Validation of a questionnaire to assess complexity of palliative care needs in primary care in Malaga, Spain: a study protocol by Jose Miguel Morales-Asencio, Rafael Gomez-Garcia, Pilar Barnestein-Fonseca, Francisca Leiva-Fernandez, Auxiliadora Fernández-López, Maria Luisa Martín-Roselló, Virginia Patricia Aguiar-Leiva

“…A specific diagnostic tool to assess complexity in PC (IDC-Pal: Instrumento Diagnóstico de la Complejidad en Cuidados Paliativos, in Spanish) was created in community and hospital settings with 36 items to diagnose PC complexity, but its application in primary care is difficult.Aims (1) To generate an adapted version to primary care of the IDC-Pal tool to identify and stratify PC complexity in the adult population. (2) To determine face, content, criterion and construct validity and reliability of the new instrument.Methods and analysis There are three phases of clinimetric cross-sectional observational validation study: Phase 0: Review of the original tool structure suitability for its use in primary care setting by a committee (researchers and the original developer team). …”

“Agent – Environment” Evolution Mechanism of Greenbelt from the Perspective of Complex Adaptive System: A Case Study of Beijing’s Greenbelts by Song LIU, Peiyu SHEN, Dizi LIU, Zhaocheng BAI

“…This research takes Beijing’s greenbelts (the first greenbelt and the second greenbelt) as an example to, according to the “bottom-up” research paradigm of complex adaptive system theory (CAS), depict the adaptation process of multiple agents to promote the evolution of the greenbelt system, and explore the evolution mechanism of greenbelt, so as to seek targeted solutions to optimize greenbelt planning and promote the implementation of greenbelt policies.MethodsBased on the theory of complex adaptive system, the characteristics of the greenbelt system are analyzed from the perspectives of basic characteristics, structural composition and adaptive mechanism. …”
