Amid public concern surrounding the proprietary and exploitative use of personal data by corporations and public institutions, and its consequences from a sociotechnical perspective, narratives around digital commons have recently emerged, framing potential alternatives. This paper presents the co-creation of the Digital Democracy and Data Commons Manifesto through a collaborative writing sprint, drawing on principles of openness, diversity, and inclusivity. The manifesto articulates a technopolitical vision for data governance that prioritizes community control over data.

Implementation science approaches the challenges of translating evidence into practice as a matter of scientific inquiry. This conceptual paper uses an implementation science lens to examine the ways in which evidence from health professions education research is brought to bear on decision-making. The authors describe different decision-making contexts and the kinds of evidence they consider, and from this, they outline ways in which research findings might be better presented to support their translation into policy and practice.

Judging by the scale of urgent political and economic importance, urban sanitation definitely ranks low among the government's priorities.

Cultural changes are needed in medicine if the benefits of technological advances are to benefit healthcare users. The of 'medical futurist' doctor Bertalan Meskó and 'e-patient' Dave deBronkart, by Eric Topol and by Robin Farmanfarmaian, are among the proliferating warnings of the approaching paradigm shift in medicine, resulting, above all, from technological advances that gives users independent access to exponentially increasing amounts of information about themselves. We question their messages only in suggesting they do not sufficiently shift the focus from 'patient' to 'person' and consequently fail to recognise the need for the credible, efficient, ethical and independent decision support that can ensure the 'democratisation of knowledge' is person empowering, not overpowering.
