Portrait du décroissant en militant-chercheur
Authors: LEPESANT Michel
Published: April 2023

The degrowth activist-researcher is not in the middle of two poles, the activist and the researcher, but is the hybrid medium from which the figures of the activist and the researcher can emerge. This original hybridity and primary interdependence are based on the entanglement between fact and value. A fact no more belongs to a pragmatic-positive world than a value resides in the clouds of the theoretical-normative. Such a primary relationship between fact and value could be the first principle of a " political epistemology " – as there is a " political economy " – of which the activist-researcher would be the principal figure.

Authors: Arynov A. , Magrupov A. , Mukanova M. , Smagina I.
Published: April 2023

Relevance: The Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care of the Kazakh Research Institute of Oncology and Radiology is an organized system for providing care to oncological patients, which consists of anesthetic support for all types of oncosurgical operations, postoperative
intensive therapy, intensive care for patients in cases of life-threatening conditions during radiation and chemotherapy. High-quality care is possible only with an appropriate level of professional training of medical and nursing staff and a sufficient provision of life support and monitoring
technologies, medicines, and medical products.
The study aimed to analyze the work of the Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care in 2021-2022 to further improve the quality of
specialized anesthetic and resuscitation care to oncological patients in KazIOR.
Methods: The reporting documentation on clinical activities of the Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care for 2021 and 2022 was
analyzed.
Results: In 2021-2022, 5517 anesthesias were performed. While the number of anesthesias in 2022 increased by 9.2%, the structure of the types
of anesthesia performed remains unchanged. Anesthetic complications were 0.27%, with no anesthetic mortality. The number of patients admitted
to postoperative intensive care in 2022 decreased by 6%. The share of patients re-admitted to the Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care
was 2.1% in 2021 and 2.7% in 2022. The proportion of elderly and senile patients accounted for more than 40% of the intensive care department
patients. In 40% of cases, patients suffered from chronic diseases of the cardiovascular system. Mortality at the Department of Anesthesiology and
Intensive Care for the analyzed period was 42 cases, of which postoperative were 25 cases, while postoperative mortality remains approximately
at the same level, and in-hospital and general mortality has slightly increased.
Conclusion: The reporting documentation analysis for 2021-2022 showed that the number of anesthesia performed and the total number of
patients treated in the Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care increases annually, which requires further improvement and modernization of the anesthesiology and intensive care service in oncology.
Sengwer Indigenous Environmental Knowledge and the Management of Cherang'any Forest Resources, Elgeyo-marakwet County, Kenya
Authors: S.K. Mang’ira , J.K. Koske , R.K. Kerich
Published: April 2023

Globally, forests supply important environmental benefits within and across ecosystem boundaries and despite institutional management, forest ecosystems are subjected to land-use changes which diminish their role. In Kenya, the current institutional management instruments are largely in place but there is a continuous reduction of forest cover presently estimated at 5.7% of the national land area as opposed to the desired > 10.0%. The integration of indigenous ecological knowledge into forest management may provide a much-needed bridge between indigenous communities and institutional understanding of sustainable forest management. Thus, the study examined the role of IEK in the management of forest among the Sengwer community living next to the Cherang’any forest, Elgeiyo-Marakwet County, Kenya. The study targeted older community members who were purposely sampled as key informants. The study used focus group discussion as the main instruments for data collections and thus qualitative analysis was more appropriate. The output was presented in thematic format. The study established that the Sengwer indigenous forest management techniques are compatible with institutional techniques applied in the management of the forest to the extent that institutionalized methods are more pervasive in the management of the forest. Based on the discussions, the study concluded that the indigenous conservation practices need to be formalized and integrated with the modern forest management practices. IEK can be included in the sustainable conservation of forests if the socio-economic status of the community is improved through economic empowerment. Further, the study recommends that Kenya’s Forest Conservation and Management Act of 2016 provides a basis for the integration of IEK into modern forest management techniques.
Poppy cakes — preparation traditions
Authors: Tabunșcic Olga
Published: April 2023

Traditional gastronomy, along with history, culture, religion and ethnicity, continues to play an important role in defi ning national and individual identity. Th e intense pace of modern life in recent decades is changing the conception of food very rapidly, and gastronomic traditions are collapsing dramatically under the action of the new preferences of the population to feed themselves. Th e tendency to standardize the taste in terms of food, leads to the disappearance of diversity and culinary identity. Th us, more and more traditional dishes, full of taste, value and history, tend to be forgotten. In the trend of revitalization of poppy cakes, the results of the study are presented within the State Program 20.8009.0807.17 REVICULT; the recipe being found in the Republic of Moldova (north and center), as well as in Moldova and Transylvania, Romania. Poppy cakes (Turte cu mac) are considered fasting dishes. Th ose prepared on Christmas Eve are called Th e Diapers/Wormwoods of the Lord, Julfe, Christmas Cakes referring to the diapers in which the Jesus Christ was wrapped at birth, recording the end of the fasting and being off ered as alms. Th ey are attested, according to several sources, in existence for hundreds of years, the recipes being transmitted from generation to generation and adapted to the possibilities of the time. Th us, we fi nd in some localities cakes prepared and covered only with poppy, aft er their burial (Tarasova village, Mateuţi village, Rezina district), in other localities buried with julfă (mixture of water sweetened with honey, with shredded hemp seeds in the square and passed through the sieve) (Drochia district), covered with shredded walnuts and with poppy or only with poppy (v. Salcia, v. Climatuţii de Jos, v. Socola, v. Vadul-Rascov, Floreși/Kamenka/Soldanesti district, Ungheni district, Donduseni district). Th e utensils used in the preparation of various sweet dishes, such as macohon, marcoteţ, budăiul, etc. are of interest for the study.
“Yeshiva Tsirelson” and the Synagogue of glaziers and bookbinders — projects to recreate the Jewish religious and educational center in Chisinau (the beginning of the 90s of the XX century — the beginning of the 20s of the XXI century): history and perspectives
Authors: Damian Victor
Published: April 2023

During the period of 20-30th of XXth century, I. L.Tsirelson initiated the establishing of some kindergartens, a lyceum, the “Yeshiva of Tsirelson”, and some other. During the Soviet times, only the Synagogue of Glaziers and Bookbinders functioned in Chisinau. Th e process of national Jewish renaissance in Chisinau started in the late 80s of the XX century. Th e key role in the renaissance had played the future Chief Rabbi of Chisinau and Moldova, Z. L. Abelsky (Habad). During the period of 1990—1992 Z. L. Abelsky established a yeshiva, Jewish kindergarten, two schools and some other cultural objects in the Chisinau. Also, he planned to build a religious and educational complex in the Chisinau. Th e main part of the complex was planned for building at the Rabbi Tsirelson Street at the place of the former “Yeshiva of Tsirelson”. For another part of the complex was planned the Habad-Lubovich Street, near the Synagogue of Glaziers and Bookbinders, which was the residence of Abelsky. Unfortunately, this project had not been implemented. However, the project has not lost its relevance still. In 2013 the Jewish Community of the Republic of Moldova (EORM) again planned to start the restoration project of the “Yeshiva of Tsirelson”, but again without success. Moreover, a new restoration project is planned for the period of 2021—2023.

The moderating effect of farming contracts on the relationship between responsive supply chain elements and supply chain resilience
Authors: James Kaconco , Betty Nabuuma , Thaddeo Mugarura Jude , Kirabira John Baptist , Norbert Mukasa , Neil Sagala Paul
Published: April 2023

Food supply chain disruptions have of recent increased in terms of severity and frequency leading to viability problems for most businesses in related supply chain networks and hunger among millions of human beings. In the extant supply chain literature elements of responsive supply chain such as velocity, versatility, and visibility have been suggested as some of the possible strategies to build supply chain resilience. It has therefore been suggested in this study that these elements’ influence on supply chain resilience is moderated by contract farming as a special form of supplier development. Farming contracts are either production or marketing contracts. Data was collected from a conveniently selected sample of 200 restaurants that use supplier development in the form of contract farming for acquiring critical resources for their operations. A structural equation modelling was used to analyse data related to the direct effects and multi group structural equation modelling was used to assess the moderating effects. The results revealed that there is a statistically significant relationship between the three selected elements of responsive supply chain management and supply chain resilience, and all the hypothesised relationships were moderated by type of farming contracts, with the relationships being stronger under marketing contracts for supply chain velocity, and under production contracts than under marketing contracts for relationships involving versatility and visibility. Therefore, the study recommended that production contracts be used in the fast-food restaurant industry in order to reduce supply chain vulnerabilities, and marketing contracts to build supply chain capabilities. This is the first study that has sought to assess the differential utility of different farming contracts through assessing their moderating effects as a build-up on previous research that has already established that supplier development in the form of contract farming leads to supplier development.

Published: April 2023

This research aims to examine the influence of top management commitment on the operational performance through the mediating role of the green purchasing and ISO 14000 implementation. This study used a quantitative approach and collected data by distributing 70 questionnaires to textile companies located in the Central Java region, Indonesia. One respondent from the top management level, a manager or general manager represented each company. Off the 70, 48 questionnaires were returned and completed correctly. Data analysis used a partial least square (PLS) technique with SmartPLS software version 3.0. The results show that top management commitment has a significant influence on green purchasing, ISO 14000 implementation, and operational performance directly. The results also show that top management commitment also influences the operational performance through the mediating role of the green purchasing and the ISO 14000 implementation. Additional findings indicate that top management commitment contributes more influence on the operational performance through the mediating role of the green purchasing and the ISO1400 implementation than its direct influence. This study contributes to the current theory on supply chain management and paves the way for the practitioner in enhancing the operational performance of the textile industry.

In some of the world’s penitentiary systems, one of the alternative measures to the absolute penalty of imprisonment is the institution of parole, which allows for early release from prison. The subject of considerations in this study are three fundamental problems. Initially, the authors wanted to illustrate the legal regulations and premises regarding the possibility of applying conditional early release. The discussion of this issue is preceded by the presentation of the historical background showing the establishment of this institution in the course of changes taking place in the functioning of prison systems. Secondly, based on the statistical data of the Polish and Hungarian penitentiary services, the authors present selected information on the population of prisoners applying for parole. The study closes with the third problem, in which a discussion on the possibilities related to the use of this alternative measure in relation to the absolute penalty of imprisonment was undertaken.
Zespół nadpobudliwości psychoruchowej z deficytem uwagi ADHD – perspektywa kliniczno-kryminologiczna
Authors:   Szkoła Wyższa Wymiaru Sprawiedliwości, NOWOGRODZKA AGNIESZKA , MOJS EWA ,   Uniwersytet Medyczny w Poznaniu
Published: April 2023

Nadpobudliwość psychoruchowa z deficytem uwagi to zaburzenie, którego podstawowe objawy – nadpobudliwość, impulsywność i zaburzenia w procesach uwagi– rozpoznaje się w dzieciństwie. W późniejszym okresie – od dorastania aż po dorosłość – objawy zmniejszają natężenie, u znacznej jednak grupy osób z rozpoznaniem ADHD nie ustępują one całkowicie. Przyczyn zaburzenia upatruje się w działaniu różnych czynników, zarówno biologicznych (genetyczne, prenatalne oraz okołoporodowe), jak i środowiskowych (psychospołeczne i toksyny środowiskowe). Zaburzenie ma negatywny wpływ na funkcjonowanie dzieci w środowisku szkolnym, rodzinnym, jak i rówieśniczym. Badania na dorosłych osobach z ADHD potwierdzają jednak również długoterminowe konsekwencje zespołu dla funkcjonowania osób z rozpoznaniem także w okresie dorosłości, tj. trudności w relacjach czy problem w planowaniu i analizowaniu konsekwencji podejmowanych działań. Zaburzenie stanowi istotny czynnik kryminogenny. Badania pokazują, że u dużej grupy osób skazanych odbywających karę można rozpoznać objawy nadpobudliwości psychoruchowej z deficytem uwagi. Osoby z tej grupy częściej ponownie dopuszczają się przestępstw lub popełniają więcej przestępstw z użyciem agresji niż skazani nieujawniający objawów zaburzenia, częściej odbywają kary pozbawienia wolności niż inne rodzaje kar. Funkcjonowanie skazanych z ADHD z uwagi na liczebność tej grupy, a także z uwagi na specyfikę deficytów wymaga szczególnej uwagi, a także uruchomienia programów skierowanych specyficznie do potrzeb tej grupy.

Authors: Priyanka Singwal
Published: April 2023

This study investigates the relationship between women entrepreneurship and women empowerment in India. In recent years, women's entrepreneurship has become an important topic for research and policy, particularly in emerging nations like India. Women business owners may advance gender equality and women's empowerment while simultaneously making a substantial contribution to economic growth and development. In India, where gender inequality is pervasive in many facets of life, encouraging female entrepreneurship can be a powerful strategy for empowering women and closing the gender gap. The findings suggest that women entrepreneurship can significantly contribute to women's economic and social empowerment, particularly in income generation, challenges, skill development, and access to resources and networks. The study's findings also have important implications for policymakers in promoting women entrepreneurship and addressing the barriers faced by women entrepreneurs, which could ultimately lead to greater gender equality and women's empowerment in India.

Vital source for corporate competitiveness is knowledge and there are huge number of information technology solutions providing support to knowledge management. One of the significant problem to be discussed is role of information technology in success or failure to implement Knowledge management. To reflect knowledge of employees the term “Knowledge is Power” is used in organizations and considered as asset in companies. Knowledge management is a major driving force for organizational changes and creation of wealth and company utilizing employee’s knowledge and recognizing it as an intellect capital having competitive advantage. Effective leveraging of knowledge needs usage of information technology. Though, knowledge management in companies is more than just application of information technology, it needs it as an enabler promoting creation, storing, distributing, and retrieving knowledge for reuse. Knowledge management activities cannot be achieved with implementation of information technology in this century where there is need of rapid access to significant knowledge is enormously rising.

Phase Transitions in Evolutionary and Population Dynamics
Authors: Bahar Sonya
Published: April 2023

Understanding the mechanisms of population collapse and evolutionary dynamics are critically important both for rescuing at-risk species as climate change accelerates, and for mapping the underlying patterns of evolutionary history. Studies of bacterial population collapse also have important implications for the increasing problem of antibiotic resistance. I will discuss applications of the statistical physics of nonequilibrium phase transitions (1) to computational models of evolutionary dynamics and (2) in experimental studies of microbial populations. In the computational studies, we find that simulated populations undergo a phase transition from survival to extinction as various control parameters are varied. This transition has some characteristics of directed percolation, but does not completely fall into that universality class. Experimentally, we find that microbial populations respond to some stressors with phase-transition-like collapse, and to other stressors with more graduate decline. Yeast cells (S. cerevisiae), for example, exhibit phase-transition-like behavior in the presence of heat stress, but a gradual decline in the presence of salt stress. Surprisingly, bacterial (E. coli) populations show such differential responses even to antibiotics with similar mechanisms of action.
Biological physics of chromatin structure and dynamics
Authors: Morozov Alexandre
Published: April 2023

Inside cell nuclei in eukaryotic organisms, genomic DNA is packaged into arrays of nucleosomes. Each fully wrapped nucleosome consists of 147 base pairs of DNA wrapped around a histone octamer core. The resulting complex of DNA with histones and other proteins forms a multi-scale structure called chromatin. At the most fundamental level of chromatin organization, arrays of nucleosomes form 10-nm fibers that are thought to resemble beads on a string. Chromatin fibers fold into higher-order structures which ultimately make up functional chromosomes. Depending on the organism and the cell type, 75-90% of genomic DNA is packaged into nucleosomes. The question of how various cellular functions such as gene transcription are carried out on the chromatin template is an outstanding puzzle in eukaryotic biology. In this talk, I will discuss recent advances in understanding fundamental biophysical mechanisms of chromatin equilibrium and non-equilibrium dynamics. In particular, I will demonstrate that in baker's yeast, neighboring nucleosomes invade each other's territories through DNA unwrapping and translocation, or through initial assembly in partially wrapped states. Thus, the classic 'beads-on-a-string' picture of well-positioned, non-overlapping nucleosomes must be supplanted by a more dynamic view in which nucleosomes, aided by chromatin remodelers, transiently assemble and disassemble, translocate, and interact with each other and with other chromatin components such as regulatory factors and transcriptional machinery.
Character Education to Address Elementary Students’ Emotional and Behavioral Development: a Quasi-Experimental Study
Authors: Garwood Justin D.
Published: April 2023

Most states now require some form of character education to be taught to students in the United States. At the same time, school personnel are encouraged to use evidence-based practices to best support their students’ needs. A current character education program based in positive psychology – The Positivity Project (P2) – is experiencing massive uptake in schools across the nation, but to date there is no experimental research available on the program. The current study includes a quasi-experimental design to investigate the relationship between fourth-grade students’ exposure to the P2 curriculum and changes in their teacher-reported emotional and behavioral problems. Results indicated that compared to a control group, students experiencing the P2 program demonstrated significantly greater reductions in their externalizing (g = .6) and internalizing (g = .7) behaviors across the first half of the school year. Future research needs are proposed.

Operational Control Material in a Fair Criminal Trial: Public or Classified?
Authors: Blajerski Michał
Published: April 2023

The purpose of this article is to determine whether the use of operational control materials as trial evidence, with due regard to their secrecy protected under a ‘classified’ clause, consequently results in a fair criminal trial. Reflections on this subject, also against the background of selected court decisions, have been illustrated with examples of a destructive impact of secrecy of operational control materials on the implementation of the principles of speed and openness of the criminal procedure and respect for the right to defence. At the same time, the admissible ways of solving the dilemmas arising at this level, consisting in the initiatives used by the procedural bodies aimed at removing secrecy clauses from the discussed materials, were presented in an approving light. Above all, however, in this context the author made an attempt to demonstrate that evidence based on operational control materials does not, in principle, deserve any special protection in a criminal trial and, except for a few cases, it should de lege lata be public. Finally, the theses presented in the article call into question, on the basis of the applicable legal regulations, the current practice in the field of providing operational control materials labelled as classified for the purposes of criminal proceedings.

方法：本研究為飲食教育介入型研究，募集50位新陳代謝科門診之第2型糖尿病素食者。營養師根據以實際食物設計之「富含維生素B12之天然食物來源圖片單張」指導病人對於此類食物的學習及認識每日建議攝取量，並以問卷了解飲食教育前後受試者之營養知識、飲食態度與行為、營養素攝取量及監測血清維生素B12改變情形。

結果：發現在攝取藻類及菇類食物的習慣來看，其攝取頻率及飲食行為份量於飲食教育介入後兩組皆顯著上升(p<0.001)。在血清維生素B12 ≤200 pmol/L組，飲食教育介入三個月後之受試者血清維生素B12濃度有上升且達統計顯著意義(p<0.001)。

結論：本研究建議第2型糖尿病素食者透過持續的飲食教育介入，並可能藉由增加天然飲食中菇類或藻類之攝取而改善其維生素B12營養狀況以協助素食者於日常生活中實行及促進其維持健康飲食行為。

 

Purpose: To investigate whether dietary education and individual guidance on vitamin B12 natural foods should be strengthened for vegetarian diabetic patients without oral vitamin B complex or injection of vitamin B12so as to help them measure the risk of vitamin B12 deficiency, while the patients’ nutrition knowledge, attitudes and behaviors after intervention through dietary education were also assessed.

Methods: Conducted in the form of an intervention, the study recruited 50 vegetarians with type 2 diabetes visiting our outpatient department of metabolism. A dietitian provided subjects with instructions developed based on the health education leaflet on Vitamin B12 Natural Foods to help them learn and understand the recommended daily intake of the foods; questionnaires were then used to evaluate each subject’s nutritional knowledge, dietary attitudes and behaviors, and nutrient intake with the changes of serum vitamin B12 level in the subject monitored before and after the dietary education.

Results: The habits of consuming algae and mushroom among subjects reported a significant increase after the intervention of dietary education (p<0.001). For subjects with serum vitamin B12 ≤200 pmol/L, serum vitamin B12 concentration showed an improvement reaching statistical significance (p<0.001) after three months of dietary education.

Conclusion: The study suggests that continuous dietary education does help vegetarians with type 2 diabetes improve their vitamin B12 nutritional status, and increasing the intake of mushrooms or algae in the natural diet appears to be conducive in helping vegetarians implement and promote healthy eating behaviors in their daily lives.

 
La ruptura entre el orden inmanente y el orden trascendente según Charles Taylor. Propuestas para un tiempo de síntesis en clave hegeliana UN TIEMPO DE SÍNTESIS EN CLAVE HEGELIANA
Authors: Martínez Pérez Francisco Javier
Published: April 2023

Para Charles Taylor la gran invención de Occidente es el establecimiento de un orden inmanente a la naturaleza. Un orden inmanente que implicaba negar cualquier forma de conexión entre las cosas de la naturaleza y lo sobrenatural por otro, ya sea entendido como un Dios trascendente, o el mundo de los espíritus o fuerzas mágicas. Incluso definir la religión en términos de la distinción entre inmanente y trascendente es una división hecha a medida de nuestra cultura moderna y que para nuestro hermeneuta canadiense dicha distinción se ha vuelto fundacional. Es más, por primera vez en el Occidente moderno, a partir de la ciencia posgalileana, el orden inmanente se convierte en el trasfondo de todo nuestro pensamiento. 

Se produce un doble movimiento hacia la inmanencia a partir de la razón responsable y del orden natural que lleva al establecimiento de un nuevo orden moral de la Modernidad: un mundo como contención de los instintos y una personalización del yo a través del psiquismo, la interioridad racional y el autodominio disciplinado. Todo queda reducido a una sucesión encadenada de causalidades autónomas, en el que apenas queda espacio para las preguntas de carácter trascendente.

Frente a la epistemología de la mediación cartesiana y dualista que acaba en el cientificismo naturalista y frente a las pretensiones imperiales del mecanicismo omnímodo y de la tecnología omnipresente, el proyecto filosófico de Taylor es un proyecto que pretende reconstruir la identidad moderna a partir de una visión totalizadora en clave hegeliana, de alcance universal. Taylor trata de poner orden y descubrir la transparencia en medio de la confusión excluyente y la negatividad.  Es posible el ascenso hacia un orden moral más elevado a partir de la apertura a horizontes de significado y la potenciación del diálogo.

Ecuador se encuentra en una zona de alto riesgo sísmico y al verse afectado por grandes terremotos ha optado por la implementación de nuevas tecnologías estructurales, una de estas son los disipadores de energía. Por esta razón es que el presente artículo tiene el objetivo de realizar un análisis comparativo entre disipadores sísmicos tipo SLB y riostras de pandeo restringido BRB, el cual parte de modelos base tomados de Yaguana et al. los cuales tienen una composición estructural metálica y ocupación esencial. Para visualizar los efectos de los dispositivos antes mencionados se modelaron en total seis edificaciones dividiéndolas en tres para cada disipador, luego se los sometieron a un análisis estático y análisis modal espectral. Teniendo en cuenta que los disipadores actúan en el rango no lineal se optó por un análisis Pushover considerando el reglamento FEMA y ASCE 41-13 con el fin de obtener la curva de capacidad y nivel de desempeño. Con los resultados obtenido se ha demostrado que los disipadores SLB tienen un rendimiento superior, logrando una reducción del 50 % en la deriva en un edificio de cuatro niveles en comparación con los disipadores BRB, siendo esta una de las más representativas entre ambos disipadores.

Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of difficult pelvis surgeries done by gynecologist versus general surgeons. Study Design: Retrospective study Place and Duration of Study: Department of Surgery, CMH Kharian Medical College, Kharian, Department of Surgery, Wah Medical College POF Hospital, Wah Cantt and Ghulam Muhammad Mahar Medical College, Teaching Hospital, Sukkur from 1st August 2015 to 31st July 2018. Methodology: Fifty professionals (who conducted 500 pelvic surgeries) were included either from the surgery or obstetrics gynecology departments. The study was initiated post-consent of each participant. Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) data base software was applied for designing the questionnaire. The NSQIP database collects information from 10 perioperative-variables, as well as preoperative-comorbidities, parity, previous history of pelvic surgery, ureteral obstruction and vesico-vaginal fistula, intraoperative-variables, as well as 30-day mortality and morbidity outcomes including the rate of reoperation and re-admission. Other information regarding ASA classification and malignancy were also collected. Result: There were 341 procedures performed by surgeons while 159 procedures were conducted obstetrics gynecologists’ surgeons. The mean age of the patients was 62.5±11.5 years. The ASA classification presented higher number of surgeries in class 1 and 2 of the ASA class. The apical procedures as Sacrospinous and Sacrocolpopexy were performed highest by obstetrics gynecologists. The 30 days postoperative complication rate was increased significantly in the obstetrics gynecologists group than the surgeons. Conclusion: Prolapse surgery completed by a surgeon is linked with lower odds of 30-day postoperative-complications than the one performed by the obstetrician-gynecologist.

Published: April 2023

Background: Hemodialysis patients experienced a number of issues that led to early session termination, decreased waste removal, and ultimately decreased dialysis effectiveness. The dialysis unit's nursing staff struggles to care for these patients. An updated practice guideline is needed to provide the proper interventions to lower complications and improve patient outcomes. Long-term maintenance hemodialysis has also changed the way that patients with end-stage renal failure are treated, reducing the risk of death. Objective: To assess the effect of guidelines based practice on dialysis complications in patients on permanent hemodialysis. Methodology: A single group quasi experimental conducted in Sheikh Zayed Hospital Lahore Punjab Pakistan from 1 June to 15 August 2022, data was collected Through the use of a self-structured tool from 30 people receiving hemodialysis for at least six months. The validity and reliability of the tool were initially assessed. A systematic instruction workshop was offered to care providers following the pre data, and the previously described criteria were reassess. Result: According to this study, there were 60% men and 40% female, had age between 30 to 39 (43.3%) and mostly 70% belong to urban area. The McNemar test evaluated the reduction between the pre- and post-dialysis fatigue, headache, vomiting, nausea, breathlessness and cramps with statistical significance (P<0.05). Practical implication: Patients receiving hemodialysis must need a complete nursing care in order to reduce dialysis induced complications. Conclusion: The significant reduction of dialysis complication after conducted dialysis on guideline base; it is recommended that dialysis be performed in accordance with the most recent clinical guidelines to improve hemodialysis procedures and boost hemodialysis efficacy.
