Authors: Lima Antonio Olry de Labry , Spacirova Zuzana , Espín Jaime
Published: May 2021

BackgroundThe lack of transparency in the methodology of unit cost estimation and the usage of confidential or undisclosed information prevents cost comparison and makes the transferability of the results across countries difficult. The objective of this article is to compare the methodologies used in the estimation of the cost of a day case cataract extirpation that are described in the official sources. MethodsA semi-structured questionnaire regarding information on costing methodologies was developed and sent to consortium partners. Additionally, publicly available sources of unit cost of cataract surgery of nine European countries were searched and analysed. ResultsThe findings showed a considerable diversity across countries on unit costs varying from 432.35€ in Poland (minor degree of severity) to 3,411.96€ in Portugal (major degree of severity). In addition, differences were found in the frequency of updating the costs and on the level of detail of different types of cataract surgery. The unit of activity were Diagnosis-Related Groups in all countries except Slovenia. All unit costs include direct costs and variable overheads (except Germany where nursing costs are financed separately). Differences in unit costs across countries may be driven by fixed overheads. Methodological documents explaining the identification, measurement and evaluation of resources included in the unit costs with exception of England are not publicly available. ConclusionsWe can conclude that while unit costs of cataract extirpation are publicly available, the information on methodological aspects is very scarce. This appears to pose a significant problem for cross-country comparisons of costs and transferability of results from one country to another.

Background: In view of the similar MRI findings of endometriosis-related ovarian neoplasms, this study aimed to investigate the feasibility of whole-tumor apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram analysis for differentiating endometriosis-related tumors: seromucinous borderline tumor (SMBT), clear cell carcinoma (CCC) and endometrioid carcinoma (EC).Methods: A total of 85 patients (22 with SMBT, 42 with CCC and 21 with EC) were retrospectively enrolled. Clinical data including age, stage, laterality, solid component ADC (ADCSC) and whole-tumor ADC histogram-derived parameters, such as the volume, ADCmean, the 10th, 50th and 90th percentile ADCs, inhomogeneity, skewness, kurtosis and entropy, were compared among SMBT, CCC and EC. The diagnostic efficacy of these parameters was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.Results: There were significant differences in age, ADCSC and histogram parameters including volume, ADCmean, the 10th, 50th and 90th percentile ADCs among three kinds of tumors (all p < 0.05). Patients with SMBT were significantly younger than patients with CCC/EC. The significantly higher ADCSC and smaller volume were found in SMBT than in CCC/ EC. The ADCmean was significantly higher in CCC than in EC. The 10th percentile ADC was significantly lower in EC than in SMBT/CCC. The 50th and 90th percentile ADCs were significantly higher in CCC than in SMBT/EC. For differentiating SMBT from CCC, AUCs of the ADCSC, volume, the 50th and 90th percentile ADCs were 0.97, 0.86, 0.72 and 0.81, respectively. For differentiating SMBT from EC, AUCs of the ADCSC, volume and the 10th percentile ADC were 0.97, 0.71 and 0.72, respectively. For differentiating CCC from EC, AUCs of the ADCmean, the 10th, 50th and 90th percentile ADCs were 0.79, 0.72, 0.81 and 0.85, respectively. Conclusions: Similar with ADCSC, whole-tumor ADC histogram analysis was valuable for differentiating endometriosis-related tumors. It was helpful for the 50th, 90th percentile ADCs and volume in differentiating SMBT from CCC; for the volume and 10th percentile ADC in differentiating SMBT from EC, and for the ADCmean, the 10th, 50th and 90th percentile ADCs in differentiating CCC from EC.

Background: Testing of an entire community has been used as an approach to control COVID-19. In Hong Kong, a universal community testing programme (UCTP) was implemented at the fadeout phase of a community epidemic in July to September 2020, to determine the prevalence of unrecognised cases and limit any remaining transmission chains. We described the utility of the UCTP in finding unrecognised cases, and analysed data from the UCTP and other sources to characterise transmission dynamics.Methods: We described the characteristics of people participating in the UCTP, and compared the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19 cases detected by the UCTP versus those detected by clinical diagnosis and public health surveillance. We developed a Bayesian model to estimate the age-specific incidence of infection and the proportion of cases detected by clinical diagnosis and public health surveillance.Findings: 1.77 million people, 24% of the Hong Kong population, participated in the UCTP from 1 to 14 September 2020. The UCTP identified 32 new infections (1.8 per 100,000 samples tested), consisting of 29% of all local cases reported during the two-week UCTP period. Compared with the existing clinical diagnosis and public health surveillance, the UCTP detected a higher proportion of sporadic cases (62% versus 27%, p <0.01) and identified 6 (out of 18) additional transmission chains during that period. We estimated that 27% (95% credible interval: 22%, 34%) of all infections were detected by the existing clinical diagnosis and public health surveillance in the third wave.Interpretation: We reported empirical evidence of the utility of population-wide COVID-19 testing in detecting unrecognised infections and transmission chains. Around three quarters of infections have not been identified through existing surveillance approaches including contact tracing.

Background: Seizures can present in many diseases like epilepsy which is in the list of the commonest neurological diseases. Some seizures can present as psychogenic seizures. Epilepsy can also be associated with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures.Objectives: To assess prevalence and risk factors of psychogenic non-epileptic among adult Sudanese epileptic patients.Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional facility-based study was conducted during Jan-Feb 2021 at Daoud Charity Clinic in Omdurman city, Sudan. Data collection was conducted through an interview-based structured questionnaire and there was a total number of 99 participants who were included in this study. Results: Overall, in this study there were 99 epileptic patients. 57% were females, 79% of the patients reside in Khartoum, and 32% reached secondary school. The main type of epilepsy was generalized tonic clonic (68%) followed by focal with impairment (11%). The majority of patients have been diagnosed with epilepsy for more than three years (65%). Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures history was found in 29 (29%). The PNES prevalence was significantly higher in patients with social problems and depression (p value 0.005, 0.00 respectively). Patients with depression were having 14 times risk to have psychogenic non-epileptic seizures than patients without depression (CI 95%: ##-##). Most of the participants had no sexual or physical abuse history, school/university/work refusal, and\or absence (94%, 84%, and 63% respectively).Conclusion: A considerable high prevalence rate of PNES can be found among adult epileptic patients. Epileptic patients suffering from social problems or/and depression and poor economic status have a higher tendency to develop psychogenic non-epileptic seizures especially after two to three years of treatment and above.

Published: May 2021

Background: Cesarean section is an important surgical procedure to save mothers and/or babies’ lives. Current trends show that the rate of Cesarean section is increasing dramatically over the years. The aims of this study were to compare the effects of "motivational interviewing" and "information, motivation and behavioral skills” model on choosing mode of delivery among pregnant women.Methods: In a four-armed, parallel-design randomized controlled trial, 120 women were randomly assigned to three brief interventions and one control groups. We recruited pregnant women referring to Ebnesina hospital, Tehran- Iran from 2019-2020. The intervention groups included: 1) motivational interviewing; 2) face-to-face information, motivation and behavioural skills model; and 3) information, motivation and behavioural skills model provided using a mobile application. The control group received usual antenatal care. The inclusion criteria were being literate, gestational age 24 to 32 weeks at recruitment, being able to speak Persian, having no complications in the current pregnancy, having no indications for CS, and having enough time to participate in the intervention sessions. The primary outcome of the study was mode of delivery. The secondary outcomes included women’s intentions to undergo any mode of delivery and women’s self-efficacy in choosing the mode of delivery. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean, frequency and standard deviation), inferential statistics including independent t-test, Paired t-test, and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: Following the interventions, significant differences were found in the women’s self-efficacy and intention to choose mode of delivery (P < 0.05). Women who had used the mobile application had more improvements in the self-efficacy and intention than the face-to-face intervention groups. Conclusions: Our study showed positive significant effects of various types of brief interventions to improve women’s self-efficacy and intention to choose mode of delivery among the participant women. Providing the intervention using mobile application showed even better results. However, in order to decrease unnecessary CS rate, evidence-based interventions targeted at health-facility and health system levels should be implemented along with these simple, non-expensive, tailored to women, and culture-oriented brief interventions.Trial registration: This study has been registered in Iran Randomized Clinical Trial Center (IRCT20151208025431N7).

Published: May 2021

The article is devoted to the issue of financial risk management of industrial enterprises, which is relevant in the modern realities of the Ukrainian economy. The Google Trends web application analyzes the popularity of search queries in business and industry for phrases such as "financial risk" and "financial risk management" in Ukraine and in the world as a whole over the past 12 months. Based on official statistics, the analysis of the dynamics of the main financial indicators of industrial enterprises of Sumy region for 5 years, namely financial results before tax, financial results from operating activities and operating profitability. Based on the coefficient of variation, the level of financial risk that accompanies the activities of industrial enterprises of Sumy region is determined. The essence of financial risks of an industrial enterprise is revealed and its constituent elements are presented. The main existing approaches to the quantitative assessment of financial risks are presented, which are mainly based on probabilistic assessment. A methodical approach to financial risk management of industrial enterprises is proposed, which provides for constant monitoring of deviations of the integrated indicator, calculated on the basis of financial statements of the enterprise and includes indicators of liquidity, financial stability, profitability, cash flow from financial activities. At the same time, the company is recommended to set clear boundaries of possible deviations of the integrated financial indicator. Emphasis is also placed on the need to form and implement an integrated financial risk management system at industrial enterprises of Ukraine in the modern economic realities of Ukraine. A clear system of financial risk management will allow industrial enterprises to respond in a timely manner to potential threats, neutralize financial risks and avoid possible losses.

Published: May 2021

The article considers the preconditions for sustainable development of the energy sector from the standpoint of political and economic basis of energy transitions, actualizes and reveals the scientific problem of the impact of socio-technical transitions, in particular energy, on economic sustainability. It is determined that the task of assessing the efficiency of the energy system as a set of criteria for achieving a compromise of interests, stability and reliability of energy markets is best solved by assessing energy sustainability. Problems and ways to intensify the use of energy policy levers to promote sustainable energy transitions have been identified. It is determined that with the help of sustainable energy transitions the state is able to overcome its own inefficiency of energy conversion and consumption and to demonstrate the phenomenon of decoupling (economic growth without significant growth of energy consumption). Energy policies and strategies as means of energy transition management are considered: creation of preconditions for their occurrence; acceleration / deceleration, support of current transittions; minimization of negative external factors and social factors of vulnerability to changes in socio-technical regimes; maintaining an optimal energy balance. A deeper understanding of the process of energy transition management, vulnerability of energy systems under their influence has been achieved. Three key factors of energy transition management in order to strengthen the level of energy sustainability and ensure sustainable development of the economy: the course (flow) of transitions, the vulnerability of the economic system under their influence and the level of sustainability of energy transitions. Effective management of such transitions with the help of these factors can be a guarantee of sustainable development not only of the energy sector but also of the economy as a whole and create the conditions for its transition to a sustainable and circular type of development. The management of energy transitions in the energy sector of Ukraine is analyzed on the example of diversification of electricity supply through the operation of small solar power plants in private households.

Published: May 2021

The analysis of publishing activity on the formation and implementation of local budgets in terms of ensuring their financial self-sufficiency has shown an increase in recent scientific interest in this issue, which indicates its relevance. This interest is especially important in the context of decentralization budget reforms in recent years. Thus, the purpose of this study is to analyze the self-sufficiency of local budgets in terms of decentralization reforms of the budget system and new conditions for the formation of the revenue side of local budgets. In the process of performing the tasks of the work the methods of economic, system and comparative analysis and synthesis were used. The analysis of statistical data on the indicators of the revenue side of local budgets was carried out using calculation-analytical, graphical methods. The paper analyzes the main definitions of the concept of financial self-sufficiency, and determines that most of them are based on the resource approach and assume the availability of sufficient financial resources to meet the economic and social needs of the region. Amendments to the Budget Code provide for the redistribution of tax revenues in favor of local budgets in terms of personal income tax, excise tax, income tax and other taxes. The analysis of the structure of the consolidated budget of Sumy region showed that the key source of formation of its revenue part is the receipt of funds from the personal income tax and local taxes. At the same time, revenues from these sources have increased significantly in recent years, primarily due to the growth of the minimum wage, as well as the intensification of entrepreneurial activity. The analysis of the volumes of local taxes and fees by cities of oblast subordination showed that the largest volumes of revenues are brought by the single tax and payment for land. As an indicator of the level of financial self-sufficiency of local budgets, it is proposed to use the share of own revenues in the total amount of budget revenues. According to which indicator a comparative analysis of the consolidated budgets of Sumy, Kharkiv and Poltava regions was conducted and it was determined that Kharkiv region has the highest level of financial self-sufficiency.
TRANSPARENCY OF BANKING SUPERVISION AS A NECESSARY CONDITION FOR THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE NATIONAL BANK OF UKRAINE
Authors: Zarutska О. , Pavlov R.
Published: May 2021

The article describes modern approaches to banking supervision, focused on the study of business models of banks and their risk profile. Approaches to determining the regime of supervision and measures to influence banks should take into account the specifics of their financial condition and the city in the market of banking services. Supervision tools should be objective and transparent. The introduction of innovative methods for determining business models and adequate supervisory actions is especially relevant in the period of instability of the banking system of Ukraine. Over the past ten years, the number of banks has declined significantly. The reason for the bankruptcy of most banks were realized credit, currency and liquidity risks. The recent crisis has significantly increased the requirements for methods of assessing the financial stability of the banking system. The National Bank of Ukraine is constantly improving the procedures for assessing the quality of active banking operations, regulatory capital adequacy, fixed capital adequacy and determining the required level of capital adequacy ratios in order to promote financial stability. At the same time, the definition of a business model remains subjective. The analysis of banks' business models should take into account the detailed characteristics of their assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The article proposes the method of structural and functional groups of banks on the basis of self-organizing maps Kohonen. The methodology is quite transparent and effective. Groups of banks with the same business models are combined around the extreme values of financial indicators, in the relevant areas of increased risk. This article justifies the need for a broad coverage of indicators that characterize banking risks. The formation of business models of banks should be determined by the characteristics of the banking system in a particular period. Characteristics of the structure of assets, liabilities, income, expenses and other financial indicators of banks reflect the peculiarities of the banking system and specific banks. The methods of neural networks - Kohonen's self-organizing maps - are adapted for processing large data sets. The study recommends that central banks use clear technology for the formation and analysis of business models. Subjective approaches to assessing financial stability and the choice of banking supervision regime violate the principle of central bank independence, as they involve a variety of non-economic factors.

Published: May 2021

The article is devoted to the investigation and identification of financial risks of industrial enterprises. The aim of the article is to formalize the financial risks of industrial enterprises’ activity and development in the context of the implementation of the value-based management. The modern tendencies and problems of functioning and development of the industrial enterprises of Ukraine are characterized by the following issues: deficit of the financial capital in the domestic and international markets; increasing the debts of enterprises within the real sector of the economy to a greater extent than the growth of equity is; low level of bond attraction as a source of additional financing; financing the majority of the reproduction processes of the industrial sector at the expense of own money of economic entities; monopolization of the main part of industrial production, which demotivates business entities to implement innovative activities; orientation of the sectorial structure of investments in favor of low-tech industries
Based on the study of financial risks and the factors that shape them, the effects of the financial risks impact on socio-economic and financial indicators of industrial development have been defined. The financial risks that are controlled and managed by the financial management of the enterprise include non-systematic (specific) financial risks, internal risks (capital structure risks, credit and investment risks).
Value-based management has been grounded as the effective system of financial management at the enterprise. The comparative analysis of the balance sheet, market and cash flow approaches within value management allows determine the balance sheet method, in particular the model of economic value added, as optimal for use in the management system of an industrial enterprise.
The model of the value-based management for industrial enterprises, proposed in the work, has been built on the basis of harmonization of financial risk factors of industrial enterprises with the factors of the economic value added model. It will contribute to effective financial management of economic entities.

Improving the efficiency of the enterprise involves the optimization of all business processes related to the production of finished products from orders for raw materials to direct output. The article analyzes the work of the manufacturing enterprise warehouse and highlights its main functions. The functions of a warehouse can be represented in the business process diagram of a warehouse organization. The work of the warehouse is divided into the receiving of material values, the loading of finished products and internal warehouse processes. In addition, a list of the main problems arising in the management of warehouse facilities was formulated, the reasons for which are the great influence of the human factor on the activities of this business process. It is people who are responsible for the correct design and accounting of material values, their movement and control. Therefore, the implementing of an automated warehouse management system (WMS-system) can solve these problems in part or full. In addition, the work highlights the components of the effectiveness of the WMS-system for the activities of the warehouse as one of the elements of the business process at the enterprise. These components include: revenue stream, customer relationships, key activities, key resources, key partners, values and cost structure. It is possible to improve the warehouse results, hence the whole enterprise results, by increasing the efficiency of storage, improving the accuracy and speed of tasks, optimizing the number of employees, and the availability of modern equipment that will quickly and efficiently perform warehousing operations.

Published: May 2021

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major health problem worldwide. Most patients
are diagnosed for the first time at late stages, which leads to very poor prognosis. It is challenging
to discover strategies for treatment at these advanced stages. Recently, monoclonal antibodies
(mAbs) targeting specific cellular signaling pathways in HCC have been developed. Unfortunately,
they still have a low survival rate, and some of them failed clinically to produce effective responses
even if they showed very good results against HCC in preclinical studies. This review focuses on
and discusses the possible causes for the failure of mAbs, precisely anti-Epidermal Growth Factor
Receptor (EGFR) mAb and the crosstalk between this mAb and patients' NK cells.

Authors:   Kazan Law Institute of the Ministry of the Interior of Russia, Rustam Fanisovich Nabiev
Published: May 2021

The article deals with the problem of the spread of artillery weapons from the East to the West through the territory of the Eurasian steppes. Among the regions important for the devel-opment of firearms were countries with Islamic culture, which are currently part of the Russian Federation and the CIS. They were one of the most important links in the movement of new technologies from the East to Europe. Evidence of the development of artillery in the northern Muslim countries is not only written sources, but also finds of genuine medieval weapons. The author shows that the Muslim peoples of northern Eurasia have contributed to the world process of the development and spread of firearms. The article substantiates the view that in the territory of Russia powder technologies, the newest at that time, began to be used much earlier than in Western Europe. The author also identifies a number of areas of research into the history of powder technologies in the medieval Muslim world, such as sources of information, regions, landscapes, the main ways of spreading technologies, as well as terminology from the standpoint of cultural relationship of languages

In Muslim communities of contemporary Russia, the processes of re-Islamization are ac-tively taking place, leading to the transformation of traditional ritual. The study of the ongoing changes (usually accompanied by the disappearance of ethnic rituals) is an important research task. The article examines the funeral rites of Mishar Tatars of the Republic of Mordovia – their content and transformations. The analysis shows that in the territory of the region in the second half of the 20th century there was a syncretic tradition of carrying out funeral rites of the Mishar Tatars. The funeral and memorial combination included rituals and elements of rituals of a non-Islamic nature, borrowed from other religious, ethnic, cultural and ideological systems. At the beginning of the 21st century, the process of bringing the burial and memorial rites of Mishar Tatars of the Republic of Mordovia to Islamic canon was intensified. A distinctive feature of the process was the exclusion from the ritual practice of all rites and elements of rites that do not correspond to Muslim canons.

Este documento pretende exponer el pensamiento sobre la dirección de la Teoría Organizacional, en términos de Innovación a partir de las dinámicas del Capitalismo.El documento arranca mostrando unos recorridos sobre diferentes estadios de las diferentes escuelas y teorías que sobre las organizaciones se han desarrollado y las contribuciones que éstas han aportado al estudio de la organización desde un punto de vista completo. Se muestra el desarrollo de la función administrativa desde la Escuela Clásica hasta el Paradigma Competitivo, pues este último tiene como clave la innovación. Asimismo, se muestra los hitos del capitalismo y su influencia en las corrientes de pensamiento administrativo.La fundamentación teórica tiene que ver con el concepto de Innovación, desde los clásicos hasta las posturas más contemporáneas, desde la necesidad de Innovar hasta la Innovación por estrategia. Al final se invita al lector a discutir como estrategias innovadoras robustecerían la Teoría Organizacional.

El juez y la administración o impartición de justicia en Colombia
Authors:   Universidad del Atlántico, De los ríos Castiblanco Juan Carlos
Published: May 2021

El debate en torno a la impartición o administración de justicia en Colombia ha tomado diversos rumbos y ha sido abordado desde diversas posturas. Por una parte, entender que la ponderación o valoración de los derechos debe darse bajo el entendido de la administración para que se dé un orden ubicaría al juez como un administrador de justicia; por otra parte, entender al juez como intérprete de la norma más allá de su tenor literal y así aplicarla en un sentido más amplio pero racional dentro de la discrecionalidad lo ubicaría como impartidor de justicia. Así las cosas, este escrito retoma el debate clásico sobre el rol del juez impartidor o administrador de justicia, abordando el problema de la interpretación del derecho y su incidencia en la aplicación y materialización de la justicia más allá del frio papel a lo largo de la historia y en el marco de un Estado Social de Derecho para la resolución de problemas jurídicos.

El presente artículo analiza a través de un estudio piloto, las características del acceso a educación superior de las Personas con Discapacidad (PcD) en el departamento del Atlántico. El análisis se realizó a partir de información levantada a través de encuestas a instituciones de educación superior (IES), y a instituciones de Educación para el Trabajo y el Desarrollo Humano (ETDH) reconocidas por el Ministerio de Educación Nacional, con quienes se indagó por las políticas institucionales para la inclusión, incentivos, y estrategias diseñadas para promover la formación a nivel superior de este grupo poblacional. Los resultados indican el liderazgo de dos IES en materia de inclusión, pero prevalece la necesidad de estrategias claras, procesos adaptados a las necesidades de esta población, e incentivos y apoyos económicos focalizados al acceso y permanencia de esta población tanto en las IES como en las instituciones de ETDH
. Propuesta pedagógica para el mejoramiento del clima organizacional

Published: May 2021

Los estudios de clima organizacional a nivel empresarial están enfocados a medir el clima dentro de la empresa y concluir la necesidad de mejorarlo en alguna de sus dimensiones por medio de estrategias de capacitaciones o talleres con los empleados. Sin embargo, estos estudios rara vez hablan sobre la metodología pedagógica a implementar y mucho menos sobre la didáctica que se debe usar para fortalecer determinada dimensión del clima. Esta investigación pretende mostrar la efectividad de una estrategia pedagógica para mejorar el trabajo en equipo al interior de una empresa de telecomu-nicaciones, basada en la forma en que aprenden los adultos y por medio del fortalecimiento de las competencias socioafectivas de los individuos.La presente investigación científica con enfoque cuantitativo nace del análisis ordenado de la herra-mienta de diagnóstico IMCOC (Instrumento de Medición del Clima Organizacional en Colombia), de la cual surgen los interrogantes a resolver: ¿qué dimensiones de las evaluadas en la encuesta IMCOC pueden ser intervenidas de manera positiva mediante la implementación de una estrategia de ense-ñanza-aprendizaje? ¿Cómo articular la estrategia seleccionada dentro de los procesos de capacitación regulares de la empresa?

Background

As single-cell sequencing technology has been gradually introduced, it is essential to characterize global collaboration networks and map development trends over the past 20 years.

Objective

The aim of this paper was to illustrate collaboration in the field of single-cell sequencing methods and explore key topics and future directions.

Methods

Bibliometric analyses were conducted with CiteSpace and VOSviewer software on publications prior to November 2019 from the Web of Science Core Collection about single-cell sequencing methods.

Results

Ultimately, we identified 2489 records, which were published in 495 journals by 14,202 authors from 1970 institutes in 61 countries. There was a noticeable increase in publications in 2014. The United States and high-income countries in Europe contributed to most of the records included. Harvard University, Stanford University, Karolinska Institutes, Peking University, and the University of Washington were the biggest nodes in every cluster of the collaboration network, and SA Teichmann, JC Marioni, A Regev, and FC Tang were the top-producing authors. Keywords co-occurrence analysis suggested applications in immunology as a developing research trend.

Conclusions

We concluded that the global collaboration network was unformed and that high-income countries contributed more to the rapidly growth of publications of single-cell sequencing technology. Furthermore, the application in immunology might be the next research hotspot and developmental direction.
