Authors: Oborin Matvey , Tsekhla Svetlana
Published: April 2019

The aim of the study is to adapt the foresight technology to the development of competitive advantages of resort and recreational clusters. The cluster approach has positively proved itself in increasing the efficiency of management of territories with resort and recreational specialization, the formation of prerequisites for the successful functioning of the infrastructure of medical and health tourism, in which the basis is the regional sanatorium and resort complexes.
The expediency of application of foresight technology as an innovative method is based on the experience of modeling of socio-economic space. The principal difference is the system of goal-setting, which is the basis of expert activities, optimization and transformation of the potential of the territories. The advantage of using foresight technology in the formation of competitive clusters of the Republic of Crimea is the possibility of building a network approach, overcoming the natural economic cycle due to the Russian experience of program-target and innovative programming.
The use of foresight technology will contribute to the accelerated pace of development of health clusters in the Republic of Crimea and will have a positive impact on the socio-economic growth of the region.

Authors: Stepanov Aleksey
Published: April 2019

The main resource of modern manufacturing, agricultural, construction, transport enterprises and also the companies connected with information technologies is their staff. The level of staff training corresponding to the current trends in technology and technologies development, directly defines the level of relevant production industry development and national economy in general.
The development of robotics and the roboti technologies in modern economy has a significant impact on change of the enterprises requirement in human resources and also on change of employers’ requirements to professional competences of staff. In the long term, labor market will impose increased requirements to staff on possession of professional competences, on interaction with robotics in a workplace, including the ability to control the equipment, to carry out monitoring of production operations observance and be able to adapt to changes in production process taking into account functionality of robotics. According to various research and polls, the modern system of staff training does not provide the study of such professional competences. In the long term, it can result in discrepancy of the young specialists’ competence that completed training in the programs of secondary professional education, and forming the offer in labor market, to those requirements which are imposed from employers. In these conditions transformation of the staff training system which will be focused, first of all, on the formation of those competences which will allow young specialists not only to use the available equipment, but to have an opportunity to master new technologies.
The paper outlines the problem of incompliance of the level of young specialists training and the current trends of robotics development on the basis of statistical data and results of the available research.

Authors: Rykova Inna , Taburov Denis
Published: April 2019

The article deals with the investment forecast for the energy sector of Russia in the long term for the period up to 2030, analyzes the dynamics and identifies cause-effect relationships. The hypothesis of growth of investment attractiveness is formed on the basis of revenue assessment of the largest companies of the fuel and energy complex of Russia. The authors describe the possibilities for the use of financial instruments for the development of the real sector of the economy. The indicators of evaluating the effectiveness of investment projects in the field of oil exploration and production are given. The potential of the world leaders in the field of oil supply to the international energy market is studied. Methods, forms and sources of financing of the real sector of economy are defined. The measures to stimulate economic growth and increase the investment attractiveness of the studied industry are recommended. The analysis of the oil and gas complex is carried out on the following economic indicators: criteria of return on capital and sales, coefficients of business activity, financial leverage, liquidity and capitalization of assets of companies operating in a single industry. This made it possible to identify inefficient producers of raw materials whose investment strategies are in dire need of adjustment and optimization of sources of financing. As a result of the study, proposals are formulated to redistribute investments into more profitable segments of the extractive industry, to combine the mechanisms of taxation of mineral extraction with the extraction of economic benefits from the expansion of the range of export duties levied on foreign trade operations.
The article traces the economically significant idea of the need to modernize infrastructure organizations, the construction of new facilities in the activities of generating industries based on the optimization of investment flows in the companies of the real sector of the economy. As a result of the research, the authors substantiate the proposals for linking the economic growth of the country with the processes of investment in oil production and exploration taking into account the elimination of imbalances in the structure of revenue and capital.

Published: April 2019

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Background: A number of medical schools around the world use the United States National Board of Medical Examiners Subject Examinations as a clerkship assessment of student performance, yet these exams were blueprinted against the United States national core clerkship curriculum which might not be the same as the local curricula to which they are applied in other parts of the world. In this study, we investigated the correlations between the internal medicine clinical experiences at United Arab Emirates University with student performance on the National Board of Medical Examiners subject of internal medicine (NBME). Methods: One hundred and seven junior clerkship students out of 145 (74%) who finished their Internal Medicine clerkship during academic years 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 participated in this study. The students' clinical experiences were measured by the clinical learning evaluation questionnaire (CLEQ) and by the logged number of meaningful patient contacts during their internal medicine clerkship. Results: Linear regression analysis showed no significant association between performance on the subject test and student clinical experiences measured by the CLEQ or the number of logged patients. NBME scores were weakly correlated with OSCEs scores (ɸ 0.20). Conclusions: The study findings raised uncertainties about the suitability of using NBME in the clerkship assessment program in the United Arab Emirates.
A case report of case report pursuit by medical student
Authors: Li Jonathan , Wilson Jennifer , Lau Wayne Bond
Published: April 2019

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Medical students often seek case reports as vehicles for academic writing opportunities, conference presentation avenues, and residency/fellowship application highlights. Here we review a case where, due to unfortunate circumstances, a student made a unique diagnosis central to proper patient clinical care, wished to write up the case subsequently, but was ultimately excluded from the final work stemming from the patient case. We review the pitfalls that occurred in the process of pursuing publication of an interesting case, the educational value of pursuing case reports for students, the necessity for strong mentorship in this process, and general principles that medical students can follow regarding case report creation to avoid being "burned".

Significance Statement

Vascular calcification contributes to high cardiovascular mortality in patients with CKD. Although research findings have suggested an association between the uremic toxins indoxyl sulfate and p-cresyl sulfate and cardiovascular disease, direct evidence has been lacking. In this study, the authors demonstrate in a rat model of CKD that continuous exposure to indoxyl sulfate or p-cresyl sulfate promotes moderate to severe calcification in the aorta and peripheral vessels. Activation of inflammation and coagulation pathways in the arterial wall plays a pivotal role in toxin-induced calcification and strongly associates with hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. These findings provide etiologic evidence for indoxyl sulfate and p-cresyl sulfate as major contributors to vascular calcification and suggest new avenues for identifying novel therapeutic targets to prevent or treat calcification in the vessel wall of patients with CKD.

Background

Protein-bound uremic toxins indoxyl sulfate (IS) and p-cresyl sulfate (PCS) have been associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with CKD. However, direct evidence for a role of these toxins in CKD-related vascular calcification has not been reported.

Methods

To study early and late vascular alterations by toxin exposure, we exposed CKD rats to vehicle, IS (150 mg/kg per day), or PCS (150 mg/kg per day) for either 4 days (short-term exposure) or 7 weeks (long-term exposure). We also performed unbiased proteomic analyses of arterial samples coupled to functional bioinformatic annotation analyses to investigate molecular signaling events associated with toxin-mediated arterial calcification.

Results

Long-term exposure to either toxin at serum levels similar to those experienced by patients with CKD significantly increased calcification in the aorta and peripheral arteries. Our analyses revealed an association between calcification events, acute-phase response signaling, and coagulation and glucometabolic signaling pathways, whereas escape from toxin-induced calcification was linked with liver X receptors and farnesoid X/liver X receptor signaling pathways. Additional metabolic linkage to these pathways revealed that IS and PCS exposure engendered a prodiabetic state evidenced by elevated resting glucose and reduced GLUT1 expression. Short-term exposure to IS and PCS (before calcification had been established) showed activation of inflammation and coagulation signaling pathways in the aorta, demonstrating that these signaling pathways are causally implicated in toxin-induced arterial calcification.

Conclusions

In CKD, both IS and PCS directly promote vascular calcification via activation of inflammation and coagulation pathways and were strongly associated with impaired glucose homeostasis.

Authors: Dalpiaz Jaqueline , Riva Pagnussat Lidiane , Hahn Siomara Regina
Published: April 2019

Justificativa e objetivos: O envelhecimento populacional aumenta os riscos de fraturas de quadril e de complicações pós-operatórias advindas de cirurgias, podendo causar morbidade e a reinternação desses pacientes. Recomendações visam orientar os profissionais em relação aos cuidados necessários para que as infecções de sítios cirúrgicos (ISC) possam ser evitadas ou minimizadas. Desse modo o estudo teve por objetivo descrever o perfil epidemiológico e clínico de idosos hospitalizados para artroplastia de quadril e verificar a adesão aos protocolos de antibioticoprofilaxia em cirurgias de quadril. Métodos: Estudo transversal retrospectivo, realizado em um hospital de ensino. Foram coletados dados secundários dos prontuários de idosos submetidos a cirurgia de quadril durante o ano de 2016. Resultados: Foram verificadas 203 artroplastias de quadril em idosos, 57,6% eram mulheres, média de idade de 73,2±8,1 anos. Artroplastia total coxo-femoral foi realizada em 32% dos pacientes, a média de internação foi de 8±8,7 dias e 94,1% tiveram alta hospitalar. A cefazolina 1g 6/6h foi o antibiótico mais utilizado em 73,4%, em média utilizou-se o ATB por 65,52 hrs. A taxa de ISC foi de 0,99% e a adesão a posologia, dose e duração dos antibióticos conforme os protocolos institucionais ocorreram em 16,2%, 13,7% e 8,6%, respectivamente. Conclusão: A taxa de infecção pós-operatória relacionada a cirurgias de prótese de quadril foi baixa, apesar de ter ocorrido inadequada adesão aos protocolos de antibióticoprofilaxia cirúrgica. Entretanto, deve-se considerar que não foi avaliada a dose de antibiótico administrada antes do início da cirurgia, devido à ausência de informação no prontuário.

Published: April 2019

INTRODUÇÃO: Este artigo relata uma experiência de estágio supervisionado desenvolvido no âmbito da graduação em Psicologia em uma universidade pública do interior da Bahia. OBJETIVOS: Esta experiência objetivou que os estagiários vivenciassem a complexidade da Atenção Psicossocial a partir de uma imersão real e efetiva na Atenção Primária à Saúde. MÉTODO: Os estagiários viviam durante um semestre a lógica de uma atuação interprofissional, compondo projetos de intervenção para atuar em Unidades de Saúde da Família, mas também fazendo interface com outros níveis de densidade tecnológica do Sistema Único de Saúde e com outras políticas setoriais, tais como a Assistência Social e a Educação. RESULTADOS E DISCUSSÃO: Este estágio, vivido principalmente através de atividades em grupo, atividades de sala de espera, atendimentos individuais, visitas domiciliares e interconsultas, convocou os discentes a lidarem com situações bastante desafiadoras para a  Psicologia: compreender os determinantes sociais envolvidos nos processos de saúde-doença; a necessidade do trabalho multi/interprofissional efetivo, a articulação com a Rede de Atenção à Saúde/Psicossocial, entre outros aspectos. CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS: A inserção da Psicologia na Atenção Primária à Saúde deve se pautar na capacidade de ler o contexto das necessidades sociais e de saúde da população para pensar o tipo de cuidado que esta necessita. Faz-se necessário que a Psicologia e seus profissionais ultrapassem as barreiras de uma identidade profissional arraigada no saber biomédico e encontre uma prática e um comprometimento ético-político que cuide do usuário de forma integral e humanizada.
Fairness and Ethics in Multiple Choice (MC) Scoring: An Empirical Study
Authors: Ypsilandis George S. , Mouti Anna
Published: April 2019

One among the main concerns of language testers in the design and implementation of tests is selecting the method of scoring for the tool used to perform the evaluation. This attribute indirectly reveals the tester’s ethical beliefs and personal stance on testing pedagogy. This is another study challenging the typical 1-0 method of scoring in Multiple Choice Tests (MCT) and implements, for experimental purposes, a simple polychotomous partial-credit scoring system on official tests administered for the National Foreign Language Exam System in Greece (NFLES-Gr). The study comes in support of earlier findings on the subject by the same authors in analogous smaller-scale studies. The MCT items chosen were completed by a total of 1,922 subjects in different levels of the NFLES-Gr test for Italian as an L2 in Greece. Results clearly indicate that the tested scoring procedure provides refined insights into students’ interlanguage levels, enhances sensitivity in scoring procedures, and may provide significant differences for testees found to be close to the pass/non-pass borderline without jeopardizing test reliability.

The association of chronic toxoplasmosis with mental disorders in general and with schizophrenia in particular was noticed in the mid-1950s. In subsequent years, the role of Toxoplasma gondii was established based on its ability to survive for long periods of time in the nerve cells of the brain. As a consequence, acute manifestations of the infection lead to psychopathic symptoms similar to schizophrenia and hallucinations. In the former USSR, and in other parts of the world, a number of studies were performed with respect to the association of latent toxoplasmosis and schizophrenia. However, with the dissolution of the USSR at the beginning of the 1990s, studies on the subject were halted due to financial problems and have resumed only recently. The reasons for the resumption of such studies in contemporary Russia are related to the progressively increasing incidence of schizophrenia over the last 25-30 years in the country. According to official data, approximately 550 000 persons reported suffering from the disease in 2014. There are reasons to believe that this is only a fraction of the real burden of the disease. Economically, it cost the state no less than approximately US $10 billion. The purpose of the study was to identify the level of toxoplasmosis seroprevalence in patients with verified diagnoses of schizophrenia in comparison to healthy people in Moscow City and in the Moscow region. A total of 155 persons constituted the experimental group and 152 healthy people were in the control group. An integrated approach to the diagnosis and comparison of data from the entire spectrum of serological markers of infection was used, including the detection of specific IgM and the determination of IgG concentrations and the IgG avidity index. It was found that among persons with neuropsychiatric disorders, the incidence of cases with chronic toxoplasmosis was higher than in the control group. The effect of toxoplasmosis was significant and similar for men and women. Further statistical analyses revealed that among patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, the incidence of chronic toxoplasmosis was significantly higher than in the control group. These data are in agreement with the results of similar studies in other countries.

The study is based on the reconstruction of the historic appearance of the Kiev group of islands of the Dnieper on the basis of the use of archival and modern aerospace materials. The purpose of the study is the justification for the introduction of the protection regime for the Kiev group of islands of the Dnieper that are under greater human impact. To preserve landscapes the Velykyy Pivnichnyy Island, an ecological pathway is proposed and the landscape map scheme of the Velykyy Pivnichnyy Island is developed on the basis of the application of geoinformation technologies (GIS) and Earth Remote Sensing (RS) techniques.
Mapping the historical reconstruction of the old Dnipro’s riverbed allowed displaying the historical look of the Dnipro River to the formation of a reservoir. During the study, the significant changes in the area of the Kiev archipelago’s islands in the period from 1942 to 2017 were installed. Determined that the islands began to decrease as a result of anthropogenic changes (alluvial sand), which negatively affected the state of their biotopes. The work is devoted to the analysis of area changes in the Kiev group of islands of the Dnieper (16 largest islands) and environs for 75 years and to the detailed study of the landscape structure of the Velykyy Pivnichnyy Island and its island – the satellite Ptashynyy that emerged recently and continues to intensively form.
A detailed cartographic scheme for the landscapes of the Velykyy Pivnichnyy Island is created and a new ecological pathway is developed.

Published: April 2019

Background: Congenital heart disease is one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity in the paediatric population of both the developing and developed countries. Variability in incidence and prevalence of CHD from various countries of Indian subcontinent and rest of the world could be because of genetic, cultural, and environmental factors.  The objective of the study was to find the prevalence and pattern of CHD in a tertiary care hospital in Kashmir (Jammu and Kashmir).Methods: All children admitted at territary care hospital with age 0-15 years were screened for congenital heart disease. The study was conducted for period of one year to ascertain the prevalence and spectrum of CHDs.Results: A total of 232 patients out of 23000, were found having CHDs measuring a prevalence of 10.5/1000. About 170 (73%) were the acyanotics, and 62 (27%) were cyanotic heart patients. Among the acyanotic heart diseases ventricular septal defect was the most frequent lesion seen in 54 (23%), followed by patent ductus arteriosus in 50 (22%) children. Among the cyanotic heart diseases tetralogy of Fallot was the most frequent cyanotic heart disease seen in 15 (6.4%) patients.Conclusions: Authors observed high prevalence of CHD in our population. The pattern and spectrum of CHD were comparable to national and international data.

Authors: J. Vinodh Kumar , M. Vatsala
Published: April 2019

Background: The study was aimed to screen cognitive impairment and assess its levels among epilepsy patients, also study the prevalence and the relationships between specific seizure subtype and determine the correlation between seizure frequency, seizure duration and abnormal EEG finding with cognitive impairment among epilepsy patients.Methods: The study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital over a period of 1yr after taking informed consent from 100 patients by random sampling after fulfilling the inclusion criteria.Results: Out of 100 patients 64% did not have cognitive impairment, 36% had cognitive impairment. Among 36%, 7% had definitive cognitive impairment and 29% had mild cognitive impairment. It was observed that the other group of seizure subtypes which included atonic, myoclonic, focal sensory, focal motor, absence seizure with secondary generalization had low mean cognitive scores signifying cognitive impairment, where as those with complex partial seizure with secondary generalization group had high mean cognitive scores signifying no cognitive dysfunction. However, the observed difference is statistically significant (p<0.05). Patients who had higher seizure frequency had low mean cognitive scores indicating cognitive decline and those with very low seizure frequency had high mean cognitive scores indicating no cognitive decline. However, the observed difference is statistically significant. It was observed that the mean cognitive score for abnormal EEG patients was 24.68 indicating mild cognitive decline whereas for normal EEG patients the mean cognitive score was 26.27 indicating no cognitive decline however the observed difference is statistically significant since P<0.05.Conclusions: The high prevalence of cognitive impairment among epilepsy patients calls for early neuropsychological assessment soon after the diagnosis of epilepsy beyond that, the baseline screening may also guide treatment plan and serve as an early indicator for rehabilitative care.

Authors: Brahmbhatt Krutarth R. , Lodhiya Kaushik K.
Published: April 2019

Background: Hand hygiene is now regarded as one of the most important element of infection control activities. Medical students in their clinical training phase throng the healthcare facilities and can potentially transmit infections besides being the healthcare providers of future when their pattern of training will reflect on their infection control practices. Therefore, this study was carried out to assess the knowledge of undergraduate medical students regarding hand hygiene practices.Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out and data was collected by using “WHO hand hygiene knowledge questionnaire for health care workers” among 2nd M.B.B.S medical students at Junagadh. Knowledge was graded as good, moderate or poor based on the total number of correct answers.Results: Total 123 students participated in the study. There were 65 (53%) females and 58 (47%) were males. The mean hand hygiene knowledge score (out of 25) was 15.05 (SD: ±2.37, 95% CI: 14.63-15.48). Majority of the participants (76%) had moderate knowledge of hand hygiene practices.Conclusions: In the present study majority of the students had not received formal training regarding hand hygiene practices. Majority of the students had moderate knowledge of hand hygiene. Incorporation of teaching and training of hand hygiene practice in the undergraduate teaching during the initial study years is the need of the hour to prevent further emergence of antimicrobial resistance and health care associated infections.

Authors: Панягина Ася Евгеньевна
Published: April 2019

В статье предложено классифицировать методы и инструменты региональной инвестиционной политики по стадиям инвестиционной деятельности, с разделением на общие и селективные, что дает возможность формирования структурированных пакетов инструментов. Показана связь между типом региона по характеру инвестиционной активности и наиболее актуальной для него группой методов. Выработан механизм реализации инвестиционных приоритетов региона, основанный на дифференцированном применении инструментария для разных групп целевых инвесторов и отраслей, составляющих инвестиционный портфель региона. Даны примеры структурированных пакетов инструментов для отраслей инвестиционного портфеля Владимирской области. Предложенный подход может быть использован при разработке региональной инвестиционной политики.
Роль межотраслевой кооперации при внедрении технологий индустрии 4.0 в нефтегазовых компаниях
Authors: Качалкина Кристина Геннадиевна
Published: April 2019

В условиях трансформации экономики и перехода в цифровую эру перед нефтегазовой отраслью встает потребность в быстрой адаптации к изменениям. Одним из элементов такой адаптации является успешное внедрение в управление и производство интеллектуальных технологий. В то же время отмечается значительный разрыв между уровнем освоения цифровых технологий нефтегазовой отраслью в России и за рубежом. Проведенный в статье анализ позволил выявить, что одной из причин отставания и недостаточной адаптации к индустрии 4.0 является отсутствие межотраслевой кооперации российских нефтегазовых предприятий с предприятиями других, прежде всего интеллектуальных, отраслей. Активизация межотраслевой кооперации усложняется отсутствием проработанных инструментов управления, и в статье предлагается ряд рекомендаций для формирования управленческих инструментов.
Робастное проектирование процессов экологически чистого производства продукции в режиме с обострением неопределенности
Authors: Константинова Елена Викторовна
Published: April 2019

В работе представлено, что робастное управление формирует возможность использования проектирования процессов производства, которое способно к минимизации внешнего воздействия на продуктивность среды. В целом в работе показано, что робастное управление может выступать как прогнозный параметр. Для целей обострения неопределённости в работе использован подход с производством продукции в сельском хозяйстве.
В работе показано, что каждый из продуктов сельского хозяйства потенциально может дать выход продукции, которая будет востребована в силу своих потребительских свойств. Также основой для формирования потребительской ценности является энергетическое наполнение. В работе авторы определяют, что робастное управление направлено на корректировку режима неопределенности условий, которые обеспечивают производство продукции сельского хозяйства. На примере корреляции и урожайности показано, что робастное управление позволяет в полной мере реализовать формирование экологически чистого производства.
Направлением дальнейших исследований является приведенный в работе экономический расчет, который возможно представить как набор инструкций, который будет формировать уже социально-экономическую выгоду от предложенных мероприятий
Основные правила и этапы создания промышленной рекламы
Authors: Шкляр Татьяна Львовна
Published: April 2019

Стремительно меняющееся настоящее диктует свои законы, все больше трансформируя коммуникационные процессы между организациями и индивидуумами. Многие рекламные инструменты, хорошо зарекомендовавшие себя ранее, не применимы в настоящее время. Конкурентная среда, под влиянием цифровизации и глобализации, диктует новые требования в различных областях, в том числе и для промышленной рекламы.
Сегодняшний покупатель все реже обращает внимание на печатную, аудио- и видеорекламу, занимаясь поиском необходимой информации в интернет пространстве. Соответственно, и рекламные компании необходимо перестраивать, учитывая современные требования и тенденции.
Для создания рекламы, направленной на конечного потребителя, существует масса примеров и инструкций. Однако в области B2B можно отметить нехватку данной информации. Автор данной статьи предлагает определить основные этапы и правила создания промышленной рекламы, что позволит создать оптимальную коммуникацию для организаций, работающих в производственной сфере. Данный алгоритм обеспечит маркетологам возможность сокращения времени и усилий на создание эффективной рекламы.

О критериях качества торгового обслуживания населения в современной России и мотивации их достижения
Authors: Литвинюк Александр Александрович
Published: April 2019

В настоящее время в Российской экономике государство практически перестало регулировать социально-экономические процессы, происходящие в розничной торговле. Как результат, при избыточности торговой сети, наблюдается постоянное снижение качества торгового обслуживания населения и рост издержек потребления. В этой связи в работе предложена достаточно простая методика определения уровня качества торгового обслуживания населения в розничной торговле, позволяющая проводить мониторинг социальной эффективности торговой деятельности. Методика основана на оптимизации трансакционных затрат населения на совершение покупки в местах продажи товаров народного потребления. В статье также даны и рекомендации по мотивации государственных служащих, занимающихся регулированием торговли, к достижению оптимальных показателей обеспеченности населения России площадью торговых объектов и повышению удовлетворённости покупателей качеством их обслуживания.
