Komplementarność czy konflikt pomiędzy kwestią finansową a potencjałem ludzkim?
Authors: Piszczygłowa Bernadeta
Published: January 2023

Kapitał ludzki stanowi najważniejszy zasób przedsiębiorstwa. Tak jest również w podmiotach leczniczych. To dzięki zatrudnianemu specjalistycznemu personelowi medycznemu podmioty lecznicze realizują kontrakty zawarte na udzielanie świadczeń zdrowotnych. Z zatrudnieniem nierozerwalnie wiążą się wynagrodzenia, które stanowią jedno z głównych źródeł kosztów w podmiotach leczniczych. Przy czym zasady wynagradzania obowiązujące w poszczególnych podmiotach leczniczych mogą mieć wpływ na zainteresowanie podjęciem zatrudnienia przez specjalistyczne kadry medyczne w tych podmiotach, co może powodować możliwość zawarcia wyższego kontraktu, a w konsekwencji wyższe przychody z tytułu realizacji świadczeń medycznych.

La Teoría del reconocimiento de Honneth: propuestas desde el Trabajo social comunitario
Authors: Cuenca Silvestre Mercedes
Published: January 2023

Community social work, since its beginnings, has developed in morally heterogeneous societies where different communities share public spaces and services, as well as places of employment, education, health and leisure. The diversity of value conceptions and identities present in specific territories is at the heart of many of the conflicts that we find in this field of intervention.
The article provides a brief conceptual approach to community social work, highlighting the need for concepts that take into account the reality in which we intervene, since the expectations, preferences and difficulties faced by the people who currently live in the neighbourhoods where we work, are not the same as those of the original inhabitants. The notion of community is a controversial issue that is also pointed out.
Next, and on the basis that theoretical work is a requirement that enables greater levels of understanding and greater effectiveness in intervention, the article consists of a theoretical reflection based on the theory of recognition elaborated by Axel Honneth. The article ends by making a contribution to the urgent reflection that the profession needs, which results in a series of guidelines that update and deepen the practical development of community social work, taking into account the particularities of the contexts where they will be applied.

El Trabajo social comunitario, desde sus inicios, se desarrolla en sociedades moralmente heterogéneas donde distintas comunidades comparten espacios públicos y servicios, así como lugares de empleo, educación, salud y ocio. La diversidad de concepciones valorativas e identidades presentes en territorios concretos está en el centro de muchos de  los conflictos que encontramos en dicho  ámbito  de  intervención.
El artículo brinda una breve aproximación conceptual al Trabajo social comunitario, destacando la necesidad de contar con conceptos que den cuenta de la realidad en la que se interviene, ya que las expectativas, preferencias y dificultades que afrontan las personas que habitan actualmente los barrios donde se implementan los proyectos, no son las mismas que las de los/as habitantes originarios/as. Se señala también una cuestión controvertida como es la noción de comunidad. A continuación, y partiendo de que el trabajo teórico es una exigencia que posibilita mayores niveles de comprensión y mayor eficacia en la intervención, el artículo consiste en una reflexión teórica a partir de la Teoría del reconocimiento elaborada por Axel Honneth. Se finaliza haciendo una contribución a la urgente reflexión que necesita la profesión, la cual da como resultado una serie de orientaciones que actualizan y profundizan el desarrollo práctico del Trabajo social comunitario, atendiendo a las particularidades de los contextos donde se van a aplicar.
Mujer y ambientes flamencos en Huelva: de los cafés cantantes a la Peña Flamenca Femenina
Authors: Arredondo Pérez Herminia , García Gallardo Francisco José
Published: January 2023

In this article we present a vision of women in the flamenco scene in Huelva, stopping in several moments, contexts and scenarios of the city. Since the late nineteenth, time of expansion and commercialization of flamenco, the cafés cantantes and other shows, we locate their participation in the professional field in the role of dancers and singers. Until well into the twentieth century, in the flamenco entertainment and male gathering, the presence of women remains relegated and discredited, while in family and festive environments, such as the Pilgrimage of El Rocío, female experiences have been rich and daily, mainly around the interpretation of fandangos. In this context, thanks to the wide radio broadcasting, competitions and recordings, two female singers from Huelva reached a great projection starting in the sixties: Perlita de Huelva and la Niña de Huelva. However, women continue to be separated from the hermetic flamenco circles, reserved for men. Excluded from the peñas, they initiated a significant collective action in the eighties, the original creation of a Peña Flamenca Femenina, with which they opened a new real and symbolic space for women in society, an exceptional achievement in the flamenco world.

En este artículo presentamos una visión de la mujer en el panorama flamenco de Huelva, deteniéndonos en varios momentos, contextos y escenarios de la ciudad. Desde finales del XIX, época de expansión y comercialización del flamenco, de los cafés cantantes y otros espectáculos, localizamos su participación en el ámbito profesional en el papel de artistas bailaoras y cantaoras. Hasta bien entrado el siglo XX, en los escenarios flamencos de entretenimiento y reunión masculina, la presencia de las mujeres permanece relegada y desacreditada, mientras que en ambientes familiares y festivos, como la Romería del Rocío, las vivencias femeninas han sido ricas y cotidianas, principalmente en torno a la interpretación de fandangos. En este contexto, gracias a la amplia difusión de la radio, concursos y grabaciones, dos cantaoras onubenses llegaron a alcanzar una gran proyección a partir de los sesenta: Perlita de Huelva y la Niña de Huelva. Sin embargo, las mujeres continuaron apartadas de los herméticos círculos flamencos, reservados para el hombre. Excluidas de las peñas, inician en los ochenta una significativa acción colectiva, la original creación de una Peña Flamenca Femenina, con la que abrieron un nuevo espacio real y simbólico a la mujer en la sociedad, logro excepcional en el mundo flamenco.
Las representaciones de las amenazas a la biodiversidad en el cine de animación: implicaciones para su enseñanza en la Educación Primaria
Authors: Fernández-Díaz Manuel , Sánchez-Giner María Victoria
Published: January 2023

La crisis de biodiversidad por la que atraviesa el planeta forma parte de la crisis global social, económica y ambiental en la que estamos inmersos. La pérdida de biodiversidad tiene efectos no solo sobre las especies, también sobre los ecosistemas y los servicios ecosistémicos de los que dependemos. Por ello es necesario adoptar medidas para detener esta grave pérdida. La educación puede ser una vía complementaria a la gestión y la conservación, pero se requieren estrategias innovadoras para incorporar ciertos contenidos socioambientales al aula. El cine animado puede llevar contenidos y valores proambientales a la escuela. Para determinar si este tipo de cine puede mostrar las graves amenazas que pesan sobre la biodiversidad se plantea la presente investigación. Por ello se realiza una selección de películas de animación y mediante un análisis de contenido se obtienen resultados que indican que, en la muestra analizada se encuentran representados, aunque con distintas frecuencias, todos los grandes problemas que tiene la biodiversidad. Esto nos invita a pensar que el uso de este tipo de cine, previa selección adecuada, puede introducir estos importantes conceptos en el aula y contribuir a la adquisición de contenidos y valores proambientales.

Arab theatre and plays: developmental stages and challenges
Authors: Abdel Ghafar Bazheir Nargis
Published: January 2023

Arab stage plays took their time in the development and making their place in the world throughout the ancient times. The article shines a light on the phases and struggles Arab theatre went through in making such majestic art and performances that are a source of entertainment for people from all over the world. Mainly the struggles were because of religious issues that initiated many other issues like the censorship and not having enough popularity in the Arab states that put up a limit to the theatre establishments forcing the artists to make journeys in order to seek their audience as many things did not sit well in the mindsets of the religious Arabs. However, later on, the theatre started stretching its roots in the hearts of the audience. Performances like Shadow Puppetry and Passion plays took over many viewers and became an important part of the Arab culture. One of the most important eras in the history of Arabic drama development was that of the Egyptian era, which holds a reputation to this time and tells a lot of religious and historic stories through its innovative art play. The article also highlights the great contribution of Ibn Danyal Al-Khuzai to the plays through his three phenomenal theatre scripts that were enacted upon by many diverse cultures and ethnicities, furthermore, the influence Western drama culture made in Arab states and its impact that came with series of events.
Aprendiendo a través de las artes plásticas y visuales: escuchando las voces de niños y niñas de 4 a 6 años.
Authors: Cabrera-Murcia Piedad , Gonzalez Velastín Nataly
Published: January 2023

Este estudio tiene como propósito describir los aprendizajes artísticos reportados por niños y niñas entre 4 y 6 años, pertenecientes a dos comunas, ubicadas en la Región Metropolitana en Chile. Para ello, se han analizado los relatos visuales y orales de párvulos que participaron de experiencias estéticas y artísticas ocurridas en pandemia. La investigación realizada es cualitativa, siguiendo un diseño de estudio de caso, y la recogida de datos se llevó a cabo a partir de entrevistas semiestructuradas y la observación participante. Los resultados muestran cómo las concepciones estéticas de los párvulos se aproximan al mimetismo, el carácter procesual domina el reconocimiento de los aprendizajes adquiridos, y la conexión con el proceso y la producción artística responde a experiencias visuales previas, vividas e imaginadas. Finalmente, se revela cómo los párvulos se vuelven protagonistas de sus aprendizajes en la medida que transforman activamente la provocación estética.
The challenges for private competition law enforcement concerning anticompetitive conducts in digital markets
Authors:   Université Nice Côte d’Azur, Mouton Jeanne
Published: January 2023

The paper reviews literature on theories of harm in digital markets, and the specific difficulties in quantifying the damage in private enforcement of competition law. The development of a tentative case-law on private enforcement in digital markets in the European Union is studied next, in comparison to the US antitrust practice, differentiating between businesses or consumers filing damages claims. Finally, the paper raises the specific issues posed by the digital economy for competition law claims for damages, and explores the idea of extending the presumption of harm also to abuse of dominance in digital markets, as well as making private parties aware of cease and desist injunctions or filing for private enforcement remedies.
Why do Competition Authorities need Artificial Intelligence?
Authors:   University of Luxembourg, Lorenzoni Isabella
Published: January 2023

Recent technological developments are transforming the way antitrust is enforced as well as the way market players are infringing competition law. As a result, enforcers are starting to equip themselves with sophisticated digital investigation tools. This paper explores this interest in building an Artificial Intelligence (AI) arsenal for the fight against algorithmic infringements. What are the key factors motivating regulators to develop their own technological tools to enforce competition law? Building on interviews with a number of competition authorities, this paper finds that changes in digital markets, the need for enforcers to reverseengineer companies’ algorithms in order to better understand their implications for competition law, the need to enhance efficiency and keep pace with the fast evolution of the digital economy, and, finally, the decrease in leniency applications, are all reasons for which competition authorities should strive for more innovative and alternative means to boost their ex officio investigations.

Regulacje prawne sekwestracji dwutlenku węgla jako bariera do dekarbonizacji krajowej gospodarki gazowej
Authors:   Szkoła Doktorska Nauk Społecznych Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego, Mikusek Piotr
Published: January 2023

Technologia sekwestracji dwutlenku węgla (carbon capture and storage, CCS) może stanowić jeden z mechanizmów wspierających dekarbonizację krajowego przemysłu, zwłaszcza energochłonnego. W tym celu jednak niezbędne jest odpowiednie ukształtowanie krajobrazu regulacyjnego stosowania tej technologii w zakresie transportu i składowania wychwyconego dwutlenku węgla. Kształt krajobrazu regulacyjnego w tym zakresie kształtowany jest zarówno na poziomie unijnym (głównie przez dyrektywę 2009/31/WE w sprawie geologicznego składowania dwutlenku węgla oraz dyrektywę 2003/87/WE ustanawiającą system handlu przydziałami emisji gazów cieplarnianych we Wspólnocie), jak i prawodawstwo krajowe (zwłaszcza ustawę – Prawo energetyczne oraz ustawę – Prawo geologiczne i górnicze). Celem niniejszego artykułu jest wskazanie głównych barier regulacyjnych negatywnie wpływających na potencjał rozwoju technologii CCS w Polsce oraz potencjalnych obszarów wymagających interwencji prawodawcy w celu odblokowania realizacji inwestycji w sekwestrację dwutlenku węgla. Wydaje się bowiem, że obecnie istnieje przestrzeń do postulowania zmian na poziomie unijnym, a także wdrażania usprawnień w prawodawstwie krajowym, ze względu na zachodzące procesy transformacyjne legislacji mające na celu osiągnięcie neutralności klimatycznej Europy.
Jak osiągać cele w zakresie redukcji emisji, zapewniając jednocześnie równe warunki konkurencji?
Authors:   Wydział Zarządzania Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego, Dziubak Piotr P. ,   Ministerstwo Infrastruktury
Published: January 2023

Artykuł nawiązuje do Europejskiego Zielonego Ładu (European Green Deal), inicjatywy Komisji Europejskiej, której celem jest uczynienie Europy pierwszy kontynentem neutralnym dla klimatu do 2050 roku. Atykuł przedstawia rolę transformacji energetycznej lotnictwa w przyczynieniu się do realizacji tej inicjatywy, w szczególności poprzez ocenę projektu rozporządzenia Parlamentu Europejskiego i Rady w sprawie zapewnienia równych warunków działania dla zrównoważonego transportu lotniczego oraz innych elementów pakietu „Gotowi na 55”, które mają bezpośredni lub pośredni wpływ na ten sektor gospodarki. Projektowane regulacje dotyczące dekarbonizacji lotnictwa wprowadzają napięcia wewnątrz sektora zarówno w Unii Europejskiej, jak i na styku z innymi rynkami geografi cznymi oraz innymi sektorami. Wnioskami płynącymi z przeprowadzonych obserwacji jest konieczność zaangażowania organów ochrony konkurencji w ten nowy proces transformacji oraz uwzględnienie zachodzących zmian w reformie systemu ochrony konkurencji w UE. Z kolei przedsiębiorcy transportowi, zarówno zarządcy infrastruktury, przewoźnicy, jak i dostawcy paliw, muszą podejmować decyzje w zmieniającym się otoczeniu, dążąc do transformacji energetycznej sektora oraz wykorzystując pojawiające się możliwości współpracy, uzyskania wsparcia i pomocy publicznej.

Niniejszy artykuł adresuje zjawisko znacznego wzrostu przypadków, w których przedsiębiorstwa energetyczne dokonują odmowy przyłączenia nowych źródeł energii odnawialnej, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem rynku energii elektrycznej. Autor artykułu stoi na stanowisku, że przyczyna zaistniałego stanu rzeczy leży w regulacjach prawnych, które swoim aktualnym kształtem przyczyniają się do pogłębienia różnic pomiędzy podmiotami wnioskującymi o przyłączenie a podmiotami dokonującymi przyłączenia w zakresie przysługujących im praw i obowiązków w ramach procedury przyłączeniowej.

Ugoda w sprawie odwołania do Sądu Ochrony Konkurencji i Konsumentów – zagadnienia wybrane Spis
Authors: Wasilewski Rafał R.
Published: January 2023

Od ponad dwóch lat w prawie polskim obowiązuje szczególny instrument prawny – ugoda w sprawie odwołania do SOKiK, jednak dotychczas zawarto zaledwie jedną taką ugodę. Chociaż nie jest to ugoda w tradycyjnym ujęciu, należy uznać ją jako nową formę ugodowego (negocjacyjnego) stosowania prawa antymonopolowego i prawa ochrony konsumentów. Przedmiotem owej ugody są losy odwołania strony od decyzji Prezesa UOKiK, a jej warunki pozwalają na urozmaicone sposoby nie tylko zakończenia postępowania odwoławczego, lecz także ostatecznego zakończenia sprawy antymonopolowej. Samo zawarcie ugody nie jest wystarczające (ugoda musi podlegać zatwierdzeniu przez SOKiK). Przy ocenie ugody sąd musi uwzględnić określone przepisami kryteria, które mogą powodować konieczność odmowy zatwierdzenia ugody. Dlatego problematyczne jest, w jakim zakresie SOKiK powinien wykazać się poszanowaniem woli stron co do zawarcia ugody (w szczególności woli organu antymonopolowego w zakresie sprawowania polityki konkurencji i konsumenckiej), a na ile ugodę konfrontować z ochroną interesu publicznego i oddziaływaniem na sytuację prawną osób trzecich.

Business collapse is a common event in economies, small and big alike. A firm’s health is crucial to its stakeholders like creditors, investors, partners, etc. and prediction of the upcoming financial crisis is significantly important to devise appropriate strategies to avoid business collapses. Bankruptcy prediction has been regarded as a critical topic in the world of accounting and finance. Methodologies and strategies have been investigated in the research domain for predicting company bankruptcy more promptly and accurately. Conventionally, predicting the financial risk and bankruptcy has been solely achieved using the historic financial data. CEOs also communicate verbally via press releases and voice characteristics, such as emotion and tone may reflect a company’s success, according to anecdotal evidence. Companies’ publicly available earning calls data is one of the main sources of information to understand how businesses are doing and what are expectations for the next quarters. An earnings call is a conference call between the management of a company and the media. During the call, management offers an overview of recent performance and provides a guide for the next quarter’s expectations. The earning calls summary provided by the management can extract CEO’s emotions using sentiment analysis. This article investigates the prediction of firms’ health in terms of bankruptcy and non-bankruptcy based on emotions extracted from earning calls and proposes a deep learning model in this regard. Features extracted from long short-term memory (LSTM) network are used to train machine learning models. Results show that the models provide results with a high score of 0.93, each for accuracy and F1 when trained on LSTM extracted feature from synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) balanced data. LSTM features provide better performance than traditional bag of words and TF-IDF features.

Objective

The effect of fetal oval foramen restriction and premature contraction of the arterial catheter for the right heart function of fetuses and infants was studied by evaluating the right and left ventricular (RV/LV) ratios, the tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) value, and the Tei index of right heart function parameters.

Methods

This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University (K20190116). We collected 257 fetuses between March 2020 and December 2021. Among these, 98 fetuses that did not have any heart abnormalities were assigned to group A, 91 fetuses with restriction of the left and right atrial channels were assigned to group B, and 68 fetuses with premature contraction of the arterial catheter were assigned to group C. The ventricular transverse diameter, the right heart TAPSE value and the Tei index of fetuses in late pregnancy and 90 days after birth were measured in the three groups, and the diagnostic value of each index for the right heart function injury was evaluated. P < 0.05 indicates significant.

Results

The P-value of the TAPSE value and Tei index of infants in BC and AC groups and postnatal infants were less than 0.05, which was significant. In the BC group, the RV/LV ratio of fetuses was compared when P > 0.05, which was not significant; however, P < 0.05 after birth was considered significant. For fetuses and postnatal infants in the BC group, the RV/LV ratio was negatively associated with the TAPSE value. However, it was positively associated with the Tei index; Diagnostic test results. To predict impaired right heart function after birth, TAPSE had low diagnostic value, RV/LV and Tei index had high diagnostic value.

Conclusions

Oval foramen restriction and premature contraction of the arterial catheter may affect the right heart function after birth and be related to the degree of the right heart enlargement. Although TAPSE prediction of the fetal and postnatal right heart function is limited, the RV/LV ratio and the Tei index can be used to predict impaired right heart function after birth.

Las estrategias de marketing centradas en la relación con el consumidor ha sido una herramienta fundamental a la hora de lograr objetivos como la fidelización y retención de clientes. En este sentido, los programas de lealtad han demostrado ser un poderoso medio para lograr dichos objetivos. En este contexto, la presente investigación tiene como fin mostrar una metodología de análisis y entendimiento de la evaluación de este tipo de estrategias, para así contribuir al buen manejo de estas. Se utilizaron los datos transaccionales de un programa de lealtad de un conocido banco chileno para desarrollar dos problemas; de participación en el programa y elección de premios, en donde se utilizó un modelo logit basado en preferencias reveladas. Por otro lado, se aplicó una encuesta de preferencias declaradas y fue calibrado un modelo logit simple. El desarrollo se inicia con el problema de participación que habla de la identificación de los clientes que participan en el programa. Luego se verificó el efecto que tienen los premios indirectos en la motivación de los clientes por los programas de lealtad a través de preferencias declaradas.

Published: January 2023

Introduction: Surgical techniques in open appendicectomy has been evolving with most centers following simple ligation of appendix stump as the most preferred approach including the laparoscopic approach. Invagination of stump of the appendix is also practiced as a traditional approach. Aim: To compare and evaluate the outcomes and postoperative morbidity of simple ligation and invagination appendicectomy techniques. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective observational study conducted from October 2016 to July 2018 and included a total of 100 patients of acute appendicitis undergoing emergency open appendectomy surgery. The method of surgery of simple ligation and invagination appendectomy was allotted alternatively with 50 patients in each category. Both techniques of surgery were compared in terms of operating time, duration of hospital stay and postsurgical complications. Relevant data was collected and entered in Microsoft excel and p-value was calculated using Chi-square test. Results: A total of 100 patients were included with a mean age of 27 years. Both the groups with 50 patients each, were equivalent with age and gender distribution. It was observed that both the techniques had similar outcomes in respect to mean duration of surgery, duration of hospital stay and morbidities (p-value>0.05) with no statistically significant difference. The morbidity and the rate of postoperative complications were similar in both the groups. Conclusion: Appendicular stump management after appendectomy can be treated either by simple ligation or by invagination method, both techniques being equally effective and safe. Hence, it is surgeons preference to choose among the two techniques.

Introduction: Fixed-dose combination containing triple antihypertensive agents (Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitor (ACE-I)/Angiotensin Receptor Blocker (ARB), diuretic and Calcium Channel Blocker (CCB)) is recommended to achieve target Blood-Pressure (BP). However, none of the study has compared ACE-I based and ARB-based triple fixed dose combinations. Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of fixed-dose combination of Perindopril (Per)/Amlodipine (Aml)/Indapamide (Ind) and Telmisartan (Tel)/Aml/Chlorthalidone (Chl) in grade-2 hypertensive patients at high Cardiovascular (CV) risk. Materials and Methods: This retrospective, observational, single-centre study enrolled treatment-naïve grade-2 hypertensive patients who were at high CV risk and were treated with ACE-I based (Per/Aml/Ind; Per/Aml/Ind group) or ARB-based (Tel/Aml/Chl; Tel/Aml/Chl group) triple fixeddose combination for atleast one-month at the study centre. Office Blood Pressure (BP) at one-month follow-up was used as a parameter to measure treatment effectiveness. Safety was assessed based on the occurrence of Adverse Events (AEs). Results: A total of 69 patients (n=32 in Per/Aml/Ind group and n=37 in Tel/Aml/Chl group) were included. Office Systolic BP (SBP)/Diastolic BP (DBP) were 181.44±8.52/95.19±7.25 mmHg and 183.32±6.65/94.81±7.14 mmHg in patients belonging to Per/Aml/Ind and Tel/Aml/Chl groups, respectively. There was a significant reduction in office SBP/DBP at one-month follow-up (Per/Aml/Ind: 129.31±6.44/75.06±4.85 mmHg and Tel/Aml/Chl: 129.10±5.90/75.00±4.82 mmHg; p-value=0.0001). Between-group comparisons did not showed any significant difference in terms of reducing office BP. Both groups exhibited identical safety profile. Conclusion: The study demonstrated comparable treatment effectiveness and safety profile with triple fixed dose combinations containing Per/Aml/Ind and Tel/Aml/Chl in a real-world setting.

Introduction: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is characterised by a modified inflammatory response to chronic irritants which is often associated with some degree of systemic inflammation. Exacerbations in COPD are characterized by exaggeration of the ongoing inflammation. A number of inflammatory mediators are found to be raised in COPD exacerbations but most of them are expensive and not readily available. The Neutrophil-lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) is a rapid, easy and cheap biomarker that has been shown to be raised in patients of COPD. Aim: To evaluate the role of NLR in patients of stable and acute exacerbation of COPD. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted in Department of Pulmonary Medicine at Government Medical College, Patiala, Punjab, India. Study included 150 patients of stable COPD, 150 patients of Acute Exacerbation COPD (AECOPD) and 100 subjects as controls. NLR was calculated from a peripheral blood sample of the study participants. Continuous variables were summarised as mean with standard deviation and compared between groups using Unpaired t-test. A p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The mean age in AECOPD group was 61.7±10.4 years, in stable COPD group was 63.1±8.9 years and 63.2±7.8 years in controls. Mean NLR was found to be highest in AECOPD group (4.0±1.7) followed by stable COPD (2.9±0.8) and then control (1.8±0.4).NLR showed good predictive value for predicting exacerbations in stable COPD patients with sensitivity and specificity of 75.3% and 70.7% respectively (cut-off 3.4 and AUC=0.806). Conclusion: NLR is an easily available biomarker of inflammation and can be used as a predictor of exacerbation in patients of COPD.
