Published: July 2024

Intracranial subdural empyema (SDE) is a life-threatening infection. Surgery procedure for culture the empyema is essential to diagnosing and treating the patient. Nevertheless, in rare cases, culture can not identify the causative organism because microorganisms are not grown. A ten-year-old girl with the main complaint of weakness in the right hand since two days before admission. She fell off the bicycle two months before admission, and her head hit the ground. Nevertheless, the patient's condition was stable at that time, and there was no history of loss of consciousness. A head CT scan with and without contrast found a mass suggesting chronic subdural hemorrhage. The patient undergoes surgery with burr hole drainage for chronic SDH but intraoperatively found subdural empyema. SDE could be an uncommon, harmful, pus-filled accumulation of tissue between the outer dura and inner arachnoid mater. Meningitis is the most frequent cause of SDE in children and newborns. Despite the fact that operative cultures can identify the responsible organisms, 7% to 52% of instances result in no growth, which is primarily due to the use of antibiotics in the past or inappropriate anaerobic culture technique. Intracranial subdural empyema (SDE) is an emergency and life-threatening infection. SDE can also mimic chronic SDH and make it difficult to diagnose. Emergency surgery is required for a better outcome for the patient. Culture empyema from collecting pus is not always found in the microorganism pathogen, which could be in sterile conditions.

Authors: Sowmya C
Published: July 2024

Lean methodology focuses on enhancing flow and resource efficiency by prioritizing customer value, eliminating waste, reducing variation, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement involving everyone in the organization. Implementing lean creates conditions that empower all employees to contribute to continuous improvement activities within the value stream. This approach not only lowers production costs, enabling reinvestment and employee engagement but also emphasizes professional development. This paper aims to maximize efficiency in seal production within a manufacturing industry by implementing lean tools such as standardized work and Kaizen. Standardized Work is a systematic method for producing parts or services centred on human motion. As a tool for ensuring quality, it defines efficient, safe work methods and helps eliminate waste, serving as the foundation for every operation. Once implemented, standardized work ensures that the same methods are repeated consistently, avoiding unnecessary motions, maintaining quality, ensuring safety, and preventing equipment damage. The consistent application of these methods improves product quality through standardized processes and procedures. By incorporating lean tools like defined worksheets and Kaizen, the production of seals in manufacturing industries can achieve significant productivity enhancements.

Problemy rozwoju rolnictwa Białorusi w latach 1990-2009
Authors: Dzun Włodzimierz
Published: July 2024

Na Białorusi w procesie przechodzenia do gospodarki rynkowej odrzucono koncepcję radykalnych reform („terapii szokowej”), a przyjęto koncepcję stopniowej transformacji systemowej. W rezultacie zasadniczo do dnia dzisiejszego nie stworzono mechanizmów rynkowych w rolnictwie i nie odstąpiono od dyrektywnego zarządzania przedsiębiorstwami rolnymi. Pod tym względem Białoruś jest wyjątkiem wśród krajów Wschodniej i Centralnej Europy. Mimo to produkcja rolna ogółem poczynając od 1990 r. aż do 1995 r. wyraźnie spadała, a w kolejnych latach aż do 2003 r. była w stagnacji. W 2003 r. poziom produkcji rolnej ogółem na Białorusi był o 22% niższy niż w 1990 r. W tej sytuacji władze centralne Białorusi zdecydowały się na podjęcie działań mających na celu radykalne przyspieszenie rozwoju gospodarki żywnościowej kraju. Założono w latach 2005-2010 zwiększenie produkcji rolnej o 45%. Jednak w latach 2005-2009 osiągnięto tylko 24% wzrost produkcji rolnej. Zasadniczym czynnikiem niższego niż założono wzrostu produkcji rolnej są trudności z rozwojem produkcji rolnej w gospodarstwach przydomowych ludności. W latach 2005-2008 produkcja ogółem w tych gospodarstwach spadła o 5%. Wydaje się, że jest to efekt ograniczenia wspomagania rozwoju produkcji w tych gospodarstwach oraz zmniejszenia zainteresowania rozwojem produkcji, szczególnie zwierzęcej, ze strony części ludności wraz ze wzrostem dostępności produktów żywnościowych na rynku.

Published: July 2024

Artykuł przedstawia analizę i ocenę spożycia żywności w województwie mazowieckim na podstawie danych z reprezentatywnych badań budżetów domowych GUS. Konsumpcję podstawowych grup artykułów żywnościowych porównano w ujęciu województwo/kraj oraz wieś/miasto/Warszawa. Opracowane informacje statystyczne z 2006 roku wskazują, że gospodarstwa domowe województwa mazowieckiego charakteryzują się wyższą, od średniej w Polsce, konsumpcją tzw. dóbr wyższego rzędu, tj. relatywnie droższych produktów spożywczych, o większym wskaźniku elastyczności dochodowej popytu. Według zebranych danych budżetowych, poziom spożycia żywności w badanym regionie jest na ogół wyższy w gospodarstwach wiejskich. W przypadku produktów pochodzenia roślinnego wyjątkiem są owoce świeże i przetworzone, soki owocowe i warzywne oraz używki (kawa i herbata), a wśród produktów zwierzęcych – mięso wołowe, ryby, sery oraz masło. Gospodarstwa mieszkańców stolicy wyróżniają się największą konsumpcją mięs, ryb oraz serów, a także soków i używek. Zjawisko terytorialnego zróżnicowania konsumpcji żywności powinno być wnikliwie rozpoznane, a następnie uwzględnione w pracach nad przygotowaniem narzędzi stymulujących rozwój gospodarki żywnościowej oraz polityki wyżywienia Mazowsza.

Psychological Distress at a Regional Australian Law School: Reporting on Law Students’ Experiences of Depression, Anxiety, and Stress
Authors: Holland Claire
Published: July 2024

Legal education in Australia is constantly evolving to meet the needs of law students and to prepare many of them for roles in the legal profession. Examples include changes to law degree structures, optional elective units, and subjects aimed at preparing law students to be ‘workplace ready’. Law students face challenging academic requirements and law school culture that can result in greater levels of psychological distress compared to the general population. Promoting law student wellbeing and responding to high student levels of psychological distress is a key area of focus for Australian Law Schools. This article explores existing law student wellbeing studies in Australia and reports findings from an empirical exploratory study investigating the levels of depression, anxiety, and stress (DASS) using the DASS21 survey instrument in law students at a regional Australian university, James Cook University. The results from this study support earlier studies at Australian universities that show law students experience higher levels of psychological distress symptoms compared to the general population, and it is an area of concern that requires ongoing attention. Results include an exploration of the impact of factors including type of degree being studied, campus location, year of study, gender, and time spent at law school.

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the effect of integrated palliative care (IPC) on potentially inappropriate end- of-life care and healthcare-costs in the last 30 days of life in the Netherlands.
Methods: Nationwide health-insurance claims data were used to assess potentially inappropriate end-of-life care (≥2 emergency room visits; ≥2 hospital admissions; >14 days hospitalization; chemotherapy; ICU admission; hospital death) and healthcare-costs in all deceased adults in IPC regions pre- and post- implementation and in those receiving IPC compared to a 1:2 matched control group.
Results: In regions providing IPC deceased adults (n = 37,468) received significantly less potentially inappropriate end-of-life care post-implementation compared to pre-implementation (26.5% vs 27.9%; p < 0.05). Deceased adults who received IPC (n = 210) also received significantly less potentially inappropriate end-of-life care compared to a matched control group (14.8% vs 28.3%; p < 0.05). Mean hospital costs significantly decreased for deceased adults who received IPC (€2,817), while mean costs increased for general practitioner services (€311) and home care (€1,632).
Discussion: These results highlight the importance of implementation of integrated palliative care and suitable payment. Further research in a larger sample is needed.
Conclusion: This study shows less potentially inappropriate end-of-life care and a shift in healthcare costs from hospital to general practitioner and home care with IPC.

Leverage Strategies of Real Estate Investment Trusts and Real Estate Operating Companies
Authors: Chang Carolyn W. , Lim Kian Guan , Zhang Zhi Min
Published: July 2024

This paper employs empirical data in three major Asian real estate markets - Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore, from 2001 to 2021, to study the leverage strategies of two related types of real estate companies – real estate investment trusts (REITs) and real estate operating companies (REOCs). The business model of the former must adhere to a real-estate-focused investment strategy while the latter undertakes a whole range of real estate development activities including land acquisition, financial feasibility analysis, construction, investment and asset management to redevelopment and disposal, and are not subject to the REIT rules with respect to tax transparency, earning distribution, real estate holding and leverage limit. We find that REOCs use 18.96% more debt than REITs after controlling for the agency and market risks, dividend yields, and property sector, country, and year fixed effects of firms; dividend payout has no effect on the leverage strategies; and high tax ratio increases the debt usage of REOCs relative to REITs. We also analyze the liquidation costs and business uniqueness effects. We find real estate value to total firm value ratio, as a proxy of liquidation cost, has negative effects on debt ratios for both real estate firms. Due to their uniqueness, REOCs with a high concentration of rental revenue stream are more vulnerable to liquidation risks, and thus more likely to have lower debt ratio. REITs however tend to have higher debt usage as rental incomes enhance cash-flow liquidity.

The collateral channel literature predicts that soaring real estate prices increase the debt capacity of firms with more real estate asset holdings. This paper discusses the different relationships between collateral and investment. We find that firms with strong corporate governance were more likely to increase debt capacity via the collateral channel during the real estate boom from 1993 to 2006. Entrenched managers used less debt to finance their investments when their real estate collateral values increased. Our results hold even after controlling for non-collateralized debts and credit rating of the sample firms.
Revisiting Enlightenment Universalism: 18th-Century Lessons on Nonliteral Translations and Transcultural Storytelling
Authors: Jin Wen
Published: July 2024

A large number of transcultural fictions appeared in the 18th century, providing us with an important entry into discussing the task of comparative literature today. The 18th-century Oriental tales, stories authored by European writers that adapted from or modeled themselves after loose translations of folk tales from the East, practiced a kind of mental shapeshifting, blurring the boundaries between East and West. The same kind of cross-cultural identification is visible in many other literary narratives from the same period, indicative of a fluid, universalist politics regarding Europe’s relations with the Orient that requires reevaluation. 18th-century transcultural fictions suggest a few tactics for mediating between the necessity of establishing grounds of comparison and the need to draw distinctions. In its search for ways of breaking through the stronghold of cultural nationalism, comparative literature in its contemporary incarnation does well to rethink Enlightenment universalism as encoded in the literary landscape of 18th century Europe.
Jacob’s Room: A New Form for a New Novel
Authors: Vasconcelos Sandra Guardini
Published: July 2024

This article discusses the impact of the Post-Impressionist Exhibition that Roger Fry organized in London in 1910 on Virginia Woolf’s ideas on the novel. Her dissatisfaction with the state of the genre finds expression in her diary and in her criticism of the work of the Edwardian novelists. Jacob’s Room (1922), her first truly experimental novel, deploys some of the painterly techniques that the post-impressionist painters and vanguard movements of the 1910s effected. It represents a decisive step in her search for a new form for a new novel.

Preliminary considerations on China's international cooperation in cyber security: legislation, competent authorities, and challenges
Authors: PIERȘINARU Andreea-Maria
Published: July 2024

This article addressed general issues regarding the Chinese legislative framework, competent authorities, China’s strategic objectives and the challenges in terms of international cooperation in the field of cybersecurity. The main objective of the research is to identify the actors involved in ensuring China’s cybersecurity, describe their responsibilities and correlate them with Chinese cyber-security legislation and China Cyber Security Cooperation Strategy. This study traces preliminary considerations for future in-depth analyses of the impact of China’s actions in the field of international cybersecurity. Among the main findings of the study the aspects briefly identified were related to the influences of the policies and narratives of the Chinese Communist Party presented in China’s International Cyber Security Cooperation Strategy, as well as to the fact that, despite China’s intention to become a cyber power, open to cooperation, international reactions are quite reluctant due to allegations of cyber espionage and domestic surveillance problems existing at the national level, among others.
Romanians and Bulgarians at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Political assassinations, border incidents and the attempted anarchist/terrorist plot against King Carol I (1900-1901)
Authors: NICULAE Daniel Silviu
Published: July 2024

At the beginning of 1900, Romanian-Bulgarian relations were very tense, being fuelled by both the incidents at the Southern border and the attacks that took place on the Romanian territory, thus, on the agenda of the Romanian politicians, the problem of the Aromanians from the Balkan Peninsula and Macedonia, the province coveted by Bulgarians, Greeks and Serbs, where comitagii gangs, the antarti and the cetnic fought both for the liberation of the countrymen from Ottoman rule and with the Turkish troops. In this context, assassination came to be used as a weapon against opponents, being present in Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia and Greece.At the end of the 19th century, Romanian society was suddenly awakened to reality, facing the consequences of the barbaric manner in which one of these revolutionary secret committees acted, whose anarchist subcommittee was established in Bucharest – nowadays we frequently use the phrase terrorist cell for something similar. Thus, it received the mission to commit several bombings on the Romanian territory, as well as the assassination of King Carol I and Romanian dignitaries, while, at the Southern border, the Romanian border guards reported daily incidents at the common border whose purpose was to destabilize and maintain a tense state on the conventional demarcation line between Romania and Bulgaria.

To analyze the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on a notification of impact cases in Brazil from 2018 to 2021. This is a retrospective, descriptive, quantitative, document-based study, with a search in the databases of the SINAM and SIH/SUS. In the period evaluated, 83,934 cases of congenital syphilis were reported in Brazil, with a decrease of 59%. Hospitalizations increased by 14.9%, with a predominance in the Southeast region, however, the North and Northeast regions recorded more hospitalizations than reported cases. Evaluating the pre-pandemic and pandemic period, there is a decrease in cases in all regions to the detriment of an increase in hospitalizations in the North, Northeast and Southeast. The disease does not have a predominance in terms of sex, but it prevails in newborns aged 0 to 6 days (94.76%) and in mixed-race (52.91%). 89.13% of the cases in the recent form evolved as alive while 1.25% died. It is noted that congenital syphilis is still prevalent in Brazil and that changes in the health system due to Covid-19 had a negative impact on prenatal care, reducing the screening and early diagnosis of the disease, since the number of patients admitted is higher than the reported cases.

Published: July 2024

The development of skin cancer is related to environmental factors, such as UVA and UVB radiation. It is equivalent to 30% of all cancers in Brazil and 200 thousand new cases are expected per year between 2023 and 2025. In Pará, 2490 cases are expected in 2023. We sought to analyze the relationship between the incidence of malignant skin neoplasms and the geospatial area of ​​Pará from the perspective of different variables. This is an ecological, exploratory, quantitative study, with data collected by DATASUS, PAINEL ONCOLOGY and selected cases of melanoma and other malignant skin neoplasms from 2019 to 2023 in the State of Pará for the 13 Health Regions, related criteria such as age, age group, gender, detailed diagnosis, staging and therapeutic modality. A total of 643 cases were recorded, 20.8% were malignant melanomas and 70.1% were other malignant skin neoplasms, of which 59.7% were men, 40.3% were women, with a predominance in the age group of 80 years or over with 15 .7%, with 45% of cases treated with Radiotherapy. In view of this, it is considered that malignant skin neoplasms are still public health problems in the State of Pará and affect sensitive portions of the population of Pará.

The study aimed to analyze the epidemiological profile of hospital admissions and hospital expenditures during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is an epidemiological, quantitative and retrospective study, with data collection from DATASUS, by consulting the SIH/SUS of Brazil. In 2020 a total of 10,531,196 and in 2021 a total of 11,479,416 hospitalizations were recorded in Brazil, 13.6% and 9% lower than in 2019. There was a reduction in hospitalizations for pregnancy, childbirth, and puerperium (15.9%), digestive system diseases (25.2%), neoplasms (14.2%), external causes (19.1%), circulatory system diseases (20.9%), and for respiratory system diseases (36.1%). However, they increased for infectious and parasitic diseases, about 79.2%. Although hospitalizations reduced in 2020 (13.6%) and 2021 (5.8%), the average value increased by 19.8% and 50.1% and total costs by 19.8% and 50.1%, respectively. We emphasize the importance of subsidizing policies that strengthen primary care in Brazil and that also encompass programs aimed at improving the social determinants of health, thus reducing the number of hospitalizations and expenditures in Brazil.

To analyze hospitalizations due to malignant skin neoplasms in the Brazilian Unified Health System. This is a descriptive ecological study of time series, with data from the SUS Hospital Information System, analyzed using Prais-Winsten generalized linear regression. Between 2013 and 2022, 453.714 hospitalizations due to cutaneous malignancy were recorded, 80.4% of which were elective and the average mortality rate was 2.1%. On the other hand, hospitalizations that progressed to cure showed the highest values (22.7 and 69.1 cases/100,000) and an increasing trend. The hospitalization rate in Brazil grew, from 16.2 cases per 100 thousand inhabitants in 2013 to 28.6 per 100 inhabitants in 2022, however, there was a reduction in 2020 and 2021, the period of the Covid-19 pandemic. There was an increase in the coefficient of hospitalizations during the period analyzed, especially in the age group of 80 years, males and Southern Brazil, although a stationary mortality rate is maintained. Thus, it is important to improve public policies that raise awareness among the population about skin cancer, in order to carry out an early diagnosis and treatment, aiming at reducing complications and saving the public system.
