BACKGROUND

The rise of e-health systems, including electronic health records (EHRs), telemedicine platforms, and mobile health applications, has revolutionized healthcare delivery by improving access, efficiency, and quality of care. However, the increasing reliance on digital platforms has raised significant concerns regarding the privacy and security of personal health information.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to provide a thorough examination of the privacy issues associated with e-health systems. It seeks to identify and analyze key privacy risks, evaluate current privacy protection measures, discuss their limitations, and suggest potential areas for future research.

METHODS

We conducted a comprehensive review of the literature on privacy issues in e-health systems. The review included an analysis of current data protection methods, privacy regulations, informed consent practices, and emerging technologies such as blockchain and privacy-preserving algorithms. We also evaluated recent studies on privacy breaches and their impacts on individuals and healthcare systems.

RESULTS

Our review identified several critical privacy concerns, including unauthorized data access, data breaches, and inadequate encryption. Current solutions, such as encryption and access controls, have limitations, including insufficient protection and challenges in balancing data utility with privacy. We also observed gaps in compliance with privacy regulations and the need for more robust privacy-preserving technologies.

CONCLUSIONS

Ensuring the privacy of personal health information in e-health systems is crucial for maintaining public trust and enabling the effective use of digital health technologies. While current measures offer some protection, there is a need for improved privacy solutions and stronger compliance with regulations. Future research should focus on developing advanced privacy-preserving technologies, exploring federated learning models, and addressing ethical concerns related to AI in healthcare. Collaborative efforts among stakeholders are essential for advancing privacy protections and optimizing the benefits of e-health systems.

Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Background: Electronic Medical Records (EMR) are a potentially rich source of information on an individual healthcare providers’ clinical activities. These data provide an opportunity to tailor online learning for healthcare providers to align closely with their practice. There is increasing interest in the use of EMR data to understand performance and support continuous and targeted education for healthcare providers.

OBJECTIVE

This objective of the study is to understand the feasibility and acceptability of harnessing EMR data to adaptively deliver an online learning program to early career doctors.

METHODS

The intervention consisted of an online microlearning program where content was adaptively delivered using an algorithm input with EMR data. The microlearning program content consisted of a library of questions covering topics related to best practice management of common emergency department presentations. Study participants were early career doctors undergoing training in emergency care. The study design involved three design cycles which iteratively changed aspects of the adaptive algorithm based on an end of cycle evaluation, in order to optimise the intervention. At the end of each cycle, an online survey and analysis of learning platform metrics were used to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the program. Within each cycle participants were recruited and enrolled in the adaptive program for six weeks, with new cohorts of participants in each cycle.

RESULTS

Across each cycle, all 75 participants triggered at least one question from their EMR data, with the majority triggering one question per week. The majority of participants in the study indicated the online program was engaging, and the content felt aligned with clinical practice.

CONCLUSIONS

The use of EMR data to deliver an adaptive online learning program for emergency trainees is both feasible and acceptable. However, further research is required on the optimal design of such adaptive solutions to ensure training is closely aligned with clinical practice.

Authors: RAHMAT DENI , PUTRI VINESSA GRACIA , SUMIYATI YATI , DESMIATY YESI , NAFISA SAFIRA
Published: August 2024

Objective: Dahlia tuber (Dahlia sp.) is one of the inulin sources that could be planted in Indonesia. Inulin is fructan-based polysaccharide. Therefore, the research aimed to investigate inulin from the extract of dahlia tuber as a drug excipient, especially for nanoparticles based on inulin-cysteamine thiomer.
Methods: Crude inulin was isolated from dahlia tuber using ethanol for maceration. The resulting inulin was characterized using FT-IR and oxidized using sodium periodate (NaIO4) to increase solubility. Afterward, the oxidized crude inulin was further modified by conjugation with cysteamine to produce a cationic thiomer using reductive amination. The thiomer was evaluated regarding the number of thiol groups and solubility. The nanoparticles were prepared using ionic gelation methods. The resulting nanoparticles were evaluated for particle size and zeta potential.
Results: Inulin can be isolated from dahlia tuber with its content of 18.60±4.45% and carbohydrate of 61.75±0.75%. Crude inulin can be conjugated with cysteamine to generate a cationic thiomer using NaCNBH3 as a reductant, which can increase its solubility with free thiol group content of 415.21±40.39 µmol/g. Nanoparticles were generated from crude inulin-cysteamine thiomer with sodium tripolyphosphate (NaTTP), leading to a particle size of 180 nm and zeta potential of-10.8 mV.
Conclusion: As a potential nanoparticulate drug delivery system, a cationic thiomer could be synthesized from inulin derived from dahlia tuber grown in Indonesia.

Published: August 2024

Objective: Tocotrienols have now stepped into the limelight of vitamin E research and have proven to have some exceptional benefits that are not shared by their “older” tocopherol siblings. Unlike tocopherols, tocotrienols are able to inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis, have specific neuroprotective activities stronger antioxidant effects, antihypertensive and anti-cancer. The purpose of this study was to carry out selective separation of tocotrienols homologues from Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD) by liquid-liquid extraction, using Ionic liquids (ILs) as extractants in the presence of diluent.
Methods: Four kinds of imidazolium-based ILs that used are 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Bmim]Cl), 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([Bmim]Ac), 1-Hexyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Hmim]Cl) and 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Emim]C]). The extraction is carried out by creating a two-phase system between ILs and PFAD in n-hexane. Quantification of extracted tocotrienols was performed using High-Performance liquid Chromatography (HPLC) with a C18 column, mobile phase methanol: water (97.5:2.5), flow rate 1 ml/min and Ultraviolet (UV) detector at 295 nm.
Results: The results showed that the concentration (extraction efficiency) of tocotrienols extracted using ILs in order were [Bmim] Ac 1611.09 mg/Kg (75.41%) and [Hmim][Cl] 1603.39 mg/Kg (75.05%), [Bmim]Cl 1523.60 mg/Kg (71.32%) and [Emim]Cl 1174.24 mg/Kg (54.96%).
Conclusion: [Bmim]Ac yielded the highest tocotrienols concentration and extraction efficiency.

Authors: Lungley Deirdre , Bell Darren , L’Hours Hervé
Published: August 2024

This paper explores an enhanced curation lifecycle being developed at the UK Data Service (UKDS), with our Data Product Builder. Through a Graphical User Interface, we aim to provide the researcher with a tailored digital resource. We detail the threefold motivation behind this initiative: data dissemination scalability, researcher satisfaction and the reduction of nationwide duplication of research effort.
Subsequent sections detail the technical components and challenges involved. In addition to more standard data subsetting, filtering and linking components, this data dissemination platform offers dynamic disclosure assessments – identifying combinations of variables that present a potential disclosure risk. All components are underpinned by the Data Documentation Initiative’s new Cross-Domain Integration standard (DDI-CDI), designed to handle the many structures in which data may be organised.
Ever conscious of the scale of the task we are embarking on, we remain motivated by the need for such advances in data dissemination and optimistic of the feasibility of such a system to meet the needs of the researcher while balancing the data disclosivity concerns of the data depositor.
Automatización de tareas para desarrolladores de software en Laravel, por medio de comandos personalizados
Authors: Sánchez Montes de Oca Paulina Zulen
Published: August 2024

En la creación de un producto de software, es común encontrarse con fragmentos de código similares en varias partes del sistema. A menudo, estos fragmentos sólo varían en los nombres de los componentes, lo que lleva a la práctica de copiar y pegar el código, para adaptarlo luego al nuevo componente. Con la finalidad de abordar esta problemática, surge la necesidad de crear comandos personalizados que sirvan como plantillas base para el desarrollo del sistema. Esto conlleva numerosos beneficios, como la reducción en tiempos en la creación de un componente, en el uso de recursos del sistema, una mayor eficiencia en el desarrollo del código, la estandarización (al utilizar un modelo específico para cada componente) y la capacidad de incorporar código de acuerdo con las necesidades individuales.
Doctrina, ocio y fraternidad. La visión del tiempo libre en el Partido Socialista de Chile (1933–1939)
Authors: Sáez Muñoz Francisco
Published: August 2024

Con el propósito de ampliar el enfoque de las prácticas militantes en la historia de los partidos políticos, este trabajo resalta la importancia del análisis de las actividades del “tiempo libre de los trabajadores”. Mediante la revisión de la prensa y folletería socialista, se analiza la concepción que poseía el Partido Socialista de Chile respecto del tiempo libre, su posición crítica hacia el consumo de alcohol y las apuestas, y las prácticas que proponían como una alternativa de entretenimiento. Considerando que el Partido Socialista buscó representar una vanguardia del pueblo encargada de crear una nueva mentalidad, sociedad y moral inclinada a los ideales socialistas, sostengo como hipótesis principal que, para ellos, el tiempo libre representó mucho más que una distracción o simples actividades ociosas, puesto que las prácticas propuestas siempre rondaron en torno a la formación política de una comunidad militante.

Published: August 2024

Digital technology holds significant potential for enhancing business efficiency in agricultural marketing. However, empirical research on the use of digital technology among smallholder farmers engaged in staple crop marketing in Sub-Saharan Africa remains limited. Recognizing the pivotal role of digital technology in agriculture, this study aims to analyse and synthesize existing knowledge regarding the impact of mobile phones on market participation among smallholder farmers. Through a comprehensive analysis, we seek to provide a robust understanding that can inform policies and programs aimed at enhancing smallholder market integration. To achieve this objective, we collected cross-sectional data from 360 farmers in southeast Nigeria and implemented a double hurdle model to analyse market participation decisions and the extent of farmers’ involvement in staple crop markets. In addition to traditional econometric methods, we employed propensity score matching to further investigate the impact of mobile phone ownership on market participation. Our analysis revealed that ICT tools, particularly mobile phones and radios, significantly influence both the decision and intensity of market participation among smallholder farmers. Specifically, mobile phones were found to play a crucial role in facilitating access to market pricing information and disseminating knowledge on improved production methods. Given the volatility of farm prices, the timely dissemination of market information through mobile phones is essential for farmers to make informed decisions. With a high percentage of mobile phone ownership and substantial investments in mobile networks in Nigeria, the digitalization of extension services and marketing information delivery systems could catalyse rapid improvements in agribusiness and marketing. This shift towards digital platforms has the potential to address information asymmetry, particularly among smallholder farmers, thereby fostering greater market integration and economic empowerment within rural communities.
Alexey N. Tolstoy’s Novel The Bread and its Antihero General Nosovich
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Ganin Andrey V.
Published: August 2024

The article analyzes the image of the real historical figure of the white agent A.L. Nosovich in A.N. Tolstoy’s novel The Bread. In the spring and summer of 1918, a former General Nosovich held the post of chief of staff of the North Caucasus Military District in Soviet Russia, but at the same time was an agent of the Whites and conducted clandestine work. His image in the novel was introduced as an antihero, who was opposed by the shrewd commissar I.V. Stalin. Nosovich’s mentionings in the novel have a negative message. He is shown to be a pragmatic and cruel cynic, for whom the aim justifies any means. Tolstoy did not fail to emphasize the connection between Nosovich and the leader of the Red Army L.D. Trotsky, ostracized in the USSR. When creating the image of Nosovich Tolstoy relied on genuine documents, including the report of Nosovich to the White command about his underground work. Tolstoy’s novel contributed to the strengthening of the personality cult of Stalin and the mythology of the history of the Civil War in line with party attitudes. The image of the white agent General Nosovich served the same task.
Peter’s Empire as a Literary and Artistic Project: Peter the Great by A.N. Tolstoy and Tobol by A.V. Ivanov
Authors:   Moscow State Pedagogical University, Soldatkina Yanina V.
Published: August 2024

The article compares two historical novels devoted to the era of Peter the Great. Despite the fact that the novels Peter the Great by A.N. Tolstoy and Tobol by A.V. Ivanov are separated by more than half a century, their poetics and themes are characterized by similarities, including their appeal to a mass audience and their consideration of the empire as a national sociocultural project. For both authors, comparisons of Petrine Empire with European and Asian models and identification of peculiarities of the domestic imperial model, including issues of violence and service, are fundamental. For A.N. Tolstoy, empire is based on the concept of statism, of which Peter himself becomes the standard. In Ivanov’s Tobol, Peter functions as a judge and executioner, possessing the power to punish the opportunists who are plundering the empire.
Alexey Tolstoy in Margarita Borodaevskaya’s Memoirs
Authors:   Southwestern State University, Mikhailova Irina P.
Published: August 2024

Based on the memoirs of Margarita Andreevna Borodaevskaya On my meetings with writers, which are being introduced into scientific circulation for the first time, the relationship between A.N. Tolstoy and poet V.V. Borodaevsky in 1909−1911 are studied. Borodaevskaya, without adhering to a strict sequence in the events presentation, recorded life episodes and situations that influenced making certain decisions, and as a result, captured their experience and emotions. The memoirs contain interesting factual material, recreate Tolstoy’s portrait, allow one to judge his thoughts and feelings, and also add other touches to the already known picture of literary life of a particular historical and cultural period, which, of course, makes them a valuable source for studying the biographical space of the writer.
Estresse em professores do ensino médio: manifestação atual do mal-estar docente?
Authors: Costa Cleyton , Miranda Cássio Eduardo
Published: August 2024

Objetivou-se avaliar a vulnerabilidade ao estresse laboral em professores do ensino médio. Trata-se de um estudo transversal realizado com 316 professores do ensino médio regular da cidade de Teresina-Piauí. Os dados foram coletados por meio da Escala de Vulnerabilidade ao Estresse no Trabalho - EVENT e um questionário sociodemográfico. Os resultados demonstram que ainda que docentes no geral não apresentem indicativos de vulnerabilidade ao estresse, existe um grupo em estado de vulnerabilidade. Sobre as situações desencadeantes da vulnerabilidade ao estresse há a presença de fatores externos ao docente (carga horaria laboral e as possíveis deficiências estruturais e organizacionais da escola pública). Por outro lado, o favorecimento de situações de lazer fora compreendido como protetivo ao desencadeamento de situações de estresse. A realidade laboral dos professores ainda vivencia situações promotoras de adoecimento, mas é possível o reconhecimento de determinadas situações promotoras de bem-estar profissional.
O bem-estar docente e a afetividade entre professor/aluno: percepção das estagiárias nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental
Authors: Ferronatto Eliane Terezinha Tulio
Published: August 2024

Este trabalho trata sobre a importância da afetividade entre professores e alunos para o bem-estar docente. Tem como objetivo compreender a percepção de cinco estagiárias do Curso de Pedagogia sobre o relacionamento entre professores e alunos observados no Estágio Supervisionado obrigatório nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental.  A metodologia se deu por meio de análise dos relatórios finais, para compreender quais foram as percepções destas estagiárias nas observações realizadas nas escolas municipais do município de Maracaju/MS. Verificamos que os docentes, para  compreender seu estado emocional, precisam aprender a avaliar e trabalhar com suas próprias emoções e as emoções de seus educandos e colegas. A afetividade entre professores e alunos é imprescindível para que tanto professores como os alunos desenvolvam fatores de bem-estar.  Nesse sentido, o docente que nega a afetividade, encarando-a como antiprofissional, só aumenta as tensões e conflitos em sala de aula, transformando-a em um espaço hostil e pouco acolhedor.

RESUMO: As condições de trabalho dos professores de Educação Física da educação básica têm impactado negativamente essa classe de trabalhadores, com fortes repercussões na vida cotidiana e na saúde. O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar as percepções dos (as) professores (as) de Educação Física da rede básica sobre a saúde biopsicossocial e a relação com as condições de trabalho. Caracterizou-se como uma pesquisa descritiva, de corte transversal e abordagem qualitativa dos dados, com foco na análise de categorias. A amostra foi constituída por 10 (dez) professores (as), sendo 7 (sete) do sexo feminino e 3 (três) do sexo masculino de uma cidade do norte de Minas Gerais. Logo, tal dado pode ser entendido como um problema na qual esses(as) profissionais estão inseridos, tendo em vista que o sistema que reforça o cuidado é o mesmo que agride e pressiona esta categoria.

Este texto aborda o lugar dos/s professores/as na formação permanente, ensejando provocar o debate sobre a condição de passividade a que são submetidos estes profissionais em processos formativos nos quais são reduzidos a meros replicadores e fazedores do que lhes são apresentados como solução para os problemas cotidianos de suas práticas. Apoiados nos conceitos de formação permanente em escolas (Imbernón, 2009, 2016), de professor reflexivo (Pimenta, 2012) e saberes docentes, na perspectiva de Tardif (2014) e Freire (2020a), analisamos os dados de um questionário respondido por seis professoras e um professor dos Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola pública do município de Vertente do Lério-PE, sobre suas experiências com as formações permanentes. Os resultados evidenciaram a insatisfação dos/as entrevistados/as com o modelo formativo vivenciado por eles/as, confirmando a urgência de um novo olhar para essas formações
Autismo, biopolítica e educação: entre peças que emolduram o quebra-cabeça da normalidade

Published: August 2024

A vida da pessoa com autismo está tutelada por um catálogo normalizador da biopolítica. A partir dessa afirmação, o presente ensaio objetiva interpelar o conceito de biopolítica e, a partir dele, tensionar o autismo, enquanto um diagnóstico que emoldura os sujeitos via dispositivo da normalidade. Como ferramentas analíticas utilizamos a inclusão escolar de alunos com autismo e indicadores como a medicalização. Partimos do pressuposto que ambos têm funcionado também como dispositivos de usos políticos destes corpos. Conclui-se que a presença desses corpos com autismo, incluídos na sociedade, deve ser vista como prenúncio de novas estéticas e novas políticas. São corpos que questionam expressões como anormal/patológico, na tentativa de concebê-las como potência que possibilitam a ampliação de fronteiras para uma nova norma de vida.
Consent Theory and Adhesion Contract: A Critical Analysis of Contemporary Global Business Practices

Published: August 2024

Consent Theory mandates that both parties should have the right to negotiate terms and conditions of the contract on equal footings. At present, the ‘right to negotiate’ has been adversely affected by the introduction of Adhesion Contracts in almost all forms of online business and parts of the traditional business modes. This paper aims at critically analyzing jurisprudential tensions created by the Adhesion Contract to Consent Theory through application of analytical method. The authors argue that the Adhesion Contract tilts in favor of the dominant party. This paper further aims to examine the relevant case laws in Pakistan, relating to the enforcement of Adhesion Contracts and to assess the overall effectiveness of such clauses that renders the weaker party in exploitative state. Findings of the study suggests that courts should intervene to eradicate exploitation of the weaker party, by more markedly differentiating the legal treatment of unfair terms. Furthermore, Pakistani legislators must enact laws declaring such terms to be illegal.
Empowering Auditors to Pursue Fraud during Evidence Evaluation

SYNOPSIS

Auditors struggle to respond skeptically to fraud, diminishing audit quality. This problem is particularly prevalent during the evidence evaluation phase of the audit, when auditors perceive intense time constraints. Theory suggests that employees who feel empowered overcome constraints and produce higher quality work. We predict and find support for our empowerment theory-driven judgment model. Specifically, as auditors in the evidence evaluation phase feel more empowered, they assess fraud risk higher when fraud is present, leading them to indicate a greater need for more work and, ultimately, recommend more effective audit procedures. In further support for our theory, we find that as auditors feel more empowered, they perceive audit constraints as less restrictive. Regulators advocate for increased auditor vigilance against fraud, and this study contributes to research and practice by identifying an audit management strategy—empowerment—that successfully improves auditors’ fraud pursuit during evidence evaluation.

OBJECTIVE

Obesity is a key predictor of type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, metabolic complications are not solely due to increased BMI. We hypothesized that differences between genetically predicted BMI and observed BMI (BMI-diff) could reflect deviation from individual set point and may predict incident T2D.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

From the UK Biobank cohort, we selected participants of European ancestry without T2D (n = 332,154). The polygenic risk score for BMI was calculated via Bayesian regression and continuous shrinkage priors (PRS-CS). According to the BMI-diff, the 10-year risk of T2D was assessed using multivariable Cox proportional hazards model. Independent data from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES) cohort from South Korea (n = 7,430) were used for replication.

RESULTS

Participants from the UK Biobank were divided into train (n = 268,041) and test set (n = 115,119) to establish genetically predicted BMI. In the test set, the genetically predicted BMI explained 7.1% of the variance of BMI, and there were 3,599 T2D cases (3.1%) during a 10-year follow-up. Participants in the higher quintiles of BMI-diff (more obese than genetically predicted) had significantly higher risk of T2D than those in the lowest quintile after adjusting for observed BMI: the adjusted hazard ratio of the 1st quintile (vs. 5th quintile) was 1.61 (95% CI 1.26–2.05, P < 0.001). Results were consistent among individuals in the KoGES study. Moreover, higher BMI than predicted was associated with impaired insulin sensitivity.

CONCLUSIONS

Having a higher BMI than genetically predicted is associated with an increased risk of T2D. These findings underscore the potential to reassess T2D risk based on individual levels of obesity using genetic thresholds for BMI.

Epithets in the love lyrics of A. P. Sumarokov
Authors: Казаковцева О.С.
Published: August 2024

Статья посвящена анализу функционирования эпитетов как изобразительно-выразительных средств в любовной лирике А. П. Сумарокова. Выбор атрибутивной лексики зависит от эмоционального состояния лирического героя. Для описания его чувств и окружающего мира используются оценочные эпитеты, нередко автор прибегает к употреблению форм превосходной степени имен прилагательных, а также постоянных эпитетов, что добавляет тексту экспрессивность и усиливает впечатление от прочтения лирических произведений.

The article focuses on the epithet functioning in the love lyrics of A. P. Sumarokov. The choice of attributive lexis depends on the emotional condition of the lyrical character. Evaluative epithets are used to describe the feelings of the lyrical character and the surrounding world. The author often uses superlative forms of adjectives and constant epithets, which adds expressiveness to the text and enhances the impression of reading lyrical works.
Metaphors with the source sphere "Music" in K. Vonnegut's dystopian novel "Player Piano"
Authors: Камышева О.С.
Published: August 2024

Цель данной статьи – исследовать метафоры со сферой-источником «Музыка» в романе К. Воннегута «Механическое пианино». В результате исследования были выделены два фрейма: «Устройства и механизмы» и «Человек». В рамках фрейма «Устройства и механизмы» доминируют метафоры бытовых устройств, тогда как во фрейме «Человек» преобладают метафоры человеческих голосов. При этом наиболее продуктивны метафоры тембров музыкальных инструментов. По структуре большинство данных метафор являются простыми. Исследуемые метафоры могут осложняться музыкальной терминологией, прецедентными феноменами, повторами, звукоподражанием и графическими средствами

The purpose of this article is to explore metaphors with the source sphere "Music" in K. Vonnegut's novel "Player Piano". As a result of the study, two frames were identified: "Devices and mechanisms" and "Human". Within the framework of the "Devices and mechanisms" frame, the metaphors of household devices dominate, whereas in the "Human" frame, the metaphors of human voices prevail. At the same time, metaphors of musical instrument timbres are the most productive. By structure, most of these metaphors are simple. The studied metaphors can be complicated by musical terminology, precedent phenomena, repetitions, onomatopoeia and graphic means.
