БИОГРАФИЯ КАК ИСКОМОЕ: СЛУЧАЙ Г. С. БАТЕНЬКОВА
Authors:  Д.  Долгушин
Published: November 2024

В статье рассматриваются проблемы изучения биографии Г.С. Батенькова. Под биографией понимается концепция, структурирующая опыт на основе «авторегулятивных конструкций», «жизненных гештальтов». В роли таких «гештальтов» у Батенькова выступали то сентименталистcкий код «милого вместе», то код кантианской философии, то «наполеоновский» код, то романтический код «узника», то код поэтической теургии и пророческого учительства, но ни одна из этих биографических стратегий не стала для Батенькова окончательной. Развитие каждой прервалось сокрушительной внутренней катастрофой. В этом обстоятельстве, очевидно, и заключена разгадка «странности» личности Батенькова.

The article considers the problems that arise in the course of studying the biography of G.S. Batenkov. “The biography” in the context of the article means the concept of structuring the experience-based on the “autoregulating designs”, life’s Gestalt” (the term by B. Dubin). In the role of such "Gestalt" Batenkov used the sentimental code of “cute together”, the code of Kantian philosophy, the “Napoleonic” code, a romantic code of “prisoner”, the code of poetic theurgy and prophetic teaching, but none of these biographical strategies became final. The development of each strategy was interrupted by devastating internal catastrophe. In this circumstances, obviously, lies the answer to the "strange" personality of Batenkov.
РУССКОЕ ПРОШЛОЕ ОДНОГО ЛЕВОГО ГОЛЛИСТАЛЕО АМОН (1908–1993)
Authors:  Г.  Канинская
Published: November 2024

О взаимоотношениях России и Франции в разные периоды истории написано немало. Однако это исследовательское поле отнюдь не исчерпано, в частности в том, что касается взаимопереплетения семейных судеб. В личной памяти, семейных архивах порой обнаруживаются до сих пор мало известные или совсем неизвестные факты, которые подчас самым неожиданным образом вписываются в историю советско-французских отношений, по-своему дополняя и обогащая наши представления об «особой их чувствительности». Семейная история Лео Амона служит тому наглядным примером и представляет интерес с точки зрения такого актуального направления современного исторического знания, как частная или повседневная история.

A lot is known and written about the history of relations between our country and France in different historical periods. However, this research field is by no means exhausted, in particular with regard to the interweaving of family lives. So far facts that are little known or completely unknown could often be found in the personal memory or the family archives. Such facts could be fitted in a surprising way in to the history of Soviet-French relations, in their own way enriching our understanding of the "special sensitivity". Family history of Leo Hamon is a good example of that, as well as have interest from the point of view a private or everyday story – the current trends of contemporary historical knowledge.

Authors:  А.  Серегина
Published: November 2024

В статье рассматривается влияние концепта меланхолии и идеи гения-меланхолика, сформулированной в псевдо-аристотелевых «Проблемах» на богословскую мысль и миссионерскую практику английских католиков конца XVI в., а именно, на представления о роли меланхолического состояния в познании религиозной истины и обращении в «истинную» веру.

The article discusses the influence of the concept of melancholy and the idea of a melancholy genius, first formulated in the “Problemata” by pseudo-Aristotle, on theology and missionary practice of English Catholics in the late 16th c., namely, on their views of the role of melancholy state in perception of religious truth and in conversion to a “true” faith.

A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF DEXMEDETOMIDINE AND TRAMADOL IN THE PREVENTION OF INTRAOPERATIVE SHIVERING IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING SURGERY UNDER SPINAL ANAESTHESIA
Authors: Sheelavantar Jyothi , Yahya Mohammad , B. Patil Pratima , Patil Priyanka
Published: November 2024

Background: Shivering is a common and distressing experience to patients which occurs either during or immediately after the surgery. It is defined as an involuntary, repetitive activity of skeletal muscles. Spinal anaesthesia impairs the thermoregulatory system by inhibiting vasoconstriction, and results in redistribution of core heat to the periphery from the trunk. Both these effects predispose patients to hypothermia and shivering. commonly used drugs for treatment of hypothermia are pethidine, tramadol, dexmedetomidine, clonidine.

Objective: To study the efficacy and side effects of dexmedetomidine and tramadol in the prevention of intraoperative shivering.

Materials and method: This study is on patients undergoing lower abdominal surgeries and lower limb general surgeries under spinal anaesthesia was done in basaweshwara teaching and general hospital, MR medical college gulbarga. It was a prospective study including 60 consented patients of age group 18 â€“ 65 years belonging to American society of anesthesiologists class I or II and posted for lower abdominal surgeries and lower limb general surgeries under spinal anesthesia were randomly allocated to Dexmedetomidine and Tramadol groups.

Results: This study included 60 patients, 30 in each group. There was statistically significant difference in group D and Group T at 15 min ( p<0.045) and at 30 min (p<0.003). The rescue drug was used more in tramadol group which included 12 patients and only 1 in dexmedetomidine group. p value for this is 0.001 which is highly significant.

Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine is more effective in the prevention of shivering when compared to tramadol. Dexmedetomidine has an added advantage of adequate reliable sedation. Hence, we conclude that Dexmedetomidine is most effective in the prevention of shivering when compared to tramadol.

A study on Software Industry of India in Burgeoning of Economy
Authors: Singh Dr. Nimesh
Published: November 2024

The Indian Economy experienced its highest growth rate in the past decade during the financial year that ended in March. The industrial and service sectors played a significant role in this impressive performance, contributing roughly 7% to India’s GDP in FY2023-24. The rate of economic growth in India experienced an improvement during the 1980s. Information Technology, or IT, encompasses the electronic handling, retention, and transmission of various forms of information. Hence, Information Technology has the potential to be applied in all sectors of the economy. The actual influence of science and technology (ST) on economic growth and productivity is a subject of ongoing discussion, especially in the United States, which has been at the forefront and the most extensive adopter of ST. Undoubtedly, India’s software business is more resilient, particularly in specific domains. Although the sale of packaged software to consumer and business marketsnecessitates economies of size and scope, as well as robust marketing and customer support, the project-oriented aspects of software development do not require them to the same extent. India’s software sector remains quite limited in its scope. The Indian Software Industry has experienced significant growth in recent years, primarily driven by the rapid expansion of globalisation. It has achieved this expansion by becoming a significant component of the global software labour division. This study emphasises the role of the Software Industry in fostering the growth of the Indian Economy during the past decade. The Indian software industry has significantly contributed to the growth rate of the Indian economy.
One District One Product Business Model: A Review of Different Countries
Authors: Chowdhary Dr. Abhishek , Milan Prof. Ram
Published: November 2024

India’s economy is driven by its small and medium-sized businesses. Brave small-scale business owners in rural areas, where giant corporations are scarce, design their own lives by adding value to regionally distinctive goods. They must overcome administrative challenges in marketing, product development and quality control, capital constraints and access to credit, a lack of training in capacity growth, and restricted access to major markets. The “One Village One Product (OVOP)” idea has been extensively embraced by many nations, particularly developing ones, more than three decades after its initial debut in Japan. This is due to its capacity to stop local deterioration and decline. On January 24, 2018, the Uttar Pradesh government launched the “One District One Product (ODOP)” with the aim of promoting one product from each of its districts. Soon, it started pan-India.
Nurturing Spirituality, and Spiritual Intelligence: A Vital Aspect for Healthcare Professionals in the Current Scenario
Authors: Soni Shweta , Pareek Dr. Vibhuti
Published: November 2024

The subject of this paper centers on spirituality as a component of a comprehensive theory of intelligence and the study of human potential. The ability to comprehend the world and oneself via a God-centered perspective and modify one’s life appropriately is considered spiritual intelligence. All other abilities are shaped and guided by this fundamental skill. Several characteristics of spiritual intelligence, including faith, humility, gratitude, integrative ability, emotional regulation skills, morality, and the capacity for moral conduct, forgiveness, and love, are depicted in a non-inclusive manner based on the firsthand accounts of well-known spiritual writers and laypeople. Spiritual intelligence is considered developmental, developed via the accumulation of discrete experiences, and manifesting in progressively more ways in an individual’s life. Healthcare personnel often face changing work environments, highlighting their dynamic and unpredictable nature. The healthcare workforce has become more diversified in terms of nationality and age. Thanks to globalization, people are more mobile, and the world has no borders. Hospital professionals must be more dedicated and have more harmonious working relationships. The ability to use, manifest, and embody spiritual resources, ideals, and attributes in ways that improve one’s everyday functioning and overall well-being is known as spiritual intelligence. Healthcare personnel will have a more favorable work environment with the aid of spiritual intelligence. Greater patient satisfaction and increased productivity are correlated with an improved work environment.
Unveiling the Unspoken: A Critical Study of ‘Dhwani’ in Indian Aesthetics
Authors:   Assistant Professor, University Department of English Ranchi University, Ranchi, India., Sinha Samira
Published: November 2024

In the rich heritage of literary theory and criticism of the Indian Knowledge System, we have seven different approaches to evaluating literary works. Theories such as Rasa (Bharata), Alankara (Bhamaha), Guna (Dandin), Riti (Vamana), Dhwani (Anandavardhana), Vakrokti (Kuntaka) and Auchitya (Khemendra) are some of the sharpest and subtlest contributions of Indian Poetics to the understanding and evaluation of works of art. The theoreticians are called the originators as they established new dogmas in Sanskrit poetics. While the ‘Rasa’ theory concerned itself with aesthetic effect, ‘Alankara’ with figures of speech, modes, and devices, ‘Riti’ with stylistic values, and ‘Guna -Dosha’ with excellence and defects, ‘Dhwani’ deals with the aesthetic suggestiveness of words which bursts (‘sphota’) upon or stimulates the ‘sahridaya’ (sensitive/ responsive) reader or listener. The aesthetic pleasure (Dhwanyarasa), which is an essential characteristic of all good literature, springs from this.

Anandavardhan, a Kashmiri poet-critic of the ninth century A.D., unified criticism by taking poetry and drama together and applying to all genres of literature the same principles of analysis and evaluation. To formulate his theory of Dhwani he considered a question that is fundamental to all critical analysis: How do words convey their meaning? He considered the signifier and the signified by differentiating them broadly into the primary and the implied. To be more specific, these were the ‘abhidha’ (literal), ‘lakshana’ (indicated) and ‘vyanjana’ (suggested) meanings of words. Anandavardhan implied that the role of ‘vyanjana’, or suggested meaning of words is central to the richness of poetry; that it is the soul of poetry. For a long, we have been applying Western critical theories to our evaluation of literature including Indian writing in English and even regional literature in translation. A study of literature from the standpoint of our fine-tuned ancient theories of aesthetics would perhaps yield rich dividends in terms of interpretation. This paper proposes to examine some famous works of British literature and Indian writing in English from the perspective of the critical theory of ‘Dhwani’.
Blinding the Male Gaze with Gaze: Exploring the Agency of Gaze in Amrita Sher-Gil’s Paintings as Statements Against Masculine Stereotypes
Authors:   Graduate Student, Department of English, Jahangirnagar University, Rayhan Ahmed Abdullah Bin Farooqi
Published: November 2024

Amrita Sher-Gil’s paintings deploy ocular symbolism that serves as potent tools in dismantling and redefining prevailing masculine stereotypes of Indian society. Her distinctive approach to paintings turns her canvases into eloquent statements against patriarchal paradigms and norms regarding the role and position of women. Sher-Gil adeptly reclaims female subjectivity, proposes incisive discourses disrupting gender-centric power dynamics, delves into the inner recesses of the female psyche, and, notably, provides a poignantly realistic depiction of the emotional struggles faced by subaltern Indian women, as illustrated in her notable works such as Hill Women and Self-Portrait as a Tahitian where the motif of paired eyes functions as the conduit to convey these sentiments and statements. Her paintings like Two Women challenge the male gaze on nudity and celebrate female confidence and autonomy, subverting traditional gender expectations. She further challenges societal norms surrounding marriage in her painting Bride, where defiant gazes question prescribed roles for women. Overall, ‘gaze’ stands as a central motif in Sher-Gil’s paintings that serves as a device to expose, question, and challenge the stereotypical male gaze. The current research aims to underscore the way Sher-Gil, through her representation of women incorporating a bold execution of the motif of gaze, provides statements against the oppressive aspects of Indian patriarchy and attempts to defy the repressive male perspective. This study, through a critical virtual culture analysis of the relevant artworks, intends to reveal the gender-based socio-cultural implications embedded in Sher-Gil’s oeuvre primarily using Griselda Pollock’s idea of the power dynamics, gaze, and representation proposed in Vision and Difference and Laura Mulvey’s notion of the male gaze.

Resposta do alho nobre vernalizado à adubação nitrogenada nas condições de cultivo do semiárido tropical
Authors:   , Henriques Gabrielly Paula de Sousa Azevedo
Published: November 2024

O alho é muito exigente em nitrogênio, sendo o nutriente requerido em maior quantidade pela cultura. Atualmente, informações relacionadas a nutrição mineral de alho vernalizado na região do semiárido são escassas, dessa forma, há necessidade de se avaliar o comportamento produtivo e qualitativo dessa hortaliça quanto à adubação nitrogenada nas diferentes condições de clima e solo. Com o objetivo de avaliar a produção e qualidade de alho nobre vernalizado em função de doses de nitrogênio em regiões de altitude do semiárido tropical, realizou-se um experimento em Martins, RN, de maio a agosto de 2014. O delineamento experimental adotado foi o de blocos casualizados completos, com cinco repetições. Os tratamentos foram constituídos de cinco doses de nitrogênio aplicadas em cobertura: 0, 40, 80, 120, e 160 kg ha-1. Os bulbos sementes da cultivar Jonas foram vernalizados por um período de 60 dias a temperatura de 4°C±1ºC e umidade relativa de 65 a 70%. Foram avaliados: altura de plantas, número de folhas, razão bulbar, ciclo cultural, massa média de bulbos, produtividade total, comercial e não comercial de bulbos, porcentagem de superbrotamento, classificação dos bulbos e bulbilhos, e número de bulbilhos por bulbo, dose de maior eficiência econômica, diâmetro de bulbo, sólidos solúveis, açúcares solúveis totais, pH, acidez titulável, relação sólidos solúveis/acidez titulável, pungência, sólidos totais e índice industrial. A dose de 90 kg ha-1 de nitrogênio aplicado em cobertura proporcionou as maiores médias de altura de plantas, número de folhas, massa média e produtividade total. A dose de máxima eficiência econômica foi a de 91 kg ha-1 de N, a qual promoveu maior produtividade comercial de bulbos. As doses de nitrogênio não influenciaram as características: ciclo cultural, número de bulbilhos por bulbo, classificação de bulbilhos, sólidos solúveis, sólidos totais, açúcares solúveis totais e índice industrial. O incremento das doses de nitrogênio proporcionou aumento do pH, relação sólidos solúveis/acidez titulável e redução na acidez titulável. A pungência e o diâmetro de bulbo aumentaram até as doses de 65 e 94 kg ha-1 de nitrogênio, respectivamente

Published: November 2024

Dois experimentos foram realizados na mesma área, em anos seguidos, cujos objetivos foram avaliar sistemas silviagrícolas envolvendo sabiá, jurema-preta, milho e feijão-caupi. No experimento-1 (taungya), cada arbórea foi cultivada solteira e consorciada com as anuais, que também foram cultivadas solteiras. Utilizou-se o delineamento de blocos ao acaso, com cinco repetições. No experimento-2 (aléias), as arbóreas foram cortadas, por ocasião da semeadura das anuais, sendo ramos jovens e folhas incorporados nas áreas consorciadas, e utilizadas duas cultivares de milho e duas variedades tradicionais de feijão-caupi. No experimento-1, o rendimento de grãos de milho foi maior nos monocultivos, não havendo diferença para massa de espigas verdes empalhadas comercializáveis (MEVEC). Sistemas de cultivo não diferiram para rendimentos de grãos verdes e secos de caupi. As arbóreas não diferiram em seus efeitos sobre rendimentos de espigas verdes e de grãos, assim como para rendimentos de grãos verdes e secos de caupi. As consorciações foram vantajosas economicamente quando o milho foi comercializado como espigas verdes e o caupi como grãos verdes. No experimento-2, as arbóreas continuaram crescendo após o consórcio, sendo que a jurema-preta cresceu mais que a sabiá a partir dos 240 dias após a semeadura. Os rendimentos de grãos e de espigas foram maiores nos monocultivos, não havendo diferença entre cultivares. Não houve diferença entre arbóreas e cultivares em seus efeitos sobre o rendimento de grãos. Para MEVEC, houve interação espécies arbóreas x posições de fileiras, e cultivares (30F35H e AG4051PRO) não diferiram para esta característica. Os rendimentos de grãos de caupi foram maiores nos monocultivos. A variedade de caupi Lagoa de Pedra foi superior à José da Penha no rendimento de grãos secos, não havendo diferença para grãos verdes. Houve interação entre variedades tradicionais x posições de fileiras para rendimentos de grãos secos e verdes, e espécies arbóreas x posições de fileiras para rendimento de grãos verdes. Os cultivos solteiros das anuais proporcionaram maiores valores de massas fresca e seca de plantas daninhas. Não houve efeito de sistemas de cultivo nas características químicas do solo

Authors:   , Silva Kaliane de Souza
Published: November 2024

O uso de herbicidas sem os conhecimentos básicos de suas interações com o solo e clima representa alto risco de contaminação ambiental e redução da biodiversidade. Para evitar esses problemas é fundamental compreender a dinâmica do herbicida no solo. Dois experimentos foram conduzidos, visando avaliar a dinâmica do ametryn em cinco solos da região canavieira do Nordeste brasileiro: Neossolo Quartzarênico; Argissolo; Espodossolo; Latossolo e Cambissolo. O primeiro experimento avaliou-se a lixiviação do ametryn nos referidos solos por meio de bioensaios e cromatografia líquida. Observou-se que a lixiviação do herbicida foi influenciada pelas características físico-químicas dos solos, apresentando a seguinte sequência de potencial de lixiviação: Neossolo Quartzarênico> Latossolo> Argissolo> Cambissolo> Espodossolo e que o Neossolo Quartzarênico apresentou maior concentração do ametryn na camada de 5 a 10 cm de profundidade, indicando possibilidade de perda da eficiência agronômica e contaminação de águas subterrâneas. O segundo experimento avaliou-se a persistência do ametryn nos solos mencionados por meio de bioensaios e cromatografia líquida. Observou-se que a persistência do herbicida variou em função dos atributos físicos e químicos dos solos, com meia-vida (t½) de 49 dias para o Neossolo Quartzarênico, 35 dias para o Argissolo, 28 dias para Espodossolo, Latossolo e Cambissolo. Sintomas visuais de intoxicação causados pelo ametryn ocorreram até aos 133 dias para o Neossolo Quartzarênico e Espodossolo, 168 dias para o Argissolo, Latossolo e Cambissolo

Labdarúgó nemzeti kupák – a Magyar Kupa igazságosságának vizsgálata a lebonyolítás és sorsolás szemszögéből
Authors: Zimányi Róbert G.
Published: November 2024

The leading role of football among sports can hardly be questioned. It is also true for national and international leagues and cup matches. Though both take place all year round, one of the most significant differences between the two cases is that teams are playing more matches in leagues – if you lose on one occasion, next time you have the chance to correct it, while a single defeat in a cup match causes elimination from the entire cup. For this reason, it is extremely important that the competition format system and the draw must be just. These are all the essential conditions for the birth of a just final result. In other words, the competition announcement of the cup series must also be based on justice. The research presents justices related to the Hungarian National Football Cup. To reach this goal, I called upon various theories of justice: from the evolutionary view, through Aristotle's distinction based on the excellence, and the meritocracy to the egalitarianism – the latter also includes the issue of fairness and handicap. The point is, when examining a factor, the application of the theories of justice must be in accordance with the telos of the competitive sport and of the Hungarian National Football Cup. The identification with essential nature is an exclusionary criterion. Besides to the literature processing of the theories of justice, the study also examines the competition announcement of the Hungarian National Football Cup 2021/2022 competition season as a document analysis. We can state: several theories of justice appear in accordance with the Hungarian National Football Cup's telos – so the incompetition format system and the draw can also be just, it only depends on which theory of justice is applied, and what is their purpose. When the competition of the Hungarian National Football Cup was announced, the importance of the theories of justice had also been confirmed in practice, because the organizers used several telos-compatible justice theories.

How do combined surgical approaches compare to isolated procedures regarding efficacy and complication rates? Our objective is to comprehensively analyze surgical options for frontal migraines, including their success rates and safety profiles. A literature search was performed using the PubMed database, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, to provide a systematic review of the literature on the surgical treatment of chronic frontal site migraine. A total of 756 citations from PubMed were initially identified. After a title and abstract review, records were considered relevant. Following a full-text examination, only 16 articles from the initial research, published between 2000 and 2024, met the inclusion criteria and were included in the systematic review. In total, 1004 patients suffering from Frontal Migraine Headaches (FMH) underwent surgical treatment, encompassing all the established procedures. Surgical interventions for migraine demonstrated significant symptom reduction, with response rates ranging from 57% to 94% across techniques. Various surgical interventions for frontal trigger site migraines demonstrate significant effectiveness, with endoscopic approaches showing higher success rates. Techniques like foraminotomy and the integration of botulinum toxin A may further enhance outcomes. However, multi-center, high-quality studies are needed to standardize techniques, evaluate long-term consequences, and assess patient quality of life post-surgery.
Preliminary Screening for Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Using an AI Chatbot as a Genetic Counselor: Clinical Study
Authors: Sato Ann , Haneda Eri , Hiroshima Yukihiko , Narimatsu Hiroto
Published: November 2024

Background

Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) is a major type of hereditary cancer. Establishing effective screening to identify high-risk individuals for HBOC remains a challenge. We developed a prototype of a chatbot system that uses artificial intelligence (AI) for preliminary HBOC screening to determine whether individuals meet the National Comprehensive Cancer Network BRCA1/2 testing criteria.

Objective

This study’s objective was to validate the feasibility of this chatbot in a clinical setting by using it on a patient population that visited a hospital.

Methods

We validated the medical accuracy of the chatbot system by performing a test on patients who consecutively visited the Kanagawa Cancer Center. The participants completed a preoperation questionnaire to understand their background, including information technology literacy. After the operation, qualitative interviews were conducted to collect data on the usability and acceptability of the system and examine points needing improvement.

Results

A total of 11 participants were enrolled between October and December 2020. All of the participants were women, and among them, 10 (91%) had cancer. According to the questionnaire, 6 (54%) participants had never heard of a chatbot, while 7 (64%) had never used one. All participants were able to complete the chatbot operation, and the average time required for the operation was 18.0 (SD 5.44) minutes. The determinations by the chatbot of whether the participants met the BRCA1/2 testing criteria based on their medical and family history were consistent with those by certified genetic counselors (CGCs). We compared the medical histories obtained from the participants by the CGCs with those by the chatbot. Of the 11 participants, 3 (27%) entered information different from that obtained by the CGCs. These discrepancies were caused by the participant’s omissions or communication errors with the chatbot. Regarding the family histories, the chatbot provided new information for 3 (27%) of the 11 participants and complemented information for the family members of 5 (45%) participants not interviewed by the CGCs. The chatbot could not obtain some information on the family history of 6 (54%) participants due to several reasons, such as being outside of the scope of the chatbot’s interview questions, the participant’s omissions, and communication errors with the chatbot. Interview data were classified into the following: (1) features, (2) appearance, (3) usability and preferences, (4) concerns, (5) benefits, and (6) implementation. Favorable comments on implementation feasibility and comments on improvements were also obtained.

Conclusions

This study demonstrated that the preliminary screening system for HBOC using an AI chatbot was feasible for real patients.
Preferences of Individuals With Obesity for Online Medical Consultation in Different Demand Scenarios: Discrete Choice Experiments
Authors: Hu Yaolin , Wang Jian , Zhou Jianbo , Gu Yuanyuan , Nicholas Stephen , Maitland Elizabeth
Published: November 2024

Background

Obesity is a unique chronic disease, with China having the largest number of people living with overweight and obesity in the world. There has been little research from the demand perspective for online medical consultation (OMC) by individuals living with obesity. With the growing demand for obesity OMC, especially due to the emergence of new pharmacotherapies, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, individuals living with obesity are seeking both advice on obesity management and the prescription of obesity drugs. Therefore, our demand scenarios defined 2 OMC motivations to manage obesity: “For-Drugs” use and “For-Advice” use.

Objective

This study aims to assess and compare the preferences for For-Drugs and For-Advice OMC among individuals living with obesity in China.

Methods

Following the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research’s checklist and comprising 400 participants assigned to the For-Drugs scenario and 400 to the For-Advice scenario, the For-Drugs and For-Advice preferences were estimated through discrete choice experiments. The groups in the 2 scenarios followed a similar distribution, and the 2 different demand scenarios shared the same discrete choice experiment design, comprising 16 choice sets with 6 representative attributes. Mixed logit modeling was used to estimate the willingness to pay and relative importance scores.

Results

Doctors with well-known and general expert titles, versus ordinary doctors; doctors from high-level, provincial, tertiary, and municipal hospitals, versus lower-level county hospitals; less waiting time; and lower OMC fees were preferred in both the For-Drugs and For-Advice scenarios. The differences between the 2 scenarios lay in the consultation format, consultation duration, and the relative importance of consultation duration versus waiting time. The For-Advice group preferred telephone consultations, while the For-Drugs group did not; the For-Drugs group preferred longer consultation duration (β=.029), while the For-Advice group preferred shorter consultation duration (β=–.030); and the For-Drugs group rated consultation duration higher than waiting time, while the For-Advice group rated the waiting time as more important than consultation duration. Combined with our qualitative research, the differences can be explained by the different consultation needs in the 2 scenarios, where longer patient consultations were preferred by the For-Drugs patients who sought detailed advice on drug side effects, while quick and direct responses were preferred by the For-Advice participants.

Conclusions

By revealing user preferences on costs, doctors’ titles and hospital level, wait time, and consultation duration and format, our research informs OMC platforms, OMC regulators, and doctors on market segmentation and service differentiation strategies.

Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND

To cope with the enormous burdens placed on health care systems around the world, from the strains and stresses caused by longer life expectancy to the large-scale emergency relief actions required by pandemics like COVID-19, many health care companies have been using artificial intelligence (AI) to adapt their services. Nevertheless, conceptual insights into how AI has been transforming the health care sector are still few and far between. This study aims to provide an overarching structure with which to classify the various real-world phenomena. A clear and comprehensive taxonomy will provide consensus on AI-based health care service offerings and sharpen the view of their adoption in the health care sector.

OBJECTIVE

The goal of this study is to identify the design characteristics of AI-based health care services.

METHODS

We propose a multilayered taxonomy created in accordance with an established method of taxonomy development. In doing so, we applied 268 AI-based health care services, conducted a structured literature review, and then evaluated the resulting taxonomy. Finally, we performed a cluster analysis to identify the archetypes of AI-based health care services.

RESULTS

We identified 4 critical perspectives: agents, data, AI, and health impact. Furthermore, a cluster analysis yielded 13 archetypes that demonstrate our taxonomy’s applicability.

CONCLUSIONS

This contribution to conceptual knowledge of AI-based health care services enables researchers as well as practitioners to analyze such services and improve their theory-led design.
