Reducing Avoidable Emergency Visits and Hospitalizations With Patient Risk-Based Prescriptive Analytics: A Quality Improvement Project at an Oncology Care Model Practice
Authors: Gajra Ajeet , Jeune-Smith Yolaine , Balanean Alexandrina , Miller Kelly A. , Bergman Danielle , Showalter John , Page Ray
Published: March 2023

PURPOSE:

Cancer-related emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations that would have been appropriately managed in the outpatient setting are avoidable and detrimental to patients and health systems. This quality improvement (QI) project aimed to leverage patient risk-based prescriptive analytics at a community oncology practice to reduce avoidable acute care use (ACU).

METHODS:

Using the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) methodology, we implemented the Jvion Care Optimization and Recommendation Enhancement augmented intelligence (AI) tool at an Oncology Care Model (OCM) practice, the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders practice. We applied continuous machine learning to predict risk of preventable harm (avoidable ACU) and generated patient-specific recommendations that nurses implemented to avert it.

RESULTS:

Patient-centric interventions included medication/dosage changes, laboratory tests/imaging, physical/occupational/psychologic therapy referral, palliative care/hospice referral, and surveillance/observation. Nurses contacted patients every 1-2 weeks after initial outreach to assess and maintain adherence to recommended interventions. Per 100 unique OCM patients, monthly ED visits dropped from 13.7 to 11.5 (18%), a sustained month-over-month improvement. Quarterly admissions dropped from 19.5 to 17.1 (13%), a sustained quarter-over-quarter improvement. Overall, the practice realized potential annual savings of $2.8 million US dollars (USD) on avoidable ACU.

CONCLUSION:

The AI tool has enabled nurse case managers to identify and resolve critical clinical issues and reduce avoidable ACU. Effects on outcomes can be inferred from the reduction; targeting short-term interventions toward patients most at-risk translates to better long-term care and outcomes. QI projects involving predictive modeling of patient risk, prescriptive analytics, and nurse outreach may reduce ACU.
Narrative in Economics: A New Turn on the Past
Authors: Morgan Mary S. , Stapleford Thomas A.
Published: March 2023

Narratives have drawn increasing attention from economists and from historians and philosophers of science. Yet little of that attention has made it into the history of economics itself. This essay reviews some of the salient literature on economic narratives and introduces key themes from a 2021 workshop intended to bring that analysis to bear within the history of economics. Four important, but little noticed, functions of narratives emerging from that workshop are highlighted: exploration, explanation, closure, and reopening; and promising areas for future research on the multiple roles of narrative in the history of economic practice are suggested.
Marking Time: Marshall's Search for Narrative Explanatory Coherence
Authors: Maas Harro
Published: March 2023

It is well known that Marshall had great difficulty in organizing his work after the Principles. The promised second volume never came, and for the books that eventually were published, Industry and Trade (1919) and Money, Credit, and Commerce (1923), Marshall was at pains to find the right mode of expression for his research. In the introduction to the Principles, Marshall had explained his reliance on partial equilibrium analysis and, more generally, ceteris paribus reasoning as the natural method of the economist, for which his method of diagrams was an excellent fit. But already while working on his Principles Marshall had moved closer to economic history. In a letter of June 1879 to Jevons, he had praised Jevons's statistical work as an important step in “‘real’-ising” the abstract theories of economists, in which he promised to follow suit. However, while Jevons tried to flesh out mathematical relations that captured the economic causalities hidden in statistical data, Marshall started to explore a different strategy, a strategy that explains his criticism of “mathematico-statistics” and the waning away of his initial enthusiasm for the method of diagrams as an engine of discovery. Instead of relying on the ceteris paribus method, which would examine one causal factor at a time, Marshall searched for an approach that captured the causalities in the economy as an encompassing whole. A shorthand for this approach is his famous epigraph to Industry and Trade: “The many in the one, the one in the many.” Moving away from the opposition between abstract theory and economic facts, Marshall tried to develop a strategy that mediates between the generic categories of the economist and the specific events of history that are the domain of the economic historian. In contrast with the ceteris paribus strategy Marshall embraced in his Principles, in which an incomplete analysis is improved by adding causal factors, Marshall explored what this article calls a narrative strategy, in which he tried to work out how to integrate a manifold of heterogeneous causal factors into a unified whole, thus providing causal coherence to a complete chronology of events. The purpose of my contribution to this issue is to explore the development and substance of this narrative strategy. This article will use Jevons's and Marshall's different cartographies of time as an entry point to understand Marshall's narrative take on the causal explanation of the facts of history.
“Marco Polo Economics” and Narrative in the NBER Soviet Growth Study
Authors: Kuehn Daniel
Published: March 2023

In his 1962 NBER volume, The Growth of Industrial Production in the Soviet Union, Warren Nutter writes about how the study of the Soviet economy was hamstrung by official secrecy and data limitations. Western economists were forced to rely on what Nutter called “Marco Polo economics” or “travelers' tales” to replace or interpret quantitative data. Nutter's book is littered with these tales of Soviet economic activity from Soviet émigrés, foreign visitors, and reports of Soviet citizens. The tales provide a narrative grounding for The Growth of Industrial Production in the Soviet Union by outlining the flow of data through the Soviet statistical bureaucracy, establishing the strengths and limitations of Soviet data, and aiding in the interpretation of difficult-to-measure concepts such as product quality and military production.
Resisting Narrative Closure: The Comparative and Historical Imagination of Evsey Domar
Authors: Anand Ibanca
Published: March 2023

This article explores the peculiar approach to narrative argumentation taken by the MIT economist Evsey Domar (1914–97). Combining biography and textual analysis of his academic work reveals that Cold War themes permeated Domar's later research in comparative economic systems, Soviet economics, and economic history—and yet, Domar employed these themes in ways that challenge traditional understandings of postwar American social science. Against the heady partisanship and epistemic self-confidence that characterized his milieu, Domar offered conclusions that emphasized ambiguity, complexity, and open-endedness. He achieved this, the article argues, by thinking not only comparatively but also historically and speculatively. This article takes a journey through a number of Domar's historical and speculative narratives to demonstrate that what Domar was ultimately doing in many of his works was resisting normative, literary, and scientific closure.
Economists as Storytellers: Scenario Drafting at the International Monetary Fund
Authors: Lenel Laetitia
Published: March 2023

This article explores the history of scenario drafting at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in the 1970s and 1980s. Introduced in the late 1970s, scenarios were used to compare, assess, and illustrate the assumed effects of different policy actions or inactions. They provided alternative versions of a hypothetical future, derived from the research staff's narrative reasoning by which the IMF researchers stitched together qualitative and quantitative assessments, macroeconomic theories, and policy preferences, and presented an instrument to guide policymaking in member countries. The article points to four different functions of narrative in economic reasoning: as a sense-making technology, as a tool of persuasion, to fill in gaps and correct quantitative reasoning, and to link alternative policy measures to changes in parameters and variable inputs in complex econometric models. And yet, by focusing on the often-futile consultations with the United States, the article also highlights the limits of narrative. The article challenges Robert Shiller's description of the spread of an economic narrative as a “random event,” pointing instead to economists' role as storytellers.
Fertility and Media Narratives of the Economy: Evidence From Italian News Coverage
Authors: Guetto Raffaele , Morabito Maria Francesca , Vollbracht Matthias , Vignoli Daniele
Published: March 2023

We argue that media-conveyed economic narratives are crucial for understanding contemporary fertility dynamics, net of objective economic constraints. Individuals use these narratives to project themselves into an actionable imagined future and make decisions that may be relatively independent from their actual economic situation. We test this hypothesis for Italy by combining individual-level data from the 2009 and 2016 releases of the nationally representative Family and Social Subjects Survey with Media Tenor data on the coverage of the economy in the evening newscast of Italian TV's most-viewed channel (Rai 1). Our findings reveal that both the incidence and tone of news reports on the state of the economy are associated with fertility behavior. An increase in the number of negative economic news items is negatively associated with fertility, whereas an increase in positive items is positively correlated with fertility. Interestingly, when positive news items outnumber negative ones, an increase in the share of economic reports is positively associated with fertility. These associations are statistically significant and substantially relevant, net of traditional individual and contextual socioeconomic fertility correlates. Overall, our findings bolster the claim that media-conveyed narratives of the economy influence fertility behaviors.

Computer Simulation of New Forms of Shell Structures
Authors: Strashnov Stanislav
Published: March 2023

Abstract. A large number of new surfaces are presented, formed by congruent curves with variable curvature, but remaining in the same class, and superellipses. All surfaces are included in the class-es Rotation Surfaces, Velaroidal Translaation Surfaces, and Algebraic Surfaces with a Carcass of Three Main Flat Curves. All surfaces of the same class are defined by the same general explicit and para-metric equations, and thanks to the presence of many constants in the superellipse equation, it is possible to obtain a lot of known and new surfaces. Despite the fact that the method of construction of the considered surfaces is known, in the presented article it is il-lustrated and visualized on many examples. The surfaces were constructed using a numeric computing environment MATLAB. The surfaces of a general-view superellipse were built on the basis of a new computer program that allows them to be visualized in a multimedia mode by a set change in the exponents contained in the meridian-superellipse formula. All built rotation surfaces have a common name — superellipsoids of rotation. For the first time it is shown that algebraic surfaces with a given frame in three mutually perpendicular planes, applied in shipbuilding, can also find application in the architecture of public buildings. Superellipses are used as the rigid frame of surfaces. In the overview section of the article on the basis of the available publications it is shown that the geometry of the form affects the stress-deformable state of shells with the proposed medial surfaces. The materials of the article give an opportunity in the future to find the optimal shells outlined on the considered analytical surfaces of three different classes, which are considered in the article, taking into account the criteria of optimality applied in architecture, construction, engineering and shipbuilding.
About One Way of Forming Conics
Authors: Sal'kov N.
Published: March 2023

In the articles of the Geometry and Graphics magazine devoted to the properties of the Dupin cyclide, the construction of a conic – ellipse, hyperbola and parabola – using the properties of the cyclide was considered. At the same time, the center of the transformation was located on a straight line connecting the centers of the two base circles, and its location on such a straight line was negotiated separately and was located as the center of homology. To construct a parabola, it was necessary to take a straight line instead of the second circle, and the center of the transformation – the center of homology – had to be located at the intersection point of a straight line passing through the center of the first circle perpendicular to the second circle-a straight line with the first circle. Two different parabolas were obtained as a result of the transformation. In this paper, it is proved that if we take the center of correspondence that does not belong to a circle, we get other second–order curves - ellipses and hyperbolas. The construction of an ellipse is geometrically proved. To do this, the center of correspondence must lie on a straight line connecting the centers of the circles, but outside the actual circle. Several examples are considered. If the center of correspondence is inside the circle, we will have a hyperbola. Thus, having initially given only one con-figuration from a straight line and a circle, it is possible to obtain all conics: ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas, passing into one another. The proposed scheme for constructing conics can be used for computer drawing of all conics, which is more convenient than with the available options sewn into today's graphical drawing systems.
Graphic Training of Students Using Forms of Distance Learning
Authors: Nazarova Zhanna
Published: March 2023

This article examines the experience of graphic training of students of a transport university in the conditions of distance learning caused by the COVID-19 pandemic by the example of studying the discipline "Descriptive geometry and computer graphics". The use of the BlackBoard electronic educational environment and the teaching and methodological developments of the department staff is shown both as a learning medium for students, including independent work, and as a means of teaching for the teaching staff. Not only the remote format of classes is considered, but also the so-called mixed format, when in-person laboratory or practical classes are held only in small groups, and streaming lectures are conducted with the use of an electronic educational environment. After the end of the pandemic, the mixed format is used in many educational organizations continuously or occasionally due to the withdrawal of a separate group to quarantine. Within the framework of the article, a comparative analysis was carried out, reflecting data on the quality of graphic training among students who studied before, during and after the pandemic, using the example of samples from among the students of the 2019 – 2022 sets. The results of the comparative analysis show that there were no significant fluctuations in one direction or another. This allows us to conclude that the measures taken to organize the educational process in the remote format of classes have helped to preserve the quality of graphic training of students. Recommendations on the organization of graphic training of students are given, which can be used by geometry teachers both in the field of higher education and secondary special education, after returning to the usual conditions of the educational process.
Experimental Assessment of Utility Functions Induced by Fixed and Uncertain Targets
Authors: Zellner Maximilian , Abbas Ali E.
Published: March 2023

This paper presents the results of four lottery-type experiments that investigate the effects of incentive structures on decision-making under uncertainty. We compare choices made with and without incentives, with fixed targets, with binary targets, and with four-outcome targets that are discretized from a logistic distribution. The results of the behavioral experiments (i) validate theoretical findings of utility functions induced by fixed and uncertain targets. Further, the behavioral results show that (ii) individuals’ choices are indeed affected by incentive structures, which we quantify by several deviation measures. (iii) Defined consistency measures show that choices under uncertain targets become less consistent as the number of uncertain target outcomes increases. The results of these experiments provide insights into the effects of setting incentive structures on decision-making behavior.

Social protection of children in the interdisciplinary approach
Authors:   State Institution Luhansk Taras Shevchenko National University, Ihnatenko Katerуna
Published: March 2023

The article examines the concept of «social protection» in the context of an interdisciplinary phenomenon. An author has reviewed interdisciplinarity as defining the same problem in different sectoral planes, which seeks to connect these planes and create a qualitatively new one. According to the analysis of theoretical material, the impression of «social protection» has a philosophy, wherein the works of ancient thinkers, the state must protect citizens. The article also presents a brief description of the concept in sociological, political science, legal research. Research analysis has shown that «social protection» is an integral part of the state's policy, responsible for its citizens' welfare, development, and security. The author has analyzed pedagogical and socio-pedagogical research on a specific topic. She identifies social protection as a series of natural processes that depend on many external factors that constitute a protective environment social, psychological, pedagogical support, and assistance for children. The author concludes that social protection should minimize the negative impact of risk factors, social education, providing various types of social service and support, adapting behavior, and emotional state. The study also compares «social security» and «social protection». Ihnatenko K. defines social security as the activity of public authorities, local governments, public associations, and citizens to create favorable conditions (guarantees) for the lawful and consistent implementation and protection of citizens' rights. The author concludes that social protection aims to meet the basic needs of the most vulnerable citizens or citizens in difficult life circumstances or who need social protection from the state and other citizens, including children.

In the article the authors highlighted the current issues of overcoming domestic violence, the role of mobile crews of social and psychological assistance in the development of social work in the regions. The researchers noted that today in Ukraine mobile crews of social and psychological assistance are a key element of the anti-violence system. Due to the relative novelty of the subject, there is an objective need to highlight the legal and organizational foundations of their functioning. According to Ukrainian legislation, a mobile crew of social and psychological assistance is a specially formed association of specialists (practical psychologist, social worker) who provide emergency and planned social and psychological assistance to victims (including people under 18) of domestic violence and gender-based violence through direct intervention and referral (if needed) to other professionals. The authors also revealed some of the main features of the mobile crews` working process in the regions, in particular, they considered the experience of organizing the activities of the mobile crews of social and psychological assistance in the Khmelnytskyi territorial community. As a conclusion, mobile crews nowadays are an important factor of the social work improvement in the regions in terms of ensuring its mobility, efficiency and flexibility. This is extremely important today in the context of complex challenges that the regions and the country as a whole are facing. But in view of the fact that this practice is relatively new the need for its improvement remains.

Digital competence is an indispensable skill today due to the large-scale digitization processes in the world. Enrichment of pedagogical tools in the educational process through the use of smart technologies fully meets the problems and requirements of the pedagogical school and supports ambitious large-scale educational reforms in Ukraine. The use of smart technologies in the educational process will significantly affect the quality of pedagogical education and improve the digital and didactic competencies of teachers, school students, lecturers and students of higher education institutions of Ukraine. Smart technologies are information technologies aimedat developing the competencies of participants in the educational process, which are necessary for successful activities in the conditions of a digital society. New intelligent smart technologies require a change in the platforms used for knowledge transfer and the widespread use of smart devices. The need for the development of educational space is explained by the rather high level of development of smart technologies and their rapid penetration into everyday life. In turn, Smart Education is a concept that involves the comprehensive modernization of all educational processes, as well as the methods and technologies used in these processes, which allows for a new construction of the process of developing content, its delivery and updating. Smart education involves flexibility and the availability of a large number of sources, the maximum variety of different multimedia and quick adjustment to the level and needs of the listener. the use of smart technologies in education is determined by the development of students' critical thinking, the ability to independently plan and organize all stages of their own educational activities, in particular, from the formulation of the goal to the implementation of various project operations, from the implementation of the project to self-control and self-evaluation and reflection. This process, covering several stages, involves familiarization with a new type of activity, awareness of its meaning, and initial mastery of it, as well as the development of the skills of independent development of various educational projects.

Published: March 2023

The article examines the formation and development of the library system in Japan. The article analyzes the genesis of Japanese libraries from the oldest to modern libraries. It is noted that the “law on public libraries” proclaims the modern concept of public libraries as free institutions that serve the needs of the community and are funded from the budget. One of its main principles was the freedom of libraries from external pressure and the affirmation of the importance of professional qualifications of librarians. The article also notes that thanks to the rise of industry, it became possible to replenish and improve library collections. It is noted that for several decades now, Japan has deservedly enjoyed fame as a world leader in high technologies. One of the most important post-war developments in Japanese librarianship was the digitization of library resources. Today, the libraries of Japanese prefectures are connected by internet networks with the largest academic and national libraries. The change in the role and purpose of modern libraries affects the library's relationship with society, leads to the transformation of methods and technologies for organizing services, the formation of various types and types of communicative competence, and the ability to constantly improve There is no perfect library system in the world, but every library strives for its own ideal. The advantage of studying the experience of foreign libraries is that it is possible to trace the ways and stages of their development, as well as see errors that can be obtained during transformations.

The article outlines the ways of a new look at modern environmental education, which is a necessary and significant step to improve the educational system of Ukraine, to develop a strategy for its development. The essence of the concepts of «environmental education», «environmental culture», «environmental education», «developmental environment», «education of value attitude to nature», «formal education», «non-formal education» from the positions of different authors is analyzed. It is emphasized that environmental education is characterized by a set of the following components: environmental thinking, environmental outlook, environmental ethics and environmental culture; it is a holistic cultural phenomenon that includes the processes of learning, personal development, which should be aimed at the formation of environmental education and environmental culture; it is a psychological and pedagogical process of influence on a person, the purpose of which is the theoretical formation of environmental consciousness, which means an interconnected process of learning, education and human development during the life of a person. It is noted that environmental education is the core of modern education and serves as a key to the restructuring of its modern systems and society as a whole. The concepts and provisions on which the modern development of environmental education is based are highlighted. It is concluded that environmental education is a psychological and pedagogical process of influence on a person, the purpose of which is theoretical education of environmental consciousness. The modern system of environmental education in Ukraine has a continuous, complex, interdisciplinary and integrated nature, with differentiation depending on professional orientation and consists of two subsystems of non-formal and formal environmental education.

In the article the issue of mastery the most important school habit by schoolchildren with severe speech disorders is raised. Legislative documents, scientific principles of theory of the special studies to the language and broadcasting, that consist in forming of the valued orientations, skills of communication in sociocultural environment, capture of social behavior and social cooperation charts are analysed. The way of achieving results is examined in developing a language ability in the structure of capacity for a communication. The essence of the phenomenon of language ability is revealed according to the concept of capabilities of S. L. Rubinstein. Capabilities have organic, hereditarily envisaged preconditions for their development in the form of the endowments. Distance between endowments and capabilities is all way of development of personality. A child, who is able to learn languages, makes maximum use of his knowledge base in a specific situation of speech communication, which is impossible for children with speech pathology. Institutions of general school education create psychological-pedagogical conditions for children with low aptitudes for the formation of language skills, a component of which is the structural block of speech therapy assistance. Common maintenance of divisions of speech therapy diagnostics is scientifically reasonable. General content of sections of speech therapy diagnostics is scientifically proved. Speech therapy diagnostics should be based on psycholinguistic approach, that envisages the study of deep syntactic structures, semantic relations that characterize the structure of expression, character of passing to the surface syntactic structures, their physical implomentation. Both the finished speech products and the processes of speech are analysed by such method. The quality of speech therapy diagnostics determines the content of the individual of a child with low speech ability. The realization of the program takes place development inclusive education, the structural block program in the created psychological and pedagogical conditions of speech therapy is a part of it.

The article is devoted to the analysis of compensation problems in children with autism on the basis of research and work of domestic and foreign experts in the field of defectology. The lack of targeted research in this area determined the need for a theoretical study of this issue. The study revealed the main patterns of the emergence and use of compensatory mechanisms, outlined the importance of taking them into account in practical correctional activities. The study outlined the main correlates that determine the vectors along which, based on the involvement of certain compensatory mechanisms and strategies, the development of children with autism proceeds. Such severe damage to affective development also causes the formation of a special distortion of the child's intellectual and speech development. This is understandable, because a violation of the development of Affective selectivity in contacts with the world cannot but disrupt the development of attention of an autistic child, the formation of its higher arbitrary forms. The underdevelopment of Affective mechanisms of selective and arbitrary concentration becomes an insurmountable obstacle to the development of higher mental functions. Under these conditions, even with the highest conditions of intellectual development, a child with autism cannot cognitively master the environment. Its development here if changes its direction and where mainly in line with the effective development of impressions for the needs of hypercompensatory autostimulation. Such a child learns ways to get certain stereotypical motor, sensory, speech, and even intellectual impressions. Among them, special attention was paid to disturbances in the sensory sphere, hyperesthesia, fears, autostimulations and the content of the nature of the child's emotional assessment of his environment. It was emphasized that the decisive importance for the implementation of the psychological and social level of compensation for the inclusion in this process of consciousness, volitional qualities, social motivation and the presentation of social requirements to the child, the compliance with which is necessary for existence in an environment of normotypical people.

Terumbu karang merupakan ekosistem laut yang memiliki biodiversitas tinggi dengan produktivitas yang juga tinggi meskipun hanya menempati 1% bagian dari dasar laut. Data mengenai kondisi umum terumbu karang secara nasional tampaknya telah terdokumentasikan dengan baik. Akan tetapi, dalam banyak kasus, data-data dalam skala yang lebih sempit seperti di tingkat kecamatan dan/atau kabupaten tampaknya masih terbatas, termasuk di perairan sekitar pesisir Situbondo. Berdasarkan data dan fakta tersebut, perlu dilakukan upaya pemantauan (monitoring) dengan melibatkan banyak pihak termasuk komunitas pesisir. Akan tetapi umumnya terdapat masalah berupa keterbatasan kapasitas dan kapabilitas dalam pelaksanaan monitoring tersebut. Untuk itu telah dilaksanakan suatu pelatihan atau \textit{workshop} untuk meningkatkan kapasitas dan kapabilitas kelompok masyarakat pesisir dalam upaya monitoring dan rehabilitasi terumbu karang. Dalam kegiatan tersebut, mitra kelompok masyarakat adalah komunitas pesisir Misi Bahari yang merupakan wadah dan penggerak untuk melakukan upaya pencegahan kerusakan terumbu karang; serta perlindungan dan konservasi terumbu karang di perairan laut Situbondo dan sekitarnya. Secara umum, workshop dan kegiatan lanjutan berlangsung dengan baik dan dapat memberikan peran nyata dalam peningkatan kapabilitas komunitas pesisir dalam pemantauan kondisi terumbu karang; ditunjukkan melalui tercapainya kegiatan pasca pelatihan seperti monitoring bersama kondisi terumbu karang serta perakitan dan penenggelaman apartemen ikan (fish apartment) di Pasir Putih, Bungatan, Situbondo.
