CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY, CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP, AND SPIRITISM DOCTRINE: EXAMINING THE COMMON LINKAGES
Authors: Vasconcelos Anselmo Ferreira
Published: September 2023

The article explores the linkage among management, spirituality, religion, the concepts of corporate social responsibility (CSR)/corporate citizenship (CC), and their connections specifically with the tenets of the Spiritism Doctrine (SD). Overall, findings showed that, in theoretical terms, an ample convergence was found among the concepts of CSR, CC, and SD. More specifically, the concepts of CSR and CC describe the new duties and obligations, which make the manager's work more complex and challenging, while the SD clarifies the moral implications of decision making process, as well as suggesting some spiritually-based organizational policies that might be put into practice.

Introduction: Artificial intelligence is one of the most modern information systems that bases its operation on analogous functioning to the human mind. Particular hopes are placed in the treatment of diseases considered incurable. One such disease is pancreatic cancer, which has an extremely poor prognosis. Thanks to the use of machine learning and deep learning, artificial intelligence analyzes the available images taken during computed tomography and compares them with the introduced changes characteristic of pancreatic cancer. The advantage of the machines is the ability to analyze data, scans and images in a fraction of a second.
Material and methods: The authors reviewed the peer-reviewed international literature describing the application of artificial intelligence in oncology. Databases such as PubMed, SCOPUS and Web of were searched with the keywords "artificial intelligence", "oncology" and "pancreatic cancer". The review included articles from 2004-2023.
Discussion: Pancreatic cancer is an important topic of research due to unsatisfactory treatment results and the lack of screening tests allowing for quick detection of people at risk. Artificial intelligence is becoming a promising solution for asymptomatic patients, who can be classified into risk groups much faster than traditional methods. Unlike humans, intelligent machines can work faster and continuously, delivering content and results much faster.
Conclusions: Artificial intelligence is a promising tool in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Research results indicate that it is the most widely used in the field of oncological radiology, thanks to which imaging of early stages of cancer is becoming easier to detect. There is a need to verify machine methods and avoid bias when privatizing smart machines. The good of the patient should always come first, especially in a disease with an unfavorable prognosis, such as pancreatic cancer.

Authors: Wojtyla Anna , Mączka Martyna
Published: September 2023

AIM OF THE PAPER: Evaluation of influence of physical activity on selected perinatal parameters.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 300 women in physiological pregnancy. The group was divided to physical active and non-physical active women by KAPAS survey which they fill out retrospectively. Both groups were identical in counts. Selected perinatal parameters were monitored such as: increase of body mass, in which week the pregnancy ended, necessity of using induction labor or supply with synthetic oxytocin and crotch injuries. The respondents of both groups fill up the KAPAS questionnaire second time up to 7 days after labor to assess physical activity during pregnancy.
RESULTS: Both groups were homogenic in terms of somatic features. Increase of body mass was statistically significant lover in group of physically active women compare to non-active women. Birth mass of infant was significantly higher in the group of physically non-active women. It was proved that there is significant differences in physical activity during pregnancy between both groups. There were dependency between age and delivery term in physically active women. There were strong relationship between week when the pregnancy ended and necessity of using induction labor in both groups. There were no relationship between supplying with synthetic oxytocin during labor, crotch injuries and physical activity.
CONCLUSION: Physical activity during pregnancy decreased the percentage of labor with inductive delivery and prevents weight gain during pregnancy. Women that were active before pregnancy sustained there physical activity during pregnancy. Women that weren’t active before pregnancy also weren’t active during pregnancy. Physical activity have no relationship with crotch injury or necessity of using synthetic oxytocin during labor.
Ecocide as a precursor of a particularly acute and postponed genocide of Ukrainian and European population in 2023
Authors: Kupriianova Larysa , Kupriianova Daryna
Published: September 2023

In the morning of June 6, 2023, occurred a catastrophe that shook the whole population of Europe as well as one of the whole World. Russian troops blew up the Kakhovka hydroelectric dam, causing the biggest environmental crisis since the explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Thousands of victims, and this number is actual exceptionally nowadays without future predictions; hundreds of hectares of land, which were once a fertile base for the world-famous Kherson tomatoes and watermelons, fell victim to the brutality of Russian aggression. Countless species of animals and plants, aquatic and terrestrial, that will never have their natural habitat or merely the second chance in their life again. After surviving the First and the Second World Wars, our historians never get tired of repeating that such disasters are one of the typical tactics of conducting “a brutal war”. After all, no one has yet rejected “the scorched-earth policy” and neither an attack nor a retreat has ever been without such brutality. Why are we raising the issue of the disaster at the Kakhovka hydroelectric dam today? And, even knowing that it is not the first time that such a strategic object becomes a pawn in the brutal plans of Russia? Because this time we are talking about the global ecological and demographic crisis, which, as a middle result, is following the explosion. There are not only thousands of destinies and lives that were mutilated, but also the ecosystem which was destroyed, as well as there are definitely even much bigger consequences that Russia seeks with its attacks, and we are actually going to talk about them in our article.
The use of multiple regression analysis to study the relationship between the amplitudes of EEG rhythms within one derivation with mental retardation
Authors: Lobasyuk B. , Bartsevich L. , Zamkovaya A.
Published: September 2023

Using the calculation of coefficients of multiple linear regression and two-dimensional correlation, we studied the mutual influence (functional connectivity) between the amplitudes of EEG rhythms within one lead in mentally retarded persons. Multiple regression equations were geometrically interpreted using polycyclic multigraphs. As a result of the studies and calculations, it was revealed that with mental retardation, the number of regression coefficients is determined more than in the norm. In the control group of sinistrals, more regression coefficients were detected between the amplitudes of EEG rhythms within one lead than in dextrals. Apparently, the results obtained reflect the features of the network semantic-topological brain. A greater number of regression coefficients within the full lead in dextrals, under normal conditions, was expressed in the sinister hemisphere, and sinistrals in the dextral one. In mentally retarded persons, on the contrary, during the reign, a greater number of regression coefficients appeared in the dextral hemisphere, and in sinistrals (although not significantly) in the sinistral. It can also be assumed that the connections-relationships found in the leads reflect projections in these leads of the EEG rhythm generators. The foregoing makes it possible to consider the regression connections-relations calculated in the analysis of the relationship between the amplitudes of EEG rhythms as units of neurophysiological activity.
Low pelvic incidence with low lordosis and distal apex of lumbar lordosis associated with higher rates of abnormal spinopelvic mobility in patients undergoing THA
Authors: Aubert Thomas , Gerard Philippe , Auberger Guillaume , Rigoulot Guillaume , Riouallon Guillaume
Published: September 2023

Aims

The risk factors for abnormal spinopelvic mobility (SPM), defined as an anterior rotation of the spinopelvic tilt (∆SPT) ≥ 20° in a flexed-seated position, have been described. The implication of pelvic incidence (PI) is unclear, and the concept of lumbar lordosis (LL) based on anatomical limits may be erroneous. The distribution of LL, including a unusual shape in patients with a high lordosis, a low pelvic incidence, and an anteverted pelvis seems more relevant.

Methods

The clinical data of 311 consecutive patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty was retrospectively analyzed. We analyzed the different types of lumbar shapes that can present in patients to identify their potential associations with abnormal pelvic mobility, and we analyzed the potential risk factors associated with a ∆SPT ≥ 20° in the overall population.

Results

ΔSPT ≥ 20° rates were 28.3%, 11.8%, and 14.3% for patients whose spine shape was low PI/low lordosis (group 1), low PI anteverted (group 2), and high PI/high lordosis (group 3), respectively (p = 0.034). There was no association between ΔSPT ≥ 20° and PI ≤ 41° (odds ratio (OR) 2.01 (95% confidence interval (CI)0.88 to 4.62), p = 0.136). In the multivariate analysis, the following independent predictors of ΔSPT ≥ 20° were identified: SPT ≤ -10° (OR 3.49 (95% CI 1.59 to 7.66), p = 0.002), IP-LL ≥ 20 (OR 4.38 (95% CI 1.16 to 16.48), p = 0.029), and group 1 (OR 2.47 (95% CI 1.19; to 5.09), p = 0.0148).

Conclusion

If the PI value alone is not indicative of SPM, patients with a low PI, low lordosis and a lumbar apex at L4-L5 or below will have higher rates of abnormal SPM than patients with a low PI anteverted and high lordosis.

Published: September 2023

No abstract available. Article truncated after 150 words. The American Academy of Emergency Medicine (AAEM) is urging stiffer enforcement of decades-old statutes that prohibit the ownership of medical practices by corporations not owned by licensed doctors (1). These century-old laws and regulations were meant to fight the commercialization of medicine, maintain the independence of physicians, and prioritize the doctor-patient relationship over the interests of investors and shareholders (2). Thirty-three states (click to see list of states that prohibit corporate ownership) plus the District of Columbia have rules on their books against the so-called corporate practice of medicine. In Arizona ownership by nonprofit entities is permitted, however as most of us know, nonprofit healthcare organizations are nonprofit in name only. Furthermore, over the years, companies have successfully sidestepped bans on owning medical practices by buying or establishing local staffing groups that are nominally owned by doctors and restricting the physicians so they have no direct control. Those campaigning for …

Application of expert systems at the stages of design decision making in the creation of organizational and technological systems
Authors:   Odesа Polytechnic National University, Zakharchenko Vitaliy , Oneshko Svitlana ,   Odesa National Maritime University
Published: September 2023

The article reflects the approach to the design of modern organizational and technological systems in industrial production on the principles of general systems theory and systems analysis, structural modeling of innovation projects in high-tech production. We try to solve the problem in conditions of completeness and inconsistency of information. The formalization of decision-making methods for optimizing the construction of organizational and technological systems, which are implemented using expert systems, is considered. The design of such systems is presented as a process of making managerial decisions that are aimed at obtaining a satisfactory technical task with a certain degree of detail of the project in industrial production. Transforming the original description into the final one creates the decomposition of the original description into a set of intermediate descriptions for making intermediate design decisions. Decision-making in most cases is to generate possible alternatives to decisions, evaluate them and choose the best alternative. In such cases, the subjective assessment of a specialist is necessary to overcome the uncertainty. Such a subjective assessment is today the only possible basis for combining disparate parameters of the problem, which is solved in hightech production through a single model that allows you to evaluate solutions. Therefore, the need to use formalized decision-making methods is obvious. Expert systems that use heuristic knowledge are used in cases where it is impossible to formulate a solution to the problem in traditional mathematical terms.

Published: September 2023

This study reviews and examines how Pesantren (Islamic Boarding Schools) exist, starting from the process of organizing, developing, what obstacles are found, up to what strategy is used by the pesantren to develop and maintain its existence. A qualitative approach was used in this study. Data collection from the multiple case studies was through observation, interview and document study. data was analyzed through a reduction process by analyzing each individual case then also analyzed across cases in a cross-case analysis. The data was also checked for validity, reliability and objectivity to ascertain the degree of credibility, dependability and conformability.  The cross-case findings show that pesantren after establishment go through phases that involve the initial process of searching for identity to efforts to maintain existence through a formulated support system. Pesantrens have a unique organizational culture in various aspects and parts and are not the same as other organizational cultures. The process of organizing pesantrens indicated dynamism in the organizational process while adapting more formal administrative and procedural approaches that conform with contemporary organization management models. It was also found that the challenges of pesantren are more from internal factors especially relating to resistance to change and development emanating from the mindset of the leadership. The study reveals the spiritual framework of the founders of pesantrens in pioneering, organizing and developing their institutions.  The novelty of this study lies in its comprehensive examination of pesantren starting from the process of organizing, developing and the strategies used during the development process how they exist, obstacles faced up to the strategies they use to develop and maintain their existence.  The changing environment has compelled pesantren continue to improve and move minds to grow initiatives to keep up with the changes. and incorporate conventional elements into the implementation of their education system as they face a dilemma between changing or dying under pressure from the power of change itself.

Published: September 2023

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been recognized closely linked to cardiovascular diseases including hypertension. The connection between these conditions can be attributed to lipotoxicity, that induces systemic inflammation by activating the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and triggers the release of angiotensin II within the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). This study examined the correlation between degree of steatosis and degree of hypertension in NAFLD patients at Hajj Hospital Jakarta in 2019-2022. A cross-sectional approach was used to analyse the medical record data obtained through consecutive sampling. B-mode abdominal ultrasound examination assessed the degree of steatosis in NAFLD. Blood pressure grading was based on the 2020 International Society of Hypertension (ISH) Global Hypertension Practice Guidelines. The data were processed using Somers’d test to define the correlation between steatosis and hypertension.Of 53 NAFLD subjects, 56.6% were female, and mild steatosis was dominant (54.7%). The proportion of hypertension among NAFLD patients was 39.7%, with a higher prevalence of 61.9% among those aged 50 years or older. Majority of patients were grade I hypertension, whereas all subjects with grade II hypertension exhibited severe steatosis. There was correlation between the degree of hypertension and steatosis patients with NAFLD, with a p-value of 0.029 and a weak correlation coefficient (r= 0.251). This study found a correlation between steatosis and degree of hypertension. It was suggested females aged 50 years or older with grade II hypertension should be screened for fatty liver.

To measure concentrations of toxic elements in analytical systems of ecological monitoring, a generative model of a multicomponent differential signal of stripping chronopotentiometry is used in the coordinates of potentials in time (е, dt/dе) in the form of a model of the capacitive background discharge of electrodes (base curve) and the sum of the models of the stripping components of chemical elements, given by asymmetric normal distribution functions. Identification of elements with slight overlapping of component signals is carried out based on the maximum value and range in which potentials change.

Introduction. Lifelong e-learning (LEL) reflects a global view on the possibility of obtaining educational resources, advice, and experience for the purpose of acquiring knowledge and skills, taking into account the individual needs of a particular person. LEL development issues are not tied to a specific organization and are addressed by creating means and tools to support the continuous development of each individual professionally and personally, using learning resources, technologies and strategies that meet the needs and preferences of that individual. Thus, LEL is implemented by means of e-learning, but LEL research, along with the problems of taking into account the previous experience of users and recommending them educational resources that correspond to their cognitive strategies and the context of application, covers the problems of the development of a global network environment supporting lifelong learning, the transformation of the technological basis of educational processes, sharing and protection of personal data. Purpose. The purpose of this study is to identify and explore the main components and models of lifelong e-learning and to develop an integrated structural model of LEL that will be useful for researching its development and ongoing transformations. Methods. A modified structural model for e-learning by B. Khan is proposed as a basis for integral lifelong e-learning model development. Results. The problem of lifelong learning in the digital dimension was analyzed and its main components were determined. To determine whether e-learning model is appropriate for LEL modeling, the distinct features of e-learning and LEL are determined and compared. The specifics of each component transformation in the modified e-learning model and interrelationships between them are determined. Models of technology development are analyzed and examples of e-learning technologies transformation in the context of LEL are provided. Finally, an integral structural model of LEL intended for the analysis of its development is suggested. Conclusion. As a result of the study, it was proved that LEL has its own specific features and is not reduced to a set of e-learning processes that are implemented at each level or life stage. Khan’s modified structural model, which is the basis of LEL modeling, contains redundant components required only for the model of e-learning in the organization. At the same time, the LEL model should contain a new component that represents a collective user, i.e. all LEL user groups that influence its development. The proposed integrated model of LEL provides a generalized structure with a defined direction of interaction (influence) between individual components and thus not only contributes to the understanding of LEL transformations in the past, but also creates a basis for analyzing trends and building forecasts of LEL development in the future.
