The effect of general practice team composition and climate on staff and patient experiences: a systematic review
Authors: Abrams Ruth , Jones Bridget , Campbell John , de Lusignan Simon , Peckham Stephen , Gage Heather
Published: October 2023

Background

Recent policy initiatives seeking to address the workforce crisis in general practice have promoted greater multidisciplinarity. Evidence is lacking on how changes in staffing and the relational climate in practice teams affect the experiences of staff and patients.

Aim

To synthesise evidence on how the composition of the practice workforce and team climate affect staff job satisfaction and burnout, and the processes and quality of care for patients.

Design & setting

A systematic literature review of international evidence.

Method

Four different searches were carried out using MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Web of Science. Evidence from English language articles from 2012–2022 was identified, with no restriction on study design. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed and data were synthesised thematically.

Results

In total, 11 studies in primary healthcare settings were included, 10 from US integrated healthcare systems, one from Canada. Findings indicated that when teams are understaffed and work environments are stressful, patient care and staff wellbeing suffer. However, a good relational climate can buffer against burnout and protect patient care quality in situations of high workload. Good team dynamics and stable team membership are important for patient care coordination and job satisfaction. Female physicians are at greater risk of burnout.

Conclusion

Evidence regarding team composition and team climate in relation to staff and patient outcomes in general practice remains limited. Challenges exist when drawing conclusions across different team compositions and definitions of team climate. Further research is needed to explore the conditions that generate a ‘good’ climate.
Une inscription funéraire chrétienne provenant de la chapelle Saint-Frambour à Ivry-sur-Seine (Val-de-Marne )
Authors: Ardouin Stéphane
Published: October 2023

Les fouilles préventives menées entre 1988 et 1994 autour de la place Parmentier à Ivry-sur-Seine ont mis au jour une succession d’occupations depuis l’Âge du Fer. À l’époque mérovingienne, une nécropole s’installe sur les ruines de bâtiments du Bas Empire. Les inhumations s’y poursuivent durant le Moyen Âge. Au XIIe siècle est construite la chapelle Saint-Frambour, sur l’emplacement légendaire de l’ermitage de Frambaldus.

L’épitaphe chrétienne d’un enfant, datable selon toute vraisemblance entre la fin du IVe et le VIe siècle, gravée sur un élément d’architecture, permet de s’interroger sur l’éventualité de l’existence d’un sanctuaire chrétien, peut-être à l’origine de la chapelle. L’emplacement privilégié pour les inhumations, au sein des ruines antiques, pourrait indiquer la réutilisation de ces murs pour une chapelle funéraire. Les données issues de la fouille ne permettent pas de préciser la nature et l’importance de l’habitat avant la période carolingienne.
La charpente de la grange abbatiale de Maubuisson (Saint-Ouen-l'Aumône, Val-d’Oise)
Authors: Dietrich Anne , Gaultier Matthieu
Published: October 2023

The roof framework of the Maubuisson Abbey bam (Saint-Ouen-VAumone, Val-d’Oise). The Maubuisson abbey bam, founded in 1237, is situated at Saint-Ouen-l’Aumone in the Val-d’Oise department. Its recent restoration by the "Monuments Historiques" provided the opportunity of studying the southern roof panel. Structural analysis of the roof space confirmed the old age of the building. Dendrochronology and a mention in the building accounts give precisions on both chronological and spatial innovations. This interpretative research, along with a complementary study of carpenter’s marks, enables us to approach the organisation of a medieval building site, and to propose an analysis of the significance of such marks. The excellent state of preservation of this wooden building offers a significative correlation between the typology of a large sized roof framework, the knowledge necessary for its conception, and the technology hence used in the first half of the century.
La charpente de la cathédrale Notre-Dame de Rouen
Authors: Epaud Frédéric
Published: October 2023

Das Gebälk der Kathedrale Notre-Dame zu Rouen. Die Untersuchung des ursprünglichen Gebälks der gotischen Kathedrale zu Rouen ermöglichte es, die Wiederverwendung des Balkenwerks der romanischen Kathedrale nachzuweisen. Seine dank umfassender Erhebungen durchgeführte Restitution dieser Holzbalken zeigt einerseits eine perfekte Beherrschung der im XII. Jahrhundert geltenden isostatischen Gesetze und andererseits das Vorhandensein romanischer tragender Mauern. Die Wiederverwendung einer grossen Menge dieser Hozbalken widerspricht der offiziellen These einer völligen Zerstörung der Kathedrale im Jahre 1200 ; demnach kann auch die Untersuchung des Balkenwerks für die Geschichte der Baudenkmäler unter einem neuen Licht betrachtet werden. Die Analyse der Baustrukturen des XIII. Jahrhunderts tragt dazu bei, sowohl die Entwicklung der Zimmerhandwerkstechniken als auch die Anpassung des Balkenwerks an die gotische Bauweise besser zu verstehen ; wertvoll ist auch die Untersuchung der Verteilung der Belastungen, der Verbandstücke und ihrer Markierungen, die die Organisation des Bauhofes aufzeigen sowie die Art und Weise der Fixierung der ursprünglichen Bleiplatten.

Agripreneurship for Sustainable Economic Development in India
Authors: Arumugam U , Manida M
Published: October 2023

Agripreneurship, the integration of entrepreneurship principles into the agriculture sector, has emerged as a transformative approach towards achieving sustainable economic development in India. This paper explores the concept of agripreneurship and its potential to address the complex challenges faced by the Indian economy, including rural unemployment, food security, and environmental sustainability. India’s agrarian economy is characterized by a significant rural population engaged in agriculture, yet plagued by low productivity, fragmented land holdings, and lack of access to modern technology. Agripreneurship offers a promising solution by encouraging farmers to adopt innovative practices, value-addition techniques, and market-oriented approaches. By becoming agripreneurs, farmers can not only enhance their income but also contribute to overall economic growth. Sustainable economic development necessitates the integration of social, environmental, and economic dimensions. Agripreneurship aligns with this goal by promoting sustainable agricultural practices that minimize environmental degradation, conserve natural resources, and promote biodiversity. Moreover, it can help bridge the urban-rural divide by generating employment opportunities in rural areas, reducing migration to cities, and revitalizing local economies. This paper reviews successful agripreneurship models and initiatives from across India, highlighting the factors that have contributed to their effectiveness. It also discusses the challenges that aspiring agripreneurs might face, such as limited access to finance, lack of training and technical know-how, and inadequate market linkages. Government policies, non-governmental organizations, and private sector collaborations play a crucial role in creating an enabling environment for agripreneurship to flourish. Furthermore, the paper delves into the role of education and research in promoting agripreneurship. Educational institutions can design specialized curricula that combine agricultural knowledge with business acumen, nurturing a new generation of agripreneurs. Research efforts can focus on developing context-specific innovations, crop diversification, and sustainable land management techniques. In conclusion, agripreneurship has the potential to drive sustainable economic development in India by rejuvenating the agriculture sector. By fostering innovation, enhancing livelihoods, and safeguarding the environment, agripreneurship can pave the way for a more resilient and inclusive economy. However, its successful implementation requires concerted efforts from various stakeholders, including policymakers, financial institutions, academia, and the farming community.

Se o negro, com sua farta tradição cultural, fora marginalizado, o que dizer das minorias, como exemplo o grupo LGBTS+, mulheres, ex-escravos, que levariam pelo resto da vida a invalidez perambulando pelas ruas? Nessa ótica, a coletânea é um grito contra o esquecimento, contra o paradigma tradicional da história, que vem mudando, haja vista os estudos de escritores negros enfatizando uma nova visão a respeito da cultura negra; uma excelente literatura traz para a ordem do dia a necropolítica, a decolonização etc. Estudos sobre gênero já são uma realidade, colocando por terra a sexualidade como uma simples questão ligada ao órgão sexual. As “minorias” precisam se fazer maioria para que assim a História contemple o que é da alçada da cultura humana.

Władza parlamentu do stanowienia i interpretowania prawa – kontrowersje wokół wykładni autentycznej ustaw
Authors: Stefaniuk Małgorzata Ewa
Published: October 2023

CEL NAUKOWY: Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie kontrowersji wokół uprawnienia władzy ustawodawczej do dokonywania wykładni autentycznej w warunkach demokratycznego państwa prawnego i obowiązywania konstytucyjnych zasad: podziału władzy i legalizmu.
PROBLEM I METODY BADAWCZE: W artykule postawiono następujące pytania: Czy argumenty na poparcie tezy o niedopuszczalności wykładni autentycznej ze względu na jej sprzeczność z zasadą podziału władzy i zasadą legalizmu są dostatecznie przekonywujące? Czy parlament może dokonywać interpretacji tworzonego przez siebie prawa za pomocą innych konstrukcji prawnych? W artykule zastosowano metodę analizy literatury przedmiotu, orzecznictwa sądowego oraz analizę dogmatyczno-prawną i metodę porównawczą.
PROCES WYWODU: Zaprezentowano istotę wykładni autentycznej, by następnie przejść do wykładni autentycznej ustaw. Dokonano krytycznej analizy argumentów podnoszonych przeciwko zasadności funkcjonowania wykładni autentycznej w demokratycznym państwie prawnym. Przedstawione zostały również konstrukcje prawne uważane za postaci wykładni autentycznej ustaw.
WYNIKI ANALIZY NAUKOWEJ: Podnoszona współcześnie sprzeczność wykładni autentycznej z zasadą podziału władzy i zasadą legalizmu nie jest dostatecznie przekonywująca. Wydaje się, że jako postaci wykładni autentycznej mogą występować definicje legalne, preambuły i uzasadnienia projektów ustaw, chociaż niektórzy autorzy opracowań stoją na stanowisku, iż nie należy tych konstrukcji prawnych łączyć z pojęciem wykładni autentycznej.
WNIOSKI, INNOWACJE, REKOMENDACJE: Problematyka wykładni autentycznej generuje wiele interesujących kwestii również w relacjach teorii prawa z dogmatyką prawa czy teorii prawa i orzecznictwa. To, czy definicje legalne, preambuły i materiały legislacyjne są postaciami wykładni autentycznej, zależy od przyjętych założeń badawczych.
Genesis and key elements of the mechanism of digital transformation of industrial enterprises
Authors: Gileva T. A. , Khussamov R. R.
Published: October 2023

Aim. To study the peculiarities of different approaches to the construction of the mechanism of digital transformation of industrial enterprises and to identify the key elements, the creation and (or) development of which is necessary for the realisation of successful digital transformation.

Tasks. To study the Russian and world experience in the field of building the mechanism of  digital transformation of enterprises; to generalise and systematise various approaches; to form an integral set of key elements, the transformation of which is necessary to ensure competitiveness in the digital environment.

Methods. The subject of the study are mechanisms, models and methods of digital transformation of enterprises developed by large global and Russian companies, mainly consulting companies. The analysis takes into account the presence of a clear system of principles (priorities), substantive aspects, structuring of various mechanisms by stages and elements of digital transformation, the level of specificity of proposed solutions, as well as additional features (for example, the presence of a model for assessing the digital maturity of the enterprise).

Results. The key elements of the mechanism of digital transformation of an industrial enterprise are identified: digital strategy, business model, digital core and digital technologies, operating model, people and organisational culture, orchestration. It is shown that when developing a digital strategy, it is necessary to maximise the use of the enterprise’s competitive advantages (e.g., developed partner network, unique equipment and technologies, a wide range of goods and services, customer databases, etc.), as well as ecosystem opportunities. To increase the flexibility of the strategy, it is proposed to focus on the concept of strategic priorities. Emphasis is placed on the importance of aligning digital strategy with the operating model of an industrial enterprise. As a promising direction of digital transformation, the creation of a “digital core” of the enterprise, which unites all information systems, applications, services and data through the cloud in order to integrate technological and organisational aspects of digital transformation across the entire value chain, including partners and customers, is highlighted.

Conclusions. The presented developments can serve as a reference point for managers of industrial enterprises developing and implementing digital transformation programmes.

Authors: Babkin A. V. , Egorov N. E.
Published: October 2023

Aim. To conduct a rating assessment of digital transformation managers (DTM), as well as to identify the relationship between the DTM score and indicators of gross regional product (GRP), budget expenditures on information and communication technologies (ICT) in the conditions of sustainable ESG-development of the economy.

Tasks. To show that in modern conditions one of the most important factors in the formation of the digital economy of regions and their digital transformation is the strategic management of sustainable ESG-development of economic entities; to perform a rating assessment of the level of RCT of regions and establish its dependence on GRP and ICT-costs; to offer practical recommendations to the criteria for assessing RCT.

Methods. The research is based on the application of standard methods of collecting and processing statistical data from open sources and correlation analysis.

Results. In modern conditions, one of the most important factors in the formation of digital economy of regions and their digital transformation is the strategic management of sustainable ESG-development of economic entities. The necessity to develop a strategy of digital transformation of the region’s economic model, which should be based on strategic management of sustainable ESG-development of cyber-physical and cyber-social enterprises and ecosystems, including cluster-type. It is shown that at the end of 2022 the leading places in the RCT rating among all subjects of the Russian Federation (RF) are occupied by Tatarstan, Belgorod, Tula regions and Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug. In 2021, significant amounts of budget funds for ICTcosts, compared to other subjects of the Russian Federation, are allocated in megacities — Moscow and St. Petersburg. A linear correlation between the level of RCT and GRP indicators, budget expenditures on ICT was established. A significant influence of the criterion “IT industry support measures” on the assessment of responsible RCT in the regions was revealed.

Conclusions. Under the conditions of economic sanctions, including restrictions on the supply of high-tech products, the processes of modernization in the field of digital technologies and accelerated implementation of software import substitution will be reflected in further assessments of RCTs of federal ministries and constituent entities of the Russian Federation. It is recommended to take into account the ESG-development indicators of economic entities and the level of professional training in the field of digital technologies in the criteria for rating RCTs.
Objective limitations of the current vector of ESG-transition development
Authors: Denisov M. V.
Published: October 2023

Aim. To identify objective reasons for the slowdown of ESG-transition, as well as a list of risks and limitations of the current vector of development of the climate agenda, which are often ignored by developers of “green” standards and taxonomies.

Tasks. To evaluate ESG transition initiatives during the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic; to identify non-obvious barriers and constraints to ESG transition; and to uncover the reasons that have shaped the current vector of the climate agenda.

Methods. The study is based on the analysis of empirical data. Their processing showed that ideas of the international climate agenda are often broadcast regarding the ESG topic, but there are very few critical articles and reviews about it.

Results. The current vector of development of the climate agenda is primarily conditioned by the goals of its initiators - international economic organizations. These include the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Trade Organization (WTO). The propagated notions of global environmental crises that future generations will inevitably face unless measures are taken to facilitate the transition to sustainable development are only a political tool for competing in the hydrocarbon market. Given the lack of strong technological solutions, investments in green assets can be seen as high-risk given their speculative nature.

Conclusions. Despite the priorities of the global economic agenda, there are doubts about its integrity, as it fails to take into account a number of constraints and circumstances, including failure to take into account the scale of the raw material strain required to transform the global energy system; the lack of technologies to efficiently process large volumes of retired so-called renewable energy sources; the lack of energy technologies for which demand is not yet evident; and the “rebound” effect, i.e. the question of what happens next. As a result, market participants often use so-called greenwashing (or “green camouflage”) to formally meet the requirements, or rather, to portray the “greenness” of their technology/products.
On the impact of sanctions on the financial sovereignty of Russia and the formation of its model
Authors: Sintsova E. A. , Zvyagina E. M.
Published: October 2023

Aim.To identify the key stages of sanctions pressure on Russia and the formation of the financial sovereignty model.

Tasks.To identify the main stages of sanctions pressure on the Russian economy; to identify general regularities and key stages of sanctions against the Russian Federation (RF); to develop a functional model of Russia’s financial sovereignty.

Methods.In the present study with the application of general scientific methods, as well as systemic and comparative approaches, statistical analysis, the peculiarities of formation and establishment of financial sovereignty of Russia are considered.

Results.The stages of sanctions pressure on Russia are systematized. It is shown that the most important prerequisite for the creation of financial sovereignty were the sanctions imposed on Russia. The conclusion about the impact of sanctions on the domestic economy is substantiated. It is shown that the components of financial sovereignty form a functional model with feedback, and this determines the possibilities for further research. The results of this study can be used to develop new approaches to the formation of financial sovereignty in Russia, to improve the efficiency of interaction of elements in the system.

Conclusions.The main drivers of the formation of financial sovereignty were the sanctions imposed against the Russian Federation. At the same time, the impact of sanctions will be weakened due to the financial policy of the state.

Jaynes Machine: The universal microstructure of deep neural networks
Authors: Venkatasubramanian Venkat
Published: October 2023

We present a novel theory of the microstructure of deep neural networks. Using a theoretical framework called \textit{statistical teleodynamics}, which is a conceptual synthesis of statistical thermodynamics and potential game theory, we predict that all highly connected layers of deep neural networks have a universal microstructure of connection strengths that is distributed lognormally ($LN (\mu, \sigma$)). Furthermore, under ideal conditions, the theory predicts that $\mu$ and $\sigma$ are the same for all layers in all networks. This is shown to be the result of an arbitrage equilibrium where all connections compete and contribute the same effective utility towards the minimization of the overall loss function. These surprising predictions are shown to be supported by empirical data from six large-scale deep neural networks in real life. We also discuss how these results can be exploited to reduce the amount of data, time, and computational resources needed to train large deep neural networks. 
Increased Resource Utilization Through Sharing as Analyzed Using a Random Walk with an Absorbing Barrier
Authors: Strakhov Nicholas
Published: October 2023

A computer program was built to model a random walk that represents utilization of a limited set of items by a group of servers for  their customers. An example is the use of ventelators (items) for very sick patients (customers)  by hospitals (servers). Some hospitals amy run out of ventilators while others may have extras if a common pool of ventilators is not employed. The simulation showed a 5% improvement in one of the cases studied. A theoretical model was developed that displayed very accurate prediction of the simulation results.
Uncertainty Modeling in Multimodal Understanding and Generation via Probability Distribution Encoders
Authors: Wang Junjie
Published: October 2023

In the field of multimodal semantic understanding, tackling inherent uncertainties is essential for mitigating ambiguous interpretations across multiple targets. This paper introduces the Probability Distribution Encoder (PDE), a versatile, plug-and-play module that utilizes sequence-level and feature-level interactions to model these uncertainties as probabilistic distributions. We demonstrate its adaptability by seamlessly integrating PDE into established frameworks, culminating in models like SWINPDE. Compared to previous methods, our probabilistic approach substantially enriches multimodal semantic understanding. We incorporate this uncertainty modeling into prevalent pre-training architectures and propose specialized pre-training tasks: Distribution-based Vision-Language Contrastive Learning (D-VLC), Distribution-based Masked Language Modeling (D-MLM), and Distribution-based Image-Text Matching (D-ITM). 

Empirical tests show that our models achieve state-of-the-art (SoTA) results in a range of downstream tasks, including image-text retrieval, visual question answering, visual reasoning, visual entailment and video captioning. Furthermore, our qualitative results reveal several superior properties conferred by this uncertainty modeling, such as enhanced semantic expressiveness compared to point representations, and the ability to generate diverse yet accurate predictions.

Published: October 2023

This paper presents a novel loss function referred to as hybrid ordinary-Welsch (HOW) and a new sparsity-inducing regularizer associated with HOW. We theoretically show that the regularizer is quasiconvex and that the corresponding Moreau envelope is convex. Moreover, the closed-form solution to its Moreau envelope, namely, the proximity operator, is derived. Compared with nonconvex regularizers like the lp-norm with 0

The design of metasurfaces and metasurface-based devices (e.g. reflective intelligent surfaces - RIS) is inherently affected by unpredictable variations of the unit-cell response, due, for instance, to fabrication tolerances, physical discontinuities, presence of bumps, etc. Such effects may dramatically affect the accuracy of the conventional design models, such as the one based on the local surface impedance (LSI). In this work, we present a statistical model resulting in a probability density function that allows defining a random local surface impedance (rLSI), that takes properly into account potential random variations derived from the von Mises distribution. To compensate for these variations, we propose a transformation kernel that matches the expected rLSI value to the design target. By using an analytical formulation and a proper set of full-wave simulations, we demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the method against unpredictable variations caused by the mutual coupling among the unit-cells and fabrication tolerances/errors. The proposed method paves the way to foster advancements in realistic metasurface engineering.
