Jongdementie

Published: January 2025

Jongdementie komt veel minder vaak voor dan dementie op latere leeftijd, maar de aandoening heeft wel haar eigen uitdagingen. Voorbeelden hiervan zijn de moeilijke diagnose door atypische symptomen, de impact van de aandoening op het werk, het sociale leven en het gezin, en zorg die gericht is op een oudere populatie, en dus niet goed is afgestemd op de behoeften van jongere patiënten. Belangrijk is dat mensen met Alzheimer een beroep kunnen doen op een coherente en geïntegreerde zorg. In zijn nieuwe studie formuleert het Federaal Kenniscentrum voor de Gezondheidszorg (KCE) aanbevelingen voor de praktische organisatie ervan. In plaats van het aantal zorgpaden te vermeerderen, beveelt het vooral aan om de middelen voor de latere vormen van dementie, aan te passen aan de jongere patiëntengroep.

Published: January 2025

Le Centre fédéral d’expertise pour les soins de santé (KCE) a réalisé en collaboration avec l’INAMI et l’Agence Intermutualiste, une étude sur l’intérêt médical, le rapport coût-efficacité et l’impact budgétaire attendu d’un élargissement des indications d’implantation d’un défibrillateur cardiaque. Cet appareil est de plus en plus souvent implanté chez des personnes qui, après coup, ne semblent ne pas en avoir besoin. Le KCE a calculé que ces défibrillateurs cardiaques coûteraient à long terme plus de 150 million d’euros par an, soit près d’1% du budget total de l’assurance maladie.

Vacuümgeassisteerde Wondbehandeling
Authors: Vlayen Joan , Camberlin Cécile , Ramaekers Dirk
Published: January 2025

Op vraag van het RIZIV onderzocht het Federaal Kenniscentrum voor de Gezondheidszorg (KCE) de werkzaamheid, veiligheid en kostenefficiëntie van vacuümgeassisteerde wondbehandeling (soms ook VAC genoemd) als alternatief voor de klassieke wondbehandeling. Het onderzoek stelt vast dat de werkzaamheid niet bewezen is. De techniek lijkt wel veelbelovend voor zorgvuldig geselecteerde patiënten, maar niet voor alle chronische wonden. Het KCE ziet geen reden om deze behandeling af te raden, maar vraagt wel goede gecontroleerde klinische studies.
Traitement de plaies par pression négative

Published: January 2025

A la demande de l’INAMI, le KCE a étudié l’efficacité, la sécurité et le rapport coût-efficacité du traitement de plaies par pression négative (aussi appelé cicatrisation assistée par le vide) en alternative au traitement classique de celles ci. L’étude arrive à la conclusion que l’efficacité de cette nouvelle thérapie n’est pas prouvée. Elle semble prometteuse chez des patients bien sélectionnés mais pas chez tous les patients présentant des plaies chroniques. Le KCE ne voit aucune raison de déconseiller ce traitement mais souligne que des études cliniques bien contrôlées sont encore nécessaires.

Published: January 2025

Voor de behandeling van vernauwingen van de kransslagaders zijn er sinds enkele jaren buiten de klassieke metalen stents ook speciale stents beschikbaar die een geneesmiddel bevatten. Het geneesmiddel zou moeten verhinderen dat er terug een vernauwing optreedt. Het Federaal Kenniscentrum voor de Gezondheidszorg (KCE) en de Universiteit Antwerpen bekeken de werkzaamheid en de kosteneffectiviteit van deze nieuwe stents. Het blijkt dat ze het risico op overlijden of op een hartinfarct niet verlagen. Er is iets minder kans op een nieuwe vernauwing, maar dit slechts voor een beperkt aantal patiënten. Ze kosten wel meer dan het dubbele van de klassieke stents.

Die geplante Einführung eines nordrhein-westfälischen Versammlungsgesetzes war Anlass für die Gründung des Bündnisses „Versammlungsgesetz NRW stoppen – Grundrechte erhalten!“ und einer gleichnamigen Demonstration am 26.06.2021. Bei der Versammlung wurden zwei Journalisten von Polizeikräften verletzt und 338 Teilnehmende über mehrere Stunden ‚eingekesselt‘. Während ersteres für einen medialen Aufschrei und politische Stellungnahmen bis hin zum Ministerpräsidenten sorgte, beschäftigte zweiteres in den Folgejahren die Verwaltungsgerichtsbarkeit. Mit den Urteilen des VG Düsseldorf vom 10.04.2024 fand die gerichtliche Aufarbeitung ihren – zumindest erstinstanzlichen – Abschluss. Die Entscheidung lässt eine Absenkung der Anforderungen an Polizeikessel bei Versammlungen befürchten. Sie wirft insbesondere hinsichtlich des Zeitpunkts des polizeilichen Einschreitens sowie der Inanspruchnahme von Versammlungsteilnehmenden als Anscheinsstörer:innen Fragen auf, denen im Folgenden nachgegangen werden soll.
Heterologous Embryo Transfer
Authors: Ramirez Nicholas M. ,   The National Catholic Bioethics Center
Published: January 2025

In this paper, I will argue that heterologous embryo transfer (HET) is malum in se because it involves a disordered use of a woman’s gestative faculty. Against most HET opponents, I will argue for and defend the distinction between the generative faculty or procreation and the gestative faculty or gestation, grounded in St. Thomas Aquinas’s explanation for how faculties are distinguished. Against the advocates of HET, I will argue that a thorough analysis of the gestative faculty and its natural object will help us to demonstrate why HET constitutes a disordered (and therefore illicit) use of a woman’s gestative faculty.

Clinical and Subclinical Hypothyroidism And Its Effects on Dyslipidemia: As Narrative Review
Authors: Matshar Eman. K. , Atyah Ban Samary , Abed Emaduldeen Hatem
Published: January 2025

The literature on the connection between dyslipidemia, clinical and subclinical hypothyroidism is critically analyzed in this narrative review. These conditions are frequently observed among adult populations and various studies and meta-analyses have assessed their association. Hypothyroidism (Clinical and subclinical) is frequently associated with higher serum levels of total cholesterol, LDL-C and triglycerides. Thyroid hormones (TH) has an effects on the production, clearance and transformation of cholesterol, however, recent studies suggest that thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) also participates in lipid metabolism independently of TH. Therefore, the mechanism of hypothyroidism-related dyslipidemia is associated with the decrease of TH and the increase of TSH levels. Some newly identified regulatory factors, such as proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9, angiogenin-like proteins and fibroblast growth factors are the underlying causes of dyslipidemia in hypothyroidism. HDL serum concentration changes were not consistent, and its function was reportedly impaired. The current review focuses on the updated understanding of the mechanism of hypothyroidism-related dyslipidemia.

Authors: Hafiz Abdul Rehman Saleem  , Kaunain Iftikhar  , Ali Bukhtiar  , Babar Zaheer  , Kashif Javed
Published: January 2025

This study aims at examining political trust, protest attitude and death penalty support among people of Pakistan. The cross-sectional survey research design allows for using quantitative data collected through the survey and secondary data use mixed method to test the hypothesis that political trust in institutions and protest participation will significantly predict attitudes towards capital punishment. The results confirm that people with low levels of political trust are more likely to approve of the death penalty because for them violent measures are inevitable due to political turmoil and insecurity. Moreover, participants of political protest exhibit higher support for capital punishment, thus bearing relations between political activism and myriad punishment. The research also finds that political factors have great influence on the opinions of the people, where right-wing political supporters and people of rural area have higher percentage of supporting death penalty. In the broader setting of political science, this study adds to knowledge regarding the relationship between political trust and policy preferences in a developing democracy especially in an acutely polarized society such as that of Pakistan. The study also highlights the need for a political makeover in relation to demanding for open and accountable system of government in a bid to demoralize discontent and rejection of authoritarianism. The study offers practical recommendations for policymakers since it indicates the need to restore people’s confidence in political institutions and promoting the political system’s comprehensiveness and openness to prevent the population from shifting toward increased punitiveness. It is suggested to conduct future studies to examine whether political trust is associated with other social factors, including religious beliefs and economic disparity to identify the Pakistan public policy preferences.

Comprehensive Approach of Hospital Role in Managing Non-Comunicable Disease
Authors: Afifudin Lutfi , Rosa Elsye Maria
Published: January 2025

Health problems classified as non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are those that cannot be spread from one person to another directly. With 41 million fatalities annually, or 71 percent of all deaths globally, these illnesses rank as the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. 15 million individuals between the ages of 30 and 69 die from non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The most common cause of NCD fatalities is cardiovascular disease, which is followed by cancer, respiratory conditions, and diabetes. Hospitals are crucial to the management of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in a number of ways, including palliative care, treatment, screening, and detection. The purpose of this study is to examine hospitals' involvement in NCD management. The scoping review technique, a methodical approach and selection procedure, is employed in this study. The last ten years' worth of publications from national and international databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Ebsco/Springer, are searched for literature sources. According to the study's findings, hospitals, as health service institutions, play a part in global health diplomacy (GHD), or a negotiated process of collective action for global health. This includes three types of diplomacy: informal diplomacy, which takes the form of interactions between international public health actors and their partners, such as officials from the host country, non-governmental organizations, private businesses, and the community, and core diplomacy, which takes the form of formal negotiations between countries. Multi-stakeholder diplomacy is defined as talks between countries and other actors that don't always result in agreement.

En el ámbito de la educación superior, los modelos pedagógicos tradicionales han sido objeto de críticas debido a su limitada eficacia para promover la participación activa de los estudiantes y facilitar un aprendizaje profundo y significativo. En este contexto, el modelo de aula invertida se ha consolidado como una estrategia pedagógica innovadora que transforma el paradigma convencional, al transferir el proceso de adquisición de contenidos teóricos al entorno extra clase y focalizar las sesiones presenciales en actividades prácticas, colaborativas y basadas en la reflexión. crítica. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar la efectividad del modelo de aula invertida en la educación superior como una estrategia pedagógica que fomenta la participación activa de los estudiantes, promueva el aprendizaje significativo y facilita el desarrollo de competencias críticas esenciales, como el pensamiento analítico, la resolución de problemas y la colaboración. La implementación del modelo de aula invertida se abordó mediante un estudio que incluyó una revisión detallada de la literatura sobre esta estrategia pedagógica y su efecto en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. La implementación del modelo de aula invertida en la educación superior tiene un impacto positivo en la participación activa de los estudiantes, ya que fomenta un entorno de aprendizaje más interactivo y autónomo. Al cambiar el enfoque tradicional, donde el profesor es el principal transmisor de información, el aula invertida permite que los estudiantes asuman un rol activo, realizando actividades previas al aula que les permiten llegar mejor preparados y más comprometidos con el contenido.

Authors: Saputri Istika Indah , Arismunandar Arismunandar , Herman Herman , Mustafa Mustafa
Published: January 2025

The lack of motivation of children to learn numeracy is due to the tools used in delivering material that are not interesting, teachers always use worksheets, the methods used by teachers are less varied, teachers' creativity in utilizing the materials around them is still lacking so that children feel bored and tend to play alone without paying attention to the material presented by the teacher. Therefore, researchers will use loosepart media to improve children's numeracy development. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach that aims to determine the level of numeracy development through loose part media in children aged 5-6 years in kindergarten. The subjects of this study are teachers and students of class B6 and the informants of this research are principals and teachers. Data collection techniques use observation, interviews, and documentation. The data validity technique uses source triangulation and triangulation techniques. Data analysis techniques use data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawn. The results of the study show that the application of loose part media to improve the numeracy development of children aged 5-6 years in kindergarten has been carried out through learning activities. Factors that support the application of loosepart media to improve children's numeracy development include natural factors, cognitive development factors, social background factors, learning motivation factors, teacher development factors, facilities and infrastructure factors, while the factors that hinder are environmental factors and teacher development factors.
Elon Musk’s Wake-up Call for Europe
Authors: Moser Carolyn , Hempel Laurids
Published: January 2025

Viewing Elon Musk’s recent forays into (electoral) politics in Europe primarily as a geopolitical wake-up call to European leaders, our analysis focuses on the promise and relative weaknesses of law and policy solutions as well as institutional arrangements the EU has put in place to protect European democracies from foreign interference. The EU and its Member States must adapt quickly to the new international realities if they do not want to be norm-takers rather than norm-shapers on major international dossiers.
KNOWLEDGE AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT IN THE COMPANY AS A STRATEGIC BUSINESS RESOURCE
Authors: Mihajlović Milan , Marković Svetlana , Vujanić Ivana , P. Marijanović Ranko , Hemed Ramadhani Issa
Published: January 2025

The beginning of this century brought profound changes in the approach to strategic management, as companies faced a faster pace of change in the environment, as well as an increased volume of information and knowledge. While managers previously made strategic decisions within the framework of a limited amount of information, today they are expected to effectively manage knowledge, both organizational and competitive. Organizational knowledge management has become a key factor in making the right decisions and achieving competitive advantages. It includes not only collecting and analyzing data, but also the ability to use knowledge in the right way, through innovation, process improvement and rapid adaptation to market changes. Top management must now integrate knowledge management into strategic management in order to ensure the long-term growth and sustainability of the organization. Given that knowledge management requires the engagement of key people within the organization to carry out this process, managers are facing new challenges. Managerial competencies are becoming the focal point of this transformation. Increasing the individual competencies of each manager becomes necessary so that the organization can function as a whole that effectively uses its knowledge. In addition, the development of managerial competencies must be directed towards the management of different types of knowledge – from tacit (informal, experiential) to explicit (formal documentation and procedures), and enable synergy between these types. The development of managerial competencies and knowledge management are not separate processes, but take place in parallel. Managers must constantly improve their abilities in order to be able to effectively manage different aspects of knowledge, while the organization must develop the capacity to quickly transfer and apply new knowledge in daily operations and strategic planning.
Criminal penalties for company board members for misuse of company funds
Authors: Almutairi Osama , Bitar Mustafa
Published: January 2025

The study aims to analyze and compare the texts of criminalization and punishment for the criminal liability of members of the company's board of directors in the Saudi and Emirati systems. And to distinguish the crime of misuse of company funds from other crimes of corporate funds, which the Saudi and Emirati regulators have introduced and set penalties for, including the crime of misuse of company funds, the crime of distributing fictitious profits, the crime of fraudulent bankruptcy, and the crime of abuse of authority and votes in the company. Despite the differences in the methods of committing them, they fall within one scope, which is the misuse of company funds. Hence, the importance of the study comes in that it seeks to determine who is responsible for crimes committed in the name of the company. The problem of the study is represented in the following question: What is the criminal liability of members of the board of directors of companies for the misuse of funds in the Saudi and Emirati systems? The study reached a set of results, the most important of which is that the Saudi and Emirati systems did not use the term misuse of funds, but rather used the use of company funds against the interests of the company to express the crime, but this crime was known in criminal jurisprudence by two names, which are; The crime of misuse of company funds and the crime of abuse of company funds. The two systems agreed on the punishment of imprisonment for a period not exceeding three years for the crime of misuse of funds, and the two systems differed in the estimated fine, as the Saudi commercial system is considered higher in fine. The UAE legislator also agreed with the Saudi regulator on the necessity of the availability of the special criminal intent represented in the use of company funds to achieve personal interest.
