Preoperative Warming to Improve Patient Outcomes: Implementation of a Warming Protocol
Authors:   , Switzer-Houston Tiara
Published: April 2024

Practice Problem: Inadvertent perioperative hypothermia (IPH) is noted to be the most common surgical complication. IPH is associated with a variety of complications which are known to impact the well-being of the patient, family, and healthcare system. PICOT: The PICOT question that guided this scholarly project was scheduled for total hip and knee arthroplasty surgical procedures under general or neuraxial anesthesia greater than 60 minutes (P), how effective is the implementation of an evidence-based pre-surgical warming protocol including forced-air warming (FAW) (I) compared to current practices (C) in improving normothermia readings within 15 minutes of arriving to the PACU, reducing intensity of IPH, and increasing nursing adherence to protocol (O) over 6 weeks (T). Evidence: The current evidence demonstrates that the implementation of pre-warming patients has been found to consistently reduce the amount of time a patient spent in hypothermia. The research indicated that the use of FAW more effectively maintained normal patient core body temperature and reduced incidents of IPH or length of which patient experienced hypothermia. All the studies showed that despite pre-warming, IPH could not be prevented completely. However, patients that received pre-warming reached normal body temperature in shorter times and experienced decreased magnitude of hypothermia. Intervention: The implementation involved the creation of a pre-operative warming protocol tailored to patients identified as being high-risk for IPH, incorporating the use of FAW. Staff nurses were trained to utilize this protocol for identifying and administering the most appropriate pre-operative warming interventions. Outcome: The results from the project indicated a significant clinical improvement in normothermia rates upon arrival to the PACU, with all patients exhibiting body temperatures exceeding 96.8°F upon immediate admission to recovery. Additionally, the findings demonstrated a reduction in the incidence of IPH throughout the perioperative pathway. Conclusion: The change project was designed with the primary objective of mitigating incidence of IPH through implementing a comprehensive preoperative protocol, specifically using FAW for high-risk patients. The aim was to enhance overall patient outcomes and minimize the occurrence of associated surgical complications. This initiative reflects a proactive approach toward improving perioperative care and ensuring better patient safety and well-being.

Published: April 2024

Aluminum-containing austenitic steels (AFA steels), which may be promising for use as structural materials in nuclear reactors with liquid metal coolant, are investigated. Six ingots of alloys with variable aluminum content were obtained by the method of arc melting in an inert environment. After homogenizing annealing and cold deformation by rolling, samples for mechanical tests and structural investigaion were made from the obtained strips, which were subjected to final annealing at the temperature standard for austenitic steels of 1050 °С. It was found that the maximum values of the yield strength and the ultimate tensile strength are observed at the aluminum content of 3.5 wt.%. It is significant that when the aluminum content is increased to 4 wt.%, the strengths and plasticity decrease. This behavior is associated with structural changes in steel.

The realisation of text coherence trough conceptual metaphors in the Albanian and English language
Authors: Idrizi Faik , Çeliku Arbër
Published: April 2024

‘Coherence’ as a linguistic notion is one of the seven basic criteria of textuality (Dressler 1981). There are many linguistic elements through them coherence can be achieved, but the focus of this article will be the conceptual metaphor in the Albanian language as an specific element, which is not to find in any other language.  The reason of conducting such contrastive research consists of three guidelines: First, although Albanian and English belong to the same language family: Indo-European, also they are inflectional languages, but they have their own mechanism expressing linguistic phenomena. Secondly, the Albanian language, building an independent group within the Indo-European family group, provides some differences in the morpho-syntactic level compared to German and English as languages of the same group. Third, metaphors are not only a linguistic phenomenon, but, first of all, a cultural one. There is a big difference between Albanian and English. This article focuses not only to express the linguistic differences of the realization of text coherence trough metaphors in Albanian and English, but also builds an methodological-didactic frame, especially for learners of both languages to avoid mistakes in the process of text constitution in these languages.

Indonesia's population has increased from 265,015,300 people in 2018 to 268,074,600 people in 2019. The government created a program to intervene in the problem of uncontrolled population growth, namely the family planning (KB) program. The Long-Term Contraceptive Method (MKJP) with implants is one of the leading contraceptives from BKKBN. MKJP is the government's effort to reduce population growth. The purpose of this service is to help the government to achieve coverage of long-term contraceptive use through free counseling and installation. The results of a brief interview with family planning acceptors, most of them chose pills and injections because they were afraid to use implants and IUDs. The fear is caused by the method of installation and the side effects that can be caused. The results that have been achieved in this service are 56% of the family planning acceptor groups in the area are interested in being fitted with MHJP, which shows the success of this activity. We hope that in the future this coverage can continue to increase. We will continue to run this program by continuing to provide counseling and health education to family planning acceptors so that they can clearly illustrate the effectiveness of MHJP is greater than non-MKJP by 99.4%.

Lokale und systemische Therapien von Hirnmetastasen - Mammakarzinom
Authors: Witzel Isabell , Krug David
Published: April 2024

Aufgrund verlängerter Überlebenszeiten und einer besseren systemischen Kontrolle treten Hirnmetastasen beim metastasierten Mammakarzinom in Abhängigkeit vom Subtyp bei bis zu 40 % der Patientinnen auf. Zunächst steht bei Hirnmetastasen die lokale Therapie im Vordergrund; diese kann durch eine systemische Therapie ergänzt werden. Insbesondere beim HER2-positiven metastasierten Mammakarzinom wurden in den vergangenen Jahren Studien explizit mit Patientinnen mit Hirnmetastasen durchgeführt. Durch den Einsatz des Tyrosinkinasehemmers Tucatinib in der HER2CLIMB-Studie entsteht ein klinisches Szenario, das es Patientinnen mit asymptomatischen Hirnmetastasen erlaubt, zunächst eine systemische Therapie ohne lokale Therapie durchzuführen. Doch trotz lokaler und systemischer Therapien bleibt die Prognose beim Auftreten von Hirnmetastasen schlecht.

Authors: Stallbohm Rodrigo , Owatari Marco Shizuo , Zaniboni-Filho Evoy , Martins Maurício Laterça
Published: April 2024

We herein evaluated the hematology and parasitology of Nile tilapia previously raised in an earthen pond and transferred to a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) to verify any possible influence of RAS on such health parameters. For this, 780 tilapias with an initial average weight and length of 91.05 ± 27.08 g and 17.45 ± 1.91 cm, respectively, were distributed in three tanks (2.0 m3) attached to the RAS, where they remained for 54 d. Throughout the period, water quality parameters remained within the range suitable for the cultivation of the species. Tilapia growth performance was satisfactory in the RAS, reaching a final biomass of close to 300 kg and survival of 98%. Hematological and parasitological analyses at the end of 54 d showed possible stress in RAS, with a significant increase in neutrophils from 12.15 ± 6.66 (earthen pond) to 21.43 ± 11.68% (RAS) and erythrocytes from 1.81 ± 0.24 (earthen pond) to 2.13 ± 0.14 (RAS), and a significant decrease in lymphocytes from 22.4 ± 2.66 (earthen pond) to 13.67 ± 3.38 (RAS). Furthermore, parasitological analysis showed a significant increase in the number of parasitized fish (25% to 63%) and abundance (3.55 ± 6.44 to 9.37 ± 9.99) after 54 d. It was concluded that tilapia cultivation in RAS can cause hematological changes and increase parasitism.

Published: April 2024

В статье рассмотрено развитие моделей товарного франчайзинга в современных социально-экономических условиях. Проведенный анализ развития моделей товарного франчайзинга на международном рынке трех иностранных брендов («L'Occitane en Provence», «Truccabocca» и «Mango») показал, что на успех компании в продаже франшиз влияют не только выгодные условия сделки, но и менталитет страны, которую они представляют общественности. Показано, что товарный франчайзинг в России на данном этапе находится на стадии развития, хотя потенциальные возможности его внедрения достаточно широки. Также можно сделать вывод о довольно грамотном функционировании представителей российского бизнеса в форме товарного франчайзинга. Именно данная форма бизнеса позволяет получить возможность использовать уже отработанные и оправдавшие себя технологии, известную марку, возможность обучаться и получать необходимые консультации. Все эти возможности могут предоставить те, кто уже имеет опыт, знания, обладает технологическими секретами предпринимателей, т.е. располагает капиталом не материальным, но весьма ценным и эффективным, если его правильно использовать. Грамотное использование всех сторон товарного франчайзинга позволит успешно вести бизнес.

The article considers the development of commodity franchising models in modern socio-economic conditions. The analysis of the development of commodity franchising models in modern socio-economic conditions on the international market of three foreign brands ("L'Occitane en Provence", "Truccabocca" and "Mango") showed that the success of the company in selling franchises is influenced not only by favorable terms of the transaction, but also by the mentality of the country they represent to the public. It is shown that commodity franchising in Russia is currently under development, although the potential for its implementation is quite wide. It is also possible to draw conclusions about the fairly competent functioning of representatives of Russian business in the form of commodity franchising. It is this form of business that allows you to get the opportunity to use already proven and proven technologies, an already well-known and popular brand, the opportunity to study and receive the necessary consultations along the way. All these opportunities can be provided by those who already have experience, knowledge, and technological secrets of entrepreneurs, i.e. they have capital that is not material, but very valuable and effective if used correctly. Proper use of all aspects of commodity franchising will allow you to successfully conduct business in the right direction.

Optimization of transaction costs as a factor in increasing the competitiveness of enterprises
Authors: Костенко С.Г.
Published: April 2024

В статье анализируется роль оптимизации транзакционных издержек в повышении конкурентоспособности предприятий. Для повышения конкурентоспособности важно знать о существовании транзакционных издержек, их формировании, факторах, определяющих их стоимость, связи с понесенными рисками и т. д. На практике низкая осведомленность о транзакционных издержках затрудняет эффективный анализ, хотя предприятия могут интуитивно предпринимать определенные действия в этом отношении. Лучшие возможности оптимизации затрат появляются при их сознательном и продуманном формировании для повышения конкурентоспособности.

The article analyzes the role of optimization of transaction costs in increasing the competitiveness of enterprises. To increase competitiveness, it is important to know about the existence of transaction costs, their formation, the factors determining their value, the relationship with the risks incurred, etc. In practice, low awareness of transaction costs makes it difficult to effectively analyze, although enterprises can intuitively take certain actions in this regard. The best opportunities for cost optimization appear when they are consciously and thoughtfully formed to increase competitiveness.

SIMBOLISMUL SĂRII LA SFÂNTUL IRINEU DE LYON. STUDIU DE CAZ: TRANSFORMAREA FEMEII LUI LOT ÎN STÂLP DE SARE (FAC. 19:26)
Authors: DALIDIS DIMITRIE
Published: April 2024

This study examines the spiritual dimension of salt by exploring the
religious symbolism attributed to salt in the Old Testament and patristic writings.
We will deepen the biblical episode of the transformation of Lot's wife into a pillar
of salt (Gen. 19:26), its theological significance and its reception in the work and
thought of Saint Irenaeus of Lyon. It also explores the anthropological perspective
of Saint Irenaeus of Lyon and the concept of incorruptibility. The analysis begins
with a philological examination of key terms such as “pillar” and “salt” found in the
biblical passage of Genesis 19:26, which describes the transformation of Lot's wife
into a pillar of salt. The second part of the study focuses on Saint Irenaeus of Lyon's
interpretation of the biblical passage and its connection to the religious symbolism
of salt. The study highlights the importance of incorruptibility and the image of the
Church as the salt of the earth in Saint Irenaeus' theology. Turning the pillar of salt
from a negative symbol into a positive one, Saint Irenaeus represents an impactful
and courageous hermeneutical voice in the Church. This interpretative position did
not create an echo in subsequent centuries in patristic literature, but neither was it
contested.

MANUSCRIPT RESEARCH IN THE NATIONAL LIBRARY OF SERBIA: A SHORT OVERVIEW
Authors: TRIJIĆ VLADAN
Published: April 2024

National Library of Serbia started gathering old books since it was
established (1832). Their cataloging and research throughout nearly two centuries
turned out to be integral part of the general development of Serbian archeography
with great, in several aspects decisive impact on it. The 19th century period, when
manuscripts were seen primarily as philological and historical sources, was
crowned with Ljubomir Stojanović’s catalog of the collection of NLS (1903).
Systematic approach to description of all manuscripts, strongly encouraged by the
destruction of NLS and its complete fund in 1941, was adopted only after
Archeography Department was founded in 1961. The article indicates some of the
most important points in the development of the Department as key institution for
cataloging and research of Cyrillic manuscripts in Serbia, offering a glance at its
portfolio.
From Planning to Strategic Territorial Management
Authors: Amine HMID , Driss ABBADI
Published: April 2024

Territorial action in Morocco has been characterized since the colonial period by conflicts between spatial, institutional, and territorial logics. During the colonial period, there was a predominant intention to control the national territory and modernize the country. Shortly after gaining independence, Morocco gradually engaged in a top-down territorial planning policy, with the main objective of improving the living conditions of its citizens. Today, things have changed; the centralizing development approach has become obsolete in the face of two key dimensions: territorial diversity and the presence of various territorial actors, including humans. This is where strategic territorial management comes into play. Therefore, the aim of this article is to study the transition from territorial planning to strategic territorial management in the municipality of Settat through participative governance. A qualitative method was adopted for this purpose. Documentary analysis and questionnaires were essential tools for data collection. The results indicate that strategic territorial management at the municipal level faces several challenges, primarily related to the inefficiency of development policies. This inefficiency is mainly attributed to a lack of citizen participation in the territorial decision-making process.

Num país onde as práticas de educação financeira não fazem parte da realidade da população, os meios de comunicação exploram as vulnerabilidades das crianças para atrair novos consumidores, o que é compreensível em um mundo capitalista. A forma como os pais se posicionam sobre esta questão em relação aos seus filhos faz uma enorme diferença no desenvolvimento do conhecimento da educação financeira e crítica dessa criança. As escolas por sua vez, falham no processo de ensino sobre a educação financeira, não trazendo para as aulas assuntos financeiros de maneira atualizada e lúdica aos alunos, desde os primeiros anos de ensinamento, assunto esse garantido por lei através da pela Base Nacional Comum Curricular – BNCC. O principal objetivo dessa pesquisa é entender o nível de conhecimento que os indivíduos têm em relação à educação financeira, tendo como forma específica quantificar esse conhecimento e dosar a visão em relação à necessidade de abordar esse assunto desde a educação infantil. A construção da escrita baseia-se em métodos lógicos e científicos e de uma pesquisa quantitativa e qualitativa através de uma amostragem com a população adulta sobre o conhecimento de sua vida financeira e limitações. Para tanto, valeu-se do levantamento de obras publicadas, constituídas de livros, revistas, periódicos, artigos científicos e trabalhos acadêmicos, todos encontrados em bibliotecas virtuais como SciELO e Google Scholar.
