Formación del juicio profesional en la Contaduría Pública colombiana
Authors: Romero León Henry Antonio
Published: March 2023

En este artículo se determina la relevancia de la teoría de la decisión racional en la formación del juicio profesional del contador público. Dados los procesos de cambio normativo en Colombia, con la convergencia a estándares internacionales de información financiera y de aseguramiento, el enfoque basado en principios de esta fuente normativa ha desafiado no solo el ejercicio profesional que había estado centrado en reglas, sino al sistema de formación de profesionales. A través de presupuestos teóricos de la elección y decisión racional proyectados y ampliados desde un enfoque de economía conductual, se analiza la normativa de información financiera, aseguramiento y estándares de educación contable a través de métodos computacionales para, cualitativamente, ofrecer una interpretación como respuesta a la pregunta de investigación que invita a valorar significativamente este enfoque y a incorporarlo consistentemente en la formación contable. Finalmente, se ofrecen unos derroteros para el diseño de un modelo de formación contable que responda a este enfoque para luego concluir sobre el problema.
THE CONCEPT OF THE POLITICAL AND ITS CONSTITUTI ON THROUGH THE BINARY DUALISM «FRIEND\ENEMY»
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv, Malkina Anna , Pastukhov Anton ,   Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv
Published: March 2023

This scientific article analyzes the emergence of the concept of political through the «friend/enemy» dichotomy from the standpoint of K. Schmitt’s thoughts. The main scientific problem that the authors solve in this article is the determination of the substantive characteristics of the concept of political through the prism of distinguishing the conceptual binary of enemy and friend, in particular: functional, intensification, existential, imperative and integrative dichotomy. Only by considering these features in common and synthesis can we talk about the concept of the political in its entire scope and highlight its specificity and regularities. The results of the study are the understanding of the Political as a metaconstruct of the political system, the functioning of which is possible only due to the constituent of the categorical apparatus, autonomous from the economic, national, cultural, etc. spheres, through the postulation of the immanent dualism of friend and enemy; determination of its basic characteristics. Likewise, this scientific publication intellectually prepared the conceptual concepts of war and the enemy, which complement the formation of the Political. War is seen as a potential possibility of existential and physical destruction, the enemy as a collective structure, the confrontation with which translates the community into the context of political functioning. The enemy, in turn, has its own characteristics (publicity and situationality) and is understood in the existential semantics of someone who essentially opposes and has a possible threat of destroying another collective identity (friends), primarily to which we belong ourselves. A definition of political existentialism was also given, as an understanding of one’s collective identity as a friend or enemy in relation to another political structure and the physical possibility of destroying the latter for the possibility of transgression to political existence.
WHETHER PYTHAGORAS WAS A POLITICIAN? (a historical-philosophical attempt at rethinking)
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv, Turenko Vitali
Published: March 2023

The article analyzes the key aspects of Pythagoras’ activity as a political thinker and public figure based on the latest fundamental research on Pythagorean issues, as well as using original sources of ancient Greek and ancient Roman historians, philosophers, and orators. It was revealed that the very question of the philosopher’s birthplace became the focus of imperial propaganda in Ancient Rome. It is proved that Pythagoras himself was not directly related to political activity, although his philosophical beliefs, mainly about the understanding of the ideal form of government, and the role and meaning of laws, had an impact on social life in Ionia and Western Greece. It has been proven that the success of his speeches on the territory of modern Italy is connected with the fact that in Croton, as in other neighboring cities, there was a «demand» for new political transformations and changes. True, no radical changes took place, but the followers of Pythagoras found themselves in the power structures of various cities, which was caused by the persecution of his students. It is substantiated that it is not known exactly what political and legal beliefs the founder of the early Greek philosophical tradition adhered to, but it is obvious that he had a powerful impact on the development of the philosophical sphere both theoretically and practically. Pythagoras developed a sufficient pseudo-epigraphic corpus of works, the provisions of which were used by the followers of this school, some of which are found in Platonic political and legal treatises. Separate ideas formed the basis of the doctrine of the Platonic state — Platonopolis. It was also revealed that, in addition to political activity, Pythagoras had an influence on the philosophical and legal thought of antiquity, which is confirmed by the presence of a whole series of his laws, as well as works devoted to legal issues, which are traditionally attributed to his followers.

Published: March 2023

The article analyzes the meaning of the concept of «electoral technologies», modern approaches to its interpretation, the classification of electoral technologies according to various characteristics, the principles of democratic elections and the effectiveness of electoral technologies in modern Ukraine. To focus attention on the varieties of electoral technologies, the analysis of modern approaches, the research aims to represent the principles of democratic elections and the effectiveness of electoral technologies in Ukraine. The methodological basis of the study was the dialectical method, which made it possible to identify and learn electoral technologies as a legal phenomenon. In addition, during the research, formal-logical techniques were used (logical methods of analysis and synthesis were used during the identification of features and definition of the concept of electoral technologies, as well as their classification, modeling and abstraction techniques — during the development of practically possible proposals for improving the electoral process), systemic (allowed to systematize and classify electoral technologies, as well as regulate the use of illegal electoral technologies. Scientific novelty. It is proposed to classify electoral technologies according to various features and criteria based on the experience of modern Ukraine. Conclusions. Political elections presuppose appropriate technologies of activity, which are always dynamic and in need of change. The study of electoral technologies is a relevant contribution to their development against the background of Ukrainian state formation. Understanding the content and typology of political electoral technologies at the current stage is an important need to improve and increase the efficiency of political power and state administration. Further research in this field can be focused on improving the methodology of electoral technologies and optimizing election processes, analysis of election campaign technologies, and the level of involvement of parties in the organization of the election process.
KEY FACTORS FOR ESCALIZATION OF SECURITY SITUATION IN EASTERN EUROPE AND THREAT FOR UKRAINIAN STATE INTERESTS

The article reveals the main patterns and problems that led to the violation of international security and the beginning of military aggression against Ukraine. It assesses domestic and foreign policy factors that are approaching escalation, including inconsistencies in NATO’s approach to Eastern European enlargement, underestimation of the Kremlin’s neo-imperialist revanchist ambitions, short-sighted EU energy policy for their practical implementation, the military path along with economic blackmail. In some places, the prevalence of individual intentions of individual political forces in the struggle for the electorate put in the background the strategic issue of defending national interests. The weakness of the system of exercising state power leads to a decrease in the country’s defense potential and neglect of real threats, which took place in Ukraine until 2014. The study concludes that the necessary vector of key actors is needed to remedy the current situation, as the threat from Russia is becoming a permanent to regional stability and international security. As the existing mechanisms for resolving security challenges have not proved successful in protecting non-NATO countries, Allies are obliged to work towards developing practical security guarantees for Ukraine and, in the long run, other countries in the post-Soviet space that do not have intentions to be in the orbit of the Kremlin. A potential security document cannot be a formalized memorandum without a detailed procedure for dealing with a critical situation and should include preventive response mechanisms. In the worst case, the situation in Eastern Europe will not be balanced. Until the Kremlin feels the ability of the collective West to respond to the Russian regime’s «crossing the red line» and sees a lack of full consolidation of NATO countries, attempts to gain control of Ukraine will continue and are likely to extend to Central Asia, Belarus and Belarus. Europe and the United States must understand that Russian aggression is not a situational display, but a directed approach to achieving military-political goals, the conditions for which have been formed over the years.
CONCEPTUAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE INFORMATION WAR IN THE MODERN CONDITIONS OF THE ARMED AGGRESSION OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATI ON AGAINST UKRAINE
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine, Dzhus Oleksandr
Published: March 2023

Information wars are implemented by specific tools, methods, techniques, technologies, etc., but necessarily in a multitude, jointly, at different levels, because the information environment, with its information flows and information impacts of various kinds, is characterized by a combination of dynamic factors that can affect a person direct or indirect, immediate or delayed impact. Mass media have become a special catalyst and carrier of information wars. Critical discourse on this new media reality, inspired by states that support aggressive geopolitics, is also based on the achievements of psychology, the complex of knowledge it presents about the massification of the psyche of the addressee, manipulation techniques as a component of communication technologies. In the context of the information war waged against Ukraine by the Russian Federation, aimed at imposing certain ideological stereotypes, the study of conceptual foundations, a deep understanding of the mechanisms and interdependencies of information warfare is a highly topical issue for ensuring national security and defense of Ukraine.
INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE OF STRUGGLING WITH THE POLITICAL VIOLENCE BY MEANS OF INFORMATION WARFARE
Authors:   Military Institute of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv Ukraine, Sunhurova Salome
Published: March 2023

The goal of the work is to study the international experience of democratic countries in countering threats in the information and digital space, which involves repelling cyber-attacks and information operations, as well as counteroffensive actions in order to preserve Western democratic values, institutions and systems. The article examines the international experience of resisting political violence in the information space, which confirms the existence of a common enemy of the democratic world, the Russian Federation, in the information struggle. It has been demonstrated that the Russian approach to information warfare is a global strategy that includes both cyber attacks and information operations against the majority of democratic actors in the world (Poland, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Georgia, Moldova, USA, France, Sweden, etc. ). Russian information warfare campaigns have influenced and continue to discredit democratic institutions. They promote extremism and discontent, supporting anti-democratic leaders in an attempt to shake the influence of the West. It was found that Russian information strategies coincide in many countries and can serve different goals. However, it was found that there are three common goals among them. There are restoration of Russian dominance in the post-Soviet/imperial sphere of influence, reducing the influence of Western democratic values, institutions and systems in order to create a polycentric world model and the expansion of Russia’s political, economic and military hegemony throughout the world. Attention is focused on the fact that the Russian media machine uses a wide range of misinformation tools, « Trolls from Olgino», which leads to confusion and calls into question the very concept of truth.

Despite their high prevalence in women of different age, the aetiopathogenesis of ovarian cysts (O.C.) unknown. This study is aimed to evaluate the total protein bound hexose (TPHex), total protein (TP), total carbohydrate (TCHO), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and iron (Fe+2) in fluid of function, benign, and malignant ovarian cyst. Also demonstrate the change in serum PHex and LDH (of patients with ovarian cyst) and their roles in diagnosis of patients with malignant ovarian cyst. A cross sectional study included sixty- seven women with ovarian cyst (ten of them with functional cyst, thirty two with benign neoplastic cyst and twenty five of them with malignant ovarian cyst). Twenty-six healthy women as a control group also participated in the current study. The age of subjects ranged from (twelve to sixty-seven) years. Different biochemical parameters were carried out in ovarian cyst fluid (O.C.F.) and in serum include (TPHex), total protein (TP), total carbohydrate (TCHO), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and iron (Fe+2). In the present study, a comparative study of biochemical parameters revealed that a significant increase in fluid (TPHex), total protein (TP), total carbohydrate (TCHO), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and iron (Fe+2) levels in malignant and benign ovarian cyst when compared with functional ovarian cyst, also there is a significant increase in malignant (O.C.F.) compared with benign (O.C.F.). In the serum, our study shows a highly significant elevation in PHex and LDL enzyme in patients with malignant and benign ovarian cysts compared with serum PHex and LDL of normal healthy control, while there is insignificant difference in serum PHex level in patients with malignant ovarian cyst compared with that of patients with benign ovarian cyst. There is no correlation between level of PHex in serum and fluid, while There is a direct correlation between LDH level in serum and fluid cyst. In conclusion, both fluid and serum LDH level can considered as a tumour marker for malignant ovarian cyst also there is a direct correlation between serum and fluid. Fluid TCHO level have a useful role in diagnosis of benign and malignant ovarian cyst. Iron is useful in differentiating endometrioid cyst from other types of cysts, but it is not useful in differentiating benign from malignant ovarian cyst.

Authors: Kumar Maddala Surya , Zachariah K Varghese , Joel J Chakravarthy
Published: March 2023

Airway management remains an important challenge in the contemporary practice of anaesthesia and preoperative airway assessment facilitates appropriate preparation when difficulty with intubation or ventilation is anticipated prior to induction of anaesthesia.

: Aim: To study the important predictors for difficult laryngeal intubation.

To determine the predictors of difficult laryngeal intubation. Secondary: To determine the most significant predictor for difficult intubation and to determine the incidence of unanticipated difficult intubation.

This single centre prospective observational study done in Bangalore Baptist hospital (after obtaining clearance from ethical committee) included adult patients posted for elective surgeries who received general anaesthesia. Patients of either gender in the 18 – 65 year age group, with an American Society of Anaesthesiologists physical status classification of I or II, who required endotracheal intubation for general anaesthesia. The sample size was 413 with confidence level 95%.

In our study the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of Mallampati class were found to be 75.8%, 78.06%, 37.90%, 94.80% respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of mouth opening were found to be 33.87%, 81.19%, 24.13%, 87.42% respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of upper lip bite test found to be 27.41%, 96.29%, 56.66%, 88.25% respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of neck extension found to be 54.83%, 92.59%, 56.66%, 92.06% respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of BMI found to be 53.22%, 75.49%, 27.73%, 90.13% respectively. The incidence of difficult intubation was 15%.

:In conclusion, no single predictor is sufficient for prediction of difficult intubation on its own. All the studied bedside tests are poor to moderate predictors of difficult intubation. All the tests showed poor positive predictive values and high negative predictive values which suggests that they can be more useful predictors of easy intubation than difficult intubation.
Comparative study between tramadol and dexamethasone as an adjuvant to bupivacaine in supraclavicular brachial plexus block
Authors: Nagar Kriti
Published: March 2023

: Brachial plexus block is widely used as an efficient and cost effective alternative to general anesthesia for upper limb surgeries. A variety of adjuvants to local anesthetics have been used and compared, however, drugs which prolong the duration of anaesthesia and analgesia are being constantly studied for patient satisfaction and cost effectiveness.

: Prospective, Interventional, Randomised study was conducted over 105 patients scheduled for elective upper limb surgeries under brachial plexus block, who were randomly allocated into three groups of 35 patients each. Group I- Bupivacaine with Tramadol, Group II- Bupivacaine with Dexamethasone and Group III- Bupivacaine alone. The time of onset and duration of sensory and motor block was noted. Hemodynamic variables were measured from baseline until the use of first rescue analgesic. The statistical analysis was done using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) version 15.0 statistical analysis software.

: Onset of sensory and motor blockade was significantly earlier in Group II (9±1.83 min) and (14.14±3.53min) as compared to Group I (11.94 ±2.59min) and (22.86±3.70min) and Group III(19±5.26min) and (27.14±4.07min). The requirement of first rescue analgesic was significantly earlier in Group III patients (211.43±23.25 min) followed by Group I (397±20.15 min) and last in Group II (632.43±23.15 min).

: Bupivacaine with Dexamethasone provided an early onset of sensory and motor blockade with maximum duration of blockade requiring rescue analgesic at a much later time period compared to Bupivacaine with Tramadol and Bupivacaine alone when used in supraclavicular brachial plexus block.

Published: March 2023

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, particularly preeclampsia, eclampsia remain one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. We studied the association between the risk factors, interventions required, diagnosis and outcome in these patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

: We conducted a prospective, observational study after the Institutional Scientific and Ethics committee approval. The Institutional record was taken to identify 70 women with Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH) admitted to ICU after meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Socio-demographic details, indication and timing of ICU admission were noted. On ICU admission; baseline vitals, detailed history, duration of complications, therapeutic interventions, laboratory parameters and imaging were compiled. Maternal outcome was assessed in terms of interventions needed, complications encountered and mortality or discharge and follow up was done up to 6 weeks postpartum. Fetal outcome was assessed in terms of live births or Intrauterine fetal death (IUFD), Apgar score, term/preterm and followed up to 7 postnatal days.

: It was observed that out of 70 women enrolled in our study, 48 women were diagnosed with preeclampsia, 54 belonged to the age group of 21-30 years, 61 were unregistered for antenatal checkup, 46 had term gestation, 52 were nulliparous and 64 underwent Lower segment caesarean section (LSCS). 60 of them had postpartum ICU admission, all of them had significant rise in blood pressure. Most common interventions were transfusion of blood products (n=30) and mechanical ventilation (n=6). HELLP syndrome was the most common complication (n=7). Maternal mortality was seen in 6 women. 35 neonates had low birth weight, 6 had intra uterine growth retardation (IUGR), 19 were preterm and Apgar score was significant at 5 minutes.

: From our observations, it can be concluded that majority of the women were diagnosed with preeclampsia, were relatively of younger age group, nulliparous with no antenatal checkup, underwent LSCS and were admitted postpartum to ICU. Transfusion of blood products was the most common intervention & HELLP syndrome was most common complication. Maternal mortality was higher in women with preeclampsia although overall mortality was low. The incidence of low birth weight, IUGR and preterm neonates was more in eclamptic women. Neonatal mortality was more in preeclamptic women.
A retrospective study of d-dimer level comparison and its prognostic importance in hospitalized COVID-19 patients
Authors: Dias Anusha Leah , Harshavardhan K
Published: March 2023

Patients with covid-19 have an abnormal coagulation function and the association between D-dimer levels and the severity of COVID-19 is unclear. The study aimed to explore the association between the severity of COVID-19, influencing factors, and D-dimer levels in vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals.

In a retrospective study, all patients who are SARS-CoV-2 RNA PCR positive were assessed and detailed vaccine history and laboratory findings were collected. Data were analysed using SPSS version 27.

Among 80 study participants, 46 (57.5%) were vaccinated with at least one or two doses and 34 (42.5%) were unvaccinated. 19 (23.8%) study participants were dependent on non-invasive ventilation and 43.8% were on mechanical ventilation. The median D dimer level at day 1 was comparatively higher among vaccinated (median =653.00) compared to their counterpart (median =531.50) and it was no statistically significant difference on day 1 among both the groups (p-value =0.422). Similarly, the median dimer level at day 5 was comparatively higher among vaccinated (median =944.50) compared to non-vaccinated. (median =934.00) and p value =0.422. The study reveals that 7(36.8%) of the vaccinated participants were on non-invasive ventilation and 12(63.2%) non-vaccinated individuals were on non-invasive ventilation and the association was found to be statistically significant (p-value =0.037). The severity of COVID-19 is higher among non-vaccinated (53.8%) than vaccinated (46.2%).

D-dimer levels were raised in both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. The vaccinated group was at less risk for complications and less need for intubation and mechanical ventilation. Though higher levels of D- dimer were recorded on day 1 and day 5 in vaccinated compared to non-vaccinated statistically it was not significant. We conclude D-dimer levels cannot be utilized as biomarkers for the severity of the disease in vaccinated and non-vaccinated individuals.
Comparative evaluation of intrathecal dexmedetomidine and clonidine as an adjuvant to bupivacaine in gynaecological surgeries
Authors: Dwivedi Gaurav , Gupta Lalit
Published: March 2023

: Spinal anaesthesia is commonly used in gynaecological surgeries, with Bupivacaine being the most commonly used anaesthetic. Bupivacaine, on the other hand, has a shorter duration of action.

This clinical study was conducted to evaluate the behaviour of intrathecal clonidine and dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to bupivacaine in augmenting block characteristics in patients undergoing gynaecological procedures.

  A randomised controlled trial was conducted to compare intrathecal Dexmedetomidine and Clonidine as adjuvant to Bupivacaine in gynaecological surgeries. A total of 200 patients were divided into 100 groups, each randomly assigned to one of two groups, and intrathecal medication was administered according to the group assigned. The onset and duration of sensory and motor blockade, the highest level of sensory blockade, analgesia duration, and side effects were all evaluated.

: Although the time of onset of sensory and motor block in the Dexmedetomidine group was comparable to the Clonidine group, the two-segment regression time was higher in the Dexmedetomidine group as compared to the Clonidine group. The motor block onset according to Bromage grade-3 was 4.1±1.1 minutes and 4.42±1.2 minutes among Dexmedetomidine and Clonidine groups. Throughout the perioperative period, the central tendency values of mean arterial pressures and heart rate remained consistent in both groups.

Postoperative analgesia planning and management start from pre-anaesthetic evaluation. So, the analysis revealed that when combined as an intrathecal adjuvant with bupivacaine, dexmedetomidine not only provides better postoperative pain relief than clonidine but also a significantly longer sensory and motor block with preserved hemodynamic stability and lack of sedation.
A peripheral nerve stimulator guided popliteal sciatic nerve block combined with adductor canal block in lower leg surgery- A sole anesthetic technique
Authors: Chauhan Darshit , Bhamri Stuti , Shah Neha , Syed Afroza N
Published: March 2023

In lower leg surgeries involving fractures of distal tibia, ankle surgeries, debridement and PVD surgeries choice of anesthesia is usually regional anesthesia. When these patients are associated with co-morbid cardio-respiratory problems then it will become challenge for anesthesiologist to maintain homeostasis with good surgical anesthesia. Ayukut urfalioglu suggested another alternative technique in the form of Adductor canal block plus Lateral approach popliteal sciatic block as good alternative for these surgeries with better Intra-operative Haemodynamic Stability, additional post-operative pain relief and less requirement of systemic analgesia post-operatively.

In this prospective randomised controlled trial, we aim to explore the efficacy of Adductor canal block plus Popliteal Sciatic Block for Lower leg surgeries. Sixty patients (ASA I, II, III) undergoing lower limb surgeries were randomly allocated in 2 groups (30 patients in each group). In Group P patients received PNS guided Adductor canal block combined with popliteal sciatic block and in group S patients received unilateral spinal anesthesia.

: The primary objectives were to evaluate duration of sensory and motor block and post-operative pain relief. Secondary objectives included intra operative requirements of additional anesthesia and intraoperative haemodynamic stability.

There was significant intraoperative haemodynamic stability and post-operative pain relief attributable to Group P. Time for first requirement of rescue analgesia post-operatively was significantly higher in Group P compared to Group S (Group P Mean SD15.9±5.26 vs 6.05±1.23 in Group S with p= < 0.0001).

Combined adductor canal block and popliteal sciatic block can be an alternative technique with advantage of prolonged post-operative analgesia and haemodynamic stability.
A questionnaire research on the practice of postoperative anaesthetic visits
Authors: Madhusudhana Ravi , Balasubramaniam Aswin
Published: March 2023

As early as in 1934 the idea and relevance of post anesthesia visits have been implemented, with the recommendation that anesthesiologists should follow up i.e.; visit their patients regularly in the first two days after surgery to obtain information about the patient’s condition. Sparse literature exists regarding the importance of post anaesthesia visits, currently there are no studies done on how post anaesthesia visits are performed and documented. To find a solution for these issues, we had conducted a questionnaire research on the practice of post anesthesia visits among anaesthesiologists.

: The aim of this study is to know whether anesthesiologists does regular post operative anaesthesia visits and to know the importance of post anaesthesia visits.

A validated; self-reported electronic questionnaire was used to collect the data from a total of 80 anaesthesiologists who willfully participated in the study. The questionnaire generated using Google forms was sent to consultant as well as resident anaesthesiologists including free-lance practitioners through electronic mail.

90% of the participants were resident anaesthesiologists and the rest were consultants. 93.8% of the responders reported that post anaesthesia visits are mandatory at their work place. 91.3% of the participants significantly anaesthetize up to 4 cases on an average per day (p<0.001%). Most of the responders (93.8%) had responded that Post Anesthesia Visits is mandatory in their workplace and documentation of post anaesthesia visits are done mostly in the pre anaesthetic evaluation sheets. Post anaesthesia visits for all high-risk cases on daily basics shows a significant p value (p<0.001%). Daily post anaesthesia visits for all cases on the evening on the day of surgery (p<0.047%) for all cases anaesthetize by the responders for a minimum duration of 10 minutes per patient shows the significant p value (p<0.028%).

Post anaesthesia visits are done on a daily basis and documented in pre anaesthetic evaluation sheets or daily progress charts helps in detecting adverse effects related to anaesthesia procedure.
Music in medicine: An overview
Authors: Halder Abhishek , Nishad Ashok Kumar , Halder Ashutosh
Published: March 2023

Music in medicine is in use in various medical areas like neurological disorders, developmental abnormalities, psychiatric disorders, addictive disorders, terminal disorders, etc besides perioperative care. Music in perioperative care is aimed at reducing anxiety, stress, and fear besides decreasing postoperative pain. The authors (first two) have experience in the use of pre-recorded music medicine in perioperative patient care. Preoperative music is mainly used to reduce patients’ anxiety, stress, and fear. The use of intraoperative music is controversial in surgical procedures under general anesthesia. Postoperative music, in general, is beneficial for pain management. This write-up provides an overview of published information on music in medicine, including historical and in particular perioperative care in anesthesia practice including use in cesarean section delivery. We searched PubMed and PubMed Central besides google search on “music in medicine” up to March 2022. There was no language restriction. Almost all present studies were conducted by listening to pre-recorded music, mostly via headphones. This work indicates that music in medicine, in particular music therapy, has been in use since ancient times (before the common era) and is presently incorporated intermittently in perioperative care. Music in medicine may have a beneficial effect on perioperative care. Music is inexpensive, easily administered, and without adverse effects, and can serve as a complement for reducing perioperative stress and pain besides its beneficial effects on cardiovascular & respiratory systems. Therefore, we conclude that music interventions may provide a viable adjunct to perioperative care. However, music in medicine is still an important research area and needs more properly conducted research before introduction into routine practice.

Published: March 2023

Medication errors in anesthesia can have serious consequences for patients, including morbidity and mortality. These errors can occur at any stage of the medication administration process, from prescribing and preparation to administration and monitoring. Learning from medication errors is essential to improving patient safety in anesthesia. To address medication errors in anesthesia, various strategies have been developed, including the use of checklists, protocols, and simulation training. The implementation of technology, such as barcode scanning and automated dispensing systems, has also been effective in reducing medication errors. Learning from medication errors involves identifying the root causes of the error, analyzing the factors that contributed to the error, and implementing strategies to prevent similar errors from occurring in the future.

Has health care financial expenditure accelerated the convergence consistency of health care resource allocation efficiency in China?
Authors: Gao Jiacheng , Liu Yue
Published: March 2023

This study measures the efficiency of health care resource allocation in each region of China using the global undesirable output from the Data Envelopment Analysis - Slacks Based Measure (DEA-SBM) model, on the basis of which the concept of economic convergence is introduced to analyze the convergence of health care resource allocation efficiency in China as a whole and in each region. The study found that although the overall health care resource allocation efficiency in China is relatively weakly effective, the trend is U-shaped, and since 2015, the overall health care resource allocation efficiency in China has shown an upward momentum and an overall positive performance. Second, the overall health care resource allocation efficiency in China has obvious characteristics of absolute convergence, and each region shows different degrees of absolute convergence, specifically the eastern region, which has the fastest convergence rate followed by the western region, and the central region has the slowest convergence rate. Third, after controlling for health care expenditure, the convergence rate of health care resource allocation efficiency in China as a whole and in the eastern and western regions increases to different degrees, while the convergence rate of health care resource allocation efficiency in the central region shows a small decrease.

This is actually a search for information about their ancestors - having restored the history of the family, at best, up to 6 - 7 generations, a person associatively switches to an earlier history of his native area as a whole. This alone gives special significance to the book of Candidate of Historical Sciences Yakov Nikolaevich Rabinovich, Porkhov in the Time of Troubles, which was published this year.

Transparency and Trustworthiness in User Intentions to Follow Career Recommendations from a Learning Analytics Tool
Authors: Gedrimiene Egle , Celik Ismail , Mäkitalo Kati , Muukkonen Hanni
Published: March 2023

Transparency and trustworthiness are among the key requirements for the ethical use of learning analytics (LA) and artificial intelligence (AI) in the context of social inclusion and equity. However, research on these issues pertaining to users is lacking, leaving it unclear as to how transparent and trustworthy current LA tools are for their users and how perceptions of these variables relate to user behaviour. In this study, we investigate user experiences of an LA tool in the context of career guidance, which plays a crucial role in supporting nonlinear career pathways for individuals. We review the ethical challenges of big data, AI, and LA in connection to career guidance and analyze the user experiences (N = 106) of the LA career guidance tool, which recommends study programs and institutions to users. Results indicate that the LA career guidance tool was evaluated as trustworthy but not transparent. Accuracy was found to be a stronger predictor for the intention to follow on the recommendations of the LA guidance tool than was understanding the origins of the recommendation. The user’s age emerged as an important factor in their assessment of transparency. We discuss the implications of these findings and suggest emphasizing accuracy in the development of LA tools for career guidance.
