La formation à l’enseignement de l’ÉPS en Tunisie après l’implantation du modèle LMD : quelle professionnalisation pour les enseignants d’ÉPS tunisiens ?
Authors: Desbiens Jean-François , Fraj Houssemeddine , Bali Naila
Published: January 2025

Cet article aborde la réforme de la formation à l’enseignement de l’éducation physique et sportive (ÉPS) en Tunisie sous l’angle du processus d’implantation du modèle Licence-Master-Doctorat (LMD). Il identifie les retombées du passage au régime LMD sur la professionnalisation des futurs enseignants d’ÉPS en Tunisie. L’étude s’inscrit dans le champ de l’analyse des politiques éducatives (Green, Camili et Elmore, 2006 ; Lessard, Desjardins, Schwimmer et Ann, 2008). Le devis de recherche qualitatif adopté a été mené par le biais d’entrevues semi-structurées individuelle (21) et d’entrevues de groupe (2) auprès de 29 informateurs sélectionnés selon une stratégie d’échantillonnage non probabiliste mixte. Les entrevues préalablement transcrites ont fait l’objet d’une analyse de contenu selon le modèle des catégories mixtes (L’Écuyer, 1990). L’examen des résultats nous amène à soutenir que la nouvelle mouture de la formation à l’enseignement de l’ÉPS en Tunisie est déprofessionnalisante.

Genèse des Premiers ministres
Authors: Guigo Pierre-Emmanuel
Published: January 2025

Comment l’histoire des numéros deux permet-elle de comprendre l’émergence de la fonction de Premier ministre ? Si leur position, soumise aux pressions tant du numéro un que du Parlement ou de la cour, est particulièrement difficile à occuper, elle s’avère nécessaire dès lors qu’un processus de division du travail est à l’œuvre. Le numéro deux est souvent la cheville ouvrière des organisations politiques poussées, faisant la jonction entre les différents pouvoirs. Les Premiers ministres de la V e République sont donc en quelque sorte les héritiers des ministrissimes et vizirs des époques passées.
Le Premier ministre en droit gouvernemental
Authors: Caron Matthieu
Published: January 2025

Le Premier ministre est la première autorité normative et disciplinaire du droit gouvernemental. D’une part, il est le régisseur en chef de l’ordre intérieur du gouvernement qu’il administre journellement au moyen de décrets, arrêtés, circulaires, interna acta corporis (petits actes du quotidien) et règles non écrites reproduites dans le temps. D’autre part, il est le premier garant de la mise en œuvre du droit gouvernemental, dont il discipline l’action grâce à ses pouvoirs administratifs d’impulsion, de coordination ou d’organisation, et dont il peut sanctionner la non-application au titre de ses pouvoirs politiques d’instruction et de décision.
Après Matignon
Authors: Baruch Marc Olivier
Published: January 2025

La Constitution française est ainsi faite que presque tous ceux qui sont arrivés à la dernière étape avant le sommet, les Premiers ministres, ambitionnent ouvertement ou secrètement d’aller encore plus haut, en accédant à la présidence de la République. Depuis 1959, très peu y parvinrent, de sorte que nombre d’entre eux eurent à trouver un rôle nouveau après « l’enfer de Matignon ». Avant l’interdiction du cumul des mandats, plusieurs se replièrent sur leur région, dont ils devinrent les potentats indiscutés. Les choses sont aujourd’hui à réinventer, et ce n’est pas facile.
Impact of a Recently Accredited Orthopedic Surgery Residency on Patient Outcome Scores in Total Shoulder Arthroplasty: A Retrospective Study
Authors: Sogard Oliver T. , Lachance Andrew D. , San Crant Christopher L. , Shahsavarani Shaya , Zlupko Tyler J. , Choi Joseph Y.
Published: January 2025

Background

Patient-reported outcome measures are a valuable tool to evaluate an intervention from a patient's perspective. Previous evidence shows that, while resident involvement may increase operative times, it does not affect complications or patient-reported outcomes. This study sought to assess the impact of a new residency program on patient-reported outcome measures, operative time, and complication rates in total shoulder arthroplasty.

Materials and Methods

A retrospective cohort study was performed of patients who underwent total shoulder arthroplasty at a single health care system. Demographic data, resident presence during shoulder arthroplasty, arthroplasty type, procedure duration, complications, and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score change were collected. Patients 18 years or older who underwent primary anatomic or reverse total shoulder arthroplasty were included. Patients who did not meet the inclusion criteria, had a preoperative diagnosis other than primary osteoarthritis, lacked preoperative and postoperative ASES scores, and canceled procedures were excluded.

Results

A total of 139 patients were identified and included in our analysis. Ninety-seven total shoulder arthroplasties were performed with a resident not present, and 42 with a resident present. This study showed no significant effects of the presence or absence of a resident on ASES scores, complication rates, or surgery times.

Conclusion

This study adds to previous evidence indicating that attending orthopedic surgeons can support resident learning and surgical skill development while maintaining patient-reported outcome measures, surgical time, and complication rates similar to those without resident involvement when performing shoulder arthroplasty.

Authors: Karakash William J. , Bolia Ioanna K. , Levian Brandon A. , Chu Timothy N. , Kim Daniel R. , Fathi Amir , Liu Joseph N. , Petrigliano Frank A. , Weber Alexander E.
Published: January 2025

Background

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)-based and cannabidiol (CBD)-based products are increasing in popularity for the management of pain. Cannabis-based products may serve as a valuable alternative to traditional analgesics such as opioids for pain management among orthopedic patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the perspective of orthopedic sports medicine patients regarding the use of THC- and CBD-based products for the management of musculoskeletal pain.

Materials and Methods

A short, 11-question survey was distributed to orthopedic sports medicine patients in clinic and via email. Survey participation was voluntary. Retrospective chart review was conducted for participating patients to collect additional data such as visit diagnosis.

Results

A total of 182 patients completed the survey. Most were familiar or somewhat familiar with THC (61%) and CBD (63.2%) products and their use for musculoskeletal pain. Of the patients, 53.3% were aware of friends and family currently using CBD products to help manage musculoskeletal pain. Of the patients, 81.3% were amenable to receiving THC-based products and 90.1% were amenable to receiving CBD-based products for the management of their musculoskeletal pain. The patients were statistically more amenable to receiving CBD-based products than THC-based products (
P
=.017). Among the patients, 85.3% believed cannabis-based products would help in the fight against the opioid epidemic.

Conclusion

Orthopedic patients are aware of THC- and CBD-based products, and the majority are willing to receive these products to help manage their musculoskeletal pain and orthopedic-related issues. Orthopedic surgeons should be aware of the increasing popularity of CBD-based products and educate themselves and their patients regarding the appropriate use of them. [

La campagne de réparations des anciens combattants canadiens prisonniers au Japon et leurs relations avec les gouvernements canadien et japonais, entre enjeux mémoriels et exigences du temps présent (1984-1998)
Authors: Eyraud Thomas
Published: January 2025

Cet article examine la campagne de réparations menées par les anciens combattants canadiens prisonniers de guerre au Japon durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. L’enjeu ici est d’analyser les relations entretenues par les anciens combattants et leurs interlocuteurs, les gouvernements japonais et canadien. À travers l’usage de sources associatives, privées, parlementaires et de presse, cette étude révèle que le « demi-succès » ou « demi-échec » des revendications des vétérans repose en partie à la fois sur les ambivalences du gouvernement canadien, sur fond de tension entre enjeu mémoriel et exigence du temps présent, et sur l’obstination du Japon à ne pas compenser les anciens combattants.
« Souvenons-nous de Hong Kong » : la bataille de Hong Kong et son absence mémorielle au Québec de 1941 à aujourd’hui
Authors: Lehoux Julien
Published: January 2025

En novembre 1941, le Canada déploie 2 000 soldats des Winnipeg Grenadiers et du Royal Regiment of Canada à Hong Kong, en anticipation d’une attaque japonaise. Malheureusement, la défaite est certaine et les Japonais capturent tous les défenseurs le 25 décembre 1941. Les prisonniers passent alors le reste de la guerre dans des camps aux conditions horribles. Cet article explore l’histoire des vétérans québécois de la bataille, mettant en lumière l’absence d’une mémoire collective vis-à-vis cet évènement. L’analyse de la couverture médiatique de la bataille et des activités post-guerre suggère ainsi que les traumatismes ont conduit les vétérans québécois à se tourner vers des espaces canadien et anglophone, excluant la bataille de la conscience québécoise.
Pratiques de prédation à Ciudad Juárez : naissance et disparition d’un quartier irrégulier au Mexique
Authors: Calzolaio Chiara
Published: January 2025

En suivant l’histoire de l’installation et de l’expulsion des habitants d’un quartier informel de la périphérie de Ciudad Juárez, Lomas del Poleo, cet article aborde les pratiques prédatrices à travers lesquelles s’impose et se reproduit le modèle économique centré sur la sous-traitance des services productifs dans cette région du Mexique à la frontière avec les États-Unis. Restés à l’écart pendant plusieurs décennies, les terrains sur lesquels s’était développé Lomas del Poleo connaissent un processus de valorisation dans le cadre d’un nouveau projet de développement urbain, en vue de l’installation de nouvelles maquiladoras. Le conflit foncier qui oppose les habitants et une famille de grands propriétaires fonciers réclamant la propriété des terrains montre que les entreprises multinationales ne sont que l’un des acteurs qui interviennent dans l’imposition de ce modèle d’accumulation. Dans les pratiques de la prédation coexistent des mécanismes directs, qui passent par la destruction de lieux et de vies, mais aussi indirects, qui agissent dans les interstices du droit et de la loi et de leur application.
Exposer, capturer : ethnographie de la fabrique des savoirs épidémiologiques sur les travailleuses du sexe au Mali
Authors: Castro Julie
Published: January 2025

Cet article propose une analyse des logiques de prédation qui traversent les enquêtes épidémiologiques menées auprès des travailleuses du sexe maliennes dans le cadre de la lutte contre le sida. À partir d’une double ethnographie conduite dans la capitale, Bamako, au tournant des années 2010 – ethnographie des politiques de lutte contre le sida menées « hors les murs » et ethnographie menée auprès de femmes étiquetées comme « travailleuses du sexe » par ces politiques –, je montre comment la fabrique des savoirs épidémiologiques se réalise à travers des formes de vulnérabilisation, de capture, d’accaparement et d’absence de soin. Je souligne le rôle joué tant par les instruments et rationalités guidant les enquêtes épidémiologiques que par le contexte social de raidissement moral dans la genèse de ces formes de prédation, et mets en lumière la manière dont elles participent à la construction de savoirs qui sont au cœur des biopolitiques contemporaines.
Aux origines romaines de la crise du 16 mai 1877 : les « menées ultramontaines » en Europe et en France
Authors: Hérisson Arthur
Published: January 2025

Cet article propose une relecture des origines d’un des épisodes fondateurs de la Troisième République, la crise du 16 mai 1877. L’élément déclencheur de celle-ci est bien connu – la dénonciation par Gambetta des « menées ultramontaines » auxquelles le gouvernement de l’Ordre moral aurait laissé libre cours –, mais peu de chercheurs se sont interrogés jusqu’à présent sur ce que ces « menées » représentaient vraiment. En s’appuyant sur les fonds des Archives vaticanes, l’article reconsidère cet épisode selon une perspective d’histoire transnationale, en le réinsérant dans le contexte plus large, d’échelle européenne voire transatlantique, des mobilisations catholiques en faveur de la papauté sous le pontificat de Pie IX.
La guerre de Crimée au Japon : la prise de conscience d’une vulnérabilité structurelle
Authors: Seizelet Éric
Published: January 2025

Si, depuis la fin du XVIIIe siècle, le Japon isolationniste est confronté à la multiplication des incursions de navires occidentaux dans ses eaux, la guerre de Crimée dans ses prolongements asiatiques constitue un nouveau défi pour l’archipel : les belligérants anglais, français et russes opèrent non loin des eaux japonaises et ont besoin des ports de l’archipel pour se ravitailler. À partir de l’analyse des outils dont disposaient alors les autorités japonaises pour s’informer sur la guerre de Crimée, l’article étudie les réactions du Bakufu aux exigences des camps en présence, à l’origine des premières conventions anglo-japonaise et russo-japonaise de 1854-1855. Il décrit la façon dont le Japon fait face à un conflit international dans ses parages, et évalue la contribution des deux conventions précitées à l’insertion du Japon dans l’ordre international façonné par les Occidentaux.

Enhancing Fraud Detection in Finance Through AI and Machine Learning
Authors: Dewangan Shweta , Kumar Sanjeev
Published: January 2025

The task of fraud detection within the financial industry is relevant now mainly because the types and rates of fraud-related cases have changed. It is noted that simple manual checks and implementation of a standard set of rules and familiar static detection techniques cannot identify such fraud techniques. The integration of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning is known to be a giant step towards the optimisation of detecting fraud patterns. These patterns can include, but are not limited to, unusual transaction amounts, frequent transactions at odd hours, or transactions from unusual locations. AI and ML can quickly identify transaction information and outliers that possibly denote fraud cases. These technologies are intended to possess higher accuracy. They are much faster than the human capability to learn from previous instances of fraud and incorporate them into new types of fraud.

Authors: Phiri Moses , Metsileng Lebotsa Daniel , Rapoo Mogari Ishmael
Published: January 2025

The study utilized two machine learning (ML) techniques namely Random Forest (RF) and Support Vector Machines (SVM) with the aim of understanding the implications of missing data on RF and SVM's ability in forecasting accuracy. The study employed a time series data sourced from South African Reserve Bank website from January 1960 to June 2021 with a total of 738 observations for variables of government expenditure as a dependent variable and government revenue as independent variable. The study employed RMSE, MSE, MAE and MAPE for measuring forecasting accuracy of these two machine learning models. Results of the study revealed that SVM outperformed RF by giving the highest prediction accuracy. Furthermore, the results show that missing data does not negatively impact the accuracy of these models since the prediction error values decreases from modelling complete data to incomplete data. The study recommends that for future research purposes other machine learning models to be explored and that other scenarios in the data including bias and outliers to be considered.

Authors: Kim Dae Hyun , Lee Yoonseo
Published: January 2025

Hemicrania continua (HC) is an indomethacin-responsive headache, characterized by unilateral and continuous headaches with cranial autonomic symptoms. Various pathologies, including sinus-related conditions, are associated with HC. Here, we report the case of a 62-year-old man with HC and rhinosinusitis. The patient complained of a unilateral continuous headache with ipsilateral cranial autonomic symptoms, conjunctival injection, and eyelid edema for 20 months. HC was identified as a potential diagnosis based on the symptom criteria, and a response to indomethacin confirmed the diagnosis. Trigeminal autonomic cephalalgia should be considered in patients with unilateral headaches and cranial autonomic symptoms.
Research on Energy-Efficient Building Design Using Target Function Optimization and Genetic Neural Networks
Authors: Huan Youxiang
Published: January 2025

OBJECTIVES: This research aims to provide data for decision-makers to achieve sustainability in building construction projects.
METHODS: A multi-objective optimization method, using the non-sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II), assesses energy efficiency by determining optimal wall types, insulation thickness, and insulation type. This paper utilizes the EnergyPlus API to directly call the simulation engine from within the optimization algorithm. The genetic neural network algorithm iteratively modifies design parameters (e.g., building orientation, insulation levels etc) and evaluates the resulting energy performance using EnergyPlus.
RESULTS: This reduces energy consumption and life cycle costs. The framework integrates Matlab-based approaches with traditional simulation tools like EnergyPlus. A data-driven technology compares the framework's effectiveness.
CONCLUSION: The study reveals that optimal design configurations can reduce energy consumption by 30% and life cycle costs by 20%, suggesting changes to window fenestration and envelope insulation are necessary. The framework's accuracy and simplicity make it valuable for optimizing building performance.

Differentiating between immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced myocarditis and cardiac metastasis in a cardio-oncology patient presenting with myocardial infarction: A case report
Authors: Latsios George , Dimitroglou Yiannis , Lazaros George , Alexopoulos Nikos , Tolis Ilias , Aggeli Constantina , Tsioufis Costas
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

Cardiovascular diseases and cancer are leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Patients with malignancies are at increased risk for cardiovascular complications including acute coronary syndromes, chemotherapy or radiation therapy related complications and cardiac metastasis.

CASE SUMMARY

We present a case of a 47-year-old female with metastatic cancer on immunotherapy presented with anterior ST elevation myocardial infarction followed by emergent percutaneous coronary intervention in the left anterior descending artery. Echocardiography after 72 hours showed thickening of inferior wall and cardiac magnetic resonance depicted inflammation and necrosis attributable to either cardiac metastasis or immunotherapy induced myocarditis. Biopsy was not performed because of treatment with antiplatelet drugs and a definite diagnosis was achieved after probationary administration of high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone that led to recovery.

CONCLUSION

In patients with malignancy, chemotherapy-induced cardiovascular complications and cardiac metastasis are common concerns and may coexist with common acute cardiovascular diseases including acute coronary syndromes. In such cases clinical suspicion aided by multimodality imaging is crucial for the diagnosis. A multidisciplinary team approach is required for prompt initiation of the appropriate treatment.
Precision oncology: The role of minimally-invasive ablation therapy in the management of solid organ tumors
Authors: Fazlollahi Farbod , Makary Mina S
Published: January 2025

Solid organ tumors present a significant healthcare challenge, both economically and logistically, due to their high incidence and treatment complexity. In 2023, out of the 1.9 million new cancer cases in the United States, over 73% were solid organ tumors. Ablative therapies offer minimally invasive solutions for malignant tissue destruction in situ , often with reduced cost and morbidity compared to surgical resection. This review examines the current Food and Drug Administration-approved locoregional ablative therapies (radiofrequency, microwave, cryogenic, high-intensity focused ultrasound, histotripsy) and their evolving role in cancer care. Data were collected through a comprehensive survey of the PubMed-indexed literature on tumor ablation techniques, their clinical indications, and outcomes. Over time, emerging clinical data will help establish these therapies as the standard of care in solid organ tumor treatment, supported by improved long-term outcomes and progression-free survival.
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and type 2 diabetes: A dual threat to cardiac dysfunction progression
Authors: Wang Wei , Cooper Charlie
Published: January 2025

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), particularly in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), is increasingly recognized as a multi-system disease that affects both hepatic and cardiovascular health. This study explores the association between MASLD-related liver fibrosis and cardiac dysfunction, focusing on how liver fibrosis contributes to cardiac remodeling and dysfunction. Cernea et al ’s research highlights the strong correlation between liver fibrosis and changes in left ventricular mass, left atrial dimensions, and systolic and diastolic function in diabetic patients. Notably, the study suggests a protective role of sex-hormone binding protein against cardiac remodeling. These findings underline the importance of early detection of liver fibrosis using non-invasive markers like fibrosis-4 index and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease fibrosis scores, which may offer dual protection for both liver and heart health in T2DM patients. Moreover, this study calls for further research into the shared pathogenic mechanisms, including inflammation and fibrosis pathways, between the liver and heart. It advocates for the integration of liver fibrosis screening into cardiovascular risk management, urging clinicians to adopt a more holistic approach in treating patients with MASLD and T2DM. The research has broad implications for preventing cardiovascular complications and improving outcomes in this high-risk population.

Published: January 2025

Atrial fibrillation (AF)/atrial flutter (AFL) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia. The known risk factors for developing AF/AFL include age, structural heart disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, or hyperthyroidism. This study aims to attribute the trends in AF/AFL-related mortalities over the past two decades 1999-2020 concerning race and sex and disparity among them. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that estimates the trends and mortality due to AF/AFL from 1999-2020 in older adults in the United States. In this 21-year analysis of mortality data, we found a constant increase in mortality rates due to AF/AFL in older adults. From 1999 to 2020, the overall mortality in older adults aged 65 and above, regardless of sex and race, is found to be almost doubled i.e. about a 50.2% increase in the number of deaths due to AF/AFL. Furthermore, other confounding risk factors such has obesity, prior myocardial infarction, inflammation, hypertension, birth weight, diabetes mellitus, hyperthyroidism, hormone replacement therapy in menopausal women increases the risk in the occurrence or recurrent occurrence of AF.
liberalismo democrático “sui géneris” de Alexis de Tocqueville y la idea de justicia
Authors: Monereo Pérez José Luis
Published: January 2025

Alexis de Tocqueville entiende que para que la democracia impere se precisan ciudadanos que se interesen en los asuntos públicos, que tengan la capacidad de comprometerse y que deseen hacerlo. Ello conecta su liberalismo con el republicanismo cívico, que permite compatibilizar la libertad y la igualdad democráticas. Por otra parte, percibe los peligros en sí mismos del pauperismo y de la cuestión social devenida en cuestión directamente política; y los peligros también en el sentido de una solución estatalista a través de la construcción de un “Estado-Providencia” (lo que después se denominaría, con mayor rigor en la técnica constitucional, “Estado Social de Derecho”). Entre los dos extremos (abstención pública de intervenir o intervenir y proteger moderadamente) él propone ante todo la autoorganización de la sociedad civil y, señaladamente, la creación de asociaciones para todas las vertientes o dimensiones de la vida humana. La proliferación de las organizaciones intermedias es lo que, según piensa Tocqueville, confiere vigor en una sociedad democrática y fortalece a los individuos. En relación al “deber” de protección pública o “asistencia estatal” se entiende que debería operar con carácter mínimo indispensable y subsidiario respecto de las soluciones autónomas provenientes de la sociedad civil. Más allá de toda valoración –y Tocqueville lo hace en parte críticamente-, la democracia marcharía inexorablemente hacia la igualdad de condiciones y no hacia el desarrollo de la separación y la desigualdad de clases. El “amor al bienestar” para el pueblo constituye para él un rasgo nuclear de las épocas modernas. De ahí que en el “Partido de la Joven Izquierda” que pretendía fundar en 1847 (sin conseguirlo finalmente), Tocqueville reclamase ciertas reformas sociales: de condiciones de trabajo, de salarios, una distribución más justa de los impuestos y la participación de los trabajadores como objetivos inmediatos a perseguir. Un programa corrector de las desigualdades materiales y disolvente de las jerarquías sociales del pasado y asimismo un antídoto que sirviera, al mismo tiempo, instrumentalmente para contrarrestar las propuestas de los republicanos socialistas con los que discrepaba abiertamente.
PRIMENA POSEBNIH DUŽNOSTI PREMA PRIVREDNOM DRUŠTVU NA RAZLIČITE VRSTE DIREKTORA

Company directors are usually considered the most important holders of special
duties towards a company. While the need to assign to them specific duties has never
been contested, partially disputable is the question of the scope of application to the
different types of directors. That is why the question has been posed of whether each
person considered to be a director should owe duties to the company, as well as
whether certain persons who in a formal legal sense are not directors should owe
specific duties, provided that their competencies and influence on the management
and business operations are similar to the competences that have persons formally
appointed as directors. The main subject of this paper is exactly an investigation of
this issue, conducted through the analysis of possible peculiarities in the application
of specific duties towards a company on different types of directors. The author in the
paper analyses the application of specific duties to de facto, de jure, and shadow
directors, as well as on executive and non-executive directors, general director, and
the chairman of the board of directors. In the final part of the paper, the author deals
with the specifics of the legal regulation of executive directors in the United States
law.

This paper presents an overview of thermal energy storage (TES) materials and systems for storage applications. A TES system is composed of a storage medium (TES material), a heat exchanger and a storage tank. TES systems employ storage technology by heating/cooling a medium so that the stored energy can be used later in various applications. In recent years, TES systems have attained significant interest in the scientific community, finding multiple applications in air heating/cooling, water heating, buildings, and more. TES systems depend on capacity, power, efficiency, storage period, and cost. TES systems are divided into three main categories, depending on how the energy is stored: sensible systems (with hot water), systems using phase change materials (PCMs), and systems based on chemical reactions. Among these three types, PCM-based systems are outstanding in terms of both performance and cost-effectiveness. These advanced materials contribute to the conservation of heat and solar energy, as well as improving their efficient use. This paper addresses different aspects of PCMs utilization. The classification of PCMs is based on the thermophysical properties of composite PCMs, their methods of production, the main challenges associated with them, and the solutions to these challenges. The progress in creating more efficient TES systems and finding the appropriate PCMs is also reviewed.
Analysis of predictors of smoking and alcohol abuse among healthcare workers considering specialty and gender differences
Authors: Fadeeva E. V. , Lanovaya A. M.
Published: January 2025

Results of foreign studies indicate a relatively high prevalence of smoking and alcohol consumption among healthcare workers, which can be explained by various socio-demographic and psycho-emotional characteristics, as well as stressinducing and psychological trauma factors related to their professional duties.

Aim. Analyse predictors of smoking and alcohol abuse among health care workers.

Materials and methods. The ASSIST screening test was used to assess the severity of clinically significant symptoms of substance abuse. The IES-R and K-10 questionnaires were used to evaluate psycho-emotional states.

Results. It was found that among men working in the “obstetrics and gynecology” specialty, a significant predictor of smoking was a high level of distress (p ≤ 0.05), and alcohol abuse was associated with the absence of a marital relationship (p ≤ 0.01). For women, alcohol abuse was related to increasing age (p ≤ 0.001), high income (p ≤ 0.01), living in a large urban area (p ≤ 0.05), and being married (p ≤ 0.01). Among men working in the “psychiatry and addiction medicine” specialty, alcohol abuse was associated with high income (p ≤ 0.01) and education levels (p ≤ 0.05). For women, there were associations between alcohol abuse and young age (p ≤ 0.01), high income (p ≤ 0.001) and education levels (p ≤ 0.01), distress (p ≤ 0.001), and post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms (p ≤ 0.05). For women, regardless of specialty, smoking and alcohol consumption were positively correlated (p ≤ 0.001).

Conclusion. The identified predictors of addictive behavior could become targets for targeted psychological and medical interventions.
Regulatory legal regulation of the organization and financial provision of supportive therapy for oncological diseases and directions for its optimization
Authors: Zheleznyakova I. A.
Published: January 2025

The potential benefits of supportive care offer patients more than many “palliative” methods of anti-tumor treatment. It should be regarded as a necessary part of comprehensive disease therapy rather than just an additional service. However, the imperfection of regulatory and organizational issues, including financial support, limits patients’ access to supportive therapy.

Aim. To analyze regulatory legal documents governing the organization and financial provision of supportive therapy for oncological diseases and identify areas for optimization.

Materials and methods. Content analysis and comparative legal analysis. The content analysis method was applied to 26 directly regulating various organizational aspects of medical care, including oncological diseases from 2012 to the present. In regulatory legal acts, the issues of organization and financing of supportive therapy for oncological diseases were specifically analyzed in terms of how well this area of medical care is regulated.

Results. The current fundamental regulatory legal acts governing the organization and financial provision of supportive therapy for oncological diseases and controlling the quality of the provided medical care contain almost no clear provisions that specify practical issues related to supportive therapy.

Conclusion. The absence of an officially established definition of “supportive therapy” within the Russian healthcare system and the lack of clear distinctions between the terms “medical rehabilitation” and “palliative care” lead to misunderstanding about the importance of this area in comprehensive oncological therapy. This results in uncertainty in organizational and financial matters. To optimize regulatory oversight, ‘supportive therapy’ should become an integral component of modern oncological disease management, implying both interdisciplinary cooperation and a transparent financial system, the adequacy of which will depend on what is included in this concept.

Itinerário do corpo morto e terceirização dos cuidados: a morte como negócio
Authors: De Souza Magalhães Karla , Aisengart Rachel
Published: January 2025

Este artigo aborda os cuidados com os corpos mortos, com base na delegação social da responsabilidade, da família e comunidade, para serviços terceirizados. As transformações sociais ocorridas ao longo do século XX acarretaram um cres- cimento do mercado funerário no contexto brasileiro, sobretudo a partir dos anos 1980. A pesquisa na qual se baseia este artigo tem como objetivo acompanhar o itinerário do corpo morto, para mostrar como são efetuados os cuidados, por intermédio de ser- viços terceirizados, presentes desde a constatação do óbito, sua notificação, até o destino final, quando os corpos são sepulta- dos ou cremados. O artigo conta com uma contextualização dos estudos sobre o tema e com a apresentação de dados de uma pesquisa etnográfica, empreendida em um cemitério localizado no município de Nova Friburgo – região serrana do estado do Rio de Janeiro. O estudo revelou a existência de um processo de mercantilização da morte, associado à produção de bens de consumo, com o propósito de dissociação entre os fenômenos morte e sofrimento.
