Published: April 2024

INTRODUCCIÓN. La anemia empeora el pronóstico de aquellos pacientes que acuden a los servicios de urgencia hospitalarios (SUH) y presentan comorbilidades como cardiopatía, enfermedad renal crónica (ERC), enfermedad oncológica (EO) o edad avanzada. A día de hoy, no disponemos de suficientes estudios que describan el perfil clínico de los pacientes con anemia en los SUH. OBJETIVO. Conocer las características de los pacientes y el manejo clínico de la anemia en un SUH. METODOLOGÍA. Estudio descriptivo observacional de serie de casos con análisis transversal de características clínicas y manejo de pacientes anémicos que acudieron al SUH entre el 1 de noviembre de 2015 y el 28 de febrero de 2016. RESULTADOS. Se incluyeron 376 pacientes con anemia (prevalencia 2,6%), con una edad media de 76 años (53,2% mujeres). La mayoría de anemias eran leves (79,1%) y de causa nutricional (73,7%). Los pacientes asociaban frecuentemente patologías graves tales como: EO (29,5%), cardiopatías como fibrilación auricular (FA; 24,7%) e insuficiencia cardiaca (IC; 22,1%) y ERC (19,9%). El 23,9% presentaba antecedentes de anemia previa y el 60,1% tomaba antiagregantes o anticoagulantes. Un 28,2% acudió por síntomas de anemia, siendo la astenia el más frecuente (16,8%). Se incluyó el diagnóstico de anemia en un 23,5% de las historias, siendo los únicos factores que contribuyen a ello, presentar anemia como antecedente o tener hemoglobina (Hb) menor de 8 g/dl (p < 0,001). Se trató al 11,6% de los pacientes, siendo la transfusión hemática el método más utilizado (11,6%). La Hb menor de 8 g/dl, fue el único factor decisorio en la administración de tratamiento (p < 0,001). CONCLUSIONES. La anemia es frecuente en los SUH es en la mayoría de casos nutricional y leve. Frecuentemente se asocia a IC, FA, EO, ERC y toma de antiagregantes y anticoagulantes. El diagnóstico y tratamiento se realiza en una baja proporción de pacientes. Existe una oportunidad de mejora en el manejo de la anemia en los SUH, que podría redundar positivamente en el pronóstico del paciente pluripatológico.

Actualmente, la tomografía computarizada (TC) craneal es la herramienta de diagnóstico estándar para evaluar la lesión intracraneal de pacientes con traumatismo craneoencefálico (TCE) e identificar aquellos que necesitan tratamiento quirúrgico inmediato. Existe un consenso generalizado sobre la realización de la TC craneal en los pacientes con TCE moderado o grave, pero no hay acuerdo sobre a qué pacientes con TCE leve (puntuación en la Escala de Coma de Glasgow –GCS– entre 13-15) se debe realizar esta prueba, por la baja prevalencia de anomalías intracraneales detectadas por TC y la excepcional mortalidad ligada al daño cerebral leve. Los biomarcadores de detección rápida en suero/plasma GFAP (Proteína Ácida Fibrilar Glial) y UCH-L1 (Ubiquitina C-terminal Hidrolasa L1) sirven de ayuda a la toma de decisiones durante la evaluación de pacientes adultos con GCS 13-15 en las primeras 12 horas desde el TCE. Permiten determinar la necesidad de realizar una TC, reduciendo su uso a los casos necesarios. Tras un TCE leve, en pacientes con GCS 15 con síntomas y/o factores de riesgo, GCS 14 o 13, un resultado negativo de GFAP y UCH-L1 en las primeras 12 horas, descarta la necesidad de realizar una TC craneal, con un valor predictivo negativo muy elevado. Estos pueden ser dados de alta para observación domiciliaria, siempre que estén recuperados y sin sintomatología. Si han transcurrido más de 12 horas del TCE, o al menos un biomarcador es positivo, se debe realizar una TC craneal y, tras ello, seguir los protocolos habituales según los hallazgos radiológicos y el estado clínico del paciente.

CREATION OF TOOLS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ENTERPRISE - SUBJECT OF ZED
Authors: Didyk Andriy , Pogorelov Yurii , Lemishovskyi Vasyl , Lazarev Anton
Published: April 2024

The purpose of the article is to consider tools for the development of enterprises that are subjects of foreign economic activity (FEA). The consequences of the war against Ukraine create a compelling need for the development of the national Ukrainian economy. Analyzing the foreign experience of different countries in the post-war period indicates that export activities are one of the most reasonable vectors for such development, both at the level of individual enterprises and at the level of the national economy as a whole. Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats have been identified for Ukrainian enterprises operating in the field of foreign economic activity. It is shown that the number of threats has increased compared to the pre-war period. Despite the significant number of threats and weaknesses, the analysis shows that Ukrainian enterprises have a "window of opportunities" that can be effectively used. Using dichotomous criteria for the possibility of entering foreign markets and the potential of the domestic market, a matrix of strategic choice has been developed. This matrix is intended for use at the level of individual enterprises. A reasonable strategic choice for the enterprise is determined for each quadrant of this matrix in the general version, and industry-specific recommendations are considered. Based on formulated key questions, necessary development tasks are identified for enterprises as subjects of foreign economic activity. These tasks include strategic goal setting, determination of the competitive advantage used, and development of the enterprise strategy. Necessary management tools are proposed and described for the implementation of each of these tasks. A set of key questions has been developed for the chosen model of enterprise development strategy to determine the content of the elements of such a strategy. The usage of proposed development tools for subjects of foreign economic activity is briefly presented using the example of automotive industry enterprises.
LONG-TERM LENDING FOR PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP PROJECTS: OPPORTUNITIES AND PROSPECTS
Authors: Shuliuk Bohdana , Kolomyychuk Nataliya , Petrushka Olena
Published: April 2024

The article is devoted to the topical issues of long-term lending to public-private partnership projects in the context of a permanent shortage of budget funds and the financial instability of business entities. The purpose of the study is to highlight the problems of attracting long-term credit resources by partners in the process of implementing joint projects and to outline areas for their solution. To achieve this goal, general scientific research methods and analytical data from the State Statistics Service of Ukraine and the National Bank of Ukraine were used.The article reveals the main problems in the development of the debt financial instruments market, which make partnership projects between the state and business unattractive for investors. It is argued that the possibility of providing long-term loans depends not only on the actions of the bank, but also on the monetary policy of the NBU, which should ensure the introduction of preferential reserve requirements for banks, the provision of irrevocable deposits, the NBU's approval to refinance banks for the implementation of PPP projects, and the introduction of preferential lending by banks to PPP projects. The authors emphasize the priority importance of the state policy on the development of programs for the availability of long-term loans in the process of implementing partnership projects. Given the underdevelopment of financial instruments for public-private partnerships, the author substantiates the need to use innovative instruments – credit derivatives, the effectiveness of which is confirmed by international experience. The article offers a list of the most effective financial instruments that should be used at each stage of the project life cycle.It is concluded that the recommendations provided will ensure that the partners attract the necessary amount of financial resources in the process of long-term project implementation and will allow them to obtain a synergistic effect from such cooperation.
SUSTAINABILITY OF LOCAL PUBLIC FINANCE AND REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES IN TIMES OF CRISIS IN UKRAINE
Authors: Kotina Hanna , Stepura Маryna , Matviichuk Diana , Maister Anna
Published: April 2024

The socio-economic crisis in Ukraine, which has worsened over the past decade, has had a profound impact on all local communities. Local governments implementing decentralised mechanisms and anti-crisis financial measures are currently facing numerous theoretical and procedural constraints, which, although not homogeneous, have a cumulative effect. In the context of low economic potential and existing legislative constraints, local governments cannot actively manipulate consistent sources of local budget revenues (taxes) to support sustainable regional development, and therefore a coherent policy of credit and fiscal equalisation is an important aspect of ensuring the sustainability of local public finances. The purpose of the paper is to assess the correspondence between the fiscal sustainability of local budgets (with a focus on the borrowing component) and the economic sustainability of regions. Empirical studies of Ukraine's experience based on regression modelling have not found a clear direct link between the drivers of fiscal sustainability of local budgets (solvency, dependence on intergovernmental grants, stability of tax revenues) and the sustainability of socio-economic development of Ukrainian regions. In addition, in the context of the crisis and external shocks, strict adherence to the criteria of fiscal balance of local budgets undermines the ability to ensure a sustainable recovery of the regional economy, so it is important not to limit the fiscal capacity of communities by attracting local borrowings and intergovernmental grant during the crisis.

Published: April 2024

Information technologies play a crucial role in the modern economic system, acting as a driver for the development of the state. Information technologies are not only one of the most important factors stimulating economic growth but also contribute to the development of society, employment stimulation, and competition enhancement. The information technology market generates a significant portion of the GDP and export revenues. The analysis of the formation and development of the domestic information technology market is a key factor in understanding its importance in shaping the prospects of Ukraine as a digital state. The study analyses the dynamics of the development of the national information technology market, providing a comparative analysis of indicators between the Ukrainian market and several other countries.The article aims to analyse the macroeconomic impact of the information technology market on the development of the national economy, investigating correlation relationships between the rates of economic growth and various indicators both in Ukraine and in EU countries.The article explores the directions of the influence of the national information technology market on the dynamics of economic growth. Based on the conducted analysis, conclusions are drawn about the existence of a direct correlation between the growth of information technology export and GDP growth both in Ukraine and in European Union countries. The correlation between the increase in GDP and the growth of other important indicators in the information technology market, including the number of specialists and investments in scientific research, is analysed. Statistical methods reveal a relatively strong connection between the growth rates of investments in scientific research in the field of information technology and the GDP growth rate. At the same time, the correlation between the growth of the workforce in the information technology market and GDP is somewhat weaker.

Authors: Melo Germanda Nunes Vieira de , Cavalcante Jéssica Painkow Rosa
Published: April 2024

A implementação da Lei Maria da Penha em 2006 trouxe avanços na proteção contra a violência doméstica, mas a violência psicológica ainda é uma lacuna. O artigo 147-B do Código Penal brasileiro tenta abordar essa questão, criminalizando especificamente essa forma de agressão contra as mulheres. No entanto, sua eficácia e aplicabilidade são questionadas. Este artigo analisa as repercussões da violência psicológica na legislação e compara-a com a lesão corporal. Questiona-se se o artigo 147-B é um tipo penal autofágico, pois a falta de inclusão da violência psicológica como lesão corporal afeta a proteção das vítimas e a aplicabilidade da lei. O estudo busca viabilizar a inclusão da violência psicológica como uma modalidade de lesão corporal, destacando sua importância para refletir uma compreensão abrangente dos danos à integridade humana e garantir uma proteção legal eficaz às vítimas.

Authors: Andres Leandro Rubio
Published: April 2024

O objetivo deste estudo é examinar a importância e o impacto dos treinos em zona1 - um nível de treinamento com intensidade baixa a moderada, que se concentra no aumento da resistência cardiovascular e na melhora do metabolismo aeróbico. Através desta pesquisa, procura-se entender como essa metodologia pode aprimorar o desempenho dos corredores a longo prazo. A corrida é um esporte complexo que requer uma combinação adequada de velocidade, resistência, força e estratégia. Embora seja comum pensar que correr mais rápido nos treinos levará a um melhor desempenho durante as corridas, estudos recentes sugerem que integrar períodos de treino em zona1 pode ser igualmente ou até mais benéfico. Usando uma abordagem metodológica quantitativa e qualitativa, este estudo pretende analisar dados empíricos de corredores profissionais e amadores para fornecer insights sobre os benefícios dos treinos em zona1 na melhoria do desempenho na corrida. A pesquisa também irá explorar os princípios fisiológicos por trás dessa metodologia de treinamento para dar uma visão científica das implicações do treino em zona1. Espera-se que os resultados deste trabalho contribuam para o entendimento da importância dos diferentes tipos de treinamento na corrida, incentivando atletas e profissionais da área a considerarem a inclusão de treinos em zona1 em seus programas de treinamento.
A mathematical introduction to complex dynamical systems
Authors: Santos Rômulo Damasclin Chaves dos , Sales Jorge Henrique de Oliveira
Published: April 2024

This work proposes an investigation of the theory of dynamic systems, focusing on the analysis of entropy in its classical and topological manifestations. Initially, the fundamental concepts of dynamical systems theory are presented, with an emphasis on topological dynamical systems (TDS). Next, definitions of discrete topological entropy and its relationship to dynamical systems are discussed, followed by the introduction of topological entropy pressure as a weighted form of topological entropy. Subsequently, some applications of topological entropy in dynamic systems are examined, highlighting its role in the analysis of chaotic systems and in ergodic theory. Furthermore, we present a new theory, called Topological Ergodic Entropy Theory (TEET), which offers an innovative approach to the analysis of ergodic dynamical systems. Finally, the Ergodic Theory of Turbulent Flow (ETTF) is introduced, exploring the relationship between topological entropy and the ergodic properties of dynamic systems governed by the Navier-Stokes equations. The results presented contribute to a deeper understanding of the complexity of dynamical systems and their applications in various areas of mathematics and physics. The investigation of topological entropy and its applications in dynamical systems offers new insights into the chaotic and stochastic behavior of these systems, while the introduction of new theories, such as ETTF, provides a new perspective for the analysis and modeling of turbulent phenomena.

The construction industry is actively integrating technological innovations to optimize processes and mitigate solid waste in response to global challenges due to population growth and globalization. In this sense, this work addresses the imperative of sustainable development and waste decrease in construction. The research delves into using solid waste, such as ceramic block waste, granites, and marbles, in concrete and mortar production, highlighting challenges related to porosity and reduced mechanical strength. Additionally, the study investigates the incorporation of fibers to enhance the tensile strength of mortars. The main goal is the analysis of stone waste incorporation in mortar production, replacing 10% of sand, cement, and lime by considering particle size, water absorption, and chemical properties of stone powder. Experimental procedures involved cement of type 2, fine sand, and hydrated lime, with sieving systems applied for sand particle size testing. Compressive strength tests of a set of mortar compositions, including reference and modified proportions, were performed. chemical analysis through X-ray fluorescence (XRF) revealed composition aspects of stone powder and its impact on cementitious composites. Finally, it is advanced insights into compressive strength, particularly when the sand is replaced by stone powder, leading to the potential of stone powder to enhance sustainability in construction practices.

Este estudo qualitativo e participativo analisou a percepção de atores sociais de quatro municípios goianos sobre a implementação e a avaliação da Educação Permanente em Saúde (EPS). Realizado entre maio de 2018 e março de 2019 com 37 participantes, sendo trabalhadores, gestores e representantes do controle social, usou grupos focais e análise de interpretação de sentidos via software WebQDA. Identificou-se que a falta de suporte dos gestores, alta rotatividade dos profissionais e escassez de recursos, são os principais obstáculos para a efetiva implementação das ações de EPS. A pesquisa revelou que, apesar de os participantes terem consciência da importância da EPS, muitos profissionais de saúde ainda desconhecem ou não aplicam suas práticas. Destacou-se a irregularidade na avaliação das atividades de EPS, apontando a necessidade de uma avaliação efetiva para o sucesso da gestão e obtenção de resultados desejados. O planejamento e a avaliação contínua foram ressaltados como ferramentas importantes para monitorar a saúde pública e subsidiar decisões informadas dos gestores. Conclui-se que a avaliação desempenha um papel fundamental na implementação bem-sucedida da política de EPS em cada localidade, que possui potencial impacto na melhoria da qualidade da assistência prestada aos usuários do Sistema Único de Saúde.
MANAGERIAL ETHICS FOR TAX TRANSPARENCY: FINDINGS IN CHILEAN COMPANIES
Authors: Faúndez-Ugalde Antonio , Faúndez-Allier Juan , Toledo-Zúñiga Patricia , Toso-Milos Ángela
Published: April 2024

Background: The OECD has reported that companies that represent 83% of the market capitalization in Latin America maintain the trend of disclosing information on sustainability, with Chilean companies ranking first for the 2021 period. Thus, these sustainability standards constitute positive aspects to consider for organizational ethical development, with the aim that ethics fulfills the function of being a first preventive barrier, especially in sensitive areas such as tax transparency.
 
Objective: This study reveals the current trend on organizational ethical development in the tax field, based on interviews with the tax teams of 30 Chilean companies with the highest market capitalization published in the period 2021, allowing evidence of their ethical behavior in relation to good tax practices.
 
Method: The methodology includes a sample of 51 interviews of people who make up the tax teams of 30 Chilean companies with the highest market capitalization, allowing differences between several groups of variables to be detected using the Chi square test.
 
Results & Conclusion: The results show that despite the high commitment of the respondents to tax compliance and good practices in tax transparency, only 33% of them declare that they know the tax sustainability standards at an expert level, corresponding to the segment of people over 40 years of age and with a master's degree. Likewise, only 41% of those surveyed declare that they have participated in the disclosure of the company's tax strategies. On the other hand, the results confirm that although a high percentage of those surveyed believe that a robust organizational ethical strategy prevents and minimizes situations of tax avoidance or evasion, 63% of them estimate that it is still necessary for companies to continue advancing in higher quality standards of ethics in compliance with tax obligations.

Addressing the dual challenges of escalating demand for Lithium-Ion Batteries (LIBs) and the critical need for sustainable end-of-life management, this study proposes a novel framework for the design, construction, and operation of LIB recycling facilities grounded in circular economy principles. Through an integrative approach that combines life cycle analysis, sustainable architectural practices, and innovative recycling technologies, we offer a comprehensive solution to enhance the environmental, economic, and social sustainability of LIB recycling. Our framework emphasizes the importance of advanced material recovery techniques, the application of green building standards, and the integration of stakeholder engagement processes to ensure operational transparency and community involvement. By synthesizing insights from multiple disciplines, this research underscores the potential of sustainable LIB recycling facilities to contribute significantly to resource conservation, pollution reduction, and the transition towards a more sustainable and circular global economy. The findings highlight the pivotal role of policy support, technological innovation, and cross-sector collaboration in realizing the full potential of LIB recycling as a key component of sustainable development and environmental stewardship.
A review on the nutraceuticals of Parkinson's disease
Authors: Vella Cassidy , Blundell Renald
Published: April 2024

Parkinson’s disease is a neurological condition that progresses over time and causes both motor and non-motor symptoms. Both patients and healthcare professionals must deal with the numerous challenges of this disease. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the potential therapeutic effects of nutraceuticals—natural chemicals with alleged health benefits—in the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD). Parkinson’s disease is influenced by a variety of factors, including aging, genetics and exposure to certain environmental toxins. Additionally, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and protein aggregation play pivotal roles in the development of PD. The review integrated results from a variety of studies investigating the effects of different nutraceuticals, from preclinical models to clinical trials. This review focused on several key nutritional elements and dietary modifications that have a beneficial effect on a number of the pathogenic pathways, such as mitochondrial dysfunction and the antioxidant pathway, which are associated with the onset and progression of Parkinson's Disease. Hereby, we aim to explore the current body of research on nutraceutical interventions for Parkinson's disease, with a focus on their neuroprotective and symptomatic alleviation properties. Although numerous studies have been conducted on various nutraceuticals in relation to Parkinson's disease, currently there is no definitive evidence of their specific benefits in this condition. It is therefore strongly recommended that further studies and additional research be conducted in this area to gain a clearer understanding of the potential therapeutic effects.
