Understanding and Improving Current Risk Management Practices in Hospital Settings
Authors:   Ministry of Health, Saudi Arabia, Alzahrani Mohammed Mastour
Published: November 2022

A large number of patients in the healthcare industry have adverse events. Risk management has been implemented in hospitals to ensure patient safety. However, there is still a lot of room for improvement in current risk management practices. As a result, the purpose of this research is to better understand risk management practices in hospital settings and to make recommendations to improve them. While a questionnaire survey was created to understand current risk management applications, risk management literature was reviewed in order to comprehend and improve these risk management applications. The findings show that over 70% of practitioners and managers regard risk management as defining threats to patients, while only a minority agree on the ISO definition of risk. Furthermore, nearly half of practitioners and managers agree that risk assessment is more important than risk mitigation. To manage risks, participants mostly used Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA), brainstorming, and risk matrix techniques. Based on the results of the questionnaire and the literature review, risk management practices could be advanced by emphasizing safety culture, staff involvement, safety training, risk reporting systems, and risk management tools.

For the simultaneous determination of Nitazoxanide and Ofloxacin in tablet dosage form, a simple reverse phase liquid chromatographic method was developed and validated. A mobile phase containing acetonitrile, methanol, and 0.4 M citric acid (60:30:10, v/v/v) was used for the separation. Thermo C18 (4.6mm*250 mm, 5 ) column was used, with a flow rate of 1 mL/min and UV detection at 300 nm. Nitazoxanide and ofloxacin had retention times of 3.071 and 12.47 minutes, respectively. The described method was linear over a concentration range of 5-30 g/mL for Nitazoxanide (r2>0.999) and 2-12 g/mL for Ofloxacin (r2>0.998). The mean percentage recovery for Nitazoxanide was 99.96% and 101.05% for Ofloxacin. Nitazoxanide and Ofloxacin had limits of detection (LOD) of 0.3788 and 0.0929 g/mL, respectively. The limit of quantification (LOQ) for Nitazoxanide and Ofloxacin, respectively, was 1.1479 g/mL and 0.2816 g/mL. The study's findings revealed that the proposed RP-HPLC method is simple, fast, precise, accurate, and cost effective, making it suitable for routine determination of Nitazoxanide and Ofloxacin in bulk and tablet dosage forms.
Management of Diabetes Mellitus, Risk Factors and Complications
Authors:   Ministry of Health, Saudi Arabia, Almotairi Faheed Mothib
Published: November 2022

Chronic progressive metabolic problem and chronic hyperglycemia caused by a dysregulation of protein, lipid, and carbohydrate metabolism are two symptoms of diabetes mellitus, a complicated condition. Verapamil belongs to a group of calcium channel blockers that are not dihydropyridines. It works by preventing calcium from entering beta cells' cytoplasm, preventing the second phase of insulin release driven by glucose, as well as sulfonylurea and glucagon. Nephropathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy are examples of microvascular consequences of diabetes mellitus (cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease). In both kinds of diabetes mellitus, higher urine albumin excretion (proteinuria) or decreased kidney glomerular filtration rate are symptoms of diabetic nephropathy, a microvascular consequence. By lowering patients' blood sugar levels and reducing their risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus therapy aims to reduce mortality, delay the onset of disease complications, and slow the disease's progression. Metformin increases peripheral glucose utilization, liver, muscle, and adipose tissue sensitivity to insulin, inhibits gluconeogenesis, and reduces glucose absorption from the gastrointestinal system.

Published: November 2022

Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting technology has emerged as a powerful bio- fabrication platform for tissue engineering because of its ability to engineer living cells and bio-material based 3D objects. Diverse bio-inks based on synthetic and natural biomaterials have also been created and successfully used for tissue regeneration at the same time. Over the past few decades, the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, which aim to develop functioning tissue-constructs replicating native tissue for the repair and/or replacement of damaged tissues or entire organs, have advanced quickly. Traditional tissue engineering methods, which include scaffolds, growth factors, and cells, had less success fabricating complicated 3D structures and regenerating organs in vivo, which made them logistically and financially unworkable for clinical applications. In this regard, 3D bioprinting, which is an extended application of additive manufacturing is now being explored for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine as it involves the top-down approach of building the Layer-by- layer construction of complicated tissue, thereby producing precise geometries due to controlled nature of matter deposition with the help of anatomically accurate 3D models of the tissue generated by computer graphics. In this article, we seek to present a thorough analysis of the 3D bioprinting techniques, including ink-jet printing, extrusion printing, stereolithography, and laser aided bioprinting methods. With the exact control of structure, dynamics, and biological elements—such as cells and extracellular matrix (ECM)—3D bioprinting has a tremendous deal of promise to build very complex constructions.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a nosocomial pathogen that often develops multidrug resistance. Treating P. aeruginosa infection can be difficult, high cost with high mortality rate. Novel treatment is needed to handle this common clinically encountered issue. Recent research has suggested that Essential Oils (EOs) have the potential to act as antibiotics on P. aeruginosa by inhibiting the formation of biofilms and the functions of efflux pumps. Because of lower cost, EOs have huge potential for developing countries and underdeveloped area. Innovative therapeutic technologies, such as nano-encapsulation of EOs, have been utilized to enhance EOs’ effectiveness. This review summarizes the mechanisms of EOs in P. aeruginosa treatments, the current application of EOs, and future developments of EOs in and beyond clinical practice.

Published: November 2022

The paper deals with the problems of the occurrence of aggression and aggressive behavior as a provoking cause of various injuries and the need to provide pre-hospital emergency care. Based on the analysis of professional literature, as well as on the basis of experience from practice, it can be stated that members of Emergency Rescue Service exit groups often encounter manifestations of aggression and aggressiveness when providing pre-hospital emergency care. The results of a retrospective observational study of the medical records of the Plzeň and Ústí regions in the Czech Republic are presented. We focused on the analysis and in-depth examination of the calls of ambulance groups to patients whose injuries were caused by aggression and aggressive behavior. This was in terms of the number of call-outs, the frequency of individual diagnoses, NASA score and urgency level, as well as the characteristics of the deployment of individual call-out groups, etc. Options for managing aggression and aggressive behavior are also presented, including an assessment of the potential risk of aggression and escalation. Attention is also paid to the issue of preparing the members of call groups to cope with this negative phenomenon, which has an increasing tendency in the conditions of providing pre-hospital emergency care. The paper deals with this issue comprehensively.

Authors: PALAVENIS Donatas
Published: November 2022

The aim of this document is to outline the historical development, roles and responsibilities of the European Defence Agency (EDA), decision-making procedures and discuss its activities that could support the Lithuanian defence industry. The findings show that the Agency continues to play an important role in coordinating participating member states (pMS) and their defence industries, enabling projects, suggesting prioritization tools, and fostering initiatives that seek greater strategic autonomy of the EU. The successful accomplishments of EDA initiatives depend on the ‘national appetite’ of pMS. The results of the research suggest a limited Lithuanian interest in the various EU programs, supervised by the EDA, that could boost the developments of the indigenous defence industry and research related to defence.
Application of Technologies for Influencing the Weather in Contempoprary Geopolitical Situation
Authors: SHEVCHENKO Olena , HORIACHEVA Kira
Published: November 2022

The article discusses the use of technologies for influencing the weather by the main actors of international relations and the potential consequences of the use of these technologies on global security. The authors showed that technologies for influencing the weather are currently being actively studied and legally applied in developed countries of the world (for example, in the USA, China, Russia and the United Arab Emirates) for precipitation management. However, the use of such systems for military purposes can pose serious threats not only for countries using such technologies and their neighbors, but also on a global scale, especially since the consequences of using methods of influencing the weather are not well understood in the long term. The authors believe that one of the ways to control the use of technologies for influencing weather on global level is the creation of a special international monitoring service, which will be responsible for coordinating research and the use of weather management technologies by states.

Published: November 2022

The period in which countries around the world, including the Czech Republic, found themselves at the end of 2021 was characterized by a number of very significant political and security threats and risks. It was a period in which the next wave of the pandemic situation associated with the COVID-19 disease was manifesting itself. Even though the Czech Republic was already much better prepared for the problems associated with the outbreak of this disease, it could not be said that it was managing everything well, without problems and within the political consensus of all ruling and opposition parties. Based on results achieved in the elections to the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic, which took place in October 2021, the priorities of the winning parties grouped into one government coalition were set. These priorities were presented in the form of a coalition agreement to the public. A paper deals with the anticipated intentions of the Government of the Czech Republic in its implementation for the 2021-2025 electoral period in the issues of safety and security in all aspects of their perception. Among the aspects examined were the areas of security policy implementation and the broader concept of population protection. In the paper, the terms “security” and “protection” are frequented in the number and form in which they appear in the text of the coalition agreement. The paper presents the occurrence of these terms in the documents that became the basic and initial documents for establishing mutual pre-election cooperation between political parties and movements. Last but not least, it also presents changes in the approach to these concepts in relation to coalition agreements concluded in 2013 and 2017. Other aspects of coalition agreements are deliberately not mentioned.

Published: November 2022

The relevance and necessity of the implementation and use of geoinformation systems for military purposes is due to the general increase in the requirements of the troops (forces) for the efficiency, completeness and quality of the information support of the management process. The armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine creates new challenges to the state’s information security and necessitates a review of the requirements for information support in general and for geoinformation suppo rt in particular.
The paper determined that the foundation of the Unified Geoinformation Environment of the Armed Forces should be a service-oriented architecture (SOA) of distributed geodatabases, that provides a common platform for all subjects and users to access the resources of the Unified Automated Management System of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Unified Geoinformation Environment (UGE) of the Armed Forces should be formed as a set (network) of interconnected geoportals, the purpose of that is to consolidate information on spatial data available in the Unified Automated Management System of the Armed Forces, that are processed and provided for use in the form of geoservices as well as creating a single-entry point of users into this environment. UGE of the Armed Forces of Ukraine should provide access to data stored in the system of distributed geodatabases. The format and method of using the services should be based on the use of national, international and military standards, that are a single, agreed and approved set of data presentation standards, interfaces, as well as computer programs developed according to the principle of service-oriented architecture for all types of armed forces.

Authors: DVOŘÁK Petr , ŠTOLLER Jiří
Published: November 2022

The article deals with the issue of the energy efficiency in military camps. The military camps are mostly built during military deployments in case of exercises or missions. As different kinds of temporary structures are typically used to shelter large part of the camps’ facilities, the area of improvement for better energy efficiency lies mainly in the utilization of energy efficient devices, machines and pieces of equipment that are used by deployed personnel. The resulting lower energy consumption does not only bring lower financial and logistical burden to the military units but also contribute to the lower environmental impact of military activities. And ultimately, lowering energy use, especially fossil fuel, may result in cleaner environment and significantly affect health of deployed personnel. Overall, there are many benefits brought by energy efficient devices and equipment in several overlapped areas in military camps and their surroundings.

Published: November 2022

The most notable machines that currently have the impact of eliminating humans from direct contact with the enemy are various types of remotely controlled or autonomous drones. They wreak havoc and fear in the enemy camp, significantly affecting the outcome of current conflicts. The fact of increasing the advantage in the attack causes the need for adequate defense or rescue measures. Thus, the use of remote-controlled drones for rescue/medical purposes seems a natural or even necessary path for the development of military technology. The described drone is intended to be unmanned, designed to transport only one injured person to be evacuated from an area of intense combat with the usage of an onboard robot. It is intended that the drone will be electrically powered which will reduce the possibility of detection due to acoustic and heat signature.

Prepared samples have been assessed at the MU in Brno even from the behaviour against freely lying drops of the sulphur mustard point of view. At the Military Technical Institute of Protection (VTUO) some selected samples have been subsequently evaluated even from the behaviour of freely lying drops of sulphur mustard. Supposed behaviour of the Chemical Warfare Agent (CWA) of the VX type, sulphur mustard and Soman have been simulated within selected samples with observation of freely lying drops of the olive oil, nitrobenzene, and propanol with similar values of the surface tension as above-mentioned CWA. Founded values of contact angles have been compared with contacts values of contacts angles founded in the scope of two developed materials of the coating textiles for modernized filtration protective garment with classical hydrophobic or oleo phobic modification which have been provided with the company of B.O.I.S. – Filtry, Ltd. Within all samples the change of contact angles in time and also the homogeneity of the modification have been considered. The stability and mechanical sustainability of applied sets against washing has not been evaluated. It has been proved that with the help of plasma-chemical modification is possible to prepare nanocoatings even with ultra-hydrophobic (the contact angle for water is bigger than 150 °) and super oleo phobic (the contact angle for water is bigger than 136 °) properties on suitable textile materials. The best results, so called the effect of a lotus flower, have been reached mainly within two samples of textile materials contented a part of nomex fibes.

Published: November 2022

The aim of the research was to assess the possibility of using various types of civil aircraft for terrorist attacks. The main methods were: analysis and synthesis, analogy, generalization, comparison and inference. The research was based on the analysis of the literature as well as normative and doctrinal documents. Scientific observation where used, which focused on practical examples and attempts to use civil aircraft by terrorists to attack civilian objects from 2001 to 2020. Considering the large diversity of each types of aircraft, a criterion analysis was used to evaluate them in terms of their suitability for terrorist attacks. As a result of the conducted analytical research, three groups of aircraft were selected, which are particularly predisposed as potential tools of terrorist attacks on civilian objects. The first group consists of large-size structures such as passenger and transport planes, the use of which in attacks may cause the greatest losses, both material and human. The next group consists of small-sized light and very light airplanes, microlight, unmanned aerial vehicles and radio-controlled models. This type of aircraft and flying machines are in a period of dynamic development and, at the same time, of great interest on the part of terrorist groups. It was also found that in the case of attacks using explosives or taking into account aviation fuel (which, as a result of an aircraft collision with an object, usually explodes), greater possibilities give large aircraft, such as passenger and transport aircrafts.

In this article, the influence of aggressive environments on a two-layer coating was investigated. Modern industry places high demands on quality control methods and coating properties during operation. It was established that the electrical resistance of epoxy composite samples depends significantly on the nature of the filler, the cohesive strength of the coatings, and the ambient temperature. We have determined the initial values of the volume resistance of epoxy composites and the temperature values when the samples lose their dielectric properties. The effectiveness of the use of electrospark water hammer treatment with the subsequent introduction of a bidisperse filler at optimal concentrations, which will increase the resist ance of protective coatings, is shown.

AOS: Anti-Obesity System With Deep Learning-based Classification Model Using a Novel Data Augmentation Technique
Authors: Kim Sungmin , Kim Kyoung-Hyoun
Published: November 2022

Obesity has been a worldwide leading cause of associated health risks for decades, yet not much is being done to solve this issue. Previously, minimal efforts have been made to address this issue in regards to mandating nutrition labels on the back of packaged foods. However, the mundane and growingly elusive packing labels have diminished the proper effects of this constitution as people rarely ever take the time nor effort to thoroughly read through the labels. Moreover, most dishes served from restaurants do not serve with any nutritional information, which places many of the people dining out in complete darkness of what they are truly consuming. To solve this problem, we propose the deep learning-based AOS (Anti-Obesity System), which analyzes images of common junk foods and unhealthy meals to classify the category of food. The proposed system consists of a deep learning-based classifier and a post-processing module that outputs relevant nutritional information regarding each category of food. In addition, we propose a novel data augmentation technique in order to make the trained model produce better results. We also conduct the ablation study to experimentally prove that the proposed method enforces the model to work better in real-world situations. We achieve an AP of 59.30% on the proposed food dataset. Code will be available at https://github.com/smkim0508/ObesityNutritionClassifier.git.
Dementia and Non-Pharmacological Interventions: Comparing Different Interventions and Agitation Levels
Authors: Brent Catherine , Orlinski Jennifer
Published: November 2022

Agitation is one of the most prevalent symptoms among Dementia patients. To conclude which type of intervention eases agitation most efficiently, art-centered interventions and music-centered interventions were conducted and observed. Behaviors observed during musical interventions included patient participation, singing, and dancing while behaviors observed during art-centered interventions included bonding over complaints. To ensure accuracy, the observed results are compared with scores on the Quality of Life Scale. Both results show Dementia patients favor music, decreasing the amount of agitation displayed.

Gündelik yaşantımızda sıradan insanların kendi yaşantılarından ve anlatılardan hareket eden sözlü tarih verileri toplumsal yaşamda kültürün birer yansımasıdır. Toplumsallaşma ve bir arada yaşam ile ortaya çıkan bu ortak kültür bireyleri birbirlerine bağlayıcı kılma ve bir arada yaşamayı içerisinde barındırmaktadır. Tarihin yazılı kaynakları kadar toplumun hafızasında yer alan tarihsel bilgiler de büyük önem arz etmektedir. Bireylerin birer canlı tarih olarak bilgi birikimlerinin paylaşılması ve gün yüzüne çıkarılması noktasında sözlü tarih büyük öneme sahiptir. Kaybolmaya yüz tutmuş kültürel mirasa dayalı çeşitli bilgi ve olaylar toplumları bir arada tutan temel mitler olarak ifade edilebilir. Bu noktadan hareketle çalışmamızın amacı Tokat il merkezin de yer alan mahalle sakinlerinin yaşadıkları mahalle isminin anlamı ile ilgili bilgileri sözlü tarih uygulamaları ile belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışma da nitel araştırma desenlerinden olgu bilim yöntemi kullanılmış olup araştırmaya konu olan mahalleler Tokat merkez ilçe de yer alan 42 mahalle ile sınırlandırılmıştır. Bu amaçla hazırlanan görüşme formu ile bizzat mahalle sakinlerinden yaşça daha büyük yetişkin katılımcılarla görüşme gerçekleştirilmiş olup konuyla ilgili veriler kayıt altına alınmıştır. Sosyal bilgiler öğretiminde yer alan sözlü tarih uygulamaları ile birey yaşadığı çevre ve soy ağacıyla ilgili bilgileri bizzat elde edebilmektedir. Böylece Tarih öğretimini daha eğlenceli kılma ve bilgiyi keşfetmesi sağlanmaktadır. Toplumu bir arada tutan kültürel miras ve kültür öğelerinin gelecek kuşaklara aktarılması, topluma ait olma ve farkındalık oluşturmak ancak tarihsel bilgi birikimi ile gerçekleşebilmektedir.
Araştırma bulgularında 7. Sınıf öğrencilerinin sözlü tarihe ilişkin bilgilerinde eksilikler olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Öğrencilerden bazıları ise cadde, sokak isimlerini yaşadıkları mahalle olarak ifade ettikleri görülmüştür. Ayrıca 39 mahalle isminin anlamı, isminin belirlenmesinde etkili olan durumlar ortaya konulmuştur.

Condicionantes y trayectorias en el desarrollo del sector del software en el ámbito local
Authors: Girolimo Ulises
Published: November 2022

En los últimos años, las dinámicas sectoriales asociadas a la creciente estandarización en el desarrollo de software –y las prácticas empresariales tendientes a la deslocalización y la prestación de servicios de manera remota– abrieron una ventana de oportunidad para que nuevos países, regiones y territorios se volcaran a la actividad. Este artículo analiza los condicionantes y las trayectorias para el desarrollo del sector en Tandil y Bahía Blanca (Argentina) durante 2003-2018. La estrategia metodológica es cualitativa. Recurre a entrevistas semiestructuradas y se complementa mediante el análisis de fuentes secundarias. Los resultados sugieren que, en ambas ciudades, se llevaron a cabo acciones heterogéneas y se crearon instituciones que contribuyeron al desarrollo de estas actividades. En la medida en que se lograron coordinar acciones, consensuar lineamientos de actuación y asignar recursos, fue posible avanzar en la resolución de problemáticas específicas que limitaban el desarrollo del sector en el ámbito local.
Eficiencia técnica provincial en la faena bovina con destino al mercado interno
Authors: Pérez Santiago Agustín
Published: November 2022

La actividad agroindustrial de la faena bovina cumple un rol fundamental en el funcionamiento del sistema agroalimentario de América Latina y Argentina específicamente. El objetivo del trabajo fue determinar la eficiencia de escala y gestión de cada provincia argentina del año 2020, así como sus holguras y otros indicadores. El trabajo se desarrolló con la técnica de análisis envolvente de datos (data envelopment analysis [DEA], por sus siglas en inglés) mediante el software R-Studio y aplicando los modelos clásicos output orientados. Lo novedoso de esta técnica es la utilización de la herramienta empresarial en el ámbito territorial. El stock de cabezas bovinas con destino a la faena, el consumo provincial y los establecimientos de faena activos se utilizaron como inputs. La faena provincial destinada al mercado interno se utilizó como variable de output. Los principales resultados indican que, a partir del modelo de retornos constantes de escala, las provincias eficientes son Buenos Aires, La Pampa, Mendoza, Santa Fe y Tucumán. Mediante el modelo de retornos variables de escala, son eficientes las provincias de Catamarca, San Luis, San Juan, La Rioja y Tierra del Fuego. Santa Fe es la provincia de mayor referencia para las provincias ineficientes.

Objetivamos, com esta pesquisa, compreender a expressão variável do futuro verbal na comunidade de fala de Garanhuns-PE.  Buscamos analisar se há maior realização em futuro sintético ou em futuro perifrástico. Para tanto, partimos da descrição/análise de fatores linguísticos (tempo verbal, paralelismo formal e extensão lexical do verbo principal) e de fatores extralinguísticos (faixa etária - 15 a 25 anos, 35 a 45 anos e 55 a 65 anos; sexo – masculino e feminino; e escolaridade – ensino médio e superior conclusos). O corpus desta pesquisa foi constituído a partir da coleta de falas espontâneas de informantes residentes na cidade de Garanhuns-PE, correspondente a 36 entrevistas e duração média de 10 minutos. Os dados foram codificados e rodados no software computacional GOLDVARB X (2005). Diante dos resultados fornecidos, concluímos que os falantes da comunidade de fala de Garanhuns- PE tenderam a utilizar com maior frequência a forma perifrástica do futuro verbal. Dentre os grupos de variáveis selecionados temos, nesta ordem: faixa etária, escolaridade, extensão lexical e paralelismo formal, como variáveis relevantes para esse estudo. A pesquisa em tela tem como embasamento teórico-metodológico a Teoria da Variação Linguística (LABOV, 2008 [1972]), que trata da interação entre o uso da língua e a organização social do comportamento linguístico. Vale pontuar que há poucos estudos a respeito da expressão variável do futuro verbal (forma simples ou perifrástica) na língua falada de Pernambuco, consequentemente, inexistente na língua falada em Garanhuns. Nesse sentido, acreditamos que um estudo descritivo, a fim de traçar o perfil sociolinguístico da Comunidade de Fala em questão, tende a contribuir com os estudos sociolinguísticos desenvolvidos pelo Grupo de Estudos em Análise e Descrição Linguística (GEADLin/UPE), que objetiva mapear sociolinguisticamente o Agreste Meridional Pernambucano.
