Communicative Competence as an Important Component of the Education of Future Doctors
Authors:   International European University, Myruta Nataliia M. , Zhovnir Volodymyr A. ,   NCCH Ohmatdyt
Published: October 2024

The aim of the article is to study educational and professional programs in the specialty «Medicine» on the formation of future doctors’ communicative competencies that meet modern requirements. At present, medical education in Ukraine is mainly aimed at acquiring professional competencies by future doctors. But, as the study of foreign and domestic publications has shown, the requirements for their qualifications are much wider. It is very important to provide students with knowledge and skills, and ultimately competencies related to the ability to communicate, establish friendly relations with patients based on partnership and respect. The article analyzes the modern requirements for doctors in terms of communicative competencies, the requirements for doctors in accordance with regulations, as well as the standard of higher education in the specialty «Medicine» and educational and professional programs of medical higher education institutions in Ukraine. The analysis showed that in the normative act, which describes the requirements for the qualification characteristics of a doctor, there are requirements only for professional knowledge, and there is no communicative component. The analysis of the standard showed that communication competencies include «the ability to use information and communication technologies» and «the ability to interpersonal interaction». However, these are general competencies that students should have in all specialties. Therefore, the peculiarities of communications precisely in the medical field are not taken into account. Each higher education institution has the right to add additional competencies and disciplines to the educational and professional program, but, as the analysis has shown, this is not the case. On the other hand, the list of communicative competencies provided by specialists is much wider. Another and no less important issue that is disclosed in publications, especially in foreign ones, is the assessment of communicative competencies that applicants for higher medical education received during their studies. As follows from the analysis of the relevant educational and professional programs, insufficient attention is paid to this issue too, while only the professional competencies of the future doctor are evaluated. Thus, the study has revealed the discrepancy between the communicative competencies that are formed in future doctors during training and modern requirements.

A Critical Examination of Business Ethics in Relation to Economic Sense: Perspectives of Customers and Business Proprietors in Region (5) Guyana
Authors: Umadevi Narain  , Lydia Narain
Published: October 2024

This study was pursued to provide statistical and empirical evidence of whether or not business ethics makes economic sense. A critical examination of business ethics and whether or not it makes economic sense was examined by taking into consideration the perspectives of business stakeholders.  Economists, business proprietors and customers do not always agree on the concept of business ethics as the moral principles and values implemented for good governance. Customers and business proprietors were targeted to gain insights from different stakeholders on the issue of business ethics and whether or not it makes economic sense. The recommended strategies to be implemented to perpetuate business ethics while at the same time ensuring business growth and development were also considered. This research paper utilized a mixed methods research approach in conjunction with a descriptive online survey and structured interview for the quantitative and qualitative aspects respectively. The inculcation of primary and secondary data provided empirical and statistical substantiation to establish recommendations and to draw conclusion. An element of triangulation was integrated to add robust analytical evidence. The perspectives of customers and business owners on business ethics and economic sense were analyzed through the online survey and interviews responses were grouped, coded and themes were generated to answer the research question: To what extent does business ethics makes economic sense? The perspectives of customers guided the critical examination of what customers expect from businesses, where business ethics was the point of focus. On the other hand, the perspectives of business owners provided data on the implications of adhering stringently to business ethics and whether or not business ethics makes economic sense. The views of participants from opposing ends provided both conflicting and correlated data. However, both customers and business owners were in agreement that businesses should adhere to business ethics.

How Attitude, Social Norms, and Perceive Behavioral Control Impact Entrepreneurial Intention with Additional Characteristics of Migration Background from Central/East Java
Authors: Yulius  , Susanti Yulita F.
Published: October 2024

Indonesia currently possesses the third fastest growing economy among the G20 economies, but it has shown recent problems with Wealth Distribution issues based on its GINI number, which has been growing during the presidency of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. Indonesia's status has also been stuck in a lower middle-income country for 13 years, based on data from 2018 (Lumbangaol & Pasaribu, 2018). Much of the wealth is located in big cities such as Jakarta. But every year, we do see the phenomena of wealth distribution that happen during Idul Fitr / EID Mubarak / EID Al Fitr. The year 2023 marked the largest number of mudik ever, with the number predicted to be 123.8 million people moving to their family origin location (kominfo, 2023). This is almost half of the population of Indonesia (45.8%). This study intends to study the migration background/migration trait and use it as a comparison characteristic in the Theory of Planned Behaviour with the Independent Variable of Attitude, Social Norms, and Perceived Behavioural Control and the dependent variable of Entrepreneur Intention. Data was gathered using questionnaires from previous research and then processed by SPSS and SEMPLS to quantitatively test the hypotheses. 144 respondents from the JABODETABEK area participated in the research. The hypotheses tested are that Migration Trait has a moderating effect on Entrepreneur Intention. The study result did not show the effect of migration traits on moderating the effect of attitude, social norms, and perceived behavioural control on entrepreneurial intention. The result can become a base for further study in this area.
Cyber Security Exploits and Management in Telecommunication Companies: The Case of Uganda
Authors: Okori Washington , Buteraba Sarah
Published: October 2024

This study examined the risks faced by telecommunication companies due to cyber-attacks and threats to their critical information infrastructure. It suggests control measures to avert the vulnerabilities of such infrastructure to cyber attackers. Critical information infrastructure is important to the companies as a revenue enabler and reputation identifier. However, the infrastructure, if not well protected, can be a national security threat, affect the national economy, and disrupt societal integration and business globally. Cyber security is the protection of internet-connected systems, including hardware, software, people, and data, from cyber-attacks. Its threat exploits the increased complexity and connectivity of critical infrastructure systems. The identification of the critical information infrastructure was done through document analysis and discussion with the network technical teams. The infrastructure systems, such as devices, servers, data, database, firewall, and network, were identified in this study as vulnerable to attack. This study suggests a framework to support timely intrusion detection and for the protection of critical information infrastructure. To secure and safeguard the critical information infrastructure from inherent vulnerabilities, it is recommended that continuous monitoring of the critical infrastructure attack gates should be made part of the overall risk management of a telecommunication company, and innovations in cyber security detection and prevention should be harnessed.

INTELLIGENT INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES FOR PROACTIVE ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT
Authors: Onyshchenko A. , Sizova N.
Published: October 2024

Industrial enterprises are essential to a country’s economy, providing diverse, high-quality goods, technologies, and services. To remain sustainable and efficient amidst rising production demands and stiff competition, these enterprises must adopt innovative management techniques. Each enterprise has a mission, resources, technologies, and strategies to achieve its varied goals, with dominant economic goals like income, profitability, and market share interlinked and affecting one another. A competitive enterprise’s overall goal should align its growth with market trends while proactively managing its operations.
Proactive management involves either passively aligning with market trends or actively influencing them by introducing new products and services. The mismatch between an enterprise’s growth and market trends can flag potential problems or crises, underscoring proactive management’s role in preempting issues. This strategy, though simple, is vital for an enterprise’s survival, sustainable operation, and efficient growth in a fiercely competitive environment with escalating production of quality goods and services.
Therefore, an urgent issue is developing an information platform based on appropriate mathematical models and methods that facilitate the implementation of proactive management of industrial enterprises and create the basis for predicting possible problems in production and taking measures to prevent them.
Integrating advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Big Data Analytics, and the Internet of Things enhances the proactive management system’s capability. These technologies enable real-time data collection and analysis, providing enterprises with critical insights and allowing them to anticipate market shifts and operational challenges. By leveraging these tools, enterprises can make more informed decisions, streamline their processes, and achieve higher operational resilience and flexibility.
Industry 4.0 and 5.0 can significantly support Ukrainian manufacturing during the war. Thanks to automation and robotics, it is possible to maintain production even in the face of limited access to labour or hazardous working conditions. Artificial intelligence and advanced analytical systems can help optimise logistics, inventory management, and production processes despite disruptions caused by military actions.
In conclusion, proactive management is not just a strategic choice but a need for industrial enterprises aiming to thrive in today’s fast-paced and highly competitive market. By incorporating cutting-edge technologies and adopting a forward-thinking approach, enterprises can ensure long-term sustainability, improved performance, and a better competitive edge.

PROBLEMS OF DETERMINING THE BOUNDARIES OF THE SUBURBAN AREA OF THE LARGEST CITIES OF UKRAINE
Authors: Mykhidenko M.
Published: October 2024

The article examines a relatively recent concept used in regulatory documents, known as the largest cities in Ukraine. Unfortunately, statistical data on the population size has not been kept in Ukraine for a long time, which makes it challenging to conduct the research in the most detailed and in-depth manner. Despite this, the study used data from enterprises and industries, cartographic data, and field surveys. It allowed us to identify seven potentially largest cities: Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odesa, Dnipro, Donetsk, Lviv, and Zaporizhzhia.
The authors studied the concept of suburban areas in detail and found differences between different classes of suburban areas. We used works from various scientific fields: geographical, economic, sociological, legal, and urban planning, which makes this article interdisciplinary. Also, we considered the regulatory legal documents of the State Building Code, the Laws of Ukraine, and historical materials.
The cities of this study tend to grow and spread geographically throughout the area, signalling us to revise previously accepted interpretations and norms of suburban areas. It led us to conduct the study and adopt a new definition of the suburban area of the largest city. Therefore, the ‘suburban area of the largest city’ is the territory located outside the largest city along transport and motorways and providing close partnership with the city in economic, environmental, recreational, cultural, labour, scientific, and other areas. The article considers the modern problems of the suburbs, such as territorial conflicts on the appropriation of land, conflicts on the use of territories not for their intended purpose, and clashes between developers of the residential sector, enterprises, and the ecological framework. In the latter, the natural flora and fauna system suffers the most. External factors also influence the slowdown of suburban development: military conflicts, instability of foreign policy, economic decline, and others. To prevent such a scenario, we have defined the goals and objectives of the suburbs. In the current situation in Ukraine, this study can help to facilitate further research on the development of territories.
Keywords: suburban area, largest cities, planning, boundary, accessibility.
Possibilities to escape the rental trap
Authors: Mixa Mar Wolfgang , Tryggvadottir Kristin Erla
Published: October 2024

Despite a resurgence of economic activity since the 2008 financial crisis and longstanding government policies promoting homeownership, the percentage of renters has remained stable over the past decade despite most preferring homeownership. This study examines the time required for various rental market groups to save for a down payment on an apartment in the capital area from 2011 to 2022. We also assess the potential impact of a government program allowing certain low-income groups to set aside just 5% of a property’s price as a down payment. The focus is on people in the lowest 20th percentile group. Using data on wages, taxes, compulsory pension contributions, and spending patterns, we analyze how much each group can realistically save, considering both minimal (bare) and typical consumption benchmarks. This analysis reveals how much each group can save for a down payment. Our findings show that despite economic prosperity and wage increases outpacing the consumer price index (excluding housing costs), the time needed to save for a down payment in 2022 remains nearly the same as in 2011 due to rising housing prices. Single parents face the most difficulty saving for a down payment, but the 5% down payment program offers a more realistic path to homeownership. The implications are that government policies should focus on controlling house prices and continuing the 5% down payment program to enhance homeownership opportunities.

India has a rich tradition of imparting education in Medicine since the ancient times; which has evolved over the years. As the years progressed several reforms in medical education have been made until recently the Competency Based Medical Curriculum (CBME) has been introduced in the medical colleges in India. Although CBME has been the framework of medical education in Western countries such as Canada, US, UK it has been adopted from 2019-20 onwards in India. This curriculum of Medical Education has goals to create “Indian Medical Graduate” (IMG) with a set of roles expected to be fulfilled in the form of achieved “competencies” with inclusion of qualities such as clinician, life-long learner, communicator, leader and medical professional. There are certain challenges outlined for the implementation of CBME. However, there are also guidelines in the form of various Teaching -Learning Methods (TLM) and appropriate Evaluation or Assessment Methods to be adopted. The types of TLM outlined are Integrated Method, Self -Directed Learning (SDL), Case Based Learning, Small Group Discussion, Flip Classroom Model, Mentor -Mentee System etc. in this paper. Assessment or Evaluation methods strongly support the backbone of the curriculum. Either Formative or Subjective Methods of Assessment can be adopted to monitor the TLM. The types of Assessment which can be applied are also reviewed. Although the scope and impact of CBME are immense but it faces the test of time in future. The current medical education is time-based, outcome -based, involves structured learning, time-flexible and learner -centric approach is utilized.
Aortic Disease in Neurology
Authors:   Independent Researcher, Franjic Sinisa
Published: October 2024

The aorta is the largest artery in the body that comes out of the left ventricle of the heart. Oxygen-rich blood enters the aorta with each contraction of the left ventricle and reaches all tissues and organs in the body through its small branches. The walls of the aorta consist of three layers that are made of different tissues: an inner thin layer, a middle thicker elastic layer and a thin outer layer. The walls of the aorta must be flexible enough to accommodate all the blood that is ejected from the left ventricle during each contraction. Elastic fibers are especially dense in the part of the ascending aorta where the blood pressure is the highest.

Background: Spondylosis or degenerative spondylosis which is also called spinal osteoarthritis osteoarthrosis is a disorder characterized by degeneration of the joints of the spine. Clinical the condition presents with low back pain of variable severity and the diagnosis is confirmed by X-ray. Patients And Methods: A man who was born in 1967 presented with acute lumbago, lower back pain that was associated with restriction of movement because of pain. Results: At about the age of 55 years, a diabetic and hypertensive presented with acute lumbago, lower back pain that was associated with restriction of movement because of pain. The pain occurred suddenly while standing and was not associated with lifting a weight. Physical examination revealed no neurologic deficit. Because of the sudden onset of the condition, and the association with painful mobility radiographs of the lower spine was performed and showed loss of the normal lordosis, marginal osteophytosis, subchondral sclerosis, and mild narrowing of the L4-L5 space. A radiologic diagnosis of degenerative spondylosis was made. Conclusion: In the case of degenerative lumbar spondylosis presenting with acute lumbago, the current expert opinion recommends the addition of low dose baclofen to the analgesic-anti-inflammatory medication, based on the evidence provided by Migliorini et al and Dapas et al. Supplementation with collagen and hyaluronic acid is recommended for few months with aim of improving the degenerative process, based on the evidence provided by Giacomo Farì and his research group.

Authors: Apolo Naranjo Adriana Carolina , Cabrera Padrón María Isabel
Published: October 2024

Introducción: Ante la preocupación por la duración prolongada del tratamiento ortodóntico se han desarrollado diversos métodos para reducir este tiempo y proporcionar mayor confort, bienestar y seguridad tanto al paciente como al operador. Existen varias modalidades para acelerar el desplazamiento dental, tales como técnicas quirúrgicas, biológicas y físicas; sin embargo, los enfoques quirúrgicos y biológicos representan métodos muy invasivos y, por tanto, son menos preferidos por los pacientes.  Entre los métodos físicos se encuentran los dispositivos de vibración, mismos que han sido ampliamente aceptados debido a su facilidad de uso y comodidad. Estos aparatos generan micro pulsos para aplicar fuerzas cíclicas controladas y puede operar a frecuencias iguales o superiores a 90 Hz denominándose de alta frecuencia, mientras que aquellos que operan a frecuencias iguales o inferiores a 45 Hz se clasifican como de baja frecuencia. Objetivo.  Revisar mediante la literatura si el uso de los dispositivos de vibración genera una aceleración significativa en el movimiento ortodóntico. Metodología.  Se realizó una exhaustiva revisión bibliográfica utilizando distintas bases de datos, que incluyeron Pubmed, Cochrane y Google Académico donde se recaudó información de 21 artículos, relacionados con el uso de dispositivos de vibración en ortodoncia, independientemente del tipo de aparato que se use durante el tratamiento. Resultados. La evidencia proporcionada por los 14 artículos muestra resultados variados, donde 5 de ellos reportan un aumento significativo en la tasa de aceleración del desplazamiento de las piezas dentarias mediante el uso de dispositivos de vibración y los 9 artículos restantes muestran que los dispositivos de vibración influyen en el movimiento dental pero la aceleración obtenida no es estadísticamente significativa. Conclusión. Los dispositivos de vibración pueden influir en el movimiento dental; no obstante, la tasa de aceleración lograda mediante su uso no es considerablemente significativa. Sin embargo, esto constituye un punto de partida valioso para futuras investigaciones.

Abstract
The objective of this research is to examine how financial literacy and financial attitudes impact the management of household finances, with self-efficacy serving as a mediating factor. Using a quantitative approach and SmartPLS4 analysis, data were collected through questionnaires from 70 housewives who are students of the Islamic economics study program. The results show that financial literacy has a significant impact on household financial management and also significantly affects self-efficacy. Self-efficacy was also found to significantly influence household financial management. However, financial attitudes do not show a significant impact on household financial management, although they do have a significant effect on self-efficacy.

Penelitian ini membahas peran penting Sumber Daya Manusia  di Koperasi Simpan Pinjam dan Pembiayaan Syariah (KSPPS) dalam pembangunan ekonomi, dengan fokus pada KSPPS Arthamitra Sejati. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus, melibatkan wawancara dan observasi langsung. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun KSPPS Arthamitra Sejati diminati oleh pelaku UMKM, terdapat beberapa masalah terkait sumber daya manusia (SDM), seperti rekrutmen berbasis rekomendasi, pendidikan karyawan yang rendah, dan praktik double job. Ketidakseimbangan kinerja karyawan disebabkan oleh kebijakan SDM yang kurang optimal, yang menghambat efektivitas operasional koperasi. Untuk mengatasi masalah ini, koperasi harus meningkatkan pelatihan intensif, analisis pekerjaan yang mendalam, dan komunikasi efektif antara manajemen dan karyawan. Selain itu, penting bagi koperasi untuk memiliki tenaga kerja yang terampil dan menguasai prinsip-prinsip ekonomi syariah. Pengembangan karir, pengukuran kinerja yang efektif, dan budaya partisipasi aktif juga dianggap penting dalam memaksimalkan potensi SDM. Dengan pendekatan holistik ini, KSPPS diharapkan dapat meningkatkan kinerja dan mencapai tujuan organisasi secara lebih optimal
