Medical errors in parenteral nutrition: A comparison of two	computerized programs used in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
Authors: Hodor Leah Greenspan , Tioseco Jennifer A. , Revenis Mary E. , McCarter Robert , Rais-Bahrami Khodayar
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Pediatric inpatient populations, including neonates, are at increased risk for clinically significant and/or potentially life-threatening medical errors. Computerized physician order entry (CPOE) holds the promise of reducing medication errors. Special attention must be paid to the match between the specialized needs of the population and the detailed capabilities provided by a CPOE system. As we transitioned from a system designed and developed by a team of pediatric/neonatal sub-specialists for the Children's National Medical Center (CNMC) NICU (TPN 2000) to a more general and adult medicine-based CPOE system (Abacus system, Baxa Corporation, CO), we compared the number and severity of medical errors between the two systems.

Method: In Phase I, we reviewed two hundred randomly selected daily TPN orders using the TPN 2000 system, for the number and severity of errors. Specific variables included calcium to phosphorus ratio, osmolality, total calories and dextrose concentration in relation to types of vascular access. Parameters of expected normality were established. Errors were identified and categorized into clinically significant, serious and potentially life-threatening. After 6 months of training on the Abacus system, Phase II began with a review of an additional 200 randomly selected TPN orders from the new system.

Results: The most common error was the calcium to phosphorus ratio which accounted for a 4% increase in the number of potentially life-threatening errors (11% errors in TPN 2000 vs. 18% errors in Abacus). Error rates for osmolality were 8.5% during Phase I vs. 0% in phase II. Total calories and dextrose rate errors were not statistically different. Osmolality and dextrose concentration in relation to access showed a 100% improvement in errors in both categories with Abacus vs. the TPN 2000 system.

Conclusion: CPOE has the potential to reduce medical errors in the neonatal population. However, a 4% increase in potentially life-threatening errors in calcium to phosphorus ratio seen in our study may support our contention that the sub specialist physicians' input is absolutely essential to the Health Informaticians when designing a new CPOE, modifying an existing one or evaluating and certifying a commercially available or custom developed CPOE system.
Developmental outcome of very low birth weight infants treated	with hydrocortisone for refractory hypotension
Authors: Lattimore Keri A. , Vazquez Delia M. , Barks John D. , Bhatt-Mehta Varsha
Published: December 2024

Background: Hypotension is a common problem in infants born prematurely and is associated with significant adverse events including increased risk for death, IVH, and adverse neurodevelopment. It has been postulated that relative or absolute adrenocortical insufficiency may be partly responsible for hypotension. This has lead to the widespread use of hydrocortisone as treatment for refractory hypotension. Several studies have documented the ability of hydrocortisone to increase blood pressure in the hypotensive newborn, but there is a paucity of information regarding its long term effect on neurodevelopment.

Objective: In 2001, our neonatology group established a protocol for the administration of hydrocortisone for the treatment of hypotension refractory to inotropes. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate neurodevelopment at 12 months corrected age (CGA) as assessed by the Mental development Index and Psychomotor development Index (MDI/PDI) components of the Bayley Scales of Infant Development (BSID).

Design/methods: Retrospective matched case-control study of VLBW infants treated with hydrocortisone according to protocol (n = 17) between 2002 and 2005 and BSID score at 12 months corrected age (CGA). Infants were matched on birth weight (BW), ± 300g and none/mild IVH (grades 0, I, II) versus severe (grades III, IV).

Results: Hydrocortisone exposed infants were significantly different from the no HC group in gestational age (GA), SNAPPE-II, inotrope score, incidence of PDA , days of mechanical ventilation, and ROP surgery. GA, SNAPPE-II, PDA, and ventilation days were independently significantly correlated with the primary outcome of MDI/PDI. Inotrope score was also significantly correlated with MDI. These variables were included as confounders in the multiple linear regression models. HC use was not a significant predictor of MDI (p = 0.7604) or PDI (p = 0.5593) after adjusting for GA, Inotrope score, SNAPPE-II, ventilator days and PDA by multiple linear regression.

Conclusions: HC was not a significant predictor of MDI/PDI scores at 12 months CGA when controlling for a large number of predictors of abnormal neurodevelopment.
Tidal volume delivery and peak inspiratory pressure in babies	receiving volume targeted or time cycled, pressure limited ventilation: A	randomized controlled trial
Authors: Swamy Ravi , Gupta Samir , Singh Jaideep , Donn Steven M. , Sinha Sunil K.
Published: December 2024

Objective: To study the consistency of tidal volume delivery and the respiratory parameters in babies randomized to either volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) or time-cycled, pressure-limited ventilation (TCPLV).

Methods: 90 babies between 24 to 32 weeks' gestation who formed part of the original controlled trial comparing VCV vs TCPLV were studied. As a part of the study protocol, these babies were continuously monitored for key respiratory parameters. Hourly recording of these parameters was obtained for 78 hours or until extubation if it occurred earlier. Consistency of tidal volume delivery and other parameters such as PIP, PEEP, Paw, Cdyn, Ve & FiO $_{2}$ were compared using the Student's t-test with a two-tailed significance level of ⩽0.05.

Results: Complete datasets were available on 86 babies, 45 on VCV and 41 on TCPLV. The mean expired tidal volume was slightly higher, and the mean FiO $_{2}$ was lower in the VCV group compared to TCPLV. This was also associated with a higher PIP in VCV compared to TCPLV (16.9 cmH $_{2}$ O vs. 15.3 cmH $_{2}$ O, p = 0.033). However, VCV was associated with significantly higher variability of peak inspiratory pressure and significantly less variability of tidal volume delivery (0.87 mL/kg vs 1.12 mL/kg, p = 0.009).

Conclusions: Despite targeting identical exhaled tidal volumes, VCV was associated with consistent tidal volume delivery compared to TCPLV. This may have significance to clinical practice and future research.

How Does Loss Aversion Mediate the Relationship Between Personality Traits and Efficiency of Skills in Investment Decision- Making?
Authors: Jayawardena A.M.A. , Nanayakkara N.S.
Published: December 2024

This study examines how loss aversion mediates the connection between personality factors and the effectiveness of investment decision-making skills among individual investors at the Colombo Stock Exchange. This research challenges the neoclassical paradigm that presumes investor rationality. Instead, it accords with behavioural finance, which emphasizes deviations from rationality in both beliefs and preferences. Using Prospect Theory as a framework, this study examines how the five major personality traits -conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism, and openness to experience influence investment decision-making. Analyzing data from 351 investors, a structured questionnaire and purposive sampling were used. The analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modelling with SmartPLS4. The results demonstrate notable correlations: individuals with a higher level of openness to experience and agreeableness tend to have a positive impact on their investment decision-making, whereas extraversion, openness to experience, and conscientiousness are highly associated with loss aversion. Loss aversion plays a crucial role in connecting extraversion, conscientiousness, and openness to experience with investment decision-making. This study enhances the field of behavioural finance by providing a detailed understanding of how personality traits and loss aversion influence investing choices.

Published: December 2024

Higher education is a cornerstone of sustainable development in any nation. In Vietnam, educational policies are constantly evolving to keep pace with societal progress. The rise of private higher education and the implementation of tuition policies have contributed to improved educational quality, prompting the government to establish regulations promoting university autonomy. This study aims to determine the moderating effect of university policies on the relationship between school characteristics and brand equity. Using partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), data from 699 respondents in Vietnam were analyzed to identify key factors linking policy to university brand equity. The findings reveal that brand equity is significantly shaped by the interaction between school policies and school characteristics, highlighting that policy, particularly those related to services, play a critical role in enhancing a university’s brand. These results suggest that universities should prioritize the clarity and strategic alignment of their service policies to strengthen brand equity. By doing so, higher education institutions can enhance their competitive advantage and better serve their stakeholders in an increasingly competitive environment.

Published: December 2024

The study aims to identify which pricing strategies are most effective in retaining clients, with the purpose of providing practical guidance for audit firms in Vietnam to enhance their competitiveness and sustainability. The study used quantitative methods, using survey data collected from 257 experts in 132 small and medium-sized auditing companies (with an annual revenue of less than VND 300 billion) in the Vietnamese auditing industry. Hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling to analyze the relationships between pricing strategies and client retention rates. The results reveal that Value-based pricing (VBP) and Dynamic pricing (DYP) strategies have a positive and statistically significant impact on client retention, while Cost-plus pricing (CPP) and Competition-based pricing (CBP) do not show significant effects. These findings are significant as they highlight the evolving nature of the Vietnamese audit market, emphasizing the growing importance of value communication and pricing flexibility. The implications suggest that small and medium-sized audit firms in Vietnam should focus on developing more sophisticated, value-oriented pricing strategies to improve client retention and strengthen their market position. This research contributes to both theoretical understanding and practical application in the field of audit pricing in emerging markets.

Published: December 2024

The primary purpose of this study is to assess the policies that affect the ethics of business and draw recommendations for an ethical and sustainable policy for the improvement of Business Sustainability in Bangladesh’s RMG sector. The RMG sector is crucial to Bangladesh’s economy, being the backbone and providing the highest export earnings. A PST (Purposive Sampling Technique) was used to collect the data by conducting self-administered surveys completed by 279 participants from 20 RMG companies situated in five different areas. The potentials and perspectives given in the feedback are practical in terms of ethics and the present tendencies in the field. The research shows a strong positive link between an ECC (Ethical Code of Conduct) and BS (Business Sustainability) (r = 0. 256) and an even more substantial correlation for CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) (r = 0. 355). Ethical leadership also demonstrates a positive relationship with business sustainability (r = 0.282). Additionally, there is a weaker but still positive connection exists between BS and NG (New Governance) (r = 0. 168). Such findings highlight the importance of ethical business regulation since it can be instrumental in enhancing Bangladesh RMG firms’ sustainability. Managers, who play a critical role in this process, are particularly important in retaining experienced employees and promoting ethical practices. This study underscores the need for robust ethical frameworks to ensure the long-term sustainability and competitiveness of the RMG industry in Bangladesh. Bangladeshi enterprises participating in such RMG industry must imitate sustainable studies in their operations to gain a competitive benefit in the market and develop sustainable value propositions.

Authors:   Universidad Nacional de Itapúa, González Mónica María , Dressler Diana Paola , Talavera Liliana Noelia
Published: December 2024

Entre el 5-10 % de los casos de cáncer de mama (CM) son atribuidos a mutaciones genéticas hereditarias. Los genes BCRA 1 y BCRA 2, presentan variantes asociadas a CM de alta prevalencia y penetrancia. La prevalencia de dichas variantes difiere de acuerdo con las poblaciones estudiadas dependiendo de factores como ser etnia y distribución geográfica. El objetivo del trabajo se basó en desarrollar ensayos para la amplificación de regiones que han sido reportadas como portadoras de variantes genéticas asociadas a CM en estudios regionales. Se realizaron selección de regiones blanco, diseño de cebadores a través de la herramienta Primer3, amplificación por PCR de las regiones a partir de ADN genómico extraído de sangre entera de un paciente voluntario al azar y chequeo de los fragmentos amplificados en geles de agarosa. Se diseñaron dos pares de cebadores para amplificar regiones que contienen tres variantes observadas en mujeres de ascendencia paraguaya y de otros países que puedan estar representados en la población itapuense: c.5351_5352insA; c.5681_5682insA y c.4035delA. Los resultados de la amplificación utilizando los cebadores diseñados dieron fragmentos de tamaños esperados. Los cebadores diseñados permitirán evaluar en mujeres itapuenses variantes asociadas a cáncer de mama hereditario encontradas en estudios latinoamericanos previos.

Published: December 2024

Este estudio permitió analizar la influencia del capital semilla y la academia en la sostenibilidad de los negocios de mujeres emprendedoras beneficiarias del Programa REEMUJERPY/MIC en Itapúa, Paraguay. La metodología utilizada es mixta, descriptiva y de corte transversal, basada en encuestas a 78 de las 112 beneficiarias del programa y en una entrevista a un responsable del Centro de Apoyo a Emprendedores de la universidad. Los hallazgos indican que la mayoría de las emprendedoras son de áreas urbanas, tienen educación superior y están motivadas por la independencia económica. A pesar de valorar positivamente sus habilidades de gestión, enfrentan desafíos en la organización y gestión financiera. Aunque la universidad proporciona capacitaciones, se señala la necesidad de extender su duración y ofrecer asesoramiento personalizado. Las emprendedoras destacan áreas de mejora en marketing, contabilidad, tecnología e innovación. Si bien la gestión financiera del capital semilla es considerada adecuada, se reconocen oportunidades para mejorar el seguimiento y la elaboración de informes. El programa ha sido beneficioso para las emprendedoras de Itapúa, pero se recomienda optimizar la duración de las capacitaciones, brindar asesoramiento personalizado, fortalecer la gestión financiera y fomentar la creación de redes.

Innerhalb der Migrationsforschung sind die Einflüsse von familiären Beziehungen auf die Identität und bei der Bewältigung der Gestaltung neuer Lebenswege noch immer eher wenig im Fokus. Vielfach werden Probleme und Konflikte zwischen migrantischen Müttern und Töchtern orientalisiert. Auch wird debattiert, wie die Deutschkenntnisse der migrantischen Eltern, hier insbesondere der Mütter, sich auf den Schulerfolg auswirken (Goddar 1998). Um differenzierter mehr darüber zu erfahren, welche Rolle Entscheidungsmuster in der Erziehung spielen und wie sie die Lebenswege der migrantischen Kinder prägen, werden im vorliegenden Beitrag anhand eines Gesprächs mit meiner Mutter, die in der Türkei geboren ist und als Jugendliche nach Westdeutschland migrierte, die Entscheidungsmomente für den Bildungsbereich in meiner Erziehung skizziert. Anhand dieses autobiographischen Materials sollen Erfahrungen von Müttern und Töchtern im Migrationskontext beleuchtet und exemplarisch gezeigt werden, wie wir gemeinsam und individuell mit den Veränderungen umgegangen sind. Daraus ergeben sich Hinweise darauf, wie migrantische Mädchen ihre Identität und Zugehörigkeit somit auch ihre Geschichte definieren und welche Entscheidungen aus welchen Gründen von migrantischen Müttern in der Erziehung getroffen werden. Mein Ziel ist es, ein tieferes Verständnis für intergenerationale Dynamiken zu schaffen und die verschiedenen Wege zu einer erfolgreichen Bildungslaufbahn und damit gesellschaftlichen Partizipation zu beschreiben.

Zur Überwindung der Rassengrenzen entwickelte der Sozialpsychologe Elliot Aronson in den USA Anfang der 1970er- Jahre das Gruppenpuzzle. Heute wissen wir: Diese Methode ist lernwirksam und fördert zugleich prosoziales Verhalten, positive Emotionen und das Gefühl der sozialen Zugehörigkeit. Sie ist also ideal für die Schule in der Migrationsgesellschaft.

Human trafficking is a pressing global issue, especially in the Southeast Asian region, where Indonesia plays a role as a country of origin, transit and destination. This study aims to identify the cooperation between the Indonesian Police and ASEANAPOL using descriptive qualitative research methods. This research also highlights the role of ASEANAPOL through 4 strategies of handling Indonesian Police in collaboration with ASEANAPOL which include capacity building through training (ATCM), international meetings (AMMTC and SOMTC), electronic-based real-time information exchange (System e-ADS), and strengthening cross-border investigation mechanisms through the Joint Coordination System (JCS) with border guarding and dispatching personnel such as Attache POLRI (ATPOL) and POLRI Technical Staff (STAFNISPOL). While this research focuses on preventive responses to human trafficking, there are limitations that need to be considered, including aspects of prevention and prosecution involving victim identification and protection. Future research is recommended to explore all aspects, including prevention and prosecution measures, to develop ASEANAPOL’s organisational framework in addressing transnational crimes.
