Short messaging system (SMS) works as one of the most popular strategies for physicians’ behavior change via sending feedback and reminder messages. One of the areas in which SMS feedback can be effective on physicians’ behavior is CT scan ordering. This study investigates the effect of mobile phone SMS feedback on residents’ head CT scan ordering at a general teaching hospital in Iran. Through a three-month before-after experimental study, an intervention was conducted, and the CT scans ordered by an individual resident were evaluated every two weeks. Consequently, personal SMS-based feedback was provided to the residents, and the rate of CT per patient in the two phases of the study was analyzed. The mean CT scan ordered per patient decreased from 1.98 ± 1.09 to 1.74 ± 1.45, and this decrease was insignificant (P = 0.106). SMS-based feedback can reduce head CT scan ordering among residents; whereas this decline was not significant further studies are required to investigate its effectiveness.

Published: January 2022

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a chronic wound and a common diabetic complication as 2% – 6% of diabetic patients witness the onset thereof. The DFU can lead to severe health threats such as infection and lower leg amputations, Coordination of interdisciplinary wound care requires well-written but time-consuming wound documentation. Artificial intelligence (AI) systems lend themselves to be tested to extract information from wound images, e.g. maceration, to fill the wound documentation. A convolutional neural network was therefore trained on 326 augmented DFU images to distinguish macerated from unmacerated wounds. The system was validated on 108 unaugmented images. The classification system achieved a recall of 0.69 and a precision of 0.67. The overall accuracy was 0.69. The results show that AI systems can classify DFU images for macerations and that those systems could support clinicians with data entry. However, the validation statistics should be further improved for use in real clinical settings. In summary, this paper can contribute to the development of methods to automatic wound documentation.

Published: January 2022

During the COVID-19 pandemic, artificial intelligence has played an essential role in healthcare analytics. Scoping reviews have been shown to be instrumental for analyzing recent trends in specific research areas. This paper aimed at applying the scoping review methodology to analyze the papers that used artificial intelligence (AI) models to forecast COVID-19 outcomes. From the initial 1,057 articles on COVID-19, 19 articles satisfied inclusion/exclusion criteria. We found that the tree-based models were the most frequently used for extracting information from COVID-19 datasets. 25% of the papers used time series to transform and analyze their data. The largest number of articles were from the United States and China. The reviewed artificial intelligence methods were able to predict cases, death, mortality, and severity. AI tools can serve as powerful means for building predictive analytics during pandemics.

Authors: Diz Felipe Ane , Ziegl Andreas , Hayn Dieter , Schreier Günter
Published: January 2022

Frailty is one of the major problems associated with an aging society. Therefore, frailty assessment tools which support early detection and autonomous monitoring of the frailty status are heavily needed. One of the most used tests for functional assessment of the elderly is the “Timed Up-and-Go” test. In previous projects, we have developed an ultrasound-based device that enables performing the test autonomously. This paper described the development and validation of algorithms for detection of subtasks (stand up, walk, turn around, walk, sit down) and for step frequency estimation from the Timed Up-and-Go signals. The algorithms have been tested with an annotated test set recorded in 8 healthy subjects. The mean error for the developed subtask transition detection algorithms was in between 0.22 and 0.35 s. The mean step frequency error was 0.15 Hz. Future steps will include prospective evaluation of the algorithms with elderly people.

Published: January 2022

The National Library of Medicine (NLM) controls and publishes the thesaurus Medical Subject Headings which is used for indexing PubMed. Besides an XML export, the NLM offers a web based MeSH browser. The platform contains English terms. The German Institute for Medical Documentation and Information (DIMDI) partially translated and published these terms. Recently, the German National Library of Medicine (ZB-MED) overtook the translation of MeSH. However, there is no dedicated platform which focuses on MeSH and covers multiple languages. Here, we address this gap, by offering a modern multilingual searchable MeSH browser. A modular platform using open source technology is presented. The frontend enables the user to search and browse terms and switch between different languages. The current version of the presented MeSH browser contains English and German MeSH terms and can be accessed at https://mesh-browser.de.

Embedding Risk-Based Anonymization into Data Access Control for Providing Individual-Level Health Data in a Secure Way
Authors: Sariyar Murat , Holm Jürgen
Published: January 2022

Especially in biomedical research, individual-level data must be protected due to the sensitivity of the data that is associated with patients. The broad goal of scientific data re-use is to allow many researchers to derive new hypotheses and insights from the data while preserving privacy. Data usage control (DUC) as an attribute-based access mechanism promises to overcome the limitations of traditional access control models achieving that goal. Park and Sandhu provided the usage control (UCON) model as an instance of DUC, which defines policies that evaluate certain attributes. Here, we present an UCON-based architecture, which is augmented with risk-based anonymization as provided by the R package sdcMicro and an extensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) environment with a core policy decision point as implemented by authzforce.

Pitfalls of Social Media in the Era of COVID-19 Pandemics
Authors: Alanazi Abdullah , Aldosari Hanan , Aldosari Bakheet
Published: January 2022

In December 2019, Wuhan, China, reported an outbreak of nSARS-CoV2 that caused viral pneumonia, COVID-19. Li Wenliang, a Chinese ophthalmologist, first communicated on Chinese social media about the existence and spread of the unknown viral pneumonia in Wuhan, China. By the end of March 2020, the virus had spread worldwide. However, non-scientific information related to the viral outbreak, disease, and mortality spread even faster on social media. This study performed literature searches among different databases, i.e., PubMed, PubMed Central, and Web of Science, to understand the pitfall of social media during the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of non-scientific information on public health. Social media not only shared information regarding the outbreak of nSARS-CoV2 and COVID-19 disease but also misinformation regarding epidemiology, government policies, prevention, cure, and vaccination. Thus, strict regulation is required to control the spread of misleading information.
The Impact of Virtual Reality in Enhancing the Quality of Life of Pediatric Oncology Patients
Authors: Alanazi Abdullah , Ashour Faisal , Aldosari Hanan , Aldosari Bakheet
Published: January 2022

Pediatric oncology interventions involve many challenges, such as multiple hospitalizations, invasive procedures, and adverse physical and psychological treatment side effects. Treatment burden, including administration of general anesthesia, contributes to high levels of psychological distress among pediatric patients and their families. Virtual reality (VR) is a distraction method, which offers an extremely realistic and interactive virtual environment and helps reduce pain and distress by means of a head-mounted display and headphones. VR is based on two crucial dimensions: immersion and presence, which results in the complete suspension of disbelief that the experience is artificial and allows a greater degree of presence and reaction to the stimulations. The VR technology has become a common practice in scientific and clinical research due to its affordability and ease of use. In pediatric settings, the most widely researched clinical application of VR has focused on the effectiveness of VR distraction therapy in the attenuation of acute pain, anxiety, and distress during invasive medical procedures. It has also been hypothesized to be a nonpharmacological form of analgesia that positively influences the body’s intricate pain modulation system during painful medical procedures. In this review, we showed the potential benefits of VR technology during radiotherapy and intrathecal procedures on pediatric oncology patients and its involvement in enhancing their quality of life during and after the treatment. Therefore, a collaboration between researchers, clinicians, and programmers is crucial for the inclusion of VR technology in more clinical procedures, which would consequently enhance the patient’s quality of life.

Implementation of digital technologies as a tool for the development of the flax industry
Authors: Velikanova I. V. , Dichensky A. V. , Grits N. V.
Published: January 2022

Relevance. The introduction of digital technologies into the flax industry is an integral part of increasing production efficiency. Competently adapted new digital solutions are prerequisites for expanding opportunities and strengthening of the competitive position of both individual economic entities and the industry as a whole. One of the main reasons of limitation of the introduction of new, including digital, technologies in flax cultivation is a high proportion of physically worn out, with depreciation up to 100%, and obsolete equipment, which often leads to critical deviations in technological operations, from pre-sowing tillage to post-harvest works. This is reflected in the effectiveness not only of the individual operations carried out (poor-quality performance, lagging behind the deadlines, etc.), but also on the efficiency of flax cultivation and, ultimately, on the profitability of the flax-growing business itself. Considering that many farms still use equipment manufactured in the 1970s initially there is a question of widespread introduction of complex mechanized and automated technologies, and then the transition to the use of digital technologies and automated control systems. In this regard, the task of scientists is to create conditions for the introduction of innovative technologies and the development of agricultural services for the digital transformation of agricultural production.

Methods. The work used a wide range of analytical methods used to study economic phenomena in the agro-industrial complex, in particular, in flax growing.

Results. The main advantages of digital transformation of agricultural production processes in flax growing are considered, scientifically grounded developments of the Federal Scientific Center for Bast Crops and JSC Scientific Research Institute of Information Technologies in the field of information and analytical system of crop production management are proposed, a model for managing business processes based on digital transformation and state support for the introduction of digital technologies at all stages of the production process is proposed.
Methodological approaches to the choice of policy of agricultural seed provision of the Russian Federation
Authors: Uzun V. Ya.
Published: January 2022

Relevance. In the normative legal documents and scientific publications, various options for the policy of providing Russia with seeds are considered. In most of them, the emphasis is on increasing the share of the sown seeds of domestic selection (including those produced in the country or abroad), the share of seeds of domestic production (including seeds of domestic selection and seeds of foreign selection localized in Russia), the share of varieties of domestic selection allowed for use in the Russian Federation, the number of newly developed varieties of seeds. Business does not always select seeds in accordance with the recommendations of the authorities and science: its policy is aimed at sowing seeds of high quality, which in many cases leads not to an increase, but to a decrease in self-sufficiency in the seeds of domestic selection and production.

Methods. Various options for the policy of seed production in Russia have been studied, including the production of seeds of domestic selection, the localization of production of seeds of foreign selection in Russia and Russian selection abroad, import and export of seeds of domestic and foreign selection. Indicators for the economic assessment of each of the crop-specific policy options have been developed. The comparison of the results of the Russian policy of seed provision with the policy of Germany and Poland is carried out. As one of the indicators of the quality of domestic seeds, it is proposed to use the ratio of prices of exported domestic seeds and similar seeds exported by other countries.

Results. The necessity of transition from the threshold level of seed self-sufficiency established by the Doctrine of Food Security 2020 to its differentiation for individual crops, taking into account the seeds of domestic and foreign selection produced in Russia, is substantiated. With regard to sunflower, along with the localization of the production of foreign-bred seeds in Russia, special measures are needed to replace the import with domestic-bred seeds. For peas and soybeans, the task of import substitution has been solved due to the localization of the production of seeds of foreign selection (the share of imported seeds is less than 1%). A forward-looking policy should be aimed at achieving a positive export-import balance in seeds.
Isolation, identification and probiotic properties of vaginal isolates of lactic acid bacteria of healthy slaughter cows
Authors: Malik N. I. , Malik E. V. , Malenkova J. A. , Rusanov I. A. , Gagaeva E. A.
Published: January 2022

Relevance. The use of antibiotics to treat infections of the reproductive tract in cows can cause bacterial resistance to antibiotics and endanger human health. Potentially, preparations from representatives of the lactic acid vaginal microflora (probiotics) can be used as a biological control to reduce the use of antibiotics in animal husbandry.However, the specific composition of the vaginal lactic acid microflora of healthy dry cows and its probiotic properties remain poorly documented.

Methods. The species identification of catalase-negative gram-positive isolates of bacteria forming colonies on MRS agar isolated from utero-cervical mucus of healthy lactating cows was carried out in accordance with standard procedures using a culturedependent approach, biochemical tests and tests for sugar fermentation using API50 CHL strips (bioMеrieux, France). For testing for antagonistic activity by the method of delayed antagonism against test cultures of staphylococci and Escherichia, 14 isolates were selected in accordance with typing assigned to 5 species of the genus Lactobacillus.

Results. The results obtained indicate that the utero-vaginal biocenosis of healthy lactating cows is represented by microorganisms of the Lactobacillaceae family, including lactic acid enterococci and bacteria of the Leuconostocaceae family. The presence of representatives of the genera Aerococcus, Peptostreptococcus and Gardnerella vaginalis was found in the composition of the vaginal biocenosis in cows without signs of pathology of the birth canal. According to the results obtained, the vaginal population of lactic acid bacteria of the genus Lactobacillus has low or medium antagonistic activity against test cultures of indicatory strains of staphylococci and Escherichia.

Efficiency of grass-field crop rotation in the foothill zone of the RSO – Alania
Authors: Mamiev D. M.
Published: January 2022

Relevance. Crop rotations remain a key element of modern agricultural systems and solve the whole range of tasks for the rational use of land, the reproduction of soil fertility, its protection from erosion, the protection of the environment and the entire agricultural landscape.

Methodology. Field studies were conducted on leached chernozem with a close occurrence of pebbles in the conditions of the forest-steppe zone of the RSO – Alania. The experiment was placed by the method of organized repetitions, the repetition of the experiment is three-fold, the variants were placed by the method of trial plots, the shape of the plot is rectangular. The total area of the plot is 240 m2, the accounting area is 186 m2. The tab of experiments, phenological observations, and statistical processing of the obtained data were carried out according to the generally accepted methods described in the educational and methodological manual of Adinyaev E.D., Abaev A.A., and Adaev N.L. (2013).

Results. In the conditions of the foothill zone of the RSO – Alania, the studied crops of the grass-field crop rotation had a positive effect on the structural and aggregate properties of the soil, the water resistance of soil aggregates, as well as on the productivity and energy potential of the cultivated crops. Clover and winter wheat had the most favorable effect on the soil structure, having a longer growing season, a welldeveloped root system, providing better protection of the soil in autumn and spring from the destructive effects of atmospheric precipitation. Row crops in this respect had a low rating. The ability to form structures in potatoes is particularly weak. As a result of the research, it was found that the studied soil has a good structural condition, since it contains from 52.1 to 55.8% of water-bearing aggregates. It was found that the volume mass varied for all crops of the crop rotation. By the end of the growing season, almost all variants showed a tendency to increase the volume mass. In general, the average soil density under all crops was optimal throughout the study period. The highest yield of feed units was noted for the following variants: oats + clover – 9.83 t/ha, clover – 9.49 t/ha, corn – 9.49 t/ha. More digestible protein was contained in the clover crop, the rest of the crops were about the same level. The grass link is more productive, where the collection of feed units and digestible protein significantly exceeded the indicators of the rowed link (7.96 t/ha – grass link and 6.33 t/ha – rowed link).
Assessment of the influence of hydrothermal conditions on the yield of winter wheat under different agricultural technologies in the grain-fallow-row crop rotation
Authors: Lukyanov V. A. , Pruschik I. A.
Published: January 2022

The article considers the influence of hydrothermal conditions of the Kursk region on the yield of winter wheat grain under different agricultural technologies. The Central Chernozem region differs from other regions of Russia and over the past decades there has been an increase in temperature, the amount of precipitation exceeds long-term data and is unevenly distributed by seasons. The current situation creates a certain climatic risk of crop loss. During the research period, it was found that the hydrothermal regime is unstable over the years and it largely determines the yield of winter wheat for various types of agricultural technologies, especially in 2017–2018 and 2018–2019. The paper shows that the spring reserves of productive moisture did not affect the yield. The correlation analysis allowed us to assess the degree of correlation between the yield of winter wheat and hydrothermal factors.
El paradigma del pastorado femenino en la iglesia evangélica de hoy
Authors: Sá Danielle Mendonça de , Ghedini Robson Maurício
Published: January 2022

Actualmente, hay iglesias que optan por limitar la contribución de las mujeres en el ejercicio de su ministerio en algunos sectores eclesiásticos, o incluso por silenciarla. Por lo tanto, esta investigación se basa en la siguiente pregunta: ¿cómo ayuda el análisis del papel de la mujer en el contexto bíblico a aceptar la legitimidad del pastorado femenino en la iglesia evangélica de hoy? Así, el objetivo de este estudio es proporcionar un nuevo horizonte en la comprensión del tema del liderazgo eclesiástico femenino, con el fin de contribuir a la resolución de este problema y a la ruptura de paradigmas, a la luz de la Santa Biblia, describiendo las principales dificultades que enfrentan las mujeres en el ejercicio ministerial, al tiempo que se busca comprender el pensamiento derivado de aspectos del contexto social, político, histórico, económico y religioso desde la época en que se escribieron los textos bíblicos. Para ello se utilizó la investigación bibliográfica y el enfoque cualitativo como presupuesto metodológico descriptivo, pues era necesario presentar elementos y hechos extraídos de la historia respecto a estos aspectos, ya que la combinación de todos permitió traducir la forma en que hombres y mujeres de la época se comportan, pensaban y sentían. También se entiende que este pensamiento impregnó la tradición de la Iglesia a lo largo de los siglos, sin embargo, se enfatiza que la tradición cultural de la época no tiene los mismos elementos socioculturales de hoy. En este sentido, se recopila información sobre las dificultades que enfrentan las mujeres en el campo social y religioso, la función femenina en el judaísmo, su participación en el cristianismo, desde la forma en que Jesús las trató; a su participación en la Iglesia Primitiva, además de ofrecer espacio para el análisis de textos bíblicos que arrojan luz sobre la visión bíblica de los ministerios femeninos, un relato de la historia de Débora, pastora en la práctica, aunque no lleva el título, así como, discursos sobre el ministerio pastoral como un don dado por Dios. Se concluye que hoy se llama a mujeres más valientes, valientes, fieles a Dios, piadosas, obedientes, leales, pastoras de almas, como Débora, María, Hulda, entre otras. Después de todo, para los hombres y las mujeres hay un Dios, una misión (la suya), una visión y un objetivo, Jesús.
Basta crer em Jesus cristo para ser salvo?
Authors: Nascimento Marcelo Victor Rodrigues do
Published: January 2022

O Evangelho de Jesus Cristo, segundo Marcos, diz, em Marcos 16:16, que quem crer e for batizado será salvo, sugerindo duas etapas para a salvação: a fé e a ação. Contudo, trata-se de um assunto polêmico, pois no verso seguinte é dito que quem não crer será condenado, sem citar o batismo. Assim sendo, o presente artigo, tem como questão norteadora: como compreender as palavras de Jesus quando disse: “Quem crer e for batizado será salvo” (Marcos 16:16), sugerindo duas etapas para a salvação: a fé e a ação? Portanto, tem como objetivo investigar, com base em Marcos 16:16, se há necessidade de produzir as obras da fé, começando pelo batismo, para que o cristão seja salvo, ou basta apenas crer em Jesus Cristo, o Filho de Deus, sem necessidade de produzir qualquer obra. Metodologicamente, foi realizada uma análise qualitativa de 15 (quinze) matérias postadas na internet por teólogos e estudiosos da Bíblia, cujo tema era, direta ou indiretamente, a soteriologia cristã, aliada a um estudo descritivo e transversal, destinado a observar o número de interlocutores que defendiam esta ou aquela corrente soteriológica, ambos realizados no período de setembro a outubro de 2021. Como resultados, verificou-se que 53% dos interlocutores selecionadas disseram crer que o batismo tem implicações salvíficas, tomando por base algumas passagens bíblicas, e 47% disseram crer que não, desconsiderando a regra da língua portuguesa relativa à conjunção aditiva, que indica a soma de dois elementos, e a teoria dos conjuntos, que mostra que onde há dois elementos há um. Por fim, com base nos depoimentos, é possível concluir que, embora a fé seja o fundamento do cristianismo, contudo, não basta crer para ser salvo, sendo necessário colocar-se à disposição do Espírito Santo para que, ajudado por Ele, o cristão possa, a partir do batismo, produzir os frutos dignos de arrependimento (obras de fé), sem os quais a fé é morta.

У статті визначено, що в умовах змінності впливу чинників ринкового середовища платники податків зіштовхнулися з деякими труднощами щодо їх сплати та постала потреба дослідження податкової системи й необхідності її реформування. Розглянуто сучасний стан оподаткування в Україні та країнах ЄС. З’ясовано, що оподаткування відіграє важливу роль у реалізації державних функцій, впливає на розподіл доходів між населенням та сприяє сталому розвитку. Розроблено практичні рекомендації щодо вдосконалення управління механізмом оподаткування в Україні, що дасть змогу подолати нерівність розподілу доходів та тіньову економіку, покращити контроль за сплатою податків, стимулюватиме розвиток нешкідливого та ефективного виробництва, сприятиме зниженню податкового навантаження на малий і середній бізнес.
МАТЕМАТИЧНА МОДЕЛЬ ОПТИМАЛЬНОГО РИНКУ ОДНОГО ТОВАРУ
Authors: Білоусова Т.П.
Published: January 2022

У статті розглянуто нелінійну динамічну математичну модель вільного ринку одного товару, в якій виконаний баланс між пропозицією і попитом та враховується побажання кожного учасника ринку. Для досягнення поставленої мети проведено аналіз теорії та проблеми моделювання ринку. Модель попиту-пропозиції побудована відповідно до системи рекомендацій економічної поведінки на ринку та представлена нелінійною задачею математичного програмування. Шляхом об’єднання математичних моделей попиту та пропозиції математична модель ринку вирішує питання цілеспрямованості учасників ринку в сукупності. Розв’язок її базується на нормалізації критеріїв та принципі гарантованого результату. Для виявлення особливостей розв’язання задачі розглянуто спочатку найпростіший окремий випадок, а саме ринок одного товару (n = 1).

Working paper on the numerical modelling framework to compare different accounting schemes
Authors: Paschen Marius , Meier Felix , Rickels Wilfried
Published: January 2022

Any integration of extra carbon dioxide removal (CDR) via terrestrial or marine sink enhancement into climate policies requires accounting for their effectiveness in reducing atmospheric carbon concentration and translating this information into the amount of carbon credits (to be used in official and voluntary emission trading schemes). Here, we assess accounting schemes in their appropriateness of assigning carbon credits. We discuss the role of temporary carbon storage and present the various ccounting methods for carbon credit assignment. We explain how we have implemented the methods numerically and analyse carbon assignments across the different accounting schemes, using stylized, model-based ocean sink enhancement experiments.
Shift Work among Nurses in Public Hospitals in the Congo: Consequences on Sleep
Authors: ATABOHO Ebenguela EBATETOU , MANTINOU Juste Morel
Published: January 2022

The negative effects of shift work on sleep are well documented. The requirement for permanent hospital care requires nurses to adopt this organization. The objective of this study was to assess these effects on the sleep of nurses in Congolese public hospitals. This was a multi-centre, cross-sectional descriptive study conducted from January to November 2021 with nurses from nine public hospitals. Data were collected using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. The study included 700 nurses with a 22.54% participation rate. Female staff (83.6%) and those aged 30 to 50 (76.1%) were predominant, with 64.9% being nurses and 35.1% being caregivers. The "2X12" work schedule was predominant (66.6%), 73.9% of staff had a continuous pace, and 94.6% had a rapid turnover. Daytime sleepiness, drowsiness and poor sleep quality were observed in 33.6%, 4.9% and 42% of nurses, respectively. Significant associations were found between sleep disorders on the one hand and age, number of dependent children, hours, and pace of shift work on the other. The health impacts of the work, including sleep disorders in nurses in our hospitals, are real and require prevention, which will result in better services for patients.
La corrupción y la moralidad pública y administrativa en Colombia
Authors: Flórez Hernández Alex
Published: January 2022

El presente trabajo analiza la necesidad de incluir la moralidad pública y administrativa en la regulación jurídica de la actividad de los servidores públicos con el fin de establecer expectativas sociales legitimas y prevenir actos de corrupción. Esta investigación es de carácter cualitativo y su alcance es exploratorio, se realiza un análisis documental que privilegia datos oficiales al tiempo que hace uso del análisis estático de la jurisprudencia de las altas cortes. Para lograr el objetivo se realiza una presentación del alcance de la corrupción en Colombia, posteriormente se analizan los conceptos de moralidad pública y administrativa como una expectativa normativa legítima y por último se muestra que debido al enfoque sancionatorio y punitivo de la normatividad anticorrupción se ha soslayado el aporte de la moralidad pública y administrativa en la prevención de la corrupción.
Régimen jurídico aplicable a los miembros del nivel ejecutivo de la Policía Nacional para el reconocimiento de la asignación de retiro: análisis jurisprudencial de sentencias de los Juzgados y el Tribunal Administrativos de Bolívar

Este artículo se ocupa del problema jurídico que se suscita en la aplicación de dos normas para el reconocimiento de la asignación de retiro del Nivel Ejecutivo de la Policía Nacional y así contribuir a una mejor comprensión de un objeto de estudio que merece especial atención. El tiempo mínimo de servicio exigido para alcanzar la prestación de naturaleza económica, mensual y vitalicia luego de finalizar la relación laboral administrativa con el Estado ha sido objeto de modificaciones por el Gobierno nacional mediante leyes y decretos reglamentarios. Estas normas sucesivamente han sido declaradas nulas total o parcialmente por el Consejo de Estado, situación que ha conllevado a que acudan ante las instancias jurisdiccionales en búsqueda de la protección de los derechos que consideran han sido vulnerados. Del análisis normativo y jurisprudencial realizado a los fallos emitidos en los años 2015, 2016, 2017 y 2018 por los Juzgados Administrativos de Cartagena en primera instancia para reconocer la asignación de retiro surgieron dos tesis. la primera aplica el Decreto 1212/1990 y la segunda el Decreto 1858/2012 y al desatar la segunda instancia el Tribunal Administrativo de Bolívar adoptó una posición intermedia, evidenciándose una interpretación exegética en aplicación de una integración normativa al emplear los dos estatutos.

Del estudio del método de interpretación exegético en la aplicación de la ley, los resultados de la investigación indican que el Decreto 1858/2012 se torna como suficiente para resolver el problema jurídico planteado al contener todos los elementos y garantías necesarias para acceder al reconocimiento de la prestación periódica y no incurrir en el fenómeno jurídico de la inescinbilidad de la norma al traer elementos de dos estatutos para una misma solución.
