Authors: Naz Afreen , Prasad Pandey , McCall Sheldon , CHAN Chi Leung , Ochi Ifeoma , Gong Liyun , Yu Miao
Published: May 2024

Gait analysis plays a pivotal role in diagnosing a spectrum of
neurological and musculoskeletal disorders. Variations in gait patterns
often serve as early indicators of underlying health conditions,
underscoring the importance of precise and timely analysis for effective
intervention and treatment. In recent years, computer vision techniques
have emerged as robust tools for automated gait analysis, offering
non-invasive, cost-effective, and scalable solutions. However, existing
approaches often overlook the critical aspect of privacy preservation.
In this study, we propose the world’s pioneering computer vision-based
abnormal gait detection system with a privacy-preserving mechanism.
Specifically, we extract 2D skeletons from encrypted images using a deep
neural network model, which is facilitated by an optical system
incorporating a custom-made refractive optical element. These extracted
features are then fed into machine learning models for the detection of
normal versus abnormal gait patterns. Evaluations across various models
including random forest, decision tree, k-nearest neighbor, support
vector machine, neural network, and convolutional neural network reveal
that the random forest model attains the highest classification
performance based on 2D skeletons extracted from encrypted images.

Photoperiod is a pivotal factor in affecting spermatogenesis in
seasonal-breeding animals. Transposable elements, a class of DNA
sequences that can replicate and translocate in the genome, have
regulatory functions during spermatogenesis. However, whether it also
functions in photoperiodic spermatogenesis in seasonal breeding animals
is unknown. To explore this, we first annotated 5,501,822 transposons in
the whole genome of Brandt’s voles (Lasiopodomys brandtii), and revealed
that LINEs were the most abundant, comprising 16.61% of the genome.
Following closely, SINEs accounted for 10.13%, LTRs for 7.54%, and DNA
transposons for 0.70%. Insertion bias analysis revealed that 74.75% of
transposons were outside coding genes. Subsequently, we exposed male
Brandt’s voles to long-photoperiod (LP, 16 hours/day) and
short-photoperiod (SP, 8 hours/day) from their embryonic stages, and
obtained testes transcriptome at 4 and 10 weeks after birth.
Differential expression and Pearson analysis indicated strongly positive
correlations between the expression of differentially expressed
retrotransposons and the adjacent genes. KO, KEGG and GSEA results
showed that flagellar genes were key target genes regulated by
retrotransposons. RT-qPCR results validated the accuracy of the
transcriptome using randomly selected six genes (Dnah1, Axdnd1, Ccdc13,
Dnah17, Dnah2, Dnali1) and five transposons (LTR/ERVL-MaLR_113132,
LINE/L1_1811211, LINE/L1_69082, LINE/L1_662502, SINE/Alu_1213291).
RT-PCR results showed that SINE/Alu_1213291 regulates the
transcriptional expression of the Dnali1 gene. This study suggests that
transposon play a crucial role in the photoperiodic spermatogenesis in
Brandt’s voles, especially in the flagella assembly at the late
spermiogenesis. Our findings first reveal the regulatory function of
transposons in photoperiodic spermatogenesis, providing insights into
the role of photoperiod in seasonal reproduction in wild animals.
Desequilíbrio técnico-atuarial em planos de benefício definido ofertados por fundos de pensão
Authors: Mello Filho Tarciso Cavalcanti de , Santos Junior Luiz Carlos
Published: May 2024

O presente trabalho analisa as causas dos desequilíbrios técnicos-atuariais em planos de benefício definido ofertados por Entidades Fechadas de Previdência Complementar. O universo de pesquisa é composto por 964 planos de benefícios ofertados por EFPC’s, com dados referentes ao ano de 2020. Depois de observados alguns critérios, a amostra somou um total de 219 planos de benefício definido com um único grupo de custeio. Inicialmente, foram utilizadas estatísticas descritivas a fim de conhecer as variáveis analisadas de forma exploratória. Em seguida, foram realizadas regressões logísticas multinomiais para identificar quais das variáveis disponíveis em avaliações atuariais exercem efeito significativo sobre a variável resposta, que é o Resultado Atuarial Categorizado (RAC). Dentre os principais resultados, destaca-se o desequilíbrio atuarial de toda a amostra observada (219 planos), com 124 desses planos sendo deficitários (2 deles com necessidade de equacionamento) e 95 planos superavitários (11 deles com necessidade de destinação). No âmbito da modelagem, destaca-se o efeito da Taxa Real de Juros sobre o Resultado Atuarial Categorizado: o aumento daquela em 0,01% implicou, nesse caso, no aumento de 14,61% de chances de o plano ser deficitário. O aspecto temporal corresponde à maior limitação deste trabalho, já que os atuais limites máximos do Déficit Acumulado e da Reserva de Contingência foram implementados pela Resolução CNPC nº 30/18, o que impossibilitou o uso de dados de datas anteriores. Por outro lado, espera-se que a metodologia aqui utilizada possa ser aprimorada e amplamente utilizada em questões referentes à previdência.

Measuring Audit Quality with Surprise Scores: Evidence from China and the U.S.
Authors: Hu Hanxin , Sun Ting , Vasarhelyi Miklos A. , Zhang Min
Published: May 2024

This study constructs a measure of audit quality that captures the effect of potential factors that are generally unobservable to people outside of the audit firm or client company. Using machine learning and a wide range of data describing audit firm characteristics, audit partners, and public companies in China, this paper constructs the “surprise score,” a new measure of audit quality, calculated as the difference between the predicted probability and the actual value of an audit quality-related event (i.e., the existence of material misstatements, audit adjustments, and nonclean audit opinions). The effectiveness of the surprise score is validated by testing the association between the surprise score and penalties or audit firm changes. The proposed approach is applied to U.S. data to generalize its application. The surprise score adds value to existing audit quality measures and can help regulators to make better-informed decisions about audit quality.

The study considers a rectangular isotropic plate with a layered irregular structure. It is convectively non-stationarily heated by an external environment. The initial relationships of the non-stationary heat conduction and thermoelasticity problem are formulated using a five-mode mathematical model based on the shear deformation theory of thermoelasticity. Using the methods of Fourier and Laplace integral transforms, general solutions have been obtained for the non-stationary heat conduction problem and the quasi-static thermoelasticity problem for a hinge-supported plate along its edges. A numerical analysis of the temperature field, radial deflections, normal forces, bending moments, and normal stresses, depending on geometric parameters and the Bi criterion, has been performed for a three-layer plate. The materials of its layers are made of ceramics and metal. The temperature and mechanical parameters have been analyzed for the layering configuration of the plate: metal-ceramic-metal.

Problematic aspects of the influence of the legal system on social phenomena
Authors: Kravchuk S. Y.
Published: May 2024

The article examines the problem of the interaction of law with other social phenomena. On the one hand, law can be used to protect other social phenomena, such as moral norms, economic interests, cultural values, and on the other hand, social phenomena can influence the formation of legal norms and law and order in society.
An important aspect of research is the interaction of legal norms with such social phenomena as politics, economy, culture, morality, and others, as well as the influence of legal norms on social reality and the interaction of various aspects of society’s life.
The article examines the problem of the correlation of legal policy with certain social phenomena, and also determines the role of law in the formation of social reality. In addition, the author investigates the problem of regulation of social phenomena by the norms of national and international law in the context of social phenomena. Understanding the relationship between law and various social phenomena is important for the development of legal policy in the conditions of constantly changing social realities.
Studying the relationship between law and other social phenomena allows us to understand the causes of such conflicts and find ways to solve problems. Understanding the relationship between law and social phenomena is important for the effective functioning of the legal system, ensuring the protection of human rights and freedoms, the development of international law and legal awareness.
Knowledge of this interaction helps to understand trends in the development of law as a social phenomenon, as well as social phenomena as components of law. Also, understanding the relationship between law and other social phenomena is important for the development of the international legal system and the implementation of international legal cooperation. In connection with the growth of globalization and international cooperation, there is a need for the development of international law and legal instruments that regulate relations between different states and international organizations. Understanding legal norms and their relationship with social phenomena contributes to the formation of a high legal culture in society and ensuring the protection of human rights and freedoms.
International cooperation and its role in ensuring everyone’s right to health care and medical assistance
Authors: Basalaeva A.
Published: May 2024

The article states that the right to health care and medical care is a guarantee of the right to life. To the state in accordance with Part 2 of Art. 3 of the Constitution of Ukraine is entrusted with the duty to affirm and ensure human rights and freedoms, including the right of everyone to health care and medical assistance. Such a duty of the state is defined as the main one among its other duties. For its implementation, Ukraine must create an effective mechanism for ensuring the above-mentioned right. The Covid-19 pandemic, Russia’s aggression against Ukraine and, as a result, Russia’s temporary occupation of part of the territory of Ukraine, the commission of crimes in such territories that fall under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court and testify to violations of human rights in the field of health care, have actualized the issue of the specifics of international cooperation of states in the field of health care under conditions of military occupation, pandemics, etc. and its role in ensuring the above-mentioned right of every person.
The doctrinal approaches to defining the concepts of «cooperation», «international cooperation», and international treaties on human rights are analyzed. It has been established that diametrically opposite points of view are expressed in the scientific literature: from the declaration of cooperation as a duty of states to the complete denial of the legal force of this principle. The author’s definition of the concept of international cooperation in the field of health care is formulated - it is a complex of legal means, methods and institutions that are the result of joint multilateral or bilateral activities of states and which they use to achieve common goals of sustainable development in the field of health care in accordance with generally recognized principles and norms of international law. Attention is focused on the fact that the result of international cooperation are international standards of human rights in the field of health care, which are adopted by international organizations of a universal and regional nature, and which are implemented in national legislation, but such standards are the result of the cooperation of states, albeit within the framework international intergovernmental organizations, since these organizations are not endowed with special competence by nature, but are endowed by states by defining it in the charter of such organizations.
The state of the theory and methodology of control in the field of public administration
Authors: Melnykov V. V.
Published: May 2024

The article analyses the current state of the theory and methodology of control in the public authorities. The main purpose of the study is to identify key aspects and determine ways to optimise control mechanisms to ensure the legitimacy and effectiveness of government structures. The article examines traditional and new approaches to control based on interaction with civil society and the principles of openness and transparency. Particular attention is paid to an integrated approach to reforming control mechanisms and the need to involve the public in the processes of management and control in the public sector. The main part of the article examines various aspects of control, starting with traditional approaches to control, such as state supervision, the authors consider its evolution in the context of the development of civil society and democratic institutions. A detailed analysis of the functional potential of control reveals the need to abandon the traditional view of it as a purely «forceful» influence. The authors examine how control can be used not only to identify shortcomings in the work of state structures, but also to prevent possible violations, optimise management processes and increase overall responsibility. The conclusions of the article indicate that control in the sphere of public authority should be defined as an independent type of public activity with clearly defined directions, forms and institutional mechanisms. This will ensure greater efficiency and focus of control measures. The author emphasises the importance of developing modern control mechanisms to ensure stability, legality and trust in society. The essence of the updated doctrine of the «civic duty to rebel» is to ensure the controlled and responsible exercise of public power. This emphasises the importance of the people’s real ability to influence the processes of governance and establish new mechanisms to ensure justice in case of abuse of power.
Philosophical views on education by Panteleimon Kulish: on the question of the essence and direction of education as a constitutional and legal category
Authors: Prodan V. I.
Published: May 2024

Within the scope of this article, we consider the philosophical views of the outstanding Ukrainian writer and public figure Panteleimon Kulish regarding the essence and direction of education. The article is devoted to the study of the concept of education in the context of constitutional and legal aspects that determine the role of education in the formation of national identity and civil society.
The work examines the main ideas highlighted by Panteleimon Kulish in his works and publications regarding the importance of education as a component of personality development and the formation of national consciousness. In particular, the article examines the philosophical aspects of the educational process, emphasizing the role of the Ukrainian language and culture in the educational environment.
It is analyzed how Kulish’s views can be applied in the context of constitutional and legal issues related to education. In particular, it was established that the views of Panteleimon Kulish can be applied in the context of constitutional and legal issues related to education due to the following key aspects:
— linguistic and cultural identity (emphasis on the native language and culture in the educational In particular, the views of the philosopher can be applied in the context of human rights to education, which includes the right to learn and use one’s own language in the educational process);
— formation of civic consciousness (underscoring the importance of education in the formation of national identity and civic This, in particular, may cause the need for constitutional principles that guarantee access to education, its quality and the direction aimed at the development of civic self-awareness);
— the right to accessible education (Kulish supported the idea of accessible education for all layers of His views can be integrated into the constitutional principles concerning the general right to education and its compliance with the principles of social justice);
— the role of the family in education (the philosopher’s views on the role of the family in education can contribute to ensuring the development and approval of the institution of the family in the context of constitutional The latter can include the right of parents to raise children and responsibility for their education, etc.).
The article opens new ways of understanding Kulish’s philosophy of education in the context of its role in social and constitutional development.
Temporary placement of a child in the family of an actual caregiver as a from of children`s placement
Authors: Drapatyi N. V.
Published: May 2024

Ensuring the rights and well-being of the child is one of the main priorities of modern society. As Ukrainian and foreign legislation states that every child has the right to a family. However, due to different life circumstances, unfortunately, not every child has the opportunity to live in a family with their parents. That is why the question arises, how to ensure the realization of all the rights of a child who has lost his parents, or whose parents have given up their child. In this way, the institution of placement of a child was born.
To date, Ukrainian legislation distinguishes such forms of placement of children as foster family, guardianship and care, adoption, family-type orphanage, placement in the family of relatives, acquaintances. All of these forms of placement have a clear procedure for placing a child in a family and a legal mechanism for regulating the rights and responsibilities of the person who took the child into their family, as well as the rights and responsibilities of the child. Each case of placement of children is unique and requires a specialized approach taking into account specific situations, circumstances and needs of the child.
However, one form of placement should be singled out, such as placement of a child in the family of an actual caregiver. It is this form that has shown itself to be the most unexplored and at the same time convenient, first of all for a child. However, the problem of legislative implementation of temporary placement of a child by the actual guardian remains unsolved, since the existing legislation quite briefly describes the mechanism of such placement. This form of placement requires clear regulation from the side of the legislation, because the legal mechanism of placement of a child in the family of an actual tutor, the rights and obligations of the actual tutor and the pupil himself need to be researched. The article examines the advantages and disadvantages of such a temporary form of placement of a child as placement in the family of an actual tutor.
Оpening of proceedings in civil and economic proceedings: a comparative aspect
Authors: Vatras V. A. , Getsko V. V.
Published: May 2024

The article provides a comparative analysis of the problems of opening proceedings in civil and economic processes. The procedural norms of the EU member states, which regulate the procedure for opening proceedings in civil and economic processes, have been analyzed. It is additionally substantiated that the opening of the proceedings in the case is the first stage of proceedings in any private law case considered by the court. Every person has the right to apply to the court if he needs the protection of his rights, in case of their violation, non-recognition or appeal. It has been proven that the presence of such a procedural stage as the opening of proceedings in the case is important in view of checking the compliance of the content and form of the claim statement with the requirements of the law, as well as clarifying the procedural legal personality and in order to prevent abuse of the right to defense.
A comparative analysis of the norms of the Civil Procedural Code of Ukraine and the Economic Procedural Code of Ukraine was carried out, which made it possible to single out the following common features: the opening of the proceedings is singled out as a stage within the framework of the legal proceedings; to open a proceeding, a person must file a lawsuit, in which he can request a simplified proceeding; control powers are provided in the court to verify compliance of the claim with procedural requirements, while the same period (five days) is provided for issuing a decision on leaving the claim without movement, changes were simultaneously made to the analyzed procedural codes regarding control over the registration of the electronic cabinet by the plaintiff; judicial control is provided for the compliance of the claim with the requirements of the procedural legislation in the relevant proceedings; in the case of leaving the statement of claim without movement due to deficiencies that can be corrected, the same period for their elimination is given - ten days; similar additional grounds for returning claims, etc. are defined. Differences in procedural norms regarding the opening of proceedings are highlighted. It is substantiated that the opening of the proceedings in the case is a separate stage of the civil process, which is important in view of the realization of a person’s right to judicial protection, which implements the primary tools of judicial control aimed at guaranteeing the balance of private and public interests, in particular the right to fair judicial protection and prevent abuse of the person’s right to defense.

Authors: Ivanuik R. V.
Published: May 2024

The article examines the modern challenges of human rights protection during the armed conflict, in particular in the context of the need to introduce the legal regime of martial law, which was introduced due to the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against the sovereign, democratic and legal Ukrainian state. The article focuses on the analysis of critical aspects of the protection of human rights in the context of armed conflict, emphasizing the difficulties arising from an aggressive invasion of a sovereign, democratic, and legal state. Special attention is paid to strategic priorities for the restoration and protection of human rights that have been seriously affected by military actions. The article argues the need for a specific legal framework adapted to the conditions of wartime armed conflict and the key priorities of post-war reconstruction. The article provides a detailed analysis of national legislation and relevant international legal norms and an attempt to identify and recommend effective strategies for strengthening the protection of human rights. Emphasis is placed on the need for legislative changes and reforms that would ensure rights and civil liberties and be consistent with European and international standards, thereby strengthening legal guarantees against potential human rights violations. The article provides a critical review of existing legal gaps that impair the protection of human rights during armed conflicts and discusses the key role of the international community and legal institutions in upholding justice and accountability. In addition, it is proposed to implement innovative legal measures and integrate the norms of international humanitarian law to strengthen the legal infrastructure, which is necessary for the effective restoration and protection of human rights and civil liberties. The article reveals modern scientific and professional discussions, emphasizing the urgent need for active and strategic legal measures that meet European and international standards, ensuring the protection of human rights in the complex conditions of military conflicts.

Should we be sceptical in the face of calls for degrowth?
Authors: Fakhri Issaoui , Alqahtani Mohammad , Guesmi Mourad , Jamee Akram
Published: May 2024

In recent years, an ‘international’ unanimity has been reached as to the importance of collective collaboration to avoid the negative effects of climate change. This requires rethinking the old or traditional development model based on economic growth as the exclusive indicator of wealth. Thus, humanity has an urgent need to adopt a new, more humane and fairer economic model that constitutes an alternative to the models of exponential growth that have dominated in the last two centuries. To do so, humanity is looking to the Degrowth model as a potential concept that aims to reduce wealth from pollutants, seeks more justice (as equity), and the improvement of the capabilities of those who are poor and disadvantaged (in the sense of Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum). The purpose of this article is to question this model and whether it actually does improve environmental quality. Additionally, if the response is positive, another question arises: How to finance degrowth especially when we seek other less polluting energy sources whose costs seem to be very high?

Namun perlu diperhatikan bahwa anak memiliki sistem imunitas yang terbilang lemah, sehingga rentan terhadap penyakit seperti diare dan kecacingan. Faktor penyebab diare dan kecacingan adalah tingkat sanitasi pribadi (perilaku hidup bersih dan sehat) anak yang masih rendah. Perilaku yang dimaksud adalah anak buang air besar sembarangan, bermain tanpa menggunakan alas kaki, tidak mencuci tangan sebelum makan serta setelah buang air besar, tidak menjaga kebersihan kuku tangan serta kaki, dan kebiasaan jajan sembarangan yang tidak terjaga kebersihannya. Permainan edukatif Cari Kotak Poin (CARKOIN) dibuat untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan anak serta mengubah perilaku anak menjadi lebih sehat. Metode pelaksanaan dalam kegiatan ini dilakukan melalui beberapa tahapan. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa setiap tahap pelaksanaan anak-anak antusias mendengarkan materi penyuluhan dan juga semangat dalam mencari kotak poin serta menjawab pertanyaan yang ada dalam kotak tersebut.

Published: May 2024

Background: Depression is a disabling mental condition that reduces the quality of life regardless of age and circumstances. Late-life depression may be especially impairing due to its relationship with poor physical and mental health.
 
Objective:The aim of the present study is to examine the relationship between cognitive distortions, resilience and depression among older adults. As well, this study also aimed to examine the moderating role of resilience between cognitive distortions and depression.
 
Method: Purposive sampling strategy was used to recruited sample, and data was collected from (n=300) older adults. Cognitive distortions scale, Connor-Davidson resilience scale and Back depression inventory-II were used in this study.
 
Results: Results showed cognitive distortions and resilience has significant positive relationship with depression. Findings also revealed that cognitive distortions and resilience were significant predictors of depression. In addition, resilience plays a significant moderating role between cognitive distortions and depression.
 
Conclusion: This study concluded that the resilience could be an adaptive strategy to cope with stress and reduce depression in community-dwelling older adults.

Objective: Problem solving skills and character education are two important things that should be promoted in Indonesia education system. To promote those two things, an effective teaching model is needed. Thus, this research attempts to analyze the effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning with the Tri Kaya Parisudha  model to improve elementary school students' mathematical problem-solving skills and character. This teaching model was developed using Balinese local wisdom concept.   Theoretical Framework: Some theories were used in this study. They were problem-based learning, tri kaya parisudha, problem-solving skills, and characteristics of young learners.   Method: This study used a quasi-experimental approach and involved with 130 students as the study samples. Specifically, the study was conducted by following post-test only control group design. The researchers used questionnaires and problem-solving ability tests to collect the study data. In this study, the questionnaires and post-test results were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Simultaneously, inferential statistical analysis using the MANOVA test was performed.   Results and Discussion: The analysis shows that problem-based learning with Tri Kaya Parisudha model effectively improves elementary school student's mathematical problem-solving skills and character. Thus, it is recommended that problem-based learning with Tri Kaya Parisudha model to be used by the elementary schools that have problems in improving their students’ mathematical problem-solving skills and character.   Research Implications: Integrating local wisdom in teaching mathematical problem-solving skills and character brings some positive effects for the students.   Originality/Value: Local wisdom is normaly considered as something traditional and not compatible with current era. However, this study found that local wisdom, especially tri kaya parisudha concept is still relevant to our current education system.

Objective: This research analyzed inundation points for specific extreme occurrences in the municipality of Governador Valadares, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, by remote sensing and hydrological characterization of the area, compared to governmental field research results reports.
 
Theoretical Framework: The remote sensing application in hydrogeological analyses has become increasingly frequent and promising.
 
Method: The study selected fluviatile and pluviometric data in hydrogeologic analysis, flow rate, rainfall, and monthly and annual quota, selected orbital images from the Landsat 4-5 satellite, provided by the United States Geological Service (USGS) between 1990 and 2009, which applied the Modified Normalized Difference Water Index – MNDWI technique, and then vectorized the images to define the inundation areas.
 
Results and Discussion: The data pointed out that the rainy season is between October and March, corresponding to the municipality’s inundation history. For the inundation quota of 461 cm, the neighbors São Paulo, JK I, JK II, and Jardim Alice are the main affected areas. The obtained results were compatible with the CPRM report (2004) and other related studies.
 
Research Implications: The article points out that image analysis is a primary tool to delimit the inundation areas, providing economy of resources, time, and results with a quality compatible with the fieldwork.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by the method becomes potentially applicable to other cities and points out as an auxiliary tool to map areas that may undergo floods and manage disaster risks.
Liver Disease Associated with Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Authors: Kurniawan Juferdy , Budiman Refael Alfa
Published: May 2024

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic condition characterized by persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, comprising ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD). While the current global incidence of IBD exceeds 0.3% in Western nations, Indonesia reports a comparatively lower prevalence however with projections indicate a potential rise in incidence from 2020 to 2050. Hepatobiliary manifestation is one of the most common extraintestinal manifestations of IBD. Some of the liver disease associated with IBD had similar background immune response, inflammatory reaction, similar risk factor, or due to the treatment of IBD. Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) has close association with IBD and both affect the prognostic and disease progression of each other. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) shares common metabolic risk factors. Several drugs used as the treatment of IBD might cause hepatic injury especially due to the long treatment duration of IBD. Hepatitis B reactivation is another concerning event found after prolonged used of immunosuppressive drugs of IBD. Therefore, close monitoring of liver function test periodically is a mandatory test to screen liver disease in IBD patients.  Keyword: Inflammatory bowel disease, liver disease, autoimmune hepatitis, drug-induced liver injury
The Effect of Perioperative Probiotics or Synbiotics on Postoperative Ileus in Patients Undergoing Abdominal Surgery: An Evidence-based Case Report
Authors: Fabiani Helena , Lestari Wiji
Published: May 2024

Aims: To explore the effects of perioperative probiotics or synbiotics supplementation on postoperative in patients undergoing abdominal surgery.Method: A literature search was conducted on four databases, PubMed, Cochrane, ProQuest, and Scopus, by using MeSH Term. The article selection process was undertaken by screening the titles or abstracts, reviewing the full texts, and determining their compliance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Two systematic review/meta-analysis of randomized controlled trial were critically appraised for validity, importance, and applicability.Results: Perioperative probiotics or synbiotics supplementation may contribute to gastrointestinal function recovery, including reducing postoperative ileus in gastrointestinal cancer. Supplementation of probiotics or synbiotics reduced overall postoperative complications in patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery and did not cause any side effects. However, the administration of probiotics or synbiotics was not associated with the incidence of postoperative ileus.Conclusion: Perioperative probiotics or synbiotics supplementation can be considered in promoting postoperative gastrointestinal function in abdominal surgery. However, their effect on reducing the incidence of postoperative ileus is still inconsistent.
