Menaces sur la prise en charge des patients souffrant de douleur chronique en France : une formation et des structures douleur chronique fragilisées
Authors: Martinez V. , Dualé C. , Dallel R. , Rostaing S. ,   et le conseil d’administration de la SFETD (2020–2022)
Published: February 2023

Contexte : Les structures douleur chronique (SDC) assurent la prise en charge des patients souffrant de douleurs chroniques les plus complexes et les plus réfractaires en France. En 2018, on recensait 245 SDC labellisées par les agences régionales de santé (ARS). Malgré cette couverture territoriale importante, les SDC sont aujourd’hui menacées.

Objectifs : Obtenir une photographie de l’offre de soins des SDC, en précisant à la fois les caractéristiques des SDC et les données démographiques des professionnels y exerçant.

Méthodologie : L’enquête était réalisée sous l’égide de la Société française d’étude et de traitement de la douleur (SFETD) auprès de l’ensemble des SDC labellisées par les ARS. Les responsables des SDC étaient invités à renseigner, sur un questionnaire en ligne, les caractéristiques de la SDC et les données démographiques du personnel médical et non médical.

Résultats : Deux cent vingt-trois (91 %) des 245 SDC ont répondu. Si le maillage territorial des SDC est respecté, avec en médiane 0,59 médecin douleur pour 100 000 habitants en France, il existe une grande hétérogénéité dans la répartition des équivalents temps plein (ETP) d’une région à l’autre, avec une variation d’un facteur 2,8 pour les médecins et d’un facteur 5 pour les psychologues et infirmiers. Les régions les moins dotées sont la région Centre-Val de Loire et la région Grand Est. Cinquante-quatre pour cent (54 %) des SDC proposent des consultations à la fois pour la douleur cancéreuse et pour la douleur chronique non cancéreuse. Seulement 6 % des SDC sont dédiés à la douleur de l’enfant. Le délai d’attente médian est de trois mois, avec des extrêmes pouvant atteindre un an. Au total, 835 médecins, représentant 388 ETP, travaillent dans les SDC. Seulement 58 % des médecins sont titulaires ; 18 % exercent à temps plein et 43 % exercent à moins de 0,2 ETP. Le départ à la retraite de 177 médecins est attendu dans les cinq ans, représentant 91 ETP, soit 24 % du total des ETP médicaux.

Conclusion : La pérennisation des SDC en France est menacée dans les cinq ans à venir. Il y a urgence à agir. Des mesures concrètes sont proposées par la SFETD pour anticiper la catastrophe annoncée.

Authors: Joori Salam M. , Fadhil Atheer A. , Abdullateef Wassen M. , Jabir Maysoon M.
Published: February 2023

Background: Although ultrasonography (US) continues to be the primary imaging modality used to identify and characterize adnexal masses, but certain conditions that hinder accurate ultrasound examination, such as obesity, may be indications for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, for the assessment of complex and indeterminate ovarian masses.Objective: to assess the ability of MRI to characterize sonographically indeterminate adnexal masses.Patients and methods: A prospective study of 89 cases with sonographically indeterminate adnexal mass underwent pelvic MRI conducted in X-ray institute in medical city in Baghdad during period from October 2011 to January 2013 & the results compared to the final diagnosis which was determined by histopathological & surgical findingsResults: Most sonographyically indeterminate adnexal masses result from common benign condition. Benign conditions account for 87.6%, while malignant condition account for 12.4%. Endometriosis was the commonest cause constitute (22.4 %), followed by mature cystic teratoma , and pedunculated fibroid (18%) and (15.7%) respectively. Excellent agreement was noted between MRI and final diagnosis for determining the origin and tissue characteristics which are 98% and 91% respectively.Conclusion: Sonographically indeterminate adnexal masses of uncertain origin and solid or complex content will benefit from further evaluation with MRI, which is highly accurate for identifying the origin of the mass and characterizing its tissue contents playing an important role in planning the way of management.

Effects of mental workload on manufacturing systems employees: A mediation causal model
Authors: Realyvásquez-Vargas Arturo , García-Alcaraz Jorge Luis , Arredondo-Soto Karina Cecilia , Hernández-Escobedo Guadalupe , Báez-López Yolanda Angélica
Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND: Although some research has been done in the Mexican manufacturing industry regarding mental workload, none has explored its association with physical fatigue, body weight gain, and human error simultaneously. OBJECTIVE: This research examines the association between mental workload and physical fatigue, body weight gain, and human error in employees from the Mexican manufacturing systems through a mediation analysis approach. METHODS: A survey named Mental Workload Questionnaire was developed by merging the NASA-TLX with a questionnaire containing the mental workload variables mentioned above. The Mental Workload Questionnaire was applied to 167 participants in 63 manufacturing companies. In addition, the mental workload was used as an independent variable, while physical fatigue and body weight gain were mediator variables, and human error was a dependent variable. Six hypotheses were used to measure the relationships among variables and tested using the ordinary least squares regression algorithm. RESULTS: Findings indicated that mental workload significantly correlates with physical fatigue and human error. Also, the mental workload had a significant total association with human error. The highest direct association with body weight gain was provided by physical fatigue, and body weight gain had an insignificant direct association with human error. Finally, all indirect associations were insignificant. CONCLUSION: Mental workload directly affects human error, which physical fatigue does not; however, it does affect body weight gain. Managers should reduce their employees’ mental workload and physical fatigue to avoid further problems associated with their health.

This century has witnessed the greatest development of information technology. Accordingly, the factor of the developments in the field of knowledge has become more influential in life. Therefore, institutions must obtain the most important elements of success, catch up with the latest changes, and maintain their ability to compete and persist in the market in the age of information technology. The massive accumulation of data and information and the emergence of the so-called big data (BD), have led to an urgent need to manage knowledge and the ability to invest in it. On this basis, arose the need to conduct this research that deals with the role of knowledge management (KM) in decision-making for institutions. This research aims at shedding light on the role of KM in BD investment in the Ministry of education in Saudi Arabia. To achieve this goal, the descriptive analytical method was used, which depends on the evaluation of many works and research papers, during the period from 2014 to 2022. After evaluating many studies, the study concluded that it is necessary first, to publish more Arabic future studies concerned with the role of KM, its technologies and types. Second, to find appropriate solutions and stand against the challenges faced by the Ministry, and finally to find a model that shows the role of KM in BD investment in the Ministry of Education to make the process of taking the right decisions easier and at the right time, and achieve sustainable development
INNOVATIVE METHODOLOGY IN FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF INSURANCE ORGANIZATIONS
Authors:   Azerbaijan State Agricultural University, Zeynalli Elay
Published: February 2023

Insurance, as one of the main methods of distributing various risks that arise in an open market economy, is itself subject to certain risks. Its consistency, financial stability, as well as the sufficiency of financial results for the recovery of activities in the future are critical not only for insurance companies, but also for the regulatory body of financial bases and reinsurance subjects. It is important to ensure financial stability and confidence in financial markets, especially for countries with transition economies that have transformed from a closed economy to an open one. The article includes the analysis of the insurance organizations of Azerbaijan. Based on a systematic approach, analysis, synthesis, graphical and statistical methods, the main indicators of the insurance market and insurance organizations for the last time have been studied. The article examines the peculiarities of the formation and development of insurance relations in Azerbaijan, analyzes the stages of insurance development, assesses the impact of state decisions on the regulation of insurance organizations on their financial condition. The author has examined the dynamics of insurance premiums and insurance payouts in Azerbaijan over the past 11 years, the number of insurance organizations as the main participants in the insurance market, the number of concluded insurance contracts as the main indicator of the formation of insurance culture, and the prospects for the development of the insurance market. The main purpose of conducting financial analysis in the insurance sector is to maintain trust in the financial markets, assess the reliability of the insurer and comply with public interests. The second part of the article examines the peculiarities of this process, methods of analysis, financial indicators used in planning and analysis of the process. In the third part of the article, the main financial indicators of the life insurance companies operating in Azerbaijan for the last three years have been analyzed based on the financial statements, as well as financial indicators intended for use in the research process. Based on the analysis results, the recommendations have been given regarding directions for the development of the insurance market in Azerbaijan, improvement of financial reporting in insurance organizations, improvement of financial inclusion and strengthening of the stability of insurance companies’ activities.
A Law for Irreversible Thermodynamics? Synergy Increases Free Energy by Decreasing Entropy
Authors: Jaffe Klaus
Published: February 2023

Classical laws of thermodynamics apply only for reversible processes. Most processes however are irreversible and occur in open systems. That is the case of synergy that emerges from synchronized reciprocal positive feedback loops between a network of diverse actors. For this process to proceed, compatible information from different sources synchronically coordinates the actions of the actors resulting in a nonlinear increase in the useful work or potential energy the system can manage. In contrast noise is produced when incompatible information is mixed. This synergy produced from the coordination of different agents achieves non-linear gains in free energy and in information (negentropy). Free energy can be estimated by proxies such as individual autonomy of an organism, emancipation from the environment, productivity, efficiency, capacity for flexibility, self-regulation, and self-control of behavior; whereas entropy, or the lack of it, is revealed by the degree of synchronized division of ever more specialized labor, structural complexity, information, and dissipation of energy. Empirical examples that provide quantitative data for these phenomena are presented. Results show that increases in free energy density are concomitant with decreases in entropy density. This may be a rule for synergistic processes in irreversible thermodynamics, which is consilient with the first and second laws of classical thermodynamics. Under this light, biological evolution is the task of self reproducing irreversible synergistic system to discover empirically (through natural and sexual selection) types of order that increase their free energy.

Authors: Altuntaş Selman Hakkı , Yılmaz Selçuk , Uslusoy Fuat , Aydın Mustafa Asım
Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND: This study investigated the differences from the literature in terms of preoperative and postoperative features, complications, and aesthetic and functional results of patients who underwent a DCIA-based free iliac flap for large maxillomandibular bone defects in our clinic.

METHODS: A total of 25 patients who underwent maxillomandibular reconstruction with a free iliac flap were included in the study. The patient files were retrospectively analyzed in terms of perioperative features. Complications and management strategies were reviewed. The functional and aesthetic results of the patients were evaluated with functional and facial appearance evaluation questionnaires.

RESULTS: The average age was 42, and the male-to-female ratio was 19:6. The most common indication (11 patients) was gunshot wounds. Mandibular body (B) defects, neck skin (CN), inferior alveolar nerve (NİA), and buccal (B) mucosal defects were the most common defects. Fourteen osteotomies were applied to 11 flaps. Blood transfusion was 1.28 units, operation time 305 minutes, intensive care follow-up time 0.68 days, and hospitalization time was determined as an average of 13.3 days. Twenty-four recipient site and 8 donor site complications were observed. During the functional evaluation of 25 patients, it was observed that 19 patients could be fed a normal diet, 22 had speeches that were easily understood, and the social activity of 4 patients was found to diminish. In the aesthetic evaluation survey of 21 patients, 42.51% of the patients evaluated themselves as excellent/good, 33.3% as acceptable, and 23.8% as bad. When the evaluations were made by plastic surgeons, the patients were evaluated as excellent (19.04%), good (42.85%), acceptable (23.83%), bad (9.52%), and, very bad (4.76%).

CONCLUSION: Free iliac flap can be preferred as the first choice for the reconstruction of the orofacial region, especially in trauma patients when its applicability to varied defects in terms of shape, size, content, flap viability, suitability of donor and recipient sites for aesthetic evaluations, and complication rates are considered.
NIDS in Airgapped LANs--Does it Matter?
Authors:   Dakota State University, Messer Winston
Published: February 2023

This paper presents an assessment of the methods and benefits of adding network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) to certain high-security airgapped isolated local area networks. The proposed network architecture was empirically tested via a series of simulated network attacks on a virtualized network. The results show an improvement of double the chances of an analyst receiving a specific, appropriately-severe alert when NIDS is implemented alongside host-based measures when compared to host-based measures alone. Further, the inclusion of NIDS increased the likelihood of the analyst receiving a high-severity alert in response to the simulated attack attempt by four times when compared to host-based measures alone. Despite a tendency to think that networks without cross-boundary traffic do not require boundary defense measures, such measures can significantly improve the efficiency of incident response operations on such networks.
Towards the Development and Assessment of a Method for Educating Users into Choosing Complex, Memorable Passphrases
Authors:   Universidad Icesi, Madrid Juan , Levy Yair ,   Nova Southeastern University, Dringus Laurie , Wang Ling
Published: February 2023

The currently most used method for authentication is the password because it is simple to implement, and computer users are very familiarized with it. However, passwords are vulnerable to attacks that can be mitigated by increasing the complexity of the chosen password, particularly in terms of length. One possible approach to accomplish this is through the usage of passphrases, which can be easier to remember than a standard password, thus reducing the loss of work time and productivity related to forgotten passwords. To achieve the required balance between complexity and memorability, the concept of passphrase categories can be used, i.e. more sensitive accounts or services should have more complex passphrases, and vice versa. This work-in-progress study proposes to develop and assess a method for educating users into creating complex, yet easy to remember passphrases, according to the category of account or service they want to protect. The work-in-progress study will be developed in three phases, including validation of the method by a panel of subject matter experts, a pilot test, and a main data collection and analysis phase.

Authors: Antepenko Christopher , Rickey Samuel , Hibbets Angel , Rusk John-David
Published: February 2023

The beginning of the 21st century has had a drastic effect on the video game industry. The advent of almost universal Internet access, the release of inexpensive broadband-enabled consoles, and the availability of mobile gaming have led to game developers and publishers heavily relying on premium in-game currencies, exclusive paid items, and loot boxes to subsidize or even replace profits from traditional video game business models. By 2020, in-game purchases made up a market of $92.6B worldwide and, in the US, experienced growth of over 30%.[1] In this highly lucrative market, the legal and ethical landscape is constantly bubbling with claims of unlicensed gambling, unfair pay-to-win mechanics, and extortion of minors. In the first part of this paper, we will explore the historical context of microtransactions from the first examples to modern ubiquity. In the second half of this paper, we will examine some relevant scandals and legal cases regarding the connection between microtransactions and gambling.
AGILE-ФІЛОСОФІЯ ЯК ЧИННИК ФОРСАЙТУ ЦИФРОВОЇ ЕКОНОМІКИ
Authors: Воронкова В.Г. , Нікітенко В.О. , Васильчук Г.М.
Published: February 2023

Актуальність дослідження Agile-філософії як чинника форсайту цифрової економіки не викликає сумнівів, так як це найсучасніший напрям дослідження відповідних проблемних полів філософської науки – антропології, філософії історії, філософії управління та економіки, філософії освіти, філософії права, методології соціальної філософії та діяльності. Сучасне суспільство як складна система повинна адаптуватися до змін у середовищі – системних змін, стохастичності, емерджентності. Agile-філософії – це мислення у категоріях складних систем, націлене на формування нової цифрової культури і нового цифрового мислення керівників, здатних працювати у режимі системної динаміки; розвивати мислення у категоріях складних систем, щоб адаптуватися до змін у середовищі. Метою дослідження є концептуалізація Аgile філософії як чинник форсайту цифрової економіки. Використання методів і підходів – системного, структурно-функціонального, інституціонального, антропологічного та аксіологічного дозволяє ефективно аналізувати динаміку адаптації системи до зовнішніх умов цифрового суспільства, що дозволяє виявити систему управління, його структуру, інституціоналізацію, цінності та гуманістичні підходи до управління, для чого слід з’ясувати цілі, методи, основні поняття та історичні віхи становлення управлінської парадигми. Засновником Agile-напрямку можна назвати Юргена Аппело, який у роботі «Менеджмент 3.0. Agile-менеджмент: лідерство та управління командами» (2019) розробив теорію гнучкого управління, в основі якої сформована дорожня карта для досягнення сталого розвитку сучасного суспільства, подолання його невизначеності, стохастичності, асиметрії інформації. Нові підходи, які виникали у філософській думці впродовж історії, змінили й саме розуміння Agile-філософії, тому філософи змушені були на кожному історичному витку розвитку суспільства по-новому осмислювати і саме поняття філософії відповідно до історії його розвитку та місця і ролі у ньому людини. Практичне значення дослідження у розробці концепції виживання організації в умовах нестабільності та невизначеності.
Is heme biosynthesis influenced the mitochondrial function and cell proliferation in cancer?
Authors: Nauli Raisa , Jusman Sri Widia A
Published: February 2023

Heme is a compound consisting of an iron (Fe) atom bound to a pyrrole ring forming protoporphyrin IX (PPIX). Protoporphyrin combines with a protein-forming hemoprotein compound that plays an essential role in oxygen-binding and transport as well as in the process of energy production in the mitochondria. Some cancer cells have more heme biosynthesis than normal cells, which is thought to be linked to more cancer cell growth. Inhibition of heme biosynthesis in some cancer cells leads to decreased cell proliferation. This review article discusses the synthesis of heme, the role of heme in energy metabolism, which is needed for cell proliferation, the inhibition of heme synthesis and its effect on cancer cell proliferation, and the possibility of the inhibition of heme biosynthesis as an approach in therapy of cancer in the future.

Moving Arrows, Moving People: Towards an understanding of Early Metal Age Settlement Zones in the Boreal Woodlands of Dalarna, Sweden.
Authors: Wehlin Joakim , Lindblad Tova
Published: February 2023

This paper is a first step towards an understanding of how to locate and decode archaeological sites from the Early Metal Age 2000-1 BCE in Dalarna, Sweden. Sites from the Early Metal Age are rare in this region, but numerous locations have been identified as Stone Age sites. To search for Early Metal Age sites, the bifacial arrowheads, which chronologically belong to this time frame, have been examined. By doing this, two more extensive sites have been identified. The study shows that sites with a large number of preforms are a better indicator of extensive sites from the Early Metal Age than finished arrowheads. The study also problematizes the settlement concept and how to approach different types of sites. The spread of finds and the variation of different types of sites indicate that these settlements should be understood as part of larger settlement zones in which people moved over large geographical areas.

Biophysical models are often used to estimate larval dispersal patterns for the assessment of marine metapopulation spatial structure. However, comparisons of these models with field observations are relatively rare, and the extent to which models reproduce true marine connectivity patterns is unclear. We developed a biophysical model for larvae of the blacktail seabream Diplodus capensis (Sparidae), an abundant recreational and subsistence fishery species along the south-east coast of South Africa, and compared outputs from various configurations of that model to results from a field study conducted in a large regional embayment (Algoa Bay). Seasonal patterns of dispersal and recruitment produced by the model agreed best with field observations when thermal constraints on spawners and larvae were included. Spatial gradients in settling larvae also matched well, with the model capturing observed high settler densities within the lee of a major headland. Nevertheless, stronger spatial gradients were observed in larval densities from the field study when compared with model results, which may be explained by behavioural post-settlement processes. Model-based dispersal patterns revealed up to 5 subpopulations along the southern coast, with barriers to connectivity between subpopulations generally linked to hydrographic features. Overall, our results suggest that thermally mediated spawning behaviour, physical transport and post-settlement processes all play important roles in determining marine connectivity for the blacktail seabream. Refining physiological larval constraints may be an important component that needs to be considered going forward.
Small Film Festivals Surviving the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Cheyroux Emilie
Published: February 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic was a major challenge for film festival organizers, who had to resort to online platforms to showcase films they had selected. While virtual film festivals did not offer the same experience, being deprived of the opportunity to gather people in a festive atmosphere, they provided a fairly accessible solution that enabled audiences to watch films they would have missed otherwise. Even major and economically stable festivals, such as South by Southwest (SXSW), decided to cancel; and not all film festivals embraced the opportunities provided by online platforms. Responses to the pandemic were as diverse as the six thousand film festivals organized on average each year. Small nonprofit film festivals, however, tend to be more vulnerable than large-scale events. When the pandemic was at its climax in 2020, their economic sustainability was at stake. This article focuses on Cine Las Americas, a small community-based Latino and Indigenous film festival that takes place in Austin, Texas. Based on interviews of members of the executive and programming team, on research about the history of the festival, and on the experience of the 2020 “Virtual Showcase,” it shows that solidarity between the festival and a wide range of local organizations played a great role in its capacity to survive this critical time. To retrace the festival’s history, the article draws inspiration from organizational theory, illustrating that Cine Las Americas became a field-configuring event (FCE) in the city of Austin, to the point where the friendship that its successive organizers, who have showed crucial adaptation skills over the years, had secured with local partners contributed to its survival.
Signed Music in the Deaf Community

Published: February 2023

In the spring of 2019, the first signed musical stage production was performed at Festival Clin d’Oeil—the world’s largest deaf arts festival that brings thousands to Reims, France, biennially. Surrounded by visual and performing arts, an invited delegation from Canada debuted the musical The Black Drum internationally, incorporating physical theater, signed music, projection, and dance. Signed music is an inter-performance art that demonstrates musical elements by culturally deaf individuals who have explored creating musical performances with their hands and bodies. These performances operate according to a distinct artistic style, incorporating elements of signed languages; rhythmic hand, facial, and/or body motions; and media video arts. This article offers insight into the performers’ process and development of a deaf-created signed musical for an international audience, the ways signed music galvanizes community and identity through self-expression, and the impact of The Black Drum on an international audience at Festival Clin d’Oeil. Through ethnomusicological analysis and reflection with perspectives as insider-outsider-mediator, signed music has been researched by the authors and observed throughout the development of The Black Drum in preparation for its Canadian and European premieres. The festival setting is a place where new types of performances are welcomed and evaluated for their acceptance into the community. Responses from audience members and performers revealed that signed music is an emerging genre of its own.
