Authors: Osinkin Roman , Luzgina Ol'ga , Kuz'mina Mariya
Published: May 2024

The role of agribusiness in the period of economic transformations and the significant impact of crisis phenomena has increased. Small business is becoming attractive as the most flexible area in the agricultural economy of the country (RF). In a proactive vision of the problems of risks of small business organizations, attention is focused on the role of the concept of the threefold nature of the applica-tion for the formation of risk management policy. The triplicity of risk orientation implies taking into account the economic, social and environmental aspects of ag-ribusiness. The groupings of operational risks, social responsibility of business and environmental ones are given.
The internet under attack: Insights from Afghanistan and Ukraine on maintaining a resilient internet in conflict and crisis
Authors: Shires James , Wilkinson Isabella
Published: May 2024

Many aspects of modern conflict are increasingly defined by the internet and digital technologies. The concept of resilience is essential to understanding the complex web of incentives, interests and dependencies that have come to define how the internet and these technologies work – and, often, do not work – in conflict and crisis. To aid understanding of how different actors use the internet and digital technologies in such scenarios, this research paper proposes a distinction between two types of resilience – technical and sociopolitical. Technical resilience focuses primarily on technological systems constituting the internet, while sociopolitical resilience refers to the human networks and groups that both maintain those technological systems and use them for social purposes. The paper draws on two case studies for key insights on elements of internet resilience such as digital infrastructure, conflict dynamics and policy priorities. The first case study discusses internet resilience in the context of events before, during and after the Western coalition’s withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. The second reflects on the interplay of technical and sociopolitical resilience in relation to Russia’s war on Ukraine. Each study is a demonstration of how internet resilience is crafted and contested – and how decisions taken in conflict or crisis situations can have significant consequences for the resilience of the internet at the global and local levels.
Sistem Berpikir Kristen Logis-Teologis: Sentral dan Dasar Materi Mata Kuliah Pendidikan Agama Kristen
Authors: Rungkat Jimmy
Published: May 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami sistem berpikir Kristen Logis-Teologis sebagai sentral dan sekaligus dasar pendidikan agama Kristen. Melalui metode deskriptif kualitatif berdasarkan pendekatan studi kepustakaan diperoleh hasil bahwa sistem berpikir Kristen Logis-Teologis adalah berpola pikir dalam kerangka penyataan Allah. Penyataan Allah merupakan faktor utama untuk seseorang bisa berpikir secara Kristiani. Penyataan Allah adalah sumber berpikir Kristen (berteologi). Segala sesuatu yang ada dalam teologi, tidak lepas dari kebenaran Allah. Kebenaran teologi adalah kebenaran Allah yang membawa umatNya semakin mengenal pribadi dan karyaNya. Namun kebenaran teologi yang dimiliki manusia hanya merupakan percikan dari keseluruhan Kebenaran Allah. Penyataan Allah mengenai hal ini mempunyai dua makna, yaitu: aktif dan pasif. Secara aktif, tindakan Allah atas dasar inisiatif-Nya sendiri untuk mengkomunikasikan kebenaran teologi tentang diri-Nya kepada manusia; dan secara pasif, wahyu sebagai akibat dari tindakan Allah tersebut dalam teologi. Dalam hal ini Allah tidak berteologi, hanya manusia yang berteologi; karena teologi dinyatakan oleh Allah untuk dinikmati oleh manusia. Berteologi memiliki suatu susunan yang teratur dan rapi, dan hal ini terjadi karena teologi adalah salah satu bentuk kedaulatan Allah. Allah dengan inisiatifNya sendiri mengatur, mengontrol, dan membimbing teologi itu. Sehingga, teologi yang benar adalah teologi yang berdasarkan kedaulatan Allah, bukan kedaulatan manusia. Ketika peran teologi mulai berpindah dari kedaulatan Allah menjadi kedaulatan manusia, maka tidak dapat disebutkan lagi berpikir Kristen tetapi berpikir anthroposentris (berpusat pada keinginan manusiawi).

Authors: Jantasing Rachaneekorn , Rojnuckarin Ponlapat , Jittapiromsak Pakrit , Akarathanawat Wasan , Apipongrat Dollapak , Nathalang Oytip
Published: May 2024

Background: A dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel is advised to prevent stent thrombosis. However, the most appropriate assay for evaluating the antiplatelet effects remains undefined.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of measuring platelet surface activation markers, CD62P and CD63, using flow cytometry to determine the effectiveness of dual antiplatelet therapy.
Methods: Thirty patients who received aspirin plus clopidogrel before cerebral artery stent implantation and thirty unrelated healthy controls were enrolled. The expression of CD62P and CD63 was measured using flow cytometry. The diagnostic performances were evaluated and compared with the conventional light-transmitted aggregometry (LTA) using 5.0 and 20.0 µM of adenosine di-phosphate (ADP).
Results: The expression ratios of both markers were significantly lower in the patients receiving dual antiplatelet therapy than controls (p < 0.001). The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) of CD62P using flow cytometry and the LTA using 5.0 and 20.0 µM of ADP were comparable (0.97 vs. 0.95 and 0.97 vs. 0.96, respectively), whereas those of CD63 was lower than the LTA (0.88 vs. 0.96). The sensitivity of CD62P and CD63 were 71.4% and 60.0%, and the specificity of CD62P and CD63 were 100.0% and 96.7%, respectively.
Conclusion: Flow cytometry measurements of CD62P could be utilized to identify the efficacy of dual antiplatelet therapy. Additional studies are suggested to support this issue and its effects on clinical outcomes.

Objetivos. Comparar el proceso asistencial prehospitalario y los resultados hospitalarios de los pacientes categorizados como Código Ictus (CI) en función del tipo de ambulancia que realiza la primera valoración, y analizar los factores asociados con un buen resultado funcional y la mortalidad a los 3 meses. Método. Estudio observacional de cohortes prospectivo multicéntrico. Incluyó todos los CI atendidos por un sistema de emergencias prehospitalario desde enero del 2016 a abril del 2022. Se recogieron variables prehospitalarias y hospitalarias. La variable de clasificación fue el tipo de ambulancia que asiste el CI: unidad de soporte vital básico (USVB) o avanzado (USVA). Las variables de resultado principal fueron la mortalidad y el estado funcional de los ictus isquémicos sometidos a tratamiento de reperfusión a los 90 días del episodio. Resultados. Se incluyeron 22.968 pacientes, de los cuales 12.467 (54,3%) presentaron un ictus isquémico con un buen estado funcional previo. El 93,1% fueron asistidos por USVB y se solicitó una USVA en el 1,6% de los casos. A pesar de presentar diferencias en el perfil clínico del paciente atendido y en los tiempos del proceso CI prehospitalario, el tipo de unidad no mostró una asociación independiente con la mortalidad (OR ajustada 1,1; IC 95%: 0,77- 1,59) ni con el estado funcional a los 3 meses (OR ajustada 1,05; IC 95%: 0,72-1,47). Conclusiones. El porcentaje de complicaciones de los pacientes con CI atendidos por USVB es bajo. El tipo de unidad que asistió al paciente inicialmente no se asoció ni con el resultado funcional ni con la mortalidad a los 3 meses.

Objetivo. Comparar la capacidad de tres escalas de fragilidad, Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS), Functional Index – eMergency (FIM) e Identification Senior at Risk (ISAR), para predecir resultados adversos (RA) a 30 días en los pacientes mayores dados de alta desde el servicio de urgencias hospitalario (SUH). Método. Análisis secundario del registro FRAIL-Madrid que incluyó pacientes $ 75 años dados de alta de 10 SUH de Madrid durante un periodo de 3 meses entre 2018 y 2019. Se definió fragilidad como CFS $ 4, FIM $ 2 e ISAR $ 3. Las variables de resultado fueron revisita en urgencias, hospitalización, deterioro funcional, muerte y la variable compuesta por algún RA de los anteriores en los 30 días posteriores al alta del SUH. Resultados. Se incluyeron 619 pacientes, la edad media fue de 84 años (DE 7), 59,1% eran mujeres. Hubo 339 pacientes (54,8%) identificados como frágiles en el SUH según CFS $ 4, 386 (62,4%) según FIM $ 2 y 301 (48,6%) según ISAR $ 3. Hubo 226 pacientes (36,5%) que presentaron algún RA a los 30 días tras el alta (21,5% revisita, 12,6% hospitalización, 18,4% deterioro funcional y 3,6% muerte). El área bajo la curva (ABC) de la escala CFS fue de 0,66 (0,62-0,70; p = 0,022), de FIM 0,67 (0,62-0,71; p = 0,021) y de ISAR 0,64 (0,60-0,69; p = 0,023). La presencia de fragilidad fue un factor independiente de presentar algún RA a los 30 días tras el alta (CFS $ 4 ORa 3,18 [IC 95% 2,02-5,01, p < 0,001], FIM $ 2 ORa 3,49 [IC 95% 2,15-5,66, p < 0,001] e ISAR $ 3 ORa 2,46 [IC 95% 1,60-3,79, p < 0,001]). Conclusiones. Las tres escalas estudiadas –CFS, FIM, ISAR– son útiles y tienen una capacidad similar para identificar al paciente mayor frágil dado de alta del SUH con alto riesgo de presentar RA (muerte, deterioro funcional, hospitalización o revisita al SUH) a los 30 días.

Published: May 2024

The study assessed the technological capabilities of extension personnel in the use of social media for agricultural service delivery in Southeast, Nigeria. One hundred and eighty-nine agricultural extension professionals constituted the population for the study. Data was analyzed using percentages, charts and mean scores. Results show that 97.4% of the agricultural extension professionals indicated that they use whatsapp for agricultural extension service delivery while 93.2% of the respondents indicated that they use facebook for service delivery. Data show that 95.3% of the respondents indicated that they use social media in linking with their colleagues. Entries show that 93.2% of the respondents indicated that they linked with Agricultural Development Programme (ADP) while 92.6% of the extension professionals linked with farmers group. Result show that 84.2% of the respondents had linkage with the ministry of agriculture. Also, 60.5% of the respondents interacted with the ministry of agriculture between 1-10 times while 54.2% of the respondents interacted with the ADP between 5-10 times in the last one year. Government should therefore ensure improved job satisfaction for agricultural extension professionals possibly by increasing their remuneration and providing logistics that would help them to keep in touch with other institutions for latest research results for the interest of the farmers.

Authors: Zequeira Álvarez María Elena , Gonzalez De Zayas Roberto , Plasencia Fraga José Miguel , Lestayo González Julio Antonio
Published: May 2024

Objective: This study was to estimate the value of the ecosystem goods and services of seven coastal lagoons in the Sabana – Camagüey Archipelago.
Methodology: Results were obtained using general and empirical methods, as well as different research techniques. Four of the lagoons studied are in Cayo Coco and the rest in Cayo Sabinal.
Relevance: The methodological framework for this research had dynamic, comprehensive and systemic purposes with two steps: comprehensive characterization of the lagoons and their ecosystem goods and services and the calculation of the value (revenues) of these goods and services (real and potential) for each lagoon, for each territory and for the entire study area.
Results: The coastal lagoons from Cayo Coco and Cayo Sabinal offer a wide variety of goods and services (fishing, beekeeping, tourism) still underestimated due to different factors. The direct and indirect use values of these lagoons represented more than 95 % (15 million Cuban pesos) of the total estimated value.
Social / management contributions: the current social and economic context of Cuba and the regulatory and institutional frameworks require the use of methods and techniques for economic valuation of ecosystem goods and services, particularly those of coastal ecosystems, in correspondence with the fast development of tourism in coastal areas. For this reason, the results of this study could be a starting point to expand the valuation of ecosystem goods and service to other Caribbean and Cuban coastal lagoons.

Authors: Ferreira Alfredo da Silva , Silva Sadraques da , Rodrigues Eubia Andréa , Billacrês Máximo Alfonso Rodrigues
Published: May 2024

A urbanização brasileira é um processo intensificado a partir da década de 1950, contudo, não homogêneo no seu espaço geográfico. Essa heterogeneidade impacta nas peculiaridades e nas dinâmicas urbanas das localidades. Nesse contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi descrever a dinâmica espaço-temporal do processo de urbanização da cidade de Uarini/AM, tendo como área exploratória o bairro Santo Antônio. Foi utilizado o método empírico observacional, onde foi realizada uma trilha urbana do bairro, tendo auxilio das geotecnologias como instrumentos de análise (Google Earth Pro e Geo Tracker), para a reprodução cartográfica histórica, no período de 2011 a 2022. No período de 2011 a 2015 observou-se uma mudança nos aspectos naturais do bairro com o surgimento de ruas não pavimentadas. No período de 2015 a 2022 houve uma expansão do bairro com estrutura de matriz desorganizada acompanhada de problemas ambientais. É perceptível que a ocupação ocorre de maneira acelerada, apesar de ser um bairro afastado do centro da cidade, indicando sua formação recente. A problemática urbana no bairro, reflete a falta de planejamento e políticas públicas, principalmente evidenciadas nas questões sociais, como a carência de serviços de saúde, saneamento básico, qualidade de vida e moradia, entre outros. Nesse contexto, estudos voltados para essas questões são essenciais, pois fornecem dados que fundamentam documentos capazes de comprovar a realidade enfrentada nas cidades da região.

In the long-term practice of Kazakh literature, the importance and focus of historical novels have always been high. We will not be mistaken if we consider historical works serving the interests of the country as the main character of the Kazakh growing literature, which revive the past, reminds of the forgotten and brings to light what has remained a secret. The authors studying such works pay attention in the article to the breadth of the thematic background of Kazakh prose under sovereignty and the importance of historical novels in reviving the consciousness of the people. Taking as the main object the historical novel of the Kazakh writer Madi Ayymbetov "Bupai khanim", the image of the famous Khan of the Younger Zhuz Abulkhair Khanis considered. This novel is not able for its novelty, the fact that it was one of the few works written about a woman, and the fact that it was a work that describes the image of Abulkhair Khan, whose life was full of contradictions. In addition, the authorsurge to pay attention to the artistic tradition of Kazakh verbalart, worldview, personal position of the author in creating the image of Abulkhair. He defines the characteristic features, attaching importance to the dialogue of other characters in the novel with Abulkhair, his attitude towards him, comparisons in him. It also touches on issues of fate, folk worldview, similarity of thought with other works that may influence the artistic decision of the author.

Let’s love boredom! Boredom as an alternative to the overstimulated world oftoday’s youth in the context of capacity development
Authors: Duda-Maciejewska Ewa
Published: May 2024

This article addresses the topic of boredom in the context of skill development, presentingan analysis of the subject literature that presents boredom ambiguously. On one hand, itis depicted as an inhibitor of abilities and a threat to well-being and mental health, and onthe other, as a potentially positive element in the education and development of the gifted.The analysis focuses on various definitions and classifications of boredom, presenting it asa multidimensional phenomenon that can have both negative and positive impacts on thecondition of the gifted student. Modern youth live in conditions of stimulus overload, mainlydue to the digital world, which affects their social, psychological, and physical well-being.The intensity of emotions and fears amongst the young related to living on social media hasnever been so intense. The results of the discussed studies indicate that boredom can serve asa free space for deeper self-knowledge, a space for the free flow of thoughts, self-reflection,and creative thinking, contrasting with the negative aspects of continuous stimulation. Thearticle concludes that there may be a third way beyond killing or dying of boredom. A newperspective on the use of boredom in the educational context suggests that boredom can beappreciated and utilised as a catalyst for the development of the gifted student instead ofeliminating it. The article encourages breaking away from conventional approaches to giftededucation, exploring and accepting boredom as an integral part of the learning and developmentprocess, and offering an alternative to the stimulus-saturated world.

Objetivo: Avaliar as tendências epidemiológicas da hanseníase no estado do Maranhão. Métodos: Os resultados foram obtidos por meio de uma análise descritiva dos dados de hanseníase no Brasil, no período de janeiro de 2018 a dezembro de 2022, obtidos do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN). A população de interesse é constituída por indivíduos registrados no SINAN com diagnóstico de hanseníase no período mencionado. Resultados: Os resultados incluem o conceito, disseminação, tratamento e dados coletados a partir da base nacional de informações e agravos (DATASUS), por meio do SINAN. Ficou evidente uma incidência mais alta entre as classes socioeconômicas menos favorecidas, devido à exposição em condições precárias de habitação, nutrição e educação. Portanto, o foco no controle da hanseníase deve estar ligado à luta contra a pobreza, à melhoria das condições de vida e ao aumento dos padrões sanitários, aprimoramentos cruciais para o aumento dos diagnósticos. Conclusão: Os estudos sobre a hanseníase desempenham um papel central na orientação e formulação de políticas de saúde eficazes no combate à doença. A lacuna identificada, que associa fatores sociais à hanseníase, destaca a necessidade de consolidar o corpo de evidências disponíveis e expandir estratégias para prevenir a disseminação da doença.

Authors: Radhitya Atthyya , Yuniarsih  , Azizah Rizqi Amalia
Published: May 2024

The majority of Indonesia's population is Muslim, so the halalness of a product is very important, especially for products that enter the body. Therefore, the Government, through several regulations, has implemented a policy, namely implementing mandatory halal certification for every MSME actor as stated in Article 2 paragraph (1) of Government Regulation no. 39 of 2021 concerning Implementation of Halal Product Guarantee Sector. However, there are many polemics among MSME players regarding halal certification, starting from limited knowledge regarding how to register, limited costs if it is necessary to register for halal certification, and also minimal outreach regarding the importance of halal certification for MSME players in Sangatta city . In order to overcome these obstacles, collaborative efforts are needed between the government, related institutions and MSME actors themselves. Concrete steps that can be taken include increasing outreach and education, providing cost subsidies, simplifying the certification process, strengthening coordination between related institutions. In this journal, it is appropriate to use normative methods with statutory and conceptual approaches. This halal certification has a very important role in increasing consumer confidence, product competitiveness and access to global markets.

ABSTRAK Artikel ini menggunapakai rangka kerja Street-level Bureaucrats (SLB) yang dikemukakan oleh Michael Lipsky (1980) untuk meneliti tentang penggunaan budi bicara dalam penyaluran khidmat kepada kanak-kanak dan remaja. SLB adalah merujuk kepada pekerja barisan hadapan yang memainkan peranan penting melaksanakan peruntukan polisi bagi meningkatkan kebajikan dan kesejahteraan masyarakat. Namun, dalam melaksanakan tugas sering kali SLB tidak mampu mengikut sepenuhnya peraturan dan prosedur yang ditetapkan memandangkan wujudnya kepelbagaian dari segi klien dan situasi kes. Berdasarkan kepada rangka kerja yang dikemukakan Lipsky ini, SLB perlu menggunakan budi bicara bagi membolehkan perkhidmatan yang sesuai dan sebaik mungkin dapat diberikan kepada remaja. Bagi meneliti situasi ini di Malaysia, satu kajian telah dilakukan dalam kalangan kakitangan Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat di kawasan Utara Semenanjung. Sebelas orang Pengawai Akhlak dan Pelindung telah ditemubual untuk meneliti kenapa dan bagaimana mereka menggunakan budi bicara dalam menyalurkan khidmat kepada remaja. Analisis temubual tersebut telah menghasilkan tema-tema yang diperincikan dalam artikel ini bagi menjawab persoalan tersebut merangkumi (i) kekangan masa, (ii) kepelbagaian dan bebanan kerja, (iii) demi kepentingan terbaik remaja dan (iv) occupational wisdom.

This study examines the impact of social responsibility and environmental projects on the profitability of 10 Universal Banks in the Philippines within the context of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) through sustainable finance framework. The research adopts a quantitative approach and analyzes data from 2019 to 2021 using exploratory data analysis and regression analysis was used to capture any evolving trends or shifts in the relationship between banks' engagement in these projects and their financial performance. The study found that the number of social responsibility and environmental projects undertaken by Universal Banks did not exhibit a statistically significant impact on their profitability during this period (2019-2021). However, the study emphasizes the broader value of these initiatives, as they contribute to sustainability, promote corporate social responsibility, and align with global trends towards a more environmentally conscious and socially responsible business landscape. The research suggests that banks should continue to invest in social and environmental projects for their substantial societal and ecological impacts, aligning with the evolving needs and expectations of customers, investors, and the broader community.
Exploring the Relationship of Self-Compassion and Gratitude: A Multidimensional Analysis Among Sports Professionals

Published: May 2024

The aim of this research is to investigate the intricate connection between self-compassion and gratitude among athletes using a multidimensional approach. By delving into the dimensions of both self-compassion and gratitude, this study aims to uncover how these two psychological constructs interact within the context of sports. Through comprehensive analysis, we seek to understand how self-compassion and gratitude manifest in athletes' lives and how they may influence each other. This exploration is vital for enhancing our understanding of the psychological dynamics within sports environments, potentially offering insights into strategies for promoting well-being and performance among athletes. A descriptive research design was employed, with correlational and independent t-test analyses conducted to explore relationships and gender-based differences. Pre-therapy data collection involved assessing participants' baseline levels of negative traits, such as fear, anxiety, depression, and worry, using validated scales, questionnaires, and interviews. Data simulation involved generating random integer values within specified ranges to initialise pre-therapy scores for fear, anxiety, depression, and worry, thereby creating a diverse participant group.Results reveal no significant relationship between gratitude and self-compassion, nor any gender-based differences. However, cognitive-behavioural therapy significantly reduced fear, anxiety, depression, and worry among participants. The p-values of 0.0000 for all measures indicate highly significant differences between pre-therapy and post-therapy scores, affirming the therapy's effectiveness. This highlights the importance of cognitive-behavioural interventions in addressing psychological well-being. While this study provides insights into gratitude and self-compassion among volleyball players, further research is needed to explore interventions enhancing these psychological factors.

This research examines the impact of green human resource management and green purchasing on business efficiency in Pakistani manufacturing organizations. Data from 200 respondents from the manufacturing sector was gathered using the quantitative research method. Green human resource management and green buying were evaluated using three independent criteria. The main role of this research is that it is possible to observe a positive impact of independent variables on organization performance using the random sampling technique, especially in Pakistan manufacturing industries. This research can help managers and practitioners in a variety of ways. The findings could persuade management and practitioners to implement green human resource management (GHRM) and green purchasing (GP) in their organizations. Furthermore, companies can use both GHRM and GP to fulfil sustainability goals. Furthermore, the data implies that the GHRM-GP connection lowers blood pressure. This conclusion suggests that managers can align green purchasing strategies and practices with human resource strategies and practices to improve operational efficiency and reduce regulatory and compliance fines. Managers are encouraged to implement GHRM and GP simultaneously to achieve simultaneous improvement.
Rewriting History Through Creative Writing
Authors: Anamika Shukla
Published: May 2024

Rewriting history in creative writing involves reinterpreting, reimagining, or changing historical events, people, or periods in one's works of fiction. Authors may take a variety of approaches, from small alterations providing new insights to extensive changes deviating from history considerably. This critical rethinking of the past and its narrative representations can explore alternative histories, contest established views, and highlight the voices of people historically ignored. Several types of creative writing can be grouped under the definition of rewriting history, with each having its conventions and goals. Historical fiction, based on real historical artefacts or events, allows writers to imagine filling gaps left by historical records, making history relatable. Alternate history explores what might have been if critical moments in the past unravelled differently, challenging the inevitability of historical events. Speculative fiction, a popular style, blends real historical settings with fantastical ones, offering a perspective on historical possibilities informed by imagination. Historical revisionism in imaginative literature significantly influences collective memory and cultural identity, questioning existing narratives and exposing submerged histories. The paper is a modest attempt to unravel the fact of rewriting the history through creative writing.

Margaret Beissinger, Speranța Rădulescu, and Anca Giurchescu (eds.), Manele in Romania: Cultural Expression and Social Meaning in Balkan Popular Music, Lanham: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 2016.
Authors:   independant scholar, Oancea Claudiu
Published: May 2024

Manele in Romania provides the first comprehensive analysis of one of the most controversial, but also one of the most dynamic popular music genres to emerge on the Romanian music scene during the past thirty years, a genre whose roots extend, however, as far as the 19th century, as several of the contributors to the volume claim. As it embarks on the ambitious task of tackling manele, the book under review surpasses in depth and width of analysis the Romanian public sphere magazine articles, editorials, or highbrow essays which have addressed this topic. The volume brings together ethnomusicology, anthropology, cultural studies to provide a detailed and nuanced account of manele as a music genre, and as a social and cultural phenomenon. Furthermore, the book’s interdisciplinary approach covers various facets of manele, their performers, their audiences, their lyrics and the way in which they represent the transition of Romanian society and culture from the communist period to one marked by capitalism, neoliberalism, Europeanization, and globalization.

Aim:
To describe the epidemiological, clinical and laboratory characteristics and clinical progress of patients hospitalized with heart failure (HF) who started treatment with empagliflozin before discharge.
Methods:
We performed a retrospective observational study of patients aged ≥18 years admitted to the Internal Medicine Department of University Hospital Jaen, Jaen, Spain with acute HF between 1 May 2022 and 31 May 2023. Patients had to have a life expectancy of ≥1 year and have started treatment with empagliflozin during admission.
Results:
We included 112 patients (mean age, 85.2 ± 6.5 years; 67.9% women; 35.7 and 31.3% in NYHA functional classes III and IV; 73.2% with HF and preserved ejection fraction). Before admission, 80.4% were taking loop diuretics, 70.6% renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system inhibitors, 49.1% betablockers and 25% mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists. At admission, 94.6% were taking furosemide (15.2% at high doses, 36.6% at intermediate doses). The dose of furosemide was reduced at initiation of empagliflozin. At the end of follow-up, 13.4% of patients had died, 93.8% of the survivors continued treatment with empagliflozin and 26.8% had attended the emergency department with signs and symptoms of HF.
Conclusion:
Introduction of empagliflozin before discharge from hospital in patients admitted with HF made it possible to reduce the dose of diuretics during admission. The frequency of complications was as expected, and treatment was largely maintained.
