Assessing Factor Influence on Interbudgetary Transfers Income to Municipal Budgets
Authors: Vakhrameev Roman A.
Published: October 2024

The article proposes an approach to studying and assessing the influence of factors on the volume of interbudgetary transfers income to municipal budgets. The relevance of the work is predetermined by the need to find ways to increase the replenishment of municipal budgets through the means of influence available for municipalities in order to fulfill their obligations and further territorial progress, including due to the unstable economic situation. Municipalities in Russia are in conditions of high dependence on incomes from higher-level budgets due to limited opportunities to strengthen their own revenue base, needing to attract as much gratuitous revenue as possible to their budgets. However, the aspects that have the greatest impact on the growth of intergovernmental transfers to the budget change over time and require elaboration. The aim of the work is to identify influencing factors that have a positive effect on increasing the incomes of interbudgetary transfers to municipal budgets, as well as to establish the degree of their influence on the volume of financial assistance provided. The study was carried out using industry-wide methods of system analysis with using statistical tools; the objects of the study were municipalities of the Samara region. The revenues of municipal budgets were analyzed, including to identify emerging trends. In addition, an assessment of factors and the degree of their influence on increasing the revenue base of municipalities in terms of gratuitous revenues from the subfederal level was carried out on the basis of correlation and regression analysis, including a dynamic comparison of the calculated models based on the results of 2012 and 2022. The key factors that have the greatest impact on the replenishment of municipal budgets through interbudgetary transfers have been identified, which has become an element of work’s scientific novelty. The results of the study can be used in the development of municipal policy in the field of interbudgetary relations, as well as become the basis for further study on a national scale.

Integrated agricultural production systems (SIPA's) are systems where crop crops are carried out in an integrated manner, with grain and forage cultivation in the same area, in rotation, succession or intercropping, in addition to the presence of grazing animals. These systems, in addition to diversifying agricultural production, benefiting crops and livestock, are more sustainable, economically viable agricultural practices aimed at preserving soils. Integrated crop-livestock systems are based on the idea that livestock activity can contribute to the generation of organic waste, improvement of the physical and chemical characteristics of the soil, crop alternation, interruption of the cycle of plant diseases and reduction of losses caused by climate variability. In addition, although the benefits of the adoption of LPIS in lowlands are known, they are still incipient and need more research to produce more consistent technical recommendations.
THE USE OF CANCELLATION AS A FORM OF COERCION FROM A BEHAVIORAL ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Winklam Vinícius , da Silva Angela Cristina , Soares Izabel Cristina
Published: October 2024

The objective of this work is to analyze, from the functional analysis of behavior, occurrences of the so-called "digital cancellation", defined as withdrawal of support for a certain public figure because of the disapproval of some attitude, speech and/or positioning of the person in digital media. It is hypothesized that this phenomenon is an attempt at coercive control. Based on this, three cases of "cancellation" of digital influencers were analyzed: Bruno Aiub, Gabriela Pugliesi and Leonardo de Lima Borges Lins. The analysis methodology was the contingency analysis associated with the theoretical discussion of behavioral basis, through which the following contingencies of the cases of "cancellation" were identified: the variation of the consumer public; the content of comments on publications; and legal and financial measures. Such contingencies served as analyzers of the consequences of the behaviors of the "canceled". From this analysis, it is concluded that there is inconsistency in the application of aversive consequences, as well as the continuity of behaviors similar to the "canceled" in two of the three cases analyzed. Thus, "digital cancellation" can be understood as a coercive action, controlled by consequences other than behavioral change, with unpredictable results in the behavior of those who are canceled and with the incidence of side effects that maintain the behavioral pattern targeted by the "cancellation".

Methods: Using the Model for Improvement framework, a new process that included the Yale Swallow Protocol (YSP) was developed, implemented, and evaluated between July and December 2022 in a 20-bed tertiary ICU. All patients with at least four hours after post-extubation were included in the project. Process development included a literature review and feedback from ICU educators, nurses, physicians, SLPs, and Registered Dietitians (RD). Education was provided to critical care nurses prior to implementation. Data on patient characteristics, process indicators, and outcomes were collected between September and December 2022 to evaluate the project implementation. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the data and bivariate analyses were used to compare data between patients who passed and failed the YSP. Results: Fifty-four patients were extubated and evaluated using the new swallow screening process. Post-extubation dysphagia was diagnosed by an SLP in 30.0% of patients. Dysphagia was diagnosed in 90.0% of patients who failed compared to 8.6% of patients who passed the YSP (P<0.001). Conclusion: A swallow screening process using the YSP was successfully adopted in a tertiary ICU.

Published: October 2024

Peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion is a frequent procedure for hospitalized pediatric and neonatal patients. Timely and successful PIVC insertion can be challenging in pediatric and neonatal patients due to small or fragile veins, younger age, obesity, and patient activity (Alberto et al., 2023; Ben Abdelaziz et al., 2017; Girotto et al., 2020; Schults et al., 2019, 2022). First attempt insertion success ranges from 64% to 74%, with an average of 2.1 attempts prior to insertion of a functional PIVC (Kleidon et al., 2022). In children with difficult intravenous access (DIVA), the average number of attempts increases to four prior to an insertion of a functional PIVC (Kleidon et al., 2019; Schults et al., 2019). In addition to insertion difficulty, once a functional PIVC is successfully inserted, it is reported that 34% to 56% will fail prior to treatment completion, often necessitating the need for additional attempts to replace the failed PIVC (Indarwati et al., 2020; Kleidon et al, 2019; Kleidon, Rickard et al., 2020; van Rens, 2021).

Aims: To assess the feasibility of a randomized controlled trial using virtual reality (VR) intervention to manage anxiety in adult patients during painful needle-related procedures in an emergency department (ED). Background: The often overlooked or insufficiently managed needle-related anxiety in adults negatively impacts patient satisfaction and experience, necessitating innovative solutions. While VR has shown potential benefits for children, its efficacy has yet to be evaluated within the adult population. Design: A pilot randomized controlled trial. Methods: A single-site, two-arm, parallel randomized controlled trial will be conducted in an Australian ED. Eligible adult patients (n = 60) needing painful needle-related procedures will be randomly assigned to either a VR intervention group (wearing a VR headset) or a standard care group. Anxiety, stress, and pain levels will be measured during three time points, pre-, during, and post-interventions. It is expected to see a reduction in anxiety, stress, and pain levels in the VR intervention group. Discussion: The findings will demonstrate the feasibility of conducting a fully powered trial. Conclusion: This study will provide insights into the potential of VR intervention as a management strategy for anxiety in ED patients undergoing painful needle-related procedures.
Revisiting Aristotle vs. Ringelmann: The influence of biases on measuring productivity in Open Source software development
Authors: Gut Christian , Goldman Alfredo
Published: October 2024

Aristotle vs. Ringelmann was a discussion between two distinct research teams from the ETH Zürich who argued whether the productivity of Open Source software projects scales sublinear or superlinear with regard to its team size. This discussion evolved around two publications, which apparently used similar techniques by sampling projects on GitHub and running regression analyses to answer the question about superlinearity. Despite the similarity in their research methods, one team around Ingo Scholtes reached the conclusion that projects scale sublinear, while the other team around Didier Sornette ascertained a superlinear relationship between team size and productivity. In subsequent publications, the two authors argue that the opposite conclusions may be attributed to differences in project populations, since 81.7% of Sornette’s projects have less than 50 contributors. Scholtes, on the other hand, sampled specifically projects with more than 50 contributors. This publication compares the research from both authors by replicating their findings, thus allowing for an evaluation of how much project sampling actually accounted for the differences between Scholtes’ and Sornette’s results. Thereby, the discovery was made that sampling bias only partially explains the discrepancies between the two authors. Further analysis led to the detection of instrumentation biases that drove the regression coefficients in opposite directions. These findings were then consolidated into a quantitative analysis, indicating that instrumentation biases contributed more to the differences between Scholtes’ and Sornette’s work than the selection bias suggested by both authors.

Automated end-to-end testing plays a crucial role in modern web software projects, helping testers identify faults within complex applications and shorten development cycles. Frameworks such as Cypress are essential to provide a comprehensive testing environment with features that facilitate better access and validation of page elements. However, time-related challenges (synchronization issues) remain a significant concern in such suites. Testers need to be aware of these challenges and employ appropriate waiting mechanisms to ensure test reliability. This paper presents a catalog of waiting mechanisms for Cypress tests and a set of empirical studies that investigate the potential impact of synchronization issues and waiting mechanisms on test suites. Our studies examine the suites of an open-source and industrial project. Our findings reveal that up to 32% of a suite can break due to synchronization issues, exposing flaky tests. Subsequently, we revised the suites by applying four waiting mechanisms (Static Wait, Stable DOM Wait, Network Wait, and Explicit Wait). Network Wait and Explicit Wait emerged as the most promising strategies leading to no breakages.

Software documentation is a relevant process for delivering quality software, as it assists stakeholders in using, understanding, maintaining, and implementing software productively. However, notable particularities emerge when investigating the context of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) projects, which require special attention. Therefore, through a Systematic Mapping Study (SMS), this work aims to map the challenges and solutions regarding software documentation in FOSS based on the last ten years of scientific research (published between 2013 and 2023). From an initial set of 1271 papers, 12 primary studies were identified from which it was possible to categorize five challenges (Collaboration, Quality, Incompleteness, Maintainability, and Categorization) and three general perspectives of solutions (Strategic Use of README, Adoption of Artificial Intelligence, and Support Tools & Approaches). As an academic contribution, we provide an SMS revealing a set of challenges and solutions related to software documentation, a topic still underexplored in the FOSS research context. From a practical and industrial standpoint, this paper promotes a reflection on the use of documentation in FOSS projects, echoing challenges and solutions that can contribute to improving the quality of documentation.
Views on Agile Leadership for Software Teams: A Case Study with Leaders and Non-Leaders
Authors: Araújo Narallynne , Massoni Tiago , Gren Lucas
Published: October 2024

Recent research suggests that agile leadership is regarded as shared, transformational, and dynamic, in the view of technical leaders themselves. Also, it promotes collaboration and a strong sense of belonging, requiring a balance in integrating different organizational cultures. On the other hand, previous research overlooks the perspective of developers who are non-leaders. We conducted a case study involving leaders and non-leaders in two software development teams. The way leaders share leadership activities are similar in terms of technical experience and team tenure but differ in terms of team size, and non-leaders’ aptitude to take on leadership activities. Also, non-leaders’ views on leadership differed from those of leaders; non-leaders considered the leadership they received as individual and hierarchical, in contrast to the leaders’ views, who perceived agile leadership as a shared team attribute. These different points of view provide insights into how the development process can be affected, especially when assigning roles and responsibilities between leaders and non-leaders to achieve agile leadership benefits.
