Patient satisfaction reviews for 967 spine neurosurgeons on Healthgrades
Authors: Gupta Arjun , Gupta Radhika , White Michael D. , Reddy Vamsi , Chang Yue-Fang , Agarwal Prateek , Alan Nima , Agarwal Nitin
Published: December 2021

OBJECTIVE

Patients are increasingly relying on independent physician rating websites (PRWs) to obtain information about healthcare providers. Healthgrades.com is a widely used PRW that allows patients to rate physicians on various metrics of performance and quality of care. This study categorically investigated the correlations between demographics of spine neurosurgeons and online ratings on Healthgrades to better understand the factors driving patient satisfaction in spine surgery in the United States.

METHODS

In August–December 2019, the authors performed a retrospective data analysis using Healthgrades. The American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) membership database was used to identify spine neurosurgeons in the United States and extract biographical and career data. Individuals with an academic practice were further investigated for academic rank, leadership, and fellowship training. Scores from eight patient satisfaction metrics (PSMs) were collected for each surgeon from Healthgrades.

RESULTS

A total of 967 spine neurosurgeons were included in the study cohort. Patient satisfaction did not correlate with sex, PhD acquisition, academic status, or academic rank. Among those who were academic surgeons, completion of fellowship training was associated with higher ratings. Geographical location of practice did not influence patient satisfaction. Prolonged wait time was an independent predictor of decreased patient satisfaction and was a key confounding variable underlying trends seen with advanced career duration and age.

CONCLUSIONS

Overall, patients rated spine neurosurgeons highly favorably on the Healthgrades website. Due to the emerging role of PRWs in locating and assessing providers, it is important for both patients and clinicians to understand the factors that impact patient experience.

OBJECTIVE

Microsurgery for cerebral aneurysms is called definitive, yet some patients undergo a craniotomy that results in noncurative treatment. Furthermore, the overall rate of noncurative microsurgery for cerebral aneurysms is unclear. The objective of this study was to complete a systematic review and meta-analysis to quantify three scenarios of noncurative treatment: aneurysm wrapping, postclipping remnants, and late regrowth of completely obliterated aneurysms.

METHODS

A PRISMA-guided systematic literature review of the MEDLINE and Cochrane Library databases and meta-analysis was completed. Studies were included that detailed rates of aneurysm wrapping, residua confirmed with imaging, and regrowth after confirmed total occlusion. Pooled rates were subsequently calculated using a random-effects model. An assessment of statistical heterogeneity and publication bias among the included studies was also completed for each analysis, with resultant I2 values and p values determined with Egger’s test.

RESULTS

Sixty-four studies met the inclusion criteria for final analysis. In 41 studies, 573/15,715 aneurysms were wrapped, for a rate of 3.5% (95% CI 2.7%–4.2%, I2 = 88%). In 43 studies, 906/13,902 aneurysms had residual neck or dome filling, for a rate of 6.4% (95% CI 5.2%–7.6%, I2 = 93%). In 15 studies, 71/2568 originally fully occluded aneurysms showed regrowth, for a rate of 2.1% (95% CI 1.2%–3.1%, I2 = 58%). Together, there was a total rate of noncurative surgery of 12.0% (95% CI 11.5%–12.5%). Egger’s test suggested no significant publication bias among the studies. Meta-regression analysis revealed that the reported rate of aneurysm wrapping has significantly declined over time, whereas the rates of aneurysm residua and recurrence have not significantly changed.

CONCLUSIONS

Open microsurgery for cerebral aneurysm results in noncurative treatment approximately 12% of the time. This metric may be used to counsel patients and as a benchmark for other treatment modalities. This investigation is limited by the high degree of heterogeneity among the included studies.
“Portugizac Mlado vino”; is the aroma of younger red wine more attractive?
Authors: Alpeza Ivana , Lukić Katarina , Linke Ivna , Kovačević Ganić Karin
Published: December 2021

“Portugizac Mlado vino” is a local red wine with Protected designation of origin and Traditional term, and it is usually consumed very soon after alcoholic fermentation as a young wine. The maturation and aging of the wine affect the aroma composition, which is generally not pronounced and specific in the case of most red wines, but, as a sensory property, it is important for the perception of quality and consumer choice. The objective of this work was to analyze the most important aroma compounds of esters and higher alcohols, with the unpleasant volatile phenols too, in “Portugizac” wines, related to aging. The 9 young wines “Portugizac”, PDO “Plešivica” were analyzed after 3 and after 15 months of bottle storage at 16 ºC. Ethyl esters of butanoic and hexanoic acid along with isoamyl acetate are considered to be the most important esters in the fruity aroma of wine, and their concentrations in all analyzed “Portugizac” young wine samples were higher than their perception thresholds. The concentration of ethyl acetate was in the range 30-123 mg/L. The concentrations of ethyl esters of octanoic and decanoic acid, as well as 2-phenyl ethyl acetate and diethyl succinate in all analyzed wines, were lower than their perception thresholds. The concentrations of higher alcohols were much higher than their perception threshold. Bottle storage significantly affected the concentrations of analyzed compounds; after 15 months, the concentrations of acetate and ethyl esters (except ethyl acetate and diethyl succinate), as well as terpene (linalool), decreased, while higher alcohols and ethyl phenols slightly increased if compared to three months. In general, the compounds responsible for the desired fresh, fruity aroma tones were altered in an undesirable manner, while, undesirable compounds of 4-ethyl-phenol and 4-ethyl-quaiacol, which were not present in young wines, were detected in aged wines. It can be concluded that the bottle aging affects the aroma profile, undesirable changes were more pronounced than positive ones and therefore the consumption of young wine “Portugizac” might be more sensory attractive.
The basic concepts of social responsibility in the construction sector
Authors: Makeev Valerij
Published: December 2021

Despite the fact that the completion of construction projects has a direct positive impact on the growth of the national and local economy, companies in the construction sector have a significant negative impact on the environment and people: they consume a huge amount of natural resources, emit pollutants into the atmosphere, produce a large amount of waste, and are exposed to hazards. 
The resulting disruptions to the daily economic and social life of neighboring communities are (social costs) are given little attention at the stage of the construction tender. Alternative systems, such as social impact and cost estimation, cost-benefit analysis, economic and environmental assessment, proposed by practicing experts - such as social impact and cost estimation, cost-benefit analysis, economic and environmental assessment - do not fully account for these costs. 
In this regard, it became necessary to find out why social costs are not taken into account at the pre-contract stage. This article is devoted to the importance of socially responsible management of construction projects, and also contains a call to take into account social costs when inviting a tender. The author concludes that the introduction of the principles of social responsibility can bring some economic, social and environmental benefits.

Шановний читачу!

У цій вступній частині чергового випуску «УІП» традиційно виділяю найбільш резонансні в загальнонаціональному інформаційному просторі соціально значущі події за минуле півріччя, у центрі яких опинялася журналістика як сфера суспільної діяльності та носії цієї професії.

У такий спосіб є можливість привернути увагу передусім дослідників-журналістикознавців – вихованців і сповідників різних журналістських шкіл та їхніх учнів із числа аспірантів, магістрів, здобувачів наукових ступенів – до потенційних тем теоретико-практичного характеру, які потребують збирання, аналізу, узагальнення різноманітного емпіричного матеріалу та його осмислення в контексті актуальних сучасних проблем буття нашого фаху.
Журналіст як професія: ретроспективний огляд побутування поняття в інформаційному просторі
Authors: Тимошик Микола
Published: December 2021

Який зміст вкладався в поняття «журналіст» у минулому й тепер, чи змінилася сутність професії із кардинальними змінами технології виготовлення журналістського продукту? Відповіді на ці питання автор прагне знайти в кращих творах світової й української літератури, присвячені журналістській професії, а також у кінематографі.

Розглядаються в ретроспективі усталені стереотипи професії. Причому із широким діапазоном і позитивних, і негативних характеристик. Така різновекторність оцінок пояснюється трьома причинами: складністю журналістики; умовами побутування професії в тій чи тій суспільно-політичній формації; поведінкою тих, хто продукує журналістську продукцію.

Заторкується питання про попередників професії.

У підрозділі «Герої-журналісти із класики зарубіжної літератури» автор обрав для аналізу три твори, де журналістика як професія стала головним об’єктом гостросюжетних оповідей. Це романи «Втрачені ілюзії» француза Оноре де Бальзака, «Мартін Іден» американця Джека Лондона та «Смерть героя» англійця Річарда Олдінгтона. Проблематика викладається за трьома складниками аналізу: сюжет, журналістське тло, показові цитати. Цього ж принципу дотримано і при аналізі творів журналістикознавчої тематики з української літератури, а також поезії та кіно.

У висновках акцентується увага на такому. В оглянутих творах світової й української літератури діаметрально протилежні оцінки праці журналіста, як і відмінні мотивації вибору цієї професії, знаходить своє підтвердження: в усі часи й епохи були й порядні та чесні, і продажні та кон’юнктурні журналісти. Натомість авторські та читацькі симпатії завжди були на боці перших. Перспективу й довіру читацького (слухацького, глядацького) загалу, як також і оптимістичний прогноз, матиме та журналістика, яку творитимуть передусім особистості в цій професії – не забруднені заграванням із політиками чи бізнесом, із власним стилем письма і сталим дотриманням високих стандартів фаху, вироблених не одним поколінням чесних і правдивих журналістів.

На основі фактажу про поведінку, позицію, чин, наміри й реальні дії журналіста в професійному й особистому житті, що випливають з оглянутих текстів, у статті виведено своєрідну професіограму типового носія цієї популярної колись і тепер професії.
Візуальна репрезентація міста Запоріжжя у кіновиробництві
Authors: Рогова Тетяна , Гапонов Микита
Published: December 2021

У статті здійснено спробу історичного аналізу кінематографічних робіт, які знімалися на локаціях індустріального міста Запоріжжя та презентації думок істориків і кінокритиків, які аналізували обрані фільми. Візуальна репрезентація міста може проявлятися в постановочних та документальних сценах різножанрового матеріалу та мати різні форматні прояви залежно від сюжету та поставлених завдань перед режисерською групою. У часи гібридної війни із Росією грамотна інформаційна політика має включати представлення урбаністичних образів різних регіонів, у тому числі, для формування проукраїнської позиції серед численної аудиторії та підвищення інвестиційної привабливості регіону.

У процесі дослідження встановлено, що образ міста, репрезентований в екранних роботах, часто залежить від історичної епохи та актуального стану розвитку міста. Було з’ясовано, які саме об’єкти найчастіше демонструвалися в документальних, рідше в постановочних фільмах; описані нетипові та конфліктні ситуації під час зйомок та виходу екранних робіт у прокат. Завдяки історичному методу вдалося прослідкувати та описати конкретні фільми, вказати роки їх виходу, режисерську групу, описати візуальні засоби, що використовувались. Застосовуючи метод синтезу, описали типові історичні події, які можна презентувати в будь-який час завдяки постановочній ретроспективній зйомці, а за допомогою методу прогнозування окреслили, якими в подальшому можуть бути ключові візуальні об’єкти, що демонструватимуться у фільмах, відзнятих в індустріальному місті недалеко від зони ООС із багатовіковою історією. Розвідка охоплює питання, що цікаві дослідникам сучасної журналістики та соціальних комунікацій, іміджології, мистецтва, кінематографії, архітектурного та історичного коду міста.
A PATOP Study of Philosophy and Business Management: Western vs. Chinese Business Structures in Taiwan
Authors: Ken Huang Leelien
Published: December 2021

Introduction. Alignment between the philosophical value of the Western parent company and the structure of the local organization is essential to improve managing effectiveness and worker productivity. The alignment may need adjustment while considering whether a Western model is fitted into the Chinese workgroup. This study examines the philosophical value concerning business management within an organization and then explores which value is applicable to the modern Chinese structure in the context of Taiwan. Purpose and methods. The purpose is the holistic view of the Chinese model, as opposed to the separated approach of the West. It does not attempt to find the best philosophical framework of business management for local Chinese structure in Taiwan, as such a framework probably does not exist. Instead, it explores the specific phenomena considered during the process of emergence of business management framework when comparing philosophical value for both selected cases of Western and Chinese enterprises. The case study and PATOP model were used. Results. As a result, there has no single model that is absolutely appropriate to both business and people in one way or the other. Both Chinese and Western philosophical ways of doing business have merits and weaknesses, as illustrated. The implication of the results is the emerged PATOP model. The model indicates an ideal work environment where the Western approach is applicable to the Chinese structure in Taiwan. Conclusions. It concludes that the philosophical approach in doing business within the Chinese structure is erected in a way of “Middle of the Road” according to the PATOP emerged from the study. However, it should be noted that there will be drift as this emerged PATOP model used in the Chinese structure with western approach, indicating another issue “what an acceptable time for drift would be”?
Production and Consumption Model of a Modern Music Product
Authors: Parkhomenko Iryna , Berezovska Kateryna
Published: December 2021

Introduction. The relevance of the study is in the formation of conceptual and terminological apparatus for the functioning of the music industry in Ukraine, the identification of music product producers, determining the specifics of music product and its essence, to develop an effective mechanism for copyright protection of authors and performers (artists) in a crisis of royalty payments formed in Ukraine in 2021. Purpose and methods. The study aims to determine the model of production and consumption of a modern music product given the rapid digitization of such a product in the last decade. The methodological basis of the study is comprehensive, systematic, and historical approaches. Results. A music product is defined in two definitions: first, like a musical composition with lyrics (song) or without lyrics (melody); secondly, “artist” as a music product that is directly involved in creating a track (song), public performance (concert), products with the symbols of their brand (merch) and content for social networks, television, radio, including advertising. Modern manufacturers of the music industry commercialize the artist's brand, his unique story. This strategy ensures rapid monetization of the music project and reduces investment risks. Conclusions. The scientific novelty of the research results is to determine the specifics of the functioning of traditional and modern models of modern music product production and consumption. The practical significance of the obtained results is in the use of the concept of “music product” for the development and improvement of legislation in the field of culture, the functioning of the music industry, and the protection of intellectual property rights, including copyright.
Peru: Tell clients how to use their chosen method
Authors:   Frontiers in Reproductive Health
Published: December 2021

In 1998, the Peruvian Ministry of Health (MOH) issued quality of care norms to ensure that family planning providers respond to clients’ reproductive health care needs and goals. In mid-1999, the Population Council collaborated with the MOH on a study to determine whether length of counseling sessions affects amount of information provided. The study focused on 19 health centers in 10 urban areas. Six simulated clients (women posing as clients) made a total of 114 visits to the health centers during June–July 1999. Each client was trained to say that she wanted to switch from the rhythm method to a more effective method. After counseling, she chose the injectable Depo-Provera but stated that she wished to consult her husband before beginning use. To assess the quality of counseling, simulated clients completed a checklist after each visit, indicating what information had been given. This brief concludes that family planning providers in Peru need to focus more closely on giving clients relevant information on their chosen method and asking key questions to make the most effective use of the time available for client counseling.

Authors: Wu Keyan , Lang Xun , Zhang Yufeng , Li Zhiyao , He Bingbing , Gao Lian , Chen Jianhua
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND: Considerable progress of ultrasound simulation on blood has enhanced the characterizing of red blood cell (RBC) aggregation. OBJECTIVE: A novel simulation method aims at modeling the blood with different RBC aggregations and concentrations is proposed. METHODS: The modeling process is as follows: (i) A three-dimensional scatterer model is first built by a mapping with a Hilbert space-filling curve from the one-dimensional scatterer distribution. (ii) To illustrate the relationship between the model parameters and the RBC aggregation level, a variety of blood samples are prepared and scanned to acquire their radiofrequency signals in-vitro. (iii) The model parameters are determined by matching the Nakagami-distribution characteristics of envelope signals simulated from the model with those measured from the blood samples. RESULTS: Nakagami metrics m estimated from 15 kinds of blood samples (hematocrits of 20%, 40%, 60% and plasma concentrations of 15%, 30%, 45%, 60%, 75%) are compared with metrics estimated by their corresponding models (each with different eligible parameters). Results show that for the three hematocrit levels, the mean and standard deviation of the root-mean-squared deviations of m are 0.27 ± 0.0026, 0.16 ± 0.0021, 0.12 ± 0.0018 respectively. CONCLUSION: The proposed simulation model provides a viable data source to evaluate the performance of the ultrasound-based methods for quantifying RBC aggregation.
Report of oscillopsia in ataxia patients correlates with activity, not vestibular ocular reflex gain
Authors: Millar Jennifer L. , Schubert Michael C.
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND: Patients with cerebellar ataxia report oscillopsia, “bouncy vision” during activity, yet little is known how this impacts daily function. The purpose of this study was to quantify the magnitude of oscillopsia and investigate its relation to vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) function and daily activity in cerebellar ataxia. METHODS: 19 patients diagnosed with cerebellar ataxia and reports of oscillopsia with activity were examined using the video head impulse test (vHIT), Oscillopsia Functional Index (OFI), and clinical gait measures. Video head impulse data was compared against 40 healthy controls. RESULTS: OFI scores in ataxia patients were severe and inversely correlated with gait velocity (r = –0.55, p < 0.05), but did not correlate with VOR gains. The mean VOR gain in the ataxic patients was significantly reduced and more varied compared with healthy controls. All patients had abnormal VOR gains and eye/head movement patterns in at least one semicircular canal during VHIT with passive head rotation. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with cerebellar ataxia and oscillopsia have impaired VOR gains, yet severity of oscillopsia and VOR gains are not correlated. Patients with cerebellar ataxia have abnormal oculomotor behavior during passive head rotation that is correlated with gait velocity, but not magnitude of oscillopsia.

ШКОЛА В УКРАЇНСЬКІЙ РСР У ДРУГІЙ ПОЛОВИНІ 1940-Х – НАПРИКІНЦІ 1980-Х РОКІВ ОЧИМА ДОСЛІДНИКІВ УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ ЕМІГРАЦІЇ
Authors: Лаврут Ольга
Published: December 2021

У зарубіжній україніці історики з неприхованою шаною та прихильністю до історії України здійснювали свою наукову діяльність. Вони переважно без доступу до першоджерел спиралися на процеси ранньомодерної та модерної доби, Української революції 1917–1921 рр. та на праці істориків міжвоєнного періоду. Роботи концентрують масив первинної і вторинної інформації, яка формує документальний спадок української діаспори, а також організації спеціальних колекцій у бібліотеках, архівах, музеях. Що ж до післявоєнного періоду, то історики були фактично спостерігачами, критиками та аналітиками. Свої роботи вони створювали переважно з опертям на попередній науковий досвід, фонди Центрального державного архіву зарубіжної україніки, власний хист, інтуїцію та інформацію від осіб, які вирвалися з коліщат Радянського Союзу. Україну вони розглядали з позиції геополітики, що завжди спонукало її до позиції вибору. Вона відігравала вагому роль в історії. Дослідники вважали школу важливою ланкою в цьому процесі. Науковці вивчили суспільно-політичні та економічні трансформації, продемонстрували зумовленість політичних і демографічних змін у сталінську й післясталінську добу, освітні тенденції в радянському суспільстві. Вони засуджували політику Комуністичної партії й щодо населення, яке не було забезпечене належним чином та права якого постійно порушувалися. Історики у своїх роботах продемонстрували захист письменниками української мови та українськомовної освіти. Зарубіжні дослідники зупинилися на умовах (насамперед ідеолого-політичних) функціонування й діяльності відомих особистостей та організацій, на позбавленні прав українців у різних сферах життя, на дисидентському русі. При цьому розвідок про діяльність власне школи було замало, що пояснюється відсутністю можливостей доступу до архівних матеріалів та умовами життя в УРСР, які створювали перешкоди до інформаційної й аналітичної діяльності. Водночас це сприяло більш критичному ставленню (так би мовити, «погляду збоку») до проблеми. Діяльність істориків в еміграції спрямовувалася на підтримку українських елементів у школі в Україні радянської доби.
