Published: July 2023

The pyridine ring is present in numerous significant plant compounds. It is used as a therapeutic to boost the solubility and bioavailability of less soluble chemicals since it is a polar and ionizable aromatic molecule. Chemical compounds derived from pyridine are highly sought-after in the pharmaceutical industry. An essential synthesis strategy in the search for novel medications is the fusion of the pyridine nucleus. Due to the compounds’ powerful therapeutic characteristics, medicinal chemists have long been fascinated by the chemistry of pyridine and its derivatives, which inspires them to look for and make novel compounds with biological utility. There are significant ramifications for medical chemistry in the adaptability of pyridine and its derivatives as reactants and starting materials for structural changes. Pesticides and agricultural chemicals that heavily rely on pyridine derivatives include insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides; However, this page focuses on their medical applications. Pyridine derivatives are frequently used in the textile industry to create dyes. We present the most recent findings from 2010 onward, highlighting the growing significance of pyridine scaffolds in medicinal chemistry and the development of new drugs. Even though there are a lot of studies on pyridine derivatives, this chapter only has compounds with a clear pharmacophore.

Published: July 2023

Background

Age-specific and gender-specific reference values for left ventricular (LV) and right ventricle volumes are available. The prognostic implications of the ratio between these volumes in heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) have never been evaluated.

Methods

We examined all HFpEF outpatients undergoing a cardiac magnetic resonance from 2011 to 2021. The left-to-right ventricular volume ratio (LRVR) was defined as the ratio between the LV and right ventricle end-diastolic volume indexes (LVEDVi/RVEDVi).

Results

Among 159 patients [median age 58 years (interquartile range 49–69), 64% men, LV ejection fraction 60% (54–70%)] the median LRVR was 1.21 (1.07–1.40). Over 3.5 years (1.5–5.0), 23 patients (15%) experienced all-cause death or heart failure hospitalization, and 22 (14%) cardiovascular death or heart failure hospitalization. The risk of all-cause death or heart failure hospitalization increased with an LRVR less than 1.0 or at least 1.4. An LRVR less than 1.0 was associated with a higher risk of all-cause death or heart failure hospitalization [hazard ratio 5.95, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.67–21.28; P = 0.006] and cardiovascular death or heart failure hospitalization (hazard ratio 5.68, 95% CI 1.58–20.35; P = 0.008) as compared with LRVR 1.0–1.3. Furthermore, an LRVR at least 1.4 was associated with a higher risk of all-cause death or heart failure hospitalization (hazard ratio 4.10, 95% CI 1.58–10.61; P = 0.004) and cardiovascular death or heart failure hospitalization (hazard ratio 3.71, 95% CI 1.41–9.79; P = 0.008) as compared with LRVR 1.0–1.3. These results were confirmed in patients without dilation of either ventricle.

Conclusion

LRVR values less than 1.0 or at least 1.4 are associated with worse outcomes in HFpEF. LRVR may become a valuable tool for risk prediction in HFpEF.

Published: July 2023

Aims

Initially developed for myocardial protection in immature cardiomyocytes, del Nido cardioplegia has been increasingly used over the past decade in adult patients. Our aim is to analyse the results from randomized controlled trials and observational studies comparing early mortality and postoperative troponin release in patients who underwent cardiac surgery using del Nido solution and blood cardioplegia.

Methods

A literature search was performed through three online databases between January 2010 and August 2022. Clinical studies providing early mortality and/or postoperative troponin evaluation were included. A random-effects meta-analysis with a generalized linear mixed model, incorporating random study effects, was implemented to compare the two groups.

Results

Forty-two articles were included in the final analysis for a total of 11 832 patients, 5926 of whom received del Nido solution and 5906 received blood cardioplegia. del Nido and blood cardioplegia populations had comparable age, gender distribution, history of hypertension and diabetes mellitus. There was no difference in early mortality between the two groups. There was a trend towards lower 24 h [mean difference −0.20; 95% confidence interval (CI) −0.40 to 0.00; I
2 = 89%; P = 0.056] and lower peak postoperative troponin levels (mean difference −0.10; 95% CI −0.21 to 0.01; I
2 = 0.87; P = 0.087) in the del Nido group.

Conclusion

del Nido cardioplegia can be safely used in adult cardiac surgery. The use of del Nido solution was associated with similar results in terms of early mortality and postoperative troponin release when compared with blood cardioplegia myocardial protection.

Published: July 2023

During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the epidemiology of heart failure significantly changed with reduced access to health system resources and a worsening of patients’ outcome. Understanding the causes of these phenomena could be important to refine the management of heart failure during and after the pandemic. Telemedicine was associated with an improvement in heart failure outcomes in several studies; therefore, it may help in refining the out-of-hospital care of heart failure. In this review, the authors describe the changes in heart failure epidemiology during the COVID-19 pandemic; analyse available evidence on use and benefit of telemedicine during the pandemic and prepandemic periods; and discuss approaches to optimize the home-based or outpatient heart failure management in the future, beyond the pandemic.

Authors: Barone Lucy , Muscoli Saverio , Belli Martina , Di Luozzo Marco , Sergi Domenico , Marchei Massimo , Prandi Francesca R. , Uccello Giuseppe , Romeo Francesco , Barillà Francesco
Published: July 2023

Aims

Conduction abnormalities, requiring a permanent pacemaker (PPM), are the most common electrical complications after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The exact mechanism for conduction system defects is not yet clear. The local inflammatory process and edema are thought to play a role in the development of electrical disorders. Corticosteroids are effective anti-inflammatory and antiedematous agents. We aim to investigate the potential protective effect of corticosteroids on conduction defects after TAVI.

Methods

This is a retrospective study of a single center. We analyzed 96 patients treated with TAVI. Thirty-two patients received oral prednisone 50 mg for 5 days after the procedure. This population was compared with the control group. All patients were followed up after 2 years.

Results

Of the 96 patients included, 32 (34%) were exposed to glucocorticoids after TAVI. No differences in age, preexisting right bundle branch block or left bundle branch block, or valve type were seen among patients exposed to glucocorticoids versus those who were unexposed. We observed no significant differences between the two groups in the overall frequency of new PPM implantations during hospitalization (12% vs. 17%, P = 0.76). The incidence of atrioventricular block (AVB) (STx 9% vs. non-STx 9%, P = 0.89), right bundle branch block (STx 6% vs. non-STx 11%, P = 0.71), and left bundle branch block (STx 34% vs. non-STx 31%, P = 0.9) was not significantly different between the STx and non-STx groups. At 2 years after TAVI, none of the patients had implanted PPM or had severe arrhythmias documented by 24-h Holter ECG or cardiac examination.

Conclusion

Oral prednisone treatment does not appear to significantly reduce the incidence of AVB requiring acute PPM implantation after TAVI.
Capacity Building and Development in the Health Sector: Implications for Romania
Authors:   Bucharest University of Economic Studies, Bucharest, Romania, Almășan – Anghel Cristiana Maria
Published: July 2023

Capacity development is a key component in the overall improvement process of any branch of the public sector within a country. The role of capacity building is defined by the ability of a system to maximize its productivity and human resource availability and regeneration over time, through the enacting of positive policies which are beneficial to itself and to the people that comprise it. Due to recent events, it became essential to re-evaluate the development of the workforce capacity processes with respect to the of the swiftly changing global healthcare system requirements. In the case of the public health sector, capacity building and development are fully influenced by the number of human resources and financial investments that are poured into the apparatus, since one cannot ensure productivity without the other; these two factors are highly dependent on each other. From a political point of view, the ramifications of a failed development programme have been proved to be dire for the health sector within Romania as it can be observed, over the last two decades, what a subpar financial backing can do to such an institution. It is imperative for a country to invest into the infrastructure of its public health system just as much as it should invest in the workers within it, otherwise it is destined to fail to meet the popular requirement of medical care, which are of a paramount importance. Considering the mentioned objectives and motifs, this study`s main target is to explore how capacity building is to be improved to meet the newly formed demands of the public health system, due to the recent critical changes it has suffered.

Published: July 2023

The objective of the paper is to introduce a teaching strategy designed to improve students’ engagement in management accounting classes. During the pandemics, the authors of this paper introduced a new requirement for the students, the question of the week. Instead of a normal homework, the teachers designed new questions, involving aspects from several chapters, with a higher degree of difficulty, or designed questions which required each student to introduce his or her own figures. The method describes the context and an example of application with solution. The results indicate that the questions improved the student engagement and their understanding of the concepts. The approach is original, as it helps the teacher to create example for each student. It can be used in both online and face-to-face teaching.

Published: July 2023

Human resource management (HRM) is a critical field in business and organizations, and practices in this field can significantly influence employee engagement and organizational culture. The paper proposes a model for evaluating the effects of HRM practices on employee commitment and organizational culture. The empirical study in which the model is tested was carried out among 294 employees from Romanian organizations who answered the questionnaire questions. Structural equation modeling was used to process the data and obtain the results. HRM practices can directly influence employee engagement and organizational culture. Involving employees in the decision-making process, offering opportunities for career development, properly managing labor relations, and promoting diversity and inclusion are HRM practices that can increase employee engagement and develop a positive organizational culture. The study has important managerial implications by highlighting HRM practices that substantially affect employee engagement and organizational culture. Employees more involved and loyal to the organization are more likely to respect its values and goals, so the organizational culture becomes more substantial and better defined. Therefore, organizations must implement HRM practices that help increase employee engagement and develop a more robust and better-defined organizational culture.

The current paper emphasizes the role that e-learning platforms play in upskilling and reskilling of the European workforce, thus improving the competitiveness and contributing to a stronger digital landscape. By using a mixed-method approach, combining literature review, document and trend analysis with descriptive statistical analysis, the auhors have examined the relationship between e-learning platforms and the European digital society. The research revealed substantial disparities in digital skill proficiency and online learning adoption among European citizens, emphasizing the need for targeted strategies to boost digital literacy and fully harness the potential of e-learning platforms in improving digital skills. European countries should capitalize on the progress made in the last two years and work towards creating digital educational tools and methods that are of higher quality, more readily available and more inclusive. Although a number of programs and target objectives are in place to support the digitalization of education in Europe, the e-learning platforms still represent an underutilized tool that can help to increase digital skills among European citizens. The potential to improve the digital skills is still high and an extra focus should be granted to the programs that improve these on a national or cross border level. The originality of the article consists of a review of relevant statistics regarding the most recent evolution of online learning and digital skills, along with an examination of the existing frameworks at the European level that have an aim to improve digital education and skills. This research contributes to a better understanding of the complex and expansive nature of e-learning platforms and the European Digital Society and can offer valuable insights to policymakers and other stakeholders such as decision-makers from various organizations, educators and technologists

Según el censo realizado de manera general en el año 2005, en Colombia existen cerca de 87 comunidades indígenas. Según la Constitución Política, los indígenas poseen una legislación propia de su cultura lo que ha permitido que algunos de esos territorios, a los cuales no puede acceder la Fuerza Pública, se utilicen para la explotación ilícita de recursos naturales y para cultivos ilícitos. Por lo tanto, haciendo uso de una metodología cualitativa se analizar las estrategias actuales dispuestas por las FFMM de Colombia para fortalecer las relaciones civiles-militares con las comunidades indígenas del departamento del Cauca

Currently, the government continues to encourage the development of oil palm plantation areas with the aim of boosting domestic economic activity. Nagari Lubuk Karak has a large area of land and has the potential to be developed into plantations, especially oil palm plantations. This regency has a land area of 1056 ha. Therefore, an evaluation of land suitability needs to be carried out in order to know the actual and potential land suitability class recommendations for oil palm plantations in that village. The stages in the research included secondary data collection, pre-survey, main survey and soil analysis in the laboratory. Land suitability classification is done by matching method. From the research results it is known that the limiting factors in the actual land suitability class at the study site were temperature, water availability, nutrient retention, and erosion hazard. After improvements have been made with good land management, the land suitability class can be increased with a potential land suitability class, which was previously classified as S3, increased to S2, and previously classified as S2, can be increased to S1. Thus, to obtain good oil palm growth in this region, it is necessary to improve the limiting factors on each land.

Dalam artikel ini akan dibahas mengenai pengaruh digitalisasi terhadap proses interaksi yang terjadi antara JKT48 dengan penggemar. Transisi media dari konvensional menuju digital mengawali wajah baru dunia menuju pembaharuan yang bernama digitalisasi. Pengaruh yang dihasilkan tidak hanya dirasakan oleh sektor industri saja, melainkan juga sektor komunikasi. Jika biasanya komunikasi dilakukan secara tatap muka, maka dengan kecanggihan teknologi orang dapat dengan mudah menjalin interaksi dengan orang lain hanya bermodal gawai digital saja. Hal ini turut mempengaruhi pola konsumsi masyarakat menjadi lebih besar akibat dari mudahnya akses terhadap produk digital. Berdasarkan fenomena tersebut, maka pelaku usaha diharuskan untuk bisa berinovasi supaya tidak mengalami kebangkrutan. Salah satunya dapat dilihat pada pelaku industri musik yaitu JKT48. Idol grup tersebut berinovasi dengan menciptakan sistem yang bernama idol you can meet. Kedekatan yang terjalin tersebut mendorong munculnya perasaan seakan penggemar mengenal secara personal artis yang diidolakan. Fenomena semacam inilah yang dinamakan dengan interaksi parasosial. Untuk mengulas pola interaksi tersebut, maka penelitian ini menggunakan metode pendekatan kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data library research, dan disertai dengan analisis data deskriptif analitik.

Desenvolvimento de tecnologias de uso dual pela base industrial de defesa como mecanismo de desenvolvimento econômico
Authors: Thaumaturgo Vergueiro Luiz Fabricio
Published: July 2023

O desenvolvimento e uso de tecnologias passíveis de uso dual, entendidas como aquelas aptas ao emprego tanto em aplicações de uso civil, quanto em missões tipicamente militares (com ou sem pequenas adaptações), é um fenômeno histórico,  principalmente nos países em desenvolvimento, onde uma crescente demanda de recursos para a saúde, educação, infraestrutura, etc., impõe a redução de gastos com os setores militares, praticamente obrigando que orçamentos de defesa passassem a ser conjugados com os recursos, também escassos,  da iniciativa privada, em tecnologias adequadas simultaneamente para o meio civil (normalmente o seu maior consumidor), e para as Forças Armadas e de segurança pública. A maioria dos países desenvolvidos possui um sistema integrado de indústrias de defesa que se articula com a academia e o Poder Público para o desenvolvimento de tecnologias de alto valor agregado e que traz significativo progresso econômico e científico para a economia nacional. O Brasil possui uma Base Industrial de Defesa competente e relativamente desenvolvida, complementada por um ainda maior parque industrial e tecnológico, porém, flutuações econômicas colocam em risco a manutenção e avanço desse setor estratégico de qualquer economia nacional. Este artigo examina, em um nível preliminar, sob o enfoque da teoria dos sistemas complexos, as interações entre conhecimentos científicos e segmentos sociais muito diferenciados, as possibilidades de desenvolvimento de tecnologias de uso dual como ferramenta de fomento da Base Industrial de Defesa, e da economia científico-tecnológica como um todo.

Authors: Araújo Messias Jorge Rodrigo , de Lima Lucio Magda
Published: July 2023

A partir de dados do Pisa, da OCDE, do Censo do IBGE, da PNAD, do SAEB, e as metas de qualidade educacional do INEP, dentre outros, agregados às informações de financiamento da educação compreendemos como um ambiente de gestão e governança baseado em evidências empíricas pode contribuir para melhorar a tomada de decisão e, por conseguinte, as entregas públicas relacionadas à educação básica. Objetivamente, a partir da premissa de que a educação básica é motor propulsor para um projeto de desenvolvimento baseado em conhecimento e. por conseguinte, em tecnologia, pretende-se compreender e apresentar algumas análises promissoras e diretrizes que permitam a criação e implementação de ambientes de gestão e governança com capacidade de transcender aspectos de conformidade e controle e caminhar em direção a um ambiente em que informações possam se transformar em dados capazes de orientar a tomada de decisão de gestoras e gestores em todo o território  nacional
