RUSSIA’S ENERGY POLICY AS A TOOL OF HYBRID DESTRUCTION OF THE DEMOCRATIC WORLD
Authors: Sukhodolia Oleksandr
Published: November 2022

Authoritarian players, who take advantage of the fundamental principles of liberal democracy in their own interests, can use energy as an effective tool for destroying democratic and market-oriented societies. Russia has perfected its means of influence and a toolkit for the practical implementation of its interests on the EU energy market, utilizing energy to the fullest extent to achieve its foreign policy goals. Involving the establishments of EU countries in energy cooperation projects with the Russian Federation turned out to be the most efficient method. The willingness to lobby for Russia's interests has been stimulated, in particular, by ensuring special terms of supply contracts, access for companies from certain countries to the extraction of energy resources in Russia, and the employment of officials from certain countries in Russian energy companies.

The exploitation of energy as a weapon effectively neutralizes the ability of liberal democracies to oppose the aggressive behavior of authoritarian energy suppliers. Moreover, individual countries become informal allies of authoritarian leaders under certain conditions.

The author argues that certain indicators can be used to formalize the assessment of the level of influence of energy resource suppliers on the ability of the leaders of consumer countries to resist pressure. This formalization makes it possible to reasonably approach the assessment of the level of the country's energy security and overall national security based on the influence of external threats, especially dependence on an external supplier.

The study focuses on NATO’s nuclear policy in the face of Russia’s aggressive policy and threats from the Kremlin.

The author examines the history of the nuclear policy of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization since the founding of NATO, as well as key aspects of the implementation of NATO’s nuclear deterrence policy.

Part of the study focuses on the geostrategic aspects of NATO’s nuclear triad and covers the three components of the nuclear triad: strategic bombers, intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), and submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs). It also examines specific aspects of the use of nuclear systems by the three main nuclear powers of NATO, namely the USA, the UK, and France, and the main geopolitical rivals of the Alliance, specifically the Russian Federation, taking into account Russian aggression against Ukraine, and the People’s Republic of China.
HELSINKI REVISITED: EUROPE’S SECURITY DEFICIT
Authors: Hamans Camiel , Wiersma Jan Marinus
Published: November 2022

This paper discusses the failures of the European security agenda against Putin’s Russia. It describes how after WWII the world believed in and worked on multilateral cooperation and consultation and how Europe in particular was therefore convinced that peace and security policies should be conducted with soft powers. The remainder of the article then proposes the two pillars on which a new security agenda should be based: multilateralism combined with a deterrent defense. The contribution ends with an epilogue explaining how Russian restitution payments to Ukraine can be made possible.

An Evaluation of Order Fulfillment Information System for Small Medium Business
Authors: Araujo Stdipto , Asha Andersen
Published: November 2022

Developments in measurement for order processing and customer service are presently under development. In
order to guide Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) from their current state of capabilities to their ideal future
state, encouraging measurements for order processing and customer service is essential. Customer demand initiates the
supply chain and fulfilling that need in a timely and accurate manner is the first step in delivering excellent service to
customers. Today, the software industry uses a method known as the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) to plan,
create, and test new software. In this paper, the order fulfilment process and well as the Order Fulfillment Information
System (OFIS) development has been discussed and postulated to need a data source to guide future iterations. Therefore,
firms who have a need for such information systems have been polled to collect data about their business operations as a
source of data for development. In this paper, the Order Fulfillment Information System (OFIS) is discussed and designed
using Unified Modeling Language (UML) based on the previously specified business processes.
Theoretical Framework of Supply Chain Uncertainties
Authors: Rouma Jaime Georges
Published: November 2022

The increasing complexity of multinational supply networks has generated a new issue (supply chain
uncertainty) for today's managers. This article surveys the existing literature on the topic of supply chain uncertainty and
establishes the theoretical framework for future study in this area (in addition to supply chain risk). This literature study
identifies fourteen potential causes of uncertainty, including both well-studied phenomena like the bullwhip effect and less
well-known ones like parallel interaction. Ten solutions try to eliminate the core source of uncertainty, while eleven others
aim to adapt to the existence of these unknowns in order to reduce their effects on manufacturing performance. The theory
of manufacturing strategy and core concept of contingency and alignment establish a foundation of the supply chain
uncertainty framework that is thus establishment using the research findings. More future empirical study is required to
discover which uncertainty exists in distinct industrial settings, the effect of suitable sources and management strategies
on productivity, and the intricate interaction between management techniques and diverse uncertainty sources.

AN INVESTIGATION FOR ANTIMICROBIAL POTENCY OF SOME COMMONLY USED ANTIBIOTICS (CAPSULE) MANUFACTURED BY VARIOUS PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES IN BANGLADESH
Authors: Siddiqui N.I. , Shahjahan M.
Published: November 2022

Antibiotics are indispensable drugs for the treatment of infectious diseases. For proper treatment, antibiotics as well as all drugs should have a standard level of purity. But in our country some pharmaceutical companies are producing impure and substandard antibiotics as have been reported in s everal newspapers. Consumption of these antibiotics may lead to the development of serious complexities. For this reason, we took the initiative to investigate the biopotency of three widely used antibiotics- ampicillin trihydrate, amoxycillin trihydrate and oxytetracycline hydrochloride. Antimicrobial potency of the antibiotics was determined by disc diffusion method (Beur et al ., 1993) in nutrient agar and also by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) (Annon, 1965). It is evident from the study that some of the pharmaceutical companies are producing substandard antibiotics and physicians and consumers should be careful about the antibiotics.

Praxilla'sAdonisand the Female Voice: An Erotic “Reverse Priamel” in Sappho's Shadow and Nossis's Light
Authors: Panagiotopoulou Maria
Published: November 2022

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that the Adonis-fragment of Praxilla can be understood as an inverse priamel with allusions to Sappho and later echoes in Nossis. More specifically, a fragment composed by Praxilla is attached to a famous Sapphic poem, through the use of the priamel and the question of “what is the most beautiful.” The theme of both fragments is similar: love is a superior value. Praxilla's poetry emphasizes the importance of both spiritual and carnal erotic feelings. Furthermore, Nossis's connection to Praxilla's poem underscores the sensuality of its choices of diction. This exploration of the female poetic voice articulates the aesthetic views of women artists and their expression of feelings of sexual oppression in the context of ancient patriarchy in three different periods of antiquity.
The Hero's Narrative in Ovid'sHeroides9 and 13
Authors: Leventi Maria
Published: November 2022

Some letters in Ovid's Heroides include stories which the heroines imagine their lovers narrating. Thus, in some letters Ovid has constructed both a heroine's and a hero's narrative (the latter probably mediated by the former). This paper argues that there are similarities in the narrative strategies of the stories that Ovid attributes to the heroine and the hero in Heroides 9 (Deianira and Hercules) and 13 (Laodamia and Protesilaus), and then analyzes the interpretative possibilities that arise from this type of narrative assimilation. Through the use of intertextuality and relative mythological chronology, it also explores whether Ovid's heroines model their husbands after themselves as narrators, or whether their narratives are influenced by those of the heroes instead.

Bioinformatic Study Of The Effect Of Corn Hair (Zea Mays) On The Reduction Of Cholesterol Levels In The Blood
Authors: Ali Zeeshan , Radia Sagita Pramesti  , Dwicha Asda Viola
Published: November 2022

Corn hair (Zea mays L.) is an extension of the stigma of the female flower of the maize plant. So far, the use of corn hair, which is a waste from corn cultivation, is limited as a medicine for urinating and lowering blood pressure. The chemical composition of corn hair has the potential to be used to reduce cholesterol levels in the blood because of the presence of beta-sitosterol in it. Based on research it is known that giving corn hair decoction (Zea mays) has a very significant effect on reducing levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL cholesterol and increasing levels of HDL cholesterol. High levels of HDL cholesterol in the blood (about 40 mg/dl or more) are good for health. Conversely, a high LDL level (100 mg/dl or more) is a bad sign. The buildup of LDL on the walls of blood vessels can cause hardening of the walls of blood vessels which can cause hardening of the walls of the arteries (atherosclerosis) and block blood flow which can be fatal because it triggers disease. coronary heart disease and stroke.

Central line training models: limitations and modifications
Authors: Williams Jacob , Greig Paul , Anandanadesan Rathai , Bloomfield Sophie , Varun Sudunagunta
Published: November 2022

Training in simulated environments allows clinicians to practise procedures and make mistakes without risk to patients. It is important training models offer sufficient fidelity, allowing the trainee to face the same difficulties and hazards that they would in clinical practice. This is particularly true of technical skills training using part-task trainers. Current designs of central-venous cannulation simulators may not fully meet this need. Not all training models allow for the guidewire in the Seldinger technique to be over-inserted. This means guidewire loss cannot be demonstrated in many simulators, which undermines recognition of this important complication, one of the preventable and significant hazards of the procedure [1]. Our simulation centre uses Blue Phantom’s Gen II Central Line Ultrasound Training Model. This simulator replicates the upper torso and neck, with a right internal jugular vein and carotid artery that can be cannulated. The simulated vessels terminate in clear tubes that run outside of the manikin’s torso and contain a reservoir of fluid. Full insertion of the line is blocked due to the diameter of the reservoir tubing being too small to accommodate the J-tip of the guidewire.

In order to permit over-insertion of the guidewire, the tubing connected to the internal jugular vein has to be replaced with one of a larger diameter, sufficient to allow passage of the guidewire’s J-tip. We developed a 3D printed adaptor which allows smooth passage of the wire into the larger-diameter tubing. The connection between the tube and adaptor is then made water-tight with silicone sealant. The modifications were designed using SolidWorks, Dassault Systèmes, and printed using VeroWhitePlus™ on a Object500 Connex1™ by Stratasys. Since the reservoir tubing can now accommodate guidewire retention, a further modification was required to allow for retrieval of the wire at the end of the simulation. We have achieved this by including access to the tubing secured by a screw cap.

With the modifications made (

Modified central line insertion model with over-inserted guidewire.

The trainee cannot now rely on the manikin preventing them from making this potentially serious mistake, so training now more accurately replicates the real-life experience. This allows for a richer training experience and a more valuable post-simulation learning conversation.

A unified approach to faculty development
Authors: Howie Lyz , Paton Catie
Published: November 2022

Due to the effect of the global pandemic and rising student cohort numbers, simulated practice placements are being implemented into nursing curricula. To deliver simulation-based education (SBE) within the Higher Education Institutions (HEI) staff must be adequately prepared. For SBE to be effective, thoughtful consideration to appropriate staff training is important [1]. A structured unified approach is more beneficial as it sets the same aspirations and contributes to a shared philosophy [2]. This unified approach meant both Health Board and HEI staff were being trained to delivery simulation in the same way, which was new for this HEI. Creating a faculty for simulation emulates a community of practice and also comprises essential networking with other simulationists [2]. It helps support Benner’s novice to expert theory as staff start of as novices and subsequently develop emulating that robust educational training for SBE faculty development is essential [3]. Importantly, it addresses quality assurance and governance frameworks in meeting the requirement of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation Learning (INACSL) [3], Association for Simulated Practice in Healthcare (ASPiH), and Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) standards. The overall aim of this innovation was to implement a unified approach to faculty development training for academic staff within an HEI.

Three training sessions were delivered in January and February 2022. HEI staff attended a one-day session. Health Board Simulation Educators facilitated the sessions for the HEI Academic Staff.

Using a unified approach to this faculty development had a positive outcome in supporting HEI staff to be upskilled in the delivery of SBE. It has also resulted in the subsequent development and implementation of a 2-day training course comprising the following sessions: Session 1 – Introduction to clinical skills and simulation and writing learning outcomes and scenarios; Session 2: Technology supporting simulation; Session 3: Preparation, briefing, and debriefing; Session 4: Running an immersive simulation session. This in-house training programme will continue to be delivered to HEI staff undertaking SBE and evaluated.

Using a unified approach enhances the quality and parity of the delivery of SBE within the HEI. A unified approach to faculty development within the HEI will continue to be delivered to upskill staff in SBE. Collaboration with clinical partners in faculty development is crucial in the delivery of SBE to ensure a unified evidence-based approach.

Speech and language therapy simulation: exploring safety learning
Authors: Williams Emma , Murphy Geraldine , Toft Lisa
Published: November 2022

Continued collaboration between Senior Speech and Language Therapists (SLT) and the Simulation Centre at an acute hospital, led to further research into safety learning themes identifying issues with basic dysphagia care on the wards despite ongoing lecture-based training. This was interpreted as training being focussed on one way of learning for medical staff and not providing an equitable training service for those with differentiated learning needs [1]. This led to the SLT team creating a training programme titled ‘dysphagia friendly wards’. As part of this, the SLT and Simulation Centre developed a simulation programme which was a hybrid of open theatre forum style and simulation using a bell to increase interaction within the scenarios. We created a realistic ward environment increasing the validity of the scenario with groups of up to four healthcare care assistants and nursing staff from stroke wards.

Three scenarios were designed around the safety learning themes identified in the incident reports such as poor mouth care, incorrect diet textures, and choking hazards which were noted on the ward by the SLT team. This created a realistic and interactive session using a live actor to demonstrate different swallowing difficulties, poor oral hygiene, and the importance of dysphagia management. The live actors are professionally trained and members of the simulation education team.

Currently the programme is ongoing and we are due to finish our first ward by the end of March 2023 with the hope of rolling this out hospital-wide. Each ward is estimated to take 2 months to complete. Feedback during and after the sessions has been positive and participants have engaged by asking thoughtful questions and putting information into practice on the wards. Communication issues highlighted our diverse workforce and patients which was found in real time during the simulation. Supporting evidence has been written and available for presentation.

Very few SLT teams have used simulation training within their practice and the opportunity to create a programme that is proactive and differentiated for different learners is fantastic, and creates a work force that feels valued alongside giving gold standard care to patients with both communication and dysphagia.

Virtual reality wraparound learning modules: an innovative approach to self-debriefing to augment learner experience
Authors: Agarwal Lekha , Liu Charleen , Winnett Georgia
Published: November 2022

Virtual Reality (VR) simulation has opened to a lot of trainees an ability to experience various clinical scenarios in a virtual space at a time and place that suits them [1]. It also gives an opportunity for deliberate practice as one can repeat the scenario as many times as one likes till proficiency is reached. Research over the years has shown most of the learning occurs during the debriefing [2] and the VR scenario gives a unique opportunity for self-debriefing or peer-peer debriefing in small groups [3]. However, in the current VR scenarios available to trainees, there is no provision of any link at the end of the scenario to access current best practice guidelines on the topic/scenario which the learner could use as part of their self-debriefing. The project aims to create wraparound learning module around the Virtual Reality clinical scenario to include a patient journey through the hospital, current guidelines, and teaching videos so that learners could conceptualize and consolidate their learning from the VR experience

VR scenarios available to Foundation doctors were chosen and a review of the topic and related standard best practice guidelines were reviewed on NICE, BTS, and similar resources. We also searched for real patient stories and easy to access procedural videos related to the topic and incorporated them on the module. Wraparound learning modules were created using a blended learning approach on Bridge online platform on topics like pneumothorax and infective exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. More modules are being created for the benefit of the Foundation doctors across East of England. Throughout the module reflection is encouraged and the topic is aligned to the Foundation curriculum and reviewed for quality assurance. A Likert scale survey would be sent out to the trainees who have completed the modules to assess the increase in their confidence in managing a clinical case after finishing the wraparound module.

The results of the pre-course and post-course levels of knowledge, skills and confidence are being analysed.

Wraparound learning modules could potentially improve learners’ experience of the VR scenario and improve learning and confidence in the clinical setting.

ODP students peer to peer simulation-based education
Authors: Wilford Amanda , Brown Nicholas
Published: November 2022

Second-year Operating Department Practitioner (ODP) students in an English University need to undertake a teaching activity lasting 10 minutes on any topic not necessarily health related as part of their undergraduate curriculum as a formative assessment. ODPs practise in high acuity settings including theatre and intensive care, and are usually key members of a hospital’s resuscitation team. Teaching strategies for resilience is required when working in changing environments. To combine these two elements, an alternative approach was offered to replace the teaching activity. Student ODPs were offered how to create and lead a simulation activity based on ODP practice in lieu of the 10-minute activity as part of a pilot project. The TALK [2] tool was chosen as the mode of debriefing and focuses on improving interprofessional communication and the recognition of behaviours and strategies that are successful and should be adopted.

Twenty-eight students volunteered to undertake the pilot. The students supported by a simulation and ODP lecturer over a day were introduced to experiential learning, and simulation education approaches including design, facilitation [1], and debriefing. In pairs, the students created designs and were taught to use the Talk Framework [2].

The students completed an online evaluation tool in relation to their experience as educators. The students reported that they felt more confident with the difference between teaching and facilitating. The students felt they understood the stages of writing for education and enjoyed the session on learning outcomes. The students stated that teaching using simulation was more useful than randomly teaching any skill as this links to their practice. Through a discussion at the end of the sessions, the students felt that in practice they saw aspects of patient care that they do not understand or were unable to seek clarification about, and TALK [2] would help. The students also felt that the TALK [2] tool should be introduced in year one.

From the online evaluation and subsequent discussions, the project team has met with the Course Director and discussions are underway to review the current assessments for teaching. The students’ feedback about the TALK [2] tool being used as a strategy to learn how to speak to practice supervisors or other members of the healthcare team has brought about an immediate change. The tool will be used across all first-year ODP students from September 2022 with further research activities.

Using simulation for practice education: attitudes and experiences of allied health professional and nursing educators
Authors: Cook Teresa
Published: November 2022

Simulation is increasingly being used in allied health professional and nursing education. There is evidence that student satisfaction with simulation is high, but limited research regarding educators’ attitudes and no existing review of this [1]. Placement capacity is an increasing issue and simulation could be used to address this, but adoption of this involves acceptance by educators and other stakeholders [2]. Therefore, the aim of this literature review was to explore the attitudes and experiences of allied health professional and nursing educators regarding the use of simulation in relation to practice education with the objectives of making recommendations for future practice and identifying areas for future research.

A qualitative systematic review was completed. Scopus, CINAHL, Medline, and AMED databases were searched in March 2022 using relevant search terms and subject headings where available. Inclusion/exclusion criteria were applied to identify appropriate peer-reviewed studies. The quality of articles was appraised using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme qualitative studies checklist and data extracted using a table. NVivo 1.5 software was used to support the analysis of data using a simplified approach to thematic analysis to inform the discussion of the results [3].

Five studies were included from a variety of professions and countries (

Overall attitudes towards simulation and practice education were found to be positive. Benefits and risks from educators’ points of view were identified and can be used to inform practice. Areas for future study were identified for example exploring these concepts within the UK and other health professions.
