Teamwork as Antidotes in Efficient Health Care Delivery: Challenges and Prospect of Its Implementation in Health Facilities
Authors: Dike Isaruk Ikpoko-ore-ebirien
Published: July 2024

A variety of actors, including both providers and recipients, are involved in the delivery of health care services. In particular, teams from many health and related fields work together to guarantee patient happiness and quality. Nonetheless, there is a dearth of research on teamwork and difficulties in healthcare settings, and most patients frequently lament about subpar service delivery and the difficulties they have receiving care from physicians in most medical facilities. Thus, using systematic reviews of relevant literature, this research evaluated teamwork as an antidote to efficient health care delivery: challenges as well as possibilities of its application in health facilities. According to the report, effective teamwork increases satisfaction, creativity, productivity, and engagement. Working as a team improves motivation, lowers stress, promotes learning, stimulates creativity, and encourages taking risks. Open communication and mutual support contribute to increased job satisfaction, enhancing retention rates. The paper suggests that training and retraining of employees, the provision of enabling policies and environments, funding, and leadership structure should be targeted towards quality care and stakeholder involvement in ensuring satisfactory service delivery.

The cross-disciplinary adoption of RSM is highlighted, emphasizing its relevance across diverse fields. Modern developments and innovations in RSM are examined, including advancements in modeling techniques and optimization algorithms. The limitations of RSM, such as assumptions of polynomial models and sensitivity to initial experimental design, are acknowledged, with strategies proposed for overcoming these challenges. Overall, this abstract provides a comprehensive overview of the historical trajectory, industrial significance, and contemporary advancements of RSM, offering insights into its application and potential for future research.
From a group of people to a well-functioning team: A transformative leadership model in healthcare
Authors: Chivaka Richard
Published: July 2024

This topic deals with the process of transforming a group of people (healthcare workers) into a well-functioning team through a transformative leadership model. One of the biggest challenges in health systems strengthening is that healthcare workers function in silos, as defined by their individual professional disciplines. This compromises service delivery due to poor service integration, duplication of effort, weak referrals, and a toxic work environment. This chapter will focus on the journey that we embark on to implement a transformative leadership model to develop effective and efficient multidisciplinary teams among healthcare workers that in turn drive better and sustainable health outcomes.

Alerte Covid-19: an electronic platform for receipt and investigation of Covid-19 alerts in Niger
Authors: Nsaibirni R , Assao B , Roberts N
Published: July 2024

INTRODUCTION
In early 2020, Niger’s Ministry of Health (MoH) launched a system for collecting and investigating Covid-19 alerts. This system was paper based and used unstructured data sharing via text messages, hence did not allow for rapid and exhaustive data collection or effective investigation of alerts. Consequently, MSF teams were unable to accurately assess Covid-19 epidemiology in Niger, affecting decision-making about what support to offer and where. Covid-19 patients were not being diagnosed until in the late stages of disease, or would never be diagnosed at all. Hence, MSF teams feared care would not be effective. Epicentre and the MSF Foundation collaborated with Medic, a not-for-profit organisation designing open- source digital tools for healthcare, to develop an electronic tool to improve receipt and investigation of Covid-19 alerts in Niger. We aimed to collect structured data, to increase the number of alerts investigated, and to improve the timeliness and completeness of investigations. This would facilitate earlier diagnosis of symptomatic disease, earlier orientation of patients towards care, and improve accurate and timely epidemiological reporting.

METHODS
The digital platform, Alerte Covid-19, replaced the existing paper-based system. Patients and health workers across Niger were instructed to phone a national MoH hotline to report suspected cases. Each alert was registered on the digital platform; this then guides users to determine if investigation is necessary, and allocates alerts to a regional alert centre. Investigation teams follow up alerts via patient testing, direct patients towards relevant care, and report Covid-19 test results and the outcome of positive cases in the digital platform. The platform links to dashboards to provide an overview of alerts and outcomes at regional and national levels.

ETHICS
This description/evaluation of an innovation project did not involve human participants or their data; the MSF Ethics Framework for Innovation was used to help identify and mitigate potential harms.

RESULTS
The hotline service handles up to 6,000 calls per day, 5% of which are Covid-19 related and most require investigation. From May 2020 to November 2021, 11,295 Covid19-related alerts were received, of which 10,100 were investigated and 9,386 tested. Timeliness was improved from several days to a few hours and data was more structured and complete.

CONCLUSION
Implementation of Alerte Covid-19 is ongoing. Success of the project to date has triggered further work to develop a digital platform to improve the processing of alerts for other epidemic-prone diseases in Niger. It is hoped this will enable earlier and more effective epidemic responses by MoH and MSF teams. The use of such digital tools is feasible, low-cost, and can impact on epidemic surveillance in low-income settings.

USING LEARNING ABILITIES OF COMPUTATION IN COUNTING
Authors: Jain Trang , Jain Ankur , Saxena Rakhi
Published: July 2024

In this paper, we introduce a new notion of local or neighborhood solutions and establish a couple of approximation results for local existence and uniqueness of the solution of an IVP of nonlinear higher order ordinary hybrid differential equations by using the Dhage monotone iteration method based on the recent hybrid fixed point theorems of Dhage (2023). An approximation result for Ulam-Hyers stability of the local solution of the considered hybrid differential equation is also established. Our main abstract results of this paper are also illustrated with a couple of numerical examples. Finally, we compare our existence and uniqueness results with those existing in the literature via other operator theoretic methods from nonlinear functional analysis. We claim that the method and the results of this paper are new to the literature.

Hypertension, characterized by persistently elevated blood pressure, poses severe risks, such as heart damage, artery hardening, and reduced blood and oxygen flow to the heart, which can also lead to kidney damage and stroke. Antihypertensive therapy for pregnant women differs from that for nonpregnant women because most antihypertensive medications used for nonpregnant hypertensive women are contraindicated for pregnant hypertensive patients. This study aimed to compare therapeutic regimens for treating hypertension between pregnant and nonpregnant women in various healthcare facilities. This cross-sectional study was conducted at several tertiary care hospitals in Lahore, Pakistan, recruiting 500 pregnant or nonpregnant female patients aged 18-55 years with hypertension. The data were collected through structured interviews and medical records reviews. Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests were used to analyze the data, with significance set at p < 0.05. A significant difference in area of residence was observed, with 83.2% of nonpregnant women residing in urban areas compared to 52.4% of pregnant women residing in urban areas. A systolic blood pressure between 120 and 139 mmHg was observed in 82.8% of pregnant women, compared to 51.2% of nonpregnant women (p < 0.001). Diastolic blood pressure between 80-99 mmHg was observed in 84.4% of pregnant women and 76.8% of nonpregnant women (p < 0.001). CVDs were more prevalent among nonpregnant women (38.8%), while anemia was more common in pregnant women (25.6%). Pregnant women were primarily prescribed methyldopa (58%), labetalol (56%), and amlodipine (40.4%), whereas nonpregnant women were more frequently prescribed valsartan (39.2%), metoprolol (28.8%), nebivolol (28%), and a combination of furosemide and spironolactone (24%). This study highlighted significant differences in comorbid conditions and antihypertensive treatment regimens between pregnant and nonpregnant women, emphasizing the need for tailored hypertension management approaches. Moreover, safer antihypertensive agents were prescribed to both groups, considering the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) drug categories and the observed comorbid conditions.
Heat resistance of Lactobacillus brevis, Pediococcus acidilactici and Enterococcus faecium in buffer (pH 4), alcoholic and alcohol-free beer
Authors: Rachon Grzegorz , Raleigh Christopher , Rothera Harry
Published: July 2024

Why was the work done: To measure the heat resistance of three vegetative bacteria in buffer (pH 4), alcoholic and alcohol-free beer. To verify that Pediococcus acidilactici ATCC 8042 and Lactobacillus brevis BSO 566 are as heat resistant as previously reported and to establish if Enterococcus faecium NRRL B-2354 could have application in validation studies for the pasteurisation of beer.
How was the work done: : The heat resistance of L. brevis, P. acidilactici and E. faecium in buffer, alcoholic and alcohol-free beer was determined using two approaches  - capillary test tubes and flask method.
What are the main findings: E. faecium was the most heat resistant microorganism in all three liquids. D values were significantly greater, and z-values were similar or significantly greater than the corresponding values of L. brevis and P. acidilactici.
Why is the work important: E. faecium is used in the food industry as a pathogenic surrogate for the validation of thermal and non-thermal processes.  The work reported here suggests that E. faecium can also be used for the validation of pasteurisation of beer. Its high z-value suggests that at higher pasteurisation temperatures (>65°C) it may be more resistant than yeast ascospores and could therefore be used as an indicator for flash pasteurisation.

KARAKTERISTIK UNSUR TANAH JARANG (LTJ) LANTANUM DAN CERIUM PADA LAPUKAN GRANIT DI DAERAH PARMONANGAN
Authors: Musyaffa Muhammad Ayyasy , Patonah Aton , Faisal Reza Mochammad
Published: July 2024

Kebutuhan akan logam tanah jarang (LTJ) sebagai kelompok mineral kritis menunjukkan adanya peningkatan signifikan. Lantanum (La) dan Cerium (Ce) merupakan unsur logam tanah jarang yang memiliki kegunaan dalam berbagai teknologi modern. Unsur tanah jarang seperti La dan Ce terkandung dalam mineral pembawa unsur tanah jarang dan dapat ditemukan dalam endapan hasil lapukan granitoid. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi karakteristik unsur La dan Ce yang terkandung pada endapan adsorpsi ion hasil pelapukan batuan granit dan kaitannya dengan komposisi elemen serta unsur kimia lainnya. Pada penelitian ini, sampel lapukan batuan beku asam yang didapatkan dari hasil pengeboran di Kecamatan Parmonangan, Kabupaten Tapanuli Utara, Sumatera Utara untuk diidentifikasi mineral pembawa unsur La dan Ce, zona pengkayaan, dan tipe endapan unsur tanah jarangnya. Hasil penyelidikan menunjukkan bahwa La terkayakan pada zona akumulasi unsur tanah jarang pada model endapan adsorpsi ion, sedangkan Ce terkayakan pada zona pencucian. Hal tersebut disebabkan oleh pergerakan unsur La pada lapukan yang kemudian diikat oleh mineral ubahan seperti kaolinit. Sementara itu, unsur Ce memiliki nilai ion berbeda sehingga mobilitasnya rendah akibat proses oksidasi di zona pencucian unsur tanah jarang.

Caratheodory periodic perturbations of degenerate systems
Authors: Calamai Alessandro , Spadini Marco
Published: July 2024

We study the structure of the set of harmonic solutions to T-periodically  perturbed coupled differential equations on differentiable manifolds, where the  perturbation is allowed to be of Caratheodory-type regularity.  Employing degree-theoretic methods, we prove the existence of a noncompact connected  set of nontrivial T-periodic solutions that, in a sense, emanates from the set of zeros of the unperturbed vector field. The latter is assumed to be ''degenerate'': Meaning that, contrary to the usual assumptions on the leading vector field,  it is not required to be either trivial nor to have a compact set of zeros.  In fact, known results in the ``nondegenerate case can be recovered from our ones.  We also provide some illustrating examples of Lienard- and \(\phi\)-Laplacian-type  perturbed equations.

The complications of long time treatment of insulin therapy in type-2 diabetes patients: A Review
Authors: Rahman Md. Ashiqur , Islam Sadia
Published: July 2024

Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood sugar levels. It can also mean long-term problems with the metabolism of carbohydrates caused by insulin deficiency, which leads to hyperglycemia and glycosuria. Weight gain is a common side effect of insulin therapy and other oral antidiabetic medications for diabetic patients, which can hinder their ability to meet strict glycemic targets and potentially reduce treatment success. Insulin-related weight gain is attributed to anabolic effects, appetite increases, and reduced glycosuria. Insulin therapy has been linked to increased cardiovascular risk and mortality in type 2 diabetes patients, as well as inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension, dyslipidemia, heart failure, and arrhythmias. Large-scale evaluations suggest that insulin therapy has a poorer short- and long-term safety profile than other anti-T2D therapies. To treat diabetes, a variety of insulin formulations are available, each acting at a distinct pace. Whether they are long-acting, intermediate-acting, or rapid-acting, there are similar adverse effects to be mindful of. Weight gain, injection site responses, and hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) are common side effects of insulin. Lipodystrophy, or improper fat distribution, and limb edema are uncommon adverse effects of insulin. When it comes to insulin introduction, titration, and follow-up treatment, doctors can manage patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus more effectively by employing simple algorithms. Primary care doctors and other medical professionals can manage patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus more easily by using streamlined insulin introduction and titration protocols.

The article discusses the administrative offense as the result of the
manifestation of illegal behavior and the main problems of its perception.
In view of the above, the legal doctrine and the legal acts of different
countries related to the content of the study, as well as the judicial practice of
their application are the subject of the study within the framework of this
research.
The purpose of this article is to establish, on the basis of legal research, unified
judgments in the field of administrative responsibility about the institution of
the presumption of innocence, the concept of the administrative offense, the
presumption of legality of the administrative act, the chain connection
between the institutions of administrative offense and administrative
responsibility, as well as on the basis of theoretical and practical experience to
fix the most effective and characteristic norms in the current legislative field
of the Republic of Armenia.
The article considers issues that have been reflected to a greater or lesser
extent in the works of various authors, but have not been the subject of a
separate comprehensive scientific discussion and legal analysis regarding the
the problems facing the institution that constitutes the content of the topic,
which was done in this paper.
This work is a systematic and spatial research of the existing regulations in the
field of administrative offense, through which the institution of
administrative offense, its correlation with crime, the boundary of the
relationship between crime and misdemeanor, administrative responsibility as
a consequence of an administrative offense and their chain connection, the
presumption of the legality of an administrative act as a condition for the
application of administrative responsibility for a continuing offense are
examined in more detail and fully.
Legaculturation: Turning Laws into a Culture
Authors: Ghaleb Belal Dahiam Saif
Published: July 2024

The interaction between law and culture is fundamental to the functioning of any society. While laws are formal rules enforced by state institutions, culture encompasses the shared values, beliefs, and practices of a society.  In order to eliminate problems such as the conflict between law and culture, the pressure of law on culture, the society's behavior against the law, and similar problems, law must be adapted to the culture and existing laws must be made a culture of the society. This article explores the process of transforming legal norms into cultural ones, emphasizing the mechanisms through which laws are internalized and become an integral part of social behavior. By examining historical precedents, theoretical frameworks, and contemporary examples, the article demonstrates how legal norms can shape and be shaped by cultural norms, transcending their formal boundaries. More significantly, it illustrates how the state's promulgation, enforcement, and potential future enactment of laws can be rendered more palatable, acceptable, and culturally integrated to both the state and society. The article posits that as society embraces laws as part of its culture, not only will the state's expenditure on ensuring security decrease, but societal trust will also increase, reducing conflicts and insecurities in the application of laws. The article also, introduces the concept of Legaculturation and emphasizes the importance of turning (transforming) laws into a culture.  This comprehensive research provides a professional and detailed examination of the concept of Legaculturation by combining information from existing literature. Ultimately, the article assumes that society will thrive in welfare underpinned by a harmonious blend of legal and cultural norms.

“真理的彼岸世界消逝以后，历史的任务就是确立此岸世界的真理”是马克思《<黑格尔法哲学批判>导言》（以下简称《导言》）中的重要论断，而“此岸”与“彼岸”间需要“思想的闪电”击中“人民的园地”，因为只有“理论一经掌握群众”新的“物质力量”才能发挥作用。如果要从思想政治教育的角度去分析《导言》，不难发现这是一篇闪耀着无产阶级思想政治教育光辉的经典作品。尝试从《导言》的写作背景和理论渊源出发，通过对核心内涵和论证逻辑的再解读，明晰《导言》蕴含的思想政治教育要素，能够为新时代思想政治教育学发展提供原理支撑。

Published: July 2024

En San Pablo Huitzo Oaxaca, la producción ovina constituye una de las actividades productivas prioritarias de la comunidad a nivel familiar. Sin embargo, el bajo peso de los ovinos debido a la falta de suplementos alimenticios adecuados, escaso conocimiento técnico y los limitados apoyos económicos a los productores, mantienen a la comunidad sin posibilidades de mejorar sus condiciones de vida. El objetivo fue analizar los factores que permitieron desarrollar una organización social de forma exitosa, basada en la producción de ovinos en huertos familiares bajo un sistema de colaboración equitativa. La metodología fue la investigación cualitativa, análisis documental, recorridos y escuelas de campo. La conformación de grupos comunitarios con principios de solidaridad social y trabajo colectivo fueron los factores clave para incentivar el desarrollo de una organización social y atender los principales problemas de forma coordinada. La mejora en el sistema de producción incrementó tamaño y peso en los ovinos, apoyando la economía familiar al mejorar los ingresos económicos. Se concluye que el trabajo grupal en huertos familiares promovió la unión social con relaciones solidarias para lograr beneficios que impactan directamente en la mejora de ingresos y desarrollo.

Las granjas acuícolas sostenibles consideran aspectos sociales, económicas y ambientales para que la producción de tilapia sea eficiente y rentable. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar el grado de tecnificación de las granjas acuícolas en los Valles Centrales de Oaxaca. Se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a productores y visitas programadas a las granjas de tilapia. Se encontró que la viabilidad del cultivo de tilapia en la región de los Valles Centrales es favorecida por el clima, calidad del agua, resistencia del organismo, el cuidado y alimentación; así como, por los proyectos de desarrollo y recursos gubernamentales. Sin embargo, para seguir produciendo y/o aumentar la producción de tilapia, se requieren medidas resolutivas para fomentar prácticas que ayuden a disminuir la cantidad de uso del agua, energía eléctrica y alimento comercial. Se concluye que es necesario la formulación y aplicación de proyectos de desarrollo tecnológico e investigación que ayuden a los productores acuícolas de Oaxaca a implementar técnicas sostenibles para que continúen produciendo tilapia conservando los recursos naturales disponibles.

Background: Pulmonary hypertensive crisis (PHC) is a serious life-threatening complication in children with congenital heart disease (CHD) after surgery, with acute onset and high mortality. However, there is still no effective means to deal with this complication. Therefore, our department developed the left atrium and right ventricle duct bridging technique to treat children with PHC, and compare its effects with conventional methods of treatment to determine the best solution for dealing with this complication. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 41 children with CHD surgery and postoperative PHC in our hospital from January 2015 to December 2022 was performed. According to the rescue method, the group with conventional therapy combined with left atrium to right ventricle duct bridging treatment vs. simple conventional therapy were defined as group A and group B respectively, with 13 cases and 28 cases in each group. The success rate of rescue, the complication rate, the length of intensive care unit stay, the delayed chest closure duration, the duration of PHC, the ratio of pulmonary circulation/systemic circulation pressure, the oxygenation index and the cardiac index at 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h and 6 h after rescue were compared between the two groups. Results: There was a higher success rate of rescue (84.62% vs. 68.86%; p > 0.05), lower complication rate (15.38% vs. 21.43%; p > 0.05), shorter duration of PHC (6.77 ± 2.13 min vs. 13.07 ± 4.05 min; p = 0.000), shorter duration of delayed sternal closure (32.23 ± 5.46 h vs. 38.14 ± 8.61 h; p = 0.029) and shorter length of ICU stay (81.69 ± 8.31 h vs. 93.57 ± 16.84 h; p = 0.021) in group A; After the rescue, the pulmonary artery pressure and cardiopulmonary function recovery rate in group A were faster than those in group B. Conclusions: In conclusion, left atrial to right ventricular duct bridging therapy is more effective in the treatment of PHC after surgery for CHD.
