Authors: Machado Alba Jorge
Published: May 2022

Introduction: The pharmacological treatment of urinary incontinence (UI) may involve bladder antimuscarinics, which can generate risks in the elderly. In women, systemic estrogens and peripheral α-adrenergic antagonists are considered potentially inappropriate prescriptions. Objective: To determine the treatment patterns of a group of patients with UI and possible potentially inappropriate prescriptions. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study that identified prescription patterns of medications for outpatient use in patients with UI between December 2020 and November 2021 based on a population database of members of the Colombian Health System. Sociodemographic and pharmacological variables were considered. Results: A total of 9855 patients with UI were identified, with a median age of 72 years, and 74.6% were women. Unspecified UI was the most frequent form (83.2%), followed by specified UI (7.9%), stress UI (6.7%), and UI associated with an overactive bladder (2.2%). A total of 37.2% received pharmacological treatment, mainly with bladder antimuscarinics (22.6%), mirabegron (15.6%), and topical estrogens (7.9%). Pharmacological management predominated in UI associated with overactive bladder, in women and in patients between 50 and 79 years of age. Of the patients who received bladder antimuscarinics, 54.5% were 65 years old or older, and 21.5% also had benign prostatic hyperplasia, sicca syndrome, glaucoma, constipation, or dementia. A total of 2.0% of women had been prescribed systemic estrogens, and 1.7% had been prescribed peripheral α-adrenergic antagonists. Conclusions:Differences in the prescriptions were found according to the type of UI, sex and age group. Potentially inappropriate or risky prescriptions were common.

Authors: Arhipova Olga , Kokina Irēna
Published: May 2022

Career growth or career planning is a process that a person can go through to improve their professional status. It is the process of making decisions for long term learning, to align personal needs of physical or psychological fulfilment with career advancement opportunities. In the study, the relevance of self-development of career and professional growth of managers was determined by the need to organize events to support career growth. In order for the process of professional development of managers to be of high quality, a methodology is being developed based on the characteristic and relevant knowledge of adult education. Central to this process is proper planning, timing and flow between learning new information, practice and evaluating the improvement process. A manager's career vision is the most important part of a leadership development plan. This will set the general tone for the professional development strategies that the manager must implement. He needs to rethink what he really wants to achieve in his professional life. Internal motivators for managers’ self-growth play an important role in this re-evaluation process.

Published: May 2022

An individual's knowledge and skills, also known as human capital, shape its professional quality and become a valuable resource for the organization when entering an employment relationship. Investment in human capital, promoting the formal and non-formal lifelong learning of the workforce while implementing targeted capital monitoring, is essential to achieve the strategic goals of the organisation. In addition, in particularly critical areas such as healthcare, human capital management can play a crucial role in ensuring the quality of healthcare and patient safety. The study aims to analyse the research carried out on the aspects of human capital management of the healthcare workforce and its role in the health sector. To achieve the goal, a rapid review was performed by including articles indexed in the databases Scopus and Web of Science in the period 2017-2021, according to search strategy. The study shows - human capital is mostly analysed at the national or regional level as an indicator of a country's level of development (macro-dimension). At the same time, relatively little research has been conducted at the micro-dimension, where management of human capital of the healthcare workforce has been studied at the institutional or sectoral level. Research on human capital management in the healthcare sector at the institutional level only fragmentarily reflects its importance and does not provide a comprehensive picture of effective management methods or systems, as well as benefits or barriers to implementation. There is a significant lack of research on the interaction of human capital management with specific factors in the healthcare sector, such as the quality of health care and the safety of patients and healthcare professionals.

Authors: Gintere Ērika
Published: May 2022

The high number of students who have dropped out of higher education prompts to find out both the reasons for dropping out and the causes of dissatisfaction. The psycho-emotional climate of an educational institution is considered to be one of the indicators of the quality of the institution's organizational culture and performance, which determines its pedagogical effectiveness. Therefore, at the moment when the idea of institutional accreditation seriously marks its place in the accreditation process, there is a growing interest in research, the subject of which is the psycho-emotional climate of a higher education institution as a pedagogical resource. The aim of this publication is to identify the psycho-emotional risks of drop out among the students. The research methodology consists of a set of qualitative data obtained by surveying 50 students who have expressed an intention to drop out. The study data were analysed using the qualitative data processing program NVivo 12.0. The study analysed and described the theoretical framework of the psycho-emotional climate and identified the main risks of drop out. It is concluded that the psycho-emotional climate is an essential component of students' desire to continue their studies, as it promotes the institutional sense of belonging and learning achievements. The results of this study complement existing research with qualitative data, operationalizing psycho-emotional support in higher education settings.

Aim.To determine gender differences in immediate outcomes of patients with acute non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Methods.CABG was indicated to patients with persistent myocardial ischemia (postinfarction angina) who did not meet criteria for percutaneous coronary intervention. Hybrid procedures and CABG aimed at repairing mechanical complications of AMI were not considered. Men (n = 66, 65.3%) were assigned to Group 1, whereas women (n = 35, 34.7%) were assigned to Group 2. Women were older and obese (grades 2-3), had higher GRACE scores, levels of cardiospecific troponin and higher rate of type 2 diabetes (p<0.05). Men and women commonly had three-vessel CAD (3.0; 4.0). The mean SYNTAX score for men and women was 29.0 (24.0; 33.0) and 27.0 (24.0; 28.0), p>0.05.

Results.The median preoperative period was 4.0 days (3.8; 5.0) in male patients and 5.0 (4.0; 6.0) days in female patients (p>0.05). The groups did not have any significant differences in technical aspects of CABG (p>0.05). Mortality was 3.0% in men and 2.9% in women (p>0.05). No deaths were recorded from the onset of AMI till the first 72 hours after CABG. Three patients who under CABG died after 72 hours from the onset of MI (p>0.05). The total number of complications was 13 (19.7%) in men and 5 (14.3%) in women (p>0.05). There were no cases of conversion to cardiopulmonary bypass.

Conclusion.The immediate outcomes of delayed of-pump CABG in both, men and women with acute non-ST-segment myocardial infarction, were comparable in mortality and complications (p>0.05). The immediate outcomes of CABG performed within 72 hours in both, men and women, were comparable in mortality as compared to surgeries performed after 72 hours from the MI onset. Obtained data demonstrated safety of early open-heart surgeries for acute non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction.

Background.The availability of drug-eluting stents with evidence-based clinical safety and efficacy produced in the Russian Federation is one of the relevant goals for successful treating of patients with coronary artery disease, including acute coronary syndrome. Aim To confirm clinical rationale and experimental feasibility of the first Russian drugeluting stent, Calypso (Angioline, LLC, Russian Federation), for the clinical practice.

Methods.The study included four phases. The first phase was aimed at selecting the optimal stent platform with superior healing properties. Then, the selected Russian coronary stents based on the optimal platforms underwent preclinical studies. The third phase included the clinical assessment using optical coherence tomography (OCT) in order to confirm the preclinical results. The last phase was focused on assessing clinical safety and efficacy of the Russian coronary stent based on the comparative analysis of angiographic findings within the 12-months follow-up.

Results.At the first phase, biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting stent showed superior healing properties in comparison with the healing score of 18±14.97 for Orsiro stents (Biotronik, Germany) versus 25.6±1.0 for Xience stents (Abbott Vascular, USA) versus 32.5±20.3 for Synergy (Boston Scientific, USA), p<0.001. The Russian stent consistently demonstrated a high healing profile in preclinical and OCT clinical studies. The results of the comparative clinical study proved the clinical safety and efficacy of the Russian stent that was similar to the best foreign stents. None of the differences in the incidence of binary restenosis were found between the groups (p<0.05).

Conclusion.The biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting stent Calypso manufactured in the Russian Federation demonstrated superior neointimal healing pattern with no signs of chronic inflammation in the experiment. This stent reported high neointimal healing properties according to the clinical OCT study. According to the angiographic findings, the incidence of binary restenosis between the Russian biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting stent and durable polymer everolimuseluting stents was similar at the 12-months follow-up (p>0.05).

AIM: Evaluation of the features of the genomic architecture of Ayrshire cattle in Russia in comparison with other dairy populations of Bos taurus.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using bioinformatic analysis of 42628 SNP markers obtained during genotyping using the BovineSNP50_v3 BeadChip medium density microarray, the features of the genomic architecture of five Bos taurus populations of different breeds were revealed.
RESULTS: The domestic population of Ayrshire cattle was characterized by the lowest heterozygosity (Ho = 0.335, He = 0.339) and insignificant inbreeding (Fis = 0.010) MDS analysis. At the same time, domestic breeding animals formed a separate group within a single cluster of Ayrshirs.
CONCLUSION: The Russian population of Ayrshire cattle is distinguished by a unique genome architecture, while retaining the genetic variants of the Finnish Ayrshire cattle and minor traces of Holstein gene pool.
2019 Mw 5.9 Mirpur, Pakistan Earthquake: Insights from Integrating Geodetic, Seismic, and Field Observations

Published: May 2022

On 24 September 2019, an Mw 5.9 earthquake struck near the Mangla reservoir in northeastern Pakistan and resulted in 39 fatalities and 746 serious injuries, making it the deadliest earthquake in the region since the 2005 Mw 7.6 Kashmir earthquake. Here, we integrate geodetic, seismic, and field observations to characterize the source properties and impact of the Mirpur earthquake as well as investigate whether it might be a reservoir-induced event. From inverting Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar data, we find that a fault with strike ∼310°, dip ∼6°, and rake ∼117° is the optimal source, with slip concentrated between 5 and 6 km depth. This is consistent with our relocated aftershocks depth distribution and the lack of surface rupture observed in the field. Therefore, we infer that the earthquake ruptured the Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT). The event’s shallow depth might explain the extensive damage caused despite its moderate magnitude, with a maximum shaking intensity of VIII based on our field survey. The survey also revealed extensive damages associated with earthquake-induced liquefaction. Our modeling shows that loading due to increased reservoir water level in the three months before the Mirpur earthquake led to Coulomb stress increase of ∼7–10 kPa on the rupture plane. However, this effect is ∼10 times smaller than the Coulomb stress increase due to the 2006 Mangla earthquake, and the Mirpur earthquake only occurred ∼1–2 weeks after peak water level. These suggest that pore pressure diffusion contributed to promoting the fault rupture at a time when it is close to failure due to accumulated stress from inter-seismic loading. Because the Mirpur earthquake resulted in a stress increase of >0.2 MPa on the surrounding sections of the MHT and nearby faults, future rupture of these faults is a significant hazard and proper management of reservoir operations is necessary to prevent further elevating the seismic risk.

The concept of economic growth that has increased social welfare needs to be expanded in terms of its meaning and benchmarks. It focuses not only on economic activities but also on how they impact all of society in the present and the future. This study aims to analyze Indonesia’s inclusive green growth in 2015 and 2019. The method used to obtain the analysis is the Inclusive Green Growth Index (IGGI), conducted by Asian Development Bank (ADB). IGGI is a composite index consisting of three pillars: economic growth, social equity, and environmental sustainability. The study showed that Indonesia’s inclusive green growth was getting better where its average score in 2015 was 3.21, increasing to 3.36 in 2019. However, the improvement is not ideal yet because its mainly influenced by the economic growth pillar. In contrast, the average score of the environmental sustainability pillar declined from 4.19 in 2015 to 4.00 in 2019, accompanied by the decreasing social equity pillar score in 15 out of 34 provinces. All Efforts to achieve a better-balanced IGGI are improving and maintaining environmental quality, improving access to economic and political activities, improving public service and infrastructure in various provinces, and increasing superior and potential sectors to pursue economic disparity inter-provincial.

Biosimilars: Fundamentals and authorization as per U.S. perspective
Authors: Nori Lakshmi Prasanthi , Manikiran S. S.
Published: May 2022

Biosimilars are biological products that are the replicas of their innovator biopharmaceuticals. At the moment, biological products account for 10 -15% of the total pharmaceutical market. More than one-fifth of new medicines launched on the world market each year are now biotechnology derived. These are developed after patent expiration of innovator biopharmaceuticals and are submitted for separate marketing approval. In view of the structural and manufacturing complexities of biopharmaceuticals, biosimilars should not be considered as biological generics. Each class of biologic varies in its benefit and risk profile, the nature and frequency of adverse events, the breadth of clinical indications and whether surrogate markers for efficacy are available and validated. But most of the countries do not have specific guidelines for potential market of biological products. Following the legislation that allowed the FDA to approve biosimilars in the United States, biological products that are similar to the reference product in terms of safety, purity and potency are gradually entering into the market. To date, only five biosimilars have been approved in the U. S. although many agents are currently undergoing trials and may soon become available. This article will address the differences between biosimilars and generics, issues concern with the approval process, use of biosimilars and need.
Nomi delle organizzazioni non profit in Italia nella prospettiva crematonomastica
Authors: Groblińska Justyna
Published: May 2022

[…] la monografia Nomi delle organizzazioni non profit in Italia nella prospettiva crematonomastica costituisce un importante contributo nei confronti della ricerca onomastica nella prospettiva italianistica. Da un lato, occorre sottolineare come l’analisi proposta dall’autrice – dedicata ad un argomento molto preciso e abilmente estratto dal contesto della realtà crematonomasicka – si inserisce in un ambito ad oggi ancora poco approfondito della linguistica italiana. Dall’altro lato, occorre inoltre notare che il testo presenta fonti molto interessanti, che costituiscono una registrazione di un momento preciso nella storia della lingua. Questo aspetto attribuisce valore al lavoro anche sul piano culturale se non addirittura etnografico. Il corpus onimico presentato nella pubblicazione costituisce una lettura interessante in sé, mentre il dettagliato e pluridimensionale studio dei crematonimi, basato su una categorizzazione ben elaborata ed eseguito su diversi livelli d’analisi (dalla fonetica fino alla semantica e alla retorica), sicuramente sarà una fonte di conoscenza per il lettore, che sia un esperto linguista come anche un appassionato dilettante della lingua italiana. dalla recensione della prof.ssa Kamila Miłkowska-Samul Un importante pregio del volume è il ruolo che esso svolge nella nobilitazione della crematonomastica – una sottodisciplina altrettanto importante quanta l’antroponomastica e la toponomastica. […] Il valore del testo è evidente anche sul piano pratico, in quanto riporta degli utili consigli nella creazione di nuovi crematonimi sociali, nonché riesce ad abbinare con successo e credibilità le denominazioni di organizzazioni non profit alla funzione di marketing. Se a questo aggiungiamo un’ottima composizione del testo, la completezza delle analisi e una metodologia esemplare, otteniamo un’opera che arricchisce e contribuisce in modo significativo ai progressi della ricerca crematonomastica in Italia e in Polonia. dalla recensione del prof.

Dos visiones del fenómeno anarquista en la novela barcelonesa: de Mariona Rebull a La verdad sobre el caso Savolta
Authors: Rivero Machina Antonio
Published: May 2022

This paper aims to study the presence of anarchism as a historical and social phenomenon in the novels Mariona Rebull by Ignacio Agustí, published in 1944, and La verdad sobre el caso Savolta by Eduardo Mendoza, published in 1975. This paper offers a contrast between the two novels, observing their commonalities —the theme and location, mainly— and their points of opposition —narrative technique and description of social environments—. These differences also allow us to observe the diverse treatment of anarchist violence in the historical novel written under the Franco period, noting clear differences between the vision offered by Agustí, in the midst of the post-war period, and that of Mendoza, at the gates of the democratic transition.

Introduction: TIn the 3rd SDGs target is “Ensure Healthy and Promote Wellbeing for all ages", it is hoped that the workforce is not only free from illness but also free from psychological disorders, one of which is job stress. Job stress is a negative impact of a job, especially in dealing with situation and demand that exceed the worker’s ability to cope. Job stress arises because knowledge of workers problem solving not fit with job demand at organization or company. Job stress can degrade workers ability to solve problem. The worker's ability to cope with job stress is not same. Job stress may occur in construction workers whose jobs are monotonous. This study aims to analyze the factors that affect job stress in construction workers. Internal factors include exercise habit and social support. External factors include job demand, work period, and non-work activities. Method: This was observational study which approach by cross-sectional in a construction company. The sample of this study was 55 workers. This study used National Institute Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Generic Job Stress Questionnaire instrument. The variables in this study were internal factors: exercise habit and social support. External factors: job demand, work period and non-work activities. The data were analyzed statistically with the Ordinal Regression Test. Results: Internal factor that have a significant effect was exercise habit variable (p=0.014). External factor that have a significant effect was job demand (p=0.045). Conclusion: Exercise habit can affect the ability of workers to deal job stress. The job demand factor can affect the job stress.Keywords: construction workers, job stress, the SDGs 3rd

Introduction: One of the ways to control hazards with an engineering approach in an effort to reduce hazards due to chemical reactions in the laboratory is to install a ventilation system, especially in the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The research objectives of this study are to evaluate the implementation of the Local Exhaust Ventilation System in the AAS room. Method: This study used a descriptive observational method with a cross-sectional approach. It was carried out at the Testing Laboratory of the Technical Implementation Unit (henceforth-UPT) of Occupational Safety Surabaya. Data collection was carried out through direct observation in the field to determine the LEV system components and to measure the flow velocity in the inlet and outlet areas of the LEV system. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively by describing the situation systematically and factually. The data were then presented in the form of narration, tabulation, and figures. Results: The conditions of the Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV), in terms of the design, type and material of each component such as the hood, ducting system and pump machine as well as the fan, are already in accordance with the tool specifications and ASHRAE standards. However, the LEV system has not installed an air cleaner. The results of the measurement show that flow velocity in the LEV system has met the standard, which is 10 m/s with the danger of fume contaminants. In fact, its volumetric flow rate has decreased by more than 20%. Conclusion: laboratory management is advised to consider installing an air cleaner on the LEV system installed in the Hitachi AAS so that contaminants released in the air are cleaner and more environmentally friendly.Keywords: hazard control, laboratory, local exhaust ventilation, ventilation

Introduction: Workers in the maintenance and repair division's shipping division work in outdoor physical environments, which get hot temperatures from the environment. They cause excessive sweating while working and can cause dehydration if not drinking enough water. Methods: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between drinking habits and work climate perception with dehydration status in shipping companies' workers. The research method was analytic observational, with a cross-sectional design in 2019 in one of the shipping companies with a sample size of 49 workers who were selected using simple random sampling from 55 worker populations. The independent variables included respondent characteristics, drinking water consumption habits, and work climate perceptions, while the dependent variable was dehydration status. Dehydration status among workers was measured base on the specific gravity of urine measured in the laboratory, and the working climate was measured using a heat stress monitor. Result: The results showed that 85.71% of workers had minimum dehydration status, and 14.29% had significant dehydration. Then, there was a meaningful relationship between drinking water habits and dehydration status (r = -0.320 and p = 0.025). There was also a relationship between workers' work climate perceptions and dehydration status (r = -0.283 and p = 0.049). Conclusion: The relationship showed a weak negative meaning that the less habit of drinking water among workers, the higher the dehydration status of the workers. The more disturbed they perceive the working climate; the less dehydrated status of workers will be. So it can be ignored that there were drinking habits and the work climate perceptions with dehydrated status in shipping companies' workers. Keywords: dehydration status, drinking habits, work climate perceptions.
