Authors: Bakiko Elena V. , Serdyuk Vitaly S. , Yakovleva Elena V.
Published: December 2020

In the context of a dynamically developing digital economy in Russia, the labor protection management system in organizations is integrated into production management processes, based on the principles of social partnership and digitalization of labor protection processes. Emerging new and existing problems of finding tools for effective management of labor protection in modern socio-economic conditions can also be solved based on a competence-based approach. In order to study the impact of professional competence of specialists in the field of labor protection on the effectiveness of labor protection management and the development of social and labor relations in the field of labor protection in the organization, there was conducted an analytical study using empirical material from more than 1,600 organizations. There was studied state of professional competence of more than 2,600 specialists in the field of labor protection. The expert method identifies various levels of professional competence of specialists in the field of labor protection: high, medium and low. The method of mathematical analysis (main components) is used to assess the factors of formation of their professional competence, such as basic education, experience and work experience, professional development, and the availability of additional competencies. Using the methods of analysis and synthesis, the authors justified and proposed indicators of social and labor relations in the field of labor protection, which are influenced by the professional competence of specialists in the field of labor protection. The main indicator was the rate of accidents at work. As a result, the method of factor analysis determined the complex influence of the level of professional competence of specialists in the field of labor protection on the development of social and labor relations in the field of labor protection. From the positions of various categories of personnel, this influence is estimated as directly proportional, constructive, nominal and destructive. The authors obtained a quantitative assessment of the impact of the level of professional competence of specialists in the field of labor protection on the level of injuries as one of the indicators of social and labor relations in the field of labor protection in organizations on the example of one of the factors of its formation - basic specialized education. The article shows the positive impact of improving the professional competence of specialists in the field of labor protection on the economic efficiency of the enterprise.
Integrated management of an organization: from strategic management by goals to a system of key performance indicators (the case of a large production company).
Authors: Kalabina Elena G.
Published: December 2020

The article explores the possibilities of using integrated management of an organization as a concept of a holistic approach to the implementation of basic management functions, taking into account the organization's development goals and building metrics of key performance indicators on the example of a large production company in the field of electric power in the context of modern conditions. The theoretical roots and modern understanding of the management paradigm of integrated management are revealed. The author has diagnosed problem areas during the transition to integrated management, including the selection of an irrelevant set of key performance indicators for business units and their inconsistency with the goals of its development, information incompatibility of the source data for establishing key performance indicators for business units, incorrect data collection and processing, insufficient development of methodological support for calculations, heterogeneity of information flows for establishing key performance indicators, taking into account the accepted organizational structure of the company. The current conditions for using the integrated management tools of an organization with a focus on developing rules and procedures for using key performance indicators are identified. It is established that implementation of integrated management in the company associated with the transition from correct formulation of the development goals of the organization, its business units to a diversified set of key performance indicators for evaluation of the employee organization that requires the use of adequate software support and system administration. On the example of a large production company in the Ural region, a practical example of prototyping the use of integrated management is considered and an algorithm for its sequential implementation for one of the company's business units is proposed.
Impact of employment precarization on the modern personnel potential formation of universities and a portrait of a scientific and pedagogical worker
Authors: Patutina Svetlana Yu.
Published: December 2020

Today, in any area, one can observe signs of labor precarization, which are the result of any changes (crisis, pandemic, etc.), both positive and negative. One of these changes concerns, first of all, the social and labor sphere, where the key player is the employee with his attitude to work. That, in turn, influences the formation of human resources. For example, a positive attitude towards any changes in the environment can lead to the formation of powerful potential with a highly qualified workforce and vice versa. The work clearly presents the results of a comparative analysis of the "ideal" and "average" portrait of a scientific and pedagogical worker (SPW) according to the data of job portals on the labor market of the Sverdlovsk region, as well as the results of a survey by the SPW of three Ural universities. The aim of the work was to study the influence of precarious conditions not only on the portrait of modern teaching staff, but also on the personnel potential of universities. The object and subject of the study were the scientific and pedagogical workers of Russian universities and the conditions for the precarization of scientific and pedagogical work (respectively). Proceeding from the goal, the following tasks were set: first, to study the approaches to the concept, content and conditions of labor precarization in scientific works of Russian and domestic authors; secondly, to carry out a comparative analysis of the “average” and “ideal” portraits of the SPW; thirdly, to assess the personnel potential of Russian universities and the level of satisfaction of the teaching staff in precarious working conditions. Based on the results of a comparative analysis of portraits and a survey of the teaching staff, a portrait of the modern teaching staff was obtained. Assessment of job satisfaction made it possible to determine the dependence of survival in precarious conditions due to the high level of involvement of the teaching staff in scientific and pedagogical work. Based on the results of the work, the author proposed an assessment and use of the potential of student youth in order to attract them to scientific and pedagogical activities, taking into account the behavioral roles of the teaching staff that are established in modern conditions.
Economic Crimes: Review of Changes in Chapter 22 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation
Authors:   Rostov Branch  of the Russian Customs Academy, Podroykina Inna Andreyevna
Published: December 2020

The present study analyzes the content of the laws changing Chapter 22 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The author draws attention to the fact that since the adoption of the Criminal Code, 60 laws have amended this Chapter. As a result of constant adjustments, not a single article from the 1996 version of the Code has remained in its original form. Both the dispositions of the arti-cles of Chapter 22 of the Criminal Code and the sanctions were “improved”. A number of articles were restated several times. The number of econom-ic crimes has increased by more than 80 %. As-sessing these processes, the author points at the unstructured nature of the changes, inconsistency with respect to criminalization (decriminalization) of the economy, and therefore calls on the legislator to change the approach to reforming the Criminal Code in general and Chapter 22 in particular.

Summary: Addressing the problem of the formation of students' personal maturity during the period of study at a university in order to identify dynamic changes in its individual components is relevant for psychology both in theoretical and applied terms. One of the most significant aspects of higher education is the formation of a mature personality, which is capable of making competent, independent, decisions that meet the requirements of subjects of labor relations in professional activity. The process of forming the personal maturity of students, updating their internal resources, ensuring their professional development during the period of study at university will be more successful within the framework of organized support. From this perspective, the article presents an attempt to study the characteristics of the development of personal maturity of students in the process of studying at university, taking into account the issue of the elements of such maturity.. Based on the research and traditions in psychology, which were subjected to theoretical analysis, the main emphasis in our study was placed on those main components of personal maturity that are directly related to such personal constructs as the self-concept, self-awareness, value-semantic sphere. In the context of the studies considered, those that determine its full-fledged functioning were identified as the main components of personal maturity: the value component (self-respect, self-acceptance), the personal component (attitude to one’s “I”, life values and attitudes), achievement motivation (activity) indicators of the ability to psychological closeness (empathy). The analysis of the features of the development of these components of personal maturity became the goal of the experimental work. The data of a formative experiment are presented, as a result of which it is proved that in the course of systemic psychological and pedagogical support of students, it is possible to change the main components of personal maturity.

Authors:   Industrial University of Tyumen, Ostapchenko Galiya Sachitullowna
Published: December 2020

The paper emphasizes that trends in education, the processes of globalization and internationalization of all spheres of human life force countries to carry out transformations in the field of higher education. Russia is also trying to change the system of higher education in order to integrate into the global educational space. Reforms in higher education are reduced to the fact that the University should produce professionally mobile, competitive and in demand in the labor market graduates who are able to activate their potential, show intellectual and creative abilities. The pedagogical community actively implements innovative technologies in educational practice. However, only the variety of pedagogical tools does not provide the necessary level and quality of professional training for the country. It is concluded that the solution to this problem implies the need to implement an appropriate innovation policy in higher education, in which a new type of educational environment will play a decisive role.

Internet Meme as the Subject of Social Studies: Opportunities of Event Analysis Application
Authors:   Nizhny Tagil State  Social-Pedagogical Institute branch  of Russian State  Vocational-Pedagogical University, Oleshkova Anna Mikhailovna
Published: December 2020

The present study considers memes as socio-cultural phenomena which is complex and multilevel. The authors single out research prospects for studying memes with the methods applied in sociological research. Even though a variety of disciplines studies memes, sociology analyzes memes from the perspective of social stratification, “us” and “them” dichotomy, allowing researchers to observe memetics as both socio-cultural and quasi-political reality. Internet meme is shown as the most dynamic and representative phenomenon in memetics. Social media provide a context for Internet meme that reflect values of any modern society. The methods applied in meme research presupposes a synthesis of interdisciplinary approaches and separate procedures including, firstly, multimodal analysis, content analysis and discursive studies. Event analysis is a subtype of content analysis. In the case of memes interpretation due to this method a researcher can observe the dynamics of social and political events, define social and cultural continuum markers as well as values of modern society.
Choro hodierno: uma proposta de contextualização
Authors: Pompeo Samuel
Published: December 2020

Este artigo surge de uma inquietação pessoal provocada pela percepção de preservação de postulados do século XIX em performances denominadas modernas do choro. Esta afirmação está baseada na análise do estado da arte e na observação de continuidade de determinadas características no choro desde seus primórdios até o presente momento. Como parte da proposição do modelo prático-teórico que será designado choro hodierno, este artigo realizou o levantamento dos conceitos fundamentais atrelados a este gênero musical: choro tradicional, choro moderno, choro contemporâneo, neo-choro, choro de concerto, hibridação e fusão. A compilação de informações mostradas neste trabalho revela que sem contestações a tendências hegemônicas -auto identificadas como legítimas- e sem a aceitação de tendências paralelas -que propiciem às práticas performáticas do choro novas mesclas de elementos- o choro dificilmente se afastará do mainstream.
La formación del director de coro desde una perspectiva decolonial
Authors: Zgainer Gustavo , Burcet María Inés
Published: December 2020

La carrera de Dirección Coral forma parte de la propuesta académica de diferentes universidades en Latinoamérica. En estos espacios de formación, los planes de estudio suelen poner el énfasis en el dominio y la comunicación de la gestualidad, la adquisición de técnicas de ensayo y ensamble, el conocimiento acerca de la correcta dicción idiomática, el estudio de la técnica vocal y la adquisición de habilidades auditivas. Sin embargo, estas capacidades muchas veces entran en conflicto con las necesidades y las exigencias que la actividad profesional demanda a los directores de coro, especialmente cuando las realidades de los grupos corales en los que los directores se desempeñan se alejan de las características propias de los grupos vocales profesionales.

En este trabajo nos proponemos conocer algunas de las dimensiones de la realidad profesional con la cuales se encuentran los directores de coro al ejercer la profesión. Al mismo tiempo nos proponemos hacer un análisis crítico de la formación actual del director de coro desde una perspectiva decolonial con el fin de visibilizar los supuestos que subyacen a su formación y promover la necesidad de transformar esa realidad.

Published: December 2020

Background: Kenya has since independence struggled to restructure its health system to provide services to its entire population especially in outbreak responses. The last decade has seen the country witness disease outbreaks across the country i.e. Rift Valley fever in June 2018, and Chikungunya and Dengue fever in Mombasa in February 2018. This exposed the country’s lack of preparedness in handling outbreaks at grass root level. Outbreak incidences tend to prevail at community level before a public health action is established, with the situation becoming dire in the lower tier health facilities. Objective: The purpose of the study was to assess the uptake of Integrated Disease Surveillance Response (IDSR) health data and utilisation at community level health systems in the six sub counties within Nairobi County of Kenya. Methodology: The study used cross-sectional descriptive research design on a target population of 1840 community health workers. The study used Yamane formula to calculate the sample size of 371 respondents, selected using stratified sampling and simple random sampling methods. The logistic regression model was used to assess the benefits of Integrated Data Surveillance and Response data in health facilities across Nairobi County. Data was collected using questionnaires, analysis done using Statistical Packages for Social Sciences, and findings presented in form of tables and bar graphs. Results: The study had 315 questionnaires were duly filled and returned, representing 85% response rate. The findings showed that 268(85%) Healthcare Workers lacked training on using disease surveillance data; 236(75%) cited lack of tools for disease surveillance in facilities, while 173(55%)cited lack of timely IDSR data as hindrance to IDSR data uptake. The regression findings showed that training of healthcare workers on IDSR, installation of disease surveillance system tools, and timely collection and dissemination of surveillance data increases the likelihood of IDSR data uptake in community health facilities. Conclusion: The study concluded that IDSR system tools should be installed in community health facilities across the six sub counties in Nairobi County. Training should be emphasised to ensure all health care workers have the required skills to use the IDSR data. There is need to ensure IDSR data is collected and disseminated on time to make it available for interpretation and use by health care workers in their respective facilities.

Authors: Gökçe Mesut , Kayali Yusuf , Talaş Şükrü
Published: December 2020

Titanium based alloys or materials used for mechanical and constructional purposes can exhibit high corrosion and abrasion resistance with coatings made on their surfaces. In this study, the surface of Ti6Al4V plate substrate was coated with TiC+TiB2 composite electrodes at different volts and frequencies by Electro-Spark Deposition (ESD) method. The ESD method is a micro arc welding method that allows deposits of alloys and ceramics compounds that have electrical conductivity on the surface of metallic materials, with the plasma that brings about a better melting of base metal and electrode for producing good adhesion between the coating and base metal. In this study, the Ti6Al4V samples were coated with TiC+TiB2 electrodes, and the precoating, post-coating hardnesses, wear rates and coating layer thicknesses of the samples were examined. TiC + TiB2 composite coating on the surface of Ti6Al4V alloys by ESD method was achieved and the hardness increase was observed with the help of numerous hard ceramic phases.
Is there a relationship between the use of motorcycles and the level of development of countries?
Authors: Bastos Suzana Quinet Andrade , Gama Fabio , de Paula Assis Tiana , Milosz Matheus
Published: December 2020

Our paper aims to analyse the hypothesis that locations with a higher Human Development Index (HDI) present lower rates of motorcycle use. For this we use an econometric model for 117 countries on five continents for the years 2013, 2015 and 2018. We assume that when a country reaches a higher level of development, its population is more likely to experience improvements in the quality of life, which also affects the quality of individual transportation, public transport and roads. Increases in income discourage the use of motorcycles, mainly due to their low safety and comfort features. Our results indicate that rates of motorcycle use in countries increase as HDI rises, before reaching a maximum point and then declining. Therefore, this evidence suggests that a certain degree of development discourages the use of this means of transport in favour of others.

Background. We aimed to evaluate the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthritis (SpA) male patient versus control, then to determine the relation of LUTS with rheumatic diseases (RD) characteristics and with erectile dysfunction (ED).

Methods. We conducted a cross-sectional case control study including 50 men with RA or SpA and 50 healthy controls. LUTS were evaluated by the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS). LUTS bother was evaluated by the Quality of life (QoL) score, which ranges from 0 to 6. LUTS bother was considered if QoL score exceeded 2. Moreover, erectile function was assessed by the International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF5) (ED if score < 21).

Results. LUTS were significantly more severe in RD patients than controls (p = 0.03). However, there was no difference between the two groups in LUTS bother (QoL) (p = 0.2). Comparing RA and SpA showed no difference as to the severity of LUTS or effect of bother on QoL (p = 0.13, p = 0.5). The prevalence of ED in RD patients was not significantly higher than controls (80% versus 70%; p = 0.2).There were also no differences either between RA and SpA groups (p = 0.74).

The severity of LUTS for patients with RD (RA and SpA) was significantly associated with age (p = 0.001), age at disease onset (p = 0.002) and ED (p = 0.008).

Conclusion. According to our study, men with RD seem to be exposed to more severe LUTS than controls. Also, the severity of LUTS was associated with ED, age of patients and the age of disease onset.

In a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous business environment (VUCA environment) organizations often face changes, being forced to update their strategy in order to maintain or increase their competitive advantage. In the context of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, all organizations regardless of their area of activity had to devise a fast-track action plan so that they could continue their work even in a new world - an uncertain world with many changes, from one hour to another. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to reveal the connection between the VUCA business environment and the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic context, respectively the way in which organizational change analyzed through the VUCA world could influence the activity of organizations in the pandemic context. In order to achieve these objectives, a systematic review was conducted. Starting from the present studies and researches, this paper aims to present the main components of the VUCA world and how they influence organizational change, the implications that the pandemic context had on the activity organizations, changes in the style of coordination and leadership of organizations caused by SARS-CoV-2, as well as the new skills and competencies that employees of organizations must acquire in order to cope with an insecure and complex business environment. The results showed that taking into account the aspects characteristic of the VUCA world can play a decisive role when a crisis situation arises, such as that created by SARS - CoV-2.

There is building evidence that Adverse Childhood Experiences without early and proper intervention leads to subsequent short- and long-term behavioral, social, physical and mental health problems. Practitioners, researchers, and healthcare systems have been implementing trauma-informed care (TIC) in a variety of health and human services settings, resulting in improvements in clinical care and prevention of illness by identifying high risk populations. This has led to positive health outcomes including improved compliance, better access to mental health services and reduced health care costs. A systematic review was conducted of studies that focused on TIC implementation in healthcare settings, statewide TIC implementation, impact of adverse childhood experiences on health outcomes, impact of TIC on health outcomes, and evaluation of TIC implementation. A search was conducted in March 2019 to identify studies in PubMed, Medline, and other online literature. We limited our search to articles published in English after 2000. This article aims to review the components of TIC phases of implementation in healthcare settings, success stories across the nation to help the readers understand the importance of a paradigm shift to improve healthcare delivery and health outcomes and to prevent illness starting from childhood with a family centered care perspective.

Published: December 2020

Background. To date, the diet quality of Iranian students in relation to socio-demographic characteristics was not studied. The present study aimed to explore the association between the healthy eating index and sociodemographic characteristics among a nationally representative sample of Iranian children and adolescents.
Methods. This nationwide study was conducted in 5187 children and adolescents, aged 6-18 years. Data regarding socio-demographic variables, lifestyle factors, family and student dietary habits, and quality of life were gathered via validated questionnaires. The Alternate Healthy Eating Index-2010 (AHEI-2010) was used to calculate diet quality scores.
Results. The odds of high diet quality was 24% lower in adolescents (13-18years) compared to children aged 6-12 years (OR 0.76, CI 0.64-0.89, p= 0.001). Students in families with moderate (OR 1.30, CI 1.13-1.49, p < 0.001) and high socioeconomic status (OR 1.36, CI 1.18-1.57, p < 0.001) were 30% and 36% more likely to have a higher diet quality score, respectively. Lower mean AHEI-2010 scores (CI) were found for low socio-economic status (46.18-47.10), adolescents 47.40 (46.94-47.82), boys 47.51 (47.14-47.88) and South-East area 47.19 (46.54-49.15) (p < 0.05) due to lower intake of fruits and vegetables and high intake of sodium and sugar-sweetened beverages.
Conclusions. The overall diet quality of Iranian children and adolescents was low with disparities across sociodemographic variables notably age and familial socio-economic status.

Published: December 2020

Background. Fecal calprotectin is an important inflammatory marker in intestinal diseases and is not routinely used in the upper gastrointestinal system disorders. The aim of this study was to show whether there is a relationship between fecal calprotectin levels and Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) gastritis in children and to determine the association of fecal calprotectin levels with gastric biopsy results in terms of chronic inflammation and neutrophil activity.
Methods. Patients with the complaints of the upper gastrointestinal system (epigastric pain, heartburn, nausea and vomiting) who were planned to undergo endoscopy were enrolled prospectively. The presence of H pylori was defined according to the gastric antrum biopsy results. Fecal calprotectin level was tested in the stool sample of the patients. The fecal calprotectin levels, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and gastric biopsy results of 89 patients were evaluated.
Results. H pylori was found to be positive in the gastric biopsies of 51 (57.3%) patients. In the H pylori positive group mean fecal calprotectin level was 74.8 ± 67 μg/g, and in the H pylori negative group mean fecal calprotectin level was 52.7 ± 46 μg/g and the difference was significant (p= 0.039). We also found a significant relationship between fecal calprotectin levels and gastric neutrophil activity grades (p= 0.034).
Conclusions. Mean fecal calprotectin levels were found to be higher in H pylori positive subjects in our study. Fecal calprotectin levels were correlated with gastric neutrophil activity grades. Fecal calprotectin represents gastric neutrophilic inflammation. When interpreting a high fecal calprotectin level, H pylori infection should be kept in mind.

Background. Investigating life-stage factors associated with overweight may be useful in the prevention of excessive BMI increase. The main aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the route of delivery, birth weight and overweight onset on overweight severity in a sample of overweight adolescents followed at a Pediatric Obesity Clinic.
Methods. Clinical data from 412 adolescents with overweight (BMI ≥ p85), aged 10-18 were retrospectively collected and analyzed.
Results. Adolescents born by cesarean section (CS) showed a lower age of overweight onset, compared to other methods of delivery (d= 0.33, p= .009). Birth weight was positively associated with BMI z-score (r=.164, p= 002) and waist circumference (WC) (r=.191, p=.001). The overweight onset was negatively associated with BMI z-score (r= -.277, p < .001), WC (r= -.270, p < .001) and body fat mass (r= -.199, p=.001). Overweight duration was the best predictor of BMI z-score, explaining in 75% its variation (F=1,317)=26.94, p < .001), which increased to 99% when birth weight was included in the model (F(2,316)=18.47, p < .001).
Conclusions. This study suggests that lifestyle may interrupt the burden of CS on BMI z-score throughout growth. Moreover, increased birth weight may anticipate overweight onset, and consequently overweight duration in the presence of inadequate lifestyle behaviors.

Published: December 2020

Background. Despite several treatment modalities being described for pelvic floor dyssynergia-type constipation, the clinical evaluation of interferential current therapy (IFC) has not been examined. We aimed to examine the clinical effects of IFC therapy in the treatment of children with pelvic floor dyssynergia-type constipation.
Methods. Between May 2018 and July 2019, this randomized controlled study included sixty-two children (46 boys and 16 girls) with pelvic floor dyssynergia-type constipation; their ages ranged between 7 and 15 years. The children were randomly divided into either the IFC group (n = 31) who received an active IFC therapy to stimulate the pelvic floor and external anal sphincter muscles, three times per week for four successive weeks, or the control group (n = 31) who received sham IFC stimulation. Stool-incontinence frequency per week, stool type, pelvic floor excursion, and myogenic activity of external anal sphincter were evaluated at the baseline, post-treatment, and three months after treatment termination.
Results. The baseline evaluation showed non-significant differences between the IFC and control groups (p > 0.05). The post-treatment results showed a statistically significant difference between both groups regarding all variables, favoring the IFC group (p < 0.05). Further, the favorable effect of IFC on all variables continued at the follow-up, three months later.
Conclusions. IFC therapy appears to improve stool-incontinence frequency, stool type, pelvic floor excursion, and myogenic activities of the external anal sphincter in children with pelvic floor dyssynergia-type constipation. These results suggest that adding IFC therapy to the medical treatment could improve the main features of pelvic floor dyssynergia-type constipation.
Emotion regulation in adolescents with acne vulgaris: correlates of medication adherence, clinical dimensions and psychopathology symptoms: a cross-sectional study
Authors: Turan Serkan , Turan Işıl Kamberoğlu , Özbağcıvan Özlem
Published: December 2020

Background. Acne vulgaris causes profound negative physical, psychological and social effects on self-image and a negative impact on the quality of life. Most research so far has been limited to adults, and little is known about the emotion regulation, medication adherence, clinical dimensions and psychopathology symptoms in young people with acne vulgaris.
Methods. A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted in a center in western Turkey. Ninety-six adolescents with acne vulgaris and 100 controls participated in the study. All participants completed self-report questionnaires including the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), Difficulties in emotion regulation scale (DERS) and Morisky medication adherence scale-8 (MMAS-8). Acne severity was assessed with The Global Acne Grading Score (GAGS).
Results. Acne vulgaris patients showed poorer SDQ and DERS scores reflecting the emotional regulation problems and psychopathological symptoms compared to healthy controls. The percentages of high, medium and low adherence were 6%, 36% and 58% for oral medication; and 17.39%, 56.52% and 26.09% for topical medication, respectively. There were significant correlations between all SDQ subscale scores and the scores for the impulsivity subscale and total scores of DERS. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between MMAS-8 and the choice of topical/oral medication. Likewise, GAGS were correlated with three specific SDQ domains: emotional symptoms, prosocial behavior and total scores, and with three specific DERS domains: clarity, strategy and total scores.
Conclusions. Maladaptive emotion regulation strategies of patients with acne vulgaris may be associated with higher psychopathological symptoms and lower beliefs in treatment efficacy. It is important to include emotional regulation interventions to improve medication adherence and quality of health care in young acne patients.

Published: December 2020

Background. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common condition in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), particularly in preterm infants. Management of AKI in neonates is challenging. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) has been preferred as the most applicable modality in neonates when medical therapy fails.
Case. A female infant was born at 24 and 4/7 weeks with a birth weight of 460 grams after an emergency cesarian section from a preeclamptic pregnacy. She developed AKI secondary to sepsis. A neonatal, straight single-cuff Tenckhoff catheter was inserted and PD was started on day 12. PD was discontinued after 6 days, on day 18 with adequate urine output and normalization of kidney function tests. However, the patient died on day 152 secondary to a nosocomial infection.
Conclusion. To the best of our knowlegde, our case is the smallest infant in whom PD was performed succesfully with a PD catheter. PD is a relatively safe, effective and a feasible therapy in the neonatal population even in the smallest infants. PD may be a live-saving procedure in extremely low birth weight infants with severe AKI.
