Published: August 2020

In order to ensure the socio-economic development of Ukraine on the basis of the concept of inclusive sustainable growth, the necessity of introducing technology of inclusive budgeting, which would take into account the benefits of practical use of program-targeted, participatory and gender-based budgeting, has been proved. The main features of inclusive budgeting include: existence of legislatively approved rules, norms and procedures that maximally involve citizens into filling budgets of different levels on the basis of the principle of progressive taxation and provide them with equal access possibilities to public services; maximize the involvement of society members in formulation of the budget programs on the basis of which budget expenditures are determined, as well as in monitoring their implementation, including the reporting procedure.

Interpretation of the terms «budgetary inclusion» and «inclusive budgeting» is proposed. In particular, budgetary inclusion is interpreted by the authors as comprehensive access for all stakeholders to formation and use of budgetary resources through the introduction of innovative budgeting technologies. Inclusive budgeting is defined as a technology of budgetary resources management, which reflects the way of influence of the methods, forms, tools, key factors of the budgetary mechanism on distributive relations, is to ensure that the results of formation and use of budgetary resources are priorities of the socio-economic development of the state, based on equal opportunities of population access to public services, active involvement of all stakeholders in budgetary procedures and harmonization of interests of the state and citizens. The main elements of inclusive budgeting include: budget programs; performance indicators for evaluating the implementation of budget programs; budget program executors; initiative, active, financially competent citizens; participatory budgeting.

The main stages of integration of inclusive aspects in the budget process are defined: carrying out inclusive budget analysis (analysis of budget requests, budget programs and the state of their financing, budgets in order to identify problems of unequal access of citizens to budgetary resources and public services); formulation of the goals and recommendations to enhance inclusion; making changes to budget requests, budget programs, budgets; monitoring and evaluation of the results of changes made to budget requests, budget programs, budgets.

Published: August 2020

Modern transformational changes occurring in the socio-economic life of countries are conditioned by the evolution of information and communication technologies, the deployment of globalization, decentralization, the strengthening of the openness policy and the increase of efficiency of use and hence the transition from a bureaucratic model of government to a consensus model, a built model. implementation of entrepreneurial management mechanisms in providing social services to the population actualize the need for rethinking and justification the structure of public finance in the new environment. On the basis of systematic analysis, the theoretical aspects of «public finances» are revealed in the article, their structure is substantiated and the necessity of application in scientific circulation as an important dominant of civil society is proved. It is emphasized that the essential characteristics of this definition are revealed by the existence of financial and economic relations between the population, the state, other public institutions and economic entities regarding the formation, distribution, and use of public funds to meet the public needs of the population. It is shown that the structure of public finances is formed by state and local finances, finances of communal enterprises and state corporations, finances of enterprises and organizations of communal ownership, extrabudgetary trust funds and public funds. Among the dominant features of public finances in the context of modern transformations are transparency and imperative character. It has been argued that the vector of public finance reform must continue to be decentralization, which, in addition to the redistribution of resources and powers, should promote the extension of the financial powers of local governments, increase the transparency of both public and local finances, and raise public accountability. the public sector and improving the quality of life of the population.

Published: August 2020

Modern education systems face new possibilities of application of innovative technological decisions in education that promote adaptive learning systems. Nowadays artificial intelligence becomes the central element of these systems and the basic tool to obtain competitive advantages on education services market. Thus, the aim of our research is to determine main trends, challenges and opportunities in application of artificial intelligence in education, exploring financial and social benefits, prospects and threats of that process. In order to achieve main aim of the research, some general and specific methods, such as content analysis, synthesis, abstraction and logical-graphic structuring, were used. Main trends are presented from three points of view: new horizons of teaching and learning opportunities, new threats for teaching and learning opportunities, and new financial and economic opportunities. Despite the social threats of AI usage, such as risks of human teacher unemployment and social interaction destruction within the learning process, market of AI for education systems steep increase. The highest rates of growth are typical for Asia-Pacific region, particularly for fast-growing economies such as China, and South Korea; North America market for AI in education still maintains the lead. Comparing trends in AI spread in education with financial successes of these countries we conclude that AI use in education systems can mitigate social drawbacks via greater accessibility for knowledge, higher quality of the educational process, individual and country competitiveness increase. Consequently, investments in innovation and promising AI programs in education remain a priority for economic growth and demand further support of educational policy makers.

Published: August 2020

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that is reaching epidemic proportions worldwide. It is imperative to adopt an integrated strategy, which involves a close collaboration between the patient and a multidisciplinary team of which pharmacists should be integral elements.

Objective: This work aims to identify and summarize the main effects of interventions carried out by clinical pharmacists in the management of patients with type 2 diabetes, considering clinical, humanistic and economic outcomes.

Methods: PubMed and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched for randomized controlled trials assessing the effectiveness of such interventions compared with usual care that took place in hospitals or outpatient facilities.

Results: This review included 39 studies, involving a total of 5,474 participants. Beneficial effects were observed on various clinical outcomes such as glycemia, blood pressure, lipid profile, body mass index and coronary heart disease risk. For the following parameters, the range for the difference in change from baseline to final follow-up between the intervention and control groups was: HbA1c, -0.05% to -2.1%; systolic blood pressure, +3.45 mmHg to -10.6 mmHg; total cholesterol, +10.06 mg/dL to -32.48 mg/dL; body mass index, +0.6 kg/m2 to -1.94 kg/m2; and coronary heart disease risk, -3.0% and -12.0% (among the studies that used Framinghan prediction method). The effect on medication adherence and health-related quality of life was also positive. In the studies that performed an economic evaluation, the interventions proved to be economically viable.

Conclusions: These findings support and encourage the integration of clinical pharmacists into multidisciplinary teams, underlining their role in improving the management of type 2 diabetes.

Aspergillus spp. é um fungo cosmopolita com grande ocorrência em regiões tropicais e subtropicais devido as condições climáticas favoráveis, como ocorre no Brasil. Os fungos apresentam maior relevância nas contaminações alimentares pela produção de micotoxinas, produzidas quando os alimentos são armazenados em más condições, em ambientes úmidos, sem ventilação adequada, ou com a presença de insetos e roedores que danificam os grãos e facilitam a proliferação dos fungos, como Aspergillus. Assim o objetivo deste estudo foi descrever a ocorrência do gênero Aspergillus e as patogenias associadas a presença de suas micotoxinas em alimentos. Além disso, demonstrar o importante papel do profissional nutricionista no controle de qualidade alimentar para garantir a segurança dos comensais. Para isso, foram consolidados dados disponíveis em bases de dados como LILACS, SCIELO, BVS e PUBMED, utilizando os seguintes descritores: Aflatoxinas, ocratoxinas e aspergilose, assim como os dados referente aos limites máximos tolerados (LMT) para Aflatoxinas e Ocratoxinas no Brasil, estabelecidos pela ANVISA através das RDC n. 7/2011 e RDC n. 138/2017. Desta forma, foi evidenciado a grande relevância das contaminações alimentares por fungos, que estima-se atingir cerca de 25% dos produtos agrícolas em todo o mundo. O gênero Aspergillus se destaca entre os fungos toxigênicos, principalmente a espécie A. flavus, uma vez que a sua toxina (Aflatoxina) é uma das mais frequentes nos casos de intoxicações alimentares por micotoxinas. Mas algumas espécies desse gênero também podem ocasionar infecções ao homem e animais, como a ocorrência de aspergilose, doença pulmonar que pode evoluir para a forma invasiva. Para a prevenção e controle desta e de outras contaminações alimentares é imprescindível a aplicação de ferramentas de controle de qualidade na produção de alimentos, sendo o profissional nutricionista é agente técnico capacitado para atuar tanto na indústria de alimentos como nos serviços e unidades de alimentação e nutrição.

Authors: Gansten Martin
Published: August 2020

A close examination of the lists of planetary exaltations given by two of the earliest known Sanskrit authors on horoscopic astrology – Mīnarāja and Sphujidhvaja – solves the confusion surrounding Mīnarāja’s idiosyncratic assignment of degrees and suggests that both authors, and indeed all later Indian astrological literature, depended for this doctrine on a single, Greek-language source.

Rice is a plant that has been intensively breed, especially in Asia, most of the population’s staple food is rice. There were Many types of rice varieties have been developed for high yeald production. Different rice diseases arise that many treat to reduce production. Such as curvularia spotting disease caused by the fungus Curvularia sp. Infection of Curvularia species causing leaf spots, leaf blights, kernel root, grain deformation and other diseases are well known globally. It was discovered that the small brown oval spots on the Ciherang rice variety cultivated in Bali, Indonesia was caused by Curvularia verruculosa. This disease could reduce the rice yield up to almost 50%. The application of commercial fungicide by the local farmers has not been satisfactorily successful in term of controlling the disease but instead bring damages to the environment and the soil as well. Farmer’s safety is also another serious issue. The current studi develop a natural and green fungicide to check the efficacy of Piper caninum extract against the fungi. Research in the laboratory uses a completely randomized design and research in the field uses a randomized group design.The method of making leaf extracts uses maceration method. Diffusion well technique showed a strong inhibition of the abstract against the C. verruculosa with 22mm inhibition. Zone with a total inhibition of 4% extract concentration. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was low of 0.5%. Scanning electron images of the treated fungi showed hollow and wrinkled mycelia morphology indicating lysis of the cell has occurred. P. caninum leaf extract at a concentration of 3% provides the highest obstacle to the intensity of C. verruculosa disease, whereas in the treatment of leaf extract concentration p. caninum 4% intensity of C. verrucuosa disease has decreased because rice plants are toxic at a concentration of 4%. Further research is needed regarding the treatment of P. caninum leaf extract against C. verruculosa in rice fields.

Published: August 2020

This study was aimed at investigating adaptive reasoning ability of junior high school students through the implementation of the creative problem solving model. This study employed a mixed-method approach using an embedded concurrent strategy. Thirty students were selected randomly as the sample from 180 Year 8 students, and six students were selected to be observed and further interviewed after the final test. The instruments used were a test and interview questions. The results showed that there was a significant increase in the students' ability between the pre-test and post-test. In addition, there was also an increase in the ability of the six students based on an adaptive reasoning rubric. The increase was more dominant for the first and fifth indicators while the increases of the second and fourth indicators varied. Some students were able to solve the problem based on the indicators, but it was incomplete due to miscalculation, and some students were lacking in the ability to find the pattern and drawing a correct conclusion as a result of the profound basic knowledge. In general, these results indicated that students were able to develop adaptive reasoning although the maximum score could not be achieved.The use of creative problem solving model to develop adaptive reasoning ability: Inductive, deductive and intuitive

Authors: Batista Sueli Soares dos Santos , Freire Emerson , Delgado Darlan Marcelo
Published: August 2020

O que significava criar instituições de ensino superior como centros tecnológicos formadores de tecnólogos no fim dos anos 1960? Que sentido foi dado a essa concepção ao longo da implementação e consolidação dos cursos superiores de tecnologia, considerando a internacionalização e a expansão da educação profissional e tecnológica? O presente estudo destaca a trajetória e o significado dos cursos superiores de tecnologia desde sua origem, passando por suas transformações ao longo do processo de expansão das redes de educação profissional e tecnológica nos anos 2000, quando houve uma ênfase nesses cursos como parte das estratégias nacionais de internacionalização da educação. A relevância do que se desenvolve neste artigo, enfatizando-se a experiência paulista, dá-se por conta dos poucos estudos relacionados a esses cursos enquanto modalidade de ensino superior e também porque as políticas educacionais pós-2016 sinalizam para uma reestruturação das universidades e o desmonte das condições para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa, colocando no centro das reformulações legais e disputas institucionais a ênfase na profissionalização e na internacionalização como estratégias de formação e fornecimento de mão de obra para o mercado de trabalho em escala global.

Authors: Carvalho Eliane Souza de , Real Giselle Cristina Martins
Published: August 2020

Este texto tem como objetivo analisar os indicativos de internacionalização consubstanciados na avaliação da pós-graduação em Educação. Trata-se de uma pesquisa documental, que tem como base de análise os Documentos de Área da Educação 2009, 2013, 2016 e 2019, bem como os respectivos Relatórios das Avaliações 2010, 2013 e 2017. A pesquisa evidenciou que a política nacional de educação superior está alinhada a uma agenda globalmente estruturada para educação (DALE, 2004), fazendo com que o processo de internacionalização deixe de ser uma opção e passe a ser obrigatoriedade para as universidades. A internacionalização tem ocupado um crescente espaço na política de avaliação da pós-graduação. Para além da produção intelectual, o que tem balizado a qualidade na pós-graduação são as ações de internacionalização, pois esta, além de ser elemento que distingue os programas 6 e 7, passou a compor a ficha avaliativa para o quadriênio 2017-2020, tornando-se um indicador de qualidade a ser considerado por todos os programas.

Authors: Farabi Ahmad , Abdullah Azrai
Published: August 2020

The main objective of this study is to examine how energy consumption, economic growth, population, and foreign direct investment (FDI) affects CO2 emissions in Indonesia and Malaysia. This study uses the longest and most updated annual data during the period 1960-2018. To get a deeper analysis, this study employs disaggregate of CO2 emissions and energy consumption data namely, oil, coal and natural gas. The ordinary least square which preceded by unit root test and classical assumption test are employed. The results show that all type of energy consumption affect positively to CO2 emission. Economic growth is identified as the variable with greatest influences on CO2 emissions in oil and natural gas model, while CO2 emissions from coal consumption are mainly affected by populations. The study concludes that economic growth of both countries relies heavily on fossil fuel. CO2 emission sourced from coal mostly affected by population due to the high demand of electricity from household fulfilled by power generation which use coal as the fuel. The EKC hypothesis is confirmed in the model of gas, indicate that natural gas is the most appropriate source of energy to be used at the certain level. Using natural gas is effectively decrease the CO2 emission while in the same time increase the economic growth. Natural gas is also found as the most environmentally friendly fossil fuel due as it produces less CO2 emission compared to oil and coal. The findings have important implications for policy makers in determining policy and business decisions especially to enhance environmentally friendly energy uses for the benefit of the economy.

The quality of drinks is one of the problems that exist in society, especially because of bacterial contamination of drinks that often occurs in developing countries. One of them is soy milk drinks that are contaminated by bacteria including those sold by street vendors in the Pogot area of Surabaya. Based on the background description in this study can be formulated as follows: Is the number of Most Probable Number (MPN) Coliform in soy milk sold by street vendors in the Pogot area of Surabaya fulfill the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 7388: 2009? The purpose of this study was to determine the amount of Coliform in soy milk sold by street vendors in the Pogot area of Surabaya compared to the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 7388: 2009 regarding the maximum limit of microbial contamination in food. This study used a descriptive study design that soy milk sold by street vendors in the Pogot area of Surabaya was the population. Samples were used as many as 16 samples from 4 street vendors, each of which was taken 4 then laboratory-tested and analyzed using percentages. Based on the requirements of the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 7388: 2009, the limit of contamination of the Most Probable Number (MPN) Coliform in soy milk is 20 / ml. Based on the results of the research of 4 soy milk traders there were 2 traders whose the results fulfilled the requirements of the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) and 2 traders whose the results didn't  fulfill the requirements of the Indonesian National Standard (SNI). So 50% were eligible (MS) and 50% were not eligible (TMS).

Authors: Van Leeuwen Lotta B.
Published: August 2020

Capping greenhouse gas emissions and reducing air pollution on the farm challenges the place of the diesel tractor in future sustainable vineyards. Tractors are responsible for the largest share of all CO2 emissions at vineyard plot scale, mostly resulting from pest and disease management and soil maintenance (Adoir et al., 2019). Electric vehicles will thus be required to meet climate change reduction goals. In this article, the characteristics of battery and hydrogen electric tractors are compared, and their potential in the grapevine growing sector is assessed.

Conclusion:

The patient progressed to full painless weight-bearing on each extremity by 4 months postoperatively with osseous union of both chronic fracture sites and incorporation of vascularized bone grafts. Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) scores were improved from preoperative levels at 6 months from each operation. This patient's atypical presentation of a rare disease was successfully treated with the utilization of vascularized bone grafting to salvage the tarsal navicular and preserve the talonavicular joint, enabling return of function and avoidance of early arthrodesis procedure.
Breastfeeding support at an Australian Breastfeeding Association drop-in service: a descriptive survey
Authors: Burns Elaine , Duursma Louise , Triandafilidis Zoi
Published: August 2020

BackgroundIn Australia, during the early establishment phase of breastfeeding, women can access telephone peer support counselling provided by the Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA) however options for face-to-face peer support are limited. The known factors which improve ongoing and exclusive breastfeeding include face-to-face support, peer and/or professional support, and trained personnel. This study aimed to examine women’s experiences of accessing one breastfeeding drop-in peer support service provided by trained peer support volunteer counsellors from the ABA.MethodsWomen who accessed the service were invited, in 2014, to participate in an anonymous online survey which collected both quantitative and qualitative data. Participants were asked about their experiences of breastfeeding support, as well as their experiences of the drop-in service. In total, 53 women completed the online survey, and subsequent analysis generated descriptive statistics and qualitative themes.ResultsResponses to the survey revealed that women attended the drop-in service with infants ranging in age from less than 1 week through to 12 months of age. Most women reported attending with infants aged 0-8 weeks of age (72%). The predominant presenting problems identified were sore/damaged nipples, difficulties with infant latching to the breast, or concerns about using nipple shields. Analysis of the open text qualitative responses revealed one overarching theme ‘Support to continue breastfeeding’ and four subthemes: ‘feeling listened to and not judged’; ‘emotional support and confidence building’; ‘the importance of face-to-face, practical support'; and ‘the need for ongoing, free access’.DiscussionIn this study many women were seeking support for ongoing breastfeeding difficulties. Health professionals who had limited breastfeeding knowledge and skills were identified as most unhelpful in providing support with ongoing breastfeeding difficulties. Women valued having access to trained peer counsellors, who had the capacity to provide non-judgemental, face-to-face support; who could sit through a feed; in a space that was ‘safe’; and who could enhance a woman’s confidence with breastfeeding over the course of her full breastfeeding journey. ConclusionReactive peer support, provided in response to need, at an Australian Breastfeeding Association drop-in service, was described by participants as pivotal to enabling their ongoing breastfeeding.Key words: Breastfeeding, Lactation, Peer support, Peer counsellor, Thematic analysis, Reactive support, Drop-in

Published: August 2020

BACKGROUND: Electrophysiological studies show that reductions in power within the alpha band are associated with the Alzheimer’s disease (AD) continuum. Physical activity (PA) is a protective factor that has proved to reduce AD risk and pathological brain burden. Previous research has confirmed that exercise increases power in the alpha range. However, little is known regarding whether other non-modifiable risk factors for AD, such as increased age or APOE ε4 carriage, alter the association between PA and power in the alpha band. METHODS: The relationship between PA and alpha band power was examined in a sample of 113 healthy adults using magnetoencephalography. Additionally, we explored whether ε4 carriage and age modulate this association. The correlations between alpha power and gray matter volumes and cognition were also investigated. RESULTS: We detected a parieto-occipital cluster in which PA positively correlated with alpha power. The association between PA and alpha power remained following stratification of the cohort by genotype. Younger and older adults were investigated separately, and only younger adults exhibited a positive relationship between PA and alpha power. Interestingly, when four groups were created based on age (younger-older adult) and APOE (E3/E3-E3/E4), only younger E3/E3 (least predicted risk) and older E3/E4 (greatest predicted risk) had associations between greater alpha power and higher PA. Among older E3/E4, greater alpha power in these regions was associated with improved memory and preserved brain structure. CONCLUSION: PA could protect against the slowing of brain activity that characterizes the AD continuum, where it is of benefit for all individuals, especially E3/E4 older adults.

Sable (Martes zibellina), a member of family Mustelidae, order Carnivora, is primarily distributed in the cold northern zone of Eurasia. The purpose of this study was to explore the intestinal flora of the sable by metagenomic library-based techniques. Libraries were sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 4000 instrument. The effective sequencing data of each sample was above 6,000 M, and the ratio of clean reads to raw reads was over 98%. The total ORF length was approximately 603,031, equivalent to 347.36 Mbp. We investigated gene functions with the KEGG database and identified 7,140 KEGG ortholog (KO) groups comprising 129,788 genes across all of the samples. We selected a subset of genes with the highest abundances to construct cluster heat maps. From the results of the KEGG metabolic pathway annotations, we acquired information on gene functions, as represented by the categories of metabolism, environmental information processing, genetic information processing, cellular processes and organismal systems. We then investigated gene function with the CAZy database and identified functional carbohydrate hydrolases corresponding to genes in the intestinal microorganisms of sable. This finding is consistent with the fact that the sable is adapted to cold environments and requires a large amount of energy to maintain its metabolic activity. We also investigated gene functions with the eggNOG database; the main functions of genes included gene duplication, recombination and repair, transport and metabolism of amino acids, and transport and metabolism of carbohydrates. In this study, we attempted to identify the complex structure of the microbial population of sable based on metagenomic sequencing methods, which use whole metagenomic data, and to map the obtained sequences to known genes or pathways in existing databases, such as CAZy, KEGG, and eggNOG. We then explored the genetic composition and functional diversity of the microbial community based on the mapped functional categories.

Background: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare disease with potential life-threatening risks. To study the natural course of HAE under therapy-free conditions throughout patient life is essential for practitioners and patients to avoid possible risk factors and guide treatment.Objectives: Describe the natural course of HAE and explore possible risk factors, providing new clues for guiding clinical prevention and treatment.Methods: A web-based survey was conducted in 103 Chinese patients with type 1 HAE. Disease progression at different age stages was provided by each participant. The data for exploring the natural course of HAE composed of two parts: one came from the participants who had never adopted any prophylactic drug for HAE; the other was from the patients with a history of medication, but only the periods before they got confirmed diagnosis and received medications were analyzed. The demographic characteristics, lifestyles, disease severity, and family history were also collected.Results: Among 103 patients, 14 (13.6%) had their first HAE attack before ten years old and 51 (49.5%) between 10 and 19. The disease worsened in 83.3% of the patients in their twenties. The proportion of patients with symptoms alleviated increased after the age of 30 years old, but the disease maintained relatively severe in most cases before 50. The participants also reported 233 members shared similar symptoms of angioedema in their family and 30 had died of laryngeal edema with the median death age of 46 years old. The disease severity was not observed to be affected significantly by gender, BMI, alcohol or smoking.Conclusions: We summarized HAE progression patterns under therapy-free conditions, showing the natural course of HAE development along with aging. Long-term prophylaxis and symptomatic treatment are recommended for all HAE patients, especially young and middle-aged and might be adjusted depending on the disease progression.

While the urban rail transit systems have been developed rapidly, the nearby heritage buildings and historic sites are facing possible threats of unexpected damages. In particular, a rail project has a potential impact on numerous heritage buildings and sites in an old city. Thus, to better protect these heritage buildings and sites, it is crucial for decision-makers to be able to rapidly and accurately evaluate these threats. Based on Set Pair Analysis (SPA) theory, this study developed a risk assessment model to assess the safety of heritage buildings adjacent to metro construction. In this model, the risk levels of adjacent heritage buildings are ranked. Moreover, this study establishes an assessment index system comprising 16 individual indexes among four categories related to heritage building, metro, soil, and management. The index system determines the interval values for each evaluation factor. To improve the reliability of the index weight, a linear weighting method was adopted. In this study, both subjective weights calculated via the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and objective weights calculated by the Clustering Weight Method (CWM) are analyzed comprehensively. Moreover, a case study was conducted by applying the proposed assessment model into assessing the structural safety risk of a heritage building adjacent to the Zhengzhou Metro Line Three. It was found the results of the proposed model were consistent with the Matter-Element (ME) method. The proposed model can be used to provide decision-making support for controlling risk on similar projects.

Background Unnecessary healthcare utilization, non-adherence to current clinical guidelines, or insufficient personalized care are perpetual challenges and remain potential major cost-drivers for healthcare systems around the world. Implementing decision support systems into clinical care is promised to improve quality of care and thereby yield substantial effects on reducing healthcare expenditure. In this article, we evaluate the economic impact of clinical decision support (CDS) interventions based on electronic health records (EHR).Methods We searched for studies published after 2014 using MEDLINE, CENTRAL, WEB OF SCIENCE, EBSCO, and TUFTS CEA registry databases that encompass an economic evaluation or consider cost outcome measures of EHR based CDS interventions. Thereupon, we identified best practice application areas and categorized the investigated interventions according to an existing taxonomy of front-end CDS tools. Results and discussion Twenty-seven studies are investigated in this review. Of those, twenty-two studies indicate a reduction of healthcare expenditure after implementing an EHR based CDS system, especially towards prevalent application areas, such as unnecessary laboratory testing, duplicate order entry, efficient transfusion practice, or reduction of antibiotic prescriptions. On the contrary, order facilitators and undiscovered malfunctions revealed to be threats and could lead to new cost drivers in healthcare. While high upfront and maintenance costs of CDS systems are a worldwide implementation barrier, most studies do not consider implementation cost. Finally, four included economic evaluation studies report mixed monetary outcome results and thus highlight the importance of further high-quality economic evaluations for these CDS systems. Conclusion Current research studies lack consideration of comparative cost-outcome metrics as well as detailed cost components in their analyses. Nonetheless, the positive economic impact of EHR based CDS interventions is highly promising, especially with regard to reducing waste in healthcare.
