Outcome of High Foetal Station in Primigravida With Vertex Presentation at Term - A Clinical Study in a Tertiary Care Center
Authors: Dashrathi Rucha , Kathaley Manasi
Published: March 2022

Introduction: There is an uncertain relationship between foetal station and mode of delivery. The rise in the rates of caesarean section in unengaged head in primigravida is due to the reason that high foetal station which is considered as a threat to normal progress of labor and so immediately considered as an indication to early caesarean section. A vigilant attitude and timely intervention can help in decreasing chances of C-section and help such cases deliver vaginally. Aims and Objectives: To study the outcome of unengaged head in full term primigravida in labor. 1. To evaluate the causes of unengaged head and analyse progress of labour. 2. To assess maternal and foetal outcome. Material and Methods: 124 Primigravidae at term with unengaged foetal head in labor were undertaken in the study after they met eligibility criteria. After history taking and clinical examination, course of their labor was monitored partographically to study the maternal and neonatal outcome. Results: Out of 124 patients, 84 (67.74%) patients had vaginal delivery while in 40 (32.26%) Lower Segment Caesarean Section (LSCS) was performed. Out of 84 vaginal deliveries, 64 patients had full term normal deliveries while 20 patients needed assisted instrumental deliveries. Thus, out of 124 deliveries, 64 (51.61%) had normal vaginal deliveries, 20 (16.12%) instrumental deliveries and 40 (32.25%) Caesarean sections. Conclusion: We can imply that primigravida at term with high foetal station with spontaneous onset of labor are not all for immediate caesarean section. Watchful expectancy, vigilant intrapartum partographic monitoring can result into normal vaginal delivery with minimal maternal and foetal complications.

Published: March 2022

Introduction: Phimosis is Inability to retract prepuce. At birth the foreskin is normally adherent to the glans penis. Incidence of pathological phimosis is 0.6%. Circumcision is a very old procedure. Any technique for surgery can be applied but rate of morbidity should be low. Materials and Methods: Study conducted in Department of surgery of a tertiary care hospital. Data collection of selected patients with relevant history, clinical examination, appropriate investigation and surgical intervention were included. Results: Study was conducted with 116 subjects with mean age of 3.1 years with surgery done by the dorsal slit method and mean age of 3.7 years by plastibell method. The average duration for dorsal slit procedure to complete is 15.7 minutes and for plastibell is 12.2 minutes. Mean blood loss occurred in dorsal slit method is 9.0 while that in plastibell is 6.0. Frequency of surgical site infection in dorsal slit method is 5.2% while that in plastibell method is 6.9%. Post-operative heamorrhage seen in dorsal slit method is 5.2% while that in plastibell is 1.7%. 89.7% of parents satisfied with dorsal slit method while 96.6% parents were satisfied with modified plastibell method. Conclusion: Study showed that plastibell has advantage of shorter time for surgery and relatively lower risk of post-operative bleeding when compared with dorsal slit method of circumcision. The cosmetic outcome as judged by parental satisfaction was also better with plastibell technique.

Published: March 2022

Background: Thrombocytopenia is found to complicate pregnancies in India. The major function of platelets is the initiation of haemostasis. Thrombocytopenia can result in spontaneous bleeding from any part of the body. It may be associated with serious bleeding at delivery and may require emergent maternal and neonatal care. Introduction: After anaemia, thrombocytopenia is the most frequently occurring hematologic disorder in pregnancy. It is found to complicate 7% to 8% of pregnancies in India. The major function of platelets is the initiation of haemostasis, and hence, thrombocytopenia can result in spontaneous bleeding from any part of the body. It may be associated with serious bleeding at delivery and may require emergent maternal and neonatal care. Thrombocytopenia is diagnosed if the platelet count 150 × 109/l, caused by increased platelet lysis or reduced inefficient production. Aims & Objectives: To study the maternal and fetal outcome of thrombocytopenia in pregnancy and to study some of the causes of thrombocytopenia in pregnancy. Methodology: Total 113 cases with maternal thrombocytopenia were included in present study after satisfying inclusion and exclusion criteria and followed till delivery. We studied maternal complications gestational age at delivery, indication of induction of labour and method (if required) and mode of delivery, NICU stay were recorded. Results: Majority of the patients i.e. 63 patients (55.8%) were in the age group of 20-25 years. Among 113 cases; primigravida (56 cases, 49.6%) and multigravida (57 cases, 50.4%) were almost equally distributed. Majority of the study population was diagnosed with Gestational thrombocytopenia 50.4% followed by severe pre-eclampsia 22.12%, HELLP syndrome 8.8%, abruption 5.3% antepartum eclampsia and dengue 2.7% each. Maternal mortality was seen in 2 cases (1.8%). Mean birth weight was found to be 2.45 Kgs. of 113 babies, neonatal mortality was seen in 15 cases, NICU admission was indicated in 18 babies and KMC care was needed for 1 baby. Conclusion: The most common cause of thrombocytopenia during pregnancy is Gestational Thrombocytopenia (GT) followed by pre-eclampsia, eclampsia and HELLP syndrome. With platelet counts above 70,000/ μLno prior history of thrombocytopenia the condition is more likely to be GT. The lack of well-defined symptomatology and clinical presentation makes early and accurate diagnosis difficult leading to delay in treatment.

Published: March 2022

Background: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) accounts for significant healthcare costs, emotional distress and significant impact on quality of life of women. Even though a fairly common problem it is a complex trait with unclear etiology. The present study was conducted to study various clinical presentations in the adolescent girls with polycystic ovarian syndrome having menstrual irregularities. Aims and Objectives: To study the anthropometric measurements among PCOS patients and to find the association of various risk factors. Material and Methods: It was an observational, cross-sectional study conducted in Out-patient department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at a tertiary healthcare center in Maharashtra. This study was conducted amongst the adolescent girls coming to the OPD of Obstetrics and Gynecology with irregular menses. Results: We evaluated the study subjects according to the Rotterdam’s criteria. We observed that 51.96% cases fulfilled two of the three criteria, while 29.13% cases fulfilled all the three criteria from Rotterdam’s criteria for PCOS. Oligomenorrhea was noted among 46.45% subjects, followed by hypomenorrhea among 32.28% cases. Primary amenorrhea was observed among 21.25% cases. Secondary amenorrhea was seen as the presenting symptom in 4.72% cases. Conclusions: Adolescents who had irregular menses and signs of increased androgen secretion should undergo investigations and must be treated. Prompt treatment following early diagnosis of PCOS helps improve quality of life in young adolescent girls.

Published: March 2022

Introduction: Head injury or traumatic brain injury is defined as non-degenerative, non-congenital insult to the brain from an external mechanical force, possibly leading to permanent or temporary impairment of cognitive, physical, and psychosocial functions. It is a leading cause of morbidity, mortality, disability, and socio-economic losses in India and other developing countries. Young males are affected more than females and road traffic accident is the commonest cause of head injury. Materials and Methods: We studied patients who presented with head injury to a tertiary health care centre from ages 18 years to 60 years. Clinical profile was studied which included clinical examination and CT scan of brain. Severity of head injury was evaluated on admission by Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and functional outcome was assessed by Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) at 10th day, 1 month and 3 months after injury. Results: Study was conducted with 200 patients. Most of the patients with head injury were males (79.5%) and peak incidence was in the age group 31–40 years. The commonest cause of head injury was road traffic accidents (72.5%). Most common presentation was loss of consciousness (49%). On admission, GCS score was found to be mild, moderate, and severe in 77%, 9%, and 14.5% patients. Severe GCS score was mostly associated with subdural hematoma in 21.5% patients and also contributes to 82.5% mortality. Fractures (43%) were the commonest CT finding. 12.5% were treated with surgery. Overall mortality was 12.2%. GOS was calculated on 10th day, at the end of 1 month and at the end of 3 months. At the end of 3 months, 87% patients showed complete recovery, 0.5% patients showed moderate disability, 0.5% showed severe disability, 0% showed vegetative state and 12.2% was the mortality. There was considerable improvement in GOS scores with respect to disability and recovery from 10th day to follow-up at 3 months post trauma. Conclusion: GCS score on admission and the type of CT lesion are both important factors in determining the outcome, and both must be considered when describing severely head injured patients. GOS is a good modality to predict functional outcome of these patients and assess their recovery and disability.

Authors: Bhamre Sudhir , Tiwari Anuj
Published: March 2022

Introduction: Incompetent valves of deep, superficial or perforating veins lead to varicose veins. Dilated, elongated or tortuous subcutaneous veins of lower legs are a manifestation of increase in venous pressure. This increase in venous pressure results from the reflux of blood due to incompetence. The diseased Great Saphenous Vein (GSV) is removed by High Saphenous Ligation and Stripping (HLS) surgery. Aims and Objectives: To study the clinical and socio-demographic profile, precipitating factors/ risk factors, complications and clinical outcomes of management of varicose veins. Material and Methods: Data collected from 150 patients with varicose veins by appropriate history taking and clinical examination, relevant radiological and laboratory investigations and follow-up of cases to study the clinical outcome. Results: Study was conducted with 150 patients. Most common age group affected with primary varicose veins was between 41-60 yrs of age with male predominance (64.7%). Most of the cases in present study were engaged in work involving long standing hours i.e. farming (34%) and housewives (28%). Most common presenting complaints were oedema (88%), dilated veins (74%) and pain (71.3%). Conservative management was tried in all cases while Trendelenburg operation and SPJ ligation was done in 26.7% and 9.3% cases. Stripping and PERF ligation was done in 28.7% and 25.3% cases respectively. A total of 24.7% were lost to follow up. By the end of 6 month, quality of life improved in 70% cases. By the end of 6 month, symptoms improved in 72.5% cases while it disappeared in 26.5% cases. Conclusion: Males have been found to have larger incidence than females. They are mostly affected in their fourth and fifth decade of life. Ulceration and pain are the frequent findings in this condition. Compression stocking has beneficial effects if prolonged standing cannot be avoided during work hours. Trendelenburg operation with flush ligation with subfascial or extra fascial stripping is the definitive management and shows significant clinical improvement.

Published: March 2022

Background: Thyroid hormone has a major role in the cardiovascular function and cardiac hemodynamics as well as to maintain the cardiovascular homeostasis. The present study was planned to assess risk factors for coronary artery disease and their correlation with thyroid hormone profile amongst women with ST segment elevation in acute myocardial infraction. Material and Methods: A total number of 78 females having ST elevation myocardial infarction diagnosed through detailed clinical history and ECG evaluations were included after they satisfy the eligibility criteria. Patients were subsequently evaluated for presence of risk factors of ischemic heart disease such age, marital status, parity, and menopause, use of oral contraceptives, family history, obesity, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia. Their thyroid hormone profiles (T3, T4, TSH) were done and were correlated with risk factors for ischemic heart disease. Results: A total 78 patient included in the study most of the study population belongs to the age group of 40 to 50 years (43.6 %). Hypertension was the most common clinical features amongst study population (59%) followed by Diabetes (50%). Most of the study population had Normal Thyroid status (57.69%) followed by Hypothyroidism (25.64%) and Hyperthyroidism (16.67%) and SERUM TSH is the most sensitive test for evaluation. Diabetes Mellitus was statistically significant risk factor (p value<0.05) in patients with STEMI with different levels of thyroid. Conclusion: Patients with coronary artery disease especially in the presence of other risk factors should be screened for thyroid dysfunction specially diabetes. We recommend tests for thyroid disorders in acute coronary syndrome can give predictor for risk of morbidity and mortality in those subjects.

Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a common, preventable and treatable disease that is characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation that is due to airway and/or alveolar abnormalities usually caused by significant exposure to noxious particles or gases. HT and DM have been recognized to coexist with COPD. Several risk factors have been associated with HT and DM in people with COPD: Smoking, systemic inflammation, obesity and physical inactivity. Objective: To estimate Prevalence of diabetes and hypertension in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases amongst study participants. Material and Method: The Cross-sectional study was conducted on 161 diagnosed COPD patients from August 2017 to December 2019 in Department of Respiratory Medicine Medical College and Tertiary Health Care Institute Nashik was included. Written informed consent was taken from all study participants and those who gave consent were enrolled in the present study. Result: Out of 161 COPD patients, prevalence of hypertension was 45.96% while prevalence of DM was 22.36%. The Highest prevalence of DM in Female (33.33%), HTN in Male (48%) and both DM and HTN in Female (8.33%), active smokers were mostly associated with DM and/or HTN. In stage IV (71), DM, HTN and both DM and HTN were recorded in maximum no. of cases, whereas in patients of Stage I - COPD least level were found. Increase association of DM and/or HTN increases with severity of obstruction. Conclusion: Prevalence of HTN was recorded more than DM. DM and HTN were found to be more prevalence in severe and very severe COPD patients. The COPD patients should be screened for DM and HTN at the time of diagnosis to prevent DM and/or HTN related complications in COPD patients.

Published: March 2022

Introduction: Fibrous Dysplasia (FD) is a fibro-osseous lesion of the osseous structures of the body. The exact etiology is not known. Monostotic (when one bone is involved), polyostotic (when multiple bones are involved) and craniofacial are the three subtypes of craniofacial dysplasia. When the lesions are limited to contiguous bones of the craniofacial skeleton, it is termed as craniofacial dysplasia. McCune Albright syndrome is the triad of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, Cafe aulait spots and endocrine pathology. Case Report: This case describes craniofacial dysplasia in a 30 year old female patient who had unusual presentation on the right side of the face involving maxilla, sphenoid, ethmoid and orbit. The clinical features, radiological findings and treatment have been discussed.

Published: March 2022

How is the dependency spiral triggered? It might start by looking either for pleasure or escape. In either case, the time spent in front of a screen leads to a pleasant, dopamine-mediated experience. The desire to repeat the use is further fuelled by the physiological process of tolerance and addiction. This is how things unfold in screen dependence (mass-media) when socialization, games, movies are concerned. Things look entirely different when the need for information is taken into consideration. What is the need for information’s threshold? Information is not the same thing as the learning process. The fourth power in the state is the MEDIA. In mass-media, information relies on amazement, emotional shock, fear. Media feeds on powerful emotions. Are we all victims of such emotions? As of December 2019, until the present, mass-media information focused on the medical and social issue of the coronavirus pandemics. How have we been affected by this information? What was its impact on our anxiety? How was the perception on reality of the people who had the disease altered? In order to get a few answers, we applied a series of questionnaires to a batch of 30 people who had the SARS COV2 infection and to a batch of 20 people who haven’t yet contracted the virus.
Used material:
- Coronavirus anxiety questionnaire www.researchcentral.ro
- Mass-media dependency questionnaire www.researchcentral.ro
- SRGS posttraumatic development scale; Crystal Park, Lawrence Cohen and Renee Murch
The summarized data indicates that the people from the batch who was infected with cu SARS COV2 have a high anxiety level, a minimum level of mass-media dependency and a maximum SRGS level. In the batch of people who have not contracted the disease, the majority has a medium towards maximum anxiety level, minimum mass-media dependency. The people in both batches unanimously asserted they felt oversaturated with the media information, although a year ago they could have declared themselves as addicted to such type of information. Considering that the questioned people suffered minimum manifestation forms of the disease, the high scores obtained in SRGS could only be justified if this disease were correlated to a major psychic disease.

Published: March 2022

Psychological evaluation of women with suspected or diagnosed breast cancer can provide psychooncological elements for predicting the evolution of the disease and imperative customization of specific oncological therapies. In this study, we assessed the psychological status in terms of depression, anxiety and dysfunctional attitudes in both the group of patients with a confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer and that of patients with suspected breast cancer who are in the stage of histopathological evaluation of the diagnosis. The results of the psychometric evaluations allowed the development of a common neurobiological model for the two categories of patients. Given the staging model of breast cancer, the clinical and psychometric data obtained through our study allowed us to develop an integrative neurobiological model based on the evolutionary staging of anxiety and depressive disorders (Zhao et al., 2013). Based on these hypotheses, we argue that the staging of psychological disorders, the customization of specific psychotherapeutic prophylaxis strategies and the prudent pharmacological approach to these psychological changes can significantly improve the evolution and prognosis of cancer and the quality of life of patients. The state of relative psychoemotional balance (objectified by psychometric scales), without its validation by normalizing multisystemic biological indicators of depression (C-reactive protein, proinflammatory cytokines, blood-brain barrier disruption and cerebral blood flow decrease), suggests the risk of progression of the neoplastic process. We argue that when communicating the diagnosis and the therapeutic plan, a special methodology (specific protocol) must be applied to reduce distress, correct emotional balance and improve cognitive dysfunction by supporting the motivation to survive, as well as increasing patients' self-esteem.

Published: March 2022

Schizophrenia is a chronic psychiatric disease that affects approximately 1% of the global population. Schizophrenia is characterised by positive, negative and cognitive symptoms. The etiological factors of this psychiatric illness are not fully deciphered, but the most incriminated are genetic factors and environmental risk factors.
The treatment of schizophrenia has the role of reduction the duration and intensity of episodes and consists in the administration of typical or atypical antipsychotic drugs, antiparkinsonian, anxiolytic, sedatives or antidepressants. Of these, some of the drugs may have side effects that modify patients' salivary flow rates.
Xerostomy is a subjective sign characterized by a dry mouth sensation and is caused by hypofunction of the salivary glands. According to a series of studies, xerostomia can be an adverse effect of typical antipsychotic medication as well as antiparkinsonian medication. Sialorrhea is caused by hyperfunction of the salivary glands and is characterized by an increased secretion of saliva. This side effect is especially noticeable during the night sleep. Alteration of salivary function creates increased discomfort to the schizophrenic patient, which causes him to give up regular medication.
The aim of this study is to review the literature on the link between schizophrenia, the treatment of schizophrenia and impaired salivary function.

Published: March 2022

The article reveals issues related to formation of moral self-awareness in the process of psychological counselling. The meaning of the concepts: “consciousness”, “moral”, “moral self-awareness”, “counselling”, “psychology”, “psychological counselling” is clarified. A classification of psychological counselling is presented. A review of literature by domestic and foreign researchers on fostering moral self-awareness in adolescents is made. It is investigated that the American psychologist Hall (1904) first covered the issue of formation of moral self-consciousness in adolescents. It is determined that the functions of moral self-consciousness include self-control, self-perception, self-approval, self-understanding, self-improvement. It is found that scientists distinguish 2 types of self-awareness: subjective and objective. It is emphasized that self-awareness is the ability to clearly and realistically evaluate one’s behavior. The moral self-consciousness of adolescents with high, medium and low levels of self-esteem is considered. In addition, emphasis is placed on the fact that moral traits are the factors that shape a person. It has been found that moral self-awareness is based on the following factors: cognitive, emotional and behavioral. It is noted that the ability to communicate plays an important role in formation of moral self-awareness. The signs that prompt a teenager think about visiting a psychologist have been identified. It is proved that knowledge about one’s strengths in moral self-awareness helps adolescents to form their own moral well-being. It is found that conducting simulation games by a psychologist during a group training allows a specialist to determine the level of moral self-awareness of an adolescent, as well as to form strong moral virtues. It is proved that a game helps to conduct an effective psychological counselling, because a child feels comfortable, relaxed, openly shares thoughts and feelings. A remote form of psychological counseling is considered. It is emphasized that a psychologist works with a teenager, as well as with his/her parents. It was found that psychological counseling comprises a diagnostic and a therapeutic part.
Social Resets and Suicides during Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Corbeanu Dan-Constantin , Antohe Magda , Ciubară Anamaria
Published: March 2022

Introduction. Well-known as a public health problem, suicide is known to cause many deaths during periods of economic and social unrest. Through the social changes imposed by the political and medical actors, the society knows old challenges, but also some completely new ones, which seem to influence the suicidal behavior among the population.
Aim. The paper tries to present the effects of anti-Covid-19 social measures, especially those decided by the Romanian authorities between March 2020 and March 2021, on mental health and suicidal behavior. Also, by assessing the public policy intentions expressed publicly in European leadership circles for the medium-term future, we wanted to identify the impact on lifestyle and suicidal behaviour.
Materials and method. The paper uses the medical literature in order to identify traditional or new risk factors for suicide, introduced into society by SARS-Cov-2 and the social restrictions that accompanied it. Also, sources from the domestic and international media are used to evaluate the future announced social resets and the possible impact on the suicidal behavior among the Romanian population.
Results. The feeling of induced fear and the change of some social routines, imposed by the political factors in the context of the Covid-19 virus, are supposed to be accompanied by increases in the suicide rate. The new economic challenges and social antagonisms, predictable for the near future, bring with them the risk of increasing suicidal behavior among the world's population and Romania.
Conclusion. In various countries, suicide rates have risen during the pandemic. New social measures are announced in authoritarian tones, with no intention of assessing the impact on the mental health of the population. The implementation of these innovative measures should be done only after balancing the psychological and psychiatric impact. The alternative could be the emergence of new epidemics of mental illness and suicide, which can unbalance society, as has never happened before.

Healthcare workers (HCWs) are important players in the COVID-19 pandemic management and are inescapably in the first line to be exposed to the SARS CoV-2 virus. They were at risk of losing their lives while caring for their duty for COVID patients. This pandemic has substantial psychological impact on HCWs. This study describes the prevalence of burnout between HCWs handle with COVID-19 pandemic. The study explored the level of burnout in this population and examined factors involved in development of this psychological consequence. This cross-sectional survey was conducted on personnel from an Infectious Diseases monospecialty Hospital, which provides care for COVID-19 patients. The study was attended at 12 months after the outbreak. A questionnaire- based survey using Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) was conducted for all personnel. Participation was voluntary and anonymous. Age, gender, job category and the level of burnout in each subscale was measured. 186 persons completed the questionnaire (79%from employees). 61.86% experienced medium and high levels of burnout comparable with other country studies. The mean score and SD in emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and lack of personal accomplishment were 23.26+8.45, 11.11+4.05, and 22.62+6.83, respectively. The prevalence of burnout in the hospital`s personnel was 38.179% in low rates, 46.77% had medium level and 15.05% high level. Doctors and administrative staff were more affected than others. Nevertheless, there are no significant statistical differences in the level of the three domains of burnout studied regarding the age and job profile. In conclusion, in our hospital, designated to treat moderate and severe COVID-19 patients burnout is equally present among HCWs.

Published: March 2022

Inflated self-esteem provokes goal setting higher than the real possibilities, neglect of the necessary information, reduction of the probability of failure, minimization of efforts to achieve the goal, "relaxing" effect of success and a strong emotional experience of failure; the need to maintain the level of self-esteem leads to a protective ignoring of failures, the explanation of their external causes, which weakens the incentive to overcome them. Sharply inflated self-esteem can create at a certain stage of activity a zone of constant failures, reduced professional motivation. The consequence of low self-esteem is passivity, fear of responsibility, tendency to set too easy tasks, underestimation of the subjective probability of success, which disrupts the impact of failures. Obviously, the inadequacy of self-esteem becomes an obstacle to professional adaptation. As evidenced by our observations, it is characteristic that coaches who do not have a sufficient level of competence in the management of subordinates, have an inflated self-esteem. But also adequate high self-esteem, which is spontaneously formed in the process of professional training, can become a disorganizing factor, if it is not critically transferred from educational to professional activities. In this case, entering a professional activity, which is already characterized by a decrease in the stability of self-esteem, is complicated by its strong fluctuations. In addition, we found that there is no significant correlation between learning success and success in starting a professional activity. High self-esteem of a young specialist is often an obstacle to his acceptance into the team. The creative adaptive component, which prevails over the conformal one, is an interference at this stage.

Authors: Nguyen Minh Huyen Trang
Published: March 2022

Along with the general trend in the world, international migration activities of Vietnamese citizens are increasing rapidly with millions of people entering and leaving the country each year and Vietnamese living in more than 100 countries and territories around the globe. Vietnam ranks 8th among the countries with the most international students in the world. In the trend of globalization, to get closer to “world civilization,” studying abroad is the choice of many Vietnamese families. Many parents have grasped the trend of studying abroad to create conditions for their children to come close to the “paradise” education of developed countries. Studying abroad is an opportunity, it opens up a whole new horizon full of hope for changes, promising a better life in the future. The 4th industrial revolution and the strong digital transformation process create the need to fundamentally change the strategy and method of organizing science and technology training and research. Along with the process of integration and internationalization, the tendency of brain drain, especially for highly qualified young cadres, is going to be a big challenge for domestic universities. Besides, the capacity to train high-quality human resources, high-level research capacity, and innovation capacity will be a measure of the universities’ level, and at the same time, a measure of competitiveness for each country. The strongly innovative global economy is creating “brain circulation” or “brain chain” instead of “brain drain,” in which talented people return to their homeland with capital, skills, and knowledge along with many relationships with multinational enterprises as well as technology systems to contribute to the development of the country. The article presents some comments on the educational migration status of Vietnam and proposes some solutions to create favorable conditions for the Vietnamese community abroad to return home and play its role in the country’s development.

Authors: Nguyen Minh Ngoc
Published: March 2022

The Vietnamese community currently living and working in Eastern European countries is a large community. For the host countries, this is a closed community with many mysteries about how to behave in life and work. Although 100% of these communities have to rent or buy houses to live in Europe, there is no research on issues related to this behavior. Factors influencing this behavior from a real estate market perspective are of interest to local businesses and indigenous people. The article uses the method of practical experience, expert interviews, and a review of scientific documents with three impacts: behavioral psychology, the migration policy of the Republic of Poland, and security factors. These are the most obvious impacts on this community’s decision to rent and buy a house. From the research results, the author has proposed solutions for stakeholders who are real estate investment and business enterprises, legislators, and social managers to better solve the relationship of housing for Vietnamese households’ community in Poland in particular, and in the world in general. In which, the most important issues are traditionally security, social and psychological harmony. The limitation of the article is that three factors are selected according to the author’s subjective will with many years of experience as a housing broker in Warsaw.

Authors: Nadezhdin Alexander
Published: March 2022

The article is dedicated to the current migration situation in Germany. In terms of foreign policy, the author analyses Berlin's approaches to a migration regulation amid growing external pressure on the EU. In fact, Germany is again in the eye of the storm due to the increasing number of potential refugees from troubled regions, including the flow of migrants from Belarus to Poland, and expanding secondary migration. Germany's activities, which are aimed at finding solutions to current challenges (situation in Afghanistan, Belarus, etc.) confirm its interest in shaping new directions of migration policy as a coordinating force of the EU. As for domestic policy, the author studies the relationship between migration processes and electoral campaigns in Germany. Emphasis is made on the German federal election, which ends Merkel's almost 16-year tenure. The article dwells upon a modern party landscape with a focus on Alternative for Germany and suggests possible scenarios for internal political changes related to a migration factor. The topical issues of the migration agenda, which must be solved by the new federal government, are raised in the context of demographic transformations in the society, the COVID-19 pandemic and other developments. The findings and conclusions of this article are of interest to scientists, experts as well as to the representatives of state authorities, which develop and implement migration policy.

Labor Migration from Mongolia and Uzbekistan: New Trends and Approaches to Regulation
Authors: Tuvshintugs Adiya , Imideeva Irina , Purevzul Purevsuren , Ryazantsev Nikita
Published: March 2022

The article discusses trends and approaches to the regulation of labor migration in two countries of Eurasia – the Republic of Uzbekistan and Mongolia – in a comparative aspect. The research highlights factors contributing to the development of labor emigration from the states, including demographic, socio-political and economic factors. Mongolia and Uzbekistan have similar socio-economic and demographic development conditions. They are at approximately the same stage of the demographic transition, have a fairly young population age structure, are labor-surplus countries, and are ready to export labor resources abroad. These factors make them active migratory donors. A significant number of labor migrants including young people are looking for employment opportunities abroad. Migrants are mostly heading for more developed neighboring countries: Uzbeks go to the Russian Federation, and Mongols – to the Republic of Korea. Given the importance of labor migration in the socio-economic development of both countries, on the part of the governments there are quite active steps towards giving the processes of labor emigration an organized and documented character. The authorities of the Republic of Uzbekistan facilitate the opening of pre-departure training centers by receiving countries, conclude intergovernmental agreements on organized labor recruitment in key destination states. The Mongolian authorities are more focused on the organizational and legal issues of bringing labor migration into a documented channel. Both countries have developed an approach to understanding labor migration as a factor in the sustainable development of society and the state. In this regard, the migration policy of Mongolia and Uzbekistan is built around finding solutions for the optimal regulation of labor migration in the interests of national development.
Emigration from Vietnam and Remittances Management
Authors: Nguyen Dac Hung
Published: March 2022

The migration of Vietnamese people abroad to live and do business there is associated with the transfer of money back home to relatives and family members, which is commonly known as remittances. Over the past 100 years, Vietnam has witnessed many waves of population migration abroad with many different causes and conditions. As a result of Vietnamese migration abroad, remittances increased. Remittances make up a considerable part of Vietnam’s GDP, and they are not only an important source of income for many families but also an important source of foreign currency capital to ensure the balance of payments. In general, remittances contribute significantly to promoting the economic and socio-economic growth of developing countries like Vietnam. In the context of the current trend of economic integration and globalization, the fact that Vietnamese people migrate abroad, live and do business there transferring money back home is a positive point for the country. Taking into account the important role of remittances, accurate identification of their sources is extremely important for appropriate management solutions. The article builds some general theoretical bases on migration and remittances, analyzes the major trends in Vietnamese migration abroad over the past 50 years, and clarifies the current situation with the money transfers from migrants. Also, the author makes some recommendations on managing migration on remittances.
