THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON THE FUNCTIONING OF A COMMERCIAL BANK
Authors: Болдырев Д.А.
Published: December 2023

В статье затрагивается проблема влияния климатических изменений на работу коммерческих банков. Рассмотрены последствия рисков перехода к низкоуглеродной экономике и рисков физических последствий климатических изменений. Автор отмечает, что банки рассматривают риски изменения климата в синергии с другими рисками – кредитным, рыночным, операционным. Приводятся возможные последствия для банка по каждому из названных рисков. Автор отмечает, что в обществе нет консенсуса по поводу воздействия глобального потепления на экономику. По оценкам Министерства по делам гражданской обороны, чрезвычайным ситуациям и ликвидации последствий стихийных бедствий (МЧС России) последствия для России могут быть крайне негативными, а по мнению Министерства науки и высшего образования РФ влияние климатических изменений на экономику, наоборот, не будет ощутимым. Тем не менее, изменение климата является для банков риск-фактором, который необходимо учитывать. В статье приводятся нормативно-правовые акты, на которые коммерческие банки могут опираться при принятии решения об учёте климатических рисков. Автор также выделяет возможности для банков, вызванные интересом к вопросу климатических рисков.

The article touches upon the problem of the impact of climate change on the work of commercial banks. The consequences of the risks of transition to a low-carbon economy and the risks of the physical consequences of climate change are considered. The author notes that banks consider the risks of climate change in synergy with other risks – credit, market, operational. The possible consequences for the bank for each of these risks are given. The author notes that there is no consensus in society about the impact of global warming on the economy. According to the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the consequences for Russia can lead to very negative consequences, and according to the Ministry of Science of the Russian Federation, the impact of climate change on the economy will not be noticeable. However, climate change is a risk factor for banks that needs to be taken into account. The article provides regulatory legal acts on which commercial banks can rely when making a decision on taking into account climate risks. The author also highlights the opportunities for banks caused by interest in the issue of climate risks.

Education as an Instrument for Ensuring the Participation of Women in Politics for the Attainment of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) on Gender Equality: Empirical Lessons from Bafut in the North West Region of Cameroon
Authors: Mengnjo Tardzenyuy Thomas , Manka’a Afanwi Mfomujong
Published: December 2023

Purpose: This write-up has been provoked by the gender disparity which prevails in political participation between men and women. While noting that women's participation in politics is low as compared to that of men, the article has been premised on the hypothesis that education is the only instrument that can ensure equal participation of women and men in politics. 

Materials and Methods: Methodologically, the write up relied on the descriptive research design. While relying on this design, the sample size was 380 women in Bafut. These women were randomly sampled and administered questionnaires, with a response rate of 81.84% (311). Data were also collected through secondary sources from published and unpublished books. In this light, data collected through questionnaires were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), while qualitative data obtained from secondary sources were analyzed contently, by extracting relevant data to support the research questions

Findings: While relying on empirical observations from Bafut in the North West Region of Cameroon, it is evident that women’s participation in politics is significantly influenced by their level of education. The more education of women is the more the likelihood they are to participate in political activities, such as membership in political parties, voting, attending campaign rallies, petitioning an official, and attending a protest or strike action.

Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: This article has resolved that for Goal 5 of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of gender equality in political participation to be attainable; there is an urgent need for the government, municipal authorities, the civil society, and local traditional authorities to harness all avenues to foster the education of women and their political knowledge.

Authors: Olawore O. P. , Olufawo H. S , Adesanya A. O , Oduwole W. K., , Ochonogor R. N.
Published: December 2023

Purpose: Studies across developed and emerging economies alluded to the persistent decline in the performance of oil and gas marketing firms, which had been attributed to both micro-economic and macro-economic factors. The objective of the study was to determine the effect of supply chain disruptions on market performance of selected oil and gas marketing companies in Lagos State, Nigeria.

Materials and Methods: The study adopted a survey research design. The total population of the study was 1,044 full-time employees of five selected oil and gas marketing companies in the downstream sector of the petroleum industry in Nigeria. The study sampled three hundred and sixty-two (362) respondents, who participated in the study. Stratified random sampling method was adopted, because it ensures less homogeneity, and a true representative of the sample, thereby the accuracy of statistical results can be higher than that of simple random sampling. Structured questionnaire was used to collect the primary data from the sample size. The research targeted 362 respondents in the survey, while 322 copies of the questionnaire administered were filled and returned. Therefore, the response rate was 91.7%.

Findings: The three independent variables that were studied, explained 4.8% of the market performance as represented by adjusted R-square. This, therefore, meant that other variables not studied in this research contributed 95.2% of the market performance.

Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study recommended that oil and gas marketing companies should increase their commitment to adopting scenario planning and supply chain mapping strategies, in order to mitigate risks threatening their supply chains, in order to accomplish better performance.

Authors: Seidner Márton
Published: December 2023

The relationship between the European Union (focus on the V4 countries – Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary) and Israel will be examined in regard to the most relevant economic and defense policy and military indicators. The paper is focusing on elaborating the political and economic relationship between the EU-V4 countries and Israel. According to empirical studies, it is necessary for the EU and Israel to work on several fields of expertise together, as the potential crisis like migration, terrorism, drug trafficking, etc. can be solved or at least pushed back only in a framework of close cooperation. The aim of this article is to present the potential for cooperation between the V4 countries and Israel, as the next waves of international migration will be coming from the Sahel region. My hypothesis is that there is a strong economic bond between V4 and the Mashrek region and besides this connection, there is a regional (Visegrad Group) growing of military and defense expenditure. The research methodology is to examine the import and export value growth between V4 countries and the Mashrek region, as well the defense and military expenditures through the databases of the World Bank and OECD.

Authors: Аsanov Еrvin , Pisaruk Anatoly , Dyba Iryna , Antoniuk-Shcheglova Ivanna , Shatilo Valerii
Published: December 2023

As ageing progresses, conditions are created for the pulmonary pathology development and exacerbation of its course. On the other hand, chronic stress leads to a disruption of the respiratory system's adaptive capabilities, which may contribute to pathological conditions development and accelerated ageing.
Aim of the Study: the study aimed to assess the lung ventilation function state and bronchial patency in women who have experienced chronic stress caused by war (CSW).
Subjects and Methods. A total of 91 women aged 31-78 years who experienced CSW and 79 women in the age group of 29-74 years who did not experience CSW were examined. To diagnose the state of stress, the anxiety level (personal and situational) was determined using the Spielberger-Hanin test. The biological age of the respiratory system was calculated using a developed formula.
Results. The impact of CSW did not significantly affect lung ventilation function and bronchial patency in middle-aged and older women. In young women who experienced CSW, there was a decrease in bronchial patency compared to women who did not experience CSW. At the same time, in young women who experienced CSW, the ageing of the respiratory system was accelerated.
Conclusions. CSW by war significantly does not affect lung ventilation function and bronchial patency in middle-aged and older women. However, in young women, CSW leads to a reduction in some indicators of bronchial patency. The impact of CSW results in the ageing of the respiratory system in young women.

XX. YÜZYILDA AVRUPA’DAKİ DÖNÜŞÜMLER VE DOĞU AVRUPA’NIN ŞEKİLLENMESİ
Authors: ÇAKIRBAŞ Ali
Published: December 2023

Birinci Dünya Savaşı XX. Yüzyılın ilk yarısında ortaya çıkan kaosun ana sebeplerinden birisi olmuştur. Savaş sonrası Batı emperyalizmi ve yükselen milliyetçilik çok uluslu imparatorlukları parçalayıp ortaya yeni ulus devletlerin kurulmasına semin hazırlamıştır. Ancak bu gelişmeler yaşanırken ardında çok sayıda insanın hayatını kaybetmesine ya da yaralanmasına yol açtığı gibi ekonomik olarak da büyük bir çöküşü beraberinde getirmiştir. Yaşanan bu insani ve yapısal yıkım yüzyılın geri kalanında Avrupa’yı ve dünyayı hemen her alanda büyük değişikliklere zorlamıştır. Bu çerçevede ortaya çıkan Rusya’daki Bolşevizm, İtalya’daki Faşizm ve Almanya’daki Nasyonel Sosyalizm Avrupa’nın siyasal yapısında yeni kırılmalara neden olarak yeni bir dünya savaşına zemin hazırlamıştır.

Birinci Dünya savaşından galip çıkan müttefikler 1919’da Paris Barış Konferansı’nda bir araya gelmişlerdir. Amerikan Başkanı Woodrow Wilson’un ortaya koyduğu 14 noktadan oluşan ilkeler Doğu Avrupa’nın modern siyasi yapılanmasında önemli rol oynamıştır. Özellikle Çekoslovakya ve Yugoslavya gibi ülkeler, Wilson’un savunuculuğunu yaptığı, ulusların kendi kaderini tayin etme hakkını ön plana çıkartan bu ilkeler sayesinde oluşturulmuştur. Wilson’un savaş sonrası yeni barış düzenini sağlamaya yönelik ileri sürdüğü halkların, kendi kaderlerini tayin etme hakkına ve uluslararası siyasi statülerini hiçbir müdahale olmaksızın belirleme özgürlüğüne sahip olmaları anahtar kriter haline gelmiştir.

Doğu Avrupa’da bu günkü sınırlar XX. Yüzyılda meydana gelen ve etkisi hala devam eden değişimin bir neticesi olmuştur. Savaştan sonra Avusturya-Macaristan İmparatorluğu, Çarlık Rusya’sı ve Almanya İmparatorluğu ve Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun sonlanması ve savaş sonrası imzalanan barış antlaşmaları, Doğu Avrupa’nın siyasi haritasını radikal bir şekilde değiştirmiş ve ortaya çok sayıda egemen devlet çıkarmıştır.

Authors: Dr. Umesh B. Pawar  , Prof. Daund Ramesh P.  , Prof. Ravindra Pandit B.  , Ms. Thombare Nayna S
Published: December 2023

The prevalence of fake product reviews in online shopping platforms has raised concerns regarding the authenticity and reliability of customer feedback. This study proposes a method for detecting fake reviews using a logistic regression model and review-centric features. By analyzing linguistic patterns, sentiment analysis, and reviewer behavior, the proposed model aims to accurately differentiate between genuine and fake reviews. Experimental evaluations on real-world datasets demonstrate an overall accuracy of 82%, showcasing the effectiveness of the approach. The integration of natural language processing techniques allows for the extraction of important features from review texts, which are then utilized as inputs to the logistic regression model. Additionally, considering reviewer behavior, such as the number of reviews, consistency of ratings, and timing, enhances the accuracy of the detection system. The proposed method offers a scalable solution that can be easily implemented in existing e-commerce platforms, bolstering their credibility and protecting consumers from misleading information. By filtering out fake reviews, this approach empowers users to make informed purchasing decisions, ultimately improving customer satisfaction in the online marketplace

Published: December 2023

Turmeric has carminative, stimulating, and fragrant properties that make it a moderate digestive. One of nature's most potent medicines is turmeric. Curcumin is the active component in turmeric. In India, where it was most likely first employed as a dye, turmeric has been used for over 2500 years. Over the ages, this spice's therapeutic qualities have gradually come to light. Although turmeric has long been known for its anti-inflammatory qualities, more recent studies have shown that it is a natural wonder that can help treat a wide range of illnesses, including cancer and Alzheimer's disease. In India, an antibacterial ointment based on the spice is utilized. Asian cosmetics like turmeric water are used to give the skin a golden sheen. Turmeric has been used externally for ulcers and inflammation and internally for ailments like liver blockage and jaundice in Unani medicine. A remedy for dysentery has included roasted turmeric as one of its ingredients. Tooth powder or paste has also been made with turmeric. In traditional medicine, turmeric has been used to treat a wide range of ailments in Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India. Generally speaking, the most utilized portion of the plant is the rhizome. It is said to relieve coughs and asthma and can be prepared in a number of ways. In Ayurvedic medicine, hot water extracts of the dried rhizome have been administered orally to lower inflammation. Another classification for turmeric is "rasayana," a category of plant used in Ayurvedic treatment
A Comprehensive Review on Clinical Trials
Authors: Ashwini B. Zade  , Sanjay K Bais  , Simran Nadaf
Published: December 2023

A clinical trial is an inquiry carried out on human participants in order to investigate specific medical-related questions. The Clinical trials are the most efficient and secure way to improve a patient's health and find a medication that works for them. In a controlled environment, investigational studies determine the safety and effectiveness of new therapeutic modalities or experimental treatments. Health issues in large populations or groups in their natural settings are the focus of observational studies. A major and highly specialised kind of biological experiment used to gauge a treatment's effectiveness is called a clinical trial. Phase I pharmacokinetics, safety, and gross effects are investigated by clinical pharmacologists on human subjects. If the medication passes the test, it advances to phase II trials, where clinical pharmacologists examine the safety, therapeutic efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of the medication on a patient subset. Hundreds of these patients are subsequently examined in phase III trials, primarily for safety and therapeutic efficacy, if the drug is approved. The medication is now authorized and on the market if this is approved. Even after the treatment has been put on the market, doctors from various clinics and hospitals still offer their assessments of it, including how effective it is in phase. 4[1].

AÇÃO ANTIFÚNGICA DA BETA-LAPACHONA FRENTE A CEPAS MULTIDROGAS RESISTENTES
Authors: Lucas Cavalcanti Fernandes Da Silva Victor , De Oliveira Barbosa Anna Beatriz , Da Silva Artur José , Vieira de Santana Maria Eliza , Alves Miranda Juliana
Published: December 2023

O uso excessivo de antimicrobianos nas últimas décadas resultou no aparecimento de cepas multidrogas resistentes (MDR). Infecções causadas por fungos resistentes são um grande problema para a saúde pública, devido à alta mortalidade relacionada a esses casos. A escassez na diversidade de antifúngicos eleva as chances do microrganismo adquirir resistência, bem como a falta de variedade leva ao uso de antimicrobianos de alta toxidade. As principais formas de se escapar da ação farmacológica dos antibióticos são: bomba de efluxo, que diminuem a concentração intracelular da droga e o desenvolvimento de biofilmes que impedem a chegada do agente antifúngico em seu local de ação, conferindo também virulência a cepa. OBJETIVOS: O presente estudo tem em vista assimilar informações sobre o potencial antimicrobiano da beta-lapachona e dissertar suas vantagens contra fungo emergentes. METODOLOGIA: Foram utilizadas as plataformas de pesquisa PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scielo. Utilizou-se dos descritivos “Beta-lapachona” “Biofilmes”,“Mecanismos de resistência”. Os artigos escolhidos língua inglesa entre os anos 2018 e 2022 de publicação. RESULTADOS: Verificou-se o aumento da concentração de Espécies Reativas De O₂ (ROS) (até 5x) na célula, podendo causar danos a estrutura do organismo levando a morte celular. Esta droga também reduziu os níveis de NAD(P)H devido ao estímulo exaustivo do ciclo de redução na mitocôndria. Além de seu uso isolado, a ação conjunta com o fluconazol inibiu o crescimento de cepas resistentes. O efeito sinérgico desta droga proporciona a inibição da bomba de efluxo, permitindo a permanência do antimicrobiano na célula. A atividade da Beta-lapachona contra os biofilmes reduziu a síntese destes (em até 95% em determinadas cepas) e levou a queda no desempenho (88% em fenótipos específicos). CONCLUSÃO: Em suma, podemos inferir que os dados atuais vêm mostrando resultados bastante promissores quanto o possível uso desse agente antimicrobiano na clínica, seja associado a outras drogas ou isoladamente. Ainda pode-se levar em consideração seu uso sanitizante.
Last Year at Marienbad, This Year at Marienbad Again, Next Year in Mariupol? Post-socialism, Retrotopias, and the Time-complex in the Works of Anna Franciska Legát, Ilka Olajos and Fruzsina Takáts
Authors: Keskeny András
Published: December 2023

Nowadays, what Pierre Bourdieu calls social actors – be they individuals, institutions or private companies – prioritise their own ethical, ideological, political and aesthetical ‘identity bubbles’. In doing so, they often overlook the imminent decline of public life, publicity, culture and the arts. Armen Avanessian and Suhail Malik, through their theory of the time-complex rather indirectly, and Andreas Reckwitz with his theory on the society of singularities more directly address this contemporary phenomenon, namely, the ‘atomising’ and ‘relativising’ (singularising) of public life and culture, which, paradoxically, blurs not only the ‘traditional’ timelines of the past, present and future but also the boundaries of material and conceptual entities. As complexities and inscrutability increase, the desire for nostalgia grows. The utopias that fulfil a new political – and, let us add, aesthetical – demand are what Zygmunt Bauman calls retrotopias. Retrotopias – whether fictional, theoretical or practical – are vital components of the time-complex, the process of singularisation, and the contemporary ideological and identity policy-related bubbles. As Michael Foucault would put it: they form the episteme of their time. They offer a glimpse of a horizon in a world where horizons have seemingly vanished. In my philosophical essay – turning Georg Lukács’ Heidelberg Aesthetics on its head – the works of three young, Hungarian ‘post-socialist’ artists will be analysed to support the thesis that if in arts it is possible to break away from the hybrid u- and retrotopias and the trap of the time-complex, then the same should be also true on a global scale.

Published: December 2023

El artículo tiene por objetivo analizar las percepciones sobre autonomía y las condiciones extramediáticas del ejercicio profesional en periodistas de medios nativos digitales en Méxicoy Cuba. La investigación parte de una perspectiva cualitativa y es de tipo exploratoria. Se asumió como técnica fundamental la entrevista en profundidad. Se concluye que las percepciones sobre autonomía de los y las profesionales de los medios estudiados sematerializan en una identificación de integración orgánica entre intereses propios y de las organizaciones de pertenencia. Al mismo tiempo, las percepciones sobre las condiciones extramediáticas se materializan en términos de determinación de incidencia variable, autorreconocimiento y distinción. Las entrevistadas y los entrevistados destacaron como condiciones externas del ejercicio profesional los discursos y el accionar político hostil, la resistencia de las fuentes de información gubernamentales a colaborar y, en algunas respuestas, la incidencia indirecta de las fuentes de financiamiento sobre la agenda de uno de los medios.
Comentario a la ponencia del Dr. Martín Castro - Panel "Las presidencias radicales"
Authors: Persello Ana Virginia
Published: December 2023

El trabajo de Martín Castro se instala en un problema transitado por la bibliografía desde una perspectiva nueva que involucra los lenguajes políticos, los usos de ciertos términos, en este caso oligarquía, sus derivas y transformaciones para dar cuenta de la composición de las dirigencias políticas en el tránsito del siglo XIX al XX y del “orden conservador” a la emergencia de la democracia de masas.
La cuestión social y los primeros gobiernos radicales en Córdoba: ¿ruptura, continuidad o transición? - Panel "El contexto federal"
Authors: Moreyra Beatriz I.
Published: December 2023

Esta contribución analiza la implementación de las políticas sociales y sus vínculos con las reformas políticas enlos gobiernos radicales en la provincia de Córdoba (1916-1919 y 1928-1930.) Para ello, se indaga la importancia que tuvo lacuestión social en el proceso de democratización que se abrió a partir de 1912 en términos de actores, acciones, concepciones,tensiones y experiencias de gobierno para reconstruir el complejo, sinuoso y laxo camino que fue desde la solidaridadde la sociedad civil a la generalización de una solidaridad institucionalizada. El análisis se centra en dos coyunturas. Enel primer gobierno radical, entre 1916-1919, se pondera como el clima de faccionalismo interno condujo a que las iniciativaslegislativas no pudieran desvincularse de las luchas partidarias en un contexto de competencia electoral, lo que implicó que losocial constituyera un elemento más del mercado político. Con la asunción en 1928 de la nueva dirigencia del radicalismo algobierno provincial liderada por Amadeo Sabattini, tuvo lugar un revival del proyecto reformista en varias dimensiones de lacuestión social como la reforma tributaria, la implementación de una legislación que contemplara los derechos mínimos delos sectores sociales más desprotegidos y la reforma educativa, -entre otras- que significaron una bisagra en relación con lapolítica social de simple y clásica administración basada en la protección subvencionada y el reconocimiento efectivo de losderechos sociales.

Published: December 2023

Os medicamentos psicotrópicos surgiram como uma revolução para o tratamento dos transtornos mentais e foram vistos como essenciais para desinstitucionalização. Mas com a prescrição de diversos medicamentos, há a possibilidade de ocorrência de polifarmácia psicotrópica, que é o uso concomitante de 2 ou mais psicotrópicos. Na rotina, é possível observar um elevado número de prescrições, o que possibilita uma relação com a crítica à medicalização da vida e a medicamentalização dos sofrimentos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a medicalização em psiquiatria e a presença de polifarmácia psicotrópica para usuários de um Centrode Atenção Psicossocial álcool e outras drogas (CAPS AD). Este foi um estudo transversal, descritivo e quantitativo. O método foi a análise de dados coletados de prontuários de usuários de um CAPS AD III do Distrito Federal durante o ano de 2021. Os dados foram armazenados em planilha do Microsoft Excel® e analisados quantitativamente. A ocorrência de polifarmácia psicotrópica foi identificada em 100% da amostra analisada, com uso de 2 a 6 medicamentos por usuário. Ao todo, os participantes do estudo estavam em uso de 24 psicotrópicos diferentes, sendo que a maior prevalência foi de naltrexona. Também foram identificadas potenciais interações medicamentosas (PIM) em 90,9% da amostra. Assim, foi possível observar a importância de um acompanhamento psicossocial eficaz, para otimizar os resultados e a necessidade de acompanhamento farmacêutico, avaliar a eficácia terapêutica, realizar monitoramento e revisão da farmacoterapia.
Síndrome da desmielinização osmótica em um paciente com polidipsia psicogênica: relato de caso
Authors: Carvalhêdo Cunha Vinícius , Elles Lopes Duarte Bárbara , Simone Souza Guimarães Cláudia
Published: December 2023

Objetivo: descrever um caso de um paciente de 43 anos com polidipsia psicogênica, admitido em pronto-socorro com quadro de hiponatremia hipotônica hipovolêmica, tendo evoluído posteriormente com síndrome da desmielinização osmótica. Relato de caso: paciente, 43 anos, desenvolveu polidipsia psicogênica, evoluindo com hiponatremia hipotônica hipovolêmica. Admitido em pronto-socorro, após traumatismo craniano, apresentando adinamia, sonolência, náuseas e sinais de desidratação. Foi realizada correção da hiponatremia com solução de sódio endovenosa. Dois dias após internação, apresentou importante rebaixamento do nível de consciência, necessitando de transferência para UTI. Ressonância magnética do encéfalo realizada 2 meses após a admissão no pronto-socorro evidenciou sinais de mielinólise pontina. Discussão: a síndrome de desmielinização pontina é uma condição neurológica que afeta tanto a ponte quanto áreas extra pontinas e está relacionada à rápida correção de hiponatremia crônica. Merecem destaques etilistas, transplantados hepáticos, grandes queimados e desnutridos. A apresentação clínica está relacionada ao local das lesões no sistema nervoso central. O diagnóstico é feito por meio de ressonância magnética. Conclusão: o conhecimentoa respeito da síndrome de desmielinização osmótica é importante para prevenir novos casos, tendo em vista que os pacientes podem ficar totalmente dependentes de cuidados ou até mesmo morrer devido as lesões em sistema nervoso central.

Published: December 2023

Introdução: A prática de realização do clampeamento oportuno do cordão umbilical ainda que preconizada pelos principais meios de referência neonatal e tida como uma boa prática obstétrica é debatida em diversas literaturas quanto aos seus riscos e benefícios as quais questionam sua relação com os casos de icterícia patológica. Desta forma, o estudo objetivou avaliar a relação entre o clampeamento oportuno do cordão umbilical e casos de icterícia patológica nos primeiros dias de vida. Método: Estudo do tipo observacional analítico, transversal com análise retrospectiva de natureza quantitativa. Buscou-se analisar dados de nascimentos assistidos pela enfermagem obstétrica de um hospital público do Distrito Federal do ano de 2021 por meio do livro de registros da unidade. Resultado: O estudo não mostrou relação estatística significativa entre a ocorrência de casos de icterícia patológica e o clampeamento tardio do cordão. Foi observado a ocorrência de casos mais graves de icterícia relacionados a incompatibilidade sanguínea na totalidade dos casos. Entre estes, os casos mais graves de icterícia tinham como característica marcante mães primíparas e recém-nascidos do sexo masculino. Conclusões: A ocorrência de casos de hiperbilirrubinemia com 24h de vida relacionada ao clampeamento tardio, não mostrou relevância estatística, estando dentro da margem esperada de desenvolvimento dos casos de icterícia. Por outro lado, foi observada relação direta dos casos graves com a incompatibilidade ABO entre mães e recém-nascidos.
Artificial Intelligence Decision Support Tools for End-of-Life Care Planning Conversations
Authors: Xie Weiyi , Butcher Robyn
Published: December 2023

Why Is This an Issue?

End-of-life care provides support for patients and their families during the last stage of life. End-of-life conversations aim to help people better understand their disease prognosis and expected survival, enabling them to make informed decisions regarding end-of-life care.

Palliative care focuses on relieving symptoms and improving quality of life for patients with serious or life-threatening diseases. Approximately 89% of patients with life-limiting diseases, such as cancer, can benefit from palliative care. However, not all patients receive it in a timely manner.

Due in part to prognostic uncertainty and optimism bias, end-of-life planning conversations and palliative care decisions do not occur early enough to have maximum benefit. Interventions that aim to prompt or help identify those patients who can benefit from palliative and/or end-of-life planning could improve the quality of care.

What Is the Technology?

An artificial intelligence (AI)–based “nudge” is a decision-making support tool that uses prompts and alerts to aid clinicians in deciding whether and when to discuss end-of-life planning with patients.

The nudge sends alerts and/or reminders to clinicians to prompt end-of-life conversations with patients who are at high risk of short-term mortality. These patients are identified by machine learning mortality prediction algorithms incorporated in the electronic health record (EHR) system.

Two AI-based nudges designed for patients with cancer were identified. Both tools were developed and internally validated in the US.

What Is the Potential Impact?

AI-based nudges have the potential to increase the number of end-of-life planning conversations between clinicians and patients as well as the number of referrals to end-of life services.

Implementing the nudges into clinical workflows could also help clinicians more easily identify patients with palliative care needs.

What Else Do We Need to Know?

No AI-based nudges have been approved for use in Canada at the time of this writing nor have there been validation studies using Canadian data.

As with many AI algorithms, there is uncertainty about the validity and generalizability of the mortality predictive algorithms used in the nudges.

The acceptance of AI-based nudges by clinicians is unclear due to varying clinician attitudes and experiences with nudges and because we did not identify any studies that reported the experience of AI-based nudges from the patient perspective.
