Authors: Гольдинберг Б.М. , Климович О.В.
Published: January 2024

Цель. Обобщить механизм централизации региональной службы крови путем ребрендинга. Материалы и методы. Материалом исследования стали статистические отчеты и нормативные документы службы крови. Применен метод системного анализа для установления составляющих ребрендинга применительно к службе крови. Результаты. На основании собственного опыта и теоретического обобщения материалов изучены риски ребрендинга и разработаны чек-листы для внедрения современных подходов к централизации службы крови региональных уровней. Выводы: 1. Централизация СК на региональных уровнях не имеет альтернативных решений, поскольку главной ее целью является соблюдение национальных стандартов качества производимых компонентов крови для эффективного оказания трансфузионной помощи пациентам. 2. Ребрендинг подразумевает не просто смену названия СК, а проведение комплекса качественных изменений как внутри самой СК, так и в работе с пациентами. 3. Предлагаемые чек-листы позволяют разработать программу внедрения современных подходов к централизации СК региональных уровней.

Purpose. To generalize the mechanism of centralization of the regional blood service by rebranding. Materials and methods. The research material includes statistical reports and regulatory documents of the blood service. The analytical analysis method was applied to establish the components of the rebranding in relation to the blood service. Results. Based on our own experience and theoretical generalization of the materials the risks of rebranding have been studied and checklists have been developed for the introduction of modern approaches to centralize blood services at regional levels. Conclusion. 1. The centralization of the blood service at regional levels has no alternative solutions, since its main goal is to comply with national quality standards of blood components produced for the effective provision of transfusion care to patients. 2. Rebranding implies not just changing the name of blood services but carrying out a complex of qualitative changes both within the blood service itself and in working with patients. 3. The proposed checklists allow us to develop a program for the introduction of modern approaches to the centralization of blood services at regional levels.
Pharmacoeconomical Analysis of Time-Fixed Use of Monotherapy with Targeted Drugs, as Well as Combinations of Targeted Drugs with Anti-CD20-Monoclonal Antibody of the 2nd Generation (Obinutuzumab) for the Therapy of Previously Untreated Patients with CLL
Authors: Лис А.П. , Морозова О.М.
Published: January 2024

Хронический лимфолейкоз – самый распространенный вид лейкоза у взрослых; является теоретически неизлечимым заболеванием. Цель назначения того или иного лечения для пациентов с хроническим лимфолейкозом – максимальное продление жизни. Современное лечение основано на использовании таргетных лекарственных препаратов как в монотерапии, так и в комбинации с моноклональными антителами. Высокая стоимость новых молекул является ограничительным фактором применения такой терапевтической опции у пациентов с хроническим лимфолейкозом. Длительное непрерывное лечение до прогрессии или непереносимой токсичности или конечное по времени лечение – выбор, который делает гематолог с учетом эффективности и безопасности, а также доступности терапии для пациента.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is the most common type of leukemia in adults and is theoretically an incurable disease. The purpose of prescribing a particular treatment for patients with CLL is to maximize the prolongation of their life. Modern treatment is based on the use of targeted drugs both in monotherapy and in combination with monoclonal antibodies. The high cost of new molecules is a limiting factor in the use of such a therapeutic option in patients with CLL. Long–term continuous treatment before the event or progression of the disease or the final treatment in time is a choice made by a hematologist taking into account the effectiveness and safety, as well as the availability of therapy for the patient.
A Plea to Save Essential Health Care
Authors: KIM MoonJeong
Published: January 2024

The Korean healthcare system is facing a crisis as local medical care, including
essential healthcare, is at risk of collapse. This commentary argues that bold
action from the medical community and the government is urgently needed to save
the system and that ad hoc measures will not suffice. It is time for the medical
community to reflect on their professionalism from the perspective of the people
and for the government to listen to the voices of medical personnel and
reexamine the Korean medical system as a whole.
The Premise of Professionalism in Contractualism
Authors: KIM Junhewk
Published: January 2024

While agreeing with the target article’s argument that South Korea’s essential
healthcare crisis should be addressed through a reinvigoration of medical
professionalism, this commentary suggests that professionalism should be seen
through the lens of Scanlon’s contractualism. Distinguishing between social
contract theory (contractarianism) and contractualism, this commentary argues
that while the former arises from mutual benefits, the latter emphasizes moral
equality and the duty to justify oneself to others. From the perspective of
contractualism, medical professionals are not simply benefit-seekers in a social
contract, but rather morally driven individuals who seek principles “that no one
could reasonably reject.” Through specific examples, such as the legislation
concerning CCTV cameras in surgical rooms, this commentary demonstrates the
potential of a contractualist approach to break the impasse in traditional
debates about medical professionalism by shifting the focus from individual
benefits to collectively acceptable principles. Ultimately, it is argued that a
contractualist perspective on medical professionalism offers a novel way to
empower medical professionals and engage society, one that emphasizes shared
responsibility and the reason-giving force intrinsic to this approach.

ATOESP
Authors: Canale Vitor
Published: January 2024

O presente artigo se debruça sobre a criação e a primeira década de atuação da Associação das Torcidas Organizadas do Estado de São Paulo (ATOESP). A instituição, criada em 1976, congregou grêmios torcedores paulistas, representando iniciativa pioneira e um fórum de debates sobre as dificuldades enfrentadas pelos adeptos ao futebol. Com base em entrevistas, fontes da imprensa da época e no referencial da historiografia marxista inglesa, notadamente E.P. Thompson, mostra-se de que maneira, a despeito da visão de senso-comum acerca das rivalidades, as lideranças dos agrupamentos reunidos na Associação cultivavam diálogos. Nesse sentido, foram analisadas as pautas da ATOESP que ensejaram a convocação de boicotes e de atos contra a Federação Paulista de Futebol, no tocante ao calendário esportivo e ao aumento do preço dos ingressos, além das recorrentes reivindicações em prol da liberação de materiais festivos para as arquibancadas e de um melhor tratamento da Polícia Militar para com os torcedores.
Pengembangan Sistem Aplikasi Barbershop Berbasis Android untuk Meningkatkan Efisiensi dan Efektivitas Pelayanan di Barbershop
Authors: Refwahajan Fiqih , Waluyo Anita Fira
Published: January 2024

Barbershop is an innovation or development from a men's haircut to a special men's grooming place for hair. Barbershop not only provides haircut services, but many other services are presented such as shaving, coloring, etc. At this time, service order submissions are still made through the WhatsApp platform or telephone or come directly to the Barbershop and queue so that customers feel less satisfied because sometimes it is necessary to wait a long time. To solve this problem, a Barbershop service application was created that customers can use to order services and then Barbershop managers can manage these services only through the application. The application is built using the Flutter and PHP programming languages, is supported by the Laravel framework, and relies on the MySQL database management system to make database management easier. Some of the features provided by the application include booking services, choosing a barberman, and choosing a service time. Thus, this application can help services in Barbershop become more effective and efficient.

I conducted a literature review based on actor network theory, the concept of public sphere and discourses on the dance experience of spectatorship and participation, then also conducted in-depth interviews with six street dancers and analyzed the content.
The findings suggest the following. Firstly, street dance is a multilayered experience converged with practical dance experience in lives and creation of dance content. Secondly, there is a shift toward a creator economy beyond the imitation. Thirdly, the integration of participation and spectatorship in battle culture and open spaces creates embodied interaction and social relationship with flow experience. It means that dancing in everyday lives and dance content in digital are interconnected and boundaries and forms of artistic and popular dance are blurred, which contributes to the revitalization and sustainability of the dance ecosystem. This study indicates the topics for the global development of K-Dance and for policy on the social value of dance.

Authors:   Korea Association Of Cultural Economics, Sun Joo Yeon
Published: January 2024

This study empirically analyzed factors affecting box office success, focusing on films released after lifting COVID-19 social distancing. T-test for the comparison of mean values and multiple regression analysis were conducted using domestic theater data for each day of the week, focusing on concert movies. In addition, we analyzed factors affecting the success of theater movies, such as special screenings and screening days. The results of the empirical analysis are summarized as follows. First, screenings in the form of special theaters focusing on Screen X and 4D recorded relatively low screen share, but recorded high ticket sales revenue. Second, special event screenings, such as lightstick screenings or sing-along screenings, were analyzed as a major factor affecting movie box office success. It was found that special screenings performed better in terms of box office compared to regular screenings. Third, box office performance on Wednesday as well as on weekends was estimated to be higher than on Monday. This study contributed to the literature by analyzing both the number of movie audiences and movie ticket sales as indicators of a movie's box office performance and deriving empirical findings.

Published: January 2024

A health risk assessment was conducted using indoor formaldehyde concentrations measured during a four-year period from 2019 to 2022 for 322 facilities within Busan Metropolitan City. In the facilities, the average concentration of formaldehyde was 26.7 μg/m3 for general hospitals, 27.4 μg/m3 for nursing hospitals, 17.8 μg/m3for daycare centers, 42.9 μg/m3 for postpartum care centers, and 14.1 μg/m3 for elderly care facilities. As for the health risk of formaldehyde, workers in hospitals, daycare centers, postpartum care centers, and elderly care facilities had ECR (excess cancer risk) values of 3.54 × 10-5, 2.84 × 10-5, 6.84 × 10-5, and 1.86 × 10-5 for CTE (central tendency exposure), respectively. Based on the Busan City ordinance seven out of 322 facilities in this study were found to be non-compliant. When the risk was calculated for individual data according to the exposure of workers in each facility, 303 ECR values (94%) exceeded 1.0 × 10-5. If excess cancer risk is calculated by assuming a gradual change in formaldehyde concentration, the current maintenance standard (70 μg/m3) is insufficient to provide appropriate safety for workers, patients and residents. Therefore, higher stringent values than 50 μg/m3 are required to obtain indoor air quality standards for formaldehyde that meet an ECR of 1.0 × 10-4.

The aquatic environment contains numerous mixtures of various combinations of hazardous single substances, and it is difficult to calculate the toxicity values of all mixtures by test methods. Therefore, the estimation method based on the UN-GHS model has been widely used. However, there are cases where the difference between the model estimate and the actual (test) value is large, indicating the need for research to reduce the uncertainty of the model. This study aims to develop a modified model that can solve the problems of the UN-GHS model, and to evaluate the applicability of the modified model through toxicity testing of mixtures. An acute Daphnia magna toxicity test was conducted according to the drug mixture exposure, and the difference between the toxicity test result and the model estimate was analyzed assuming that it was derived from the model uncertainty. The large difference between the UN-GHS model estimate and the test result was due to the toxicity weighting factor, determined by dividing the L(E)C50 of each single substance into interval values. Therefore, in this study, the existing model was improved by developing a modified model that assigns a toxicity weighting factor to the point value, rather than the interval value of L(E)C50 for each single substance. The estimate of the modified model showed an average difference of 16.7% from the toxicity test value, which was 3.9 times more accurate than the existing model (average 64.4%). Thus, the modified model can be a useful method for estimating the toxicity values of mixtures composed of single substances.

Published: January 2024

A novel high performance chromatographic method was devised to simultaneously quantify chlorine dioxide and hypochlorous acid/hypochlorite, leveraging their similar chemical properties but distinct toxicities. In this study, it consists of a two-step derivatization reaction: The first step is the reaction of hypochlorous acid/hypochlorite with 2,6-dimethylphenol in a water matrix to produce 4-chloro-2,6-dimethylphenol; the second step is a reaction in which iodine ions added after the first step react with chlorine dioxide to produce iodine and then react with 2,6-dimethylphenol to produce 4-iodo-2,6-dimethylphenol. It was confirmed that the concentration of 4-chloro-2,6-dimethylphenol produced was proportional to the total concentration of hypochlorous acid/hypochlorite, and the concentration of 4-iodo-2,6-dimethylphenol was proportional to the concentration of chlorine dioxide. With a detection limit of 0.011 mg/L for chlorine dioxide and 0.009 mg/L for hypochlorous acid/hypochlorite, the calibration curve showed excellent linearity (r2=0.999) in disinfectant solution. This sensitive and selective method is well-suited for the routine analysis of chlorine dioxide and hypochlorous acid/hypochlorite in water and disinfection byproducts.

Published: January 2024

Traumatic rupture of the right diaphragmatic dome with herniation of the liver into the thorax is a rare lesion. It is often integrated into the context of multiple trauma, of which it is a criterion of severity. It exposes you, early or late, to cardiopulmonary complications due to compression. The diagnosis of a right diaphragmatic rupture is difficult to establish. Indeed, its clinical signs are not very specific and the imaging can be faulty because it visualizes the ascended organs but more difficultly the rupture itself. The thoracic approach is often preferred due to the difficulties of exposing the diaphragm in the presence of the liver. We report a case of a right diaphragmatic rupture with isolated and total intra-thoracic passage of the liver diagnosed on the fifth day of hospitalization in a multiple trauma patient.

Published: January 2024

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic disease that progresses in relapses and remissions. The disease affects preferentially the small joints but an extension to the cervical spine poses a particular problem for anaesthesia because of the risk of difficult and/or dangerous intubation due to the aggravation of neurological lesions linked to the occurrence of subluxation of the axis on the atlas. Treatments such as Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or corticosteroids should be considered perioperatively, as it is important not to discontinue them, knowing that they increase the risk of sepsis as do other treatments (methotrexate) which have an immunosuppressive effect. The pre-anaesthetic evaluation of patients must also look for systemic damage (pericarditis, chronic interstitial lung disease) likely to interfere with the anaesthetic management. The latter must favour, as far as possible, loco-regional anaesthesia. Intubation through a fibrocope is the least traumatic technique. Taking care of the discomfort of the installation on a table, which is particularly harmful to these patients, and programming a multimodal analgesia as well as the continuation of treatment of RA.

Published: January 2024

Primary laryngeal lymphoma is a rare entity, accounting for less than 1% of all primary laryngeal neoplasms. It is mainly primary non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphoma (NHLM). We report a new case in a 56-year-old woman who presented with progressive onset dysphonia [1]. Laryngoscopy revealed a budding lesion of the glotto-supglottic level (vocal cords, arytenoids, ventricular bands, epiglottis). Histology showed a peripheral T-cell lymphoma, CD3 and Ki67 positive, this pathology is difficult to diagnose, requires particular vigilance and should be managed according to current treatment trends for nodal LMNH.

Objectives: This study primarily aimed to investigate the clinical determinants of the Modified Incremental Step Test (MIST) in adults with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB). A secondary objective was to compare the cardiopulmonary responses after the MIST and Incremental Shuttle Walk Test (ISWT), two commonly adopted symptom-limited maximum field tests in chronic respiratory diseases. Methods: Forty-six patients with clinically stable bronchiectasis participated in this cross-sectional study. MIST and ISWT were performed to determine exercise capacity, while disease severity, fatigue, and quality of life were assessed using the Bronchiectasis Severity Index (BSI), the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), and St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), respectively. Quadriceps muscle strength was evaluated using a hand-held dynamometer, walking speed with a wireless inertial sensing device, and the level of physical activity (steps/day) with a pedometer. Results: The BSI score, quadriceps muscle strength, daily step count, and the SGRQ total score explained 61.9% of the variance in the MIST (p < 0.001, R2 = 0.67, AR2 = 0.619). The BSI score (r = -0.412, p = 0.004), quadriceps muscle strength (r = 0.574, p = 0.001), daily step count (r = 0.523, p < 0.001), walking speed (r = 0.402, p = 0.006), FSS score (r = -0.551, p < 0.001), and SGRQ total score (r = -0.570, p < 0.001) correlated with the MIST. The patients achieved higher heart rates (HR), HR%, desaturation, dyspnea, and leg fatigue in the MIST compared to the ISWT (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Disease severity, quadriceps muscle strength, physical activity level, and quality of life were determinants of MIST. The advantages of the MIST, including higher cardiopulmonary response than ISWT and greater portability, which facilitates its use in various settings, make MIST the preferred choice for investigating symptom-limited exercise capacity in patients with NCFB.

Re-Visioning Change
Authors: Jennings Zellynne
Published: January 2024

The change process is immensely complex. It is a journey, not a blueprint. How we make that journey in the present should be informed by our experiences in the past. This book takes the reader through that journey, traversing the stages of initiation, design, development, implementation, institutionalization of curriculum innovations in schools in several Commonwealth Caribbean countries. Through an analysis of the problems experienced at the various stages the author distils broader insights into the dynamics of curriculum change which bears significance not just for the Commonwealth Caribbean but for all developing countries with similar characteristics. The author proposes ten drivers for change to guide future action and eight challenges for 'doing change differently'. As a source of information for teachers, principals, education planners and other stakeholders involved in curriculum change, this book is invaluable.
Reclaiming African Religions in Trinidad
Authors: Henry Frances
Published: January 2024

Frances Henry explores connections among various African religions, the cultural identity and historic experiences of Caribbean peoples, and the re-discovery of the African past as an important aspect of national identity in Trinidad and Tobago. Dynamic doctrinal and ideological changes have taken place within these religions, and Reclaiming African Religions addresses these as it documents the legislative and social acceptance of African religions today. Considering contemporary history and religious debate, Henry analyses both the process by which marginalized religions move toward the mainstream and the various internal and external tensions such as movement engender. Enriched by Henry’s years of intensive fieldwork in Trinidad, Reclaiming African Religions makes a particularly strong contribution in its discussions of ritual authenticity.
The Formation of Mental Habits Focusing on the Experiences of Homeless People: A Phenomenological Study

Published: January 2024

Mental habits could be considered a major determinant not only of physical health behaviors and status but also of mental health. However, there has been limited research on the concept of mental habits in Korea and internationally. As homeless people experience mental health issues more frequently than the general population, early detection and management could be crucial for improving their mental health. Therefore, this study aims to conduct a phenomenological study to discover common experiences of the homeless, focusing on the formation process of mental habits. Through the analysis of in-depth interviews with 12 homeless people, 21 themes, 11 theme clusters, and 6 categories were derived. The results suggested that the mental habits of the homeless were formed through experiences including social disconnection, addiction, unethical behavior, economic difficulties, social exclusion, chronic problematic environments, and intrinsic motivations for life. From childhood to the current homeless status, various experiences have led to complicated interactions affecting the interviewees in multiple ways: a single event could lead to multiple mental habits, or a combination of experiences could develop a single mental habit. Therefore, policies for homeless people should not simply aim to provide shelter but should also aim to end homelessness through supports for sustainable living. This should be built on an understanding of their experiences including life before homelessness, the process of becoming homeless, and their experiences as homeless individuals. Based on this, the researchers' policy recommendations are as follows: First, programs for the homeless should proactively aim to eliminate discrimination. Second, interventions for mental habits should incorporate specific and non-specific interventions. Lastly, interventions for the mental health of homeless people should focus on creating intrinsic motivations.
