OBJECTIVE
Robotics in neurosurgery is becoming increasingly prevalent. The integration of intraoperative imaging for patient registration into workflows of newer robotic systems enhances precision and has further driven their widespread adoption. In this study, the authors report on a lightweight, table-mounted robotic system integrating robotic cone-beam CT (CB-CT) for automated patient registration in cranial biopsies and stereotactic electroencephalography (sEEG).

METHODS
This prospective cohort study included patients who underwent stereotactic biopsy or sEEG with the Cirq system from January 2023 to August 2024. For patient-to-image registration, an external registration matrix was secured near the patient’s head before conducting CB-CT with robotic Artis Pheno. CT was then fused with preoperative planning MRI and used as the navigation dataset. Demographic and clinical data were evaluated, and entry and target errors, as well as vector deviation of sEEG electrodes, were assessed and compared with those of patients who underwent biopsies and sEEG with the frameless VarioGuide system.

RESULTS
In 26 Cirq-assisted surgical procedures, robotic CB-CT was used for image registration in 20 cases. Of these, 15 were biopsies (mean ± SD 7 ± 1 specimens) and 5 were sEEG with 31 depth electrodes, compared to 29 VarioGuide biopsies and 3 VarioGuide sEEG cases with 25 electrodes. The mean age was 56 ± 19 years, with a male/female ratio of 1.9:1. Lesion size averaged 19 ± 17 cm3 on T1-weighted imaging and 61 ± 53 cm3 on T2-weighted imaging for Cirq and 14 ± 14 cm3 and 68 ± 47 cm3 for VarioGuide. The mean surgical times were 117 ± 34 minutes for biopsy and 269 ± 54 minutes for sEEG in the Cirq group, with skin-to-skin times of 40 ± 23 minutes for biopsy and 208 ± 74 minutes for sEEG; in comparison, surgical times of 78 ± 21 minutes for biopsy and 218 ± 33 minutes for sEEG were reported with VarioGuide, with skin-to-skin times of 34 ± 13 and 158 ± 27 minutes. No complications occurred. The mean dosage area product was 983 ± 351 µGym2 for biopsies and 1772 ± 968 µGym2 for sEEG. Cirq-assisted sEEG electrodes had mean entry and target errors of 1.4 ± 1.2 mm and 2.6 ± 1.6 mm, compared to 5.3 ± 3.3 mm and 6.5 ± 2.8 mm with VarioGuide. Mean vector deviation was 1.6 ± 0.9 mm with Cirq versus 4.9 ± 2.9 mm with VarioGuide.

CONCLUSIONS
The integration of a lightweight, table-mounted robotic alignment tool with intraoperative CB-CT for automated patient-to-image registration enables high precision and a seamless workflow. This combination is safe, has a manageable learning curve, and holds potential to replace traditional frame-based and frameless procedures. Its efficiency and accuracy are likely to contribute to the increasing adoption of robotics in neurosurgery.

OBJECTIVE
The authors investigated the predictors of cost of admission (CoA) for robot-assisted pedicle screw placement to assess the value of robotic systems in spine operations.

METHODS
Demographic, operative, and postoperative variables were retrospectively collected from 506 patients undergoing robot-assisted spine surgery utilizing the ExcelsiusGPS robot at two high-volume tertiary care centers from 2017 to 2023. Perioperative parameters were evaluated against total hospital admission cost utilizing the Kruskal-Wallis and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests followed by multivariable linear regression.

RESULTS
The majority of patients were female (53.6%), 50–80 years of age (77.7%), and White (73.9%); had at least 1 comorbidity (58.1%); and presented with an average functional preoperative Frankel grade (57.5%). The mean CoA was $69,458 ± $47,910. On univariable analysis, demographic data including sex, age, race, and Frankel grade were not associated with CoA. The presence of a comorbidity, however, was associated with increased CoA (p < 0.001). Intraoperatively, one-third of the operations (31.8%) were revisions from prior operations and were subsequently associated with increased CoA (p = 0.021). Thoracic-level operations constituted roughly one-quarter of the cohort (24.1%) and were also associated with increased CoA (p < 0.001). Intraoperative durotomies occurred in 7.7% of patients, leading to increased CoA (p = 0.003). Extended surgical durations also demonstrated elevated CoA (p < 0.001). Postoperatively, the median length of stay (LOS) was 3 days, and an LOS of greater than 3 days was one of the primary drivers of cost (p < 0.001). Postoperative complications occurred in just 6.3% of the cohort but were also associated with increased CoA (p < 0.001). On multivariable analysis, LOS, number of screws placed, operative duration, and postoperative complications were the primary predictors of increased CoA.

CONCLUSIONS
Understanding the drivers of cost in robot-assisted pedicle screw placement is crucial to elucidate the value associated with the use of robotic systems in spine surgery. These results indicate that patient and surgical complexity influence cost and that robotic systems may augment management in spine surgery. Further investigation is warranted to determine the long-term benefits and cost-effectiveness of new technologies compared with traditional techniques in spine surgery.

Published: December 2024

OBJECTIVE
As robot systems for spine surgery have been developed, they have demonstrated a high degree of accuracy in screw placement without sacrificing safety or surgical efficiency. These robotic systems offer preoperative planning and real-time feedback to enhance surgical precision and mitigate human error. Nevertheless, limitations to their optimal performance remain. The authors analyzed the initial 100 cases of pedicle screw placements performed using the Mazor X robot at their institution, presenting case examples to illustrate the limitations that were experienced, and reviewed current literature on the limitations of robot-assisted spine surgery, emphasizing their impact on accuracy and safety.

METHODS
This was a retrospective review of the first 100 cases of robot-assisted pedicle screw placement at the authors’ institution between December 2019 and June 2024. All intraoperative CT scans were reviewed for screw accuracy. Malpositioned screws, near misses (screw deviation without injury to the patient), or abandoned robot-assisted attempts were identified, and the underlying reasons were evaluated to determine the limitations of current robot technology.

RESULTS
Of the first 100 cases of robot-assisted pedicle screw placement, there were 20 screw-related complications, of which 14 were near misses, 1 involved neurological injury caused by screw malposition, and 5 were cases in which a robot-assisted attempt was abandoned before manual screw placement. The authors identified the following limitations with current robot technology: registration errors, spine movement after registration, patient body habitus, artifact from metallic implants, poor bone differentiation, skiving, soft-tissue interference, and physical constraints.

CONCLUSIONS
Despite the advancements of spine robot systems, several limitations persist, especially in mobile or unstable spine locations and around critical structures. The authors’ experience, with provided case examples, further illustrates technical nuances important to understanding and navigating around these limitations. The need for standardized reporting metrics to evaluate and classify emerging technologies is highlighted, emphasizing ongoing technological innovation to enhance the efficacy of robot-assisted spine surgery.

Впровадження інноваційних технологій є необхідним для адаптації до нових ринкових умов сьогодення, підвищення ефективності та покращення взаємодії між роботодавцями та співробітниками. Такі технології, як штучний інтелект (ШІ), соціальні мережі, автоматизація HR-процесів, платформи для дистанційної роботи та аналітичні системи значно змінюють традиційні підходи до управління персоналом, відкриваючи нові можливості для розвитку організацій.
Одним із головних аспектів застосування інноваційних технологій у HR є підвищення ефективності процесів підбору та управління персоналом. Завдяки використанню ШІ та машинного навчання, автоматизовані системи дозволяють здійснювати відбір кандидатів, що забезпечує більш точний і об'єктивний процес найму. Аналізування масиву цієї інформації дає змогу виявляти закономірності в поведінці працівників, що допомагає прогнозувати потенційні проблеми та своєчасно впливати на мотивування персоналу та на ефективність функціонування підприємства загалом. Як результат, можемо оптимізувати витрати на традиційні методи рекрутингу та зменшити вплив людського фактору у прийнятті рішень. Впровадження новітніх технологій сприяє покращенню комунікації між керівниками та підлеглими. Сучасні платформи для управління персоналом дозволяють створювати зручні інтерфейси для моніторингу результативності працівників, а також для розвитку їхніх професійних навичок через онлайн-курси, тренінги та персоналізовані програми розвитку. Автоматизація процесів управління персоналом дозволяє швидко реагувати на зовнішні та внутрішні чинники, а також оперативно підлаштовуватися до нових вимог ринку праці. Інноваційні системи дають можливість забезпечити швидке аналізування та оцінювання ефективності команди та окремих працівників, зокрема, що дозволяє мінімізувати ризики та прийняти ефективні управлінські рішення.
Однак успішне впровадження інноваційних технологій в управлінні персоналом залежить від ряду чинників, серед яких ключовими є рівень підготовки персоналу, наявність необхідної технологічної інфраструктури, юридичні аспекти (захист даних, конфіденційність) та організаційна структура підприємства. Підготовлення працівників до використання нових технологій є важливим етапом, оскільки недостатній рівень кваліфікації може призвести до зниження ефективності чи навіть зриву впровадження інновацій.

Aliaksei Kazharski: Central Europe Thirty Years after the Fall of Communism. A Return to the Margin?
Authors: Slačálek Ondřej 
Published: December 2024

Ondřej Slačálek reviews Aliaksei Kazharski´s new book. According to Slačálek, the book has many promising points of entry for understanding the (re)construction of “Central Europe” as a region, and understanding it from the East rather than (yet again) from the West. However, this potential is realized only partially. As the book does not take the region´s real historical marginality seriously, in it, Central Europe does not become marginal until it deviates from its alleged transition to or place in the supposed Western European mainstream. Slačálek sums up that the book can be read not only as a valuable scholarly contribution to the debate, but also as a document of its time: a time when (at least for many influential analysts) conservative nationalism could look like something that may be localized on the European “margins” and considered a re-creation of regionalized pathologies of Central Europe, while the western part may be characterized by a “universalist”, “liberal” and “humanitarian” stance. He concludes that this kind of analysis is also a biased construction that might belie the much more complex and richer reality.
Molecular Characterization and Antibiotic sensitivity of Staphylococcus sp. Isolated from Animal Skin wounds
Authors: Abdulhusein Haider Sabah , Baidaa M. Kadim  
Published: December 2024

A wide variety of commensal microorganisms reside on the skin, many of which secrete proteolytic enzymes that might have detrimental effects following an injury. These bacteria are considered opportunistic pathogens. The objective of the study is to isolate Staphylococcus sp. from animal skin and conduct molecular characterization of the recovered strains in order to examine their enzymatic production capabilities. The objective is to assess the antibiotic susceptibility of Staphylococcus sp. and determine the ideal conditions for bacterial development. A total of 25 swab samples were obtained from animal skin wounds in AL-Shatrah city. Each sample was cultured on nutrient agar, blood agar, and Mannitol salt agar (with a 7.5% NaCl concentration) as a specialized medium. All isolates underwent molecular diagnosis using the PCR technique. Additionally, 10 isolates were selected for sequencing using the Sanger dideoxy 16S rRNA sequencing method. Enzyme production properties were analyzed, and the sensitivity of bacteria to six antibiotics was studied. Additionally, the researchers investigated the ideal circumstances for bacterial proliferation. Analysis of 25 swab samples taken from animal skin wounds yielded a total of 18 isolates. Based on biochemical tests, the majority of these isolates were identified as Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Staphylococcus borealis. Staphylococcus warneri and Staphylococcus epidermidis exhibited sensitivity to Novobiocin, with inhibition zones of 22mm and 21mm respectively. However, all other isolates that were examined showed resistance to novobiocin.

Published: December 2024

Background: The lack of references for practical examples of Knowledge Management (KM) tool applications in libraries can be one of the obstacles to the development of KM tools in non-profit institutions. Therefore, conducting studies is essential to enrich and advance scientific knowledge related to library science and Knowledge Management. Purpose: The study aims to describe KM tools commonly used in both profit and non-profit organizations and review their usage in libraries. Method: This study is a systematic literature review following the PRISMA framework. A total of 31 articles were collected and subsequently analyzed based on their relevance to the research topic. Result: The use of KM tools in organizations is becoming increasingly diverse, incorporating both IT and non-IT approaches. Common types of KM tools used in organizations include social media, websites, the internet, networks, face-to-face interactions, mentoring, and reports. The concept of KM tool usage includes: (1) knowledge strategy, for developing competencies needed in the future; (2) knowledge creation, for problem-solving; (3) knowledge retention, for sharing tacit knowledge; and (4) knowledge measurement, for addressing knowledge deficiency issues. KM tools have also been adapted in libraries for managing knowledge sources and representation, storage, knowledge dissemination, and as tools for problem-solving. KM tools in libraries include the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC), repositories, social media, face-to-face interactions, and the 'Ask the Librarian' feature. Conclusion: The use of KM tools in organizations can be adjusted to meet specific needs and budgets. Libraries, in storing information, have utilized various forms of KM tools, allowing them to effectively and efficiently fulfill their role in managing the knowledge produced by the host institutions.
Waste-to-Profit Transformation: Innovative Strategies for Waste Recycling as a Sustainable Source of Income
Authors: Ismail Ismail , Marhati Marhati 
Published: December 2024

The growing waste management problem, especially in developing countries, poses significant environmental, social, and economic challenges. This qualitative study, using an ethnographic approach, investigates community perceptions of waste, recycling’s potential as an income source, and innovative recycling strategies in Bone Regency, South Sulawesi. Bone Regency, a region with limited waste infrastructure and high levels of waste pollution, faces unique social and economic challenges in sustainable waste management. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observations, and document analysis involving community members and the Community-Based Solid Waste Management (CBSWM) initiative. Data analysis involved thematic coding to identify key patterns in perceptions, challenges, and outcomes. The findings reveal that community perceptions of waste shifted positively as they recognized its economic potential. Innovative strategies, including community-based waste management and social entrepreneurship, successfully generated income and promoted sustainable practices. Products such as organic compost, recycled plastic crafts, and construction materials demonstrate economic opportunities, though market access and scalability remain critical challenges. The study concludes that infrastructure improvements, expanded market opportunities, and policy support are essential for sustainable waste management in the Bone Regency. Future research should explore scalable recycling models, environmental impacts, and policy implications to support broader applications in similar regions.
