Authors: Huang Yu-Lin , Lin Meng-Chang , Wang Bai-Yun 
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND
Percutaneous hepatobiliary drainage (PTCD) is an effective method for the treatment of biliary obstruction and other diseases, but postoperative complications are still one of the important problems faced by patients. Continuous nursing is a comprehensive nursing model that plays an important role in postoperative recovery. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of continuous nursing on the incidence of complications in patients after PTCD surgery through meta-analysis and to evaluate its efficacy and safety.
AIM
To evaluate the effect of extended nursing on the incidence of complications in discharged patients after percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD).
METHODS
Randomized controlled studies on PTBD postdischarge extended care were identified in the CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, CBM, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, and other databases. The quality of the included studies was evaluated using the Joanna Briggs Institute of Australia literature quality evaluation tool, and a meta-analysis of the included studies was performed with RevMan 5.4 software.
RESULTS
Finally, 9 studies were included, with a total sample size of 854 patients (425 patients in the control group and 429 patients in the intervention group). Meta-analysis revealed that extended care effectively reduced biliary tract infection (RR: 0.42, 95%CI: 0.30-0.57), puncture wound infection (RR: 0.19, 95%CI: 0.06-0.65), catheter protrusion or displacement in discharged patients after PTBD (RR: 0.31, 95%CI: 0.18-0.54), catheter blockage (RR: 0.23, 95%CI: 0.13-0.42), skin infection around the drainage tube (RR: 0.30, 95%CI: 0.12-0.77), and catheter-related readmissions (RR: 0.34, 95%CI: 0.18-0.65) (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
Compared with conventional discharge care, extended care can effectively reduce the occurrence of complications such as biliary tract infection, puncture wound infection, catheter prolapse or displacement, catheter blockage, skin infection around the drainage tube, and catheter-related readmission in discharged patients after PTBD.

Authors: Qu Yan-Ping , Jin Wei , Huang Ben , Shen Jie 
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND
Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a benign proliferative disorder that affects the synovial joints, bursae, and tendon sheaths. To date, few studies have reported on the treatment of postoperative pain and edema in patients with PVNS. Herein, we present the case of a woman who developed pain and edema in the left lower limb 1 wk after synovectomy and arthroscopic partial meniscectomy and was unable to walk due to limited flexion and extension of the left knee.
CASE SUMMARY
A 32-year-old woman underwent synovectomy and arthroscopic partial meniscectomy successively and was treated with a combination of manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) and kinesio taping (KT) in our hospital to alleviate postoperative pain and edema. The following parameters were assessed at 2 wk post-treatment and 1 wk post-discharge follow up: suprapatellar circumference, infrapatellar circumference, visual analog scale score, knee range of motion, pittsburgh sleep quality index score, hamilton anxiety rating scale (HAMA) score, and hamilton depression rating scale (HAMD) score. After treatment, the postoperative pain and edema in the patient’s left knee were effectively relieved, resulting in improved sleep quality and remarkably attenuated HAMA and HAMD scores.
CONCLUSION
Combined MLD and KT may be an effective approach for relieving postoperative pain and edema in patients with PVNS.

ObjectivesThe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all areas of human life has been great. The prevailing disease also turned out to be a challenge for managers and the entire educational environment, which is the genesis of this article. Therefore, the aim of this article is to compare interest in the issue of improving managerial competences in the period before and after the Covid-19 pandemic and to draw conclusions in this area.Material and methodsThe article contains a presentation of the results of research relating to the need to improve competences by the management staff of the organization before the pandemic (2018) and after its end (2022). The research covered middle-level managers and small business entrepreneurs.ResultsThe obtained results prove that it is necessary to constantly adapt to new market conditions and requirements, and new competences are indispensable in order to do so. Respondents see the need to improve the level of their knowledge, opting for forms that will not absorb them excessively (e.g. self-improvement). The respondents emphasize the need to know international issues and law, and the main inspiration for improving competences is the changeability of the company's operating conditions and concern for its fate. The COVID-19 pandemic emphasizes that, especially in such circumstances, improving managerial competences is indispensable.ConclusionsThe obtained results undoubtedly show significant changes that have taken place in the way of performing professional functions, including managerial ones and shaping the competencies of managers, but also the complexity of the analyzed phenomenon and the problems articulated in this area.

Beyond the hype: a decision support framework for promoting critical thinking about the rationality of management practices
Authors: Kulikowski Konrad 
Published: June 2024

ObjectivesIn an era of management hype, where management concepts and techniques quickly become buzzwords within the business community (e.g., chat GPT, Artificial Intelligence, pay transparency or Industry 5.0), the crucial skill of a manager is the ability to think critically about the rationality of all those new shiny management practices. To stimulate this, we present a heuristic decision support framework to assist managers in thinking more critically about management fashions - management practices that are intensively promoted and attract public attention but merely imitate rationality and progress.Material and methodsWe employ a method of conceptual analysis, drawing from Abrahamson's management fashion theory, self-determination theory, literature on management fads and evidence-based management.ResultsThe proposed decision-making support framework presents a decision tree based on three steps to evaluate management practices' rationality, involving critical thinking about their goals, importance, and efficiency.ConclusionsThe framework can be used not only to assist managerial decision-making but also to teach management students to think more critically and to empower the business community to question the rationality of mainstream management practices. Our decision support framework might act as a vaccine for the so-called shiny object syndrome, the tendency to chase novel, popular, or exciting management practices without evaluating if they deliver what they promise.

Published: June 2024

Abstract
This article presents the results of a study on composite coatings based on high-entropy FeCoNiCrCuNb alloys with varying niobium content obtained through high-speed laser cladding. The primary objective of the research is to investigate the influence of composition on the structure, mechanical characteristics, and behaviour of the coatings. Microstructure analyses were performed using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive spectroscopy analysis. The microhardness, shear strength, and coefficient of friction of the composite coatings were examined. It was demonstrated that the microstructure of the coatings is characterized by fine grains and the presence of columnar crystals. An increase in copper content leads to a transition to the face-centred cubic phase with elevated niobium content, influencing the mechanical characteristics. It was revealed that niobium-containing composite coatings exhibit improved mechanical properties and wear resistance. The incorporation of niobium synergistically affects the mechanical characteristics of the alloys. The obtained results hold practical applicability in the field of engineering, particularly where wear resistance and strength are of paramount importance.

Published: June 2024

Abstract
The Central Java Province primarily contributes to the national food supply, serving as one of the leading centers for rice production on Java Island. In this province, there are indications of a shift in the interests of the population working in the agricultural sector, moving to other sectors outside of agriculture. This phenomenon is related to the productivity of the workforce in the agricultural sector. Based on that reality, this research examines labor productivity in lowland rice farming in the Central Java Province. The study is conducted in the Grobogan and Sukoharjo Regencies of the Central Java Province, involving 250 samples of lowland rice farmers. The research results indicate that labor productivity in lowland rice farming in the Central Java Province is 1.5 quintals/human working day. The labor productivity Hayami–Ruttan model analysis shows that seed, urea fertilizer, and pesticide quantity, as well as planting area, formal education, and age of farmers, significantly and positively influence labor productivity in wet rice farming in Central Java. The independent variables in the model can explain 61.12% of the variation in labor productivity in wet rice farming. Farmers must pay attention to these variables when implementing wet rice farming practices to increase labor productivity and profit so they do not have to work outside the agriculture sector.
