Authors: Krišelj Tadeja , Markič Mirko , Zoran Annmarie Gorenc , Kolnik Tamara Štemberger 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Purpose
The aim of the study was to review national and international professional literature on the impact of knowledge management factors on the quality of care in healthcare systems.

Methodology
A review of national and international professional literature was conducted using Scopus, CINAHL, ScienceDirect, and ProQuest databases to search for freely accessible scientific articles and doctoral dissertations. We searched for doctoral dissertations in the Slovenian language of the University of Primorska, the University of Ljubljana, the University of Maribor, and the electronic library of the Faculty of Organizational Studies in Novo Mesto. We further searched for doctoral dissertations in English in the PQDT Open database. We identified 201 articles and 9 doctoral dissertations. After the screening phase, we included 19 full-text articles in the study.

Results
We identified the following key knowledge management factors that impact the quality of patient care in the healthcare system: knowledge acquisition, knowledge sharing, knowledge application, knowledge storage, and leadership.

Conclusion
The literature review showed that the application of knowledge management factors contributes to more productive and efficient work within the healthcare system. Additionally, these knowledge management factors have a positive impact on the implementation of improvements, job performance, job satisfaction, and the quality of healthcare services.
Estimating the Determinants of Bank Profitability: Comparative Study for EU and US Banks
Authors: Mijoč Ivo , Kuzmić Matija , Vujanić Matej 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background/Purpose
This paper examines the significant differences in market returns between the US and EU banking sectors following the 2008 financial crisis. The analysis reveals that the profitability of US banks, measured by return on equity, is higher than that of European banks, partially explaining the observed differences in returns.

Methodology
The study employs two unbalanced panels of data for EU and US banks covering the period 2008-2022. Static and dynamic estimators were used to identify significant determinants of bank profitability that include the impact of the profitability trend in the observed period on future profitability.

Results
Based on a sample of 250 banks, operational efficiency, diversification, and risk were found to influence the profitability of banks in both regions. For European banks, past profitability, the share of deposits and loans in assets, and inflation were also found to exert influence. On the other hand, American banks exhibit a higher predictive power for these variables, confirming the differences in determinants between the two markets. Although risk partially explains the higher profitability of American banks, other results did not confirm the original hypothesis.

Conclusion
The main contribution of the paper is a direct comparison of the determinants of profitability for EU and US banks using static and dynamic models in the post-2008 financial crisis period. In addition, the existing methodology of static models with dynamic estimators has been extended by WLS models and robust estimators, and it was shown that there are certain determinants influencing their profitability that should be extended and subsequently examined.
On the Expected ℒ2-Discrepancy of Stratified Samples from Parallel Lines
Authors: Pausinger Florian 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
We study the expected ℒ2-discrepancy of stratified samples generated from special equi-volume partitions of the unit square. The partitions are defined via parallel lines that are all orthogonal to the diagonal of the square. It is shown that the expected discrepancy of stratified samples derived from these partitions is a factor 2 smaller than the expected discrepancy of the same number of i.i.d uniformly distributed random points in the unit square. We conjecture that this is best possible among all partitions generated from parallel lines.

Published: February 2025

Many populations face the barriers of high medication costs due to limited resources, especially those served by student-run free clinics (SRFCs). As part of the solution, patient assistance programs (PAP) managed through pharmaceutical companies provide free medications to patients who are unable to afford them. Various PAP-related interventions have proven to improve efficiency and patient care in SRFCs. The Jackson Free Clinic (JFC) serves some of the most vulnerable populations in Mississippi, which as a state has performed poorly nationally in a variety of healthcare metrics. Proximity to such a population and access to service from training health professionals provides a unique opportunity to create change by implementation of student-driven PAP services.
The newly established PAP committee undertakes the tasks necessary to enroll, track, and dispense individual patients’ medications received through enrollment in a specific assistance program. The use of the PAP committee reduces the responsibility of medical and pharmacy teams, increases enrollment likelihood, improves medication adherence, decreases patient wait time, and improves patient care.
The development of the PAP committee has shown the value of implementing an organized PAP formulary, a consistent organizational structure, and an all-inclusive written hand-guide, which has created an improved training environment. Other results reported by regional SFRCs suggest the clinical and cost benefits of implementing PAP, particularly a committee. However, the novel method employed at JFC requires additional research and development toward the larger effort of improving patient care, which we plan to investigate with future endeavors.

Authors: Ansari Afzaal Rafeeq , Agarwal Divyam , Ghirepunje Sachin 
Published: February 2025

Objectives
The objective of this clinical study was to compare the effectiveness of intra-articular (IA) injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with that of hyaluronic acid (HA) in people with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA) over each follow-up interval.

Material and Methods
A randomised controlled trial included 60 patients. The National Health and Medical Research Council Clinical Trial Centre permuted a computer-generated random number sequence. After telephone, radiographic, and laboratory screening, administered three weekly IA knee injections. Blood was drawn to prevent blindness. Each weekly visit produced fresh PRP samples.

Results
PRP was compared to a HA in a study examining the treatment of knee OA, and the results are displayed. The two groups reported comparable levels of knee discomfort at baseline but after two months. Patients receiving PRP were likelier to report overall improvement at 12 months.

Conclusion
This study reveals that PRP is more effective than HA in treating patients with moderate to mild radiographic PRP-alone therapy in pain relief and function improvement for patients with Knee OA who are experiencing symptoms.

Личность преступников имеет особое значение с учетом уго­ловно-правовых, процессуальных, социальных, психологиче­ских и криминологических аспектов. В силу практики право­при­менения меры воздействия на осужденных, их ресоциали­за­ция приобретают особое значение. В то же время научные ис­сле­дования показывают, что личность преступника струк­тур­­но довольно сложна. Несмотря на ряд исследований, эти воп­росы в отечественной юридической науке малоизучены. В исследовании были проанализированы структурные и содер­жа­тельные стороны личности осужденного и отбывающих на­казание в исправительных учреждениях, а также сделана по­пытка выделения его общих и особых черт. Цель исследо­вания выявить содержательные особенности личности осуж­денных и раскрыть их характерные черты. В результате ста­тьи были обобщены характерные черты личности осуж­ден­ных, а также выделены их особенности.

The personality of criminals has a special meaning in terms of criminal law, procedural, social, psychological and criminological as­pects. Due to the practice of law enforcement, measures of in­fluen­­ce on convicts, their resocialization acquire a special impor­tance. At the same time, scientific studies show that the criminal's per­­sonality is structurally quite complex. Despite a number of stu­dies, these issues are poorly understood in domestic legal science. In the study, the structural and content aspects of the personality of the convict and those serving punishment in correctional ins­ti­tu­tions were analyzed, and an attempt was made to identify his ge­ne­ral and special features. The purpose of the study is to reveal the sub­stantive features of the convicts' personalities and reveal their characteristics. As a result, the article summarized the personality traits of the convicts, as well as highlighted their features.

Published: February 2025

From the perspective of aquatic ecology, there are problems of insufficient analysis and poor governance effect on the impact and ecological governance of urban and rural water pollution. Therefore, to achieve a good water cycle, it is of great practical significance to analyze the impact of urban and rural water pollution from the perspective of aquatic ecology and study the ecological governance model. Taking a certain research area as an example, an integrated ecological governance model under the perspective of aquatic ecology is designed, including source control, pollution interception, and restoration. The impact of urban and rural water pollution on soil environment, groundwater environment, and agricultural environment is analyzed, and the change of water pollution concentration before and after application is studied. The research results show that in the soil environment of the research area, most areas are lightly polluted, two other areas (Area 3, Area 4) are heavily polluted, one area (Area 7) is moderately polluted, and one area (Area 11) is unpolluted; in terms of groundwater environment, the degree of groundwater pollution in Area 1 and Area 2 is the highest, followed by Area 3 and Area 4, then Area 7 is moderately polluted, and other areas are lightly polluted or unpolluted; in terms of agricultural environment, as the pollution degree of irrigation water source increases, the emergence rate, yield, and dry matter content of crops all show a decreasing trend, indicating that the more serious the water pollution, the more serious the impact on the agricultural environment; after applying the research method, the highest water pollution concentration has been reduced by 0.8 mg/L, and the overall data is below 1.0 mg/L, the water pollution concentration has been reduced. Through this research, it is expected to achieve in-depth ecological governance and protect the aquatic environment. Doi: 10.28991/HIJ-2025-06-01-04 Full Text: PDF

Mass serological screening in the Armed Forces involves detecting serological markers of
chronic infections, particularly viral hepatitis B and C, syphilis, and HIV among young military
recruits. The objective of this study is to evaluate the analytical performance of the
chemiluminescence technique (CMIA-Architect i2000 SR) in mass serological screening using the serum-pooling method at the virology laboratory of the Mohammed V Military Teaching Hospital.
Samples with known serological results (positive/negative) were grouped into pools of different sizes (2, 5, 10, and 15 sera). These pools were tested using chemiluminescence (CMIA-Architect i2000 SR). A cost analysis was conducted to assess potential savings based on seroprevalence and pool size.
Results showed that the pooling method maintained 100% specificity. Overall sensitivities for detecting positive samples were 93.1% for HBV, 83.33% for HCV, and 86.36% for HIV. Positive and negative predictive values were high for all three viral markers, highlighting the reliability of the pooling method. Additionally, this approach generated significant cost savings, ranging from 46% to 80%.
Conclusion: This study demonstrated the solid analytical performance of the chemiluminescence technique (CMIA-Architect i 2000 SR) using the serum-pooling method for detecting HBV, HCV, and HIV serological markers in low-seroprevalence regions.
