ANALYSIS OF PAIN TREATMENT IN SOME MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS IN KYIV THAT TREAT WOUNDED COMBATANTS

Summary. On the way to reducing the incidence of pain chronicity, it is first of all necessary to analyze the existing problem, prioritize and differentiate factors that can potentially improve the situation. By analyzing the pain management system of a medical institution, it is easy to track its effectiveness, especially when it comes to the wounded, because a certain percentage of such patients nevertheless continue treatment at the next stage through strategic medical evacuation. Studying the intensity of pain during strategic medical evacuation allows, to some extent, to assess the effectiveness of pain treatment. Objective. To study the intensity of pain in combatants after wounds in medical institutions of Kyiv. Methods. The results of pain treatment in 368 combatants after wounds in some Kyiv hospitals are presented. Pain intensity was assessed using the numerical pain scale (NPS). Results. The analysis data show that the highest pain intensity score on the WSS was in the Municipal Nonprofit Enterprise "Kyiv City Clinical Hospital No. 6" and averaged 5.7 points, which meets the criteria for moderate pain. In the Municipal Nonprofit Enterprise Kyiv City Clinical Hospital No. 1 of the Executive Body of the Kyiv City Council (Kyiv City State Administration), this indicator was 4.0 points, in the Municipal Nonprofit Enterprise Kyiv City Clinical Hospital No. 4 – 3, 3 points, at the Municipal Nonprofit Enterprise "Kyiv City Clinical Hospital of Emergency Care" – 3.0 points, at the Municipal Nonprofit Enterprise "Kyiv City Clinical Hospital No. 8" and the Municipal Nonprofit Enterprise "Oleksandrivska Clinical Hospital of Kyiv" – 2.5 points, at Feofaniya Clinical Hospital of the State Administration of Affairs – 2.3 points, and at the National Military Medical Clinical Center "Main Military Clinical Hospital" – 2.2 points. High-intensity pain was experienced in 5% of cases, moderate pain in 19%, mild pain in 74%, and no pain in 2% of cases. Conclusion. Pain management in some Kyiv hospitals treating wounded requires the introduction of new approaches, as better pain control during treatment and evacuation can potentially improve long-term treatment outcomes. Supplementing the healthcare system with a pain management system may be important given the war and the number of wounded.

Effectiveness of chest pain center accreditation on the hospital outcome of acute aortic dissection: a nationwide study in China

BackgroundThe National Chest Pain Center Program (NCPCP) is a nationwide, quality enhancement program aimed at raising the standard of care for patients experiencing acute chest pain in China. The benefits of chest pain center (CPC) accreditation on acute coronary syndrome have been demonstrated. However, there is no evidence to indicate whether CPC accreditation improves outcomes for patients with acute aortic dissection (AAD).MethodsWe conducted a retrospective observational study of patients with AAD from 1671 hospitals in China, using data from the NCPCP spanning the period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2022. The patients were divided into 2 groups: pre-accreditation and post-accreditation admissions. The outcomes examined included in-hospital mortality, misdiagnosis, and Stanford type A AAD surgery. Multivariate logistic regression was employed to explore the relationship between CPC accreditation and in-hospital outcomes. Furthermore, we stratified the hospitals based on their geographical location (Eastern/Central/Western regions) or administrative status (provincial/non-provincial capital areas) to assess the impact of CPC accreditation on AAD patients across various regions.ResultsThe analysis encompassed a total of 40,848 patients diagnosed with AAD. The post-accreditation group exhibited significantly lower rates of in-hospital mortality and misdiagnosis (12.1% vs. 16.3%, P < 0.001 and 2.9% vs. 5.4%, P < 0.001, respectively) as well as a notably higher rate of Stanford type A AAD surgery (61.1% vs. 42.1%, P < 0.001) compared with the pre-accreditation group. After adjusting for potential covariates, CPC accreditation was associated with substantially reduced risks of in-hospital mortality (adjusted OR 0.644, 95% CI 0.599–0.693) and misdiagnosis (adjusted OR 0.554, 95% CI 0.493–0.624), along with an increase in the proportion of patients undergoing Stanford type A AAD surgery (adjusted OR 1.973, 95% CI 1.797–2.165). Following CPC accreditation, there were significant reductions in in-hospital mortality across various regions, particularly in Western regions (from 21.5 to 14.1%). Moreover, CPC accreditation demonstrated a more pronounced impact on in-hospital mortality in non-provincial cities compared to provincial cities (adjusted OR 0.607 vs. 0.713).ConclusionCPC accreditation is correlated with improved management and in-hospital outcomes for patients with AAD.

From planetary scenarios to planetary sensing: Models, observations, and political legibility

This paper explores the political uses of images generated by Earth System science. It argues that images of possible climate futures, maps of potential worlds of heatwaves and wildfires, are made legible to policymakers by an alliance with a class of climate-economy models that associate scientific estimates of climate impacts with a prescribed international policy and technology mix. While environmental models have successfully mobilized policymakers in the past by providing images of “planetary scenarios” accompanying different emissions pathways, with climate change a political actor outside the administrative state is required to overcome the entrenchment of fossil capital. The paper suggests such actors are empowered not by the rhetoric of scenario modeling but by the emerging practice of “planetary sensing,” where activists and stakeholders directly mobilize the planetary images generated by Earth System science as they work to evacuate prisons, track pollutants, and repair pipelines.

Intensified law enforcement and firm innovation: Evidence from China's antitrust consolidation

This paper examines the significant transformation in China's antitrust regulatory framework following the consolidation of its three primary antitrust agencies the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM), the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), and the State Administration for Industry & Commerce (SAIC) into the State Administration for Market Supervision (SAMR). Utilizing data from publicly listed firms across various industries, we analyze how firms in highly concentrated industries have adapted to this consolidation, by increasing the R&D investment, patent filing, and total factor productivity (TFP). Our mechanism channel indicates that stricter enforcement actions and fines by SAMR have spurred competition and innovation, with effects that are comparably significant across both state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and private firms. The paper contributes to the literature by providing an empirical assessment of the effects of this major restructuring within China's Anti-Monopoly Law (AML) enforcement. Our findings shed light on the broader implications of regulatory consolidations on firm innovation, offering insights into the efficacy of such transformations in antitrust policy.

The Development of Personnel Administration Model of Souphanouvong University

The main purpose of the present investigation was to develop a model for personnel administration of Souphanouvong University, Lao PDR. To achieve the objective, a mixed method research was employed and the study was divided into four phases. Phase 1 examined the current status of personnel administration. Regarding this phase, a document analysis was conducted and the survey questionnaires were administered to the sample group. The population for this phase was administrators and teahers who worked at the university in total of 415 people. The sample group was 324 participants who were selected by using a purposive sampling method. Phase 2 developed a personnel administration model by using a Dephi Technique. The questionnaire was used in this phase. The target group consisted of 19 experts who had experience in the area of personnel administratioin. Phase 3 evaluated the model of personnel administration in terms of feasibility, utility, propriety, and accuracy. The target group was 9 experts. The data were collected by using focus group discussion. Phase 4 confirmed the potential practice of the model. The target group for this phase was the administrators, staff, and teachers in total of 60 participants. The tool was the 5-Likert scale questionnaire and the data were computed to find mean and standard deviation. The findings are as follows. The current status of personnel administration was at a high level, meaning that the practice of personnel administration is appropriate. Also, the development of the personnel administration model consisted of seven components such as planning, selecting, managing, developing, rewarding, evaluating, and retiring. The evaluation of the model in terms of its feasibility, utility, propriety, and accuracy was at the high level. Finally, the results reveal that the model was confirmed as the high potential for application/practiced. This research illustrates a signficant knowledge for personnel administration in the context of Laos and beyond. It is suggested that the concerned university administrators consider implementing it and revising its policy.

Characteristics and social significance of the civil service

The article is devoted to the problems of the categorical apparatus of the civil service in Ukraine. The civil service in our country is recognized as one of the most important institutions in the formation and development of Ukrainian statehood. It is from this institute that the quality of functioning of the social and political system as a whole and the solution of multifaceted tasks and functions of the modern state depend. Civil service has the greatest influence on the development of constitutional and legal formations and is the basis of state construction. It is argued that the civil service is a complex and multifunctional, legal and political institution, the essence of which is the performance by officials who are endowed with high professionalism, act in a complex relationship and in close interaction both among themselves and with other systemic entities, political forces, by public organizations and citizens, tasks and functions of the state within the legal field and in accordance with the authority granted to them to create social benefits, further development of social well-being and stability in the state. The most important features of the civil service are highlighted: the content of the civil service is an activity aimed at the practical implementation of tasks and functions of the state (analysis, development and implementation of state policy, ensuring the provision of affordable and high-quality administrative services, etc.); the public nature of this activity; professionalism; politically impartial character. It has been established that the priority of human rights and interests over the interests of the state should be the main feature of modern civil service. The goal of the civil service is disclosed, which consists in streamlining and increasing the efficiency of the processes of formation and implementation of state power and state administration, provided that responsibility for the performance of the powers of the position and social and economic guarantees of the civil service are combined. The main goals and tasks of the civil service have been defined in terms of ensuring the fair, effective and stable activity of state authorities in accordance with their powers and competence, aimed at protecting the rights and freedoms of people and citizens, as well as creating conditions for the development of civil society.

City Regionalism in the Global South: Evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa

This study investigates city regionalism within the context of state restructuring in postcolonial Ghana. To understand Ghana’s emerging city regionalism, first, we argue that planning is marshaled as an institutional instrument to materialize the state’s vision of remaking national territory and internationalizing the state. Second, city regionalism is a political process leveraged by a unique power geometry. The study adopts Ghana’s Northern Savannah Ecological Zone (NSEZ) regional plan to elucidate city regionalism in the Global South. Our findings reveal the central government’s inclination toward endogenous territorial restructuring, by which city region development is centrally orchestrated and state guided. In addition, city regionalism is influenced by the geostrategic ambitions of international capital, especially Chinese capital, which seeks to draw investment into the built environment and infrastructure. The central government’s customization of a regional governance agency, the Northern Development Authority (NDA), and the decentralization of land resources give rise to a “dumbbell” power structure. The concentration of legal and cohesive power in the central government and an overly privatized land ownership regime characterize this dumbbell power structure. The operation of the NDA is thus a scaffolding with no substantial power. The central government exercises restrictive fiscal regulation over regional and local states in the NSEZ. These two dimensions hamper the effective implementation of the regional plan. Collaboration between different levels of state administration, traditional authorities, and civil society actors is imperative to address the complexities of city regionalism in postcolonial Ghana.

Theoretical and legal nature of the concepts of supervision and control and their relationship

It is indicated that in the modern conditions of the transformation of the legal system of Ukraine, the study of the concepts of supervision and control acquires special relevance. This is due to the need to ensure the effective functioning of state administration, compliance with law and order, as well as to improve the quality of public services. The article examines the theoretical and legal nature of the concepts of supervision and control and their relationship. The author draws attention to the fact that supervision and control are important elements of the legal system of Ukraine, which ensure compliance with legality and proper implementation of legal norms. Despite the common features, these institutes have different theoretical and legal nature and perform specific tasks. The article notes that understanding the theoretical and legal nature of supervision and control, as well as their relationship, is necessary for the effective functioning of the legal system and ensuring the rule of law in Ukraine. Attention is drawn to the fact that in the modern conditions of the development of the Ukrainian state, the role of supervision and control is becoming particularly relevant. They are important tools in the fight against corruption, ensuring legality and increasing the efficiency of public administration. Improving these mechanisms and adapting them to modern challenges is a key task for ensuring sustainable development and strengthening the rule of law in Ukraine. the study of the concepts of supervision and control in Ukraine is extremely relevant and important. Attention is drawn to the fact that in the modern conditions of the development of statehood and the legal system, the study of supervision and control acquires special significance for ensuring the stable and harmonious development of society and the state. One of the key aspects of the relevance of the study of the concepts of supervision and control lies in their role in ensuring legality and law and order. In the conditions of democratic development of the state, it is important that the activities of state bodies, organizations and institutions meet the requirements of legislation.

However, its role in resolving legal disputes in the civil and state administrative fields is still less effective, both through litigation and non-litigation channels, which are influenced by the substance of the law, human resources of the apparatus, facilities and infrastructure, public legal awareness, and legal culture. Research Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of this research are discussed, providing insights into how the results can be applied or influence practices in the field of [insert field of study]. These implications could encompass [list impacted areas or sectors]. Originality/Value: The essence of the role of the State Attorney is to represent the legal interests of the state, government, BUMN / BUMD, and the community through various forms of legal assistance and action, but the effectiveness of its role in resolving legal disputes in the fields of Civil and State Administration is still less than optimal, influenced by legal substance, human resources, facilities and infrastructure, public legal awareness, and legal culture.

Is There Gap between Operating Performance of Systemically Important and Non-Systemically Important Banks in China?--Empirical Study based on Public Panel Data after Release of List

On September 22, 2023, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) and the State Administration for Financial Regulation (SAFS) released the latest list of China Systemically Important Banks (D-SIBs). This study aims to analyze whether there is a gap in operational performance between (D-SIBs) and (D-SIBs) under additional regulation. The research method uses independent sample t-tests in statistics and the AHP_DEA model for financial bank operational performance. The research results indicate that there are differences in the operational performance of systemically important banks and non-systemically important banks in certain indicators. systemically important banks have a larger share in the entire banking system, and systemically important banks face more regulatory constraints than non-systemically important banks. This makes the cost of capital restructuring for systemically important banks higher, thereby reducing the speed of capital restructuring. However, further analysis indicates that there is no significant difference in operational performance and risk control between banks with systemic importance and nonsystemic influence. In view of this, systemically important banks must invest in technology and innovation to improve operational efficiency.

Radical Thought and Political Practice: Officeholding and Accountability in Seventeenth-Century Britain

Abstract This article connects changes in administrative and bureaucratic processes that historians associate with state formation in early modern Britain with overlooked developments in thinking about political accountability. It blends the social history of state administration with intellectual history, and involves synoptic analysis as well as striking case studies. It argues that innovative political thinking emerged from new forms of political practice, and from the experiences of humble officials in the localities. Such individuals were increasingly professionalized and specialized, and their work was increasingly described using the language of trust, public interest, and state’s service. The mid-seventeenth century accentuated the process by which they came to be accountable to a centralized state, not least through the routinization and intensification of quotidian practices associated with enhanced communication between center and locality. Ultimately, the article argues that such processes, as well as more regular and direct interactions between political elites and humble officials, encouraged new kinds of political thinking. These were not quite unintended, but they may not have been fully anticipated either, and they involved innovative attempts to subject higher officials to oversight from “below,” and to legitimize their accountability to an adjudicating public, in ways that may even have had a lasting effect on English political culture.

Disaster Protection Education and Training Concepts and Policies

In the context of natural human rights, the foundation of the modern state, as well as the systems approach, relevant basic concepts and state policies have been generated to increase the effectiveness of disaster and crisis protection education and training. Their goals for increasing the effectiveness of officials training in the state and local administration, as well as the population for disaster and crisis response, are substantiated. An organizational-cultural approach to the formation of an appropriate, citizen engaging, cultural model for more effective achievement of these goals has been considered. As an important system-forming element, a key regulatory framework for disaster protection, which must be known and applied by the state and local administration, as well as the population, is analyzed. On this basis, necessary and relevant concepts and policies to increase the effectiveness of disaster and crisis protection education and training are derived and substantiated.

Inheriting the royals: royal chartered bodies in Ireland after 1922

The establishment of the Irish Free State (Saorstát Éireann) in 1922 did not occur on a blank canvas. A slew of administrative bodies and agencies with pre-1922 origins now found themselves under a new jurisdiction, still familiar in some respects but alien in others. The Irish State Administration Database indicates that the functions performed by these pre-1922 bodies included the delivery of public services and regulatory oversight. The resilience of pre-1922 bodies arguably ensured a greater degree of day-to-day administrative continuity and stability after 1922 than may otherwise have been the case.This article focuses on a particular subset of these pre-1922 entities – royal chartered bodies – carried into Saorstát Éireann and beyond. Of special interest are the peculiar legal mechanisms through which these bodies were sustained in an altered constitutional landscape. The discontinuation of a pre-1922 royal prerogative to grant and amend royal charters presented legal conundrums for royal chartered bodies and the state. This was mitigated through a mixture of tailored public and private legislation of the Oireachtas. These dynamics are interrogated through the lenses of temporality and legal pluralism.

KAJIAN STANDAR PELAYANAN MINIMAL BIDANG PERUMAHAN PADA KEGIATAN DI KABUPATEN TANGERANG (Studi Kasus: Kecamatan Kronjo dan Kecamatan Mauk Kabupaten Tangerang)

Public services are a basic right for citizens that must be fulfilled by the state and government administrators. One of the public services in the housing sector is the Minimum Service Standards (SPM) for uninhabitable houses (RTLH) that are rehabilitated or relocated. SPM is also carried out for the construction of RTLH due to disasters. In order to support the development of livable housing (RLH), it is necessary to calculate the SPM achievements and evaluate the SPM for RLH activities in realizing social justice for the community. The aim of the research is to determine the achievements of the SPM for RLH Rehabilitation activities and evaluate the SPM for RLH activities. The method used in this research is a descriptive quantitative method by analyzing the data collection objectively using a scoring instrument and producing an evaluation criterion on a scale: (Good, Fair or Poor). Research locations in Pagenjahan Village, Kronjo District and Ketapang Village, Mauk District. The research results show: 1. Achievements of SPM for RLH Provision and Rehabilitation Activities in Tangerang Regency, a. post-disaster results achieved 100% category (Good), b. Relocation results achieved 100% category (Good); 2. Evaluation of SPM Provision and RLH Activities in Tangerang Regency, a. post-disaster results achieved 37.02% category (Poor), b. Relocation results achieved 56.99% category (Fair). The results of the SPM achievements in the RLH Provision and Rehabilitation activities by calculating the achievements obtained a percentage of 100% in the Post-Disaster and Relocation activities, in the Good category. The results of the SPM evaluation of RLH Provision and Rehabilitation Activities using scoring calculations showed different results, and tended to be less good, this happened due to a lack of monitoring of the documents created.

PENERAPAN PRINSIP DEMOKRASI DALAM SISTEM PEMILIHAN UMUM DI INDONESIA PERSPEKTIF FIQH SIYASAH

Since the reform era began in 1998 in Indonesia, political transformation has been significant. This period not only marked the end of the authoritarian government under President Soeharto, but also paved the way for changes in the political and constitutional system in Indonesia. This change not only changes the way of life of the people, but also changes the constitutional system of the Indonesian nation through amendments to the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. Article 1 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution reads, "Sovereignty is in the hands of the people and is implemented according to the Constitution. In the Indonesian state administration there are also Islamic constitutional values, this can be seen by the concept of deliberation, equality and justice which is running as it should. This research aims to review the application of democratic principles in general elections and how Islamic state administration is reviewed (fiqh siyasah ) in the implementation of general elections in Indonesia. Through a normative juridical approach, this research analyzes the regulations governing the democracy and election system in Indonesia, including the 1945 Constitution and the Election Law. Research highlights the importance of implementing democratic principles such as popular sovereignty, equal rights, free and secret elections, and accountability and transparency in the electoral process. However, challenges such as money politics, identity politics and the spread of false information are still problems in the implementation of elections. This research suggests steps to improve the electoral system to ensure that democracy can function effectively and produce results that are more representative of the will of the people and that it is in accordance with Islamic constitutional principles (fiqh siyasah)

The Nature of The Role of State Attorney Prosecutors in Legal Assistance in The Civil and State Administrative Fields

This research aims to comprehensively examine the role of the State Attorney in providing legal assistance within Civil and State Administration, assess its effectiveness in resolving legal disputes, and identify key factors influencing its efficacy. Adopting a theoretical framework that integrates normative legal research and sociological legal research, the study analyzes laws governing the State Attorney's functions while evaluating how these are perceived and applied in practice. Through a descriptive approach utilizing mixed methods, including the study of legal documents, interviews with State Attorneys, and field observations, the research reveals that while the State Attorney plays a crucial role in representing the legal interests of various entities, including the state, government, BUMN/BUMD, and the community, its ability to effectively resolve legal disputes in Civil and State Administration settings is hindered by complexities in legal frameworks, limitations in human resources and infrastructure, varying levels of public legal awareness, and the prevailing legal culture. This study's findings offer practical and theoretical insights that can guide enhancements in legal assistance practices and policy development within the field.
