Medical Writing Bias in Myeloma Clinical Research: A Comprehensive Analysis

Background Previous studies investigating associations between pharmaceutical funding and clinical trial results have found ties between pharmaceutical sponsorship and results favoring the sponsor's interests. There are no studies examining potential sponsorship bias within the field of multiple myeloma (MM). Addressing sponsorship bias is essential to ensure reliability, validity, and ethical conduct of clinical research in the field of MM. This study analyzes potential sponsorship bias in MM specifically regarding use of medical writers that are employees of or directly funded by pharmaceutical companies among published clinical research studies of drugs approved to treat MM from January 2000 - March 2023. Methods Clinical study papers from PubMed between January 2000 and March 2023 were analyzed if at least 1 of the 10 following drugs were evaluated: bortezomib (BORT), carfilzomib (CARF), daratumumab (DARA, elotuzumab (ELO), isatuximab (ISA), ixazomib (IXA), lenalidomide (LEN), panobinostat (PAN), pomalidomide (POM), and selinexor (SELI), and the manufacturer of the drug(s) sponsored the study (N=1466). Papers were considered to contain potential medical writing bias if the paper was written by employees of the manufacturer of the drug(s) or medical writers directly funded by the manufacturer. Papers were analyzed by year, drug, and journal in which it was published. Results From 2000 - March 2006, no potential writing bias occurred. In 2007, it first became apparent when 4% (2/53) of papers showed bias which has increased as follows: 2008 - 2012 [14% (41/300)], 2013 - 2017 [25% (100/405)], 2018-2022 [33% (171/521)], and increased to 44% (12/27) in 2023. We also analyzed writing bias according to the specific drugs from January 2000 - March 2023 with the following rates of potential bias: ISA 93% (26/28), IXA 77% (36/47), DARA 76% (63/83), ELO 71% (17/24), SELI 62% (8/13), POM 55% (27/49), PAN 50% (9/18), BORT 47% (47/100), LEN 46% (75/163) and CARF 32% (15/47). Potential writing bias was also determined according to the specific medical journal in which the paper was published from 2000 - March 2023. Blood and British Journal of Haematology have the highest number of potentially biased manuscripts at 42 and 30, respectively, representing 25% (42/142) and 21% (30/143) of the papers published, respectively. New England Journal of Medicine and Lancet have high percentages of potential writing bias at 33% (9/27) and 46% (6/13), respectively. Many journals have 100% (n=6) but these sources only had 1 paper meeting the study criteria. Conclusion Since 2000, we have observed an alarming increase in the rate of clinical research papers evaluating drugs approved to treat MM which have been written by pharmaceutical company employees or medical writers directly funded by them. Notably, nearly half (44%) of papers published this year showed potential writing bias. Rates varied greatly between different drugs with ISA, IXA and DARA showing the highest rates of writing bias whereas BORT, LEN and CARF showed the lowest rates. Specific journals including Blood and British Journal of Haematology both show high numbers of papers with potential writing bias; and, furthermore, a high percentage of papers published in high impact journals such as the New England Journal of Medicine and Lancet show this type of potential bias. This practice of allowing medical writing to be carried out by those with direct ties to the pharmaceutical company is likely to result in the publication of papers with results and conclusions regarding the efficacy and safety of drugs that are biased which compromises their scientific integrity and objectivity.

FUZZY TOPSIS METHOD OF LEARNING METHODS SELECTION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS AMONG EMPLOYEES OF IT COMPANIES

For IT companies, one of the most important competitive advantages is a highly skilled workforce, so their learning and development, which can provide and stimulate this to a large extent, becomes one of the main priorities. In order to ensure its effectiveness, it is very important to select the most appropriate learning methods for the development of a specific set of skills. Therefore, the object of the article is the process of selecting the optimal method of learning of the employees of IT companies for the development of time management skills, which are important for each employee of the IT company, especially in the conditions of remote work. The goal is to improve the tools used to make such a choice. Fuzzy TOPSIS is the methodological basis of the article. The paper suggests a list of twelve criteria for achieving the research goal, which are divided into four groups: organisational aspects; resource components; quality criteria; and learning effectiveness criteria. The main choice was made from among six alternatives, including webinars, workshops, MOOCs, case studies, role-playing and shadowing. Because these learning methods are well suited to the development of time management skills. A total of three experts took part in this research. All of them work for IT companies and are qualified to carry out this type of analysis. The experts' linguistic ratings were converted into fuzzy triangular numbers on the basis of a seven-level linguistic scale. As a result, it was concluded that the best solution would be to use workshops to develop the time management skills of the company's employees. To check the reliability of the analysis, a sensitivity analysis was carried out, in which twelve different scenarios were analysed. In 75% of the cases, the result remained unchanged, which indicates a satisfactory level of quality of the calculations carried out. Thus, this approach makes it possible to significantly improve the effectiveness of employee learning and development through a well-founded selection of the most appropriate methods for developing a defined set of skills. It is also quite flexible and easily adaptable to other learning and development tasks.

Visual Style Elements in Human-System Interface Design for Nuclear Power Operations: Does Style Affect Performance and Preference?

As the world increasingly adopts renewable and sustainable energy systems, transitionary solutions include nuclear power, which currently provides 20% of the United States' electricity and is the largest single source of carbon-free electricity generation. Advanced reactors are a critical component of a carbon-free mixed energy portfolio that require careful design of first-of-a-kind control rooms. The application of Human Factors Engineering (HFE) is essential for scientific and iterative testing of novel human-system interface (HSI) concepts to ensure effective, efficient, and safe plant operations. Microworlds are simulators that use simplified physics models and control systems to distill nuclear power operations into essential functions. HFE scientists used the Rancor Microworld Simulator to obtain preference and performance metrics for novel and traditional static HSI design styles. Participants comprised advanced reactor company employees and nuclear industry consultants. A mixture of quantitative and qualitative data was captured. There was a preference for the basic graphical style that included high contrast and traditional color scheme elements. No single HSI design outperformed the others, and the participants did not perform better using their preferred HSI style. This experiment is the first in a series of HFE testing for HSIs in advanced reactor control room development. Clear user preferences emerged for elements within static displays. The cutting-edge neumorphic style was the least preferred. Future directions include tests of dynamic displays. HFE is used in evaluating and designing HSI devices that will improve the efficiency and safety of advanced nuclear power operations.

Accounting and control of transport movement of materials and employees in smart construction

Introduction. The implementation of innovative information and communication technologies in the construction industry has led to the emergence of a modern management concept known as “smart construction”. The information foundation of smart construction is based on accounting and control using unmanned aerial vehicles (drones). Drones are capable of monitoring the movement of material and labor resources of construction companies, which requires the improvement of accounting and control over construction processes.Purpose. The aim of the article is to investigate the prospects of using unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) in tracking the transportation of material assets and employees for the purpose of improving their accounting and control in smart construction.Methods. In the process of realizing the formulated research purpose, systematic, innovative, functional approaches, as well as methods of synthesis, bibliographic analysis, and comparative analysis, were used.Results. The importance of implementing unmanned aerial vehicle technology in smart construction for monitoring the movement of material and human resources of construction companies has been substantiated. Directions for improving the methodology and organization of accounting and control in the use of drones have been identified. The procedure for aerial visualization, identification, and data collection on the movement of material assets and operational personnel within the construction site for accounting and control purposes has been improved. The methodology for accounting and control of the transportation of material assets, inventory, and building structures has been refined, including their receipt, storage, transfer between warehouses, productive use, inefficient use, loss due to theft, and disposal. The use of drones for monitoring the movement of company employees for the purpose of accounting and control, including work hours, wages, performance of functional duties, downtime, unauthorized crossing of territorial boundaries, and more, has been proposed. An information scheme for accounting and control of the combined use of vehicles for the simultaneous transportation of surplus material resources and free operational personnel to construction sites has been developed. The emergence of combined transportation costs for the movement of material resources, which, from an accounting and control perspective, are transportation and procurement costs, for personnel – operational costs of construction companies, has been identified. Combined transportation ensures the optimization of construction processes, reduces the time required for construction work, and minimizes transportation and other expenses for companies.Perspectives. Further research is to develop a methodology for calculating wages on construction sites for both previous and current locations of operational personnel. This would involve a transformation of the personnel policy of construction companies.

Non-Financial Risks of Introducing Information Systems into the Activities of Transport and Logistics Companies

Today, digital transformation is a priority vector for development of all economic sectors of the Russian Federation; at the same time, special attention in this context is paid to the transport and logistics sector due to its great importance for the country’s economy. The implementation of information systems that meet modern requirements, as well as with added functionality, is one of the key components of work in the field of digital transformation of transport.Most often, in this regard the attention is paid to financial and technological risks, while the influence of the human factor is considered rather superficially. Hence, the need to examine the risks that are primarily associated with employees of transport and logistics companies, as well as the impact of those risks on digital transformation in general and on the process of implementing information systems in particular, to suggest ways to minimise those risks in the context of modern corporate culture. JSC Russian Railways, as well as PJSC Aeroflot Russian Airlines, are considered as examples of companies that have already implemented advancement within the digital transformation vector.
