Ghana’s Health Professions Regulatory Bodies Act, 2013 (Act 857) and its Adequacy in Governing Healthcare Delivery and Medical Negligence Issues

Ghana instituted the Health Professions Regulatory Bodies Act, 2013 (Act 857) as landmark legislation seeking to enhance accountability, quality, and ethics in healthcare delivery through establishment of Regulatory Councils governing licensing, practice standards, continuing education and discipline across doctors, nurses, pharmacists and allied health professions. This analysis evaluates adequacies and shortcomings in Act 857’s frameworks to uphold standards of care and address medical negligence five years post-enactment. Progress is visible in standardized licensing protocols enabling oversight on practitioner competence via license issuance premised on education levels cleared by exams and checks. Channeling complaints through uniform procedures and linking license retention to ethical practice foster transparency. However, Act 857 falls short on comprehensively governing healthcare delivery systems issues beyond workforce such as infrastructure standards and access inequities exacerbating quality limitations and negligence risks. Narrow focus on professional self-regulation also constrains capacities to fully enforce broader quality benchmarks relating patient experience, technology support etc. Additionally, while intending to elevate conduct, complainant-driven procedures and restrictive litigation limitation periods instituted constrain efficacies in optimizing deterrence, accountability and access to justice for victims of medical negligence. Considerable legislative reforms are imperative to institute unified healthcare infrastructure standards and access equity provisions while rebalancing laws to enable equitable patient protections when harmed by substandard care. Implementation strategies also require realignment, beyond workforce to system-wide accountability, to actualize healthcare delivery enhancement goals via Act 857.

Digital technologies in the AEC sector: a comparative study of digital competence among industry practitioners

The successful implementation of digital technologies (DT) in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) projects necessitates workflow adjustment, crew scheduling, equipment optimization, and efficient collaboration among project parties. Understanding the digital capabilities of industry professionals is essential for the effective deployment of DT. This paper examines the competence of AEC practitioners in 14 types of DT through a questionnaire survey involving 428 participants. Descriptive statistics, including mean scores and standard deviations, were calculated to understand the competence levels of different DT. Specific inferential statistical tests, such as chi-square tests and Mann–Whitney U tests investigated disparities in competence across different business types, operational years, and company sizes. The results indicate that cloud technology, global positioning systems, and building information modeling were predominantly recognized and utilized, whereas blockchain remained underexplored. Notably, building contractors, small and medium-sized enterprises, and start-ups lagged behind their counterparts in digital competence, with large-scale enterprises exhibiting better knowledge but limited implementation of DT. The findings underscore the need for targeted upskilling efforts to harness DT knowledge effectively and manage digital resources within organizations undergoing digital transformation. The research contributes to the literature on digital competence within the AEC sector and sets the stage for further research into effective DT adoption and deployment interventions.

Leveraging Digital Workflows to Transition the Orthotics and Prosthetics Profession Toward a Client-Centric and Values-Based Care Model.

The orthotics and prosthetics (O&P) profession has a history of responding to market demands in a reactive rather than proactive manner. This has created significant impacts including shrinkage in scope of practice and constraint in remuneration for professional services due to a fee-for-device third party payer system. Rapid changes in technology and healthcare combined with an outdated device-centric reimbursement system are creating unprecedented challenges that threaten sustainability of the O&P profession. Hence, a reassessment of the value of O&P care, and the O&P workflow process is necessary to inform an update to the value proposition and practice model for sustainability. This article reviews key factors contributing to the current state of O&P, and potential solutions involving an update in practitioner competencies, and the care delivery model (from device-centric to client-centric and values-based). Updates could be achieved by leveraging the use of digital workflows that increase efficiencies and enhance the value of clinical outcomes. Eventually, these updates could enable the O&P profession to elevate the value proposition that aligns with its most important stakeholders: client-patients and third-party reimbursement agencies in a rapidly changing technology and healthcare landscape.

Curriculum and Competency Guidelines for the Advanced Care Practitioner in Infectious Disease.

Changes in the health care delivery system have altered the way internal medicine (IM) is practiced, with inclusion of subspecialty advanced care practitioners (ACPs) as vital members of the health care team. ACPs are provided the clinical settings and educational resources within an academic center to become competent in recognizing and managing common and complicated infectious diseases (ID). The ID ACP will be given progressive responsibility with expectations for achievement of milestones as they develop into competent practitioners. We seek to ensure quality, cost-effective, and comprehensive patient-centered care on the ID service in the inpatient and ambulatory settings in compliance with national standards and scope of practice recommendations and regulations. In recognition of the expanding role of ACPs, we developed a curriculum and guidelines in the subspecialty of ID. Our proposal greatly adds to the available literature for ACPs to provide the full spectrum of ID practice.

Spiritual health practitioners' contributions to psychedelic assisted therapy: A qualitative analysis.

Psychedelic-assisted therapies hold early promise for treating multiple psychiatric conditions. However, absent standards for the care, teams providing psychedelic-assisted therapy pose a major roadblock to safe administration. Psychedelics often produce spiritually and existentially meaningful experiences, and spiritual health practitioners have been involved in administering psychedelic-assisted therapies in multiple settings, suggesting important qualifications for delivering these therapies. However, the roles and competencies of spiritual health practitioners in psychedelic-assisted therapies have not been described in research. This study examined interviews with 15 spiritual health practitioners who have facilitated psychedelic-assisted therapy. Thematic analyses focused on their contributions, application of expertise and professional background, and roles in administering these therapies. Seven themes emerged, comprising two domains: unique and general contributions. Unique contributions included: competency to work with spiritual material, awareness of power dynamics, familiarity with non-ordinary states of consciousness, holding space, and offer a counterbalance to biomedical perspectives. General contributions included use of generalizable therapeutic repertoire when conducting PAT, and contributing to interdisciplinary collaboration. Spiritual health practitioners bring unique and specific expertise to psychedelic-assisted therapy based on their training and professional experience. They are skilled at interprofessional collaboration in a way that complements other clinical team members. Psychedelic-assisted therapy teams may benefit from including spiritual health practitioners. In order to ensure rigorous standards and quality care, further efforts to delineate the roles and necessary qualifications and training of spiritual health clinicians for psychedelic-assisted therapy are needed.

Страховий ринок, ринок страхування і ринок страхових послуг: наукові погляди, нове розуміння і визначення

Educational programs need to be updated and improved, taking into account the latest legislative changes to correctly reflect the transformations of financial services markets and the evolution of the main concepts of financial science. This affects the quality of educational training, the scientific component in higher education institutions of Ukraine, and the professional competence of future practitioners and scientists. The article aims to reveal, improve the essence and formulate the definition of the concepts of the market of insurance services, insurance market, and market of insurance, taking into account the new legislation in the insurance field and achievements of financial science. The methodological basis of the research is the position of the theory of open economy, as well as the methods of system analysis. The study includes four sections: the first section provides a brief review of scientific works on the definition of the insurance market; the second section contains the analysis of Ukrainian insurance legislation regarding the insurance market; the third section presents the quantitative calculations and a new understanding of basic concepts; in the last subsection, the authors explain how the concepts of the insurance market and the market of insurance services differ, highlight the activities of the regulatory bodies of the insurance market, and show the unresolved problem of insurance guarantees in the market. The analysis points to the still unsolved problem of state guarantees of returning insurance premiums to clients if the insurer ceases insurance activity. In this regard, the expediency of creating the Insurance Guarantee Fund, which should become a participant in the insurance market, is argued. It was found that the concepts of the market of insurance services and the market of insurance are identical. The concept of the insurance market covers the market of insurance and is distinguished by the fact that there are regulatory bodies in the insurance market. Based on the provisions of the open economy theory and the analysis of behavioral aspects of market participants, the work proposes new definitions of the concepts of the market of insurance services and the insurance market.

Licensing Insolvency Practitioners in Zambia: Aligning with International Best Practices

A well-regulated insolvency regime is crucial for fostering economic activity. This article examines a recent development in Zambia’s insolvency framework – the introduction of licensing requirements for insolvency practitioners by the Patents and Companies Registration Agency (PACRA) under the Corporate Insolvency Act No. 9 of 2017. We analyse how this aligns with international best practices in insolvency regulation, where jurisdictions like the UK, South Africa, and Kenya have similar licensing regimes to ensure practitioners competence and ethical conduct.The article further explores the potential for strengthening the Zambian system by considering the experience requirement for accreditation observed in other countries. We discuss the potential benefits of such a requirement, such as improved service quality and a more specialized pool of insolvency professionals. By examining Zambia’s recent licensing initiative and exploring the possibility of an experience requirement, this article contributes to the ongoing discussion on how to create effective and efficient insolvency regimes.

LEGAL CULTURE AND CODIFICATION OF INDUSTRY TERMINOLOGY

The problem of effective practical interdisciplinary and intersectoral application of industry (special) terminologies (including in law enforcement practice) is caused by the chaotic generation of terms and the probabilistic nature of the formation of terminologies. This is partly due to the lack of terminological and legal competencies of industry scientists and practitioners. Therefore, the goal of systematically streamlining industry terminologies, taking into account their interdisciplinary and intersectoral application, is achieved by solving the following problems: analysing of factual material; increasing the efficiency of the process of streamlining and codifying industry terminologies, terminological and legal competencies of industry specialists. The latter is proposed to be linked with the formation of terminological and legal culture and tradition. This makes it possible to achieve greater orderliness of industry terminology, legal clarity and unambiguity of codified terms through the efforts of interdisciplinary groups of scientists and practitioners. The main factual material is related to the use of medical terminology and the “wastewater” terminology system. The following were assessed: terminological and legal culture according to the level of relevant competencies of industry specialists; facts of inconsistent codification of terminologies and the absence of a common organizational cultural tradition of codification of terms and terminologies were analyzed; experience in the use of codified and non-codified terms and terminology systems in law enforcement practice. To solve the research problems, terminological, systemic and other well-known methodologies, methods and approaches were used. It was proposed to: improve the legal and terminological culture of developers of industry terminologies; form a tradition of ordering and codification of terms and terminologies; create interdisciplinary teams of competent specialists to solve codification problems; take into account previously made decisions and the experience of their application in law enforcement practice. A practically significant result is associated with the effective use of ordered and codified industry terminologies in law enforcement practice.

Evaluating the Use of International Standards for Assurance Engagements by Nonaccounting Practitioners

SUMMARY When last revising the International Standard for Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000, the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) determined that it is in the “public interest” for all competent practitioners (including nonaccounting practitioners) to use the ISAEs. The IAASB imposed conditions on such use, that an engagement’s underpinning ethics and quality control frameworks should be disclosed in the assurance report. Although this explicit determination may encourage wider use of ISAEs by nonaccounting practitioners, the conditions imposed may also act as a deterrent. Using a pre-post design on 2,282 international assurance engagements undertaken by nonaccounting practitioners, we identify increased use of ISAEs and greater disclosure of underpinning ethics and quality control frameworks, although some breaches remain. We further find that switches to ISAEs by nonaccounting practitioners have resulted in enhanced transparency of assurance procedures and independence in the assurance report and an increased share of the assurance services market.

An Empirical Investigation on Healthcare Professionals' Work Ethic and Ethical Attitudes: The Impact of Leadership Qualities on Ethics Construct and Professional Behaviors

The ability to act ethically is essential for providing high-quality treatment, yet there is a dearth of qualitative research on healthcare practitioners' perceptions of ethical competence. In this study, the ethical competence of healthcare practitioners was examined in the context of student healthcare. The way healthcare is delivered is changing, calling for adjustments to descriptions of and frameworks for ethical leadership. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationships between various leadership styles and healthcare professionals' conceptions of and attitudes toward work ethics. Participants in a cross-sectional study that employed the snowball sampling technique were healthcare professionals. The survey used in this study was divided into two sections: the first section collected data on the sociodemographic characteristics of the participants, and the second section contained three validated assessment scales, including inquiries about work ethics, ethical attitudes for public health professionals, and leadership abilities. Higher work ethics and a higher intrinsic work motivation subscale were significantly correlated with high leadership administrative skills (Beta = 6.04, p = 0.019 and Beta = 2.55, p 0.001, respectively). However, a lower intrinsic work motivation subscale was associated with higher leadership conceptual skills (Beta = 1.07, p = 0.027). Stronger leadership and administrative skills were found to be significantly correlated with higher ethical attitudes scores (Beta = 28.39, p 0.001). The work ethic in the delivery of various public health services is significantly improved by higher administrative leadership. Leadership abilities can considerably predict an individual's ethical attitude and professional behavior and are not restricted to a particular profession, experience, or stage of a person's career in the healthcare industry

STRATEGI PEMBELAJARAN MELALUI MAGANG PROGRAM MERDEKA BELAJAR KAMPUS MERDEKA PADA PROGRAM STUDI PERBANKAN SYARIAH DI ERA PANDEMI

The development of Islamic banking in Indonesia increases the need for competent practitioners from Islamic Banking Study Program graduates. These graduates can reduce the need for basic training, thereby increasing the efficiency of Islamic banks. The government supports this through policies such as the Indonesian National Qualifications Framework (KKNI) and Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM), which aim to create a link and match between higher education and industry. Internships are a form of MBKM learning that can strengthen student competencies. The Analytic Network Process (ANP) method identifies and analyzes problems supporting MBKM in the Islamic Banking Study Program. The research shows two main issues: the duration of internships that the industry considers too long and the difficulty of ensuring learning outcomes (LLOs) by academics. The recommended strategies to overcome these problems include: Establishing good relationships with partners, Improving systems and procedures, Conducting partner selection, Increasing the number of partners. Implementing these strategies is expected to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the learning process through internships.

Harmonisasi Sosial Melalui Pendekatan Religi: Respons Kemanusiaan Bagi Masyarakat Terdampak Letusan Gunung Semeru

Indonesia, known for its geological richness, often experiences natural disasters. One such event was the eruption of Mount Semeru in December 2021 in Lumajang Regency, East Java. The incident posed complex recovery challenges. According to the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) report, infrastructure damage reached billions of rupiahs, and thousands of residents were displaced. The challenges extended beyond infrastructure recovery, encompassing the psychological recovery of traumatized residents. Disruptions to the local economy, family separations, and other losses exacerbated the psychosocial burden faced by the affected population. The communities impacted by the eruption of Mount Semeru faced diverse challenges, particularly in religious aspects and the fulfillment of funeral rites (Rukun Kematian). This study highlights the importance of meeting funeral rites needs at every Social Facility (Fasilitas Sosial or Fasos) as a primary foundation for post-disaster recovery. Through collaboration with BNPB, the Social Assistance Program has successfully allocated resources for meeting these needs. Surveys of each Fasos revealed their specific requirements, ranging from funeral equipment to loudspeakers. Technical assistance related to funeral rites was provided by competent practitioners. Although it has shown positive impacts, this research emphasizes the sustainability of assistance as a key factor in the long-term recovery of the affected community. As a recommendation, this assistance should continue, considering the dynamics and changing needs of the community, to ensure ongoing optimal support in facing post-disaster challenges.

Core competencies in critical care for general medical practitioners in South Africa: A Delphi study.

Despite a high burden of disease that requires critical care services, there are a limited number of intensivists in South Africa (SA). Medical practitioners at district and regional public sector hospitals frequently manage critically ill patients in the absence of intensivists, despite these medical practitioners having had minimal exposure to critical care during their undergraduate training. To identify core competencies in critical care for medical practitioners who provide critical care services at public sector hospitals in SA where intensivists are not available to direct patient management. A preliminary list of core competencies in critical care was compiled. Thereafter, 13 national and international experts were requested to achieve consensus on a final list of core competencies that are required for critical care by medical practitioners, using a modified Delphi process. A final list of 153 core competencies in critical care was identified. The core competencies identified by this study could assist in developing training programmes for medical practitioners to improve the quality of critical care services provided at district and regional hospitals in SA. The study provides consensus on a list of core competencies in critical care that non-intensivist medical practitioners managing critically ill patients in healthcare settings in South Africa, especially where intensivists are not readily available, should have. The list can form the core content of training programmes aimed at improving critical care competence of general medical practitioners, and in this way hopefully improve the overall outcomes of critically ill patients in South Africa.

Discussions Concerning the Generalist-Specialist Combination Management Model of Chronic Kidney Disease

In recent years, the effective management of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is gaining growing attention. In 2014, our hospital established the CKD generalist-specialist combination management model, which incorporates a set of CKD management processes. The generalist component incorporates the following, general practitioners from 6 community health centers in the surrounding areas (with about 650 000 permanent residents in the region) joining hands, setting up a management team composed of doctors and nurses, and formulating management protocols for patient follow-up, patient record management, screening, risk assessment, examination and treatment, nutrition and exercise, and two-way referrals. The specialist component of the model incorporates the following, providing trainings for general practitioners in the in the community in the form of lectures on special topics and case discussion sessions, and organizing 7 national-level workshops for continuing medical education in the past decade, covering about 1 400 participants. In addition, regular meetings of the support groups of patients with renal diseases were organized to carry out information and education activities for patients. We have set up 4 community-based training centers and 6 specialized disease management centers, including one for diabetic nephropathy. We have retrospectively analyzed the risk factors of elderly CKD patients by establishing the elderly physical examination database (which has a current enrollment of 26 000 people), the elderly community CKD cross-sectional survey database, and the elderly CKD information management system. After 10 years of management practice, the level of institutionalization and standardization of CKD specialty management in our hospital has been improved. Moreover, we have expanded the management team and extended the management base from the hospital to community. We have improved the level of CKD management in community health centers and improved the specialty competence of the general practitioners in the communities. The generalist-specialist combination management model makes it possible for CKD patients to receive early screening and treatment, obtain effective and convenient follow-up and referral services, and improve their quality of life. Patients with complications such as diabetes, hypertension, and sarcopenia could access treatments with better precision. It is necessary to carry out the generalist-specialist integrated management of CKD, which is worthy of further development and improvement.

Determination of the priority competencies of general practitioners (family doctors) in the Russian Federation: rationale and research protocol

The outcomes of competency-based medical education (CBME), is becoming increasingly important, especially for general practitioners (GPs). The research team of the National Medical Research Center for Therapy and Preventive Medicine, with the support of the Russian Society for the Prevention of Noncommunicable Diseases, initiated a study "Management of the quality of training of general practitioners (family doctors)", the aim of which is to determine the priority competencies of GPs (family doctors) of the Russian Federation. As the main research approach in the ascertaining experiment, the Delphi method is proposed to use. The respondents are GPs with experience in practical healthcare, general practice residents, teachers of departments of general practice.Conclusion. The planned research is of high significance for the theory and practice of professional education, in particular the training of GPs. Scientific rationale of GP qualification characteristics, which are the target component of the educational system for training GPs, will make it possible to determine the patterns of the educational process and the principles for selecting the content of educational programs, as well as methodological systems and conditions for training GPs. Ranking competencies according to their importance in professional activities by GPs (family doctors) of the Russian Federation will help determine key competencies and will make it possible to see the position of doctors in the priority of GP activities, which is directly related to assessing the healthcare quality

Understanding the relevance of surgical specialties in undergraduate medical education: Insights of graduates.

The relevance of training medical students in surgical specialty services has been a matter of debate in contexts where the health care system focuses on primary health care. Some educators argue that medical students should be trained in primary care settings. Other educators assert that rotating in highly complex hospitals strengthens the competencies of future general practitioners. Nonetheless, little attention has been paid to the added value that rotations in surgical specialties have brought to newly graduated doctors' lives. In this study, we explored the perceptions of a group of graduates by focusing on the relevant experiences they had during their surgical specialty rotations in undergraduate medical training and how this training influenced their personal and professional life. We conducted a qualitative study using a convenience sampling strategy to recruit a total of seven junior doctors. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews in 2022. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data until code saturation was reached. The recurring themes were (1) perception of rotations, (2) valuable learning for medical practice and (3) defining their professional future. Participants felt that their experiences in surgical specialty rotations were beneficial, as they gained confidence to perform professionally and decide on future employment and strengthened their research and primary healthcare competencies. Although training in primary healthcare centres is crucial in undergraduate medical education, these results suggest that including rotations in surgical specialties may be valuable in enhancing the future careers of junior doctors.

Service-level barriers and facilitators to father engagement in child and family services: A systematic review and thematic synthesis of qualitative studies

Background and objectivesService-level factors that influence father engagement within child and family services are not well understood due to diversity in research studies and evidence from different contexts. Accordingly, the aim of this systematic review was to identify and synthesise available qualitative evidence across contexts to identify the common service-level barriers and facilitators of father engagement in child and family services. MethodsThe following six databases were systematically searched from database inception in February 2022: Medline, EMBASE, AMED, PsycINFO, CAB Abstracts, and Global Health. Studies were considered eligible if they described service-level factors impacting father engagement in healthcare services and interventions aimed at improving child and family well-being. The screening and selection processes were conducted by two independent reviewers to reduce the risk of bias. Selected studies were quality assessed using the CASP appraisal tool. Results from the included studies were synthesised thematically. ResultsTwenty-three eligible qualitative studies were included in the analysis. All studies were published between 2005 and 2022 Thematic synthesis identified seven main themes encompassing service-level barriers and facilitators to father engagement: practitioners; environment; marketing; resources; staff education; policy and practice guidelines; and evaluation. ConclusionsThe findings show that improving father engagement is dependent on a combination of individual practitioner competence, and service environment that provides the necessary structure, processes, and resources to enable effective work with fathers. Addressing the barriers and prioritizing facilitators therefore requires strengthening of both the organizational and practitioner capacity for father-inclusive practice.

Physiotherapists' training in oncology rehabilitation from entry-level to advanced education: A qualitative study.

Physiotherapy is gaining a central role in oncology. However, the training and competencies needed by physiotherapists in oncology rehabilitation are still unclear. This study aims to articulate the training trajectory of physiotherapists in oncology rehabilitation from entry-level education to advanced education degrees. Qualitative focus group study following a 'Reflexive Thematic Analysis' for data analysis. Participants were Italian physiotherapists with expertise in Oncology Rehabilitation (either clinically or academically) and Physiotherapy Bachelor of Science (BSc) course leaders, selected through purposive sampling. Two focus groups were conducted with 14 participants. Six themes were developed: 1. 'Entry-Level Education in Oncology Rehabilitation: Let's Have a Taste', as the BSc introduces oncology rehabilitation. 2. 'Basic Knowledge: Building up the Library' as students acquire basic knowledge on oncology rehabilitation during their BSc; 3. 'Learning by Experience: The Relevance of the Placement' to answer the question "Is this the right road for me?"; 4. 'Clinical Reasoning and Competencies in Oncology Rehabilitation Embedded in Uncertainty' because oncology physiotherapists need to deal with the uncertainty of their patients' status; 5. 'Advanced Education Degree Skills: from Appetiser to the Main Course', as advanced education degree courses allow for becoming an expert in the field; 6. 'A Call to Action for Physiotherapists: Prevention-Diagnosis-Survivorship & End of Life', to realise their critical role in all the phases of the oncology path. The BSc in Physiotherapy provides a foundation for future physiotherapists to understand oncology rehabilitation, but advanced education is necessary for expertise. The findings of this study have important implications for creating a shared physiotherapy curriculum in oncology rehabilitation. This study has significant implications for improving physiotherapy curricula in oncology rehabilitation, positively impacting the skills and competencies of practitioners in this paramount field.

A Scoping Review of Educator Proficiency Interventions in Pharmacy Education Illustrated by an Interdisciplinary Model Integrating Pedagogical Theories into Practice.

Pharmacy schools recognize the need for flexibility and comprehensive curricular transformation with a competency-based focus to effectively prepare for the evolving practitioner competencies and challenges of the pharmacy profession. The curricular implementation of evidence-based teaching and learning theories and practices demands educator proficiency through skills development with indispensable faculty leadership support. Our scoping review of online databases and pharmacy education-related journals aims to identify faculty development interventions or teaching proficiency programs that integrate educational and pedagogical theories. Original studies and reviews published between 2010 and 2022 were screened based on four inclusion criteria. Thirty-four manuscripts were eligible for full-text analysis, of which seven results referenced target faculty pedagogy knowledge development. Nine key messages, as Results Statements, synthesize and provide a framework for our results analysis. An ongoing Hungarian intervention model of comprehensive faculty development with strong interdisciplinary cooperation is discussed in our study to illustrate the applicability of the Results Statements through each stage of the process. Educator motivation and relatedness to students or awareness of the educator roles are intrinsic factors, which may not be easily detectable yet significantly impact teaching proficiency and student learning outcomes. The integration of evidence-based pedagogical knowledge and training in educator proficiency development contributes to the sustainability and cost-effectiveness of faculty interventions.
