A single-center model for implementation of SLEDAI documentation adherence in childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE).

Childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) is an autoimmune disease with variable disease expression but noted association with significant disease-related damage, morbidity, and mortality. The European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) recommends routine monitoring of SLE through validated disease activity and chronicity indices, including the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI). Despite this, physician adherence with SLEDAI documentation remains elusive at various academic institutions. The aim of our study was to determine baseline SLEDAI documentation rates at our center and assess the change in adherence in SLEDAI documentation rate with electronic clinical decision support (CDS) reminders facilitated through the electronic medical record (EMR) over a 2-year period. All SLE encounters over a 24-month period at a pediatric academic center were reviewed in order to obtain baseline SLEDAI documentation percentages. Physicians subsequently received monthly email reminders, initiated at month 4 of project initiation, with subsequent CDS reminder 13months after project initiation prompted by anti-dsDNA lab result. Chart review was repeated continuously for each provider, and SLEDAI documentation rates were emailed to each provider monthly. Physicians completed a post-intervention survey regarding barriers to SLEDAI documentation at the end of the study. A total of 1980 SLE encounters were reviewed for this study. Baseline SLEDAI documentation rates were 10%. Following the introduction of monthly emails reminding physicians to document SLEDAI, rates increased to 55%. After the initiation of electronic in-basket reminders prompted by lab results, rates increased to 60%. Noted barriers to documentation were cited to be forgetfulness (67%) and lack of time (33%). Our study demonstrates that monthly email reminders as well as EMR-mediated electronic in-basket reminders increased SLEDAI documentation rates at an academic center. Noted barriers to documentation were reported to be forgetfulness (67%) and lack of time (33%).

Digital Silk Road; Is it an Anti-Globalization Backlash? Is it Chinese-Style Globalization?

Digital activities of the Belt and Road initiative called the "digital Silk Road" in the post-COVID-19 outbreak era and initially introduced in 2015 as the "information Silk Road," have come under fire. Finding out whether China's technical improvement, which has become evident in many areas thanks to the Digital Belt and Road initiative project, is a backlash against globalization or a new wave of it done in a Chinese form is the main challenge of this study. Data centers—the backbone of the Belt and Road Initiative—undersea fiber optic cables, 5-G cellular data networks, and Turkish investments in these sectors have all been essential in this regard. This method explores China's technological development from the four modernization periods to the present through a chronological descriptive description. This study should be viewed as significantly contributing to the literature because it provides a system-level examination of the digital Belt and Road endeavor.

Modeling the Transformation of Configuration Management Processes in a Multi-Project Environment

Human resource management during project implementation in a multi-project environment requires addressing the resource-constrained project scheduling problem. Agile methodologies allow for greater management flexibility, necessitating an agile transformation of human resource management processes. Changes occurring in human resource management lead to modifications in the initial project team and alterations in the state of the resource pool in a multi-project environment. To ensure controllable changes in the project team and address the task of allocating (reallocating) limited resources among project tasks in a multi-project environment with subsequent optimization based on a selected criterion, it is proposed to use configuration management of human resources. Depending on the chosen level of detail, project specifics, and the implementation environment, configuration elements can be an executor, project team, or intact team. Types of equivalence applied to the set of configuration elements have been classified. A model of the configuration management process for human resources has been considered. Using the proposed model will allow for formalizing the process of implementing human resource configuration management in a multi-project environment. Constructive enumeration of configuration elements in a multi-project environment has been examined. Identifying a typical representative of the configuration and considering the given equivalence, followed by selecting a resource allocation/reallocation option that meets the specified constraints, enhances team adaptability. An example of configuration management in addressing team composition management tasks has been discussed. The proposed approach can be applied in managing human resources for agile transformation projects of critical infrastructure, particularly in the healthcare sector, during the establishment of hospital clusters and supercluster medical institutions. This is because implementing such projects necessitates continuous monitoring of changes and requirements for resource provisioning.

Ценности образования в представлениях студентов-выпускников ИТ-специальностей (результаты пилотажного исследования)

The study of educational values in the self-assessments of IT graduates is part of the initiative project aimed at studying the peculiarities of the socio-professional group of Russian IT specialists. The relevance of the topic is determined by the importance of positive perception and evaluation of the role of education by IT students as a condition for their successful study, and subsequently – professional adaptation and socialization of IT gradu-ates. Positive assessment of the role of education contributes to the formation of high self-motivation of stu-dents' learning both within the university and their successful inclusion in the IT sphere after graduation. Five groups of educational values, which are perceived by students as the most important, are identified and char-acterized: the development of cognitive skills; social and personal changes; expectations of changes in status-role positions; the formation of new values and the transformation of the old ones. The results of the pilot study are of great importance for the further development of the problem, as well as expedient for organizing educa-tional work, diagnosing the values of students of IT specialties.

Board diversity and intellectual capital disclosure of Chinese-listed firms with Belt and Road Initiative projects

PurposeChinese-listed firms with Belt and Road Initiatives (BRI) play a crucial role in advancing the outward investment policy of China. Board diversity can be vital, and intellectual capital disclosure (ICD) showing future earnings can build investor confidence in these firms. This study examines these two relationships in Chinese-listed firms with BRI projects during a predictable business outlook period (2019, pre-Covid period) and unpredictable business outlook period (2020, Covid period).Design/methodology/approachThe study used least squares regression that analysed the target population comprising 79 listed Chinese firms with BRI projects in 2019 and 2020. The China Stock Market and Accounting Research (CSMAR) database provided board diversity data. Analysing annual reports using content analysis provided the ICD data, collected by following an established intellectual capital (IC) coding framework in the literature. After collecting board-related data, the study calculated the diversity between boards in firms (diversity of boards – DOB) using cluster analysis. The study estimated the diversity within each board (diversity in boards – DIB) using Blau's Index.FindingsThe findings indicate that in the predictable business outlook environment, DOB positively associates with ICD, and DIB negatively associates with ICD. In the unpredictable business outlook environment, the DIB and DOB interaction negatively associates with ICD, and DOB positively associates with ICD.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings apply to Chinese-listed firms with BRI projects and further research is required to generalise findings beyond them. This study used annual reports to collect ICD, but a future study could examine BRI firms' social media and website disclosures. The attributes selected for board diversity dimensions can contribute to bounded findings, and future studies could expand the board diversity attributes included.Practical implicationsThe findings provide insights into firms' board composition and structure associated with ICD.Originality/valueThis is one of the first studies providing empirical evidence about board diversity and ICD of Chinese-listed firms with BRI projects.

Dreaming of profit: case of Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited

Learning outcomes The learning outcomes of this study are to examine the financial performance of Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (BMRCL) during past five years, to compare the financial performance with the initial projections, to identify the causes of deviations in the performance, to recommend the measures to improve financial performance and to apply the learning from the BMRCL project to other similar upcoming projects in India. Case overview/synopsis BMRCL has been struggling to perform as per projections made in the initial detailed project report. The situation has further worsened because of the COVID-19 pandemic and its post-impact on the overall economic level of activity. Ramana Rao, the consultant for infrastructure projects, was worried after reading a news article which deemed the project a white elephant. Various articles published in the newspaper also reported that BMRCL was incurring a loss of Rs 45 lakhs every day. The consultant worried about the sustainability of the project. He wanted new ideas and plans which could turn around these losses and convert them into profitable ones. He, however, does not have any immediate plans to execute and is therefore in a dilemma about how a project that was launched with so much fanfare could be made profitable. Because of COVID-19 pandemic, BMRCL’s financial situation, which although improving, had taken a significant hit. It looked like the corporation might need government assistance to cover its losses. The transport utility suffered a loss of Rs 170 crore, as a result of a decline in ridership as well as other revenue sources including parking fees and leasing revenues. This amounted to a daily loss of Rs 1 crore. The pressure on revenues was putting the officials in a tight spot about meeting the company’s debt obligations and market borrowings. Complexity academic level The case study aims to enable participants to understand financial performance and viability of large-scale projects such as metro rail in India.

Strategic Initiatives for Large Transport Infrastructure Planning: Reinforcing Sustainability in Urban Transportation through Better Stakeholder Engagement

An efficacious stakeholder engagement process is instrumental in achieving success in large transport infrastructure projects. This is due to the integral role of public stakeholders’ participation in the decision-making process. The purpose of this study is to explore the key components that are essential for an effective public stakeholder engagement process in large transport infrastructure projects. The paper entails an in-depth analysis of stakeholder management processes, large transport infrastructure complexities, and stakeholder engagement as a holistic framework. A mixed-methods approach is adopted, together with a comparative case study design utilizing various data from large transport infrastructure projects. The findings demonstrate that the engagement framework and objectives are the key components of large transport infrastructure planning. Moreover, such components are dependent upon the characteristics of public stakeholders and the project scope. These findings can assist transport planners in devising effective techniques for stakeholder engagement during the initiation of such projects.

Employee Involvement in Sustainability Projects in Emergent Markets: Evidence from Turkey

Without a doubt, encouraging the behavior of employees in relation to sustainability is one of the most effective tactics that organizations can use to attain their sustainability goals. It is critical that employees take part in sustainability projects in order for organizations to be successful. In this study, we assumed that organizations supported by responsible employees will be more likely to engage in sustainability-driven projects that affect their long-term viability and the interests of their stakeholders, and that green human resources management will be an encouraging factor. The purpose of this study was to investigate the involvement of employees in sustainability-driven projects within organizations, as well as the potential influence of such involvement on the performance of projects in emerging economies such as Turkey, where individual sensitivity to sustainability is lacking. With this goal in mind, we conducted a qualitative investigation on ten different employees from various corporate enterprises who were authorized to participate in sustainability-driven projects in their workplaces. Our results revealed that in the Turkish business environment, employees have still not reached the required level of maturity regarding sustainability issues in order to be initiators of sustainability projects. This study is the first to investigate the role of employees in sustainability-driven projects within the Turkish market.

O.3.3-1 “Friuli Venezia Giulia in Movimento, 10000 passi di salute” as an example of a multilevel-multifaceted project promoting citizens’ physical activity and healthy habits

Abstract The project “Friuli Venezia Giulia in Movimento, 10000 passi di salute” (Friuli Venezia Giulia (FVG) Region on the move, 10000 healthy steps), started in 2019 and is carried out by Federsanità ANCI FVG with financial support of the FVG Region. The project’s main objective is that of encouraging physical activity and healthy habits, in an accessible way for all citizens (with a focus on the elderly) by financing the promotion of pedestrian paths located in the municipalities that have decided to pursue the initiative. The innovative aspect of the project is its multilevel-multifaceted characteristic. The project can be said to be multilevel because it involves subjects and/or institutions at different levels (region, municipalities, citizens’ associations, citizens) and multifaceted as it regards health as well as socialization, tourism, environment, and community networks. In the early phases of the project, a participatory methodology is applied, which involves different actors through the understanding of the various needs and suggestions. A call for proposals, devoted to all the Municipalities is then open and all the applications are evaluated to detect which are accepted for funding. All the pedestrian paths funded have signals and posters with the same layout, creating a “brand” of the project. Special events are organized to open the paths, targeting all the community members, with the participation of the project’s organizing committee. News about the project and related initiatives are disseminated by social and traditional media; a dedicated website, an information line and promotional materials are created. To evaluate the project different tools are used: questionnaires, interviews, secondary data and survey sheets. The project can be summarized with three terms: participatory, inclusive and sustainable. Due to the successful participation in the project, two spin-offs are born: walking leader courses and soft gymnastic activities for the elderly. Moreover, it has been included in a European project and has aroused the interest of other Italian regions keen on applying it to their territories. To date about 1/3 of the municipalities are involved with a potential impact on 43% of the population and 59 paths have been completed for a total of 330 km.

The role of social initiatives in developing front-line employees’ capabilities in the service industry: the case of a delivery company.

The response of businesses to address social issues has gone beyond the scope of traditional corporate social responsibility activities. They now include a more strategic focus on initiatives that incorporate the core business operations of the firms into solving social issues. This is perhaps coupled with heeding to Porter and Kramer's 2011 call for firms to focus on "creating a shared value." Subsequently, this new approach has attracted researchers to investigate what impacts this approach has on companies and their employees. Empirical studies have linked a firm’s social initiative involvement to employee-level impacts such as motivation, retention, and identity, but its relation to employee capabilities, including skills and knowledge, has not been sufficiently investigated. Ultimately, employees’ overall performance depends largely on their capabilities. Through the lens of knowledge creation theory, this study investigates the relationship between a firm's concerted involvement in social initiatives and its employee capabilities at a Japanese package delivery company by examining the case of Yamato Transport Company's delivery drivers in rural Japan. The case study was conducted at Otoyo Town in Kochi Prefecture, where a social initiative project to provide shopping support and watch-over service for elderly people has been ongoing since 2012. Data was collected primarily through project site visits, and interviews with project stakeholders, who included Yamato branch managers, delivery drivers, and local authorities involved in the initiative. Information available in the company’s newsletters, annual reports, and other publicly available sources was also analyzed. Results found that social initiatives can serve as a knowledge-creation context for frontline employees as they create the opportunity for employees to socialize with customers and project partners in a collaborative manner. This rare opportunity helps employees improve on-the-job skills and other tacit capabilities such as empathy, reliability, and communication. Finally, frameworks showing the relationship, impact, and performance of social initiative involvement for a firm and its employees are presented.
 

Community health workers to reduce unmet surgical needs in an urban slum in India: an implementation study.

The Surgical Accredited & Trained Healthcare Initiative (SATHI) project demonstrates how community healthcare workers (CHWs) with merely 8 y of formal schooling and training for a short period can reduce unmet surgical needs. A pilot study was carried out in the slums of a metropolitan city in India to know the effectiveness of a SATHI in reducing the burden of unmet surgical needs. In total, 12 730 people from 3000 households were included in the study for a duration of 6months. We found 10% surgical needs (n=293) out of which 57% had unmet surgical needs. Out of total surgical needs, about half of the needs were cataract and abdominal, followed by extremities and chest conditions. SATHIs were able to convert 99 patients (60%) from unmet to met needs, who underwent surgery/treatment. The conversion from unmet to met among all surgery needs was highest for abdominal conditions (29%) followed by cataracts (17%). SATHIs with short training can reduce the burden of unmet surgical needs. SATHIs were able to convert a significant proportion of unmet to met needs by trust building, facilitating access to healthcare and ensuring post-operative adherence. Scaling up could help in the achievement of equitable healthcare across India.

In favor or against: The influence of skeptical stakeholders in urban innovation projects for green transformation

Skeptical stakeholder involvement – collaborating with stakeholders who may harbor negative attitudes - is a complex, uncertain process that poses substantial challenges for innovation project management. Developing complex innovations like those in urban spaces requires engagement with knowledge, behavioral shifts, and resources from both public and private stakeholders. As a result, these stakeholders might oppose the project's objectives, thereby exerting a significant influence on the project. However, scant attention has been directed toward investigating the role of skeptical stakeholder involvement. The goal of this research is to address this research gap by examining the underexplored impact of skeptical stakeholder involvement on the project front end, thereby underscoring the importance of innovativeness and implementation intention as outcomes during these initial project stages. The study draws on a unique combination of text mining, text analysis, and survey data derived from 107 publicly funded urban innovation projects in Germany. These projects encompass diverse innovation types and technologies that may affect nearly all stakeholders within a given city district, thus making the context an ideal empirical terrain for investigation. The study's findings reveal that (i) skeptical stakeholder involvement positively influences innovativeness and implementation intention, and (ii) a robust reservoir of project management resources, coupled with moderate levels of formal management, facilitates the integration of skeptical stakeholders. The study advances current literature on project stakeholder management and project front-end dynamics by highlighting the positive influences of skeptical stakeholder involvement. Consequently, these outcomes contribute to the broader literature on sustainable urban transformation and enhance our understanding of stakeholder management mechanisms in the realm of urban innovation projects.

Design and Implementation of the Diabetes Impact Project: A Multisector Partnership to Reduce Diabetes Burden in Indianapolis Communities.

Community-level health disparities have not arisen suddenly but are the result of long-term systemic inequities. This article describes the design and implementation of a community-engaged multisector partnership to address health disparities by reducing the diabetes burden in 3 Indianapolis communities through the implementation of evidence-based strategies across the prevention continuum. The project has 5 foundational design principles: engage partners from multiple sectors to address community health, focus on geographic communities most affected by the health disparity, practice authentic community engagement, commit for the long term, and utilize a holistic approach spanning the prevention continuum. The design principles are incorporated into the following project components in each community: (1) health system community health workers (hCHWs), (2) neighborhood CHWs (nCHWs), (3) community health promotion initiatives, and (4) resident steering committees, as well as a backbone organization responsible for overall coordination, project communication, evaluation, and partnership coordination. This complex multilevel intervention is being evaluated using data sources and methodologies suited to each project component and its purpose overall. Each component is being evaluated independently and included holistically to measure the impact of the project on the health and culture of health in the communities. Key Performance Indicators were established upon project initiation as our common metrics for the partnership. Because complex interventions aiming at population-level change take time, we evaluate Diabetes Impact Project-Indianapolis Neighborhoods (DIP-IN), assuming its impact will take many years to achieve. Health disparities such as the diabetes prevalence in project communities have not arisen suddenly but are the result of long-term systemic inequities. This complex issue requires a complex holistic solution with long-term commitment, trusted partnerships, and investment from diverse sectors as seen in this project. Implications for policy and practice include the need to identify stable funding mechanisms to support these types of holistic approaches.

Strengthening Sustainability in Entrepreneurship Education -Implications for Shifting Entrepreneurial Thinking Towards Sustainability at Universities

Abstract By developing innovative solutions to social and environmental problems, sustainable ventures carry great potential. Entrepreneurship which focuses especially on new venture creation can be developed through education and universities, in particular, are called upon to provide an impetus for social change. But social innovations are associated with certain hurdles, which are related to the multi-dimensionality, i.e. the tension between creating social, environmental and economic value and dealing with a multiplicity of stakeholders. The already complex field of entrepreneurship education has to face these challenges. This paper, therefore, aims to identify starting points for the integration of sustainability into entrepreneurship education. To pursue this goal experiences from three different project initiatives between the partner universities: Lapland University of Applied Sciences, FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences and Turiba University are reflected and findings are systematically condensed into recommendations for education on sustainable entrepreneurship.

Advancing the one health approach through integration of Ayush systems: Opportunities and way forward.

The Ayush systems in India, specifically Ayurveda, have a large pool of infrastructure, human resources, and unique modalities for disease prevention, wellness, and management. These systems have seen significant growth in recent years, with the budget allocation for the Ayush Ministry increasing fourfold from INR 691 crore to INR 3050 crore over the last seven years. The Ayush systems can contribute significantly to the One Health approach, which addresses the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. The current commentary explores the areas of work related to the One Health approach, the potential role of the Ayush system in addressing these existing policies that support the integration of Ayush in the One Health approach, and future perspectives on the role of Ayush in One Health. Ayush systems advocate preventive measures, such as daily and seasonal regimens and the use of rejuvenating herbs and drugs, as well as therapeutic interventions for a range of health issues. Ayurveda also addresses environmental, animal, and plant health issues and promotes the creation of a healthy ecosystem between humans, animals, and the environment. In addition, Ayush can play a role in addressing zoonotic diseases, noncommunicable diseases, antimicrobial resistance, food safety and health of the elderly, children, and environment. To fully utilize the potential of Ayush in the One Health approach, these systems should be integrated into the healthcare infrastructure and network. Furthermore, initiation of collaborative projects, focused research, training and sensitization of Ayush human resources, and promotion of Ayush-based lifestyles and practices are some of the critical steps required to be taken.

An approach to forecasting promising areas of development of the robotics industry based on statistical reports of the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) in conditions of economic uncertainty

A simple method of forming a forecast rating of the most promising directions of robotics development at the mo-ment is proposed, depending on the current market situation affected by unstable economic factors. The ad-vantage of the considered methodology is that, firstly, a relevant-processed array of data regularly published in the annual statistical collections of IFR - World Robotics is used as the basis of the analysis, secondly, the availability of varying preferences of factors affecting the economic situation, and, thirdly– simplicity. The results obtained can be used by interested organizations both for the development of conceptual documents on the development of robot-ics, and for the development of proposals for the initiation of commercial projects.

How Chinese Capital Exacerbates Structural Violence: Externalization, Extraction, and Reaffirmation against Ethnic Minorities in the Global South

Abstract: How does Chinese capital exacerbate structural violence against ethnic minorities in host countries? While a growing number of works examine the effects of Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and non-BRI Chinese projects, these works focus on economic effects, political impacts, or negative socioenvironmental ramifications on communities. However, there has yet to be work on the specific relationship between Chinese capital and ethnic relations in the host country. In the form of major BRI and non-BRI projects, we suggest that Chinese capital acts as an external stimulus that gives ethnic coalitions, which often comprise host country elites who represent the majority ethnic groups, the power to design and finance large-scale ventures. We argue that three mechanisms, particularly externalization, extraction, and reaffirmation, exacerbate structural violence against ethnic minorities. Through field research, analysis of government documents, and literature review, the cases of the Philippines, Pakistan, and Myanmar illustrate our argument. The shadow case of Xinjiang strengthens our argument as well.

Characterizing human health damage from ionizing radiation in life cycle assessment

PurposeAlthough a wide number of industrial processes routinely release radionuclides into the environment, the resulting potential impacts on human health have been largely overlooked in life cycle assessment (LCA). As part of the Life Cycle Initiative project on Global Guidance for Life Cycle Impact Assessment Indicators and Methods (GLAM), we aim to develop a consensus-based source-to-damage framework and factors for characterizing human health damage from ionizing radiation in LCA.MethodsOur framework comprises four modules. The fate and exposure modules are based on UCrad, an earlier developed compartment-based environmental model for radionuclides. The focus of the present work is on the dose response and severity modules, which are based on most recent data from the International Committee on Radiological Protection and the Global Burden of Disease project series. The characterization factors are expressed in terms of DALY per kBq released.Results and discussionsWe obtain characterization factors for 115 radionuclides and 8 environmental compartments. To evaluate our approach, we compare both effect factors (combining dose response and severity) and characterization factors with those proposed in earlier studies. Our analysis demonstrates that differences are explicable by the different approaches used in the fate and exposure modelling. We also test the sensitivity of our factors to different approaches for filling data gaps, suggesting that our factors are robust. Finally, we apply our factors in an illustrative case study on rice production and consumption under various scenarios to identify dominant radionuclides and how these differ when other approaches are used.ConclusionsOur framework is aligned with widely adopted methodologies for human health impact assessment, thus enabling robust comparisons, and covers nearly all radionuclides released by anthropogenic activities, including those that may arise from disposal of nuclear waste. Our factors are readily applicable for assessing radionuclide emissions in LCA. As next step we recommend (i) incorporating decay products into the fate model and (ii) integrating a model for indoor emissions of radon and indoor exposure to naturally occurring radionuclides (NORM).

Стратегии профессиональной мобильности в представлениях студентов-выпускников ИТ-специальностей (пилотажное исследование)

This pilot study is part of an initiative project dedicated to studying the professional mobility of Russian IT specialists. The relevance of the project is due to the problems of forming an adequate understanding of IT graduates’ professional mobility strategies, since such representations guide professional development from the very beginning of a career. An objective view of these strategies contributes to the successful adaptation and socialization of novice IT professionals in the information technology field. The scientific substantiation of methodological and methodical approaches to the study of IT graduates’ perceptions of professional mobility strategies, considered in the totality of objective (socio-structural, activity) and subjective (personal-motivational) factors. At the empirical level, methods for studying ideas about mobility strategies have been developed and tested. The conclusions about the peculiarities of graduate students’ perceptions of IT specialists’ professional mobility strategies are concretized.
