American Association of Heart failure nurses’ knowledge, barriers and facilitators in conducting research

BackgroundTo provide high-quality patient care, heart failure (HF) nurses must comprehend/use best evidence; however, HF nurses’ ability to do so are unknown. ObjectivesTo describe HF nurses’ research interest/involvement, confidence, facilitators/motivators, and barriers to lead/collaborate in research studies. MethodsA descriptive design with convenience sampling and online data collection (Qualtrics) were used with American Association of HF Nurses members. Recruited/included nurses (n = 145) needed to be of any educational level and currently practicing in any practice setting in the United States. A 30-item, adapted instrument assessed research interest (one-question), involvement (two-questions), confidence (two-questions), facilitators (one-question), motivators (three-questions), and barriers (21-questions). ResultsSubjects (n = 145) were Caucasian (n = 124, 86.1 %) females (n = 137, 96.5 %) with an average age of 52.5 ± 10.38 years and 26.90±12.06 years of nursing experience. Nurses were interested in conducting nursing research (7.78/10±2.37) but involvement was low. Most frequently (n = 73, 50.3 %) nurses served as principal/co-investigators. Confidence with research participation was moderate (70.28/100±26.92) and in their ability to understand/apply research findings were low (21.68/100±80.07). The most frequently reported facilitator was the ability to control their own schedule/work (n = 30, 20.7 %) and the strongest motivator (n = 107, 73.8 %) was the perception presenting nursing research/EBP impacts HF care. The greatest reported barrier was the authority to seek research funding (2.39/5 ± 1.14). Nursing experience (p=.034), interest in participating in nursing research (p=.01), and how much presenting nursing research/EBP impacted one's performance review (p<.001) added to the prediction (R2=0.499, p<.001). ConclusionsThe gained knowledge may promote development of innovative programs and educational opportunities to increase HF nurses’ research activities.

Разработка и исследование подхода к обработке сигналов цифровых измерительных трансформаторов тока и напряжения

During the development of secondary systems of stations and substations, including relay protection, automation, control, electricity metering, etc., qualitative changes have recently occurred due to the introduction of digital technologies. The introduction of digital technologies is supported by innovative development programs such as “Digital Transformation 2030”. The introduction of digital technologies is associated with the use of digital data transmission channels according to uniform standards. Projects of “digital substations” are being actively implemented with the transmission of digital information at all levels, including the primary equipment, the transmission of information both from current and voltage measuring transformers, and from switching devices. Currently, digital instrument transformers are actively being developed and implemented, in which information about measured currents and voltages is presented in digital code. New approaches to measure primary currents and voltages, and transmit information pose new challenges, and open prospects for improving signal processing methods used for relay protection purposes. Thus, the relevant aim of the study is the development and research of approaches to digital processing of signals of digital instrument current and voltage transformers. To solve the problems posed within the framework of this study, analytical and numerical solution methods have been used. Numerical methods are applied using software products such as MathCAD and the Python programming language to generate signals and display them on graphs. To substantiate the reliability, verification of the results obtained by different methods is carried out. The authors have formulated an approach to digital processing of signals obtained using current sensors of a digital instrument transformer. The authors have studied the approach to determine synchronized current vector values by processing information received from primary current converters. The characteristics of the algorithm for obtaining a vector have been analyzed and the dependences of errors on the influence of distorting factors have been plotted. The proposed approach is a development of the existing approach to obtain a vector by getting information from current sensors operating on different physical principles. The results show the advantages of the proposed method. The proposed digital signal processing algorithm is more technically expensive since it contains at least two metrologically calibrated measuring channels instead of one. However, all other things being equal, it allows to increase the accuracy and speed of the digital processing algorithms taken as a prototype. The results obtained can be used to formulate algorithms for measuring relay protection devices.

Analysis of the Development and State Regulation of Pharmaceutical Companies in the Republic of Kazakhstan

Main problem: In Kazakhstan, the pharmaceutical market is one of the most developed in the CIS countries. To a certain extent, the shortage has been overcome and saturation with various types of finished medicines and medical products has been ensured. The service culture has increased. The main global trends in the development of pharmaceutical markets are observed – consolidation and development of vertically integrated companies. Changes are taking place in the distribution, manufacturing and retail sectors. The number of pharmacy chains is increasing. Modern marketing technologies are being introduced. Also, the pharmaceutical market of Kazakhstan among the Central Asian countries remains the most accessible and transparent for foreign manufacturers from the point of view of the legislative environment. However, the potential of the market is limited by the relatively small number and purchasing power of the population. The growth of the pharmaceutical industry will continue to be driven mainly by demand for generic drugs. Kazakhstan's integration into the EAEU will contribute to improving the quality of medicines and reducing their cost. The purpose of this article is to analyze the development and state regulation of pharmaceutical companies in the Republic of Kazakhstan, identify problems in the field of regulation of pharmaceutical companies in the Republic of Kazakhstan and ways to solve them.

ПОТЕНЦИАЛ ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКОГО РАЗВИТИЯ: СУЩНОСТЬ, ОСНОВНЫЕ СТРУКТУРНЫЕ ЭЛЕМЕНТЫ И ИХ ВЗАИМОСВЯЗЬ

This work is devoted to theoretical research aimed at revealing the mechanism for managing the processes of accelerated reproduction of the potential of an economic entity. The authors are of the opinion that for the rapid development of potential and, as a result, the successful implementation of innovative ideas, cooperation between project participants in the form of network interaction or the formation of an ecosystem (business system) is necessary. The work substantiates that the economic potential of a product can be represented as the result of the interaction of market (MPP) and resource-production (RPP) potentials and, first of all, their maximum values. At the same time, it is necessary to achieve a balance between increasing the maximum potential of MSP on the one hand and increasing the RPP on the other through innovation or extensive growth. Additionally, the study emphasizes that the processes of managing the development of the potential of an economic entity are significantly influenced by the innovative environment, which includes such elements as infrastructure and institutions. Based on the results of the study, the authors presented their own definition of the concept of “innovation environment” and clearly showed the relationship between the elements of the project’s innovative potential and the elements of the environment. From the presented relationship, further requirements for the program of innovative development of both the region and an individual industry follow.

Thyroid Hormone and Mitochondrial Dysfunction: Therapeutic Implications for Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD).

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly termed nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is a widespread global health concern that affects around 25% of the global population. Its influence is expanding, and it is anticipated to overtake alcohol as the leading cause of liver failure and liver-related death worldwide. Unfortunately, there are no approved therapies for MASLD; as such, national and international regulatory health agencies undertook strategies and action plans designed to expedite the development of drugs for treatment of MASLD. A sedentary lifestyle and an unhealthy diet intake are important risk factors. Western countries have a greater estimated prevalence of MASLD partly due to lifestyle habits. Mitochondrial dysfunction is strongly linked to the development of MASLD. Further, it has been speculated that mitophagy, a type of mitochondrial quality control, may be impaired in MASLD. Thyroid hormone (TH) coordinates signals from the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes to control mitochondrial biogenesis and function in hepatocytes. Mitochondria are known TH targets, and preclinical and clinical studies suggest that TH, thyroid receptor β (TR-β) analogs, and synthetic analogs specific to the liver could be of therapeutic benefit in treating MASLD. In this review, we highlight how mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to development of MASLD, and how understanding the role of TH in improving mitochondrial function paved the way for innovative drug development programs of TH-based therapies targeting MASLD.

Should Urine Drug Screen be Done Universally or Selectively in Palliative Care Patients on Opioids?

Urine drug screen (UDS) is a useful test conducted in patients receiving opioids for chronic pain to aid in validating patient adherence to opioid treatment and to detect any nonmedical opioid use (NMOU). One controversial topic regarding its use in palliative care is whether to conduct the test universally and randomly in all patients who are receiving opioids for chronic pain irrespective of their level of risk for NMOU, or to conduct the test selectively in only those with a high risk for engaging in NMOU behaviors. In this "Controversies in Palliative Care" article, 3 expert clinicians independently answer this question. Specifically, each expert provides a synopsis of the key studies that inform their thought processes, share practical advice on their clinical approach, and highlight the opportunities for future research. They all agreed that UDS has some utility in routine palliative care practice but acknowledged the insufficient existing evidence supporting its efficacy. They also underscored the need to improve clinician proficiency in UDS interpretation to enhance its utility. Two experts endorsed random UDS in all patients receiving opioids regardless of their risk profile while the other expert recommended targeted UDS until there is more clinical evidence to support universal, random testing. Use of more methodologically robust study designs in UDS research, examination of the cost-effectiveness of UDS tests, development of innovative programs to manage NMOU behaviors, and investigation of the impact of improved clinician proficiency in UDS interpretation on clinical outcomes, were important areas of future research that the experts identified.

THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON BATAM CITY GOVERNMENT REGIONAL REVENUE OF 2020

This research is motivated by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in a decline in both national and regional economic growth rates. It is suspected that this has had repercussions on the revenue of the City Government of Batam. The primary objectives of this study are to analyze the impact of COVID-19 on the city's revenue and to assess the policies implemented by the City Government of Batam to enhance revenue during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research employs a qualitative methodology, involving data collection through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings indicate a significant reduction in Batam City's Local Own Source Revenue (PAD) due to the adverse effects of COVID-19, particularly within the tourism sector, which serves as a primary source of regional income. In contrast, the intergovernmental transfer sector remained unaffected and even experienced an increase in revenue. Additionally, other revenue sources witnessed growth due to the stability of the trade and industry sectors during the pandemic. Overall, the impact of COVID-19 on Batam City's revenue in 2020 was not excessively detrimental, as the Regional Budget (APBD) continued to increase from 2019. The City Government of Batam implemented various policy measures, such as aligning development programs with the central government, promoting the region's potential to both the central government and investors, and enhancing the quality of public services. These actions facilitated the allocation of additional funds from the central government. Research recommendations encompass a focus on the development of innovative development programs, the recovery of the tourism sector, the diversification of income sources, and the enhancement of inter-governmental collaboration.

VILLAGE GOVERNMENTS’ CAPACITY CHALLENGES FACING HINDRANCES TO IMPLEMENTATION OF THE “RECOGNITION PRINCIPLE” IN KOLILANANG VILLAGE, EAST FLORES DISTRICT IN 2022

The principle of recognition not only corroborates and develops the unique tradition of running the village, but also reinvigorates the village to make innovations and rearrangements of its administration based on autochthonous autonomy and decentralization-based local government. This research aims to explore the capacity of village administration to implement the principle of recognition and to reveal impediments being faced, also to contribute to strengthening local capacity for solving community problems. The methods used in this research are qualitative and descriptive where data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations. The result shows that the village administration and the village consultative body both collectively and individually lack the capacity to implement the recognition principles. The inability to implement the recognition principle is caused by poor human resources of both the village administration personnel and the village consultative body. Consequently, there are no creative ideas set forth by the village administration or by the village consultative body as well as by the villagers as a whole to formulate innovative development programs or culture-based village regulations. Therefore, we need to implement capacity-building programs through training, technical assistance, socialization of regulations and well-scheduled sustainable apprenticeship in order for the village administration to design innovative development programs in accordance with the local needs and uniqueness of the village.

Совершенствование механизма управления развитием инноваций на промышленном предприятии

The research topic is relevant due to the fact that the innovative activity of economic entities has a significant impact on the development of the state, its economy, science, industry and society. In addition, having a high innovative potential, the organization ensures its independence, financial stability and well-being. The article considers the organization and analysis of innovation activity on the example of a specific enterprise. The system of evaluation of the implementation of the innovative development program is considered, its disadvantages are identified in the form of the lack of interrelations between the target criteria and the efficiency of the enterprise as a whole. Recommendations for improving the mechanism of innovation management in terms of assessing innovation activity are proposed. Changing the organizational structure with the allocation of a special unit to manage the implementation of the innovation program will allow coordinating the actions of employees and ensuring effective interaction to achieve a common goal. The updated system of indicators of innovation activity demonstrates the impact of the results of the implementation of innovative projects on various spheres of activity of the enterprise.

The role of transaction costs in ensuring a positive effect in the integration of enterprises

The article discusses the process of enterprise integration which will be successful and effective only if there is a reduction in costs in all areas of activity. Their large-scale part can take up transaction costs, which should be determined as ancillary expenses of production to provide the necessary information, as well as to conclude a contractual relationship. At the current stage of integrable structures development the attention of many researchers is paid to the problem of managing the transaction costs of an enterprise. But unfortunately, the issue of its reduction remains insufficiently highlighted in the scientific literature. Investigating the development and functioning of integrable structures, it is necessary to determine the role as well as the conditions for reducing transaction costs. The authors believe that the main condition for the decline is the coincidence of the spheres of activity of the merging enterprises and an effective management company that helps to realize the benefits of integration. Based on this interaction, a synergy effect will be observed. The following relationships can be observed within the integrated structures: competitive, material and non-material. These types have a significant impact on reducing transaction costs, based on which we can talk about competitive advantages and product differentiation. The Russian practice of integrable structures describes various forms of integration, but according to the authors, the effect can be achieved only if there are training management functions on the part of the corporate center. This function can be realized in coordinating the development and implementation of the strategy for the development of innovative programs. The overwhelming majority of management companies prefer comprehensive control over the activities of enterprises, which does not contribute to achieving synergy, reducing transaction costs and gaining competitive advantages.
