Examining the effect of family-based intervention programs used in psychosis on the disease: a systematic review

IntroductionPsychosis is a complex mental health condition that can have a significant impact on individuals and their families. Family-based intervention programs have been developed to provide support and education to both individuals with psychosis and their families. These programs aim to improve clinical and family outcomes, reduce relapse rates, and enhance the overall well-being of individuals and their families . This study examined the effect of family-based intervention programs used in psychosis on the disease by synthesizing evidence from a systematic review of relevant studies.Family interventions have shown promising results in improving clinical and family outcomes in long-standing psychosis (Sadath et al., 2015). These interventions focus on improving relationships through problem-solving and enhancing the understanding of the illness and its treatment (Kuipers et al., 2010).ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of intervention programs implemented for the families of individuals diagnosed with psychosis on the course of the disease.MethodsThe study was conducted between August and September 2023 in 3 databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, Science Direct) using the keywords “psychosis”, “family interventions”, “family in psychosis”. These databases were preferred because they contain a significant amount of evidence-based literature in the field of biomedical sciences and psychology. Studies conducted between 2013 and 2023, whose full texts were accessed and written in Turkish and English were included in the study.ResultsAs of September 2023, 16 national and international research articles on the subject have been reached and the literature review continues. When the literature review is finalized, all study results will be presented together.ConclusionsThis review provides an overview of the effects of intervention programs implemented for the families of individuals diagnosed with psychosis on the course of the disease and solution suggestions. Family-based intervention programs have shown promise in improving clinical and family outcomes in psychosis. These programs focus on enhancing relationships, providing education, and reducing relapse rates. However, the implementation of family interventions in routine clinical services can be challenging due to various barriers. Peer support programs have emerged as a valuable addition to family interventions, providing a supportive environment for families to share their experiences and support one another. Future research should focus on addressing barriers to implementation and further exploring the benefits of peer-driven family support services in early intervention programs for psychosis.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

Necessity of Big Data Security and its Relation to National Security

Many government organizations like the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Department of Passport, Public Service Commission, Department of Transport Management, Election Commission of Nepal, hospitals, etc. are increasingly relying on data-centric services as the stored data helps to deliver the services effectively and efficiently.

The study contributes to the broader discourse on protecting data and its relation to national security.

Public Transportation Strategy in Response to Covid-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on public transportation worldwide. At the beginning of the pandemic, public transportation systems reduced their performance by 80-90% in major cities in China, Iran, and the United States, and by 70% in the UK, including a significant decline in Indonesia. Several studies have shown that public transportation contributes significantly to the spread of the COVID-19 virus. This study aims to review the use of public transportation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: A systematic review using the PRISMA guidelines was conducted on literature published between 2020-2023 with inclusion criteria of national and international research articles in English related to the title "Public Transportation Strategy in Response to COVID-19". The database sources used were Scopus, Google Scholar, and PubMed. Results: Based on the literature review, it is concluded that efforts to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission in public transportation include providing personal protective equipment (PPE) for all public transportation crew, implementing strict physical distancing policies among passengers inside the vehicle, ensuring good ventilation, and enforcing the use of masks and hand hygiene. Another solution is to provide non-cash payment options to reduce physical contact between passengers and transportation personnel. The government and public transportation operators should consistently prepare supporting facilities and educate users about physical distancing, using masks, and hand hygiene through posters, social media, and regular announcements in public transportation areas. Implementing strategies in public transportation in response to COVID-19 requires collaboration between the government, transportation operators, and the public.

The Effect of Electronic Medical Records on Service Quality and Patient Satisfaction: A Literature Review

Background: Electronic medical records (EMR) are important to implement because they reduce doctors' workload, costs and errors. With Electronic Medical Records, Doctors and health workers also benefit from easy access to patient information which ultimately helps improve patient safety and clinical decision-making such as diagnoses, allergic reactions, and drug duplication. Electronic Medical Record (EMR) benefits patients because of efficiency in the health care process. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to review the literature on the implementation of EMR on service quality and patient satisfaction. Methods: A systematic review with Prisma on literature published between 2020 – 2023 with the inclusion criteria of national and international research articles in English and published in 2020-2023 relating to the title of the effect of Electronic Medical Records on Service Quality and patient satisfaction and the database source used, namely Scopus, Science Direct and PubMed. Results: Based on a comparison of hospitals that have implemented EMR vs. Paper Medical Records (PMR), it was found that implementing EMR would improve service quality more optimally than PMR. EMR enables healthcare providers to access and update patient information in real-time, quickly and accurately, increasing patient comfort and helping reduce waiting times by increasing healthcare efficiency.

Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Resilience: Implementation of Emergency Use Authorization in Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices During the Covid-19 Pandemic: a Literature Review

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an urgent need for pharmaceuticals and medical devices used for testing, treatment, and prevention. The policy of issuing an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for COVID-19 handling products is carried out to fulfill these needs. This study aims to describe and analyze how the EUA mechanism can be used as resilience during the pandemic. The study used Pubmed and ScienceDirect databases to search all articles using inclusion and exclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria were articles in English and Indonesian, national and international research articles covering the application of the EUA, searches limited to the last 3 years, and articles not limited to one study design. The exclusion criteria were articles not available in full text and topics unrelated to EUA in pharmaceuticals and medical devices. A total of 1,009 articles were identified using the keywords “Emergency Use Authorization”, “drug or medical device”, “COVID-19”. Finally, 11 articles that met the criteria were analyzed. The EUA approval for pharmaceuticals and medical devices is a form of resilience in the face of a pandemic and is an effective way to meet increasing needs while looking at clinical evidence and evidence of use in the field. The ability and experience in implementing the EUA can be a guide for learning in dealing with pandemics in the future.

Use of Flumazenil in Detoxification of High-Dose Benzodiazepine Users: A Mini Review of Pharmacological Basis and Clinical Studies

Introduction: The use of benzodiazepines (BDZ) is notoriously associated with significant long-term problems and it is estimated that the long-term users (LTU) in Italy are over 3 million people, including many elderly people. Unfortunately, 40 to 80% of the LTUs develop dependence and many also have tolerance, with the need for a progressive increase in the daily dosage up to the point of tolerating daily megadoses. In recent years, the off-label use of continuous infusion subcutaneous flumazenil has established itself as a viable approach for rapid hospital detoxification of these sometimes very complex clinical cases. The purpose of the article is, starting from the pharmacological and biochemical bases, to describe the mechanism of action, the areas of applicability and the possible criticalities by analyzing the Italian data. Materials and Methods: A computerized research was carried out for the articles to be inserted through use of international databases PUBMED and RESEARCHGATE by typing in keywords such as “flumazenil, high dose benzodiazepine users, use of flumazenil for benzo detoxification” and related articles. We also used the PUBCHEM database to describe some chemical and pharmacological characteristics of flumazenil. Both Italian and international research articles have been selected, starting from 1980 to today. Discussion and Conclusions: The use of flumazenil in slow infusion remains off-label but, for almost 20 years, it has been in use (in Italy and beyond) to detoxify, in about a week of hospitalization, patients with equivalent daily doses of diazepam greater than 50 mg / day for more than 6 months (with a description of cases up to 350 mg / day of diazepam-equivalent). This would allow the GABA-Argic receptor resensitization in a short time and with minimal or absent withdrawal symptoms, being able to suspend megadoses of BDZ in a very short time. In Italy this approach is still used to a limited extent and it cannot be said that it is absolutely the best method but the analysis of various endpoints in published studies, such as acute withdrawal discomfort, discharge without prescription of benzodiazepines and relapses in the first 6-12 months of discharge, certainly makes us reflect on the possibility of extending this approach to various territorial hospitals.

Comparative Study on International Research Hotspots and National-Level Policy Keywords of Dynamic Disaster Monitoring and Early Warning in China (2000-2021).

For more than 20 years, disaster dynamic monitoring and early warning have achieved orderly and sustainable development in China, forming a systematic academic research system and top-down policy design, which are inseparable from the research of China's scientific community and the promotion of government departments. In the past, most of the research on dynamic disaster monitoring and early warning focused on specific research in a certain field, scene, and discipline, while a few studies focused on research review or policy analysis, and few studies combined macro and meso research reviews in academia with national policy analysis for comparative analysis. It is necessary and urgent to explore the interaction between scholars' research and policy deployment, which can bring theoretical contributions and policy references to the top-down design, implementation promotion, and academic research of China's dynamic disaster monitoring and early warning. Based on 608 international research articles on dynamic disaster monitoring and early warning published by Chinese scholars from 2000-2021 and 187 national policy documents published during this period, this paper conducts a comparative analysis between the knowledge maps of international research hotspots and the co-occurrence maps of policy keywords on dynamic disaster monitoring and early warning. The research shows that in the stage of initial development (2000-2007), international research articles are few and focused, and research hotspots are somewhat alienated from policy keywords. In the stage of rising development (2008-2015), after the Wenchuan earthquake, research hotspots are closely related to policy keywords, mainly in the fields of geology, engineering disasters, meteorological disasters, natural disasters, etc. Meanwhile, research hotspots also focus on cutting-edge technologies and theories, while national-level policy keywords focus more on overall governance and macro promotion, but the two are gradually closely integrated. In the stage of rapid development (2016-2021), with the continuous attention and policy promotion of the national government, the establishment of the Ministry of Emergency Management, and the gradual establishment and improvement of the disaster early warning and monitoring system, research hotspots and policy keywords are integrated and overlapped with each other, realizing the organic linkage and mutual promotion between academic research and political deployment. The motivation, innovation, integration, and transformation of dynamic disaster monitoring and early warning are promoted by both policy and academic research. The institutions that issue policies at the national level include the State Council and relevant departments, the Ministry of Emergency Management, the Ministry of Water Resources, and other national ministries and commissions. The leading affiliated institutions of scholars' international research include China University of Mining and Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan University, Shandong University of Science and Technology, and other institutions. The disciplines involved are mainly multidisciplinary geosciences, environmental sciences, electrical and electronic engineering, remote sensing, etc. It is worth noting that in the past two to three years, research and policies focusing on COVID-19, public health, epidemic prevention, environmental governance, and emergency management have gradually increased.

Effectiveness of an interactive method in teaching investment literacy: Factors determining the return of beginning investors’ portfolios

Introduction. The article examines how certain factors influence the efficiency of forming virtual portfolio of financial assets. The purpose of the article is to identify the factors that contribute to the investment return of beginning investors. Materials and Methods. The methodological basis of the study includes Russian and international research articles devoted to enhancing financial and investment literacy on the national level, the role of financial education in successful investments, and the factors of return estimations for various groups of investors, including young people and beginners. The research was carried out at Novosibirsk State University (the Faculty of Economics). Portfolios produced by 396 students majoring in Economics, Management, and IT Business, who completed the ‘Financial Markets and Financial Institutions’ module were analyzed. The portfolios were completed in 2020, 2021, and 2022. The dependent variable in the econometric model was an investment portfolio return. The main factors considered for this research included students' academic performance, academic year, degree programme, age, gender, and financial asset structure of each portfolio. Results. The review of the scholarly literature allowed to identify the following potential return factors: investment literacy, educational background, personal behaviour characteristics, gender, financial market shocks, and economic crises. It was found that portfolio return is determined by the following factors: economic instability influencing financial markets, students’ academic performance in finance disciplines which is closely connected to their investment literacy and personality features revealed in the portfolio structure. However, age, degree programme and gender did not show any significant influence on the project outcome. Conclusions. Identifying the factors of students’ investment portfolio return enabled the authors to determine further development of the financial course with the interactive method in teaching investing literacy. Taking into consideration economic instability factor significance, it is necessary to discuss financial assets characteristics and dynamics during economic crises. In general, investment literacy increase influences the result positively.

Analyzing the literature on education governance over the last 71 years

PurposeThis article results from a survey on national and international research articles published from 1947 to 2018 that aimed to produce a theoretical framework and description of education governance.Design/methodology/approachThe study was based on bibliographic research techniques. Its bibliometric analysis (Pritchett, 2001) focused on three structural indicators: 1) keywords, 2) most relevant journals and 3) most productive researchers.

키워드 네트워크 분석을 통한 국내외 미얀마 연구 동향 비교 분석

To capture the recent Myanmar research trends, this study analyzed 605 domestic journal articles (indexed in Korean Citation Index) and 31,671 international journal articles (published in Springer) by taking the keyword network analysis method. Myanmar research has been actively carried out since early 2010 both domestically and internationally, showing a rapid increase from 2016 when the democratic government was established by Aung San Suu Kyi. Keyword analysis indicated that domestic journal articles put priority on Myanmar's internal issues, such as political conditions, economy, social culture, and international relations. On the other hand, international articles prioritized generic research topics, such as species diversity, climate change, health care, and malaria infection. Topic modeling analysis identified that international trade policy and trade cooperation were dominant research topics for both domestic and international journal articles. However, Myanmar's internal specific issues such as Buddhism, history, and the military issues were analyzed as important topics by domestic articles while global topics such as energy/resources problem, education, health policy, and species diversity were ranked as important topics in international articles. Periodical research trend analysis distinguishes the directions of domestic and international research articles. In domestic journal articles, Myanmar’s internal domestic issues such as religion and language were dominant topics before the economic opening period. In the initial stage of economic opening, research proportions on Korean companies' strategies for entering to Myanmar market were high. In the period of openness expansion, market entry strategies for individual industry sectors and analysis of investment effects were important research topics. On the other hand, international articles showed consistency and firmness in selecting research topics, such as food issues, species diversity, climate change, health care, and education policy. This paper empirically suggests that domestic journal articles focus on international trade and investment-related issues by taking an economic approach while international articles highlight the diverse characteristics of Myanmar by taking a holistic approach.

AUTHORIAL PRESENCE IN SERBIAN AND ENGLISH COAUTHORED SOCIAL SCIENCE ARTICLES

This paper examines the means by which authors’ presence in co-authored articles is signaled directly in Serbian and international research articles belonging to social sciences and written in English by Serbian and native English speakers respectively. By comparing 15 Serbian and 11 international articles, the study tested the hypothesis that Serbian authors avoid the use of first-person pronouns in order to demonstrate authorial modesty, compared to English-speaking authors, whose direct usage of the first-person plural was expected to occur regularly. Additional research questions asked were about the discourse functions performed by first-person plural pronouns referring to the co-authors of the texts, as well as the use of the inclusive/exclusive we by the two examined groups. The results showed that Anglo-American authors use considerably more first-person pronouns in their research articles, although their placement in separate article sections had a similar pattern in both groups. According to Dontcheva-Navratilova’s (2013) taxonomy, the two dominant discourse functions performed by the authorial we were those of the recounter of the research process and the opinion-holder, although with their order switched between the groups. Finally, neither group used the inclusive we to a great extent, except for the Intro+Lit section of the papers, where its inclusion in the text grew up to 52.5% in the Sr group, but only 23% in the AnAm group. These results suggest that cultural practices in establishing authorial presence between Serbian and Anglo-American writers may be closer than previously thought.

The collapse of neoliberal concept of education in the COVID-19 era and the prospects for post-COVID education

Introduction. The authors investigate the problem of value changes occurring in the higher education system. The COVID-19 pandemic, which spread around the world in early 2020, has had a serious impact on higher education. It has led to the need to revise the axiological foundations of modern education. The purpose of this article is to analyze the neoliberal concept of higher education in the modern world and identify trends for the future post-COVID education. Materials and Methods. The materials included international research articles published between 2020 and 2021 and devoted to the subject under study, as well as a sociological study conducted in the Republic of Kazakhstan and investigating well-being and value orientations of students during the COVID-19 pandemic. A sample of 1,000 university students from all 14 regions in Kazakhstan was interviewed. The main proportion of students was retained in the sample (by gender, language of instruction, nationality, years of study and degree programmes). The study was conducted using the Google Forms application. The main research methods were content analysis of scholarly literature (more than 40 international sources), as well as analysis based on the results of the sociological survey of students in Kazakhstan. Results. The authors revealed that if at the very beginning researchers paid attention to such negative aspects of the pandemic as poor technical equipment, Internet failures, unpreparedness of academic staff and students for online learning, the growth of student debts due to job loss, etc., then it soon became clear that the pandemic affected not only the external (economic, technical) side of education, but also its very essence. Today, researchers all over the world are critically analyzing the foundations of modern higher education - neoliberal concepts that have dominated in different countries since the late twentieth century and the development of globalization. It is shown that the current global educational crisis has not been caused by the pandemic, but by the unaccounted negative consequences of the deep penetration of neoliberalism ideas into society (market relations, uncontrolled competition, weakening of the role of the state, weak support for social sectors of the economy, etc.). The authors argue that societies with a developed system of neoliberal higher education experience more stress than developing, traditional ones like Kazakhstan, since the basis of education of the former is mainly the market and monetary-market relations, the basis of the latter is moral, intangible values of education. Conclusions. Exploring the prospects of post-secondary education based on international research investigations, the authors have put forward the ideas about the need to abandon neoliberalism in favor of greater humanization, fundamentalization and ecologization of education, strengthening state control and financing. The authors consider this as the only possible form for progressive development of higher education after the pandemic.
