Total Neoadjuvant Therapy for Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer: How to Select the Most Suitable?

Rectal cancer shows specific characteristics in terms of pattern of recurrence, which occurs commonly at both local and distant sites. The standard of care for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) including neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, followed by surgery based on the total mesorectal excision principles leads to a reduction in the rates of local recurrences to 6-7% at 5 years. However, the outcomes among those with high-risk lesions remain unsatisfactory. On the contrary, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy results in long-term morbidities among those with low-risk lesions. Furthermore, the overall survival benefit of neoadjuvant therapy is still a subject to be debated, except for patients with complete or near-complete response to neoadjuvant therapy. Total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) is a new paradigm of management of high-risk rectal cancer that includes early administration of the most effective systemic therapy either before or after neoadjuvant radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy prior to surgery with or without adjuvant chemotherapy. TNT potentially improves disease-free survival, even though whether it can prolong survival has been debatable. Recently, neoadjuvant chemotherapy only has been proved to be non-inferior to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in patients with low-risk lesions. This review intends to review the current evidences of neoadjuvant therapy and propose a more customized paradigm of management of LARC.

A New Paradigm of Management and Accounting in the VUCA World and the Impact on Tax Evasion

Abstract The research on the effects of new management and accounting paradigms in the VUCA world on tax evasion has been extensively reviewed in this work. The complexity of tax systems and inequality are the major causes of tax evasion that are the subject of the research. The study’s questions center on how the new management and accounting paradigms affect tax evasion and how businesses use to reduce their tax obligations. The primary issues covered in the literature review are how governments have adopted these new tactics and how this new paradigm has resulted in less tax evasion, thanks to the enforcement measures. The government has improved its data analytics capabilities and coordination with the appropriate authorities. The implications of tax evasion and how it has affected governance are major topics of discussion. The main topic of discussion is how this new paradigm has significantly impacted the government’s approach to the problem of tax evasion. A thorough analysis of the literature on the effects of new management and accounting paradigms in the VUCA environment on tax evasion is provided in this study as a contribution to the area. It offers insightful information on businesses’ tactics to reduce their tax obligations and the effects on the tax system. Also, it offers suggestions for how governments might respond to the problems brought on by the new management and accounting paradigms.

Corporate System of Modern Nuclear Knowledge

The paper considers methodological issues related to the formation of a corporate system of modern nuclear knowledge, which is the core of the new paradigm of the nuclear industry staffing at the present stage. The category "Personnel/Knowledge" represents the main element which connects the new paradigm of nuclear industry development, which reflects the logic of nuclear sector development, and the new paradigm of management, which, in its turn, reflects the structural changes in the business environment of the XXI century. These two paradigms form the basis of the modern platform for innovative development of the nuclear industry as an informational basis for strategic decision-making. Nuclear personnel support at the present stage, being an integral part of the modern platform, at the same time represents one of the most important and complex tasks of innovative development, the solution of which, being implemented in the corporate strategy.

A new paradigm in management of frequent attenders to emergency departments with severe alcohol use disorder-A pilot study for assertive community treatment in Singapore.

A majority of frequent users of emergency medical services in Singapore present with alcohol-related problems. These patients are known to engage poorly with traditional addiction services and frequently attend Emergency Departments (EDs) instead, resulting in high healthcare burden. Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is an alternative intervention to traditional addiction management. ACT involves community visits with focus on holistic care and harm-reduction. We conducted a prospective before-and-after cohort study at the major tertiary center for addiction disorders in Singapore. The main objective was to evaluate effectiveness of ACT in reducing alcohol-related attendances at EDs nationwide. Socio-demographics, alcohol-related ED attendances, and the Christo Inventory for Substance-misuse Services (CISS) scores were collected for the patients recruited from April 2018 to March 2019. Descriptive analyses and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test were performed. All 14 patients were male with a mean age of 55 years. There was a significant 45.3% reduction in average alcohol-related ED attendances from 6.8 (range 3-22, median 5.5) in the pre-intervention 6-month period, to 3.7 (range 0-28, median 1.5) in the post-intervention 6-month period (Z = -2.244, p = 0.025). CISS scores showed significant improvement from a pre-intervention median of 13.5 (range 9-16) to a post-intervention median of 6.5 (range 1-10, p = 0.001), corresponding to reduction in alcohol-related problem severity. This pilot study suggests that ACT can be effective in reducing alcohol-related ED attendances and alcohol-related problem severity in patients with AUD who frequently attend ED. A multicenter, prospective study using ACT for such patients across four hospitals in Singapore is currently underway.

Managing the social capital of the organization: problems of the practical application of the new paradigm of management and the ways of their solution

The publication examines the theoretical aspects and practical problems of social capital management at the corporate level. The concept of social capital, its differences from other aspects of the management of intangible capital of modern organizations is presented. The reasons for insufficient attention to social capital management in the practice of corporate management have been clarified. Based on the results of the analysis of social reporting of 18 largest companies – leaders in key sectors of the economy, it is shown that key corporate entities acting as drivers of the socio – economic development of the Russian Federation are not involved in the practice of social capital management. The directions of social capital management are substantiated, the place in the ESG system is determined, and the directions for assessing social capital are proposed. It is concluded that, despite insufficient practical development, social capital management is intended to become a promising and significant area of corporate management in the ESG direction.

Problems of Improving the New Paradigm of Social Processes Management in Modern Ukraine

Theoretical analysis and practical application of the management system of social processes is impossible without a clear methodological basis, which is part of the paradigm. The paradigm is usually based on a system of principles that determine the prospects for the development of science. An important achievement of modern methodology of science is the theoretical substantiation of the position on the historical variability of the paradigm. This is due to the steady process of development of social practice, the expansion of the problem field of science and the improvement of research methods. It follows that any paradigm, including management, exists only within a certain time. Then it inevitably undergoes rethinking and gives way to a new paradigm. Based on this, the purpose of this article is to try to identify the most promising semantic landmarks around which to improve the new paradigm of management of social processes, and the task - to record such paradigmatic changes in the system of principles.

Инновационная экосистема: теоретический обзор предметной области

The article focuses on a relatively new concept of innovation ecosystem. The purpose of this article is to provide an analytical review of the Russian and international research field associated with this concept. The study relies on the methods of meaningful content analysis of publications. The article outlines the history of the concept’s emergence; six different approaches to its understanding and their evolution. Based on a wide range of sources, the analysis reveals the fundamental aspects of the concept directly related to the diversity of its applications. Demonstrating the differences between the concept of innovation ecosystem and other similar concepts (e. g. digital ecosystem, regional innovation ecosystem), we show the main feature of all ecosystems — the coevolution of its participants throughout their interaction. The factors that affect the development of innovation ecosystems are also identified. The final part of the article is devoted to the analysis of the interpretations of the concept ‘innovation ecosystem’ and to the conceptual ‘traps’ inherent in the operationalization of this concept. The concept ‘innovation ecosystem’ is now beginning to acquire practical significance marking the transition to a new paradigm in management; it is the starting point for a variety of approaches designed to solve specific practical problems.

Management in the Hypermodernity

Abstract
 
 This study will discuss the transformation to a new paradigm of management in a world of volatility, uncertainty, complexity und ambiguity, that is called the VUCA-world [13] and have have great effects on organizations that face externally and internally changes and struggle between old and new management philosophies. Organizations with path-dependencies on trivial assumptions reach their limits in a VUCA-world so that they have to rethink their future vitality. Conventional management approaches interpret companies as easy handling machines with obvious behavior. In this context, monocultural companies are past-orientated, too rigid and less able to learn from experiences and adapt accordingly with a lack of creativity and innovation.
 There are several proposals to reinvent organizations such as living systems that have evolutionary purpose [11]. Ortmann [15] defines the time after the postmodernity as the hypermodernity that requires to manage contingency and dynamic complexity. That has effects on new management paradigm. This explorative literature review presents the relational management approach in the hypermodernity that is based on systemic-relational assumptions as this proposal is characterized by high sensitivity for complex fields such as Big Data. This leads to an iterative learning process design of enabling and empowering management of capabilities towards handling multioptions and contingent environments in the digital age.
 
 Keywords: Hypermodernity, management, complexity, process design.

A Hidden Markov Model Combined With Markov Games for Intrusion Detection in Cloud

Cloud computing has evolved as a new paradigm for management of an infrastructure and gained ample consideration in both industrial and academic area of research. A hidden Markov model (HMM) combined with Markov games can give a solution that may act as a countermeasure for many cyber security threats and malicious intrusions in a network or in a cloud. A HMM can be trained by using training sequences that may be obtained by analyzing the file traces of packet analyzer like Wireshark network analyzer. In this article, the authors have proposed a model in which HMM can be build using a set of training examples that are obtained by using a network analyzer (i.e., Wireshark). As it is not an intrusion detection system, the obtained file traces may be used as training examples to test a HMM model. It also predicts a probability value for each tested sequence and states if sequence is anomalous or not. A numerical example is also shown in this article that calculates the most optimal sequence of observations for both HMM and state sequence probabilities in case a HMM model is already given.

The Experience of Complex Pain Dynamics in Oncology Outpatients

Few qualitative studies of cancer patients' everyday experiences with pain exist within the large body of cancer pain research. Longitudinal qualitative studies are particularly sparse, and no studies have qualitatively described patients' pain experience over time during participation in a self-management intervention. To longitudinally describe patients' pain experiences during a 10-week pain self-management intervention. This qualitative study was embedded in a randomized controlled trial of a psychoeducational pain management intervention. The data consisted of transcribed audio recordings of each intervention session. An emergent, interpretive approach was used in this longitudinal qualitative analysis. Forty-two adult patients were included. The analysis revealed the strikingly dynamic nature of individual patient's pain experiences. Multiple facets of pain contributed to its dynamic nature, including pain in changing locations, co-occurring sources of pain, and varying patterns of pain intensity over time. For individual patients, the cumulative effect of these multiple facets resulted in a phenomenon we termed "complex pain dynamics." The results contribute to knowledge about the dynamic nature of cancer patients' pain experiences over a relatively short period. They suggest the need for a new paradigm for management of pain in cancer patients and raise questions about the interpretation of randomized controlled trial results in the absence of qualitative data. Frequent assessments and reassessments of pain are needed in cancer patients with the ongoing development of highly individualized self-management strategies. A large repertoire of interventions is needed to effectively manage pain in cancer patients over time.

An update on the management of adult traumatic nerve injuries-replacing old paradigms: A review.

Acute nerve injuries are routinely encountered in multisystem trauma patients. Advances in surgical treatment of nerve injuries now mean that good outcomes can be achieved. Despite this, old mantras associated with management of nerve injuries, including "wait a year to see if recovery occurs" and "there's nothing we can do", persist. Practicing by these mantras places these patients at a disadvantage. Changes begin to occur in the nerve, neuromuscular junction, and muscle from the moment a nerve injury occurs. These changes can become irreversible approximately 18 to 24 months following denervation. Thus, it is a race to reestablish a functional nerve-muscle connection before these irreversible changes. Good outcomes rely on appropriate acute management and avoiding delays in care. Primary nerve surgery options include direct primary repair, nerve graft repair, and nerve transfer. Acute management of nerve injuries proceeds according to the rule of 3's and requires early cooperation between trauma surgeons who recognize the nerve injury and consultant nerve surgeons. Care of patients with acute traumatic nerve injuries should not be delayed. Awareness of current management paradigms among trauma surgeons will help facilitate optimal upfront management. With the ever-expanding surgical options for management of these injuries and the associated improvement of outcomes, early multidisciplinary approaches to these injuries have never been more important. Old mantras must be replaced with new paradigms to continue to see improvements in outcomes for these patients. The importance of this review is to raise awareness among trauma surgeons of new paradigms for management of traumatic nerve injuries.

Questions to the structure and culture of the new paradigm of management of new public management

This paper aims to critically analyze the structure and the new culture of public administration paradigm named as the new administration or public management of public organizations. The main challenge is to try to explain why the dysfunctional management practices in the structure and the new culture of public organizations that are copied from focusing on administrative processes management practices of private organizations model. In doing so, it has been reviewed the literature in general from the perspective of neo-institutionalism on this subject and by using the method of critical analysis of organizations. More than dysfunctions, in this work the main challenges and worries to the implementation of the paradigm of management or governance are identified. Despite the theoretical -methodological nuances of the new institutional economy and its implications for economic theory, it is inadequate to describe only subtly strategies of the private management. This paper presents an original approach to the critical analysis of new public management. The revision of the paradigm of new public management is carried out essentially in the methodological steps needed to question and identify the action of the state in the administration of organizations and public agencies, by applying the specific management practices, based on the theoretical and methodological framework of the new institutionalism critical criteria.

The primary objective of our analysis was to demonstrate that patients with simultaneous bilateral ureteral calculi (SBUC) do not all have exactly the same initial clinical presentation. Therefore, a tailored approach should be applied to their management just as in any other clinical condition. Traditionally, patients with SBUC undergo immediate upper tract drainage and deferred definitive stone treatment. As emphasized in our study and the Editorial Comment, 1 Peter L.S. Simultaneous bilateral ureteral calculi: A new paradigm for management [Editorial Comment]. Urology. Google Scholar this staged approach remains the standard of care in patients with SBUC who present with true emergencies including infection, significant renal injury, or electrolyte abnormalities. However, this represents less than a third of patients with SBUC in our series.

Workplace Spirituality- A New Paradigm in Management

Workplace spirituality has been researched for a decade and while there have been papers studying the same, it is still not adequately applied in real-time in the workplace. This is due to the major constraint of lack of systems approach to the entire gamut of the input, throughput and output of the workplace spirituality systems and processes. There is also a lot of confusion surrounding the definition and the meaning of the concept of workplace spirituality. This paper attempts to fill this gap in research by putting together the various dimensions of workplace spirituality. It addresses the various implications for organizations and relates it to motives beyond the bottom line for managers and organizations at large. This paper is concluded with a model which may be empirically tested in further studies. The major contribution of this paper is in the form of compiling all major research studies in the form of an empirically testable model.
