The global patent landscape of emerging infectious disease monkeypox.

Monkeypox is an emerging infectious disease with confirmed cases and deaths in several parts of the world. In light of this crisis, this study aims to analyze the global knowledge pattern of monkeypox-related patents and explore current trends and future technical directions in the medical development of monkeypox to inform research and policy. A comprehensive study of 1,791 monkeypox-related patents worldwide was conducted using the Derwent patent database by descriptive statistics, social network method and linear regression analysis. Since the 21st century, the number of monkeypox-related patents has increased rapidly, accompanied by increases in collaboration between commercial and academic patentees. Enterprises contributed the most in patent quantity, whereas the initial milestone patent was filed by academia. The core developments of technology related to the monkeypox include biological and chemical medicine. The innovations of vaccines and virus testing lack sufficient patent support in portfolios. Monkeypox-related therapeutic innovation is geographically limited with strong international intellectual property right barriers though it has increased rapidly in recent years. The transparent licensing of patent knowledge is driven by the merger and acquisition model, and the venture capital, intellectual property and contract research organization model. Currently, the patent thicket phenomenon in the monkeypox field may slow the progress of efforts to combat monkeypox. Enterprises should pay more attention to the sharing of technical knowledge, make full use of drug repurposing strategies, and promote innovation of monkeypox-related technology in hotspots of antivirals (such as tecovirimat, cidofovir, brincidofovir), vaccines (JYNNEOS, ACAM2000), herbal medicine and gene therapy.

Междисциплинарный подход к оказанию услуг в сфере здравоохранения: российские практики в экспертных оценках в кейсе паллиативной помощи

Public innovations in the development of palliative care within the framework of an interdisciplinary approach introduced by the Federal Law № 18-FZ dated 06.03.2019 "On Amendments to the Federal Law "On the Basics of Public Health Protection in the Russian Federation" on palliative care" require expert assessments, which determines the relevance of the research topic and goal setting – to describe the state and identify changes in the organization of palliative care in the Russian Federation in expert assessments in connection with the introduced public innovations. The research methods are: secondary analysis of foreign model of palliative care organization and longitudinal study with the method of expert assessments of 2017, 2023. The results of the study are as follows. Firstly, it is revealed that under modern conditions, interdisciplinary approach is becoming a methodological basis for ensuring health systems sustainability. Secondly, the results of longitudinal study show that introduced public innovations in transformation of the Russian palliative care model increase expert assessments to satisfactory positioning concerning most components of palliative care organization, which was characterized as "very low" and "low" in 2017. Thirdly, such a component as "exemption from work for persons caring for a seriously ill family member (sick leave for care)", which received low expert ratings, is the growing point in the organizational model of palliative care.

CARING NATURE (ClimAte neutRal INitiatives for GrowiNg heAlTh and care Unmet REquirements) - Waste Management in Health Care

Background: Each OR has the potential to produce up to 2300 kg of waste/year. A recent study from UK, USA and Canada documented that ORs were found to be up to 6 times more energy-consuming than other hospital departments, but in addition, ORs generate several types of waste and by-products, each requiring a different disposal.
 Aims: This project aims to provide a paradigmatic change in the life-cycle of waste produced in the OR.
 Methods: 1) We will provide an accurate measure of the total amount of waste produced in the OR, by monitoring activities in the OR for a 2-weeks period. 2) We will produce operational guidelines, based on 3 levels of interventions: A) Reuse; B) Rethink (raise awareness and promote education on health-care waste); and C) Reduce. 3) We will produce an organization model based on a new tool to discard products and implement their recycling. 4) We will provide the blueprint of reusable products, by scrutinizing the market of surgical devices and testing/comparing potential devices to those routinary employed. 5) Finally, we will divulgate a training package for all healthcare workers working in the OR focused on the management of hospital waste.
 Results: This project is part of the CARING NATURE initiative, submitted and funded in the HORIZON-HLTH-2023-CARE-04 call. The 36-months project will start on January 2024.
 Conclusions: This EU-funded project will add knowledge, implement management with new tools, address unmet needs, promote re-use, limit overuse, and disseminate guidelines to radically change OR management.
  
  
 Funding: This work has been supported by the CARING NATURE project that has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under the Grant Agreement No. 101101322.
  

Enhancing self-management skills of students through primary school class activities based on the Selection, Design, Organization, and Assessment model: a mixed methods study

ABSTRACT Class activities are a pivotal instrument in augmenting students’ self-management skills. However, a prevalent challenge is the passive participation of students, leading to a diminished sense of engagement. To tackle this issue, this study undertook an in-depth analysis to identify the underlying issues hampering the effectiveness of class activities. Consequently, the Selection, Design, Organization, and Assessment (SDOA) class activity model was developed, aimed specifically at enhancing students’ self-management skills. The study encompassed a sample of 100 elementary school students from two distinct classes, engaging them in a series of meticulously designed activities under the SDOA model, and subsequently interviewing them. The empirical results indicate that class activities structured around the SDOA model significantly improve the self-management capabilities of students. Hence, incorporating the SDOA model into class activities in elementary schools emerges as a robust strategy in fostering self-management competencies among students.

Adaptive management model of the higher education system in the context of the transition to the digital economy

   Purpose: of the study is to develop an adaptive model of higher education system management in the context of digital transformation of the economy.   Methods: the methods of interdisciplinary, structural and logical analysis, typologization of management models, rating and expert assessments were used in the work. The methodological basis of the research was: a three-sided model of higher education management assessment, a "management cube", including a model of new managerialism, a two-plane model of higher education system assessment, level-based, adaptive approaches to higher education management.   Results: based on the analysis of the higher education management system in the context of the digital transformation of the economy, the need for the formation of new adaptive mechanisms and management models of this system as an area where human capital is formed and developed, necessary for the breakthrough development of the country. Also, the trends of digitalization in the field of higher education have been identifi ed. Recommendations for its adaptation to the digital transformation of the economy have been developed and substantiated. As a key tool of the adaptive management model, an organizational model of adaptive management of the higher education system has been developed, which makes it possible to adapt the entire education system to the challenges of digital transformation of the economy.   Conclusions and Relevance: the developed organizational model will make it possible to build an eff ective work of the higher education system using adaptive management mechanisms, that allow it to optimally adapt to modern transformational processes, that occur according to cyclical crisis phenomena and the next industrial revolution. Digital transformation and the conditions of Industry 4.0, as well as the technological singularity, which is already the reality, do not allow us to strategically correctly build one specifi c model of management of the higher education system, since the above-mentioned processes become the trigger for constant transformations, including in the field of education. The organizational model of adaptive management proposed by the authors is innovative, allowing to adapt iteratively to the ongoing transformations of social and economic systems. Thus, this model is strategically relevant and promising for the both modern conditions of functioning and long-term development of the education sector.

Enhancing Educational Ecosystems: Implementing Peter Senge's Learning Organization Model in Islamic Boarding Schools

The inability of pesantren in the 21st-century era of knowledge and technology to maintain its classical madrasah system raises significant questions. Therefore, understanding how Madrasah Hidayatul Mubtadiin (MHM) in Lirboyo, Kediri City, as one of the Salafiyah Islamic Boarding Schools, adapts to its environment through the implementation of Peter Senge's five learning organization (LO) disciplines is crucial. This research adopts a qualitative approach, employing a case study methodology. Data were gathered through observations, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that the implementation of LO at MHM Lirboyo Madrasah aligns well with the five disciplines of a learning organization. These include: 1) Personal mastery among teachers is demonstrated through self-reflection, exemplary behavior, diligence, and consistency in adhering to institutional rules. 2) Mental models cultivated through tolerant behavior, respect, awareness of the importance of learning, high motivation for learning, and practicing akhlakul karimah (noble character). 3) Shared vision fostered through a commitment to obeying the Kiai (religious leaders), openness, sharing of vision, and socialization of programs. 4) Team learning is facilitated through open discussions and group dialogue. 5) System thinking is promoted through the involvement of administrators, coordinated work efforts, and mutual support. This research contrasts negative assessments of pesantren, which often characterize them as rural Islamic social structures entrenched in a conservative culture, as articulated by Clifford Geertz, Ahmad Syafi'i Ma'arif, and Fuad Amsyari.

Implementing Integrated Reporting to Disclose Intellectual Capital in University

The research aim is to provide empirical and theoretical solutions for certain criticalities in the framework of Integrated Implementation Reporting (IIRF) within the context of higher education. Indeed, IIRF considers value creation only from the perspective of capital enhancement spurred by academic activities, overlooking the fulfillment of institutional missions as the true lever of value creation. This paper introduces a case study aimed at implementing IIRF at a University in Indonesia. The research is based on theory building from the case, action research, and intervention approaches. IIRF was chosen for its claimed ability to support communication processes with stakeholders and control over value creation, despite demonstrating some weaknesses. It highlights the role played by intellectual capital in the business model of organizations and in the value creation process. This adjustment appears to increase awareness of the role of intellectual capital in value creation at universities.  In this paper, not one part of the adapted framework is innovative on its own, but collectively they provide an innovative solution, addressing the disclosure and managerial needs of the studied organization. The single case study allows us to test the claimed weaknesses of IIRF in the literature, suggest some adjustments to the original framework, and validate its effectiveness. Thanks to the single case study, we were then able to construct a theoretical framework that develops theory inductively; now the suggested framework can be tested and further validated in other organizations. This paper introduces an innovative approach to reporting and disclosing intellectual capital in universities. It is relevant not only for external communication but also for internal purposes, aiding managers in decision-making and actions.

Модели организации деятельности полиции зарубежных государств в сфере взаимодействия с гражданским обществом

Introduction. In solving the problem of interaction between the police and civil society institutions in implementing the law enforcement function of the state, the policing experience of foreign countries can be actual for developing new conceptual provisions and dogmatic solutions adequate to contemporary conditions. The research of different models of police activity organisation in foreign countries will reveal common patterns and suggest more efficient and effective measures to organise interaction between the police and civil society institutions in Russia. Purpose of the research is to identify the most effective management mechanisms for the formation of interaction between the police and civil society institutions in implementing the law enforcement function of the state on the basis of theoretical and legal analysis of models of the organisation of police activities in foreign countries. Theoretical aspects of the organisation of local self-government, traditionally historically linked to policing, are reflected in the theses of E. S. Gorbatyuk, I. A. Gorsheneva, D. O. Ezevsky, A. M. Kononov and others. Comparative analysis of police activity of foreign states, including cooperation with civil society institutions, was carried out in the researches of I. A. Andreeva, A. V. Bykov , D. V. Vasiliev , A. V. Gubanov, E. V. Kirichok, A. K. Kiselev, O. B. Moroz, V. F. Saetgarayev, A. I. Stepanyan and others. The issues of interaction of the police and society were considered in the works of P. N. Kobets, N. S. Nizhnik, G. R. Rustemova, I. S. Prikhodko and others. The theory of the relationship between local political culture and the organisation of police activities (J. K. Wilson) was used to identify and evaluate the mechanisms of partnership between the police and society. Methods. The research is based on the system approach, general scientific methods (primarily analysis and synthesis), the method of materialistic dialectics; special methods: comparative-historical, formal-legal; historical-legal analysis, chronological method. Results. The studied models of police organisation in foreign countries are derived from the generic concept of “service model of police organisation”, are aimed at social cohesion, stability with a high level of citizen participation and are relevant for different countries. The priority task of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs is the social orientation of its activities, which allows police units to make their best in using the social and public potential of the Russian society in solving the tasks assigned to them.

Answering the Rehabilitation 2030 Call.

In 2017, the World Health Organization initiated a global effort to improve rehabilitative services by 2030, with the overall goal of helping individuals with disabilities achieve maximal independence and improved well-being. Though more than 1 billion people worldwide live with a disability, a significant portion do not have access to appropriate rehabilitative services. In low-income countries, such as Zambia, where rehabilitative services are greatly lacking, disability can further exacerbate economic disparities in the context of personal, cultural, and environmental factors that limit participation in society. Therefore, expansion of rehabilitative services in low-income countries is a pressing global need, and such efforts must be tailored to the societal and cultural framework in which they are implemented. Community-based rehabilitation programs are uniquely poised to provide services in similar low-to-middle-income countries as they eliminate travel barriers to care, allow for regular follow-up, and address the societal determinants of disability by encouraging greater community engagement and by decreasing cultural stigma around disability. Special Hope Network (SHN), a community-based rehabilitation organization in Lusaka, Zambia that serves families caring for children with physical and cognitive disabilities, represents a cost-effective, sustainable, and culturally practical model to provide rehabilitative care. We propose this organization's model as one that can be reproduced and expanded upon in other low-to-middle-income countries to answer the World Health Organization's call to action.

Improving vocational guidance through an expert system: Temporary decreasing and enhancing student self-awareness

Background The vocational guidance process in educational institutions faces important challenges in managing trials and errors in diagnoses. Technological tools are identified as an effective solution to address these problems. This research seeks to improve career guidance in educational institutions through the implementation of an expert system. The main objective is to reduce test processing time and achieve greater efficiency in students’ self-knowledge regarding their interests, based on the personalities of the Holland Test. Methods The development of the expert system followed a six-model approach. First, an organisational model was created to assess the scope and feasibility of the project. Next, a task and agent model was developed to investigate the impact and look for improvements. A knowledge model was then developed to analyse the relevant knowledge bases. A communication model was also developed to evaluate the communication interface of the system. Next, a design model was created to provide guidelines for the implementation of the system. Finally, the implementation of the knowledge system was carried out to ensure its correct functioning. Results The implementation of the expert system has shown significant improvements in the vocational guidance process. It was possible to reduce the time needed to apply the test, thus optimising the psychologist’s time and allowing a greater capacity for analysis. In addition, an improvement in the effectiveness of the students’ self-knowledge in relation to their vocational interests based on the personalities of the Holland Test was observed. Conclusions This study contributes to career guidance in educational institutions by introducing an innovative expert system. This technological solution optimizes the career guidance process, benefiting psychologists administering tests and students seeking self-knowledge about their career interests.

LEVERAGING DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AND ERP FOR ENHANCED OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY IN MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISES

Purpose: The process of making the most of digital tools in the workplace to support an organization's success is known as "leveraging on technology." By automating manual tasks more quickly, modern ERP systems free up time and funds for other important projects. Data can be aggregated by contemporary ERP systems for simpler management, access, and analysis.   Method: Systems for enterprise resource planning, or ERPs, have become a vital component of contemporary manufacturing processes. These integrated software solutions are essential for improving, streamlining, and controlling many aspects of manufacturing, including financial control, customer service, production and inventory management. Manufacturers can effectively manage vital resources like labor, equipment, and materials with the help of ERP systems. ERP helps eliminate waste, minimize production delays, and maximize resource utilization by offering real-time visibility into resource allocation and availability.   Result and Conclusion: Manufacturing process synchronization and automation are made easier by ERP software. Work orders, production schedules, and quality control can all be managed by it, resulting in seamless and effective manufacturing processes. In manufacturing, keeping the proper amount of inventory on hand is a difficult task. ERP systems give producers insights into demand trends, order lead times, and reorder points, which helps them optimize inventory levels. In addition to lowering carrying costs and preventing stockouts, this minimizes superfluous inventory.   Implication of Research: An organization's operational model is altered by digital transformation. This process involves systems, workflow, processes, and culture. Every level of an organization is impacted by this transition, which unifies data from different departments to collaborate more successfully.   Originality/Value: Enhanced Efficiency: Businesses are able to allocate resources more effectively thanks to automation and streamlined processes, which also lower operational costs and increase productivity.

Organization of forest geosystems in the Lower Amur region by a case study of the Komsomol’sky Nature Reserve

This article is devoted to the structural-functional organization of the forest geosystems of Komsomol’sky Nature Reserve located in the south of the Lower Amur Region. It considers a landscape organization model built using the information theory methods. The model is represented as a block diagram consisting of digraphs, in  whose center there are landscape features. This model is a modified version of the previously published one for the studied territory. It is built on the basis of richer field data and with the addition of previously unused landscape features. Weak links of medium density predominate in the model, which may indicate the stability of the forest geosystems formed there. Our analysis shows that  the main factors determining the structure of Komsomol’sky Nature Reserve’s forest geosystems are altitudinal-exposure zonality, altitude, lithology of parent rocks, and soil  hydrothermal conditions. It is established that the stand of timber is directly related to the humus soil horizon lithomass: it decreases with an increase in  lithomass. Plants biomass is highly dependent on the steepness of slopes: it decreases with its increase. Separate relationships have been revealed for plant layers. The herbaceous layer height decreases with an increase in the altitude and lithom ass in the soil. The herbage floristic diversity differs greatly in land facie groups and has a maximum  in the ridge-top areas of the slopes and at the foot hill. The shrub layer height depends on soil moisture content, lithology of parent rocks and lithomass: it de-creases with increasing soil moisture content most of all and increases with increasing lithomass in the soil. A relationship has been found only with the lithomass in the soil for all tree layer features. A lithomass increase has a depressing effect on trees.

Research on the Legal Status of Urban Governments: from the Practice of Thu Duc City, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Objective: The article studies the legal status of city government in centrally run cities through legal regulations as a basis for the organization, operation, and construction of city government in Centrally run cities: From the practice of Thu Duc City, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. From there, the authors proposed to improve the system of legal regulations related to the organization and operations of the Thu Duc City government.
  
 Method: The article is conducted based on synthesizing and analyzing international documents, thereby drawing out achievements and shortcomings of laws related to the organization and operation of government. Thu Duc City's authority in the process of organizing and implementing regulations in practice. In addition, the authors also conducted a survey of 300 votes on three related subjects: managers of Ho Chi Minh City and Thu Duc City; department-level managers in Thu Duc City; Ward-level People's Committee; and people in Thu Duc City about the legal regulations as a basis for perfecting the legal status and organization, operation and construction of the government of Thu Duc city and Ho Chi Minh City.
  
 Results and Discussion: The city-within-a-city model has existed and developed in several countries around the world such as China, Korea, Japan, and the Philippines. However, the city government model in centrally run cities in Vietnam is completely new, so there are still many legal problems, as well as practical implementation. Therefore, this article summarizes the legal regulations as a basis for building the Thu Duc City government, based on analyzing the achievements and shortcomings of the law related to the organization. and activities of the Thu Duc City government in the process of organizing and implementing regulations in practice. From there, the authors proposed to improve the system of legal regulations related to the organization and operations of the Thu Duc City government.
  
 Discussion: The government organization model in a special administrative-economic unit like the Thu Duc City government comes from the special and unique features of the objects managed and served by the government apparatus, Therefore, it is necessary to have certain characteristics in terms of position, role, function, authority, organizational structure, and operating methods, which are not completely similar to the local government organization model at the same level of the whole country. country, according to the general provisions of current Vietnamese law.

Nietzsche’s three metamorphoses of the spirit and Schopenhauer’s primordial suffering: an organizational culture change model redefining spirituality in the workplace

PurposeThe paper redefines workplace spirituality (WS/WPS) by transcending the existential vacuum (in psychiatric terms a sense of lack of meaning of human existence and thus of work), leading to the development of workplace creativity, productivity and satisfaction, targeting operational profitability and organizational optimization.Design/methodology/approachSpirituality is analyzed philosophically, following the Nietzschean definition in response to Schopenhauer’s primordial suffering. Philosophical syncretism yields a viable organizational culture change model of spiritualizing the workplace. For this purpose, specific techniques are proposed which are combined with those already applied to various large companies and organizations.FindingsSpirituality in the workplace acts as a catalyst for developing beneficial qualities by increasing employee job satisfaction, organizational efficiency and business profitability, when equally responding to stakeholders’ needs.Practical implicationsThe suggested change model holistically fosters organizational, operational, individual and collective effectiveness through work place spirituality redefined.Originality/valueFor the first time spirituality in the workplace is discussed under a brand new perspective, resulting in an interdisciplinary emerging model, contributing to the field by providing guidance to academics and practitioners to its auspicious implementation through organizational culture change.

Managerial aspects spects of digitalization of the transport and logistics ecosystem

A virtual organization is the newest form of business organizations, one of the forms of which are distributed companies with their own production facilities and transport and logistics resources, or using the services of production and logistics centers located on different continents and in different countries, forming project/matrix management structures, attracting specialists from different countries. The article discusses the advantages and risks of managing distributed organizations based on digital technologies. The authors characterize the fields of activity of distributed companies and assess the potential for their expansion. The trend towards digitalization of management processes determines the logic of transformation of the organizational structure model from a traditional hierarchical to an open, flexible one. It is shown that transportation and logistics functions are critically important in ensuring the activities of distributed organizations, within the framework of which the transfer of raw materials, materials in progress, finished products, goods between production centers, sales centers, intermediaries of various kinds, customers and end consumers is realized.The following research methods were used: scientific review, monitoring, situational, retrospective and prospective analysis, as well as critical assessment and formulation of author’s judgments and conclusions on the scientific basis of leading scientists and specialists in the field of economics, management, logistics, operational work management.

Applied sociological projects in the context of the clinical educational model of the Saint Petersburg State University

Applied sociological projects can play an important role in reducing the gap between higher education and labor markets, but for this educational organizations need to develop a mechanism for interaction between students and employers. The article presents the clinical model used at the Saint Petersburg State University as a tool for organizing applied sociological projects as a part of the educational process. The authors describe the features of the Sociological Clinic of Applied Research of the Saint Petersburg State University, the results of its work and the directions of its development, providing some practical recommendations for introducing a clinical training infrastructure in educational programs in sociology. These recommendations may be useful for universities that want to improve their interaction with the labor market and their quality of education. The development and assessment of forms for integrating employers’ requests into educational institutions are current methodological tasks, and solutions developed and tested by the Saint Petersburg State University, namely the clinical approach, may be interesting for all participants of the education market. Its uniqueness is determined by the flexible organizational model which focuses on characteristics of different educational areas. Over a five-year period, the Sociological Clinic of Applied Research has become an educational form that successfully combines classical education with project-based activities, giving students the opportunity to include in-demand cases into their portfolios and establish relationships with representatives of local communities. This experience will be useful for improving the quality of education in sociology-related areas.

[The center for intensive care medicine: amodel for interdisciplinary and interprofessional collaboration].

The Federal Joint Committee has established requirements for centers for intensive care medicine which, in cooperation with other clinics, are to take on special tasks for intensive care medicine in aregion. High demands are placed on these centers, which it may not be possible to meet without restructuring the existing intensive care structures. In this study, an organizational model for acenter for intensive care medicine based on broad interdisciplinary and interprofessional cooperation is presented for discussion. The organizational model contains proposals for integration of the centers for intensive care medicine into the clinic structure, the management team, the staff composition, the areas of clinical activity, and the further tasks of research, teaching, and education and training. Establishment of the centers for intensive care medicine provides new and forward-looking impetus for the further development of intensive care medicine in Germany. However, for the new organizational model to be implemented effectively, the necessary restructuring measures must be adequately refinanced and supported by hospital management and medical faculties. In addition, asustained willingness for interdisciplinary and interprofessional cooperation is required on the part of all those involved, and employees in this model must be offered attractive long-term positions in intensive care medicine.
