Drug dependence and suicide, a growing problem

Both nationally and internationally, drug dependence and suicide are problems with a high prevalence rate and in recent years have had an upward trend, bringing with them multiple social and health consequences. The relationship between drug dependence and suicide is statistically significant, with drug-dependent patients having a risk up to six times higher of attempting suicide compared to the general population. Therefore, it is important to know the risk factors associated with suicidal behavior in drug-dependent patients, in order to improve the prevention, treatment and prognosis of both problems. Although it is true that many of the risk factors associated with suicidal behavior are already known, these factors in the context of drug-dependent patients are still a subject that has not been investigated as much, and particularly at the national level, the variability of the factors according to the different regions, multiculturalism, socioeconomic strata, etc., are not taken into account. Therefore, it is recommended to increase the research budget, emphasizing on the variables and populations already mentioned, in order to have better qualified health personnel in the problem in question.

Экономика СССР в начальный период Великой Отечественной войны. Часть 2

This article is the final one, the second part of the study devoted to the analysis of the economic history of the USSR in the initial period of the Great Patriotic War (1941–1942). The author considers the aspects of economic development not discussed in the first part of the article. The greatest place is occupied by the analysis of the standard of living of the population in its various aspects. Numerous sources are used, including statistical collections of the war years, survey guides and memoirs of contemporaries. In addition to the current consumption of goods, the consumption of services and living conditions of the population are also considered. The author analyzes the role of Lend-Lease economy in the USSR in detail. Supplies under the Lend-Lease program are considered not only for this period, but throughout the war. The analysis is carried out for individual product groups. It is shown that, contrary to the prevailing ideas in literature about the insignificance of the share of supplies under the Lend-Lease program, based on their estimates in value terms, especially in many key areas, the role of these supplies in the economy of the USSR during the war was enormous. The state of science and higher education during the turning point of the war is examined. It is shown that they were preserved and played an important role in improving the qualifications of personnel and the quality of military equipment. Particular attention is paid to the initial stage of research on atomic weapons. It is shown that despite limited resources, already in the most difficult period of the war in the USSR, research on the creation of nuclear weapons began.

Challenges to establishing and maintaining kidney transplantation programs in developing countries: What are the coping strategies?

Kidney transplantation (KT) is the optimal form of renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage renal diseases. However, this health service is not available to all patients, especially in developing countries. The deceased donor KT programs are mostly absent, and the living donor KT centers are scarce. Single-center studies presenting experiences from developing countries usually report a variety of challenges. This review addresses these challenges and the opposing strategies by reviewing the single-center experiences of developing countries. The financial challenges hamper the infrastructural and material availability, coverage of transplant costs, and qualification of medical personnel. The sociocultural challenges influence organ donation, equity of beneficence, and regular follow-up work. Low interests and motives for transplantation may result from high medicolegal responsibilities in KT practice, intense potential psychosocial burdens, complex qualification protocols, and low productivity or compensation for KT practice. Low medical literacy about KT advantages is prevalent among clinicians, patients, and the public. The inefficient organizational and regulatory oversight is translated into inefficient healthcare systems, absent national KT programs and registries, uncoordinated job descriptions and qualification protocols, uncoordinated on-site investigations with regulatory constraints, and the prevalence of commercial KT practices. These challenges resulted in noticeable differences between KT services in developed and developing countries. The coping strategies can be summarized in two main mechanisms: The first mechanism is maximizing the available resources by increasing the rates of living kidney donation, promoting the expertise of medical personnel, reducing material consumption, and supporting the establishment and maintenance of KT programs. The latter warrants the expansion of the public sector and the elimination of non-ethical KT practices. The second mechanism is recruiting external resources, including financial, experience, and training agreements.

Practical training of highly qualified personnel is one of the main components of scientifi c support for animal husbandry of Russia

The purpose of the work was to provide an analysis of the practical training of highly qualifi ed personnel as one of the main components of scientific support for animal husbandry in Russia. Some issues of increasing the efficiency of scientific support for the agro-industrial complex of our country, especially animal husbandry have been discussed in the article. The authors note that the productive force of the livestock economy of the Russian Federation is highly qualified personnel selected for training in secondary specialized and higher educational institutions due to their interest in obtaining qualifications in the field of livestock husbandry from school and further improving their practical training in colleges and universities. The main unresolved problem of the present time to improve the quality of training of students to acquire practical skills in working with animals is the lack of educational and experimental farms staff ed with groups of all types and breeds of animals with elements of feed production, feed making, feeding, mechanization, as well as processing of the resulting products. Educational and training farms of universities and experimental farms of research institutes are one of the effective and efficient opportunities not only for practical training of personnel, but also for scientists to carry out experimental research at a high scientific and methodological level. Thus, the targeted selection of future students to colleges and universities from school, under the order of heads of various categories of farms and tireless monitoring of the process of their education, especially practical training and retraining in educational institutions of universities and colleges, timely testing of residual knowledge in the disciplines necessary for further professional the graduate’s activities will contribute to the production of highly professional personnel and their effective work in production, in the educational or research process, as well as the acceleration of scientific support for animal husbandry in the Russian Federation.

DEI-02. DIRECT PATIENT OUTREACH IN PEDIATRIC NEURO-ONCOLOGY TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO GENOMIC PROFILING – THE MAKE-AN-IMPACT PROGRAM

Abstract BACKGROUND Genomic profiling and precision medicine have revolutionized cancer care but are not accessible to all due to high costs, insurance issues, limited access to testing facilities or qualified personnel. We established a program providing free clinical genomic testing worldwide (Make-An-IMPACT) and report findings from the pediatric CNS tumor cohort. METHODS Following a referral from: (1) a physician, (2) a disease-specific advocacy group, or (3) submission of contact information through program website, patients were enrolled on an IRB-approved protocol (NCT01775072). CSF cell free DNA (cfDNA) and matched normal samples were analyzed using MSK-IMPACTTM, a New York State Department of Health authorized hybridization capture-based next-generation panel DNA sequencing clinical assay. If a driver mutation wasn’t reported, raw genomic data was reviewed. OncoKBTM was used to determine the level of evidence supporting the clinical actionability of genomic aberrations. RESULTS 24 patients (median age 7.5; range 0.1-20 years) were enrolled; 9 (38%) from 5 non-US countries and 6 (25%) from non-NYC US sites. African American and Hispanics constituted 8% and 13% of the cohort. Potentially actionable alterations were identified in 4/24 (17%) cases; 2/24 (8%) subsequently received matched therapy. In unbiopsied or non-diagnostic cases, a disease defining alteration was identified in 8/15 (53.3%). BRAF-KIAA1549 fusions were identified in 2/3 DLGNT patients and 1p loss in all 3. Both patients with BRAF fused DLGNT started targeted therapy with Trametinib, one of whom achieved a durable treatment response for 2.5 years. 3/8 patients with unbiopsied brainstem lesions had a H3.3K27M mutation, while 2 had non-H3.3K27M mutations detected (1 SMARCB1 deletion, 1 IDHR172G mutation) leading to treatment regimen changes. CONCLUSIONS This study captured a broad range of pediatric CNS malignancies with a diverse patient representation across geographic regions. CSF cfDNA profiling provided important diagnostic and therapeutic information reported in real time to patients and local physicians.

Leadership for quality 4.0: development and validation of a multidimensional measure

Successful implementation of Quality 4.0 (Q4.0) requires leadership, but the understanding of such leadership among scholars and practitioners is insufficient. The purpose of this paper is to explore a leadership scale to provide insights. This study develops the scale via 3 independent samples of quality personnel according to Hinkin's recommended scale development process. Exploratory factor analysis sheds light on the tri-dimensional structure of the scale, which comprises task-oriented, change-oriented, and relations-oriented behaviours. The results are affirmed by confirmatory factor analysis, which also demonstrates satisfactory reliability and construct validity. To further explore the predictive validity of leadership and delve deeper into its mechanics, based on the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model, this study identifies connectivity and challenge stressors as keys to the ‘Black Box’ of the relationship between leadership and thriving at work. Structural equation modelling suggests that leadership has a positive influence on thriving at work, connectivity, and challenge stressors. Connectivity and challenge stressors mediate the relationship between leadership and thriving at work. The Q4.0 leadership scale can be used as a guideline for organisations embracing Q4.0 to select and appoint managers, as well as for quality leaders to evaluate and improve themselves.

Development of a Smartwatch with Gas and Environmental Sensors for Air Quality Monitoring.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in developing portable and personal devices for measuring air quality and surrounding pollutants, partly due to the need for ventilation in the aftermath of COVID-19 situation. Moreover, the monitoring of hazardous chemical agents is a focus for ensuring compliance with safety standards and is an indispensable component in safeguarding human welfare. Air quality measurement is conducted by public institutions with high precision but costly equipment, which requires constant calibration and maintenance by highly qualified personnel for its proper operation. Such devices, used as reference stations, have a low spatial resolution since, due to their high cost, they are usually located in a few fixed places in the city or region to be studied. However, they also have a low temporal resolution, providing few samples per hour. To overcome these drawbacks and to provide people with personalized and up-to-date air quality information, a personal device (smartwatch) based on MEMS gas sensors has been developed. The methodology followed to validate the performance of the prototype was as follows: firstly, the detection capability was tested by measuring carbon dioxide and methane at different concentrations, resulting in low detection limits; secondly, several experiments were performed to test the discrimination capability against gases such as toluene, xylene, and ethylbenzene. principal component analysis of the data showed good separation and discrimination between the gases measured.
