Клинические аспекты медико-социальной экспертизы при туберкулезе у взрослых

The epidemiological situation with tuberculosis in the Russian Federation in the current socioeconomic conditions continues to be quite tense. In addition to all kinds of introductions from practicing physicians to combat tuberculosis, a significant contribution comes from the activities of administrative bodies aimed at creating and implementing new draft laws on disability related to tuberculosis, including methods of social expertise and safety, various support measures for disabled citizens, and methods of rehabilitation for persons with a disability group assigned. All persons with tuberculosis are guaranteed the right to a medical and social expert evaluation. In connection with the release of the new order, there are actual data, which require attention not only of social security workers, but also of medical personnel. P u r p o s e : to reveal actual aspects of medical and social examination for tuberculosis in adults. Methods. Regulatory documents on social security of population were analyzed and the main reasons influencing the expert evaluation and decision of commission for medical and social protection in tuberculosis in adult stratum of population were singled out. R e s u l t s a n d d i s c u s s i o n . As of January 1, 2020, Order No. 585n of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation of August 27, 2019, came into force. “On the classifications and criteria used in the implementation of medical and social expert assessment of citizens by federal state medical and social expert assessment institutions. The expert evaluation for tuberculosis is based on an analysis of the totality of persistent impairments of body functions, containing significant clinical components, due to the pathological process and the severity of restrictions to vital functions, which are affected by the localization and prevalence of the specific process, the degree of activity, MBT sensitivity to antituberculosis drugs, the nature of complications and the possibilities of surgical treatment. Presence or absence of mycobacterial discharge in a patient is one of the major criteria of therapy efficacy and favorable prognosis. C o n c l u s i o n . The medical and social expert evaluation is an important component in the evaluation of a person’s state of health, in the assignment of a disability group, and in the analysis of the leading medical criteria, which characterize the degree of restriction of vital functions. The aspect of reviewing normative-legal acts concerns not only employees of social protection, but also acting clinicians for a better understanding of all the socio-economic consequences assigned when making this or that diagnosis. Disability of the population due to tuberculosis remains a relevant area of analysis, requiring attention from both a clinical and legal perspective.

The structure of the primary and repeated disability of the adult population of the Saratov region due to diseases caused by HIV infection for the period 2014–2020

The HIV epidemic in Russia and in the Saratov region continues to spread. With the increase in the number of HIV-infected and AIDS patients, the problem of disability of the population due to diseases caused by HIV infection is becoming more and more urgent and acquires high medical and socio-economic importance. Based on this, there is a need to develop ways to solve it, taking into account the determination of the composition of this contingent. To study the indicators of the level of disability due to diseases caused by HIV infection in the Saratov region, to determine the trends in the formation of primary and repeated disability of the population, the characteristics of the contingent by disability groups. Solid research method. The object of the study was residents of the Saratov region at the age of 18, who were initially recognized as disabled due to diseases caused by HIV infection, and were examined repeatedly in the medical and social expert bureau for the period 2014–2020. The statistical database of the state information system «Federal Register of Disabled Persons» was studied by the method of comparative analysis. When analyzing the certificates of examination of the disabled in the medical and social expert bureau for the designated period, it was found that the primary disability due to diseases caused by HIV infection in the region was recognized in 904 patients and repeated in 872 people. The number of citizens recognized as disabled for the first time (hereinafter VPI), as well as re-recognized as disabled (hereinafter PPI) due to diseases caused by HIV infection, had a tendency to increase with the predominance of people with disabilities of group II among the young. The lowest percentage in the structure of primary and repeated disability were disabled people of retirement age. The share of rural residents among the VPI for the analyzed period tended to decrease by more than 2 times.

The Impact of Self-Serving Bias on Selection of Stocks by Retail Investors in Equity Market: A Study of the Urban Middle Class of India

The field of standard finance states that an equity market investor acts as a judicious individual who is capable of dealing with all forms of data in a fair-minded way. On the other hand, the rapidly evolving field of behavioral finance relies upon true experience expressing that any and every equity market investor has his own set of inclinations which most of the times are unreasonable. Thus, feelings and behaviour have assumed a significant position in the sort of investment decisions embraced by equity market investors. For quite a long time, financial therapists and social experts have stood up in opposition to the principles of standard finance and managerial economics, contending that individuals do not behave logically every time and it is asking for way too much to expect investors to become utility-expanding players in a market which is not efficient in reality. The area of knowledge called as behavioural finance emerged in the early stages of 1970s in order to resolve such matters and collect a broad number of instances when individuals deliberately act "unreasonably."

Enterprise Marketing Strategy and Path under the Background of Double Cycle

At present, the international and domestic situations have undergone profound and complex changes, the world economic growth is sluggish, and the global governance problems are prominent. In the face of uncertainties in globalization and the driving structure of China's economic growth gradually shifting from foreign trade and investment to domestic demand and consumption, the urgency of the modern industrial system to be independent and controllable has been further strengthened. On May 14, 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, pointing out for the first time that we should deepen supply-side structural reform, give full play to the advantages of China's super-large market and the potential of domestic demand, and build a new development pattern in which domestic and international cycles promote each other. On August 24th, in the economy social experts symposium, Xi Jinping stressed that adhere to the supply side structural reform, seize the strategic basis, production, distribution, circulation, consumption more relying on the domestic market, namely the domestic cycle as the main body, but the new pattern is not closed domestic cycle, but open domestic and international double cycle. In the face of the new economic development pattern, the marketing strategy of enterprises also needs to be changed to adapt to the needs of the international and domestic markets. This paper mainly studies and puts forward the purpose of the new development pattern, as well as the marketing strategy and path of enterprises under the background of double cycle.

Individual remarks on serious bodily harm

The facts of infliction of severe and moderate bodily injuries and the practice of forensic examination show that the consequence of criminally unlawful encroachment on the health of victims in many cases is a health disorder associated with permanent disability. Forensic examination faces legal uncertainty in establishing such consequences. The Rules of Forensic Medical Determination of the Severity of Bodily Injuries, approved by the Order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine № 6 of January 17, 1995, paragraph 2.1.6 stipulates that a health disorder is a consistently developed painful process directly related to the injury. Furthermore, these Rules indicate that the amount of permanent (permanent) loss of general ability to work in case of injuries is determined after the consequences of the damage, based on objective data, taking into account the documents guided by the medical and social expert commission. However, today the Order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine 05.06.2012 № 420 regulates the Procedure and Criteria for establishing medical and social expert commissions the degree of permanent disability in the percentage of employees who suffered health damage related to work. At the same time, the Criminal Code of Ukraine calls a sign of severe bodily injuries a health disorder combined with permanent disability of at least one third, moderate severity of injuries – long-term health disorder or significant permanent disability of less than one third, mild bodily injuries – short-term health disorders or minor disability. In other words, the Criminal Code of Ukraine does not indicate either general or professional capacity for work. The existence of legal uncertainty is stated, which calls into question the conclusions of the forensic medical examination. The results made it possible to identify gaps in the regulation of the order of establishment of health disorders, combined with permanent loss of general ability to work, as a characteristic feature of severe bodily injury. Ways have been found to further improve the procedure for conducting expert research on health disorders, combined with permanent loss of general ability to work, as a characteristic feature of bodily injury, which will help to avoid errors in forensic and judicial practice.

Mechanism of administrative and legal regulation of medical and social examination

The article examines the mechanism of administrative and legal regulation of medical and social expertise, its concept and essence are clarified. The structure and mechanism of administrative and legal regulation of medical and social expertise is defined, its general (main) elements are characterized, which include: 1) administrative and legal norms; 2) administrative and legal relations; 3) acts of application and implementation of administrative and legal norms. It has been updated that the mechanism of administrative and legal regulation, including MSE, is a means of practical implementation of the regulatory influence of public administration subjects on social relations and, at the same time, a complex phenomenon that deserves the attention of representatives of the scientific and legal community. It is indicated that the main legislative act in the MSE system is the Law of Ukraine «On the Rehabilitation of Persons with Disabilities in Ukraineя» dated 06.10.2005 No. 2961-IV, which provides for the definition of the concept of «medical and social examination» (Article 1) and generally regulates the procedure for organizing and conducting the International Trade Fair (Article 7). It has been updated that the mechanism of administrative and legal regulation, including MSE, is a means of practical implementation of the regulatory influence of public administration subjects on social relations and, at the same time, a complex phenomenon that deserves the attention of representatives of the scientific and legal community. It is indicated that the main legislative act in the MSE system is the Law of Ukraine «On the Rehabilitation of Persons with Disabilities in Ukraine» dated 06.10.2005 No. 2961-IV, which provides for the definition of the concept of «medical and social examination» (Article 1) and generally regulates the procedure for organizing and conducting the International Trade Fair (Article 7). Attention is focused on the rule-making activity of a specialized subject of public administration – the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, which carries out legal regulation of MSE by issuing special orders, as an example of the order «On approval of the forms of the individual rehabilitation program of a disabled person, a disabled child and the procedure for their preparation» dated October 8, 2007 No. 623, «On the approval of the Instructions on establishing disability groups» dated September 5, 2011, No. 561, «On the approval of the Procedure and Criteria for establishing by medical and social expert commissions the degree of permanent loss of professional capacity as a percentage for employees who have suffered health damage, related to the performance of labor duties» dated 06/05/2012 No. 420, «On approval of forms of primary accounting documentation used in medical and social expert commissions» dated 07/30/2012 No. 577. It is proposed to divide administrative and legal norms as the main element of the mechanism of administrative and legal regulation of medical and social expertise into basic and special (concretizing) ones, and subjects of public administration as a mandatory party of administrative and legal relations that are formed on the occasion of providing (receiving) of medical and social expert services, - to subjects of public-authority powers and subjects of public-service (non-authority) powers.

Challenges faced by teaching staff during virtual learning Coronavirus Disease 2019: A narrative review

The worldwide economy has been severely damaged by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak. The education system is not shielded from the harmful impacts of lockdown, especially in South Asia. Schools and institutions have been forced to close permanently as a result, and traditional classroom instruction is being quickly replaced by online learning. This study is topical in that it explores teachers’ perceptions of online instruction and the difficulties they face when doing so during the pandemic in light of recent developments. A search of electronic databases with a specific goal in mind to find literature; a quest for reliable summaries, various sources, including books, have detailed conceptual and theoretical studies, handbooks, and gray literature; we took a look at what social experts have been working to discover the parameters that allow challenges faced by teaching staff during virtual learning. A literature search was done systematically of various journal indexes such as PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, and others. The study’s findings demonstrate that, on average, teachers believe virtual education is a smart option for reducing the learning gap and shaping students’ futures during the crisis, during COVID-19. Despite this, they ran into a number of roadblocks and other issues. The educational institution’s management should provide sufficient training on learning software to teachers, allowing them to successfully instruct and lead students.

History of Human Science Laboratories

ABSTRACT This article examines the historical transformations and contemporary state of affairs with human science laboratories. Humanitarian laboratories are explained in the form of social networks and interactive venues where social experts and practitioners encounter together in order to construct and exchange common senses. The laboratory gets an explanation by taking into account uniqueness of human sciences, differences in modes of knowledge production, and understanding social technologies as nonmaterial entities (not ‘artefacts’ as in STS). Inside natural sciences, the laboratory serves for experimentation and purposeful intervention into nature by empirical scholars equipped with technical devices, including cognitive, semiotic, and discursive tools. The laboratory in human sciences exists as an institutional locus for empirical investigation, social experimentation and professional, skilled communications. The exchange of information flows between cognitive and practical actors, measuring common viewpoints, accumulating behavioral data, explaining social situations, and setting rational policy for them. The morphology and progressive advancements of human science laboratories (in past and present) frame the scope of research. Conforming to its main idea, the laboratory is perceived as a vehicle for human progress. Usually, it is a professional organization aiming to synthesize theoretical, empirical, and applied knowledge with social activism in the light of incoming demands.

A collaborative clinical case conference model for teaching social and behavioral science in medicine: an action research study

BackgroundEffective social and behavioral sciences teaching in medical education requires integration with clinical experience, as well as collaboration between social and behavioral sciences experts and clinical faculty. However, teaching models for achieving this integration have not been adequately established, nor has the collaboration process been described. This study aims to propose a collaborative clinical case conference model to integrate social and behavioral sciences and clinical experience. Additionally, we describe how social and behavioral science experts and clinical faculty collaborate during the development of the teaching method.MethodsA team of medical teachers and medical anthropologists planned for the development of a case conference based on action research methodology. The initial model was planned for a 3-h session, similar to a Clinicopathological Conference (CPC) structure. We evaluated each session based on field notes taken by medical anthropologists and post-session questionnaires that surveyed participants’ reactions and points of improvement. Based on the evaluation, a reflective meeting was held to discuss revisions for the next trial. We incorporated the development process into undergraduate medical curricula in clinical years and in a postgraduate and continuous professional development session for residents and certified family physicians in Japan. We repeated the plan-act-observe-reflection process more than 15 times between 2015 and 2018.ResultsThe development of the collaborative clinical case conference model is summarized in three phases: Quasi-CPC, Interactive, and Co-constructive with unique structures and underlying paradigms. The model successfully contributed to promoting the participants’ recognition of the clinical significance of social and behavioral sciences. The case preparation entailed unique and significant learning of how social and behavioral sciences inform clinical practice. The model development process promoted the mutual understanding between clinical faculty and anthropologists, which might function as faculty development for teachers involved in social and behavioral sciences teaching in medical education.ConclusionsThe application of appropriate conference models and awareness of their underlying paradigms according to educational situations promotes the integration of social and behavioral sciences with clinical medicine education. Faculty development regarding social and behavioral sciences in medical education should focus on collaboration with scholars with different paradigmatic orientations.

Reframing organizations in the digital age: A qualitative study exploring institutional social media adoption

Background: Social media is changing the modern academic landscape; this study sought to explore how organizational structures support or inhibit the harnessing of social media use in academic contexts and knowledge translation. Methods: A qualitative study was conducted using framework analysis based on the Bolman and Deal’s Four-Frame Model—structural, human resources, political and symbolic. The research team used the snowball sampling technique to recruit participants following the completion of each participant’s semi-structured interview. A member check was completed to ensure rigour. Results: 16 social media educators and experts from several countries participated in the study. Study findings showed that within the Structural Frame, institution types were reported to have with diverse hierarchical structures, ranging from strict to malleable: hospital-based (strict), education institutional-based and online only groups (malleable). The Human Resources Frame revealed that most participants’ social media organizations operated on unpaid volunteer staff. The training of these staff was primarily via role-modeling and mentorship. Regarding the Political Frame, social media helped participants accumulate scholarly currency and influence within their field of practice. Symbolic Frame showed a wide range of traditional to non-traditional organizational supports, which interacted with both intrinsic to extrinsic motivation. Conclusions: Bolman and Deal’s Four-Frame Model framework may serve as an effective guideline for academic leaders who wish to strategically implement or enhance social media use into their organizations. The key insights that we have gained from our participants are how new emerging forms of scholarly pursuits can be more effectively enabled or hindered by the attributes of the organization within which these are occurring.

A systematic review on privacy-preserving distributed data mining

Combining and analysing sensitive data from multiple sources offers considerable potential for knowledge discovery. However, there are a number of issues that pose problems for such analyses, including technical barriers, privacy restrictions, security concerns, and trust issues. Privacy-preserving distributed data mining techniques (PPDDM) aim to overcome these challenges by extracting knowledge from partitioned data while minimizing the release of sensitive information. This paper reports the results and findings of a systematic review of PPDDM techniques from 231 scientific articles published in the past 20 years. We summarize the state of the art, compare the problems they address, and identify the outstanding challenges in the field. This review identifies the consequence of the lack of standard criteria to evaluate new PPDDM methods and proposes comprehensive evaluation criteria with 10 key factors. We discuss the ambiguous definitions of privacy and confusion between privacy and security in the field, and provide suggestions of how to make a clear and applicable privacy description for new PPDDM techniques. The findings from our review enhance the understanding of the challenges of applying theoretical PPDDM methods to real-life use cases, and the importance of involving legal-ethical and social experts in implementing PPDDM methods. This comprehensive review will serve as a helpful guide to past research and future opportunities in the area of PPDDM.

Tasawuf dalam Perspektif Sejarah Ibn Khaldun

Sufism is a spiritual philosophy based on morals and intuition. It has affected the daily lives of Muslims and their behaviours as well. Actually, Sufism itself since its development has changed in terms of values, since it involves other knowledge which influences the purity of its teachings. To study the concept of Sufism and the history of its development, maintaining the purity of Sufism and returning it to the original teachings of tassawuf is needed especially in regards to Ibn Khaldun’s views since he is one of the scholars who emphasises the discussion and study of Sufism seriously and comprehensively. It can be seen by his objective in evaluating Sufism and producing the point of view to Sufism. Even as a historian and social expert, he also discusses the questions of Sufism from the root of the problem and its impact on the social life of Muslims. This study aims to analyse Ibn Khaldun’s views on the reality of Sufism and the history of its development with special reference to Syif ā al-S ā il wa Ta ḥ dz ī b al-Mas ā l. To achieve these objectives, the library research method incorporating data collection and data analysis was used. Data analysis was done inductively and deductively. The results of the study have shown that Ibn Khaldun puts his own definition of Sufism comprehensively which is known as Mujahadah. The concept of mujahadah , according to him runs parallel to the history of the knowledge development and practices of Sufism. It began with mujahadah of taqw a , known among the early Sufis as zuh u d and wara‘. Furthermore, mujahadah istiq a mah and kashf are known as ladun ī or Sufism.

Интоксикации ртутью в бытовых и производственных условиях

Ртуть — жидкий серебристо-белый тяжелый металл. Ртуть принадлежит к промышленным ядам первого класса опасности. В организм ртуть проникает в основном через органы дыхания, реже — через кожу. Эти пути ее поступления в организм вызывают интоксикации. Возможно также попадание ее и через органы пищеварения. В этом случае интоксикация не развивается. Выделяется ртуть с мочой, калом, потом, слюной и молоком матери во время лактации. Ртуть принадлежит к группе тиоловых ядов и блокирует сульфгидрильные группы белковых соединений. Ртуть нарушает белковый обмен и ход ферментативных процессов. Все это приводит к глубоким нарушениям в функционировании центральной нервной системы, особенно ее высших отделов. Различают острые и хронические формы интоксикации ртутью. Острая интоксикация развивается бурно. В развитии хронической интоксикации выделяют три стадии: начальную (функциональную), умеренно выраженных изменений и выраженную. Диагноз основывается на типичной клинической картине, данных профессионального анамнеза и санитарно-гигиенической характеристике условий труда. Подтверждением диагноза является наличие ртути в моче при клинических признаках интоксикации. Наиболее эффективным антидотом при интоксикациях, вызванных ртутью, является унитиол. Эффективны также натрия тиосульфат и сукцимер. На начальной стадии интоксикации рекомендуется временное, на 1–2 месяца, прекращение контакта с ртутью и другими токсичными веществами. Проводится соответствующее лечение. При улучшении состояния рабочий может возвратиться к предыдущей работе при условии тщательного врачебного наблюдения за состоянием его здоровья. В выраженной стадии интоксикации дальнейшая работа в условиях влияния ртути противопоказана. Больному требуется перевод на работу, которая не связана с влиянием любых токсичных веществ. Его направляют на медико-социальную экспертную комиссию для установления степени потери трудоспособности. Главная задача профилактики интоксикаций, вызванных ртутью, состоит в замене ртути менее вредными веществами, снижении концентрации ее паров в воздухе рабочей зоны. Проводятся автоматизация и герметизация производственных процессов. Помещения, в которых выполняются работы с ртутью, должны быть оборудованы непроницаемыми для ртути стенами и полом и обеспечены эффективной вентиляцией. Лица, которые работают с ртутью, обеспечиваются специальной одеждой из плотной ткани. Проводятся предварительные и периодические медицинские осмотры.

The Light and Shadow Brought to Teacher Education by Digitizing the Educational Environment: The Case of Japan

In this paper, the trends and issues of teacher education research and practices in Japan are clarified from the viewpoint of the digitization of the educational environment. This will be achieved through a review of the literature and policy documents on recent educational practices and teacher education. Firstly, Japanese teacher education and the ICT environment in schools are summarized. In addition, the Japanese concept of “teachers who continue to learn” and its multidimensional character is explained. Secondly, a model of the above idea that consists of five dimensions is introduced: (1) social navigators, (2) technical experts, (3) inquiry practitioners, (4) critical practitioners, and (5) members of professional learning communities. Thirdly, through the review, it is pointed out that all of them are affected by the digitization of the educational environment, which has been accelerated as a countermeasure to COVID-19. In conclusion, it is stated that the digitization of the educational environment and its accelerated progress casts both light and shadow on the role of Japanese teachers as reflective practitioners. Additionally, it is referenced that there are many differences among schools and regions on the ratio of light and shadow in Japan, even though it is geographically small.

Региональные особенности медико-демографических показателей здоровья населения Белгородской области (на примере болезней органов пищеварения за период 2000–2017 гг.)

Introduction . In 1990–2017, the size of population in the Belgorod Region increased by 10.9 % only as a result migration. Negative medical and demographic trends characterized by population decline caused by a decreased birth rate, increased mortality and disease incidence rates, and population aging were registered at that time. The level of primary disability due to digestive diseases dropped significantly; yet, young and middle-aged people and disability grades II and III began to prevail among primary disability cases. Our objective was to study regional characteristics of the medical and demographic situation in the Belgorod Region from the point of view of medical and social expert examination. Materials and methods . We analyzed data of the Federal Service for State Statistics (Rosstat) and its Belgorod Department (Belgorodstat), and the database of the unified automated vertically integrated information and analytical system (EAVI-IAS) of medical and social expertise for persons with primary disability caused by digestive disorders in the Belgorod Region in 2000–2017. We processed anonymized computerized data entered by the bureau’s medical staff. Ethical and legal principles were not violated when working with medical records. The study was carried out by a continuous method. We applied analytical, analytical graphics, and statistical (t-test, z-test, F-test) methods to data collection and processing. Digital data were processed using an IBM PC IntelCore i5-2500K and StatSoftStatistica 12.5 software package. Results . Despite the population growth resulting from migration, we observed worsening of regional medical and demographic indices in 2010–2017. Although the incidence rates of all diseases of the digestive system decreased, the rates of incidence and mortality from diseases of the pancreas and liver rose significantly. The average age at death from diseases of the pancreas and liver indicated premature mortality. In the structure of primary disability caused by digestive disorders, diseases of the liver and pancreas ranked highest. Conclusion . Population decline, rising digestive disease and related mortality rates dictate the need for in-depth study and practical solution of the problems of health improvement, disease prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of patients and individuals with disability due to this pathology in order to reduce premature mortality and improve the demographic situation in the region.
