In-Depth Examination of the Functionality and Performance of the Internet Hospital Information Platform: Development and Usability Study.

Internet hospitals (IHs) have rapidly developed as a promising strategy to address supply-demand imbalances in China's medical industry, with their capabilities directly dependent on information platform functionality. Furthermore, a novel theory of "Trinity" smart hospital has provided advanced guidelines on IH constructions. This study aimed to explore the construction experience, construction models, and development prospects based on operational data from IHs. Based on existing information systems and internet service functionalities, our hospital has built a "Smart Hospital Internet Information Platform (SHIIP)" for IH operations, actively to expand online services, digitalize traditional health care, and explore health care services modes throughout the entire process and lifecycle. This article encompasses the platform architecture design, technological applications, patient service content and processes, health care professional support features, administrative management tools, and associated operational data. Our platform has presented a set of data, including 82,279,669 visits, 420,120 online medical consultations, 124,422 electronic prescriptions, 92,285 medication deliveries, 6,965,566 prediagnosis triages, 4,995,824 offline outpatient appointments, 2025 medical education articles with a total of 15,148,310 views, and so on. These data demonstrate the significant role of IH as an indispensable component of our physical hospital services, with deep integration between online and offline health care systems. The upward trends in various data metrics indicate that our IH has gained significant recognition and usage among both the public and healthcare workers, and may have promising development prospects. Additionally, the platform construction approach, which prioritizes comprehensive service digitization and the 'Trinity' of the public, healthcare workers, and managers, serves as an effective means of promoting the development of Internet Hospitals. Such insights may prove invaluable in guiding the development of IH and facilitating the continued evolution of the Internet healthcare sector.

Motivating Medical Students: Adaptation of the Academic Motivation Scale within the Framework of the Self-Determination Theory

Introduction: Motivation plays a crucial role in the academic success and professional development of medical students. Understanding the intricacies of motivation within the context of medical education is essential for designing effective interventions and support systems. The aim of this study was to explore the adaptation of the Academic Motivation Scale within the framework of the self-determination theory and of the self-efficacy theory to assess motivation among medical students.Methods: The study adapted the Academic Motivation Scale to the Portuguese context, drawing upon insights from the self-determination theory. Two existing Portuguese scales, MATAMS and Ribeiro et al scale, served as foundational frameworks for the adaptation process. The study included qualitative interviews, which informed the creation of the Minho Medical Academic Motivation Scale – Minho-MEDAMS. This scale was applied to 281 medical students. To assess the scale’s validity, we used the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, and the Cronbach’s alpha to measure internal consistency.Results: The exploratory factor analysis showed strong results with a KMO of 0.862, leading to five factors and the removal of two items. The initial confirmatory factor analysis indicated poor fit, prompting the removal of items with low R-squared values. The final Minho-MEDAMS includes 18 items: six for intrinsic motivation, nine for extrinsic motivation and three for amotivation. This refined scale demonstrates high internal consistency (α = 0.831), making it a reliable tool for assessing medical students’ motivation.Conclusion: The successful adaptation of the Academic Motivation Scale within the self-determination theory framework presents a valuable instrument for assessing motivation in medical students. The Minho-MEDAMS offers a comprehensive understanding of motivational dynamics, facilitating targeted interventions and support mechanisms to enhance student engagement and success. Its validity and reliability render it a practical tool for educators, administrators, and researchers in the field of medical education. Ultimately, the Minho-MEDAMS contributes to the advancement of strategies aimed at cultivating motivated and proficient healthcare professionals.

Delirium and Cognitive Screening in National Hip Fracture Registries: Scoping Review Protocol

Background Delirium and cognitive impairment are common in hip fracture populations and are associated with significant adverse patient outcomes. National hip fracture registries facilitate improvements in patient outcomes and care quality, such as reduced mortality and the development of specialist multidisciplinary services. However, there is substantial variation in the data collected and reported in relation to delirium and cognition, which impedes international comparison and may reduce quality of care. Objective This scoping review aims to identify delirium and cognition data items currently collected by hip fracture registries internationally, to identify associated registry guidance that exists for the administration of delirium and cognitive screening tools, and report outcomes of these data items across the most recently published annual reports of identified hip fracture registries. Methods This scoping review will be conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). We will search the following databases: Medline Ovid; Embase; CINAHL EBSCOHost. Relevant websites such as the Fragility Fracture Network (FFN) will also be searched. Study selection and review will be carried out independently by two researchers, with discrepancies resolved by a third researcher. Data extraction and synthesis will be conducted by one reviewer and checked for accuracy and omissions by another. The scoping review findings will be informed and validated through engagement with the FFN Hip Fracture Audit Special Interest Group. Conclusion By identifying existing heterogeneity in delirium and cognitive screening tool use and administration, it is hoped that administration and specific screening tool use will become standardised to optimise comparability across countries and ensure that high quality and reliable data are included across international registry reports.

Development of micromodels for improvements in driving safety using as a case study a university campus in Panama

This research focuses on addressing critical driving safety issues on university campuses, particularly vehicular congestion, inadequate parking, and hazards arising from the interaction between vehicles and pedestrians. These challenges are common across campuses and demand effective solutions to ensure safe and efficient mobility. To address these issues, the study developed detailed microsimulation models tailored to the Victor Levi Sasso campus of the Technological University of Panama. The primary function of these models is to evaluate the effectiveness of various safety interventions, such as speed reducers and parking reorganization, by simulating their impact on traffic flow and accident risk. The models provide calculations of traffic parameters, including speed and travel time, under different safety scenarios, allowing for a comprehensive assessment of potential improvements. The results demonstrate that the proposed measures significantly enhance safety and traffic efficiency, proving the model’s effectiveness in optimizing campus mobility. Although the model is designed to tackle specific safety concerns, it also offers broader applicability for addressing general driving safety issues on university campuses. This versatility makes it a valuable tool for campus planners and administrators seeking to create safer and more efficient traffic environments. Future research could expand the model’s application to include a wider range of safety concerns, further enhancing its utility in promoting safer campus mobility.

How policy satisfaction affects residents’ low-carbon behavior: the mediating role of place attachment

ABSTRACT Policy interventions can effectively promote the public’s low-carbon behaviors (LCBs), provided the public already understands and perceives the policy. The extent to which the public gets to know the policy is easily overlooked in relevant studies. Based on a survey conducted in Hangzhou, China, this paper compares the residents’ satisfaction with the policies promoting LCBs. Furthermore, the impact of different levels of policy satisfaction on the willingness to engage in LCBs with place attachment as a mediator is also investigated. The results show that respondents’ policy satisfaction is moderately high, with female respondents (3.479) slightly higher than males (3.430). The policy satisfaction, from high to low, is administrative regulations (3.515), technical interventions (3.463), information tools (3.457), and economic incentives (3.384). Policy satisfaction has a significant effect on willingness to engage in LCBs and place attachment, and place attachment has a positive effect on willingness to engage in LCBs. Place attachment plays a partial mediating role in the influence path of policy satisfaction on the willingness of LCBs. The study provides insights for policymakers on enhancing policy dissemination and engagement, particularly in the context of gender differences, and offers a comprehensive view of the dynamics driving sustainable behavior change in urban China.

State special transport service in the system of subjects of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine: directions of influence and the role of public administration for their implementation

It was emphasized that in the conditions of ongoing Russian aggression, the issue of effective and stable functioning of the system of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has become important. It is noted that such an intention is possible only thanks to the systematically effective work of all subjects of this system. The exceptional role of the State Special Service of Transport in this aspect is emphasized, given the subject orientation of the latter. We are talking about the transport component, which is one of the basic prerequisites for the successful implementation of the lion’s share of measures by subjects not only of the ministry system, but also of the entire security and defense sector. The position of the State Special Service of Transport as a subject of public-legal relations at the current stage of law-making is highlighted in general outlines. It was found that it is appropriate to talk about an institution endowed with the status of a specialized military formation, which carries out a number of defense measures peculiar only to it. Despite its regulatory specifics, it is advisable to talk about a number of similar parameters, compared to the rest of the institutions. The essence of the directions of the analyzed body’s work, including under the current situation, is outlined and disclosed. Arguably, it is emphasized that such directions are derived from the functions of the institution, which the latter’s officials implement in practice. The legislator’s position on their gradation into two fundamental groups was supported and developed: 1) peacetime; 2) a special period. Based on this, the author’s vision of the quantitative and specific composition of the areas of work of the State Special Service of Transport is proposed, followed by their general characteristics. The problems of the importance of public administration tools in the framework of the implementation of management functions performed by this specialized military formation have been studied. It is emphasized that the presence of these tools is a prerequisite for the implementation of management steps. The above constitutes a critical and unalternative position from the point of view of the application of appropriate measures within the limits of one or another outlined direction. Based on the preliminary results, an attempt was made to determine the place of the State Special Transport Service in the structure of the Ministry of Defense system. Based on the competence of the institution, directions of influence and awareness of the role of the stability of the transport component, a well-argued assumption is made about the uniquely important role of this institution.

8765 Assessment of the Social Vulnerability Index of a 10-Year Retrospective Cohort of Youth with Prediabetes

Abstract Disclosure: D. Somerville: None. R.H. Kolagani, MHS: None. C.E. McCrory: None. S. Budakoti: None. V.M. Chinchilli, PhD: None. J. Joseph: None. D.E. Hale: None. N. Raja-Khan: None. L.P. Huerta Saenz: None. Background: The incidence of prediabetes (preD) is rising among youth in the US. While there are known metabolic risk factors linked to preD development, we were interested in exploring the role of social determinants of health (SDoH) in the development of pediatric preD. The social vulnerability index (SVI) is a tool developed by the CDC to stratify SDoH risk for communities based on 14 factors such socioeconomic status (SES), household composition, race and transportation access. By understanding the role of SVI in the development of preD in youth, we may be able to plan interventions to prevent progression to Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). Objective: Our study goal was to determine the relationship between SVI and preD in youth receiving care at our institution, a large pediatric referral center in Central Pennsylvania. Methods: We conducted a 10-year retrospective chart review of electronic medical records (EMRs) to identify children/youth aged 6-17 years old diagnosed with preD at our pediatric health system between 01/2010 and 01/2020. We used the American Diabetes Association definitions of preD (one or more sub-type): 1) Impaired fasting glucose (IFG), 2) Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), and 3) Elevated hemoglobin A1c (HA1C). ICD10 codes were used for initial chart identification (R73.01, R73.02, R73.03 and R73.09). The second phase of identification of youth with preD included the review of biological measures of glycemia of the initial identified charts to support the reported ICD10 diagnosis (either isolated subtypes or combinations). Social, demographic characteristics, and residence setting (urban vs. rural) were also investigated. SVI was assessed on a 0-1 scale, with high SVI (0.5-1) indicating greater social vulnerability and low SVI (0-0.49) indicating lower social vulnerability. Rurality was determined per the Health Resources and Services Administration Tool (HRSA). SAS frequencies were calculated. Fisher’s exact tests were applied to compare the frequencies of the aforementioned groups with respect to IFG, IGT, and HA1C. Results: We identified 2700 charts of youth with preD per ICD10 codes search, but only 552 had confirmed preD diagnosis supported by biological data registered in EMRs. The most common preD isolated subtype was HA1C (87.3%), while 12% and 4% had isolated IFG and IGT, respectively. Most youth had high SVI (66.9%) and only 5.8% were rural (p > 0.05). Neither SVI or rurality were associated with isolated preD subtypes, but 8.2% of low-SVI youth had composite [IFG +HA1C] subtypes compared to 3.5% of high-SVI youth (p=0.02). Conclusions: SVI was not significantly associated with any isolated preD subtype. However, youth with the combined preD subtypes [IFG + HA1C] had lower SVI. As T2D is more prevalent in youth from low SES, addressing SDoH at earlier stages of T2D (preD phase) is needed in the effort to prevent the progression of the disease. Presentation: 6/1/2024

Resource rents, ethnic fractionalization and redistributive public sector employment

The resource curse literature often posits that public employment in resource-rich economies tends to be large, driven by motivations beyond public goods provision. One set of theories attributes this phenomenon to (ethnic) clientelism, but lacks robust empirical support. Another set of theories challenges the notion of (ethnic) clientelism, suggesting that the expansion of public sector employment serves as a form of social insurance in the absence administrative tools to redistribute income. This study diverges from the conventional story of an invariably positive association between resource abundance and public sector employment. Instead, I show that the positive correlation between resource abundance and public sector employment only holds when ethnic fractionalization is low. In countries with high levels of ethnic fractionalization, the relationship weakens and can even reverse. This is because an increase in public sector employment tends to dilute public sector wages, diminishing the attractiveness of public sector jobs as clientelist rewards. The empirical analysis supports this claim: when ethnic fractionalization is low, more resource rents correspond to higher public sector employment and lower (or even negative) public sector wage premiums; when ethnic fractionalization is high, the opposite holds: more resource rents correspond to fewer public sector jobs but larger public sector wage premiums.

Circularity assessment in buildings and built environment: an integrated multiscale framework

Abstract Circular transition requires systematic interventions in the built environment, particularly at the urban level, to close resource loops locally. The adoption of a design-operational approach focused on the life-cycle perspective and circularity, in line with the Green Building Approach, at the same time responds to resource scarcity and cuts CO2 emissions in the regeneration and integration of urban settlements. In this view, the dimension of the urban neighbourhood offers an ideal field of experimentation to test and scale up circular strategies and solutions, starting from the building scale. The contribution reports the results of an ongoing research whose aim is to propose a methodology to identify basic characteristics and performances allowing a neighbourhood to be defined as circular, and to promote their spread through design both in regeneration and new construction. Thus, the research addresses an important gap due to the limited number of studies on circularity metrics at the neighbourhood scale. From a methodological point of view, the research analyses a selection of case studies and, in parallel, existing circularity metrics at different levels, systematizing them with a set of indicators coming from sustainability protocols at the neighbourhood scale. The research therefore defines an integrated multiscale framework supporting circular design and assessment, valid at the building level but also - in a multiscale perspective - at the neighbourhood level, aiming to develop a support tool for public administrations and designers.

Military Staff Study as a Tool for Language Policy Design: A Case of Establishing the RTN’s English Tests

A staff study (SS) is an administrative tool used for decision making which involves data gathering and analysis to determine the proper resolution to an issue. SS is also used in the areas of the military which are mostly assigned with classified information; as a result, resources regarding staff studies are still restricted or available in limited amounts. Furthermore, SS is rational and applicable in interdisciplinary academic fields; especially, in an area of policy design. This article proposes the value of such a study in education policy making through its application in the specific investigation of English testing development in the Royal Thai Navy (RTN). It articulated that a SS shares similar purpose to applied research in language education; yet, it is more focused on applying knowledge to problem solutions and circumstances. Though SS does not prepare to build or extend knowledge and expertise, its principle enacts a logical model guiding all existing context variables into the study. Thus, it can provide a thinking springboard for solving problems in language education. Finally, it can create a possible innovative way to deal with unique problems while further experimental process with the data analysis can justify research in language education.

THE CONCEPT OF THE FORMATION THE ELECTRONIC DEMOCRACY AS A TOOL OF REGIONAL PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

The article proposes a conceptual model of regional electronic democracy as a cognitive scheme for the analysis of this tool of local public administration in Ukraine. It is noted that the local levels of the implementation of electronic democracy are theoretically capable of demonstrating the greatest effectiveness of using this tool, as they are related to the immediate environment of everyday life of citizens and relate to solving urgent problems of community residents. The author emphasizes the predominant research interest in e-democracy at the national level and insufficient attention to regional features of e-democracy. The key role of digital participation in the formation and development of electronic democracy is argued. The author examines various scientific approaches to considering the forms and levels of public participation in regional public administration and supports the conclusion that there is a tendency to expand the meaningful characteristics of participation in administration and the arsenal of electronic tools for its implementation Using the analytical method and the method of theoretical generalization, the author analyzes the functioning of electronic democracy at the local level. For formulating her own concept, the author relies on the theoretical work of foreign e-democracy researchers, in particular, the concept of invited and invented public space and the classification of types of e-democracy. The model of regional e-democracy is defined as a set of types of electronic participation of the citizens in governance and e-democracy tools as electronic means of implementing this participation. Forms of participation and their corresponding e-tools are grouped into three blocks: transparent e-democracy, deliberative e-democracy and participatory e-democracy. The author draws attention to the heterogeneity of the public sphere as a place for the implementation of local electronic democracy and claims that the identification of the invented space as a place for the implementation of civil self-organization contributes to a deeper understanding of the modern processes of transformation of public administration under the influence of information and communication technologies. The importance of taking into account the social context and the possibilities of technological support for evaluating the effectiveness of the processes of local democracy is emphasized.

Relaciones entre la auditoría de gestión y toma de decisiones. Enfoque teórico

Companies need to obtain effective results in the management of their activities and operations. They are in a continuous process of change and evolution, immersed in an interrelated environment that provides crucial information. In this context, it is essential that they exercise control and be selective when making decisions about strategies to implement. The management audit is presented as a key administrative tool to support business decision-making, which highlights the need to have information that facilitates and enriches these investigations. Under this premise, it was proposed to analyze the theoretical foundations of management auditing and managerial decision making from the perspectives of the relevant theories. This analysis is crucial to understand and adequately represent the theoretical relationships between its convergent categories. The research focused on management auditing as a strategic tool for decision-making in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Ecuadorian banana sector. The study was developed with a qualitative approach and descriptive nature, using a logical documentary and historical method. To do this, it was supported by sources such as scientific journals and other studies related to the topic. The content and structure of the study reflect the dynamics of the various theoretical relationships found. In conclusion, an evident evolution of this discipline over time in organizational structures has been demonstrated. Theoretical relationships provide frameworks for evaluating and improving management and decision-making, but their applicability and effectiveness in a specific sector may vary. Furthermore, the derivations obtained can serve as a reference and contribute to scientific knowledge for future researchers interested in delving deeper into the topic.

This longitudinal study investigates the impact on long-term effectiveness of exercise prescriptions over one year follow-up, implementing telehealth tools for exercise administration and adherence monitoring. KTRs were evaluated with clinical assessments including body composition, blood and urinary parameters, physical performance and quality of life at baseline (T0), after six (T6) and twelve (T12) months. The adherence to prescribed exercise training was monitored via video call interviews until T6 when the sample was divided into a group monitored via wearables (WG) and a group continuing video calls (VG) until T12. Twenty-six KTRs completed the study. No changes in body composition and kidney function were reported. KTRs showed an improvement in lipid profile, systolic blood pressure, cardiorespiratory fitness and quality of life. WG showed no clinical differences compared to VG except for reported higher quality of life. A good adherence to the exercise prescription was obtained with both monitoring methods (232 vs 253 min/week). This study reinforces the inclusion exercise training for KTRs to enhance physical fitness and reduce cardiovascular risk factors. These results emphasize the role of telehealth monitoring methods as motivators for adherence to long-term exercise prescriptions.

Pojęcie nadzoru materialnego nad dobrostanem zwierząt

In the context of growing global awareness regarding animal protection and requirements for their treatment, administrative oversight of animal welfare is gaining importance as a key element in ensuring the proper functioning of the state and its institutions in enforcing administrative law norms. The article focuses on defining and discussing the objectives of administrative oversight in the context of animal welfare, highlighting its multidimensional nature, which serves not only to protect animal rights but also to maintain overall welfare standards. Through a review of existing positions in doctrine and jurisprudence, the author aims to define administrative oversight of animal welfare in the material aspect, considering preventive and reactive actions and the main goal, which is to improve living conditions for animals. In light of this perspective, he argues that effectively conducted administrative oversight can contribute to faster and more efficient improvement of living conditions for animals than traditional criminal proceedings. The considerations have both dogmatic and practical significance, emphasizing the role that administrative oversight can play in improving animal welfare. Highlighting the effectiveness of administrative tools in protecting animal rights contributes to the discussion on the superiority of these tools over penal legal measures, offering new perspectives on achieving better living standards for animals.
