BackgroundThe development plan of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been integrated into the national development strategy, with a focus on significantly enhancing the TCM service capabilities of primary care facilities. However, researches on the disease spectrum of TCM diagnosis and treatment in community health centers is lacking. ObjectiveTo understand the TCM diagnosis and treatment capabilities of Shenzhen's community health centers by analyzing the disease spectrum of TCM diagnosis and treatment among outpatients signed with family doctors at these centers. MethodsFrom May to June 2022, records of family doctor-signed residents who visited the outpatient departments of community health centers in 10 districts of Shenzhen from January 1, 2021, to June 30, 2021, and incurred diagnosis and treatment costs were extracted from the “Hangchuang Community Health Service Center Business System,” a unified information platform of the Shenzhen Health Commission. Records for which TCM was the purpose for the visit, which had corresponding diagnosis and treatment costs, as well as a primary diagnosis coded according to the “Classification and codes of diseases and patterns of traditional Chinese medicine” (TCD) were included in the study (n=385,138). The disease spectrum was analyzed based on the TCD, mainly involving specialty category, sub-specialty system classification and TCM term of disease and pattern. ResultsAmong the 385,138 records included, there were 170,077 male visits (44.16 %) with an average age of 37.5 ± 8.2 years; and 215,061 female visits (55.84 %), with an average age of 36.7 ± 9.4 years. The disease spectrum covered all seven specialty categories of TCD: internal medicine (219,445, 56.98 %), pediatrics (79,201, 20.56 %), otorhinolaryngology (47,965, 12.45 %), gynecology (30,620, 7.95 %), surgery (5,797, 1.51 %), orthopedics (1,407, 0.37 %), and ophthalmology (703, 0.18 %). The spectrum covered all sub-specialty system classifications under the seven specialty categories except for tumor diseases, cancer diseases in each specialty category, and certain eye disease classes such as diseases of the canthus, diseases of the cornea, pupil diseases, and traumatic eye diseases. In each specialty category, several diseases accounted for ≥90.00 % of the total diagnostic and treatment volume for that specialty category. The top five system diseases were respiratory system diseases (208,701, 54.19 %), musculoskeletal system diseases (73,369, 19.05 %), gynecological system diseases (30,620, 7.95 %), cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system diseases (27,539, 7.15 %), and digestive system diseases (19,162, 4.98 %). Patients under 15 and those aged 15 to 24 primarily had diseases related to the respiratory system and digestive systems. As age increased, the number of patients with paralysis, dizziness, headache, insomnia, and fatigue gradually increased; before the age of 45, the leading disease was the common cold, and after 45, it was muscle and joint pain caused by paralysis. ConclusionThe TCM diagnosis and treatment disease spectrum at Shenzhen's community health centers is broad but concentrated and singular, predominantly involving internal medicine. The disease spectrum is mainly concentrated in five major systems: respiratory, musculoskeletal, gynecological, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular, and digestive systems. There is a need to further enhance and expand the TCM diagnosis and treatment capabilities of community health centers to better meet the diverse health needs of residents.

Protection of Personal Data in Telemedicine

The protection of personal data in telemedicine in the context of current legislation and regulatory acts of the European Union is considered. Social relations in the field of use of personal data in telemedicine are studied, in particular, legal regulation of the use of personal data processed in health care information systems. In the information society, the right to health care and medical care is closely related to the right to access information. The right to access to information is a guarantee of the exercise of the right to health care and medical care, defines its content and contributes to equal access of every person to medical care. It is indicated that ensuring the balance of private and public interests in telemedicine requires differentiation of the conditions for processing personal health data. As an additional condition for the processing of personal data for specific purposes, it is proposed to provide for the consent of the subject of personal data to data processing with the right to refuse processing. Such purposes may include, in particular, the processing of electronic health records in the unified state health information system, the processing of depersonalized personal health data for research purposes. This approach contributes to the protection of public interests in health care and takes into account the autonomy of the will of the subject of personal data, his interests in the field of personal information security, corresponds to approaches to legal regulation in the European Union.

Institutional Transformation of Proactive Environmental Characteristics of State Procurement into Imperative Ones: The Regional Case

Ensuring sustainable economic development, environmental protection, and conservation of natural resources are the top priorities of the new edition of the "National Security Strategy of the Russian Federation". One key aspect highlighted in the strategy is the significance of green public procurement, which plays a crucial role in reducing the environmental impact of human activities and promoting environmentally responsible behavior among companies. The lack of established regulatory mechanisms and the ongoing debates surrounding the concept of "green procurement" have prompted the research objective of identifying the factors influencing the successful implementation of green public procurement through econometric modeling. The goal is to assess how well public contractors are currently implementing green procurement practices and to develop strategies to enhance their adherence to these practices by 2023, particularly within the Southern Federal District. An analysis of existing literature has revealed gaps in scientific knowledge, particularly in the realm of comparing the actualization of green economy institutions in regional strategies and monitoring the implementation of green procurement within the Southern Federal District. These research issues will guide the comparative assessment of green economy institutions, monitoring of green procurement practices, and structuring of data within the study. The study will rely on statistical data obtained from the Unified Information System for procurement, using keywords related to the environmental sustainability of purchased goods to analyze the trends in green public procurement practices. Through this research, recommendations for the institutional transformation of green procurement practices into a must-follow standard for public contractors will be developed.

UMIE: Unified Multimodal Information Extraction with Instruction Tuning

Multimodal information extraction (MIE) gains significant attention as the popularity of multimedia content increases. However, current MIE methods often resort to using task-specific model structures, which results in limited generalizability across tasks and underutilizes shared knowledge across MIE tasks. To address these issues, we propose UMIE, a unified multimodal information extractor to unify three MIE tasks as a generation problem using instruction tuning, being able to effectively extract both textual and visual mentions. Extensive experiments show that our single UMIE outperforms various state-of-the-art (SoTA) methods across six MIE datasets on three tasks. Furthermore, in-depth analysis demonstrates UMIE's strong generalization in the zero-shot setting, robustness to instruction variants, and interpretability. Our research serves as an initial step towards a unified MIE model and initiates the exploration into both instruction tuning and large language models within the MIE domain. Our code, data, and model are available at https://github.com/ZUCC-AI/UMIE.

Exploring the Challenges in Covering Dental Services through Complementary Insurance in Iran: A Qualitative Study.

Financial protection is crucial for attaining universal health coverage. The inclusion of costly dental services in insurance plans poses a significant challenge for all parties involved in the insurance sector. This study aimed to investigate the challenges of covering dental services by complementary insurance in Iran during 2020-2021. This qualitative research was conducted in Iran during 2020-2021. A triangulation of methods and data sources were employed to achieve a comprehensive perspective. In-depth semistructured interviews were conducted on an individual basis, and all national documents, rules, regulations, and instructions pertaining to complementary dental insurance were thoroughly reviewed. Purposeful sampling was used to select participants from all stakeholder groups engaged in dental insurance coverage, including (1) health system policymakers, (2) insurers, (3) policyholders, (4) care providers (dentists), and (5) insured people. Six open-ended questions were formulated to explore various facets of dental insurance, including (1) development, (2) management, (3) population coverage, (4) premium calculation, (5) services coverage, and (6) payment and reimbursement mechanisms. With the consent of the participants, all interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. The gathered data were evaluated using a framework analysis approach in the MAXQDA20 software. Finally, the primary themes, each encompassing multiple subthemes, were identified and presented. A total of 26 interviews were conducted with five groups of interviewees, and nine national documents were evaluated. Six themes were extracted, which included 18 codes from the interviews and seven codes from the documents. The extracted themes were as follows: (1) Insurance commitments and service coverage, (2) reimbursement system, (3) information system, (4) economic issues, (5) population coverage, and (6) regulation and supervision. The high cost of dental services was the most frequent challenge, followed by the insurance commitments and service coverage. The delivery of dental services through complementary insurance in Iran primarily faces economic and service coverage challenges. The resolution hinges on the collaboration between basic and complementary insurance sectors, the development of a unified information system for insured individuals, and the implementation of a risk-adjusted premium plan.

Requirements for digitalization of optimization technologies in healthcare: sociological research

BACKGROUND: The relevance of the study is due to the insufficient study of the requirements for digitalization in healthcare.
 AIM: The aim of this research is the scientific substantiation of requirements for digitalization of optimization technologies in healthcare, and their approbation on the model of management decision-making in medical institutions.
 MATERIALS AND METHODS: An anonymous survey involved 32 teaching experts from organizational departments and the Department of Philosophy, Humanities and Psychology of Saratov State Medical University named after V.I. Razumovsky, where optimization technologies have been rapidly developed and introduced into teaching and practice. Experts were asked to use a 10-point scale to evaluate the list of requirements for digitalization of optimization technologies in healthcare, and their significance. As the data distribution did not correspond to the binomial Gauss–Newton curve, the assessment of the reliability of differences was performed using the nonparametric Mann–Whitney criterion.
 RESULTS: A list of seven requirements for the digitalization of optimization technologies in healthcare, relevant to information support, automated evaluation of the initial state, implementation of the provisions of flexible changes methodology, virtualization of the optimization goal, cyclic optimization process, unified information space, organization of professional training was designed. Since the significance of all these requirements is essential (more than 8.0 points), we can suggest that when assessing the compliance of a particular technology, the entire list should be implemented. It turned productive to use the results of designing the technology for optimization of managerial decision-making in medical institutions for approbation of reasonable requirements.
 CONCLUSION: The requirements for digitalization of optimization technology in healthcare have been substantiated. It has been proved that the technology of optimizing managerial decision-making in medical institutions is digitized. The findings of this study can be used in both assessing the degree of digitalization of optimization technologies in healthcare and the professional training of healthcare managers.

Digital Campus as a tool for teaching English in the era of digital education

Introduction. The digital transformation of higher education in Russia has caused the need to revise the approaches to language training of university graduates. Aim. The present research aimed to model a Digital Campus with its services and functions as a tool for language training of students in the era of digital transformation of education. Methodology and research methods. The strategic approach was employed as the leading methodological approach, which in the framework of this study is considered as a potential possibility to implement language education at the university using the “Digital Campus” as an important tool for digital transformation of universities. The research was conducted in three stages, involving 2–3 year students of Togliatti State University (113 participants) and school students of Togliatti (157 participants) from July 2022 to January 2023. Empirical research methods were used: analysis, comparison, generalisation, synthesis, modelling. Stage 1 – collection and analysis of the information presented on the websites of the universities in order to highlight the indicators of the digital development of universities. Stage 2 – a survey of schoolchildren to identify their attitude to university admission; a survey of students to determine their motivation to receive language training through digital tools. Stage 3 – modelling of a Digital Campus, its services and functions for students’ language training. Results. The authors defined the Digital Campus as an environment based on information and educational digital resources and technologies, computer equipment, telecommunication technologies and software, organisational and methodological support, connecting participants in the learning process (teachers, applicants and students, graduates, enterprises/businesses) for distant educational activities and business operations in accordance with personalised request. The data available on universities’ websites were analysed and grouped into seven indicators. The most represented are the services: additional professional education, the use of interactive forms to work with applicants, online support of student and graduate career development, and the project office. Services for the implementation of personalised educational tracks and the digital footprints accumulation during the learning process were less prominent in the course of the research. The results of the survey were the following: there was a general readiness for “applicant – university” interaction through the online environment; a small percentage of divergence of schoolchildren and student opinion regarding their expectations to learn a foreign language online was observed. The Digital Campus and its functions were modelled. Each of the campus services – a student personal account (applicants/students), a teacher personal account, and an employer personal account (enterprises/businesses) – has its own interface and access to the following functional units: “Recruitment and Project System”, “Language Courses”, “Course Designer”, “Resource Management”, “E-Learning System”, “Courses Expertise Centre”. The environment creates unified information and educational space for student language training. Scientific novelty. The approaches to understanding the digital transformation of higher education were systematised, and the indicators of higher education institutions use of digital solutions in the educational process were analytically presented. The article provides the authors’ definition of the Digital Campus. The theoretical significance of the article is in the outline and analytical presentation of existing approaches and trends in the digital transformation of higher education. Practical significance. The Digital Campus is an important tool for the implementation of language training and, unlike the common university website, allows real-time interaction between all participants in the educational process: universities – students – enterprises/businesses. The prospects for the study may be aimed at the development of a Digital Campus for engineering students.

Research on Intelligent Management System of Gas Pipeline with Multi-source Data Fusion

Abstract Aiming at the current challenges of enormous scale, complex structure, difficult control and frequent accidents of city gas high-pressure pipeline network, there are still three aspects of difficulties in the risk monitoring and control of China’s city gas high-pressure pipeline network, namely, rough data, shallow assessment, and lack of power. This paper proposes an intelligent management system for gas pipelines based on C/S model and J2EE enterprise-level framework, in which the failure warning models of gas leakage, Gaussian plume diffusion, and fire and explosion are established. And the Kalman filter algorithm improved by DS evidence theory is used for intelligent fusion of Multi-source data, analyzing and screening the unified adequate information on data types, extracting state characteristics, classifying warning levels, and developing an integrated and visualized pipeline remote diagnosis and warning platform. In the simulation of the intelligent management system of gas pipeline, when the wind speed is 1.5m/s in winter, the ground surface is a safe area within 12.15m of the gas pipeline. When the maximum wind speed is 10m/s, the upper limit distance of the gas leading to fire and explosion is only 2.43m, and the hazardous range of the gas pipeline jet fire is within 12.69m. Relying on the gas high-pressure pipeline network in L city for practical experiments and applications, it provides technical support and decision-making basis for the construction of intelligent pipeline network, comprehensively improves the risk control capability of city gas high-pressure pipeline network, and has reference significance for the risk control of national city gas high-pressure pipeline network.
