Abstract:
Abstract Background: Endocrine modules available online have shown improvement in student learning and increased student satisfaction with self-guided learning (Kirk, 2016). However, most available modules are geared towards preclinical medical students rather than clinical students. Therefore, we developed an endocrine primer, defined as a set of introductory preparatory material, in the form of a PowerPoint. The primer reviews commonly seen endocrine disorders in adults, including their presentation, diagnosis, and management, in order to offer students access to self-paced learning and help bridge the gap between the basic science curriculum and clinical experience. Methods: Third and fourth year medical students enrolled in the endocrine elective from Feb 2020-Oct 2020 completed a 15 question pre-and post-knowledge assessment, as well as an endocrine primer satisfaction survey. The knowledge assessments evaluated students’ knowledge of topics surrounding type 1 and 2 diabetes, hyper- and hypothyroidism, thyroid nodules, adrenal and pituitary disease, hyperparathyroidism, and osteoporosis. The pre-knowledge assessment was completed prior to starting the endocrine elective and viewing the endocrine primer. The post-knowledge assessment was completed at the end of the two or four week endocrine elective. Results: A paired-T test was used to compare the pre- and post-knowledge survey results. A total of 7 third- and fourth-year medical students completed the knowledge assessment and satisfaction survey. Knowledge results showed a nonsignificant mean improvement of 1.4 points, p=0.09, from the start of the elective to completion, with a decreased variability between student scores. Student satisfaction was high, with 100% of students who completed the primer agreeing it made them more prepared for the endocrine elective and all students recommending other electives create similar primers as well. Conclusion: The endocrine primer standardized students’ endocrinology knowledge and enhanced satisfaction with the endocrinology elective. This self-paced learning opportunity was well received by medical students and should be included in other clinical electives. This pilot study will be expanded to a larger sample size and incorporate internal medicine residents on the endocrinology elective. We also plan to review faculty satisfaction before and after the primer was initiated.

Abstract:
It is often debated if medical electives are beneficial for students. While medical electives are not mandatory for students in the developing world, they are an important part of medical training in some Western universities (UCSD School of Medicine, n.d.) and have been part of UK undergraduate training since the 1970s (Cruikshank & Walsh, 1980). In the West medical schools form committees to guide, counsel, and help students plan their electives during vacations. In South Asia, the concept of electives is minimally encouraged; however, the students themselves share their elective experience and encourage other students to take electives, mostly through online forums. Electives often provide students a chance to work in a different setup, with different disease prevalence patterns, hospital management protocols, and learning experiences under various doctors with diverse problem solving approaches. It is also a two pronged tool whereby students can enhance their clinical skills and find opportunities to obtain a research project under the mentorship of research oriented academic consultants. This article is a brief sketch of experiences encountered by a South Asian medical student on a clerkship elective rotation in cardiology at a tertiary care hospital in Canada.

Abstract:
Abstract Background The goals of 4th-year medical student electives vary, and students’ learning during clinical electives may occur solely through the subspecialty cases that students encounter. We aim to standardize learning during electives by creating a toolkit to guide elective directors in the development of curricula that reinforce basic science principles, highlight areas for high-value care, and provide opportunities for further inquiry. The first step is to determine the core specialty topics applicable to students regardless of career choice. Here, we describe this content prioritization process within the context of an infectious diseases (ID) elective pilot curriculum. Methods We conducted a modified, 2-round Delphi process to develop consensus on ID topics that all graduating medical students should know. Through review of the literature for common diagnoses and high value care, and the medical school curriculum, the authors generated an initial list of 16 topics. An interdisciplinary group of 90 expert faculty educators from Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Emergency Medicine, and Surgery rated these topics’ importance using a 5-point Likert scale, from 0 (absolutely do not include) to 4 (very important). We considered items rated at least 3 (important) by at least 80% of participants to have reached consensus. Results Sixty of 90 (67%) educators responded to the initial survey, and 48/60 (80%) completed both surveys. Nine additional topics were proposed by first-round participants. After the second round, 14 topics met the consensus criterion. Many common conditions, several dangerous infections, and infectious issues overrepresented in the local population met consensus. However, while many of the topics failing to meet consensus addressed rare conditions or those typically managed by subspecialists, some were also common conditions. Conclusion Standardizing medical student learning during elective rotations begins with identifying key topics. Our process included a diverse group of educators to determine key topics. We will use this list to guide the content of a new asynchronous, online ID elective curriculum, and we will describe our process as part of a curriculum development toolkit for other elective directors.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Globalization has opened the doors for medical students to undertake international health electives, providing an opportunity for them to gain valuable competencies and skills outside their formal curriculum. As the number of medical students embarking on these electives increases, there is a need to structure the electives with specific learning objectives and to ensure adequate educational outcomes. We describe the International Pediatric Emergency Medicine Elective (IPEME), which is a novel global health elective that brings together students from Canada and the Middle East who are selected on the basis of a competitive application process and brought to Toronto for a 4-week living and studying experience. The program was introduced in 2004 and uses four specific areas to provide its structure: pediatric emergency medicine, global health, leadership, and peace building. The elective uses core CanMEDS competencies to foster cross-cultural dialogue, networking, and cooperation and fulfills the program's aim of using health as a bridge to peace. The lessons learned from the curriculum planning and implementation process are highlighted and the impact of the program explored to help provide a framework for developing similar international electives.

Abstract:
This study assessed the impact of an elective for second-year students on cultivating compassion through complementary and alternative medicine practices including therapeutic touch and healing touch. Course participants completed demographic questions, precourse and postcourse questions about confidence and practice in compassion, and the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Those who completed the elective reported significant improvements in confidence, practice, and sense of personal achievement. For example, for the statement, “I am confident in being calm, peaceful and focused (centered) before and during patient encounters,” scores improved from 1.7 to 8.0 on a 10-point scale ( p < .01). Optimism about future practice improved from 5.5 before to 7.9 after the course ( p < .05). Scores significantly improved for confidence and practice of compassion and optimism about future practice. Such electives may improve desired skills and help reduce burnout. Additional research is needed to determine the impact of such electives on quality of care.

Abstract:
Background: The purpose of this study was to develop a preclerkship elective and assess its effectiveness in supplementing medical students' education. Methods: A group of medical students under the guidance of two faculty advisors developed an elective consisting of six sessions covering a variety of practical aspects of diabetes care/education taught by an interprofessional team. Following the course completion, a survey was emailed to the enrollees who attended at least one session. The results were analyzed using Wilcoxon signed-rank and descriptive analyses. Results: A total of 14 medical students were enrolled (nine first year and five second year). An average of 4.4 sessions/student was attended. Thirteen students attended at least one session and were surveyed. The survey response rate was similar to 62% (8/13). All eight students indicated that the course was valuable and would recommend it to their colleagues. A Wilcoxon signed-rank test revealed a statistically significant increase in students' confidence in all five areas assessed following participation in the course, P<0.05 with a large effect (r>0.5). Conclusion: This study suggests the feasibility of developing disease state-specific preclerkship elective courses and that such courses can be beneficial in supplementing medical student education with practical knowledge.

Abstract:
Tort laws aim to deter risky medical practices and increase accountability for harm. This research examines their effects on deterrence of a high-risk obstetric practice in the United States: elective early-term (37-38 weeks gestation) induction of labor. Using birth certificate data from the Natality Detail Files and state-level data from publicly available sources, this study analyzes the effects of tort laws on labor induction with multilevel models (MLM) of 665,491 early-term births nested in states. Results reveal that caps on damages are associated with significantly higher odds of early-term induction and Proportionate Liability (PL) is associated with significantly lower odds compared to Joint and Several Liability (JSL). The findings suggest that clinicians are more likely to engage in practices that defy professional guidelines in tort environments with lower legal burdens. I discuss the implications of the findings for patient safety and the deterrence of high-risk practices.

Abstract:

This thesis paper defends a novel conception of the child's best interest in regard to elective pediatric surgeries (EPS). First, children's capacity for decision-making is examined, and the best decision-making model for EPS is identified as the Best Interest Standard. What follows is a discussion of the interests of children in EPS, the correlation of fundamental interests to rights, and guidelines for weighing children's competing interests. Next, the role of families is considered, especially the rights and duties of parents. Finally, a reinterpretation of the Best Interest Standard is proposed, identifying as paramount a child's ability to make elective medical decisions for herself when she reaches maturity.

Abstract:
In Hong Kong, access to elective surgeries in public hospitals is often associated with lengthy waiting times. Facing resource constraints and increasing demands from a rapidly ageing population, the Hospital Authority (HA) is constantly confronted by the healthcare rationing dilemma. To date, publicized data on elective surgery waiting times at the HA remain limited, and a standardized way of measuring waiting time is currently lacking. Recognizing that the definition of waiting time will form the basis for future policies in addressing the issue, a three-step approach will be taken in this paper. First, a comparison will be drawn for the varying definitions of waiting time worldwide. Next, a suitable definition will be proposed for Hong Kong, followed by analysis of where policy interventions are most needed for reducing waiting times. Finally, best practices for managing waiting times will be extrapolated from England, Canada, Australia, and Spain to serve as guidance for Hong Kong’s future policy direction.

Abstract:
Trots att det i sjukvården betraktas som normalt att föda barn vaginalt väljer en del kvinnor att föda sina barn med hjälp av kejsarsnitt utan att det föreligger någon medicinsk indikation, varken för mor eller barn (elektivt sectio). Den medicinska vetenskapen visar att det både är säkrare och bättre i de flesta fall att föda vaginalt, men antalet elektiva kejsarsnitt ökar årligen. Kunskap om vad som driver kvinnor att önska elektivt kejsarsnitt kan öka möjligheten att minska kejsarsnitt som görs utan medicinsk indikation. Kunskapen är viktig för barnmorskor som kan hjälpa gravida kvinnor att i högre grad välja att föda sitt barn vaginalt då det inte föreligger indikation för kejsarsnitt. Syftet med arbetet var att beskriva kvinnors önskan om att föda sitt barn med hjälp av  elektivt kejsarsnitt utan att det föreligger någon medicinsk indikation för kejsarsnitt. En litteraturstudie har genomförts där sökningar efter artiklar gjorts i databaserna PubMed, CINAHL och APA PsychInfo. Till studiens resultat har 20 vetenskapliga artiklar, både kvalitativa och kvantitativa artiklar använts. De publicerade studierna är genomförda i  olika länder, en del i höginkomstländer och en del i medelinkomstländer enligt måttet bruttonationalprodukt per person och år, vilken beskriver ett lands produktion utifrån dess befolkningsutveckling (BNP per capita). Samtliga artiklar är publicerade mellan åren 2009-2019, och är etiskt godkända.  Kvinnors anledning att önska elektivt kejsarsnitt utan medicinsk indikation sammanfattas i detta arbete med två övergripande teman: Vaginal förlossning ett hot och Kejsarsnitt garanterar hälsa och trygghet. Kvinnornas rädsla för vaginal förlossning var en framträdande anledning till att önska kejsarsnitt. Rädslan hade sitt ursprung i egna eller andras negativa erfarenheter av vaginal förlossning. Rädslan grundades också i en oro för att kvinnans utseende och hennes relation skulle påverkas av en vaginal förlossning. Önskan om kejsarsnitt utan medicinsk indikation grundades i en tro om att ingreppet skulle garantera hälsa och trygghet för mor och barn, något som vaginal förlossning inte kunde erbjuda.  Den mest framträdande anledningen till att kvinnor önskade kejsarsnitt utan medicinsk indikation var en intensiv rädsla för en vaginal förlossning. Kvinnorna hade uppfattningen att ett kejsarsnitt skulle garantera säkerhet för mor och barn. Det kan inte uteslutas att önskan om elektivt kejsarsnitt kan bero på brist på kunskap.  Det finns ytterligare behov av forskning på ämnet, förslagsvis på interventioner från sjukvården som fokuserar på att utbilda födande kvinnor om vinsterna med vaginal förlossning.

In this research the object of study was the psychic suffering of the medicine students. The general goal was to discuss stressors e possible abuses or violences of the medical course according to the perception of medicine students from a public university in the center west part of Brazil, analyzing the contributions of an elective course offered in the medical school, in which stress coping strategies were explored. The project is in accordance with the ethics aspects of Resolution 466/12. It is a descriptive-exploratory using the qualitative approach characterized as case study. The sample was 33 medicine students in 2011 and 76 in 2013. The data collection was made through focus groups, semi-structured questionnaires and notes from the teachers during the time spent with the students. The data was registered, organized and analyzed with the use of a software that support qualitative analysis called WebQDA. The analysis of the content was based on the methodology of Bardin. The results were presented in articles about the stress factors with the following categories: curriculum, evaluations, relation with teachers, support structure, interpersonal relations, professional perspectives, personal expectations, fear and insecurity, the coping strategies divided in distractions and relief or comprehension and resolution; the way the students deal with pain were characterized as negation and escape or reflexive and the violence and abuse during the medical course were seen as abuse of power or institutional fragilities; the perceptions about the changes after doing the elective about the coping strategies include more self-reflection, improvement in assertiveness and communication. It was concluded that among other stressors is the excessive work load, too much content to be learned, exams, seminars and numerous group works, big responsibilities, insecurity and fear of failing, competitive environment, verbal abuse, violence in the freshmen’s hazing. As examples of the coping strategies there are: going out with friends, searching support from religion, physical activities, doing other things apart from university, support from family/friends, sharing the difficulties. Many react to pain by denying it. After doing the elective course the majority of the students reported less stress symptoms than in the begging of the semester, more use of coping strategies, considering the course as an useful moment to learn new techniques with a higher self-reflection and they realized positive changes in their own life. The elective discipline meant theoretical and practical learning, brought benefits from the class itself, moments of reflection and psychic and emotional changes.
Na presente investigação o objeto de estudo foi o sofrimento psíquico dos estudantes de Medicina. O objetivo geral foi discutir a percepção dos acadêmicos de Medicina de uma Universidade Pública na região Centro-Oeste do Brasil quanto a fatores estressores e possíveis abusos ou violências do curso médico e sua forma de enfrentamento, analisando as contribuições de uma disciplina eletiva oferecida no curso de Medicina, na qual são discutidas estratégias de enfrentamento do estresse. O projeto está de acordo com os aspectos éticos recomendados pela Resolução 466/12. Estudo do tipo descritivo-exploratório utilizando abordagem qualitativa caracterizada como estudo de caso. A amostra constituiu-se de 33 acadêmicos de medicina em 2011 e 76 em 2013. A coleta de dados ocorreu por meio da utilização de grupo focal, questionários semiestruturados e anotações da pesquisadora nos momentos presenciais com os alunos. Os dados foram registrados, organizados e analisados por meio do Software de Apoio à Análise Qualitativa denominado WebQDA. A análise do conteúdo seguiu a metodologia sugerida por Bardin. Os resultados foram apresentados em artigos abordando fatores de estresse com as categorias currículo, avaliação, relação com os professores, estrutura de apoio, falta de tempo, relações interpessoais, perspectivas profissionais, cobrança, medo e insegurança; as estratégias de enfrentamento divididas em distrações e alivio ou compreensão e resolução; a forma como os estudantes lidam com a dor estão nas categorias negação e fuga ou reflexiva e as violências e abusos no curso médico são percebidas pelos alunos como abuso de poder ou fragilidades institucionais; as percepções quanto às mudanças após cursar a disciplina eletiva sobre estratégias de enfrentamento do estresse curso de graduação incluem maior autorreflexão, melhora na assertividade e comunicação. Concluiu-se que os fatores de estresse são a carga horária excessiva, muito conteúdo a ser aprendido, provas, seminários e trabalhos numerosos, grande responsabilidade, insegurança e medo do fracasso, ambiente competitivo, abuso verbal, violência dos trotes ao recepcionar os calouros. Entre as estratégias de enfrentamento estão o ato de sair para se distrair com amigos, buscar apoio da religião, atividades físicas, investir em assuntos alheios à faculdade, receber apoio dos pais/familiares, compartilhar suas dificuldades. Muitos reagem à dor, negando-a. Após a disciplina, a maioria dos alunos relatou menos sintomas de estresse do que no início do semestre, utilizam mais estratégias de enfrentamento, consideraram que foi um momento útil onde aprenderam novas técnicas e aumentaram a autorreflexão e perceberam mudanças positivas na própria vida. A disciplina significou aprendizado teórico e prático, trouxe benefícios da aula em si, mudanças psíquicas e emocionais; e momento de reflexão.

Abstract:

Background: For an individual a surgery may involve strains and risks. Many patients experience a loss of its own identity and often an inability to control the situation while going through a surgical operation. Fear of pain or to not wake up from the anesthetic or that the surgery will fail are worrying factors that some people experiences. Purpose: The purpose was to describe patients’ perceptions of preoperative information in connection to elective surgeries. Method: The literature review was based on 13 scientific articles within the area. The research was performed in the databases ELIN, Medline and Cinahl as well as manually. The results were presented according to the Antonovskys model; ability to comprehend, manage and meaningfulness. Result: Majority of patients wished to receive oral as well as written information. The patients wanted information about the disease, surgery, anaesthetics and what complications the surgery may cause. The information brought forth experience of having knowledge. Knowledge gave the patients a view of the situation and therefore the experience of having some control, something that created feelings of safety and hope. A few patients didn´t want any preoperative information. Conclusion: Preoperative information may reduce anxiety and give understanding of what is to happen. It is important that the information is adapted to the individual needs of the patient.

Abstract:
Abstrakt Bakgrund: Forskning visar att generell anestesi kan bidra till kognitiv dysfunktion postoperativt. En alltför djup anestesi och/eller en lång duration av anestesi är två faktorer som kan inverka på kognitionen med besvär såsom minnesproblem och koncentrationssvårigheter. Anestesisjuksköterskans roll är att individanpassa anestesin för att inte orsaka för djup anestesi och därmed har det blivit alltmer vanligt att monitorera anestesidjupet för att minska på onödigt lidande för patienten. Syfte: Syftet är att kartlägga anestesidjup och anestesiduration  hos patienter med självskattad  kognitiv svikt efter elektiv ortopedisk operation. Metod: För att kartlägga detta valdes en retrospektiv observationsstudie med tvärsnittsdesign med insamlad data från kvalitetsregister. Resultat: Av 920 patienter var det 116 patienter som uppgav kognitiv dysfunktion dag 1 postoperativt och upp till över 16 dagar postoperativt med  ett genomsnittsvärde på 37,7 i entropy och 104,4 minuter i anestesiduration. Slutsats: Desto längre duration av anestesin och ju djupare anestesi desto mer kognitiv påverkan postoperativt. Anestesidjupsmonitorering bör användas mer frekvent och önskvärt är att bedöma kognition preoperativt med ett mätinstrument för att kunna se om skillnad finns postoperativt.

Abstract:
AbstractOral and Maxillofacial surgery, like any surgical specialty, has two vital requirements. First, having the right armamentarium, and, second, acquiring appropriate skills and knowledge of the patients’ disease process, including comorbidities. With the changing demographic in India, the profile of Indian patient has undergone a sea change in the last few decades. From acute conditions that had little impact on subsequent health of the patient, we have arrived at a scenario where a large proportion of patients present with chronic disorders like diabetes, ischemic heart diseases, etc. that affect many elective procedures we undertake and require optimization of the overall physical status of the patient before proceeding with any surgery.Trainee surgeons need to be aware and updated and should be able to recognize, treat, or appropriately refer patients to the requisite specialty in case of complex conditions beyond their remit or ability. In this chapter, readers will get a very brief overview of the different organ systems that play crucial role in homeostasis and how to modify the treatment when there’s an imbalance in either of these systems.

The article shows that the traditional approaches to the teaching of elective "Geography of medicinal plants" (lectures, practical training, excursions) are actively complemented by elements of electronic education based on information and electronic technologies (distance learning, the use of electronic textbooks, plant photos ("Virtual herbarium"), video lectures, remote testing). Knowledge gained by students in the classroom "Geography of medicinal plants" during classroom sessions and on excursions, as well as independently as a result of distance interactive learning, will make a significant intellectual contribution to the development of modern specialists-pharmacists.

Abstract:
The physical impairment caused by OA of a single lower extremity joint is comparable to that reported for major life-altering disorders such as end-stage kidney disease and heart failure. (Buckwalter, et al) [1] Ankle distraction arthroplasty has been shown to greatly decrease pain due to end-stage ankle arthritis. Unlike arthrodesis (fusion of the joint), distraction arthroplasty maintains the joint’s natural movement, and it is far less complicated than total joint replacement surgery. There is a considerable body of research supporting the idea that distraction of an end-stage arthritic joint (most of the work thus far has been done on ankles, although there has also been some investigation of the efficacy of the treatment for knee arthritis) for a period of weeks allows the growth of new tissue in the joint. Although this tissue is not true articular cartilage, distraction arthroplasty has been shown to significantly decrease pain and, in the majority of cases, to be a long lasting remedy for a condition that would otherwise commonly be treated with arthrodesis. [2] Devices currently available for this procedure are generally quite complicated because they are designed for a wide range of functions related to bone fixation. This versatility also tends to make those systems larger and more expensive, and their aggressively mechanical appearance makes potential joint distraction patients hesitant to select the procedure. While fracture patients may not have a choice about being treated with such devices, elective patients are instinctively resistant to their use, even when assured that the end result will most likely significantly improve in the quality of their lives.

Abstract:
The objective of this National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded undergraduate engineering training project is to introduce nanoscale science and engineering through an innovative use of a technical elective sophomore-level mechatronics course, followed by an Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)-mandated senior-level engineering capstone design project. A unique partnership between University of Arizona’s department of surgery, its neurosurgical division, and the College of Engineering presents a creative environment, where medical residents serve as mentors for undergraduate engineering students in developing product ideas enabled by nanotechnology. Examples include: a smart ventricular peritoneal (VP) shunt with flow-sensing; a bio-resorbable inflatable stent for drug delivery, and a hand-held non-invasive eye tonometer. Results from the first year of the student projects, as well as qualitative assessment of their experience, is presented. Several institutional challenges were also identified.

Abstract:
One major sub-domain in the subject of polling public opinion with social media data is electoral prediction. Electoral prediction utilizing social media data potentially would significantly affect campaign strategies, complementing traditional polling methods and providing cheaper polling in real-time. First, this paper explores past successful methods from research for analysis and prediction of the 2020 US Presidential Election using Twitter data. Then, this research proposes a new method for electoral prediction which combines sentiment, from NLP on the text of tweets, and structural data with aggregate polling, a time series analysis, and a special focus on Twitter users critical to the election. Though this method performed worse than its baseline of polling predictions, it is inconclusive whether this is an accurate method for predicting elections due to scarcity of data. More research and more data are needed to accurately measure this method’s overall effectiveness.

Full text
Abstract:
Recent increases in political polarization in social media raise questions about the relationship between negative online messages and the decline in political trust around the world. To evaluate this claim causally, we implement a variant of the well-known trust game in a survey experiment with 4,800 respondents in Brazil and Mexico. Our design allows to test the effect of social media on trust and trustworthiness. Survey respondents alternate as agents (politicians) and principals (voters). Players can cast votes, trust others with their votes, and cast entrusted votes. The players rewards are contingent on their preferred “candidate” winning the election. We measure the extent to which voters place their trust in others and are themselves trustworthy, that is, willing to honor requests that may not benefit them. Treated respondents are exposed to messages from in-group or out-group politicians, and with positive or negative tone. Results provide robust support for a negative effect of uncivil partisan discourse on trust behavior and null results on trustworthiness. The negative effect on trust is considerably greater among randomly treated respondents who engage with social media messages. These results show that engaging with messages on social media can have a deleterious effect on trust, even when those messages are not relevant to the task at hand or not representative of the actions of the individuals involved in the game.

Abstract:
The article deals with the ways in which social networks and the blogosphere influence the formation and implementation of a PR campaign. Examples from the political sphere (election campaigns, initiatives), business (TV brands, traditional and online media) have revealed the opportunities that Facebook, Telegram, Twitter, YouTube and blogs promote in promoting advertising, ideas, campaigns, thoughts, or products. Author blogs created on special websites or online media may not be as much of a tool in PR as an additional tool on social media. It is noted that choosing a blog as the main tool of PR campaign has both positive and negative points. Social networks intervene in the sphere of human life, become a means of communication, promotion, branding. The effectiveness of social networks has been evidenced by such historically significant events as Brexit, the Arab Spring, and the Revolution of Dignity. Special attention was paid to the 2019 presidential election. Based on the analysis of individual PR campaigns, the reasons for successful and unsuccessful campaigns from the point of view of network communication, which provide unlimited multimedia and interactive tools for PR, are highlighted. In fact, these concepts significantly affect the effectiveness of the implementation of PR-campaign, its final effectiveness, which is determined by the achievement of goals. Attention is drawn to the culture of communication during the PR campaign, as well as the concepts of “trolls”, “trolling”, “bots”, “botoin industry”. The social communication component of these concepts is unconditional. Choosing a blog as the main tool of a marketing campaign has both positive and negative aspects. Only a person with great creative potential can run and create a blog. In addition, it takes a long time. In fact, these two points are losing compared to other internet marketing tools. Further research is interesting in two respects. First, a comparison of the dynamics of the effectiveness of PR-campaign tools in Ukraine in 2020 and in the past, in particular, at the dawn of state independence. Secondly, to investigate how/or the concept of PR-campaigns in social networks and blogs is constantly changing.
