ABSTRACT Background: Despite technological advances and changes that the medical fraternity has experienced in the last few decades, the physical appearance of physicians still influences the patients’ perception of doctors. The basis of medical practice depends on a robust doctor–patient relationship and efforts should be made to build rapport to foster a partnership to provide patient-centered care. Objective: The aim of this objection is to determine the patient’s perception of doctors’ appearance and its influence on the doctor–patient relationship. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among patients attending OPD in health-care centers of Manipur from January 2022 to February 2022. Five hundred and forty-four patients were interviewed using a pretested structured questionnaire. A Chi-square test was performed to check for an association between independent and outcome variables (P < 0.05). Results: Mean age of the participants was 36.40 years (±12.55). A percentage of 60.80 were females and 64% of the participants were from the tertiary care center, Imphal West. A percentage of 60.5 preferred doctors’ attire to be formal with a white coat. A percentage of 52.9 of them perceived that doctors’ attire will make them seem more approachable. A percentage of 39.7 had preferences in doctors’ gender. Participants from urban health-care centers had significantly more preference for the doctors’ attire to be a formal dress with a white coat (P = 0.04). Age group, gender, type of setting, and education level were significantly associated with gender preference (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The majority of the participant had no preference over the doctor’s gender and preferred doctors’ attire to be formal with a white coat. The doctor’s hair dye, facial piercing, and tattoos didn’t bother a majority of the patients.

Introduction Our study seeks to understand the profiles of otolaryngologists selected by Castle Connolly’s Top Doctor list and how this compares to the entire field of otolaryngology. Methods Top Doctor lists published in Castle Connolly affiliated magazines were analyzed for Otolaryngology, Otolaryngology/Facial Plastic Surgery, or Pediatric Otolaryngology physicians. Only lists published in 2021 or representing the 2021 Top Doctor lists were analyzed. Of the total 39 partnered magazines, 27 met our criteria. Information on the physician was analyzed from the Castle Connolly website and included: gender, education, faculty position, years as a Top Doctor, and certifications of each physician. Results 879 doctors, 742 (84%) men and 137 women (16%), were included in our analysis. 509 physicians completed a fellowship, 85 (62%) women and 424 (57%) men. The fellowship type varied significantly between gender (p = .002). 122 (14%) Top Doctors completed facial and plastic reconstructive surgery and 111 (91%) were men. Of the women Top Doctors completing a fellowship, 29 (34%) completed a fellowship in pediatric otolaryngology. A logistic regression found that men have an increased odds of being on the Top Doctors list for more years than females (OR: 1.36, p < .001). Conclusion The percentage of women named as Top Doctors was less than the proportion of women in otolaryngology. This may be attributed to gender differences we found in fellowship type and certification. Further research into the role of otolaryngology subspecialties in selection of Top Doctors is needed to better understand gender differences.

Full textAbstract:
An interactive, iterative smartphone application was used on color images to distinguish diseased from healthy plant tissues and calculate percentage of disease severity. The user touches the application’s display screen to select up to eight different colors that represent healthy tissues. The user then moves a threshold slider until only the symptomatic tissues have been transformed into a blue hue. The pixelated image is then analyzed to calculate the disease percentage. This study reports the accuracy, precision, and robustness of Leaf Doctor using six different diseases with typical lesions of varying severity. Estimates of disease severity from Leaf Doctor were highly accurate (R2 ≥ 0.79; Cb ≥ 0.959) compared with estimates obtained from the discipline-standard, Assess. Precision was operationally defined as the ability of a rater to use Leaf Doctor and repeatedly obtain similar percentages of disease severity for the same image. Coefficients of variation were low (0.51 to 14.1%) across all disease datasets but a significant negative relationship was found between the coefficient of variation of estimates and mean disease severity. Other advantages of Leaf Doctor included comparatively less time for image processing, low cost, ease of use, ability to send results by e-mail, and the ability to create realistic standard area diagrams. Leaf Doctor is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch and is optimized for iPhone 5. It is available as a free download at the iTunes Store.

Full textAbstract:
Basically the medical record is an important part of health care for patients in the hospital. Medical decisions taken by a doctor based on the diagnosis made will greatly affect the actions of patients in treatment. An accurate diagnosis is based on history, physical examination, supporting examination and written in the medical record file. The purpose of making a medical record to support the achievement of orderly administration in order to improve health services in the hospital. This study aims to analyze and determine the completeness of filling inpatient medical record files at the General Hospital Putri Hijau Medan . This type of research is descriptive with an approach Qualitative using the in-depth interview method from statements to six informants consisting of one pulmonary specialists, one nurse, three hospital management, chief medical records officer. The results of the study generally showed that from 40 medical record files by pulmonary specialists obtained the complete entry date (100%), the percentage of complete entry time (100%), the percentage of complete anamnese recording (80%) completed by the doctor, complete physical examination (55%), complete diagnosis as much as (95%), treatment and complete action as much as (100%), consent and complete action as much as (100%), clinical observations as complete as much as (67.5%), the return summary is completely filled (50%), and the doctor's name and signature are completely filled (90%). The incompleteness of filling medical records is due to doctors feeling the time is limited because of the large number of patients, lack of communication between doctors and nurses in completeness of completing record files, medical lack of monitoring conducted by the hospital. It is expected that doctors, nurses improve communication for the completeness of the medical record, the doctor as the person in charge of the medical record to be more concerned with completing the medical record. Hopefully the hospital management will be more assertive to provide sanctions to the doctor to be able to increase the completeness of the medical record and further enhance monitoring.

"Patient information desire in actual decision making for advanced cancer treatment: Do doctors know their patients?" Journal of Clinical Oncology 30, no. 15_suppl (2012): 9036. http://dx.doi.org/10.1200/jco.2012.30.15_suppl.9036.
Full textAbstract:
9036 Background: Providing information is an important element of cancer care. While several studies have investigated patients' information desire, to our knowledge, this study is the first to involve patients facing an actual decision. We examined the information desire of patients at the point of decision making, the ability of doctors to judge this desire, and the information provided by the doctor. Methods: This prospective multicenter study included patients with advanced colorectal or breast cancer faced with the decision whether or not to pursue second-line chemotherapy. Patients received the usual treatment-related information from the doctor plus a decision aid from a nurse. The aid contained information on adverse events, tumor response, and survival. For each item, the nurse asked the patient whether the information was desired and whether it had been disclosed by the doctor and the doctor made a substitute judgment of the patient’s information desire on the inclusion form. The match between patient’s desire and doctor’s judgment was expressed in percentage agreement and agreement corrected for chance (κ). Results: By 01/2012, 71 patients had received the decision aid. Median age was 62 years (range 39-80), 38% were male, and 28% had college education or higher. Information on adverse events, tumor response, and survival was desired by 94%, 90%, and 73% of patients. The doctors judged that information desire would be 100%, 97%, and 81%, respectively. There was a poor match between doctor’s judgment and actual information desire for adverse events (94%, κ not applicable), tumor response (87%, κ = -0.049), and survival (61%, κ = -0.104). When asked whether the information was previously disclosed by the doctor, 73%, 57%, and 30% of patients answered affirmatively. Conclusions: Patients expressed a high information desire, which was accurately judged by the doctors. However, doctors were unable to judge an individual patient’s information desire beyond chance. According to the patients, doctors did not disclose all desired information, especially on survival. Decision aids, similar to those used here, have been shown to help doctors provide safe, effective, and timely information to patients.

Full textAbstract:
This article describes the anatomical experiment to identify, what percentage of time the doctor pays attention particular segments of the teeth during the operation odontoceridae. In the experiment, the group of doctors conducted consistently operation odontoceridae 44 and 46 of the teeth, and by means of device for video recording was done shooting field operations. Moment of contact a dental tool to separate segments was fixed by recording device. The time of treatment sectors of dissecting tooth was estimated on the received video or sound track and the ratio of time processing sectors was found. This analysis of 44 and 46 teeth was made. As a result of the distributions were obtained, showing which parts of the lateral surface the doctor pays more attention during odontoceridae operation. The authors conclude that during odontoceridae operation the doctor pays more attention to the most accessible for the eyes sectors of the tooth, and less attention is hidden from the eyes of the inaccessible areas. The doctor treats the areas of the lateral surface of the tooth, which are visible and easily accessible. Hidden from the doctor&#180;s eyes the side surfaces of the teeth remain without attention and incur less processing.

Full textAbstract:
The existence of smartphones has an impact on mobile application development which aims to help humans in their daily activities. The Doctor to Doctor (D2D) application is an application that helps doctors get the latest information about health. To maintain the quality of the application so that it is comfortable to use by users, it is necessary to carry out tests with the aim of finding errors in the application. D2D application testing is done manually and automatically based on functional tests. This test uses an automated testing application, namely Katalon Studio. Tests were carried out on 16 of the 42 functions in the D2D application. In this study, we will compare the level of effectiveness of manual and automated testing as well as the advantages and disadvantages of manual and automated testing. Based on the results of the tests that have been carried out, the percentage of successful D2D application testing was 86.89% indicating that 7 of the 16 functions were still not running properly. From the results obtained in terms of time, automated testing using Katalon Studio is not effective enough compared to manual testing.

BackgroundRecent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence research include the development of generative pretrained transformers (GPT). ChatGPT has been shown to perform well when answering several sets of medical multiple-choice questions. However, it has not been tested for writing free-text assessments of complex cases in primary care.ObjectivesTo compare the performance of ChatGPT, version GPT-4, with that of real doctors.Design and settingA blinded observational comparative study conducted in the Swedish primary care setting. Responses from GPT-4 and real doctors to cases from the Swedish family medicine specialist examination were scored by blinded reviewers, and the scores were compared.ParticipantsAnonymous responses from the Swedish family medicine specialist examination 2017–2022 were used.Outcome measuresPrimary: the mean difference in scores between GPT-4’s responses and randomly selected responses by human doctors, as well as between GPT-4’s responses and top-tier responses by human doctors. Secondary: the correlation between differences in response length and response score; the intraclass correlation coefficient between reviewers; and the percentage of maximum score achieved by each group in different subject categories.ResultsThe mean scores were 6.0, 7.2 and 4.5 for randomly selected doctor responses, top-tier doctor responses and GPT-4 responses, respectively, on a 10-point scale. The scores for the random doctor responses were, on average, 1.6 points higher than those of GPT-4 (p<0.001, 95% CI 0.9 to 2.2) and the top-tier doctor scores were, on average, 2.7 points higher than those of GPT-4 (p<0.001, 95 % CI 2.2 to 3.3). Following the release of GPT-4o, the experiment was repeated, although this time with only a single reviewer scoring the answers. In this follow-up, random doctor responses were scored 0.7 points higher than those of GPT-4o (p=0.044).ConclusionIn complex primary care cases, GPT-4 performs worse than human doctors taking the family medicine specialist examination. Future GPT-based chatbots may perform better, but comprehensive evaluations are needed before implementing chatbots for medical decision support in primary care.

AimsTo achieve 100% of digital handover records being completed by doctors at end of shifts in Holywell Hospital, Northern Ireland.MethodsTransition to completion of digital handover record began in 2019. This was initially audited during 2020-2021 with slowly worsening results. After this, audit data were no longer recorded.Since becoming trainee representative in February 2022, I investigated, along with my colleagues, reasons as to why this was not being completed nor being achieved. Reasons established included unaware of necessity, chronic culture of not being completed, a lack of access to shared drive and outside locums covering shifts as well as a higher percentage of doctors who were on shorter 4 month rotations. Literature review around junior doctor handovers in other sites was also completed and analysed.A Plan Do Study Act (PDSA) cycle was subsequently established taking these factors into account from August 2022 to January 2023 with a focus on information sharing, training at specific junior doctor changeover points, liaising with administration to ensure adequate access to handover and regular audit and feedback amongst junior doctors.ResultsFrom a new baseline of 5.36% of digital handovers being completed in February 2022 there has initially been a gradual increase noted at April 2022 to (35.00%) remaining relatively static into August 2022 (25.81%). Some of this related to doctors not having requisite access to shared folder.However, percentage completed increased substantially after August 2022 with better administrative support and from September 2022 (70.00%) to December 2022 (88.71%) and into January 2023 (91.94%) handovers were completed.ConclusionThrough a combination of better information sharing amongst junior doctors, signposting to digital handover, improvement of early access to requisite folder and specific teaching regarding handover at induction at all changeovers, stressing importance of completion from clinical governance perspective, there has been a genuine sea-change amongst junior medical staff that has included taking better ownership of the process and shared responsibility for it being completed.This record-keeping improvement has been stark and maintained for a prolonged period, particularly from September 2022 and is now averaging over 90% being completed. There remains some issues regarding access if shift being covered by an outside locum doctor and this would be next targeted area with the goal of achieving 100% record of digital handover occurring.

Integrated Patient Progress Notes (CPPT) are activities of health workers (doctors, nurses, pharmacists, nutritionists, and other officers) in recording the results of their activities, in one format together in the patient's medical record related to the patient's care process. This sheet contains the patient's identity, date of examination, examination time, notes from the treating doctor, notes from other clinical staff, and is verified with the initials and name of the officer who filled it in. All actions taken are recorded at the time, date and type of action given and must be signed by the examining doctor. This study aims to see the completeness of the doctor's integrated patient progress notes in the electronic medical record of the IGD assessment at Tarakan Hospital, Jakarta. This study uses a descriptive methodology with a quantitative approach. A sample of 77 electronic medical records of the IGD assessment used random sampling. Research results: from the analysis, the completeness was 90%, not reaching the minimum standard set by the Ministry of Health, which is 100%. Of the 4 components analyzed, the highest level of completeness is in the patient identification, authentication, good recording components of 100%, while the lowest percentage of completeness is in the important report content component of 93%. Several factors that cause poor doctor CPPT are when the doctor has filled in the Doctor CPPT but the system does not save it because an error occurs. It is recommended that the system be monitored consistently to prevent such errors during data entry, and that a special computer unit for doctors be created to minimize waiting time when interacting with other nursing staff.

By the mid-twentieth century, two things appeared destined for extinction in the United States: the practice of home birth and the profession of midwifery. In 1940, close to half of all U.S. births took place in the hospital, and the trend was increasing. By 1970, the percentage of hospital births reached an all-time high of 99.4%, and the obstetrician, rather than the midwife, assumed nearly complete control over what had become an entirely medicalized procedure. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, an explosion of new alternative organizations, publications, and conferences cropped up, documenting a very different demographic trend; by 1977, the percentage of out-of-hospital births had more than doubled. Home birth was making a comeback, but why? A quiet revolution spread across cities and suburbs, towns and farms, as individuals challenged legal, institutional, and medical protocols by choosing unlicensed midwives to catch their babies at home. Drawing on archival materials and interviews with midwives, doctors, and home birth consumers, Coming Home analyzes the ideas, values, and experiences that led to this quiet revolution, and its long-term consequences for our understanding of birth, medicine, and culture.

AbstractMalpractice! The word strikes terror in doctors’ hearts—and with good reason. All doctors are at risk of being sued when things go wrong, and most doctors are in fact sued at some time in their career, whether or not they did anything wrong. For some high-risk specialties, including neurosurgery, vascular surgery, and cardiology, the percentage sued is very high, and multiple suits are not uncommon. For all doctors, the cost of malpractice insurance is substantial.

AbstractPurpose- The number of excess deaths in England and Wales during the second heatwave period in 2022 was the greatest it has been since 2018. Greater London is particularly at risk for indoor overheating due to the predicted increase in hot summers from 50–60% by 2050, which can have serious negative effects on the socio-economic state of the city. The purpose of this study is to assess and predict the risk of overheating in a residential apartment building in a high-risk London heatwave location.Methodology-This study uses computer simulation and on-site measurements to create a virtual model for IES VE dynamic thermal modelling and perform overheating assessment simulations in a London apartment complex using the CIBSE TM59 methodology.Findings- The percentage hours with exceeding temperature surpassed 50% above the standard threshold in the 2020s scenario, which increased two folds for the 2050s and 2080s. Moreover, the bedrooms’ operational temperatures are found to be terribly above the safety standard.Implications- The findings implicate examining the economic viability and effectiveness of various solutions in the future to prevent residential building overheating in London. Further investigation can be done by conducting in-depth experiments on the susceptibility of various floors to overheating.Originality/value- The paper offers novel insights into the overheating risk assessment in London, particularly focusing on households in high-risk areas. The study contributes to the conversation on sustainability practices and their socio-economic implications by highlighting the urgent need for retrofitting frameworks to promote sustainable building design and practices.

Abstract The function of the expert witness within the English legal system is the same whatever the area of expertise. The problem faced by the would-be expert in identifying the nature of that function may vary, depending on the nature of that expertise. The doctor, for example, is accustomed to diagnosing and treating illness, but may be less comfortable in saying what percentage of a patient’s disability is attributable to a particular injury, the very issues that the legal system may want addressed. It is very important to understand the basics of how the legal system works, in order to see what it actually requires of the expert. In that way, a lot of time (on behalf of the doctor) and frustration (on the part of the lawyer) can be saved. It is also important to understand how lawyers function in court.

Abstract ‘Will it happen again, Doctor?’ The stroke patient is asking one of the most difficult questions to answer clearly and is expecting a straight yes or no. The clinician may toss a mental coin, and say ‘no’, realizing that this answer will be wrong some of the time but right most of the time. The response may be justified by the paternalistic notion that the patient really does not need negative ideas to ponder during the difficult period of recovery. An alternative is to give a probability of a further stroke. Depending on the optimism of the doctor this may be stated as a percentage chance of having a stroke or a much bigger chance of not having a stroke. The figure usually quoted is around IO per cent per year (Allen 1984a; Wade et al. 1985b).

Abstract Stiffness and achiness are common problems in scleroderma. Sometimes patients can’t tell whether the aching is coming from the joints, the muscles, both, or neither. The thickness and tightness of the overlying skin can make it hard even for the doctor to determine if joint swelling is present. This can be an important distinction to make, since joint pain and swelling (arthritis) may require different treatment than muscle aches or tendon inflammation. A small percentage of patients will have a true overlap between rheumatoid arthritis and scleroderma and may need to be treated with medications that are usually considered to be specific for rheumatoid arthritis. Most, however, will not have this overlap.

Full textAbstract:
One of the most common cancer types among women is breast cancer. Regular mammographic examinations increase the possibility for early diagnosis and treatment and significantly improve the chance of survival for patients with breast cancer. Keeping an informed and complete patient record is of great importance as the doctor needs this information for every patient examination. The proposed implementation is a patient record system that includes &lsquo;smart&rsquo; algorithms in order to automatically use data from the patient's record to calculate well established epidemiological breast cancer models. A computer-aided diagnosis system is also used in order to analyze each mammogram and obtain a certain risk percentage concerning whether the patient has to undergo biopsy or not. The aforementioned system has been implemented to support a large set of patient data (1,178 patients) which included detailed personal patient data, medical history and examination details per date and is used in the daily clinical practice of a breast cancer diagnostic center facilitating patient record retrieval, storage and supporting the doctor's decisions.

The human vision system is mimicked in the format of videos and images in the area of computer vision. As humans can process their memories, likewise video and images can be processed and perceptive with the help of computer vision technology. There is a broad range of fields that have great speculation and concepts building in the area of application of computer vision, which includes automobile, biomedical, space research, etc. The case study in this manuscript enlightens one about the innovation and future scope possibilities that can start a new era in the biomedical image-processing sector. A pre-surgical investigation can be perused with the help of the proposed technology that will enable the doctors to analyses the situations with deeper insight. There are different types of biomedical imaging such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computerized tomographic (CT) scan, x-ray imaging. The focused arena of the proposed research is x-ray imaging in this subset. As it is always error-prone to do an eyeball check for a human when it comes to the detailing. The same applied to doctors. Subsequently, they need different equipment for related technologies. The methodology proposed in this manuscript analyses the details that may be missed by an expert doctor. The input to the algorithm is the image in the format of x-ray imaging; eventually, the output of the process is a label on the corresponding objects in the test image. The tool used in the process also mimics the human brain neuron system. The proposed method uses a convolutional neural network to decide on the labels on the objects for which it interprets the image. After some pre-processing the x-ray images, the neural network receives the input to achieve an efficient performance. The result analysis is done that gives a considerable performance in terms of confusion factor that is represented in terms of percentage. At the end of the narration of the manuscript, future possibilities are being traces out to the limelight to conduct further research.

Abstract rris Wofford summed up the feelings of many Americans in his successful 1991 senatorial campaign when he said: “If criminals have a right to a lawyer, I think working Americans should have the right to a doctor.” Our health care system is sick and more than tinkering is required to fix it. Although we spend more money as both a percentage of gross national product and per capita on medical care than any other country in the world, we continue to have a nonsystem. Almost 40 million citizens, one-third of them children, are completely uninsured and are effectively rationed right out of the system. This inequity is no longer socially or ethically tolerable. Almost 90 percent of Americans agree that our health care system needs “fundamental change”; when compared to countries like Canada and En gland, our system has been accurately described as the most expensive, least well-liked, least equitable, and perhaps least efficient system of health care delivery in the world. It is wasteful, technologically-driven, death-denying, legalistic, and individualistic. The three major issues are how to control cost, maintain quality, and improve access. The policy problem we have consistently refused to ac knowledge is that all three of these issues must be dealt with simultaneously.

Full textAbstract:
Public affairs scholars have been concerned about the quality of education in their field for some decades. To assess the program quality, the authors analyzed the National Research Council's most recent data. In the comparative analyses between the public affairs programs and the programs in other social science disciplines, they found that public affairs doctoral programs were behind their peer fields on most of the input-based metrics (students fully funded in their first year of education, median quantitative GRE scores, and percentage of international students in programs) but ahead of them in student-faculty ratios. The results of the outcome-based metrics were mixed. Public affairs students graduated earlier on average, but smaller percentages of them had plans for employment in academic positions. Also, the faculty productivity was lower in public affairs programs compared to the other social science disciplines. Among the subfields of public affairs, public management and public policy had more favorable input- and outcome-based results compared to public administration.

This research presents the proposal for a low-cost digital spirometer called “Phukuy” that includes the following sensors: an oximeter that measures the percentage of oxygenation of the blood (SpO2) and the heart rate (bpm), a body and environmental thermometer, and a barometer. This spirometer will serve for the diagnosis and remote monitoring of people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD) including COVID; benefiting people who do not have a nearby health center; This will help decongest hospitals and prevent them from becoming an infectious source. In addition, all the information obtained from the measurements will be saved on a web platform, which can be accessed by a designated doctor. The proposed spirometer was validated with a 3-liter calibration syringe, obtaining an average error of 0.033 L (1.1%) and a maximum error of 0.070 L (2.33%), which is within the range recommended by SEPAR (± 3 %).

Feline sporotrichosis is a zoonosis caused by S. brasiliensis, and it presents a degree of great underreporting due to its contamination. Caused by inoculation directly into the skin, in most cases through scratches or bites by infected animals. With its first diagnosis in 1907 among naturally infected mice. The study presents information on the health of the animal, composed of 24 felines of both sexes, obtaining information through questionnaires about food along with vaccination, deworming, and ectoparasites control. In addition to depicting the types of injuries and body parts such as head, limbs, and trunk. Seeking to provide important information about animal health, along with the follow-up of a Veterinary Doctor. General care that meets the health of no animal meets all care. The disease may present some systemic symptoms such as secretions, anorexia, apathy, difficulty breathing, fever, ulcers, and abscesses. In the study, 4% of the cats had a respiratory clinical picture. Regarding the lesions, it was mostly noted that 96% of the felines had multiple lesions and 4% had single lesions in the areas of the body, being 67% of secretion with pure bloody characteristics and 33% had no secretions, with the main sites of involvement being 58% in the head region, 36% in the limbs and 6% in the trunk. Factors related to feline immunocompromise may result in more severe cases of sporotrichosis as observed in the study animals. All information obtained was evaluated using basic descriptive statistics. Relative frequency values and percentage values were assigned to the variables observed in the research.

Full textAbstract:
Gamifying employee training and development is becoming more and more attractive to companies from year to year. By using the right elements of gamification in employee training and development, HRM can identify the strengths and weaknesses of its employees. Training and development programs tailored to the needs of employees can be considered an effective tool for helping employees to transform their weaknesses into strength. The lack of information, research, and comparisons on the ways of gamifying employee training and development focused on employees’ soft skills and its effectiveness hinders its wider dissemination. In the article, we identify and describe different situational stories, when gamification is used by HRM to increase, develop employees’ soft skills such as: decision making, willingness to change, teamwork and resilience. We also measure the effectiveness of gamified employee training and development focused on their soft skills by comparing the percentage results before and after use of gamification in this area within bank „Technology “.

Full textAbstract:
Disadvantaged jobseekers make up a significant proportion of all jobseekers in Slovakia, mainly the long term unemployed, so it is interesting to examine whether the provided employment services contribute to raising their standard of living and make it easier to find employment in the labor market, which is not always welcoming disadvantaged groups. However, at a time when a high number of jobseekers are disadvantaged, it is important to look at the needs of these groups and try to motivate them through active labor market policies, while finding a way to bring them back to the labor market effectively and in the long term by finding suitable employment, which would help to improve their living situation. These groups usually meet with insufficient support from the state and the institutions in their efforts to solve their difficult life situation, because the institutions often provide only the necessary services for the groups. Therefore, the question arises as to whether it would not be necessary to focus on improving employment services for the given groups, as an increasing percentage of the population is among the disadvantaged.

Full textAbstract:
The digitization of society has significantly changed the tools that society uses in all aspects of life. One of them is the judiciary sector, where it has moved significantly from emails to video conferencing or from electronic files to blockchain. On the one hand, COVID-19 demonstrated possible improvements and led to the streamlining of activities in the judiciary, but on the other hand, it also showed significant differences between countries in their digitization progress. One of the recommended solutions to improve digital services is to increase the budget. Our correlation between the results of the ICT development index in courts and the percentage of ICT expenditure in courts shows that this factor is not sufficient. At the same time, it turns out that although the justice department is a subset of public administration and e-justice is a part of egovernment, there is no visible relation between them in the results of the various indices. A prerequisite for the implementation of e-justice is not only expenses for ICT, but also user education, i.e., court staff, which are complementary to each other. Ensuring the availability and fairness of the justice administration is an important factor in the rule of law that affects the perception of the country among investors.

Full textAbstract:
In order to improve the state of the environment, it is essential, that the issue of landfilling, as a significant environmental burden, becomes a priority, as well as activities leading to the removal of existing landfills and the prevention of new ones. The presented paper deals with landfilling as a significant environmental burden in Slovakia, in which we analyze the amount of waste produced in Slovakia, the forms of its management with a closer focus on the rate of landfilling of municipal waste for the period 2005 to 2020. The paper uses descriptive statistics as research methods, specifically frequencies, percentages, minimum and maximum values, dispersion and averages. In the results, the paper states, that the amount of generated waste (without municipal waste) in Slovakia increased by approximately 14,5 % during the period 2005 – 2019. By analyzing the rate of landfilling, it was found, that it has been one of the dominant ways of dealing with municipal waste in Slovakia for several years, despite the fact, that its rate decreased by almost 30 % from 2005 to 2020. It is necessary, that the issue of landfilling becomes a priority in the future, and it is also necessary to develop activities leading to the removal of existing landfills and the prevention of the creation of new ones. In the coming years, Slovakia must proceed with significant structural changes in waste management. One of the possible solutions is to withdraw from the prevailing landfilling and transform to other forms of disposal of waste.

Full textAbstract:
Medical imaging is one of common area that nowadays researchers uses human body images for clinical or medical science [1] [2]. Currently most of the diagnoses are performed by doctors after manual inspection of real time frames of the video generated by the respective medical imaging systems. In this paper, we propose to use digital image processing techniques in detection and categorization of the clogs in the arteries (stenosis/blockage) by using the frames generated from the X-ray angiography [3][4]. Utilized image pre-processing methods includes selecting a line of Interest (LOI) on blocked vessel and further selection of the region of interest (ROI) on that area, then automatically cropping the region of interest followed by Gaussian filtering for smoothing. In the post processing, three alternative methods are proposed to measure the stenosis in the vessel. The first method applies thresholding (Local) to extract the vessel of interest. The extracted vessel is analyzed for the calculation of the stenosis in percentage [5]. The second method utilizes segmentation (both edge-based and region-based) of the vessel tissue over the extracted pixels of ROI. The final method uses K-means clustering to differentiate between the vessel regions and non-vessel regions. Among the proposed methods K-means clustering based method outperforms the thresholding and segmentation methods.

In Brazil, as in other countries in the world, the percentage of elderlypeople has been increasing in recent decades. This fact ismainly caused by the drop in the birth rate and the increase in theaverage life span. As a result, health care for the elderly becomesincreasingly important. Adherence to drug treatment is a clinicalchallenge for doctors who serve this population. Very old peoplehave multiple illnesses and, consequently, they use multiple medications.Some also have impaired cognitive or sensory functions,such as visual pathologies or decreased motor skills. However, nonadherenceto drug treatment can lead to the emergence of newdiseases, hospitalizations or even death. This article presents the developmentof an intelligent device that has the function of assistingdrug management, seeking the well-being of the elderly. The deviceallows the registration of the time and interval of medication intakethrough a list of products, regulated by Anvisa, pre-registeredin the system and selected according to its format. After audibleand visual warnings, the medication is dispensed automatically,allowing the medication to be ingested at the appropriate time. Itis also possible to view a drug consumption report and registrationtimes. After testing, the developed prototype was effective for thepurpose for which it was designed. The encoder system, responsiblefor monitoring and controlling the position of the medicationcompartment disc, presented an average deviation of 0.0263 mm,which prevents the overlapping of pills. At the same time, samplesof medication availability at the scheduled times showed a zeroerror rate.
