Žmogiškųjų išteklių informacinio valdymo problemos ir sprendimo ypatumai

The current article explores one of the traditional management functional areas of enterprises—human resources management and its multi-component information environments, components. The traditional enterprises, usually manufacturing-oriented enterprises, controlled according to the functions of the activity, when many operating divisions is specialized in carrying out some certain tasks, functions (i.e. every department or unit is focused on the specific information technology applications which are not integrated). But quick changes in the modern activity environment fosters enterprises to switch from the classical functional management approaches (i.e. non-effective databases that are of marginal use, duplicative of one another, and operational systems that cannot adequately provide important information for enterprise control) towards more adaptive, contemporary information processing models, knowledge-based enterprises, process management (i.e. a computer-aided knowledge bases, automatic information exchange, structured and metadata-oriented way). As mentioned above, are the databases now really becoming increasingly unmanageable, non-effective? Slow information processing not only costs money, but also endangers competitiveness and makes users unhappy. However, it should be noted that every functional area, group of users of the enterprise, have their specific, purpose, subjects and management structure, otherwise they have different information needs, requirements. Therefore, organizational information systems need be constantly maintained and applied to their surroundings This article presents and critically analyzes the theoretical, practical aspects of the human resources or employee and information management, i.e. the first introduces 1) the major problems of information management (e.g., data integration and interoperability of systems, why business users often don’t have direct access to the important business data); 2) the process of formation, generation of the business process, business information flows and information structure (information system) and its development; and finally examines 3) the possible changes in the information infrastructure of the human resource development sector—presenting a general framework of an enterprise’s human resource information system, based on the meta-data management model and the usage associated with it (e.g., discovery, extraction, acquisition, distribution). Nowadays, human resources management is being renewed in enterprises and becoming one of the fundamental functions of activity management. Unfortunately, most business and industrial enterprises in the country often lack the capacity to effectively manage (identify, collect, store, manage) its real information resources, and lack the ability to perform systems analysis, modelling, re-building or re-engineering of legacy applications, activity processes. This article presents several relatively simple, practical, but effective techniques (specific adaptations of technologies) that allow an increase in the effectiveness of the information systems; continually improving, reviewing, controlling the existing data in the databases, [...]Tikslas – teoriškai ir praktiškai išnagrinėti bei informacinių technologijų kontekste įvertinti žmogiškųjų išteklių veiklos procesų ir informacijos valdymą, pokyčius.

Metažinių svarba įmonių veiklos ir informacijos valdymui

The article analyzes meta-modeling—the trend of information systems’ engineering and its problems. An important feature of modern organization systems is the handling of information systems while exploiting, supporting and using certain organization processes. Knowledge (and meta-knowledge) is becoming a key component in information systems as well as an important resource for enterprise. In order to adapt to modern business conditions it is necessary to unanimously manage all enterprise activity processes; and information sharing is inevitably necessary within an enterprise as well as while communicating with business partners. Therefore enterprises should improve their business processes (business information) and manage them efficiently through the proper use of resources. In essence, information processes could be best described through the description of their role and purpose in implementing data storage processes, analyzing different processes in organization and the relationship between them. Each organization has its specifics, subjects and structure, therefore organizational information systems need be applied to the surrounding. From the point of view of the information process management, each organization is a net of related and interactive processes. Every organization should understand these processes to be able to improve and optimize them. Activity modeling helps to optimize the organization structure and activity, brings clarity, and aids in achieving the outstanding activity targets. Information about organization processes – consumers’ informational requirements that are accumulated in the activity models – becomes the structure of meta-knowledge that is the basis for different information systems’ solutions. To ensure the full informational flow to the company it is advisable to identify all possible resources and classify them. Organizations have to shape and analyze activity processes, i.e. make descriptions of real activity processes that could help understand the compatibility of all company levels. Today, enterprises need an integrated view of data quality and metaknowledge management, which can help to improve the sequence and consistency of the data obtained as well as business rules. In such a way, the circumstance-based enterprise decisions will be based on the only true version. Nowadays, each enterprise should aim for straightforward processing of the constantly increasing amounts of information, within as short an amount of time time as possible, meeting today’s information requirements.Tikslas – ištirti ir atskleisti žinių įtaką įmonių veiklai bei joms valdyti reikalingos funkcinės informacinės sistemos poreikį; metažinių, kaip svarbaus veiksnio, siekiant veiklos ir informacijos valdymo kokybės, naudingumą ir panaudojimo galimybes. Metodologija – 1) mokslinės literaturos, straipsnių analizė, grafinis duomenų vaizdavimas, modeliavimas – veiklos valdymo problemoms informaciniu aspektu apžvelgti bei žinių ir metažinių vaidmeniui informacinėje veikloje aptarti ir įvertinti; 2) dokumentų ir empirinio tyrimo rezultatų analizė – informacinių personalo valdymo procesų, siekiant atskleisti šios funkcinės srities informacinės veiklos problemas ir numatyti gerinimo galimybes; nustatyti metažinių šaltinius, atskleisti jų įtaką informacinei veiklai, parodyti jų vietą informaciniame modelyje

Evaluation of pain and discomfort experienced by patients enduring treatment with orthodontic mini implants

Relevance of the problem: Orthodontic treatment using skeletal anchorage with mini-implants has become a conventional technique. Lack of knowledge about this minimally invasive procedure can result in patients’ anxiety and poor degree of cooperation with orthodontist. The aim of the study: To investigate the patients’ experience of pain and discomfort after insertion of orthodontic mini-implants. Material and methods: Permission for investigation was comfirmed by LUHS Bioethical center. Totally 35 patients were enrolled in this study. All of them received orthodontic treatment with mini implants, which was performed in the clinic of Orthodontics at Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (LUHS) and private practice “Odontologijos Praktikos Centras” in the period of Semptember 2019 to February 2020. Data was collected using a questionnaire, which evaluated pain, discomfort, analgesic consumption and impact on daily activities experienced by patients on the first, second and third day after mini implant placement. Visual analog scale (VAS) was used. Data analysis was performed using Statistica 13.3. Results. Patients reported low level of pain and discomfort during mini implant placement with a mean score of 1,1±1,8 (VAS). Significantly more analgesics were consumed during first day after procedure than during third day (p<0,05). 51,4 % of patients experienced difficulties with chewing food; 20,0 % – with yawning and 17,1 % – with talking. 54,3 % of patients reported having difficulties with ability to chew nuts (on the second day after procedure), 45,7 % of patients – meat (on the first day after procedure) and 39,3 % - raw vegetables (on the first and second day after procedure). Significantly more patients reported having difficulties with ability to chew raw vegetables on the third day after procedure than on the other days of procedure (p<0,05). Conclusions. Treatment with orthodontic mini implants causes moderate pain or no pain at all but can result in discomfort on daily activities

Detection of Bartonella spp. in Lithuanian red deer (cervus elaphus) population

Iki šių dienų Lietuvoje dar mažai tyrinėtas Bartonella spp. paplitimas tauriųjų elnių populiacijoje. Šis patogenas į gyvūno organizmą patenka iš kraują siurbiančių vektorių, tokių kaip blusos, utelės, erkės ir musės. Žinoma, kad Bartonella bakterijos gali nesukelti jokių simptomų ar sukelti tik nežymius organizmo pakitimus, tačiau yra ir tokių patogeno rūšių kurių dauginimasis ir pasekmės apkrėstajam žinduoliui gali baigtis mirtimi. Šiame moksliniame darbe, ištyrėme 99 tauriųjų elnių mėginius, kurie buvo gauti iš medžiotojų sumedžiotų gyvūnų, 2015-2017 metais. Kadangi didžiausia tikimybė aptikti bakteriją yra kraujotakos sistemoje, dažniausiai naudodavome elnių blužnis, iš kurių pagal specialią metodiką skirdavome DNR. Vėliau DNR gausinome PGR metodu naudodami Bartonella pradmenis: WITS-F, WITS-R, Bh311-332-F, ITS-R. Mėginius vizualizavome 1,5 % agarozės gelyje ir paruošėme sekvenavimui Olandijos sekvenavimo centre. Gautas mėginių sekas analizavome Mega7 programa, lyginome su genų banke esančiais įrašais naudojant BLAST sistemą ir ieškojome rūšių atitikmenų. Lietuvos tauriųjų elnių populiacijoje buvo identifikuotos trys Bartonella rūšys: Bartonella schoenbuchensis, Bartonella chomelii ir Bartonela bovis. Mūsų tyrimas patvirtina, kad patogeno paplitimas Lietuvoje yra didelis.The bacteria belonging to the genus Bartonella are parasites of the red blood cells of wild and domestic mammals and also humans. The bacteria are mainly transmitted by haematophagous arthropods, such as fleas, lice, mites, or flies. Up to now, little notice has been given to prevalence of Bartonella spp. among the wild animals in Lithuania. It is known that bacteria Bartonella might not cause any symptoms and only influence minor organism changes. However, some species of pathogens might cause fatal consequences to infected mammals. Spleen and blood samples were collected from 99 red deer (Cervus elaphus) hunted in 2015 - 2017 in Lithuania and screened for Bartonella DNA. Bartonella DNA was detected by using primers complementary to the intergenic spacer (ITS) between the 16S and 23S rRNA genes, which is used for identification of different species of this genus. PCR product were loaded into a 1.5% agarose gel containing ethidium bromide and then visualized on a UV transilluminator. The PCR amplicons were purified and sequenced in the sequencing center of the Netherlands. The sequences of red deer isolates were edited and aligned with the ITS sequences from GenBank of other Bartonella species using program MEGA7. The multiple alignment was used to generate a phylogenetic tree. Tree species of Bartonella were indicated: Bartonella schoenbuchensis, Bartonella chomelii and Bartonella bovis. Our data confirm that Bartonella spp. can be found in red deer in Lithuania, and the prevalence of this pathogen is very high
