Development of University Students’ Motivation with the Help of E-learning

The relevance of the study is due to the orientation of the modern model of education to the formation of a competitive creative personality with the need of continual self-improvement and self-development. It is possible due to the high level of the learning motivation of students and the motivation to acquire a future profession. It should be emphasized that e-learning has a considerable potential in this aspect. In this regard, this article is aimed to reveal the specifics of the use of e-learning means in the development of university students motivation. The article presents a series of lessons designed to develop students’ motivation, implemented by e-learning means. We elaborated a series of webinars (“I want to be an engineer – I want to be taught!”; "Information crystals" (effective information processing techniques), "Time Management Secrets," "Kaleidoscope of discoveries", "Jolly mathematics"); chats ("The engineer of the third millennium - the future engineer, who is he?", "Physics, Chemistry for Engineers: Myth and Reality"); the virtual round table - "The heritage of the past" (about great scientists, inventions and discoveries) and others. The article presents the ways of applying e-learning in the development of university students’ motivation. On one hand, it is the methodological basis of the training system; on the other hand, it provides the usage of scientific knowledge in the study of professional disciplines

Heart failure and diabetes mellitus: insight into comorbidity

Diabetes mellitus (DM) and heart failure (HF) are frequent comorbidities with a bidirectional relationship. Patients with HF have increased risk of developing DM, and those with DM are at greater risk of developing HF. HF does not fit clearly into the microangiopathy and macroangiopathy groups. It is known that coronary artery disease and arterial hypertension are the major causes of HF; however, it has been shown that DM can trigger functional and structural abnormalities in the myocardium via diabetic cardiomyopathy, a condition with either restrictive or dilated phenotype. While HF treatment is equally effective and safe in patients with and without DM, this statement is not applicable for antidiabetic treatment. Several antidiabetic drugs, such as rosiglitazone, pioglitazone and saxagliptin increase the risk of hospitalisation for HF, therefore these antidiabetic drugs are contraindicated in patients with DM and HF or patients at risk of developing HF. Despite a large number of clinical evidence, uncertainty about the safety of antidiabetic drugs in patients with HF always exists. In this review, the issues of DM treatment in patients with HF are addressed in detail

Analysis of the Studies Published on Business Strategy Game and Learning Strategic Management in the Web of Science Database

Although the variety of computer-based games offered for strategic management, ease of use and the number of games available in the market has decreased due to multiple factors, it has also increased. Depending on the criterion of the objectively measured learning outcomes, various games that have been studied to date yield higher results than those obtained by case approach as an alternative teaching strategy. Very little research has been conducted on factors that facilitate play, leading to effective learning outcomes in a business gaming environment. The general purpose of this research is to determine the work conducted on Business Strategy Game (BSG) and Learning Strategic Management. This study was conducted using qualitative research method, document analysis and related content analysis, studying the keywords ‘Business Strategy Game and Learning Strategic Management’ in the Web of Science database, based on the analysis of the documents. The studies in the Web of Science database were analysed according to years, the Web of Science categories, the research area, country/types and writing languages. The analysis of the studies in the Web of Science database for BSG and learning strategic management emerged with the resulting content. A total of 39 studies were carried out and it was concluded that the most common transactions were made in 2019. However, the first study was conducted in 1995. In the literature review, the year 2019 has the most reads, which were mostly published articles. According to the Web of Science field type, it is concluded that there are studies mostly in the Education and Educational Research field and it was also concluded that 38 of these studies were written in English

Global variations in heart failure etiology, management, and outcomes

Importance: Most epidemiological studies of heart failure (HF) have been conducted in high-income countries with limited comparable data from middle- or low-income countries. Objective: To examine differences in HF etiology, treatment, and outcomes between groups of countries at different levels of economic development. Design, Setting, and Participants: Multinational HF registry of 23 341 participants in 40 high-income, upper–middle-income, lower–middle-income, and low-income countries, followed up for a median period of 2.0 years. Main Outcomes and Measures: HF cause, HF medication use, hospitalization, and death. Results: Mean (SD) age of participants was 63.1 (14.9) years, and 9119 (39.1%) were female. The most common cause of HF was ischemic heart disease (38.1%) followed by hypertension (20.2%). The proportion of participants with HF with reduced ejection fraction taking the combination of a β-blocker, renin-angiotensin system inhibitor, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist was highest in upper–middle-income (61.9%) and high-income countries (51.1%), and it was lowest in low-income (45.7%) and lower–middle-income countries (39.5%) (P < .001). The age- and sex- standardized mortality rate per 100 person-years was lowest in high-income countries (7.8 [95% CI, 7.5-8.2]), 9.3 (95% CI, 8.8-9.9) in upper–middle-income countries, 15.7 (95% CI, 15.0-16.4) in lower–middle-income countries, and it was highest in low-income countries (19.1 [95% CI, 17.6-20.7]). Hospitalization rates were more frequent than death rates in high-income countries (ratio = 3.8) and in upper–middle-income countries (ratio = 2.4), similar in lower–middle-income countries (ratio = 1.1), and less frequent in low-income countries (ratio = 0.6). The 30-day case-fatality rate after first hospital admission was lowest in high-income countries (6.7%), followed by upper–middle-income countries (9.7%), then lower–middle-income countries (21.1%), and highest in low-income countries (31.6%). The proportional risk of death within 30 days of a first hospital admission was 3- to 5-fold higher in lower–middle-income countries and low-income countries compared with high-income countries after adjusting for patient characteristics and use of long-term HF therapies. Conclusions and Relevance: This study of HF patients from 40 different countries and derived from 4 different economic levels demonstrated differences in HF etiologies, management, and outcomes. These data may be useful in planning approaches to improve HF prevention and treatment globally
