5253Analysis of efficiency and performance of global retail supply chains using integrated fuzzy SWARA and fuzzy EATWOS methods  

The current paper aims to fill the two severe and significant gaps in the literature related to global retail chains. First, it presents the criteria set identified by performing comprehensive fieldwork together with experts highly experienced and have extensive knowledge of the retailing industry and a detailed literature review. Secondly, it proposes a robust, applicable, and powerful novel integrated MCDM framework dealing with many complicated uncertainties. As one of the significant practical and managerial implications, the current paper highlights the significance of sustainable retailing operations to better global retail chains. After the proposed model was implemented, a comprehensive sensitivity analysis was performed to test the validation of the model and its obtained results. According to the validation test results, A12 Walmart&ASDA has remained the best option for all scenarios. It has been observed that there are slight changes that did not change the overall results in the ranking performance of some decision alternatives. As a result, the analysis results prove that the proposed integrated fuzzy approach can be applied to solve highly complex decision-making problems encountered in various fields and the retailing industry.

5256Science and Technology Parks: Opening the Pandora's Box of Regional Development  

For the last decades, Science and Technology Parks (STPs) have been emerging to help in the development of regions; as a consequence, there has been an improvement in RIS (Regional Innovation System) performance. This research aims to assess the contribution of STPs to the performance improvement of RIS in Portugal. A quantitative methodology is used, based on a framework, which is supported by four latent variables: (1) Policy Instrument (PI); (2) Regional Innovation Inputs (INNI); (3) Regional Innovation Outputs (INNO), and (4) Regional Idiosyncrasies (REG). The data was collected from Regional Innovation Scoreboard reports available for the seven Portuguese regions: North, Center, Lisbon, Alentejo, Algarve, and Autonomous Regions of Azores and Madeira between 2007 and 2018. The working sample is composed of 392 observations. Our findings show a clear innovation delimitation in Portugal. The North, Center, and Lisbon areas are the areas that have strong innovation. The rest of the country has moderate innovation, including the autonomous regions. Nonetheless, an improvement in innovation was registered between 2016 and 2019 in all regions except Alentejo and Algarve. This aligns with the Policy Instrument’s positive influence on the Regional Innovation inputs, which positively influences the Regional Innovation Outputs. The outcome allowed practical suggestions for regional stakeholders. This research is original for its methodological approach, never applied to the Portuguese context.

5258In Between New Public Management and Network Governance in Austria, Finland and Scotland: Potential Conflicts in Autonomy Understandings of Governments and Universities  

The political science doctoral thesis project is focussing on comparing university policies with the background of different welfare state types: Austria as a conservative-corporatist, Finland as a social democratic and Scotland as a liberal welfare state. As universities are pre-constitutional entities, it seems to be legitimate to search for fit from welfare state policy-making with the practices of university steering. Here, I will present paradigm evidence of top-down-oriented New Public Management (NPM) and bottom-up-formed Network Governance (NG) at a macro-level, i.e. governance by the state. The paradigms connect with the theme of institutional autonomy, which differentiates into an academic, a financial, an organisational and a staffing aspect. As a result, I propose the following hypothesis for the cases of Austria, Finland and Scotland: NPM is present, but not dominant in higher education (HE) policies. More likely, NPM and NG appear simultaneously within the university policies of Austria, Finland and Scotland. How do these paradigms transfer within the institutions? In this article, a concept for this transfer of action in horizontal autonomy to actors in vertical autonomy through communication and through management committees’ interplay elaborates and, additionally, hypotheses formulate. The extent of the space for alternative paradigms to join the paradigm transfer game, for example, for Epistemic Governance (EG), might be larger, the higher the regulative density of university policies is. The borders of every paradigm in university policy, however, constitute with (a) strong welfare state traditions for governance and (b) strong university traditions for steering. Conservative-corporatist welfare state tradition as in Austria shows an inclination for university policy governance to be control-oriented, whereas social democratic welfare state tradition as in Finland relies on trust in university policy formulation (and implementation). It has to remain open how the liberal welfare state of Scotland would classify.

5263COVID-19 response in Southeast Asia: promoting healthcare quality through political engagement  

Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), a disease caused by coronavirus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, led to a pandemic that affected every region of the world. The World Health Organization South-East Asia Region (SEARO) is composed of 11 countries: Bangladesh, Bhutan, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, India, Indonesia, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Timor-Leste. Each of these countries faced different challenges in tackling COVID-19 depending upon their resources and health system. However, in general it was evidenced that no country was prepared to handle such a pandemic. Two strategies were adopted globally: closing the international borders and restricting movement within countries. These measures were adopted throughout the SEARO.

5267When fear about health hurts performance: COVID-19 and its impact on employee's work  

This study utilized terror management and conservation of resources theory to fulfill its aim of investigating the effects of fear of contamination of COVID-19 on performance of employees in the banking sector of Pakistan. A survey was conducted to collect data in two waves from 206 bank employees in Punjab region. SPSS was used for data analysis. The results demonstrated that such fear leads to emotional exhaustion which in turn negatively affects employee’s work performance. However, the perceptions of better precautionary measures taken by the organization against the spread of the disease moderated the said relationship and weakened the strength of fear on performance through emotional exhaustion. Amid the widespread fear, panic and detrimental effects of COVID-19 on organizations and economies of the worlds, this research has implications for policy makers by showing the importance of organizational measures taken and displayed to employees in decreasing the negative effects of extensive fear and uncertainty prevailing due to the pandemic.

5268Producing the Eurasian Land Bridge: a case study of the geoeconomic contestation in Kazakhstan  

What are the implications for emerging economies that become central to geoeconomic contestation between great powers? For Kazakhstan geoeconomic contestation is a tool for increasing importance and regional networking in the pursuit of becoming the Eurasian Land Bridge. Kazakhstan’s current multilateral approach to foreign affairs utilizes geoeconomic contestation in a unique way that benefits national interest, pushing local infrastructure and economic goals. This case study looks at the great power contestation in Kazakhstan to show the effect of geoeconomic contestation on pivot countries, where pivot countries create a relationship that is mutually beneficial rather than clientelist, dependent or exploitative. This study shows evidence supporting research on great power politics that suggests that geostrategic pivots have the agency and power to push national interests and can utilize its position to exert some control in its relationship with powerful states.

5269Synoviale Veränderungen bei Erkrankungen des rheumatologischen Formenkreises und Differenzialdiagnosen  

The investigation of alterations to synovial tissue can contribute to the diagnosis of joint and systemic diseases. The domain of histological diagnostics is important to differentiate tumorous and inflammatory conditions. Moreover, crystal arthropathies and certain metabolic diseases can be identified. The histological picture of granulomatous synovitis can be caused by a mycobacterial infection, sarcoidosis and foreign body reactions as well as rare genetic diseases. Furthermore, subtyping of amyloidosis is possible in the tunica synovialis. Molecular methods enable reliable and rapid diagnostics of septic arthritis and a subtyping of microorganisms. Additionally, reactive arthritis can also be classified by the identification of DNA or RNA of microorganisms in joint tissue or fluid. The diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis is based on the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria. Molecular methods, such as micro-RNA technology or proteomics methods can assist in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.

5270Analysis & prognosis of sustainable development goals using big data-based approach during COVID-19 pandemic  

The world has changed considerably in the previous two decades. Today, people are facing extreme poverty, global warming, and unwanted climate changes. The economic gap between countries is continuously growing. Moreover, with the expanding influence of technology, governance is getting more difficult. To address these issues, the UN announced Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also called Global Goals, in 2015. These goals fill in as an overall source of inspiration to annihilate poverty, protect the environment, and guarantee that all individuals live in harmony and thrive by 2030. The 17 SDGs are interconnected in that they recognize that activities in a single region sway result in others and that improvement should adjust to social, monetary, and natural sustainability. The SDGs intend to kill poverty, hunger, AIDS, and gender discrimination against women and girls. The COVID-19 epidemic, on the other hand, has hampered attempts to accomplish the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. As a result, the impact of these SDGs must be thoroughly studied and analyzed. As a result, the purpose of this research is to examine the SDG before and after Covid-19, as well as how they have influenced various national and international markets. The research also assesses the 17 SDGs in each of India's 29 states in depth. Since SDGs have a larger scope, this paper predicts the SDG-9 scores of few countries like UAE, New Zealand, Japan, India, Germany, China, Bhutan, and USA.

5271Visitor satisfaction and behavioral intentions in nature-based tourism during the COVID-19 pandemic: A case study from Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, China  

Nature-based tourism (NBT) has become a popular tool for developing countries to achieve economic growth by the non-destructive use of their natural resources. COVID-19 has caused severe financial impacts on tourism-dependent areas. Revitalizing NBT is needed for economic recovery in those regions and can also help deal with mental health issues worldwide. Zhangjiajie National Forest Park (ZNFP), the first national park created in China, was selected to examine the important factors that influence visitor satisfaction during the COVID-19 pandemic and the relationship between satisfaction and visitors' environmentally responsible behavior (ERB) intention. The authors collected 788 onsite and online questionnaires from visitors to ZNFP during June–September 2020. This paper reveals previously underestimated factors and offers practical applications for park development at ZNFP and other NBT destinations. Visitors had a high level of satisfaction with the natural scenery of the park but were relatively dissatisfied with price reasonableness, park services, activities and events, and artificial attractions. Younger visitors, especially students, and well-educated visitors looking for environmental education opportunities tended to have lower satisfaction rates. Visitor satisfaction may have a positive but limited influence on promoting visitors' ERB intentions. We propose group-specific strategies for national park managers to attract more visitors and increase their length of stay.

Introduction L’augmentation des fibrocytes circulants est associée à un mauvais pronostic dans les maladies fibrosantes pulmonaires. Notre objectif était de quantifier les fibrocytes circulants chez les patients hospitalisés pour pneumopathie à SARS-CoV-2 et de déterminer leur valeur pronostique. Méthodes Les fibrocytes circulants (CD45+/CD15-/CD34+/Collagène-1+) ont été quantifiés en cytométrie de flux chez des patients hospitalisés pour pneumopathie à SARS-CoV-2 et des sujets sains. Les fibrocytes ont été quantifiés dans le sang et dans le lavage broncho-alvéolaire (LBA) chez des patients de réanimation. Les concentrations de Serum Amyloid P (SAP), TGF-β1, CXCL12 et CCL2 ont été mesurées dans le sérum. Les fibrocytes ont été détectés par immunofluorescence (double marquage CD45 et vimentine) sur des échantillons pulmonaires de patients. Résultats Cinquante-sept patients hospitalisés (âge médian 59 ans [23–87]) et 16 contrôles sains ont été inclus. Le % médian de fibrocytes circulants était augmenté chez les patients par rapport aux témoins (3,6 % [0,2–9,2] vs. 2,1 % [0,9–5,1], p =0,04). Le % de fibrocytes circulants était diminué chez les patients décédés pendant l’hospitalisation par rapport aux survivants (1,6 % [0,2–4,4] vs. 3,7 % [0,6–9,2], p =0,02). Un % de fibrocytes circulants initial plus élevé était retrouvé chez les patients présentant une résolution complète des lésions scanographiques à 3 mois. Chez les patients de réanimation, le taux de fibrocytes circulants était diminué (0,8 % [0,1–2,0], n =7) alors qu’il était de 6,7 % [2,2–15,4] dans le LBA. Les concentrations sériques de SAP et de TGF-β1 étaient augmentées chez les patients hospitalisés. La SAP était également augmentée chez les patients de réanimation. Les concentrations de CXCL12 et CCL2 étaient augmentées chez les patients de réanimation et étaient négativement corrélées au taux de fibrocytes circulants. Des fibrocytes étaient retrouvés sur des échantillons pulmonaires de deux patients positifs pour le SARS-CoV-2. Conclusions Le taux de fibrocytes circulants était augmenté chez les patients hospitalisés pour pneumopathie à SARS-CoV-2 et était associé à une résolution scannographique complète à 3 mois. Un taux de fibrocytes circulants diminué était associé à une augmentation de la sévérité clinique et du risque de décès.

5274SARS-COV-2 infection causes massive lung-cell senescence  

INTRODUCTION: Older age is an important risk factor for severe COVID-19 disease. Understanding the biological mechanisms that link aging to the pathogenesis of COVID-19 is essential for developing of therapeutic strategies. We hypothesized that cell senescence, a basic aging process that plays a pivotal role in lung diseases, is involved in the pathogenesis of COVID-19 including the development of long-lasting lung alterations. METHODS: To evaluate the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on cell senescence, we (1) analyzed publicly available datasets of scRNA-seq performed in BALF cells from patients with moderate or severe/critical COVID-19; (2) investigated lung samples from cynomolgus macaques infected with 10(6) pfu of a SARS-CoV-2 clinical isolate. Two macaques were sacrificed at 4 days post-infection (dpi.) and two others at 30 dpi. RESULTS: In BALF obtained within 10 days after symptom onset, the expression of several senescence markers, i.e., CDKN2A, CDKN1A (encoding p21), uPAR, CXCL8, IGFBP3, and GDF15 was significantly increased in epithelial cells in BALF from patients with severe COVID-19, suggesting that lung-cell senescence induction was contemporary of viral detection. Next, we investigated macaques at 4 and 30 dpi, corresponding respectively to the viral load peak and to the absence of detectable viral RNA in BALF (1). Immunohistochemical analysis revealed numerous SARS-CoV-2 antigen-stained cells, also co-stained for senescence markers p16- and p21. The lungs at 30 dpi no longer contained the consolidated parenchymal areas seen at 4 dpi but showed extensive lung parenchyma remodelling, with thickening of the alveoli and pulmonary vessel walls and abundant extracellular matrix deposits as assessed by collagen staining. These lesions were accompanied with massive accumulation of p16- and p21-positive cells, mostly pneumocytes II and ECs. Of note, p16 staining of most ECs was seen in pulmonary vessels, notably those occluded by thrombosis and showing intraluminal vWF staining. Cells stained for p16 were alsostained for the DNA damage markers γ-H2AX protein and p53-binding protein [1]. CONCLUSIONS: Our data constitute the first evidence of temporal and topographic relations between senescent-cell accumulation and pulmonary lesions induced by SARS-CoV-2 infection.

5275Credit financing and channel encroachment: analysis of distribution choice in a dual-channel supply chain  

Supply chain finance plays a significant role in alleviating capital shortage, which optimizes supply chain performance. In this paper, we discuss the interaction of credit financing and channel encroachment in a dual-channel supply chain structure consisting of a supplier and a retailer. Under the Stackelberg structure, we observe the interaction between credit financing and channel encroachment is heavily dependent on the substitution degree, potential online market, and production cost. Intuitively, the supplier is more likely to choose trade credit financing, except in the case where both the potential online market, substitution degree, and production cost are small; under these conditions, bank credit financing may be an equilibrium strategy. As long as the production cost is below a certain threshold, the supplier will choose the trade credit financing strategy.

5276Exploring the perceived benefits of ethics education for laboratory professionals  

Clinical laboratories face ethical challenges on a daily basis. The ethics training provided for clinical laboratory staff is variable, with some receiving no training. We aimed to explore the perceived benefits of ethics education for laboratory professionals. Ethics training was provided to approximately 60 laboratory professionals in a UK not-for-profit blood cancer organisation, with group discussions incorporated into the session. The session covered dominant ethical theories and principles, the defining moments in medical research ethics and the ethical aspects of laboratory practices. At the end of the session a short optional paper survey was distributed to the participants to obtain feedback on the training. The feedback was anonymous and thematically coded. Attendees reported to be more aware of the existence and importance of ‘everyday’ ethics in their workplace. Responses also showed that the training session had provided participants with an opportunity for ethical reflection in themselves and in discussion with their colleagues. Despite clinical laboratory professionals being faced with ethical challenges daily, there is comparatively little ethics education provided. Ethics training is believed to improve the ethical attitude of laboratory staff and help them when making decisions in their work. We have shown that ethics education is important for laboratory professionals to develop and retain ethical awareness, and ethical reflection. By gaining insight into the ethical aspects of their practices, laboratory professionals can apply this understanding when faced with making challenging decisions in their workplace, in order to act in the best interests of their patients.

5287Speaking Truth to Power and Power to Truth: Reflections from the Pandemic  

The complex relationship between science and politics has been a perennial issue in public administration. In this debate it is important to distinguish between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ politics, and between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ science. The Covid-19 pandemic has valorised the importance of science in shaping governmental responses, and has tended to contrast politics negatively with science. However, technocratic approaches to policymaking downplay the importance of politics in policymaking. Two case studies, of countries where there have been markedly different pandemic outcomes are used to illustrate the relationship between science and politics during this public health crisis – New Zealand and Brazil. In New Zealand there has been a positive and effective, if technocratic, relationship between science and politics, while in Brazil the relationship between the two domains has been fraught.

A number of behavioral economic insights suggest we will tend to overreact, individually and collectively, to a new, serious, but low probability health threat, like Covid 19. To respond more effectively to such threats, we should recognize why we will tend to overreact and prepare in advance not to do so. We also should recognize the usefulness in giving lower level governments, non-profits, and less formal communities some ability to respond, rather than presuming we should address a significant threat like Covid using the highest level of government.

5289Financial inclusion and green economic performance for energy efficiency finance  

Financial inclusion is fundamental for increasing the nation’s performance and green economy has emerged as one of the dominant factors to ecological sustainability, but how will these two factors connect? This research analyzes the correlation between the two in the case of China, which is undergoing a transformation to a green economy, using state-level statistics from 2008 to 2020 to evaluate the connection between financial inclusion and the green economy. By taking into account the fast-expanding technology banking system, as well as the application of the minimum distance to the weak efficient frontier framework (MinDw), a comprehensive assessment of financial inclusion is created, as is an assessment of green economic productivity. The findings show that the expansion of financial inclusion may contribute to increased green economic proficiency, which is primarily achieved via the tightening of credit restrictions on carbon emitting companies. The results have more consequences for the implementation of a financial development strategy and the maintenance of healthy associations between the state, banking institutions, and businesses.

5293We got you covered: Contextualizing industry insurance practices and the response to Covid-19  

In response to Covid-19, media industries have increasingly relied upon insurance to manage risks to health and productivity loss surrounding creative labor. Analysis of contemporary trade journals reveals how the pandemic prompted new urgency around the question of who could get coverage, both by health plans protecting individual workers and cast insurance policies protecting employers. While Covid-19 risks are global in nature, the lack of universal health care exacerbated precarity in US media industries especially, where these two insurance practices overlap: medical coverage depends on the ability to work, which can depend on whether employers can insure their investment in that creative labor. Thus, struggles over insurance must be contextualized within historical discourses that made insurability legible within professional media work cultures. Ultimately, this analysis reveals how corporate media cultures calculate loss and mortality, marking some, but not all, as worthy of status, investment, or protection.

5294Biosensors-based approaches for other viral infection detection  

Contamination and infection due to viruses are one of the major reasons for diseases amounting to hundreds of thousands of deaths every year. In recent years, several novels and reemerging viral diseases have seen an outstanding rise in occurrence like coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) which has arguably altered the socioeconomic strata and also pointed out the shortcomings in medical biology and diagnostics at a global scale. The overwhelming burden of global infection numbers exceeded expectations from federal healthcare programs and medical facilities. The current situation pointed out that the cost of reliable tests is disproportionately high in case of frequent repetition of tests on one person. Also, the speed of distribution, implementation, and evaluation of tests are unsatisfactory in the current situation, both technically and logistically. Viruses are nonliving obligate parasites and require living host cells to replicate and propagate. Due to their error-prone replication mechanism and fast mutations, the protective layers and mechanisms change quickly, thus helping them to evade immune reactions in the host cell. This has led to reemergence and also establishing new virus strains. Medicinal biology and conventional diagnostic practices are now facing a challenging task to upkeep with the pace of these occurrences. Therefore to improve the quality of detection and to help in the reduction of cost, major advancements are required in the detection techniques to better prepare the healthcare system for a similar novel virus infection in the future.

5296The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 epidemic and pandemic  

In the history of travel and tourism, a microscopic creature wrote a dark note, which interrupted the fast pace of globalization. In December 2019, in the seafood market of Wuhan city of China, a severe viral pneumonia-like infection was initiated, and which was new to the world and resulted in the emergence of a global health emergency. Thousands of passengers traveled through the city without knowing that one travel can change not only their lives but the future of the world. When WHO declared the severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak as a global emergency, still no one thought of the conversion of the epidemic in the worst pandemic of the ongoing decade. Initially, the spread of SARS-CoV-2 infection over a wide area with a lot of patients at the same time declared it as a global epidemic, but the rapid escalation of the infection at more comprehensive geographical locations with a significant portion of the infected population soon turned the epidemic into the pandemic. The imported cases soon spread to their native places and turn the disease pandemic. While many countries are imposing partial or complete lockdown for the safety of travelers and civilians, the vacant human-made spaces and tourist architectures are asking that where the lacunae were, which has put the globe in such a devastating phase. The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 created a colossal health crisis for the entire world. From a provincial health concern to a global meltdown, the impact of SARS-CoV-2 has undeniably impacted the world medically, socially, financially, and psychologically. The footprints of SARS-CoV-2 are impactfully imprinted on the decade that will require a lot of time for global recovery.

5297Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on road freight transportation-A Colombian case study  

The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc worldwide, with profound economic, environmental, and social implications. Fears about the economic situation have called attention to freight transportation performance as a derivative economic development demand. It is critical to economic growth, especially in industrialized countries with a strong positive relationship to road transport. The empirical evidence in developing countries, such as Colombia, showed that economic growth has had linked to road freight transport regardless of comparisons with other economic sectors. Thie main objective of the paper is to assess the impact caused by the COVID-19 restrictions on freight transport by road to depict the challenge between freight transport performance and economic growth. The total freight transported in 2020 was predicted based on a time series analysis considering the system's performance. As a result, in 2020, the ton of freight transported became only 40% of the predicted freight in the most critical month. The analysis can help planners implement policies to improve freight transport behavior and react during future economic downturns. Events such as the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrate that freight transportation must be fast and flexible, is crucial to act in the short term, and consider the long-term recovery. In addition, cooperation among the various economic sectors' stakeholders must be necessary.

5298Les dispositifs groupaux à l'hôpital et en EHPAD durant la crise de la Covid-19. Quelles demandes, quelles offres, quels apports ?  

Introduction: La crise de la COVID-19 a exacerbé la demande de dispositifs groupaux dédiés aux soignants et aux personnels hospitaliers et médicosociaux. Objectif: Cet article souhaite faire apparaître, par la synthèse de multiples retours d’expérience de dispositifs groupaux menés par des psychologues cliniciennes et chercheuses durant la pandémie de la COVID-19, les enjeux de l’ouverture de dispositifs groupaux, entre offre et demande, ainsi que leurs principaux apports et limites organisationnels et psychologiques. Méthode: Six chercheuses-cliniciennes se sont réunies pour échanger sur leurs expériences vécues lors de la mise en place de dispositifs groupaux. L’analyse des retours d’expérience s’est faite au moyen des concepts de la psychodynamique du travail et de la psychanalyse des groupes, permettant de faire ressortir les caractéristiques organisationnelles et psychologiques des dispositifs groupaux dédiés aux professionnels. Résultats: Nos résultats mettent en évidence que le dispositif groupal, en permettant le partage des éprouvés, aide la reconnaissance mutuelle entre professionnels, et donc de nouvelles identifications afin d’éviter la fragmentation des collectifs de travail. Le point le plus central semble être la capacité des dispositifs de groupe à traiter l’agressivité et la colère ressenties face à l’impuissance à agir dans des situations de crise. Les limites de ces groupes concernent leur difficulté à laisser s’exprimer des paroles individuelles plutôt que collectives, et le risque d’être le terrain d’une répétition du trauma pour les professionnels qui attaquent ou fuient parfois ces dispositifs, par peur de ce qu’ils pourraient faire ressurgir. Conclusion: Plusieurs points de vigilance et préconisations des expériences rapportées dans cet article sont explicités, afin d’éclairer et guider les futurs meneurs de dispositifs de groupe construits avec et pour les professionnels du champ sanitaire. Introduction: The COVID-19 crisis has exacerbated the demand for group arrangements dedicated to healthcare professionals and more widely hospital and medicosocial staff. Objective: This article attempts to shhed light on the issues at stake in the opening of group settings, between supply and demand, as well as their main organizational and psychological contributions and limitations, through the synthesis of multiple feedbacks from group arrangements carried out by clinical psychologists and researchers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: Six female researcher-clinicians met to discuss their experiences in setting up group care facilities. The analysis of the feedback used the concepts of work psychodynamics and group psychoanalysis, making it possible to bring out the organizational and psychological characteristics of group arrangements dedicated to professionals in the healthcare sector. Results: Our results show that the group arrangement, by allowing the sharing of experiences, helps the mutual recognition between professionals, and thus new identifications in order to avoid the fragmentation of work collectives. The most central point seems to be the capacity of group arrangements to deal with the aggressiveness and anger felt when facing the powerlessness to act in crisis situations. The limits of these groups concern their difficulty in allowing individual rather than collective words to be expressed, and the risk of being the site of a repetition of the trauma for the professionals who sometimes attack or flee from these mechanisms, for fear of what they might bring back to the surface. Conclusion: Several points of vigilance and recommendations from the experiences reported in this article are explained, in order to enlighten and guide future group facilitators when offering group arrangements built with and for professionals in the healthcare field.

5299Hematological indices in pediatric patients with acyanotic congenital heart disease: a cross-sectional study of 248 patients  

BACKGROUND: Congenital heart disease CHD is a significant cause of mortality and morbidity in children worldwide. Patients with congenital heart disease may develop hematological problems, including thrombocytopenia and neutropenia. In addition, several studies indicate the higher frailty of patients with CHDs to infections and malignancies. Nevertheless, the mechanisms of immune system changes in these patients have remained in the shadow of uncertainty. Moreover, very few studies have worked on cytopenia in CHD. This study has assessed the frequency of thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, lymphopenia, and anemia in pediatric patients with acyanotic congenital heart disease ACHD prior to open-heart surgery. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was handled in the Pediatric Cardiology Clinic, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, during pre-operation visits from 2014 till 2019. Two hundred forty-eight children and adolescents with acyanotic congenital heart disease before open-heart surgery met the criteria to enter the study. RESULTS: A total of 191 (76.7%) patients with Ventricular Septal Defects (VSD), 37 (14.85%) patients with Atrial Septal Defects (ASD), and 20 (8.11%) patients with Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) were enrolled in this study. The median age was 23.87 months. Thrombocytopenia and neutropenia were found, respectively, in 3 (1.2) and 23 (9.2%) patients. Hemoglobin level and lymphocyte count were significantly lower in patients with neutropenia than patients with normal neutrophil count (P value = 0.024 and P value = 0.000). Significant positive correlations were found between neutropenia and anemia. There were no correlations between neutrophil count and Platelets. Also, anemia was found in 48 patients (19.3%). The study also found a statistically significant correlation between the co-existence of VSD and neutropenia in the patients (P value = 0.000). CONCLUSION: Although most were mildly neutropenic, there was a significant correlation between neutropenia and Ventricular Septal Defect compared to PDA and ASD groups. Regarding the importance of neutropenia to affect the prognosis of congenital heart defects in infections, it is important to consider further studies on the status of immune system function in these patients.
