ABSTRACT
La educación de postgrado de la neurocirugía en Argentina ha sido una preocupación constante desde el inicio de la especialidad. Actualmente las organizaciones activas en educación de postgrado son la Asociación Argentina de Neurocirugía y el Colegio Argentino de Neurocirujanos. Ambas consideran que la residencia médica es el sistema de formación más apropiado para que un médico recién graduado pueda convertirse en un especialista. Para regular y organizar el desarrollo pedagógico de las mismas se diseñó un marco de referencia en donde se establecieron los estándares a alcanzar, junto con un programa de acreditación para lograr la homogeneidad de los parámetros de calidad, y además se crearon becas junto con el reglamento para su acreditación, para completar la formación en aquellos aspectos que durante la residencia no fueron suficientemente desarrollados. Como la certificación profesional es obligatoria para ejercer se crearon cursos ad hoc que constituyen la base teórica tanto para neurocirugía general como la cirugía de columna. Los postulantes deben completar una serie de requisitos y transitar por diferentes instancias de formación que incluyen, además, la residencia. Para mantener la calidad de la atención médica se creó un programa de revalidación o recertificación periódica. Toda la situación actual fue sometida a un análisis de sus fortalezas, oportunidades, debilidades y amenazas para diseñar las estrategias que permitan mejorarla(AU)
Postgraduate education in neurosurgery has been a constant concern since the beginning of the specialty. Currently active organizations in postgraduate education are the Asociación Argentina de Neurocirugía y el Colegio Argentino de Neurocirujanos. Both consider that medical residency is the most appropriate training system for a recently graduated doctor to become a specialist. To regulate and organize their pedagogical development, a reference framework was designed where the standards to be achieved were established, along with an accreditation program to achieve homogeneity of quality parameters, and fellowships were also created along with the regulations. for its accreditation, to complete the training in those aspects that were not sufficiently developed during the residency. Since professional certification is mandatory to practice, ad hoc courses were created that constitute the theoretical basis for both general neurosurgery and spinal surgery. Applicants must complete a series of requirements and go through different training instances that also include residence. To maintain the quality of medical care, a periodic revalidation or recertification program was created. The entire current situation was subjected to an analysis of its strengths, opportunities, weaknesses and threats to design strategies to improve it(AU)

ABSTRACT
@#Introduction: Due to the increasing rate of drug prices and overall healthcare inflation, stakeholders from the pharmaceutical industry and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are voicing their concerns about the possible reciprocal effects in the long run. Drug price controls (DPCs) regulation is crucial to ensure affordability and indirectly reduce congestion in public healthcare facilities. This study aims to identify the SWOT analysis of the DPCs in Malaysia and how it will impact the drug supply chain. Methods: The study adopted a subjective environmental scanning method and a SWOT analysis tool to examine the Malaysian pharmaceutical DPCs in the healthcare supply chain (HSC) ecosystem through both intrinsic and extrinsic perspectives. Results: The immediate effect of DPCs would be beneficial, especially to the patients and the government. Balancing the right amount of control and liberalization of the market is seen to be the biggest factor contributing to the policy’s effect on the drug supply chain. The main concern would be the long-term effect as mixed results are coming from a group of countries that had implemented a similar policy. Conclusion: Notwithstanding the qualitative methodology of the paper, the findings could provide a better understanding of the price of drugs in Malaysia’s HSC and serve as a foundation for future studies. This paper proposes a new way to diversify the DPCs economy by entering the HSC chain industry.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To explore the application and effectiveness of holistic nursing based on SWOT in platelet collection at blood stations. 【Methods】 SWOT analysis was used to analyze the causes of adverse reactions to blood donation in platelet donors, put forward countermeasures and take holistic nursing measures.

ABSTRACT
At present, the legal, ethical and social issues involved in clinical nursing research have attracted increasing attention. This paper used SWOT analysis to explore the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and challenges of nursing staff’s cognition of research ethics. The results showed that the internal factors of nursing staff’s cognition of research ethics mainly come from the factors of nurses themselves, nurse interpersonal relationship, the relationship between nurses and subjects, and the hospital factors. The external factors mainly rise from the social level, university education level, information technology application level. Therefore, to enhance nurses’ cognition of nursing research ethics, internal and external factors need to be taken into account, including improving the system of nursing scientific research ethics governance, enhancing the system protection of nursing scientific research ethics governance, strengthening the review and supervision of nursing scientific research ethics, and deeply developing the education and publicity of scientific research ethics.

ABSTRACT
In the process of preventing and controlling the COVID-19, China′s system of community-level governance has achieved remarkable results. The authors focused on the public health committee of Beijing village(neighborhood) committee, using a semi-structured interview survey and literature search to collect relevant information and conducted a SWOT analysis of the public health committee. The strengths of the public health committee and the priorities and difficulties of its development were explored. The analysis results showed that the main strengths and opportunities of the public health committees were the promotion of its development, while the main problems and challenges were the lack of appropriate operational mechanisms, inadequate staffing, and the lack of retention of staff due to an inadequate remuneration system. In order to reduce the fragmentation of community public health governance, it is necessary not only to strengthen the centralized and unified leadership of the Communist Party of China, but also to promote positive interaction between social governance and residents′ self-governance, and to form a good pattern of joint construction, governance and sharing, as well as to improve the professionalism of public health committee staff and improve the salary allocation system, so as to ensure that the committee can play its role as a " bridge and link" .
