ABSTRACT
Los avances científicos han facilitado la difusión del conocimiento, encontrándose los más recientes hallazgos rápidamente en Internet, esto ha producido la migración de las revistas desde lo impreso a lo digital, pero este proceso no siempre se realiza adecuadamente, por lo que actualmente existen revistas, y en consecuencia sus publicaciones, que no se logran encontrar en los buscadores académicos, lo que se debe al uso de los softwares inadecuados o en su defecto a una mala configuración de los que se han implementado. En esta línea la recomendación es usar Open Journal System, un software diseñado para la publicación científica, pero varias revistas usan gestores de contenido como WordPress, por su facilidad de implementación y personalización aun cuando estos presenten limitaciones en el aspecto editorial. A continuación, se expone un método para la correcta indexación de revistas confeccionadas en WordPress en el buscador Google Scholar.
Scientific advances have facilitated the dissemination of knowledge, and the latest discoveries can be easily found on the Internet. This has produced the migration of journals from print to digital; however, this process is not always done properly since there are journals, and consequently their publications, which are not currently found in academic search engines due to the inappropriate use of software or otherwise to a misconfiguration of those that have been implemented. In this line, the recommendation is to use Open Journal System, a software designed for scientific publication; on the other hand, several journals use content manager systems such as WordPress because of its easy implementation and customization even when they present editorial constrains. The following is a method for the correct indexing of journals created in WordPress in the Google Scholar search engine.
ABSTRACT
Objectives: Web-based learning is becoming a newly accepted standard in education, more so with COVID-19 pandemic. To use technology to redesign learning experiences, a blend of synchronous and asynchronous approaches was used wherein the routine lectures through MS Teams (synchronous) were integrated with an online learning management system (LMS), ‘Moodle’ (modular object-oriented dynamic learning environment) based, four-quadrant approach (asynchronous). We aimed to determine the student’s engagement, performance and perception of the new online LMS. Materials and Methods: All 170 students of the 1st year MBBS of batch 2020 were enrolled in the course. A module was developed for teaching ‘Physiology of Vision’ with this blended approach. Along with routine online lectures through Microsoft Teams, supplementary materials in the form of multimedia presentations and additional links to useful websites were provided through online LMS. The online activity of students was recorded and assessments were done. A feedback form was filled out by students at the end of the course. Results: A significant positive correlation of examination scores with individual student’s activity logs and significantly better scores in top Moodle users along with significantly higher marks in Moodle-based modules than in other modules confirmed the value of Moodle in improving student performance. Overall feedback from students was clearly in favour of implementing Moodle as a complementary tool to traditional teaching. Conclusion: Moodle improved the quality of learning. It developed interest and motivation among students and has a positive impact on academic outcomes.

ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To establish a blood transfusion adverse event management system and apply it to adverse events management, so as to enhance the ability to identify and process reports as well as prevent adverse events. 【Methods】 According to the errors during the whole process of blood transfusion, the management information system of blood transfusion adverse events was established, and the data of adverse transfusion reactions and adverse transfusion events from 2020 to 2022 were collected according to the system requirements. The system monitoring data and statistical analysis were used to analyze the causes of errors in each link of blood transfusion, sort the incidence of each department, focus on supervising the departments with high frequency of adverse events, and propose effective rectification. 【Results】 The management system counted 51 cases of adverse reactions. The incidence of adverse reactions of plasma (43.1 %, 22/51) was higher than that of red blood cells (39.2 %, 20/51), and the number of allergic reactions was slightly higher than that of febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reaction. Among the 628 cases of adverse transfusion events, blood transport, inbound and storage (TS-A) errors accounted for the highest proportion of 46.2% (290/628), 20.9% (131/628) in post-transfusion disposal and evaluation (TS-G) and 15.8% (99/628) in pre-transfusion evaluation and transfusion application (TS-B). TS-A12 accounted for 63.8 % (185/290) in TS-A errors, which was mainly due to plasma leakage caused by extrusion during transport and the expiration of red blood cells caused by insufficient blood inventory management. TS-B errors mainly focus on the failure to fully assess the bleeding tendency of patients before surgical system surgery, resulting in no or insufficient preoperative blood preparation. Most of the TS-G errors were unqualified medical record. 【Conclusion】 Blood transfusion adverse event management system can help to identify and prevent the occurrence or recurrence of adverse events, formulate targeted rectification and preventive measures, and improve the haemovigilance ability.

ABSTRACT
In recent years, the diagnostic radiology, especially CT scanning, has a rapidly increased frequency in our country, becoming the largest artificial radiation source to the average individual doses to the population. In clinical diagnosis and treatment activities, the examined patients and individuals may undergo multiple procedures and multiple frequencies of medical imaging in a short period of time and receive high cumulative radiation doses even exceeding 50 or 100 mSv in a single day, posing a potential risk to their health. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out statistical analysis and management of diagnostic radiation dose information to minimize the probability of excessive dose and associated radiation risk. In this paper, the international cognition of radiation risks in diagnostic radiology, diagnostic equipment and medical imaging frequency, radiation dose and its management status are described. Four countermeasures for radiation dose management are put forward to provide reference for further improving radiation protection in clinical practice.

Abstract: Microgrids (MD) is a new technology to improve efficiency, resilience, and reliability in the electricity sector. MD are most likely to have a clean energy generation, but the increase of microgrids with this kind of generation brings new challenges for energy management (EMS), especially concerning load uncertainties and variation of energy generation. In this context, this study has the main objective to propose a method of how to attend this matter, verifying the difference between the day before and real-time. The EMS proposed analyses the MD in real-time, calculating the deviation between dispatched and what was predicted to happen in the operation point in a three-dimensional analysis approach, considering renewable energy generation, battery State of Charge (SOC) and load curve. The system categorized the deviation in three possible quantities (small, medium, or high) and it acts accordingly. For the Next Operation Point predictor are used an artificial neural network (ANN) methodology. For the Decision Support System, it's used a fuzzy logic system to adjust the next operation point, and it uses a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) approach when the deviation is too high, and the dispatched operation is unfeasible. Simulations with real data and information of a pilot project of MD are carried out to test and validate the proposed method. Results show that the methodology used to attend the matters of uncertainties and variation of energy generation. A reduction of operational cost is observed in the simulations.
