The Single European Financial Market: Euro-Zone Debt Crises and Its Regulations | Chapter 01 | Emerging Issues and Development in Economics and Trade Vol. 1

The intent of this work is to present the single European financial market and discuss the pros and cons of its integration in the European Union, the Euro-zone debt crises, its strict regulations (austerities), and its effect on the member-nations’ economies, financial institutions, financial markets, employment, national wealth, and social welfare. An efficient (uncorrupted) financial market might increase return, reduce risk, improve investment, production, and liquidity in the economy, but at the same time, inefficient monetary policies can cause bubbles, unemployment, dependency on foreign capital and multinational firms, and the worst of all the investors lose their wealth and the social welfare is declining. Governments have to increase regulations and improve efficiency of the financial market. Financial markets and institutions (investment banks) have proved recently, with the latest financial (debt) crisis, which has been created by the uncontrolled private institutions that they cannot improve stability and certainty. The financial market is a source of long term capital, but banks can provide similar and less risky services. The European integration with its dubious Maastricht criteria and the common currency, among different nations, have created an enormous social cost to the member-nations and their benefits are too small to cover it; especially, the loss of public policy (fiscal, monetary, and trade), the forced privatizations, the Troika’s austerities for the members and the destruction of the sovereign nations are irreplaceable. The optimal level of integration of the European financial markets and the prevention of its crises are the ones that can maximize the social welfare of the member-nations.

A Brief Study of Middleware Technologies: Programming Applications and Management Systems | Chapter 15 | Novel Research Aspects in Mathematical and Computer Science Vol. 1

  Many platforms, services, applications, hardware, and operating systems are connected through the middleware layer. Because the middleware layer abstracts much low-level complexity and makes applications and software systems portable, it allows disparate systems to interface and function together in harmony. Middleware technologies enable software engineers to swiftly construct software systems and applications, allowing developers to focus on more important tasks. This chapter examines several types of middleware systems and discusses middleware capabilities, middleware operation, middleware's function in cloud-based systems, and the best middleware platforms to use. Middleware systems are widely utilised and can be found in practically any software system or application. Middleware programmes provide as a link between many sorts of systems and protocols. They serve as a mechanism for various systems. To successfully exchange information, it runs on a variety of operating system

A Prospective Study about Safety and Efficacy of Perioperative Lidocaine Infusion | Chapter 09 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 Opioids cause clinically significant side effects such as respiratory depression, immunosuppression, muscle rigidity, negative inotropism, nausea, vomiting, hyperalgesia, urine retention, postoperative ileus, and drowsiness. Perioperative opioids are a major contributor to the United States' and other countries' opioid epidemics. Non-opioid analgesics, particularly lidocaine, are becoming more common for perioperative use as a result of this. A total of 185 adult patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups: control group I (105 patients) [fentanyl group] or group ii (80 patients) [opioid-free anaesthesia group]. Lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg bolus followed by 1.5 mg/kg/h infusion intraoperatively, and 1.5-2 mg/kg/h infusion for 2-8 hours postoperatively were given to patients in both groups at anaesthetic induction. Intraoperatively, both groups received analgesic adjuvants such as diclofenac 75 mg, paracetamol 1 gm, and mgso4 30-50 mg/kg. If the mean arterial pressure (map)

Patients’ Perspective of Acute Post-operative Pain Management: A Multicentre Survey of Tertiary Hospitals in Maharashtra, India | Chapter 08 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 When postoperative pain is adequately controlled, patients' satisfaction and patient-related outcomes (PROs) increase. Understanding the patients' perspective is crucial since it supports in the formulation of improvement strategies. Because wrong attitudes and assumptions might block pain alleviation, patients' attitudes and beliefs are critical. As a result, a multicenter study of patients' attitudes, beliefs, experiences, and satisfaction levels with acute postoperative pain management was done in Maharashtra's tertiary hospitals. In addition, the responses were examined to evaluate if the Acute Pain Service (APS) resulted in improved patient outcomes and satisfaction. A 13-item questionnaire adapted from previous studies was used to capture patients' experiences with postoperative pain treatment. The responses of 179 patients are included in the study. The findings revealed that 91.6 percent of patients experienced postoperative pain, with 75.5 percent
