The Effect of the Change in the Balance Sheet Law in 2014-2018 on Management of Companies in Poland

Polish business entities operate based on accounting principles in accordance with the Accounting Act and the accounting policy established by the directors of the entities. Changes in the balance sheet law have a significant effect on the internal accounting principles applied in companies. In the last three years, Polish accounting regulations have been adapted to the solutions used in the European Union. The aim of the paper is to analyse information aspects of accounting, including financial reporting in Poland in the decision-making processes of internal recipients, taking into account the changes in legal regulations. The research method was the analysis of the literature and legal acts, and a practical example. Changes in legislation influence the accounting policies defined by the managers of business entities. Companies can simplify their accounting principles including those concerning reporting. However, the simplifications should not adversely affect the economic decisions of the entity's manager and the recipients of the financial statements. The lack of accurate financial data from the accounting system may adversely affect the decision-making of the unit's manager in management processes. As it results from the analysis of the literature of the subject and the accounting systems of small enterprises, financial information from accounting is necessary for effective business management. Therefore, managers apply simplifications in accounting quite carefully.
Modeling and Fault Propagation Analysis of Cyber–Physical Power System

In cyber–physical power systems (CPPSs), the interaction mechanisms between physical systems and cyber systems are becoming more and more complicated. Their deep integration has brought new unstable factors to the system. Faults or attacks may cause a chain reaction, such as control failure, state deterioration, or even outage, which seriously threatens the safe and stable operation of power grids. In this paper, given the interaction mechanisms, we propose an interdependent model of CPPS, based on a characteristic association method. Utilizing this model, we can study the fault propagation mechanisms when faulty or under cyber-attack. Simulation results quantitatively reveal the propagation process of fault risks and the impacts on the CPPS due to the change of state quantity of the system model.
Multiple-Objective Control Scheme for Input-Series–Output-Series LCL-Filtered Grid-Connected Inverter System

An input-series–output-series inverter system is suitable for the large-capacity high-voltage ac power applications. If such a combined system comprising a number of small-capacity inverters is utilized in the high-power grid-connected power generation to replace a single high-capacity inverter, the voltage stress of the module would be greatly reduced. Additionally, the reliability of the whole grid-connected system could be effectively heightened owning to its flexible assembled-connection architecture. The principal issues for this grid-connected combined system touch upon multiple control objectives, including power balance, high power factor of the grid current, suppression of LCL resonance spike, and redundant operation of the system. Above all, the control variables are attentively screened to obtain a concise scheme to achieve the first three fundamental demands. Furthermore, the control units are dispersed into each module and a hot-swap technique is proposed to actualize the last objective, acquiring the superior reliability of the system. Finally, a three-module prototype is fabricated and the experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.
Cross-Language Substitution Cipher: An Approach of the Voynich Manuscript

The Voynich Manuscript (VMS) is an illustrated hand-written document carbon-dated in the early 15th century. This paper aims at providing a statistically robust method for translating voynichese, the language used in the VMS. We will first provide a set of statistical properties that can be applied to any tokenizable language with sub-token elements, apply it to Universal Dependencies (UD) dataset plus VMS (V101 transliteration) to see how it compares to the 157 corpora written in 90 different languages from UD. In a second phase we will provide an algorithm to map characters from one language to characters from another language, and we will apply it to the 158 corpora we have in our possession to measure its quality. We managed to attack more than 60% of UD corpora with this method though results for VMS don't appear to be usable.
Tanzania: Integrated Logistics System pilot-test evaluation. Using the Logistics Indicator Assessment Tool.

The Tanzania Ministry of Health in response to decentralization is in the process of transferring responsibility for drug management from the central level primarily through the kit system to districts. A new system for drug ordering called the Integrated Logistics System (ILS) was pilot tested in Dodoma and Iringa regions from April 2005 to September 2005. In October 2005 the Pharmaceuticals and Supplies Unit of the Ministry of Health which is responsible for implementing the ILS conducted an evaluation of the ILS using the JSI/DELIVER Logistics Indicator Assessment Tool (LIAT). The results show that the ILS is performing as expected and meets the needs of most facilities. Health care workers overwhelmingly prefer it to the previous system. Stockout rates are about the same or a little better than under the previous system which is an accomplishment given that the transfer of responsibility to districts has taken place. Proposed recommendations are improvements to the ILS that can be applied as it is rolled out to additional regions. No major changes are proposed. (authors)
Burnout among nurses working in critical care settings: a case of a selected tertiary hospital in Rwanda

Burnout is characterized by loss of emotional strength, not valuing human beings living together with or offering service and decreased in job performance and success due to lack of interest related to occupational stressors.1Burnout was recognized as work related danger among human oriented professionals including health care professionals since they are required to work many hours to help humans and face a challenge of high demand and low resources. Burnout is due to prolonged work related stress that is not managed. In a work environment this leads to high worker turnover, absenteeism, compromise of interpersonal relationships, reduced productivity and low personal achievement.
Well-being and the early years curriculum : a case study of the Foundation Phase in Wales

This thesis explores how the concept of well-being is understood and operationalised in the early years through examining the implementation of the Foundation Phase in Wales. In 2008, the Welsh Government presented well-being as one of seven Areas of Learning in the Foundation Phase, which is the statutory curriculum for 3-to-7 year olds. Despite the appealing interest of well-being within policy, very limited research focuses on understanding the nature of well-being in schools and the curriculum. Well-being is generally acknowledged as a complex concept and there are many different explanations. In addition, and despite the fast-growing interest in education there is little consensus about child well-being. Therefore, this study explores primary school practitioners’ knowledge and understanding of well-being and examines day-to-day classroom practices. This qualitative case study included eight focus groups, 21 practitioner interviews, as well as 342 hours of observations in two primary schools. Several Bernsteinian concepts are drawn upon in the analysis. Key findings suggest that practitioners are uncertain about the nature of well-being as well as operationalising and capturing well-being. The study reveals four different dimensions associated with the concept of well-being, and one unwarranted assumption shared by some practitioners about a child’s well-being and their socio-economic background. In addition, five different types of well-being practices are identified; four of these practices are integrated in nature and one of them is discretely delivered by adults. The study shows that criterion-referenced assessment is implemented in different ways, but practitioners encounter various difficulties when capturing children’s well-being. Practitioners also report that well-being assessment tools are missing helpful follow-up strategies. The thesis concludes by discussing ways of developing practitioners’ understanding of complex concepts such as well-being and pedagogy, and the longer term policy implications regarding the curriculum and assessment. Future directions about child well-being research are considered.
A new system for nursing specialisation: the thoughts and opinions of nurses

Nurses have experienced various difficulties due to the lack of nursing specialisation. This study was conducted in order to determine opinions and suggestions of nurses on nursing specialisation. The population of this research consists of all nurses working at public hospitals and the sample includes 458 nurses. Data were collected by a questionnaire and analysed using percentages, frequencies, the chi-square test and logistic regression. In terms of the ways to achieve specialisation, more than half of the nurses suggested a speciality examination of nursing after graduation (51.7%). According to the logistic regression analysis result, nurses with less length of service, in other words those who had more recently begun working (1–5 years), considered limited authority and responsibilities and non-participation of academics in clinical practice as problems in the context of specialisation (p < 0.05). In order to provide adequate and qualified nursing services, nurses should be allowed the option to specialise after graduation and should be employed in their fields of expertise.
Toward New Ecologies of Cyberphysical Representational Forms, Scales, and Modalities

Research on tangible user interfaces commonly focuses on tangible interfaces acting alone or in comparison with screen-based multi-touch or graphical interfaces. In contrast, hybrid approaches can be seen as the norm for established “mainstream” interaction paradigms. This dissertation describes interfaces that support complementary information mediations, representational forms, and scales toward an ecology of systems embodying hybrid interaction modalities. I investigate systems combining tangible and multi-touch, as well as systems combining tangible and virtual reality interaction. For each of them, I describe work focusing on design and fabrication aspects, as well as work focusing on reproducibility, engagement, legibility, and perception aspects.

The 2018 Mw 6.8 Zakynthos (Ionian Sea, Greece) earthquake: seismic source and local tsunami characterization

We investigated the kinematic rupture model of the 2018 Mw 6.8 Zakynthos, Ionian Sea (Greece), earthquake by using a non-linear joint inversion of strong motion data, high-rate GPS time-series and static coseismic GPS displacements. We also tested inversion results against tide-gauge recordings of the small tsunami generated in the Ionian Sea. In order to constrain the fault geometry, we performed several preliminary kinematic inversions by assuming the parameter values resulting from different published moment tensor solutions. The lowest cost function values were obtained by using the geometry derived from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) focal solution. Between the two conjugate USGS planes, the rupture model which better fits the data is the one with the N9°E-striking 39°ESE-dipping plane. The rupture history of this model is characterized by a bilateral propagation, featuring two asperities; a main slip patch extending between 14 and 28 km in depth, 9 km northeast from the nucleation and a slightly shallower small patch located 27 km southwest from the nucleation. The maximum energy release occurs between 8 and 12 s, when both patches are breaking simultaneously. The maximum slip is 1.8 m and the total seismic moment is 2.4 × 1019 Nm, corresponding to a Mw value of 6.8. The slip angle shows a dominant right-lateral strike-slip mechanism, with a minor reverse component that increases on the deeper region of the fault. This result, in addition to the observed possibility of similar mechanisms for previous earthquakes occurred in 1959 and 1997, suggests that the tectonic deformation between the Cephalonia Transform Fault Zone and the northern tip of the Hellenic Arc Subduction zone may be accommodated by prevailing right lateral low-dipping faults, occurring on re-activated structures previously experiencing (until Pliocene) compressional regime. Comparison of predicted and observed tsunami data suggests the need of a better characterization of local harbour response for this type of relatively short-wavelength events, which is important in the context of tsunami early warning. However, the suggested dominantly strike-slip character would in turn imply a reduced tsunami hazard as compared to a dominant thrust faulting regime from this source region.
OUTCOMES IN PATIENTS WITH AND WITHOUT ICD-9 DIAGNOSED SEVERE SEPSIS AND SEPTIC SHOCK

Title: Outcomes in Patients With and Without ICD-9 Diagnosed Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock Purpose: To evaluate the hypothesis that patients who present to the emergency department with objective findings of severe sepsis or septic shock, but who are not specifically diagnosed, denoted by absence of 995.92 or 785.52, are treated less aggressively and have worse outcomes than similar patients who are specifically diagnosed with severe sepsis or septic shock. Design: Retrospective cohort study Setting: University of Kansas Hospital, academic medical center, emergency department Patients: 6885 patients with severe sepsis or septic shock Methods: Data were extracted from the electronic health record using the query tool HERON, to identify patients with severe sepsis or septic shock admitted through the emergency department, between 11/01/07–09/31/15. Patients aged ≥ 18 years, who had an infection, received an antibiotic ≤ 8 hours after triage, and meet criteria for severe sepsis and/or septic shock were eligible for inclusion. Severe sepsis was defined either by explicit diagnosis, ICD-9 995.92, or clinical criteria, infection + ≥2 sites of organ dysfunction. Septic shock was identified by one of the following: 1) an explicit diagnosis of septic shock, ICD-9 785.52, 2) criteria for severe sepsis and an ICD-9 code of other shock or shock unspecified (785.50 or 785.59), or 3) criteria for severe sepsis and received a vasopressor. We compared treatment rates, based on the Surviving Sepsis Campaign three-hour recommendations, and outcome differences between severe sepsis and septic shock patients who had a diagnosis code of 995.92 or 785.52 to patients who met criteria, but were never diagnosed as denoted by no ICD-9 diagnosis code. Main Results: A total of 6885 eligible patients were identified, with a mean age of 60.4 years ± 16.9 (mean ± standard deviation). Half of patients were male, (51.3%) and 42.5% received an
Characteristics and Behaviors of School Board Members in "Grade A" Arkansas Public School Districts

The purpose of this grounded theory study was to describe characteristics and behaviors of school board members in Arkansas school districts where 50% or more of their campuses earned a letter grade of “A” on the 2014 Arkansas School Performance Report (Arkansas Department of Education [ADE], 2015). This purpose was achieved through analysis of artifacts from selected school districts including: achievement patterns; board minutes; and board member professional development records. A web-based survey of school board members was also utilized to gather demographic and background information. Finally, personal interviews were completed with a small group of board members to collect perceptual and contextual data. All of the participants of this study were current board members in Arkansas school districts. It is expected that this will provide credibility for the findings with other board members in the state as they seek ways to improve their work as the governing body of a local school district. This work supports what has been done with larger groups and may also act as a model for future research of a similar nature. The potential in this study is the possible focus that may be placed upon school boards in order to instill a sense of efficacy and mutual accountability for improving student achievement across Arkansas.
Detection and characterisation of rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus strains circulating in Egypt

Rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD) is a highly virulent viral disease of Oryctolagus cuniculus which threatens the rabbit population in Egypt and worldwide. The etiological agent is the rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV), a member of the family Caliciviridae. The aim of this study was to identify the possible evolutionary changes of the currently circulating RHDV in Egypt. Twenty suspected cases were collected from outbreaks that occurred in non-vaccinated rabbit flocks during 2015 and 2016. Liver homogenate samples were investigated for detection and identification of circulating RHDV using haemagglutination (HA) and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Further characterisation of selected five viral strains was performed by nucleotide sequencing of VP60 gene. All twenty tested samples were haemagglutinin positive and VP60 gene was amplified. Based on nucleotide sequence analysis, four isolates were identified as classical RHDV strains, while one isolate was assigned as RHDVa variant strain but with the same HA pattern. The new RHDVb variant was not identified.
International Trademarking and Regional Export Performance

Analysis of international trade at the sub-national region level is perennially hampered by the lack of granular data. We contribute a new analytic approach for understanding trade performance of sub-national regions using a newly constructed international trademark filing dataset. We show that international trademarks provide an indicator of regional export activity by analyzing US data aggregated to the industry and State level. Our new dataset shows more detailed information about exporting businesses than have previously been unavailable such as the company name, industry, market and location. It is therefore valuable for public sector export promotion programs as well as business seeking timely information about the behavior of their competitors.
Objectively Measured Physical Activity and Health-related Quality of Life as Predictors of Mortality in U.S. Adults

Background: Few national-level studies have examined the effects of both physical activity (PA) and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) on mortality. The purpose of this study was to examine the ability of PA and HRQOL to predict all-cause mortality in U.S. adults. Methods: Data for this research came from the 2003-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and its 2011 mortality-linked National Death Index (NDI) file. Moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA, min/day) was objectively determined by accelerometry and participants were categorized into low or high groups using the median. HRQOL was assessed by a single question asking participants to rate their general health. Participants rating their health as “good”, “very good”, or “excellent” were considered to have good HRQOL whereas those rating it “fair” or “poor” were considered to have poor HRQOL. Cox proportional hazard regression was used to determine the independent effects of MVPA and HRQOL on all-cause mortality while controlling for covariates. Results: In the fully adjusted females model, participants were at greater risk of mortality if they engaged in low amounts of MVPA (Hazard Ratio (HR)=2.82, 95% CI: 1.02-7.85) and had poor HRQOL (HR=7.19, 95% CI: 2.30-22.51) with no significant (p=.133) MVPA-by-HRQOL interaction. Conversely, the equivalent males model saw a significant (p=.002) MVPA-by-HRQOL interaction, resulting in an analysis of simple effects. In the fully adjusted males with good HRQOL model, participants were at greater risk of mortality if they engaged in low amounts of MVPA (HR=2.92, 95% CI: 1.56-5.49). However, in the males with poor HRQOL model, MVPA could not significantly predict mortality (HR=1.04, 95% CI: 0.49-2.24). Conclusion: Results from this study indicate that MVPA and HRQOL independently predict all-cause mortality in U.S. female adults. In U.S. male adults, MVPA predicts all-cause mortality only in those with good HRQOL.
Sensor Less Proposed Multi Sector Perturb and Observe Maximum Power Tracking for 1.5 MW Based on DFIG

This paper proposes a spirited method to defeat the problems of the conventional perturb and observe (P&O) Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) and also used wind speed estimation MPPT. The suggested P&O can achieve the maximum power without large oscillation small settling time which means high efficiency for the system. The result of the suggested P&O compared with the traditional P&O, the two method uses wind speed estimation to estimate the wind speed to dispense using wind speed sensors. The adaptive P&O, this method uses additional curve which intersects with the power-speed curve and output 4 sectors which are used to facilitate the operating point to decide which step used in the operating section as the 4 sectors P&O used small step and large step. If the operating sector is near the Maximum Power Point (MPP) the large step used otherwise the small step used. This method is in the optimum power with small time and small oscillations compared to the traditional P&O. This word with 1.5 MW wind turbine based on Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG). The DFIG connected to the grid directly with the stator windings and through back to back converter for rotor windings.
FlowScope: Spotting Money Laundering Based on Graphs

Given a graph of the money transfers between accounts of a bank, how can we detect money laundering? Money laundering refers to criminals using the bank's services to move massive amounts of illegal money to untraceable destination accounts, in order to inject their illegal money into the legitimate financial system. Existing graph fraud detection approaches focus on dense subgraph detection, without considering the fact that money laundering involves high-volume flows of funds through chains of bank accounts, thereby decreasing their detection accuracy. Instead, we propose to model the transactions using a multipartite graph, and detect the complete flow of money from source to destination using a scalable algorithm, FlowScope. Theoretical analysis shows that FlowScope provides guarantees in terms of the amount of money that fraudsters can transfer without being detected. FlowScope outperforms state-of-the-art baselines in accurately detecting the accounts involved in money laundering, in both injected and real-world data settings.
