Is health politically irrelevant? Experimental evidence during a global pandemic
Authors: Acharya Arnab , Gerring John , Reeves Aaron
Published: May 2020

This project involves three samples, drawn from the United Kingdom, the United States, and India. Respondents are recruited through MTurk and compensated after the completion of a short survey. In each country, we aim for a sample of 1,500, reserving 500 for each of three treatment arms – a pure control, an “economics” treatment (where we prime the economic effects of the Coronavirus pandemic), and a “public health” treatment (where we prime the health effects of the pandemic). People in the US, UK, and India are extremely concerned about the pandemic – both its health effects and economic repercussions – and they become even more concerned when primed with information about the repercussions of the virus. Yet, we find no evidence that these worries translate into changes in political behavior. The null findings contained in this study suggest that politicians are unlikely to be punished or rewarded for their failures or successes in managing Covid-19 in the next election. We suggest that these findings indicate that public health issues have little influence on voter preferences in most election cycles.

A study of applicants’ preference on choosing a postgraduate programme using Discrete Choice Model
Authors: Vincent Cho , Sang Dick
Published: May 2020

Is having a degree of a postgraduate programme necessary and indispensable? Over the recent decades, it is noticeable to find that experienced professionals with a postgraduate degree would move up the corporate ladder relatively faster than those who do not. Because of that, professionals seeking for master degree or above are growing. In parallel, many universities in Hong Kong are offering various postgraduate programmes to attract potential applicants resulting in severe competition among universities themselves. Leveraging on the Discrete Choice Model (DCM) and sensitivity analysis, this study examined how the six essential attributes would make an impact on the ranking of a postgraduate programme. To validate the model, three hundred and thirty-nice responses were collected through a mass survey. Our findings highlighted that reputation of the university, practicality of the programme, focuses on future economies and cost of the programme were more important factors than location of the university and internationalization of students’ profile for potential applicants to choose a postgraduate programme in Hong Kong. This study intended to offer practical insights and direction for universities when designing a better and more attractive postgraduate programmes.
Park Spaces and the User Experience
Authors: Stone Eric A. , Roberts Jennifer D.
Published: May 2020

As a strategy for combating physical inactivity, obesity, and other health conditions, the apperception of greenspace and importance of human-nature relationships have increased in recent decades. With this raised awareness in greenspace, the development of park auditing tools has been positioned primarily in the material conditions (e.g., physical environmental conditions) of parks. An examination of existing park auditing tools has shown that by focusing on particular material conditions, built environment and active living scholars have set aside other characteristics, namely, those that consider the user (e.g., the active human), as a separate concern from the focus of these tools. We have sought to engage with these tools to examine how they can be more effective in analyzing both the physical and human elements of parks and other natural environments.
Spór o medyczną klauzulę sumienia a konstytucyjne zasady równości i bezstronności światopoglądowej władz publicznych
Authors: Pawlikowski Jakub
Published: May 2020

W artykule przeanalizowano problem sprzeciwu sumienia z perspektywy konstytucyjnej zasady równości (art. 32 Konstytucji RP) oraz bezstronności światopoglądowej władz publicznych (art. 25 ust. 2). Zasady te zakazują prawodawcy i władzom publicznym wprowadzania nieuzasadnionych nierówności w stosunkach prawnych w sferze publicznej, szczególnie w zakresie podstawowych praw i wolności. Zakazują także arbitralnego opowiadania się po jednej ze stron sporów światopoglądowych, aby uprzywilejowując jedną ze stron nie ograniczać nieproporcjonalnie fundamentalnych praw innych stron. W obszarze świadczeń zdrowotnych konieczność ochrony zdrowia lub życia pacjentów uzasadnia ich uprzywilejowanie w dostępie do świadczeń zdrowotnych oraz nałożenie odpowiednich obowiązków i ograniczeń prawnych w zakresie wolności sumienia na osoby wykonujące zawody medyczne. Jednak większość przypadków manifestowania sprzeciwu sumienia w praktyce medycznej nie dotyczy sytuacji zagrożenia zdrowia lub życia świadczeniobiorców. Co więcej, wynika z woli respektowania zasady poszanowania życia każdej istoty ludzkiej ze strony obdżektora. Spory wokół kwestii ochrony życia poczętego, do których często nawiązuje się w kontekście dyskusji wokół klauzuli sumienia, mają bez wątpienia podłoże światopoglądowe. Jednak nawet zakładając niemożność ich rozstrzygnięcia, nie ma podstaw, aby władze publiczne, w sytuacjach, w których nie występuje konieczność ochrony życia i zdrowia ludzkiego, opowiadały się po stronie poglądu akceptującego naruszanie ludzkiego życia ograniczając jednocześnie wolność postępowania w zgodzie z sumieniem osób przyjmujących pogląd przeciwny. Zatem w przypadkach wykraczających poza konieczność ochrony zdrowia i życia prawodawca nie powinien arbitralnie ograniczać wolności sumienia świadczeniodawców. W przeciwnym przypadku narusza zasadę równości wobec prawa w zakresie podstawowych praw i wolności oraz tworzy ramy prawne dla dyskryminacji niektórych świadczeniodawców ze względu na ich zawód, funkcję lub światopogląd. Niezgodne z zasadą równości byłoby także różnicowanie uprawnień w zakresie sprzeciwu sumienia pomiędzy różnymi grupami osób zaangażowanych w opiekę nad pacjentem.
Prawnoautorskie aspekty kazania
Authors: Broński Włodzimierz
Published: May 2020

Przedmiotem artykułu jest przedstawienie wybranych aspektów prawnoautorskiej ochrony kazania. Kazanie będąc formą posługi słowa Bożego jest regulowane prawem kościelnym, ale równocześnie podlega prawu polskiemu. W związku z tym przedstawiono najpierw obowiązujące w tym zakresie przepisy prawa wewnętrznego Kościoła Katolickiego i prawa państwowego - przede wszystkim ustawę o prawie autorskim i prawach pokrewnych z 4 lutego 1994 roku. Następnie stwierdzono, że kazanie jest utworem w rozumieniu prawa autorskiego i podlega ochronie, jeżeli wykazuje wszystkie trzy cechy konieczne do uzyskania tejże kwalifikacji: stanowi rezultat pracy człowieka (kaznodziei), jest działalnością twórczą o indywidualnym charakterze i jest uzewnętrznione w żywym przepowiadaniu konkretnego kaznodziei lub też w formie opublikowanego tekstu kazania. W ostatniej części na podstawie analiz prawnych i literatury z zakresu homiletyki zdiagnozowano podstawowe problemy współczesnego kaznodziejstwa i w związku z tym sformułowano wskazania dla praktyki przepowiadania wynikające z prawnej ochrony kazania jako utworu. Artykuł napisano z wykorzystaniem metody dogmatycznoprawnej i historycznoprawnej.

Authors: Ożóg Michał
Published: May 2020

Przedmiotem artykułu jest przedstawienie statusu władz Kościoła Katolickiego, organów jednostek samorządu terytorialnego, a także podmiotów zewnętrznych w procedurze ustanowienia patrona wspólnoty samorządowej. Szczególną uwagę zwrócono na status organów jednostek samorządu terytorialnego w świetle zasady bezstronności światopoglądowej władz publicznych (art. 25 ust. 2 Konstytucji RP). Rozważania dotyczą także problematyki opiniowania przedmiotowych wniosków przez mieszkańców i władzę kościelną. Autor zwraca uwagę na relacje zachodzące między władzą świecką i kościelną w poszczególnych etapach postępowania w tej sprawie z punktu widzenia zasad relacji instytucjonalnych między państwem a Kościołami i innymi związkami wyznaniowymi w Polsce.

Authors: Shamardina Marina V. , Dorovskikh Olga А. , Kozhevnikova Apollinaria A.
Published: May 2020

The article considers personality characteristics of codependent adolescents. The aim of the study was to determine the components of the psychological portrait of a teenager with co-dependent behavior from among families where parents have alcohol addiction issues. The authors of the work studied the influence of a specific family environment on the personality of a teenager in the context of parental alcoholism. According to the results of the study, the personality characteristics of a teenager with one or two parents with alcohol dependence were identified. The dependent behavior of one of the parents forms certain emotional states in the adolescent, which leads not only to the appearance of negative personality characteristics, but also changes the behavior of the adolescent as a whole. The article also presents a psychological portrait of a co-dependent adolescent, lists its main components, shows the characteristic trends that show dependence, shows the relationship between infantility and conformism in co-dependent adolescents. The authors propose a book therapy method that can be used in preventive work with the emotional states of co-dependent adolescents.

Authors: Wu Zhihua , Zhao De , Duan Yourong , Dong Yi , Li Yaogang
Published: May 2020

Cell metabolism decides the state of cells in division, differentiation and growth, maintaining intracellular balance. Monitoring the metabolic behavior of cells is of great significance to study the development of diseases in cell levels. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful technique to detect and quantify analytes in extremely low concentration. Combined with SRES technology, we can monitor the concentration of metabolites in live cells and thus study the biological behavior of cells. In this work, Raman-tag labelled Au@ZIF-8 nanoparticles were used to monitor the distribution of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in SKOV3 cells. With the help of the ultrasensitive Raman enhancement material, the distribution of ROS in SKOV3 cells was mapped, the results were further confirmed in the fluorescent images. The SERS platform provides an ultrasensitive monitoring method of ROS distribution, which may offer an opportunity for real-time monitoring the cell metabolism in the cell biology applications.
Exploring communication protocols and centralized critics in multi-agent deep learning
Authors: Simões David , Lau Nuno , Reis Luís Paulo
Published: May 2020

Tackling multi-agent environments where each agent has a local limited observation of the global state is a non-trivial task that often requires hand-tuned solutions. A team of agents coordinating in such scenarios must handle the complex underlying environment, while each agent only has partial knowledge about the environment. Deep reinforcement learning has been shown to achieve super-human performance in single-agent environments, and has since been adapted to the multi-agent paradigm. This paper proposes A3C3, a multi-agent deep learning algorithm, where agents are evaluated by a centralized referee during the learning phase, but remain independent from each other in actual execution. This referee’s neural network is augmented with a permutation invariance architecture to increase its scalability to large teams. A3C3 also allows agents to learn communication protocols with which agents share relevant information to their team members, allowing them to overcome their limited knowledge, and achieve coordination. A3C3 and its permutation invariant augmentation is evaluated in multiple multi-agent test-beds, which include partially-observable scenarios, swarm environments, and complex 3D soccer simulations.
Giant tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon, Fabricius 1798) identification: A combined morphological and molecular approach
Authors: Akinwunmi Mosunmola Florence , Lawal-Are Aderonke Omolara
Published: May 2020

The Giant tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon, is an invasive species in the Gulf of Guinea along the West African coast. The species is not native to the region but has been well established. The first report of its occurrence in Nigeria was about 20 years ago. DNA bar coding is fast emerging as an essential and additional tool for morphology-based species identification. In this study, both morphological and molecular approaches were used in the identification of Penaeus monodon. Samples of the shrimps were collected from Badagry and Lagos Lagoons, South-western Nigeria between May and July, 2015. The genetic diversity of Penaeid shrimp species in this oldest and largest brackish water lagoons is still unknown. The morphomerics (meristic and morphometric) measurement of the shrimps was performed while the DNA of the organisms was extracted using slightly modified phenol-chloroform method and the Norgen tissue kit. Amplification and sequencing of the samples were carried out and further identification was done by comparing with sequence data in the GenBank. In this study, the generated sequences revealed 99% close match and similarities with Penaeus monodon with the conspecific database sequences (GenBank and BOLD). This serves as a confirmation to the species nomenclature and an addition to knowledge to the Biologists, Taxonomists and Conservationists. Hence, there is need for more research to be carried out in the future to determine whether the populations of the species along these interconnecting lagoons are genetically diverse despite the fact that there is considerable gene flow between them.
Many-objective optimization algorithm based on adaptive reference vector
Authors: Hu Ziyu , Ma Xuemin , Sun Hao , Yang Jingming , Zhao Zhiwei
Published: May 2020

When dealing with multi-objective optimization, the proportion of non-dominated solutions increase rapidly with the increase of optimization objective. Pareto-dominance-based algorithms suffer the low selection pressure towards the true Pareto front. Decomposition-based algorithms may fail to solve the problems with highly irregular Pareto front. Based on the analysis of the two selection mechanism, a dynamic reference-vector-based many-objective evolutionary algorithm(RMaEA) is proposed. Adaptive-adjusted reference vector is used to improve the distribution of the algorithm in global area, and the improved non-dominated relationship is used to improve the convergence in a certain local area. Compared with four state-of-art algorithms on DTLZ benchmark with 5-, 10- and 15-objective, the proposed algorithm obtains 13 minimum mean IGD values and 8 minimum standard deviations among 15 test problem.
Regulation of gene expression after combined scalp acupuncture and transcranial magnetic stimulation in middle cerebral artery occlusion mice
Authors: Park Hyeng-Kyu , Song Min-Keun , Kim Wang-In , Han Jae-Young
Published: May 2020

Background:

The effect of combined repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and scalp acupuncture stimulation (SAS) on middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) mice has not yet been reported. The regulation of gene expression after combined stimulation remains unclear.

Objective:

To analyze gene expression patterns through ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing.

Methods:

Thirty-six 8-weeks-old C57BL/6J male mice weighing 50–60 grams were used for this experiment. The MCAO was induced with 60-min occlusion and subsequent reperfusion of the middle cerebral artery. Experimental mice were randomly assigned to four groups, with nine mice in each group, as follows: control group (no treatment), SAS group (10 minutes SAS), rTMS group (1 Hz rTMS), and combined group (1 Hz rTMS and SAS). Stimulation was performed from the 3rd day to the 7th day after the induction of MCAO. All mice were sacrificed, and brain tissues were taken from the motor area of the MCAO lesion. We analyzed their gene expression profiles using RNA sequencing technology.

Results:

After stimulation, the grip strength increased in the SAS and rTMS group compared to the control and combined group. The nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF κB) was the key up-regulated protein in the SAS group while src homologus and collagene gene (SHC) and p90 ribosomal protein S6 kinases (p90RSK) were key up-regulated proteins in the rTMS group. However, the C-terminal src kinase-homologous kinase (CHK) was down-regulated whereas p90RSK was up-regulated in the combined group based on the RNA sequencing analysis.

Conclusions:

Each stimulation method showed different patterns with neurotrophin signaling pathway including NF κB, SHC, p90RSK, and CHK. These can be used in further mechanistic studies about gene expression related to neurorecovery.
Possible assistance of host microbiome in SARS-CoV-2 fitness
Authors: Slama Patrick
Published: May 2020

The COVID-19 outburst that has immobilized a large part of the world originated in late 2019. It was associated with a bat-carried SARS-like virus, SARS-CoV-2. Many features of the disease nevertheless leave physicians and hospitals puzzled with respect to known viral infections. One issue is the discontinuous detection of viral RNA among patients, as well as its differential detection in faeces with respect to respiratory tract samples. Discontinuous detection will raise problems when cities and countries return to full activity, and already has in South Korea, where it was proposed that about one patient out of seven could become re-infected. A possible explanation for this proposed 're-infection' would be interactions of the virus with its host's microbiome.

Eye Movement Autophony: A Unique Presenting Symptom of Semicircular Canal Dehiscence Syndrome
Authors: Yang Nathaniel
Published: May 2020

A 31-year-old woman presented with the very unusual symptom of being able to hear the movement of her eyeballs in her left ear: “I can hear my eyeballs move!” She initially described hearing a recurrent “swishing” sound that would occur intermittently. She eventually realized that its occurrence coincided with eyeball movement. In the eight months’ duration of her symptom, she had been unable to obtain a diagnosis from physicians whom she consulted and had even been referred for psychiatric evaluation and treatment. An otolaryngologist whom she consulted had a standard pure tone audiometric examination done, and this showed normal hearing acuity in both ears. A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the inner ear and brain likewise showed no abnormalities. Due to the peculiarity of the patient’s complaint, the otolaryngologist consulted with a neurotologist who suspected the presence of a semicircular canal dehiscence. A computerized tomographic imaging study of the temporal bone confirmed the presence of a left superior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome. (Figures 1 & 2)

First described by Minor et al. in 1998, superior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome is a neurotologic condition that characteristically presents as vertigo, oscillopsia, and/or disequilibrium induced by sound or changes in middle ear or intracranial pressure.1 Subsequent clinical studies described the presence of audiologic symptoms, the most prominent of which were conductive hearing loss and autophony with or without vestibular manifestations.2 Patients described an increased sensitivity to internally generated bone-conducted sounds, such as the heartbeat, chewing, footsteps hitting the ground and eye movements. It is of particular interest that the ability to hear one’s own eye movements, a condition known as eye movement autophony, currently appears to have been described as a symptom only in patients with semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome.3 Anecdotally, although the author of this report has diagnosed quite a number of patients with semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome manifesting primarily with vestibular symptoms, this particular case is the only one that presented with eye movement autophony as the primary and only symptom.

Although the patient was not physically incapacitated by vertigo or chronic disequilibrium, she was significantly bothered by the unrelenting nature of her particular symptom. She subsequently underwent a transmastoid plugging of the superior semicircular canal which completely relieved her of the symptom.

Greetings!

This year marks the 64th year of the Philippine Society of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. It is a defining year, marked by both national and international events that changed and will most likely continue to change medical practice, public health policy, socio-economic concepts and structures. The SARS-coronavirus-2 (COVID-19) pandemic crashed into the first quarter of 2020 unannounced and with great fury. This great unknown served as the impetus for a flurry of research into every aspect of the disease – its origins, biology, clinical course, and treatment. It initiated an unprecedented interest in research, not just among scientists and clinicians, but most especially amongst the general population.

But what is RESEARCH? Re-search - to look again at the past with spectacles, to look at the past with new eyes, to look at the present with a microscope, and to look at the far distance with binoculars – all to better see & perhaps to find answers to our questions. Research fuels the evidence base of our understanding of diseases and the principles of our clinical and surgical practice. Our specialty of Otolaryngology, during this time of the pandemic, will be at the forefront of an exciting time for a renewed quest for knowledge. And what better vehicle to transport us into this new and uncharted world than the Philippine Journal of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery? It is a testament to the unparalleled dedication of the editor-in-chief and editorial staff and the enthusiasm of the contributors, that every year the PJOHNS publishes interesting case reports, relevant descriptive and analytical studies, papers on surgical techniques & instrument innovations, and insightful commentaries.

The journal is a platform for our questions and hypotheses. The journal is a venue for our discoveries. But most importantly, the journal is a celebration of our passion for Otolaryngology.

                Good reading to all!

The Problems of Conceptualization and Categorization in English Terminology
Authors: Kiseleva S. V. , Mironova M. Yu. , Trofimova N. А.
Published: May 2020

Introduction. The paper focuses on the linguistic concepts of terminology and a term system, provides the views of linguists on the definition and differentiation of these terms, explains the semantics of the word and the term, as well as the role of the cognitive approach in modern terminology. The scientific work defines a concept and a category, and describes the role of the processes of conceptualization and categorization in English terminology. As more than 90 % of new words appearing in modern languages is vocabulary for special purposes, it is increasingly important to study the ways of their formation. The research is relevant since it provides a deeper understanding of the structure and content of concepts that underlie the formation of language categories, the mechanisms of interaction between cognitive and language structures in the process of forming the terminological meaning.

Methodology and sources. In light of the cognitive approach to understanding the semantics of a word the authors emphasize anthropocentrist thinking, language picture of the world and lexical-semantic variants of the word. The cognitive approach allows us to reveal the causes and mechanisms of dynamic processes in the field of professional nomination, taking into account the changing cognitive and communication needs of people. The research is made using corpora data.

Results and discussion. It has been found out, that cognitive categories are linked to conceptually defined prototypes that are crucial for the formation of categories. The necessary to define the central elements of prototypical categories has been proved, as they make the category logical, understandable and convenient, since all members of the category meet a given list of characteristics. As a result of the research it has been proved that in an investment terminological system a prototype turns out to be the best representative of a category.

Conclusion. It has been concluded that the study of conceptualization and categorization processes is extremely important when analyzing terminological systems in general, and investment terminological system of English, in particular, because it allows to identify the basic concepts underlying the formation of terminological systems. The study of the principles and mechanisms of categorization of language units makes it possible to identify and analyze their prototypical semantics in terms of their common properties with the prototype of the category. This possibility is of paramount importance for research in the field of cognitive linguistics, since it is the prototypical semantics of language units that largely determines their use in a sentence to convey a particular meaning.
Advertising and Public Relations Professional Education in the Regions of Russia: Educational Organizations Branding Issues
Authors: Sharakhina L. V. , Ranchin A. V.
Published: May 2020

Introduction. The Russian higher education market in the sphere of Public Relations and Advertising is represented in the paper. The basic approach to the market is shaped by the vision on higher education in the frame of service paradigm. The need to analyze and implement professional communication activities while promoting university education organizations is stressed by the authors. A special attention is put to the necessity of professional communication technologies, such as branding, their application to universities, because it influence such institutions managerial efficiency, helps to systemize a share of their voice, and it is already the necessity for the present day society.

Methodology and sources. Theoretical and methodological basis of the paper was composed by scientific works of Russian researchers in the field of university branding, brand-management, including papers on Russian Federation regional universities branding. Empirical study base was designed by materials of regional leading universities, which give higher education in PR and Advertising. Underlying rationale for defining the leadership were the following: number of state-funded student places; 1st year students’ unified national exam results; the dynamics of prospective students in PR and Advertising on tuition payment basis enrollment. Russian regions, the most of enrollees are coming from to Saint Petersburg Electrotechnical University, were also unveiled. The elements of value-based branding platforms of departments responsible for Public Relations and Advertising education in regional leading higher education institutions are also brought in focus.

Results and discussion. Empirical study revealed that PR and Advertising education departments of the universities studied did not fulfill their scientific and methodological potential in practice to the full extent. The education institutions examined in the research mostly communicate their objective quantitative indicators positioning Public Relations and Advertising education rather than core value messages. Thus it does not seem possible to typify these communication components as examples of branding process and brand element of university. It would help to structure the market share and influence positively on university promotion.

Conclusion. Following the results of the study the authors conclude the necessity to apply communication technologies of brand development and brand management for structuring the market share and influencing positively on university promotion. It directly impacts on education institutions managerial efficiency and proves its relevance to modern society.

Abstract

 

The principal has a strategic role in developing and intensifying teachers’ competencies, including sustainable professional development. The Principal is under an obligation to provide guidance, assistance, assessment and supervision to teachers related to the organization and development of pedagogical skills. An appointed principal with qualified supervisory skill in carrying out these duties is necessary to accomplish the guidance and supervision processes technically in well-balanced, stable and dynamic. Supervision responsibility can be actually carried out anytime and anywhere, but in an educational organization system, supervisors should be directly presented in controlling the continual direction and guidance for the development of teachers objectively. Sustainable professionalism development for professional teachers can be emphatically actualized by providing proper awards, teacher certification, education and training, provision of learning facilities, equal distribution of teaching and learning hours, and provision of incentives based on their duties and responsibilities. Endorsements of sustainable professionality development for professional teachers consist of self-development, scientific publications, and or innovative works. Every supervision result needs to be ceaselessly followed up with an ongoing evaluation in order to get a solution in achieving the improvement of teachers’ professionalism.

The government continues to improve the education sector with various steps, one of which is by making regular curriculum improvements, such as the change from the level of education to the 2013 curriculum. Changes in the curriculum to 2013 curriculum, among others, to meet the golden generation of Indonesia. If changes are made, it is hoped that the young generation in the future will be able to realize the ideals of Indonesian education. with the low quality of education of the population, it will also affect the low competitiveness of the workforce of the Bangka Belitung Islands Province in the labor market both the labor market in this area itself and the labor market outside the region. Related to the education quality map in the province of Kep. Bangka Belitung as Strengthening HR to be able to oversee the implementation of PMP is still very much needed, especially for the development of the capacity of local facilitators to improve the quality of the learning process. Mapping the quality of education must be maintained in order to improve the quality of schools from time to time.Keywords: Populist, Quality, Education

 Abstrak

Pemerintah secara terus-menerus membenahi sektor pendidikan dengan berbagai langkah, salah satunya adalah dengan melakukan perbaikan kurikulum secara berkala, seperti perubahan dari kurikulum tingkat satuan pendidikan menjadi kurikulum 2013. Perubahan kurikulum menjadi kurikulum 2013, antara lain dimaksudkan untuk menyongsong generasi emas Indonesia. Jika perubahan kurikulum ini dilakukan, maka diharapkan generasi muda di masa depan akan dapat mewujudkan cita-cita pendidikan bangsa Indonesia. dengan kualitas pendidikan penduduk yang rendah, akan menyebabkan juga rendahnya daya saing tenaga kerja Provinsi Kepulauan Bangka Belitung dalam pasar kerja baik pasar kerja di daerah ini sendiri maupun pasar kerja di luar daerah. Terkait Peta Mutu pendidikan di Provinsi Kep. Bangka Belitung bahwa Penguatan SDM untuk dapat mengawal implementasi PMP masih sangat dibutuhkan, terutama untuk pengembangan kemampuan fasilitator daerah untuk meningkatkan mutu proses pembelajaran. Pemetaan mutu pendidikan harus dijaga kontinuitasnya sehingga dapat dipelajari perubahan mutu sekolah dari waktu ke waktu.

Elektronik delilin ceza yargılamasında kullanılabilmesi veri bütünlüğünün korunmuş olmasına bağlıdır. Zira bir elektronik delilin veri bütünlüğünün bozulmuş olması onun geçerliliğini de olumsuz etkileyecek ve ispat fonksiyonunun ortadan kalkmasına neden olabilecektir. Bir elektronik verinin bozulmasına neden olabilecek durumların başında ise onun uygun koşullarda toplanmamış ve muhafaza edilmemiş olması yer almaktadır. Bu bakımdan elektronik delilin yapısı itibariyle hassas özellik arz etmesi ve kolay bozulabilen nitelikte olması bu delilin toplanması sırasında bazı temel ilkelere uyulmasını, delil toplama sürecinde canlı analiz, imaj alma, hash değeri alma, zaman damgası ve koruma zinciri gibi bazı işlemlerin yapılmasını ve toplanan elektronik verilerin uygun şartlarda muhafaza edilmesini gerekli kılmaktadır. Biz de bu çalışmamızda elektronik delilin toplanması ve muhafazası sürecinde uyulması gereken prensipleri ve yapılması gereken işlemleri ele aldık.

Introduction. Among infectious agents associated with provision of medical care, resistant ones to disinfectants from various chemical groups are more often met. In this regard, disinfection measures carried out in a medical facility are not always effective enough. Material and methods. 9 strains of microorganisms were selected for research (Klebsiella pneumoniae -2 pcs., Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus warneri, Serratia rubidaea, Staphylococcus sciuri, Enterobacter cloacae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Enterococcus faecium - per 1 pcs.), isolated from the objects of hospital environment in operating unit, intensive care and trauma units, as well as 5 samples of disinfectants from different chemical groups (on the basis of quaternary ammonium salt, tertiary amine and polyhexamethyleneguanidine; on the basis of sodium percarbonate with activator; on the basis of hydrogen peroxide and didecyldimethylammonium chloride; in the form of tablets on the basis of sodium salt sodium dichloroisocyanurate acid), used in the specified divisions of medical facities. The studies were performed in accordance with the methodology set out in methodology instructions MU 3.5.1.3439-17 “Assessment of sensitivity to disinfectants of microorganisms circulating in medical organizations.” Results. When conducting chemical-analytical studies of samples of disinfectants 4 samples out of 5 were found to have inconsistencies in one or another quality indices. The analysis of instructions on application of disinfectants 4 means from 5 were showed to have unreasonably underestimated modes of application. According to the results of the evaluation of the sensitivity of microorganisms to disinfectants, the majority of isolated microorganisms was found to have resistance to the studied disinfectants Conclusion. Based on the results of the study of sensitivity of microorganisms to disinfectants, a new tactic for improving disinfection measures is proposed for medical facilities: rotation of disinfectants and an enhanced system of microbiological monitoring of the sensitivity of microorganisms to disinfectants

Introduction. Consistency of fluoride excess in the human environment and professional contact with fluoride is an actual and underestimated problem. Fluoride ion is able to displace the hydroxyl group in calcium hydroxyapatites, forming stable crystals of mixed form of apatites, inducing bone pathology, fluorosis. Despite the high prevalence of fluorosis, there are only a few studies discussing the ability of fluoride ion to increase the level of genotoxic effects. At the same time, such studies are in high demand in connection with a direct correlation between genetic instability and the risk of carcinogenesis. Material and methods. A literature search was conducted according the following queries: “fluoride, fluoride ion, fluorides, DNA damage, genetic damage, genotoxicity.” The search was conducted on the databases PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase and Google Scholar for various articles (all publications until June 2018). All publications were analyzed and included in this review. Results.The present review examines the results of studies aimed at investigation of the ability of fluoride to induce DNA damage, published since the 50-s of 20th century to the present. The analyse of data about genotoxic and mutagenic properties of fluorine observed in In vitro and In vivo studies is provided. It is summarized that at concentrations of sodium fluoride in drinking water of more than 1 mM, fluoride ion has the ability to induce DNA damage and increase the frequency of clastogenic effects in humans and large monkeys. At the same time, for a significant increase in genotoxic effects in rodents, large concentrations of fluorides are required. The main hypotheses about the mechanisms of the fluoride genotoxic properties are described. Conclusion. Considering results published nowadays, it can be noted that fluoride ion obviously showes a number of genotoxic features and can have mutagenic properties in case of chronic and direct contact with cellular objects. It remains questionable issue about genotoxic risk accompanied human contact with fluoride compounds.
