Navigating ISO 20022 maintenance in a connected world: A vision for harmonisation
Authors: Gauci Melissa
Published: October 2024

The implementation of ISO 20022 in payment infrastructures has been hailed as a paradigm shift towards seamless transactions, heralding flexibility for financial market infrastructures (MIs) and enabling the creation of bespoke ISO 20022 variants. The initial allure of this flexibility, however, led to an unintended consequence — a proliferation of variants with different timelines, versions and market practices. This fragmented landscape has introduced challenges for organisations seeking to achieve high levels of automated ‘straight-through processing’. Different variants affect end-users’ ability to automate reconciliation processes and complicates endeavours to establish and sustain a cohesive ISO 20022 future. As we navigate the intricacies of a globally interlinked financial ecosystem, the role of ISO 20022 maintenance has emerged as a linchpin in the seamless exchange of standardised financial messages. This paper emphasises the importance of streamlining the ISO 20022 environment and messaging life cycle to facilitate efficient maintenance processes, foster broader harmonisation and usher in an era of truly frictionless payments. In proposing this shift, the paper advocates for a transformative approach. It posits two opportunities: the establishment of a unified, industry-led governance structure and the definition of a common message template. These initiatives are envisioned as essential to harmonising the fragmented ISO 20022 landscape, offering a path for end-to-end interoperability across the diverse payment chain. While acknowledging the ambitious nature of these proposals and timelines, the potential benefits are significant. The proposed initiatives could lead to more efficient maintenance processes, enhanced interoperability and a shared framework for ISO 20022 payments. The industry faces a crucial choice — whether to embrace this ambitious evolution or settle for the status quo. The imperative is clear: achieving a more interoperable and harmonised future for ISO 20022 payments is not just an opportunity but a necessity for the industry’s continued growth, resilience and operational efficiency.
Choosing the right sourcing model for thirdparty logistics outsourcing agreements
Authors: Vitasek Kate , Downard Andrew
Published: October 2024

Modern outsourcing is more than a typical make–buy decision. Rather, there is a wide range of sourcing business models that today’s practitioners can choose from. Unfortunately, the fundamental nature of how goods and services are procured is not keeping pace with best practices of tapping into more mature sourcing business models; many business professionals wrongly assume that a transaction-based business model is the only way to architect a supplier contract. This paper provides an easy-to-understand framework for classifying the various contracting approaches along a sourcing continuum. A key goal of the paper is to help organisations understand the various models and see examples of how they are used in practice.
The role of AI and emerging technologies in global trade compliance
Authors: Richer Suzanne M. , Canioni Jonathan
Published: October 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) in global trade compliance is evolving rapidly, notably in classification, with the potential to unlock productivity, expand expertise and improve speed, reliability and accuracy. Due to its potential, AI is met with high expectations and sometimes apprehension, as there is a lot of uncertainty about what constitutes AI and how it will affect global trade stakeholders. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how AI will likely affect customs agencies, importers/exporters, service providers and compliance managers. By using examples and case studies, the paper explains: 1) the role of AI expert systems (ES) that use machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP); 2) AI’s potential and limitations in sourcing compliance knowledge for streamlining and automating global trade compliance activities; 3) the importance of upskilling compliance managers and compliance teams to successfully deploy AI, mitigate risks and better manage the global trade compliance process; and 4) our six steps for successfully implementing AI in your global trade compliance department. You will learn how AI can be valuable in performing your job and meeting your goals, if it is kept within its range of capabilities. By such measures, you will be able to obtain the advantages presented by the use of AI, while mitigating its very present risks, some of which are known and many of which are unknown.
Digital transformation of procurement: A supply chain risk perspective
Authors: Mizgier Kamil J.
Published: October 2024

In an era marked by geopolitical tensions, global supply chains confront challenges that demand a proactive approach to risk management. The success of digital transformation relies on enhanced collaboration across functional areas and robust technological support. Leading companies are integrating supplier relationship management with risk management capabilities while leveraging digital tools for supplier risk intelligence. The adoption of data analytics tools enhances supplier visibility and facilitates the transformation of raw data into actionable insights. This approach allows for more targeted sourcing strategies that align with global regulatory changes. Moreover, the implementation of economic supply chain risk capital alongside modern supply chain finance solutions empowers companies to define their risk appetite, allocate risk capital to business units and assess performance on a risk-adjusted basis. This paper outlines a comprehensive approach intended to equip organisations with the tools and insights necessary to effectively manage the complexities of modern supply chain risk dynamics.
Development of optimised causal AI and its application in retail banking
Authors: Molabanti Sai Chaitanya , Kanchi Lakshmi Kiran , Sonathi Venkateshwarlu , Annam Rajanikanth
Published: October 2024

Causal artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising approach in machine learning (ML), as it considers not only correlations but also cause-and-effect relationships in data, resulting in more human-like decision making. The pivotal stages within causal AI involve causal discovery and inferencing, each playing a crucial role in extracting meaningful insights from the data. In the realm of causal discovery, various algorithms have been developed to uncover the underlying cause-and-effect structures within data sets. A notable limitation, however, surfaces when attempting to apply these algorithms to data sets characterised by binary variables. This constraint prompts a crucial examination of the current methodologies and calls for innovative solutions that can seamlessly navigate the complexities of binary variable data sets. This paper proposes an optimised causal discovery algorithm that is integrated with the causal inference method based on the estimation of conditional average treatment effects (CATE) scores. The results present the potential of causal AI in terms of incremental impact on the predictive capability of AI/ML models. And the incremental impact is elucidated by comparing conventional propensity-based modelling and causal AI-based modelling by means of a use case in the field of retail banking.
Data synergy in integrated facilities management : The key to clearer insights, smarter decisions and optimised operations
Authors: Lilly Chris
Published: October 2024

Today’s corporate real estate landscape has evolved within the digital age. Operations, including hard and soft services critical to a facility’s infrastructure and occupant experience, can now produce vast amounts of data to better adapt, generate reports and optimise resources. Many facilities, however, are not reaping the rewards of technological advancements because of solutions operating in silos. Data is being cobbled from disparate streams, leading to inefficiencies and a burden on operational leadership. This paper explains the paradox within integrated facilities management (IFM), wherein five or ten standalone applications that do not interact with each other are often used to perform vertical functions. By looking at how other industries have approached similar challenges, including the emergence of enterprise resource planning, standalone buildings, and those within a corporate real estate portfolio, can integrate technology solutions and processes for a more synergised approach. This move can lead to clearer data both at unit and above-unit levels. Combined with the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), infinite variables can be incorporated into processes via smart technology to maximise the impact of resources, including labour, critical systems and infrastructure. From data-driven cleaning to asset management, integration opportunities abound. Whether enhancing existing platforms or seeking new technology solutions to broaden functionality, it is critical to understand the power of synergy.
Low/no-code and traditional code integration in digital banking
Authors: Siang Yeo Kim , Megargel Alan
Published: October 2024

This paper seeks to combine the merits of low/no-code programming (LNCP) with traditional programming (TP) systems for increased agility in digital banking software development. While it is easy to fall prey to shiny object syndrome in today’s dynamic banking technology landscape, it is not easy to select the right technology to suit the current and future needs of the financial industry. Instead, LNCP makes it possible to lower the technical entry barriers to technology development. Integrating TP with LNCP, when needed, compensates for the shortcomings related to LNCP and provides digital banks with a more comprehensive software development approach. The adoption of this approach improves time-to-market of new innovative financial solutions. There has been little progress in this direction, academically or in practice. This paper includes an empirical study, interviews with banking professionals, on the merits of LNCP and TP, as well as an experimental project implementation that integrates LNCP and TP in the development of a retail Internet banking application. In the context of digital banking solution development, the result of the experiment reveals the merits of LNCP/TP hybrid systems in terms of agility, scalability, change management and cost-effectiveness.
The demand planning renaissance: A data-driven approach
Authors: Jasiński Piotr
Published: October 2024

This paper analyses how demand planning in supply chain management is changing through the use of data-driven methods. It emphasises the need to move from traditional, reactive strategies to proactive, data-centric approaches that can predict trends, respond to changes and make informed decisions quickly. It starts by outlining a common supply chain challenge and stressing the importance of agility and responsiveness in demand planning. The paper also points out the drawbacks of manual forecasting and the advantages of using advanced analytics, artificial intelligence (AI) and real-time data to enhance forecasting accuracy and operational efficiency. Readers will gain insights into the key components of data-driven demand planning, including the integration of various data sources, the application of machine learning (ML) for accurate forecasting and the strategic implementation of exception-based management (EBM). Practical examples, such as automating forecast phasing and utilising suppliers, inputs, process, outputs and customers (SIPOC) process architecture, demonstrate how technology and human expertise can collaboratively enhance demand planning processes. By delving into the synergy between automation and human insight, the paper emphasises the balanced approach needed for effective demand planning. It also introduces unconventional forecasting methods like probabilistic forecasting and reinforcement learning, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of advanced forecasting techniques. Overall, readers can expect to learn how to implement data-driven strategies to achieve improved forecast accuracy, optimised inventory levels, enhanced customer satisfaction, increased profitability and greater business agility. This knowledge equips supply chain professionals with the tools to navigate the complexities of modern supply chain management and drive continuous improvement in their organisations.

The Papan and Naiman reservoirs are artificial reservoirs created to supply drinking water to the city of Osh and the settlements of the Nookat and Aravan regions. The object of study of ecology, including aquatic ecology (hydroecology, hydrobiology), is an aquatic ecosystem, which is an interconnected system of living organisms and their natural environment (water, sediments and adjacent land), in which substances and energy are formed, and there is a cyclic exchange of minerals and organic matter. Aquatic ecosystems are a complex type of artificially created reservoirs with a regulated water regime, as a result of which the level and speed of flow change, thereby determining the nature of the hydrobiological regime. The process of formation of a reservoir ecosystem depends on its specific conditions, initial biological resources, water exchange, anthropogenic loads, etc. Effective and environmentally safe use of water and biological resources of reservoirs can only be realized on the basis of a deep and comprehensive study of the structure and functioning of their ecosystems. The object of the study was the taxonomic composition of the phytoplankton of the Papan and Naiman reservoirs, located in the south of Kyrgyzstan. The relevance of the study is determined by the importance of these reservoirs in the national economy and in providing the population with clean water.

The study on nursing care for patients with iron-deficiency anemia in the ICU underscores the relevance of this common and potentially serious condition, caused by insufficient iron levels in the body. This deficiency hampers hemoglobin production, resulting in symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and difficulty concentrating. Factors such as blood loss, dietary iron deficiency, and underlying conditions contribute to the development of iron-deficiency anemia, especially in critically ill patients in the ICU. The research reviewed biochemical data for anemia in the ICU and highlighted the importance of nursing care in this context. Increased oxygen demand due to physiological stress can exacerbate symptoms of iron-deficiency anemia in critically ill patients, leading to severe complications and prolonged hospitalization. The literature review addressed the methodology used to identify best care practices, including searching electronic databases and analyzing institutional protocols. The discussion of results underscored the severity of iron-deficiency anemia in the ICU, emphasizing the need for effective interventions to improve clinical outcomes. The results and discussions highlighted the crucial role of nursing in caring for patients with iron-deficiency anemia in the ICU. From early symptom detection to appropriate treatment administration, the nursing team plays a crucial role in patient recovery. Challenges such as constant monitoring, iron supplementation administration, and blood transfusions were discussed, emphasizing the need for continuous education and specialized training of the healthcare team. Finally, the concluding remarks emphasized the importance of a coordinated and continuous approach in managing iron-deficiency anemia in the ICU. The implementation of evidence-based practices, along with continuous team training, is essential for providing high-quality care and improving outcomes for patients.

Autor-máquina
Authors: Arrabal Alejandro Knaesel
Published: October 2024

Neste artigo avaliam-se as condições sob as quais o regime jurídico dos direitos de autor é aplicável (ou não) a máquinas computacionais cujo desempenho é reconhecidamente análogo ao de sujeitos criativos. Baseado na revisão bibliográfica e na análise de discurso, o trabalho compõe-se de duas unidades: a primeira desenvolve o conceito de antropomorfismo computacional e a segunda questiona a categoria autor-máquina. Aqui, julga-se impróprio conferir a máquinas a qualidade de autor; qualquer que seja o estágio evolutivo dos modos de artificialização do pensamento e da criatividade, a autoria não se reduz a habilidade e desempenho autônomo. Sem dúvida, tecnologias de inteligência cognitiva são capazes de produzir resultados surpreendentes, mas a autoria é uma condição integrada à liberdade e à autonomia – fundamentos da dignidade humana –, o que não se confunde com a estrita capacidade técnica de produzir bens em razão da estética ou da utilidade.
O Brasil segue os padrões internacionais de respeito ao direito à autodeterminação dos pacientes? O exemplo das testemunhas de Jeová
Authors: Muzny Petr , Albuquerque Aline
Published: October 2024

A falta de legislação que proteja o direito dos pacientes cria incertezas para médicos e pacientes no Brasil. Este artigo sugere maneiras para harmonizar a legislação e a jurisprudência com os padrões internacionais e utiliza como exemplos casos envolvendo pacientes testemunhas de Jeová. A metodologia empregada é o exame da jurisprudência de cortes constitucionais e internacionais em casos que os envolvem. O foco é avaliar tanto o reconhecimento do direito à autodeterminação, inclusive em casos de inconsciência e situações de emergência, quanto a objeção de consciência e responsabilidade do médico quando o paciente rejeita certo tratamento. Conclui-se que: a) é absoluto o direito dos pacientes capazes de escolher tratamento médico em harmonia com seus valores pessoais; b) os médicos que respeitam esse direito estão protegidos de responsabilização civil e criminal; e c) é necessária uma legislação que proteja o direito dos pacientes à autodeterminação.
A Administração Pública ganha eficiência com a autonomia formal do Banco Central? Uma avaliação sob a óptica do Direito Administrativo
Authors: van der Laan Cesar Rodrigues
Published: October 2024

O artigo avalia os efeitos do novo formato organizacional do Banco Central do Brasil (Bacen) após a aprovação da sua autonomia em 2021. Para isso, analisa o referencial normativo aplicado e a agencificação da autarquia, e confronta a tese da autonomia informal do Bacen com fatos estilizados e as alterações já observadas em suas relações administrativas advindas da Lei Complementar nº 179/2021. Como resultado, aponta-se maior eficiência e transparência da Administração Pública derivadas do novo paradigma legal. A atuação direta do Planalto sobre a política monetária transforma-se em influência sobre a pauta pública nacional, dado o poder de agenda do Governo, com efeitos mais funcionais que os verificados anteriormente. Conclui-se que há mudança institucional relevante que supera a disseminada percepção de ingerência política indevida que justificou a criação daquela lei. Também se refuta a tese da autonomia prévia de facto, que pode ser interpretada, no máximo, como uma autonomia informal controlada.
Democracia militante: uma crítica à proposta de defesa da democracia contra suas próprias bases
Authors: Silva Isadora de Oliveira
Published: October 2024

Em 2022 ganhou relevância no Brasil o debate acerca da democracia militante, conceito cunhado por Karl Loewenstein para pensar o mecanismo de defesa das democracias constitucionais contra as ofensivas fascistas. Sem pretender apresentar uma discussão nova, busca-se, neste artigo, entender, por meio de revisão bibliográfica, os argumentos que sustentam esse conceito e sua relação com a democracia liberal. Após a análise crítica desses argumentos, desenvolve-se a hipótese de que a democracia militante é um arranjo institucional próximo do que caracteriza a democracia iliberal e, nessa medida, sujeita a democracia liberal ao risco de ruptura, a depender de quem a adota. Conclui-se que, na perspectiva democrática liberal, é frágil a doutrina da democracia militante.

The BBC’s Sebastian Usher discusses the Alan Johnston kidnapping
Authors: Weyman George
Published: October 2024

Sebastian Usher: The dangers in Gaza had always been there, but as a Western journalist, it wasn’t a place where you really expected to be targeted until the last few months. And what happened was that two other Western journalists were taken hostage I think two or three months before Alan was taken hostage, and during that time Alan was withdrawn from Gaza because of the fears for his safety. And although there had been concerns about this before, they hadn’t been sharp like this. Clip: Today from Ramallah on the West bank we’re doing this special program because it’s a month since our colleague Alan Johnston the BBC’s Gaza correspondent was kidnapped on his way home… Usher: The Palestinian Territories had been very different, obviously, from Iraq. It hadn’t been the lawless, chaotic landscape that we had in Iraq where anything goes, I mean we saw it happen it first with the Western journalists, terrible things would happen with kidnappings there, people were beheaded and so on. In the last year or two we’ve seen that happen with Iraqi journalists, and there have been a huge number of Iraqi journalists that have been killed in the last year, and much of that unreported in the West. There are journalists in Iraq who have given first hand experiences. When journalists were still going around Iraq freely, often journalists were taken for a day or so, for a few hours, and they would be checked up on. These days your hostage takers, they get their laptop out and they Google the person they’ve kidnapped to see who is this? What have they said? And they if they haven’t got a serious purpose, they haven’t got a real plan, and there’s plenty of you around, as there was in those days, you’ve got a very good change of being released then.
BOOK REVIEW | Cairo Cosmopolitan: Politics, Culture, and Urban Space in the New Globalized Middle East
Authors: Ward Will
Published: October 2024

In Cairo Cosmopolitan editors Diane Singerman and Paul Amar draw on an international field of contributors clustered in the disciplines of architecture, sociology, anthropology and geography to study contemporary changes in Cairo’s people, its physical space and the global causes and consequences of these trends. What emerges is a detailed, sensitive and wide-ranging look at Cairo from an array of qualitative social science perspectives. But beyond a study of Cairo and its place in the world, the editors bill the volume as the debut of the “Cairo School of Urban Studies” that will produce new interdisciplinary research agendas and methodologies. The editors explain their vision as follows: “This multinational, multidisciplinary Cairo School has aimed to forge a more nuanced, multi-level analysis of phenomena that strives to tie the mundane, common sensical, the everyday, and the local to global processes and flows without forgetting the geopolitics of war, terrorism, monopoly petro-capitalism, and resurgent Third World solidarity…. The Cairo School challenges disciplinary divides between comparative politics and international relations, between anthropology and political science, and between urban planning, geography and political economy.” A strength of this approach is its ability to live with ambiguity and multiple overlapping possibilities: “The Cairo School is comfortable with a certain amount of ambivalence in its representation and analysis of Cairene life”. But while successfully keeping theory from interfering with description of the city’s complex realities, this embrace of ambiguity comes at the price of some analytical clarity. Contributors often seem to approach the book’s key concepts such as “globalization” or “cosmopolitanism” using completely different definitions or underlying assumptions in spite of attempts to forge a shared understanding of these terms in the introduction.

Authors:   Universidad Gerardo Barrios, Baires Sara Oneida , Carballo Henríquez Arline Carolina ,   Universidad Gerardo Barrios
Published: October 2024

Debido a la alta utilización de materiales plásticos para productos de consumo diario, en El Salvador se generan 3,676 toneladas diarias de residuos sólidos, únicamente dispuesto a reciclaje el 5% y del cual el 22.21% aproximadamente [1] es plástico, entre los que figuran desechables de un solo uso, de baja densidad y de alta densidad [2]. La disposición final del plástico es un reto, en ese sentido se plantea la incorporación del polímero reciclado PET en un sistema constructivo ya conocido como lo son las placas de concreto, verificando y garantizando el comportamiento de las mismas que cumplan con los requerimientos de una placa de concreto estándar. Esta es una alternativa para incorporar estos residuos de plásticos utilizados en la elaboración de botellas de agua, refrescos y otras bebidas, recipientes de detergentes y otros productos para la limpieza utilizadas por la población salvadoreña. Este proyecto se enmarcó en la línea de investigación que desarrolla la Universidad Gerardo Barrios en temas de innovación de la construcción, contribuyendo a los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS), específicamente al ODS 11: Ciudades y Comunidades Sostenibles. [3]. Específicamente este trabajo contempla la caracterización de placas de concreto incorporando polímero reciclado PET en la elaboración, realizando pruebas de laboratorio de resistencia al desgaste, a la compresión, a la flexión, ensayo estándar para la absorción, densidad, contenido de humedad y ensayo a la temperatura para conocer a detalle las propiedades mecánicas y físicas en el funcionamiento del desarrollo de este sistema de la placa de concreto incluyendo el polímero. La obtención de los diferentes ensayos mencionados anteriormente, nos aportan la información para la categorización de los elementos dentro de la mezcla de concreto utilizando polímero reciclado, garantizando la calidad de las mismas y la implementación como material de construcción para los salvadoreños.
Economía colaborativa. Trabajo clandestino o evolución digital del derecho humano al trabajo
Authors:   Universidad Gerardo Barrios, Rodríguez Parada Edgar Gustavo
Published: October 2024

Para Rosa y Gámez (2017) la economía colaborativa es una nueva forma de expresión del antiguo trueque, pero utilizando las nuevas tecnologías o también una actividad de comercio tradicional al que se ha unido la ventaja de la digitalización en la cual se comparte o intercambia bienes tangibles e intangibles (tiempo, espacio, hobbies) a través de los nuevos espacios tecnológicos y las comunidades sociales. Esta forma actual de compartir ha impactado en las formas de hacer negocios permitiendo penetrar más rápidamente y más barato en mercados que ya tenían una estructura definida, como el transporte de comida o la entrega a domicilio, pero bajo la forma digital de trabajo a destajo; es decir, reduciendo el precio que la persona espera ganar por realizarlo, y tal como señala el Código de Trabajo en su Art. 126 cuando se pacta el salario en forma global y sin que las labores se sometan a jornadas u horarios (Villasmil et al., 2010). Debido a ello fue necesario conocer si esta nueva forma de ofertar trabajos desde un formato digital es una evolución digital del derecho humano al trabajo que aún está desarrollándose como señalan Fuentes y Ponce (Fuentes & Ponce, 2016) o realmente es un trabajo clandestino que niega o reduce los derechos laborales y humanos de los trabajadores como afirman algunos, entre ellos Saenz (2019, p. 7) y Armas Morales (2018) al señalar sus problemas. Esta investigación sobre el uso de plataformas digitales como economía colaborativa en El Salvador, tuvo como propósito responder a la problemática ¿Cómo afecta al trabajador y a sus derechos este tipo de actividad económica que ha surgido en la segunda década del siglo XXI a través de muchas plataformas y aplicaciones de internet en la cual usuarios del servicio y proveedores se encuentran algunas con comisión mensual como en el caso de clubes de lealtad y otras con el cobro de una comisión por cada servicio prestado como Uber, Glovo, JUMP y otros? Y como se verá más adelante el trabajador de estas aplicaciones tiene pocas oportunidades de alcanzar un nivel de vida digno, nula oportunidad de jubilarse y tiene que trabajar más horas sin prestaciones previsionales, ni pago de horas extra o nocturnidad.

Penerapan Good Corporate Governance sebagai salah satu cara untuk mengurangi konflik agensi dalam perusahaan diharapkan dapat meningkatkan nilai perusahaan. Manfaat yang diharapkan dari nilai perusahaan yang tinggi adalah mendapatkan kepercayaan investor terhadap perusahaan. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk memperoleh bukti mengenai pengaruh mekanisme Good Corporate Governance (ukuran dewan komisaris dan komisaris independen) dan ukuran perusahaan terhadap nilai perusahaan. Objek dalam penelitian ini adalah perusahaan consumer goods yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia periode tahun 2007 hingga 2011. Dengan menggunakan metode purposive sampling diperoleh 16 perusahaan sampel dalam penelitian ini. Alat analisis yang digunakan adalah regresi linier berganda dimana variabel dependen adalah nilai perusahaan (diukur dengan Rasio Price to Book Value (PBV)) dan variabel independen adalah ukuran dewan komisaris, komisaris independen dan ukuran perusahaan. Didapatkan rumus regresi linier berganda y=1.063+0.113X1-2.475X2+0.001X3+ε. Hasil penelitian adalah sebagai berikut: (1) ukuran dewan komisaris berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap nilai perusahaan (thitung 2.799 > ttabel 1.992); (2) komisaris independen tidak berpengaruh terhadap nilai perusahaan (thitung 0.252 < ttabel 1.992); (3) ukuran perusahaan berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap nilai perusahaan (thitung 5.041 > ttabel 1.992); (4) ukuran dewan komisaris, komisaris independen dan ukuran perusahaan secara simultan berpengaruh signifikan terhadap nilai perusahan (Fhitung14.577 > Ftabel 2.72).

Salah satu penyebab terjadinya krisis global pada tahun 2008 adalah karena tidak berjalannya fungsi pemeriksaan intern baik dalam lembaga keuangan maupun bank yang memberikan kredit perumahan kepada para debitur. Maka dari itu diperlukan fungsi pemeriksaan intern yang baik untuk mengawasi pelaksanaan kegiatan persetujuan kredit khususnya pada pemeriksaan operasional. Hal ini penting karena pelaksanaan yang sesuai dengan standar operasi dan prosedur akan lebih mengurangi resiko gagal bayar. Lembaga keuangan harus memperhatikan kelayakan para kreditur, tetapi di sisi lain lembaga tersebut juga harus bisa menyalurkan dana yang dimilikinya agar mendapatkan keuntungan. Dalam penelitian ini penulis ingin mengetahui pengaruh pemeriksaan operasional terhadap pelaksanaan standar operasi dan prosedur, pengaruh pemeriksaan operasional terhadap standar operasi dan prosedur persetujuan kredit, dan pengaruh pemeriksaan operasional terhadap efektifitas pelaksanaan kredit. Penulis menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif dengan melakukan riset dokumen (Content Analysis) dalam menganalisa dokumen-dokumen persetujuan kredit yang ada di Koperasi Padat Asih pada tahun 2007-2009. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah sebagai berikut: (1) Tingkat kredit macet tahun 2007 sebesar 1,96%, (2) Tahun 2008 sebesar 1,55%, dan (3) Tahun 2009 sebesar 0,81%. Pemeriksaaan operasionalmemberikan pengaruh yang baik bagi pelaksanaan standar operasi dan prosedur berdasarkan menurunnya tingkat kredit macet yang terjadi. Pemeriksaan operasional tidak memberikan pengaruh terhadap standar operasi dan prosedur persetujuan kredit berdasarkan tidak adanya perubahan yang terjadi dalam standar operasi dan prosedur persetujuan kredit. Pemeriksaan operasional memberikan pengaruh yang baik terhadap efektivitas pelaksanaan kredit berdasarkan menurunnya tingkat kredit macet yang terjadi.

Жүктелген дербес туындылы дифференциалдық теңдеулер жүйесі үшін бейлокальді шеттік есеп зерттеледі. Мұндай шеттік есептер физикалық, биологиялық, экологиялық және басқа процестердің математикалық, оның ішінде қолданбалы есептердің дифференциалдық моделі түрінде кездеседі. Жүктелген дифференциалдық теңдеулер тұйық популяцияның динамикасын, қатты ортада болатын процестерді және т. б. сипаттайды.
Жүктелген дифференциалдық теңдеулер интегро-дифференциалдық теңдеулердің интегралдық мүшесін ауыстыру кезінде, сондай-ақ интегро-дифференциалдық теңдеулер жүйесінің жуықталған шешімін құру кезінде пайда болады. Жүктелген дифференциалдық теңдеулер үшін бейлокальді шектелген шеттік есептер айтарлықтай қызығушылық тудырады. Жүктелген дифференциалдық теңдеулердің кейбір кластары үшін есептерді зерттеудің конструктивті әдістерін құруға арналған жұмыстардың едәуір саны бар. Белгілі болғандай, әр түрлі әдістермен осындай теңдеулер үшін шеттік есептердің шешімінің бар және жалғыз болуының шарттары алынды.
Екінші ретті дербес туындылы дифференциалдық теңдеу үшін бейлокальді шеттік есебінің бір мәнді шешімділігі зерттелді. Жүктелген дербес туындылы дифференциалдық теңдеу үшін бейлокальді шеттік есептің және бірінші ретті дербес туындылы дифференциалдық теңдеу мен байланыстырушы интегралдық қатынас үшін бейлокальді шартты шеттік есептің шешімдерінің эквиваленттілігі тағайындалды.
Қарастырылған шеттік есептің шешімін табу алгоритмі ұсынылған.
