Menimbang kembali Formula Efisiensi pada Evaluasi Kinerja Anggaran
Authors: Suliantoro Irwan
Published: September 2020

Evaluasi Kinerja Anggaran merupakan rangkaian proses yang mencakup pengukuran, penilaian, dan analisis kinerja anggaran untuk menyusun rekomendasi dalam rangka peningkatan kinerja anggaran. Kinerja anggaran dapat berupa capaian output kegiatan dan capaian/realisasi anggaran. Makna anggaran di sini mengacu pada alokasi anggaran yang diterima oleh Kementerian/Lembaga (K/L). Aktivitas pada proses evaluasi (kinerja anggaran) mencakup pengukuran, penilaian, dan analisis kinerja. Pengukuran kinerja melibatkan aspek efisiensi. Efisiensi diukur dengan sebuah formula yang telah ditetapkan. Penulisan artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah formula efisiensi yang ditetapkan sudah konsisten hasilnya untuk berbagai skenario. Pembahasan pada artikel ini dilakukan dengan melakukan simulasi terhadap  data realisasi volume keluaran, realisasi volume indikator keluaran, dan realisasi anggaran. Simulasi dilakukan pada formula efisiensi dengan cara mengubah angka pada ketiga data tersebut.  Dari hasil simulasi terhadap berbagai skenario dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat ketidakkonsistenan hasil angka efisiensi.  Ketidakkonsistenan hasil angka efisiensi tersebut dapat dilihat dari sisi capaian output dan dari sisi capaian anggaran. Implikasi dari ketidakakuratan tersebut menjadikan nilai kinerja anggaran  menjadi tidak akurat. Dampak berikutnya akan menimbulkan bias pada mekanisme pemberian insentif atas kinerja anggaran K/L.

Published: September 2020

Изучен пищевой спектр морского ерша (скорпены) – Scorpaena porcus Linnaeus, 1758 на особях, отловленных в Балаклавской, Стрелецкой, Севастопольской и Карантинной бухтах г. Севастополя. Зимой, весной и осенью в пищевом комке S. porcus преобладают Malacostraca (15, 19 и 14 % соответственно), летом – Pisces (14 %). В 2017–2018 гг. по сравнению с данными прошлого века и начала нынешнего столетия (до 2014 г. включительно) изменилось пищевое разнообразие объектов питания S. porcus. Переход ерша на питание более мелкими видами Malacostraca произошёл из-за резкого сокращения численности Decapoda по сравнению с прошлым веком
Entre la pulcritud lingüística y el mito cultural de la Atenas suramericana: la circulación de impresos entre Colombia y México a finales del siglo XIX
Authors: Llano Fabián Andrés
Published: September 2020

El siguiente artículo tiene como objetivo discutir sobre los intercambios bibliográficos y las transferencias culturales que establecieron algunos letrados y eruditos con las academias, las librerías y la circulación de impresos entre México y Colombia a finales del siglo XIX. Esta red de comunicación, que incluyó corresponsales, libreros y diferentes intermediarios en el intercambio bibliográfico fue animada por el respeto y la admiración hacia los letrados colombianos y el culto al lenguaje. Este rastreo se realiza principalmente mediante el análisis epistolar entre Joaquín García Icazbalceta, Rufino José Cuervo, Miguel Antonio Caro y otros colombianos a partir del año 1875, fecha en la cual se instaura la Academia Mexicana de la Lengua. El texto plantea un análisis del universo epistolar desde una dimensión sociocultural para hacer evidentes unas relaciones de legitimación cultural desde el uso correcto del lenguaje con la producción cultural de finales del siglo XIX. Aunque el punto neurálgico de estas conexiones se articule con la pulcritud lingüística y la producción cultural de ensayos, traducciones y libros eclesiásticos, el papel principal de las librerías y los corresponsales permite evidenciar un dinámico intercambio cultural entre estos países y su conexión identitaria con España.

Sequence Braiding: Visual Overviews of Temporal Event Sequences and Attributes
Authors: Di Bartolomeo Sara , Zhang Yixuan , Sheng Fangfang , Dunne Cody
Published: September 2020

Temporal event sequence alignment has been used in many domains to visualize nuanced changes and interactions over time. Existing approaches align one or two sentinel events. Overview tasks require examining all alignments of interest using interaction and time or juxtaposition of many visualizations. Furthermore, any event attribute overviews are not closely tied to sequence visualizations. We present SEQUENCE BRAIDING, a novel overview visualization for temporal event sequences and attributes using a layered directed acyclic network.SEQUENCE BRAIDING visually aligns many temporal events and attribute groups simultaneously and supports arbitrary ordering, absence, and duplication of events. In a controlled experiment we compare SEQUENCE BRAIDING and IDMVis on user task completion time, correctness, error, and confidence. Our results provide good evidence that users of SEQUENCE BRAIDING can understand high-level patterns and trends faster and with similar error.

Multi-banking automatic teller machine transaction system by utilizing GSM and biometric identification with one single touch
Authors: Imam Muhammad Yasir , Jannat Nabila , Khan Gul Sher
Published: September 2020

Everyone in many banks has many types of bank accounts, people need to bring a lot of ATM cards for their transaction, many types of PINs for each account. In the current system, ATM machine user identification systems depend only on bank ATM cards, safety secret pin code, and also such kind of user ID verification methods which measures are not optimal and sometimes there are incidents where we dismiss our secret security PIN code, lose ATM cards, rob ATM cards, stolen secret PIN code.Weare presenting a fresh concept or idea for the ATM machine user identification scheme, "Multi-banking Automatic Teller Machine Transaction System by Utilizing GSM and Biometric Identification with One Single Touch" to get control of the issues in the current ATM machine system. On the base of the fingerprint identification method which is also one of the most secure systems, unofficial accesses are blocked, as it makes the fingerprint technique a unique recognition for every user. Our introduced system also assures a very secure GSM and OTP based transaction deals. The presented scheme has no hazard in managing many account transaction deals and performs high-level security, compared to the current ATM machine scheme.
Automatic Teller Machine Transaction Approach on the Basis of New era
Authors: Imam Muhammad Yasir , Jannat Nabila , Suleman Muhammad Bilal , Rehman Ayesha
Published: September 2020

The main aim of this article presents a new idea of OTP (one-time-password) and giving brief details of the close-by ATM machine and the amount of cash presently now available in the close-by ATM machine if there is a shortage of cash in ATM we are presently using for transactions. Other than that, we also have a deposit slot in our research paper through which the user can transfer money to their account in a very short time. The amount of cash being withdrawn from the ATM machine is limited. As all of you know that the limitation of Rs.25,000 is withdrawn at one time, which is being allowed for one transaction only. Our research enables us to withdraw a handsome amount of cash within a time period of five minutes utilizing OTP which is counted as for one transaction and the customer can use this service for a handsome amount of cash being withdrawn per day. There is a limit of transactions every day in different banks.
Combatting rumors around the French election: The memorability and effectiveness of fact-checking articles
Authors: Fazio Lisa , Hong Min Kyung , Pillai Raunak M
Published: September 2020

Across four studies, we examined the effectiveness of misinformation debunks created by CrossCheck France during the 2017 French election. We measured both memory for the article and belief in the debunked rumor. In both US and French samples, reading the debunk decreased belief in the false information, even one week later. However, the debunks were much more effective in the US sample, who lacked relevant prior knowledge and political beliefs. Participants failed to remember many of the details from the article, but retrieval practice was beneficial in reducing forgetting over a one-week delay. We saw no difference in debunk efficacy based on the type of headline (question vs negation) or the number of newsroom logos present around the article (one, four, or seven). In addition, informative design features such as an icon identifying the type of misinformation debunked were ignored by readers. Overall, misinformation debunks can be effective at reducing belief in false information, but readers tend to forget the details and ignore peripheral information.
How to Flourish Well: Moral Centrality as an Indicator of Low Egoistic Consequences of Living a Flourishing Life
Authors: Moradi Saleh , Van Quaquebeke Niels , Scarf Damian , Hunter John A
Published: September 2020

Numerous studies suggest that flourishing leads to advantageous personal outcomes. We, however, argue that flourishing does not provide any moral guidance necessary to trigger socio-moral outcomes. The critical qualifier, we argue, is in the degree to which morality is central to an individual’s identity. Accordingly, across four studies, we tested the moderating role of moral centrality in the relation between flourishing and (im)moral social outcomes. Our findings generally support the association between flourishing and moral outcomes is significant for individuals with high levels of moral centrality, flourishing is not significantly associated with moral outcomes in individuals with low moral centrality. Thus, scholars may need to reinterpret previous studies that suggest a positive link between individuals’ flourishing and their worldly interactions.
Examining Moderators and Dyadic Effects of Borderline Personality Features on Mate Retention
Authors: Rufino Sierra , Holden Christopher James
Published: September 2020

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is associated with a number of relationship processes. To expand on this, relationship between borderline personality features (BPF; i.e., a non-clinical assessment of BPD) and mate retention was explored. In the first study, we investigated the relationship between BPF, relationship-contingent self-esteem (RCSE), and mate retention behaviors. We also tested whether threat to the relationship moderated this relationship. It was found that borderline traits predicted cost-inflicting mate retention behaviors, whereas RCSE predicted benefit-provisioning mate retention behaviors. In the second study, we explored the dyadic effects of BPF on mate retention strategies across 256 couples. Notably, partner effects emerged for BPF on cost-inflicting behaviors. Together, these studies provide insight to the relationship functioning of those with BPF.
Factors influencing recovery in opioid substitution treatment: a systematic review and thematic synthesis
Authors: Carlisle Victoria , Maynard Olivia , Padmanathan Prianka , Hickman Matthew , Thomas Kyla Hayley , Kesten Joanna
Published: September 2020

Background and Aims Recovery outcomes for opioid substitution treatment are poorer than those for alcohol and other drugs. In order to understand why this is and to synthesise the findings of a large number of qualitative studies, we conducted a systematic review and thematic synthesis to understand facilitators of and barriers to recovery from opioid dependency. Methods Electronic databases (Pubmed, PsychInfo, CINAHL and Embase) were searched. English language studies exploring the views of adult service user and stakeholders with experiences of opioid substitution treatment were considered for inclusion. Included studies were inductively analysed using thematic synthesis. During analysis, the socioecological model was selected as an analytical framework for organising and making links between themes as it captured the complexity of the topic well. ResultsFrom 3646 screened papers, we included 37 studies reporting the views of 1212 staff and service users. Studies highlighted complex interactions between factors influencing recovery across the five levels of the socioecological model (intrapersonal, inter-personal, organisational, community and policy). Early life experiences of trauma were common; lack of support (both psychological and social) was also a recurring theme resulting in feelings of disconnection and isolation. Stigma played a particularly important role in an individual’s capacity to recover from opioid dependency and cut-across all levels of the socioecological model. Conclusions Interventions targeted at the individual level fail to take account of the complexity of recovery within opioid substitution treatment and may ignore the complex socio-political context that service users and services exist within. Stigma permeates all levels of the opioid substitution treatment system; we suggest that addressing this is likely to improve healthcare encounters, help-seeking, increase access to social support and facilitate community reintegration for individuals receiving opioid substitution treatment.
Need Support and Regulatory Focus in Responding to COVID-19
Authors: Vaughn Leigh Ann , Garvey Chase A. , Chalachan Rachael D.
Published: September 2020

Prevention focus is a self-regulatory orientation that serves the need for security, and promotion focus is a self-regulatory orientation serves the need for growth. From mid-March to early April 2020, did people judge prevention focus to be more useful than promotion focus for responding to COVID-19? Our study tested this hypothesis with 401 American and Canadian participants, who we sampled in 100-person waves in the first four Thursdays of the pandemic. For this study, we developed a new measure of the judged usefulness of promotion and prevention focus. Results supported this hypothesis. Additionally, results showed that the judged usefulness of promotion and prevention focus related positively to support of the psychological needs for autonomy and relatedness, respectively, in responding to COVID-19. Day-to-day differences in autonomy, competence, and relatedness support and in promotion and prevention focus suggest that people were remarkably resilient in the early weeks of the pandemic. Our research could be useful for crafting persuasive advocacy and narrative communications that encourage social distancing to protect others about whom people care most.
Economic situation and time discounting: Does construal level matter?
Authors: Adamkovic Matus , Kačmár Pavol , Martončik Marcel , Babincak Peter
Published: September 2020

A promising factor in explaining the relationship between the economic situation and time preferences is one’s construal level (i.e., the abstractness/concreteness of thinking). In this preregistered experiment (N = 252), A) the effects of construal level manipulation on time discounting as well as B) the relationship between the economic situation and time discounting were examined in tasks involving both real incentives and hypothetical rewards. The objective economic situation but not the subjective economic situation was found to significantly predict delay discounting in the hypothetical scenario, however, neither of the two significantly predicted delay discounting in the task with the real monetary reward. Although there was also a small effect of construal level manipulation on one’s time preferences concerning hypothetical (but not real) rewards, we remain sceptical about this finding. Crucially, it was found that in comparison to the condition without any mindset induction, both low and high construal level manipulation led to more patient decisions-making in the task involving hypothetical rewards. Further replication attempts on this topic are needed and recommended.
Symmetric and Asymmetric Causal Neural Firing Interactions across Striatum, Anterior Cingulate and Prefrontal Cortex during Cognitive Control
Authors: Alexander William , Womelsdorf Thilo
Published: September 2020

Generally, successful performance of complex cognitive tasks depends on the function of interacting regions, including anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) and ventral striatum (VS). During task performance, markers of communication amongst regions in the cognitive control network are frequently observed. Typically, however, these markers are agnostic with respect to the direction in which information passes through the system – although firing rate correlations and enhanced synchrony between regions are suggestive of causal interactions, these approaches are not sufficient for determining the influence of on region on another. In this manuscript, we apply a novel approach to investigate the causal dynamics of regions in the cognitive control network during correct and incorrect performance. Using experiment-averaged time courses recorded from ACC, LPFC, and VS, we identify neurons within each region exhibiting task-sensitive response dynamics and calculate Granger causality for each pair of neurons during salient task events. Cluster analysis of causality time courses identifies significant, bidirectional causality between regions following stimulus and feedback onset.
The truth revisited: Bayesian analysis of individual differences in the truth effect
Authors: Schnuerch Martin , Nadarevic Lena , Rouder Jeffrey N.
Published: September 2020

The repetition-induced truth effect refers to a phenomenon where people rate repeated statements as more likely true than novel statements. In this paper we document qualitative individual differences in the effect. While the overwhelming majority of participants display the usual positive truth effect, a minority are the opposite – they reliably discount the validity of repeated statements, what we refer to as negative truth effect. We examine 8 truth-effect data sets where individual-level data are curated. These sets are composed of 1,105 individuals performing 38,904 judgments. Through Bayes factor model comparison, we show that reliable negative truth effects occur in 5 of the 8 data sets. The negative truth effect is informative because it seems unreasonable that the mechanisms mediating the positive truth effect are the same that lead to a discounting of repeated statements' validity. Moreover, the presence of qualitative differences motivates a different type of analysis of individual differences based on ordinal (i.e., Which sign does the effect have?) rather than metric measures. To our knowledge, this paper reports the first such reliable qualitative differences in a cognitive task.
Revisiting Latin American Media Democratisation Theories and the Populist Factor
Authors: Bracho-Polanco Edmundo
Published: September 2020

This article deals with the following question: How can Latin American media and communication theories help explain the mediatisation of populism and democracy? The article has a twofold goal: a) it contributes to the study of media, populism and democracy in the context of Latin America; b) it aims to raise awareness outside Latin America about the richness of Latin American media and communication theory for the analysis of the mediation of populism and democracy. The article introduces and engages with a variety of theories from Latin America that deal with globalisation, dependency, cultural imperialism, hybridity, and mediation, and reviews their potentials for explaining the mediatisation of populism and democracy. Theories or models of globalisation, dependency and cultural imperialism, and hybridity and mediation are reviewed analytically, as are some of their core critiques as drawn from various strands of thought, with emphasis on incorporating elements of populism theory. As interest grows in both academia and the media towards the ways in which populism is shaping the social and political spheres in the West, partly encouraged by the recent surge of populist leaders in Europe and the United States, past and current experiences and evaluation of Latin American populism can be constructive in understanding the phenomenon and its implications for communication, media and culture. This study finds that, following political shifts in the twenty-first century, Latin American populism represents a paradigm that is articulated to an important degree through communicative specificities and which can add analytical rigor to competing media and communication theories in the region.

Social media, context collapse and the future of data-driven populism
Authors: Guerrero-Solé Frederic , Suárez-Gonzalo Sara , Rovira Cristòfol , Codina Lluís
Published: September 2020

During the last decades populism has become a mainstream ideology in Western democracies (Mudde, 2004; 2016). At the same time, the popularisation of digital platforms has facilitated the process of political communication while social networks have become one of the preferred communicative tools for political populists to spread their messages. Drawing on the idea that computational technologies allow a particular performance of populism (Baldwin-Philippi, 2019), this paper aims to foster a better theoretical understanding of how innovation in communication technologies contribute to the success of populism. It is argued that the characteristics of populism (a focus on ‘the people’, technological savviness and chameleonism) allow it to overcome most of the obstacles put in place by digital networks. In particular, populism is in an ideal situation to deal with the phenomena of context collapse in social media (Boyd; Marwick, 2011). Finally, it is argued that in the era of personalized politics (Bennett, 2012), populists can make use of real-time data-driven techniques to develop successful communicative strategies addressed to mass audiences in order to construct the populist self in the image and likeness of the people. This form of populism is called data-driven populism.

Objective: To review the key points and limitations of potentiating autologous split-thickness skin graft
survival using fibrin glue for the reconstruction of cutaneous defects following oncologic resection of facial
tumors. Case Report: A patient who underwent resection of a facial fibrosarcoma and subsequent
reconstruction by autologous split-thickness skin graft secured with biologic fibrin glue. Results: There was
ninety-percent primary survival of the skin graft at three weeks. Partial necrosis of 10% of the graft surface
was successfully managed by debridement and topical application of honey. Conclusion: The time-honored
autologous split-thickness skin graft is a useful means of reconstructing cutaneous defects after resection of
facial tumors. The application of fibrin glue may avoid the conventional bolster dressing used to stabilize
the graft during the early postoperative period.

Authors: Prajoko Yan Wisnu , Supit Tommy
Published: September 2020

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic affects all healthcare services, including cancer care. Consequently, our institution implemented several changes in accordance with the National guidelines for managing COVID-19 transmission. However, the patients’ perception of such changes is unknown. The objective of this study is to explore the knowledge of cancer patients on COVID-19, their perceptions towards the changes in oncology service, and to identify key elements that contribute to their level of anxiety or comfort. Methods: Written questionnaires were given out to cancer patients indicated or undergoing chemotherapy between 23rd June and 3rd July 2020 in a tertiary referral hospital. Data collection was performed 75 days after the implementation of hospital and oncology services changes in response to COVID-19. Results: A total of 221 cancer patients participated in this study. The majority of patients possess adequate knowledge and practice appropriate preventive actions. They expressed a positive attitude towards the changes in hospital policies and contented with the consistency of chemotherapy services. The television and internet (social media, communication apps) were the main sources of information for the patient.Conclusion: Our institution managed to maintain the consistency of chemotherapy services, despite the implementation of several changes in hospital and treatment policies. With adequate education, patients can remain content and express a positive attitude towards the changes in their treatment experience. Both health care personnel and policymakers should consistently be updated with the continuous surge of publications regarding COVID-19 and adjust their decisions with the best evidence-based practice.

Published: September 2020

Introduction: The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome cronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2). The management of cancer patients is very challenging during the COVID-19 pandemic. Cancer itself as well as anticancer treatment leads to compromised immunity of patients with increased risk of infection. This is turn leads to increased hospital visits. It forms a vicious cycle that increases the risk of COVID-19 susceptibility to cancer patients. Patients on anticancer treatment alongwith COVID-19 infection have higher risk of morbidity and mortality. Aim: To compare the epidemiological characteristics and management decisions in gallbladder cancer patients during COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Patna. Patients were divided into two group pre-COVID (patients attending radiotherapy department from December 2019 to February 2020) and established-COVID group patients (patients attending radiotherapy department from March 2020 to May 2020) with histopathological confirmed diagnosis of gallbladder cancer. Results: Histopathological confirmed cases of gallbladder cancer (n=85) were analyzed, 56 patients from pre-COVID timeline and 29 patients from established-COVID timeline were selected. During the pre-COVID timeline, 55.4% of the patients directly visited the radiotherapy department while, 24.1% patients directly attended the radiotherapy department during the established-COVID time. This reduction of number of patients at radiotherapy department was statistically significant (p = 0.006). There was statistically significant reduction (p = 0.014) in number of patients attending from rural areas during established-COVID time. Chemotherapy regimen used during pre-COVID and establishedCOVID timeline was significantly (p < 0.001) different. Conclusion: Cancer patient management during COVID-19 pandemic is an important issue. Chemotherapy increases the risk of COVID-19 infection by reducing the immunity. Single agent oral capecitabine is a good option for patients of gallbladder cancer in the adjuvant or palliative settings with less toxicity and requiring less hospital visits compared to intravenous chemotherapy.

The relevance of the study is due to the fact that for biathlon, which is a seasonal sport, it is typical to carry out training based on annual macrocycles. Individual preparation differs in the duration of its individual stages, namely the periods, the number of main and preparatory competitions. The purpose of the study is to analyze the issues of managing the process of physical training of biathletes based on an analysis of literary sources Material and methods. The volume of scientific and methodological literature, dissertations, monographs and online sources on the research issue is investigated. The results of the study. As a result of the analysis of the literature, it was found that in the preparatory period, the main factors that ensure the development of athletes' physical readiness are “functional readiness”, “special  endurance”, “special strength and technical preparedness” and “speed-strength preparedness. When developing an individual plan for training athletes, it is important to take into account the orientation of the training process into a separate mesocycle, the need to use such methods, namely: enhancing the development of basic qualities, increasing the level of athletes who are behind in physical training, and those who have an average level of development – it is necessary to improve in optimal mode. Key findings. The effectiveness of training, namely physical training in highly qualified biathletes in the annual cycle can be ensured provided that training sessions are created on the basis of model characteristics of competitive activity and physical fitness of biathletes, mainly to improve speed and strength endurance and increase the role of speed and strength training

Menzil okçuluğu ilk olarak nerede ve ne zaman yapıldığı kesin olarak bilinmemekle birlikte Türk tarihi için çok önemli bir yere sahip olan Dede Korkut hikayelerindeuzağa ok atmak olarak rastlanılmaktadır (Yücel, 2015:67).

Menzil Okçuluğu, Osmanlı Devleti’nin en önemli sporlarından biri olduğu söylenebilir. Çünkü sadece menzil okçuluğu için hemen hemen bütün önemli şehirlerinde ok meydanı kurulmuştur. İlk ok meydanının nerede kurulduğuna dair ise çeşitli fikirler mevcuttur. Kunter, ilk ok meydanının Bursa da yapıldığını belirtirken (Kunter, 1942), Yücel, Edirne olarak bildirmiştir. Asıl olan ise 38 farklı meydan ve 100 den fazla menzil olduğudur (Yücel, 2015:69; Acar ve Özveri, 2017). Evliya Çelebi de Seyahatname adlı eserinde birçok şehirde ok meydanının varlığından söz etmiştir (Akın Zorba, 2014).

Osmanlı Devleti’nde menzil okçusu olabilmek yani kemankeş sayılabilmek için ahlaki ve fiziki yeterliliğe sahip olmak gerekirdi. Kemankeş eğitimi oldukça zorluydu. Meydanlarda atış yapmadan önce bir atıcının, bir üstatdan ilk olarak Küçük kabza ve Büyük Kabza alması gerekirdi(Güven, 1999). Atıcıların (kemankeş) yalnız iyi birer atıcı olması yetmezdi. Aralarında her türlü rekabetin üstünde, saygı ve sevgiye dayanan bir dostluk ve kardeşlik havasının esmesine de dikkat edilirdi. İhtiyarlara, kıdemli atıcılara ve üstada saygı göstermek şarttı. Risalelerde, ünlü okçuların bibyografileri verilirken sadece atıcılık gücü değil, aynı zamanda ne kadar sağlam bir kişilik ve karakter sahibi oldukları da belirtilirdi (Göksu, 2018).

Bu çalışmada menzil okçusu olabilmek için gerekli olan eğitimin sistematik ve bilimsel olarak nasıl verildiği üzerinde durularak menzil okçuluğu bağlamında bir eğitimi kurumu olarak okçuluğun şahsiyet ve değerler eğitimi boyutu da eldeki kaynaklar ışığında açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır.

OBJECTIVE

A variety of factors contribute to an increasingly challenging environment for neurological surgery residents to develop psychomotor skills in microsurgical technique solely from operative training. While adjunct training modalities such as cadaver dissection and surgical simulation are embraced and practiced at our institution, there are no formal educational milestones defined to help residents develop, measure, and advance their microsurgical psychomotor skills in a stepwise fashion when outside the hospital environment. The objective of this report is to describe an efficient and convenient “home microsurgery lab” (HML) assembled and tested by the authors with the goal of supporting a personalized stepwise advancement of microsurgical psychomotor skills.

METHODS

The authors reviewed the literature on previously published simulation practice models and designed adjunct learning modules utilizing the HML. Five milestones were developed for achieving proficiency with each graduated exercise, referencing the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) guidelines. The HML setup was then piloted with 2 neurosurgical trainees.

RESULTS

The total cost for assembling the HML was approximately $850. Techniques for which training was provided included microinstrument handling, tissue dissection, suturing, and microanastomoses. Five designated competency levels were developed, and training exercises were proposed for each competency level.

CONCLUSIONS

The HML offers a unique, entirely home-based, affordable adjunct to the operative neurosurgical education mandated by the ACGME operative case logs, while respecting resident hospital-based education hours. The HML provides surgical simulation with specific milestones, which may improve confidence and the microsurgical psychomotor skills required to perform microsurgery, regardless of case type.

An in-depth study of the biology of tumor growth will help to identify factors that allow us to understand the pathogenetic mechanisms of the development of ovarian cancer metastasis and progression, as well as to become a theoretical basis for developing new approaches to the treatment of this disease. The aim of this study was to determine immunohistochemical and endothelial criteria for ovarian cancer. The postoperative samples of ovarian tumor tissues were divided into 3 groups: comparison group - ovarian cancer; main group - borderline ovarian tumor; benign ovarian tumors. The study was conducted according to the FIGO 2009 classification. The International Histological Classification of WHO 2013 Female Genital Tumors was used for morphological characteristics. Level of growth factors - sVEGF-A was performed by ELISA using standard test systems (BenderMedSystem, Austria). IGC material studies were performed on serial paraffin sections using a standard method with murine monoclonal antibodies to p53 (clone D0-7. Dilution 1: 100. "Dako"). Ventana Medical Systems, Inc. was used as the detection system. Positive and negative control reactions were performed. The label index (MI) was used to evaluate p53 nuclear expression. WCIF ImageJ and Aperio Image Scope were used to estimate the number and degree of cell staining. Statistical analysis of the obtained data was performed using Statistica 6.0. The results of morphological studies of ovarian cancer showed that in our study patients with serous cancer predominated - 78.5%. The second most frequently diagnosed cancer was undifferentiated. In the second stage of our study, we conducted a comparative analysis of the concentration of p53 in the serum and tissue of patients in the study groups, which showed the existence of significant differences. In patients of the POY and DOY groups, both total and local p53 protein activity were significantly higher than in the comparison group, p <0.05. There was a positive correlation between p53 protein activity in serum and ovarian tissue. Serum VEGF A scores were statistically significantly correlated with the disease stage: Spearman rank correlation coefficient rho = 0.30; 95% CI = 0.02 - 0.536, p <0.05. There were no correlations with patients' age, histological subtype, and degree of tumor differentiation. Considering the results of our study, we can conclude that the criterion-important indicators of QA are serum levels of p53 and the index of serum VEGF A, which is confirmed by the results of ROC analysis p = 0.0026, and indicates a good informativeness of the method.

The relevance of the research is associated with an increasing interest to the ethical role both in social life and in business management. Some experts and analysts suggest that if organizations have a high ethical level they can reach significant results and prosperity, whereas those with a low ethical level are prone to regression, stagnation or ultimate failure. In the medical staff survey questionnaire, we have used English scholar's profile following the principle of «right-wrong answers». It includes 15 typical business-like situations describing a problem of ethical norm choice in professional activities. The survey enrolled 121 people from three different medical organizations: PHC (Primary Health Centre), Military medics and Regional Laboratory Centre doctors. Each team included both male and female doctors, and also only female nurses. Data showed a high ethical level in Military medics' team who followed the rules and orders with the ethical deductions. Ethical analysis of medical staff based on the gender dimension revealed women to be more ethically oriented than men. Training and ethical behavior improving should be an inherent part of medical staff development both in medical organizations and during skill improvement courses and training. The issues of ethical conduct and developing ethical skills of medical staff should be introduced in academic curricula of post-graduate studies for both doctors and nurses.
