Ontology and XML-based Specifications for Collaborative B2B Relationships
Authors: Caliusco Laura , Galli Rosa , Chiotti Omar
Published: October 2018

A collaborative B2B relationship implies jointly executing business processes. This relationship demands a complete access to available information and knowledge to support decision-making activities between trading partners. To support information interchange between enterprises in collaborative B2B e- commerce there are some XML-based standards technologies, like RosettaNet, ebXML and OAGIS. However, XML does not express semantics by itself. So, these standards only provide an infrastructure to support the information interchange. They are suitable to integrate information but not to support decision-making activities where a common understanding of the information is needed. In this paper we analyze the integration of these standards with ontology to describe the meaning of the information and knowledge interchanged between trading partners to jointly execute business processes. Furthermore, we define the main components of an ontology development environment to support the entire ontology lifecycle.
Conceptual Microarchitectures for Hydrologic Simulation Models
Authors: Urciuolo Adriana , Rodolfo Iturraspe , Parson Ariel
Published: October 2018

Mathmatical Hydrologic models simulate real world environmental processes through different strategies. Each process is calculated by means of methods that utilize physical parameters for representing the real world system. some parameters are obtained from tables, some of them are optimized and others may be calculated using environmental variables. Although the domain software provides a wide range of models, there is not a conceptual architecture that allows the maintenance of the vast knowledge about simulation strategies and parameters collected in environmental management organizations, facilitating the flexible simulation scenarios configuration. The present work shows how to face this problem by means of conceptual analysis models organized in the scope of a general architecture.It's also possible for the given architecture, to analyze and define microarchitectures for software components releated to particular problems.In the present work, conceptual microarchitectures are definesd to construct a knowlegde level for hydrologic models systems starting from a general conceptual Environmental Information Systems architecture. To get the required flexibility for the conceptual and design models, high-level components are identified and different kinds of patterns are applied.

Published: October 2018

This research aimed to analyses migrants’ income contribution to income of the family at hometown, the influences of income, age, numbers of family to be responsible to, education, and marriage status on decision about migration in Kebumen. The method used in the research was survey of primary data which is gained through interviews and questionnaires. The data in this research were 91 migrants in Alian and Ayah Districts. Data analysis techniques used were binary logistic regression. The results showed that the contribution of migrants’ income to family’s income after migrating to the two districts was in medium level. It showed that the needs to live in migration place were expensive. Consequently, the income obtained in migration place could not give enough contribution to the family in hometown. Based on the analysis, the variable of the numbers of people the migrants had positive and significant effect for migration. Income and marriage variables status had negative and significant effect. While age and education variables had no contribution to the migration. Income is the most influential factor in migration, so the government or related organizations should give attentions to the citizen’s prosperity by creating making the job activities. The government and the society should cooperate in developing the economic potential in each area. It is also by giving the society some loans and work-skill coaching or education to increase their income. Those are to encourage the society to be more creative and autonomous.Keywords: Binary Logistic Regression, Citizen’s Prosperity, Marriage Status.
FDI, Political Risk, and Government Policy
Authors: Simanjuntak Damiana
Published: October 2018

Investment will create a multiplier effect for the economy, especially investments from abroad which may also encourage the technology spillover and innovation process. Political risk and government investment policy are two factors considered by investors in investing. This research aimed to determine the effect of these two factors on foreign direct investment (FDI) in Indonesia. This research used data of FDI in Indonesia in 2010-2017, during which there were three changes in foreign direct investment policies in Indonesia and one political year. Using panel data analysis, this research found that government policy in revising the negative investment list had no significant effect on FDI flows in Indonesia. It can be seen that the sector effect experiencing a tightening of foreign asset ownership limitation on FDI was greater than the sector effect experiencing loosening of asset ownership limitation by foreign parties. In addition, this research found that political risk had no significant effect on FDI in Indonesia.Keywords: FDI, Politics, Policy.

Various heterogeneous devices or objects shall be integrated for transplant and seamless communication under the umbrella of internet of things (IoT). It would facilitate the open accession of data for the growth of a glut of digital services. To build a general framework of IoT is very complex task because of heterogeneity in devices, technologies, platforms and services, operating in the same system. In this paper, we mainly focus on the framework for big data analytics in smart city applications , which being a broad category specifies the different domains for each application. IoT is intended to support the vision of Smart City, where advance technologies will be used for communication for the quality life of citizens. A novel approach used in this paper, is for enhancing the energy conservation and to reduce the delay in big data gathering at tiny sensor nodes used in IoT framework. To implement the smart city scenario in terms of big data in IoT, an efficient (optimized in quality of service) WSN is required where communication of nodes is energy effcient. That is why, a new protocol QoS-IoT is proposed on the top layer of the architecture which is validated over the traditional protocols.

Published: October 2018

Stemborer pests contribute to significant maize crop yield loses incurred by the smallholder famers in Ethiopia. The problem requires requires concerted effort to learn and adopt new innovations to find a long lasting solution. In this study, the on-farm implementation of the push-pull technology (PPT) was used as a platform for interaction and enhancing the social learning among the stakeholders in the maize growing Woredas of Bako Tibe, Jimma Arjo and Yayu in the Oromia region. The main stakeholders were the smallholder maize farmers, researchers and the extension staffs. The study took place between August 2014 to May 2015. The PPT is a biological based strategy addresses the stemborer pest problem in maize crop. Under the strategy, maize crop is intercropped with a stemborer moth repellent fodder legume, Desmodium (the push) together with an attractant trap plant, Napier/Brachiaria grass (the pull) planted around maize-legume intercrop. The study was implemented based on the transdisciplinary action research approach and qualitative data collected during focus group discussions, key informant interviews, stakeholder workshops, participant observations and on-farm PPT demonstrations. The findings show that, the involvement of different stakeholders in joint PPT activities in an interactive environment is an innovation in itself.  It creates opportunities for the stakeholders’ empowerment as well as deliberating on the contributions from each other to overcome uncertainties about the technology and create new knowledge. The intercropping strategy of maize with Desmodium and Napier/Brachiaria is used to reintroduce the traditional mixed cropping system of smallholder agriculture as strategy for control of pests.

Published: October 2018

In the present paper an integrated approach of a wide range of non-destructive tests (NDTs) was applied to study an archeological ruined building located in Rome, the so-called Temple of Minerva Medica. Applied NDTs focused on the monument properties and environmental conditions affecting its structural behavior (geometry, thermal and mechanical properties, microclimatic monitoring, ambient vibration response). Two surveys were performed in August and December 2016 combining 3D laser scanning, thermal infrared, air temperature and relative humidity acquisitions. In addition, high resolution digital images were acquired and processed by stereo-photogrammetry Structure from Motion (SfM) methodology, carried out for detailed reconstruction of the crack pattern of the monument. In order to obtain information on the integrity and consistency of the masonry, a sonic testing of each pillar was also performed. The integration of the above NDTs provided quite complete and comprehensive understanding of the structural behavior and state of the building, reducing the amount of invasive measurements further needed.
Infrared Thermography technique (IRT) for the evaluation of the hydric behavior of building stones
Authors: Forestieri Giulia , Álvarez de Buergo Mónica
Published: October 2018

The water distribution into stone specimens in laboratory conditions is evaluated through the infrared thermography method (IRT). Porous building stones samples (calcarenite and sandstone) are examined under stable laboratory conditions (controlled temperature and relative humidity) in order to simulate the same hydric behavior in real scale of material systems in situ. Hydric tests monitored through IRT are performed in order to analyze the capillary water absorption and evaporation transport phenomena into stone samples. IRT technique allows to record thermal images at different intervals of time highlighting the internal capillary and evaporation rise heights, responsible for the majority of decay processes occurring in masonries. The geometric shape of the damped area and the time of spreading are directly related to the open porosity of the investigated stone materials. Hydric tests are repeated for each splitting plane of the specimens (faces), in order to obtain useful results that could be applied for real masonries. Results demonstrate the usefulness of IRT as a non-destructive and portable technique in the field of new construction and for restoration purposes, as well as its importance in characterizing the physical stone features and the effectiveness of applied conservation treatments.
Digital heritage dissemination and the participatory storytelling project #iziTRAVELSicilia: the case of the Archaeological Museum of Syracuse (Italy)
Authors: Bonacini Elisa , Tanasi Davide , Trapani Paolo
Published: October 2018

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how the participatory and crowdsourcing project #iziTRAVELSicilia could be a key to the dissemination of 3D models on cultural heritage. This project has been recognized as a best practice both in territorial digital marketing and in digital promotion and valorisation through storytelling and crowdsourcing culture. #iziTRAVELSicilia has already involved thousands of people, producing more than 180 museum and tour audio guides. It has become a real model of participation in the co-creation of cultural values. In this paper we briefly present the project and the case of the Archaeological Museum ‘Paolo Orsi’ in Syracuse (Italy), as best practice on digital dissemination through platforms such as Google Street View and izi.TRAVEL itself, revealing how this platform has been already largely used for the dissemination both of existing 3D models and for new 3D models, such as those made by USF IDEx for the ‘Paolo Orsi’ Museum. Specifically, a collection of 26 ancient sculptures has been virtualized via laser scanning and digital photogrammetry in a participatory experience of measurement science. The global dissemination of those 3D models through izi.TRAVEL’s platform and other alternatives platforms will represent a significant contribute to the digital accessibility of the Museum of Syracuse but also the starting point of a metrological 3D database of ancient Sicilian sculpture generated entirely crowdsourcing.

Published: October 2018

Several digital technologies are nowadays developed and applied to the study of the human fossil record. Here, we present a low-cost hardware implementation of the digital acquisition via photogrammetry, applied to a specimen of paleoanthropological interest: the Neanderthal skull Saccopastore 1. Such implementation has the purpose to semi-automatize the procedures of digital acquisition, by the introduction of an automatically rotating platform users can easily build on their own with minimum costs. We provide all the technical specifications, mostly based on the Arduino UNO™ microcontroller technology, and evaluate the performance and the resolution of the acquisition by comparing it with the CT-scan of the same specimen through the calculation of their shape differences. In our opinion, the replication of the automatic rotating platform, described in this work, may contribute to the improvement of the digital acquisition processes and may represent, in addition, a useful and affordable tool for both research and dissemination.

Authors: Bishop Meghan E. , Seigo Michaela A. , Hadley Christopher J. , Freedman Kevin B.
Published: October 2018

Case:

This report describes 2 cases of failed decellularized “off-the-shelf” Chondrofix (Zimmer Biomet) osteochondral allografts within a year after implantation in a 44-year-old man and a 50-year-old woman.

Conclusion:

Although it is a successful technique for cartilage repair, the use of osteochondral allograft transplantation has been limited by the availability of fresh grafts; therefore, decellularized osteochondral allografts recently have been developed. Physicians should be cautious when considering the use of these implants for the repair of articular cartilage lesions.
Intraoperative Neuromonitoring for Brachial Plexus Neurolysis During Delayed Fixation of a Clavicular Fracture Presenting as Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
Authors: Ashman Bradley D. , Tewari Anurag , Castle Joshua , Hasan Samer S. , Bhatia Sanjeev
Published: October 2018

Case:

Brachial plexopathy is a rare complication of nonoperatively treated clavicular fractures. We describe a 68-year-old man who presented with fracture-callus-induced acute brachial plexopathy and dynamic thoracic outlet syndrome after 9 weeks of nonoperative management for a clavicular fracture. He underwent fracture fixation with brachial plexus decompression via callus excision; intraoperative neuromonitoring was used to evaluate brachial plexus function. Postsurgery, his neurologic function recovered completely.

Conclusion:

Intraoperative neuromonitoring is a useful tool for minimizing the risk of additional brachial plexus injury and determining the adequacy of neural decompression during delayed open reduction and internal fixation of clavicular fractures with fracture-callus-induced brachial plexus compression.

Authors: Hirao Makoto , Ebina Kosuke , Tsuboi Hideki , Nampei Akihide , Tsuji Shigeyoshi , Noguchi Takaaki , Owaki Hajime , Yoshikawa Hideki , Hashimoto Jun
Published: October 2018

Background:

Arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint has been recommended for severe hallux valgus deformity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. We developed an alternative procedure that preserves motion of the first MTP joint while restoring alignment and balance to the forefoot. This procedure was shown to be effective in a series of 60 patients with a 3-year follow-up.

Description:

We perform a modified Scarf osteotomy, with the longitudinal first metatarsal cut parallel to the sole of the foot and with shortening of the metatarsal to realign the first ray. This is combined with an interpositional capsular arthroplasty of the first MTP joint and shortening offset osteotomies of the lesser metatarsals.

Alternatives:

Alternatives include arthrodesis of the first MTP joint combined with resection arthroplasty of the lesser MTP joints, or of all 5 MTP joints, or perhaps interpositional (total) joint arthroplasty for severe rheumatoid forefoot deformity/destruction.

Rationale:

The purpose of the modified Scarf osteotomy is preservation of motion of the first MTP joint and protection against destruction of the rheumatoid joint. The metatarsal shortening offset osteotomy provides rigid stabilization at the site of osteotomy after dynamic correction to make the transverse arch.

Authors: HIDALGO PRIETO Rafael , MARFIL RUlZ Pedro
Published: October 2018

En este artículo presentamos un avance de resultados de la Excavación Arqueológica que se desarrolla en los terrenos de Cercadilla en Córdoba. Puede destacarse la constatación de la existencia en el yacimiento de restos de un palatium construido a fines del s. III o inicios del IV dC. y en uso hasta el s. V dC. El palatium se articula en torno a un criptopórtico con pasillo superior semicircular de 109 m. de diámetro, con aulas triconques en los extremos, desde el que se distribuye el paso a una serie de edificios radiales. El espacio en exedra circunscribe una plaza central cerrada por un cuerpo de acceso con entrada torreada. Las características de monumentalidad y complejidad del conjunto tardorromano, el predominio de plantas basilicales y la inexistencia de zonas de hábitat doméstico nos llevan a plantear como hipótesis su carácter público y su adscripción al tipo palatium como centro administrativo durante el s.IV.

Monitoring continuous spectrum observables: the strong measurement limit
Authors: Bauer Michel , Bernard Denis , Jin Tony
Published: October 2018

We revisit aspects of monitoring observables with continuous spectrum
in a quantum system subject to dissipative (Lindbladian) or conservative
(Hamiltonian) evolutions. After recalling some of the salient features
of the case of pure monitoring, we deal with the case when monitoring is
in competition with a Lindbladian evolution. We show that the strong
measurement limit leads to a diffusion on the spectrum of the
observable. For the case with competition between observation and
Hamiltonian dynamics, we exhibit a scaling limit in which the crossover
between the classical regime and a diffusive regime can be analyzed in
details.
The genetics of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Authors: Akhtar Mohammed , Elliott Perry
Published: October 2018

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is most commonly transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait, caused by mutations in genes encoding cardiac sarcomere proteins. Other inheritable causes of the disease include mutations in genes coding for proteins important in calcium handling or that form part of the cytoskeleton. At present, the primary clinical role of genetic testing in HCM is to facilitate familial screening to allow the identification of individuals at risk of developing the disease. It is also used to diagnose genocopies, such as lysosomal and glycogen storage disease which have different treatment strategies, rates of disease progression and prognosis. The role of genetic testing in predicting prognosis is limited at present, but emerging data suggest that knowledge of the genetic basis of disease will assume an important role in disease stratification and offer potential targets for disease-modifying therapy in the near future.

The present study establishes whether the pH of samples is crucial for measuring total carnitine in human plasma by tandem mass spectrometry and if it is necessary to neutralize the samples after alkaline hydrolysis of acylcarnitines. Free and total carnitine of ten plasma samples were measured by a radioenzymatic assay as a reference method, and forward there were analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry divided into two groups: treated with hydrochloric acid and without hydrochloric acid measuring each sample five times for both variables. Free and total carnitine concentrations were similar for the radioenzymatic essay and tandem mass spectrometry. There was no significant difference between the two analyzed variables (treated with hydrochloric acid and without hydrochloric acid). It could be concluded that the pH of samples is no crucial for measuring total carnitine in plasma by tandem mass spectrometry, and it is not necessary to neutralize the samples after alkaline hydrolysis of acylcarnitines, then the shorter method, without adding hydrochloric acid can be used for total carnitine measurement in plasma by tandem mass spectrometry

Authors: Herazo Edwin , Campo-Arias Adalberto , Alexander Dávila Nelson
Published: October 2018

Está bien establecido que los estresores vitales durante la infancia, en particular el abuso sexual, se asocian a trastorno de ansiedad y trastorno de estrés postraumático; sin embargo, se cuenta con menor información sobre la relación entre las diferentes formas de abuso o maltrato y los trastornos de ansiedad incluidos actualmente en esta categoría por la Asociación Americana de Psiquiatría. Aquí se realizó una meta-revisión de la asociación entre estresores vitales durante la infancia (abuso emocional, abuso físico, abuso sexual y negligencia) y trastornos de ansiedad (trastorno de pánico, trastorno de ansiedad generalizada y trastorno de ansiedad social). Se llevó a cabo una meta-revisión de revisiones sistemáticas y meta-análisis que analizaron la asociación de estresores vitales durante la infancia y trastornos de ansiedad, publicadas en Medline entre enero del 2000 y junio de 2016. La calidad de las revisiones se valoró con el cuestionario AMSTAR. Se incluyeron tres trabajos que mostraron que los estresores vitales durante la infancia y los trastornos de ansiedad se asociaron significativamente: razones de oportunidad (OR) entre 2,0 y 3,0. Se concluyó que los estresores vitales durante la infancia incrementan el riesgo de trastornos de ansiedad. Se necesitan intervenciones para prevenir el maltrato infantil y así reducir la morbilidad relacionada.

Published: October 2018

Background

Digital tools have the potential to support patient activation and shared decision making in the face of increasing levels of mental health problems in young people. There is a need for feasibility trials of digital interventions to determine the usage and acceptability of interventions. In addition, there is a need to determine the ability to recruit and retain research participants to plan rigorous effectiveness trials and, therefore, develop evidence-based recommendations for practice.

Objective

This study aimed to determine the feasibility of undertaking a cluster randomized controlled trial to test the effectiveness of a smartphone app, Power Up, co-designed with young people to support patient activation and shared decision making for mental health.

Methods

Overall, 270 young people were screened for participation and 52.5% (142/270) were recruited and completed baseline measures across 8 specialist child mental health services (n=62, mean age 14.66 (SD 1.99) year; 52% [32/62] female) and 2 mainstream secondary schools (n=80; mean age 16.88 [SD 0.68] years; 46% [37/80] female). Young people received Power Up in addition to management as usual or received management as usual only. Posttrial interviews were conducted with 11 young people from the intervention arms (specialist services n=6; schools n=5).

Results

Usage data showed that there were an estimated 50 (out of 64) users of Power Up in the intervention arms. Findings from the interviews indicated that young people found Power Up to be acceptable. Young people reported (1) their motivation for use of Power Up, (2) the impact of use, and (3) barriers to use. Out of the 142 recruited participants, 45.0% (64/142) completed follow-up measures, and the approaches to increase retention agreed by the steering group are discussed.

Conclusions

The findings of this study indicate that the app is acceptable, and it is feasible to examine the effectiveness of Power Up in a prospective cluster randomized controlled trial.

Published: October 2018

Purworejo Districtis a district with high disaster risk index in Indonesia, especiallylandslide. The main factor that triggers the landslide is rainfall. However, therehas been no comprehensive research on the intensity of rain that triggered the landslide in Purworejo District, especially in the Sub district of Loano. Huge landslide occurred in Loano Sub district at 2016, causing 46 deaths and damages in several houses. Therefore, it is necessary to study the prediction of landslide based on rainfall data and geological conditions of Loano Sub district, Purworejo District. The objective of this research is to analyze the mechanism of landslide, to analyze the rainfall that triggers the landslide and to estimate the intensity of rain that can triggers the landslide. The research method is collecting historical data of landslides in Purworejo District along with rainfall data, geological observation that includes the condition of lithology, geomorphology and hydrogeology,undisturbed soil sampling in Loano Sub district. The prediction of landslide uses empirical methods which were then simulated by Geostudio 2012 Software. The results show that the type of landslide is sliding, the main control factor is the steep slope and the thickness of the soil. The rainfall threshold triggering landslide are as follows for lithology andesite breccia I = 81.782 D􀀀1.197, sandy clay I = 92.579 D􀀀0.13, and andesite intrusionI = 145.32 D􀀀0.338.

Macroscopic texture in coals is not much getting attention to identify, becauseit is believed it doesn’t hold much information about the coal characteristics. It is nottrue because some of important coal characteristics lie in its organic content which is reflected in its macroscopic texture (Moore, 2016). Conventional petrographic method using crushed sample cannot distinguish such feature microscopically, since the macroscopic texture will lose its integrity during the preparation. Petrographic analysis using block samples provide information about microscopic texture that can represents its macroscopic texture. Components in textural analysis are divided into three types based on the size, band (more than 800 μm), lens (20–800 μm) and matrix (less than 20 μm). From the ratio between these three types of component and statistics, later it can be determined that nonbandedsamples have less value of ratio between band and lens per matrix, and there will be a borderline between banded and non-banded samples based on the value. Banded texture in macroscopic feature consists of vitrain bands, and under microscope it can beidentified as band and lens of macerals, while non-banded samples will mostly consist ofmatrix texture. Thus, it can be concluded that petrographic analysis using block samplescan be used to identify microscopic texture representing the macroscopic texture, and can be proven through statistics as used in this research.

Background: Derogation of professional behavior (PB) increased in education, even in medical education revealed cheating during in educational process as best predictor when the students at work placed in the future. The aim of this study is to know the students’ perspective on cheating, altruism and plagiarism.Method: This study was conducted using a qualitative approach. Sampling technique was purposeful sampling with criterion reference. Fifty-two year-one students of medical school of faculty of medicine and health sciences (FMHS) divided into 5 groups, each group consists of 10 to 11 students. The students received teaching learning of PB (three times tutorial with trigger film, reflection and expert panel). Qualitative data from students’ reflection analized using constant comparative method. Results: The results of this study indicated the presence of 6 final themes (i.e., learning value, learning approach, student preparedness, examination strategy, learning spiritual, study plan. Students who had the ability to understand various learning events would have a good study plan, and then could choose appropriate examination strategy to reach success and could avoid blamable event such as cheating. The students who had good learning spiritual and learning value to dilemmatic event, they would be motivated and their heart would be touched, so in their future plan they would try to be altruistic and professional doctor in all situation. There would be influence on positive study plan, make more effort and pried to God, also respect others work, so plagiarism could be avoided.Conclusion: There were 6 final themes of students’ reflection on cheating, altruism and plagiarism after they exposure by teaching learning of PB. They were learning value, learning approach, student preparedness, examination strategy, learning spiritual and study plan.

Background: Interprofessional Education (IPE) is a process occurs when students from two or more professions learn about and from each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes. Faculty initiated the IPE program called Community and Family Health Care - interprofessional Education (CFHC-IPE) that began in 2013 with the aim to build the capacity of community, family medicine and interprofesional. This study aims to evaluate the effect of context, input and process towards the achievement of interprofessional competences.Method: This study was a qualitative research design using a case study evaluation Context-Input-Process-Product (CIPP). Respondents of this study are five-IPE CFHC managers, three heads of study program, 10 lecturers and 35 students from PSPD, PSIK and PSGK. Data collected through FGD, in-depth interviews and document analysis. FGD and in-depth interviews conducted using an interview guide while document analysis carried out on the grand design CFHC-IPE. Results: Context evaluation shows that the needs assessment has not been carried out. Input evaluation shows that the preparation of the grand design CFHC-IPE is not align and debriefing facilitators need to be added. There were gaps in the implementation of learning activities and assessment and program monitoring was inadequate. IPE competencies in the first year on the student of 2014 were not achieved. Conclusion: Inter-professional communication and teamwork competence on student of class 2014 at CFHC-IPE program in the first year was not achieved and influenced by the weaknesses in the content, inputs and processes aspects.

Background: Interprofessional education (IPE) is a method offered to support the collaboration of two health professions or more in order to create an ideal teamwork. This study aims to evaluate students’ interprofessional attitudes during the implementation of IPE in a community-based program among 3 health professions students.Method: Second and third year undergraduate students from three health profession schools in Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Gadjah Mada, medicine (n = 50), nursery (n = 50), and nutrition (n = 50), were recruited in 2015. Students were sent to a community setting in a small group of 10 consisting of those three schools’ students. They were assigned to a certain family and followed them longitudinally in a curriculum called the Community and Family Health Care program. Quantitative data were collected with a survey using Interprofessional Attitude Scale instrument containing 5 subscales (27 items): teamwork, roles and responsibilities; patient-centeredness; interprofessional biases; diversity and ethics; and community-centeredness. The items used 5-level Likert scale. Descriptive analysis was performed for the quantitative data and comparison among those three groups used Kruskal-Wallis test.Results: Most of the students strongly agreed they learned a lot about interprofessional attitudes during this program (mean scores of each subscale: 3.85, 4.19, 3.18, 3.83, and 3.99, respectively). There were significant differences among mean scores of each subscale (p< 0.05). Medical and nursery students had higher mean scores compared to nutrition students, except in the subscale of community-centeredness (p = 0.197).Conclusion: IPE can be implemented successfully in a longitudinal community-based education curriculum and benefits undergraduate students in studying interprofessional attitudes. The program should be evaluated and improved to assure all students to get equal benefits.

The emergence and development of a unified european market imposes a need  for harmonization financial reporting of business entites in the European Union. Directives and Regulations are the basic instruments for harmonization of national regulatory frameworks with aquaris, on the one hand, and for hamozication accounting practices among member countries, as well as those which are claiming membership, on the other. According to the model of financial reporting, the countries of Central and Eastern Europe belong or belonged to the mixed economy model. Our country belongs to the same model. In this paper, we will describe the reaches of certain Central and Eastern Europe economies in harmonization of financial reporting in relation to the current regulations of the European Union. Using comparative analysis, we will point out the essential features of the regulatory frameworks of certain national economises. Positive experiences of these countries in the development of accounting regulations could be applied in our country
