Operational Managers’ Experiences Regarding Supportive Supervision at Primary Healthcare Facilities in the North West Province, South Africa
Authors: Serapelwane Maserapelo Gladys , Manyedi Eva Mofatiki
Published: July 2020

A lack of supportive supervision of operational managers is a disturbing phenomenon in the management of primary healthcare facilities in developing countries. The North West province of South Africa is not exempt from a lack of supportive supervision of operational managers. This occurs despite the burden of disease and a high demand for the provision of quality services. The study explored and described experiences of operational managers regarding supportive supervision by local area managers in the facilities of the North West province. Operational managers’ perceptions of how supportive supervision can be facilitated effectively were also described. A qualitative, descriptive, exploratory, and contextual study was conducted. The population comprised operational managers who worked for at least one year in the primary healthcare facilities. Purposive sampling was used and fundamental ethical principles underlying the protection of human participants were adhered to. Four semi-structured in-depth focus group interviews were conducted in the four districts of North West. The analysis of data followed Tesch’s method of content analysis. The first theme that surfaced concerned the participants’ experiences of factors related to compromised critical aspects of supportive supervision. The second theme embodied experiences of factors related to a lack of the qualities and competencies of a supportive supervisor. Perceptions of how effective supportive supervision of operational managers can be facilitated constituted the third theme. Based on the results, it was apparent that supportive supervision of operational managers in primary healthcare facilities should be enhanced.

“Fox Stories” in the Folklore of the Khakass
Authors: Burnakov Venariy A.
Published: July 2020

Purpose. The article explores the characteristics of the fox in the oral folk art of the Khakass. The study is based on folklore, ethnographic and linguistic sources. The paper analyzes folklore materials published in Russian and Khakass languages.
Results. The author explores various genres of narrative Khakass tradition, which feature the fox: myths, epics, tales and sayings. During the process of analysis, it was concluded that the representation of this animal can be commonly found in folk art of the Khakass. Moreover, it has a complex and ambiguous characterization. The perception of this beast in the traditional consciousness was, to a large extent, determined by a long study of its biological nature, external data and habits. Russian culture also had a certain influence on the formation of the folklore image of the fox among the Khakass. Five main plot groups in which the designated beast appears are identified. The works assigned to Groups 1–4 were formed based on their own mythological views and within the framework of their ethnic tradition. They arose as a result of direct observations of the life and habits of the fox and reflected the life experience of the people, their observations, ideas of the surrounding nature and the desire for knowledge of the world. In many ways, they have an etiological character and are associated with a belief in magic and sorcery. What is also important is that in these works, the direct life of the animals themselves is depicted, as it was presented in the traditional consciousness of the people. The narratives assigned to Group 5 were mostly developed in the context of intercultural contacts between the Khakass and Russians.
Conclusion. As a result of this process, there was a borrowing and processing of images and plots within the framework of their own ethnic tradition. There is a tendency under the guise of animals to depict people and their psychological properties, as well as display the social and everyday life of society. The interpretation of the form of the trickster-fox is subject to a certain moral and ethical norm. At the heart of all the stories studied is the motive for obtaining food, which is carried out in various ways and as a result forms the corresponding stereotype of perception of this beast.

The Impact of Economics on Competition Law in New Zealand Some Reflections on the First Decade
Authors: Berry Mark N
Published: July 2020

The economic focus of the Commerce Act 1986 is unique in New Zealand, both in terms of its theoretical foundations and its institutional framework. The author reflects on these features of the Act and the impact that economics has had on the decision-making process. This article reviews the New Zealand landscape in terms of the goals of the Commerce Act, its institutional framework, and the manner in which the strict rules of evidence may be relaxed. It then considers, by using Justice Breyer's framework (in S J Breyer "Economics and Judging: An Afterword on Cooter and Wald" (1987) 50 Law and Contemp Probs 245), how economics has impacted upon the content of rules of law and the proof of specific economic facts. The author concludes with a brief assessment of likely and desirable future trends in New Zealand law, arguing that it was likely that economics would continue to have a major impact on the Commerce Act; aside from in the interpretation of dominance principles, the author argues that the foundations are strongly in place for the continued growth of law and economics in this field.
Personality and Legal Culture
Authors: Angelo AH
Published: July 2020

The interaction of Maori law and the European based state law of New Zealand has given rise to much discussion and political debate. The contemporary focus has been primarily on the Treaty of Waitangi and the work of the Waitangi Tribunal. Public interest has been attracted by the property aspects of Treaty claims and by their justness, but there has been less public interest in the Maori cultural aspects of claims. In particular, the cultural importance of some claims has been masked by concerns about the resource value involved. This article seeks to redirect attention to an aspect of the Maori cultural meaning involved where claims concern taonga, and it suggests further that coherence of claims settlements may in some cases be advanced by reference to the concept of personality.

Published: July 2020

Unsuitable soil materials along the alignment of road projects have a significant influence on planning, design, construction, and maintenance. Expansive soils are susceptible to considerable volume changes due to seasonal variations and moisture content. Most soils found in Jimma and Ambo Zones composed of plastic clay soil, causing severe damage at the intermittent of pavement sections. This research study conducted laboratory investigation considering combinations of materials blended to stabilize the expansive soil for subgrade construction. An experimental type of study performed which started by collecting specimens. Two clayey soil specimens considered to test the free swell index obtained from a depth of 1.5m to remove the organic impurities. Results indicated the chemical analysis of pumice contained 82.68%, while its physical properties of the test of fineness specific surface and residue on 45 microns showed 3770 cm2/gm and 30%, respectively. As the lime content increased, the CBR strength also increased. But, if the percent content of lime decreased with an increasing pumice content, the CBR value did not show any significant increase. Both the chemical and physical properties satisfied the requirements according to ASTM C-618. Hence, this experiment obtained 7% lime + 3% pumice as an optimum mix ratio to stabilize expansive soils.

Published: July 2020

Antalya ekolojik koşullarında yetiştirilen 34 üzüm çeşidinin uyanma-olgunluk dönemine ait etkili sıcaklık toplamı (EST) istekleri değişik yöntemlerle belirlenmiştir. Her bir çeşit için saatlik, minimum, maksimum ve meteorolojik rasattaki sıcaklıkların esas alındığı 4 farklı günlük ortalama sıcaklık (GOS) değeri hesaplama yöntemine göre EST isteklerindeki değişim incelenmiştir. Bazı çeşitlerin EST istekleri farklı ekolojilerde elde edilen değerler ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Üzüm çeşitleri içerisinde en düşük EST isteği Early Sweet çeşidinde saptanmıştır. Bu çeşidin farklı GOS hesaplamaları için Winkler indisine göre saptanan EST isteği 912-954 derece gün (dg) arasında değişmiştir. Bu çeşidin farklı yöntemlere göre hesaplanan EST isteği ise en düşük 925 dg, en yüksek 983 dg olarak saptanmıştır. Farklı GOS hesaplaması ve farklı yöntemlerin kullanılması çeşitlerin EST isteklerinde değişik düzeylerde farklılıklara yol açmıştır. Sonuç olarak GOS değerlerinin hesaplanmasında yöntemler arasındaki korelasyonun oldukça yakın olduğu, hesaplamalarda 24 saatlik ortalamanın alınmasının daha uygun olacağı fakat bunun temin edilemediği durumlarda diğer yöntemlerin kullanılmasının da çok önemli yanılgıya yol açmayacağı belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, çeşitlerin EST isteklerinin saptanmasında, saatlik GOS değerleri kullanılarak Winkler indisi formülüne göre hesaplamanın daha uygun olacağı kararına varılmıştır.

Seed coating, or pelleting, is a technology used to improve seed germination and provide more uniform stands and higher yields. In recent years, the use of coated or pelleted seed has increased in vegetable cultivation. Information on sowing of coated, or pelleted seed, with planters are needed. This research was carried out to determine the performance of a precision vacuum planter designed for large seed for sowing pelleted and bare onion (Allium cepa L.) seed. A laboratory experiment was performed to evaluate seed distribution uniformity for forward speeds of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 m s-1. For the laboratory test using a sticky belt test setup, pelleting of onion seed generally increased seed distribution uniformity of the planter. Optimum forward speed was 1.5 m s-1 for pelleted and 1.0 m s-1 for bare seed. The planter was operated at the forward speed of 1.5 m s-1 for pelleted and 1.0 m s-1 for bare seed for field trials. Pelleting of onion seed decreased percentage emergence from 73.6 to 62.5% for field conditions. Percentage emergence of pelleted seed in the field decreased more than bare seed, but it was considered acceptable for precision sowing with planter as indicated percentage emergence being over 60%.

SEKURITISASI ISU MIGRASI DI POLANDIA : KEAMANAN NASIONAL ATAU SOLIDARITAS REGIONAL?
Authors: Makhroja Mega Nisfa
Published: July 2020

Abstract

 This paper analyzes the policy of the Polish government in responding to the migration crisis in Europe. The Polish government decided not to accommodate more refugees from Africa and the Middle East for reasons of national security. The homogeneous character of society will be disturbed by massive waves of migration. On the other hand, as a member of the European Union, Poland has an obligation to follow the scheme of the distribution of refugee quota to his country. Using the securitization analysis of non-traditional security issues, this research will describe the securitization process that starts with securitizing actors, speech acts, existential threats, referent objects, audiences, and functional actors. The securitization process is carried out by constructing an issue that was not originally a security issue to a security issue. The findings of this study indicate that the Polish government's policy of rejecting refugees is a form of securitization of the issue of migration as a threat to its national security.
Implementasi Konsep Halal Tourism Dan Konvensional Thailand Dalam Meningkatkan Foreign Direct Investment di Nusa Tenggara Barat
Authors: Karjaya Lalu Puttrawandi
Published: July 2020

Kementerian Pariwisata Republik Indonesia, sejak 2015 lalu telah menunjuk tiga provinsi di Indonesia sebagai destinasi wisata halal. Salah satunya adalah Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB), yang mana NTB dipandang memiliki potensi besar untuk mengembangkan wisata halal di Indonesia. Terdapat tiga alasan provinsi NTB dianggap memiliki porensi besar dalam pengembangan wisata halal. Pertama, panorama destinasi pariwisata NTB tidak kalah dengan yang dimiliki oleh Provinsi Bali. Kedua, mayoritas masyarakat NTB adalah beragama muslim. Ketiga, terdapat kultur dan tradisi keagamaan yang unik yang dimiliki oleh NTB. Namun keadaan pariwisata yang cenderung bersifat konvensional sejak dahulu, tidak dapat dengan mudah dihilangkan atau dirubah begitu saja. Oleh karena itu, pariwisata NTB disarankan untuk mengadopsi konsep Halal Tourism dan pariwisata konvensional seperti yang diterapkan di Thailand. Negara Thailand yang bukan temasuk negara muslim, justru menjadi negara dengan destinasi masyarakat muslim terbesar kedua. Sehingga dalam tulisan ini, akan dibahas beberapa alasan yang melatarbelakangi konsep pariwisata di Thailand juga cocok diterapkan di NTB, khususnya pulau Lombok.

“Nada será como antes”. A controvérsia eclesiástica sobre o Sínodo dos Bispos da Amazônia (2017-2019)
Authors: Sell Carlos Eduardo
Published: July 2020

O artigo analisa as controvérsias entre elites eclesiásticas católicas ao longo do processo de preparação do Sínodo Pan-Amazônico entre 2017 e 2019. Na primeira parte são identificados os atores e posicionamentos que emergiram nas disputas políticas em torno do Sínodo, buscando-se mostrar como elas estão implicadas em lutas pela auto-compreensão da Igreja católica enquanto organismo político, além de colocar em discussão estratégias distintas de inserção do catolicismo no mundo moderno. Na segunda parte, a partir da análise do documento que foi o epicentro da disputa (Instrumentum Laboris), argumenta-se que, na sua dimensão intra-eclesial, ele colocou em debate o processo de aprofundamento das reformas democratizantes iniciado com o Concílio Vaticano II e intensificado sob o governo do papa Francisco. Já na sua dimensão extra-eclesial (Igreja/mundo), o texto indica deslocamentos na compreensão e na estratégia de posicionamento da Igreja católica frente ao plano global e sinaliza para um processo que, mediado pela problemática ecológica, incorpora elementos da agenda pós-colonial. Abstract: The article analyzes the controversies among Catholic ecclesiastical elites during the process of preparation of the Pan-Amazon Synod between 2017 and 2019. In the first part we identify the actors and positions that emerged in the political disputes about the Synod, seeking to show how they are implicated in struggles for the self-understanding of the catholic church as a political organism, besides discussing different strategies of insertion of catholicism in the modern world. In the second part, from the analysis of the document that was the epicenter of the dispute (Instrumentum Laboris), it is argued that, in its intra-ecclesial dimension, it put into debate the process of deepening democratizing reforms that began with the Second Vatican Council. and intensified under the rule of Pope Francis. Already in its extra--ecclesial dimension, the text indicates shifts in the understanding and strategy of positioning of the Catholic church in relation to the global plan and points to a process that, mediated by ecological concern, incorporates elements of the postcolonial agenda.Keywords: Catholic church; Pope Francis; Synod; Amazon; Ecology.

Numa espécie de holismo interpretativo, o texto começa pelo passado bastante atual da gripe espanhola até chegar ao presente da Covid-19. Presente salpicado de lições não aprendidas com a história. Examinando a montanha russa da pandemia que atordoa os ricos e os pobres, a narrativa mede o pulso de nações a espera da diagnose da derrota ou da vitória contra o vírus. O laudo será conhecido apenas no término da partida da vida contra morte. Em países cientes da gravidade, mas desconhecedores das causas das pestes e do nome dos antídotos, a prevalência da desinformação mutila ensaios por uma nova colegialidade nas relações internacionais. Criticando o uso do bode expiatório nas explicativas das desgraças pandêmicas, o ensaio assenta os excluídos entre os incluídos da arca de Noé.Abstract: Summarizing realities of a feverish world, the essay connects several groups of the human society in danger.

ABSTRACT  The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of time budget pressure and audit complexity on audit quality. The population and sample of this study used all auditors KAP in Makassar City. Determination of the sample was selected by purposive sampling method with the criteria of respondents not limited by the position of auditors in KAP (partners, managers, seniors and auditor staff) so that all auditors who work in KAP can be respondents. Hypothesis testing uses multiple linear regression analysis. The analysis shows that time budget pressure has a negative effect on audit quality. However, audit complexity does not affect audit quality. This illustrates that if the auditor has time pressure in carrying out his work will have an impact on the decline in audit quality, but the complexity of the auditor's work if it does not have time pressure in carrying out the audit does not have an impact on the decline in audit quality. Keywords                   : Audit Complexity; Audit Quality; Time Budget Pressure ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh time budget pressure dan kompleksitas audit terhadap kualitas audit.

Based on the investigative and expert practice studied by the author, specialized literature, and the author’s formualtion of the subject of the examination under consideration the classification of objects of the railway forensic examinations is proposed, the types of this kind of forensic expertise are identified.
Input Data for Forensic Construction and Technical Expertise of Destroyed Buildings
Authors: Revunov A. A.
Published: July 2020

One of the pressing issues of forensic activity is the absence of an approved list of the necessary and sufficient documentation to conduct a full and comprehensive study for every type and kind of forensic examination, including construction forensics. This makes the tasks put before an expert more challenging, expands the duration of the examination, and sometimes it even leads to the additional and re-examinations. The resolution of this problem would make the work easier for investigators and experts streamlining their activity at the early stages of investigations. The author identifies the types of input data for forensic construction and technical examinations of destroyed buildings. The article provides a list of documentations regulating the research process in cases of building collapse; limits for the use of equipment and tools are also covered.

Published: July 2020

For many years, the University of Chicago administered sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim sulfate (SMZ-TMP) oral suspension to select immunocompromised mouse colonies via the drinking water. In 2014, SMZ-TMP oral suspension was placed on back-order and medicated diet with a different sulfonamide,
sulfadiazine-trimethoprim (SDZ-TMP) was used as a replacement. Months after this transition, sentinel mice from the same room as one of the remaining immunocompromised colonies on this diet were found dead or appeared sick. Necropsies revealed cardiomegaly, and histology confirmed myocardial
fibrosis in the first 4 sentinel mice examined, consistent with cardiomyopathy. Subsequent sequential monitoring of 2 sentinel mice via echocardiography showed their progression toward decreased cardiac function. Investigation of the housing room revealed that the sentinel mice had been accidently
placed on SDZ-TMP diet upon entering the colony housing room. This case report describes cardiomyopathy in 6 ICR mice after long term consumption of SDZ-TMP medicated feed.
PKM2 in Canine Mammary Tumors: Parallels to Human Breast Cancer
Authors: Lee Hyo-Ju , Han Hyo-Jeong , Lee Ji-Young , Son Woo-Chan
Published: July 2020

PKM2 is a pyruvate kinase isoform that is the final and rate-limiting step in aerobic glycolysis in tumor cells. Increased expression of PKM2 has been detected in human cancers. The present study examined the expression of PKM2 in canine mammary tumors and assessed its prognostic significance.
Paraffin sections of 5 adenomas, 67 carcinomas, and 5 samples of nonneoplastic hyperplasia from 77 dogs, aged 8 to 18 y, were evaluated. Significantly higher levels of PKM2 were detected among the carcinomas compared with all other tissues examined. The level of PKM2 expression in carcinoma
tissue correlated positively with the tumor grade. These findings suggest that PKM2 may have a similar role in canine mammary tumors to its role in human breast cancer. As such, canine mammary tumors may be useful models for studies focused on the progression of human neoplastic disease.
