The effect of episodic future thinking on the relative reinforcing value of snack food
Authors: Mansouri Tegan , Amanda K. Crandall  , Temple Jennifer
Published: February 2019

Obesity results from a chronic state of positive energy balance, which may be attributed, in part, to excess energy intake over time. Overeating of high energy dense (HED) foods is associated with higher relative reinforcing value (RRV) of these foods in addition to the inability to delay gratification of immediate rewards, or delay discounting (DD). Episodic future thinking (EFT) is a method that has been shown to reduce DD in adults aftera single exposure. The effect of repeated engagement in EFT on DD and RRV of food is unknown. This study aims to explore the effects of engaging in EFT every day for one week on DD, energy intake, and RRV of low energy dense (LED) and HED snack foods. We hypothesized that the EFT group would have a greater reduction in DD and RRV of HED food and reduced energy intake compared to a control, episodic recent thinking (ERT) control group. We conducted a between-subjects experimental design where adults with overweight and obesity (N=33) were randomized to either an EFT or control ERT condition. Participants visited the laboratory on four occasions to complete a DD task, ad libitum snack food buffet and RRV task following one single engagement in EFT or ERT and again following daily engagement for one week. We found that, contrary to our original hypothesis, there was no impact of one week of engaging in EFT on DD when compared to a single engagement or to one week of ERT. Furthermore, the ERT group had a greater RRV of LED food compared to the EFT group on the first visit that was reduced over time and the EFT group consumed more energy at the follow-up visit compared to the first visit. These data suggest that engaging in EFT every day for one-week has no greater impact on RRV of snack food or DD compared to one engagement in EFT in adults with overweight and obesity. Furthermore, recent retrospection may result in transient improvements in motivation to eat healthy food.
Discovering the Language of Meaningful Work
Authors: Morrison Mike
Published: February 2019

This study introduces a series of language signals that indicate whether a person finds their work meaningful (or meaningless). These signals are then integrated into a new, natural language measure of work meaningfulness. This algorithm can analyze a worker’s written description of their work, and using features of their writing determine whether they find their work meaningful with an average classification accuracy of 85%. Results indicate that personal pronouns and action verbs are most related to a person 'sounding like' they find their work meaningful to third party raters, but that identity statements and positive sentiment are more related to actual, self-reported meaningfulness.
Social context alters metacognition
Authors: Mahmoodi Ali , Ringwald Kai , Wittmann Marco K , Mehring Carsten
Published: February 2019

Metacognition is the ability to monitor and evaluate one’s own cognitive processes. In social contexts, such performance evaluations are also influenced by the behaviour of others, e.g. others’ decisions and actions. However, in tasks where feedback of the ground truth is provided (e.g. the correct decision), people’s performance evaluations should be independent from others’ behaviour. Here, we investigate this situation in an estimation task: participants made an estimate about the location of a visual stimulus, reported their confidence about that estimate and then observed a partners’ stimulus estimate as well as the true location of the stimulus. Participants were asked to evaluate and report their performance regularly during the experiments. We found that participants overestimated their performance when their partner’s stimulus estimates were less accurate than their own stimulus estimates and underestimated their performance when their partner’s stimulus estimates were more accurate. In a second experiment, we showed that the results of experiment 1 also hold when people can benefit from accurately tracking their partner’s and their own performance. In this experiment participants were allowed to revise their initial stimulus estimate after having seen their partner’s estimate. In both experiments, participants reduced their confidence when their partner had superior accuracy and increased it when their partner had inferior accuracy relative to them. This effect was very small but the change in confidence correlated with the change in the performance estimates across participants. In summary, our result suggest that metacognitive accuracy is dynamically influenced by other people, potentially at the expense of our ability to accurately track our own performance. Our findings might have relevance to how we select partners to work with each other.

Pre-Printed Versus Handwritten Post-It Notes’ Impact on Survey Response in Hard to Recruit Survey Recipients: A Randomized Controlled Trial in Veterans with PTSD Disability
Authors: Murdoch Maureen , Spoont Michele , Harwood Eileen , Clothier Barbara , Bangerter Ann , Kehle-Forbes Shannon , Sayer NIna , Partin Melissa
Published: February 2019

Our goal was to see if affixing pre-printed Post-it note messages to a mailed survey would generate response rates similar to when handwritten Post-it notes were used in hard to recruit survey recipients. The study was a nested, randomized controlled trial of 575 individuals from a cohort of 2,100 United States Veterans with PTSD disability. Analysis was intention-to-treat. Survey response rate was 38.5% in the pre-printed Post-it note arm and 44.9% in the handwritten Post-it note arm (p = 0.09). In non-inferiority testing, pre-printed notes’ response rate exceeded the 10% margin of inferiority but was less than the 15% margin when compared to handwritten notes.
A Framework for Neurodevelopmental Disorders: Operationalization of a Pathogenetic Triad
Authors: Sarovic Darko
Published: February 2019

Neurodevelopmental disorders are characterized by abnormal neural development leading to lifelong behavioral and cognitive issues. Both endogenous and exogenous factors have been shown to influence their development, and their effects have been extensively discussed. Despite this, an explanatory model does not exist. The lack of a clinically relevant framework underscores difficulties in explaining research findings as well as conundrums including heterogeneity, sex ratio differences, optimal outcome prediction, and findings such as loss of diagnosis, and onset beyond early childhood.This paper presents a model for conceptualizing the pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental disorders from the interaction of a triad of contributing factors: genetic susceptibility, cognitive compensation, and risk factors. The factors are operationalized to create a clinically relevant framework and approaches for quantification of each operationalized factor are presented. This allows clinicians to implement the framework in a practical setting, potentially improving diagnostics, and provides researchers with an explanatory framework for the conundrums mentioned above. An approach to stratification is proposed through the operationalization of risk factors. Finally, methods for testing and validation of the triad are outlined.
Health-related quality-of-life assessment in dementia: evidence of cross-cultural validity in Latin America
Authors: Chua Kia-Chong , Böhnke Jan R. , Prince Martin , Banerjee Sube
Published: February 2019

All health-related quality-of-life (HRQL) measures for dementia have been developed in high-income countries and none were validated for cross-cultural use. Yet, the global majority of people living with dementia resides in low- and middle-income countries. We therefore investigated the measurement invariance of a set of self- and informant-report HRQL measures developed in the UK when used in Latin America. Self-reported HRQL was obtained using DEMQOL at a memory assessment service in the UK (n=868) and a population cohort study in Latin America (n=417). Informant reports were collected using DEMQOL-Proxy at both sites (n=909; n=495). Multiple-group confirmatory bifactor models for ordered categorical item responses were estimated to evaluate measurement invariance. Results support configural, metric and scalar invariance for the concept of general HRQL in DEMQOL and DEMQOL-Proxy. The dominant impact of general HRQL on item responses was evident across UK English and Ibero-American Spanish versions of DEMQOL (h=0.87–0.90) and DEMQOL-Proxy (h=0.88–0.89). Ratings of “positive emotion” did not show a major impact on general HRQL appraisal, particularly for Latin American respondents. Item information curves show that self- and informant-reports were highly informative about the presence rather than the absence of HRQL impairment. We found no major difference in conceptual meaning, sensitivity and relevance of DEMQOL and DEMQOL-Proxy for older adults in the UK and Latin America. Further replication is needed for consensus over which HRQL measures are appropriate for making cross-national comparisons in global dementia research.

Descomposición de imágenes 3D en sub-bandas a través de la transformada discreta de wavelet
Authors: Huamaní Navarrete Pedro Freddy
Published: February 2019

En los últimos años, los diagnósticos médicos a través de la interpretación de imágenes médicas digitales como las de gammagrafia, eco cardiografía, resonancia magnética y tomografía axial computarizada, se han acentuado cada vez más. Ello se debe, principalmente, a la diversidad de técnicas matemáticas de procesamiento digital de imágenes existentes; tal es el caso de la Transformada Discreta de Wavelet Directa (TDW) e inversa (TDWI), técnica que permite la disgregación en sub-bandas de imágenes 2D y 3D. De esta manera, en el presente artículo, se exhibe el procesimiento de obtención de la TDW sobre imágenes digitales en 3D, logrando así una descomposición de la misma en varias sub bandas. Tanto el algoritmo de descomposición y de reconstrucción de las sub bandas, son propios y se encuentran programadas en funciones que se ejecutan bajo la plataforma de Matlab. Asimismo, se muestra los resultados, tanto numéricos como visuales, sobre la imagen 3D al momento de reconstruirla con la TDW inversa

Establecer sistemas de medición y evaluación es una pieza básica de calidad de software, más aún dentro de la actual tendencia a externalizar el desarrollo, que es realizado por consultoras o desarrolladores de software externos.Pero aunque los desarrollos sean ejecutados internamente por un área de la propia entidad o externamente por una empresa que tenga certificación en calidad de software, no garantiza que su software, sin embargo, en ese camino, nos conlleva a experimentar metodologías que sumado a criterios y experiencias particulares han sabido otorgar un grado importante de confianza a determinados procesos del ciclo de vida de un software y a los desarrolladores al momento de la evaluación final de un Software.Si bien es cierto que la calidad de un software depende mucho de la concepción del requerimiento, es mucho más importante saber lo que no se sabe al inicio. Se refiere a la elasticidad de un producto y que se adapte al cambio constante de requerimientos para que la calidad del producto no se degenere con el transcurso del tiempo.Entre la calidad logrado al momento de terminar un producto y mantener la misma calidad posterior a la implementación es el objetivo de ésta investigación que trata en lo posible de especificar algunos indicadores que contribuyen de manera específica a lograr dicho objetivo.Estos se hallan al inicio del proyecto y se certifican y evalúan al final. Por lo tanto los requerimientos bien analizados definen al final la calidad de un producto y posterior al mantenimiento del mismo para que no pierda la calidad inicial.

Importance of agrarian insurance market development for the national economy
Authors: Slobodianiuk Olga , Lositska Tetyana , Pukała Ryszard
Published: February 2019

Introduction. The state and its agricultural support programs provide assistance to the victims, but this is not in line with world practice. Minimization of losses, which is formed at the expense of the reserve fund of the state budget, is based on outdated methods of the post-Soviet era. The emergence of a new number of subjects of the market of agro-insurance of all forms of ownership also does not have enough lifting for its development and covering losses from unforeseen weather conditions. The threat of bankruptcy, fierce competition, prompts entrepreneurs to apply new market-based methods for reimbursing potential costs and doing business.
Thus, insurance of agricultural products and their further development will lead to the solution of the current urgent problem of agro companies to cover losses from unforeseen natural disasters and natural disasters, and will provide the reliability, solvency and financial independence of each company in this business.
Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to consider the theoretical foundations for the development of the insurance market of agri-insurance and its importance.
Results. The agri-insurance market plays an important role in the national economy of the Ukrainian state, and therefore needs further development, increased attention from both the state and the scientists of the insurance industry. Without agrarian insurance, the Ukrainian agricultural sector is not possible, because every year losses from weather conditions are occurring, which leads to a shortage of gross crops and significant losses.The article reveals the basic concepts of agri-insurance. Conducted competitive competitive analysis and statistical survey of agri-insurance market in recent years. The ways of development of the market of agrarian insurance are offered.
Conclusions. The national agro-insurance market is slowly developing, although more and more agricultural enterprises trust insurers. Competition in the insurance market provides fair competition among them in order to receive new customers, but not enough to generate more profits and development in general.
The analysis of key indicators of the market shows that there is development, but it is insignificant, therefore, it is necessary to take measures on the basis of foreign experience and to submit proposals for further development.
Such proposals may include: strengthening system support from the Government of the country and improving its regulation, developing new insurance products, which will increase competition among insurance companies, increase index insurance, and so on.
Thus, the introduction, based on world practice, of new approaches to the development of agrarian insurance, will provide Ukrainian farmers with opportunities to prevent financial losses in the event of unforeseen events.
Transport and logistic components of waste management strategies in the context of implementing resource-saving and environmental policy
Authors: Kodzhebash Alina , Krivencev Alexander
Published: February 2019

Introduction. The overall situation in the field of waste management in Ukraine is extremely difficult, which is explained by the lack of preventive resource conservation and environmental protection policies, as well as the lack of financing of measures aimed at eliminating the negative consequences resulting from the increasing generation of waste. In particular, due to insufficient financing of landfill contents: there are violations of the schedules of their sanitary cleaning, which leads to the formation of spontaneous landfills in the territories of residential development, especially in rural areas; there are cases of chaotic accumulation of waste that is not compacted and not filled with soil; most landfills and the surrounding area have a terrible look. The general state of waste in Ukraine highlights the urgency and seriousness  of the problem of domestic and industrial waste management.
Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the role and disclosure of the peculiarities of the transport and logistics component of waste management strategies in the context of implementing resource-saving and environmental policy in Ukraine.
Results. As a result of the research it is determined that the reform of the waste management system is necessary, which envisages solving of such key organizational, economic and managerial tasks in the context of realization of resource saving and environmental protection policy in Ukraine. The organizational and economic directions of waste management reform are: effective implementation of separate waste collection; construction of new landfills and waste treatment plants; information and institutional support for issues related to waste management; economically justified tariff formation ; stabilization of the finance industry through the introduction of a system of fines for violating legislation, in particular, on the separate collection of waste and the transfer of funds received to the development of the industry, investments provided by state guarantees on the return of capital invested by the investor.
Conclusions. At present the reform of the waste management system is necessary by means of solving a series of interrelated organizational, economic and managerial tasks in the context of implementation of resource conservation and environmental protection policy in Ukraine. In particular, it is about the need for financial stabilization of the industry, the expediency of strengthening regulatory instruments and, at the same time, motivational instruments, etc. Based on the analysis of the relationship between these objectives and the objectives of environmental policy, in particular in the field of transport and logistics, as well as the content and constituents of waste management strategies in Ukraine, it was concluded that there is a need for an integrated approach to determine the role and place of transport-logistic component.
Elusive Fungus?
Authors: Hathaway Michael J.
Published: February 2019

This article explores how attraction, a companion term to elusiveness,
reveals insights into multispecies worlds by showing how different
organisms such as the matsutake mushroom interpret the world and
interact with each other, whether or not humans are involved. Building
on scholarly interest in the ‘animal turn’ (explorations of the human-animal
relationship), this article moves beyond human-centered scholarship
by using, but also modifying, the concept of umwelt introduced by the
Baltic German biologist Jakob von Uexküll. Employing a critical social scientific
reading of the biological literature that analyzes its findings, as well
as challenges its animal-centric models of agency and behavior, I argue
that this perspective helps us better understand ourselves as humans in a
world that is much more than human.
Sensing Multispecies Entanglements
Authors: Satsuka Shiho
Published: February 2019

This article explores how matsutake, with its elusive characteristics
that evade human senses, guides humans to cultivate a sensitivity
to multispecies entanglements. It analyzes the concept of koto, developed
by psychiatrist Bin Kimura, to describe how people learn to notice the
events and happenings that a variety of beings are engaging in at every
moment, even though these practices often elude human consciousness.
Drawing examples from a manga series and two ethnographic cases
in Japan—a grassroots satoyama forest revitalization movement and
a forest biomass study—the article discusses koto as an ‘ontology’ of
entangled life. At the same time, koto raises questions about ‘ontology’,
as it indicates the traces of struggle in translating the term itself.
How Things Hold
Authors: Gan Elaine , Tsing Anna
Published: February 2019

This article experiments with combining three concepts—
coordination, assemblage, diagram—to make vivid the composition
of a satoyama forest in central Japan. The forest comes to life as a
more-than-human assemblage that emerges through coordinations
established by evolutionary and historical accommodations to life
cycles, seasonal rhythms, and activity patterns. These coordinations
are expressed through a diagram of intersecting temporalities of people,
plants, and woodlands that condition the flourishing or decline of wild
matsutake mushrooms. Working diagrammatically, we can better articulate
how juxtapositions of humans and non-humans become assemblages
that hold together through coordinations—without a unified
purpose or design. We argue that understanding coordination is key to
more livable multispecies worlds.
Advantages and Weaknesses of Indicators for the Assessment of Active Ageing Processes
Authors: Bilousova O. S.
Published: February 2019

The article studies the principles for the assessment of active ageing processes as an important component in implementing the Political Strategy on Healthy and Active Longevity of the Population till 2022 and the respective Action Plan. The advantages and weaknesses of the Active Ageing Index (AAI), constructed by the UN European Economic Commission and the Directorate General of the European Commission on Employment, Social Policy and Integration, are revealed through analyzing three core objectives of active ageing and solidarity between generations: employment, social participation, and independent life. By the results of the analysis, the advantages of AAI application include: the usability for monitoring and cross-country comparisons; the possibility to reveal the spheres requiring improvements to assure the high quality life. The weaknesses are as follows: the majority of indicators are based on assumptions; the indicators of old people’s employment do not account for age-specific limitations on the employment in some professions etc. It is argued that the weaknesses of the existing indices can be addressed by clarifying the indicators’ definitions and implementing additional recommendations for interviewing the elderly.            

An analysis of AAI in countries of East Europe and Central Asia shows that its average level is 66. Belarus, Turkey and Georgia are the only countries from the studied group with the scores corresponding with this level or exceeding it. In all the other countries AAI is lower than the average. The assessment for Ukraine by the adopted methodology is not possible due to unavailability and shortage of statistical data. 

Recommendations on constructing the set of indicators for the assessment of active ageing processes in Ukraine are elaborated, including the four targeted domains: “Employment – contribution of the elderly”; “Social participation – contribution of the elderly through unpaid activities”; “Independent, healthy and secure life”; “Opportunities and favorable environment for active ageing”. The need for improving the statistical data collection is substantiated. The conclusion is made that AAI is an important indicator of the quality of life of the elderly population and an indicator of the effectiveness of social reforms, health care reforms etc. The AAI components can be taken in consideration in constructing the revenue and expenditure profiles of the public budget and local budgets.  

Further studies in this field should be focused on quantifying the link between active ageing and national economy growth.
Program-methodological principles of improvement of the national system of statistical observation of traumatism
Authors: Lazebnyk Iu. O.
Published: February 2019

The purpose of the article is to develop software-methodological and organizational principles for the formation of the system of statistical observation of traumatism in Ukraine. To achieve this goal, the cycle of actions for the statistical provision of prevention of injuries is considered. International approaches to collecting statistics on injuries are considered. The disadvantages of the existing way of providing information on accidents with a fatal outcome and group accidents connected with production are presented, which are presented on the site of the State Labour Committee of Ukraine.

The situation regarding injuries in the workplace as a result of accidents in Ukraine over the last four years has been analyzed. A comparative characteristic of the relevant statistical information provided by the International Labour Organization, the State Labour Organization of Ukraine and the Social Insurance Fund of Ukraine is conducted.

Particular attention is paid to the substantiation of the basic requirements for the unification of information concerning traumatized persons who have applied for help to medical establishments in order to form a national database. According to the proposed methodology for the formation of a national database on injury, it should be based on national and international statistical classifications and standards. It is determined that the basis of the formation of the national database of injuries should be taken elements of the European Injury Database (at the level of the minimum set of data). The main characteristics of the proposed international and national statistical classifications, such as: Classification of objects of the administrative-territorial organization of Ukraine (COATOU), International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED-2011), Classification of Professions (SC 003:2010), Classification of Types of Economic Activities (SC 009:2010), International Classification of External Causes of Injuries (ICECI).

It has been determined that one of the directions of further research should be to determine the possibilities of adapting to the national conditions a comprehensive set of indicators of health, in particular, concerning categories of injuries.
The Economic Policy of European Union (by Case of center and Periphery countries)
Authors: Ryeznikov V. V. , Kupina V. S.
Published: February 2019

Building of the new economic strategy for Ukraine, focused on Eurointegration, makes one consider for both positive and possible negative effects of the European Union’s development for Ukraine. The Ukrainian economy is forced to implement reforms of the internal and external economic component by relying on EU practices in integration reforms.

The importance of this topic is caused by the need to investigate the impact of the single economic course pursued by EU on setting priority areas of reforms of domestic economic policies in center and periphery countries of this integration association. The article’s objective is to reveal the content of the socio-economic policy in EU and its impact on the EU operation in terms of the relationship between the performance of center and periphery countries.

The studies presented in the articles show that the economic integration has complex character and calls for detailed analysis of internal and external processes in countries as components of the system at macroeconomic level of the integration association. Based on the analysis of the above mentioned regional distribution of EU, the following EU countries (most successful and most problematic) were selected as representative ones for the study: Germany and France as “center”, and Greece and Hungary as “periphery”. A socio-economic analysis of key indicators is made, and the role of each of the above countries in the EU development is revealed. A comparative analysis of the selected EU countries is made through trend analysis; their development outlook is given.      

The achievement of the goals of the single EU strategy is analyzed by priority areas of economic policy reforms in the member countries, intended to stabilize their economies: i) recover the fiscal stability; ii) ensure the financial stability; iii) implement the reforms promoting growth and employment; and iv) modernize the public sector. The analysis confirms the prospect of strong economic positions for center countries, which is shown by the approximation ratio that was close to 1 in all the studied cases. Due to the problems of periphery countries, highlighted in the article, these countries may be incapable to meet the convergence criteria fixed in the EU strategy or pursue the single economic course, thus creating a threat of economic crisis for the whole EU.
Analysis of Price Differences for Transfer Prices Auditing in the Controlled Import Transactions
Authors: Fesenko V. V.
Published: February 2019

The article’s objective is to justify and develop a method for analyzing price differences in the controlled foreign economic transactions of enterprises, for further auditing and analyzing transfer prices in foreign economic transactions with related parties. Actual transfer prices in a controlled transaction may differ from planned ones or from the estimated market range of prices, determined by normative requirements for reports on controlled transactions. A detailed analysis of differences in estimated prices is made, which may either occur occasionally or be formed purposefully by management staff of an enterprise when performing controlled import transactions. The economically reasonable ratio of prices in performing import transactions is determined from the perspective of management control for under-pricing purposes, and from the perspective of minimizing tax liabilities for over-pricing purposes. The proposed method for analysis of price differences in the controlled foreign economic transactions is built on the differences between an actual price and its planned, intra-group, minimal, average weighted and maximal levels, thus enabling to determine six types of differences: optimization difference, anti-group difference, the difference by market potential and the difference by the effectiveness of purchases. Identification and analysis of the calculated price difference will contribute in constructing a system for recording and analysis of reasons and effects of price distortions, which can be used for audit (internal and external) and analysis of the effectiveness of such transactions. The proposed method for analyzing price differences in the controlled foreign economic transaction can help internal auditors in identifying price differences that are exposed to the risk of essential distortion due to a probability of management impact, which enables to focus audit procedures on accounting and reporting segments with the increased risk of distortion. This method can also be used as an analytical procedure involved in independent or tax audit of import transactions in testing prices for over-pricing (in order to under-price the taxation base) or under-pricing (in order to reduce the amount of custom payments).

"You're fat and not normal!" From Body Image to Decision of Suicide
Authors: Fitriyah Lailatul , Rokhmawan Tristan
Published: February 2019

Bullying has become a highlighted problem in recent years by observers (or researchers) about education, counseling, psychology, and the development of children and adolescents. One of the things that attracts attention is bullying with the theme of form and weight. Physical differences in the body, especially in obese people, are followed by stigma and negative justification. Internalization of stigma and justification leads to cases of oppression, in some cases, even suicide decisions. The author tries to find a network of theoretical and conceptual relationships between body image, diet, bullying, the role of the media, depression, to the decision to commit suicide from various sources and the results of previous studies. In the end, it seems that the habit of mocking and humiliating someone who is overweight, which we often face every day and is considered normal, can be a more serious problem. Being slim and fat is an option, but setting it as a normal standard can bring stereotypical havoc.

(Why) Does Ar Need to Intervene and Change Things?
Authors: Eikeland Olav
Published: February 2019

One of the basic and for many, defining tenets of action research is contained in the “slogan” ascribed to Kurt Lewin: “In order to understand it, you have to change it”. The slogan clearly resembles what Francis Bacon claimed for experimental science, however, and also Karl Marx’ well known stance in his Feuerbach-theses. In this text I discuss this “change imperative” and relate it to its “pre-history” before action research. Most action researchers are not willing to subscribe to terms like “social engineering” but still call what they do for “interventions”. The text argues that what most people spontaneously think of as “change” may not be necessary for calling what is done for action research. Yet, the alternative is not to withdraw to a disengaged, spectator position. The change imperative raises important questions about what kind of change action research initiates, and what kind of knowledge results from different forms of change. The text challenges the “slogan” as to what kind of change is appropriate and legitimate in working with changes in individuals, culture, communities, and organisations, and suggests ways forward through developing forms of practitioner research and native or indigenous research. To illustrate, insights from Aristotle and Hegel are invoked. Action researchers are challenged to discuss and clarify answers to questions about what kind of change is produced, and what kind of knowledge is generated.
Alternative Learning Frameworks: Workplace Innovation Programmes and Smart Specialisation Policies in the Basque Country
Authors: Pomares Egoitz
Published: February 2019

The paper explores alternative learning frameworks addressing the adaptation of socio-economic institutions to emerging technological paradigms. Based on workplace innovation and development programmes, an exploratory model is presented considering multi-level governance issues. The framework can contribute to better policy implementation of smart specialisation strategies, considering workplace innovation programmes as institutional entrepreneurs. In this sense the framework is applied, in a constructivist way, to regional, sub-regional and organisational institutional contexts.
COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF LARYNGOSCOPES BLADES - MACINTOSH, MILLER AND MCCOY FOR LARYNGEAL VIEW AND PRESSOR RESPONSE

The laryngoscopy is known to have profound cardiovascular effects. This includes pressor response and tachycardia along with an increase in catecholamine concentration, mainly norepinephrine. The major cause of the sympathoadrenal response is believed to arise from stimulation of supraglottic region by laryngoscopic blade with tracheal tube placement and cuff inflation contributing little additional stimulation. Complications of pressor respo laryngoscopy include myocardial ischemia, cardiac failure, intracranial haemorrhage and increase in intracranial pressure. Hence the present study planned to evaluate the laryngeal view and pressor response by using three different blades – Macintosh, McCoy and Miller laryngoscopes.

The study was planned in the Department of Anaesthesia in Andaman and Nicobar Islands Institute of Medical Science (ANIIMS), Port Blair India, From Jun 2016 to Jun 2017 . The 30 patient undergoing the Laryngoscopy were enrolled in the present study. For the 10 patients using the Macintosh Blade were divided in Group I. The next 10 patients using the Miller blade were considered in the Group II. The remaining 10 patients were studied by use of McCoy blade.

The results in our study show that the MacCoy laryngoscope blade improves the visualization of the larynx and significantly attenuates haemodynamic parameters during laryngoscopy and intubation as compared to that with Macintosh laryngoscope blade.

Keywords: Laryngoscopy, Intubation, pressor  response, Macintosh,  miller  and  Mccoy  laryngoscopes, etc

The present study was undertaken with an aim to design, develop and evaluate floating tablet of Pantoprazole, which release the drug in a sustained manner over a period of 12 hours. In this research work used hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC K4M), gas generating agent sodium bicarbonate and citric acid. The high level of HPMC K4M and citric acid favors preparation of floating tablet Pantoprazole. The tablets were prepared by direct compression techniques and evaluated thickness, hardness, weight variation, friability, floating lag time and In-vitro drug release studies indicated that the floating dosage form showed slower release as concentration of HPMC K4M increases. Formulation F1 was considered as optimized formulation which shows satisfactory sustained drug release and remained buoyant on the surface of medium for more than 12 hrours. It can also conclude that floating drug delivery system of Pantoprazole can be successfully formulated as an approach to increase gastric residence time and thereby improving its bioavailability.

Published: February 2019

Ijtihad dan Mujtahid adalah dua kategori konsekwensi ilmiah yang tidak dapat dipisahkan. Ijtihad yang lahir mengatasnamakan metode ketrampilan menggali suatu peristiwa hukum yang terjadi, kehadirannya menuntut varian lain yaitu dimensi keahlian. Dimensi keahlian tidak terwujud tanpa seseorang yang dipandang cakap menggali peristiwa hukum tadi dengan kualifikasi-kualifikasi yang telah tersedia.Dalam konteks ini, maka varian mujtahid perlu dihadirkan dengan penjelasan-penjelasan berdasarkan tingkatan-tingkatan atau derajat yang kemudian disebut mujtahid dengan berbagai dimensinya. Seperti dikemukakan dalam tulisan ini, antara lain, tentang kualifikasi mujtahid mutlak, mujtahid fatwa dan mujtahid madzhab.Kata Kunci: ijtihad, mujtahid, kualifikasi mujtahid

Al-Qur'an adalah ajaran Islam dan menempati posisi sentral dalam perkembangan dan pengembangan ilmu-ilmu keislaman. Maka pemahaman terhadap ayat-ayat al-Qur'an melalui penafsiran-penafsirannya, mempunyai peranan yang sangat besar bagi maju mundurnya umat, sekaligus penafsiran itu dapat mencerminkan perkembangan serta corak pemikiran mereka.Keberadaan al-Qur'an di tengah-tengah umat Islam, ditambah dengan keinginan mereka untuk memahami petunjuk dan mukzijat-mukzijatnya, telah melahirkan sekian banyak ilmu keislaman dan metode-metode penelitian. Diantaranya telah lahir kaidah-kaidah ilmu Nahwu, Usul fiqh, Ilmu Qira'at, Ilmu Tafsir serta metode-metode penafsiran dan ilmu-ilmu yang lainnya. Bahkan diantaranya metode penafsiran yang terbaru adalah metode tafsir Maudhu'i.Kehidupan maryarakat dalam bidang ekonomi makin berkembang sehingga bentuk-bentuk baru transaksi ekonomi juga makin berkembang hal ini tidak terlepas dari tinjauan dari segi hukum Islam. Oleh karena itu pembahasan masalah riba akan selalu aktual, karena berkaitan langsung dengan kehidupan maryarakat.Setiap muslim telah sepakat tentang keharaman masalah riba, berdasarkan kepada al-Qur'an, Sunnah serrta Ijma' Ulama. Tetapi dalam masalah ini masih mengandung pertanyaan, apa yang dimaksud sesungguhnya oleh al-Qur'an dengan riba yang diharamkan itu ?. Untuk mendapat keterangan tentang masalah ini penulis mencoba membahasnya, dalam karya Ilmiah, dengan judul : "Interpretasi ayat-ayat riba dalam kajian tafsir Maudhui'.
PROSPEK PENGAJARAN BAHASA ARAB DI INDONESIA
Authors: Ismail Achmad Satori
Published: February 2019

Adalah suatu kenyataan yang belum terbantahkan bahwa Indonesia merupakan negara berpenduduk Muslim terbesar diseluruh dunia. Sementara itu, bahasa utama Islam terutama dalam doktrin dan ritual adalah bahasa Arab. Dengan demikian prospek pengajaran bahasa Arab di Indonesia nampaknya sangatlah besar dan menjanjikan sekaligus menantang. Di lain pihak, pendekatan dan metode pengajaran bahasa pada umumnya juga berkembang dan bermunculan dengan sangat cepat sehingga pada titik tertentu membingungkan para pemakainya untuk menetukan pilihan. Hal tersebut juga berlaku bagi para pengajar bahasa Arab. Namun demikian, di antara sekian banyak pendekatan dan metode tersebut, nampaknya pendekatan komunikatif merupakan pendekatan yang paling sesuai, setidaknya ia merupakan metode yang dalam dua dasawarsa terakhir ini sangat dianjurkan pemakaiannya dalam pengajaran bahasa asing di Indonesia. Pendekatan komunikatif ini, terutama dalam pengajaran bahasa Arab, nampaknya baru bisa diterapkan apabila peserta didik sudah memiliki dasar-dasar bahasa Arab dan mampu menggunakannya dalam muhadatsah yaumiyah. Tingkatan kemampuan seperti itu setidaknya baru dimiliki oleh peserta didik di tingkat perguruan tinggi seperti mahasiswa jurusan bahasa Arab, di Fakultas Adab dan Tarbiyah.
