Determining the Cost of Care for U.S. Healthcare Providers: A Hybrid Approach
Authors: Abualhaija Dr. Mohamed
Published: July 2020

Many US healthcare providers can’t easily calculate the cost of treating patients. They use simple calculations such as the cost-to-charge ratio (CCR) which Medicare uses for reimbursement purposes and the ratio-of-cost-to-charge (RCC) which allocates costs to patients based on revenue generated from revenue centers. Healthcare providers are unique, provide different services, and use different resources for treatments. A-one-size-fits-all costing system can’t work for all sizes and different specialty practices. Scholars suggested many costing methods that can be used in different healthcare practices, such as the unit cost analysis, the standard costing method, the gross-costing method, the chart of accounts, the resource-based relative value units (RBRVS), the step-down cost accounting (SDCA), and the activity-based costing (ABC). The purpose of this article is to recommend a costing method that can be easily learned and applied by different size healthcare providers. The proposed hybrid costing approach can help providers calculate the cost of care by capturing the cost of routine and standard exams, treatments, services, and procedures using the process costing system, and capture all other costs that are unique to each patient using the job order costing system. Adequately determining the cost of care will help healthcare leaders improve planning and budgeting for target income and achieve organizational efficiency and effectiveness.
EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF PILE FOUNDATION GROUND BASE REINFORCED WITH HARD INCLUSIONS
Authors: Nuzhdin M. L
Published: July 2020

Often in construction practice there is a need to strengthen the pile foundation of buildings and structures. The traditional methods include the implementation of additional, as a rule, bored piles with the subsequent erection of a grillage incorporating them into operation. Often, this work has to be done in the conditions of dense urban development, in cramped rooms of the basement, etc., which leads to significant technological difficulties. One of the alternative ways to strengthen pile foundations is the method of high-pressure group injection, which consists in injecting a movable cement-sand mortar into the soil under pressure that exceeds its structural strength. As a result, after its hardening, solid injection bodies are formed at the base, reinforcing the soil base. The article describes the results of experiments to assess the impact of the layout of hard inclusions on the deformability of the soil foundation of the pile foundation model. The experiments were carried out in a small soil tray, which was filled with medium-grained loose sand. The piles were modeled with metal rods, the pile grillage with a metal square stamp. The pile foundation model included 9 piles arranged in a square grid. As injection bodies, gravel grains of various sizes and shapes were used. The studies included 10 series of experiments (each experiment was repeated at least 3 times): the volume of the inclusions used, their sizes, the positioning step in the plan and in depth varied. As a result of the analysis of the performed experiments, conclusions were formulated regarding the purpose of the optimal layout of hard inclusions when strengthening the soil foundation of pile foundations by high-pressure injection of mobile cement-sand mixtures.

Published: July 2020

This article includes the way to prevent deformation of linear constructions which can due to the laying of the heating network because heating promotes ice formation. The considered design of the pavement cover during the laying of the heating network is being built on a section of the road on Pionerskaya street, which belongs to the roads of the third category. There are results of scientific research and engineering calculations of options for rational design of roads when laying the heating network and the example of the Far Eastern section of the road. The development is a generalization of the results of solving engineering, scientific, and settlement applied objectives. There is heating network is being laid, in the area under considerationwhich will subsequently warm up the outer surface of the asphalt concrete due to the heat generation of the pipes. It will cause the formation of ice on the outer surface of the asphalt concrete during period with negative temperatures. This construction imitaties plate in the rubble layers by using an integrated biaxial geogrid, as well as the laying of the heat insulation layer. The analysis of the initial data, as well as during the realization of the work, has established that, in order to be able to evaluate and compare the various indicators, it is necessary to provide calculated and theoretical studies for several construction options. Analysis of possible methods and means for determining rational structure parameters showed that it would be advisable to use geotechnical software systems «FEM models» and «Termoground». These software systems are able to jointly simulate the work of structures by its stress state, as well as by the ongoing thermodynamic processes in the annual freeze-thaw cycle. Numerical simulation of the structure operation using this software geotechnical complex allowed us to estimate the stability of the structure deformations, as well as to limit the heating of the asphalt concrete surface.

Published: July 2020

Modern technologies are not standing still, and scientists are trying not only to invent new building materials, but also to find non-standard use of various raw materials that were previously considered unsuitable for use. Innovative technologies are actively used for modern construction of buildings, in particular, some types of new materials are used in the construction of various facilities. This is especially true in areas where it is not possible to import or use ordinary building materials for various reasons. Often, when designing a building, developers are wondering whether it is worth making the house warm during construction, and which insulation for the walls of the house is better to choose. This article addresses the question of which insulation for walls is most suitable for construction. The most common are mineral insulation, which are represented on the market today in the form of basalt slabs, fiberglass, etc. They have such advantages as low thermal conductivity, good thermal insulation and vapor permeability. The article presents a table with comparative performance characteristics of a mineral wool stone slab and a fiberglass slab. Stone or basalt wool has several advantages. It is able to withstand significant temperatures and temperature changes, the mats are easy to transport, convenient to install. In our opinion, a serious alternative to basalt in the production of thermal insulation materials is volcanic ash. One of the main features of volcanic ash are its building qualities, such as good thermal insulation and an environmentally friendly composition. Since here we are considering the possibility of producing insulation materials based on volcanic ash, we performed a thermal calculation of the enclosing structures. Also in the tables are the costs of transportation of volcanic ash from the field to the point of the proposed production of insulating material. Volcanic ash can be widely used in countries with high volcanic activity as an inexpensive raw material for the manufacture of building materials. It does not require additional processing and has a number of useful properties.

Today, not only the scope of expertise has expanded, their number has increased in connection with various assignments, but their structure has become much more complicated. In this article, the authors systematized and generalized the regulatory and technical base and experience of passing state and non state expert reviews of design and estimate documentation, indicating the features of this procedure with various parameters and conditions in order to obtain complete information about this procedure for further optimization and harmonization project managers when determining the project approval format. The practical significance of the work is determined by the fact that it has developed on the basis of theoretical and methodological research methods that users need to prepare for passing examinations, formulated practical recommendations and proposals for examination procedures in the field of investment activity. The solution of these problems was carried out using a systematic approach, inductive and deductive methods for assessing the system of state and non-state expertise. In the process of research, the authors used along with scientific and educational sources: federal legislation, decrees and orders of the Government of the Russian Federation. In the work, for the first time, the topology of capital construction objects was developed and presented, on the basis of which a summary table was formed with the required format for coordinating the de-sign and estimate documentation of a particular type of investment and construction project. This material may be useful to project department employees, project managers (Chief Project Engineers), investment project developers in order to optimize work at the stage of examination of design and estimate documentation and to quickly transfer the project from the stage of coordination to the actual implementation stage (implementation construction and installation works).
INVESTIGATION OF INFLUENCE OF THERMOPHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SOIL MASSIF ON THE VALUE OF THERMAL ENERGY TAKEN BY ENERGY EFFICIENT PILE
Authors: Ovchinnikov N. M , Zaharov A. V
Published: July 2020

The depletion of traditional fossil energy sources leads to an increasing development of non-traditional energy sources. One of the promising directions of alternative energy is the use of low-potential energy of the soil massif for heating buildings and structures for various purposes. Heat extraction is possible through the use of energy-efficient Foundation structures. However, their rational design is impossible without a careful assessment of a large number of factors that affect the potential value of thermal energy extracted from the earth's thickness. The purpose of this work was to build a whole methodology to assess the degree of influence of thermophysical characteristics of the soil mass, in particular, such as heat capacity and thermal conductivity, on the amount of heat energy selected energy-efficient pile. The formulation and analysis of the numerical experiment to identify the desired dependencies. The matrix of experiment planning is made. The numerical simulation of the energy-efficient pile of different geometric parameters in different soil conditions is performed. Statistical processing of the obtained experimental data was carried out. A quadratic regression equation was developed to determine the amount of heat through the side surface of the pile depending on the length of the pile, its diameter, heat capacity and thermal conductivity of the soil. The analysis of this equation for the purpose of estimation of degree of influence of initial thermophysical parameters of soil on value of thermal energy of the selected pile is carried out.

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir as interfaces entre a Educação Profissional e a economia, privilegiando três aspectos, a saber: a produção, o trabalho e a educação. Trata-se de um artigo de revisão da literatura, elaborado a partir do método do materialismo histórico-dialético. Os resultados apontam para a íntima relação existente entre a produção, o trabalho e a Educação Profissional, no contexto da economia de base capitalista. As conclusões indicam, ainda, que o impacto das influências econômicas sobre a concepção dos currículos e, por conseguinte, sobre a formação dos sujeitos, exige medidas de integralização curricular para evitar que a Educação Profissional sirva apenas ao atendimento das demandas pontuais de mercado, em detrimento da busca de uma formação omnilateral, cujo objetivo é o desenvolvimento das amplas capacidades humanas.
How We Talk when We Talk About Disabled Children and Their Families: An Invitation to Queer the Discourse
Authors: Metell Maren
Published: July 2020

Despite contemporary perspectives in resource-oriented music therapy, community music therapy, and anti-oppressive practice, there seems still to be a tendency to describe disabled children and their families in a pathologizing, problem-focused way. Disability is often located within the child and not in the societal structures that sustain and support the concept of disability as tragedy and burden for the families. Queer theories challenge the concepts of normality and fixed identities, reject pathologization, and politicize access. In this paper, I attempt to explore how queertheories offer a critical perspective on normativity, identity, and power. I will do this by exploring the concept of normality and normativity and discourse current representations of disabled children in the music therapy literature and by reflecting upon an ongoing participatory action research project where I aim to co-create knowledge on musicking, its accessibility, and meaning together with disabled children and their families. I argue that we need to change the way we talk and write about our practice as well as to challenge the concepts and attitudes toward diversity in order to contribute to inclusive environments that appreciate and celebrate diversity.
“It's Like Mixing Paint”: Songwriting Gender Diversity and Alternative Gender Cultures with Young People as an ‘After-queer’ Methodology
Authors: Scrine Elly
Published: July 2020

This paper conceptualises songwriting as an ‘after-queer’ approach for exploring notions of gender and sexuality with young people. The article draws on songs created by seven groups of young people in music-based workshops which took place in schools with participants aged between 14–17. During these workshops, songwriting was used to explore the participants' imaginings of what gender might look like in their "perfect world". 'After-queer' scholarship is introduced and referred to throughout the paper as it relates to queer theory and research with young people, particularly focusing on discourses of risk and vulnerability that emerge across these fields. The paper highlights the value of creative and arts-based methodologies in queer research, through which expansion and questions of possibility, alternative, and identity can be raised and responded to. 'After queer' is offered as a useful lens for critical analysis, particularly in light of complex questions related to the promotion of "diversity" that emerged through the findings.
Human Language Technology

Published: July 2020

Human language technology encompasses a wide array of speech and text processing capabilities. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's pioneering research on automatic transcription, translation, and content analysis were major artificial intelligence success stories that changed science fiction into social fact. During a 40‐year period, 10 seminal DARPA programs produced breakthrough capabilities that were further improved and widely deployed in popular consumer products, as well as in many commercial, industrial, and governmental applications. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency produced the core enabling technologies by setting crisp, aggressive, and quantitative technical objectives; by providing strong multiyear funding; and by using the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's Common Task Method, which was powerful, efficient, and easy to administer. To achieve these breakthroughs, multidisciplinary academic and industrial research teams working in parallel took advantage of increasingly large and diverse sets of linguistic data and rapidly increasing computational power to develop and use increasingly sophisticated forms of machine learning. This article describes the progression of technical advances underlying key successes and the seminal programs that produced them.

Published: July 2020

Анализируется подход к оптимизации быстро меняющихся процессов с использованием гендерного генетического алгоритма. Отличие от традиционного генетического алгоритма состоит в разделении искусственной популяции на два пола. Разделение по полу позволяет сочетать быструю приспособляемость к изменениям за счет вариации мужской субпопуляции с фиксацией приспособляемости в женской части популяции. Показано преимущество эффекта метаобучения параметров мутации и дополнительного обучения индивидуумов в форме Болдуина в сравнении с обычным гендерным генетическим алгоритмом и алгоритмом Ламарка при нахождении динамических оптимальных решений. В качестве перспективного применения гендерного генетического алгоритма с эффектом Болдуина отмечена динамика тушения природных пожаров.

SECONDARY EDUCATION OF THE 1920’s IN THE SOVIET PROVINCE
Authors: Asanishvili M.
Published: July 2020

During the existence of the USSR, the Bolsheviks wanted to built a new class system in which workers would be the main social group. School in this context should have been included children to the adulthood from a young age. A tool of reeducation and breakdown of a child's life was a work. The reform of secondary education in the 1920s in the USSR meant the beginning of the cultural, social and economic dialogue of the Bolsheviks with their own commonwealth. This dialogue should to determine the further social development of the USSR. Teachers, local jurisdictions and children should become leaders of the dialogue.

The population of the USSR in the early 1920s was predominantly rural. That’s why children were in a traditional family. At such environment, the child didn’t have his own desires, dreams, free time, etc. Parents always involved children to the land work and housekeeping. The Bolsheviks' idea of a school, in which a child would acquire a profession and work, was met with strong resistance among the local population. In the villagers` outlook, the school had to give only reading and elementary grammar. Everything else for existence will be given by the land on which the child must look after. This caused a confrontation between Bolsheviks and local population and fit into the “one-to-one” scheme. Bolsheviks used repression, after the resistance to a unified labor school. Repression meant an attempt to subjugate the traditional population and educate a “new person”.

The “other-to-other” scheme also works with respect to the main actors in school life and power. Teachers, as the main leaders of the idea of unified labor school, had to bring up a "new person" locally. But in order to bring up a "new person", must understand what it is and have clear methods of education. The only thing that was clear to the teachers of the 1920s in the USSR – to use work as a tool of education at school. This is not surprising, because the person who chose the profession of а teacher, in the beginning of the Soviet Union, was not intended to educate the generation of communists, but to save their own lives, get benefits and wages, escape from the repression because of own past. That is why, a new generation of teachers consisted of "former" people, such as: White Guards, imperial officers, rich villagers and clergy. These people learned the Soviet language and successfully held posts at the school. It was convenient, but they couldn’t become the leaders of new ideas.

So, the project of unified labor school in the USSR in the early 1920s was probably a dialogue or a monologue of Soviet power to the population. School, as a tool of education, became a field of confrontation between different social groups.
SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF MEDIEVAL EDGED WEAPONS: A HISTORIOGRAPHY
Authors: Valentyrova K.
Published: July 2020

The history of scientific study of medieval edged weapons dates back over 200 years. During this time a lot of information has been accumulated and this knowledge is a necessary basis for further research. However, the methods and approaches by which that data was obtained deserve special attention. Traditions to collect ancient artifacts significantly influenced the formation of scientific interest in bladed weapons. The first attempts to analyze the material were related the need to catalog it. For the 19th century, we can talk about different scientific works in which the main or significant attention was paid to edged weapons. Shaping of approaches to the study of ancient weapons which are central today developed gradually. Standards of description of items, typology, and technology and material analysis, studying of artifacts in a broad cultural context became the main vectors of work with medieval edged weapon. At the turn of the 20th – 21st centuries development of chemical and physical sciences, the complication of the methodological apparatus and the accumulation of archaeological material narrowly focused works built on in-depth analysis of small groups of artifacts and use of specific research methods. The interdisciplinary approach, which involves the research of one problem by specialists in different fields of science, has taken a significant place in the edged weapon studying. Thus, the further development of the classical approaches, combined with the new ones emerging at the boundaries of the disciplines, opens up new opportunities for gaining the most accurate knowledge about past through the study of blade weapons.

Like any part of the past, blade weapons as a source can be perceived by the researcher entirely subjectively, so it is important to understand the limits of this perception and the accents it provides. The analysis of the process of formation of research strategies and methods which widely used today makes it possible to determine further optimal ways of their development. As well as it allows assuming which previously obtained ideas and assertion require verification.
POSITION OF UKRAINIAN EMIGRANTS (“EXPATRIATES”) IN THE SERMONS OF METROPOLITAN ILARION (ON THE MATERIALS OF “THE WORD OF TRUTH” MAGAZINE, 1947-1951)
Authors: Vasylyk T.
Published: July 2020

The periodical press is rightly called a treasure trove of diverse information from the life of a particular historical era. Important for the study of the history of Ukrainian society is the periodical press of Ukrainian diaspora, which contains different types of source information: socio-political, scientific, technical, cultural, religious etc. The article deals with the poorly studied part of the preaching heritage of Metropolitan Ilarion (Ivan Ohiienko). The main attention is paid to the sermons of Metropolitan Ilarion, declared in the early years of bishops' service in Canada and published in "The Word of Truth" magazine, which had been publishing in Winnipeg during the 1947-1955 by the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada.

Sermons of Metropolitan Іilarion (Ivan Ohiienko) are a significant source of information for the reproducing the historical past of Ukrainians. The author discovered 21 of his sermons that have been published in "The Word of Truth” magazine. The author focuses on the sermons in which the Metropolitan touches upon the pressing issues of the difficult existence of Ukrainian emigrants. According to the Metropolitan Іlarion, there were two groups of Ukrainian emigrants after the Second World War: the so-called “Ostarbeiters” and intellectuals. The status of the second group was harder

Metropolitan Іlarion (Ivan Ohienko) called for mutual respect and assistance, and unity around the issue of national identity and development of Ukrainian society. Given that the preaching legacy of Metropolitan Іlarion (Ivan Ohiienko) is poorly researched, the sermons discussed in this article supplement the history of Ukrainian emigration and are an integral component of Ukraine's national spiritual and cultural heritage.
THE PHENOMENON OF «CIVILIAN HOSTAGE» IN THE DEPORTATION PRACTICES OF SOVIET SPECIAL SERVICES IN WESTERN UKRAINE IN 1944-1952
Authors: Kohut A.
Published: July 2020

In 1944, with the beginning of the re-occupation of Western Ukraine by the Soviet Union, the practice of using forced evictions of local civilians as a method of repression and combating against anti-Soviet organizations and movements was restored. In fact, the deportation campaign against the “OUN families” was continued, which began on May 22, 1941 and lasted, with a break for the German occupation, until 1952.

The deportation campaign included four stages: (1) operation on May 22, 1941, when 3 079 families or 11 329 persons were evicted; (2) campaigns of 1944–1946 – 14 726 families or 36 609 persons; (3) operation “Zapad” (“West”) on October 21–26, 1947 – 26,332 families or 77,791 persons; and (4) 1948–1952 campaigns – 22,308 families or 80,209 persons. In total, 205,938 people were deported from Western Ukraine as part of this campaign. Counterinsurgency against the Ukrainian anti-Soviet Resistance movement (primarily the OUN and the UPA) was the main purpose of these measures of the Soviet special services.

Initially, the use of mass deportations was aimed at destroying the base of the Ukrainian anti-Soviet resistance movement and focused primarily on the families of the killed, arrested and active members of the underground. With the resumption of the deportation campaign in 1944, the application of the principle of hostility began to become dominant. Initially as a “family hostage” (since August 1944), and soon as civilian hostage – when the principle of collective responsibility of the local civilian population start used.

The first detected order of the Soviet special services, which provided the application of the principle of civil hostage, was issued on May 24, 1945 jointly by the NKVD and the NKGB of the Ukrainian SSR. Despite the absence of any direct reference to the principle of hostage in the regulatory acts of operation "Zapad", civilians and members of the anti-Soviet resistance movement perceived it as a “response” to the activity of Ukrainian insurgents.

On October 20, 1948, the USSR Order No.00386 was issued, which was based directly on the principles of civil hostage. For more effective implementation of the Chekist “retaliatory actions” a special logistic infrastructure of special assembly points was created.

Based on this analysis, it was established that the Stalinist repression system used the principles of joint and several liabilities for the local civilian population of Western Ukraine in 1944–1952. It can be qualified as a violation of the rules of international conventions by the Soviet special services that prohibit the practice of hostage among civilian persons who are not involved in armed conflicts.
PETRO SHELEST, VOLODYMYR SHCHERBITSKY AND RICHARD NIXON: AMERICAN “TRACE” IN THE FALL OF THE FIRST SECRETARY OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF UKRAINE
Authors: Latysh Yu.
Published: July 2020

The article deals with the impact of disputes of leaders of the USSR over the visit of US President R. Nixon to the fall of the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine P. Shelest. The article was published in the ‘Washington Post’ by D. Anderson, which based on the CIA's secret materials contained information about the conflict between L. Brezhnev and P. Shelest regarding R. Nixon's visit and the support of General Secretary by V. Shcherbytsky, are analyzing. P. Shelest's position in the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee on the politics of Détente, R. Nixon's visit and his assessment of the foreign policy of L. Brezhnev is revealed. The positions of other members of the Politburo have been covered. The reasons and circumstances of the increasing influence of L. Brezhnev on the foreign policy of the USSR and the defeat of the supporters of the hard course and the class approach were found out. The role of the international factor in ending the political career of P. Shelest and ascending to the top of the political Olympus of the USSR V. Shcherbytsky was investigated.

As a result of the study, it became known that P. Shelest was an conservator in the foreign policy of the USSR, demanded the suppression of the “Prague Spring”, was skeptical of the Détente and attempts of L. Brezhnev to establish personal contacts with Western leaders. The brutal bombing of North Vietnam and the death of Soviet citizens were a good reason for P. Shelest and N. Podgorny to endure R. Nixon's visit.

P. Shelest's removal was due to internal reasons: his independence position, desire for economic autonomy, insufficiently decisive struggle with dissidents, complaints of other Ukrainian leaders. However, the sudden replacement of the leader of the republic on the eve of the arrival of the President of the United States in Kiev may have been caused by P. Shelest's position regarding Détente and visit of R. Nixon.

Confesar lo que no se sabe. Jacques Derrida y las políticas de la confesión
Authors: Valls Boix Juan Evaristo
Published: July 2020

El propósito del presente estudio consiste en abordar el carácter político del género literario de la confesión a partir de la obra de Jacques Derrida. El interés de esta cuestión radica en que, lejos de hallar en la confesión un dispositivo biopolítico de subjetivación, como hiciera clásicamente Michel Foucault, Derrida encuentra en el género un ejercicio de deconstrucción de la soberanía del sujeto y una destitución de la idea misma de género. Ello implica un desplazamiento de la confesión de su dimensión epistemológica –conocimiento y (auto)vigilancia del sujeto- a su dimensión práctica para valorarla como lenguaje performativo. De esta forma, Derrida ofrece un desarrollo insólito de la teoría de los actos del habla, donde la performatividad se caracteriza no por ser una actividad del lenguaje, sino una pasividad; no por constituir un sujeto a través del lenguaje, sino por alterarlo mediante la palabra, destituirlo. Ello implica, de un lado, que uno confiesa algo que no sabe; y, de otro, que la confesión es un dispositivo textual que contamina a cualquier discurso: todo texto es una confesión. Esta posición supondrá una reconsideración de la figura del autor y de la distinción vida-escritura en la que esta clásicamente se sustenta.
Teoría literaria y flexibilidad interdisciplinar
Authors: Bermúdez Víctor
Published: July 2020

El estudio aborda el carácter interdisciplinar de la teoría literaria y expone una concepción que la sitúa como ámbito de convergencia de perspectivas científicas, y filosóficas en torno al estudio de la imaginación. Se comienza con un alegato sobre la necesidad epistemológica e institucional de dicha interdisciplinariedad y se sugiere que esta da lugar a un cuestionamiento sobre la naturaleza de los resultados que cada campo del saber proporciona. Deriva de ello una reflexión sobre el tipo de conocimiento que otorgan los estudios teórico-literarios y su singularidad con respecto a los saberes. Dada su flexibilidad metodológica, la teoría de la literatura se halla en posición de articular razonamientos sobre los procesos que subyacen al pensamiento literario. Así, una de sus actuales funciones consiste en incorporar concepciones y herramientas de las ciencias cognitivas con un propósito analítico claro, respondiendo a un fenómeno concreto de la cognición humana cuyo reflejo encuentra en la literatura un repositorio privilegiado. El artículo glosa ejemplos de tal fertilidad concibiendo al lenguaje poético como un terreno fértil para dicha convergencia. Se describe aquí la complejidad de la interdisciplinariedad en los estudios literarios y sostiene que la teoría literaria ha de proporcionar un material de interés humanístico, ejemplificado en la investigación de procesos específicos de la imaginación poética. Finalmente, se sugiere que la teoría literaria se halla en posición de inspirar ideas en las ciencias cognitivas mediante sus aportaciones sobre el funcionamiento del lenguaje literario y sobre la relevancia de la literatura como corpus de la conciencia humana.

One of the options to extend medical services coverage is deploying a telemedicine system, where medical personnel make use of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) to overcome distance and time constraints. The implementation of telemedicine systems in Indonesia faces challenges posed by the lack of ICT infrastructure availability, such as communication networks, data centres, and other computing resources. To deal with these challenges, a telemedicine innovation needs to produce a modular and flexible system that is adaptive to medical services needed and the available ICT infrastructure. This paper presents research and development of a telemedicine system prototype for tele-electrocardiography (tele-ECG) and teleconsultation. The contributions offered are integrating system from various open-source modules and the system operational feasibility based on its function and performance. The research is conducted on a testbed which represents various components involved in the telemedicine system operation. Experiments are carried out to assess the system functionality and observe whether tele-ECG and teleconsultation reach their expected performance. Experiment results show that the system works properly and recommend several multimedia communication modes to achieve the target quality based on the available network bandwidth.
Comparison of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Performances in Various Network Topologies
Authors: Prasetyo Junaedi Adi , Suardinata I Wayan
Published: July 2020

VoIP is a digital communication technology that is currently developing because VoIP can be implemented on several network topologies, such as bus, star, and ring. Each of these topologies has advantages and disadvantages. So, a study is required to find out in which topology can VoIP be implemented optimally. In this research, VoIP is implemented in several topologies and furthermore the performance measurements are carried out for each topology. VQ manager is installed in order to measure the VoIP performance. For the server, we used Elastix and for the node implementation network topologies, we use several access points. From the results of the research, the performance of VoIP implemented in the star topology produces QoS that is better than other topologies with a delay value of 185 ms, 18 ms jitter, and 1% packet loss. This happens because in the star topology, all packets are distributed centrally. It is expected that the results of this research can be used as a reference in the application of VoIP technology in several types of topologies.
