Published: December 2016

Cluster analysis in this study is a set of methods to classify multi-dimensional observation of the state of small-and medium-sized enterprises in the regions of Russia. The importance of this problem is connected with the fact that the use of standard tools of analysis (including standard econometric procedures) with the presence of clusters in the data leads to a shift as the point estimates (coefficients re-progression), and standard errors, and consequently, to incorrect inference. The grouping of regions in terms of development of small and medium-sized enterprises can serve as a basis for further government measures to modernize small and medium business and reducing regional disparities. Identifying typical levels of development of small and medium-sized businesses in Russian regions, highlighting the most similar to each other entities can be through the use of classification of groups according to the considered indicators of small and medium businesses.

El análisis muestra la existencia de cuatro factores que intervienen de manera relevante en el uso de las TIC en las aulas de matemáticas. Otro resultado del estudio es la constatación de que los profesores tienen, por lo general, una predisposición positiva al uso de las TIC en su actividad docente, aunque dicha predisposición no parece corresponderse con su uso real.
Pricing Problems Under the Nested Logit Model with a Quality Consistency Constraint
Authors: Davis James M. , Topaloglu Huseyin , Williamson David P.
Published: December 2016

We consider pricing problems when customers choose among the products according to the nested logit model and there is a quality consistency constraint on the prices charged for the products. We consider two types of quality consistency constraint. In the first, there is an inherent ordering between the qualities of the products in a particular nest and the price for a product of a higher quality should be larger. In the second type of constraint, different nests correspond to different quality levels; the price for any product in a nest corresponding to a higher quality level should be larger than the price for any product in a nest corresponding to a lower quality level. Prices for the products are chosen from a finite set of possible prices. We develop algorithms to find the prices to charge for the products to maximize the expected revenue obtained from a customer, while adhering to a quality consistency constraint. Our algorithms are based on solving linear programs whose sizes scale polynomially with the number of nests, number of products, and number of possible prices for the products. We also give extensions to the cases beyond the two types of quality consistency constraints. Numerical experiments indicate that our algorithms can effectively compute the optimal prices even when there is a large number of products in consideration.

Authors: Dervishaj Shefqet
Published: December 2016

In the early postwar years, Kosovo was faced with a destroyed economy and an inexperienced tax system and was mainly based on the experiences of other countries and not in accordance with the real situation and needs of post-war Kosovo which had to start from “zero” in many areas.The post-war tax policy in Kosovo started with the tax system in accordance with UNMIK Regulations, which were almost all copied from other countries such as from countries in transition as well as from EU Countries,  therefore these regulations were inconsistent with the current situation in Kosovo.The Agency which deals with tax administration is the Tax Administration in Kosovo (TAK).  From the beginning of the work of TAK, from 2000 until today, Kosovo`s tax system has been constantly adapting changes in tax laws aswell as in tax rates.  The main focus of this paper is how changes affect the applicable tax rates in Kosovo and how much impact has this change on the TAK revenues. The current applicable taxes in Kosovo are: Value added tax (VAT); Personal income tax (PIT), and Corporate income tax (CIT).  All these different kinds of taxes have undergone changes in their application as well as in their level of tax rates.

Organizations exercise their activity in order to achieve their profit, while offering their products and services. Operations Management refers to the projection, operation and control of the process of transformation of inputs, such as human and material resources, into products or services that you offer to clients. The focus of this paper is the impacts of the time factor in the management of operations in public organizations, in particular the Kosovo Tax Administration (TAK).TAK's mission is to collect revenues for the Kosovo budget and provide professional services to taxpayers so that taxpayers will enable voluntary fulfilment of tax obligations to compile the revenues for the Kosovo budget efficiently with lower cost. Operations Management at TAK is the process of realization of revenue and provision of services where the transformation process from inputs into outputs occurs. As inputs for this process is the staff or human resources, information, information technology, etc. whereas, output are revenues and services provided to tax payers.The objective of this paper is to identify how employees manage time and how this factor affects the time to accomplish the purpose, and whether there is a set of standards regarding the planning and use of time.Methodology used for this paper will be based on qualitative interviews and gathering empirical data about the plan and the realization of tasks, and how time is used as an important resource and thus how they can achieve its operational objectives.
THE REPRESENTATION OF THE WOMAN IN THE MEDIA DISCOURSE IN ALBANIA
Authors: Hoxha Isida
Published: December 2016

In the Albanian society, gender differences remain even though several initiatives of national and international authorities aim to eliminate stereotyping related to gender differences. In this context, media can and must be , the most essential contributor towards improving women’s status. Media, through its power, can greatly influence public opinion by orienting the information the public receives and how the public should thinks. This approach in communication science is part of the “framing” theory, which is related to agenda setting. The research question raised in this paper is about how the woman is represented in the written media in Albania. Are the stereotypes created by society reinforced by the printed media? The methodology used in this study involves discourse analyses of the printed media, specifically the independent newspapers during October 2012. The findings of this study explain that, while the press brands  the woman, representation enforces her stereotype.

Background:

Heart failure (HF) is a complex and highly debilitating clinical syndrome. International guidelines identify the optimum clinical management of patients living with HF in primary care but translation of these into practice remains inadequate. The aim of this service evaluation is to measure standards of HF diagnosis and management, before and after the implementation of The Greater Manchester Heart Failure Investigation Tool (GM-HFIT), a facilitated ‘tool kit’ designed to optimise HF care.

Methods:

The GM-HFIT was developed as a means of assessing and improving care and was implemented as part of a facilitated service improvement and evaluation in primary care using a prospective, pre-test, post-test design.

Results:

Anonymised pre- and post-audit data were taken from a sample of 1130 cases entered on general practice HF registers. These cases were from two clinical commissioning groups (39 general practices) in the north west of England and were analysed to compare HF management and treatment parameters against clinical guidelines. Implementation of the GM-HFIT tool kit was associated with a reduction in the number of patients inappropriately placed on the HF register (p<0.001), an improvement in the recording and documentation of pulse rate and rhythm (p=0.005) and the proportion of patients receiving the target dose of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and beta-blockers (p<0.001). There was no significant difference in the recording and documentation of blood pressure levels or in documented target blood pressure levels across the time points.

Conclusion:

The introduction of the GM-HFIT kit was associated with statistically significant improvements in the identification and clinical management of patients diagnosed with HF in primary care.
Wound bed preparation: A novel approach using HydroTherapy
Authors: Atkin Leanne , Ousey Karen
Published: December 2016

Wounds that fail to heal quickly are often encountered by community nursing staff. An important step in assisting these chronic or stalled wounds progress through healing is debridement to remove devitalised tissue, including slough and eschar, that can prevent the wound from healing. A unique wound treatment called HydroTherapy aims to provide an optimal healing environment. The first step of HydroTherapy involves HydroClean plus™, this dressing enables removal of devitalised tissue through autolytic debridement and absorption of wound fluid. Irrigation and cleansing provided by Ringer's solution from the dressing further removes any necrotic tissue or eschar. Once effective wound bed preparation has been achieved a second dressing, HydroTac™, provides an ongoing hydrated wound environment that enables re-epithelialisation to occur in an unrestricted fashion. This paper presents 3 case studies of slow healing wounds treated with HydroClean plus™ which demonstrates effective wound debridement.

Staff psychological formulation training in adult services
Authors: Bensa Sian , Gregg-Rowbury Laura
Published: December 2016

There is little written about the use of psychological formulation by staff working in adult mental health, despite it being on the curriculum for nursing and psychiatry training in the UK. A psychological formulation training day was held, and changes in mental health staff knowledge, attitude, confidence, capability and potential for change in clinical practice using a cross-sectional questionnaire design were evaluated pre-and post-training. A ‘5Ps’ model of formulation was used as a basis to train staff in formulation. In total, 28 mental health staff including nurses, healthcare assistants, trainee clinical psychologists and occupational therapists attended the formulation training day. Findings revealed overall increases in knowledge, confidence, capability and intentions to use in practice for participants. Clinical implications and limitations in terms of ceiling effects for certain items and the small numbers are discussed.
