Discerning the Role and Appropriate Timing of Furosemide Administration in 99mTc methylene diphosphonate Bone Scintigraphy: A randomized controlled trial.
Authors: Sarwal Tanvi , . Prabhat , Gururani Praveen , Deswal Satyawati , Paudel Jiwan
Published: January 2024

Bone scintigraphy is a highly sensitive nuclear medicine imaging technique used to detect various pathologies of bone. Usually, whole body planar images are acquired at 2.5 to 3 hours after 99mTc MDP injection in order to obtain a high bone to soft tissue activity ratio. However, in certian categories of patients, such as the obese, even after 3 hours, there is persistent high soft tissue activity, resulting in poor image quality. Furosemide is a loop diuretic which increases renal excretion of the radiotracer, 99mTc MDP, from the soft tissues. Theoritically, it would lead to higher target to backgroud ratio, and hence superior image quality. Thus, we investigated the effect of additon of furosemide on the image quality of bone scintigraphy with 99mTc MDP.

Authors: Thahir Muhammad Agam , Anzuardhi Anzuardhi , Amrullah T. , Ukhty Nabila , Nasution Muhammad Arif
Published: January 2024

Fish quality is very important to determine the selling price of fish in the market; therefore, it is necessary to have special handling in storage so that the quality of fish does not decrease. Fishermen usually use styrofoam-insulated coolboxes to maintain fish quality. This study aims to determine the lowest temperature and temperature stability. This research was conducted in April-June 2022 at the Integrated Fisheries Laboratory, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science, Teuku Umar University. The method used is a quantitative experimental method using a completely randomized design (CRD) with 1 control, 2 treatments, and 3 replicates. Tests were carried out by measuring the temperature of the coolbox room filled with 3 kg of bulk ice and looking at temperature changes within 9 hours. The lowest temperature test results contained in the rice husk coolbox were 17.4°C, the corn cob coolbox had the lowest temperature of 19.3°C, and in the styrofoam coolbox (control), the lowest temperature obtained was 13.6°C. The temperature comparison between the styrofoam coolbox, rice husk insulation coolbox, and corn cob insulation coolbox shows that, in terms of the lowest temperature point, the styrofoam coolbox is still better than the rice husk and corn cob coolbox, while the rice husk coolbox is still lower in temperature than the corn cob coolbox

Pre and Post–Merger Financial Performance Analysis of Commercial Banks in Nepal
Authors: Adhikari Pitri Raj
Published: January 2024

Purpose: This study attempts to examine the effect of merger on the financial performance of Nepalese commercial banks.

Methodology: This paper employs a descriptive and causal comparative research design to examine the financial performance of commercial banks involved in six merger deals as of mid-July 2022, with a sample of four merger deals completed before mid-July 2018. Mean, standard deviation, paired sample t-test, Pearson correlation, regression analysis, and the VIF test, are utilized for data analysis. Financial performance is evaluated using nine key ratios (EPS, NWPS, P/E ratio, CD ratio, CAR, NPL ratio, ROA, ROE, and NPM). Secondary data covering six years (2010 to 2019), excluding the specific merging year, are analyzed.

Findings: The analysis of pre- and post-merger financial performance in the sample commercial banks revealed statistically significant differences in EPS, NWPS, ROA, and NPM. Positive correlations were observed between the pre- and post-merger periods for EPS, NWPS, CD ratio, CAR, NPL ratio, ROA, ROE, and NPM, excluding the P/E ratio. The merger proved beneficial for Nepalese commercial banks, leading to improved profitability in terms of EPS, ROA, and NPM in the post-merger phase. However, factors like CD ratio, CAR, and NPL ratio, regulated by the NRB, showed no significant changes post-merger. Although banks experienced increased P/E ratio and ROE, the impact was deemed insignificant. Notably, CAR had the most significant impact on both pre- and post-merger ROA.

Implication: The results derived from the study are relevant to managers for future merger decisions and can be used for the selection of a suitable partner for future merger activities.

Value: It contributes to a better understanding of the overall merger scenario in Nepalese banking sector, as well as the relationship between certain restrictions and merger.

Authors: Ghimire Rabindra , Chapagain Ramkrishna
Published: January 2024

Purpose: Subsidy based agriculture insurance schemes is flagship insurance program of Nepal which was started in Nepal one decade before. This paper aims to identify the factors influencing the satisfaction of agriculture insurance policyholders.

Design/Methodology/Approach: Primary data were collected in Bharatpur and Pokhara metropolis of Nepal using structured questionnaire among 400 agriculture insurance policyholders who have already received claims or whose claim was in settlement process or whose claim was rejected by the insurer. Sample was selected using purposive and cluster sampling methods. Data were analysed through Mean, ANOVA, Wilk's Lamda and MANOVA tools.

Findings: Age, landholding size, self-reported perception of insurance companies' service quality, and agriculture insurance types are insignificant while location of respondents, education level, food sufficiency of family, size of the farming, and respondents' assets are significant factors for policyholders' satisfaction towards the agriculture insurance. Timely settlement of claims increases the level of satisfaction. Nepal Insurance Authority and the Ministry of Agriculture Development need to review the existing directives to improve the agriculture insurance program. Insurance companies are suggested to offer prompt and quality services to policyholders and carry out educational campaign to increase customer awareness.

Originality/Value: The study identified pertinent variables significant and indifference to farmers' satisfaction towards agriculture insurance. It also digs out the role of financial and nonfinancial aspects of insurance services. The study opens the door for further research on similar issues to enhance the existing body of knowledge.

Implications: The demand for agriculture insurance is not increased significantly even large amount of subsidy in premium was provided. Present study may be useful to insurance companies, agents, regulators, the Ministry of Agriculture Development, researchers, and practitioners. The study can be used as a reference by managers of insurers to formulate the future strategies to enhance the agriculture insurance market.
Global regularity criteria for the 2D Magneto-micropolar Equations with Partial Dissipation
Authors: K.C. Durga Jang , Regmi Dipendra
Published: January 2024

The magneto-micropolar equations model the motion of electrically conducting micropolar fluids in the presence of a magnetic field.These equations have been the focus of numerous analytical, experimental, and numerical investigations.One fundamental problem concerning these equations is whether their classical solutions are globally regular for all time or if they develop finite time singularities.The global regularity problem can be particularly challenging when there is only partial dissipation. In this paper, we study the 2D incompressible magneto-micropolar equations with partial dissipation prove two new regularity results. The first result addresses a weak solution, and the second result establishes global regularity criteria. As a consequence, we can single out one special partial dissipation case and establish the global regularity if (∂y u1, ∂y u2) ∈ L∞ [0, T ], R2. The proofs of our main results rely on anisotropic Sobolev-type inequalities and the appropriate combination and cancellation of terms.
2D Surface Quasi Geostrophic Equations and its Regularity, A Numerical Study
Authors: Shrestha Pawan , K.C. Durga Jang , Sharma Ramjee
Published: January 2024

In this article, we present some results on the numerical solutions of the 2-D Surface Quasi Geostrophic Equation (SQG) using the pseudospectral method along with an exponential filter. The global regularity of the solution of the inviscid SQG equation for general data remains an outstanding open problem. Our computations mainly focus on the inviscid and supercritical cases. We monitored the regions where the level curves come significantly close to one another, the L2 norm, and the growth of |∇⊥θ| throughout our computations. Our numerical findings show that there is no significant difference among the solutions of the supercritical, critical, and subcritical cases as we vary the values of the parameter α in the interval (0, 1).
North Korea: The End of Strategic Seclusion?
Authors:   Associate Professor, Oriental Institute-School of Regional and International Studies – Department of International Relations, Far Eastern Federal University, Lukin Artyom L.
Published: January 2024

A lonely but unbroken North Korea stands up against the South Korean-U.S. alliance, playing diplomatic overtures in between crises and skillfully using contradictions between other actors in Northeast Asia. Yet although North Korea has nuclear weapons, the military balance on and around the Korean Peninsula is not developing to Pyongyang’s advantage. This puts North Korea’s security at risk, especially due to the unpredictability of Seoul’s future policy. In terms of Kenneth Waltz’s structural realism, North Korea’s ability to balance the mounting strategic risks internally by mobilizing its own resources is extremely limited. This leaves the option of external balancing through alliance with strong military powers. The theory of structural realism remains relevant and helps to better understand the ongoing rapprochement between Pyongyang and Moscow.

The article discusses the significance of the South Caucasus for China’s foreign economic strategy in terms of transcontinental communications and analyzes the role of the China factor in this region in the post-Soviet period. The authors examine China’s bilateral cooperation in implementing trade, economic, investment, and humanitarian projects with three South Caucasian countries: Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia. One of the key projects is the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR) which is to become part of the Great Silk Road currently under construction as part of the global Belt and Road Initiative. The geopolitical Ukraine crisis of 2022 and Russia’s special military operation (SMO), which has interrupted many transport communications between Russia and the EU countries, has objectively increased the importance of southern bypass transport corridors for China. The priority of this region for China’s foreign economic strategy is extremely relevant today and will remain so in the future.
In Chase of Vanishing Poles: Gaps in Conceptualization of International Politics
Authors:   Professor, Faculty of World Economy and International Affairs, Bordachev Timofei V. ,   Academic Supervisor, Centre for Comprehensive European and International Studies, National Research University–Higher School of Economics,   Program Director, Valdai Discussion Club, Moscow, Russia
Published: January 2024

The paper offers an overview of the academic and practical discussion on ‘polarity’ as a fundamental element of the system of international relations and IR theory. The history of the question shows that the abstract, speculative, and essentially reductionist concept of the ‘pole’ hit the taste of political leaders as an indicator of a country’s power potential and international status, and a pillar of the world order. An academic concept has eventually turned into an instrument of international politics. As a result, the current ‘polar’ discussion has got stuck, unable to expand the analytical framework beyond the concepts that emerged in a completely different historical era. Today, the discussion about ‘poles’ constantly leads the academic community away from studying the reality of world politics, shifting the focus to a plot that has little to do with the changes that form the fabric of international life. Hence it seems it is the time to close it.

Program Deradikalisasi Dalam Perspektif Komunikasi Politik
Authors: Nugrahajati Susilastuti Dwi , Suparno Basuki Agus
Published: January 2024

Kelompok teroris dalam aktivitasnya yang mengedepankan kekerasan, ancaman, dan ketakutan pada dasarnya menyampaikan pesan politik kepada negara. Dalam kegiatannya mereka menggunakan manajemen komunikasi yang detail dengan memperhatikan komponen-komponen komunikasi seperti komunikator, pesan dan penggunaan media. Deradikalisasi merupakan pendekatan soft power untuk melawan radikalisme yang dilakukan BNPT dengan menggunakan pendekatan persuasi. Deradikalisasi yang dilakukan BNPT merupakan pendekatan soft power untuk mengajak mantan narapidana teroris kembali ke NKRI. Program deradikalisasi tidak bisa serta merta mendorong mantan narapidana untuk kembali ke masyarakat. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian terhadap mantan narapidana, program deradikalisasi sebaiknya tidak hanya terfokus pada mereka yang sedang menjalani hukuman, namun juga pihak luar yaitu anggota keluarga yang masih berkomunikasi dengan anggota kelompoknya. Program deradikalisasi perlu mempertimbangkan pemilihan komunikator, isi pesan, komunikasi dan media yang akan digunakan.

Published: January 2024

Tingginya tingkat penyebaran Corona Virus Desease 19 (Covid-19) di Indonesia sepanjang tahun 2020 mendorong pemerintah untuk melakukan penerapan aturan Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar (PSBB). Tidak hanya itu, masyarakat juga berinisiatif menyerukan pencegahan penyebaran Covid-19 melalui karantina wilayah (lockdown) dengan membuat spanduk-spanduk imbauan dan peringatan secara swadaya. Karena dibuat secara swadaya, imbauan dan peringatan bahaya Covid-19 pada spanduk dibuat secara bebas dan beragam, baik dari segi isi informasi, tampilan, maupun cara penyampaian. Tidak jarang imbauan dan peringatan tersebut menimbulkan efek humor. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tingkat relevansi informasi pada imbauan atau peringatan bahaya Covid-19 pada spanduk yang dibuat oleh masyarakat ditinjau dari Teori Relevansi (TR). Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif. Data penelitian ini dikumpulkan dari foto-foto yang berisi spanduk lucu yang diperoleh dari beberapa artikel di media daring, yaitu www.pikiran-rakyat.com, www.brilio.net,www.99.co., dan www.oto.detik.com.. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa informasi pada spanduk buatan masyarakat terkait Covid-19 memiliki tingkat relevansi yang beragam. Tingkat relevansi tersebut dapat dibagi ke dalam tiga kategori, yaitu rendah, sedang, dan tinggi. Namun demikian, hanya kategori rendah dan kategori sedang yang ditemukan pada data. Terkait hubungan antara tingkat relevansi dan efek humor yang ditimbulkannya, hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa spanduk dengan tingkat relevansi sedang maupun rendah berpotensi menciptakan sebuah efek humor. Setelah melewati beberapa tahap interpretasi, pembaca akan menangkap informasi inti sekaligus memperoleh efek humor yang dimaksudkan pembuat spanduk.

Published: January 2024

Nasionalisme yang dimiliki oleh masyarakat perbatasan, khususnya di Papua (Skouw) perlu mendapatkan perhatian khusus, akibat interaksi yang intensif dengan negara tetangga. Interaksi tersebut berupa aktivitas ekonomi, sosial, maupun budaya sebagai negara yang berdampingan dengan Papua Nugini menjadi faktor penting untuk dianalisis, ditinjau dari keuletan dan ketangguhan masyarakat. Interaksi sosial dapat melalui perkembangan teknologi, sosial, budaya, yang menjadi penyebab tergerusnya kearifan lokal di daerah tersebut jika tidak mengoptimalkan filternya sebagai salah satu bentuk kewaspadaan terhadap potensi ancaman. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengeksplorasi interaksi dan persebaran budaya masyarakat perbatasan dengan negara tetangga yang perlu diwaspadai dengan arif dan bijaksana menggunakan strategi penanganan yang efektif dan efisien. Strategi penanganan yang dimaksud memberikan kontribusi pada bidang ilmu komunikasi yang berlandaskan teori model komunikasi SMCR. Mix-metode digunakan untuk pengambilan data melalui penyebaran angket, wawancara mendalam serta observasi yang dilakukan secara langsung di Skouw, Jayapura, Papua, Indonesia. Hasil penelitian ini, menunjukan masyarakat Skouw memiliki nasionalisme dan toleransi yang tinggi. Meskipun mereka sering berinteraksi dengan negara tetangga, akan tetapi, masih mempertahanan keutuhan NKRI dengan menghormati budaya asing yang masuk tanpa meninggalkan budaya asli yang dimilikinya. Penguatan dan peningkatan nilai-nilai kebangsaan perlu menjadi sebuah Gerakan Nasional guna memperkokoh keuletan dan ketangguhan bangsa dalam mewujudkan Ketahanan Nasional.

Authors: Sonnier Michael S , Rittenberger Jon C
Published: January 2024

Background:

Trauma is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States and outcomes are worsening in a time-dependent manner. We developed a series of protocol changes to speed time to care. We hypothesized this bundle of care would improve several imaging metrics.

Methods:

We compared various imaging time metrics from 3 months before the changes to 6 months afterwards. The primary outcome was time to CT interpretation. Secondary outcomes included time to X-ray interpretation and emergency department length of stay.

Results:

Primary and secondary outcome analysis demonstrated significant improvement. Improvements were also noted in severe subgroups.

Conclusion:

The data suggest decreased time from the traumatic mechanism to identification of pathology. Future work should evaluate the effect of this intervention on clinical outcomes.

The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between national identity, achievement motivation, bicultural acceptance attitude, and achievement motivation of multicultural adolescents focused on developmental change by finding longitudinal effects of national identity and bicultural acceptance attitude on achievement motivation, This study utilized data from the 4th one (1st grade in middle school) in 2014 to the 9th one (3rd grade in high school) in 2019 among the multicultural adolescents panel surveyed by the Korea Adolescents Policy Institute. The analysis cases was 1,072 people who responded to all surveys during the period. Data analysis was performed using SPSS Statistics 25 and Mplus8, and the latent growth model was applied. The analysis results are as follows. First, the higher the initial value(in 1st grade of middle school) of national identity of multicultural adolescents, the achievement motivation increases. Second, the initial value(in 1st grade of middle school) of national identity did not affect on the rate of change in achievement motivation. Third, the higher the rate of change of national identity as age increase, achievement motivation become higher. Fourth, the rate of change in achievement motivation of male student becomes higher than that of female students as age increases. Fifth, the higher the initial value(in 1st grade of middle school) of the bicultural acceptance attitude of multicultural adolescents has positive effects on the achievement motivation increases. Sixth, the initial value(in 1st grade of middle school) of the bicultural acceptance attitude of multicultural adolescents doesn’t have no effects on he rate of change in achievement motivation, Seventh, as the rate of change in the bicultural acceptance attitude of multicultural adolescents increases, the rate of change in achievement motivation also become higher. The rate of change is more important that the initial value in national identity and in the bicultural acceptance attitude in increasing achievement motivation of multicultural adolescents. This result shows active support is needed to promote steady development of national identity and bicultural acceptance attitude of multicultural adolescents. And we need to pay attention to prevent the decline in the rate of increase in achievement motivation among female students compared to male students growing into late adolescence.

Published: January 2024

This study viewed continuing education for social workers as an axis of ‘Strategic Human Resources Management’ at the organizational level beyond the level of professional improvement and qualification development, and focused on the learning support environment and educational effectiveness. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate whether the learning support environment affect s organizational performance among middle managers of social service organizations and to verify the mediating effect of learning transfer in continuing education experience. The data for analysis are the results of an online survey conducted in 2022 among middle managers with more than 5 years of experience at social service organizations who completed continuing education for social workers in the Seoul Metropolitan City area. Data from a total of 325 respondents were used in the final analysis. The respondents' level of awareness of the learning support environment was confirmed to be an average of 3.60 points on a 5-point scale, and learning transfer was confirmed to be an average of 3.69 points. As a result of multiple regression analysis, first, the independent variable, learning support environment characteristics, was found to have a significant impact on subjective organizational performance. Second, in the relationship between learning support environment characteristics and subjective organizational performance, it was confirmed that far transfer, among the sub-dimensions that constitute learning transfer, showed a partial mediating effect. The above research results are not significantly different from them for for-profit corporate organizations. In the end, it shows that the learning support environment in continuing education is important in addition to the educational content and ultimately affects organizational performance. As found in for-profit corporate organizations, this suggests that there is a need to reexamine the meaning and importance of continuing education in the social service field at the level of strategic human resource management.

Метa. Конкретизувати специфіку діалогової взаємодії з формування предметно-методичної компетентності вихователя закладу дошкільної освіти і вчителя початкових класів. Метoди. У дослідженні були використані аналіз і синтез для здійснення аналізу наукових розвідок, структурно-системний метод. Був розроблений опитувальник для з’ясування уявлень майбутніх вихователів і вчителів про значення діалогових технологій у професійній діяльності педагога, їх ефективність при організації педагогічного партнерства та для того, щоб встановити, наскільки студенти володіють мистецтвом вести діалог. Виснoвки. Діалогові технології в контексті формування предметно-методичної компетентності майбутніх вихователів ЗДО і вчителів початкових класів забезпечують такі можливості в освітньому процесі вишу: залучення майбутніх педагогів ЗДО і школи до активного оволодіння знаннями й застосування їх на практиці й чіткому усвідомленні, де, яким чином і з якою метою ці знання можуть бути застосовані; співробітництва при вирішенні різноманітних життєвих і професійних проблем, коли потрібно виявляти відповідні комунікативні уміння; всебічного спілкування з суб’єктами освітнього процесу; формування власної незалежної й аргументованої думки щодо виховання, освіти і навчання дітей дошкільного і молодшого шкільного віку. Таким чином, дослідження дало можливість констатувати, що застосування різних діалогових технологій, моделювання ситуацій співпереживання з іншими учасниками діалогу сприяє розвитку емпатії та є одним з механізмів регуляції міжособистісних конфліктів. Встановлено, що в процесі діалогового навчання практично всі студенти виявляються залученими до процесу пізнання, де мають можливість обмінюватися думками, судженнями в умовах комфортної творчо-емоційної атмосфери. Все це дозволяє майбутньому педагогу не лише отримувати нові знання, але й активізувати пізнавальну діяльність та сприяти розвитку педагогічного партнерства й співробітництва в процесі навчання.

Мета дослідження. Актуальність дослідження зумовлена потребами суспільства у безпеці дітей у всіх сферах, у тому числі й у ситуаціях, пов’язаних з грою. Статистика ряду країн показує, що більшість травм, пов'язаних з іграми дітей (результат падінь або забоїв від гойдалок, падінь з гірок і дитячих «скелелазів») не завдають серйозної шкоди здоров'ю. Водночас серйозні травми, що призводять до інвалідності та навіть смерті на дитячих майданчиках, трапляються вкрай рідко. Природне прагнення до ризику дозволить дітям дошкільного віку освоїти таку ігрову форму, в якій навіть у поролоновому коконі є ризик отримати травму.

Методи та матеріали. У процесі дослідження використовувалися такі методи: 1) теоретичний: аналіз, узагальнення психолого-педагогічної та методичної літератури, індукція, дедукція; (2) емпіричні: спостереження, бесіди; (3) педагогічний експеримент; (4) методи математичної статистики.

Результати. Залучення до ризикованої гри дає дітям можливість отримати доступ до ризику та керувати ситуаціями. Навіть дуже маленькі діти ризикують, що, у свою чергу, призводить до нового досвіду навчання, такого як ходьба, біг, скелелазіння та їзда на велосипеді. Кожна з цих видів діяльності пов’язана з деякими ризиками, але вони необхідні для розвитку дітей. Ризикована гра дозволяє дітям розширювати свої межі та навчатися життєвим навичкам.

Висновки. Дослідження показало, що ризик сприймається по-різному в залежності від реакції батьків на ризиковані ігри та поведінки дітей, коли вони в них беруть участь. Батьки зосереджувалися на навчанні безпеки та ризику, тоді як їхні діти поводилися так само, батьки приділяли увагу дисципліні, втрачаючи з уваги безпеку. Це свідчить про те, що батьки по-різному реагують на ризиковані ігри дошкільнят. Розроблено та апробовано систему роботи з апробації методики використання ігор (ігри з висотою, ігри зі швидкістю та ігри з перекиданнями) на свіжому повітрі як засобу подолання страху у дітей старшого дошкільного віку. Результати пілотного дослідження довели ефективність гри на ризик (довільна форма гри, яка пов’язана з благополуччям, привабливістю та фізичною активністю дітей дошкільного віку).

The problem of ethnic identity of representatives of other nationalities, its formation depends on changes taking place in society, social and cultural life. Studying this issue is of great scientific importance in multiethnic Kazakhstan. This is because the ethnic minority, like all citizens in the society, goes through the necessary stages of adaptation in the socio-cultural environment. This will bring about changes in social relations. Its factors, socio-cultural features should be studied in order not to turn the changes into conflicts. Because the phenomenon of diaspora is based on ethnic identity, which ensures the survival of the ethnic organism. The theoretical basis of the article is the works of foreign and domestic scientists who have studied various aspects of ethnic identity. This is because the study of ethnic identity is a complex and multidisciplinary field that includes various theoretical and methodological approaches. Scholars from anthropology, sociology, psychology, and other disciplines have contributed to our understanding of how individuals and groups identify with their ethnic heritage. The article is based on a number of theoretical findings that seek to understand how the study of ethnic identity processes shapes the ethnic identities of individuals and groups. These theories provide insight into the complex interplay of factors that influence the development and maintenance of ethnic identity. The study used a historical method to understand how the functions of ethnic identity have changed from ancient times to the present day. The documentary method of analysis was used to analyze published scientific articles. Ethnic identity has been found to be a complex and multidimensional construct that can be influenced by personal experiences, societal norms, historical factors, and broader cultural dynamics.
Амакудари философиялық-мәдени концепті және мемлекеттік қызмет
Authors: Ақын Б.Қ.
Published: January 2024

Мақалада амакудари философиялық-мәдени концептісінің практикасы қарастырылған. Амакударидегеніміз ― мемлекеттік органдар зейнеткерлікке  шыққан элиталық бюрократтарды жұмыспен қамтамасыз ету үшін өздері реттейтін жеке  фирмалармен байланысатын жағдайларды білдіреді. Жеке компаниялар мен ұйымдар жалдаған кезде бюрократтар өздерінің бұрынғы жұмыс берушілеріментиімді мемлекеттік келісімшарттар алу, реттеуші тексерулерден аулақ болу немесе жеңілдіктер алуүшін келісімге келуі мүмкін. Сонымен бірге реттеуші мен реттелетін субъекті арасындағы жасырын сөз байласу рәсімі туралы да айтылған. Амакудари немесе мемлекеттік қызметкерлерді қайта жұмысқа алу жапондық бюрократия мен саясатта елеулі  алаңдаушылық тудырды. Автор Жапониядағы амакударидің қалай пайда болғанын зерттейді және онымен байланысты жамандық пен ізгі қасиеттерді анықтайды. Соңында ол жүйені реформалау бойынша бірнеше ұсыныстар жасаған. Бұл кез келген кешенді реформалар жоспары мемлекеттік қызметте,  мемлекеттік кәсіпорындарда, тәуелсіз әкімшілік институттарда және саяси перспективада құқықтық өзгерістерге әкеліп соғуы керек екенін көрсетеді. Лауазымды тұлғалардың кәсіби этикасын белсендіру мен басқару, мемлекеттік кәсіпорындарда бақылау тетіктерін орнату, парламентте пікірталас пен сұрақ қоюды күшейту күшті құрал ретінде қарастырылады. Зейнеткерлікке шыққан шенеуніктерді қайта жұмысқа алу үшін көзделіп отырған кадрлық база дұрыс ұйымдастырылған және тиімді жұмыс істей алатындай болуы керек. Бұл зерттеу сонымен қатар бюрократтардың, саясаткерлердің және жеке сектордағы жұмыс берушілерді амакударидің кемшіліктерінің тұрақты шешімін табу үшін менталды сілкініске шақырады
