Published: December 2024

Employee performance, particularly in the customer care department, is crucial as all aspects of hospital care related to patient experience. Effective and responsive interactions can enhance patient satisfaction, build trust, and create a supportive environment that aids the healing process. Additionally, customer care employees serve as a bridge between patients and medical staff, ensuring that patients' needs and inquiries are addressed with distinction. Therefore, it is essential for hospital management to maintain employee performance by providing work motivation, discipline, and appropriate compensation. This study aims to analyze the partial and simultaneous effects of work motivation, work discipline, and compensation on improving employee performance in the Customer Care Department of Bandung Adventist Hospital. This descriptive quantitative research was conducted with 30 customer care employees at Bandung Adventist Hospital in early September 2024.

The method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive analysis method by conducting interviews, observations, and data documentation in collecting the necessary data. Interviews were conducted on 12 informants consisting of 5 informants from business owners in Jorongan Village, Probolinggo, 3 informants from employees, and 4 from consumers. The results of the study based on the Balanced Scorecard through 4 measurement perspectives show that the financial perspective has decreased in ROI, current ratio , and operating ratio. The growth and learning perspective lacks training for employees and does not utilize technology in the form of social media in its marketing process. The company's readiness in implementing BSC must pay attention to the implementation of a BSC-based performance measurement system by first evaluating the suitability of the characteristics and readiness of the company in implementing BSC. Things that must be prepared are evaluating performance so that it can reflect activities in the company in accordance with the vision, mission, strategy, and objectives that have been set.
J. J. Thomson’s Defense of abortion: A response to the tacit consent objection
Authors: Li Mohan
Published: December 2024

As abortion has been a debated moral issue, advocates and objectors held different opinions and stands. One of the most prominent defenses of abortion is Judith Jarvis Thomson’s violinist analogy, which has been challenged by the tacit consent objection. The latter states that a woman, by voluntarily engaging in sexual intercourse, tacitly gives the fetus the right to use her body. In responding to this objection, this paper highlights the ambiguous nature of tacit consent and underlines that such a consent should not be seen as unconditional or irrevocable. That is, as a process in continuous time, a consent given earlier may be revoked later. Overall, this paper defends and emphasizes a woman’s right to bodily autonomy and self-determination by allowing her to withdraw her consent even in the case of a consensual pregnancy.

Authors: Liana Nora , Rahmayanti  , Ade Ira Octa Femi  , Rifki Mulia  , Rusli  , Muhammad Hatta
Published: December 2024

Forensic autopsy plays a crucial role in proving the crime of premeditated murder. The autopsy process not only helps reveal the cause of death, but also provides physical evidence that can link the suspect to the crime. In a legal context, autopsy results are an important element in investigations and trials, providing a strong basis for the public prosecutor to prove the perpetrator's intentions and modus operandi. In Indonesia, the Health Law, especially Law Number 17 of 2023, regulates the importance of health services related to death. In this case, a forensic autopsy is regulated to ensure that the process of identification and analysis of death is carried out professionally and in accordance with medical ethics. Apart from that, this law also emphasizes collaboration between medical personnel and law enforcement officers in handling suspicious death cases. Thus, a forensic autopsy not only functions as a tool of evidence in court, but also as a form of moral and legal responsibility in handling premeditated murder cases, ensuring that every unnatural death is handled with thoroughness and integrity.  Forensic autopsy has a crucial role in proving the crime of premeditated murder. This research aims to analyze the contribution of forensic autopsies in the investigation and evidence process in court. The method used is document analysis and case studies, by collecting data from autopsy reports, court decisions, and related legal documents, including the Health Law which regulates autopsy procedures and the use of the results in criminal cases. The research results show that a forensic autopsy not only identifies the cause of death, but also provides important evidence regarding the time of death, the method of murder, and the possible involvement of other parties. These findings support the importance of integrating autopsy results in the legal process, while also emphasizing the need for compliance with the Health Law which guarantees the ethical and professional implementation of autopsies. In conclusion, forensic autopsy is a vital tool in the investigation of premeditated murder cases, providing a strong scientific basis for the judicial process and law enforcement.

Steps of Design and Implementation of a Diabetes Classification System Using Decision Tree and Bayesian Theory
Authors: Saleh Hadeel M
Published: December 2024

An effective tool for the early identification and diagnosis of diabetes mellitus is intended to be developed through the design and implementation of a diabetes categorization system utilizing decision trees and Bayesian theory. To increase classification accuracy and dependability, this system integrates two potent machine learning techniques: Bayesian classifiers and decision trees. While Bayesian theory offers a probabilistic framework that improves decision-making under uncertainty, decision trees provide an understandable way to represent decision-making based on input attributes. The system starts with data preprocessing, which includes feature selection, normalization, and handling missing values. Next, decision tree methods like ID3 or C4.5 are applied to create classification models based on patient attributes. The categorization is then further refined by incorporating prior knowledge and uncertainty using Bayesian techniques, especially Naive Bayes.. Performance parameters like accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score are assessed while testing the system using publically accessible diabetic datasets. The results show that the hybrid model, which combines Bayesian theory with decision trees, provides a reliable solution for diabetes categorization and offers a promising way for doctors to more accurately diagnose diabetes. Furthermore, real-time data can be added to the system to enable ongoing observation and forecasting.
Att kommunicera stöd för språklig mångfald: Analys av lokala planer för småbarnspedagogik i tolv tvåspråkiga kommuner

Published: December 2024

Children's diverse linguistic backgrounds in Finnish early childhood education and care (ECEC) are acknowledged in the National core curriculum for ECEC. It states that multilingual children are supported in their languages, identities, general well-being, and self-esteem. In addition, the staff need to support and cooperate with multilingual families in matters related to multilingualism and learning. ECEC providers also create and follow a local curriculum, which is based on the national curriculum, and which considers local features and other local plans and curricula. In this study we examine intertextuality in local curricula for ECEC in twelve bilingual municipalities and specifically a section on multilingualism in languages other than Finnish and Swedish. We apply content analysis to examine similarities and differences in the local curricula on issues related to support for multilingual children and whether the rights of these children are realised on equal terms in the municipalities. The results show that issues related to language are discussed in each document. However, variation in authorities’ ways to handle the section on multilingualism becomes visible when the curricula are compared between the municipalities, between the language versions of the curricula and in the formulations. We argue the importance of following similar guidelines in municipalities even if local specifications are highlighted, to ensure equal possibilities for all multilingual children in ECEC.
Hi ChatGPT, Translate This Text into Easy Language: Is the New Easy Language Translator a Machine?
Authors: Maaß Christiane
Published: December 2024

We are surrounded by dysfunctional texts that are burdened with various communication barriers: They are not where we are looking for them, they are written in fonts that are too small, they are completely incomprehensible or unacceptable. Such texts make it difficult for us to act based on them and they need editing. Removing communication barriers is a form of translation. Accessible communication recognises and accommodates the diversity of communication partners. This diversity can be the result of differing interests and expertise in certain areas, differing educational opportunities, stressful life events such as flight or migration, but also disability. In recent years, accessible communication has become a major issue in Europe and around the world: Approaches include Easy Language, Plain Language, subtitling for the hearing impaired, text-to-speech interpreting, sign language interpreting, and audio description for the blind. An expert field has emerged here: It encompasses a labour market, study programmes, and scientific research. Recently, a new player has been added: artificial intelligence. Machine translation – between different languages, but also intralingually between different levels of comprehensibility – has recently improved enormously in quality. What does it entail that machine translation has become part of the field of accessible communication? Are human translators still necessary and what is their role? Who can use machine translation and for what? How is the field of accessible communication changing as a result? In this invited plenary talk of the XLIV VAKKI Symposium, held on 8-9 February 2024 at the University of Vaasa, I focus on Easy Language translation and try to find at least a preliminary answer to this question: Is the new Easy Language translator a machine?

The Prevalence of Stroke, Hypertension and Diabetes in Jackson Heart Study Cohort from 2000-2013: A Comparative Analysis
Authors:   Cardiovascular Health Disparities and Stroke Research Laboratory and Department of Biology, Jackson State University, Jackson, MS 39217, USA, Taylor Tammi
Published: December 2024

Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death and is a type of cardiovascular
disease (CVD) that greatly affects the African American community.
Stroke, hypertension, atherosclerosis, heart disease, and many
others fall in the category of CVD. Stroke is also the leading cause
of disability which leads in being one of the biggest expenditures in
healthcare. Preventative methods for stroke are limited to individual
management based on factors such as, genetics, family history, high
blood pressure, smoking, etc. Effective management of these issues
can ensure a decent quality of life for those who suffer from such
illnesses. We hypothesize that male patients in the Jackson Heart
Study cohort will show a significant increase in stroke between the
ages of 35-50 as compared to women which would be like current
statistics. With analyzed datasets collected from the Jackson Heart
Study, we did a comparative analysis of men to women by identifying
the percentages of people in the heart study who had strokes and risk
factors for stroke. The two risk factors we analyzed were diabetes and
hypertension. We used Pearson Correlation and Independent t test,
to identify p values.

En høj, en lav? En stigning, et fald?
Authors: Zerakitsky Vies Christophe , Pharao Nicolai
Published: December 2024

Det primære træk, der auditivt adskiller danske regiolekter fra hinanden, er intonation, nærmere bestemt trykgruppemønstret. Næstvedsk intonation er særlig interessant, da trykgruppemønstret akustisk minder meget om københavnsk, idet begge starter med et kort fald efterfulgt af en stigning, og begge slutter på et fald. Dog lyder de to ganske forskellige, sandsynligvis fordi det initiale fald er dybere i københavnsk, mens det finale fald sætter ind tidligere og er stejlere i næstvedsk. I nyere optagelser fra Næstved lyder nogle af talerne umiddelbart københavnske. En sådan uoverensstemmelse kunne tyde på en igangværende sprogforandring. Med henblik på at undersøge dette udførte vi akustiske analyser af optagelser fra Næstved i 1980’erne og i 00’erne. Formålet var at undersøge, om man kan observere en sprogforandring i Næstved i løbet af de tre generationer, der er repræsenteret i korpusset. Vi sammenlignede tre generationer i de nyeste optagelser, og derudover lavede vi en real time-undersøgelse af de ældste talere, hvor vi sammenlignede deres gamle optagelse med den nye. Vores resultater indikerer, at trykgruppemønstret har bevæget sig mere i retning af det københavnske mønster, men vi kan ikke vise, at de er sammenfaldende. Der er en tydelig tendens til forandringer på tværs af de tre generationer, men der er også stor interindividuel variation, så særligt real time-forandringerne må siges at være træk ved individer og ikke ved de forskellige grupper. Dette kan forklare, hvorfor nogle talere fra Næstved lyder københavnske, mens andre ikke gør.

Authors: Bekker Michiel Christiaan , Steenkamp Danielle
Published: December 2024

Project portfolio management (PPM) has become a popular practice among organisations in effectively driving a collection of projects and/or programmes to align with and meet their strategic objectives. PPM is still considered a new concept, and is in the early days of its implementation. Even the best-performing organisations are still not excelling in executing best practices in PPM. This research reviews the literature on the robustness of portfolio governance controls. A semi-structured technique entailing a questionnaire and qualitative interviews to access best practices was used with a population of PPM professionals from various industries. The paper reviews the impact of higher levels of compliance on a model and/or framework in more mature environments in order to prevent or minimise the influence of external elements such as executive veto on PPM practices.

Po drugie, omówiono obszary największych ryzyk antymonopolowych i jednoczesnych możliwości potencjalnych okoliczności, w których warto podejmować trud pogłębionej analizy zawierania porozumień sprzedażowych.

W niniejszym artykule przedstawione zostaną różne koncepcje regulacji, zaprezentowane w ramach nurtu neoinstytucjonalonej ekonomii. Cel artykułu stanowi próba odpowiedzi na pytanie, dlaczego oraz w jaki sposób współczesna teoria regulacji może i powinna uwzględniać charakterystykę instytucji uczestniczących w procesie tworzeniu i stosowaniu prawa. Analiza taka może stanowić punkt wyjścia dla zarysowania integralnego modelu regulacji i deregulacji, uwzględniającego komplementarny charakter władzy ustawodawczej, wykonawczej oraz sądowniczej.

Published: December 2024

Przedmiotem opracowania jest przedstawienie procedury zmiany sprzedawcy energii elektrycznej w Polsce. Od 2007 roku obserwowany jest stały wzrost liczby zmian sprzedawcy energii elektrycznej, co jest zarówno szansą, jak i zagrożeniem dla konsumentów. Dlatego w niniejszym opracowaniu przedstawione zostaną praktyki sprzedawców energii elektrycznej, które naruszają zbiorowe interesy konsumentów. Druga cześć opracowania przedstawia rozwiązania zawarte w ogólnym rozporządzeniu o ochronie danych (RODO) w kontekście zawarcia i wykonywania umowy sprzedaży energii elektrycznej. Ponadto przedstawione zostanie w jaki sposób unijne rozporządzenie może się przyczynić do zwiększenia poziomu ochrony odbiorców energii. W podsumowaniu zostanie wskazane, co stanowi największe zagrożenie w przypadku zmiany sprzedawcy energii elektrycznej oraz jakie działania można podjąć w celu jego ograniczenia.

Artykuł ma na celu przybliżenie całokształtu obowiązków podatkowych związanych z funkcjonowanie podmiotów wytwarzających energię elektryczną z wiatru. Ramy prawne funkcjonowania elektrowni wiatrowych w Polsce na przestrzeni lat znacząco ewoluowały i były wielokrotnie zmieniane, co jest szczególnie widoczne właśnie na gruncie przepisów prawa podatkowego. Pozyskiwanie energii elektrycznej z wiatru jest obecnie jedną z wiodących metod wykorzystania odnawialnych źródeł energii. W polskim systemie prawnym tego rodzaju działalność jest traktowana w sposób szczególny. Wiążę się z tym mnogość obowiązków o charakterze podatkowym, których podmiotami są jednostki prowadzące elektrownie wiatrowe.

Elektroenergetyka przez wiele lat rozwijała się jako scentralizowany system, w którym duże elektrownie poprzez sieci przesyłowe najwyższych napięć i sieci dystrybucyjne średnich i niskich napięć dostarczały energię elektryczną do odbiorców końcowych. Pojawienie się nowych technologii, a szczególnie odnawialnych źródeł energii, aktywizacja odbiorców, którzy nie tylko samodzielnie mogą kształtować zapotrzebowanie, lecz także brać czynny udział w produkcji energii elektrycznej zmienia diametralnie zasady funkcjonowania systemu elektroenergetycznego. Energetyka rozproszona poprzez tworzenie regionalnych obszarów bilansowania staje się czynnym elementem działania systemu elektroenergetycznego, poprawiając znacznie bezpieczeństwo energetyczne. Artykuł przedstawia obecne zasady działania systemu elektroenergetycznego oraz wskazuje nadchodzące zmiany.
Wniosek o certyfikację jednostki rynku mocy do aukcji głównej i aukcji dodatkowych jako element prawidłowości rynku mocy

Published: December 2024

Przedmiotem niniejszego opracowania jest wniosek o certyfikację jednostki rynku mocy do aukcji głównej i aukcji dodatkowych, o którym mowa w ustawie o rynku mocy. W pierwszej kolejności omówiono zakres podmiotowy wniosku, a następnie przedstawiono zakres przedmiotowy. W ramach tej części pracy dokonano analizy natury prawnej „Regulaminu Rynku Mocy” i jego miejsca w hierarchii aktów prawnych, a także zaprezentowano poszczególne elementy treści wniosku o certyfikację (zawartość). Ponadto szczególną uwagę poświecono niezależnej ekspertyzie wymaganej do wniosku oraz kryteriom niezależności ją sporządzającego. W ostatnich częściach opracowania wskazano na procedurę uzupełniania braków formalnych oraz skutki prawne, jakie wywołuje złożony wniosek dla przedsiębiorstwa energetycznego. Całość zamykają uwagi końcowe, w których dokonano podsumowania poczynionych rozważań oraz udzielono odpowiedzi na postawione pytania.
Nowe instrumenty wsparcia wytwarzania energii elektrycznej oparte na stałej cenie zakupu – zagadnienia wybrane
Authors:   Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu: Katedra Publicznego Prawa Gospodarczego, Trupkiewicz Marcin
Published: December 2024

Przeprowadzona w niniejszej pracy analiza tekstu prawnego pozwala stwierdzić, że ustawodawca wprowadza do systemu prawnego nowe instrumenty wspierające rozwój odnawialnych źródeł energii. Instrumenty te kierowane są wyłącznie do podmiotów prowadzących działalność gospodarczą w zakresie wytwarzania energii elektrycznej z określonych technologii OZE (biogaz rolniczy, biogaz składowiskowy, biogaz z oczyszczalni ścieków, biogaz inny oraz hydroenergia). Istotą tych instrumentów jest oparcie ich na wykorzystaniu stałej ceny zakupu, która tworzy dwa niezależne oraz rozłączne mechanizmy umożliwiające przekazywanie pomocy publicznej na wytwarzanie energii elektrycznej z OZE. Pierwszy z nich polega na wykorzystaniu stałej ceny zakupu jako ceny gwarantowanej (feed-in tariff), która wypłacana jest bezpośrednio przez sprzedawcę zobowiązanego na podstawie odpowiedniej umowy sprzedaży energii elektrycznej wytwarzanej z instalacji OZE. Umowa ta w pakiecie uwzględnia również bilansowanie handlowe oraz związane z tym koszty. Drugi instrument zakłada sprzedaż energii na rynku oraz dodatkowe wyrównanie wytwórcy różnicy między średnimi cenami energii elektrycznej a poziomem stałej ceny zakupu w postaci prawa do pokrycia ujemnego salda. W tym kontekście poziom stałej ceny zakupu stanowi podstawę obliczenia gwarantowanej premii do ceny rynkowej (feed-in premium) energii elektrycznej przekazywanej wytwórcy jako wsparcie dla wytwarzania energii elektrycznej z OZE. Możliwość stosowania tych instrumentów poprzedzona jest odpowiednim postępowaniem toczącym się przed Prezesem Urzędu Regulacji Energetyki, a także może być ograniczona przez odpowiednie przepisy wykonawcze wydane przez Radę Ministrów, która prowadzi politykę państwa w zakresie OZE oraz realizacje wiążące Polskę cele polityki klimatyczno-energetycznej UE w zakresie wykorzystania OZE w sektorze elektroenergetycznym.
