Dirung Koram Village is part of Kapuas Regency, located in Kapuas Hulu District, Central Kalimantan. Dirung Koram was previously a hamlet part of the Tangirang village area. However, due to development and population growth, Dirung Koram was formed. Judging from the geographical conditions, Dirung Koram village is a village that can be said to have been left behind in several aspects, such as in terms of information technology so that important news from outside can not be obtained so quickly by the community, both from newspapers, television, and the internet. As a result, people have very little information, especially about the Covid-19 disease. Moreover, the village's location is quite far from other villages, and also from the socio-economic situation this village is still classified as very low which has an impact on the health of children. So, efforts were made to prevent the spread of Covid-19 by socializing the application of health protocols, stunting socialization, the Karhutla program (Forest and Land Fires), and installing banners to adopt new habits in Dirung Koram village. Through this method, it is hoped that the public can understand and be critical of the problems that are currently happening.

THE ECONOMIC PAMPHLETEER: Technology: Good, bad, or neutral?
Authors: Ikerd John
Published: January 2022

Is technology good, bad, or neutral? The pre­vailing sentiment seems to be that technology is neither good nor bad, but is simply a tool that can be used for either. However, once a technology has been developed, its net effects will be one or the other. The consequences will depend on the inten­tion, or perhaps inattention, with which a technol­ogy is developed and applied. The Encyclopedia Britannica (n.d.) defines technology as “the application of scientific knowledge to the practical aims of human life” (para. 1). The basic purpose of technology, whether mechanical, biological, or digital, is to allow people do things easier, faster, or better. Whether a technology is good, bad, or neutral depends on whose intentions or aims are met and who suffers any unintended consequences. The net effects of a technology, considering both good and bad, is determined not only by whether it contributes to the practical aims of some, but whether it contributes to the betterment of society or life in general.
A Smart Audit Teaching Case Using CAATs for Medicare
Authors: Shi-Ming Huang Shi-Ming Huang , Shi-Ming Huang heng-HanTsai
Published: January 2022

Risk is inherent at all levels of hospital management such as determining healthcare service priorities, purchasing new medical equipment, patient safety, clinical governance, etc. The effectiveness of an audit process in reducing risk is a critical success factor in hospital management. Since hospital data is becoming increasingly larger, the data may be too large for auditors to handle. Consequently, they need to learn a new skill and knowledge to face the digital transformation era. The era of intelligent audit technology has arrived. In the future, auditors can use big data analysis and technology to get the assistance of advanced audit analysis tools. This paper introduces a smart audit case using diagnosis-related group (DRG) data. It explains how to use computer-assisted audit techniques (CAATs) to develop the predictions of DRGs as a starting point, triggering students to analyze the editing of DRG codes in depth by using a machine-learning model to pre-audit the accuracy of inpatient DRGs’ drop point in Health Insurance Declaration forms.

 
Facilitating midwifery clinical skill development online: A case study
Authors: Carter Amanda G , McDonald-Smith Karen , Eustace Jennifer
Published: January 2022

The 2020 Year of the Nurse and Midwife has presented many challenges following the World Health Organisation declaring a world pandemic due to COVID-19 on 11th March 2020. One of these challenges relates to the preparation of undergraduate nurses and midwives for a largely clinically based profession within a tertiary setting. Comprehensive educational preparation of midwives for registration and practice is at the core of quality midwifery care leading to optimisation of outcomes for women and their babies. To ensure graduate midwives are clinically competent, extensive professional placement is complimented by immersive simulation sessions focussing on; midwifery practice, skill, and clinical decision-making development in laboratory sessions. Due to social distancing restrictions imposed by the Australian Government all face-to-face sessions within a Queensland university were moved online between late March and July 2020. This presented opportunities to redesign teaching practices and implement innovations to continue to provide a high quality, award winning Bachelor of Midwifery Program. This paper will present a case study of an innovative strategy utilised within a Blackboard environment to facilitate skills development of two core critical midwifery skills, management of shoulder dystocia and estimation of postpartum blood loss.
Inter-Set Voluntary Hyperventilation-Aided Recovery Does Not Improve Performance of Bench Press and Squat in Recreationally Trained Individuals
Authors: Buxton Jeff , Prins Philip , Ryan Edward , Jones Dalton , Thrasher Isaac , Faulkner Madison , Robertson Elaine , Welton Gary , Ault Dana
Published: January 2022

Introduction: To examine the effects of voluntary hyperventilation (VH) between sets of bench press (BP) and squat (SQ) at 70 and 90% 1RM on repetitions to failure, power, bar velocity, blood lactate, session RPE (sRPE), and muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2).
Methods: Fifteen recreationally trained (2.92 ± 2.18 yrs. of resistance training experience) college-aged males (20.27 ± 1.39 yrs., 182.40 ± 7.42 cm, 82.23 ± 10.84 kg) performed 3 sets of BP and SQ to failure at 70 and 90% 1RM on separate days with normal breathing (CON) or 30 sec of VH during inter-set rest periods.
Results: There were no significant differences between conditions for repetitions, power, velocity and sRPE (p’s > 0.05) at either intensity. VH resulted in a slight attenuation of blood lactate accumulation between sets 2 and 3 of SQ (p = 0.037). There was a significant condition and intensity interaction for SmO2 of the pectoralis (p = 0.034) with VH producing higher SmO2 at 90% 1RM and lower SmO2 at 70% 1RM than the CON.
Conclusions: Voluntary hyperventilation did not produce an ergogenic effect in recreationally trained individuals which, when considering current evidence, suggests other factors including training experience, may influence the effectiveness of VH.

El impacto de la reforma de la segunda vuelta: Perú en perspectiva comparada
Authors: McClintock Cynthia
Published: January 2022

Si bien ninguna regla electoral es una panacea, la introducción de la segunda vuelta fue una reforma exitosa en Perú y en América Latina en general. Las y los candidatos presidenciales fueron atraídos hacia el centro político y, con la mayoría de los votos, las y los presidentes rara vez sufrieron déficits de legitimidad. Sin embargo, la segunda vuelta también reduce las barreras de entrada y permite un mayor número de partidos. Si bien la reducción de las barreras de entrada ayudó a incorporar a la izquierda a la arena electoral en el periodo posterior a la Guerra Fría, un número grande de partidos resulta problemático para el sistema democrático. Aunque el desafío de la construcción de partidos es gigantesco, es probable que varias reformas adicionales a las reglas electorales sean útiles en el esfuerzo por construir partidos políticos receptivos en Perú y en otras partes de América Latina.
América Latina erupciona: Perú gira al populismo
Authors: Muñoz Paula
Published: January 2022

En las elecciones presidenciales de Perú de 2021, votantes insatisfechos y descontentos apoyaron al outsider antisistema Pedro Castillo y a Keiko Fujimori. Las elecciones de 2021 reflejan la persistencia de tendencias que durante mucho tiempo han caracterizado al sistema político de Perú, sobre todo la extrema debilidad de los partidos políticos del país. A estas tendencias se sumó una crisis compleja de dimensiones políticas, económicas y de salud pública, aumentando aún más el descontento de la ciudadanía, la fragmentación política y la prominencia de las brechas regionales y socioeconómicas preexistentes. Todo esto llevó a las y los votantes a considerar opciones más radicales en las urnas; a esto le siguió una segunda vuelta entre candidaturas de dudosas credenciales democráticas que polarizó profundamente a la sociedad. En medio de la polarización y las acusaciones infundadas de fraude por parte del partido Fuerza Popular de Keiko Fujimori, las perspectivas para la democracia en Perú parecen sombrías.
ATTRIBUTION AND COMMUNICATION AS THE MOST IMPORTANT PSYCHO-PEDAGOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF A PERSON'S COGNITIVE ACTIVITY

Published: January 2022

Рассматривается взаимосвязь атрибуции и общения как важнейших психолого-педагогических основ познавательной активности личности. Обязательными условиями развития познавательной активности личности являются ее инициативность, умение находить в короткие сроки необходимую информацию для решения образовательных задач. Учитывая коллективный характер учебно-воспитательного процесса, особая роль в решении проблем познавательной активности отводится эффективной коммуникации и социальной перцепции. Атрибуция как процесс приписывания причин поведения окружающим и общение как взаимодействие и диалог связаны одним общим знаменателем как активность и мотивация личности. Сравнительный анализ исследований проблем атрибуции и общения позволил определить их следующие закономерности, а именно: зависимость атрибуции и общения от психолого-педагогических характеристик личности и её потребности в объяснении социального взаимодействия; соотнесение внешних и внутренних факторов атрибуции с психической и социально-ориентированной природой общения; реализация продуктивного общения через оптимальную атрибуцию. Эффективная реализация взаимосвязи и взаимообусловенности атрибуции и общения как психолого-педагогических основ познавательной активности позволяет запустить механизм самообучения, самовоспитания и саморазвития личности.

The paper examines the relationship between attribution and communication as the most important psycho-pedagogical foundations of cognitive activity of a person. Mandatory conditions for the development of cognitive activity of a person are initiative, the ability to find the necessary information in a short time to solve educational problems. Given the collective nature of the educational process, effective communication and social perception play a special role in solving the problems of cognitive activity. Attribution as the process of attributing the causes of behavior to others and communication as interaction and dialogue are connected by one common denominator as activity and motivation of the individual. A comparative analysis of research on the problems of attribution and communication allowed us to determine the following patterns, namely: the dependence of attribution and communication on the psycho-pedagogical characteristics of a person and need of a person to explain social interaction; correlation of external and internal attribution factors with the mental and socially-oriented nature of communication; implementation of productive communication through optimal attribution. Effective implementation of the relationship and interdependence of attribution and communication as the psycho-pedagogical foundations of cognitive activity makes it possible to launch the mechanism of self-learning, self-education and self-development of the individual.

El Sentido De La Práctica Profesional En La Formación Del Docente De Educación Intercultural Bilingüe
Authors: Muñoz Manuel Abelardo Cárdenas
Published: January 2022

Pensar el lugar de la práctica preprofesional en la formación de docentes de educación intercultural bilingüe nos obliga como actores del proceso de ese encuentro entre sujetos sociales a explicitar los intereses de cada quién. Lugar que es territorio, espacio geográfico, pero también “sitio y momento” para vivenciar un proceso formativo decisivo en el proceso mayor de configurarnos como profesionales de la educación y ciudadanos. En tal sentido, el objetivo de la presente reflexión es profundizar en los efectos que las diversas ideas y prejuicios de los diferentes actores pueden ejercer en el accionar de la práctica profesional de los estudiantes, en especial de la carrera de educación. Pensando en ello, desde una mirada reflexiva de la experiencia de formar docentes se propone una mirada que enfatiza en la necesidad de comprender la complejidad de procesos que moviliza la práctica preprofesional. Más aún, cuando motivados por las diferencias generacionales, culturales y otras se requiere la aplicación en el momento mismo de la practica de una metodología que facilite la construcción de procesos de dialogo de saberes entre sujetos interculturales. Como docente de Universidades que formamos en Educación Intercultural Bilingüe podemos concluir a manera de aprendizajes de nuestra participación en esa modalidad que es altamente relevante: Desarrollar un accionar docente conjunto, entre colegas de un mismo ciclo de estudios y/o de una especialidad, nos permitirá lograr unificar esfuerzos, obteniendo resultados más adecuados y favorables para los propios estudiantes y nuestro propio quehacer andragógico. Podemos darle concreción a un modelo educativo emancipador cuando ponemos en acción metodologías que favorecen y promueven el aprendizaje activo, disponiéndonos a crear espacios en que las y los estudiantes tengan una viva presencia y participación en sus procesos de aprendizaje, para ello debemos asumirlos como sujetos de derechos y saberes. Sistematizar cada una de las experiencias formativas que den cuenta de la construcción de diálogos de saberes, para afirmar prácticas formativas interculturales, que respetan y empoderan diversidad de racionalidades en la formación docente. Construir una comunidad de aprendizaje con nuestros/as estudiantes y actores receptores que acompañe activamente los aprendizajes interculturales de cada uno de los/as estudiantes. Generar espacios para el empoderamiento de saberes de los pueblos originarios como otras formas de compresión de la realidad, motivando diálogos interculturales que enriquezcan la convivencia entre diversos. Pensar, planificar, ejecutar y evaluar la práctica profesional debe siempre conllevar un proceso de dialogo creativo, frecuente y permanente que permita explicitar, prestar atención y encausar en lo posible los intereses de todas y todos, las y los actores que intervienen en el proceso. Para ello se requieren voluntad, disposición y reconocimiento del otro como un sujeto integral.

GLI ITALIANISMI ENOGASTRONOMICI RECENTI NELLA LINGUA INGLESE: UN’ANALISI SUI CORPORA
Authors: Della Pietra Daniele
Published: January 2022

La lingua italiana ha sempre giocato un ruolo chiave nel panorama linguistico europeo ed extraeuropeo, influenzando significativamente la maggior parte delle lingue romanze e alcune lingue germaniche come l'inglese e il tedesco. A dimostrazione di ciò, basti pensare al fenomeno – rafforzato dalla globalizzazione – degli italianismi presenti in diverse lingue. Questo articolo si propone di individuare e indagare i lessemi di origine italiana che, negli ultimi anni, si sono infiltrati nella lingua inglese, la lingua franca per eccellenza, soprattutto per quanto riguarda l’enogastronomia. A tal fine, si è utilizzato come punto di partenza l’Oxford English Dictionary e come punto di riferimento il Dizionario di italianismi in francese, inglese, tedesco (DIFIT), un’opera lessicografica che comprende oltre 5.000 parole italiane di uso comune nelle lingue francese, inglese e tedesca. Ai fini della ricerca si sono analizzati tre diversi corpora: enTenTen 15, disponibile all’interno del software Sketch Engine e due corpora ottenuti dal New York Times Cooking e dal BBC Good Food, le sezioni culinarie del quotidiano americano New York Times e dell’emittente pubblica britannica BBC, che permettono di stimare l’effettiva presenza di italianismi nell'inglese americano, utilizzando l’inglese britannico come benchmark.

 

Recent food and wine italianisms in the English language: a corpus analysis

The Italian language has always played a key role in the European and extra-European linguistic scene, significantly influencing most Romance languages as well as some Germanic languages such as English and German. As an illustration of this, one need only think of the phenomenon – reinforced by globalization – of Italianisms occurring in several languages.This scientific article aims to identify and investigate the lexemes of Italian origin that, in the last few years, have infiltrated the English language, the lingua franca par excellence, especially with regard to food and wine. To this end, the Oxford English Dictionary was used as a starting point and the Dizionario di italianismi in francese, inglese, tedesco (DIFIT), an lexicographic work that includes over 5,000 Italian words commonly used in the French, English and German languages as a benchmark. Three different corpora were analyzed for research purposes: enTenTen 15, available within in software Sketch Engine and two corpora obtained from The New York Times Cooking and the BBC Good Food, the culinary sections of the American daily newspaper The New York Times and British public service broadcaster BBC, to estimate the presence of italianisms in American English, using British English as a benchmark.
ANALISI COMPARATA DEI COSTRUTTI CONCETTUALI [AND + A] E [AND + IN] IN BASE AD ESEMPI SCELTI DELLA LINGUA ITALIANA, SPAGNOLA E FRANCESE: UNO STUDIO COGNITIVO
Authors: Wylecioł Ryszard
Published: January 2022

Lo scopo dell’articolo è una breve analisi cognitiva degli eventi di parola italiani realizzanti un costrutto concettuale [TR + AND + PREP + LM], che a livello superficiale consiste nell’infinito italiano andare seguito da un complemento introdotto da una delle preposizioni italiane a oppure in. Durante la ricerca, diversi modi in cui la scena menzionata si costruisce vengono comparati con esempi analoghi, la cui fonte risiede in altre due lingue romanze, ossia lo spagnolo ed il francese. Riteniamo che questo tipo d’analisi permetta di tracciare sia similitudini che discrepanze nella concettualizzazione della realtà extralinguistica fra gli utenti dei tre sistemi linguistici, che sono apparentemente considerati molto simili. L’analisi viene compiuta sulla base della grammatica cognitiva di R. Langacker, con un focus particolare sulla relazione traiettore-landmark, e sulla teoria della metafora concettuale di M. Johnson e G. Lakoff.

 

Comparative analysis of conceptual constructs [and + a] and [and + in] based on selected examples from Italian, Spanish and French: a cognitive study

The article is a brief cognitive analysis of Italian word events realizing a conceptual construct [TR + AND + PREP + LM], which at the surface level consists of the Italian infinitive andare followed by a complement introduced by one of the Italian prepositions a or in. During the research, different ways in which the mentioned scene is constructed are compared with similar examples whose source is in two other Romance languages, namely Spanish and French. This type of analysis allows to trace both similarities and discrepancies in the conceptualization of extralinguistic reality among users of the three language systems, which are apparently considered very similar. The analysis was performed on the basis of R. Langacker’s cognitive grammar with a particular focus on the trajector-landmark relationship, and M. Johnson and G. Lakoff’s theory of conceptual metaphor.
UTILIZZARE RISORSE GRAMMATICALI DELL’ITALIANO PER RIDURRE L’ANSIA LINGUISTICA: RIFLESSIONI E PROPOSTE OPERATIVE
Authors: Amorati Riccardo
Published: January 2022

Nonostante la notevole influenza dei fattori affettivi sull’apprendimento linguistico (motivazione, benessere, senso di ansia), la ricerca glottodidattica in Italia non ha dato largo spazio alla ricerca sull’ansia linguistica. Il seguente contributo si occupa di fornire una panoramica della letteratura sul tema, delineandole le cause e gli effetti. Poiché esistono pochi studi che riflettono in maniera critica sulle pratiche e azioni in classe che possono ridurre gli effetti di questo fenomeno, questo contributo intende inoltre presentare una proposta operativa relativa all’implementazione di attività nella classe di italiano L2 per minimizzarne gli effetti. Viene suggerito, in particolare, che alcune risorse linguistiche dell’italiano si prestino alla raccolta di «informazioni emotive» sui nostri apprendenti e che alcuni argomenti grammaticali possano essere utilizzati per formulare regole e strategie su come affrontare l’ansia linguistica, con l’obiettivo di sensibilizzare gli studenti al fenomeno e di sostituire emozioni negative con emozioni positive.

 

Using Italian grammatical resources to reduce linguistic anxiety: reflections and pratical proposals

Despite the considerable influence of affective factors on language learning (motivation, well-being, sense of anxiety), glottodidactic research in Italy has not given much space to research on language anxiety. The paper provides an overview of the literature on the topic, outlining its causes and effects. Since there are few studies that critically reflect on classroom practices and actions that can reduce the effects of this phenomenon, this study also intends to present a practical proposal regarding the implementation of activities in the Italian L2 classroom to minimize its effects. It is suggested, in particular, that some linguistic resources of Italian lend themselves to collecting "emotional information" about our learners and some grammatical topics can be used to formulate rules and strategies for how to deal with language anxiety, with the aim to raise student awareness of the phenomenon and to replace negative emotions with positive ones.

By planning a series of formative assessments as part of the didactic program from the beginning of the learning process and proposing appropriate recovery plans afterwards, the action research aimed to better monitor of the progress of the study of Italian LS while offering students an opportunity to reflect on the results of their learning path and take more responsibility in their study.
Do New Hospital Price Transparency Regulations Reflect Value in Arthroplasty?
Authors: D'Amore Taylor , Goh Graham S. , Courtney P. Maxwell , Klein Gregg R.
Published: January 2022

Introduction:

In an attempt to improve price transparency, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) now requires hospitals to post clear, accessible pricing data for common procedures. We aimed to determine how many top orthopaedic hospitals are compliant with the new regulation and whether there was any correlation between hospital charges and outcomes after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Methods:

The hospital websites of the top 101 orthopaedic hospitals per the US News & World Report 2020-2021 were explored to assess compliance with the price transparency requirement. We recorded the gross inpatient charge, cash price, payer-specific negotiated charge, and deidentified maximum and minimum payer rates for THA and TKA. Outcome metrics included hospital ranking and Medicare risk-adjusted arthroplasty readmission and complication rates.

Results:

Although 94 hospitals (93%) posted some shoppable service information as required by CMS, only 21 hospitals (20%) were fully compliant. The mean inpatient charge for THA and TKA was $72,111 (range, $14,716 to $195,264), cash price was $39,027 (range, $2,920 to $110,858), and minimum and maximum payer rates were $16,140 and $57,949, respectively. Better hospital ranking was weakly correlated with higher charges (coefficient 0.223; P = 0.049). No correlation between charges and complications (P = 0.266) or readmissions (P = 0.735) was observed.

Conclusion:

Few hospitals are fully compliant with the new CMS price transparency regulations. We found a wide range of hospital charges for THA and TKA without correlation with complications or readmissions. Although efforts by CMS to increase price transparency should be welcomed, increased costs should be justified by quality in the era of value-based care.
The ‘Golden Power’ on Foreign Investments in EU Law in the Light of Covid Crisis
Authors: Sabatino Gianmatteo
Published: January 2022

The paper focuses on the evolution of the legal regime concerning Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs) both in the EU law and in national law, with special regard for Italy, where special powers on FDIs were recently activated to block Chinese investments. The paper, in the first place, sketches a brief overview on the evolution of such special powers in the last two decades within the EU; in the second place, it assesses the current legal regime at EU level in light of the changes brought by the Covid crisis. At the same time, the paper develops a comparative analysis between the European regime on FDIs and the Chinese one, in order to outline the main legal issues connected to the notion of public control over enterprises investing abroad.

Trade Remedies: A New Outlook of the EU-Africa Relationship
Authors: Nosowicz Agnieszka , Bouvarel Clément
Published: January 2022

The trade relationship between the EU and Africa has been traditionally considered under the development agenda of the EU Commission. African countries being traditional export markets for EU goods and providers of raw materials for EU supply chains, the EU-African trade in goods has been traditionally exempted from EU trade remedies, while only a handful African countries have addressed EU exports under that prism. However, the emergence of China as a major investor in Africa, and its participation to the establishment of industrial bases in several African countries is causing a shift in the EU approach, as evidenced by the recent measures and investigations initiated by the EU Commission against Egypt and Morocco. The increasing pressure exerted by the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has led the EU Commission to adopt novel and sophisticated approaches to tackle these new avenues for unfair imports within the framework of the WTO agreements. That renewed focus on trade defence investigations is also increasingly shared by African countries, for which these new Chinese-owned African-based industries are a threat to their established or developing manufacturing sectors.

What is the link between endometriosis and adiposity?
Authors: Hong Juyeon , Yi Kyong Wook
Published: January 2022

Endometriosis is defined by the presence of extrauterine endometrial tissue and presents with symptoms of dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and impaired fertility. This condition often follows a chronic progressive course with favorable recurrence, even after surgical or medical treatment. The etiology or exact pathophysiology of endometriosis remains to be clarified, although it is thought to be a complex and multifactorial disease. Prior epidemiological or population-based studies have reported several risk factors related to endometriosis, such as environmental, menstrual, habitual, and lifestyle factors. Moreover, anthropometry has been found to be significantly associated with the diagnosis of endometriosis, as a lower body mass index is associated with an elevated risk of endometriosis. Here, we review studies that have examined the association between body size and the risk of endometriosis and discuss the clinical and biological significance of the relationship between adiposity and endometriosis.

Medical 3D printing is emerging as a clinically relevant imaging tool in Directing preoperative and intraoperative planning in many surgical specialties and will therefore likely lead to interdisciplinary collaboration between engineers, radiologists, and surgeons. 3D printer technology is one of the innovations brought by the industrial age. It has been in our lives for many years. This miracle manufacturing method has been frequently preferred for medical applications in recent years. The main aim of this project is to minimise the time and cost for the design and manufacturing of the prosthesis. Getting the DICOM file from the MRI or CT scan which gives the body part dimensions (or) views of the body part in different directions . AUTODESK MESHMIXER and 3D SLICER software’s are used to extract and design the 3D prosthetic body part in this project, flexible Biomaterial is gone to be used for the flexibility in the respiration process. There are a lot uses of 3D printing technology in surgery, pharmaceutical industry, disease modelling, development of customized implants and prostheses, organ printing, vet medicine and tissue engineering applications have been explained and this new method compared with traditional methods that used in the biomedical field. In addition, this study includes future opportunities that are expected to become widespread and developed in the future. Keywords: 3D Printing, DICOM File, AUTODESK MESHMIXER, 3D Slicer.
Develop a GIS Based Mobile Application for Environmental Quality Survey and GPS for Weather Forecasting
Authors: R. Patil Balasaheb
Published: January 2022

Environmental Quality Surveys are used to measure the ‘look and feel’ of a location. The technique is very subjective, which means people will have different views about an area. Some will find a location unattractive, while others may find the same place very attractive. An environmental quality survey uses an observer's judgements to assess environmental quality against a range of indicators. Sampling for environmental quality surveys within a study: Either an overall judgment of an area – walk around the whole Output Area and then complete the survey as a summary. Weather forecasting is the application of science and technology to predict the conditions of the atmosphere for a given location and time. People have attempted to predict the weather informally for millennia and formally since the 19th century. Weather forecasts are made by collecting quantitative data about the current state of the atmosphere at a given place and using meteorology to project how the atmosphere will change.

Malezya’nın ekonomik kalkınmasının temel parametreleri
Authors: İnaç Hüsamettin , Rashid Noureddine
Published: January 2022

Malezya son dönemde sergilediği ekonomik performansla dikkatleri üzerine çekmektedir. Ne var ki söz konusu ekonomik başarının nedenleri konusunda çok fazla çalışma yapılmamıştır. Bu çalışma 1981-2020 döneminde Malezya siyasi dinamikleriyle ekonomik kalkınma arasındaki ilişkiyi açıklamayı hedeflemektedir. Çalışmada siyasi tecrübe ve birikimin ekonomik kalkınmaya sağladığı katkı somut örnek ve analizlerle çarpıcı bir biçimde oryaya konulmaktadır. Bu hedefe yönelik olarak tanımlayıcı ve analitik yöntem kullanılmıştır.  Buna ilaveten Malezya’da gelişen ekonomik kalkınmayla birlikte bu olguyu etkileyen siyasi sistemin yapısı, özellikleri ve ekonomik kalkınma araçları ana başlıklar halinde ele alınmıştır. Malezya’da siyasi olarak lider olanların Malezya ekonomisine katkıları ve yapmış oldukları köklü değişiklik önem arz etmektedir. Bu yüzden Malezya’da değişen siyasi liderlerin ekonomik gelişmeler üzerindeki etkileri çalışmada yer bulmuştur. Siyasi liderliğin Malezya ekonomisi üzerindeki etkileri ile ilgili yapılan çalışmaların azlığı çalışmanın önemli olduğunu göstermektedir. Çünkü üzerinde yeteri kadar çalışılmamış bu kabil bir konuda ortaya konulan bir araştırmanın literatüre katkı sağlayacağı ve konu hakkında çalışmak isteyenlere fayda sağlayacağı bir gerçektir. Özellikle Türkiye’ de Malezya ekonomik deneyimi üzerine araştırma yapacak olanlara ışık tutacaktır. Belirlenen hedeflerden aşağıdaki sonuçlara ulaşılmıştır: Dr. Mahathir Muhammed, uzun vadeli ekonomik kalkınma planları hazırlayarak ekonomik kalkınmada başarı göstermiştir. Malezya Hükümeti, Mahathir Muhammedin başkanlık yaptığı süre boyunca eğitim ve teknoloji programlarına büyük önem vererek söz konusu alanda ilerleme kaydetmiştir. Mahathir Muhammed’in liderliği başarılı bir liderlik olarak görüldüğünden gelişmekte olan bazı ülkeler tarafından ilgi odağı olmuş ve dikkatle incelenmiştir.
