PENDEKATAN OPSI CASH-OR-NOTHING UP AND IN BARRIER UNTUK PENENTUAN NILAI PREMI ASURANSI PERTANIAN
Authors: Sari Yunita Wulan , Gunardi Gunardi
Published: November 2020

Crop insurance is a type of insurance that provides protection to farmers who hold an insurance policy for losses due to crop failure. Extreme weather, especially rainfall, has been the main cause of the crop failure. Therefore, the type of crop insurance based on weather or rainfall must be developed and applied. This paper will discuss the cash-or-nothing up and in barrier option approach for determining insurance premiums where the risk of loss in terms of high rainfall, then compare it to the Black-Scholes option approach. In this approach, the claim limit is based on the rainfall index and the value of the barrier is determined according to the size of the extreme rainfall. We use cumulative rainfall data in the first subround in Sleman regency as a case study. The conclusions obtained are barrier value has a negative effect on the value of insurance premiums and claim limit value has a positive effect. Besides the premium value with this barrier option approach is cheaper than the Black-Scholes option approach, this approach method more interesting to apply because of the barrier value addition.

Kalite Maliyetlerinin Analizi ve Raporlanması: Karabük Üniversitesi Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesinde Bir Uygulama
Authors: VARGÜN Hakan , GÜL Selman
Published: November 2020

Günümüzde teknoloji hızla gelişmekte ve rekabet koşulları giderek zorlaşmaktadır. Ağırlaşan rekabet koşulları müşterilerini tatmin etmek isteyen işletmeleri, varlıklarını sürdürebilmeleri için çeşitli kalite yönetim sistemlerini kullanmaya yönlendirmiştir. Kalite yönetim sistemleri, özellikle sağlık işletmeleri için diğer hizmet işletmelerine göre ayrı bir öneme sahiptir. Sağlık işletmelerinin yapacağı bir yanlış insanı doğrudan etkilemektedir. Çalışmamızda, sağlık işletmelerinde kalite sistemlerinin etkin ve verimli kullanım düzeyini ölçmek amacıyla PAF modeli çerçevesinde kalite maliyeti araştırılmıştır. Araştırma Karabük Üniversitesi Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi’nde yapılmıştır. Araştırmada veri toplama yöntemi olarak yüz yüze mülakat yöntemi tercih edilmiştir. Yapılan araştırmanın sonucunda sağlık kuruluşunun bakanlığın belirlediği “sağlıkta kalite standartları” yönetmeliğini uyguladığı ancak kalite maliyetleri muhasebe kaydının ayrı bir başlık altında tutulmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca araştırmanın yapıldığı sağlık kuruluşunda önleme maliyetlerinin benzer çalışmalardaki gibi diğer kalite maliyet kalemlerine göre yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Çalışmamızın sonunda sağlık kuruluşuna, kalite maliyetlerinin muhasebe kaydının ayrı bir başlık altında kaydı tutularak bu maliyetlerin başarılı bir şekilde kontrolünün sağlanabileceği ve kalite maliyetleri sayesinde kalite konusundaki eksikliklerini kolayca tespit edebileceği önerisinde bulunulmuştur.

Authors: ŞENTÜRK Tolga
Published: November 2020

Teoriler, olgu ve olayların karmaşıklıklarını insan kavrayışı için çözen ve basitleştiren, birbiriyle ilişkili bir dizi kavram, tanım ve önermelerdir. Modeller ise, olgu ve kavramların anlaşılabilir formalarını oluşturan, vakaları görselleştiren, bilimsel olgulara izahlar getiren şekiller ve önermeler olarak tanımlamaktadır (Coll, 2006). Son yirmi yıldır sosyal pazarlamada teori ve model kullanımı çokça tartışılmakta, araştırmacılar ve uygulamacılar teori ve model kullanımına önem göstermeye davet edilmektedir. Bununla birlikte yapılan araştırmalar pek çok sosyal pazarlamacının teori ve model ayrımını yapamadığını, hangi sosyal müdahale için hangi teori ve modellerin kullanıldığı konusunda bilgi sahibi olmadığını, sosyal müdahalelerin betimleyici araştırma, uygulama ve değerlendirme süreçlerinde teori ve modellerden nasıl yararlanabilecekleri hakkında her hangi bir fikir sahibi olmadığını ortaya koymaktadır. Söz konusu eksikliklerin giderilmesine akademik katkı sunmak adına çalışmada teori ve model kullanımının önemi, sosyal pazarlamada kullanılan teori ve modellerin neler olduğu ve nasıl kullanıldığı ele alınmıştır. Yapılan literatür araştırması çerçevesinde sosyal pazarlama müdahalelerinde en çok kullanılan teori ve modeller bir araya getirilmiş ve örnek uygulamalarla açıklanmıştır. Yine bu teori ve modellerin sosyal müdahalenin hangi aşamalarında kullanılabileceği aktarılmış, verilen bilgiler tablo aracılığıyla özetlenerek araştırmacıların istifadesine sunulmuştur.

INTERRELATION OF NATURAL STABILITY TO RESISTANCE TO DISEASE AND STRESS WITH ECONOMICALLY USEFUL FEATURES IN DAIRY CATTLE
Authors: Makovska N. , Chulkov S.
Published: November 2020

There have a survey of the connection between natural resistance and stress resistance among Holstein heifer showing domestic-usable features.

Arecord-keepingofdisease incidence was conducted.

There was a study of calves-live-weight and of their spontaneous resistance.

Serum bactericidal and lysozyme activity were determined.

For impartial assessment of phagocytosis, activity and intensity of phagocytosis were taken into account.

There was an analysis of lactation milk production of calved cows, after giving birth of calves under review.

There was a study of production traits of test animals after termination of first lactation.

There have been established high criteria of age succession of live-weight-features in all age periods (r = +0.8 – +0.9), which affirms the consistency in calf management.

Average month live-weight-increase in the test group was 25.3 ± 118 kg.

There was revealed a positive correlation between an average month live-weight-increase and serum bactericidal activity(r = +0.28 ± 0.13).

Otherwise an invert correlation between lysozyme activity and average month live-weight-increase was determined.

At the age of 7 months the invert correlation in these criteria amounts r = -0.585 ± 0.22**, Р < 0.01.

The efficiency-influence of calved cows on the live-weight of 6-month-calves was probable and amounted ηх2 = 29.6% (Р > 0.001).

The efficiency-influence of calved cows on the stress resistance of calves turned out statistically significant and amounted ηх2 = 39.5%.

A statistically significant influence of the age of the first service (ηх2 = 12.3%) and that of incidence of illness (ηх2 = 7%) in early age on the milk production was not identified.

The animals, showing normal-stress-status, had probably, higher level of milk production in 305 day of the first lactation, (+1843 кг, Р < 0.05), than stress-sensitive animals.

Apart from this, the stress-resistant calves showed, probably, higher live-weight.

In summary, the inconstancy between live-weight and the criteria of natural resistance should be considered during cattle-breeding aiming disease-resistance.
A Wittgenstenian Language Gemes on Idealism and Realism: Lesson Learned for STEM Based Curriculum in Universitas Terbuka
Authors: Sukmayadi Dodi
Published: November 2020

This paper is to expound some note on philosophy in terms of contrast between idealism and realism in its various shades of grey. Included is its shade in (certain) Islamic perspective. The methods of analysis is that of Wittgenstenian language games (WLG) which proceed from several well-known statements or examples to dense possible meaning of them. The WLG is considered fruitful for the purpose of grounding theory and practice science-technology-engineering-math (STEM) based curriculum development and implementation. The subject matter discussed is how idealism and realism is expressed in the three three-generations of philosopher Socrates-Plato-Aristotle (SPA), Schopenhauer-Nietszsche-Foucault (SNF) and Hegel-Marx-Habermas (HMH). After mentioning an Islamic expression on idealism and realism as contrast of jabariyatism and mutazilitism, then it is time to see if Universitas Terbuka (UT) specifically and all (Indonesia) educational establishments in general have some lesson learned from that note on philosophy. In UT, in line mostly with Islamic expressions, idealism and realism is seen as contrast of content-based vs competency-based approach to curriculum development and implementation.

Authors: Çalışkan Nurcan , Doğan Nevin , Cihan Erdoğan Banu , Sucu Çakmak Nefise Cevriye , Kublashvılı Atike Nilay , Eyüboğlu Gülcan , Eyikara Evrim
Published: November 2020

Amaç: Bu araştırma, hemşirelerin ve hemşirelik öğrencilerinin fiziksel değerlendirme becerilerini kullanma durumlarını belirlemek amacıyla karşılaştırmalı-tanımlayıcı tasarımda gerçekleştirilmiştir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu araştırma, Ankara ve Siirt ilinde bulunan iki üniversite hastanesinin yataklı servislerinde çalışan hemşirelerle (n=148) ve iki üniversitede öğrenim gören dördüncü sınıf hemşirelik öğrencileriyle (n=381) gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler, araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen “Tanıtıcı Özellikler Formu” ve “Fiziksel Değerlendirme Beceri Formu” ile Ocak-Haziran 2018 tarihleri arasında toplanmıştır.
Bulgular: Hemşirelerin %81.8’inin fiziksel değerlendirme becerilerini bilmelerine rağmen %61.5’inin bu becerileri kullandığı, öğrencilerin %68.5’inin fiziksel değerlendirmeyle ilgili ders aldığı saptanmıştır. Fiziksel değerlendirme becerilerini uygulamadaki en büyük engel olarak hemşirelerin %98’i yoğun iş yükünü, öğrencilerin %76.1’i ise öğretim elemanı desteğindeki yetersizliği belirtmiştir. Fiziksel değerlendirme becerileriyle ilgili ders alan öğrencilerin, klinik deneyim süresi 0-9 yıl olan hemşirelerin ve dahili/cerrahi yoğun bakımda çalışan hemşirelerin fiziksel değerlendirme becerilerini istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde daha fazla kullandıkları saptanmıştır (p<0.05). Hemşirelerin en çok inspeksiyon yöntemini kullandıkları belirlenmiştir (p<0.05).
Sonuç: Hemşirelerin ve öğrencilerin çoğunun fiziksel değerlendirme yöntemlerini bilmesine karşın uygulamada yaygın olarak kullanamadıkları sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Fiziksel değerlendirme becerilerinin daha yaygın kullanılabilmesi için hemşirelik müfredatında fiziksel değerlendirme dersinin zorunlu olması, öğrencilerin bu becerileri kullanmaları için öğretim elemanlarının daha fazla destek vermesi, hemşirelerin iş yüklerinin azaltılması ve hizmet içi eğitimlerde fiziksel değerlendirme yöntemlerine yer verilmesi önerilmektedir.

Acute red eye in children: A practical approach
Authors: Lu Siyuan Jabelle , Lee Graham A , Cole Glen A
Published: November 2020

Background Acute red eye in a child is a common ocular presentation in general practice. It can arise from a wide spectrum of pathologies and involve various ocular structures. Objective The aim of this article is to provide a framework for the general practitioner to assess and manage a child presenting with a red eye, with a focus on cases that require immediate referral. Discussion Most paediatric red eyes are benign and can be safely managed in general practice. However, this requires thorough history-taking and examination together with the ruling out of red flags. Assessment of a child with a red eye may pose specific challenges that can usually be overcome by focused history-taking and opportunistic examination. Urgent referral for examination under sedation or anaesthesia is indicated when there is suspicion of a vision-threatening cause and/or assessment in the clinic is unsuccessful.
Paediatric scoliosis: Update on assessment and treatment
Authors: Parr Adam , Askin Geoffrey
Published: November 2020

Background Paediatric scoliosis is a common condition seen by general practitioners. Structural scoliosis is characterised by axial rotation at the apex. Several new operative treatments have recently been developed. Objective The aim of this article is to give an overview of scoliosis diagnosis, assessment and management. Discussion Scoliosis assessment should identify structural curves, underlying causes, severity and growth potential. Atypical curves and red flags must be excluded. Observation is appropriate for curves <20° in patients with high growth potential (Risser 0–2) and curves <40° in patients with minimal growth potential (Risser 3–5). Bracing is appropriate for patients with a curve of 20–40° with high growth potential. Indications for surgery vary depending on patient and curve factors; however, surgery can be indicated when the curve is >40°. Surgery can be divided into three groups: growth modulation, instrumentation without fusion and instrumentation with fusion. Early diagnosis and referral to a paediatric spine service can improve outcomes.

Pamer harta didalam islam tidak baik, begitupun pamer dimedia sosial. Adapun dampak positifnya harta kekayaan ini sangat penting untuk menunjang kehidupan sehari-hari, tanpa memiliki harta kekayaan yang cukup, seseorang tidak akan mampu membiayai kebutuhan hidupnya. Harta kekayaan bisa digunakan untuk meringankan beban orang lain seperti bersedekah kepada orang yang memerlukan bantuan. Kemudian ada juga dampak negatifnya pamer harta selalu digunakan untuk sebuah pencitraan dan mengejar popularitas di media sosial yang dapat menimbulkan prasangka buruk dari orang lain yang melihatnya. Sebagian besar orang akan beranggapan bahwa kekayaan yang di pamekan pasti dari hasil yang bukan-bukan. Sebenarnya orang yang memamerkan harta kekayaan dengan gaya hidup mewah hanya ingin mendapatkan pengakuan publik bahwa mereka adalah orang kaya. Terjadi kesenjangan, pamer harta kekayaan merupakan kebiasaan yang umum dilakukan oleh seseorang untuk mendapatkan pengakuan. Namun, kebiasaan ini pada dasarnya menunjukkan ketidakmampuan mereka untuk memahami hubungan sosial dalam perspektif yang benar, seolah-olah orang kaya itu buta dan gelap pikiran, tidak berperasaan, mereka dengan bangganya memamerkan harta kekayaan dan kemewahan yang dimilikinya sedangkan kalngan masyarakat lainnya masih ada yang hidup dibawah garis kemiskinan.

Is Patriotism Helpful to Fight the Crisis? The Role of Constructive Patriotism, Conventional Patriotism, and Glorification Amid the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Rupar Mirjana , Jamróz-Dolińska Katarzyna , Kołeczek Maryna , Sekerdej Maciek Borys
Published: November 2020

We examined the link between constructive patriotism, glorification, and conventional patriotism and COVID-19-related attitudes and behaviours at different stages of the pandemic in Poland. In Study 1 (N = 663), constructive patriotism was positively associated with support for intrinsic measures (e.g., raising awareness about health practices). Glorification was negatively linked to support for such measures and positively connected to support for extrinsic measures (e.g., closing the borders). In Study 2 (N = 522), constructive patriots showed greater compliance with hygiene and social distance practices. In Study 3 (N = 633), the attribution of responsibility for fighting the crisis to the State and particularly to individuals underlined the link between constructive patriotism and compliance with health practices. Additionally, constructive patriotism was linked to support for international collaboration. Study 4 (N = 1,051), conducted on a representative sample, further corroborated these findings. The results regarding conventional patriotism were not consistent across studies.
Trajectories of eating behavior during COVID-19 lockdown: Longitudinal analyses of 22,374 adults in the UK
Authors: Herle Moritz , Smith Andrea , Bu Feifei , Steptoe Andrew , Fancourt Daisy
Published: November 2020

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the implementation of stay-at-home and lockdown measures. It is currently unknown if the experience of lockdown leads to long term changes in individual’s eating behaviors.Objective: The objectives of this study were: i) to derive longitudinal trajectories of change in eating during UK lockdown, and ii) to identify risk factors associated with eating behavior trajectories. Design: Data from 22,374 UK adults from the UCL COVID-19 Social study (a panel study collecting weekly data during the pandemic) were analyzed from 28th March to 29th May 2020. Latent Class Growth Analysis was used to derive trajectories of change in eating. These were then associated with prior socio-economic, heath-related and psychological factors using multinomial regression models. Results: Analyses suggested five trajectories, with the majority (64%) showing no change in eating. In contrast, one trajectory was marked by persistently eating more, whereas another by persistently eating less. Overall, participants with greater depressive symptoms were more likely to report any change in eating. Loneliness was linked to persistently eating more (OR= 1.07), whereas being single or divorced, as well as stressful life events, were associated with consistently eating less (OR= 1.69). Overall, higher education status was linked to lower odds of changing eating behavior (OR= 0.54-0.77). Secondary exploratory analyses suggest that participants self-reported to have overweight were most common amongst the consistently overeaters, whereas underweight participants persistently ate less. Conclusion: In this study, we found that one third of the sample report changes in quantities eaten throughout the first UK lockdown period. Findings highlight the importance of adjusting public health programs to support eating behaviors in future lockdowns both in this and potential future pandemics. This is particularly important as part of on-going preventive efforts to prevent nutrition-related chronic diseases.
Is Understanding Reducible?
Authors: Ross Lewis
Published: November 2020

Despite playing an important role in epistemology, philosophy of science, and more recently in moral philosophy and aesthetics, the nature of understanding is still much contested. One attractive framework attempts to reduce understanding to other familiar epistemic states. This paper explores and develops a methodology for testing such reductionist theories before offering a counterexample to a recently defended variant on which understanding reduces to what an agent knows.
Age moderation of the association between negative subsequent memory effects and episodic memory performance
Authors: Pruitt Patrick , Tang Lingfei , Hayes Jessica , Ofen Noa , Damoiseaux Jessica S.
Published: November 2020

Negative subsequent memory effects in functional MRI studies of memory formation, have been linked to individual differences in memory performance, yet the effect of age on this association is currently unclear. To provide insight into the brain systems related to memory across the lifespan, we examined functional neuroimaging data acquired during episodic memory formation and behavioral performance from a memory recognition task in a sample of 109 participants, including three developmental age groups (8-12, 13-17, 18-25 year-olds) and one additional group of older adults (55-85 year-olds). Young adults showed the highest memory performance and strongest negative subsequent memory effects, while older adults showed reduced negative subsequent memory effects relative to young adults. Across the sample, negative subsequent memory effects were associated with better memory performance, and there was a significant interaction between negative subsequent memory effects and memory performance by age groups. Posthoc analyses revealed that this effect was driven by a strong association between negative subsequent memory effects and memory performance in adolescents and young adults, but not in children and older adults. These findings suggest that negative subsequent memory effects may differentially support memory performance across a lifespan trajectory characterized by developmental maturation and age-related deterioration.

This article aims to analyze, systematize, and unify compound term-nouns in electrical engineering by several classifications. The report's significance draws on the modern linguistic trends towards research on the structural, semantic, and functional peculiarities of compound terminological units. Moreover, it is relevant to study compound term-nouns as specific lexical content of English electrical engineering texts. The article's scientific novelty is in integrated and systematic research of compound term-nouns in electrical engineering because of semantics, stylistics, and lexicology. The study used a continuous sampling method and drew on a collection of English scientific and technical texts with 10296 pages. Compound term-nouns have been systematized according to their semantics. In electrical engineering, they consist of seven micro fields. According to the degree of abstraction, compound term-nouns have been classified into abstract and concrete. We revealed that in the texts on electrical engineering, abstract compound term-nouns dominate. Concerning the degree of stylistic features, we have arranged compound term-nouns into stylistically colored and stylistically neutral. As to usage frequency, we have researched that science textbook is the primary source of functioning compound term-nouns in electrical engineering. In respect to functional coloring, compound term-nouns have been classified into neologisms, obsolete vocabulary, archaisms, occasionalisms, and borrowings. We have found that in texts on electrical engineering borrowings, prevail. The results of the study have been summarized in the concluding section.

The research paper considers the main provisions of the new scientific direction of Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP); its fundamental goal is determined, which first of all includes optimizing the interactive interaction in practically all discursive genres of modern communicative space; the effectiveness of utilizing several NLP techniques in the Ukrainian educational segment is substantiated, first of all - in the process of teaching foreign languages, in particular English, given its international status and scientific potential. The main aim of the study is to review the relevant NLP techniques aimed at optimizing the teacher’s professional skills, and hence the effectiveness of the learning process as a whole. Such techniques include predicate, meta- and Milton-model personal identification, as well as spelling. The significance of the study is determined by the fact that this set of neurolinguistic techniques will be extremely useful both in creating comfortable communicative learning conditions as the basis of its effectiveness and inactivating the students’ psychocognitive abilities and increasing their professional competence level. The main question of the research paper is how to generally contribute to educational process optimization, mainly, in teaching foreign languages in the Ukrainian-speaking environment. In the study, both general scientific research tools (descriptive method, analysis, synthesis, observation) and special experimental methods (recording and comparing the results of applied NLP techniques, surveys, evaluations) are utilized. The main findings of the research allowed to determine the students’ individual neurophysiological mechanisms (representative priorities) in the process of educational data perception; to identify cases of the students’ deviant behavior through the reconstruction of their verbal and nonverbal behavior and adjust the communicative background to create a comfortable learning environment; to apply the elements of correct suggestibility to strengthen the students’ cognitive activity, and the naturalization of teaching data; to enhance the processes of memorization, effective assimilation and competent reproduction of new data through the directed activation of representative systems (visual, audible, kinesthetic) and the corresponding submodalities.

The article is devoted to the analyzing the main methodological principle, which focuses on the technological support of the educational process regarding teaching foreign languages for specific purposes. The law lies in the fact that the methods used in teaching foreign languages should be considered from their most significant effect to achieve educational goals. The research work aims at analyzing the technological support of the process of teaching foreign languages for specific purposes. We consider this support as an essential component of professional training. While working on the paper, we used the following methods of pedagogical research: theoretical analysis and generalization of literature on the research problem; theoretical forecasting methods; a sociological survey (questionnaire, interviews) of students and teachers; testing; mathematical processing of the results of questionnaires and interviews. We developed and used several cases for students of different specialties in our teaching practice. Our development of cases and our teaching experience in the research field proved the effect of the use of the case-study method and its main advantages. We highlight the main question for further developments in the research field as the problems for developing and solving for the effective implementation of this method in teaching practices.
Accountability and neglect in UK social care innovation
Authors: O'Donovan Cian
Published: November 2020

Innovation alters who is accountable for social care and how they are held to account. This article shows how organisational, institutional, and technological innovation in infrastructures of social care can reconfigure accountability instruments and propel change between distinct modes of accountability. But innovation also sustains neglect: in terms of issues, objects and subjects missing from research; and in terms of low levels of institutional reflexivity mobilized to evaluate and direct innovation’s impacts. Evidenced using two-level situational analysis– across a UK research portfolio and within a public robotics lab – we argue confronting this neglect is critical for post-pandemic reform.
India-Israel Relations: Opportunities and Complexities

India and Israel share a rich civilizational history that began with the coming of Jews to India in 562 BCE and an identical colonial past being colonized by the British Empire. Together, they share a special association marked by several commonalities like both were born out of the bitter partition, practicing democratic ideals, subject to hostile neighbours, and rising cross-border terrorism. While India recognized Israel in 1950, it took four long decades for both to formally began their diplomatic ties. The post-Cold War world order, the rise of coalition politics in India, and the successful de-hyphenation of Indo-Israel ties from Indo-Palestine ties have further contributed to the increasing importance of the relationship. Today, the relationship, which was once founded on the bedrock of defense cooperation and arms trade, has become multifaceted. Both countries have converged across fields that include space, science, and technology, real estate, textile, cybersecurity, pharmaceuticals, agricultural innovations, water management, energy, etc. Along with convergences, there are also geopolitical divergences on the question of Palestine, Israel’s critical view of India-Iran relations, India’s sensitivities to Israel-China relations, etc. that have contributed to shaping the relationship. However, trust and pragmatism have never let the divergences overpower convergences in the relationship. A growing Indo-Israel tie is also seen as a boost to heightened Indo-US ties. This increased reconciliation between Israel and India is also expected to have wider implications for regional geopolitics and further shaping the strategic discourse of the region.
