Family planning program has a very strategic, comprehensive and fundamental meaning in creating a healthy and prosperous Indonesian human being. However, recently the incidence of drop out is quite high for several reasons. This study was conducted to determine the influential factors that cause acceptors to drop out. It is descriptive research. The populations in the study were contraceptive acceptors who dropped out for 3 consecutive months, and not being pregnant. The numbers of sample were 100 people. The data collection employed closed and open questionnaires; data presented in descriptive form. Influential factors of drop out contraceptive acceptors due to side effects were 38%, wanting children 18%, others (changing the method/ expired) 14%, without husband support in using contraception 22%, and others 22%. The period of using contraception after dropout 34% (3-10 years); express unlimited time (one day later) and unwilling to use contraception anymore after dropping out 23%. It is suggested that health professionals can increase the handling of family planning side effects, improve counseling, information and education related to the choice of short term non-hormonal contraceptive devices related to the selection of contraceptives for pre-menopausal age so that the decision making can be taken more appropriately, increase the competence of health professionals, increasing husband support, improving mentoring and monitoring acceptors who have dropped put to use contraceptives again willingly.

Thickening and sickening the SYK model
Authors: Khveshchenko Dmitri
Published: July 2018

We discuss higher dimensional generalizations of the
0+10+1-dimensional
Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model that has recently become the focus of
intensive interdisciplinary studies by, both, the condensed matter and
field-theoretical communities. Unlike the previous constructions where
multiple SYK copies would be coupled to each other and/or hybridized
with itinerant fermions via spatially short-ranged random hopping
processes, we study algebraically varying long-range (spatially and/or
temporally) correlated random couplings in the general
d+1d+1
dimensions. Such pertinent topics as translationally-invariant
strong-coupling solutions, emergent reparametrization symmetry,
effective action for fluctuations, chaotic behavior, and diffusive
transport (or a lack thereof) are all addressed. We find that the most
appealing properties of the original SYK model that suggest the
existence of its 1+11+1-dimensional
holographic gravity dual do not survive the aforementioned
generalizations, thus lending no additional support to the hypothetical
broad (including ’non-AdS_{d+2}AdSd+2/non-CFT_{d+1}CFTd+1’)
holographic correspondence.

Published: July 2018

The article substantiates the necessity of development and implementation of ethical rules of doing business into the business practices of small and medium enterprises. Particular attention is paid to business entities in Ukraine as a country with one of the highest levels of shadow economy. The two-level structure of SMEs’ Code of Ethics designed by the author is being presented, which is based on the following key concepts: transparency of business entities activity, partnership integrity, environmental and social responsibility, which are interrelated and reflected in the individual modules of the Code.The article presents the results of approbation of the author’s Code of Ethics for SMEs. The approbation is based on a personal and interactive questionnaire about the readiness of Ukrainian SMEs representatives to introduce ethical norms into their activities. The authors determined that Ukrainian SMEs are not well-informed about possible positive effects from following norms and rules in business, in particular, in terms of improving the business climate in the country, increasing the investment attractiveness of the economy as a whole and economic entities in particular, simplifying the access to financial and credit instruments.The survey and questionnaire of Ukrainian SMEs confirmed the need for the development and implementation of the business Code of Ethics norms, as well as potential demand for it. The respondents recognize the importance of certain international ethical rules in conducting business, which may contribute to attracting investment in Ukraine; however, this is not the only factor affecting the investment attractiveness of domestic business. It is substantiated that the business climate improvement is a complex issue, and the Code of Ethics, in this context, creates the opportunities of guiding and encouraging participants to the active influence on the business environment: to declare zero tolerance to corruption and to form and to maintain clear position in interactions with the public authorities.

Authors: Petrov A. V. , Strongin L. G.
Published: July 2018

Hypoglycemia detection in T2DM patients is an important issue which is usually accomplished with self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG). Optimal schedule of testing and diagnostic threshold are important for effective SMBG. Aims of study: To evaluate hypoglycemia frequency by SMBG using structured AccuChek 360 View protocol and glucose monitoring and increase SMBG efficacy in the detection of hypoglycemia. Study design: 16 T2DM patients after initiation of insulin treatment were included. Each patient had 3 days of glucose monitoring together with SMBG 7 times a day after hospital discharge and 3 months later. Results: Hypoglycemia was detected in 38% of monitoring periods; this patients had higher glucose variability and lower average glucose. SMBG detected hypoglycemia in 16% of periods. 6 out of 7 unrecognized hypoglycemias were during night. This 6 cases were characterized by minimal daytime glucose levels by SMBG below 5 mmol/l. ROC-analysis demonstrated minimal glucose level during daytime of 4.8 mmol/l to have 92% sensitivity and 74% specificity for detection of any hypoglycemia by glucose monitoring. Conclusion: Structured Accu-Chek 360 View SMBG can reliably detect daytime hypoglycemia but regular nighttime testing is recommended in all T2DM patients using insulin for detection of nighttime hypoglycemia. Minimal glucose levels below 4.8-5 mmol/l during daytime corresponds with high hypoglycemia risk.

Combined oral contraception: is there a resource for increased use?
Authors: Kuznetsova I. V. , Evsyukova L. V. , Konovalov V. A.
Published: July 2018

Combined oral contraceptives (COCs) are a highly effective method for preventing unintended pregnancy, but unfortunately, the resource of their contraceptive and therapeutic potential is not used enough, and global unintended pregnancies account for about 40%. The reasons for the lack of proper distribution of COCs are insufficient awareness of the beneficial properties of contraception, along with exaggerated fears of the adverse effects of hormone intake both among women and among doctors. This problem can only be overcome by providing adequate information to health professionals regarding the accumulated data and bringing this information to potential users. The review examines the risks of possible complications, as well as the preventive and therapeutic benefits of some COCs. The COC group is represented by preparations, which properties may differ significantly due to the different dose of the estrogen component and the qualitative characteristics of the progestins. Despite the launch of new combination drugs, COCs deserve high attention. Their efficacy and safety is confirmed by the long practical administration.

Authors: Zamergrad M. V. , Khatkova S. E.
Published: July 2018

Balance and vestibular disorders are often detected in patients who have suffered a stroke. Instability may be caused by various reasons. In some cases, impairment of gait is caused by spastic paresis, in others by proprioceptive sensitivity and cerebellar disorders. Management of patients with balance disorders in the post-stroke period is composed of a detailed assessment of functional capabilities, the risk of falls and the cause of instability, as well as the adjustment of physical rehabilitation and drug therapy. The effective methods of physical rehabilitation include general exercises to strengthen stability and physical endurance, and special simulators with biological feedback. The drug therapy includes basic pharmacotherapy for the secondary prevention of stroke and symptomatic agents that can manage various disorders due to pathogenetic mechanisms of cerebral stroke (botulinum therapy, Vasobral).

Authors: Miroshnichenko N. A. , Ovchinnikov A. Yu.
Published: July 2018

Nasal breathing plays an important role in the respiratory function, which ensures that a person consumes appropriate levels of air. Nasal obstruction causes a person to consume air mainly through the mouth, which impairs the numerous functions of the nose. This leads first to functional abnormalities, and then to morphological and structural changes. Topical decongestants that have the strongest and fastest effect are the most popular drugs to manage rapidly nasal obstruction. The main nasal decongestants can be divided into two groups: sympathomimetic amines: primary aliphatic, phenolic and non-phenolic compounds, as well as imidazoline derivatives. Among modern vasoconstrictive drugs, Otrivin® complex showed good results. The drug contains xylometazoline and ipratropium bromide. Application of this drug strictly according to the instructions and for no more than 15 days guarantees the absence of severe local and systemic complications.

In order to attract the attention of customers and build their loyalty the trade enterprise should stand out at the background of others. One factor promoting attainment of this goal is the shop atmosphere. This category is essential for the service sector. The idea of atmosphere is also topical for medical institutions as enterprises of the service sector. What are its components in the field of public health and how can they be used? Can the atmosphere of the medical institution influence patients’ mood? You can find answers to these questions in this article. Analysis of the degree of this problem development in Russian and overseas publications allow us to speak about insufficient attention to its marketing component. In overseas literature the atmosphere of medical institutions is discussed only from the point of view of its therapeutic effect for patients and medical personnel, while Russian publications have not considered this issue. The list of atmosphere parameters consists of well-known elements. Traditionally it is investigated in the field of retail trade, as it makes possible to create and strengthen communication with clients in places of goods selling, to increase sales of the product range and profit. Is the list of parameters the same in medical institution? This question is still topical. The authors identify important parameters of the atmosphere in the medical institution influencing the younger generation – customers of medical services.
Regional Market of Education Services: Development Problems

Published: July 2018

Economy of the Altay territory is a diversified complex, where key types of economic activity are manufacturing industry, agriculture, wholesale and retail trade. A specific feather of the territory is a high proportion of the rural population – 39.3% of the total number of employed people (23% in Russia) and a low number of students of primary, secondary vocational and higher education as compared with all – Russian figures. According to the strategy of social and economic development of the Altay territory up to 2025 the priority lines in the territory economy are bio-technology, pharmaceutics, certain branches of machine building and food industry, tourismrecreation and transportation complexes, high-profit services of the service sector, including finance services, as well as services in the field of high technologies. The level of training specialists and skilled workers for this diversified labour market in general is sufficient, training is conducted by more than 200 specializations in all priority lines however, the training in the vocational education system fell down by 20% during the last 5 years. The demographic situation in the territory seriously influenced these figures. Changes in the structure of the GRP of the Altay territory caused the reduction in the proportion of manufacturing industry and agriculture, which affected negatively the level of population employment in production industries. The authors studied the key trends of the system of vocational education development in the territory in 2012–2016 and showed that the misbalance of education service supply with the real need in them on the labour market was caused both by the absence of reliable methods of labour market forecasting by quantity and structure and the impact of population preferences assessing subjectively the demand for labour resources proceeding from personal ideas about the demand for this or that profession. It can lead to the excess number of specialists of ‘popular’ professions and difficulties with their employment and, on the other hand – to the shortage of needed professional staff.

Specific Features of Audit and Assessment of Foreign-Trade Barter Deals
Authors: Efremova E. I.
Published: July 2018

Today the impact of foreign-trade operations as an important element of foreign – economic activity on economy of Russia has increased. Thus showing all stages of foreign-trade barter deal is becoming more and more acute. Because of that the organization could avoid difficulties in the process of shaping income of the operation. As a result of export-import operation integration not only positive effects but also certain problems were found. Practice of auditing demonstrated that currency, commercial and finance risks are not controlled completely or are controlled insufficiently, which can cause damages to the organization. An important step during auditing is the process of identifying advantages and disadvantages in the existing control over foreign-trade barter deals. In case such a control is absent, the assessment of goods movement on the way, in places of storage and transportation is violated. According to the Federal Customs Service import reached the minimum value in the last 5 years. It is connected mainly with food embargo (which caused the record drop in deliveries from EU countries), numerous bans introduced last year and fall in the ruble rate. The author advanced methodology of barter deal auditing during conducting foreign economic activity by organizations and the system of record-keeping of operations, which play an important role in foreign trade of Russian organizations and entrepreneurs.
Effect of Laparoscopic Cystectomy for Ovarian Endometriomas on Ovarian Reserve, as Measured by Anti-Müllerian Hormone: A Prospective Cohort Study
Authors: Marshall Vaughan , Siebert Thomas Ignatius
Published: July 2018

Background:

Cystectomy for ovarian endometriomas is commonly performed, however
recent publications have shown a deleterious effect of cystectomy on ovarian reserve.

Objectives:

The study aimed to evaluate what effect laparoscopic cystectomy for ovarian
endometriomas has on the ovarian reserve.

Methods:

This is a prospective cohort study performing standard laparoscopic cystectomies for
ovarian endometriomas. The primary outcome was the assessment of the ovarian reserve using
Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), done pre- and six months postoperatively. Secondary outcome
was spontaneous pregnancy during follow up.

Results:

We enrolled 59 participants. Twenty-five participants were lost to follow up and a further
3 were excluded from the analysis. The average age was 33.1 years. Thirty-one participants
completed the six months follow up. The mean preoperative and postoperative AMH value was
3.21ng/mL [95% CI: 2.24 - 4.18ng/mL, SD 2.64] and 1.48ng/mL [95% CI: 1.06 - 1.91ng/mL, SD
1.17] respectively: equating to a 53.89% decline, P=0.002. Twenty participants had unilateral cysts
whilst the remaining 11 had bilateral endometriomas. The mean preoperative and postoperative
AMH for unilateral cysts was 3.22ng/mL [95% CI:1.93 - 4.51ng/mL, SD 2.76] and 1.82ng/mL
[95% CI: 1.23 – 2.41ng/mL, SD 1.26] respectively, representing a 43.48% decrease, P=0.072. Of
the 11 with bilateral endometriomas, the mean preoperative AMH was 3.19ng/mL [95% CI: 1.49 -
4.89ng/mL, SD 2.54] with 0.88ng/mL [95% CI: 0.43 - 1.33ng/mL, SD 0.67] representing the postoperative
AMH, equating to a 72.41% reduction, P=0.005.

Conclusion:

Serum AMH is negatively affected by laparoscopic cystectomy for ovarian
endometriomas, with a significant decline in ovarian reserve as measured six months postoperatively.
A greater decline was seen in patients with bilateral endometriomas compared to unilateral disease.
Determining the Norton’s Equivalent Model of Distribution System with Distributed Generation (DG) for Stability Analysis
Authors: Katyara Sunny , Staszewski Lukasz , Chachar Faheem Akhtar
Published: July 2018

Background:

Since the distribution networks are passive until Distributed Generation
(DG) is not being installed into them, the stability issues occur in the distribution system after the
integration of DG.

Methods:

In order to assure the simplicity during the calculations, many approximations have been
proposed for finding the system’s parameters i.e. Voltage, active and reactive powers and load angle,
more efficiently and accurately. This research presents an algorithm for finding the Norton’s
equivalent model of distribution system with DG, considering from receiving end. Norton’s model
of distribution system can be determined either from its complete configuration or through an
algorithm using system’s voltage and current profiles. The algorithm involves the determination of
derivative of apparent power against the current (dS/dIL) of the system.

Results:

This work also verifies the accuracy of proposed algorithm according to the relative variations
in the phase angle of system’s impedance. This research also considers the varying states of
distribution system due to switching in and out of DG and therefore Norton’s model needs to be updated
accordingly.

Conclusion:

The efficacy of the proposed algorithm is verified through MATLAB simulation results
under two scenarios, (i) normal condition and (ii) faulty condition. During normal condition, the stability
factor near to 1 and change in dS/dIL was near to 0 while during fault condition, the stability
factor was higher than 1 and the value of dS/dIL was away from 0.

Abstrak: Pengaruh Perubahan Komposisi Kepemilikan Saham Sebagai Akibat Stock Split terhadap Likuiditas Saham. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dampak pemecahan saham terhadap perdagangan saham di Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI) dengan memperhatikan komposisi kepemilikan saham. Komposisi kepemilikan saham publik dan perubahannya dalam kegiatan stock split diduga memiliki pengaruh terhadap likuiditas saham. Populasi penelitian ini adalah seluruh perusahaan di Bursa Efek Indonesia. Sampel penelitian sebanyak 48 perusahaan yang melakukan stock split pada periode 2010 – 2015. Pemilihan sampel menggunakan metode purposive sampling. Metode pengujian hipotesis menggunakan metode paired sampled t test dan analisis regresi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa peristiwa stock split memberikan dampak terhadap perdagangan saham. Stock split menyebabkan terjadinya perbedaan yang signifikan dari cumulative abnormal return (CAR) dan rata-rata trading volume activity sebelum pemecahan saham dibandingkan setelah pemecahan saham. Berkenaan dengan komposisi saham publik dan perubahannya dalam peristiwa stock split ternyata tidak berpengaruh terhadap likuiditas perdagangan saham. Kata kunci: pemecahan saham, likuiditas, kepemilikan publik Abstract: The Effect of Change in Stock Ownership because of Stock Split on Stock Liquidity. This study aimed to determine the effect of the stock split on stock trading by considering stock ownership proportion in companies listed in the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX). This study hypotesized that stock ownership proportion and its change in later date affected stock liquidity. The population of this study was companies in the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The samples were 48 companies which conducted stock split in 2010-2015. The sample was selected by purposive sampling method. Hypotesis was tested by using paired sampelled t-test and regression analysis. The study found that stock split indeed affected stock trading. Stock split significantly affected Cumulative Abnormal Return (CAR) and trading activity, compared to data before stock split occurred. However, the studi also found that stock ownership proportion and its changes in later date did not affect stock liquidity. Keywords: stock split, liquidity, public shareholder
AKULTURASI BATIK TRADISIONAL JAWA DENGAN CINA
Authors: Dwikurniarini Dina
Published: July 2018

Batik merupakan salah satu budaya asli Indonesia yang sudah dikenal sejak lama dan menjadi ciri khas busana tradisional. Dalam perkembangannya batik mengalami akulturasi dengan budaya lain  sehingga terlihat dalam perubahan-perubahan motif dan kegunaannya. Paling sedikit ada lima budaya yang mempengaruhi batik tradisional Jawa, yaitu Islam, Cina, Hindu, Budha dan Eropa. Meskipun demikian batik telah diterima sebagai sebuah seni kerajinan yang adiluhung dan justru menjadi ciri-ciri tertentu pada daerah-daerah tertentu yang memiliki batik di Jawa. Tulisan singkat ini akan mengulas batik sebagai tradisi Jawa yang mempunyai ciri khas tersendiri dan berkembang mengikuti zaman, sehingga terdapat perpaduan anatara tradisi dan modernisasi. Kegunaan batik yang dikembangkan saat ini semakin membuat batik dikenal luas dan untuk kepentingan pasar. Di era global ini akankah batik mempertahankan diri dengan tradisionalnya atau mengikuti perkembangan dunia? Bagaimana dengan nilai filosofisnya apakah akan dipertahankannya, sehingga bermakna bagi pemakainya? Sebaliknya apakah pasar global justru mengurangi makna ketradisionalannya sehingga batik menjadi pelengkap saja atau untuk penuhi kebutuhan semata? Setidaknya jika membeli batik, manusia hanya memanfaatkan semata tanpa mempunyai tujuan yang lebih dalam
