Особливого значення вони набувають у сфері вищої медичної (до-та післядипломної) освіти, оскільки суттєво впливають на стан здоров’я суспільства шляхом підготовки кадрового складу галузі охорони здоров’я. Мета дослідження. Розробити інформаційну модель системи управління якістю закладу вищої медичної освіти на основі ISO 9001:2015 та його національного аналогу ДСТУ ISO 9001:2015. Результати. Результати системного аналізу структури і змісту ISO 9001:20015 та його національного аналогу ДСТУ ISO 9001:20015 дозволили встановити, що в основу побудови системи управління якістю, відповідної вимогам стандарту, покладений інформаційний обмін. Так, одним з базових принципів управління якістю, представлених у вступі до стандарту, визначено принцип прийняття управлінських рішень на підставі фактичних даних. Це означає, що для ефективного управління якістю керівникові закладу вищої медичної освіти необхідно володіти релевантною за обсягом і змістом інформацією про предмети, об’єкти та процеси, що формують і підтримують дієвість системи. Інший провідний принцип - процесного підходу - згідно зі стандартом, передбачає, зокрема, забезпечення постійного поліпшення якості усіх процесів (діяльності) в системі управління на основі оцінювання даних і інформації про їх перебіг, проміжні й кінцеві результати. Стандарт рекомендує підтримувати в актуальному стані задокументовану інформацію, необхідну для функціонування процесів. В статті детально проведено детальний аналіз структури і змісту міжнародного та національного стандартів ISO 9001:2015 та ДСТУ ISO 9001:2015 потребує розробки інформаційної моделі системи управління якістю для закладів вищої медичної освіти. Висновки. Таким чином, запропонована інформаційна модель системи управління якістю закладу вищої медичної освіти може слугувати орієнтиром для керівників цих закладів у процесі розробки, впровадження, підтримки функціонування і оцінки системи управління якістю з метою постійного поліпшення якості вищої медичної освіти на до-та післядипломному рівні.
"Wrong Majors Phenomenon": a Challenge for Indonesia in Molding Globally Competent Human Resources to Encounter Demographic Dividend
Authors: Ali Rizaldy 
Published: July 2018

The growth of youth population has now become a strategic consideration of global trends predicted by 2030. In many parts of the world, the growth of youth population is increasingly uncontrolled. According to the Central Agency on Statistics, it revealed that Indonesia's population is dominated by a productive age group that is between 15-64 years old. This condition shows that Indonesia is moving into an era of demographic dividend. However, the fact that the human development index of Indonesia is too low; Indonesia ranked 110 out of 188 countries in the world and with massive numbers of academic unemployment, as if showing the unpreparedness of Indonesia in facing demographic dividend. This paper, attempts to highlight upon; the immense impact of mistaking majors to the human resource competence. Examine the key factors of wrong majors' phenomenon, and how do implications arise when students are incorrectly selected. The research used a descriptive method; source data ascribed to field research; and study of literature. Through this research, the most striking findings are: the key factors that trigger wrong majors' phenomenon that is caused by the influence of significant person statistics, low passing grade becoming their consideration to be accepted in college; they didn’t gain any intensive preparation for going to college; the existence of consciousness upon the demands of experts, so that they preferred majors based on what the market needs not relying on their interest; and also the fears for not doing anything after graduating from high school. Mistaking majors implies towards the psychic of the college student; such as, highly vulnerable to being stressed because they are not able to adjust to the learning process.
Private Litigation Costs and Voluntary Disclosure: Evidence from the Morrison Ruling
Authors: Naughton James P. , Rusticus Tjomme O. , Wang Clare , Yeung Ira 
Published: July 2018

ABSTRACT
We examine the causal effect of expected private litigation costs on voluntary disclosure using a natural experiment, the Supreme Court ruling in Morrison v. National Australia Bank. Even though this ruling had no effect on what constituted fraudulent conduct for the purpose of securities litigation, it significantly reduced the expected private litigation costs for foreign cross-listed firms by reducing the pool of potential claimants. It did so by eliminating the right of shareholders who purchased shares on non-U.S. exchanges from seeking compensation in U.S. courts. In the post-Morrison period, we find consistent evidence showing a decrease in voluntary disclosure using analyses that exploit the varying impact of the ruling based on both firm- and country-level attributes. Unlike a number of prior studies, we find that the positive relation between litigation and disclosure does not depend on the direction of the news.

Do Debt Covenants Constrain Borrowings Prior to Violation? Evidence from SFAS 160
Authors: Cohen Moshe , Katz Sharon P. , Mutlu Sunay , Sadka Gil 
Published: July 2018

ABSTRACT
Prior evidence shows a reduction in leverage after covenant violations, but we do not know whether covenants affect leverage before they are violated. In this study, we use an exogenous accounting-based shock to debt covenants that relaxed covenant tightness (SFAS 160) and examine whether covenants constrain leverage for borrowers that are close to violation, even when the borrower is financially healthy. We find that SFAS 160 increased debt levels in firms that were close to violation. This increase in debt was driven by financially healthy firms, suggesting the likelihood of future covenant violations could impede borrowing by firms. We also find an increase in investment sensitivity to Q after SFAS 160 in firms close to violation, suggesting the additional debt was used to make legitimate investments. Because SFAS 160 was passed in the midst of the financial crisis, it is difficult to generalize our findings to more normal financial periods.

Do Managers Disclose or Withhold Bad News? Evidence from Short Interest
Authors: Bao Dichu , Kim Yongtae , Mian G. Mujtaba , Su Lixin (Nancy) 
Published: July 2018

ABSTRACT
Prior studies provide conflicting evidence as to whether managers have a general tendency to disclose or withhold bad news. A key challenge for this literature is that researchers cannot observe the negative private information that managers possess. We tackle this challenge by constructing a proxy for managers' private bad news (residual short interest) and then perform a series of tests to validate this proxy. Using management earnings guidance and 8-K filings as measures of voluntary disclosure, we find a negative relation between bad-news disclosure and residual short interest, suggesting that managers withhold bad news in general. This tendency is tempered when firms are exposed to higher litigation risk, and it is strengthened when managers have greater incentives to support the stock price. Based on a novel approach to identifying the presence of bad news, our study adds to the debate on whether managers tend to withhold or release bad news.

The Expansion of Casino Gambling in the United States—State Revenues and Public Interest Implications
Authors: Camp Julia M. , Hartley Carol A. , Kelly Patrick T. 
Published: July 2018

ABSTRACTCasino gambling has greatly expanded in the United States since 1988. This paper considers the public interest implications of this change, including increased social costs and state revenues from casinos that can help address these costs. We describe casino growth, including the role of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) in casino development. After reviewing the research associated with casino social costs and state revenues, we select a number of states, concentrating in the northeastern United States, and describe the state revenues from casinos along with the funding that is provided for problem gambling prevention and treatment programs. We find a lack of consistency in the state casino tax rates, resulting revenues, and support for problem gambling prevention and treatment programs. Since billions of dollars of revenues are potentially at stake, state leaders should consider employing a strategy to capitalize on these revenues, given the increasingly prevalent social costs associated with casinos and the need to support problem gambling prevention and treatment programs.
Combat Training for Horse and Rider in the Early Middle Ages
Authors: Gassmann Jürg 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
The cavalry horse, tactics and training in Western Europe – the Euro-pean provinces of the Roman Empire of the West and the Frankish Empire – du-ring the Early Middle Ages (c. 500-1000) are still subject to many myths in both popular media and academic literature. Source material is admittedly thin, yet it is specific enough to allow us to correct many of these misconceptions and outright errors.
The article initially summarises the current state of knowledge on the war horse of the period, by reference to the archaeological record. It then reviews the cavalry’s battlefield tactics, derives the skill level required to execute the manoeuvres described in the sources, and analyses where and how this training could have been provided.
The information gleaned provides an insight into the skills and expertise neces-sary to achieve the requisite sophisticated level of horsemanship. We shall argue that these imply a considerable investment in organisational infrastructure, per-sonnel and institutional memory, which has so far not received much academic attention, and has wider implications for our view of the era.
On the Art of Fighting: A Humanist Translation of Fiore dei Liberi’s Flower of Battle Owned by Leonello D’Este
Authors: Mondschein Ken 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
The author presents a study of Bibliothèque National de France MS Latin 11269, a manuscript that he argues was associated with the court of Leonello d’Este and which represents an attempt to “fix” or “canonize” a vernacular work on a practical subject in erudite Latin poetry. The author reviews the life of Fiore dei Liberi and Leonello d’Este and discusses the author’s intentions in writing, how the manuscript shows clear signs of Estense associations, and examines the manuscript both in light of its codicological context and in light of humanist activity at the Estense court. He also presents the evidence for the book having been in the Estense library. Finally, he examines the place of the manuscript in the context of the later Italian tradition of fencing books. A complete concordance is presented in the appendix.
Internal ministerial advisory bodies: An attempt to transform governing in the Slovak Republic
Authors: Sedlačko Michal , Staroňová Katarína 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
In the Slovak Republic, a number of internal ministerial advisory bodies, intended to provide high-quality analyses and evidence based policy making for national policy, have been established over the last two years. We have studied how the rational technocratic model of scientific policy advice as a specific mode of governing, acted out through these new institutional sites of expertise, survives in a highly politicised environment of the Slovak public administration. Central to our study was the reconstruction of an intersubjective account central to the work of organising on which the analytical centres and their staff, as well as their patrons, participate. Complementary to this, we focused on intersubjectively shared elements of the analysts’ community and subculture within the dominant CEE public administration culture. The vision of governing with expertise shared by analytical centres rests on the principles of transparency, orientation on professional merit (primarily econometric, analytical skills), voluntarism, conflict avoidance, political opportunism and institutional autonomy. Analytical centres identify themselves as a distinct professional group – in fact, they form a distinct organisational subculture around traits such as demographic characteristics (predominantly young males with economic or mathematical/IT background), symbols, hierarchies, working culture, humour, as well as artefacts. Analysts see their mission in the provision of impartial, objective analytical evidence for informed decision making, yet they negotiate the boundary between politics and expertise on a daily basis, and, as we found, in numerous aspects of analysts’ work politics cannot be entirely bracketed.
Software Algorithm Synthesis for Diesel Electronic Control Unit
Authors: Prohorenko A. , Dumenko P. 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
Nowadays global engine construction gets significant progress at a technological level, but specified manufacturers do not release any information about the composition, the structure of the algorithms and the software used by their equipment. It is possible to obtain information only fragmentary and, for example, the description of the electronic control unit algorithm is completely missing. This is a barrier for small companies to improve and adjust existing engines for specific purposes. The present paper describes and develops algorithm synthesis for an electronic diesel engine regulator. Mathe-matical modelling of the automatic control system has been carried out within the framework of the research. The results of the research have demonstrated the efficiency and sustainability of automatic electronic control system using the proposed algorithm.
Nonlinear Thermodiffusion in Gases at Moderate Temperatures
Authors: Janavičius A.J. , Turskienė S. 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
The paper discusses the properties of the nonlinear thermodiffusion equation corresponding to the diffusion processes, which occur with a finite velocity. In the previous papers, A. J. Janavičius proposed the nonlinear diffusion equation with the diffusion coefficient directly proportional to the concentration of impurities. This equation provides a more exact description of the profiles of impurities in Si crystals. The heat transfer in gases carries a greater average kinetic energy based on nonlinear diffusion of gas molecules from hot regions to the coldest ones with a finite velocity by random Brownian motions. In this case, the heat transfer in gases can be described by using nonlinear thermodiffusion equation with heat transfer and thermodiffusion coefficients directly proportional to temperature T. The obtained approximate analytical solutions are successfully applied in defining temperature profiles and heat transfer coefficients in gases as well as providing opportunities for practical applications. It has been concluded that heat spreading in gases depends on temperature differences and pressure in gases.

Published: July 2018

Abstract
Nowadays liquid crystal display (LCD) is an integral part of humans’ everyday life. High demand for new and innovative LCD products force LCD industry to develop and implement new types of LCDs. Bistable smectic-A (SmA) LCD is one of the most promising devices for smart glass applications due to long-term bistability, low haze at clear state, low transmittance at scatter state and low power consumption.
The study describes the most relevant conclusions obtained from frequency response testing and electric current measurements of bistable SmA LCD samples. Bistable LCDs have two states: opaque (light scattering state) and focal conic (transparent state). Switching between clear and scatter states and vice versa is a frequency dependant process. The conducted research on bistable SmA LC frequency response provides important knowledge about operation principles of the smart glass devices.

Authors: Rejek Maja , Grzechulska-Damszel Joanna 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
Pharmaceutical pollutants have been detected in many countries in surface and ground water after treatment in wastewater treatment plants. The presented studies concern the photocatalytic removal of one of SSRI antidepressants - sertraline from water using TiO2 photocatalyst. The process was conducted using two laboratory installations with periodic and flow reactors. Two forms of TiO2 was used in the photocatalytic reactions: suspended and supported onto a glass fabric. The studies shown that with increasing initial concentration of pharmaceutical, photoactivity decreases. For the initial concentration of 0.025 g/dm3, the best results – 94% removal – was achieved for the process conducted in the periodic reactor with TiO2 supported onto a glass fabric.
Biosorption of Cu2+ and Ni2+ Ions From Aqueous Solutions Using Waste Dried Activated Sludge Biomass
Authors: Aslan Sukru , Yildiz Sayiter , Ozturk Mustafa 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
Adsorption of Cu(II) and Ni(II) ions onto the waste powdered activated sludge biomass (PWB), which was obtained from the biological wastewater treatment plant, was investigated in this experimental study. The effects of contact time, pH, temperature, initial sorbate and sorbent concentrations on the adsorption were determined. The BET surface area, pore volume, and pore diameter of PWB were found to be about 0.51 m2/g, 0.0053 cm3/g, and 41.4 nm, respectively. Considering the R2 value, qexp and qcal, the Langmuir and Freundlich models were well described for Cu(II) and Ni(II) adsorption, respectively. The adsorption mechanism of Cu(II) and Ni(II) onto the PWB could be better simulated by the pseudo-second-order kinetic mechanism than the pseudo-fi rst-order, intra particle diffusion and Elovich models. Thermodynamic aspects of the adsorption of heavy metals were also investigated. Considering the applied desorbing agents for reuse of PWB for Ni(II) recovery, desorption cycle is not feasible due to the deterioration of the PWB structure.
Modelling and Assessment of a Single Pile Subjected to Lateral Load
Authors: Abbas Jasim M. , Chik Zamri , Taha Mohd Raihan 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
A three-dimensional finite element technique was used to analyse single pile lateral response subjected to pure lateral load. The main objective of this study is to assess the influence of the pile slenderness ratio on the lateral behaviour of single pile. The lateral single pile response in this assessment considered both lateral pile displacement and lateral soil resistance. As a result, modified p-y curves for lateral single pile response were improved when taking into account the influence lateral load magnitudes, pile cross sectional shape and flexural rigidity of the pile. The finite element method includes linear elastic, Mohr-Coulomb and 16-nodes interface models to represent the pile behaviour, soil performance and interface element, respectively. It can be concluded that the lateral pile deformation and lateral soil resistance because of the lateral load are always influenced by lateral load intensity and soil type as well as a pile slenderness ratio (L/D). The pile under an intermediate and large amount of loading (in case of cohesionless soil) has more resistance (low lateral displacement) than the pile embedded on the cohesion soil. In addition, it can be observed that the square-shaped pile is able to resist the load by about 30% more than the circular pile. On the other hand, pile in cohesionless soil was less affected by the change in EI compared with that in cohesive soil.

Published: July 2018

Background Inverted schneiderian papilloma is an entity surrounded by controversies ranging from its etiology to the indication of treatment. Any method that permits histopathological analysis without damage to the tissue studied deserves to be investigated. In this study, we tested a new noninvasive method, i.e., nasal contact endoscopy. Methods The main alterations visible on nasal contact endoscopy were described in 11 patients with inverted papilloma and in 8 patients with unilateral inflammatory nasal polyps. The characteristics showing the differentiation between the two entities were defined and these findings were presented to inexperienced examiners. Results The significant characteristics for differentiation between the two diseases were the presence of vacuolized cells, cellular heterogeneity, cell clusters, a ciliated respiratory epithelium, and vascular patterns. Two of the three examiners showed a statistically significant high rate of correct diagnosis. Conclusion Nasal contact endoscopy may be an effective method for the differential diagnosis between inverted schneiderian papilloma and inflammatory polyps even when the examiner is inexperienced.
