EFEKTIFITAS IZIN ATASAN DALAM PERCERAIAN APARATUR SIPIL NEGARA DI WILAYAH HUKUM PENGADILAN AGAMA LIMBOTO

Divorce of State Civil Apparatus (ASN) was regulated in accordance with the provisions of PP. 45 in 1990 who must obtain permission from superiors. This research discussed about the effectiveness of superior�s permission to Divorce of Civil State Apparatus (ASN) and consideration factor by superiors in granting divorce permit for state Civil Apparatus (ASN) in Limboto Religious courts area.these research used descriptive qualitative method.types of data are sourced primary and secondary data by technique of collecting through depth interview as well as analysis of document case divorce.checking the validity of data is done through triangulation process.processing and data analysis done through data presentation,verivication,and conclusion.
 The result showed that ASN superiors who applied for divorce were effective in minimizing ASN divorce in limboto religious courts area.the effectiveness of the regulation of ASN suvervisor�s permission is shown by five indicators of legal effectiveness (read:regulation of the superior�s permission) ASN,namely:(1) understanding of the divorce regulation of ASN divorce(2)socialization of ASN divorce supervisor�s license (3)enforcement of regulation(4)level ofcommunity participation of ASN (5)creation of community life in the limboto religious courts area.
 There are th of three indicators that indicators that get positive responses namely; (1) understanding of the superior�s license,(2) socialization of the regulation of superior�s,(3) the importance of the ASN divorce superior�s liense to the creation of community lifestyle.the other aspects are: (1) law enforcement and (2) publick participation in realizing the licence of the superior divorce of ASN in the jurisdiction of limboto religious court area is stiil low.
 The ASN superior�s consideration factor in giving ASN divorce permit is because the parties have no desire improve the household relationship,change of faith,are not enough reason for divorce and to protect the child�s life from negative effect because of bad communication relationship of parents.
 As recommendation of this policy recommendation, this research is hoped that the religious courts and officials authorized give and refuse permission in order to combined the government regulation concerning marriage and divorce for civil servants can be maximized its enforcement.similarly to the officers of personnel development in the Gorontalo regency and north Gorontalo regency to optimize legal certainty and continuous monitoring infractions committed by ASN.

Battlefield situation awareness and networking based on agent distributed computing

The battlefield environment is complex and changeable, and there are complex terrain features and bad electromagnetic communication environment. At the present stage, the battlefield reconnaissance and communication network mainly depends on the cooperation of soldiers. With the development of unmanned aerial vehicle and pilotless technology, in the background of information warfare, the use of mobile agents to complete the formation of battlefield communication networks and the battlefield situation awareness has become a new trend. The Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) technology is becoming more and more mature, and its distribution, synergy, parallelism, robustness and intelligence provide the basic conditions for the construction of a battlefield self organizing network. In this paper, we use UAVs and unmanned combat vehicles to build a mobile ad hoc network that meets the conditions of the battlefield. The network can solve the problem of slow convergence or non convergence of the traditional self-organizing network without relying on the fixed basic network facilities, which has the characteristics of rapid expansion, strong destruction resistance and no centrality. So it can meet the needs of communication in the battlefield. In this process, we combine the A star algorithm with the ant colony algorithm to realize the real-time path planning in combination with the edge computing power of the agent and the battlefield situation collected by the sensor, and the battlefield aggregation and search task can be completed quickly. And according to the planned route, the route forwarding strategy under known path is used to complete the information transmission.

COMMUNICABLE COMPETENCE AND MANAGEMENT OF CONFLICTS IN THE HEALTH MANAGER'S ACTIVITY

Every organization in which people interact has potential for conflict. Health institutions include many interacting groups and teams that can be a source of conflict. In most cases the root of all problems lie in a broken or bad communication. A classic option for a conflict situation is the lack of feedback between the superiors /managers/ and the inferiors /executives/. When there is no dialogue between the levels in the hierarchy, solving even a minor conflict is really a difficult task. There are still not many health organizations in our country where there is an awareness of the enormous role of the proper implementation of the internal communications in order to achieve efficiency. The failure of a constructive tackling of conflicts destroys relationships rather more than their existence. This fact shows the need for preventive measures and clever conflict management. Own studies among 313 healthcare managers and 1171 health professionals from the hospital care in Bulgaria indicate the needful behavioral competencies necessary for the effective implementation of the managerial functions at operational and team level in healthcare practice.Methods used: documentary method - national and European documents have been studied; survey method - direct survey; semi-structured interview; statistical methods. The results show that on the first place, among the leadership skills, respondents put communicative skills, followed by skills to plan, set targets and set up a team. Leadership in the work of the health manager is a responsibility that involves developing and directing the full potential of people, teams and organizations. An important part of this process is the ability to resolve conflicts. The management style of the manager determines to a great extent how the problems will be solved (or deepened). Their timely and effective resolution is essential for improving the microclimate in the health care facility and achieving higher results. Conflict behavior is а result of the personal attitude and the requirements of the situation. Styles are a reflection of personal beliefs, values, and motives that form conflict behavior in a certain, sequential direction.An effective health manager is able to use varied approaches according to differences and to choose a specific approach based on the diagnostic self-knowledge and understanding of the factors he faces. The successful conflict management techniques are based on the importance of communication, persistent dialogue, disciplinary measures and control. There is no doubt that the success of the health manager and the medical establishment depends on such personal qualities as: communication skills, motivation, personal responsibility, leadership, trusting relationships. The more effective internal communications, the more successful the organization itself is. An effective approach to reducing conflicts in the organization - both interpersonal and intergroup – is the building of a unique culture at the healthcare institution that facilitates the development of naturally occurring processes and affirms the ethical side of behavior and communication.

A GOOD ADVISOR

ABSTRACTEffective education requires strategic consideration. If students doubt the motives of teachers and advisors, then students rationally ignore the advice they receive. Valuable information is lost in such bad communication outcomes and, consequently, the quality of education suffers. In this paper, we argue that an advisor's sacrifice is an essential virtue of a good advisor for efficient communication between an advisor and a student. We model the relation between them as a signaling game. We find a separating equilibrium in which a good advisor (whose objective function truly coincides with the student's own objective function) makes a costly sacrifice that causes the student to believe what the advisor says, while a non‐good advisor (whose objective does not coincide with the student's) chooses not to make the costly sacrifice and, consequently, the student completely ignores the advisor. In fact, it turns out to be the unique equilibrium that survives the Intuitive Criterion. The model demonstrates the importance of making students aware of those aspects of the advisor's objectives that students may not realize are closely aligned with their own (e.g., the extent to which an advisor cares about students' academic and professional trajectories as evaluated by students themselves).

Good boss, bad boss, workers’ mental health and productivity: Evidence from Japan

It is widely believed that the relationship between a supervisor and his/her employees greatly affects employees’ well-being and/or productivity. However, only a few papers in the economics literature analyze how supervisors influence employees’ well-being and enhance productivity. This paper uses longitudinal data of employees with information about their immediate bosses’ ability, management skills, and characteristics (such as competency, communication skills, and personality traits) to investigate the influence of supervisors on employees. The main findings are as follows. First, even after controlling for individual-specific fixed effects and other job characteristics, such as those proposed in the job strain model, we find that supervisors’ good communication with staff and competency in managerial tasks significantly improve employees’ mental health. Second, we find that good communication between the boss and his/her staff enhances the latter’s productivity and lowers presenteeism. Third, supervisors’ bad communication and low competency increase the probability of quitting. Fourth, good communication partially depends on boss–staff compatibility, which is governed in part by their combined personality traits.

Factors Influencing Employee Job Satisfaction: A Conceptual Analysis

As environment become increasingly dynamic, innovation is getting more and more important. The most effective sources of innovation are often ideas emerged from within an organization, usually from employees. High turnover and low productivity which badly affect an organization can be the result job dissatisfaction. Understanding the factors that contribute to job satisfaction is essential because it helps to identify the reasons and areas which employees are not satisfied with. Through this understanding, changes and adjustments of organizational policies, organization structure and job design can be altered to enhance the level of employee job satisfaction. This study only focused on three most common prevailing factors which are job stress, lack of communication, and pay that influence job satisfaction at workplace. Job stress has been generally defined as a factor which has negative impact on job satisfaction. The higher the stress level is, the more likely that an employee is not happy and not satisfied with his job. Lack of communication or bad communication dampens employees’ job satisfaction because employees tend to perform at a lower level when they feel neglected. Besides, lack of communication can also lead to confusion between management and other employees throughout the organization which might incur frustration and resentment. Employees need to feel appreciated, as employees and as human. Employee’s job satisfaction and organizational retention rate can be boosted through a healthy compensation plan with room for bonuses and pay rises. Through the understanding of the factors, organizations can be aware of the symptoms beforehand and take precaution to support and increase the job satisfaction level of employees. In order for an organization to sustain and grow its business, job satisfaction is the long term solution for talent retention and increased performance and productivity.

Phages Make for Jolly Good Stories.

Phage therapy has an intriguing history. It was widely used from the 1920s until the 1940s. After this period, it was nearly completely forgotten in the Western world, while it continued to be used in the Soviet part of the globe. The study of the history of phage therapy provides valuable input into the present development of the field. Science journalists uncovered much of this history and played an important role in the communication of phage therapy after the fall of the Soviet Union, when it came to the attention of Western researchers and doctors. This interest was fueled by the antibiotic resistance crisis. At this time, communication about phage therapy had a wide potential audience, that encompassed medical experts and researchers, as well as the public, because knowledge about this forgotten therapy was very limited. In such a situation, good communication had and still has the potential to catalyze important discussions among different groups; whereas, bad communication could have considerably hindered and still can hinder the possible renaissance of phage therapy.

Breaking bad news in the emergency department: a comparative analysis among residents, patients and family members' perceptions.

Our main objective was to assess patient and family members' perception of bad news communication in the emergency department (ED) and compare these with physicians' perceptions. This is a cross-sectional study carried out at the ED of a tertiary teaching hospital. To compare physicians' and receivers' (patient and/or family member) perceptions, we created a survey based on the six attributes derived from the SPIKES protocol. The surveys were applied immediately after communication of bad news occurred in the ED. We analyzed agreement among participants using κ-statistics and the χ-test to compare proportions. A total of 73 bad news communication encounters were analyzed. The survey respondents were 73 physicians, 69 family members, and four patients. In general, there is a low level of agreement between physicians' and receivers' perceptions of how breaking bad news transpired. The satisfaction level of receivers, in terms of breaking bad news by doctors, presented a mean of 3.7±0.6 points. In contrast, the physicians' perception of the communication was worse (2.9±0.6 points), with P value less than 0.001. Doctors and receivers disagree in relation to what transpired throughout bad news communications. Discrepancies were more evident in issues involving emotion, invitation, and privacy. An important agreement between perceptions was found in technical and knowledge-related aspects of the communication.

Time Management of Tuzla University Clinical Center Health Managers.

Introduction:Time management is an important aspect of successful leadership and involves mastering your own work and time instead of allowing them to master you. Time management is a daily process that is applied in order to rationally use time, work schedules, lists of tasks, delegation of responsibilities and everything else that helps to efficiently use time.Material and methods:This research was prospective, descriptive, analytical and controlled. There was 100 medical worker involved, who have managing jobs of different levels and 100 medical workers who do not have managing jobs, who represented the control group. The questionnaire on „time stealers“ according to Sewert. Demographic data was gathered according to the questionnaire on self construction.Results and Conclusions:Based on conducted research, it was established that there were differences in frequencies of certain „time stealers“ in managers of different levels of University Clinical Center Tuzla; the „time stealers“ are more frequent among these with shorter length of service; These differences are significantly more frequent (p<0.05) for some questions e.g. being distracted by phone calls, meetings that are held just for the sake of having a meetings, insufficient, one-way or bad communication with superiors, and have negative effects on management of business hours.

Communication Issues in End-of-Life Care - An African Setting Experience

Communications with patients and family around End-of-life care issues in any society could be very challenging. Hitherto, in some African settings communicating bad or death news is usually handled and effectively managed by the support of the community. Clinical bad news, dying and death in the hospital setting can only be best approached in an interdisciplinary or by a multidisciplinary team. Bad news is a message, with a potential of shattering hopes and dreams that often times provoke cognitive, behavioural, affective and spiritual distress and pains as evident in some life-threatening illnesses like Cancer and HIV/AIDS. Clinical competencies should include skills to break bad or difficult news tactically to ensure better psychological adjustment by the patient and family members, and also reduces stress on everyone including the health care professionals. The clinicians can make the news worse if not empathically delivered and also have the task of empowering the patient towards attaining a realistic hope. Adjustment to bad news may take time and is similar to a process of grief or loss. Bad or difficult news communication training to health care providers has largely been limited in Nigeria. An interactive experiential adult learning approach can be effective in communication skills training for health care providers especially among palliative care practitioners as most clinicians missed this skill at the undergraduate training.

Reaping strategic data benefits from mandatory trade reporting projects

Due to differing data standards and protocols across jurisdictions, interpretation is key when it comes to implementing the regulatory directives formulated at the Pittsburgh G20 summit. The core principles of the G20 conclusions were meant to increase transparency and reduce counterparty risk around OTC Derivatives. However, data and processing fragmentation presents a huge challenge to effective compliance. This paper discusses the challenges of reporting cross asset trades, and analyses the difficulties that can occur due to multiple asset classes being in use, ‘unclean’ division between product silos, or taxonomies being difficult to map, all of which can result from bad communication due to lack of familiarity with reporting methodology or data being stored in different generations on different systems. The key is to face an on-going series of storms rather than a single ‘tsunami’ of regulation. Many are now realising that a more strategic approach must be taken, so the paper looks at the challenges around reporting cross asset trades. Front-ending challenges rather than cobbling together a solution in order to meet the deadlines can reap rewards in the long term, as can sourcing accurate and comprehensive data from your trading systems, mapping data to the regulatory format, and data enrichment to fill in gaps which stem from unclean data storage.

Disinformation Society, communication and cosmopolitan democracy

This paper argues that ‘fake news’ is endemic to ‘information society’ as a whole, not just the internet or news media. It is part of daily experience, generated by established patterns of communication, social group categorisation, framing, and patterns of power. These disruptions are intensified though interacting with the dynamics of information capitalism, which values strategic effectiveness more than accuracy. Assuming democratic cosmopolitan society must have good communication, this paper explores the factors which produce obstacles to such communicative processes, as the patterns which support bad communication and disinformation must be understood before they can be dealt with.

Doctor-outpatient communications in Chinese public hospitals: a cross-sectional survey

BackgroundCommunication can be seen as the important component in medical care. The improvement of doctor-outpatient communication can improve not only the doctor-patient relationship, but also the quality of health care. In this study, we aimed to estimate whether the doctor-outpatient communication experience is satisfactory in Chinese public hospitals and how various factors affect this experience. MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, we used a typical sampling survey. Six sample hospitals were chosen by typical sampling method, and in each hospital, 100 outpatients were invited to participate in the survey when they ended their visits. The respondents were a random sample of 300 outpatients from three tertiary hospitals and 300 outpatients from three secondary hospitals in the Hubei Province, China. We used EpiData 3.1 to establish the database and SPSS19.0 to perform the related statistical analysis. A five-point Likert scale was used in the questionnaire, in which 5 meant best experience and 1 meant worst experience. The total communication experience score was the mean of all item scores and we rated scores under 3 as “bad” communication experience. We used the one-way ANOVA method and multiple linear regression to assess difference between doctor-patient communication experience and the demographic variables and how it influenced the experience. Written ethical approval of the study was obtained from the Ethics Committee of Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology (IORG Number IORG0003571). Verbal informed consent was also obtained before the survey. Findings600 outpatients participated in the survey between July 5, 2015, and July 22, 2015, and 583 questionnaires were valid. 11·22% of the 583 outpatients had bad doctor-patient communication experience. The mean score of doctor-patient communication experience was 3·72 (SD 0·66). According to the result, the experience dimension of the clarity of doctors' explanation got the highest score (4·12 [0·71]), and the experience of the degree of outpatients' participation in decision-making got the lowest score (3·21 [1·07]). Besides, the age, self-perceived health status, and the type of payment affected communication experience (the standard coefficient were: 0·195 for age, 0·219 for health status, and 0·193 for type of payment, p<0·001 for each), and those socio-demographic factors were positively associated with doctor-patient communication experience. Moreover, the communication experience in the secondary hospitals (3·82 [0·61]) was better than in tertiary hospitals (3·61 [0·68]), p<0·001). InterpretationThe doctor-patient communication experience needs to be improved. Patients of younger age (<65 years), patients with bad self-perceived health status, and patients who pay out-of-pocket totally have worse communication experience, probably because the patients of younger age and those with bad self-perceived health status have higher communication demands, and the patients who pay out-of-pocket totally have higher expectations for communication. The overload of doctors in tertiary hospitals could mean that they have not enough energy and time to communicate with patients, leading to poor communication experience for patients. Useful ways to improve the outpatients' communication experience include taking measures to meet the needs of different outpatients by concentrating more on their age, health status, and payment type, giving outpatients more opportunities to participate in medical decision-making, and strengthening the system of triage.

Phubbing: A Technological Invasion Which Connected the World But Disconnected Humans

The use of social networking sites and other mobile applications have been growing intensively. Several researches indicated that it is one of the factors that impact the relationship maintenance between one another. It is highly desirable for all citizens to have a good interpersonal communication to maintain and develop further relationships. Bad communication skills may have harmed the interpersonal relationships. With technology advancing, Smartphone’s play an important part in people’s lives. It’s easy to see people talking, slipping, or even playing on their phones in public places. Certainly, when people are concentrating on the small screens in hands, they won’t care about their plights. So the probability of an accident is higher than before. Some countries even set up the “mobile phone sidewalk” to reduce potential hazards. But that is just palliatives. People needed to find a solution that “describe the annoying situation and further remind people to put their phones down, and get talking to each other again.”In response to this request, a new word “phubbing” was created.

Bad communication, bad service

ABSTRACTA customer of VistaBanking (name disguised), who is their brand preference, loses their credit card and wants to cancel the card before any fraudulent activities take place. While calling the VistaBanking service number, the customer has troubles being able to understand the questions being asked so is then transferred to another representative for clearer communication. When transferred, more problems start to occur with not being able to cancel the credit card and the customer gets transferred to another part of the company. This then causes the customer to get very irritated and not get the help needed about the credit card they have lost. This arrangement is a negative trade talk highlighting the customer service to loyal customer communication relationship.

Gender Difference in Self-Reported Preparedness for Clinical Practice among House Officer Junior Doctors of Al Azhar University in Cairo

Background: the successful completion of medical school education should provide students with a level of knowledge and skills necessary to fulfill a junior doctor’s daily duties at hospital. As regard gender some researchers concluded that women outperform men in academic and clinical assessment at medical schools. There are no reasons to suppose that female students leave medical school less prepared than men for work. Aim of the work: this study aimed to clarify whether there are gender difference in house officers' view for preparedness for work or not, and to demonstrate strength and weakness points regarding their undergraduate medical education. Subjects and Methods: the current study is a cross sectional comparative one. It was conducted on 51 house officers’ (HOs) females from Al Zahraa University Hospital compared to 100 male HOs recruited from Al Hussien and Sayed Galal University Hospitals about how much they feel prepared to medical practice. All the questionarable items were arranged in 8 domains of educational goals adopted according to NARS , requirements and from ''preparedness for Hospital Practice'' survey. Results: the results showed that 96.1% of females felt sufficient preparedness for clinical work compared to 79.0% of males, 72.5% and 35.3% of females felt somewhat adequate preparedness in understanding the disease process and carrying out arterial blood gases respectively versus 40.0% and 28.0% of males while males felt adequate preparedness in all elements of interpersonal skills than females. In addition, it was found that understanding the interaction of social factors with disease, approach confidently senior staff for help in interpreting investigations, manage time effectively; score of patient management and prevention were significant predictor of preparedness for clinical work; while gender was not significant in the regression model. Conclusion: female house officers felt more sufficient well prepared than male ones. However gender was not a significant predictor of performance. More emphasis on weakness points recorded by the two groups as defect in some medical skills as write prescription, gap between knowledge and practice, bad communication with the teaching staff and dealing with patient to improve feeling of preparedness .

Multi-pair two-way relaying systems with physical layer network coding

Physical layer network coding (PNC) significantly improves the throughput of the two-way relay channel (TWRC). However, most of current work on PNC just focuses on one pair users, and there are limit work on multi-pair PNC, in which the main bottleneck on system performance is the interference caused by the remaining communicating pairs. In this paper, we consider a scenario where multiple pairs communicate with each other through one relay node. For a purpose of comparison, we present the analytical capacities of the multi-pair version of the existing TWRC schemes in closed forms. Considering more practical issues such as the direction distribution of incident signals, we propose a spatial multi-pair physical layer network coding scheme. The novelty includes: in the multiple access phase, the log likelihood ratio combination scheme is proposed, which is robust in bad communication conditions; in the broadcast phase, two adaptive group broadcasting schemes are proposed, which can efficiently overcome the near interference problem. Simulation results validate the superiority of the proposed algorithms.

Development of a standard documentation protocol for communicating exposure models

An important step in building a computational model is its documentation; a comprehensive and structured documentation can improve the model applicability and transparency in science/research and for regulatory purposes. This is particularly crucial and challenging for environmental and/or human exposure models that aim to establish quantitative relationships between personal exposure levels and their determinants. Exposure models simulate the transport and fate of a contaminant from the source to the receptor and may involve a large set of entities (e.g. all the media the contaminants may pass though). Such complex models are difficult to be described in a comprehensive, unambiguous and accessible way. Bad communication of assumptions, theory, structure and/or parameterization can lead to lack of confidence by the user and it may be source of errors.The goal of this paper is to propose a standard documentation protocol (SDP) for exposure models, i.e. a generic format and a standard structure by which all exposure models could be documented. For this purpose, a CEN (European Committee for Standardisation) workshop was set up with objective to agree on minimum requirements for the amount and type of information to be provided on exposure models documentation along with guidelines for the structure and presentation of the information. The resulting CEN workshop agreement (CWA) was expected to facilitate a more rigorous formulation of exposure models description and the understanding by users. This paper intends to describe the process followed for defining the SDP, the standardisation approach, as well as the main components of the SDP resulting from a wide consultation of interested stakeholders. The main outcome is a CEN CWA which establishes terms and definitions for exposure models and their elements, specifies minimum requirements for the amount and type of information to be documented, and proposes a structure for communicating the documentation to different users.

Knowledge, Attitude and Behavior of Health College Students Related to Drug Abuse

Introduction: This study was conducted to examine the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of nursing students related to drug abuse. Method: The sample of this study that is descriptive in nature formed by 238 students studying in the first class of Adnan Menderes University Health College Nursing Department. A questionnaire that questions the socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge, attitudes and behaviors about drug abuse and that consists of a total of 42 questions was used. Results: In the study, 41,6% of the students were aware of the effects of drugs and 78.6% of them thought that drug abuse could be controlled if desired. According to 42% of the students, drug abuse by the young resulted from bad communication between parents and children. It was detected that 16.4% of the students currently smoked, 11.3% of them currently used alcohol, 2.5% of them had tried drug before. In the study, a statistically significant difference was found between the prevalence of smoking and drinking alcohol according to genders, smoking initiation age, family type and drug trial behaviors (p

Communicating with stakeholders when bad news is uncertain

This paper explores the question of if and when organizations should communicate bad news to their stakeholders. I argue that stakeholder theory provides an ethical obligation for organizations to communicate bad news that has potential impacts on their stakeholders but does not answer the question of when this bad news should be communicated. The literature on crisis communication recommends communicating quickly and persuasively to minimize losses but predominantly relies on one-way communication approaches. In this paper I argue that under conditions of uncertainty, when the bad news suffers from an unknown cause or unclear problem definition, both stakeholder theory and the crisis communication literature fail to inform the organization how they should act. In order to provide additional guidelines to organizations, I propose a typology of uncertain bad news that provides contextual communication strategies to organizations when they experience a bad news events. These bad news communication strategies will allow organizations to fulfill their ethical obligations while minimizing the negative impact of the bad news on their stakeholders.
