Problem Of Disposition Research Articles

Problems and possibilities of e-learning "Philosophy"

The article presents a meaningful analysis of strategies, problems and challenges of e-learning of philosophy. It has been found that electronic teaching of philosophy is a natural step in the technologicalization of education, caused by the general informatization of society and specific challenges of today, which make traditional education impossible. It is shown that e-Learning, on the one hand, provides a whole range of new opportunities for acquiring new knowledge of philosophy and ways of creative realization of students, but, on the other hand, is accompanied by threats of a significant change in communication, the dominance of formal and technological aspects, which increases the need for professional ability teacher to motivate and interest students.
 The paper examines the problem of disposition of e-Learning philosophy.

항공종사자에 대한 처분제도 개선방안에 관한 연구

In the aviation, airmans play a key role in aviation safety and perform tasks within a given range based on professional knowledge. If they fail to properly fulfill their obligations under the Aviation Safety Act, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport(MOLIT) will dispose of them in accordance with the purpose of the Aviation Safety Act. However, in the case of this disposition, it does not specifically consider the circumstances of the violation, and has a limitation in that the evidence regulations are too limited, and the contents of the disposition are uniform. Therefore, this study attempted to present a plan to improve the disposition in order to improve the problem of administrative disposition for airman. To this end, we conducted a comparative analysis of the disposition of airmans through overseas cases, and Specifically, the three-stage disposition model and effectiveness were conducted in the direction of specific judgment on violations and predictability of disposition. We would like to propose a safety improvement order to increase the level of safety and proposed amendments to the law for the method of imposing a fine for negligence.

THE CRITICAL THINKING DISPOSITIONS AND PROBLEM SOLVING ABILITIES AMONG NURSE MANAGEMENT IN PORT-SAID HOSPITALS

Background: Since the evolution in the scope of nursing practice, there has been greater autonomy for nurses and a growing demand for expanded critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Aim: This study aimed to find out the relationship between the critical thinking disposition of nurse managers and their problem-solving ability in Port - Said hospital Research design: A descriptive correlational design. Setting: the study conducted in two different sectorial hospitals; ministry of health and health insurance hospitals in Port -Said. Subject: this study included 103 nursing (63-nurse manager working at the ministry of health hospitals and 40-nurse manager at health insurance hospitals). Tools: California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory and Problem– Solving Questionnaire sheet. Result: the relationship between the disposition of the nursing manager toward critical thinking and problem-solving ability was statistically significant (FEP= 0.006). Conclusion: the majority of nurse managers (95.1%) had a negative disposition toward critical thinking also the majority of them (97.1%) had low problem-solving ability Recommendation: Conducting training programs to enhance nursing manager critical thinking disposition and the ability to solve the problem.

Mental health knowledge and training needs among direct care workers: a mixed methods study

ABSTRACTObjectives: Direct care providers (DCWs) spend the most time with clients in the home, and as such, play an integral role in identifying mental health problems. However, DCWs receive little preparation in mental health and there is little research regarding their role in the mental health care of clients. The purpose of this study was to explore DCWs’ knowledge, attitudes, and experiences of caring for clients with mental health problems from the perspectives of DCWs and key administrators (KAs).Method: Mixed method design. Structured interviews were conducted with DCWs. Focus groups were conducted with KAs.Results: Twenty-nine DCWs and 12 KAs took part in the study. Loneliness and memory problems in clients were the most prevalent challenges identified by DCWs. DCWs’ self-reported mental health knowledge was mid to high across all domains, although they had many misconceptions about mental health and aging. Helpful strategies in working with clients included communication skills, rapport-building, behavioral, cognitive, emotion-regulation, and making use of external resources. KAs noted individual differences in DCWs’ mental health knowledge and indicated that mental health issues were often viewed by DCWs as dispositional problems or a normal part of aging. KAs viewed DCWs’ greatest challenges as personalizing difficult client behaviors, lack of knowledge about how to manage specific behaviors, and difficulties managing their own emotions towards clients.Conclusion: Data from this study suggest important areas for DCW development. However, system issues that affect DCWs such as workload, resources, mental health stigma, and diverse client populations should be addressed concurrently.

Concentrating brine from seawater desalination process by nanofiltration–electrodialysis integrated membrane technology

Extraction and concentrating of NaCl from brine were promising technologies to solve the disposition problem of seawater desalination. A novel nanofiltration–electrodialysis (NF–ED) integrated membrane technology was proposed and investigated. The separation of monovalent & bivalent ions and concentrating of solute were realized in NF and ED process, respectively. A kind of NF membrane with high SO42− rejection and common homogeneous ion exchange membrane were investigated. The results showed that the operating pressure and feeding solution concentration have obvious effect on the water permeate flux and ions rejection ratios. Due to the special properties of NF membrane, almost all of the SO42− in the brine was rejected. The rejection of Ca2+ and Mg2+ was 40% and 87%. The concentrations of Ca2+ in permeate were 392mg/L in a brine-recycle experiment, which induce lower scaling potential when used as the raw water of ED. The highest NaCl concentration in the concentrating cell could be as high as 160g/L and the NaCl recovery was about 70% after 5h under 15V, while total concentration of “impure ions” (K+, Ca2+ and Mg2+) was about 5g/L. A concept process was also proposed attempting to realize comprehensive utilization of brine.

Creative Work of A. N. Vertinsky in the Context of the “Silver Age” Cultural Epoch as a Laminar Culture

On the basis of A. N. Vertinsky’s creative work - a precedent phenomenon of the “Silver Age” Epoch - the article analyzes key features of this cultural ontology, both exceptionally culturological and philosophical ones (perception of death, ratio of elite and mass, ethic and esthetic problems, etc.). Having analyzed the synchronous and diachronous cultural dynamics, the authors build an original conception of cultural ontologies allowing to draw some practically significant conclusions. Also, in the context of the research, the problems of disposition “the Ego - the Other” are investigated, as well as the questions of inter-stratum cultural syncretism and intertextual interactions.

The use of zirconium hydride blankets in a minor actinide/thorium burner sodium-cooled reactor for void coefficient control with particular reference to UK's plutonium disposition problem

The use of zirconium hydride (Th–ZrH1.6) blankets in a thorium-fuelled sodium-cooled reactor for void reactivity control with particular reference to UK's plutonium disposition problem is proposed and considered. It is shown that, with the use of such blankets, a mild moderation effect is produced during voiding which compensates for the general hardening of the spectrum, enabling a net negative void coefficient at pin level to be attained without the need to rely on traditional neutron leakage enhancement techniques or neutron poisons, and with negligible impact on transmutation capabilities. One important difference in comparison with the traditional methods is that the void coefficient is obtained at the pin level, eliminating or mitigating substantially the spatial dependencies on the location of the void. Combining the use of such blankets with a suitable n-batch fuelling scheme yields a negative void reactivity coefficient throughout the life of fuel. Additional research and development are required to explore further this concept's potential.

Mathematical investigation of two dimensional pattern formation

During the perinatal period the problems of drug disposition are pronounced. The adaptation from the maternal-fetal unit to extrauterine life leads to alterations in drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and renal elimination. Since both morphology and function of the alimentary tract changes, drugs are absorbed more slowly in the neonate than in older infants. Moreover, the serum protein binding of drugs is reduced in neonates. Consequently a measured plasma concentration may reflect a higher plasma/tissue level in the newborn as compared with adults. If the distribution volume of a drug corresponds to the total body water or extracellular water space, the dosage may be calculated in relation to the individual variations in the body surface area. But this procedure is not applicable for the newborn infant due to impaired metabolic functions of the liver and renal elimination mechanisms. The capacity of drug oxidation and glucuronidation is not fully developed in the neonate. Also glomerular filtration and tubular secretion are reduced during the first weeks of life. Therefore the elimination half-lives of many drugs are considerably prolonged in the newborn compared with that in older infants. As a consequence, individual therapeutic drug monitoring based on pharmacokinetic concepts and assisted by computer programs is becoming increasingly important.

The role of dispositional mindfulness in mitigating the impact of stress and impulsivity on alcohol-related problems

Excessive alcohol use and alcohol-related problems are common concerns on college campuses across the United States. Among a sample of college students (N = 125), in this study we examined two primary hypotheses: (1) the relationship between dispositional mindfulness and alcohol-related problems would be explained, in part, by reduced impulsivity and (2) dispositional mindfulness would serve as a potential protective factor in mitigating the relationship between the risk factor stressful life events and the outcome of alcohol-related problems. As expected, impulsivity mediated the relationship between mindfulness and alcohol-related problems; however, unexpectedly, mindfulness did not moderate the relationship between stressful life events and alcohol-related problems. The implications and limitations of these findings, as well as recommendations for future research, are discussed.

A Profit-Maximizing Approach to Disposition Decisions for Product Returns*

Motivated by the asset recovery process at IBM, we analyze the optimal disposition decision for product returns in electronic products industries. Returns may be either remanufactured for reselling or dismantled for spare parts. Reselling a remanufactured unit typically yields higher unit margins. However, demand is uncertain. A common policy in many firms is to rank disposition alternatives by unit margins. We propose a profit-maximization approach that considers demand uncertainty. We develop single period and multiperiod stochastic optimization models for the disposition problem. Analyzing these models, we show that the optimal allocation balances expected marginal profits across the disposition alternatives. A detailed numerical study reveals that our approach to the disposition problem outperforms the current practice of focusing exclusively on high-margin options, and we identify conditions under which this improvement is the highest. In addition, we show that a simple myopic heuristic in the multiperiod problem performs well.

Topological aspects of oligomeric UDP-glucuronosyltransferases in endoplasmic reticulum membranes: Advances and open questions

UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) represent major Phase II enzymes involved in detoxification of endo- and xenobiotics, including many drugs. The intraluminal orientation of the active site of UGTs in endoplasmic reticulum membranes necessitates a number of transporters in these membranes, for example, for UDP-glucuronic acid and glucuronides, the latter being insufficiently characterized. In addition, accumulating evidence suggests that UGTs are functional as homo- and heterodimers in monoglucuronide formation. They may form tetramers in diglucuronide formation. UGT oligomers probably serve to stabilize UGT monomers and fine-tune UGT activity. Glucuronide disposition may also be influenced by endoplasmic reticulum-localized β-glucuronidase, possibly involved in hydrolysis of hormone and drug glucuronides in target cells. The present commentary reviews recent advances and addresses open questions. Resolution of these questions may help to understand many problems of glucuronide synthesis and disposition in vivo, for example, under-prediction of the in vivo clearance of drugs mostly eliminated by glucuronidation by in vitro enzyme kinetic parameters of UGTs.

Risk Assessment of Juvenile Sex Offenders: A Case Report

ABSTRACT Juvenile sex offenders have received increased scrutiny in recent years. They present significant dispositional problems for the courts and for social service agencies. Numerous disposition decisions are made based on considerations of risk of sexual reoffense. However, little empirical data exist regarding identified recidivism risk factors for this population. Massachusetts' legal standards require a finding of a “likelihood of serious harm” in order for juveniles to be retained by the Department of Youth Services beyond their eighteenth birthdays. There is a limited understanding of juvenile sex offender recidivism risk factors; yet, risk assessments of this type are statutorily required. This article presents an illustrative Massachusetts case and discusses limitations inherent in such an assessment.

Heavy Metals in Soil Treated with Sewage Sludge Composting, their Effect on Yield and Uptake of Broad Bean Seeds (Vicia faba L.)

The final use that may be given to biosolids that result from the treatment of residual municipal waters depends on their physicochemical and microbiological characteristics. Their organic matter content and wealth of essential elements may allow their use for agricultural fertilization purposes. The objective of this research project was to evaluate the physicochemical interactions between soil treated with biosolids and compost from municipal residual waters, and the nutritional parameters of broad bean seeds (Vicia faba L.). The studied area is located in the central region of the Mexican Republic. The biosolids were treated with aerated static pile composting. The experimental work was performed in the area surrounding the East Toluca Macroplant, where nine 2 × 3 m plots were defined and distributed in a Latin square; 3 plots were used as controls (without conditioning), 3 were conditioned with 4.5 Mg ha−1 of biosolids on a dry base, and 3 were conditioned with the same amount of compost. The parameters determined for biosolids, compost, and soil were: pH, electrical conductivity (EC), organic matter (OM), total nitrogen, available phosphorus, cation exchange capacity (CEC), exchangeable cations (Ca, Mg, Na and K), total and available heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni and Zn); for the plant: height reached, green seeds productivity and yield per treatment (ton ha−1); for the seeds: humidity, ashes, fiber, fats, protein, starch and total and available heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni and Zn). pH was slightly acid in soil treated with biosolids (6.71). OM and CEC did not represent significant differences. Total concentrations of Cr, Zn, Ni and Cu in soil presented significant differences (p < 0.05) between treated soil and the control, Cd was not detected. Cu was the most available metal in soil treated with compost (15.31%), Cd and Cr were not detected. The plants had higher growth rates with biosolids (112.22 cm) and compost (103.73 cm); higher green broad bean productivity and higher seed yield, especially in plots containing biosolids, which had rates three times higher than the control. In regards to broad bean seeds, content of ashes, fiber, fats, protein, starch and heavy metals (Cu, Ni and Zn), there were no significant differences between the treatments. Cd and Cr were not detected. In conclusion, it has been proven that the use of biosolids and compost studied in this broad bean crop do not involve an environmental risk, and thus give way to a solution to the problem of final disposition of biosolids in the region.

Urban agglomerations in the function of regional integration of Serbia in South-Eastern Europe

In this article is analyzed the importance of urban agglomerations in the regional organization of Serbian space at one side, and on the other side they are taken as carriers of the future integration of the Serbian urban system into the urban of the South-Eastern Europe (SEE). In the regional configuration of Serbia, more different forms of territorial impacts of urbanization, urban areas and urban regions. High level of urban centralization is formed under the influence of the population density and functions of the metropolitan area of Belgrade. The problems of unbalanced disposition of population growth and qualitative transformation of urban centers are stressed and analyzed. Based on the role in integration process in the SEE, the metropolitan region of Belgrade is pointed out as its principal carrier and the metropolitan region of Nis as its secondary carrier, as well as the urban centers of importance for the cross-border regional cooperation. As the most suitable instrument of internal regional integration the model of Functional Urban Regions (FURs) or Functional Urban Areas (FUAs) is proposed, and for external regional integration is proposed the model of Metropolitan European Growth Areas (MEGAs). The coherent short-term and long-term development strategies for Serbian towns and their regions seem absent.

Online train disposition: To wait or not to wait?

We deal with an online problem arising from bus/tram/train disposition problems. In particular, we look at the case in which the delay is unknown and the vehicle can only wait in a station so as to minimize the passengers waiting time.

A Web of Interests: Stalemate on the Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel

The United States has adopted a policy of geological disposal to resolve the problem of permanent disposition of highly radioactive spent nuclear fuel (SNF), but has been unable to implement this policy. This study draws upon literature on policymaking and interest group representation to examine that inability. It develops and explores a conceptualization of policy stalemate to analyze the case.The study finds that the United States has arrived at a stalemate over SNF disposal policy in part because of its pluralist system of interest group representation, and in part because of the nature of the problem. The case demonstrates how, in a pluralist system, the interaction of interests over a complex and difficult policy problem can result in stalemate. Few of the involved interest groups have sufficient incentives to either implement current SNF disposal policy or to revisit the policy. Barring significant change in the nature of the problem, the balance of interests, or other factors in the policy environment, the stalemate will continue.The central question of this symposium is how institutionalized systems of interest group representation manage competing demands for environmental protection with demands for energy. In the case of SNF disposal, the United States in effect is managing these competing demands by not addressing them. SNF disposal policy does not appear to pose directly the expected tradeoff between demands for environmental protection and accessible energy, as the conflict tends to be defined primarily in environmental terms. However, the trade‐off is implicit; failure to resolve the problem will eventually impact continued access to nuclear energy.
