Coordination and quality assurance through a programme for official statistics: The Norwegian case

During the last few years, coordination and cooperation in the production of official statistics have been emphasised in the international statistical community. Updated versions of quality frameworks strengthen coordination as a key for improving the quality of official statistics. Quality requirements for such statistics have been clarified. This is also reflected in amended or new statistical legislation. In Norway a new statistics act was adopted in 2019, prescribing a multiannual programme for official statistics. The first draft programme has been prepared by Statistics Norway in cooperation with other producers of such statistics. It was adopted by the Government at the end of 2020. The programme defines requirements for and the content of official statistics, and which authorities will be responsible for the production of these statistics. This paper considers how a programme for official statistics can promote coordination, cooperation and quality improvements of official statistics. Preparing the programme for Norway has revealed some challenges which are discussed. These comprise issues linked to professional independence and impartiality of producers of official statistics and the relationship between official statistics and management information. Reflections on these challenges and how they are resolved are important to establish a good understanding of the concept “official statistics”.

СОХРАНЕНИЕ ЯЗЫКОВОГО РАЗНООБРАЗИЯ РОССИИ: КОНТУРЫ ПРОГРАММЫ

This article proposes a draft program of preserving the linguistic diversity of Russia, as conceived from a linguist’s perspective. The process of mass extinction of languages accelerates in Russia, and the society must give indigenous language speakers and linguistic communities a chance to preserve their languages. The proposed program for the preservation of linguistic diversity is based on the fact that languages are acquired in early childhood in a spoken vernacular form, and it is this process of natural acquisition that must be supported in the fi rst place. Various linguistic situations call for different forms of support. Three necessary conditions of linguistic revitalization include key participation of local activists, administrative and monetary support, and scientifi cally grounded methodology. The feasibility of the program is provided by three considerations including the manageable number of the languages of Russia, the availability of substantial prior experience accumulated in the world, and the centralized character of the Russian state.

The article provides a brief analysis of the condition of the National transport network NISM (national information superhighway) based on fiber-optic communication lines, where work is being carried out on the construction of the DWDM backbone network (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing), increasing the power of external Internet channels, expanding the installed capacity of the DWDM backbone network equipment, ensuring traffic protection, and building a fiber-optic network to connect new corporate clients. The article also provides information about the state Program "Digital Kazakhstan", which aims to accelerate economic development and improve the quality of life of the population through the use of modern digital technologies in the future and create a digital economy of the future in the long term. Brief information on the draft program for the introduction of broadband Internet access for SNP was provided (Rural localities), where the basis for the implementation of this program is the FOCL. The features of the fiber-optic cable where the main element is the optical fiber (OF), are reflected. OF is currently considered the most advanced medium for transmitting information, which allows you to transfer large flows of information over long distances without additional costs. Attention is paid to the issues of designing the FOL, which consists of several stages and documents. Also, attention is paid to the problems in the design of the FOCL. In order to reduce the time of development of projects on FOCL, it is recommended to use electronic tools, among which we can highlight the program "Calculation of self-supporting cables" of Incab. At the end of the article, information about the methods of construction of the FOCL is briefly given, as well as a description of the experiment, the results of the study and the conclusion. Subject of research. The subject of the article is modern methods of design and construction of fiber optic systems. Purpose of work. To consider modern methods of design and construction of FOCL on the example of the city of Almaty (a suburban area with a complex mountain terrain). Methodology and methods. The research is based on the analysis of the National superhighway, the "Digital Kazakhstan" Program, as well as the program for the introduction of broadband Internet access for rural localities, which is based on the FOCL. A brief analysis of the transport network of communication (telecommunications) in the territory of Almaty with different types of technologies such as PDH, SDH and gradually introduced new technology DWDM.

Научно-технологические детерминанты стратегии инновационного развития

The subject content of the work is domestic innovative development, the theme – scientific and technological aspects, and purpose – consideration of the determinants of the current Strategy until 2020 and prospective one – anticipated Strategy until 2030. The Methodology of work is the application of elements of system analysis (taken and expected government decisions) in the field of innovation research and technological development relating to directions, outcomes, determinants, indicators, challenges and priorities. The research is based on the general scientific method (problem statement, information-analytical generalizations, classification and analogies, analysis and synthesis, inductive-deductive approach). The results of the work consist in the formulation of scientific and technological determinants of innovative development. The application scope of the results is the strategy of innovative development until 2030. Conclusion. The strategy of innovative development until 2020 takes into account the bases of strategic planning and scientific and technological development of the country, the selected model and the tempos of innovative development take into account the world experience and domestic characteristics, aimed at parity-adapted integration into the world economy, contribute to reducing the retardation from developed countries. Step-by-step formulation of scientific and technological determinants of innovation Strategy until 2030 can be expected from the discussed draft Program «Scientific and technological development of the Russian Federation for 2019–2030». For comparative and analytical clarification of the development model (within the framework of the Strategy until 2030), it is important to display its innovative characteristics (scientific and technical novelty, satisfaction of market demand, tradability) against the background of global trends and projected features of the «road map» of the new technological mode. At the same time, the scientific and technological determinants of innovative development will definitely remain trans-parently oriented priority areas for the development of science, technology and technology, critical technologies and technological platforms. In addition, due to the multiplicative role of attracted investments in the growth of national income and employment, it seems promising to continue to remove obstacles to the development of public-private partnerships; although, in order to increase the level of technological development of the private sector and change for the better the unsatisfactory financing of R&D by business, in the foreseeable future, limited state protectionism is intended to initiate demand for innovations.

Evaluating the helpfulness of a co-construction approach to career learning and development programme design

My research explored the helpfulness of co-constructing a career learning and development (CLD) programme with and for adults with mental health challenges. Following a literature review, I adopted a participatory action research strategy, aiming to position a client of the charity where my research was based as a partner in programme design. Emerging themes from semi-structured interviews offered insights into client requirements and concerns, enabling draft programme creation and refinement. In this context, co-construction facilitated delivery of a client-focused, theory-based CLD programme, offering a valuable practitioner learning opportunity, and a vehicle to challenge power relations and pursue emancipatory practice.

On the draft program for basic scientific research in the Russian Federation for the long term. Report by the RAS academician V.V. Kozlov

In his report, Vice-President of the RAS, Academician V.V. Kozlov gave an account of the preparation of the draft Program for Basic Scientific Research in the Russian Federation for the Long Term, specified the legal grounds for this document, and addressed the issue of the resourcing of program implementation. V.V. Kozlov noted that the 15-year planning horizon looks unrealistic with regards to basic scientific research. Therefore, the inter-departmental working group that is preparing the draft program proposes analyzing the results every 5 years and amending the document, if necessary. He also emphasized that Russia will not be able to make it into the Top 5 leading countries in priority scientific areas unless research funding is significantly increased-by approximately by 2.5 times.

The evaluation of an online mindfulness program for people with multiple sclerosis: study protocol

BackgroundMultiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease of the central nervous system and is associated with many psychosocial symptoms that are difficult to manage including low mood, anxiety, fatigue and pain, as well as low health-related quality of life. Internet-based psychosocial interventions that use mindfulness-based approaches are gathering much attention in recent literature, particularly in the treatment of chronic illnesses. However, no large randomized controlled trials have been done examining the efficacy of such interventions for people with MS (PwMS).Methods/designThis study is a randomised controlled trial of an online mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) for PwMS. Participants will be randomised to receive either the MBI or offered the intervention after a waiting period. All participants will be assessed to determine whether they have a history of recurrent depressive disorder. The primary outcome will be severity of depression, according to the Centre of Epidemiology Depression Scale. Secondary outcomes will be anxiety severity, fatigue, pain and quality of life. Assessments will be conducted pre, post-treatment, at three and six-month follow-up. The online mindfulness-based program was developed in collaboration with end-users (n = 19 PwMS) who gave feedback about what would be feasible and acceptable, and the draft program was reviewed by both experts and patients.DiscussionMultiple sclerosis is the most common acquired chronic neurological disease amongst young adults and is associated with a range of symptoms that can be difficult to cope with. In face-to-face interventions, a MBI demonstrated the largest effect in a recent meta-analysis of psychological treatments for PwMS, but MBIs for PwMS have not been delivered online. Hence, this trial will confirm whether MBIs can be efficacious when delivered online. A range of symptoms are assessed as outcomes so that the nature of benefits associated with the online MBI can be ascertained.Trial registrationACTRN12618001260213.Date of Registration: 25/07/2018.

Problems of Gifted and Talented Students Regarding Cursive Handwriting: Parent Opinions

<p style="text-align:justify">We are living in an age where knowledge is rapidly produced and consumed. In this period, the future of the individual and the society depends on accessing, using and producing information. This situation requires a qualified education and first literacy teaching which is the foundation of it. Primary school is the foundation of everything; likewise, the first literacy learning is the foundation of learning (Gunes, Uysal and Tac, 2016). First literacy is to create a new communication and interaction channel for the individual by teaching the symbols of humankind that it created in ten thousand years. Education performs a great miracle by making a seven-year old child comprehend this script that humankind developed in ten thousand years within a seven- or eight-month period (Guleryuz, 2001). It is desired for and expected of the children who start the first grade in primary school at the level of illiteracy to reach the level of basic literacy with qualified first literacy education under the supervision of an effective program, equipped teacher (Sagirli, 2015). Education in cursive handwriting in our country has started in Ataturk era. Ataturk demonstrated examples of the New Turkish Latin Letters on the blackboard with the cursive handwriting. Elderly and young people of the generation of Ataturk era have learned the cursive handwriting very well and used for many years. Many documents of that period such as diplomas, identity cards, registry of deeds etc. have been prepared with cursive handwriting in a clear, cursive and aesthetic form (Gunes, 2006). In our country, it has been decided to start the first literacy education with the cursive handwriting under the scope of the 2004 draft program. For nearly thirteen years, our students are becoming literate with cursive handwriting. There are many studies in literature that examine the opinions of teachers, students, and parents about the cursive handwriting. The aim of the concerned study is to express the view from the perspective of the parents of the gifted and talented students on the practice of cursive handwriting in first literacy education. Within the scope of the research, interviews were conducted with the parents of the gifted and talented students and their opinions were taken about starting the first literacy with the practice of the cursive handwriting. All of the parents are the parents of gifted and talented children who are attending primary school. The data collected during the 2016-2017 academic year have been obtained by face-to-face interviews. The answers of the parents are recorded and then reported. Screening model is used in the study that is designed by content analysis. The research is a qualitative study. Recommendations are brought at the end of the research.</p>

Relative to the Subtalar Joint, the Calcaneocuboid Joint has a Greater Range of Motion than the Talonavicular Joint in the Coronal Plane

The objective of this study was to determine the range of motion of the calcaneocuboid and talonavicular joints relative to the subtalar joint in 6 locked midfoot positions and 3 locked subtalar joint positions. Eight fresh‐frozen cadaver specimens were acquired from the Willed Body Program at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, Shreveport, LA. Specimens included male and female right and left lower legs transected 20 cm inferior to the knee. The interosseous membrane held the tibia and fibula together and the ankle joint was locked in neutral. The axis finder method developed by Hollister et al. (1993) was used to verify the ankle and hindfoot axes of rotation that had been reported by Inman (1969) and Manter (1941), further validating Hollister's method. The same method was then used to identify the calcaneocuboid and talonavicular midfoot joint axes relative to the subtalar hindfoot joint axis. To measure the axes of rotation, an x‐y‐z coordinate system was fixed to the anterior tibia and used as a reference. The midfoot positions included inversion, eversion, dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, abduction and adduction. The subtalar joint positions included inversion, eversion and neutral. Images (6000 × 4000 pixels) were obtained in the coronal plane for midfoot inversion and eversion, in the sagittal plane for midfoot dorsiflexion and plantarflexion and in the axial plane for midfoot abduction and adduction. A computerized drafting program (Rhinoceros, ver. 5) was used to measure the axis angles. The measurements were analyzed using Independent Sample T‐tests (SPSS, ver. 24), with P <0.05 considered statistically significant.The range of motion of each joint was calculated as the absolute value of the difference in the axis angles between two midfoot positions in each subtalar joint position in the same plane. When the subtalar joint was inverted, the calcaneocuboid joint range of motion was 13.87.33° (mean.D.), whereas the talonavicular joint range of motion was 5.64.03°. When the subtalar joint was everted, the calcaneocuboid and talonavicular joint ranges of motion were 12.74.83° and 7.04.16°, respectively. When the subtalar joint was in neutral position, the calcaneocuboid and talonavicular joint ranges of motion were 15.73.89° and 6.572.12°, respectively. In all three subtalar joint positions, the calcaneocuboid joint range of motion was significantly greater than talonavicular joint range of motion (inversion and eversion, P<0.05; neutral P<0.001). In the sagittal and axial planes, the midfoot ranges of motion for dorsiflexion‐plantarflexion and abduction‐adduction exhibited greater variability and therefore did not differ significantly.Results of this study show that when the midfoot is inverted or everted and the subtalar joint is inverted, everted or in neutral position, the calcaneocuboid joint has a greater range of motion than the talonavicular joint. These results could be used to improve midfoot mobility in prosthetics and for correcting gait cycle abnormalities.Support or Funding InformationResearch supported by the Departments of Cellular Biology and Anatomy and Orthopedics at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, Shreveport, LA.This abstract is from the Experimental Biology 2018 Meeting.

Some aspects of realizing the order for ophtalmologic service as exemplified by Irkutsk oblast

Aim. Evaluation of the state of ophthalmologic service in Irkutsk oblast, as well as its compliance with the requirements of new legislative and regulatory documents of the federal level, development of a draft program for the development of ophthalmic care for the adult population of Irkutsk oblast. 
 Methods. To achieve the goal, two types of special process chart («Personnel» and «Equipment») were developed, based on the technology of a fact-potential method for assessing the performance of health facilities. Information capabilities of these methods were demonstrated. Assessment of comliance of the human resources and material and technical equipment of the ophthalmologic service of Irkutsk oblast with the order for medical care was performed. 
 Results. A serious staff shortage was reveled, as well as unsatisfactory material and technical equipment of institutions providing ophthalmologic service to the adult population. This problem is especially acute in the regions of Irkutsk oblast. To bring the material and technical base of the ophthalmologic service of Irkutsk oblast into compliance with the requirements of the Law №323 FZ and the approved Order for medical care to the adult population in case of eye diseases, 169.3 million rubles are required, of which 145 million rubles are required for «priority expenses». Measures aimed at improving the state of the ophthalmologic service in the region were suggested. The need to develop and implement a perspective regional targeted program for the development of ophthalmologic service of the Irkutsk oblast for a long-term period was shown. 
 Conclusion. Human resources and material and technical equipment of medical institutions providing ophthalmologic service to the population of Irkutsk oblast do not comply with the standards; one of the solutions to the problem is the development and implementation of the regional targeted program for the development of ophthalmologic service.

For a Relational Critical Discourse Analysis

This paper proposes a relational and critical sociological perspective on discourse analysis, in particular on so-called “Critical Discourse Analysis” (CDA). The main argument of this paper is that CDA has not yet been able to turn its critical perspective towards its own field. Meanwhile, neither CDA nor other schools of discourse analysis can still pretend not to be integral parts of the system legitimizing social hierarchies in modern societies. The paper argues that discourse analysis can be seen as highly dependent on power relations, both because of its institutional positioning and because of its restricted reflexivity. A call for the development of a critical sociology of discourse analysis based on a relational approach is therefore presented. Its draft programme is largely based on inspiration from the sociology of knowledge, in particular from “the sociology of sociology” of Pierre Bourdieu.

Determination of the feasibility of a multicomponent intervention program to prevent delirium in the Intensive Care Unit: A modified RAND Delphi study

BackgroundDelirium is common in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients and associated with poor outcome. In non-ICU patients a multicomponent intervention program with non-pharmacological interventions has shown to reduce delirium. Currently, there is insufficient evidence regarding the effects of such a program in ICU patients. We developed a draft program based on a review. As most studies were conducted in non-ICU patients, the feasibility of the program in ICU patients needs to be assessed before investigating its effectiveness. ObjectivesTo determine experts’ opinion and to achieve group consensus on the feasibility and completeness of the multicomponent intervention program for ICU patients. MethodsA modified RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method Delphi study was used. A total of 38 experts were selected following purposive sampling. Round one informed the experts about the draft program and asked for their opinion about its feasibility and completeness. In round two the experts were asked to reconsider their opinion based on changes made, and to rank the interventions in order of importance. The feasibility was scored using a 9-point Likert scale. A disagreement index (DI) and panel median were calculated to determine the level of agreement. ResultsDuring Delphi round one 100% of the questionnaires was completed, during round two 79%. After two rounds the experts agreed on the feasibility of the interventions targeting sleep deprivation (panel median 7.00, DI 0.26), immobility (panel median 8.00, DI 0.22), visual and hearing impairment (panel median 8.00, DI 0.19), and cognitive impairment (panel median 8.00, DI 0.23), except for cognitive training (panel median 5.00, DI 0.52). ConclusionsDuring this study a feasible multicomponent intervention program to prevent ICU delirium was developed based on expert consensus. As no consensus was reached on cognitive training, a pilot study is planned to determine the feasibility of cognitive training in the ICU.

A fresh start? The Northern Ireland Assembly election 2016

ABSTRACTAs voters across Northern Ireland went to the polls on 5 May 2016, it was by no means obvious that they were participating in a landmark election. The preceding campaign was largely lacklustre, voters were left uninspired, and competition for votes was primarily conducted along predictable ethno-national lines. The Democratic Unionist Party and Sinn Féin retained their positions as the dominant unionist and nationalist parties respectively, while the Ulster Unionist Party and Social Democratic and Labour Party struggled to retain their existing support, let alone expand it. The cross-community Alliance Party remained stagnant in fifth place. However, these ostensive signs of continuity with previous elections mask deeper signs of substantive change. The establishment of Northern Ireland’s first official opposition within current structures and the publication of a draft Programme for Government framework within a month of the election are indicative of a new era in consociational power sharing. Meanwhile, the growth in support for smaller parties, a further fall in voter turnout and an audible debate around social issues suggest at least a partial decline in the salience of the ethno-national dimension in the electoral arena.

Improving Fidelity of Translation of the Stepping On Falls Prevention Program through Root Cause Analysis.

Fidelity monitoring is essential with implementation of complex health interventions, but there is little description of how to use results of fidelity monitoring to improve the draft program package prior to widespread dissemination. Root cause analysis (RCA) provides a systematic approach to identifying underlying causes and devising solutions to prevent errors in complex processes. Its use has not been described in implementation science. Stepping On (SO) is a small group, community-based intervention that has been shown to reduce falls by 31%. To prepare SO for widespread U.S. dissemination, we conducted a pilot of the draft program package, monitoring the seven SO sessions for fidelity of program delivery and assessing participant receipt and enactment through participant interviews after the workshop. Lapses to fidelity in program delivery, receipt, and enactment were identified. We performed a RCA to identify underlying causes of, and solutions to, such lapses, with the goal of preventing fidelity lapses with widespread dissemination. Lapses to fidelity in program delivery were in the domains of group leader's role, use of adult learning principles, and introducing and upgrading the exercises. Lapses in fidelity of participant receipt and enactment included lack of knowledge about balance exercises and reduced adherence to frequency of exercise practice and advancement of exercise. Root causes related to leader training and background, site characteristics and capacity, and participant frailty and expectations prior to starting the program. The RCA resulted in changes to the program manual, the training program, and training manual for new leaders, and to the methods for and criteria for participant and leader recruitment. A Site Implementation Guide was created to provide information to sites interested in the program. Disseminating complex interventions can be done more smoothly by first using a systematic quality improvement technique, such as the RCA, to identify how lapses in fidelity occur during the earliest stages of implementation. This technique can also help bring about solutions to these lapses of fidelity prior to widespread dissemination across multiple domain lapses.
