Analisis Pengetahuan Investasi, Return Investasi dan Motivasi Investasi Terhadap Minat Investasi Mahasiswa Akuntansi Kota Batam

Investment is a preparatory action carried out by someone to prepare funds in the future. This preparation is done by investing, such as saving in the capital market, managing money to turn into a business, or buying property. In addition, by investing, the community has participated in building the country's economic development, this happens because with investment, the money circulating in the market can be monitored by the government. Investments can be made by all groups, especially students, right now everything become easier especially the requirement for starting an investment, many of securities investment only need IDR 100,000 to start an investment. The main purpose for doing this research is to know what kind of influence that come from effect knowledge of investment, investment returns and motivation of investment on the investment interest of accounting students in Batam City. The source of data used for research is using primari data, namely by distributing questionnaires to accounting students at Batam International University. The population used in this study was 609 students and then calculated using slovin technic with 5% margin of error. The application used to process questionnaire data is SPSS V26. The results of this research shown that knowledge of investment, investment returns and investment motivatiion have a significant effect on the investment interest of accountning students based in Batam City.

“La Piedra Rosetta” Content Analysis of Health-Specific Stories on Genetic Testing From Spanish-Language News Outlets

Genetic testing (GT) for health purposes has grown exponentially in the past decade, with the ability to prescribe precision medicine regiments as well as preventative and preparatory actions. White and English-speaking populations have largely benefited from GT, leaving other groups, like Latinx populations, behind. Explanations for this disparity have cited a lack of awareness and knowledge of GT for health purposes but have generally only been studied in clinical settings. Mass and news media have virtually ignored this disparity. English-language news coverage of GT for health purposes has linked coverage to views of genetic determinism. Spanish-language news coverage of GT for health purposes has cited no published data, thus the current study is the first to characterize health-focused articles on GT from two U.S. Spanish-language news outlets, Telemundo and Univision. From March 2008 to August 2020, we identified only 49 published stories on health-focused stories on GT. Stories focused mostly on cancer and fertility types of GT and often did not attribute an author to the story. Spanish-language coverage is limited and may be contributing to the lack of knowledge of GT for health purposes. We offer potential future research opportunities in genomics from a mass media perspective.

Analysis of Airport Officers' Preparedness at Yogyakarta International Airport in Facing Potential Tsunami Hazards

Indonesia is a country that has a geological location where three plates meet and two oceans meet. Because of its geological location, Indonesia is a country that is vulnerable to disasters such as the tsunami disaster. Therefore, preparedness is needed to deal with these potential hazards. Preparedness is a series of activities carried out to anticipate disasters through appropriate and efficient steps. Preparedness is emphasized on the ability to take preparatory actions to face disaster emergencies quickly and precisely. At airports that are located in disaster-prone areas, of course, the preparedness of airport officers is of utmost concern. This preparedness can be in the form of training such as simulations and outreach. In addition to preparedness, preparation for disaster mitigation is also needed. This disaster mitigation can be in the form of constructing disaster-resistant buildings, installing evacuation signs and also making policies that are carried out when a disaster occurs. This study uses qualitative methods with data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation. Then proceed with data analysis techniques, namely data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results shown in this study are that the preparedness of airport officers at Yogyakarta International Airport has been very well prepared, namely by conducting training with related parties and also local residents. In addition, work instructions were also prepared so that they could be used as guidelines in the event of a tsunami disaster. Yogyakarta International Airport has prepared structural and non-structural disaster mitigation. This structural mitigation is in the form of building a building that can withstand an earthquake of 8.8 magnitude and a tsunami of 12 meters, making green belts, installing evacuation route signs, and activating an early warning system. The non-structural mitigation set at this airport is making policies that regulate how to mobilize resources during and after a disaster occurs and data on the amount of available resources. After the disaster, how the airport will be operated will be seen how big the impact is on the airport area.

THE ROLE OF THE ACCOUNTANT IN THE ADAPTATION OF ORGANIC PRODUCTION TO EU REQUIREMENTS

The growth of demand for organic products on the world food markets determines the development of organic production in Ukraine. However, in order to enter international markets, in particular the European one, producers of organic products must comply with a number of requirements regarding their quality and certification. The purpose of the article is to generalize the requirements for organic production in the EU countries and to justify the role of the accountant and accounting policy of the enterprise in the process of adapting the activities of producers of organic products in Ukraine to such requirements. Achieving the planned goal was carried out with the help of analytical, synthetic, tabular, graphic methods, etc. The article summarizes the relevance of the export orientation of domestic production with a statistical selection of the most exported crops of organic plant production. An assessment of the formation of the necessary level of preparation for export trade was carried out, with a list of preparatory actions being highlighted. The main documents regulating the production and export of organic products in the EU countries are indicated. The algorithm of processes during the export of organic products from Ukraine in accordance with the requirements of the European Commission regarding additional official measures to control the import of organic products is summarized. The article proves the important role of the accountant in these processes and proposes a system of registers of accounting and control of the production of organic agricultural products, taking into account the requirements and standards of the EU. The proposed document registration system will contribute to the systematization of information about the quality of organic crop production, and will allow the recording of certification procedures at each stage of production.

Challenges in developing national orthopedic health research agendas in the Netherlands: process overview and recommendations

Growing demand for clinical research to improve evidence-based medicine in daily medical practice led to healthcare evaluation, which assesses the effectiveness of the existing care. The first step is identifying and prioritizing the most important evidence uncertainties. A health research agenda (HRA) can be valuable and helps determine funding and resource allocation, aiding researchers and policymakers to design successful research programs and implement the results in daily medical practice. We provide an overview of the development process of the first 2 HRAs within orthopedic surgery in the Netherlands and the following research process. In addition, we developed a checklist with recommendations for the future development of an HRA. This perspective guides the development of highquality and widely supported nationwide HRAs, including preparatory actions. This improves the uptake of evidence uncertainties in a successful research program and disseminates evidence-based literature in daily medical practice to improve patient care.

Phenomenological Body Schema as Motor Habit in Skill Acquisition – Intentionality is in Action

The purpose of this concept-based paper was to showcase the importance of Merleau-Ponty’s (1945/2014) phenomenological body schema as motor habit in skill acquisition and perception of the world and contrast it with the standard information processing models that are solely based on cognition. Examples of disability cases are used, including Schneider’s brain damage and instances of apraxia, to exhibit that difficulty in executing certain motor skills is based on lack of body schema/motor habit and not on some gnostic disorder that inhibits representation as proposed in information processing. Habitual body movement is essential in understanding body schema as motor habit, which is a pre-reflective consciousness, an inter-sensorial unity. Motor skills are learned only via body movement because the body “grasps” and “conceives” movement by throwing itself into meaningful significations without calculating the distance between body parts and external objects. Motor skill execution is done tacitly via body schema that may involve essential external apparatus like a blind man’s cane or aerial silks in aerial practice. Constant engagement with concrete, functional movements and different ways to perform abstract movements (e.g., use of preparatory actions and vision), can improve body schema/motor habit, and thus mobility, skill performance, and understanding of the world. Keywords: body schema, motor habit, skill acquisition and learning, Merleau-Ponty, phenomenology

Nuclear power as part of the Greek energy mix: Far better to be cost effectively proactive than unconditionally inactive

This position paper advocates preparatory actions for the incorporation of fission energy into the Greek mix, should this be necessary within the foreseeable future. To this end, and first of all, a concise understanding of the current Greek energy mix and its perspectives is essential in connection to the potential problems due to the expansion of renewable energy. Present and future inefficiencies could be avoided to a manageable extend, mainly by energy savings, mostly applicable for buildings consumption and also by upgrades towards a much denser grid, capable of reversing flows, along with energy storage facilities. In parallel, an assessment of the introduction potential of nuclear power could be examined. The assessment could involve political parties, scientists and other stakeholders, pro and against, and might reasonably result to justified arguments capable of raising public awareness. The country's preparedness to go nuclear could depend more or less on the degree of local energy market regulation framework, on the local and broader investment and financial environment, on the power plant construction and operation insurance possibilities, on the review and introduction of applicable law for licensing and regulating nuclear power and on the local scientific potential in the nuclear engineering field. Parameters like construction of related major engineering parts locally should also be examined along with compensatory benefits to the domestic economy and the local societies in the vicinity of the reactor sites. It is proposed that this work could be accomplished by an adequate task force without particular costs and within reasonable time.

The Four Protocols of Engagement and HOW to Apply Them

In response to concerns as to how to respectfully mobilize Canada's 2015 Truth and Reconciliation (TRC) 94 Calls to Action in our teaching/learning and/or life practices, I developed the Four Protocols of Engagement as a starting point for those ready to authentically engage with First Peoples, their/our lands, and ways of doing, knowing, and valuing. I demonstrate how I apply the Four Protocols in my own work through detailing how each protocol enacted requires preparatory knowledge seeking and actions to make meaningful and impactful Land Acknowledgements. I conclude by reflecting on the content and practices outlined in this example of implementing the Four Protocols of Engagement using the HOW self-assessment tool that I designed for use prior to and during our engagement with knowledges and practices from Nations not our own, in order to ensure that we are approaching this work in authentic, non-appropriating, heartfelt, humble, and mutually respectful and beneficial ways.

Военно-политические решения высшего командования СССР и Германии накануне Сталинградской битвы (июнь – июль 1942 г.)

Introduction. 2022 marks the 80th anniversary of the beginning of the Battle of Stalingrad, which became a turning point not only of the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet people against the Nazi invaders and their allies, but of the entire World War II of 1939–1945. The Battle of Stalingrad covered the territories of modern Voronezh, Rostov, Volgograd regions and the Republic of Kalmykia. The military and political decisions of the supreme command of the USSR and Germany on the eve of the Battle of Stalingrad in June – July 1942 became the starting point in the future battle. Methods and materials.The study used problem-chronological, comparative-historical, and statistical methods. The study of the materials was based on the principles of historicism and objectivity. During the analysis of documents from domestic archives, memoirs, statistical information, a significant amount of material was processed; the problems of the prehistory of the Battle of Stalingrad in domestic and foreign historiography were studied. Analysis. As a result of the study conducted by the authors, various directives, orders of the Headquarters of the Supreme High Command to the Soviet troops in the Stalingrad direction, as well as the enemy’s planning mechanism for the seizure of Stalingrad territory were analyzed. Results. It has been established that the Headquarters of the Supreme High Command, even before the start of hostilities in the Stalingrad direction, took measures to concentrate strategic reserves, create defensive lines, and reorganize the management of front-line troops. The authors’ contribution. V.A. Afanasenko proposed the idea and concept of the article, determined the chronology of the beginning of the preparatory actions preceding the Battle of Stalingrad. M.V. Medvedev analyzed the work of the Headquarters of the Supreme High Command on the preparation and use of combat reserves in battles within the great bend of the Don, carried out a scientific revision of the article.

Между философской критикой и идеологической апологетикой (об уровнях бытования человеческих идей)

The article is devoted to the problem of the correlation of Philosophy and Ideol­ogy. The deep opposition of these two phenomena is that Philosophy is critical thinking, while Ideology is apologetic consciousness. Ideologies are also sa­turated with critical invectives against opponents, but this criticism is only a preparatory action before the main act of ideology – the postulation of one’s own indisputability. The declaration of absolute truth is the credo of an Ideolo­gist, not a Philosopher, who understands the unattainability of absolute truth. There are three levels of existence of human ideas. The first is the actual Ideas, breakthrough guesses; this is a personalized level, where each idea is marked by the author. The second level is the space of ideologems, ideological constructions that still retain the memory of their personal authorship, but have already over­grown with a “party” shell. Ideologems are clusters of not creative-authorial, but already secondary, relaying consciousness; these are “ideas – passwords” by which corporations are self-determined and delimited in the public space. Fi­nally, the third level of the existence of ideas is Ideologies, firmly fixed ideologi­cal complexes that have indisputable dogmatics. Ideologies are the final station of the path from “love of truth” to “will to power”.

Preparations for Galileo PRS in Poland.

This article discusses the increasing security risk for the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) due to both unintentional and deliberate interference (attacks), which have gotten significantly worse in 2022 due to tense the international situation. The upcoming Galileo Public Regulated Service (PRS), which is more resilient and robust than initial GNSS open services, is one of the key solutions for that problem. The technical description of this service, aspects regarding its implementation in the EU and the role of designated governmental authorities in that process are extensively covered in the first sections of the article. The next relevant issue brought up in the paper is the PRS signals' coexistence with amateur services operating within the same frequency resources, which have recently became a source of significant controversy in Europe. Finally, the article presents the Polish contribution to the Galileo PRS preparatory actions, covering the participation in two international R&D projects, the developed measurement station and initial results for the GNSS receiver's jamming and spoofing resistance tests, as well as the concept of the Galileo PRS threats detection system.

A personalized feedback system to support teacher training

Abstract This paper aims to illustrate an automated system developed to give formative and personalized feedback to teachers in training. It is an expert system (Paviotti, Rossi & Zarka, 2012) that uses concrete examples, cases and scenarios to guide the engaged learners (Leake, 1996). In this regard, this system is able to create questionnaires, deliver them, collect and analyze data, send feedback to the participants to provide information about their beliefs and behaviors about teaching and learning processes. Far from constituting an assessment of teaching practices, the automated feedback demonstrates its usefulness in identifying teachers’ mindframes at an early stage, so as to be able to implement more specific and personalized training. This allows its application to be extended to further training areas as well as constituting an effective approach for need analysis and a preparatory action for numerous training activities (guided discussion with experts, observation on practice, modeling, etc.).

Characteristics of foot plantar pressure during turning in young male adults

BackgroundTurning gait is considered as a challenging motor task. However, only few existing studies reported turning biomechanics from the aspect of foot plantar pressure. Research questionThis study aimed to investigate turning biomechanics by studying foot plantar pressure characteristics MethodsTwelve young male participants were involved in this experimental study. They were instructed to perform turning tasks with different turning angles (i.e., 30°, 60°, and 90°). Foot plantar pressure was quantified by the force time integral (FTI) underneath seven plantar sub-areas. Analysis was carried out for different turning strategies (spin turns versus step turns), separately. ResultsThe results showed that for small-angle spin turns, plantar pressure patterns changed at the early stage of the approaching step, suggesting a preparatory action for the increased lower limb range of motion in the transverse plane during turning; for step turns, an imbalance weight bearing mechanism was adopted when making large-angle turns to compensate for the centripetal force during turning. SignificanceThe findings provide improved knowledge about turning biomechanics. They have practical implications for motion planning of lower-limb assistive devices for those with difficulties in turning.

The Temporal Alignment of Speech-Accompanying Eyebrow Movement and Voice Pitch: A Study Based on Late Night Show Interviews.

Previous research has shown that eyebrow movement during speech exhibits a systematic relationship with intonation: brow raises tend to be aligned with pitch accents, typically preceding them. The present study approaches the question of temporal alignment between brow movement and intonation from a new angle. The study makes use of footage from the Late Night Show with David Letterman, processed with 3D facial landmark detection. Pitch is modeled as a sinusoidal function whose parameters are correlated with the maximum height of the eyebrows in a brow raise. The results confirm some previous findings on audiovisual prosody but lead to new insights as well. First, the shape of the pitch signal in a region of approx. 630 ms before the brow raise is not random and tends to display a specific shape. Second, while being less informative than the post-peak pitch, the pitch signal in the pre-peak region also exhibits correlations with the magnitude of the associated brow raises. Both of these results point to early preparatory action in the speech signal, calling into question the visual-precedes-acoustic assumption. The results are interpreted as supporting a unified view of gesture/speech co-production that regards both signals as manifestations of a single communicative act.

In-Hand Pose Estimation Using Hand-Mounted RGB Cameras and Visuotactile Sensors

This paper proposes a method to estimate the 6D pose of an object grasped by a robot hand using RGB cameras mounted on the palm and visuotactile sensors installed at the fingertips. It can deal with objects made from a wide range of materials thanks to combining the two types of sensors. The method allows a robot to robot to perform in-hand pose estimation while holding the object, eliminating the need for preparatory actions or particular environmental backgrounds. The mechanism at the back of the method includes deep-learning-based background subtraction and denoising auto-encoder-based sensor fusion. With the poses estimated using the proposed method, a robot controller can rectify the grasping uncertainty and adjust the robot motion to move an object toward required goals with satisfying accuracy. We conduct various studies and analyses in the experimental section to understand the proposed method’s advantages and disadvantages. The results demonstrate the benefits of the proposed combination and mechanism. They also provide essential knowledge to readers considering using a similar configuration for estimating object poses.

Мотив пути в калмыцких сказках, включающих сюжет ATU 300 The Dragon-Slayer

Introduction. In the oral tradition of Kalmyks, type ATU 300 The Dragon-Slayer serves an episode to magic and heroic folktales. In Kalmyk narratives, the main character slays a serpent to save a maiden from death. Such tales begin with that a hero takes the road to eliminate some shortage/trouble, the action be based on the former’s spatial movement. So, the to-be serpent-slayer travels through worlds: he descends to the lower world, returns to the human-inhabited middle one, undergoes some difficulties, and finds a bride. Thus, the motif of way proves central to the considered plots. Goals. The study aims to examine the motif of way in ATU 300-based (The Dragon-Slayer) Kalmyk folktales. Materials. The paper analyzes texts of published Kalmyk folktales. Results. In The Son of Khan Gal — Otkhon Shara (Kalm. Һал хаана отхн шар көвүн), the main character — like a tuuli-uliger hero — sets off on a journey after receipt of a message from his betrothed. And it is the traditional formula ‘good advice, or a palm-sized skin’ that provides a stage for the hero to meet the messenger. When it comes to describe the hero’s departure, the narrative involves the genre of yöräl (‘good wishes’) which goes back to magic folk poetry rooted in the belief word has power, a successful arrival in the other world be guaranteed by certain preparatory action and appropriate attributes that had once accompanied the deceased on their last journey. Another motive for a hero to start on a trip is that his reigning father loses eyesight. In The Story of Tögseg Khaan (Kalm. Ном Төгсг хаана туск тууҗ) sons are supposed to leave and dare see what their father never saw for his sight to recover. In this text, the function of adviser and donor is performed by a Buddhist priest — gelong — who replaces the image of zayachi (‘guardian genius’). The hero’s return journey from the lower world to the middle (human) one is associated with the image of Khan Garuda. Conclusions. The motif of way in ATU 300-based (The Dragon-Slayer) folktales tends develop in accordance with magic folktale morphological patterns (according to Propp) and within the framework inherent to oral (tuuli-uliger) traditions, paralleled by that Buddhist representations replace the earlier ones.

Objectives This study was conducted to confirm how the attitude and fear of COVID-19 affect the career preparation behavior of nursing students in the pandemic situation. Methods 164 nursing students participated in this study. The data collection period was from January 13 to February 7, 2022. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 25.0 program. For statistical analysis, descriptive statistics, independent t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's Correlation, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis were conducted according to the characteristics of the variables. Results First, there was a statistically significant difference in subjectively recognized health status and major satisfaction in the career preparation behavior of nursing students. Second, the degree of attitude of nursing students toward COVID-19 was 4.14, the fear of COVID-19 was 2.48, and the career preparation behavior was 3.18. Third, the career preparation behavior of nursing students showed a statistically significant positive correlation with their attitude toward COVID-19 and fear of COVID-19. Finally, the significant factors affecting the career preparation behavior of nursing students were attitudes toward COVID-19 and fear of COVID-19, and the explanatory power of career preparation behavior was 22.2%. Conclusions Based on the results of this study, it is important to establish a personalized career action plan from new students so that nursing students can perform career-related preparatory actions. If these education are provided, it will help strengthen college students' career preparation behavior.

ANTI-PATTERNS IN CRIMINAL PROCEEDING: DOES JUDICIAL PROCEEDING IN CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS NEED A STAGE «PREPARATORY PROCEEDING»

«Preparatory proceeding» as a stage of judicial proceeding, must reflect their role, which cannot be an imposition on the overall judicial proceeding. Each stage of the process has its own tasks and goals. It is impossible to identify the stages of the process, as their semantic load is different and aimed at achieving a different goal. Obviously, all of the court’s preparatory actions must be aimed at organizing future trial. The rights of the parties and participants of criminal proceedings must be taken into account, who could file their petitions and statements before the beginning of the trial, regarding the measures to ensure the criminal process, provision of evidence and notification of the line of defense and prosecution in the trial. Such actions can obviously be accomplished without any separate stages of proceeding, since most court cases do not need the separate attention of the court to achieve the purposes of organizing the trial. In its current legislative meaning, «Preparatory proceeding» accordingly is an obvious anti-pattern of the criminal process, because it has lost all its necessary elements and procedures, which should have contributed to the proceeding. The mechanical administration of justice at this stage of the process merely fulfills a procedural rite of passage. In fact, this stage of the process has become a rudiment that delays criminal proceedings. In the article the author proposes eliminating such stage of the trial as «Preparatory proceeding» or transforming it into an optional stage (at the discretion of the court) to provide judicial proceedings with more effective means. Additionally European legislation, in which even if the stage of proceedings such as «Preparatory proceeding» is inherent, is also being analyzed, it is effective and necessary only where it is seen by the judge as reasonable. It is common sense and reasonable independence in decision-making that Ukrainian criminal procedure lacks. The implementation of such innovations is bound to affect both the efficiency of the court proceedings and to improve the procedure of the court proceedings itself. In addition, such changes will not affect the scope of rights of the parties to criminal proceedings; on the contrary, the parties to criminal proceedings and its participants may exercise their rights regarding the organization of the process and its course either in a free form before or at the first court hearing, by filing petitions, applications and relevant evidence or at the first court session. It is possible to create normative mechanisms based on the example of the European legislation, which would allow the presiding judge at his discretion, depending on the circumstances of criminal proceedings, to conduct preparatory proceedings or immediately move to the stage of trial. Key words: criminal procedure, criminal proceeding, preparatory proceeding, judicial proceeding, effective judicial proceeding, anti-pattern.
