Capacity to provide care for common childhood infections at low-level private health facilities in Western, Uganda

Low-level private health facilities (LLPHFs) handle a considerable magnitude of sick children in low-resource countries. We assessed capacity of LLPHFs to manage malaria, pneumonia, diarrhea, and, possible severe bacterial infections (PSBIs) in under-five-year-olds. We conducted a cross-sectional survey in 110 LLPHFs and 129 health workers in Mbarara District, Uganda between May and December 2019. Structured questionnaires and observation forms were used to collect data on availability of treatment guidelines, vital medicines, diagnostics, and equipment; health worker qualifications; and knowledge of management of common childhood infections. Amoxicillin was available in 97%, parental ampicillin and gentamicin in 77%, zinc tablets and oral rehydration salts in >90% while artemether-lumefantrine was available in 96% of LLPHF. About 66% of facilities stocked loperamide, a drug contraindicated in the management of diarrhoea in children. Malaria rapid diagnostic tests and microscopes were available in 86% of the facilities, timers/clocks in 57% but only 19% of the facilities had weighing scales and 6% stocked oxygen. Only 4% of the LLPHF had integrated management of childhood illness (IMCI) booklets and algorithm charts for management of common childhood illnesses. Of the 129 health workers, 52% were certificate nurses/midwives and (26% diploma nurses/clinical officers; 57% scored averagely for knowledge on management of common childhood illnesses. More than a quarter (38%) of nursing assistants had low knowledge scores. No notable significant differences existed between rural and urban LLPHFs in most parameters assessed. Vital first-line medicines for treatment of common childhood illnesses were available in most of the LLPHFs but majority lacked clinical guidelines and very few had oxygen. Majority of health workers had low to average knowledge on management of the common childhood illnesses. There is need for innovative knowledge raising interventions in LLPHFs including refresher trainings, peer support supervision and provision of job aides.

THE HISTORY OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE NORTHERN TERRITORIES - THE GOLD OF YAKUTIA: KОCHULUKAN AND YNYKCHAN IN THE POST-WAR PERIOD (MEMOIRS OF THE OWNER)

The paper is devoted to a part of A. M. Ozhigov‟s memoirs, recently found in the family archives of the authors. The memoirs describe the working conditions at the gold mines of the Dzhugdzhurzoloto trust in 1947. The post-war period required an urgent replenishment of the state gold reserves, which was reflected in the Decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR (1946) on increasing the production of gold and platinum in the country. As a result, the Special Main Directorate of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs (Glavspetstsvetmet) has been created. The activity of this Directorate was focused on the search and exploration of new deposits, technical modernization and improvement of working conditions in mines This period of profound post-war crisis of gold industry, entirely determined by the war efforts, was characterized by a high share of manual labor, labor of prisoners and special settlers, low qualifications of workers and arduous living conditions. Here, we have evaluated reliability of the above memoirs using a comparative historical method. The factual knowledge of the memoirs was confirmed in open official sources. However, these sources are rather scarce in terms of human relations directly in gold mines and newly discovered areas. New names and circumstances of the everyday life of gold prospectors developing the deposit of the Kоchulyukan spring, brightly presented in the memoirs of A. M. Ozhigov, reveal the unknown details of the Soviet history of the industrial development of the northern territories. The psychological aspect of the recollections, expressed in the author's vivid subjectivism in relation to the organizers of the works (managers), also brightly show the opposition of the "worker-boss" type. Scanned copies of A. M. Ozhigov‟s memoirs are kept in the V. F. Vereshchagin Museum of Local Lore, Bodaibo town, Irkutsk region.

A Method for the evaluation of knowledge management systems

The explicit and tacit knowledge of workers constitute as valuable resources, as they enable organizations to perform their functions successfully. Such knowledge is derived from the qualification and experience of workers. On the other side, there are factors that favor the loss of this knowledge in organizations, as for example, the natural aging of workers and consequently the retirement and staff turnover. Because of these reasons, it becomes important for any organization to seek the preservation of its explicit and tacit knowledge. The Knowledge Management seeks to assist in the tasks of identification, organization, preservation and transmission of such knowledge. At the Nuclear Engineering Institute, three systems were developed and implemented to help in the Knowledge Management area: CarpeDIEN, a repository of research data based on the DSpace software; the “Nuclear Energy in Magazines”, a peer-reviewed academic journals management system based on the Open Journal Systems software; and WikiIEN, a wiki based on the MediaWiki software. Each of these systems presents a different proposal and workflow. The objective of this paper is to present the characteristics of each system, a method to compare them based on criteria presented in the literature and to point their weaknesses. The results showed that the method is a proactive tool to provide a basis for choosing the most appropriate system for a given need in an organization.

Automation of forecasting the number of personnel as the basis of environmental management, on the example of calculations by environmental controllers of enterprises of the fuel and energy complex of Russia

The study of the methodological basis of environmental management made it possible to identify and identify shortcomings in the current audit system, in terms of the necessary and sufficient number of environmental controllers. It was also not clear how to plan the qualifications of such workers with the same high precision as the number. As a result, after analyzing the various developments of scientists in the field of environmental management, the practical foundations for such planning were identified, namely, the production plan, a breakdown by divisions, taking into account their specific activities (production) and percentages for control by type of work, taking into account the qualification coefficients of labor complexity. Based on the research carried out, a program was developed that allows predicting the number of controllers necessary and sufficient to create an environmental management system and continuous audit. In principle, from the conclusions of the authors, this system can be applied at other enterprises to predict the number of any category and profession of auxiliary workers.

Measuring the Impact of TQM Pillars in Improving Banking Performance Using Quality Function Deployment; Afield Study of –CPA, BNA, BBA

The aim of this study is to know the effect of applying TQM pillars on the development of determinants of banking performance; It was limited on the Algerian National Bank, the Algerian Popular Loan, Al Baraka Algerian Bank. In order to achieve the aims of the study, a descriptive method was adopted, and research was conducted on many sources of contemporary management though treated to the subject of the study.A questionnaire was developed for workers,(189 workers), in addition, the using the QFD model. The study concluded that the pillars of TQM have a positive effect on all determinants of banking performance in varying degrees. However, the quality of banking service has the highest score (741,512) and the "training and qualification of workers" pillar has the highest relative importance (13.42%), which means that the banks in the study give more priority to this pillar
 than the other pillars. On the other hand, the pillar of "motivating employees" was less important (10.63%), which means that the banks do not give much attention to this pillar.

Izba-Reading Room as a Rural Cultural Center in Buryat-Mongolian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic in 1920-1930s

The features of the emergence and functioning of reading rooms in the Buryat-Mongolian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic in the 1920s-1930s are considered. The author analyzes the measures taken by the Soviet government, local cells of the Communist Party and Komsomol activists aimed at strengthening izba-reading rooms on the territory of the republic. The main problems of the organization and activities of izba-reading rooms are investigated in detail, attention is paid to various methods of work to attract the population to new forms of Soviet culture. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the study of the role and place of the izba-reading room in the regional cultural space will make an important contribution to the creation of a largescale objective picture of the cultural revolution that took place in the USSR in the 1920s1930s. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that a number of previously unpublished sources are put into circulation, collected directly for this study. This made it possible to highlight some details that previously could not be reflected in other works. As a result of the study, it was determined that the izbareading room, despite the difficulties that arose (weak resource base, a shortage of trained personnel, low qualifications of workers, cultural and linguistic differences, a wary attitude of the local population towards the events of the Soviet government) gradually managed to win the sympathy of the adult population and become a reference point of cultural and educational work in the village.

The tendency was observed both in obtaining of profound knowledge and in learning of geology in general. The key method of the problem’s solution is achieving of ultimate dynamic in lessons It can be realized by 1) active using of laboratory possibilities at museums and academic institutions; 2) work with rock templates\minerals collections; 3) field or rocks expeditions; 4) organizations of competitions; 5) contact with parents of learners. The obtained statistical and methodical material can become a basis for next similar experiments at schools.

New requirements for technical acceptability of construction products as a component of the construction quality assurance system

The analysis and generalization of theoretical approaches to the formation of the construction quality system, the generalization of the legislative and regulatory framework for quality control in construction. Analysis of the theoretical prerequisites for the formation of quality control of construction revealed that the digital transformation of construction is an integral part of the development of modern society, a prerequisite for changing the system of construction, including control, quality assurance and evaluation of construction processes, works, materials, products and structures.
 It was found that the quality in construction is directly affected by the following factors: quality and completeness of design documentation; the possibility and obligation to comply with legal requirements; quality of construction processes and works, strict compliance with the requirements of technology and construction organization; quality of construction products and structures; technical ability to provide a given level of quality with the help of machines, mechanisms, means of small mechanization, etc .; the level of qualification of management staff, workers and line ITP. The quality system itself can be presented in the format of a "black box", where the factor will be named at the entrance, and at the exit - buildings and structures that meet a given level of quality throughout the life cycle of the object.
 It is proposed to consider the construction quality management system in the form of a multicomponent formation and at the same time a dynamic environment, which is constantly changing under the influence of external and internal factors and has a high degree of scholasticism and uncertainty. With the introduction of digital technologies in the organization of construction, including VIM modeling, use of artificial intelligence, cloud services for information storage, quality control tools that can be performed without human intervention, such as drones, robotic elements, surveillance cameras and others, the construction quality assurance system has to change, taking into account the realities of time. Therefore, the system of quality formation in the article is proposed to be considered throughout the life cycle of the object - from pre-project research to liquidation. This will, in contrast to existing approaches, not only combine into a single system all the components of assurance, evaluation and quality control, which are used at the level of all participants in the construction, but also to ensure integrated process management.

Unveiling the endogeneity between social-welfare and labor efficiency: Two-stage NDEA neural network approach

This paper estimates intersectoral labor efficiencies and its covariances in Brazil from 2003 to 2016 using a two-stage neural network model. It investigates whether there is a positive relationship between education and productivity. At the first stage, a static Markov chain regression provides labor quantitative efficiency (volume) and labor value efficiency (value added). The second stage runs a dynamic regression model between each estimated efficiency and the social contextual variables to unveil endogeneities from covariances among the variables set. Strong covariances are found between the efficiencies and fertility rate, suggesting that there is a relevant gap between the productive sector and worker qualification, leading to lower levels of efficiency in Brazil, as shown in the theoretical model. The economy is unable to allocate efficiently the stock of qualified workers.

Based on the results of the timekeeping studies carried out in experimental conditions, the costs of working time for performing technological operations on the arrangement of underground waterproofing with an injection compound from bentonite solutions were determined. Considering the identified technological features, the number and qualifications of workers have been established during the work on the arrangement of injection waterproofing from bentonite solutions.

Integrated HR Risk Management System

The study provides an overview of works related to the formation of theoretical and methodological tools for assessing personnel risks. The absence of a unified theoretical approach to building an integrated HR risk management system in organizations has been substantiated. Methods that have a theoretical and methodological basis for creating organizational and methodological tools for managing personnel risks are considered. Proposals have been developed for the development of tools for analyzing personnel risks, affecting the applied aspects of management in the field of labor, taking into account the specifics of activities that are priority from the point of view of the application and use of knowledge, skills and qualifications of workers. The theoretical and practical features of defining promising directions in the development of the theory of personnel risk management based on the competence-based approach have been determined. Presented are some aspects of activities to identify threats in the management of business entities. The theoretical and methodological features of the representation of personnel risk in personnel management procedures are considered. It is shown that the ongoing changes in the field of personnel management require from the management staff to form new approaches to identifying threats in the world of work.

ВЛИЯНИЕ ХАРАКТЕРА ЗАНЯТОСТИ НА КАЧЕСТВО ТРУДОВОЙ ЖИЗНИ

Technological and demographic changes have actualized the question of the influence of the nature of employment and the parameters of the workplace on the quality of a person’s working life. A scientific review and analysis of the impact of current trends in employment modes on the quality of human life is presented. Based on the literature review, it has been concluded that if there is unanimity among scientists about the positive impact of the regime of protected and standard employment on the quality of life, there is active debate about the impact of the regime of vulnerable and precarious employment. Also, based on the analysis of the literature, it has been determined that people’s subjective satisfaction does not always coincide with a positive impact on the objective quality of life. The study is based on comparative and correlation analysis as a method for processing statistical data from the OECD, ILO and WB. The employment regimes were classified according to four enlarged groups: economic sectors, professions, status, and employment regime. The assessments of the quality of life were classified according to three indicators: the human development index, the quality of life index and the international happiness index. The most important factors in the development of the labor market, influencing the quality of working life, have been identified: parameters of the quality of the workplace (the level of wages, employment stability, qualifications of workers, the level of social and legal guarantees) and the general level of employment. The most reasoned point of view was revealed: the regime of standard protected employment (permanent full-time work under a formal contract) has a positive effect, and the regime of precarious work (various options for informal, temporary or part-time employment) has a negative impact on the quality of life. The protected employment regime (hired labor and selfemployment as an entrepreneur) has a positive effect, while the vulnerable employment regime (individual self-employment and intra-family employment) has a negative impact on the quality of life. The transition to a “new” economy and highly skilled jobs has a significant impact on the quality of working life. The opinion of experts about non-standard forms of employment as a single category is refuted. The positive influence of the mode of part-time employment on the quality of life is revealed, the contradictory influence of the mode of temporary employment on the quality of life is shown. Achievement of material well-being and sociopolitical stability to a large extent contradicts the subjective happiness of people and the protection of the environment.

Structural solution of the horizontal joint of floor slabs in girderless frame

Despite the widespread use of monolithic construction, precast concrete remains in demand in the construction of residential and administrative buildings. Regardless of the advantages in technology and the quality of work, it is necessary and appropriate to modernize the existing design solutions, which allows you to simplify and speed up the technological operations during construction. Moreover, in the construction of complex nodes and joints, the qualification of workers is important, so simplifying the work without losing the quality of construction and ensuring strength, stability and durability is an important task. This problem can be solved by using modern embedded parts in the joints that do not require welding and other complex technological operations. In this paper, a constructive solution of the horizontal joint of the floor slabs located in the zone of action of minimal forces is proposed on the example of a girderless frame. The purpose of the study is to determine the stress-strain state of the proposed structural solution of the horizontal joint of floor slabs using loopshaped embedded parts «PFEIFER» and to develop recommendations for determining the shear compliance. Based on the analysis of the results of numerical modeling, the features of the stress-strain state of the joint during shear operation are revealed. The results obtained can be used in the design of buildings with precast-monolithic ringless frames, in the modernization of existing standard solutions of precast-monolithic frames, as well as other load-bearing systems made of precast concrete.

Organizational and technological parameters of facade works and influencing factors

The article deals with the organizational and technological features of construction. The organization of construction production for the installation of facade systems with an air gap during the construction of buildings is associated with coordination with general construction works. Often, construction management projects developed at the design stage are adjusted taking into account the current conditions. These changes can occur both before the start of work and during the production of work. The introduction of organizational and technological changes in the production process of work can lead to a significant decrease in technical and economic indicators. In this regard, it is relevant to resolve the issues of assessment and selection of effective organizational and technological solutions for the device of facade systems. The difficulty is the assessment of factors with different dimensions of quantitative and qualitative indicators. Installation of facade systems is a work performed in the open air, in connection with which there are factors that have a rather strong influence on the complexity of the work. In addition, as with any other construction work, it depends on the completion of other construction work. Another important feature of the organization of facade work is the orientation of the work front in the unfamiliar plane of the building. The study of this type of work is relevant and is of interest from a scientific point of view, not only in matters of constructive solutions for and organization of work and the use of appropriate machines and mechanisms. A well-grounded choice of technological equipment and the number and qualification of workers will increase the performance of work.

Process Design to Use Amazon MTurk for Cognitively Complex Tasks

Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) is a very popular method for researchers to complete large volumes of repeatable, cognitively simple tasks such as data labeling. However, MTurk is currently challenging to use for more cognitively complex tasks. This article presents a procedure to help researchers interested in using MTurk to complete large volumes of repeatable, cognitively complex tasks. By combining batches, dummy variables, and worker qualification, it is possible for researchers to design a simple one-click user interface to assign the same task to a targeted set of MTurk workers and gather data from all these workers in one place. By scanning the marketplace for good workers and assigning tasks only to these workers, it is possible for researchers to greatly simplify the use of MTurk for cognitively complex tasks.

ПРАВОВИЙ СТАТУС І КВАЛІФІКАЦІЙНІ ВИМОГИ ДО ФАРМАЦЕВТИЧНИХ ПРАЦІВНИКІВ

The article examines the features of the legal status of pharmaceutical workers and determines the place of pharmaceutical activity in the field of health care. Pharmaceutical workers are considered as a separate category of health workers, along with medical workers and workers working in the field of rehabilitation. The qualification requirements to pharmaceutical workers fixed by the legislation depending on the sphere and type of pharmaceutical activity are determined. Pharmaceutical workers include professionals and specialists who work on the basis of an employment contract in the field of production, wholesale (retail) and import of medicines and meet the licensing and other regulatory requirements governing the organization and operation of pharmaceutical activities. Some licensing conditions for the implementation of various types of pharmaceutical activities and the relationship of their standards with other regulations are investigated. The need to improve the current legislation in the field of regulation of pharmaceutical relations and the development of effective legal mechanisms to ensure effective control over such activities is pointed out. It is necessary to adopt a special law on pharmaceutical activities; legislative definition of pharmaceutical activity with its main features; legislative definition of all main types of pharmaceutical activity, conditions of its implementation and subjects; detailed regulation of the legal and labor status of pharmaceutical workers. Particular attention and control should be paid to determining the qualifications of pharmaceutical workers, supporting their continuing professional education and establishing quality control over the quality of their work.

Професійні характеристики медичних працівників як учасників трудових правовідносин

The article examines the qualification requirements for medical workers as subjects of labor law. Medical activities are distinguished from other types of activities in the field of healthcare, and the main features of a medical worker as a subject of labor relations are highlighted. It is shown that the priority direction of state policy in the field of Health Protection and the main task of each medical institution is to provide high-quality medical care (services), which primarily depends on providing the medical institution with qualified labor resources and necessary material and technical equipment. At the same time, proper organization of the labor process of medical workers, effective and productive legal mechanisms for ensuring the organization of medical care and medical services provided by medical institutions are the foundation for the functioning of the health care system both at the level of each individual region and at the state level as a whole. It is proved that the legal regulation of the organization of practical medical activities and the provision of medical care is carried out comprehensively by the norms of various branches of law (civil, commercial, administrative, labor, criminal, procedural, etc.). Of course, the determining role in the process of regulating medical activities is performed by the legal norms of special medical direction (appointment). However, the quality of medical services depends primarily on the qualifications of health workers, which determines their ability to perform their duties to provide medical care (services) on a professional basis. It is noted that the purpose of identifying medical workers among other health care workers is to determine their labor and legal status, qualification and educational level, job function, professional responsibilities, requirements for the quality of medical care and conditions for its provision and, accordingly, the grounds bringing to legal responsibility for violation of labor, civil, medical, administrative, criminal and other legislation. Professional qualification characteristics of various categories of medical workers are determined, their qualification and educational level and real ability to perform specific work within the framework of medical activities and medical care are analyzed.
