Empowering Women's Role through Technical and Vocational Programs: A Northern Jordan Case Study

The present study deals with a very significant issue in Jordan, which is the Jordanian women’s empowerment in the Northern provinces (Irbid, Ajloun, and Jarash). It aims at discovering the constraints that face women’s empowerment of Jordan to serve and develop their society through developing a questionnaire to collect data, and calculate the arithmetic means and standard deviations of each constraint. The study also aims at measuring the impact of technical and vocational educational programs on women empowerment of Jordan to serve and develop their society, by conducting a pretest and posttest pilot study to measure the trainees acquirement level of the executive secretarial skills through the designed training program, in order to help them getting job opportunities instead of waiting for their rank in the civil service bureau, and to assist them by acquiring the technical and vocational empowerment skills, and teach them the required skills in office management and secretarial work, which will contribute to increasing their employment ratios, as shown later. The programs came as a result of survey that shows the need for such well-trained secretaries and office works to fulfill the demands of both private and public sectors in the Northern provinces. Study sample consists of 50 unemployed female trainees who hold bachelor or diploma certificates, who were put through the educational program which was held over a period of nine months for two years (2015-2017) within two groups of 25 trainees. The program results showed statically a significant difference between the pretest and posttest of program aspects, in favor of posttest value, it showed that means of all constraints ranged between (3.22–3.53), with the social constraints ranked first with a mean and standard deviation of (M=3.53, SD= 1.21), and the personal constraints ranked last with a mean and standard deviation of (M=3.22, SD= 1.17). It also showed that women trainees employment has a high ratio of 84%, due to the empowerment of these women which broaden their minds and opened up for them new avenues and job opportunities by training them on the technical knowledge and skills which are required to be qualified executive secretaries. Furthermore, this program has positive effects on the social and economic lives of trainees.

Bidding Trend and its Effects in Implementation on Road Projects of Division Road Offices of Department of Roads, Nepal

Bidding trend in different categories of work in Division Road Offices are different. Data of three fiscal year were used for analysis of bidding trend of Nepalgunj, trend depicts the similar pattern. Low bidding trend was identified using contractor’s overhead considering threshold of low bidding and analysis was also done using ranges of low bidding. Regression equation of percentage below engineers’ estimate and number of bidders were developed. The study revealed that 65, 58,62 and 83 percent low bids were found in Nepalgunj and and 84, 35, 56 and 100 percent low bids were found in Mahendranagar for A, B, C and D Category of work based on point threshold of low bid. Similarly, on the basis of range of bidding maximum number of contracts were found at50, 30 and 20 percent below engineers’ estimate in A, B and D Category of work. Maximum number of contracts were found at 40 percent below engineers’ estimate for C Category of work in Nepalgunj. Percentage below engineers’ estimate depends 67 percent on number of bidders in Nepalgunj.

CLUSTERS AS A FACTOR FOR THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF SERBIAN ENCLAVES IN KOSOVO

Agricultural holdings in Serbian enclaves in Kosovo represent a paradise for the survival, development and return of the displaced Serbian people. The method of observation and the method of analysis have examined the operation of agricultural holdings and clusters of vertical clusters - through a chain of agricultural holdings and institutions, as well as horizontals - through related entities using the same channels, as well as all state and regional bodies that can influence creation, functioning, growth and development of the cluster. By the method of synthesis, the authors give a solution that agricultural holdings will survive in the Albanian environment and should be joined in the form of clusters and doping warehouse development and to be the driver of the overall economic prosperity of the Serbian population in Kosovo. Problems of agricultural holdings in rural areas in Kosovo and Metohia are numerous, so it is necessary to enter into organized, economic and institutional measures in order to achieve strategic goals. In order to improve competitiveness on the market, agricultural holdings propose strategic linking to clusters, so joint holdings try to compensate for what they lack; human resources, working resources, finances (access to favorable credit sources), securing expansion of business links, tracking development trends, exchange of information on strategies, openness to new ideas, participation in the time and possibility of realization of joint investments, joint supply, new knowledge (organization of seminars ), training and conferences, joint marketing, visitshops), technologies. Associated in clusters of households reduce operating costs through unified procurement, joint market presence, joint participation in marketing, branding and transport costs to the end customer. State of Serbia (adoption of adequate legal regulations, tax incentives, incentives) of the local government in the enclaves (a number of programs for awarding grants or programs in the form of co-financing for newly founded clusters, intended for purchase of fixed assets, work of the cluster office, certification and introduction of a system for quality management) and the Faculty of Agriculture in Leskovo as a scientific and professional institution have an important positive, stimulating, and constructive role in the establishment of clusters, by providing expert advice. The development of the cluster achieves the wider economic, social and general social interests of the Serbian community from increasing employment in rural areas, stimulation of young people to stay in Kosovo, upgrading agricultural production and preserving the environment as well as other aspects in rural areas.

Effect of Air Pollutants on Peak Expiratory Flow Rate of Public Bus Drivers in Bhaktapur, Nepal

Background: Rapid increase in number of vehicles in Kathmandu valley over past decade and never ending road expansion projects has aggravated air pollution. People involved in transportation jobs for long duration like bus drivers, conductors are more vulnerable to ill effects of air pollutants. The purpose of the present study was to assess lung function of public bus drivers exposed to outdoor air pollution by means of PEFR.
 Methods: Fifty healthy, non smoking bus drivers were selected randomly from bus parks of Bhaktapur district. Anthropological records were taken. PEFR value was obtained by Mini Wright’s peak flow meter. Their mean PEFR was compared with 50, age matched control group involved in other office works.
 Results: The PEFR value was significantly lower among bus drivers than the control group (p<0.001). Mean PEFR decreased with increasing age and increased duration of bus driving.
 Conclusions: Our study concluded that PEFR value among bus drivers who are exposed to air pollutants for long period of time was significantly reduced.

ТЕЛЕВИЗИОННЫЙ И ГАЗЕТНЫЙ ТЕКСТЫ: СХОДСТВА И РАЗЛИЧИЯ

Recently the problem of traditional editorial offices transition to convergent ones has acquired special relevance. In new editorial offices, “universal journalists” often prepare materials for different media platforms. To create TV or newspaper texts it’s necessary to have experience of working in such editorial offices and to understand the specificity of text preparation methods. The article examines TV and newspaper journalistic texts. The materials are analysed by the example of the same news events, which allows identifying similarities and differences between them. The author examines approaches to text creation, vocabulary, syntax.

The underground workspaces questionnaire (UWSQ): Investigating public attitudes toward working in underground spaces

Over half of the global population lives in urban areas, making the issue of space a pressing environmental factor. The development of large-scale underground complexes in (mega-)cities is a solution to healthy urban growth and many governments have already adopted the development of underground (office) workspaces (UWS). Engineering can develop such high quality spaces; yet, there is limited understanding of how the public perceives UWS. UWS are not the same as other workspaces, and thus special assessment tools are needed. Here, we present the Underground Workspaces Questionnaire (UWSQ), which measures pre-occupant attitudes towards UWS. Analysis (N > 1000) identified three factors with positive aspects associated with feeling protected, whereas confinement was independent of affective responses. Predictably, responses to the three factors correlated with claustrophobia but were independent constructs. UWSQ can help policymakers and architects understand how populations holistically respond to the idea of working in an underground office.

158. Medical Care of Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Adolescents At The Geneva University Hospitals, Switzerland : A Qualitative Study To Explore The Challenges of Their Transition To Majority

The number of unaccompanied asylum-seeking adolescents (UASA) has increased in Switzerland in 2015, prompting medical teams to improve management of these young people and their transition towards adult medical care. About 5% of all UASA received in Switzerland are resettled in the region of Geneva. In 2015-2016, it locally represented a population group of 226 adolescents with numerous and complex health care needs (infectious and tropical diseases, nutritional deficiencies, long-standing illnesses and psychological distress). They all benefited from a medical check-up and follow-up by an adolescent medicine physician at the Geneva University Hospitals' Adolescents and Young Adults (AYA) Program. The aim of our project was to assess how this program prepared for the transition to the Adult Migrant Health (AMH) Program of the same hospitals. Semi-structured interviews were conducted from January to March 2017 with 6 health professionals (1 paediatrician, 1 physician in adolescent medicine, 1 Psychiatrist, 1 Psychologist, 1 Nurse and one adolescent physician working in private office) all working with unaccompanied minors in order to explore what preparations took place for minors reaching the age of majority. Interviews lasted in average 31 minutes and covered 5 main topics: 1) general information (previous professional experience with UASA, role in the transition), 2) medical and social situation of UASA before the age of 18, 3) anticipation of transition to majority, 4) challenges and opportunities of turning 18 and 5) proposals for better practice in the future. Health professionals are challenged when their patients reach majority by difficulties with network coordination, school integration and unadapted foster homes. The process of transition is described as an area of uncertainty. The need for continuity in health care was recognized; nevertheless the topic of the legal age and its consequences on the social status were rarely addressed in consultation, health professionals questioning themselves about the adequacy of their role in addressing this issue. Participants underlined the emotional consequences of this period of transition for these young people and worried about its impact on the most vulnerable. They also underlined that UASA should be considered in priority as proper adolescents before asylum seekers. This research identified the need to develop a structured medical and social transition program between the AYA Program and the AMH Program. The transition of care for young migrants is challenging for health professionals. An integrative and transversal understanding of this transition is needed, for instance by further exploring how the community responds to this transition and the impact on unaccompanied minors’ mental health. Health professionals need to address this transition during their consultation including social and legal aspects, before the age of 18, as part of the medical follow up. Results of this study allowed initiating changes, such as introducing a dedicated nurse as a link between the AYA and AMH programs and developing an interview grid to help health professionals evaluating medical and social challenges of former UASA transiting to their structures.

State Hygiene School as a Department of Education in the National Institute of Hygiene in Warsaw

The article presents the history of the establishment of the State School of Hygiene (PSH) in Poland after the First World War. The difficulties faced by the public health service in a country destroyed by war and created after the reunification of the lands, which for over 150 years remained under the control of three powers, were pointed out. It discusses how the foundations of modern teaching in the field of public health were created in the National Institute of Hygiene (PZH) in Warsaw, an institution to which the Ministry of Public Health entrusted tasks related to health education in the country. The State School of Hygiene was built by the Polish Government with a significant financial contribution from the John Davison Rockefeller Foundation. The official opening ceremony took place on 20 April 1926. The State School of Hygiene in Warsaw was the first such school in Europe. It educated professional staff for the health service in Poland, especially sanitary physicians, sanitary inspectors, nurses and staff to work in health offices. The importance and scope of influence of the State School of Hygiene as the Department of Education in the National Institute of Hygiene was constantly increasing, as evidenced by the number of students (about 800 per year) participating in courses, especially in the first years after its establishment. By the end of 1935, 6,389 students had completed the courses, including 1,900 physicians. Apart from the teaching activities, the State School of Hygiene also carried out research work. The State School of Hygiene was supported by the Rockefeller Foundation, which funded scholarships for the employees of the National Institute of Hygiene at university centers in the USA

Interaction of prosecutor's office with bodies, organisations, institutions as one of the directions of improvement of supervision of observance of the rights of the disabled

The article deals with the issue of interaction of the Prosecutor's office with bodies, organisations, institutions in the implementation of the Prosecutor's supervision of the rights of persons with disabilities. The author draws attention to the fact that such interaction is one of the directions of improvement of Prosecutor's supervision in this sphere. The article analyses the views of researchers about the Institute of interaction. The author attempts in the article to reveal the forms of interaction of the Prosecutor's office with the authorised bodies, which is the mutual exchange of information, involvement of specialists of control and Supervisory bodies, joint activities, accounting and current control over the implementation of the activities, informing about the work of the Prosecutor's office in the public domain, the participation of prosecutors in the consideration of their acts of prosecutorial response. The author concludes that each form of interaction plays an important role in the implementation of prosecutors ' supervision over the observance of the rights of persons with disabilities, but only their use together can lead to a successful result and increase the level of the rule of law in the field of observance of the rights of persons with disabilities.

Herman Melville Among the Magazines by Graham Thompson

Reviewed by: Herman Melville Among the Magazines by Graham Thompson Robert J. Scholnick GRAHAM THOMPSON Herman Melville Among the Magazines Amherst and Boston: University of Massachusetts Press, 2018. xiii + 249. In a 2008 article in American Periodicals on Charles Gordon Greene's Boston Post, I analyzed that influential Democratic daily's treatment of the three most prominent contemporary American novelists: Stowe, Hawthorne, and Melville. Although the Post was staunchly anti-abolitionist, it wrote positively of Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin, so emotionally gripping did the reviewer find the novel. It also regularly praised Hawthorne's fiction and even went out of its way to boost his fortunes. For instance, in June 1849 it publicized his dramatic "beheading," when he lost his position as Custom House Surveyor in Salem following the ascension of the Whig administration. Melville, however, the paper attacked with unparalleled bitterness and gratuitous cruelty in a series of extensive reviews almost certainly written by Greene himself. Greene could not abide Melville's idiosyncratic style, his refusal to conform to the conventions of fiction as Greene understood them. He urged readers not to waste their money on Moby-Dick and condemned Pierre as "perhaps the craziest fiction extant," a work that "might be supposed to emanate from a lunatic hospital rather than from the quiet retreats of Berkshire. We say it with grief—it is too bad for Mr. Melville to abuse his really fine talents as he does." Melville was undaunted. Remarkably, as Graham Thompson shows in Herman Melville Among the Magazines, Melville followed the commercial failure of Pierre in 1852 by wisely turning to the expanding New York periodical marketplace. Beginning with the appearance of "Bartleby, the Scrivener" in Putnam's Monthly Magazine in November and December 1853, he published some fourteen tales and sketches in periodicals over the next several years. Here Melville found a large and appreciative readership, much larger than for his novels, and earned not-insignificant sums. In May 1856, he gathered six tales in a volume released by Dix and Edwards under the title The Piazza Tales. With the exception of the title piece, "The Piazza," written especially for the volume, all the stories had appeared in Putnam's, including such masterpieces as "Bartleby, the Scrivener," "Benito Cereno," and "The Encantadas." [End Page 151] Although the periodical marketplace had enabled Melville to resume his literary career, he withdrew from that marketplace after the appearance of The Piazza Tales, a critical but not a commercial success. "In financial terms," Thompson argues, "Melville would have benefitted from more, not less, magazine writing" (207). We do not know why Melville elected to cease writing for the magazines but, thanks to Herman Melville Among the Magazines, we can understand just how important the magazine culture of the 1850s was in shaping him as a writer who transformed the tropes and conventions of periodical publishing with "dazzling displays of innovation" (xi). Thompson argues that Melville's "embedding" in the periodical culture of New York became a necessary condition for the creation of his short fiction: "We can ask how our understanding of Melville's authorship changes when we press his writing back between the leaves of the magazines in which it was published. And we can do so without allowing magazine publication to delimit the possible answers" (19). Thompson's book raises a number of important questions, including just how we should understand the interaction between a periodical's editorial direction and the meaning of particular works that appear in its pages. The first chapter, "The Plain Facts of Paper," recounts Melville's visit to a paper mill in Dalton, Massachusetts, that gave rise to, among other works, "The Paradise of Bachelors and the Tartarus of Maids." Eschewing what he calls an "allegorical reading" of this and other stories where paper figures prominently, Thompson emphasizes Melville's representation of the material reality of paper itself (39). He claims that in "Bartleby, the Scrivener," the title character's series of refusals to participate in the work of the law office "can be seen as an aversion not to the reading and writing that is the stuff of authorship but an aversion to interacting with paper itself" (41...

The Letters Exchanged between Yi I (Yulgok) and Song Ikp'il (Kubong) Concerning the Kyŏngmong yogyŏl

The Letters Exchanged between Yi I (Yulgok) and Song Ikp'il (Kubong) Concerning the Kyŏngmong yogyŏl Sanghoon Na (bio) Introduction The purpose of this translation is to introduce the letters exchanged between Yi I and his friend Song Ikp'il concerning the Kyŏngmong yogyŏl 擊蒙要訣 (Essential instructions on rectifying folly), thereby identifying the role Song Ikp'il played in the making of this text. Most previous translators and researchers have been unaware that the Kyŏngmong yogyŏl circulated in a draft version that Yi I revised after intensive review by his close friend Song Ikp'il. This fact is evidenced by letters exchanged between the two in which they discuss the work. I provide translations of these letters to inform readers of the issues raised in the letters and call attention to the differences between the first draft and the published work. [End Page 311] Kyŏngmong yogyŏl: A Reconstruction of its Inception 1. Yi I Yi I 李珥 (1536–1584), pen name Yulgok 栗谷,1 was a scholar and statesman. His character is well reflected in his work, the Kyŏngmong yogyŏl, the subject matter of which ranges from learning to working in a government office. Yi I was born in Kangnŭng, Kangwŏn Province and his ancestral home was Tŏksu 德水 (in modern Kaesŏng, Hwanghae Province). He came from a family with a long tradition of producing government officials.2 His mother was Lady Sin of Pyŏngsan, better known as Sin Saimdang 申師任堂 (1504–1551).3 She was well versed in the Chinese classics, calligraphy, and painting. Under his mother's guidance Yi I began to study Literary Sinitic and by the time he was seven he could understand the Chinese classics well.4 At age nineteen, in 1554, he formed lifelong friendships with Sŏng Hon 成渾 (1535–1598)5 and Song Ikp'il 宋翼弼 (1534–1599).6 In 1564 he won first place in the classics examination. He then [End Page 312] obtained the position of assistant section-chief at the Ministry of Taxation and successively filled the following positions: secretary for the royal embassy honoring the birthday of the crown prince of Ming and king's editor (1568); fifth royal secretary, censor of criminal activities, and governor of Hwanghae province (1574); minister of taxation (1581); and minister of personnel (1582). He died in Seoul at the age of forty-nine in 1584 and was buried near his parents in P'aju, Kyŏnggi Province. Between his official postings, he offered his resignation numerous times for various reasons including illness and being unfit for duty. Sometimes these resignations were accepted, but several times they were not. King Sŏnjo liked to keep Yi I nearby at all times even though he did not like to follow Yi I's admonitions.7 Nevertheless, Yi I succeeded in leaving office temporarily in 1576 when a factional split between Easterners (Tongin) and Westerners (Sŏin) developed.8 He went to his wife's hometown Haeju in Hwanghae Province. The next year he built a shrine for the purpose of performing sacrificial rites with his family, which must have been a valuable experience for him as he composed chapter seven of the Kyŏngmong yogyŏl. These years seem to have been the most peaceful time in his life. Meanwhile, he was visited by a few students asking questions about how to learn. He wanted to give them something more than a makeshift answer or a desultory talk about learning. Thus, he came to write the Kyŏngmong yogyŏl in 1577 in which he could provide them, and other students up to the current day, with systematic instructions on learning. 2. Kyŏngmong yogyŏl The text consists of ten chapters, the topics of which are organized progressively from individual learning to daily family life and finally social and official life. Yi I states in the preface that the ten chapters contain lessons on "how to form one's will, set one's body in order, serve one's parents, and deal with people." More specifically, chapter 1 covers the necessity of resolving to learn and a [End Page 313] student's potential. Chapter 2...

Teaching College Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

According to Wei, Wagner, Hudson, Yu & Javitz(2016), approximately 33% of students diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the K-12 setting pursue higher education. As more children are being identified in schools, more are transitioning into postsecondary settings (Gelbar, Smith, & Reichow, 2014). While college personnel working in counseling, disability, and guidance offices may have some familiarity with working with students with ASD, many faculty do not. This increase in the number of students with ASD present on college campuses makes it pivotal that professors understand the population with whom they are working (Barnhill, 2016). This literature review aims to increase faculty awareness on working with college students with ASD through a discussion on the challenges of college students with ASD, and evidence-based practices that may be incorporated into postsecondary settings. It will include practical tips for faculty on ways to help students transition from high school to college life by catering to their social and academic needs

Processual Approach toward Organizational Change: A Case of “Russian Post”

Organization studies suggest a variety of approaches to organizational change. The majority of them considers change as a transition between various stances of an entity in two periods of time. In contrast, a processual approach views change as a process that literally predates and enables existence of the organization. This perspective provides a researcher with more fruitful data of interconnections between macro-level innovations and their implementations in employee micro-practices. Based on empirical data collected with organizational ethnography at FSUE “Russian Post” I illustrate how different by speed and content were simultaneous changes in the institutional context and daily work of the post offices. An introduction of IP-telephony and installation of Internet access points show that attempts to distinguish clear stages of change rather characterize organization as dysfunctional and irrational. At the same time, a processual lens overcomes these theoretical limitations.

Między archiwistyką a architekturą informacji

Archival science, information science, records management, and information management are allied sciences. Recently, there are tendencies to merge them into information science, recognising, that despite some differences, every field copes with information. It is a big simplification of the problem, and searching for direct roots of information science in works of archives is another understatement, because this approach does not see archival science as grown from practical works of archives and having explicitly separate research object, which are archives and archival materials. Not contesting fair arguments for seeing archival science as one of information sciences, it must be stressed, that only one of its divisions – archival information resulted from arrangement and description of archival materials – is a research object shared with information science. The situation is similar with records management, that was born on the ground of studying works of offices and records circulation, from creation until their destruction or archiving permanently. Regardless of modern information and communication technologies, that substantially influenced methods of creating and passing on records, and other office works, as well as the way archives perform their functions, the specific nature of archival science and records management, that previously determined their autonomy, still remains. The cooperation with specialists of information science, with information architects is possible in accordance to practice – which is records management and archival information on the Web.

Archiwiści i maszyny

The history of archives is also the history of technical equipment used by archivists. In last decades the role of machines has grown excessively, although archival science developed interest in their advanced models relatively late. The development of archival tools (machines) took evolutionary lead. In the pre-partition and the early-modern periods they were used mainly for storage, transportation, maintenance, and providing access to archival materials. Just in the 20th century the Polish lands saw machines used for easing office works and maintaining contacts, which are typewriters and telephones. They enabled faster and more readable writing in several copies at once, as well as connecting archives to the outer world. The second half of the 20th century led to significant development in technical capabilities in conservation, preservation, and reprography. The technology was developing, and even though it did affect the work of archivists, it was unacceptable to have changed its clue. The situation lasted until there emerged computer technology, which was a revolution in archival tasks and still has essential influence on work and awareness of archivists. The machine started to impact the methods of archival work. Under the influence of the machine the system of archival information started to change, which slowly imposed changes in practical works. There emerged a lasting tendency to force on archivists some changes in traditional methods of archival works. The work and experience of past generations were subdued to newly developed description standards, adapted to the language and operational possibilities of the machine. The article reflects on the role of machines in archives, which is also a pretext for contemplating the evolution of the place and role of an archivist in contemporary archives.

Homonyms in Defenitions in Normative Documents on Records Management and Archive Business

The construction of noncontradictory term systems is necessary in archival science, documental science and other documental and information sciences. Moreover, the construction of the documentology term system, which generalizes definitions and optimizes basic terms and schemes of documental and information sciences both like related sciences, coordinates the term systems construction of these disciplines, is needed under conditions of interdisciplinarity in Science.Definitions analysis of terminological standards and legislation on office works and archival sciences reveals sometimes the presence of definitions homonymy like sentences both like their components as syntagms. The elimination of this kind of homonymy serves as a condition of noncontradictive construction of term systems in document science and archival science.

Condition and measures to improve dental care for the population of the Southern Federal district of Russia

Рresents information on the level of dental care for the urban and rural population of the Southern FederalDistrict of the Russian Federation, which were obtained based on dental examination data of 3658 adults (1524 men and2134 women) of young and middle-aged (from 21 to 59 years) city and countryside. It was established that urban residentshad significantly lesser untreated carious lesions, including caries of the filled tooth, and removed teeth that were not restoredwith dentures. The main causes of tooth loss, regardless of sex and place of residence, were complicated caries (periodontitis)and periodontal pathology (periodontitis heavier). In men and women living in the city, the intensity of the carious processwas 11,54±0,82 and 9,14±0,67, respectively; while those living in rural areas, respectively, 12,26±0,64 and 11,44±0,68. Thelevel of dental care varied significantly depending on the place of residence and, regardless of gender, the urban populationwas characterized as satisfactory (the index of the level of dental care for men is 53,47%; for women is 60,5%), and ruralresidents as insufficient (the index of the level of dental care for men is 39,07%; for women is 40,12%). The need to improvethe material and technical base of state (municipal) medical and preventive institutions providing dental care to rural residents,as well as the resumption of the work of dental mobile teams or mobile dental offices, based at the regional, regional anddistrict hospitals. It was noted that industrial and agricultural enterprises can help the dental health of villagers greatly byorganizing dental offices with their medical-sanitary units and medical centers.
