ABSTRACTThe paper was prepared by an informal working party as an introduction to an open forum discussion. It considers from several viewpoints the relationship between the actuary and the computer, both in its function as a calculating tool and as a data processing and storage medium. The paper considers in detail the requirements of the Appointed Actuary for adequate data, the problems of allocating and pricing for computer costs and the increasing uses of computer modelling in financial reporting. The place of computer literacy in actuarial education, future developments and standards are also considered.

Abstract A national survey was conducted to ascertain the relationship of the cyclohexylamine content of cyclamate-containing products to their composition, processing, and storage conditions. Cyclohexylamine was found in 174 of the 232 samples examined. The cyclohexylamine content range for each major type of food product was as follows: 0.0–8.2 ppm for carbonated beverages; 0.0–5.8 ppm for dry beverage bases; 0.0–1.5 ppm for fruit juices; 0.0–0.8 ppm for weight control foods; and 0.3–66 ppm for food sweetener preparations (liquid and dry base). No correlation between the cyclamate content of products and the cyclohexylamine present was evident. However, the findings indicate that significant hydrolysis of cyclamate can occur.

And Storage

The current studies investigated the processing and storage of lexical metaphors and metonyms by combining two existing methodologies from ambiguity research: counting the number of senses (as in e.g., Rodd, Gaskell, & Marslen-Wilson, 2002) and determining the relationship between those senses (as in e.g., Klepousniotou & Baum, 2007). We have called these two types of ambiguity ‘numerical polysemy’ and ‘relational polysemy’. Studies employing a lexical decision task (Experiment 1) and semantic categorization task (Experiment 2) compared processing of metaphorical and non-metaphorical words while controlling for number of senses. The effects of relational polysemy were investigated in more detail with a further lexical decision study (Experiment 3). Results showed a metaphor advantage and metonymy disadvantage which conflict with earlier findings of reverse patterns (e.g., Klepousniotou & Baum, 2007). The fact that both conventional lexical metaphors and metonyms can incur either processing advantages or disadvantages strongly suggests they are not inherently stored differently in the mental lexicon.

Introduction. Currently, the factors that affect male reproductive health are not well understood. The aim of study is to research the risk factors for male reproductive health disorders. Materials and methods. The study was an online test, the software of which is implemented using a specially developed data processing and storage scheme, as a separate page of the site. The study included questions related to marital status, level of education, lifestyle, a block of questions related to work, and also used standardized questionnaires: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), diagnosis of stress (A.O. Prokhorov), questionnaire on the symptoms of aging in men (SAM), international index of erectile function (IIEF-5). Results. The results of the study showed that every second man has signs of androgen deficiency, and every fourth man has erectile dysfunction, despite the fact that the majority of respondents are less than 45 years old. Conclusions. The relationship between the presence of stress, depression and androgen deficiency was revealed, which significantly increases the risk of male reproductive health disorders.

Ice is a water that cooled below 0 °C and used for complement in drink. Ice can be found almost everywhere, including in the Wahid Hasyim Sempaja Roadside. From the preliminary test, obtained 5 samples ice cube were contaminated by Escherichia coli. The purpose of this study was to determine relationship between hygiene and sanitation with presence of Eschericia coli in ice cube of home industry at Wahid Hasyim Roadside Samarinda. This research used quantitative with survey methode. The population in this study was all of the seller in 2nd Wahid Hasyim Roadside. Sample was taken by Krejcie and Morgan so the there were 44 samples and used Cluster Random Sampling. The instruments are questionnaries, observation and laboratory test. Data analysis was carried out univariate and bivariate (using Fisher test p= 0.05). The conclusion of this study there are a relation between chosing raw material (p=0,03) and saving raw material (p=0,03) with presence of Eschericia coli. There was no relation between processing raw material into ice cube with presence of Eschericia coli (p=0,15).Advice that can be given to ice cube should maintain hygiene and sanitation of the selection, processing and storage of ice cube.
