Insight Into

The Conventional method of assessing the direct costs or the aircraft type costs on a passenger mile or ton mile basis does not necessarily give a sufficient indication of the economic merit of a particular type of transport aircraft. It can be misleading when comparing aircraft of widely different design, and it does not indicate the best routes for effective airline exploitation.The profit margin in relation to the fundamental cost or investment unit of the individual airline must be the ultimate yardstick of transport aircraft selection and this is here analysed with a view to providing further insight into the optimum conditions for potential profits. This study of the subject draws attention to the primary factors involved and suggests a criterion which can be simplified into a form valid for most airline economies.

The nature nurture issue has been an important debate in all aspects of the individual development. According to Jensen’s heritability ratio, hereditary has an impeccable influence in the development process. Based on these, dermatoglyphics has been used in the present case study in order to observe the innate potential of an individual, to give parents an insight into their child’s hidden potential and to groom them effectively. The present case study is confined to the acquiring methods and unique quotients of the subject. The findings of the study revealed the unique quotients of the subject and the best suitable acquisition method for the subject.  Aim/Purpose: To test the methods of learning and unique quotients of the subject with the help of Dermatoglyphics Multiple Intelligence Test DMIT.  Int.

The traditional way of providing feedback to students after tests or assignments is labour-intensive. This paper explains the concepts and techniques used by the author to build computer-based applications that analyse students’ answers and generate individualised, detailed and constructive feedback. The paper explains how the data gathered from a student’s answers can be combined with other knowledge about the subject matter being taught, and the specific test questions, to create computerised routines that evaluate the individual student’s performance. This information can be presented in ways that help students to assess their progress, both in relation to their acquired knowledge in specified areas of study, and with regard to their ability to exercise relevant skills. In this way, appropriate feedback can be provided to large numbers of students quickly and efficiently. The same techniques can be used to provide information to the instructor about the performance of the group as a whole, with a degree of detail and accuracy that exceeds the impressions usually gained through traditional marking. The paper also explains the role of the subject instructor in designing and creating feedback-generating applications. The methodologies described provide insight into the details of the process and are a useful basis for further experimentation and development.

Insight Into

There are briefly presented two trends in security sciences developed in the last 10 years: the issues of security culture and the issues of personal safety. Both approaches to security designate methods of threefold insight into the state of security and ways to improve it for an individual and a group. The subject of the discussion will be a comparative analysis of these two approaches to securitology. The research hypothesis is that the approach focused on personal safety emphasizes the importance of the cultural tradition of an individual or group, while the approach focused on the culture of security raises the importance of appropriate shaping of the security structure. This correspondence clearly refers to the determinants of personal safety. The discussed topic is very important for the development of theoretical securitology, especially in connection with the increasingly topical issues of the so-called multiculturalism in a globalizing world. Determinants of personal safety make it possible to study (also in an empirical way) of the individual and group feelings of security. In this way, the combination of the security culture and the presented concept of personal safety opens the way to the humanization of securitology.

Insight Into

Antibiotic therapy is expected to impact host microbial communities considerably, yet many studies focused on microbiome and health are often confounded by limited information about antibiotic exposure. Given that antibiotics have diverse pharmacokinetic and antimicrobial properties, investigating the type and concentration of these agents in specific host specimens would provide much needed insight into their impact on the microbes therein. Here, we developed liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) methods to detect 18 antibiotic agents in sputum from persons with cystic fibrosis. Antibiotic spike-in control samples were used to compare three liquid extraction methods on the Waters Acquity Quattro Premier XE. Extraction with dithiothreitol captured the most antibiotics and was used to detect antibiotics in sputum samples from 11 people with cystic fibrosis, with results being compared to the individuals' self-reported antibiotic use. For the sputum samples, two LC-MS assays were used; the Quattro Premier detected nanomolar or micromolar concentrations of 16 antibiotics, whereas the Xevo TQ-XS detected all 18 antibiotics, most at sub-nanomolar levels. In 45% of tested sputum samples (71/158), at least one antibiotic that was not reported by the subject was detected by both LC-MS methods, a discordance largely explained by the thrice weekly administration and long half-life of azithromycin. For ∼37% of samples, antibiotics reported as taken by the individual were not detected by either instrument. Our results provide an approach for detecting a variety of antibiotics at the site of infection, thereby providing a means to include antibiotic usage data into microbiome studies.

Our modern world appears to lack a way to find truth. Philosophically, this problem is formulated in a manner of knowing which never gets beyond the subject of the universe; even objectivity in the universe is arguable. The effort called empirical science then gives us conclusions that regularly perpetuate an unstable world. Due to this real subjective empirical constraint, the usual approach to therapeutic Counseling offers methods focused on the individual obtaining skills and conceptions that function to mitigate the apparent and ubiquitous problem of modernity. Empirical science, whether it be physical, biological or phenomenal, has left us with only problem; it leaves us in a lurch, right in the middle of a contradiction of a subject able to know truth. This is the main problem of mental health. I propose that modern problems of mental health cannot be solved truly with reference to what I call the conventional method of experiment and argumentative reason. We require a true and knowable substance of the universe if we are to gain headway. To this end, I propose a unitive discipline of Counseling founded in what is true of the universe. Less about the negotiation between subjects and more about what is true of that negotiation. This essay uses the philosophy of Graham Harman, called Object Oriented Ontology, or “Triple-O”, as a means to begin to establish the truthful substance of Counseling as a discipline in its own right, which is to say as well, as a universal object.

The subject of the paper is a methodical approach to word formation in primary school on the example of Milosav Tesic's poetry. The aim is to determine the models of formation of lexemes marked with the label individually and to give methodical recommendations for the incorporation of the analyzed models of formation in the teaching process. The creative analysis includes lexemes that represent: (1) the individual work of the poet and (2) standard language lexemes to which the poet gave a new meaning, not recorded in the RMS. The corpus was made on the basis of an insight into the anthological collection entitled U tesnom skpopu, as well as on the basis of critical texts by A. Petrovic. The creative analysis came to the conclusion that the largest number of individualisms was created by agreement, and the most numerous products are semi-complex, so these models can be examples to show these models of creation in primary school. A brief review of the work is given in order to show the poet's treatment of the mother tongue with special attention with the constant creation of new words which re-creates and renews his poetry, as well as to justify in some way the suitability of the topic for creative and semantic research. Serbian, and thus as interesting and easy to remember examples of word formation in primary school. Based on the conducted analysis, pedagogical implications for teaching practice will be given, which concern: (1) the possibility of processing word formation models in primary school and (2) examples of tasks for practicing the acquired knowledge.

Employment of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to assess the contributions of management student team members is described. The students perform this assessment as well as the subject constrictor. The assessments are correlated with the individual team role-assignments to making a final determine of the contributions of the individual to the team effort. Using this evaluation technique appears to provide candidate student peer input for evaluations. The results demonstrated that the student ranking is more likely influenced by the relative importance of teaming, computering skills and management and by sub-criteria, communication, innovation, determination and cooperation. The study sheds importance insight into an area of multi-criteria decision making and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP).

Abstract. The importance of various trait dimensions explaining positive global self-esteem has been the subject of numerous studies. While some have provided support for the importance of agency, others have highlighted the importance of communion. This discrepancy can be explained, if one takes into account that people define and value their self both in individual and in collective terms. Two studies ( N = 367 and N = 263) examined the extent to which competence (an aspect of agency), morality, and sociability (the aspects of communion) promote high self-esteem at the individual and the collective level. In both studies, competence was the strongest predictor of self-esteem at the individual level, whereas morality was the strongest predictor of self-esteem at the collective level.
