Epidemiological Surveys

Microcomputers have been used for data entry, updating and checking during a field survey of health conditions after earthquake in Southern Italy.Although the basic procedure of interview and processing is the same as with conventional paper archives, benefits were seen to result from local statistical processing, fastness of file construction, monitoring of the quality of information collection. Local temperature and electricity distribution are clearly a problem. The need for a general software framework that can be adapted to several epidemiological surveys is emphasized.

The paper considers the problem of information credibility. Currently, such a problem is affecting scientists, as well as ordinary people who are dependent on information networks. Hence, the Author formulates three postulates that should be observed in dealing with the quality of information: P1 – identify the source of information, P2 – determine the level of credibility of the information source, P3 – recognize the purpose of information dissemination. The first two postulates are universal because they are applicable to all the users of information. The third becomes more and more important in the social and political choices of citizens. In scientific work, empirical facts are being transformed to empirical data (increasingly, to the form of big data) which are results of advanced registration and processing by means of technical and information science tools, such as: a) technical transforming the empirical signal into information; b) statistical selection of signals, and, next, statistical processing of the received data; c) assessment of results for suitability in applications. Other “epistemic” factors, however, are also involved, as: d) conceptual apparatus used for idealization (and then for interpretation), e) assessment of the results in terms of compliance with the epistemological (sometimes, also commercial or ideological) position. All these factors should be the subject of careful study of errology proposed by P. Homola.

The purpose of the research is to investigate the quality of spring-finger harrow surface tillage to provoke the germination of carrion depending on the angle of the fingers. Research methods: theoretical – analysis of information resources and research results of spring harrows; laboratory-field – economic tests of the machine with planning of experiment, fixing of agrotechnical indicators; instrumental measurements; mathematical and statistical – processing of the obtained indicators and expert evaluation. Results. Experimental field studies of the quality of surface tillage with a spring-finger harrow were carried out in order to provoke the emergence of winter rapeseed. It was found that the harrow loosens and mulches the top layer of soil well, creating optimal conditions for the germination of weeds and weed seeds. The importance of the agrotechnical measure of field litter management and prospects for the use of spring-finger harrows in the system of soil-protective agriculture is analytically substantiated. Conclusions. The physical parameters obtained as a result of researches of a spring-finger harrow testify that at speed about 20 km / h with increase of an angle of inclination of spring fingers depth of their course increases in 1,6 times from 7,2 cm to 11,3 cm that corresponds to agricultural requirements to spring harrows (4-12 cm). The quality of soil crushing in terms of agronomically valuable aggregates up to 0-25 mm in size increases with satisfactory to excellent values with increasing angle of inclination of the fingers. The results of experimental studies show that the heavy spring-finger harrow Degelman Strawmaster SM 7000-50, in the presence of freshly cut rapeseed stubble of large size and clumps of chaff, provides satisfactory tillage, promoting the germination of rapeseed seeds and improving phytosanitary conditions for future field operations.

This writing is done to determine the effect of information quality and service quality on attitudes in the use of application systems with the ease of use of the system as an intervining variable in online transportation services (gojek) in Yogyakarta. The sample in this study is customers who use online motorcycle transportation services in Yogyakarta. The sampling technique uses accidental sampling technique. Data collection is done by distributing online questionnaires through the Goegle form and distributed with social media such as WhatsApp and Instagram on a 1-4 scale to measure 4 indicators. The results of this study show 1) the quality of information affects the ease of use, 2) the quality of service affects the ease of use, 3) the quality of information influences attitudes in use, 4) the quality of services does not affect attitudes in use, and 5) ease of use attitude in use.

This article aims to explain maqâṣid al-Qur’ân according to M. Quraish Shihab and its application in interpreting verses related to the use of social media. The problem that will be answered in this article covers two main issues, namely how the perspective of maqâṣid al-Qur’ân according to M. Quraish Shihab and how it is applied in interpreting the verses of the use of social media. The method used is the thematic method, namely discussing verses based on themes. Fr om this study the authors concluded that according to M. Quraish Shihab there are six elements of a large group of universal goals of the al-Qur’ân, namely strengthening the faith, humans as caliphs, unifying books, law enforcement, callers to the ummah of wasathan, and mastering world civilization. The quality of information lies in the strength of the monotheistic dimension which is the highest peak of the Qur’anic maqâṣid. M. Quraish Shihab offers six diction which can be done by recipients of information in interacting on social media. Thus, it aims to usher in the knowledge and understanding of what is conveyed in carrying out human mission as caliph, enlightenment through oral and written, law enforcement, unifying mankind and the universe to the ummah of wasathan, and mastery of world civilization

The quality and content of information in the article media text is based on scientific classification of linguistic features. The study of functional styles of speech, the identification of their linguistic signs, the discovery of the functional properties of linguistic units and their separation on the basis of linguistic facts is one of thetasks that modern linguistics is waiting for a solution. Text Linguistics, which deals with the creation, modeling of its structure and the study of the process of such activity, is of interest to journalists today as a science.

The purpose of this article is to present the correlation between management of an economic entity and the development of ethical accounting dilemmas in the era of high-risk business. In the globalisation era and recurring economic crises, realisation of the objectives of a company takes place under high risk conditions. It is therefore necessary to use a proper management system. The necessary condition for making all decisions is to have relevant information. The value and relevance of these decisions depend on the quality of information which they have been based on. Lack of ethics in accounting has a direct impact on the company's management, which is based on information generated by the accounting system of the company. Ethical dilemmas arising in accounting are also ethical dilemmas arising in the process of business management.
