Abstract: This study aims to evaluate the implementation of electives in interest groups in SMA and MA in Lembang District. As for the background in this paper is that in the current 2013 curriculum in force in Indonesia there is now a electives whose purpose is to provide a platform for learners to expand their interests and talents beyond the choice of interests according to their interests, talents, and ability by considering the value report cards, national examination scores, and counseling guidance counseling recommendations at the time the learners are in junior high school. The preliminary study that the authors do that the implementation of electives is not yet effective. Therefore, researchers try to evaluate the implementation of electives in the interest groups in high school and MA in the District of Lembang. Data collection techniques in this study are interviews and documentation studies. The result of this research is the implementation of elevtives in the interest groups in SMA and MA in Lembang not in accordance with the guidelines made by kemendikbud. Such incompatibility in terms of the subject selection process in electives. Schools determine what subjects learners get when it should learners themselves who should choose subjects in the electives. This impact on learning outcomes of learners. Factors that cause electives implementation are not in accordance with the guidelines kemendikbud such as the number of teachers, the number of students, as well as limited facilities and infrastructure. Keywords: Evaluation, Electives, Interset Group

The political science profession is very far indeed from having pronounced its last word on the subject of the reforms of the presidential nomination process which have so dramatically transformed American elections and the party system. The current wave of reform began over a decade ago, and, more or less on schedule, political scientists have now begun regularly to report findings that suggest that they have been incorporating questions about the consequences of these reforms into their research.Many observers quite rightly have noted that central to debate about party reform among politicians and commentators have been questions of legitimacy that reflect varying conceptions of democratic theory. In this brief essay, I will consider a few of these questions further and speculate about the respects in which the work of political scientists might assist in resolving them.Perhaps the earliest questions arose over the changes that reform seemed to induce in the sorts of people taking part in the national party conventions. Questions arose as to their “representativeness”—and especially in light of two successive Democratic national conventions— 1968 and 1972—at which there were many challenges to the right of delegates to be present. In 1968 the complaints centered on the propriety of seating delegates selected earlier than the election year and selected through processes dominated by state party leaders rather than by the insurgent forces of protest over the war in Vietnam. These complaints were largely ineffective in influencing the outcome of the 1968 nomination, but their impact on subsequent events was substantial. They formed the basis upon which the Democratic party undertook to examine the delegate selection process in its McGovern-Fraser Commission of 1969, and people associated with these complaints staffed the Commission.

Abstract The way research is, and should be, funded by the public sphere is the subject of renewed interest for sociology, economics, management sciences, and more recently, for the philosophy of science. In this contribution, I propose a qualitative, epistemological criticism of the funding by lottery model, which is advocated by a growing number of scholars as an alternative to peer review. This lottery scheme draws on the lack of efficiency and of robustness of the peer-review-based evaluation to argue that the majority of public resources for basic science should be allocated randomly. I first differentiate between two distinct arguments used to defend this alternative funding scheme based on considerations about the logic of scientific research. To assess their epistemological limits, I then present and develop a conceptual frame, grounded on the notion of ‘system of practice’, which can be used to understand what precisely it means, for a research project, to be interesting or significant. I use this epistemological analysis to show that the lottery model is not theoretically optimal, since it underestimates the integration of all scientific projects in densely interconnected systems of conceptual, experimental, or technical practices which confer their proper interest to them. I also apply these arguments in order to criticize the classical peer-review process. I finally suggest, as a discussion, that some recently proposed models that bring to the fore a principle of decentralization of the evaluation and selection process may constitute a better alternative, if the practical conditions of their implementation are adequately settled.

In November 2014 the New South Wales (NSW) Government set out a series of actions to pause, reset and restart a sustainable gas industry for NSW. NSW gas demand and supply reinforce the need for the development of a gas industry. Under this reset, gas exploration areas will be released through the Strategic Release Framework process. The Framework is an independent and transparent process. Utilising geological, economic, environmental and social data including the outcomes of community engagement, areas considered suitable for exploration will be nominated for release. The Framework recognises that there are competing uses for land, and seeks to balance these interests. The Advisory Body, being the independent review body, will conduct these assessments. All release areas will be the subject of a competitive selection process.

The LYMAN project has been the subject of industrial Phase A studies in both Australia, and within ESA. These studies have demonstrated an extremely useful international collaboration, as well as a very successful collaboration between University and Industry. Working together, we have identified all critical problems of feasibility, and have developed at least one, usually more than one, method of overcoming these while remaining within the cost and complexity envelope of the overall mission.The LYMAN mission will be the subject of a competitive selection process within ESA at the end of November 1988. One of five projects will be selected to go forward into later phases. However, the Australian LSWG are confident that, with the enormous support that the LYMAN project commands on both sides of the Atlantic, with the tremendous scientific merit of the proposed mission, and with the demonstration of feasibility of the mission in two separate Phase A studies, that LYMAN will be the successful candidate.

AbstractKnee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common musculoskeletal disease without a cure, and current treatment options are limited to symptomatic relief. Prediction of OA progression is a very challenging and timely issue, and it could, if resolved, accelerate the disease modifying drug development and ultimately help to prevent millions of total joint replacement surgeries performed annually. Here, we present a multi-modal machine learning-based OA progression prediction model that utilises raw radiographic data, clinical examination results and previous medical history of the patient. We validated this approach on an independent test set of 3,918 knee images from 2,129 subjects. Our method yielded area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.79 (0.78–0.81) and Average Precision (AP) of 0.68 (0.66–0.70). In contrast, a reference approach, based on logistic regression, yielded AUC of 0.75 (0.74–0.77) and AP of 0.62 (0.60–0.64). The proposed method could significantly improve the subject selection process for OA drug-development trials and help the development of personalised therapeutic plans.

This study exposes the opinions of a group of former directors of public schools in Chile who were selected by the system of high public management, and who had to leave their posts before the end of their appointment period. The responses evidence the fragility of the local organization of public education, in terms of the interference of the local political authority in the early dismissal of school leaders and identify the various pressures the leaders received from the higher authorities in the exercise of their position. The main problems they faced were the lack of support during the installation phases as well as a lack of monitoring and evaluation of their performance, which are widespread among Latin American countries, given the trends. This paper examines the selection process for High Public Management, the background on the subject, the answers of the interviewees, and an analysis of the interviews. It concludes with some proposals to improve the selection system.

O presente estudo propôs a realização de uma revisão bibliográfica com critérios de busca e seleção utilizadas pela revisão sistemática, tendo como principal objetivo a identificação dos efeitos oriundos do processo de terceirização no setor de gerenciamento dos serviços de saúde. Este, por sua vez, respaldou-se em estudos que versam a respeito da temática abordada, publicados nas bases de dados MEDLINE e SciELO, onde passaram por um processo de seleção, resultando num acervo de 15 artigos. Dentre os resultados encontrados pôde-se observar que a evolução do processo de terceirização trouxe benefícios de suma relevância para o âmbito da saúde, principalmente no que concerne à redução dos custos orçamentais de diversas unidades de saúde, favorecendo o acesso aos usuários dos serviços da saúde, e consequentemente promovendo uma melhoria na qualidade dos atendimentos a essa clientela. No entanto, alguns estudos mostraram algumas falhas no setor administrativo que levaram ao surgimento de sérios problemas no âmbito financeiro. Portanto, é imprescindível que haja a instituição de medidas preventivas e de monitoramento direcionadas ao processo, a fim de se evitar futuros contratempos. THE OUTSOURCING PROCESS CONSEQUENCES FOR MANAGEMENT OF HEALTH SERVICES SECTOR ABSTRACT The present study proposed the accomplishment of a bibliographic review with search and selection criteria used by the systematic review, having as main objective the identification of the effects arising from the process of outsourcing in the health services management sector. This was supported by studies on the subject, published in the MEDLINE and SciELO databases, where they underwent a selection process, resulting in a collection of 15 articles. Among the results found, it was observed that the evolution of the outsourcing process brought benefits of great relevance to the health field, mainly in relation to the reduction of the budgetary costs of several health units, favoring access to the users of health services and consequently promoting an improvement in the quality of care to this population. However, some studies have shown some flaws in the administrative sector that have led to the emergence of serious financial problems. Therefore, it is essential that preventive and monitoring measures be taken in order to avoid future setbacks.

The purpose of this research is to conduct cost minimisation analysis of coronary angiography interventions with Transradial (TRA) and Transfemoral (TFA) approach. Thus, operators will be guided in relation with intervention selection and cardiovascular area on the subject matter will be enriched which is quite inadequate with a cost analysis sample. The research has been conducted by evaluating and examining of data of the patients who had coronary angiography. Population of the research consists of angiography interventions in the scope of the research carried out within the year of 2013 in a Cardiology Clinic of a tertiary hospital. Patient records were randomly selected. At the end of the research, the findings have revealed that the costs of TRA and TFA have been respectively Turkish Liras (TRY)746,214 and TRY 710,040. The cost of TRA approach is higher than TFA approach. On the other hand, experts’ opinion is that TRA approach is a more reliable alternative compared to TFA approach. In the selection process of the approach to be used by the operators, it would be beneficial for the patients when both the cost and results of the intervention are considered simultaneously.
