AbstractDawn Jones discusses the findings from an in-house project looking at how agile and flexible working can be successfully adopted by legal and business professionals. It is based on information gained from speaking to those with agile and flexible working already entrenched in their businesses, external consultants who advise on this change of working habits and internal teams and individuals who are already exercising agile and flexible working (albeit in a non-formal way). It is a high level guide to start thought processes around the differences between agile and flexible working, the people, the offices and the finances.

Computer vision may be a field of computer science that trains computers to interpret and perceive the visual world. exploitation digital pictures from cameras and videos and deep learning models, machines will accurately determine and classify objects — and so react to what they "see.”. Computer vision is Associate in Nursing knowledge domain scientific field that deals with however computers will gain high-level understanding from digital pictures or videos. From the angle of engineering, it seeks to grasp and alter tasks that the human sensory system will do. Computer vision tasks embrace strategies for exploit, processing, analyzing and understanding digital pictures, and extraction of high-dimensional knowledge from the important world so as to supply numerical or symbolic info, e.g. within the styles of selections. Understanding during this context suggests that the transformation of visual pictures (the input of the retina) into descriptions of the planet that be to thought processes and might elicit acceptable action. This image understanding will be seen because the disentangling of symbolic info from image knowledge mistreatment models created with the help of pure mathematics, physics, statistics, and learning theory.

Stres merupakan suatu kondisi ketegangan yang mempengaruhi emosi, proses berpikir dan kondisi fisik seseorang. Stres dapat menyebabkan seseorang kehilangan minat, nafsu makan memunculkan perasaan rendah diri bahkan lebih buruknya dapat membuat seseorang ingin bunuh diri. Pengaruh stres terhadap tubuh sangat besar, seseorang dengan tingkat stres yang tinggi dapat berpengaruh terhadap menurunnya daya tahan tubuh seseorang sehingga membuat seseorang menjadi mudah terserang berbagai macam penyakit. Berbagai macam alat ukur untuk mengukur stres dalam hal ini stres di tempat kerja telah banyak digunakan akan tetapi peneliti memilih menggunakan alat ukur yang dibuat oleh peneliti sendiri. Oleh karena itu penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji validitas konstruk untuk mendeteksi stres di tempat kerja. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini melibatkan 172 pekerja wanita di Jakarta Selatan dengan latar belakang pekerjaan yang berbeda. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) dengan bantuan software Lisrel 8.7. Hasil penelitian membuktikan bahwa terdapat beberapa item dalam skala stres kerja yang mengukur lebih dari satu faktor (multidimensional). Stress is a condition of tension that affects emotions, thought processes and one's physical condition. Stress can cause a person to lose interest, appetite to create feelings of inferiority even worse can make someone want to commit suicide. The influence of stress on the body is very large, a person with a high level of stress can affect a person's immune system so that someone becomes susceptible to various diseases. Various types of measuring instruments to measure stress in this case stress in the workplace has been widely used but researchers chose to use a measuring instrument made by the researchers themselves. Therefore this study aims to examine construct validity to detect stress in the workplace. The data used in this study involved 172 female workers in South Jakarta with different occupational backgrounds. The analytical method used is Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) with the help of Lisrel 8.7 software. The results of the study prove that there are several items in the work stress scale that measure more than one (multidimensional) factor.

Poznavanje in razumevanje teoretičnih značilnosti strategije in obrambnega planiranja je nujen predpogoj za premišljeno obvladovanje kompleksnega procesa uresničevanja političnih ciljev države na varnostno-obrambnem in vojaškem področju ter oblikovanje skladnega načrta (strategije ali obrambnega plana) za premostitev vrzeli med aktualno realnostjo in želeno prihodnostjo. Zato strategijo in obrambno planiranje upravičeno uvrščamo med najpomembnejše in hkrati tudi najzahtevnejše aktivnosti vsake države. Izvajanje strategije in obrambnega planiranja sta neločljivo povezana procesa, nujna za prihodnjo nacionalno varnost ter zagotavljanje obrambne sposobnosti države za soočenje z najbolj verjetnimi nevarnostmi prihodnosti. Naložba države v razvijanje strateške misli ter planskega znanja in veščin ne bi smela biti predmet kalkulacije vloženih sredstev, ampak predmet dolgoročne investicije v razvijanje miselnih procesov, zamisli o prihodnjih vojaških ciljih, konceptih bojevanja in prihodnjih opcijah oboroženih sil. Zavedanje političnih odločevalcev o pomenu dolgoročnega, skladnega in kontinuiranega razvoja obrambne sposobnosti države ne bi smelo biti vprašanje, temveč dejstvo, glede na to, da varnosti ni mogoče dobiti neposredno. To pomeni, da se mora državno vodstvo spoprijeti s paradoksom priprave na vojno tudi v miru, če želi zagotavljati državljanom pričakovano visoko stopnjo nacionalne varnosti in ohraniti mir. Knowledge and understanding of the theoretical characteristics of strategy and defence planning are a prerequisite for sound management of the complex process of implementing national political goals of the state in security, defence and military fields and of developing a coherent plan (strategy or defence plan) to bridge the gap between the current reality and the desired future. Therefore, strategy and defence planning are rightly considered to be the most important and the most demanding activities in each country. The implementation of the strategy and defence planning are inextricably linked processes indispensable for future national security and ensuring the defence capability of a country to deal with the most likely future threats. National investments in the development of strategic thinking and planning skills and knowledge should not be subject to calculation of invested funds, but subject to long-term investment in the development of thought processes, ideas about the future of military objectives, concepts of warfare and future options of the armed forces. The awareness of decision-makers on the importance of the long-term, consistent and continuous development of the defence capacity of a country should not be an issue, but a fact, since security cannot be obtained directly. This means that the state leadership should deal with the paradox of preparing for war in peace, if it is to provide citizens with a high level of national security and preserve peace.

A multisubunit RNA polymerase enzyme is ultimately responsible for transcription initiation and elongation of RNA, but recognition of the proper start site by the enzyme is regulated by general, temporal and gene-specific trans-factors interacting at promoter and enhancer DNA sequences. To understand the molecular mechanisms which precisely regulate the transcription initiation event, it is crucial to elucidate the structure of the transcription factor/DNA complexes involved. Electron spectroscopic imaging (ESI) provides the opportunity to visualize individual DNA molecules. Enhancement of DNA contrast with ESI is accomplished by imaging with electrons that have interacted with inner shell electrons of phosphorus in the DNA backbone. Phosphorus detection at this intermediately high level of resolution (≈lnm) permits selective imaging of the DNA, to determine whether the protein factors compact, bend or wrap the DNA. Simultaneously, mass analysis and phosphorus content can be measured quantitatively, using adjacent DNA or tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) as mass and phosphorus standards. These two parameters provide stoichiometric information relating the ratios of protein:DNA content.

The forte of the Scanning transmission Electron Microscope (STEM) is high resolution imaging with high contrast on thin specimens, as demonstrated by visualization of single heavy atoms. of equal importance for biology is the efficient utilization of all available signals, permitting low dose imaging of unstained single molecules such as DNA.Our work at Brookhaven has concentrated on: 1) design and construction of instruments optimized for a narrow range of biological applications and 2) use of such instruments in a very active user/collaborator program. Therefore our program is highly interactive with a strong emphasis on producing results which are interpretable with a high level of confidence.The major challenge we face at the moment is specimen preparation. The resolution of the STEM is better than 2.5 A, but measurements of resolution vs. dose level off at a resolution of 20 A at a dose of 10 el/A2 on a well-behaved biological specimen such as TMV (tobacco mosaic virus). To track down this problem we are examining all aspects of specimen preparation: purification of biological material, deposition on the thin film substrate, washing, fast freezing and freeze drying. As we attempt to improve our equipment/technique, we use image analysis of TMV internal controls included in all STEM samples as a monitor sensitive enough to detect even a few percent improvement. For delicate specimens, carbon films can be very harsh-leading to disruption of the sample. Therefore we are developing conducting polymer films as alternative substrates, as described elsewhere in these Proceedings. For specimen preparation studies, we have identified (from our user/collaborator program ) a variety of “canary” specimens, each uniquely sensitive to one particular aspect of sample preparation, so we can attempt to separate the variables involved.

Purpose A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect information from clinical audiologists about rehabilitation options for adult patients who report significant auditory difficulties despite having normal or near-normal hearing sensitivity. This work aimed to provide more information about what audiologists are currently doing in the clinic to manage auditory difficulties in this patient population and their views on the efficacy of recommended rehabilitation methods. Method A questionnaire survey containing multiple-choice and open-ended questions was developed and disseminated online. Invitations to participate were delivered via e-mail listservs and through business cards provided at annual audiology conferences. All responses were anonymous at the time of data collection. Results Responses were collected from 209 participants. The majority of participants reported seeing at least one normal-hearing patient per month who reported significant communication difficulties. However, few respondents indicated that their location had specific protocols for the treatment of these patients. Counseling was reported as the most frequent rehabilitation method, but results revealed that audiologists across various work settings are also successfully starting to fit patients with mild-gain hearing aids. Responses indicated that patient compliance with computer-based auditory training methods was regarded as low, with patients generally preferring device-based rehabilitation options. Conclusions Results from this questionnaire survey strongly suggest that audiologists frequently see normal-hearing patients who report auditory difficulties, but that few clinicians are equipped with established protocols for diagnosis and management. While many feel that mild-gain hearing aids provide considerable benefit for these patients, very little research has been conducted to date to support the use of hearing aids or other rehabilitation options for this unique patient population. This study reveals the critical need for additional research to establish evidence-based practice guidelines that will empower clinicians to provide a high level of clinical care and effective rehabilitation strategies to these patients.
