Data on disability are collected in many statistical surveys, but the largest ones are censuses. The survey of disability based on census data in Poland has a long history dating back to 1921. During this period both the methodology of the survey and the scope of the data have been changing. The biggest modifications took place in 2011. NCP 2011 was the first census in Poland to be carried out by combing administrative data sources and the survey sampling method. The aim of the present study is to analyze and assess changes in the disability survey in NCP 2011 compared to NCP 2002 in terms of methodology and the scope of information.

This research uses quantitative research method by conducting survey. Sampling method is purposive sampling. Validity and Reliability Test Results using SPSS v 20.0, and the results of hypothesis using path analysis. Corporate Reputation has a significant effect on Consumer Trust, as well as Vendor Reputation also has a significant effect on Consumer Trust.

Introduction: Injecting a local anaesthetic amongst students is part of the dentistry education in many countries. Mandibular block injection technique used in the Faculty of Dentistry Universitas Padjadjaran is Fischer’s technique. The purpose of this study was to determine the success rate based on the average onset and duration of action in mandibular block injection training using Fischer’s technique conducted by the 8th-semester students of the Faculty of Dentistry Universitas Padjadjaran batch 2008. Methods: The method of this study was a descriptive survey—sampling method used was the purposive sampling technique. Data was obtained through the questionnaires distributed to 100 students who practice injection using Fischer’s technique. Anaesthetics used on these injection training was 2% lidocaine HCl with epinephrine 1:80,000. Results: The success rate of mandibular block injection using Fischer’s technique was 88% (88 from 100 injections), with an average onset of action was 2.33 minutes and the average duration of action was 194.07 minutes. Conclusion: The percentage of success in injection training with Fischer’s technique was high, with appropriate average onset and duration of action by the existing standards.

In frequent humanitarian emergencies during the last decades, military forces increasingly have been engaged through provision of equipment and humanitarian assistance, and through peace-support operations. The objective of this study was to evaluate how military resources could be used in disaster preparedness as well as in disaster management and relief.

Abstract. In this article, the authors provide an empirical analysis of the obtrusiveness of and participants' compliance with a relatively new psychological ambulatory assessment method, called the electronically activated recorder or EAR. The EAR is a modified portable audio-recorder that periodically records snippets of ambient sounds from participants' daily environments. In tracking moment-to-moment ambient sounds, the EAR yields an acoustic log of a person's day as it unfolds. As a naturalistic observation sampling method, it provides an observer's account of daily life and is optimized for the assessment of audible aspects of participants' naturally-occurring social behaviors and interactions. Measures of self-reported and behaviorally-assessed EAR obtrusiveness and compliance were analyzed in two samples. After an initial 2-h period of relative obtrusiveness, participants habituated to wearing the EAR and perceived it as fairly unobtrusive both in a short-term (2 days, N = 96) and a longer-term (10-11 days, N = 11) monitoring. Compliance with the method was high both during the short-term and longer-term monitoring. Somewhat reduced compliance was identified over the weekend; this effect appears to be specific to student populations. Important privacy and data confidentiality considerations around the EAR method are discussed.

Abstract. Intraindividual variability, along with the more frequently studied between-person variability, has been argued to be one of the basic building blocks of emotional experience. The aim of the current study is to examine whether intraindividual variability in affect predicts tiredness in daily life. Intraindividual variability in affect was studied with the experience sampling method in a group of 110 participants (aged between 19 and 84 years) during 14 consecutive days on seven randomly determined occasions per day. The results suggest that affect variability is a stable construct over time and situations. Our findings also demonstrate that intraindividual variability in affect has a unique role in predicting increased levels of tiredness at the momentary level as well at the level of individuals.
