The article begins with a brief review of the traditional approach to screening people on their ethical dimension. Next, the traditional approach to selection in general is critiqued, and a model of an alternative approach is presented. The article closes with a checklist of suggestions on how to recruit and select people in an ethical manner. A few years ago in this journal, the elements of a strategy for putting ethics back to work in government were proposed.1 One of them is the Maginot line of defense against wrongdoing, the selection of the right people in the first place. They are quality people who are more consistently competent, committed, and ethical. Without them, an organization cannot hope to achieve total quality performance, or the right results achieved in the right ways. Traditional pre-employment screening on the ethical dimension is briefly reviewed and evaluated first. A non-traditional model is then presented for screening people holistically on all quality dimensions. The article concludes with suggestions for recruiting and selecting in an ethical manner.

To create reliable and highly efficient, en- ergy-saving machines for light industry, it is necessary to study the dynamic processes of movement of the links of the mechanisms of which they are composed. Especially such studies should be given attention for machines, the mechanisms of which have a cyclic nature of action. During the execution of a technological operation in light industry machines with a periodic cyclic movement of the working bodies, an uneven movement of the main shaft occurs. This is caused by the movement of the links of the mechanism with certain accelerations and taking into account the periodic nature of the action of technological loads, which vary in magnitude and direction. The uneven nature of the movement leads to the appearance of additional loads in the kinematic pairs of mechanisms, mechanical vibrations in the mechanical trans- mission systems of motion, leads to the appearance of vibrations and violations in the positioning of the working bodies, affects the techno- logical process of the equipment. Uniform and stable tension of the threads is the key to a high-quality performance of the loop formation process in knitwear. Additional dynamic loads affect the technological tension of textile threads during equipment operation. These loads are caused by the accelerated movement of the links of the mechanism, which is especially important for technological equipment with the pres- ence of a reverse working stroke of its links. In such mechanisms, the values of the angular acceleration of the links and the linear accelera- tion of their individual points can acquire critically permissible values. It is possible to ensure the movement of the working bodies of the machine according to the law for which the tension of the threads will be optimally necessary. To do this, you need to choose the right type of mechanism that sets them in motion. The aim of the work is to conduct a structural-kinematic research of the mechanism of the reversible movement of the needle drum of a knitting machine, which will justify the selection of the required type of mechanism for such equipment. The confirmation of the improvement of the conditions for the formation of loops when knitting on a knitting machine with a reversible needle drum movement, made on the basis of a rocker mechanism, has been obtained.

ABSTRACT Medial maxillectomy is a surgical resection of the medial walls of the maxillary bone, medial part of the orbital floor, and ethmoid sinuses. Lateral rhinotomy or sublabial degloving is the traditional approach used for an open medial maxillectomy. Endoscopic medial maxillectomy is used as an alternative approach with similar cure rate with less morbidity. We report here a case of inverted papilloma of the medial wall of the right maxillary sinus where the disease clearance was done with preservative of nasolacrimal duct, inferior turbinate, and lateral nasal wall mucosa by the endoscopic medial maxillectomy approach.

The article verifies some approximating power-law and hyperbolic dependences between stresses σ and deformations ε for experimental deformation diagrams of cement concrete and polymer concrete. When analyzing the state and residual life of reinforced concrete structures, one has to solve the problem of determining the relationship between stresses and deformations in various design sections of structures. The traditional approach, based on the selection of the approximating function "σ – ε" from the numerical values of the deformation diagram obtained by testing samples (cubes, prisms, cylinders), is practically impossible. Therefore, an alternative approach is proposed based on the selection of an approximating function according to standardized indicators: ultimate strength (σ_bu); modulus of elasticity (E_b0); ultimate deformation (ε_bu). The numerical values of the normalized indicators can be determined at a given point by analyzing the results of indentation of the indenter into the material of structures. As approximating ones, consider the power functions that are most preferable for materials with a fractal structure. Various boundary conditions are considered for determining the constant coefficients α and β according to the system of normalized indicators. The graphs of changes in tangent modules are analyzed.

Indeed, in terms of the whole implementation of life has been arranged in the view of Islamic teachings to regulate all human life including in relation to the implementation of the economy and business. Islam does not allow any person to work haphazardly to achieve his/her goals and desires by justifying any means such as committing fraud, cheating, false vows, usury, and any other vanity deeds. But, Islam has given a boundary or line between the allowable and the unlawful, the right and wrong and the lawful and the unlawful. These limits or dividing lines are known as ethics. Behavior in business or trade is also not escaped from the moral value or business ethics values. Islamic business ethics is of which adheres to the principle of unity, equilibrium principle, freewill principle, responsibility principle, It is important for business people to integrate that ethical dimension into the framework or scope of the business.

University Course Timetabling Problem is a problem faced by every university, one of which is Universitas Multimedia Nusantara. Timetabling process is done by allocating time and space so that the whole associated class and course can be implemented. In this paper, the problem will be solved by using MAX-MIN Ant System Algorithm. This algorithm is an alternative approach to ant colony optimization. This algorithm uses two tables of pheromones as stigmergy, i.e. timeslot pheromone table and room pheromone table. In addition, the selection of timeslot and room is done by using the standard deviation of the value of pheromones. Testing is carried out by using 105 events, 45 timeslots, and 3 types of categories based on the number of rooms provided, i.e. large, medium, and small. In each category, testing is performed 5 times and for each testing, the data recorded is the unplace and Soft Constraint Penalty. In general, the greater the number of rooms, the smaller the unplace. Index Terms—ant colony optimization, max-min ant system, timetabling

В настоящей статье предпринята попытка исследовать отдельные проблемные аспекты института потерпевшего в российском уголовном процессе. В этих целях подвергнуты анализу правовые нормы, регламентирующие его процессуальный статус. Раскрываются отдельные пробелы уголовно-процессуального законодательства в сфере защиты законных прав и интересов потерпевшего. Автор акцентирует внимание на том, что совершенствование уголовно-процессуального законодательства в части расширения правомочий потерпевшего по отстаиванию своих нарушенных преступлением прав следует продолжить. На основании проведенного исследования действующего законодательства в части регламентации прав потерпевшего от преступления предлагается расширить перечень получаемых им копий постановлений, указанных в п. 13 ч. 2 ст. 42 УПК РФ. Автор предлагает включить в перечень указанной законодательной нормы право получения потерпевшим копии постановления об избрании конкретного вида меры пресечения, избранного в отношении подозреваемого (обвиняемого). Для создания действенного механизма защиты интересов потерпевших от преступления юридических лиц предлагаем ч. 9 ст. 42 УПК РФ изложить в следующей редакции: «в случае признания потерпевшим юридического лица его процессуальное право в уголовном процессе осуществляет представляющий его профессиональный адвокат». This article attempts to investigate certain problematic aspects of the institution of the victim in the Russian criminal process. For this purpose, analyzed the individual norms governing his procedural status. Separate gaps of the criminal procedure legislation in the sphere of protection of the legal rights and interests of the victim are disclosed. The author emphasizes that the improvement of the criminal procedure legislation in terms of the extension of the victim’s authority to defend his rights violated by the crime should be continued. On the basis of the study of the current legislation regarding the regulation of the rights of the victim of a crime, it is proposed to expand the list of decisions received by him, referred to in paragraph 13, part 2 of article 42 Code of Criminal Procedure. The author proposes to include in the list of the indicated legislative norm the right to receive the victim a copy of the decision on the selection of a specific type of preventive measure, selected in relation to the suspect (accused). To create an effective mechanism for protecting the interests of legal entities victims of a crime, we offer part 9 of art. 42 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation shall be reworded as follows: «if a legal entity is recognized as a victim, his procedural right in criminal proceedings is exercised by the professional lawyer representing him».

Epichloë Endophyte

For 30 years, forage ryegrass breeding has known that the germplasm may contain a maternally inherited symbiotic Epichloë endophyte. These endophytes produce a suite of secondary alkaloid compounds, dependent upon strain. Many produce ergot and other alkaloids, which are associated with both insect deterrence and livestock health issues. The levels of alkaloids and other endophyte characteristics are influenced by strain, host germplasm, and environmental conditions. Some strains in the right host germplasm can confer an advantage over biotic and abiotic stressors, thus acting as a maternally inherited desirable ‘trait’. Through seed production, these mutualistic endophytes do not transmit into 100% of the crop seed and are less vigorous than the grass seed itself. This causes stability and longevity issues for seed production and storage should the ‘trait’ be desired in the germplasm. This makes understanding the precise nature of the relationship vitally important to the plant breeder. These Epichloë endophytes cannot be ‘bred’ in the conventional sense, as they are asexual. Instead, the breeder may modulate endophyte characteristics through selection of host germplasm, a sort of breeding by proxy. This article explores, from a forage seed company perspective, the issues that endophyte characteristics and breeding them by proxy have on ryegrass breeding, and outlines the methods used to assess the ‘trait’, and the application of these through the breeding, production, and deployment processes. Finally, this article investigates opportunities for enhancing the utilisation of alkaloid-producing endophytes within pastures, with a focus on balancing alkaloid levels to further enhance pest deterrence and improving livestock outcomes.

The current article suggests that alternatives to the current traditional learning methods are essentials if learning institutions are to provide people with effective life skills that enable them to be autonomous learners. This suggestion is based on a body of literature on alternative learning which stresses the need for fundamental change and hence, a paradigm shift in perception of learning in order to cope with the world-wide information explosion. The alternative non-traditional approach proposed in geodesic learning which stresses learning how to learn and self-directed inquiry as essential life skills which enable systems as well as the people in the systems to bring about their own transformation in response to changing situations and requirements. The current article discusses an alternative service delivery model, the geodesic information processing model, which falls within the realms of the geodesic philosophy. The implications of this alternative approach for the speech-language therapist are discussed.

Function-based design is the traditional approach in engineering design theory, proving useful and practical in many cases but showing limitations in others. Affordance-based design is an alternative approach that attempts to address some of function theory’s limitations by focusing attention on the interactions between systems. This paper compares function-based design with affordance-based design by examining their philosophies, tools, abilities, and suitability along a number of dimensions. We conclude that the approaches are compatible and suggest future work to realize their integration.
