Job performance aid (JPA) technology has evolved along two lines, JPAs for non-troubleshooting tasks and JPAs for troubleshooting tasks. Although various JPA formats have been developed for each of the two types of tasks, advancing technology and the application of a systems approach to the design of an integrated personnel system required the identification and testing of innovative JPA techniques. These are enrichment, hybridizing, and state tables. An enriched JPA has information in addition to the stated task procedures that supports the task being performed. Results are reported that support the enrichment concept when it is incorporated into fully proceduralized JPAs. Hybrid JPAs present task information in a mixed level format. The premise of the hybrid JPA is that users will transition from reliance on a directive element to reliance on a deductive element and thus permit the user to advance his or her skill and knowledge level. The results of hybrid JPA research, especially when it is enriched, indicate that it is a good candidate for inclusion in an integrated personnel system and permits individuals to develop higher level skills. The state table presents an organized flow of system functions By listing and describing all the significant events that are necessary to complete an operational function. By using state tables, it is expected that learning and the subsequent progression in skill level will take place.

Introduction. The formation of the territorial image of the region popularize and present the territory in a positive light. The conditions available in the Republic of Mordovia for creating a successful image, especially historical-cultural and natural zones, allow creating a recognizable and attractive image of the Republic not only for the residents of Russia, but also abroad. primarily in the countries of the Finno-Ugric world, with which -cultural factor for interaction and cooperation. Building the image to a large extent is based on the historical aspect of the image background, which is inseparable from the rich Finno-Ugric culture and geographical diversity of the territory, while historical and cultural objects contribute to creating the attractive image of the region. History plays a fundamental role in creating a recognizable image, without it, it is impossible to build a meaningful view of the republic. Materials and Methods. The main research approaches were the historical-evolutionary method, the hermeneutic and axiological paradigms, the systems approach, and the elements of the theory of dependence on previous development. Among the applied methods the authors used a focus-group study, a case study, and an expert survey. The materials of the survey «Republic of Mordovia: problems and prospects for the formation of the image of the region» were employed. Results and Discussion. Mordovia has a long history, when Mordovian territorial units joined vast family of peoples living in Russia. The attainment of statehood by Mordovia in the 20th century was a significant step in preserving the distinctive culture and eventful memory of the region. Rich tourist and recreational potential, geographical location, natural resources, natural and water objects protected by the state, myths and legends, important historical events, preserved cultural and historical objects, folk traditions and customs have not lost their originality and can be a significant basis for the formation and promotion of a positive image of the Republic of Mordovia and can help to level existing negative stereotypes about the region as “territories of prisons and camps”, “provinces with a low standard of living, culture and education”, etc. Conclusion. The existing image background of Mordovia can become the basis of a unique positive image of the region, turning it into a well-known and popular brand. Adequate building of a regional image by each of the subjects of Russia, in turn, will help create a positive view of the state itself in the international arena.

Due to the increasing costs of operation and maintenance of hardware, the use of training devices as an alternative to the use of the operational device is taking on an increasingly important role. As the state of simulation technology advances, much “better” devices, from the standpoint of training utility, are available. Unfortunately, the cost of a device increases almost exponentially as a function of its complexity. The goal of designing a set of training devices for a given system, therefore, is to maintain maximum training utility while minimizing overall device costs (i.e., device complexity). This paper discusses a methodology developed by Calspan Corporation which approaches this problem in a systematic manner.

Montana, known as Big Sky Country, is a vast, varied, and sparsely populated state. Montana is rural and Montana's educators face the perennial problems of rural educators nationwide–professional isolation, inadequate funding and resources, and few professional development opportunities. In order to restructure and strengthen special education services throughout the state, Montana has supported growth of its Comprehensive System of Personnel Development (CSPD) Council at the state level and has initiated a council in each of the five special education regions. Montana's organizational structure for CSPD and the systems approach used for state and regional strategic planning provide a model for other rural states to consider.

Transaktionen sind Übertragungsgeschehen, die in modernen Gesellschaften zentralen Stellenwert haben und im besonderen Maße mit Beglaubigungs- und Autorisierungspraxen verbunden sind. Um Transaktionen vorzunehmen, müssen die Transaktionsinstanzen mit besonders autorisierten Zeichen versehen werden, deren Ausgabe historisch von der Staatlichkeit monopolisiert worden ist. Der von der Bundesdruckerei produzierte elektronische Personalausweis ist der Versuch, für den digitalen Raum entsprechende Zeichenregime zu schaffen. Damit nimmt diese Institution für das Regieren in und mit dem Internet eine wichtige Position ein, anhand derer sich wesentliche Aspekte einer digitalen Gouvernemedialität aufzeigen lassen. </br></br>In modern societies, transactions are highly significant events of transmission, connected to praxis of authentification and authorization.

The methodological bases of the analysis of the condition of urbanized systems are substantiated in the article by means of methods of system analysis. Based on the model of the urban system, the available methods of research of the development of urban systems are singled out and characterized. The system of methods used to study urban systems includes methods of economic, social, spatial analysis, universal methods. For today's conditions, general scientific and special methods, which include economic and mathematical methods, methods of statistical analysis, and factor analysis, have remained relevant and suitable for solving socio-economic problems. Well-known and widely used methods of spatial analysis and synthesis will remain relevant, in particular, population forecasting and determining the demographic capacity of the territory; factor-by-factor analysis and comprehensive assessment of the territory; calculation of traffic flows and transport capacity in the territory and in cities; minimization of territorial ties; assessments of urban systems; location of service facilities, delineation of their radii of accessibility, etc. A separate group includes universal research methods suitable for the study of all dimensions of the system. Using a systems approach, our own method of analyzing the state of urban systems is substantiated. The method of analysis of the state of the urban system is based on four components of the system: human, spatial, social, and temporal. The economic component is a priority. Quantitative and qualitative relationships between economic and spatial, social, and temporal characteristics of the system are revealed. The combination of dimensions forms a set of combinations for the analysis of the economy of the urban system, in particular, there are socio-economic, spatial-economic, economic-temporal, and socio-spatial sections. Characteristics of individual dimensions and their interaction allow to organize information about the state of the system, to determine the tasks of the socio-economic and spatial development of cities, to reveal the possibilities of their system analysis.

Different Levels

Many researchers who believed in the “Arab Spring” are now debating the “Arab Autumn.” The two concepts are misleading because they reflect the entangled and complex reality of Arab countries at the current time. Such significant events that comprised the Arab Spring require knowledge of the influence of countries that were not directly involved in it, but which were pursuing their interests beyond their own borders. An attempt to engage with this sort of analytical framework leads to political fallacy that will contribute more to the crisis rather than solve it. Thus, it is important to understand that those who fight tyranny are not necessarily democratic themselves. What is the state of play in the Arab world today? At what stage of history is this region positioned? To answer both questions a lateral approach is needed, but this should not overlook the size of cases and their different levels.

The ‘Reflections’ which follow were written in October 1979. The months in between have been rich in developments within the Community and in the world. This brief introduction is an attempt, not to take stock of them completely – space for this is lacking – but simply to tie them in with the analyses and orientations worked out some months ago.The two significant events for the Community were the setback at the European Council in Dublin (29–30 November 1979) and the European Parliament's rejection of the 1980 budget (December 1979). I shall try to assess how the Community and its member-states reacted to two events which tested its cohesion: the new ‘oil shock’ after the OPEC meeting in Caracas and, politically, the Soviet military intervention in Afghanistan.

Selection Approach

Fifth generation (5G) networks have a high requirement for low latency of data delivery. Information-centric networking (ICN) adopts the paradigm of separation of the identifier and locator. It is efficient in content distribution by supporting in-network caching and has the potential to satisfy the low latency requirement in 5G. Replica selection is a key problem to retrieving content in ICN. Prior research usually utilizes the nearest replica. However, using the nearest replica cannot guarantee the smallest content download delay. To exploit in-network caching better, we propose an enhanced replica selection approach, called ERS. ERS first uses a distance-constrained-based name resolution system to discover the nearby replicas. Then, the most appropriate replica is chosen according to a local state table that maintains the state of replica nodes within a limited domain. In addition to network distance and replica node load, ERS innovatively introduces the path congestion degree between requester and replica nodes to assist replica selection. With extensive simulations, the proposed approach shows better performance than the state-of-the-art methods in terms of average content download delay. Finally, the overhead of the proposed method is analyzed.

Maternal Deaths

Abstract Background High maternal mortality in the state like Rajasthan, which is at second rank in terms of high Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) in India, require concentrated efforts in this direction The objectives of this study were to assess the magnitude and trend of maternal death and underlying factors contributing to maternal deaths in Rajasthan and to identify barriers and challenges in reporting maternal deaths in Rajasthan. Methods Data related to maternal deaths, cause of deaths and live births were retrieved from official Government sources and MMR was calculated. To find out the underlying factors contributing to maternal deaths, Verbal Autopsies were conducted through household surveys. In-depth interviews of health care staff were conducted to carry out the 'SWOT' analysis in order to identify the barriers in reporting maternal deaths. Data was analysed using SPSS version 23. Results A total of 7185 maternal deaths were reported from Rajasthan in last five years. The mean age of mothers was 25.18±4.98 years. Haemorrhage were reported as most common cause of maternal death (17%) followed by Severe hypertension or fits (8%) and obstructed labour (2%). The median duration of hospital stay was 23 hours (IQR=7.5-70). Maximum deaths were reported during post-partum period (61%), while around one fourth of the deaths happened during delivery. Conclusions The discrepancies were observed in the reporting of number and causes of maternal deaths. The trend and forecasted figures were quite different from the published National and State level reports in this regard. Key messages need to streamline and strengthen the Maternal Deaths Surveillance and Response to track the number of deaths and get the exact information about the underlying factors contributing to them. Effective strategies can be developed to reduce the Maternal Deaths in the State.
