<p>This study attempts to investigate the impact of labor market Inequality on the income of<br />medium industry sector’s worker in the Palembang City-Indonesia. Using 380 respondents<br />which covers male and female workers ranging from the age of 15 to the age of 64, this study<br />employs a proportional stratified random sampling in determining the sampling technique.<br />This study employs a survey method using in-depth investigation to explore all the facts<br />acquired about the labor market inequality in the medium industry sector. The sample area<br />includes 16 districts in the City of Palembang. The level of education, the job’s capability and<br />the working experience are some of those factors investigated in this study. The factor of<br />labor market inequality is focused on the wage and employment. The result reveals that apart<br />from the level of education, the job’s capability and working experience have a significant<br />impact on the existence of labor market inequality in the medium industry sector. It can be<br />concluded that higher level of education is inessential for the medium industry sector in<br />Palembang City-Indonesia, and this is inline with the notion that the medium industry sector<br />merely requires both working’s capability and spesified technical skills in supporting higher<br />productivity level. The inequality occurs in the wage and the job assigned. Furthermore, the<br />higher the existence of labor market inequality, the lower the income acquired by the<br />employees.</p>

Background: Index admission laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the standard of care for patients admitted to hospital with symptomatic acute cholecystitis. The same standard applies to patients suffering with mild acute biliary pancreatitis. Operating theatre capacity can be a significant constraint to same admission surgery. This study assesses the impact of dedicated theatre capacity provided by a specialist surgical team on rates of index admission cholecystectomy.Methods: This clinical cohort study compares the management of patients with symptomatic gallstone disease admitted to a tertiary care university teaching hospital over two equal but chronologically separate time periods. The periods were before and after service reconfiguration including a specialist HPB service with dedicated operating theatre time allocation.Results: There was a significant difference in the number of admissions over the two time periods with a greater proportion of patients having index admission surgery in the second time period with correspondingly fewer having more than one admission during this latter time period. In the second time period 43% of patients underwent index admission cholecystectomy compared to 23% in the first (P &lt; 0.001). The duration of surgery was shorter for patients undergoing surgery during the second time period [135 (102–178) min in the first period and in the second period 106 (89–145) min] (P = 0.02).Discussion: This paper shows that the concentration of theatre resources and surgical expertise into regular theatre access for patients undergoing urgent laparoscopic cholecystectomy is an effective and safe model for dealing with acute biliary disease.

This study aims to investigate the impact of parental career behaviors on undergraduate student’s career exploration and the mediating role of career self-efficacy. In the literature it is suggested that some social and individual factors facilitate students’ career exploration. Therefore, parental career behaviors and career self-efficacy is considered as predictors of student’s career exploration attitudes within the scope of the study. In this respect, data which are collected from 405 undergraduate students having an education on tourism and hotel management field by the survey method are analyzed by using the structural equation modeling. The results of the study indicate that parental career behaviors which are addressed support; interference and lack of engagement have a significant effect on student’s career exploration behaviors such as intended-systematic exploration, environment exploration and self-exploration. In addition, it has been found that one of the dimensions of parental career behaviors addressed as a lack of engagement has a significant effect on career self-efficacy levels of students. However, research results indicate that student’s career self-efficacy has a significant effect on only the self-exploration dimension. On the other hand, career self-efficacy has a partial mediating role between lack of engagement attitudes of parents and career exploration behaviors of students.

Background: Epigenetic modifications appear to be dynamic and they might be affected by environmental factors. The possibility of influencing these processes through psychotherapy has been suggested. Objective: To analyse the impact of psychotherapy on epigenetics when applied to mental disorders. The main hypothesis is that psychological treatments will produce epigenetic modifications related to the improvement of treated symptoms. Methods: A computerised and systematic search was completed throughout the time period from 1990 to 2019 on the PubMed, ScienceDirect and Scopus databases. Results: In total, 11 studies were selected. The studies were evaluated for the theoretical framework, genes involved, type of psychotherapy and clinical challenges and perspectives. All studies showed detectable changes at the epigenetic level, like DNA methylation changes, associated with symptom improvement after psychotherapy. Conclusion: Methylation profiles could be moderating treatment effects of psychotherapy. Beyond the detected epigenetic changes after psychotherapy, the epigenetic status before the implementation could act as an effective predictor of response.

The author begins by discussing the relationship between agriculture and population at a theoretical level, proceeds with a historical review of changes in the role and significance of an individual as agricultural producer, and finally, analyzes population as an element (potentials - limitations) of agricultural development in Serbia. The overall production results, and particularly the propensity to technical and technological innovation, as well as the ability to adapt to the changed conditions are, as we know well, crucially dependent on the structure of the working population. Hence, the author discusses regional differences in agricultural population by age, sex, level of education and productivity to provide a clear illustration of the impact of this element (indicator) on the population as the factor of agricultural production. The results show significant macroregional differences by this element with respect to the average for Serbia.
