Urgency of the research. Inter-level substitution is the basis for the formation in the aggregate form of a model and sys-tem of indices of the inter-level balance, and the latter comprehensively assess the consequences of the control effect on the structured object and the effectiveness of the impact itself. Target setting. Existing evaluation methods do not take into account the factor of movement of object units from one level of the characteristic to another, which is why the structural analysis of the results of the impact is incomplete.Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. Inter-level substitution is a new concept. Earlier, the author proposed a model and a system of indices of inter-level balance, constructed only in the values of the number of object units at the level. Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. The model of inter-level balance and a system of balance indicators, presented in aggregate form. The research objective. Formalization of the concept of “inter-level substitution” as a canonical form of the inter-level balance in the form of paired indicators of aggregated absolute balance of inter-level movement and inter-level turnover ofunits of a structured object. The statement of basic materials. The inter-level substitution of object units leads to level (extra-level) losses or to a level (extra-level) replenishment of the object based on the characteristic measured in these units in the relationship scale at a certain level (outside the level) in the “after” and “before” conditions of external impact. The overall result of the latter can be analytically represented as a generalized balance ratio. In the aggregate form, it is determined through the elemen-tary components of the balance, which are the number of displacements and the level values of the characteristic. Conclusions. The mathematical form of the inter-level substitution is the key in the formation of the inter-level balance model and the system of balance indicators of movement.

Urgency of the research. Indicators of the object's level structure, its changes and coordination, as one of the specific categories of the inter-level balance's indicators, provide a comprehensive quantitative assessment of the managed object's structure, its structural shifts, losses and replenishment based on the attribute measured in its units in the ratio scale. Target setting. The corresponding inter-level balance indicators, presented previously through the unweighted (nonaggregated) components of the latter, do not represent a possible assessment. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. The calculation of non-aggregated indicators of the object's level structure, its changes and coordination is carried out through the values of the number of movable and immovable object units. Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. Evaluation of the effects of a control action on a structured object that is performed in the values of the measured attribute and is explained by the inter-level movement of units of this object. The research objective. To formulate the indicators of the object's level structure, its changes and coordination in the system of inter-level balance's indices by formulating rules for calculating them in aggregate form. The statement of basic materials. The aggregate form of the inter-level balance model is based on such components of the balance as level replenishment (losses) of the object, which explains the effects of the control action on the object at different levels of their systematization in the model. The result of such systematization is the system of aggregated balance indicators, among which the level structure of the object, its changes and coordination determine the level structure, evaluate the structural shifts and compare the components of the level structure of the object through the aggregate values of the attribute measured at its units at one level or another. The investigated indicators are formulated as absolute, relative and average values. Conclusions. The proposed inter-level balance's indicators are important for assessing the impact and effectiveness of the control effect on a structured object.

This study puts to empirical test the existence of three attitudes toward object-based authenticity that have been theorized in the literature as realist, constructivist, and postmodernist. We examine the relationship between an individual’s orientation toward object-based authenticity and the existential authenticity of tourists’ experience and postvisitation intended behavior. Two tourism settings are used: a museum with genuine historical artifacts and a place where authenticity is re-created, reconstructed, and interpreted. We find that the impact of authenticity orientation depends on the nature of the site: it affects existential authenticity in the re-created setting only. The largest differences are recorded between realists and postmodernists. Intended behavior does not depend on authenticity orientation when we control for the impact of existential authenticity.

The shock response of single freedom system was studied based on impact theory. The shear blade of some merchant shearing machine was selected as the object. The static calibration and impact load testing was carried on the object. Based on the impact theory and finite element technology, the feasibility of the testing scheme and the influence of the shock wave shape on the testing accuracy were discussed. The results show that for the shear blade, when the impact load time history is 50ms and the natural frequency is 2848Hz, there only 0.42% difference between the maximum dynamic response and the static calibrated response. So it is practicable to use the static calibrated results to decide the relationship of the impact load and strain.

Urgency of the research. The impact of competition on the cost of banking services, availability of financial resources, efficiency and speed of transformation of savings into investments determines the relevance and timeliness of developing an appropriate methodological approach, which involves calculating Herfindahl-Hirschman index (HHI) to determine the competitive structure of the Ukrainian banking market. Target setting. Assessing the level of competition is the basis for establishing the relationship between the financial performance of banking and the competitiveness level of the bank and determine its ability to respond quickly to changes in market conditions. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis shows the importance of in-depth diagnosis of the level of banking competition to address the strategic development of banks. Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. The issues of assessing the level of competition in key segments of the banking market remain insufficiently researched. The research objective. A study of modern aspects of competition in the banking market and improvement of the methodological approach to assessing the competitiveness of banks using the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (ННІ) The statement of basic materials. The proposed methodological approach involves the consistent implementation of the following procedures: assessing the level of penetration of the banking sector into the economy; determining the conditions of a competitive market; assessment of the concentration level using the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index. Conclusions. Approbation of this approach allowed to confirm the thesis of increasing the level of oligopolization of the industry. The results of the calculation of the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index, which takes into account the situation in the industry as a whole, and not only among market leaders, allows us to draw conclusions about the growing oligopolization of the banking market.

This article has two purposes: (a) to examine the relationship between intercultural power relations and the widespread practice of accent discrimination and (b) to underscore the ramifications of accent discrimination both for the individual and for global society as a whole. First, authors review social theory regarding language and group identity construction, and then go on to integrate more current studies linking accent bias to sociocultural variables. Authors discuss three examples of intercultural accent discrimination in order to illustrate how this link manifests itself in the broader context of international relations (i.e., how accent discrimination is generated in situations of unequal power) and, using a review of current research, assess the consequences of accent discrimination for the individual. Finally, the article highlights the impact that linguistic discrimination is having on linguistic diversity globally, partially using data from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and partially by offering a potential context for interpreting the emergence of practices that seek to reduce or modify speaker accents.

Abstract Administrators and supervisors face daily challenges over issues such as program funding, service fees, correct coding procedures, and the ever-changing healthcare regulations. Receiving equitable reimbursement for speech-language pathology and audiology services necessitates an understanding of federal coding and reimbursement systems. This tutorial provides information pertaining to two major healthcare coding systems and explains the relationship of these systems to clinical documentation, the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule and equitable reimbursement. An explanation of coding edits and coding modifiers is provided for use in those occasional atypical situations when the standard use of procedural coding may not be appropriate. Also included in this tutorial is a brief discussion of the impact that the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (HR 6331 Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act [MIPPA], 2008) has had on the valuation of speech-language pathology procedure codes.

Humans are social animals; consequently, a lack of social ties affects individuals’ health negatively. However, the desire to belong differs between individuals, raising the question of whether individual differences in the need to belong moderate the impact of perceived social isolation on health. In the present study, 77 first-year university students rated their loneliness and health every 6 weeks for 18 weeks. Individual differences in the need to belong were found to moderate the relationship between loneliness and current health state. Specifically, lonely students with a high need to belong reported more days of illness than those with a low need to belong. In contrast, the strength of the need to belong had no effect on students who did not feel lonely. Thus, people who have a strong need to belong appear to suffer from loneliness and become ill more often, whereas people with a weak need to belong appear to stand loneliness better and are comparatively healthy. The study implies that social isolation does not impact all individuals identically; instead, the fit between the social situation and an individual’s need appears to be crucial for an individual’s functioning.

Abstract. Background: Self-esteem is a major contributor to risk for repeated suicide attempts. Prior research has shown that awareness of stigma is associated with reduced self-esteem among people with mental illness. No prior studies have examined the association between self-esteem and stereotype awareness among individuals with past suicide attempts. Aims: To understand the relationship between stereotype awareness and self-esteem among young adults who have and have not attempted suicide. Method: Computerized surveys were administered to college students (N = 637). Linear regression analyses were used to test associations between self-esteem and stereotype awareness, attempt history, and their interaction. Results: There was a significant stereotype awareness by attempt interaction (β = –.74, p = .006) in the regression analysis. The interaction was explained by a stronger negative association between stereotype awareness and self-esteem among individuals with past suicide attempts (β = –.50, p = .013) compared with those without attempts (β = –.09, p = .037). Conclusion: Stigma is associated with lower self-esteem within this high-functioning sample of young adults with histories of suicide attempts. Alleviating the impact of stigma at the individual (clinical) or community (public health) levels may improve self-esteem among this high-risk population, which could potentially influence subsequent suicide risk.

Background: We study the impact of suicide-exclusion periods, common in life insurance policies in Australia, on suicide and accidental death rates for life-insured individuals. If a life-insured individual dies by suicide during the period of suicide exclusion, commonly 13 months, the sum insured is not paid. Aims: We examine whether a suicide-exclusion period affects the timing of suicides. We also analyze whether accidental deaths are more prevalent during the suicide-exclusion period as life-insured individuals disguise their death by suicide. We assess the relationship between the insured sum and suicidal death rates. Methods: Crude and age-standardized rates of suicide, accidental death, and overall death, split by duration since the insured first bought their insurance policy, were computed. Results: There were significantly fewer suicides and no significant spike in the number of accidental deaths in the exclusion period for Australian life insurance data. More suicides, however, were detected for the first 2 years after the exclusion period. Higher insured sums are associated with higher rates of suicide. Conclusions: Adverse selection in Australian life insurance is exacerbated by including a suicide-exclusion period. Extension of the suicide-exclusion period to 3 years may prevent some “insurance-induced” suicides – a rationale for this conclusion is given.
