The concept of economic corridor was introduced to be a breakthrough in the acceleration of economy development of the designated areas. The success of an economic corridor to grow further is determined by the performance of infrastructure, corridor services, and management of the corridor. The study aims at explaining the concept and process development of assessment tools to identify the service readiness and performances of Infrastructure to support development progress of corridors. A desk study has been conducted to identify parameters of measurements using public, government, and user views that might apply to Indonesian Economic Corridor. All parameters and indicators were selected on the basis of supply performances, quality of services, efficiency, utilization, and sustainability of the infrastructure. The study results in 9 outcomes and 31 infrastructure services indicators to be used in measuring corridor performance in relation infrastructure operations of the corridor. This only one side of the corridor performance assessment process but would be one of two important steps to able to assess the performance of Indonesian Economic Corridor grow beyond.

Purpose When using embedded, student-centered assessment tools for maker education, understanding the characteristics of a body of evidence can help teachers guide the assessment process. This study aims to examine assessment artifacts from a makerspace program and present a set of qualities that emerged, which researchers and maker educators can use to evaluate the quality of evidence before interpreting it and making claims about student learning. Design/methodology/approach This study used the interpretive analysis approach to identify salient qualities in a body of evidence of maker learning. Data sources included student assessment artifacts, researchers’ analytic memos, notes on the coding and analysis process, background stories and field observations. Findings The study found that the assessment artifacts generated by students aligned with the maker-related target skills. A set of qualities was produced that can be used to describe the strength of a body of evidence and help determine whether it is appropriate to be used in the meaning making phase. Practical implications The qualities identified in this study can be directly incorporated into the embedded assessment toolkit to provide feedback on the strength of evidence for learning in makerspaces. Originality/value Assessment methods for maker education are nascent, and ways to describe the quality of a student-generated body of evidence have not yet been established. This study applies existing knowledge of embedded assessment and reflective practice toward the creation of a new way of assessing skills that are difficult to measure.

This research shows the application of the Structured Equation Modeling (SEM) to obtain the best model for studying the relationship between the more efficient and accurate against the findings and the interpretation of the variables. The objectives of the study are to assess the reliability of the developed instrument and to test construct validity of the research instruments in estimating the contributing factors to TASKA service satisfaction. The proportionate stratified random sampling method was used to select a total of 61 TASKAs from three states on the east coast of Malaysia consisting of 273 parents and guardians which are currently using the TASKA services. Validity and reliability of the measurement model in the analysis using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method. Measurement models were data-based and fit based on the fit index (CMF) χ2 = 3230.541, with degrees of freedom (df) = 902, CMIN / df = 3.582 (≤5.0), CFI & TLI (≤0.9), and RMSEA = 0.070 (≤0.1). Based on the results obtained, all indices meet standardized metric and assessment tools have proven to be a good instrument. The results show that there are 5 factors that influence parents' satisfaction with the quality of services offered by TASKA. Analysis found that the combination of manage, grow, fees, activity and cost constitutes a strong association to estimate a complete structured equation model while supported by demographic factors such as education level, occupation, location, distance, agency, status and age of children to strengthen the TASKA selection factor. Research shows that this TASKA service model can assist as a guide in improving the existing quality for future improvement. Furthermore, it can be used as a module in providing the best quality of services to the satisfaction of parents and guardians.

Competency Assessment

Introduction:the article is devoted to modern methods of learning outcomes assessment. As the authors of the article show, recently the evaluation of learning outcomes is inextricably linked with the quality of education provided by an educational institution. It is noted that today there is no single interpretation of the concept “quality of education”. Due to the introduction of a competence-based approach, graduates now form not just a certain amount of knowledge and skills, but the ability to use it, to apply the experience gained in practice, so modern assessment should be fundamentally new and different from traditional methods.Materials and methods:the article identifies the features of the competency assessment system. The basic provisions of the assessment methodology were established and on their basis we identified the components of the model model of the automated assessment of professional competencies. Identified principles for constructing a competency assessment modelResults:the article analyzes the existing modern assessment tools. Among them, the methods characteristic of the authentic approach were singled out, as well as the advantages of using the electronic platform Moodle for the evaluation procedure. A new system for assessing the quality of the educational process, a point-rating system for evaluating the results of the work of the trainer, is being considered.Discussion and Conclusions: The article discusses existing tools and technologies for assessing learning outcomes, which have many advantages and their combined use makes it possible to simplify the assessment process as much as possible, to make it more convenient and intensive. The proposed recommendations for the evaluation of educational results favor not only the correct assessment of the results of the educational process, but also the ongoing monitoring of the development of professional competencies.

IntroductionBreakthrough pain is common in children and adults with cancer and other conditions, including those approaching end-of-life, although it is often poorly managed, possibly partly due to a lack of validated assessment tools. This review aims to (1) identify all available instruments measuring breakthrough pain in infants, children, adolescents or adults and (2) critically appraise, compare and summarise the quality of the psychometric properties of the identified instruments using COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) criteria.Methods and analysisTwo searches will be carried out between October 2019 and January 2020, one for each aim of the review. The Cochrane Library, International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews, Embase, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), PsycINFO, Web of Science Core Collection, Google Scholar, the ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Database, Evidence Search and OpenGrey databases will be searched from database inception until the date the search is conducted. Reference lists of eligible articles will be screened and authors in the field contacted. For search 1, articles will be screened by two reviewers by abstract, and full-text where necessary, to identify if a breakthrough pain assessment was used. Search 2 will then be conducted to identify studies evaluating measurement properties of these assessments. Two reviewers will screen articles from search 2 by title and abstract. All potentially relevant studies will be screened by full text by both reviewers. For search 2, data will be extracted in parallel with the quality assessment process, as recommended by COSMIN. Two reviewers will assess methodological quality using the COSMIN Risk of Bias checklist and the COSMIN updated criteria for good measurement properties. Findings will be summarised and, if possible, data will be pooled using meta-analysis. The quality of the evidence will be graded and summarised using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) guidelines.Ethics and disseminationResults of this review will be submitted for publication in a peer review journal and presented at conferences.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42019155583.

Abstract The ability to use the existing health system assessment tools, HSPA processes and widely available indicators is an important, although not exhaustive, part of the practical application of the framework. With this in mind, we created an annotated template that can be used along with HSPA framework for UHC to facilitate information collection and harmonisation. This annotated template was tested for Estonia and Azerbaijan with the aim to help with evaluating the transferability of HSPA information between existing approaches and in different settings. More specifically, we tested the extent to which information on assessment areas of the framework can be extracted from the existing sources; the ease of use and clarity of the annotated template; and how the information collected through the annotated template can be combined into a meaningful health system performance assessment, in line with health system goals. The test showed that the information for Estonia and Azerbaijan could be obtained to complete much of the template. This can be done through a country-led performance assessment process that ensures that the indicative measures in the annotated template are relevant to the country context. The information collected also needs to be assessed in the context of policy priorities of the national health systems. Thus, more detailed guidance on the use of the framework can help to streamline such national processes and clarify the linkages between performance of specific functions and overall health system performance.

Abstrak Berbicara mengenai galeri sebagai salah satu jasa yang bergerak di bidang seni, erat kaitannya dengan pembahasan tentang kualitas layanannya. Setiap galeri yang ingin maju dan berkembang, dituntut untuk selalu meningkatkan dan menjaga kualitas layanannya dengan baik. Sebab, hanya dengan cara meningkatkan atau menjaga kualitas layanan yang baik, maka hubungan dengan para pelanggan dapat dipertahankan secara terus-menerus. Sangkring Art Space (SAS) merupakan salah satu galeri seni yang ada di Yogyakarta. Sejak awal berdiri hingga saat ini, SAS rutin mengadakan pameran untuk memenuhi kebutuhan para perupa (pelanggan) yang berpameran di SAS. Penelitian ini difokuskan untuk menganalisis kualitas layanan yang disediakan Galeri SAS. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif yaitu metode penelitian survei dengan alat SERVQUAL oleh Parasuraman dkk (1988). Rancangan penelitian yang digunakan ialah studi potong lintang (cross-sectional) dan populasi yang diminati ialah pelanggan Galeri SAS. Metode pengambilan sampel dilakukan secara tidak acak (non-probability sampling), yaitu berjumlah 40 orang responden, terdiri dari laki-laki dan perempuan dewasa berusia di atas 25 tahun yang berpameran di Galeri SAS. Berdasarkan penelitian ini, ditemukan hasil, nilai ekspektasi sebesar 5.61 dan nilai persepsi sebesar 5.54. Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa bahwa ekspektasi melebihi persepsi pelanggan. Artinya kualitas layanan yang disediakan SAS tidak memenuhi ekspektasi pelanggan. Abstract Talking about galleries as one of the services of engaged in arts, is closely related to the discussion of the quality of its services. Every gallery that wants to progress and develop, is required to always improve and maintain the quality of its services well. Because, only by maintaining good service quality, relationships can be maintained with customers continuously. Sangkring Art Space (SAS) is one of the art galleries in Yogyakarta. Since its inception until now, SAS regularly holds exhibitions to meet the needs of artists (customers) who exhibit in SAS. This study is focused on analyzing the quality of services provided by the SAS gallery. This study uses a quantitative approach, namely survey research methods with SERVQUAL tools by Parasuraman et al (PZB, 1988). The study gallery was used as a crosssectional study and SAS gallery customers. The sampling method was conducted by non-probability sampling, which amounted to 40 respondents, consisting of men and women aged over 25 years who exhibited in the SAS gallery. Based on this study, results were found, the expectation value was 5.61 and the perception value was 5.54. Thus it can be concluded that expectations exceed customer perceptions. This means that the quality of services provided by SAS does not meet customer expectations

Meta Analyses

Objective – Systematic reviews are becoming increasingly popular within the Library and Information Science (LIS) domain. This paper has three aims: to review approaches to quality assessment in published LIS systematic reviews in order to assess whether and how LIS reviewers report on quality assessment a priori in systematic reviews, to model the different quality assessment aids used by LIS reviewers, and to explore if and how LIS reviewers report on and incorporate the quality of included studies into the systematic review analysis and conclusions. Methods – The authors undertook a methodological study of published LIS systematic reviews using a known cohort of published systematic reviews of LIS-related research. Studies were included if they were reported as a “systematic review” in the title, abstract, or methods section. Meta-analyses that did not incorporate a systematic review and studies in which the systematic review was not a main objective were excluded. Two reviewers independently assessed the studies. Data were extracted on the type of synthesis, whether quality assessment was planned and undertaken, the number of reviewers involved in assessing quality, the types of tools or criteria used to assess the quality of the included studies, how quality assessment was assessed and reported in the systematic review, and whether the quality of the included studies was considered in the analysis and conclusions of the review. In order to determine the quality of the reporting and incorporation of quality assessment in LIS systematic reviews, each study was assessed against criteria relating to quality assessment in the PRISMA reporting guidelines for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (Moher, Liberati, Tetzlaff, Altman, & The PRISMA Group, 2009) and the AMSTAR tool (Shea et al., 2007). Results – Forty studies met the inclusion criteria. The results demonstrate great variation on the breadth, depth, and transparency of the quality assessment process in LIS systematic reviews. Nearly one third of the LIS systematic reviews included in this study did not report on quality assessment in the methods, and less than one quarter adequately incorporated quality assessment in the analysis, conclusions, and recommendations. Only nine of the 26 systematic reviews that undertook some form of quality assessment incorporated considerations of how the quality of the included studies impacted on the validity of the review findings in the analysis, conclusion, and recommendations. The large number of different quality assessment tools identified reflects not only the disparate nature of the LIS evidence base (Brettle, 2009) but also a lack of consensus around criteria on which to assess the quality of LIS research. Conclusion – Greater clarity, definition, and understanding of the methodology and concept of “quality” in the systematic review process are required not only by LIS reviewers but also by editors of journals in accepting such studies for publication. Further research and guidance is needed on identifying the best tools and approaches to incorporate considerations of quality in LIS systematic reviews. LIS reviewers need to improve the robustness and transparency with which quality assessment is undertaken and reported in systematic reviews. Above all, LIS reviewers need to be explicit in coming to a conclusion on how the quality of the included studies may impact on their review findings.

Multiple Sclerosis Patients

Study Objective: To study the types of attitude to their disease in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and the effects of depressive disorders on the internal picture of the disease. Study Design: This was a comparative prospective study. Materials and Methods: One hundred and twenty-nine patients with clinically verified MS, aged 15 to 61, participated in the study. They were divided into two groups: those who had MS without depression (n = 56) and those who had both MS and depression (n = 73). The study tools included the А. Beck Depression Inventory; a depression self-assessment scale developed at the V.M. Bekhterev Research Institute; the Khanin modification of the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, intended to assess personality-related and reactive anxiety; the Asthenia Assessment Scale developed by L.D. Malkova; and the “Mini-Mult” and “Attitude to Disease” personality assessment tools. Study Results: The study revealed that more than half of the MS patients had depression. The severity of their depressive disorders was consistent with a moderate depressive episode. Personality assessment of the MS patients with depression showed that women had high scores on the scales for depression and hysteria and moderate scores on the scales for paranoia and schizoid tendencies and males had high scores on the scales for psychopathy, paranoia, and psychasthenia. In the group of MS patients without depression, there were no statistically significant differences in scale scores between men and women. The MS patients without depression more often demonstrated ergopathic (р = 0.0006), anosognosic (p = 0.00003), or balanced (p = 0.01) attitudes to the disease, with a focus on maintaining their occupational status and continuing an active life, while the MS patients with depression exhibited attitudes related to particular personality traits, with signs of a disturbed social maladjustment and advantage by illness. Men with both MS and depression more often had neurasthenic and hypochondriacal attitudes and women with both MS and depression more frequently have sensitive, egocentric, paranoid or dysphoric attitudes to the disease, which are characterized by even more markedly disturbed social adjustment and various types of maladaptive behavior (using others to achieve their goals), and aggressive tendencies. Conclusion: Depressive disorders in MS patients significantly change their psychological structure and how they see the world around them, and reduce their resource capacities, making social adjustment more challenging and worsening their quality of life. When affective disorders are diagnosed in a timely manner and treated in their early stages, patients with MS choose more adaptive mechanisms of psychological defense and more adaptive attitudes to the disease, which improves their quality of life. Keywords: multiple sclerosis, type of attitude to a disease, depression, anxiety, social adjustment, internal picture of a disease.
