This paper attempts to illuminate some of the ethical dilemmas of a clinician/researcher interviewing women about a sensitive topic- their experience of having witnessed domestic violence in the family they grew up in, as part of a grounded theory study. Vignettes are presented to illustrate the self-reflexive process of the researcher and how she understood the effects of the interview process on her and the participants. The authors argue that doing in-depth qualitative research interviewing is an intervention in the life of the participants, especially, but not only, when the researchers are clinically-trained. However, this clinical training may also be an important resource from which to draw from, to act ethically and understand some of the complexity of the interaction between researcher and participants.

Introduction: Spinal Anaesthesia (SA) is a form of regional anaesthesia involving injection of a local anaesthetic into the subarachnoid space. SA is directly related to nervous system, so its mismanagement may cause various complications hence, prevention and management of complication is a vital and complex aspect of critical nursing care. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the nurse’s knowledge on the management of patient receiving spinal anaesthesia. Methodology: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among nurses of Koshi Zonal Hospital of Province no. 1, Biratnagar, Nepal from May to June 2017. Non-probability purposive sampling method was used where self-administered questionnaire was administered among 67 working nurses in the hospital. Results: The majority of the respondents (77.6%) belonged to 20-30 years of age group, nearly half (44.8%) of the respondents had completed PCL nursing. Only 67.2% explained the meaning of anaesthesia, and 58.2% had knowledge on physiological changes after SA. Regarding ambulation and cause of backache, 29.9% had knowledge whereas only 20.9% had knowledge about management of post spinal backache. Respondents facing problem to manage the complication after SA was 13.4%. This study also found that the overall knowledge regarding SA was adequate among 80.6% respondents.

This research was conducted for analyzing the effect of mediating variable that is individual task proactivity as one of the proactivities of behavior towards the relationship between self-efficacy and the employees’ performance in the logistics companies of shipping the goods. It uses convenience sampling, which is a non-probability sampling method for getting the sample of 52 employees. They were divided into two divisions, namely infrastructure and quality assurance. The questionnaire consists of two parts, in which some were assessed by themselves and others that were assessed by the supervisor. They were analyzed using path analysis using analytical tools developed by Hayes, Preacher-Hayes with the simple mediation models. It was found that employees have self-efficacy, individual task proactivity, and relatively high performance, in which individual task proactivity can be a mediating variable on the effect self-efficacy on performance.

This study was conducted to analyze the performance of the service of tax authorities, Taxation Services and Tax Compliance of taxpayers and the influence tax authorities Services and Taxation Services to the personal taxpayer compliance in Semarang District. The study using a survey research approach. The population in this study were all individual taxpayers in the district of Semarang. Sampling method using judgment sampling with a sample of 100 taxpayers. Methods of data collection using questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis using multiple linear regression analysis. The study concluded that: (a) variable of tax authorities service had no significant effect on the variable Taxpayer Compliance; (b) Taxation Services has positive and significant effect on Taxpayer Compliance; (c) variable service of tax authorities and Taxation Services simultaneously have significant effect on Taxpayer Compliance. The research suggestions: (a) taxation socialization should be increased so that all taxpayers know that they have choices and ease to report SPT; (b) Tax Officer must more Proactive and communicative to the taxpayers; (c) rewards and punishments apply to the taxpayer in accordance with the legislation in force; (d) variable service of tax authorities and Taxation Service has simultaneously contributed influences on taxpayer compliance is relatively small at only 16.7 percent. It is therefore recommended for future studies to examine several other factors, such as the understanding of the self-assessment system, education level, income level, tax penalties, or because of attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control.Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk menganalisis kinerja Pelayanan Fiskus, Pelayanan Perpajakan dan Kepatuhan Wajib Pajak serta pengaruh Pelayanan Fiskus dan Pelayanan Perpajakan Wajib Pajak terhadap kepatuhan Wajib Pajak Orang Pribadi di Kabupaten Semarang. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan survey. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh WP Orang Pribadi (OP) di Kabupaten Semarang. Metode penarikan sampel dilakukan dengan teknik judgement Sampling dengan jumlah sampel 100 WP. Metode pengumpulan data menggunakan Kuesioner, Wawancara, dan Dokumentasi. Analisis menggunakan analisis regresi linier berganda. Penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa: (a) Pelayanan Fiskus tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap variabel Kepatuhan WP; (b) Pelayanan Perpajakan berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap variabel Kepatuhan WP; (c) Variabel Pelayanan Fiskus dan Pelayanan Perpajakan secara simultan berpengaruh signifikan terhadap Kepatuhan WP. Saran-saran penelitian: (a) Sosialisasi media penyampaian SPT dan penyuluhan perpajakan harus ditingkatkan agar semua WP mengetahui bahwa mereka memiliki pilihan-pilihan dan kemudahan dalam menyampaikan SPT; (b) Petugas Pajak harus Lebih Proaktif dan Komunikatif kepada para WP; (c) menerapkan reward dan punishment kepada WP sesuai dengan peraturan perundang-undangan yang berlaku; (d) Variabel Pelayanan Fiskus dan Pelayanan Perpajakan secara simultan memiliki kontribusi pengaruh terhadap kepatuhan WP yang terbilang kecil yaitu hanya 16,7 persen. Oleh karena itu bagi penelitian selanjutnya disarankan untuk meneliti beberapa faktor lain, misalnya adalah pemahaman terhadap sistem self assessment, tingkat pendidikan, tingkat penghasilan, sanksi perpajakan, atau karena faktor sikap, norma subyektif, dan kontrol perilaku yang dipersepsikan.

The interdependent relationship of fatigue stress and span was regarded as a grey system using grey system theory and method. The stress level of fatigue test was uniformly divided into many grades and the whiting value of safe span was found out. A smooth discrete function was formed based on one accumulation of safe span value series. Therefore, the model of grey system was set up and the differential equation of grey system was solved. The accuracy of model was improved by revising the residual model. The safe span value at every stress level could be calculated using the reduction model of the grey system. It provided a new way for the safe span calculation of mechanical parts, which would be of great application value.
