Collection realization of shopping budget in the year end

This study wanted to determine the factors that caused the accumulation of year-end budgets in the DP2KBP3A Bangka Regency for the 2017-2019 fiscal year. The data sources are field studies and documentation in related offices at the Bangka Regency Regional Work Unit. Based on the primary data analysis and discussion of the results, we report that the causes of budget accumulation are, among others, still more dominant, characterized by item line systems, incremental, rigid, overlapping, conflicts of interest, motives for seeking personal and group benefits, budget wastage, and does not provide benefits for improving the performance of the apparatus and public services. The factors for the procurement of goods/services related to the procurement of goods/services are the lack of knowledge about the regulations in the process of procuring goods/services, the weak management commitment of the SKPD head, and the commitment of the employees involved in the procurement of goods/services. The process of procuring goods/services and the SKPD environment is not yet conducive to coordination and teamwork. Other problems include the human resource deficit that manages finances. We hope that this result will be a valuable input for developing the following study.

Naturalization, Labor and Market: Three Essays by John Locke

Вниманию читателей предлагается перевод трех эссе Джона Локка (1632–1704), не опубликованных при его жизни и никогда не публиковавшихся в России: «О всеобщей натурализации» (1693), «Труд» (1693) и “Venditio” (1695). Все они написаны в период после Славной революции 1688–1689 годов и затрагивают злободневные политические темы постреволюционной Англии. В результате экономического и финансового кризиса 1690-х годов в стране резко упал уровень жизни и возник дефицит ресурсов, возместить который Локк предполагал за счет труда и мировой торговли. Локк подчеркивает основополагающую роль труда как основы счастья и общего блага. В «совершенствовании ума» он видит способ снижения политической напряженности, а призывая двор отказаться от широко распространенных привычек к роскоши и пустому времяпрепровождению, надеется на то, что личный пример правителя поможет ввести в моду честный труд. Он также выступает против ксенофобии и предлагает доводы, доказывающие безопасность и необходимость натурализации. Несмотря на то что в Билле о натурализации 1693 года имелась в виду прежде всего помощь гугенотам, бежавшим в Англию после отмены Нантского эдикта (1685), Локк рассматривает этот вопрос в более общем плане и говорит о пользе труда любых мигрантов, стремящихся в качестве натурализовавшихся и потому лояльных подданных принять участие в приумножении национального богатства. Аргументы Локка в пользу свободы рыночных цен сопровождаются важными оговорками, подразумевающими традиционные схоластические концепции моральных ограничений рынка, а также милосердия в случаях «абсолютной необходимости». The article presents three essays written by John Locke (1632–1704): “For a General Naturalization” (1693), “Labor” (1693), “Venditio” (1695). The essays were not published during the philosopher’s lifetime and have never been previously translated into Russian. Written in the aftermath of the Glorious Revolution (1688–1689), the three essays focus on political issues facing post-revolutionary England. The economic and financial crisis of the 1690s had a direct impact on the living conditions of the population and resulted in resource deficit which Locke planned to overcome by means of labor and international trade. Locke underlines the pivotal role of labor as a prerequisite for common wellbeing. Locke believes that the improvement of the mind is a way to reduce political tension. He maintains that it is essential that courtiers should give up luxurious and degrading habits. He believes that a ruler’s example will promote honest labor. Locke lambasts xenophobia and advocates naturalization. Despite the fact that the Naturalization Act of 1693 granted assistance to Huguenots who fled to England after the repeal of the Edict of Nantes of 1685, Locke treats the issue in a broader sense and advocates that migrant workers willing to become naturalized and loyal to their new country are a great asset in augmenting the national wealth. Promoting free market prices, Locke underlines the necessity of holding to the scholastic concept of economic ethics and of setting standards of fairness and compassion in transactions.

Strategies of nurse-midwives in relation to working conditions in maternity hospitals

ABSTRACT Objectives: to understand the working conditions and strategies adopted by nurse-midwives in maternity hospitals. Methods: a qualitative, descriptive, exploratory study with 20 nurse-midwives from public maternity hospitals in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Data were collected from June to September 2018 through semi-structured interviews, submitted to thematic content analysis and discussed in the light of the psychodynamics of work. Results: working conditions are inadequate due to poor infrastructure and resource deficit. Therefore, they develop defensive strategies to mitigate suffering, avoid destabilization of professional identity and minimize losses on care, through material purchase, lunch hour abdication, task reorganization and break implementation. Final Considerations: the strategies adopted hide work precariousness and suggest alienation of workers, evidencing the need to foster political awareness of this collective to promote concrete transformations in their work reality.

USING PROSODY TO PREDICT UPCOMING REFERENTS IN THE L1 AND THE L2

While monolingual speakers can use contrastive pitch accents to predict upcoming referents, bilingual speakers do not always use this cue predictively in their L2. The current study examines the role of recent exposure for predictive processing in native German (L1) second language learners of English (L2). In Experiment 1, participants followed instructions to click on two successive objects, for example, Click on the red carrot/duck. Click on the green/GREEN carrot (where CAPS indicate a contrastive L + H* accent). Participants predicted a repeated noun following a L + H* accent in the L1, but not in the L2, where processing was delayed. Experiment 2 shows that after an exposure period with highly consistent prosodic cues, bilinguals engaged in predictive processing in both their L1 and L2. However, inconsistent prosodic cues showed different effects on bilinguals’ L1 and L2 predictive processing. The results are discussed in terms of exposure-based and resource-deficit models of processing.

Plant Yield Efficiency by Homeostasis as Selection Tool at Ultra-Low Density. A Comparative Study with Common Stability Measures in Maize

The study pertains to field experimentation testing seven maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids at four densities, across five locations under normal (NIR) and low-input (LIR) regimes. The main objective was to assess the prognostic value of plant yield efficiency by homeostasis (PYEH) for breeding purposes at ultra-low plant density to predict hybrid yield potential and stability. PYEH comprises plant yield efficiency (PYE) that reflects the ability of individual plants to exploit resources, and plant yield homeostasis (PYH) that indicates the crop’s ability to evade acquired plant-to-plant variability. The same hybrids were also evaluated for stability by commonly used parametric and non-parametric statistics based on data at low (LCD) and high crop densities (HCD). Hybrid stability focused on potential yield loss due to erratic optimum density (OD). Most methods produced conflicting results regarding hybrid ranking for yield and stability especially at LCD. In contrast, PYEH consistently highlighted high-yielding and stable hybrids, potentially able to reach the attainable crop yield (ACY) inter-seasonally irrespective of crop spacing. Low density is common practice under resource-deficit conditions, so crop adaptation to crop spacing is a viable option to overcome erratic OD that constitutes a root source of crop instability in rainfed maize. The results were further supportive of breeding at ultra-low density to facilitate the identification and selection of superior genotypes, since such conditions promote phenotypic expression and differentiation, and ensure repeatability across diverse environments.

Strategic Priorities and Principles of Increasing the Investment Attractiveness of a Resource Deficient Region

In the article the author focuses on the existing internal economic contradictions in regional development. The researcher indicates that classifying a region or including it into the regions lagging in economic development correlates with its resource supply taking into account the raw material nature of Russian economy. The article offfers the author’s interpretation of the concept of a “resource-deficient region”, as well as a gradation of the level of resource deficiency in the region: easy (acceptable) resource deficiency, sufficient (medium) resource deficiency, and deep resource deficiency. The author analyses one of the sources of more effective strategic development of resource deficit regions, it is the growth of investment attractiveness. The author has made a review of measures increasing the investment attractiveness of a region, developed by scientists and researchers. The strategic priorities of increasing the investment attractiveness of a resource-deficient region (depending on the degree of provision of resources) are proposed in terms of types of resources: financial, labor, natural, infrastructural, informational ones. The author has developed a system of principles for the growth of the investment attractiveness in a resource-deficient region (protection of investors’ interests, reasonable preferential conditions, economic feasibility of measures being developed, variability of measures increasing the investment attractiveness, optimal use of resources). The suggested principles allow optimizing the implementation of the tasks of forming the investment attractiveness of a resource-deficient region, creating the most comfortable conditions for internal and external investors, thereby increasing the competitiveness of the investment sector of a resource-deficient region, and developing measures to increase the investment attractiveness taking into account the specifics of a particular resource-deficient region. The author recommends reflecting the principles of increasing the investment attractiveness of a resource-deficient region in the main strategic documents that determine the development measures of a resourcedeficient region, linking them with tools to achieve strategic goals and objectives of the investment development of a resource-deficient region. The mechanisms of increasing the investment attractiveness of a resource-deficient region are studied based on the Chuvash Republic.

Latin America’s Pivot toward Asia

This concluding chapter summarizes the book’s conceptual framework with regard to China’s economic integration with select LAC countries since 2000. The author disputes realist interpretations of China’s rise in Latin America as a security threat to US hegemony and argues that China needed to internationalize its development strategy to compensate for its natural resource deficit. China’s ten LAC strategic partners now represent the majority of trade, loans, and FDI outflows from China to Latin America, and China is now the second-most-important trade partner for the region after the US. This relationship is contributing to the development of select LAC countries in order to propel China’s own growth and development. The author then moves to the political economy scenarios that have evolved within those LAC countries that have the strongest trade links and FDI inflows from China, in order to dispute the critique of neo-dependency scholars before offering the main takeaways.
