The performance test by 4 respondents of the old system and the new system with an average of 43.7% of the old work system, and 87.5% of the new work system showed that the new system was effective and efficient.

Challenging Good-For Monism

‘Challenging Good-For Monism’ takes on the good-for monist, who maintains that both value dualism and Mooreanism get things wrong. For the good-for monist there is one fundamental final value, and it is final goodness-for. The first challenge to this kind of monism concerns value aggregation. It is showed why value dualism has an advantage over good-for monism when dualism explains why we should favour what common sense dictates in certain cases involving aggregation. A second challenge concerns good-for monism’s understanding of certain thick value concepts. The argument here is simple, but it nonetheless requires some unravelling. The point is that to be appropriately analysed, certain thick value concepts require impersonal goodness or at least impersonal normativity. Finally, the chapter considers whether good-for monism is able to avoid some of its problems by endorsing a popular subjectivist strategy for analysing good-for. This strategy fails, however. To conclude, good-for monism fails to provide us the tools with which to understand a common response to core issues in normative ethics. It also bars us from making some evaluations involving thick evaluative terms, which, in principle, we should be able to endorse or reject on substantive grounds.

Value Taxonomy

‘Value Taxonomy’ has two objectives. First, it presents a range of approaches to classifying values. In doing so, it brings to the fore key notions and distinctions that play important roles in value theory in general, but especially in this work, such as intrinsic/final value, final/non-final value, intrinsic/extrinsic value, and relational/non-relational value; derivative and non-derivative value; attributive and predicative use. In value theory, the nature of the value-making features functions as a gateway to how we should understand many of the above distinctions. The chapter considers therefore some advantages and disadvantages of this approach. Second, ‘Value Taxonomy’ introduces some of the key issues in formal and substantive value theory, respectively, for a reader who is not familiar with contemporary value theory.

Aesthetic Value

This chapter develops a foundational account of aesthetic value in general. It presents an analysis of aesthetic value as ‘objectified final value’. It is not only that we can aesthetically value the world, but also that we only really value the world in its own right by means of aesthetic value. This analysis is then underwritten with a key psychological claim: that aesthetic values are ‘distal versions’ of practical values. Moreover, the intensity of each aesthetic value rests on an ‘essential tension’ where a psychological reward is balanced against a challenge. It is then argued that this characterization demands a realist, object-focused (rather than experience-focused) model of aesthetic value. This permits the genuine sharing of aesthetic value.

The Aesthetic Value of the World

In this book, Tom Cochrane defends Aestheticism—the claim that everything is aesthetically valuable and that a life lived in pursuit of aesthetic value can be a particularly good one. Furthermore, in distilling aesthetic qualities, artists have a special role to play in teaching us to recognize values; a critical component of virtue. Cochrane grounds his account upon an analysis of aesthetic value as ‘objectified final value’, which is underwritten by an original psychological claim that all aesthetic values are distal versions of practical values. This is followed by systematic accounts of beauty, sublimity, comedy, drama, and tragedy, as well as Appendix entries on the cute, the cool, the kitsch, the uncanny, the horrific, the erotic, and the furious.

Performance evaluation of waste management in MRF-3R (case study Sukoharjo District)

Independent waste management system based on the community with the implementation of Material Recovery Facilities with reduce, reuse, recycle principles (MRF 3R) has been widely applied in various places, including Sukoharjo District. Based on data from DLH Sukoharjo District, currently in Sukoharjo District there are 6 MRF-3R. The current condition of MRF-3R still cannot be monitored optimally, so the performance of each MRF-3R is not yet known. This study aims to evaluate the performance of waste management in MRF-3R by taking a case study in Sukoharjo District. This research was conducted based on the 2017 MRF-3R Technical Guidelines. This study will evaluate aspects of supporting regulatory products and technical technology. Based on evaluation results of supporting regulatory product aspects, the final value for 5 MRF-3R can be categorized as medium. Meanwhile, evaluation results of technical and technology aspects of each MRF-3R have a different categorization result. Following are the technical and technology evaluation results from each MRF-3R, MRF-3R Gonilan is categorized as a medium, MRF-3R Gumpang is categorized as not good, MRF-3R Ngabeyan is categorized as good, MRF-3R Kwarasan is categorized as not good, and MRF-3R Sanggrahan is categorized as medium.

Optimization of the stages of a ship's cargo plan development for shippining of general cargoes

One of the main tasks in stability calculations is to provide the ship with the necessary (optimal) trim whose final value is influenced by the arrangement of cargo on the ship. Today, however, there are rules and requirements but there is no unified approach to developing a cargo plan for a vessel that simultaneously transports various types of general cargo. In order to improve the efficiency of the above calculations, a procedure has been proposed to optimize developing a cargo plan for a vessel carrying heterogeneous general cargoes at the same time, the main idea of which is to distribute consignments on the ship in two stages, taking into consideration the compensating trimming moment. The scheme to develop a cargo plan has been improved by introducing the developed procedure. The results of verification confirmed its effectiveness in practice. Possible deviations of the values for the trim required (optimal) for the voyage from the actual one calculated after the allocation of stocks and consignments of goods have been investigated using an example of the series of developed cargo plans. It should be noted that the value for the trim, required (optimal) and actual, for each individual cargo plan does not differ by more than 8 %. The results reported in this paper give grounds to assert the expediency of their application when developing cargo plans for tramp shipping vessels. The introduction of the procedure could make it possible to effectively load a vessel with the full utilization of both its carrying capacity and cargo capacity. The use of the proposed scheme for developing a cargo plan to transport heterogeneous cargoes would reduce the total time for calculating the stability and strength of the vessel in general

Vaccination of pentivalent, DTP, ADS vaccine for healthy and frequently sick children

Aim. To study the formation of anti-diphtheria post-vaccination immunity in practically healthy, and frequently sick children vaccinated with pentavalent, ADTP, and ADT vaccine.Material and methods. We observed 50 practically healthy and 92 frequently sick children. All children were vaccinated three times with a pentavalent vaccine, as well as revaccination with ADTP and ADT. The formation of specific anti-diphtheria immunity was detected for all children after 6 months, after 1 year, and after 5 years. The results were interpreted according to the final value of the optical density levels of protection: basic from -0,01 to 0,1; full protection -> 0.1; long-term protection -> 1.0.Results and discussion. After 6 months the intensity of post-vaccination immunity in both practically healthy and frequently sick children was the highest: full protection (> 0.1) (45,8%), basic protection (0,01 to 0,1) (31,0%). Statistical significance decreased after a year: full protection (45,8% versus 12,1%, p <0,001), and lack of protection increased (2,6% versus 55,7%, p <0,001), which indicated to the development of unstable immunity, therefore revaccination with ADTP and ADT vaccines were performed. 5 years after revaccination specific immunity tended to increase in both healthy and often-ill children.Conclusion. To create stable and long-term immunity when using “killed” vaccines and toxoids, revaccination vaccinations are required at various times after the course of vaccination for frequently ill children, as indicated by the data of basic and complete protection.

Penilaian Status Kesehatan Hutan Mangrove Di Desa Margasari Kecamatan Labuhan Maringgai Kabupaten Lampung Timur

Mangrove forest ecosystems can be interpreted as a unique and distinctive form of ecosystem, so that it is able to provide many benefits, ranging from socio-economic or ecological terms to the surrounding ecosystem. Mangrove forest in Margasari Village is a mangrove forest ecosystem that has physical, economic and ecological potential that needs to be maintained through sustainable forest management. One of the ways to manage mangroves is by monitoring forest health. Forest health monitoring that is applied periodically within a forest type can achieve sustainable forest management achievements so as to support better forest quality and quantity and can be a reference in making the right decisions in mangrove forest management so that the results obtained can be optimal. This study aims to obtain the value of the health status of mangrove forests in East Lampung Regency in order to ensure the sustainability of the forest. The study was conducted using themethod Forest Health Monitoring (FHM). The results of forest health monitoring showed that there were 4 plot clusters with the final value of forest health status in the medium category plot 1 (5.63), cluster plot 2 (3.51) poor category, cluster plot 3 (4.92) poor category, and cluster plot 4 (7.57) in good category. Thus the results of forest health monitoring obtained in the mangrove forest of Margasari Village with an average final value of forest health status of 5.41 which is included in the medium category.
