Citizens’ Preparedness to Deal with Emergencies as an Important Component of Civil Protection

The main purpose of this paper is to point out a new approach in evaluating the preparedness of the population of a selected city for civil protection and its response to emergencies. Using new approaches, it evaluates a subjective questionnaire survey in combination with the objective state thanks to a mathematical approach and its subsequent verification on a specific example. The proposed approaches are then verified by experimental surveys in the selected city. The result is a highly adaptable tool that can be set up and adapted to different situations and different types of questionnaires to address the preparedness and safety of the population for emergencies. Thanks to this tool, it is possible to evaluate the subjective opinions of the population and thus gain insight into the assessment of the city’s preparedness for emergencies. Subsequently, we can set the prevention and preparedness of the population in the city on the basis of the obtained outputs, which potentially has a fundamental influence on the response after the occurrence of an emergency. Improving preparedness in the area of civil protection shall not only be reflected in the response and minimization of the consequences of the emergency, but also in the emotional security of the population.

ANALYSIS OF MECHANICAL VIBRATION OF A SERVOMOTOR USING VIBROMETRY

The servomotor must ensure resistance to the environment (mechanical vibration, humidity, temperature) in which it will be operated. It is the vibration that is one of the important monitored parameters that allow obtaining initial information about the operational status of the equipment. Exceeding the preset limits adversely affects the service life and reliability of the components. The experimental part is focused on recording and analyzing the magnitude of vibration acceleration, through frequency spectrum and its comparison with the envelopes of frequency spectrums. The obtained graphical dependencies from the experiments are a suitable basis for the assessment of the objective state.

Reading Rape in Livy's History of Rome, Shakespeare's The Rape of Lucrece and J.M. Coetzee's In the Heart of the Country

<p>Mieke Bal argues that rape "takes place inside. In this sense, rape is by definition imagined; it can exist only as experience and as memory, as image translated into signs, never adequately 'objectifiable'" (100). In this thesis, by critically examining some ways in which rape has been made to seem objectifiable in literature, I argue that rape cannot simply be 'seen' from a "point-of-viewless" (Rooney 89) perspective. My argument supports Catharine A. MacKinnon's call for a rethinking of rape-related "legal process as one involving a choice between incommensurate meanings rather than one of uncovering a (temporarily hidden) fact, the Truth" (Rooney 90). I argue that, in Livy's History of Rome and Shakespeare's The Rape of Lucrece, rape is portrayed as an objectifiably visible spectacle; the rape victim's description of rape functions in a capacity analogous to testimony, supporting "rape law's assumption that a single, objective state of affairs existed" (MacKinnon 654); and the rape victim's post-rape, self-inflicted violence functions as a form of self-punishment which references historically specific correlations between female unchastity and socio-political calamity. In contrast, I argue that, in J.M. Coetzee's novel In the Heart of the Country, the narration discourages readers from accepting the objectifiability of the rape which it relates; the narrator's "meditations" (Gallagher 82) deviate from the conventions of testimony, expressing instead the "incommensurate meanings" (Rooney 90) that rape holds for the victim herself; and the descriptions of violence, abuse, and victim response present the chance for readers to interpret the aftermath of rape in a manner other than that which "conveys the idea that the victim is responsible for her own destruction" (Bal 100).</p>

The original Wigner’s friend paradox within a realist toy model

The original Wigner’s friend paradox is a gedankenexperiment involving an observer described by an external agent. The paradox highlights the tension between unitary evolution and collapse in quantum theory, and is sometimes taken as requiring a reassessment of the notion of objective reality. In this note, however, we present a classical toy model in which (i) the contradicting predictions at the heart of the thought experiment are reproduced (ii) every system is in a well-defined state at all times. The toy model shows how puzzles such as Wigner’s friend’s experience of being in a superposition, conflicts between different agents’ descriptions of the experiment, the positioning of the Heisenberg’s cut and the apparent lack of objectivity of measurement outcomes can be explained within a classical model where there exists an objective state of affairs about every physical system at all times. Within the model, the debate surrounding the original Wigner’s friend thought experiment and its resolution have striking similarities with arguments concerning the nature of the second law of thermodynamics. The same conclusion however does not apply to more recent extensions of the gedankenexperiment featuring multiple encapsulated observers, and shows that such extensions are indeed necessary avoid simple classical explanations.

Tinjauan Pelepasan Informasi Rekam Medis Kepada Pihak Ketiga Di RSU Imelda Pekerja Indonesia Medan

The Imelda Workers General Hospital of Indonesia does not yet have specific routines regarding the release of medical record information to third parties. however, they have used regular procedures for providing information and borrowing medical records in general, This study aims to determine the number of requests for medical record information. This type of research is descriptive, namely the research method carried out with the aim of making an objective state. The population was 4 people and the sample size was 4 people as the total sampling with the research methodology using quantitative methods. How to collect data by interview and observation. The results showed that the services of the Imelda Hospital for Indonesian Workers in Medan according to legalized death certificates amounted to 34 percent (0.56%), claims for raharja services amounted to 56 percent (0.92%), audits and insurance claims were 69 percent (1.14%) , research or education as much as 54 percent (0.89), post mortem as much as 28 percent (0.46%), BPJS as much as 5,790 percent (99.00%). Based on the results of the study, it is known that knowing the data on the number of requests for medical record information in January-June 2020 is 6,224 with a percentage (99.97%). As well as the absence of a special SPO on procedures and utilization of medical record information of deceased patients, however, they have used the permanent procedure of providing information and borrowing medical records in general. It is recommended that hospitals and medical record officers provide regular training or coaching to officers. And to health workers, especially medical records, in order to maintain the confidentiality of patient medical record information and carry out the established procedures properly.

Positive-Unlabeled Learning from Imbalanced Data

Positive-unlabeled (PU) learning deals with the binary classification problem when only positive (P) and unlabeled (U) data are available, without negative (N) data. Existing PU methods perform well on the balanced dataset. However, in real applications such as financial fraud detection or medical diagnosis, data are always imbalanced. It remains unclear whether existing PU methods can perform well on imbalanced data. In this paper, we explore this problem and propose a general learning objective for PU learning targeting specially at imbalanced data. By this general learning objective, state-of-the-art PU methods based on optimizing a consistent risk can be adapted to conquer the imbalance. We theoretically show that in expectation, optimizing our learning objective is equivalent to learning a classifier on the oversampled balanced data with both P and N data available, and further provide an estimation error bound. Finally, experimental results validate the effectiveness of our proposal compared to state-of-the-art PU methods.

Аllergic Basal Deciduitis as a Reason of Recurrent Antenatal Fetal Death

BACKGROUND: Allergic diseases of pregnant women are associated with chronic placental insufficiency and the development of immunopathological conditions of unknown etiology in a child in postnatal life. Pregnancy with bronchial asthma is often complicated by intrauterine growth retardation, preeclampsia, and antenatal fetal death. AIM: The objective was to present a clinical case of recurrent antenatal fetal death in the third trimester in women with bronchial asthma under controlled course. CASE REPORT: Pregnancy proceeded without clinical signs of exacerbation of bronchial asthma and allergic status. However, chronic inflammation with eosinophilia in the intervillous space and the basal lamina was revealed in the placenta tissue. Eosinophilia of the intervillous area was accompanied by obliteration of the intervillous area by fibrin deposits. CONCLUSION: We suppose that immunological inflammation at the fetoplacental unit level can occur regardless of the mother’s allergic status. Moreover, it is likely that the objective state of the mother in the presence of an allergic disease does not reflect the presence/absence of an immunological process in the placenta, as the immunological inflammatory process can develop in different compartments (at the level of the mother’s body and the placental-fetal compartment) with varying degrees of severity.

Giving a Source or Basis: The Practice in Conversation of Telling “How I Know”

The way an assertion is formed bears on the nature of the claim for which the speaker is accountable. Speakers are accountable for different claims in saying “There are flies here” versus “I haven't noticed any flies here” versus “John said there are no flies here.” A feature of describing one’s basis is that smaller claims are made than in asserting an objective state of affairs. In describing what is directly experienced, speakers are strictly accountable for representing only their experiences while they imply that these experiences are more or less typical. In reporting what others have said, speakers are strictly accountable for citing accurately, not for the views cited. Several uses for giving a source or basis of an assertion are described. Reporting a source may be used to argue for the validity of a claim, back away from the validity of a claim, and/or remove oneself from authorship accountability. The credibility of the cited source is crucial for whether a claim is portrayed as more or less believable. Interactants report their sources during disputes, in situations of doubt, and when they perform sensitive actions.
