The purpose of this research is to examine accounting students in Batam City who have a career in public accounting which measures the accounting profession, job requirements and work results of accountants. The extent to which the accounting profession, accountants work requirements and accountants' work results affect the career choices of students in the public accounting sector. This study used a sample of 302 undergraduate students from various universities in Batam City. The questionnaire consists of 20 question items which use a Likert scale ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree. The distribution of the questionnaire was completed in mid-October 2021. The data used descriptive statistics that had been collected were entered and analyzed using the SPSS version 26 program. Public accountants have a working profession so that researchers found that accounting was rated higher by respondents in relation to the work of accountants as a profession. boring, routine and monotonous. Then, in connection with the choice of a career as a public accountant from Batam City students, it shows that the choice of a career as a public accountant is more dominant than other accountants such as corporate accountants. Thus, corporate policy makers should help to make the corporate accounting sector more attractive and educate students about the importance of being a financial steward in a company. Despite the limitations of the study it would still be useful for policy makers to create new or new ideas and modify their strategies with respect to the problems identified

<abstract> <p>Automatic systems (ASs) can automatically control the work of controlled objects without unattended participation. They have been extensively used in industry, agriculture, automobiles, robots and other fields in recent years. However, the performance of the controller cannot meet the work requirements under complex environmental conditions. Therefore, improving the control performance is one of the difficult problems that automated systems should solve. Sliding-mode variable structure control has the advantages of fast response, insensitivity to uncertainty and interference and easy implementation; thus, it has been extensively used in the field of complex control systems. This article analyses and explains the research status of motors, microgrids, switched systems, aviation guidance, robots, mechanical systems, automobiles and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and prospects for the application of sliding-mode variable structure control in complex ASs.</p> </abstract>

Information systems are currently used in all organizations due to their effectiveness in the implementation of administrative decisions. This study attempted to examine availability of information systems infrastructure, the impact of information systems on enhancing the procedures of the implementation of administrative decisions, and the obstacles that hinder the use of information systems to implement administrative decisions at Tabuk University in Saudi Arabia. In order to achieve these goals, the researcher used the descriptive analytical approach and used the questionnaire instrument in order to collect the data from the research sample. Population of the study comprised all the administrative employees at Tabuk University. The researcher distributed (325) questionnaires on the research sample and (252) questionnaires were put for study. The findings of the study showed that Tabuk University have a good infrastructure of information system that fit the work requirements and that help the employees to get accurate and timely reports. Also, the findings showed that the information systems have a robust role in enhancing the procedures of the implementation of the administrative decisions in terms of the availability of accurate, correct, and timely data to implement the administrative decisions properly. On the other hand, it was shown that there are obstacles for the use of information systems to implement administrative decisions such as the inappropriate organizational structures, lack of training, routine procedures, lack of funds to update the systems regularly, and employees&rsquo; resistance. Based on these results, the researcher recommended having a proper organizational structure that support information systems, holding regular training courses for the employees, motivating employees to avoid resistance, and ensuring the allocation of resources to get the new modern systems.

Abstract Since 2018, several states have proposed requiring work or other community engagement activities as a condition of receiving Medicaid; however, there has been little inquiry into the impact of such policies on Medicaid recipients over 50. Here, we describe the prevalence and burden of chronic disease among Medicaid beneficiaries over 50 who might be impacted by Medicaid work requirements. We used data from the 2016 wave of the Health and Retirement Study, a large-scale population-based study of adults aged &gt;50. Our sample included individuals over 50 who were not Medicare-eligible (&lt;65 years old) and not receiving Social Security Income. We used logistic regression models to compare those working &lt;20 hours per week (the minimal community engagement/work cutoff) to those working &gt;=20 hours per week, adjusting for age, race/ethnicity, sex, education, and marital status. Individuals working &lt;20 hours per week had greater prevalence of chronic health conditions, including greater odds of diabetes (OR: 2.06; 95% CI: 1.37-2.46), hypertension (OR:2.56; 95% CI: 1.69-3.89), arthritis (OR: 2.96; 95% CI: 2.06-4.62, and lung disease (OR: 4.11; 95% CI: 2.31-7.32). Further, among those with chronic health conditions, those working &lt;20 hours per week reported more, medication use, more worsening of their conditions in the past 2 years, and more hospitalization than their counterparts. Taken together, these finding suggest that Medicaid work requirements in this population would have the most impact on the most medically vulnerable individuals. Policymakers should consider this as they propose policies impacting Medicaid coverage in this population.

Abstract Following a geriatric interprofessional education event, we measured learner progression in interprofessional collaborative competencies using the Interprofessional Socialization and Valuing Scale (ISVS). We also measured student satisfaction with an investigator generated assessment tool. Through Rapid Cycle Quality Improvement (RCQI) processes, we implemented a number of variations of both the in-person and the virtual events. Variations included differences in case studies, pre work requirements, geriatric didactic topics, poster topics and presentation format, facilitator training, standardized patient or patient presence, huddle format, and demonstration of how to effectively perform teamwork. Results showed gains in interprofessional collaborative competencies between pre- and post-education using this geriatric simulation model. Learner satisfaction was high for all simulation variations. Results of education variations and comparisons of the delivery methods will be presented.

To address the problems of mismatch, poor flexibility and low accuracy of ordinary manipulators in the complex special deflagration work process, this paper proposes a new five-degree-of-freedom (5-DOF) folding deflagration manipulator. Firstly, the overall structure of the explosion-expulsion manipulator is introduced. The redundant degrees of freedom are formed by the parallel joint axes of the shoulder joint, elbow joint and wrist pitching joint, which increase the flexibility of the mechanism. Aiming at a complex system with multiple degrees of freedom and strong coupling of the manipulator, the virtual joint is introduced, the corresponding forward kinematics model is established by D–H method, and the inverse kinematics solution of the manipulator is derived by analytical method. In the MATLAB platform, the workspace of the manipulator is analyzed by Monte Carlo pseudo-random number method. The quintic polynomial interpolation method is used to simulate the deflagration task in joint space. Finally, the actual prototype experiment is carried out using the data obtained by simulation. The trajectory planning using the quintic polynomial interpolation method can ensure the smooth movement of the manipulator and high accuracy of operation. Furthermore, the trajectory is basically consistent with the simulation trajectory, which can realize the work requirements of putting the object into the explosion-proof tank. The new 5-DOF folding deflagration manipulator designed in this paper has stable motion and strong robustness, which can be used for deflagration during the COVID-19 epidemic.

Background: There are only a few national and international studies on the health of third-level professor lecturers at universities and colleges. Work-related diseases are important and relevant for occupational medicine. The aim of the study was to examine the mental health and work-related behavior and experience patterns of Ukrainian university lecturers in age group comparisons. Methods: Data were collected from 81 Ukrainian university lecturers (General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), Questionnaire on Work-Related Behavior and Experience Patterns (AVEM)). The university lecturers were split into 4 age groups. Results: 9.9% of higher education lecturers reported impaired mental health (GHQ-12). In all, 64.8% of the total sample showed AVEM risk patterns. There were differences in age groups (third age group scoring lower than the first age group on the GHQ total score). The first age group had significantly lower opinions of the subjective importance of work on their personal lives compared to the third and fourth age group, while the second age group had significantly lower opinions compared to the fourth age group. All individuals with impaired mental health in GHQ-12 had AVEM risk patterns. Conclusions: These results offer novel insights into the health of Ukrainian university lecturers. Occupational healthcare practitioners should take them into consideration in order to initiate appropriate interventions.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has substantially affected the lives of people around the world, especially after the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic in the second week of March 2020. The research and the clinical observations in this field show that, during the pandemic, many people display stress, anxiety or depression, which are fuelled by fear and the pathological worry of infection, of coming into contact with possibly contaminated objects or surfaces. It exacerbates the fear of strangers who might have an infection, the fear of socioeconomic consequences and the symptoms of the traumatic stress associated to the pandemic. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the medical population proved to be susceptible to burnout syndrome - physical and emotional exhaustion, poor performance, indecision, fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, depression, all due to the increased work requirements, prolonged work, frustration in case of failure to save the patients' lives, pandemic-related uncertainty, fear of getting sick and infecting the family members. The frontline workers may face additional stressors during the COVID-19 outbreak: stigmatization of those working with COVID-19 patients; strict bio-security measures; physical pressure by the protective equipment; physical isolation which makes it difficult to ensure the comfort of a sick or suffering person; constant awareness and vigilance; strict procedures to be followed in order to prevent spontaneity and autonomy.
