The essence and problems of the motivation system at the stage of formation of modern specialists of humane professions

Annotation. The article is devoted to the problems of motivation of modern specialists of humane professions at the stage of their formation. The most humane profession of humanity is the profession of a doctor. Therefore, the purpose of the article was to study the essence of motivation of medical staff of medical institutions of Ukraine, to determine the problem of managing the system of incentive of medical staff, to generalize and systematize the stages of designing stimulation of medical workers of medical institutions. Materials and methods of research were the analysis of domestic and foreign scientific sources, logical-theoretical procedure; method of system analysis and union; method of generalization (to study the quality of work of medical staff and identify problematic aspects of increasing work motivation). An anonymous survey on the motivation of professional activity of medical workers according to the method of K. Zamfir in the modification of A. Rean and a study on the practice of A. Leonov, S. Velichkovska on the differential assessment of the reduced working capacity of medical workers. Thus, the essence of motivation of medical staff of medical institutions of Ukraine was investigating, problems of management of system of inducement of medical staff are defined, stages of designing of stimulation of medical staff of medical institutions are generalized and systematized. To ensure quality management of motivation of medical staff of the medical institution, the manager must identify and eliminate the causes that negatively affect the reduction of stimulation for successful activities of medical staff and make timely and informed management decisions.

Evaluation of the Influence of the Level of Corrosion of the Reinforcing Steel in the Moment-Curvature Diagrams of Rectangular Concrete Columns

In the present work, it is proposed to include in the theoretical curves of moment-curvature (m- φ) the effect of corrosion by obtaining the decrease in the area of longitudinal reinforcing steel. The corrosion depth will be obtained from the crack width and corrosion length observed in the cover concrete. With the depth of corrosion, the area of steel that is lost will be obtained and this modification will be incorporated into the theoretical procedure to elaborate the m- φ curves. The forces of the steel will be obtained from an elastoplastic model with curved hardening and the forces of the concrete with a model that considers the effect of confinement.

Neural network interpretation using descrambler groups

The lack of interpretability and trust is a much-criticized feature of deep neural networks. In fully connected nets, the signaling between inner layers is scrambled because backpropagation training does not require perceptrons to be arranged in any particular order. The result is a black box; this problem is particularly severe in scientific computing and digital signal processing (DSP), where neural nets perform abstract mathematical transformations that do not reduce to features or concepts. We present here a group-theoretical procedure that attempts to bring inner-layer signaling into a human-readable form, the assumption being that this form exists and has identifiable and quantifiable features—for example, smoothness or locality. We applied the proposed method to DEERNet (a DSP network used in electron spin resonance) and managed to descramble it. We found considerable internal sophistication: the network spontaneously invents a bandpass filter, a notch filter, a frequency axis rescaling transformation, frequency-division multiplexing, group embedding, spectral filtering regularization, and a map from harmonic functions into Chebyshev polynomials—in 10 min of unattended training from a random initial guess.

O Acorde Conceitual do Nazismo: Considerações sobre o conceito de nazismo a partir de uma metáfora musical

All fields of knowledge need concepts, which have been well studied in the most diverse disciplines. In this article, we intend to expose the possibility of approaching the construction and understanding of concepts (in all fields of study) associating this with a musical notion — the ‘chord’. The universe experienced for this possibility will be that of the concept of Nazism. We intend to apply the conceptual chord form to the study of a set of minimum characteristics that could configure an adequate concept of Nazism. The objective is to demonstrate, from this example, that this theoretical procedure is also viable for the study of other objects, in the various fields of research.

Plasticity of Contemporary Racism: Functionalist Orientation Anomalies and Emergence of Social Conflict Theory

During the last century, sociological functionalism has been a sociological dominant interpretation. This trend has also developed within anthropology, biology, and the social sciences in general. Since the first evolutionary considerations, social interaction has been commonly interpreted from functional premises. In this way, racism as a social aversion has been seen as a consequence of the natural functioning of human societies. The present study contrasts the functionalist vision with the social conflict approach to evaluate each theoretical procedure. The research conclusions suggest that social conflict is capable of offering successful results on the nature of contemporary racism. However, there is currently a lack of research on the appropriateness of each of the approaches. The present work suggests to continue research of each orientation and particularly the use of social conflict as an analytical orientation.

Six Sigma quality evaluation of life test data based on Weibull distribution

PurposeWhile Six Sigma metrics have been studied by researchers in detail for normal distribution-based data, in this paper, we have attempted to study the Six Sigma metrics for two-parameter Weibull distribution that is useful in many life test data analyses.Design/methodology/approachIn the theory of Six Sigma, most of the processes are assumed normal and Six Sigma metrics are determined for such a process of interest. In reliability studies non-normal distributions are more appropriate for life tests. In this paper, a theoretical procedure is developed for determining Six Sigma metrics when the underlying process follows two-parameter Weibull distribution. Numerical evaluations are also considered to study the proposed method.FindingsIn this paper, by matching the probabilities under different normal process-based sigma quality levels (SQLs), we first determined the Six Sigma specification limits (Lower and Upper Six Sigma Limits- LSSL and USSL) for the two-parameter Weibull distribution by setting different values for the shape parameter and the scaling parameter. Then, the lower SQL (LSQL) and upper SQL (USQL) values are obtained for the Weibull distribution with centered and shifted cases. We presented numerical results for Six Sigma metrics of Weibull distribution with different parameter settings. We also simulated a set of 1,000 values from this Weibull distribution for both centered and shifted cases to evaluate the Six Sigma performance metrics. It is found that the SQLs under two-parameter Weibull distribution are slightly lesser than those when the process is assumed normal.Originality/valueThe theoretical approach proposed for determining Six Sigma metrics for Weibull distribution is new to the Six Sigma Quality practitioners who commonly deal with normal process or normal approximation to non-normal processes. The procedure developed here is, in fact, used to first determine LSSL and USSL followed by which LSQL and USQL are obtained. This in turn has helped to compute the Six Sigma metrics such as defects per million opportunities (DPMOs) and the parts that are extremely good per million opportunities (EGPMOs) under two-parameter Weibull distribution for lower-the-better (LTB) and higher-the-better (HTB) quality characteristics. We believe that this approach is quite new to the practitioners, and it is not only useful to the practitioners but will also serve to motivate the researchers to do more work in this field of research.

SOIL WATER CHARCTERISTIC CURVES OF BENTONITES IN ISOCHORIC CONDITIONS DURING WETTING: MEASUREMENT AND PREDICTION

Determination of soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) of compacted bentonites in the isochoric condition is a prerequisite for unsaturated flow simulations in several geoenvironmental applications. The SWCC data are, however, not readily available for many compacted bentonites over a wide suction range due to difficulties associated with the testing. In this work, wetting SWCCs of four Indian bentonites of different plasticity were established experimentally at compaction dry densities of 1.4, 1.6, and 1.8 Mg/m3 in isochoric conditions using two independent laboratory techniques in different suction ranges. The modified Kovács (MK) model was extended to simulate the SWCC data of the Indian bentonites. Empirical relationships between MK model parameters and compaction dry density for these bentonites were obtained. A theoretical procedure for the estimation of SWCCs of the compacted bentonites based on the basic bentonite properties and proposed correlations was validated on the available wetting SWCC data of compacted GMZ, MX80, and FEBEX bentonites from the literature studies. The proposed model is useful for predicting the the SWCCs of bentonites from basic clay properties in the absence of measured data and in understanding the influence of dry density and plasticity on SWCC.

On the Ehrenfest Paradox in the Bohr Atomic Model toward the Quantization of Gravitation

Ehrenfest Paradox has been studied in the Bohr Atomic Model as the theoretical procedure such a way that we can express the coordinate curvature i.e. gravitational aspect in the electromagnetic coupling constant. The strength of the curvature depends on the principal quantum number which shows that the value of curvature is quantized. For , the value is . The curvature value in the Bohr atomic model can be a standard to measure how strong the curvature of all system are, by comparing them with this value. We also get the understanding that the change of the curvature will manifest the curvature propagation in the form of quantum energy, i.e. . This theory can be considered to enlarge the unification theory between quantum and gravitation. Another consequence of this theory is the quantization of Equivalence Principle.

Invariant Patterns for Replicator Dynamics on a Hexagonal Lattice

A hexagonal lattice is a promising and plausible spatial platform for economic agglomeration in spatial economic models. This paper aims at the elucidation of agglomeration mechanisms for the replicator dynamics on this lattice. Attention is paid to the existence of invariant solutions that retain their spatial patterns when the bifurcation parameter changes. Such existence is a special feature of the replicator dynamics, which is widely used in economics. A theoretical procedure to find invariant patterns is proposed and possible invariant patterns are advanced and classified. Among a plethora of theoretically possible invariant patterns, those which actually become stable for a spatial economic model are investigated numerically. The major finding of this paper, is the demonstration of equilibrium curves of invariant patterns that are connected by those of noninvariant ones to form a complicated mesh-like structure, just like the threads of warp and weft. It would be an important scientific mission to elucidate the mechanism of this complicated structure, and contribute to the study in economic geography.
