This research aims to investigate the quality implementation of financial reporting in Research Centre for Educational and Cultural Policies, Research and Development Agency, Ministry of Education and Culture, using CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model. Focus of the problem researched is how to evaluate the financial reporting in Research Centre for Educational and Cultural Policies, Research and Development Agency, Ministry of Education and Culture. The descriptive methodology was used with qualitative approach. Data collection techniques were interview and document review. Research results are as follows: (1) Context Aspect is conformity between purpose and target in financial reporting in Centre for Policy Research with Government Regulation No. 71 Year 2010 concerning Standard for Government Accounting for the interests of accountability, management, transparency, and performance evaluation; (2) Input Aspect is resource in financial reporting, including human resource and facilities and infrastructure (computer, internet network, and office facilities) which have been adequate to support timely financial reporting; (3) Process Aspect is in the process of financial reporting implementation in which the problems found are late BMN reporting, BMN recording which is not orderly administration, the lack of coordination and communication among planner, executor, and application operator, the role of leader which is is still inadequate, and SPI supervision which is not yet optimal; and (4) Product Aspect is financial statement in Research Centre for Educational and Cultural Policies which is relevant, reliable, and useful as source of information in management decision. Suggestions to be given are as follows: (1) Periodic coordination between stakeholders; (2) Intensive evaluation of employee performance in the process of financial reporting; (3) Suggesting SPI task as a supervisor in internal control as functional position; and (4) Recruiting more employees as administrator and operator in BMN applicatio

The Influence of Aging on Perceptual Grouping in Haptic Search

Perceptual grouping speeds up haptic search. This has particularly been shown for grouping of distractors by similarity and good continuation [1]. Here, we investigated the effect of aging on grouping in haptic search. We reasoned that because older adults have less cognitive resources available for processing perceptual information, they would benefit more from grouping as compared to younger adults. We tested this hypothesis in a haptic search task in which proximity, similarity and good continuation of the distractors were manipulated. We found that older adults indeed show a larger effect of distractor similarity on search times as compared to younger adults, where similar dis- tractors were processed faster than dissimilar distractors. However, older adults showed an opposite effect of grouping by proximity, where items that were further apart were processed faster. This may be caused by a strong bowed spatial position effect in older adults: stimuli that are closer to each other are more difficult to discriminate. We conclude that haptic perceptual grouping by similarity has larger benefits in elderly as compared to younger adults

HELIA - high energy linear induction accelerators

A novel approach to providing high voltage (>10 MV), high current (>200 kA), short duration (20-40 ns), particle beam pulses is described. The approach uses 1 MV Metglas isolated cavities driven by water pulse lines. These are stacked in series by using a magnetically insulated cathode stalk. Results from modeling of the cavity and cores and from a full sized single-cavity experiment are discussed. Plans for a four-cavity experiment to prove the principle of voltage addition by stacking cavities on a magnetically insulated transmission line are also described. The single-cavity experiments produced a 1.1 MV, 30 ns FWHM, 12 ns rise time, 250 kA electron beam. The HELIA pulsed power system and cavities are described. Particle-in-cell (PIC) computer simulations of the four-cavity experiment and the four-cavity conceptual design are discussed. 13 references, 14 figures

HETDEX Public Source Catalog 1: 220K Sources Including Over 50K Lyman Alpha Emitters from an Untargeted Wide-area Spectroscopic Survey

We present the first publicly released catalog of sources obtained from the Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX). HETDEX is an integral field spectroscopic survey designed to measure the Hubble expansion parameter and angular diameter distance at 1.88<z<3.52 by using the spatial distribution of more than a million Ly-alpha-emitting galaxies over a total target area of 540 deg^2. The catalog comes from contiguous fiber spectra coverage of 25 deg^2 of sky from January 2017 through June 2020, where object detection is performed through two complementary detection methods: one designed to search for line emission and the other a search for continuum emission. The HETDEX public release catalog is dominated by emission-line galaxies and includes 51,863 Ly{\alpha}-emitting galaxy (LAE) identifications and 123,891 OII-emitting galaxies at z<0.5. Also included in the catalog are 37,916 stars, 5274 low-redshift (z<0.5) galaxies without emission lines, and 4976 active galactic nuclei. The catalog provides sky coordinates, redshifts, line identifications, classification information, line fluxes, OII and Ly-alpha line luminosities where applicable, and spectra for all identified sources processed by the HETDEX detection pipeline. Extensive testing demonstrates that HETDEX redshifts agree to within deltaz < 0.02, 96.1% of the time to those in external spectroscopic catalogs. We measure the photometric counterpart fraction in deep ancillary Hyper Suprime-Cam imaging and find that only 55.5% of the LAE sample has an r-band continuum counterpart down to a limiting magnitude of r~26.2 mag (AB) indicating that an LAE search of similar sensitivity with photometric pre-selection would miss nearly half of the HETDEX LAE catalog sample. Data access and details about the catalog can be found online at http://hetdex.org/.Comment: 38 pages, 20 figures. Data access and details about the catalog can be found online at http://hetdex.org/.

High-resolution CT phenotypes in pulmonary sarcoidosis: a multinational Delphi consensus study

One view of sarcoidosis is that the term covers many different diseases. However, no classification framework exists for the future exploration of pathogenetic pathways, genetic or trigger predilections, patterns of lung function impairment, or treatment separations, or for the development of diagnostic algorithms or relevant outcome measures. We aimed to establish agreement on high-resolution CT (HRCT) phenotypic separations in sarcoidosis to anchor future CT research through a multinational two-round Delphi consensus process. Delphi participants included members of the Fleischner Society and the World Association of Sarcoidosis and other Granulomatous Disorders, as well as members' nominees. 146 individuals (98 chest physicians, 48 thoracic radiologists) from 28 countries took part, 144 of whom completed both Delphi rounds. After rating of 35 Delphi statements on a five-point Likert scale, consensus was achieved for 22 (63%) statements. There was 97% agreement on the existence of distinct HRCT phenotypes, with seven HRCT phenotypes that were categorised by participants as non-fibrotic or likely to be fibrotic. The international consensus reached in this Delphi exercise justifies the formulation of a CT classification as a basis for the possible definition of separate diseases. Further refinement of phenotypes with rapidly achievable CT studies is now needed to underpin the development of a formal classification of sarcoidosis

LEARN: A multi-centre, cross-sectional evaluation of Urology teaching in UK medical schools

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the status of UK undergraduate urology teaching against the British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS) Undergraduate Syllabus for Urology. Secondary objectives included evaluating the type and quantity of teaching provided, the reported performance rate of General Medical Council (GMC)-mandated urological procedures, and the proportion of undergraduates considering urology as a career. MATERIALS AND METHODS: LEARN was a national multicentre cross-sectional study. Year 2 to Year 5 medical students and FY1 doctors were invited to complete a survey between 3rd October and 20th December 2020, retrospectively assessing the urology teaching received to date. Results are reported according to the Checklist for Reporting Results of Internet E-Surveys (CHERRIES). RESULTS: 7,063/8,346 (84.6%) responses from all 39 UK medical schools were included; 1,127/7,063 (16.0%) were from Foundation Year (FY) 1 doctors, who reported that the most frequently taught topics in undergraduate training were on urinary tract infection (96.5%), acute kidney injury (95.9%) and haematuria (94.4%). The most infrequently taught topics were male urinary incontinence (59.4%), male infertility (52.4%) and erectile dysfunction (43.8%). Male and female catheterisation on patients as undergraduates was performed by 92.1% and 73.0% of FY1 doctors respectively, and 16.9% had considered a career in urology. Theory based teaching was mainly prevalent in the early years of medical school, with clinical skills teaching, and clinical placements in the later years of medical school. 20.1% of FY1 doctors reported no undergraduate clinical attachment in urology. CONCLUSION: LEARN is the largest ever evaluation of undergraduate urology teaching. In the UK, teaching seemed satisfactory as evaluated by the BAUS undergraduate syllabus. However, many students report having no clinical attachments in Urology and some newly qualified doctors report never having inserted a catheter, which is a GMC mandated requirement. We recommend a greater emphasis on undergraduate clinical exposure to urology and stricter adherence to GMC mandated procedures

The global burden of adolescent and young adult cancer in 2019 : a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019

Background In estimating the global burden of cancer, adolescents and young adults with cancer are often overlooked, despite being a distinct subgroup with unique epidemiology, clinical care needs, and societal impact. Comprehensive estimates of the global cancer burden in adolescents and young adults (aged 15-39 years) are lacking. To address this gap, we analysed results from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019, with a focus on the outcome of disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), to inform global cancer control measures in adolescents and young adults. Methods Using the GBD 2019 methodology, international mortality data were collected from vital registration systems, verbal autopsies, and population-based cancer registry inputs modelled with mortality-to-incidence ratios (MIRs). Incidence was computed with mortality estimates and corresponding MIRs. Prevalence estimates were calculated using modelled survival and multiplied by disability weights to obtain years lived with disability (YLDs). Years of life lost (YLLs) were calculated as age-specific cancer deaths multiplied by the standard life expectancy at the age of death. The main outcome was DALYs (the sum of YLLs and YLDs). Estimates were presented globally and by Socio-demographic Index (SDI) quintiles (countries ranked and divided into five equal SDI groups), and all estimates were presented with corresponding 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs). For this analysis, we used the age range of 15-39 years to define adolescents and young adults. Findings There were 1.19 million (95% UI 1.11-1.28) incident cancer cases and 396 000 (370 000-425 000) deaths due to cancer among people aged 15-39 years worldwide in 2019. The highest age-standardised incidence rates occurred in high SDI (59.6 [54.5-65.7] per 100 000 person-years) and high-middle SDI countries (53.2 [48.8-57.9] per 100 000 person-years), while the highest age-standardised mortality rates were in low-middle SDI (14.2 [12.9-15.6] per 100 000 person-years) and middle SDI (13.6 [12.6-14.8] per 100 000 person-years) countries. In 2019, adolescent and young adult cancers contributed 23.5 million (21.9-25.2) DALYs to the global burden of disease, of which 2.7% (1.9-3.6) came from YLDs and 97.3% (96.4-98.1) from YLLs. Cancer was the fourth leading cause of death and tenth leading cause of DALYs in adolescents and young adults globally. Interpretation Adolescent and young adult cancers contributed substantially to the overall adolescent and young adult disease burden globally in 2019. These results provide new insights into the distribution and magnitude of the adolescent and young adult cancer burden around the world. With notable differences observed across SDI settings, these estimates can inform global and country-level cancer control efforts. Copyright (C) 2021 The Author(s).
