Employability skills of graduates:Insights from job advertisements

[EN] This paper examines online job advertisements to identify the type of skills and other attributes required for higher education graduates in European countries. The data were collected from European job websites in 2019 (n=1,752) for any country and occupation having a job offer requiring higher education. The empirical analysis starts with a fuzzy clustering to identify typical skill patterns required by employers. Six clusters emerge from the data; five can be labelled as adaptability skills, foreign languages, specific skills, work attributes, and managing skills. The remaining one is referred to as null cluster with no distinctive required skill. Subsequently, we examine the occupation and employment conditions associated with each fuzzy cluster. Despite the demand for graduates, the service and sales related occupations prevail in the null cluster. In other five well-defined clusters we find a mix of skills of some high-qualified occupations, and search for specific skills acquired through work experience.The findings raise the question about the assignment of graduates in less qualified occupations.Suleman, F.; Suleman, A.; Cunha, F.

Analisis Laju Sedimentasi Pada Saluran Irigasi Daerah Irigasi Sanrego Kecamatan Kahu Kabupaten Bone Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan

Sanrego river located in the village Sanrego, District Kahu, Bone regency, South Sulawesi Province. This river has an important role to people's lives. In addition to functioning whether as a container supporting agriculture as well as one of the tourist place. But lately, frequently flooding during the rainy season. This happens due to a buildup of sediment in the irrigation channels at certain points. Namely on the primary channel, secondary channel, and tertiary. It has an impact on the performance of waterworks itself. This research aims to determine the amount of sediment (sediment-rate) that occurs on the channel point to review and to provide an overview and explanation of the value of the correlation coefficient (R) is based on the relationship between sediment discharge (QS) with water discharge (QW). This Research conducted by measuring directly on location by measuring the water level in each cross section of the channel and water sampling to test concentrations in the sediment. The results of research showed that the rate of sediment on the Primary Channel of Sanrego was 4,253 kg/day, Secondary Channel of Batu-Batu was 0,0593 kg/day, Tertiary Channel of Palakka 1 was 0,0403 kg/day, Palakka Tertiary Channel 2 is 0,0155 kg/day, Tertiary Channel of Batu-Batu 1 was 0,000578 kg/day, Tertiary Channel of Batu-Batu 2 was 0,0199 kg/day, with an average correlation coefficient (R) of 0,960, it shows the relationship between sediment discharge (QS) with water discharge (QW) has a positive direct perfect connection, which is between 0,6 < R <1,0. While on the secondary channel Palakka of 1,218 kg/day, with a correlation coefficient (R) of 0,210, this shows the relationship of sediment discharge (QS) and water discharge (QW) has a direct positive relationship is weak, that is between 0 < R < 0,6

Development of a pharmacoeconomic model to compare the cost-effectiveness of low versus high dose colistin in the treatment of nosocomial pneumonia caused by Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR) Gram negative bacteria in Saudi Arabia.

Masters Degree. University of KwaZulu-Natal, Westville.Introduction The emergence of multi-drug resistant bacteria has led to higher treatment failure and a subsequent increase in patient mortality. Limited treatment options are available for Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) that are resistant to carbapenam antibiotics. Colistin is considered as the last resort treatment options for the carbapenamase producing GNB, though occasional reports of colistin resistance has been noted in the literature. Available studies show efficacy with both doses and with variable levels of adverse effects. In the absence of consensus regarding a dosing strategy for colistin, a model comparing low and high dose colistin in the treatment of nosocomial pneumonia will serve as a useful tool in decision making. Methods A decision–analytic model using data obtained from a retrospective review of patients treated for nosocomial pneumonia at King Abdulaziz Hospital, Saudi Arabia, was developed to compare the costs and outcomes of low dose versus high dose colistin in the treatment of nosocomial pneumonia caused by colistin-only sensitive bacteria. Outcome measures used in the analysis were length of antibiotics use, length of hospital stay, cure and nephrotoxicity in order to calculate the mean total cost of treatment, incremental costs, cost effectiveness ratios and incremental cost effectiveness ratios. Results There was a total of 171 patients that received colistin during the study period of which 96 met the inclusion criteria. Of the remaining patients 33 received high dose and 63 received low dose colistin. Low dose colistin was associated with a non-significant 9% lower cure rate than high dose colistin (21% vs 30%, respectively; p=0.292). Low dose colistin was associated with a 22% lower incidence of nephrotoxicity than HDC (30% vs 8%, respectively) which was found to be significant (p=0.004), respectively. Low dose colistin was associated with similar cure rates and greater cost savings resulting from nephrotoxicity being avoided compared to high dose colistin (ICER = -SAR 13, 894.66 per nephrotoxicity avoided). Conclusion Low dose colistin was not inferior to high dose colistin in terms of clinical cure and had a lower incidence of nephrotoxicity resulting in significant cost avoidance. The cost–benefit profile suggests that low dose colistin could be considered a more cost-effective option than high dose colistin in the treatment of patients with pneumonia caused by MDR-GNB in Saudi Arabia. King Abdulaziz Hospital should adopt the low dose colistin strategy for treatment of nosocomial pneumonia caused by colistin-only sensitive gram negative bacteria while taking cognizance of local resistance patterns

Penghulu dan Angka Kreditnya dalam Pencatatan Isbat Nikah di Kantor Urusan Agama Kecamatan Ranowulu

Tulisan ini mengkaji tentang penghulu, angka kredit serta problematikanya di Kantor Urusan Agama (KUA) Kecamatan Ranowulu, Kota Bitung. Kecukupan angka kredit menjadi salah satu syarat mutlak dalam kenaikan pangkat dan jabatan dari penghulu bersangkutan. Sandaran aturan yang menjadi rujukan dalam pelaksanaan tugasnya mengacu pada Peraturan Menteri Pendayagunaan Aparatur Negara dan Reformasi Birokrasi (Permenpan-RB) Nomor 9 Tahun 2019 tentang Jabatan Fungsional Penghulu. Salah satu kegiatan yang diharapkan mampu mengumpulkan puing-puing angka kredit adalah melalui pencatatan pernikahan hasil isbat nikah dari Pengadilan Agama. Padahal di tengah-tengah kehidupan masyarakat muslim masih cukup banyak ditemukan peristiwa pernikahan yang hanya memperhatikan keabsahaan dari aspek keagamaan saja tanpa memperhatikan amanat Pasal 2 ayat 2 dari UU Perkawinan. Bila syarat dan rukun nikah telah terpenuhi maka mereka merasa cukup. Ini terbukti masih banyaknya permohonan pencatatan isbat nikah yang diajukan ke KUA. Tentu hal itu harus dianalisa kembali agar semua pihak dapat memahaminya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tugas penghulu dan angka kreditnya dalam pencatatan isbat nikah. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian normatif yuridis dengan sifat penelitian adalah deskriptif analitis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pencatatan pernikahan melalui isbat nikah tidak termaktub dalam Permenpan-RB di atas. Oleh sebab itu, pencatatan isbat nikah di KUA dianggap tidak lebih hanya sebagai kebijakan untuk membantu pihak Pengadilan Agama dan masyarakat yang berkepentingan agar legalitas perkawinan mereka dilindungi oleh negara, tanpa melihat kepangkatan dari penghulu yang tidak memiliki tugas tambahan
