Over the past ten years, the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) Human Research and Engineering Directorate (HRED) has developed tools and techniques to support Manpower and Personnel Integration (MANPRINT). Most notably, a set of tools was developed in the DOS environment that has become known as the Hardware vs. Manpower (HARDMAN) III tools. These software tools provide an analytical basis to address the ways in which the Army's manpower, personnel, and training elements are affected by a new system. During the last two years, ARL HRED has begun an effort to improve the capabilities of this tool set by moving them into the MicroSoft Windows™ environment. This paper describes the process through which this complex DOS tool set was redesigned to provide a better functional capability as well as to take advantage of the graphical user interface provided by this environment.

Abstract High work consumption in forest operations is above all the result of the character and task realization mode in works undertaken in forestry. Development of mechanization in forest management activities allows to considerably decrease manpower needs. In the present study, there were analyzed the possibilities of reduction of work consumption by improving the mechanization level of forest works. The method was developed to consider the following assessments: 1) variant W1 - basic option comprising factual work consumption values in works carried out on the area administered by the Regional Directorate of State Forests (RDLP); 2) W2 - showing the effect of 25% upgrade of works to a higher level of mechanization; 3) W3 - showing the effect of 50% upgrade of works to a higher level of mechanization; 4) W4 - comprising analogous calculations to those in variant W1 , but work consumption upgrading was 75%. Simulation calculations revealed considerable differences in needs for labor of different categories of forest workers. On the other hand, with increasing mechanization level, there increase the demands concerning worker qualifications, e.g. a harvester operator must be trained for about 2 years, and the training has to include both simulator exercises (first using software and next - harvester simulator) and field work under supervision to gain sufficient experience. The introduction of higher levels of mechanization into forest operations, and hence considerable reduction of jobs for unqualified workers who are replaced by qualified employees, can help decreasing work consumption in forest operations.

The monitoring of drug safety is a crucial element for the effective use of medicines to maintain high-quality medical care. The aim of this study was to analyze the adverse drug reactions (ADRs) as well as improve drug safety through pharmacovigilance (PV) in Bangladesh. The research work was conducted on the basis of a questionnaire by taking interviews of targeted stakeholders including academicians, doctors, pharmacists, manufacturers of drugs and directorate general of drug administration (DGDA) personnel. The study was conducted on 496 participants at Dhaka Metropolitan Dhaka, Rajshahi and Khulna Divisions from July 2015 to June 2018. Outcomes showed that among the interviewed populations 23% were female and 77% were male. Among participants, 66.9% of the interviewee was postgraduate degree holders. 62.7% respondents were familiar with the word element PV and 37.3% were ignorant of it. The major problem of DGDA to spreading the knowledge of PV was less manpower (73.9%). Among the factors that must be stopped to avoid the ADRs were the unethical practice of the healthcare professionals (50%). The topmost prioritized component was an education for knowledge (71.4%). It was found that many of the facilities for adverse drug reaction monitoring (ADRM) were absent in Bangladesh. The manpower and strength of DGDA must be increased to perform adequate monitoring and control as per the need of the country. We recapitulate that more research and development programs on PV activities in the country to improve the quality healthcare services is needed.

Value addition in agriculture predominantly offers a means to increase, rejuvenate and stabilize farm income. Value-added agriculture is fundamentally market-driven. It needs trained and skilled manpower to cope with the demand of rapidly changing markets. The present study was conducted in Haryana state and two districts Hisar from southwest and Sonipat from northeast were selected, purposively. From each district, three blocks were selected randomly. Further, three villages were selected from each block making a total of 18 villages. From each village, ten farmers were selected randomly, making a total sample of 180 farmers. It was found that majority of the respondents were interested in taking training of ‘Farm level packaging and storage’, ‘Development of commercial horticultural nursery for fruit trees and vegetables crops’, ‘Processing and value addition’ and ‘Packaging of nursery plants’. DAE (Directorate of Agriculture Extension) should arrange training programmes based on the necessity of the farmers. Otherwise, it will not bring any positive outcome in the crop production systems of Haryana.

Full textAbstract:
It was observed that around 1300000 Crop Cutting Experiments (CCE) were conducted in India every year to find out the crop yield estimates of several major and minor crops under General Crop Estimation Surveys (GCES). Due to shortage of manpower and huge bulk of work day by day the data quality is becoming questionable. To tackle this problem, a pilot study was conducted by ICAR-IASRI, New Delhi sponsored by Directorate of Economics and Statistics (DES), Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare (MoA & FW), Govt. of India to generate district level estimates of major crop yield from a reduced sample size of villages selected from the states. With the reduction in number of villages, the problem of no sample size in some districts were faced during the study where common design based estimates of crop yield cannot be generated. To tackle this problem Aggregate level Small Area Estimation (SAE) was used to tackle this problem. The results obtained from this study in the state of Uttar Pradesh for two major crops, i.e. rice and wheat for two seasons, i.e. kharif and rabi of Agriculture Year 2015-16 and for paddy in Assam for kharif of the Agriculture Year (AY) 2015-16 in India were discussed. The yield estimates were compared with the estimates released under GCES for AY 2015-16. It was found that the estimates obtained from reduced sample size of number of CCEs w.r.t. GCES, produced similar estimates with acceptable level of precision.

Background The Egypt National Disease Surveillance is a routine system established in 2002. The system electronically reports on 41 infectious diseases including COVID-19. Reporting sites include all Egyptian governorates, districts, governmental infectious disease hospitals, and primary health units. Surveillance is essential during the pandemic to detect cases early, describe the epidemiology of health problems, guide priority setting, and plan and evaluate public health policy and strategies. Objective This study aims to evaluate the surveillance system during the pandemic to assess its effectiveness in achieving its objectives and to find and fill the gaps. Methods The evaluation was performed using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. A structured questionnaire was used to evaluate the qualitative attributes including simplicity, flexibility, and acceptability through interviewing surveillance teams at the central level, health directorate, and Sahel district. Quantitative attributes, including completeness, timeliness, and predictive positive value, were performed using COVID-19 surveillance data of Sahel district in March-December 2020. Data were assessed for completeness and accuracy. The usefulness of surveillance was assessed in terms of achieving its objectives and use of data. Results Of 33 respondents, 90% thought that the system was simple, and 77% thought it was acceptable; work overload reduced the acceptability rate. The system is funded by the Ministry of Health and Population and was operational 53% of the time due to connectivity problems. The system was flexible when adapting to include COVID-19 in a short time with minimal cost. It is quite representative, as it covers 60% of the population. Completeness was 82%, positive value predictive was 58%, and data validity was 86%. The median duration between patient admissions and reporting was 2.7 days. Conclusions The evaluation of the Egypt COVID-19 surveillance system indicated that the system partly achieved its objectives in the area of simplicity and flexibility with adequate data quality. There is a need to improve acceptability and timeliness through increasing manpower and to enhance stability through effective connectivity. Expansion of the system to cover all of the Egyptian population is recommended to improve representativeness.

The main objective of the study was to examine the moral decadence as a potential predictor of students’ academic performance in some selected senior high schools in the Kumasi Metropolis. Descriptive survey design was used for the study. A multistage sampling procedures namely purposive sampling, proportional sampling and simple random sampling procedures were used in the selection of the sample. A total of 338 respondents were drawn from three senior high schools in the Kumasi Metropolis. Exploratory factor analysis was done to validate the instrument as well as simple linear regression was used to test the hypothesis. Through principal component analysis (PCA), the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin yielded a value of .636, exceeding the recommended value of .6 and Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity reached statistical significance χ2(78) =360.171, p = .000), supporting the factorability of the correlation matrix. The pattern structure and the commonalities results were both inspected. Items that had loadings below 0.30 on the pattern matrix as well as the unrotated loadings of the items were deleted. The outcome of the analysis showed that two items had factor loadings below 0.30. Therefore, those items were discarded. The remaining eleven items were retained because they were all above 0.30. The results again, revealed that moral decadence was not a potential predictor of student academic performance in the Kumasi Metropolis, B = -.395, SE = .299, t = -1.322, BootCI (-.984, .193) (see Table 5). This outcome suggests that students who do not exhibit moral decadence in their schools would have higher chances of experiencing higher academic performance. The study recommends that educational directorates and head teachers need to strengthen counseling services for students in senior high schools. This may go a long way to prevent a situation whereby the country could lose most of its manpower in the near future, as moral decadence could compel some of the students to become dropouts and drug addicts.

Full textAbstract:
BACKGROUND: During the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, if it is considered that educated manpower is the most valuable resource of countries, it can be thought that various policies should be developed both at the macro- and micro-levels to minimize the loss of healthcare employees. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to determine the effects of the corporate policies for COVID-19 on the work stress and anxiety of healthcare employees. METHOD: The sample of the study consists of 136 of 265 healthcare employees in Sakarya Provincial Health Directorate Emergency Health Services in Turkey. The average age of the participants was 34.43 years old; the average duration of professional experience was 12.12 years. Approximately 61% of the participants are male and 51% have a bachelor’s degree or higher level. A questionnaire form was used in the study as the data collection tool consisting of socio-demographic characteristics, institutional policies on COVID-19, work stress, and the Status Anxiety Scale. Process Macro Model 4, descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were used for the data analysis. RESULTS: According to the results of the study, the corporate policies for COVID-19 perception of participants was above average (3.30±0.82) while work stress (2.99±0.88) and anxiety (2.65±0.56) were below average. The corporate policies for COVID-19 perception of participants reduced their work stress (β= – 0.430) and anxiety (β= – 0.361). Additionally, anxiety played a mediating role in the effect of the corporate policies for COVID-19 perception on work stress, and it further raised the impact of corporate policies for COVID-19 perception on the work stress reduction (β= – 0.169). CONCLUSIONS: During the COVID-19 pandemic, health managers should determine and control the anxiety and stress levels of the health employees on their staff and take a number of steps to reduce their anxiety and stress.
