The organizational structure of long-term care (LTC) facilities often removes the rehab department from the interdisciplinary work culture, inhibiting the speech-language pathologist's (SLP's) communication with the facility administration and limiting the SLP's influence when implementing clinical programs. The SLP then is unable to change policy or monitor the actions of the care staff. When the SLP asks staff members to follow protocols not yet accepted by facility policy, staff may be unable to respond due to confusing or conflicting protocol. The SLP needs to involve members of the facility administration in the policy-making process in order to create successful clinical programs. The SLP must overcome communication barriers by understanding the needs of the administration to explain how staff compliance with clinical goals improves quality of care, regulatory compliance, and patient-family satisfaction, and has the potential to enhance revenue for the facility. By taking this approach, the SLP has a greater opportunity to increase safety, independence, and quality of life for patients who otherwise may not receive access to the appropriate services.

The objective of this paper is to find the relationship between family firms’ CSR engagement and their non-family member employees’ organisational identification. Drawing upon the existing literature on social identity theory, corporate social responsibility and family firms, the author proposes that family firms engage actively in CSR programs in a balanced manner to increase non-family member employees’ organisational identification. The findings of the research suggest that by developing and implementing balanced CSR programs, and actively getting engaged in CSR activities, family firms may help their non-family member employees better identify themselves with the firms. The article points out that due to unbalanced CSR resource allocation, family firms face the problem of inefficient CSR program implementation, and are suggested to switch alternatively to an improved scheme. Family firms may be advised to take corresponding steps to select right employees, communicate better with non-family member employees, use resources better and handle firms’ succession problems efficiently. The paper extends employees’ identification and CSR research into the family firm research domain and points out some drawbacks in family firms’ CSR resource allocation while formerly were seldom noticed.

Farmers participation is crucial for succeeding in the implementation of agricultural insurance in Indonesia. The purposes of this research are analyzing farmers' form and level of participation and also identifying some factors affecting farmer’s participation in agricultural insurance. The research was conducted in Curug Bitung Village, District of Nanggung, Bogor Regency involving 40 respondents. Primary data includes farmers characteristics, farmers participation form and farmers participation level as program beneficiaries. The data were processed using multivariable linear regression test. The results showed that the intensity of communication, age, education level, income level and length of stay did not significantly affect the participation level of farmers whose majority were at the level of no participation. Non-compliance occurs during program implementation. The form of participation shown by farmers in the program is varied.Keywords:  agricultural insurance, internal and external factors, farmers' participation ABSTRAK Partisipasi petani menjadi hal yang penting dalam rangka menyukseskan penerapan asuransi pertanian di Indonesia. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis bentuk dan tingkat partisipasi petani dalam asuransi pertanian serta mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi partisipasi petani dalam program asuransi pertanian.

The introduction of local programs for the rational use of antibiotics in a multidisciplinary hospital is aimed at reducing the level of antibiotic resistance and the frequency of healthcare associated infections (HAI). The aim of the study was to analyze the frequency of infectious complications caused by pathogens with multidrug resistance and the level of resistance at the B.V. Petrovsky National Research Center of Surgery based on the implementation of the SCAT program. Material and methods. A retrospective analysis of the SCAT program implementation results on the basis of the B.V. Petrovsky National Research Center of Surgery was carried out. 1850 case histories of the surgical profile for 2018 were analyzed (male —1095, average age 56.2±14.9 years; female — 755, average age 53.7±11.9 years) and 1502 case histories for the January–October period for 2019 (male — 1114, average age 58.3±12.1 years, and female — 388, average age 55.4±12.6 years). Results. The incidence of HAI in 2018 and 2019 was 354 and 159 cases, respectively. Of these, the incidence of nosocomial pneumonia (NP) was 64 cases (61.5%) and 40 cases (38.5%); skin and soft tissue infection (SSTI) — 93 cases (57.4%) and 69 cases (42.6%); surgical site infections (SSI) — 69 cases (82.1%) and 15 cases (17.9%) in 2018 and 2019, respectively. The drug resistance index (DRI) for the most clinically significant strains of the causative agents of HAI was: Klebsiella pneumoniae — 0.14, Acinetobacter baumannii — 0.22, Klebsiella spp. — 0.11, Enterobacter cloacae — 0.15, Enterococcus faecalis — 0.18, Enterococcus faecium — 0.21. Conclusion. The proposed measures for the implementation of the SCAT program at the level of a medical organization reduce the incidence of HAI and the local level of the drug resistance index.
