KYBERNOLOGY AS AN ALTERNATIVE PERSPECTIVE IN GOVERNMENTAL SCIENCE FROM THE GLOBAL SOUTH: A CRITICAL COMPARISON WITH GOVERNANCE THEORY

Based on the fairness theory, this paper takes perceived fairness as an intermediary variable to study the impact of online service recovery on customer satisfaction and repurchase intention. In the research process, the service recovery is divided into three dimensions of material recovery, spiritual recovery and positive responsiveness, and the perceived fairness is divided into three dimensions of distributive fairness, procedure fairness and interaction fairness. The corresponding scales are designed for questionnaire survey and data analysis, it can explore the impact of perceived fairness as a mediating variable on service recovery and customer satisfaction; the impact of perceived fairness as a mediating variable on service recovery and repurchase intention; and the impact of customer satisfaction on repurchase intention. Finally, the following findings and conclusions are drawn: material recovery and spiritual recovery positively affect distributive, procedural and interactive fairness, while positive responsiveness has no significant impact on distributive fairness, and only positively affects procedural fairness and interactive fairness; distributive, procedural and interactive fairness are equally positively affects customer satisfaction, but has no significant effect on repurchase intention ; customer satisfaction positively affects repurchase intention. Based on the above conclusions, enterprises can increase their emphasis on service recovery, and at the same time pay attention to the fairness of service recovery, treat all consumers fairly, formulate a recovery plan that satisfies consumers for them to choose, increase customer satisfaction, and increase repurchases ratio, thereby improving corporate performance.

IntroductionThe United Kingdom (UK) government's healthcare policy in the early 1990s paved the way adoption of the skills mix development and implementation of diagnostic radiographers' X-ray reporting service. Current clinical practice within the public UK healthcare system reflects the same pressures of increased demand in patient imaging and limited capacity of the reporting workforce (radiographers and radiologists) as in the 1990s. This study aimed to identify, define and assess the longitudinal macro, meso, and micro barriers and enablers to the implementation of the diagnostic radiographer musculoskeletal X-ray reporting service in the National Healthcare System (NHS) in England.MethodsMultiple independent databases were searched, including PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE; Embase; CINAHL, and Google Scholar, as well as journal databases (Scopus, Wiley), healthcare databases (NHS Evidence Database; Cochrane Library) and grey literature databases (OpenGrey, GreyNet International, and the British Library EthOS depository) and recorded in a PRISMA flow chart. A combination of keywords, Boolean logic, truncation, parentheses and wildcards with inclusion/exclusion criteria and a time frame of 1995–2022 was applied. The literature was assessed against Joanna Briggs Institute's critical appraisal checklists. With meta-aggregation to synthesize each paper, and coded using NVivo, with context grouped into macro, meso, and micro-level sources and categorised into subgroups of enablers and barriers.ResultsThe wide and diverse range of data (n = 241 papers) identified barriers and enablers of implementation, which were categorised into measures of macro, meso, and micro levels, and thematic categories of context, culture, environment, and leadership.ConclusionThe literature since 1995 has reframed the debates on implementation of the radiographer reporting role and has been instrumental in shaping clinical practice. There has been clear influence upon both meso (professional body) and macro-level (governmental/health service) policies and guidance, that have shaped change at micro-level NHS Trust organisations. There is evidence of a shift in culturally intrenched legacy perspectives within and between different meso-level professional bodies around skills mix acceptance and role boundaries. This has helped shape capacity building of the reporting workforce. All of which have contributed to conceptual understandings of the skills mix workforce within modern radiology services.

This study reviews conflict research in public administration. It categorizes the literature into micro, meso, and macro levels, examining conflict conceptualization, antecedents, and consequences. Findings include: (1) meso-level conflict is the primary focus; (2) conflict is conceptualized in various ways, including intensity, dimension, type, and dynamic approaches, with micro- and macro-level studies mainly adopting the intensity approach, while meso-level studies are more diverse; (3) antecedent analysis emphasizes contextual, interpersonal, and actor characteristics, focusing on actor and contextual factors at the micro level, belief differences at the meso level, and context at the macro level; (4) consequence analysis examines value-related, behavioral, and transformational consequences of conflict. When examining value-related consequences, studies across levels generally reports negative outcomes. Regarding behavioral consequences, micro-level studies focus on conflict and knowledge use, while meso- and macro-level studies cover broader topics. Few studies address conflict’s transformational consequences.

A scoping review into the explanations for differences in the degrees of shared decision making experienced by patients

In contrast to the idea of "reclaiming the state", this paper presents the idea of "reclaiming the government" for the sovereignty of the people. There are two reasons that hit it. First, the scarcity of "government theory" in governmental science and study. Various theories and studies (sociology, economics, politics, law, administration, management) place government as an object, without forming the whole theory of government. Second, the practices of governance without government. Although Indonesia formally has a government, it is not a government in the true sense of the principles of republicanism and constitutionalism. So to uphold the people's sovereignty, it is important to reclaim the government from bureaucracy, technocracy, development, and markets. This can be done with thought dan struggle. Governmental science can contribute by making endogenous government theories (institutions, political-economy, and governmentality) and use that theory to study government, human phenomena, and people's interests.

Indirect treatment comparisons and biologics

Context: The inclusion of grey literature (GL) is important to remove publication bias while gathering available evidence regarding a certain topic. The number of systematic literature reviews (SLRs) in Software Engineering (SE) is increasing but we do not know about the extent of GL usage in these SLRs. Moreover, Google Scholar is rapidly becoming a search engine of choice for many researchers but the extent to which it can find the primary studies is not known. Objective: This tertiary study is an attempt to i) measure the usage of GL in SLRs in SE. Furthermore this study proposes strategies for categorizing GL and a quality checklist to use for GL in future SLRs; ii) explore if it is feasible to use only Google Scholar for finding scholarly articles for academic research. Method: We have conducted a systematic mapping study to measure the extent of GL usage in SE SLRs as well as to measure the feasibility of finding primary studies using Google Scholar. Results and conclusions: a) Grey Literature: 76.09% SLRs (105 out of 138) in SE have included one or more GL studies as primary studies. Among total primary studies across all SLRs (6307), 582 are classified as GL, making the frequency of GL citing as 9.23%. The intensity of GL use indicate that each SLR contains 5 primary studies on average (total intensity of GL use being 5.54). The ranking of GL tells us that conference papers are the most used form 43.3% followed by technical reports 28.52%. Universities, research institutes, labs and scientific societies together make up 67.7% of GL used, indicating that these are useful sources for searching GL. We additionally propose strategies for categorizing GL and criteria for evaluating GL quality, which can become a basis for more detailed guidelines for including GL in future SLRs. b) Google Scholar Results: The results show that Google Scholar was able to retrieve 96% of primary studies of these SLRs. Most of the primary studies that were not found using Google Scholar were from grey sources.

EASL Clinical Practice Guidelines: Wilson’s disease

The paper deals with the theme of university evaluation in the light of institutional changes that European academies are presently facing. Some key factors of those changes as well as critical elements concerning them that are to be found in literature are discussed. In the paper, a distinction is made between macro, meso and micro levels at which changes are taking place. As to the macro level, the role of the European research and higher education policies is taken into account with a particular emphasis on the Open Method of Coordination. At the meso level, the main directives of National policies carried out in the different European member States are presented and discussed particularly by referring to accountability and autonomy. Whereas what is here defined micro level is dealt with by briefly discussing the links between the diffusion of new public management, university governance and evaluation. Following such premises, some proposals are made as to the ambits and modes of university evaluation that do not appear sufficiently developed.

Purpose: The present study was conducted with the aim of examining the indicators of barriers and challenges of virtual education at macro, meso, and micro levels. Methods and Materials: The method employed in this research is a mixed-methods approach. In the qualitative section, documents from the Ministry of Education of the Islamic Republic of Iran, including the "Fundamental Theoretical Foundations for Formal and Public Education Transformation," the "Fundamental Transformation Document of Education," and the "National Curriculum Document," were analyzed. In the quantitative section, two non-random sampling methods were used: non-probability sampling and snowball sampling, which is a non-probability sampling method commonly used in sociology and statistical research. The research population consisted of 150 students from Farhangian University and 10 faculty members from the same institution. Interviews were conducted based on a competency model, and the appropriate tool was developed and implemented after determining its validity and reliability using Cronbach's alpha (α = 0.92). Findings: Based on the findings, 150 digital teacher competencies were categorized into 9 sections, which were further divided into three main areas: curriculum design, barriers to virtual education, and the quality of virtual teaching. The challenges identified in the study were categorized at macro, meso, and micro levels, and the results are applicable for identifying the indicators of barriers and challenges in virtual education. Conclusion: The results of the study indicate that, at the macro level, poor policy-making is the primary issue, at the meso level, budget disruptions are prominent, and at the micro level, students, more than parents, teachers, and professors, believe that the barriers and challenges of virtual education are greater than those of in-person education.
