Awareness and Perception About Research Ethics and Misconduct Among the Teaching Staff of Health Colleges, Jazan University, Saudi Arabia.

Despite adopting biomedical research ethics rules, regulations, and statements, unethical behavior is pervasive and frequently reported. This study assessed the perception and awareness of research Ethics and Misconduct among the Teaching Staff of Health Colleges at Jazan University, southwest Saudi Arabia. This research aimed to assess the awareness and perception of research ethics and misconduct among the teaching staff of the health colleges at Jazan University in southwest Saudi Arabia. Observational cross-sectional study targeted 424 faculty members randomly chosen from health-related colleges at Jazan University. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data using a web-based survey. The overall level of knowledge about medical ethics indicated that more than half of respondents (57.8%) had a good level of knowledge, 23.4% had a fair level of knowledge, and only 18.4% had poor knowledge. The Saudi National Committee on Bioethics was only known by 49.5% of the study participants. In addition, just 48.3% of respondents knew Saudi Arabia's national standards of ethics and principles for conducting scientific research. The knowledge of research ethics was found to be significantly (P<0.05) higher in participants with higher academic positions, such as professors, MD degree holders, and participants with more extensive work experience. About 48.2% reported that the severity of penalties for scientific misconduct would highly affect scientific integrity, and 74.3% found that their understanding of rules and procedures related to scientific misconduct has a very high effect on scientific integrity. Poor knowledge of research ethics is typically associated with an individual's academic job title, as "lecturer" showed a lower level of knowledge in comparison to other job titles. Even though about 50% of participants in the study had a good understanding of research ethics, it's crucial to ensure that all faculty members have a universal understanding. Therefore, it's essential to implement an appropriate research ethics training program.

Conclusion: Health professionals have limitations regarding knowledge of the signs and symptoms and treatment options for the main pelvic floor disorders. Education level was correlated with recognition.

Influential Radiology Figures and Organizations in Social Media

PurposeWith social media becoming a vibrant hub for the radiology community, highlighting expert leaders and trustful conduits of information in the virtual field is proving crucial. The aim of this study was to identify and describe the most prominent and influential figures and organizational accounts to follow in radiology. MethodsInfluence scores for the topic “radiology” on Twitter (now known as X) were computed using the Right Relevance machine learning service. Top influencers were classified according to gender, geography, physician degree, areas of influence, subspecialization, influence score, title, affiliated institution, dual degree, medical school origin, content type, and research activity. Statistical analysis was performed assessing variable correlations. ResultsIn the top quartile of influential figures, 87% were physicians, 60% men, and 93% located in the United States. Prevalent backgrounds included neuroradiology (21%), abdominal imaging (12%), and artificial intelligence (11%). Of the top 100 figures, 81% were US graduates, 97% held medical degrees, and 28% had dual degrees. Fifty-eight percent provided educational content. A majority held leadership positions (58%) and academic professorship titles (70%). The median h index, publication number, and citation number were 14, 49, and 881, respectively. No significant correlation was noted between influence score and academic rank or research output. ConclusionsVirtual presence is becoming integral to health care professions and academic spheres, unfolding great potential for enhancing the sense of belonging, advocacy, recruitment, and fostering new relationships. Having a core of influential leaders and organizations to follow can serve as a resource for the community members and aspiring students building a positive connected basis for radiology’s thriving future.

Advanced degrees, gender, and professional rank in surgery, disparities in academic medicine

IntroductionWomen comprise nearly half of all residents in training, yet there is a significant disparity of women in academic leadership. Surgical subspecialties are dominated by men in both percentages of physicians and leadership positions. We sought to examine the association of advanced non-medical degrees with academic rank and gender in academic surgery departments. MethodsFaculty from 126 ACGME-accredited academic medical centers were analyzed to identify faculty gender as described in online biographical information, advanced non-medical degrees, academic rank, and additional leadership positions held. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression models were used for statistical analyses. Results4536 surgeons were identified, 69.3% men, 27.3% female, and 3.3% unlisted. Female surgeons were more likely to hold advanced non-doctoral degrees than men (18.2% vs. 13.8%, p ​< ​0.002). Among those with advanced degrees, PhDs were held by 3.3% of women and 5.7% of men (p ​< ​0.001). Female surgeons were less likely to hold the rank of Professor than male surgeons (15.8% vs 30.3%, p ​< ​0.001), and more likely to hold the rank of Assistant Professor than male surgeons (51.9% vs 36.1%, p ​< ​0.001). This likelihood remained true when analyzing only surgeons with one or more advanced non-medical degrees. Men were more likely to be Chair of Surgery (3.0%), Division Chief (9.6%), and Research Chair (0.5%); compared to women (1.3%; 4.8%; 0.2%; p ​= ​0.001, <0.001, 0.21 respectively). ConclusionsThere continues to be a significant male predominance in general surgery. Gender discrepancy is also seen in professional rank and academic title despite women holding more advanced degrees. Advanced degrees are currently considered academic qualifications, but this does not reflect surgical academic leadership roles or rank.

MEĐUNARODNA SARADNJA UNSA: VIZIJA 2030 – STRATEGIJA BRAIN GAIN? / UNIVERSITY OF SARAJEVO INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION TOWARDS A VISION 2030: BRAIN GAIN STRATEGY?

Academic mobility is a valuable and indispensable mechanism in each country's higher education quality assurance system. It also contributes to building and improving the capacities of individual universities because it enables the introduction of positive and proven teaching practices, modern teaching and research methods, and operational and administrative processes. The added value of mobility is the establishment of personal contacts and professional networking of teaching, scientific, artistic and non-teaching staff of the University of Sarajevo (from now on: "UNSA"), which has a long-term effect on the development of teaching, scientific and technological capacity. Studying through mobility gets an international note - students understand their work in a global context, their CV is enriched with new experiences, their knowledge of a foreign language (s) is improved, and after graduation, they become a competitive workforce. Teaching / scientific, artistic and non-teaching staff gain international experience through mobility, improve themselves, participate in active professional development, and increase the quality of the working environment. In the last 15 years, the University of Sarajevo has had over 2,500 outgoing mobility while hosting more than 1,500 international students, teaching / scientific, artistic and non-teaching staff. The mobility of students and staff significantly improves both the quality and the professional standard of UNSA activities. It indirectly contributes to the development and transformation of society as a whole. Through the integration of UNSA, many processes are uniform and simplified, but still, the heterogeneity and specificity of each organizational unit are present. In addition to all the benefits of student mobility, the most significant administrative challenge is the equivalence and recognition of ECTS credits earned at foreign institutions upon return to home institutions. Student services are faced with many formalities around keeping registers and other administrative forms that need to be tailored to exchange students. The current legal regulations in higher education do not value participation in mobility programs, which is undoubtedly not motivating for students and staff to get involved in them. On the contrary, the current vague legal framework and administrative barriers are significantly demotivating for students as they lose a semester or school year due to participation in mobility programs. It is necessary to develop more adequate regulations that will encourage more frequent, productive, more straightforward and better implementation of academic mobility for students. This could be achieved through participation in programs intended for international students (one-year specialist study, master's degree, dual education, summer schools, etc.). It is necessary to develop mechanisms for adequate evaluation of mobility for teaching, artistic and scientific staff of UNSA, which is particularly important for advancement to higher academic titles. It is also crucial to promote the exchange of administrative staff, which is often unjustifiably neglected, to improve the administrative processes at UNSA and its (sub) organizational units. To achieve this, we should be focused on developing cooperation with potential partners interested in administrative / non-teaching staff mobility.

Assessing the effectiveness of research and academic staff's scientific activity: definition of criteria and indicators

This paper highlights the crucial need to establish clear criteria and indicators for assessing the effectiveness of the scientific activity of research and academic staff. By carefully examining different dimensions of research activity, this study identifies and describes a comprehensive set of criteria and relevant indicators. These include involvement in project competitions (preparation, participation, and student engagement), scholarly publication outputs (journals, conferences, monographs, and student mentoring), scientometric measures (indexing and citations), altmetric considerations (digital repositories, online presence, and social media impact), expert contributions (peer review, committee participation, editorial roles, and conference organization), and representative scholarly achievements (dissertation defense, academic and honorary titles, awards, supervision, international engagement, and language skills). It is emphasized that these identified criteria can be categorized into publication and dissemination, exploitation, and impact on the academic community. By using this comprehensive framework, educational institutions can effectively assess the quality, impact, and contribution of the activities of research and academic staff, thereby promoting research excellence and educational progress.

Gender and Racial Representation of Invited Speakers From The Aesthetic Society Annual Meetings Over a 5-Year Period.

Increased representation from both women and non-White ethnicities remains a topic of discussion in plastic surgery. Speakers at academic conferences are a form of visual representation of diversity within the field. This study determined the current demographic landscape of aesthetic plastic surgery and evaluated whether underrepresented populations receive equal opportunities to be invited speakers at The Aesthetic Society meetings. Invited speaker's names, roles, and allotted time for presentation were extracted from the 2017 to 2021 meeting programs. Perceived gender and ethnicity were determined by visual analysis of photographs, whereas parameters of academic productivity and professorship were collected from Doximity, LinkedIn, Scopus, and institutional profiles. Differences in opportunities to present and academic credentials were compared between groups. Of the 1447 invited speakers between 2017 and 2021, 20% (n = 294) were women and 23% (n = 316) belonged to a non-White ethnicity. Representation from women significantly increased between 2017 and 2021 (14% vs 30%, P < 0.001), whereas the proportion of non-White speakers did not (25% vs 25%, P > 0.050) despite comparable h-indexes (15.3 vs 17.2) and publications (54.9 vs 75.9) to White speakers. Non-White speakers oftentimes had more academic titles, significant in 2019 ( P < 0.020). The proportion of female invited speakers has increased, with room for further improvement. Representation from non-White speakers has not changed. However, significantly more non-White speakers holding assistant professor titles may indicate increased ethnicity diversity in years to come. Future efforts should focus on improving diversity in positions of leadership while promoting functions that target young minority career individuals.

Future of University Medicine: How Important are Research and Teaching? - An Inventory

The requirements and challenges for the university hospitals in Germany are changing. Especially in surgical subjects, it is more and more difficult to adequately serve these three pillars of university medicine - clinic, research and education. This survey was intended to determine the status quo of general and visceral surgery at universities, in order to provide a basis for proposed solutions.For this online survey, 1505 visceral surgeons at the 38 university clinics were contacted. The questionnaire contained 29 questions on the structure of the clinic, scientific motivation, opportunities for time-off and the appreciation of academic achievements. The type and scope of student courses and the preparation for them were also determined. With regard to patient care, the type and number of services and the course of surgical training were examined. Based on the data published on the websites of the individual clinics on the number, gender, position and academic title of the doctors, a demographic analysis of university visceral surgeons could also be created.Of 1505 surgeons successfully contacted, 352 took part in the survey, which corresponds to a response rate of 23.4%. Of the participants, 93.5% were scientifically active, the majority being in the field of clinical data collection. Many indicated that they were also active in translational and/or experimental research, while educational research was rarely named. 45% confirmed that they could perform scientific work during their normal working hours. The reward for this activity was mostly in the form of time-off for congresses and clinical appreciation. Most participants stated that they were involved in 3-4 student courses per week, with 24.4% reporting that they were not adequately prepared for them.The compatibility of the classic three pillars of clinic, research and teaching continues to be of great relevance. There is a high level of motivation among the participating visceral surgeons not to neglect research and teaching, despite increasing economic pressure in the field of patient care. However, arrangements must be created in order to reward and promote commitment in research and teaching in a structured way.

The Relationship Between Proactive Coping and Job Well-being in University Faculty

The present research aims to investigate the correlational relationship between proactive coping and job well-being in university professors as a function of gender, specialization, and academic title. To this end, a proactive coping scale was developed based on Greenglass’s theory (2002). Abu Baker and Ahmad’s (2020) job well-being scale was adopted to examine this dimension in university professors. Having confirmed the validity and reliability of both tools, we performed them on a sample consisting of 400 professors. Findings show the sample group enjoys proactive coping and job well-being, and there exists a positive relationship between proactive coping and job well-being in university professors. However, there is no relationship between proactive coping and job well-being as a function of gender, specialization, or academic title.

Can improvements in teacher quality reduce the cognitive gap between urban and rural students in China?

The urban-rural educational gap is a pressing issue for many countries, including China. Rural students have access to fewer educational resources and have less qualified teachers. Enhancing the quality of rural teachers is being prioritized by the Chinese government in its efforts to advance rural education. Using data from the China Education Panel Survey, we examine the impact of teacher quality on the cognitive gap between rural and urban students in China. We find that, first, the quality of teachers, as measured by academic qualifications and professional titles, significantly affects students' cognitive achievements. Second, middle and high achievers benefit more than their other peers from highly qualified teachers. Third, urban-rural discrepancy in teacher quality accounts for 9.06% of the cognitive gap on average. Our findings highlight the critical role of teacher quality in promoting educational equity and the importance of recruiting high-quality teachers for rural schools.

Оценка цифровых образовательных технологий преподавателями вузов

&lt;p&gt;A comparative analysis of the assessments of digital educational technologies by teachers (mean age &amp;ndash; 49&amp;plusmn;12 years) of various Russian Federation universities who have experience in using them in their professional activities (N=110) and teachers who do not have such experience (N=40) is carried out. The samples are equivalent in gender, academic titles and degrees, age, and work experience. The main advantages are the following: access to information at any convenient time; flexible schedule and the ability to organize independent work. Among the difficulties technical failures, lack of personal contacts, inconvenience of working with an electronic course and the need to spend a long time at the computer were noted. Teachers with experience in the development of e-learning courses rate work in an electronic environment much more positively, in contrast to teachers without experience who exaggerate the frequency of technical failures, point out the lack of technical and legal support, and the difficulties in monitoring assignments. All the teachers can be divided into &amp;ldquo;skeptics&amp;rdquo; and &amp;ldquo;enthusiasts&amp;rdquo; in relation to the acceptance of digital environment. &amp;ldquo;Enthusiasts&amp;rdquo;, unlike &amp;ldquo;skeptics&amp;rdquo;, have a positive attitude to innovations, believe that the educational process becomes more flexible and intense, emphasize the growth of student involvement and independence, individualization of training, support from management, colleagues, technical support, transparency of interaction. Most teachers with experience in using e-learning courses turned out to be &amp;ldquo;enthusiasts&amp;rdquo;. The groups of &amp;ldquo;enthusiasts&amp;rdquo; and &amp;ldquo;skeptics&amp;rdquo; do not differ in gender, age, and professional experience, which indicates the possible presence of &amp;ldquo;second order&amp;rdquo; barriers: pedagogical beliefs that prevent the acceptance of e-learning.&lt;/p&gt;

Cultivating Anti-Racism Allies in Academic Medicine.

Racial microaggressions, racially based remarks, or actions that negatively impact marginalized physicians of color (Black, Latino/a/x, and American Indian/Alaskan Natives) often go unaddressed. This article provides four strategies for how individuals and institutions can engage in anti-racism allyship: (1) be an upstander during microaggressions, (2) be a sponsor and advocate for physicians of color, (3) acknowledge academic titles and accomplishments, and (4) challenge the idea of a "standard fit" for academic faculty and research. Skills in academic allyship should be taught to all physicians throughout the educational continuum to mitigate feelings of isolation that racialized minority physicians frequently experience.

The Lasting Impact of Generational Mentors: Drs. Joseph G. McCarthy and Henry K. Kawamoto

Background: Within the field of plastic and craniofacial surgery, Joseph G. McCarthy, M.D. and Henry K. Kawamoto Jr., M.D., D.D.S. have both dedicated a significant portion of their career, time, and effort to mentoring the next generation of surgeons. Our study reflects the impact of these generational mentors by analyzing the career paths and academic contributions of their graduate plastic and craniofacial surgeon mentees. It also highlights the unique mentorship styles of Drs. McCarthy and Kawamoto. Methods: Academic productivity of trainees under Drs. Kawamoto and McCarthy who completed a craniofacial fellowship (n = 81) or plastic surgery residency (n = 270) from 1984 to 2016 were assessed using institutional records. Curriculum vitae, practice websites, and personal correspondence were used to record practice type, geographic location, academic titles, societal leadership roles, mission trip involvement, and bibliometric data (publications, citations, h-index, grants). Results: The craniofacial fellows studied had a mean time since completion of fellowship training of 21 ± 11 years. Three-fourths had active craniofacial practices (75.3%) and over half of the fellows continued to practice in an academic setting (56.8%). The majority continued their surgical practice in the United States with a distribution of 24.7% in the Northeast, 29.6% in the South, 11.1% in the Midwest, and 25.9% in the West. Many became Division/Department Chiefs (42.0%), Craniofacial Directors (45.7%) and professional societal leaders (49.4%). Many sustained research productivity with an average of 77 ± 136 publications; 2070 ± 5459 citations; and h-index of 17 ± 16. An additional analysis of plastic surgery residents showed almost as robust of an academic interest: 34.5% were appointed Chief; 52 ± 95 mean publications; 1808 ± 4517 citations; and h-index of 15 ± 15. These numbers superseded other plastic surgery graduates. Conclusions: The McCarthy and Kawamoto craniofacial fellows and plastic surgery residents were noted to have impressive academic records. Mentorship relationships should be envisioned as a 2-way “Give-Get” relationship that will improve clinical skills, research productivity, and patient care.

An empirical study on the examination of individual innovativeness levels of civil aviation academicians

Research aim/problem: The civil aviation sector is a sector where high technology is used. Academics working in educational institutions that teach employees for this industry should be open to new ideas. The "Individual Innovation Scale" was employed in the study to measure the levels of innovativeness of civil aviation academics. The study was formed using a survey model. The research universe includes 440 civil aviation academicians. Among the random sample methods employed in the study was the accessible sampling approach. The study sample group comprises of 67 academics, 22 females and 45 males, who volunteered to take part in the research. Civil aviation academics, it can be argued, are prone to individual innovative traits, are open to experience and eager to attempt innovation, do not reject change, and have a high degree of engagement in thinking on this subject. Furthermore, significant differences were determined for the academic title variable "Resistance to Change" in the dimension of "Resistance to Change" according to the gender variable of the factors of individual innovativeness; according to the seniority variable, in the dimension of "Thought Leadership".
