A proposed conceptual framework of supply chain operations reference (SCOR) model in Indonesian industries: a literature review

This article uses the approach of a literature review study sourced from previous research and relevant to this research, namely the Supply Chain Operations Reference model. The phenomenon is that previous studies have not reviewed the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model as an interesting thing to study in collaboration with other methods in a structured way. This study aims to give a proposed framework of the SCOR model as a reference for detailed information related to the SCOR model in Indonesia's retail, manufacturing, and service industries. The results of the paper are the year of publication for the 50 articles reviewed consists of 2018-2021 for the country of Indonesia. The research object consists of 3 objects, namely the retail, manufacturing, and service industries. Most supply chain performance levels in Indonesia are in a good category. Most of the research variables majority of the five variables often used in the SCOR model: plan, source, make, deliver, and return. The performance attribute priority that needs to be improved is the reliability attribute. The method used by previous research is 17 methods. This method can be used as an illustration to see how the SCOR model can collaborate with other methods. The paper's conclusion is the research proposed framework regarding the application of the SCOR model that can be collaborated with other methods.

SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY AND THE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT OF THE TEHRAN METROPOLIS UNDER INTERNATIONAL SANCTIONS

This paper is aimed to analyse the existing relationships and controlling functions between ecological footprint and international sanction in case of Teheran city. The analysis begins questioning whether the sustainability of health on our common planet is rightly treated with oblivion to the pernicious consequences from the economic blockade of one country by the global community. The analytic method used is based on developing a conceptual and theoretical framework of reference to review the literature, interviews on the main variables of the research: urban policy, transport system, international sanctions and multi scale governance. It is concluded that while that the existence of more holistic facilitating the development of the rail transport system, the governance and stakeholders put a lot of obstacles and play at a different scale. The analysis suggests that a holistic approach is required to build urban mobility based on decreasing of ecological footprint by addressing a fuller range of degradation public health, urban politicisation, to process the policy of the multi-scale governance of city, to create the governance that implies geographical proximity, organisational proximity and institutional proximity of stakeholders.

نحو رؤية مستقبلية لتطوير برامج کليات التربية Towards a Future Vision for Developing Faculties of Education's Programs

هدفت الورقة البحثية إلقاء الضوء على برامج کليات التربية التي قام البعض منها بتطوير لوائحها وفق الإطار الفکري المرجعي الذي أعدته لجنة قطاع الدراسات التربوية، واعتمده المجلس الأعلى للجامعات والذي يحدد مواصفات الخريج من کلية التربية؛ ولکن مازال عدد غير قليل من الکليات تطبق لوائح قديمة تضم مقررات عفا عليها الزمن ولا تواکب العصر الرقمي ولا تناسب معلم المرحلة الحالية والقادمة، وتوضح تلک الورقة البحثية الآليات التي يمکن اتباعها للتغلب علي تلک السلبيات؛ من خلال وضع رؤية مستقبلية لتطوير برامج کليات التربية. The research paper attempted to focus on faculties of education programs. Some of these programs have been developed according to the conceptual framework of reference prepared by the Committee of Education Studies' Sector and approved by the Supreme Council of Universities to determine the specifications of the graduate. However, quite a few colleges still apply old regulations that include outdated, unsuitable courses which do not keep pace with the digital age and future stage teachers. This research paper clarifies the mechanisms that can be followed to overcome these negatives by setting a future vision for developing programs for Faculties of Education.

Implementing a psycho-educational model to increase university lecturers' effectiveness to constructively manage experienced aggression.

BackgroundThe authors developed a psycho-educational model as a conceptual framework of reference for university lecturers to facilitate the constructive management of experienced aggression. The model must be implemented in a workshop and in practice to confirm the if the model is effective.AimThis article describes the implementation of a psycho-educational model in a workshop and in practice, as well as the evaluation of the effectiveness of the psychoeducational model.SettingThis study was conducted in a specific college at a university in Johannesburg in South Africa.MethodThis study followed a qualitative, exploratory, descriptive, contextual and theory-generating research design. The psycho-educational model was implemented in three phases during a workshop and then for three months in practice by university lecturers. A purposive sample of university lecturers was applied. The effectiveness of the psycho-educational model was evaluated during and directly after the workshop, 1 week after the workshop and 3 months journal entries. Final evaluation was in a focus group after 3 months of implementation of the model in the workplace.ResultsThe participating university lecturers found the implementation of the psycho-educational model, as a conceptual framework of reference to constructively manage experiences of aggression, effective, helpful and important. The model increased their understanding of aggression in their places of work and increased their effectiveness to constructively manage experiences of aggression in their workplace.ConclusionThe implementation and evaluation of the psycho-educational model underscored the need for affective and effective facilitative support for university lecturers to be able to constructively manage experienced aggression.

A psycho-educational model for university lecturers to facilitate the constructive management of aggression.

BackgroundExperienced workplace aggression is a lingering phenomenon and comprises an extensive body of knowledge. Experiences of workplace aggression require constructive intervention and support. These interventions and support must aim to assist university lecturers to constructively manage experiences of aggression.AimThe aim of this article is to describe the process followed to develop, describe and evaluate a psycho-educational model for university lecturers that could be used as a conceptual framework of reference to facilitate the constructive management of experienced aggression.SettingThe model is applicable in universities where the university lecturers work and experience aggression. This study was conducted in a specific college at a university in Johannesburg in South Africa.MethodA theory-generating, qualitative, exploratory, descriptive and contextual design was applied to develop a psycho-educational model. The process included four steps: concept analysis, relationship statements, description of the model and evaluation of the developed model. The criteria of clarity, simplicity, generality, accessibility and importance were used during the evaluation of the model.ResultsThe central concept in this study was to facilitate constructive management. The psycho-educational model as the conceptual framework of reference for facilitating the constructive management of experienced aggression was described and evaluated. University lecturers’ destructive management of experienced aggression formed the basis for the psycho-educational model.ConclusionThe psycho-educational model provides a conceptual framework of reference for university lecturers that may assist them to constructively manage experiences of aggression in their places of work.

Urban green infrastructure as a tool for controlling the resilience of urban sprawl

This paper is aimed to analyze the existing relationships and controlling functions between the urban green infrastructures on the resilience of the urban sprawl. The analysis begins questioning whether urban sprawl sustainable growth can be controlled after achieving urban supported by urban green infrastructure. The analytic method used is based on developing a conceptual and theoretical framework of reference to review the literature on the main variables of the research: Green infrastructure, resilience, and urban sprawl. It is concluded that while it is difficult to find linear causality in a direct relationship among the variables of the analysis, it is supported by the existence of more holistic connectivity leading to the controlling of the urban sprawl. The analysis suggests that a holistic approach is required to build urban resilience based on green infrastructure by addressing a fuller range of ecosystem disturbances and disasters, to create the outcomes that develop the environmental and ecological benefits of urban spectrum of ecosystem disturbances and disasters, to create the outcomes that develop the environmental and ecological benefits of urban sprawl.

Des recherches récentes sur le contrôle dans les services sont alors mobilisées afin de comprendre comment les pratiques et outils précédemment identifiés s’intègrent aux systèmes globaux de pilotage de la performance dans les entreprises de service.

Seeking roots and tracing lineages: constructing a framework of reference for roots and genealogical tourism

Travel for the purpose of seeking roots, or roots tourism, is understood to be focused on the descendants of a diaspora living in contemporary multicultural societies and travelling to ancestral homelands in search of identity and belongingness. It is an almost negligible niche segment of heritage tourism due to an obscure amalgam of contextual concepts. The primary purpose of this review is to construct a conceptual framework of reference based on sociological and psychological literatures concerning identity and belongingness. This framework is then employed to synthesize contributions to roots tourism from scholars both within and beyond tourism studies. On the basis of a unique conceptual overlap with seeking roots, travel for the purpose of tracing lineages, or genealogical tourism, by diasporic descendants is concisely discussed with respect to tourism scholarship. It is recommended that researchers in tourism studies systematically develop the contributions of this review by continuing to draw from established disciplines and closely aligned fields of study.

Issues arising for accounting harmonization: The case of stock options in Italy

In Italy, national generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) regulations coexist, despite differences that lead to their antagonist forms of accounting relativism. In this context, the two accounting systems provide for different representations of stock options plans, with significant effects on year-end income measures. This study therefore considers the emblematic case of stock options with the goal of demonstrating, on the basis of the dominant accounting principles and conventional wisdom in Italy, that the aforementioned difference cannot be explained by reasons connected with the accounting conceptual framework of reference in each system. Rather, inquiries should focus on weaknesses in national GAAP.

Diversities in Diversity: Exploring Moroccan Migrants' Livelihood in Genoa

It is a largely accepted idea that complexity and recent global phenomena have generated a multi-layered diversification process in Western societies. Migration phenomena are largely responsible for this process both in receiving European societies as well as in original sending countries. Migration has been and continues to be a ubiquitous human experience. Yet, while this fact has aided the understanding of the world as something other than a mosaic of distinct cultural spaces with clearly demarcated borders, it has not decreased the incomprehension, fear and suspicion with which non-European migrants are often greeted within the industrialised cities of Europe. This article deals with one aspect of this process that seems to be quite underestimated in media, public opinion and academia. It is the idea that ethnicity can be approached, explored and investigated as a heterogeneous and multi-faced form of diversity itself. This is what can be defined as diversities within diversity. Departing from the presentation of an empirical research in Genoa it will be possible to analyse these phenomena at two different levels: namely, in terms of methods and methodology. By focusing on the idea of livelihood and employing an approach based on Tracing techniques, different ways of acting and being Moroccan migrants in Genoa will be revealed, presented and discussed. This method newly integrates both quantitative and qualitative information. It will allow us to analyse the experience of livelihood in a way that will reveal the simultaneous existence of many underlying different invisible and unconscious social constructions as well as visible concrete and conscious expressions of everyday life. Disclosing how the same people in the same local context produce different adaptive strategies and lifestyles will lead to outline a potential conceptual methodological framework of reference based on an open/close principle. In this case ideas of openness and closeness will be assumed in a dialectical double-faced process. It is not only a matter of how systems can be defined open or closed by themselves, but also how the encounter and interplay of many different systems - generation of diversity - establish the conditions and limits within which different individuals can reproduce their culture as social actors - production of diversities. After having discussed the methodological implications of this approach it will be possible to draw some final theoretical considerations. If we believe that new ways of investigating social phenomena are a determinant in the way we describe, analyze, explain and understand their complexity, we should recognize that not only theory might generate and define what we call social reality but also vice-versa. Approaching the world out there in new ways might result in rethinking and adjusting the conceptual taxonomies that drive social scholars in their search for gaining and catching social reality. This principle becomes crucial if we want social sciences to be heuristically oriented, in other words if we want to develop the capacity to hand back positive analytical readings and comparisons of social phenomena as well as useful recommendations for policy makers.
