The study helps to understand the influence of Saudi women in higher education to avail the job opportunities in Saudi Arabia.

Nursing undergraduates' experience of participating in the Internet + Nursing Program and their spiritual education needs: A qualitative study from the perspective of the Neuman System Model.

This study aimed to explore the qualitative aspects of nursing undergraduates' experience of participating in the Internet + nursing program and their spiritual education needs from the perspective of the Neuman system model. Using a descriptive qualitative study design, twelve full-time undergraduates at Chengde Medical University from June to July 2022 who had completed their clinical internship were interviewed one-on-one, and a purposive sampling method was adopted. Moreover, Colaizzi's phenomenological method was employed to analyze the data and improve the themes. In the Internet + nursing program, the lack of spiritual education for undergraduates can be summarized into the following four themes: lack of spiritual consciousness; lack of spiritual education and spiritual nursing knowledge; high demand for spiritual education; and cognition of the current situation of basic nursing education in China and thoughts on incorporating Internet-related technologies into future nursing education. At the school and hospital level, importance should be placed on the basic education of spirituality and psychological nursing, and appropriate measures should be taken to improve the knowledge level of spirituality and psychological nursing as well as the capacity of spiritual nursing, in order to ensure high-quality nursing services.

An overview of the historical development and current vision of academic education

The academic side of education has always been the ultimate point regarding purpose, structuring, and reflecting education to society from past to present. Naturally, the definition of the university and its contribution to society should not be ignored. Historically speaking, universities are institutions where inquisitive minds are trained. Therefore, it is necessary to research the quality of their impact on society. This article aims to draw attention to the fact that the educational disciplines of today’s universities need to be questioned more loudly, as the demand for higher education and the increase in quality do not go parallel. In this article, the stages of academic education from its historical beginnings to the present have been evaluated by scanning the literature. Thus, it is aimed to make the readers question themselves about whether the situation of academic education from the beginning to the present is positive progress or just a change. Therefore, the study focused on discussing the quality of education at universities rather than comparing articles with each other. Articles focused on the main idea of the research were downloaded, examined, and indexed according to the path of academic education in history. The optimal approach should be to evaluate each university according to its own social, geographical, and cultural environment, as well as international standards. Easier access to information is of no importance without a mind that questions the accuracy and validity of the information. The ultimate point that an academic education can reach should be measured by the contribution to society of the people who have attained that education.

대조언어학적 관점을 통한 베트남어권 한국어 학습자를 위한 비음화 오류양상 고찰과 시사점

Objectives The purpose of this study is to obtain educational implications by examining the patterns of nasalization errors (correct and incorrect answers) that appear in each environment among Vietnamese Korean language learners. Methods In order to proceed with this discussion, we first reviewed previous research and theoretical background, and then established standards to analyze the nasalization error rate by environment. After that, from January 30, 2023 to January 30, 2024, in Korea, 19 to 30-year-olds After a basic survey, 15 Vietnamese Korean language learners (5 men and 10 women each) met 1:1 via Zoom and were asked to utter pre-prepared words related to nasal pronunciation. Then, by determining whether the answer was incorrect or correct, more detailed error types and their characteristics according to the overall results and characteristics of each environment were extracted. Results As a result of the analysis, through a review of previous research related to contrastive linguistics, it was possible to understand the fundamental cause of nasalization through differences in syllable structure between the two languages, and through a basic survey, despite the high demand for nasalization education, there was no awareness due to lack of educational experience. I could see that it was lacking. In addition, the results of error patterns by environment showed that the highest rate was in the case of ‘nasalization after adding ‘ㄴ’ or ‘nasalization after consonant group simplification.’ It was found that this was caused by a lack of awareness of nasalization by environment among the nasalization rules of Korean, the standard language. In addition, the higher error rate at ‘word boundaries’ rather than ‘word interior’ showed that nasalization education should be done ‘by phrase’. Lastly, as a result of examining error patterns by region, grade, and gender in an environment that previously showed a high error rate, all grades showed similar difficulties in pronunciation of bar consonants, but by region, it was more common in the south than in the north and central regions, and by gender, more than in women. A high error rate was observed in men. Conclusions In this way, this study identified the actual status of nasalization errors (total error rate by environment and error rate by word interior/boundary) of Vietnamese learners in more diverse environments and, unlike existing previous studies, provided basic data and implications for preparing educational measures. It was a meaningful study in that it was able to obtain results.

The market of academic texts in Russia (according to a qualitative survey)

In Russia, there exists a market where academic texts are sold and bought, from student qualification papers to scientific articles and dissertations. Although its existence violates the formal norms and values of the scientific community, it functions sustainably. The authors analyze the established practices of writing academic texts on demand (with an emphasis on the study of the social behavior of actors) as part of a specific organizational field, a kind of market. The study is based on semi-structured interviews with six direct actors, so-called scriptors (or ghostwriters) and four experts representing NGOs in the field of science and higher education. Destructive entrepreneurship in the system of higher education and science is characterized as a complex system, the actors of which are not only informally “self-employed” scriptors, but also formal organizations that provide contact between customers and performers of academic work. The stability of quasi-scientific texts market in Russia is associated at the macro level with the high demand for higher education and scientific degrees as a status attribute, as well as with a significant supply from scientific and pedagogical workers, thus compensating for the limited opportunities for legal academic entrepreneurship by informal destructive entrepreneurship. At the meso level, the institutional conditions are the rigidity of Russian universities, which continue to be primarily educational institutions, where legal academic entrepreneurship of an innovative type is developing very modestly, and low salaries of staff members. At the micro level, it is an attempt to impose publication activity as the main criterion of academic success in conditions where a significant part of university staff perceive themselves as teachers, not researchers, and do not seek (or do not have the opportunity) to change this situation.

More flexible and diverse financing modalities are needed, taking into account the practices of different countries.

Governmental student funding systems for higher education: an international perspective

The worldwide surge in demand for higher education (HE) aligns with an increasing need for effective student funding systems, particularly in countries where poverty poses a significant barrier to accessing HE. An international perspective on governmental student funding systems allows us to examine how other governments have implemented these systems to benefit their citizens. The aim of this article is thus to provide a global view of the functioning and challenges pertaining to student funding systems and to shed light on the policies in place in the international landscape. The realist systematic literature review methodology was deemed the most suitable for this study as various scholars have previously studied different facets of the topic. This study aligns with the interpretive research paradigm and qualitative methods. The desired information therefore already exists within the body of knowledge, although it has not yet been analyzed through this particular method. It is evident that both developing and developed countries experience challenges regarding student funding, both in the purpose thereof as well as in the implementation. This is a universal issue, and an in-depth literature review confirmed this phenomenon.

Institutional frameworks that guide research integrity and security towards protection of IP and management of technology transfer in universities in Kenya

Kenya’s higher education system is expanding at a very rapid rate. This is reflected in the increasing number of public and private universities, the expansion of existing universities, and the proliferation of online education services. Further, these universities have been increasingly expected to transcend their conventional teaching and research missions to contribute directly and indirectly to solving social and environmental challenges and generate knowledge of economic relevance to society. The teaching and research missions of a university are important, especially on a continent whose population is young and growing rapidly. Demand for higher education is likely to remain high.

Understanding IT in Healthcare: Relevance and Training Needs of IT in Private Medical Practice.

The integration of Information Technology (IT) into private medical practice is crucial in modern healthcare. Physicians managing office-related IT without proper knowledge risk operational inefficiencies and security. This study determines the relevance of specific IT topics in medical practice and identifies the training needs of physicians for enhancing IT competencies in healthcare. In March 2023 a cross-sectional online survey was conducted with physicians comprising nine IT-related topics in Tyrol, Austria. The survey results highlighted a strong perceived relevance and high demand for IT education among physicians working in their medical practice, especially in areas of core medical IT and security. The majority of responses indicated high relevance (76.7%) and high demand (69.7%) for IT topics in medical practice. The findings underscore a significant need for targeted IT training and support in medical practices, particularly in areas related to the medical practice and security. Addressing these needs could lead to improved healthcare delivery and better management of technological resources in the healthcare sector.

Standing ‘in’ and ‘out’ from the Crowd in a Small Genre: Proximity and Positioning in Applied Linguists’ Email Signatures

Abstract Neoliberal demands in higher education (HE) amplified by the affordances of digitalisation have led to the emergence of various academic branding practices, one of which is the use of email signatures for identity work and self-promotion. Examining a corpus of 200 email signatures created by applied linguists between 2011 and 2020, this study identifies core and optional moves and how the moves orient to proximity (scholarly communities) and positioning (reputational work). The quantitative analysis of the dataset supported by semi-structured interviews with a group of academics shows that while core moves provide basic identity information, optional moves are used strategically for positioning. A comparison by career stage reveals that mid-career academics utilize more positioning than early-career and established academics. The positioning moves in the second half of the decade draw more on academic achievements, multimodality, and digital presence. The study contributes to an enhanced understanding of how a small and originally inconspicuous genre becomes a space for academic branding and evaluates this development against the increasingly competitive and precarious conditions of the neoliberal HE sector.

Pengaruh Kompetensi Terhadap Kinerja Pegawai di Lingkungan Inspektorat Kota Cimahi

The city of Cimahi is a small city when compared to several other cities in Indonesia, especially in West Java, but has a variety of interesting things, so it is called campernik. Currently, the City of Cimahi is not only burdened by the dense population and its demographic characteristics and diversity which have implications for the presence of urban problems, but also by the high demand for health, education, infrastructure and other general urban problems such as sanitation and unemployment. This problem is of course a shared responsibility, especially regional apparatus such as offices, agencies, sub-districts and sub-districts in Cimahi City according to their respective work areas. In the framework of administering the government, regional apparatuses become local government organizations that have responsibility to the Mayor of Cimahi with the assistance of supervision by the Inspectorate through the Regional Secretary. Quantitative methods were used in this study with a population and sample of 34 employees in the Cimahi City Inspectorate. The type of data used is primary data obtained through distributing questionnaires to all employees. The results of this study are that there is a significant influence between competency and employee performance variables in the Cimahi City Inspectorate environment of 97.7%. This shows that the better the competence of employees in the agency, the performance of employees will also increase.

Location! Location! Location! Comparing Simulation Debriefing Spaces

BackgroundSpace is a commodity that is in high demand for both theoretical education and performance-based education. With the global nursing shortage, nursing educators are seeing an increase in their enrollment numbers making space more difficult to attain. We know that an integral component of nursing simulation is the use of deliberate reflection in the post-simulation debriefing. However, there have been very few comparisons and no studies were found on how the location of the debriefing effects the student experiences. MethodsUsing the Debriefing Experience Scale, a quasi-experimental design with a convenience sample of 4th-year undergraduate nursing students compared the experience of debriefing in one room versus using multiple rooms. ResultsTwo areas were identified as statistically significant; “the importance of the debriefing to help make connections between theory and real life” and “the debriefing environment was physically comfortable.” ConclusionDebriefing experiences were largely the same. The two items that were identified as different need to further be explored to determine how this might affect participants’ simulation debriefing experience.

Leadership Practices and Work Engagement in Higher Education: The Mediating Role of Job Demands-Resources

There has been extensive research on leadership and work engagement, but little is known concerning leadership practices and work engagement levels in higher education in Namibia. This study examines leadership practices and work engagement in higher education, as well as the mediating role of job demands and job resources in the link. A quantitative approach was adopted following an explanatory research design to explain the mediating roles of job demands and resources in the interplay between leadership practices and work engagement. A combination of sampling strategies (stratified, convenience, and purposive sampling) was adopted to draw a sample of 450 respondents from different groups of employees within the target population of the study. The primary data was collected through an online survey, which was formatted using the Likert-type rating scale. Quantitative data was analyzed using structural equation modelling via SmartPLS Version 3.3.9. Leadership practices have significant relationships with both job demands and resources. On the other hand, job demands have a significant positive relationship with work engagement, but job resources exert no significant effect on work engagement levels. Therefore, the relationship between leadership practices and work engagement was fully mediated by job demands in higher education.

Empowering human potential and fostering values: A vision for private higher education in Malaysia

The purpose of this study is to investigate the empowerment of human potential and how it fosters values in Private Higher Education in Malaysia. Due to the high demand for postsecondary education, the private higher education sector is experiencing fierce competition, making strategic communication more crucial. The study employs a quantitative approach with a sample size of 24 respondents, namely academic and non-academic staff from private higher education institutions in Malaysia, where a statistical analysis was performed using SMART-PLS. The study employed a random sampling method to gather samples from private higher education institutions in Malaysia. The results of the analysis indicated that talent does not influence strategic communication positively. The β value result of this variable is 0.767, the t value is 1.730, and the p-value of 0.084 did not meet the benchmark where the t value is less than 1.96 and the p-value is less than 0.05. The results of human values also do not influence strategic communication positively. The β value is 0.007, the t value is 0.021, and the p-value of 0.983 again did not meet the benchmark for the t value and the p-value. The findings of this study pave the way for future research on strategic communication in private higher education institutions and provide practitioners with actionable mechanisms to enhance this area of practice. This research concludes that strategic communication plays a crucial role in the private higher education sector and that talent and human values are crucial to achieving successful communication strategies.

Higher school infrastructure as an object of management

In modern conditions, search for an ideal combination of resources to meet needs of society with maximum benefit for the participants is becoming a key task of the modern economy. This is provided by the infrastructure which is a space that allows for material and non-material resources to move freely and ensures the achievement of the intended goals. In this regard, the infrastructure is a link, a service subsystem that provides vital activity of the system itself and its survival in the market. The article analyses the key indicators, characterising the infrastructure of higher education. The patterns, providing both positive and negative trends in the development of higher education, are revealed.Among the key factors that require close attention of both theoretical and practical economists are the factors that describe the decline in demand for higher education. This is the position of students and employees of higher school organisations.

Youth Culture: Influence of Media and Globalization

The emergence of youth as a specific cohort of population is associated with industrialization and is linked with the need for extended training and education for entering the labour market. Rising prosperity, high educational demands of the economy and rapid social change have collectively contributed to the emergence of a stage of life called youth. The youth occupy the in-between space between school and work. Many of them enter college. The congregation of large number of similar aged people sharing the same position in the social structure heightens the generational identification. Generational consciousness also entails a feeling of psychological disconnection from previous generations, their life situations, and their ideologies. This creates ripe conditions for the emergence of youth cultures. Youth cultures are profoundly influenced by media and globalization. In this research paper describe the features of youth culture; and discuss the impact of globalization and media on youth culture.

HISTÓRIA RECENTE DA EXPANSÃO DO ENSINO SUPERIOR NO BRASIL: 1990 A 2020

Brazilian higher education has its origins in an ingrained elitist tendency, serving a public from the highest social strata and with a tradition in higher education. However, there was a significant demand for progression in studies, putting pressure on the government to correct the gap between the supply of vacancies and the demand for higher education. Thus, several policies were aimed at democratizing this level of expansion. The present study seeks to carry out a survey and discussion about public policies aimed at the expansion of higher education implemented in the recent history of the country, since 1990. In order to obtain an understanding of how the current university structure in the country was conceived, and how its audience was characterized. This analysis was carried out through official documents available in the Official Gazette of the Union, as well as published by the responsible public entities. Also included are budgetary data from public transparency and statistical synopses from higher education educational censuses. It appears that the country's social inequalities are reflected in educational inequalities. In this way, public policies implemented aimed at mitigating such inequalities stand out. Faced with the difficulties of structuring the public system to absorb all high school graduates, private HEIs took better advantage of the public policies of that period and continued to expand.
