The aim of this research is to focus on higher education organizations, those usually aspire to reform the educational system. This is because of the need to adapt to the new constantly changing requirements of society. The way is by raising the quality and efficiency of education in the university system to meet international standards. The reform must take into account the effectiveness and quality of education, compatible with global system, and must enable graduates to integrate easily into the modern labor market. As the knowledge is being the critical factor to the survival and sustainability of the organization, knowledge management processes have become an important productive component for the continuous flow of contemporary managerial concepts. Universities should also be prepared to work in the competitive education market, assuming greater administrative self-independence, flexible regulatory framework and adequate funding. Today higher education institutions require more openness and transparency, and directing researches into how public institutions perform at the higher education level, which affect the performance management of these institutions.Emphasis was placed, on the extent, to the contribution of knowledge management processes and their role to fulfill the quality of university education. The matter, which significantly stimulated the university's potential concerns in terms of the difficulty of preparing students for life and work. The expansion of higher education in the outside world took a completely different direction due to the intense competition and the emergence of Open Universities and the Internet revolution while this education remains self-sustaining. Moreover, the increase in the number of colleges and students has led to increased problems of quality control in education. This is a major and important issue faced by universities The analytical approach was used to analyze the information collected by the questionnaire, which was designed to take into account the spectroscopic and analytical clarity in the diagnosis of the dimensions of the research, its components and the measurement mechanism. In the applied side, the logic architecture (fuzzy logic) was adopted in the process of examining the level of knowledge management processes to achieve the quality of learning. The study population was divided into all sections of the institute. A sample of 50 teachers was selected and all data were subjected to statistical analysis using a package ( SPSS ). Conclusions have been reached, most notably are in determining the level of the actualmembership function of the application of knowledge management processes to achieve the quality of university learning, taking into account the necessary requirements for the implementation of these processes, including training, administrative, organizational, incentive and technology. A number of proposals were put forward to all Iraqi administrations, including the (knowledge-driven) organization. One of the most important of these proposals is to generate the conviction of university officials that quality management and its applications are necessary and decisive for the university's continuity, growth and development by improving the quality of its performance and generating the ability to meet the challenges that may arise in the future.

Effects of checkpoint inhibitors in advanced non-small cell lung cancer at population level from the National Immunotherapy Registry

ObjectivePhase III studies of checkpoint inhibitors changed the therapeutic landscape for lung cancer. In 2015 the Dutch Society of Chest Physicians (NVALT) introduced a national immunotherapy registry for patients with lung cancer; quality standards for hospitals were implemented. At population level we studied clinical benefit in daily practice and in patients who are underrepresented in phase III trials. Materials and MethodsFrom the initial introduction of checkpoint inhibitors in the Netherlands patients were centrally registered. Educational programs and quality control were provided under supervision of NVALT. The largest immunotherapy providing hospitals were compared to hospitals who provided less checkpoint inhibitors as marker of experience. Patients characteristics, treatment and side effects, response rate and survival were studied. ResultsA total of 2676 patients were registered, 2302 with follow up data were evaluated. Between October 2015 and December 2017 a gradual increase from 12 to 30 qualified hospitals showed no major toxicity differences. Toxicity led to a hospital admission rate of 9.1 with an average duration of 10.4 days.Overall tumor response was 21.8 % and median overall survival 12.6 months. Overall survival was not significantly different for patients aged ≥ 75 years, those having brain metastases or selected auto-immune diseases before start checkpoint inhibitors compared to younger patients or those without, respectively. Survival outcomes were worse in patients with PS 2+, non-smokers, and patients who received any palliative radiotherapy (HR 2.1, 95 % CI 1.7–2.7; 1.3, 95 % CI 1.0–1.6 and 1.2, 95 % CI 1.1–1.4, respectively). ConclusionsChanges in the therapeutic landscape did not lead to major differences in quality of care between hospitals. Elderly patients, those with brain metastases or selected auto-immune disease underrepresented in clinical trials did not do worse on checkpoint inhibitors, except for those with PS 2 + .

Problems of Muses Education in the Ancient Cities of the Northern Black Sea Coast

The article deals with the problems of education and upbringing in the ancient cities of the Northern Black Sea Littoral. Literary, epigraphic and material data sources characterizing the muses education are systematized. Namely: the study of grammar, literature, arithmetic, music. The inscriptions that can be considered as school exercises, texts of epitaphs, messages from ancient authors, archaeological materials, including funerals are analyzed. The material of the graffiti shows the peculiarities of teaching grammar and literature, the process of forming a unified system for writing throughout the Northern Black Sea Littoral. The process of teaching music and dance is still poorly covered in literature. A wide range of iconographic and archaeological materials have been used to expose this aspect of muses education. According to the author, the content and forms of education in the cities of the Northern Black Sea region were generally the same as in the cities of Greece itself. The possibility of obtaining the highest level of education from the local elite is emphasized. That is confirmed by the data on eminent philosophers from the Northern Black Sea region, such as Bosporan Sopheid, Bion Borisfenit, Posidonius Olviopolit and others. The following forms of organization of school education are considered: questions of school premises and educational accessories, methods of teaching and education, social background of students and teachers. The role of muses agonists and religious holidays as forms of quality control of education is shown. The connection of musical education with physical preparation and influence of political structure of the states on the development of education are considered.

THE NEW MODEL OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITY OR PRIVATIZATION OF UNIVERSITIES?

Автор характеризує суперечності нової моделі економічної діяльності університетів, пов’язані з генеруванням ними власних (позабюджетних) доходів і збільшенням частки приватних джерел фінансування. Закордонні вчені розглядають такі процеси як приватизацію державних університетів. Стаття узагальнює їхні думки щодо передумов, видів і форм приватизації у сфері вищої освіти.В Україні залучення коштів приватних осіб могло б сприяти розвиткові університетів. Однак воно не зможе розв’язати навіть поточні проблеми університетів. По-перше, українські заклади вищої освіти (ЗВО) потребують значних коштів на оновлення і розширення матеріально-технічної бази, розвиток науково-дослідної роботи та фінансування інших украй важливих потреб. Такі витрати під силу лише державі. По-друге, в інституціональному середовищі України приватне фінансування університетів зіштовхується з численними пастками недовіри з боку споживачів (платників) освітніх послуг, роботодавців, приватних інвесторів і потенційних донорів. Найменшу зацікавленість у розвитку університетської освіти виявляє приватний бізнес.Автор пояснює це тим, що освітні послуги за своєю природою є довірчими благами: їхня якість не можна виміряти й оцінити під час вступу до ЗВО та укладення контракту на навчання, а іноді й під час освітнього процесу. Можна лише довіряти (або не довіряти) університетським рейтингам, оцінкам національних органів із контролю якості освіти, які беруть на себе високі витрати вимірювання якості, рекомендаціям фахівців тощо. Крім того, сам ринок освітніх послуг є ринком з асиметричною та неповною інформацією, а його суб’єкти можуть виявляти недобросовісну та опортуністичну поведінку. Наведено фактичні та статистичні дані на підтвердження таких висновків.Автор аналізує спроби акціонування університетів у деяких країнах і пропонує вивчити досвід деприватизації університетів у Польщі. Запровадження нової моделі економічної діяльності університетів потребує також змін у правовому регулюванні та часу для їх усвідомлення суспільством.
