The young generation is a future leader and the most significant number of voters in the 2024 General Election. In this election, Indonesia will elect the President and his deputy, Members of the People's Representative Council at the national level, Members of the Regional Representative Council, and Members of the Regional Representative Council at the provincial and city levels, Governors and Regents or Mayors at the regional level. General elections will be held on February 14, 2024, and November 27, 2024. However, many people still need to understand the importance of this five-yearly national activity. Many young people are apathetic and do not care about the 2024 elections. This activity aims to provide education and invite young people to participate in the upcoming elections as voters. This service was conducted on 05-06 May 2023 at the Yogyakarta Sultanate Palace's Kidul Square and Mandala Krida Stadium. Based on the implementation of this service, it was found that the millennial generation was interested in participating in the 2024 elections but needed to understand the selected candidates. In addition, most of the audience has been registered as a Final Voter List (DPT). This reality shows that millennials can vote. However, most young people have already chosen the presidential candidate and party. At the same time, there are still many representatives at the national and regional levels who have yet to make their choice.

ALGORITHM OF DEVELOPMENT OF LEADERSHIP QUALITIES IN FUTURE TECHNICAL SPECIALISTS AT THE NATIONAL TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY “KHARKIV POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE”

Abstract: The results of research on the development of leadership qualities in the process of professional training of students of a technical institution of higher education are highlighted in the publication. Special attention is paid to the personality development of the future leader. The results of a pedagogical experiment based on the following conducted methods are highlighted in the article: the method of sociometric measurements, Kettel's multifactorial questionnaire, and the “Personal Differential” test. Based on the results of the analysis of respondents' answers, the main leadership qualities of students were established. The importance of mandatory study of leadership disciplines in a technical institution of higher education has been proven. In the article, a program for the development of leadership qualities of students of a technical orientation was developed and tested in the process of a formative experiment. The results of the control experiment proved the effectiveness of the application of the leadership potential development program in the educational process of professional training of future technical specialists.

From Vassal to Empire: The Metamorphosis of Israel's Leadership and Statehood in Ezekiel 17

This article will focus on Ezekiel 17 to show the metamorphosis in Israel's leadership and statehood evident in Ezekiel's prophecy. In the first part I will discuss Judah's vassal status in the preexilic period as presented in the parable and its interpretation (17:1–21). Next I will examine the messianic figure presented in the prophecy's conclusion (17:22–24) and discuss Ezekiel's depictions of Israel's future leadership and statehood. Both parts will show how the comparative study of ancient Near Eastern writings and iconography, especially the Neo-Babylonian imperial propaganda, may lead to a better understanding of Ezekiel's message. Ezekiel, I will claim, depicts restored Israel as a Babylonia-like empire and its future leader as a great Neo-Babylonian king.

ANALYSIS OF E-MENTORING PLATFORM FOR FUTURE LEADERS’ DEVELOPMENT

Future leaders need to be developed via a variety of techniques. Some government agencies or corporate companies have established and implemented a conventional mentoring programme to prepare a future leader for top-level management. A mentoring programme may increase productivity and occupational satisfaction based on the most recent research. Over time, it can result in the proteges of future leaders. Strong interactions among the mentor and the protege are characteristic of mentoring. Recently, a mentor and protege mutual connection via modern technology-mediated simultaneous learning has emerged as the current strategy for advancing virtual teams and leadership development inside the organisation. By analysing some of the tools, criteria, approaches, and processes of the mentoring platform using technology used by some organisations today in developing an effective future leader, this conceptual paper intends to establish a significant analysis of the review of related literature research on the subject. It does this through a technology-mediated approach and a new resilient and competitive leadership development management.

Research training experience of Vietnamese health sciences undergraduates visiting the Centre for the AIDS Programme of Research in South Africa.

The Centre for the AIDS Programme of Research in South Africa (CAPRISA), performs world-leading research on the epidemiology, pathogenesis, prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and - more recently - COVID-19. A rigorous yet supportive academic culture has nurtured the careers of many successful health sciences researchers, some of whom have worked for the organization since its inception over 20 years ago. This focus on professional development is founded on a training programme that invests heavily in the individual with the payoff of strengthening the science base for HIV and tuberculosis research in South Africa. Those selected for mentorship are typically medical students from the University of KwaZulu-Natal, adjoining the headquarters of CAPRISA in Durban. Increasingly, however, the institute attracts international fellows from partnering organizations to experience the intellectually demanding, scientifically robust, cutting-edge research environment. The purpose of this voices piece is to narrate and critically evaluate the experience from the dual perspectives of host and visitor of a research training programme undertaken by three undergraduate health sciences students from Vietnam, enrolled at VinUniversity. This was the inaugural running of what is expected to be an annual summer trip to CAPRISA by Hanoi-based medical and nursing students. The formative educational experience in best practice tackling of infectious diseases in challenging clinical contexts demonstrated the importance of investing in research placement programmes for public health impact. The exchange has inspired each student to become a future leader in seeking bold, innovative, and strategic approaches to improve global health issues in their home country.

Three years of quality assurance data assessing the performance of over 4000 grant peer review contributions to the Canadian Institutes of Health Research Project Grant Competition

The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) commenced a Quality Assurance Program in 2019 to monitor the quality of peer review in its Project Grant Competition Peer Review Committees. Our primary aim was to describe the performance of CIHR grant peer reviewers, based on the assessments made by CIHR peer review leaders during the first 3 years of the Research Quality Assurance Program. All Peer Review Committee Chairs and (or) Scientific Officers who led peer review for CIHR in 2019, 2020, and 2021 completed Reviewer Quality Feedback forms immediately following Peer Review Committee meetings. The form assessed Performance, Future potential, Review quality, Participation, and Responsiveness. We summarised and descriptively synthesised data from assessments conducted after each of the four grant competitions. The performance of peer reviewers on 4438 occasions was rated by Chairs and Scientific Officers. Approximately one in three peer reviewers submitted outstanding reviews or discussed additional applications and one in 10 demonstrated potential as a future Peer Review Committee leader. At most, one in 20 peer reviewers was considered to have not performed adequately with respect to review quality, participation, or responsiveness. There is a need for more research on the processes involved in allocating research grant funding.

Factors that Influence Followers to Be a Future Ethical Leader

This literature review study connects such elements to relevant ethical theories (such as utilitarianism, libertarianism, Kant's ethical theory, and fairness and justice), focusing on the characteristics that empower people to become future ethical leaders. This research attempts to investigate the idea of ethical leadership, the significance of ethical leadership in an organization, determining components to be an ethical leader, and strategies to turn followers into ethical leaders from the intersection of the literature reviews on ethics and leadership. A major research question directed the study: what are the factors that inspire followers to become future ethical leaders? Based on data found from the various books and articles, different databases and a list of keywords used during the search. According to the research outcomes, two key influences—(a) an individual's moral worldview and (b) organizational culture and ethics—can motivate followers to become moral leaders. Family influences, religious conviction, educational institutions, peer influences, and culture have an impact on an individual's moral philosophy. Besides organizational culture and ethics consists of code of conduct, work-life balance, recruitment procedure, compensation plan, role model, training, and further development. The influencing factors were discussed and recommended further research area. The relevant elements were explored, and further research area was suggested.

Consideraţii privind rolul istoric al aşezămintelor mănăstireşti din Oltenia în opera lui Ion Donat

In this article we presented an aspect of the historiographical concerns belonging to the historian Ion Donat, namely that of detailing the information regarding a place of worship located on the northwestern edge of the city of Craiova, near Jiu. At the same time, in this context, we presented the battle of Creţeşti-Dolj in 1602, with its implications and meanings for how to obtain the royal seat of Wallachia, in the whirlwind of events after the assassination of Michael the Brave, Oltenia being a region involved in the election of the future leader of the medieval Wallachian state.

How many captains for a ship on electoral drift? Limiting the number of leadership candidates in the Flemish Christian-democratic party (CD&V)

Many Western parties have opened up the process of leadership selection to party members under the noble premises to democratize the party. Yet, this might just be window-dressing as party leadership selection is often a coronation rather than an open contest. We argue that the preparation phase preceding the actual election phase is crucial in understanding the balance between the impact of party members and the steering of the party elite. This study compares the preparation phase of two leadership contests after losing elections in one party, the Flemish Christian-democratic party in Belgium: one with a single candidate and one with an exceptionally high number of candidates. Our analysis, based on 22 in-depth elite interviews, demonstrates that leadership elections are influenced by a cluster of different influencing actors, but in particular by what we label the “last person standing” whose candidacy is identified as the most effective mechanism to influence the nomination process. Other (slightly less effective) influencing mechanisms include encouragements, discouragements and the diffusion of an ideal profile for the future party leader.

Using Co-Design To Develop A Hospital-Based Vocational Rehabilitation Intervention For Adults With Acquired Brain Injury

<h3>Research Objectives</h3> Although recommendations are for vocational rehabilitation to commence soon after injury, there are acknowledged challenges to commencing this activity during hospitalisation, when clinical goals are more often centred on basic activities (such as self-care and mobility). This study aimed to develop a vocational rehabilitation intervention for people who have suffered brain injury, that is suitable for delivery in an inpatient rehabilitation setting. <h3>Design</h3> Using an action-research design, this study followed a participatory, intervention mapping approach to develop and pilot the intervention. <h3>Setting</h3> Specialist inpatient brain injury rehabilitation unit, Melbourne, Australia. <h3>Participants</h3> Stakeholder participants included n=14 allied health clinicians (including occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, physiotherapists, clinical and neuropsychologists and social workers) who worked in collaboration with researchers (n=2) to co-design the vocational rehabilitation intervention process. An open invitation was extended to clinicians to participate in the intervention mapping process. <h3>Interventions</h3> Not applicable. <h3>Main Outcome Measures</h3> Systematic literature review identified the barriers and enablers to providing work-focussed interventions in the inpatient setting. Qualitative focus groups and document review were used iteratively to identify intervention objectives and outcomes, before intervention strategies were developed and trialed. <h3>Results</h3> Early vocational rehabilitation interventions should be delivered in partnership with the patient, clinicians, family and their social network (inclusive of the workplace). A comprehensive, five phase program was developed: (i) orientation to the worker role, (ii) building awareness of work activities, (iii) improving core work skills, (iv) improving job-specific skills, (v) discharge planning from the program. <h3>Conclusions</h3> Co design offered an excellent opportunity to develop an intervention which supported an interdisciplinary team to embed vocational rehabilitation into usual hospital-based rehabilitation. <h3>Author(s) Disclosures</h3> Study is funded by the Transport Accident Commission through the small grants scheme.

THE IMPACT OF LEADERSHIP STYLES IN THE DEVELOPMENT

Leadership is the ability to employ managerial competencies to organized performance processes by inspiring, igniting and motivating teams to meet set organizational goals (Kirega, 2008).According to Ogbonnia (2007), an operational map for leadership was drawn along: corporate style, authoritative style, and laissez-faire style. At the organizational level, leadership establishes and transmits to all employees the overarching direction of the organization, as such, developing a better understanding of effective leaders is important for future leader development (Gupta, 2005). The European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM), (2009) defines leadership at the strategic level as "how leaders develop and facilitate the achievement of the mission and vision, develop values required for long-term success and implement these via appropriate actions and behaviors, and are personally involved in ensuring that the organization’s management system is developed and implemented. To maintain a competitive edge, an organization must be able to adapt and change in order to improve processes. Leadership is a key component to achieving these outcomes (Keith, 2009).

Doxorubicin-induced upregulation of follistatin-like 3 (FSTL3): a new therapeutic target

Abstract Introduction Doxorubicin (DOX) is among the most used anticancer drugs with associated cardiotoxicity. Follistatin-like 3 (FSTL3), a secreted member of the follistatins family that can selectively bind to members of the TGF-β superfamily, is involved in regulation of cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. FSTL3 is also upregulated in breast and colorectal cancer tumours, is also an unfavourable prognostic indicator for various cancers. Purpose We aim to determine the dual role of FSTL3 in prevention of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and synergistic anti-cancer effects. Methods Human cardiomyocytes (HCMs) were treated with DOX at 1uM (EC50) for 72 hours. Cell viability was assessed via CellTiter-Glo®. Secreted FSTL3 levels, as measured by ELISA (R&amp;D systems). FSTL3 and TGF-β mRNA levels were measured by qPCR. Co-treatment of DOX with human anti-FSTL3 antibodies (Aviva Systems Biology) at 10ug/mL were introduced for 72hrs treatment. Results Secreted FSTL3 levels were significantly increased in DOX-treated HCMs at 72hrs compared to control (n=5, p&amp;lt;0.001). Consistently, FSTL3 and TGF-β mRNA levels, in collected HCMs were significantly increased in DOX-treated cells. Co-treatment of DOX with human anti-FSTL3 antibodies at 10ug/mL significantly improved HCM viability compared to IgG control group. Conversely, anti-FSTL3 antibodies provided synergistic anti-cancer effects with DOX: MCF-7 breast cancer cells were significantly reduced when co-treated with DOX and anti-FSTL3 antibody vs. IgG controls. Conclusion We show, for the first time, that: 1) FSTL3 is secreted directly from HCMs; 2) FSTL3 levels (both circulating and mRNA) is markedly elevated with DOX treatment; 3) neutralisation of FSTL3 in DOX-treated HCMs, restored HCM viability; and 4) exhibit synergistic anti-cancer effects with DOX. Taken together, FSTL3 is a potential target for dual anti-cancer and cardioprotective effects. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding sources: Public grant(s) – National budget only.

Heart failure is associated with low circulating levels of secreted frizzled receptor protein 5 (Sfrp5)

Abstract Background/Introduction Obesity and metabolic dysregulation are closely associated with the pathophysiology of multiple cardiovascular diseases (CVD). To date, the pathophysiological mechanism(s) of obesity and its link with cardiovascular systems remain largely unknown. Adipose tissue inflammation as a result of excessive fat expansion in obesity, leading to increased systemic production of growth factors and recruitment of inflammatory cells have been postulated to be a major factor. Secreted frizzled-related protein 5 (SFRP5) is an anti-inflammatory adipokine that is linked with obesity and metabolic regulation and has been indicated to affect cardiovascular functions. Currently, the role of circulating SFRP5 levels as a biomarker for cardiovascular diseases are poorly understood, with studies yielding discordant results. Purpose This study aims to evaluate the relationship between circulating SFRP5 and cardiovascular functions in a cohort of patients with established CVD. Methods Patients (n=262, 148 male (56.5%), age (68±11 yrs)) presenting to the cardiology unit for cardiovascular investigations were recruited into the study. Plasma SFRP5 levels were measured via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Associations between plasma SFRP5 levels, cardiovascular functions, and patients' co-morbidities were analysed using univariate and multivariate analyses. Results Plasma SFRP5 levels were significantly lower in patients presenting with: heart failure (HF) vs non-HF (median; (10.7 vs 31.0; p&amp;lt;0.001); coronary artery disease (CAD) vs non-CAD; (11.0 vs 33.8; p&amp;lt;0.001); and atrial fibrillation (AF) vs non-AF; (11.2 vs 23.2; p=0.001). On univariate analyses, SFRP5 levels also significantly positively correlated with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (r=0.52, p&amp;lt;0.001), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (r=0.16, p=0.02), total cholesterol levels and triglycerides (r=0.29, p&amp;lt;0.001; r=0.17, p&amp;lt;0.01 respectively). Low SFRP5 levels were correlated with high C-reactive protein (CRP) and E/E' (r=−0.29, p&amp;lt;0.001, r=−0.30, p&amp;lt;0.001, respectively). Patients with HF, CAD, statin use, low LVEF, low triglycerides, high CRP and high eGFR were associated with lower SFRP5 levels independent of age, BMI or diabetes on multivariate analysis (overall model r=0.729, SE=0.638). Conclusion Our results show that low plasma SFRP5 levels are independently associated with HF, CAD, and impaired systolic and diastolic functions. These results suggest that SFRP5 may regulate cardiovascular functions independent of obesity and metabolic regulations.

Philosophical-Psychological, Pedagogical-Managerial Aspects of "Qualitative" Formation of Future Specialists of All Levels of Training and Specialties in the Conditions of Technical University

The study is devoted to such topical issues in the theory and methodology of education and pedagogy of higher education as the training of future leaders, namely the formation and development of leadership qualities of students in technical universities. On the topic of the study, the authors analyzed the literature of leading scientists in the field of philosophy, psychology and pedagogy, identified features of the formation of leadership in the student environment. The study reveals the seven most important criteria that form the core of the personality of the future specialist leader. The use of these seven criteria of personality development of the future specialist in technical universities requires a combination and adaptation of traditional approaches to education and the latest pedagogical technologies. This is aimed not just at introducing certain forms and methods of work into the educational process, but at creating a specially organized professional environment in which future professionals have opportunities for professional and personal growth through conscious change and transformation of both the environment and themselves. In the process of personal change, the student's historical "I" is as close as possible to his logical "I" and is held by the latter with the help of Onto In-Se. This is how the future specialist acquires leadership qualities, first of all: cognitive, communicative, organizational, moral and volitional and reflexive skills. It is established that through the development of conceptual and creative thinking of the student it is possible to influence the formation of his critical "I" as a necessary attribute of leadership: the ability to listen and hear, understand and act.
