Status and practices of digitisation in Kuwaiti academic libraries

Digitisation offers many advantages for academic libraries. This study explores the status and practices of digitisation in Kuwaiti academic libraries, and librarians’ perceived importance of digitisation. The survey method was employed, and a questionnaire was used to collect data from four universities and two other higher education institutions; one academic institution did not participate due to administrative procedural requirements. All professional librarians from these institutions were invited to participate, 81 responses (65%) were received. The results demonstrated that current digitisation projects focus most on digitising magazines, books, periodicals, dissertations and theses, photographs, and university publications. The respondents reported a moderate level of satisfaction with digitisation projects and attached a high level of importance to starting digitisation projects. This might reflect a high level of awareness among librarians regarding the challenges encountered and their potential solutions. Copyright issues, staff training, and funding were among the top five challenges and suggestions for improving digitisation projects. Several recommendations were suggested based on the results obtained to enhance digitisation in Kuwaiti academic libraries, such as more effort on the part of academic libraries into planning digitisation projects.

More formal educational sessions on hand hygiene should be provided to prevent healthcare-associated infection and promote clinical outcomes. Keywords: Hand-hygiene, Nurses, Physicians, Jordan.

Assessment of Employable Skills of Management Students in University of Cape Coast

Graduate employability has become a rising concern among stakeholders. The study assessed final year management students’ level of employable skills in University of Cape Coast, Ghana, to determine whether they were able to acquire the required employable skills by the end of their study. The study adopted a quantitative approach to research and descriptive survey research design to find out the perceptions of supervisors and employees regarding the employable skills that are important for management graduates and thereafter measured the level of importance the students attached to those employable skills and their self-perceived level of possession of those employable skills. Proportionate stratified sampling technique was adopted. In all, 64 supervisors, 64 employees and 89 final year management students responded to the survey. Data were collected using questionnaires on a 5-point Likert scale. Mean, standard deviation and Mann- U test were used to analyse the data. The study found that both supervisors and employees attached a high level of importance to the employable skills even though there was a statistically significant difference in perceptions between the supervisors and students. The study also found that the students’ level of possession of those skills was high. The study concluded that the management students’ level of employable skills was high. Stronger partnerships between academia and industry geared towards curriculum development to further enhance students’ employability was recommended.

The article is devoted to solving a relevant scientific and practical problem - the development of a mathematical model for calculating the value of information of the institution. The following concepts are interpreted: the value of information, the level of importance of information, the time of final aging of information and the level of ownership of information used in research on the object of information protection. The indicators by which it is proposed to determine the value of information are considered in detail and its dependence on such indicators is shown. It is proposed to calculate the value of information as the average value of the sum of the relevant coefficients. Each of the selected coefficients is calculated using the ranking method. The importance of the relevant information indicator is determined in accordance with the requirements of the guidance documents on the organization of information security or a specially created group of experts. It is proposed to use the following coefficients: the coefficient of influence of the level of access to information, the coefficient of influence of the time of final aging of information, the coefficient of influence of information importance and the coefficient of influence of the right to information. The adequacy of the mathematical model for calculating the value of information of the institution was checked. It is established that the information that has the highest level of restriction of access, the highest level of importance and the right to information belongs to the state, has the greatest value for the institution. An example is given in which a list of information that needs protection in the institution is compiled and the value of information from this list is calculated. The mathematical model of calculating the value of the institution's information allows you to justify the need to take additional measures to improve the comprehensive system of information protection in the institution's automated systems and to better approach the issue of forming a model of information threats in information and telecommunication systems. Keywords: value of information; ownership of information; time of final aging of information; level of importance of information.

Implementation of the Global Reporting Initiative Social Sustainability Indicators: A Multi-Case Study Approach Using Brazilian Construction Companies

This study aims to assess the applicability and adherence to social sustainability indicators by large and medium-sized construction companies in Pernambuco, Brazil. The study measures the importance and influence of these indicators in companies’ decision-making processes. The social indicators from the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) were selected as they come from a globally recognized and widespread organization. The research focuses on nine companies by conducting semi-structured interviews, site visits, and data validation through observations. The results indicate that most of the indicators were considered to have a high level of importance. However, these indicators are not as influential in decision-making as their importance suggests they should be. Currently, only 26% of the indicators are being measured by the companies, covering only three of the 19 GRI categories. The categories reported are occupational safety and health, local communities, and customer privacy. Most companies would be able to report the other 16 categories with minimal additional effort. A prioritization matrix is presented according to the importance and influence of the indicators and the effort to implement them. Overall, this study reveals that companies could easily measure most social sustainability indicators, making it possible to implement more sustainable decisions with less effort.

Examining the role of microfinance: a creating shared value perspective

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to simultaneously examine the role of microfinance from the business and social lenses by using the creating shared value (CSV) framework by Porter and Kramer (2011) in the context of Indonesia.Design/methodology/approachA survey among more than 170,000 borrowers of two specific credit schemes by PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia Tbk., the largest microfinance provider in Indonesia, was conducted to understand the perceptions of borrowers on the benefits of microcredit under the CSV framework.FindingsThe result confirms that, overall, the debtors acknowledged the importance of the loans in various aspects of CSV. The highest levels of importance were recorded in the case of stimulating the increase of business revenue growth, business productivity and fulfilling the needs of consumers. Disaggregating the results based on respondents’ demographic characteristics, it is shown that the findings in both credit schemes have a relatively similar pattern in terms of origin, business sectors and the borrowing purpose from.Originality/valueThere have been limited studies that examine the impact of microfinance from both the business and social perspectives. Most studies only use one of these. Implementing the CSV framework allows the authors to fill in the gap and understand how microfinance provides business and social benefits.

Basic Values Transform Political Interest into Diverse Political Values, Attitudes and Behaviors

Since politically interested adolescents do not necessarily present humanistic, environmental and democratic values, this study addresses the hitherto ignored role that how these basic human values play in politically interested adolescents’ political values, attitudes and behaviors. A cluster analysis of 857 Swedish upper-secondary students (50.8% girls, Mage = 16.62, SD = 0.71) identified politically interested adolescents who attached high levels of importance to others’ welfare and politically interested adolescents who attached low levels of importance. They differed on most comparative measures: environmental values, inclusive attitudes towards immigrants, support of democratic principles, trust in social movements, and readiness to step in if something jeopardizes the welfare of others. The conclusion is that the value of attaching high importance to others’ welfare or not transforms youth’s political interest into diverse attitudes and behaviors. The cluster group of politically interested adolescents who attached low importance to others’ welfare largely consisted of males.

Program Design Implications from International Business Majors’ Goals Before and After Undergraduate Study

ABSTRACT Understanding students’ post-graduation goals is important because it aids faculty and administrators in course and program design, mentoring, and generally serving students. Using a sample of almost 513,000 undergraduates from more than 600 colleges and universities, we examine goals and plans of international business majors. Students were surveyed near matriculation and graduation. First, responses of international business majors are presented. Then, goals of these students are compared to others, both other business majors and non-business majors. Finally, logistic regression analysis is used to estimate how different the typical goals of international business majors are from other students after controlling for demographics, background, and collegiate experiences. Nine different post-graduation goals are examined, including those pertaining to further education, future job characteristics, travel, personal wealth, and altruistic aspirations. Results indicate that IB students, on average, place a high level of importance on numerous goals, more so than other business students in most cases. The impacts of IB education on student goals are found to vary little across the type of institution attended. Misalignment between IB students’ goal prioritization and careers in the field motivates a discussion of areas with potential for improvement in IB programs.

Evaluation of predictive models to determine total morbidity outcome of feedlot cattle based on cohort-level feed delivery data during the first 15 days on feed.

Changes in feeding behavior and intake have been used to predict the onset of bovine respiratory disease in individual animals but have not been applied to cohort-level data. Correctly identifying high morbidity cohorts of cattle early in the feeding period could facilitate the administration of interventions to improve health and economic outcomes. The study objective was to determine the ability of feed delivery data from the first 15 days of feed to predict total feeding period morbidity. Data consisted of 518 cohorts (10 feedlots, 56,796 animals) of cattle of varying sex, age, arrival weight, and arrival time of year over a 2-year period. Overall cohort-level morbidity was classified into high (≥15% total morbidity) or low categories with 18.5% of cohorts having high morbidity. Five predictive models (advanced perceptron, decision forest, logistic regression, neural network, and boosted decision tree) were created to predict overall morbidity given cattle characteristics at arrival and feeding characteristics from the first 15 days. The dataset was split into training and testing subsets (75% and 25% of original, respectively), stratified by the outcome of interest. Predictive models were generated in Microsoft Azure using the training set and overall predictive performance was evaluated using the testing set. Performance in the testing set (n = 130) was measured based on final accuracy, sensitivity (Sn, the ability to accurately detect high morbidity cohorts), and specificity (Sp, the ability to accurately detect low morbidity cohorts). The decision forest had the highest Sp (97%) with the greatest ability to accurately identify low morbidity lots (103 of 106 identified correctly), but this model had low Sn (33%). The logistic regression and neural network had similar Sn (both 63%) and Sp (69% and 72%, respectively) with the best ability to correctly identify high morbidity cohorts (15 of 24 correctly identified). Predictor variables with the greatest importance in the predictive models included percent change in feed delivery between days and 4-day moving averages. The most frequent variable with a high level of importance among models was the percent change in feed delivered from d 2 to 3 after arrival. In conclusion, feed delivery data during the first 15 days on feed was a significant predictor of total cohort-level morbidity over the entire feeding period with changes in feed delivery providing important information.

Institutional Development in the Supply Chain System of Oil Palm Agroindustry in South Kalimantan

Developing oil palm agroindustry in South Kalimantan involves internal and external factors for its sustainability. The long distance of each stakeholder requires a digitally connected system. The research aimed at identifying criteria, sub-criteria, and alternatives in the developed network model, determine the sensitivity to determine the relevance of actor's role, determine the effectiveness and efficiency before and after implementation of the system, and analyse the level of certainty and importance of assumptions developed. The methods used were surveys, focus group discussions, and questionnaires. Experts in the Analytical Network Process (ANP) method were from academia, business, society and government. Supply Chain Operation Reference (SCOR) method to analyse supply chain performance involved 178 respondents. The level of certainty and importance of assumptions was with Strategic Assumption Surfacing and Testing (SAST). The results of the analysis show there was an interdependence between the sub-criteria on the specified criteria and alternatives applied to achieve the goals. Pairwise comparisons showed the highest sub-criteria cluster was the replanting program with a weight of 0.662, for alternative cluster the highest priority weight in the system involving all actors playing a role was 0.391, with relevant sensitivity test results. The results of the analysis of effectiveness and efficiency before and after implementation of the system showed an increase in SCOR value for all actors. The results of SAST analysis were in Quadrant I with the highest level of importance and certainty of 7.6 meaning very important and certain. The implications of the research results can be seen in fostering the use of technology in realizing transparency, especially regarding the price, quality, and traceability of fresh fruit bunches, the realization of a monitoring system for policymakers and capital assistance for independent oil palm smallholders.

Employability Skills in the TVET Trainer Training Program: The perception Between Experienced Trainers and Novices Trainers

This paper is aimed to determine the importance of employability skills among experienced and novice trainers in the TVET trainer training program. This is due to, some employers reported TVET graduates' lack of employability skills and facing difficulties to fulfill the current employment demands and professional expectations needed by industries (e.g., people management skills, communication skills, interpersonal skills, teamwork, professionalism, knowledge, and principles, problem-solving skills, and decision-making skills). A survey questionnaire was distributed during the TVET training program. A total of Experienced Trainers (n=34) and Novice trainers (n=137) were participating in this study. This study ranked the 25 abilities/items according to eight main constructs of employability skills based on a score ranging from (1) – to (5). The findings indicated that there is a different rank of employability skills between experienced and novice trainers. From these findings, it shows that communication skills, teamwork skills, self-discipline skills, and interpersonal skills are equally perceived to have a high importance level (top 4 highest) by both experienced trainers and novice trainers, while leadership skills, learning skills, and conceptual skills are equally perceived to have a lower importance level according to both experienced trainers and novice trainers. This calls for the planning of a specific curriculum that can be integrated into the TVET trainer training curriculum. It is necessary to transform the educational institutes into lifelong education centers to facilitate this employability skills formation among the graduates. In embedding the employability skills into the curriculum, teaching, learning, and assessment processes, steps must be taken to ensure that there is a constructive alignment between them. The desired employability skills should be made explicit through the learning outcomes of the modules that lead to high academic standards, leadership, industry-defined work readiness, and advanced and continuing education.

Self-Rated Health Among Italian Immigrants Living in Norway: A Cross-Sectional Study.

BackgroundMost studies on immigrant health focus on immigrant groups coming from extra-European and/or low-income countries. Little attention is given to self-rated health (SRH) in the context EU/EEA migration. To know more about health among European immigrants can provide new insights related to social determinants of health in the migration context. Using the case of Italian immigrants in Norway, the aim of this study was to (i) examine the levels of SRH among Italian immigrants in Norway as compared with the Norwegian and the Italian population, (ii) examine the extent to which the Italian immigrant perceived that moving to Norway had a positive or negative impact on their SRH; and (iii) identify the most important factors predicting SRH among Italian immigrants in Norway.MethodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted among adult Italian immigrants in Norway (n = 321). To enhance the sample's representativeness, the original dataset was oversampled to match the proportion of key sociodemographic characteristics of the reference population using the ADASYN method (oversampled n = 531). A one-sample Chi-squared was performed to compare the Italian immigrants' SRH with figures on the Norwegian and Italian populations according to Eurostat statistics. A machine-learning approach was used to identify the most important predictors of SRH among Italian immigrants.ResultsMost of the respondents (69%) rated their SRH as “good” or “very good”. This figure was not significantly different with the Norwegian population, nor to the Italians living in Italy. A slight majority (55%) perceived that their health would have been the same if they continued living in Italy, while 23% perceived a negative impact. The machine-learning model selected 17 variables as relevant in predicting SRH. Among these, Age, Food habits, and Years of permanence in Norway were the variables with the highest level of importance, followed by Trust in people, Educational level, and Health literacy.ConclusionsItalian immigrants in Norway can be considered as part of a “new mobility” of high educated people. SHR is shaped by several interconnected factors. Although this study relates specifically to Italian immigrants, the findings may be extended to other immigrant populations in similar contexts.

Parental Bonding and Relationships with Friends and Siblings in Adolescents with Depression.

According to attachment theory, the quality of the early child-parent bond determines the child’s interpersonal relationships later in life. Utilising data from The First Experimental Study of Transference Work-In Teenagers (FEST-IT), the current paper investigated the connection between the self-reported quality of bonding with mother and father and the self-reported importance of relationships with friends and siblings in adolescents with depression. The scales employed were the Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI) and the Adolescent Relationship scale (ARS). A Pearson’s correlation tested the relationship between the reported levels of maternal and paternal care and control, and the reported importance of friendship and relationship with siblings. Results revealed a statistically significant negative correlation between high levels of maternal control and importance of friendship, and a statistically significant positive correlation between high levels of paternal care and importance of relationships with siblings. The results are in line with Bowlby’s theory of attachment.

The Assessment of Waste Segregation Exercise Among Malaysian Contractors: A Descriptive Analysis

Construction waste that emerges from construction sites has become a major global concern due to its negative carbon footprint on the environment. Due to underrepresented construction waste specific data in Malaysia, this paper aims to identify sources, causes, types of construction waste and decision-making factors of construction waste management in Malaysia's construction sites. A questionnaire survey was administered to 60 construction practitioners representing different construction sites in Peninsular Malaysia. A descriptive analysis using the Relative Importance Index (RII) was used to rank the items asked in the survey and categorised them into high (RII>70%), medium (50%<RII<70%) or low (RII<50%) importance levels. The findings show that the top-ranked sources of construction waste categorised as high importance level are demolition, site clearance, and refurbishment. The causes, insufficient construction waste management plan, incorrect materials, design changes, over-ordering, errors in the contract document, and on-site technical errors are ranked as highly important. The top common waste materials include concrete, brick, metal, wood, glass and paper. The importance of all decision-making factors is high-rated; unexpectedly, environmental impact is the least important reason for construction waste management contractors. The results provide a perspective of the current practices of construction waste in Malaysia. The outcome is useful for waste managers and policymakers in developing potential waste management strategies for a more sustainable construction industry.

9 Evaluation of Predictive Models to Determine Total Morbidity Outcome of Feedlot Cattle Based on Pen-Level Feed Delivery Data During the First 15 Days on Feed

Abstract Changes in feeding behavior and intake have been used to identify bovine respiratory disease in individual animals, but not at the pen level. Correctly identifying high morbidity pens early in the feeding period could facilitate interventions to improve health and economic outcomes. The objective was to determine the ability of feed delivery data from the first 15 d on feed to predict total feeding period morbidity. Data consisted of 518 pens (10 feedlots, 56,796 animals). Overall morbidity was classified into high (>15% total morbidity) or low categories with 18.5% of pens having high morbidity. Five predictive algorithms (advanced perceptron, decision forest, logistic regression, neural network, and boosted decision tree) were utilized to predict overall morbidity given arrival (body weight, timing, gender) and feeding characteristics. The dataset was split into training (75%) and testing (25%) subsets. Algorithms were generated in Microsoft Azure and evaluated based on accuracy, sensitivity (Sn, the ability to accurately detect high morbidity pens), and specificity (Sp, the ability to accurately detect low morbidity pens). The decision forest had the highest Sp (97%) with the greatest ability to accurately identify low morbidity lots (103 of 106 identified correctly), but this model had low Sn (33%). The logistic regression and neural network had good Sn (both 63%) with the best ability to correctly identify high morbidity lots (15 of 24 correctly identified), but a decreased Sp (69 and 72%, respectively). Three models provided feature importance data demonstrating that percent change in feed delivery between days and over 4-d moving averages were of great importance. The most frequent variable with a high level of importance among models was the percent change from d 2 to 3 after arrival. In conclusion, feed delivery data during the first 15 d on feed was an important predictor of total pen-level morbidity.
