Разработка и апробация методики диагностики способности студентов к инновационной предпринимательской деятельности «СИНПРЕД»

Due to the need to ensure economic growth and improving competitiveness of the Russian economy, the development of youth innovative entrepreneurship is relevant for our country. This requires not only the implementation of appropriate educational programs, but also selection of young people for admission on the basis of an effective assessment of their abilities and readiness to create an innovative business. The goal of the investigation is to design and test psychodiagnostic method that solves the problem of prompt assessment of students’ ability to innovative entrepreneurship. The test SINPRED is elaborated on the basis of the authored by Prokhorova and Belokon model of psychic determinants of effective entrepreneurial activity, connected with innovations. The test contains: instruction, 56 statements, the agreement with which the testee expresses on a seven-rank scale; key of primary data processing; normalized points (stens), worked out for two groups of testees (women and men); manual on processing and interpretation of diagnostics results. For empirical foundation of the methodics indices of students’ behavior, singled out by 5 experts, are used. Verification of discriminatory power, internal consistency, reliability of the test is carried out on the sampling of 180 students. 152 students comprise the sampling for evaluating of methodics validity. For defining the test factor structure and its standardization the results of 308 students questioning are utilized. It is revealed that the created test possesses a high level of discriminatory power and test-retest reliability. All test assignments are correlated with each other. The scales of the methodics have a sufficient level of validity. During the test approbation significant differences between women and men are unveiled on four primary scales: leadership, creativity, nonconformity, early entrepreneurial experience. The acquired differences additionally confirm discriminatory power and criteria validity of the test, and also indicate perspective of scientific investigations, that uncover peculiarities of determination and molding ability to innovative entrepreneurship, conditioned by sex.

Penyuluhan Program Pemberian Makanan Tambahan Lokal sebagai Penanggulangan Stunting di Kota Kediri

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that significantly affects children's growth and development. This community service activity aims to evaluate the impact of education on local Supplementary Feeding (PMT) in combating stunting in Kediri. The method used is education about local PMT as a measure to combat stunting. The study subjects consisted of members of Ibu Persatuan Istri Tentara (Persit) Yonif 521: Dadaha Yodha in Kediri. Data were collected through self-data questionnaires, pretests, and posttests. The results of this activity showed a significant relationship between income, health cadre status, prior knowledge about local PMT and stunting, and the level of knowledge of Ibu Persit members. Moreover, there was an increase in the Ibu Persit member’s knowledge about the role of local PMT in combating stunting and a statistically significant difference in their knowledge levels before and after the education. Education on local PMT has proven effective in enhancing Ibu Persit members' understanding of nutrition and proper dietary practices, contributing to the reduction of stunting prevalence. These findings suggest the need for the widespread implementation of local PMT education programs as a strategy to combat stunting in other areas facing similar problems.

Impact of Human Resource Management on The Implementation of Physical Education Program in Selected Universities in Guizhou Province: Basis for Inputs to Policy Reformulation

This study investigated the impact of human resource management (HRM) strategies on the implementation of Physical Education Programs (PEPs) in selected universities within Guizhou Province, China. Employing a descriptive-correlational research design, data were gathered through self-made questionnaires assessing the implementation of HRM practices and PEPs. The study involved 310 physical education teachers from Guizhou Medical University, Guizhou University, and Guizhou Normal University. Findings revealed moderate to high levels of HRM implementation across various aspects, with room for improvement in employee satisfaction and compensation. Similarly, PEP implementation demonstrated moderate levels across key areas, suggesting opportunities for enhancement. Significant correlations were observed between certain HRM practices, such as performance evaluation, and aspects of PEP implementation, notably curriculum integration. However, other HRM factors showed less substantial impacts on PEP implementation. Based on these findings, recommendations were proposed to optimize HRM practices and improve PEP effectiveness. These included tailored professional development initiatives, revised performance evaluation practices, prioritization of employee satisfaction, enhancement of compensation and benefits, promotion of academic freedom, adoption of a holistic HRM approach, facilitation of collaborative partnerships, and establishment of a culture of continuous improvement and evaluation.

Is the Library a Leisure Centre or a “Humanistic Stronghold of the Nation”?

The Russian Library Association (RLA) Manifesto “Library — a Humanistic Stronghold of the Nation” was adopted at the 24th RLA Annual Conference in Tula (2019). It was planned that the main ideas of this document would be included in the “Concept of the Development of Librarianship in Russia”, becoming the basis for analyzing the ways of development and transformation of the country’s libraries. Of all official documents on librarianship, the clause that “humanism is the world outlook basis of the library profession” is present only in the Code of Ethics of the Russian librarian. This is not enough. The idea of humanism as the basis of the library profession should be concretized in all documents of the branch and included in library textbooks.In Russia, the printed book firmly holds its position, and readers expect from libraries full-fledged collections. The issue of improving bibliographic literacy of users is acute.At the same time, librarian V.K. Stepanov has been trying to replace the essence of the library for the second decade. He proposes to consider it a social institution, deprived of the fund and readers, and to put unrelated tasks before librarians and material and technical base. He sees the purpose of the library in providing the cognitive and creative activity of the community served through the organization of intellectual interaction, the implementation of educational and leisure programmes, the provision of public use of the necessary space, hardware and software tools and access to information sources. From the scientific point of view, this postulate is far from the requirements of logic to the distinctive features of a scientific definition. In numerous articles V.K. Stepanov uses the same arguments, refers to the same facts, far from clarifying the actual situation of the country’s libraries. All of V.K. Stepanov’s theses have long been rejected by the library community.

PENYALAHGUNAAN DANA KARTU INDONESIA PINTAR KULIAH DAN DAMPAKNYA TERHADAP PENDIDIKAN DI INDONESIA

The Indonesian Smart College Card (KIP) scholarship program is a refinement of the Poor Student Assistance (BSM) program which is a scholarship provided by the government to help underprivileged prospective students continue their education. In line with Indonesia's national goal to make the nation's life smarter. The government provides financial assistance in the form of education costs to recipients so that they are used as effectively and efficiently as possible as a form of implementation of the government's 12-year compulsory education program. This research aims to find out the impact and influence of misuse in the implementation of the Smart Indonesia Card (KIP) program. The results of this research state that the use of scholarship funds has been utilized properly, but there are still many perpetrators of violations in the misuse of KIP-K funds which are not in accordance with educational objectives. Environmental influences use funds to fulfill a hedonistic lifestyle, wrongly targeted recipients and obstacles in fulfilling complex requirements and applications.

Effectiveness of Teacher Supervision Practices in the Implementation of the Early Years Education Program

Early Years Education (EYE) is the crucial stage in the child’s physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development. This study, therefore, sought to evaluate the effectiveness of teacher supervision practices in the implementation of the EYE program in the Khwisero Sub-county. The study which targeted key education stakeholders in EYE adopted a cross-sectional survey research design. Stratified random sampling and purposive sampling were used to select 10 schools, 10 head teachers, 10 teachers in charge, 1 program officer, 4 ward representatives and 50 assistant teachers. The questionnaire, interview guide and document analysis guide were used for data collection. Frequency of supervision is key to the effectiveness of teacher supervision practices because it affects the adequacy of teaching resources, the development of necessary learning skills, and effective time management. From the findings, it was noted that there are various areas of teacher supervision, which are not adequately addressed as indicated by some respondents, including teaching and learning resources, time management and teacher professional records. By implementing effective supervisory practices, schools can create an environment that supports high-quality education and fosters continuous improvement in learning outcomes. Preparedness ensures that teachers have the necessary skills, resources, and time management capabilities, hence directly influencing the adequacy of teaching resources, learning skills, and time management. Generally, respondents thought that supervisory practices in place were effective, though the degree or intensity of effectiveness varied. Therefore, the study recommended that Early Childhood Development and Education (ECDE) stakeholders support the supervision initiatives in place for effective curriculum implementation of the EYE program.

Factors associated with age at menarche, menstrual knowledge, and hygiene practices among schoolgirls in Sharjah, UAE

ABSTRACT Age at the onset of menarche is affected by several factors. However, the characterization of such factors in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) remains partly elusive. We investigated the factors influencing the mean menarcheal age in schoolgirls from Sharjah, UAE. We also evaluated the menstrual knowledge and hygiene practices in the study population. We recruited 410 schoolgirls aged 8–17 years in this cross-sectional study. Data were obtained via a self-administered questionnaire. The mean age at menarche was 11.5 years (±1.17 SD) in the study population. A significant correlation was found between lower household income and delayed age at menarche (p = 0.005). Students who were less than 12 years old attained menarche earlier than older students (p = 0.001). Among the participants, 57.7% had good knowledge about menstruation and 54.7% adopted adequate hygiene practices. The mean age at menarche in the UAE is lower than in other Gulf regions. Earlier implementation of menstrual education programmes at schools is recommended.

The impact of entrepreneurship education on students’ desirability and intentions to pursue an entrepreneurial career: a study in general and vocational secondary schools of Cabo Verde

This study aims to evaluate the impact of the Entrepreneurship Curriculum Programme (ECP) on students' entrepreneurial attitudes, perception of social norms and entrepreneurial intentions. This programme was implemented in upper-secondary level classes in Cabo Verde. The study also assesses if the programme has different impacts in different years of schooling and the mediating role of personal factors (gender and family models), teaching factors (differences between general and vocational education) and contextual factors (different island). The research was conducted on six islands in 4 vocational schools and 8 schools of general studies. The research compared the results of two groups: one with 947 students who attended ECP and the other with 1140 students who did not. The findings reveal that ECP impacts all the dimensions considered, the effect is differentiated throughout schooling and that other factors affect students' entrepreneurial attitudes, beliefs and intentions. From the theoretical point of view, the study reinforces the knowledge about the impact of education in entrepreneurship in contexts where there are still few studies—the context of developing countries and the context of secondary education. From a practical point of view, the study provides indications for deepening/improving the design and implementation of entrepreneurship education programmes.

Alfabetización en salud en cáncer de próstata: ¿qué saben los varones españoles sobre el cáncer de próstata? Estudio descriptivo transversal

IntroductionProstate cancer is the tumor with the highest incidence in Spanish men. The implementation of health literacy and therapeutic education programs adapted to the needs of the population could be a resource to minimize the sequelae derived from the treatments used to combat this pathology. To this end, it would be necessary to know the level of health literacy about prostate cancer. ObjectiveTo determine the level of health literacy in prostate cancer in the Spanish male population using the validated version of the PCKQ-12 for the Spanish population. MethodologyCross-sectional, population-based, descriptive study. Spanish-speaking men of legal age were included. To carry out the study, an ad hoc questionnaire was designed on the Google Forms platform, which was distributed via WhatsApp. Previously, it was necessary to validate the PCKQ-12 to the Spanish population in 2phases, a first phase for translation and cross-cultural adaptation and a second phase to test the measurement properties. ResultsThe Spanish version of the PCKQ-12 showed good language, conceptual, semantic and content equivalence and could be used to assess health literacy in prostate cancer. Three hundred and seventy Spanish men with a mean age of 43.87 (SD 13.65) years responded to the questionnaire. The level of prostate cancer health literacy found was low (6.72 points), being 2 points higher in health men. ConclusionHealth literacy about prostate cancer in the Spanish male population is low.

Disinformation and "hate speech" in the online media of Kazakhstan (results of monitoring 2022)

The article examines the problem of using the "language of hostility" and disinformation in the media texts of the Kazakh media, as well as the problem of stuffing fake news during the political events of January 2022 in Kazakhstan. The goals of disinformation are determined and the effects on the mass audience are evaluated. During the tragic events at the beginning of the year, the Internet was turned off in the country, which led to an information vacuum. After the restoration of communication, a stream of fake materials of various formats (audio, video, images and messages on social networks) began, the purpose of which was to incite fears among the population. The platforms WhatsApp, YouTube, Telegram and VKontakte were investigated. Case analysis of texts was also used as part of the analysis. The materials were selected by random sampling. Various criteria were taken into account for the selection of publications, including attendance, the toxicity of comments, the number of articles and posts in online publications and social networks, as well as genres of materials and the presence of elements of hate speech. The purpose of this study is to comprehensively analyze the destructive consequences of disinformation recorded in the Kazakh and Russian media during the attempt to forcibly seize power in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The following methods were used: critical analysis of scientific literature, media monitoring, discourse analysis, and the method of comparative analysis. Case analysis of texts was also used. In 2022, Kazakhstan faced new geopolitical and information challenges: armed border conflicts, disinformation and "hate speech". All these risks have led to an even greater polarization of Kazakh society, socio-political tension and a decrease in the level of trust in the official media. The key factor in changing the situation may be increasing the information literacy of the population and its promotion through cooperation with civil society institutions, the implementation of universal media education programs. Given the volume of data and the amount of information processed, it is difficult to fit the whole situation and analyze how the discourse of "hate speech" and disinformation was built. The repeatedly disseminated unreliable and contradictory information significantly increased the tension of the network media field, contributing to a greater polarization of opinions about the extraordinary event and the aggression of participants in the information exchange.

Expanding the Global Capacity for Childhood Cancer Registration: The ChildGICR Masterclass.

One determinant of the paucity of data on childhood cancer in low- and middle-income countries is the lack of capacity to register these cases. Combining expertise of the Global Initiative for Cancer Registry Development (GICR) and St Jude Global, we developed a ChildGICR educational program to promote data production. We first conducted a needs assessment to identify priority educational topics. Then, we designed the ChildGICR Masterclass, in which individuals with the potential to lead pediatric cancer registration were supported to prepare standard educational material. The outcomes were evaluated using qualitative and quantitative measures. On the basis of indications by 38 GICR collaborators, we identified seven topics relevant to childhood cancer: burden description, registration principles, tumor classification, tumor staging, data quality control, data analysis, and data use. The ChildGICR Masterclass was held online in 2021 over 12 weeks. The 22 nominated participants created presentations in working groups and during live sessions. They also designed future training courses tailored to the needs of their region. Nineteen participants viewed the course experience as excellent, and 20 would continue engagement in the ChildGICR training activities. The developed material was 89% useful according to the faculty of the three online end courses, taught to 88 participants in 16 countries in 2022 and 2023. Among the 75 responding participants, 72 agreed that the learning objectives were attained and 60 were keen to engage in childhood cancer registration activities. The ChildGICR Masterclass participants laid the foundation for a network of trainers. Knowledge dissemination in childhood cancer registration is the first necessary step toward evidence-based cancer control. The ChildGICR Masterclass can serve as a model to design, plan, and implement educational programs for health care professionals.

Evaluating the Implementation of the Pediatric Acute Care Education (PACE) Program in Northwestern Tanzania: A Mixed-Methods Study Guided by Normalization Process Theory.

In low- and -middle-income countries (LMICs) like Tanzania, the competency of healthcare providers critically influences the quality of pediatric care. To address this, we introduced PACE (Pediatric Acute Care Education), an adaptive e-learning program tailored to enhance provider competency in line with Tanzania's national guidelines for managing seriously ill children. Adaptive e-learning presents a promising alternative to traditional in-service education, yet optimal strategies for its implementation in LMIC settings remain to be fully elucidated. This study aimed to (1) evaluate the initial implementation of PACE in Mwanza, Tanzania, using the constructs of Normalization Process Theory (NPT), and (2) provide insights into its feasibility, acceptability, and scalability potential. A mixed-methods approach was employed across three healthcare settings in Mwanza: a zonal hospital and two health centers. NPT was utilized to navigate the complexities of implementing PACE. Data collection involved a customized NoMAD survey, focus groups and in-depth interviews with healthcare providers. The study engaged 82 healthcare providers through the NoMAD survey and 79 in focus groups and interviews. Findings indicated high levels of coherence and cognitive participation, demonstrating that PACE is well-understood and resonates with existing healthcare goals. Providers expressed a willingness to integrate PACE into their practice, distinguishing it from existing educational methods. However, challenges related to resources and infrastructure, particularly affecting collective action, were noted. The short duration of the study limited the assessment of reflexive monitoring, though early indicators point towards the potential for PACE's long-term sustainability. This study offers vital insights into the feasibility and acceptability of implementing PACE in a Tanzanian context. While PACE aligns well with healthcare objectives, addressing resource and infrastructure challenges is crucial for its successful and sustainable implementation. Furthermore, the study underscores the value of NPT as a framework in guiding implementation processes, with broader implications for implementation science and pediatric acute care in LMICs.

Awareness of consanguineous marriage burden and willingness towards premarital genetic testing in Sudan: a national cross-sectional study.

Despite the widespread practice of consanguinity in Sudan, there is a lack of exploration into the community's awareness of its health implications on offspring and their overall attitude towards consanguineous unions. This study aimed to evaluate the community's awareness of the possible health adversities of consanguinity on children and assess the effect of knowledge level on the prevailing attitude towards this practice in Sudan. From August to December 2018, data were collected from adults aged 18 years and above in five provinces of Sudan regardless of their marital status. The analysis involved both descriptive and multivariate statistical techniques. This study revealed a consanguinity rate of 30.2%. Despite a high awareness level (73.7%) regarding the effects of consanguineous marriage on the health of the offspring, a moderately negative attitude towards this practice (63.9%) was observed. The discordance between the high consanguinity rate in the Sudanese population and the moderately negative attitude suggests a potential persistence of this practice in the future. Without the implementation of educational programs and the provision of genetic counselling services to consanguineous couples, the prevalence of consanguinity is likely to endure.
