Increase In Prestige Research Articles

Efforts to Improve Science Learning Achievement of Grade IX A Students of SMP Negeri 3 Sewon Using the Multy Representacy (DMR) Discourse Model for the 2021/2022 Academic Year

This study aims to improve natural science (IPA) learning achievement using the Multy Reprecentacy (DMR) Discourse learning model. This study is a class action research conducted with two (2) cycles. Each cycle consists of three (3) meetings, namely two (2) meetings for the learning process and one (1) meeting for achievement tests that are done independently. Each cycle follows the stages of the Kemmis and Taggart model which includes four components: planning, action, observation and reflection. The data collected in this study is the result of research related to the implementation of learning using the Multy Reprecentacy (DMR) Discourse model on natural science (IPA) material. Data collection techniques use test and non-test techniques with descriptive and qualitative approaches. The results showed that the use of the Multy Reprecentacy (DMR) Discourse model in natural science learning activities can improve student achievement. This increase in prestige is the effect of better and conductive teaching and learning activities of teachers and students. The success of this increase in learning achievement can be seen from the increase in learning achievement scores after conducting achievement tests with the "Multy Reprecentacy (DMR) Discourse" model, compared to learning using the lecture method. So learning using the "Multy Reprecentacy (DMR) Discourse" model, is proven to increase the achievement of science (science) for junior high school students.

ДИФЕРЕНЦІАЦІЯ ПІДХОДІВ ДО УПРАВЛІННЯ КАДРОВИМ ПОТЕНЦІАЛОМ ГОТЕЛЬНОЇ СФЕРИ В УМОВАХ ЗОВНІШНІХ ВИКЛИКІВ

The article mentions that in today's difficult conditions, approaches to personnel management should be changed. It is described that each innovation is aimed at facilitating the work of employees, improving the provision of services and attracting new guests. The driving force behind the implementation of such innovations is the personnel and their personnel potential. However, in the context of changes in society's demands for the quality and range of hotel services and a highly competitive business environment, hotel managers and HR specialists are faced with an additional difficulty: they have to form teams of employees belonging to different generations with different expectations and work methods. This greatly complicates the selection of personnel, team formation, selection of training and motivation programs for employees, which became the main task investigated in this article. The article states that the sphere of the hotel industry is primarily the sphere of services, the quality of which directly depends on the efficiency of the company's personnel. In such conditions, in our opinion, one of the effective tools that help to understand the fundamental values of people of different ages is the Theory of Generations. The article examines the concept of "quarantine hotels", which were reoriented for temporary accommodation of persons forced to stay in quarantine. These and other studies show that negative changes in the external environment of the hotel business have brought new trends in the system of managing the motivation of personnel potential. In particular, a new norm has appeared - social responsibility in the conditions of quarantine restrictions. This led to an increase in prestige and respect for hotel workers. In other words, the image of the hospitality sector has improved somewhat in terms of the professional identity of the industry, which has become more socially significant in today's society, given the high-risk work environment. In order to ensure the efficiency and coherence of the work of any company of the XXI century. and the development of a new motivation system that takes into account the unstable external environment, the theory of generations should be taken into account and used to obtain a positive result of the hotel business enterprise.

Prestige and relevance of the scholarly journals: Impressions of SIOP members

AbstractPrestigious journals are widely admired for publishing quality scholarship, yet the primary indicators of journal prestige (i.e., impact factors) do not directly assess audience admiration. Moreover, the publication landscape has changed substantially in the last 20 years, with electronic publishing changing the way we consume scientific research. Given that it has been 18 years since the publication of the last journal prestige survey of SIOP members, the authors conducted a new survey and used these results to reflect on changing practices within industrial and organizational (I-O) psychology. SIOP members (n = 557) rated the prestige and relevance of I-O and management journals. Responses were analyzed according to job setting, and were compared to a survey conducted by Zickar and Highhouse (2001) in 2000. There was considerable consistency in prestige ratings across settings (i.e., management department vs. psychology department; academic vs. applied), especially among the top journals. There was considerable variance, however, in the perceived usefulness of different journals. Results also suggested considerable consistency across the two time periods, but with some increases in prestige among OB-oriented journals. Changes in the journal landscape are discussed, including the rise of OHP as a topic of concentration in I-O. We suggest that I-O programs will continue to attract the top researchers in talent management and OHP, which should result in the use of a broader set of journals for judging I-O program impact.

Types and ways of modernization in a context of the international experience

Results of the researches of productive and economic systems of a number of the countries are stated in this paper. Types and ways of modernization of these systems taking into account the choice of development model of society are presented. Process regularity of international modernization, including Russia is specified. The immediacy of the problem of modernization as sets of technological, economic, cultural, political changes is proved. The listed changes are directed to the improvement of social system, cultural and educational level of the population and to the increase in prestige of the country in general. Qualitative differences between the eastern ("Asian") and western ("European") ways of modernization are given. The objective reasons of differences in character, rates, efficiency of implementation of political modernization in post-socialist societies are the level of political stability in society, presence of the reformatory elite interested in political and innovative development strategies of society, and cultural traditions. Stages and prerequisites of production modernization are considered. The questions describing participants of the process, their competences and professional standard are shown. The quality of education of leading representatives was and remains the major indicator defining long-term development of society. Examples of implementation of the international educational projects are given.

Prestige and Loan Pricing

We find that prestigious companies pay lower spreads and upfront fees on their loans despite the fact that prestige does not predict default risk over the life of the loan. Using survey data on firm-level prestige, we show that a one standard deviation increase in prestige reduces loan spreads by 6.18% per year and upfront fees by 22.86%. We identify causal effects (i) using fraud by industry peers as an instrument for borrower prestige and (ii) exploiting a regression discontinuity around rank 100 of the prestige survey. Banks that lend to prestigious firms attract more business afterwards compared to otherwise similar institutions. Moreover, the effect of prestige on upfront fees is particularly strong for new bank relationships. Our findings suggest that prestigious firms receive cheaper funding because the associated lending relationship helps banks establish valuable credentials they use to compete for future borrowers.

Merger Motives For U.S. Utility Acquirers: Evidence From Performance, Risk Metrics, And Executive Compensation

We study post-acquisition performance of US public utilities that acquired other US exchange listed firms during 1996?2002. We find that acquirer shareholders do not gain any abnormal returns from the acquisition over the two years following the acquisition and there are no unexpected gains in the underlying operating performance of the acquirers. We also find that while stock acquirers show a decrease in post-acquisition performance, their CEO salary increases relative to the industry. This suggests that method of payment may be an important factor in discerning the motivation for an acquisition. Lack of clarity regarding effects of a complex process like an acquisition, for shareholders and perhaps the even the management, combined with potential increase in prestige and salary for the management, may be the motivation for M&A activity in stock mergers. Cash acquirers may be more careful and consequently do not show subsequent underperformance.

European Managerial Perceptions of the Net Benefits of Foreign Stock Listings

This study surveys the European managers on the costs, benefits, and net benefits of foreign listing. Increase in prestige and visibility, and growth in shareholders are perceived as the major benefits, and the costs of public relations and legal fees are cited as the major costs by the managers. While a majority of managers (60%) perceive that benefits outweigh the costs of foreign listing, about 30% also view the net benefits to be negative. Perceived net benefits are positively related to the increase in the total trading volume after foreign listing, the financial disclosure levels of the firm, and the dual listing on both the US and European foreign exchanges. Without the influence of these factors, the perceived net benefits are negative.

ACTS OF ADMONITION AND REBUKE: A SPEECH ACT APPROACH TO 1 CORINTHIANS 6:1-11

AbstractThis paper attempts a reading of 1 Cor. 6:1-11 primarily from the perspective of speech act theory. The approach, however, will be augmented by insights from a variety of methodological perspectives. The conclusions of social scientists about honor-shame and patron-client relationships will permit conclusions about Paul's loss of institutional status. Determining the language and genre of 1 Corinthians and locating it in the context of exhortation, paraenesis and apologia is also useful. Ascertaining the social structure of the congregation in Corinth, as based on various sociological studies, permits the conclusion that secular models of leadership had infiltrated the congregation. Status-conscious members of the congregation were seeking to enhance their reputation in the community by taking each other to secular courts. Lawsuits were, in effect, social competitions for incremental increases in prestige through the game of challenge and riposte. Collectively, the litigious behaviour of the congregants also represented an aggressive public challenge that damaged Paul's achieved honor as founding father. In order to regain his status in the community and have it publicly recognised, Paul engaged in retaliatory verbal sallies—he rebuked and admonished them.

Faculty And Graduate Student Generated Inventions: Is University Ownership A Legal Certainty?

As federal and state funding for academic institutions becomes more difficult to procure, colleges and universities have sought new ways to generate revenue. A source of potential income is money generated from licensing agreements or assignments of faculty and graduate student generated inventions. In just over a decade royalty income from faculty generated inventions increased nearly 40-fold, from $7 million to over $260 million. The latest figures indicate that during the fiscal year 1993 the top ten institutions in licensing royalties received a total of $170 million. While this number is small compared to the total amount of revenue required to run a major college or university, it is not insignificant, especially considering that many universities have only recently begun to institute policies that allow for patenting and transfer of technology derived from faculty research. The economic incentive, coupled with any increase in prestige that accrues to a university that successfully commercializes a product derived from one of its own, provides a significant inducement to patent and license inventions generated by faculty research. In their haste to commercialize the fruits of academic labor, many universities have simply assumed that any invention generated by its employees, especially faculty and graduate students, is property of the university. This article attempts to outline some of the legal aspects of ownership with respect to faculty generated inventions. There are three areas of the law which deal with ownership issues in this context: common law ownership, pre-employment assignment agreements and federal and state legislative initiatives. Although it appears to this author that the common law decisions concerning ownership of employee generated inventions culminating in Dubilier is the most equitable solution to the ownership problem, the truth is that pre- employment assignments, university policy, and state and federal statute are controlling. There is little doubt that a pre-employment assignment of intellectual property rights from faculty to university will be enforceable absent unconscionable or coercive acts by the university. Overreaching, assignment of any and all inventions, is likely permissible in the absence of a state statute to the contrary. Federal statute likely does not preclude faculty ownership of inventions derived from federal funding, but in the absence of case law there is no guidance as to how the law might be interpreted.

Effects of Additional Men on Prestige and Desirability of Occupations Typically Performed by Women

To examine the effects of masculine participation in occupations typically performed by women, 200 subjects rated the prestige and desirability of five occupations following information that proportions of male practitioners would increase or remain constant Findings showed that increased participation by men increased the prestige and desirability of all occupations. Ratings on 12 bipolar adjective scales from the semantic differential showed that increases in prestige and desirability were accompanied by attributions of increased activity, security, usefulness, success, and wealth to occupations admitting additional men.
