Institutional space of sustainable development: Structure, motives, and conditions of development in Ukraine

The massive destructive processes and security challenges faced by Ukraine in defending its right to choose a development model have heightened the problem of defining institutional conditions for the structural transformation of the economy and aligning its parameters with sustainable development priorities. The purpose of this study was to model scenarios for the development of the business environment under various types of institutional structures and to determine the possibility of creating an institutional basis for Ukraine’s sustainable development in the face of global security challenges. The study was based on the conceptual framework of the institutional environment. The study identified institutional gaps in the business environment that distort the motivational foundation of Ukraine’s sustainable development concept and lead to the dominance of corrupt elements in the decisions and actions of economic actors. The consequences of the influence of extractive institutional factors on the choice of behaviour strategies by economic entities were systematised. The study characterised the differences in the impact of extractive and inclusive institutions on economic processes. Using the motivation vectors of business representatives, government authorities, and the public, scenarios for the development of the business environment were modelled, and their results were presented from the perspective of sustainable development goals. The concept of developing an environment of “entrepreneurial inclusivity” as an institutional basis for sustainable development was conceptualised, emphasising its role as a stimulator of proactive and effective innovative activities. The goals of developing innovative infrastructure were defined as a set of institutions of collective action that enable the reduction of risks in the innovative activities of enterprises and enhance their efficiency. The conditions under which the business community will be motivated to develop such institutions were identified. The role of civil organisations in institutional change processes and the development of institutions of collective action was emphasised. The findings of this study have practical significance for shaping the institutional mechanism to implement innovation and technological structural shifts in Ukraine’s economy in the context of sustainable development goals during its post-war revival

STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION

Schools as a leading institution in carrying out the development of the quality of education must be able to provide the right capacity in creating good graduates, for that we need an appropriate management model so that schools can carry out their functions properly. Efforts to improve to achieve quality education are not only fulfilling the input and output aspects, but more importantly the process aspect, which means decision making, program management, institutional management process, teaching and learning process and monitoring and evaluation process with a note that the process teaching and learning has the highest level of importance compared to other processes. And also must have a strategy to improve the quality of education in any way so that education is more creative and innovative.

Human Resource Planning and Budgeting Process in Government Health Institutions in Kenya: A Case Study of Magutini Level Four Hospital

Human resource planning is a crucial component of HRM that many businesses use to make sure the best employees are hired for the proper positions with the correct skills and knowledge. In terms of efficiency, service delivery, and product quality, this is particularly true. Budget discrepancies persistently persist during the implementation. Planning for human resources typically reflects the effectiveness of a certain institution's performance, which depends on it. To determine the human resource planning and budgeting processes in government health institutions in Kenya, Magutini Level Four Hospital was study focus. The study examined, employee retention, and staff training, The study's major anchor theory was goal-setting theory, which is backed by institutional and human capital theory. The study's foundation was a positivist research paradigm that used a study design that was descriptive. The researcher intended to reach 750 respondents; however, secondary data was employed in the literature study, and 260 respondents were chosen as the sample size by the use of stratified random sampling and administered questionnaires. Findings were examined using descriptive statistics (standard deviation, percentages, and frequencies), and the data were shown using tables. To show how the study variables related to one another, inferential statistics were used. The Pearson correlation can assist in determining the direction and strength of the relationship between the variables. Regression analysis showed a substantial correlation and a link between training, development, and performance. Employee retention and the budgeting process were significantly correlated and linked. The research study makes the following suggestions for enhancements to the management and board of directors of the Magutini Level 4 Hospital: The administration of Magutini Level 4 Hospital has to invest in its people. Training and development expenditures are crucial for building human capital, and top management must support this by providing the required funds. HRM initiatives are important in this, but they won't be able to flourish if top management of the company doesn't actively support them. The study's conclusions suggest that the company's executives should provide adequate funding for HRD and the budgeting procedure. Periodic cost estimates are required for every job in the plan in order to make sure that funds are used as efficiently as feasible.

Driving sustainable entrepreneurship: Institutional and psychological influences at the Macao food festival

This study examines the impact of institutional pressures on restaurant entrepreneurs' adoption of biodegradable cutlery and tableware at the Macao Food Festival. Through semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis with 30 entrepreneurs, the study reveals that despite the increasing demand for sustainability, entrepreneurs often prioritise other business concerns. However, findings highlight that implementing regulations at the food festival can create learning opportunities that influence entrepreneurs' psychological mechanisms, leading to a favourable attitude, intention and behaviour towards sustainable practice. Drawing on Institutional Theory and the Theory of Planned Behaviour, the study develops an Integrated Model of Institutions and Planned Actions, shedding light on the institutionalisation process. Additionally, the 5Ps typology captures the diverse range of entrepreneurial attitudes towards sustainable practices. These insights provide valuable implications for policymakers and practitioners seeking to promote sustainable entrepreneurship in the restaurant industry.

Reflection of interest and other expenses on loans and borrowings in accounting (financial) statements: recommendations of state and non-state regulators

The Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation, as the state regulator of accounting, annually discloses new aspects of improving interest and other expenses related to borrowing in accounting (financial) reporting forms, including by issuing annual recommendations to auditors and audit organizations on verifying the reliability of annual reports. Despite the apparent simplicity of reflecting interest on borrowed funds — either for expenses of the current period or in the value of an investment asset, practitioners do not have fewer questions over time. The non-governmental accounting regulator “Accounting Methodological Center” also in its recommendations sets out its position on the reflection of interest and other expenses mainly in connection with newly emerging types of contractual relations for the presentation of borrowed funds. When conducting research, we used such methods as analysis and synthesis, comparison, grouping method, analogy method, logical approach, systematic approach. As a result of the conducted research, this article, in particular, presents generalized requirements for the formation of information on interest and other expenses related to borrowing, depending on the purpose of use and form of borrowing, as well as part of cash flows from current (operating), investment and financial activities of reporting organizations. In addition, in this paper, proposals are made to improve the accounting standard for reflecting the costs associated with borrowing. The results of this study will be of interest to a wide range of readers studying various problems of modern Russian and foreign accounting, and can also be used in the educational process of higher educational institutions.

Toward the Institutionalization of a One Health Agenda: What the World can Learn from Bangladesh

Abstract In 2005 and 2007, prompted by Nipah and avian influenza outbreaks, respectively, faculties at Chattogram Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (CVASU) in Bangladesh initiated a civil society network of researchers in animal and human health. This network led to the launch a year later of One Health Bangladesh (OHB), a platform with membership open to multi-disciplinary scientists, practitioners, and activists. Along with continued advocacy to advance One Health agenda, OHB partnered with government, UN agencies, and other stakeholders to develop, in 2012, a National One Health Strategic Framework and Action Plan. The National Plan was later endorsed by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock (MoFL), and Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change (MoEFC) followed by its implementation which introduced a three-tier multi-sectoral coordination mechanism including the establishment of a One Heath Secretariat in 2016. In 2017, an operational budget for the One Health Secretariat (OHS) was allocated by the MoHFW and three mid-level government officers from three government agencies, and the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), Department of Livestock Services (DLS), and Bangladesh Forest Department (BFD) were seconded to the OHS to make the Secretariat functional. OHB and the OHS now work together to advance the institutionalization process and implement One Health activities including One Health capacity building, joint surveillance, outbreak investigation and intervention, advocacy in the form of arranging dialogs, seminars, workshops, and conferences, and promoting cross sectoral and transdisciplinary collaboration, networking, and partnership nationally and internationally.

The method used is descriptive qualitative research with a case study approach. The results of the research found that the Bojonegoro Regency Food and Agriculture Security Service has carried out organizational transformation through strengthening the vision and mission, changing the organizational structure, improving public services through online applications and websites, building partners with other parties and implementing a reward and punishment system for employees.

Explaining institutional change in Nepal and El Salvador: A cultural political economy approach to political settlements analysis

AbstractUnderstanding progressive institutional change remains a central concern in development studies. This paper examines two such cases: constitutional change in Nepal, which broadened political rights, and the outlawing of metal mining in El Salvador, which redistributed resources. To understand institutional change, this paper proposes a cultural political economy approach to Khan's ‘political settlements analysis’. Applying the proposed approach to these cases demonstrates how political movements organise around beliefs and identities as well as interests to achieve rights and status, not just material gain. Identifying cultural as well as material sources of power allows a fuller explanation of institutional change processes.

Recognition of Prior Learning in Higher Education: A Systematic Literature Review

The aims of this research are to describe recent, global, empirical understandings of the recognition of prior learning (RPL) and to synthesise and extant knowledge in a way that assists stakeholders in uplifting the transitions to education, employment, or training. RPL matters are particularly important to current sector policy initiatives as reforms to the Australian government’s approach to widening participation in higher education have helped in the development of the 2021 National Microcredentials Framework to define, standardise and consolidate RPL for Australian citizens. Furthermore, the recent 2024 Australian Universities Accord Final Report highlights the importance of RPL to facilitate lifelong learning. A systematic review guided by the PRISMA and PICO frameworks identified 65 articles published between 2013-2023, that empirically examined RPL. Using manual thematic analysis, 17 core themes were organised into five meta-themes: 1) the benefits of RPL; 2) the challenges of RPL; 3) RPL processes; 4) institutional processes; and 5) national RPL policy. This article provides timely insights to shape the future RPL research agenda as well as RPL practice and policy in Australia and beyond.

Interactive Learning Model to Improve Student Activities and Learning Outcomes of SMP Negeri 29 Makassar

The educational process in higher education institutions no longer only prioritizes the acquisition of information, but rather focuses more on the development of skills and information processing. Therefore, it is necessary to increase student activity through group exercises or assignments and expression of ideas to peers. This has attracted the attention of researchers to observe how students learn in class when given an interactive learning model that is different from conventional methods. Based on the results of observations in class IX.6 SMP 29 Makassar, a problem was found where the monotonous learning process by the teacher and the initial pretest showed several students with low (D) and failed (E) scores. It can be concluded that the low learning outcomes are also influenced by the lack of student learning activities. This type of research is Classroom Action Research (CAR) with subjects of class IX.6 SMP 29 Makassar students. The research was conducted for two cycles with four meetings. The results of the study indicate that the application of an interactive learning model can improve student learning activities in the Introduction to Education course in Biology B class, Patompo University. The average percentage of student learning activities in cycle I was 56.55%, increasing to 81.55% in cycle II. Therefore, there was an increase of 25.00% from cycle I to cycle II. In addition, the use of interactive learning models also had a positive impact on student learning outcomes. The average post-test score of students in cycle I was 70, increasing to 81.43 in cycle II. Thus, there was an increase in the average value of learning outcomes of 11.43% from cycle I to cycle II.

The marginalisation of responsible management in business schools: a consideration of future trajectories

Purpose Business schools are vital in promoting responsible management (RM) – a management grounded in ethics and values beneficial to a wide array of stakeholders and overall society. Nevertheless, due to deeply embedded institutional modernistic dynamics and paradigms, RM is, despite its importance, repeatedly marginalised in business school curricula. If students are to engage with RM thinking, then its occlusion represents a pressing issue. Drawing on the United Kingdom (UK) business school context, this paper aims to examine this issue through a framework of institutional theory and consider the role played by (modernistic) institutional accreditation and research assessment processes in marginalisation of RM. Design/methodology/approach This study used an exploratory qualitative research method. Data were collected from 17 RM expert participants from 15 UK business schools that were signatories to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Management Education through semi-structured in-depth interviews and analysed using the six phases of Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis. Findings The study identifies a potent institutional isomorphic amalgam resulting in conservative impacts for RM. This dynamic is termed multiple institutional isomorphic marginalisation (MIIM) – whereby a given domain is occluded and displaced by hegemonic institutional pressures. In RM’s case, MIIM operates through accreditation-driven modernistic-style curricula. This leads business schools to a predilection towards “mainstream” representations of subject areas and a focus on mechanistic research exercises. Consequently, this privileges certain activities over RM development with a range of potential negative effects, including social impacts. Originality/value This study fills an important gap concerning the need for a critical, in-depth exploration of the role that international accreditation frameworks and national institutional academic research assessment processes such as the Research Excellence Framework in the UK play in affecting the possible growth and influence of RM. In addition, it uses heterotopia as a conceptual lens to reveal the institutional “mask” of responsibility predominantly at play in the UK business school context, and offers alternative pathways for RM careers.

Aplicação da Plataforma Kahoot! Durante o Ensino Remoto na Pandemia por COVID-19

The pandemic we are facing has generated the need for changes in the teaching process of Higher Education institutions. Remote teaching has become a reality, directly impacting pedagogical training. Digital applications with themes focused on teaching and learning, such as Kahoot!, have become tools to stimulate student participation and engagement during classes. In this study, students were subjected to a quiz on subjects directly related to the classes through the use of Kahoot!. At the end of the semester, a questionnaire was applied through an online form, addressing its use as a revision tool. Acceptance was generally satisfactory and positively evaluated by students. However, the difficulties related to its administration are challenges that still need to be overcome, aiming to maintain the quality of teaching. The positive evaluation of students is seen as an important indicator to guide the actions of the teacher in future practices that adopt digital tools as an integral part of the teaching of traditional disciplines.

Comparison of the impact of dimensionality reduction and data splitting on classification performance in credit risk assessment

Credit risk assessment (CRA) plays an important role in credit decision-making process of financial institutions. Today, developing big data analysis and machine learning methods have marked a new era in credit risk estimation. In recent years, using machine learning methods in credit risk estimation has emerged as an alternative method for financial institutions. The past demographic and financial data of the person whose CRA will be performed is important for creating an automatic artificial intelligence credit score prediction model based on machine learning. It is also necessary to use features correctly to create accurate machine learning models. This article aims to investigate the effects of dimensionality reduction and data splitting steps on the performance of classification algorithms widely used in the literature. In our study, dimensionality reduction was performed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Random Forest (RF), Logistic Regression (LR), Decision Tree (DT), Naive Bayes (NB) algorithms were chosen for classification. Percentage splitting (PER, 66–34%) and k-fold (k = 10) cross-validation techniques were used when dividing the data set into training and test data. The results obtained were evaluated with accuracy, recall, F1 score, precision, and AUC metrics. German data set was used in this study. The effect of data splitting and dimension reduction on the classification of CRA systems was examined. The highest ACC in PER and CV data splitting was obtained with the RF algorithm. Using data splitting methods and PCA, the highest accuracy was observed with RF and the highest AUC with NB, with 13 PCs in which 80% of the variance was obtained. As a result, the data set consisting of a total of 20 features, expressed by 13 PCs, achieved similar or higher success than the results obtained from the original data set.

Curriculum renewal to enhance the acquisition of professional skills and engagement with professional practice across engineering programs

ABSTRACT Engineering students must develop professional practice skills such as critical thinking, empathy, communication, teamwork, and lifelong learning throughout their studies. These skills prepare them for addressing complex global problems in their professional careers. It is essential to systematically develop and embed professional practice skills in engineering programs and to support students through their development. Many institutions update their programs by embedding targeted interventions at strategic learning points. However, this process can be challenging as it is often done in a context with diverse stakeholder views, limited resources, and institutional processes that may not be conducive to change. This paper presents a model for curriculum renewal, developed in partnership with academic staff, professional staff, students, and industry. A significant aspect of this renewal focused on creating flexible pathways to meet professional practice accreditation requirements. The evaluation discussed in this paper examined the effectiveness of these flexible pathways. The curriculum renewal resulted in the evolution of engineering degrees, introducing a professional practice program that met accreditation requirements. This program supported students in advancing and reflecting on their professional skills and industry engagement. The results demonstrated a positive impact on students. This model could be adopted and adapted for other related degrees.
