Transforming Sustainability: The Role of Transformational Leadership and Knowledge in Disruptive Innovation

In Indonesia, educators have made notable strides in advancing their teaching methodologies. The research conducted was a quantitative study with a total of 118 university lecturers in East Java using a purposive sampling technique by distributing questionnaires using a Likert scale. SMART-PLS 3 is used as an analysis tool with PLS-SEM. This study found that transformational leadership has a positive and significant effect on disruptive innovation (T= 3.564, β= 0.285, P= 0.000). Transformational leadership has a positive and significant effect on knowledge acquisition ability (T= 13.110, β= 0.645, P= 0.000). Transformational leadership has a positive and significant effect on the ability to share knowledge (T= 11.940, β= 0.617, P= 0.000). The ability to acquire knowledge has a positive and significant effect on disruptive innovation (T= 2.481, β= 0.274, P= 0.011). The ability to share knowledge has a positive and significant effect on disruptive innovation (T= 2.994, β= 0.273, P= 0.003). Knowledge acquisition ability mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and disruptive innovation (T= 2.396, β= 0.177, P=0.177). Knowledge-sharing ability mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and disruptive innovation (T=3.052, β=0.169, P=0.002). These findings contribute to the theory of transformational leadership regarding the most effective leadership style in influencing the improvement of knowledge sharing ability, knowledge acquisition ability and disruptive innovation. Researchers found a lack of research linking transformational leadership and radical innovation. This is what encourages research to be carried out in the hope of novelty and the development of research on leadership theory.

The role of letter knowledge acquisition ability on children's decoding and word identification: Evidence from an artificial orthography

BackgroundLetter knowledge is crucial in the first stages of reading development. It supports learning letter‐sound mappings and the identification of the letters that make up words. Previous studies have investigated the longitudinal impact of early letter knowledge on children's further word reading abilities. This study employed an artificial orthography learning paradigm to explore whether the rate of letter learning modulates children's reading and word identification skills.MethodsIn an initial training phase, 8‐year‐old Spanish children (N = 30) learned nine artificial letters and their corresponding sounds (two vowels and six consonants). The letter learning rate was set according to the number of attempts needed to name at least seven letters (i.e., 80% correct). These ranged from 1 to 4. In a second training phase, children visualized words made up of the trained letters while listening to their pronunciations. Some words included a context‐dependent syllable (i.e., leading to grapheme‐to‐phoneme inconsistency), and others had an inconsistent syllable (i.e., phoneme‐to‐grapheme inconsistency). The post‐test consisted of a reading aloud task and an orthographic‐choice task in which the target word was presented with a distractor equal to the target except for the substitution of a letter.ResultsChildren showed a high accuracy rate in the post‐test tasks, regardless of whether words contained context‐dependent or inconsistent syllables. Critically, the letter learning rate predicted both reading aloud and identification accuracy of words in the artificial orthography.ConclusionsWe provide evidence for the vital role of letter knowledge acquisition ability in children's decoding and word identification skills. Training children on this ability facilitates serial letter‐sound mapping and word identification skills. Artificial orthography paradigms are optimal for exploring children's potential to achieve specific literacy skills.

Policy orientation, knowledge dynamic ability and green innovation: A mediation model based on China provincial panel data

Environmental supervision and government subsidy are important tools for government to promote green innovation. The influence of these two policy orientations on green innovation performance is spreading widely, but the specific indirect mechanism of policy orientation inducing green innovation needs further exploring. This paper introduces the knowledge-dynamic ability (knowledge production ability, knowledge acquisition ability, knowledge integration ability) into the analysis framework of enterprise green innovation, and studies the mediating effect of the knowledge-dynamic ability on policy orientation and green innovation. Based on the panel data of 30 provinces in China from 2000 to 2015, the empirical findings are as follows: Firstly, the knowledge-dynamic ability plays a remarkable mediating role in promoting between policy orientation and green innovation, which indicates that improving the knowledge-dynamic ability is a core mechanism of policy orientation to induce enterprise green innovation. Secondly, the knowledge-dynamic ability plays a complete mediating role in the relationship between environmental supervision and green innovation. Environmental supervision promotes green process innovation by enhancing knowledge acquisition ability and induces green product innovation by enhancing knowledge production ability. Thirdly, the knowledge-dynamic ability plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between government subsidy and green innovation. Government subsidy improves enterprise green process innovation by enhancing knowledge acquisition ability and knowledge integration ability, and induces enterprise green product innovation by enhancing knowledge production ability and knowledge integration ability.

Knowledge management capability and technology uncertainty: driving factors of dual innovation

ABSTRACT Based on synergy theory and dynamic capability theory, taking the high-tech enterprises in the Yangtze River delta region as samples, this paper explores the relationship between knowledge management ability and the synergy of dual innovation from three dimensions of knowledge acquisition ability, knowledge integration ability and knowledge creation ability, as well as the moderating effect of technology uncertainty on the above relationship. The results show that the knowledge acquisition ability is positively correlated with the balance of dual innovation and has an inverted U-shaped relationship with the complementarity of dual innovation. The ability of knowledge integration is positively correlated with the balance and complementarity of innovation. Knowledge creation ability is positively correlated with the balance and complementarity of innovation. Technology uncertainty has a positive moderating effect between knowledge management ability and dual innovation balance and complementarity.

Discuss on the innovation of core concepts in the teaching of physiology

Medical education reform mainly focused on the reform of the form and method of teaching but neglected the reform of the teaching concept that has truly penetrated into all aspects of teaching. With reference to the reflection on the teaching goal of physiology and the need of the cultivation of post competency, the core concepts of physiological teaching are summarized into the following four aspects: Three Outlooks must be positive to help students establish a balanced view, a dialectical view, and a holistic view; Three Fundamentals should be solid to help students master basic knowledge structure system, cultivate basic knowledge acquisition ability, and improve basic operation skills; students should attach importance to learning and use; humanistic quality should be strengthened. The above core concepts have been widely recognized by students in teaching practice, and clinical medical students have significantly better evaluation of the core concepts than nursing students. Future direction of the subsequent teaching reform should be how to refine the contents of lectures under the guidance of the teaching concepts to adapt to the increasingly detailed specialities. Key words: Physiology; Teaching reform; Teaching principle

Health Information Literacy Influences Access to Network Knowledge for Patients with Permanent Cystostomy

Objective: The patients with permanent cystostomy have demand of relevant health information from network. The level of health information literacy refers the ability of acquiring and using health information. The aim of this study was to investigate the level of health information literacy in patients with permanent cystostomy, and to explore its influence on network knowledge acquisition ability. Methods: A cross-sectional survey of 200 patients with permanent cystostomy was conducted, using the general information questionnaire, the health information literacy self-rating questionnaire, and the network knowledge acquisition questionnaire. Results: Patients with permanent cystostomy who had health information literacy accounted for 33.5%, of which the having rate of health information application was the lowest (6.7%). The having rate of health information literacy for patients living in cities, educational level in high school, and duration of disease more than 5 years was higher than other patients (both P &lt; 0.05). The professional medical websites was the main search source for patients with health information literacy, and the health contents mainly included treatment plan, postoperative complications and drug use, of which 62.7% of the patients took the attitude of questioning the network information again. Patients without health information literacy mainly searched for profit-making commercial websites, and the main health contents included dietary guidance, exercise training, and medical hospitals, 30.1% of which took a doubt attitude toward online information. The difference in trust attitude toward network knowledge between the two groups was statistically significant (P &lt; 0.01). Conclusion: The level of health information literacy of patients with permanent cystostomy is low. The individualized training and guidance should be carried out so as to improve the ability of acquiring knowledge on the internet and improve the execution of medical decision.

Research on the Influence of Cluster Innovation on the Upgrading of Cluster Enterprises under the Background of “Internet +”—Take Zhejiang Pharmaceutical Chemicals Cluster for Example

With the introduction of the “Internet +” action, the upgrading of traditional industrial clusters has ushered in new opportunities and challenges. The enhancement of the cluster enterprise's innovation advantage can promote the upgrading, and the innovation advantage can be reflected in the enhancement of the enterprise's learning ability. This paper conducted a questionnaire survey on Zhejiang pharmaceutical chemicals cluster. Under the background of “Internet +”, the empirical analysis found that knowledge transformation ability and knowledge application ability have a positive impact on the cluster enterprises' upgrading. The knowledge acquisition ability can only promote the product upgrading of the cluster, and it has no effect on the process upgrading. Organizational philosophy and team support have a positive regulatory role in the relationship between cluster innovation and cluster enterprises' upgrading, while supervisor support has no significant impact.
