ОПТИМИЗАЦИЯ МЕР, НАПРАВЛЕННЫХ НА АНТИТЕРРОРИСТИЧЕСКУЮ ЗАЩИЩЕННОСТЬ ОБЪЕКТОВ С МАССОВЫМ ПРЕБЫВАНИЕМ ЛЮДЕЙ

Today, the efforts of international terrorists are aimed not only at intimidating society, but also at de-stroying as many ordinary citizens as possible who turned out to be accidental participants in the tragic events taking place. In this regard, the issues of developing measures related to ensuring anti-terrorist security in relation to more unprotected and vulnerable objects with large numbers of people exposed to terrorist threats are of particular relevance. Attacks on them occur without thorough preparation, thereby providing a significant advantage to terrorists. Such terrorist attacks are difficult to predict and prevent. In order to counter modern threats of international terrorism in relation to more unprotected and vulnerable objects, a set of special measures aimed at minimizing potential terrorist threats is important. In the process of research, the author notes that in a comprehensive assessment of the analyzed terrorist threats and risks, it is necessary to determine the factors con-tributing to the emergence of such risks, and also strive to develop actions to prevent terrorist attacks or minimize their consequences. Determining specific measures aimed at ensuring anti-terrorist se-curity of the objects in question could be facilitated by their categorization and certification. In con-clusion, the author draws conclusions that in order to protect facilities most exposed to the risk of ter-rorist threats, a special role should be played by the improvement of proactive countermeasures, which must be grouped around the main areas: identifying these threats; development of public-private cooperation in the area under consideration; carrying out preventive work with society; an integrated approach based on high-quality security, effective access control and competent leadership, etc. In particular, the emphasis is placed on the fact that anti-terrorist security requires constant new original solutions to the problem associated with the protection of vulnerable objects and targets. Therefore, when assessing the anti-terrorist security of each vulnerable object and target, individual approaches are required. At the same time, the author especially notes the importance of continuing research into the characteristics of modern international terrorism in order to prepare a comprehensive, scientifically based approach to creating an anti-terrorism system for the protection of potential vulnerable objects and targets

Developing leadership competencies for genomics integration through globally networked learning and education.

To describe the implementation and evaluation of an education strategy called the globally networked learning-genomics (GNL-G) used in Master's courses in Canada and Finland. The study focused on the feasibility and effectiveness of GNL-G in developing leadership competencies for integrating genomics into practice. Interpretive description qualitative methodology was used to explore how GNL-G, global exchanges and assignments standardized with the Assessment of Strategies to Integrate Genomics in Nursing (ASIGN) tool influenced competency development. The Reporting Item Standards for Education and its Evaluation in Genomics (RISE2 Genomics) framework guided the design, implementation, evaluation, and reporting of GNL-G. Data included one-to-one interviews, written assignments, and reflections. Interviews and assignment data from three cohorts of students for a total of ten Canadian and 11 Finnish master's students participated in this study. The ASIGN Tool played a crucial role in facilitating students' analysis of their practice context and the development of leadership strategies. Participation in GNL-G enhanced students' confidence to lead efforts to integrate genomics, irrespective of their genomics expertise. Engagement with global peers emphasized the importance of incorporating equity, ethics, and social justice into leadership strategies for genomics integration. The GNL-G strategy enhanced leadership competencies for genomics integration in graduate students from Canada and Finland. The ASIGN Tool and global peer collaboration highlight the importance of innovative educational methods in preparing leaders for the complexities of genomics in healthcare.

The influence of digital competency and self leadership on teacher performance in Yayasan Indonesia Juara

Purpose: This study aims to examine teacher competence in facing 21st century education through digital competency, aneadership towards oneself through self-leadership, and its influence on teacher performance. Research Methodology: The method used in this study is quantitative. This study was descriptive and causal research. Based on their involvement, the researchers did not intervene in the data. This means that the data collected and processed were sourced directly from the respondents. Based on this unit, what is analyzed in this study is the individual. Based on the time of the study, this study belongs to the cross-section type; elements were measured only once during the research process in accordance with the applicable time and finished when this study was completed. Results: Digital competency and self-leadership have been proven to influence teacher performance. However, there was a difference in the influence of digital competency and self-leadership. The results showed that the magnitude of the influence of teachers’ digital competency on teacher performance was not very high. Self-leadership has a significant influence on teachers’ performance. This indicates that self-leadership has a greater influence on the quality or performance of a teacher in fulfilling his/her role. Contributions: The findings of this thesis are useful for educational institutions to determine the factors that influence teacher performance and to design effective professional development programs to improve teachers' skills and abilities. In addition, this research can be used by educators as a resource to study the impact of digital leadership and self-leadership on teacher performance.

Principals as instructional leaders: an exploration of school context factors that affect principals’ competence at primary schools in Tarcha town, Ethiopia

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to investigate school context-related factors that affect principals’ instructional leadership competence in primary schools in Tarcha Town, Ethiopia. A qualitative case-study research design was used. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and document analysis. Twelve senior principals were included in the study through purposive sampling. Interviews were used to collect in-depth data. The data was analyzed thematically. The findings of the study indicated that primary school principals face both internal and external challenges. Internally, they face limited knowledge and skills, a lack of courage and commitment, and administrative work overload. Their external challenges included negative attitudes from parents and teachers, a lack of instructional materials, and little support from local education authorities. Consequently, they can’t serve effectively as instructional leaders or resource people. Based on the findings, it is recommended that the Ministry of Education, South West Regional Education Bureau, Dawuro Zone Education Department, and Tarcha Town Administration Education Officers and Cluster Supervisors regularly monitor and support school leaders and prepare and provide pertinent teaching materials and training so that the principals can lead in the capacity that is appropriate for the position.

A legend in one's own mind: The link between ambition and leadership evaluations.

Individuals who have more ambition-a persistent striving for success, attainment, and accomplishment-are more likely to become leaders. But are these ambitious individuals also more effective in leadership roles? We hypothesize that leader ambition is related to positive self-views of leader effectiveness that remain uncorroborated by relevant third-party actors. In a multiwave, preregistered study, we find evidence for this hypothesis using a sample of executives (N = 3,830 ratings of 472 leaders) who were rated by peers, subordinates, managers, and themselves on ten leadership competencies, including their ability to motivate others, manage collaborative work, coach and develop people, and present and communicate ideas. We consider the implications of our findings for both scholars and practitioners interested in leadership selection and development.

Crucial competencies for crisis management: the importance of middle leaders’ conceptual skills in navigating turbulent times

ABSTRACT In the contemporary landscape characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA), crises can arise, placing organizations at risk. To prevent such failures, organizations must have capable leaders who possess the necessary crisis management competencies to handle such situations. Effective crisis management involves four crucial competencies: improvisation skills, analytical thinking skills, strategic planning skills, and change management skills. This study purposes to evaluate the essential leadership competencies required for effective crisis management, with a specific focus on conceptual competencies among middle leaders in Malaysia’s Ministry of Education (MOE). Utilizing the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM), this research seeks to obtain expert consensus on the most critical competencies required for effective crisis management. An instrument containing a list of conceptual competencies was presented to a diverse panel of 15 experts, including those with expertise in crisis management and education. The four elements tested surpassed the required conditions set in FDM. The defuzzification process also rearranged all the elements. In conclusion, this study successfully identified four crisis management competencies that are crucial for middle leaders in educational organizations. The study’s findings have benefits for theoretical evolution, policy development for organizational education, and practice, especially for middle leaders in educational organizations towards sustainable education.

Reforming Model of University Leadership through Collaborative Discourse

Despite abundant leadership research work, there is still a dearth of truly original, ground-breaking collaborative research discourse. To provide greater insights of linking various disciplinary paradigms and respond to this issue, we evaluate the leadership competency (LDC) model, proposed by Fowler et al. (2018). The paper analyse the different levels of leadership practices that lead to innovation with examples drawn from leadership studies. The model offers theoretical grounding as well as actionable guidelines for generating original research ideas. In response to the need felt by researchers on leadership, collaborative initiatives indeed has a dominant place in the contemporary leadership discourse.

Qualitative Analysis of an Integrated Curricular Strategy to Develop Health Policy Advocacy.

Baccalaureate nursing programs have primarily taught policy advocacy using knowledge related to social and health policy and political systems. Creative curricular strategies have not been widely implemented to prepare nursing students to address health policy advocacy. A qualitative study explored the impact of an innovative intervention to integrate leadership competencies with population health policy advocacy in an undergraduate nursing curriculum. The intervention consisted of a 5-part, unfolding assignment across leadership and population health courses. A phenomenological theoretical approach was used to understand and describe students' perceptions about the intervention and impact on student readiness to engage in health policy advocacy through narrative survey responses. Student understanding of policy processes improved postintervention. Students recognized that systems level thinking and developing policy solutions for population health issues were important attainable activities for nurses. This study demonstrates the significance of providing integrated curricula to develop student engagement in policy advocacy. Nurse educators should explore innovative policy advocacy curricula to prepare baccalaureate graduates to address health equity.

DEVELOPMENT OF A LEADERSHIP COMPETENCY MODEL FOR PRINCIPALS IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS IN SHANGHAI, CHINA

The effective running of schools requires principals to possess leadership competence. In the Chinese context, the selection of principals is based on criteria established by the government, not necessarily the demonstration of leadership ability. Therefore, school principals may still need to enhance their leadership competencies. The goal of this study is to create a leadership competency model specifically for primary school principals in Shanghai. The study was structured around four key objectives: 1) To determine the leadership competencies needed for primary school principals; 2) To determine the factors that affect principal leadership competency development in primary schools in Shanghai; 3) To find the gap between current and needed leadership competencies for primary school principals in Shanghai; and 4) To develop a model of leadership competencies for primary school principals in Shanghai. We used an exploratory mixed-methods design, utilizing both interviews with principals and a survey of 1,113 teachers. The qualitative content analysis revealed eight competencies from the literature: collaboration, communication, educational administration, time management, adaptability, diversity and inclusion, self-awareness, and well-being. Factors that affect competency development were discovered during interviews with principals. Results of the Priority Needs Index (PNI) found that the top three competencies in need of development were collaboration, communication, and educational administration competence. Expert intuition facilitated the development and validation of a model. This model aims to serve as a guide for primary school principals in Shanghai, enhancing their leadership competencies.

Additionally, a fair and competitive compensation system significantly influences organizational performance, as does employee competence. Collectively, leadership style, compensation, and competence jointly contribute significantly to the optimization of organizational performance at BRPBAPPP Maros. Enhancing leadership style, improving compensation, and developing employee competence can increase the operational effectiveness and efficiency of the organization.

Empowering and Building the Capabilities of Mid-Level Health Service Managers to Lead and Support the Health Workforce-A Study Protocol.

(1) Background: Mid-level managers in healthcare are central to improving safety and quality of care. Their ability in demonstrating leadership and management competency in their roles and supporting frontline managers and frontline staff has a direct effect on staff retention and turn-over. Yet, investment in their professional development and support for mid-level managers is often neither adequate nor effective, and high rates of staff turnover are evident. This study, set in northern Queensland, Australia, takes a strength-based approach to explore the role and strengths of mid-level managers and organisations' existing mechanisms in supporting managers. With broad involvement and contribution from managers at different management level and frontline staff, the project will identify strategies to address the challenges mid-level managers face while building on their capabilities. (2) Methods: Using co-design principles, a situation analysis approach will guide a mixed-methods, multiphase design. Qualitative data will be collected using transcripts of focus groups and quantitative data will be collected by surveys that include validated scales. (3) Results: Thematic analysis of the transcripts will be guided by the framework of Braun and Clarke. Quantitative data will employ descriptive and inferential analysis, including chi-squared, t-tests, and univariate analyses of variance. (4) Conclusions: This study will generate evidence to guide two partner organisations, and other similar organisations, to develop strategies to improve support for mid-level managers and build their capabilities to support and lead frontline managers and staff. Competent mid-level managers are critical to high-quality patient care and improve the outcomes of the population they serve.
