Female leadership representation within otolaryngology specialty societies

ObjectivesDetermine if women have continued parity in leadership in otolaryngology specialty societies as compared to a paper by Choi and Miller in 2012. Additionally, we wanted insight into obstacles female leaders faced by surveying them directly to better understand their experiences with gender bias. MethodsChi-squared test evaluation was done using the American Academy of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery (AAOHNS) 2020 membership data and directly from various otolaryngology specialty societies. An anonymous survey to assess different experiences of leaders in various Otolaryngology specialty societies was sent to current and past leaders of specialty societies via email. Survey data was assessed using descriptive statistics and multivariate logistical analyses. Study Design: Cross-sectional study and survey study. ResultsFemale members comprised 19.3 % of practicing AAOHNS otolaryngologists. All societies had proportionate female leadership representation except for AAOA, which had greater representation. Compared to data from 10 years ago, female representation in all the societies' leadership has not changed significantly. Survey results demonstrated 64.9 % of respondents felt gender bias exists in Otolaryngology. 45.6 % of respondents personally experienced gender bias during their careers. Survey results showed males are less likely to experience gender bias. ConclusionThere is stability in the proportion of women in otolaryngology leadership positions compared to a decade ago largely due to efforts of leaders in the field. However, women leaders note experiencing gender bias and time away from clinical duties are prospective areas where support can be given. Level of evidence3.

Exploring the evolution of religious moderation leadership from the local to national level

Religious conflicts in Indonesia are prevalent, with endless debates, provocations, and strains among religious groups. Therefore, promoting moderation is crucial to alleviate, minimize, or even eradicate such tensions. Based on the country’s history related to the monarchy system, as well as the jumbled existence of political, religious, and social leaders in society, the role of a leader is significant. Unfortunately, Western, religious, and secular values of leadership have limited opportunities for implementation because of Indonesia’s heterogenous community. Therefore, this article argued that the native leadership knowledge of tona’as from Minahasa is a promising area to explore for religious moderation. To achieve the desired result, descriptive, analytical, and argumentative methods were employed. In conclusion, the responsibility, requirements, and praxis of a tona’as offers alternative insights into leadership in relation to religious moderation in Indonesia.Contribution: This article contributes the values of leadership model in Minahasa that could be a constructive contribution to the religious moderation in Indonesia. The knowledge and insight of tona’as as an original culture and tradition offers leadership philosophy that could bring harmony and peace.

Technology of protection of authentication data of computer network users

The article is devoted to the problem of perfect protection of authentication data of users of computer systems, especially in the case of a large number of different rights and powers that are personally granted to users. The importance of this problem increases especially when the number of such users in the system is hundreds or thousands. At the same time, each of them must create conditions for access only to their data and ensure protection against any outside interference, both by other users and by staff. A typical example of such conditions are secret electronic voting systems. The software and technical solutions described in this work have passed many years of testing and continue to be practically used in the electronic voting system of the Kyiv National University of Civil Engineering and Architecture. This system is regularly used for conducting elections to student self-government bodies and for surveys among students regarding the quality of teaching subjects. With the help of this system, elections of leaders of the Red Cross Society of Ukraine were held during the pandemic, which was associated with the Covid-19 virus. The mathematical basis of the described authentication data protection technology is the theory of algebraic groups, namely, the problem of discrete logarithmization over large Galois fields. Thanks to the use of cryptographic transformations over these fields, instead of known hash functions, it was possible to get rid of the possibility of collisions and neutralize the disclosure of passwords by attackers who were able to do it with the help of specialized Internet resources. It was also possible to increase resistance to brute-force password cracking, since conversions to Galois fields take ten times more time than hash function calculations.

Architects of change: female Islamic school leaders in Australia & New Zealand

ABSTRACT This interpretive study centers the marginalized voices of female Islamic school leaders in Australia and New Zealand. Sharing perspectives on their experiences leading Islamic schools situated in evolving, heterogeneous communities – facing male dominance both within their communities and beyond, in the larger society – these women revealed that their work involves sophisticated conceptual reconciliation as part of nuanced leadership at multiple social levels. Semi-structured interview data enabled the construction of three themes whereby the school leaders described centering student development, balancing the demands of school boards, parents, and wider Muslim communities, and emphasizing intercultural communication with the indigenous Aboriginal and Maori and Western secular-dominant communities. The study echoes extant literature on challenges that Muslim women in leadership face, but it also builds upon that literature in illuminating some unique strengths. With a clear vision of both the challenges and the goals – including to nurture girl students toward leadership of mixed societies – these leaders described drawing from Islamic frameworks of values toward leading Muslim contributions to mainstream society.

Gender Disparities in Academic Otolaryngology.

The aim was to evaluate representation of women in otolaryngology by examining authorship of research publications and presentations, awards, research grants, leadership, and membership in related organizations. Authorship was reviewed from articles published in three otolaryngology journals from 2000 through 2021 to assess the frequency and percentages of female and combination of male and female gender authorship. Gender was evaluated for poster and scientific abstract presentations from 2007 to 2021. Gender representation was reviewed for institutional and society leadership positions, award, and grant recipients in the American Laryngological Society (ALA). Changes in the frequency of female and combination of male and female gender authorship over time were examined with Cochran-Armitage test for trend. A total of 16,921 articles, 1,017 presentations, 480 leadership positions, 129 president positions, and 1,137 awards and grants were studied. Women were first authors in 4,153 (24.9%) and last authors in 2,935 (17.8%) published articles for which gender could be determined. Women were first authors in 372 (37.4%) presentations and last authors in 199 (20.2%). Most presentations had a combination of male and female presentation authorship (630, 68%). Women held 69 (14.4%) leadership positions. Of the award and grant recipients, 327 (28.8%) were female. Significant trends were observed for increasing female representation (first authorship publications increased 69.9% from 2000 to 2020, first authorship presentations increased 73.9% from 2007 to 2013, p < 0.001; leadership and awards from 3% to 18% representation, p = 0.02). The proportion of women receiving awards and holding leadership positions is increasing. Efforts that promote gender diversity may further increase representation of women in otolaryngology literature and among the grant and award winners. NA Laryngoscope, 134:2144-2152, 2024.

Multimodality Cardiac Imaging and the Imaging Workforce in the United States: Diversity, Disparities, and Future Directions.

Innovations in cardiac imaging have fundamentally advanced the understanding and treatment of cardiovascular disease. These advances in noninvasive cardiac imaging have also expanded the role of the cardiac imager and dramatically increased the demand for imagers who are cross-trained in multiple modalities. However, we hypothesize that there is significant variation in the availability of cardiac imaging expertise and a disparity in the adoption of advanced imaging technologies across the United States. To evaluate this, we have brought together the leaders of cardiovascular imaging societies, imaging trainees, as well as collaborated with national imaging accreditation commissions and imaging certification boards to assess the state of cardiac imaging and the diversity of the imaging workforce in the United States. Aggregate data confirm the presence of critical gaps, such as limited access to imaging and imaging expertise in rural communities, as well as disparities in the imaging workforce, notably among women and underrepresented minorities. Based on these results, we have proposed solutions to promote and maintain a robust and diverse community of cardiac imagers and improve equity and accessibility for cardiac imaging technologies.

The Paradox of Leadership: Toxic Education Leadership in the Learning Institutions

Leadership practice in learning institutions is a paradox and it is now of interest to scholars, the secular, and religious authorities. Unfortunately, the objectives of leadership, as a system, in the learning institutions, are the least understood by the leaders themselves. In these learning institutions, exemplary leaders are ideal, but with the magnitude of corrupt leaders in society, it is difficult to nurture exemplary leadership. Presently, the conditions that undermine teachers' effectiveness in the learning institutions must be identified and promptly rectified. These conditions include actions and behaviours of toxic education leaders. These leaders discourage teachers from performing their duties. This study aimed to document the actions and behaviours of toxic education leaders in learning institutions. The study was carried out using ethnographic, social constructivism, and pragmatic approaches between 2013 and 2023 in five learning institutions in Western Australia. It is reported that toxic cultures in learning institutions develop because of actions and behaviours of toxic education leaders. These toxic leaders are content with the status quo because their leadership capabilities are stuck in their juvenile growth stage, making them incapable of transcending the leadership scale. The leaders allow the institutions to breed incompetence and incrimination, almost always with contempt, frustrating the efforts of teachers, leading to teacher shortages. These actions and behaviours of toxic leaders lead to mistrust and discontent in learning institutions. It is concluded that by regularly moderating the actions and behaviours of toxic education leaders, there may be a reduction in incidents of out-of-value behaviours and eliminating toxic and poisonous conducts that lead to unethical actions in learning institutions

Housing movement coalitions in the United States: Trends from big networks among urban civil society leaders

Coalitions of formal housing, civil rights and anti-poverty organisations play an important role in urban housing movements. However, the extent and dynamics of these ‘housing movement coalitions’ are not well understood. In this article, I document the geography of housing movement coalitions across 148 US cities using leadership networks among 11.8 million civic leaders. I show that cohesive coalitions of formal housing, civil rights and anti-poverty leaders exist in a wide range of US cities, including in conservative states. In terms of change, housing coalitions have only grown in a handful of politically liberal cities since the global financial crisis, and most housing coalitions have stagnated and some have declined. Finally, change score regression models indicate that economic insecurity is associated with housing coalition emergence, but municipal austerity and hostile political environments may weaken the opportunities for coalitions to expand. These findings suggest movement scholars should widen their focus to include housing coalitions in more diverse contexts, and more closely examine how municipal funding shapes housing coalitions and their relationship to grassroots activism.

Developing Leadership Behavior Through Natural School

Purpose: this research aims to describe strategies for introducing the basics of leadership behavior at the Al Ghifari Kindergarten in Kuningan, Answered Indonesia.&#x0D; &#x0D; Theoretical framework: The development of leadership behavior in children aged 5-6 years has not been a focus in many early childhood education institutions.&#x0D; &#x0D; Problem: this has become problematic in the world of education when research results state that leadership abilities are the result of a conditioning process in the form of education starting from early childhood.&#x0D; &#x0D; Methodology: the qualitative research was chosen in this study because there are characteristics/uniqueness in Al Ghifari Kuningan Natural Kindergarten, a nature-based early childhood education institution combined with a leadership curriculum program for early childhood and not much has been done in other places to do this. This research method is a qualitative case study with the data collection used being in-depth interviews and observation. The data analysis process is data reduction, identifying themes, mapping relationships between themes, and concluding the findings.&#x0D; &#x0D; The finding: the results of this research are (1) We can introduce the basics of leadership in early childhood through a nature-based learning approach, (2) The role of teachers and parents in introducing the basics of leadership is very much needed in efforts to condition children's social environment, (3) Group games will help children in introducing the basics of leadership, (4) Through outbound games in the field, it helps children develop self-confidence as a basic owned by someone who is prepared to be a leader in the future.&#x0D; &#x0D; Research, Practical &amp; Social implications: the implication of this study is social implication. This is because researchers have found many cases where young people lack leadership skills, they are not ready to become leaders in the corporate institutions where they work or become social leaders in society.&#x0D; &#x0D; Originality: The leadership dimension includes several things, namely: 1) organizational leadership dimension, 2) operational leadership dimension, and 3) personal leadership dimension.

Ethical Review of Relation Between Formal and Informal Leaders in Building National Resilience in Bondowoso Regency, East Java

&lt;p class="Abstract"&gt;What is meant by national resilience? National resilience is&#x0D; a dynamic condition of all aspects of national life that contains tenacity,&#x0D; strength, and toughness with the ability to develop national strength to face&#x0D; and overcome all threats, challenges, obstacles, and disturbances, both coming&#x0D; from within and outside the country, directly or indirectly. Endangering the&#x0D; integrity, identity, and survival of the nation, and the struggle to achieve&#x0D; national goals. National resilience is a fundamental need that must be pursued&#x0D; so that a nation continues to exist. Indonesia's national security has&#x0D; experienced disruption in the form of the Covid-19 pandemic. Bondowoso Regency&#x0D; responded in various ways to face and anticipate possible obstacles in the&#x0D; future. Of course, these efforts cannot be separated from the roles of leaders.&#x0D; Leaders play an important role in mobilizing and optimizing the resilience&#x0D; potential that exists in society. In Bondowoso, where the majority of the&#x0D; population is Madurese, there are at least two types of leaders: formal and&#x0D; informal. Formal and informal leaders in Bondowoso Regency actually have good&#x0D; relations with each other, synergize, and collaborate. Like Madurese society in&#x0D; general, the Bondowoso people have local wisdom in the form of a hierarchy of&#x0D; leaders that must be obeyed, and formal leaders such as the government are in&#x0D; fourth place. This article focuses on an ethical review of the relationship&#x0D; between formal and informal leaders in building strong community resilience. The&#x0D; model of good relations between leaders in society can be a model for building&#x0D; national resilience that can be imitated by other ethnic groups in Indonesia,&#x0D; because in various ethnic groups in Indonesia, there are two types of leaders:&#x0D; formal and informal.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Explanation and Analysis of Imam Khomeini's Stance on Pahlavi Policies Regarding Women, with an Emphasis on the Unveiling Policy

Addressing women's issues and providing innovative solutions has always been part of modernization in the contemporary world and Iran. In his authoritarian modernization, Reza Shah, with a quasi-modernist approach to the issue of women, adopted the policy of banning and unveiling the hijab. This policy, while maintaining its foundations, continued during the reign of the second Pahlavi with changes in method. This policy provoked widespread social reaction and resistance from segments of society and religious leaders. Among them, Imam Khomeini, in his speeches, repeatedly referred to this government action, criticizing these policies and condemning the Pahlavi regime's approach to the issue of women and the hijab. The present study, aiming to explain Imam Khomeini's stance toward these actions, adopts a descriptive-analytical method using library resources, seeking to answer the question: What was Imam Khomeini's position on Pahlavi's modernist policies regarding women, particularly on the issue of the hijab? The research findings indicate that on one hand, he defended women's hijab and explicitly opposed the unveiling policy of Reza Shah and Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi. On the other hand, while raising awareness and warning the public about Pahlavi's negative propaganda against the hijab, he praised the fighters and leaders who stood against the unveiling policy. The influence of Imam's approach in society led to political challenges and increasing divergence between the people and the government, which also played a role in the occurrence of the Islamic Revolution.

Mapping the global neurosurgery workforce. Part 2: Trainee density

OBJECTIVE A sustainable neurosurgery workforce depends on robust training pipelines, but the size and distribution of the global neurosurgery trainee workforce has not been described. The objective of this study was to identify the types of training programs that exist in the global neurosurgery workforce, the support that trainees receive, the diversity of trainee experiences, and the accreditation processes that exist to regulate training programs. METHODS This study was a subanalysis of a cross-sectional survey administered online in all 193 countries and 26 territories, independent states, and disputed regions as defined by the World Bank and United Nations. Participants were identified through neurosurgery society leadership, the personal contacts of the coauthors, and bibliometric and search engine searches. Population-weighted statistics were constructed and segregated by country income level and WHO regions. RESULTS Data were obtained for 187 countries (96.9%) and 25 additional territories, states, and disputed regions (96.2%). There were an estimated 1261 training programs and 10,546 trainees within the regions sampled, representing a global pooled density of 0.14 neurosurgery trainees per 100,000 people and a median national density of 0.06 trainees per 100,000 people. There was a higher density in high-income countries (HICs; 0.48 trainees per 100,000 people) compared with upper-middle-income countries (0.09 per 100,000), lower-middle-income countries (0.06 per 100,000), and low-income countries (LICs; 0.07 per 100,000). The WHO European (0.36 per 100,000) and Americas (0.27 per 100,000) regions had the highest trainee densities, while the Southeast Asia (0.04 per 100,000) and African (0.05 per 100,000) regions had the lowest densities. Among countries with training programs, LICs had the poorest availability of subspecialty training and resources such as cadaver laboratories and conference stipends for trainees. Training program accreditation processes were more common in HICs (81.8%) than in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs; 69.2%) with training programs. CONCLUSIONS The authors estimate that there are at least 1261 neurosurgery training programs with 10,546 total trainees worldwide. The density of neurosurgery trainees was disproportionately higher in HICs than LMICs, and the WHO European and Americas regions had the highest trainee densities. The trainee workforce in LICs had the poorest access to subspecialty training and advanced resources.

Shaping Future Leaders: How Technology is Transforming Islamic Education in The Digital Age

Islamic education has a rich tradition of instilling moral values, religious principles, and leadership qualities in young learners, laying the foundation for them to become ethical and responsible future leaders in Muslim societies. However, the advent of the digital age has brought about profound changes in education worldwide, introducing technology as a powerful tool that both enriches and challenges traditional educational approaches. This research aims to explore the intricate relationship between technology and Islamic education, with a particular focus on how technology is shaping the character development of future leaders in this digital era. This research employs a mixed-methods approach to comprehensively examine the multifaceted impact of technology on Islamic education. Participants include 20 students. The study involves structured questionnaires to collect quantitative data on students' experiences with technology-enhanced Islamic education, in-depth interviews with educators, students, and parents to gather qualitative insights, and content analysis of educational materials and digital resources used in technology-based Islamic education to assess their alignment with Islamic values and character development. In conclusion, technology has the potential to significantly impact character development and student engagement in Islamic education. However, its benefits must be harnessed thoughtfully, considering content quality and the necessity of responsible technology usage guidance. As we navigate the evolving landscape of Islamic education in the digital age, it is crucial to strike a delicate balance that leverages technology's benefits while ensuring the preservation of Islamic values. This research provides valuable insights for educators, parents, and institutions as they guide the next generation of leaders toward a harmonious fusion of faith and technology.

Formation of Health Volunteer for Integrated Non-Communicable Diseases (Posbindu PTM) Services in Geblagan, Tamantiro, Kasihan, Bantul

Integrated Non-Communicable Disease Development Post (POSBINDU PTM) is an activity for monitoring and early detection of integrated PTM risk factors (heart disease, diabetes, lung disease, asthma, and cancer). The target of Posbindu PTM activities is 15-59 years (productive age) with the hope that if they are healthy at productive age, then they can become quality elderly. The problem faced by Indonesian people who are of productive age is that they do not know that they have hypertension or diabetes mellitus, because they are often asymptomatic early in the course of the disease. The service is carried out by identifying the Padukuhan Geblagan community who have the potential to become Posbindu PTM health volunteer. The selected health volunteers are then given training related to Posbindu PTM activities. This training begins with the provision of material related to Posbindu PTM, providing material related to the types of diseases that are included in non-communicable diseases, providing material related to how to identify non-communicable diseases, providing material related to the technical implementation of Posbindu PTM, demonstrating the implementation of Posbindu PTM and redemonstrating the implementation of Posbindu. The result of this activity is that Posbindu PTM health volunteer have been trained with a 5- table system with a total of 20 people. PTM Posbindu health volunteers who have received training can carry out Posbindu PTM activities properly. The health volunteers that were formed consisted of all levels of society, RT administrators, PKK administrators and community leaders. The Padukuhan Geblagan PTM Posbindu has been launched by the Tamantirto Village Government, witnessed by the Kasihan 1 Health Center staff and named the Posbindu PTM SEHAT (Sehat, Enerjik, Hidup, Aman, Tentram).

Bridging Tradition and Tourism in Puri Saren Agung Ubud

Puri, as one of the cultural heritages, contains cultural elements worthy of conservation. In addition to culture, Puri carries a reputation and inherent authority, shaping the image of leaders in society. The ancient buildings with extraordinary architecture and carvings on each structure not only stand as witnesses to the kingdom's past but also function as a living museum. The artistic system within this cultural element is manifested by the shift in the function of Puri Saren Agung Ubud from a residence to a tourist destination packaged with cultural tourism. . Tjokorda Gde Agung Sukawati's visionary establishment of the Tedung Agung Studio in the 1980s has not only provided a space for children to learn dance and percussion but has also contributed to the preservation and evolution of traditional Balinese performing arts. The tourism experience of performing arts at Puri Saren Agung has further elevated the cultural significance of Ubud. Balinese art, with its dual functions of wali and balih-balihan, has become a captivating form of tourist performing art. From the classical Legong dance to other traditional performances, Puri Saren Agung Ubud has been a focal point for tourists seeking an authentic and immersive encounter with Balinese culture.

التحليل الشبكي لدور القيادات النسائية في التمكين السياسي للمرأة السعودية عبر منصات التواصل الاجتماعي: (X) نموذجًا

The study aims to identify the number of tweets concerned with the political empowerment of Saudi women through the accounts of tweeters on the (x) platform, and the network analysis of the accounts of women leaders to monitor the number of nodes and links on political empowerment topics through the (x) platform. The study belongs to descriptive explanatory studies and relies on the network analysis methodology. The study used network analysis in data collection, analysis and interpretation, by applying to a sample of (5) accounts of women leaders in Saudi society through the (X) platform, namely: (Hala Al-Tuwaijri - Kawthar Al-Arbash - Haifa Mohammed Al Saud - Amal Yahya Al-Muallimi - Adwaa Abdul Rahman Al-Arifi) were withdrawn during October 2023, with a total of (1274) tweets, relying on the theory of network analysis as a theoretical framework for the study. The study reached a set of results, most notably: It was found that there is a large state of activity and interaction in the accounts of women leaders in the Kingdom of the study sample through the (X) platform, where the presence of tweets of a large number of users commenting on what is published during the study period, and this is clearly shown by the high number of tweets. The account of (Amal Yahya Al-Moallimi) was distinguished from the rest of the accounts of the study sample, in the emergence of words indicating the political empowerment of women, the most prominent of which came (ambassador), (diplomacy), and (leadership). With regard to the most prominent forms of interaction with tweets on the accounts of women leaders, the form of interaction (showing likes) came at the forefront of the forms of interaction between the five accounts of the study sample. The study recommends the need to increase attention to the political empowerment of Saudi women, by opening more areas of discussion on topics of political empowerment through various media, especially through social networking sites and applications, in light of the Kingdom's direction in its ambitious Vision 2030.

Global variability of vascular and peritoneal access for chronic dialysis.

Vascular and peritoneal access are essential elements for sustainability of chronic dialysis programs. Data on availability, patterns of use, funding models, and workforce for vascular and peritoneal accesses for dialysis at a global scale is limited. An electronic survey of national leaders of nephrology societies, consumer representative organizations, and policymakers was conducted from July to September 2018. Questions focused on types of accesses used to initiate dialysis, funding for services, and availability of providers for access creation. Data from 167 countries were available. In 31 countries (25% of surveyed countries), >75% of patients initiated haemodialysis (HD) with a temporary catheter. Seven countries (5% of surveyed countries) had >75% of patients initiating HD with arteriovenous fistulas or grafts. Seven countries (5% of surveyed countries) had >75% of their patients starting HD with tunnelled dialysis catheters. 57% of low-income countries (LICs) had >75% of their patients initiating HD with a temporary catheter compared to 5% of high-income countries (HICs). Shortages of surgeons to create vascular access were reported in 91% of LIC compared to 46% in HIC. Approximately 95% of participating countries in the LIC category reported shortages of surgeons for peritoneal dialysis (PD) access compared to 26% in HIC. Public funding was available for central venous catheters, fistula/graft creation, and PD catheter surgery in 57%, 54% and 54% of countries, respectively. There is a substantial variation in the availability, funding, workforce, and utilization of vascular and peritoneal access for dialysis across countries regions, with major gaps in low-income countries.
