Under modern conditions of economic development, more and more important requirements are imposed on accounting, production, and financial systems of the organization. Accounting process is considered to be one of the most complicated. It depends on industry specifics, constantly changing legislation, as well as high degree of government regulation. Under certain crisis phenomena in the national and international economy, there is a necessity to substantiate theoretical and methodological aspects of formation and functioning of accounting and control system within the framework of organization's management mechanism. It is necessary to consider the existing mechanisms of accounting and control system, which will allow the management staff of the organization obtaining reliable information about the external and internal environment of financial and economic activities of the company. The concepts of formation of accounting and control system considered in the article allow judging the level of economic security of the organization, which forms the basis of the constituent basic elements of the activities. The purpose of the study is to develop the means to improve economic security of the company while implementing accounting and control functions of the organization. The research methodology is based on scientific research, system analysis and logical modeling of the processes and phenomena, graphical construction and of assumptions and hypotheses formation. As a result of the analysis, a list of preventive measures is proposed to prevent the threats to economic security of the system. The directions of accounting and control environment improvement are shown through augmented system of classification of threats to economic security taking into account functional goals and structural elements of accounting and control system,. The considered measures will ensure accounting and control system adaptation to the conditions of functioning in internal and external environment, will allow taking into account specific risks depending on the type of the organization activity, and will affect the efficiency and relevance of management decisions.

The article proves the importance of using modern information technologies in the training of pedagogical and management staff in the sphere of education. The meaning of information technologies in the process of forming the head’s of the educational institution information culture is defined. The analysis of the peculiarities of its formation is given. New applications of information technologies adapted to work in educational institutions and the possibility of their successful implementation are presented. The article suggests that information processes are aimed at forming a unique open educational environment, ensuring its accessibility, providing opportunities for updating, developing and improving the quality and efficiency of educational services. The use of the information technology approach is based on the LLL (lifelong learning) paradigm that implies the concept of continuous education, its internationalization and diversification. The efficiency of the educational process in the training of teachers and heads of educational institutions depends on the high-quality content of electronic educational resources. Electronic resources are components of the educational process and important parts of the information and educational environment. The most important directions of its development are content, technical support and maintenance of information sites, monitoring the level of information and professional competence of pedagogical workers, providing informational assistance to teachers in creating individual sites, improving their computer and technical literacy. The use of new models, information and communication technologies in educational institutions makes possible to create a unique information environment where educational regulatory documents, educational and methodical materials, monographs, tutorials are placed, which altogether can help pedagogical workers to improve the educational process and increase the level of pedagogical skills. The use of educational information and communication technologies in terms of innovative models implies the use of electronic lecturers, simulators, textbooks, encyclopedias; development of situational role-playing and intellectual games using artificial intelligence; modeling of different processes and phenomena; distance learning; conducting interactive educational teleconferences; construction of systems of control and verification of students' knowledge and skills (use of control test programs); creation and maintenance of educational institutions websites; creating presentations; carrying out design and research activities.

Immunogenicity and safety of an ORF7-deficient skin-attenuated and neuro-attenuated live vaccine for varicella: a randomised, double-blind, controlled, phase 2a trial

The Oka varicella vaccine strain remains neurovirulent and can establish lifelong latent infection, raising safety concerns about vaccine-related herpes zoster. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of a skin-attenuated and neuro-attenuated varicella vaccine candidate (v7D vaccine). We did this randomised, double-blind, controlled, phase 2a clinical trial in Jiangsu, China. Healthy children aged 3-12 years with no history of varicella infection or vaccination were enrolled and randomly assigned (1:1:1:1) to receive a single subcutaneous injection of the v7D vaccine at 3·3 log10 plaque forming units (PFU; low-dose v7D group), 3·9 log10 PFU (medium-dose v7D group), and 4·2 log10 PFU (high-dose v7D group), or the positive control varicella vaccine (vOka vaccine group). All the participants, laboratory personnel, and investigators other than the vaccine preparation and management staff were masked to the vaccine allocation. The primary outcome was assessment of the geometric mean titres (GMTs) and seroconversion rates of anti-varicella zoster virus immunoglobulin G (IgG) induced by different dose groups of v7D vaccine at 0, 42, 60, and 90 days after vaccination in the per-protocol set for humoral immune response analysis. Safety was a secondary outcome, focusing on adverse events within 42 days post-vaccination, and serious adverse events within 6 months after vaccination. This study was registered on Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, ChiCTR2000034434. On Aug 18-21, 2020, 842 eligible volunteers were enrolled and randomly assigned treatment. After three participants withdrew, 839 received a low dose (n=211), middle dose (n=210), or high dose (n=210) of v7D vaccine, or the vOka vaccine (n=208). In the per-protocol set for humoral immune response analysis, the anti-varicella zoster virus IgG antibody response was highest at day 90. At day 90, the seroconversion rates of the low-dose, medium-dose, and high-dose groups of v7D vaccine and the positive control vOka vaccine group were 100·0% (95% CI 95·8-100·0; 87 of 87 participants), 98·9% (93·8-100·0; 87 of 88 participants), 97·8% (92·4-99·7; 91 of 93 participants), and 96·4% (89·8-99·2; 80 of 83 participants), respectively; the GMTs corresponded to values of 30·8 (95% CI 26·2-36·0), 31·3 (26·7-36·6), 28·2 (23·9-33·2), and 38·5 (31·7-46·7). The v7D vaccine, at low dose and medium dose, elicited a humoral immune response similar to that of the vOka vaccine. However, the high-dose v7D vaccine induced a marginally lower GMT compared with the vOka vaccine at day 90 (p=0·027). In the per-protocol set, the three dose groups of the v7D vaccine induced a similar humoral immune response at each timepoint, with no statistically significant differences. The incidence of adverse reactions in the low-dose, medium-dose, and high-dose groups of v7D vaccine was significantly lower than that in the vOka vaccine group (17% [35 of 211 participants], 20% [41 of 210 participants], and 13% [27 of 210 participants] vs 24% [50 of 208 participants], respectively; p=0·025), especially local adverse reactions (10% [22 of 211 participants], 14% [30 of 210 participants] and 9% [18 of 210 participants] vs 18% [38 of 208 participants], respectively; p=0·016). None of the serious adverse events were vaccine related. The three dose groups of the candidate v7D vaccine exhibit similar humoral immunogenicity to the vOka vaccine and are well tolerated. These findings encourage further investigations on two-dose vaccination schedules, efficacy, and the potential safety benefit of v7D vaccine in the future.

The Mediating Effect of Organizational Capabilities and High-Performance Work System on the Relationship between Transformational Leadership Style and Competitive Advantage of Selected Manufacturing Firms in Kenya

The aim of this research was to examine the mediation effect of Organizational Capabilities and High-Performance Work System on the relationship between Transformational Leadership and Kenya's selected manufacturing firms' competitive advantage. Data from 400 senior management staff of sampled firms with an employment level of between fifty-one (51) and five hundred persons (500) were collected using a descriptive research design. By adding together all of the codes from all 400 respondents, the mean responses on a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5 for each of the tested items were determined. The researcher equated the firms' competitive advantage with a reality phenomenon that prevails in Kenya, particularly in the manufacturing sector. Hence, in the spirit of accuracy, the researcher examined its prevalence and predicators by reviewing relevant empirical literature that concerned theories. It is from this that a conceptual framework was constructed with a set of variables: Transformational Leadership (TL) as an independent Variable (IV), Organizational Capabilities (OCs) as the first mediator (M1), High-Performance Work System (HPWS) as the second mediator (M2) and Competitive Advantage (CA) as the dependent Variable (DV). According to the study's findings, manufacturing companies face difficulties in gaining a competitive advantage. As a result, managers should develop a high-performance work system that can influence the firms' organizational capabilities and help them attain a competitive advantage. The study's findings add to the body of knowledge regarding Human Resource Practices, specifically HPWS and extend the literature on the relationship between Transformational Leadership, Organizational Capabilities, and Competitive Advantage. Ultimately, the study established that Organizational Capabilities mediated the relationship between Transformational Leadership and Competitive Advantage for manufacturing firms in Kenya. Additionally, the findings clarified the alignment of Organizational Capabilities and HPWS with CA for manufacturing firms in Kenya.

Health sciences students' perspectives on online teaching and learning: Extending the implications beyond the COVID‐19 pandemic

AbstractDigital transformation in education and relevant calls for action are recognised global priorities aimed to support education and training in the digital age. The experiences from the emergency remote teaching during the COVID‐19 pandemic and recent research findings reveal relevant advantages, challenges, as well as different students and teaching staff perspectives which should be carefully considered and integrated into institutional strategies and policies to improve and enrich students’ learning experience. The present study aimed to explore health sciences students' perspectives on online teaching and learning (T&L) in four domains—Satisfaction, Motivation, Interaction and Challenges, and to identify the preferred T&L models or tools. A total of 1,041 responses were collected, including 476 dental medicine (45.7%), 399 pharmacy (38.3%), and 166 medical students (15.9%). Overall Satisfaction was quite high (4.0 ± 1.2; out of 5), followed by satisfactory Interaction (3.4 ± 1.4), whereas Motivation was quite low on average (3.0 ± 1.5). Challenges in online T&L were not markedly expressed (3.0 ± 1.6). The majority of students (46.6%) opted for the blended model as the preferred T&L model. Moodle lessons were perceived as the most useful online T&L tool (45.5% of students), followed by video materials (32.2%). Other T&L tools which require more active student's role, such as short test/quiz, and group or team assignment were declared as less favourable. The findings from the current study may contribute to raising the awareness of academic staff and higher institutions management about the student attitudes and needs related to online T&L and inform institutional planning, decision‐making and policy development.

Assessing the impact of a cleaning programme on environmental hygiene in labour and neonatal wards: an exploratory study in The Gambia.

Effective surface cleaning in hospitals is crucial to prevent the transmission of pathogens. However, hospitals in low- and middle-income countries face cleaning challenges due to limited resources and inadequate training. We assessed the effectiveness of a modified TEACH CLEAN programme for trainers in reducing surface microbiological contamination in the newborn unit of a tertiary referral hospital in The Gambia. We utilised a quasi-experimental design and compared data against those from the labour ward. Direct observations of cleaning practices and key informant interviews were also conducted to clarify the programme's impact. Between July and September 2021 (pre-intervention) and October and December 2021 (post-intervention), weekly surface sampling was performed in the newborn unit and labour ward. The training package was delivered in October 2021, after which their surface microbiological contamination deteriorated in both clinical settings. While some cleaning standards improved, critical aspects such as using fresh cleaning cloths and the one-swipe method did not. Interviews with senior departmental and hospital management staff revealed ongoing challenges in the health system that hindered the ability to improve cleaning practices, including COVID-19, understaffing, disruptions to water supply and shortages of cleaning materials. Keeping a hospital clean is fundamental to good care, but training hospital cleaning staff in this low-income country neonatal unit failed to reduce surface contamination levels. Further qualitative investigation revealed multiple external factors that challenged any possible impact of the cleaning programme. Further work is needed to address barriers to hospital cleaning in low-income hospitals.

Analisis Kesehatan Dan Keselamatan Kerja di PT Safindo Raya

Accidents or injuries at work can disrupt the productivity and operational efficiency of PT. Safindo Raya. The research background may include efforts to identify and reduce factors that can cause these disorders, thereby increasing the overall efficiency of the company. One of the main objectives of K3 research is to improve employee safety in the workplace. Research can help in identifying potential risks, analyzing the causes of accidents or incidents, and developing strategies to prevent similar incidents in the future. Companies such as PT. Safindo Raya may have an obligation to comply with K3 regulations and standards set by the government or regulatory bodies. K3 research can help companies ensure that they comply with all applicable regulations and achieve the required safety standards. OSH research can also contribute to increasing productivity and efficiency in the workplace by reducing absenteeism due to work-related injuries or illnesses, reducing production downtime due to accidents, or identifying ways to promote safer and more efficient work processes. With this approach, information is collected through questionnaires or interviews with employees, management or K3 staff. These surveys may include employees' perceptions of OSH conditions in the workplace, their understanding of safety procedures, or specific problems they encounter in carrying out their duties. The majority of employees show a high level of awareness of the importance of K3 in the workplace. They expressed an understanding of the importance of using personal protective equipment (PPE) and existing safety procedures. Interview results indicate that expansion of K3 training may be necessary to make employees aware of each job they have a comprehensive understanding of potential risks in the workplace and the precautions that must be taken.

ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF THE SARS-COV-2 PANDEMIC ON EARNINGS MANAGEMENT BEHAVIOUR IN POLAND

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic turbulence on the extent and intensity of earnings management practices according to the opinions of representatives of non-financial companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE). Methodology. This study is based on the method of standardised computer-assisted questionnaire interviews (CATI). The research sample consisted of 37.1% of all companies indexed on the WSE Main Market that do not operate in the banking, insurance or capital market services sectors. The target respondents were managers, employees of financial and accounting services and other persons authorised by the company's managerial staff representatives. Results. The survey findings showed that the economic turbulence caused by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic contributed to an increase in earnings management activities in public companies. Respondents who reported that the companies they represented deliberately manipulated earnings were much more confident about the negative impact of the pandemic crisis on the quality of reported data. An interesting finding of the research is that respondents who had experienced earnings management in their professional practice were more likely to believe that the pandemic had distorted the credibility of reported earnings. Finally, the study provided statistical evidence that respondents from larger companies were more likely than respondents from smaller companies to say that the economic crisis related to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic contributed to an increase in earnings management activities. Practical implications. This investigation may draw the attention of market participants to the deterioration in the financial reporting of non-financial public companies during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The intensification of profit manipulation may not only distort the current perception of the company's economic performance, but also deteriorate the future value of companies. In addition, the findings provide valuable information for statutory auditors, as they highlight potential audit risks that may arise with the onset of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Value/originality. Unlike most studies on the subject, this research does not focus on the estimated values of discretionary accruals, but on the knowledge and experience of financial professionals who are familiar with the specifics of the Polish capital market. An original contribution to the literature is the inclusion in the study of potential factors that could influence the respondents' perception of the impact of the consequences of the SARS-CoV-2 turbulence on the pattern and intensity of the earnings management phenomenon.

Artificial Intelligence In HR: Enhancing Recruitment and Employee Management

As business sectors evolve, human resource management (HRM) encounters new difficulties that need to be tackled to promote the optimal growth and advancement of the firm. This study examines how Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is used in human resource departments for recruitment, onboarding, employee retention, compensation management, and general staff management. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with HRM practices is changing how firms attract, oversee, and involve their employees. Artificial intelligence enables machines to make decisions more accurately than humans by analysing previous data and behavioural patterns. Due to this change, machines have taken over all physical tasks, leading HR professionals to take on more strategic responsibilities. The advantages of utilizing artificial intelligence in several departments of human resource management have been outlined, along with the obstacles encountered while integrating AI in HRM. This article will address the advantages of AI for firms looking to improve the efficacy and efficiency of their human resource functions.

The role of green innovation in the relationship between green HRM practices and sustainable business performance; evidence from the mining industry

PurposeDrawing on the natural resource-based view (NRBV) theory, the study aimed to examine the mediating role of green innovation (GI) in the nexus between green human resource management practices (Green HRMPs) and sustainable business performance (SBP).Design/methodology/approachThis study adopted the descriptive time-lagged research design. Data were collected from 278 managerial staff of five mining companies in Ghana at different waves within a 3-month interval. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data received using the statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) statistics (V. 26.0) and Smart PLS (V.4.0).FindingsThe study found that Green HRMPs significantly related more to economic performance (EP) than social performance (SP) but did not significantly relate to environmental performance (EnP). Moreover, the results revealed that GI partially mediated the nexus between Green HRMPs and both SP and EP but fully mediated the link between Green HRMPs and EnP.Originality/valueThe relevance of Green HRMPs in ensuring corporate sustainability has been largely established in the extant literature. However, there is an evidential dearth of studies in the literature concerning the mediating role of GI in the nexus between Green HRMPs and SBP, especially in developing economies context. Hence, this study serves as a significant contributing card from Ghana by advancing the NRBV theory.

Providing holistic end-of-life care for people with a history of problem substance use: a mixed methods cohort study of interdisciplinary service provision and integrated care

Harmful use of illicit drugs and/or alcohol is linked to life-limiting illness and complex health and social care needs, but people who use substances and have complex needs do not receive timely palliative care and fail to achieve quality standards for a good death. They and their families often require support from multiple health and social care services which are shown to be poorly integrated and fail to deliver interdisciplinary care. This study aimed to identify the existing barriers and facilitators within and between services in providing this population with a good death. Using a mixed methods approach of survey, focus groups and semi-structured interviews, we explored the perspectives of practitioner and management staff across a range of health and social disciplines and organisations in one combined authority in a large city in the north west of England. Our findings indicate that practitioners want to provide better care for this client group, but face structural, organisational and professional boundary barriers to delivering integrated and shared care. Differences in philosophy of care, piecemeal commissioning and funding of services, and regulatory frameworks for different services, lead to poor and inequitable access to health and social care services. Ways forward for improving care are suggested as bespoke hostel-based accommodation for palliative care for this client group, and specialist link workers who can transcend professional and organisational boundaries to support co-ordination of services and support. We conclude that it is no longer adequate to call for more training, better communication and improved joint working. Complex care at the end of life requires creative and cohesive systemic responses that enable multi-disciplinary practitioners to provide the care they wish to give and enables individuals using substances to get the respect and quality service they deserve.

Digital loans and buy now pay later from LendTech versus bank loans in the era of ‘black swans’: Complementarity in the area of consumer financing

Research background: People who take non-banking loans are primarily perceived as excluded from accessing bank services. The growth of e-commerce and the increasing digitalisation of customer interactions with banks was particularly accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic (the first ‘black swan’). These processes have also influenced the rapid growth of the LendTech (LT) sector within FinTech with its digital loans and buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) services. The war in Ukraine (the second ‘black swan’) has led to an energy crisis, increased inflation, interest rates and credit costs, and reduced credit accessibility. In this context, the following research questions are addressed: Are the LT and banking sectors complementary or substitutive in the area of consumer financing? Does complementarity apply to all customer segments and loan amounts? How does the extent of complementarity or substitutability of the LT sector depend on, and to what extent do changes in the regulatory and macroeconomic environment affect, the interaction between the banking and LT sectors? Purpose of the article: The aim of the article is to identify trends in the LT sector within FinTech in the context of assessing the scale and determinants of current and future complementarity of the non-bank sector and the banking sector in the area of consumer credit in time of black swans. An additional purpose of the article is to estimate revenues from the basic operating activities of companies from the on-line channel. Methods: The research process was multi-stage and the research procedure was structured. Due to the lack of a uniform source of data on LT products and services, the study used many data sources — data from the Credit Information Bureau, a primary nationwide survey on LT users a primary survey of people representing LT's managerial staff. The selection of LTs was carried out according to the concept of the monetary sampling unit. The Horvitz-Thompson estimator with Sen‐Yates‐Grundy variance form was used to estimate net operating income for LT from the online channel in 2021. Findings & value added: The LT companies surveyed state that black swans (the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine) and the current macroeconomic situation have not significantly affected demand for non-banking loans. The reduction in the opportunities for the LT sector as a result of anti-usury regulations will only lead to a shift in consumer demand to the pawnshop sector and the shadow economy, which will be detrimental to consumers. Complementarity between LT and the banking sector is revealed especially in crisis situations, thus limiting the effects of market shock (limited supply of loans offered by banks). In periods of stabilisation, a rather clear division of preferences is noticeable – in the case of seniors and loans for higher amounts, banks dominate, while in the case of lower amounts and in younger age groups, non-bank institutions are more popular. The mechanism by which shrinking banking services are replaced by LT in short-term crises confirms the importance of LT in balancing the Consumer Finance market in the face of unstable periods. From a medium- and long-term perspective, it should be noted that inflation and rising interest rates will increase the scale of credit exclusion in commercial banks, shifting part of the demand to the non-bank sector. These phenomena have an international dimension. Similar observations were made already in 2012 by the CFPB in the USA and the British FTA, when analysing the consumer finance market immediately after the subprime crisis, emphasising the effects of limiting access to bank consumer loans and the resulting growth of the LT market (Gębski, 2013).

Strategic Talent Management: Aligning HR Practices with Organizational Objectives for Sustainable Competitive Advantage

The talent management thought, which envelops all parts of human resources by improving representatives' skills and mastery through different ways, is viewed as a foundation in human resource management studies. The financial business is investing some parcel of energy into making proficient faculty management frameworks. This study intends to lay out a connection between talent management and organizational execution as well as to feature the strategic meaning of talent management. Scientists took a gander at what staff management means for an association's general viability. The ongoing review analyzes how government foundations capability corresponding to human resource management. In a financial scene that is changing rapidly because of elements like globalization, financial backer and client requests, and the expansion of items available, government foundations are continually endeavoring to work on their presentation by reducing expenses, modernizing cycles and items, and upgrading quality to remain competitive and make due. An examination of the current review was directed utilizing a quantitative exploration technique. For this examination, an example size of 240 respondents was utilized. Except for the fifth speculation, which guaranteed that "decentralization is decidedly connected with organizational execution," the theories were all observed to be bogus. Thus, it was resolved that decentralization emphatically connected with organizational execution.

Assessing the Managerial Capabilities of Staff: A Systematic Model

Currently, there are many advanced and proven evaluation methods. However, there is practically no work on the systematisation of evaluation criteria considering management levels, tasks, and functions. The purpose of the study is to develop a systemological model for assessing the managerial potential of personnel, which combines the main components that determine the effectiveness of the organisation’s management staff. This study involved 48 males and 34 females aged 23 to 66 years, performing the role and functions of a leader. The primary condition for selecting the participants for the study was based on the level of higher education and managerial experience. All respondents were divided into five groups based on their qualifications, as well as the experiences gained from the management activities. To accomplish the study’s objectives, an evaluation list of criteria was compiled, which made it possible to systematise the managerial potential of personnel based on management levels, tasks, and functions performed. The findings of the study demonstrate systematisation of approaches to managerial potential from the organisation’s perspective, which in turn allowed us to build a systemological model for assessing the managerial potential of personnel.
