Online disclosure of intellectual capital and the determinants: evidence from higher education in Indonesia

PurposeThis study aimed to determine the effect of age, complexity, internationalization, educational background of the vice rector for finance and the presence of professors on intellectual capital disclosure (ICD) in the official websites of Indonesian higher education institution (HEI). It also proved whether there was a difference between ICD in the three types of HEI based on autonomy.Design/methodology/approachThe intellectual capital (IC) instrument used was adopted from Nicolo et al. (2021) and subsequently analyzed 78 HEIs in Indonesia, namely PTNBH, PTNBLU and PTS accredited “Excellent.” The content analysis method and multiple linear regression models were used to test the impact of independent variables, while Kruskal–Wallis was used to conduct a t-test.FindingsThe empirical results showed that complexity, internationalization and the presence of HEI professors had a positive effect, while age and educational background of the vice rector for finance showed an insignificant effect on ICD. The t-test showed there was a difference in ICD among the three types of HEI.Practical implicationsThis study provides new evidence related to differences in ICD practices in three types of HEIs in Indonesia. The research findings are expected to encourage cooperation between the government and HEI to improve regulations for PTNBLU and PTS by referring to regulations that have been applied to PTNBH to improve the quality of universities in Indonesia through increasing international accreditation and the number of professors in HEI.Originality/valueThis study was the first to compare ICD among the three types of Indonesian HEI with new variables, namely the educational background of the vice rector for finance and the presence of professors.

Physical Activity as a Means of Enhancing Students' Academic Performance

This publication addresses the issue of improving the educational system's performance by increasing the academic success of students in higher education institutions through physical activity. The relevance of this scientific problem is extremely high. In the current reality, ensuring a proper quality of education is of paramount importance for Ukraine. The educational system provides the state and society with qualified professional personnel. From the defense sector to healthcare, there is a need for well-prepared professionals. Given this situation, the issue of high-quality student training, who will meet the labor market demand in the future, is particularly pressing. It is also important to note the significant negative impact of the trend of a substantial number of skilled and able-bodied individuals leaving Ukraine. Furthermore, a large number of highly qualified professionals from various fields have been mobilized into the Defense Forces. The labor market currently experiences a shortage in a number of professions. These factors heighten the relevance of the discussed issue. It is also worth noting that at the time of this publication, the higher education system is undergoing reforms. The optimization of the network of higher education institutions is taking place, which may lead to various negative phenomena in the education system for an indefinite period, caused by changes in curricula, personnel, and administrative restructuring in educational institutions, among other factors. It is essential to consider this contemporary challenge. In this regard, developing methods to enhance students' academic performance through all available means is an important task for the educational system. Mass physical activity among students is one of the most effective methods within this problem area. In fact, the main goal of this publication is to demonstrate that systematic physical activity, given the mass involvement of student youth, has significant potential as a tool for improving academic performance in higher education institutions. Systematic physical activity helps combat the negative effects of stress, which adversely affects students' academic activities. Additionally, regular physical exertion has been observed to positively impact cognitive abilities, which is also significant in the context of this publication. However, it is noted that the outlined issue remains a field for extensive scientific and pedagogical work, as the direct impact of regular physical activity on students' academic success is not sufficiently studied, especially in the context of Ukrainian scientific research.

Strategic Management of Human Resources Development (HR) Lecturer at STAI Al Islahiyah Binjai City

This research aims to analyze the strategic management of human resource development for lecturers at STAI Al Islahiyah Binjai. A qualitative approach with analytical methods is this type of research, then data collection efforts are carried out using observation, interviews and documentation methods. The data was declared valid after being tested by data triangulation techniques, and analyzed through the process of data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions. The results of this research conclude that in quantity the number of lecturers continues to increase (increases) every year. Meanwhile, the weakness is that there are still many lecturers who do not have doctoral qualifications and the number of professors is still small. In the learning aspect, integration-based learning has not yet been realized. Research productivity, publications and community service are also still low. Meanwhile, the challenge currently faced is the demand for the availability of professional and qualified lecturers.

According to the results of the medical examination, 6.4% of the subjects were found to have a suspicion of occupational chronic bilateral sensorineural hearing loss.Conclusions: research results indicate that there is a risk of developing occupational pathology as a result of exposure to physical factors. The employer was given recommendations to improve working conditions and preserve the health of workers.

ТРУДОУСТРОЙСТВО ЖЕНЩИН В ПАКИСТАНЕ

Women’s employment in Pakistan has its own characteristics, which are associated both with the level of development of the country and with the local mentality. Standard Western practices remain insensitive to the majority of working women and therefore produce incorrect results. The patriarchal structure of society also contributes to limiting the work of women in a number of professions, but currently there are trends towards changing that situation. As in other countries around the world, working women face phenomena of discrimination at work that are similar to the world’s concerns and specific to Pakistan. Separately, one can note the situation with the lack of jobs for educated female youth, which is partially mitigated by the conditions of marriage for which a diploma is an additional part of the dowry. However, the issue of Pakistani women’s employment needs to be carefully studied with the creation of specific research methods to avoid “blind spots” and social archetypes, so that it will subsequently be possible to both create jobs and level out factors that complicate women’s employment.

Psychological portrait of nurses, exposed to occupational stress

There are a number of professions in which a person begins to experience a feeling of inner emotional emptiness due to the need for constant contact with other people, leading to the development of a stressful state. The aim of the study: to research the clinical and psychological characteristics of nurses in conditions of occupational stress and their correlations in order to create a psychological support program. Results. Formation of appropriate skills and qualities of self-care, maintenance of devotion to one's specialt y, morale, health, and enthusiasm.Conclusion. Success in professional activity is determined by the individual personality features, as well as cognitive and regulatory mental processes that contribute to communication, which is the nature of managerial activity, i.e. its «subject-subject» nature.

Failure to fail or fast tracking to failure: a critical exploration of social work placements

ABSTRACT Failure to Fail” has emerged as a popular soundbite in professions with assessed practice learning requirements and implies that practice educators and mentors are routinely failing to fail students, who do not meet the required placement standards. This suggests there may be people in a number of professions, who are not competent, and may pose potential risks to service users or patients. This position has been particularly vociferous in nursing but has also emerged in social work, albeit more subtly. Given the current dominance of fast track social work programmes in England, (Frontline, Think Ahead and Step-Up) alongside claims that traditional social work education is failing, critically exploring this claim, and in particular the extent of fail to fail in practice placements is timely. The discussion concludes that there is limited empirical evidence of a “failure to fail” in social work education and placements but evidence is stronger in terms of some students being fast tracked to failure. We argue that understanding the reasons why it “might” or “could” be challenging to fail, and why some students are at risk of being fast tracked to failure, is more helpful in strengthening practice education.

NEUROPHYSIOLOGICAL BASIS OF THE COMBINED EFFECTS OF ACUTE STRESS AND LOW DOSES OF IONIZING RADIATION ON HUMAN BRAIN.

to study the clinical and neurophysiological features in the Chornobyl clean-up workers with a verified chronic cerebrovascular disease/cerebral small vessels disease (SVD) exposed to low doses of ionizing radiation (IR), employees of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant (SSE ChNPP), who were exposed to the stress factor of a full-scale war as a result of being held captive by the Russian military at their workplaces, and individuals of the non-irradiated comparison group.Design, object and methods. A cross-sectional clinical study with parallel external control groups. We studied and carried out an expert statistical analysis of the clinical and neurophysiological characteristics of 62 male subjects, from which three examination groups were formed: 1) a randomized sample from the Clinical Epidemiological Register (CER) of the State Institution «National Research Center for Radiation Medicine of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine» (NRCRM) of 22 Chornobyl clean-up workers ('Chornobyl liquidators') in 1986-1990,examined during 2020-2021, aged 50-68 years at the time of examination (M ± SD: (58.1 ± 5.2) years) with a documented external radiation dose of 0.03-2.30 Sv; 2) 24 SSE ChNPP employees exposed to the stress factor impact of a full-scale war as a result of being held captive by the Russian military at their workplaces. The average age of the examined was (54.5 ± 5.8) years (range 46-71 years). 3) Comparison group - 16 non-exposed men with verified chronic cerebrovascular disease/cerebral small vessels disease (SVD). The average age of the examined was (57.8 ± 5.6) years (range 50-70 years). Neurophysiological studies confirm the presence of the pronounced dysfunction of the cortico-limbic system of the left dominant hemisphere of the brain with special involvement of the hippocampus in the Chornobyl clean-up workers. In the SSE ChNPP group, for the first time, the disorders of cerebral neurodynamics were detected in the form of functional hypofrontality and hyperfunction of the cortico-limbic system with lateralization to the right hemisphere. Today there exists a long-term thorough methodological and evidence base for a possible neurophysiological diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the combined cerebral effects of IR and psycho-emotional stress associated with the conditions of military conflicts. Neurophysiological technologies can be used in the objective professional and qualification selection of employees in a number of professions that require quick and responsible decision-making. Employees of SSE ChNPP need further medical and psychological support due to an increased risk of developing mental health disorders.

Vocational education and training (VET) is an integral part of the Ukrainian educational system and an important component of the country�s reconstruction both now and in the long term, due to the large-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. Given this, VET institutions in Ukraine should adapt to the unfavourable conditions of the ongoing russian-Ukrainian war and train qualified workers in accordance with the requirements of the current labor market. As a result of the martial law in Ukraine, starting on February 24, 2022, VET institutions subsequently switched to distance learning, and then, depending on the security situation in the certain region, provide educational services in three different formats (full-time, distance and mixed). By that time, Ukrainian students already had experienced distance learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the introduction of quarantine measures, so this was not a new challenge for most participants in the educational process. However, other problems that had existed in providing quality VET for some time before have crystallized. It is about the proper methodological support of the educational process, one of the main components of which is the availability of the required educational materials. The working hypothesis of this article is that one of the key factors influencing the provision of quality educational services in the VET system is the availability and accessibility of training materials (textbooks), which should be up-to-date, reflect the current needs of society and take into account the needs of the business sector. To test this hypothesis, the article analyzes in detail the survey covering 25 Regional Educational and Methodological Centers of Vocational Education in Ukraine, which was conducted by the authors in 2020. The study found, among other things, that it was an imbalance between the available number of textbooks and the real need for quality educational literature in a number of professions; nearly 50% of vocational training textbooks were outdated and did not reflect trends and changes in the relevant sectors; some textbooks were published in russian in the Soviet era etc. However, in recent years, the situation with the provision of materials for VET education and its accessibility has improved significantly, and today the vast majority of educational materials are available online and are concentrated on several electronic platforms. In order to facilitate and increase the efficiency of further use of educational literature, the authors propose to create a unified e-platform for VET, which will host training materials (textbooks) not only in Ukrainian, but also English-language resources that have proven to be of high quality, in particular, from EU countries.

1930년대 光華大學의 中國近現代史敎育과 ‘敎育의 中國化’

This article explains how the "Sinicization of education," which emerged as a hot issue in the educational community in the 1930s, was implemented in regular university curriculums. To do so, I analyze the modern parts from two history volumes by Lu Simian, a professor of history at Guanghua University. The first history book was published in 1923 and since the second volume, consisting of two volumes, was published in 1940 and 1944, I judged that analyzing the two volumes would reveal how the "Sinicization of education" issue was reflected in the history curriculum. The analysis results are as follows. First, the history department of Guanghua University grew with the active support by President Zhang Souyong from the mid-1930s when it began to implement the goal of "Sinicization of education." The number of professors and students increased and the educational environment improved. Under the leadership of Professor Lu Simian, the history department strengthened research and educational activities. Second, a remarkable achievement in educational activity was initiating the teaching of modern history in earnest. He aimed to promote national consciousness and patriotism through modern history education and systematically educate students about the nation''s future. When Professor Lu Simian began teaching modern history in earnest, his perspective on history changed. Until the 1920s, he thought the purpose of historical research was to explain the causal relationship of historical facts, but in the 1930s, he thought that the purpose of historical research was to present the meaning of historical events, explain the current society through this and even look out into the future. Third, he wrote modern history anew based on a changed view of history. The most significant change was to combine political history with cultural history. By doing so, he wanted to discover why China failed to accommodate Western culture and find cultural resources that could have transformed Chinese society, albeit belatedly. Another change in his writing of modern history was that his criticisms of Japan had become stronger. By doing so, he tried to reflect anti-Japanese nationalism, which emerged socially since the 1930s, to history writing and education. The last change is that he constructed the history after the 1911 Revolution focusing on the Guomindang. By excluding descriptions of the Chinese United Front or solidarity with the Soviet Union, he wanted to present the Guomindang as the player in solving China''s current nationalist challenges.

The Experiences of Indigenous Students on Placement: A Scoping Review

ABSTRACT It has been increasingly recognised that sociohistoric exclusion must be understood, and systemic barriers actively challenged in order for Indigenous students to safely access, participate, and succeed in tertiary education. This includes the field education experience, which is considered core to developing professional identity and competence across a number of professions. This scoping review gathered scarce research literature about Indigenous students’ experience of placement. A systematic search identified 12 sources from 11 studies that described these experiences across the disciplines of social work, education, and nursing. Findings revealed the motivating and challenging lived experiences of Indigenous students, including experiences of racism and discrimination on placement, misrecognition and misrepresentation, and the importance of relationships in facilitating positive placement experiences. Findings also indicated the relevance of implementing unique practice frameworks and offered recommendations for placement for Indigenous students. IMPLICATIONS The placement experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students should be understood through student-led research and voice. Organisers of field education programs can increase their commitment to culturally safe placements by reviewing their processes in the light of this knowledge.

ЦИФРОВІ ПРОФЕСІЇ МАЙБУТНЬОГО: НА ЯКІ ЗМІНИ ЧЕКАТИ ЛЮДСЬКОМУ КАПІТАЛУ В УМОВАХ СТАНОВЛЕННЯ СОЦІАЛЬНОГО ПІДПРИЄМНИЦТВА?

In the article, authors express the opinion that among main trends of the future – the change of a number of professions and positions due to total digitalization and robotization of routine processes. The content of professions will be updated at the expense of creativity, technology and innovation. In the near future, the presence of 5 cognitive technologies is predicted: neuroimaging, cognotropic drugs, cognitive assistants, brain-machine interfaces, artificial sense organs. A number of professions of the future 2030 according to the expectations of futurists and business experts are presented. It has been determined that they are: ethical hacker, cybersecurity specialist, Java developer, digital detox therapist, neuro-manager, robot manager, virtual reality travel manager, product manager, ethical resources manager, cloud architect, companion for the elderly, curator of personal memory, surgeon to increase memory, digital currency advisor, etc. It is argued that the number of cross-cultural contacts is constantly growing in today's globally digitalized world. The opinion is expressed that today the skills of cross-cultural communication, interaction and management are necessary for everyone. Authors present the distribution of expert roles for the implementation of a standard, methodology or technology in the formation of social entrepreneurship. The opinion is expressed that for the development of cooperation and in the conditions of extremely limited human resources of highly qualified experts and the shortage of their time, the main factor of success is the correct distribution of roles between experts of different categories of market participants. It is technology that has made these young people truly “globally oriented” in social and digital entrepreneurship. Being in constant contact through social networks with people from other cultures, regularly consuming global and informational content, the generation of buzzers has become the most “globalized” generation in human history. It is noted that today the newest specialists, namely metachronicians, are in demand. People of this profession serve industrial works, and that is why metachronicles are one of the most in demand in the labor market. Author’s vision of the peculiarities of domestic ageism, which is intensifying in both formal and informal spheres of society in the conditions of virtual reality, is presented. Our own understanding of the differences between the skills of the older generation and the professional abilities of the younger generation through the prism of the domestic socio-economic environment for the development of specialists in various professions.

THE PROCESS OF ASSESSING CORRUPTION RISK IN HIGHER EDUCATION

All government anti-corruption reforms in education are aimed at ensuring the rights and interests of citizens to receive a quality education. With the development of modern public administration and the rapid increase in the number of professions in the private sector, the fight against corruption in higher education is becoming increasingly important. The use of preventive methods in the fight against corruption is widespread in the world, and the use of this area in education provides high efficiency. Corruption risk assessment is one of the most common, integrated preventive methods in the fight against corruption. To this end, the article provides a scientific analysis of the concepts of “corruption risk assessment”, “procedure”, “methods”, and “stages” in higher education, and explains these concepts.

ПРОФЕССИОНАЛЬНОЕ ЗДОРОВЬЕ ПЕРСОНАЛА ПЕНИТЕНЦИАРНОЙ СИСТЕМЫ: СОСТАВЛЯЮЩИЕ И УСЛОВИЯ СОХРАНЕНИЯ

The article touches upon the issues of preserving the professional health of employees of the penal system. The stages of the development of health psychology and its interaction with labor psychology are presented in detail. The components of professional health are analyzed and the features of the professional health of the domestic penitentiary system employees and the health determining factors are presented. The conditions for maintaining the health of the penitentiary system staff are considered. Examining the human conditions that appear in the process of work, scientists note the prevailing ones: fatigue, anxiety and emotional stress. Unfavorable conditions accompanying an employee from year to year indicate professional distress and become risk factors for the development of somatic diseases. Currently, the professional health of employees acts as a resource of the organization and has an impact on management and organizational processes. There are a number of professions that are dangerous and highly dangerous. Our research has revealed the factors leading to the deterioration of the health of the penitentiary system staff, and its manifestations characteristic for the penitentiary system employees. Psychological support of professional activity, including the preservation of professional health, should be carried out as a unified concept throughout all stages of service. Maintaining the professional health of the personnel of the UIS involves carrying out a set of measures aimed at reducing the impact of negative factors, harmonizing the internal state and external conditions of professional activity. Of great importance is the ability of employees to self-preservation. Psychological factors of professional safety are: professional and service motivation, moral and moral stability, stress resistance, low level of anxiety, adequate self-esteem, high learning ability, orientation to cooperation, communication, low conflict, the use of healthsaving technologies.

The Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001: A case study in poor legislative drafting

The Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001 (MDRs) create exemptions to the offences of possession, production, supply, and administration of controlled drugs (CDs), which are necessary to allow healthcare professionals to treat patients without rendering themselves liable to prosecution for various offences under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. As the scope of healthcare in the UK grows to include extended roles for an increasing number of professions, so must the law be amended to allow for these. The MDRs were poorly drafted in their original form, and this has been compounded by twenty years of equally poor amendments, leading to a degree of inaccuracy and ambiguity that is no longer acceptable. These regulations both lack internal consistency, and fail to align with the Human Medicines Regulations, such that neither healthcare professionals, their regulators, nor their representative bodies agree on either the spirit or letter of the law. There are fewer than 30 active regulations in the MDRs, of which more than half contain ambiguities originating from poor drafting. While these could be clarified by a further series of amendments, the time is right to learn from previous mistakes and start over afresh.

Пандемия: возвращение в прошлое или окно в будущее?

The article analyzes political, social, economic and cultural consequences of the COVID‑19 pandemic for French society. The national strategies of the state management of the sanitary crisis that have developed in the world are investigated: the strategy of “zero tolerance to coronavirus”; the strategy of free circulation of the virus; the strategy determined by the formula “stop and go”. France, like many other Western countries, chose the last one, which implied a combination of harsh measures (lockdown, self-isolation, mandatory vaccination, introduction of sanitary passes) with relaxation caused by the demands of business and society. The increased role of the State in the fight against the pandemic is revealed. The political context of the pandemic crisis settlement is revealed: centralization of power; tight control of the head of state over the activities of the Cabinet of Ministers; dominance of political power over the professional medical community; reduction of the parliament’s role. It is shown that under conditions of the sanitary crisis, the process of informatization of production and services accelerated, significant shifts occurred in the labor market, and there was an increase in social and socio-spatial inequality. The problem of the middle class, which continues to fragment, is acute. The pandemic and especially the methods of combating it caused a protest in French society: the French did not just express disbelief in the effectiveness of the vaccine, with their speeches they demonstrated distrust of the authorities and state institutions. The pandemic has shown that France is in dire need of a new social compromise that would take into account not only the interests of global corporations, but also people who have remained beyond the threshold of the information economy. The issue of reviewing the lowest salaries and raising the status of a number of professions is acute.

Navigating Student Resistance in the Classroom: Challenges and Strategies for Female Faculty

The #Me Too movement has called attention to the importance of sexism in experiencing mistreatment in a number of professions. In this paper, we explore the experiences of female college instructors navigating problematic student behaviors, such as interruptions and challenges to classroom management. Drawing on a survey of instructors at U.S. colleges and universities, we outline patterns in problematic student behaviors reported by instructors. Specifically, we demonstrate that instructors who self-identify as female experience a variety of behaviors that are hostile and problematic from students in their delivery of course content. Further, we suggest some strategies for mitigating these issues based on the female faculty surveyed, and areas for further research concerning college instructors’ experiences. In so doing, our work draws attention to the importance of examining and comparing how gender and influences instructors’ classroom experience.

Comparison of the Postgraduate Orthodontics Curriculum in Mashhad Dental School with the Top Ten Dental Schools in the World

Background: Recognizing and reviewing the educational curricula of the specialized fields of dentistry and comparing it with the curricula of the top universities in the world will help to provide the necessary changes and corrections in postgraduate dental education, leading to more skilled specialists. Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the orthodontics post graduate curriculum of Mashhad dental school with the top 10 international dental schools. Methods: Twenty-two of the world's top universities (10 main and 12 reserve) that offer orthodontics postgraduate programs were selected. A checklist including eight key factors and some secondary variables was prepared. These factors were classified as quantitative and qualitative. The checklist was filled with information provided by university websites and contacting program directors using email. A sample t-test and descriptive-analytic approach were respectively used to analyze the quantitative and qualitative data. Results: Among the quantitative factors that were evaluated, only the “percentage of completely treated patients” was significantly lower in Mashhad dental school compared with that of the top 10 international dental schools. There was no significant difference regarding the length of study, the number of professors, and the number of patients visited by each resident. Among the qualitative factors, the most diversity was seen in certificates awarded to graduates. Conclusions: No significant difference was observed in didactic education, clinical training, and research project conduction between the orthodontics post graduate program of Mashhad dental school and top-tier international universities.

Mathematics Prerequisites for Doctoral Level Studies in Finance

This study represents a first step in identifying the mathematics prerequisites for doctoral level studies in finance. We exploit the methodology of triangulation and complete the following three analyses. First, we completed an exhaustive search of the official web pages of all doctoral programs in finance in the United States, and manually noted all suggested mathematics and statistics coursework, if there were any. Second, we sent online surveys to professors and current PhD students in finance from the top-tier universities in the United States, and collected data for quantitative analysis. Third, we interviewed a number of professors and PhD candidates in finance from various universities for qualitative analysis. This study contributes to the literature regarding the role of mathematics in doctoral level programs and research in finance. One of the most intriguing findings of this study is that rigorous training in mathematics (such as learning how to prove) is very important at doctoral level studies in finance. Finally, based on this study, we provide specific recommendations to prospective doctoral students in finance on mathematics coursework, and to program recruiters on posting detailed descriptions of mathematics prerequisites on their web pages.

Auditors’ Responsibility in Assessing Going Concern Assumption Affected by Covid-19

Abstract The Covid-19 pandemic and the measures introduced to prevent its further spread have undoubtedly led to significant business uncertainties regarding the going concern principle. Not only has the global economy experienced negative effects of the pandemic, but a number of professions as well, including auditing. With their significant responsibility in assessing the going concern, auditors face a number of challenges. The aim of this paper is to point out the need for more extensive consideration of auditors in assessing the going concern, as well as the challenges auditors face in a pandemic and the ways in which they overcome these limitations.
