RESOURCE OPPORTUNITIES OF YOUTH IN THE OPTIMAL CHOICE OF PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYMENT (TAKING INTO ACCOUNT TODAY'S SOCIAL CHALLENGES)

The article highlights one of the problems of youth social formation - its prospects for economic employment and professional development from the perspective of access to social and economic resources, which are decisive in the professional employment of young people, their professional self-realization and competitiveness in the labor market. As such, the author singles them out and describes them in several groups of factors. These are: access to quality education, resources for professional self-realization, problems of employment, entrepreneurial development and self-employment, which more or less comprehensively reflect the directions of generation of obstacles to the professional involvement of young people at the present time in the field of employment and selfemployment. Both permanent immanent disparities in the field of organization and selforganization of the labor market, which generate such problems, and those generated by the social challenges of the war in Ukraine were taken into account. These are: reduction of state expenditures on higher education and budget places in institutions of higher education, devaluation of received qualifications, destruction of a large share of the labor market in Ukraine, decrease of vacancies, surge of unemployment, destruction of the share of business resources, decrease in the solvency of the population and other. It is emphasized that the possibility of full access (use) of relevant resource institutional opportunities shapes the nature of the relationship between the government and society, levels the growth of socialstatus differentiation, which contributes to the deepening of the social stratification of the population, a decrease in the economic level of youth activity and other.

Парадигма розвитку медичного права в Україні

The article formulates the paradigm of the development of medical law in Ukraine, and also considers the constituent elements that form it. We believe that the legal relations included in the subject of medical law should be divided into two groups. The first group is represented by those relations that arise during the implementation of medical activities in the process of providing medical assistance. That is, the relationship between the doctor and the patient during the implementation of the first diagnostic, treatment and preventive measures. We believe that they are the basis of relations in the field of medicine. The second group of relations includes relations related to the provision of medical care, in particular, in the field of internal organization of the provision of medical services, mandatory medical insurance, control and supervision in the field of health care, licensing and accreditation of medical organizations, etc. We propose to call such relations organizational and legal in the field of medicine, since they are the basis of the emergence of relations in the process of implementing medical activities regarding the provision of medical assistance and ensure its quality provision. It is proved that medical law is an independent complex branch of law, which was formed on the border of profiling branches of law (which, in our opinion, are civil, administrative law, social security law), the subject of which is social relations that arise in the process of implementing medical activities in relation to provision of medical care and organizational and legal relations in the field of medicine. Their legal regulation is based on the combined (imperative-dispositive method). Thus, awareness of the independent sectoral affiliation of medical law will contribute to its further development, improvement of legal regulation of individual sectoral institutes, introduction of new mechanisms of protection and protection of the rights and interests of subjects in the field of health care.

The Mediating Role of Islamic Job Satisfaction on Relationship of Islamic Work Ethics on Intention to Leave

Purpose: This study aims to explore the effect of Islamic work ethics on intention to leave. This study also examines the indirect effect of Islamic work ethics on intention to leave using Islamic job satisfaction as a mediator. Design/methodology/approach: This study used a saturated sampling technique with a sample size of the 77 employee at all Islamic banks in Ternate City, North Maluku Province. SEM-PLS is used to test the hypothesis. Findings: The study results found that Islamic work ethics had a negative and significant effect on intention to leave; Islamic work ethics also had a positive and significant effect on Islamic job satisfaction. Islamic job satisfaction has a negative and significant effect on intention to leave. Islamic job satisfaction partially mediates the influence of Islamic work ethics on intention to leave. Research limitations/implications: Sources of reference regarding Islamic job satisfaction are still conceptual and very limited are the results of research on Islamic job satisfaction in field of management and organization. Practical implications: This research generates theoretical findings in strategic human resource management science which states that values ​​of Islamic work ethics and Islamic job satisfaction will generate benefits for all organizational stakeholders. Social Implications: Values ​​in Islamic job satisfaction and Islamic work ethics will be able to guide a Muslim individual in working from values ​​related to his relationships with fellow humans and values ​​in behavior that in essence humans are created to serve Allah and as the caliph of Allah. as well as to prosper the earth. Originality/value: This research employ Islamic job satisfaction as a mediating variable. Unlike job satisfaction in general, Islamic job satisfaction has several aspects (ruhiyyah, aqliyyah, nafsiyyah and jasadiyyah) to obtain job satisfaction

Ensuring procedural guarantees and the right to a fair trial during the examination of motions to conduct covert investigations

The article aims to determine the general principles of guaranteeing human rights and freedoms during the the investigating judge’s examination of motions of pre-trial investigation bodies and prosecutors for permission to conduct covert investigative actions. The subject of the research is the general principle of guaranteeing human rights and freedoms during the consideration of motions to conduct covert investigative actions by investigating judges and the problems of regulation of these issues within criminal procedure legislation. The article uses general scientific and unique research methods, such as comparative, formal, dogmatic, and dialectical. The study results allowed us to determine the areas of improvement of criminal procedural legislation on motions to conduct covert investigative actions. The need for ensuring human rights and freedoms require such actions. Based on the study results, proposals were made to amend the criminal procedure legislation on the motions for investigative actions. In this regard, the incompleteness of regulations requires appropriate amendments to the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, as proposed by the authors. It is substantiated that implementing these changes will ensure sustainable and effective law enforcement practice in the field of organization and conduct of covert investigations, reduce inconsistencies, and ensure uniformity of approaches to determining sufficient and necessary grounds for interference in private communication.

The state-of-the-art of modern workplace learning: an applied assessment method of a pre-train deep learning on modern learning tools

PurposeThe study discusses the importance of workplace learning in the current era of work and how organisations are shifting their focus toward employee learning and development. It highlights the need for employees to continuously up-skill themselves to keep up with the demand for skills. The purpose of this study is to introduce a modern approach to evaluating workplace learning to promote and enhance better performance within the workplace.Design/methodology/approachIt introduces a deep modern learning approach called “behavior-oriented drive and influential functions of formal and informal learning”. The study also develops the concept of the “Study, Plan, Do, Check, and Act” framework to simulate practise and theory within and outside of work to allow continuous improvement, learning new workplace tools, and bridging digital transformation challenges. The study highlights that workplace learning occurs in a variety of contexts and uses various tools, which poses challenges for the design and development of technology that supports and analyses workplace learning.FindingsBased on behaviour-orientated drive and influential functions for formal and informal learning, a grade of 6.54% days was registered for formal learning tools and 4.89% days for informal learning tools. From the statistics in this study, This study concluded that informal learning tools contribute more to the development of the workplace than formal learning. In informal learning, employees act autonomously at their own will and pace to obtain the required knowledge. The time to acquire knowledge through informal learning tools is shorter than in formal learning. Future relevant research should review more learning tools for formal and informal learning.Practical implicationsModern workplace learning is a key tool for organisations to gain a competitive advantage. Learning based on formal training and development programs, informal learning and knowledge sharing influence the development of human capital resources.Originality/valueThe study combines social science and engineering approaches to enable non-engineers to pioneer execution of tasks and examine their performance based on the approach detailed in the results, methodology and discussion sections. It contributes to the field of learning organisations and organisational learning by exploring the learning processes of modern professionals. By investigating the learning practices and experiences of knowledge workers, this study seeks to identify the factors that promote or learn and the impact of learning on the workplace.

Character Strength and Happiness among Environmental and Educational Volunteers in a Collectivistic Culture

Volunteers participate in charitable activities sincerely without any certain expectations. Concerning this volunteerism, this study aims to investigate the influence of character strength on happiness in environmental and educational volunteers. Employing Seligman's happiness scale as a measurement instrument (α = 0.615) and Peterson and Seligman's (α = 0. 976) Value in Action - Inventory of Strength (VIA-IS) as a measurement instrument to determine character strength, 99 volunteers working in environmental and educational fields of voluntary organizations were recruited. The inclusion criteria for recruiting these participants included male or female participants over 18 years old, active at the organizations for at least six months, unmarried, and living in Yogyakarta. All obtained data were analyzed by using a Spearman correlation analysis technique and a regression analysis technique. The results of this study showed that some of the most influential types of character strength on happiness were leadership (r = 0.354, p = 0.000), appreciation of beauty and excellence (r = 0.337, p = 0.001), gratitude (r = 0.311, p = 0.002), forgiveness (r = 0.305, p = 0.002), and open-mindedness (r = 0.301, p = 0.002). In addition, types of character strength significantly influencing happiness are closely related to collectivistic culture.

Understanding the Recommended Student-To-Counselor Ratio’s Persistence: An Institutional Theory Perspective

For decades the American School Counselor Association has recommended that schools employ one counselor for every 250 students, but there is limited evidence the policy promotes student success. This article investigates the origins of the 60-year-old recommendation, examining how and why it has persisted. Drawing on historical documents, it reconstructs how the 250 number was derived during the 1950s and then uses a framework of institutionalization within organizational fields to explain how the ratio became cemented within and beyond the counseling field. By highlighting how the 250-to-1 recommendation is an anachronism, this article raises questions about its continued relevance.

Demography's Changing Intellectual Landscape: A Bibliometric Analysis of the Leading Anglophone Journals, 1950–2020

Much of what we know about the intellectual landscape of anglophone demography comes from two sources: subjective narratives authored by leaders in the field, whose reviews and observations are derived from their research experience and field-specific knowledge; and professional histories covering the field's foundational controversies, which tend to focus on individuals, institutions, and influence. Here we use bibliographic information from all articles published in the three leading journals of anglophone demography—Demography, Population Studies, and Population and Development Review—to survey the changing contours of anglophone demography's key research areas over the past 70 years. We characterize the field of demography by applying a two-pronged, data-grounded approach from the sociology of science. The first uses natural language processing that lets the substance of the field emerge from the contents of publication records and applies social network analyses to identify groups of papers that talk about the same thing. The second uses bibliometric tools to capture the “conversations” of demography with other disciplines. Our goals are to (1) identify the primary topics of demography since the discipline first gained prominence as an organized field; (2) assess changes in the field's intellectual cohesion and the topical areas that have grown or shrunk; and (3) examine how demographers place their work in relationship to other disciplines, the visibility and influence of demographic research in the broader scientific literature, and the cross-disciplinary translational reach of demographic research. Results provide a dynamic view of the field's scientific development in the second half of the twentieth century and the first two decades of the twenty-first century.

Practising institutional logics: arranging digitalization in cardiology

Institutional logics literature has made an important contribution in understanding non-linear processes of innovation. While some works insist on the importance of considering how the different institutional logics follow each other, and thus on the concepts of power and organisational field, others indicate that in general, theories on innovation management need new theoretical support. One aspect that needs to be considered further is the way in which organisations adopt innovations in the face of institutional ambiguity. This is the case with digitalization and its impact on organisations. Scholars state that digitalization, being an institutional logic by itself, is increasingly being adopted by organisations that struggle to accommodate new belief systems and arrangements with ‘legacy' practices. In this sense, less addressed in this literature is the understanding of the work that organisations need to perform to adopt a new institutional logic. Starting with a case study in a cardiology department in Northern Italy, this paper analyses how a digital health institutional logic is adopted in cardiology by trying to identify the different arrangements constructed by the different organisational and field actors. The work confirms the importance of the institutional logic approach, offering a contribution to highlight how digital transformation in the health sector is mainly characterised by local responses to the challenges faced.

ANALYSIS OF THE COMPONENT ORGANIZATION OF THE SYSTEM OF INTERNAL CONTROL OF CALCULATIONS FOR COMMODITY TRANSACTIONS AT THE ENTERPRISE

It has been established that internal control, as an integral component of the successful operation of the accounting system of a business entity, is an important tool of internal control, the implementation and effective functioning of which is able not only to timely detect violations in the field of organization of accounting at the enterprise, but also to prevent improper display of information and its further accumulation in reporting. The choice of optimal components of the internal control system plays an important role in determining the strategic priorities of the enterprise, and is reflected in the improvement of its reporting indicators. It is proposed to carry out the system of internal control of settlements for commodity transactions by studying the features of the construction of internal control of settlements with suppliers, debtors, as well as the calculation and payment of VAT. For each of the directions, the purpose of the inspection was defined, a list of control procedures was formed, the components of information support were established, and methodological tools were selected. In general, the conducted studies have shown that the construction of an effective SMC of settlements for commodity transactions requires taking into account not only the peculiarities of the business entity’s activity, but also the assessment of the forms of interaction with other systems that collectively form the general system of enterprise management. The effectiveness of SVC calculations is ensured thanks to the selection of a specific set of methodological techniques for each of the verification stages.

Polish Rural Non-Governmental Organizations During the Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract This article describes the extent and nature of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the activities of communitybased organisations in rural Poland. The analytical foundation of the study is the research carried out in 2021 on a sample of three hundred and thirty-three rural NGOs. The negative and positive impact of the pandemic on the activities of these organisations were noted. Negative phenomena include a significant slowing down of existing tasks, abandonment of the completion of projects, an exodus of volunteers and active members. The bottom-up organised activity of the rural third sector during the pandemic also brought about noticeable positive phenomena: a widening of the activity field of organisations by new dimensions, an expansion of the cooperation network of rural organisations, and a significant increase in the appreciation of civic activity as a result of the speed and flexibility of self-help activities.

Timber, horses and dollars in free currency: Film policy cycles and the Italian-Yugoslav 1957 co-production agreements

In this article, we analyse the Italian and Yugoslav film co-productions in the context of the eastern/western politics of the Cold War era. In December 1957, the two countries signed their first co-production agreements, designed to foster reciprocal industrial and artistic cooperation. Although only two official co-productions were made, until the late 1960s, the two film industries cooperated on the making of about 40 films, during which time Yugoslav companies were denied artistic control and downgraded to a labour and locations supplier. By examining archival sources, we demonstrate that Italian state bureaucracy had a pivotal role in making film co-production an organizational field where subjects and institutions interact, regulate power relations and communicate. This allows us to highlight the role of co-production as a form of management of international relations, focusing on issues such as the lack of balance between partners and the financial rationale behind these arrangements.

Codes of Conduct for Undergraduate Teaching in the Top-400 Universities on the Times Higher Education World University Rankings

Teaching codes of conduct form part of the ethics infrastructure of universities seeking to raise teaching standards and promote academic integrity. These codes stipulate desired teaching practices necessary for faculty members to make informed choices regarding their teaching role performance. This study investigated the existence of publicly posted codes of conduct for undergraduate teaching in a random sample of 100 universities ranked among the Times Higher Education World University Rankings top-400 institutions. Based on DiMaggio & Powell’s (1983) model of institutional isomorphism, we posited the Times Higher Education World University Rankings top-400 institutions as an organizational field. Findings reveal tepid isomorphic pressures for codes of conduct in this organizational field as a slight majority of these top universities publicly post codes of conduct with tenets reflective of ethical principles for teaching. Lower ranked universities post codes with more of these tenets than higher ranked universities and in particular tenets very protective of students as clients. These tenets relate to moral behavior and whose ethical infringement have legal ramifications, such as not having sexual relationships with students, harassing students, or teaching while intoxicated from alcohol or drugs. Isomorphic pressures to publicly post codes may be stronger among lower ranked universities that emphasize teaching and research. Since a code of conduct may increase faculty members’ sensitivity to ethical issues but not actually promote ethical behavior, we recommend reinforcement activities for faculty members.

Basic principles of environmental reporting

The subject of research is the theoretical basis for the formation of environmental reporting. The purpose of the article is aimed at generalizing and deepening theoretical knowledge in the field of organization of accounting and reporting of activities of domestic economic entities. The methodological basis of the study is general scientific and special methods of scientific knowledge used at the empirical and theoretical levels of research: comparative, analytical, selective, dialectical, systemic approach, induction and deduction, generalization. Results of work. The relevance of this research topic lies in the huge impact of uncontrolled quantitative pollution on the natural environment, for example, due to ecologically unregulated activities, the soil is depleted, the earth is heated and people begin to develop respiratory diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the activities of the enterprise and form environmental accounting and reporting on its basis in order to reduce the impact on the natural environment, thereby solving the urgent environmental problem. Field of application of results in the activities of enterprises, institutions, organizations. Conclusions. However, in Ukrainian reality, there are gaps in the development and implementation of corporate environmental accounting and reporting, since the government has not defined legislation and other regulatory bodies to reflect the conceptual foundations of environmental accounting and reporting. Concern about environmental responsibility and sustainable industrial development has given rise to a new field of environmental accounting and reporting. Based on this, theoretical foundations of environmental accounting and reporting are studied with a special emphasis on the Ukrainian scenario.

From Public Reason to Public Health: Professional Implications of the “Debunking Turn” in the Global Fact-Checking Field

The global field of fact-checking organizations has experienced a dramatic shift in focus since 2016, from checking claims by politicians and other public figures to policing viral misinformation on social networks. What practitioners call “debunking,” once a minor focus, now dominates the agenda of leading outlets and accounts for the bulk of fact-checks produced worldwide, driven in part by commercial partnerships between fact-checkers and platform companies. This study investigates what this sudden realignment means for fact-checkers themselves, drawing on interviews and meta-journalistic discourse to examine the impact on how these organizations assign value and draw boundaries in their growing transnational field. We highlight different discursive strategies fact-checkers use to explain the debunking turn, depending on their own field position, and show how shifting boundaries reflect wider concerns about autonomy from platform partners. We suggest that debunking discourse illustrates an incipient shift away from the “public reason” model implicit in journalism’s professional logic, to a more instrumental, “public health” model of newswork adapted to a digital media environment dominated by platform companies.

How past trauma impacts emotional intelligence: Examining the connection.

Backed by both research and practice, the organizational psychology field has come to value emotional intelligence (EI) as being vital for leader and employee effectiveness. While this field values EI, it has paid little attention to the antecedents of emotional intelligence, leaving the EI domain without clarity on (1) why EI might vary across individuals, and (2) how to best develop EI. In this article, we rely on neuroscience and psychology research to make the case that past psychological trauma impacts later EI capabilities. Specifically, we present evidence that psychological trauma impairs the brain areas and functions that support EI. Establishing psychological trauma has valuable theoretical and practical implications that include providing an explanation of why EI might vary across individuals and providing a focus for improving EI: healing from past trauma. Further theoretical and practical implications for the field of organizational psychology are provided.

Social Organizations in Rural China: From Autonomy to Governance

AbstractThis article examines the government purchase of social services in China as a window by which to investigate the evolving relations between the party-state and social organizations. Going beyond the conventional focus on state–non-governmental organization (NGO) dynamics in urban areas, we explore the expanded role of social organizations in rural service provision under state-led campaigns of rural modernization. Engaging with institutional theory and the consultative authoritarianism thesis, we argue that NGOs initially operated in an emerging organizational field where they exercised considerable autonomy in setting agendas and designing services. As the party-state's incentives to utilize and co-opt the social work profession grow, however, we observe a trend towards incorporation, wherein social workers now play a bigger role alongside the strengthening of state control over the sector. Through tracing the inception and eventual termination of a decade-long social service project in Guangdong, this article shows how state incorporation might undermine the future role of NGOs in rural development.

Analysis of the Availability of Medicinal Products Used in Virus Hepatitis in the Kyrgyz Republic

The article presents the results of the analysis of the availability of drugs used in the pharmacotherapy of viral hepatitis in the Kyrgyz Republic. The materials of the study were the pharmaceutical market for drugs used in viral hepatitis, data from the regulatory authority in the field of drug circulation and pharmaceutical organizations. Research results. In the Kyrgyz Republic, drugs used for viral hepatitis at the time of the study are represented by 6 international non-proprietary names and 19 trade names imported from 6 countries of the world. When analyzing the affordability of drugs used in viral hepatitis, it was found that the drugs of the tenofovir and Entecovir groups have the highest price liquidity, which indicates the greatest affordability of drugs in this group. In the analysis using the solvency adequacy ratio, drugs of the tenofovir and Entecovir groups also have greater availability for patients with an average income level. In the Kyrgyz Republic, drugs for the treatment of viral hepatitis are more expensive than in other countries, which reduces their affordability for citizens with an average income level. All investigational medicinal products present on the pharmaceutical market of the Kyrgyz Republic are imported into the country by foreign manufacturers.

Drivers and Barriers in the Diversification of Airline Business Models in Turkey (1980-2020): An Institutional Logic Perspective

The primary objective of this study is to explore the diversification of airline business models in Turkey in four decades and show the link between the reasons and logic behind the diversification from the institutional logic perspective. For this purpose, airline business models were examined, and critical events in the organizational field were explored based on secondary data. The case study research was conducted to explore the link between the diversifications of the business model and institutional logic. The unit of analysis in this study is multiple cases, and gathered data were examined with the content analysis method. The results show that multiple institutional logics (state and commercial logic) in the field can pave the way or prevent diversifying airline business models. Multiple logics shape the regulations and approaches of the state and other organizations in the field, and these changes may play a role as a barrier or driver for diversification. Each barrier and driver may affect each airline's business model differently. This study contributes to business models and institutional logics literature by providing evidence of the effect of the pattern of approaches of the actors on the airline business models and by showing the relations between these approaches and institutional logic.
