The improvement of competences in relation to the solution of everyday tasks of production practice is best carried out in the process of training at the workplace due to the combination of acquired theoretical knowledge with practical experience. An urgent task of evaluating the effectiveness of training at the workplace is the diagnosis of the level of preparedness of the personnel of a multimedia company for scientific and technical activities, which can be carried out on the basis of the use of an appropriate information model of personnel development. The purpose of the article was to implement the development of a system model for the formation of professional skills in specialists of multimedia technologies of the polygraphic profile. The article proposes a method of informational support for personnel development through on-the-job training. As a framework that explains the knowledge and skills for the effective implementation of training in the workplace, the current content of competencies is considered. The key areas of personnel qualities related to multimedia technologies are systematized. As part of the conducted research, an information model was created and competence formation was tested within the framework of the relevant modules. The impact of engineering and organizational skills on improving the competencies of multimedia technology specialists is considered. The main components of success in the formation of professional skills of personnel as a result of training at the workplace are considered and analysed. As a result of the work carried out, recommendations were made on the diagnosis of the levels of training of personnel of multimedia and computer companies to improve their own scientific and technical activities, the choice of the content of professional training of specialists in the multimedia profile, the application of a systematic approach to the formation of relevant skills and abilities. A morphological matrix of the formation of technical creativity skills of the personnel of a multimedia company in the process of training at the workplace was created. With the help of Shannon’s information system, a mathematical model of the formation of relevant special modules of competences was obtained. Emphasizing the technical component, the influence of engineering and organizational skills in the process of training at the workplace is considered. The entropy level of the learning system was calculated before and after receiving information. The dependence of entropy on the level of acquired knowledge was analysed. The practical significance of the obtained results lies in the formation of practical recommendations for the management of computer and multimedia companies for the organization of training at the workplace, as a result of which employees receive positive incentives for the development of relevant competencies.

Implementation Of Gender Equality Education In The Boarding School Tarbiyatul Mu'allimat Al-Islamiyah Al-Amien Prenduan Sumenep

Education and pesantren are two parts that cannot be separated for the survival of the students. One of the bad stigmas among society is that a woman is marginalized by men, so there are many cases of harassment or even violence against a woman. With the existence of islamic boarding schools in Indonesia, it turns out that it has a change in the order of society to raise the degree of women in Indonesia. That men are now also activists to maintain the existence of a woman. The existence of this islamic boarding school provides a solution to raise the degree of a woman because in pesantren today it has taught several skills and education based on gender equality education. Thus, female students can grow and develop with confidence to defend themselves to be able to compete with a man. In this study, researchers used a qualitative field approach with a type of case study research. While the method in collecting data, researchers use three methods, namely observation, interview and documentation. Meanwhile, the data analysis technique is through data reduction, data exposure and data verification. The form of implementation of gender equality education management applied in tarbiyatul mu'allimat al-islamiyah is leadership and management training, worksop improvement of group leaders and organizational skills among female students while the advantage of this implementation is the confidence of each student to be able to compete with a man and have a trustworthy and honest leadership spirit. Meanwhile, the drawback is that there are some students who are indifferent in carrying out and implementing the discipline of islamic boarding schools that have been mutually agreed upon, both kyai, teachers and students.

Automatisasi Proses Robotik dan Dampaknya Pada Akuntansi

This study aims to examine the consequences of human-machine collaboration in accounting and develop methods to address potential negative impacts such as human-robot competition, accidental changes in organizational structure, skills decline and skill building, knowledge management, and knowledge bias. The potential of RPA in accounting process automation is large and can replace the role of accountants significantly. This resulted in the loss of entry-level accounting positions, but also created new roles as business advisors and RPA transformation leaders. Accountants of the future will need to improve their soft, technological and data management skills. Research is needed to integrate these skills in accounting education and identify the negative impacts of robot use, as well as the financial and non-financial effects of RPA implementation. This study highlights the impact and potential of RPA in accounting while also providing a new picture of RPA automation in accounting processes with an emphasis on the evolutionary nature of RPA, so it provides insight into how this technology can transform the accounting profession. This study uses the literature review method used as a basis to suggest future research directions related to challenges and problems associated with RPA in accounting. The results of this study show that, RPA has the potential to transform the field of accounting and highlight several research areas in the future, including the consequences of human-machine collaboration, the limitations and barriers of automation, and the development of new roles and skills in accounting education. The study suggests future research directions to address RPA-related challenges and issues in accounting. In addition, understanding the full impact and potential of RPA in accounting is needed before continuing research into the same area.

EDUCATION IN THE PHYSICAL CULTURE OF STUDENTS

Modern youth must orient themselves to new technologies, possess a wide range of competencies, make independent decisions, and show a creative approach to solving emerging problems. The presence of all the listed aspects in the younger generation can be guaranteed only by developing research skills. However, it is necessary to form these skills taking into account the requirements of the modern world and the accelerating technological progress. The phenomenon of STEM education, which is gaining popularity, can be considered one of the areas of innovation in recent pedagogy. Many countries are already implementing STEM ideas in educational institutions, achieving positive results in increasing the importance of education.
 The relevance of the study is confirmed by the presence contradiction between the need to modernize approaches, forms, methods, technologies for the formation of research skills and the predominance of traditional education models. The revealed contradiction allowed us to formulate a research problem: what are the possibilities of using STEM education in the process of physical education of students? The following were used to achieve the goal of research methods: psychological analysis-pedagogical literature on the problem of research, modeling of the process of physical education of schoolchildren in the conditions of implementation of STEM education. The publication reveals the concepts and principles of STEM education and describes the requirements for STEM projects and STEM lessons in general and in physical culture in particular. Examples of the implementation of STEM technologies in the physical education of students of general secondary education institutions are given.
 A special place is given to information and computer technologies in the implementation of STEM education. It was determined that STEM education is an innovative approach to the development of a modern school, which provides support for modern education in the country and contributes to increasing the level of formation of research skills of schoolchildren. The formation of research skills in physical education students in the conditions of STEM education is a system of purposeful work on design, modeling and construction. The model (project) should consist of interconnected modules: target (represented by the social order of modern society and approaches, principles, tasks that ensure the achievement of the set goal); meaningful (revealed by a specially developed additional educational program); organizational and operational (characterized by a complex of methods, forms and means, necessary for the effective formation of research skills in schoolchildren); evaluation-resultative. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the structure of physical education skills of schoolchildren acquired through the elements of STEM education consists of four groups: organizational (skills that allow planning and effectively organizing research work); search (skills that have the ability to find a research problem and select adequate research methods for solving it); informational (skills involving work with literary and technical means of information); evaluation (skills that allow you to argue your opinion in the evaluation of your own and third-party works).

External factors such as the economic environment, technological developments and government regulations greatly affect the application of accountability accounting, especially in the revenue and profit centers, greatly affect the performance assessment.

Functional and microstructural plasticity following social and interoceptive mental training.

The human brain supports social cognitive functions, including Theory of Mind, empathy, and compassion, through its intrinsic hierarchical organization. However, it remains unclear how the learning and refinement of social skills shapes brain function and structure. We studied if different types of social mental training induce changes in cortical function and microstructure, investigating 332 healthy adults (197 women, 20-55 years) with repeated multimodal neuroimaging and behavioral testing. Our neuroimaging approach examined longitudinal changes in cortical functional gradients and myelin-sensitive T1 relaxometry, two complementary measures of cortical hierarchical organization. We observed marked changes in intrinsic cortical function and microstructure, which varied as a function of social training content. In particular, cortical function and microstructure changed as a result of attention-mindfulness and socio-cognitive training in regions functionally associated with attention and interoception, including insular and parietal cortices. Conversely, socio-affective and socio-cognitive training resulted in differential microstructural changes in regions classically implicated in interoceptive and emotional processing, including insular and orbitofrontal areas, but did not result in functional reorganization. Notably, longitudinal changes in cortical function and microstructure predicted behavioral change in attention, compassion and perspective-taking. Our work demonstrates functional and microstructural plasticity after the training of social-interoceptive functions, and illustrates the bidirectional relationship between brain organisation and human social skills.

To what extent does organizational learning influence the stakeholder pressure–green procurement nexus? Evidence from Ghana

The United Nations has described global warming as reaching a code red point for humanity and requires drastic measures to avert further terrible warming. Green procurement practices have been recognized as sustainable measures towards a low carbon trajectory, yet its implementation is still at the embryonic stage mainly due to weaknesses in organizational creativity skills and learning strategies. For the first time, we provide a theoretical framework that links stakeholder pressure, organizational learning, green procurement, and environmental performance within a public–private partnership environment. The analysis in this study is performed using the partial least square structural equation modelling and a sample of 295 respondents from Ghanaian infrastructure projects. Overall, we have found that exploratory and exploitative learning are necessary to translate stakeholder pressure to implement green procurement practices effectively. Also, firms that yield to stakeholder pressure develop their creative skills and increase their environmental performance. We recommend that managers should consider frequent market research and consistent stakeholder dialogue to create a culture of learning towards green practice implementation and promote environmental sustainability.

THE RELEVANCE OF TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP IN THE CONTEXT OF THE COMPETENCE APPROACH IN PRE-SCHOOL

. In the context of the ongoing changes in the education system of Latvia, the principles of learning approach in pre-school education are based on the competence-based approach, as well as the development of transformative skills. To successfully implement change, the need to develop teachers' creativity, entrepreneurship, decision-making, organisational skills, teamwork, cooperation, sociability, risk-taking and assessment, openness to innovation, reflective thinking and leadership skills becomes essential. Today, it is important for every teacher to strive for professional development and to achieve individual and collective goals. Leadership skills include the ability to motivate others, good communication skills, positive thinking, delegation of responsibilities, creativity, reliability, responsibility, time management, influence, and decisiveness. Change can also be difficult to be accepted and even can become a reason for leaving a teaching job. Leaders who can accept contemporary challenges, communicate effectively with others, and facilitate the development of leadership skills in colleagues become important in every educational institution. The aim of this publication is to research and evaluate the scientific literature on the relevance of transformational leadership, highlighting the need for developing each teacher`s leadership skills.

Curriculum Innovations: Developing an EEG Workshop for Hands-on Training in Electroencephalography During Resident Rotation in Clinical Neurophysiology

ABSTRACT A 3-hour hands-on EEG workshop was conducted as a part of resident rotation in clinical neurophysiology to determine its feasibility and educational value for neurology residents, medical students, and EEG technologists, with the learning objectives of motivating interest in clinical electroencephalography, enhancing ability to recognize a normal EEG and identify physiological and non-physiological artifacts, and enhancing teaching, organizational and communication skills of EEG technologists. The workshop included a demonstration of EEG electrode placement according to the 10–20 System on a resident volunteer by the EEG technologist. Activation procedures (photic stimulation and hyperventilation) were demonstrated to the residents during the 25-minute recording. A board-certified epileptologist later reviewed the record with the residents. Resident and EEG technologist feedback on the workshop was obtained via non-formal e-mail request. All residents rated the workshop highly and found it more engaging and motivating than the didactic EEG lecture in which basics of EEG recording are reviewed. The residents gained improved awareness and appreciation of the role of the technologist and the skill and time involved in obtaining an EEG record. The EEG technologist appreciated the face-to-face interaction with the residents and felt part of the patient care team. A hands-on EEG workshop as a part of resident clinical neurophysiology rotation is feasible, effective, and motivating in teaching residents and medical students the basis of EEG recording and recognition of common physiological and non-physiological artifacts in a normal record.

PUBLIC POLICIES TO SUPPORT SMES’ ACCESS TO FINANCING: BETWEEN CHALLENGES OF CRISES AND THE FUNCTIONING OF MARKETS

Access to finance for small and medium-sized enterprises has been identified in many studies as the most important factor determining the survival and growth of SMEs in both developing and developed countries. Access to financing means access to working capital to finance current activity, but also investments and the acquisition of modern technologies, thus ensuring the competitiveness of SMEs, as well as the performance of the economy and society as a whole. Governments, through specialized agencies, often in cooperation with financial regulatory authorities and banking associations, develop various measures and programs aimed at better access to finance for SMEs. Of course, the motivations, scope and success of these initiatives are influenced by the level of development and sophistication of the financial banking sector, by its orientation and composition, by the way in which the various objectives and needs of small and medium businesses are understood. The implementation and prioritization of these programs and schemes are dramatically influenced by the availability of financial and non-financial resources, organizational skills and, finally, the sincerity and stability of dedicated public policies. This paper aims to analyze the impact of financial support policies for SMEs, the effects of crises (economic, financial, pandemic) on these policies, but also the evolution of interest in this type of support at the level of European companies. We found that government financial assistance helps SMEs to improve their financial performance and thus be able to access, in the future, various forms of financing, but also that there are significant differences, by activity sectors, types of companies and, respectively, countries, in regarding the importance and impact of public support to the business sector.

Content of Future Teachers’ Organizational Skills and Ways to Improve Them

The organization of the process in the pedagogical system depends on its elements and participants. The elements of the pedagogical system are: the educational purpose, the content of training, techniques and methods of training and education, organizational forms, means and results of training, management and pedagogical technologies. The implementation of educational activities by a teacher participating in the pedagogical system largely depends on pedagogical skills, including organizational ones. In addition, the teacher can organize an effective educational process taking into account the components of the pedagogical system. In this article the author describes the components of teacher training in the implementation of the pedagogical process, including the types of pedagogical skills. The types of pedagogical activity in research work and their differentiation are considered there. It is indicated that organizational skills differ depending on the purpose of training, the level of pedagogical activity, object and subject. The teacher's pedagogical skills are characterized by the connection of organizational skills with other skills, considered as a managerial matter. In addition, on the part of researchers, it is proposed that organizational skills consist of: designing (research, constructive actions), technological (or activity: organizational, informational, communicative actions), analytical and evaluative (control) actions. The system of training future teachers provides information about their organizational skills: substantive and procedural aspects; intensive and extensive ways from the point of view of the pedagogical system.

Breaking Barriers: The Influence of Teachers’ Attitudes on Inclusive Education for Students with Mild Learning Disabilities (MLDs)

Inclusive educational practices demand social justice where all students with special educational needs have the same right to access education, irrespective of their special needs. Increasingly, across the world, teachers are supporting and defending the inclusion of students with disabilities in mainstream schools and classrooms. This is also the case in Pakistan, the site of this study. However, support and defense are not assurance that such policy is accepted by classroom teachers. Previous research studies have identified some barriers to inclusion and in this regard, the attitudes of teachers have been identified as a barrier worthy of consideration. The present research can contribute to developing insights by suggesting all the factors that can accommodate students with mild learning disabilities (MLDs). The research study aimed to determine the attitudes of teachers towards the education of students with mild learning disabilities, which are due to hereditary and neurobiological reasons that alter the functioning of the brain by affecting one or more intellectual processes associated with learning. The problems of processing can interfere with basic skills of learning, such as reading, writing, and mathematical skills. They can also interfere with higher-order skills, such as organizational skills, abstract reasoning skills, thinking skills, long or short-term memory, and attention span, in an inclusive classroom setting. Using a quantitative research method, data were gathered from N = 230 sample cases of teachers selected through a stratified sampling technique from 10 private primary inclusive schools and 10 private primary non-inclusive schools in Karachi. To identify the attitudes of teachers towards the inclusion of students with MLDs, teachers were asked to respond to validated and reliable tools used in different studies. The research applied variance-based structural equation modeling using the partial least-squares modeling method. Smart PLS 3.0 is software used for variance-based structural equation modeling, and the purpose of using it that the model involves mediation. This tool can show direct and indirect associations among variables simultaneously. The results revealed that there is a weak linear relationship between teachers’ attitudes towards the education of students with a mild learning disability and their practices towards inclusive classroom settings. On the contrary, teachers’ positive attitudes towards mild learning disabilities are predictors of inclusive classroom settings in schools. The weak linear association between teachers’ attitudes and the provision of inclusive classroom settings showed that teachers are not prepared to accommodate mild learning disabilities. However, if teachers’ self-efficacy is increased, then teachers are prepared to accommodate mild learning disabilities. It indicates that teachers with a greater sense of self-efficacy can play a significant role in creating an inclusive environment in schools by employing the provision of relevant resources. The present study recommended certain support mechanisms to school management and provided guiding principles to them on the specific resources required to meet the needs of students with a mild learning disability and to increase the self-efficacy of teachers.

Competences to innovate in the Brazilian textile and clothing Industrie 4.0

For the use of the technologies of the fourth industrial revolution, organizational skills are needed to provide conditions for the implementation of new technologies, which the Brazilian textile and clothing industry does not currently have, so it needs to identify and develop the necessary skills. To this end, it is necessary to search for a robust literary base, which conditions the definition of organizational skills for innovation in this context. The methodology used has four stages. As a result of the search carried out within the theoretical framework, several concepts and definitions of the competencies to innovate in the national industrial context were identified. It was concluded that while the systematic literature review contributes to the understanding of the theme, it is still little addressed in the academic area. The organizational competencies identified will provide conditions for planning and implementing innovation, contributing to industrial competitiveness in the national textile and clothing sector. Keywords: innovation; Industry 4.0; Brazilian Industrie 4.0; textile industry; and organizational competencies.

Integrating the “Design Thinking” Approach into Project Management

Design has the ability to provide new meanings and facts, which is an important driver of value creation. As a result, the integration of design as a business skill in project management and business organizations in general is increasingly being studied and put into practice nowadays. This article provides a brief overview of the existing literature on design management – generally and specifically – in that of projects. Based on it, aspects regarding the possibilities of integrating “design thinking” into the management activities of project organizations have been discovered and deduced. Separately, some more important results of an author’s survey conducted among managers of Bulgarian project-oriented business organizations are provided, regarding the tools they use from the “design thinking” methodology in their usual business and project activities. The study helps establish the existing design practices in our country and reveals opportunities for integrating the method in the management of projects as well.

Psychological and pedagogic support for the development of the self-concept of a student in the educational environment of a military training centre

The author of the article refers to the analysis of the possibilities of the educational environment of the military training centre in the development of the self-concept of future military specialists. The author connects the formation of the self-concept of the student's personality with the presence in the educational environment of the centre of professional standards – carriers of mastery, life and professional positions, – with the process of collective formation and the formation of a moral and psychological climate that sets the system of traditions, norms, values of the environment, the boundaries of socially approved behaviour and relations of future military specialists. The author notes the important psychological and pedagogic aspects of formation of the self-concept of future military specialists, including meaningful and productive social interaction, joint activities; creation of situations that consolidate the experience of emotional and volitional self-regulation, perception, empathy, enrichment of organisational skills of students, enrichment of the experience of introspection, reflection of the movement from self-real to ideal self. The author presents the results of his own empirical research, illustrating the influence of the educational environment of a military training centre on the formation of students' self-concept. In particular, the author shows the dynamics of the psychological atmosphere in the student team, the influence of the socio-psychological climate of the community centre, the development of students' ideas about their own self-concept. Empirical materials made it possible to reveal the dynamics in the development of 5 groups of personal qualities included in the structure of the self-concept, among which the author singles out the socio-moral, strong-willed, communicative, organisational and managerial qualities of future military specialists, their professional readiness.
