Applications of, and Experiences with, the Norwegian Model in Finland

Abstract The purpose of this article is to describe the development, components and properties of a publication indicator that the Ministry of Education and Culture in Finland uses for allocating direct core funding annually to universities. Since 2013, 13% of the core funding has been allocated on basis of publication indicator that, like the Norwegian model, is based on comprehensive national level publication data that is currently provided by the VIRTA publication information service. In 2015, the publication indicator was complemented with other components of the Norwegian model, namely, quality-weighted publication counts based on national Publication Forum authority list of the publication channels with ratings established by experts in the field. The funding model allocates around 1.6 billion euros annually to universities with the publication indicator annually distributing over 200 million euros. Besides the funding model, the indicator provides comparable data for monitoring the research performance of Finnish universities, fields and subunits. The indicator may also be used in the universities’ local funding models and research management systems, sometimes even at individual level evaluation. Positive and negative effects of the indicator have been extensively discussed and speculated. Since 2011, the Finnish universities’ productivity appears to have increased in terms of both quantity and quality of publications.

개인제조를 위한 통합 BOM 관리 시스템 개발

This paper proposes a bill of material (BOM) model for personal manufacturing. The personal manufacturing refers a commercial production system managed by a person or a small number of people who use social technologies, new personal fabrication machines and a set of software for design and manufacturing applications. The proposed BOM model consists of functional requirement for personal manufacturing and corresponding class schema and operations. The paper implemented the proposed model as a BOM management system based on a research and educational purpose product data management system. It also applied an industrial example data to the implemented BOM management system with a personal manufacturing scenario to illustrate feasibility of the proposed BOM model. This paper also included discussion of the result of the application and further research on BOM models for personal manufacturing.

PET/fMRI for precise localization of abnormal brain activity: a mini review

Many brain disorders do not show visible lesions and most likely are resulted from abnormalities in regional brain activity or connectivity. Conventional diagnostic neuroimaging techniques are not capable of precisely localizing the abnormal brain activity, but the recently developed integrated PET/MR technology may have the potential to bridge this gap. Integrated PET/MR has been used in clinical practice. However, its primary application is still a combination of PET imaging and structural MRI. Simultaneous PET/fMRI, a functional+ functional imaging technique, holds the advantages of high spatial and temporal resolution, high sensitivity and specificity, and non-invasiveness. Globally, simultaneous PET/fMRI research is still in its beginning stage, and a few initial PET/fMRI studies have shown that voxel-wise correlation between PET and fMRI metrics was not very high, indicating that they may reflect very different aspects of brain activity. To date more than 5 integrated PET/MR scanners have been set up in mainland China. China has the largest patient population, rapidly developing PET imaging techniques, and well-established capabilities in fMRI neuroimaging analytics. PET/fMRI studies require multi-disciplinary collaborations in nuclear medicine, radiology, chemistry, medical physics, computation science, and cognitive neuroscience. At the moment, the research management system in Chinese hospitals is not conducive to such collaborations and further improvement is needed to encourage multi-disciplinary research such as PET/fMRI. Given the known advantages in patient population and other resources, multi-center and multi-disciplinary studies hold the potential to put China at the leading edge of PET/fMRI research and produce high value results that will advance both neuroimaging sciences and future patient care in brain disorders.

BASIS FOR MONITORING THE QUALITY OF TEACHER EDUCATION MASTER'S DEGREES HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

During the study, the research problem was identified that currently the monitoring is used in the management of teacher education in two main aspects. On the one hand, monitoring is seen as a technology of organization of educational process, contributing to solving current educational problems. On the other hand, monitoring acts as a means of obtaining information in the process of research management systems or management controlling. Furthermore, the information resulting from the monitoring is seen as a condition for improvement of different kinds of educational activities.Among the main objectives of monitoring the quality of teacher education include: • strengthening the focus control system of pedagogical education on qualitative aspects; ensuring all levels of management with information about the quality of education; • development of models of quality assurance in teacher education.In accordance with the content of state educational policy goals and objectives of teacher education the overall objective of monitoring the quality of teacher education can be defined as the systematic collection and analysis of information that allows you to determine how teacher training system cope with the task of securing the country and specific region-staffed.It can be argued that one of the most important tasks of monitoring is a warning about the dangers of the effective functioning of a successful training masters. Moreover, it is not just a statement of fact and when changes occur that are dangerous, namely a warning about it before the situation could become irreversible. Also, it is possible to prevent or minimize the destructive developments.Thus, by monitoring the quality of teacher education as the system will have two main objectives. 1. How to decompose goals of the individual, society, region and state level goals of the system of pedagogical education (in other words, as goals from consumers of the results of educational activities to build the corresponding objectives for the system of quality education and educational activities). 2. How to align goals of the education system and information about it to determine compliance or noncompliance.Sources of monitoring information may make the results of observations, surveys, measurements, and statistical information. Specific methods of obtaining information and work with it determined by the nature of the object and the subject of monitoring. The subjects of monitoring the quality of teacher education are carriers of the monitoring functions in the system. Monitoring entities can be divided into two large groups: the entities providing the information; the entities collecting and processing the information.However, monitoring is primarily a system of continuous monitoring of the socio-economic process, assess its compliance with the set parameters and goals. Monitoring is carried out on the basis of a complex of means of operational monitoring and analysis of process or changes in the condition of a particular object.The objects of monitoring the quality of teacher education is a dynamic, constantly evolving. They are influenced by external and internal influences that can cause unwanted changes in the functioning of the object. Implementation monitoring the quality of teacher education involves the continuous tracking (evaluation study). The regularity of the measurements is determined by the characteristics of the object of monitoring and resource capabilities. The organization of monitoring of the quality of teacher education provides a selection of sound indicators and indicators. Monitoring is carried out by direct measurement or description of the parameters of the object. Monitoring the quality of teacher education involves the construction of the forecast of development (changes of state) of the system of pedagogical education. 5. Each monitoring system must be targeted to a particular consumer and should be considered as a means of information support of management and educational activities.

Comparative Study of Governance Information Systems for Scientific Research

The research and innovation effort is a major asset in international economic competition. Research and technological development are key areas to achieve this, contributing to economic growth and job creation. In order to achieve the objective of becoming the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world, several government have developed in recent years information systems to manage their scientific research. As part of the development of instruments to support the strategic management of research at an institution, in particular a university, the design of an information system that meets the requirements of a high level of operational, tactical and strategic institutional authorities seems paramount. International models of research governance or simply the remarks of faculty-researchers at universities help to build a performance management information system. In this article we will present a comparative study between the information systems of scientific research, in particular the Chile Research Management System (SGI) and the Argentine Science and Technology Information System (SICyTAR), Scientific Information System of Andalusia Spain (SICA), GRAAL of France (management of research data, application of laboratory activities) and others.

The twilight zone of Indian agriculture: birthing and execution of integrated agriculture

This paper chalks out the trajectory of the Public Private Partnership for Integrated Agriculture Development (PPIAD), a policy platform which was conceived by global conglomerates and specific Southern government representatives and NGOs. In our view, PPPIAD decisively paved the way for corporate-led policymaking within the farm economy. We outline certain specific budgetary processes and directional changes within the agricultural research management system which created the necessary vacuum for emergence of a new leadership from the maturing forces of corporate globalization. Vast parts of the farm economy are yet untouched by PPPIAD, but the potential of the policy platform is enormous, given the fact that the target population of participants is small and marginal farmers. With over 80% of farm holdings being small and marginal, it would be interesting to observe how this policy spreads new kinds of production models, which are led by aggregators at one end, and an army of small and marginal farmers at the other end. Within this new model, the government’s role is that of a distant bystander, as a lot of room is made available to the corporate entity to design and execute the projects, while the recruited small and marginal farmers have little room to manoeuvre. We end the paper with some optimistic speculations regarding the possibility of emergence of genuine FPO managed supply chains

Application effect of nursing scientific research training based on system cybernetics in inservice nurses

Knowledge management in organisations: mapping the research literature

Knowledge management in organisation (KMO) became an important part of our economy far before the actual term 'knowledge management' emerged. Many studies have been written about different aspects and viewpoints of knowledge management, however in this study we used a bibliometric mapping approach to determine the main research topics and the contexts in which they are employed. 10,599 information sources were retrieved from the Scopus and WoS bibliographical databases using the search string 'knowledge management' AND organisation. The most productive period was from 2007 till 2011. The USA, UK and China were the most productive countries. Four main research topics were education and healthcare, techniques and systems, knowledge management and knowledge sharing. Chronologically, five periods emerged, namely: infrastructural and organisational research, technical issues and knowledge management systems in organisations, enabling technologies, practical applications of KMOs, and evaluation and validation of knowledge management practices.

Seven cardinal sins of science

This article tackles the issues associated with feudal science, which leads to the cultivation of pseudo-science, the creation of inadequate assessment criteria and inappropriate mechanisms in assisting the development of science. Some characteristic symptoms of this pathalogical system are presented and brought together as a coherent whole. Feudal science cannot be reformed, but must be replaced by a healthy system of funding and research management. Particular defence mechanisms should above all be a concentration on quality of research and engagement in international scientific co-operation, thus counter-balancing the feudal science system
