Towards a Successful Implementation of Online Learning in Algerian Higher Education: Readiness and Satisfaction as Key Tenets

The widespread pandemic (the Coronavirus) forced educators worldwide to change their instructional methods away from the conventional modalities, which requires a switch from the well-established face-to-face modality to an online one. To this end, the purpose of this study is twofold: to discover what attitudes actors in the pedagogical sector hold towards the underlying dimensions of readiness and satisfaction, and to pinpoint the fruitful roadmap implementation of the new online learning protocols. By exploring the readiness of students and the satisfaction of teachers, a holistic understanding of the factors that contribute to successful online education emerges. The findings of this research will offer valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and stakeholders, helping to shape a more effective and equitable educational system for the future. To undertake this study, the researcher has opted for mixed-method research that manifests in interviews with teachers and academics and a questionnaire with students at Saida University (in Algeria). The obtained results showed that the study participants demonstrated positive attitudes and significant levels of readiness, willingness, and salient satisfaction toward online learning. Furthermore, this worthy transition is a golden opportunity to ingrain in the minds of practitioners that strategic decision-making, critical thinking, adaptability, and resilience are among the fundamental tenets that determine the nature and future of a new online learning era.

Designing a Road Map for Action to Address Bias and Racism Within a Large Academic Medical Center.

The convergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Black Lives Matter Movement, and the public anguish and outrage resulting from the murder of George Floyd in 2020 intensified the commitment of many health care institutions to pursue racial and social justice and achieve health equity. The authors describe the Road Map for Action to Address Racism, which was developed to unify and systematize antiracism efforts across the Mount Sinai Health System. A 51-member Task Force to Address Racism, comprising faculty, staff, students, alumni, health system leaders, and trustees, developed recommendations to achieve the goal of becoming an antiracist and equitable health care and learning institution by intentionally addressing all forms of racism and promoting greater diversity, inclusion, and equity for its workforce and community. Grounded in the principles of Collective Impact, the Task Force developed a set of 11 key strategies to effect systemwide change. The strategies affected all aspects of the organization: business systems and financial operations, delivery of care, workforce development and training, leadership development, medical education, and community engagement. The authors describe Road Map implementation, currently in process, including the appointment of strategy leaders, evolution of a governance structure integrating stakeholders from across the health system, development of an evaluation framework, communication and engagement efforts, and process measures and progress to date. Lessons learned include the importance of recognizing the work of dismantling racism as integral to, not apart from, the institution's day-to-day work, and the need for specialized expertise and a significant investment of time to coordinate Road Map implementation. Going forward, rigorous assessment of quantitative and qualitative outcomes and a commitment to sharing successes and challenges will be critical to eradicating systems that have perpetuated inequities in the biomedical sciences and medicine and in the delivery of health care.

Post-Issue of Sustainability Report: Does Market Valuation Improve?

Following the increased concern on sustainability reporting in Indonesia, this study attempts to investigate whether the issuance of sustainability report is able to provide positive impact on bank reputation and market valuation. We use a set of unbalanced panel data that consist of 43 Indonesian listed banks throughout 2010-2018 while our analysis is performed with panel data regression using STATA statistics software. Overall, the findings demonstrate that environmental disclosure provides positive impact on market valuation while economic and social disclosure do not. We also find the mediating role of bank reputation between the link of environmental disclosure and market valuation. By splitting the observation period into pre and post sustainable finance roadmap implementation, we find that economic disclosure holds significant contribution to increasing market valuation in the period before sustainable finance roadmap implementation while social and environmental disclosure demonstrate positive effect in the period when sustainable finance roadmap is implemented. This study, however, still contains limitation due to the use of content analysis in assessing sustainability report quality that may contain subjectivity issue. Further studies can obtain external assurance from independent experts in this subject. The use of quantitative-qualitative mixed method may also be a solution to solve this issue. This study provides several implications. Firstly, this study supports the regulation from the Indonesia Financial Service Authority to increase the participation of Indonesian banks in sustainability reporting in which the implementation must be followed with high regulation enforcement. We also suggest the practice of sustainability reporting for Indonesian listed banks as it gives considerable benefit in higher market valuation. This research addresses the gap in Indonesian literature that is limited on determinant study by providing more insights on how sustainability reporting provides on higher bank reputation and market valuation.

Clinical utility of a mHealth assisted intervention for activity modulation in chronic pain: The pilot implementation of pain ROADMAP.

Being able to successfully self-regulate one's activity levels is a key adaptation strategy for many people with chronic pain. This study aimed to explore the clinical utility of a mobile health platform (Pain ROADMAP) for assisting with the delivery of a tailored activity modulation intervention for people with persistent pain. Twenty adults with chronic pain undertook 1-week monitoring intervals which involved wearing an Actigraph activity monitor and entering pain, opioid use, and activity participation data into a custom-made phone app. The Pain ROADMAP online portal integrated and analysed the data to detect activities that caused a severe pain exacerbation and provided summary statistics pertaining the data collected. As part of a 15-week treatment protocol, participants received feedback from three dispersed Pain ROADMAP monitoring periods. Treatment focused on adapting pain-provoking activities, gradually increase goal-related activity and optimizing routine. Results revealed good participant acceptability of monitoring procedures and reasonable adherence to both monitoring procedures and clinical follow-up appointments. Preliminary efficacy was established through clinically meaningful decreases in overactivity behaviour, pain variation, opioid use, depression, activity avoidance, and increases in productivity. No adverse outcomes were observed. The results of this study provide initial support for the clinical utility of mHealth assisted activity modulation interventions that involve remote monitoring. This is the first study to demonstrate how mHealth innovations that utilise ecological momentary assessment can be successfully integrated with wearable technologies to provide a tailored activity modulation intervention that is both highly valued by people with chronic pain and assists individuals to make constructive behavioural changes. Adaptions such as low costs sensors, increased customisability and gamification may be important for enhanced uptake, adherence and scalability.

Report card on access to rural health care in Canada.

Canadians living in rural communities continue to experience challenges in accessing rural health care. The Rural Road Map for Action (RRM) was developed in February 2017 and provides a guiding framework for a coordinated, pan-Canadian approach to physician rural work force planning and improved access to rural health care. The Rural Road Map Implementation Committee (RRMIC) was formed in February 2018 to support the implementation of the RRM. The RRMIC was co-sponsored by the College of Family Physicians of Canada and the Society of Rural Physicians of Canada and had a broad membership that deliberately crossed sectors supporting the RRM's social accountability vision. In April 2021, the \"Rural Road Map: Report Card on Access to HealthCare in Rural Canada\" was discussed at a Society of Rural Physicians of Canada national forum. Next steps included: focusing on equitable access to rural health care service delivery; enhancing rural physician resource planning including national medical licensure and the adoption of more effective strategies for rural physician recruitment and retention; improving access to rural specialty care; supporting the work of the National Consortium on Indigenous Medical Education; and developing metrics as useful tools to facilitate change in rural health care, social accountability in medical education and provisions for supporting the delivery of virtual health care. Collaborative partnerships and commitments from all key stakeholders will be critical to addressing national and regional health work force needs. No one sector alone can fix the inequitable health care realities of people living in rural communities in Canada.

Research and Practice on Connotation Construction and Implementation of Roadmap of “New Medicine” in Local Medical Colleges by Big Data Analysis

Taking students from a local medical college in Shandong Province as the research object, we conducted a questionnaire survey on their satisfaction with the college education, innovation needs, innovative practices, and ‘new medicine’ understanding. The results show that the majority of students are satisfied with the overall education of their colleges but the student's theoretical knowledge and experimental skills are insufficient. Most students do not fully understand what "new medicine" means. According to the big data analysis, the key issues facing the training of new medical talents are analyzed from four aspects combined with the exploration and practice of the construction of "new medicine" in local medical colleges: updating the concept of medical education, optimizing the structure of medical professions, improving the talent training system, and improving the management and guarantee mechanism, and cultivating high-quality applied medical talents for technological revolution represented by artificial intelligence.

Methods: policy analysis, foresight research, statistical and scientific-metric analysis, business and information analytics. Results of the work: The objectives of six policy missions in the STI field were determined based on the foresight study, analysis of challenges, scientific and technological potential and stakeholder consultations. For the first time, six STI for SDGs roadmaps were developed for six concrete missions according to a single structure, which includes the situation and trends analysis in the relative sectors, scientific and technological and entrepreneurial potential, the key strategic documents’ measures for the SDGs implementation. The road map content has been agreed with 17 interested authorities. A comprehensive STI for SDGs roadmap has been developed as a toolkit for coordinating regulatory, organizational and financial measures regarding SDGs in Ukrainian strategic documents with the STI policy tools. The research results are the basis for determining the priority directions for the development of science and innovative activities for 2023, approved by the resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 283 of March 30, 2023 and No. 463 of May 9, 2023. Scope of application of the results: legal regulation in the STI field, transformational innovation policy. Conclusions. Defining the tasks of six policy missions in the field of STI to respond to national challenges and SDGs allowed for a more thorough analysis of the problems and risks of not achieving the SDGs and their relations with the strategic policy planning in the relevant sectors. The mission-oriented STI for SDGs road map becomes a more effective tool for coordinating the priority directions (missions) of the STI policy with measures for their implementation in strategic development documents. Further research will be aimed at strengthening the roadmap’ coordinating role during the implementation of STI policy measures and tools in the sectors of the national economy, as well as developing the appropriate indicators for monitoring and evaluating the progress in the STI for SDGs roadmap implementation.

Roadmap development is an important strategic planning tool. The article develops and proposes a roadmap for cooperation between young scientists and business in the context of forming an ecosystem of innovative entrepreneurship. The analysis shows that innovative entrepreneurship in Ukraine is developing at a slow pace, cooperation between young scientists and business is low. In the proposed road map, the data of the conducted sociological survey on the cooperation of young scientists and business are considered, and the modified coefficient of the development of innovative entrepreneurship is given. A roadmap consists of three stages, such as research preparation, roadmap development, and roadmap implementation. Each stage has structural elements that are specific steps in solving the problem. At the first stage, an analysis of data from a sociological survey on cooperation between young scientists and business was carried out, a modified coefficient of development of innovative entrepreneurship was given, a list of interested stakeholders was formed, a unified project management was determined, the setting of the project's goals was outlined, and the time required for its implementation was estimated. Sources of funding for the project were identified. At the second stage of the development of the road map, a plan of measures aimed at the realization of the set goals in the future was proposed, the key executors of the project and the necessary resource support were determined. The conditions of the normative and legal regulation of the project, the terms of implementation for each specific measure, the mechanism of action regarding the management and prevention of project risks are given. At the third stage, proposals for examination and approval of the road map, a plan for the implementation of the road map based on the evaluation of key indicators, and control over the implementation of the road map are defined. The conclusions state that the implementation of the developed road map project will promote effective cooperation between young scientists and business, which will positively affect the development of innovative entrepreneurship and the formation of its ecosystem.

THE ROAD MAP STRATEGIST INITIATIVE: A NATIONWIDE EFFORT TO BUILD LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH CAPACITY ON DEMENTIA

Abstract The Road Map Strategist Initiative is a nationwide effort to build local health department (LHD) capacity to address cognitive health and dementia. Through a collaboration between the Alzheimer’s Association and the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), the initiative aims to make policy, systems, and environmental change, with a focus on health equity. Participating health departments receive funding, training, and technical assistance to establish a part-time Healthy Brain Initiative (HBI) Road Map Strategist, a public health professional serving as a system change agent. With support and education from the program sponsors, Road Map Strategists conduct a community health needs assessment, train LHD staff and leadership, and collaborate with community partners to implement and accelerate public health actions on dementia. Actions taken by the Road Map Strategists are informed by the Healthy Brain Initiative’s State and Local Public Health Partnerships to Address Dementia, The 2018-2023 Road Map. Presenters will share lessons learned from the first cohort of eight (8) LHDs during each stage of the initiative, with a focus on approaches used for Road Map implementation efforts in their communities. This session will share evaluation findings on successes and barriers for changing health department capacity to support local dementia efforts. Data from key indicators related to knowledge gain and capacity change will be shared, including the way LHD characteristics influenced success. The session will also cover effective approaches toward advancing health equity in dementia in local communities and plans for future iterations of the initiative.

Kick-Starting Roadmapping Implementation in Corporate Settings: Lessons Learned From IHI Corporation

Roadmapping is an established visual mapping method used widely in a variety of organizations. It navigates technology and strategic planning in a structured manner for improved strategy development and decision-making. However, roadmapping implementation can be challenging particularly when initiating in corporate organizations due to the broad range of stakeholder involvement. This paper examines the background history and lessons learned from IHI Corporation, a leading Japanese heavy industry manufacturer, to provide insights regarding how roadmapping implementation can be initiated effectively in corporate settings. Using the roadmapping maturity model for analysis and discussion, this paper contributes to both industrial practice and academic understanding of roadmapping implementation maturity.

The state of the European Union – Ukraine Association Agreement implementation on the air quality

The comparative analysis of laws and regulations on air quality, air protection, and its monitoring in the EU and Ukraine has been carried out to analyse the state of the European Union – Ukraine Association Agreement. The main features of the strategic documents “Europe 2020” and “Ukraine 2020” air pollution control are discussed. The analysis of air quality monitoring regulations, air quality control methods, and peculiarities of citizens’ alerts in the EU and Ukrainian legislation is provided. It is proven that the methods approach to limiting pollutant values differs in Ukraine and the EU. EU uses limit value’, ‘target value’, alert threshold’, ‘information threshold’ and ‘critical level’ and Ukraine uses limiting values. The limit values/permissible concentrations of carbon dioxide, sulfur (IV) oxide (average daily value), and lead are stricter in Ukraine. However, the permissible concentrations of PM10, sulfur (IV) oxide (short-term value), Arsenic, Cadmium, and Nickel are much lighter in Ukraine than in the EU. The dioxin content in ambient air is not regulated in Ukrainian legislation. Also, citizens’ monitoring systems and data provision differ and should be harmonised for the EU’s standards. The current state of roadmap implementation is firstly presented. It is demonstrated the necessity to harmonise the Ukrainian law and regulations on air quality control and air protection with the EU law.
