These proposals are able to contribute to the renewal and revitalization of regional cooperation, have access to the practical side of the formation and implementation of modern maritime policy of Ukraine.

Consequences of Bullying in Schools: The Viewpoint of School Directors. Suggestions for Mitigating the Phenomenon - A Case Study of the District of Tirana

One of the most important institutions which affects the development and education of individuals in society is the school. The territory of schools needs to be safe from any form of violence, including bullying. Bullying in itself is a phenomenon that is defined as a behavior which occurs when an individual or a certain group of individuals, taking advantage of their power or authority, seek to impose, persecute, abuse, or intimidate the weaker ones repeatedly (Dema, 2007). Given that various studies consider bullying to be quite widespread (Haka & Pervizi, 2007 and Boyle, 2003), central and local institutions in Albania but also school leaders, are committed to prevent and fight this phenomenon. The main purpose of this study is to identify the most typical cases and to give suggestions on how to cope with and avoid bullying at school. The selected research method is the qualitative one, using data triangulation, such as literature review, interviews with the directors and focus groups with schools in Tirana district which has about 40 percent of the population at the national level, with a total of 997,380 inhabitants (General Directorate of Status Civil, Ministry of Interior, March 2011). In this study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 directors from 81 schools in the region of Tirana, including public and private schools, as well as a focus group with 5 directors and 5 security officers from schools with the highest number of students in the district of Tirana. The results of the study show that bullying is widespread in 80 percent of schools and the most present form of bullying is verbal and social, but the physical and cyber forms cannot be neglected. Bullying occurs in the form of student to student in 87 percent of cases, student to teacher in 47 percent of cases and teacher to student in 33 percent of cases. One of the most frequent variables of bullying is the educational level of parents with 33 percent and the family economic situation which accounts for 40 percent. The given results were generated from the analysis of data where 6 of the respondents answered that the family and its economic situation are both considered as determining factor in the emergence of bullying. How can such a phenomenon be prevented? The given study suggests: teachers training should be conducted, open hours with students, parents should be involved in these issues as part of the solution, building a close partnership with the school, meetings and awareness campaigns should be carried out between teachers, parents and students, also including other actors such as the psychologist and the security officer of the school.

Integrating research proposal writing into a postgraduate research method course: what does it tell us?

ABSTRACT Due to the challenging nature of research method learning among postgraduates, the present study reports integration of research proposal writing into a master research method course. Specifically, the study explores the practices and views of 10 postgraduates joining applied linguistics in a Malaysian university over an academic semester. Qualitative analyses of (1) instructor-learner interactions in the seminars, (2) online interactions over their drafts of proposals and (3) follow-up interviews were used. The findings revealed that the students engaged in several practices in which they worked through the challenges in research proposal writing: topic selection, searching and reading about their topics, selecting research methods, writing the first drafts, seeking support from the instructor and revising their proposals. The follow-up interviews revealed students views on research proposal writing as a good experience, a means to reflect on research method learning and a way to become familiar and raise their interests and self-confidence about research. The pedagogical implication of the findings is that assigning research proposal writing to postgraduates is useful for teaching and learning of research method courses, especially when it is augmented with instructor’s support and guidance.

Empowering the next generation of leaders

Learning outcomes The main teaching objective for the case is for students to build a better understanding of how to advance women (and other minorities) in the workplace through mentorship. This is achieved through recognizing the wide variety of issues that enable and constrains women’s advancement in the workplace; defining mentoring, sponsorship, coaching and networking; and highlighting how mentoring, sponsorship, coaching and networking can overcome the challenges of facing women’s advancement in the workplace? Case overview/synopsis The case study explores the role of senior women leaders in the career advancement of other women in the workplace. It helps us understand how mentoring can address the low prevalence of women at senior levels despite companies’ efforts to advance women. The case profiles the career and leadership journey of a senior female executive, Maserame Mouyeme. It documents her rise from the dusty streets of Soweto, South Africa to become one of the first black female executives in several corporate contexts across Africa and especially at Coca-Cola. The case illustrates her practice of mentoring and its impact on her and others’ careers. Also illustrated is Mouyeme’s leadership style, mentoring approach and workplace experiences. Students deliberate Mouyeme’s dilemma: whether to continue to advance a new generation of women leaders or whether to focus on her core role of building the business she is responsible for. The selected research method is a teaching case study, grounded in an exploratory approach. Primary data was collected via semi-structured interviews with the protagonist and four of her mentees. Secondary data was collected via studies about the protagonist and the companies she has worked for in her career. The case provides empirical insights about the role of leaders and especially women, in advancing women. The case shows the approaches in which organizations can advance women. It also shows how emerging leaders can better manage their own careers. The case deepens knowledge of women advancement and career development. Complexity academic level The case is appropriate for post-graduate level study, including MBA-level. It is also appropriate for use on executive development programs. Supplementary materials Teaching Notes are available for educators only. Subject code CSS 6: Human Resource Management.

The main purpose is to present the statistical results of the empirical data and follow the changing of archetypal images at the entering stage, the stage of “mid-training crisis” and at graduation. Methods: the study was conducted at the Kherson State University and V.O. Sukhomlinsky National University in Mykolayiv with the participation of 196 students of different academic years. The selected research methods fully correspond to the study purpose, tasks put forward by the author, and can be processed statistically. The study results are statistically significant; one-way analysis of variance, H-test Kruskal-Wallis and U-test Mann-Whitney were used. The tables of significant indicators were generated by the SPSS program, version 17.0. The obtained results are described qualitatively and analyzed, using other scientists’ results also. The general tendencies characteristic for each groups are described in the conclusions; the specific features of archetypal images of a hero and an antihero are presented for each group; the dynamics of the components of professional development is described. The self-images of the student of different academic years had specific features. The archetype of a hero`s image was the most optimal at the first-year students and included the following characteristics: critical assessment of professional work and oneself as a professional, independence and autonomy in the performance of professional duties. The archetypal image of an antihero was the best formed at graduate students, they had the adequate attitude to negative personal qualities and the ability to use them in a constructive manner. The professional components showed also some dynamics: sensitivity, external positive motivation tend to increase at the third-year students and fall at the graduates; anxiety, self-esteem decreased steadily; lability decreased from the first to the third academic year, increased from the third to the final year, and was the same at the first- and the final- year students.

Towards a maturity model for health-care cloud security (M2HCS)

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to propose a novel maturity model for health-care cloud security (M2HCS), which focuses on assessing cyber security in cloud-based health-care environments by incorporating the sub-domains of health-care cyber security practices and introducing health-care-specific cyber security metrics. This study aims to expand the domain of health-care cyber security maturity model by including cloud-specific aspects than is usually seen in the literature.Design/methodology/approachThe intended use of the proposed model was demonstrated using the evaluation method – “construct validity test” as the paper’s aim was to assess the final model and the output of the valuation. The study involved a literature-based case study of a national health-care foundation trust with an overall view because the model is assessed for the entire organisation. The data were complemented by examination of hospitals’ cyber security internal processes through web-accessible documents, and identified relevant literature.FindingsThe paper provides awareness about how organisational-related challenges have been identified as a main inhibiting factor for the adoption of cloud computing in health care. Regardless of the remunerations of cloud computing, its security maturity and levels of adoption varies, especially in health care. Maturity models provide a structure towards improving an organisation’s capabilities. It suggests that although several cyber security maturity models and standards resolving specific threats exist, there is a lack of maturity models for cloud-based health-care security.Research limitations/implicationsDue to the selected research method, the research results may lack generalizability. Therefore, future research studies can investigate the propositions further. Another is that the current thresholds were determined empirically, although it worked for the case study assessment. However, to establish more realistic threshold levels, there is a need for more validation of the model using more case studies.Practical implicationsThe paper includes maturity model for the assessment management and improvement of the security posture of a health-care organisation actively using cloud. For executives, it provides a detailed security assessment of the eHealth cloud to aid in decision making. For security experts, its quantitative metrics support proactive and reactive processes.Originality/valueThe paper fulfils a recognised requirement for security maturity model focussed on health-care cloud. It could be extended to resolve evolving cyber settings.

The purpose of this article is to identify the direction and strength of the relationship between the quality of the institutional environment and the level of economic development. The soft modelling method and analysis of the literature were applied to identify this relationship. Selected research methods allowed for the positive verification of the adopted hypothesis- institutional environment has a significant, positive impact on shaping economic development dynamics.

Verification of the need to develop a tool for selecting research methods and techniques

Purpose: The aim of this paper was to verify the necessity of devising a tool, method, procedure of selecting research methods and techniques for the research process, in order to increase the quality and reliability of the conducted research. Design/methodology/approach: Within the scope of the research process a questionnaire was used, which was distributed in two forms to management theoreticians and practitioners. 401 management science theoreticians and 118 management practice representatives were examined. Thus, the research problem was defined as follows: Is it necessary to develop (model, procedure, tool, approach) to the research process? Findings: Conclusions derived from the completed analysis of national and foreign literature on management sciences indicate the need to perform a diagnosis. The diagnosis refers to the development of a procedure for selecting methods and techniques for the sake of research processes in management sciences. The research carried out has identified the methods, procedures and approaches that are most relevant to the research process and its various components in management sciences. This makes it possible not only to determine the extent to which individual methods and techniques are used or combined, but also to identify certain regularities in the perception of the research process in this context and other variables that may influence the relevance of the appropriate choice of methods and techniques for the research process in management science in order to increase the reliability, level and quality of the research conducted. Research limitations/implications: The methodological and method-related correctness of the presented work is confirmed by the answers to the questions included in the questionnaires. They most often highlighted barriers in planning and conducting scientific research, obstacles beyond the methodological ones, mistakes most often made in scientific research in management sciences, the applicability of results to business practice. Practical implications: The conclusions of the research confirm that for the effective operation of the research process, it is necessary to develop a kind of 'behavioural algorithm' that will allow methods to be adapted to the posed research problem, once the gap has been defined, which will result in added value for practice. This is also confirmed by reactions of management practitioners to these statements. 89% of the surveyed practitioners believe that there is a need to develop a model, procedure, tool or approach to support the appropriate selection of methods for the research process.Social implications: In management sciences it is genuinely easy to create ‘new theories’ that are not finally verified. A swift introduction of new, recommended management-related concepts and methods, as well as their rapid rejection resulted in negative organisational changes. It would be difficult to determine the reasons why the applied methods lack effectiveness. Was the failure triggered by an inadequate method used for a management process or by its unskilful implementation. Originality/value: One verified the necessity of devising a tool, method, procedure of selecting research methods and techniques for the research process, in order to increase the quality and reliability of the conducted research. The elaborated methods, procedures or models were verified in practice with the aim of making the research reliable.

Analysis of discrepancies in mirror data relating to the weight of goods in intra-EU trade statistics

In the research carried out to date by the authors of the article, the assessment of the quality of mirror data in the exchange of goods between European Union (EU) countries was based on the value of goods. A similar approach is applied by many researchers. The aim of the research discussed in the article is to assess the quality of data relating to intra-EU trade based on not only the value, but also on the quantity of goods. The analysis of discrepancies in data relating to trade between EU countries, with a particular emphasis on Poland, was based on selected research methods known from literature. Both the value-based and the quantitative approach constitute the authors' contribution to the development of research methodology. Data quality indicators were proposed and data pertaining to the weight of goods were used. Information on trade in goods between EU countries in 2017 obtained from Eurostat's Comext database was analysed. The research relating to the dynamics also covered the years 2005, 2008, 2011, and 2014. The results of the analysis demonstrated that the total share of export of goods from Poland to a given country within the EU is different for data expressed in value (value of goods) and in quantity (weight of goods). Therefore, both approaches should be applied in the study of the quality of mirror data.

Does abnormal lending behavior increase bank riskiness? Evidence from Turkey

PurposeThis study empirically analyzes whether the rapid growth of loans and risk-taking behavior during the expansion of loans affected non-performing loans (NPLs) and the solvency of financial institutions in the Turkish banking system.Design/methodology/approachUsing the GMM Generalized Method of Moments, this study used data on Turkish banks from 2011 to 2017 to test two hypotheses on the effects of loan growth on NPLs and solvency.FindingsThis study finds significant results for the effect of loan growth on NPLs and solvency. NPLs rose from the previous year’s loan growth, which tended to reduce solvency.Research limitations/implicationsDue to selected research methods, the results may lack generality. Therefore, future studies should test the propositions herein further.Practical implicationsThe results indicate that careful allocation behavior is required when lending. Additionally, these findings may be helpful to financial managers and decision makers.Originality/valueThis study confirms the need to determine how to allocate loans during the loan boom periods.

MODELS FOR DETERMINING MAXIMUM DEGREE FILLING CHANNELS OF CIRCULAR SECTION SHAPE

Objectives The task was to obtain a model for determining the maximum possible degree of filling the circular section channels in the earthen channel based on the condition of ensuring the stability of slopes and the minimum volume of excavation during their construction, as well as finding the optimum degree of filling fortified channels of a closed profile corresponding to maximum throughput.Method In work analytical methods of differential calculus and the solution of implicit equations are used.Result The experience of domestic and foreign researchers was taken into account to solve the set tasks, select research methods and criteria for optimizing channel parameters. Two cases of circular-shaped channels are considered: 1) in the earth channel, 2) reinforced with a closed transverse profile. For the case of a hydraulically most advantageous circular channel in the earthchannel channel, equating the first derivative of the equation of a circle with the reciprocal of the allowable embedding coefficient of the slopes obtained an analytical solution for determining the maximum degree of filling from the slope stability condition, which was not dependent on hydraulic flow elements. In the case of non-cohesive soils that form the channel, the circular channel can be filled to a depth not exceeding 20 percent of the channel radius. At the same time, the average flow rate should remain in the range from non-venting to non-blurring. In order to be able to determine the flow rate, analytical expressions are given for finding hydraulic flow elements in a circular channel. When determining the volume of excavation for the construction of the channel, the excess of the channel edge above the maximum water level in the channel was taken into account. For the case of a fortified channel of a closed transverse profile, by taking the derivatives from the Chezy formula, we obtained the optimal values of flow rate and average velocity.Conclusion A fortified closed circular profile channel has a maximum capacity with a relative degree of filling of 0.938, and the maximum average velocity of a fluid in a pressureless channel is achieved with a degree of filling of 0.815. To determine the maximum permissible relative degree of filling in the case of a circular section channel in the earthen channel, analytical dependences were obtained, before using which, according to the reference literature, it is necessary to take the value of the slope coefficient for this type of channel bed soil.

FUZZY-SETS MODELING OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE ENTERPRISE

The existing models of the financial condition of the enterprise estimation is analyzed in the article, the disadvantages of these models in solving the set tasks isgived. A qualitatively new approach to modeling the financial condition of theenterprise based on fuzzy logic is proposed. It is established that in order to modelthe financial condition of an enterprise it is necessary to use not only quantitative (financial), but also qualitative (indicator) indicators of its activity. The method ofmodeling the financial condition of an enterprise by improving the efficiency of its management is improved. It is proved that unlike existing approaches, the proposed modeling technique allows to analyze the financial state of the enterprise, based not only on financial indicators of activity and specifics of enterprise management, but also allows to take into account the specifics of the country, the time period and the industry in which it operates. An analytical review of literary sources concerning the existing methods of modeling the financial state of the enterprises is in the article and the conclusion is made about the relevance of the development of a new model basedon the modern mathematical apparatus, namely, fuzzy sets. On the basis of the analysis of the object of research and the state of the problem of mathematical modeling of economic processes, the main drawbacks of existing methods and models are identified and the main direction of research is chosen. The basic research tasks are solved and formalized. The qualitative analysis of possible methods of solving the problem is carried out. The method of complex modeling of the financial state of the enterprise with the use of the apparatus of fuzzy logic is chosen and justified, which allows to form a model not only taking into account quantitative and qualitative factors of a particular enterprise, but also with the possibility of adjusting it in accordance with the specifics of the country, industry, period of time. Such models have the properties of flexibility and adaptability to the changing conditions of a market economy. Such models have the properties of flexibility and adaptability to the changing conditions of a market economy. And although the calculation of the indicators of financial levels of the enterprise is based on selected indicators and the existing set of sets of different levels, the proposed method provides an opportunity to flexibly adjust the model to the specific conditions and specifics of the company, which distinguishes our approach from previously developed similar approaches. The reliability of the calculations is due to the correct use of the selected research methods and is confirmed by the results of the analysis of the experiments conducted. The appropriateness of using the apparatus of fuzzy logic in conducting a comprehensive analysis of the enterprise. The studies conducted in this paper may be continued in order to develop the apparatus for the analysis of some other parties in the operation of economic systems, which would allow simultaneous analysis of many indicators of different levels. This would allow for a more flexible policy for the management of economic systems and, accordingly, would ensure their profitability and functioning at a higher level. The developed models are capable of conducting analysis on the basis of user-specified parameters. They can be used for analysis in other systems. Using such expert systems on the basis of effective mathematical models will help to obtain relevant recommendations for the formation of an optimal strategy for managing economic systems, which allows relying on the activation and increase of the efficiency of investment activity and the achievement of the most important goals of social policy. In order to increase the efficiency of the decision-making on the evaluation of the financial condition of the enterprise, it is proposed to form an appropriate multi-layered DSS. This will solve numerous problems of an economic and technical nature, among which the main is the need for a complete and accurate description in the model of the entity, identifying a large number of potential solutions, making an accurate decision on the evaluation of the financial condition of the enterprise in real time, the need for handling large arrays of input information, the need to take into account quantitative and qualitative evaluationparameters of the entity at the same time.
