Peculiarities of the Formation of Basic Knowledge on the Emergency Pre-medical Assistance Providing by Persons without Special Medical Education

Starting from February 2022, with the beginning of the russian federation’s unprovoked aggression against Ukraine, the time requirements for the direction of the trainings and the contingent for which they are intended have changed significantly. In addition, the issue of rapid spread of knowledge and skills in providing first aid to the injured persons has become very acute. The active help of the international community of higher medical education institutions contributed to the quick and effective training of our teachers as trainers for Basic Life Support (BLS), Stop Bleeding and PHTF courses. The use of innovative digital technologies, modeling of clinical situations, in particular, with the help of distance learning tools, the possibilities of modern simulation technologies and simulators allowed applicants to acquire the necessary theoretical knowledge and master practical skills quickly and at the best level. The objective: to perform a comparative assessment of the quality of conducting simulation trainings on providing pre-medical care to persons without basic medical education using various teaching techniques. Materials and methods. The trainings were conducted in two formats - traditional offline study with the participation of an instructor and using the HybridLab method (introduced by the Lithuanian University of Medical Sciences, Kaunas, Republic of Lithuania) for 112 schoolchildren and 27 teachers. 58 students and 14 teachers were trained according to the usual method in groups of 5-6 persons, according to the HybridLab method – 54 schoolchildren and 13 teachers in groups of 3-4 individuals. The duration of the trainings was 42 hours. Efficiency was evaluated according to two criteria: the average score of the final test and the indicator of acquiring new knowledge. Results. A unique combination of methods of organizing the educational process, such as HybridLab, trainings on pre-medical care, which were developed on the basis of the trainings “First on the scene”, “Stop the bleeding” and BLS, and modern tools that allow to evaluate the effectiveness of training, contributed to the achievement a high level of mastery of all the necessary skills by as many people as possible in the shortest time, which is the leading goal of today. Conclusions. We consider the experience of implementing these knowledge/skills and training methods, as well as the further evaluation of their effectiveness, to be the second task of all medical education institutions and training centers operating in Ukraine, after teaching training on tactical medical training of combatants and emergency tactical medical assistance for medical specialists.

When the Past Teaches the Future: Earthquake and Tsunami Risk Reduction through Episodes of Situated Learning (ESL)

The past offers important lessons with regard to facing the future with greater awareness. In this context, school plays a key role in spreading knowledge of natural phenomena and in promoting behavior change. Together with researchers, teachers can be strong allies to build more resilient future citizens. The Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) school training activities provide tools to prepare for the next earthquake and/or tsunami. Approximately 5000 students, from both middle schools (ISCED 2) and high schools (ISCED 3), were involved in active learning activities based on a flipped-up approach during specific online scientific events during the pandemic. Online lab activities were conducted during European Researchers’ Night (“Earthquakes: history teaches us the future: researchers for a day with experimentation in didactics for ESL”) and during both World Water Day 2021 and World Earth Day 2021 (“Tsunamis: history teaches us the future researchers for a day with experimentation in didactics for ESL”). These two Episodes of Situated Learning (ESL) experiences triggered students’ interest, favoring remote learning, developing life skills, and focusing on historical seismic studies of both past earthquakes and tsunamis.

Does the decoupling of industry associations from administrative authorities promote enterprise innovation? Evidence from China

ABSTRACT This paper examines the potential impact of the Industry Association Reform, aiming to decouple industry associations from administrative authorities, on enterprise innovation in China. To achieve this, we employ the difference-in-differences methodology, drawing on data sourced from the pharmaceutical industry. Our findings suggest that the reform has effectively enhanced enterprise innovation. Three critical mechanisms that underpin this positive effect are information sharing, knowledge spreading, and rent-seeking reduction. Furthermore, this enhancement in innovation is particularly conspicuous in enterprises with better R&D investment, executive incentives or decision-making system, and in more developed cities and among council members of industry associations.

Discoid loom weights on Cyprus: new insights into textile tools and practical knowledge from the Aegean

Discoid loom weights are a distinctive type of weaving tool widely found at Bronze Age sites across the Aegean region. The identification of these artefacts in the Cypriot record sheds new light on the contacts between the island and the Aegean at the dawn of the Late Bronze Age. This paper aims to analyse the earliest examples of Cypriot discoid loom weights, retrieved from early Late Bronze Age contexts at Kalopsidha and Enkomi. The study focuses on their function and implications concerning the adoption of new weaving tools and likely practices within a period of profound social and economic transformations on the island. While transfers of technologies and practices to Cyprus are largely hypothesized for the various changes reflected in the material culture of this period, the transmission dynamics remain largely unknown. Therefore, discoid loom weights provide us with a new perspective from which to examine the mechanisms of the spread of tools and practical knowledge to the island during this crucial period.

Knowledge System Synergy Mechanism of Innovative Entrepreneurial Teams in Universities

Abstract The study divides the knowledge system of university students’ innovation and entrepreneurship teams into the main system, resource system, operation system, environment system, and exchange system, constructs the synergistic mechanism model of each subsystem, and accelerates the generation of innovation results. Then, from the perspective of the knowledge ecosystem and social network, an innovation team of University M is selected as the research object to analyze the characteristics of the synergistic network of the knowledge system of the team, to find out the cohesive subgroups, structural holes, edge points, and isolation points in the network, and to validate them by using the social network analysis method. The overall network analysis yielded that the overall network centrality potential of this innovation and entrepreneurship team was 25.52%, the connection between members was not strong, the team was loose, and the knowledge-sharing activities were not active. Individual net analysis reveals that active participants in knowledge synergy activities, whether spreading knowledge or learning knowledge, play an important role in sharing knowledge within the team but can be overly dependent. The analysis of this study will help to discover the characteristics of knowledge synergy behavior of innovation and entrepreneurship teams and the factors affecting the synergy behavior, which can be used as an objective basis for improving the synergy behavior of team knowledge systems.

Immigrant Communities and Knowledge Spillovers: Danish Americans and the Development of the Dairy Industry in the United States

Despite the growing literature on the impact of immigration, little is known about the role existing migrant settlements can play for knowledge transmission and the location of industry. We present a case that can illustrate this important mechanism and hypothesize that nineteenth-century Danish American communities helped spread knowledge on modern dairying to rural America. From around 1880 Denmark developed rapidly, and by 1890 it was a world-leading dairy producer. Using a difference-in-differences strategy and data taken from the US census and Danish emigration archives, we find that counties with more Danes in 1880 subsequently both specialized in dairying and used more modern practices.

Peculiarities of educational work in the territorial community regarding the provision of speech therapy services

The proposed article highlights the peculiarities of educational work in the territorial community regarding the provision of speech therapy services. Based on the theoretical analysis of scientific and methodical literature, the historical development, peculiarities and formation of the provision of speech therapy services and speech therapy as a science as a whole are studied. It was determined that the speech therapist can carry out corrective, diagnostic, preventive and educational work, but a special emphasis in this process is determined on the importance of the speech therapist's work in the territorial community regarding educational activities, cooperation with parents and raising the level of their pedagogical culture. In order to study the awareness of residents of territorial communities (adults who have children), a survey was conducted regarding the provision of speech therapy services. The obtained results of the study proved that many parents have a certain understanding of the peculiarities of the child's speech development. Most of the answers indicate that parents understand when the child should begin to express the first phrases and communicate. A general trend is the desire of parents to be educated and informed about the speech development of their children. It is important to support this motivation of parents and ensure their access to reliable and trustworthy information resources. Informed parents can be more successful in addressing the issues of their children's speech development and contribute to their success in this area. Prevention of speech disorders in children is important to ensure their successful development, so parents should have such information. Improving a child's speech is an extremely important process and plays a key role in communication, expression of thoughts, development of thinking and social skills. The study emphasized the importance of informational work with parents aimed at spreading knowledge about the role of a speech therapist and the availability of speech therapy services for children in the community.

Kartiranje na osnovu otvorenih izvora podataka u digitalnom obliku

Mapping based on open data sources in digital form represents a revolution in geoinformatics science and practice. Traditionally, the mapping approach required significant material resources and expertise to create accurate and up-to-date maps. With the development of geographic information systems (GIS) and an increasing number of websites that provide free access to a huge volume of geospatial information, this way of mapping is becoming more and more present. Open data sources, often free or at low cost, support the download or use of global geospatial data. This enabled the spread of geographical knowledge and skills at a much higher level, including individuals, organizations and social communities. Open data sources provide new mapping opportunities, enabling better understanding and solving complex problems in different fields. The paper systematizes knowledge and techniques from this area and, on the example of the Military Geographical Institute, shows the need for both the use and sharing of such data.

The impact of globalized knowledge dissemination and U.S. intellectual hegemony on Taiwan

The phenomenon of globalization has contributed to the spread of knowledge. The earliest economic globalization was related to international trade, and the industrial revolution at the beginning of the twentieth century contributed to the later development of international trade. Post-war globalization became dominated by the United States, whose strong political, economic, and military power sustained the hegemonic realist demand for globalization hegemony to prevail in the world. The Hegemonic Stability Theory (HST), the world system, the Bretton Woods system, neoliberalism, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the WTO, and multinational corporations, all of these concepts play an important role in the dissemination of knowledge in the context of globalization, and they also provide room for theoretical explanations and legitimate ways for the US to promote hegemony later on. Hegemony has a profound impact on the development of developing countries. In Taiwan in East Asia, the U.S. has had a long and profound impact on it, from economic and military assistance, to economic and industrial cooperation, to knowledge and cultural exchanges, the U.S. has successfully accomplished the social transformation of Taiwan, and has successfully used knowledge hegemony to control Taiwan’s way of knowledge production and dissemination.

Policy Recommendation for Strengthening Capacity for Urban Disaster Management through Open and Distance Learning in Bangladesh

The adverse effects of climate change-induced geo-environmental changes have turned Bangladesh prone to intensifying recurring hazards like- floods, erratic rainfall, landslides, cyclones, storm surges, riverbank erosion, deforestation, droughts, and many more. Earthquake has also been identified as a hazard in Bangladesh. In addition, congested and unhealthy residential areas with high population density, inadequate infrastructural transport and communication facilities, and limited urban disaster management capabilities have been worsening the situation. The main theme of the study was to explore the ways of capacity building of disaster management in Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) through the Open and Distance Learning (ODL) approach offered by the School of Social Sciences, Humanities, and Languages (SSHL), Bangladesh Open University (BOU). The BOU has extensive access to communicate and spread knowledge to its large number of learners within the shortest possible time. Hence, the present research attempted to explore the prospects of the Open and Distance Learning (ODL) approach for strengthening the capacity of urban disaster management through BOU by forming skilled Urban Disaster Volunteer (UDV) teams in different parts of the DCC. Creating and incorporating an Urban Disaster Management (UDM) knowledge pool regarding the hazard and disaster modes, types, seasons, and patterns should be developed to strengthen the Urban Disaster Management Capacity (UDMC). A dynamic cooperation between the national policymakers and local stakeholders has to be accomplished to establish improved awareness through acquiring hazard and disaster-relevant knowledge, and the ability to cope with inevitable disasters.

Assessment of Awareness and Knowledge of Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders and Oral Cancer among Accredited Social Health Activist Workers from Randomly Selected Blocks of Thrissur District, Kerala, India: A Cross Sectional Study

Introduction: Oral and oropharyngeal cancers are prevalent in the head-and-neck region, with global rates decreasing. However, in India, they are rising due to a lack of knowledge about risk factors and symptoms. The Indian government launched the National Health Mission to provide accessible, affordable, and reliable primary health care. Accredited social health activist (ASHA) workers can link health services to rural people. This study aimed to evaluate the awareness level among these workers about potentially malignant oral disorders and oral cancer (OC). Materials and Methods: A predesigned semi-structured questionnaire-based descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 150 voluntary ASHA workers from randomly selected blocks of Thrissur district, Kerala, to collect the data. Results: Our study showed that the majority of ASHA workers (82.3%) were aware of the role of tobacco in OC. A substantial portion of workers (88.4%) expressed that early detection of OC is possible at its initial stage. Less than 10% (7.5%) of all the ASHA workers were educated by dentists, whereas almost three-quarters (75.5%) of ASHAs preferred primary health center health practitioners as primary representatives for early OC detection, despite their being poorly trained in the early diagnosis and detection of OC. Conclusion: India has made progress in controlling malignancies but still lags in reducing OC mortality rates. Spreading knowledge of contributory agents and early detection methods through ASHA workers could reduce the incidence and mortality of OC. Including more dentists in the public health system and training ASHA workers on early OC detection can play a major role in reducing its incidence.

Temporal clustering of social interactions trades-off disease spreading and knowledge diffusion.

Non-pharmaceutical measures such as preventive quarantines, remote working, school and workplace closures, lockdowns, etc. have shown effectiveness from an epidemic control perspective; however, they have also significant negative consequences on social life and relationships, work routines and community engagement. In particular, complex ideas, work and school collaborations, innovative discoveries and resilient norms formation and maintenance, which often require face-to-face interactions of two or more parties to be developed and synergically coordinated, are particularly affected. In this study, we propose an alternative hybrid solution that balances the slowdown of epidemic diffusion with the preservation of face-to-face interactions, that we test simulating a disease and a knowledge spreading simultaneously on a network of contacts. Our approach involves a two-step partitioning of the population. First, we tune the level of node clustering, creating 'social bubbles' with increased contacts within each bubble and fewer outside, while maintaining the average number of contacts in each network. Second, we tune the level of temporal clustering by pairing, for a certain time interval, nodes from specific social bubbles. Our results demonstrate that a hybrid approach can achieve better trade-offs between epidemic control and complex knowledge diffusion. The versatility of our model enables tuning and refining clustering levels to optimally achieve the desired trade-off, based on the potentially changing characteristics of a disease or knowledge diffusion process.

19. Yüzyılda Azerbaycan ve Osmanlı Türk Aydınları Arasındaki Etkileşim

The 19th century in the history of the Ottoman Empire and Azerbaijan was marked by a number of political events that led to a change in the direction of the socio-cultural development of the Turkic societies in both countries. The reforms of the first half of the 19th century in the field of education and culture with their development of new socio-political programs, the emergence of new socio-cultural phenomena, new genres of literature, ideological and political trends gave rise to a new social stratum - the intelligentsia. This stratum, as the main bearer of the advanced ideas of the time, will play a significant role in the enlightenment of their own peoples. And the interaction between representatives of both intellectual circles will contribute to the spread of new knowledge and ideas throughout the region. The present article deals with the interrelations between the Azerbaijani and Ottoman intelligentsia in the 19th century. The interpretation and analysis of historical context via structural-diachronic methods help us better understand the nature of these relations and the effect they had on the events of the early 20th century.

The culture of Kazakhstan of the Soviet period in the English historiography of the second half of the XX -early XXI centuries

The article provides an analysis of the work of English scientists who tell about the history of Kazakhstan in the Soviet period of the second half of the XX-early XXI centuries, the history of the local population, econ-omy, culture, traditions, religious beliefs. We consider historiography as a special historical discipline that studies the history of the accumulation of historical knowledge, the development of historical thought and re-search methodology, the history of the creation of historical works and biographies of scientists, the history of scientific institutions, the organization of historical education and the spread of historical knowledge. The main purpose of writing the article was to introduce researchers to the scientific environment, the modern community of readers. The article conducted a scientific analysis of the works of European and English re-searchers who wrote about the culture, traditions, and religious beliefs of Kazakhs in the period from the XXcentury to the beginning of the XXI century. According to the theory and methodology of scientific research, the methods of historicism, objectivity, historical comparative analysis and historical regularity were mainly used. In the post-war years, Anglo-American Sovietology proved its right to take a worthy place in World historiography, and was in demand not only in Western countries, but also in the countries of the for-mer Soviet Union. The most accurate and deep analysis was distinguished by the works of Jeffrey Wheeler, Walter Kolartz, Shirin Akiner, Sevket Akıldız, Richard Carlson, Violet Connolli, Sarah Cameron, Harun Yilmaz, Rico Isaacs. At the beginning of writing the article, the books and articles of these researchers of the Soviet history, including Kazakhstan, were taken as a basis

Frugal Innovations: Implementation in Regions of Poland

Purpose: The objective of the study is to assess the complexity of applying the attributes of frugal innovations in innovative enterprises located in three regions of Poland (i.e. A, B and C), as well as to compare the three regions. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study included 200 large innovative enterprises. The study listed the following number of enterprises belonging to individual regions: A – 154 entities, B – 39 entities, as well as C – 7 entities. Six hypotheses have been stated in the study. The empirical study considered quantitative methods and research techniques, i.e. the Computer Assisted Web Interview (CAWI) survey technique, and statistical analysis of quantitative data. The basic research tools were: the CAWI survey questionnaire, PS IMAGO PRO 7.0 software and Microsoft Excel. Findings: The study indicated that: (1) in the A and B regions – both in the area of shaping relationships with customers and shaping innovative processes –moderately high values of Indicator of the Complexity of Shaping Relationships with Customers (ICSRC) and Indicator of the Complexity of Shaping Innovative Processes (ICSIP) indicators were recorded, as well as in the C region, the values are moderately low for both indicators, (2) in the A region, there is a higher level of the complexity of applying the attributes of the concept of frugal innovations with respect to shaping relationships with customers and shaping innovative processes than in the B and C regions. Implications/limitations: In Poland, there are rather favorable conditions for the implementation of the attributes of the concept of frugal innovations – this is indicated by relatively small differences between the A and B regions. Therefore, in theoretically less developed voivodeships from the so-called Polish B region, frugal innovations are implemented. The research conducted indicates that greater emphasis should be placed on spreading knowledge about frugal innovations in the C Region, which can draw on the experience and support of the A region. Originality/value: The study raises a new issue in domestic science, concerning the implementation of the attributes of the concept of frugal innovations in various regions of Poland, i.e. the A, B and C regions.

The Effect of Showing COVID-19 Vaccination Educational Videos on the Knowledge Level of 10th Grade Darul Ulum 1 Jombang High School Students

Introduction: Hoaxes and respondents' ignorance of the significance of COVID-19 vaccination can both have an impact on respondents' adequate knowledge levels. Despite being one of the age groups most likely to spread the COVID-19 virus quickly, some teenagers may be reluctant to get vaccinated due to the spread of hoaxes; the reason for this is yet unknown. Teenagers are also a particularly susceptible age group, and it can be challenging to diagnose them with the virus. Young people must thus receive vaccinations. The younger generation, who may not know much about vaccinations, can benefit from education and socialization. According to Tindaon's (2017) research, video content has been shown to be more successful than pamphlets at spreading knowledge. Method: This study employs a clustered randomized controlled trial methodology in its research design. 10th grade students at SMA Darul Ulum 1 Jombang make up the research sample. Cluster random sampling is the method of sampling that is used. Univariate descriptive analysis and bivariate analysis with the Mann Whitney Test are used in statistical analysis. Result: The average knowledge score of the participants in this study rose as a result of watching instructional videos that provided health education. There were still students in the control group who did not watch any instructional videos. The study's findings indicate that after watching instructional videos, 10th-grade students at SMA Darul Ulum 1 Jombang's knowledge of the COVID-19 vaccination increased. Video educational media has been shown to be successful in raising students' understanding. Keywords: Educational videos, Increased knowledge, Covid-19 vaccination

Proposed Value Proposition and Business Model for VMCS Advisory Indonesia

The development of the business world and leadership in various industries depends on critical factors, including the role of corporate communications and public relations. Since the beginning of civilization, communication has facilitated the development of relationships between people and institutions, increasing reputation and spreading knowledge. With the advancement of the digital world, strategic communication has become increasingly important for managing reputation, both personally and institutionally. In a democratic climate and era of openness, strategic communication becomes more critical and must align with the mission, vision, and business goals. Various challenges arise, especially in formulating communication strategies, handling management issues and crises, coordinating between functions, and implementing communication campaigns; hence, external communication experts are needed to help nurture a company’s relationship with its stakeholders. This opportunity becomes the basis for establishing a communications and social impact consultant, PT Viem Advisory Indonesia (VMCS, abbreviation of Vera Makki Communications and Social Impact), in 2020. This study aims to formulate a value proposition, followed by proposing a business model that supports the value proposition and uses a qualitative descriptive analysis that takes data from interviews with representatives of communications industry experts, academicians, business leaders, and media. In addition, secondary data collection was also carried out, supported by a review of academic literature, basic theory, and conceptual frameworks, which systematically guided the start of a business in the communication and social impact consulting field. With this foundation, this study describes the business analysis, solutions, and recommendations to build VMCS with the right value proposition and business model. This study is designed so that VMCS can become a leader in the communications industry, with the uniqueness of not only focusing on profits in the business world but also prioritizing social impact and sustainability.

Understanding Radicalization: Terrorist Behavior at odds with Pancasila

The dynamics life of society is constantly changing, both positively and negatively. The loss of high moral standards and ideals in society, particularly the implementation of the Pancasila values, can result in negative changes. The growth of radicalism and the frequent occurrence of terrorist actions in Indonesia are two examples of how Pancasila values are eroding. These are some of the goals of this activity: First, spreading knowledge about terrorism, radicalism, and their relationship as they conflict with Pancasila ideals Second, raise people's knowledge and awareness of the risks posed by terrorism and radicalism. Third, promote understanding of radicalism and terrorist acts through socialization. Students in class XII IPS 3 SMA Negeri 1 Medan will be exposed to information on radicalism, terrorism, and other behaviors that are against Pancasila ideals through lectures and discussions. Results from socialization activities revealed that pupils had a positive mindset. The socialization participants thought that this exercise could raise knowledge and awareness of the risks associated with radicalization and terrorist acts that are at odds with Pancasila ideals. Evidently, socialization participants are dedicated to making an effort to incorporate Pancasila values into their daily life.
