Map semìotiсs formed at the junction of cartography and semiotics, linguistic science, which investigates the properties ofcharacters and iconic systems as language structures. The importance of the consideration of its provisions for the newmethods and different way of spatial analysis applications and in the used to modern techniques and methods of spatial analysisand determination of the features of the state and development of material objects, processes and phenomena and their changesin time, is conditioned by the widespread use in different areas of public activity of the object language of cartography, therequirements for which are constantly increasing. In particular, this applies to the field of science, where the concept of "field"defines the transition from "discrete to continual" in which the map semiotics provisions of cartographic modeling are essential.Examples of maps of the "fields" of density of the manifestation (spreading) of natural, social and man-made phenomenadeveloped in different directions of scientific and practical implementation, consider the essence of the application of thenormalized structure of the semiotic sides of maps content, as a reference of requirements, to justify the methodology of suchresearch, including for institutions of the Higher Education System of Ukraine (HEIs).The work explores the possibility of using the concept of "field" in atlas mapping modeling. On the basis of this concept, thedensity (thickness) of the placement (spatial organization) of the structural units Taras Shevchenko National University of Kievwithin the borders of Kiev is justified. Its mapping, in the form of developments of the interactive atlas of the university, locallevel, educational - managerial type, because of the dispersed territorial structure and thematic content of its main sections iscarried out for the first time.

Work-life conflict, gender-based discrimination, and their associations among professionals in a medical university and affiliated hospitals in Japan: A cross-sectional study.

Objectives: To clarify (1) the prevalence and associating factors of work-life conflict (WLC);(2) the details of gender-based discrimination;and (3) the association between WLC and gender-based discrimination among various professionals in a medical university organization. Methods: This cross-sectional study, conducted in 2017, included all employees working at a public medical university and two affiliated hospitals that lie in provincial cities in Japan. The outcome of interest was time-based WLC in the work-to-family or family-to-work direction, measured with a shortened version of an existing scale. Gender-based discrimination was measured according to a three-point scale. Results: Among the 3,347 employees, complete data sets were available for 2,285 (complete response rate, 68.3%). Of these, approximately 30% of respondents had perceived WLC. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that faculty members, nurses, and employees between 30 and 39 years old had a greater risk of WLC regardless of gender. Men were more likely to perceive gender-based discrimination in the contents of their work and the number of incidental tasks, while women were more likely to perceive discrimination with promotions and evaluation of academic achievements. Both men and women respondents who perceived gender-based discrimination had an increased risk of WLC. Conclusions: When promoting organizational well-being in a medical university, increased attention should be paid to faculty members, nurses and employees between 30 and 39 years old, as they have a greater risk of WLC. Our results also suggest that promoting gender equality is important to help achieve appropriate work-life balance.

Research on the Structure of College Students’ Identification Towards University Organizations

The organizational changes in modern universities have made the relationship between students and universities more and more complex and diverse. It’s of great significance to investigate and understand the ways and extent of students’ identification towards organizations in universities. It is found through a qualitative research that students’ identification towards university organizations mainly includes four aspects: interest identification, value identification, behavior identification and emotional identification, which are realized through eight paths: organizational attraction, individual subjectivity, consistency between individuals and organization, organizational participation, conformity, a harmonious interpersonal relationship, sense of belonging and identity perception.

Infantilización en estudiantes universitarios: ¿un sistema que privilegia la dependencia?

INTRODUCCIÓN. Infantilizar, tratar a personas adultas como niños puede sonar poco atinado, pero parecería que el sistema social en el Ecuador privilegia la dependencia y propicia que procesos de la educación básica se hayan trasladado al entorno educativo superior. Esto lleva a suponer una infantilización del estudiante universitario, entendida como un estado de dependencia y necesidad psíquica de apoyo adulto constante. OBJETIVO. Se busca generar una articulación teórica sobre la temática con el fin de que sirva como base que enmarque futuros trabajos que profundicen empíricamente en el tema. MÉTODO. Es una investigación teórico-reflexiva que ofrece al lector una mirada histórica y una reflexión con base psicoanalítica del fenómeno de estudio. RESULTADOS. La revisión de documentos académicos tuvo pocos resultados, lo cual era esperado, sin embargo, fueron suficientes para evidenciar la existencia de un fenómeno del que se habla poco aún. DISCUSIÓN Y CONCLUSIONES. Se realiza un recorrido sobre el desarrollo histórico del sujeto universitario y la educación superior en el Ecuador y otros contextos. Se advierte cómo la caída de la función de autoridad tiene efecto en la organización social y universitaria. Se burocratiza y cuantifica el desempeño docente, y se favorece la comodidad, limitando la responsabilidad del estudiante.

Research on the Design Innovation of Themed Party Day Activities of Grassroots Party Organizations in Colleges and Universities

<p>As is known to all, science and technology is the first productive force. As the "base camp" for cultivating talents, colleges and universities should pay more attention to innovation. Grassroots party organizations in colleges and universities invest a lot of manpower and material resources in organizing innovative thematic party day activity, the purpose of which is to guarantee the thematic party day activity can realize dual innovation on form and content, to motivate party members in colleges and universities to actively take part in. As they are talents and newly-emerging force cultivated by colleges and universities, they are capable of accomplishing works of universities. Therefore, the theme of the party day activities should be feasible, so as to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of college party members and broaden their thinking. Such innovative activities are truly valuable activities. Therefore, activity design is particularly important. This paper conducts research and analysis on the design and innovation of themed party day activity of grassroots part organizations in colleges and universities. </p>

The role of institutions in achieving radical innovation

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to analyze how institutions can facilitate or inhibit radical innovation. The authors argue that organizational radical innovation is necessary to maintain a competitive advantage and to evolve in the market place, and institutions are the basis of this innovation. From an innovation and service dominant (SD) logic perspective, network ties are proposed to be a determining factor for the achievement of innovation through institutionalization in the university knowledge management context.Design/methodology/approachA conceptual approach is applied to develop and propose a framework for deepening understanding of radical organizational innovation, institutions and network ties. Data were gathered from Link by UMA-ATech, which in the context of the University of Málaga (Spain) is with great success developing a strategy based on fostering innovation. In all, 22 in-depth interviews were conducted with actors in the Link context, together with additional important second-order data analyses (sector analyses, statistics and company websites). Because of the perceived desirability of innovation, public universities have established a model as a part of this strategy in order to foster and develop new businesses through technology transfer.FindingsChanging institutional arrangements are the basis of innovation. Opening universities to the actors around them, with an interest in exchanging resources through the evolution of network ties toward a less bureaucratic and more collaborative and open university (tertius iungens) is the basis for reaching organizational radical innovation in the university context to develop the provider-driven radical innovation network structure via the “University Living Lab” theoretical model.Research limitations/implicationsA conceptual understanding is used in combination with an empirical approach, in which one case study and 22 organizations are considered in the context of Link-by-UMA ATech, at the University of Málaga. A range of different contexts from other universities would also be useful to add new perspectives to the development of the theory.Practical implicationsAlthough radical innovation is occasionally seen in systems and arises naturally in markets, it is interesting to consider the possibility of designing strategies that facilitate the process from the beginning of the design of the business model. In this sense, the present findings could help organizations in general and universities in particular, to devise strategies resulting in positive relationships that could facilitate the design of business model structures. These could in turn foster the development of new institutions resulting in new network ties, which could give rise to radical innovation through the attraction of new actors interested in exchanging service-for-service resources.Originality/valueThe present paper develops the provider-driven radical innovation network structure of the “University Living Lab” theoretical model, which encourages the university to make decisions to devise more open models based on a change of network ties, in turn based on the design of new institutional arrangements. These concepts have not previously been put together, and build on the theories of institutions and organizational radical innovation. This theoretical contribution is framed within the SD logic perspective and specifically in the 11th fundamental premise (FP 11/5th axiom) to better understand how innovation occurs in service ecosystems, allowing the provider the possibility of developing such processes through the design of institutional arrangements.

Student leaders profile according to the United Nations model a factorial analysis

The objective of this research was to create a structural model able to explain the profile of student leaders during their youth stage, by implementing the pedagogical model form national university organization, in order to develop skills from a cognitive approach using an event-based learning trend. The research had a quantitative methodological approach, addressing differences in the students’ cognitive abilities for oral expression and textual production, along with a correlational method of factorial design analysis, as a field type. The beneficiary population was made up of students from private educational institutions with an average age of 17 years. According to the model, it was found that among the factors associated with leadership are, the ability to lobby, strategies, critical reading, intensity of the debate, discourse analysis, quality of presentation, decision making, characteristics that determine the profile of a ruler.

Developing Integrity University Governance Model in Indonesia

This paper aims to explain and design a model for university governance with integrity that is focused on the core and business processes of university organizations. NVivo applacation had been used in this research. This study revealed that universities have not shown governance with integrity. The colleges have not established the values of integrity as key content at the core of their business and the business processes of a university, namely education, research, society services, human resource management, budgeting, cooperation, infrastructure, and leadership. Furthermore, corruption practices in university governance have been widespread. Therefore, by using method of Strategic Analysis Surfacing and Testing (SAST), this paper also formulates a model of university governance with integrity that puts emphasis on strengthening the core and business processes of university organizations and strengthening the organizational values of university institutions including culture, norms, regulation, management, and organizational structure.

From organised anarchy to de‐coupled bureaucracy: The transformation of university organisation

AbstractBased on key governance and organisational characteristics from the 1970s universities have been conceptualised as organised anarchies and loosely coupled systems. More recently, a number of studies have argued that universities have been changing their internal governance and organisational structures leading to tighter vertical steering and the emergence of more integrated organisations. In this article, it is argued that while tighter vertical integration indeed might be observed, this does not necessarily imply greater horizontal integration in university organising as well. By drawing on case studies of five research‐intensive universities in five different countries, we discuss how strengthened hierarchical governance is driving increased organisational specialisation and professionalisation, but that this also may result in horizontal de‐coupling within universities. The article ends by a discussion of the positive and negative implications of coupled, de‐coupled and loosely coupled organisations.

FENOMENA MELEK POLITIK (Political Literacy) MASYARAKAT KOTA AMUNTAI KABUPATEN HULU SUNGAI UTARA

The general election is actually the entry point for the improvement of public welfare in various aspects, whether political, economic, social, cultural and so on. In order to make an impact elections positively correlated with the welfare of the public, in addition to the background of the prospective participants/contestants election also required the political understanding of the citizens as voters because of political literacy is one factor that plays a major role in the quality of elections in a country.In Amuntai City, Hulu Sungai Utara district, political knowledge citizens are generally relatively low where political terms not understood as it should be in addition to confusion relevance between elections and regional development. Political participation of citizens in general is still low, especially those who work in the informal sector and tend to avoid involvement in practical political activity. Although they participated in the elections, but they just do not care about the output of the election itself. Furthermore, the political interest of citizens were generally quite low because most of them assess prejudice against political activity although no doubt some of those who assess positively to the political world.To increase the political understanding of citizens in Amuntai City, suggested to the election organizers in Hulu Sungai Utara district, especially the Election Commission and the Election Supervisory Committee to conduct an intense political socialization to the community, especially in rural areas. Political socialization should be cooperating with the participation of local governments, organizations of society and universities in the area. Political parties in the region should also undertake political socialization as the embodiment of one of the functions of political parties, especially in the areas that became the basis of a mass political party concerned with promoting political ethics that typically become one of the political ideology of political parties.

Feasibility of a Brief Problem-Solving Training for 4-H Center Summer Staff: Linking Needs to Implementation

This multi-phased study assessed stakeholder needs and provided training for summer camp staff, a collaboration between a university and community organization. Phases I through III established the collaboration through trainings for 4-H extension agents and teen counselors. Phase IVa assessed the perceived training needs of 41 adult summer camp staff as they relate to interpersonal difficulties experienced in the camp setting. Phase IVb included adaptation of evidence-based practices to target the needs indicated by staff as well as training competencies required by 4-H policy. 4-H Center Staff completed pre-training, post-training, and follow-up questionnaires. Measurement of training efficacy was assessed using mixed-methods analyses to determine feasibility by measuring overall training satisfaction, changes in confidence, and knowledge of problem solving techniques. Results of Phase IVa informed the creation of a novel training paradigm (Phase IVb). Participants indicated high satisfaction in the training program and significantly improved on knowledge of problem solving techniques, willingness to approach difficult problems, and self-efficacy to implement problem solving techniques. Preliminary results from follow-up questionnaires revealed some continued use of training materials throughout camp experience. Implications for future trainings and continued collaborations are suggested.
