Creation of Remote Monitoring Centers for Patients with Spinal Cord Injury Based on the Principles of Value-Oriented Rehabilitation Model: Relevance and Organization Principles

Due to the widespread introduction into the practice of Russian healthcare of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), the development of digital medicine requires the reorganization of rehabilitation care in the Russian healthcare system. Special attention is paid to the models of 5P medicine and trinitarianism. In this regard, it seems relevant to form the basic principles of building a remote monitoring center model for patients with spinal cord injury. To this end, the authors conducted a search for publications in the PubMed databases, e-Library (the rubricator of clinical recommendations and regulatory legal acts), as well as additional sources in the reference lists. As a result, 86 publications and literature sources were identified, analyzed and systematized, 25 of which are included in this review. The following research methods were used: analytical method, data copying, SWOT analysis. As a result, from the perspective of a value-oriented model of rehabilitation, 5P medicine, and trinitarianism, the need for creating regional remote monitoring centers for patients with spinal cord injury to provide them with the necessary assistance, as well as other patients traveling in wheelchairs, was justified. The principles are substantiated, as well as the possibilities and threats of the formation of regional remote monitoring centers are shown. In conclusion, it is emphasized that the creation of such centers for remote monitoring of low-mobility patients based on ICF in Russia will contribute to optimizing resources, optimal routing and accessibility of medical rehabilitation care.

Antecedents of green purchase choices: Towards a value-oriented model

In this individual-differences study, we aimed to investigate the antecedents of green purchase choices by considering a wide array of situation-specific predictors, with a special focus on the role of values (green values and religiosity). In a sample of Italian respondents (N = 2340), we measured sociodemographic features (age, sex, income, education, family size), green values, religious beliefs and commitment, attitudes toward green products, information seeking on green issues, importance and uncertainty attached to green purchasing, skepticism toward green advertising, and various facets of external environmental locus of control. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that the main predictors of green purchase choices were green values, green information seeking, importance of green products, and attitudes towards green products, while religious commitment played only a minor role. A multi-layer path-analysis model depicted an articulated pattern of relationships between predictors and highlighted both the direct and the indirect effects of green values. Overall, predictors explained approximately half of the variance. Theoretically, these results offer a comprehensive and value-oriented view of green purchase choices, which can foster further investigations on pro-environmental behaviors. On the applied side, the findings suggest that nurturing green values and appealing to value-consistent behaviors can be helpful to stimulate pro-environmental purchase decisions.

ІНТЕГРОВАНА БІЗНЕС-СТРАТЕГІЯ ОРГАНІЗАЦІЇ З УПРАВЛІННЯ ТУРИСТИЧНИМИ ДЕСТИНАЦІЯМИ (ОМД)

Destination Management Organizations play a leading role in managing the network of destinations and establishing and maintaining cooperation between stakeholders. It has been proven that destination management organizations (DMOs) need to perform both managerial and marketing functions. The criteria of their productivity are organizational efficiency and effectiveness. The article solves the problem of measuring productivity (effective use of organizational resources by the management) of DMO and optimization of the main processes in order to ensure the creation of added value in the entire value chain in tourism. Strategic management tools were used in combination with Lean Six Sigma method tools. This made it possible to build a value-oriented model of DMO process optimization, which will provide support for decision-making regarding the structure of the tourism chain, coordinate the movement of goods and the provision of services, as well as the exchange of information between organization members and stakeholders. According to the authors, this can be achieved through the integration of activities: promotion and marketing, understanding consumer requirements, access to technology and the implementation of innovative practices, training and professional development, quality consulting for clients, and the implementation of a modern management concept – lean management in DMO will contribute to increasing the number tourists and growth of added value at all. The presented methodology for building the strategic boundaries of DMO development, using Lean Six Sigma methods, will contribute to the optimal development of tourist destinations, presenting a complete current picture of processes and interdependencies between them within the framework of one management organization. This can be the basis for the development of an interactive decision support structure that is used to optimize activities and operations in DMO.

Идеология и культура в контексте государственной культурной политики

In the context of the formation of the new value-oriented model of State Cultural policy in Russia, the need to change its real practice of cultural policy is actualized. The key to realizing the orientation potential of the state cultural policy is self-identification in ideology as a structure of the cultural sphere. The ideology of the modern cultural policy, according to the authors, should be the concept of conservative realism, based on the interpretation of the conservative approach proposed by the President of the Russian Federation V. V. Putin as a reliance on a time-tested tradition, the preservation and multiplication of the population, realism in assessing oneself and others, the exact alignment of a system of priorities, the correlation of the necessary and possible, calculating formulation of the goal, a principled rejection of extremism as a way of acting.

Value-based health-care principles in health-care organizations

Purpose This study aims to analyze the value-based health-care model in defining a strategy to guide the evolution of health-care organizations toward a value-oriented model. To improve the quality of care by ensuring economic sustainability, it is necessary to redefine the concept of competition in healthcare and align it with the concept of maximizing value for patients. Design/methodology/approach Performance measurement is a crucial aspect of the analysis of health-care organizations. Porter developed an effective analytical technique and presented the measurement of health-care outcomes based on health conditions, the efficiency of health-care organizations and the type of service provided. Findings Clinical outcomes and data on the costs of care of each patient are essential to evaluate improvement in treatment value over time. Engaging in the evaluation of what happens to patients in their course of care enables the expansion of the measurement of outcomes because it measures all the health services related to it. Originality/value Building a health-care system based on the value and continuous improvement of care and services provided is a goal shared by many countries and international organizations. Today, the analysis of outcomes is important for making informed decisions, directing and planning clinical and organizational changes by improving the quality of care and services.

Value-Oriented Model of Tuition in the Context of University 3.0 Paradigm

Introduction. This article presents the analysis of transformational changes in the Russian system of higher education. The authors aimed to develop a value-oriented model for the organization of educational activities. The concept of University 3.0 serves as a modern basis for ensuring the global competitiveness of national economies in the digital world. Materials and Methods. The methodological approaches of the study were systematic, comparative and problem-chronological methods. Results. The study expanded the understanding of the main stages of transformation in the higher education system in the Russian Federation. The results show that the destruction of the Soviet academic culture was accompanied by the destruction of the historical institutional balance. As a result, it became necessary to form new norms that define both the rules of interaction within the educational community and the place of this community in the overall social structure. The concept of Education 3.0 is designed to form these normative frameworks and ensure their interiorisation both in the pedagogical community and among students. It is revealed that in the modern Russian educational environment they are formed spontaneously, mainly due to the independent development of new technologies by students, while teachers continue to adhere to the previous educational concepts. Discussion and Conclusion. The practical significance of the study lies in the proposal of specific measures, the implementation of which will form the reputation of the University, attract additional investment, enhance its competitiveness both at the domestic and international level. The timeliness of the study lies in the fact that the analysis of the educational reform was carried out taking into account the needs of value-based management. The results of the study will be useful for the management of higher education institutions to reformulate development concepts, as well as for the executive authorities to further reform the educational system.

APPLICATION OF VALUE ORIENTED APPROACH TO STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT OF PROJECT PORTFOLIO OF UNIFIED TERRITORIAL COMMUNITIES

The unified territorial communities are new structural units in the administrative system of Ukraine. In addition to the problems of regulatory and financial nature, issues of scientific and methodological substantiation of the processes of strategic development of the unified territorial communities on the principles of applying modern methodologies and project management practices are also relevant. The article develops methodological approaches to the formation and management of project portfolios for the implementation of strategies for the sustainable development of unified territorial communities on the principles of applying a value-oriented model of project management. The organizational aspects of the introduction of project management in the united territorial communities have been developed based on the creation of a project management office (committee) for managing strategies. The proposed approaches to the formation of territorial strategies will help to ensure the community's economic development and the effectiveness of utilizing the resources available to the communities.

Value-Driven River Management: A Murray River Case Study

This paper outlines a quasi-economic hydrological model and management paradigm geared toward public and not-for-profit regulatory bodies, with particular reference to the southern Murray-Darling Basin in southeast Australia. This value-oriented model and paradigm bridges the gap between short-range hydrological forecasting and long-range economic planning. Decision-making is assisted by a scenario-based methodology with a clear distinction between baseline and marginal quantities. The paradigm has applications to seasonal planning, commercial water trading, environmental stewardship and structural adjustment. Specific applications to the Murray-Darling Basin include (i) evaluation of options for infrastructure upgrades and licence buybacks intended to address resource over-allocation, and (ii) revival and rationalisation of hydrological exchange rates for temporary and permanent water trades, with the aim of rigorously accounting for third-party effects.

An extended universal instance data model

The universal instance (UI) data model is extended to include the semantic notion of generalization as well as specialization. It is shown how this extension gives the model significantly more modelling capability and overcomes the well-known limitations of other UI models. In particular, the extended model allows both multiply defined attributes and multiple independent relationships. Consequently, the extended UI model has the modelling capability of ER-diagrams, together with the capability to handle nonnavigational (i.e. attribute-based) queries. The semantics of both the standard and extended UI models are also studied, and it is shown that UI models have an unexpectedly rich semantics. Finally, some comparisons with object-oriented models are made. The extended UI model is a purely value-oriented model, but it appears to parallel object-oriented models closely. Some consequences of this similarity are discussed.

The Israeli Environmental Education Project: A New Model of Interdisciplinary Student-Oriented Curriculum

Abstract The Ministry of Education of Israel—through its Center of Curriculum Development—commissioned the development and implementation of environmental education curriculum for grades eleven and twelve in the national educational system. The aim of the curriculum was as follows: “This curriculum will deal with the interrelationships between man and his environment and will develop within students the readiness and the capability for personal contribution and social activity towards the improvement of the environment they are living in.” This aim has been translated and crystallized into a new innovative curricular model which, in turn, determines the characteristics, the processes, and the products of the Israeli Environmental Education Project (IEEP). This interdisciplinary, science-, student-, and value-oriented model is based on our contention that environmental education (EE) is problem-oriented education about the environment, in the environment, and for the environment and the human being as part...
