Full textAbstract:
Many college students receiving accommodations for specific learning disability (SLD) do not meet objective criteria for the disorder. Furthermore, whether students meet criteria depends on the diagnostic decision model used by their clinician. The authors examined whether the relationship between diagnostic model and likelihood of meeting objective criteria is moderated by students’ postsecondary institution. They administered a comprehensive psychoeducational battery to 98 undergraduates receiving accommodations for SLD at 2-year public colleges, 4-year public universities, and 4-year private colleges. Most 4-year public university students failed to meet objective criteria for SLD. In contrast, most 4-year private college students met objective criteria based on significant ability–achievement discrepancies, and most 2-year public college students met objective criteria based on normative deficits in achievement and cognitive processing. Students who met objective criteria also differed significantly in degree of academic impairment. The authors’ findings indicate qualitative differences in SLD across postsecondary settings and have implications for the identification and mitigation of SLD in college students.

Abstract Background In 2006, the University of Virginia became one of the first academic medical institutions to be placed on probation, after the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Institutional Review Committee implemented a new classification system for institutional reviews. Intervention After University of Virginia reviewed its practices and implemented needed changes, the institution was able to have probation removed and full accreditation restored. Whereas graduate medical education committees and designated institutional officials are required to conduct internal reviews of each ACGME–accredited program midway through its accreditation cycle, no similar requirement exists for institutions. Learning As we designed corrective measures at the University of Virginia, we realized that regularly scheduled audits of the entire institution would have prevented the accumulation of deficiencies. We suggest that institutional internal reviews be implemented to ensure that the ACGME institutional requirements for graduate medical education are met. This process represents practice-based learning and improvement at the institutional level and may prevent other institutions from receiving unfavorable accreditation decisions.

The aim of this study was to investigate alternative access to start-up capital for Built Environment SMMEs from established support and developmental institutions in South Africa. The aim and objectives of the study have been met. The study has shown that Built Environment SMMEs accessing start-up capital from alternative funding institutions and the perceived challenges associated with accessing the finance includes the following: 1) More than half of the sample population did not apply to commercial institution for start-up capital, which may indicate that the SMMEs did not meet the financial requirements of the commercial institution; 2) More than 80% of respondents did not apply to any alternative funding institution to access start-up capital; 3) Approximately 80% of respondents made use of savings and other sources of funding for start-up capital; 4) Most SMMEs are not aware of alternative funding institutions, and that alternative funding institutions are not easily accessible.

Full textAbstract:
Given their role in the preservation and protection of an authentic and credible trace of the past (documents) and, consequently, national identity, archives are considered places of choice for interpreting and representing shared memory and the past. Emphasising authenticity and credibility frames archives as seemingly neutral institutions in terms of politics and ideology. However, the trace that provides an insight into the “truth and knowledge” of our (individual and collective) past “that makes us what we are” needs to be questioned. Since the archiving procedure is based on the processes of inclusion and exclusion in all segments of everyday interpretation of material, the archive is a political and ideological institution that takes its place in the order of political power. This paper discusses the role of the archive as a place of preservation of “shared past and history” as an important part of national identity through the prism of institutional apparatuses or forms of knowledge/power (example of architecture) and technologies or manners of articulating and practising knowledge/power (example of everyday practice). The paper points to the role of archives in the (re)interpretation and (re)vision of shared memories, collective history and national identity on the examples of the Croatian State Archives and Archives of Yugoslavia, in the context of changes in the symbolic and political order (SFRY/Croatia). By constructing national memory and narratives of nationality through narratives of history and memory, and by constructing “truth” (knowledge) through exclusion and inclusion, archives (just like museums and libraries) have a role to play in “imagining” the community–nation. Or, according to the theory of performative identity (Foritier 2000), everyday practice that takes place in archives is an institutional identity practice that contributes to the unification and homogenisation of the community through a policy of interpretation by performing and producing (performative) memory (collective identity formation).

Full textAbstract:
Abstract ASHS specifies that minimum heights for poster lettering be 25 mm for the titles, authors, and institutions and 12.5 mm for everything else (ASHS, 1988). A survey of 167 posters in Poster Session 1 at the 1988 Annual Meeting indicated that these required minimum lettering sizes are usually not met (Table 1). One reason why these minimums are rarely met is that the minimum heights are unrealistic. The minimum heights were established for 2.4 × 1.2-m posters and not reduced when poster area was halved to 1.2 by 1.2 m. The 1:1 ratio between title and author/institution letter heights is not proportional because title lettering is nearly always taller than author/institution lettering. For example, HortScience titles are 5 mm tall with author/institution lettering 2.5 mm high. Thus, the smaller lettering for authors/institutions compared to titles on ASHS posters is understandable.

Interest in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is driven in part by the need to provide systematic academic development for faculty anchored in evidence-based practice such as the introduction of quality assurance frameworks. This article reports on a mixed-method evaluation of one institution’s grassroots multidisciplinary faculty development program, called the Educational Research Series, to determine if it met the needs of its faculty, graduate student, and staff participants. Conducted at one mid-sized university in southern Ontario and framed, as was the program design and implementation, by both adult learning theory and constructivism, the evaluation collected data from session exit surveys, attendee interviews, and facilitator focus groups. The data analysis revealed that reasons for participating included increasing levels of understanding, receiving individual support, and learning about colleagues’ research interests. The major strengths of the program included individual learning, resources, facilitator expertise, interactive sessions, and the multidisciplinary focus. The main challenges centered on depth versus breadth of the sessions, time, and educational language and theory. Participants recommended additional resources, communication among facilitators, institutional recognition, and increased depth of content. As a result of this evaluation, an Advanced Educational Research Series is being offered at the institution. This article will inform other institutions wishing to build SoTL as a field within their institutions.

Full textAbstract:
In a 2-year study, problems were investigated in organizing a program for faculty development among institutions of higher education, business and industry, government, and nonprofit agencies. A sample of faculty members from 3 institutions of higher education and officers from 12 industries and agencies were queried. A model for exchange of personnel was tested in the second year. The study concluded: (a) Institutions of higher education are ill prepared to direct faculty development if they do not have strong program development; (b) exchanges of personnel among institutions of higher education and other agencies require a large number of participating institutions since one-to-one exchanges are not feasible if both institutional and faculty demands are to be met.

The article considers the theoretical and applied aspects of the development of professional higher education institutions' human resources on the basis of personnel strategy. The urgency of the study is due to the reform of the education system, competition in the market of educational services and the objective need to develop human resources, significant needs for specialists in the real sector of the economy to restore Ukraine in the postwar period. The purpose of the study is to work out recommendations for the development of the higher professional education institution' human resources on the basis of personnel strategy. The research methodology includes methods of generalization, synthesis and observation. The article summarizes the the concept of professional higher education institutions' human resources, identifies quantitative and qualitative characteristics and components of human resources. The factors of higher professional education institutions personnel potential development are given. The requirements to be met by the personnel strategy for human resources development are presented. A possible variant of the personnel strategy for the higher professional education institution personnel potential development is proposed, which contains the goal of the personnel strategy, a set of auxiliary goals, achievement indicators. This version of the personnel strategy can become a "road map" in making personnel management decisions in terms of the educational institution's long-term development, can be implemented in the process of higher professional education institution human resources managing.

Although acknowledged that academic advising helps students adjust to and deal with the challenges of college, little is known about students' frequency of interactions with advisors. Using data from 52,546 full-time, first-year students at 209 diverse institutions, we examined the frequency with which students met with academic advisors and the way these interactions vary by student and institutional characteristics. We found that the typical first-year student met with an advisor 1 to 3 times during his or her first college year; however, the number of meetings varied across student subpopulations and institutional types.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Quality Indicators for ovarian cancer (OC) have been developed by the European Society of Gynaecological Oncology (ESGO) and by the French National Cancer Institute (Institut National du Cancer, INCa). The aim of the study was to characterize OC care distribution in France by case-volume and to prospectively evaluate the adherence of high-volume institutions to INCa/ESGO quality indicators. Methods: The cost-utility of radical surgery in ovarian cancer (CURSOC) trial is a prospective, multicenter, comparative and non-randomized study that includes patients with stage IIIC-IV epithelial OC treated in nine French health care tertiary institutions. Adherence to institutional quality indicators were anonymously assessed by an independent committee. OC care distribution in France were provided by the nationwide database of hospital procedures. Results: More than half of patients are treated in low-volume institutions. Among the nine high-volume centers participating in the study, four (44.4%) met all institutional INCa/ESGO quality indicators. The other five (55.6%) did not fulfil one of the quality indicator criteria. Conclusions: Access to high-volume OC providers in France is restricted to a minority of patients, and yet half of the referral institutions included in this study failed to meet all recommended institutional quality indicators. It is mandatory that national authorities work both to improve OC centralization and to incorporate quality assurance programs into certified centers.

Pakistan needs to knit itself into global information economy in order to ensure economic development. E-commerce is the essential tool through which this objective can be met. Currently, the economy is in a transition, the span of which needs to be shortened in order to meet the global challenges in the coming years. An institutional approach is essential to develop e-commerce. An appropriate institutional framework will shorten the time span of the transition period and will ensure a smooth transition to information economy. It will provide an effective and efficient use of the existing institutional infrastructure and development of new institutions. It calls for close coordination between the government, industry, and international organisations.

In December 2003, the members of the European Union (EU) met in Brussels for a summit that had the potential to become a turning point in history. The agenda for the meeting was to adopt a constitution for Europe in the wake of the European enlargement scheduled for May 2004. However, European nations were not able to resolve their differences over undecided issues such as voting, foreign policy decision- making, budget deficit rules, and whether to mention God in the constitution. The most severe disagreements occurred over the voting system proposed by the draft constitution, which envisioned a move towards population-adjusted voting rights. In the old arrangements agreed upon in Nice in 2000, members had roughly the same amount of votes independent of population.

Full textAbstract:
This paper uses two open science data sources—ORCID and the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education (CCIHE)—to identify tenure-track and tenured professors in the United States who have changed academic affiliations. Through a series of data cleaning and processing actions, 5,938 professors met the selection criteria of professorship and mobility. Using ORCID professor profiles and the Carnegie Classification, this paper reveals patterns of academic mobility in the United States from the aspects of institution types, locations, regions, funding mechanisms of institutions, and professors’ genders. We find that professors tended to move to institutions with higher research intensity, such as those with an R1 or R2 designation in the Carnegie Classification. They also tend to move from rural institutions to urban institutions. Additionally, this paper finds that female professors are more likely to move within the same geographic region than male professors and that when they move from a less research-intensive institution to a more research-intensive one, female professors are less likely to retain their rank or attain promotion.

Objective: To study and investigate the status and demand of rehabilitation services in elderly care institutions. Methods: 15 elderly care institutions in our city were selected to investigate the status quo of rehabilitation services, including rehabilitation facilities, rehabilitation personnel, etc. Results: Only 6 rehabilitation facilities in 15 elderly care institutions met the basic rehabilitation needs, accounting for 40%; 9 rehabilitation facilities could not meet the basic rehabilitation needs, accounting for 60%; only 32 rehabilitation therapists with qualification certificates, among which 20 rehabilitation therapists had not received any training within 3 years; 10 of 15 elderly care institutions lacked rehabilitation therapists and could not meet the rehabilitation needs, and the proportion of rehabilitation nursing was not comprehensive, accounting for 66.7%; and 100% of the 15 elderly care institutions needed rehabilitation talents, requiring the diploma of rehabilitation talents to reach the standard of college diploma or above. Conclusion: The elderly care institutions need rehabilitation personnel, the existing rehabilitation personnel should also receive regular professional training, and medical institutions should also increase the training of relevant personnel.

Full textAbstract:
Recently, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, a hallowed cultural institution, was transformed into an ecclesiastical couture extravaganza through the installation of the Anna Wintour Costume Institute’s latest exhibition, Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination. This exhibition showcased papal finery as well as gorgeous couture gowns juxtapositioned with icons from the Met’s collection in various galleries, some even installed within vitrines where fashion objects nestled right in beside antiquities. This exhibition went on to become the highest attended (and therefore also highest grossing) exhibition in the museum’s history, and while undoubtedly a beautiful spectacle, it also bought up relevant issues of didactic cultural display, the incursion of commercial interests in public institutions, and which voices are included and which are excluded from this specific display. Of particular note are some of the other messages that have been inspired by a Catholic “imagination,” both implicit and explicit, especially in how they relate to LGBTQ+ people and the original intentions of some of the designers. Ultimately, the exhibition inadvertently illuminates what is truly worshiped by a contemporary, urbane, non-believer living in a secular society: fashion. This paper is an exploration of some of the larger themes that are brought up when secular and religious iconography are brought together in a large-scale public institutional display, and also includes an experiential review of the exhibition by the author at both the Met 5th Avenue as well as the Cloisters locations.

Full textAbstract:
Social dilemmas have long been studied formally as cooperation games that pit individual gains against those of the group. In the real world, individuals face an ecology of games where they play many such games simultaneously, often with overlapping co-players. Here, we study an agent-based model of an ecology of public goods games and compare the effectiveness of two institutional mechanisms for promoting cooperation: a simple institution of limited group size (capacity constraints) and a reputational institution based on observed behavior. Reputation is shown to allow much higher relative payoffs for cooperators than do capacity constraints, but only if (1) the rate of reputational information flow is fast enough relative to the rate of social mobility, and (2) cooperators are relatively common in the population. When these conditions are not met, capacity constraints are more effective at protecting the interests of cooperators. Because of the simplicity of the limited-group-size rule, capacity constraints can also generate social organization, which promotes cooperation much more quickly than can reputation. Our results are discussed in terms of both normative prescriptions and evolutionary theory regarding institutions that regulate cooperation. More broadly, the ecology-of-games approach developed here provides an adaptable modeling framework for studying a wide variety of problems in the social sciences.

This article focuses on marriage. It appears that marriage is in the first place a social cultural institution with legal implications, and not religious by nature. Concepts and practices regarding marriage change along with social and cultural movements. Regarding the twenty first century, a marked shift from patriarchy towards equality has been observed. Marriage practices have changed: the man is no longer sole breadwinner and head of the household, the woman no longer only the pleasing wife and mother to his children. Simultaneously gay relationships are becoming part of social reality. Gay couples express a wish for their relationships to be acknowledged by religious institutions. What does the Bible say? Marriage as ‘ordained’ by God has no biblical foundation, especially not according to the traditionally quoted Genesis 2:18. In the twenty first century the concepts ‘marriage, relationship, sin, sexuality and sex’ need to be revised in order to comply with the biblical demand of love.

As we all cope with an e-everything world, libraries are moving to accommodate WOW (words on the web) as well as POP (print on paper) in their collections. This has led to a realignment in organisational structures, particularly in university contexts. This paper addressed two major issues: firstly the challenges that major institutional reorganisations in Australia have placed on universities and, in particular, on art schools; secondly the way these challenges may be met, based on actions and solutions to improve access to Australian visual arts information resources which followed from an extensive survey by the National Library of Australia in co-operation with ARLIS/ANZ. These results encourage art libraries to develop partnerships and networking with their parent institution and other libraries and cultural institutions on a national level.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTThe planning of major energy facilities in Western Europe has met with increasing opposition in the last 15 years. In Scotland formal objections to such developments are considered in public inquiries; in Germany the equivalent institution is the hearing. These two institutions differ fundamentally in scope and in the means of presenting and examining evidence. The involvement of the courts has been greater in Germany, where lengthy cases examining procedural and substantive issues have developed a new field in legal administration. Developers, objectors and administrators find fault with the planning and legal systems, but outcomes invariably favour the developers. Of the two institutions examined, the British public inquiry offers objectors considerably more scope than does the German hearing.

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) Training Institutions in Region VIII covering the three provinces of Biliran, Leyte, and Eastern Samar. The findings revealed that the overall rating in all the areas of performance resulted to a Level 1 status which means that the three training institutions in Region VIII have met the threshold of APACC standards and their deficiencies could be improved within a period of two years. Based on the documentary inspection of the researcher, the performance level of the training and facilitative staff based on their Performance Evaluation System (PES) was very satisfactory. Furthermore, the results showed that the training and facilitative staff were performing their duties and functions in accordance with their job description. On the relationship between variables it was revealed that the performance of the training and facilitative staff was not significantly related to the performance of the training institutions.Anchored on the findings presented, it was concluded that the performance of the three TESDA Training Institutions have met and qualified on the Level I status which corresponds to the Asia Pacific. Moreover, the performance of the training staff is not related to that of the facilitative staff. However, the performance of the training and facilitative staff is independent on the performance of the training institution.

As an institution that manages social funds, transparency must be met for the Amil Zakat Institution. By measuring the zakat transparency index, the Amil Zakat Institution can find out the extent of the implementation of transparency in the organisation. Information disclosure to the public is believed to increase public confidence in paying zakat at the Amil Zakat Institution. This study aims to measure the zakat transparency index of the Amil Zakat Institution in Banten Province. The Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method is used to calculate the transparency index of zakat institutions. The Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method is a multiple attribute retrieval method, where the weight of each predetermined dimension is multiplied by each variable weight, then added up. The results showed that the Amil Zakat Institution in Banten Province was included in the reasonably transparent category with an index of 0.706.

Many educational institutions understand the scope of the quality of education; however, the implementation is still not optimal, even the quality of education is not considered important and useful for improving an educational institution. Therefore, the aim of this research is to provide views and concepts to managers of educational institutions so that they can think and be able to apply the quality of education properly so that the achievement of the vision and mission is effective. The method used is a literature review by examining scientific studies and research related to the quality of education. So that this research can be concluded that 1) The quality of education is a level of standardization that become a benchmark for managing educational institutions so that the goals can be achieved effectively and able to be a bridge to the success of educational institutions. 2) The educational quality instruments that must be met by educational institutions are to prioritize more transparent processes and professional both regarding students, staff, and the provision of learning infrastructure that is a necessity in improving the institution education. 3) Quality problems in educational institutions are characterized by the teaching style of teachers that are still traditional and educational facilities are still not optimal, so it needs evaluation for improvements to support quality education and there must be periodic changes both in the process, the suitability of educators and learning tools as well as more adequate facilities and infrastructure.

The 1990s witnessed revolutionary change in China's higher education system, particularly through radical mergers. The reform process and its background are detailed here, with a case study focusing on Zhejiang University. After nearly 15 years of painstaking effort, the reform goals for the higher education system have been met, and a decentralized, two-tiered administrative system has been installed. However, the most hotly debated reform has been the amalgamation of universities. The need to optimize China's system of higher education has a background dating back about 50 years, when the first reordering of higher education took place. The reordering and its results are described, and the causes and after effects of this reform are detailed.

AbstractAdverse early care is associated with attention regulatory problems, but not all so exposed develop attention problems. In a sample of 612 youth (girls = 432, M = 11.82 years, SD = 1.5) adopted from institutions (e.g., orphanages) in 25 countries, we examined whether the Val66Met polymorphism of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene moderates attention problems associated with the duration of institutional care. Parent-reported attention problem symptoms were collected using the MacArthur Health and Behavior Questionnaire. DNA was genotyped for the brain-derived neurotrophic factor Val66Met (rs6265) single nucleotide polymorphism. Among youth from Southeast (SE) Asia, the predominant genotype was valine/methionine (Val/Met), whereas among youth from Russia/Europe and Caribbean/South America, the predominant genotype was Val/Val. For analysis, youth were grouped as carrying Val/Val or Met/Met alleles. Being female, being from SE Asia, and being younger when adopted were associated with fewer attention regulatory problem symptoms. Youth carrying at least one copy of the Met allele were more sensitive to the duration of deprivation, yielding an interaction that followed a differential susceptibility pattern. Thus, youth with Val/Met or Met/Met genotypes exhibited fewer symptoms than Val/Val genotypes when adoption was very early and more symptoms when adoption occurred later in development. Similar patterns were observed when SE Asian youth and youth from other parts of the world were analyzed separately.

263 Background: Setting realistic targets for performance on quality indicators (QI) is a consistent challenge in quality improvement. The purpose of this study was to utilize administrative data to define achievable targets for QI in the early stage breast cancer (EBC) population in relation to systemic therapy (ST) delivery based on best performers. Methods: Deterministically linked administrative healthcare databases were used to identify EBC cases diagnosed 2006 – 2010 in Ontario, Canada. Panel of previously established QIs for systemic therapy was applied to patients who met eligibility criteria for the individual indicators. Institutions with less than 10 eligible patients for a specific indicator were excluded. An empiric benchmark was defined as the proportion of patients meeting the indicator from institutions accounting for the top decile of eligible patients. Results: We identified 28,303 EBC patients who received surgery of which 12,252 received adjuvant chemotherapy. Benchmark results are summarized in Table. Conclusions: Many institutions fell considerably below the benchmark. Further analysis of institution-level drivers of high quality care is required to help characterize high performing institutions.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the role of democratic institutions in an attempt to explain the relationship between fiscal decentralisation and inflation. The empirical analysis is based on time series data over 1972–2010 for Pakistan using the GMM estimation procedure. Three different measures of fiscal decentralisation are used in order to capture multidimensionality. The major findings of the study suggest that expenditure decentralisation has a negative impact on inflation if accompanied by democratic institutions. Revenue decentralisation, however, has a negative impact on inflation even in the absence of institutions, though institutions accentuate this effect. The role of institutions, therefore, is important in realising the benefits of fiscal decentralisation. Composite decentralisation has a negative and significant impact on inflation. This implies that expenditure decentralisation becomes effective when it is complemented with revenue decentralisation. Intuitively, provincial governments become more responsive when their expenditure needs are met with their own revenues.

Sustainable agriculture has remained a subject of debate in Nigeria for decades without tangible results. Between 2001 and 2007, agricultural sector accounted for 40 percent of Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Products (GDP) and 51 percent of job creation. However, in 2015 agriculture accounted for only 17.77% of Nigeria’s GDP (National Bureau of Statistics, 2015). These figures are indications that agriculture has not met the need of the country, and reveal the dwindling nature of the sector. The declining nature of agriculture calls for a new strategy that will support agricultural development in Nigeria. This paper aims to advance agripreneurship education in Nigerian Universities by attempting to develop a curriculum that will trigger agriprenuership taught classes in Universities in Nigeria in attempt to increase youth and farmers participation in agripreneurship and improve the agricultural sector in general

A Review of: Read, K. B, Koos, J., Miller, R. S., Miller, C. F., Phillips, G. A., Scheinfeld, L., & Surkis, A. (2019). A model for initiating research data management services at academic libraries. Journal of the Medical Library Association, 107(3), 432–441. https://doi.org/10.5195/jmla.2019.545 Abstract Objectives – To initiate or expand research data management (RDM) services within the participating libraries serving health sciences populations. Design – Case report. Setting – Six institutions consisting of three academic health sciences and three university libraries within the National Network of Libraries of Medicine Middle Atlantic Region in the United States of America. Subjects – Between two and eight librarians participated from each institution, for a total of twenty-six librarian participants. Methods – Pre-pilot phone interviews were conducted and included open-ended questions about RDM services, the library’s motivation for participating, and their degree of institutional commitment. To deepen their understanding of RDM, the participants were required to complete eight educational modules that included text, videos, and quizzes. The participating institutions received data interview questions to connect with their research community to be better informed about their attitudes, language, and practices. The participants also received a Teaching Toolkit, complete with slides, a script, and an attendee evaluation form. The participants were provided with a data series, consisting of branded classes for teaching over a designated period with instructors from within and outside of the library. Collaboration with library partners was encouraged as was the use of a focused marketing plan. In fact, a major component of the pilot was the expert support, provided through biweekly meetings that included marketing tips and presentations on such topics as clinical research data management and data visualization. Finally, post-pilot program interviews were conducted, and the open-ended questions covered the pilot program as a whole and its individual components. Main Results – Of the six participating institutions, five institutions rated the RDM educational modules very positively. Conducting data interviews was valuable for all six institutions because it allowed the librarians to meet with researchers, build relationships, and use what they learned to develop RDM services for the future. The Teaching Toolkit was rated positively by the six institutions, especially for its adaptability, the time saved over developing the content from scratch, and its usability. Finally, the two institutions that held the data series courses stated that the series succeeded in further marketing the RDM services developed by the library. Conclusion – The pilot project met its objectives: the librarians at the participating institutions completed the educational modules, administered the data interviews, and taught an RDM foundations class based on the Teaching Toolkit. In addition, a data series was hosted at two institutions. The components of the pilot project had the intended results at each institution, and the classes were reviewed favorably. Based on the pilot participants’ positive outcomes, the authors are certain that the freely available program materials would achieve success elsewhere.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractWhile there is much discussion of the need for democracy in transnational institutions, there is less discussion of the conditions for their democratisation. To address this deficit, a general account of democratisation is necessary. I propose that democratisation is dependent on the joint realisation of two conditions: communicative freedom and communicative power. Democratisation thus requires, first, publics and associations in which communicative freedom is realised on the one hand; and, second, institutions that link such freedom to the exercise of communicative power to decision making on the other. In order for these conditions to be met, civil society must be expanded into the public sphere. The transformation of communicative freedom into communicative power can be promoted only by institutions that recognise the decisional status of publics, which in turn depend on civil society to generate the deliberative benefits of the plurality of perspectives. Communicative power is not merely spontaneously generated through publics, but also through publics expressly formed through democratic institutional design.

Performance evaluation is a method and procedure for evaluating and monitoring the performance of a person, group, or institution in accordance with performance standards or goals that have been determined in an educational institution or organization. The fairest way to reward employees is through performance reviews. Performance evaluations are conducted to ensure that educational institutions are meeting their goals and objectives, as well as to find out where they stand and how well they are achieving their goals. It is very important to find out if there are delays or deflections so that they can be corrected immediately so that the goals or targets are met.

Full textAbstract:
Over a period of around fifteen years English higher education has become characterised by an increasingly marketise and differentiated system, most recently with the encouragement of new “challenger” providers potentially creating price competition for undergraduate degrees. This paper explores shifting patterns of enrolments between different institution types (those requiring high entry grades and those requiring lower entry grades) for evidence of how these types may be responding to the new market conditions. We introduce the concept of a “dual-pricing” mechanism to model how different institution types may be reacting. Dual pricing would be exemplified as a situation where entry requirements (a “price” based on qualification tariff points required for entry) and tuition-fee are matched in a linear hierarchy of institutions: Only the most prestigious institutions offering the courses demanding the highest entry qualifications (tariff) would command the highest fee (in this case a maxima of £9250 per annum), with fees demanded by institutions requiring lower entry requirements tapering off towards £6000 per year. This dual-pricing mechanism is discussed here as a policy aim, and the intention of this paper is to locate it in relation to market failure (defined as the failing of a market intervention to meet that policy aim). This paper’s critique of the marketised direction of travel in English higher education (HE) policymaking is that a dual-price mechanism would seriously undermine efforts to widen access for underrepresented social groups, particularly those from low income households who may be more likely to access low-cost provision rather than more transformative HE opportunities (supposedly those deriving from having a degree from a more prestigious institution), even if they met the entry requirements for higher-cost provision.

School accreditation is school assessment activities that are carried out systematically and comprehensively through self-evaluation and external evaluation (visitation) activities to determine the feasibility and performance of the school. Accreditation has a meaning as a comprehensive assessment process of the appropriateness and performance of an institution or an educational program as a form of public accountability, a self regulation tool in which schools recognize strengths and weaknesses and continuously improve strengths and improve their weaknesses. This understanding will give more meaning in the results as an acknowledgment, a school has met the specified eligibility standards. Padangsidimpuan City as one of the cities in Indonesia is not immune from the policy to carry out accreditation in each of its educational institutions or units. Some education units have carried out accreditation in the District of South Padangsidimpuan. In carrying out accreditation, the institution certainly cannot be separated from the constraints that must arise, both internal and external constraints. Government efforts to develop human resources through PAUD and PAUD education units have encouraged education units to meet eight (8) National Education Standards (SNP). In the framework of meeting these standards, the central government and regional governments prepare education units to be ready to be accredited on an ongoing and ongoing basis in the hope that the accreditation process can improve the quality of education units. Especially in the city of Padangsidimpuan, South Padangsidimpuan Subdistrict. Based on the results of the interviews. Obtained data from the Padangsidimpuan City Education Office for South Padangsidmpuan Subdistrict, with a total of 17 units, more than 50% have been accredited, 9 are accredited institutions and 8 institutions have B grades and 1 institution with a value of C. Provide an overview of the level of school performance that is used as a tool for coaching, developing and improving schools both in terms of quality, effectiveness, efficiency, productivity and innovation.

ABSTRACTThe Swedish population is one of the oldest in the world with the consequence that the country has a very high proportion of long-term institutional beds to meet the care needs of elderly people. Studies of the pathways to institutional care showed that alternative home care options had been given too little consideration and that a quarter of residents could have been satisfactorily supported in the community. The Sundsvall Intervention Programme was based upon a distribution of these research findings to institutions and practitioners, followed by a joint training programme on assessment and resource allocation. The first phase of the intervention yielded an unrealised potential for elderly people to remain at home; but it met continuing resistance from professionals and kin. The exercise indicates the need to combine service innovation with locally relevant systems which engage all of the interested parties – elderly people, their relatives, care providers, service managers and politicians.

Context: Mentorship has been identified as a key aspect to the transition into higher education for the junior faculty member, as it is an effective organizational socializing agent. The literature, however, often examines mentorship as a derivative of the socialization process, rather than as the primary focus of investigation. Objective: Explore the perceptions of mentorship for the athletic training faculty member on professional development and transition into a new faculty role, specifically looking at mentorship through a role transition and inductance lens for the junior faculty member. Design: Phenomenology. Setting: Higher education institutions. Patients or Other Participants: Twenty junior athletic training faculty members (14 women, 6 men) who met our inclusion criteria. All participants were in positions leading to promotion or tenure. Saturation was met with our 20 participants. Main Outcome Measure(s): Semistructured phone interviews were conducted and transcribed verbatim afterward. Using a phenomenological approach, we analyzed the data. Credibility of the data was confirmed with peer review and researcher triangulation. Results: Mentoring relationships were determined to be internal and external to the athletic training faculty member's institutions. Relationships were classified as informal, regardless of the location of the mentor. Internal mentoring relationships were informal and navigated by the faculty member with individuals the faculty member believed to have valued experiences and knowledge regarding the institution's culture and expectations for role performance and promotion. External mentors, mostly doctoral advisors, were individuals who could continue to support professional development and the specific tenets of higher education independently of institutional expectations. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that mentoring is done by a constellation of individuals, as each mentoring relationship fulfills a particular need of the junior faculty member and one mentor may not provide or possess all the necessary experiences to support the transition.

This research is of a comparative and exploratory nature and follows the hypothesis that closing these institutions, as a containment measure in the face of the pandemic, urged the deployment of educational solutions based on digital technologies, which surprised the teachers, who did not have the necessary preparation or financial and technological resources, and without institutional help. As part of the methodology, systematic documentation was used, which allowed to frame the topic explored, and the survey, whose data confirm the information previously found. As part of the results, it is reported that the objective was met, and the hypothesis confirmed.

Full textAbstract:
Radicalism, meaning here complete dedication to a cause, even at the risk of one’s own life, is not an epiphenomenon nor a derailment of religion. It is an ingrained tendency within religion and of a frequency, not occurred in other domains like politics, the economy or science. The root cause of this intimate link of religion with radicalism is the opening up within religion of an utopian dimension. Equipped furthermore with distinctive institutions and with claims of religious omnivalence – of being valid in all walks of life – religions thus present a potent vantage point from which life and society can be criticized and called up for conversion and reform. Religious radicalism accounts for much of the prominence and visibility of religion in society. There are many forms of religious radicalism, most of them peaceful in character. Distinction will be made between ordinary and extra-ordinary radicalism and establishment and anti-establishment radicalism. Reducing religious radicalism to violence or ill-fated extremism, is not only factually wrong. It also means underestimating the importance and role of religious radicalism for religion – and society.

Based on qualitative and quantitative analyses of Dutch newspapers, radio and television programs, this article offers a long-term genealogy of the present-day discourse on Islam and homosexuality in the Netherlands. It argues that this discourse dates from well before 2001 and even before 1989, without being a mere continuation of 19th century Orientalism. A major turning point were the 1970s, when ‘foreign workers’ and ‘homophiles’ were regarded as companions in societal misfortune. From the mid-1980s onwards, however, ‘Muslims and gays’ appeared to be odd bed-fellows. Notwithstanding the political functions and effects of the present-day discourse, ascribing its emergence solely to (nationalist, populist or neoliberal) politicians and ‘the media’ ignores the agency of others, such as Muslim institutions and organizations – including the ‘minority-within-the-minority’ self-organizations that sprung up in the 1990s.

The temporary closure of learning institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically reduced the physical activity of students across all ages. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence of physical inactivity and the patterns of physical activity among university students in confinement. This cross-sectional study involved 147 Malaysian students and 107 Indonesian students. Body weight before the pandemic and during the pandemic was self-reported by the respondents, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) was used to assess the physical activity and sedentary behavior of the respondents. The findings revealed that 79.6% of Malaysians and 77.6% of Indonesians were physically active during the confinement. There was no significant difference (p < 0.05) in the duration devoted to vigorous-intensity activity (MMalaysian = 0.00 MET minutes/week and MIndonesian = 480.00 MET minutes/week) and moderate-intensity activity (MMalaysian = 0.00 MET minutes/week and MIndonesian = 0.00 MET minutes/week) among the studied population. During the pandemic, Malaysian students (M = 1386.00 MET minutes/week) devoted a significantly higher duration to walking (M = 1386.00 MET minutes/week) and sedentary behavior (9.16 ± 4.47 h/day) than Indonesian students (M = 990.00 MET minutes/week and sedentary behavior = 7.85 ± 4.27 h/day). Overall, no significant difference was noted in the total physical activity of Malaysian and Indonesian students during the pandemic (MMalaysian = 2826.00 MET minutes/week and MIndonesian = 1782.00 MET minutes/week). Findings from Spearman’s rank correlation test suggested that there was a weak inverse correlation between the duration engaged in vigorous-intensity activity and weight change among the Malaysian students (rs = −0.199, p = 0.016), after adjusting for gender and age. Overall, the closure of learning institutions and exercise facilities has further prevented individuals from complying with the WHO recommendation of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity during the period of home confinement.

Europeans who traveled to Delhi or who were there on service at the end of the XVIII and the beginning of the XX centuries often mention this college among Delhi’s places of interest. They also describe in details the appearance of the architectural complex. The former Gazi-ud-din Madrasa was changing and adapting itself to the modern realities of Delhi, remaining one of the major attractions of the city and the most famous and desirable among the educational institutions. Delhi College continued its educational activities despite occasionally inadequate funding. Its alumni and teachers made a great contribution to the development of culture and social thought in Delhi in the XIX century.

This paper aims to analyze human trafficking victims in the zakat distribution discourse in six philanthropic institutions in East Java and to describe the supporting and inhibiting factors in determining human trafficking victims as riqab. Human trafficking victims have not been touched by the zakat system in Indonesia, while the number of victims has simultaneously increased. This paper utilizes a field study that uses primary data from in-depth interviews with top leaders of six zakat institutions under the National Amil Zakat Agency. In addition, this paper also uses secondary data sourced from documentation and annual reports released by the research object. This paper concludes that, firstly, victims of human trafficking have met the criteria to be zakat recipients on behalf of riqab. Although in practice in the field, no East Java zakat institution distributes zakat to victims of human trafficking. Second, East Java zakat institutions have the potential for proportional support to distribute zakat in the name of riqab to victims of human trafficking. Its implementation still encounters obstacles but can be overcome with the current potential.

Abstract:Institutions influence and shape behaviour. This paper suggests one way in which they do so that has been largely overlooked in institutional analysis and design. When faced with a decision or problem, people have more than one mechanism at their disposition for addressing it. The human mind offers multiple tools, ranging from conscious deliberation to spontaneous, affective reactions. Relying on technology or experts, decision-makers can also muster additional resources. Often, the meta-choice of which decision-making or problem-solving mode is used has an impact on the output. Some normative goals are more likely met if the decision-maker uses a specific problem-solving mode. We argue that the meta-choice of which problem-solving mode to use for a given decision can be influenced by institutions. In the interest of defining access points for institutions, we develop a conceptual framework for the selection and implementation of decision-making and problem-solving modes.

In order to provide detailed documentation of faculty and staff experiences of perceived mistreatment, this article reports the findings of an institutional survey of mistreatment. From a random sample of 1,585 (11%) of one university’s workforce, 810 (51%) responses were received. Of the total responses, 187 (23%) met criteria used to define cases of perceived workplace mistreatment. Equal proportions of women and men reported incidents of mistreatment. Mistreatment was perceived to come from coworkers as well as superiors. For the sample as a whole, job satisfaction was severely affected by experiences of mistreatment. The highest proportion of reported mistreatment was 38% for professional staff (at-will employees), followed in order by 25% for classified staff (covered by civil service protection), and 11% for faculty. These findings indicate that mistreatment occurs at all levels in institutions of higher education. The negative consequences of mistreatment for individuals in the workplace, as well as for the institution as a whole, are substantial.

It is noted that the development of a progressive society is dynamic, with a tendency to constantly accelerate, complicate and change, so the integration of Ukraine into the international educational space is the main task of Ukrainian education in general and preschool education in particular. Preschool education is not only a system of knowledge for its transmission to the younger generation, but also the most important means of creating a successful future for all mankind, and the key goal of education is a mature and educated person. It is noted that private preschools can become an effective alternative to public kindergartens only if the requirements set out in the State Standard for Preschool Education are met. The current state of the network of preschool educational institutions (PEI) of different types and forms of ownership (public, municipal, private, corporate, family) is analysed and regional indicators of the end of 2020 – beginning of 2021 are taken into account. It is determined that private and corporate PEI can help to solve national problems with groups overcrowding, low quality of educational and developmental environment organization (subject-spatial, psychological-didactic, social-communication and motivational-cognitive components), inclusive education organization, implementation of ideas of the best international experience, insufficient number of PEI in Ukraine.

Abstract Objective: We sought to explore the technical and legal readiness of healthcare institutions for novel data-sharing methods that allow clinical information to be extracted from electronic health records (EHRs) and submitted securely to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) blockchain through a secure data broker (SDB). Materials and Methods: This assessment was divided into four sections: an institutional EHR readiness assessment, legal consultation, institutional review board application submission, and a test of healthcare data transmission over a blockchain infrastructure. Results: All participating institutions reported the ability to electronically extract data from EHRs for research. Formal legal agreements were deemed unnecessary to the project but would be needed in future tests of real patient data exchange. Data transmission to the FDA blockchain met the success criteria of data connection from within the four institutions' firewalls, externally to the FDA blockchain via a SDB. Discussion: The readiness survey indicated advanced analytic capability in hospital institutions and highlighted inconsistency in Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources format utilitzation across institutions, despite requirements of the 21st Century Cures Act. Further testing across more institutions and annual exercises leveraging the application of data exchange over a blockchain infrastructure are recommended actions for determining the feasibility of this approach during a public health emergency and broaden the understanding of technical requirements for multisite data extraction. Conclusion: The FDA's RAPID (Real-Time Application for Portable Interactive Devices) program, in collaboration with Discovery, the Critical Care Research Network's PREP (Program for Resilience and Emergency Preparedness), identified the technical and legal challenges and requirements for rapid data exchange to a government entity using the FDA blockchain infrastructure.

Abstract Purpose The global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and the search for ways in which to provide the best available care have created unprecedented times in terms of rapidly evolving reports of available treatment options. The primary objective of our analysis was to categorize online, open-source guidance to determine how US institutions approached their recommendations for management of patients with COVID-19 in the early weeks of the pandemic. Methods A search for open-source, online institutional guidelines for the treatment of COVID-19 was conducted using predefined criteria. The search was limited to the United States and conducted from April 12 through 14, 2020, and again on April 22, 2020. Searches were conducted at 2 points in time in order to identify changes in treatment recommendations due to evolving literature or institutional experience. Treatment recommendations, including guidance on antiviral therapy, corticosteroid and interleukin-6 inhibitor use, and nutritional supplementation were compared. Results Of the 105 institutions that met initial screening criteria, 14 institutions (13.3%) had online COVID-19 guidance available. Supportive care and clinical trial enrollment were the primary recommendations in all evaluated guidance. Recommendations to consider antimicrobial and adjunctive therapy varied. Eighty-six percent of guidelines contained recommendations for use, or consideration of use, of hydroxychloroquine. Guidance from 2 institutions mentioned use of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin in combination. Of the 13 institutions listing hydroxychloroquine dosing recommendations, 62% recommended maintenance dosing of 200 mg twice daily. Infectious diseases or other specialty consultation was required by 89% of institutions using interleukin-6 inhibitors for COVID-19 management. Conclusion Overall, the analysis revealed variability in treatment or supplemental pharmacologic therapy for the management of COVID-19.
