The Role of Self-Regulation in the Development of Psychological Competence in Students of Psychology
Authors: Garanina Zh. G.
Published: July 2020

The research featured relationship between self-regulation and psychological competence of future specialists. The study involved an analysis of theoretical approaches to this problem in domestic and foreign psychology. Psychological competence presupposes developed psychological knowledge and communicative abilities and skills, as well as a stable system of self-regulation that allows for effective management of one's behavior during professional interaction. The author established the features of psychological and communicative competences in students, as well as such regulatory qualities as self-regulation, self-control, and self-efficacy. The research revealed statistically significant relationships between the level of development of psychological and communicative competences and the characteristics of regulatory qualities. A cluster analysis showed three groups of students with different levels of communicative competence and regulatory qualities. The regulatory and communicative components of psychological competence appeared closely interrelated. Self-regulation, self-control, self-efficacy, and communicative skills of future psychologists were the instrumental basis for the development of psychological competence. A well-developed self-regulation helped students understand and control their behavioral reactions. It enabled them to carry out conscious and focused interaction with people in problematic professional situations, as well as contributed to the development of psychological competence during vocational training.

Authors: Kabrin V. I. , Vyskochkov V. S. , Prudovikov I. O. , Polyakova O. R.
Published: July 2020

This research is part of a large-scale project aimed at creating a factor model of creative leadership potential. The present article features the effect of major and gender of students on their creative leadership potential. The authors identified groups of variables that characterize creative leadership potential. The study was based on the holodynamic and trans-communicative paradigm. The following range of scientific methods made it possible to determine the characteristics of creative leadership potential: the method of modeling communicative worlds, the method of psychosemantic graph, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, sociability scale profile, and social network analysis. The study involved 189 students of humanities (101) and science (88). The results showed the specificity of personal creative characteristics and parameters of the communicative world of the participants. Gender proved insignificant for future research. Students that majored in humanities appeared both more original and more conformal. They tended to find unusual negative points in positive topics and problems. Science students worked better with specific information and facts. They were good at evaluating alternatives and planning.

Published: July 2020

Extreme climate events often have a significant and direct impact on social, economic, and environmental systems. This study is an attempt to characterize the current trends and future projections of extreme climatic indices in an arid region of Morocco on both an annual and a seasonal scale using 12 precipitation and temperature-based indices. The Mann–Kendall test was used to assess the trends, and the inverse distance weighted interpolation method was employed to analyze the spatial distribution of extreme precipitation indices. The results showed that the most extreme climate indices are spatially distributed with a clear gradient from the mountainous area toward the plains. Furthermore, the analysis indicates nonsignificant downward trends in the number of days with a rainfall amount greater than 10 or 20 mm. However, a significant negative trend in the consecutive dry days was observed at the Iloujdane and Sidi Bouathmane stations. The temperature indices have recorded statistically significant upward trends at all the stations. Finally, based on the RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios, future climate change simulations show, respectively, annual precipitation decreases of 23 and 34% and temperature increases of 1.9 and 2.8 °C, which could imply substantial losses of cereal yield in the rainfed agriculture.
Immunosuppressive Management of Pediatric Kidney Transplant Recipients
Authors: Seeman Tomáš
Published: July 2020

:

Kidney transplantation is a preferable treatment of children with end-stage kidney disease. All kidney
transplant recipients, including pediatric need immunosuppressive medications to prevent rejection episodes and
graft loss.

:

Induction therapy is used temporarily only immediately following transplantation while maintenance immunosuppressive
drugs are started and given long-term. There is currently no consensus regarding the use of induction
therapy in children; its use should be decided based on the immunological risk of the child.

:

The recent progress shows that the recommended strategy is to use as maintenance immunosuppressive therapy a
combination of a calcineurin inhibitor (preferably tacrolimus) with an antiproliferative drug (preferably mycophenolate
mofetil) with steroids that can be withdrawn early or late in low-risk children. The mTOR-inhibitors
(sirolimus, everolimus) are used rarely in pediatrics because of common side effects and no evidence of a benefit
over calcineurin inhibitors. The use of calcineurin inhibitors, mycophenolate, and mTOR-inhibitors should be
followed by therapeutic drug monitoring.

:

Immunosuppressive therapy of acute rejection consists of high-dose steroids and/or anti-lymphocyte antibodies
(T-cell mediated rejection) or plasma exchange, intravenous immunoglobulines and/or rituximab (antibodymediated
rejection).

:

The future strategies for research are mainly precise characterisation of children needing induction therapy, more
specific indications for mTOR-inhibitors and for the far future, the possibility to reach the immuno tolerance.
Unsymmetric Image Encryption Using Lower-Upper Decomposition and Structured Phase Mask in the Fractional Fourier Domain
Authors: Yadav Shivani , Singh Hukum
Published: July 2020

Background:

An asymmetric cryptosystem using Structured Phase Mask (SPM) and Random Phase Mask
(RPM) in fractional Fourier transform (FrFT) using lower-Upper decomposition with partial pivoting is proposed to
provide extra security to the system. The usage of structured phase mask offers additional parameter in encryption. In the
encoded process the phase-truncation (PT) part is replaced by the LUDP that is by the decomposition part.

Objective:

Introducing an asymmetric cryptosystem with LUDP is to avert quick identification of encrypted image in the
FrFT domain.

Method:

Input image is firstly convoluted with SPM, in FrFT and in LUDP then the obtained result is convoluted with
RPM in inverse FrFT and in LUDP. Finally, the encoded image is attained.

Results:

The strength and legitimacy of the proposed scheme have been verified by using numerical analysis on
MATLAB R2018a (9.4.0.813654). For checking the viability of the proposed scheme mathematical simulations have been
carried out which determines the performance and better quality of an image based on key sensitivity, occlusion attack,
noise attacks and histograms.

Conclusion:

A novel asymmetric cryptosystem is proposed using two phase masks one is SPM and another is RPM.
LUDP is proposed in which the encoded procedure is different from the decoded procedure. Security is enhanced by
increasing the number of keys and the scheme is also robust against attacks. Statistical simulations are also carried out for
inspection the strength and viability of the algorithm.

Published: July 2020

El modelo energético mundial se basa en combustibles fósiles, el cual ha venido siendo sustituido por consideraciones ambientales y económicas, dándole paso a la biomasa y a las plantaciones dendroenegéticas. En Chile, las energías renovables no convencionales (ERNC) vienen ganando espacio, además la nación ha abocado esfuerzos en especies que posean buen potencial energético. Así, este estudio tiene como objetivo evaluar el potencial físico-químico, energético y perfiles térmicos de dos especies (Paulownia elongata x fortunei y Miscanthus x giganteus) para el uso energético en tres sitios contrastantes de Chile. Los análisis fueron realizados en su mayoría bajo los estándares de las Normas DIN. Los resultados para Paulownia mostraron diferencias entre los sitios, obteniendo los mejores resultados en el sitio El Vergel con un porcentaje de lignina de 34,84%, cenizas de 1,16%, material volátil de 81,70%, carbono de 47,02% y una densidad energética líquida (DEL) de 2,16 GJ m-3. Para Miscanthus los mejores resultados también fueron registrados en El Vergel, con porcentaje de lignina de 30,60%, cenizas de 2,84%, material volátil de 82,26% y carbono de 45,97% y una DEL de 1,67 GJ m-3, destacando que los mejores resultados de El Vergel son para la densidad D1. Respecto al perfil térmico (TGA-DTG), la Paulownia presentó pérdida de masa mayor que el Miscanthus y tuvo ignición a menor temperatura de 197,76 °C y 209,66 °C respectivamente. Por lo tanto, el mayor porcentaje de residuo lo presentó el Miscanthus con 5,63%. Consiguientemente, ambas especies presentan características deseables para su uso energético.

Published: July 2020

As a neighbouring country whose location is very close, there is a unique fact where the results of the PISA study show very different results between Indonesia and Singapore. Students' perceptions of learning have an important role to detect the quality of learning. Thus, this study aims to determine the factors of student perception of natural science learning and the differences between the two countries based on these factors. The sample in this study were 5870 Indonesian students and 5272 Singaporean students who took the 2015 PISA survey. The research data were the results of the PISA survey (codes ST098, ST100, ST103, and ST104) regarding student perception of natural science learning. The data analysis technique used is Principal Component Analysis to detect factors and Discriminant Analysis to show differences between the two countries. Students' perceptions of science learning in Singapore and Indonesia can be classified into five factors: Practicum, Assistant, Explorative, Counseling, and Collaborative. Based on these factors, there are differences in the perception of the implementation of science learning between Indonesian and Singaporean students. Indonesian students tend to be stronger in defining that science learning is full of exploration, collaboration, and teachers play the role of counselor very well, while Singapore students feel more than practical learning based on science and teachers provide student assistance in dealing with difficulties in the learning process.

There are distinct Rheumatic disorders, still Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is believed to be very prevailing. RA is an empathic disorder described over integral redness, constant inflammation, and the existence of auto-antibodies. In RA, inflammation in joints, loss of motion of joint stiffness, joint tenderness are most common in patients. Deformity of joints can be prevented by early diagnosis and treatment. The extremity of the disease can be reduced by combining the drugs and improved weight more profiled than single medication. Treat-to-target progress results in a superior-conclusion in RA, and the ACR, EULAR, and other specialized systems have supported treat-to-target as a basic curative strategy for RA. The novel methods used in RA have upgraded the development of the disorder and maximum people helpful in cancellation of clinical manifestations if the identification of disorder takes place before time. This review article is written after studying most of the journal’s articles, which were published between 1997-2019.
MUSIC(S) OF THE WORLD AS AN ONLINE EFL RESOURCE: A Japanese EFL classroom experience
Authors: Rockell Kim
Published: July 2020

This research considers how the study of musical performances from around the world can be drawn upon as a useful resource for language instruction, particularly in EFL Japanese university classrooms. This study shares the insights gained from literature reviews combined with the researcher’s teaching experiences on the advanced English elective course of Computer Assisted Ethnomusicology. This work was carried out over a five-year period between 2013–2018 at a university in the Tohoku region of Japan, based on a course that focused on the music and culture found in Oceania, South East Asia, East Asia, Africa and North America. This study identifies the language resources present within the ethnomusicological content, and identifies the ways it can help awaken learners to the rich variation that exists among the cultures of the world, and highlighting the way local and global features combine in the ‘glocal.’ In addition to digital applications, approaches introduced in the study also include the combination of high and low contact activities based on ethnomusicological resources. This helps to emphasize how Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), and open source multimedia make it possible to approach musical song texts and discourses that surround musical practice and performance and apply these to EFL teaching.
NORMAS ÉTICAS TRADUZEM-SE EM ÉTICA NA PESQUISA? PESQUISAS COM CRIANÇAS EM INSTITUIÇÕES E NAS CIDADES

O tema da ética em pesquisas com crianças tem estado em evidência no âmbito acadêmico.

REDISTRIBUCIÓN, RECONOCIMIENTO Y REPRESENTACIÓN: UNA LECTURA DE NANCY FRASER CON MIRADA DE INFANCIA
Authors: Muñoz Lourdes Gaitán
Published: July 2020

Justiça social ou justiça distributiva é um tema central da filosofia moral, assim como é para a orientação de políticas públicas envolvidas na distribuição de recursos sociais. No campo da sociologia da infância, essa dimensão tem sido estudada principalmente quando se trata da posição da criança em relação ao bem-estar social, o tipo e o grau de sua participação nos benefícios oferecidos pelo Estado, bem como a natureza e o conteúdo das políticas da infância. No entanto, a infância está fora do debate geral sobre o significado da justiça que está ocorrendo atualmente. Como em outros aspectos, as pessoas dedicadas à produção de pensamento ou conhecimento são adultos que compartilham com seus pares um conceito de infância entendido como “não-ser” e de crianças como quem “já será, mas ainda não ". Mas não é necessário forçar o argumento daqueles que refletem sobre a justiça, entendendo-a como a maneira pela qual as diferentes pessoas que compõem a sociedade podem receber tratamento igual, para encontrar seu vínculo com a linguagem da sociologia da infância, quando exige o reconhecimento das habilidades das crianças ou do direito de serem portadoras de benefícios sociais para elas mesmas. Este artigo se baseará na análise das propostas de Nancy Fraser para mostrar sua aplicabilidade à posição das crianças em relação à justiça.
O DIREITO DE BRINCAR: UMA NECESSIDADE PARA AS CRIANÇAS, UMA POTENCIALIDADE PARA A ESCOLA E A CIDADE
Authors: Tonucci Francesco
Published: July 2020

A principal questão abordada neste artigo é: por que e como a brincadeira infantil deve ser considerada um critério importante nas políticas urbanas? Uma possível resposta para este problema é encontrada ao longo do texto. Gostaria de começar esboçando a evolução mais recente (ou melhor, involução) da estrutura e organização urbana, enfatizando como ela define um ambiente que é proibido e hostil às crianças, a menos que sejam acompanhados por adultos; vou resumir o impacto desse ambiente no jogo e, portanto, no desenvolvimento das crianças, acentuando as diferentes características da mobilidade espacial em crianças e adultos, e o extremo perigo de isolar as crianças da experiência do perigo. Proporei uma alternativa radical à política urbana na qual as crianças e seu jogo são o foco principal, em vez de um problema marginal e não conhecido para ser considerado apenas como uma reflexão posterior, e apresentarei alguns casos concretos naqueles em que tal alternativa foi colocada em prática por crianças e políticos juntos, e seus efeitos foram testados e avaliados. Em conclusão, experiências semelhantes parecem justificar uma quantidade moderada de esperança para o futuro de nossas cidades, apesar de suas preocupantes condições atuais.
Evaluating the quality of services provided by the financial controller in governmental organizations: Using the SERVPERF model
Authors: Alnodel Ali A. , Khlaifah Naser , Elnafabi Hussein M.
Published: July 2020

Since governmental units are inefficient when it comes to public spending (Sutherland & Price, 2007), this research aims to measure the quality of the level of services provided by the financial controller (FC) in Saudi governmental units. The SERVPERF model was employed to measure the quality of the level of services of FCs, in terms of what beneficiaries’ desire and what already obtained. The study sample represents the beneficiaries of the services of FCs, specifically the accountants in the various government units. A t-test was used for paired samples in order to determine whether a fundamental difference exists between the level of service the recipient desires, according to the model dimensions, and what is actually being obtained. The results showed significant differences in the levels of assurance, sympathy, and tangibility, suggesting that recipients receive a lower level of services than what they desire. On the other side, the results showed no significant differences in the levels of reliability and responsiveness. These results reflect the nature of the traditional role of an FC, which is to ensure compliance with governmental regulations rather than the advisory role (Wilson, 2005). In light of the recent suggestions about financial control in government units (Rayp & Van De Sijpe, 2007), this study recommends that the advisory role of FCs should be enhanced.
Into the drink: observation of a novel hunting technique employed by an Eastern Gray Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis)
Authors: Sutton Alex O. , Fuirst Matthew , Bill Kristen
Published: July 2020

Observations of typically herbivorous species have shown that animals will opportunistically eat animal tissue that is either scavenged or hunted. Squirrels from a number of genera have been observed to hunt prey and consume meat in terrestrial ecosystems. Here we provide evidence of a novel hunting strategy employed by an Eastern Gray Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), which has not previously been observed hunting aquatic prey. More rigorous observational studies are needed to determine the extent of this behaviour in Eastern Gray Squirrel populations and whether fishing is a common foraging behaviour for this species.
First record of an Italian Wall Lizard (Podarcis siculus) in British Columbia, Canada
Authors: Hanke Gavin F. , Deichsel Guntram
Published: July 2020

Italian Wall Lizard (Podarcis siculus) is known from scattered locations in the United States, including Orcas Island, Washington, where a population went unreported for about a decade, but was confirmed in 2017. On 19 June 2019, a single adult female P. siculus was caught in an industrial area along the northern arm of the Fraser River in Vancouver, British Columbia; this represents the first record of this species on the loose in Canada. No other P. siculus were sighted in the Vancouver area. We assume this Canadian P. siculus was a lone stow-away and had not deposited eggs. We could not determine how it entered the province.

OBJECTIVE

To determine the effect of the sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor dapagliflozin on glucose flux, lipolysis, and ketone body concentrations during insulin withdrawal in people with type 1 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

A double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study with a 4-week washout period was performed in 12 people with type 1 diabetes using insulin pump therapy. Participants received dapagliflozin or placebo in random order for 7 days. Stable isotopes were infused to measure the glucose Ra, Rd, and lipolysis. At isotopic steady state, insulin was withdrawn, and the study was terminated after 600 min or earlier if blood glucose reached 18 mmol/L, bicarbonate <15 mmol/L, venous pH <7.35, or capillary ketones >5.0 mmol/L.

RESULTS

At baseline, glucose Ra was significantly higher for the dapagliflozin group than the placebo group. Following insulin withdrawal, plasma glucose concentrations at the end point were significantly lower with dapagliflozin than placebo and glucose Rd area under the curve (AUC)0–180 min and β-hydroxybutyrate (BOHB) AUC0–180 min were significantly higher. There was a small but significantly higher glycerol Ra (measure of lipolysis) AUC0–180 min with dapagliflozin. Nonesterified fatty acid concentrations were not different between treatments. When divided by BMI >27 and <27 kg/m2, basal glucose Ra, BOHB, and glycerol Ra AUC0–180 min were significantly higher in the low-BMI group with dapagliflozin treatment versus the low-BMI group with placebo.

CONCLUSIONS

During insulin withdrawal, the increase in BOHB with dapagliflozin may be partially due to increased lipolysis. However, reduced renal excretion, reduced BOHB uptake by peripheral tissues, or a metabolic switch to increased ketogenesis within the liver may also play a role.

ABSTRACTThis present study is carried out with the general objective of Proposing a New Health System Model based on the Praxeology of the actors that participate in the Health System Model of Peru, and as specific objectives (i) Analyze the Peruvian health system model from the subjectivities of its actors; (ii) Contrast jointly with the actors the models of Latin American health systems with the Peruvian health system model; (iii) Design the health system model for Peru from the perspective of the actors; (iv) Validate the proposed health system model for Peru; with reference to the bases of pragmatic paradigms, of complementarity, systemic, humanist and complexity.  A mixed Derivative Sequential Exploratory study was conducted, contemplating the scope of transdisciplinary, projective research and multiple triangulation was applied. The study was presented in two successive phases, in the first, the theory based on the research method was chosen, 40 key participants were interviewed using the semi-structured in-depth interview; in the second, the exploratory research method, applying a questionnaire to 1308 participants nationwide. The results on the analysis, a negative rating was determined: degree of user satisfaction of 10.7%, and it was determined that 89.3% agree with what a reform to the current model. Regarding the comparison with other models, it is was found that 89.3% believe that reforms applied in other countries must be implemented in our country. About the design of the model, it was found that 89.3% of the participants prefer a combination between public and private; the 91.6% that should be emphasized the implementation of health determinants; the 37.2%, of the models presented, prefer the Bismarck Model. Accordingly, a praxeological model for the Peruvian health system is proposed, that relegates the dilemma of preferences between public and private, that considers a comprehensive approach to health determinants; and progressively towards a Bismarck model.

Authors: Ansar Ansar , Dwi Putra Guyub Mahardian , Abdullah Sirajudin Haji , Siahaya Marsha Sylvia
Published: July 2020

Kebutuhan bahan bakar selalu meningkat seiring dengan peningkatan jumlah kendaraan bermotor, sehingga dibutuhkan alternatif energi pengganti bahan bakar yang ramah lingkungan. Tanaman aren (Arenga pinnata MERR) memiliki sumber gula yang dapat diolah menjadi etanol dengan proses fermentasi. Faktor pembentuk kadar etanol adalah penambahan starter dan nutrisi. Oleh karena itu, tujuan penelitian ini adalah melakukan variasi konsentrasi starter dan NPK untuk mengetahui pengaruhnya terhadap kadar etanol hasil fermentasi dan destilasi nira aren. Starter yang digunakan adalah Saccharomyces Cerevisiae dengan variasi 2,5; 5,0; dan 7,5 ml dengan penambahan NPK 19 gram. Fermentasi dilakukan selama 3 dan 6 hari, kemudian didestilasi menggunakan suhu kondensor 25oC. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa fermentasi hari ke-3 diperoleh kadar etanol tertinggi 45,67% pada konsentrasi starter 2,5% dan terendah 40,66% pada starter 5,0%, sedangkan untuk fermentasi hari ke-6 kadar etanol tertinggi 45,70% pada konsentrasi starter 7,5 mL dan terendah 41,27% pada starter 5,0%. Pada perlakuan penambahan NPK, kadar etanol tertinggi 45,00% dan terendah 41,67%. Sedangkan pada perlakuan tanpa penambahan NPK diperoleh kadar etanol tertinggi 68,33% dan terendah 51,67%. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa penambahan NPK pada proses fermentasi tidak memberikan pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap kadar etanol.
MITIGATION OF DISASTER RISK REDUCTION IN PANGANDARAN REGENCY
Authors: Pancasilawan Ramadhan
Published: July 2020

The government has a function to protect its people, including managing the disaster. The function of government in natural disaster management is a function that is expected to be carried out with full commitment. Disaster management is an activity carried out comprehensively and there is a need for active stakeholder involvement. Pangandaran Regency is a disaster-prone area. This article aims to describe the mitigation launched by the Pangandaran Regency government to reduce disaster risk using a Qualitative approach and observation, interview and literature study. Pangandaran Regency has been stretched to get out of the tsunami disaster that had occurred. Even mitigation efforts have been carried out with the involvement of various stakeholders in Pangandaran Regency. With mitigation, disaster risk reduction can be done. Therefore the government should make efforts to overcome disaster risk through the Mitigation Program by the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD). The disaster mitigation program consists of two types namely Mitigation with a Structural approach and namely mitigation by focusing on physical development, such as the construction of temporary evacuation sites or the construction of an early warning system (EAS). Then the other form is Non-Structural mitigation which is mitigation carried out in the form of non-physical development, such as disaster education to school children and also to the community through activities carried out by mothers. Disaster training is given to private parties to understand disaster in Pangandaran.Keywords: Disaster, Mitigation, Risk Reduction, Management Disaster, Pangandaran
Public Engagement in The Policy of Arrangement and Empowerment for Street Vendors in Garut Kota Subdistrict
Authors: Ramdhan Kurnia Muhamad , Rusli Budiman , Buchari Rd. Ahmad
Published: July 2020

This paper aims to examine the cause of public engagement ineffectiveness in the policy of arrangement and empowerment for street vendors in Garut Kota subdistrict. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that public engagement in this policy has not been effective, because it has not been related to: 1) Context and Settings; 2) Sponsors, Conveners, and Their Motivations for Direct Public Engagement; 3) Process Design; and 4) Outcomes. Regarding Context and Settings, there are no specific rules for public engagement, while in Regent’s Decree Number 511.23 / Kep. 790-Admrek / 2014 concerning the Team of Arrangement and Empowerment for Street Vendors in Garut Regency, the position of street vendors is only as a team member, without being accompanied by a clear definition of the roles, main tasks and functions. Public engagement for street vendors has become a formality to fulfill the principles of democratic governance, but in its implementation, most of the local government decisions and actions that are considered crucial in this policy do not represent street vendors desire. Regarding Sponsors, Conveners, and Their Motivations for Direct Public Engagement, public engagement in the policy of arrangement and empowerment for street vendors in Garut Kota subdistrict does not have sponsors yet in its sustainability, as for those who are organizers of public engagement in this policy based on the Regent’s Decree, especially in the fields that give positions to street vendors to be engaged as implementing elements, the fields in question are: 1) Fields of Socialization, Data Collection, and Structuring; and 2) Structuring / Relocation Operations. Some information, especially related to Process Design and Outcomes, is difficult to obtain. In substance, the author does not find information that is truly relevant to the aspects contained therein, because of the unavailability of Context and Settings that specifically regulate public engagement.

تناول البحث دور أعادة الهيكلة المالية والتشغيلية في تحسين الاداء المالي للمصارف الحكومية العراقية، إذ تمثلت مشكلة البحث بطرح سؤال رئيسي وهو هل تحتاج المصارف الحكومية المبحوثة الى إعادة الهيكلة المالية والتشغيلية وما هي دورهما في تحسين الاداء المالي؟ وتنطلق أهمية البحث من كون المصارف الحكومية تعدّ أحد الركائز الأساسية للجهاز المصرفي العراقي والدور الذي تلعبه في الاقتصاد العراقي.ولقد أكتسب الموضوع أهمية أستثنائيه في بيئة مصرفية حكومية تبدو بأمس الحاجة الى اعادة الهيكلة في جوانبها المالية والتشغيلية لمواكبة التطورات العالمية وتلبية المتطلبات المصرفية الحديثة.

اعتمادا على ماتقدم ولأهمية المصارف الحكومية، فان البحث الحالي يسعى إلى تحديد دور اعادة الهيكلة المالية والتشغيلية في تحسين الاداء المالي في ضوء تحليل البيانات المجمعة بواسطة القوائم المالية لتحليل الجانب المالي واستمارة الاستبانة لتحليل الجانب التشغيلي الموزعة على عينة من المسئولين في المصارف الحكومية المبحوثة. وتوصل البحث إلى مجموعة من الاستنتاجات أهمها:

يعاني المصارف العراقية الحكومية من مشاكل في مجالات مالية مختلفة بالاضافة الى مشاكل تشغيلية التي تتمثل بعدم قدرتها في تلبية حاجات ورغبات المتعاملين مما أثر على مستوى أداءها المالي سلباً ويخفض مستوى الثقة بها من قبل المتعاملين.

وجود تأثير معنوي موجب لإعادة الهيكلة المالية والتشغيلية مجتمعاً في تحسين الاداء المالي، حيث بلغت معامل التحديد (58.3%) ويستنتج الباحث في ضوء ذلك بان تحسين الاداء المالي يستمد خواصها ومقوماتها من عملية اعادة الهيكلة المالية والتشغيلية.

وقدمت مقترحات منسجمة مع هذه الاستنتاجات نذكر أهمها، رفع روؤس اموال لمصارف الحكومية التي لاتستوفي معدلات كفاية رأس المال بشكل متدرج من قبل وزارة المالية بما يعزز ملاءتها وكفايتها ولتتناسب حجم التمويل الذى تقوم تلك المصارف بمنحه ومع حجم ودائعها ولكي تستطيع الصمود أمام المنافسة وزيادة الثقة بها، وزيادة الاستثمار في التكنولوجيا المصرفية وتقديم خدمات متطورة تلبي حاجات ورغبات المتعاملين.
