Authors: Laelasari Jimat , Nurasiah Iis , Khaleda Irna
Published: June 2024

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh rendahnya keterampilan berbicara siswa, hal tersebut dikarenakan  kegiatan pembelajaran aspek berbicara kurang menarik dan membosakan bagi siswa serta metode  pembelajaran yang digunakan masih bersifat pasif, sehingga siswa tidak terlibat aktif di dalam kelas akhirnya siswa masih malu-malu untuk mengungkapkan isi pikirannya, lalu pemilihan kata yang masih kurang tepat dan berbicaranya pun masih terbata-bata mungkin karena kurang percaya diri. Karena keterampilan berbicara itu sulit dipelajari tapi harus di praktekkan secara langsung melalui latihan secara terus menerus. Peneliti menggunakan pendekatan penelitian tindakan kelas dalam penelitian ini. Adapun subjek pada penelitian ini yaitu 13 siswa kelas III SD Negeri 2 Bojongkalong. Penelitian ini dilakukan melalui dua siklus yang mencakup fase perencanaan, pelaksanaan, observasi dan refleksi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa implementasi penerapan media permainan tradisional ucing puntang mampu meningkatkan keterampilan berbicara siswa kelas III SD Negeri 2 Bojongkalong. Temuan studi menunjukkan bahwa pada awalnya hanya 5 siswa dari 13 yang melebihi KKM dan didapatkan nilai rata-rata sebesar 57,46. Namun, setelah dilakukan siklus I jumlah siswa yang melebihi KKM meningkat menjadi 9 siswa dan diperoleh nilai rata-rata sebesar 69,5. Adapun pada siklus II terdapat peningkatan jumlah siswa yang melebihi KKM yaitu sebanyak 11 siswa, dan diperoleh nilai rata-rata sebesar 74,84. Selain itu, pada aspek  keterampilan berbicara pada tahap kegiatan siklus 1 terdapat peningkatan menuju siklus II.

Published: June 2024

This study aims to determine the efforts to form disciplinary character through habituation and exemplary class V teachers at SDN 2 Bangbayang. Schools really need efforts to form this character because it will become the basis for implementing disciplinary character education for students. Given the time of the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia, more or less shifted the values and norms that students had. Character is the difference between one and the other because the character is character, nature, which is very basic in a person. The method in this study uses a descriptive qualitative design that tends to use an inductive approach. The objects of this research were the Class V teachers and students. Data collection techniques using observation, interviews, and documentation. For the data's validity use source, technical, and time triangulation. Then analyzed by means of data reduction, data presentation, and verification. The results of the study show that there are two ways of character building, namely, one with a deliberate demonstration; by direct displays of teacher discipline, responsibility, and concern for the environment, and then by occasional example; like a teacher who always says sorry, please, thank you, respect teachers, superiors, especially students. The exemplary and habituation carried out by the teacher to students goes well, so it can be said to be successful.

Este relato tem como objetivo narrar as experiências vivenciadas durante o Estágio Supervisionado de Observação do curso de Licenciatura em Letras-Inglês da Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana (UEFS). Apresentamos uma reflexão sobre a relevância que os estágios, sobretudo na modalidade de observação, exercem no processo de formação inicial de professores. Assim, esse trabalho é resultado da experiência no componente curricular no primeiro dos seis estágios exigidos pelo currículo atual do curso. Essa prática foi realizada na escola campo, a fim de observar professores de língua inglesa em sala de aula. Tais experiências se alicerçam em autores como: Biazi et al. (2011), Ferragini e Tognato (2018), além de Leffa (2011, 2012) e Freire (1968). Nessa perspectiva, acreditamos que todos os processos de formação social são intrínsecos à educação básica e à disciplina de Estágio de Observação é fundamental para a formação inicial docente, a fim de mobilizar conhecimentos, crenças, atitudes, saberes e vivências através da observação da prática. Portanto, é importante ressaltar que os resultados que foram encontrados durante o estágio foram transformados em projetos de intervenção para promover a formação integral tanto dos alunos da escola quantos dos professores em formação inicial.
Adapting to uncertainty: Gender diversity in boardrooms and its role in enhancing sustainable corporate governance and ESG performance in the era of COVID-19
Authors: Ghofar Abdul , Muhammad Muhammad , Maneemai Parichart
Published: June 2024

This research investigates the role of women as a moderator variable in the relationship between governance and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance during the COVID-19 crisis. Using the sample of firms from five Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries, the results show that the presence of women in a board structure has a positive impact on ESG performance during the normal era. However, the woman board members have not proven to strengthen the relationship between governance and ESG performance during the COVID-19 era. This could be caused by the fact that in the COVID-19 era, firms need to concentrate more on short-term profit to survive. However, we believe their presence will improve the company’s reputation and speed up the firm’s recovery during times of crisis.
The reinforced pain catastrophizing and its neural association with chronic menstrual pain

Published: June 2024

Pain catastrophizing is a prominent psychological factor that exhibits a
robust correlation with pain. Although the complex property of pain
catastrophizing was reported to vary across different pain phases, the
contribution of chronic pain in its progression from general trait to a
higher state remains unclear. The objective of this study is to examine
the neural mechanism and degree to which pain catastrophizing is
reinforced in the context of primary dysmenorrhea (PDM), which is one of
the most prevalent gynecological complaints experienced by reproductive
women. 29 women with moderate to severe PDM were included in this study.
Arterial spin labeling was utilized to quantify the cerebral blood flow
(CBF) for each subject in both pain-free and painful phases. The pain
catastrophizing scale (PCS) was completed in two phases and the
Short-Formed McGill Pain Questionnaire was completed in the painful
phase. Compared to the pain catastrophizing in pain-free phase
(PCS), the pain catastrophizing in the painful phase
(PCS) is higher and positively correlated with the
compositive factor of menstrual pain. CBF analysis indicates the
PCS is positively associated with the CBF of frontal
cortex, hippocampus and amygdala. The reinforcement of pain
catastrophizing is correlated with the CBF of prefrontal cortex.
Specifically, the medial prefrontal cortex, which correlates with pain
state as well, plays a crucial role in mediating the reinforcing effect
of pain on PCS. These results promote both the
phenomenological and mechanical comprehension regarding pain
catastrophizing management in individuals with chronic pain.
Self-disgust and the brain: Individual difference in behavioral self-disgust mediates the relationship between regional gray matter volume in the medial prefrontal cortex and anger rumination
Authors: Su Shu , Zhu Wengfeng , Xia Ling-Xiang
Published: June 2024

Self-disgust is a negative appraisal and feeling of the self and one’s
own actions that plays an important role in psychological problems.
However, evidence about the neural substrate underpinning individual
difference in self-disgust and its negative function (i.e., anger
rumination) remains inadequate, which would be valuable for
understanding the self-mechanism. Here, we employed voxel-based
morphometry to explore the neuroanatomical basis of individual
difference in self-disgust, measured using the Self-Disgust Scale in 205
healthy volunteers. Whole-brain multiple regression analysis showed that
regional gray matter volume (rGMV) in the medial prefrontal cortex
(MPFC) was negatively correlated with individual difference in
behavioral self-disgust, with sex, age, and total brain volume (TBV) as
covariates. Meanwhile, prediction analysis applying four-fold balanced
cross-validation with linear regression supported the robustness of the
link between rGMV in the MPFC and individual difference in behavioral
self-disgust after adjusting for sex, age, and TBV. Furthermore,
mediation analysis indicated that rGMV in the MPFC predicted anger
rumination (measured by Anger Rumination Scale) through individual
difference in behavioral self-disgust after controlling for sex, age,
and TBV. The results of this study suggest that the MPFC plays a
critical role in individual difference in behavioral self-disgust and
its effect on negative affective cognition. Additionally, the present
study provides novel perspectives on, and evidence for, the
neuroanatomical mechanisms of the negative self and its deleterious
effects.
Perspectives of Clinicians and Program Decision-Makers on the Role of Fidelity Monitoring in Coordinated Specialty Care: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Read Halley , Barbic Skye , Wees Philip van der , Kohrt Brandon
Published: June 2024

Introduction: The purpose of this study is to describe how
Coordinated Specialty Care program clinicians and decision-makers
experience fidelity monitoring and what components of the fidelity model
are most relevant to them. Methods: Using an instrumental case
study design informed by the Exploration Preparation Implementation
Sustainment framework, data were collected using semi-structured
interviews. A constant comparison approach with both inductive and
deductive coding was used. Results: Fourteen participants
representing 3 regions of the United States were interviewed. The
analysis resulted in 22 codes and 5 themes, (1) the fidelity review
process, (2) facilitators and barriers to fidelity monitoring, (3) the
impact of monitoring fidelity, (4) pros and cons of fidelity monitoring,
and (5) shared decision making and flexibility. Across participants,
flexible implementation of the model components and shared
decision-making were considered central to implementation. Fidelity
monitoring conflicted with these goals in some experiences. Clinicians
and program decision-makers varied in the experience of facilitators and
barriers to fidelity, yet lack of training and education was an
important barrier. Conclusion: Although participants shared
prioritization of flexibility and shared decision-making as core needs,
the role of fidelity in achieving the goals of coordinated specialty
care was unclear and potentially conflicting. Better alignment of
fidelity monitoring with coordinated specialty care central tenants
could improve the experience of both implementers and clients.
Observations of elevated mixing and periodic structures within diurnal warm layers
Authors: Zeiden Kristin , Thomson Jim , Shcheribina Andrey , D'Asaro Eric A
Published: June 2024

A fleet of surface drifters (SWIFTs) equipped with down-looking
high-resolution ADCPs were used to estimate the turbulent kinetic energy
(TKE) dissipation rate (ε) within highly stratified diurnal warm layers
(DWLs) in the Southern California bight. Over a 10-day period, five
instances of DWLs were observed with strong surface temperature
anomalies up to 3 °C and velocity anomalies up to 0.3 m s-1.Profiles of ε in the upper 5 meters suggest turbulence is strongly
modulated by the DWL stratification. Burst-averaged (8.5 minutes) ε is
stronger than predicted by law-of-the-wall boundary layer scaling within
the DWL and suppressed below. Predictions for ε within the DWL are
improved by a shear-production scaling using observed shear and linearly
decaying turbulent stress. However, ε is still under-predicted.Examination of the un-averaged acoustic backscatter data suggests
elevated ε is related to the presence of turbulent structures in the DWL
which span the layer height and strongly modulate TKE. Evolution in the
bulk Richardson number each day suggests the DWLs become unstable to
layer-scale overturning and entrainment each afternoon, thus the
turbulent structures may result from shear-driven instability. This
interpretation is supported by a conditional average of the data during
a burst characterized by strongly periodic structures. The structures
resemble high-frequency internal waves with strong asymmetry in the
along-flow direction (steepening) which suggests they are unstable.
Coincident asymmetric patterns in upwelling/downwelling and
corresponding regions of strong vertical convergence/divergence suggest
both vertical transport and local TKE generation are plausible sources
of elevated ε in the DWL.

Authors: Cheewaprakobkit Pimpa , K. Shih Timothy , Lau Timothy , Lin Yu-Cheng , Lin Chih-Yang
Published: June 2024

Computer vision has gained significant attention in the field of information technology due to its widespread application that addresses real-world challenges, surpassing human intelligence in tasks such as image recognition, classification, natural language processing, and even game playing. Sudoku, a challenging puzzle that has captivated many people, exhibits a complexity that has attracted researchers to leverage deep learning techniques for its solution. However, the reliance on black-box neural networks has raised concerns about transparency and explainability. In response to this challenge, we present the Rule-based Explaining Module (REM), which is designed to provide explanations of the decision-making processes using Recurrent Relational Networks (RRN). Our proposed methodology is to bridge the gap between complex RRN models and human understanding by unveiling the specific rules applied by the model at each stage of the Sudoku puzzle solving process. Evaluating REM on the Minimum Sudoku dataset, we achieved an accuracy of over 98.00%.

The Effects Of Surgical Arthroscopy And Intraarticular Medication On The Antioxidant System And Lipid Peroxidation In Knee Osteoarthritis
Authors: perktaş idris , Baydar Metin Lütfi
Published: June 2024

Aim: This study aims to evaluate the effects of joint surgery through arthroscopy, intraarticular medication, and antioxidant therapy on the antioxidant system and lipid peroxidation in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). The study examines the ability of high-molecular weight hyaluronan, sodium hyaluronate, and oral Vitamin E to modulate oxidative stress markers in the knee joint.

Methods and Materials: There were 60 patients diagnosed with KOA that were divided into four groups according to the type of treatment for this prospective study at the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology. Blood and synovial fluid samples collected before and after treatment were evaluated for superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde, MDA) catalase (CAT). SPSS software was used to perform statistical analysis where the significance level was set at p<0.05.

Results: Synovial fluid malondialdehyde levels that showed a decreased tendency among treated groups indicated a reduced state of antioxidant activity. However, no significant changes were observed in systemic oxidative stress markers. These findings show that localized antioxidant therapy within the knee can be effective in reducing oxidative stress, therefore, may have implications for nonsurgical treatment of KOA.

Conclusion: The results emphasize possible gains made from combining surgical arthroscopy together with antioxidant treatment in managing KOA. By reducing the level of oxidative stress within the knee joint, this combined method can provide a viable solution to improve symptoms and quality of life among KOA patients.
Micropolar Fluid Flows Past a Porous Shell: A Model for Drug Delivery Using Porous Microspheres
Authors: Boodoo Curtis
Published: June 2024

The creeping flow of an incompressible, bounded micropolar fluid past a porous shell is investigated. The porous shell is modeled using a Darcy equation, sandwiched between a pair of transition Brinkman regions. Analytical expressions for the stream function, pressure, and microrotations are given for each region. Streamline patterns are presented for variations in hydraulic resistivity, micropolar constants, porous layer thickness, and Ochoa-Tapia stress jump coefficient. An expression for the dimensionless drag for the unbounded case of the system is presented, and its variation with hydraulic resistivity and porous shell thickness is presented. The unbounded case represents a theoretical model for oral drug delivery using porous microspheres. It was found that optimal circulation between the porous region and the outer fluid occurred for low values of hydraulic resistivity and for a complete porous sphere.
Multidisciplinary Team Practitioners Working in High Performance Sport: Skilled Intuitive ‘Doers’ or Novel Problem-Solving Innovators
Authors: King Ryan , McHugh Derek , Alexander Jill , Kiely John , Yiannaki Chris , Rhodes Dave
Published: June 2024

Practitioners operating in performance sports are required to problem solve, enabling them to offer tailored performance solutions while making expert decisions with high precision. Problem-solving and decision-making are intertwined and tangled in practice. However, the reality is that practitioners require two independent skill sets. This study aims to investigate performance practitioner’s approaches to problem-solving and decision-making, analysing the meta-cognitive skills required by multidisciplinary team (MDT) practitioners to be effective in their daily practice. Using a 71-statement Likert scale survey, 115 performance- and medical-related MDT practitioners were surveyed to gain insight into their strengths and perceptions of how they think about problem-solving and decision-making in their work. We tabulated descriptive data and created heat maps to visualise correlations between responses. Findings suggest that practitioners rely on a mixed bag of approaches, cognitively toggling between problem types, approaches, and decision styles. In this study, practitioners preferred skilled procedural doing and intuitive expertise to overcome simple problems over rationalistic, logical innovation to address complex problems. Findings suggest the need for MDT practitioners to differentiate between problem types, problem-solving approaches, and decision-making styles while deepening our comprehension of practitioners’ expertise. It offers insight into the cognition that forms the foundation of their approaches, providing a valuable perspective.

Published: June 2024

Rapid global warming and continuous climate change threaten the construction industry and human existence, especially in developing countries. Many developed countries are engaging their professional stakeholders on innovation and technology to mitigate climate change on humanity. Studies concerning inclusive efforts by developing countries’ stakeholders, including Nigeria, are scarce. Thus, this study investigates the construction industry’s practitioners’ preparedness to mitigate climate change through pre- and post-planning. Also, the study appraises climate change’s impact on construction activities and proffered measures to mitigate them. The research employed face-to-face data collection via a qualitative approach. The researchers engaged 33 knowledgeable participants. The study covered Abuja, Benin City, Owerri, and Lagos and achieved saturation at the 30th participant. The research employed a thematic approach to analyse the collected data. Findings reveal that Nigerian construction practitioners cannot cope with climate change impacts because of lax planning and inadequate technology to mitigate the issues. Also, the government’s attitude towards climate change has not helped matters. Also, the study suggested measures to mitigate the impact of climate change on construction activities in Nigeria. Therefore, as part of the research contributions, all-inclusive and integrated regulatory policies and programmes should be tailored toward mitigating climate change. This includes integrated stakeholder sensitisation, investment in infrastructure that supports anti-climate change, prioritising practices in the industry to achieve sustainable project transformation, and integration of climate change interventions into pre- and post-contract administration.
Sustainable membrane technology for water purification—Manufacturing, recycling and environmental impacts
Authors: Kausar Ayesha
Published: June 2024

Water pollution has become a serious threat to our ecosystem. Water contamination due to human, commercial, and industrial activities has negatively affected the whole world. Owing to the global demanding challenges of water pollution treatments and achieving sustainability, membrane technology has gained increasing research attention. Although numerous membrane materials have focused, the sustainable water purification membranes are most effective for environmental needs. In this regard sustainable, green, and recyclable polymeric and nanocomposite membranes have been developed. Materials fulfilling sustainable environmental demands usually include wide-ranging polyesters, polyamides, polysulfones, and recyclable/biodegradable petroleum polymers plus non-toxic solvents. Consequently, water purification membranes for nanofiltration, microfiltration, reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, and related filtration processes have been designed. Sustainable polymer membranes for water purification have been manufactured using facile techniques. The resulting membranes have been tested for desalination, dye removal, ion separation, and antibacterial processes for wastewater. Environmental sustainability studies have also pointed towards desired life cycle assessment results for these water purification membranes. Recycling of water treatment membranes have been performed by three major processes mechanical recycling, chemical recycling, or thermal recycling. Moreover, use of sustainable membranes has caused positive environmental impacts for safe waste water treatment. Importantly, worth of sustainable water purification membranes has been analyzed for the environmentally friendly water purification applications. There is vast scope of developing and investigating water purification membranes using countless sustainable polymers, materials, and nanomaterials. Hence, value of sustainable membranes has been analyzed to meet the global demands and challenges to attain future clean water and ecosystem.
The pathophysiology and clinical phenotypes of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine-related cutaneous adverse reactions: A narrative review
Authors: Ishikawa Osamu
Published: June 2024

Cutaneous adverse reactions (CARs) after COVD-19 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccines have been reported worldwide, but the pathophysiology of CARs remains to be elucidated. To understand the pathophysiology, it is essential to know how the innate and adaptive immunity are activated after vaccination. At present, majority of CARs are presumed to be evoked by innate immunity response. Reviewing the previous articles, I propose the clinical classification of CARs; local injection site reaction, generalized eruption, localized eruption and others. Since COVID-19 mutates continuously to overcome the existing vaccines, our steady efforts are indispensable to clarify the pathophysiology of CARs and contribute to the development of novel vaccines with least adverse events and high efficacy.

O artigo intitulado “Direito a inclusão da Criança Portadora de Transtorno do Espectro Autista na Escola: Garantias do Estado de Direito e Políticas Públicas para a sua Efetividade”, tem como finalidade abordar o direito à inclusão da criança portadora do Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) na escola e as garantias do Estado de Direito, bem como as políticas públicas implementadas no Brasil e observar se há efetividade, abrangendo o Estatuto da Criança do Adolescente, o Estatuto da Pessoa com Deficiência, a Lei n. 12.764/2012, a Constituição Federal e demais legislações. Tem como objetivo geral analisar se o direito à inclusão da criança com espectro autista na escola é garantido pelo Estado de Direito Brasileiro, analisando a legislação brasileira e as políticas públicas adotadas, buscando através dos objetivos específicos: compreender o espectro do autismo em crianças; analisar a legislação brasileira que garanta a proteção e inclusão das crianças na escola, e; abordar as políticas públicas de inclusão da criança portadora de TEA e se estas são efetivas. A metodologia adotada é qualitativa e o método de abordagem é dedutivo, baseado em pesquisa teórica, bibliográfica em obras literárias e artigos científicos de revistas renomadas. Conclui-se que mesmo com proteção legislativa e programas de políticas públicas, é necessário cuidado maior por parte do Estado Brasileiro e todo o poder público para garantir a inclusão no acesso à educação da criança portadora do TEA, vez que não há marcadores estatísticos de que a implementação destes programas de inclusão está surtindo o efeito esperado.

La présente étude transversale propose d’examiner l’évolution des attitudes à l’égard de l’intégration scolaire et le sentiment d’auto-efficacité (SAE) d’enseignant·e·s vaudois·e·s, avant et après l’entrée en vigueur de la Loi sur la pédagogie spécialisée et l’introduction du concept 360° en 2019. Les attitudes et le SAE mesurés en 2022 chez 167 enseignant·e·s ont été comparés aux données recueillies auprès de 306 enseignant·e·s en 2016. Les résultats indiquent que les attitudes des enseignant·e·s sont moins positives en 2022 qu’en 2016 et que leur niveau de SAE est moins élevé, particulièrement au secondaire I. Ces résultats ouvrent des pistes de réflexion concernant l’accompagnement des (futur·e·s) enseignant·e·s dans la mise en œuvre de l’école à visée inclusive.

Der Beitrag untersucht den Einfluss von sozialer Unterstützung und Arbeitsengagement auf die transformationale Führung bei 2’011 Schulleitungen an Schweizer Schulen in sozial benachteiligten und nicht benachteiligten Lagen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Arbeitsengagement und soziale Unterstützung mit transformationaler Führung zusammenhängen, unabhängig von der Lage. Jedoch weisen Schulleitungen an Schulen in sozial benachteiligter Lage ein geringeres Arbeitsengagement und eine geringer ausgeprägte transformationale Führung auf. Wiederum besteht ein Zusammenhang zwischen sozialer Unterstützung und dem Arbeitsengagement. Schulleitungen, die eine stärkere Unterstützung im Kollegium erfahren, zeigen ein höheres Arbeitsengagement und dadurch eine stärker ausgeprägte transformationale Führung.
Les difficultés de lecture en faculté des Lettres perçues par les étudiant·e·s et leurs enseignant·e·s: le grand écart?
Authors: Schaer Camille , Maitre Jean-Philippe , Glauser Vanessa
Published: June 2024

L’article s’intéresse aux difficultés de lecture universitaire des étudiant·e·s. Après une synthèse des rares travaux sur la question et l’expression de leurs liens avec ceux sur les littératies universitaires, notre contribution propose un compte-rendu d’une étude empirique portant sur les difficultés perçues d’étudiant·e·s d’une faculté des Lettres de Suisse romande et de celles perçues par leurs enseignant·e·s. Les résultats indiquent que ces dernier·ère·s perçoivent plus de difficultés que les premier·ère·s ; que cela soit dans une évaluation globale, ou spécifique à certains aspects de la lecture. Ce grand écart, couplé à un champ d’étude encore étroit, nous invitent à défendre la réplication de telles études et la systématisation des définitions et méthodologies à utiliser.

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and computed tomography (CCT) are advanced imaging modalities that recently revolutionized the conventional diagnostic approach to congenital heart diseases (CHD), supporting echocardiography and often replacing cardiac catheterization. This is the second of two complementary documents, endorsed by experts from the Working Group of the Italian Society of Pediatric Cardiology and the Italian College of Cardiac Radiology of the Italian Society of Medical and Interventional Radiology, aimed at giving updated indications on the appropriate use of CMR and CCT in different clinical CHD settings, in both pediatrics and adults. In this article, support is also given to radiologists, pediatricians, cardiologists, and cardiac surgeons for indications and appropriateness criteria for CMR and CCT in the most referred CHD, following the proposed new criteria presented and discussed in the first document. This second document also examines the impact of devices and prostheses for CMR and CCT in CHD and additionally presents some indications for CMR and CCT exams when sedation or narcosis is needed.
Commercialisation of Intellectual Property: A Comparative Analysis of Georgia and Estonia
Authors: Tkeshelashvili Ketevan , Dutt Pawan Kumar , Gurgenidze Miranda
Published: June 2024

Commercialisation of intellectual property (IP) constitutes a vital part of a state’s economy and signifi cantly contributes to the development and success of any innovative project. At the same time, commercialisation of IP is directly linked to the adopted legislation on patent rights as it regulates the protection and exploitation of IP. This article seeks to compare the IP commercialisation frameworks in Georgia and Estonia and identify the challenges encountered in patent protection mechanisms in Georgia. Estonia and Georgia are both located in the Eastern European region and share similar legal systems and constitutions. By aligning its legislative framework with European Union standards and supporting universities and fostering a culture of innovation, Estonia sets a notable example in IP commercialisation. However, Georgia’s legislative framework still lacks certain elements that are crucial for developing IP commercialisation. The low number of registered patent applications in Georgia indicates the challenges and obstacles in this fi eld. The comparison of legal frameworks and practices in these countries can provide important insights into the challenges and solutions in IP commercialisation. The article examines how inefficient legislative framework leads to inconsistent patent protection mechanisms in Georgia, creating barriers in IP commercialisation, while underlining Estonia’s success in innovation and the establishment of a progressive IP commercialisation landscape.

The article also presents a set of recommendations for Georgia to align its framework with EU standards, initiating joining the European Patent Convention, strengthening IP enforcement, and promoting open IP policies in universities, following Estonia’s model.
Higher Education Policy and Practice: What Hinders the Development of Knowledge-Based Economy in Georgia?
Authors: Lezhava Diana
Published: June 2024

The article discusses the problematic linkages between higher education and the development of a knowledge-based economy in Georgia. The main challenges, as identified through qualitative and quantitative research, are caused by, on the one hand, the lack of state’s long-term strategic vision of higher education development, insufficient funding of both education and research, and instrumentalization of the higher education system for political interests. On the other hand, however, the lack of awareness among industry representatives about their own role in supporting the commercialization of research further hinders the creation of a knowledge-based economy in Georgia.
