Der Traktat O писменехъ des Mönchs Chrabr
Authors: Marti Roland
Published: May 2023

Der Traktat O pismenechъ ist einer der wichtigsten Texte für die frühe Geschichte des (alt)kirchenslavischen Schrifttums. Er ist offensichtlich konzipiert als Apologie der slavischen Schrift und der Verwendung des Slavischen in der Kirche, insbesondere für die Übersetzung der heiligen Schrift. Obwohl eher kurz, vermittelt er einzigartige Informationen hinsichtlich des ältesten für das Slavische verwendeten Alphabets, nämlich der Glagolica. Ursprünglich im 9. Jahrhundert in glagolitischer Schrift geschrieben, ist er in einer großen Anzahl kyrillischer Abschriften aus dem 14. bis 19. Jahrhundert überliefert. Angesichts seiner Bedeutung für die Geschichte des Altkirchenslavischen haben sich zahlreiche Forscher seit dem 19. Jahrhundert bis heute für den Text interessiert. Insbesondere wurden mehrere unterschiedliche Klassifikationen der handschriftlichen Überlieferung vorgeschlagen. Die verschiedenen Vorschläge werden dargestellt, ebenso die verbleibenden Desiderata der Forschung.

Bacterial profile of urinary tract infections in Diabetic postmenopausal women
Authors: Ayoub Nedhal S. , Abdallah Khalid , AL-Khazraji Safyia K.
Published: May 2023

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common bacterial infection in women in general and in postmenopausal women in particular. Bacteriuria occurs more often in elderly functionally impaired women but in general many of it are asymptomatic.However the risk factors associated with recurrent UTI in elderly women are not widely described.Bacteuria in elderly women is associated with high mortality rates ,however many of thus bacteriuria are asymptomatic (Assel et al.,2009).The belief that diabetes ,a common metabolic disorder is associated with ahigher risk of UTI is widespread,diabetes result in several abnormalities of the host defense system that might result in a higher risk of certain infection.Patient and Method: The prospectiye study included 200 cases of urinary tract infection with diabetes mellitus type 2 in postmenopausal women visiting Medicine out patients and in patients Clinic of Medical City Teaching Hospital in Baghdad city. This study period was from 15 November 2011 till 15 June 2012. Urine Samples were collacted from women under supervision of the specialist’s physicians. General urine examination was accomplished for each patient. For patients suspected with DM type 2the Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) level was measured considering also the duration of diabetes. The urine samples were inoculated directly onto enrichment and selective media for the isolation of the causative bacteria. The isolates were identified using different microscopical, culture characteristics and biochemical testes.Results: Totally in the four studied groups E.coli was the most common isolates bacteria 39(23.0%),followed by Klebsiella 26(15.3%),Candida albicans 25(14.7%),non hemolytic streptococcus 30(6.5%), Moraxilla catarrhalis 28(16.5%) and diaphtheroid 23(13.6%). Wherease Staphylococcus aureus comprised 13(7.7%). There was no significant relation shipe between type of uropathogenes and HbA1c level .However the relation was significant between uropathogenes and kind of diabetes treatment and duration of diabetes. E.coli and klebsiella growth isolated from diabetic cases was heavy rather than moderate growth.Conclusion: In postmenopausal women the incidence of UTI in age group 50-60 yrs was higher than that of 61-70. However there was no significant difference between diabetic and non diabetic women groups, The risk of UTI was higher with longer duration of diabetes rather than degree of glycemic control (HbA1C), women undergoing pharmacological treatment for diabetes were mainly at higher risk suggesting association between severity of diabetes and risk of UTI, E.coli was the most single isolated organism in all women as well as young women.
The Utility of Paraspinal Mapping Technique in the Diagnosis of Lumbar Spinal Canal Stenosis.
Authors: Fakhry Zina S. , Mohammed Najeeb H. , Ali Safaa H.
Published: May 2023

Background: Lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSCS) is a disorder that causes neurologic deficit, pain and disability. It is common in the elderly, and increasingly encountered as the population ages. Because other causes of back pain are common and difficult to prove, it is possible that mechanical backache, in conjunction with coincident neuropathy or other unrelated leg complaint, might lead to inappropriate treatment including surgery. Thus, accurate diagnosis of the clinical syndrome of spinal stenosis using paraspinal mapping technique may be of critical importance.Objectives: Asses the utility of paraspinal mapping technique in detecting the level of lumbar radiculopathies in patients with lumbar spinal canal stenosis.Subjects and methods: Ninety seven (97) patients with LSCS with a mean age of (46.3±11.2) years and thirty four (34) healthy control subjects with a mean age of (42.8±8.8) years involved in the study. Needle EMG of lumbar paraspinal muscles in addition to eight lower limbs muscles were performed.Results: Paraspinal muscles scores greater than 4 significantly differentiate the patients with LSCS from the control groups. The percentages of each level of lumbar radiculopathy by using paraspinal mapping technique differ from those by using lower limbs electromyography (EMG) for example right and left L5 radiculopathy 19.6%, 18.6% using EMG of PSM when compared with 78.2%, 79.4% using EMG of lower limbs muscles, and the percentages will increase by combination of both tests in such a way that RT and LT L5 radiculopathy increase to 84.5%, 82.5%.Conclusion: Paraspinal mapping technique is a sensitive, useful, quantifiable and quite effective method in the diagnosis of lumbar spinal canal stenosis when compared with lower limbs EMG.
Digital Health Data Capture with a Controlled Natural Language
Authors: Kankainen Kristian Juha Ismo , Listenmaa Inari , Piho Gunnar , Ross Peeter
Published: May 2023

Written text has been the preferred medium for storing health data ever since Hippocrates, and the medical narrative is what enables a humanized clinical relationship. Can’t we admit natural language as a user-accepted technology that has stood against the test of time? We have previously presented a controlled natural language as a human-computer interface for semantic data capture already at the point of care. Our computable language was driven by a linguistic interpretation of the conceptual model of the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine – Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT). This paper presents an extension that allows the capture of measurement results with numerical values and units. We discuss the relation our method can have with emerging clinical information modelling.
Imagens a galope: cruzamentos entre filosofia e psicanálise na obra de Alfredo Jaar
Authors: Monteiro Juliana de Moraes
Published: May 2023

O artigo parte de uma ação realizada pelo artista chileno Alfredo Jaar em agosto de 2019, na cidade de Edimburgo. Trata-se de uma obra intitulada “I can’t go on, I’ll go on”.  Mobilizando referências de autores como Guy Debord, Georges Didi-Huberman e Susan Buck-Morss, o texto é uma interrogação sobre o estatuto das imagens no mundo contemporâneo e seus modos de insurgência diante dos mecanismos de dominação e sujeição. A pergunta fundamental é: em um mundo saturado de imagens que reforçam opressões, como conceber outros regimes visuais que não sejam capturados pela tríade do neoliberalismo – colonialismo – fascismo? Propondo cruzamentos entre perspectivas filosóficas e referências da psicanálise de Freud e Lacan, buscamos pensar, junto às práticas artísticas de Alfredo Jaar, como certas imagens se constituem como um embate direto com esse problema, criando formas de fazer aparecer parcelas de humanidade em uma visualidade cada vez mais anestesiada pela violência total do espetáculo.
A brief history of historicity
Authors: De Carvalho Dias Leite Augusto Bruno
Published: May 2023

I aim to clarify some characteristics of historicity as a technical term of historiography, as well as a philosophical concept. I would therefore like to present a brief biography of the concept focus on the initial main moments of its conceptualization – in the works of Hegel, Dilthey, Yorck von Wartenburg and Heidegger – while also proposing an analysis on its ontological applicability or metahistorical validity. Following the contributions of Heidegger regarding the understanding of historicity as an ontological structure of existence in general, I argue that this philosophical concept of historicity still has something to teach to the historical-philosophical way thinking. In this sense, finally, I would like to briefly introduce the paradoxical nature of the concept of past as one important logical evidence of what is commonly called the historical or temporal condition of existence, which can be epitomized by the ontological term historicity.
On the subject part I: what is the subject?
Authors: Frauen Jan-Boje
Published: May 2023

The aim of this article is to provide a rigorous scientific and philosophical foundation for the analysis of what subjective being does in the objective world. It analyzes subjectivity as the awareness and agency of animated organisms. Wherever an organism has awareness and agency objectively, it is argued, this is experienced subjectively also following a natural law of emergence of subjectivity from the object or physical world. Performing work on the object to sustain their ongoing emergence, individual organisms scaffold themselves into structures that can emerge “super-agents” of further increased subjectivity. An increase of subjective awareness and agency, this article thus concludes, is real in the world. Without claiming that there is anything mystical like a “life force” or that there is a universal increase, it is argued that subjectivity must thus be taken seriously as a force for change in the objective world. The subject performs work on the object, which is an undeniable real-world impact. This awareness turned into agency, it is argued, is always experienced internally by the organisms that perform this work as an urge to perform this work. Subjectivity, hence, cannot be reduced to an epiphenomenon, even if fully accounted for and determined by natural laws.
Semiosphere and Anthropological Aggression on the Example of the “Memorial Conflict” — Polish-Russian borderland: Warmia
Authors: Boroch Robert
Published: May 2023

The analysis will concentrate on the “memorial conflict” currently taking place in the Polish–Russian border region of Warmia, Poland. The material presented in the article is the result of fieldwork in that region. Based on the findings, it was possible to make the following remarks in terms of anthropological aggression: (1) the inhabitants perceive the destruction of signs of local culture as an act of violence; (2) the apparent lack of semiotic links between national culture and local culture leads to social stratification, and (3) the local and the central administration policy goes against the cultural precepts of the residents and is perceived as a threat to the security of the population.
Achieving Sustainability in Smart Cities Mission in India through Universities’ Innovation in India
Authors: Singh Seema
Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND. As per the global trend, the Government of India has also designated 98 cities in India as smart cities to manage them more efficiently with technology. While the definition of Smart City is ambiguous and evolving, the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal -11 talks about making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilience and sustainable. The preventive methods during the pandemic COVID-19 have used technology for better implementation of the lockdown as Drone surveillance, work from home, e-teaching, e-meeting etc.

OBJECTIVE. In this background, objectives of the paper are:

RESEARCH METHODS AND DATA. A mixed method has been used. Spearman’s Rank correlation has been calculated for first and second objectives on NITI Aayog, Department of Science and Technology and Government of India data. Descriptive statistics and case study method have been used for third and fourth objectives on primary data.

FINDINGS. The paper through Spearman’s Rank correlation shows that economically developed states of India may not be sustainable and even all innovation may also not be sustainable. So, there is a need for special attention for sustainable innovation for the Smart Cities. Continuous demand for such innovative technologies can be met by innovation at engineering colleges. India has experienced an exponential growth of engineering colleges during last three decades. However, from the study of engineering colleges of Delhi, it can be said that so far they are not concentrating their innovation for the development of smart cities. They need to take clue from the ‘living lab’ experience of Barcelona where engineering colleges and universities are playing a central role in the framework of the smart city. There is a need to sensitise these colleges and their students regarding technological needs of the smart cities. At the same time, they need to know about the special needs of marginalised groups of people and women for their safety and security etc. Like Unnat Bharat, a flagship programme of the Ministry of Education, the engineering colleges can work on the development and dissemination of social innovation under their university social responsibility (USR) initiatives. The institutions need to collaborate with other institutions and organisations to integrate their work with the CSR of the corporate sector and social sector activities of the government to achieve SDG Goal 17 of collaboration. These will ultimately help in achieving SDG 8 and 10 as will reduce inequality by creating decent work which will ultimately lead to economic development of the people in the lower segment of the smart cities.
The Evolution of the Normative Regulation in Hospital Safety and Security
Authors: Mészáros István
Published: May 2023

Despite the Covid-19 epidemic, relatively little is said about hospital safety and security these days, in fact, the concept, along with its complexity, is not precisely defined. In 2016,the concept of critical infrastructures and thus the operator’s security approach appeared in the Hungarian health care system. This required a more complex approach than before on the part of the security organisations. It is absolutely necessary to manage the human resources organisation, the operation of the facilities, the various service areas and the so-called classical security and safety areas such as property, fire, environment, disaster management and labour safety areas of the institutions in one management system. These are the areas where complex interpretation can be encountered in every case during Operator Security Planning. In my study, I review the evolution of the normative regulation of these areas and their impact on the security operators’ activities in hospitals from the period of the regime change to the present day, until the emergence of the complex operator security approach.
Műszaki fejlesztési lehetőségek a tűzoltóságok légzésvédelme terén
Authors: Pántya Péter
Published: May 2023

A tűzoltósági, katasztrófavédelmi beavatkozó területen a légzésvédelmet Magyarországon és a világon mindenhol hasonló műszaki megoldásokkal biztosítják. A különböző kárhelyszíneken található levegőtől szükség esetén (füst, mérgező elemek jelenléte) mindig függetleníteni kell a beavatkozó tűzoltó erőket. Ez jellemzően a sűrített levegős rendszerű, egypalackos, a tűzoltó által hordozott egyéni védőeszköz az adott káreseti környezettől független levegő biztosítására.
A cikk célja, hogy az elmúlt évek kutatási eredményeit áttekintve és a jelenleg folyó publikus és zárt, hazai és nemzetközi kutatásokat az elérhető módokon elemezve láthatóvá tegye, hogy milyen – elsősorban műszaki – lehetőségek vannak napjainkban az általánosan rendszerben tartott, sűrített levegős légzésvédelmi eszközök képesség és kapacitásbővítésére. Megvizsgálom, hogy milyen további elemekkel bővíthetők a tűzoltó erők számára a napjainkban már rendszernek is tekinthető komplex légzésvédelmi megoldások. A cikkben a szerző bemutatja azokat az általános tűzoltósági káreseti környezeteket, kárhelyszíni veszélyforrásokat, ahol légzésvédelmet igénylő beavatkozások történnek. A hazai és nemzetközi tűzoltóságoknál rendelkezésre álló, napjainkban elérhető műszaki megoldásokat és a jelenleg még nem általános, de elérhető új légzésvédelmi kialakításokat tekintem át. Felvázolom az új fejlesztési irányokat, miszerint a következő években milyen területeken és milyen mértékben van lehetőség a tűzoltóságok számára a bevetett erők légzésvédelmét biztosítani, melyek a korlátozó, többszempontú fizikai tényezők. Bemutatom továbbá a különböző nemzetközi megoldásokat, amelyek hazai adaptációjának esetleges hasznosságát és lehetőségeit is kifejtem.
A kutatási módszer elsősorban az irodalomkutatás, amelynek során elemzem a vizsgált műszaki, légzésvédelmi célú egyéni védőeszköz területen a közelmúltban született hazai és nemzetközi szerzők aktuális kutatási eredményeit, a kapcsolódó matematikai és fizikai jelenségek vizsgálatait és az azokból levonható következtetéseket. Mindezek a vonatkozó publikációk elemzésén, valamint a szakterületi szakértőkkel folytatott irányított konzultációkon alapulnak.
Crisis Communication during Covid–19
Authors: Bányász Péter
Published: May 2023

Early in 2020, the Covid–19 epidemic started, posing many challenges for civilisation. The pandemic caused a paradigm change in many ways, unavoidably increasing people’s uncertainty and worry about a new global order. Along with stopping the virus, governments aiming to contain the pandemic had to deal appropriately with the infodemic scenario, which supported several pseudo-scientific opinions among substantial numbers of people. The spread of more and more nonsense fake news has eroded the trust in the institutions, which has led to a prolonged phase of the epidemic’s end. It is yet unknown how long the coronavirus epidemic will have an impact on daily life as of the time of writing, in the summer of 2022, more outbreaks have been brought on by mask use and vaccination refusal. Because of this, controlling the crisis and reducing the harm the infodemic creates depends on effective government crisis communication. This essay attempts to illustrate effective crisis communication strategies based on international literature.
The Textual Relation of the Peshitta of Ezekiel 1-12 to MT and to the Ancient Versions (Tg-J and LXX)
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Azevedo Joaquim
Published: May 2023

Problem . The dilemma of the Syriac version is its mysterious provenance and the direct relationship it may have to the other versions (particularly G [Septuagint] and CJ [Targum Jonathan]). Thus some scholars have automatically discarded or ignored the Peshitta version as a useful tool (as a textual witness) for the study of the Hebrew text. The knowledge of textual problems, in this case the relationship of S [Peshitta Version] to the ancient versions, is of extreme importance in the analysis and study of the Hebrew Bible. The awareness of G [Septuagint], CJ [Targum Jonathan], and M [Masoretic Text] employed in the textual composition of S [Peshitta Version] will help in exegetic, semantic, and linguistic studies of the Old Testament. Method . Critical editions of the OT with their apparatus constitute the basic database for this study. This work consists of a comparative, analytic, and evaluative study of the Peshitta version of Ezekiel in relationship to the ancient versions (G [Septuagint] and CJ [Targum Jonathan] and to M [Masoretic Text]. The study covers the first twelve chapters of Ezekiel, but only those readings in the S [Peshitta Version] that indicate a probable relationship to an external source are taken into consideration. Conclusion . S [Peshitta Version] (Ezek 1-12) was based on a Hebrew text similar to that of M [Masoretic Text], and any relationship to another ancient version can be explained as a mere coincidence or by the use of a common translation technique. In this case S [Peshitta Version] is useful as a tool in textual criticism of the Hebrew Bible, for it is a valuable witness to a Hebrew consonantal text very similar to M [Masoretic Text].
The Impact of the College Experience on the Lives of Female Single-Parent Students
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Watson Elizabeth
Published: May 2023

Problem. Poverty affects all people groups, but women are systematically poorer than men are. The feminization of poverty aptly defines the plight and consequence of women's poverty. In the United States the current federal mandate requires all able-bodied adults to be gainfully employed. Minimum-wage jobs, for unskilled and untrained workers, do not move poor women and their families out of poverty. Method. This study used quantitative and qualitative data to explore the impact of the college experience on 56 single parents who had attended a tuition-driven, faith-based college during the 10-year period of 1987-1997. Responses from a mailed questionnaire and focus group narratives presented the subjects' perceptions of changes in their lives as a result of their attending college. The five areas addressed were:(1) employment status and income, (2) involvement in the community, (3) parenting skills, (4) the inner spiritual life, and (5) personal empowerment. The overall impact on participants' lives was noted, as well as a comparison between those who graduated and those who did not. The findings were reported in statistical data, and illustrated in tables as well as in narrative form. Results. The overall average income increased from a mean of $8,000 before college to a mean of over $20,000 after leaving college. The quantitative results suggest moderate change in other areas studied, with the qualitative piece providing the in-depth story behind the experience. While both graduates and non-graduates reported the positive impact of the college experience, graduates demonstrated increased abilities in many areas. Conclusion. The increased income was expected as a result of earning a college degree or working toward one. The challenge for single-parent programs, however, is to provide better financial counseling and to limit educational loans to decrease severe indebtedness after a student leaves college. The loan payments in many cases offset the increased revenue earned. The minimal difference between those who graduated and those who did not suggests that the mere experience of going to college enriches lives by providing opportunities not offered outside the college arena.
Intergovernmental Mediation : a Technique for Successful Local Government Partnerships
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Wiseman W. Thomas
Published: May 2023

Problem. Statement Local government officials are faced with ever-increasing citizens' demands and unfunded Federal and State mandates while competing with neighboring governments for dwindling federal and state monies. Both of these tend to fuel intergovernmental conflicts. Research is necessary, therefore, to determine the most effective ways of addressing the alarming rate at which intergovernmental conflict is occurring in order to meet the needs of local government officials. Methodology. This study examined the relationship between local government organizations in terms of intergovernmental mediation, conflict resolution, and the sharing of revenues and resources. Data were collected from county commissioners in Ohio, township trustees, appointed local government officials, and citizens at large. Conclusion. Too few local governments employ intergovernmental mediation as a method to address conflict and intergovernmental disputes. Only 32% of those surveyed had any experience with intergovernmental mediation. In addition, many of the local government officials who employed mediation were not using a neutral third party. In examining Defiance County government’s intergovernmental mediation practices, it was discovered that intergovernmental mediation does help to reduce the potential of intergovernmental conflict In addition, there was a positive relationship between intergovernmental conflict mediation and timely solutions at a relatively low cost.
"But a Woman Who Fears the Lord Is To Be Praised": A Practical Vision in Proverbs 31
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Jeon Ye Jin
Published: May 2023

Proverbs begins with an exposition on what the "fear of the Lord" entails and ends with the description of the woman of noble character who fears the Lord (Prov. 31:30). Since few scholars have considered the woman of Prov. 31 in connection to the "fear of the Lord." this project overviews aspects of the "fear of the Lord" in the Old Testament, including all specific verses contacting the phrase, and examines the significance of their connections with Prov. 31. The contributions of this study include theological and practical implications of what it means to live a life fearing the Lord.
Religious Commitment as a Correlate of Mental Health and Life Satisfaction Among Black American Families
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Bernard-Fisher Judith
Published: May 2023

Problem. The salutary effect of religion is receiving greater acceptance among researchers, and its positive association with both physical and mental health has been increasingly examined in the scientific literature. Since religion has played a central role in the lives of Blacks, and since previous research has identified positive correlations between some religious attributes and individual well-being, it would seem that religious Black families would enjoy a greater degree of health. A religious commitment model encompassing affiliation, participation, devotional intensity, and practices was used in the investigation of Black families' mental health and life satisfaction. As the first study of this kind, integrating four scientifically proven dimensions within the religious commitment model, this study sought to identify and re-emphasize the beneficial facets of religiosity as they relate to Black families. Method. A randomized sample consisting of 236 Black families residing in the United States completed a family questionnaire. The data analysis was effected through multiple regression, canonical analysis, as well as t -tests and chi-square analyses. The .05 significance level was observed throughout the analysis. Results. Eight research questions were examined through the analysis of 14 hypotheses. Each of the four dimensions of religious commitment showed significant correlations with Black family mental health. Two facets of the devotional intensity dimension, family prayer and family feeling close to God, achieved the most frequent significant correlations with healthy family relationships and system maintenance. Religious commitment was not observed to significantly correlate with Black family life satisfaction. Significant differences between Seventh-day Adventist and non-Seventh-day Adventist families were noted on the Family Functioning scales and the religious commitment variables. No significant differences were noted between the two groups with respect to their life satisfaction and their feeling close to God. Conclusions. Most Black families reported an average to high life satisfaction, and the majority felt very close to God. Religious commitment correlated with various aspects of Black family mental health. Strong family characteristics included cohesion, expressiveness, religious emphasis, organization, sociability, as well as intellectual and cultural orientation. Black Seventh-day Adventist families seemed to be more democratic, and embraced to a greater degree intellectual, cultural, and religious values.

Purpose. The purpose of this study was threefold: to review current, education-relevant brain research; to review the educational writings of Ellen G. White for major emerging themes/principles; and to compare these findings for similarities and differences. Method and Results. Using an inductive process, the synthesis and comparison revealed 15 themes from brain research and 12 principles from White's writings from the middle 1800s and early 1900s. Comparison of the two lists revealed alignment on eight themes/principles, nonalignment on three themes/principles, and partial-alignment on seven themes/principles. Aligned themes/principles included: body and mind function as one; exercise and movement are vital to cognition; health habits profoundly affect learning; emotions/neurochemistry unite body and mind; social influences structure cognition; plasticity and enrichment contribute to braingrowth/change; stages of development provide optimal times for cognitive patterning; individualism typifies brain function. Themes/principles not aligned included: the Bible is foundational for education; knowledge of God establishes contact with the source of all knowledge; and redemption and restoration of the image of God in humanity are the goals of education. Conclusions. White defines true education as the harmonious relationship between physical, mental, and spiritual powers. Brain educators also draw attention to this three-faceted relationship; however, brain science tends to deal with this concept in a less integrated way than does White, though research on emotion appears to be promoting a more holistic attitude. White suggests education is potentiated when this harmonious triad is empowered by God. Brainscience says little about an outside vital power, though altruism is sometimes discussed in the context of new findings on the role of emotional/social functions. Based on the comparisons/differences observed, this study postulates that this triad relationship is a fractal-like pattern that is replicated and operant in brain structure and function, educational practice, and other life processes.

Published: May 2023

Problem. Since 1995, with the realization that by 2005 more than 61% of executives in the senior ranks of the Canadian Public Service would be eligible for retirement (La Releve, 1998), the need to recruit and develop competent leaders has become a matter of urgent attention. Method. Public sector leaders were surveyed by mail-in questionnaires as to their ratings of a set of leadership competencies. Analogue research for privatesector leaders, conducted by a colleague, was incorporated for some analysis. A stratified sample of the general public was also surveyed by telephone regarding a subset of the same competencies. Results. Public sector leaders perceived a shift in importance for the following competencies: cosmopolitan/world view, vision, teamwork, ability to learn, teaching skills, negotiation, interpersonal skills, ethics, entrepreneurial skills, problem solving, initiative, and stamina from 20 years ago to the 21st century; however, they rated business/technical and organizational as decreasing in importance. Public sector leaders identified globalization, technology, diversity, and downsizing as important influences on the required leadership competencies for the 21st century. Public sector leaders rated problem solving, ability to learn, initiative, teaching, ethics, and organizational skills lower than the general population. Public sector leaders rated cosmopolitan/world view as more important than did the general population. When public and private sector leaders' data were combined, public sector leaders rated significantly larger shifts in importance for vision, entrepreneurial skills, and negotiating. Public and private sector leaders ranked the top five competencies of vision, communication, teamwork, cosmopolitan/world view and ability to learn similarly.The general public identified the ability to learn as the top-ranked competency. Conclusions. The results of this study inform leadership training and development opportunities for current public sector managers as they plan for the future. This study suggests that public sector leaders perceive significant changes are needed in future leadership competencies. In considering the top five ranked future leadership competencies for the public sector leaders, vision, communication, teamwork, cosmopolitan/world view, and ability to learn, a compelling story can be told about future leadership and the emphasis on future and relational clusters of competencies for leaders.

Problem. As more and more adults seek to continue their education, alternate methods of course delivery Will be required to meet their needs. Web-based courses allow students to learn at times and places that are convenient for them. There is concern, however, about whether or not such courses can create effective, active learning experiences, and whether or not knowledge can be socially constructed in online interactions. In order for higher education to provide exemplary online courses, it is important to identify necessary elements and instructional strategies to create virtual learning environments. The goals of this study were to determine instructional practices in exemplary higher education Web based courses and their perceived effectiveness and to determine implications of new delivery models for higher education. Method. This qualitative study examined the 1998 Paul Allen Virtual Education Foundation's Outstanding Online Course Award winner and five of the six Honorable Mentions. Typical qualitative tools were used to gather data including a Web-based questionnaire, email correspondence, video recordings of conference presentations by four of the instructors, observations, interviews, course Web pages, plus articles and Web sites published by the instructors. Each course was a case study. Results. Effective practices and design features of these exemplary online courses demonstrate multiple ways to facilitate active learning in Web-based instruction. The rich environments of these six courses included a variety of interactions between the instructor and students and among the students themselves. They model how innovative pedagogy guides the use of technology and that virtual learning communities can be created in any discipline. Faculty who have administrative support will be more likely to design, develop, and deliver effective Web-based instruction. Conclusions. The study demonstrated ways online courses can be designed to meet the criteria of the American Psychological Association's Learner-Centered Psychological Principles. A number of implications for higher education emerged.
A Study of K-12 Teachers in Small School Districts : Their Levels of Stress, the Source of Stress, and the Effect of Initiating Coping Strategies

Published: May 2023

Problem. This study explored the relationship between K-12 regular education teachers in school districts with fewer than 2,500 students and their levels of stress as it related to the sources of stress, demographic variables, and initiation of coping strategies. Method. The subjects of this study were 329 K-12 teachers. They completed the Maslach Burnout Inventory, Education form, a demographic/coping mechanism form, and Stressor Source Check List. Results. (1) Classroom, building, and community issues affected teachers' attitudes toward their profession:Stress levels, as measured by the MBI, were reflected in their identification of sources of stress in the work environment. (2) A teacher's gender was related to the risk of burnout: Female teachers were less likely to experience burnout than were male teachers. (3) A teacher's marital status was related to the risk of burnout: Both divorced and widowed teachers were less likely to approach levels of burnout than married or single teachers. (4) A teacher's teaching assignment was related to the risk of burnout: Elementary teachers were less likely to experience burnout than were high-school teachers, and junior-high/middle-school teachers were more likely to experience burnout than either of the other two groups. (5) A teacher's years of experience were related to the risk of burnout: Teachers with 6-15 and 16-25 years of teaching experience were less likely to experience burnout than were teachers with 0-5 and 26-plus years of teaching experience. Conclusions. A small school district effect is suggested by the following deviation from literature citations: (1)The subjects in this study placed less significance on stressor issues related to building concerns. (2) Gender- and stress-related findings suggest an effect related to the sense of belonging associated with working in a small community. (3) A stress pattern related to years of teaching experience was found.
