Exchange rate pass-through and monetary policy in emerging markets: Mexico and South Korea as case study
Authors: Vásquez Galan Belem , Sunday Oladipo Olajide , Hernández Bielma Leticia
Published: August 2023

In the nineties, emerging markets like Mexico and South Korea experienced external shocks that depreciated their domestic currencies that eventually led to an overall inflation. The goal in this paper is to estimate long-run and short-run exchange rate pass-through (ERPT) elasticities to consumer and import prices and determine whether monetary policies have reduced the ERPT.  Two Vector Error Correction Models were estimated using monthly data from 1995 to 2018. The results show that monetary policies did reduce the ERPT on consumer and import prices in Mexico. In South Korea, the ERPT to import prices was stronger, only when we account for the 1997 financial crisis, the results show that monetary policies contributed to reduce the ERPT to both consumer and import prices.

Sobre esa base se formula una propuesta de reforma del IVA centrada en beneficios tasa 0 y exenciones. Se cuantifica el impacto y su coste fiscal, así como vías para compensar ese coste fiscal.
Relación de largo plazo entre competencia bancaria y crecimiento económico: un enfoque internacional clasificado por nivel de ingreso
Authors: Gómez Rodríguez Tomas , Ríos Bolívar Humberto , Zambrano Reyes Adriana
Published: August 2023

La competencia en el sector bancario podría jugar un papel crítico en el crecimiento económico de los países a largo plazo. Por tanto, para analizar esta relación se utilizan tres medidas diferentes de competencia: el índice de Lerner, el índice de Boone y el índice de concentración. Como variable dependiente se utilizó el Producto Interno Bruto per cápita por paridad de poder de compra. Para cada variable se utilizan tres muestras las cuales se clasifican en ingreso: alto, medio y bajo; siguiendo el trabajo de Dayé, Housa y Reding (2016). Para la estimación se emplearon los métodos de: Mínimos Cuadrados Ordinarios Completamente Modificados y el método de Mínimos Cuadrados Ordinarios Dinámicos. Los resultados indican que las muestras de alto ingreso y bajo ingreso para la variable índice de concentración bancario, así como la muestra de ingresos bajos para la variable índice de Boone muestran evidencia que apoya el enfoque de poder de mercado.

¿Desigualdad de género? Las bibliotecólogas universitarias
Authors: Licea de Arenas Judith
Published: August 2023

La desigualdad de género no es nueva en México. Los papeles tradicionales asignados a las mujeres han existido durante siglos y pese al progreso nacional, todavía persisten problemas significativos: acceso a la educación, a empleos, puestos, reconocimientos. De esta manera, la desigual presencia de mujeres y hombres son evidentes: las estadísticas escolares de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México muestran que las mujeres tienen mayor oportunidad de obtener un título de licenciatura en bibliotecología, pero no de continuar con los estudios de posgrado. ¿Por qué? Ellas no tienen las mismas oportunidades que los hombres porque posiblemente tienen que realizar otras tareas, pero más que nada porque su trabajo no es considerado visible, valorado y reconocido.
Reforma Integral de la Educación Media Superior en México: Opinión de profesores de Ciencias Sociales
Authors: Aguayo Vergara Lilia , Flores Zepeda Patricia María de los Ángeles
Published: August 2023

El propósito del estudio fue conocer la opinión de los profesores respecto a la implementación de la Reforma Integral de la Educación Media Superior (riems) realizada en México a partir de 2007, con respecto a tres aspectos: el uso del nuevo currículo (Marco Curricular Común), la evaluación del desempeño docente y la capacitación recibida.
Se trata de un estudio de alcance descriptivo. La obtención de datos fue mediante una encuesta aplicada por medios electrónicos a profesores de educación media superior de tres Centros de Bachillerato Tecnológico ubicados en el Estado de México. Los resultados mostraron que solo un reducido grupo de profesores hacen uso en el aula del Marco Curricular Común, la mayoría manifestaron inconformidad por los estímulos recibidos a partir de la evaluación que se les realizó, así como también descontento por la capacitación y formación recibida. Fue oportuno realizar este estudio, dado que a doce años de haberse implantado la riems, se desconocen los efectos causados en la actividad docente dentro y fuera del aula.

Authors: GUR KABUL Elif , BOZCUK Sinem , BAŞAKCI ÇALIK Bilge , KURU Sinem , YİĞİT Murat
Published: August 2023

Objective=The aim of this study was to examine the functional limitations of foot/ankle in terms of age in individuals with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).

Material-Method=Forty individuals diagnosed with RA were included in the study. Individuals with RA were divided into two groups (under 65 years old (n:24) and 65 years old and over (n:16)).Functional status of foot/ankle were evaluated with Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS), general health status with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and disability level with Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ). FAOS consists of five subtests: pain, other symptoms, activities of daily living, sport and recreational function, and foot/ankle related quality of life. Relationships between continuous variables were evaluated with Pearson Correlation Analysis.

Results=HAQ had low to moderate correlation with FAOS_pain (r:-0.435), FAOS_activities of daily living (r:-0.647), FAOS_sport and recreational function (r:-0.495) and FAOS_total (r:-0.582) in RA with under 65 years old while HAQ had moderate to high correlation with FAOS_other symptoms (r:-0.579), FAOS_pain (r:-0.702), FAOS_activities of daily living (r:-0.868), FAOS_sport and recreational function (r:-0.683) and FAOS_total (r:-0.806) (p<0.05) in RA with 65 years old and over. In addition, VAS had moderate correlation with FAOS_pain (r:-0.517), FAOS_activities of daily living (r:-0.590), FAOS_sport and recreational function (r:-0.550) and FAOS_total (r:-0.587) in RA with 65 years old and over (p<0.05).

Conclusion=Although functional limitations related to foot/ankle affect disability levels of RA of all ages, this effect is greater for RA aged 65 and over.In addition, functional limitations related to foot/ankle cause a worse perception of general health status of RA patients aged 65 and over.
A Study on the Determinants of Household Characteristics by Generation
Authors:   Residential Environment Institute Of Korea, Kim Hyoung-jum , Park Mun-su
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this study is to investigate the determinants based on the current household characteristics for the correct asset composition and selection according to the household characteristics of each generation. This study analyzed the determinants that reveal statistical differences according to the characteristics of each generation divided into the younger generation, the middle-aged generation, and the older generation. In the case of determinant function 1, it appeared in the form of occupation, and the household characteristics of determinant function 2 were total assets, total debt, housing (residential real estate), and non-housing (non-residential real estate). The following are particular analysis findings. First, the younger generation considerably determined the kind of occupancy with a high non-ownership rate, while the older generation significantly determined the type of occupancy with a high ownership rate. Second, in the case of large total assets, the middle-aged generation was significantly identified, and the smaller total assets were significantly identified as the older generation. Third, the middle-aged generation was significantly identified for the large total debt, and the older generation was significantly identified for the smaller total debt. Fourth, middle-aged households with high housing market value and the older generation with low housing market value was significantly distinguished; middle-aged households with large housing exclusion (non-residential real estate) and the older generation with small housing exclusion (non-residential real estate). In conclusion, it has been confirmed that there are differences in household characteristics according to generation in the housing supply policy, and appropriate government policy support and household asset management strategies are needed to avoid difficulties in the economic activities of the the older generation.
A Study on the Classification of Risk Factors in the Remodeling of Small and Medium-sized Buildings
Authors:   Residential Environment Institute Of Korea, Im Dong-Kwon , Jeong Jun-Ho , Lee Wook-Jae
Published: August 2023

In Seoul, old small and medium-sized buildings that are over 25 years old account for more than 60% of the total. So these old buildings need to be remodeled to restore building functions and improve aesthetics. Nevertheless, due to the absence of previous studies on risk factors occurring in remodeling projects, risk management is difficult during remodeling, therefore remodeling is sluggish. This study aims to contribute to revitalizing remodeling by developing risk factors for remodeling small and medium-sized buildings and analyzing and presenting the importance of each factor using the AHP technique. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the 'preparation stage' was overwhelmingly important among the four stages of the major classification. Among the 10 attributes of the medium classification, “market analysis” and “asset analysis” ranked first and second. Among the 25 factors of the minor classification, it was analyzed that it is important in the order of 'market survey error', 'MD composition failure', and 'current status map and real mismatch'. As an implication, the most carefully considered risk in the remodeling project is not only a thorough investigation of the sale price and rent information of similar buildings, but also a floor-by-floor rental composition(MD) plan optimized for the location of the target building. Because ‘MD composition’ is a plan that can maximize the rent that the target building can generate according to its location. If this plan succeeds, it will lead to an increase in building value as well as an increase in rental income, which is the most important factor both for the building owner and the developer.

Study on the Mechanism of the Diversion of Flow and Sediment in the Complex Estuarine River Network
Authors: DONG Haoyan , HE Zixiao , JIA Liangwen
Published: August 2023

The anomalous variation in the diversion of flow and sediment at the
major bifurcation nodes of the Pearl River network in recent years has
been generally recognised and accepted, yet the underlying mechanisms
have not been revealed. In this study, a large-scale two-dimensional
flow-sediment numerical model of the Pearl River estuary was constructed
using the TELEMAC-MASCARET modelling system. Additionally, synchronous
field surveys from the dry season of 2016 and wet season of 2017 were
used to validate the model. The complex branches system of the Pearl
River network was generalised. The theoretical models for calculating
the water diversion ratio of complex estuarine river networks were
proposed. The water diversion ratio at each river network node is
related to the Manning’s roughness coefficient, the average
cross-sectional water depth, the water surface slope, the length of the
branches, and the average cross-sectional area from the river network
nodes to the main estuary outlets. Specifically, the average
cross-sectional water depth is the main driver of the formation of the
water diversion ratios at the nodes in the Pearl River network. The
sediment diversion ratios at the primary and secondary lateral branching
nodes, are significantly higher than the water diversion ratios in the
dry season, which explains the uneven distribution of flow and sediment.
Sediment mining and reclamation are the main factors that have affected
the variation in flow and sediment diversion ratios in the Pearl River
network over recent decades.

This retrospective cohort study in Fujian Province aimed to investigate
the prevalence and characteristics of non-16/18 HPV infections and their
correlation with cervical lesions. Data from 101,621 patients (24,924
HPV positive) over 2012-2022 were analyzed. HPV genotypes, age-specific
rates, and cervical pathology were assessed in 11,666 patients
undergoing pathological exams. The results revealed that non-16/18 HPV
infections, particularly HPV 52, 58, 53, 51, and 81 (with prevalence
rates of 5.6%, 2.6%, 2.4%, 2.3%, and 2.2%, respectively), were
widespread in the region. The main infection type was single infection
rather than complex infection. The age distribution of subgroups with
non-16/18 HPV infections shows variations over time, with different peak
infection rates across the years. The highest prevalence of non-16/18
HPV infections was observed in patients with low-grade squamous
intraepithelial lesions (LSIL). Conversely, HPV16/18 infections were
more likely to cause high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL)
and cervical cancer. Although the 9-valent HPV vaccine was found to
provide broad protection against HPV infections, it did not cover
certain non-16/18 HPV types, such as HPV53, HPV51, and HPV81, which
remained prevalent. This study aids in optimizing cervical lesion
detection and enhancing cervical cancer risk management for non-16/18
HPV infections in Fujian.

Constituent Input on Regulatory Initiatives: A Machine-Learning Approach to Efficiently and Effectively Analyze Unstructured Data
Authors: Ferguson Daniel P. , Harris M. Kathleen , Williams L. Tyler
Published: August 2023

Determining whether constituent opinion agrees or disagrees with proposed regulation is crucial to improving our understanding of standard-setting practices. However, the constituent feedback mechanisms provided by regulators to constituents results in large-scale unstructured datasets—thus establishing an obstacle in examining differences of opinion between parties. Utilizing publicly available documents of the FASB, this study trains machine-learning models to efficiently and effectively categorize the level of agreement and disagreement on proposed regulation between the regulator and its constituent base. We employ three different approaches—a lexicon-based approach using the dictionary method and two participant-based approaches leveraging human raters (AMT and AS). We find that the machine-learning models demonstrate more accuracy in correctly classifying observations as compared to human raters. Further, the analysis indicates that the machine-learning models using the participant-based approach and the lexicon-based approach achieve similar accuracy in predicting constituent agreement and disagreement with proposed regulation.

The Effects of Whistleblower Program Financial Incentives and Administration on Financial Managers’ Reporting Judgments
Authors: Gaydon Daniel J. , Boyle Douglas M.
Published: August 2023

The accounting whistleblower literature has expanded with the passage of antifraud regulations such as the Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank Acts. Prior studies focus primarily on the detection of the perceived wrongdoing through whistleblower intentions rather than prevention through the potential whistleblower targets (e.g., financial managers). We study the effects of whistleblower program financial incentives (i.e., incentives or no incentives) and whistleblower program administration (i.e., internally or externally) on financial managers’ reporting judgments. A sample of 91 experienced financial managers provided their likelihood to recognize goodwill impairment in an experiment where whistleblower program incentives and administration were manipulated randomly between subjects. Results indicate that financial managers make more conservative judgments when the whistleblower program includes financial incentives. We find a significant interaction where financial managers are most likely to recognize impairment when incentives exist and the program is administered internally. Supplemental analysis indicates that nonprofit managers act less conservatively than other industries.
The More, the Merrier? The Behavioral Effects of a Firm’s CSR Mission and Monetary CSR Incentives on Employee CSR Engagement
Authors: Spallek Franziska , Bastini Karola , Lachmann Maik
Published: August 2023

We experimentally investigate the combined effects of CSR-related informal (i.e., CSR mission) and formal control elements (i.e., provision of monetary CSR incentives) on employee CSR engagement, considering employees’ CSR norms. We predict that a substantive rather than a symbolic CSR mission positively impacts the CSR engagement of employees who attach high importance to CSR and expect monetary CSR incentives to be effective under a symbolic CSR mission, and if employees attach low importance to CSR. The findings show that a substantive relative to a symbolic CSR mission increases the CSR engagement of employees who attach high importance to CSR. Under a symbolic CSR mission, employees increase their CSR engagement when monetary CSR incentives are provided, while under a substantive CSR mission, monetary CSR incentives are only effective for participants who attach low importance to CSR. The results support firms in designing suitable and effective CSR-related management control systems.

Interacting effects of latitudinal and elevational gradients on the distribution of Iberian inland fish
Authors: Cano-Barbacil Carlos , Radinger Johannes , García-Berthou García-Berthou
Published: August 2023

Unraveling the effects of latitudinal and elevational gradients on species distribution has been a central topic in biogeography for decades. However, few studies have evaluated the effects of the interaction between both gradients on species distributions. The main goal of this study was to evaluate the interaction of latitude and elevation in a freshwater context using a regional dataset of Iberian inland fish species. For this purpose, we compiled occurrence data for the 15 most widespread (i.e., present in multiple basins) Iberian fishes. We used generalized linear models including elevation, latitude, their quadratic terms, the interaction between the two gradients, and the basin as sources of variation. Results revealed contrasting species-specific distribution patterns with differing importance of the elevation and latitudinal gradients. Latitude was particularly important in explaining the distribution patterns of Salmo trutta, while the distribution of diadromous species and invasive Gambusia holbrooki or Lepomis gibbosus was mainly mediated by elevation. We detected significant interaction between elevation and latitude for 11 out of the 15 studied species. Consequently, Iberian fish species occupy different elevational niche positions depending on latitude. For example, Salmo trutta and Oncorhynchus mykiss occupy intermediate and even lower reaches in the northernmost areas. However, their occurrence probability decreases at lower latitudes, despite they can occur in elevated areas in these regions (e.g., Baetic Mountains). Finally, we discuss the potential effects of climate change on distribution patterns of the Iberian fish species studied.
Potential and peculiarities of structural-level organization of professional pedagogical thinking

Published: August 2023

Актуальность работы обусловлена тем, что рассмотрение профессионального мышления как ресурса требует расширения представлений о нем как о метасистеме, включающей в себя когнитивный, метакогнитивный, личностный и ресурсно-поведенческий компоненты. Представлены данные исследования профессионального мышления педагогов дошкольных образовательных организаций (n = 70) с опорой на метасистемный подход. Определены особенности структурно-уровневой организации профессионального мышления педагогов на системном уровне. Выделены сходства и отличия в профессиональном мышлении в зависимости от территориальной расположенности дошкольных образовательных организаций. Установлено, что существует частичная связь между компонентами-субсистемами профессионального педагогического мышления. Предложено новое для психолого-педагогической науки понимание ресурсности профессионального мышления. Полученные результаты могут быть использованы в области дошкольного образования в направлении достижения показателей качества образовательной деятельности.

The currency of the survey is occasioned by the fact that consideration of the professional thinking as a resource, demands widening of apprehension of it as a metasystem, which includes cognitive, metacognitive, personal and resourceful and behavioral components. The data of the research of professional thinking of preschool teachers (n = 70), supported by a metasystem approach, has been presented in the article. The peculiarities of structural-level organization of pedagogical professional thinking on a systemic level have been defined: it has been concluded that teachers, who work with preschool children, represent all the levels of professional thinking, simultaneously they more often make situational decisions with suprasituational direction (in 1/3 of cases) and exactly this level has been characterized as more organized structurally compared to others. The similarities and differences of professional thinking depending on specialization and location of a preschool educational establishment have been evolved (partially in the qualities of suprasituational thinking and metacognitive characteristics). It has been established that there is a partial connection between components-subsystems of professional pedagogical thinking: the suprasituational level of thinking is related to self-actualization, self-management and self-interest involve behavioral flexibility and creative solutions of problem situations, self-confidence is positively combined with metacognitive characteristics and comprehensiveness of analysis of a problem situation. The conception of potential of professional thinking, new for psychological and pedagogical science, has been suggested. The results obtained can be used in preschool education towards achieving performance indicators of educational activities.

Published: August 2023

This research is motivated by the presence of students who have single parent parents, tend to experience difficulties in learning and social relations, and show alienating behavior. This study aims to: (1) describe the self awareness of students who have single parent parents, (2) describe the adjustment of students who have single parent parents, and (3) examine the significance of the relationship between self awareness and self adjustment of students who have single parent parents. This research uses a quantitative approach with a descriptive research type. The population of this study were students with single parents at SMAN 1 Pasaman. The instruments used were the self-awareness questionnaire and the self-adjustment questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques and Pearson Product Moment techniques to determine the relationship between self awareness and self-adjustment through the SPSS 25 statistical program. The results of the study revealed that most (62.3%) students who came from single parents had a low level of self-awareness. Furthermore, most (58.4%) students with single parents also have a low level of adjustment. There is a significant positive relationship between self-awareness and self-adjustment of students who have single parents of 0.986 with a significance level of 99%. Thus it means that the lower the level of self-awareness, the lower the self-adjustment of students will be and vice versa. Based on the research findings, guidance efforts are needed by school counselors to increase the self-awareness of students from single parents in order to improve their adjustment to learning at school. Guidance and counseling services can be carried out through information services, orientation and group guidance services.

Early marriage is a marriage carried out by teenagers aged 15 to 20 years, and there is no readiness to marry. Satisfaction in marriage is very important, because the fulfillment of household relations will be more harmonious. This study aims to determine marital satisfaction in early age couples. This research is a qualitative research using a case study approach. The subjects in this study were 5 couples who married at an early age, 3 of them married because of their own desires and 2 couples married because they were pregnant out of wedlock, as well as 5 informants. The instruments in this study were interview guides and documentation, while the analysis of the data that had been obtained from the interviews was then used as a transcript, and given a theme as a result of the findings and after that, the data was interpreted. The results showed that marital satisfaction was only found in sexual satisfaction, whereas in the communication aspect one group of subjects was found to be satisfied, because communication in the household of subject group 1 went well and understood each other, while in the aspect of joint activities, religion, problem solving and financial satisfaction were not found. Marital satisfaction is very important in a husband and wife relationship in order to create a harmonious relationship and early marriage does not guarantee marital satisfaction and happiness, so it is suggested that couples who want to get married should reconsider, so that unwanted households do not occur.

Published: August 2023

Background: The Human Resource in Health (HRH) crisis is one of the most critical constraints to achieving health and development goals. In this study, the WHO's recommendations were used to highlight the health workforce issues in remote and rural areas with a prime focus on four major policy domains: education, regulatory, financial incentives, and professional and personal support.
Objectives: Medical doctors are one of the essential frontline health workers for primary health care in rural India. This study adopted World Health Organization's (WHO's) human resource policy framework to evaluate doctors' responses in understanding the recruitment and retention of medical doctors in rural areas.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted in the rural and remote areas of Odisha state, India. A multistage sampling procedure was used to select the participants, who were all government medical doctors working in rural and remote locations. The primary outcome measure is percentage responses using WHO’s Human Resource policy framework
Results: Medical doctors working in rural and remote areas perceived the practice as challenging. They were mainly least satisfied with the items asked in the professional and personal support domain. However, more than half of the doctors (56.7%) are eager to work in remote and rural areas for the next three years.
Conclusion: Public health administrators and policymakers should create an enabling environment and design interventions encouraging doctors to stay in remote areas. Most importantly, this includes a political and financial commitment to achieve targeted interventions.
Private Equity Investment in Private For-Profit Healthcare in Australia and New Zealand: A scoping review
Authors: McInerney Moira , Hinchcliff Reece , Fitzgerald Gerard , King Robyn
Published: August 2023

Objectives: Private Equity (PE) involvement in healthcare has been evident in the United States (US) for some time, with questionable benefits reported. There are significant differences in funding, health insurance and regulation in the US, when compared to Australia and New Zealand (NZ), so it is not clear whether existing US research can be generalised to these settings. This study aims to examine published information regarding PE involvement in the private-for-profit (PFP) healthcare sector in Australia and NZ, including evidence of PE shareholdings and its impacts.
Design: This scoping review considers academic and grey literature, including academic research and commentary papers, media reports, corporate reports, PFP healthcare websites and government submissions.
Main Outcome & Results: Thirty three relevant sources were identified, but no specific information on the impacts of PE investment were discovered. The academic papers highlight an ongoing debate (but limited research evidence) about PFP healthcare, including the quality of clinical care, practice consolidation and a downward trend on clinician ownership. The grey literature offered more information on PE investment and growth of the PFP sector, but limited detail about shareholdings.
Conclusion: With little research on PE investment in Australia and NZ, it is difficult to know if continued PE growth will have a positive or negative affect on operational performance and outcomes, such as clinician engagement and clinical care. The authors conclude that there is a shifting landscape of PFP healthcare in Australia and NZ, to less clinician and greater PE ownership. Given the reports of negative impacts of PE involvement in the US, these trends pose significant immediate and long-term implications. This paper sets the agenda for further research to explore the organisational and system-level impacts of PE growth in Australia and NZ.
Developing and Evaluating An Automated Bed Assignment Algorithm in A Tertiary Hospital: A case study in Singapore
Authors: Oh Hong Choon , Ng Stephanie Ching-Hui , Zeng Zef Zhenhao
Published: August 2023

Objectives: The primary aim of this quality improvement project was to develop, implement and evaluate an automated bed assignment algorithm (ABAA) which can offer objective and consistent bed assignment recommendations that comply with the unique operational constraints and prioritization rules of a tertiary hospital in Singapore.
Methods: Using the classical process improvement framework of Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA), the quality circle workgroup first developed and tested the ABAA prototype to confirm its feasibility and reliability to meet all hospital operational constraints and prioritization rules. PDSA framework was then also employed in the user interface design and integration of ABAA into existing system setup. The staff satisfaction level of the ABAA was subsequently assessed via an anonymized online survey.
Results: In the prototype development phase, the workgroup was able to conclude after nine rounds of review meetings that the ABAA prototype was able to perform bed assignments like hospital staff using data in 64 operational scenarios. Among the 10 eligible staff who completed the online survey, up to 90% of them reported that ABAA was able to generate bed assignment recommendations which met the hospital operational requirements. 90% of these staff also reported that ABAA was easy to use and navigate, while all respondents reported using ABAA before attempting to assign beds manually. 80% of staff felt ABAA was able to reduce human error, while 50% of staff felt ABAA had reduced their time taken for bed assignments by 30 minutes to 2 hours per shift.
Conclusions: Evidently, the user-centric design of ABAA has enabled its high adoption and acceptance rate among staff. Overall, it has allowed the staff to make faster, consistent and objective bed assignment decisions which complied with hospital operational constraints and prioritization rules so that newly admitted patients received the most appropriate care at their point of admission.
Leadership at the Intersection of Healthcare and Constructive Developmental Theory: A scoping review
Authors: Richards-Green Shannon , Gough Suzanne , Mickan Sharon
Published: August 2023

Objective: The purpose of this scoping review was to examine the nature and extent of the evidence for the use of a stage theory of adult development, Constructive Developmental Theory (CDT) within healthcare leadership.
Design: A systematic methodology was employed, utilising inclusion and exclusion criteria and searching across seven databases.
Main Outcome Measures: Summary of literature in response to three key questions.
Results: A Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses – Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) flow diagram illustrates the study selection process with 154 records screened, 35 full-text articles assessed for eligibility and 7 studies included in the final analysis. Three themes emerged from the data: (1) healthcare as a complex system, (2) complexity of leadership in healthcare, (3) developmental leadership progression in healthcare.
Conclusions: This review highlighted that CDT could provide a roadmap for individual change and adult developmental growth, thereby supporting the opportunity for more complex thinking and perspective taking within healthcare leadership. For the healthcare leader, the benefit of an awareness, understanding and application of CDT, is the potential for an increased capacity for recognising and dealing with complex challenges both personally and professionally.

Globally, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have affected the cultural sector the most by restricting, suspending, and cancelling events in physical spaces. In Romania, the occurrence of the first COVID-19 infected case and the gradual restriction of the public to events until their complete stop during emergency and alert periods led to the reorientation of cultural spaces to online audiences through social media. The present study focuses on the evolution of online events organized by the independent cultural and creative industry during the emergency state of the pandemic crisis (February 27 – May 14, 2020). The types of spaces and the perception of cultural professionals were considered in the analysis, at the city level. The independent creative communities of two of the most effervescent cultural cities in Romania (Timişoara and Cluj-Napoca) readjusted their cultural activity, by organizing online events. A mixed method of analysis was used, in which two methods of data collection were employed: some 205 events recorded on different social media pages (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram) were collected and in-depth interviews with relevant representatives of the independent cultural and creative industry were conducted. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the qualitative data. Results showed an openness of artists to the virtual environment and a relocation of events from the physical to the online environment, a readjustment of events for the virtual audience through creativity.
