The Parts and Parcel: A Collegiality Model for Teacher Disciplinary Professional Learning Communities
Authors: Merzel Avraham , Bismuth Stephanie , Arica Zvi
Published: September 2023

While teachers' Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) have been extensively studied, discipline-specific PLCs (DPLCs) have received less attention. In particular, the importance of subject matter and its connection to other community dimensions is underrepresented in current PLC research. To explore this, we conducted two independent studies focusing on DPLCs. Study 1 examined physics teacher DPLCs, using participant observations and an analysis of teachers’ community characteristics based on a literature review. Study 2 focused on science and technology teacher DPLCs, employing interviews and passive observation, which were analyzed through content analysis. Remarkably, both studies produced strikingly similar findings, which we synthesized into a comprehensive model encompassing five dimensions: the structural dimension, reflecting the tangible and logical organization of the community; the content dimension, emphasizing the discipline-specific focus of the DPLC; the common production dimension, showcasing the joint enterprise activities and products of the DPLC; the social-affective dimension, addressing the social, emotional, and value-based aspects that establish a sense of community; and the meta-community dimension, exploring the relationships between the DPLC and its broader environment. Each dimension operates in two directions: inward—the effect of the community on the individual, and outward—the effect of the individual teacher on the community. We discuss how the interactions between these dimensions shape the character of DPLCs and influence teacher development. Additionally, we highlight the significance of this unified model for DPLC leaders, researchers, and policymakers in teacher development.

Objetivo: Abordar a relação direta entre o diagnóstico tardio da apendicite e suas respectivas complicações. Aspectos metodológicos: O presente estudo se trata de uma revisão integrativa da literatura. Para elaborar o corpus da pesquisa, utilizaremos consultas às bases de dados científicos na internet: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), MEDLINE e LILACS. Serão utilizados os Descritores em Ciências da Saúde: Abdome Agudo; Apendicite; Diagnóstico Tardio. Para estruturar a amostra, foram utilizados como critérios de inclusão: artigos disponíveis na íntegra sob libre distribuição; artigos nacionais e internacionais, com publicações nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol, bem como manuais e cartilhas publicados pelo Ministério da Saúde, sendo o período de publicação da literatura de 2012 e 2022. Excluíram-se: artigos que não atendiam a temática de acordo com a leitura dos seus respectivos resumos; artigos com resumo não disponíveis; publicações que se repetem nas bases de dados; teses, monografias, revisões de literatura e trabalhos de conclusão de curso. Foram selecionados oito artigos para a construção dos resultados da pesquisa. Resultados e discussões: Acerca do diagnóstico tardio da apendicite aguda, salienta-se que é mais provável de acontecer no paciente com apresentação clínica atípica, isto é, com menor nível de dor na fossa ilíaca direita, ou mesmo pelo exame físico incompleto, sobretudo em casos tratados com analgesia de forma exclusiva. Correlaciona-se o diagnóstico tardio da apendicite aguda com uma fase mais avançada da doença, culminando na maior morbidade, destacando-se a importância da avaliação clínica precoce, bem como o maior detalhamento do exame físico, amenizando as possibilidades de lacunas diagnósticas. Conclusão: Portanto, o diagnóstico precoce, nesse sentido, representa a mais importante conduta em termos de evolução para os pacientes, evitando a realização de procedimentos cirúrgicos desnecessários ou mesmo o tratamento tardio de condições urgentes. Métodos diagnósticos e a competência dos médicos corroboram para evitar o desenvolvimento de agravos.

Published: September 2023

We have studied scintillation properties of Eu3+-doped Gd3Al2Ga3O12 single crystals. Gd3Al2Ga3O12 single crystals with different concentrations of Eu3+ (0.5%, 1.0%, 5.0%, 10.0%, and 15.0%) were grown using the floating-zone method. In photoluminescence (PL) and scintillation properties, the Eu-doped Gd3Al2Ga3O12 single crystals showed emission peaks and several millisecond decay times due to 4f–4f transitions of Eu3+ ions. Pulse height spectra of all the samples were investigated under γ-ray irradiation from 137Cs (662 keV). The 0.5%, 1.0%, 5.0%, and 10.0% Eu-doped samples showed full energy peaks. Among all the samples, the 5.0% Eu-doped Gd3Al2Ga3O12 single crystal showed the highest light yield of 36 000 photons MeV−1.

Over the recent years, competition in the Kenyan banking industry has increased, resulting to various banks adapting key practices to increase their competitive advantage. Hence, this research focused on the competitive advantage practices and performance of commercial banks, in Nairobi County Kenya; a case of Equity Bank, Kenya Commercial Bank, Absa and Family Bank. Over the recent past, the performance of commercial banks has been influenced by different factors such as liquidity, capital inadequacy and the efficiency of operational costs. The study’s objective was; to find out how differentiation strategy, innovation, focus strategy and cost leadership. Some of the theories applied include porters five forces, resource-based view, stakeholder, and balanced scorecard model. The research applied a case study method, with detailed questionnaires which examines the respondents on practices used by Commercial banks in Nairobi County. Also, it examined on how such practices enhance performance in the county. The summary of the regression model correlation coefficient explains the interdependence between the independent variables, differentiation, focus strategy, cost leadership, innovation and the dependent variable, which is performance. Key respondents of this study were employees and customers of the sampled Commercial banks in Nairobi County, with a focus of Branch managers, regional managers and departmental managers. Data was collected using questionnaires, with open ended questions. Reliability test was undertaken, and analysis done through multiple regression and inferential statistics. The expected outcome is that the four main practices would become useful to Equity Bank management, future researchers, and the government. The study concluded that commercial banks use differentiation strategy to provide customers with something unique, different and distinct from items their competitors may offer in the marketplace. Innovation plays a key role in introducing novelty to existing product lines or processes, leading to increased market share, revenue, and customer satisfaction. Focus strategy identifies the market segments where the bank can compete effectively. Implementing Cost Leadership Strategy creates a different market size for each product and each industry. The study recommended that the commercial banks need to produce or design extremely unique or distinctive products or services that create increased value for the consumer. Commercial banks should ensure that they truly understand their customers’ needs; establish collaborative relationships with their business partners, allocate resources for training and development etc. The commercial banks should use customer satisfaction ratings from past months what led to high scores, and what could use improvement to develop a proper focus strategy and also consider the demographics of their current clientele.

Abstract

This study intends to shed some light on why Iraq has been in the news

quite a bit, and why it has come to play the role it has in world affairs of

the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. It concerns Iraq

yesterday and today.

Introduction

The paper makes one simple assumption: the notion that all human life on

this planet – Muslim and non-Muslim, female and male, civilian and

military, poor or rich, ‘North’ or ‘South’, white or black– carries exactly

the same intrinsic worth. This essential value of human life is due to the

presence of the Divine spirit in all of humanity, the same spirit that,

according to the Qur’an, God breathed into each and every human being

[Qur’an 15:29 and 38:72]. From this premise of the worth and dignity of

each and every human life and the right of each community to realize

their vision of prosperity, dignity and righteousness, as long as that vision

does not come at the expense of any other community, the researcher

intends to begin this study.

 

The paper is divided into two parts, the first concerns Iraq before the

war of 2003 – referred to in this study as Iraq yesterday; the second part

tackles a number of current issues and attempts to find answers for some

controversial questions including: What are the causes and consequences

of the US war on Iraq and the occupation of this country? Is it invasion or

liberation? Is it true that post-war excuses for invasion and occupation are

to make Iraq a western-style democracy and to spread Western values or

is the US actually putting on a terrifying show for the whole world to see

and yield? And eventually where is the value of human life?

Published: September 2023

Significant changes in external factors and increased competition between market participants require enterprises to use new approaches to increase the efficiency of realizing their capabilities and resources. Under such conditions, forming an effective strategy plays a vital role in enterprise management, as it ensures stable development and allows one to assess one's competitive advantages in the market. Stages of forming the strategy for ensuring the financial security of enterprises are proposed. It is outlined that the process of creating the plan for ensuring the financial security of the enterprise includes the following: such components as diagnostics and forecasting of the financial protection of the enterprise; strategic and tactical planning; selection of adequate financial instruments (within investment decisions made); financial risk management; tax planning; organizational and legal registration and further control of financial flows. The system of choosing the strategy for ensuring the financial security of the enterprise was built based on the use of the analysis method of hierarchies. This made it possible to determine the strategic, and operational goals of the enterprise's development, to analyze in detail the available resources, the functional interaction of these resources, and the directions of the enterprise's development. This approach defines management goals and priorities along with tasks to ensure the necessary level of enterprise development. The process of involving independent experts for the selection of assessment for ensuring the financial security of the enterprise will allow to track the trends in the implementation of specific initiatives clearly and to direct efforts towards their achievement. The scientific novelty of the obtained results is as follows: the decision-making process regarding the selection of the strategy for ensuring the financial security of the enterprise has been improved due to the analysis of the intensity of the influence of system elements on the indicators of the financial protection of the enterprise. The expected results of the chosen strategy should be an increase in the company's income, the number of jobs, revenues to local budgets, and the development of infrastructure in the region.
Keywords: enterprise, financial security, strategy, provision, MAI, hierarchical model.
The main patterns of economic development in conditions of global instability
Authors: Zavgorodniy Konstantin
Published: September 2023

With global instability and constant changes on the world stage, forming national economic activity becomes a critical task for every country. Favorable economic environment and fair opportunities for all citizens are the basis of stable development and inclusive growth. Embarking on this path, the country faces numerous challenges, such as the changing geopolitical situation, economic turbulence, social inequalities, and other factors that affect its economy. The purpose of the article is to research the main patterns of economic development in conditions of global instability. Modeling patterns of changes in GDP indicators using trend equations is based on statistical methods for analysis and forecasting of economic processes. The results of the calculations showed that in forecast estimates of nominal GDP, for forecast estimates of real GDP in conditions of global instability and war in Ukraine, the value of forecast estimate I can be considered unrealistic, forecast estimate II corresponds to the period of post-war recovery, and forecast estimate III characterizes the possible estimated value of real GDP of Ukraine after the completion of reconstruction processes and corresponds to the beginning of the next cycle of economic growth. In other words, it is possible to claim that as soon as the real GDP of Ukraine reaches the level of the forecast estimate III (5298029 million UAH), it is possible to consider that we have returned to the previously formed patterns of changes in GDP and economic growth. It is proven that price indices become even more important in the conditions of global challenges, such as economic instability and world crises. This is because they can help forecast market trends and make important decisions regarding the economy's development and the state's fiscal policy. In particular, the consumer price index can influence the state's monetary policy, and the producer price index can indicate the state of production and exports in the country. Important indicators reflecting the level of inflation in the country and the state of the economy are indices of consumer prices and manufacturers of industrial products. They play an essential role in the system of inclusive development because inflation can affect the population's standard of living and income distribution. Moreover, the index of consumer prices and prices of producers of industrial products can indicate the general economic situation in the country and the world, as well as the level of inflation.
