Analysis of key competences in vocational education
Authors: Stryukov Vasyl , Hromtseva Olena
Published: November 2019

Modern vocational education is considered as a mechanism for managing the development of a competitive personality, its individual capabilities, socio-cultural, socio-moral and professional qualities and abilities that the future specialist needs to advance to be professional. The purpose of the article is to review the key competencies which pursued in vocational educational institution students. The study used a set of methods: study and analysis of literary sources on the problem of research, analysis, generalization and systematization of theoretical data. The article summarizes the content of such concepts as «competence», «competency», «competence approach», «professional competence» and «professionalism». The peculiarities of forming and comparing the components of professional competence of future specialists of different specialties (teachers, managers) are analyzed. In the process of theoretical data of groups of skills, knowledge and individual competences systematization there are four types of professional competence – special, social, personal and individual, while the components of professional competence have a similar structure, but differ significantly. This is due to the fact that certain activities include different components. The way of formation of professional competence in students from choice of specialty and educational institution to professional skill is analyzed. The results of the study helped to clarify the essence of professional competence, which is an integrated concept that combines the most important professional competencies. The choice of a profession and the formation of professional abilities are only truly successful when they are connected with the social and moral choice of a young person, which is reflected in the text of the article. A deep reform of the national education system is underway in Ukraine and there is a constant modernization of technological production processes. Against this background, it is advisable to focus further research on the continuous updating and improvement of the components of professional competence. Formation of the list of professional competences is a prerequisite for the training of specialists at the present stage. Prospects for further scientific research of the authors are to find and update the economic and organizational mechanisms of competence management in vocational education.

Authors: Han Ji Yoon , Lee In Goo
Published: November 2019

Developments in next-generation sequencing (NGS) techogies have assisted in clarifying the diagnosis and treatment of developmental delay/intellectual disability (DD/ID) via molecular genetic testing. Advances in DNA sequencing technology have not only allowed the evolution of targeted panels but also, and more currently enabled genome-wide analyses to progress from research era to clinical practice. Broad acceptance of accuracy- guided targeted gene panel, whole-exome sequencing (WES), and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) for DD/ID need prospective analyses of the increasing cost-effectiveness versus conventional genetic testing. Choosing the appropriate sequencing method requires individual planning. Data are required to guide best-practice recommendations for genomic testing, regarding various clinical phenotypes in an etiologic approach. Targeted panel testing may be recommended as a first-tier testing approach for children with DD/ID. Family-based trio testing by WES/WGS can be used as a second test for DD/ ID in undiagnosed children who previously tested negative on a targeted panel. The role of NGS in molecular diagnostics, treatment, prediction of prognosis will continue to increase further in the coming years. Given the rapid pace of changes in the past 10 years, all medical providers should be aware of the changes in the transformative genetics field.

Published: November 2019

This study examined perceptions of honor students (N = 30) studying at a college of education in Israel regarding the contribution of a course using project-based learning (PjBL) to their competencies and preparing them to pay it forward. The course aims were to expose students to PjBL in the topic of diversity, plan and carry out community involvement projects, and gain insights for future application. Student were asked to evaluate the course objectives. Research tools comprised a diary and a semi-structured interview. Analysis using grounded theory yielded three categories of student development: cognitive, personal-leadership, and pedagogical competencies. Findings indicate that honors students have acquired cognitive competencies related to knowledge about multiculturalism and children’s rights, as well as problem-solving skills. They have developed personal and leadership competencies such as group management and decision-making, as well as pedagogical competencies gaining a deeper understanding of PjBL and how to apply it. Findings may suggest that honors students have benefited from the combination of ideas on living together using PjBL and preparation for paying it forward. Implications for general teacher education are discussed.

Authors: Verdian Arry , Wantoro Agus
Published: November 2019

Wakil Kepala Sekolah yang memiliki kapabilitas dan profesional yang tinggi sangat ditentukan oleh berbagai faktor, diantaranya faktor akademis, kepribadian, pengalaman, kreatifitas, inovatif dan kecenderungan untuk selalu mencapai prestasi secara maksimal dengan dukungan dari berbagai unsur di lingkungan belajar itu sendiri. Penilaian kepada calon wakil kepala sekolah dilakukan oleh guru dan staff dengan cara voting. Menggunakan cara seperti ini dirasa kurang tepat karna guru dan staff hanya melakukan pemilihan tanpa melakukan pehitungan. Pada periode berikutnya pihak sekolah mengganti cara voting dengan melakukan pengujian dan penilaian oleh panitia kepada calon wakil kepala sekolah. Hasil pengujian selanjutnya akan dihitung menggunakan metode perkalian bobot kepentingan dari setiap kriteria. Hasil perhitungan dari metode perkalian bobot inilah yang akan dibandingkan dengan perhitungan menggunakan metode Profile Matching dan Fuzzy Profile Matching. Hasil perhitungan menggunakan metode Profile Matching akan dibandingkan (comparation) dengan metode Fuzzy Profile Matching dengan data center dari hasil perhitungan standar dengan perkalian bobot dan nilai kriteria. Perbandingan ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui apakah penerapan Logika Fuzzy pada metode Profile Matching mampu memberikan nilai kedekatan yang lebih baik dari metode Profile Matching standar. Hasil perangkingan menunjukan hasil yang sama antara perhitungan terbobot dengan Fuzzy-Profile Matching, sehingga penerapan Logika Fuzzy pada metode Profile Matching mampu memberikan tingkat akurasi yang lebih baik, sehingga dapat diterapkan oleh pihak sekolah dalam menentukan wakil kepala sekolah.

Perkembangan teknologi informasi yang semakin pesat, menuntut suatu perusahaan atau instansi untuk mengedepankan layanan informasi yang lebih cepat dan lebih efisien. Akan tetapi, perusahaan UD.Sidiq yang merupakan sebuah usaha dagang yang bergerak di bidang mebel masih menggunakan media offline seperti brosur dan katalog untuk mempromosikan produknya. Hal ini tentu dianggap kurang efektif dalam meningkatkan omset penjualan, karena ruang lingkup penyebaran informasi yang terbatas. Oleh sebab itu di rancanglah sebuah Website E-Mebel dengan penerapan teknologi WebGL agar dapat menampilkan adegan 3D pada web-browser. Web Graphics Library (WebGL) adalah sebuah API JavaScript untuk merender grafis interaktif 3D pada web browser tanpa menggunakan plugin tambahan. WebGl memiliki konten canvas dari sebuah elemen HTML yang berfungsi untuk melakukan pemanggilan data dalam bentuk objek 3D. Perancangan sistem ini menggunakan Metode Uml-Based Web Engineering (UWE). Metode UWE merupakan metode perancangan sistem yang menggunakan diagram UML untuk menggambarkan aspek-aspek yang di rancang secara terstuktur. Metode ini terdiri dari beberapa tahapan, yaitu : aspect, views, dan fase. Dengan penerapan WebGL ini, sistem yang dihasilkan akan memberikan kemudahan bagi customer dalam melakukan pemesanan produk secara online. Customer juga akan dapat melihat produk yang ditawarkan dari berbagai sudut pandang karena objek yang di tampilkan dapat di navigasi sesuai dengan keinginan customer. Hal ini tentunya menjadi nilai tambah untuk dapat menarik minat customer, karena saat ini masih banyak webiste developer yang membangun sistem dengan tampilan yang berorientasi pada objek 2D

Published: November 2019

A study was undertaken to determine the macroinvertebrates pollution tolerance index (PTI) in Calabar River, Cross River state, Nigeria. Five sampling stations were chosen along the river course: Ikot Okon Abasi, Tinapa, Unicem, Marina resort and Nsidung beach which were labeled stations 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Physico-chemical parameters; surface water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total dissolved solids (TDS) and total suspended solids (TSS) were measured using their respective meters while macroinvertebrates were sampled using a Van Veen grab, stained with Rose Bengal solution and identified under microscope. Macroinvertebrates pollution tolerance index was obtained using online software designed by Northern Kentucky Univeristy and Leaf Pack Network Biotic and Water Quality Calculator. The results obtained for physicochemical parameters showed the highest temperature as 29.90C in station five while the lowest was 26.40C in station one. pH was highest (6.60) in station five and lowest (5.52) in station one. DO was highest (4.4mg/L) in station four and lowest (3.0 mg/L) in station five while BOD was highest (3.2 mg/L) in station three and lowest (0.3 mg/L) in station one. An average total of 5366 macroinvertebrate individuals were encountered belonging to nine families and eleven species. Tubificidae had the lowest occurrence with 18 individuals which made up 0.3% of the total macroinvertebrates while Penaeidae had the highest occurrence with 2,455 individuals constituting 45.8% of the total count. Pollution tolerance index was highest (21) in station five and lowest (9) in station four with the water quality being generally poor. Hence, it is suggested that anthropogenic activities should be regulated and continuous monitoring of the river course should be carried out.

Is induced abortion becoming a family planning method in Ghana?: A situational analysis of induce abortion and contraception uptake in two urban cities of Ghana
Authors: Gbagbo Fred Yao , Gbagbo Josephine Akosua
Published: November 2019

Background: Following amendment of Ghanaian abortion law in 1985, abortion services became more available as permitted by law. Services data however remain scares due to provider and facility stigmatization.

Objective: To explore the use of abortion as a family planning option using provider reports, trends of contraception and induced abortion service uptake in facilities within two urban cities in Ghana.

Methods: Cross-sectional, descriptive design, using facility data from 50 private (42) and Non-Governmental Organizations (8). Ten in-depth interviews were also held with midwife providers (6) and medical officers (4) between January 2010 and December 2017 in Accra and Kumasi Metropolises.

Results: Facility patronage of abortion services in Accra and Kumasi Metropolises increase steadily each year with contraception uptake. Abortion services in NGO facilities were however reported as target driven and providers’ performances/bonuses were tied to meeting set targets thereby encouraging abortion on demand. Whereas NGO facilities provide both abortion and full contraception method mix, majority (38 out of 42) of private facilities provide only abortion services. Those providing contraception focus mainly on short term methods (pills and injections) due to lack of interest and/or trained providers. There are more midwife lead abortion providing facilities in Accra (40) than in Kumasi (10). Where midwives provided abortion services, contraceptives were readily available and clients encouraged to take a method following abortion. This practice was very common in NGO facilities as post abortion contraception was reported to be a mandatory package.

Conclusions: The Ghanaian abortion law allows conditional abortion and not on demand. However, increasing numbers of abortions in the study area coupled with reported target setting for abortion services suggest abortion on demand and its being used as a family planning option. A nationwide facility based assessment of abortion and contraception service delivery is recommended to inform policy.

Authors: Aborbie Solomon , Anthony Peter , Masocha Elliot
Published: November 2019

Financial investors remain exposed to investment, financial, and accounting fraud as well as loss of profitability, despite the dictates of the SOX Act of 2002. The most challenging aspect of corporate management is the unexpected nature of an emerging, existing, or an inherent investment or financial risk. Guided by the evolution of fraud theory, this exploratory case study’s purpose was to identify and explore the financial management strategies that corporate financial managers need to adequately protect investors. Twenty participants from a population group of corporate auditors of Fortune 1000 corporations provided input for this study. Data from the interviews were analyzed through coding, reviewing, categorizing, and combining common statements. The research findings included themes of knowledge and types of risks; the impact of financial fraud and risks on investment; the impact of accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards; as well as financial management training to minimize audit expectations. These themes formed the focus of exploring the financial management strategies that corporate financial managers need to adequately protect investors and investments.
Dealing with Egypt Public Debt Accumulation Problem
Authors: Abdu Mohammed I.
Published: November 2019

This paper examines the public debt problem in Egypt, and provides new supportive and non-stereotyped ideas that could help to put public debt on a downturn and a sustainable pass. The analytical approach was used to identify the magnitude of the public debt problem through analyzing the debt structure, the increase in interest payments, and private investment crowding out. The study also evaluates the impact of the economic reform problem on the debt to GDP level; in addition to analyzing the implications of the government plan on debt structure and its associated risks. Some of these risks are: the unsustainability of GDP growth and its structure, debt roll over risk, and the risk of materializing contingent liabilities. Furthermore, this paper proposes new ideas; besides, the usual concentration on fiscal consolidation and stable economic growth to decrease the Egyptian public debt. Improving tax collection, developing government securities market, using the appropriate economic policy mix, applying zero interest rate on the government liabilities to the Central bank of Egypt, and swapping debt with equity, are some non-stereotyped ideas that could help in reducing the public debt of Egypt.

Authors: Hamiza Olema , Ndi Isoh Alain Vilard
Published: November 2019

This study focused on the relationship between supply chain management practices and SME performance in Arua Municipality, Uganda. The research axiology is value free and the approach is deductive. Data were sourced using both structured and semi-structured questionnaire survey consisting of 140 SMEs registered with the Uganda Registration Services Bureau (URSB).Research outcomes revealed that supply chain collaboration is a precursor of SME performance. Whereas, internal management, use of information communication technology and innovation were proven to be statistically insignificant predictors of SME performance.The analysis of the study is deterministic and findings are hypothetical. The research design prohibits studying SME performance using exploratory views. In addition, data collection tool was standardized questionnaire design, and operationalised using quantitative procedures. Application of an in-depth interview could have given profound insights of the studied phenomenon.The practical effects of this study are that: owners and/or Managers of SMEs should improve performance by engaging in collaborative approaches such as long term contracts and interdependence. Scholarly presentations on the effects of supply chain management practices on the performance of SMEs in Arua Municipality, Uganda have attracted little scholarly attention in the past years. This study is therefore of momentous contribution in this area of research.
Bank Competition, Efficiency, and Stability in Macau
Authors: Xia Harry , Lei Kevin , Liang Jiaochen
Published: November 2019

Macau has the uppermost population density and the fourth-highest GDP per capita in the world. Macau’s banking system is regarded as one of the most important indicators of Macau’s macroeconomic growth and stability during its transformation into a wealthy and modern metropolis. In this study, we use a sample of 26 banks to explore the relationship of bank competition, efficiency and stability in Macau from its return to China in 1999 to 2016. Our results demonstrate that bank competition does cause efficiency in Macau throughout the study period. We also find indications of a positive but not significant connection between bank market power and bank fragility including income volatility and insolvency risk. Moreover, this study finds no evidence that the size of operations proxied by total bank loans and total assets would impact bank efficiency, indicating that economies of scale or bank market share don’t necessarily bring about efficiency in Macau. Our evidence contributes to the literature by being the first to thoroughly examine the relation of bank competition, efficiency and stability in Macau. The findings provide meaningful implications to the practitioners and policymakers to make sound decisions accordingly, especially to closely monitor and maintain a proper level of competition in Macau’s banking sector.

Remittances are regarded one of the foremost financial resources globally. Over the past century, in the developing economy, there is a heated debate on the sources of economic growth. The current paper attempts to analyze how economic growth is being impacted by remittance in five selected South Asian countries between the period 1975 and 2017. Estimated results from panel-data estimation techniques exhibit a positive relation between economic growth and remittance in these countries. The results from Granger-causality tests suggest that remittance plays a catalyst role to bring economic growth but economic growth doesn’t play any role to bring remittance while Dumitrescu Hurlin Causality tests found a bi-directional relationship. Important finding of the study is that remittance boost economic growth in South Asian region.
Strategies for Teaching Academic Writing to Saudi L2 Learners
Authors: Hussain Syed Sarwar
Published: November 2019

Of all English Language skills, writing poses the greatest challenge for students due to the demands of style, structure and vocabulary. Even if second language learners (L2 learners) can speak the language well enough for everyday activities - shopping, traveling, and so on, producing an academic write-up that is precise, accurate, objective and fully referenced is still quite a task. This study aimed to determine the academic writing strategies used in ESP classrooms. Along with this, the study determined the perceived proficiency of L2 learners in academic writing, based on their ESP test course. The study also reports the needs of L2 learners in academic writing, and how English for Academic Purposes (EAP) instructors can help to improve the writing skills of L2 learners. The study participants consisted of 60 L2 learners from various departments in King Saud University. A questionnaire was used to gather the responses of participants. The data was analyzed using SPSS 20.0 software. The results are displayed in descriptive statistics - frequencies and percentages. Inferences were made from the quantitative data, which formed the bases of discussion of the results of the study. The study found that L2 learners consider their academic writing skills to be adequate. This was reported as perceived proficiency since previous studies have reported discrepancies between the perception of teachers and students. L2 learners also revealed that they need to improve on grammar, vocabulary and punctuation as well as the use of academic writing strategies. The study revealed that majority of the respondents use strategies such as outlining and brainstorming. L2 learners performed above average when they use these writing strategies. However, L2 learners want EAP instructors to improve on core ESP topics including grammar, vocabulary and the use of writing strategies. Still, others want EAP instructors to improve on their teaching methods, as well as create an all-inclusive environment for students.
The Potential Impact of Morality on Medical Student Global Health Participation
Authors: Rowe Joel , Post Stephen G.
Published: November 2019

Interest in global health experiences (GHEs) has surged in the last decade throughout undergraduate medical education. Positive clinical and cultural learning impacts are well described; however, the moral and motivational typology of the globally minded medical student are yet to be elucidated. We surveyed 85 US medical students, 41 who participated in a GHE during medical school and 44 who did not, to examine their sense of moral association with local community, Americans, and all of humanity. Measures of empathy and spirituality were also administered, as well as a qualitative prompt to elicit reasons for participating, or not, in a GHE. The results of logic regression analysis suggest that the strongest predictors of GHE participation are strong, geographically non-specific identification with ‘all humanity’ [OR=1.31, P<0.01, 95% CI, 1.07–1.59], as well as participation in an abroad experience prior to medical school [OR 141, P<0.01, 95% CI, 10.1–1960]. While respondent groups did not differ significantly in their association with local community, incremental increase in identification with ‘Americans’ decreased likelihood of IME participation by 20% [P=0.02, 95% CI, 0.67–0.96]. No significant effect was found between participant groups in response to empathy or spirituality scales. This pilot study demonstrates that a global regard for ‘all humanity’ may motivate GHE participation while a strong national association diminishes its likelihood.
Factors Influencing Nursing Education and Teaching Methods in Nursing Institutions: A Case Study of South West Nigeria
Authors: Lateef Adepeju M. , Mhlongo Euphemia M.
Published: November 2019

BACKGROUND: Teaching and learning are like two composites sides of a coin. While the indispensability of teaching to knowledge and skill acquisition among professionals including nurses is never in doubt, certain teaching methods have been proven to yield more fruitful results than others. This study therefore explored the lived experience of nurse educators regarding teaching methods and the challenges encountered in nursing education institutions in South West Nigeria.

METHODOLOGY: A qualitative inquiry research approach was used. Fifteen nursing educators were purposively selected from three nursing institutions in South West Nigeria with at least one year of teaching experience. Data was collected through semi-structured, in-depth individual interviews with the selected participants. All interview sessions were audio recorded with participants' permission and later transcribed verbatim. Thereafter, the collected data was analyzed using thematic content analysis.

RESULTS: The study identified a number of factors that hindering teaching methods that support students learning by nurse educators. Results showed six themes viz: Inadequate preparedness of the students for higher education; Insufficient facilitation skills of the teachers; Misconceptions about teaching practices; Resource constraints; Resistance to change; and Lack of incentives. Further analysis revealed that the dynamic changes occurring in the health care professions, require a radical shift in the way nursing students are taught, to develop them into competent nurses of the future, who are capable of using their skills to solve the health care needs of the populace.

CONCLUSIONS: The effective use of teaching methods is the cornerstone of the future of general nursing and nursing practice. Nurses need to be trained with an objective to become skilled and competent through effective teaching and learning by taking into account the diversity of higher education institutions and responding effectively to the needs of nursing educators and nursing students, as well as institutional demands.
The Effect of Entrepreneurial Orientation on the Competitive Advantage through Strategic Entrepreneurship in the Cafe Business in Ambon
Authors: Kempa Sesilya , Setiawan Truly Gladys
Published: November 2019

The changed lifestyle of Ambon city residents influenced cafe business growth in Am­bon. This research aims to determine the effect of entrepreneurial orientation on strategic en­tre­pre­neurship used by cafes and their impact on competitive advantage. The type of re­se­arch used in this research is quantitative research using an accidental sampling technique. The data col­lection process was carried out by distributing 50 questionnaires to the owners or ma­na­gers of cafes in Ambon. From 50 questionnaires that have been distributed, only 41 qu­es­ti­onnaires (82% response rate) cn be processed further using partial least square (PLS) method. This research found out that entrepreneurial orientation affects strategic en­tre­pre­ne­urship, stra­tegic entrepreneurship affects competitive advantage, and entrepreneurial ori­en­tation affects com­petitive advantage through strategic entrepreneurship. The magnitude of the influence of each is 0.724; 0.511; and 0.370. In this research, the entrepreneurial ori­en­ta­tion of the owner and manager of the cafe did not affect the competitive advantage of the cafe at all.
The Impact of Product Attributes, Price, Place, Advertising, and Sales Promotion: A Case of Kids Shampoo in Indonesia
Authors: Proboyo Adelina , Kusuma Bram Imantaka
Published: November 2019

Kids shampoo has been the main driver of growth for the slow-growing baby and child hair care industry in Indonesia. Knowing this phenomenon, Company A launched Product X, a kids shampoo product, in 2016. The purpose of this research is to do a gap analysis between the perception and the expectation of intrinsic and extrinsic product attributes, sales promotion, and place. Prior to the gap analysis, 109 data is collected through online questionnaires and then analyzed using a multiple regression analysis to know the impact of intrinsic and extrinsic product attributes, price, place, advertising, and sales promotion on purchase intention. The result shows that intrinsic and extrinsic product attributes, sales promotion, and place influence purchase intention significantly, while price and advertising are not significant. From the gap analysis, the perceived performance of Product X on four significant elements is lower than the expectation.
Catalytic Hydrogenation of N‐protected α‐Amino Acids Using Ruthenium Complexes with Monodentate Phosphine Ligands
Authors: Saito Akari , Yoshioka Shota , Naruto Masayuki , Saito Susumu
Published: November 2019

A ruthenium complex with a monodentate phosphine ligand was used to catalytically hydrogenate N‐protected α‐amino acids under essential retention of the configuration of their α‐chiral centers. Among the ligands tested for this hydrogenation, which proceeds at a relatively low temperature, tris(para‐fluorophenyl)phosphine exhibited the best performance. In comparison, electron‐rich monodentate, bidentate, and tridentate phosphines were far less effective. The precatalyst Ru(OAc)2[(p‐FC6H4)3P]2 was synthesized and isolated, and its structure was determined by a single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. N‐protected α‐amino acids with neutral alkyl side chains, including polar functional groups such as sulfides, indoles, ethers, phenols, pyrroles, and arenes, are compatible with the applied hydrogenation conditions, affording the corresponding optically active 2‐substituted‐2‐(1H‐pyrrol‐1‐yl)ethan‐1‐ol (2‐amino ethanol) derivatives in moderate to high yield.

Anti‐Muslim hate speech and displacement narratives: Case studies from Sri Lanka and Australia
Authors: Stewart James
Published: November 2019

Muslim communities have frequently been the victim of vilification and discrimination in Australia and the broader Asian region. This article discusses and compares the narratives around Muslim vilification in Australia and Sri Lanka. Despite the fact that these two nations are vastly different in size, demographics and cultural history, I will argue that there are remarkable similarities in how Muslims are subject to attack in both nations. The hate speech occasioned against Muslims in Sri Lanka and Australia is shaped by almost identical narrative structures and is cultivated in similar online environments. In both cases, anti‐Muslim animus is fuelled by a fear of displacement and perceived contamination of what nativists regard as ethnically sovereign territory. I will argue that the underlying sub‐text in both cases is owed to a repulsion to the physical presence of Muslims which can be understood in terms of Mary Douglas' concept of the moral pollutant.
