Living in a limbo between two homes
Authors:   , Khafaji Lana
Published: November 2020

As a result of the Syrian crisis which began in 2011, Lebanon has been a main country of refuge for a large number of Syrian refugees. According to the annual report from the Danish Refugee Council (2016), 25% of Lebanon’s population are refugees. This has led to serious concerns on the issue of their return. Interdisciplinary scholars from different backgrounds have discussed the concept of repatriation, however, there has been a lack of scholarly research on the return of Syrian refugees in Lebanon to their home. This paper aims to study the challenges of repatriation of Syrian refugees and examine whether they consider Lebanon as their second home. In my study, I will assess their living conditions in Lebanon and their everyday ordeals based a number of semi-structured interviews I have conducted with them. Collected data are crossreferenced and analyzed with the general concept of repatriation that has been discussed by scholars. Basically, it is found that the return to Syria is not happening in the near future, and some refugees have found a second home in Lebanon due to the severe losses they have faced after the 2011 war on Syria. Studies that have been conducted for this project state that Syrian refugees portray the return to their homeland as a ‘myth’ because the nostalgic feeling for Syria that they once knew is no longer there.
Excessive managerial entrenchment, corporate governance, and firm performance
Authors:   , Antounian Christelle
Published: November 2020

This paper investigates the impact of excessive managerial entrenchment on the CEO turnover-performance sensitivity, CEO compensation, and firm value. We measure the degree of managerial entrenchment based on the E-index presented by Bebchuck et al. (2006). Our main focus is on firms’ excess managerial entrenchment, which is calculated by finding the difference between firm’s E-index and its industry median in a given year. Our findings suggest that an increase in excess CEO entrenchment reduces the likelihood of CEO turnover due to poor performance. We also show a positive correlation between excessive entrenchment and CEO compensation as managers gain more power and authority when they are entrenched. On the other hand, excess CEO entrenchment has an inverse correlation with firm value. We propose that excessive managerial entrenchment has a converse impact on board monitoring and firm performance. Also, we suggest that a sound corporate protects the shareholders’ interests as it prevents CEOs from over entrenchment.
The effect of utilizing danielson framework for teaching on teachers' perceptions of effective teaching
Authors:   , Shehab Usama
Published: November 2020

Inconsistent definitions of effective teachers and teaching among teachers and diverse classroom observation tools that supervisors of instructions use can have a negative impact on the instructional supervision process. The goal of this study was to address such issues by examining teachers’ perceptions of effective teaching behaviors and qualities before and after implementing the Danielson Framework for Teaching at a school in Beirut. The purpose was to create common understanding of the concepts of effective teachers and teaching among school stakeholders. The study addressed two research questions: (a) What are the perceptions of teachers regarding the qualities and behaviors of effective teachers before implementing the Danielson Framework for Teaching? (b) How did these perceptions differ after implementing Danielson’s framework? A mixed-methods approach combining quantitative and qualitative methodologies in a triangulation design was followed using a survey and a focus group interview respectively. A purposive sample of forty-one teachers (N=41) completed the survey, and seven teachers (N=7) participated in a focus group interview. Quantitative data results showed that the familiarity with Danielson’s framework generated more agreement among the participants on the elements of effective teaching as compared to the data before implementation. Qualitative data results revealed a shared understanding of the importance of having good classroom management and planning for instruction as elements of good teaching. Other themes emerged such as engaging students in the learning process and having professional responsibilities, but the participants showed less shared agreement on the importance of these. However, after implementing the framework, the qualitative and quantitative findings were more aligned: the theme, “engaging students in the learning process”, gained significance, and agreement increased among teachers on the importance of the four domains of Danielson’s framework for effective teaching. The findings of this study were compatible with the literature to a great extent. This study is the first to examine the effect of implementing Danielson’s framework on teachers’ perceptions of effective teaching in Lebanon. Further research to replicate and expand the findings of this study is recommended. Implications for practice include recommendations for school principals to develop a shared understanding of the qualities of effective teachers through implementing Danielson’s framework for professional development.

Published: November 2020

With the advancement in information technology, researchers are realizing the remarkable potentials that big data technology can bring to the healthcare field by enhancing the efficiency of its workflow. Big data is suggested to play an essential role in the progression of the healthcare field as it provides tools to collect, organize, and analyze large structured or unstructured volumes of data. This gathered data can help in decision making. It has been contributing in the process of health care delivery and the discovery of specific diseases. Despite that, not all healthcare institutions are utilizing big data technology in their operations. This study is conducted to understand the acceptance of big data technology by healthcare institutions such as hospitals, laboratories, and medical equipment companies operating in emerging countries versus developed countries. While consonance on the importance of big data exists, results show that perceptions and attitudes toward big data usage are driven by different factors across countries.

The wide applicability of Internet of Things (IoT) would truly enable the pervasiveness of smart devices for sensing data. IoT coupled with machine learning would enter us in an era of smart and personalized, services. In order to achieve service personalization, there is a need to collect sensitive data about the users. That yields to privacy concerns due to the possibility of abusing the data or having attackers to gain unauthorized access. Moreover, the nature of IoT devices, being resource and computationally constrained, makes it di cult to perform heavy protection mechanisms. Despite the presence of several solutions for protecting user privacy, they were not created for the purpose of running on small devices at a large scale. On top of that, existing solutions lack the customization of user privacy in which users have little to no control over their own private data. In this regards, we address the aforementioned issue of protecting user's privacy while taking into account e ciency as well as memory usage. The proposed scheme embeds an e cient and lightweight algebra based that targets user privacy and provides e cient policy evaluation. Moreover, an intelligent model to customize user's privacy based on real time behavior is integrated. Experiments conducted on synthetic and real-life scenarios to demonstrate the feasibility and relevance of our proposed framework within IoT environment.
Analysis of Russia’s Policy Behaviour after the Abolition of the INF Treaty
Authors: Cui Zheng , Wang Yajie
Published: November 2020

The “Treaty between the Soviet Union and the United States on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles” (after this referred to as the “Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces — INF Treaty”), was an arms control treaty. This Treaty was abandoned after being extended for more than three decades. In the current context of competition among great powers, its abolition not only affects the military designs of the two countries but also impacts the reconstruction of regional and global strategic layouts, as well as the future of the global armament system. Against the background of significant changes in Russia’s strategic security environment during the post-INF Treaty period, Russia’s policy behaviour has exhibited a strong “security orientation”. That is, at the military level, it updates and upgrades its nuclear arsenals and continuously expands its deterrence options; at the diplomatic level, it has broken through the Western blockade by expanding Russia’s partner circle. In explanation of the reasons for the emergence of “security-oriented” behaviour characteristics in Russia, this paper argues that geopolitical narration plays a role in shaping Russia’s behaviour. On the other hand, the inertia of Russia’s policy behaviour is explained from the perspective of Russia’s national characteristics, primarily as defined by its national identity. Finally, this paper gives a brief prediction of the future trend of Russia’s behaviour and the arms control system in the post-INF Treaty period.

Published: November 2020

Purpose: The aim of the paper is to indicate functions that spatial policy tools at local level 10 should fulfill while protecting the space understood as a public good. Design/methodology/approach: The paper is of a review nature, but it refers to results of conducted research, included in the context of public goods. Findings: The area of communes covered by local plans is varied and very often depends on random circumstances from the perspective of the main spatial policy framework. The above illustrates diverse conditions, in which spatial conflicts may occur. Factors that should theoretically play an ordering role actually bring much more chaos. Therefore, the behavior of communal authorities in the implementation of spatial policy is contained in the sphere of impacts difficult to clearly predict, about which E. Ostrom mentioned. Social implications: In the context of current problems occurring in the spatial management system, it is worth developing the approach to space as a public good. This will help to adapt the approaches and characteristics of public goods to the current conditions of spatial management system and optimal role of spatial policy tools. Originality/value: This paper defines the roles of spatial policy tools protecting the space understood as a public good. Space protection in this approach must be implemented through specific spatial policy tools. The paper verifies the real scope of such protection. An attempt was made to translate approaches and dilemmas regarding public goods into conditions related to the spatial management system.

Authors:   University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Management, Bydgoszcz, STOIKA Viktoriia
Published: November 2020

European integration and the identification of obstacles to full membership in the European Union. Design/methodology/approach: The methodological and theoretical basis of the article is the fundamental provisions of economic theory, the works of scientists and economists in the field of international economic relations and integration. Findings: The article explores the problems of Ukraine’s integration into the EU. The study analyzed the attitude of Ukrainians towards European integration, identified the main arguments for and against accession to the EU countries, as well as the main internal and external threats of the integration process. It has been determined that in recent years the proportion of the population that has supported Ukraine’s accession to the EU has significantly increased. From the integration into the EU, Ukrainians primarily expect to expand the space of their own capabilities and the country's internal development in accordance with modern world trends. It is concluded that the population considers a high level of corruption in the country, problems in the Donbass and the inefficiency of public administration as the main obstacles to this process. Most residents of Ukraine consider it necessary to implement European reforms, but the consequence of their implementation has identified significant problems in terms of their real social effect. It is determined that Ukraine in some macroeconomic indicators lags significantly behind the EU countries, continues to lose its position in the global ranking of countries in terms of economic competitiveness, and remains one of the poorest countries in Europe. A significant problem for the development of Ukraine is the labor migration of the population and, in particular, the increase in the number of illegal migrants - Ukrainians in Europe. The main achievements in the implementation of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU are analyzed and the main threats to the further European integration are identified. It is concluded that Ukraine needs to develop its own “action plan” for the possibility of realizing national interests, taking into account the interests of the parties involved in the integration process. Originality/value: The mood of Ukrainian society, the current position of the state, the main obstacles and priorities that Ukraine faces on the way to the EU have been analysed in detail.

Authors:   Silesian University of Technology, Faculty of Organization and Management, DŹWIGOŁ Henryk
Published: November 2020

Purpose: The aim of the article is to compare the results of research on the use of research methods and techniques in solving management problems and in verifying which of the two acceptable approaches in the research process dominates among practitioners and theoreticians of management sciences. Design/methodology/approach: The survey was conducted by means of a questionnaire. The research was addressed to management science theoreticians and management practitioners being the target group covering: 272 foreign universities; 21,024 foreign researchers; 93 domestic universities; 2,307 domestic researchers; 52 foreign companies, 183 domestic companies. As a result of the research effort, 401 representatives of management science theoreticians and 118 practitioners were examined. Findings: The carried-out research has made it possible to identify methods, procedures, techniques and approaches that are most relevant to research processesin management sciences. Furthermore, both scientists and practitioners of management sciences use the same research methods. Research limitations/implications: It should be stated that management science and the methods used in it should support business practice and, to some extent, provide guidance to managers and directors. Management should be treated as a normative science, the aim of which is to formulate the principles of effective and efficient functioning of enterprises. Practical implications: The conclusions resulting from the carried-out research explicitly indicate that both scientists and practitioners of management sciences use the same research methods, i.e.: analysis of documentation, questionnaire, observation and interview. Research results obtained during the research process in the field of management sciences should be applied in practice. Social implications: Owing to the involvement of scientists and practitioners in research, it can be concluded that, while defining a research problem, it is difficult to choose a single method which allows for a full and thorough diagnosis of the problem under investigation. It is therefore necessary, in the research process, to use a variety of methods which will provide a comprehensive response to the posed problem. Originality/value: The research carried out has made it possible to identify methods, procedures, techniques and approaches that are most relevant to the research processes in management sciences. They were carried out in two stages. The commitment of both theoreticians and practitioners to the research process resulted in a broader interpretation of management sciences and allowed the author to diagnose the studied issues more fully and thoroughly.

Authors:   Politechnika Świętokrzyska, GĄSIOROWSKA-MĄCZNIK Edyta
Published: November 2020

Purpose: The main study objective is to identify the most important reasons why owners of agrotourism business entities undertake coopetition activities and to identify the benefits and risks resulting from the implementation of the coopetition strategy. Project/methodologyapproach: Theoretical aspects of the coopetition strategy are the starting point for pilot studies carried out in the Świętokrzyskie region on a sample of 150 agrotourism business entities, which accounts for about 30% of all such entities operating in the region. An interview questionnaire was used in the study. A deliberate selection of the research area and the subjects surveyed was assumed. Results: The analysis of the results of the pilot study shows that the coopetition strategy brings greater benefits to agrotourism business entities than competition and co-operation strategies implemented separately, the benefits include: expanding the scale of operations, strengthening the position of the company in relation to competitors which are not parties to the coopetition agreement, and access to new customer markets. When making a decision on cooperation, the surveyed owners of agrotourism business entities most often treat it as a strategic decision, i.e. relating to effects in a distant time horizon, and its main reason is to increase competitiveness on the market. Practical implications: Both cooperation and competition relations are important for the development of agrotourism business entities. Cooperative relationships are created as associations, usually to carry out tasks aimed at increasing the attractiveness of a given tourist destination. Competitive relationships concern in particular the individual offer of services, their quality and diversity. The consequences of both types of activities have a significant impact on building competitive advantage of the surveyed business entities. Originality/value: The analysis of literature leads to the conclusion that there are no scientific studies showing the coopetition in relation to the activities of agrotourism business entities. Therefore, the issues addressed form a research gap. The article is directed to owners of agrotourism business entities and agrotourism associations.

Findings from the analyses showed that financial market performance has no long run causal relationship with foreign portfolio investment in Nigeria. Also, stock market performance and stock market liquidity have no short run causal relationship with foreign portfolio investment in Nigeria. Lastly, total new issue has a short run causal relationship with foreign portfolio investment in Nigeria. The study on the basis of these findings recommends that stock market regulators should through conscious enlightenment campaigns encourage more domestic participation in the market to enhance the market performance, deepening and growth as this will strengthen its long run causality with FPI. Lastly, stock market regulators should through conscious risk reduction policies formulation and implementation reduce the riskiness of investing in the stock market to increase transactions and liquidity in the stock market, boost the rate of turnover to investors as this will attract foreign portfolio investors to the Nigerian financial market.

For non-Muslim couples, generally, the custody of the child will be prioritized to be given to the mother. Secondly, The basis for determining the provision of child custody that reflects the principle of the best interest of the child for Muslim couples is that if the child is over 12 (twelve) years old, therefore the judge should not necessarily prioritize giving custody to the mother, rather they must pay attention to aspects of the need and the wishes of the child. If the child is not yet 12 (twelve) years old, the judge should also consider the desires and needs of the child and not necessarily give custody to the mother. The basis for determining the granting of child custody that reflects the principle of the best interest of the child for non-Muslim couples is when the judge does not necessarily give priority to the mother, but should consider the desiresand needs of the child.

Authors: RYMARZ RICHARD
Published: November 2020

This paper examines student perceptions on use and delivery of online resources in religious education. It examines student responses to one series of religious education resources widely used in Australian Catholic Schools. Data was collected using school based religious education leaders to ask students about their opinions and preferences on delivery of online material. Major findings include: the need to present text in small manageable sections that clearly identified key concepts; the desirability of interactive and engaging presentations of material; utilizing images and narratives as a way of presenting complex information; the need to make decisions about the amount of material to be presented as text. These results were discussed within a conceptual framework of seeing effective online resources as contributing to reducing cognitive load for students in religious education.

The present study examines the synergy of Social Pedagogy and Religious Education (RE)in Education.The aim of the research is the study of the personal and collective change that Religious Education can cause, and its preventive operation in the management of the new global conditions.It is a blended research. It took place during the school year 2017-18 in a Gymnasium and a Lyceum of Attica with the methodology of critical ethnography. The analysis of the qualitative and quantitative data shows that religious knowledge, developed in Education and aiming religious literacy, as defined in the context of Greek / European cultural identity and multiculturalism, can operate preventively and intrusively, on a personal and collective level in the management of modern conditions of globalization, population movement and multiculturalism, when it is understood as experience and is meaningful with the concepts of understanding, reflection and action. The transformative dynamics of religious knowledge trigger the young person to make small and big changes. This learning procedure strongly influences the person who seems to challenge his environment, his parents. This is done without sacrificing the religious content of the subject, which is not delivered by another subject at school. With this, in fact, it can achieve to a high degree the cultural recognition and acceptance of religious diversity and to a certain extent the change of attitudes towards the foreigner, the immigrant, the refugee. Above all, however, it turns out that it contributes to the development of acquaintance and communication of team members, recognition and to a degree of acceptance of otherness and certainly to the development of relationships, in cases that did not exist before.
