Authors: Romashko Olha , Melnyk Nataliya , Moskaliuk Hanna , Volchek Ruslan , Kuzmenko Olena 
Published: November 2023

Accounting is a business language that evolves and adapts at all levels, from the global economy to the enterprise or personal finance level. Modern accountants perform various roles and functions, creating conditions conducive to the formation of a favourable business climate. This study aims to establish the influence of both the number and educational level of accountants on the formation of the business climate in countries within the European Union. Correlation-regression analysis was the predominant research method employed to investigate the correlation between the proportion of accountants in the workforce, education levels of accountants, and the Ease of Doing Business Index in EU countries acknowledged. The obtained results demonstrate that the number of accountants does not have a direct impact on the Ease of Doing Business Index in EU countries. However, the education level of accountants has a positive effect.

Authors: Mohamad Nur Izzaty , Sanusi Soliha , Raja Hisham Raja Rizal Iskandar 
Published: November 2023

Supervisory leadership is essential in the management performance and human resource development chain. Besides supervisory leadership, motivation to transfer is emphasised as another crucial factor affecting knowledge transfer. This study aims to investigate a significant relationship between the independent variable (supervisory leadership), mediating variable (motivation to transfer) and dependent variable (knowledge transfer). A cross-sectional research design is used to gather 540 surveys from workforces in Malaysian public departments. The structural equation modelling using SmartPLS findings confirmed that the relationship between supervisory leadership and knowledge transfer is mediated by a motivation to transfer. Future research should include both public and private enterprises to increase the effectiveness of the study’s conceptual framework in the organisational context.

Published: November 2023

The purpose of this study was to identify key factors that have a significant impact on the level of high-tech production in the region and the development of human capital in seven countries of the Caucasus and Central Asia. A comprehensive literature analysis was carried out to achieve this goal, including data from several countries of the Caucasus and Central Asia, including demographic data, education levels, labor market indicators, health indicators, and research activities. The authors constructed a model of multiple spatial regression, including seven spatial objects and a 5-time series. A qualitative model of cumulative panel regression without signs of multicollinearity was obtained as a result of the step-by-step elimination of collinear and nonessential variables. The results of the study revealed three key factors that are closely and directly related to the level of production of high-tech products. Two relate to the education sector – "the number of university graduates in the field of science and technology", and "the number of researchers per 1 million inhabitants" and one indicator characterizes the labor market – "the employment level in the economy". The authors did not identify a close relationship between the level of high-tech production and economic factors, such as cost and productivity, which contradicts the results of other research and requires more careful study. The results of the research can be useful in the development of measures to promote human capital and innovation policy of the countries of the Caucasus and Central Asia.

Overcoming classroom challenges is not always straightforward. It is well-known that educators face stress due to various reasons, such as familiar problems, overwork, multiple activities of the teacher, student problems, new methodologies and teaching tools, etc. As a university professor we perceive innumerable situations where students cannot control and / or solve their own conflicts, therefore, they allow these problems to affect their personal, social, physical and even mental health. This research aimed to explore how university educators in the Lambayeque region perceive the relationship between resilience and Burnout Syndrome. The sample comprised 300 faculty members from accredited institutions in Lambayeque. This study used a quantitative, non-experimental, descriptive correlational design. Questionnaires on resilience and Burnout Syndrome were employed since they have proven to be valid, reliable, and supported by substantial evidence. The results demonstrated a statistically significant association between the two variables, with a moderate negative correlation (sig. 0.05), lending credibility to the alternative hypothesis. Among the surveyed professors, 61.7% expressed intentions to focus on becoming more resilient, while 36.37% stated they exhibited external symptoms of the aforementioned condition. According to the findings, the risk of educators developing this condition decreases as they enhance their resilience.

Authors: Kabuya Matilda , Lentswe Mosweunyane , Chipunza Crispen , Adewumi Samson Adeoluwa 
Published: November 2023

Entrepreneurs specialize in increasing productivity and thus, contribute to the country's development and economic growth. The focus of the study is to investigate the extent to which necessity entrepreneurs’ and stakeholders’ strategies can enable the survival of small services and businesses such as hair salons. The argument is that hair salons that are created out of necessity may not be able to survive turbulent economic times. The paper argues that survival strategies may assist entrepreneurs to survive and grow in business. A positivist approach was employed and a sample of 144 was randomly recruited from hair salon business owners. The structured questionnaire was analyzed, yielding descriptive and inferential analyses with means, percentages, variances, correlation coefficients, regression analysis, and the Normal Q-Q plot used to analyze and explain the variables. The findings show a significant relationship between necessity entrepreneurship and business survival. This largely explains that they work assiduously for the growth of their enterprise. Necessity entrepreneurs influence economic development, and entrepreneurs create new businesses by helping in intensifying competition which assists in the growth of the business. Stakeholders influence the rate of necessity entrepreneurs’ survival. It is, therefore, concluded that hair salons build active participation with their stakeholders (customers, employers, community, and environment). Stakeholders are more willing to work with a business when they believe it is acting in ways consistent with its values.

Authors: Garbarova Miriam , Fabus Juraj , Kremenova Iveta , Vartiak Lukas 
Published: November 2023

Before 2020, there were three methods for students at the University of Zilina (hereafter referred to as UNIZA) to pursue their education. Students have to complete exercises and lectures as scheduled during their daily study. Students were required to participate in classes or exercises individually, as agreed upon with the instructor, through an external study method with a timetable for their educational activities. Beginning in 2020, distance learning (which took place online) was added, changing this. Moodle seemed no longer sufficient; thus, Microsoft Teams was adopted to handle large-scale online collaboration. The paper addresses the benefits and drawbacks of the platforms, as mentioned earlier and analyses the survey results obtained from UNIZA students. Students have become somewhat accustomed to distance learning while developing their digital skills through various programs and software. Some applications were made available to them thanks to MS Teams. Students learned to develop their logical, technical, and analytical thinking potential. They had to learn to work independently and with new platforms. This experience can give students a competitive advantage in the job market.

Published: November 2023

Schools should be able to create an inclusive, safe, and supportive learning environment, as outlined in the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These goals have been translated into policies and implemented through a Child-Friendly School (CFS) program in UN member countries. This study examines how the CFS program is implemented in one UN member country, specifically in Indonesia, particularly in Junior High Schools in the city of Semarang. This research employs a qualitative exploratory method conducted through interviews, focus group discussions, and observations with various participants, including school principals, educators, education staff, students, and parents in eight schools, CFS facilitators, school supervisory coordinators, and education department officials. The study results identified several CFS program concepts, which were grouped into six dimensions such as first, the CFS policy dimension; second, the dimension of trained educators and education staff on children's rights; third, the dimension of CFS learning process implementation; fourth, the dimension of CFS facilities and resources; fifth, the dimension of children's participation; and sixth, the dimension of parent, alumni, community organization, and business world participation. The findings of this study are expected to make a significant contribution in the form of CFS programs in Indonesian junior high schools, creating inclusive schools that prioritize equality values in achieving academic success. Additionally, these research results can serve as a reference for the goverment in optimizing the development of CFS programs in schools. Furthermore, this study can contribute to the body of knowledge, especially in the field of inclusive education.

Word Formation Head and the Typology Analysis of the Word Formation Corpus in Albanian
Authors: Deda Albana , Hoshafi Monika 
Published: November 2023

Word formation in Albanian studies represents many problems that have been identified not only in university level but even in the pre-university one. This paper intends to examine the concept of the head as part of the word formation process, as this is a term, which is not encountered in the Albanian traditional studies. It will be introduced in this study from the perspective of the generative grammar theory. The aim of this paper is to discuss and argue about the similarity of the process and of the terminology when used at the syntactic and morphological level. Furthermore, there will be introduced some criteria based on which the head is defined at each level, and by providing arguments that some of these criteria are not applied at both levels. Then, it will be examined how the term head is applied at the morphological level, by describing its features when it is a derivational morpheme, or when it is the root/base form. Finally, two ways of approaching word-formation will be presented: one of them is based on the morpheme and it includes the concept of the head (morpheme-based morphology), and the other is based on the word (word-based morphology), where the concept of the head has not been excluded, while word-formation rules are being drafted. The approach of the study will be from an analytical and comparative perspective.

Authors: Beqqali Nabila , Hattaf Khalid , Achtaich Naceur 
Published: November 2023

Mathematical biology has made great progress in recent years, particularly in epidemiology during or even before the COVID-19 pandemic. Mathematical modeling has played a key role in this progress. In this paper, we examine whether the teaching and learning of mathematics in Moroccan high school takes into consideration specialty disciplines such as biology. To do this, we are looking for the applications of biology in the Moroccan mathematical programs in the second year of the baccalaureate option life and earth sciences. First, we analyze the pedagogical guidelines concerning mathematical applications in specialty disciplines. In addition, we analyze the textbooks concerning the second year of baccalaureate option life and earth sciences. The results show that mathematical applications in experimental sciences, especially in biology, for the mathematics program of the second year of the baccalaureate are still very limited in the Moroccan curriculum, whether in learning activities or exercises.
