Ethics Education in Business Schools: Emerging Issues and Challenges
Authors: Bláha Jiří , Klimszová Slavomíra , Klimsza Lucjan 
Published: June 2022

Ethical education is a perpetual learning process, lasting from childhood until the end of life. Human beings continually learn about ethical values, behavioural justification, and moral conscience, whether it is from the family, which is the basic and fundamental cell of society in its entirety, or from politics or one’s workplace. University students who prepare for an occupation with a high level of social responsibility have a chance to acquire knowledge about morality, ethics, and values. Managers and those studying management also need to consider ethics. Ethics education proves to be vital in various professions, and the learning process in this field could be more effective in the training programmes of those professions. Universities which offer management programmes include ethics education and teach the knowledge and skills of ethical behaviour, which students go on to practice in their respective workplaces. The question, however, is, “What does this school offer in ethics education?” The main goal of this article is to explore which areas of ethics in tertiary education in the Czech Republic are offered in management degrees, and how this is connected with true ethical leadership.

Academic Integrity in Education in the Context of Sustainable Development of Society
Authors: Kudeikina Inga , Mihailovs Ivans Jānis , Zīvarts Juris 
Published: June 2022

It is beyond argument that education is a cornerstone of the sustainable development of any society and state. The more educated society and its individual members are, the more capable the state and its economy and security and technology systems are of giving a targeted response to challenges of today’s world. However, education should not be seen as an end in itself. Certain quality requirements and standards should be respected in the educational process, one of them being academic integrity. Academic misconduct is firmly condemned both at educational institutions and in society, and occasionally the lawfulness of acquired education may be questioned. This kind of misconduct represents a phenomenon leading to several threats, and it can be interpreted as an intellectual property theft, which compromises the quality of education, thereby reducing a state’s capacity for development, and undermines confidence in educational institutions and persons who have committed misconduct, adversely affecting society in general. It should be emphasised that, if ignored, academic misconduct facilitates legal nihilism in the long term. Therefore, one of priorities in education should be associated with solidifying academic integrity as a component of sustainable development. In the light of the above, this article analyses the understanding of academic integrity and how students can be punished for academic misconduct in the context of sustainable development, for which purpose internal regulations of major higher education institutions of the Republic of Latvia have been examined.
Keywords: academic integrity, liability for academic misconduct, right to education, sustainable development of the state
Multi-Dimensional Assessment of a Bavarian and Czech University: A Case Study of Sustainability Implementation
Authors: Herzner Alexander , Hommerová Dita 
Published: June 2022

Evaluating the effectiveness of sustainability implementation at Higher Education Institutions is still challenging, due to less multi-dimensional approaches. Purpose is to present a new assessment - Sustainable Maturity model (SuMa model) for evaluating the implementation of sustainability at two universities in a border region with different maturity profiles through an internationally designed case study. Therefore, internal documents were analyzed, and interviews were conducted. The pilot implementation of this model showed that it can also be used internationally to evaluate the current state of sustainability implementation. As the assessment results prove, the critical point is effectiveness of strategy implementation and communication. Also, a lack of common understanding of sustainability still exists. The case study shows that the cultural and historical differences that exist in rural areas matters for implementing sustainability. The new SuMa assessment-model is a very suitable tool that delivers relevant indicators for measurable and comparable results over time and, above all, helps and supports the implementation of sustainability across all activities in the higher education landscape. It thus offers the possibility of being a standardized tool used worldwide.

Gender-based Violence: Its Prevalence, Forms, Causes and Consequences
Authors: UGOWE DAVIES 
Published: June 2022

In the first section of this paper, the author briefly discussed the prevalence of violence against women, which is as old as time itself and is pervasively perpetrated by men on women worldwide, regardless of their sociocultural, political, religious, or economic status. No nation in the world is immune to it. Nonetheless, severity varies. In contrast to developed nations, women in African nations are more likely to be abused. It is shockingly accepted and considered normal in this region of the world. The lack of data from victims is one of the greatest obstacles to assessing the full impact of gender-based violence in African societies. When this information is available, it is not always sufficient.
Using the ecological model, the author attempts to classify the various forms of violence into four major categories, including physical, economic, psychological/emotional, and sexual abuse, as well as the factors responsible for them, including individual, relationship, community, and societal factors. On both the individual and societal levels, the negative consequences of violence were emphasized, and appropriate recommendations were made.
Presentación del Monográfico: Gestión de la Comunicación de crisis. Presente y futuro
Authors: Lobillo Gema , Schwarz Andreas , Barrientos-Báez Almudena 
Published: June 2022

El concepto de crisis también ha ido evolucionando para adaptarse a las nuevas realidades de la comunicación (Suárez y García, 2010). Según Coombs (1999), una adecuada gestión de crisis debe pasar por la prevención, la preparación, el desempeño y el aprendizaje. Es difícil prevenir cuando no hay experiencias previas ante situaciones totalmente nuevas.
El panorama comunicacional es más cambiante que nunca, por lo que las crisis se vuelven casi impredecibles. Tras sufrir la crisis mundial más significativa de todos los tiempos, como la del COVID-19 (Casero-Ripollés, 2020; Costa-Sánchez y López-García, 2020), las organizaciones han tenido que redefinirse para seguir siendo competitivas en los diferentes mercados. Nos enfrentamos ante retos y paradigmas difíciles de anticipar en un mundo globalizado y conectado, donde las crisis se amplifican exponencialmente (Losada, 2018).
La gestión de crisis es imprescindible para los gobiernos, empresas, administraciones, proyectos y cualquier organización a través de adecuados programas estratégicos de comunicación. Por ello, es necesario profundizar en la investigación en comunicación, poniendo en valor las tendencias en esta materia.
Las crisis sanitarias (Lorente, 2010), la pérdida de la reputación por una errónea gestión (Xifra, 2020), la gestión del miedo como instrumento de persuasión (Rodríguez-Andrés, 2011) son algunos de los temas que requieren de especial atención para conocer la respuesta de los stakeholders ante situaciones adversas.
En este monográfico hacemos un llamamiento a artículos para profundizar en la gestión de crisis y las nuevas tendencias en políticas comunicativas y de marketing de las organizaciones, así como en la comunicación política como forma de conectar con la sociedad. Especial atención también presta esta llamada a artículos a las investigaciones en cuanto a la credibilidad de las organizaciones, a través de programas de responsabilidad social u otras formas de comunicación. Además, la vinculación entre crisis sanitarias y ODS se hace imprescindible en los tiempos que vivimos.

Published: June 2022

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) enfeksiyonu en önemli kronik bakteriyel enfeksiyon olarak kabul edilmektedir. Son yıllarda tedavide kullanılan antibiyotiklere karşı bakterinin direnç geliştirdiği rapor edilmiştir. Tedavide başarı oranının yükselmesi ve rekürrensin azalması için, toksik olmayan biyouyumlu bitkisel kaynakların araştırılarak sistemik antibiyotik tedavisine ek olarak kullanılması ve eradikasyonun sağlanması son derece önemlidir. Bitkilerden elde edilen yağlar uzun yıllardan beri çeşitli amaçlara yönelik, özellikle ticari ve bilimsel alanlarda kullanılmaktadır. Bu nedenle çalışmamızda; genellikle mide ve gastrointestinal sistem rahatsızlıklarına iyi geldiği bilinen ve literatürde H.pyloriüzerinde yapılmış yeterli çalışması bulunmayan çeşitli bitkisel yağlar (Eucalyptus globulus, Juniperus communis, Rosmarinus officinalis, Thymus vulgaris) seçilmiş ve H. pylori'ye karşı antimikrobiyal etkinlikleri ile Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC) hücre soyu üzerindeki sitotoksik etkilerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Bitkisel yağların antimikrobiyal etkinlikleri mikrodilüsyon yöntemi ile (MIC, MBC), sitotoksik etkinlikleri ise MTT ve LDH yöntemleri ile incelenmiştir. H.pylori’ye karşı antimikrobiyal etkisini araştırdığımız, Eucalyptus globulus (MIC: 2,81 %v/v, MBC: 5,62 %v/v), Juniperus communis (MIC: 0,35 %v/v, MBC: 0,70 %v/v), Rosmarinus officinalis (MIC: 2,81 %v/v, MBC: 5,62 %v/v) ve Thymus vulgaris (MIC: 0,70 %v/v, MBC: 1,40 %v/v) 'in etkili olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Bunun yanında HUVEC hücre soyu üzerinde Thymus vulgaris bitkisel yağının en yüksek, Eucalyptus globulus bitkisel yağının ise en düşük sitotoksik etkiye sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Authors: Malysheva O. A. 
Published: June 2022

The modern digital transformation of Russian society affects criminal proceedings, which results in the expansion of the scope of application of LegalTech tools in the course of criminal proceedings. The purpose of LegalTech in modern criminal proceedings is to optimize not only the professional activities of the governmental participants in the criminal procedure when they carry out procedural actions and make procedural decisions, but also the procedural mechanism for protecting rights, defending legitimate interests by non-governmental participants in the field of activity under consideration. The results of the analysis of domestic and foreign experience (the Republic of Belarus, Ukraine, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Republic of Finland, and the Swiss Confederation), alongside with the position of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, makes it possible to conclude that the investigator should use a video conference system during interrogation, confrontation, and identification.At the same time, the author presents some arguments confirming the need to implement additional legal, organizational, technological measures in pre-trial proceedings in order to overcome the risks of unjustified restriction of the rights and legitimate interests of participants in these investigative actions.We are talking about expanding the rights of participants in the analyzed investigative actions, clarifying the legal regulation of the procedure for video recording during the production of these actions, regulating the procedural status of the investigator-executor of the order on organizing the participation of a suspect, accused, victim, witness in investigative actions carried out using a video conferencing system, optimizing the technological support of criminal investigation business.The author proposes to expand the procedural guarantees of the rights of certain social groups who, due to their state of health, social immaturity, lack of technical equipment, are not able to perceive the LegalTech technological tools, when an investigator decides on the production of an investigative action using a video conferencing system.

Published: June 2022

For attaining better performance in manufacturing firms, working capital management plays a noteworthy role. The study analyzes the impact of the length of the cash conversion cycle on a firm’s profitability, as a performance measure. For this purpose, data of 31 manufacturing firms in the engineering and textile industries are considered which are listed on Dhaka Stock Exchanges. Relevant data have been collected from the audited financial statements published in the annual reports for the year 2011 of the concerned firms. It is suggested that the firms should try to shorten the length of the cash conversion cycle which will increase the profitability of the firms. Among three components of the cash conversion cycle, the account receivable collection period in days is more crucial for manufacturing firms. To increase sales firms should tradeoff between sales and associated risk before offering credit facilities to their customers. Analyses also reveal that listed engineering firms are more profitable than listed textile firms. The study also proves the positive association between the size of a firm and profitability.

Authors: Zbyrad Teresa 
Published: June 2022

Artykuł powstał na podstawie pamiętników seniorów, których dzieciństwo przypadło na czas II wojny światowej. Lata wojny odcisnęły swoje piętno na życiu tych, którzy doświadczyli tego trudnego okresu. Beztroskie dzieciństwo zostało brutalnie przerwane. Tuż po zakończeniu działań wojennych także nie było łatwo żyć. Dzieci musiały szybko dorastać, wcześniej pracować, w trudnych warunkach zdobywać wykształcenie. Jakość dzieciństwa była warunkowana wieloma czynnikami, takimi jak pochodzenie i położenie społeczne, sytuacja ekonomiczna rodziny, miejsce zamieszkania, sytuacja rodzinna, stan zdrowia. Korelacje tych czynników miały ogromny wpływ na przebieg dzieciństwa. Traumatyczne wspomnienia pozostały w pamięci seniorów. Pamiętniki są bogatym źródłem wiedzy o życiu człowieka, o rodzinie, o trudnościach życia. Stanowią pewnego rodzaju historyczny przekaz bardzo subiektywnych przeżyć, odzwierciedlają miniony czas, aby ukazać realia tamtych zdarzeń młodemu pokoleniu. W ten sposób pełnią funkcję edukacyjną, ale także terapeutyczną dla samych autorów.
