Pedagogical Learning

In order to understand and describe the internationalization behavior of companies, the first research carried out before the 1970s focused on large multinationals whose internationalization strategies were made possible by heavy investments. Other research on the internationalization of SMEs, conducted in the United States and Europe in the early 1980s, has given rise to behavioral models in stages where size is a barrier to internationalization. However, we find that very small businesses (TPE), newly created, inexperienced and with limited resources, internationalize and thwart the classic models of internationalization by scrambling the stages. Age, size and resources are no longer barriers to internationalization. This makes Cavusgil (1980) say that the gradual internationalization of companies has become obsolete. Veilleux and Ferro (2010) confirm that today, between 1 and 2% of new businesses are international when they are created and 76% have export prospects in the first two years. And the majority of research carried out since the 1990s deals with the precocity and rapidity of this internationalization from a point of view external to the company such as the saturation of local and / or national markets, the liberalization of international markets or the aid provided by governments, competitive pressure; and from an internal factors point of view such as the role of the manager and his various experiences, the support of his social networks, the use of new communication and production technologies, the characteristics of the product. However, there are very few works that address the internationalization of these VSEs through pedagogical learning in international entrepreneurship; learning mediated by the University, quickly enabling these companies to position themselves on an international market. The object of this research is precisely the questioning of the relevance of this learning; and this, through our participation in the training "International Entrepreneurship and Development of the Global Enterprise" initiated by the "College of Business" of the University of Indiana (ISU). It is a training program, offered by the ISU "College of Business", bringing together Universities from four other continents: Europe, America, Asia, Africa & l 'Oceania. A mixed group of teacher-researchers and researchers from these different universities benefited from this training program.

On July 3, 2002, fire destroyed a facility that served as both office and computer server room for a College of Business located in the United States. The fire also caused significant smoke damage to the office building where the computer facility was located. The monetary costs of the disaster were over $4 million. This case, written from the point of view of the chairperson of the College Technology Committee, discusses the issues faced by the college as they resumed operations and planned for rebuilding their information technology operations. The almost-total destruction of the college’s server assets offered a unique opportunity to rethink the IT architecture for the college. The reader is challenged to learn from the experiences discussed in the case to develop an IT architecture for the college that will meet operational requirements and take into account the potential threats to the system.

The University of Cincinnati is the birthplace of the paid internship program in the world and it has the most number of compulsory paid internship programs in the United States. Their paid internship education program has rich experience and remarkable results in curriculum arrangement, internship management and government support. However, the internship for vocational colleges in China faces problems such as low enthusiasm from industry, difficulty in internship management and insufficient government support. Drawing on the experience of paid internship education in the United States, the school and the industry jointly planned the internship training program, and finally established a collaboration model that benefits the three parties of the academia, the industry and the students.

Empathy is widely perceived and understood as an unquestioned component of Intercultural Competence (IC). The authors see the ability to empathise with others and to see their point of view as an important condition for developing an ethnorelative viewpoint, and therefore consider it important to incorporate activities into the intercultural communication curriculum that addresses the affective side of IC (Calloway-Thomas, Arasaratnam-Smith, & Deardorff, 2017; Guntersdorfer & Golubeva, 2018). In their paper, the authors discuss the importance of meta-cognitive tasks by creating opportunities for students where they can describe, share, and evaluate emotions. Based on the recommendations made by O’Dowd (2016), Byram, Golubeva, Hui, and Wagner (2017) about designing and implementing virtual exchanges (VEs), the authors present a preliminary framework, i.e. a sequence of self-reflective meta-analysis tasks that they developed for the intercultural VE between students at Ludwig-Maximilians University (LMU) in Germany and their peers at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) in the United States. This framework can be adapted to a variety of online teaching contexts.

The purpose of this article is to give an overview of the actual emergency medical attendance through an exemplary hospital in Hungary, highlighting its possible imperfections which could perhaps be improved through further structural developments. In order to be expressive, the article follows through the journey of two nominal patients who turned up in the emergency department of the hospital. The importance of this topic is expressed by the fitful judgment of the emergency attendance. Emergency service had already existed in the United States, only later then did the one-entrance service system start to develop Hungary. In some places this system has been working well for decades, but for instance at the University of Szeged – due to the uncertain judgment of the system – the construction is just being finalized, right at the time when such studies are published that question the reason of existence of the emergency departments – at least in their actual form.

From the precision agriculture point of view, by the rapid development of the investigated technological elements – global positioning system (GPS), remote sensing (RS), global information system (GIS) – the number of services, which were not available in the past, because of their speed, complexity or price are increasing. The high accuracy high-tech instruments provide opportunity to elaborate several fruit production technologies, which aim is creating and operating water and energy safe quality fruit production systems. To evaluate these possibilities, experience was carried out in the Study and Regional Research Farm of the University of Debrecen near Pallag with the use of a GreenSeeker 505 Hand Held™ Optical Sensor Unit, and its interface the Trimble AgGPS FmX Integrated Display board computer, and a ScanStation C10 laser scanner by Leica. The results show the absolute applicability of these equipments in precision horticulture.

VIGNETTE LXXIV. William Thomas Hobdell Jackson, Executive Council member, 1960-63, is a native of Sheffield, England. His B.A. degree (1935) is from Sheffield University with First Class honors in the classics. His M.A. (1938) is from the same university. He was a Captain, Royal Artillery, General Staff, in the British Army 1940-46, and emigrated to the United States in 1948. He taught German at the Univ. of Washington, 1948-50, where he took his Ph.D. in Germanics in 1951. He taught for two years at Coe College, then came to Columbia in 1952, where he has been Chairman of the Department of Germanic Languages since 1961. There he has also been chairman of the University Seminar in Medieval Studies, 1955-62, editor of the Germanic Review since 1954, and editor of the Columbia Records of Civilization since 1962. We first met him dining a Conference of Editors of Learned Journals in 1956 and were impressed with his ability to share his editorial experience with his compeers, yet maintain his individual point of view. He has been a Guggenheim Fellow (1958–59), a recipient of of an ACLS grant (1958), and has been tapped as visiting professor at Chicago, Princeton, and Rutgers. His teaching fields are Comparative Literature of the Middle Ages (for the Columbia English Department), Medieval Latin, Paleography, and the History of the German Language. He drives an English car (surprise, surprise) and is fond of horseback-riding, sailing, and boxing. He relaxes over fine wines (of which he is a connoisseur) and fine cheeses. His summer habitat is his place at Quonochontaug, Rhode Island, perched upon a sandbar between a salt pond and the ocean.

UNSTRUCTURED Ransomware attacks, such as Conti, Ryuk, Petya, and Sodinokibi, that target medical institutions are increasing rapidly. In 2020, in the United States., ransomware attacks affected over 600 separate clinics, hospitals, and organizations, and more than 18 million patient records. The cost of these attacks is estimated to be almost $21 billion USD [1]. The first death related to ransomware attacks was reported by the University Hospital of Düsseldorf in Germany in 2020. The aim of this literature is to study vulnerabilities of cybersecurity in medical institutions, characteristics of ransomware aimed at medical institutions, and technical measures to prevent ransomware. From a security point of view, one of the most important targets of hackers against hospitals is medical devices. Many medical devices in hospitals are equipped with outdated software that is vulnerable to security and have many restrictions on security patches/updates. In addition, it is not easy to install even security functions such as antivirus due to the specificity of medical devices where availability is most important. As introduced in the Medjack report issued by TrapX Labs, in many cases, attackers target medical devices that are relatively insecure and then penetrate deep into more critical network infrastructure, such as EMR servers [2]. In this literature, we discuss various considerations to respond to ransomware while ensuring the availability of medical devices, and present AI-MDIPS (AI-based medical device intrusion prevention system) technology, a non-invasive and manageable security technology applicable to medical devices developed by the Korean government
