Modern life is improving as a result of the research that corporations, research centres, and universities, in particular, conduct. Moreover, besides their teaching function, the quantity and quality of universities’ research activities comprise an essential criterion for measuring the university’s quality. Today, universities around the world face global competition. Although one facet of the effort to attract productive researchers entails offering more and more, individual incentives are not enough. Universities must also create an attractive academic environment for researchers. This study sought answers to the following question: “What incentives and requirements are necessary to create a productive academic environment?” As the result of a literature review in pursuit of the study aim, the study findings include a total of 10 incentives for researchers and requirements for universities to build a productive research environment in academia.

The article is devoted to the analysis tools for assessing human capital based on world rankings in the context of sustainable development. The most famous world rankings of human capital, studied by such international organizations as the World Bank, the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, the University of Groningen in collaboration with the University of California at Davis and others, are considered. Quantifying human capital as the economic and social value of a skill set is measured through an index. Each organization makes measurements according to its own method. The application of different criteria and indicators for assessing human capital at the macroeconomic level is analyzed. The considered assessment methodologies are overwhelmingly based on statistical approaches. Analyzed the position of Ukraine in the world rankings in recent years in dynamics. It has been confirmed that these international ratings can be considered as a reflection of the state of human capital in Ukraine. Revealed quite high rating positions of Ukraine in comparison with other countries. The results allow us to conclude that there is insufficient government funding for the development of human capital. It is concluded that Ukraine needs to improve the quality of human capital as a leading factor in increasing the efficiency of the country's economy in the context of sustainable development. The study showed that the use of high-quality, highly qualified human capital leads to an improvement in the country's position in the world rankings.

Seabed Sediments

Abstract. A global seabed sediment map has been developed since 1995 to provide a necessary tool for different needs. This project is not completely original since it had already been done in 1912 when the French hydrographic Office and the University of Nancy produced sedimentary maps of the European and North American coasts. Seabed sediments is one of the last geographical domains which can’t benefit of satellite data. Without this contribution, sediment maps need to use very old data mixed with the new ones to be able to reach the goal of a global map. In general, sediment maps are made with the latest available techniques and are replaced after a few decades, thus generating new cartographic works as if all the previous efforts had become useless. Such approach underestimates the quality of past works and prevents to have maps covering large areas. The present work suggests to standardize all kind of sedimentary data from different periods and from very different acquisition systems and integrate them into a single product. This process has already been done for bathymetric data of marine charts, we discuss in this article of the application of this method at a global scale for sediment data.

This paper presents the strategy of Diponegoro University to increase its research productivity towards the world-class university. Bibliometric indicators are employed to characterize the research activities of Diponegoro University, Indonesia with production in the period of 2014-2018 in publications that are indexed in the Scopus database. The number of documents and their comparison with other universities, and productive authors are of particular interest. The results reflect that the university documents improve significantly during the research time frame. In comparison with other top ten universities in Indonesia, for the last five years, Diponegoro University has achieved the fastest rate of publication (up to 471%). However, compared to other universities in neighboring countries, Diponegoro University is still left behind. In addition, it is shown that prolific authors contributing to documents in Scopus are uneven in terms of origin of faculty. Based on these results, a recommendation with respect to the research productivity is discussed in this paper.

Universities play an important role in the economic development - knowledge economy. Previous studies proposition that universities significantly contribute to the economic development of the countries. Countries implement policies to efficiently connect higher education and the economy. This study explores the relationships between the university performances measured by the world university rankings and the gross domestic product. We employed the data from the World Bank and two university rankings for a period of 2011-2016. We ran correlation analysis followed by t-test analysis for confirming the linear and non-linear relationship. For robustness, we used chi-squared test for independence. The result shows there is a positive non-linear relationship between university performances and GDP. Indicators for citation and research suggests the quality of the research matters more than the mere research and publications. We may conclude that the “research quality” of the university intensive in researching can contribute indirectly to the economic development of the countries.

In 1921, at a time when Charles Best was only 22 years of age, there appeared in the Medical Building of the University of Toronto a notice which read: ‘University of Toronto Physiological Journal Club Nov. 14th — 4 o’clock — Room 17 Speakers — Dr. Banting Mr. Best Subject — Pancreatic Diabetes’. In this quiet fashion a medical revolution was foreshadowed which ultimately made possible the enjoyment of life, in good health, of millions of diabetic people who otherwise, before 1922, would have faced an early death . In 1972 Dr C. H. Best himself estimated that ‘approximately one hundred and thirty million people have taken insulin since 1922. Some of them have lived 50 years’ (30). To have been the joint discoverer of insulin at the outset of a career in medical science might have been a disability for one w ho aim ed at making subsequent discoveries, but the account that follows later of his research activities shows that this was not so for Charles Best. In a foreword to a Festschrift for Charles Herbert Best which was published in 1968 the Chancellor of the University of Toronto, Dr O. M. Solandt, wrote ‘Most scientists who make discoveries, even ones that lead to important end products, have little contact with those whom they help. Probably all of us have benefited greatly from the work of Einstein, but I doubt if he was stopped on the street by people w ho wanted to thank him personally for the great effect that the theory of general relativity had on their lives. The discovery of insulin was different. Literally millions of diabetics all over the world feel personally indebted to Banting and Best. As with Dr Banting, wherever Dr Best has gone he has been engulfed by an intense personal recognition of himself and his work. He has received quite exceptional public as well as professional acclaim for his achievements.’ But such acclaim did not induce him to rest upon his laurels, as might easily have been true for many others.

As Malaysia continues to focus its efforts on becoming an education hub, universities are vital places where learning processes, teaching and research activities are conducted. A university is a factor of production in producing graduates, and the university buildings are considered to be assets and resources. Hence, to prolong a university building lifecycle to ensure all university activities continue performing at an optimum level, building maintenance management is vital. Despite the fact that several previous studies have been conducted in this area, there continues to be maintenance issues surrounding university buildings. The maintenance of university buildings has always been viewed as an insignificant activity. Therefore, the objective of this paper was to critically review key factors that affected maintenance costs of university buildings, and consequently propose different approaches to resolve this issue. The present paper reviewed related literature from previous studies and publications. As a result of the comprehensive review, it was identified that key factors that affected university building maintenance costs were fund allocations allocated by university management teams for maintenance departments, user behaviours, environmental factors, university design complexities and the quality of components and materials of university buildings. Each factor identified was critically examined and addressed to ensure that university buildings would be well-maintained.

Recently, the trend of university autonomy is seen as a solution to promote the development of universities, improve the quality of education and contribute to the training of high–quality human resources for the country. So how should university autonomy be recognized, evaluated, and development-oriented? Is university autonomy aimed at promoting corporate governance towards corporate governance as a solution to today’s problems? This article aims to assess the current state of university governance in Vietnam and the world. Studies related to the university governance model, which is in the direction of corporate governance – are also analyzed and discussed. This article proposes a model to help standardize modern governance activities according to corporate governance, limit unnecessary overlap between unrelated departments in university activities, thereby promoting the development of universities in the future.

The fundamental activity enabling the revival of the university ethos is to reconsider the specific mission of the university in times of changing reality. One commonly experiences the divergence between values and principles that traditionally referred to the idea of the university and its ethos, and the practice of entangling the world of science in the sphere of politics, ideology and business. On the other hand, there are noticeable actions demonstrting the ability of self-assessment and self-report: the disclosure of scientific fraud, publicity of conflicts of interest, struggle for scientific independence and autonomy of the university, dissemination of good manners in science. The situation requires from academic communities to redefine the ideal of the university that will determine its contemporary identity, mission, and the quality of its ethos.

The development programs of Russian universities contain many different target indicators. Many of these indicators are focused on the development of the research activities. In the context of limited financial resources for development, the question of an effective system of target indicators is very important. To construct such a system of target indicators, three conditions must be met: 1) these target indicators do not contradict each other; 2) there are indicators with a positive effect on economic indicators; 3) subject areas are taken into account.The aim of the research. This study is aimed to study linear correlation dependencies between the main indicators measuring the university’s publication activity and other scientometric, social and structural indicators.Materials and methods. The study used economic, structural and scientometric data for 49 largest universities in Russia over 4 years, downloaded from monitoring the performance of educational institutions of higher education and the SciVal analytical tool.Results. As part of the research, it was studied which variables are correlated with the taken scientometric variables. Due to the large number of variables involved in the primary analysis, the table contains only those variables that correlate with the variables under consideration with a correlation coefficient of more than 0.3 modulus.Conclusion. The results obtained allow both to resolve the contradiction of the simultaneous increase in the number and quality of publications, and to highlight a number of links between scientometric indicators and indicators of university economics, internationalization and quality of admission. Knowledge of these dependencies is useful for compiling university development programs that do not contain internal contradictions. The conclusions obtained make it possible to increase the efficiency of construction a system of university target indicators in the research field in three areas: compiling the university development program with consistent target indicators, the inclusion of indicators with a positive impact on economic indicators, taking into account the peculiarities of the field of science and education in which the university operates.
