<p>Studies show that knowledge management is associated with intellectual capital; however,<br />is not clear how this relationship occurs. The objective of this research is to know the degree of association between knowledge management and intellectual capital. We<br />obtained as empirical evidence 50 Tequila companies of the State of Jalisco, Mexico. We found positive and significant levels of correlation between the above variables; as well<br />as significant values of influence of the knowledge management on intellectual capital, through the use of control variables such as the size of the company and area of trade, through a correlational, and quantitative research with a non-experimental design, where the correlation of Pearson, multiple regression and hierarchical regression were used.</p>

This concluding chapter provides final remarks on the theoretical, legal, and practical challenges of European antitrust criminalization. It also determines five different research questions that should be addressed by future researchers. First, more detailed, reliable empirical evidence on the motivations of cartelists and whether or not they act in accordance with the rationality assumption of deterrence theory is required. Second, detailed qualitative and quantitative research concerning the usefulness of information exchange within the European Competition Network (ECN) would also be useful. Third, empirical evidence should be generated concerning whether consumers actually assume that their suppliers are not engaged in cartel activity with their competitors. Fourth, empirical studies on the extent to which risk aversion is a characteristic of corporate entities need to be pursued. Finally, empirical evidence on the cultural sensitivity of perceptions of cartel activity among the citizens of the different EU Member States would be welcome.

The study contributes by providing empirical evidence on the extent to which financial and non-financial factors affect the size of the board of director of listed firms in Vietnam. Based on the data from 80 listed firms on the Vietnam’s stock market in 11 years from 2007-2017, using quantitative research method. We concluded that financial and non-financial factors affect board independence of listed firms in Vietnam. From the research results, it is recommended that listed companies have reasonable and effective corporate management policies, consistent with accounting policies at enterprises.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to reflect upon experiences of measuring the influences of the Recovery Academy within Greater Manchester Mental Health (GMMH) NHS Foundation Trust amongst a student population of health professionals. This paper aims to present considerations for future quantitative research surrounding the efficacy of Recovery Colleges such as the Recovery Academy. Design/methodology/approach This paper utilised baseline data collected from health professionals as part of a quantitative evaluation of the Recovery Academy. The paper discusses challenges experienced in measuring change amongst this student population within GMMH. Findings Health professionals reported positive attitudes towards recovery at baseline presenting challenges in measuring attitudinal change associated with the Recovery Academy. The experiences of conducting research amongst health professionals within GMMH offers insights into the selection and use of self-report measures in Recovery College research; the representativeness of health professional student populations; and models of course attendance within Recovery Colleges. Originality/value The existing literature specific to Recovery College influences upon health professionals remains predominantly qualitative and anecdotal. It is important to gather empirical evidence regarding Recovery Colleges to establish their ability to re-orientate health professionals around principles of recovery. This paper therefore offers considerations for future researchers aiming to gather empirical evidence which may facilitate quantitative evaluations of Recovery Colleges such as the Recovery Academy amongst staff populations.

Digital Representations

Abstract Mathematics undergraduates often encounter a variety of digital representations which are more idiosyncratic than the ones they have experienced in school and which often require the use of more sophisticated digital tools. This article analyses a collection of digital representations common to undergraduate dynamical systems courses, considers the significant ways in which the representations are interconnected and examines how they are similar or differ from those students are likely to have experienced at school. A key approach in the analysis is the identification of mathematical objects corresponding to manipulative elements of the representations that are most essential for typical exploratory tasks. As a result of the analysis, augmentations of familiar representations are proposed that address the gap between local and global perspectives, and a case is made for greater use of isoperiodic diagrams. In particular, these diagrams are proposed as a new stimulus for students to generate their own explorations of fundamental properties of the Mandelbrot set. The ideas presented are expected to inform the practice of teachers seeking to develop visually rich exploratory tasks which pre-empt some of the issues of instrumentation that mathematics undergraduates experience when introduced to new digital tools. The overarching aim is to address significant questions concerning visualization and inscriptions in mathematics education.

The Impact

The effects of the Covid-19 pandemic have penetrated all aspects of human life, including education. One of the pandemic consequences is that universities require that lectures be carried out online, where may affect student learning outcomes. This study aimed at determining the impact of online lectures during the Covid-19 pandemic on the professional competence of students as mathematics pre-service teacher at the Muhammadiyah University of Purworejo. This was quantitative research. The population were the first semester students in 2020 at the Mathematics Education Department of Muhammadiyah University of Purworejo. The research sample was taken through random cluster sampling, including 30 students from the population. The data were obtained using a professional competency test instrument. The data processing method used one-sample average statistical test by comparing with the professional competency scores of students in 2018. Based on the study results, it was found that there was a significant decrease in the professional competency scores of Mathematics Education students whose lectures were conducted online during the Covid-pandemic 19 compared to the professional competency scores of Mathematics Education students whose lectures were conducted face-to-face.

Recommendations made by policy makers, increasing competitive pressure and growing popularity of digital media among participants of teaching processes contribute to their increasingly extensive use at Polish universities. The fact that the teaching processes has entered the new, digital dimension reveals the need for information concerning the relevance of use of electronic media, especially from the perspective of achieving learning outcomes. Given the above, the purpose of this paper is to present results of research on opinions of both students and academics on the need and significanceof the application of digital media in the learning processes.For the purposes of the article, a quantitative research was conducted among 86 students and 66 teachers from University of Economics in Katowice. The data was collected in April 2015 using an online surveying technique and analyzed using statistical description.In the light of our results, the application of electronic media seems to not only be imposed by macro- and micro-environmental conditions, but also to be expected by the main participants of educational processes taking place at university level. The results show that both groups of respondents consider the use of digital media at least as advisable for the achievement of learning outcomes (71.8% of responses covered labels: advisable, recommended or required). However, the level of necessity is slightly higher when digital tools are used by students (80.7%) than by teachers (70.3%). In general, multimedia presentations have been identifiedas the most required form of digital media application in teaching at the university.
