Professional Psychologists

Professionals in Canada are regulated by provincial/territorial bodies that have their own requirements for licensing and registration. Because these requirements vary tremendously across jurisdictions, the ability of Canadians to work anywhere in the country is greatly limited. In response to pressures for greater mobility, federal, provincial and territorial governments agreed in 1994 to take steps to remove or reduce barriers to the movement of workers in Canada. Under this agreement, regulatory bodies within each jurisdiction were asked to comply voluntarily with the obligations of the agreement or else the government would adopt and maintain measures to ensure such compliance. To address the issue of mobility, Canadian psychologists have taken a competency approach. This paper presents the template that provided a common framework or language for the mutual recognition of competencies for the purpose of mobility in Canada and the results of this process as reflected in the Mutual Recognition Agreement signed by the Canadian regulatory bodies of psychologists in June 2001. The paper also highlights the role of accreditation of training programs in the recognition of professional psychologists for the purpose of mobility and the influence that training programs may have on standards for licensure or registration.

The Village

A fundamental change in the government system in Indonesia after the reforms is the implementation of decentralization and real regional autonomy. Giving village funds is a form of fulfilling the village's rights for the implementation of its own autonomy to grow and develop following diversity, participation, autonomy, empowerment, democratization of the community and increasing the role of the village government in order to provide services and improve the welfare of the community in areas that are adrift . Therefore, this study aims to reveal the impact of village fund policies on improving people's welfare and reducing unemployment in Ponggok Village, Tegalrejo Village, and Kalangan Klaten Village. Ponggok village was chosen because it is a pilot village that has managed to manage village funds provided for the welfare of its people. Ponggok Village uses its village funds to provide infrastructure to support the sustainability of Ponggok Tourism Village, conduct training programs, toilets for each house, as well as other assistance that can improve the welfare of its citizens, and the entire community participates in the programs. As a result, the program can significantly reduce unemployment. Tegalrejo Village uses its village funds to improve village infrastructure and train its community. Desa Kalangan uses its village funds to improve village infrastructure, reforestation, training and community development. However, the results of the management of the village fund of the two villages have not been able to improve the economy and reducing unemployment, due to the lack of community participation in the programs being implemented. Keywords: regional autonomy, village funds, community welfare, unemployment

Competency Based

Objectives: The transition to competency-based education and restraints on trainee work hours necessitates re-evaluation of resident education. The role of learning style in plastic surgery residency training has not been investigated. The objective of this study was to identify the learning styles of plastic surgeons and trainees in Canadian Plastic Surgery programs. Methods: A cross-sectional electronic survey was distributed to all members of the Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons and through program directors at Canadian training programs. Basic demographics were captured. The Kolb Learning Style Inventory was used to identify each individual’s learning style (converging, accommodative, assimilative, or divergent).  Results: There were a total of 98 respondents (15% response rate), including 62 staff plastic surgeons (63%) and 36 trainees (37%). All regions of Canada and age categories were well represented. The most dominant learning styles were convergent (47%) and accommodative (29%). No significant difference in dominant learning styles existed between age groups; while males were more commonly convergent learners, females were accommodative learners.   Conclusions: The majority of plastic surgery trainees and staff have learning styles that rely heavily on practical application and experiential learning. Accounting for this propensity towards convergent and accommodative learning styles should be incorporated into training programs to maximize efficacy of learning.

The Relationship

As many studies indicate, BRICS and emerging economies, especially those with a colonial past from Asia and Africa, have traditionally witnessed an exodus of students and researchers seeking opportunities in established universities outside their home country to develop their academic careers. However, a culmination of democratic values, aspirations of citizens from these countries, and globalization have resulted in the need for world-class universities in BRICS and emerging economies. While resources are important, the relationship between the government/regulatory bodies and universities warrants serious examination. Understanding and facilitating the role of faculty (staff), students, researchers, and international collaboration will remain important.

Subject EU-Swiss bilateral relations. Significance The relationship between Switzerland and the EU is functional but difficult. Despite some progress on the Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) that secures market access for a range of products, a breakthrough is still needed on the most important issue, the institutional framework for sectoral agreements. Negotiations have slowed and the Swiss government faces difficult decisions on the right timing and strategy. Impacts The Swiss government’s decision to resume discussions on new 'cohesion payments' to the EU is likely to create goodwill in Brussels. In the short term, Switzerland's economy and trade are unlikely to suffer from the stalemate in the Swiss-EU political relationship. With Ignazio Cassis as foreign minister, the government is likely to become more sceptical of the EU.

Emergency use authorization of medical products by the regulatory agencies is not a usual procedure; it happens to cope with unanticipated health emergencies affecting a large group of population, these can be because of outbreak agents like virus, bacteria, etc., which can cause contagious diseases. Contagious diseases are classified into an outbreak, epidemic and pandemic disease, based on size and intensity of spread of the disease. Epidemic and Pandemic disease conditions such as CoVID-19 will trigger the emergency use authorization of products that help in the control, prevention and/or cure for the disease. EMA and FDA are well known advanced regulatory bodies, with eminent procedures for approval of the medication, harmonization of the standards as per the global regulatory acceptance. However, there are some differences between the two, in case of initiating the procedure, timelines, data required for approval of products under the emergency use. This article focuses on emergency approval of medications, regulations involved in the approval of medications and vaccines by EMA and FDA, some of the important data companies or sponsors need to submit to the regulatory bodies for approval, verification procedure and timelines for evaluation of manufacturer submitted data.

This paper analyzes the problem of technological backwardness of economy. In many mostly developing countries their economies use obsolete technologies. This can create the illusion that this or that business is prosperous. At the level of international competition, however, it is obvious that these types of firms do not have any chance for success. Retroeconomics as a theory of technological backwardness and its detrimental effect upon a country’s economy is considered in the paper. The role of the government is very important for overcoming the effects of retroeconomy. The phenomenon of retroeconomy is already quite deep-rooted throughout the world and it is essential to consolidate the attention of economists and politicians on this threat.
