Purpose: to assess the subjective perception of flatfoots prevalence in children, its age dynamics and the main approaches to the diagnosis and treatment by doctors of various pediatric specialties with different medical experience and working in medical facilities at various levels by anonymous questionnaire. Materials and methods. Questionnaire data from 80 orthopedists (50 outpatient doctors, 30 doctors from a specialized scientific research institute and orthopedic departments of city hospitals (research institutes / hospitals) and 30 neurologists (polyclinic). Results: our study demonstrated that outpatient orthopedists diagnose the flatfoot on average in half of the cases. The orthopedists diagnose flatfoot only by means of visual examination in 46.1% of cases (neurologists in 85.7% of cases). According to our data, 58.9 % of outpatient doctors recommend wearing special orthopedic shoes (46.1 % only if the foot alone is affected) and 95.1 % of specialists recommend wearing individual orthopedic insoles (53.6 % if there are complaints). While 88.2 % of the orthopedic surgeons from specialized research institutes and hospitals do not recommend wearing orthopedic shoes; 26.7 % of experts recommend wearing individual orthopedic insoles only in the presence of complaints. On the other hand, the neurologists recommend wearing orthopedic shoes 5.3 times more often than the orthopedists do. Conclusion: our study demonstrates that the specialty of the doctor (orthopedist, neurologist) and the type of health care facilities in which the specialist works have the greatest impact on his subjective perception of the prevalence and age dynamics of flatfoot in children, tactics of diagnostics and treatment. The outpatient orthopedists diagnose flatfoot 4.2 times more often than the orthopedic surgeons from the specialized research institute and hospitals. Also, the outpatient orthopedists prescribe wearing orthopedic shoes 4.9 times more often (insoles 3.6 times more often) in comparison with the orthopedic surgeons of the specialized research institute and orthopedic hospitals. Summarizing the above mentioned, we would like to note that due to the fact that the current assessment of the age limits of the arch height feet is ambiguous, there is a need to introduce a unified system for assessing the foots shape and posture with defining the concepts of average height and typically developing foot.

Access to external sources of technical knowledge is one of the keys to staying innovative for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The literature suggests that SMEs with a weak internal R&D capacity do not make much use of institutional sources like research institutes and universities. In this paper I investigate how trade associations can induce member SMEs to use a research institute. The case of a public research institute and SMEs in the textile industry in Kyoto, Japan is examined. Evidence from the case suggests that trade associations facilitate the use of the institute by expressing a collective ‘voice’ to the management of the institute. The effect is evident among active members in the use of services involving a large information gap as to their benefits. I also consider a shortcoming of the collective approach and suggest some measures to be taken on the part of research institutes.

The article presents the results of a study of the scientific diaspora of the PushchinoResearch Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences (PRC RAS): the geography of the distribution of representatives by country and organization, as well as their scientific success and implementation. Using the example of one of the research institutes of the Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Biochemistry and Physiology of Microorganisms of the Russian Academy of Sciences, it is shown in which directions the representatives of the scientific diaspora of this research institute are developing. As a result of the study, it was found that representatives of the foreign diaspora and their Russian colleagues work in parallel in the same scientific areas. As a result of the study, it turned out that only a little more than a quarter of all emigrating specialists achieved tangible successes in the scientific field, and more than a third altogether stopped doing science. The study is based on the integrated use of scientometric, bibliometric, bibliographic, factographic and sociological methods.

Introduction:The natural disasters of the earthquake and tsunami occurred in Palu, on September 28, 2018, at around 17.02 WIB. The earthquake measured 7.7 magnitude with the epicenter at a depth of 10 km in the direction of 27 km northeast of the city of Donggala, followed by a tsunami along the coast of Talise town of Palu. Some of the victims of the disaster have died, and in addition to many deaths, there were reported trauma cases such as fractures, torn wounds, and other injuries where many did not receive medical help.Aim:To revitalize hospitals in Palu with the medical assistance team.Methods:Sardjito hospital formed a medical team sent to the disaster area which consisted of 22 members from various disciplines (anesthetists, orthopedic surgeons, general surgeons, neurosurgeons, internal medicine doctors, pediatricians, general practitioners, anesthesia nurses, emergency nurses, surgical room nurses, sanitarians, sterilization officer, technical officers, and nutrition officers). The ICS informed the targets of this emergency response that the following must be accomplished within 2 weeks: revitalize the health care facilities and deliver health care. The sanitarian officer coordinated dealing with the problem of the former corpse in Bhayangkara Hospital by doing disinfectants in the area of the former mortuary. Sardjito Hospital’s medical team revitalized health services in Bhayangkara Hospital by providing 24-hour emergency services and surgery.Results:The medical team of Sardjito general Hospital gave medical service in Bhayangkara Hospital and Torabello Regional Hospital. The total number of treated patients was 158, and most cases of surgery were orthopedics.

Purpose Key performance indicators (KPIs) are in use to determine how and the extent to which the business objectives of an organization are achieved. This paper aims to evaluate the contribution of a research institute in terms of KPIs to support its process of decision-making towards, etc., innovation, sustainability and improvement. Design/methodology/approach In light of this, a systemic review was conducted on a set of relevant scholarly studies to identify the trends which shed light on the possible critical success factors to be effectively used in research institutes in association with the development of commercial agriculture. It examines whether, and if so how KPIs that are highly associated with those critical success factors are disruptive in research culture in an institute with certain organization design to promote research on innovative commercial agriculture. Findings The study highlighted some important aspects of commercial agriculture that showed strong links with possible critical success factors that could be used to develop a possible KPI set for a research institute. The salient features in a model performance management system with such KPIs of a research institute having strategical contribution for commercial agriculture are further elaborated. Originality/value This manuscript is a conceptual piece that advocates research institutes geared towards commercial agriculture development to begin using KPIs as part of research culture to evaluate their success. The paper suggests that commercial agriculture – perhaps, especially in developing countries – faces many challenges and using KPIs could help diagnose when and why essential processes break down. This study shows possible avenues of KPI use in research institutes that have not been very well discussed or discussed meagerly that have high potential to be integrated into successful KPIs towards innovative commercial agriculture.

Purpose – This paper aims to help research managers design the performance management process and select measures and indicators, which relate to the strategies of their organisations directly. Design/methodology/approach – In this paper, we will propose strategy maps for national research institutes (NRIs), so that the managers can describe the strategies of their organisations more clearly, accurately and logically. Also, we will propose a new method to set targets for key performance indicators (KPIs), which is named “Forecasting-Objective Achievement System (FOAS)”. Findings – The authors have explored the general rules of the research activity and proposed the strategic map for NRIs, so that the research managers can more clearly, accurately and logically describe the strategy for the organisational development strategy, and build the performance measurement indicators based on it. It allows the managers to transfer the strategy into clear and concrete action initiatives, and the corresponding performance evaluation indicators. Also, this paper proposed a new method for target-setting for performance indicator to drive NRIs do their best to achieve high performance. Research limitations/implications – First, this paper proposes a framework of strategy maps for NRIs to transfer the strategy into clear and concrete action initiatives, and the corresponding performance evaluation indicators. Also, this paper gives a case study of a research institute in the field of physics to derive KPIs based on its strategy maps, which can show the effectiveness of this approach. But this institute conducts mainly the basic research, and there are other NRIs with different types of research, such as applied research, which have different characteristics with the NRI in the case study. Originality/value – The authors propose the specific strategy maps for NRIs and a new method to set targets for KPIs. Further, the example of a national research institute is taken to analyze its strategy map and construct a performance measurement indicator system for it, so that the strategies in research management can be transferred to specific action initiatives. New ideas are provided for the performance measurement of national research institutes.
