Basically in conducting a study there are problems that can be used as a means toachieve a goal or goal in the study. Everyone who conducts research must have their ownmethod, concept, or method in formulating the problem that is the object of the research. In thispaper will explain the techniques or ways that can be done in relation to formulating problems inresearch including determining a topic to be discussed in research, making backgroundproblems, explaining problem identification, limiting the scope of research, determiningproblems that are worthy of research, making questions in research, and determine the goals,benefits, and uses of the research. With the concept of planning and mature thinking toformulate and determine the formulation of the problem, it is expected that the research that willbe conducted will be focused and directed so that it does not extend to the discussion that is notthe topic of his research. With the formulation of this problem also the reader becomes aware ofthe results and objectives to be conveyed in a study. Therefore in this study we will discuss thesteps or ways in preparing the formulation of a problem that is good and right in order tofacilitate the implementation of a research activity.

In 2014, the UK-based Nuffield Council on Bioethics carried out a series of engagement activities, including an online survey to which 970 people responded, and 15 discussion events at universities around the UK to explore the culture of research in the UK and its effect on ethical conduct in science and the quality of research. The findings of the project were published in December 2014 and the main points are summarised here. We found that scientists are motivated in their work to find out more about the world and to benefit society, and that they believe collaboration, multidisciplinarity, openness and creativity are important for the production of high quality science. However, in some cases, our findings suggest, the culture of research in higher education institutions does not support or encourage these goals or activities. For example, high levels of competition and perceptions about how scientists are assessed for jobs and funding are reportedly contributing to a loss of creativity in science, less collaboration and poor research practices. The project led to suggestions for action for funding bodies, research institutions, publishers and editors, professional bodies and individual researchers.

Abstract Performance-based research funding systems have become popular over the last decades. One of the main reasons for these funding systems is to allow funding bodies to allocate public research funds more effectively based on the assessed quality. However, the performance-based research funding received by higher education institutes (HEIs) not only depends on the quality of research activity carried out but also on the funding formula used by funding bodies. This article examines the funding formula used by Research England (RE) and assesses the effect of this formula on quality-related research (QR) funding allocation using data of mainstream QR funding allocation for the 2017–18 period. RE’s funding formula includes some value judgements by policymakers such as allocation of fourfold QR funding to ‘world-leading’ research compared to ‘internationally-excellent’ research, and the use of different subject cost weights. These value judgements play an important role in the allocation of QR funding beyond the assessed quality of research. This article finds that changes in some of these value judgments such as allocation of threefold (rather than fourfold) QR funding to world-leading research compared to internationally excellent research, or the use of alternative subject cost weights lead to major changes in the allocation of QR funding to different subject areas and HEIs. Results suggest that these value judgments are also important beyond the assessed quality of research, and that consultation of different subject areas and HEIs about these decisions and re-evaluation of some of these value judgements are needed for a more accountable distribution of QR funding.

This study, based on interaction university-industry (IUI), aims to enhance competitiveness in higher education. Some critical factors were considered, namely Human Capital, Absorptive Capacity, Quality of Research, and Differences of cultures. Through a Systems Dynamics approach, it is perceived that low education and training in IUI origins decreases technological competence and absorptive capacity. It also creates distance between the actors, inhibits risk propensity, and does not accelerate the technology transfer, the economic growth, and the competitiveness. After a literature review, followed by a qualitative research with 25 companies already cooperating with HEI, the results show that improving Human Capital and Absorptive Capacity, as well as reducing the Differences of cultures between university and industry, accelerate economic growth and increase competitiveness and internationalization. Quality of life is improved and a more developed, prosperous, and sustainable society is built.

Xi’an Jiaotong–Liverpool University (XJTLU) is a young Sino-English university in Suzhou, China. It is a pioneer in making China rather than foreign universities the center of China’s internationalization process. The chapter discusses the background of XJTLU’s location and successful development, measured in terms of breadth of teaching experience, quality of research and teaching, and rising international reputation. For personal and internationalization reasons, there is special attention given to the International Business School Suzhou (IBSS) as the most important department of XJTLU. We analyze long-term demographic challenges facing all Chinese institutes of higher education, followed by a discussion of XJTLU-specific organizational challenges (regarding mutual dependencies, human resources, and correct incentives) and cooperation challenges (relative to its parent institutions and local government).

Aimhigher was discontinued on 31 July 2011. This paper reviews the literature analysing its contribution to widening participation to higher education in the UK. Successes of Aimhigher are considered alongside its challenges; particularly the necessity to situate policy within the diverse demands of 42 areas covering England. These issues are considered in the context of wider contemporary debates concerning the quality of research into widening participation and instruments used to evaluate policy. Four strands of literature are identified and analysed: Aimhigher's impact and evaluation, its effectiveness in targeting beneficiaries, the progression and tracking of students and policy.

The implementation of Professional Advocate Certification is deemed to be incompatible with the standards in organizing professional education as regulated by Law no. 20 of 2003 on the National Education System and Law no. 12 of 2012 on Higher Education, causing uncertainty and unscrupulous on the quality of prospective advocates, detrimental to the legal environment in whole. The Profession of Advocates possesses a strategic position in law enforcement to uphold justice, therefore this occupation is known to be a noble profession (offi cium nobile). The problem formulation in this research is to set the framework of implementing Professional Advocate Certifi cation to maintain the professionalism and integrity of advocates and to organize the implementation of Professional Advocate Certifi cation in the coming days. With the use of normative approach as the method of research by utilizing statutory regulations, court decisions, and legal concepts, this study found that Professional Advocate Certifi cation must be carried out in collaboration with universities in accordance with the mandate of the Constitutional Court Decision (MKRI) No. 95/PUU-XIV/2016 date 23rd of May 2017, Decision Number 46 P/HUM/2019, Thursday, 26th of September 2019 and Decision Number 87 P/HUM/2019 on the date 13th of December 2019 and Regulation of the Minister of Research, Technology, and Higher Education Number 5 of 2019. Therefore, it is crucial to accomplish fundamental changes concerning the implementation of advocate professional education by constructing curriculum changes leading up to the integrity and expertise in maintaining the noble reputation of the advocates’ role (officium nobile).
