Background: Guidelines of neonatal resuscitation are revised regularly. Gaps in knowledge transfer commonly occur when the guidelines are communicated to the clinical practitioners. Maintaining body temperature and supporting oxygenation are main goals that clinical practitioners aim to achieve in assisting newborns during the feto-neonatal transition at birth. Objectives: In this study, we aim to examine the compliance to guidelines in neonatal resuscitation regarding the temperature maintenance and oxygen use in newborns at birth. Methods: From October to November 2013, a prospective questionnaire surveillance was conducted in all attended deliveries at all four hospitals in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. All clinical practitioners (registered nurses, physicians and respiratory therapists) were requested to complete the questionnaires immediately after the attended delivery regarding temperature maintenance and oxygenation monitoring. Descriptive statistics were used with mean±SD (range) and % presented. Results: During the 14-days study period, data was obtained in 518 of 712 (73%) attended deliveries of newborns with gestational age 38.6±2.0 (23-42) weeks and birth weight 3324±589 (348-6168) g. Of these deliveries, 58% were normal vaginal deliveries and 29% were cesarean sections. There were 8.8% and 8.4% newborns who required positive pressure ventilation and continuous positive pressure, respectively. Radiant warmer heat was used in 81% (419/518) with 63% (266/419) turned to full power. Room temperature was 21.6±1.6 (17-31)°C. Body temperature at 30-60 min after birth was 36.8±0.5 (32.4-38.1)°C with hypothermia (<36.5°C) in 17%. Percutaneous oxygen saturation was measured in 15% newborns and 96% had sensors placed at the right wrist. At the initiation of resuscitation, 21% oxygen was used in 76% and the oxygen concentration was adjusted according to an oxygen saturation chart in 17%. In 70% of the cases, clinical practitioners commented that this chart was not helpful. Conclusions: Gaps in knowledge transfer contribute to non-compliance in the guidelines of neonatal resuscitation for temperature maintenance and oxygen use. Caution is needed to avoid hypothermia and hyperoxia in at-risk populations such as prematurity.

During the five-year period of the Vojvodina Economic Development Program implementation, €350 million has been invested in the target area. The aim of the present research is to review the process and achievements of farmer training and to introduce a model of successful knowledge transfer. The success of online farmer training was analyzed using statistical methods. A general model introducing a concrete practice example was developed using structural analysis and modeling. As a result of the research, we point out that improving the level of knowledge of farmers through training is a key issue in the operation of successful integration systems, in the production of crops of the right quality and quantity. Due to the fact that the design was made to be user-friendly, and requires a low-level technical equipment and IT skills, the knowledge base is equally accessible to farmers regardless of age, education and place of residence. The program expands the level of knowledge and digital competencies of the farmers, and provides useful information for further developments. The flowchart presented in the article is a suitable tool to increase the efficiency of the training today and can serve as a reference for other institutions engaged in similar activities.

Population ageing is a phenomenon that is quite new and irreversible in the history of mankind. Every country and every organisation is concerned while it is not certain that all the risks and challenges have been clearly identified. Clearly, there is a risk of massive knowledge loss, i.e., “Knowledge Crash”, due to massive retirements, but not exclusively for this reason. This risk is not evaluated at the right level, and in this regard, this article, by including the problem of “Knowledge Crash” in the more general framework of “Knowledge Management”, enlarges the concepts of knowledge, generation, and knowledge transfer. The author proposes a global approach, starting from a strategic analysis of a knowledge capital and ending in the implementation of socio-technical devices for inter-generational knowledge transfer.

Teachers as professional educators must have knowledge and abilities who suitable with their profession. The professionalism criteria educators have academic qualifications and competencies who includes; (1) Pedagogic Competence, (2) Personality Competence, (3) Professional Competence, and (4) Social Competence. All of these four competencies cannot stand alone, but are mutually integrated in learning; it means that they are based on one another components which underlie other components. Besides, to establish the children with character can be carried out by direct or indirect fostering of faith, worship, and character which is carried out gradually and continuously, as early as possible in accordance to the childrens’ habit and psychology development using various approaches. Meanwhile, among the right approaches is through a habitual approach, exemplary, educative and persuasive, advice and stories that can deep the heart. As exemplified by Allah and His Messenger in educating and teaching humans. The teacher professionalism will establish synergies between the implementation of knowledge transfer activities that continue to prioritize quality with the realization of moral students who uphold religious values. Building student character by instilling habits about good things so that students become understood (cognitive domain), instill values ​​and instill what is permissible and what is not (affective domain), able to do (psychomotor domain) and set an example of life ( living model)

This article presents part of the findings of the Research Marketing and Technology Commercialization Survey conducted in South Africa during 2005 and 2006. Part IV (Q4) of this survey was designed to examine nine drivers of knowledge transfer between South African universities in their research and development (R&D) collaborations with industry firms. Respondents from a judgemental sample ranked the knowledge transfer for R&D collaboration between university departments and industry as: (a) the need to extract appropriate knowledge at the right time to make critical decisions; (b) the perception that knowledge is a valuable resource; (c) the emphasis on getting a return on investment in research; (d) the need to protect knowledge for competitive advantage; (e) the need to close the knowledge gap; (f) international trade; (g) the need to protect intellectual property such as patents and trademarks; (h) geographic proximity between the knowledge source and recipient; and (i) war, terrorism and natural disasters.
