This paper aims to identify the competences for sustainability and its level of institutionalization from the perspective of the professors of the Department of Applied Social Sciences (SESA) of a State University of the Center-South region of Paraná, Brazil. The research can be characterized by the quantitative approach and survey method. For data collection, an already tested and validated instrument proposed by Stefano and Alberton (2015) was used to identify the 5 (five) competencies for sustainability (focus on systemic thinking; preventive; normative; interpersonal strategic), as well as issues related to their level of institutionalization (habitualization, objectification and sedimentation), based on the model of Tolbert and Zucker (1999). Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), Cronbach's Alpha test and Cluster Analysis were performed. The results show that approximately 70% of the respondents consider the existence of competencies for sustainability at the university, however, the institutionalization of the sustainability theme is at the habitualization level. It is important to identify the competencies that favor sustainability practices in the organizational environment, as well as the institutionalization of these new values, especially in public universities, which, besides their social duty, are educating future generations to make decisions, thus being able to promote a more sustainable future.

The problem of delays in returning library books is common to all categories of library users at the University of Zambia. However, little is known about what causes the delay in returning the borrowed books. To address this gap, the authors investigated circulation policies at Zambia’s leading academic library. The objective was to establish the effect of library regulations on the return of library books. Using a survey method, the study targeted 90 full-time students who were randomly selected. Quantitative data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences while qualitative data were coded and analyzed thematically. The results revealed that circulation policies have an effect on returning the borrowed books by users. These findings provide a useful contribution to the dearth of literature on this subject and offer valuable information to inform future planning.

Effective notification and monitoring of students’ attendance are among the significant developments of any higher education institution must have. This study primarily focused on the design and development of an iNotify&Monitor System with Data Analytics using RFID and Mobile Broadband Technology. It is a 3-in-1 software that is intended to help Jose Rizal Memorial State University-Katipunan (JRMSU-K) Campus improve its procedures in notifying the students every time there are important announcements such as class cancellations, delays, schedule of activities or even a warning in case of emergency for their safety, monitoring students’ attendance, and examining enrolment and attendance records for better decision-making. The tools used in the development of this software were Microsoft Visual Studio C#, PHP, and MySQL. Based on the system evaluation, it was evaluated as “very effective”. It is then highly recommended that the system should be immediately utilized as it was viewed to improve the student management in the university.

As soon as the young Lithuanian state was formed, the international situation was unfavorable (the war of independence took place) and as a result its internal life was burdened by difficulties. Therefore, the Lithuanian intelligentsia (one of their leading mathematicians Z. Žemaitis) took the initiative to organize Higher Courses (AK) in the temporary capital Kaunas. These universal courses, equivalent to the type of higher education institution (university), existed in 1920– 1922. According to the adopted statute, there were six chapters covering the basic sciences - humanities, social sciences and natural or real sciences. The existence of the latter sciences was evidenced by the Department of Mathematics and Physics, where there was an opportunity to study mathematics in Lithuanian. This article shows the circumstances of the establishment of AK, the conditions of their activity, introduces the lecturers of mathematics and shows the composition of the listeners, as well as reveals the content of mathematics studies and names the literature used for studies. During the two years of AK's existence, a solid foundation was laid for the future Lithuanian University (since 1930 – Vytautas Magnus). The staff formed consisted mainly of 1922. the core of the developing university, and the first scientific aids, books and premises were acquired - the base of the higher school. For the first time in its history, AK turned Kaunas into a university city, and the departments operating in them laid the foundations for the establishment of the university, as well as the Faculty of Mathematics.

The general objective of this article is to establish "state of the art" on the Programa de Apoio à Pesquisa em Empresas (PAPPE) and TECNOVA. These programs are focused on financing innovation in the modality of Economic Subvention (ES), which means the provision of public resources directly to companies for the development of Research and Development (R&D) activities. For this reason, the Capes Dissertation and Thesis Bank was used. The main results showed that the theme is of interest to researchers from north to south of the country, with emphasis on the Southeast, Northeast and South regions. Applied Social Sciences, Engineering III and Multidisciplinary were the areas of Knowledge that most sought to study ES. The importance of this type of financing for the performance of the beneficiary companies, the business maturity for the success of the projects and the relevance of the program to expand the cooperation of companies with the university were observed in the selected studies. The analysis of the studies carried out makes it possible to recommend the continuity and strengthening of the financing policy for innovative activities in the ES modality in the Brazilian states.
