The Current Situation of Social Work Activities in Hospitals in Vietnam

Since the Prime Minister signed the decision approving the project 32/2010 on March, 25, 2010 “Development of Social Work Profession in Vietnam in the period of 2010 – 2020”, social work has strongly developed in many different areas including the medical field. Specifically, the Ministry of Health approved the project “Development of the Social Work profession in the health sector from 2011 through 2020” and the Circular 43/2015 on “The social work activities in the hospitals and the organizational form to perform the social work activities in hospitals”. These documents are fundamental to carry out social work activities in hospitals. However, this is a new field so the implementation of these activities is still difficult and lacks detailed supporting guidelines. This study was conducted to assess the status of the five main activities of social workers in hospitals regulated under Circular 43/2015, thereby providing solutions to improve the effectiveness of social work activities.

Identification and classification of barriers and benefits of requirements traceability in project development

Requirements are conditions that a product, service, or process must present and requirements management facilitates this realization. For this, the requirements traceability technique is used for the development of projects and systems and all management of the requirements life cycle. However, the literature recognizes the proven benefits of adherence to the technique, but the plurality of problems inhibits its adherence. Thus, this article aims to identify and classify the barriers and benefits of requirements traceability. For this purpose, it was elaborated a systematic literature review, and for the results´ analysis and codification, the MAXQDA software was used. A total of 15 barriers and 15 benefits were identified. It is possible to verify that both in the case of benefits and barriers, there is a cause and effect relationship between them. In other words, barriers such as “Low flexibility and integration of tools” lead to the emergence of other barriers such as “Management inefficiency”.

THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF PHYSICAL CULTURE AND SPORTS SPECIALISTS TO BE PROJECT COMPETENCE FORMATION

The pedagogical nature and subject matter of project competence of physical culture and sports specialists to be are defined in the article. The education process at modern higher educational institutions where the bases of project competence of physical culture and sports specialists to be are established is defined by active search of effective ways of optimization and modernization of the system of quality improving of students’ professional training. It is proved that the project activity is a set of actions of making and development of a project, planning of specific work and its consistent performance, so the project activity is a constructive and productive personal activity, targeted towards the solution of vital problem, achieving of ultimate results in process of goal determination, planning, development and implementation of a project.The integration of a set of scientific notions allowed to come to a conclusion that the formation of project competence of physical culture and sports specialists to be considered as a dynamic and integrated process aimed at consciousness of grounds, need for sound use of project activity in professional field which provides for getting of theoretical knowledge and understanding of project development and management; getting of ways and means of project activity; readiness and capacity to use new professional experience in practical task solution in the field of sports and health; physical culture and sports specialist’s to be consciousness of relevance of the level of own professional capabilities and skills, and the demands of project activity in the field of physical culture, sports and health protection.On the basis of the integration of literary sources complex it is established that the project competence of physical culture and sports specialists to be may be presented in the dynamic unity of the following components: motivational and axiological, cognitive, activity, reflective and evaluating. The content of functional components is modified under the conditions of formation of project competence of physical culture and sports specialists to be which is shown up in the following set of project competence functions: worldview, research, heuristic, integral, prognostic, reflective and evaluating, constructive and administrative. The formation of project competence in process of professional training of physical culture and sports specialists to be requires the development of specific project skills: problematization, project development skills, skills of theoretical and practical conscious activities on project implementation, skills of meaningful choice and use of computer-aided and other technologies in project technology, reflexion skills.

Unruly Mountains: Hydropower assemblages and geological surprises in the Indian Himalayas

Despite a decades long push to develop what is seen as the vast untapped hydropower potential of the Indian Himalayas, hydropower capacity addition has been delayed and become increasingly expensive in India. Policy documents cite “poor” geology as a major reason for these delays. As hydropower in the form of run-of-river projects expand into the Himalayas, their construction activities encounter poor geology more frequently. This paper analyses hydropower development as an assemblage and examines how risk, especially geological risk, is negotiated to allow hydropower development to continue in the Indian Himalayas. We show how the category of “geological surprises” emerges as an institutional response to the problems of run-of-river based hydropower development in a seismically vulnerable landscape. We further show how “geological surprises” act as a boundary object between hydropower policy, project development, infrastructural finance, and hydropower knowledge, allowing for cooperation and negotiation, to allow hydropower development to continue in the geologically complex Himalayas.

ANALYSIS OF CHANGES IN THE TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESS OF DEVELOPMENT AND COMPONENTS OF THE LAND MANAGEMENT PROJECT REGARDING THE ALLOCATION OF THE LAND PLOT

The article is devoted to the study of changes that have occurred during the development of the land management project for the allocation of land when changing regulations in the field of land management and cadastre. Land management projects for the allocation of land plots are developed in the case of the formation of new land plots from state and communal lands and in the event of a change in the purpose of land plots. They can also provide for the division, consolidation of land owned by one person. The main documents regulating the technological process of land management project development for land allotment are the Land Code and the Law of Ukraine "On Land Management", which consists of 6 stages: obtaining a project development permit, concluding an agreement with the developer of land management documentation, project development, project approval, entering data into the State Land Cadastre and project approval. Identified changes in the technological process of development of land management project for the allocation of land, which include: 1. The powers of local governments and executive authorities to transfer land ownership have been changed. At the same time, powers were tied to the boundaries of territorial communities instead of the boundaries of settlements. 2. Simplified the procedure for cadastral survey of land. The procedure of agreeing on the boundaries of the land plot and restrictions, transferring the boundaries in kind (on the ground) and establishing boundary markers becomes optional. 3. The state examination of land management documentation was canceled. 4. Simplified the procedure for approving the land management project for the allocation of land. The agreement with the territorial body of the State Geocadastre on the location of the land plot and the bodies implementing the state policy in the field of cultural heritage protection, forestry, water management, environmental protection, urban planning and architecture has been canceled. The following is added to the cadastral plan of the land plot: information on the transfer in kind (on the ground) of the boundaries of protection zones, coastal protection strips and beach zones, sanitary protection zones, sanitary protection zones and zones of special land use regime and land boundaries; information on the established boundary markers.
