Methodological approach to the assessment of the level of intellectualization of the green economy in terms of sustainable development

As part of the global course for sustainable development and the green economy, socio-economic processes are acquiring intellectual content. The purpose of this study is to form a methodology for assessing the level of intellectualization of the green economy. The author’s index GIEI has been formed in this research on the basis of selected indicators that reflect green policy, green intellectual capital and goals of the green economy. Within the index, there are three subindices, which are assigned weight coefficients, which were calculated based on the results of expert analysis. The results showed that the green policy has the greatest weight coefficient. The obtained index can be used to assess the level of intellectualization of the green economy of world countries and to provide a basis for further research on key elements of the world’s green policies to identify effective tools that can be used in the green development strategies of states.

THE ORIGINALITY OF EXPRESSING DEIXIS IN THE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL TEXT

The article is devoted to defining deictic elements, the translation of which remains insufficiently systematized, especially on the example of scientific and technical texts. The aim of the work is to study deixis in English texts, to determine its linguistic and extralinguistic features and to translate it into Ukrainian. The latest view of deixis is to understand it as a universal category that functions at all linguistic levels. This phenomenon helps to understand the author, to isolate the most important information and to navigate in space and time. The specifics of personal deixis in the scientific and technical literature are based on the relationship of transmission-reception of information between the author (addresser) and the reader (addressee) at the extralinguistic level. As follows from the analysis of examples, the text of a scientific article expresses not only the intellectual content – information about the facts and their theoretical justification, but also the author’s will to attract the reader’s attention, to bring them to accepting the author’s point of view. The use of 2nd person as a deictic element is subject to the task of implementing the author’s pragmatic guidelines. In expressing his/her opinion, s/he aims to make the statement less categorical, leaving it open to the reader’s judgment. Deictic words help to establish contact with the reader, which is directly related to embodying the main communicative function of a scientific text – the function of communication.

LIS research across 50 years: content analysis of journal articles

PurposeThis paper analyses the research in Library and Information Science (LIS) and reports on (1) the status of LIS research in 2015 and (2) on the evolution of LIS research longitudinally from 1965 to 2015.Design/methodology/approachThe study employs a quantitative intellectual content analysis of articles published in 30+ scholarly LIS journals, following the design by Tuomaala et al. (2014). In the content analysis, we classify articles along eight dimensions covering topical content and methodology.FindingsThe topical findings indicate that the earlier strong LIS emphasis on L&I services has declined notably, while scientific and professional communication has become the most popular topic. Information storage and retrieval has given up its earlier strong position towards the end of the years analyzed. Individuals are increasingly the units of observation. End-user's and developer's viewpoints have strengthened at the cost of intermediaries' viewpoint. LIS research is methodologically increasingly scattered since survey, scientometric methods, experiment, case studies and qualitative studies have all gained in popularity. Consequently, LIS may have become more versatile in the analysis of its research objects during the years analyzed.Originality/valueAmong quantitative intellectual content analyses of LIS research, the study is unique in its scope: length of analysis period (50 years), width (8 dimensions covering topical content and methodology) and depth (the annual batch of 30+ scholarly journals).

The implementation of total quality management in Arab universities: A proposed model

The purpose of this study is to develop a model for the implementation of total quality management in higher educational institutions, Arab universities. This model exceeds the limitations in the implemented current models in various business organizations through implementing the systems approach and process entry in the design that includes inputs, processes, outputs, and goals. This study is a survey-based methodology in which the survey is designed based on the 7 famous models of implementing the total quality with an adaption within the framework of the total quality management concept. The final sample consists of 51 academic leaders at Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University who hold various experiences in working with different Arab universities. The results of this study indicate that the proposed model obtained high relative importance that reached at the axis level a high degree ranged between 76.39%-80.78%, and at the overall level reached a percentage of 80.39%. This confirms the importance of the model in expressing the intellectual content of management of total quality as an integrated system of universities as open organizations to their external context. This study recommends that high leaders should believe in the importance of total quality management and encourage its application through the proposed model with its essential criteria and its sub-dimensions and spreading the culture of total quality management and customer service among workers.

Breast-Gynaecological & Immuno-Oncology International Cancer Conference (BGICC) Consensus and Recommendations for the Management of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Background: The management of patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is challenging with several controversies and unmet needs. During the 12th Breast-Gynaecological & Immuno-oncology International Cancer Conference (BGICC) Egypt, 2020, a panel of 35 breast cancer experts from 13 countries voted on consensus guidelines for the clinical management of TNBC. The consensus was subsequently updated based on the most recent data evolved lately. Methods: A consensus conference approach adapted from the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) was utilized. The panellists voted anonymously on each question, and a consensus was achieved when ≥75% of voters selected an answer. The final consensus was later circulated to the panellists for critical revision of important intellectual content. Results and conclusion: These recommendations represent the available clinical evidence and expert opinion when evidence is scarce. The percentage of the consensus votes, levels of evidence and grades of recommendation are presented for each statement. The consensus covered all the aspects of TNBC management starting from defining TNBC to the management of metastatic disease and highlighted the rapidly evolving landscape in this field. Consensus was reached in 70% of the statements (35/50). In addition, areas of warranted research were identified to guide future prospective clinical trials.

God de re et de dicto: Kierkegaard, faith and religious diversity

In his Concluding Unscientific Postscript, Kierkegaard, writing as Johannes Climacus, famously distinguishes two kinds of religiousness, kind A and kind B. He claims that, even though kind A is basic to kind B, including as represented in Christian religious commitment, kind A both has God ‘in its ground’ and ‘can be present in paganism’ that is atheist or agnostic. This apparent conflict calls for a resolution, if kind A is to be coherent. This article offers a new resolution with a familiar distinction between God de re and God de dicto, even though interpreters have overlooked the importance of this distinction for understanding Kierkegaard. In addition, the article contends that this distinction is supportable from Kierkegaard's own writings, even though he himself did not draw it explicitly. The article also explains the importance of the distinction for understanding Kierkegaard on religious diversity in intellectual content. It proposes that it enables Kierkegaard to offer a compelling position on such diversity, given his understanding of God's perfectly good character and activity.

Intersectoral information and intellectual model of integration of information flows of interregional level subjects

Modern challenges actualize the search for transformation of management and interaction mechanisms and tools for determining and making optimal managerial decisions based on quota (distributed) information and intellectual content, which create conditions for the implementation of a systematic method for solving the problem of creating a large-scale and multifunctional complex of information and intellectual management and interaction systems. In this paper, the principles of building an intersectoral information and intellectual model of integration of information flows of subjects of the interregional level are considered. The construction of the model is based on the principles of information and intellectual interaction in the segment of the information economy of social and marketing cooperation. The components of the model formation methodology are presented. The system of component-methodology assumes concentration in one perimeter of information flows coming from the integrating information systems of subjects of the intersectoral, interregional level, federal regulators and business associations, using the information technology «big data». The model of integration of information flows accumulates and concentrates information knowledge in a single transport and information space and is a quota-based information and intellectual system, the structure of which reflects the coordinated interactions of virtual agents. The subjects of accumulation and concentration of information knowledge are virtual agents (integrating information and intellectual systems) of regulators, subjects and business associations. The creation of such virtual agents is based on the multiagent construction principle. Virtual agents are a new category of software products that operate in information and intellectual environment on behalf of the user. The principles of virtual agent modeling and methodology for constructing the model were used in creating software products «Electronic Service of integrated transport services» and «Multiagent intellectual system for management of transport services in rail-marine traffic», which were registered by the state.

INTELLECTUAL CONTENT OF GREEN GROWTH IN CONDITIONS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

The article is devoted to the analysis of the essence of the intellectual content of green growth in the framework of the global course of mankind for sustainable development. The gradual transition in scientific works from information economy and knowledge economy to intellectual economy, which is characterized by directing human intellectual activity to environmentally friendly activities aimed at achieving global goals of sustainable development, has been analyzed. It has been noted that the intellectual economy is the foundation of green growth and the importance of knowledge, skills, theoretical and practical competencies, creativity, which act as a driver of development of green sectors of the economy has been highlighted. It has been determined that there are nine types of human capital, of which the intellectual plays a leading role at the present stage of development of socio-economic processes. In the conditions of building a green economy, capital acquires green features, which is manifested through green intellectual capital, the main components of which are green human capital, green organizational capital and green relational capital. The interaction of green human and green organizational capital forms green relational capital, which is expressed in the form of green jobs, inclusiveness and gender equality. It has been noted that in the long run the development of green intellectual capital leads to the effect of decoupling, which is manifested in the gap between indicators of economic prosperity and environmental degradation. That is why strategies for the development of green intellectual capital should be the basis for the development of countries around the world to achieve global goals of sustainable development in terms of green growth.
