Objective: The pharmaceutical industry has been portrayed as a promising sector for pharmacy graduates. Nonetheless, little is known about pharmacy students’ preferences, knowledge, and attitudes toward careers in the pharmaceutical industry, as well as the factors that may influence them.     Method: A self-developed questionnaire was administered to pharmacy students in public and private universities in Malaysia from October to November 2018 via online platforms.     Results: Only 38.8% out of 433 students who completed the survey stated their preference for working in the pharmaceutical industry. The mean (SD) of knowledge, perceived syllabus, and attitudes related to pharmaceutical industry career preferences were 8.73 (1.77) (full score of 12), 28.50 (5.83) (full score of 40), and 30.59 (4.32) (full score of 50), respectively. Students from private universities, those in years one and three of study, and those with higher attitude scores were more likely to choose the pharmaceutical industry as their career option.    Conclusion: Increasing exposure to pharmaceutical industry careers that involve patient contact and clinical knowledge application is needed to improve students’ attitudes toward pursuing a career in this field.

AbstrakKemampuan pemecahan masalah menjadi target kemampuan dalam matematika sehingga guru dituntut untuk menyediakan soal yang dapat melatih kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi dan kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematis siswa. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menganalisis soal buatan guru dan tingkat kemampuan pemecahan masalah siswa dalam menyelesaikan soal HOTS. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian analisis dokumen. Adapun subjek penelitian ini yaitu guru dan siswa kelas VIII SMP Pondok Pesantren Ulul Albab Makassar. Peneliti mengumpulkan soal latihan, soal ulangan harian, soal akhir semester, serta jawaban siswa. Soal dianalisis sesuai dengan taksonomi kognitif Bloom. Selanjutnya dilakukan reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil analisis menunjukkan soal-soal tersebut didominasi pada ranah kognitif pemahaman, pengetahuan, aplikasi, dan analisis. Kemampuan pemecahan masalah siswa dalam mengerjakan soal HOTS sebesar 70% berada pada kategori kurang, 15% berada pada kategori cukup, 20% pada kategori baik, dan 0% pada kategori sangat tinggi. Temuan lain dari penelitian ini yaitu ketidakmampuan siswa dalam pemecahan masalah yaitu merencanakan penyelesaian masalah, melakukan penyelesaian masalah dan membuat review atas rencana pemecahan masalah. Penyebabnya antara lain siswa tidak rutin menyelesaikan soal HOTS, kekhawatiran guru terhadap siswa kalau tidak mampu menjawab soal-soal matematika dan guru kurang memahami bentuk soal HOTS. Dengan demikian, melalui penelitian ini diharapkan guru dapat berlatih untuk membuat soal-soal matematika tipe HOTS ataupun diselenggarakannya pelatihan-pelatihan cara membuat soal-soal matematika tipe HOTS. AbstractProblem solving ability becomes the target of ability in mathematics so that teachers are required to provide questions that can train students' higher-order thinking skills and mathematical problem solving abilities. The purpose of this study was to analyze teacher-made questions and the level of students' problem-solving abilities in solving HOTS questions. This type of research is document analysis research. The subjects of this study were teachers and students of class VIII SMP Pondok Pesantren Ulul Albab Makassar. Researchers collected practice questions, daily test questions, end of semester questions, and student answers. The questions were analyzed according to Bloom's cognitive taxonomy. Furthermore, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing are carried out. The results of the analysis show that these questions are dominated by the cognitive domains of understanding, knowledge, application, and analysis. The problem solving ability of students in working on HOTS questions is 70% in the less category, 15% in the sufficient category, 20% in the good category, and 0% in the very high category. Another finding from this study is the students' inability to solve problems, namely planning problem solving, problem solving and reviewing problem solving plans. The causes include students not routinely solving HOTS questions, teachers' concerns about students if they are not able to answer mathematics questions and teachers do not understand the form of HOTS questions. Thus, through this research, it is hoped that teachers can practice making HOTS-type mathematics problems or holding trainings on how to make HOTS-type mathematics problems.

The study aimed to identify the degree of applying processes of knowledge management at colleges of educational sciences in private Jordanian universities in the Capital Governorate from the perspective of faculty members, and the effect of gender, academic rank and experience variables on the degree of application. To achieve this, the analytical descriptive survey method was used, and a questionnaire was developed and included (25) items, covering three dimensions: knowledge generation, knowledge storage, knowledge transfer, and knowledge application. The questionnaire was distributed to as ample of (77) faculty members in the college of educational sciences in private universities in the capital governorate (Al-Zaytouna, the Middle East, Al-Isra and Petra) during the academic year 2018/2019. The results showed that the degree of application of knowledge management processes by colleges in the field of knowledge generation and knowledge transfer were medium (2.07) and (1.91), while the degree of application in the two fields of knowledge application and knowledge generation was low with means of (1.64) and (1.40). Results also showed that there were no statistically significant differences at (α<0.05) on all domains of knowledge management attributed to the variable of sex. There were statistically significant differences at (α<05.0) for the domains of knowledge management processes, all attributable to the variable of academic rank. However, there were no statistically significant differences at (α<05.0) in the degree of applying knowledge management processes among faculty members attributed to the variable of experience in all majors. It can be concluded that the degree of applying knowledge management processes at Colleges of Educational Sciences in private Jordanian universities in the Capital Governorate varied between medium and low. Therefore, the study recommended that knowledge management processes be adopted by Jordanian private universities in the Capital Governorate.

Abstract This article studies the integration of Hidden Champions – little-known highly innovative global market leaders – in rural regional innovation systems (RIS) in Germany. These firms are analyzed in relation to their integration into a RIS framework, which differentiates two subsystems: knowledge generation and diffusion, and knowledge application and exploitation. The relevance of firm-internal and firm-external regional influencing factors on rural RIS integration is examined. The article proposes that Hidden Champions are weakly integrated in RIS due to their international sales focus and high technological specialization. To test this premise, 57 expert interviews with Hidden Champions and regional actors were conducted. It was found that key influences for RIS integration of this firm type are ownership structure, firm size, organizational status, location economies, and urbanization economies. Family businesses are on average more integrated than other firm types, but vary significantly in their integration.

AbstractAs knowledge derived from scientific theory can be helpful for teachers to reflect on their everyday teaching, universities have the challenging task of teaching this knowledge in such a way that pre-service teachers are able to apply it to their later teaching. Case-based learning has emerged as a promising method to foster pre-service teachers’ scientific knowledge application throughout university teacher education. However, surprisingly, empirical evidence for its effectiveness as compared to more traditional instructional interventions in teacher education is still inconclusive, partly being due to constraints concerning the employed comparison groups. The present quasi-experimental study (conducted in the field of classroom management) investigated the effect of studying exactly the same theoretical content with and without text-based cases on scientific knowledge application (as measured by a vignette test) in a sample of 101 pre-service teachers. Although the study found a small advantage for the case-based learning group, it demonstrated that scientific knowledge application may also be effectively fostered in a more traditional instructional course. The findings and their implications are discussed against the background of cognitive theories on inert knowledge and how to prevent it in teacher education.

Knowledge management (KM), a process of acquiring, converting, applying, and protecting knowledge assets, is crucial for value creation. The purpose of this research is to empirically test the relationship between KM processes (knowledge acquisition, knowledge conversion, knowledge application, and knowledge protection), entrepreneurial orientation (EO), and firm performance. Data were collected from 159 small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia using a cross-sectional survey. This research uses partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and WarpPLS version 7.0 to test the model. The results show that three of four KM dimensions: knowledge acquisition, knowledge conversion, and knowledge protection are positively related to performance. Moreover, EO has been found to moderate the relationship between knowledge application and performance positively.

Purpose: The underlying rationale for learning organizations is that in circumstances of quick change just those that are adaptable, versatile and gainful will exceed expectations. For this to happen, it is contended, associations need to find how to tap individuals' responsibility and ability to learn at all levels. The general objective of the study was to evaluate effect of knowledge management on organization performance. Methodology: The paper used a desk study review methodology where relevant empirical literature was reviewed to identify main themes and to extract knowledge gaps. Findings: The study concludes that knowledge protection had the greatest effect on the performance of microfinance organizations, followed by knowledge acquisition, then knowledge conversion while knowledge application had the least effect to the performance. The study found out that the organizations have impressed attributes of knowledge applications such as individuals, organization culture, and identity, policies and documents in their organization which had resulted in improved performance. However, routines and systems were found to have less influence on the performance of these organizations. Recommendations: There is a need for managers also need to take advantage of the technological capability to support knowledge application processes. In particular, organizations should use technology to map the location of specific types of knowledge, thereby facilitating the application and sharing of knowledge. Technology also should be connected to encourage individuals in different areas to take in as a gathering from a solitary or numerous assets and a single or various focuses in time. Thusly, social and specialized infrastructural components can supplement each other and meet up to improve learning focused procedures.
