DIGITALIZACIJA JAVNIH USLUGA DRŽAVE KAO SEGMENT REFORME JAVNE UPRAVE U REPUBLICI SRBIJI

Information - communication technologies perhaps represent the most significant drive for the development of contemporary society and market. State is always the constant, unavoidable element in the functioning of every society and market and is, itself and through its bodies, susceptible to the influence of new trends and concepts. Their effects are so large that they change the role of the state and the nature of its bodies reflecting the need for continuous reform of public administration worldwide. One of the principal reforming elements and concepts in modern public administration refers to its digitalization, that is the process of electronization. Electronic government, that is e-government as a modern concept which assumes the digitalization of the entire work of public sector by replacing the traditional institutes and functions with modern concepts that include the application of information and communication systems. Thanks to digital reform, the work of public administration has become more transparent and efficient making it more accessible to interested parties and stakeholders, but also leading to the changed role – from public government to public service. The process of electronization and reform of public administration includes the digitalization of public services which public bodies offer to their citizens, enterprises, commercial sector and other persons they come in contact with, and whose rights and interests they protect. Public services include numerous services from different spheres of life: health, economy, ecology, internal affairs, etc. Bearing in mind the significance of public services for the citizens’ and companies’ regular work and functioning, their digitalization represents an important developmental phase which requires adequate academic and scientific approach.

How Community Pharmacists Perceive Ethics in Clinical Research: A Qualitative Study

In recent years, the importance of building evidence in clinical practice that is increasingly acknowledged globally has been recognized in Japan as well, and it is expected that clinical research by community pharmacists will grow. In Japan, however, community pharmacists have few opportunities to learn about research ethics and may lack the training to make ethical decisions. We conducted a questionnaire survey of community pharmacists (n = 200) using a free descriptive format to understand how they perceived research ethics. Our qualitative analysis of 170 respondents revealed various perspectives (<A pharmacist’s grounding>, <How pharmacists perceive research>, and <Ethical issues entailed by research>) of Japanese pharmacists on ethics in the context of clinical research. With respect to how to understand research, the following perspectives were found: “research that prioritizes researchers,” “research that prioritizes research subjects (patients),” and “research that enters into regular work.” The perspectives on “research that prioritizes research subjects (patients)” and “research that enters into regular work” may inadvertently lead to ethically inappropriate research due to mismatch in professional values or poor understanding of research. These findings can contribute to the development of an educational program for community pharmacists on research ethics.

Vital signs, clinical rules and gut feeling: observational study among fever patients

BackgroundGeneral practitioners (GPs) decide which patients with fever need referral to the emergency department (ED). Vital signs, clinical rules and gut feeling can influence this critical management decision.Aimto investigate which vital signs are measured by GPs, and whether referral is associated with vital signs, clinical rules, or gut feeling.Design & settingprospective observational study at two out-of-hours GP cooperativesMethodduring two nine-day periods, GPs performed their regular work-up in patients ≥18 y with fever (≥38.0°C). Subsequently, researchers measured missing vital signs for completion of the Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) criteria and the quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) score. We investigated associations between the number of referrals, positive SIRS/qSOFA scores and GPs’ gut feeling.ResultsGPs measured and recorded all vital signs required for SIRS/qSOFA calculation in 24 of 108 (22.2%) assessed patients and referred 45 (41.7%) to the ED. Higher respiratory rates, temperatures, clinical rules and gut feeling were associated with referral. During 7-day follow-up, 9 (14.3%) of 63 initially not referred patients were admitted to hospital.ConclusionGPs measured and recorded all vital signs for SIRS and qSOFA in 1 in 5 patients with fever and referred half of 63 SIRS positive and almost all of 22 qSOFA positive patients. Some vital signs and gut feeling were associated with referral, but none were consistently present in all referred patients. The vast majority of patients who were not initially referred remained at home during follow-up.

Features of Student Employment in the Hungarian-Romanian Cross Border Area

The aim of the research is to examine student employment, which plays an important role in the lives of university students. According to previous research results, paid work is characterized by an increasing tendency, with occasional and holiday work being characteristic of students, as well as regular work during the semester too. Current research focuses on the characteristics of gainful employment in the Hungarian-Romanian border region. The database PERSIST 2019 (N = 2199) was used, the research took place in higher education institutions in the eastern region of Hungary and in higher education institutions bordering the country. We investigate the differences between the demographic, social and institutional backgrounds of working students. We also analyze the relationships between effectiveness, engagement and student employment. According to our results there are differences between the institutions both in the frequency of employment and in the horizontal fit of work. Hungarian students take up work more often than Romanian students, but study-related work is more typical for Romanian students. However, paid work does not hinder the academic performance of the students and the building of relationships within the institution, it even has a positive impact on the students' university career.

Young, Restless and Deist (Briefly)

Chapter 2 traces the intellectual genealogy of the young Benjamin Franklin during a time when he was the most free-spirited and least restrained by social conventions. At age seventeen, having learnt the printing trade, he left Boston. For almost three years, while attempting to find regular work as a printer first in Philadelphia and then London, Franklin continued to read widely and think deep thoughts about his place in the universe. This was the period when he espoused deism and wrote (and published) a short treatise on predestination and determinism (subsequently destroyed) as well as A Dissertation on Liberty and Necessity. The chapter discusses the influence on Franklin of the Earl of Shaftesbury, John Locke, and William Wollaston. In 1726, Franklin produced Articles of Belief and Acts of Religion.

The Use of Custom URL for E-Messages, Tweets and Posts against E-Social Platforms Based on Time Complexity Retardation

On the leaning of the widespread adaptation of web services such as social networking sites (like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, WhatsApp, Instagram, Pinterest, etc.) and E-mail have become regular work. We approach these sites to gather or share information worldwide in the form of messages (like tweets, posts, blogs, etc.) and also in other formats such as pictures, audio, and video. In the modern era of Technology where the audience is widely connected with e-platform, these social networking sites are also used to organize e-campaign to favor or counteraction in different contention such as political review, social issue, environmental dispute, worldwide controversy, trolling etc. using the method of Folksonomy [1]. We are participating in such trolling, controversy, and campaign or expedition by using posting a message, tweet, micro-blog, etc. In particular, to join all we are doing is post a tweet or micro-blog that has the precise word or phrase because it appears within the Trends list, like a hashtag. But the trending keywords changed in the short-term and any hashtag gets popularity worldwide shortly. We demonstrate the custom-URL to join e-campaign which is wrapped in shortened-URL for easy to understand and gets excessive results to trend any Tag or Hashtag in a span of time. We improve the results for the community, groups and as well as for the individual audience to gets the best consequence for trending keywords.

Welcome to the Regular World! Exploring How Female Doctorate Holders in Education Transition from Irregular to Regular Work in South Korea

The purpose of this study was to explore the adaptation process of female Ph.D. holders working in universities who shifted from being irregular employees to regular employees. The study adopted a qualitative approach using in-depth interviews to investigate participants’ experiences and discover any inconsistencies, as well as how they are alleviated. The basic findings of the study indicate that the adaptation process is more feasible when the gap between the personal aspect of job adaptation and the organizational environment and satisfaction with it decreases. The participants in the study joined the labour union to convert to regular jobs. However, after transitioning to full-time positions, the participants did not realize the structural aspect of the contracts they had signed. Although they expected to make their unfair situation more fair through the transition of their job positions, they still faced structural discrimination. As the participants were women with doctoral degrees, their professionalism was considered a cardinal value, and their job satisfaction varied according to the degree of matching between their work and their expertise. Moreover, during the evaluation period, they began to establish themselves as legitimate members of their teams through the employee evaluation procedure of full-time employees, which is conducted mutually rather than unilaterally. Through its in-depth interviews with transitioning university staff, this study makes a significant contribution to our understanding of how female faculty adjust to changes in their life and position in the organization following a change in their status. These findings prove that higher education institutions need focus on career development for female students as well as their faculty and staff members. Such a focus also requires more active actions by university and college members.

Financial Reporting as a Source of Innovation-Relevant Competitive Intelligence

In this article, we demonstrate that contemporary financial reporting systems have the capacity to contribute significantly to the generation of innovation-relevant competitive intelligence. This potential arises because, as part of its regular work, the financial reporting system compiles, collects, analyzes, and synthesizes strategically relevant information about (i) complex internal technical processes related to inventions, discoveries, product development, process innovations, and the like; (ii) detailed sales, cost, and profit forecasts; (iii) consumer trends and innovative developments in the firm’s markets; (iv) actual and potential competitor actions in the market; and (v) regulatory changes, macro-economic trends, and information about the likely impact of government policies. We argue that this competitive intelligence can, if properly harnessed, lead to better informed discourses and decisions around innovation. Consequently, we highlight the potential—from both academic research and practical perspectives—of financial reporting as an enabler of innovation-relevant competitive intelligence embeddedness within firms.

A fizetett munkavállalás hatása a felsőoktatási hallgatók egyetemi pályafutására+

Összefoglaló. Az utóbbi évtizedek tapasztalatai szerint a nappali tagozatos felsőoktatási hallgatók fizetett munkavállalását növekvő tendencia jellemzi, azonban a kutatók nem jutottak konszenzusra az eredményességre gyakorolt hatásával kapcsolatban. Kutatásunk célja, hogy feltárjuk a hallgatói munkavállalás hatását az eredményességre és a tanulmányok iránti elköteleződésre. A Társadalmi és szervezeti tényezők szerepe a hallgatói lemorzsolódásban című NKFIH által támogatott kutatás (PERSIST 2019) adatai alapján (N = 2199) a rendszeresen dolgozó hallgatók eredményesebbek, mint a nem dolgozó társaik. Az elkötelezettség és az oktatókkal folytatott intenzív kommunikáció, kapcsolattartás terén nincs jelentős különbség a hallgatói csoportok között. Ebben a vonatkozásban azt láthatjuk, hogy a rendszeres munkavégzés nem gátolja az egyetemi pályafutásukat, s nem akadályozza meg az intézményen belüli kapcsolatok kialakítását. Summary. Research in recent decades has shown an increasing trend in paid employment for higher education students, but researchers have not reached a consensus on its impact on performance. The aim of our research is to explore the impact of student employment on academic performance and engagement to study. Based on data from PERSIST 2019 (N = 2199), students who work regularly are more successful than their non-working counterparts. Furthermore, there is no significant difference between the student groups in terms of engagement and intensive communication and contact with the lecturers. In this respect, we can see that regular work does not hinder their university careers, and nor does prevent the development of relationships within the institution.
