IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CONCEPT AND THEORY OF MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS IN EFFORTS TO IMPROVE QUALITY

Implementation of madrasa management contains two aspects of study, first the assessment in the conceptual setting of an approach in running a particular business in the education segment that seeks to maximize competitiveness through continuous improvement of products, people, processes, and organizational environments or institutions, and both studies cover the way they are delivered, which includes ten characteristics from i.e. customer focused (internal and external); obsessed with quality; use scientific approach; continuously improving quality; education and training; exercising controlled freedom; have unity of purpose; as well as involving and empowering educators and students. Both aspects must become a unified whole so that efforts to achieve goals can be obtained optimally. Keywords: Madrasa Management, Madrasa Quality, Management Function

Procedural Regulation of Involuntary Hospitalization According to the Legal Order of the Czech Republic in Comparison with German Legislation

Summary The article focuses on the analysis of the procedural arrangements of detention proceedings in the legal order of the Czech Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany. Special attention is paid to the systematic (conceptual) setting of the functioning of procedural adjustments, whose current form is a reflection of the shift or departure from the historical law ratio legis of civil health detention. The historical ratio legis then consists in the protection of the personal freedom of the mentally ill, who were taken into the institution for the insane against their will. Thus, the links between guardianship and detention should not be neglected in the design of procedural procedures. Both procedures should be closely linked. The aim of the article is to analyze the concept of procedural modifications of detention proceedings under German and Czech legislation, also in connection with partial differences within individual procedural law institutes. Special attention is paid to the mutual relation between detention proceedings and custody proceedings.

Dynamics of loan delinquency by SME owners in Uganda

The study mainly set out to investigate the factors that influence loan delinquency bySME owners in Uganda. SME ownersin Mbarara Municipality, South West Uganda provided conceptual setting of the study. This paper contributes to the body of knowledge by determining the local business context influencing loan delinquency among SME owners. The study fixated on thefactors that influence loan delinquency by SME owners in Uganda with focus on what SACCOs put into consideration in order to categorize an SME as suitable for micro-lending. The study engaged descriptive research design, where 20 questionnaires were administered to SME owners and detailed discussions of the questions conducted with 6 key informants in the SME sector. The study was grounded on David McClelland’s Acquired Needs theory and the Rational Choice theory in helping to understand the subject under investigation. The study further adopted Krejcie and Morgan's (1970) sample size determination methodology to select the respondents. Data was analysed using SPSS version 20, thematic and content analysis. The study findings show that majority of the respondents were male with secondary level of education, majority of the SME entities had been in operation for six years and above and their ability to manage loans was boosted by education, skills and experience. While the majority of the SME owners are accessing and utilizing loan services from the SACCOs, more than half of them have ever been in delinquency over their loan contract. The study recommends that the SME owners learn how to plough back their profits into their business, conduct sound business research so as to increase their operational capital and skills in order to expand and grow their projects. The study concluded that the SME industry is a fertile ground for investment for Uganda, SME owners, and SACCOs.

LAGOS: learning health systems and how they can integrate with patient care

ProblemLearning health systems (LHS) are an underexplored concept. How LHS will operate in clinical practice is not well understood. This paper investigates the relationships between LHS, clinical care process specifications (CCPS) and the established levels of medical practice to enable LHS integration into daily healthcare practice.MethodsConcept analysis and thematic analysis were used to develop an LHS characterisation. Pathway theory was used to create a framework by relating LHS, CCPS, health information systems and the levels of medical practice. A case study approach evaluates the framework in an established health informatics project.ResultsFive concepts were identified and used to define the LHS learning cycle. A framework was developed with five pathways, each having three levels of practice specificity spanning population to precision medicine. The framework was evaluated through application to case studies not previously understood to be LHS.DiscussionClinicians show limited understanding of LHS, increasing resistance and limiting adoption and integration into care routine. Evaluation of the presented framework demonstrates that its use enables: (1) correct analysis and characterisation of LHS; (2) alignment and integration into the healthcare conceptual setting; (3) identification of the degree and level of patient application; and (4) impact on the overall healthcare system.ConclusionThis paper contributes a theoretical framework for analysis, characterisation and use of LHS. The framework allows clinicians and informaticians to correctly identify, characterise and integrate LHS within their daily routine. The overall contribution improves understanding, practice and evaluation of the LHS application in healthcare.

Nietzsches Wiederholung Spinozas. Ein problemgeschichtlicher Bezug der Konzepte des conatus und des Willens zur Macht

To what extent does Nietzsche’s concept of Will to Power succeed Spinoza’s concept of conatus? In our approach, based on the history of problems, concepts are viewed as an answer to certain philosophically relevant issues. The concept of conatus is an attempt to solve, among others, the problems of creatio continua, teleology, the will as a faculty, and normativity. Nietzsche reconsiders them, explicitly or implicitly, in a conceptual setting that has much changed over the subsequent two hundred years, and reacts on them with his concept of Will to Power. Such a reconsideration of problems can be conceived as a repetition in the sense of Deleuze, i. e. a repetition that comprises temporal shifts and differences. It is required if problems are considered still as unsolved, or if their former solution seems no longer plausible. The concept of conatus appears therefore in a particular way as an impulse and stimulus for Nietzsche’s own philosophy of Will to Power which is discussed here mainly by recurring to Boscovich. The above mentioned problems arise from ontological concerns, but are ethically oriented in the end, according to Spinoza’s main work The Ethics. A special focus is put on understanding affects as expressions of the conatus on the one hand, and the Will to Power on the other.

Reframing the Compositional Capability: A Resource-Based View on ‘A Composition-Based View of Firm Growth’

This commentary targets the core ideas of the composition-based view (CBV). First, we argue that the deployment of compositional capabilities (CCs) to combine ordinary resources fits the resource-based view (RBV) and that there is therefore no need for a CBV. Second, we argue that the CCs should be presented as a specific type of dynamic capability (DC). We show that even where ordinary resources are being combined, superior combinatory capabilities are needed as competitive advantage cannot otherwise be achieved. Third, we argue that Luo and Child (2015) focused too much on the emerging economy enterprises (EEEs) as the conceptual setting. We conclude with a future research agenda to prepare the ground for research on compositional capabilities within the composition-based view of the firm.

1. The Conceptual Setting

It seems to have become the custom for the author of a paper on archaeological methodology to provide his readers with a review of the theoretical trends of the discipline. The general outline of these trends must by now be the common property of all literate anthropologists. do not consider it improper, therefore, to refrain from repeating a summary of them here. Much more important to this study of the nature of archaeological inference is a statement of the present aims of the discipline and the role which inference is expected to play in achieving these aims.Phillips and Willey (1953: 616) succinctly describe the proper ends of archaeological research:The ultimate objective of archeology is the creation of an image of life within the limits of the residue that is available from the past. The procedural objectives toward such a goal may be dichotomized into reconstructions of space-time relationships, on the one hand, and contextual relationships on the other.
