Relying on network technology, the integration of personalized learning and Internet technology has become another trending industry. This paper explores a new strategy for education management, that is, a personalized information push system based on recommendation algorithms. The system can push personalized learning resources for teachers and students and help them quickly locate interest points and learning directions by analyzing their usage history and tag attribute characteristics. The personalized information push algorithm achieves data fidelity by pre-cleaning or pre-processing the data. In addition, after the clustering algorithm is integrated into the system, its computing efficiency and mining depth are greatly improved than before. At the same time, based on collaborative filtering technology, this paper introduces information entropy and standard deviation to optimize the core algorithm, so as to distinguish the similarity between users, and further push recommendation accuracy and precision to a higher level. Finally, the existing problems in the current development of big data education management are analyzed, and future development strategies are proposed. To sum up, the personalized information recommendation system proposed in this study has a lower MAE value, so this has forward-looking significance for enhancing the depth of interactive learning and changing the inherent learning mode.

: Artificial Intelligence is no more the talk of the fiction read in novels or seen in movies. It has been making inroads slowly and gradually in medical education and clinical management of patients apart from all other walks of life. Recently, chatbots particularly ChatGPT, were developed and trained, using a huge amount of textual data from the internet. This has made a significant impact on our approach in medical science. Though there are benefits of this new technology, a lot of caution is required for its use. : [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore structural drivers and barriers that distinguish US business school Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME) signatories from nonsignatory peer institutions, and identify structural drivers of PRME institution strategic integration of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into their ongoing responsible management education reports. Design/methodology/approach: This study uses a case–control method to compare the US PRME signatory sample to a size-matched random sample of US business management programs/schools. This study uses conditional inference tree and correlation analyses to highlight distinctive structural characteristics associated with US PRME signatories and with their strategies to highlight sustainability through the SDGs. Findings: There are significant and practically meaningful structural differences between US-based PRME signatories and US programs/schools that have not adopted the PRME principles. Further, PRME schools differentially integrate SDGs in their information sharing based on structural characteristics. Practical implications: Understanding school/program characteristics that align with PRME and different sustainability strategies affords a better comprehension of where targeted resources might be most effective in broadening the appeal and adoption of PRME and subsequent sustainability strategy integration. Originality/value: While previous work on PRME signatories has depended heavily on case studies of successful implementation and has examined the content of PRME activity by school, the present work compares the population of actual US signatories with a random sample of nonsignatories to determine leverage points for enacting broader PRME adoption. The study also examines the strategies that PRME schools use to integrate the UN SDGs and the structures that support such. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The expansion of research data availability and production has highlighted the need for proper training in data stewardship. Recent years have seen both incentivized and mandated research data management plans enacted by institutions and funding agencies as a way of supporting more open and integrated data-intensive research. Despite the advancement of data management as a practice and profession, those charged with maintaining and curating research data remain understudied. By investigating what and how data management is realized and who is involved, a discussion on the current educational needs, the trajectory of professions, and an assessment of potential educational needs of those entering the workforce can progress. A job analysis survey was developed to validate the tasks identified from two prior interview studies of Earth Science data managers. This survey was distributed to the Federation of Earth Science Information Partners membership and responses validate prior job analyses work as well as provide other educational consideration related to tools and necessary skills to conduct frequent job tasks. The most frequent activities and necessary knowledge, skills, and abilities of current data managers will inform future avenues of inquiry, provide context for current research, and direct research data management education.

Mass shootings in schools raise important questions about how best to keep individuals safe and increase survivability in such situations. One of the most common techniques used is lockdown drills, which train individuals to build time and space between them and the threat. Despite their use in 95% of public K-12 schools nationwide, their efficacy is regularly called into question. The present two-pronged study examines the role of lockdowns both in practice (via drills) and in real-world events to answer this question. Findings indicate that continued training and drills builds and maintains skill mastery relative to correct deployment of the lockdown procedure, while the use of these tools in real-world events like mass school shootings can have a protective effect, leading to fewer injuries and deaths. Based on these findings, implications for policymakers and school administrators tasked with keeping students and staff safe are offered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: The growing uncertainty in the world because of economic factors, political issues, natural disasters, global COVID-19 outbreak and technological advancements, make effective risk management (RM) an essential successful strategy for various industries, especially higher education (HE) industry to overcome uncertainties for success. The purpose of this systematic literature review (SLR) is to present a current overview of RM in HE from 2005 to 2021, with a focus on common risk management practised in HE industry, antecedents towards RM implementation and outcomes of RM. Design/methodology/approach: The publication standard for this SLR was RepOrting Standards for Systematics Evidence Syntheses. Scopus, one of the most prominent scientific databases, was used to select articles. Only articles from the years 2005 to 2021 were studied. This study focussed on RM in the HE industry. Findings: This review identified three main themes: common risk management practised in HE industry, antecedents towards RM implementation and outcomes of RM. An additional ten sub-themes were derived from the three main themes. Originality/value: This paper systematically reviewed developments of RM research in HE from year 2005 to 2021, leads to a clearer understanding of RM issues in HE institutions. The findings allow interested parties to better understand RM and enables top management to create their own personalised list of drivers and implementation policies to respond to risks and uncertainties.

The growth of non-profit organizations has led to a proliferation of non-profit management education (NME) courses across different curricula. We use survey data from a two-semester NME course with a substantive board service requirement to investigate what affects students' intent to recommend an NME course to other MBA students. Drawing 65 responses from predominantly MBA students who had completed the course between 2011 and 2018, we found that course concept understanding and skill transfer affected students' intent to recommend. Implications for practice are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To move from the gap between industry and academia, educators must review and change instructional content to meet industry demands. By addressing the industry imperative for leadership skills, this exploratory study evaluates the most prominent leadership style among faculty who implement leadership pedagogy in the classroom. The researchers surveyed hospitality management faculty through an online survey. The majority of respondents identified as transformational leaders, indicating leadership integration as highly important. The two most frequently integrated instruction methods were student-led discussions and delegation of group tasks. No significant relationship existed between methods of leadership integration and leadership style. Findings from this research contribute how educational leaders influence leadership skills and competency integration in classroom instruction. Recommendations included conducting further studies of hospitality management educators' leadership styles, enhanced statistical tests to build significant results to methods of transformation leadership in classroom instruction, and effective leadership training for hospitality management educators and administrators.

Introduction: Managing postoperative pain requires an individualized approach in order to balance adequate pain control with risk of persistent opioid use and narcotic abuse associated with inappropriately outsized narcotic prescriptions. Shared decision-making has been proposed to address individual pain management needs. We report here the results of a quality improvement initiative instituting prescribing guidelines using shared decision-making and preoperative pain expectation and management education to decrease excess opioid pills after surgery and improve patient satisfaction. Methods: Pre-intervention prescribing habits were obtained by retrospective review perioperative pharmacy records for patients undergoing general surgeries in the 24 months prior to initiation of intervention. Patients scheduled to undergo General Surgery procedures were given a survey at their preoperative visit. Preoperative education was performed by the surgical team as a part of the Informed Consent process using a standardized handout and patients were asked to choose the number of narcotic pills they wished to obtain within prescribing recommendations. Postoperative surveys were administered during or after their 2-week postoperative visit. Results: 131 patients completed pre-intervention and post-intervention surveys. The average prescription size decreased from 12.29 oxycodone pills per surgery prior to institution of pathway to 6.80 pills per surgery after institution of pathway (p < 0.001). The percentage of unused pills after surgery decreased from an estimated 70.5% pre-intervention to 48.5% (p < 0.001) post-intervention. 61.1% of patients with excess pills returned or planned to return medication to the pharmacy with 16.8% of patients reporting alternative disposal of excess medication. Patient-reported satisfaction was higher with current surgery compared to prior surgeries (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Institution of procedure-specific prescribing recommendations and preoperative pain management education using shared decision-making between patient and provider decreases opioid excess burden, resulting in fewer unused narcotic pills entering the community. Furthermore, allowing patients to participate in decision-making with their provider results in increased patient satisfaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The research aims to develop a suggested proposal for applying Evidence-Based Management (EBM) in pre-university education institutions in Egypt as an approach to develop the management practices of their leaders. To achieve this aim, the theoretical framework of the research explored the theoretical foundations of the (EBM) approach and their implications on the management practices in education institutions. The research was also concerned with determining the current state of the (EBM) approach in pre-university education institutions in Egypt. Descriptive research method was used as it is appropriate to the topic of the research, which focuses mainly on exploring the nature of the (EBM) as a quite new management development approach to the field of educational management. A preliminary copy of the suggested proposal was developed and presented to a number of experts in the field of educational administration and educational planning to seek their views on it. Implementing the experts’ suggestions, a final copy of the suggested proposal was developed. It included: the proposal’s premises, goals, components, enablers to its implementation, expected obstacles to its implementation, and the mechanisms to overcome them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Due to COVID-19, there was a sudden shift from offline campus learning to emergency remote learning. Consequently, there is little understanding of students' preferences, perceptions, and attitudes regarding online education. This research paper aims to bridge this gap through the study conducted over 3 months in three stages for business management students. Our study focuses on learning preferences, barriers, benefits, and opportunities in online learning during pandemic times. Our research has significant managerial implications. Our study concludes that making the online content more interactive, project-based, and less dependent on the live classes (by providing prerecorded lessons and notes) with clear communication of learning outcomes will benefit the students.

This study, which was part of a larger study, adopted a convergent parallel research design to ascertain attributes of school management team (SMT) members as determinants of education quality. Participants were 60 SMT members randomly sampled from the 20 participating schools. Questionnaire reliability and validation were respectively determined by Cronbach's alpha coefficient and through a pilot study. Quantitative data were descriptive statistically analysed using SPSS version 22 and qualitative data through content analysis. The study found that SMTs were aware that there were legislation mandates that guide the management of quality education but viewed schools as not utilising such mandates. SMTs also viewed schools as having clear vision and mission statements which they neither displayed nor implement. Most factors that support high-quality education were missing in schools. Participants believed that holding SMTs responsible for subpar school performance and performance measurement and monitoring were necessary prerequisites for the provision and administration of high-quality education. Recommendations included mandating SMTs to effectively manage each school's physical and human resources in accordance with legislative requirements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: This paper aims to explore whether formal, non-formal, and informal learning experiences contribute to developing sustainable development competencies (SDCs) among students in a Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME) signatory business school. Design/methodology/approach: An online survey based on the students' learning experiences and a questionnaire on sustainability competencies already validated in the literature were given to a sample of 274 bachelor students at a PRME signatory business school. Nominal variables representing students' categories were created to test a set of hypotheses developed according to the literature. Because the data was not normally distributed, non-parametric independent-samples Mann–Whitney U test was conducted, and descriptive statistics was used to help the analysis. Findings: The results suggest that a hybrid format with a combination of formal, non-formal and informal learning experiences is essential to maximising the development of SDCs and raising students' sustainability literacy. Research limitations/implications: This study is one of the first attempts to understand the importance of a hybrid approach in developing sustainable competencies (SDCs). Future studies could adopt longitudinal analysis to check the development of these competencies over time, assess students from different PRME signatory schools or comparing students to those in non-signatory business schools. Practical implications: This study provides insight into how business schools could address challenges in developing sustainable competencies through redirecting their educational systems by balancing formal, informal and non-formal learning approaches to educate future responsible leaders. Originality/value: This research provides evidence on how a hybrid learning approach could maximise the development of sustainable development competencies and, therefore, generating insights for educational policies.

Background: High-fidelity simulations based on real-life clinical scenarios have frequently been used to improve patient care, knowledge and teamwork in the acute care setting. Still, they are seldom included in the allergy-immunology curriculum or continuous medical education. Our main goal was to assess if critical care simulations in allergy improved performance in the clinical setting. Methods: Advanced anaphylaxis scenarios were designed by a panel of emergency, intensive care unit, anesthesiology and allergy-immunology specialists and then adapted for the adult allergy clinic setting. This simulation activity included a first part in the high-fidelity simulation-training laboratory and a second at the adult allergy clinic involving actors and a high-fidelity mannequin. Participants filled out a questionnaire, and qualitative interviews were performed with staff after they had managed cases of refractory anaphylaxis. Results: Four nurses, seven allergy-immunology fellows and six allergy/immunologists underwent the simulation. Questionnaires showed a perceived improvement in aspects of crisis and anaphylaxis management. The in-situ simulation revealed gaps in the process, which were subsequently resolved. Qualitative interviews with participants revealed a more rapid and orderly response and improved confidence in their abilities and that of their colleagues to manage anaphylaxis. Conclusion: High-fidelity simulations can improve the management of anaphylaxis in the allergy clinic and team confidence. This activity was instrumental in reducing staff reluctance to perform high-risk challenges in the ambulatory setting, thus lifting a critical barrier for implementing oral immunotherapy at our adult center.

Various curricula and educational materials for responsible management education (RME) have been developed by business schools from different parts of the world for sustainable development. There is, however, limited research on the effectiveness of these courses. By conducting surveys before and after the semester among business students from two RME courses, this study investigated the impacts on students' awareness of and attitudes toward ethical and sustainable issues in business practices. Findings show that students have enriched their understanding of the issues, have a positive attitude toward RME, but need a stronger driver of behavioral change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article is the result of a master's survey and has as its theme the democratic school management in public schools in the city of Manaus (AM). The objective is to analyze the process of democratic school management of municipal schools in Manaus. We used the field research, of qualitative nature using the semi-structured interview, using a recorder for data collection, in four schools that make up the structural organization of SEMED Manaus. Based on the analysis, the results indicate that there is no clear understanding of how Democratic Management has been materialized in public schools, for the interviewees this category is related to norms, disciplines and rules that should be indispensable in the school organization, leading to the need for a constant dialogue with society in order to reflect on the real meaning of democratic school management.

• Urinary tract infection (UTI) was found in 14 of 145 patients (9.6%), with recurrent UTI in 11 (7.6%). A total of 93% of UTIs occurred during the first 6 months post-transplant and represented 52% of kidney transplant readmissions during the same period. A total of 64.3% of patients were older than 50 years. • The most common bacterial isolates in early recurrent UTI were Escherichia coli in 80.9%. Both extended-spectrum beta-lactamases and multidrug-resistant organisms (resistance in ?3 drugs) were seen in 82.4% of isolates. • Recurrent UTI did not affect graft function after 1 year. • Behavioral education significantly reduced the incidence of recurrent UTI. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most prevalent type of kidney transplant (KT) recipients. We aimed to investigate the incidence, causes, and clinical impact of early recurrent UTI post-living donor KT and to examine the role of behavioral education program in management. This retrospective cohort chart-review study included all KT recipients with recurrent UTI necessitating hospital admission between September 2017 and August 2021. All patients with recurrent UTI were subjected to behavioral education for a month. UTI was found in 14 of 145 patients (9.6%), with recurrent UTI in 11 (7.6%). A total of 93% of UTIs occurred during the first 6 months post-transplant and represented 52% of KT readmissions during the same period. A total of 64.3% of patients were older than 50 years. The mean (SD) length of hospital stay was 5 (2.5) days, with an equal incidence in both sexes. The most common bacterial isolates in early recurrent UTI were Escherichia coli in 80.9%. Both Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases and multidrug-resistant organisms (resistance in ≥3 drugs) were seen in 82.4% of isolates. Furthermore, the most effective antibiotic was meropenem, with 86.7% effectiveness. A total of 65% of UTIs were managed with a single antibacterial course. A total of 64.3% of patients were older than 50 years. In patients who developed UTI, the mean (SD) serum creatinine was 1.31 (0.52) mg/dL, with a mean increase in serum creatinine of 0.19 mg/dL on having the episodes; at 1 year post-transplant, serum creatinine declined to 1.23 (0.43) mg/dL. Four patients (36%) had no recurrence of UTI after behavioral education. The multidrug-resistant bacterial isolates account for 82.4% of the UTIs. Therefore, antibiotic prescription should follow the antimicrobial stewardship guidelines. Behavioral education significantly reduced the incidence of recurrent UTI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Covid-19 pandemic has reinforced remote teaching (RT) as a trend in management education. This research reflects on the central elements that make RT a transformative learning (TL) experience, based on a case study of a TL-anchored sustainability discipline that was migrated to RL during the pandemic. Theoretically, we propose a framework or reference that combines TL, education for sustainability (EfS), and communicative ecosystem (CE) theories; we also extend the concept of RL, coining the term 'transformative remote teaching' (TRT). With regard to practice, students' feedback points to three elements that are key for TRT: exploring different windows of knowledge; rethinking the teaching role; and adapting tools to support the teaching-learning process. We conclude by highlighting the need to approach education in ways anchored in epistemological, paradigmatic, and transformative changes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One of the educational programs implemented to overcome the issue of discrimination in the field of education is inclusive education. The teacher is one of the important figures in the practice of inclusion in school institutions, because the teacher interacts directly with students, both students with special needs and nonspecial needs students. This study uses a descriptive qualitative research approach. In this study the researchers wanted to describe the management of the implementation of inclusive education in the learning process and the teacher’s handling of children with special needs (ABK). The research data was obtained through interviews, observation and documentation. Based on the description of the results of the research and discussion that has been carried out by researchers related to the management of inclusive education in the learning process and the handling of teachers for children with special needs, they must carry out management functions related to planning, organizing, activating, coordinating, directing and supervising starting from the process of learning strategies, learning media, teacher attitudes and evaluation of learning outcomes Suggestions for inclusive education programs to become school programs that can be implemented to avoid discrimination against all students in education.

In the current economic context of the energy crisis caused by global warming, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the increased prices for fuel and gas, new requirements are imposed on the educational system. International energetic trade, the use of renewable sources, energy saving, and energy efficiency have become common terms in education since childhood. Energy education should be based on new concepts, new rules, and trends, linked to EU regulations, and rapidly implemented at the national level. The requirements for each level of education, together with related projects developed in the EU states and Romania are presented separately. The new approaches to teaching energy management in secondary schools and universities are detailed separately. The main steps, directions, and recommendations of the implementation plan are mentioned both for primary and secondary schools and high schools and universities. The paper ends with some conclusions as necessary and future action steps and with some recommendations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ethnography is a rich research tradition originating from sociocultural anthropology that aims to vividly represent cultural meaning through fieldwork and thick description. Ethnographic fieldwork is known for unearthing surprises, and ethnographers are often convinced that, had they used another approach, they would have been unable to explain fully what was going on in the research setting. Ethnography in nonprofit studies is increasing, but sparse. This article argues that introducing more tales of the nonprofit field could deepen the analysis of how nonprofit organizing works, bridge the nonprofit research–practice divide, challenge the Western ethnocentricity of nonprofit studies, bring the sector's periphery to the forefront and enhance nonprofit management education. However, to benefit from ethnographic work, the nonprofit field must embrace alternative norms of composition and rigor. The starting point is conversation and community among nonprofit ethnographers to foster such work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The ideas, rules, and laws of human education were initially based on stories, pandnoms, written monuments, and folklore, and later on, they strengthen their position as an independent science. Indeed, our ancestors paid special attention to child education from time immemorial. Imam al-Bukhari, -Isa at-Termizny, Berunny, Az-Zamakhshari, Navoi, Babur, Ogahi, great scientists, writers, virtuous people like Abdurauf Fitrat, Abdulhamid Cholpon, wrote many works on education. "The City of Virtuous People" by Faro Bey, who is considered the founder of Eastern pedagogy, "Qutadgu Bilig" by Yusuf Khos Hajib, "Mahbub ul-Qulub" by Alisher Navoi, "Nightmare" by Kaikovus, and "Futuvvatnamai Sultani" by Vaiz Koshfi are proof of this. It is known from history that Eastern pedagogy once flourished. When the German scientist Herler said, "The East is the teacher of Europe", he probably meant this period of development.

The Covid-19 crisis has affected education management, and now, family members must accomplish tasks previously performed by the school. This study aims to examine it in primary education from the perspective of 638 families with children at that level. It uses a quantitative methodological approach. Results show that most families have maintained their already established work routines. However, families must now combine them with the supervision of the children's school tasks, which falls mainly to mothers, regardless of their working situation. However, a significant number of families are not attending to their children's school tasks adequately, which could lead to severe inequalities in the education field. This situation offers an opportunity to establish fairer and more balanced strategies and synergies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A trend for universities in the United States to embrace high-impact educational practices in curricula to enrich student learning experience has emerged over the last couple decades. During a curriculum revision in 2017, the faculty at Auburn University made the decision to add a stand-alone, service-learning course as a requirement for graduation. The service-learning course is centered on a construction project that serves the community and incorporates the application of various critical facets of construction management: engagement and communication with all stakeholders, planning, estimating, scheduling, and constructing the project. The research focused on perceptions of the execution and efficacy of the course from two primary stakeholder groups: students and clients. The results show the students increased their interpersonal engagement, management skills, civic responsibility, and understanding of diverse needs by the end of the semester. While clients and students noted major challenges in logistics, project planning, and scheduling, the results illustrate the effort to deliver this high-impact educational experience for the students was worthwhile and had a beneficial effect in the engaged communities. Dissemination of the results may be useful in starting a stand-alone long-term construction management service-learning course at other institutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: This study aims to examine the characteristics of scientific publications that address the management of higher education institution (HEI) libraries from a sustainability perspective, through a bibliometric analysis, to contribute to the development of knowledge and to identify opportunities for further research. Design/methodology/approach: The knowledge development process-constructivist instrument was used to select a portfolio of 24 articles that are scientifically acknowledged and aligned with the theme "Sustainable Management of Libraries in Higher Education Institutions" and delimited by the authors. This study, guided by a constructivist perspective, was carefully conducted to discern selections that differ from traditional definitions. The analysis followed a qualitative approach and used the following variables: fruitful authors, connection networks between authors and vision of sustainability (the degree of dimensional coverage). Findings: The analysis of the literature highlighted the partnerships of authors from countries belonging to the American continent as the most involved in research on the subject and the evolution from a one-dimensional view – centred on the environment – to a multidimensional view. Originality/value: The understanding is that library management in HEIs, from a sustainability perspective, is an essential aspect of institutional legitimacy for the stakeholders. Therefore, sustainability should be treated in a multidimensional way and integrated with the institution's values. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Colombia, numerous methods have been implemented to measure the efficacy of secondary education institutions. The purpose of this study is to establish the efficiency of these institutions, using an innovative methodology known as Stochastic Non-Parametric Envelopment Analysis of Data (StoNED) with an output-oriented measurement. A visualization of the relationship between efficiency and the management of the education secretariats by department is proposed. Institutions are taken as decision units, based on the results of students' SABER 11 tests, considering two levels of aggregation, by institution and by department. A slight difference is found in the proportion of institutions that present technical efficiency with respect to those that do not. Moreover, it is identified that most of the institutions that do not present technical efficiency are those of an official nature, and those located in rural areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The construction of ecological civilization and sustainable development has been paid more and more attention by China, and green education (GE) has become an important part of university education. Green development and lifestyle have become an inevitable trend. Strengthening GE for university students and helping them establish green management (GM) awareness have become important measures to implement the national strategy of "ecological priority and green development". Many Chinese universities are also actively promoting green management education (GME), and these measures of GME influence university students' awareness of GM and strengthen the action process and mechanism of their green behavior (GB), which need to be further clarified. Therefore, Chinese university students studying at schools of economic and management of agriculture and forestry universities were taken as the research objects, and based on Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), a model of the effect of GME on university students' GB is established to deeply explore the path and effect, which provides decision-making reference for universities to carry out GME in depth.

E-waste management is undoubtedly one of the important environmental concerns at present because the dependence on electronic devices has increased. There have been policies, legal provisions, and advocacy undertakings educating and introducing ways to manage and properly dispose of e-waste in the region yet there is no clear understanding of these practices, particularly in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The present study evaluates the e-waste management implementation of HEIs in South Central Mindanao, Philippines using survey questionnaires and in-depth interviews with 13 HEI representatives. The surveys showed that 39% of the HEIs have an annual budget of less than PhP100,000.00 (USD 1,950). Moreover, 23% of HEIs annually purchase 10-60 units of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) equipment. E-waste management among HEIs shows that 53.8% of ICT and electronic devices end up in landfills and 23.1% in informal sectors like junk shops. It can be noted that the yearly generation of e-waste among HEIs highly impacts the rise in the usage of IT equipment and electronic devices. Lack of awareness, e-waste disposal facilities, priorities, audit resolution and procedure and no definite legislation or laws among HEIs are the main challenges for e-waste management in the region. This study prompts mainstream e-waste management in HEIs and enlightens the public about appropriate strategies to address this issue. Furthermore, the findings of this study can be useful in formulating national and regional e-waste management plans and programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Universities are considered the main place for university students to study and live and also shoulder the important task of training talents for the future of our country. As a manager of university education and the relevant supervisor of education and teaching, it must constantly seek more efficient teaching mode and use the new communication platform in order to solve the current problems in the management of higher education. Since the media platform plays an important role in the social and political and economic life, it affects the way of education and the way of thinking in universities. Self-media technology promotes the communication between teachers and students in the teaching process. Educators can carry out a variety of teaching through the media, which innovates the educational methods of the University. This fully reflects the advantages of we media teaching in the media era. As a new means of information dissemination, the self-media platform not only has the traditional media communication functions but also gradually affects the way of thinking and lifestyles of university students to promote their correct world outlook, outlook on life, and formation of values. In this paper, self-media platform is used for university education and operation management process to conduct a systematic analysis and research. The Delphi method is used to screen out five major dimensions of hardware platform, content construction, communication mode, the quality of teachers and students in universities, and the environment of media network dissemination and interpret the positive effects of self-media platform in improving university teaching and operation management efficiency. Based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, the importance distribution of the five dimensions is identified and an optimal path of university education operation and management is constructed to improve the overall efficiency of university education operation and management.

Scientific and technological innovation is the source of the survival and development of enterprises and the key to the realization of the goal of prosperity. In recent years, more and more companies have begun to focus on technological innovation, but the results are not significant, so companies have begun to explore the factors that affect their technological innovation. The management is the helm of the development of the enterprise, the main body of the company's actual production activities, and the direct person in charge of the company's management. Its influence on the innovation of the enterprise is self-evident, and the education level of the management directly determines the manager's ability and vision. However, the current research on management mainly focuses on the position change of management and the rights of management and does not involve the level of education of management. Based on this, this article started from the management education and subdivided it with the K-means clustering algorithm, so as to explore the impact of management education on the technological innovation of enterprises. The experiment showed that there was a significant positive correlation between the educational level of management and the technological innovation ability of enterprises, and the correlation coefficient was 1.521. It fully shows that the management with a higher education background will promote the enterprise to carry out scientific and technological innovation practice and continuously improve the enterprise's innovation ability.

To construct the network organizational structure of college students' educational management and realize the informatization development of college students' educational management, the construction method of network organizational structure of college students' educational management is proposed based on the distributed network. MySQL and PostgreSQL are used as the bottom data structure models of the network-based organizational structure of college students' education management, and the multisource information scheduling method, which is used to construct the transaction identifier (TID) labeling tuple model of college students' education management network. The initial topological structure model of the network-based organizational structure nodes of college students' education management network is constructed by the 4-tuple model, and the linear structure decomposition of the construction nodes of the network-based organizational structure of college students' education management is carried out. The correlation characteristics of the transmission channel of the network organization structure of college students' education management are extracted; the three-layer architecture system of data layer, network layer, and application layer is adopted; the architecture model of the network organization structure of college students' education management is established; the multinode distributed network transmission technology is used to build a tree structure model, so as to realize the design of the network organization structure model of college students' education management and the scheduling of multi-source information parameters; and the fuzzy multi-attribute decision-making method to realize the adaptive scheduling of the network organization structure of college students' education management is adopted, so as to improve the storage management, fault tolerance, and safe access ability of the network organization structure of college students' education management. The test results show that the network organizational structure of college students' educational management is designed by this method, which improves the ability of information transmission and scheduling and improves the informatization level of college students' educational management.

In some remote areas and even some vocational colleges, the information management of students is still stagnant on paper. Such traditional methods have obviously lagged behind the development and needs of society. The traditional manual management is a waste of both manpower and material resources. In today's rapidly developing information age, it is very necessary to study an efficient vocational education management system. The vocational education management system designed in this paper includes Web server, DB server, college management terminal, and load balancing switch. In this system, CONN.ASP is a common module of all ASP programs in the whole system. It is mainly used to realize the connection between ASP program and database and the calling of common function submodules. In order to reduce the power consumption of the vocational education management system, the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) theory is proposed in this paper. This algorithm can effectively save the size of the storage unit and the number and frequency of reading the twiddle factor, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the operation speed. This paper randomly selected the scores of 10 classes and use the system for data processing test. A total of 50% of teachers were particularly satisfied with the tables generated by the discrete Fourier transform-based vocational education management system. They believed that the vocational education management system based on discrete Fourier transform is very fast in data processing, and the processing speed was within 0.1 s. The system designed in this paper can meet various demands in vocational education management and continuously enhance the function of educational administration management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The teacher education management system is crucial to the operation of the teacher education system (TES). It is the core institutional system of the TES, which stipulates the management authority and functional scope of the relevant departments of the TES. After the new pluralistic and open TES is formed, the original management system must be adjusted accordingly. In this context, this article integrates public mental health (PMH) into the diversified and open management system of TES and then uses a neural network to evaluate and complete the following tasks: (1) this article introduces the development status of diversified and open TES management systems at home and abroad and the importance of public psychology courses to teacher education. (2) The framework of TES integrating PMH is proposed, and then the principles of BPNN and gray wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm are introduced, and the IGWO-BPNN model is constructed accordingly. (3) The convergence and fitness of the IGWO-BP model and the GWO-BP model are compared through experiments, which proves the superiority of the performance of the IGWO-BP model. The optimal model is constructed by selecting parameters, and then the output of the model is compared with the expert evaluation results, and the error is small. It is proved that the model has superior performance in evaluating the professional quality of teacher education. (4) This article selects three professional quality evaluation indicators of teacher education to compare the changes before and after the integration of PMH. The results show that the proposed diversified and open management system of TES integrating PMH can effectively improve the professional quality of teachers in all aspects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Colleges and universities are crucial hubs for talent development, carrying out the vital task of supplying top-notch talent for all spheres of society. The growth of society and the economy is significantly influenced by the quality of education and teaching. A significant factor is the caliber of the instruction. Therefore, it is essential to innovate the educational management model in order to promote the holistic development of college students as well as the orderly development of educational and teaching activities in colleges and universities. The college and university music education model has made progress after years of development. In spite of its successes in reform, there are still a lot of issues that require close attention. The education system is constantly being updated and improved in order to meet modern development needs. It is essential to develop innovative strategies with strong operability from multiple perspectives in response to the actual issues that arise in order to carry out the reform work smoothly and steadily advance the innovation of the management model of music education in colleges and universities. This paper analyzes the teaching impact of the single-line education management model and the credit system education management model and predicts the students' musical performance based on the gray theoretical model and the big data platform. The experiment revealed that as learning time increases, the teaching effects of the two learning modes increase, but it is evident that the credit system education management mode's teaching effect is superior. The single-line education management model among them has an average score of 83.3 points, and the credit system education management model has an evaluation score of 86.1 points.

Higher education has a major role to play in social progress, technology, and economic development. However, as the number of students enrolled in higher education increases, the quality of graduates is declining and their ability to work is being questioned. Therefore, it is very important to effectively evaluate the quality of teaching and learning. With this in mind, an evaluation approach using data mining based on wireless networks is proposed in this paper. In the educational work of universities, data mining helps to assist universities to improve management efficiency and teaching effectiveness in managing students by mining and analyzing large-scale educational data. In order to improve their teaching management, this paper uses the Apriori method among correlation rule mining methods. The algorithm is improved in terms of time efficiency, and then the improved algorithm is used to mine and analyze the impact of teachers' age, title, educational background, and student performance on teaching quality evaluation. The results of the exploration showed that, through the mining algorithm, it was found that the student's evaluation was proportional to the student's performance. For example, the average grade was excellent, and most evaluation grades were excellent. Its support level was 26% and its confidence level was 62.5%, indicating that more than half of the students met its characteristics. It also showed that the results were real, and the quality of teachers' teaching could be known through the results of students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the rapid development of modern society and the popularization of information equipment, information transmission has broken the time and space constraints, and political education (PE) can be carried out anytime and anywhere. Micro media is the product of the rapid development of science and technology, which has brought us into a new "micro era." The research on the "micro era" has been the focus of academic attention in recent years. Especially with the popularization of micro media, its influence on people is becoming deeper, making more scholars in academic circles devote themselves to the "micro era" under study. However, while micro media is widely used by college students (CS), it also brings opportunities and challenges. Therefore, it is particularly important to clarify the opportunities and challenges faced by CS' PE under the background of the "micro era" and put forward practical countermeasures. Starting from the actual situation of PE communication in the micro era, this study analyzes the opportunities and challenges brought by the "micro era" to PE of CS through a questionnaire survey. Then, the effective strategies to improve the PE of CS are explored, in order to improve the ideological and political level of CS in the micro era. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Through a conceptual analysis, this article elaborates the role the hidden curriculum in business schools in fragile states might play in initiating the implementation of responsible management education (RME). I start by elaborating the categories included within the hidden curriculum in business schools and then discuss the challenges of implementing RME. Moving forward by focusing on the theory of education and institutional theory, the author identifies that poor governance practices, the absence of democratic values and outdated formal curriculum, on the one hand, and the permanent accreditation from local authorities, on the other, challenge any attempt to implement responsible management education in fragile states.

Artificial Intelligence is no more the talk of the fiction read in novels or seen in movies. It has been making inroads slowly and gradually in medical education and clinical management of patients apart from all other walks of life. Recently, chatbots particularly ChatGPT, were developed and trained, using a huge amount of textual data from the internet. This has made a significant impact on our approach in medical science. Though there are benefits of this new technology, a lot of caution is required for its use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Monitoring and guiding instructional management require student performance evaluation. Traditional evaluation and analysis methods based on absolute scores, on the other hand, have certain flaws and are unable to fully reflect the information contained in student performance, thus limiting the impact of student performance evaluation on teaching and learning management. Data mining is regarded as the backbone technology for future information processing, and it introduces a new concept to the way humans use data. Schools must analyse and evaluate the performance of students in the same grade level and secondary school in a timely and staged manner. Clustering is a type of data mining that uses similarity rules to classify sample data into groups with a high degree of similarity. To address the difficulties caused by the wide variation in course difficulty in student performance evaluation, a method based on the K-means clustering algorithm is proposed. The K-means algorithm and the improved K-means algorithm with student information are investigated. The test results showed that the K-means clustering algorithm, the improved algorithm in this paper, and the fast global mean clustering algorithm all cluster the same randomly generated data set with noisy points, but the clustering time of the algorithm in this paper is only 0.04, which has obvious advantages. As a result, the clustering algorithm-based higher education management and student performance evaluation mechanism provides some insights for future research on student learning patterns. It is hoped that instructional administrators will gain a better understanding of students' learning characteristics so that they can better guide their teaching. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Nonprofit management classrooms are filled with students who yearn to "do good" in the world and yet, in practice, they confront a dissonance between their vision of doing good and the realities of nonprofit work. This dissonance is in part created by contemporary nonprofit management education (NME) through the development and perpetuation of a selective historical tradition of the nonprofit sector which mythologizes the sector and its work. These traditions and myths of the nonprofit sector are based squarely in white American and Eurocentric values and downplay the histories of people of color and thus perpetuate whiteness as central to nonprofit norms and practice. We present a critical reading of these histories in an effort to help educators and students reclaim and reimagine the histories of the nonprofit sector and offer tenets of a critical pedagogy that emphasizes historical consciousness and a praxis of emancipation so that nonprofit educators and students can re-envision nonprofit theory and practice in the future.

The aim of this study was to examine sleep/wake behaviour and sleep strategies before, during and after ultra-marathon running events exceeding 100 miles (161 km). A total of 119 athletes completed a web-based questionnaire regarding their habitual sleep/wake behaviour before, during, and after ultra-marathon participation. Event-specific data were grouped by race distance categories; 100–149 miles (161–240 km), 150–199 miles (241–321 km), and ≥200 miles (322 km). Athletes commonly reported not sleeping throughout the duration of their races (74%). However, for events that were ≥200 miles, athletes reported more sleep opportunities, longer sleep duration, and more total sleep when compared to events that were 100–149 miles in distance (p ≤ 0.001). This suggests that for races of shorter distances, the benefit of continuous racing outweighs the negative impact of continuous wakefulness/sleep deprivation. However, for longer races (≥200 miles), there is an apparent tradeoff between sleep deprivation and race strategy, whereby athletes cannot sustain a desired level of performance without obtaining sleep. This is consistent with established sleep/wake behaviour models suggesting that sleep need increases as wakefulness increases, or in this case, as race duration increases. For athletes participating in ultra-marathons, sleep management education and/or consultation with a sleep scientist prior to racing may be beneficial. Future research should examine the optimal strategies concerning the frequency and duration of sleep during ultra-marathons and the subsequent impact on performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
