Adoption of digital technology by older adults has become an important topic in academia and the public sphere within the debate on digital inclusion. Likewise, this topic has gained traction in the print media also. This paper assesses the representation of older adults in print media in the past 20 years in The Netherlands and Flanders. A total of 281 articles in the Dutch language were analysed to determine the representation of older adults and their level of agency. We found that they were represented in three manners: a) ambassadors of digital skill acquisition; b) naturally lacking in digital skills; or c) not alone in being helpless. These representations clearly increased during the COVIS-19 crisis. Some representations can be problematic, as the relationship between older adults and digital inclusion is not envisioned positively. Furthermore, they receive no agency to participate actively in the discussion surrounding their own digital inclusion and are too often used as the automatic example of the digitally illiterate – which is not particularly encouraging older adults towards digital skills acquisition.

Introduction: Theory papers have been the most commonly employed method to assess learning outcomes in medical education. In these papers, both recall abilities and higher-order cognitive functions need to be assessed giving proper weightage as per relevance. Hence it becomes necessary that valid assessment methods are employed to evaluate the required objectives/competencies. The objective of the study was to develop a method for analyzing postgraduate question papers of various specialties. Methodology: A rubric matrix was created with three broad objective criteria to assess framing and layout of the questions in each paper, analysis of different sets for same examination, and finally an overall assessment of all the papers for each subject. Results: A total of 28 specialty papers were available. A total number of papers analysed = 340. The overall mean score out of total 60 marks was 38.64 ± 4.5. It was seen that the majority (60%) of the departments have been graded as fair on analysis of the theory papers. None of the departments were graded as very good, while 7% of them were graded as good. Although a very minuscule percentage of the papers had grammatical errors and duplication of questions in the sets, only 57% of the departments had done a proper moderation and 21% had used higher domains of learning for assessment. Conclusion: Analysis of postgraduate question papers showed that the questions asked for postgraduates are more recall-based instead of higher taxonomy of cognitive domain.

The current research aims at studying the conceptual relationship between the science and technology documents through the comparison of vocabularies that are used within the patents and the papers in the field of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV). The research method is descriptive. To perform the research, the patents were retrieved from Google Patents and Lens websites, and the papers from IEEE Explore database. A hybrid keyword-class method was used to conduct the search. It means that the search query was consisted of "Autonomous Underwater Vehicle" keyword and “H” class. The titles and the abstracts of the patents and the papers were automatically indexed through a semi-automatic method. This resulted in 195 keywords for patents and 114 ones for papers. Co-occurrence matrices of these two sets of keywords were created through RavarMatrix software. The hierarchical maps of keywords were drawn by SPSS. Findings show that 65 percent of papers’ keywords are those that occurred within the patents but 23 percent of patents’ keywords are similar to the papers’. The structural comparison of patents and papers clustering’s also revealed that the structural proximity between patents and papers vocabularies is equal to zero. The other finding showed that the similarity between the members of ego networks of prominent keywords is for two cases zero and for others fewer than 15 percent except for the keyword “data”. It may be concluded that the science is affected by technology in the field of AUV.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine 18 issues of the journal of Information Science and Public Libraries. Methodology: This is a survey- descriptive study with a bibliometric approach. Citation analysis, one of the most popular bibliometric techniques, is used. The research population includes 18 issues of the Journal of Information Science and Public Libraries from the beginning of autumn 2008 (1387) to the end of winter 2011 (1391). Findings: The results show the low level of participation by women, but the high level of male participation, in the writing of papers. Public universities, including Tehran University, have the largest share of scientific collaboration with the journal. In terms of the authors' fields, the collaboration of experts in the disciplines of "Library and Information Science" and Management was greater than that of experts from other fields of study. The average number of articles published in each issue of the journal was 7.7. Publication delays in the acceptance of papers indicate that the highest number of papers was accepted by the Journal in 2-3 months. Most of the journal's papers were scholarly research papers. Citing of the English language materials and of the papers occurred more than citing of other types of materials. Originality/Value: The results of citation and bibliometric studies could be important for a range of audiences, including readers, authors, librarians and journal editorials, as these sorts of studies can show a clear picture of the journal function.

This study reviewed the development of accounting education research in Indonesia for 21 years. The reviews were conducted on 428 accounting education articles in the nationally accredited journals from 1999 to 2019. A bibliometric approach and content analysis were used to analyze the articles’ topics, theories, methods, and characteristics. This study also separated the period of 21 years into two decades. The results show that accounting education research topics revolved on curriculum and teaching, content-based teaching, educational technology, students and faculty dominated by many quantitative studies. T-test, regression, and path analysis were the most commonly used data analysis techniques. However, only 86 articles framed the studies with the common behavioral, motivational, and fraud theories. Interestingly, some articles used the “gone theory” which actually never existed. Based on the topic classifications, "students" were the most frequently discussed subjects, followed by the content-based teaching, curriculum and teaching, and lastly teaching staff and educational technology. The results of this study suggest that more studies on accounting curriculum should be conducted emphasizing on technology for the accounting education 4.0.

This study presents a novel integration of bibliometric and content analysis to comprehensively examine the research trends and scientific landscape of paver blocks. The investigation of 379 articles and reviews published across 174 journals reveals a steady growth in research output, with a notable surge in publications and citations from 2016 to 2024, underlining the increasing importance of this field. India, Malaysia, and the United States emerge as major contributors, with India leading in publication count (143) and the United States demonstrating high research impact through total citations (1,312) and citations per paper (48.59). Keyword examination highlights the prominence of sustainable materials, waste utilization, and innovative design strategies, while an in-depth review of highly cited papers unveils the potential for incorporating various waste streams to produce high-quality, eco-friendly paver blocks. Over the years, the research focus has expanded from conventional materials to recycled aggregates, permeable designs, and photocatalytic applications. This study identifies research gaps, such as the need for long-term performance assessment and life cycle analysis, and recommends future directions, including integrating paver blocks into urban planning and design strategies. The findings guide researchers and policymakers in the development of sustainable, resilient, and multifunctional paver block solutions.

Abstract The dominant practice governing sustainability reporting in the private sector is that of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) or Environmental Social Governance (ESG) reporting. CSR has its roots in philanthropy and charitable initiatives, while ESG aims to integrate environmental, social, and governance factors into business practices and decision-making. This paper analyses the transition in sustainability worldviews revealed in corporate sustainability reporting from 2016 to 2021. It uses a longitudinal content analysis methodology applied to a sample of ten multinational companies listed on the South African JSE/FTSE top 40 index. The period for the longitudinal study is framed from when the companies started reporting on ESG. The JSE/FTSE was chosen as the companies listed in the top 40 represent 80% of the value on the JSE (JSE 2020). The qualitative content analysis makes use of the five stages of corporate sustainability model to position companies’ sustainability reports within these five stages (Landrum & Ohsowski, 2018a). The key finding of this paper is that multinational companies have been slow to transition their sustainability reporting practices. The current reports reflect a business-as-usual mindset that is driven by compliance with reporting regulations. There is an absence of reporting that reflects a view of embedding business operations within bounded science-based ecological and social environments.

Sport Mont Journal (SMJ) is a print and electronic scientific journal aims to present easy access to the scientific knowledge for sport-conscious individuals using contemporary methods. SMJ publishes original scientific papers, review papers, editorials, short reports, peer review - fair review, as well as invited papers and award papers in the fields of Sports Science and Medicine. In this working paper, we will analyze the papers from the journals published in 2004. The newspaper was published in 2004 twice, in May and September. In May issue was published 55 articles, and 24 in September. All papers were classified according to the science fields: sports training and training methodology, anthropology, sports history, research methodology, sports pedagogy, sociopsychology of sports, sports management, biomechanics, physiology and other works. A significant number of monographs have also been published in this publication.

The perestroika-time public discussion about the “white spots” of history in the Kaliningrad region focused on the history of East Prussia, which had previously been under a tacit ban. This article analyzes publications about the pre-war past of the region in the popular youth newspaper “Kaliningradskiy komsomolets” from 1985-1991. It examines the process of changing the regional historical narrative and characterizes the transformation of the historical memory of Kaliningrad residents during the years of perestroika. The paper aims to trace how the “discovery” of East Prussian themes occurred, who promoted the new historical narrative and by what means, and the stages through which the process of “appropriation” of the cultural heritage inherited after the war by the inhabitants of the region went. The study utilized a qualitative-quantitative content analysis method of newspaper texts, conducted with the help of the MAX QDA 2020 program. The results were interpreted using the categories of “Our Own” and “the Other” from B. Wandelfels’ philosophical concept and P. Nora’s “place of memory” one. The paper concludes that by the early 1990s, Kaliningrad society had varied approaches to the “pre-Soviet” period ranging from denial of the significance of the “foreign” and “the Other” heritage to its full acceptance as “one’s own”. The analysis of the content of the publications, including the commemorative practices reflected in the newspaper, shows that the regional historical narrative changed during the years of perestroika. The course of “exorcising the Prussian spirit”, approved immediately after the war, although not completely eradicated, became a marginal phenomenon, while the study, preservation, and utilization of the experience and historical and cultural heritage of the predecessors became the dominant trend in which the press of the glasnost’ era played a significant role.

This study explores the evolution of research within project-based organizations, uncovering new trends and identifying promising directions for future inquiries. Employing a comprehensive six-step methodology that combines bibliometric and content analyses, this research assessed term frequency, conceptual interconnections, influential contributors, geographic clusters, and dominant themes shaping the field. The dual-tool strategy using VosViewer and SciMAT enhanced the reliability and depth of our bibliometric analysis, allowing for a nuanced understanding of the interlinks between concepts and the chronological progression of terms. Data from 1,066 papers published between 2000 and 2022, extracted from the Scopus database, were analyzed to visualize six clusters based on 180 frequently used keywords. This analysis not only highlighted the multidisciplinary nature of project-based organization studies, focusing on “project management,” “knowledge management,” and “project-based learning,” but also revealed 28 key terms associated with the project-based organization cluster, emphasizing robust connections to knowledge transfer and management. Additionally, Google Trends analysis showed a growing interest in the topic among non-scholars, mirroring the academic attention it receives. Content analysis of seminal papers, selected based on citations, aligned with the term chronology from the broader sample, pinpointing several vital research directions. This research stands out for its innovative approach, combining dual-tool bibliometric analysis with content analysis to address a significant gap in the literature. It offers reliable and robust results, bridging the disconnect between quantitative data synthesis and qualitative insights to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the field.

The quest for content differentiation and audience engagement is paramount in the competitive landscape of Video-on-Demand (VOD) platforms. The paper proposes a system investigating VOD platform series data to recommend actors and themes to VOD vendors. To achieve this, we analyzed the storylines of 72 VOD movie series to extract keywords. Using these keywords, we generated a network using Social Network Analysis. By examining the network, we identified content gaps. After semantic clustering, we utilized TOPSIS to determine keywords with high centrality scores. These are a foundation for connecting peripheral keywords and generating new content. The paper’s findings suggest that the proposed content-based recommender system can help VOD platforms create innovative storylines by leveraging structural holes in a TV series content keyword graph. The study also suggests that successful directors take risks by combining different keywords from various network parts. This approach allows them to attract a wider range of audiences and increase their chances of success.

The article aims to extend our understanding of physical and psychological types of ambiguous loss through a systematic review based on content and psycholinguistic analysis. The study encompassed articles aligned with ambiguous loss published between 2019-2023, retrieved from PsycINFO, Web of Science (WoS), and Scopus. To eliminate the bias in the literature review, the study extracted published articles, dissertations, book chapters, and preprints with titles containing the search term “ambiguous loss”. Two reviewers (the first and the third authors worked independently) examined titles and abstracts and identified papers highlighting physical (n=34) or psychological (n=23) types of ambiguous loss. The physical type results from physical absence of meaningful persons (e.g. abducted, missing, adopted), while the psychological type results from psychological absence of meaningful persons (e.g. dementia, mental illness, addiction). The study applies the conceptual and relational content analysis of Leximancer (version 4.5) to develop three cluster maps and lists of concepts separately for physical and psychological types and all selected papers published between 2019-2023. The results show that the physical type primarily encompasses situations related to adoption, potentially leading to the ambiguous loss experienced by both biological parents and children when facing forced separation. Psychological type includes parents of children with disabilities, shaken baby syndrome, and caregivers of individuals with brain injuries and cancer. The present study indicates that the conceptual boundaries between physical and psychological types of ambiguous loss are not only expanding but also erasing, giving way to new applications in settings such as the COVID-19 pandemic, organ donor families, and sexual and gender minority. Disclosure Statement No potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors. Data Availability Statement The data that support the findings of this study are openly available in Mendeley Data: Zasiekina, Larysa; Zasiekin, Serhii (2023), “Ambiguous loss_abstracts_2019-2023”, Mendeley Data, V1, https://doi.org/ 10.17632/dscy8m4g37.1 * Corresponding author: Larysa Zasiekina, 0000-0001-8456-0774 zasyekina.larisa@vnu.edu.ua

Purpose: Booking intention in the hotel context has motivated the interest of researchers in recent decades. However, research in this field is fragmented and its understanding presents gaps. The aim of this paper is to identify current trends in booking intention research and to recommend future research directions. Methods: To this end, a bibliometric study and content analysis were conducted on a total of 274 papers published between 2000 and 2022 in the Web of Science database. In particular, VOSviewer, SciMAT and the R software package were used to determine, quantify and visualise research clusters, as well as emerging topics in this field of study. Results: The results revealed the existence of three lines of research that have evolved during the total period studied: (1) the impact of technologies on booking intention, (2) the influence of internal consumer factors on booking intention and (3) the hotel attributes that are most sensitive to booking intention. Finally, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on tourist booking intention is reflected cross-sectionally in the studies, where variables such as consumer trust and perceived risk have become more important. Implications: Consequently, this paper contributes to the current body of literature on booking intention, providing a structured overview of research in this field and suggesting future avenues for research.

This paper examines placemaking and the outcomes of urban design issues in a waterfront area. The fine-grained urban fabric has played an important role in waterfront regeneration schemes globally. Acting towards environmental challenges to provide green spaces has increasingly become a favourable approach since the 2010s. An ideas competition was held in 2020 to address the issues on the waterfront of the Haliç area. The seven semi-structured interviews were conducted to explore the competing discourses on each project created by the teams who attempted to deal with the unsolved urban fabric. Making use of a series of semi-structured interviews, this research paper investigates the existence of the urban fabric as a place-shaping continuum in the Halic area.

In today's modern shipping business environment, there is a shift from traditional to digital marketing. Social media has the most significant potential for companies to reach consumers; thus, this paper aims to discover the intensity and content of the marketing activities of shipping companies through social media. Two different types of companies, the container and multi-purpose ones, are the objects of research, primarily analyzed based on the number of followers, posts, likes, comments, and shares on social media. The results show the highest intensity of Facebook usage for shipping companies. It was also discovered that shipping companies actively use Facebook, and this form of online representation is considered more precise regarding brand awareness and public engagement. The content analysis revealed that shipping companies have no intention of selling services using social media. Namely, there are limited network-building or customer relationship efforts, but activities in Corporate Social Responsibility activities, Employee Brand Management, and Sustainability increase. The paper revealed that shipping companies use digital marketing toward the internal public and employees, increasing marketing and human resource management activities. This paper opens up the possibilities of a more significant application of marketing in the shipping industry, bearing in mind the trends of digitization of maritime operational processes and supply chains.

Background: The attitude of nursing students towards their profession is one of the important factors that have many effects on students and their professional future. A positive attitude leads to academic progress, and in the future, nurses with professional commitment will enter the labour market, and on the contrary, a negative attitude can lead to withdrawal from education and job burnout. The aim of the present study was to investigate factors affecting the formation of negative attitudes in undergraduate nursing students towards their profession. Methodology: This study was conducted with a qualitative research method and with a content analysis approach in 1400 in nursing and midwifery schools in Tehran. In order to collect data, 21 people were selected by purposeful sampling and semi-structured interviews were conducted with them. The interviews were recorded and transcribed on paper and analysed. Findings: Information in 4 main categories and 11 sub-categories, including defects in the structure of the organisation (including the sub-categories of discrimination, job problems, financial problems, defective organisational management, unfavourable professional communication), inefficient educational system (including the sub-category of defects in clinical education and educational supervision), individual factors (including the sub-classes of lack of interest and low self-esteem), and community beliefs (including the sub-classes of low social value and ignorant society), was included. Conclusion: Various reasons are involved in the formation of a negative attitude towards the nursing profession, and in most cases, these factors are related to the problems of the profession and the educational problems of the profession, which can be solved by adjusting some factors and paying more attention to the profession from upstream organisations. It has raised the nursing profession and improved the conditions of nurses, and in the future, the attitude towards the nursing profession will be improved and can lead to the improvement of the health of the society.

This paper presents the findings from a research project to analyse 30 years of the Research in Learning Technology journal (1993 to 2022). The analysis explores the content of the articles in terms of key topics and their relationship with sector events and policies, discussing key terms such as virtual learning environment, massive open online courses (MOOCs) and virtual reality (VR). It also considers how the terminology used to describe the field has changed over time, starting with a focus on the computer and expanding to include a range of common terms such as e-learning, technology enhanced learning (TEL) and digital. Between 1993 and 2015, issues of the journal were accompanied by editorials. This analysis considers how the role of the editorials helped to shape and establish the journal and influence the field of learning technology to take a more research and theory-based approach. Finally, an analysis of the locations of the authors who have published in the journal has demonstrated a shift from a predominantly UK-based journal to one with more international reach.

It identifies predominant themes such as economic cooperation, security concerns, and historical–cultural dynamics. The findings highlight China’s strategic interests and leadership aspirations in Southeast Asia, providing insights into how Chinese scholars perceive and articulate China’s strategic interests and diplomatic efforts in the region involving Indonesia and Timor-Leste.

Several research papers available in notable publications have been dedicated to different stages of helical gearbox. However, most of the previous investigation was focused on single stage and double stage helical gearboxes, while only a few studies covered triple stage helical gearboxes even though it has numerous advantages. Recently, the significance of three stage helical gearboxes has received a lot of attention among various research professionals associated in this area. In this study, comprehensive assessment was conducted on the current three stage helical gearbox literatures for examining most currently used distinct research designs, methods, tools & techniques, enablers & barriers and also identifying diverse research inclinations, major findings, shortcomings and suggesting the potential directions in futuristic research. This exploration perilously investigated 275 research papers on various stages of helical gearbox and conducted a structured literature review of 28 articles on three stage helical gearboxes published in various journals over the last two decades using content analysis methodology with inductive research approach. The major findings shows that there are immense potential for dominating the research field and several opportunities still exists for three stage helical gearboxes development, which in turn open up new avenues for experts and industries.

Historiography reveals many visible and latent facts and opinions about how the history of communities and regions and the evolution of their social, environmental, economic, and political systems (SEEPS) are constructed according to the historian's perspective. This paper aims to provide a content analysis on how the historical construction of the discourse of the SEEPS effectively addressed the issues - especially in the textual and historical construction found in a historical text titled The Cultural Roots of the Pesalai Society, authored by S.A. Miranda. The book narrates the arrival and operation of the Western Colonizers resulting in the consequent socio-political transformation in the local community, changes in religious, cultural, and national identities and the ultimate evolution of new changes in the SEEPS. This content analysis focuses on establishing the relationships between the social, political, and environmental systems in the historical discourse of the book and assessing the historiographical representation of the SEEPS and the controlling factors in constructing the history of the Pesalai village and the Mannar District. The text combines integrated SEEPS providing governance-centric, anthropocentric, and ecocentric perspectives, while a theocentric discourse dominates the text. The book presents the information chronologically and thematically. This paper assesses the author's historical construction to study the impacts of the human-nature interface and natural and human-made changes related to the village system comparable to the whole district. It reveals the challenges and the creation of hybrid and multiple-use social and environmental systems, the interaction of the societal relationships with nature, and the village systems aligned to the political and social systems. The discourse reveals an attempt at reconciling a perennial conflict or competition of sustainable SEEPS against each other.

The motivation for this study was the realization that the mantra: “nothing about us without us” is indeed a strong foundation for a better understanding of the learning experiences of learners with a hearing impairment. Therefore, analysing the lived experiences of a learner as an insider is a point of departure for the current research paper. The emphasis was to conduct a qualitative research study anchored on an interpretivist paradigm. The study adopted Sen’s Capabilities Approach in framing the lenses through which to view the phenomena under evaluation. The study analysed a journal paper about the reflections of a Deaf researcher who attended a mainstream school. The findings of the study suggested that the narratives of learners with hearing impairment seem to give a better perspective of their learning experiences. As such, hearing their stories can be used as the basis for the evaluation of teaching strategies on the one hand; and education policies that address their unique and diverse learning needs on the other.

The aim of this research is the examination of scientific production on badminton. The data were obtained from studies published in the British Medical Journal, Eric, ULAKBIM National Databases, WOS, Google Scholar, ProQuest, and YÖK National Theses Center databases between 1939 and 2020. A total of 856 publications, including 624 articles, 134 proceedings papers, 71 M.Sc. theses, and 27 Ph.D. dissertations, were included in the research. The data obtained from these studies was analyzed using content analysis. Most publications were produced between 2016 and 2020. 751 publications in English and 105 in Turkish. It was observed that the distribution of the number of productions and the number of authors were close to each other. 134 proceedings papers (90 full-texts, 44 abstracts) were identified. Of the studies, 670 were quantitative, 105 were qualitative, 54 were mixed design, and 27 were reviews. Experimental design was used the most, and historical design was used the least. Stratified and simple random sampling methods were mainly used. Most studies were conducted with athletes, and the least with instructors (coaches and teachers). Most studies were conducted on exercise and sports physiology and the least on physical education, games, and recreation. The studies focused on physiological, anthropometric, and motoric measurements as the main themes. As a result; it has been determined that scientific productions on badminton are mostly studies on exercise and sports physiology in which physiological, anthropometric and motoric measurements are taken by conducting experimental studies on athletes selected by simple random sampling.

Evaluation of market connectedness and asymmetric volatility spillover has recently seen a surge in financial risk analytics and portfolio diversification. We carried out a meta-literature review on connectedness and spillovers, providing solid insight into the research field and robust guidelines for future investigation. The review consists of a quantitative bibliometric analysis of 594 papers and a qualitative content analysis of 77 papers covering 1991 to 2021. The results of the meta-citation analysis show that Diebold’s Spillover index (2007) is the predominant method in most works as far as market connectedness and spillover are concerned. With an extensive review, we achieved the following objectives: (1) Analyze the most influential authors, journals, and publications. (2) Understand the research streams and most studied streams. (3) Understand the theme’s structure, thematic evolution, and keyword trends. (4) Examine the pattern of collaboration and most productive affiliations. (5) Explore future research directions and untapped areas. The content analysis revealed the following important research streams in the current literature: (1) Asymmetries in market connectedness. (2) Influence of macro factors in market connectedness and spillover. (3) The role of oil in market spillovers and hedging portfolios. (4) Dynamic cross-market connectedness and spillovers. Our study is the first to employ a meta-review to assess the domain of market connectedness; thus, our work will significantly contribute to macroeconomic policymakers, researchers and hedging investors.

Freshwater aquaculture plays an important role in the global aquaculture industry. The success of freshwater aquaculture relies on the integration of bio-ecological remediation technologies to ensure its sustainable development. This paper systematically reviews the global literatures on bio-ecological remediation of freshwater aquaculture environments from 1990 to 2021, and discusses in detail the research progress and status quo in this field using both bibliometric analysis and content analysis. Our results indicate that the number of publications per year has increased year by year, with a particularly rapid increase after 2015. Institutions and researchers from China and the USA publish the greatest number of papers and contribute the most to this field. By analyzing the research progress in this field, we also find that the protection and restoration of freshwater aquaculture environments has received attention since as early as 1990, such as the application of constructed wetlands and recirculating aquaculture systems. Recently, researchers have increasingly focused on the use of microbial communities in remediation. Furthermore, vanRijn, J's papers are of great value to the research in this field. In content analysis, the application of primary technologies, including plant selection, aquatic animals, microorganisms, and biological filtration and purification equipment, as well as ecological engineering technologies with combinations of various types of organisms, is described to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of remediation. The performance, advantages, disadvantages, or limitations and prospects of these technology applications are analyzed in detail. By comparison, ecological engineering is shown to be the best remediation technology, being most comprehensive, and well-established. Taken together, this paper composes and summarizes existing work in this field, and provides guidance for future research on the improvement of existing technologies and the development of new technologies, with the aim of enhancing remediation capability, improving ecological sustainability and ensuring economic viability.

The hotel industry is very vulnerable to unexpected external changes, which have an impact on employees as the major success factors of hotel functioning and success. The aim of this paper is to establish, by conducting a bibliometric and content analysis, the characteristics of existing research in the sphere of hotel employee burnout syndrome and to single out the main factors that influence it. The bibliometric analysis conducted in the beginning of September 2023 found that only 37 papers dealing with burnout among hotel employees were published in only eight journals from the sphere of tourism and hospitality indexed in the Web of Science database (Clarivate Analytics Journal Citation Report). The majority of authors who write about this subject are from the USA and China. Content analysis revealed that burnout syndrome among hotel employees is largely dependent on the personal characteristics of employees, as well as on organizational factors.

Russia invaded Ukraine in March 2022, reinitiating a military conflict. Since Europe relied on Russian energy imports, entities in the energy sector may be affected. Based on content analysis, this exploratory paper assesses the disclosures by listed European entities in the energy sector in 2022 regarding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, since the impacts of this event should at least be reported under International Accounting Standard (IAS) 10. The impression management (IM) strategies behind the entities’ disclosures are explored by using financial or integrated reporting as a source of information for the period ending in 2021. The findings mostly indicate a lower disclosure level among the entities that reported this event. Further, figures are often missing, and the entities’ exposure to this non-adjustable event and its likely future impacts are usually unclear and vague within the notes on the subsequent events. Finally, messages’ tone and readability might be aligned with concealment strategies. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first research that uses this theme and IAS 10 notes as the object and source of analysis, respectively. The paper contributes to the literature by providing insights into the different patterns revealed by the entities concerning a current topic that has relevant social and economic impacts globally, as well as the characteristics of the entities’ IAS 10 disclosures.

Science teachers play a crucial role in the science education system, significantly influencing the development of students. However, existing research highlights issues such as a wide age span and uneven quality among science teachers, which undermines the effectiveness of science education. In addition, the role of science teachers can be ambiguously defined, leading to confusion about their responsibilities. To better understand the current situation and future development trend of research on the role of science teachers in China and overseas, this study compares and analyses a total of 30 documents on the role of science teachers in Chinese or English. The documents were from Web of science or CNKI databases. Content analysis was applied on time of publication, number of papers, research topic, and similarities and differences of the role development of science teachers in China or overseas. Results show that: (1) At present, the development trend of research on the role of science teachers published in English and Chinese is relatively flat and has not received due attention. Most mainstream research paradigms are still in the stage of theoretical exploration; (2) Research themes of the role of science teachers mainly included five aspects: Role expectation, role orientation, role identification, role transformation, and role; (3) the “should be” research published in Chinese and the “real” research published in English should be combined and form a positive interaction. This study is helpful to systematically analyze the current situation of research on the role of science teachers, with a view to providing a basis for subsequent research on the role of science teachers.

Mining communities often rely on tourism as a vehicle for post-mining territorial development. Sometimes, these expectations of the locals are justified by the natural setting and/or the well-preserved industrial heritage; however, these potential tourist destinations are disadvantaged primarily by their image, often associated with decay in the perception of travellers. In this paper, we treat travellers as stakeholders, able to decisively influence the image of a destination by uploading content (photos, reviews and ratings) on Google Maps and TripAdvisor, and we emphasise that user-generated content should be considered when shaping the tourism development strategies. Taking as case studies three former mining regions trying to capitalise on their tourist potential—Jiu Valley and Ștei, in Romania and La Louvière, in Belgium—this article proposes a method for assessing the image of the destination, also aiming to identify those aspects that require improvement.

The cultural and linguistic diversity that characterises our current society has led to different ways of considering languages and their status in their respective communities of use. Nowadays, not only the dominant language prevails, but other languages that characterise any social group are also increasingly taken into account, and there are studies on how they can influence the learning of the set of languages that a person uses in his or her context, and even in the teaching and learning process in general. Among these languages that represent the identity of that individual, we can find those of heritage. This paper represents the first bibliometric study on heritage and minority languages, and their connection with learning. The study period spans from the first paper published in 1989 until today, using SciMAT, software developed for longitudinal scientific mapping analysis, so this research contributes to reduce the existing gap in the scientific literature, and offers a starting point for the study of this topic. As much as 1341 research publications from the Web of Science dealing with this issue were processed and analysed. Following a bibliometric analysis, as well as the thematic and conceptual evolution of these publications, the results show a growing scientific interest in the topic from 2018, with the USA being the country with the highest production. Research was mainly carried out at universities, and the predominant research areas are Linguistics, Education and Psychology. Finally, the main topics of interest for the scientific community are bilingualism and multilingualism, followed by maintenance of heritage languages and their speakers.

Purpose – this study aims to thoroughly investigate by reviewing previous literature on risk assessment queries for robo-advisors, comparing it with three existing robo-advisors and proposing suitable risk assessment questions for robo-advisor. Research methodology – utilize the deductive content analysis technique to examine the risk assessment issue for financial robo-advisors, which is influenced by previous study. Findings – there are nine questions share a similar context both in previous literature and among existing robo-advisors, with income being the most commonly used question. Then, there are three questions that are only asked by the existing robo-advisors: emergency funds, home ownership, and the source of transaction. These findings suggest some additional questions to enhance the effectiveness of risk assessment in robo-advisory services for individuals. Research limitations – only two previous research papers have focused on risk profiling, and three available applications used in this research. Practical implications – the robo-advisor’s developer should take into account various factors such as local culture and economic conditions, financial product knowledge, etc. when crafting diverse risk profiles to provide more precise investment recommendations. Originality/Value – the study is the first research which explore the risk profiling for financial robo-advisor, which used by existing robo-advisor then compared to other countries in the world.

As communication and trust are both linked with safety, this paper aims to investigate their contribution to aviation maintenance incidents and accidents. For this purpose, the content analysis method is used to investigate whether trust and communication factors were present in aviation maintenance occurrences. Content analysis is used as a qualitative and quantitative tool. For the data analysis, apart from direct investigation for keywords throughout the material for analysis (aviation accident/incident reports with maintenance involvement), a survey tool was also employed. The items of this survey tool (Communication and Trust Question Set) were used to filter the reports’ text to indirectly identify the two factors under examination (communication and trust). As a qualitative tool, the content analysis yielded results via mapping and narrative techniques. As a quantitative tool, results were obtained and reported with the help of descriptive statistics (counts, frequencies). The results indicated that elements of trust and communication are indirectly detectable in aviation maintenance occurrences. Both ineffective communication and lack of trust were identified as a key accident/incident causal condition. Interpersonal trust is recommended to be included in the implementation requirements of any communication system. The limitations associated with the difference in the structure and consistency of the examined material are also discussed.

The paper focuses on the content analysis of the print advertisements in Serbia aiming to compare the print media advertising in the two time periods, i.e. in the years of 1922 and 2022. The comparison is based on the selected issues of the most prominent Serbian daily paper "Politika" with the continuation of publishing for more than one century. The commercial ads placed in "Politika" in December 1922 as well as December 2022 have been randomly selected and analyzed. Besides expected reduction in the number of placed ads as a result of the current changes on the advertising market brought by the proliferation of new media channels, the most interesting differences in print advertising in the second decade of the 20th and 21st centuries have been found in regard to the types of advertisers, advertising creatives as well as the use of Cyrilic and Latin letters. In conclusion, the authors argue that print advertising, though with a substantially reduced share within the overall media advertising budgets, has remained an important media communications tool particularly for its role in the development of broader stakeholder relations.

[Purpose/Significance] The spirit of Yuhuatai martyrs is one of the important components of the new democratic revolutionary spirit of the Communist Party of China (CPC). The primary documents about Yuhuatai martyrs is the significant source to record their spirit. Using text processing technologies, such as content annotation and feature construction to deeply excavate the content of the documents, which is not only conducive to carrying forward revolutionary culture and continuing the red spirit, but also beneficial to expanding the application objects of technology and promoting the improvement of text mining technology. [Method/Process] In this paper, the original documents related to Yuhuatai martyrs were used as the data source, which include 12,329 original records in 8 types of documents, including biographies of martyrs, letters, diaries, interrogation materials of the enemy and puppet governments, trial records, and oral history. Then the lightweight ontology of Yuhuatai martyrs was built, which was used as the feature description framework of Yuhuatai martyrs. Based on the domain ontology and trigger word features, relevant instances in the ontology were extracted from the documents of Yuhuatai martyrs, and the formal features of the multi-dimensional attributes of Yuhuatai martyrs were constructed and described. The categories and attributes of lightweight ontology described the Yuhuatai martyrs' group feature framework. Through the data analysis of the extracted ontology instance, the data analysis of Yuhuatai martyr group feature can be realized. [Results/Conclusions] Through the statistical analysis of the basic information, revolutionary activities and the relevant text content of the struggle in prison of Yuhuatai martyrs, this paper further revealed the group characteristics from the perspective of data, including: high education level, sacrifice at a young age, long-term struggle in the ruling center of the Kuomintang, adherence to faith, loyalty to CPC, full of family and country feelings of peace and order, and conscious practice of noble moral pursuit. By the application of lightweight ontology and other quantitative analysis methods in this paper, it is helpful to visualize the lofty ideals and beliefs of Yuhuatai martyrs, noble moral sentiments and the dauntless spirit of sacrifice for the people. This paper has a certain reference value for the presentation and dissemination of innovative Yuhuatai martyrs' spirit.

The ability to use this innovation is often based on age, with younger generations significantly more comfortable than are older generations. This “digital divide” poses a challenge to societies such as Taiwan’s, where the National Development Council estimated that 14% of the population was above the age of 65 years in 2018 and estimated that this number would reach 20% by 2025, making Taiwan a superaged society. In such superaged societies, scholars suggest, digital technologies can be used to promote social welfare and the mental and physical health of older individuals. Digital gaming, which has the potential to bridge the gap between users of different generations, is a helpful tool for promoting the well-being of young and old alike. The perception of digital games among users of different generations may influence their motivation for playing games and their overall attitude to digital gaming. To collect diverse data from various age groups, this study employed the Word Association Test (WAT) to determine participants’ underlying cognition and emotions. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate differences in cognitive perceptions and approach-avoidance conflict of digital games among users of different generations. The stimulus word “digital games” was used in the WAT to investigate the cognitive perceptions of different age groups regarding digital games. The study began by considering the applications of digital gaming and then reflected on the differences in the perception of digital games between young-adult, middle-aged, and older groups. Subsequently, the intergroup similarities and differences in perceptions of digital gaming were evaluated.. Method Convenience sampling was employed to recruit participants from different generations and living in Taipei, Taiwan. The young-adult participants included college students, graduate students, nearby residents, and high school students from a certain campus. The older-adult participants were recruited from neighborhoods, community centers, and locations near the aforementioned college. After invalid samples (those without age information) were excluded, 178 valid samples remained. To capture inter-age-group differences in cognitive perceptions of digital games, the participants were divided into three groups: the young-adults group, middle-aged and older-adults group, and advanced age group. The age classifications for the two older groups followed the age categories of the Ministry of Labor in Taiwan: 45 years and above and 65 years and above, respectively. The young-adults group comprised 73 participants [22% male, age of 15-27 years, mean (SD) = 20.18 (2.24)], the middle-aged and older-adults group comprised 50 participants [20% male, age of 46-64 years, mean (SD) = 59.40 (4.45)], and the advanced age group comprised 55 participants [35% male, age of 65-92 years, mean (SD) = 70.69 (4.94)]. The primary research method employed in this study was content analysis of associations with digital game vocabulary. The objective was to systematically categorize and describe data in accordance with predetermined coding categories to obtain structured and quantifiable information about content. Through the literature review conducted for this study, three coding themes were identified in cognitive perceptions of digital games: (1) neutral, (2) positive, and (3) negative game perceptions. The study’s WAT was conducted in paper-and-pencil format, and the aim was not to measure how many words the participants could provide within a set time frame. Instead, the participants were encouraged to answer with as many words as possible. The WAT was concluded when the participants indicated they could not think of any more words or when they had provided 12 words. Finally, the participants’ responses were transcribed verbatim, and the number of words provided by each participant and the summarized themes were calculated. Results The distribution of vocabulary in the three participant groups for neutral, positive, and negative game perceptions revealed that the young-adults group and the middle-aged and older-adults group gave the highest number of responses that were coded as positive game perceptions, whereas the advanced age group gave the most responses coded as neutral game perceptions. This indicated that the younger individuals may have had more positive perceptions of digital games than the older individuals did. In the coding theme of neutral game perceptions, the types of words most commonly provided by the young-adults group were those relating to game types; the three most commonly used words were competitive, simulation, and interaction. The types of words most commonly provided by the middle-aged and older-adults group were those relating to game titles, with the three most widely used words being “Mahjong,” “Candy Crush,” and “Su doku”. The types of words most commonly provided by the advanced age group were also those relating to game titles; the three most often recurring words were “Happy Farm,” “Candy Crush,” and playing cards. Interestingly, “Candy Crush” was a common word for both the middle-aged and older-adults group and the advanced age group, suggesting that this digital game is commonly played by middle-aged and older individuals in Taiwan but not by young adults. No other words were shared by the three groups in this coding theme. In the coding theme of positive game perceptions, the types of words most commonly provided by the young-adults group were those relating to entertainment, with the three most commonly used words being stress relief, fun, and happiness. The middle-aged and older-adults group gave similar responses to the young-adults group; their two most frequently used terms were fun and stress relief. The types of words most commonly provided by advanced age group were coded as utility, with the most often used terms being brain exercise, passing time, preventing dementia, and learning. Three terms were common to the three groups: passing time, brain exercise, and fun, indicating that the different age groups had similar positive perceptions of playing digital games. In the coding theme of negative game perceptions, the types of words most commonly provided by the young-adults group were those relating to psychological harm, with the most common term being addiction. The types of words most commonly provided by the middle-aged and older-adults group and the advanced age group were related to physical harm, with the often used term being eye discomfort. Notably, addiction was common to all three groups, suggesting that individuals from all generations perceive digital games as addictive. However, the middle-aged and older-adults group appeared to worry more that digital games were harmful to their eyes than that they were addictive. Conclusion This study examined and coded responses regarding perceptions of digital gaming of individuals in three distinct age groups and discovered specific differences between the groups’ responses.

Introduction. Professional competencies developed by the education system do not provide the high degree of integration with the real economy at the Russian labor market. The sociocognitive approach to social institutions as information processing systems suggests that this may be partly due to different languages used by employers and educational structures for describing competencies. The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis of this mismatch drawing on the example of the applied sociology sector. Materials and Methods. The case study method was applied to the material of the archive of correspondence on personnel issues of a company from the field of applied sociology, which worked in 2012–2019 (46 papers). The hypothesis that employers and educational system use a different language for describing competencies was tested. Content analysis method was applied to the largest Russian job portals: hh.ru, superjob.ru and Avito.Rabota. The hypothesis of non-use of educational standards for describing competencies in the labor market was tested. Results. Both hypotheses were confirmed. Based on the results of the correspondence archive analysis, it was proved that employers use a language different from that of the education system when describing requirements to employees (including their competencies). The results of content analysis revealed the phenomenon of almost complete isolation of the labor market from the formal standards of higher education (educational standards for describing the competencies of sociologists were not used in a single vacancy or a resumé out of more than 32 thousand found on the portals). Discussion and Conclusion. To overcome the lack of demand for graduates in the labor market, it is necessary to overcome the existing language gap between the education system and employers. To this end, the system of validation of competencies should be changed. The source of their description should not be the education system itself, the texts and ideas that are born in it, but the requirements of employers, verbalized by them in the description of vacancies. Descriptions of competencies that do not meet the widely accepted requirements of employers should be automatically excluded from professional education standards as invalid. The results contribute to searching critical problems in the educational system and adapting it to the current needs of the labor market.

Abstract There has been an increasing number of papers which explore the representation of mental health on social media using various social media platforms and methodologies. It is timely to review methodologies employed in this growing body of research in order to understand their strengths and weaknesses. This systematic literature review provides a comprehensive overview and evaluation of the methods used to investigate the representation of mental ill-health on social media, shedding light on the current state of this field. Seven databases were searched with keywords related to social media, mental health, and aspects of representation (e.g., trivialisation or stigma). Of the 36 studies which met inclusion criteria, the most frequently selected social media platforms for data collection were Twitter (n = 22, 61.1%), Sina Weibo (n = 5, 13.9%) and YouTube (n = 4, 11.1%). The vast majority of studies analysed social media data using manual content analysis (n = 24, 66.7%), with limited studies employing more contemporary data analysis techniques, such as machine learning (n = 5, 13.9%). Few studies analysed visual data (n = 7, 19.4%). To enable a more complete understanding of mental ill-health representation on social media, further research is needed focussing on popular and influential image and video-based platforms, moving beyond text-based data like Twitter. Future research in this field should also employ a combination of both manual and computer-assisted approaches for analysis.

Digital technologies have permeated most aspects of modern life. In particular, the intersection of digitalization and physical activity has seen significant developments. Such digital technologies have become constitutive of adolescents’ life, being a main source of information and a strong influence for their knowledge and behavior in physical activities. These developments have raised significant questions among educational stakeholders worldwide, providing the basis for digital education at all school levels. One of the core goals for the future is preparing the next generation to be able to use digital technologies within physical activities competently, while at the same time taking a constructive and critical perspective on the potentials and risks. The subject of physical education (PE) plays a major role in this intersection. Since it is the central role of a curriculum to act as a systematic framework for the course of learning, it is of particular interest to what extent issues of digitalization appear in PE curricula. Against this backdrop, this paper examines how digitalization is interpreted for official curriculum texts in and across current PE curricula in three German-speaking countries. A qualitative comparative document analysis has been applied. The findings demonstrate differences in what is valued in terms of digitalization and PE. Digital media appear with a predominantly functional character where media are primarily used as tools, for example, for movement analyzes aiming at improving sports skills. In addition, the critical reflection regarding the medial effects of, for example, fitness trends or body ideals embedded in media is only rarely addressed. The paper concludes that future curriculum reforms should address digitalization and PE in a more comprehensive way to empower students critically navigating through sport and movement in the digital realm.

Spatial reasoning is critical to early mathematics learning, but it is unclear how early elementary educators learn to teach and are supported in teaching its comprising skills. One view of the available supports can be found by examining the alignment of spatial reasoning skills and mathematics education standards, as standards provide the content of the intended curriculum children are expected to learn at each grade level. This study used content analysis methods to investigate how spatial reasoning might be taught through broadly adopted early elementary education standards in the United States, the Kindergarten through Grade 2 Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. The paper describes the frequency and degree of explicitness with which 38 spatial reasoning skills are therein represented. Findings indicate that most standards implicitly relate to some form of spatial reasoning through a pedagogical reach of teaching expertise, but few standards contain explicit spatial linkages. The implications and limitations of this analysis are discussed in relation to teaching spatial reasoning in early elementary grades and students’ opportunities to learn these critical skills.

This paper aims to unearth the different perception styles of Chinese and North American travellers from analytic versus holistic thinking perspectives. Python was utilized to gather online textual data from Chinese and North American travellers, while word frequency analysis, latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) topic modelling analysis and content analysis were employed to elucidate the perception styles in a cross-cultural context. In general, North American travellers mainly leaned towards analytic thinking, whereas Chinese travellers showcased a blend of holistic and analytic thought processes. The topic of travel, leisure and accommodation showed both holistic and analytic thinking styles. The topics of nature and environment, front desk service, and travel routes and scenic spot areas mainly represented a holistic thinking style. The topics of convenience and facilities, breakfast, transportation, hotel theme and features, and decoration and amenities mainly suggested an analytic thinking style. Hotels should consider the different perception styles of Chinese and North American travellers to facilitate strategies accordingly and to maximize the experience of travellers from different cultural backgrounds.

Purpose: – This research conducted a thorough literature review to analyze current research on Employee Green Behavior (EGB) and its contexts. It identified key areas of emphasis in EGB and provided a precise roadmap for future research. Design/methodology/approach: The research on employee green behavior will be visually represented using bibliometric analysis. Additionally, we provided a comprehensive overview of the correlation between relevant theories and determinants of employee green behavior. We also offered specific suggestions for future research to deepen consumer researchers' understanding of this concept. Findings: A bibliometric analysis was conducted on 275 journal articles regarding employee green behavior sourced from the Web of Science database spanning 2012 to 2023. The study revealed an increasing focus on employee green behavior research across diverse fields such as management, economics, psychology, sociology, and law. China, the United States, and Italy emerged as the top three countries both in publication volume and literature centrality. The academic literature primarily centers on investigating antecedent variables of green employee behavior, broadly categorized into corporate social responsibility, organizational support, green human resource management, transformational and ethical leadership, organizational commitment, job satisfaction, responsible leadership, intentions, values, organizational identification, and organizational climate. To comprehensively analyze prior studies, content analysis was performed, outlining and scrutinizing four empirical areas including antecedents, mediators, moderators, and outcomes of employee green behavior. While research on antecedents and influencing mechanisms of green loyalty was prevalent among the influencing variables, boundary conditions such as moderators received relatively less attention. Originality/value: This comprehensive literature review offers a clear understanding of the conceptual content, organization, and assessment of employee green behavior. Furthermore, it includes a bibliometric analysis of 275 papers on employee green behavior published between 2012 and 2023 in the Web of Science database. The text analysis reveals insights into the theoretical foundation, antecedent and outcome variables, and processes of employee green behavior, providing valuable guidance for future research.

Abstract Background Medicine is facing a global shortage of nurses, including those with postgraduate education. One suggested educational method for undergraduate and postgraduate education, such as specialist ambulance nurse education, is simulation-based education (SBE). The implementation of SBE is motivated, in part, by the desire to attract and retain students, but also to contribute to student learning. Consequently, the use of SBE is increasing in specialist ambulance nurse education. The aim of this study was to explore how specialist ambulance nursing students experience SBE. Methods This qualitative survey study involved the collection of study data using a purposefully designed, paper-based survey comprising five open-ended questions that required participant free-text answers. The answers were analysed using inductive content analysis and searching for descriptions of the participants’ experiences. The survey was presented to 35 specialist ambulance nursing students. Results The results are presented in two themes: SBE as learning and SBE as an educational method. Participating in SBE during the programme provides students with a realistic understanding of their future profession and its expected demands. The learning experience disregards prior work experience in ambulance services. Conclusions Based on the findings, conclusions are that SBE is an appreciated educational method among nursing students, regardless of their prior experience in the field of prehospital care. To some extent, this differs from previous research findings related to this subject. Furthermore, SBE contributes to the provision of field work insights, preparing the ambulance nurse specialist students.

Relevance. Low level of employment among graduates with disabilities, while their number in educational institutions in the system of secondary and higher education is increasing. Methods. Comparative analysis, statistical data analysis, content analysis. Aim. To analyze the assistance of educational organizations of the Irkutsk region in employment of students and graduates with disabilities. Results. The author has analyzed statistical information on the number of disabled students enrolled in secondary vocational and higher education programs for the 2017–2022 academic years, performance indicators of universities in the field of employment assistance for graduates with disabilities in Russia and Irkutsk region (the availability of a program to promote employment of graduates with disabilities, carrying out structural units of universities measures to promote employment for students with disabilities, availability of a postgraduate support program for graduates with disabilities), the number of graduates of Irkutsk universities with disabilities who were employed during the calendar year for 2020–2022. The paper describes the results of content analysis of the official websites of six Irkutsk universities. The main problems of promoting the employment of persons with disabilities in modern conditions are identified. Conclusions. Almost in all educational organizations of Irkutsk region, structural units dealing with employment issues were identified. The Internet pages of these structural units are information-rich with various career news and events, links to useful methodological materials and services; and all universities are connected to the digital platform. But information on the results of students and graduates employment promotion is published at insufficient level, as for the persons with disabilities there is lack of such information.

This systematic review examines the media framing of human rights violations, in the backdrop of radical nationalist movements in India. The study focuses on the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP’s) governance and its association with a radical nationalist (Hindutva) ideology. The study aims to shed light on the International Media’s criticism of the party’s role in perpetuating anti-minority sentiments and provoking violence against them. Using an integrative review approach, this paper meticulously analyzed 34 selected articles, from research journals and newspapers, published between 2010 and 2022. Thematic analysis was used to identify recurring patterns and key themes related to the BJP’s radical nationalist approach and its impact on minorities. Findings from the existing literature and international media’s reporting reveal the BJP’s transformation from a political organization to a stubborn force, promoting radical nationalist principles to consolidate its power base. Furthermore, analysis shows that the enactment of the discriminatory Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) triggered widespread protests whereas amending Articles 370 and 35A stripped Jammu and Kashmir of its autonomy, which resulted in human rights violations. In conclusion, the media content analysis highlights the human rights concerns due to the BJP’s radical nationalist approach and underscores an urgent need to make such policies that promote co-existence, inclusivity, and social cohesion to foster a pluralistic society.

Abstract The objectives of this study are to (i) examine the relationship between accounting conservatism and climate-related risk disclosure (CRRD) in the context of Egypt, and (ii) look into the moderating role of earnings quality (EQ) in such a relationship. To operationalize CRRD reported by Egyptian firms listed in the SP/EGX ESG index across the years from 2018 to 2022, the study uses a manual content analysis as a base for analysis and employs two (OLS) regression models to test the study’ hypotheses. EQ is measured using the cross-sectional modified Jones model, while accounting conservatism is gauged using the C-Score. Additionally, endogeneity checks in robustness tests are performed using system GMM. The findings show no impact of CRRD on the conservative accounting practices of Egyptian firms. However, there is a sizable adverse effect when EQ is used to moderate this association. This finding is consistent with the notion that firms report high levels of climate impacts and have fewer information asymmetry issues. This paper extends disclosure indexes by highlighting the frequent keywords of CRRD used in the annual narrative reports of Egyptian firms. Hence, this study is among the first to explore the moderation impact of EQ on the relationship between CRRD and accounting conservatism in the Egyptian setting.

At present, according to Presidential Address to the Federal Assembly our country has set the task of reforming higher education based on the synthesis of the best practices of the Soviet educational system and the experience of recent decades. This increases the responsibility of technical university teachers, whose competencies have been determined in recent years on the basis of different scientific approaches. In this regard, the problem of identifying the teachers’ qualities that are significant for students is becoming especially relevant.In order to solve the problem, the research of students’ essays obtained as a result of the International Essay Contest in English “My University Engineering Teacher I will Never Forget” was undertaken. The contest was organized by Moscow Automobile and Road Construction State Technical University (MADI) in 2021-22. The hypothesis of the research suggested that the personality traits of the technical university teacher are valued by students not lower than their professional competencies.In order to achieve the goal and verify the hypothesis, four tasks were set and solved during the research: the students’ opinions on the role of the teacher were revealed; the professional competencies of the teacher that are significant for students were determined; the personality traits of the teacher that are significant for students were determined; the significance of the teacher’s professional competencies and personality traits for students was compared. The research methodology provided for qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the students’ essays including their content analysis.The paper describes the main results of the research, which confirmed the hypothesis, as well as their interpretation. The interpretation of the research results allowed us to draw general conclusions concerning reforming the modern system of engineering education. The main conclusion concerns the necessity of returning engineering education to the traditional for the Soviet higher school integration of education and upbringing and the significance of developing in the educational process not only the competencies relevant for employers, but also the personality of future specialists.
