The Way

In the period from 1960 to 1976 the participation rate in university education increased dramatically and has since fallen. During this same period the size of the university age group doubled, so there was a period of great expansion in university enrolment. Popula- tion projections show a decline of the order of 20% in the size of the university age group between 1982 and 1996, and many believe that university enrolments must inevitably drop too, although the participation rate will be a major determinant of what happens. The factors which influence participation rates using the period 1960 to 1978, and the way in which participation rates are measured are examined. This is then applied to a discussion of the level of undergraduate enrolment in the period to 1996.

This study aims at providing the influence of the endowment on solar energy. And its reflection on the scientific university life. Also it aims at supporting the university education in Palestine by supporting new ideas to support the scientific research's by clarifying the legal texts, according to university situations to reduce deficit value in Palestinian universities. The electrical energy is considered the main columns of the environmental and civilization progress. As it's mainly connected to the instruments and equipment that make life easier. These instruments burn fuel that leads to harmful and dangerous effects on environment. During scientific research'. scientists found out that they can convert solar energy into Photovoltaic energy that doesn't need to burn fuel to be generated. This saves money as well as building new cultures to help in modernising the world. The abstract reach's to great likeness of the use of the endowment to serve the generated solar system. It's mainly a good application for the Islamic legal services on a solid ground. And it's related to environment protection and to saving money. So the legal endowment is able to solve problems of the continuous increasing cost of traditional power components.

Abstract Background Given the high impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), IBD patients may benefit from continued monitoring by specialized caregivers. Patient-reported outcomes (PRO) can be collected through telemedicine in a reliable way, allowing to monitor patients even in between hospital visits and supporting patient-physician interaction. The aim of this study was to implement an electronic questionnaire into routine clinical practice and to explore its added value. Methods Since May 2020, all IBD patients visiting the infusion unit of our tertiary referral centre (+/- 130 patients/week) receive an electronic questionnaire one week prior to their visit. Questions about disease activity are included through the two-component PRO (PRO2), and about HRQoL in form of the IBD Disk, which visually shows the impact of disease on ten different health domains over time (lower scores seen in quiescent disease). Based on PRO2 scores, clinical remission was defined as a liquid stool frequency ≤1 and an abdominal pain score ≤1 in patients with Crohn’s disease (CD), and as a stool frequency score ≤1 and no rectal bleeding in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). We evaluated PROs and participation rate, and the System Usability Scale (SUS) was used to evaluate usability of the new system. Results In Jan-Feb 2021, a total of 447 unique IBD patients completed the full questionnaire at least once [48.0% participation rate, 62.9% CD, 53.0% male, median age (IQR) 46.5 (33.8–56.8) years, 94,9% on biologic therapy, 61.5% in clinical remission, Figure 1]. No association was found between sex, age (group) or IBD type and adherence to the questionnaire. Median (IQR) IBD Disk scores were significantly lower for remitters versus non-remitters [11 (3–25) vs. 40 (21–59), p<0.001]. The most affected health dimension in all patients regardless of remission state was energy with differences for remitters [median (IQR) 2 (0–5)] and non-remitters [median (IQR) 6 (3–8)]. Whereas all ten health dimensions of the IBD Disk were highly correlated with disease activity (p<0.001, Figure 2), no correlation was found with disease type, sex, age (group) or type of biologic therapy. In Feb 2021, 375 patients of the same cohort were randomly invited to complete the SUS. A median (IQR) SUS score of 85 (71.25–91.25) was found, indicating excellent usability of the new system (n=113). Conclusion The results show high correlation between disease activity and the impact on HRQoL, especially energy levels. Based on these PROs a more individualized approach at the infusion unit could be installed. This system is currently also implemented for IBD patients who do not visit the infusion unit but receive oral or subcutaneous therapy or no maintenance therapy.

Nevertheless, the subject remains very current, because one of the most remarkable characteristics of the neoliberal ideology is its capacity of adaptation in face of historical impositions. Thus, this article aims to present some theoretical debates about Neoliberalism and to analyze the main stratagems of disruption used by the neoliberal dogma in the organization of public institutions of higher education. It acknowledges the fact that this intervention is a work in progress, far from being complete, and which tends to be enhanced in the current context, regarding what the neoliberalizing manuals envision. Finally, we intend to indicate some strategies of ordinary confrontation with the neoliberal managerialism in the academic environment, stemming from collective actions ruled by critical and emancipatory pedagogical practice.Keywords: Neoliberalism.

At one of Ontario’s largest universities, the University of Ottawa, course evaluations involve about 6,000 course sections and over 43,000 students every year. This paper-based format requires over 1,000,000 sheets of paper, 20,000 envelopes, and the support of dozens of administrative staff members. To examine the impact of a shift to an online system for the evaluation of courses, the following study sought to compare participation rates and evaluation scores of an online and paper-based course evaluation system. Results from a pilot group of 10,417 students registered in 318 courses suggest an average decrease in participation rate of 12–15% when using an online system. No significant differences in evaluation scores were observed. Instructors and students alike shared positive reviews about the online system; however, they suggested that an in-class period be maintained for the electronic completion of course evaluations.

The Way

Institutions of higher education are just like other organizations forced to adapt to the rapidly changing environment that brings many new challenges. There are several obstacles in the way of introducing e-learning in these institutions. We can divide them into technology-based and culturally-based. Many benefits of e-learning such as cost-effectiveness, enhanced responsiveness to change, timely content, flexible accessibility, and providing value to the customer are not based only on use of high technology. We cannot expect that the use of advanced technology is enough to change the way we work as human beings. Technologic solutions in the form of portals have been known for several years. A recurring problem has become the efficiency and usefulness of these solutions. Integration of dispersed sources is not sufficient. Individual users should obtain information in a variety of ways, including in a personalized way. The paper will address the topic of using the Internet as a medium to achieve one of the primary goals of institutions in higher education; that is quality improvement. We will show the influence of the e-learning environment on achieving this goal. The model has also been tested in practice, at the Faculty of Economics at the University of Ljubljana. This case has also proved that cultural changes never take place over night.

Russian Education

The modern sociocultural situation actualizes the issue of the role and place of tradition as a criterion for the preservation and transmission of historical experience and the basis of the civic identity of society and the ethnic identity of an individual in vocational education in Russia. Russia’s entry into the world educational space, modernization of Russian education based on the competence-based approach, developed with due account for the general trends in the education development in European countries, involves not only updating the content and technologies of education. The subprogram “Vocational Education Development” of the State Program of the Russian Federation “Education Development” for the period of 2013-2020 has the purpose of increasing the contribution of vocational education to the socio-economic and cultural modernization of Russia, to increasing its global competitiveness, ensuring the demand for each student in the economy and society. Therefore, among the priority tasks of higher education is to improve the quality of training future teachers for the Russian education system at different levels, to form their readiness for pedagogical activity in modern conditions. The purpose of this article is to determine the significance of the historical and sociocultural tradition for vocational education at Russian universities by using the comparative analysis of historical-pedagogical, regulatory-legal and methodological sources. The author traces the possibilities of the impact of the university stage of education on the process of ethnocultural development and ethnic identification of a modern student in university vocational pedagogical education. The fundamental novelty of formulation and ways of solving the issue in this article is determined by taking into account the specifics of the digitalization stage in modern education and the features of university education technologies and techniques during the period of overcoming the consequences of the coronavirus epidemic.
