Social Work in Educational System of Balkans – is Social Worker Needed in Schools?

Abstract

This work is primarily concerned with the need for social workers in schools in the Western Balkans

whose engagement is only in development and (incontinably) represented. In some regions, the place of social

workers in schools has recently been introduced, as well as the (same-named) subject at the university, which

represents a significant shift and greatly guides for development of theory and practice of social work. On the

other hand, in a large part of these regions, conflicts, instability of socio-economic nature and transition

destabilized institutional arrangements and left significant deficits, and raised the question of the development and

sustainbility of these programes. In view of this, it could be said that the children here are increasingly becoming

victims of various social forces that negatively affect their psychosocial state, which often reflects on the failure of

educational system. Although schools are set up primarily to educate children, it is necessary to pay attention to

the psychosocial aspects of students. In view of this, the aim of this paper is to point out the need to provide a

comprehensive social work service for students, parents, and staff – addressing barrieres that limit students to

uliizing their full potencial. Namely, the incorporation of social work into school facilities could also contribute to

improving shool security policy, identifying different strategies, and early intervention in different spheres to

ensure that each student gets the same chance of progress in academic and social context. In view of this, the

paper presents an analysis of public and available documents in order to determine the situation and defferences in

school social workers in these countries. At the end of this work, there was left space for discussion about the

needs for fundamental changes in the educational system and putting a greater emphasis on social workers.

A Glimpse into the Japanese Diaspora in Mexico: Gloria Eyko Fujigaki’s Story

Jorge Hernandez-Fujigaki *

Montgomerfy College & George Washington University, USA

Abstract

Born in 1923 in the Sierra Madre Oriental, a mountain range in northeastern Mexico to

Katsuzo Fujigaki, a Japanese immigrant and a Mexican native, Gloria Eyko embodies the

dreams and fears of a girl and a woman trying to “fit in” in a country where Europeans were

deemed the “top-tier” immigrant group and Asians secondary. In some ways, her family story

represents a microcosm of a larger universe made up of the descendants of 14,667 Japanese

who moved to Mexico between 1868-1941. Gloria Eyko’s longevity has afforded her the

opportunity to bear witness to the impact of pivotal moments in the history of Mexico and the

world at large on her family: the wanderings of her father before, during, and after the

revolutionary storm that swept Mexico between 1910 and 1920 and that claimed the lives of

more than one million people; her dad’s stubborn determination to keep the ties that bound him

to a distant land, both geographically and culturally, by relentless letter writing; the impact of

the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 and the American declaration of war against

Japan on her tiny corner of the planet; the subsequent dislocation of the Japanese-Mexican

colony; Japan\'s postwar economic resurgence; and the re-articulation of Mexican

contemporary perceptions of Japanese Mexicans.

Training, Knowledge, Competence, Performance: What is the Relationship?

Kristina Sisyuk*

University of Salzburg, Austria

Abstract

In-company training is not a temporary fashion of the last decades but a product of

continuous development with the roots tracing back to ancient Egypt, where sons continued the

crafting professions of their fathers and learned directly from them the required knowledge and

competencies. As a result, the demands on employee competencies have become more

complex, and companies have become increasingly interested in developing the workforce

under their own direction. These developments raise a critical question: How does employees´

participation in in-company training really impact performance?This research aims to analyze

available theories on investment in in-company training, knowledge and competence

formation, and performance of employees in the workplace as well as to explore empirical

relations between these four variables.The findings show that the theoretical and

methodological diversity of analyzed theories and empirical studies is quite large yet still

limited. Numerous scientists have tried to explain relations between “training” and “employee

performance” and to operationalize the latter. However, the relations and interdependencies

between in-company training, knowledge, competence and performance of employees in the

workplace have rarely, if ever, been explored thus far, and the economic efficiency of in-

company training continues to be among the unknowns.The results of this first stage will be

used to develop a theoretical framework for empirical research on the relationship between in-

company training, knowledge, competence and performance of employees in the workplace.

Keywords: In-Company Training, Knowledge, Competence Perfomance

The Impact of Social Networks on the Selection of Infant Formula: Analysis of Purchasing

Decisions among Israeli Mothers

Dr. Elad Harison*

Shenkar College of Engineering and Design, Israel

Abstract

Infant feeding is a major factor in their growth and future well-being, which largely

depend on the nutrition they are provided in the early stages of their lives. While breast milk

feeding is the medically recommended mode of infant nutrition, infant formula (formula) that

is often based on animal milk is the most popular way of infant nutrition worldwide, despite

increasing awareness of breast milk benefits by the World Health Organization and by

practitioners. Among the different factors studied, safety concerns may largely influence the

choice of infant formula, in particular in Israel, where the Remedia Affair of 2003 in which a

baby formula supplied and led to the death of infants due to malnutrition still echoes in terms

of awareness and concern. Our study identifies different factors surrounding the professional,

social and social media based interactions of mothers to infants and evaluates their impact on

selection of baby formulas. The research is based on a questionnaire that was distributed to

online groups and communities of Israeli mothers via social media (Facebook and Whatsapp).

630 responses from mothers giving birth within the last five years were received. The results of

our analysis indicate that one of the most important factors in the choice of mothers using

infant formula for feeding is the trust in the brand of the formula. On the other hand, the

opinions of experts about the preferred formula were found preferable to those communicated

to mothers by online and offline social circles.

Keywords: Customer Behavior, Infant Formula, Social Networks, Nutrition, Safety

Perceptions of Human Resource Management Practices and Career Attitudes of Employees

Norihiko Takeuchi*

Waseda University, Japan

Abstract

This study aims to document the effects of high-commitment work systems (HCWS) as

experienced by employees on their so-called protean career attitude characterized as

constituting self-directed and values-laden attitudes toward their own career management.

Using the time-lagged data of 440 employees at three time points demonstrated that the change

in employees’ experienced HCWS was positively related to the subsequent change in their

organizational commitment, providing support for the proper functioning of HCWS practices.

An increase in organizational commitment, however, yielded a cross-lagged, adverse

moderating effect on the relationship between changes in experienced HCWS and in

employees’ protean career attitude. Specifically, less committed employees tended to sharply

increase both self-directed and values-laden career attitudes as they had experienced their

organization’s HCWS practices. Highly committed employees, on the other hand, showed a

slight decrease or remained neutral in their career attitude when they had experienced such

practices. Findings have spotlighted a “reactive” or “passive” nature of the protean career

attitude developed by less committed employees who may have little benefit from firms

adopting the HCWS.

Keywords: Human Resource Management Practices, Protean Career Attitudes

Abstract

In postcolonial nations that are bond together despite the differences in culture and

values, it is commonplace to find ethnic grouping. Ethnic groups are a nomenclature for

retaining economic and political power leading to the strong presence of dominance by the

ethnic majority. Organizations tend to replicate this stand as they model their workplace

culture not too distant from the society in which they operate. This study draws from the

postcolonial discourse to explore discrimination of ethnic minority employees in workplaces.

The specific objectives for this paper are (1) To examine how ethnic minority interpret ethnic

discrimination in workplaces; and (2) To explore the resistance ethnic minority put up in

dealing with discrimination. The study took place in a multi-ethnic society; Nigeria using

qualitative research design. Data collection was from 20 employees of ethnic minority status.

We administered semi-structured interviews to participants in various locations in Nigeria for a

four-month period; April -July 2017. The study adopts an inductive approach as a way of

extending the theoretical knowledge on power relations and imperialism of an ethnic group

over others considered as ethnic minorities. The questions raised were those that concerned the

everyday lived experiences of ethnic minority employees in workplaces. We employed a

critical discourse analysis to provide rich description on the context and intertextually of the

experiences of research participants. Interviews were literally transcribed and uploaded into N-

Vivo qualitative software for reorganization and theming.

Keywords: Ethnicity, Ethnic Minority Employees

A SBM Model for Efficiency Evaluation in Multi-Period Systems

Josef Jablonsky*

University of Economics, Prague, Czech Republic

Abstract

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a tool for efficiency and performance analysis of a

set of decision making units that use multiple inputs for production of multiple outputs.

Traditional DEA models deal with the analysis in a single period. This paper aims at

production systems where decision making units are described by their inputs and outputs in

several consecutive periods. Traditional models for such dynamic analysis are based on solving

one linear optimization problem but they have serious drawbacks. The paper contains

formulation of an original slack-based measure (SBM) model. SBM models are quite popular

group of models that allows evaluation of efficiency independently on the orientation of the

model. The proposed model extends traditional SBM formulation for a multi-period case. The

results of this model allow complete ranking of all units under consideration. The results of all

formulated models are compared with a small numerical example. The research is supported by

the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic – project no. 16-01821S

Keywords: Data Envelopment Analysis, Slack-Based Measure

Coming Home: Returned Academics Transforming the Learning Process In Chinese Higher

Education Institutions

Mingsheng Li*

Massey University, New Zealand

Abstract

Every year, over half a million Chinese students study overseas and many of them with

Western higher degrees return to teach in Chinese higher education institutions. There is much

research on their re-entry cultural adaptation upon their return. However, there is little research

on how they have transformed the learning process and developed effective learning culture,

and how Chinese students perceive their teaching performance as compared with that of locals.

This study aims to examine these questions. Three hundred Chinese students from five

universities in a south-western city in China participated in the survey and 15 returned

academics were interviewed. The findings from the study reveal that Chinese students rated the

teaching performance of returned academics more highly than that of locals. Returnees had the

advantages of overseas learning and working experiences. The contextual factors and their

cultural and social capital that they have acquired overseas have helped them overcome their

disadvantages in their home country, such as lack of local connections and local knowledge.

These high-performance returnees have become a highly influential force in transforming

Chinese higher education. The study suggests that to make full use of the potential of these

returned academics, it is important for the Chinese government and university leaders to

consider their needs, wants, and expectations, and help them resolve conflicts arising from

education transformation and re-entry cultural adaptation.

Soliton Solutions for System of PDEs that Describes Ion Acoustic Waves in Plasma

Prof. Gharib Mousa Gharib*

Zarqa University, Jordon

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss Ion Acoustic Waves, which are the plasma physics version of

sound waves. These waves propagate because the more mobile electrons shield out the ion

electric field, but set up their own field to drive the ions in tenuous plasma. These waves can be

excited, even though the electrons and ions have infrequent collisions. The external magnetic

field is zero for these waves. The KdV equation have been derived, and analytically examined.

The basic features of KdV solitons have been analyzed. It has been observed that the

degenerate plasma system under consideration supports the propagation of solitons obtained

from the solutions of KdV equation.

Keywords: Degenerate Ions, Electrons Fluids, Reductive Perturbation Method
