Full textAbstract:
Answering research calls for better contextualisation of entrepreneurial behaviour, we examine the cultural contexts in which individuals with entrepreneurial values (Schwartz’s self-enhancement- and openness-to-change values) are most likely to be entrepreneurs. Culture is assessed through Schwartz’s cultural dimensions of mastery and egalitarianism. The results of multilevel logistic regressions with more than 35,000 respondents nested in 28 European countries support the hypotheses that individual values are more important for explaining entrepreneurship in non-entrepreneurial cultures (low in mastery and egalitarianism). Our results indicate that mastery compensates for openness-to-change, whereas egalitarianism reduces the impact of both self-enhancement and openness-to-change values.

This project paper aimed at identifying the dimensions for teacher leadership model. The instrument used to measure the dimensions was adapted from Teacher Leadership Self-Assessment (TLSA) by Katzenmeyer and Moller (2009). This measurement tool consists of 47 items distributed into seven dimensions namely 1) self-awareness, 2) leading change, 3) communication, 4) diversity, 5) instructional proficiency and leadership, 6) continuous improvement, and 7) self-organization. This project paper involved 130 teachers of Mara Junior Science Colleges in the state of Kelantan, Malaysia. Structural Equation Modelling technique was utilized to perform the required statistical analysis of the survey data. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were carried out to substantiate the dimensions used. Based on the EFA and CFA, 4 dimensions are relevant for teacher leadership practice in Malaysian setting with 28 items identified to have high value of validity and reliability. The four dimensions are labelled as 1) self-awareness, 2) communication and change, 3) diversity and instructional proficiency, and 4) organized and continuous improvement. These dimensions could be characterized as values or roles of teacher leaders.

This study assessed generational differences in human values as measured by the Schwartz Value Survey. It was proposed that the two most recent generations, Millennials and Generation Xers, would value Sell-enhancement and Openness to Change more than the two older generations, Baby Boomers and Matures, while the two older generations would value Self-transcendence and Conservation more. The hypotheses were tested with a combined sample of Canadian knowledge workers and undergraduate business students ( N = 1,194). Two hypotheses were largely supported, although an unexpectedly large difference was observed between Millennials and Generation Xers with respect to Openness to Change and Self-enhancement. The findings suggest that generation is a useful variable in examining differences in social values.

Full textAbstract:
The capacity of physical activity (PA) measures to detect changes in PA within interventions is crucial. This is the first study to examine the responsiveness of activPAL3™ and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ; Short Form) in detecting PA change during a 12-week group-based, men-only weight management program—Football Fans in Training (FFIT). Participants wore an activPAL3™ and completed the IPAQ pre- and post-program (n = 30). Relationships between change scores were assessed by Spearman’s correlations. Mean or median changes in PA were measured using paired samples t-tests and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. Responsiveness to change was assessed utilizing Standardized Response Mean (SRM). Both device-based and self-report measures demonstrated significant changes pre-post intervention, although these changes were not significantly correlated. The SRM values for changes in activPAL3™ metrics were: 0.54 (for MET-mins/day); 0.53 (for step counts/day); and 0.44 (for MVPA/day), indicating a small to medium responsiveness to change. SRM values for changes in IPAQ scores were: 0.59 (for total PA mins/day); 0.54 (for total MET-mins/day); 0.59 (for walking MET-mins/day); 0.38 (for vigorous MET-mins/day); and 0.38 (for moderate MET-mins/day), revealing a small to medium responsiveness to change. These findings reveal that two commonly used device-based and self-report measures demonstrated responsiveness to changes in PA. While inclusion of both device-based and self-report measures is desirable within interventions it is not always feasible. The results from this study support that self-reported measures can detect PA change within behavioral interventions, although may have a tendency to overestimate changes compared with device-based measures on absolute values, but not standardized response values.

Full textAbstract:
In type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, human values have been identified as having a possible impact on self-care. Despite this, basic human values have never been described in the T2DM population and the association between basic human values and self-care has not been assessed. The aims of this study were to describe basic human values and self-care, and investigate the associations between basic human values and self-care in adults with T2DM. The study was cross-sectional multicentre with T2DM patients ( n = 390). Sociodemographic and clinical data were collected from charts, and two questionnaires were administered. The Portrait Values Questionnaire (PVQ) measured basic human values and allowed us to group patients into four groups based on the value profile: (A) Openness to Change and Self-Transcendence, (B) Conservation and Self-Transcendence, (C) Conservation and Self-Enhancement, and (D) Openness to Change and Self-Enhancement. The Self-care of Diabetes Inventory measured self-care maintenance, self-care monitoring, self-care management, and self-care confidence, according to the Middle-Range Theory of Self-Care of Chronic Illness. Multiple regression models were used to assess associations between the basic human values and self-care. Group D (Openness to Change and Self-Enhancement) performed significantly lower self-care maintenance ( p = .024) and self-care monitoring ( p = .031) when compared with Group A, and lower self-care monitoring ( p = .008) and self-care management ( p = .018) when compared with Group B. Group D showed significantly lower self-care monitoring ( p = .027) when compared with Group C. People with T2DM who value more self-enhancement and openness to change might be more prone to perform worse self-care compared with those who value conservation and self-transcendence. Clinicians should consider this when designing interventions aimed at improving self-care behaviors in patients with T2DM.

Full textAbstract:
The present article connects two approaches to the study of human motivation and behavior: The Schwartz model of human values and Higgins? regulatory focus theory. Considering a prominent model of human motivation - the Rubicon Model of Action Phases - reveals that although both approaches refer to goals and standards as crucial constructs, human values are specifically relevant concerning the so-called deliberation and evaluation phases whereas selfregulatory orientations are specifically relevant concerning the volitional phases (i.e., planning and action). It may be due to the selective focus on specific aspects of human motivation that up to date hardly any (empirical) work has tried to connect human values and selfregulatory orientations. The reported studies assessed the relation between the endorsement of values proposed in the Schwartz model of human values and individual differences in the two self-regulatory orientations (promotion and prevention) proposed in regulatory focus theory. Findings reveal that prevention-focused self-regulation is positively related to conservation values (security, conformity) and negatively related to values reflecting openness to change (stimulation, self-direction). Moreover, promotion-focused self-regulation was positively related to self-enhancement values (power, achievement) and negatively related to values reflecting self-transcendence (universalism, benevolence). In addition, the observed relations were found using different instruments to measure human values and self-regulatory orientations. In combination, the observed findings support the proposed two-dimensional structure of the value system as well as fundamental assumptions of regulatory focus theory.

Full textAbstract:
Student self-efficacy is related to the belief of individuals doing daily activities in boarding schools. This study aims to describe the positive behavior performed by Kiai and Nyai to improve student self-efficacy. Research Methods use qualitative methods with case studies. Data is obtained by interviews, observations and documentation. Data analysis uses content analysis. The results showed that Kiai and Nyai's positive behavior could improve students' self-efficacy. Examples of Kiai and Nyai's behavior include giving positive values such as honesty, patience, gratitude, self-acceptance, and self-assessment. The increase in student self-efficacy can start with oneself solving problems encountered in school. Kiai and Nyai as role models and behaviors of Islamic values can be applied by counselors to change students in a better direction to be happy. The implication is that counselors need to set an example, strengthening students' positive values so as to increase self-efficacy

Full textAbstract:
Communication in the family fulfills a number of important functions: it enables the transfer of information and acquiring knowledge, fosters building bonds and strengthening relationships, and helps build self-esteem and identity. It also serves to convey patterns of social functioning and the value system.The aim of this study is to show the relationship between the preferred values and the assessment of communication in the generational family. 200 people aged 17 to 23 were included in the study. The research used the Short Schwartz Value Scale (SSVS) and the G scale (communication) from the FACES IV by D. Olson. The analysis of the research results shows that people who assess communication in their family best, attach great importance to such values as: benevolence, tradition, conformity and security. The k-means analysis made it possible to distinguish three clusters of the respondents, of which communication in their family is best assessed by people belonging to the second cluster, for which the highest scores regarding the preference for values related to a conservation, openness to change and self-transcendence are characteristic. The surveyed women assess communication in their families better than men. They also more often choose values that are associated with self-transcendence. Men, on the other hand, prefer values related to self-enhancement, mainly power.

Abstract Objectives To characterize the effect of manual data cleaning on individual dietary intake assessment using Automated Self-Administered 24-hour recalls® (ASA24s). We aimed to determine whether there was a difference in measures of key nutrients (energy, carbohydrate, fat, protein, fiber) before and after manual correction of automated coding errors. Methods Dietary recalls up to 4 days were collected using ASA24. Data cleaning was completed by systematically reviewing and excluding recalls with technical errors identified by a quality control team. A registered dietitian reviewed open-ended text responses and corrected nutrient data for foods where automated coding did not produce an optimal match. Total energy expenditure (TEE) was calculated using measurements of physical activity, resting metabolic rate, and estimated thermic effect of food. The Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to determine differences in median nutrient measures. Mean energy intake was compared to TEE using Spearman correlation. Results After removing recalls that were incomplete or with technical errors, 1499 recalls were completed by 393 subjects. Recalls modified during the data cleaning process constitute 209 (14%) from 140 subjects with at least 1 recall modified (36%). Using all recalls, median intakes of energy, total fat, protein, and fiber were different after data cleaning compared to before (P < 0.05). When limiting to recalls modified during cleaning (n = 209), significant differences were found for energy, fat, protein, and fiber (P < 0.02). Using mean nutrient intakes of subjects with at least 2 valid recalls (n = 385), there were no significant differences before and after cleaning (P > 0.05). However, for the 140 subjects with at least one modified recall, significant differences were found for energy, fat, and protein of mean data (P < 0.02). The association between mean energy and measured TEE was slightly higher, but not significantly, for the cleaned data compared to uncleaned. Conclusions Data cleaning can significantly change nutrient values recorded in 24-hour recalls. For assessment of individual dietary intake, investigators should evaluate open-ended text responses in ASA24 and consider correcting data based on nutrients of interest. Funding Sources USDA.

Full textAbstract:
L'impatto dei programmi di studio all'estero sugli studenti online è un ambito di ricerca ancora
poco studiato. Lo studio all'estero è una strategia di internazionalizzazione ben consolidata,
con alle spalle una lunga tradizione nell'istruzione superiore classica e in presenza. Dato che
gli studenti online prendono parte sempre più spesso a programmi di istruzione superiore e di
studi all'estero, è necessario comprendere meglio questa popolazione nel contesto degli studi
all'estero.
Nel presente contributo, ci si riferisce a “studenti online” per indicare studenti che hanno
frequentato lezioni esclusivamente online prima di partecipare a un'esperienza di studio
all'estero di persona. Con “studenti in presenza” ci si riferisce invece a studenti che hanno
frequentato fisicamente il campus universitario in prima persona. Sebbene esistano numerose
ricerche sui soggiorni di studio all'estero di breve durata per gli studenti in presenza, l’impatto
dello studio all’estero sugli studenti online è stato raramente oggetto di ricerca o non lo è
affatto. Questo studio è il primo nel suo genere a indagare questa tradizionale attività di
internazionalizzazione per questo specifico pubblico di studenti.
Questa ricerca a metodo misto ha documentato le caratteristiche accademiche e demografiche
di un campione di studenti online e in presenza che hanno partecipato a un periodo di studio
all'estero di breve durata guidato da una facoltà, le loro motivazioni e aspettative per lo studio
all'estero, e come l'esperienza ha cambiato i loro valori, atteggiamenti e convinzioni.
Sono state esaminate tre serie di dati quantitativi. Utilizzando statistiche descrittive e test
ANOVA, sono state analizzate 17 variabili accademiche e demografiche per comprendere
appieno le caratteristiche degli studenti online e in presenza che partecipano a un soggiorno di
studio all'estero. Le motivazioni e le aspettative per lo studio all'estero sono state prese in
considerazione attraverso sondaggi pre e post programma basati sulla teoria del comportamento
pianificato. Il test U di Mann-Whitney è stato utilizzato per comprendere le differenze tra i dati
del sondaggio e i quattro costrutti: crescita personale, obiettivi accademici, obiettivi di carriera
e aspettative familiari. Per rispondere alla terza domanda di ricerca, le convinzioni, gli
atteggiamenti e i valori degli studenti prima e dopo il programma sono stati valutati utilizzando
il Beliefs, Events, and Values Inventory (BEVI), una valutazione psicometrica standardizzata.
I risultati sono stati analizzati utilizzando statistiche descrittive, t-test e analisi di regressione
multipla. I dati qualitativi, ricavati da interviste semistrutturate a studenti online rientrati
dall'estero, sono stati raccolti in concomitanza con i dati quantitativi. I dati qualitativi hanno
supportato quelli quantitativi grazie alla personalizzazione dell'esperienza degli studenti, dando
loro voce così che aiutassero a precisare, approfondire e spiegare i risultati quantitativi.
Questo studio suggerisce sia somiglianze sia differenze quantitative tra le caratteristiche
accademiche e demografiche degli studenti all'estero online e in presenza. I dati qualitativi
hanno documentato le identità trasversali degli studenti online e hanno identificato le barriere
reali e percepite rispetto allo studio all'estero.
Sebbene approcciandosi all’esperienza di studio all’estero gli studenti online e in presenza
abbiano riferito motivazioni e aspettative simili, i dati del sondaggio auto-riferito suggeriscono
differenze significative nella crescita personale, negli obiettivi accademici e nella costruzioni
di obiettivi di carriera dopo il periodo di studio all'estero per gli studenti online considerati
come gruppo.
Nei dati qualitativi, gli studenti online all'estero hanno attribuito una notevole importanza
all'interazione personale con studenti e docenti, al valore dell'apprendimento esperienziale e
all'applicabilità immediata nel mondo del lavoro di quanto appreso. I risultati del BEVI hanno
identificato differenze significative nelle esperienze pregresse e attuali vissute all’estero dagli
studenti online e in presenza: esperienze che hanno contribuito alla capacità degli studenti
online di affrontare ambienti interculturali mettendo in discussione le loro convinzioni e i loro
valori.
Questa ricerca rivela chiaramente che lo studio all'estero non è solo una valida strategia di
internazionalizzazione per gli studenti online, ma anche un'opportunità di apprendimento unica
e trasformativa per molti di loro. Lo studio all'estero ha il potenziale di aiutare gli studenti
online a sperimentare una crescita personale e a sviluppare una nuova visione del mondo, a
scoprire un'identità accademica, a coltivare relazioni accademiche e a collegare le conoscenze
globali agli obiettivi di carriera.
Inoltre, il presente lavoro contribuisce alla comprensione dell'apprendimento online come
metodo per estendere l'accesso all'istruzione superiore a studenti che apportano diversi valori,
esperienze e credenze alla comunità educativa, contribuendo così in modi nuovi ed
entusiasmanti all’esperienza di formazione per tutti gli studenti.Very little is known about the impact of study abroad programs on online learners. Study abroad is a well-established internationalization strategy with a long history in traditional, in person higher education. Given that online learners increasingly participate in higher education worldwide and in study abroad, it is necessary to understand this population more fully within the context of study abroad. In this study, online learners were students who took classes exclusively online prior to participating in an in-person study abroad experience. In person immersion students in this study represented on-campus learners. Although a significant body of research exists on short-term study abroad for in-person students, there is little to no research on how study abroad impacts online students. This study is the first of its kind to investigate this traditional internationalization activity for this specific student audience. This mixed-methods research documented the academic and demographic characteristics of a sample of online and in-person immersion students participating in short term, faculty-led study abroad; their study abroad motivations and expectations; and how the experience changed their beliefs, attitudes, and values. Three sets of quantitative data were examined. Using descriptive statistics and ANOVA tests, 17 academic and demographic variables were analyzed to understand fully the characteristics of online and in-person learners participating in study abroad. Study abroad motivations and expectations were considered through pre-and post-program surveys based on the theory of planned behavior. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to understand differences in the survey data between groups across four constructs: personal growth, academic goals, career goals, and family expectations. To address the third research question, students’ beliefs, attitudes, and values pre- and post-program were assessed using the Beliefs, Events, and Values Inventory (BEVI), a standardized psychometric assessment. Results were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, and multiple regression analysis. Qualitative data from semistructured interviews of returned online study abroad students were collected concurrently with quantitative data. The qualitative data supported the quantitative data by personalizing the student experience, providing student voices to help expand upon and explain the quantitative results. This study suggests both quantitative similarities and differences across academic and demographic characteristics of online and in-person study abroad students. Qualitative data documented online study abroad students’ intersectional identities and identified real and perceived barriers to study abroad. Although online and in-person students reported similar motivations and expectations for study abroad going into the experience, the self-reported survey data suggest significant differences in personal growth, academic goals, and career goals constructs after study abroad for online students as a group. In the qualitative data, online study abroad students placed substantial importance on in-person interaction with students and faculty, the value of experiential learning, and the immediate career applicability of learnings. BEVI results identified significant differences in the prior and current lived experiences of online and in-person study abroad students that contributed to online students’ abilities to cope with intercultural environments that challenged their beliefs and values. This study clearly reveals study abroad is not only a viable internationalization strategy for online students; it is a unique transformative learning opportunity for many within this population. Study abroad has the potential to help online students experience personal growth and develop a changed worldview, discover an academic identity, cultivate academic relationships, and connect global learnings to career goals. Additionally, this study contributes to the understanding of online learning as a method to expand access to higher education to learners who bring diverse experiences, beliefs, and values to the educational community, thus contributing to learning for all students in new and exciting ways

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund: Under flera år har några av Sveriges största banker kritiserats under den så kallade “penningtvätts-härvan”. Media har till stor del uppmärksammat skandalen utifrån ett företagsperspektiv men desto mindre ur ett kundperspektiv. Skandalernas relevans och aktualitet öppnar upp för att undersöka på vilket sätt bankkunder reagerar till följd av penningtvättsskandaler. Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka vilken effekt penningtvättsskandaler har på konsumenters befintliga attityder gentemot banker. Med anledning av de senaste årens uppmärksammade bankskandaler i Sverige görs undersökningen för att avgöra om attitydförändringen vidare har någon påverkan på konsumenters beteende i förhållande till bankerna. Tidsperspektivet gör denna studie relevant för att undersöka i vilken utsträckning konsumenter påverkas av denna typ av skandal vilket ger viktiga insikter för finansföretag. Metod: För att uppfylla vårt informationsbehov bestod vår empiri av kvantitativ data som samlades in genom enkäter. Vi var intresserade av att undersöka om det fanns ett samband mellan studenters attitydförändringar och beteende gentemot bankerna. Urvalet bestod av studenter som läser någon form av ekonomisk inriktning vid Högskolan i Borås. I enkäterna presenterades ett fiktivt fall där en penningtvättsskandal illustrerades samt information om hur studenterna skulle påverkas av skandalen. I det ena fallet drabbades studenterna ekonomiskt negativt av skandalen medan de inte drabbades i det andra fallet. Vi skickade således ut tvåenkäter, där hälften av urvalet fick den ena enkäten medan den andra hälften fick den andra. Resultat: Många av studenterna har relativt stabila relationer till sina banker innan skandalerna. Efter skandalerna värdesatte studenterna främst det egna intresset vilket medförde att de inte längre var lika lojala gentemot sina banker. Det skedde en tydlig attitydförändring blandstudenterna efter skandalerna oavsett ekonomisk påverkan. Slutsatser: Utifrån undersökningens modifierade modell kan vi dra slutsatserna att studenternas värderingar, egenintresse och lojalitet till banken tillsammans bidrar till en attitydförändring till följd av skandalerna. Det innebär att penningtvättsskandalen i de fiktiva fallen visade sig ha en effekt på studenternas befintliga attityder gentemot deras banker. Denna attitydförändring mynnar vidare ut i ett beteende orsakat av skandalerna.Background: For several years, some of Sweden's largest banks have been criticized during the so-called “money laundering scandal”. The media has largely drawn attention to the scandal from a business perspective, nevertheless from a customer perspective. The scandal's relevance and timeliness opens up to investigate how bank customers react due to money laundering scandals. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of money laundering scandals on consumers' existing attitudes towards banks, based on the recent banking scandals in Sweden in recent years. This is to determine if the change in attitude further has any effect on consumerbehavior in relation to the banks. The time perspective makes this study relevant to examining the extent to which consumers are affected by this type of scandal, which provides important insights for financial companies. Methodology: To fulfill the purpose of the study, our empirical data consisted of quantitative data collected through surveys. We were interested in investigating whether there was a connection between students' attitude changes and behavior towards the banks. The sample consisted of students who study some form of financial orientation at the University of Borås. The survey presented a fictitious case in which a money laundering scandal was illustrated as well as information on how the students would be affected by the scandal. In one case, the students were financially negatively affected by the scandal while in the other case they were not affected financially. Half of the students received the survey were they were negatively affected and the other half, the one where they weren´t affected. Findings: Many of the students seemed to have relatively stable relationships with their banks before the scandals. Following the scandals the students seemed to value their self-interest which meant that they were no longer as loyal, as before, to their banks. There was a clear change in attitude among the students following the scandals regardless of financial impact. Conclusions: Based on the study’s modified model, we can conclude that the students' values, self-interest and loyalty to the bank contribute to a change in attitude towards the bank as a result of the scandals. This means that in the fictitious cases, the money laundering scandal had an effect on the students' existing attitudes towards their banks. The change in attitude further leads to a behavior caused by the scandals.

Full textAbstract:
When the case for organizational change is presented as a “vision,” is action to support the change more likely? This notion was tested in two studies in the context of diversity issues at work. Diversity was selected as the context because Canadian workplaces are becoming increasingly diverse, and organizations are confronted with the challenge of addressing diversity issues appropriately and effectively. Moreover, theoretically critical features of visions, such as a connection with personal values, may be present in a vision of diversity. It was hypothesized that a vision—a picture of a desirable future state—may be more effective when it is aligned with individuals’ self interests and personal values. In Study 1, small groups of undergraduate male and female students (N=221) were presented with a vision of a proposed Employment Equity (EE) program that focused on raising women's employment rates. Self-interest was captured in the design as the interaction of participant gender with extent of employment change for women (small vs. large) resulting from the implementation of the EE program. Value orientation was captured by participants’ importance ranking of social justice on a pre-study measure. Verifying the self interest manipulation, men were seen to perceive that this program would influence their career advancement negatively and this effect was significantly stronger in the condition with the large increase in women’s employment. The most striking finding emerged with the three-way interaction between gender, social justice orientation, and the extent of employment change condition as these variables affected participants’ willingness to support the proposed EE program. Men who placed lower value on social justice showed a straightforward self-interest effect, with lowest support for the policy occurring when the increase in the women’s employment rate was greater. In contrast, men with higher social justice value were more favourable toward the policy that produced a greater change in women’s employment rates. For these men, personal values seemed to trump self-interests. Results involving positive affect mirrored the pattern of these results. Compared to a small employment increase for women, a large mandated increase in women’s employment led men who placed lower value on social justice to report feeling less positive. However, men who placed higher value on social justice reported feeling more positive when the mandated increase in women’s employment was large. Study 2 further examined the role of values in responding to a vision involving diversity. It was hypothesized that when values guide behaviour, the underlying motivation is relatively autonomous. That is, instead of yielding to guilt or social pressure, the values-guided person acts to attain identity fulfillment. To investigate this matter, undergraduate students (N=475) were randomly assigned to watch either a visionary presentation about promoting workforce diversity or a business case presentation. The visionary presentation described a prejudice-free, inclusive workplace; the business case covered the legalities of diversity. It was found that participants whose values were diversity-oriented felt more “inspired” than other participants overall, and this effect was significantly stronger in the vision condition. The primary difference in findings between experimental conditions involved the association between a measure of autonomous motivation and participants’ reports of intended action. A positive, significant association was obtained in the vision condition; no significant association was obtained with the business case. These results are understandable from the conditional nature of autonomous motivation as assessed here. That is, in both conditions, some people (i.e., autonomously motivated people) said that if they acted to promote diversity, it would be in order to promote their personal values. However, it was only in the vision condition in which the connection of diversity-promotion action to personal values was made salient. Thus it appears that a vision can influence behaviour by inducing autonomously motivated people to recognize this connection. The vision was not more influential overall in motivating participants to support the proposed cause. Nonetheless results indicated that a vision can be a complementary tool in a diversity change implementation by sparking an interest to act within the right people. Taken together, the findings from these two studies indicate that a key way a vision motivates behaviour is by forging the link between values and a course of action.

Full textAbstract:
The accounting profession continually has problems with hiring and keeping qualified staff; and many accounting scandals have shown a lack of ethical behavior on the part of Certified Public Accountants (CPA). This suggest a misfit between those in the profession and the ethics that the profession strives towards. Research has shown that the congruity of personal values with organizational values, person-organization fit (P-O fit), is an important factor in the hiring, socialization, and retention of employees. In addition, ethical behavior has been found related to P-O fit. Accounting educators have been called upon to address these problems by inculcating accounting students with the values of the accounting profession.
This research firstly reports on the results of a comparison of the personal values of upper level accounting students in Georgia with the personal values of CPA leaders in Georgia. Personal value priorities were measured with the Rokeach Value Survey (RVS). The findings indicated that these samples of Georgia CPA leaders (N = 193) and accounting students (N = 516) significantly differed in the priority given to 24 of the 36 (66.7%) RVS values. This result suggests a lack of P-O fit between accounting students and the accounting profession.
Secondly, this research reports on the effectiveness of two education interventions designed to improve the P-O fit of accounting students: a Curriculum Modification Intervention and a Value Self-Confrontation (VSC) Intervention. These education interventions were delivered online as part of the content of two distance learning classes on accounting ethics. The curriculum of both classes were augmented with content aimed at increasing the priority given to the value of courageous. The two classes were designated as either Group 1 or Group 2. Group 1 received only the Curriculum Modification Intervention. Group 2 received both the Curriculum Modification Intervention and the VSC Intervention, which was targeted at increasing the priority given to the four values of capable,
courageous. honest, and responsible—values related to the Code of Professional Conduct and Bylaws (2012) of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
The results indicated that Group 1, from the beginning to the end of class (short-term value change), did not increase the priority given to courageous. Thus, the stand-alone Curriculum Modification Intervention did not result in the desired effect. Group 2, on the other hand, did increase the short-term priority given to all four of the targeted values. Moreover, Group 2 increased the long-term priority given to two of the four targeted values: capable and courageous. The higher priority given to these values at the end of class persisted for 15-16 weeks. The effect sizes indicated practical significance. These results suggest that the VSC Intervention was effective at inducing both short-term and long-term value change in the priority given to values of importance to the ethics of the accounting profession.
These findings have implications for CPA firms, specifically with regard to hiring ethically “fitting” staff and fostering an ethical culture in accounting firms. The results of this research also provide input that may be helpful in improving accounting pedagogy, especially the pedagogy of accounting ethics education and distance education.

The traditional approach to management has dominated the South African correctional system since its conception. The question arises whether there are any practical workable alternatives, especially as the present strategic intent, architecture and human resources are under suspicion. This research confirms the supposition that a new approach to strategy, structure, culture, management philosophy, work methods and people is emerging and that this approach can be enabled only by organisational renewal. A penological system that adopts a participative management approach would be classified as a world leader.

AbstractAddiction and its comorbid disorders lead not only to massive losses in lifestyle but also to a loss of values. On the other hand, therapy and thus healing always means a resumption of the value discussion. In the present case vignette, the change in values of an alcohol-dependent woman and her turn to the beautiful in the sense of a resource-oriented therapy are described. Enjoying beautiful things led the patient to increase the self-efficacy expectation; at the same time, it was the initial step to emerge from the victim role and to start a self-responsible life again. The Will to Beauty is an integral part of the Orpheus Programme, a resource-oriented therapy for treating substance use disorders and behavioural addictions.

AbstractIn agreement with Wildman’s statement about the structural failures in human functioning caused by individualism and cognitive errors, a new concept is introduced. This is needed because of the risk of generalizing with easy solutions, in so doing neglecting the basic human drives of self-enhancement, connectedness, and mastery. It is better that we acknowledge our individualism and failing cognitions, because this acknowledgment creates room for change. Here, the concept of personal leadership is introduced. Change can start with ourselves as the real game changers. The opportunities for personal leadership are based upon spirituality and spiritual concepts: self-knowledge, self-confidence, norms and values, openness, learning, and imagination.

AbstractInstitutions are placing increased emphasis on the importance of academic integrity. Suffusing a culture of integrity is complex work. Influencing academic cultures (including the shared norms, values, behaviours and assumptions we hold) requires impact across multiple organization levels, stakeholders, structures and systems. These dimensions can be influenced by working with individual instructors, learners and staff (micro), across departments, faculties, networks and working groups (meso), through to the institution (macro), and disciplinary, national and international levels (mega). Akin to nurturing strong teaching and learning cultures communities and practices, institutions tend to support change at the institutional (vision, policies, structures) and individual levels (targeted programs to develop expertise). Less focus has been placed on how we establish strong networks of support and knowledge-sharing to influence decision-making, action, and change at the meso and mega levels. In this chapter we offer an institutional self-study of academic integrity through a scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) lens. Informed by the 4M (micro, meso, macro, mega) framework, we examine how integrity is upheld and enacted at each level. We examine both formal and informal approaches to academic integrity, looking at how a systematic, multi-stakeholder networked approach has helped to establish a culture of integrity at our institution, and make recommendations for others, wishing to do the same.

AbstractThis chapter aims to provide a humanized understanding of stakeholder engagement. In doing so, we first revise the assumptions of human nature within the conceptualization of stakeholder engagement, and define stakeholders as resourced humans with personal resources such as different values, capabilities, interests, and emotions, which they can activate in value creation. After that, we take a relational view to stakeholder engagement to understand human interactions taking place in stakeholder relationships and value creation. Furthermore, we examine in-group and out-group interactions for humanizing stakeholder engagement, and discuss how to define individuals’ social self-concepts in interactions with other stakeholder groups, and how to simultaneously maintain trust within the stakeholder group. Finally, we argue that humanizing stakeholder engagement necessitates a change in the current business mindset from economic to multiple values, and from the focal firm to a stakeholder perspective.

AbstractGay neighborhoods, like all neighborhoods, are in a state of continual change. The relevance of gay neighborhoods—originally formed to promote segregation of individuals who identify as sexual minorities—is lately challenged by advances in technology, experiences with pandemics, shifts in generational opinion and social values, increasing acceptance of LGBTQ+ individuals, and (in certain places) increased rights and protections for LGBTQ+ individuals. This confluence of change has created for many people anxiety related to the belief that gay neighborhoods may be dissolving or even disappearing altogether. Seeking to address these concerns, this opening chapter of the book The Life and Afterlife of Gay Neighborhoods: Renaissance and Resurgence presents eight important takeaway messages distilled from the chapters in this volume that, taken together, provide an in-depth overview of the formation, maturation, current challenges, and future prospects of LGBTQ+ spaces in urban environments. Findings suggest that shifts in patterns of residence, socialization, and entertainment for LGBTQ+ residents and visitors across metropolitan space have resulted in certain gay neighborhoods becoming less gay while other neighborhoods become more gay. In this time of social change, economic inequities, public health crises, and technological evolution, gay neighborhoods provide a culturally and historically significant template for communities in confronting adversity, fear, and discrimination. At this point in their maturity, gay neighborhoods have reached a plateau in their evolution; from here we pause to consider the current state of gay neighborhoods—and trajectories that might describe their future form—as we contemplate the importance of gay neighborhoods in the ongoing advancement of LGBTQ+ people everywhere. We conclude by observing that while gayborhoods have experienced a certain level of de-gaying, the trend toward viewing gayborhoods as inclusive and gay-friendly places de-emphasizes the self-segregation aspects of gayborhoods that were important to their initial formation; consequently, while gay neighborhoods may become less gay, other neighborhoods may also become more gay.

AbstractContext: Twenty years after the publication of the agile manifesto, agility is becoming more and more popular in different contexts. Agile values are changing the way people work together and influence people’s mindset as well as the culture of organizations. Many organizations have understood that continuous improvement is based on measurement.Objective: The objective of this paper is to present how agility can be measured at the team level. For this reason, we will introduce our questionnaire for measuring agility, which is based on the agile values of the manifesto.Method: We developed a questionnaire comprising 36 items that measure the current state of a team’s agility in six dimensions (communicative, change-affine, iterative, self-organized, product-driven and improvement-oriented). This questionnaire has been evaluated with respect to several expert reviews and in a case study.Results: The questionnaire provides a method for measuring the current state of agility, which takes the individual context of the team into account. Furthermore, our research shows, that this technique enables the user to uncover dysfunctionalities in a team.Conclusion: Practitioners and organizations can use our questionnaire to optimize collaboration within their teams in terms of agility. In particular, the value delivery of an organization can be increased by optimizing collaboration at the team level. The development of this questionnaire is a continuous learning process with the aim to develop a standardized questionnaire for measuring agility.

AbstractThe contemporary world is marked by numerous new challenges: growth of inequality, migration, development of new technologies, climate change. All of them create tensions among nations, social groups or cultures. In the face of growing multiculturalism and need for dialogue, social responsibility as a concept in the educational field has received due attention. For instance, Berman (Educational Leadership, November:75–80, 1990; Children’s social consciousness and the development of social responsibility, University of New York Press, New York,1997; Leadership for social justice and democracy in our schools, Corwin Press, Thousand Oaks, CA, pp. 123–144, 2011) emphasized the importance of education for social responsibility in school and classroom and defined it as personal investment in the well-being of others. Vallaeys (GUNI Report of Higher Education in the World 5:88–96, 2014) discussed social responsibility as a matter of university mission and function. Berman (Leadership for social justice and democracy in our schools, Corwin Press, Thousand Oaks, CA, pp. 123–144, 2011) related the concept of social responsibility to the development of social consciousness that meant balancing on personal self-realization and personal achievement with equal focus on social self-realization and collective achievement. In particular, a person becomes conscious that personal development (i.e. How will I lead my life?) is interrelated with the development of others (i.e. What does the way I lead my life mean for the life of others?). In this case, social responsibility embraces cultural values and creates empowerment, cooperation, compassion, and respect.

AbstractAmidst the many problem that our societies are facing today, there is acknowledgment of the fact that the current economic system is unable to create and foster a just and stable society. This becomes increasingly true the more we continue to rely on the paradigm of the Homo economicus, which reveals itself as a fragile basis for a just and functioning society.The paradigm of the Homo economicus does not allow us to build a workable society; but then, the first question remains, what is the fundamental feature of the Homo, what does it mean to be human? And how can we build a just and functioning society?The theme of this work focuses on finding an answer through the paradigm of the Homo amans, that is, a paradigm in which we take into account not only human self-interest but also of those other features that are strongly linked with human life: the need for a meaning in our life, our relationship with our future and our relationship with other human beings. However, to change an anthropological paradigm, there is a necessary step that has to be addressed. To say that the paradigm of Homo economicus has been the dominant one so far, means that we have had a society that was imbued within a specific framework of customs, values, and traditions. Our society has been developed on a set of assumptions about human behavior, and on these assumptions have been developed institutions and procedures in which we trust.The attitude of trust is the main topic of this essay. To develop a society on the paradigm of Homo amans and to further develop the debate, one should ask what kind of expectation we should encourage in people, and what should the foundations for such expectations be. What, then, is the foundation of this sensible assurance? Why do we trust people and institutions? This chapter aims to analyze this fundamental requirement for the development of any kind of society: the need for trust between persons and communities.

Full textAbstract:
Axiological education is education for and through authentic values, validated socio-culturally, practically, with the help of reconsidering the instructive-educational process in a value sense. The whole world opts for an education that would be focused on prospective and continuous availability, for knowledge and action, for the cultural perfection of the human personality, for reflection, active and critical spirit, for the creative and optimal adaptation of man to the social context, in permanent change. Axiological pedagogy goes beyond the classical side of education for and through values and adds another important objective: the theoretical and practical study of training for valorization, for the acquisition and practice of value criteria in the critical assessment of various aspects of education, self-education. At the same time, it highlights aspects related to the knowledge of values, their selection, ordering in relation to the definition of the goals of personality formation, the specification of the means of achievement, the coordination of processes, the application of value criteria in all educational actions, for their evaluation and optimization. The diachronic perspective of the students' literary-artistic axiology follows the concepts of value/literary-artistic value, being addressed the problem of defining literary-artistic values/values from a philosophical, social, anthropological and pedagogical perspective, which resulted in an own definition of literary value - artistic. Literary-artistic values are examined in direct relation with the notion of text and work, as well as with the reading activity of the reader and the teacher of Romanian language and literature. A special compartment is devoted to the comparative study of values, and another to interculturality, examined from the perspective of literary-artistic values, establishing that interculturality is an implicit feature of any literary work.

The paper studies the values and ethics of students. In Slovenia, the value orientations, and views on ethics change with growing up, as in other developed countries. The key changes occurred during the transition from the traditional to the modern, and then to the postmodern information society. Differences in values and views on ethics are perceived through generations. Therefore, we ask a research question, how do students evaluate their values and how high is their self-esteem of ethics. 182 undergraduate students were included in the study. Data collection took place from March 2020 to December 2021. Through the analysis of collected data based on students’ selfassessments, we determine which type of values, and which individual values are best assessed, and how they evaluate their ethics. We conclude the article by giving our opinion based on the findings of the research.

Full textAbstract:
It is understandable that digital health services are now being developed in the context of a global emergency. However, it is crucial that standards are in place for these services to support their operation in a way that accommodates common interests and objectives and recognises the level of their importance for all stakeholders involved (including service recipients or users). We believe that it is necessary to establish and maintain quality standards for digital health products and services in these conditions. Furthermore, even after the pandemic, the need to integrate digital health services into traditional health and social services will remain a priority. Therefore we consider whether multi-criteria, self assessment tools, supported with artificial intelligence, can raise standards of digital health services that are rapidly developing as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe that such digital services are no longer just an alternative form of health care. It follows that frameworks for the development of standards, accreditation and regulation must also be included as national (or supra-national) priorities. These will help ensure not only technological but also service quality.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Objectives / Scope Re-wheeling compressors to match late-life field conditions gives significant benefits in operational efficiency and carbon reduction. But changing the compressor wheels and increasing shaft speeds also introduces a risk in terms of the rotor-dynamic stability of the system. API assessments use deterministic methods to assess the design change, but give less information in terms of the key risks and how to control them. This paper outlines new methods for assessing rotor dynamic risks to compressors during re-wheeling and their value over traditional methods. Methods New methods were developed to extend beyond the API requirements in order to assess and manage the rotor-dynamic risk as part of a peer review process of re-wheeling a compressor train. A combination of sensitivity studies on key parameters and Self Organizing Maps (SOMs - a machine learning technique) was used to identify the factors which present the greatest risk to the re-wheeling, and a Monte Carlo analysis was used to identify the change in risk of rotor-dynamic problems when compared with the existing machine. Results The Monte Carlo analysis used random distributions of factors on key input parameters, and the same factors were applied to the existing and re-wheeled designs. It identified that although the re-wheeled design was nominally more stable than the existing design according to the API analysis, it actually presented a greater risk of instability. This is because the distribution of resulting stability values had a higher mean but a greater spread than the existing machine when subject to uncertainty in input parameters. Since the existing machine is free from dynamics problems, the parameter combinations which resulted in an unstable existing machine could be discounted, but the resulting subset of factors when applied to the re-wheeled design still gave some unstable cases. Therefore, the fact that the existing machine is free from dynamics problems does not in itself discount the possibility of problems following the re-wheel. SOMs were used to identify the components which posed the greatest risk to the re-wheeled design. This highlighted that low stiffness in two particular bearings along the high speed shaft would pose the greatest risk to shaft stability, meaning that close attention can be paid by the operators and OEMs to this to manage the risks as the re-wheel progresses. Novel Information This work shows that probabilistic and machine learning techniques have significant value in managing risks during compressor re-wheeling, highlighting risks which would not be identified using standard deterministic methods and focusing attention on the aspects which are most important to manage them.

There is a necessary for self-regulation of a personality during change of leading sort of activity and adaptation to new one. The article considers means which is able to contribute for increase of social adaptation at University. The interconnection between socio-psychological adaptation of students at University and parameters of empathy has been discovered by empirical way. This connection has been examined on analytical, structural and functional levels by using both methods of qualitative and statistical analysis, based on system approach to the research. It was used such methods of interrogation as `Assessment of the level of empathic abilities` by V. V. Boyko; `The methodology of diagnosis of socio-psychological adaptation` by C. Rogers and R. Diamond; `Adaptation of students to University` by M. S. Yurkina. The selection including 233 people was divided into levels by degree of manifestation of expectation for internal control for consideration of features. It includes low level (external control), medium level (optimum) and high one (internal control). It was determined that internal locus of control has an impact on increase of adaptation to University life. It was figured out that there is a manifestation of self-control in individuals who get predominance of conative parameters of empathy. Increase of adaptation is able to be achieved by using combination of the system elements such as an augmentation of facilitate empathic impacts, decrease of inhibitory ones and transformation of neutral effects of empathy on socio-psychological adaptation. Attention was also paid to the research of the structural complex both in general and in its individual manifestations. The structural analysis let to reveal basic and system-forming features of examined connection. Thus, conditions for the average manifestation of expectation of internal control have been found and it was determined that this phenomenon takes on base significance because its middle values promote for integration of system ingredients and increase of system system ability to adaptation process. In such a way it has been proved that harmonization of personality structure is possible being achieved due the increase of self-control and correction of empathic means as a mechanism of responsiveness.

Much existing work aims to understand how to change human behavior through product-design interventions. Given the diversity of individuals and their motivations, solutions that address different motives are surprisingly rare. We aim to develop and validate a framework that clearly identifies and targets different types of behavioral motives in users. We present a behavior model comprising egoistic, sociocultural and altruistic motives, and apply the model to sustainable behavior. We confirmed the explanatory power of the behavior model by categorizing user comments about an international environmental agreement from multiple news sources. We next developed concepts, each intended to target a single motive type, and elicited evaluations from online respondents who self-assessed their motivation type after evaluating the concepts. We present and discuss correlation results between motive types and preference for products that target these types for two iterations of the experiment. Deviations from our expected results are mainly due to unexpected perceptions, both positive and negative, of our concepts. Despite this, the main value of this work lies in the explicit consideration of a manageable number of different types of motives. A proposed design tool incorporates the three types of motives from the model with the different levels of persuasion others have proposed to change user behavior.

Full textAbstract:
An assessment program to evaluate microproject-based teaching/learning (MicroPBL) methodology on the technical subject ‘Manufacturing Technology’ was implemented for four consecutive academic years. Students from three different engineering degrees were involved providing feedback through different surveys that allowed us to perform a proper evaluation. More specifically, students’ surveys were anonymous after each academic year, except the last one, in which non-anonymous pre and post-surveys were conducted. The surveys were meant to evaluate the acquisition of specific competences (using technical questions about the subject) as well as generic competences (using questions concerning soft-skills). We also checked the students’ satisfaction with the methodology and with the signature in general. Using non-anonymous surveys allowed us to correlate results with the student’s final scores. Students’ self-assessment concerning their knowledge about technical aspects drastically changed after the course. The average of the subject’s final score from student’s perception was slightly higher than the actual value. Student’s self-perception on soft-skills was also increased at the end of the course. The MicroPBL methodology demonstrated beneficial for the case of this technical subject as it maintained high motivation levels in students, which were directly related to students’ success rates and final scores.

Abstract. Structural health monitoring has proven to be a dependable source for ensuring the integrity of the structure. It also aids in detecting and estimating the progression of cracks and the loss of structural performance. The most compelling components in the structural health monitoring system are sensing material and sensor technology. In health monitoring systems, fiber optic sensors, strain gauges, temperature sensors, shape memory alloys, and other types of sensors are commonly used. Even though the sensors bring monetary value to the system, they have some apparent drawbacks. As a result, self-sensing cement composite was established as a sensor alternative with better endurance and compatibility than sensors. Carbon nanotubes, nanofibers, graphene nanoplates, and graphene oxide are carbon-based nanomaterials with unique mechanical and electrical properties. As a result, this review comprises a complete assessment of the fresh, mechanical, and electrical properties of self-sensing cement composite developed using carbon-based nanoparticles. The research also focuses on the self-monitoring performance of cement composite in concrete beams, both bulk and embedded, by graphing the deviation of fractional change in resistivity with strain. The network channel development of carbon-based nanomaterials in cement composites and their characterization acquired using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-Ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD) research are also comprehensively discussed. According to the study, increasing carbon-based embedment decreased the relative slump and flowability while increasing the composite's compressive, split tensile, flexural, and post-peak performance. Also, the amount of carbon in the carbon-based nanomaterial directly relates to the composite's conductivity. As a result, the development of piezoresistive and sensing capabilities in carbon-based self-sensing cement composites not only improves mechanical and conductive properties but also serves as a sensor in structural health monitoring of flexural members.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In a deepwater environment, any remedial operation has a high impact on the overall costs during the life of the wells. The zonal isolation can be compromised due to the exposure of the well's main components (casing and cement) to the changes in the stress conditions. The changes in wellbore conditions can occur during the drilling, production, intervention, and decommissioning stages. Typically, conditions such as fluid pathway and high formation pressure are sufficient to lose zonal isolation. The fluid pathway can be a fissure, an induced crack in the cement sheath, a mud channel, a micro-microannulus, or changes in the cement matrix permeability. As a result of the oil industry technology developments, progresses, the advanced stress-modelling software and the availability of cement and rock properties property data have enabled to an improved understanding of the cement behavior under stress. Prevention of the loss of the hydraulic isolation provided by the primary cementing in the annulus can be assessed by predicting the mechanical failure of the cement sheath. Formation geo-mechanics is one of the main factors that help in designing a robust cement system for changing stresses. Furthermore, the consequence result of the cement sheath failure can be mitigated by the placement of placing a self-healing cement (SHC) system to maintain long-term zonal isolation. An interdisciplinary approach can be used to determine the following: Understand the impact of the well plan, and fluid densities on well integrity, in addition to cementing best practices.Characterize typical deepwater field formations, and establish limits for geo-mechanical values of each layer.Identify critical factors and focus on the pay zones.Understand potential issues and communication between the pay zones and the aquifers that are already previously confirmed.Determine risk of zonal communication assessment, mitigation, and prevention measurement implementations Once the formation data is validated by the operator, the life cycle of the well is simulated and the risk of zonal isolation can be evaluated. The results of this assessment can help the operator choose between to take the approach of mitigation, prevention, or a combination of both. The objective is to place a robust cement sheath with advanced mechanical performance in the pay zones that can resist the failures due to changing stresses during the well testing and production. This paper uses presents examples from a deepwater development field to show how cement systems with advanced mechanical properties counter the critical stresses during the lifecycle of a well and maintain zonal isolation.

Full textAbstract:
In orthopedics research, assessment of fracture healing progress is vital for evaluating treatment strategies and drug effects. Currently, biomechanical testing represents the ‘gold standard’ for determining the extent of healing, with the parameters of stiffness and strength most often reported. Unfortunately, such testing requires destructive examination of samples, which allows healing to be checked at only one time-point per animal. Thus, evaluation of healing requires large sample sizes to achieve statistical power. In contrast, longitudinal studies of individual animals allows for self-comparison, which is more reliable, and can be used to evaluate bone healing as time elapses. Recently, longitudinal radiographic assessment of bone healing in rats, using parameters such the level of bone mineralization, morphological changes, and distribution of the mineralized bone, has been reported. However, the ability to quantify the biomechanical properties of healing bones based on longitudinal radiographic images provides an tremendous opportunity to increase the value of such studies.

Full textAbstract:
Each older person's perception of their health status is a fundamental factor in understanding quality of life and should be considered in social interventions. Health is one of the main concerns of the elderly, since at this stage of life there is a change in functional capacity and, consequently, a greater sense of fragility and dependence. The aim of this study was to analyze the perceived health of a group of elderly people attending the Day Care Centre (DC) and Home Support Service (HSS), as well as its comparison with the previous year, with the peer group and with the impact of the Pandemic. We conducted a questionnaire survey. We found that there is a relationship between gender and self-assessment of health status, with women being the ones who mostly make a negative assessment. Most of the older people had an "acceptable" value for self-assessment of health, followed by older people with a negative view of their health and only a very small number considered it to be positive. When health status was compared with the previous year the majority consider it to be "more or less the same" showing an adaptive process to ageing, followed by those who consider that their health status had worsened compared to the previous year. 38.1% of the elderly respondents considered that the pandemic had an impact on their health. All of them were female and belonged to the DC, a social response which suffered major impacts from the pandemic. Most of these elderly women consider that the greatest impact of this pandemic was at the psychological level.

Full textAbstract:
The article considers the possibility of analyzing the dynamics of changes in the characteristics of time series obtained on the basis of recurrence plots. The possibility of using the studied indicators to determine the presence of critical phenomena in economic systems is considered. Based on the analysis of economic time series of different nature, the suitability of the studied characteristics for the identification of critical phenomena is assessed. The description of recurrence diagrams and characteristics of time series that can be obtained on their basis is given. An analysis of seven characteristics of time series, including the coefficient of self-similarity, the coefficient of predictability, entropy, laminarity, is carried out. For the entropy characteristic, several options for its calculation are considered, each of which allows the one to get its own information about the state of the economic system. The possibility of using the studied characteristics as precursors of critical phenomena in economic systems is analyzed. We have demonstrated that the entropy analysis of financial time series in phase space reveals the characteristic recurrent properties of complex systems. The recurrence entropy methodology has several advantages compared to the traditional recurrence entropy defined in the literature, namely, the correct evaluation of the chaoticity level of the signal, the weak dependence on parameters. The characteristics were studied on the basis of daily values of the Dow Jones index for the period from 1990 to 2019 and daily values of oil prices for the period from 1987 to 2019. The behavior of recurrence entropy during critical phenomena in the stock markets of the USA, Germany and France was studied separately. As a result of the study, it was determined that delay time measure, determinism and laminarity can be used as indicators of critical phenomena. It turned out that recurrence entropy, unlike other entropy indicators of complexity, is an indicator and an early precursor of crisis phenomena. The ways of further research are outlined.
