A Literature Review On Human Resource Accountingijcite
Human resource accounting is of recent origin and is striving for
acceptance. Human resources accounting is an accounting analysis
system and in the last decade a large body of literature has been
published for setting the various procedures for analysis. At the same
time from academicians the theory and underlying concepts of
accounting measurement have received sizeable attention and a
considerable body of literature has developed. The conventional
accountings of human resources are not perceived as physical or
financial assets. This paper reviews the literature available on the
perception of human resource accounting. In worth, previous study have
shown and debated various magnitudes related to valuing human
resource. For accounting human resources, different models have been
developed which are helpful to identify and report investment made in
the human resource of an organization that are not presently accounted
for under conventional accounting practice.

Production of Knowledge_D.Foray_chapter3 -EbruBasakEbru Basak
The document discusses different types of knowledge production and research. It describes research as a "distance" activity that is conducted separately from production and consumption in order to allow for specialized knowledge creation. The document outlines four forms of knowledge production: off-line R&D, on-line learning by doing, the search model, and the coordination model. It also distinguishes between three types of research: basic/fundamental research, applied research, and the production of infratechnologies.
Research is the systematic and objective analysis and recording of controlled observations that may lead to the development of generalizations, principles, or theories, resulting in prediction and possible control of events .

This document discusses the limitations of current management thinking and knowledge practices, particularly in the development sector. It argues that the dominant Western knowledge system, shaped by 19th century intellectual trends, overemphasizes quantitative analysis, measurement, and efficiency. While useful historically, this approach is ill-suited to today's complex problems and knowledge economy. The document calls for an alternative knowledge system based on rhetoric that better addresses organizational contexts and real-world situations in development work.
The document discusses how knowledge has increasingly become viewed as a competitive advantage and driver of economic growth and productivity. It describes how knowledge is now being codified through information technology in new ways, and how this has begun to change traditional paradigms around knowledge in universities and research. Additionally, the emergence of globalization and competitive global markets has influenced academia over the last two decades, bringing market terms and focus on economic indicators into academic life and research. Knowledge is now seen largely as a tool for business and government rather than the focus of academic disciplines alone.
Education Futures: Part of the Solution or Part of the Problem?Richard Sandford
This document discusses the need for changes in how we think about and organize the world due to two major shifts: 1) in our understanding of complexity and indeterminacy in the universe, and 2) toward heterarchy and a more learning-intensive society. It proposes moving to a "learning intensive society" model characterized by greater learning intensity in daily life, unique creation of value, empowered teamwork, and dynamic governance with extensive decision-making capacity. This type of society embraces complexity, spontaneity, and experimentation using futures literacy to anticipate possibilities rather than predict the future in a deterministic way.
Mass media research is a vast field that not only describes audience-producer relationship but also describes how media influences our mindset within seconds in reshaping communal landscapes. One confusing aspect that beginners face is their assumption of communality between researcher and statistician. In no way are these two similar. In practical terms, mass media research does not require researchers to become statisticians. Statisticians generate statistical calculations, procedures and formulas, wholly known as algorithm. Meanwhile a researcher uses those algorithms to investigate his research problem. A systematic, controlled, empirical and critical investigation of hypothetical propositions about the presumed relations among observed phenomena is known to be a scientific method of conducting a research. I hope you will get benefited from my prepared document.
Global competency is a dynamic process that involves universities becoming more extroverted in their knowledge, practices, and research methods. It has both an internal dimension focused on developing globally competent skills and knowledge among students, and an outward dimension involving the internationalization and multicultural application of those elements. Key aspects of developing global competency include extroversion in research, interaction between methods and ethos, willingness to adopt changes, communication at all levels, and initiatives to engage the academic community. Global competency and comprehensive internationalization are interconnected processes that are transforming universities into globally connected institutions over the next 500 years.
Paradigm shifts in agricultural extension involve transitions from one dominant perspective to another. Key shifts have included moving from a technology transfer model to advisory work, human resource development, and facilitation for farmer empowerment. Paradigm shifts occur through the discovery of anomalies that challenge existing beliefs, or through invention as new perspectives emerge to address failures of current approaches. Factors like national priorities, the role of government, globalization, and new challenges shape how paradigms evolve over time to incorporate more participatory, systemic, and sustainable approaches to agricultural research and development.
A New Paradigm of knowledge production in Minnesota higher educationJohn Moravec
The document summarizes the findings of a Delphi study on the potential futures of higher education in Minnesota given trends of globalization, the rise of the knowledge society, and accelerating change. The study identified 24 statements on potential futures through an environmental scan. It then conducted 3 rounds of questionnaires with university leaders to build consensus on the statements. The implications for higher education leadership were categorized into 10 themes: accountability, knowledge production, curricula, collaboration, external relations, faculty relations, structural realignment, funding/resources, students, and technology leadership. The researcher proposes further solidifying findings, exploring accelerating change's impact in more detail, broadening the scope, and reiterating the Delphi process to achieve consensus.
This document summarizes a research paper that investigates using electronic scents delivered through wearable technologies to subtly alter one's reality and enhance well-being. It proposes a new design process to integrate scent delivery systems into fashion accessories or textiles. These systems would use biosensors and fragrances to trigger a "day-dreaming" or "oneiric" state of mind. The goal is to enhance creativity and mood through reaching altered states of consciousness induced by smells. It argues that scent has powerful effects on emotion and memory in the brain. By combining scent delivery with biotechnology, the paper suggests wearable technologies could offer new sensory experiences and dimensions through a personal "scent wave".
This document provides an overview of qualitative research methods. It discusses key concepts such as collecting and analyzing non-numerical data to understand experiences and opinions. It compares qualitative and quantitative research, noting that qualitative research takes context into account and occurs in natural settings, while the researcher acts as the instrument. The document also outlines some challenges and barriers to qualitative research, as well as different philosophies on knowledge and reality, such as positivism and subjective views.
Debate on Production, Evaluation, Storage and DisseminationScientific Informa...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT:World reality is evolving faster than scientific research capacity is able to systematize its understanding. At
the heart of globalization is technological development. Today we are experiencing a profound technological revolution. In
the last twenty years more technological and scientific knowledge has been accumulated than in the entire history of
mankind. This has a positive side due to the significant advances in terms of increasing productivity that has been achieved,
due to advances in health, information and so many others. Technological progress has not had a corresponding advance in
institutional terms, especially at the civilizational level, which makes it explosive for society.The globalization of
information promotes the integration of research, seeking to contribute at the same time to a significant improvement in the
production, peer review, retrieval, dissemination, interpretation, and usefulness of scientific information. The dissemination
of knowledge is done through events, conferences, and publications. To understand a scientific field, whatever it may be, this
research considered the possibility of analyzing the elements involved, the established relationships, the processes of
production, evaluation, storage and dissemination of knowledge. Based on the quantitative and qualitative results of Web
Science, it is possible to recognize and applaud the researchers who contribute the most / contributed to the development of
different sciences / disciplines / areas of the scientific field, by analyzing their citations.The research proposes a global
hybrid conceptual model of production, peer review, storage and dissemination of scientific knowledge, based on scientific
publications (books, articles, conferences), on specialized journals, their evaluation models and the main units of measures
used, as well as indexing, for the dissemination of scientific knowledge. Hierarchical models are proposed to separate the
initiates from those who contribute the most (the highly cited) to the development of knowledge, the respective scientific
field and its characteristics of universality. It contemplates the theoretical and practical discussion of the global conceptual
model, the units of measurement and their meaning, in their different approaches.

Technology and co-operative practice against the neoliberal universityRichard Hall
Slides for my presentation at the CAPPE, Neoliberalism and Everyday Life conference on 4 September 2014 http://arts.brighton.ac.uk/research/cappe/conferences/conferences/annual-conference-neoliberalism-and-everyday-life
This document discusses challenges facing scientific disciplines and institutions in the 21st century. It notes that while traditional disciplines have advanced knowledge, they have also led to overspecialization and ignorance of relations between fields. The complexity of modern problems requires integrated, multi-disciplinary approaches. However, established institutions often resist new ideas and paradigms that do not fit traditional models. To promote innovation while maintaining established strengths, universities need flexible structures like centers and programs that support collaboration across disciplines without needing to establish new departments. This balances the needs of normal science with allowing new ideas to develop.
Writing an essay on consumerism poses several challenges. It requires navigating a vast amount of information from different disciplines like economics, sociology, and environmental studies. Additionally, consumerism is constantly evolving with technology, globalization, and changing social values. Crafting a compelling argument about consumerism's complex impacts on individuals, society, and the environment demands thorough research, a clear thesis, and weighing ethical considerations carefully. Seeking assistance from expert writers can help students successfully summarize this multifaceted topic.
Development of Social Sciences in Dissertations of Immanuel Wallerstein - Imp...RemigiuszRosicki
This paper presents an analysis of the social science development concept of Immanuel Wallerstein. In general terms we can say that the development of social sciences was based on a process of emancipation of individual subjects of research and validation of research methods.
I. Wallerstein drew attention to the process of emancipation of individual disciplines, therefore
we can talk about the separation of philosophy, followed by social sciences and, negatively evaluated by I. Wallerstein, applied social sciences. With the constitution of individual disciplines
we dealt with the process of polarising methodological positions, which can be roughly described as the concept of two cultures. The text describes the following issues: (1) the directions
of emancipation of scientific disciplines, (2) the processes of emancipation of scientific disciplines, (3) the dynamics of changes in social sciences, (4) the effects of changes occurring in sciences. In addition to the main assumptions of I. Wallerstein on science, the text attempts to confront these assumptions with the achievements of T. S. Kuhn, R. K. Merton and C. W. Mills. The aim of the article is to point out the implications for the “theory of international relations” deriving from the general trends in the development of social sciences. This issue has come down to only selected issues of: microscopisation, idealisation, metaphorical use, deformation, transcendentalisation, fictionalisation and fetishisation of notions in the “theory of international relations”.

20 Years Of Research In Microfinance An Information Management ApproachHannah Baker
This document summarizes a paper that analyzes over 1,800 microfinance research papers published between 1997 and 2017 using bibliometric and scientometric methods. The analysis identifies two main research traditions in microfinance - papers focusing on microfinance clients (welfarism) and papers focusing on microfinance institutions themselves (institutionalism). While early research was dominated by welfarism, the analysis found that institutionalism has grown in prominence. A keyword analysis revealed that microfinance research has evolved through three stages - initial description of microcredit innovations, analysis of microfinance institutions, and current focus on achieving financial inclusion. Emerging topics identified include Islamic finance and the use of more sophisticated data analysis techniques.
