Budget Process in the US Universities Based on the Example of University of Nebraska at Omaha and of University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire (Case Study)

in
Description: 

Teimuraz Papaskiri, of Tbilisi State University, hosted by the University of Nebraska-Omaha, writes about budget management.

The main objective of this study was to determine the similarities and differences of budget management n the US universities and compare them to Georgian universities. In Georgia, all public universities became non-profit legal entities at the end of 2011, which means that their main state revenue streams come from student tuition and salaries for research institute personnel. In the US, state funding has decreased at most institutions.

State Ideology in Serbia and the Second World War (Research Brief)

in
Description: 

One of the stranger symptoms of the nationalist resurgence in Serbia since the fall of Yugoslavia has been the creeping rehabilitation of domestic collaborators with the Nazis. By focusing on the institution of the Serbian political police, which led the battle with communism before the war and continued its work undisturbed under the occupation, this project suggests that, despite their condominium with the Nazis, the collaborationist milieu was essentially espousing what are still the basic tenets of Serbian nationalism, and as such remain ideologically closer to the contemporary political mainstream than the communist and socialist ideals of the anti-fascist resistance.

One of the stranger symptoms of the nationalist resurgence in Serbia since the fall of Yugoslavia has been the creeping rehabilitation of domestic collaborators with the Nazis.

This project seeks to tackle roadblocks to treatment adherence in tuberculosis (TB) treatment programs that are unique to the Ukrainian context, with special attention given to the concerns of TB/HIV co-infection. Rather than seeking to design or impose new health interventions, which are often met with resistance, this project seeks to identify current practices that could be altered, enhanced, or expanded in order to improve treatment adherence.

Pathways into Teaching: Policy, Practice, and Evidence from Russia (Research Brief)

in
Description: 

Russia needs to recruit more teachers, and pedagogical institutions can help. Nearly 80 percent of teachers in Russia have higher education, but this statistic hides a high level of variability. Using data from interviews with schoolteachers and university faculty and students, this qualitative study compares the career paths of graduates of the two programs.

Russia needs to recruit more teachers, and pedagogical institutions can help. Nearly 80 percent of teachers in Russia have higher education, but this statistic hides a high level of variability. Most institutions deliver several forms of education: daytime, correspondence, evening, and non-residence. While correspondence teacher education is in high demand, empirical studies comparing the correspondence and daytime programs in Russia are rare.
