{"title":"Innovation efforts in the supply of health services after the Health Transformation Program in Türkiye","authors":"Gizem Özgen, Özge Uysal Şahin","doi":"10.26809/joa.2107","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26809/joa.2107","url":null,"abstract":"Health innovation is defined as innovations and improvements in health policies, health system, health products and services, health technologies and service delivery methods in order to improve people’s health. The emphasis on innovation in healthcare has been increasing in recent years due to challenges such as rising costs and an aging population. Innovation, which is of vital importance for the health sector, becomes one of the main determinants of social welfare and quality of life with the innovations and advances it brings. Innovative products and services increase the possibilities of early diagnosis and treatment, thus preventing future costs. In this way, alternative solution options can be created for the benefit of the patient, with the increase efficiency of the health system in the long term. In addition, positive externalities can be provided to many health related sectors. With innovation, it is possible to produce cheap and accessible solutions by using advanced technologies in health services where resources are very limited.In this study, it is aimed to draw a conceptual framework on innovation and health innovation and to explain the innovations in health service supply within the framework of the Health Transformation Program put into practice in 2003. In recent years, significant changes have been made in the Turkish health system, especially in the financing, presentation and organization of the service within the scope of health innovation. Although significant progress has been made in the health system with the impact of these changes, there is still some work to be done. As a result of the study, what has been done has been evaluated and recommendations and suggestions have been made about what should be done.","PeriodicalId":34416,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Awareness","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135314525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thoughts of a British Prime Minister Regarding Brexit","authors":"Timea Varga","doi":"10.24073/jga/4/01/06","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.24073/jga/4/01/06","url":null,"abstract":"The aim of my research is to examine what David Cameron, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, was thinking all the way through the process of the UK’s secession from the European Union: why he made certain decisions and what influenced him. In order to do that, I use speeches, parliamentary debates, and memoirs, including several interviews with the former PM. The research methodology primarily uses the tools of discourse analysis: I examine the semantic elements, words, sentences and other characteristics of the political discourse, paying attention to the strategic structure of speech modes. By interpreting his political thinking and analysing his speeches, I wish to examine the impact of this leading politician on his own party’s and the electorate’s views on the EU. Understanding this can help to interpret the relationship between Britain and Europe, and perhaps in part, give an answer as to why the British chose to continue outside the Union. Based on this, we can also try to assess what this relationship will look like in the future.","PeriodicalId":34416,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Awareness","volume":"204 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135792480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Coville","doi":"10.24073/jga/4/01/05","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.24073/jga/4/01/05","url":null,"abstract":"In 2013, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) issued a\u0000 paper that encouraged accountants to use their expertise and skills to “help an\u0000 organization link sustainability activity to strategies using accounting measures,\u0000 tools, theories, and techniques” AICPA (Oct. 2013 page 6). Later that same year, the\u0000 Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) added “diversity,\u0000 sustainable development, environmental sustainability, and other emerging corporate and\u0000 social responsibility issues” to its accreditation standards for accounting programs\u0000 AACSB (2013). All along sustainability, accounting continued to grow in importance, as\u0000 evidenced by the percentage of S&P 500 companies that issue sustainability reports,\u0000 having grown from 20% in 2011 to 92% in 2020, according to Hart (2018) and the\u0000 Governance and Accountability Institute, Inc. (2021). Thus, accounting programs have\u0000 been called upon to, and have real world evidence of the need to, add education in\u0000 sustainability accounting and reporting to their curriculums. Yet, the research\u0000 conducted for this article shows that less than 11% of AACSB accredited Accountancy\u0000 programs are offering even a single course that includes the words ‘Sustainability’;\u0000 ‘Environmental’; Corporate Responsibility, or ‘Social Responsibility’ in its title at\u0000 either the undergraduate or graduate levels, as of the spring of 2022. This 11% was an\u0000 improvement from the 2% noted by Pippin et al. (2016); however, it is still a very low\u0000 level. This article goes on to describe, through an analysis of students’ responses to a\u0000 pre and post-course survey, how the inclusion of a sustainability accounting and\u0000 reporting course in a university’s accounting curriculum fostered changes in the\u0000 students’ appreciation for the different dimensions of responsibilities and\u0000 opportunities they will encounter as future accounting professionals and society’s\u0000 future business leaders. This article encourages other higher education institutions\u0000 (HEI) to add such courses to their accounting curriculum both by showing the benefits\u0000 experienced by the students and by providing information for such a course’s structure,\u0000 content, and grading.","PeriodicalId":34416,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Awareness","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44829770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CVS Health started as a Consumers\u0000 Value Store where all types of miscellaneous products were sold. Later CVS evolved,\u0000 became a pharmaceutical company, and began to see more profit; eventually, they changed\u0000 their company name to CVS Pharmacy to focus more on the healthcare aspect because it\u0000 brought in more revenue. Expanding their healthcare services also helped expand the\u0000 company’s market presence. Currently, the store is recognized as CVS Health in the\u0000 S&P 500 sector. This research explores and identifies CVS Health’s success,\u0000 especially in creating a competitive advantage through global supply chains.","PeriodicalId":34416,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Awareness","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45809065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The text includes a reflection on the search for a universal\u0000 set of ethical values, a presentation of the context important for undertaking the\u0000 related initiatives following “An Appeal for a Global Ethics Framework & A Tool-Kit\u0000 for Ethics Self-Assessment,” a general description of the process of creating and\u0000 characterizing the ESA concept and information about the declaration of its universal\u0000 availability. The tool is currently working in twelve languages (esa.sgh.waw.pl). The\u0000 text also expresses the need to share knowledge of initiatives that, regardless of the\u0000 format (whether small or large), can contribute to the desired changes in ethics:\u0000 global, national, and on any other scale. The last part of the study presents\u0000 observations resulting from the survey conducted in a group of people belonging to\u0000 Generation Z, using the characteristics of seven clusters of ethical values used in A\u0000 Tool-Kit for Ethics Self-Assessment (ESA). The survey allowed us to obtain information,\u0000 thanks to which it could be determined how the views of Generation Z preparing to work\u0000 in business differ in the area of ethics from the views of mature people. The diagnosis\u0000 referred to the compliance of choices made by university students with the cluster\u0000 ordering of ethical values (ideas) used in the Tool-Kit for Ethics Self-Assessment (ESA)\u0000 tool and those made by a group of mature people, well acquainted with the philosophy of\u0000 ethics and business practice, and at the same time sensitive to ethics in every aspect\u0000 of life, not only in economy. This idea stemmed from the assumption that the\u0000 identification of similarities as well as discrepancies in this respect may be cognitive\u0000 in determining generational differences. Thanks to the survey, a generalized description\u0000 of the respondents’ ethical awareness and sensitivity was made, as well as an original\u0000 radar of student perception of the importance of ethical values in defining an ideal\u0000 ethical attitude in business, presented here in the formula shown in the Tool-Kit for\u0000 Ethics Self-Assessment.","PeriodicalId":34416,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Awareness","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44763045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
