UNIVERSITY STAFF APPRAISAL: ANALYSIS, OPPORTUNITIES, PROSPECTS

На примере Владивостокского государственного университета экономики и сервиса авторы статьи выявляют сильные стороны и проблемные зоны в кадровом менеджменте высшего учебного заведения. Раскрывается проблема оптимизации управления университетом в целом и управления персоналом как ведущей подсистемы менеджмента вуза. Приводится анализ практики применения различных методов оценки персонала динамично развивающегося университета. Рассматриваются современные технологии деловой оценки, планируемые к применению в ближайшей перспективе, положительно зарекомендовавшие себя, в том числе, и в бизнес-среде (профессиональные конкурсы, оценка при формировании кадрового резерва, ассессмент).The authors of the present article take Vladivostok State University of Economics and Service as an example to determine strengths and weaknesses of higher educational institution staff administration. The problems of optimization of university management and staff administration as a leading subsystem of university management are described. The practical application of various methods of dynamically developing University staff evaluation is analyzed. Modern technologies of appraisal are studied, successfully proven in different spheres, including business environment (professional competitions, evaluation in the process of personnel reserve formation, assessment) and planned to be used in the near term

Oncoprotein DEK as a tissue and urinary biomarker for bladder cancer

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Bladder cancer is a significant healthcare problem in the United States of America with a high recurrence rate. Early detection of bladder cancer is essential for removing the tumor with preservation of the bladder, avoiding metastasis and hence improving prognosis and long-term survival. The objective of this study was to analyze the presence of DEK protein in voided urine of bladder cancer patients as a urine-based bladder cancer diagnostic test.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>We examined the expression of DEK protein by western blot in 38 paired transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) bladder tumor tissues and adjacent normal tissue. The presence of DEK protein in voided urine was analyzed by western blot in 42 urine samples collected from patients with active TCC, other malignant urogenital disease and healthy individuals.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>The DEK protein is expressed in 33 of 38 bladder tumor tissues with no expression in adjacent normal tissue. Based on our sample size, DEK protein is expressed in 100% of tumors of low malignant potential, 92% of tumors of low grade and in 71% of tumors of high grade. Next, we analyzed 42 urine samples from patients with active TCC, other malignant urogenital disease, non-malignant urogenital disease and healthy individuals for DEK protein expression by western blot analysis. We are the first to show that the DEK protein is present in the urine of bladder cancer patients. Approximately 84% of TCC patient urine specimens were positive for urine DEK.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>Based on our pilot study of 38 bladder tumor tissue and 42 urine samples from patients with active TCC, other malignant urogenital disease, non-malignant urogenital disease and healthy individuals; DEK protein is expressed in bladder tumor tissue and voided urine of bladder cancer patients. The presence of DEK protein in voided urine is potentially a suitable biomarker for bladder cancer and that the screening for the presence of DEK protein in urine can be explored as a noninvasive diagnostic test for bladder cancer.</p
