Key aspects of real estate taxation: global experience and prospects for reform in Ukraine

Introduction. Socio-economic transformations affect a significant number of aspects of life in Ukraine. The development of regions and the country in general depends primarily on resources, which, it's no secret, are mostly obtained from taxes. Real estate taxation is a significant source of financing needs in many developed countries of the world. However, the share of those revenues provided by real estate tax is much lower compared to other countries. The purpose of the paper is to study and analyze the global experience of real estate taxation and determining the prospects for tax reform in Ukraine in this direction. Results. Several aspects of the expediency of real estate tax collection are considered. The world experience of real estate taxation is considered, which indicates the presence of a system of benefits in almost every country, taking into account the possible burden for certain categories of persons. Certain positive aspects of this type of taxes are singled out based on the world experience of taxation of real estate objects. The real estate tax plays a significant role in filling the country's local budgets, taking this into account, we can say that Ukraine has the prerequisites and prerequisites for increasing the value of the mentioned tax. Therefore, on the basis of the above, it is possible to single out certain advantages of real estate taxes in accordance with international and domestic taxation experience. Conclusion. Real estate taxation is a promising area of reforming the taxation system, so this process cannot be postponed. The world experience of real estate tax administration is valuable for Ukraine, where this process is at the stage of formation and development, in particular, adapting to domestic realities, one should not focus on the tax experience of a specific country, but it is necessary to borrow the best moments to develop a special and suitable taxation system.

School Culture Types as Predictors of School Leadership Capacity

The purpose of this study is to determine the role of school culture types on perceived school leadership capacity. The study group of this research, consisted of 483 teachers. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data and Pearson Correlation Coefficients were calculated to determine the relationships between variables. Hierarchical regression analysis was performed to determine how administrative experience and each of the school culture types played a role on school leadership capacity. Findings showed that the most dominant culture type in schools was task culture and the least dominant culture type was bureaucratic culture. The hierarchical regression results showed that the status of having been a manager was a significant predictor of the perception of school leadership capacity. However, it was concluded that achievement culture and support culture were significant predictors of school leadership capacity perception, but task and bureaucratic cultures were not significant predictors. Moreover, it was found that support culture alone and together with achievement culture played a positive role on school leadership capacity, but with the addition of task and bureaucratic culture characteristics to the regression analysis, the effect of support culture on leadership capacity lost its meaning. Based on the results, various suggestions were developed.

The goals of land use optimization in Russia

The land reform of the 1990s created certain economic and environmental prerequisites for efficient land use. However, they are not implemented due to the complete liberalization of the market and the disengagement of the State from land management, the termination of state land administration. Adjustment of the economic course and strategic planning are considered as the initial condition for land use rationalization and further transformations. As a planning tool, it is proposed to implement regional models of agro-industrial production in development of previously used agricultural management systems based on the development of regional GIS for agroecological land assessment and projecting of adaptive landscape farming systems in M 1 : 100 000. For this purpose, a system of integrated land assessment has been developed, and the experience of land administration projecting, landscape planning, and projecting of adaptive landscape farming systems has been generalized. On the basis of its integration, it is planned to develop new land administration on a landscape basis, and, subsequently, agricultural landscapes projecting.

Qualitative Development of the Allergan Satisfaction with Treatment Experience Questionnaire (ASTEQ) Instrument, a Patient-Reported Outcome Measure in Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension.

Sustained-release intraocular implants provide a therapeutic option for open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and ocular hypertension (OHT) patients who are non-compliant with eyedrops. Currently, there are no published patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures that assess treatment satisfaction with intraocular implants. To address this gap, a new PRO instrument, the Allergan Satisfaction with Treatment Experience Questionnaire (ASTEQ), has been developed in accordance with Food and Drug Administration guidance. Qualitative research interviews were conducted among patients with OAG/OHT who had received three intraocular injections of a sustained-release bimatoprost (10 or 15µg) implant within the clinical trial setting. A preliminary conceptual framework capturing treatment satisfaction concepts in glaucoma, as identified from the literature, was used to develop a semi-structured interview guide. A concept elicitation (CE) interview to identify aspects of the glaucoma treatment experience pertinent to intraocular implants provided content for a draft instrument. A cognitive debriefing (CD) interview to test the instrument's interpretability, relevance, and validity informed its subsequent refinement. Interview analysis followed a grounded theory approach to identify data patterns and relationships. CE interviews (n = 19) indicated that participants' main considerations in rating satisfaction with implant treatment were physical comfort during preparation for the implant and implant administration, anxiety about the procedure, frequency of implant administration, possible side effects, convenience and accessibility of the implant, relationship with the clinician, and lifestyle fit. Draft ASTEQ revision based on CD interviews (n = 20) and readability tests yielded a nine-item ASTEQ instrument comprising satisfaction with overall implant experience and frequency of administration, occurrence/bother of immediate and long-term side effects, worry about implant administration and possible risks/side effects, and physical discomfort during preparation for the implant and implant administration. The ASTEQ instrument has demonstrated content validity in patients with OAG/OHT treated with a sustained-release bimatoprost implant. Further research is necessary to evaluate its psychometric properties.

Privatization of Medical Services and Revenue Development Project: A Cross-Sectional Survey of Staff Perceptions at the University of Jeddah Medical Center.

This study aimed to assess the perceptions of staff working at the University of Jeddah (UJ) Medical Center on the possibility of finding new financing methods for the administration and privatization of the primary and specialized medical care services it provides. A questionnaire link was sent online targeting all staff at the UJ Medical Center (n = 141). The questionnaire comprised 17 items under the following sections: demographic information, staff perceptions about the current status of the services provided by the UJ Medical Center and the possibility of finding new financing methods and additional sources of revenue for the administration. Of the 101 questionnaires returned, the majority were filled by males (n = 71; 70.3%). One-third of the participants (n = 39; 38.6%) have between 5 and 9 years of working experience in Medical Administration, and most of them (n = 42; 41.6%) reported that they have a background in the concept of revenue development/privatization/self-resources/paid treatment. Most were satisfied with the current status of the services provided (average rating = 3.39/5). However, most participants (n = 72; 71.3%) reported that the UJ Medical Center is not ready for the Revenue Development Project of privatization. The survey respondents demonstrated satisfaction with the medical services provided by the UJ Medical Center and the potential application of the Revenue Development Project. However, streamlining the privatization process according to the governmental structures is crucial for it to be implemented properly at the UJ Medical Center.

Challenges of Health Care Administrators in India: Reference from Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh

Background: Since the last few decades, India's healthcare system has been on a progressive path, contributing to the country's increasing economy. It is one of the most important sectors in terms of employment, money, and infrastructure. With such quick expansion and progress, issues are bound in all parts of healthcare that are overseen by hospital managers. This study was conducted with the goal of determining the actual factor (independent/dependent) that influences the administrator's decision-making. This study assists in assessing the obstacles experienced by healthcare administrators in managing and operating hospitals on a daily basis, which will aid in determining strategies to overcome the challenges.
 Materials and Methods A survey of 142 hospital administrators and managers from 48 different healthcare facilities (references from Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh) was conducted. A systematic questionnaire was used to collect data in MS Excel. To determine the determinants influencing administrators for the quality of healthcare services offered by Indian healthcare organizations, exploratory in-depth individual and focus group interviews were conducted with 142 healthcare stakeholders, including healthcare providers, managers, policymakers, and payers. A Google-form questionnaire and a phone call were used to make contact.
 Results: The bulk of the subjects had more than ten years of hospital administration experience, and 69% held a Masters in hospital administration degree, with the remaining holding other management degrees.87% of respondents believe that managing change (e.g., procedure, method, compliance with standards for staff/team members) is one of the most difficult issues for administrators in any firm. 88% of respondents identified increased patient load, increased internet usage, patients' ability to influence their own health, and enhanced awareness as obstacles. 85.7% agreed that greater population health knowledge and expectations, as well as improved patient safety and quality implementation - NABH, JCI, etc. of the hospital, can be problematic. Providing quality treatment at the right time, in the right place, with adequate resources was also seen as a critical difficulty for administrators. The Chi square test (Chi square value 0.197646, p value-.00001) revealed that the observed distribution differed from the expected distribution. It is possible to conclude that there is a relationship between the category variables. Significant link between legislative and regulatory organizations with regard to licensing, renewals, and periodic audits with years of expertise of hospital administrators. Ordinal regression (stat: 0.602985) and R square (stat: 0.363591) indicate that more independent variables with a substantial association with dependent variables should be sought. There was no other significant relationship discovered. Spearman correlation (rs = 0.66262, p (2-tailed) = 0.03681) interprets a linear correlation between independent (categorical/ordinal variables) and dependent (continuous variables) witnesses a perfect correlation of rank, thus implying a direct relationship between the variables.
 Conclusion: This study shows that all hospital administrators working in various healthcare settings encounter considerable obstacles on a daily basis. As a result, it may have a direct impact on patient care quality and hospital economy. It must be addressed with particular solutions such as smarter financial standards, cost-effective ways, and the promotion of tech-enabled programmes in order to improve the patient community's access to quality health care. This study discovers and limits the field of future research by identifying additional variables that may have a substantial correlation between continuous and categorical variables that may better explain the issues.

Barriers and opportunities to supporting youth of color and LGBTQ + youth experiencing homelessness during COVID: A qualitative assessment

PurposeYouth homelessness is a major public health issue that impacts millions of youth across the United States, with a disproportionate impact on LGBTQ + youth and youth of color. This study engaged adults who work at youth-serving organizations (YSO) in New Britain, Connecticut to better understand the perspectives and experiences of administrators and frontline workers serving youth experiencing homelessness during the COVID-19 pandemic. MethodsPurposive sampling was used to recruit 19 key informants over the age of 18 years old. Key informant interviews were guided by a semi-structured guide to understand three areas of interests from the perspective of youth-serving personnel: (1) identified needs of youth experiencing homelessness; (2) organizational and community barriers to addressing identified needs, and (3) communal assets and needs to be better positioned to serve youth experiencing homelessness, with a particular emphasis on youth of color and LGBTQ + youth. Constant comparative method was subsequently applied to analyze qualitative findings. ResultsMajor themes that emerged from the key informant interviews included: homeless youth lacking access to needed mental health services and a trusted support network; youth-serving professionals not being adequately equipped to address the unique needs of LGBTQ + youth and youth of color experiencing homelessness, and; a need for a centralized referral system for connecting YSOs with each other. ConclusionThe key informant interviews were a valuable way to engage YSOs and better understand, from their perspective, the health and health-related social needs of youth, particularly youth of color and LGBTQ + youth, experiencing homelessness during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as potential policy and programmatic solutions for addressing these challenges.

Temperament types and Conflict Management Styles of School Heads in the Public Secondary Schools: An Explanatory Sequential Mixed Method Inquiry

Conflict is manageable when paired with reason and experience. Using explanatory sequential mixed-method, this study determined the extent of practice and explored the insights and experiences of school heads in conflict management styles. For the quantitative phase, frequency count, percentage distribution, mean, spearman rank correlation, and rank biserial were used. The results revealed that school heads generally practiced conflict management styles to a great extent. This means that the five conflict management styles were often observed by the school heads. Meanwhile, both temperament types and demographics do not influence conflict management styles which were also supported by the qualitative results through Lichtman's three Cs: coding, categorizing, and conceptualizing. Thus, in the practice of conflict management, school heads vary in terms of their perspectives, while reasons serve as guiding principles coupled with appropriate approaches. Moreover, it is the administrative experience that really matters in conflict management, not necessarily generational age, sex, and educational attainment. The findings suggest that reason and experience are essential factors of conflict management.

Physician and administrator experience of preparing to implement Ontario's intensive care unit Triage Emergency Standard of Care during the COVID-19 pandemic: a qualitative study.

As the COVID-19 pandemic created a surge in demand for critical care resources, the province of Ontario, Canada, released the Adult Critical Care Clinical Emergency Standard of Care for Major Surge (Emergency Standard of Care [ESoC]), a triage framework to guide the allocation of critical care resources in the expectation that intensive care units would be overwhelmed. Our aim was to understand physicians' and administrators' experiences and perceptions of planning to implement the ESoC, and to identify ways to improve critical care triage processes for future pandemics. We conducted semistructured qualitative interviews with critical care, emergency and internal medicine physicians, and hospital administrators from various Ontario health regions who were involved in their hospital's or region's ESoC implementation planning. Interviews were conducted virtually between April and October 2021. We analyzed the data using thematic analysis. We conducted interviews with 11 physicians and 10 hospital administrators representing 9 health regions. We identified 4 themes regarding participants' preparation to implement the ESoC: infrastructure to enable effective triage implementation; social, medical and political supports to enable effective triage implementation; moral dimensions of triage implementation; and communication of triage results. Participants outlined administrative and implementation-related improvements that could be provided at the provincial level, such as billing codes for ESoC. They also suggested improving ethical supports for the usability and quality of the ESoC (e.g., designating an ethicist in each region), and ways to improve the efficiency and usability of the tools for assessing short-term mortality risk (e.g., create information technology solutions such as a dashboard). The implementation of a jurisdiction-level triage framework poses moral challenges for a health care system, but it also requires dedicated infrastructure, as well as institutional supports. Lessons learned from Ontario's process to prepare for ESoC implementation, as well as participants' suggestions, can be used for planning for current and future pandemics.

Everyday administrative burdens and inequality

AbstractAdministrative burdens create costly experiences for citizens, especially disadvantaged groups. Research to date focuses on how burdens affect outcomes in specific policy contexts, thus little is known about cumulative experiences of burdens in everyday life and their distribution in society. This is the first study to document everyday administrative experiences, accounting for time and well‐being costs across 10 domains: tax, retirement, government benefits, bills, goods and services, savings, debt, health, child care, and adult care. Survey results from 2243 UK adults show that administrative tasks are a significant part of everyday life, with time and well‐being costs that vary by domain. Benefits‐related tasks are particularly costly. There is evidence of distributive effects. Those in poor health and financial insecurity are more likely to engage in salient tasks, such as benefits, but less likely to engage with longer‐term tasks including savings and retirement. They experience higher well‐being costs, especially during salient tasks.

FOREIGN EXPERIENCE OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION IN THE FIELD OF CULTURE

The article examines foreign approaches to public administration in the field of culture, including structures, mechanisms and policies that help ensure cultural development and strengthening of national identity. The study focuses on the systems of public administration in the field of culture in the European Union: Germany, Italy, France, and Spain. It has been found that all countries focus their efforts on protecting and promoting cultural heritage, supporting cultural projects and programs, developing cultural heritage­related tourism infrastructure, and preserving and promoting the diversity of cultural traditions and national identities. However, each country has its own peculiarities and specific tasks, such as supporting contemporary art and culture, preserving cultural traditions and minority languages, or developing tourism infrastructure. This comparative approach allows us to take into account the different cultural, historical, and political contexts in which public administration of culture is implemented. In addition, the study aims to examine international cooperation in the field of culture as one of the key factors in the development of cultural space and the expansion of intercultural dialogue. The article emphasizes that culture is a fundamental aspect of human society which reflects the spirituality of a nation and its historical roots. It is proved that the importance of public administration in the field of culture lies in the formation of strategies for the development of the cultural sphere, preservation of cultural heritage and ensuring access to cultural goods. In this context, foreign experience in public administration of culture can be an important source of information and inspiration for reforms in this area at the national level. Studying the experience of countries that actively cooperate in international cultural exchange will help to identify principles and practices that can contribute to the development of Ukraine’s cultural ties with other countries and international organizations. In general, the systems of public administration of culture in the countries under consideration have many similarities and differences, but they are all aimed at protecting and promoting cultural heritage and the diversity of cultural traditions, which is an important task in the modern world.

PUBLIC SCHOOL LEADERS’ LIVED EXPERIENCES ON 21ST CENTURY LEADERSHIP: A PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDY

It is recommended that staff having experience in educational administration may provide comprehensive and specific instructions for putting strategic leadership techniques into practice so to increase school performance.

Elevating subjective individual experience in public policy and public administration: Reflections on red tape, administrative burden, and sludge

AbstractIn this essay, I take stock of the red tape research program (and research programs on administrative burden and sludge) to assess whether subjective individual experience has been given its rightful due in public policy and public administration. My primary purpose is to assess how concepts facilitate or hinder our understanding of the subjective individual experience. To serve this purpose, I present a conceptual analysis strategy and elaborate on the value of interrogating the modularity assumption (fit between conceptualization and experience). I conclude by advocating for consilience across concepts and research programs to better capture the subjective individual experience.
