Orders and Disorders of Marriage, Church, and Empire in Mid-Nineteenth-Century Ottoman Armenia

AbstractThe Ottoman state and the Armenian Patriarchate of Constantinople during the mid-19th-century Tanzimat reform era relied on ethno-confessional and gendered differences, new administrative organization, and coercive institutions like the police to centralize and expand their power. Yet Armenian men and women used those same tools of power to seek justice in ways that created instances of disorder for their families, local community, the church, and the Ottoman state. Attending to the voices and experiences of Armenians through untapped petitions from Erzurum, Mush, and Van, this article highlights the ways in which provincial Armenians interacted with and navigated their diverse ethno-confessional milieus.

Healthcare network governance and accountability shaped by social capital

ABSTRACT Drawing on concepts from social capital theory, we examine how governance of a mandated public sector hospital network is implemented and the challenges the implementation poses for accountability and governance. Adopting a whole network perspective, we conduct a case study of one mandated hospital network in Ireland. Based on fifty-five semi-structured interviews, we demonstrate the co-existence of two different governance models: (1) the espoused officially sanctioned Network Administrative Organisation governance model, and (2) the actual governance model in operation which was more similar to a lead-organisation model. We provide theoretical insight into how complex governance arrangements emerge through the management of network tensions to prioritise particular poles of the tensions. Further, we analyse why the espoused NAO model was unable to respond to the accountability and governance challenges that arose. We identify how pre-existing bonding social capital between the “centralised network broker” (the Network Administrative Organisation) and the hub hospital limited the potential for social capital to expand from a private to a public good that could benefit the network as a whole. Our findings illustrate accountability and governance challenges in a mandated network and provide important insights for hospital managers and policy-makers by bringing to the fore the “dark side” of social capital and its ability to fragment broader collectivities, such as networks, in the name of local, particularistic identities. We draw attention to the importance of monitoring social capital development during network governance implementation and to how opposing poles of network tensions are managed. HIGHLIGHTS Different governance models can co-exist within mandated networks. These complex governance arrangements emerge through the management of network tensions to prioritise particular poles of the tensions. Pre-existing bonding social capital limits the expansion of social capital from a private to a public good within the network.

The effectiveness of early administration of antifibrotic therapy as a reflection of properly organized medical care for patients with progressive pulmonary fibrosis

The issues of organization of medical care and early administration of antifibrotic therapy in patients with progressive fibrotic phenotype require in-depth study and implementation in real clinical practice.The aim of this paper is to provide a rationale for the early administration of antifibrotic drugs in patients with various forms of interstitial lung disease.Results. The article addresses organizational issues in the medical care for interstitial lung disease with a progressive fibrotic phenotype. Topical epidemiological problems are also addressed, in particular the high mortality rate in this disease. The main risk factors of the disease are considered. Diagnostic markers for the fibrosis progression are analyzed. Data from large-scale studies on the early initiation of antifibrotic therapy and its effect on disease outcomes are presented.Conclusion. The main reasons for early initiation of therapy in a progressive fibrotic phenotype are presented: an unfavorable prognosis, an unpredictable course, a progressive decrease in forced vital capacity, and the association of changes in FVC with an increase in mortality. Using the Chelyabinsk region as an example, a model of care for patients with interstitial lung diseases is considered, with a brief analysis of the effectiveness of antifibrotic therapy, its early initiation and the impact on mortality in patients with this disease.

The leadership development model influencing drug prevention management and performance of schools under the local administrative organization

This study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative research methodologies to investigate the dynamics of leadership, management, and performance in the context of drug prevention within schools under local administrative organizations. The research pursues three main objectives: (1) to examine the key elements of leadership, management, and performance related to drug prevention in these educational institutions, (2) to analyze the direct, indirect, and combined influences of leadership on the management and performance of drug prevention efforts, and (3) to formulate policy recommendations for influential leadership development models tailored to enhance the management and performance of drug prevention initiatives. Quantitative data were collected from 400 personnel within educational institutes under the Sisaket Local Administrative Organization, utilizing stratified random sampling and a questionnaire with a high-reliability score of 0.978. Concurrently, qualitative insights were from 12 purposively selected educational institutes in the same administrative context through the focused group. The analytical toolkit included frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, structural equation analysis, and content analysis. Key findings indicate the appropriateness of utilizing trait-based, behavior-based, and situational leadership alongside Principles of management to construct a comprehensive structural equation model. The performance emerges as primarily influenced by Principles of management, all statistically significant at 0.01 level. In terms of policy suggestions, the focus centers on fostering a knowledgeable and collaborative team, developing leadership skills through cooperation, and creating an organizational culture that supports learning and development. This integrated leadership development approach is the picture to significantly impact the effective management and prevention of drug abuse in schools under local administrative organizations.

Deaf education in Portugal and Brazil in the nineteenth century: Similarities and differences

ABSTRACT Deaf education officially began in Portugal in 1823, with Pedro Aron Borg, at the invitation of D. João VI and his daughter, D. Isabel. In Brazil, it began in 1857, when Édouard Adolfo Huet Merlo founded the first institution, with the consent of D. Pedro II. The Royal Institute for the Deaf-Mute and the Blind in Lisbon and the Imperial Institute for Deaf-Mutes in Rio de Janeiro shared the objective to promote the intellectual and professional development of deaf students. This study intends to identify similarities and differences in pedagogical proposals of the first deaf education institutions in the two countries during the nineteenth century. The study presents a documentary investigation that follows a qualitative approach. The research findings concluded that there were significant differences in how deaf education originated in Portugal and Brazil, and in their approaches to language acquisition. Nevertheless, there were many common aspects, including the administrative organisation of the institutes, the pedagogical proposal design, and the appointment of former students as specialised tutors of younger deaf students. In both countries, the main purpose of the schools was to prepare deaf students for adulthood through professional training.

ВЛИЯНИЕ ИНФОРМАЦИОННЫХ ТЕХНОЛОГИЙ НА ГОСУДАРСТВЕННОЕ УПРАВЛЕНИЕ

Social informatization is the main trend of modern society, which is the driving force behind the modernization of public administration. The development of information technology has a profound impact on the elements and processes of public administration, such as administrative personnel, administrative decisionmaking, administrative organizations, administrative methods, administrative documents and models of public administration.

ВЛИЯНИЕ СОВРЕМЕННЫХ ИНФОРМАЦИОННЫХ ТЕХНОЛОГИЙ НА РАЗВИТИЕ ГОСУДАРСТВЕННОГО УПРАВЛЕНИЯ

In the information age, information technologies are the most basic and widespread technical means. Information technology will inevitably be widely used in all areas and aspects of human social life, and the sphere of public administration is no exception. Currently, we are at the initial stage of information technology development in public administration. It is very important for us to predict the reasonable form of changes caused by information technologies in the field of public administration. Informatization is the main trend of modern society, which is the force of the process of modernization of public administration. The development of information technology has a profound impact on the elements and processes of public administration, such as administrative personnel, administrative decision-making, administrative organizations, administrative methods, administrative documents and models of public administration.

Борьба с беспризорностью несовершеннолетних в Енисейской губернии в контексте деятельности Комиссии по улучшению жизни детей. 1921 г.

Early years of the Soviet regime were a period of implementation of the ideological doctrine that stated that children welfare should be the exclusive remit of the State. The study of the entire range of solutions for the so called children’s problem in early Soviet state requires involvement of multiple kinds of sources. The object of our interest was the report of Robert Krishyanovich Lepsis (1896–1942), a representative of Yenisseyskii Provincial Executive Committee on the Improvement of Children’s Lives, about the condition of childcare facilities by July 1921. The report was prepared for the Commission for the Improvement of Children’s Lives under the All-Russian Central Executive Committee. The document included into the publication was identified as part of Fund P-93 “Department of National Education of the Yenisseyskii Provincial Executive Committee” in State Archive of Krasnoyarsk Territory. The document is reliable and informative; it provides details of geographical location and regional aspects of formation and activities of Soviet machinery during its establishment. The document also gives an idea of searching for humane mechanisms to eliminate juvenile homelessness. We failed to find papers that would highlight organization and initial steps of the Commission for the Improvement of Children’s Lives in Yenisseyskaya Province. The published document the data on the condition and supply of orphanages and shelters in Yenisseyskaya Province; it evaluates the activities of the representatives for the improvement of children’s lives and mechanisms of solution for the problem of juvenile homelessness. The author of the report does not hide the fact that the problems of homeless and neglected children are not a priority in the activities of all the Soviet institutions or administrative organizations. However, due to his being at the same time a Chairman of the Provincial Extraordinary Commission, he manages to solve some urgent issues of childcare facilities. We applied diachronic method to analyze information from the source. As a result we came to a conclusion that they did not manage to change the situation with children’s homelessness in Yenisseyskaya Province radically by July 1921. But a process of introduction of newly formed Soviet institutions into the solution of the above mentioned problem started. Due to the lack of financial and material resources, as well as poor staffing, orphanages and shelters were in poverty. They did not properly solve the educational tasks assigned to them, but at least they served as feeding stations where one could survive in the midst of destruction and famine. The information from the source may be of interest to those who study Soviet society, forms and practical activities of addressing the problems of children’s homelessness.

Instrumental and methodological approaches to the assessment of franchising in regional entrepreneurship

The study of instrumental and methodological approaches to the assessment of franchising in business strategy involves the identification of optimal franchises that make the franchising mechanism effective in regional entrepreneurship. Franchising should be considered as an effective tool for the development of regional entrepreneurship. The regions of Russia have different industry specifics, administrative organization, as well as social and cultural peculiarities. The franchise model in regional entrepreneurship will allow for deep processing of production resources, as well as reduce the cost of supporting the network, taking into account the characteristics of each region.

The health of the population of the region as a systemic object of sociological analysis (results of the pilot study)

The purpose of the study was to identify and study the systemic links between the basic factors of health and mortality in Russian regions based on correlation analysis methods, i.e., to study the relationship between health, morbidity and mortality. The object of the study was the regions of the Central Federal District (16 regions). The choice of this district as an object of study is due, firstly, to the significant population of Russians living in them. Secondly, in the regions of this district, a significant number of social relations significant for the health of the entire Russian society are collectively represented. Thirdly, numerous statistical and scientific research data have been accumulated on the state of health, diseases and mortality in these regions. The subject of the study is to identify the degree of influence of both objective and subjective factors of health, morbidity and mortality in the regions. The article shows that the understanding of the category of health in sociology has gone through several stages of understanding the category: as a combination of intrapersonal physiological and mental phenomena; as a complex of bodily, social and natural living conditions; as a systemic object of research, understood as a result of the interaction of individual and social factors. The results of studies in which health is analyzed as a systemic object of study, as well as the principles of an approach to the study of health as a systemic education, are summarized. The obtained data of the theoretical part of the study were tested in a pilot study, during which, based on correlation analysis, a significant relationship between social factors of health formation, disease prevention and mortality was confirmed. The conclusions of the pilot study showed the expediency of a systematic approach to the analysis and diagnosis of regional health, both in theoretical developments of the problem and in management activities to promote health. The use of the results of the pilot study is relevant for the development of regional health research problems, as well as for the organization of health diagnostics in the activities of administrative and managerial health management organizations.

Culinary Storytelling About the Local Cuisine of Phitsanulok, Thailand

Culinary tourism is part of cultural capital that could generate income for local communities if well developed. Persuasive media, presented in various ways, plays a vital role in this development. The objective of this research, to create media with interesting and informative content to persuade foreign tourists to explore local Phitsanulok cuisine. This information was in-depth interviews that were conducted with 32 government tourism officials, 9 Chief Executives of the Sub-district Administrative Organization, 2 French nationals who were qualified chefs, and other foreigners resident in the Province. The second stage included the design and production plans for media to be developed highlighting and presenting local cuisine from each of the nine districts. The planned media was refined under the theme “Phitsanulok, a culinary delight.” This process included two French nationals who were residents in the Province who had created a unique genre of Thai Chinese fusion food. The media were focused on storytelling by these and other residents who were local participants in the culinary scene in Phitsanulok Province, intending to provide a first-hand account of the local traditional cuisine, and the enhanced genre provided by the French chefs. These stories were evaluated by 7 academicians, 3 media experts, and 3 tourism entrepreneurs, also taking into account feedback and responses from 275 social network users. This showed that Phitsanulok has the potential to be developed into a cultural city, scoring 8.13 based on the UNESCO City of Gastronomy project accreditation guidelines.

South East Asian Nutrition Surveys (SEANUTS) II - a multi-country evaluation of nutrition and lifestyle indicators in children aged 12 years and below: rationale and design.

To assess the nutritional status, growth parameters and lifestyle behaviours of children between 0·5 and 12 years in nationally representative samples in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam. A cross-sectional study was conducted in the four countries, between May 2019 and April 2021. Data collected can be categorised into four categories: (1) Growth - anthropometry, body composition, development disorder, (2) nutrient intake and dietary habits - 24-h dietary recall, child food habits, breast-feeding and complementary feeding, (3) socio-economic status - food insecurity and child health status/environmental and (4) lifestyle behaviours - physical activity patterns, fitness, sunlight exposure, sleep patterns, body image and behavioural problems. Blood samples were also collected for biochemical and metabolomic analyses. With the pandemic emerging during the study, a COVID-19 questionnaire was developed and implemented. Both rural and urban areas in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam. Children who were well, with no physical disability or serious infections/injuries and between the age of 0·5 and 12 years old, were recruited. The South East Asian Nutrition Surveys II recruited 13933 children. Depending on the country, data collection from children was conducted in schools and commune health centres, or temples, or sub-district administrative organisations. The results will provide up-to-date insights into nutritional status and lifestyle behaviours of children in the four countries. Subsequently, these data will facilitate exploration of potential gaps in dietary intake among Southeast Asian children and enable local authorities to plan future nutrition and lifestyle intervention strategies.

The role of the administrative decentralization system in realizing the health of the administrative system

In recent decades, many nation-states have sought to design or reform their systems for delegating and devolving authority to their local units. Decentralization is an interdisciplinary topic that intersects with law, political science, and public administration. Iran, following and emulating prevalent international models—most notably the successful French model of decentralization—has attempted to delegate administrative, political, and legislative powers, or more precisely "empowerment," in many local matters to local units such as councils. Despite numerous challenges, including ethnic nationalism and governmental policies, some successes have been achieved. One of these achievements, which is the primary focus of the present article, is combating administrative corruption. This article, using a descriptive-analytical method and through the study and review of various sources, aims to explain the aforementioned approach to decentralization and the administrative decentralization system as an optimal model of local democracy in combating corruption and enhancing the integrity of the administrative system. Thus, the main question of this research is: What impact does the administrative decentralization system, as an optimal model of local democracy, have on combating corruption and enhancing the integrity of the administrative system? Considering various dimensions of the issue and emphasizing the multiple ambiguities highlighted by the author, including structural and competency barriers, the lack of formulated executive principles, and challenges related to the central government's oversight of local governments, the findings of this study indicate that the administrative decentralization system, by reducing the size of administrative organizations, on one hand, reduces opportunities for corruption and, on the other hand, clarifies responsibilities and aligns the administrative system with the intended tasks. These factors facilitate the processes of control, oversight, and inspection, thereby enhancing the integrity of the administrative system.

Second Preliminary Report on the Town of Kom Ombo (2019-2021)

This article presents the results of five seasons of excavation and study at the townsite of Kom Ombo in Upper Egypt. The work, carried out by the Cairo branch of the Austrian Archaeological Institute (ÖAI), has concentrated on remains of the Old Kingdom and First Intermediate Period. From the latter, an exceptionally well-preserved building containing numerous round silos, perhaps for grain, and a further building to its south provide evidence for large-scale administrative organisation. To the north lay a cemetery dating from the Old Kingdom into the First Intermediate Period, which overlay occupation levels dating from the later 2nd into the earlier 5th Dynasty. Artefacts associated with these structures—pottery, stamped sealings including examples with royal names, and stone tools—are discussed. Finally, results from cleaning surface features of Roman and later date at the south end of the Kom Ombo tell are described.

공존과 융합을 지향하는 실용적 국가행정조직법제의 개선

In-depth research on administrative organization from the perspective of administrative law has not been sufficiently conducted so far. In a situation where social problems are becoming more complex and diverse, and the risks and uncertainties inherent therein are increasing, it is necessary to study from a legal perspective on the appropriate administrative organization to respond to the situation. Among the many topics that can be studied in relation to that study, legal research on administrative operations involving multiple administrative agencies is particularly necessary because it can serve as a starting point for understanding the reality of frequent interactions within public administration and preventing and resolving disputes between administrative agencies. This paper is a broad-brush study of administrative operations related to multiple administrative agencies. This paper focuses on the relationship between multiple central administrative organizations while leaving the relationship with local administrative organizations as a future research topic. First, this paper reviews the current status of laws and systems premised on administrative operations related to multiple central administrative agencies. Next, it reviews republicanism as an administrative organization principle for realizing appropriate administrative purposes of multiple central administrative agencies, and coexistence and convergence as its central values. Finally, based on the results of such review, this paper presents practical ways to improve the central administrative organization legal system, aiming for and realizing the coexistence and convergence of multiple central administrative agencies.

农村进城务工妇女的就业困境改善研究

The employment dilemma of urban migrant women is not only related to their individual happiness, sense of achievement, and satisfaction, but also to the happiness and happiness of countless families behind them. Using questionnaire surveys and in-depth interviews, this study analyzed the employment difficulties faced by rural migrant women in C Village, Guandu District, Kunming City. It was found that migrant women face many urgent challenges that need to be addressed: susceptibility to illegal infringement by the opposite sex, low economic income with a single source, high psychological pressure and mental emptiness, and low overall level of social integration. Their predicament is related to their marital status, education level, social status, and social importance. In order to create a socialist harmonious society and alleviate the survival pressure of migrant women, by improving relevant laws and regulations, various government departments, social organizations, enterprises and institutions, women’s federations, and social administrative organizations should strengthen cooperation, adopt departmental cooperation and comprehensive governance measures, alleviate the pressure on migrant populations, and promote the improvement of employment difficulties for rural migrant women.

Involvement of students of agricultural universities in physical education based on their needs in motion activity

The article examines the issue of involving students of agricultural universities in physical education, taking into account their needs in physical activity. Important aspects of this process are analyzed, including individual needs and interests of students, creating favorable conditions for physical activity, monitoring and supporting students in their physical activity, as well as cooperation between the university administration and student organizations. The article aims to study the formation of students' motivation to engage in physical education based on taking into account their needs in motor activity. The analysis and generalization of literary data, methods of pedagogical observation, surveys, and a pedagogical experiment were used in the research. 180 students of the 1st and 2nd years took part in the experiment, who were divided into a control group, where they were engaged in physical education according to the system of the general program, and an experimental group, in which physical education classes were conducted with students based on taking into account their needs in motor activity. The motivational and value attitude of students towards physical education classes was determined and the following components were identified: motor, emotional-volitional and cognitive. The criteria for evaluating the development of the motor component was the level of development of physical qualities; emotional-volitional - students' satisfaction with physical education classes; cognitive - manifestation of activity and interest in regular physical education classes. Work with students in the experimental group changed their attitude to physical education. Together with the motivational and value components of the attitude, the levels of students' needs in motor activity were determined: passive-negative; indifferently unstable; positively stable. In the course of the study, it was established that the conduct of classes taking into account the needs of students in motor activity positively changed their attitude to physical education and sports, and attendance at classes improved.
