К вопросу о судебной неустойке в административном судопроизводстве

The article is devoted to the problem of enforceability of judicial acts on public-law disputes, including those related to the imposition upon an administrative body or an official of the duty to exercise discretionary power. The author refers to the origins of this problem and comes to the conclusion that the measure of compulsion of administrative defendants to execute judicial acts should be indirect. Based on the analysis of available public law mechanisms of indirect coercion to the execution of a judicial act, the author points out that they either cannot be characterised as effective, or are disproportionate to the goal, and proposes a solution to the problem by introducing the mechanism of judicial forfeiture in the Code of Administrative Proceedings. The author notes that initially the legislator did not intend to extend it to cases of non-fulfillment of judicial acts on public law disputes, but the approach developed later in judicial practice, which allows the award of judicial forfeiture on certain public law disputes considered by arbitrazh courts, dictates the need to expand the scope of application of judicial forfeiture to cases of failure to fulfil any judicial decision on disputes arising from public legal relations, since there are no objective differences between them.

The barriers and challenges of using health information technology in medication administration process for pediatrics and neonates: A qualitative study.

Children and neonates are more susceptible to diseases and are a vulnerable group in medication administration (MA). Nurses interact directly with patients, ensuring safety and preventing unintended outcomes. Health Information Technology (HIT) has transformed health care, aiding nurses in decision-making and treatment responses. Despite its benefits, technology presents challenges that must be overcome to facilitate the nursing practice. Therefore, the present study aimed to explore the barriers to HIT use in the process of MA in children and neonates in a developing country. Semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted with 22 health care professionals across seven pediatric and neonatal settings. Also, observations were made of these settings for 3 weeks. A qualitative analysis was performed using the conventional content analysis method, recommended by Colaizzi's seven-step approach. The results showed that the most significant barriers to adopting technology in MA process could be classified into two main categories: "inappropriate management approaches" with two sub-categories ("Managers' reluctance to adopt new technology", "lack of adequate budget for hardware resources"), and "resistance to change" with two sub-categories ("A desire to use conventional (traditional) approaches in care","cultural issues and impracticality of providing some specialized technology services"). The findings revealed MA process complexities, which have been insufficiently examined in the current literature. We have highlighted the need for improved "effectiveness of HIT systems in administering medication processes, budget for hardware resources, and managers" interest in using new technology. The present findings can guide the development of more effective and user-friendly HIT systems in pediatric and neonatal care settings.

The potential for drug incompatibility and its drivers − A hospital wide retrospective descriptive study

ObjectiveDrug incompatibility, a significant subset of medication errors, threaten patient safety during the medication administration phase. Despite the undeniably high prevalence of drug incompatibility, it is currently poorly understood because previous studies are focused predominantly on intensive care unit (ICU) settings. To enhance patient safety, it is crucial to expand our understanding of this issue from a comprehensive viewpoint. This study aims to investigate the prevalence and mechanism of drug incompatibility by analysing hospital-wide prescription and administration data. MethodsThis retrospective cross-sectional study, conducted at a tertiary academic hospital, included data extracted from the clinical data warehouse of the study institution on patients admitted between January 1, 2021, and May 31, 2021. Potential contacts in drug pairs (PCs) were identified using the study site clinical workflow. Drug incompatibility for each PC was determined by using a commercial drug incompatibility database, the Trissel’s™ 2 Clinical Pharmaceutics Database (Trissel’s 2 database). Drivers of drug incompatibility were identified, based on a descriptive analysis, after which, multivariate logistic regression was conducted to assess the risk factors for experiencing one or more drug incompatibilities during admission. ResultsAmong 30,359 patients (representing 40,061 hospitalisations), 24,270 patients (32,912 hospitalisations) with 764,501 drug prescriptions (1,001,685 IV administrations) were analysed, after checking for eligibility. Based on the rule for determining PCs, 5,813,794 cases of PCs were identified. Among these, 25,108 (0.4 %) cases were incompatible PCs: 391 (1.6 %) PCs occurred during the prescription process and 24,717 (98.4 %) PCs during the administration process. By classifying these results, we identified the following drivers contributing to drug incompatibility: incorrect order factor; incorrect administration factor; and lack of related research. In multivariate analysis, the risk of encountering incompatible PCs was higher for patients who were male, older, with longer lengths of stay, with higher comorbidity, and admitted to medical ICUs. ConclusionsWe comprehensively described the current state of drug incompatibility by analysing hospital-wide drug prescription and administration data. The results showed that drug incompatibility frequently occurs in clinical settings.

E-Governance and Social Media in Terms of Governance Processes

The main purpose of this study is to reveal that the governance process opens the doors of paradigm change in terms of overcoming the limitations of traditional bureaucracy in citizen participation in local administrative processes through e-governance and social media platforms developed on the basis of information and communication technologies.

Perceived Unfairness in University Settings: Findings from a Qualitative Study among Students in Germany

In universities, perceived unfairness is associated with negative outcomes, such as dissatisfaction, lower engagement, higher drop-out and stress, and poorer mental health. It is, however, still unclear which aspects constitute perceived unfairness in students. Therefore, this qualitative study explored students’ perceptions of unfairness with twenty semi-structured interviews. The interviews were audiotaped, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed following Mayring’s qualitative content analysis. A set of main codes and subcodes was developed and refined. The identified sources of unfairness can be summarized as organizational aspects, such as the registration and administration processes, the treatment of students, including the behavioural patterns of lecturers and university staff, and the individual situation of students. This study identified different sources of perceived unfairness in the university setting, potentially related to less engagement, higher drop-out rates, and worse mental health of the students. To keep students engaged and healthy, it seems beneficial to address the sources of unfairness.

The plaintiff's right to withdraw from the lawsuit as an implementation of the principle of dispositiveness in administrative proceedings

The article is devoted to the study of the problems of the plaintiff's implementation of the right to withdraw from the lawsuit in the administrative proceedings of Ukraine. The right to legal protection, in addition to exercising the right to appeal to the court with a claim, should include the possibility for it to initiate the termination of the legal process. It was established that the plaintiff's right to withdraw from the lawsuit is both an implementation of the principle of dispositiveness in the administrative process and a procedural action designed to stop the started process. The peculiarities of the implementation of the right to refuse a lawsuit of persons who apply for the protection of their rights to the court through the mechanisms of application of the principle of dispositiveness, which reveals the material aspect of the investigated right, are analyzed. Through the classification of the conditions and features of the exercise of the right to refuse a lawsuit, the features of the exercise of this right in administrative proceedings have been investigated. The plaintiff, unlike other participants in the case, has the largest amount of rights, and the freedom to dispose of them gives the opportunity to influence the development of the administrative process, using the normative provisions of the procedural law and the tools for its implementation provided by it. The ability to freely dispose of one's rights at all stages of judicial protection with the help of procedural tools reveals the procedural and legal aspect of the right to refuse a lawsuit. Giving a person the freedom to dispose of his rights allows the plaintiff at certain stages of the process not only to change his legal position in court by changing the subject and grounds of the claim, increasing or decreasing the size of the claims, to use the right to conciliation of the parties, but also to initiate the termination of the process by withdrawing the claim statement, leaving the claim without consideration or abandoning the claim altogether. The lack of substantive scientific works on these problems determines the importance of research on the implementation of rights and obligations by the plaintiff in administrative proceedings as an effective tool for the plaintiff to dispose of his procedural rights in order to terminate the initiated legal process. Key words: public-legal relations, administrative dispute, plaintiff, claim, claim, administrative proceedings, principle of dispositiveness, refusal of claim

ANALYSIS OF FACTORS INFLUENCING INTENTION IN USING ACCOUNTING INFORMATION SYSTEMS FOR REVENUE AND ZAKAT MANAGEMENT BY MICRO, SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES IN E-COMMERCE

Accounting information systems (AISs) have become indispensable enterprise management tools, serving as a vital resource for promoting administrative and financial processes, facilitating decision-making, and improving overall performance. Apart from business, AISs can also be developed as zakat for sharia. In this regard, AIS plays a role in calculating zakat, making zakat payment decisions, and assisting managers in zakat allocation. This function is very beneficial for business actors, especially MSME actors. The existence of AISs can make it easier for MSMEs to manage their revenue and zakat. So, MSMEs need to be able to adopt AISs. Unfortunately, research regarding the acceptability of AIS adoption for MSMEs has not yet been conducted. Therefore, this research examines the factors of acceptance of AISs by e-commerce actors from MSMEs. By using the elements in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), such as Perceived ease of use (PEU) and perceived usefulness (PU) through quantitative methods and Partial Least Square Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) analysis, the results of data analysis in this study show that the influence of PEU and PU on IUAISs is positive and significant. This shows that IUAISs are influenced by two main variables from TAM (PEU and PU). Based on the results, this study implies that MSMEs that successfully adopt Accounting Information Systems (AISs) for revenue and zakat management can improve their administrative and financial efficiency, emphasizing the importance of understanding the factors influencing AIS acceptance among MSMEs.
