Performance Evaluation Method of Public Administration Department Based on Improved DEA Algorithm.

This paper proposes a performance evaluation method of public administration departments based on the improved DEA algorithm, which solves the quality problem of performance evaluation of public administration departments and lays a foundation for the long-term development and performance improvement of public administration departments. The DEA model is the core to sort out the performance evaluation methods of public administration departments. From the perspective of DEA algorithm, whether DEA is effective is an important content that public administration departments must consider when carrying out performance administration, and public service satisfaction is the core parameter obtained by DEA algorithm. That is to say, by optimizing public services and improving service satisfaction, the public administration department can further improve the quality of performance evaluation. Therefore, we can carry out performance evaluation of public administration departments from the satisfaction of public services. The empirical research conclusion shows that according to the effective judgment theorem of DEA, it can be concluded that among the eight social security departments, there are five departments that can achieve DEA effectiveness, namely department 2, department 3, department 4, department 5, and department 6. There are three non-DEA valid ones, namely, department 1, department 7 and department 8. The public satisfaction and the total service cost will affect the performance quality to a certain extent, and only by balancing various influencing factors can the performance evaluation quality of the public administration department be maximized.

10 - Interrogating the Cost of Digital Technology and Trust in Elections in Africa: The Nigerian Perspective


 
 
 The adoption of technology in electoral democracy in Africa has been on the increase. The introduction of technology has its positive consideration but it also comes with cost and trust implications, which is a paradox. This study is a descriptive work which made use of both qualitative and quantitative analysis. Electionadministrationtheorywasadopted.Toimproveontheuseofdigital technologies, Africans should be mindful of the failure of digital checks and balances that often render an electoral process even more vulnerable to rigging than it was before. In designing new systems for election management, this article argues that Africans should look inward and integrate the new technologies into relevant environmental and cultural settings in order to reduce the cost while improving on the trust of electorates.

Sosyal Dışlanmanın İşsizlik ve Siyasal Katılım İlişkisinin Ortaya Konulmasına Dair Bir Araştırma: Ardahan Üniversitesi İİBF Öğrencileri Örneği

Genel anlamda sosyal dışlanma; bireylerin ekonomik, sosyal, siyasal ve kültürel yaşama tam olarak katılamadığı bir durumu ve aynı zamanda bu durumu sürdüren süreç olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Sosyal dışlanmanın boyutlarını; siyasal, ekonomik ve sosyal boyut altında ele almak mümkündür. Sosyal dışlanma çok boyutlu bir kavram olmasına rağmen, işsizlikle beraber toplumda daha görünür hale gelmektedir. Bu çalışmada gençlerin sosyal dışlanma, işsizlik, sosyo-ekonomik durum ve siyasal katılım hakkındaki görüş ve farkındalıklarının ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Ardahan Üniversitesi İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler Fakültesi Siyaset Bilimi ve Kamu Yönetimi ile İktisat Bölümü dördüncü sınıfta öğrenim gören öğrencilerle 2018-2019 Eğitim Öğrenim döneminde yapılan alan çalışmasında nicel araştırma yöntemi veri toplama tekniklerinden anket uygulamasına gidilmiştir. Araştırmaya 110 öğrenci katılmış olup veriler, SPSS 20.0 paket programıyla çözümlenmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda, işsizliğin sosyal dışlanmaya yol açtığı ve öğrencilerin işsizliğin çözümünde siyasal kurumlara güvenmedikleri ortaya konulmuştur. Bu sonuca ilaveten öğrencilerin işsizlik nedeniyle karşılaşacakları gelir yoksunluğunun sosyal dışlanmaya neden olacağı ve aynı zamanda işsizlik kaygısının psikolojik ve sosyo-ekonomik sonuçlar doğuracağı anlaşılmıştır. İşsizliğin yol açtığı sosyal dışlanma ve siyasi kurumlara güvenin azalmasına çözüm olarak, sosyal içerme kavramı ve refahı artıran sosyal politika önlemlerinin oluşturulması önerisinde bulunulmuştur.

Sustainable Development Education in Public Administration Graduate Programs: The Cases of Pamukkale and Niğde Ömer Halisdemir Universities

Adaptation of environmental literacy awareness to the education system and reflection of interest and attitude towards the environment in behavior is a critical element in order to ensure sustainable development. Turkey's interest in the environment and sustainable development began to increase at the end of the 20th century. Unfortunately, the reflection of this interest in the education system has not been at the desired level. The foremost aim of the study is to measure the level of consciousness and awareness about sustainable development of the students who are in the master's programs of the department of public administration. As a sample, students studying in the relevant field between 2018-2020 at Pamukkale University and Niğde Ömer Halisdemir University Social Sciences Institute were selected. In this study, where the qualitative method was preferred, the data of 20 students who provided feedback to the 11-expression interview form were analyzed using the word cloud method. It was concluded that the participants began to examine the relationship between the environmental factor and sustainable development, understood the importance of sustainable development for future generations, but could not adequately reflect the consciousness and awareness they had achieved in their behavior.

Background: Maternal mortality (MM) has been described as a critical problem of global dimension. In 2017 alone, according to a report by the World Health Organization in collaboration with its partners (WHO et al. 2019), MM is estimated to have claimed the lives of 295,000 women worldwide. Considering this concern, the University of Southern Somalia’s faculty and students from the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences and a faculty member from the Department of Public Administration, Faculty of Social Sciences & Humanities of the USS, in association with Hakaba Institute for Research & Training, Baidoa, SWSS, carried out this study to highlight the causes of MM in Baidoa City. The purpose of the study is to shed light on the extent at which cases of MM occur and the causes inherent to it by focusing on incidents at Bay Regional Hospital (BRH) in Baidoa city, SWSS, in the year 2019.
 Methods: The study benefits from quantitative case study method by utilizing observation of data available in the archives of Bay Regional Hospital. Analyzing frequencies of occurrences of MM and their causes, the study uses 4 tables to demonstrate the comparisons of the incidents and causes of death from January to December 2019.
 Results: A total number of 1950 pregnant women visited the hospital; 883 were consulted, treated and returned home; 1049 underwent safe delivery; while 18 women died in the process of childbirth. 
 Conclusion: MM poses a great threat to expecting mothers in Baidoa as they are exposed to the risk of dying from obstetric complications linked to numerous direct and indirect causes. Eclampsia, PPH/APH and numerous types of infections have been identified to be among the direct and indirect causes, although many of them are classified as preventable, treatable, or manageable in nature.

An analysis of the public administration curricula in Turkey: Realities, expectations, and attitudes toward novel courses

The public sector gets through a big transformation in many dimensions lately. The volume and extent of this transformation influence institutionalization, organization, and execution of the public sector as a whole, irrespective of either a developed or a developing country case is at stake. There is a growing inclination to capture and direct this transformation in public administration scholarship. However, there is a void concerning whether and how the curricula of public administration are designed to capture and drive this transformation. This paper aims to address this void by analyzing the curricula in a developing country case, namely Turkey. This bidirectional motive of the study is served by evaluating first to analyze the attitudes, expectations, and opinions of public administration academics working and studying in the field of public affairs on several educational issues. Then, we aim to analyze the curricula of some selected public administration departments. After analyzing all the study findings, it is seen that departments in Turkey are mainly framed to represent the traditional dimensions of statehood. No matter how hard are the challenges that the governments face, public administration departments are still stuck to structural, organizational, and legal perspectives. We argue that the public sector needs curious public administrators rather than institutional ones, thus we plea for curricula that reflect meeting this need.

The Studenst of the Public Administration Department need to have a comprehensible English skill to be able to understand a simple English passages especially those which are related to the Public Administration field. Due to this reason, a good instructional material is absolutely needed to teach English in the Public Administration Department. This research belongs to the Research and Development (RnD) and the model used in this research is ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate). The researcher presented four main problems. The first problem was what are the target needs of the students of Public Administration, the second problem is what are the learning needs of the students of Public Administration, the third is what type of syllabus that is most suitable to meet the ESP course at Public Administration Department, and the last is what kind of ESP instructional material that should be taught for students of Public Administration. The first and the second problems were solved by the use of questinnaire and the interview.The population of this research consists of 310 Public Administration students, 10 English lecturer and graduates of Public Administration. The sample of this research consists of 25 students, one lecrturer and one graduates. The data from the respondens then analyzed by the researcher to identify the needs analysis of the students to meet their fit instructional material. In order to design the instructional material, ADDIE model is used. The syllabus is designed first then developed into instructional material.

The Competency Movement in Public Hospitals: Analysing the Competencies of Hospital Executive Managers

"Our primary aim was to provide a quantitative snapshot relying on a self-assessment tool developed for the local healthcare environment and formal tasks for top-level executive hospital managers of public healthcare organizations. We used a cross-sectional and descriptive mixed study design that targeted the nationwide population of 701 top-level managers in public hospitals in 2015 in Turkey. As the first step, position description content analysis was conducted based on document analysis to explore their legal tasks and statements, and the job requirements for an executive management position in public hospitals. Second, before designing the data-collection instrument, we conducted four meetings and group discussions with several hospital managers – with and without medical backgrounds – and five academics who were part of healthcare management and public administration departments. Lastly, we built upon past efforts and the literature, and constructed a questionnaire. The managers are fully responsible for the healthcare quality, medical, nursing, administrative issues and financial performance of the facility. The participants perceived that they were competent in most of the competencies. The participants’ mean total competency score was 81%, and the competency gap between the required and current competency levels differed from 13% to 22%. This research provides deep insight into the competencies perceived by hospital executive managers in a developing country context. Our results have several practical implications for both healthcare policymakers and new executive hospital managers. There is an urgent need for follow-up self-assessment for competencies and ongoing management training programs."

Note from the Editor-in-Chief

Note from the Editor-in-Chief Jürgen Buchenau I take great pleasure in greeting the readership of The Latin Americanist as our new editor-in-chief. First and foremost, these are big shoes to fill. My predecessor, Greg Weeks, served as editor for fifteen long years. During that time, he built the nation's oldest interdisciplinary Latin American Studies journal from its self-published status through an association with Wiley to its present status as a journal published by UNC Press. And Greg did so while he assumed ever greater responsibilities at UNC Charlotte: first, as Director of Latin American Studies, then, as chair of the Department of Political Science and Public Administration, and finally, as Associate Dean of Academic Affairs of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. As co-editor of the SECOLAS Annals issue along with Gregory Crider, I have watched the growth of the journal with great pride, and I look forward to the opportunity to keep The Latin Americanist on its upward trajectory. Even on the heels of such success, a new editor inevitably brings some changes. To begin with, Gregory Crider is now the sole editor of the Annals edition. Second, five associate editors—all colleagues at UNC Charlotte—will help make publication decisions and recruit manuscripts: Frederico Batista (Political Science), David Dalton (Spanish), Erika Edwards (History), Eric Hoenes (Anthropology), and Carmen Soliz (History). I appreciate their help very much and look forward to working with them in the coming years. Third, we will be growing the book review section under the leadership of Colin Snider (University of Texas-Tyler). In addition to the traditional book reviews, Colin is looking for review essays that examine two or more works from a comparative perspective. We know that these review essays are helpful for both teaching and scholarship. Please contact Colin or me if you have an idea for such a review essay. I would also like to take this opportunity to solicit suggestions more generally on how to further advance the journal and make it more helpful to our readers. Suggestions for special issues or sections are also always welcome. We look forward to hearing from you! I appreciate the support from our staff at UNC Charlotte and at SECOLAS early on in the transition. The Dean of our college, Nancy Gutierrez, has been very supportive of our journal throughout our time here. I especially want to acknowledge our former graduate assistant, Julia Poppell, as well as our new one, Susanny Acosta, who have been patient with a new and inexperienced editor. As has the SECOLAS leadership, especially our Secretary-Treasurer, Steven Hyland, who writes the checks and makes sure we stay afloat. I look forward to working with our current president, [End Page 319] Monica Rankin, as well as our next one, Martin Nesvig. I appreciate you all and look forward to seeing many of you at the next SECOLAS conference here in Charlotte!

TÜRKİYE’DE LİSANSÜSTÜ EĞİTİMDE KENTBİLİM VE ÇEVRE EĞİTİMİNİN AKADEMİK GÖRÜNÜMÜ

Türkiye’de kentleşme ve çevre eğitiminin gelişimini Cumhuriyetin ilk yıllarına kadar götürmek mümkün olsa da asıl gelişmenin 1940’lardan itibaren olduğu görülür. Özellikle 2. Dünya Savaşı öncesinden başlayan sanayileşme ve onun yarattığı buhranın etkisi hem savaş hem de savaş sonrası dönemde hemen bütün dünyayı derinden etkilemiştir. Kentlerin yeniden inşası süreci özellikle kentbilim eğitim ve çalışmalarının da itici gücü olur. Ancak 2000’li yıllara yaklaşırken artan kentsel sorunlara hızlı bir şekilde çevre sorunları da eklenirken, uluslararası toplum sürece kayıtsız kalmayarak önemli adımlar atmıştır. Türkiye’de de bu önemli adımların kent ve çevre eğitimi bakımından üniversitelerin daha çok kamu yönetimi bölümlerinde öne çıktığı bilinmektedir. Özellikle kamu yönetimi lisansüstü programları sosyo-ekonomik değişkenler ile kent ve çevre eğitiminde eleştirel düşünme arasında anlamlı ilişki kurmaya elverişli programlardır. Bu çalışma Türkiye’de kamu yönetimi bölümlerinde lisansüstü olarak verilen kent ve çevre eğitimi üzerinden hem bir analiz yapmayı hem de bir gelecek perspektifi ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Sosyal bilimler enstitülerinde ilgili programların dağılımı, bu dağılımın vakıf ve devlet üniversiteleri için farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığı, derslerin hangi ana alanlarda toplandığı, günümüz sorun ve çözüm arayışlarına ne denli yanıtlar verebildikleri, dersi veren öğretim üyeleri arasında bir unvan farklılaşması olup olmadığı çalışmanın temel sorularındandır. Çalışmada farklılaşan ders isimlerine rağmen içeriklerin ve ders materyallerinin sınırlılığı ve bunun yanı sıra ders dağılımı ve dersi veren öğretim üyelerinin unvan farklılığı dikkat çekmektedir. Bu bağlamda Türkiye’de kent ve çevre eğitimi açısından özellikle lisansüstü düzeyde yeni bir perspektife ihtiyaç olduğu açıktır.
