Cultural influences on willingness to donate organs among urban native Americans.

The need for organ donation is substantial among Native Americans, driven by the disproportionate burden of ESRD. Due to the dearth of knowledge about willingness to donate (WTD) among urban Native Americans, a group that represents over half of the US Native population, we aimed to examine factors affecting donation. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of a convenience sample, using a questionnaire developed specifically for this study using community-based participatory research. The questionnaire was designed to be culturally relevant to the Native community, based on questions from three previously validated instruments and developed through one-on-one interviews. We performed logistic regression to associate survey answers with WTD. Seventy percent of our 183 respondents stated that they would be willing to have their organs donated after death; however, only 41% were already registered as an organ donor on their driver's license. Logistic regression analysis found specific items in domains of trust of the medical community and spirituality most closely associated with WTD. Sixty-two percent of Native Americans surveyed reported they would not donate organs because they distrust the medical community. Our findings suggest multiple areas of focus for increasing organ donation within this subset of the diverse Native community. Efforts to promote donation should be aimed at building trust in the medical community.

Platforms of Work, Labour, and Employment Relationship: The Grey Zones of a Digital Governance.

Drawing on numerous case studies, the article examines the specific conditions for organising and managing the employment relationship on digital labour platforms. We show that these conditions are largely due to the disruptive nature of the process of digitising the employee–employer relationship. Digitisation replaces the employment contract of the standard employment relationship with a triangular “worker–platform–customer” relationship. In this model, the boundaries of the employment relationship become opaque and more uncertain: the bond of subordination disappears, labour law gives way to commercial law, and the figures of the employer and the employee lose institutional visibility. The article seeks to clarify the contours of this “in-between” model and proposes the notion of the “grey zone,” borrowed from geopolitics. This notion of the “employment grey zone” makes it possible to shift the researcher's perspective by focusing attention on practices and “intermediate spaces of regulation,” which are relatively autonomous and endowed with their own dynamics. This framework of analysis broadens the perspective and helps to better understand the impact on the employment relationship of new forms of governance in a context of a digital turning point. The article first returns to the notion of the “grey zone” and argues on the foundations and interest of mobilising this notion in the field of industrial relations studies. The links between digital platforms and grey zones are then examined. In particular, we show that digital governance is based on a confusion of powers between coordination and leadership. The reflection continues in a third phase with an examination of digital management practices in two areas: the control of the activity of connected workers, and the production and management of externalities resulting from the operation of platforms. The article concludes with a discussion on the heuristic value of the notion of grey zones of employment.

Organ Procurement Organization Run Department of Motor Vehicle Registration and Drivers Licensing Offices Leads to Increased Organ Donor First Person Authorization Registrations.

More people who have personally consented to organ donation via first person authorization (FPA) registration before death become organ donors than those not personally consenting. The majority of registrations occur at state-specific department of motor vehicle (DMV) and licensing offices, where people register their vehicles and obtain driver's licenses. One organ procurement organization (OPO) ran 3 DMV offices and implemented an intervention: a donor-centric approach, including employee education, office decoration with donation materials, and customer experience improvements. Data about registry enrollment was collected before and during the 4-year OPO licensing office contract. A linear mixed model and interrupted time series analyses were performed to evaluate whether the intervention improved rates of registration. Preintervention registry enrollment rates per month were 10%-50%. Having the offices run by an OPO was associated with more enrollments independent of the increasing trend of enrollment (P < 0.001). Also, the DMV office with the lowest preimplementation registration rates had an immediate increase in enrollments after the intervention leading to higher registration rates (P < 0.001). A donor-centric OPO-managed DMV experience increases FPA registration, especially at offices with low initial registration rates. However, even at the office with the highest percentage of FPA registrations, rates were only 65% at intervention conclusion. The transplant community should consider other opportunities for FPA registration.

Attitude survey among elderly outpatients in a hospital concerning driving after the implementation of a new road traffic act

Following the passage of a new traffic law in March 2017, an inquiry survey was performed for 202 patients (men 60.9%, women 39.1%) in a medical center for neurocognitive disorders in Japan. Half of the 108 patients who currently had a driver's license had experienced traffic problems, including nearly crashing accidentally, in the past, but only a few of the men were willing to return their driver's license to the government, regardless of age (<75 and ≥75 years old). They mainly worried about how they would manage daily activities without a car, such as shopping for necessities, visiting the clinic, having the chance to get outside. They also worried about increasing the burden of other family members. In contrast, the other 94 patients who either did not have a driver's license or had already returned them to the government expected only slight issues due to the law, or even felt positive about losing their license. However, roughly half of those 94 patients did not get exchanging benefits (traffic discount card and license record card) on losing licenses probably due to less knowledge about such benefits. The present study revealed various aspects of elderly patients' thoughts concerning their driver's licenses in a local city of Japan.

Existing Laws to Combat Road Traffic Injury in Nepal and Bangladesh: A Review on Cross Country Perspective.

Road traffic accidents is a leading cause of injury and death globally. The consequences of road traffic accidents are prominent in developing countries that can least afford to meet the health services, economic and societal challenges. Nepal and Bangladesh are two developing country of South Asia who bear a large share of burden due to road traffic injuries. A non-systematic review of relevant documents using Google scholar and PubMed as well as review of relevant legal documents was done. Nepal and Bangladesh have traffic laws including all the key risk factors as recommended by the World Health Organization except the child restraint systems laws. The existing laws for both countries include speed, drunk driving, use of seatbelts and motorcycle helmet, driver license, vehicle condition, overloading and accident related compensations.In both the countries for post-crash response, national emergency care access number has partial coverage and in Nepal there are some provisions related to trauma registry.Vulnerable groups are pedestrians with majority of male and higher mortality found in rural areas than urban areas for both the countries. Both the countries have traffic laws that focus on the prevention of road traffic accidents and protection of victims. However, amendments in the existing laws are required for confronting immediate challenges of increasing accidents and injuries that both the countries face every year.

Labor market impacts of states issuing of driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants

Over the last years several states have enacted policies granting undocumented immigrants access to driver's licenses. We exploit the state and temporal variation in the issuing of state driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants to estimate their impact on labor market outcomes. Using 2005 through 2017 data from the American Community Survey, we show that likely undocumented men increase their weekly hours of work in response to the availability of driver's licenses. Perhaps due to their already high labor force participation, the impact is somewhat moderate. We also find no similar impacts among similarly skilled foreign-born Hispanic men who have naturalized. The policy slightly raises commuting time, suggesting changes in work patterns, as well as likely undocumented immigrants’ propensity to have an occupation that requires driving. At a time when anti-immigrant sentiments are at an all-time high, understanding how these policies impact targeted groups and similarly skilled citizens is crucial for maintaining an informed immigration policy debate.

Patterns in perceived crash risk among male and female drivers with and without substantial cycling experience

Perceived risk of crashes is generally higher in female than in male cyclists. No study has assessed whether these gender differences only apply to riding bicycles. Using an online risk assessment task and survey, this study (a) tested the hypothesis that compared to men, women perceive higher risks, irrespective of traffic mode and (b) explored gender differences in the predictors of perceived risk. Data were analysed from 595 driver licence holders in Australia: 444 who cycled regularly, termed ‘cyclists’ from here on (31% women) and 151 regular drivers who did not (63% women), who are referred to as ‘drivers’. Cyclists in their role as cyclists and drivers in their role as drivers (traffic role) were instructed to imagine being in a specified traffic scenario and to assess crash likelihood. Each of 6 traffic scenarios was presented twice but differing in configuration: a violating car and a violating bicycle. A mixed ANOVA, with rated probability of a crash as the dependent variable, gender and traffic role as grouping factors, and configuration as the repeated measure, resulted in a main effect of configuration, showing that both drivers and cyclists perceived higher levels of risk of violating cars than of violating bicycles (ηp2 = 0.34). The interaction of traffic role and configuration showed this difference to be smaller for drivers than for cyclists (ηp2 = 0.18). This suggests that drivers are aware of the car’s high injury potential in crashes with cyclists. The main effect of gender showed that irrespective of traffic role, women perceived higher risk than men, which supported the hypothesis that gender differences are not limited to cycling (ηp2 = 0.03). The main effect of traffic role was not significant.For the predictors of perceived risk, ANOVA showed main effects for traffic role and gender, with small effect sizes (from ηp2 = 0.02 to ηp2 = 0.03). Cyclists were more confident, less inattentive and more in favour of stricter laws. Women felt less skilled and were more concerned about risks. None of the interactions between gender and traffic role were significant, which lent further support to the hypothesis that gender differences were a general rather than a cycling specific characteristic. Thus, perceived risk does not differ between women who regularly cycle and those who do not. These findings may inform interventions about the role of perceived risk in the uptake of cycling.

Characteristics of Young-Onset and Late-Onset Dementia Patients at a Remote Memory Clinic

Young-onset dementia (YOD) is defined as the onset of dementia symptoms before the age of 65 years and accounts for 2-8% of dementia. YOD patients and their caregivers face unique challenges in diagnosis and management. We aimed to compare the characteristics of rural YOD and late-onset dementia (LOD) patients at a rural and remote memory clinic in Western Canada. A total of 333 consecutive patients (YOD = 61, LOD = 272) at a rural and remote memory clinic between March 2004 and July 2016 were included in this study. Each patient had neuropsychological assessment. Health, mood, function, behaviour and social factors were also measured. Both groups were compared using χ2 tests and independent sample tests. YOD patients were more likely to be married, employed, current smokers and highly educated. They reported fewer cognitive symptoms, but had more depressive symptoms. YOD patients were less likely to live alone and use homecare services. YOD caregivers were also more likely to be a spouse and had higher levels of distress than LOD caregivers. Both YOD and LOD patient groups were equally likely to have a driver's licence. Our findings indicate YOD and LOD patients have distinct characteristics and services must be modified to better meet YOD patient needs. In particular, the use of homecare services and caregiver support may alleviate the higher levels of distress found in YOD patients and their caregivers. Additional research should be directed to addressing YOD patient depression, caregiver distress and barriers to services.

Qualitative study on decision-making process in "voluntary" withdrawal of driver's license: Transitions in self-concept, body image, and social relationships due to aging

Objectives Although previous studies have discussed the "voluntary" withdrawal of older drivers' driving license to prevent traffic accidents, there is less evidence about the experience of giving up driving. The present study investigated the decision-making process in the "voluntary" withdrawal of the driver's license and the conceptual meaning of "voluntary" among individuals who have experienced or shortly plan the event, as well as the transitions in their social relationships, social interactions, and body image perceptions.Methods Qualitative research was undertaken to examine the explanatory research question in City A, Ibaraki prefecture, Japan. A semi-structured interview was conducted with eight male participants. They were asked related questions, for example, the meaning of driving, lifestyle changes, and so on. Data were recorded and transcribed into transcripts to be analyzed using the grounded theory approach.Results The qualitative data revealed that when participants perceived their "body" as alienated from their "self" during driving or daily living, they became confused because they needed to be conscious of the aroused existence of the "self" that operates their "body," which was previously integrated with their "self." This awareness led the individuals to the process of "voluntary" withdrawal from driving in coping with their reflected "self" while they gradually distrusted their "self" regarding their deteriorating "body." Some participants lost their "self" and felt that they were forced to stop driving "voluntarily" when their "self" was determined as belonging to a risky "body," whereas others could decide "voluntary" driving cessation and realize their "self" through social interactions when they "re-evaluated" their "self" in light of their life stories. Both types of participants had "difficulties" after driving cessation; however, the latter effectively emphasized the re-construction of the "self" and "self"-based decision-making process due to aging.Conclusion The decision-making process in the withdrawal of a driver's license due to aging resembled the process of coping with disabilities. Previous relationships between "self," "body," and society might be affected by age- or illness-triggered events. Encouraging the re-construction of "self" and its relationships might alleviate the psychological impact on elderly people facing "voluntary" retirement from driving.

Laws and Policies Related to the Health of US Immigrants: A Policy Scan.

We conducted a policy scan of state and local laws and policies across the United States related to social determinants of health among immigrants. We collected all state and municipal laws and policies in 10 domains that had potential to affect immigrant health from all 50 U.S. states and the 30 most populous U.S. metropolitan statistical areas. We coded these laws and policies and created an index of restrictiveness and supportiveness of immigrants. We identified 539 state and 322 municipal laws and policies. The most common restrictive state laws and policies were in the domains of identification requirements and driver's license access. The most common supportive state laws and policies were in the domains of health services and higher education access. The most common restrictive municipal laws and policies were in the domains of identification requirements and immigration policy enforcement. The most common supportive municipal laws and policies were in the domains of immigration policy enforcement and health services access. Most states had index scores reflecting policy environments that were primarily restrictive of immigrants, indicating potential negative impacts on social determinants of health. Further research examining the impact of these on health behaviors is warranted.

Building Systems Testing Method Using Ishihara Color Blindness

Color blind test system is needed in various needs such as the management of a driver's license, prospective students in Certain institutions, prospective employees or employees in government and private agencies. The development of a computer-based test system color blind color blind tests aims at activities that produce normal eye Conclusions on sealing, partial color blindness and total color blindness. The method used to complete this research is Ishihara, which was discovered by Dr. Shinobu Ishihara.

With the output in the form of computer screens and paper prints when using a printer connected to a computer in the form of a Health Certificate with test results in the form of a normal eye vision, color blindness partial or total color blindness.

Implementation of the Blockchain in the Optimization of the Security of Transport Documents (Driver&amp;apos;s License and Vehicules Registration Cards)

Data security has become very important nowadays, especially with the increase of data from the big data, forcing each sector to review its security system. The security of driving license and the vehicle registration is always attributed to an authority. This authority can be public or private. In Cameroon, in the transport sector, the security of the driving license and the vehicle registration document is attributed to two private authorities. Presprint Pl for the driving license and High Tech Telesoft for the vehicle registration card. Their objective is to prove the authenticity, availability and confidentiality of the holder of the driving license or car registration card. But until now, the security of these transport documents has encountered certains problems such as the fact that some individuals possess false driver's licenses or false vehicle registration cards. Sometimes with the complicity of certain system managers, the time taken by an applicant to obtain his driver's license or vehicle registration card, the management of the data to be secured by a single authority. Faced with this situation, in order to ensure that only qualified persons who have received appropriate driver training and hold a authentic driving license can be authorized to drive vehicles. The security of the system will be optimized through the use of blockchain technology, in allowing transparency in data management and without a central authority.

From the Closest Waffe House

From the Closest Waffe House Janelle M. Williams (bio) summer 2017 When he says, let's go to Atlanta, we're in front of a big clock, and he is quietly staring at it, almost smiling. I count the time, and I count the miles, and it will probably take us thirteen hours to get there, maybe more, because I swear Eric is narcoleptic. I've never brought anyone home, but it's a long weekend, and maybe it feels like the right thing to do. My mom could use the company. I read somewhere that it's possible to dream down, that you can let your dreams fall into your children, force them there, maybe even actualize them. I think if she sees me floating, she'll know that her weight doesn't have to hold her. Eric's white Kia Optima with black rims is new. It still has that new smell, and Eric just sits in it sometimes, because he can't believe it's his. I'll call him after the workday or on a late Sunday afternoon, and he'll eventually let on that he's just sitting in his car, outside of his house, going nowhere. He's quirky like that. fall 2004 My old car was champagne colored, the shimmery shade of Malik's wet skin, my parent's third car, a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and I was the first of my friends to get a driver's license because my birthday is in September. This was before the windows stopped working and before a speeding car bashed the back bumper, when my parents were still together but had stopped sleeping in the same room, so our maroon leather couch had the persistent indentation of my dad's ass. My parking spot was on the far left side of school, across from the Dandy Donuts, best donuts I'd ever have, and not too far from the trailers where Mr. Macon taught pre-cal. I thought of that Jeep as mine, and it sort of was, as I used to cart my friends around in it, some all the way back [End Page 43] to Lithonia, a forty-minute drive without traffic. I lived ten or fifteen minutes closer, in Decatur, just off of Covington Highway. The baseball diamond was behind my parking spot, and I always found myself checking for a game night because maybe we were playing Douglass, and maybe I'd get to see Malik in his uniform. It was never the tight pants that did it for me but the way he walked in them. The Jeep gave me a sense of freedom that I never had when my mom picked me up from school. We two screamed at each other at the top of our throats, because I was my dad's child. She saw him in me, and I think she hated him, and that only matched my animosity toward her. She let me drive the better, newer car because she liked the space of our old minivan, and I always thought the van suited her, in the way that it allowed her room to collect all the different people inside of her, all of the work folders littering the backseat, all of the screams and shouts she could never stop crying. My dad drove a 1984 pickup truck because he was the only one who could work a stick, and I think that saved his masculinity in some sad, sordid way. summer 2017 Eric likes overproduced music, and I like him in spite of that, so we're listening to Bryson Tiller for the hundredth time, and I'm itching for my chance to control the playlist. "The lack of instrumentation is making me nauseous," I tell him, and he side-eyes me, doubtful. "I'm serious. I can't take it anymore." "Change it then. Something upbeat though. No ballads." I am used to, even enamored by, men wearing bedazzled blazers singing in high octaves. I love oldies. But Eric wants upbeat, so I sardonically put on Janet Jackson. "No," he says. I laugh and put on Noname Gypsy, a Chicago-bred female rapper...

Secure Content-Based Image Retrieval in the Cloud With Key Confidentiality

Owing to the rapid development of cloud services and personal privacy demand, secure cloud storage services and search over encrypted datasets have become an important issue. Recently, the leaking of images such as identification and driver's licenses catches much attention. The trend towards secure computation has been widely discussed, especially asymmetric scalar-product-preserving encryption (ASPE) and homomorphic encryption (HE). Although ASPE have ability to encrypt and determine the similarity between ciphertexts efficiently, it is not a practical methodology due to its assumption that the users are fully trusted in real world and it also may have key leakage problem. Contrary to ASPE, HE can execute addition and multiplication in the encrypted domain and solve key leakage problem. Hence, in this paper, we combine the opinions of HE and ASPE to propose new privacy-preserving content-based image retrieval with key confidentiality scheme against the attacks from data owner, cloud server and users. Our privacy preserving image retrieval scheme is developed under strong threat model that is close to real world. Furthermore, to the best of our knowledge, our work is the first one that developing scheme under the assumption that all the entities involved in privacy-preserving image retrieval system are semi-trusted. Our scheme ensures the confidentiality of key and privacy of query information at the same time. In addition, we provide a lightweight verification to check whether the search query is fake or not. Finally, the experiment results show that the computation overheads and search precision are acceptable at the same time.

Knowledge and Level of Compliance of Tricycle Drivers on Traffic Rules and Regulations: A Case of the Tricycle City of the Philippines

The importance of traffic laws is undeniable because it is designed to protect both the lives of the drivers and passengers. Having sufficient knowledge of rules on the road and much more on practicing those rules make a driver skilled and would surely minimize the accidents or crash on the road. This study was accomplished with the objective of determining the knowledge and level of compliance of the tricycle drivers on traffic rules and regulations in terms of Ten Commandments of traffic, pavement markings and, traffic signs/signals and islands in Cabanatuan City which is known as the Tricycle City of the Philippines. With the objective of gaining new insights with the current situation in the said subject, the researcher used a descriptive research method. The respondents of this study were the 100 driver–members of selected Tricycle Operators and Drivers Association (TODA) in Cabanatuan City who were randomly chosen from different barangays. It has been found out in this study that the motorists are knowledgeable in terms of the traffic rules and regulations but on the contrary, they are not always compliant. Based on the results of this study, the researcher suggests the refurbishing of the driver licensing system and the strict implementation of the existing laws on road traffic management.

Licensing the Insured: Providing Driver Licenses to Unauthorized Immigrants Has Not Impacted Auto Insurance in California

A key argument for providing unauthorized immigrants with driver licenses is that such policies are expected to increase auto insurance uptake and lower premiums. The paper tests this expectation in the context of California's Assembly Bill (AB) 60, which gave about 2.6 million unauthorized immigrants access to driver licenses. Exploiting cross-county variation in the estimated share of AB60 licenses, we find that even though more than one million licenses have been issued under AB60 to date, the policy had no measurable effects on the share of uninsured vehicles or automobile insurance premiums. A power analysis and multiple robustness checks corroborate this conclusion. This result suggests that most newly licensed unauthorized immigrants were already driving an insured vehicle prior to the reform. In a highly car-dependent society, they had no choice but to drive even when it was illegal. Our research provides important insights about the behavior of one of the most marginalized populations in the United States and revisits prominent claims about how to improve auto insurance rates and premiums.

A human centric framework for the analysis of automated driving systems based on meaningful human control

ABSTRACTThe future adoption of automated vehicles poses many challenges, with one of the more important being the preservation of control over vehicles that are no longer (fully) operated by drivers. There is consensus that vehicles should not perform actions that are unacceptable to humans. In this paper, we introduce the concept of Meaningful Human Control (MHC) as a function of a framework of the Automated Driving System (ADS). This framework is constructed through the core components that make up the ADS, primarily considered within the categories of the vehicle and driver. Identification of these components and the chain of control allow traceability of MHC to be performed, and aids vehicle manufacturers, software developers, other vehicle component designers, and vehicle- and driver licensing authorities to address many challenges related to the design and preservation of human control in automated vehicles. Operationalisation of MHC is discussed in the paper including a suggested approach that should aid understanding and the application of the concept. Four application examples are given and recommendations are made in regard to vehicle design, human machine interaction, transition of control, driver training, vehicle approval, and other topics. The framework and presented concept also allow researchers to identify areas to perform more explicit and relevant research and develop models that can be applied to perform projections of future impacts.

From knowledge to action: Measuring the gaps between the evidence and adapted driver education services for young adults with disabilities

IntroductionDriving is an important activity for the social participation of young people with physical and cognitive disabilities. Learning to drive, however, presents difficulties for this population. Innovative services have been developed in the province of Québec, Canada, but the extent to which they are evidence-based is not known nor are optimal parameters for learning to drive. ObjectivesThe aims of this study were to 1) explore users' views and preferences with respect to learning to drive; 2) create indicators based on science, experience, and users' views and preferences that can be used to evaluate driver education programs; and 3) use these indicators to measure the gaps between knowledge and practice in an existing adapted driver education program. MethodBased on an integrated knowledge translation model, this study used a qualitative and quantitative design consisting of three steps: 1) focus group meeting and telephone interviews with users, 2) definition and validation of criteria and indicators, and 3) chart audit. Results1) Users' needs and expectations were documented from the focus group meeting and three interviews. 2) Building on the results of step 1 and a review of the literature, including expert opinions on adapted driver's education, 34 quality indicators were created. These indicators were supported by information from the literature (42%), expert opinions (33%), and users' views (25%). 3) Forty charts from an existing program were audited and showed that the indicators are relevant to evaluate the quality of this type of program. ConclusionThese preliminary indicators were created to facilitate the implementation of new evidence-based adapted driver education programs. This entire initiative will make it easier for young adults with disabilities to obtain a driver's licence, which will ultimately foster more satisfactory social participation.

Race and Bankruptcy

African American bankruptcy filers are more likely to select Chapter 13 than other debtors, who opt instead for Chapter 7, which has higher success rates and lower attorney fees. Prior scholarship blames racial discrimination by bankruptcy attorneys. We present an alternative explanation: Chapter 13 offers benefits, including retention of assets such as cars and driver's licenses, that are more valuable to African American debtors because they have relatively long commutes. We take advantage of a 2011 policy in Chicago, which suspended driver's licenses of consumers with large traffic-related debts. The policy produced a large increase in Chapter 13 filings, especially by African Americans. Two mechanisms explain the disparate racial impact: African Americans were more likely to have traffic-related debts and they incurred greater costs from license suspension due to their relatively long commutes. When we match African Americans to other debtors with similar commutes, we find no racial difference in the propensity to file for Chapter 13. These findings suggest that racial disparities in bankruptcy reflect racial disparities in commuting.

ПРОБЛЕМНІ ПИТАННЯ ПРАВОВОГО РЕГУЛЮВАННЯ АДМІНІСТРАТИВНИХ ПОСЛУГ В УКРАЇНІ

Problem statement. In the process of European integration and the implementation of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union and its Powers, one of the most important problems of Ukrainian society is the legal regulation of procedural relations between executive authorities and local self-government bodies with individuals and legal entities. One of the components of this legal relationship, in particular the provision of services, remains not enough investigated and debatable issue. One of the criteria for the effectiveness of public authorities is the quality of the provision of services. From the completeness and timeliness, availability of services depends largely on the citizen's attitude to the system of public administration, the state as a whole. The purpose of the paper is to summarize the legal and regulatory framework for the provision of services in Ukraine and identify the main issues of legal regulation and ways to solve them. The main task is to analyze regulatory documents that provide the scope of services provided and identify conflicts during their application. The Encyclopedia of Public Administration considers the category administrative service (hereinafter – AD) the result of implementation of authority by an authorized entity, which, in accordance with the law, ensures the legal registration of the conditions for implemenattion of rights, freedoms and legal interests by individuals and legal entities upon their application (issuance of permits licenses), certificates, certificates, registration, etc.). The current legislation of Ukraine on services is based on normative legal acts, which include the Constitution of Ukraine, the codes of Ukraine, laws of Ukraine, legal acts of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and local legal acts. Despite the existence of a sufficient number of regulatory acts which regulate the functions of providing services, experts insisted on the necessity to develop and adopt legislative acts that should define the basic principles and features of procedures and requirements for the quality of public authorities in this area. The Law of Ukraine On Administrative Services, which was adopted on the sixth of September in 2012 and was called to ensure realization of the tasks of introduction of democratic principles of government and elimination of deficiencies in the relevant field, after which the system of provision of services became modern. This law actually introduced centers for the providing of services. Today, most of the services in Ukraine are provided by central executive authorities and their territorial divisions. These services include: birth registration, marriage registration, death registration, and other acts of civil status; registration and issuance of passports; registration of place of residence; the appointment of various types of social assistance and subsidies; registration of posessiveness to real estate; registration of vehicles and issuing, driver's licenses. registration of entrepreneurship and others. Conclusion. Thus, there is a sufficient legal and regulatory framework for the functioning of services system in the country. But the lack of an Administrative Procedural Code and the non-regulation of certain aspects of the mechanism for providing services causes a necessity to carry out scientific advances on the improvement of regulatory legal acts for improving the quality of services, ensuring the organization of providing high-quality services based on the processes of and territorial reform, territorial communities in particular. Meanwhile, it is urgently necessary to adopt the Law of Ukraine On Administrative Fee, which will determine the legal basis for the collection of fees, payers, the size of fees, the procedure for payment, exemption from payment and the return of fees. The absence of legislative definition of the concept of standard of service and the size of the collection rate leads to corruption risks in providing of services, both by the authorities and local self-government bodies.
