Navigating Implementation Challenges of Stunting Solutions in Indonesia's Health Programs

General Background: Indonesia faces a significant public health issue with fifth-highest stunting prevalence among toddlers, especially in East Java, and local efforts are being implemented to reduce rates. Specific Background: Klurak village government's stunting prevention programs, involving Posyandu cadres and midwives, face challenges due to communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure, as per Edward III's implementation theory. Knowledge Gap: While stunting programs are in place, the extent to which these programs effectively address local needs and barriers, particularly through an administrative lens, remains underexplored. Aims: This study aims to analyze the implementation of stunting prevention programs in Klurak Village using Edward III’s four-indicator framework and identify the key sectors hindering or supporting effective implementation. Results: Findings suggest that the stunting prevention program is moderately effective. Communication among village stakeholders is integrated but limited by budget constraints, while resources, particularly in human capacity and infrastructure, are inadequate. Despite positive dispositions among health workers, bureaucratic inefficiencies hinder maximum implementation. Novelty: The study provides a rare, localized analysis of stunting prevention through a public administration framework, offering practical insights into grassroots-level health governance in Indonesia. Implications: The research highlights the need for better resource allocation, continuous socialization efforts, and enhanced inter-agency collaboration to improve stunting prevention outcomes in rural settings. Highlights: Communication Gaps: Enhance stakeholder interaction to improve stunting awareness. Resource Needs: Adequate resources are essential for program effectiveness. Bureaucratic Issues: Structural inefficiencies hinder health program implementation. Keywords: Stunting, Klurak Village, Public Health, Program Implementation, Edward III Theory

Metrics as Pseudo Goals of Reforms

The article emphasizes the significance of numerical indicators in economic policy and explains the widespread use of metrics as a tool for regulation and control. It highlights the correlation between metrics and the competitive ideology within the neoliberal framework of public administration. Metrics serve as pseudo-goals for the state, and the article delves into the distinctions between actual state goals and these pseudo-goals of regulation. The author provides examples demonstrating the disparities between the outcomes of metric-based management and the missions of public sector organizations, particularly in the realms of science and higher education. Furthermore, the text elucidates the reasons why Key Performance Indicator (KPI) analogues are not fully suitable for the non-profit sector and how they can contribute to an increase in transaction costs. It also explores how metrics can trigger an institutional mechanism of adverse selection, impacting the behavioral strategies of government employees. The article discusses how metrics may lead to the economic decline of the public sector and affect the broader social relations system. Moreover, it outlines a foundational set of axioms embraced by proponents of metrics-based management and outlines the essential conditions for its effective implementation. The article argues that oversimplified interpretations of the role of metrics are misguided and presents arguments regarding their adverse effects on the quality of public services. Finally, the article advocates for accountability in the unwarranted adoption of vertical metrics and a reduction in the number of measurements within the state regulatory system.

ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКИЕ ШКОЛЫ В РАЗВИТИИ ПРОСТРАНСТВЕННОЙ ОРГАНИЗАЦИИ РЕГИОНОВ РОССИИ

The article presents the results of the analysis of economic concepts in the framework of the study of the spatial organization of the regions of Russia.

Моделирование инвестиций в техническое обновление и рост ESG-рейтинга компаний

The subject of the study is the accelerated technical and economic development of Russia in order to achieve national goals, which requires the creation of a special mechanism for the formation and implementation of investment projects within the framework of public administration. Simultaneously with technical, technological and economic development, the requirements of the green economy must be fulfilled, which are specified using ESG criteria. The aim of the work is to improve the rating of companies through effective investments while simultaneously implementing projects aimed at technical infrastructure renovation. The result of the work was the creation of an economic and mathematical model that allows you to choose projects aimed at increasing the ESG rating of companies and implementing technical updates, including import substitution with domestic analogues or the implementation of technical and technological innovations. Based on an overview of a wide range of methods and algorithms for finding solutions to an optimal set of projects within the framework of a mathematical programming model with Boolean variables, it is proposed to use a modification of the Faure and Malgrange method, the algorithm of which is given in the text of the article. The conclusions are drawn that the generated model and the given algorithm are a flexible tool that allows you to obtain a set of projects that require minimal investment within the limits of restrictions on the indicators of technical renewal of the company and the values of ESG criteria for different companies and using a different number of criteria.

ИЗУЧЕНИЕ ВОВЛЕЧЕННОСТИ СОТРУДНИКОВ В ГОСУДАРСТВЕННОМ СЕКТОРЕ: ПРЕДПОСЫЛКИ, ПОСЛЕДСТВИЯ И СТРАТЕГИИ

In the contemporary public sector, administrators seek innovative approaches to boost productivity, elevate service quality, and optimize resource allocation. Employee engagement (EE) stands out as a pivotal catalyst driving these transformative endeavors. Engaged employees approach their responsibilities with greater dedication and motivation, invest more energy and effort, demonstrate a higher level of performance and contribute to the achievement of exceptional organizational outcomes. Therefore, to establish an effective framework for public administration, administrators must not only comprehend the factors influencing EE in the public sector and its outcomes but also proactively develop strategies to foster engagement among their workforce. This study aims to identify the fundamental antecedents and consequences of EE in the public sector while evaluating this concept from a strategic perspective. To achieve this aim, an extensive literature review is conducted, involving the systematic examination of existing studies published in the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases on EE within the public sector. The original aspect of the study is to introduce a conceptual model that integrates the antecedents influencing EE, its resulting outcomes and potential strategies for cultivating EE. It is expected that the research findings will both stimulate academic interest and provide insights for practitioners in the realm of public administration.

Development of public self-government within the framework of public administration of physical culture and sports in the system of higher education

The article deals with approaches to public self-government within the framework of public administration of physical culture and sports in the system of higher education. Based on the study of the Law of Ukraine “On Education” and the Law of Ukraine “On Higher Education”, the provisions on public self-government in general in education and in higher education in particular are summarized. Consideration of the subjective component of the Law of Ukraine “On Physical Culture and Sports” allowed for the identification of public self government institutions at: the level of a higher education institution - student sports centers of higher education institutions; local (territorial) level - public associations of pupils and students with a physical culture and sports orientation; national (allUkrainian) level – the sports student union of Ukraine, and also for the development of their functions. Thanks to the developed functions of all the above-mentioned public self- government bodies in the field of physical culture and sports of higher education, a synergistic effect is achieved from the development of vertical reverse management links between the Council for the Development of Physical Culture and Sports in Higher Education and the latter. In order to legitimize the proposed provisions, it is proposed to amend the Law of Ukraine “On Physical Culture and Sports” in part of Article 26 “Physical Culture in Education” by supplementing it with Part 9 in the corresponding author's wording.

Development of the conceptual framework of public administration in higher education in the field of physical culture and sports

In the article, on the basis of the development of normative and legal provisions on issues of higher education andphysical culture and sports and numerous specialized literary sources, the definition of the concepts «system of highereducation in the field of physical culture and sports», «institution of higher education in the field of physical cultureand sports» was formed , «state management of higher education in the field of physical culture and sports», as wellas the goals of the latter. Amplification of the categorical apparatus of state management of higher education in thefield of physical culture and sports made it possible to clearly form not only its thesaurus, but also its goals and to givefurther research an institutional and purposeful character. This approach will ensure consideration of all managementrequests of all institutes of the higher education system in the field of physical culture and sports, and therefore increasethe efficiency of state management of higher education in the field of physical culture and sports.

Expansion of Communication Contact Between the State, Business and Society in the Republic of Kazakhstan

Main problem: digital transformation of Kazakhstan’s society leads to emergence of new communication business models, including the so-called proactive data-based service, which implies expansion of communication contact between the state, business and society. Digital transformation of economic sectors and the service sector has objectively caused discussion of issues related to various aspects of its implementation. These include digitalization of society spheres within framework of public administration [1], problems of interaction between business and government [2], mechanisms of interaction between subjects in the private-public partnership model of government and business [3], description of communication models of business types, government and public sector [4], history of emergence of electronic trade, its forms and types of goods delivery to a consumer [5], organizational and managerial relations and processes arising in enterprises, working in field of online marketing and e-commerce [6]. In Kazakhstan, digitalization of spheres and the economy sectors is one of strategic priorities of its development. Use of information and communication technologies in the service sector creates additional impulses to its dynamics, therefore, has impact on improving population’s life quality. In this regard, it is necessary to identify trends and patterns of communication interaction between the state, business and society, to consider and clarify their content. The purpose: the research of state and trends in the development of Kazakhstan service sector under the influence of digital solutions and expansion of communicative contact between the state, business and society. Methods: the performed analysis in the research is based on the materials of the statistical reviews and their analysis using the methods of grouping, generalization, logical analysis, system description and interpretation. Results and their value: a range of the key problems of communication interaction between the state, business and society is investigated and determined. Recommendations are proposed to accelerate the development of e-commerce in Kazakhstan as a tool for communication interaction between business and society and improving population’s life quality.

Control as a function of the state

The article is devoted to the study of control as a function of the state through the prism of linguistic constructions used in science and etymology of the term “control”. The authors consistently substantiate the position according to which control as a function of the state can be considered as a form of normatively fixed conscious and socially approved process of functioning and development of the system of state administration. In addition, control has specific features expressed in the need to maintain order and the implementation of regulatory actions performed by a special subsystem within the mechanism of the state, which is an organized and institutionalized system of a higher order. The hypothesis is argued that the peculiarity of the state control function lies in its separation into an independent direction of state activity in order to systematize legal practice in the framework of interaction “subject — object of control”, to identify the causes and conditions contributing to the deviation from the normatively established model of behavior, and to return to the mainstream of normatively envisaged, socially approved functioning. Control as a function of the state is aimed at improving the institutions of the state and out of state activity. At the same time, an effective system of control within the framework of public administration is based on the results of legal practice.

Top management support for e-governement project implementation: Case study of Khadamat’s portal in Algeria

The implementation of e-government projects requires support from top management. Our research seeks to examine the quality of top management support in the case of innovative public services, delivered through Khadamat’s portal, a specialized platform of the Water Resources Ministry in Algeria. Before the qualitative research, we conducted an analytical diagnosis of the platform using the web professional tools "Get-ranking, Dareboost and Semrush". Our initial investigation was necessary to explore the G to C of Khadamat’s portal, to understand the functionality before organizing interviews with senior executives. The qualitative study shows that there is political will for e-government projects in the Water resources sector , but there are some functional limitations in the progress of Khadamat’s portal, such as: Lack of interoperability , unsuitable legislation, lack of social networking supports of that e-government service , limited cellphone using of platform , lack of technological expertise related to e-government projects, fear of change under public administration framework, and other marginal factors that explain delays in the effective development of that useful e-government service .

Examining The “Specialness” of Cultural Districts

Cultural districts are an increasing form of single-purpose government. Rhode Island passed the first statewide legislation outlining the structure for state cultural districts (SCDs) in 1998. Since then, 17 additional states have passed similar legislation leading to more than 343 districts across the United States, with regular announcements of additional designations. Even though these SCDs have been in existence for nearly 25 years, there has been limited research undertaken to explore them as a population. Studies using a public administration framework are even more rare. One area especially deficient is the evaluation of cultural districts, a practice that is common for most public programs. This article opens this conversation in public administration by providing comprehensive descriptive data on cultural districts. It also examines the current reporting methods of cultural districts. From this research, cultural district administrators can improve their reporting and accountability to the public. They can also make better decisions informed by the data they are collecting.

Public service activities of public authorities in the protection of citizens' rights

Ukraine’s accession to the European political, economic, informational and legal space encourages the state, executive bodies, local self-government bodies and other subjects of public administration in relations with citizens to adhere to the priority of human and civil rights and freedoms. In modern conditions, an important role in the relations of citizens and legal entities with the subjects of public administration is played by public service activities of executive bodies and local governments, as well as subjects of delegated powers, which in accordance with current regulations provide various services.
 Legislation and bylaws are analyzed. In particular, a study of the Laws of Ukraine: «On Consumer Protection», «On Public Procurement», «On the use of registrars of settlement transactions in trade, catering and services», «On free legal aid», «On administrative services», «On social services», «On the provision of public (electronic public) services for the declaration and registration of residence in Ukraine», as well as the Tax Code of Ukraine.
 The international legal acts that had a significant impact on the formation of domestic legislation and the activities of public administration in the field of providing various types of services are analyzed. The study of legislative acts and bylaws gave grounds to establish that depending on the specifics of the regulation of public relations in the analyzed regulations use different definitions of «services», as well as terminological and cognitive aspects, organizational principles of business entities , in particular, relating to the provision of services, requirements and procedures for the provision of services, determining the rights and obligations of the subject of provision and the customer of the service.
 Attention is drawn to the fact that in case of poor-quality administrative services, citizens of Ukraine and foreigners protect the violated rights in the administrative court.
 The need to develop a normative act, which should be a framework for public administration, to protect the rights and legitimate interests of all parties to the relationship in the provision and receipt of various services.

THE INTEGRATED REPORTING FRAMEWORK ACROSS PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION: A THEMATIC REVIEW

Background and Purpose: The Integrated Reporting framework as emphasised by The International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) in 2013 (revised 2021), was accepted as one of the mechanisms nationwide to enhance public accountability. However, far fewer studies examined the intersection of the Integrated Reporting (IR) framework and the public sector. Addressing the gap, reviews of the literature were presented synthesising the adoption of the IR framework across public administration.
 
 Methodology: By drawing upon SCOPUS, Science Direct and Mendeley databases were employed to generate academic literature beginning in 2011 through 2020. Following the inclusion and exclusion processes, 23 articles were selected and analysed by using ATLAS.ti 8.
 
 Findings: The findings of the review were discussed qualitatively and quantitatively. Particular discerning were the qualitative findings; the findings outlined insights into key developments on the IR framework across the following groups, namely, ‘Fundamental Concepts’, ‘Guiding Principles’, and ‘Content Elements’. Key aspects of challenges concerning the adoption of existing frameworks in public administration were discussed.
 
 Contributions: Future research might better consider developing a more appropriate IR framework for public administration, a framework that integrates policy and practice. By focusing on the academic literature emphasising the IR framework, academics, regulators, and reporting organisations could formulate appropriate strategies for public administration.
 
 Keywords: Framework, integrated reporting, public sector, thematic review.

Designing ‘context-specific’ regional innovation policy

The aim of this study is to investigate how regional government matters in designing ‘context-specific’ regional innovation policy. To that end, the study develops a Public Administration framework to conceptualise the different roles theoretically and applies this framework to capture these roles empirically in six European regions. The study employs a descriptive, multiple-case study research method comparing six regions, three German and three British regions. Qualitative data have been gathered from an existing dataset through archival records research and documentation analysis. The assumption that regions endowed with regional autonomy are better at contextualized policy design is not confirmed in this study. Instead, among the six case studies a great variety of regional government roles was found irrespective of government system type, and all regions engaged in multiple roles throughout the policy process to succeed at designing their ‘context-specific’ regional innovation policy. Understanding how ‘context-specific’ regional innovation policy comes about requires a differentiated conceptualisation of the role of regional government. This is the overall conclusion of the study. The study generates new insights about ‘context-specific’ regional innovation policy and makes an important contribution to better understanding the role of regional government as a policy-making actor to develop such a policy.

THE GROUNDBREAKING PUBLIC GOVERNANCE OF NATIONAL SECURITY WITHIN THE CONDITIONS OF GEOPOLITICAL THREATS

Ensuring public administration of national security is currently gaining extreme significance as seen from the perspective of geopolitical transformations. The addressed issue is particularly relevant and calls for a thorough and systematic research, in view of the global economic crisis, the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic and the global geopolitical transformations and threats that have swept over the world during the recent decade. Despite the sound regulatory framework for public administration in the field of national security and the existing mechanisms of state regulation therein, the effectiveness of public administration in protecting national interests and ensuring the security of individuals, society and the state from external and internal threats requires further enquiry. That said, public administration of national security encompasses the mechanisms to ensure the safeguarding of vital interests of man and citizen, society and the state, and accordingly the sustainable development of society, prompt detection, prevention and neutralization of real and potential threats to national interests. Key words: geopolitical security, geopolitical threats, public administration, national security, social security, COVID-19.
