How should off-campus training react to the “Double Reduction” policy?

After the introduction of the “Double Reduction” policy, off-campus training institutions are under strict supervision. According to the policy details, discipline training institutions confront various problems, such as the closure of listing channels, the substantial reduction of financial income, and the unemployment of the training personnel. By analyzing the current situation of related institutions and their personnel, this study provides meaningful references for discipline training institutions in transformation direction and talent management. Also, it puts forward suggestions for training personnel to change their jobs.

ИНСТИТУЦИОНАЛЬНАЯ СРЕДА УПРАВЛЕНИЯ ГОСУДАРСТВЕННЫМ ИМУЩЕСТВОМ В СОВРЕМЕННЫХ РЕАЛИЯХ

The article presents the results of a study of the current institutional environment for managing state property, considered as an aggregate of basic institutions for managing state property, resulted in the formation and transformation process over the past three decades in Russia in the course of Russian market reforms. The analysis was carried out on the basis of such categories as the institutional environment, the institutional mechanism, which gives us a more relevant picture of the ongoing processes in the field of state property management and the opportunity to determine areas for its further improvement. It is concluded that, even in the context of the extraordinary geopolitical challenges of the 21st century and anti-Russian sanctions, the use of the currently existing fundamental institutions of state property management as a basis for the formation of new mechanisms of state property administration and improvement of the existing ones is quite enough to solve current and long-term socio-economic tasks facing Russia, as well as to achieve our strategic state goals in a changing global environment.

GEOGRAPHICAL ASPECTS OF TRANSFORMATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL COMPONENTS FOR NEW ADMINISTRATIVE DISTRICTS OF VOLYN REGION

Aim. The purpose of this study is a geographical analysis of the anthropogenic transformation of the landscape mosaic of the Volyn region as a result of uncontrolled land reclamation works. The article was a continuation of a series of publications devoted to the study of the processes and consequences of the transformation of the components of the natural environment in the context of the course of administrative and territorial reform in Ukraine. Method. In the scientific work, to take into account the influence of qualitative indicators on the process of transformation of landscapes of the Volyn region under the influence of drainage reclamation, the methodology of P. G. Shishchenko was used. A number of additions were made to the methodology in order to determine the coefficient of anthropogenic transformation of landscapes for calculating the coefficient of transformation of terrain and soils. Forests, meadows and pastures, and arable land in drained areas with an index of the depth of anthropogenic transformation were allocated to separate groups. For eroded lands, the index of the depth of anthropogenic transformation was taken as the same as for lands of industrial use. The results. Ukraine is characterized by a very high level of agricultural development of the territory, however, at the administrative-territorial level - by oblasts, districts, and even territorial communities, there are some differences in this regard. Determining the depth and condition of lands transformed in the process of drainage reclamation provides an opportunity to understand the consequences of the influence of a group of factors on the land fund and encourages the scientific study of various components of the environment. The types of land in the Volyn region, where agricultural land occupies 53% of the total territory and is unevenly distributed, have a colorful palette - it is arable land, and perennial plantations, and hayfields and pastures, etc. One of the consequences of drainage reclamation is the intensive mineralization of the organic part of the soil, so the results obtained using the adjusted method allow for a more differentiated assessment of the state of transformation of the landscapes of the Volyn region. The results are adequate, because there is a connection with the industrial development of territories and the level of use of land resources. The scientific novelty consists in the structural and geographical analysis of the impact of drainage reclamation on the territory of the Volyn region on various types of environment, in particular, relief and soils. The study was conducted for the newly formed administrative districts of the Volyn region in the course of the administrative and territorial reform in Ukraine. Practical significance. The results of the research can be used in the educational process of the Volyn National University named after Lesya Ukrainka, the National University of Water Management and Nature Management, the Rivne Professional Technical College of the National University of Water Management and Nature Management and other educational institutions in the teaching of geographic, economic and tourism disciplines. The results will find their application in the legislative and executive work of local self-government bodies when developing programs for the socio-economic development of territorial communities. Research materials will contribute to the rational use of natural and anthropogenically transformed resources of the Volyn region, which will allow to qualitatively influence the course of administrative and territorial reform. A number of provisions can be used in similar studies of other regions of Ukraine.

Комплексная организация намывных территорий в Санкт-Петербурге

The features of the creation artificial land plots are indicated by legislation in the field of urban planning and cadastre in the Russian Federation at the present stage. However, in the Earth sciences there are no methodological provisions for the integrated organization of alluvial territories. Based on the legal activities and works of scientists on the designated research topic, the authors proposed an approach and a scheme for the integrated organization of alluvial territories. This scheme ensures the integration of urban planning, land management and cadastre institutions. According to the authors, the creation of artificial land plots on a water body should be based on an assessment of the rationality for creating such a plot using multicriteria analysis, which includes three groups of criteria: social, economic, environmental. In addition, the article tests the author's methodological approach to the integrated organization of alluvial territories in St. Petersburg. According to the results of testing, two projects ("New Coast", "Bay of Islands") were recognized as irrational. Thus, it is necessary to approve an integrated approach for the organization of alluvial territories.

The Limiting Indicator of Variables in the Performance Index Modeling for Simple Waterworks

This research intends to evaluate a variable scheme based on the condition of a simple waterworks system in the Brantas river area to obtain the variables that influence each other. This research was conducted in 30 water sources that are distributed in the Brantas river area such as Batu, Malang Regency, Blitar Regency, Jombang Regency, Kediri Regency, Nganjuk Regency, and Tulungagung Regency. The methodology consists of identifying the affected variables to the bron-capturing and to evaluate the indicators that are influenced the variables, then to conduct the statistic test of the indicators to the variables. The research indicators about the performance index model of simple waterworks are obtained through the partial least square (PLS) method. The PLS method is used for evaluating the influenced relationship among the variables that are used in this research, such as the variables of technical, social, and management aspects. The technical aspect consists of physical infrastructure, service, operation, environment damage, and maintenance; the social aspect consists of economy and socio-culture conditions; the management aspect consists of water management institutions, human resources, and monetary aspect. Based on the t calculated analysis of the inner model, where t variable statistic of the technical aspect is 11.632, the social aspect is 3.017, and management aspect is 4.665, each variable has the t calculated higher than t critic (1.682) due to the level of significance (α) = 0.05 or the p value of 0.000, and it is less than the critic value (0.05). Based on the regression analysis, it can be concluded that the technical aspect has the most effect (72.1%) on the performance index model of simple waterworks in the Brantas river area. The second biggest effect is the management aspect (26.7%) in influencing the performance index model of simple waterworks in the Brantas river area. Then, the lowest effect is the social aspect (15.1%) in affecting the performance index model of simple waterworks in the Brantas river area. This result is necessary for supporting the performance index modeling of simple waterworks. Keywords : indicator, variable, bron-capturing, waterworks. https://doi.org/10.55463/issn.1674-2974.50.2.9

Integrated management of water and land resources of the Kyrgyz Republic and characteristics of their use at the present stage

This article discusses topical issues of the current state of water and land resources of the republic and their integrated management. They are one of the main natural resources that ensure the sustainable development of agricultural production and environmental safety in general. At the same time, they have their own characteristics in organizing the rational use and protection of resources. The main feature is that land and water function as single interdependent means of production in the agricultural production process in the foothill and highland relief of Kyrgyzstan. In this regard, the considered issues require a more detailed study and a scientific approach. The country is in dire need of modernization of land and water management. It is necessary to change toward culture and philosophy of attitude to land, to strengthen local land management institutions, complete the formation of the land market, and to treat water resources with care and rationality.

SOME PROBLEMS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS REGARDING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CONTROL FUNCTION OF LOCAL COUNCILS OF PEOPLE’S DEPUTIES

Within a historically short period of time after gaining independence, Uzbekistan introduced its state administration, based on the traditions of national statehood, developed in all respects on the basis of the development of democratic states. In this regard, the state management institutions that should be established, the principles of the separation of powers and the final result that we should achieve in the end were explained in a number of works and pamphlets of our first president, I.A. Karimov[1]. First of all, the legal basis for all reforms in the field of public administration and separation of powers in Uzbekistan was created [2].

Modern approaches to managing the development of the Arctic zone

The issue of the development of hydrocarbon deposits in the Arctic zone belongs to the category of strategic and urgent. Its solution, in fact, is the use of a chance, the implementation of which would allow to overcome the single-industry specialization of the country, reduce the degree of raw materials orientation and solve structural and technological problems to restore the industrial subsystem. Overcoming these difficulties can be accomplished by revaluing the institutions of post-reform Russia and adjusting them in terms of the synthesis of commercial and statistic approaches to industrial policy. The institutional way of research is new (although it currently has wide variability). The authors, in the form of a worker, chose a statement by L. Thévenot regarding the theory of agreements, which states the presence of seven subsystems (“worlds”) in society that participants in economic transactions encounter. In this context, the purpose of the study is to modernize the management model of the Arctic zone, taking into account both the traditions of institutionalism with its ideas about the strong influence of management institutions on the economy, and the directions of new institutionalism with its theory of agreements. At the same time, as a hypothesis, it is noted that achieving the goal involves analyzing the control object taking into account its basic characteristics, reflecting the real fundamental principle in a specific subsystem. The institutional method of research makes it substantively to answer the question of the role of the state in industrial policy: to determine the nature of the model and the degree of intervention, taking into account the features of the functionality of the management object, its belonging to a certain subsystem, role, geopolitical significance, cycle duration and degree of fusion with other participants in inter-economic relations. According to the theory of agreements, the Arctic zone (as well as other regions of the Far North), according to the authors, belongs to the number of management objects that are organically poorly compatible with universal norms of market behavior. Based on the nature of economic relations in the Arctic zone, we note that subsystems of industrial, ecological, traditional and creative activities are immanent for it. Conclusions are drawn that the provisions of the theory of agreements are a convincing argument for an institutional view of the Arctic zone. Therefore, the solution of the issue of transformation of the economic model of the development of hydrocarbon deposits in the Arctic zone in the context of the proposed synthesis of commercial and statistic approaches is of particular importance.

ИНСТИТУЦИОНАЛЬНЫЕ АСПЕКТЫ УПРАВЛЕНИЯ РАЗВИТИЕМ СЕЛЬСКОХОЗЯЙСТВЕННОЙ ПОТРЕБИТЕЛЬСКОЙ КООПЕРАЦИИ

The experience of almost all the leading economies of the world testifies to the exceptional importance of vertical cooperation in ensuring the effective development of the agricultural sector. However, after more than a quarter of a century of its formation, the influence of the modern Russian analogue of this form in the face of agricultural consumer cooperation on the sphere of domestic agricultural production is at best barely noticeable. The main reasons for this situation lie in the imperfection and inefficiency of the institutional component of the management of the cooperative sector. The individual provisions of legislative acts that are put into effect often contradict each other, and sometimes the essential foundations of cooperation. There are cases of lack of consistency of management decisions taken by various executive structures, cases of incoherence of implemented measures at the federal and regional levels, etc. Classification of management institutions of agricultural consumer cooperation based on the proposed methodological approach, combining their grouping by the nature of the impact on incentives and the way of functioning, can be useful as a tool for analyzing and evaluating the effectiveness of these institutions. The criteria of usefulness of management institutions of the cooperative segment of the economy are defined, the generalized indicator of which is the focus on creating favorable conditions for the realization of the advantages of the form due to its essential foundations. The expediency of involving cooperative self-government bodies in the real management of the development of cooperation, including, among other things, delegating certain functions to them, including in the distribution of a certain part of the budget support funds, is argued. The necessity of developing theoretical provisions on the location and stability of the dividing line between the functions of public administration and cooperative self-government is substantiated.

A Combination of Audit Opinion and Sharia Compliance in Increasing Zakat (Charitable Alms) Donor Trust in the National Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) Makassar, Indonesia

The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Growing Importance of Cybersecurity of Data Transfer on the Internet

Information technologies, ICT and Industry 4.0 are developing particularly fast in the fourth technological revolution. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an increase in the scale of digitisation and internationalisation of remote communication processes and various aspects of economic activity. Digitisation of the economy is currently taking place simultaneously in many areas of economic processes and the functioning of many economic entities and public, financial and other institutions. Many companies, enterprises and public institutions that previously operated mostly or solely offline during the pandemic have switched to remote, electronic operation via the Internet. The development of electronic banking is also increasing, including internet and mobile banking. The share of electronic, cashless payments via the Internet and payments with electronic bank cards is increasing. In addition, in recent years, the range of applications of Data Science, Big Data, and Data Analytics technologies in economics, finance and organisation management, including enterprises, financial and public institutions, has been increasing. Therefore, the importance of implementing analytical instruments for advanced processing of large Data Science data sets in enterprises, financial and public institutions is also growing, including the construction of Big Data Analytics platforms to support organisation management processes in various aspects of operations, including improvement relationship with customers. The scale of cybercrime has also increased during the pandemic, as has the importance of improving cybersecurity techniques and instruments.

Nexus Among Public Health Expenditure, Environmental Pollution, Governance and Health Status: Empirical Perspective from Nigeria

The study, empirically examines the nexus among public health expenditure (PHE), environmental pollution, governance (QoG) and health status in Nigeria using annual time series data spanning from 1981-2020. Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach and two stage least square (2SLS) techniques were utilized. Data on PHE, environmental pollution captured by CO2 emission and governance (QoG) measured by corruption perception index (CPI) were regressed on infant mortality rate (IMR) and under five mortality rates (U5MR) as measures for health status. Generally, there is evidence of long-run association between the various variables in the respective model specification. The results reveal (i) a negative and significant effect of PHE on both health status, implying that a 1% increase in PHE reduces IMR and U5MR by 0.03%; (ii) a significant and negative effect of CO2 emissions on health status, which imply that a 1% increase in CO2 emissions will reduce U5MR and IMR respectively by approximately 0.05%. (iii) QoG measured by CPI has a negative though statistically insignificant effect on health status, showing that a percent increase in CPI approximately decreases IMR and U5MR by 0.03%, (iv) a negative and significant effect of GDP per capita on health status which imply that economic growth is associated with an improvement in the health status of the population. Here a percent increase in per capita income reduces IMR and U5MR by 0.43 and 0.49 percentage point respectively. The study recommends that there is need for policymakers in developing countries like Nigeria to aggressively deploy fiscal policy to boost allocations on public health expenditure and ensure progress across all four pillars of sustainable development through good governance devoid of corruption in term of misallocation of public resources, poor management and better institutions as these are essential for both individual and societal well-being..

PERSEPSI MASYARAKAT TERHADAP PERANAN PENOLONG AMIL DAN PEMBANGUNAN PELAN KOMUNIKASI STRATEGIK IPZ

Issues related to zakat management are getting more and more attention from various parties, especially zakat management institutions and scholars in various related disciplines. Among the aspects of zakat management that are still lacking focus is the importance and effectiveness of the assistant amil's role in the process of zakat collection and distribution. The existence of a knowledge gap regarding the importance and effectiveness of the role of amil has caused the public to be less aware and understand the scope of duties and responsibilities of amil assistants. This situation to some extent has caused confusion and misunderstanding which can affect the perception of the community, especially potential zakat payers towards zakat management institutions, and special amil assistants. This study, which uses a qualitative approach, aims to identify the issues and problems faced by amil assistants and their impact on community perception. The results of this study will be used as a basis for formulating a strategic communication plan to shape the public's perception of the importance of the role of amil assistant. Based on the SWOT analysis, it was found that the importance and effectiveness of the assistant's role was influenced by seven issues that became the main problem. The results of the study also show that there is a need to formulate strategic communication initiatives to form a positive perception among the community towards the role of amil assistants. The implications of the study are also discussed in this study.

Innovation of Baznas Rural Microfinance: Economic Stability Solutions in the Middle of the Covid-19 Pandemic

Since the beginning of 2020, precisely in March, Indonesia was shocked by one of the phenomena, namely the Covid-19 pandemic. The deployment and an increasing number of Covid-19 cases occurred rapidly with a tremendous impact (extraordinary) on health, humanitarian, financial system stability and the reduction of the Indonesian economy. At that time, Indonesia experienced a difficult situation. Moreover, the difficulties were faced by the people of Indonesia. Both the state and the people need financial support. One of the largest financial sources in Indonesia, other than taxes, is zakat. Then, effective zakat empowerment needs to be done, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. In the era of the Covid-19 pandemic, such a breakthrough needs to be made by zakat management institutions by looking at the situation and condition of the community. Zakat needs to be managed by a credible institution, such as BAZNAS. BAZNAS is an Islamic philanthropic institution dedicated to empowering the poor with a cultural approach through philanthropic activities (compassion/affection) and prophetic social entrepreneurship. To support this, innovations from zakat management institutions are needed so that the distribution is right on target to people in need. One of the innovations owned by BAZNAS is BAZNAS Rural Microfinance. BAZNAS Rural Microfinance is a program that utilizes zakat for productive businesses for people who are classified as weak (mustahiq) and have a commitment to entrepreneurship. This breakthrough in mustahiq empowerment is one of the programs that aim to meet the basic needs of people affected by Covid-19.

아동학대 대응체계 변화에 따른 아동보호전문기관의 심층사례관리 과제

This study was conducted for the purpose of exploring the current case management performance of child protection agencies after the publicization of the child abuse response system, and finding the future direction as a specialized agency for in-depth child abuse case management. To this end, from July to September in 2021, we conducted individualized in-depth interviews with five public officials in charge of child abuse investigation. The interview questions were about experiences of cooperation between public child protection sector and child protection agencies, expectations of child protection agencies’ role as an in-depth child abuse case management institution, and future tasks for in-depth case management agencies. As a result of the analysis, study participants who represent the public sector expressed various concerns and expectations about the in-depth child abuse case management of the child protection agencies, and suggested the practice competencies and environmental conditions necessary for a successful transition to the in-depth case management institution. Based on the results of the study, the practice competencies and policy strategies necessary for the development of child protection agencies’ in-depth cases management institution were proposed as implications of the study.

Will climate change degrade the efficacy of marine resource management policies?

Climate change is expected to create numerous and significant impacts to the marine environment, with serious implications for marine species, ecosystems, and those who depend on them. In this review we argue that in addition to the biophysical, economic, social, and cultural impacts commonly identified by marine climate research, climate change likely also creates policy impacts — i.e., tangible impacts on the efficacy of resource policy. We use the precautionary approach to fisheries management as a case in point to describe two pathways by which climate change could impact policy efficacy: climate change (i) creates challenges for efforts to assess and contextualize resource statuses, and (ii) complicates the implementation of precautionary policies. We argue that by pursuing anticipatory governance, fisheries management institutions could more fully engage with climate-driven uncertainty and the broad range of scenarios possible in a rapidly changing marine environment.
