Smart, Sustainable, Resilient, and Inclusive Cities: Integrating Performance Assessment Indicators into an Ontology-Oriented Scheme in Support of the Urban Planning Practice

The unprecedented pace of urbanization has been exerting significant strain on cities, raising critical concerns across environmental, economic, social, and technological aspects. In response, the ‘Smart City’ concept has emerged as a novel urban development paradigm, aiming at addressing contemporary urban issues, enhancing cities’ competitiveness and prosperity, and fostering active participation through the strategic utilization of state-of-the-art technologies. However, the smart city term suffers from considerable conceptual ambiguity, thereby provoking intense confusion and misunderstanding among interested parties and leading to the implementation of ineffective initiatives. Moreover, the priorities of sustainability, resilience, and inclusiveness have gained prominence in the urban planning discourse, necessitating a more integrated view that aligns urban targets with performance assessment across various domains. In light of these issues, this study endeavors to clarify the above-mentioned conceptual vagueness by developing a holistic, indicator-oriented smart city ontology. The proposed knowledge representation scheme is intended to serve as a Decision Support Tool that will facilitate policymakers to tackle urban challenges and formulate sound policies. Additionally, it is expected to contribute to the fields of spatial and developmental planning by establishing a standardized framework for assessing and monitoring cities’ performance, while elucidating the complex interrelationships and trade-offs among diverse urban dimensions.

STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS OF STRENGTHENING THE ROLE OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IN IMPROVING PUBLIC HEALTH MANAGEMENT

The paper aims to determine the strategic directions for developing social responsibility within the healthcare sector. The report of the UNESCO International Bioethics Committee on Social Responsibility and Health updates the concept of social responsibility in the context of providing medical care, which forms a new paradigm in the management of health care facilities. In the process of research, both general scientific and special methods were used: analysis of the source base; comparative method for characterizing the subject of research; analysis and synthesis to reveal the features of social responsibility in health care; logical generalization of results (formulation of conclusions). The relations of subjects in health care with respect to compliance with the relevant norms of activity are investigated. The goal is to guarantee patient safety, coordinate stakeholder interests, and manage relationships among various stakeholders. These relationships are represented by an algorithm of actions that healthcare institutions can follow to address the primary conflicts involving interested parties. The corporate social responsibility (CSR) of these institutions is also examined separately. The strategic directions for developing a CSR system are defined as increasing transparency in decision-making, maintaining the institution's reputation, transitioning to a monitoring system, among others. In general, CSR is viewed as a special form of social capital. Additionally, the paper substantiates the importance of interaction with local authorities, providing relevant recommendations for strengthening the social responsibility of healthcare institutions. Based on the obtained results, further research should be aimed at determining the strategic directions of the development of corporate social responsibility.

Legal Force of Certificate of Mortgage Rights Issued Upon the Existence of the Element of Onbeschikking Bevoeg of the Mortgage Grantor Over the Object of Mortgage Rights

The lack of authority of a party that does not have the right to place a mortgage on a creditor, which in the future results in a dispute, whether criminal or civil, has different legal consequences. So, it is appropriate to know the legal strength of proof of the mortgage right certificate in terms of the registration system in Indonesia and the legal consequences of issuing mortgage rights, which occur based on the mortgagor's lack of authority over the object of the mortgage right. The research uses normative research methods with analytical descriptive analysis techniques. The Mortgage Rights Certificate (SHT) has strong evidentiary power if it meets three main aspects. First, the existence of cadastral data plots, namely data related to land conditions, such as location, area, and land boundaries, which are obtained from accurate measurements of land plots. Second, a public register should be created that records the names of land rights holders. The relevant agencies officially manage this general list and are a trusted source of information. Third, implementing a publication system that shows openness of information to the public allows other parties to know the status of land rights. In issuing an invalid mortgage right due to non-compliance with applicable legal provisions, a mortgage right can have no legal force if the party providing the mortgage right is not registered as the legal owner of the object in question. This will cause losses for the party who receives the mortgage right because they cannot rely on the mortgage right to execute the debt if the debtor does not fulfill his obligations. Non-compliance or violation of the authority and provisions governing legal validity can result in serious legal consequences, such as cancellation of mortgage rights, loss of rights to objects guaranteed, or even material losses for interested parties.

Development of Green Policing Index (GPI) in the Context of Solid Waste Management: A Systematic Review

The research explores how green policing at a conceptual level helps control solid waste while promoting environment-friendly practices. Research into fifty-four studies reveals four main aspects of green policing which are law enforcement actions, community involvement, technological advancement, and policy joining. Effective waste management needs all interested parties including law enforcement, neighborhoods, and private companies to work together in a full-circle approach. Enforcing environmental laws helps keep waste management rules in place and blocks illegal disposal while working to protect our environment. People must join together and spread recycling knowledge to create partnerships with local groups while reducing wasteful practices. The research shows that adding GPS tracking and drone technology to waste monitoring enhances the ability to track activities and maintain legal requirements. Strong policy frameworks and governance systems found in Sweden and Germany prove necessary to carry environmental sustainability to national levels. Through the Green Policing Index (GPI), the study recommends a tool to evaluate how green policing programs perform. The tool helps us evaluate our current actions while planning our next steps. Policymakers and authorities now have a workable system to make solid waste management plans that benefit both the environment and everyone.

This study contains a presentation of the latest research results on the register of safe conducts, issued by the Chancellery of the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order, Ludwig von Ehrlichshausen. They went to proscribed people, in most cases accused of committing homicide or causing bodily injury. These people, hiding from the justice system but wanting to clear their names or communicate with the victims or their representatives, resorted to an old custom related to the tour of the state of the Teutonic Order in Prussia by the newly elected Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights. It allowed those who managed to ask the new head of the Teutonic Order for protection during the journey to receive (for a fee) a written safe conduct (letter of safe conduct), guaranteeing the interested parties inviolability in a specific area and for a specific period of time. Thanks to this document, they could start trying to free themselves from the burden of proscription.

Disaster Risk Management and Emergency Response Legislations and Strategies Awareness in Tanzania: A Case of Dar Es Salaam City

This study evaluated major cities’ compliance and awareness to the disaster management and emergency response legislations and strategies in Tanzania with a focus on Dar es salaam city that have experienced persistent undesirable disasters and emergencies that arise from both natural and manmade. The study also focused at actions and programs embarked by the Dar es Salaam City Governments (Ilala, Temeke, Ubungo and Kinondoni) to implement the established disaster and emergency response legislations and strategies in dealing with the challenges identified and their way forward. The outcome of this research was contemplated to significantly assist individuals, community, the local government and other interested parties in dealing with disasters and emergencies, and enhance understanding and compliance and awareness to the disaster management and emergency response legislations and strategies urban and rural dwellers with disaster-resilient. This study deployed descriptive research design and survey to gather information about the research problem under the study. The survey provided quantitative account of views of sampled population and their attitudes, and provided chance to test correlation among population variables of the population samples in which 105 respondents were conveniently selected for this study. The study found that the majority of the population are aware the about the disasters that are likely to occur in their localities and their associated impacts both health and economic impacts, but however they are not satisfied with the strategies implemented by the government to deal with them. The study revealed that, the public officials responsible for emergency response and disaster management in Dar es Salaam are aware about the legislations and plans in dealing with disasters and emergency response but the compliance to them are below average due to various factors like resources constraints, insufficient personnel, low involvement of community, insufficient institutional coordination between emergency responders, insufficient infrastructures that affect response time to emergencies, inadequate urban land use planning and strategies and political influenced decision making. The study proposed that the government have to review and follow up implementation of developed urban land use plans base on disaster risk assessment and management reports, to intensify and provide public awareness campaigns on disaster risk management and emergency response strategies, capacity building to government officials and emergency responders on new urban development technologies and enhance their knowledge and competencies, and to review and establish a coordinated emergency response plans in major cities and establishment of early warning systems with coordinated communication systems among responders.

Dual-roles and beyond: values, ethics, and practices in forensic mental health decision-making.

Forensic mental health services (FMHS) involve restricting certain individual rights to uphold or promote other ethical values - the restriction of liberty in various forms is justified with reference to health and safety of the individual and the community. The tension that arises from this has been construed as a hallmark of the practice and an ever-present quandary for practitioners. Stating this ethical dilemma upfront is a common point of departure for many texts discussing FMHS. But do we run the risk of missing something important if setting the ethical scene rather than exploring it? This paper draws on interviews with three types of interested parties in mental health law proceedings - patients, psychiatrists and public defenders, and seeks to tease out what values are enacted when they describe and discuss experiences of FMHS and court proceedings. In doing so, we find emphasized values such as acceptance, telling it like it is, atonement, normality, and ensuring the future. We find that well-delineated and separate values are not necessarily the basis for decisions. We also find potential for explanation and guidance in bringing ethical discourse closer to everyday practice.

Measuring how healthcare organizations respond after patients experience harm: perspectives and next steps.

Patients can experience serious harm from healthcare, the impacts can be prolonged, and events may also affect families and clinicians. Communication and Resolution Programs (CRPs) are designed to reduce these negative impacts, rebuild trust, and improve patient safety, but are not consistently implemented. To inform implementation efforts, enable accountability, and promote innovation, it is critical to develop standardized performance measures assessing CRPs' structure, process, and outcomes. To advance CRP measurement, an interdisciplinary workgroup from the Pathway to Accountability, Compassion, and Transparency (PACT) Leadership and Innovation Network-a group of leading healthcare organizations with CRPs-explores meaningful approaches to measurement and proposes a set of next steps. Interested parties in CRP measurement prioritize developing person-centered outcome and experience measures; assessing equity; addressing clinician and organization concerns about how CRP measurement may affect reputational and legal risk; reducing the burden of measurement; and improving mechanisms for sharing data across organizations to promote transparency, accountability, and broader patient safety improvements. Recommended next steps include: build a national coalition of interested parties to guide the work; overcome barriers to measurement and improve feasibility, especially through the engagement of patient safety and risk management software vendors; explore measure development processes that focus on patient, family, and clinician-centered outcome and experience measures; define nationally recognized standardized CRP measures; consider the role for regulatory and financial incentives to promote their use; and facilitate data sharing and comparative analysis. Ongoing engagement and strategy will be essential to move CRP measurement forward.

Methodology for the formation of estimated obligations for vacation pay

This article discusses the main approaches used to determine the value of the estimated obligation for the upcoming vacation payment, as well as various tools to improve the accuracy of calculations or reduce their complexity. The correct calculation of estimated liabilities, including for vacation payments, allows interested parties to estimate the full amount of obligations of an economic entity, which in the future will lead to an outflow of funds. In addition, a more accurate methodology for forming estimated obligations will ensure an adequate assessment of the financial result not only in terms of expenses incurred, but also those expenses for which the organization has an unconditional obligation to employees.

Methodology for determining freight indices

The paper considers the issues of quantifying the indicator of the freight market conjuncture and analyzes some basic principles used in calculating freight indices. It is noted that the current geopolitical situation has a significant impact on the general behavior of the global freight market and inevitably leads to temporary restrictions on the functioning of the Russian market, which objectively determines the need to calculate domestic indices based on their own methods. The existing world practice of determining freight indices is considered, as well as the features of the Russian freight market as an integral part of the world market. It is emphasized that the nomenclature of transported goods, the geography of transportation and the parameters of the fleet used are radically different from the world ones, which makes them irrelevant for Russian shipowners mastering export cargo flows from Russia and also that foreign freight indexes are only informative and cannot be used in practical work. The paper shows the structure of the formation of freight rates and identifies the main components of the carrier’s expenses. The structure of the freight rate is the basis for the formation of the proposed methodology for calculating freight indices. The criteria for determining the specific weights of individual sectors of the freight market are considered. The conclusions drawn in the conducted research are supported by analytical data presented in graphical form. The practical use of the presented methodology will allow interested parties involved in transportation to make informed management decisions.

The purpose of this paper is to provide useful insights to researchers, students, and interested parties in the wine industry about the way dominant label information is decoded by consumers. The contribution of this work is to set a specific conceptual framework for wine label information that could be useful in the field of wine communication strategies.

An Enigmatic Wild Passerine Mortality Event in the Eastern United States.

The ability to rapidly respond to wildlife health events is essential. However, such events are often unpredictable, especially with anthropogenic disturbances and climate-related environmental changes driving unforeseen threats. Many events also are short-lived and go undocumented, making it difficult to draw on lessons learned from past investigations. We report on the response to a mortality event observed predominantly in wild passerines in the eastern United States. The event began in May 2021 when wildlife rehabilitators and private citizens reported large numbers of sick and dead juvenile birds, mostly presenting as single cases with neurologic signs and/or ocular and periocular lesions. Early efforts by rehabilitators, veterinarians, state and federal wildlife agencies, and universities helped gather public reports and fuel rapid responses by government agencies. Collective efforts included live bird and carcass collections; submission to diagnostic laboratories and evaluation; information sharing; and coordinated messaging to stakeholders and interested parties. Extensive diagnostic evaluations failed to identify a causative pathogen or other etiology, although congruent results across laboratories have helped drive further investigation into alternative causes, such as nutritional deficiencies. This report highlights the strengths of a multi-agency, interdisciplinary investigation while exposing the need for an operational framework with approaches and resources dedicated to wildlife health.

Globalūs iššūkiai kaip švietimo organizacijų vadovų globalias kompetencijas įgalinantys veiksniai

Changes taking place in the world, such as, i.e. pandemics, immigration, the geopolitical situation, global inclusive education, ecology, in context, and global competencies, which include understanding of the broad context and worldview, communication-based on understanding and respect, ensuring the common well-being, are a set of interdisciplinary and intercultural values and actions based on them, which help to create a successful educational system. The study aims to analyze the factors of global challenges that condition the empowerment of the global competencies of heads of educational institutions. A qualitative approach was chosen for the research - a survey with open questions to reveal diverse viewpoints. Thirty-five heads of educational institutions participated in the study. Latent content analysis was used to analyze the research data. The study results showed that global competence, in the context of the pandemic, was developed by creating networking and cooperation, implementing solutions for transferring education to virtual spaces, promoting the active involvement of students in the educational process, and implementing educational goals. The immigration challenge caused the need for global competencies of education managers in managing the integration and education processes: the institutions faced the language barrier of the interested parties and the lack of interculturality. The global understanding of school leaders, based on the experience of foreign educational institutions, using various measures, is one of the solutions to the global immigration challenge. The challenge of ecological problems encourages the expression of global competencies of school leaders because the lack of infrastructure in educational organizations is experienced - sustainability is achieved through the purposeful use of resources, conservation, and the realization of various ideas in the educational process. School leaders develop global competencies to overcome the challenge of equality and inclusion through project and international activities and cooperation, considering examples of good practice and diversity of opinions.

Implementation of O-RADS Ultrasound Reporting System: A Quality Improvement Initiative.

Objectives: To determine the feasibility of implementing Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting & Data System (O-RADS) ultrasound (US) for reporting of adnexal masses at our institution, with a specific goal of increasing the use of O-RADS from a baseline of <5% to at least 75% over a 16-month period. Methods: A prospective interrupted time series quality improvement study was undertaken over a 16-month period. Plan, do, study, act cycles included: (1) Engagement of interested parties, (2) Targeted educational sessions, (3) Development of reporting templates, (4) Weekly audit-feedback. Inter-reader variability assessment was performed on 70% of O-RADS risk-category 2 to 5. The primary outcome was the reporting of an O-RADS risk category. Results: A total of 635 female pelvic US were performed at our centre between July 2022 and April 2023. An O-RADS risk category was provided on the final radiology report by the radiologist for 489/635 (77%) US. From November 2022 to April 2023, the weekly rate of O-RADS risk category reporting reached 88%. The O-RADS score was concordant between readers for 83/103 (81%) of US reports with kappa score of 0.69 corresponding to good agreement. Conclusions: The reporting of O-RADS risk category increased from <5% to 88% over a 16-month period with a high level of agreement among readers in assigning O-RADS risk category. Implementation of a standardizing reporting ultrasound system at a tertiary cancer centre is feasible with rapid learning and uptake curves.

Manipulation of statistics in information: a worrying practice

Statistics is a very versatile and indispensable tool for analyzing and making decisions in a wide range of areas, such as science, politics and communication. However, it can be manipulated for questionable purposes and generate serious consequences in society as a result of its use. The manipulation of statistics in information produces a distortion of the truth, affecting people's decision-making, individually and in groups, producing: making erroneous decisions, based on false information; economic losses due to investments or purchases based on unfounded information; and, health risks, caused by the lack of important information on safety or effectiveness. To illustrate the case, a methodology based on critical analysis was applied; evaluating and contrasting sources, identifying biases and inconsistencies and selecting validated information, conducting a context search, examining the environment and the variables that influence the statistics and the techniques used to display the data at the convenience of the interested parties. Finally, the ethical and social implications of this manipulation were discussed, as well as possible solutions to prevent and combat it.
