Informational and legal aspects of protection of critical infrastructure of Ukraine

This paper is committed to the problems of legal regulation of critical infrastructure protection. It has been determined that the legal provision of protection of critical infrastructure has positive aspects, but at the same time it is affected by problems in public administration. The implementation of the provisions of the legislative act at the level of by-laws is rather slow. Informational and legal aspects of critical infrastructure protection determine the presence of a problem fields. The problems of legal regulation are caused by the complex nature of the information infrastructure, which causes difficulties in legal regulation. Another important aspect is finding a balance between the protection of critical infrastructure information and the government’s “open data” policy. This also causes difficulties for the policy of transparency and accountability in public administration. The specified problems cause a negative impact on legal regulation. Finding ways to solve this problem is an important task for law-making and legal science.

Discussion of Emotions Among Newly Diagnosed Non-Hispanic White and Chinese American Patients With Breast Cancer and Their Oncologists.

This qualitative study analyzed how Chinese American (CA) and non-Hispanic White (NHW) breast cancer patients and their oncologists communicated about patients' emotional concerns. Data included twenty-four recordings of clinical encounters between oncologists and four CA and eight NHW women with a new breast cancer diagnosis between 2013 and 2015. Using an interactional sociolinguistics approach to discourse analysis, we examined how CA and NHW patients and their oncologists initiated conversations about patients' emotions. We also categorized oncologists' responses by whether oncologists turned toward, turned away, or remained neutral to patients' emotions. When bringing up emotions with oncologists, NHW patients brought up social and personal life topics, whereas CA patients only brought up biomedical topics. We also observed that oncologists initiated discussions about emotions with only English-speaking patients of both racial groups. There were no observed differences in how oncologists remained neutral to or turned away from both CA and NHW patients' emotional expressions. When oncologists turned away from patients' emotions, they did so to solve administrative or biomedical problems. In conclusion, the findings suggest that CA patients' racial backgrounds and the language spoken during the encounters may influence how patients and oncologists initiate discussion about patients' emotions. Furthermore, the findings suggest that oncologists remain neutral and turn away from CA and NHW patients' emotions in similar ways. This study provides preliminary data for more comprehensive investigations of Asian American cancer patients' actual communication with their providers regarding emotions and treatment decisions to facilitate patient-provider communication quality.

DISCIPLINARY MATRIX OF THE SCIENCE OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION AS A METHODOLOGY TOOL

The article reveals the importance of the disciplinary matrix of the science of public administration as a methodological tool in the relevant field of knowledge in the context of solving the dilemma «state administration – public administration». Arguments are given in favor of the fact that the disciplinary matrix of the science of public administration is important for uniting the community of scientists who unite around the problems of public administration and the formation of its methodology. The components of the latter include values, beliefs, fundamental knowledge organized into a terminological system, principles, methods and approaches of scientific research in the field of public administration science and public administration practice. In this regard, it is claimed that the disciplinary matrix has two structural components: a) a social submatrix, which indicates the affiliation of the community of scientists to a specific science (discipline); b) methodological sub-matrix as a system of certain methodological rules within the given discipline, which are followed by the scientific community. It is shown that the use of the concept of public administration and the terminology derived from it largely ignores the requirements of the already formed disciplinary matrix and the previously outlined prospects for its development. This situation, firstly, erodes the structure of the social submatrix, and secondly, violates the logic (unity) of the already formed methodological submatrix. The mentioned discussion, in the opinion of the author, can be constructive and promising in the event that in its process the existing shortcomings of the already formed methodological submatrix will be revealed, and its terminological apparatus will be supplemented with new concepts that are consistent with the existing realities of state management practice. In this regard, it is emphasized that there is no need to create a new disciplinary matrix based on the concept of «public administration». The disciplinary matrix based on the concept of «public administration» should remain the key starting point for solving the «state administration – public administration» dilemma. This task should be implemented based on the results of fundamental research of the new terminology, its codification and standardization in accordance with the requirements of the methodological submatrix of the science of public administration, coordination with the administrative and legal systems of Ukraine.

Quality Regulation in the Global “Wine Periphery”: The Case of Late Imperial Rio de Janeiro (1880–1889)

ABSTRACT This article explores the consequences of the phylloxera crisis on Rio de Janeiro’s wine market, the resulting public health debate, and the administrative problem of quality regulation and consumer protection. As a peripheral market with relatively low purchasing power, the Brazilian capital became a destination for many cheap imitation wines from Europe and also developed its own artificial wine industry. By the mid-1880s this led to a fierce competition on Rio’s wine market, which in turn provoked an unprecedented public debate about wine qualities and public health. Thus, the article shows that the problem of food safety, brought to public attention by the wine question, occupied a central place on the health agenda of the medical profession as well as the government and health authorities in late Imperial Brazil, triggering regulatory interventions that followed European models.

Management strengthening strategies for transport cooperatives: a case study in Riobamba

Contamination in Heat Exchangers: Types, Energy Effects and Prevention Methods

Exchangers are thoroughly used equipment for heat transfer. These equipment play a climacteric role in variegated business administration and buildings by providing heat exchange between two fluids. However, over time, exchangers can be subject to variegated problems such as contamination and sediment build-up. This can diminish heat transfer efficiency, leading to energy waste and equipment malfunctions. Calcification is a problem that comes off when water becomes saturated with hard minerals and exceeds the solubility of these minerals. These minerals precipitate as a consequence of water evaporation or chemical reactions and form a solid layer called limestone. Limescale can bring variegated problems in homes, business administration, and water transportation systems. Lime accumulates on heat transfer superficies, reducing the superficies area of ​​these superficies. This reduces the superficies area available for heat transfer and inhibits heat transfer. The thermal conductivity of lime is lower than water. Scale, which is the formation of a scale layer on heat transfer superficies, reduces the thermal conductivity of these superficies and prevents heat transfer. This study focuses on the types of contamination in heat exchangers, the effect of contamination on heat transfer and other factors, and methods of clogging.

Examining Soft and Hard Attributes of Health Care Service Quality and Their Impacts on Patient Satisfaction and Loyalty.

Many studies have confirmed the influences of various service quality dimensions on patient satisfaction and loyalty, but no existing theoretical model accounts for variation in how different types of patients evaluate service quality's soft and hard attributes. This research gap may cause problems for administrators needing to decide how to distribute resources appropriately across multiple departments. Therefore, this study establishes a theoretical model of the differences between inpatients' and outpatients' evaluations of hard and soft qualities and compares such evaluations' influences on patient satisfaction and loyalty. Also, to supplement statistical analysis and respond to scholars' calls for more mixed-methods studies of health care quality, this research incorporates analysis of online reviews to provide a holistic, close to real-time picture of patients' service experience perceptions. This study's survey sample comprised 292 inpatients and 137 outpatients from a Taiwanese hospital. We used partial least squares structural equation modeling to test the hypothetical model and importance-performance map analysis to identify factors that were significant to the service process but performed poorly. Finally, we used a text-mining technique to scrape 536 reviews posted on Google Maps, and Leximancer Portal to perform automated content and sentiment analyses on those data, as a means of mapping the critical concepts and themes that influenced patient experiences. This study's analyses support the ideas that both hard and soft qualities are critical dimensions of service quality, and that each has different influences on inpatients' and outpatients' satisfaction and loyalty. Specifically, the sampled inpatients strongly valued the hard qualities of the hospital but were not satisfied with it. On the other hand, soft qualities attracted outpatients' attention and influenced their satisfaction and loyalty. In addition, content analysis revealed that soft qualities were the main reason patients left comments, whether positive or negative. Waiting time emerged as another critical element in triggering patients' unfavorable reviews. Patient population type, whether inpatient or outpatient, has been found to impact perceptions of service quality within health care institutions. As such, health care administrators should be cognizant of this phenomenon and make informed and tailored decisions when addressing quality within their respective services. Emphasis on the development of both interpersonal and professional skills among health care personnel may prove beneficial in enhancing the patient experience and ultimately fostering positive online reviews.

The Inconspicuous Epidemic: Spanish Flu Discourse in National Newspapers of Soviet Russia (1918–1919)

This research investigates the discourse of the so-called ‘Spanish flu’ in the national Soviet newspapers Pravda (Truth) and Izvestia (News) during the epidemic period of 1918–1919. Our analysis revealed that discourse developed in three stages, each with specific characteristics. The nature of discourse was, above all, impacted by ideological factors, while reporters and Bolshevik authorities promoting this type of discourse were primarily guided by political expediency. Lack of adequate and comprehensive information on the disease, its etiology, and its spread not only around the world but also in Soviet Russia, administrative and bureaucratic problems, and simultaneous epidemics of other infectious diseases (cholera and typhus) were also significant factors.

Analyzing the Problems of a District-Based Administration Using Monte Carlo Simulation: The Case of Sex Offender Notifications in Korea

The problems of administrations based simply on administrative units that do not consider the operational purposes of the system have been consistently discussed. For example, in the Republic of Korea, sex offenders’ information is distributed via physical mail only in a few regions, a practice that is too rigidly based on the boundaries of the administrative ‘Dong’ of the offender’s residence. This implies that citizens in an adjacent building will not be notified if their Dong is different. Therefore, this study analyzed the problems of an administrative system that does not consider its realistic scope by using the case study of sex offender notifications. By expanding the distance from children and youth grids, we ascertained the extent of the problems with sex offender notifications. Additionally, to determine whether these problems have occurred by chance at a specific point in time or if there has been a fundamental limitation in the system, the Monte Carlo simulation was applied to compare the actual and random data of residences.
