Policy Implementation of the No Advance House Program at PTPilar Ksatria Tidar Nusantara

Implementation of the Policy through the housing program without down payment, the company hopes to be able to catch up with the increasing demand for housing. Based on this, the authors can formulate this research problem, namely: How is the policy implementation of the house program without down payment at PT. Pilar Ksatria Tidar Nusantara Knights and what factors led to the implementation of the zero down payment housing program policy at PT. Pilar Ksatria Tidar Nusantara. In research on the implementation of subsidized housing, it was analyzed using the theory of Donald Van Meter and Van Horn (Suharsono, 2005:99) with six variables that affect implementation performance, namely: 1) Policy standards and targets, 2) Resources, 3) Inter-organizational communication and reinforcement activities, 4) Characteristics of implementing agents, 5) Economic, social and political environment 6) Attitudes of executors. The research approach that the authors use is descriptive qualitative, using key informants. Based on the results of the study that: 1) the implementation of the no-down payment housing program policy at PT. The Ksatria Tidar Nusantara pillar is good, as evidenced by the statements of both users and non-users who say this program is good and very useful for the community and 2) External constraints, namely the implementers involved in implementing the subsidized KPR program also experience various obstacles that External constraints do not only occur in policy implementers but also in society as the target group. These constraints include administrative problems such as KTPs that are not recorded at Disdukcapil, NPWP which has problems with entrepreneurs whose businesses have not been taxed while the conditions are that they must have an NPWP, as well as domiciles that do not match their original place of residence. Furthermore, the constraints on complaints from the public are related to communication which they feel has not reached them and other community acknowledgments such as some who feel that the entry fee is still too high even though it has been subsidized by the government.

Land administration of agricultural organization in market conditions of new land policy in Russia

The work is about land administration system in Russia in conditions of restoration of land as the main real estate of agricultural production. The size and structure of land for sustainable and efficient production have to meet the objectives of production and mostly determined by the availability of other production resources. Solving this problem begins with obtaining reliable and sufficient information about amount and quality of available land resources, labor, and equipment. Further, the balancing of the main production resources is carried out, which makes it possible to establish the necessary measures for the change and development of land resources of an agricultural organization. Unlike previous periods, significant features are associated with the restoration of the function of land as property. The difficulties in organizing the use of land resources are connected with the fact that agricultural organizations use land plots belonging to other legal entities and individuals to solve their production problems. In addition to environmental and economic, it also provokes legal problems of land administration.

Ombudsman, Tribunals and Administrative Justice in the Journal of Social Welfare and Family Law

ABSTRACT This editorial introduces the new editor of the Journal’s Ombudsman, Tribunals and Administrative Justice section; highlights the editorial team’s four strategic priorities for the section; and identifies four research priorities which the editorial team wishes to promote. For strategic priorities, the first is developing ‘applied administrative justice’ scholarship consciously directed at resolving practical administrative justice problems. Second is growing the connections between the Journal and civil society organisations, including those working on the frontline with individuals and communities most exposed to, and dependent on, public bodies. Third is expanding the interdisciplinary reach and content of the section, particularly to mental health and accounting. Fourth is encouraging early career researchers to become more involved in the section. As to research priorities, the editorial team identifies four themes: money and administrative justice, encouraging researchers to grapple with the financial benefits of their proposals and the effectiveness of different funding mechanisms; mental health and administrative justice, particularly through engaging with the fields of ”therapeutic jurisprudence” and ”law and emotion”; new technologies and administrative justice, particularly how virtual delivery changes experiences of public bodies; and hybridity and administrative justice, examining the complicated range of publics, privates, and charitables involved in modern public service delivery.

Prescription-free consultation: A cross-sectional study in general practice

In 2005, 10% of consultations in France ended without a prescription. In 2019, a review of the literature found 30 to 70% of prescription-free consultations in Northern Europe and 10 to 22% in Southern Europe and underlined the scarcity of quantitative data. Different factors contribute to this heterogeneity, such as product availability and status, modes of management, distribution channels, clinical practice recommendations, public policies targeting certain classes, etc. The main objective of our study was to quantify the rate of prescription-free consultations in general practice in France in 2021. The secondary objective was to characterize prescription-free consultations and analyze their determinants. This was a quantitative observational study conducted using self-questionnaires among patients in medical practices in Auvergne. Out of 540 questionnaires, the rate of prescription-free consultations was 24% (95% CI [20.11-27.41]). Prescription-free consultations were for prevention, administrative problems, and gestures. The limiting factors are "feeling a need for a medication" (OR=0,006), "not knowing if a medication is needed" (OR=0.11) and "consultations for acute reasons" (OR=0.33). Acute consultations limit prescription-free consultations. General practitioners (GPs) probably overestimate patients' expectation of drug prescription. The French GP must be supported in their decision to not prescribe drugs. This is a long-term investment of time, to educate patients and avoid new consultations for acute reasons. A tool to help doctors manage non-prescription during acute consultations will be created in a future study in France.

Low Carbon City (LCC) Governance through Administrative and Operational Approaches by Malaysian Local Government

In Malaysia, the current practice of delivering low-carbon city approaches usually is administered and managed by the planning department in each local authority. However, this current practice may also lead to the problem of unorganized institutional administration and management. Simultaneously, the Malaysian government, through Low-carbon City Master Plan, has mentioned the need for governance restructuring for low-carbon city delivery. Therefore, this paper aims to evaluate the practice of Low Carbon City (LCC) in terms of administrative and operational practices. Three (3) objectives were established for this study; (i) assessing the governance for low-carbon city approaches and; (ii) examining the operational practices of LCC initiatives at the local level, and (iii) determining the application of policies and strategies for low-carbon development by the local authority. The study applies the purposive sampling approach, using the technique of an in-depth interview with two (2) core local authorities endeavoring on low-carbon development in the state of Selangor; Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) and Subang Jaya City Council (MBSJ). The result of this study shows that the governance of low-carbon cities can be categorized into three (3) main dimensions: administrative, operational, and policy application. From the administration feature, the findings indicated that the current administration practice needs to be restructured to enable a more effective delivery system. Moreover, the current way of delivering a low-carbon city was ineffective due to long-standing systems, coordination among the agencies, and the feasibility of the strategies planned to achieve the low-carbon status. Since this study converges on the governance aspect from the perspective of the local authority, future research may look deeper into the whole framework involving the delivery support system, contributing to the effectiveness of low-carbon delivery practices.

Formation of new social-group communities on the territory of the municipality with low initiative citizens in conditions of conduction of SMO

The article is devoted to the consideration and transformation of social and administrative problems of municipalities with low initiative of citizens. The empirical basis was the data of sociological research (surveys), conducted by the author in the urban district of Krasnoturinsk (Sverdlovsk region) before and after the announcement of partial mobilization. In the course of the study the social problems of the territory, the level of trust in the local authorities, interaction with them, as well as the dynamics of changes in these aspects under the influence of key political factors, in particular, the special military operation in Ukraine were considered. Activity and activity-activist approaches were applied, which allowed us to study the state of society in the context of radical changes as well as to study the formation and activity of socio-group communities on the territory of the municipality in the conditions of special operation. The author conducted expert interviews with officials of the Administration of the Northern Administrative District, the Administration of the City District of Krasnoturyinsk, the Chairpersons of the Public Chambers of the Serov and Krasnoturyinsk City Districts, and the representatives of newly-created local communities: Committee of Soldiers' Mothers of Serov urban district and veterans' organizations of Krasnoturinsk urban district on their interaction with the authorities and the settlement of conflicts. The study showed that even with low citizen initiative, the presence of an external factor (partial mobilization) stimulates residents to make decisions on social problems outside the competence of local government, while forming new social institutions, local communities. The author concludes that in the realities of the special operation, in addition to those existing on the territory of the municipality, new local communities, social institutions emerge, providing conditions of organizational and stimulating nature of further action, whose representatives, as leaders of public opinion, can claim to be included in the Public Chamber of the municipality during the subsequent selection procedures. This opens up another mechanism for identifying leaders of public opinion in a municipal territory with low citizen initiative to effectively organize the interaction between citizens and local government through the Public Chamber of the municipality, which, in turn, can both further contribute to relieving social tensions in the conditions of SSE, and in general improve the quality of life in the municipal territory.

A Denial a Day Keeps the Doctor Away

Abstract Who bears the consequences of administrative problems in health care? We use data on repeated interactions between a large sample of U.S. physicians and many different insurers to document the complexity of health care billing, and estimate its economic costs for doctors and consequences for patients. Observing the back-and-forth sequences of claim denials and resubmissions for past visits, we can estimate physicians’ costs of haggling with insurers to collect payments. Combining these costs with the revenue never collected, we estimate that physicians lose 18% of Medicaid revenue to billing problems, compared with 4.7% for Medicare and 2.4% for commercial insurers. Identifying off of physician movers and practices that span state boundaries, we find that physicians respond to billing problems by refusing to accept Medicaid patients in states with more severe billing hurdles. These hurdles are quantitatively just as important as payment rates for explaining variation in physicians’ willingness to treat Medicaid patients. We conclude that administrative frictions have first-order costs for doctors, patients, and equality of access to health care. We quantify the potential economic gains—in terms of reduced public spending or increased access to physicians—if these frictions could be reduced and find them to be sizable.

Perceptions of College Principals and Faculty Members Regarding Administrative Problems and Job Performance

Efficient administration of educational institutions is vital for their advancement and growth. Principals play a key role in providing conducive environment for instruction and students’ academic achievement. This study aims to examine the viewpoints of college principals and faculty members regarding the challenges faced in administration and their performance as college principal. A quantitative approach was used to investigate this research problem, employing a descriptive survey design to gather and analyse data. The research study focused on principals and faculty members from government degree and postgraduate colleges for boys and girls in the Malakand Division, Pakistan. A sample of 140 faculty members and 28 principals was selected by using stratified random sampling technique. Data from the participants were collected by using a self-developed questionnaire, which was validated by a panel of experts and its reliability was found through Cronbach’s alpha values which were found for administrative problems and job performance as 0.732 and 0.856 respectively. The study results showed that college principals faced various administrative problem included problems related to teaching and learning process, lack of availability of resources, maintaining good relationship with community, lack of financial resources, lack of capacity building programmes, and political interference. These administrative problems in turn effect lack of exhibiting instructional leadership, evaluating teachers and students’ performance, maintaining conducive working environment, preparing and utilizing budget, and implementing policies. Capacity building and continuous professional development programmes may be worthwhile strategies for improving the administrative, managerial and leadership roles of college principals.

Preparation and Physicochemical Evaluation of Injectable Sustained-Release Risperidone by Lipid Liquid Crystal Vehicle

Introduction: Risperidone is a highly effective medicine in patients with mental disorders. Since maintaining blood concentrations of risperidone within the therapeutic index is pivotal during treatment, these patients should receive medication daily and continuously. Method: In this study, an optimal lipid liquid crystal was designed according to the maximum release for 60 days based on different ratios of phosphatidylcholine (PC) to sorbitan monooleate (PC:SMO), tween 80 (w/w%), and tocopherol acetate (w/w%) using Design Expert software with the Central Composite Design (CCD) method. Release evaluations were conducted in vitro to compare the effects of lipid liquid crystal and Risperdal CONSTA®. The structure evaluation was also tested using polarized electron microscopy and in vitro assessment via cell culture. Results: The optimal formulation was selected based on the maximum release (100%) of the drug obtained within 2 months with a PC: SMO ratio of 58.6%, tween 0.82% (w/w), and tocopherol acetate 3.6% (w/w). A hexagonal mesophase with a dihedral structure was observed in the liquid crystal structure. No toxicity was observed in the cell culture test. Conclusion: The comparison of the results of in vitro studies of the liquid crystal formulation containing risperidone and the commercial formulation, Risperdal CONSTA®, showed that the liquid crystal system provides better and more uniform drug release for 60 days. Therefore, it can increase patient compliance and ease the problems of oral administration

The Validity of The Marriage Guardian in The Case of Elopement in The Perspective of Islamic Law

The purpose of this study is to discuss the view of Islamic law on the validity of marriage guardians in cases of elopement. The research method used is a qualitative method with normative juridical. Data collection was carried out by observation and interview techniques for three elopement pairs and with the head of the local KUA. The results and discussion showed that the elopement factor occurred due to the parents' disapproval of the bride and groom's wedding plans. The disapproval was caused by financial unpreparedness and not being old enough for the bride and groom. The impacts caused are in the form of internal family problems, problems in state administration and social problems. The three elopement couples were married in the absence of a guardian who obtained guardianship permission from the guardianship of the nasab. In addition, marriages are performed without applying for marriage dispensation to religious courts because three of the six are minors. So it can be concluded that both religiously and legally in Indonesia, the marriage of the three couples is invalid.

PRACTICAL ASPECT OF HOSPITALITY STAFF CREATIVITY

The subject of the study is the theoretical and applied aspects of the formation of creativity of personnel in hospitality industry establishments. Methodology. In the research process, general and special research methods were used, in particular: general and special scientific methods – to ensure the achievement of this goal; abstract-logical and dialectical methods of analysis – to substantiate theoretical propositions and conclusions. The method of collecting information – a sociological survey – was used for the practical identification of the research results. The aim of the article is to determine the main aspects of personnel creativity formation and its impact on the success of hospitality establishments. The results of the study showed that the key qualities of human creativity are the production of ideas, adaptation and flexibility to changes, the ability to take risks, and the creativity of personnel helps to solve administrative problems in the organization, adaptation and flexibility to changes, increases the level of competitiveness of hospitality industry establishments in a competitive environment. Conclusions. Human creativity is manifested not only in a person's ability to produce new ideas, solutions, projects, but also in flexibility, adaptability to environmental conditions that arise in the process of life. The management of hospitality institutions should pay more attention to the process of training their employees, improving their qualifications in order to gain a deeper understanding of the concept of human creativity, which will allow the team, based on the knowledge gained, to clearly understand how to show their creativity. Today, in the conditions of war in Ukraine, the situation of the state in general indicates a high level of creativity of employees in the hospitality sector, because flexibility and adaptation to changes, production of new ideas, self-education in conditions of war are the best indicators of the activity of institutions in terms of the level of creativity of personnel. Motivation for creativity should be both internal and external, because employees who feel internal motivation to perform tasks are doing work for pleasure and out of their own interest or desire to overcome a particular individual challenge, and external motivation is associated with external incentives, goals, or pressures that can motivate an employee to perform a particular task. The process of managing the creativity of employees in catering organizations should be preceded by a step-by-step method of determining the ability of employees to think creatively and whether the management style is typical for a given organization today. Only after the analysis of these factors it is necessary to formulate methods of stimulating the development of creativity of employees. The results of the study show that the most effective methods of stimulating the creativity of employees in the hospitality industry are the management's trust in the employees, the ability to listen to their ideas, joint team-building activities, and care for the physical health of the employees.

The Importance of State Capacity in the Fight Against Corruption

This study examines the importance of state capacity in the fight against corruption. Corruption is an important problem in the exercise of political power. For this reason, good governance requires the fight against corruption with more transparency in the relationship between the private sector and politicians/administrators, efficient and effective bureaucracy, clear legal frameworks, and strengthening institutions that implement independent power control. In other words, an effective fight against corruption and good governance requires a strong state capacity. State capacity is an important characteristic of statehood. In this context, the execution of the security function of a state -(monopoly) control of the means of violence and effective law enforcement- is a prerequisite for overcoming political and social problems. After all, a state is characterized as a strong state if it can ensure security throughout the country and take and implement political decisions and has capacity to turn public will into action. The argument of the study addresses the meaning and importance of the state capacity in the effective, efficient, and coordinated implementation of public policies and in the fight against administrative and social problems such as corruption.

FABRICATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF DISSOLVING MICRONEEDLE PATCH OF BUTORPHANOL TARTRATE

Objective: Butorphanol is a commonly used medication for the management of postoperative pain and suffers low bioavailability and high first-pass metabolism. The objective of the current studies was to develop a butorphanol tartrate-loaded dissolving microneedle patch to overcome the limitation of first-pass metabolism without causing any discomfort to the patient. Methods: Butorphanol tartrate-loaded microneedle patch was prepared using Lapox resin micro-molds. The microneedle patch was optimized using the box-Behnken design and the quantity of PVA, HPMC K4M, and HPMC K15M was optimized and evaluated for fractured axial force, microscopic evaluation, in vitro drug permeation studies, and ex-vivo permeation experiments. Results: The developed microneedle patch meets all the evaluation parameters within the desired range. The height and tip diameter of the microneedles were found to be 700 µm to 800 µm and 60 µm to 61 µm. An axial fractured force of the optimized microneedle patch was found to be 189.67 N, suitable for penetrating the stratum corneum. The in vitro cumulative % drug permeated showed the permeation of the drug for 8 h with a total of 89.12 %, which shows the permeation of the drug occurred in a controlled manner. Conclusion: Butorphanol tartrate-loaded microneedle patch was successfully developed and the results concluded that the microneedles were hard enough to pass the stratum corneum and release the drug into the systemic circulation without reaching the pain receptors; further, the release study suggested that the drug was released for a prolonged period eliminating the problem of first-pass effect and frequent administration.

Как зажигали «солнце над хмурой страной»: А.М. Горький во главе Пушкинского Комитета

In the article, based on unknown documents from the Archive of A.M. Gorky IMLI RAS, and the Russian State Archive of Contemporary History, the little-studied part of A.M. Gorky’s work on the preparation of the 100th anniversary of the death of A.S. Pushkin is investigated. The All-Union Pushkin Committee, created by the initiative of Gorky in 1934, played the important role in this event. Gorky’s activities as the head of the Pushkin Committee covered four areas: the publication of books, the installation of monuments to the poet, the restoration of estates and apartments associated with Pushkin’s stay, and finally, the organization of the Pushkin exhibition. Particular attention is paid to the publishing activities of the Pushkin Committee. With the direct participation of Gorky, three collected works of Pushkin were prepared (at the Academia publishing house and at the Pushkin House). The interference of party officials in the work of the Pushkin Committee, as well as excessive bureaucratization in decision-making, led to the contradictory and spasmodic nature of its work: decisions were revised, the membership of the Committee changed, periods of inactivity were replaced by periods of vigorous activity. The problems of bureaucratic delays and tough administration in the decisions of the country’s leadership regarding the Pushkin Memorial Days are illuminated.
