Key Aspects of Implementation of Participatory Budgeting Model in Georgian Municipalities

The article, based on the latest literary sources and factual materials, consistently studies such an important issue of financial theory and economic practice as the key aspects of implementing participatory budgeting in Georgian municipalities. The factors affecting the effectiveness of the implementation of the participatory budgeting model are discussed: the urban structure of the municipality, the size of the budget of the municipality, and the development of civil society. It is determined that any model of participatory budgeting should adhere to the following principles: model design and implementation procedures should be based on good management principles; The selected procedures should take into account the specific context of a particular municipality, including urban structure, budget size, and population participation; At the planning stage, active actors of the model, interested parties should be identified and their rights and duties defined; The model should fully comply with the legislation of Georgia and the established forms of citizen participation. Based on the international experience and the reality of Georgia, the factors affecting the effectiveness of the implementation of the participatory budgeting model are discussed: the urban structure of the municipality, the size of the municipality’s budget, and the development of civil society. It stands to reason that any participatory budgeting model should have, as a minimum, the following working procedures: population group meetings, information campaigns, development and submission of project proposals, voting, and final decision, and Evaluation of participatory budgeting process and work procedures.

Exploratory study from an end-of-life research partnership network to improve access for ethnically diverse communities in one region.

Minority ethnic patients are less likely to access timely and effective palliative and end-of-life care and, as a consequence, more likely to experience poorer symptom management and receive more intensive treatments at the end of life. Research activity has the potential to address the aforementioned barriers to improve access. However, there is a need to develop capacity and capability, particularly within underserved communities, to provide an infrastructure that can drive research activity informed by the community to benefit the community. To build and develop a robust, inclusive and representative research partnership to facilitate improved research activity committed to addressing inequity in access to palliative and end-of-life care among ethnically diverse communities. An inclusive and representative KEEch research Partnership NETwork was established, comprised over 80 partner organisations that represent the local diverse and multifaith communities. Interviews (n = 11) with service providers and face-to-face roundtable workshops with community stakeholders, service providers, informal carers and faith leaders were conducted to understand needs, challenges and research priorities. Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Milton Keynes, United Kingdom. Developing KEEch research Partnership NETwork required a flexible and agile approach to engage effectively with institutionalised and non-institutionalised stakeholders. Sharing a joint purpose of learning, managing partners' expectations and providing transparency and accountability within the network were all essential in building trust and equity within the research partnership. The overarching findings revealed a range of sociocultural and structural barriers that negatively impact access and experience among minority ethnic groups. Discussions centred on the disconnect between informal care and support within the community, which many ethnic minority communities rely upon, and 'institutional' medical services. KEEch research Partnership NETwork uncovered that while service providers and communities acknowledge they need to engage with each other more, they remain uncertain of the best way to achieve this. There was also consensus that services need to deliver more effective, culturally competent, person-centric care that promotes compassion and gives weight to non-medical needs to better meet the needs of the diverse population. These findings and priorities have informed the submission of a co-produced research funding proposal. Beyond that, KEEch research Partnership NETwork has also provided a platform for further unplanned spin-off research projects and collaboration, including the implementation of an innovative 'community connector' role to facilitate better integration of community and voluntary services in palliative and end-of-life care. KEEch research Partnership NETwork has provided valuable insight into factors that can facilitate the successful collaboration between multifaith and diverse community stakeholders. Through KEEch research Partnership NETwork, we offer our observations as an opportunity for shared learning for others who want to adopt a similar approach when in the planning stages of establishing a research partnership network. The mutual benefit of developing this partnership and working collectively with communities to address inequalities in accessing palliative and end-of-life care could provide a useful approach and way of solving other important priorities to reduce wider health inequalities. This article presents independent research funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Health and Social Care Delivery Research as award number NIHR135381.

Understanding the Meaning of Loneliness and Social Engagement for the Workings of a Social Network Intervention Connecting People to Resources and Valued Activities.

Addressing loneliness, which is associated with poor mental and physical health, implicates the need for connectivity to a broad set of situated relationships and activities in the contexts of people's everyday lives. Social engagement has been identified as a relevant psychosocial mechanism mediating health and wellness and is central to addressing loneliness. The aim here is to explore the way in which people identified as lonely conceptualise their experiences of loneliness and social engagement for the purposes of incorporating these into the design and workings of an intervention that allows people to map their social networks and connect them to community-based valued activities. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were undertaken with 20 participants, aged 21-82 years old (mean age 59.7) nested within a pragmatic, community-based randomised controlled trial in the north and south of England. Participants had wide-ranging social network sizes (from 1 to 10 individuals) and reported variable impact of loneliness on their lives. Loneliness consisted as an absence of intimacy in the face of being surrounded by others, a sense of entrapment and boredom, lacking access to meaningful activities and difficulties in relating to others. The analysis highlighted the role that important relationships have in mediating loneliness. Individual readiness, skills and confidence in forming new connections and engaging with new activities are important barriers that exist in overcoming loneliness. For many, wider socio-political factors, such as transport provision, availability of resources and costs associated with social engagement are also important barriers which are difficult to overcome. Exploring the link between feelings, experiences and meaning of loneliness and the way in which a network intervention can be incorporated offers a focus for mediating the richness and opportunities that arise from locality-based connections and collective activities in the broader social environment. However, any intervention seeking to address loneliness requires a further focus on both individual and relational factors which might contribute to addressing loneliness and increasing a sense of wellness. The study team worked closely with community partner organisations in all aspects of this research, including, the submission of the funding proposal, development of the study protocol and procedures, recruitment, intervention deployment and assessment of implementation. PPI representatives provided advice on participant materials and interview schedules, and project management throughout and contributed to management and steering committee meetings.

Capital budgeting for electrical engineering projects: A practical methodology

The paper presents the capital budgeting process and identifies key elements in the process. A standardized approach in capital budgeting by application of information technology resources for both proposal submission and documentation becomes key to success in handling large volumes. An electrical engineering distribution system design project involves the application of engineering codes and standards to stay compliant and provide safe design and construction. A model starting with proposals acceptance to evaluation and approval of capital projects was presented. The proposal stage was decoded further into assessments of the existing electrical infrastructure based on aging and engineering standards. Upon review of the standards, the proposals were accepted for evaluation and approval. For business professionals, there is a gap when working in an electrical engineering construction industry when it comes to knowing applicable engineering standards and their application. This research filled that gap by enlisting the intent of the standards review process. Although the focus was on understanding a holistic approach to electrical engineering projects, a detailed analysis of specific tasks may be designed based on the model presented in this paper. Additionally, the transmission side of projects will have a similar application of capital budgeting.

The realization of equity in ABMTs, including MPAs, under the BBNJ agreement for marine ecosystem resilience strength in the climate change context

Conservation and sustainable utilization of marine biodiversity in the context of climate change are unavoidable issues for the international community. The BBNJ Agreement, which regulates equity, is being opened for signature as an implementation agreement of UNCLOS after years of international negotiations. The ABMTs, including MPAs, are regulated by the BBNJ Agreement. The role of ABMTs, including MPAs is closely related to climate change response. Its approaches include building ecosystem resilience in response to climate change stress. When interpreting and implementing articles concerning ABMTs, including MPAs, equity should be followed. To what extent do the interpretation and implementation of these articles reflect equity? According to the VCLT, ‘Common action’ and ‘special consideration’ are representative elements of equity. Under the indicators of ‘common action’ and ‘special consideration’, some articles related to the submission of proposals, decision-making, implementation, monitoring, and review processes of ABMTs, including MPAs, are formulated with ambiguous expressions. These ambiguous expressions may not be conducive to the contracting parties fully adhering to equity in the interpretation and implementation of ABMTs, including MPAs. To address these ambiguous expressions, the contracting parties may implement subsequent practices, based on the VCLT. First, the contracting parties may ask the STB to stipulate that the consultation procedure may be concluded after a certain time. Second, the contracting parties may clarify the positioning of particularly affected contracting parties in measuring the efforts exhausted to reach a consensus. Third, the contracting parties may make a declaration. The declaration could indicate that the disproportionate burden in the implementation of the ABMTs, including MPA measures imposed under the objectives, should be considered in supporting developing states.

Pengembangan Wisata Bahari Berkelanjutan melalui Partisipative Approach di Desa Busung Kecamatan Teupah Tengah Kabupaten Simelue

Simeulue Island is one of the archipelago areas that has the charm of a very potential marine tourism destination. To optimize sustainable tourism, cooperation and a collaborative role are needed in the development of marine tourism. One of the marine tourism locations is located on Busung beach, Busung Village, Teupah Tengah District, Simeulue Regency. Busung Beach has the allure of the sea and a beautiful stretch of sand, but the natural charm it offers is not utilized properly by the Simeulue Regency government. The lack of optimal waste management, the faulty belief system of the community which thinks that development on the beach will only provide one-sided benefits, the lack of enthusiasm of the community in developing beach tourism, the problem of human resources which are still minimal in tourism management are basic problems that must be overcome by the government. The aim of the research is to find out how to develop sustainable marine tourism through a participation approach in Busung village. This research was carried out using qualitative methods with a qualitative descriptive approach. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the development of sustainable marine tourism in Busung Village is still at the consultation level, namely that there has been two-way communication between the Simeulue Regency Government and the Busung Village Government but it is still a formality. The essence of the consultation is that several activities have been carried out, such as gathering aspirations through meetings facilitated by the Teupah Tengah District Government, field visits by the Disbudpar, submission of proposals for the development of Busung beach tourism. These efforts have not had a good impact on marine tourism in Busung Village.

Sistem Informasi Bimbingan Tugas Akhir Mahasiswa menggunakan Model SDLC Berbasis Iconix Process

The final thesis assignment plays a crucial role in enabling students to meet the graduation requirements from college. However, the process of scheduling guidance for the final assignment between students and lecturers still relies on several common applications such as WhatsApp or email, which are not specifically designed for this purpose. The accumulation of incoming messages and various types of message information poses a challenge in the guidance process, leading to missed messages between students and lecturers and a lack of recorded information regarding the history of the process and guidance materials. These are some of the current issues. This paper aims to evaluate the functionality, quality, and reliability of the system by conducting black box testing on the application developed for the student final project guidance information system. This application uses the Iconix process-based SDLC (system development life cycle) model, covering student and lecturer profile information, guidance information, proposal submission, progress of the final thesis assignment, meeting schedule, guidance material, discussion forum, survey evaluation, and contact information. The SDLC model is employed in this research because it can effectively and efficiently achieve project targets, enhance software quality standards, and assist in better risk management and adaptation to change. The model comprises planning, needs analysis, design using the Iconix process, implementation, system testing, and maintenance. The Iconix process is utilized for system design modeling and analysis. Black box testing is performed on the system to verify that the system’s functional requirements are operating correctly. The findings of this research can serve as a control for management in the service and administration of final assignment guidance in higher education.

Specifics of Implementation of the Main Forms of Interaction Between Public Authorities in the National Security System: Theoretical and Practical Aspects

The article is dedicated to disclosure of theoretical and practical aspects of the specifics of implementation of the main forms of interaction of public authorities in the national security system. Based on the results of the study, the author identifies the peculiarities of interaction of public authorities in the national security system and offers the author’s own understanding of this interaction. It is argued that public authorities in the national security system exercise their power and administrative powers through managerial influence on objects, the external expression of which takes the form of managerial measures. The author also offers her own understanding of the essence of the forms of interaction between public authorities. It is determined that the main forms of interaction between public authorities in the national security system are: joint development, submission of proposals and issuance of regulations in the field of national security; exchange of information on real and potential threats to national security; joint study of the state of protection of national interests and development of measures to stop real and potential threats to national security, as well as elimination of the causes and conditions of their occurrence; joint operations with the aim of preventing/stopping real and potential threats to national security. The author provides recommendations for improving the practical implementation of interaction between public authorities in the national security system by amending the relevant legislation and consolidating the general principles of interaction between security and defense sector actors, introducing the practice of periodic joint events on various topics with greater consideration of empirical experience, and strengthening technical protection during the exchange of restricted information.

Correlation Between the Cost and Safety of Corneal Graft Types.

Background Corneal diseases are the fourth most common cause of blindness worldwide. In the majority of these diseases, vision reduction is reversible and can be restored to a large extent by replacing the cornea through specific surgery and, in particular, transplantation. In Greece, due to a lack of organized eye banks as well as donors, the grafts intended for corneal transplantation usually come from eye banks abroad. This study focuses on the dynamics of cost versus value in the decision-making process for the procurement of corneal grafts, ultimately investigating the safety that the procured grafts provide to patients. Methodology A total of 267 patients with severe vision problems who underwent 301 corneal and amniotic membrane transplants from years 2020 to 2023 at the Transplant Unit of the Athens General Hospital "Georgios Gennimatas" were included in this study. All patients who were deemed appropriate to undergo corneal transplant operations, the diagnosis that led to the specific surgery, and other relevant data were recorded and evaluated. Results There was no significant difference in the ratio between males and females (51.3% male and 48.7% female). The mean age of the patients was 66.5 years (SD = 13.7 years). Graft problems were faced by 13.9% of the patients, with the amniotic membrane by 1.5% (in the total number of surgical operations) and both eyes by 4.5% of patients. The majority of the patients had undergone only one surgery (88.8%). Reoperation was needed in 14% of the cases, and 7.6% of the cases were surgeries that occurred due to graft rejection or non-functioning grafts from surgeries performed at another hospital or clinic. In the majority of surgeries (60.8%), a Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty graft was used. The mean cost was 3,167 euro (SD = 960.3 euro). Furthermore, in 35.8% of the surgeries, the graft was preserved with amphotericin. Conclusions The present study draws useful conclusions about the effectiveness of surgical interventions through the correlation of cost and safety of the grafts that are approved and finally used in corneal transplants, as well as the submission of proposals to improve the procedures and lead to patient benefits.

Evaluating a research methodology workshop among postgraduate students using Kirkpatrick's model.

In this era of evidence-based medicine, only systematic research can help in providing judicious and precise healthcare to individual patients based on updated knowledge and skills. However, many medical professionals do not feel competent and confident enough to conduct research. One of the reasons could be the lack of a research-based curriculum in undergraduate courses. The National Medical Council has also stressed the need for formal training in research methodology for healthcare professionals. The research methodology workshops help to familiarize the participants with basic, clinical, and translational research required to impart optimum patient care. The objective of our study was to evaluate a research methodology workshop conducted for postgraduate students by assessing the participant's knowledge, feedback, and expected impact using Kirkpatrick's evaluation model. A quasi-experimental, single-group study was conducted among 132 first-year postgraduate students. The four levels of Kirkpatrick's model were applied for evaluation. Feedback forms, scores of the pretest and posttest, quality of the research proposal drafted by the postgraduates for their thesis, and finally successful submission of the research proposal were the components used to evaluate the four levels of outcome of Kirkpatrick's model. Data collected were compiled and tabulated into MS Excel. Proportions were calculated for categorical variables and mean and standard deviation (SD) for scores. A comparison of means between pre- and postworkshop scores was made with paired t-test. A value of P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Statistical analysis was done using IBM SPSS Statistics version 20.0 software. Out of 132 participants, 29% (38) were males and 71% (94) were females. The mean ± SD pretest and posttest scores at a 95% confidence interval were 10.55 ± 2.537 and 12.43 ± 2.484, respectively. The difference was found to be statistically significant by paired sample t-test (P < 0.001). Participant feedback is vital for improving research methodology workshops. The workshop met the overall requirements of the participants. There was a significant improvement in the knowledge of participants after the workshop completion.

Science with the ASTRI Mini-Array: From Experiment to Open Observatory

Although celestial sources emitting in the few tens of GeV up to a few TeV are being investigated by imaging atmospheric Čerenkov telescope arrays such as H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and VERITAS, at higher energies, up to PeV, more suitable instrumentation is required to detect ultra-high-energy photons, such as extensive air shower arrays, as HAWC, LHAASO, Tibet AS-γ. The Italian National Institute for Astrophysics has recently become the leader of an international project, the ASTRI Mini-Array, with the aim of installing and operating an array of nine dual-mirror Čerenkov telescopes at the Observatorio del Teide in Spain starting in 2025. The ASTRI Mini-Array is expected to span a wide range of energies (1–200 TeV), with a large field of view (about 10 degrees) and an angular and energy resolution of ∼3 arcmin and ∼10 %, respectively. The first four years of operations will be dedicated to the exploitation of Core Science, with a small and selected number of pointings with the goal of addressing some of the fundamental questions on the origin of cosmic rays, cosmology, and fundamental physics, the time-domain astrophysics and non γ-ray studies (e.g., stellar intensity interferometry and direct measurements of cosmic rays). Subsequently, four more years will be dedicated to Observatory Science, open to the scientific community through the submission of observational proposals selected on a competitive basis. In this paper, I will review the Core Science topics and provide examples of possible Observatory Science cases, taking into account the synergies with current and upcoming observational facilities.

Accessibility of clinical study reports supporting medicine approvals: a cross-sectional evaluation

ObjectivesClinical study reports (CSRs) are highly detailed documents that play a pivotal role in medicine approval processes. Though not historically publicly available, in recent years, major entities including the European Medicines Agency (EMA), Health Canada, and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have highlighted the importance of CSR accessibility. The primary objective herein was to determine the proportion of CSRs that support medicine approvals available for public download as well as the proportion eligible for independent researcher request via the study sponsor. Study Design and SettingThis cross-sectional study examined the accessibility of CSRs from industry-sponsored clinical trials whose results were reported in the FDA-authorized drug labels of the top 30 highest-revenue medicines of 2021. We determined (1) whether the CSRs were available for download from a public repository, and (2) whether the CSRs were eligible for request by independent researchers based on trial sponsors’ data sharing policies. ResultsThere were 316 industry-sponsored clinical trials with results presented in the FDA-authorized drug labels of the 30 sampled medicines. Of these trials, CSRs were available for public download from 70 (22%), with 37 available at EMA and 40 at Health Canada repositories. While pharmaceutical company platforms offered no direct downloads of CSRs, sponsors confirmed that CSRs from 183 (58%) of the 316 clinical trials were eligible for independent researcher request via the submission of a research proposal. Overall, 218 (69%) of the sampled clinical trials had CSRs available for public download and/or were eligible for request from the trial sponsor. ConclusionCSRs were available from 69% of the clinical trials supporting regulatory approval of the 30 medicines sampled. However, only 22% of the CSRs were directly downloadable from regulatory agencies, the remaining required a formal application process to request access to the CSR from the study sponsor.

Development of a Laravel-based Publication, Research and Community Service Information System

The need for accurate data is really needed when departments or faculties are to be accredited, and to map lecturers who will have the opportunity in the following semester to carry out research or community service. Due to differences in data held by departments, faculties, or data at the LPPM (Institute for Research and Community Service), different data can occur due to lack of discipline in lecturers who have carried out research and service to collect reports to departments, faculties, or to LPPM. To facilitate reporting of research and community service activities by lecturers to the Department and to management, an information system is needed that can improve research and community service performance. The system development method used in this research is the SDLC (System Development Life Cycle) method. The SDLC method uses a system approach called the waterfall approach, which uses system development stages, namely requirements analysis, design, coding, system testing and support stages (maintenance), using the PHP programming language and MySQL database. The research results show that the information system developed makes it easier to manage and organize data from lecturers' research, service and publications and can help lecturers, departments and faculty leaders in obtaining the information they need online and in real time. It can be concluded that the Prisma Information System fully supports the submission of service research proposals, a faster and easier process, safer data and guaranteed credibility, dynamic configurability, more responsive design, and assistance documentation, as well as other new features.
