Functional Areas

As a result of the study it was found that the issue of determining the components of information sovereignty of Ukraine and their legal nature can be considered from two main approaches: the separation of functional areas (aspects) of information sovereignty or the separation of its system elements. In particular, the information sovereignty of Ukraine as a complex category of information law, the elements of which reflect various forms of information and areas of its manifestation in modern society, in the most general form includes the following functional aspects: information-humanitarian and information-technological. The information-humanitarian component of information sovereignty includes three aspects: national (people's), state and personal, and is primarily related to the informational identification of a person, nation and state and the establishment of information links between them. These aspects can be detailed through cultural, ideological, spiritual components and so on. The information-technological component is realized through the concept of digital sovereignty and is associated with cyberspace – environment resulting from the interaction of people, software and services on the Internet using technological devices and networks connected to them, which does not exist in any physical form. But to identify the components of information sovereignty in terms of its system elements, identifying information sovereignty with information policy or in particular with information security, we consider it impractical, because the relevant elements – information resources, information processes and their subjects, etc. are components of the information sphere.

Purpose People experiencing homelessness are high-users of hospital care in Canada. To better understand the scope of the issue, and how these patients are discharged from hospital, a national survey of key stakeholders was conducted in 2017. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach The Canadian Observatory on Homelessness distributed an online survey to their network of members through e-mail and social media. A sample of 660 stakeholders completed the mixed-methods survey, including those in health care, non-profit, government, law enforcement and academia. Findings Results indicate that hospitals and homelessness sector agencies often struggle to coordinate care. The result is that these patients are usually discharged to the streets or shelters and not into housing or housing with supports. The health care and homelessness sectors in Canada are currently structured in a way that hinders collaborative transfers of patient care. The three primary and inter-related gaps raised by survey participants were: communication, privacy and systems pressures. Research limitations/implications The findings are limited to those who voluntarily completed the survey and may indicate self-selection bias. Results are limited to professional stakeholders and do not reflect patient views. Practical implications Identifying systems gaps from the perspective of those who work within health care and homelessness sectors is important for supporting system reforms. Originality/value This survey was the first to collect nationwide stakeholder data on homelessness and hospital discharge in Canada. The findings help inform policy recommendations for more effective systems alignment within Canada and internationally.

ObjectiveTo explore experts’ views on factors influencing national and global active case-finding (ACF) policy development and implementation, and the use of evidence in these processes.DesignThis is an exploratory study based on semistructured expert interviews. Framework analysis was applied.ParticipantsThe study involved a purposive sample of 39 experts from international, non-governmental and non-profit organisations, funders, government institutions, international societies, think tanks, universities and research institutions worldwide.ResultsThis study highlighted the perceived need among experts for different types of evidence for ACF policy development and implementation, and for stakeholder engagement including researchers and policymakers to foster evidence use. Interviewees stressed the influence of government, donor and non-governmental stakeholders in ACF policy development. Such key stakeholders also influence ACF policy implementation, in addition to available systems and processes in a given health system, and implementers’ motivation and incentives. According to the interviewees, the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for systematic screening face the innate challenge of providing guidance to countries across the broad area of ACF in terms of target groups, settings and screening algorithms. The guidelines could be improved by focusing on what should be done rather than what can be done in ACF, and by providing howto examples. Leadership, integration into health systems and long-term financing are key for ACF to be sustainable.ConclusionsWe provide new insights into ACF policy processes globally, particularly regarding facilitators for and barriers to ACF policy development, evidence need and use, and donor organisations’ influence. According to expert participants, national and global ACF policy development and implementation can be improved by broadening stakeholder engagement. Meanwhile, using diverse evidence to inform ACF policy development and implementation could mitigate the ‘power plays plus push’ that might otherwise disrupt and mislead these policy processes.

The paper documents the development of a collaborative regeneration strategy for a marginalised community in Cape Town that was led by a Non-Profit Company (NPC). NPC’s vision for the strategy was to incorporate key inputs from the community to unlock the economic potential of the area and promote upliftment. A case study methodology was adopted which included a series of interviews and community engagement workshops. The research aimed to identify the key ingredients required to drive collaborative urban regeneration in marginalised communities in the global south. The study established that in the absence of effective leadership and service delivery from local authorities the community feel disenfranchised as their community is not seen as an immediate priority. There was a deep-rooted mistrust in the process being driven by the NPC and the visioning process was met with resistance and suspicion. The engagement process lacked depth/scope and reflected a top-down approach. It is concluded that fundamental ingredients for effective collaborative urban regeneration is trust between the key stakeholders, a diverse assortment of expertise and skills, and an in-depth engagement process. Without these factors urban regeneration is likely to only entrench the complex urban issues it seeks to reconcile.

Abstract Darwin's frogs Rhinoderma darwinii and Rhinoderma rufum are the only known species of amphibians in which males brood their offspring in their vocal sacs. We propose these frogs as flagship species for the conservation of the Austral temperate forests of Chile and Argentina. This recommendation forms part of the vision of the Binational Conservation Strategy for Darwin's Frogs, which was launched in 2018. The strategy is a conservation initiative led by the IUCN SSC Amphibian Specialist Group, which in 2017 convened 30 governmental, non-profit and private organizations from Chile, Argentina and elsewhere. Darwin's frogs are iconic examples of the global amphibian conservation crisis: R. rufum is categorized as Critically Endangered (Possibly Extinct) on the IUCN Red List, and R. darwinii as Endangered. Here we articulate the conservation planning process that led to the development of the conservation strategy for these species and present its main findings and recommendations. Using an evidence-based approach, the Binational Conservation Strategy for Darwin's Frogs contains a comprehensive status review of Rhinoderma spp., including critical threat analyses, and proposes 39 prioritized conservation actions. Its goal is that by 2028, key information gaps on Rhinoderma spp. will be filled, the main threats to these species will be reduced, and financial, legal and societal support will have been achieved. The strategy is a multi-disciplinary, transnational endeavour aimed at ensuring the long-term viability of these unique frogs and their particular habitat.

Information processes, as well as information resources, manage information of varying degrees of importance for the enterprise. In this regard, the protection of such information is one of the most important procedures in the field of state security, the importance of which is growing every year. The problem of information security – the reliable provision of its safety and the established status of use – is one of the most important problems of our time. The paper considers the existing standards in the field of information security audit. The author has developed an innovative model of audit of the information security system based on the comparison of demand measures of order no. 21 of the FSTEC of Russia and ways of implementation in the subsystem of the information system of personal data protection, the recommendations for inspections of specific measures of protection and used technology audit technical means. The developed method is tested on the example of conducting an audit in “Lama” LLC company. The choice was made to establish the compliance of the organization’s personal data protection system with the requirements of order no. 21 of the FSTEC of Russia. Recommendations have been developed to eliminate the existing shortcomings and inconsistencies by re-equipping the anti-virus protection subsystem and the subsystem of inter-network shielding and protection of communication channels.

Informacinės visuomenės plėtotės kontekste visuminis požiūris į informacijos valdymą dažniausiai remiasi informacijos kaip ištekliaus, turinčio vertę ir naudą, apibrėžtimis. Tai leidžia suvokti informacijos išteklius ir jų valdymą kaip priemonę institucijos, organizacijos strateginėms pozicijoms stiprinti bei pasitelkiant modernias informacines technologijas užtikrinti efektyvų vartotojų informacinį aprūpinimą. Viešasis sektorius, kuris apima įvairias valstybės ir savivaldybių išlaikomas institucijas, veiklos procese apdoroja įvairaus pobūdžio informaciją, kuri turi užtikrinti ne tik efektyvią institucijų veiklą, bet ir informacijos sklaidą. Prieigos prie viešosios informacijos didinimas turi reikšmingų ekonominių ir socialinių pasekmių, kai viešojo sektoriaus informacija padeda sukurti pridėtinę vertę ir atneša papildomų pajamų ir pelno verslo subjektui. Šio tyrimo tikslas – apibrėžti teorines informacijos valdymo paradigmas, išanalizuoti ir įvertinti Lietuvos ministerijų informacinę veiklą.Reikšminiai žodžiai: informacijos valdymas, viešasis sektorius, ministerijos, informacijos ištekliai, informacinės sistemos, informacinės veiklos planavimas, informacijos sklaida, informacinės veiklos kontrolėInformation management in the public sector: Lithuanian ministries caseZenona Atkočiūnienė, Erika Janiūnienė Summary In the information society context, the holistic ap­proach to information management often refers to in­formation as a resource. This attitude allows to under­stand the information resources management as a tool to strengthen the institution’s and organization’s strate­gic positions and to ensure customers of the effective information supply using modern technologies. The public sector processes different types of information to maintain the effective functioning of the state and municipal institutions. Access to public information increases the economic and social effects by offering additional revenues and profits to a business entity. The aim of the study was to define the theoretical informa­tion management paradigms, to analyze and evaluate information processes in Lithuanian ministries. The qualitative analysis (experts’ interviews in Lithuanian ministries) indicated that there are no co­herent information resources management policies and strategies; information management and coor­dination responsibilities aren’t concentrated in one institution; Lithuanian ministries use different in­formation systems which create the interoperability problem and cannot provide an effective information dissemination among the ministries; public relations departments or the appropriate professionals are responsible for information services and products (reviews, analytical reference materials, reports); control of information processes is concentrated in information technology operations and its safety and archival documents’ management audit.
