The global and Iranian pandemic crisis of the coronavirus caused the health system to face the problem of insufficient resources. Outpatient convalescence for coronavirus disease is one of the most effective ways to reduce hospital load and costs. In order to set up any position related to the issue of health, it is necessary to formulate the necessary laws, regulations, and standards, in which different levels of decision-making and implementation must play a role. Formulation of goals, laws, coordination, provision of equipment and space, manpower, and cost coverage should be considered in highlighting the role and function of convalescents by the authorities. This study aimed to review the management strategies of coronavirus patients.

The presence of educational institutions as an alternative choice for students.their scientific repertoire is felt quite useful. To further enhance the role and participation. non-formal education institutions in the community then the existence of a public relations figure required. Roles and duties of public relations here to represent the existence and image of educational institutions in addition to addressing all forms of problems related to public relations. The problem that arises is the role and function of a public relations practitioner is perceived not enough role and important then not many educational institutions that set up a separate department for the public relations department. The existence of this public relations should be at the top level of management so that it can provide input at the institutional management level. The concepts used in relation to this writing are related to the functions and roles of Public Relations, Public Relations management strategies and communication strategies of educational institutions. To get a good image is required a good management strategy, one of which is to improve the relationship with the parties that establish cooperation with educational institutions in this case represented by a public relations. Given the importance of role and function public relations then it is appropriate that its presence is also considered in educational institutions.

The Senate Reference is ultimately a decision about how democratic decision making ought to be conducted when the role and function of fundamental democratic institutions are themselves at stake. This case stands for the idea that unilateral decision making by Parliament is not permitted even if from a substantive standpoint the government’s proposals are “more democratic” than the status quo. Consultative elections and senatorial term limits, for example, would arguably make the Senate a more representative and accountable body. Yet the Court held that such changes are subject to the Constitution’s general amending formula, which means that Parliament cannot implement these changes on its own. This article suggests that the Court’s interpretation of the amending procedures is based upon a deeper democratic commitment to ensuring dialogue and deliberation between and among the relevant stakeholders. The Court’s approach has benefits and drawbacks. By setting itself up as the exclusive arbiter of the Constitution’s “internal architecture” and the primary decision-maker as to what constitutes an institution’s “fundamental role and nature”, the Court has enhanced its own authority over the evolution of the constitutional order while significantly narrowing the possibilities for constitutional change. While the Court’s approach has the undeniable effect of making large-scale institutional reform difficult (if not impossible), the alternative is arguably worse. If it were possible for the government to unilaterally reform democratic institutions, then it could unilaterally reform them in an anti-democratic direction as well.

"Established to manage the art collections of one of Auckland city’s former businessmen, the Mackelvie Trust Board has operated for over 125 years. The Trust was set up to administer James Tannock Mackelvie’s(1824−85) collection of European paintings, books, decorative arts and objets de vertu including bronzes, clocks, coins and natural treasures now held at the Auckland Art Gallery, the Auckland War Memorial Museum and the Auckland Public Library. This article will explain how part of the collection came to be at the Auckland War Memorial Museum, how the Trustees administered the will, and how the Trust Board itself evolved to include professional expertise. The impact of this evolution on Mackelvie’s gifts and bequest and the collection’s development is one of the most important findings. After an evaluation of the collection’s management over time, it is concluded that while the Mackelvie Trust Board has always endeavoured to implement Mackelvie’s wishes, financial and physical restrictions led to certain compromises regarding control and display of the collection. Nevertheless, the Trustees have always acted in good faith and protected Mackelvie’s legacy for the enjoyment of future generations of Aucklanders and visitors to the city."

The SRM is an institutionally complex system in which it is unclear which actor is to be held legally accountable. The reason for this complexity flows from the fact that the exercise of powers is spread over a multitude of actors at different levels. Within the SRM's framework, we find both vertical and horizontal cooperative links. In relation to the vertical links, EU actors take the main decisions, while the implementation is left to national actors. Horizontal cooperative links at the EU level are also present as EU institutions and an EU agency have to act together in composite administrative procedures. This institutional set-up results in unclarity as to where responsibility lies. If legal protection is to be provided against decisions resolving significant banks, it has to be clear who should be held responsible in legal review procedures. The article's aim is to examine what issues of legal review exist and to analyse where the de facto decision-making, and thus legal responsibility, lies within the SRM's framework.

This chapter examines the reform of financial services regulation in the UK. The objective of the UK's most recent regulatory reforms has been to strengthen the role and function of the Bank of England at the centre of the UK financial system. This was considered necessary, in particular, in light of the need to monitor and manage the financial markets as a whole. The chapter outlines the regulatory background to the establishment of the integrated system of financial control set up under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 and its amendment, in particular, under the Banking Act 2009, Financial Services Act 2010, and Financial Services Act 2012 (FSA 2012). It also considers the principal events surrounding the financial crisis in the UK and the immediate official response to it. Finally, it discusses the role and function of the Bank of England under the revised regulatory structure.

Abstract The study was drawn to investigate an unusual form of 'industrial democracy', in Fiocruz, the Brazilian public research organisation in the health field, linked to the Ministry of Health. It is a single case study research making use of two contrasting cases: Embrapa and Pasteur Institute. The former is the Brazilian public research organisation in the agriculture field, similar to Fiocruz in space; and the latter is the French public research organisation for health, similar to Fiocruz in the field. The investigation works with the triangulation of methods approach, combining the analysis of quantitative and qualitative methods aiming at an in-depth analysis of the decision-making and the strategic planning processes of these research-led organisations. For this purpose, two exclusive tools were created and applied to their management boards and key actors. The first tool, an online questionnaire, was applied to the management boards; the second tool, a face-to-face interview, was made with the key actors. The findings were examined considering the literature, whose results supported the analysis of the context of each organisation and their strategic plans. The research revealed an original approach to industrial democracy by Fiocruz, based on a concept postulated by Arouca, which underpinned the creation of SUS, the Brazilian National Unified Health System: 'Democracy is health'. It represents a paradigm shift in the way the health concept is addressed, by adding a political dimension to it, which includes the citizenship, the free self-determination, the capacity of mastering the future. This unique approach to industrial democracy underpins the decision-making and the strategic planning of Fiocruz, revealing that it is, in fact, a new type of public research organisation; thus, questioning the validity of the existing framework concerning such entities. Key messages Democracy is Health is an original conceptual approach postulated by Arouca, which underpinned the creation of the Brazilian National Unified Health System. Fiocruz is the Brazilian Public Research Organisation in the Health field, whose unique administration approach questions the literature in the field.

Abstract. Hypoxia has become a world-wide phenomenon in the global coastal ocean and causes deterioration of structure and function of ecosystems. Based on the collective contributions of members of SCOR Working Group #128, the present study provides an overview of the major aspects of coastal hypoxia in different biogeochemical provinces, including estuaries, upwelling areas, fjords and semi-enclosed basins, with various external forcings, ecosystem responses, feedbacks and potential impact on the sustainability of the fishery and economics. The obvious external forcings include fresh water runoff and other factors contributing to stratification, organic matter and nutrient loadings, as well as exchange between coastal and open ocean water masses; their different interactions set up mechanisms that drive the system towards hypoxia. However, whether the coastal environment becomes hypoxic or not, under the combination of external forcings, depends also on the nature of the ecosystem, e.g. physical and geographic settings. It is understood that coastal hypoxia has a profound impact on the sustainability of ecosystems, which can be seen, for example, by the change in the food-web structure and system function; other influences can be compression and loss of habitat, as well as change in life cycle and reproduction. In most cases, the ecosystem responds to the low dissolved oxygen in a non-linear way and has pronounced feedbacks to other compartments of the Earth System, hence affecting human society. Our knowledge and previous experiences illustrate that there is a need to develop new observational tools and models to support integrated research of biogeochemical dynamics and ecosystem behaviour that will improve confidence in remediation management strategies for coastal hypoxia.

In Australia, educational research and the training of educational researchers has, traditionally, been considered a university function. An analysis of educational journals, grants for research in education, and the values expressed by decision making bodies regarding the place of the colleges of advanced education in educational research suggests that despite the changing role and function of the CAEs, the university system still dominates educational research. As long as present attitudes and conditions exist, it is unlikely that the situation will change significantly.

Abstract Background For evidence-based decision-making, there is a need for quality, timely, relevant and accessible information at each level of the health system. Limited use of local data at each level of the health system is reported to be a main challenge for evidence-based decision-making in low- and middle-income countries. Although evidence is available on the timeliness and quality of local data, we know little about how it is used for decision-making at different levels of the health system. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the level of data use and its effect on data quality and shared accountability at different levels of the health system. Methods An implementation science study was conducted using key informants and document reviews between January and September 2017. A total of 21 key informants were selected from community representatives, data producers, data users and decision-makers from the community to the regional level. Reviewed documents include facility reports, district reports, zonal reports and feedback in supervision from the district. Thematic content analysis was performed for the qualitative data. Results Respondents reported that routine data use for routine decision-making was low. All health facilities and health offices have a performance monitoring team, but these were not always functional. Awareness gaps, lack of motivating incentives, irregularity of supportive supervision, lack of community engagement in health report verification as well as poor technical capacity of health professionals were found to be the major barriers to data use. The study also revealed that there are no institutional or national-level regulations or policies on the accountability mechanisms related to health data. The community-level Health Development Army programme was found to be a strong community engagement approach that can be leveraged for data verification at the source of community data. Conclusion The culture of using routine data for decision-making at the local level was found to be low. Strengthening the capacity of health workers and performance monitoring teams, introducing incentive mechanisms for data use, engaging the community in data verification and introducing accountability mechanisms for health data are essential to improve data use and quality.

The obvious external forcings include freshwater runoff and other factors contributing to stratification, organic matter and nutrient loadings, as well as exchange between coastal and open ocean water masses. Their different interactions set up mechanisms that drive the system towards hypoxia. Coastal systems also vary in their relative susceptibility to hypoxia depending on their physical and geographic settings. It is understood that coastal hypoxia has a profound impact on the sustainability of ecosystems, which can be seen, for example, by the change in the food-web structure and system function; other influences include compression and loss of habitat, as well as changes in organism life cycles and reproduction.
