Migrants’ access to healthcare has attracted attention from policy makers in Thailand for many years. The most relevant policies have been (i) the Health Insurance Card Scheme (HICS) and (ii) the One Stop Service (OSS) registration measure, targeting undocumented migrants from neighbouring countries. This study sought to examine gaps and dissonance between de jure policy intention and de facto implementation through qualitative methods. In-depth interviews with policy makers and local implementers and document reviews of migrant-related laws and regulations were undertaken. Framework analysis with inductive and deductive coding was undertaken. Ranong province was chosen as the study area as it had the largest proportion of migrants. Though the government required undocumented migrants to buy the insurance card and undertake nationality verification (NV) through the OSS, in reality a large number of migrants were left uninsured and the NV made limited progress. Unclear policy messages, bureaucratic hurdles, and inadequate inter-ministerial coordination were key challenges. Some frontline implementers adapted the policies to cope with their routine problems resulting in divergence from the initial policy objectives. The study highlighted that though Thailand has been recognized for its success in expanding insurance coverage to undocumented migrants, there were still unsolved operational challenges. To tackle these, in the short term the government should resolve policy ambiguities and promote inter-ministerial coordination. In the long-term the government should explore the feasibility of facilitating lawful cross-border travel and streamlining health system functions between Thailand and its neighbours.

Many developed and developing countries are at the core of the security and peace agenda concerning rising defense expenditure and its enduring sustainability. The unremitting upsurge in defense expenditure pressurizes the government to rationally manage the resources so as to provide security and peace services in the most efficient, effective and equitable way. It is necessary to forecast the defense expenditure in India which leads the policy makers to execute reforms in order to detract burdens on these resources, as well as introduce appropriate plan strategies on the basis of rational decision making for the issues that may arise. The purpose of this study is to investigate the appropriate type of model based on the Box–Jenkins methodology to forecast defense expenditure in India. The present study applies the one-step ahead forecasting method for annual data over the period 1961 to 2020. The results show that ARIMA (1,1,1) model with static forecasting being the most appropriate to forecast the India’s defense expenditure.

Public services are services, both in the form of public goods and public services which are the responsibility and are carried out by the government in an effort to meet the needs of the community and in accordance with statutory provisions. One of the public services provided by the government is the One-Stop Administration System (SAMSAT). According to SAMSAT data in the city of Magelang, data on motorized vehicle ownership has increased and there has been an increase in the number of taxpayers. However, the tax payment service is considered to be less than optimal because there are still long queues when paying taxes.This also causes many people to make payments past the due date or entrust queues to brokerage services. Therefore, to overcome the problem, a mobile-based application (GO-PAJAK) was built which can be used to make tax payments by means of a vehicle document pick-up to pay motor vehicle taxes connected between drivers (SAMSAT employees) and customers (taxpayers). With this application, it is expected to improve service standards at the SAMSAT office and reduce taxpayer queues also reduce the use of brokers in administering public service administration that can increase public trust.

In order to realize the demands of the community in service, the government will seek several things to improve the quality of services provided by bringing up a policy. To produce a quality policy requires good cooperation by the local government. Improving public services to optimize services in the regions can be done by reforming the administration at a level that is directly dealing with the community, namely at the sub-district level and implementing innovation. The innovation in question is the sub-district integrated administrative service system (PATEN). PATEN is held with the aim of realizing the sub-district as a community service center and becoming a service node for the one-stop integrated service agency/office (PTSP) in the district for sub-districts whose geographical area will be more effectively and efficiently served through the sub-district. With a qualitative method, this research on the implementation of PATEN in Polewali Mandar was studied based on the concepts of communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. Obstacles encountered in communication due to limitations in providing patent services to the public during the covid 19 pandemic, PATEN service providers were provided with training, related to disposition, clearer supervision standards were needed regarding the use and supervision of budgets by districts so that achievements and obstacles could be evaluated on a regular basis ; and simplification of standard operating procedures on aspects of bureaucratic structure.

The One Health concept represents the inseparability of human, animal, and environmental health through a unified view of health care. This article addressed the topic of public health policies from the One Health perspective, demonstrating its inclusion in various health agendas such as emerging and reemerging infectious diseases, basic sanitation, mental health, chronic non-communicable diseases, interpersonal violence, and food safety. The results showed that the application of the One Health concept to the development and implementation of policies is associated with a growing need to involve transdisciplinary teams for solving complex problems to improve communication and to ensure the relevance and acceptability of public policies, thus guaranteeing governance. According to the principle of efficiency, the government must be aware of the evolution of technical knowledge and should use the One Health approach to improve the efficacy of already existing systems. We, therefore, conducted this review to contextualize current knowledge in this topic which is becoming an essential tool for public health policy-makers and practitioners around the world promoting a reflection on the importance of multiprofessional articulation in the implementation of intersectoral public health policies.

The government of Klungkung Regency is one of the Regencies in Bali that carried out reforms in order to simplify the licensing process by holding one-stop integrated service. The purpose of this study is to determine the implementation of the policy and the inhibiting factors of the one-stop integrated service. Van Horn and Van Meter Theory were used in this research. The research was conducted at the Department of Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services in Klungkung Regency by using a qualitative research method. The result is that the implementation of the policy shows a tendency for increasingly improved attitudes. The inhibiting factor of the implementation of the policy is the different perception between the Department of Investment and the technical team related to the administrative services and the unavailability of a public service mall to facilitate the licensing and non-licensing process. In terms of human resources, the inhibiting factors are related to professionalism, competence, empathy, and ethics. The next problem is the minimal service quality that complicates the process.
