ABSTRACT Objective – The study aims to formulate a policy direction (through a model) among Philippine level 3 local government hospitals based on the predictors of Quality Patient Care (QPC). The predictors are cost-effectiveness, utilization of materials, services by human resources, accessibility, leadership and management and ethical standards as independent variables in relation to the dependent variable which is QPC. Methodology/Technique – Survey questionnaires and interviews were conducted to patients, hospital directors, doctors, nurses, administrative and ancillary officers. The study used descriptive (mean and standard deviation) and inferential (ordinary least squares and multiple regression analysis) statistics. Findings – The study revealed that the utilization of materials has the most influence/effect on QPC wherein an increase in 1% of materials brought about an increase of 0.55 % in QPC. Likewise, accessibility brought about an increase in QPC by 0.42 %; and services rendered by human resources brought about an increase in QPC by 0.05 %. Novelty – This is the first study of Philippine Level 3 local government hospitals which aims to formulate a policy direction (through a model) based on the predictors of QPC. This can be used by the national and local governments in devising policies to improve healthcare, particularly in the hospital industry.

ABSTRACT The entry of smartphones into our lives is due to two primary reasons – the rapid advancement in technology and R & D, making present technology redundant within weeks and the drastic drop in prices of smartphones which occur weekly or monthly. The objectives of this paper are: (1) To provide a more holistic view of smartphone users' preference (2) To have depth analysis on how consumers put a premium on various smartphone features application and tools (3) To understand how prospective customers appreciate the good features of the product. Three statistical tools were used: Frequency Distribution to get the profile of the respondent's actual usage of smartphones and attitudes of consumers, Pearson Correlation, and Conjoint analysis, which was used to analyze the preference of the respondents on smartphone attributes. This study showed a moderately fit conjoint model, Pearson R =.742, p<.05, Kendall's Tau was .333, p<.05 and .333, p< .05 for the holdouts. From the given set of attributes, price (47.11%) is the most important, followed by the SIM card slot (19.05%), and the phone plan (9.14%). This paper is the first study done in the Philippines about the usage, attitudes of consumers towards smartphones using conjoint analysis. The analysis would help companies to understand what aspects of their products are essential and irrelevant. Companies will act upon a certain aspect to ensure higher profitability.

Problem setting. More recently, the problem of the shortage of skilled personnel in Ukraine has become significantly aggravated, primarily due to emigratory mood of young people. To maximize the implementation of labor potential, it is necessary to identify and minimize the relevant human resource risks that may arise during the development of the organization, in particular of local authorities. After all, the functioning of many spheres of the state as a whole depends on the efficiency of local governments activities. Recent research and publication analysis. The concept and classification of human resource risks were considered and presented in the works of A. Alaverdov, O. Diomin, V. Zhukovska, L. Ischuk, V. Rodchenko, G. Rekun, O. Pakhlova, S. Lobazova, O. Smagulov. V. Fedoseev and M. Khromov investigated the causes of human resources risks. E. Bulanova developed methods for identifying the causes and factors of human resources risks, accounting for them, and minimizing the influence. N. Kazakova, Zh. Denisova, O. Kalmykova studied the minimization of human resource risks in the management of civil service personnel with the help of psychological influence. Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem. Despite the elaboration of many aspects of this issue, the definition, specificity, and classification of human resource risks in local government bodies have been studied insufficiently and require a more thorough study and justification. The purpose of the paper is to identify and classify human resource risks in the personnel management system in local government bodies in Ukraine. Paper main body. Personnel management is a multifaceted and complex process, which is characterized by specific features and patterns. Human resource risks are an integral part of the HR management system. According to the majority of scientists, the activities of the organization are impossible without human resource risks. The main reason for human resource risks is the unpredictability of human behavior, which generates a significant range of possible solutions to problems and their consequences. Human resource risks in each area have their own characteristics. The wording of the concept of “human resource risks” in local government bodies is not officially fixed. Today, this term is also insufficiently developed in the scientific literature. Taking into account the specifics of these bodies, it can be taken as a basis that human resource risks in the personnel management system in local government bodies in Ukraine are a set of threats to personnel and the local government body as a whole, associated with factors of the personal factor, economic nature and the specifics of the social and professional environment of civil servants. The personnel hazard at each stage of work with the cadre potential can be generated by the following factors: technical, technological, motivational, psychological, and corruption. An important point in changing personnel hazards is circumstances that change over time. This includes the situation in the country, the team, the official's family, his/her character, needs, priorities. Today, during the quarantine period, technical and technological risks are especially relevant. They can simplify most procedures for obtaining services to protect workers from danger. However, there is another side to this situation – the psychological side. Not every official is capable of drastically changing his/her work schedule. These changes are especially difficult for aged employees. Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. Each personnel risk is constantly changing, crowding out stereotypes, and requires due attention from the management. It is extremely urgent today to increase the level of digitalization. It is the flexibility of the personnel management system that can become the basis for unlocking the long-term potential of local authorities, although the identification of human resource risks and their minimization is a long and difficult process.

Strategic management is the formulation of the comprehensive plan on how to promote tourism sector and to attract investors as done by the Department of Culture and Tourism of Mataram City to increase the number of tourist visits. One of the reasons to support this tourism sector is because it is very beneficial for the growth and the development of both central and local governments. Though it is understood that developing tourism is important, in practice there are a variety of fairly complex problems which require serious attention from the local government. Such problems as the promotion of tourism itself and the investments intended for tourism sector are common matters that often appear to the public. Based on this situation, the problems of the study are then formulated. They deal with the strategies of the Department of Culture and Tourism of Mataram City in the promotion and the investment on tourism sector and the ways to manage the promotion to attract the investments.This study aimed to: (1) know the strategies of the Department of Culture and Tourism of Mataram City, and (2) describe the promotion policies the tourism sector. The study used a qualitative approach in which the data were collected by library studies, observations and also interviews.The study concluded the followings. The strategies of the Department of Culture and Tourism of Mataram City to promote tourism and attract investment were varied. They included the promotion in national and international levels, the promotion through printed media and electronic media (internet), the promotion through exhibition and tourism events, art festivals and cultural performances on the tourism objects. The ways of doing the promotion were in the forms of improving the infrastructure on tourism objects, creating regulatory guidance and supervision of the business climate in tourism, and also developing cooperation with BPPD, IHRA, ASITA and other related institutions. The obstacles that the local government faced were related to the limited number of tourism objects that Mataram has especially when compared to the other regencies in the province of West Nusa Tenggara, the inadequate human resources on tourism, the limited number of tourism experts, the limited facility and infrastructure in the objects, the lack of public’s awareness on the importance of tourism, and lack of management of the street vendors in the tourism objects.The study provides some recommendations. Firstly, it is expected that the local government improves the promotion especially on the attractions or objects which are still unknown to many tourists and increase the awareness and the active participation of the community in the tourism activities as an effort to improve the quality of tourism attractions. Secondly, considering the poor quality and quantity of human resources in the tourism sector, the central and local governments are expected to seriously address the identified problems by professionally structuring the employees with consideration on the quality and quantity of the experts in the field of tourism.
