The article investigates the phenomenon of corruption as a systemic possibility of forbidden actions and violation of established norms in public administration. Corruption is drawn here as a dangerous social and political phenomenon that emerges as one of the key threats and impediments to the successful development and reconstruction of a country on the way of its European integration. It emerges due to such reasons as blurred authority, insufficient publicity and transparency of the public institution and its’ representatives activity, low index of accountability, which leads to the emergence of personal incentives for officials and, above all, the absence of penalties for violations of rules. Accordingly, the fight against corruption and the public perception of this phenomenon should now be based on regular assessments of the situation in the regions. And national and local strategies to reduce the perception of corruption by the population of the country should be targeted for the long term. Such activities should be based today on the clear principles that define the limits of anti-corruption policy on the central level. Therefore, adherence to these principles can serve as a measure of the efficiency of the state’s anti-corruption policy. The prerequisites for the emergence and progression of this phenomenon on the territory of Ukraine have been determined in the article. The following principles include: political will; financial stability; public awareness raising; assessing the context and local conditions; engaging facilitators; problem identification, risk assessment and stakeholders identification; good governance; complex goal setting; a display of trust and stakeholder engagement; message creation and directing; motivating stakeholders and their expectations framing.

This article deals with the issue of achieving the goals of ecological education in the context of the fable The Wolf Called Ambaras by Tomasz Samojlik and its influence on shaping pro-ecological attitudes of children and adolescents towards wolves. The fable The Wolf Called Ambaras by Tomasz Samojlik is part of the literature trend promoting pro-ecological attitudes within the framework of ecological education. The main educational goal included in the story of the fable treating the adventures of the young wolf is to provide young readers and their parents the knowledge about the wolves’ life as well as public awareness of the need to protect the wolf by shaping positive attitudes of people towards this predator. Helpful in this assumption is taking up the problem of overthrowing negative stereotypes about wolves, on which the form of answers as well as attemption of demythologizing them are individual scenes of the fable. The plot of the analyzed fable attempts to answer the three main allegations of people towards wolves, which often appear in social, political and ecological discourse: the issue of wolves attacks on people, the impact of wolves hunting on forest game population and the public perception of a wolf as a bad animal, one unnecessary in the ecosystem. In addition, the bibliotherapeutic character of the fable was indicated. Through identificaiton with the character of the fable, readers can overcome their own fears related to their weaknesses and complexes based on the desensitization.

Municipal solid waste (MSW) is posing great challenge for most countries in the world, which can cause severe negative impacts to the environment and human health. Waste-to-energy has great potential in China because of its technological maturity and policy support at the national level. However, there are significant conflicts between the huge market demand and strong public opposition. It is imperative to examine the public perception of waste-to-energy, especially for developing countries where a large number of projects are under construction or have been approved. The public perception of waste-to-energy was carried out by a questionnaire survey in this research. A total of 650 questionnaires were distributed and 629 questionnaires were returned, with a response rate of 96.8%. The results show that the public showed general concern in regard to environmental issues. Respondents had an overall positive attitude towards waste-to-energy, but it varied according to the demographic details of residents, such as age, education, and income. Recognition level of the benefits was higher than the concern of associated risks. Multiple linear regression shows that awareness of environmental issues had no impact on public attitude towards waste-to-energy, while public awareness and perceived benefits had notable positive impacts. Perceived risks had a positive correlation with public attitude. In order to promote the development of MSW incinerators, the government should make more publicity efforts. Rural residents, people over 50 years old, and people with low education and low income are the major groups which should be focused on to enhance the public perception. The findings provide a theoretical and practical reference for enhancing the social acceptance of waste-to-energy development.

.The problem of corruption in Indonesia is at an alarming point. Corruption often occurs in fairly complex public services, such as licensing issues, procurement of goods and services, etc. Those kinds of services are considered 'profitable' which triggered the opportunities for corruption. This problem needs to be overcome through a new solution that can become the best. The object of research is the anti-corruption campaign conducted by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) through Instagram and Facebook. The purpose of this research is to find out, analyze, and discuss the involvement and actions of anti-corruption campaigns on social media Facebook and Instagram. This research uses a survey method through a descriptive-analytic study approach. The data is taken through a questionnaire by comparing Instagram and Facebook. The result shows that the campaign through Facebook is generating more active comments with a more flexible duration of time and diverse targets than Instagram. This research can be a stimulus to bridge public awareness of the importance of anti-corruption. A further implication is that people will get a better awareness of the importance of anti-corruption knowledge and are able to spread it to the public.

The adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) have proven to be a crucial factor to decreasing the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) into the atmosphere. However, there are various hurdles that impede people from purchasing EVs. For example, long charging time, short driving range, cost and insufficient charging infrastructures available, etc. This article reports the public perception of EV-adoption using statistical analyses and proposes some recommendations for improving EV-adoption in Qatar. User perspectives on EV-adoption barriers in Qatar were investigated based on survey questionnaires. The survey questionnaires were based on similar studies done in other regions of the world. The study attempted to look at different perspectives of the adoption of EV, when asked to a person who is aware of EVs (technical respondents—people studying/working at universities/research centers and policy makers) or a person who may or may not be aware of EVs (non-technical respondents—people working in banks, governments and private non-academic organizations, etc.). Cumulative survey responses from the two groups were compared and analyzed using two-sample t-test statistical analysis. Detailed analyses showed that—among various major hindrances—raising of public awareness of such greener modes of transportation, the availability of charging options in more places and policy incentives towards EVs would play a major role in EV-adoption. The authors provide recommendations that—along with government incentives—could help make a gradual shift to a greater number of EVs convenient for people of Qatar. The proposed systematic approach for such a study and analysis may help in streamlining research on policies, infrastructures and technologies for efficient penetration of EVs in Qatar.
