Disclosure Practice

Changes in the social environment have made the people's needs of public services present-day in China. However, the needs are so large that the government cannot always answer such needs on its own account. Therefore, a non-profit organization (NPO) is expected to solve this problem. Here, NPOs should appropriately provide the information that meets the needs of their stakeholders. Such information could establish trust in their management just like the business enterprises. Most of items regard the Foundation Transparency Index (FTI) as an indicator concerning the quality of NPOs' information disclosure. However, the quality should be embodied not only in the completeness but also in the accuracy and the timeliness. The article deals with the case of China Charities Aid Foundation for Children (CCAFC) which got the full-mark of FTI. It focuses on researching the information disclosure practice by CCAFC from 2010 to 2017. It finds out that though the CCAFC got the full-mark, the information disclosure still has problems not only in the completeness but also in the accuracy.

Purpose. The aim of the article is to reveal the meaning of the concept of "finances of the civil society" and to outline its place in the financial system of the state. Methodology of research. A set of general and special research methods is used to achieve this goal: abstract and logical method, including methods of analogy and comparison, induction and deduction, scientific abstraction (to clarify the conceptual apparatus of the problem under study); graphical and systematic methods, logical generalization and systematization (to determine the place of finances of the civil society in the financial system of the state, as well as to visualize the movement of cash and non-monetary benefits in the civil society finance system). Findings. It is determined that the study of civil society finances should take into account such two main aspects as the financial resources of the CS and the management component. It is proposed that the term "financial resources of civil society institutions" should be understood as monetary funds available to CSOs that have a legitimate source of origin and are aimed at achieving the statutory goals of these institutions. The lack of a unified approach of the legislator to understanding the role of the management component for the finances of the CS is revealed. The interpretation of the category "finances of the civil society" as economic relations is aimed at optimizing the processes of formation, distribution and use of financial resources available to CSOs in order to ensure their statutory goals and improve the quality of the social environment. The necessity of classifying the finances of civil society to the finances of non-profit institutions and organizations, which respectively belong to the finances of economic entities, is substantiated. It is determined that CSOs interact with such economic entities as the state, households and enterprises in order to achieve certain goals and attract resources for activities. It is established that as a result of such interaction between them there are economic relations. In this case, all subjects of economic relations from such interaction receive benefits of both monetary and non-monetary nature. Originality. The concept of "finances of the civil society", which we understand as economic relations aimed at optimizing the formation, distribution and use of financial resources available to CSOs in order to ensure their achievement of statutory goals and improve the quality of the social environment, is substantiated and introduced into scientific circulation. Practical value. The obtained research results can be used for further research on the organization and functioning of civil society finances, as well as in the practice of non-governmental organizations of various kinds. Key words: civil society, civil society institutions, civil society finances, financial resources.

Government Regulation No. 9 of 1975 related to the implementation of marriage was made to support and maximize the implementation of Law No. 1 of 1974 which had not yet proceeded properly. This paper examines Government Regulations related to the implementation of marriage from the perspective of sociology and anthropology of Islamic law. Although the rules already exist, some people still carry out marriages without being registered. This is anthropologically the same as releasing the protection provided by the government to its people for the sake of a rule. In the sociology of Islamic law, protection is a benchmark for the assessment of society in the social environment. Therefore the purpose of this paper is to find out how the implementation of marriage according to PP. No. 9 of 1975 concerning the Marriage Law in the socio-anthropological perspective of Islamic Law.

The use of internet technology in the government environment is known as electronic government or e-government. In simple terms, e-government or digital government is an activity carried out by the government by using information technology support in providing services to the community. In line with the spirit of bureaucratic reform in Indonesia, e-government has a role in improving the quality of public services and helping the process of delivering information more effectively to the public. Over time, the application of e-Government has turned out to have mixed results. In developed countries, the application of e-Government systems in the scope of government has produced various benefits ranging from the efficiency of administrative processes and various innovations in the field of public services. But on the contrary in the case of developing countries including Indonesia, the results are more alarming where many government institutions face obstacles and even fail to achieve significant improvements in the quality of public services despite having adequate information and communication technology. The paradigm of bureaucrats who wrongly considers that the success of e-Government is mainly determined by technology. Even though there are many factors outside of technology that are more dominant as causes of failure such as organizational management, ethics and work culture. This study aims to develop a model of success in the application of e-Government from several best practice models in the field of information technology that have been widely used so far using literature studies as research methods. The results of the study show that the conceptual model of the success of the implementation of e-Government developed consists of 17 determinants of success..Keywords: Model, Factor, Success, System, e-Government

Abstract Background The persistent quality gap in maternal health services in Nepal has resulted in poor maternal health outcomes. Accordingly, the Government of Nepal (GoN) has placed emphasis on responsive and accountable maternal health services and initiated social accountability interventions as a strategical approach simultaneously. This review critically explores the social accountability interventions in maternal health services in Nepal and its outcomes by analyzing existing evidence to contribute to the informed policy formulation process. Methods A literature review and desk study undertaken between December 2018 and May 2019. An adapted framework of social accountability by Lodenstein et al. was used for critical analysis of the existing literature between January 2000 and May 2019 from Nepal and other low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs) that have similar operational context to Nepal. The literature was searched and extracted from database such as PubMed and ScienceDirect, and web search engines such as Google Scholar using defined keywords. Results The study found various social accountability interventions that have been initiated by GoN and external development partners in maternal health services in Nepal. Evidence from Nepal and other LMICs showed that the social accountability interventions improved the quality of maternal health services by improving health system responsiveness, enhancing community ownership, addressing inequalities and enabling the community to influence the policy decision-making process. Strong gender norms, caste-hierarchy system, socio-political and economic context and weak enforceability mechanism in the health system are found to be the major contextual factors influencing community engagement in social accountability interventions in Nepal. Conclusions Social accountability interventions have potential to improve the quality of maternal health services in Nepal. The critical factor for successful outcomes in maternal health services is quality implementation of interventions. Similarly, continuous effort is needed from policymakers to strengthen monitoring and regulatory mechanism of the health system and decentralization process, to improve access to the information and to establish proper complaints and feedback system from the community to ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of the interventions. Furthermore, more study needs to be conducted to evaluate the impact of the existing social accountability interventions in improving maternal health services in Nepal.

User data fuel the digital economy, while individual privacy is at stake. Governments react differently to this challenge. Estonia, a small Baltic state, has become a role model for the renewal of the social contract in times of big data (hence, often ironically referred to as "E-stonia"). While e-governance usage has been growing in many parts of Europe during the last ten years, some regions are lagging behind. The Estonian example suggests that online governance is most accepted in a small state, with a young population, trustworthy institutions and the need of technological renewal. This work examines the development of e-governance usage (citizens interacting digitally with the government) during the last decade in Europe from a comprehensive cross-country perspective: Size, age and trust are relevant for the usage of digital government services in Europe. However, the quality of past communication infrastructure is not related to e-governance popularity.

Public services have become an important issue in Indonesia for more than a decade. One of them is health services, which is one of the basic needs whose provision must be held by the government as mandated in Article 28 H of the Constitution. For this reason, the Social Insurance Administration Organization (Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial, BPJS) was established on 1 January 2014. Are services to patients covered by BPJS satisfiying enough? This paper answers this question through literature studies and observations, comparing four hospitals in Java and two outside Java. It was found that there were still many problems in this service, and the most prominent was the queuing system that was unsatisfactory and too few staff and medical personnel and rooms compared to the increasing number of BPJS patients. In order to maintain public trust, the government needs to resolve this problem immediately

(1) Objective: To understand the perception of Brazilian children about the Quality of Life (QoL) considering their living environment. (2) Methods: This is a qualitative study conducted with children aged 6–10 years, from a medium-sized Brazilian municipality, recruited from public and private schools. An adaptation of the “draw, write, and say” method was used to collect data. At first, all children (n = 252) drew a “neighborhood with QoL”. On the same day, the researcher analyzed the graphic elements of the representations and intentionally selected the two best-detailed drawings from each class (n = 49) and the children were invited to narrate them. The narratives were analyzed through content analysis. (3) Results: Two major themes emerged from the content analysis, namely, the physical environment and social environment. The first included the needs to live in a community, such as housing, places of leisure, essential services, and natural elements. The second was relationships with family and friends. (4) Conclusion: The children presented the meaning of an environment with QoL, pointing out essential items to have this ideal environment. The social environment and the physical environment were perceived interdependently; that is, any change in one of these aspects may affect children’s QoL.
