The article deals with the process of formation of the Czech national identity, a distinctive phenomenon that has combined ethnic originality and the common flow of formation of European nations. As a large-scale European phenomenon of the period of formation of nations, this process was a multifaceted and multilayered social movement. The latter defined not only the cultural, social and political conditions of the modern nations and states, but also their national ideas, which have continued shaping the real content of the modern European history. As a matter of fact, the formation of the modern quality of the Czech society largely depended on educational intellectual societies, scientific and educational institutions and public organisations that generated the elements of intellectualisation of the public, formed an independent personality, promoted the cultivation of a civic duty. In general, the activities of early academic institutions were not just a changing subject in the political complex of the imperial cultural architecture. Early Czech patriotic institutions served as catalysts for the process of modernisation of national consciousness. At the same time, they remained Zemsky institutions with a small readership, and, of course, in some way, this reduced the intensity of the national process. Taking into account the linguistic basis of the formation of the scientific and patriotic Czech institutions, the fact, that all of them have gained experience of public education, should be emphasized; the process of spiritual institutionalisation of the "third state" was initiated, the linguistic ideologeme of the Czech National Revival grew stronger and later became part of political programmes of future national Czech parties.

These three essays on distinct research areas and case studies cover a broad history of educational institutions in India, their focus on theatre and cultural education, and their role in creating citizens active in the public sphere and civic communities. The common point of reference for all the three essays is the historical transition from pre- to post-independence India, and they represent three dominant genres of Indian theatre practice: the amateur progressive theatre emerging out of sociopolitical movements; the State Drama School, which has remained at the core of the state's policy and vision of a national theatre; and college theatre, which comprises the field from which the National School of Drama sources its acting students, as well as new audiences for urban theatres.

There is a growing awareness that the interoperability among Government Agencies’ information systems (IS) is of critical importance for the development of e-government and the improvement of government efficiency and effectiveness. However, most of the IS interoperability research and practice in government has been focused on the operational level, aiming mainly to enable the delivery of integrated electronic services involving several Government Agencies, or to support the co-operation among Government Agencies from the same or even different countries. This chapter is dealing with knowledge-level interoperability, aiming to support higher knowledge-intensive tasks of government, such as the formulation of legislation and public policy. In particular, it presents an ontology-based methodology for achieving knowledge interoperability of IS of Parliaments and Government Agencies, so that they can exchange public policy related knowledge produced in the various stages of the legislation process. It is based on the common use by Parliaments of the ontology of the ‘Issue-Based Information Systems’ (IBIS) framework for constructing representations of this knowledge. An application of the proposed methodology is presented, followed by an evaluation, which results in an enrichment of the above ontology that enables a better representation of the public policy related knowledge produced in the legislation process, providing a ‘higher quality’ of knowledge interoperability. Finally a generalization of this methodology is formulated, which can be used for achieving knowledge interoperability among IS of other types of Government Agencies.

The Impact

This study aims to examine if auditors of the Saudi Supreme Audit Institution (SSAI) have exerted influence on administrators in Saudi Public Institutions in order to improve the way they manage public resources. The study also examines the impact of the public administrators’ personal factors, i.e. the experience and qualifications of administrators on the contributions made by the SSAI, in terms of facilitating the undertaking of changes in the public administrations. The result of a survey of 96 Saudi public officials shows that the SSAI can claim remarkable achievements, in terms of improving Saudi public affairs. Administrators, irrespective of their experience and qualifications, have shown positive perceptions of the process of performance audit and that they are convinced of the usefulness and the quality of the SSAI’s reports. This study reveals that the SSAI has contributed towards helping the managements of public organisations define their priorities and adopt both strategic and operational plans. It has also helped them evaluate their projects and services, identify the problems and shortcomings of these projects and services, and then provide valuable recommendations to rectify them.

The concept of "Good governance" was brought to the world in the 1990s in the context of increasing globalization and expanding democratization worldwide. It can be seen that the common factors needed to implement good governance include: (i) Capacity of the state - the degree of problem-solving by governments and leaders religion; (ii) Responsiveness - whether public policies and institutions meet the needs of citizens and uphold their rights; (iii) Accountability - the ability of citizens, civil society and the private sector to monitor the responsibilities of public and governmental institutions. In Vietnam, from the first decade of the twenty-first century, efforts have been made to set up indicators and measure the effectiveness of the public authority aligning to the principles of "good governance". Using data from the four sets of indicators in Vietnam namely PAR, SIPAS, PCI, and PAPI, this article reviews the process of developing the good governance’s indicators, compares the areas where each set of indicators measures and assesses the effectiveness, analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of each set of indicators, and reviews some local government efforts in using the measurement and evaluation results of the four sets of indicators to improve the quality of governance in their respective localities. The article also asserts that these four sets of indicators reflect a large part of the content to be measured according to the principle of "good governance", and presents some recommendations to improve the four sets of indicators themselves to better reflect the principles of "Good governance" in the near future.

Relationship Of

The importance recently acquired by satisfaction studies in educational institutions has caused scientific interest in the welfare of members of the educational community to increase significantly, given the relationship of this variable, not only to labor productivity, but to the quality of interpersonal relationships within our schools, which is especially necessary in those of rural type. In this regard, we present the following study, funded by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports of Spain with the reference AP2007 – 00294, and whose interest focused on knowing those aspects of social interactions with the rest of the members of the educational community of rural schools in the province of Granada more pleasing and displeasing to their teachers respectively. For this purpose, a descriptive and non-experimental research, focused on the implementation of the survey technique on a sample of 221 teachers in Grenadian rural public schools was designed. Thanks to this methodology, it has been found that rural teachers in Granada value far more the daily support and the friendship of the rest of their coworkers than the involvement of the families in the education of their children or the cooperation of the public administration with the problems of rural educational centers, a result already supported by other scientific research carried out on the subject in the same context.

<p>The subject of governance has become a pertinent issue for business, government, politics, and the general public. In both the private and the public sectors, there is an increasing demand for good governance in terms of accountability and transparency, and internal audit function within organizations has an important role to play in the achievement of these objectives. This study therefore assessed the effects of internal audit function (IAF) on good governance in the public sector in Nigeria. Primary data was obtained through the administration of structured questionnaire to purposively selected respondents comprising Head of Internal Audit, Director of Finance and Supplies, and Head of Local Government Administration, in 33 public sector organizations in Oyo State, Southwestern Nigeria. A total of 99 respondents participated in the study. IAF was measured by independence of internal audit system, scope of work, professional competence, examination process, and management support, while quality of service, management of public resources measured good governance. Data obtained was analysed using correlation analysis and multiple regression technique. The results showed that the effectiveness of IAF in Nigerian public sector organisations was moderate since internal audit system in the public organisations was not absolutely independent and professional competence was limited due to the challenge of insufficient funds to successfully carry out its duties. Moreover, the study revealed that IAF had significant and positive effect on the quality of service delivery and management of resources in the public organisations. The study concluded that internal Audit function is a veritable tool for promoting good governance in the Nigerian Public Sector. This study therefore recommended that there should be legal mandate in public sector organisations that allows government information to be publicly published and special funds should be made available to internal auditors as it would enhance effectiveness of internal audit function and boost good governance in the organisations.</p>

Modern Era

Parallel to the radical changes in Russian society of the last decades are transformations in literary methods and genre. There is a widespread notion that in the new social surroundings serious literature has lost its appeal to the majority of the readers, that the modern era has brought about the victory of mass culture with its ambition only to entertain. There is a wide gap between the authors of serious literature and the common reader, which threatens the viability of serious literature in the market economy.Still, there are some authors who seem to have found a key to success with the public without compromising the artistic quality of their books. Marina Judenič is one of them. Her books are not only entertaining due to unexpected twists in the plots, sudden changes of time and setting, and richness and accuracy of language. The author's preoccupation with fundamental contemporary existential problems is evident in the two novels and story analyzed in this article. She portrays the human search for ideals and truth and, last but not least, for spiritual salvation. Judenič is interested in the social and psychological bonds which help a human being remain human in any conditions and at any time.Marina Judenič promises to bridge the gap between quality writing and popular readership.
