In an age where digital marketing dominates, businesses are rediscovering the timeless appeal of visual signage. Among the most iconic are neon gas station signs, a nostalgic symbol of the American roadside that continues to captivate attention and drive traffic. Whether you're restoring a vintage service station, decorating a retro-themed restaurant, or looking to enhance the visibility of your business, neon signs offer an unmatched blend of functionality and charm. Neon signs first appeared in the early 20th century, quickly becoming a staple of gas stations, diners, and motels along the famous Route 66. These glowing, colorful beacons became part of

It is well established that organizational structure is critical to the performance of organizations. For performing arts organizations, especially from developing countries such as India, mere survival is a struggle and sustainability becomes a vital goal before the achievement of mission. Our emergent conceptual framework, based on a grounded theory study of six theatre organizations, sheds light on aspects of organizational structure that have contributed to organizational sustainability. Theatre organizations in India are highly dependent on a small core group, often comprising founders or founding families, and rely on strong personal networks in the arts sector. They are supported by membership that is flexible and project-oriented, and organizational boundaries are relatively porous. An exploration of performing arts in the Indian context offers valuable points of comparison to the nature of organizational structures of arts organizations in the West, as evidenced by Western literature.

Il presente lavoro di tesi ha come obiettivo l'analisi delle dinamiche che riguardano le pubblicità sociali. In particolare, è stato studiato sia l'utilizzo del metodo comunicativo sia il meccanismo di percezione del messaggio presente nelle campagne pubblicitarie. L'ampia ricerca bibliografica ha dato modo di analizzare i diversi aspetti della pubblicità sociale, e con il coinvolgimento della sezione "donazione e prelievo di organi e tessuti" dell'ASST Spedali Civili di Brescia e il relativo personale sanitario, è stato possibile raccogliere informazioni riguardo le campagne di sensibilizzazione per la donazione di organi che, fino ad ora, hanno riscontrato il maggior successo. Il primo capitolo dell'elaborato, tratta una panoramica dei diversi aspetti della pubblicità sociale. In particolare, dopo una breve introduzione storica, si è approfondito un confronto fra la pubblicità commerciale e quella sociale, sottolineandone le differenze. A tale scopo, perciò, è stato preso in analisi anche il metodo persuasivo e gli effetti che si possono riscontare sul pubblico nel contesto sociale e nel mondo del web. Il secondo capitolo approfondisce gli aspetti riguardanti la percezione del messaggio all'interno delle pubblicità sociali. Sono stati presi in analisi i diversi mezzi che riescono a coinvolgere lo spettatore, portandolo a compiere una scelta inconscia. Infine, sono state trattate le diverse strategie comunicative che permettono la codificazione del messaggio. L'ultimo capitolo, è dedicato all'analisi di un caso concreto, cioè la campagna di sensibilizzazione per la donazione di organi "Diamo il meglio di noi", realizzata dal Ministero della Salute e dal Centro Nazionale Trapianti. A tal proposito, vengono studiate le diverse sezioni del sito e i peculiari metodi comunicativi utilizzati per coinvolgere il pubblico attraverso il testo. Inoltre, è stata studiata la regolamentazione all'interno della Commissione Europea e sono state analizzate le metodologie di sensibilizzazione adottate da ciascun paese, soffermandosi in particolare sul modello spagnolo che è risultato essere uno dei più efficienti d'Europa. È emersa l'importanza di concentrare il lavoro sulle pubblicità sociali e i suoi metodi comunicativi in quanto, a partire dagli studi svolti, si è riscontrato un grande interesse per questo tipo di comunicazione che molto spesso non è efficace quanto dovrebbe. Me ne sono resa particolarmente conto venendo a contatto in prima persona con le associazioni che si dedicano alla sensibilizzazione per la donazione di organi, come A.I.D.O, con la quale mi sono confrontata in un momento non troppo felice ma che con

Business schools everywhere are committed to building excellence. But excellence demands enormous financial resources that exceed customary levels of funding whether it is for recruiting top students with scholarships and financial aid, attracting world-class faculty with strong compensation packages and generous research support, building state-of-the-art facilities that can provide the academic and technical environment to investigate and discover business theory and practice, or for developing cutting-edge curricula that will prepare the business leaders of tomorrow. This paper discusses the role of philanthropic partners — including corporations, foundations, and alumni — in creating not only a solid financial base which can support initiatives that spawn excellence but also strategic alliances with practitioner partners who can collaborate in a symbiotic manner to keep faculty and students on the leading edge of change. The paper will explore such alliances and present directio...

This research aims to explore factors that influence the intention to use e-learning management systems among 500 vulnerable women attending non-profit organizations in developing countries. The factors under investigation encompass computer self-efficacy, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, user satisfaction, personal innovativeness, and attitude. Employing a quantitative research design, the study involved the distribution of selfadministered questionnaires to the target population for data collection. The research employed rigorous methods, including the Item-Objective Congruence (IOC) index, pilot testing, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), to analyze the data and draw meaningful research conclusions. The study yielded confirmation of hypotheses relating to the significant influence of perceived ease of use, attitude, and user satisfaction on the intention to use e-learning systems. Perceived ease of use has a significant influence on perceived usefulness and attitude. However, computer self-efficacy has no significant influence perceived usefulness. Perceived usefulness and personal innovativeness have no significant influence intention to use. In conclusion, the findings emphasize the paramount importance of fostering a positive attitude towards technology in the context of e-learning implementation.

Sverige och flera andra utvecklade länder har blivit projektintensiva ekonomier i . Vi har projektorganiserade företag, där merparten av leveranser och utvecklingssatsningar bedrivs i projektform. Vi har projektorganiserade offentliga myndigheter, som driver specifika projekt snarare än förvaltar, som fördelar projektmedel hellre än att ge permanenta anslag. Vi har en ökande andel människor på arbetsmarknaden som inom ramen för självanställningar och småföretagande försörjer sig på tillfälliga uppdrag och satsningar av olika slag. Till och med när vi engagerar oss i idrottsklubbar, föräldraföreningar eller biståndsorganisationer hamnar vi i projekt. Projektformen har rentav blivit så vanlig att många människor ser sitt liv, sin karrär, sina jobb, sina äktenskap som projekt som skall drivas fram på ett effektivt sätt ii . Utifrån de senaste årens debatt kan vi samtidigt konstatera att den projektintensiva ekonomin har många problem, framför allt på individnivå. Stress och ohälsa till följd av extrema arbetsvillkor framhålls allt oftare som ett av våra stora samhällsekonomiska problem.

Grant compliance is a critical aspect of nonprofit governance, guaranteeing that organizations comply with the legal, fiscal, and operational requirements established by their donors. Nonprofit organizations in the United States rely heavily on grants obtained from government agencies, philanthropic organizations, and corporate donors to pursue their missions. Failure to meet grant requirements, however, can lead to devastating consequences, including financial loss, reputational damage, and restrictions on future funding. This article discusses the key issues that nonprofits face in maintaining compliance with their grants, which include financial mismanagement, inadequate reporting practices, changing regulatory requirements, and constraints in organizational capacity. Additionally, it outlines methods of enhancing compliance through the enforcement of strong internal policies, accurate financial management practices, specific training programs, and technology use to track compliance. The article also highlights the importance of accountability for enhanced transparency and the development of donor trust, which is essential for securing continuous funding and ensuring organizational sustainability. By implementing strict governance structures and proactive compliance measures, nonprofits can avoid potential pitfalls, optimize operational efficiency, and extend their reach in the communities they serve. Comprehensive case studies demonstrating effective compliance practices utilized by nonprofits will offer practical lessons on how organizations can overcome compliance-related challenges. The article further discusses the importance of strong grant compliance in maintaining long-term sustainability by building donor confidence, ensuring the financial integrity of the organization, and positioning the nonprofit for future growth. The discussion will further involve policy proposals aimed at helping nonprofits manage the intricacies surrounding compliance, thus retaining their positive status with funders and regulatory bodies. As the nonprofit landscape changes, staying well-advised about compliance requirements will become increasingly important for organizations determined to amplify their influence and achieve their missions. This handbook acts as a tool for nonprofit organizational leaders, grant administrators, and policymakers that will increase grant compliance, as well as promote responsibility where they have sway.

This paper is part of a series of Working Papers produced under the International Comparative Social Enterprise Models (ICSEM) Project. Launched in July 2013, the ICSEM Project (www.iap-socent.be/icsem-project) is the result of a partnership between an Interuniversity Attraction Pole on Social Enterprise (IAP-SOCENT) funded by the Belgian Science Policy and the EMES International Research Network. It gathers around 200 researchers-ICSEM Research Partners-from some 50 countries across the world to document and analyze the diversity of social enterprise models and their eco-systems. As intermediary products, ICSEM Working Papers provide a vehicle for a first dissemination of the Project's results to stimulate scholarly discussion and inform policy debates. A list of these papers is provided at the end of this document. First and foremost, the production of these Working Papers relies on the efforts and commitment of Local ICSEM Research Partners. They are also enriched through discussion in the framework of Local ICSEM Talks in various countries, Regional ICSEM Symposiums and Global Meetings held alongside EMES International Conferences on Social Enterprise. We are grateful to all those who contribute in a way or another to these various events and achievements of the Project. ICSEM Working Papers also owe much to the editorial work of Sophie Adam, Coordination Assistant, to whom we express special thanks. Finally, we gratefully acknowledge the role of our Supporting Partners, who are listed at the end of this document and presented on the Project's website.

This investment, in turn, brings increased pressure to continually prove to funders that youth development programs affect student outcomes (Zeller-Berkman, 2010). The increased emphasis on accountability has sometimes forced community-based organizations (CBOs) to maintain a myopic focus on outcomes that are easily measurable but not necessarily the most important (Fusco, Lawrence, Matloff-Nieves, & Ramos, 2013). Underfunded nonprofits can feel overwhelmed by the intense emphasis on producing “evidence-based” outcomes, especially if evaluation feels like an “add-on” rather than being aligned with and integrated into program goals.

Нийгмийн ихэнх харилцаа хуулиар зохицуулагдах болсон өнөө үед Монгол Улсын Үндсэн хууль, салбар хуулиар эдийн засгийн харилцааг зохицуулж байгаа ч, эдийн засгийн нөхцөл байдал сайнгүй байна.
Монгол Улсын эдийн засаг хямралтай, төсөв байнгын алдагдалтай байгаа нь эдийн засаг ба эрх зүйн анхаарал хандуулах шаардлагатай тулгамдсан асуудал юм. Монгол Улсын Засгийн газрын өр 2010 онд 1.88 тэрбум ам доллар байсан бол 2022 оны байдлаар 8 тэрбум ам долларт хүрсэн буюу 10 гаруй жилийн хугацаанд 4.2 дахин ихэссэн байна1. Харин нийт гадаад өр 2010 онд 7.13 тэрбум ам доллар байсан бол 2022 онд 33.58 тэрбум ам долларт хүрсэн буюу 4.7 дахин ихэссэн2. Гэтэл Монгол Улсын эдийн засгийн хөгжлийн хэмжүүр, гол үзүүлэлт болох ДНБ-ний хэмжээ 2010 онд 7.19 тэрбум ам. доллароос 2021 он хүртэл 2.1 дахин буюу 15.29 тэрбум ам доллар хүртэл өссөн3. Үүнээс дүгнэвэл манай улсын өрийн хуримтлал эдийн засгийн хөгжлийн хурдтай харьцуулбал хоёр дахин илүү байгааг харж болно.
Эдийн засгийн хямралын үндэс нь нийгмийн харилцааг зохицуулж байгаа эрх зүй, ялангуяа Үндсэн хууль гэж судлаачийн хувьд үзсэн. Учир нь Үндсэн хуулийн эдийн засаг нь бусад улс орнуудад институтийн хэмжээнд хөгжиж байгаа бөгөөд эдийн засгийн суурь харилцааг зохицуулах үндэс болсон байна. Харин Монгол Улсын Үндсэн хуулийн эдийн засгийн эрх зүйн зохицуулалт хангалтгүй, сул байгаа нь судалгааны шаардлагыг бий болгож байна. Тиймээс Үндсэн хуулийн эдийн засгийн эрх зүйн зохицуулалтыг холбогдох нийгмийн ухааны онолуудын хамт судалж, харьцуулсан судалгаа хийх замаар дүн шинжилгээ хийсэн болно.

O presente estudo avalia a qualidade do gasto em segurança pública aplicado na região da fronteira internacional brasileira, à luz das Teorias dos Jogos, das Restrições e da perspectiva da Qualidade do Gasto Público emanada da Teoria das Finanças Públicas e do método da Análise Envoltória de Dados (DEA). Selecionou-se como sujeito a Polícia Federal (DPF) face às suas atribuições constitucionais. Para o cálculo do DEA selecionou-se como insumo o gasto per capita com o DPF colhidos numa série história entre 2010 e 2018, organizada a partir de várias fontes, e os respectivos resultados no período de operações realizadas, voltadas à mitigação do narcotráfico. As variáveis estão associadas à escolha estratégica do DPF em concentrar sua ação em aeroportos e portos e não na fronteira seca. Os escores calculados demonstram que a qualidade do gasto pelo ente está abaixo da fronteira da eficiência, sinalizando ineficiência. Face ao resultado, avaliou-se quantitativamente a consolidação da coalizão, com base na Teoria dos Jogos e a superação da restrição, com a realização do gasto na entrada, usando o DEA. A coalizão, embora não alcance a fronteira da eficiência, gera uma qualidade do gasto 50% maior do que quando alocada na área de litoral.

2025, Les Juristes au soutien du transgénérationnel

Parmi les possibles supports juridiques d'une démarche transgénérationnelle, figure assurément en bonne place la fondation. Le concept est ancien puisqu'il apparaît dès l'Antiquité, tant grecque que romaine, mais c'est traditionnellement à partir de l'article 910 du Code civil de 1804 et de l'avis du Conseil d'État du 24 décembre 1805, imposant aux établissements d'utilité publique l'obtention d'une autorisation administrative pour pouvoir accepter des dons et legs, que s'est véritablement construit, dans notre droit positif, le système de la reconnaissance d'utilité publique, caractéristique des fondations, ou du moins des plus importantes et célèbres d'entre elles. Puis les premiers statuts-types, approuvés par le Conseil d'État le 23 mars 1896, en ont affiné le mécanisme mais toujours, paradoxalement, sans définir la fondation elle-même… Et c'est donc la doctrine qui a ici accompli un louable effort de systématisation, et notamment notre collègue Henri Souleau qui, dans sa célèbre thèse de doctorat sur « L'acte de fondation en droit français » 1 définit « l'acte de fondation comme l'affectation de certains biens à un service déterminé ». Plus tard, le conseiller d'État Michel Pomey, dans un ouvrage également de référence 2 présenta plus précisément la fondation d'utilité publique comme « une institution privée autonome, mise au service d'un objet d'utilité publique et dûment reconnue par les pouvoirs publics. Une institution dont la responsabilité est confiée à un conseil d'administration statutaire, et dont le financement est garanti par voie de dotation, également statutaire ». Puis viendra enfin une loi structurante : la loi n° 87-571 du 23 juillet 1987 sur le développement du mécénat 3 , dont l'objet premier fut de délimiter un secteur philanthropique et caritatif précis, en sanctionnant pénalement son usage indu 4 , de sorte que le législateur fût assez logiquement amené, à cette occasion, à

In the last decade the number of work integration companies and jobs has been grown. After controversial steps, the State Law 44/2007 about social integration enterprises has been implemented. This paper deals with the analysis that this regulation has had on work integration companies. The results show mainly; that the currently existing model differs from the previous one and this model is away from the approaches of the social economy; the growth of work integration companies is unsustainable in the medium-long term with the consequent possibility of a bubble effect; and the model supported by the Administration is neither unique nor efficient in terms of socio-labor work integration pursued by the model itself, at least theoretically. The main contribution of value to the scientific community is obtaining results from an analysis based on scientific methods giving strength to them. In this study we highlight the doubt on the truth about many topics that are used uncritically from politics and the media in relation to this phenomenon. It also identifies interesting recommendations for all involved agents to rethink the selected work insertion companies' model. It aims to contribute both to the future sustainability of work integration enterprises, and its real integration into the Solidarity Economy.

Alcune scuole di pensiero incoraggiano le persone ad essere riconoscenti per la conoscenza degli altri. Come individui possiamo imparare ed ideare soltanto una limitata quantità di cose; per ottenerne di più grandiose , abbiamo bisogno di una comunità (S. Sloman & P.Fernbach L'illusione della conoscenza-Perché non pensiamo da soli, Raffaello Cortina, Milano 2018) Quando una rete ha lo scopo di diffondere qualcosa che ha un valore per le persone come nel caso di una rete televisiva, il valore dei servizi è lineare. Se la rete consente transazioni tra nodi individuali, il valore aumenta al quadrato. Quando la stessa rete include la possibilità che gli individui formino gruppi, il valore è invece esponenziale (Donald Reed

I slutbetänkandet av Nationella folkhälsokommittén Hälsa på lika villkor. Nationella mål för folkhälsan (SOU 200:91) är mål nr 18 "Saklig hälsoinformation -Tillgång till saklig och obunden hälsoinformation för alla". Avsnittet inleds: En av förutsättningarna för en god hälsa på lika villkor är att alla har möjlighet att få en korrekt och saklig hälsoinformation. En förutsättning för att målet skall kunna uppnås är en effektiv hälsokommunikation från samhällets sida. Rapportens syfte är att ge en översiktlig beskrivning av forskningsläget vad gäller effektiva och beprövade metoder för hälsokommunikation. Kommunikation är ett relativt svagt styrmedel, och hälsokommunikationens uppgift blir för det mesta inte att vara ett alternativ till tekniska, administrativa och ekonomiska styrmedel utan att förstärka och komplettera dessa. Därmed inte sagt att hälsokommunikation inte kan vara kostnadseffektivt. Flera studier visar att den per satsad krona får avsevärt större önskade effekter än andra metoder. Planerade kommunikationsinsatser från samhällets eller samhällstödda organisationers sida till större eller mindre grupper och kollektiv med avsikt att uppnå hälsovinster på samhällelig och individuell nivå.

2025, Determinants of Financial Sustainability for Local Non-Governmental Organisations in Arusha, Tanzania

This study explores the factors influencing the financial sustainability of local Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in Arusha, Tanzania. The research used descriptive survey design, collecting data from 262 respondents working in local NGOs, utilizing both questionnaires and interviews. The findings reveal that external donors are the dominant source of funding, contributing significantly to the financial sustainability of NGOs, while other sources such as crowdfunding and self-generated income play supporting roles. Despite this, many NGOs struggle to maintain long-term donor relationships, and a heavy reliance on restricted funding hinders their flexibility to respond to emerging issues. The study also found that a limited percentage of NGOs have access to unrestricted funding, which further impacts their ability to adapt to changing circumstances. The study concludes that diversifying funding sources, strengthening donor relationships, and improving financial management practices are essential for enhancing the financial sustainability of NGOs in Tanzania. The study provides recommendations for NGOs to create a more resilient and financially sustainable NGO sector, emphasizing the need for a supportive policy framework and capacitybuilding initiatives.

En las páginas que siguen nos proponemos indagar en el sentido de la verdad en el pensamiento platónico. Problema peliagudo que atenderemos en uno de sus ángulos: la relación entre la verdad y la acción virtuosa, entre el intelecto y el deseo. Como en otros casos, veremos perfilarse el marco en el que Aristóteles pensará su propia respuesta 1 . Comenzando por el principio, debemos distinguir diferentes espacios de verdad, que se corresponden con diferentes facultades en el hombre. Veremos si alguno de estos espacios delimita una verdad intrínsecamente práctica, es decir, inseparable del ámbito de la acción y de la virtud ética, directamente reclamada por ella. Debemos tomar en cuenta, igualmente, si hay una noción fundamental de verdad de la que dependerían las demás. Es decir, si hay un centro en torno al cual gravita todo cuanto hay de verdad o de verdadero en el hombre. Quizá la propia separación entre teoría y praxis debería ser replanteada cuando nos acercamos al pensamiento platónico. A la hora de sopesar esta relación, un primer problema hace su entrada en escena: ¿hablamos de la relación entre contemplación y 1 Chateau (1997, 138) no duda en reclamar el origen platónico de la verdad práctica aristotélica, como concepto que pretende repensar el problema de la unidad de las virtudes. La conversión del alma entera, transformada en la prudencia, se ve como una prolongación del giro del alma propuesto en la República, en el que el alma ha de volverse en su integridad. Aristóteles en EN 1139 a 25 define la virtud ética como: «Un modo de ser relativo a la elección». Para que la elección sea buena, el razonamiento ha de ser verdadero y el deseo recto. En la buena elección, el entendimiento y el deseo se acuerdan entre sí, de modo que esta se entiende como un deseo deliberado. Se trata de una inteligencia deseosa o de un deseo inteligente. Este entendimiento y esta verdad son prácticos. «El objeto propio de la parte intelectual y práctica, a la vez, es la verdad que está de acuerdo con el deseo recto». El deseo se encuentra en el corazón de la verdad práctica, vinculándose con el intelecto de modo intrínseco. La potencia del eros y su implicación fundamental con la verdad es un aspecto irrenunciable de toda la tradición platónica. No hay verdad sin deseo recto, no hay verdad que no se exprese en un deseo orientado al intelecto. acción virtuosa o de la relación entre pensamiento discursivo y ámbito práctico? Nuestra tesis es que la relación entre la contemplación y la virtud o la buena vida es mucho más fundamental que la relación entre el pensamiento discursivo y la acción. Es decir, la verdad que se refiere a la contemplación es inseparable de su realización en la acción y en la vida buena. Las características que este tipo de conocimiento tiene en los diálogos platónicos, tales como unificación, contacto, transformación existencial, marcan la relación. Estas notas hacen que no pueda hablarse de verdadera contemplación sin vida buena y de ninguna de ellas sin el deseo primordial que las acoge. En principio podemos distinguir, al menos, dos ámbitos de verdad, que han generado una gran polémica entre los especialistas 2 . Una verdad vinculada al razonamiento, a la actividad del pensamiento dianoético y una verdad que trasciende el discurso y apunta directamente a la actividad contemplativa del nous. La relación entre nous y dianoia es compleja y depende de cada contexto. Si pensamos en los libros centrales de la República nos encontramos con un pensar dianoético que tiene que ver con el desarrollo demostrativo de la matemática, pero también con el razonamiento general que implica al logos 3 . Junto a él, aparece una dynamis específica que tiene que ver con el poder de contemplar el bien 4 . Esta dynamis, aun cuando puede ser favorecida por el razonamiento, no depende de él. El bien que se contempla no es

2025, Төрийн үйлчилгээний бүтээмжийн хэмжилтэд гарцын индекс чухал болох нь

Монгол улсын нийт төсвийн зардалд эрүүл мэндийн нийт зардлын эзлэх хувийн жин 2000 онд 10 хувь байсан бол 2018 онд 8 хувь болж буурсан нь төрийн бодлогын шийдвэр оновчтой эсэх, нэг хүнд ноогдох зардлын хэмжээ 2000 онд 91,4 мянган төгрөгөөс 2018 онд 234 мянган төгрөг болж 256 хувиар өссөн нь иргэдийн хэрэгцээ шаардлага энэ хэмжээгээр хангагдаж чадсан уу? гэсэн асуулт тавигдаж байна. Энэ асуултанд төрийн салбарын бүтээмжийг тооцсон судалгааны үр дүнд үндэслэн хариулж болохыг олон улсын туршлага харуулдаг.
Ихэнх судлаачид эрүүл мэндийн салбарын бүтээмжийн өсөлт бага байгаа шалтгааныг бүтээмжийн хэмжилттэй холбож тайлбарладаг. Эрүүл мэндийн үйлчилгээний бүтээмжийн өсөлтийн ихэнхи хувийг өртгийн бууралт биш харин чанарын сайжруулалт эзэлдэг нь хэвтэн эмчлүүлэгчээс амбулаторийн эмчилгээнд шилжих зэрэг үзүүлэлтийг бүтээмжийн хэмжилтэнд тооцдоггүйтэй холбоотой.
Эмчилгээний үр дүн, чанарын хэмжилт нь эрүүл мэндийн үйлчилгээний бүтээмжийг хэмжихэд тулгардаг томоохон бэрхшээлүүдийн нэг юм. Тодорхой хугацааны дараах эмчилгээний үр нөлөөг үнийн өсөлтөөр биш, үйлчилгээний чанараар хэмжих нь үйлчилгээний бүтээмжийн хэмжилтийн бодит байдлыг нэмэгдүүлэх ач холбогдолтой. Эрүүл мэндийн салбарын бүтээмжийн хэмжилтийг чанарыг үзүүлэлтгүй тооцох нь хэмжилтийн бодит байдлыг багасгадаг. Тиймээс, эрүүл мэндийн үйлчилгээний бүтээмжийг чанарын тохируулгатай хэмжих нь илүү бодитой, ач холбогдолтой юм.
Түлхүүр үг: Бүтээмж, төрийн үйлчилгээний бүтээмж, бүтээмжийн хэмжилт, чанарын тохируулга

Purpose
Given the significant rise in the number of non-governmental organizations (NGOs worldwide, especially in developing nations, this study investigates the factors influencing fundraising levels among NGOs in Lebanon, a region grappling with profound economic and political challenges.
Methodology
Using a quantitative approach, the study analyzes key predictors, including donor funding conditions, financial management practices, organizational fundraising capacity, and competition for funds. Drawing upon a positivist research philosophy and a deductive approach, this study employed a questionnaire distributed via Google Forms. The responses were collected from 124 key decision-makers in NGOs across Lebanon. Statistical analysis using SPSS was employed to investigate the relationships between the variables.
Findings
The findings reveal that competition for funds is a significant determinant of fundraising success, underscoring the intense rivalry among NGOs for limited donor resources. In contrast, financial management practices, organizational capacity, and donor funding conditions exhibit negligible impacts, highlighting a crucial divergence from established literature.
Contribution and originality
This study addresses a critical gap by examining Lebanon's unique context, where external factors significantly influence fundraising dynamics for NGOs. By offering actionable insights for both NGOs and policymakers, the research advocates for tailored strategies that specifically address local challenges. The findings aim to enhance the sustainability and effectiveness of NGOs within Lebanon's complex landscape. Furthermore, this research contributes to the theoretical discourse on NGO fundraising, emphasizing the necessity for context-specific approaches in developing regions.

A perspective which emphasizes relational development leads to a shift in understanding therapy, which can be thought of as a process through which individuals find ways to bring themselves more fully into relationship. Empathy serves our basic desire for connection and emotional joining. In shame, we experience a loss of empathic attunement. The experience of being shamed thus leaves one feeling disconnected and disempowered. Marginalized groups, in particular, struggle with this form of disempowerment. Shame is also a powerful obstacle to connection in psychotherapy, but an empathic, relational approach in therapy can significantly alter the experience of shame.

This study aims to examine the effect of profit persistence and cash holding on profit quality with accounting conservatism as a moderator. The research method used is an associative quantitative method. The data used in this study is panel data, which is a combination of time series data and cross section data. The population in this study is Business Index-27 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2019-2023. The determination of samples by purposive sampling technique was obtained from 17 companies with 85 observation data. The analysis technique and hypothesis testing were carried out by panel data regression analysis through EViewsver-12. Based on the results of the T test, it is known that profit persistence does not have a significant effect on profit quality. On the other hand, cash holding affects the quality of profits. Meanwhile, accounting conservatism cannot moderate the influence of profit persistence variables and cash holding variables on profit quality.

Country-branded universities, which include a country in their name, are a type of higher education institution found in many countries globally. We consider these universities as transnational higher education institutions, for they ‘borrow’ or ‘transfer’ elements of the affiliated country across national borders. Surprisingly, there is very limited research on this phenomenon. The aims of this research are to identify what exactly in practice crosses national borders from the affiliated country to a country-branded university, and to develop a framework for country-brand authenticity in transnational higher education (TNHE). The data used in this research was provided by expert informants, who were individuals holding a senior or middle management position at a country-branded university. The proposed framework for country-brand authenticity in TNHE has four main dimensions, namely affiliated country connections; teaching and learning; governance and human resources; and student experience and development. These four dimensions are supported by eleven themes. The most often mentioned concepts were related to the curricula, pedagogy/didactics, and foreign accreditation themes. We offer suggestions for further research using our country-brand authenticity framework.

The value of volunteers to society is unquestionable. Understanding volunteer's motivations has been regularly recognised by researchers and administrators as a valuable component of volunteer's management. However, why people volunteer remains a studied but unresolved question. Indeed, individuals seem to volunteer their self for many different reasons, some of which may be based on their social situation, age or personal needs. In this study, and taking as unit of analysis the food bank volunteer, it was observed that the main differences between 'Permanent' and 'Occasional' volunteers are variables as age, 'Benefits for own well-being and 'Being volunteer in other institution'.
