Authors: Odunfa V.O , Fateye T.B. , Adewusi A.O.
Published: January 2022

The information on the real estate market is fast growing and becoming more complex to analyse. Therefore there is a need for reliable real estate market analysis for an informed and handsome investment decision making. The study examines the opportunities and challenges of using artificial intelligence (AI) approaches to analyse quantitative / data on the Africa real estate market. A systematic review of the literature was conducted. The study found some opportunities characterised by the usage of AI tools to include a reliable forecasting model, good predictive power, ability to perform complex tasks and analyses of a large number of variables. The major constraints of AI tools application in the study area include knowledge gap, weak political will, unstable economic conditions, low level of market transparency, maturity, openness and lack of availability and reliable data and research on the Africa real estate market analysis (AREMA). The study concluded that the Africa real estate market is yet to be ready for the adoption of hi-tech market analysis devices such as AI and machine learning (ML) due to lack of availability and reliable data. However, the study suggests a strong collaboration and cooperation between the public and private sectors to create enabling real estate business environment that prioritises technology infrastructure, data-driven property market and reliable databank to achieve a sustainable Africa real estate market analysis for an informed investment decision. Keywords: Artificial Intelligence (AI), Africa, Real Estate, Market Analysis, Opportunities, Challenges, Analysis, Data, Environment.
A harmonic mean inequality for the q-gamma and q-digamma functions
Authors: Bouali Mohamed
Published: January 2022

We prove among others results that the harmonic mean of ?q(x) and ?q(1/x)
is greater than or equal to 1 for arbitrary x > 0, and q ? J where J is a
subset of [0,+?). Also, we prove that there is a unique real number p0 ? (1,
9/2), such that for q ? (0, p0), ?q(1) is the minimum of the harmonic mean
of ?q(x) and q(1/x) for x > 0 and for q ? (p0,+?), ?q(1) is the maximum.
Our results generalize some known inequalities due to Alzer and Gautschi.
Analysis of open-water plankton-fish-mussel system under the influence of environmental noises
Authors: Das Amartya , Samanta G.P.
Published: January 2022

In this article, we consider a mathematical model consisting of fish and
mussel population in presence of plankton as common food source in marine
ecosystem. The model is constructed considering all possible biological
relationships among plankton (nutrient), fish and mussel. Nonconstant death
rate is introduced for mussel population. To avoid ignoring any
environmental factors, we consider some important parameters as stochastic.
Existence and uniqueness of global positive solutions, boundedness of
solutions are proved mathematically. Conditions for extinction of fish and
mussel population are derived. From these conditions, we have reached at
some conclusion which are verified numerically. We have established the
conditions for which the model is persistent in mean. We have proved that
the solutions are globally attractive in mean. Numerical simulations are
performed by using MATLto justify the mathematical findings. Numerically,
we have investigated several useful facts and have achieved some conclusion.
For extension of this study, a model is proposed at the end.

Capillary Malformation-arteriovenous Malformation Type 2: A Case Report and Review
Authors: Brix Anna Trier Heiberg , Tørring Pernille Mathiesen , Bygum Anette
Published: January 2022

Capillary malformation-arteriovenous malformation syndrome is a rare genodermatosis with cutaneous capillary malformations and a risk of associated fast-flow malformations. We describe here a four-generation family with a novel heterozygous pathogenic variant in the EPHB4 gene (NM_004444.5 (EPHB4): c.2224G>C, p.(Ala742Pro)). A review of the literature retrieved 127 patients with capillary malformation-arteriovenous malformation syndrome and confirmed variants in EPHB4. Multiple capillary malformations were present in 114 (89.76%) patients, and 12 (9.44%) patients had a solitary capillary malformation. Arteriovenous malformations/fistulas were present in 23 (18.1%) patients, and were located within the central nervous system in 5 (3.9%) patients. Not all papers included description of epistaxis. Telangiectasias were reported in 28 (22%) patients, and Bier spots were described in 20 (15.7%) patients. The clinical characteristics of capillary malformation-arteriovenous malformation syndrome are diverse and often discrete, which can make it difficult to distinguish capillary malformation-arteriovenous malformation syndrome from hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia.
Budskap bortom raderna – en modersmålslärares stöttning av yngre elevers tolkande läsning av skönlitteratur
Authors: Norberg Anna-Maija , Hjalmarsson Anna
Published: January 2022

Studien undersöker unga elevers läsning av skönlitteratur i ämnet modersmål (ryska) och hur läraren stöttar elevernas tolkande läsning under textsamtal. Studien är en del av ett treårigt projekt med en designbaserad ansats, vilket innebär att undervisningen planerades av lärare och forskare gemensamt utifrån ett teoretiskt ramverk i syfte att stötta elevernas tolkande läsning. Två inspelade litteratursamtal analyserades utifrån elevernas läsarpositioner och lärarens olika former av stöttning under samtalen. Resultaten visar bland annat att eleverna behövde mycket stöttning för att utveckla sin tolkning bortom den konkreta texten och sina vardagserfarenheter. Olika typer av frågor, fortlöpande relaterade till elevernas olika läsarpositioner, bidrog som stöttning, och den mest effektiva formen av stöttning var en konkret, visualiserande uppgift.
English abstract
English title: Scaffolding of primary school students’ interpretive fiction reading in Russian as a mother tongue in Sweden
Using data from a three-year project with a design-based research approach, this study investigates young students’ reading of fiction in mother tongue instruction and the teacher’s scaffolding of the interpretative process of “envisionment building”. Instruction was planned by teachers and researchers together, aiming to support students’ interpretive reading of fictional stories. Two audio-recorded teacher-student discussions of one children’s story were analyzed, identifying how these students made sense of the narrative, and how the teacher scaffolded reading. The findings show that scaffolding was vital for these young students to build envisionments that went beyond literal readings and beyond their everyday experiences. Different types of questions, continuously related to the students’ envisionments, contributed to the students’ envisionment building, with the most effective scaffolding resource being the use of a concrete visualizing of the task.

Decapling as a mechanism for eliminating ecological and economic contradictions: the essential content and features of the assessment
Authors: Polyakov Vyacheslav V.
Published: January 2022

Awareness of the fact that the largescale use of natural resources in economic activity not only causes irreparable damage to the environment and limits the possibilities for ensuring the effective functioning of future generations, but also negatively affects the effectiveness of the current development of socio-economic systems, currently defines the paradigm of the implementation of approaches to the implementation of ecological and economic interaction. At the same time, one of the defining concepts in the process of studying the problems of ecological and economic interaction is increasingly the socalled decoupling, implying the elimination of the contradiction between ensuring economic growth and reducing the level of environmental impact.

Research and development of software solution for identifying objects of material flow accounting systems based on CCSDS standards
Authors: Maiorov Nikolaj Nikolaevich , . Taratun Vitaly Evgenyevich
Published: January 2022

Although RFID hardware and software solutions for material flow and supply chain systems are widespread, their implementation today is realized at the local process and system level. When solving the problem of transmitting information about equipment between different systems, errors of inconsistency in data formats occur. This situation arises in the practical work of instrument making and space industry enterprises. There is a fragmenta-tion of the used information environments, models and methods. Today the development of new models and methods of identification of objects of material flow is important; they would provide data flexibility and the ability to integrate with existing RFID hardware systems, readers and other hardware systems. As a methodological support there have been chosen CCSDS standards, which offer solutions and development of hardware and software packages to solve the problem of identification of objects based on RFID tags. A systematic approach to representing the object identification levels has been offered and the need to develop a new system that is applicable for the identification throughout the life cycle of the object of material flow has been proved. The analysis of changing CCSDS standards in the development of hardware and software systems is presented to solve the problem of identification of objects based on RFID tags, the developed new model of data representation for the identification of the object is given, the practical implementation in the form of a subprogram is given. In addition, the possibility of adding new information about the object of the material flow is implemented, which has caused an opportunity to solve the problem of monitoring its movement in practice. The presented solution is versatile and can be used with a large number of well-known models of RFID tags. The identification system has been tested successfully so far and the results are presented in the standard CCSDS “Spacecraft onboard interface services – RFID tag encoding specification”.
Is Theism Compatible With Moral Error Theory?
Authors: Lambert St.John
Published: January 2022

This paper considers whether theism is compatible with moral error theory. This issue is neglected, perhaps because it is widely assumed that these views are incompatible. I argue that this is mistaken. In so doing, I articulate the best argument for thinking that theism and moral error theory are incompatible. According to it, these views are incompatible because theism entails that God is morally good, and moral error theory entails that God is not. I reject this argument. Since it is the best argument for thinking that theism and moral error theory are incompatible, I conclude that these views are compatible: one can coherently accept both views.
Dynamic reconstruction method of unmanned aerial vehicle aerial remote sensing image based on compressed sensing
Authors: Ma Guangdi , Yang Weichen
Published: January 2022

Aiming at the current problems of poor dynamic reconstruction of UAV aerial remote sensing images and low image clarity, the dynamic reconstruction method of UAV aerial remote sensing images based on compression perception is proposed. Construct a quality reduction model for UAV aerial remote sensing images, obtain image feature information, and further noise reduction preprocessing of UAV aerial remote sensing images to better improve the resolution, spectral and multi-temporal trends of UAV aerial remote sensing images, and effectively solve the problems of resource waste such as large amount of sampled data, long sampling time and large amount of data transmission and storage. Maximize the UAV aerial remote sensing images sampling rate, reduce the complexity of dynamic reconstruction of UAV aerial remote sensing images, and effectively obtain the research requirements of high-quality image reconstruction. The experimental results show that the proposed dynamic reconstruction method of UAV aerial remote sensing images based on compressed sensing is correct and effective, which is better than the current mainstream methods.
Multi-institutional study of long-term outcomes of a ventral versus lateral approach for mandibular and sublingual sialoadenectomy in dogs with a unilateral sialocele: 46 cases (1999–2019)
Authors: Swieton Natalie , Oblak Michelle L. , Brisson Brigitte A. , Singh Ameet , Ringwood P. Brendon
Published: January 2022

OBJECTIVE

To compare the long-term outcomes of a ventral versus lateral surgical approach for mandibular and sublingual sialoadenectomy in dogs with a unilateral sialocele.

ANIMALS

46 client-owned dogs.

PROCEDURES

Medical records of dogs that underwent unilateral sialoadenectomy between 1999 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed, and information was collected regarding signalment, clinical signs, historical treatment, swelling location, diagnostic imaging findings, sialoadenectomy approach, adjunctive treatments, intraoperative complications, hospitalization time, postoperative complications, recurrence, and contralateral sialocele development.

RESULTS

There were no significant differences in incidences of intraoperative complications, recurrence, or postoperative complications between dogs in which a lateral versus ventral approach was used. Clinically important intraoperative complications included iatrogenic tears in the oral mucosa, ligature slippage from the duct end, hemorrhage, and possible lingual nerve transection. Surgical experience was associated with the likelihood that intraoperative complications would develop. Suspected recurrence was reported in 2 of 26 (8%) dogs that underwent a lateral approach and 2 of 12 (17%) dogs that underwent a ventral approach. Hospitalization time was significantly shorter with the lateral approach than with the ventral approach. Postoperative complications had a short-term onset and occurred in 4 of 25 (16%) dogs that underwent a lateral approach and 3 of 12 (25%) dogs that underwent a ventral approach. Age and presence of a pharyngeal sialocele were associated with development of postoperative complications.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Long-term outcomes for ventral and lateral approaches to sialoadenectomy were favorable and appeared to be comparable. Further prospective study into potential associations of sialoadenectomy approach, age, and pharyngeal sialoceles on outcome is needed.
Strategic management in Japanese tourism industry during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Baranyi Alexandra-Gabriela
Published: January 2022

In recent years, Japan proved to be one of the world’s leading countries in the travel industry by international tourist arrivals, with many other businesses relying on foreign travelers’ consumption within the country. The current Covid-19 pandemic crisis is a challenge for the tourism industry all around the world, as well as for Japan, where the entry restrictions have been strict since the start of the pandemic, foreigners not being allowed to enter the country for leisure purposes. However, even though the national income in this economic area decreased, it is still very high compared with other countries, and many businesses managed at least to maintain their activity on the market. In this paper, I will first analyze what were the strategic measures the Japanese government had taken regarding the national tourism industry during the SARS epidemic at the beginning of the 21st Century. Further, I will compare those measures with the government’s attitude over Japan’s travel industry in the first year of the current pandemic. Furthermore, I will make a comparison of the national income in the travel industry and the number of tourists by major areas in 2020 and the previous year, in order to introduce some strategic measures that could improve Japanese tourism for the next period, considering that the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games will be held this summer.
Justice in the Name of Six Million Accusers: the Case of the Attorney General of the Government of Israel v. Adolf Eichmann in the Context of International Law
Authors: Safarov N. A.
Published: January 2022

INTRODUCTION.The legal saga of the prosecution of Adolf Eichmann, one of the most wanted war criminals and chief “architect” of the Holocaust, raises many ethical, political and legal problems. The Eichmann trial is unprecedented in the long history of international criminal law for many reasons. Although many leaders of Nazi regime were put on trial at Nuremberg before International Military Tribunal, mass killings and other outrageous crimes against Jews was not the main object of the trial. Thereby prosecution and punishment one of the most important organizers of the genocide of Jewish people, creator of new type of evil and new type of crime, become the great task of the State of Israel.MATERIALS AND METHODS.The theoretical basis of the study consists of the works of leading international lawyers specializing in international criminal law, as well as the international extradition of criminals; the analytical base comprises of the decisions of the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal, as well as the national courts of the State of Israel, in particular the cult decision the Attorney General of the Government of Israel v. Adolf Eichmann, as well as the decisions of the national courts of the United States, cited in the article for the purpose of comparative analysis. The methodological basis of the research comprises historical method, methods of formal logic, including analysis, synthesis and analogy, as well as systemic, comparative legal methods and method of interpretation.RESEARCH RESULTS.Based on the study of international legal instruments and international judicial practice, as well as the national legislation of the State of Israel, the author made conclusions related to the abduction of accused from the territory of a foreign state, in particular its consequences in the form of violation of the sovereignty of the state. At the same time, the article contains a statement that the unlawfulness of the arrest does not prevent the court from exercising jurisdiction over the person. In the context of the administration of justice by the State of Israel, the author analyzes the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees of December 14, 1951, paying special attention to the problem of the possible immunity of the accused based on the refugee status granted by the state.DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS.In the course of the study, the author analyzed a significant amount of materials, summarized the doctrinal positions put forward by a number of prominent international scholars, and also formed the conclusion that the trial of Eichmann marked not only the administration of justice over the international criminal, but also provided another opportunity for a broad international publicity of the horrors of the Nazi regime and the need to unite collective efforts of states to save future generations from such international crimes.

Published: January 2022

Вместе с перспективой наступления «Четвёртой промышленной революции» искусственный интеллект, Всемирная компьютерная сеть Интернет, Интернет вещей, облачные вычисления, цифровые технологии заполонили практически все сферы деятельности, большие данные (Big Data) нашли применение в самых разных областях. В настоящее время особую актуальность приобрела концепция «Интернет плюс». Новые технологии оказывают огромное влияние на все сферы экономики, активно продвигая процесс интеграции в Интернет-среду. В условиях современной острой конкуренции и преобразований сфера юриспруденции также не осталась в стороне и претерпела некоторые изменения. В настоящее время в условиях цифровой трансформации традиционные юридические услуги в сфере международного торгово-экономического сотрудничества испытывают разные проблемы. Так, если рассматривать в качестве примера предоставление юридических услуг для стран Шанхайской организации сотрудничества (ШОС), можно заметить, что в данном процессе по-прежнему сохраняются общие проблемы, характерные для сферы традиционных трансграничных юридических услуг, например, «особые дела рассматриваются специально приглашёнными экспертами в этой сфере»; элементы, составные части дел децентрализованы, информация асимметрична; длительное время рассмотрения, сложные процедуры разрешения и утверждения. На фоне нового витка индустриальных преобразований Интернет коренным образом изменил экономику, образ жизни людей и способы производства, а также оказал влияние на изменение структуры развития сферы предоставления юридических услуг. В будущем реформа по созданию и цифровизации платформы по предоставлению юридических услуг для ШОС должна исходить из существующего положения в сфере строительства рынка юридических услуг стран ШОС, из реальной ситуации регионального торгово-экономического сотрудничества. Важно укреплять на базе платформы реализацию политических руководящих принципов, технического руководства, консультаций комплаенса, проектного сотрудничества и проведение опроса общественных мнений об условиях труда. Актуальность исследования заключается в поиске возможности создания более интеллектуальной, удобной, дешёвой, доступной для граждан системы государственных юридических услуг, проведении оптимизации и модернизации текущей модели обслуживания с тем, чтобы предложить новую картину услуг и правовых аспектов совместной модели трансграничных государственных юридических услуг, а также реализовать переход платформы от традиционных к интеллектуальным юридическим услугам. Ключевые слова: концепция «Интернет+», трансграничные государственные юридические услуги, Шанхайская организация сотрудничества (ШОС), цифровая платформа, интеллектуальные юридические услуги, цифровизация, трансграничная торговля, трансграничные коммерческие споры, региональная торгово-экономическая платформа, удобные юридические услуги, модернизированные юридические услуги, юридические услуги на онлайн-платформах.

It presents the calculation of standardized values of indicators, which creates an additional positive effect, i.e. enables to calculate individual (for each business process, for financial and non-financial indicators, for main and additional indicators) and aggregate (for management business processes, operational, supporting, and developing processes) KPIs. This helps make better decisions in the management accounting system for business processes. Conclusions. The presented recommendations are aimed at improving the quality of information support for economic entities engaged in boiler production, in particular, unveiling profitability of implementing certain business processes, making decisions on the transformation of management and financial structure, and generating a strategic plan to update the product mix of boiler manufacture.

Subject. We address the planning of programs for innovative development of the region, which are based on simultaneous investment, production and financial planning.
Objectives. The aim is to create a scientifically sound flexible management model that would consider the specificity of cyclical development of industrial region’s innovative system and the level of its socio-economic development, help overcome the economic determinism of territories, and boost the economic growth.
Methods. The regional model of planning the innovative development programs implies global optimization of domestic current costs of research and development (R&D) of the industrial region, depending on its investment planning, and based on data on trends in fixed investments in the region; on production planning, according to data on trends in GRP; and on financial planning, based on data on trends in accounts payable of organizations.
Results. We created a regional model for planning the innovative development programs. It rests on simultaneous investment, production and financial planning. The model has certain implementation features. The most elaborate for solving the problem under review is a pattern search algorithm. Adding this algorithm as a hybrid function for a genetic algorithm enables to achieve a sufficiently high-quality solution to the optimization problem. In contrast, adding the interior point method as a hybrid function does not always significantly improve the quality of global optimization.
Conclusions. The presented model helps government entities make better decisions regarding the planning of innovative development of the country’s industrial regions.

There are various factors that cause tourists’ happiness. There are tourists who are happy because of the influence of hedonic, spiritual, social, cultural, psychological, economic, and including eudaimonic values. Of all the factors that cause happiness, one of the important factors that need to be explored in determining the happiness of foreign tourists is the eudaimonic value. For tourists, this eudaimonic value is related to various aspects of tourism services in the context of achieving happiness. Despite this, the effect of this eudaimonic value in particular on service products, satisfaction and happiness of foreign tourists when traveling to Bali is not yet clear. Having the background, the objective of this study is to prove the effect of eudaimonic value on product services, examine the effect of eudaimonic value on tourist satisfaction, prove the effect of product service on tourist satisfaction, and examine the effect of tourist satisfaction on the psychological happiness of foreign tourists in Bali. This study took a sample of 171 respondents, namely foreign tourists who traveled to Bali. The analysis method uses SEM (Structural Equation Model). Based on the results of the analysis, the research findings are as follows: the value of eudaimonic has a positive and significant effect on the service product, the value of eudaimonic has a positive and significant effect on tourist satisfaction, the service product has a positive and significant effect on tourist satisfaction, and tourist satisfaction has a positive and significant effect on tourist satisfaction. tourist psychology well-being. Based on the results of the four tests, these findings can formulate a model of eudaimonic tourist happiness in Bali which is acronymized with the term MTES (Model of Tourists Eudaiminic Happiness). The conclusion of this research is MTES which covers the happiness of foreign tourists in Bali consisting of aspects of eudaimonic value, the service product, tourist satisfaction, and psychology of tourist well being. This study has limitations in terms of the number of test variables because there are still relatively many variables as determinants of the happiness of foreign tourists who travel to Bali. For this reason, further research is recommended to test with other foreign tourists variables such as the characteristics of foreign tourists, length of visit, and the desire to visit again to test the happiness of eudaimonic tourists in Bali.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat apakah terdapat hubungan yang simultan antara capital structure dan stock return sekaligus mengetahui determinan kedua variabel. Variabel yang mampu mempengaruhi struktur modal perusahaan yaitu 1) stock returns, 2) profitabilitas, 3) expected growth, 4) ukuran perusahaan, 5) likuiditas saham, 6) uniqueness-keunikan produk yang diproduksi perusahaan, 7) collateral value of asset-aset berwujud yang dapat dijadikan jaminan utang, 8) non-debt tax shields - lindungan pajak yang berasal selain dari utang bunga, 9) konsentrasi kepemilikan saham. Hubungan antara expected return dan risiko dapat dijelaskan dengan Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). Penelitian dilakukan terhadap 131 perusahaan manufaktur yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia pada tahun 2016-2018 dengan menggunakan metode purposive sampling. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada hubungan simultan antara struktur modal dan stock return. Penelitian ini tidak menemukan pengaruh stock return terhadap struktur modal. Hanya ada hubungan satu arah yaitu struktur modal mempengaruhi stock returns. Determinan struktur modal yang signifikan adalah profitabilitas, expected growth, uniqueness, collateral value, dan likuiditas saham. Sementara itu, variabel penelitian lainnya seperti stock returns, ukuran perusahaan, non-debt tax shields dan konsentrasi kepemilikan saham tidak berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap struktur modal. Dari hasil pengujian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa teori struktur modal pecking order theory, agency theory dan trade-off theory dapat memberikan gambaran bagaimana manajer perusahaan di Indonesia membuat keputusan pembiayaan.

Belakangan ini pandemi Corona Virus Disease (yang popular dengan Covid-19)menjadi salah satu variabel utama yang menyebabkan terjadinya perubahan sosial maupun perubahan tata kehidupan bermasyarakat dan bernegara, tidak saja di Indonesia, tetapi bahkan juga di dunia. Perubahan tersebut terjadi di hampir semua sektor, tidak terkecuali pada sektor pelayanan publik. Sejumlah kebutuhan publik terhadap pelayanan publik mengalami perubahan sangat mendasar. Hal ini memerlukan respon dari pihak penyelenggara pelayanan publik, berupa inovasi pelayanan yang sesuai dengan bentuk, jenis, dan sifat kebutuhan publik yang telah mengalami berubahan tersebut. Ketika suatu lembaga penyelenggara pelayanan publikmenjadi bagian dari struktur pemerintah dan/atau pemerintah daerah, maka diperlukan suatu kebijakan publik yang memayungi inovasi yang diciptakan.Berdasarkan penelitian yang peneliti lakukan terhadap pelayanan perpajakan pada Unit Pelayanan Teknis Pengelola Pendapatan Daerah (UPT-PPD) Malang Selatan, Kabupaten Malang Provinsi Jawa Timur,  menunjukkan bahwa: (1) pada masa pandemi ini telah terjadi perubahan kebutuhan publik terhadap jenis pelayanan publik terutama pelayanan pembayaran pajak kendaraan bermotor; (2) para petugas penyelenggara pelayanan publik memerlukan sejumah cara baru dan sumberdaya pendukung guna merespon perubahan kebutuhan publik tersebut; (3) untuk menjaga dan meningkatkan efektifitas pelayanan publik di masa pandemi Covid-19, telah diciptakan inovasi pelayanan dengan nomenklatur “Jelajah Lintas Desa” (Jelita); (4) temuan tersebut menguatkan teori Bromley (1989) tentang Hierarchy of Policy Formulation; dan sejalan dengan asumsi teori Bromley ini pula peneliti merekomendasikanagar Pemerintah Daerah merespon fenomena tersebut dengan mengambil kebijakan yang responsif, didahuli dengan melakukan analisis kebutuhan (assessment) dan menetapkan kebijakan pada tingkat operasional yang kemudian ditindaklanjuti dengan merumuskan standar operasional prosedur (yang dalam teori Bromley disebut sebagai “instutional arrangements”); agar dapat memayungi inovasi pelayanan yang telah dilakukan oleh penyelenggara pelayanan publik, sekaligus dapat menjadi instrumen dalam rangka melakukan transformasi pelayanan publik guna menjaga dan meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan publik di masa pandemi Covid-19 ini.
