ВПЛИВ ВІДКРИТОСТІ ЕКОНОМІК КРАЇН ЄС НА РОЗВИТОК ГЛОБАЛЬНОЇ ЕКОНОМІКИ
Authors: Щур К.О. , Грінько І.М.
Published: February 2024

У статті досліджено взаємозв'язок відкритості економік країн Європейського Союзу з розвитком глобальної економіки. Виявлено як негативні так і позитивні наслідки відкритості економік країн у розвитку глобальної економіки. Розглянуто та проаналізовано наукові підходи вчених щодо трактування сутності поняття «відкритість економіки». Систематизовано основні фактори впливу на ступінь відкритості економіки до яких віднесено обсяг внутрішнього ринку, структура виробництва країн, наявність та рівень природних ресурсів, загальний рівень економічного розвитку країни. Для дослідження відкритості економік країн ЄС було проаналізовано динаміку показників таких як: співвідношення торгівлі до ВВП Єврозони; обсяг прямих іноземних інвестицій; глобальний індекс інновацій; чисельність населення та рівень безробіття Єврозони. Розраховано коефіцієнт детермінації для виявлення змін рівня безробіття в Єврозоні. Проведений аналіз показників надав змогу виявити, що країни, які переважно експортують свою продукцію та послуги, демонструють вищий рівень відкритості, що призводить до збільшення обсягів міжнародної торгівлі, сприяє залученню значного обсягу іноземних інвестицій та розвитку виробництва товарів і послуг. Аналіз глобального індексу інновацій дозволив виявити національну інноваційну сферу країн ЄС та визначити позицію країни за рівнем інноваційного розвитку в глобальному масштабі. Вивчено укладені країнами ЄС торговельні угоди з іншими країнами та регіонами світу, як фактор відкритості економіки, що сприяє світогосподарському розширенню горизонтів міжнародної торгівлі та активну інтеграцію країн до глобального простору. Обґрунтовано, що рівень якості життя впливає на зростання чисельності населення, враховуючи міграцію та рівень безробіття, відповідно, це впливає на відкритість економік країн ЄС враховуючи забезпечення доступу до більшого резерву людських ресурсів для розробки та впровадження інновацій, і розвитку нових технологій. Запропоновані рекомендації для підвищення рівня відкритості економік країн ЄС для подальшого глобального економічного розвитку.

Authors: Боденчук Л.Б. , Назаров Д.В. , Карабаджак Г.
Published: February 2024

В статті розглядаються питання особливостей оформлення трудових відносин на підприємствах агропромислового комплексу. Визначено сутність поняття «сезонні роботи», «тимчасові робітники», окреслено коло професій і посад, до яких може бути застосовано ненормований робочий день. Розкриті також особливості оформлення трудових відносин в фермерському господарстві та у суб’єктів господарювання, які зареєстровані як ФОП Приділено увагу оформленню договорів цивільно-правового характеру, розглянуто обов’язкові атрибути, які має договір ЦПХ, визначено, що при його складанні трудових відносин не виникає. Акцентовано, що назви посад (професій), що будуть прописані у штатному розписі, мають відповідати Класифікатору професій. Розкрито роль і значення трудового колективу, охарактеризовано організаційна документація, міститься в Збірнику уніфікованих форм організаційно-розпорядчих документів. Охарактеризовані основні документи, які складаються при оформленні трудових відносин в агропромисловому секторі, визначено, що Колективний договір може укладатися не тільки юридичними особами. Такий договір може бути укладений і фізичною особою підприємцем. Визначено також, всі суб’єкти господарювання, незалежно від організаційно-правової форми та форми власності мають використовувати форми оплати праці, прийняті в Україні. Тому пакет документів, що підтверджує трудові відносини, не формується за чиїмось бажанням, а є наслідком системи оплати праці яка встановлена на підприємстві, у фермера, або у фізичної особи підприємця. Визначено, що працівники, які мають доступ до персональних даних, дають письмове зобов’язання про нерозголошення цих персональних даних. В окремих випадках агропідприємствам більш доречно вести підсумковий облік робочого часу. Тому в статті розглянуті правила ведення підсумкового обліку, розкриті поняття «розрахункова норма» та «календарна норма». Таким чином зроблено висновок, що поза увагою науковців залишилися питання правового регулювання праці на підприємствах аграрного сектору.
Projections of Polonia: Conservation, Re-Housing, and Analysis of Films from the Polish Consulate in Toronto
Authors: Day Laurel
Published: February 2024

The goal of this Master’s Research Paper was to oversee the conservation, repairs, and provenance research of 159 total film reels, 157 on 16mm and 2 on 35mm, that were in the possession of the Polish Consulate of Toronto from 1976 until 2012. To promote national pride and to divert attention from human rights atrocities under Communist policies, the Polish Consulate of Toronto, in partnership with the federal entity Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną “Polonia” (Society for Foreign Liaison with Poles), organized screenings of epic wartime feature films, children’s cartoons, and short travelogues, among other genres, that also aired on Polish television. However, the screenings of such films only strengthened the pride of the diaspora, who largely supported the Solidarność (Solidarity) movement. By contextualizing the films within the history of Polish cinema and nationhood, this project underscores the necessity to save films that served diplomatic, propagandistic, and patriotic purposes.
The Modern Web and Autonomous Frameworks through Extensibility Products
Authors: Pordeli Ali
Published: February 2024

The purpose of this research is to examine the best practices to adopt modern API technologies, web servers, and frameworks to create tools that run on most design/creative industry software. This system is mainly for time, task, and project management on the remotely executed projects, which individual visual designers and teams can use. A prototype was created to support this research and demonstrate and examine the further possibilities of this system. The prototype is in the form of an extension for Adobe XD. Moreover, it analyzes the time and activity of the end-users.

The prototype was created to study the effectiveness of a non-linear time/task management ecosystem for remote workers, primarily users in the creative community who work on visual development software. It can also be utilized to study and validate the efficacy of using an interconnected supervision agent for teams. Consequently, it provided a platform to determine how a team can manage the time and tasks without being sidetracked using a third-party service and focus on the work at hand by staying within the same workspace where the project is being executed.

Ultimately, a PWA (progressive web application) was created to share usage analytics and tasks publicly on the web. Additionally, an API was designed and built to store the data and make it available for further production. The API, built on Node.js, stores data in a NoSQL database and makes it available to other applications and platforms.

The relationship between these parts illustrated a productive way for experts to stay connected with the project managers who are not necessarily skilled in using the design tool. In addition, the difference in how the user interface was designed for each section provided means to examine the benefit of providing multiple user-fronts while keeping the data consistent among the designers/developers and the managers/clients.
What’s the Dirt on Composting? An Exploration on Improving Personal Composting for Residents Living in Downtown Toronto High Rises
Authors: Snyder Madeline
Published: February 2024

Composting is an effective way for anyone to divert their organic waste from landfills. Unfortunately, in high density cities, such as Toronto, composting rates can be as low as 22% (Government of Canada, 2015). This is an opportunity to make a positive impact on the planet while making a simple change. The literature that supports improving composting is focusing on how compost works and what can be done to improve the process, how education and convenience plays a role, and can design thinking help solve improving composting by approaching the problem as a design problem. This study asks residents living in downtown Toronto what their composting habits are like whether they compost. First the participants were given a survey then had a follow up interview that would give a deeper understanding to how composting can be a challenge and how they feel it can be improved. The common theme among the participants was they needed better education on what goes in the composting bin, transparency with how the city handles the compost waste, and improving convenience of the compost waste disposal. A proposed solution is an app that helps the user compost despite whatever their current situation is. For example, if a user does not know what goes in their compost bin, the app will clearly list what goes in the bin depending on what region they live in.
Employee and Workforce Adaptation as a Result of Artificial Intelligence Deployment
Authors: Spirydovich Volha
Published: February 2024

Over the last decade (2010-2020), society saw many technological advancements that significantly impacted our lives and forever changed the world and its perception. Various algorithms are now embedded in our lives and have the ability to drive consumer behaviour. Artificial Intelligence has the advantages of rapidly digesting large volumes of data, exposing trends and patterns utilized for personalization and customization, and achieving the best possible outcome. However, society lacks the understanding of the price that will be paid for the adaptation to new business models. This research investigates the current trends and predictions for labour market changes and their societal impact and provides recommendations aimed at managing and adapting the workforce to the societal changes that resulted from the wide adoption of AI-powered tools. Additionally, this study describes the consequences of AI implementation and its effects on the labour market and outlines the threats of the significant increase in the unemployment rate using qualitative analysis of the secondary data. Recent publications from industry experts are reviewed, and predictions for the labour market are synthesized.

Testing business model assumptions in an early stage startup using lean principles: A reflexive case study examining the application of lean startup approaches applied retroactively
Authors: Calow Peter
Published: February 2024

Lean startup approaches have been widely adopted by entrepreneurs worldwide in recent years, yet little is known about the effectiveness of such strategies when applied to startups retroactively; that is, when a startup has already launched a product without using such methods to guide and grow their venture.

This study aims to explore the suitability of Lean Startup Approaches (LSAs) for existing startups that were founded and developed without incorporating such approaches and assessing the empirical costs and benefits of doing so. In order to explore this question a case study was conducted with PeopleHawk - a SaaS startup based in the United Kingdom.

In the case of PeopleHawk, the benefits derived from integrating LSAs include: the ability to identify when to pivot their business model; possessing a systemized process for gathering, distilling, and integrating primary data from future users; and ultimately co-creating, with future users, a product that they need and are willing to pay for. Another benefit of implementing such LSAs retroactively, in PeopleHawk’s case, was that they already had a functioning platform. This allowed potential users to experience the platform immediately, in turn expediting the time of customer discovery and MVP development.

The costs of integrating such LSAs include: the amount of time spent internally establishing a new common language, practices, and processes; and the time it takes to recruit, interview, and connect with a substantial number of participants. These are sunk costs that ultimately prove wasted when the company achieves a greater understanding of the customer, opportunity, and necessary value proposition.

In conclusion, there is still significant value derived from adopting LSA strategies, despite consuming a significant amount of time. Moreover, the insights uncovered contribute heavily to validating their business model and growth trajectory.
Public Engagement in the Great Lakes Basin: a Regression & Spatial Analysis of Predictors of Public Engagement using Great Lakes Regional Survey Data
Authors: Rudolph Christopher
Published: February 2024

This research project is an analysis of public opinion in the Great Lakes region (i.e., socio-demographic characteristics, values and beliefs) and an assessment of how these characteristics are related to watershed governance actions using LASSO regression and spatial analysis. The Great Lakes Regional Poll (GLRP) is a public opinion survey of 4550 residents (n = 4550) from across the GL basin performed on behalf of the International Joint Commission, and has been the focus of previous social science scholarship and analysis. The biennial survey includes over 60 questions related to perceived status and conditions of the Great Lakes, willingness to engage in water protection actions and questions about individual beliefs and policy/regulation support as well as respondent socio-demographics. The 2018 edition of the survey was analyzed previously using LASSO regression to determine which variables are significant related to public engagement. This study builds on previous research by analyzing the 2021 survey and consistency of results are discussed within the context of the Pro-Environmental Behaviour (PEB) literature. Geo-spatial mapping of residuals is also introduced as a diagnostic tool for model performance. The model includes 61 predictors from 2021 GLRP. Four consistent predictors were identified, including: Political Ideology, Indigenous Identity, Belief of Role of the Individual in GL protection; and Age. Two of these (Political Ideology and Indigenous Identity) are found to be consistent with previous work. The findings from this research related to these predictors gives insight for policy makers as well as researchers to develop theory and strategies related to future public engagement in the Great Lakes region.
Prospective Space-Time Cluster Detection of Emerging SARS-CoV-2 Outbreaks in the City of Toronto
Authors: Buckland Tavis
Published: February 2024

The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 in late 2019 posed a significant risk to global public health. In attempting to mitigate this risk, public health officials were presented with the considerable challenge of developing successful surveillance strategies to monitor disease spread. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of recurrent daily spatio-temporal cluster detection towards the discovery and prioritization of emerging space-time clusters of SARS-CoV-2 in the City of Toronto, Canada. Second, to this objective, we sought to evaluate if the geographic distribution of these clusters could be predicted by sociodemographic characteristics in developing a logistic regression model. Between June 21st and August 16th, 2021, eleven significant space-time clusters were identified and communicated to Toronto’s public health agency for close examination. The results of statistical modelling suggest an association exists between the prevalence of sales, service, and health care sector employment, educational attainment, and marital status with significant clusters of COVID-19.
“Influencer marketing is not a way around the law”: Regulatory Compliance and Law Enforcement in the Canadian Social Media Influencer Field
Authors: Musiyiwa Ruvimbo
Published: February 2024

In 2019, Competition Bureau Canada (“the Bureau”) sent letters to approximately 100 brands and marketing agencies that engage in influencer marketing—advising them to ensure that their marketing practices are in compliance with the law. Against this background, this research uses semi-structured interviews to examine the regulatory compliance efforts of 21 influencer intermediaries who liaise between brands and social media influencers. The research assesses these intermediaries’ disclosure practices together with their thoughts on the Bureau’s targeted outreach and law enforcement in the field. Additionally, the research explores how the intermediaries adjust their regulatory compliance efforts to technological innovation on social media platforms.

This research contributes four main findings. First, intermediaries consign regulatory expectations for disclosure to a secondary level of importance when working to meet the needs of brands and influencers. Second, there is limited intermediary knowledge of the Bureau’s legal standing and activities in the Canadian influencer field. Third, there are various algorithmic (e.g., algorithmic deprioritization) and non-algorithmic (e.g., lengthy disclosure processes) challenges to maintaining high standards of compliance in evolving digital environments. Finally, intermediaries have access to forms of social, cultural, and technical power that can be maximized to influence high standards of compliance. This research contributes to a growing body of scholarship focused on the perspectives of professionals who manage influencer marketing collaborations.
Humanitarians of Instagram: The Western Gaze in a Digital Age
Authors: Wyman Maia
Published: February 2024

This thesis calls for a pictorial critique of pre-packaged overseas volunteering under the pretense of humanitarianism—voluntourism. By using a mixed-method approach of visual content analysis and semiotics, it endeavors to investigate the visual culture of voluntourism on social media. Through the overrepresentation of racialized children in voluntourism imagery on Instagram, the visual culture of voluntourism reinforces paternalistic narratives about the Global South, objectifies subaltern people, and depoliticizes their struggles. These constitute a digital humanitarian gaze, defined through a fusion of Mostafanezhad’s theory of the ‘popular humanitarian gaze’ and Shakeela and Weaver’s theory of the social-mediated gaze, which situate the imbalanced and objectifying mode of looking between Western viewers and photographed subjects from the Global South within a digital, social media context. The moment of volunteering is transformed into tourism by the instantaneous externalization of images shared at a distance with those at home and prospective volunteers. The hyper-visibility, replication, and repetition of social media images of subaltern children in voluntourism cements the centrality of the networked humanitarian image in Western society.

Published: February 2024

Demping, as a tourist village located in Karanganyar Regency, Central Java, has a variety of exciting tourism potential, both natural and religious. The lives of people who are predominantly Hindu still adhere to customs and various activities of religious traditions that are in synergy with their natural beauty. One thing that attracts attention is the public's trust in Sudamala's story. Sudamala tells the story of Durga, ugly and evil until she becomes the beautiful and kind Goddess Uma. Starting from this story, this research attempts to develop it into a children's theater performance by highlighting the values of the Sudamala story. The approach used is a deconstruction perspective from "sanggit" reinterpretation, namely, re-understanding the meanings contained in the story of the Sudamala text with a new meaning. Through this analysis, we can understand in depth the contents of Sudamala's literary works, which are then worked out skillfully in the theatrical work of Buta Grana Ireng children. In the end, the reinterpretation of sanggit in the theatrical performance of the Buta Grana Ireng children was generally able to increase the appreciation of the new theatrical work from the reinterpretation of the Sudamala story at the Sukuh temple and became a new performance work in the Demping Tourism Village.
The philosophical values of Rejang Dayung as an ancient dance inherited from Pura Luhur Batukau, Tabanan, Bali
Authors: Dana I Wayan , Alfirafindra Raja , Anggraeni Agustin
Published: February 2024

Rejang Dayung is an ancient dance inherited from the ancestors, serving a ritualistic function at Pura Luhur Batukau. It is exclusively performed in Jaba Tengah or the media mandala (living room) during the Sinineban (closing) ceremony at Pura Luhur Batukau. Noteworthy for its straightforward expressions in movements, floor patterns, costumes, and accompaniment, this dance merits scholarly investigation. The objectives of this study are to elucidate the philosophical value of Rejang Dayung performance as an ancient dance inherited from Pura Luhur Batukau, examine the correlation between the philosophical value of Rejang Dayung and the societal beliefs of Pura Luhur Batukau, and expound upon the significance of Rejang Dayung's philosophical value based on the concepts of Satyam (truth), Shivam (holiness), and Sundaram (beauty). The authors employed a qualitative method, incorporating field observation and interview techniques to gather data and ascertain the initial presentation of Rejang Dayung. The study's findings unequivocally reveal the philosophical values of Rejang Dayung and the embodiment of the Tri Hita Karana teachings (Balinese concepts for creating harmony), which encompass harmonious relationships between humans and God, humans and fellow humans, and humans and the universe. The philosophical value of Rejang Dayung signifies a profound surrender to the magnificence of Ida Sanghyang Widhi Wasa, God the Greatest, manifested through the collective choreography in pairs, symbolizing the convergence of Shiva-Parwati energy. This convergence, perceived by the people of Pura Luhur Batukau as the guardian of harmony in the universe and its constituents, underscores the dance's cultural and spiritual significance.
Exploration of motif patterns using the space-time-plane system and flat design stylization with La Galigo epic inspiration
Authors: Muslikhani Aghnia Fauzul , Rosandini Morinta , Takao Gina Shobiro
Published: February 2024

The development of storytelling motifs is enhanced through the Space-Time-Plane (STP) system, a drawing technique that integrates Image Way and Grammar principles. This system adeptly represents spatial and temporal dimensions, facilitating the creation of illustrative storytelling. Its application extends to translating images into meaning and vice versa, showcasing its impact on the textile sector. Notably, it drives the evolution of non-repetitive motif compositions embodying story concepts presented with flat design styling. Despite its successes, applying the STP system to motif development poses challenges, particularly when incorporating motifs into product patterns, leading to story truncation. Conversely, the non-repetitive motif composition using the STP system ensures the entire narrative is encapsulated in a single image, preventing any intersection of motifs. Motif development with the STP system draws inspiration mainly from modern sources despite its closer connection to traditional Indonesian art, particularly heroic stories like the epic La Galigo. While developments inspired by heroic narratives, including La Galigo, exist, their visualization remains confined to single-image models. The primary aim of this research is to generate an inspirational motif rooted in Indonesian traditional art, specifically the La Galigo epic. This is achieved through the utilization of the STP system, flat design styling, and repetitive composition or repeated illustration models. Employing an exploratory method, the research culminates in a repetitive motif composition, providing an alternative resolution to the issue of truncated motifs in non-repetitive composition models. The study aspires to contribute significantly to research focused on enriching the application of the STP system in visualizing stories through the manipulation of textile motif compositions.
Complication Patterns of Loop Ileostomy
Authors: Akter Tangera , Hossain AFM Anwar , Yeasmin Shahanara
Published: February 2024

Background: Loop ileostomy is a temporary diversion of small intestinal contents towards exterior through anterior abdominal wall. Though it is a good procedure for a better outcome of primary surgery it has itself many complications. Objective: To determine the clinical spectrum of loop ileostomy complications. Materials and method: This prospective study was conducted from January, 2017 to December, 2017. Consecutive 30 patients requiring loop ileostomy were enrolled in the study by purposive sampling and were categorized into Group A requiring emergency surgery and Group B planned for elective surgery. Data regarding sociodemographic, clinical, surgical and outcome profile were recorded in a pre-structured, interview and observation based, peer reviewed data collection sheet. Data were compiled, edited and analyzed with SPSS version 23. Data were presented as mean and standard deviation, frequency percentage and median with range. Results: The mean age of the patients were 32.79±5.19 years (age range: 20-43 years) and 49.16±6.17 years (age range: 28-76 years) in Group A and Group B respectively with sex ratio of male to female of 4:1 and 3:1. Out of 10 patients in Group A, 4(40%) patients underwent resection anastomosis with ileostomy and primary repair with loop ileostomy whereas 2(20%) patients underwent exteriorization of multiple perforation site. In Group B among 20 patients, 9(45%) underwent low anterior resection with loop ileostomy and 5(25%) patients underwent left hemicolectomy with loop ileostomy. Out of 10 patients in Group A, 5(50%) patients each suffered from skin excoriation and major wound infection. On the contrary, among 20 patients in Group B, 11(55%) and 4(20%) patients suffered from skin excoriation and stomal obstruction. Only skin excoriation was evident as statistically significantly higher in Group B than in Group A (p 0.03). Among the general complications, electrolyte imbalance (60% vs 40% in Group A and B respectively) and respiratory tract infection (10% each in Group A and B) were evident. Conclusion: Skin discoloration, skin edema, major and minor wound infection, prolapse, skin excoriation and stomal obstruction are the different spectrum of loop ileostomy complications in our perspective. Among them skin excoriation is much higher in routine cases than emergency surgery.

Bangladesh is a nation characterized by its reliance on river systems for various aspects of its socio-economic and geographical features. The region experiences a significant number of natural disasters every year as a result of the existence of the river. The region undergoes regular riverbank erosion as a result of the continuous changing of river channels. This study aimed to assess the changing of the Padma River and its impact on land use and land cover in the three adjacent districts of Munshiganj, Madaripur, and Shariatpur. Geographic Information System (GIS) along with remote sensing (RS) techniques were employed to analyze data collected between 1988 and 2023. Best results in detecting land-use/land-cover type and identifying erosional impact were achieved using K-means cluster unsupervised image classification. The accuracy of image preprocessing and classification was separately evaluated using the kappa coefficient. For the years 1988, 1993, 1998, 2003, 2008, 2013, 2017, and 2023, the findings indicated an overall accuracy of 86.36%, 83.32%, 87.1%, 85.43%, 87.3%, 87.92%, 88.42%, 90.06% and a kappa coefficient of 83.02%, 83.32%, 86.66%,85.37%, 87.78%, 87.29%, 87.91%, 86.59% respectively. Arable land accounted for 56.40 percent of the overall accreted land area (26340.06 ha), whereas cropland accounted for just 5.99 percent (2798.10 ha) based on long-term river channel migration results. In 35 years, arable land (23661.21 ha) suffered the most erosion (55.42%), followed by inland water (3351.53 ha), which suffered the least (7.15%). The implementation of an embankment inside the research area is proposed as a potentially efficacious strategy for mitigating riverbank erosion in this particular region. The government may implement long-term rehabilitation projects to support individuals who have been displaced by bank erosion and are now landless.

PERBANDINGAN KRITERIA DECISION TREE PADA PENGETAHUAN MASYARAKAT PADA PEMILIHAN UMUM PRESIDEN INDONESIA
Authors: Masripah Siti , Yusuf Lestari
Published: February 2024

In the Presidential election, gen z as a new voter, must know in advance who the presidential candidate will be in the 2024 election as well as the election process, because if voters do not know and do not understand, it will cause the wrong choice will result in their votes cannot be used even to abstain. What factors cause milennials and gen z generations to not know about elections can be determined using a decision tree. Therefore, in this study, a questionnaire was given to millennials and gen z generation to find out whether voters know the presidential candidate to be elected. The data from the questionnaire is processed to become training data and testing data with a ratio of 70:30. Then measure the accuracy level using the C4.5 algorithm with a comparison of splitting criteria, namely gain ratio, information gain and gini index.  By knowing the right splitting criteria, the decision tree model can help overcome the problem of overfitting in the data. Overfitting occurs when the model is too complex in memorizing training data, thus failing to generalize well to read new data. The calculation results show the difference in accuracy values between Gain ratio, Information gain and Gini index, namely 81.67%, 83.33% and 83.33%. It can be concluded that for the use of Algorithm C4.5 splitting criteria Gain ratio and Gini index have the same accuracy value for accuracy measurement in this study.

The important role of bureaucratic culture in shaping leadership mindset and character is in line with the reduction in the number of bureaucratic pathologies that occur in Indonesia. Corruption practices appear to be a major contributor to the construction of bureaucratic pathology which is long-lasting, because in principle bureaucratic pathology arises as a result of an unhealthy bureaucratic culture which is characterized by long hierarchical chains, bureaucratic specialization and formalization as well as non-linear bureaucratic performance which has an impact on bureaucratic patterns. which is paternalistic, wasteful and loses money, budgeting that is not on target, a procedural system that tends to be complicated, and biased exercise of authority. Referring to the first element that builds a corrupt bureaucratic culture, namely "intention or motive" or mens rea, improvement actions focus on controlling human resources. Transformation of unhealthy bureaucratic patterns and systems can actually be realized through a mental revolution movement and the character of human resources or bureaucrats. Civil service education and training can be a solution in optimizing the mental revolution movement through character building and basic government ethics as well as developing competencies and skills. This research was conducted to find out and understand how big the urgency of civil service or civil service education is in preventing bureaucratic pathology. Based on research results, civil service or civil service education can be an effective solution in forming the character and mentality of prospective bureaucrats. This is shown by the pattern of education and teaching from an early age on how a prospective leader understands and appreciates his duties and responsibilities as a public servant through character education, mental revolution education, substantial deepening of bureaucratic ethics and government materials.
