Quality Assurance and Accreditation Issues in Nepalese Higher Education
Authors: Ghimire Dinesh Mani , Timilsina Jagat
Published: February 2023

The issue of quality assurance has become the focus of many institutions to enhance quality of Higher Education (HE). There are six universities to provide higher education in Nepal. Tribhuvan University (TU) is the oldest and largest university which covers major stake near about 93 percent in Nepalese higher education system. With the aim of examining the practices of quality assurance (QA) in TU, this study has been conducted by selecting the faculty members and other staffs of the faculties of management, education and humanities & social sciences as its respondents. The internal and ordinal scale data were analysed by using descriptive statistics and chi-square test with the help of SPSS 13.0 and Microsoft Excel. Additionally, reliability of the responses on interval-scaled questions was test by calculating Cronbach’s Alpha and an analysis was also made for subjective or open-ended questions. It is found that faculties play prominent role in assuring the academic quality has the highest average value and strict affiliation criteria set by the university influence positively in the quality performance of an institution has the lowest average value. Average value of the responses regarding factor determining is the highest on well trained and experienced resource persons. Therefore, well trained and experienced resource person is the main factor to determine quality assurance in higher education. It is found that improvement on curriculum, faculty development, establishing reward system, discouraging political pressure and providing strict rules and regulations assure the quality in higher education of TU.

The World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic on 11 March2020. The escalation of COVID-19 around the world has been adversely affecting the globe.COVID-19 has impacted almost all sectors in Nepal as well. The Government of Nepal (GoN) has-been taking various actions to respond to the health crisis created by COVID-19. The Go announced a lockdown and invited civil society organizations (CSOs) to support the government to COVID-19 response. Since inception CSOs have been playing a role of watchdog during the crisis in Nepal. They have been working in the frontline in providing essential services, documenting human right violation incidents, or advocating for policy change among others. The GoN has urged CSOs to divert funds and provide support to COVID-19 response. As a result, various humanitarian supports have been provided by CSOs to the needy people. This study has tried to analyze the good practices and interventions by CSOs during COVID-19 pandemic. The study finds out that the CSOs have been contributing to the society during the COVID-19 crisis in two ways. The first one is the direct support towards affected people and the second one is strengthening the Government institutions and mechanism to respond effectively. CSOs are also supported to improve the community engagement, promoting equality and governance and humanitarian support.

The sociology of markets has been the vibrant fields in sociology in the agreement that markets are social structure, law and markets as social structures tend to expand over long periods of time so as to include more people or goods relationship. The structural expansion of markets results in economic and organizational growth, extensive social relationships firms, workers, suppliers, customers, and governments. But like in many sociological literatures, the theory is a rational choice theory diverse; all assume that individuals choose the best action according to personal identification functions. Political economy views the linkages between states, law, and markets and the historical emergence of systems of governance. The capitalist arrangements and their effects on various outcomes, including economic development, is a part and parcel of the sociology of markets. Their approaches emphasize how the connectedness of social actors affects their behavior. Network analysis is a technique for finding social structures in relation to power, resource dependence, cooptation, information and trust to explain the social structures that emerge from their analyses. The world is now terrorized by the corona virus (COVID-19) started in Wuhan, China on November 31, 2019, the corona poses a serious economic socio-cultural, political and global issues. In this chaology, view, firms try to control markets by using their size, the existing market order. The sociology of markets gives us tools to decide whether a particular set of social structures protects economic growth and competition. The Chinese government immediately revived the industry and began rapid production and its global exports.
Opportunities and Challenges of Higher Education: Status of Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Tribhuvan University
Authors: Yadav Shiva Kumar
Published: February 2023

This paper primarily discusses the major challenges the faculty of humanities and social sciences facing today at Tribhuvan University with more emphasis on exploring the future prospects as opportunities in its areas in the context of growing educational unemployment in Nepal. University degree has largely become a basic requirement to enter into the job market in most of the areas particularly in Nepal today. This is because higher education has been accessible to all whoever passes higher secondary education including all undergraduate studies. Although access to higher education has been easier to all the common people there are challenges in getting job in the market even after an individual gets the certificate of university degree. The government and universities of Nepal have not realized yet that we need a body of knowledge to solve the problems at our own local realities, experiences and actual need in the areas of humanities and social sciences. Most of the political leaders representing government and secretaries and officers in bureaucracy are from the field of humanities and social sciences. However, government is hesitant to invest in the areas of humanities and social sciences on higher education. Government’s investment in the universities is decreasing, in proportion, every year. Within this reference the allocation in the areas of humanities and social sciences is very low. Attraction is now increasing in technical area which is good from job perspective. But ignoring the importance of social science discipline which is continuously leading country is certainly not good. The advocates of such ideas have quoted success stories of countries like India and China. But they have not heeded to the fact that mere focus on science will ultimately result in the failure to produce fully developed human resources. These are the challenges facing by social sciences of Nepal. However, there are some new opportunities emerging in this area when it is examined in the context of Tribhuvan University. Some examples can be referenced with growing scope of social science disciplines such as Sociology, Social Work, International Relations, Economics and discipline in humanities such as English as attraction of larger number of students competing to get admission.

Phonological Processes of English Words Pronounced by Japanese Found in Hey Say Jump! Songs
Authors: Adnania Nugra Heni , Subiyanto Agus
Published: February 2023

This study aims to find out what types of phonological processes found in pronouncing English words by Japanese native speakers and to find out the reason why the changes occur. This study is a descriptive qualitative research using transformational generative phonology’s approach. The source of data is 8 songs sung by Japanese’s idol group, Hey Say Jump! The result of the study shows that there are 8 types of phonological processes found from data analysis, they are; backing, stopping, affrication, assimilation, substitution from /l/ to /r/, epenthesis, vowel coalescence, and vowel shift. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the phonological processes happen because of two reasons; first, Japanese has open syllable system so there is no cluster consonants and consonant sound in the final position except for /n/. Second, there are some sounds that are not present in Japanese so the sounds are adjusted according to the Japanese phonological system.

Published: February 2023

The object of the study is encliticization of the Kajai Sub-dialect (sub-dialect of Minangkabau language). The analysis of this study is limited to nouns generated by encliticization of enclitic {-nyo}. As a clitic, {-nyo} has a free form, namely inyo. This enclitic has various representations. What kind of representation (surface forms), what patterns and what processes that happened are the questions that answered in this study. The study uses a qualitative method. Data are collected by literature study. The theory used is the transformational linguistic phonology proposed by Sanford (1973). From the data analysis, five variation of enclitic {-nyo}(surface form) were found as follows: [-ã], [-ĩ], [-ữ], [-ẽ] and [-ỡ]. The appereance of each variation depend on vowel ordiphthong in final syllable of host. The phonological processes that occur from the underlying form to the surface form include weakening, deletion, assimilation/harmony, and nasalization of vowels, followed by deletion of consonant.AbstrakObjek penelitian ini adalah enklitisasi Subdialek Kajai (bahasa Minangkabau).

A Case for Brittle Deformation of the Basement During the Laramide Revolution in the Rocky Mountain Foreland Province
Authors: Matthews Vincent
Published: February 2023

Debate over the question of whether basement rocks folded or faulted during the Laramide orogeny in the Wyoming province of the Rocky Mountain foreland has raged for many years. Proponents of one view or the other have drawn support for their case from theoretical arguments, from experimental laboratory results, from interpretations of seismic and subsurface borehole data, and from direct observation of surface outcrops and subsurface mine exposures. An analysis of the validity and applicability of these various approaches included the generation of synthetic seismic sections and an evaluation at balanced cross sections. This analysis indicated that the notion of a folded basement is supported only by the interpretation of seismic and borehole data whereas the concept of brittle deformation of the basement is supported by all of these lines of reasoning, interpretation, and observation. The conclusion is that structural basement did not fold during the Laramide orogeny.

Бактеріальні інфекції центральної нервової системи (ЦНС) продовжують залишатися важливою причиною захворюваності та смертності. Бактеріальний менінгіт (БМ) визначається як запалення мозкових оболонок (м’якої та павутинної), які оточують головний та спинний мозок і утворюють субарахноїдальний простір. Відмінною рисою БМ є проникнення мікробних клітин у спинномозкову рідину. Основний терапевтичний підхід до бактеріального менінгіту включає протимікробну терапію. Патофізіологічні аспекти БМ висувають певні вимоги до антимікробної терапії, оскільки інфекції субарахноїдального простору швидко спричиняють руйнування мозкової тканини. Тому лікування необхідно розпочинати якомога раніше, позаяк у субарахноїдальному просторі відсутні ефективні захисні механізми. Однак при БМ очікування підтвердження діагнозу та встановлення чутливості бактеріальних чинників лабораторними тестами може призвести до затримки початку прийому адекватного антибіотика. Тоді як раннє призначення антибіотиків на підставі клінічної підозри (емпіричне лікування) може запобігти затримці у лікуванні і, як наслідок, смерті та інвалідності. Крім того, емпіричний вибір протимікробних препаратів, заснований на прогнозуванні найбільш ймовірного збудника, є все більш складним у теперішній час через проблеми зі стійкістю до протимікробних препаратів. Однак сучасні дані свідчать про те, що при підозрі на БМ до отримання результатів спинномозкової рідини, необхідно внутрішньовенне введення антибіотиків. Встановлено, що трьома основними патогенами, які викликають БМ, є Streptococcus pneumoniae (SP), Haemophilus influenzae типу b (Hib) і Neisseria meningitidis (NM), тому емпірична терапія може включати ванкоміцин, цефалоспорин розширеного спектра дії та ампіцилін.
Аналіз сучасного досвіду лікування остеоартриту
Authors: Shtroblia V. V. , Philip S. S. , Lutsenko R. V.
Published: February 2023

Остеоартрит (ОА) є найпоширенішим типом артриту, оскільки зазвичай вражає руки, коліна, стегна та ступні, тобто може вражати практично будь-який суглоб. Він характеризується патологічними змінами в хрящах, кістках, синовіальній оболонці, зв'язках, м'язах та навколосуглобовій жировій клітковині, що призводить до болю, тугорухливості, функціонального обмеження та дисфункції суглобів. Патологічні ознаки ОА, як правило, включають запалення суглоба. Основним симптомом остеоартриту є біль, який, зазвичай, провокується навантаженням і зменшується у спокої, та скутість, що виникає після бездіяльності суглоба. Ефективне лікування болю є наріжним каменем терапії ОА. За останні два десятиліття проведений великий обсяг робіт із розробки неоперативних чи малоінвазивних методів полегшення симптомів остеоартриту і уповільнення його прогресування. Однак єдиної думки щодо стандартних стратегій лікування ОА поки що не досягнуто. Мета: аналіз сучасних даних літератури щодо фармакологічних методів лікування, спрямованих на зменшення болю і запалення при остеоартриті колінного суглобу та аналіз використання наступних фармакологічних засобів: нестероїдні протизапальні засоби, ацетамінофен, внутрішньосуглобова терапія (глюкокортикоїдами та гіалуроновою кислотою). Методи: пошук наукової інформації проведений в електронних базах PubMed, Google Scholar. Результати: у цьому огляді літератури представлені фармакологічні методи лікування остеоартриту, які можуть сприяти усуненню болю, скутості та зменшенню прогресування пошкодження суглобів: нестероїдні протизапальні препарати, ацетамінофен, внутрішньосуглобові ін'єкції глюкортикостероїдів (ГКС) та продукти гіалуронової кислоти (ГК). Висновки: внутрішньосуглобові ін'єкції ГКС і ГК є основою неоперативного лікування ОА, так як наявні в наш час дані показують, що застосування їх призводять до значного зменшення болю та поліпшення функціональних результатів у пацієнтів з остеоартритом.

Deconstruction of the myth of the “russian world” doctrine about Orthodoxy as the basis of Russian identity
Authors: Zborovska Xenija
Published: February 2023

The article analyzes the basic ideology of the “Russian Peace” doctrine: the myth that “Orthodoxy is the basis of Russian identity.” The existence of this ideologeme in the informational and symbolic field of Ukraine and the whole world, its manipulation, and its inclusion in the current context of the Ukrainian cultural space lead to a distorted perception of relations between Russia and Ukraine, the existing war between them. The article attempts to reveal those distortions and semantic substitutions that are ontologically contained in many ideologemes of the “Russian world” and which can be analyzed as typical errors in the context of the argumentation theory. Such research aims to develop a conditional “dictionary” for the mythologist of the “Russian world,” which could be used during the conduct of a thorough information confrontation. The author chose the myth “Orthodoxy is the basis of Russian identity” as the basic ideologeme because most other ideologues are derived from this thesis with the help of skillful semantic manipulations. Secondly, this myth is interpreted and used by Russian ideologues in incredibly diverse ways and in various contexts. Based on the analysis of this myth, the author concludes that the ideology of the “Russian measure” by definition does not meet the criteria of clarity, clarity, and unequivocalness; the meanings of its key concepts are as variable as possible, depend on the context, are used interchangeably in general formulations where clarification of the non-standard use of the term is not foreseen; there is a change of identities, which makes it possible to manipulate historical facts and people’s memory. Russian ideologues constantly use such logical errors in their argumentative practices. In the process of revealing the illogicality and paradox of the mentioned myth, it turns out that the very essence of this mythologem significantly contributes to the unfolding of the crisis of Russian culture and politics, which is spoken about by the same ideologues who praise the messianic role of Russia.
About the use of the image of Skovoroda and his philosophical views in ideological constructions of representatives of the Ukrainian diaspora of the 2nd half of the 20th century
Authors: Artiukh Vyacheslav
Published: February 2023

The article is dedicated to the consideration of the use of Skovoroda’s image in ideological discourse by representatives of the Ukrainian diaspora (D. Dontsov, V. Shaian, M. Shlemkevych). The usual presence of the symbolized figure of Skovoroda in the Ukrainian identity leads to its further use in the system of national ideologies. The creator of the ideology of “active” nationalism, D. Dontsov, interprets the figure of Skovoroda as the bearer of the ideals of the higher “caste” in the conditions of the decline of political and spiritual life in Ukraine in the second half of the 18th century. The creator of the neo-religion of nativism, V. Shaian, sacralizes the person of the philosopher, endowing him with the status of a prophet, which is directly related to the only divine essence – the “highest light”. For the philosopher M. Shlemkevych Skovoroda marks the end situation: the end of the era of Cossack autonomy and the full incorporation of Ukrainian lands into the Russian Empire. Skovoroda’s way of life symbolizes the type of people who escape from real life into spirituality. In general, in the ideological constructions of the authors considered by us, the image of Skovoroda is constructed not so much on the basis of an appeal to primary sources: the philosopher’s texts or the memories of the philosopher’s contemporaries about his lifestyle, but on the basis of his previous images, and here his “Ukrainianness” is the main one. Skovoroda is only a “Ukrainian philosopher” and it was on the basis of this that it was constructed already at the beginning of the 20th century. The image and its further elaboration in the ideological discourse of later times take place. The presence of the image of Skovoroda in the structures of Ukrainian national self-consciousness and stereotyped knowledge about his philosophical views is quite stable: the idea of “two natures”, the doctrine of “three worlds”, the principle of “kinship work” also leads to their further “exploitation” in the texts of Dontsov, Shayan and Shlemkevych
The concept of “Sittlichkeit” in Georg Hegel’s philosophy
Authors: Loy Anatoly
Published: February 2023

The article is devoted to clarifying the central significance of the concept of ha-bituality – “Sittlichkeit” – in the practical philosophy of Georg Hegel. Unlike Kant, Hegel does not place morality (in its imperative version of the transcendentally proper) at the center of his practical philosophy, but law (as the facticity of nor-mative immanent in society). Habituality appears in early Hegel’s philosophy as the basis of sociality: it defines social virtues and social institutions. The habitual-ity appears here as a social totality and self-sufficiency of self-attitude: thus, Hegel affirms habits/convention not only as a substantive morality, but also as a social substance in general. Subsequently, in the Jena “real philosophy” (1805/06), ha-bituality turns out to be the sphere of life of the real spirit and acquires distinctly dynamic features. Hegel analyzes the “absolutely ideal totality of the people”, re-vealing the regularities of its formation from “natural habituality” through forma-tion/ education (Bildung) and recognition to the forms of developed civil society, among which the most important are the family, business relations, law and, fi-nally, the State. Thus, Hegel’s realm of practical philosophy is the sphere of action of the objective spirit, where not subject-object, or even subject-subject relations dominate, but the attitude of individuals to the substance of their life process, where habituality becomes the most important factor, where it is substantial by definition. Thus, in the usual material of experience, the principles of the mind are directly present, which here operates on the basis of “sound mind” and common sense. Next, Hegel moves on to the development of the philosophy of the Absolute Spirit, in which conventionality is an important and mandatory step in its inces-sant formation. Hegel also associates commonality with the action of “God’s law”. There are two poles of extremely objective manifestation of the spirit in customary relations: one translates into the general realm of the spirit the paradigm of kinship, its archaic rudiments, their sanctity, covering the inviolability of the indi­viduals, the second personifies the undeniable authority of the whole, embodied in the state. Social institutions function properly under the condition of healthy mindset of those who rule and use these institutions.
Open science: from theory to practices (Ukrainian and Chinese perspectives)
Authors: Mielkov Yurii
Published: February 2023

The article is dedicated to the analysis of how the ideas of Open Science find their way to the research practices in higher educational institutions, particularly in the examples of Ukraine and China. It is revealed that at the moment most researchers do not possess adequate information about the concept of Open Science, its guidelines are almost absent from regulatory documents and strategies for the development of HEIs, and they just start to appear in plans and declarations of the national level. It is shown that for now only the practices of implementing the lower “procedural” aspect of Open Science, in particular the development of open access to data and information, are in the focus of attention at both national and institutional levels, while the support for the values of democracy and academic freedom mostly remains a declaration. Open Science is argued to be not just the promotion of open access and the building of the corresponding infrastructure, but the whole paradigm of openness and democratization of research practices, including their decentralization and the abandonment of the externally imposed orientation on quantitative and formal indicators of the research effectiveness. It is found to be especially difficult to implement the values of academic freedom and democracy declared in normative documents and development strategies into everyday research practice considering the centralized traditions of management peculiar to many countries of the world, including Ukraine and China. Still, some of the practices that are being more or less successfully realized in China and other countries of the Southeast Asian region, which are at approximately the same stage of movement from excessive centralization of the higher education system to its democratization, are argued to be useful as examples for Ukraine.
Contradictions of Philosophy of Education as an Object of Scientific Analysis
Authors: Cherepanova Svitlana
Published: February 2023

Modern globalization, informational, digital-oriented challenges actualize changes in theoretical and methodological approaches to mastering knowledge, professional-oriented types and technologies of activity. The philosophy of education, as well as pedagogical activity, indicates the existential risk of human beings: the Pandemia of COVID-19 and the Russian military threat to Ukraine’s integrity and independence. The organization of the educational process is determined by new forms: online, offline, mixed learning; Interactive technologies. In the post-nonclassical picture of the world, the idea of the network acquires worldview and value. Obviously, the pedagogical culture of verbal communication, especially artistic and figurative intellectuality, spiritual and semantic potential of words and thought, pedagogical reflection, are apparently methodologically and valuable. The problem of contradictions of the philosophy of education is traced in the plane of dialectical, synergistic, information approaches. The general contra-dictions of the philosophy of education are distinguished, in particular: between the integrity of cultural existence of mankind and the specifics of national cultural correspondence; between the dominant collective forms of the educational process and the individual nature of cognitive activity; between humanistic and sci­entifically-technocratic worldview; between the challenges of modern scientific thinking and the practice of its implementation in educational and pedagogical activity; between digitalization activity and information space safety. The solution of the contradictions of the philosophy of education involves the methodology of synergetics (nonlinearity, systematic, complexity, self-organization). There is a topical contradiction regarding Ukraine between the restructuring of the econ­omy, the widespread development of services and the slow modernization of the production industry, compared to developed countries (USA, United Kingdom, Japan). Its solution is made significantly possible by socially and value priority investments in science-education-technology-production. Moreover, the synergy of efforts of power, political, legislative, managerial structures, community of phi­losophers, scientists, pedagogues, teachers and parents, Ukrainian society as a whole is needed. The overcoming a certain dependence of education/training on electronic communications should be praxiologically oriented. Socio-value priori­ties of science, education, creative self-realization of nonsense are components of a positive image of Ukraine in the European and world communicative space.
Measuring of the Economic Efficiency of Higher Education: Theoretical and Methodological Aspects
Authors: Vitrenko Yurii
Published: February 2023

Russia’s war against Ukraine has led to a significant increase in attention to the economic efficiency of all types of human and material resources being used currently and in future to ensure victory and especially for the post-war recovery of the country. In this regard, the need for scientific substantiation of measuring the economic efficiency of production and provision of services in the field of higher education, being financed by significant amounts of funds from the state and regional budgets, various institutional units of the economy and households, is beyond doubt. The main problem, the solution of which was set as the goal of the article, has been recognized as a lack of scientifically based legal acts approved at the appropriate institutional level in Ukraine, containing provisions on measuring the economic efficiency of obtaining higher education in the conditions of the post-war recovery of the sphere of higher education in Ukraine. The article analyzes the main international and national institutes, in particular, a number of foreign and Ukrainian publications revealing the issue of measuring the economic efficiency of obtaining higher education. The article also presents the results of the analysis of the main indicators of the network and educational activity of higher education institutions of Ukraine, the volumes of state funding of the sphere of higher education of Ukraine in 2005-2020, offers theoretical and methodological proposals and recommendations regarding the institutional regulation of measuring the economic efficiency of obtaining higher education in Ukraine. It is recommended that the measurement of the economic efficiency of obtaining higher education in Ukraine should be carried out separately for: applicants of higher education; higher education institutions; in Ukraine as a whole in accordance with the provisions of the SNR 2008; Methodological provisions for calculating the gross domestic product approved by the Order of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine dated September 17, 2018 No. 187; Methodology of National Education Accounts, UNESCO, 2016 .
Student Self-Government and Its Role in Ensuring the Quality of Higher Education
Authors: Skyba Yurii , Chervona Lesya , Palamarchuk Olha
Published: February 2023

The article updates the role of studentship and student self-government as an active participant in the educational process, a partner in the processes of reforming higher education, that is involved in the government structures of the higher education institution, particularly, in the process of ensuring the quality of higher education. Based on the analysis of normative legal acts and scientific sources, the authors highlight the state and institutional level of influence of student self-government on decision-making regarding the processes of ensuring the quality of education. The foundation for the development of opportunities for student self-government is provided by the state level, that adopts normative legal documents that create prerequisites to the participation of student self-government in the procedures of ensuring the quality of education, particularly, the Law of Ukraine «On Higher Education», that regulates the activities of student self-government bodies in Ukraine; «Standard of higher education»; «Regulations on the Accreditation of Educational Programs for the Training of Higher Education Candidates», that prescribe requirements for the participation of representatives of student self-government in the system of internal quality assurance. The implementation of the above-mentioned legal acts and the student-centered approach in the educational process of higher education institutions are ensured at the institutional level. Student self-government at the institutional level has a significant number of mechanisms and tools for influencing the internal quality assurance of education, for example through: procedures for the formation and implementation of educational programs at higher education institutions; procedures for ensuring the quality of teaching and learning at higher education institutions; procedures for preventing academic dishonesty at higher education institutions. The authors also highlighted the main tools used at higher education institutions considering the opinion of student self-government, such as: surveys, meetings of project groups, academic councils of faculties and higher education institutions, etc. The implementation of the above-mentioned measures, discussion and response to existing problems with representatives of the student body, are the key to improving the quality of education and the prestige of higher education institutions.
Professional Development of Civil Servants: Trends and Perspectives Based on Adaptive Leadership
Authors: Chechel Anna
Published: February 2023

The article analyses the results of surveys of students of higher educational institutions of Ukraine regarding the resumption of activities in the conditions of a full-scale invasion of Russian troops on the territory of Ukraine. It was determined that new conditions and challenges to development require actualizing the issue of adaptive leadership development as one of the important soft skills among the competencies of a successful education seeker. This is of particular importance in the training of civil servants — leaders of communities, who, within the framework of their official powers, must take on not only the issue of ensuring personal needs (livelihood, education, development), but also the responsibility for making non-standard decisions in changing conditions of uncertainty and danger.

Taking into account the challenges and urgent needs of civil servants in the conditions of war, a generalization of the results of the survey of civil servants and representatives of local self-government regarding the development of adaptive leadership, non-standard decision-making and responsibility in solving adaptive problems was carried out. Requests for the development of relevant competencies of adaptive leaders are proposed to be included in educational programs for the training and advanced training of civil servants.

It has been proven that the main criteria for the adaptability of the modern civil service can be defined as the professional development of civil servants as adaptive leaders, increasing the level of their professional competence, the development of personal leadership qualities, the use of best world practices, and the creation of institutional prerequisites for the reform of the civil service and public administration, sustainability and follow-up of the civil service system, its prompt response to demands and challenges arising in connection with the processes of social transformation, economic development, and European integration of Ukraine.
