Neural Activity During Audiovisual Speech Processing: Protocol For a Functional Neuroimaging Study
Authors: Bálint András , Wimmer Wilhelm , Caversaccio Marco , Weder Stefan 
Published: June 2022

Background
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) studies have demonstrated associations between hearing outcomes after cochlear implantation and plastic brain changes. However, inconsistent results make it difficult to draw conclusions. A major problem is that many variables need to be controlled. To gain further understanding, a careful preparation and planning of such a functional neuroimaging task is key.

Objective
Using fNIRS, our main objective is to develop a well-controlled audiovisual speech comprehension task to study brain activation in individuals with normal hearing and hearing impairment (including cochlear implant users). The task should be deductible from clinically established tests, induce maximal cortical activation, use optimal coverage of relevant brain regions, and be reproducible by other research groups.

Methods
The protocol will consist of a 5-minute resting state and 2 stimulation periods that are 12 minutes each. During the stimulation periods, 13-second video recordings of the clinically established Oldenburg Sentence Test (OLSA) will be presented. Stimuli will be presented in 4 different modalities: (1) speech in quiet, (2) speech in noise, (3) visual only (ie, lipreading), and (4) audiovisual speech. Each stimulus type will be repeated 10 times in a counterbalanced block design. Interactive question windows will monitor speech comprehension during the task. After the measurement, we will perform a 3D scan to digitize optode positions and verify the covered anatomical locations.

Results
This paper reports the study protocol. Enrollment for the study started in August 2021. We expect to publish our first results by the end of 2022.

Conclusions
The proposed audiovisual speech comprehension task will help elucidate neural correlates to speech understanding. The comprehensive study will have the potential to provide additional information beyond the conventional clinical standards about the underlying plastic brain changes of a hearing-impaired person. It will facilitate more precise indication criteria for cochlear implantation and better planning of rehabilitation.

Endogenous Economic Growth in China
Authors: Tan Qingshan , Bowen William M. 
Published: June 2022

China has enjoyed spectacular economic growth over the past twenty years or so. However, Chinese regional economic development has relied on foreign direct investment, export-oriented industrialization, and other traditional growth models. While China can perhaps continue to rely on exports, cheap labor, and a huge domestic market for foreign investment for some time to come, sooner or later the question will arise; How long can China sustain economic growth based on her current strategies? We propose in this article the endogenous growth model as an alternative and long-term growth strategy, and focus largely on its treatment of knowledge as an independent factor of production in Chinese regional economies. This article thus proposes a new institutional framework defined as a trilateral commission. The commissions are designed to advise and enhance communication between local and regional government leaders and administrators on knowledge-based collaboration and coordination among business, government, and the research community, as well as on the issue of knowledge generation and utilization.
Does China's Civil Service System Improve Government Performance? A Case Study of Education Bureau of Ningbo City
Authors: Zhou Zhiren , Yin Haitao , Wang Feng 
Published: June 2022

Performance improvement sits at the heart of the study of public administration. Performance improvement requires performance measurement and relies heavily on effective management of human capital. This paper addresses both performance measurement and management of human capital in the context of China. China introduced its civil service system in 1993 with performance improvement as its ultimate goal. After years of implementation and practices, we attempt to make an overall assessment of the reform with a straightforward question “Has the civil service system improved government performance?” Taking the Education Bureau of Ningbo City as a case, our research design begins with efficiency measurement of the bureau and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is applied as the measurement tool. A comparison of agency performance before and after the introduction of the civil service system is carried out to obtain the basic judgment on the effects of the reform. Then seven contributing factors are ranked on the basis of structured focus-group interviews with civil service reform as one of them. It is found that limited efficiency gain was achieved in the Education Bureau and civil service reform made little impact on agency performance. Some theoretical explanations to those findings are provided. We hope that the study not only provides a case for assessment of the civil service reform against its stated goals, but also sheds light on the use of DEA method in efficiency measurement.
MPA Programs in Australia
Authors: Hughes Owen E. 
Published: June 2022

Australian universities have established specific Masters programs for public servants over the past twenty years. However, until recently, despite being established, they have not thrived by comparison with MBA and other masters courses in business. It was not easy to attract students and good staff. MPA programs have generally not captured the public sector community's attention in the same way as is the case in a number of US schools of public administration or management. This situation changed in 2003 with the creation of the Australia and New Zealand School of Government (ANZSOG). This is a consortium of five governments - the Commonwealth government, the New Zealand government, and the three largest state governments - and nine universities set up to provide an Executive Masters in Public Administration. The ANZSOG cohort is composed of future leaders in the opinion of their governments. All students are fully funded by their governments and at a level that is more costly per student than other training. Funding of this scale reflects a major change for governments in Australia. The establishment of the Australia and New Zealand School of Government represents a major change in education of public managers in Australia. There are lessons for other countries in its establishment.
Toward Digital Equality: The Study of ICT and the Effective Public Service Delivery in Taiwan
Authors: Jan Chung-Yuang 
Published: June 2022

Our society has undergone several transformations with the coming of the information age, one of which is the method of public service delivery. Nowadays, some governments provide services through new technologies, such as Internet, BBS, or IC cards. These e-techs will inevitably propel the mutation in org structure, adv process…and so on. From the public administration perspective, obviously, NPM is also a force underpinning the e-governance. In the early 1980s, G. Caiden described that administrative reform came of age. Under the Thatcherism and Reaganism, the core values of government reform are entrepreneurship and competition, and these will be helpful to the formation of E-government. In this paper, some points will be discussed. First, the formation of the society of Information under the development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Second, the transformation of public service delivery in e-government context and the approach of New Public Management (NPM), and of course, the issues of equality, such as digital divide, and digital democracy will also be discussed under the context. Finally, the case of public service delivery of digital equality in Taiwan will be analyzed.
Entrepreneurship in Public Management: The Case of Sri Lanka Administrative Service
Authors: Fernando Lalitha 
Published: June 2022

The role of entrepreneurship in public management remains in debate. Despite the debatable arguments to regarding public entrepreneurship, this paper argues that the concept still has validity of utilizing as a tool for improving the effectiveness and efficiency of public service. By using Hunter's reputational snowballing technique to identify public entrepreneurs among Sri Lanka's administrative service, this study presents the preliminary findings based on a recent empirical study and examines their administrative and decision-making roles towards desired changes in the public service in Sri Lanka. During the period of October 2002 and March 2003, the study gathered the data through in-depth interviews of 25 officers in the Sri Lanka Administrative Service. The results of the study indicate that public managers’ motivation to achieve and their leadership skills, goal clarity, managerial autonomy, performance-based reward system, citizen participation and public support represent major factors contributing to public entrepreneurship in the Sri Lanka Administrative Service. This study also finds that there are entrepreneurs in the Sri Lanka public service. Also the paper argues that there are opportunities and potential in the service to work as entrepreneurs who are innovative, proactive and willing to take some risks beyond their work responsibilities. Further, the author argues that there are significant benefits when the entrepreneurship is applied to public management. Therefore the necessary reforms are needed to sustain such initiatives of public entrepreneurs towards more effectiveness and efficiency of public service.
Effective Public Service Delivery: Governance to “E-Governance in India”
Authors: Assadi Muzaffar 
Published: June 2022

The issues of governance which received much focus during the decade of 1990s, has further expanded with the inclusion of “e-governance”- the latter has enhanced service delivery, enlarged participation and made the democracy more inclusive. India is not an exception to e- governance initiatives which is apparent in the Declaration of year 2001 as “Year of E-Governance”, earmarking two to three percent of plan budget towards e-governance etc. Crisis of governability, catching up with developed world and current trend towards globalization has made India to implement e-governance. There is no uniformity in the application of e-governance in different states or provinces in India. Some states still are in the “preliminary stage” others in “catching up” stage. Only ten states have made serious efforts. Its success rates are not uniform- it varies between partial success to complete failure, including the fact that there are criticisms leveled against it for the reasons that it is “urban biased”, “one way process” and that it would reduce the importance of bureaucracy, politicians. Despite the weakness one should appreciate the fact that it has reduced the cultural and geographical barriers, shifted the paradigm of “space” and helping in completing the project of incomplete modernity. However what is needed to strengthen e-governance is not only by clubbing Cafeteria and Phase model but also the success stories from other countries.

Social assistance policies for elderly is still constrained by low coverage of beneficiaries and hampered access to assistance. This paper aims to determine inclusiveness of social assistance for elderly using a systematic review. Inclusivity in this case means how far policies reach out community, policies’s impact, and integration with poverty alleviation programs. The countries studied are South Africa, Brazil, China and Indonesia because of the policies’s similiarities and included in upper middle income countries. The data used are 25 pieces of literatures that discuss the inclusiveness, selected from Google Scholar (14 pieces of literatures) and Scopus (11 pieces of literatures). The keywords used were “inclusive”, “social assistance”, and “old-age”. Research findings show that social assistance for elderly in four countries is not yet fully inclusive. Elderly’s definition must be expanded and assistance adapted to elderly’s characteristics. Governments have to manage policies and next researchers should conduct studies on other aspects of social security.

Makna Kesejahteraan Subjektif bagi Perempuan Penyandang Disabilitas pada Masa Pandemi COVID-19
Authors: Hidayah Lutfia Nur , Nurhadi  
Published: June 2022

Perbedaan makna kesejahteraan dalam konsep welfare dan well-being telah menciptakan kesenjangan dalam produk kebijakan sosial yang seringkali didominasi oleh aspek objektif-material. Sebagai salah satu upaya dalam memahami konsep kesejahteraan secara utuh, tulisan ini berfokus pada makna kesejahteraan subjektif bagi salah satu kelompok dengan kerentanan ganda, yaitu perempuan penyandang disabilitas dengan kontekstualisasi masa pandemi COVID-19. Penelitian ini dilakukan melalui wawancara mendalam dengan sembilan orang perempuan penyandang disabilitas di KSM Harapan Mulia. Dengan menggunakan konsep kesejahteraan subjektif dan perspektif interseksionalitas sebagai kerangka teoritis, penelitian ini menunjukkan beberapa hasil penting. Pertama, pemaknaan perempuan penyandang disabilitas atas kesejahteraan subjektif berkaitan erat dengan konsekuensinya sebagai perempuan serta penyandang status disabilitas. Kedua, temuan tersebut mendasari temuan lain bahwa kesejahteraan subjektif tidak secara ‘murni’ terbatas pada penilaian internal, melainkan disertai dengan pengaruh-pengaruh yang berasal dari konteks objektif di luar individu yang saling bersilangan.
Kata kunci: kesejahteraan subjektif, perempuan disabilitas, kerentanan ganda, pandemi COVID-19
The distinctive aspect in the meaning of welfare and well-being in its perception has created gaps in social policy products which are often dominated by objective-material aspects. In an attempt to comprehend the concept of welfare and well-being as a whole, this study focuses on the meaning of subjective well-being for one of the groups with multiple vulnerabilities, namely women with disabilities contextualization during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research is conducted through in-depth interviews with nine women with disabilities at KSM HarapanMulia. By applying the concept of subjective well-being and the perspective of intersectionality as a theoretical framework, this study resulted in several main points. First, the perspective of women with disabilities on subjective well-being are closely related to the consequences as women and persons with disability. Second, this result underlies another result that subjective well- being is not 'purely' limited to internal judgments but is accompanied by intersecting influences originating from objective contexts outside the individual.
