FUZZY SYNTHETICAL EVALUATION ON THE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS’ CONSCIOUSNESS ON THE IPE BASIS

Government policy is the key to the development of the individual and private economy (IPE).In the making of a policy, the social consciousness of government officials is one of the important factors to affect the policy made. Since the social consciousness on the development of IPE varies from person to person, it is conventionally indefinite and fuzzy.

Attitudes, knowledge levels and behaviors of Islamic religious officials about organ donation in Turkey: National survey study

BACKGROUND The most important factors affecting the decision of organ donation are socioeconomic,educational,cultural,and religious factors.AIM To evaluate Islamic religious officials’attitudes and behaviors toward and level of knowledge on organ donation and transplantation.METHODS This study surveyed 2350 Islamic religious officials in Turkey.To ensure a representative sample,we used and modified the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics.Based on the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics-II,Turkey was divided into 26 regions.The number of Islamic religious officials in each city and town in each of the 26 regions was proportionate to the population.A stratified sampling method based on demographic factors,such as age,marital status,and educational level,was used.Data were collected by PRP Research and Consultancy Company using computer-assisted personal interviewing.RESULTS Of the 2350 religious officials surveyed,59.9%were in the age group of 35-54 years;84.7%had either a bachelor’s or a master’s degree;99.7%never donated an organ;and 75.4%were not considering donating in the future.About 22%of the religious officials said religious belief was their reason for not donating;45.3%did not indicate any reason.Although 41.5%of participants considered cadaveric organ donation as the best source of organ transplantation,36.3%deemed living donor transplantation as the best option.Meanwhile,52.9%of participants considered donating an organ from a brain dead relative in case they were asked for permission;80.1%considered donating to a relative,if necessary;81.6%considered undergoing organ transplantation,if necessary.About 83.7%of participants deemed organ donation as a proper human behavior;60.5%believed that it is allowed by Islam;55%said they preach for organ donation at their mosque;and 41.1%said their views of organ donation were influenced by their leaders in society.CONCLUSION Religious officials are unsure whether or not organ donation is respectful of their religious belief,but they consider donating an organ if a relative need to undergo organ transplantation.

The impact of accountability on local officials’behavior in the pandemic prevention and control in China based on utility maximization

Background:The COVID-19 pandemic is a public health crisis and an inspection of national governance systems and crisis response capabilities of countries globally.China has adopted a tough accountability system for officials and has succeeded in containing the spread of the pandemic.This study aimed to assess the impact of accountability on local officials’behavior in the pandemic prevention and control based on the official promotion tournament theory and utility maximization analysis framework.Methods:The panel data of 237 Chinese cities were extracted with local officials’characteristics,confirmed cases,Baidu migration index,Baidu search index according to city names,and data were excluded with local officials’relocation or sub-provincial cities between January 1,2020 and May 5,2020.Promotion gain and accountability cost were constructed by adopting promotion speed indicator,and the research hypotheses were assumed based on the utility maximization.It was the first time to apply the interaction model to empirically investigate the relationship between the promotion speed of local officials and the COVID-19 confirmed cases.Results:Our study showed that the promotion speed of provincial governors and mayors significantly affected the number of confirmed cases(β=−11.615,P<0.01).There was a significant interaction between the promotion speeds of provincial governors and mayors(β=−2594.1,P<0.01),indicating that they had a coordinated effect on the pandemic control.Additionally,mayors with different promotion speeds made a significant difference in controlling the imported cases and those who promoted faster better controlled the imported cases(β=−0.841,P<0.01).Mayors with full-time postgraduate education,titles,and majors in science and engineering had a better effect on controlling the number of confirmed cases.Conclusions:Our study provides evidence that the official accountability system has played an important role in containing the pandemic,which suggests that local officials motivated by the accountability system would respond to the pandemic actively for higher utility.Furthermore,provincial governors and mayors have played a coordinated effect in pandemic control.The above evidences reveal that implementing the official accountability system could improve the government’s emergency management capability and the efficiency of pandemic control.Therefore,adopting a strict accountability system could be effective in pandemic containment globally,especially in centralized countries.
