The moral experience is a reality in every social and cultural life, with variations being in the interpretations given to experience. A people’s value system defines their identity. Consequently, this paper interrogates an example of an African theory of moral value against a moral developmental model, using the philosophical, expositional, analytical and comparative methods. The reflections in this paper focus on the Yoruba cultural context in Nigeria. The paper posits a relationship between a moral value system and development. It argues that the inability of the Nigerian state to attain enviable developmental status can be attributed to moral decadence, apart from inept leadership, ethnicity, antagonism, endless vendetta, political jingoism and cultural sub-nationalism. Since the goal of morality is peaceful co-existence, harmonious interaction, social cohesion and character development, the paper argues that Omoluabi traits can be appropriated to tackle moral problems and questions in contemporary Nigerian society. It concludes that the cultural heritage of Omoluabi can serve as a corpus of raw material for contemporary moral life, and contribute to tackling existential, moral and developmental challenges.

For Shinran (親鸞1173-1262), the founder of Japan's Shinshū (True Pure Land) school of Pure Land Buddhism, the question of how to do the right thing was constrained by the larger problem of how to discern the right thing to do. In his view, human behaviour was constrained by two large issues: the problem of the times and context in which human beings live, mappō, and the consequent problem that human beings were not capable of properly distinguishing between right and wrong, good and evil, and thus could commit any kind of act. This paper argues, drawing upon Merleau-Ponty’s account of “flesh” and the “horizon”, that the possibility of living and acting ethically in the present, among others, depends upon relationships of care and compassion between and among others, within close networks of human relationality, rather than upon abstract ethical absolutes.

This paper argues that Kwasi Wiredu’s consensual democracy is an inadequate alternative to liberal democracy in contemporary Africa because it neglects the beliefs in supernatural realities underpinning governance and political decisions in traditional societies on the continent. The paper holds that as evident in their worldviews and activities, traditional Africans do not depersonalise entities or segregate physical realities from spiritual ones. Deploying historical and conceptual analyses, the paper contends that, essentially, the deficiency of Wiredu’s argument lies in his declining to acknowledge the roles oaths and covenants play in the sustenance of Africa’s traditional governance systems. The paper thus holds that Wiredu’s discountenancing of the role of beliefs in supernatural realities in African societies generally may have resulted in this gap in his understanding of indigenous African political thought and practice.

For a long time, the concept of moral integrity in politics has been highly controversial. While many look at it from a moralist perspective demanding absolute observance of moral values and principles, some scholars, chiefly Niccolò Machiavelli and his many followers, believe that politics is typically devoid of moral considerations. Others, such as Demetris Tillyris, consider politics to be a distinct way of life with a moral yardstick distinct from ordinary moral standards. All these viewpoints are grounded on divergent understandings of the purpose of political power and how politicians ought to behave. This paper attempts to provide an exposition and critical analysis of the various contestations on integrity in politics. Through a normative ethical approach, it explores diverse theoretical perspectives with the aim of arriving at a comprehensive understanding of moral integrity in politics. The discussion and analysis in this paper are based on the theoretical lenses of the Aristotelian virtue ethics and the morality of power games.

This paper deploys historical analysis, conceptual analysis and critical reflection to examine the history of ethnicised politics in Kenya and its negative impact on the management of the country’s public affairs. It sets out with a conceptualisation of ‘ethnicised politics’. It then traces the growth of ethnicised politics in Kenya from the dawn of British colonialism to the present. Thereafter, it reflects on the five-pronged negative impact of ethnicised politics on the country, namely, the gross disparities in economic development along ethno-regional lines, the disproportionately limited economic opportunities for ethnic minorities, the stunting of the growth of issue-based politics, the stoking of violent inter-ethnic conflicts, and the vulnerability of highly urbanised persons and/or those born out of mixed marriages with no strong ethnic loyalties. It concludes that contrary to the widely-held view that Kenyans ought to abandon their ethnic identities in pursuit of ‘nation-building’, respect for the right to cultural identity and the promotion of inter-ethnic equity would make political mobilisation along ethnic lines less attractive.

Knowledge and investment in innovation is becoming the main criteria of competitiveness. The purpose of this paper is to examine concepts of knowledge, innovation and competitiveness. To prove the stated, comparative analysis was conducted on Eurostat data on EU public expenditure on education. Further analysis involved the data of employed and unemployed persons depending on the completed educational program in Croatia. Furthermore, a benchmarking of countries' innovation performance was carried out based on the Global Innovation Index, the Bloomberg Innovation Index and the European Innovation Scoreboard. The aim was to determine the most competitive economies compared to Croatia. The third analysis included innovation performance of Croatian companies. The contribution of the paper is visible in the analysis of the theoretical determination of knowledge and its development completed with the list of future jobs. The importance of the paper is reflected in the necessity of creating strategies corresponding to the future.

The aim of this paper is to investigate different aspects and give a synthesized review on the importance of the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIFs) in health, an area that is less studied in previous research about the investments of the EU funds in the EU. Based on theoretical review, the paper confirms that health can be connected with most of the investment priorities of the EU cohesion policy. Regarding the structure of the ESIFs in health, the results of the multivariate cluster analysis show that EU Member States which have higher regional inequalities in health, lower public health service capacities, lower government expenditure on health and lower self-reported health as good or very good direct a significant share of funds to finance health infrastructure and access to health. In the context of building resilient societies, in using different investment opportunities of the ESIFs for health, it is necessary to strengthen other fields related to health, to combine instruments of financing through an integrative approach and to monitor and evaluate the effects of investments continually.

财务报表的目的是提供关于预算使用者的财务状况、财务成功和财务执行情况的临时资料。因此,财务报告是改善公共管理人员责任和决策的关键。由于财务报表中所列信息的质量取决于会计基础,而基于会计编制的财务报表提供了最佳质量和完整的信息,这项工作的目的是从两个角度来确定财务报表是否是在决策过程中修改的基础上编制的:参与编写书面财务报表的克罗地亚共和国公共管理人员的前景和公共会计的前景。Pored financialjskih izvještaja,proračunski korisnici pripremaju i izvjeeštaje o izvršenju proraČuna tečesto postoji nesklad izmeřu propisanih izvjštajazbog primjene različite računovodstvene osnove。在许多国家,有两种报告制度,这些国家的研究表明,在做出决定时最好使用预算报告。此外,这项工作的目的是确定公共管理人员是否更喜欢使用预算执行情况报告,而不是财务报表中规定的报告。此外,考虑到先前的研究表明,公共部门报告的用途和效用存在差异,研究将确定对上述用途报告的有用性的看法是否更大。这项调查是通过对克罗地亚公共部门公共管理人员和会计师样本的调查方法进行的。已经确定,财务报告不能完全满足公共管理人员的需要,克罗地亚公共部门会计改革有望在不久的将来进行。

Ovaj rad ispituje utjecaj diverzifikacije izvoza na rast ukupne produktivnosti faktora proizvodnje tristo najvećih izvoznika u Republici Hrvatskoj grupiranih u 13 industrijskih sektora. U radu se koriste godišnji financijski podaci poduzeća za razdoblje od 2006. do 2015. godine agregirani na sektorsku razinu. Empirijska analiza se koristi panel kointegracijom (PMG/ARDL) kako bi ispitala učinak diverzifikacije izvoza u kratkom i dugom roku na ukupnu produktivnost faktora proizvodnje. Diverzifikacija izvoza mjeri se sektorskom klasifikacijom koncentracije vrijednosti izvoza za što se koristi Herfindahl-Hirschmanov indeks. Rezultati pokazuju dugoročnu kointegraciju koncentracije izvoza i ukupne produktivnosti faktora proizvodnje pri čemu veća koncentracija izvoza vodi većoj produktivnosti faktora proizvodnje. Ograničenja ovog istraživanja uključuju vremenski okvir analize zbog nemogućnosti pristupa podacima nakon 2015. godine, te mjeru diverzifikacije izvoza koja se može promatrati u odnosu na izvoz pojedinog industrijskog sektora, proizvoda ili na određena geografska područja, pri čemu su posljednje dvije mjere izostavljene iz analize zbog nemogućnosti pristupa podacima.
这项工作考察了出口多样化对克罗地亚共和国13个工业部门中三大出口国生产的总生产力因素的影响。工作中应使用2006年期间企业的年度财务数据。直到2015年。多年来在部门层面积极进取。协整小组(PMG/ARDL)使用实证分析来检验出口多样化对短期和长期整体生产要素生产率的影响。出口的多样化是通过使用赫芬达尔-赫希曼诺夫指数的出口价值集中度的部门分类来衡量的。Rezultati pokazuju dugoročnu kointegraciju koncentracije izvoza i ukupne productuktivnosti faktora proizvodnje pričemu već。这项研究的局限性包括由于2015年后无法访问数据而导致的分析时间框架。年,可以观察到的出口与个别工业部门、产品或某些地理区域的出口之间的差异,由于缺乏数据,最后两项指标被排除在分析之外。
