Abstract

International experience shows that public participation in the budgetary process and openness in the public sector are necessary

conditions for a proper economic strategy of the state. Financial openness, in the broadest sense, today represents an important

feature of proper fiscal and monetary policy. In a narrow sense, it is more often associated with the openness of the budget process,

especially at the local level. Financial openness contributes to the efficient collection and distribution of public resources. It increases

the responsibility of governments, strengthens the trust of citizens, and eliminates opportunities for corruption. This paper attempts to

develop and test a compact methodology for the operational analysis of online information openness and transparency of the budgetary

process at the local level. The developed methodology involves the use of two criteria: (1) the level of transparency of local

budget, and (2) an assessment of the efforts by authority in ensuring the transparency of local budgets. The basis of the methodology

is expert assessments of the informational significance of particular parts of websites of local authorities in issues of local finance

and budgeting. Based on expert assessments of the significance and actual availability of these information elements, we evaluate an

integrated assessment of the information content of local authoritiy sites in 2020. We interpret the resulting assessment of the information

content of the site with the local budget and finances data as the online openness and transparency of local budgets (Online

Local Budget Index of Transparency, OLBIT). Besides, we evaluate what factors (financial, geographical and demographic) affect

the transparency level measured by the OLBIT.

Abstract

“Today Christ calls us to agree with Him and follow Him on the path which transforms all our existence” (Pope Francis). The first transformation takes place through Baptism. Baptism pardons all our sins both original and personal. However, forgiveness of the original sin remains a controversial truth of faith. Pope Benedict XVI said that “original sin is usually hard to understand” and therefore talking about original sin is a way to say that salvation is primarily universal and not individual. In order to more fully understand what happens at Baptism, this article overviews Biblical aspects of the original sin, development of the doctrine of the original sin in the history of the Church and consequences of the primordial sin. It is also revealed what Baptism does to the original sin.

The comprehention and level of understanding of all sectors and necessary elements of complex municipal climate change governance development in Latvia is not sufficiently high neither for municipal planners/specialists nor for municipal (flood endangered) households, according to the needs of both those groups. There is in Latvia diverse and wide list of separately developed and already available instrument groups for municipal climate change governance (MCCG), especially, complementary communication instruments, as well as suffient enough number of insturments are in possession of the any particular municipality, but usage of them is quite limited by their type and range, and not complementary. Necessary is to change municipal project type thinking-working towards comprehensive planning / programming municipal development / support and pro-active communication and collaboration.
