“…The state funding of sports, the number of educational institutions training professional athletes, coaches, doctors-rehabilitators of sports and other injuries (Cabinova et al, 2021;Kumar et al, 2021;Sarihasan, 2022) directly and indirectly describe the sports management system of any country (Afrifa et al, 2021;Marsova et al, 2021). At the same time, one should emphasize that the investment decision-making process (Moskalenko et al, 2022;Prokopchuk et al, 2022;) in financial markets is complicated in modern conditions due to chaotic behavior and high uncertainty in the development of prices for investment instruments (Carmen et al, 2022;Jankova et al, 2021;Millia et al, 2022).…”

The article proposes an original approach to evaluating the effectiveness of the sports management system, which differs from the classical linear and non-linear optimization methods due to its use of quantile regression models. Three main indicators were chosen for creating the quantile regressions: (i) number of participants in the Olympic Games - as a feature of the effectiveness of the high-achievement sports; (ii) total number of people engaged in sports - as a feature of an effective mass sports system, which ensures a healthy lifestyle of the population; and (iii) state expenses on recreational and sports services. The quality of quantile regressions was validated by the Fisher test and the two-factor variance analysis. The research focused on the data of 30 European countries, which officially and publicly provide access to statistical reports on these issues. The countries were divided into two groups with above-average and below-average effectiveness of the sports management system. Two hypotheses were proposed and tested in the study. Hypothesis H1 was that the effectiveness of high-achievement sports depends on the amount of state funding for developing the sports industry. Research results confirmed this hypothesis for countries with an above-average level of sports management system effectiveness, but refuted it for the other group. Hypothesis H2 stated that the more massive the development of sport in a country, i.e., the more people are engaged in sports and lead a healthy lifestyle, the more likely this country is to achieve victories in high-achievement sports. This hypothesis was confirmed for both groups of countries.

“…Healthcare integration is characterized by several activities, including sharing information, technology, risk, and establishing longterm contracts and production improvement through coordination (Afrifa, Amoah, Fianko & Dzogbewu, 2021). The integration of the health sector helps create visibility within the upstream supply chain, reducing uncertainty for the focal firm.…”

The main objective of this study was to find out the effect of health supply chain in facilitating Universal Health Coverage in Kenya. Specifically, the study identified the effect of Inventory Optimization, Supply Chain Data Analytics, Supply Chain Integration and the influence of Strategic Purchasing on the achievement of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) in Kenya. The research design employed in this study was descriptive. This study relied heavily on secondary data as is the case with most desktop research study. The study reviewed journal articles, unpublished papers and conference papers on Supply Chain Management and Universal Health Coverage. The paper employed a desktop approach to provide answers to the research objectives. Specifically, the paper used a descriptive approach to gather information from peer reviewed publications such as, journal articles, organizations reports and books. The study found that the attainment of UHC in Kenya had remained elusive due to many challenges, which included unequal access to different healthcare services due to poor distribution and use of resources, shortfall in the number of medical personnel, skewed distribution of healthcare workforce, inability of the country's health system to deal effectively with epidemics, corruption in the health sector, the growing burden of chronic diseases, epidemiological as well as a demographic transition with a steep increase among non-communicable diseases (NCDs), health leadership and governance issues, the need to strengthen health purchasing activities, among other myriads of issues. The study recommended that policy makers must purpose to implement strategies to deliver UHC. They must also undertake health financing reforms to mobilize more financing for health and ensure that available funds for health are used optimally and equitably. The state should reorient its health financing strategy away from a focus on contributory, voluntary health insurance, and instead recognize that increased healthcare funding is critical.
