To explore how the state might facilitate translational research requires an understanding of the structure and relationships of state agencies and organizations. This chapter discusses those agencies under the control of the governor including state criminal justice planning agencies, state police and patrol, and corrections. State legislatures, as bodies that enact criminal statutes, also hold great potential in furthering the aims of translational criminology. While not a part of state government, third-sector entities such as statewide criminal justice associations can also play a significant role in promoting the translation of research into evidence-based practice. The point is that state agencies and organizations are in a unique position to advance the goals of translational criminology.

The country has also used opinion surveys (e.g. metropolitan areas of Queretaro) to raise awareness on corruption. This applies especially to agriculture and energy that figure less in the 2030 Water Agenda than territorial development. This implies consistent, multi-annual and mutually supportive national, state and regional water programmes that incorporate the 2030 Water Agenda’s objectives. This implies combining investments into physical water and sanitation or “hard” infrastructure and providing “soft” infrastructure, i.e. mainly the institutions upon which water outcomes rely and their ability to fulfil their duties in an effective and co-ordinated way.

The project continued in 2009, when containers were placed in an additional 28 locations. Currently, in Podgorica and the urban municipalities of Tuzi and Golubovci, 262 containers for separate waste collection are spread over 104 locations. Collected waste is transported to the regional recycling centre at landfill Livade, where it is treated.

They are therefore native-born citizens, but are often referred to as the second generation. They are foreign-born citizens. This is because i) they do not stay long enough to acquire citizenship, ii) the legislation in their country of origin does not allow for dual citizenship or iii) the rules in their host country are too strict.

The recent slowdown in growth has underlined the urgency of measures to prevent the widening of an already large public deficit. Public debt increased from 27% to 42% of GDP between 2007 and 2015 (OECD, 2016f). This implies increasing the proportion of public expenditure which is open to challenge and control. It also means giving more emphasis to the evaluation and monitoring of public services in terms of their outcomes, and developing the capacity within government to exercise strategic oversight over main programmes and ensure that they are accountable and deliver value for money.

Instead they argue that differences in family employment patterns and welfare state provision are of much greater importance (Esping-Andersen and Myles, 2009). Recent decades have seen not only a change in family structure but also a radical shift in the role of men and women within the household, with a substantial fall in the numbers of women who are “homemakers” and large increases in the numbers of women working either full- or part-time. This has lead to a significant change in the employment structure of families, some of which have become increasingly dependent on female earnings to avoid poverty. This section looks at the influence of family employment patterns and earnings on poverty, and focuses on the working-age population. A lack of work among young people and lone parents is particularly strongly linked to poverty (Forster, 2000, Forster and Ercole, 2005).

This funding can be provided on concessional or market terms, as three examples from Thailand, economies in transition and Tunisia illustrate below. This provides annual inflows of approximately THB 2bn ($50mln) p.a. The EERF in turn provides capital at no cost to 10 participating Thai banks, which then provide low-cost loans for energy efficiency projects of up to a maximum of $1.25mln, at an interest rate of no more than 4% p.a. Frequently, banks set an interest rate lower than this maximum figure, depending on their relationship with the customer.

The financial commitment is evidence of personal commitment to the professional project. In general, for a solid project the recommended contribution is generally at least 30% of the total budget. However, an entrepreneur who wants to create a business and whose personal contribution is less than 30% should not be discouraged. He/she must try to present the project as is, or to compensate for this shortfall in personal funds with an additional warranty.

The government promotes mitigation banking32 for new developments that are in protected areas or affect these areas. It consists of delineating a Forest Intervention Area (ZIF) and grouping forest owners in the ZIF through a shared forest management plan. The Directorate-General of Forest Resources (DGRF) provides support for the establishment of ZIFs, which must be on a large scale (more than 1000 ha).

The coefficients should be interpreted as the percent change in the probability of overqualification as a function of the independent variable. For instance the coefficient of Age (25-54) for Australia indicates that persons aged 25-54 have 30% lower probability of being overqualified than those aged 16-24. Standard errors in brackets. ***

Note: Estimated percentage of adults (aged 15-64) who used drugs in the past year. Although cocaine use is decreasing or stabilizing in parts of Europe, wastewater analysis suggests an increase in consumption of the drug in the past five years (see booklet 3, chapter B). There are also indications of an increase in pans of North America.

There have been efforts to co-ordinate programmes through the creation of special oversight commissions (Comision Intersecretarial and the Comision National de Desarrollo Social) and the introduction of a unified register of beneficiaries. While these measures are welcome, reducing duplications and redundancy could require a more ambitious effort to achieve coordination. Carefully reviewing existing federal and local programmes would represent a necessary preliminary step in this direction.

It, instead, targets strengthening the resilience to climate-related hazards, mainstreaming climate change into policy and strategic planning processes, awareness building and capacity development, and funding. For more concrete and measurable mitigation and adaptation objectives, the 2030 Agenda expressly recognizes the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) as the authoritative body for defining global policies on climate change (see UN, 2015). These studies considered relevance from both SDG impacts on climate, and climate impacts on the SDG, with a range of methodologies and results.

The investment will prevent soil erosion and restore degraded lands as well as promote biodiversity benefits from the restored habitats of endangered flora and fauna. The newly forested area will also produce fuel wood, timber and non-timber products to meet the needs of rural communities as well as additional social benefits such as local employment in tree cultivation. The active involvement of local councils, who own about half of the land under the project, is likely to ensure sustainable management of the afforested lands once transferred back to them. The implementation cost for the project during first 11 years (2002-2012), is estimated at $18.74 million.

States must also ensure that rights are realized progressively over time and guard against their erosion. But, within this framework, there is scope for countries to identify their own paths and policy choices for achieving substantive equality for women. Where women are predominantly self-employed, governments might prioritize investments in infrastructure, institutional credit and marketing facilities, as well as the extension of social protection, to support the viability of their enterprises and the sustainability of their livelihoods. Middle- and high-income countries, on the other hand, might place greater emphasis on work-family conciliation policies, including parental leave and child and elderly care services, and use real minimum wage increases to reduce income inequality and gender wage gaps at the bottom of the income hierarchy.

The first set considered the level of education of the woman entrepreneur, the number of years of experience she had before starting the business, and the extent to which this previous experience was in a field related to the business. The second set concerned the business itself: the number of permanent employees, the type of business premises, the amount of capital invested, the sector of activity, the age of the business and its potential. Consultants carried out an initial diagnostic of each woman’s business to identify its strengths and weaknesses and any difficulties, as well as areas where coaching would be beneficial.

The area enclosure aims at stabilizing the soil, natural regeneration of the vegetation and reducing erosion which damages the farmland at the bottom of the hill. It also has economic benefit by serving as a source of livestock feed through “cut and carry” systems and honey production. The hillsides closure is providing business opportunities for the landless youth through tree and honey production. The weather lore section on wikipedia catalogues numerous other examples and provides references to scientific studies that have, in general, demonstrated that long-term weather patterns are consistent with the guidance provided by this traditional knowledge.

International Relations theory has had difficulty explaining the global spread of human rights norms, and in particular the spread of human rights norms in the non-Western world. An exploration of Yemen's integration of human rights-based approaches to economic development into its policymaking gives the empirical foundation to examine the interplay of both norms and self-interest and external and internal pressures in framing such policies. In the case of Yemen, at least, each of these contrasting pairs is to a large degree mutually constituted. Conceptualizing norms and self-interest and external and internal pressures as mutually constitutive differs from the usual contrasts painted between these pairs in international relations theory, but is an important step in moving beyond an impasse among realist, liberal, and constructivist theories and toward a usefully integrative approach.

This case study highlights mechanisms for identifying ‘board ready’ women and tracking appointment to boards, strengthening private and public sector partnerships, and developing an evidence base to demonstrate the importance of women in leadership for both organisational productivity and the wider society. Awareness-raising challenges stereotypes and myths around women’s lack of skills or the association of leadership qualities to specific gendered characteristics, and helps to overcome invisible barriers to women’s participation. This requires shifting employer attitudes to breaks in employment, to support women to maintain an upward career trajectory. Informal social norms attribute women’s role to be as primary caregivers, these need to be challenged or at least matched by flexible arrangements enabling women to meet family or child-rearing responsibilities. Unless these barriers are addressed, pipeline challenges will continue for women, including at the height of their careers.

Non-demographic growth is projected forward using an exponential growth form, starting at the rate implied by the component models at the end of their projections — around 1.8 per cent. This is transitioned up to the all-government growth rate of 3.2 per cent using a logistic curve. The impact on percentage point change in 2049-2050 in health spending of alternative scenarios as to participation - total labour force, older workers, and unemployment - productivity, and population - net migration, fertility, and life expectancy - is assessed.

In Australia, the department responsible for regional development policy takes part in the Water Co-ordination Group, the central government primary co-ordination vehicle on water issues. Italy has set up a national strategic framework (NSF) within which the Ministry for the Environment, Land and Sea has identified quality standards for water services. In Mexico, CONAGUA and other federal institutions provide strong support for the Desarrollos Urbanos Integrates Sustentables (DUIS) for the building of cities with basic services that do not damage the environment and quality of life. In Korea, the government is building new cities with waterfronts and is restoring riversides by rehabilitating urban rivers into eco-friendly ones.

These external effects can in turn become limiting factors to the further development of the groundwater resource (Alley, 2007). Energy subsidies to agriculture have significantly lowered the costs of extracting groundwater in a number of OECD countries and India. The stress from droughts and floods threatens their security even further. Flood, storm and drought disasters have implications for health, the environment and economic development.

Consultation may be organised at national level, regionally or by sector, and carried out either through bodies representing employers or through surveys. Sometimes employers are not only consulted, they decide on the mix of provision. For example in Hungary, since 1 January 2008 the Regional Development and Training Committees (more than half of whose members are drawn from the social partners) now have decision-making powers over the number of students admitted to different programmes and over the qualifications to be delivered in the region. Employers are a diverse group with equally diverse views, and variable in their capacity and willingness to put energy into articulating their future skills needs.

These include the use of algae and mussels (Nordic Innovation initiative) in trout and tilapia farming and changing feed compounds for turbot aquaculture. Such substitution of novel feed sources can also provide significant costs savings. Recirculating systems and integrated multi-trophic aquaculture productions systems are among the ways proposed to capturing the nutrients that would otherwise be discharged to the environmental (Box 1.9).

It is estimated that between 60% and 70% of the GDP of Latin America and the Caribbean is generated in urban areas, where industry and services are usually concentrated (UN-Habitat, 2012). This output is further concentrated in just a few cities. The 40 largest cities in Latin America and the Caribbean generate over one third of regional GDP, and virtually half of that output comes from four megacities: Sao Paulo, Mexico City, Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro. Large cities are generally an aggregation of local municipalities and governments, which complicates urban management and planning (ECLAC 2012d).

Such transparency in the role of municipal- and state-level agencies, and good co-ordination between them, is particularly important in the State of Mexico and Hidalgo, where municipal governments usually receive the documents from the public but pass them on for evaluation by state-level agencies. Table 3.6 summarises the main studies required from developers included in the UK framew'ork and notes the need for strong analytical capacity in authorities evaluating this instrument. In the United Kingdom, transport statements are required for developments considered to have relatively small implications, but transport assessments are obligatory for developments likely to have more impact.

Therefore, efforts have been made to develop indicators that include also other dimensions of human wellbeing (Hoffren etal. These society level measures are primarily developed for the purpose of international comparisons and are not very helpful for monitoring development at a national level. They also typically do not include access to nature as a dimension.

The resulting EDGE indicators are part of the broader “minimum set of gender indicators” as supported by the IAEG-GS under the aegis of the United Nations, which includes indicators on access to media, education, health, public life and decision making, and human rights. The areas selected for initial focus are education, employment, entrepreneurship, and asset ownership. Activities will include the development of a database for international data compilation covering basic education and employment indicators, the drawing up of standards and guidelines for entrepreneurship and asset ownership indicators, and related pilot data collection in ten countries.

Such an approach is crucial not only because inequality has negative impact on growth and creates tension between communities but also undermines democracy. Indigenous peoples have called for post-2015 framework to be based on a foundation of human rights. This is highly relevant as the right to life is broadly interpreted as not just protection from arbitrary killing, but also as creating material conditions where food, clean water, and medicine are available to all.

Finally, quantitative and qualitative data on the burden of preventable and treatable disease, disability and premature death and their determinants among indigenous peoples should also include in such a data revolution envisioned in post-2015 development framework. This would be in line with the High Level Panel's call for designing "goals that focus on reaching excluded groups by making sure we track progress at all levels of income, and by providing social protection to help people build resilience to life's uncertainties". Indigenous peoples however, further, face distinct set of complex issues that require initiatives specific to indigenous peoples.

We would thus expect that the way they analyse the role played by nuclear energy in improving the security of electricity generation is directly or indirectly based on simple, but also perhaps incomplete or biased, indicators that need to be elucidated in order to understand the public attitude towards nuclear energy in ensuring security of supply. They also seem to be fairly knowledgeable of the energy dependence rate of their country. The 2007 Eurobarometer highlights the fact that there are some false beliefs concerning the energy dependency of the European Union. The import ratio for the countries of the OECD Pacific and Europe remains higher than the other regions in terms of import dependency (around 50% by 2007).

This book furthers the role of human factors methods in land use planning and urban design that was recognised by Stevens and Salmon in 2014. At a simplistic level the issues found in both discipline areas are one and the same: the design of the environment brings about emergent behaviours that in some cases are not optimal. Such inquiries are often described as humans and systems not behaving as they were expected to, problems which impact overall system performance, and often issues that have been resistant to a range of an ongoing technical interventions. The same is true for many of the challenges in land use planning and design, including crime prevention and safe cities, the prioritisation of walkable and cycleable neighbourhoods, or the design and implementation of enduring, accessible and attractive public open space.

Many of these technologies, however, are still in the experimental stage. It discusses some new technologies that could potentially shorten the last mile tor households and SMEs in remote areas, and suggests investments that could help close the existing gaps. But such partnerships will only be effective within a well-designed regulatory environment. However, these resources are currently absent or in short supply for many SMEs, especially those in remote locations.

Over the past three decades, economic disparities between and within countries and regions have increased. The world's most rapidly growing economies, including those of Asia, Southern Africa and Latin America, have also seen rapid rises in inequality. Inequality itself threatens economic sustainability, fuelling unrest and conflict and undermining the stability, level playing field and consumer demand on which growth relies (Stiglitz, 2012). Export-oriented models of growth in many areas of industry and agriculture have contributed to the rising labour force participation of women, as discussed in the 1999 World Survey (A/54/227)."

To have a dis/ability opens the possibilities for seeing (understanding) something different because of difference in the disabled’s lens or worldview. Public administration is awash in self-doubt, discomfort and confusion. As it struggles with setting, moving and removing academic boundaries of the discipline, public administration reveals its own dyslexia. The disabling of public administration offers a view from the balcony (or orchestra pit) granting a greater appreciation of ‘the other’ in the public administration student, public administration theory and public administration practices. The dyslexic individual and institution can suffer and celebrate contradiction, paradox, irony, and other delimiting arenas of learning without resistance. Successful learning and understanding can come not in spite of but because of apparent disabilities.
