Steuerung und Governance öffentlicher Großprojekte: Theoretische Perspektiven und Implikationen für die Praxis
Authors: Friedländer Benjamin , Dumkow Jan , Schaefer Christina
Published: January 2024

Öffentliche Großprojekte stehen immer wieder in der Kritik, das Ergebnis einer unzureichenden Strategieorientierung und Langfristplanung zu sein. Planung, Bau und Unterhalt führen nicht selten zu Verzug und Kostenüberschreitungen und Projektbeteiligte tendieren zu unrealistischen Planungsannahmen, einer Unterschätzung der Kosten und Überschätzung des Nutzens. Insbesondere eine hohe Komplexität und Unsicherheit sowie Fehlanreize und unklare Verantwortlichkeiten bestimmen die Diskussion über Projektstrukturen und -prozesse. In analytischer Hinsicht adressiert dies grundlegende Fragen der Steuerung und Governance öffentlicher Großprojekte. Das Untersuchungsfeld ist allerdings noch immer ein junges und als akademische Disziplin multidisziplinär und fragmentiert. An dieser Erkenntnis setzt die vorliegende Abhandlung an und setzt sich zum Ziel, theoretische Ansätze und Strömungen dahingehend zu beleuchten, welche Erklärungsbeiträge aus verschiedenen theoretischen Diskussionen für die Steuerungs- und Governance-Herausforderungen öffentlicher Großprojekte zu ziehen sind.
A shift towards collaboration? Evidence from national digitalisation strategies
Authors: Rackwitz Maike , Palaric Enora
Published: January 2024

This paper seeks to better understand the paradigm shift towards ‘networked governance’ in digitalisation discourse. Little is known about the link between digitalisation reforms and the main reform paradigms in public management studies. By analysing French and German national digitalisation strategies over time, we find that neo-Weberian, new public management, and networked governance discourses co-exist within the digital era, although networked governance rhetoric is increasingly influential. However, a closer examination reveals that this shift in discourse is unrelated to the increased integration of nonstate actors in actual decision-making and service delivery.
Ladner, Andreas & Sager, Fritz (Eds.) (2022). Handbook on the Politics of Public Administration. Edward Elgar Publishing. 428 Seiten. ISBN-978–1839109430.
Authors: Jann Werner
Published: January 2024

The relationship between politics and administration is a classic theme of public administration, while it has been rather ignored in political science. The handbook provides an excellent overview of their interdependencies. It is useful both as a reference to inform oneself quickly and reliably about their relationship in all kinds of fields (and countries, from the US over Russia, China, Japan to Mexico etc.) but it should be particularly valuable as a supplementary textbook, especially in the wake of the (New) Public Management fashion, which often thrived on simple, not to say naive, ideas of the separation of politics and administration. Whether one is interested in e. g. bureaucracy, decentralization, new public governance, administrative reform, implementation, evaluation, regulation, administrative law, international administration, evidence-based policy making, performance management, staffing, accountability or digitalization, one finds short, concise contributions that clarify the political dimensions in these areas, which otherwise are often treated rather technocratically.
Europäische Staatlichkeit in der posthegemonialen Konstellation
Authors: Keil Daniel
Published: January 2024

Die Europäische Union befindet sich in einer umfassenden Krise, die sich von der Euro- und Finanzkrise der 2010er Jahre bis zu den disruptiven Ereignissen der Corona-Krise erstreckt. Deren politische Bearbeitung und jeweiligen Ursachen werden gegenwärtig in den Politikund Sozialwissenschaften sehr unterschiedlich beobachtet: Eine der häufigsten Annahmen sieht eine neue gesellschaftliche Spaltungslinie zwischen Globalisierung und Nationalstaat. Andere sehen die Krise als Effekt eines sich selbst überlebenden Neoliberalismus, der sich derart in die staatlichen Institutionen eingeschrieben habe, dass alternative Entwicklungspfade blockiert werden. Der Artikel greift die Fäden dieser verschiedenen Debatten beziehungsweise Ansätze auf und bündelt sie aus einer staatsund hegemonietheoretischen Perspektive neu. Durch diese theoretische Perspektive wird es möglich, die unterschiedlichen Krisen und ihre Bearbeitung in ihrem Zusammenspiel zu analysieren. Es entsteht eine posthegemoniale Konstellation, die maßgeblich durch die Entwicklungen europäischer Staatlichkeit in der Krise geprägt ist.
Die Demo als Revolte? Vorläufige Überlegungen zu einer politisch-juristischen Theorie der Demonstration in der liberalen Demokratie
Authors: Wihl Tim
Published: January 2024

Was macht eine Demonstration aus – politik-, rechts- und verfassungstheoretisch? Worin unterscheidet sie sich von einer Revolution oder einer Rebellion? Ist eine Demo mit einer kollektiven Meinungsäußerung gleichzusetzen? In dem Beitrag wird das Phänomen Demo vor dem Hintergrund der Demokratietheorie, der Menschenrechte und neuerer Revolutionstheorie eingeordnet. Es zeigt sich, dass Demos in liberalen Systemen in der Krise am ehesten die Funktion „plebejischer“ – manchmal aber auch, scharf davon abzugrenzender, „populistischer“ – Revolten erfüllen könnten: als Symbole und Praxen der Gegenmacht.
Wann ist eine Utopie hinreichend realistisch? Ideale Gerechtigkeitstheorien in der Diskussion
Authors: Jugov Tamara
Published: January 2024

Der Beitrag versteht die Debatte um die angemessene Abstraktionshöhe von Gerechtigkeitstheorien als eine Diskussion darüber, ob (und an welcher Stelle) empirische Fakten bei der Konstruktion der Theorie berücksichtigt werden sollten. Aber wie lässt sich die Frage entscheiden, welchen Grad an Realismus beziehungsweise Utopismus eine Theorie der Gerechtigkeit haben sollte? Der Beitrag entwickelt hierfür zwei Kriterien: Erstens darf eine Gerechtigkeitstheorie nicht auf unzulässigen Idealisierungen beruhen, das heißt sie darf keine partikularen empirischen Fakten als universell gegebene voraussetzen und so ihren Geltungsbereich auf zu wenige Fälle einschränken. Zweitens darf eine Gerechtigkeitstheorie nicht zu abstrakt werden, indem sie von solchen Fakten abstrahiert, die für die Beschreibung von Gerechtigkeitsproblemen konstitutiv sind. Dieser Vorgang lässt eine Theorie zu stark utopisch werden. Als für Gerechtigkeitsfragen konstitutive empirische Fakten identifiziert der Beitrag, erstens, moralischen Dissens sowie, zweitens, Strukturen sozialer Macht. Als Folge dieser Überlegungen muss Rawls’ Unterscheidung zwischen idealer und nicht-idealer Theorie zugunsten eines kritischen und negativistischen Ansatzes verworfen werden.
Action Observation and Motor Imagery as a Treatment in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease
Authors: Mezzarobba Susanna , Bonassi Gaia , Avanzino Laura , Pelosin Elisa
Published: January 2024

Action observation (AO) and motor imagery (MI) has emerged as promising tool for physiotherapy intervention in Parkinson’s disease (PD). This narrative review summarizes why, how, and when applying AO and MI training in individual with PD. We report the neural underpinning of AO and MI and their effects on motor learning. We examine the characteristics and the current evidence regarding the effectiveness of physiotherapy interventions and we provide suggestions about their implementation with technologies. Neurophysiological data suggest a substantial correct activation of brain networks underlying AO and MI in people with PD, although the occurrence of compensatory mechanisms has been documented. Regarding the efficacy of training, in general evidence indicates that both these techniques improve mobility and functional activities in PD. However, these findings should be interpreted with caution due to variety of the study designs, training characteristics, and the modalities in which AO and MI were applied. Finally, results on long-term effects are still uncertain. Several elements should be considered to optimize the use of AO and MI in clinical setting, such as the selection of the task, the imagery or the video perspectives, the modalities of training. However, a comprehensive individual assessment, including motor and cognitive abilities, is essential to select which between AO and MI suite the best to each PD patients. Much unrealized potential exists for the use AO and MI training to provide personalized intervention aimed at fostering motor learning in both the clinic and home setting.

On-the-job training is important for the growth of organizational human capital. The present paper evaluates the efficiency of on-the-job training using the DEA model and knowledge management system to illustrate the interactions of organizational knowledge management concepts for measuring the efficiency of on-the-job training courses for employees within the organizational knowledge management systems. In this research, the DEA method was used to evaluate the efficiency of knowledge management system and analyze the interdependencies of the system. Also, the EU Knowledge and Innovation Management Measurement and the Kirkpatrick models were employed to identify the indicators. This study was conducted on 27 education centers in Iran. The results of evaluating the effectiveness of the knowledge management system show that the factor of “educational resources and facilities” is the most affecting variable and the most affected variable is “educational effectiveness”. Then, based on the DEA method, the weights of the sub-factors of the model were determined, and the efficiency of each step and as a result the efficiency of the whole system was obtained. Inefficient units were discarded and finally the efficient units were ranked. This study can help the organizations to identify the factors affecting the effectiveness of knowledge management programs.

Since its creation in 2016, the FoodOn food ontology has become an interconnected partner in various academic and government projects that span agricultural and public health domains. This paper examines recent data interoperability capabilities arising from food-related ontologies belonging to, or compatible with, the encyclopedic Open Biological and Biomedical Ontology Foundry (OBO) ontology platform, and how research organizations and industry might utilize them for their own projects or for data exchange. Projects are seeking standardized vocabulary across many food supply activities ranging from agricultural production, harvesting, preparation, food processing, marketing, distribution and consumption, as well as more indirect health, economic, food security and sustainability analysis and reporting tools. To satisfy this demand for controlled vocabulary requires establishing domain specific ontologies whose curators coordinate closely to produce recommended patterns for food system vocabulary.

Authors: Schram Ben , Kukić Filip , Janković Rade , Dimitrijević Rasa , Žigić Goran , Orr Robin , Koropanovski Nenad
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND: Concerns are sometimes raised by police applicants undertaking physical fitness testing that they were unfamiliar with the test requirements which in turn negatively impacted their performance. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a single day physical test training session on physical fitness scores of police candidates. METHODS: The sample consisted of female police candidates (n = 133) who attended a pre-academy training session. On the first day of pre-training, candidates’ physical fitness was measured following official assessment day protocols. Measures included maximal handgrip strength, number of push-ups in 10 sec (PU), number of sit-ups in 30 sec (SU), standing long jump (SLJ), Abalakow jump test (AJ), 12 min Cooper running test (CT), and a motor educability test (ME). After the assessment, the overseeing UCIPS staff provided a detailed test skills briefing to candidates (e.g., common mistakes made during testing, how test performance could be improved, etc.). Immediately after the briefing, candidates performed the tests once again. Differences between results were measured using a paired samples t-test with significance set at 0.05. RESULTS: Paired sample t-tests determined significant (p < 0.001), large (Rank-Biserial Correlation = 1.00), improvements in physical fitness scores during the second assessment following familiarisation and feedback on test performance. CONCLUSION: Pre-academy training may be effective in improving candidates’ physical fitness scores, in most tests, prior to the official assessment for the enrolment to police studies. Thus, to optimise initial candidate scores and opportunities for successful enlistment, police agencies may benefit from providing pre-assessment training.

BACKGROUND: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the mental health of healthcare professionals has emerged as an issue of great concern. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the levels of professional quality of life, psychological well-being, and work engagement among healthcare professionals in two Greek hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in December 2021 in two public hospitals in Greece. To assess the levels of professional quality of life, psychological well-being, and work engagement, respondents completed the Professional Quality of Life Scale Version 5 (ProQOL-V), the Psychological Well-being (PWB) scale, and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-17). RESULTS: A total of 150 questionnaires were distributed, and 102 were returned (response rate: 68%). It was found that as burnout levels increased, the levels of work engagement decreased (rho = –0.36, p-value < 0.01). Higher levels of compassion satisfaction were associated with higher work engagement (rho = 0.48, p-value < 0.01). Multivariable analysis revealed that healthcare personnel’s contact with patients or service users exposed to or who have experienced traumatic events was associated with less positive relationships with others (and, consequently, lower levels of psychological well-being) (p-value = 0.035). CONCLUSIONS: Healthcare professionals in the two public hospitals in Greece, experienced moderate levels of compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their psychological well-being was also found to be moderate, and their levels of work engagement were moderate to high. Supporting the physical and psychological well-being of healthcare professionals is essential for their ability to provide high-quality care in times of crisis, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Exhaled breath waveforms, utilized in ventilation monitoring, are aimed at upgrading into COVID-19 disease screening. An algorithm for valid exhaled breath waveform segmentation and feature computation is developed to identify COVID-19 infection using exhaled breath patterns for distinguishing a COVID and non-COVID condition. Two minutes of exhaled breath patterns were recorded using a device and a nasal cannula sampling tube, resulting in the collection of exhaled breath waveforms from each subject. The developed algorithm is utilized to evaluate the valid exhaled breath waveforms and compute the features classified to distinguish COVID and non-COVID conditions. Slope e2, activity e2, and intersection angle of expiration and inspiration phases showed _p_-values of 0.000, denoting the strong significant difference between COVID and non-COVID conditions. The statistical analyses revealed _p_-values of 0.039, 0.008, and 0.024 for area e2, mobility of e2, and complexity e3, indicating their significance in differentiating the COVID-19 condition from the non-COVID condition. The slope, area, and intersection angle, as significant features, showed good predictive power for compliance with _p_-value analysis, with area under the receiver operating characteristic curves of 0.667, 0.693, and 0.775. The slope of e2, the area of e2, and the intersection angle of expiration and inspiration phases are identified as the promising features to be chosen in discriminating the COVID and non-COVID conditions.

Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND: Complications related to anemia in pregnancy are common in referral hospitals of Burkina Faso. This study aimed to analyze the hospital discharge results of cases of anemia for the mother-pregnancy entity at a regional level in Burkina Faso.

METHODS: A hospital-based historical cohort study was conducted on anemia cases identified from hospital records of pregnant women admitted between 2009 and 2011 in the maternity wards of public referral hospitals of the “Cascades” region in Burkina Faso. The hospitalization result was favorable if it was satisfactory for both the mother and the pregnancy, and unfavorable in the other cases. The factors associated with unfavorable hospital discharge were identified through multivariable logistic regression.

RESULTS: A total of 1815 cases of biological anemia in pregnancy were included in the study. The result of hospitalization for the mother-pregnancy entity was unfavorable in 42.6% of cases. The factors associated with unfavorable hospital discharge were rural residence (OR = 1.32; 95% CI: 1.00-1.74), evacuation cases (OR = 1.96; 95% CI: 1.48-2.60), 1st or 2nd trimester of pregnancy (OR = 2.74; 95% CI: 2.03-3.68), severe anemia (OR = 2.46; 95% CI: 1.75-3.46), moderate anemia (OR = 1.39; 95% CI: 1.05-1.85) and poor quality of anemia prevention (OR = 2.81; 95% CI: 1.62-4.88). The unfavorable hospital discharge was less frequent in women in couple (OR = 0.46; 95% CI: 0.26-0.84), in nulliparous and primiparous (OR = 0.69; 95% CI: 0.54-0.88). Age, income level, and reason for admission were not associated with the unfavorable hospital discharge.

CONCLUSION: There was a high frequency of unfavorable hospital discharge of anemia cases for the mother-pregnancy entity in Burkina Faso. Multiple maternal factors were associated with these issues.

The study aims to understand communication in the development of interpersonal relationships in users and followers of second Instagram accounts.  The method used is qualitative descriptive research with a constructivism research paradigm. The theory used is Social Penetration Theory which explains the development of interpersonal relationships that include depth and breadth in interaction.  The results showed that the younger generation, especially students, use Instagram second accounts to form relational partners through relationship development.  Relationship development is done by means of self-disclosure, both in terms of depth and breadth and establishing presence over time.  Each user's distinct personality determines the level of self-disclosure. Communication moves from the exploratory stage to a more intimate relationship depending on whether the relationship produces positive benefits.  If the user feels the benefits, then the information shared will show intimacy (mutual understanding and support), conversely, if the user does not feel the benefit or satisfaction of the relationship with someone who is his follower, then the user will hide the followers from the close friends feature or unfriend in the second account.

This research uses Roland Barthes's theoretical framework to investigate the cultural importance of the traditional Indonesian dish, Tumpeng. In order to better comprehend this cultural artifact, this study seeks to unravel the underlying symbolic meanings and dimensions that are constructed throughout the Tumpeng tradition. It also shows how Barthes's concepts of objects, interpretations, and myths might be useful in this endeavor. It draws attention to the connections among cuisine, culture, and semiotics and emphasizes the relevance of Tumpeng as a unique expression of Indonesian cuisine. This study shows that Tumpeng functions as a potent cultural signifier within Indonesian society, representing communal identity, social hierarchy, and spirituality through an investigation of its visual and philosophical aspects. Tumpeng's aesthetic style, color scheme, and physical arrangement all convey ideas about societal norms and beliefs. Practices of Tumpeng consumption also entail several layers of interpretation, whereby personal and collective meanings are created and communicated. Further, by decoding the meaning of Tumpeng, it is hoped to comprehend the interactions between cultural artifacts, interpretation, and myth-making techniques.
