Treatment abandonment-continuity factors
Authors: González Robles María Fernanda , López González Marcela
Published: November 2023

Adherence to medical treatment is a fundamental process for patient well-being, but can be affected by a number of factors both internal and external. Factors that can influence adherence include economic and social problems, urgency of treatment, fear of side effects, and the stigma associated with the disease. The importance of establishing a collaborative relationship and therapeutic alliance between the patient and the health professional to improve adherence is emphasized. The need for awareness on the part of both health care actors is highlighted, recognizing that therapeutic adherence is fundamental for successful treatment. The importance of overcoming the economic gap and patient resistance to spending to ensure effective medical care is also suggested.

Strengthening of the Hammersmith Flyover, London (Phase 2) – design of the prestress
Authors: Jackson Paul , Moore Stuart
Published: November 2023

Hammersmith Flyover is an early precast segmental bridge located in west London which is now owned by Transport for London (TfL), the city's integrated transport authority. It has prestress which is described as external but runs in grouted ducts for some of its length. The prestress was deteriorating seriously and emergency strengthening to critical sections was installed in 2012. It was decided in anticipation of further deterioration that new prestress should be installed to make the structure independent of the original and allow for the possibility of this becoming completely ineffective. This is believed to be the first time that full replacement prestress has been installed in a bridge where it was not possible to remove the original. This paper describes the design, design approach and challenges, including use of innovative techniques which have won an award and bespoke design approaches. Much of the difficulty resulted from the original form of the bridge, which left very little space for the new prestress, and from the requirement to minimise disruption to traffic both below and on the bridge.

Legal Risks and Preventive Countermeasures of the “Shared Labor” Model
Authors: Zhong Jianming
Published: November 2023

Shared Labor is on the rise in China since the epidemic. Due to the lack of uniform applicable standards and legal norms, under the principle of “the original labor relationship remains unchanged”, flexible innovation is carried out in combination with practical needs, and the following characteristics are presented in the short-term exploration: complicated and diversified modes of labor employment; dual subjects of labor employment; the coexistence of traditional typical and atypical labor; and sharing of platforms. The trend of on-line labor employment is prominent. Shared labor is a new type of employment pattern spawned by the new Crown Pneumonia epidemic, which faces the short board of unclear legal application, leading to legal risks and litigation hazards in practice. In practice, there are two basic legal risks, one is the risk of identifying the type of employment; the other is the risk of identifying the legal relationship. This also extends to secondary legal risks, involving work injury insurance treatment, change of labor relationship, employee return and labor contract termination, employment discrimination, administrative liability and many other issues. Therefore, this paper summarizes the three major modes of labor sharing, i.e., B2B mode, BPC mode, and B2C mode, and proposes preventive countermeasures after analyzing their legal risks.
Theory for the Job: Comparing Human Capital and Cultural Capital to Understand Graduates Employability
Authors: Zhou Xin
Published: November 2023

The employability of graduates is an important factor in linking higher education institutions to the labour market. As higher education continues to expand, master’s degrees are gradually becoming more popular in the Chinese job market. This essay will focus on the inequality in employability between Chinese students who have obtained their master’s degrees in UK universities and those who have obtained their master’s degrees in local Chinese universities. Moreover, this essay analyses the causes of this inequality by applying cultural capital theory and human capital theory, including the specific definitions, key concepts and problem analyses of the two theories. Finally, the purpose of comparing and contrasting the two theories is to explain the educational inequity of different employability resulting from the same academic qualifications.

The capacity of the cities to withstand and stand against all kinds of disasters and risks they live and will experience constitutes the urban resistance. Adaptation to climate change and disaster management approach are the basis of urban resilience. The quality of cities and urbanization is closely related to urban fragility. Being prepared for the problems, dangers, disasters and risks that the cities may experience, the capacity to stand up to the mentioned elements and to be compatible with these elements constitute their urban resilience. Urban resilience It covers the whole process from the stage of taking the necessary precautions before the disaster, determining the dangers and vulnerabilities and planning by considering the disasters, to the emergency response/recovery stages after the disasters, in terms of danger, vulnerability, risk reduction capacity, capacity to perform emergency response and repair the damages. Unplanned and unhealthy urbanization results in an increase in insecure, discriminatory and exclusionary negativities. It is known that the development centers of the countries are oriented towards urban areas. This is real At the scale of resilient cities, investigating vulnerability and risk management in full detail requires encouraging a multidimensional approach and identifying alternative opportunities. The concept of fragility, on the other hand, generally emerges as a result of natural disasters. Urban fragility is seen as one of the most important obstacles to sustainable development. The phenomenon of modern urbanization necessitates reducing the level of urban fragility and improving the quality of urbanization. Ecological restoration It is planned as the process of helping to recover an ecosystem that has lost its characteristics, has been damaged or destroyed. In this study, the issue of urban fragility with its different dimensions is evaluated in detail. From the perspective of sustainable development, it will be investigated to reduce the negative effects of this process with ecological restoration practices in the dimension of urban ecological renewal.

The history of the sekurities market coincides with very ancient history. There was still the ancient exchange of goods, the monetary system. The practice of concluding contracts for the timely delivery of goods within a generally agreed time period in Grece and ancient Rome, and the practice of forming trade with a central market unit. During the development of the Roman Empire, the trading center operating under the name of space verdalia sales markets was the center for the realization of products brought by the Romans from the distant regions of the empire. Japan also existed in the I st century of our era as the center of stock trading. But these were economic institutions created by other civilized nations. However, the modern stock market and its counterparts have similar trading principles to the trading centers that were the culture of that time.

In the world experience, Work accidents and Occupational diseases have an important place in the development of social security systems. These insurance branches also pose a threat to the insured, businesses and the actuarial balance of the social security system. Occupational accident constitutes the situation of the accident that occurs completely in working life and is one of the leading occupational risks. Occupational diseases are diseases that are caused by the factors that the employee faces in the working environment. Occupational diseases are diseases specific to certain occupations. The purpose of the occupational accident and occupational disease insurance is to provide social, legal and economic security to the insured individual in case of a work accident or occupational disease. There is an increase in occupational accidents and occupational diseases in working life. This increase harms individual and public health and negatively affects working life. However, it imposes an economic burden on social security systems. The loss of the individual who has had a work accident due to labor, earnings and social life, has material and moral effects on the society in which the accident victim lives. In addition, their effects on the working environment, businesses and social security systems necessitate the examination of work accidents and occupational diseases separately. In this study, work accidents and occupational diseases, their effects on social security systems are emphasized.

Published: November 2023

Demography deals with the study of population problems in a global context, operating in close connection with a number of social sciences. Because demography studies registered birth and death statistics, migration processes, geographical location of the population, as well as its economic, ethnic, age and other structural elements and changes. All this increases the scientific-theoretical and practical importance of demography. In the article, various scientific-theoretical approaches to demography and its development were investigated, as well as global demographic trends were analyzed. According to the conclusion based on the analysis, one of the factors affecting the prosperity of the population growth is the resource factor, and the other is the increasing labor force in the labor market for the long term. During the research, literature review and content analysis methods were used, as well as comparisons and analyzes were made using the obtained data.

Between authority and media actor
Authors: Segaard Signe Bock
Published: November 2023

The article illuminates how local authorities as news actors fill their websites with content. This is done through a study of how active the local authorities are as news actors on the Internet, what kinds of electronic news dissemination they do in practice, and to what degree they experience dilemmas in electronic news dissemination. The analytic point of departure is the tension between a journalistic ideal of news mediation relates to democratic values and a strategic ideal of communication related to branding. Empirically the analysis is based on data from several Danish and Norwegian municipalities which are considered as particularly active on the Internet. Finally the article discusses municipal news mediation on the Internet in the light of the municipality as a public authority as well as a market actor, a service provider, and as a democratic actor. The question is in what way municipal news dissemination on the Internet is a democratic gain. The article shows that the work with news dissemination on the Internet to some degree is characterized by professionalization, centralization, and bureaucratization. The democratic gain of municipal news dissemination is an empirical question and related to the criteria of news selection (in practice). Furthermore the article shows that some municipalities have a more strategic focus while others have a more journalistic focus but one focus does not rule out the other.
Boundary stories
Authors: Diedrich Andreas , Walter Lars , Czarniawska Barbara
Published: November 2023

The role of stories in organizing has traditionally been examined within the context of specific organizations, communities of practice, or social worlds. The study reported here describes the establishment in West Sweden of a centre for developing methods that allow for the recognition of prior learning in people seeking employment. In the report, we highlight the role of stories and storytelling in coordination and organizing between and among organizations, but also between and among social worlds. We refer to such stories as boundary stories, and argue that they are not only the means for creating a shared understanding and facilitating joint actions among a number of public and private organizations, but that they also help to hide potential conflicts, paradoxes, and contradictions among actors.
How effective and democratic are governance networks?
Authors: Sørensen Eva , Torfing Jacob
Published: November 2023

The increasingly consolidated governance research has shown that governance networks play an important role in public governance processes and that networks between public and private actors are today regarded as an effective and legitimate management tool. However there is considerable uncertainty among governance scholars about the implictions of governance networks for the effecitiveness and democratic quality of public governance proceses. This uncertainty is related to uncertainties about how to measure and evaluate their effects. The article provides some criteria for empirical analysis of specific governance networks’ effectiveness and democratic quality. These criteria can be used to detect variations in the effects of different types of governance networks as well as they provide information about specific networks’ behaviour that can form the basis for the organisation of focused effeciency and democracy promoting metagovernance strategies.
Developing work and services in public sector organizations through evaluation
Authors: Vataja Katri
Published: November 2023

The article sheds light on developing work and services in public sector organizations through evaluation use. As evaluation has become enrooted in public sector organizations as a means for renewal, there is a need for empirical knowledge of how evaluative activities lead to learning and development. This study focuses especially on the use of internal self-evaluation in the bottom-up development of work and services. The study uses a multiple case study design to look at eight separate work communities in social care organizations. The use of evaluation is explored from two perspectives. First, the article focuses on the use of evaluation results; it identifies critical components for producing development goals on the basis of evaluation results and for implementing development activities. The trialogic view of learning helps to conceptualize a mediating role for different artifacts in the process of developmental evaluation. Second, the article explores process use as well as the outcomes of developmental evaluation. The case studies suggest that the process of developmental evaluation can generate cognitive, behavioral, attitudinal and affectional effects in the work communities.
Remunerating general practitioners with fees
Authors: Bøgh Andersen Lotte , Serritzlew Søren
Published: November 2023

In all the Scandinavian countries, general practitioners (GPs) are, to a varying degree, remunerated with fee per service. Fees can be powerful economic incentives. However, whether or not GPs respond to these incentives is a point of contention in the literature. Some studies find strong associations between the number of patients and service utilization per patient, and interpret this as evidence of supplier-induced demand, other studies do not. The central claim here is that it may depend on the professional norms. Specifically, we expect GPs to respond to economic incentives only if professional norms (prescriptions for the acceptable actions within a given occupation) are absent or weak. To test this, we compare ordinary consultations, talk therapy and house calls for Danish GPs. Ordinary consultations are regulated by strong professional norms; house calls are regulated by norms of medium strength; and only very weak norms apply to talk therapy. As expected, we find stronger effects of economic incentives when the professional norms are weak and conclude that both economic incentives and professional norms are important factors.
Local government actors’ making sense of the financial crisis
Authors: Brorström Sara
Published: November 2023

This article examines what happened in local government organizations when they faced the financial crisis of 2008/2009, exploring actors’ perceptions of how the crisis affected local governments. It contributes to research into actions taken when organizations face financial crises, using a sensemaking approach, in accordance with the ideas of Karl Weick, as both a methodological tool and theoretical point of departure. The article concludes that, while the actors hesitated to call the 2008 financial situation a crisis, the situation did prompt organizational change. The crisis was described as an opportunity to be innovative and creative, but the described changes made tended to address old problems in old ways. The actors also pointed out that the crisis could still prompt change in local government organizations in the future.
Managerial communication practices
Authors: Arman Rebecka , Wikström Ewa , Dellve Lotta
Published: November 2023

The aim of this article is to describe and analyse observed managerial communication. The research questions concerned: What characterizes managerial communication practices and the organizational consequences? We make use of structuration theory and view communication as a social interaction process in which temporary structures are negotiated. Ten first- and second-line managers were shadowed. The managers used a combi- nation of structuration of caring, interdependency and accountability typical of health care organizations. The communication practices were related to how new norms of reputation management were institutionalized through structuration. The types of structuration were sometimes contradictory and productive communication was rare or non-existent. The managerial communication practices had consequences for the power and domination and for which issues were signified as part of the agenda. The conclusions can be generalizable to other professional organizations.

Introduction to the special issue on evaluation
Vision Zero
Authors: Belin Matts-Åke , Tillgren Per
Published: November 2023

In October 1997 the Swedish Parliament adopted a new road safety policy – Vision Zero. Vision Zero entails a fundamentally new division of responsibility for traffic safety between road users and the so called system designers such as road administrations, municipalities, and professional transport companies among others. In this study the implementation of a formal responsibility for system designers to prevent serious injuries in road traffic between 1997 and 2009 is evaluated. Two main research questions have guided this study namely: How has the legislative process of formalizing the responsibility of system designers progressed? and What important factors might explain the implementation outcome? The main sources of information for this study were official key documents. Based on a goal attainment model, an important conclusion is that the goal to legally formalize a responsibility has only been minimally realized and therefore this might be an example of a classic implementation failure. In order to explain and discuss this low level of achievement a process evaluation approach has also been used. Built on this process evaluation approach, it can be questioned if this is an example of implementation failure after all.

Objetivo: reconocer los escenarios de consumo de alcohol como fenómeno colectivo, y las interrelaciones que se dan en estos espacios. Metodología: estudio cualitativo con enfoque etnográfico, realizado en dos etapas: cartografía y mapeo de lugares de consumo de alcohol y observación no participante, donde participaron jóvenes universitarios de ciencias de la salud. Se realizó análisis de contenido en ATLAS.Ti. Resultados: Emergieron 8 categorías: 1) Características del lugar de consumo 2) Motivaciones juveniles para beber, 3) Autonomía y autocontrol sobre el consumo, 4) Características del consumo, 5) Efectos del consumo de alcohol en el organismo, 6) Conocimiento de riesgo asociado al consumo, 7) Diferencias basadas en la división sexo-genérica,8) Rupturas por pandemia. Conclusión: Los sitios de consumo de alcohol usan la iluminación, muebles, pantallas, espectáculos, variedad de bebidas alcohólicas, diferentes formas de pago y estrategias de seguridad para atraer a los jóvenes. Las observadoras reportan que los jóvenes reconocen como motivos para consumir alcohol: las rupturas de pareja, desinhibirse, ser aceptados por el grupo, disfrutar con sus pares, eventos deportivos, celebraciones, liberar tensión provocada por responsabilidades académicas, laborales, familiares y sentimentales. Utilizan como mecanismos para enfrentar la presión social en los escenarios de consumo, el autocontrol y autoconocimiento, que les permiten establecer estrategias de cuidado antes, durante y después del consumo.

With the development of increasingly advanced and developing technology, there are currently many online buying and selling sites where many online sellers are combined into one site which can make it easier for consumers to buy the goods they want with the many attractive promotions or services they provide. to consumers. From an economic perspective, as trade in traditional markets and modern markets increases, this can create job opportunities for many people. More people choose to shop at modern markets because they are more efficient. The existence of e-commerce has become a threat to traditional market sellers, one of which is a decrease in interest and fewer visitors to buy their products. In this analysis we use the theory of social change. In this theory of social change there are several theories, one of which we take is the conflict theory discovered by Karl Marx. With the role of conflict, it creates social change and order in society. In this modern era, technology is increasingly advanced and can make all work or transaction activities easier. Many people have experienced a shift in shopping places, those who initially shopped at traditional markets are now moving to modern markets.
Increasing Climate Ambition, Decreasing Emissions: The Third Progress Report of the Net-Zero Asset Owner Alliance
Authors:   United Nations Environment Programme
Published: November 2023

The Alliance’s First (2021) and Second Progress Report (2022b) presented data on growth for all of the following metrics: Alliance members, members that have set intermediate targets, and the AuM covered under the Alliance’s target-setting framework. This report tells a story of deepened commitment. It reveals, for instance, that the number of members reporting targets has reached a new record. It also highlights the material impact of members’ actions by providing data on their aggregated absolute GHG emissions reductions—a notable first for the Alliance.
Degree sum and restricted {P2,P5}-factor in graphs

"For a graph $G$, a spanning subgraph $F$ of $G$ is called a $\{P_2,P_5\}$-factor if every component of $F$ is isomorphic to $P_2$ or $P_5$, where $P_i$ denotes the path of order $i$. A graph $G$ is called a $(\{P_2,P_5\},k)$-factor critical graph if $G-V'$ contains a $\{P_2,P_5\}$-factor for any $V'\subseteq V(G)$ with $|V'|=k$. A graph $G$ is called a $(\{P_2,P_5\},m)$-factor deleted graph if $G-E'$ has a $\{P_2,P_5\}$-factor for any $E'\subseteq E(G)$ with $|E'|=m$. The degree sum of $G$ is defined by $$\sigma_{r+1}(G)=\min_{X\subseteq V(G)}\Big\{\sum_{x\in X}d_G(x): X~\mathrm{is~an~independent~set~of}~r+1~\mathrm{vertices}\Big\}.$$ In this paper, using degree sum conditions, we demonstrate that (i) $G$ is a $(\{P_2,P_5\},k)$-factor critical graph if $\sigma_{r+1}(G)>\frac{(3n+4k-2)(r+1)}{7}$ and $\kappa(G)\geq k+r$; (ii) $G$ is a $(\{P_2,P_5\},m)$-factor deleted graph if $\sigma_{r+1}(G)>\frac{(3n+2m-2)(r+1)}{7}$ and $\kappa(G)\geq\frac{5m}{4}+r$."

A 2-distance vertex-distinguishing total coloring of graph G is a proper total coloring of G such that any pair of vertices at distance of two have distinct sets of colors. The 2-distance vertex-distinguishing total chromatic number $\chi_{d2}^{''}(G)$ of G is the minimum number of colors needed for a 2-distance vertex-distinguishing total coloring of G. In this paper, it's proved that if G is a subcubic graph, then $\chi_{d2}^{''}(G)\le 7$.

In the present paper we are using the solutions to the SO(3,1)-gauge invariant Dirac equation written on a Rindler spacetime to work out the conserved current density components. Within the so-called semi-relativistic approximation, the up and down four-spinors are describing either spatially decaying modes or a propagating field leading to a non-zero current along Oz. A direct connection between the critical value of the acceleration and the spinor’s phase is established.
On modeling a plutonium-beryllium neutron source

Published: November 2023

In the present work, the neutron yield of a Pu-Be neutron source has been calculated by using two methods, calculation with the SOURCES4C code developed at LANL and via an equation, respectively. The present work aims to determine and compare the two methods in obtaining the yields and spectra of an (α,n) type neutron source. The source used for this work is being held at IFIN-HH, and was well experimentally characterized in previous work. The results of the present work compare well with the experimental data.
