The relocation of the Indonesian capital has become a significant topic of debate in Indonesian public policy. In analyzing public policy and its implications, this study explores the factors that influenced the government's decision to move the country's capital. Using a multidisciplinary approach, this study considers the geopolitical, economic, social, and environmental aspects associated with the relocation process. The implications of this policy are also examined, including its impact on national development, the distribution of political power, as well as people's welfare. This research aims to provide a deeper understanding of the process of relocating Indonesia's capital and evaluate its impact on society and the country as a whole. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Congenital syphilis (CS) cases in worldwide have reached 700.000 cases until 2023. Especially late or untreated cases can cause up to 80% of poor pregnancy outcomes. This case report discusses the treatment strategy of symptomatic CS case in a newborn with multiple comorbidities. A newborn female infant was admitted with cutaneous lesions comprising white patches with a bluish-red base, as well as jaundice. The patient was born to a single mother with a history of multiple partners and never had an antenatal care. The patient exhibited pale yellow stools with a putty-like consistency and dark-yellow urine. The patient was tachypnea (oxygen saturation of 86% on room air), exhibiting jaundice of the eyes and skin (Cramer IV). Laboratory results were positive for syphilis, severe thrombocytopenia (10×103/µL), hyperbilirubinemia with total bilirubin 18.89 mg/dL, direct bilirubin 11.81 mg/dL, and indirect bilirubin 7.08 mg/dL. Babygram suggested pneumonia, while 2-phase abdominal ultrasound showed impaired gallbladder contractility. The patient was diagnosed with CS, pneumonia neonatal, and cholestasis suspicious for biliary atresia. The patient was stabilized hemodynamically, administered intravenous fluids containing dextrose 10%, benzathine penicillin G 130,000 IU was administered intramuscularly every 24 hours (10 days) according to hospital availability for syphilis treatment, combination of cefoperazone-sulbactam and gentamicin for the treatment of pneumonia, and ursodeoxycholic-acid (UDCA) for the treatment of cholestasis. The patient's condition showed gradual improvement, with the skin lesions also demonstrating improvement, although jaundice persisted. In the last follow-up, due to stable condition, the patient was discharged to outpatient with continued oral UDCA therapy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Concern over climate change currently occupies a central role, with the staging of world environmental events to discuss the effects of excessive fossil fuel use and their negative impacts on the environment. The Paris Agreement was signed within this perspective, in which Brazil adopted targets for the reconfiguration of its energy matrix and subsequently created the Política Nacional de Biocombustíveis (RenovaBio - National Biofuels Policy), through Law no. 13.576/2017, to reach these targets. As another public policy aimed at encouraging agribusiness, being derived from a strong history of the sugar-energy sector depending on state measures to sustain it, it is important to reflect beyond the formal content of the public policy and observe the interests it seeks to defend. Furthermore, by creating an expansion mechanism for the cultivation of sugarcane, RenovaBio brings territorial and environmental impacts. Thus, the present article aims to analyze the formulation stage of the public policy, to verify the economic and political context that supported the approval of, and subsequent alterations to RenovaBio. Methodologically, the analysis was carried out on three levels: Superficial; Territorial Coverage; and Structural. It was found that there was the formation of a network of actors involved in the process, which demonstrates the existence of power relationships, at times translated through subordination, resource dependence, or political support. These actors were involved in the construction of the text of the Law to favor the group, the approval of the bill in record time, its directed regulation, the relaxation of requirements, and the fixing of high Decarbonization Credit acquisition targets. RenovaBio is extremely promising; however, there are loopholes that need to be resolved and a series of political interferences that hinder the development, transparency, and credibility of the program.

Using experimental data, we analyze the relationship between low-income households' economic security and their fertility decisions. Between 1974 and 1977, a randomized controlled trial was conducted in Manitoba, Canada, in which the treatment groups received differing levels of guaranteed annual income. All of the program participants were low-income households. We find positive effects of the program on the probability of childbirth that range between 7 and 10 percentage points.

Brazil is recognized for having an advanced regulatory framework in terms of guarantees of rights of children and adolescents. However, the daily challenges to put this framework into practice are still immense. How do we explain this gap between regulation and practice? To answer this question, this article proposes an analytical and theoretical approach anchored in a pragmatist perspective, using the method of cartography of controversies in the analysis of this public policy. This entails retracing the trajectory of the debate in the public arenas that compose this policy historically, seeking to analyze it from the main spokespersons, arguments, controversies, and worldviews present in the public debate. The results allow us to understand how public action in this field has been (re-)configured in the past 30 years, by dispute and stabilization processes, identifying its advances and limits. The conclusions of the study contribute to an understanding of the challenges of this policy, showing that these emerge in the interconnection of levels, forms of regulation, and networks of actors; this requires a review of the traditional conceptions adopted in the analysis of public policies.

The main subject of the Policy study is state policy and its execution method. As there are many definitions and interpretations regarding state policies, respective to Thomas Dye, William Jenkins, and James Anderson’s interpretations can be summarized as “State policy shall be operative agenda of the government and its agents to partially or wholly address the necessities of the society”. Initially, a Policy study was established in Mongolia with the aim to offer recommendations and suggestions on state policies and government operations, but these days the ones with substantial capability in policy development and its implementation are the ones who are of using it to the fullest extension. Therefore, it is imperative to focus on the establishment or development of a policy study institution that has a reliable and accurate source of information and is capable of anticipating changes in society.

This article is a part of a more comprehensive research, analyzing the implementation of the Escola 10 Program, in Alagoas. The approach is qualitative and includes interviews with policymakers and documental research and it was chosen to use content analysis in the interpretation of the interviews. From the interviews, categories of analysis were defined, among them the requirements of the Program, analyzed in this article. It was found that there was resistance on the part of several implementers, and among the factors that motivated it is the discredit of another policy that can be discontinued with the change of government, the lack of professional appreciation and recognition of the teaching role in the process, in addition to the high demand and pressure to meet the goals of the Program. The competition and competition criteria to achieve the awards offered seem to be ahead of the objective of improving the quality of public education in the state. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

High-risk industrial sites are classified as the most dangerous sites for their risk of inducing damage in case of an accident, even if it is rare. Risk policies are one way to prevent damage while balancing other trade-offs. How can public authorities assess "risk policy systems" of high-risk sites in specific administrative regimes for an effective decision process taking into consideration different jurisdictions? This paper investigates the Normandy and Victorian risk policy system in France and Australia, respectively, based on qualitative approaches. By investigating two cases and fostering conceptual thinking, two assessment criteria are highlighted by different stakeholders to determine an effective risk policy. For instance, beyond the common focus on the efficiency and efficacy of risk policies, findings revealed the importance of "dialogue, participation, and cooperation" between actors and "adaptivity, flexibility, relevance, and coherence" of different tools and legal texts. Limitations and further work include testing and iterating on other assessment criteria to propose an adapted assessment framework for high-risk policies. • A risk policy system is more complex by nature, including key governance structures, policy tools, and normative systems. • A policy related to high-risk sites must be assessed ex ante considering its multi-actors and multi-criteria nature. • An effective high-risk policy is determined by various assessment criteria such as efficiency, adaptivity, and coherence. • A bottom-up qualitative assessment can be beneficial if conducted at a Regional level where policy implementation occurs.

The article presents the stages of public policy for the pay-TV service in Brazil, from the perspective of the Political Economy of Communication. It starts from the observation of the power relations present in the stages of public policy, until the reformulation of the Conditional Access Service Law, in the face of the growth of competition with audiovisual streaming services. The final considerations point out that, despite the retraction of pay-TV, telecommunications companies remain in search of new markets, including internet content, keeping old and new actors in the disputes over communication policies in the country.

This research aims to demonstrate the need for an economic evaluation of the Organic Law 3/2020, of 29 December, which amends Organic Law 2/2006, of 3 May, on Education (LOMLOE), especially after the investment of EU Next Generation funds that open new opportunities that were lacking in the initial drafting of the law. The challenge for Public Administrations is to use this additional investment efficiently. Our analysis shows that artificial intelligence models can predict whether educational support programmes will help increase the likelihood that students who lag behind will pass the 4th grade of ESO. In this way, we can calculate the social return of these programmes and contribute to their ex-ante design to achieve higher success rates for students. To complement the models already used by public administrations, we use robust Machine Learning (ML) models such as CHAID decision trees and artificial neural networks to analyse the characteristics of the groups of students and the intervention they have been part of. The conclusions allow us to improve educational reinforcement programmes in the coming years to support students with lower chances of academic success. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article constitutes an attempt to approach the evaluation of a public policy using the methodology and concepts of public policy analysis. For this, and from the scientific method of analysis, the level of execution or fulfillment of objectives of the public policy followed in the Autonomous Community of Galicia for the management of the Iberian wolf in its interaction and impact with human activity has been reviewed. The ultimate reason for this article is to operationalize goal 16 of the 2030 agency regarding the maintenance of biodiversity, using the analysis of public policies, thus avoiding judgment or opinions and seeking the protection of the fully validated scientific method.

This paper examines how food planning policies address the reterritorialization of agricultural activities (RAA), a crucial component of local food systems. While food planning as an integrated local policy promoting local food systems has gained increasing research attention, most of the research has been urban-centric, resulting in a limited understanding of how it includes RAA. This paper fills this research gap by assessing 39 food planning projects in France, where the state defines food planning by national law and supports local projects. Through document analysis and semi-structured interviews, RAA-associated food planning policy goals, instruments, and agri-food professional actors' involvement are identified. The empirical findings highlight the central role of RAA in French food planning projects; it either serves as the primary motivation behind these projects or evolves into a substantial component as the projects develop. A wide range of policy instruments with local innovation to support RAA are identified, with more frequent use of informational and economic than regulatory and coercive instruments, and more focus on economic development than on ecological transition. Minority and majority farmers' organizations are involved in food planning processes with varying degrees of engagement across territories, reflecting local governance strategies. The analytical methods in this study may contribute to future research to better comprehend RAA in local food policymaking. The systematic overview of RAA-associated food planning measures also offers insights to policymakers in other contexts regarding food policy design. The paper concludes by arguing that food planning extends beyond urban food supply; it also presents an opportunity to leverage RAA for rural revitalization and transformation, in terms of production models, rural-urban links, and local governance. • Systematic analysis of 39 projects offers an overview of French food planning. • French food plans favor economic and informational over regulatory measures. • Food planning instruments prioritize economic development over ecological transition. • French food planning engages diverse actors; both major and minor farmer groups participate.

Innovation policy in Ecuador is an exceptional case study that explores how knowledge used to inform design is socially embedded in relationships of political authority. In this case, it was possible to unfold the range of values and conflicts that policy actors confront in order to incorporate the innovation imperative to policy design. By opening the black box of policy design, we studied the formulation of the innovation policy problem from a bottom-up strategy led by nongovernmental actors, where innovation has become a framing device to formulate policy problems as problems of innovation. As a result, innovation has become a policy paradigm based on the hierarchization of knowledge, where expert knowledge is superior to lay knowledge. Therefore, experts can provide concrete remedies to tackle innovation deficits. This paper explains how innovation policy is driven by traveling imaginaries that once they are highly shared, they work as programmatic ideas in the policy design process. We use the innovation deficit model and policy networks to unravel the relations established by actors and institutions during the problem framing, and the negotiations of influence and domination that they exercised in order to position their programmatic ideas under the innovation imperative.

Law No. 2 of 2018 on MD3 (MPR, DPR, DPRD, and DPD), caused plenty of controversy in public and a lawsuit to the Constitutional Court, due to several problematic articles. Like Article 122k, Article 73, Article 245, and several other articles on the addition of legislative leaders. It indicated the DPR’s inability to formulate and explain the regulations before the media and the public. As such, effective communication management was needed to build public trust in the DPR through media relations. The objective of this study was to review the media relations between the DPR and the journalists in the implementation process of the MD3 Law, as well as how a policy communication process was formed based on the Randall B. Ripley Policy Analysis unit. Researchers used a qualitative method with two analysis models, which were the Randall B. Ripley model of public policy analysis and the media relation concept. The results of the study showed that the formation and implementation of the MD3 Law did not run smoothly from the start, due to the high political interests and the DPR’s poor communication. The role of the DPR News Bureau as the DPR’s Media Relations Officer (MRO) was not optimal. It was encumbered by the normative-administrative work system, the overlapping media relations tasks with the DPR members, and the domination of the Pressroom (parliamentary journalist).

Public policy can be defined as the state of governments to act or to remain actless on a public problem by putting it on their policy agendas. Governments develop policies for a wide range of services by the scope of their authority/jurisdiction areas. When such policies are investigated, relevant evaluations can be made for the future, as well as the achievements/failures of the governments will emerge. In this study, Turkey's influenza (flu) pandemic policy was analyzed through the Covid-19 case by using stages analysis model which was firstly developed by Lasswell. The purpose of the analysis in question was to depict a historical/administrative picture of the pandemic policy process with its relevant actors. The literature has suggested that this new subject, the Covid-19 pandemic, is generally studied by researchers from natural sciences. Ultimately, this study aimed at filling the gap in the field by making a policy analysis of the subject. At this point, the analysis results revealed that Turkey's Pandemic Influenza National Preparedness Plan, generated based on the directives of the World Health Organization (WHO), was successfully implemented; thus, it led the fall of the probable cases and the number of deaths.

Článek se zabývá bezpečnostní veřejnou politikou v České republice. Aktérů promlouvajících do tohoto druhu politik je v České republice mnoho, nicméně dle obecného povědomí a exekutivních pravomocí vyplývajících z právní úpravy je jednou z důležitých institucí Ministerstvo vnitra České republiky (MVČR). Tento aktér je odpovědný nejen za vykonávání své exekutivní role, ale v České republice má i značnou roli při přípravě legislativních veřejných dokumentů. Článek se zaměřuje na tvorbu a kontextuální rámování narativa MVČR v aktuální otázce tzv. migrační krize, a to od vzniku současné vlády, až do března roku 2017. Konkrétně jsou sledovány kontextuální vazby vztažené k politice ochrany hranic a smyslu hraničních přechodů jako bezpečnostních prvků pro zajišťování vnitřní bezpečnosti ČR. Smyslem článku je popsat a konceptualizovat pozice MVČR při vytváření veřejných politik ochrany hranic, protože kontext daný takovou tvorbou vytváří normativní podobu vlastních priorit pro případnou veřejnou diskuzi a kontrolu veřejných institucí.

When assessed from a global perspective; environmental problems, especially in the last five decades, have been a threat to almost all countries. International organisations and institutions struggle to develop effective solutions for arising issues. Climate change is also evaluated as one of the most crucial risks for the environment. European Commission regular progress reports hold a guiding role for the candidate countries and in light of that numerous policies of the relevant countries have aligned with the European Union (EU) acquis. The main purpose of the study is to analyze the climate change policy of Turkey within the context of regular progress reports in an effort to mend the gap fill the void in literature regarding climate change policy of Turkey. Therefore, 7 regular progress reports between the years 2010-2016, when climate change was considered as a title, will be scrutinised in terms of legislation, institutional structure and emission gas through content analysis method with the aim of having a functional assessment about the determinations and the expectations of the EU. The study reveals that although Turkey has made fundamental progress over the years regarding climate change, there are still some crucial issues that need to be reconsidered to have an effective climate change policy.
