Findings from 2010 Global Adult Tobacco Survey: Implementation of MPOWER Policy in China

Objective To assess the implementation of five key tobacco control policies in China： protection from second-hand smoke （SHS）; offering help to quit; health warnings regarding tobacco use; the enforcement of bans on tobacco advertising, promotion, and sponsorship; and increasing tobacco taxes and prices. Methods Using 2010 Global Adults Tobacco Survey in China （GATS-China）, 10 indicators are used to assess the implementation of five key tobacco control policies of MPOWER in China. Results Overall, 63.3% and 72.7% of adultsnoticed people smoking indoor workplaces and public places, respectively. Approximately 60% of smokers were not asked about their smoking habits and approximately 67% were not advised to quit on their visit to a health worker. Sixty percent of adults noticed health warning messages on cigarette packaging and in the media in the last 30 days, 63.6% stated that they would not consider quitting. Twenty percent of respondents noticed tobacco advertising, promotion, and/or sponsorship activities in the 30 days prior to the survey. Among them, 76.3% noticed the direct advertising and 50% noticed from TV programs. Although purchasing price of one pack of cigarettes ranged from 1 to 200 RMB, 50% of current smokers （about 150 million） spent 5 RMB or less on one pack of cigarette. The expenditure on 100 packets of cigarettes represents 2% of 2009 GDP per capita. Conclusion The average score for the implementation of the 5 policies of MPOWER in China is 37.3 points, indicating tobacco control policies in China is poor and there is a large gaps from the FCTC requirements.

Ontology-Based Cyber Security Policy Implementation in Saudi Arabia

Cyber security is an important element of national security and the safekeeping of a nation’s constituency and assets. In Saudi Arabia, the point of interest on cyber security is particularly outstanding due to the fact that Saudi Arabia has a highly cyber attacks all over the Arab countries. This paper displays on contemporary studies done in Saudi Arabia in regards to cyber security policy coverage. The point of interest of this paper is the use of ontology to identify and suggest a formal, encoded description of the cyber security strategic environment, and propose the development of ontology to be able to permit the implementation of the sort of policy. The intention of the ontology is to become aware of and constitute the multi-layered company of gamers and their related roles and obligations within the cyber security environment. This could make contributions in large part to the improvement, implementation and rollout of a country wide cyber security policy in Saudi Arabia.

Alternative policy implementation: Theoretical explanation and case analysis of local government's action logic

Since the reform and opening up, the local government has played a key role in promoting the economic and social development of our country, and the effective implementation of the local government has become an important research topic. Therefore, based on the literature, the observation method of in-depth interviews, practice investigation and participation is adopted in this paper, which focuses on the implementation of special groups of social assistance policy. The theoretical framework of government' rational choice reveals the status of local government implementation policies and behavior behind the mechanism and organizational structure. The study found that:(1) the local government is easy to choose a quantifiable policy to implement;(2) there is a coexistence between the local government departments;(3) the local government selectively meets the needs of special personnel;(4) the local government's seeking political promotion and power leads to its behavior alienation.

Combinations of Transportation Policies to Promote BRT Usage Using Artificial Society Model

Various transportation systems have been developed in recent years.In this study,an artificial society model is developed to examine the combination of transportation policies in urban areas.In this model,each trip maker selects the primary and terminal transportation modes.An artificial society model is applied to the southeastern region of Osaka City,Japan.The effects of introducing BRT(bus rapid transit,primary transportation)and on-demand buses(terminal transportation)are investigated.The results confirm that BRT is used by a certain number of users.An increase in the use of BRT will increase the amount of walking,thus resulting in a healthy city.However,on-demand buses are rarely used as terminal transportation.Additionally,the development of bicycle parking stations near BRT stops is shown to be effective in the northern section of the BRT route.

Stochastic Design of Enhanced Network Management Architecture and Algorithmic Implementations

The paper is focused on available server management in Internet connected network environments. The local backup servers are hooked up by LAN and replace broken main server immediately and several different types of backup servers are also considered. The remote backup servers are hooked up by VPN (Virtual Private Network) with high-speed optical network. A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a way to use a public network infrastructure and hooks up long-distance servers within a single network infrastructure. The remote backup servers also replace broken main severs immediately under the different conditions with local backups. When the system performs a mandatory routine maintenance of main and local backup servers, auxiliary servers from other location are being used for backups during idle periods. Analytically tractable results are obtained by using several mathematical techniques and the results are demonstrated in the framework of optimized networked server allocation problems. The operational workflow give the guidelines for the actual implementations.

Implementing the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement: A Case Study of the Vhembe West District, South Africa

This qualitative study was undertaken to investigate how district officials implemented Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement in the Vhembe West District in South Africa.Interview data were collected and used for themes identification.The study identified the following challenges that the district officials experienced as they performed their duties:insufficient resources,lack of finances to buy learning and teaching support materials,infrastructure failures,the district’s inadequate support to schools,shortage of district officials in certain disciplines,unclear roles,lack of collaboration,unavailability of followup visits,the shortage of computers for the district officials and teacher support materials,bribery and corruption of selling principalship posts,slow filling of district officials posts,and inappropriate skills for school management and leadership.The study concluded that qualified district officials should be appointed,ongoing support from the Department of Basic Education and provision of resources in ensuring smooth curriculum implementation is needed,and bribery and corruption should be stopped when school principal appointments are made.This study also concludes that the district officials should be continuously capacitated so that they should be able to meet curriculum challenges,and the Department of Basic Education should speed up the curriculum delivery by ensuring that the vacancies are filled up.

Implementing Open Access Policy:First case studies

When implementing open access, policy pioneers and flagship institutions alike have faced considerable challenges in meeting their own aims and achieving a recognized success. Legitimate authority, sufficient resources and the right timing are crucial, but the professionals charged with implementing policy still need several years to accomplish significant progress. This study defines a methodological standard for evaluating the first generation of open access policies. Evaluating implementation establishes evidence, enables reflection, and may foster the emergence of a second generation of open access policies.While the study is based on a small number of cases, these case studies cover most of the pioneer institutions, present the most significant issues and offer an international overview.Each case is reconstructed individually on the basis of public documents and background information, and supported by interviews with professionals responsible for open access implementation. This article presents the highlights from each case study. The results are utilized to indicate how a second generation of policies might define open access as a key component of digital research infrastructures that provide inputs and outputs for research,teaching and learning in real time.

层层加码与层层递减:不同类型公共政策自上而下执行的权变逻辑

公共政策自上而下执行中层层加码的现象由来已久且较为普遍。基于不同类型公共政策主要直接功能存在的差异,对规范性、分配性、导向性等3类公共政策自上而下执行中对政策目标、政策工具、政策监控层层加码或层层递减的表现和结果展开分析,从利益逻辑、行为逻辑、制度逻辑探寻行为背后的逻辑动因。要消解政策执行中的层层加码或层层递减现象,应制定明确的政策目标并运用有效的政策工具,健全公共政策执行者激励相容机制,积极践行全过程人民民主,增强目标群体的民主法治监督能力和公共舆论客观理性,在减少政策执行层级的同时加强跨层级治理。

基层治理场域中城市社区政策执行逻辑解构

城市社区是基层治理基本单元,也是回应社会治理问题的主战场。相较于科层治理模式,基层治理场域建构起了独特的治理格局,在此场域中城市社区政策执行具有特殊的情境逻辑。基于场域-行为的社区政策执行场域分析框架,对执行主体进行角色行为分析,可以发现,社区治理情境中的压力型体制背景、政策设计内生性模糊与组织资本困窘、场域叠加、行动者区隔,以及政策执行者心理系统等场域要素,共同作用于政策执行行为。从组织场域、社会关系场域以及心理场域对城市社区的政策执行进行全方位及全过程调节,将极大地提升社会治理政策效能。

地方改革试点的实践样态与行动逻辑--基于“激励-问责”协同性框架的多案例分析

改革试点是一种重要的治国理政机制。中国的改革试点不仅是一种纵向的分级制政策实验,在横向上地方改革试点还表现出明显的地方性差异。改革试点对应的是宽泛的政策指导与政策的灵活性,政策执行的条件将直接影响地方改革效能。在地方改革试点中,激励结构与问责力度是影响政策执行的两个关键要素。基于全国农村产权制度改革的多案例研究结果表明,地方政府的激励结构、问责强度和资源禀赋构成了地方改革试点的使动条件,地方主政者的行动态度、行动空间和行动能力构成了地方改革试点的能动条件,两者协同促使地方政府采取争先创新、稳妥有序、应付避责与象征执行的行动策略。因此,在地方改革试点中,要营造更具包容性的政策环境,建立相对均衡的制度结构,激发地方改革创新的积极性和能动性,以提升地方治理效能。

高等教育信息化政策执行是否促进了高等教育“提质增效”——基于双重差分法的实证研究

高等教育信息化是我国教育信息化适应新时代发展的创新力量,是教育信息化出经验、出典型、出成绩的重要领域。高等教育信息化政策执行效果关系着其政策目标能否如期实现,影响着高等教育信息化建设能否推动高等教育“提质增效”。基于政策网络理论分析框架,通过双重差分法,可以探寻高等教育信息化政策执行对高等教育质量提升的作用与影响机制。实证研究结果表明:高等教育信息化政策执行对高等教育质量水平提高有促进效应,但是政策网络结构因素和政策执行主体因素对高等教育质量提升的中介效应呈现复杂变化。因此,增强高等教育信息化政策执行效果,就要从进一步优化高等教育信息化政策网络生态,加强高等教育信息化政策网络行动者互动,发挥高等教育信息化政策网络执行主体角色作用等方面着力。

生育新政下女性就业保障政策执行的制约因素与破解路径——基于史密斯政策执行过程模型

女性就业保障政策是落实三孩生育政策及配套支持措施和保障女性合法就业权益的重要政策工具。基于史密斯政策执行过程模型,通过探究生育新政下女性就业保障政策及其执行现状,构建政策、执行机构、目标群体、政策环境四个层面分析的理论框架,提出女性就业保障政策执行的制约因素有:政策体系尚未完善削弱其执行效果、多元治理机制阻滞且机构执行能力较弱、目标群体的自利性和认知欠缺引起执行偏轨、正式制度与非正式制度因素支持力度不足,并对此提出相关路径建议。
