The Impact

Although work–family research has mushroomed over the past several decades, an implementation gap persists in putting work–family research into practice. Because of this, work–family researchers have not made a significant impact in improving the lives of employees relative to the amount of research that has been conducted. The goal of this article is to clarify areas where implementation gaps between work–family research and practice are prevalent, discuss the importance of reducing these gaps, and make the case that both better and different research should be conducted. We recommend several alternative but complementary actions for the work–family researcher: (a) work with organizations to study their policy and practice implementation efforts, (b) focus on the impact of rapid technological advances that are blurring work–family boundaries, (c) conduct research to empower the individual to self-manage the work–family interface, and (d) engage in advocacy and collaborative policy research to change institutional contexts and break down silos. Increased partnerships between industrial–organizational (I–O) psychology practitioners and researchers from many industries and disciplines could break down silos that we see as limiting development of the field.

The Impact

Oil and gas industry began in the Dutch colonial era. Based on Article 78 Government Regulation No. 35 Year 2004 on Upstream Oil and Gas, that all goods and equipment which directly used in the Upstream Oil and Gas Activity that purchased by Contractor becomes to State assets which is developed by the government and managed by SKK Migas. Enactment of Government Regulation No. 6 of 2006 about the management of State assets / Regional assets (BMN / BMD) as the implementation of the mandate of Law Number 17 Year 2003 on State Finance and Law No. 1 of 2004 on State Treasury is a new chapter for the management of state assets more orderly , accountable, and transparent. SKK Migas as an institution whose function is to supervise the implementation of the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) has purpose to provide maximum benefit for the country. On the other hand, state asset management by the Government aims to achieve accountability through the orderly administration and better management of State assets. The difference between that purpose, can lead to implementation gaps. This research was conducted with the aim of knowing the activity of administration of State assets originating from Contractor of Cooperation Contract which has the highest implementation gaps, find the source of the cause and finding the impact on the administration of State assets originating from Contractor of Cooperation Contract. Measurements implementation gaps using tools that called integrity scorecard. Integrity scores obtained by submitting some questionnaires to the respondents. The respondents in this study is the contractors which have commercial production. The research results illustrate the reporting activity has the highest implementation gap. It can also be seen from the BPK findings on Internal Control System in State assets administration originating from Contractor of Cooperation Contract on LKPP Year 2007 - 2013. Based on the descriptive analysis of the State assets which originating from Contractor of Cooperation Contract enforcement background and administration activity analysis, it can be concluded that the cause of the implementation gap is the political pressures, bureaucratic overlap, and resource constraints in the implementation of the regulation.Based on the inductive analysis of the weakness symptoms that occur in the administration of State assets originating from Contractor of Cooperation Contract, can be concluded that the data presented in the central goverment financial report (LKPP) potentially not comply with the qualitative characteristics standards such us relevant, reliable, comparable and understandable.Keywords: Implementation Gaps, Administration, State assets which originating from Contractor of Cooperation Contract.

The Impact

Nowadays, Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) becomes a crucial problem worldwide where it is created the impact to environment, social as well as health. The non-sanitary landfill is widespread used for waste disposal in the rural area because of its low investment and operation cost. However, it has negative effect on human health and environment. Thermal treatment of MSW by incineration is considered as an option for effective treatment technique due to the fast reduction in mass and volume of MSW. However, with high moisture content in MSW, it is necessary to use auxiliary fuel in order to maintain the high temperature of combustion process and led to the high operating cost, especially for the small scale incinerator without energy recovery. A novel hybrid incineration-gasification can be used in order to overcome this drawback by using a downdraft gasifier with Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) as feedstock to generate the syngas which can be substituted the auxiliary fuel. Hence, this study emphasizes on the development of a novel hybrid incineration-gasification as a cleaner technology to get rid of MSW generated with a destruction capacity of 30 ton per day (TPD). The novel system comprises of a controlled-air incinerator with two combustion chambers, automatic feeding machine and wet scrubber. A 100 kg/hr downdraft gasifier has aim to use RDF from dry fraction of MSW as feedstock to produce syngas to substitute the auxiliary fuel used in the secondary burner of the incinerator in order to maintain the desire its temperature. This cleaner and novel hybrid technology can implement to get rid of MSW properly for energy saving and sustainable development.

This chapter examines the core recommendations set out in the report of the 2015 Global Study on the Implementation of United Nations Security Council 1325. Commissioned by the Security Council, the study was mandated to highlight examples of good practice, implementation gaps and challenges, as well as emerging trends and priorities for action. Drawing on three focus areas that emerged from the global study, this chapter considers the recommendations in the broader political context, in particular the global shift toward inclusive and sustainable peace and security. This chapter argues that providing transformative justice for women, ensuring gender-sensitive and inclusive conflict prevention strategies, and creating counterterrorism approaches which respect women’s autonomy and human rights are central to the WPS agenda. Moreover, it concludes that addressing women’s experiences during conflict requires a deeper analysis of the impact of new technologies of war on women.

The Impact

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to understand the impact of activation policies in contexts of public-oriented employment services.Design/methodology/approachThe fieldwork was conducted in Italy, using the regional case of Emilia-Romagna as a representation of public-oriented models. The empirical research relies primarily on quantitative research methods by means of impact evaluations based on very rich and recent administrative data that includes 20,014 observations. These are integrated with some interesting insights from qualitative research tools by means of semi-structured interviews with stakeholders in the fieldwork.FindingsThe overall level of effectiveness of activation policies does not seem to be particularly high. However, the results show that, to some extent, there are more advantages for job seekers furthest from the labor market. The stronger efforts made to assist those disadvantaged groups are probably related to a loss in the overall effectiveness of the system.Research limitations/implicationsThis analysis has focused on a substantially homogeneous and economically developed region. Indeed, Italian activation policy reforms have been implemented differently in different areas of the country. Similar to other Southern European countries, they are characterized by regional fragmentation and implementation gaps in activation policies.Practical implicationsThe findings of the present study are relevant to policymakers who deal with activation policies and to both public and nonpublic organizations involved in this field. It seems plausible to support the possibility that public-oriented models could represent a proficient alternative to proposals relying heavily on market-based interventions. Such evidence becomes particularly interesting in the aftermath of the Great Recession when this model is confronted with the consequences of the economic crisis.Originality/valueThe paper adds to the literature on public-oriented models, while overcoming some of the limitations of earlier research, which has been restricted mainly to cases with early traditions of marketized services.

The Impact

Most scholarship addressing implementation gaps of violence against women (VAW) laws focuses on countries with high levels of violence in the lives of women—accompanied by weak policing and judicial responses. These studies tend to argue that the most egregious forms of political or social violence explain this gap. However, there has been little attention to countries with lower levels of gender-based violence and relatively responsive state institutions. We analyze the application of VAW laws in Costa Rica, with a focus on the impact of adjacent laws, or laws that are seemingly unrelated to VAW laws but are applied in tandem with and often in conflict with VAW laws. Based on a decade of fieldwork in Costa Rica, we argue that adjacent laws on land, labor, and immigration can be leveraged in ways that undermine the interpretation and implementation of VAW laws. These failures constitute legal violence: the normalized but cumulatively injurious effects of laws that can result in various forms of violence. While legal violence causes implementation gaps in almost every country, our case study reveals that the underlying sociolegal system upon which these laws rest contributes to a significant gap between VAW laws and practice.

National Food Security

It has been four years since the National Food Security Act, 2013 (NFSA) was passed, ample time for us to assess its impact on the food insecurity in India. The Act was initiated as an ambitious attempt to provide food security through a life-cycle approach, but over the years it has remained restricted to merely converting four schemes into legal entitlements. It has lost sight of its ultimate goal of providing „food security‟ and remains largely over occupied by food distribution. Additionally, core aspects of food production and management have been placed under schedule III, to be progressively realized, in other words "not imperative".The present paper shall critically analyze the concept of food security against the national Act. An attempt shall be made at highlighting the lacunae within the provisions of the Act, implementation gaps and operational inadequacies. Moreover, the interaction between the national law and the individual state rules and the impact of diverse state-specific factors on rule-making and ground-level implementation shall also be considered. The paper introduces the concept of food security and gives an overview of the NFSA. It also critically analyzes the provisions of the Act and highlights the gaps in food security therein. The paper concludes with recommendations as to how food security can be implemented in an effective way.

The Impact

The phenomena accompanying the impact of large meteorites on the surface of the Moon or of the Earth can be examined on the basis of the theory of explosive phenomena if we assume that, instead of an exploding meteorite moving inside the rock, we have an explosive charge (equivalent in energy), situated at a certain distance under the surface.
