'Stephen Byrne'] Background Developed in the late 20th century, the health policy triangle (HPT) is a policy analysis framework used and applied ubiquitously in the literature to analyse a large number of health-related issues. Objective To explore and summarise the application of the HPT framework to health-related…

Policy science and practice around the world, including educational policies, are dominated by popular, extreme approaches such as market-orientated approaches at one end and critical argumentative approaches at the other end. This study therefore aims to manoeuvre a middle way to propose a dialogical and progressive…

Framing research seeks to understand the forces that shape human behaviour in the policy process. It assumes that policy is a social construct and can be cast in a variety of ways to imply multiple legitimate value considerations. Frames provide the cognitive means of making sense of the social world, but discordance…

Theories of agenda-setting analysis consist of understanding the policy context, economic conditions and resource provision, norm promotion and focusing events, all leading to policy windows. Most frameworks included an element of these theories. For example, policy frameworks such as the ‘Health Policy Triangle’(72)…

A common requirement in policy specification languages is the ability to map policies to the underlying network devices. Doing so, in a provably correct way, is important in a security policy context, so administrators can be confident of the level of protection provided by the policies for their networks. Existing…

This paper reviews some mainstream meso-level policy analysis frameworks widely applied in sport. There is, however, an absence of consensus for an established framework for analysing sport policy in general and, instead, techniques emanating from other fields of study have been relied upon. The resultant approach to…

The significance of provenance in various settings has emphasised its potential in the policy-making process for analytics in Smart Cities. At present, there exists no framework that can capture the provenance in a policy-making setting. This research therefore aims at defining a novel framework, namely, the Policy…

Research data policies influence researchers’ willingness to share research data to varying extents (5 9). A growing number of research funders and institutions are introducing policies on research data sharing. These include the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Gates Foundation, the EU Horizon 2020 programme…

—Using SDN to configure and control a multi-site network involves writing code that handles low-level details. We describe preliminary work on a framework that takes a network description and set of policies as input, and handles all the details of deriving routes and installing flow rules in switches. The paper…

'Michael Hitchens'] Abstract—As networks expand in size and complexity, they pose greater administrative and management challenges. Software Defined Networks (SDN) offer a promising approach to meeting some of these challenges. In this paper, we propose a policy driven security architecture for securing end to end…

In the United States, people of color are disproportionately and unjustly exposed to air pollution. Historically, environmental policy has emphasized aggregate emission reductions; yet major emission reduction scenarios do not sufficiently mitigate relative exposure disparities. Here, we show that without focusing on…

'Margaret Hagan' 'Thomas Krendl Gilbert' 'John Zimmerman'] Policies significantly shape computation's societal impact, a crucial HCI concern. However, challenges persist when HCI professionals attempt to integrate policy into their work or affect policy outcomes. Prior research considered these challenges at the…

After the US federal government created a national pollinator protection plan in 2015, many states followed with their own. Since their goal is to promote pollinating insect conservation, we wanted to know whether the state plans are using best practices for evidence-based science policy. In early 2019 we found and…

wellbeing initiatives Authors: ['Laura Angresius' 'Milena Büchs' 'Alessia Greselin' 'Daniel W. O’Neill'] Providing wellbeing for all while safeguarding planetary boundaries may require governments to pursue "post-growth" policies. Previous empirical studies of sustainable wellbeing initiatives investigating enablers of…

This paper offers a formal account of policy learning, or habitual behavioural optimisation, under the framework of Active Inference. In this setting, habit formation becomes an autodidactic, experience-dependent process, based upon what the agent sees itself doing. We focus on the effect of environmental volatility on…

Taxonomy is a cornerstone of biological science and essential to biodiversity policy, yet it faces persistent structural challenges collectively known as the “taxonomic impediment”. These include limited capacity, uneven geographic and taxonomic coverage, and a disconnect between the supply of expertise and its…

As the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI (GenAI) is expanding in the educational field, presenting significant implications for STEM disciplines, it is bringing opportunities to enhance how chemistry and chemical engineering are taught and learned. This perspective critically explores the…

knowledge about the tasks we encounter enables us to rapidly and flexibly adapt to novel task contexts. Previous research has focused primarily on abstract rules that leverage shared structure in stimulus-response (S-R) mappings as the basis of such task knowledge. Here we provide evidence that working memory (WM)…

—Software Defined Networking (SDN) offers flexibility to program a network based on a set of network requirements. Programming the networks using SDN is not completely straightforward because a programmer must deal with low level details. To solve the problem, researchers proposed a set of network programming languages…

The monitoring of environmental policies in Europe has taken place since the 1980s and still remains a challenge for decision- and policy-making. For forests, it is concretized through the publication of a State Of Europe’s Forests every five years, the last report just been released. However, the process lacks a clear…

Low carbon fuel policies such as the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), Canada Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR), and California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) as well as the 45Z tax credit are intended to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transportation. Cellulosic feedstocks, optimized biorefineries, and…

Deriving versatile and robust mechanistic models from experimental data is a key challenge in engineering and natural sciences. This is especially true in chemical reaction engineering, where reactor manufacturers and operators increasingly pursue the development and maintenance of digital twins that rely on frequent…

Self-driving laboratories (SDLs) promise accelerated scientific discovery and product development by closing the loop between robotic execution and AI/ML-driven decision making. In practice, however, SDL orchestration remains fragmented; workflows are typically encoded as laboratory-specific scripts or bespoke…

As policymakers increasingly focus on environmental justice, a key question is whether emissions reductions aimed at addressing air quality or climate change can also ameliorate persistent air pollution exposure disparities. We examine evidence from California's aggressive vehicle emissions control policy from…
