Projects in the first phase of the DfE's Children's Social Care Innovation Programme have been evaluated to identify common themes. This briefing summarises learning on meeting the needs of complex adolescents This summary draws on evaluations of Innovation Programme projects published in 2017 by the Department for Education; on programme learning events on looked-after children; and on the on-the-ground experiences of projects. The summary is published by the DfE and Spring Consortium, drawn from Rees Centre, which led the evaluation.

Abstract. In this paper, I introduce a novel ellipsis construction from Farsi, v‐stranding VPE, in which part of a complex predicate goes missing, leaving behind the light verb. Under an analysis of complex predicates where the light verb is the overt realization of v, this type of ellipsis can be construed as deletion of the complement of v. I give evidence that this phenomenon patterns with English verb phrase ellipsis (VPE) in a number of important respects. The same licensing conditions that must be satisfied in English VPE, including an inflectional checking requirement and an antecedence condition, must also be satisfied in Farsi v‐stranding VPE.

Resumé Vers une dérive affairiste? Les processus complexes des décisions militaires et politiques se trouvent aujourd'hui malmenés.

In this article, the author expounds upon the monetary/socialist complex using the great writing ""Money"" The Greatest Hoax on Earth by Merrill M.E. Jenkins Sr., 1971.

Diriger un établissement social ou médicosocial, c'est manager un système complexe qui suppose une analyse originale de ces organisations de travail en s'intéressant à leurs seuils plutôt qu'à leur centre, parce que c'est là que se jouent les échanges. Leur polycentrisme nécessite d'intégrer la conflictualité comme un atout en lieu et place de consensus réducteurs. Manager consiste alors, notamment, à gérer les désaccords qui structurent l'organisation.

The article deals with the question of what changes should be made in the theory of social anomie, formulated by Emile Durkheim and developed by Robert Merton. This is necessary because modern society has entered a qualitatively new stage in its development and is characterized by the notion of a complex socium. Anomie in a simple socium can be defined as structural. Social system itself creates the conditions in which the destructive behavior is "normal" response to the social situation. Anomie of modern complex society can be defined as reflexive. Variety of value-normative systems leads to the fact that norms become an act of choice. Decision-making center has shifted to the level of the microcosm. They have become as unpredictable as social life in general.

National audience ; La ville est devenue l'un des premiers territoires de destination touristique en France, pour le tourisme d'affaires et pour le tourisme de loisirs. La politique touristique est dorénavant une composante majeure du développement et du rayonnement des villes. Le monde professionnel du tourisme a profondément changé. C'est un carrefour des compétences culturelles, scientifiques, urbaines, des techniques de la mobilité et de la connectivité qui prend sa place dans l'écosystème de la ville. Quel regard l'enseignant - chercheur peut-il porter sur cette filière professionnelle complexe qu'est le tourisme ?

Is a social complex identical to many united people or is it a group entity in addition to the people? For specificity, I will assume that a social complex is a plural subject in Margaret Gilbert's sense. By appeal to my theory of Aspects, according to which there can be qualitative difference without numerical difference, I give an answer that is a middle way between metaphysical individualism and metaphysical holism. This answer will enable answers to two additional metaphysical questions: (i) how can two social complexes have all the same members and (ii) how can there be a social complex of social complexes?

Since the late 1980s international aid for development has fallen while humanitarian assistance for emergencies has increased. This change of emphasis reflects the collapse of the USSR and consequent political instability in the former Soviet Union, its former satellites and client states. It also reflects donor disillusion with the failure of many development projects. Much humanitarian assistance is delivered in complex emergencies such as in Angola, Somalia, Rwanda, the Caucasus and former Yugoslavia. Almost without exception these emergencies relate directly to global, regional, national and local political instability created by the 'new international political order'. Many of the emergencies have roots in the colonial era and a deep history in cultural tensions loosely described as ethnic conflict. Many complex emergencies entail enormous violence, massacres of civilian populations, deliberate destruction of the means of production, ethnic cleansing, torture and rape, displacement of population, refugeedom, social and economic collapse, traumatisation and psycho‐social problems of whole populations and state collapse. Complex emergencies are dynamic, characterised by uncertainty and by rapid and unpredictable changes affecting all aspects of life.

AbstractPrevious research finds that policy complexity affects important political processes including legislative delegation and policy diffusion. However, policy complexity is not directly observable and the search for a reasonable proxy constitutes a major challenge for scholars. This research note presents a concise and measurable definition of complex policy based on two aspects: a policy's textual sophistication and its ties to other rules and regulations. Using crowdsourcing and a pairwise comparison framework it is shown that the proposed defining features are crucial for humans' understanding of policy text. The proposed definition is then operationalized using a large corpus of European Union rules and is shown to outperform alternative operationalizations of policy complexity in predicting the level of legislative delegation.
