Most patient safety standards (IPSG) specifically prevent the risk of falling applied by nurses. One of the internal factors that affect compliance is the characteristics of nurses. This study aims to determine the relation between the characteristics of nurses and adherence in the implementation of prevention of patients falling at Samarinda Government Daera General Hospital. The method used is a descriptive correlation with the cross-sectional approach. The instruments used in this study were questionnaires and observation sheets. The total sample of 51 nurses in nonintensive inpatient rooms with sampling techniques used purposive sampling. The analysis test in this study used Rank Spearman. Based on the results of the Spearman rank test of 4 variables, namely age (p = 0.026, rho = 0.312), gender (p = 0.366, rho = 0.129), education (p = 0.224, rho = -0.173), and work period (p = 0.151, rho = 0.204) there is only 1 variable, namely age, which has a relation with nurse compliance in the implementation of prevention of falling patients. There is a significant relation between the age of the nurse and compliance in the implementation of the prevention of falling patients. There is no relation between gender, education and the duration of employment of nurses with adherence to the implementation prevention of falling patients.

It is recognized in international research that the public sector has been transformed into a networked, open and more flexible, informal and interactive governance structure. This is described as a transition from "government to governance". Sweden is one of the international leaders with regards to e-government development. The objective of this thesis is to provide a deeper understanding of how e-government policies are implemented in an e-governance context, through empirical case studies in Sweden. The focus is on the local level. The overall research question is: How is e-government policy put into practice when focusing on the local level? This is reported in four articles. Case study methodology is used as research method, including interviews, focus group interviews, document studies, and some participatory observations. The analysis is partly based on an inductive methodological approach, since this is a new, emerging field of innovative policy and practice. The analysis arrives at three overarching conclusions: (1) In practice, when e-government policy is implemented and translated at the local level, it tends to happen in an e-governance setting conducted by policy entrepreneurs or promoted by entrepreneurial behaviour in public administration. E-government policies are implemented in relation to local cultures, norms and economic structures. (2) Implementation of e-government and e-governance initiatives requires trust in the service provision among public administrators as well as among citizens. Efficiency and citizen-centred approaches in the redesign of information relationships between public administration and citizens to create some sort of added value are crucial. (3) The thesis indicates that there are two main implications of municipal contact centres (CCs): they localize public services and they combine different services into a one-stop practice striving to provide "holistic" services to the individual citizen. However, although the use of ICT is essential for the organisational ...

The European Union's (EU) relations with the African continent are facing a distinct set of challenges. Contrary to the expectations of both African and European governments, the pending negotiations between the partners are now being put to the test like never before. The global spread of Covid-19 has led to economic crises throughout the world - and the African continent is no exception. International organisations, the EU, and African institutions alike consider the economic and health crisis to be more serious than the 2008/2009 global financial crisis. This new economic crisis also impacts Europe's relations with Africa. The EU-African Union Summit, originally scheduled for October 2020 but now postponed until 2021, will be overshadowed by the global coronavirus crisis. There is a significant risk that Africa-Europe relations will not attract as much interest as other global developments, with the USA, Europe and China too busy dealing with their own challenges. The crisis has shown that the prevailing asymmetry is no longer acceptable as we move into the future. Now is the time for both sides to work together on finalising the much-needed reform packages and to recalibrate Europe's cooperation with Africa. To pave the way for these reforms, the EU Commission's plans for negotiations on future cooperation must be overhauled, particularly in relation to trade and economic relations, value chain integration, and the focus on job creation and poverty alleviation. Last but not least, cooperation on the issue of sustainability must be adjusted, especially against the backdrop of the climate catastrophe, which, besides hindering growth and causing job losses, poses a threat to agriculture and food supply on the African continent. The concepts presented by the EU in March 2020 do not adequately address the challenges on the African continent and are not in Europe's strategic interest. Instead, what in fact needs to happen is for the EU to anticipate the developments on the African continent and recognise just how urgent it is to change course. Whether or not the German (and Portuguese) EU Council Presidency along with the other Member States and the EU Commission will be able to give this discussion the requisite impetus will only become clear in the coming months leading up to the EU-Africa Summit.

Many have suggested that the findings of social choice theory demonstrate that there can be no "will of the people". This has subversive implication for our intuitive concept of self government. I explore the relation between the notion of a "social will", that of self-government, and the impossibility theorems of social choice theory. I conclude that although the concept of the social will is essential to that of self-government, the findings of social choice theory do not cast doubt upon the possibility of either. Unlike many attempts to respond to the threat posed by social choice theory, my argument does not require any appeal to the problematic notion of the common good.

Extract. While this chapter focuses on the 1980s and the prospects for industrial relations in the 1990s, it is useful to review the events that have led to Singapore's current industrial relations uniqueness. Unlike the other newly-industrialised Asian countries (NICs) of South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, Singapore possesses a labour movement that is able to comply with government directives and yet, it would seem, successfully socialise and re-socialise the workforce from which it must draw its vitality.

Discusses the concept of "governance" in the context of international relations, critiquing current discourses, & finding public policy analysis discourse the most interesting & most highly developed relative to the internationalist & World Bank views. However, if the defining characteristics illustrated by those analyses are retained, governance postulates a proliferation of regulation modes, levels, & decision-making authorities; & rejects any idea of centralized organization or control. This, conflicts with the idea of "global" governance. It is argued that the choice of looking at international relations in terms of governance is a research position that reveals actors & interactions that have been neglected by the realism literature. In so doing, it renews thinking on the idea of international society; yet, by displaying more interest in procedure than in substance, & in effectiveness than in equity, it can also lead to insidious sanctioning of the most cynical neoliberalism. 36 References.
