This InGRID deliverable is part of Work Package 22 on 'Innovative solutions for comparative policy indicators and analysis'. The purpose is to provide an inventory of core social policy databases and indicators for comparative research. We map 26 databases and infrastructures that fruitfully can be used in comparative research to analyse the causes and consequences of social policy. Each database is compared according to a set of characteristics, including type of data (expenditures, institutional indicators, beneficiary statistics, socio-economic/income surveys, microsimulation), policy areas included (cash benefits: family benefits, unemployment benefits, sickness benefits, pensions, workaccidents, social assistance, and disability/invalidity/survivors benefits; public services: child care, health care, elder care, and active labour market policy), countries and years covered, as well as interval for updating of data. Nearly all databases specialise on distinct parts of social policy, and data on cash benefits are somewhat more frequent than data on public services, particularly when institutional indicators are in focus. Compared with data on social expenditures and beneficiaries, institutional indicators are based on social policy legislation and thus independent of changes in social needs and population characteristics.

The main challenge faced Palestinian Public Budget is the weaknesses of tax revenues in meeting the accelerating of public expenditures. One of the main reasons of this weakness is the incompliance of taxpayers from their duties toward their national government. Palestinian legislators tried to develop a new income tax system during last 7 years to increase the income tax revenues. Unfortunately, the public budget still suffering from high deficit, this case could be interpreted because of increasing the tax evasion- side effect of increasing tax rates-. This paper is designed to explore whether the change in tax rates has raised the tax evasion or not. Therefore, this paper used an indirect method to test the change in the percentage of tax evasion among last 5 years (the same periods of issuing new income tax system). Our findings show that there is a positive relationship between changing income tax rates and increasing the percentage of tax evasion in the last 5 years. The estimated tax evasion has been increased by 22% from 2007 to 2015.

The aim of the study was to investigate whether interprofessional education (IPE) and interprofessional collaboration (IPC) during the educational program had an impact on prehospital emergency care nurses' (PECN) self-reported competence towards the end of the study program. A cross-sectional study using the Nurse Professional Competence (NPC) Scale was conducted. A comparison was made between PECN students from Finland who experienced IPE and IPC in the clinical setting, and PECN students from Sweden with no IPE and a low level of IPC. Forty-one students participated (Finnish n = 19, Swedish n = 22). The self-reported competence was higher among the Swedish students. A statistically significant difference was found in one competence area; legislation in nursing and safety planning (p <0.01). The Finnish students scored significantly higher on items related to interprofessional teamwork. Both the Swedish and Finnish students' self-reported professional competence was relatively low according to the NPC Scale. Increasing IPC and IPE in combination with offering a higher academic degree may be an option when developing the ambulance service and the study program for PECNs. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.

In response to demands by new clean renewable energy sources, emerged in Brazil in the last 10 years many investors interested in implementing wind farms. Thus arises the question of how the surrounding communities may be affected positively and/or negatively by installing wind farms projects and other energy renewable sources. The aim of this study is to propose a set of guidelines and best practices for public managers, public authorities and owners of wind farms and other energy renewable sources about the perspective of the sustainable development of the surrounding communities. The research was conducted in three phases: Literature review on sustainable development; case study in major community (A) and minor communities (B, C and D) where were implemented wind farms; Development of the best practice and guidelines, through the Brainstorming, Focus Group, Current Reality Tree and Creating Shared Value. The results show the political dimension of sustainability as a root cause of underdevelopment of communities. Were proposed a set of 22 guidelines and best practices that contribute to the sustainable development of communities

Para despejar las horrendas insinuaciones que encierra el título de este artículo, con conceptos tan resbaladizos como "transición, periodismo y democracia", recordemos al historiador Polibio -autor de la célebre Historia Genera/de Roma quien sentó, desde el siglo 11 antes de Cristo, una premisa muy negativa sobre ese manoseado sistema de gobierno que ahora -22 siglos después-se ha puesto tan de moda. Dijo: "La monarquía degenera en tiranía, la aristocracia en oligarquía y la democracia en violencia y anarquía." El correr dela historia parece darle la razón a Polibio, no solo por las experiencias monárquicas del siglo XVII y la aristocracia imperante en el XIX y en el XX, sino también por los rumbos actuales de las democracias nacientes en Europa, Asia, África y Latinoamérica. El inconformismo, la desilusión, la decadencia de los partidos políticos, el abstencionismo, la pérdida de fe, la desarticulada sociedad civil y, en última instancia, la "violencia y anarquía" de Polibio, que tanto se parecen al caos descrito por los más recientes teóricos posmodernos, son las características del tiempo que vivimos.

Regulations in customs and Excise have an important function in regulating legally every policy and decision making. Thus, the type of rules are made varies according to the hierarchy of the regulator. This regulation is also changing, following policy developments that occured in the higgest government. then, what if this organization has not been able to manage its regulatory archiving? even regulatory changes can not be tracked? So, we need a well-organized system that can accomodate all of the rules and the associated changes and connectedness with other type of regulations. This system will help us to provide convenience to users to search, manage and track the history of changes as well as the relationship between the rules used by the organization. This paper propose the design of an ontology-based semantic network using a graph database that use neo4j 2.3.1 as a solution. In the application that uses the sample data, we found 13 types of nodes that contains 242 child nodes and 22 type of relation that contain 548 relation that connect all the node within 3305ms.

Richard Strauss's song "Frühlingsfeier," op. 56, no. 5, was originally composed for voice and piano in 1906 and orchestrated in 1933. Its choice of poet – Heinrich Heine – is unusual in the context of the literary trends and political attitudes in Germany at the contemporaneous moments. "Frühlingsfeier" resembles Strauss's opera Salome in subject matter: female grief for a beautiful man. The corybantic musical style of Strauss's setting is emphasized in its orchestral version, which was intended for the soprano Viorica Ursuleac, who recorded it in 1936. Strauss's stature as a Lieder composer – despite the popularity of many of his songs – has often been queried. However, what seems on the surface to be a continuation of the late-Romantic tradition is subtly inflected by his poetic decisions and by musical renderings that need to be understood as part of a flexible continuum between versions of the song. Past and present are of less concern than being able to move fluidly between past, present, and future. Such movement opens up the 22 possibility of a less rigid interpretation of Strauss's historical standing that allows his songs to be considered as other than simply regressive.

Clemency and rehabilitation as the pardoning belong to the President's prerogatives based on the attributie and discretion authority in consideration to endorse or to reject them. In the implementation of the prerogatives of the Presidential Decree (beschikking), the President should impose it wisely (guided by Principles of Algemene Beginselen Van Behoerlijk Bestuur) and by the concept of law (rechtmatigeheid). But in fact, politically there was "abuse of power" (detournement de povoir) and as if it were the President's prerogatives in the field of discretion. It can be seen from the endorsement of Antasari Azhar clemency through the Presidential Decree No. 1 / G / 2017 dated on January 16, Th 2017, whereas in Antasari Azhar previous application for the clemency was rejected by the President pursuant to the Presidential Decree No.27 / G / 2015 dated on 27 July, Th 2015. As we all know the clemency application may strictly be purposed merely (1) onces (lex stricta, lex scripta, lex certa) as stipulated in Article 2 paragraph (3) of the Act No. 22 of 2002 as amended by the Act No. 5 of 2010 about clemency.

Youths living in rural communities have limited access to internet resources. Majority who have access to it have used it for limited purposes. The study investigated pattern of internet use among youths in the study area. Multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 245 youths for the study. Questionnaire was used for data collection. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Result showed more males used internet more than female (i.e 73.5% and 26.5%) respectively. Many of them (86.4%) were within ages 18-22, above average were Christians (69.4%) while the remaining were Muslims respectively. Their variations in their use of mobile platforms and applications are as follows: 82.9% used 2go, 42.4% used facebook, 54.3% used SMS, while 8.2% used it for online transactions like purchase of products.

It was established that youths in the communities used the internet for various purposes ranging from social to economic and religious purposes.

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivos identificar las construcciones metodológicas que despliegan los residentes de un instituto de Educación Física en sus intervenciones pedagógicas en escuelas de Educación Primaria en la provincia de San Juan, y describir las características que presentan, dando cuenta del modo en que facilitan u obstaculizan el proceso de construcción del conocimiento. Conformaron parte de este proyecto "exploratorio descriptivo" las intervenciones pedagógicas llevadas adelante por 12 (doce) residentes durante 22 (veintidós) clases en 3 (tres) escuelas coformadoras. A través de una metodología cualitativa, en cada una de las observaciones se dejó constancia de las mismas a partir de un registro descriptivo y una copia del plan de clase propuesto por cada uno de los estudiantes. El juego, los juegos modificados, la clase concebida como una unidad, el clima de confianza y seguridad, los resabios de la gimnasia militar, las situaciones problemas, el trabajo cooperativo y el conocimiento de la neurociencia aplicado a la clase, representan los principales factores que afectan las propuestas de acción de los futuros docentes de Educación Física.
