This document provides an overview of systems approaches to addressing complex public sector challenges. It discusses the need for systems thinking given increasing complexity in policy issues. Traditional linear and sectoral approaches are often inadequate for "wicked problems" that have many interconnected elements. The document then outlines some of the challenges of using systems approaches in the public sector, such as the difficulty of changing systems that must continue operating. It provides examples of systems approaches being used for issues like child protection, domestic violence, and transportation. The key is focusing on outcomes, bringing together multiple actors, and implementing interventions to transform existing systems into desired future systems. Case studies and emerging evidence suggest systems approaches have potential but also face challenges in public sector contexts.

It outlines the goals of developing a research roadmap to strengthen the policy making community. The proposed method is open and recursive. The document envisions a third way of policy making that is open, evidence-based, and addresses the full policy cycle from anticipating issues to evaluation. It acknowledges challenges in ensuring technology leads to real policy impacts and cultural changes. Next steps include collaboratively curating examples and continuing discussion through online groups.
This document discusses policy informatics and outlines its key concepts. Policy informatics explores how information and communication technologies (ICT) can support policymaking and governance by leveraging large amounts of data and analytical tools. It recognizes that ICT can help address increasingly complex social and policy problems. The document defines important terms like public policy, policymaking, governance, and policy informatics. It also outlines how ICT is used across the different phases of the policy lifecycle and provides an example of an open collaboration process and tools used in policy modeling.

A new relevant relationship between communities and local authorities through...José Carlos Mota
This document discusses new models for digital creativity in the relationship between communities and local authorities. It addresses the difficulties in this relationship including a democratic deficit and lack of transparency. It sees potential for community self-organized civic movements to emerge and help improve citizen participation. There are challenges around coordinating these diverse groups and integrating their views. The role of technology could enable bottom-up and engaged processes to produce more democratic decision making through creative uses like online and offline dialogue arenas, knowledge facilitators, and knowledge sharing.

Report on current policies and regulatory frameworksOles Kulchytskyy
The Report on current policies and regulatory frameworks for social media and content convergence: information disorder, human rights and regulatory implications (D2.1) provides a
comprehensive insight into regulatory and governance initiatives addressing the human rights concerns related to information disorder in social media and a better understanding of the
regulatory and governance implications, including their potential impact on the fragmentation of the single market.
The information is prepared by the team of the COMPACT project (http://compact-media.eu/).
COMPACT is a Coordination and Support Action funded European Commission under framework Horizon 2020.
The objective of the COMPACT project is to increase awareness (including scientific, political, cultural, legal, economic and technical areas) of the latest technological discoveries among key stakeholders in the context of social media and convergence. The project will offer analyses and road maps of related initiatives. In addition, extensive research on policies and regulatory frameworks in media and content will be developed.
Open Data Opportunities in the Development Sector - Marijn Rijken - TNOopenforchange
The document summarizes an open data development camp workshop discussing opportunities for open data in the development sector. It provides an agenda for learning about international open data strategies, getting inspired by examples, and acting to identify own opportunities. Open data can help address challenges in development by improving cooperation, harmonization, participation, transparency, and financing. Drivers include political will and transparency, while barriers include organizational size, awareness, privacy, and technical skills. Participants identified opportunities around environmental awareness, entrepreneurship, budget transparency, and intervention harmonization.
The WeGov project aims to improve engagement between governments and citizens by utilizing popular social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook. The project objectives are to develop a software solution that allows policymakers to use social media to engage citizens and understand their opinions to influence policy decisions. The WeGov toolbox includes tools to seed discussions, track opinions, and analyze social network discussions, topics, activities, and user behavior to provide insights for policymakers. The toolbox is intended to provide a flexible solution and enable governments to make better use of existing social media discussions.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
