AbstractWhile regulators, firms, and the courts must all be able to interpret regulations to best address economic and social issues, regulatory interpretation may vary greatly across parties. After introducing a framework to explain the impact of the complexity of written regulations and the complexity of the regulatory environment on regulatory interpretation, this paper utilizes regulatory examples to explore the challenges associated with regulatory interpretation. Several recent initiatives designed to improve regulatory efficacy are examined to assess potential methods available to reduce challenges associated with regulatory interpretation. When considered with the public policy implementation literature and research on networks in public policy, several implications emerge from the consideration of regulatory interpretation and recent regulatory initiatives. Regulators should pursue strategies to minimize the number of possible interpretations in the design of regulation and seek improved regulatory mechanisms to alleviate regulatory interpretation challenges. Furthermore, theoretical models should acknowledge regulatory interpretation to better assist in the design and implementation of regulation.

PurposeTwitter is gaining popularity as a microblogging and social networking service to discuss various social issues. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a global pandemic and is discussed worldwide. Social media is an instant platform to deliberate various dimensions of COVID-19. The purpose of the study is to explore and analyze the public sentiments related to COVID-19 vaccines across the Twitter messages (positive, neutral, and negative) and the impact tweets make across digital social circles.Design/methodology/approachTo fetch the vaccine-related posts, a manual examination of randomly selected 500 tweets was carried out to identify the popular hashtags relevant to the vaccine conversation. It was found that the hashtags “covid19vaccine” and “coronavirusvaccine” were the two popular hashtags used to discuss the communications related to COVID-19 vaccines. 23,575 global tweets available in public domain were retrieved through “Twitter Application Programming Interface” (API), using “Orange Software”, an open-source machine learning, data visualization and data mining toolkit. The study was confined to the tweets posted in English language only. The default data cleaning and preprocessing techniques available in the “Orange Software” were applied to the dataset, which include “transformation”, “tokenization” and “filtering”. The “Valence Aware Dictionary for sEntiment Reasoning” (VADER) tool was used for classification of tweets to determine the tweet sentiments (positive, neutral and negative) as well as the degree of sentiments (compound score also known as sentiment score). To assess the influence/impact of tweets account wise (verified and unverified) and sentiment wise (positive, neutral, and negative), the retweets and likes, which offer a sort of reward or acknowledgment of tweets, were used.FindingsA gradual decline in the number of tweets over the time is observed. Majority (11,205; 47.52%) of tweets express positive sentiments, followed by neutral (7,948; 33.71%) and negative sentiments (4,422; 18.75%), respectively. The study also signifies a substantial difference between the impact of tweets tweeted by verified and unverified users. The tweets related to verified users have a higher impact both in terms of retweets (65.91%) and likes (84.62%) compared to the tweets tweeted by unverified users. Tweets expressing positive sentiments have the highest impact both in terms of likes (mean = 10.48) and retweets (mean = 3.07) compared to those that express neutral or negative sentiments.Research limitations/implicationsThe main limitation of the study is that the sentiments of the people expressed over one single social platform, that is, Twitter have been studied which cannot generalize the global public perceptions. There can be a variation in the results when the datasets from other social media platforms will be studied.Practical implicationsThe study will help to know the people's sentiments and beliefs toward the COVID-19 vaccines. Sentiments that people hold about the COVID-19 vaccines are studied, which will help health policymakers understand the polarity (positive, negative, and neutral) of the tweets and thus see the public reaction and reflect the types of information people are exposed to about vaccines. The study can aid the health sectors to intensify positive messages and eliminate negative messages for an enhanced vaccination uptake. The research can also help design more operative vaccine-advocating communication by customizing messages using the obtained knowledge from the sentiments and opinions about the vaccines.Originality/valueThe paper focuses on an essential aspect of COVID-19 vaccines and how people express themselves (positively, neutrally and negatively) on Twitter.

"Policy processes are complex systems and require an in-depth and comprehensive analysis. Especially, factors that affect public policy design and implementation, as two important stages of the public policy cycle, have not been sufficiently explored. The aim of the paper is to analyze the relationship between two critical factors that influence the design and implementation of public policies in the case of Slovenia, namely strategic factors and normative factors, and offer a basis for comparison with similar countries. Based on twenty-two structured interviews with prominent public policy experts in Slovenia and content analysis of the responses, the findings reveal that, although strategic factors are identified by the interviewees as the most critical, the role of normative factors is also important and should not be underestimated. For various reasons, in practice, normative factors often turn out to be crucial."

Automatic recognition of judgments rendered within the course of insolvency proceedings constitutes one of the fundamental principles of the EIR, as recognition is based on mutual trust and is crucial regarding maintenance of the universality of (main) insolvency proceedings. This chapter scrutinizes the mechanism through which recognition operates pursuant to the EIR. Recognition applies only to certain judgments handed down during insolvency proceedings; therefore, we must determine which types of judgment enjoy recognition pursuant to the EIR. Discussion then focuses on the impact of recognizing foreign judgments before exploring the public policy exception, this being the only ground upon which refusal of recognition may be based. As enforcement of judgments in foreign Member States may be necessary, the manner in which the EIR ensures the enforceability of judgments handed down during insolvency proceedings will also be observed.

The Impact

The impact is that many of the SMK, SMA and MA graduates have not been able to compete in the business world and in the Industrial world especially the SMK that dominates Surabaya's open unemployment rate of 11.74 percent, from the data indicating that there is a poor relationship between education and employment. The public policy model implemented in SMKs in Surabaya including SMK N 7 Surabaya is still centralized at the central of government. The impact of these policies is the implementation of policies that seem slow and not on target. The relationship between schools and business actors also does not work well if it is based on not absorbing graduates of SMK N 7 Surabaya in the fields of work around the school environment. This research intends to examine more deeply the public policy of the management of production units in SMKs and the models that can improve the management of SMK industrial units, where later than reporting these SMK production units becomes clear, it is hoped that the performance of these production units will also increase. The public policy evaluation model which is used as the basis for this research theory is to compare the results obtained with the objectives or targets of public policy determined to assess how far a public policy can produce results. Based on the research that has been done, a conclusion can be drawn that SMK N 7 Surabaya is in an unfavourable condition in using its internal strengths to overcome internal weaknesses. The public policy model in the management of the production unit of SMK 7 N Surabaya as a whole is in the good category with average scores, an average of 77.33%.

Badan Pertanahan Nasional (BPN) Kabupaten Ogan Ilir pada tahun 2018 menargetkan 5400 sertifikat tanah diterbitkan melalui implementasi percepatan Pendaftaran Tanah Sistematis Lengkap (PTSL). Namun realitas menunjukkan BPN hanya mampu menerbitkan tanah sebanyak 27, 39% atau 1951 sertifikat. Kebijakan PTSL diluncurkan untuk mengantisipasi masih banyak tanah yang belum disertifikatkan di berbagai wilayah di Indonesia, termasuk di wilayah Kabupaten Ogan Ilir. Melalui metode penelitian kualitatif deskriptif dengan wawancara mendalam kepada informan terpilih dan observasi lapangan,  serta dengan metode analisis triangulasi, diperoleh hasil penelitian bahwa implementasi kebijakan percepatan PTSL secara umum telah berjalan sesuai dengan standar operasional prosedur (SOP) namun dukungan anggaran belum maksimal,  kuantitas petugas PTSL yang masih sedikit dan kualitas yang masih rendah, masyarakat kurang peduli dan masih enggan mendaftarkan tanahnya dengan alasan lamban, lama dan mahal serta tingkat kesulitan yang berbeda-beda dalam proses pengukuran tanah/lahan. Temuan penelitian ini merekomendasikan kepada BPN bahwa implementasi kebijakan PTSL akan dapat berjalan dengan optimal bila didukung anggaran yang memadai, aparat yang cukup dan berkualitas serta pelayanan yang berkualitas.   Kata kunci:  implementasi kebijakan,  pendaftaran tanah sistematis lengkap, BPN, Ogan Ilir
