Implementation of BIM is slow and concentrated among few large firms. The construction industry in UK has to overcome several challenges to achieve effective BIM implementation. The BIM implementation entails various components that include technology, people, policy and people. The transition to use of BIM depends on changing hardware and software and essential in the BIM implementation process in United Kingdom. In Award, what was covered was the implementation of 2D BIM in small to medium-sized companies and not BIM with all the current levels in all sized companies within the UK. BIM adoption is dependent on the diffusion and implementation strategy before it gets to the adoption stage. There is a greater need to standardize and benchmark the UKs BIM diffusion, implementation, and adoption strategy.

 Hingga saat ini, belum ada basis indikator dan ukuran internasional yang diterapkan sebelum COVID-19—baik indikator kesehatan, ekonomi, maupun sosial-politik— yang dapat digunakan untuk memprediksi bagaimana performa tiap negara dalam merespon COVID-19. Negara dengan ekonomi yang besar belum tentu dapat merespon pandemi dengan mumpuni. Dinamika yang tidak jauh berbeda juga dialami oleh Inggris. Inggris masih menempati posisi ketiga tertinggi di wilayah Eropa dengan kasus kumulatif COVID-19 per Agustus 2020. Pun ini diperumit dengan tingkat kematian (case fatality rate/CFR) COVID-19 di Inggris sebagai persentase tertinggi di Eropa. Ini menjadikan proses implementasi kebijakan Inggris terkait COVID-19 menarik untuk dikaji. Analisis kebijakan ini didasari pada lensa syndemic yang menekankan pentingnya implikasi non-kesehatan untuk diinkorporasi dalam pembuatan kebijakan serta whole-of-society menggarisbawahi koordinasi aktor-aktor negara dan non-negara penting untuk proses implementasi. Temuan tulisan ini ialah kebijakan pemerintah Inggris berbentuk learn-to-reflect; mencoba inklusif dan holistik serta berhasil menekan pertumbuhan kasus baru, namun observasi mendatang antara koordinasi aktor dalam multisektor isu terhadap efektivitas kebijakan jangka panjang masih diperlukan. Kata-Kata Kunci: Inggris; COVID-19; Syndemic-Pandemic; Whole-Of-Society; Kolaborasi Pemerintahan; Ketimpangan  To date, no fixed international indicators set prior to the start of COVID-19—either health, economics, or socio-politics indicators—can be used to predict how states’ policies fared in responding to COVID-19. A state with an enormous economic power does not necessarily equip to respond the pandemic adequately. The United Kingdom (UK) has encountered similar dynamic. The UK remains as the third country with the most cumulative cases of COVID-19 in the Europe as per August 2020. This complicated by the UK’s COVID-19 CFR that remains as the highest in the Europe. This brought to light a puzzle in how the UK implement its COVID-19 policy. The analysis in this study utilized a syndemic lens in which emphasises the importance of non-health issues to be incorporated into the policy, as well as based the policy implementation process on the whole-of-society approach where state and non-state actors’ coordination remains significant. The findings on UK policy response mimicked a model of learn-to-reflect; attempted to be inclusive and holistic, as well as successfully reduced new daily COVID-19 cases, yet, the upcoming observation on the coordination between actors on multisectoral issues and how this affects the effectiveness of long-term policy remains as an utmost necessity. Keywords: United Kingdom; COVID-19; Syndemic-Pandemic; Whole-Of-Society; Governance Collaboration; Inequality

Until 2019, TBE was considered only to be an imported disease to the United Kingdom. In that year, evidence became available that the TBEV is likely circulating in the country1,2 and a first “probable case” of TBE originating in the UK was reported.3 In addition to TBEV, louping ill virus (LIV), a member of the TBEV-serocomplex, is also endemic in parts of the UK. Reports of clinical disease caused by LIV in livestock are mainly from Scotland, parts of North and South West England and Wales.4

The aim of this paper is to analyse the risk transfer issue in Public Private Partnership/Private Finance Initiative (PPP/PFI) procurement documents in the United Kingdom (UK) and Malaysia. It utilises qualitative research methods using documentation and interviews for data collection. The UK documents (guidelines and contracts) identify the risks related to this form of public procurement of services and makeexplicittheappropriateallocation of those risks between the public and the private sector PPP/PFI partners and so the types of risks each party should bear. However, in Malaysia, such allocation of risks was not mentioned in PPP/PFI guidelines. Hence, a question arises regarding whether risk transfer exists in Malaysian PPP/PFI projects, whether in contracts or by other means. This research question is the rationale for the comparative analysis ofdocumentsand practicesrelatingtorisk transfer in the PPP/PFI procurements in both countries. The results clarify risk-related issues that arise in implementing PPP/PFI procurement in Malaysia, in particular how risk is conceptualised, recognised and allocated (whether explicitly or implicitly), whether or not that allocation is intended to achieve optimum risk transfer, and so the implications forachievement ofvalue for moneyor other such objectivesinPPP/PFI.

This paper covers the approach taken by WRc to the practical application of research results. WRc works on an annual programme of research paid for collectively by the UK water utilities totalling ₤15m. In addition contract research is carried out for government largely on environmental matters and for utilities and others on a confidential basis. The approach to the implementation described here deals with the application of results across the whole of the United Kingdom where there are a large number of users of the results but with varying degrees of interest in any particular topic. The requirement is to inform all of the outcome of the work and then to provide the facility of rapid implementation for those who have an immediate requirement to apply the new knowledge and technology.

This chapter explores the history of volunteers in the founding and development of United Kingdom (UK) hospice services. It considers the changing role and influences of volunteering on services at different stages of development. Evidence suggests that voluntary sector hospice and palliative care services are dependent on volunteers for the range and quality of services delivered. Within such services, volunteer trustees carry significant responsibility for the strategic direction of the organiszation. Others are engaged in diverse roles ranging from the direct support of patient and families to public education and fundraising. The scope of these different roles is explored before considering the range of management models and approaches to training. This chapter also considers the direct and indirect impact on volunteering of changing palliative care, societal, political, and legislative contexts. It concludes by exploring how and why the sector is changing in the UK and considering the growing autonomy of volunteers within the sector.

Renewable energy (RE) is one of the most popular public policy orientations worldwide. Compared to some other countries and continents, Europe has gained an early awareness of energy and environmental problems in general. At the theoretical level, free-market environmentalism indicates that based on the principle of private property rights, with fewer state interventionist and regulation policies, entrepreneurs, as the driving force of the market economy, can provide better services to meet the necessity of offering RE to protect the environment more effectively. Previous studies have revealed that Germany, Denmark, and the United Kingdom have made some progress in using the market to develop RE. However, this research did not analyze the three countries’ RE conditions from the perspective of free-market environmentalism. Based on our review of the principles of free-market environmentalism, this paper originally provides an empirical study of how Germany, Denmark, and the United Kingdom have partly conducted free-market-oriented policies to successfully achieve their policy goal of RE since the 1990s on a practical level. In particular, compared with Germany and Denmark, the UK has maintained a relatively low energy tax rate and opted for more pro-market measures since the Hayekian-Thatcherism free-market reform of 1979. The paper also discovers that Fredrich A. Hayek’s theories have strongly impacted its energy liberalization reform agenda since then. Low taxes on the energy industry and electricity have alleviated the burden on the electricity enterprises and consumers in the UK. Moreover, the empirical results above show that the energy enterprises play essential roles in providing better and more affordable RE for household and industrial users in the three sampled countries. Based on the above results, the paper also warns that state intervention policies such as taxation, state subsidies, and industrial access restrictions can impede these three countries’ RE targets. Additionally, our research provides reform agendas and policy suggestions to policymakers on the importance of implementing free-market environmentalism to provide more efficient RE in the post-COVID-19 era.
