Abstract:
The paper studies organizational support with respect to Human Resource Management during the COVID-19 pandemic. It examines HRM initiatives regarding changing in jobs, working routine, workplaces, and remote working conditions. The paper analyses how HR managers supported employees during the pandemic and how top-management encouraged employee wellbeing. It also explores whether HRM practice and employee emotions are a strategic focus for companies. Quantitative data for this research was collected with survey from forty-eight organizations located in Georgia. The findings suggest that HRM supported staff with helping them to update their skills for remote working, established flexible working hours, and adopted less strict policies regarding performance management. Additionally, HR managers have been encouraged by the top-management in implementing initiatives concerning employee physical and emotional wellbeing. Furthermore, HRM should be a strategic focus for any organization to lay foundation of employee relationship and organizational culture in order to overcome difficulties and adapt to the changes. The novelty of the research highlights the importance of HRM practice when economies are facing the threat of recession. It contributes to HRM in terms of supporting employees during the pandemic as well as from the top-management perspective to promote HR initiatives, and paves the way for further studies in this field.

Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the role of specific human resource management (HRM) practices in the implementation of environmental initiatives in terms of their impact on employee attitudes to the organization and to its environmental programme. Design/methodology/approach – The study used a mixed method approach comprising a survey of 675 employees and 16 semi-structured interviews undertaken across two organizations. Findings – Survey data, analysed using path analysis, showed that participation in environmental initiatives is directly associated with higher levels of employee engagement with the organization, higher rating of their organization’s environmental performance, and lower intention to quit. The qualitative study supports the quantitative data, also highlighting other aspects of environmental initiatives that may affect employee attitudes. Research limitations/implications – Future study should either collect longitudinal data or rely on data collected from two waves of data collection. Objective performance data should also be collected in order to better understand the causal effect of HRM on environmental performance. Practical implications – Our findings have implications for the business case for sustainability, providing some evidence that implementing environmental initiatives with HRM support may not only motivate staff around environmental programmes but may provide wider benefits for organizations in terms of overall job satisfaction and employee retention. Social implications – Successful implementation of environmental management initiatives have both organizational and employee level outcomes. Employees who were more aligned with their organizational environmental objectives were found to be more engaged and less likely to quit. Originality/value – This study provided both quantitative and qualitative empirical evidence to support the importance of integrating the HRM function into the implementation of environmental initiatives.

Abstract:
Businesses today understand the critical need of adopting Green HRM practises, which have a direct bearing on their long-term viability. Green HRM, or human resource management that prioritises environmental sustainability, refers to the use of HRM principles and practises to ensure the efficient and responsible use of an organization's resources. The term "green HRM" refers to a set of practises that are implemented with the goal of preventing damage to the environment and safeguarding the planet from potential natural and anthropogenic calamities. This article examines what green HRM is, why it's important, and what kinds of green HR initiatives and practises may help bring about green HRM in the workplace. The state of Chhattisgarh contains 23 public sector entities, all of which might benefit greatly from implementing Green HRM policies and procedures. This paper explores sustainable methods that businesses may implement to position themselves for future success.

Abstract:
The Problem Policies on employee leave and flexible workplace arrangements have not met the needs of employees in achieving work-life balance. Even when such policies do exist, employers are largely unable to actualize the benefits of these policies. These challenges have been exacerbated by the global pandemic creating more demand for work-life flexibility practices. The Solution Organizations must engage in a paradigm and cultural shift to achieve the benefits of work-life policies and practices. An organizational culture that moves beyond a human resource management (HRM) lens of administration and compliance to a human resource development (HRD) lens of support and development is central to overcoming this challenge. The Stakeholders Stakeholders for this concluding article include executive leaders of organizations, HRD and HRM scholars and practitioners.

Abstract:
Worldwide, the environmental policymakers and researchers have argued that the causes of environmental deterioration such as loss of biodiversity, increased pollution and resource deficit are entrenched into the human behaviors. In this regard, most of the firms tend towards guaranteeing that their day-to-day operations are not harmful to environment by the application of green initiatives. Thus, there exists an emerging need for shaping and understanding the employee behavior to decrease these harmful environmental effects. Present study, therefore, contributes to the debate by empirically investigating the impact of four dimensions of green HRM practices. The study further incorporates top management support as a mediating mechanism in the relationship between green HRM practices and environmental performance. The study uses green HRM practices (green training and development, green performance management, green employee involvement and green recruitment and selection) as explanatory variables, top management support as mediating variable and environmental performance as outcome variable. The data are collected from 314 respondents working in the manufacturing firms of Pakistan. The study finds positive effect of green HRM practices on environmental performance. The study shows that top management support significantly mediates between green HRM practice and environmental performance. The study suggests promoting top management support to improve environmental performance as it helps firms to achieve sustainable comparative advantage and let the firms produce environmentally friendly products. The study concludes that the appreciation by the top management motivates the employees to engage in environmentally friendly initiatives which leads towards sustainable environmental performance.

Abstract:
In the context of Human Resource Management (HRM), organisations have been increasingly encouraged to implement a range of practices which, it is argued, will improve their competitiveness in the global market place. Thus, change initiatives within organisations follow one after the other. Yet, although there is apparent acceptance among practitioners and academics that evaluation is a crucial step in any process of continual improvement the reality is often that little has been done to assess the impact and degree of success of each initiative before organisations progress to the next. However, despite wide acknowledgement within the literature that is a significant problem there are few explanations offered and little evidence of any in-depth empirical exploration of the issues involved. This thesis reports on a study which sought to identify and explain the factors which created barriers to evaluation. Using a case study approach the research explored the reality of the evaluation process as it occurred in three UK public sector organisations, each of which was seeking to evaluate a Human Resource Management (HRM) change initiative. Two distinct types of barrier were found to exist which were labelled primary and secondary. As anticipated, there were barriers (secondary) that arose during an evaluation process that related to the choices made about purpose, process and responsibility and which made it difficult for 'good' (thorough, unbiased, relevant) evaluation to occur. However, of greater significance was the discovery in all three organisations of other factors (primary barriers) which, in combination, created a context in which the failure to undertake formal evaluation could be justified as a reasoned, and reasonable, action on the part of managers thereby offering an explanation for why such evaluations are rare. These primary barriers relate to the organisational and individual value placed on the act of evaluating and the learning that occurs as a result of any findings, including the way that it informs the change. Among those responsible for the initiation and implementation of the initiative (normally those who have control of the resources necessary to enable formal evaluation to take place), informal evaluation of the initiative and the context in which it occurred determined the perceived degree of need for formal evaluation to take place. Past experience, observation and shared perceptions suggested that formal evaluation activity was neither valued nor required by the organisation and was likely to have negative personal consequences. Matters are further clouded by an academic and practitioner literature which actively promotes the benefits of HRM strategies, supported by simplistic prescriptions for success, while the majority of empirical studies offer examples which substantiate these claims. In each of the cases reported here the nature of the chosen HRM initiative was assumed to be inherently good, something which would inevitably benefit the organisation in some way, by those responsible for its adoption and implementation thus making formal assessment unnecessary. The research clearly identifies the complexity of the barriers; each type having its roots in different factors that need to be addressed in a variety of ways if they are to be overcome and thus enable the organisation is to achieve the collective, and productive, learning from experience increasingly called for by the management literature. Until evaluation is valued at senior levels and accompanied by the necessary incentives, responsibilities, resources and rewards, wider perception of it as an important and valued activity is unlikely to become an active reality. Thus, the failure to learn from experience, to share understanding and to achieve both continuous improvement and greater levels of success in the management of change will continue. It is also clear that the same academic literature which is currently advocating a key role for HR and evaluation in the context of change needs to offer more in the way of information, guidance and support to make a positive contribution to the changes in perception that are required.

Abstract:
The significance of capacity development programmes, as key driver for sustaining development goals, is anchored in all international fora. This research complements and extends our present understanding of the contribution of capacity development approaches to development and achievement of the SDGs. This is achieved by critically assessing the impact of capacity development initiatives sponsored by the World Bank. This thesis has focused on analysis of implementation strategies and critical assessment of the impact of the projects using multidisciplinary approach, utilising a range of quantitative and qualitative methods. It provides a sound empirical basis for assessing the complexities of these projects. This empirical investigation has identified a wide range of disparities of implementation strategies utilised for capacity development initiatives among the major international players (World Bank and UNDP). These findings clearly indicate that there is no single strategy for the implementation of capacity development initiatives. Thus, based on empirical evidence, as well as a critical review of the literature, the study proposes a model for achieving critical sustainable capacity development based on broad and long-term strategies; input, process, output, and outcome which defines the appropriateness of policies and practices that support sustainable development. It is concluded that capacity development initiatives are relevant and essential ensuring national development and sustainable results. The recommendations include the focus on individual, organisational, and societal factors when planning, developing and adopting strategies for implementing all government/national programmes.

Abstract:
As a response to the growing public awareness on the importance of organisational contributions to sustainable development, there is an increased incentive for corporations to report on their sustainability activities. In parallel with this has been the development of 'Sustainable HRM' which embraces a growing body of practitioner and academic literature connecting the notions of corporate sustainability to HRM. The aim of this article is to analyse corporate sustainability reporting amongst the world's largest companies and to assess the HRM aspects of sustainability within these reports in comparison to environmental aspects of sustainable management and whether organisational attributes - principally country-of-origin - influences the reporting of such practices. A focus in this article is the extent to which the reporting of various aspects of sustainability may reflect dominant models of corporate governance in the country in which a company is headquartered. The findings suggest, first and against expectations, that the overall disclosure on HRM-related performance is not lower than that on environmental performance. Second, companies report more on their internal workforce compared to their external workforce. Finally, international differences, in particular those between companies headquartered in liberal market economies and coordinated market economies, are not as apparent as expected.

Full text
Abstract:
A number of social theorists have recently expressed doubts about the possibility of political deliberation in ancient Israel on the grounds that divine initiative in biblical narrative ultimately tends to overwhelm merely human action. Michael Walzer, for example, suggests that debates among tribal elders might provide evidence of political deliberation, but the absence of such debate in biblical narrative leads him to think that elders came to have a “secular and non-covenantal character” in the eyes of biblical narrators. This chapter argues that the arrival of kingship in Israel was forged through the deliberations of tribal elders, rather than through the application of Deuteronomy’s law of kingship, and that this is briefly, but quite explicitly, depicted in a number of narratives. The biblical texts then reveal an ongoing process of reflection on the performance of kings, with northern tribal elders and southern “people of the land” taking decisive political initiatives.

Abstract:
This chapter considers the interaction of some of the applicable norms related to liability and reparation for environmental damage in a post-conflict setting, including human rights and humanitarian law norms (including precedents) and their interaction with each other, with a focus on the potential consequences for victims. Using displacement as a specific case study, the discussion regarding potential consequences is supported by the learning that may be drawn from precedent reparations schemes, including those implemented in a ‘transitional justice’ framework as part of an attempt to afford ‘justice’ for breaches of human rights and humanitarian law (whether related to the environment or otherwise). The chapter considers some of the potential challenges of this interaction, particularly for justice initiatives, and particularly reparations schemes, experienced in the aftermath of conflict, such as constructing a coherent post-conflict narrative, restitution (or ‘truth’), awarding reparation (including ‘restitution’), and reconciliation as part of ‘peacebuilding’.

Abstract This book chapter is intended to measure egg counts, disease incidence (damage to organs, anemia, growth retardation) and affect cognition. Epidemiologists and mathematical modelers agree that it is unlikely that schistosomiasis and HRT will be eradicated in a very long time, and certainly not until socio-economic recovery with better sanitation and provide potable water introduced in all endemic areas. However, the locals thought that elimination is certainly possible and is the current goal in many countries (WHO has made the plan available to program managers), acknowledging that some hot spots of infection will likely stay with these requiring more regularity of processing. Already in some regions, the MDA has greatly reduced popularity measured by structured monitoring and evaluation.

Abstract:
AbstractUnsafe care results in over 2 million deaths per year and is considered one of the world’s leading causes of death. In 2019, the 72nd World Health Assembly issued a call to action, The Global Action on Patient Safety, that called for Member States to democratize healthcare by engaging with the very users of the healthcare system—patients, families, and community members—along with other partners—in the “co-production” of safer healthcare.The WHO’s Patients for Patient Safety (PFPS) Programme, guided by the London Declaration, addresses this global concern by advancing co-production efforts that demonstrate the powerful and important role that civil society, patients, families, and communities play in building harm reduction strategies that result in safer care in developing and developed countries. The real-world examples from the PFPS Programme and Member States illustrate how civil society as well as patients, families, and communities who have experienced harm from unsafe care have harnessed their wisdom and courageously partnered with passionate and forward-thinking leaders in healthcare including clinicians, researchers, policy makers, medical educators, and quality improvement experts to co-produce sustainable patient safety initiatives. Although each example is different in scope, structure, and purpose and engage different stakeholders at different levels, each highlights the necessary building blocks to transform our healthcare systems into learning environments through co-production of patient safety initiatives, and each responds to the call made in the London Declaration, the WHO PFPS Programme, and the World Health Assembly to place patients, families, communities, and civil society at the center of efforts to improve patient safety.

Abstract:
AbstractFundamental characteristics of healthcare, including approaches to priority-setting, culture, traditions of professional practice, leadership styles, and accountability mechanisms mean that many deep-seated causes of unsafe care have proved intractable to transformation. The wisdom and experience of patients and families that have suffered harm is enormous and should be better harnessed. The World Health Organization has led a diverse range of global action on patient safety over two decades. This has been highly successful in promoting interest, understanding, and commitment as well as driving specific programmes of action throughout the world. The organisation has also played a powerful convening role in bringing experts, organisations, and countries together to discuss and plan initiatives. This focus must be maintained in the face of slow and inconsistent improvement.

Abstract:
AbstractHere we turn to the strategies that young people use to prevent chemical harms, not just those related to single chemicals but also those related to the feedback loops and compounding effects generated by the multiplicity of chemicals in daily life. Chemical Futures takes as an example youth activists in France, the Générations Cobayes, and their mobilization against endocrine-disrupting chemicals. We examine what contributes to the relative invisibility of toxic risk, pointing especially to the role of corporations in generating uncertainty about scientific evidence. The ChemicalYouth project engaged in a range of collaborative, youth-led projects that demonstrate the many ways youth may be engaged in “harm reduction from below.” We suggest that a ChemicalYouth 2.0 project might involve a wider range of researchers, advisors, and laboratories, to make more visible the multiple toxicities that make up young people’s everyday lives. Finally, we argue that governments should team up with youth and complement their efforts with “harm reduction from above” initiatives to regulate unsafe chemicals and support youths’ efforts to observe the effects of chemicals on their bodies and share information with others.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter focuses on treatmentand rehabilitation programs for Aboriginal people—that is, programs and services designed to facilitate recoveryfrom harmful alcohol useand/or dependence and to prevent relapse into harmful drinking. We trace the emergence from the 1970s of a distinctive approach based on residentialtreatment and combining a disease concept of alcoholism with the Twelve Steps pathway developed by Alcoholics Anonymous. This approach has remained widely used to the present day. We also discuss the growth of a variant of the diseasemodel, in which alcohol misuse, together with associated harms such as violence, sexual abuse and self-harm, are viewed as products of unresolved intergenerational trauma associated with colonisation, requiring cultural reconnection and a healing process grounded in Indigenous rather than (or as well as) Western therapeutic approaches. The chapter also reviews initiatives in non-residentialtreatment, support for the Aboriginal alcohol and other drug workforce, and issues relating to the evaluationof treatment.

Abstract:
In a World that is constantly and rapidly changing, innovation is found to be one of the very few sources of competitive advantage. Under such circumstances, it is of utmost importance to create foundation, a competitive base, which will enable innovation from within. This paper provides a portfolio of practical initiatives and discusses how they can drive and move forward company's transformation through the creation of a corporate culture that backs up innovation - all based on a combination of practical and academic experience obtained through the author’s broad professional engagement in multinational companies over many years. Particular emphasize is placed on a number of showcases in transformative human resource management that illustrate how, in practical terms, architecture of employees’ engagement and talent management could be established within an organization to drive a critical impact on the organization’s ability to create a sustainable company-wide culture of innovation.

Abstract:
Over the past decade, the notion of sustainability has received increasing attention in both practice and research. The main goal of this study is to contribute to CSR and HRM research by developing a framework for Socially Responsible HRM (SR-HRM) practices and competitive adavantage throw responsible competitiveness factors. For the purpose of this study, an exhaustive literature review has been conducted with particular focus on high-quality journals with a proven influence in the HRM filed. Concerning searching strategy are analysed forty-two papers published in Q1 and Q2 journal ranking (SJR), two reports published from Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and Eurepean Commision, four books on the filed of HRM, and two papers published on Q3 journal ranking (SJR). The literature review results show that SR-HRM has become an important and irreversible component of doing business. Some SR-HMR practices such as: potential to attract and retain the most motivated employees; opportunities for continuous development and training; company’s capacity to manage employee relationships and conflict resolution; the ability to communicate relevant information fluently, transparently, and foster productive dialogue; enhancement of diversity as a core value; remuneration policy; company justice system; sanitation and safety standards; and work-life balance, when properly implemented, enhance competitive advantage.

Full text
Abstract:
Central Asia is often seen as Russia’s near-abroad. Nonetheless, recent years have shown a more active China in quest for resources, stability, and an attempt to build a Eurasian land axis, to allow a faster connection between East and West within China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Interestingly, both China (BRI) and Russia’s (Eurasian Economic Union) regionalist projects were launched in Kazakhstan, which shows the centrality of this country in the region. We will focus on the geopolitical impacts for Kazakhstan stemming from the overlapping synergies between both the BRI and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). We aim to understand whether this juxtaposition of regional initiatives could be beneficial or cause harm to Kazakhstan’s regional interests. In so doing, we aim at filling in a gap in literature, which has failed to provide a comprehensive assessment of the benefits versus handicaps caused by the overlapping generated by the EAEU and the BRI. Drawing on a qualitative methodology which encompasses primary sources (official speeches and news agencies) and secondary sources (the most respected authors on the field), we argue that Kazakhstan stance vis-à-vis the BRI and the EAEU has been proposedly ambiguous in order to maximize its interests. This being said, the conceptual lens that best serves our purposes is social constructivism. According to it, international relations are best explained by a moderate approach in which states cooperate instead of relying either on a search for survival (as realism defends) or on a utopia of liberal kindness (according to liberalism).

Full text
Abstract:
As part of the U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD) marine application of alternative fuel initiative, the U.S. Navy provided neat hydrotreated renewable diesel (HRD), derived from the hydroprocessing of algal oils, for operational and exhaust emission testing onboard the T/S STATE OF MICHIGAN. This vessel has diesel-electric propulsion with four caterpillar D-398 compression ignition engines; one of these ship service diesel engines was selected as the test engine. The diesel generator sets power both the propulsion motors propelling the ship and provide the electrical power for the hotel loads of the ship. Ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) was blended with the neat HRD fuel in a 50/50-by-volume blend and tested for over 440 hours on the vessel. Exhaust emissions testing was performed while underway on Lake Michigan using the baseline ULSD assessed earlier. A similar profile was run using the blended test fuel. Emission testing was conducted using the ISO 8178 (D2) test cycle. When emissions testing was completed a series of underway and pierside test runs were conducted to accumulate the remaining engine hours, After all testing, the engine conditions were assessed again using a combination of visual inspection and oil analysis. The remainder of the test fuel will be used to conduct a long-term stability test. The setup, test, and results of this testing, currently underway, are reported here with a discussion of MARAD’s alternative fuels test initiative.

Abstract:
To improve and ensure trustworthiness and ethics on Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems, several initiatives around the globe are producing principles and recommendations, which are providing to be difficult to translate into technical solutions. A common trait among ethical AI requirements is accountability that aims at ensuring responsibility, auditability, and reduction of negative impact of AI systems. To put accountability into practice, this paper presents the Global-view Accountability Framework (GAF) that considers auditability and redress of conflicting information arising from a context with two or more AI systems which can produce a negative impact. A technical implementation of the framework for automotive and motor insurance is demonstrated, where the focus is on preventing and reporting harm rendered by autonomous vehicles.

Kim, Jeong Won, and Sungjin Kim. International Agreements and Global Initiatives for Low-Carbon Cooling. Asian Development Bank Institute, October 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.56506/rpae4386.

Full text
Abstract:
Since the mid-1980s, the international community has controlled refrigerants that may damage the ozone layer and cause climate change based on several international agreements. In particular, the Montreal Protocol contributed to not only solving the ozone layer depletion problem but also limiting global warming. Given that the global demand for cooling would triple by 2050 and this rise would increase global greenhouse gas emissions significantly, the Montreal Protocol has expanded its regulatory scope to decarbonize the cooling sector through the adoption of the Kigali Amendment. Also, increasing interest in low-carbon cooling has driven the launch of various global initiatives to complement the international agreements and accelerate low-carbon cooling in developing countries. The experience of implementing the Montreal Protocol and its amendments suggests some lessons and insights for making the Kigali Amendment work well. First, each country should develop and enforce national policies aligned with international agreements. Second, financial and technical support mechanisms should be strengthened to facilitate developing countries’ compliance with the Kigali Amendment. Third, along with the improving energy efficiency of cooling, the substances that neither harm the ozone layer nor exacerbate climate change should be used as substitutes for hydrofluorocarbons. Last, the monitoring, reporting, and verification of controlled substances need to be strengthened.

Abstract:
Early detection and treatment of sexually transmitted infections, HIV, and hepatitis B and C are vital to minimise the harm they cause. This Evidence Check aimed to identify effective initiatives that engage and support GPs and the GP clinic workforce in NSW to increase testing for these conditions. It also aimed to identify effective modifications to practice management software to increase GP engagement in screening and care for these conditions. Sixty-two articles were found in total. The most effective initiatives used multiple interventions, particularly provider education and quality improvement. They involved both GPs and other health workers, and offered clinic-level initiatives to help identify patients at higher risk (e.g. software-generated alerts) and engage them in testing (e.g. through self-collected specimens). Models of care that used nurse-led testing or links to specialist services offered a way to increase capacity to carry out testing. The quality of evidence was mixed—there were few randomised controlled trials, and little evidence about the sustainability of the initiatives over time, highlighting the need for further high-quality research.

Full text
Abstract:
This report supports an evidence-based approach to the prevention and education objective of the National Strategy to Reduce Harm from Gambling. Applying a public health policy lens, it considers three levels of measures: universal (for the benefit of the whole population), selective (for the benefit of at-risk groups), and indicated (for the benefit of at-risk individuals). Six measures are reviewed by drawing upon a range of evidence in the academic and grey literature. The universal level measures are “Regulatory restriction on how gambling is provided” and “Population-based safer gambling/responsible gambling efforts.” Selective measures focus on age cohorts in a chapter entitled, “Targeted safer gambling campaigns for children, youth, and older adults.” The indicated measures are “Brief internet delivered interventions for gambling,” “Systems and tools that produced actual (‘hard’) barriers and limit access to funds,” and “Self-exclusion.” Since the quantity and quality of the evidence base varied by measure, appropriate review methods were selected to assess publications using a systematic, scoping, or narrative approach. Some measures offered consistent findings regarding the effectiveness of interventions and initiatives, while others were less clear. Unintended consequences were noted since it is important to be aware of unanticipated, negative consequences resulting from prevention and education activities. After reviewing the evidence, authors identified knowledge gaps that require further research, and provided guidance for how the findings could be used to enhance the prevention and education objective. The research evidence is supplemented by consultations with third sector charity representatives who design and implement gambling harm prevention and education programmes. Their insights and experiences enhance, support, or challenge the academic evidence base, and are shared in a separate chapter. Overall, research evidence is limited for many of the measures. Quality assessments suggest that improvements are needed to support policy decisions more fully. Still, opportunities exist to advance evidence-based policy for an effective gambling harm prevention and education plan.

Full text
Abstract:
The clearest overall message from across the literature is that designing human resources for health (HRH) initiatives should begin by understanding the needs of a health system or population rather than choosing a specific strategy. In other words, there are no strategies that are universally effective, only strategies that are more or less appropriate to their context. One group of experienced researchers note the “difficulty in predicting how effective a strategy will be in a given context” (Rowe et al, 2018b). Another states that “in 2006, the World Health Report observed that a ‘solution is not straightforward, and there is no consensus on how to proceed.’ This observation remains true in 2020” (Kerry et al., 2020, p.1). The appetite for evidence-based solutions to the health workforce crisis in low-and-middle-income-countries (LMICs) has driven a large research effort to compare different strategies across multiple contexts. The most comprehensive to date, the Health Care Provider Performance Review (HCPPR), offers some findings, but the authors themselves are tentative in their recommendations given the methodological complexity of the research task.

Full text
Abstract:
Hälsa och hälsovanor skapas i tidig ålder vilket understryker vikten av tidiga insatser där hem, barnhälsovård, förskola och skola är viktiga aktörer. Enligt Artikel 6 i FN:s konvention om barnets rättigheter (1) har varje barn rätt att överleva, leva och utvecklas fysiskt, psykiskt, andligt, moraliskt och socialt. Då barnkonventionen sedan 2020 är en del av svensk lag väcks frågor om hur vi gemensamt kan sträva efter att göra det bästa för barnen. Trots en generellt god framtidstro uppger dagens unga generation att de upplever sömnbesvär, huvudvärk, nedstämdhet och andra psykiska besvär i större utsträckning än tidigare och de konsumerar mer sjukvård och psykofarmaka för dessa symtom jämfört med tidigare generationer. Därutöver rör de sig mindre och andelen barn och unga med fetma och övervikt ökar. I linje med denna problematik har antalet nya fall av depression, ångestsyndrom, självskador och ätstörningar bland barn och unga vuxna ökat under en lång tid. Förklaringar och orsaker bakom denna ökning är många och bilden kring barns hälsa är komplex. Resultaten i denna kunskapsöversikt visar att det är av yttersta vikt att frågor kopplat till både psykisk hälsa och fysisk hälsa måste prioriteras från det att våra barn föds och kontinuerligt under hela deras förskole- och skolgång. Skolan är den enda institution som möter alla barn och därför är det av stor vikt att det i skolan måste finnas förutsättningar i form av kunskap och kompetens för att arbeta hälsofrämjande och se till att barnen ges möjlighet att utvecklas fysiskt, psykiskt, andligt, moraliskt och socialt. Syftet med denna kunskaps-sammanställning är att ge förskole- och skolverksamheter en bättre och mer solid bild av det aktuella kunskaps- och forskningsläget kring barn och ungas hälsa med avsikt att bidra till ökat kunnande och fördjupade diskussioner. Ökade kunskaper om långsiktiga och övergripande behov hos barn och unga behövs för att kunna fördela resurser och genomföra träffsäkra insatser. Utgångspunkten är således att sammanställa befintliga data och forskning inom området utifrån tre områden. 1) belysa trender i barn och ungas hälsa under den senaste 10-årsperioden, 2) belysa faktorer som bidrar till barn och ungas hälsa, samt 3) belysa insatser som visat sig vara verksamma i syfte att främja barns och elevers hälsa. Några av de mest framträdande resultaten i sammanställningen är: Det finns stora kunskapsluckor när det gäller förskolebarns hälsa. Detta kan bero på att det både saknas systematiska metoder för att samla in och sammanställa hälsodata, att det råder oklarheter i hur man mäter de yngsta barnens psykiska välbefinnande och att det saknas forskning om detta. Sammanställningen visar dock att det finns initiativ på gång när det gäller att systematisera och förstå hälsa bland våra yngsta barn. Sedan början på 1990-talet har andelen skolbarn i åldern 11–15 år med övervikt eller fetma mer än dubblerats. Bland 4-åringar ökade andelen med fetma och övervikt under COVID-19 pandemin efter att legat relativt oförändrat sedan en tid tillbaka. I en nationell jämförelse redovisar skånska barn i fyraårsåldern lägst andel fetma och övervikt, vilket förändras med åldern då skånska barn i åldrarna 6–9 har seglat upp som en av de regioner med störst andel barn med övervikt och fetma. Flickor dominerar statistiken upp till 8 års ålder, därefter är det fler pojkar än flickor som lider av fetma och övervikt. Skolungdomar rapporterar att de äter mindre godis, dricker mindre läsk, äter mer grönsaker, röker mindre cigaretter och dricker mindre alkohol. Samtidigt har användningen av snus och e-cigaretter ökat och det är färre skolbarn som äter frukost dagligen. Vidare visar statistiken att den inaktiva tiden under dagen har ökat och att äldre ungdomar är stillasittande största delen av sin skoldag, även om vi kan se en viss ökning av fysisk aktivitet utanför skoltid. Inaktiviteten är lika hög på helgerna, vilket sammantaget gör att färre ungdomar når upp till rekommendationerna om fysisk aktivitet. Insatser för att främja fysisk aktivitet i skolan verkar oftare leda till ökad rörelse, jämfört med om insatserna pågår utanför skoltiden, vilket betyder att skolan har en viktig roll i detta arbete. Andelen barn (4–12 år) som dagligen vistas i grönområden har minskat betydligt över en 10-årsperiod. Jämfört med för tio år sedan vistas barn idag mer sporadiskt i grönområden. Den övergripande majoriteten av barn och unga uppger ett gott psykiskt välbefinnande och det har inte varit några större förändringar över tid. Samtidigt ökar självrapporteringen av psykiska besvär och skolstress. En oroväckande tendens är att andelen barn med nedstämdhet eller sömnbesvär i Sverige nu är bland de högsta i Europa. Det råder stora könsskillnader när det gäller hälsa. Flickor rapporterar genomgående fler hälsobesvär än pojkar, större krav i skolan och lägre skoltrivsel. De äter frukost mer sällan och rör på sig mindre. Rapporteringen av psykiska besvär och skolstress/krav i skolan har ökat i jämförbar takt sedan 2010. En högre upplevelse av krav i skolklassen bidrar till fler hälsobesvär bland elever som grupp. Stress till följd av skolrelaterade krav tenderar således att spridas bland klasskamrater och framför allt flickor upplever en ökad stress genom att de pratar med varandra om pressen att lyckas i skolan. Skolkrav har ett negativt samband med livstillfredsställelse, vilket innebär att ju högre skolkrav, desto lägre livstillfredsställelse. Samtidigt har forskning också visat att studiemotivation bland klasskamrater är kopplat till färre hälsobesvär på elevnivå, även om man själv inte upplever studiemotivation. Detta tyder på att lärmiljön och skolkamraternas påverkan på hälsan är viktig. Enligt stora internationella studier har förekomsten av psykiatriska tillstånd i form av neuropsykiatriska funktionsnedsättningar så som ADHD och autism varit relativt oförändrad över tid. Samtidigt ser man att andelen barn och unga som diagnostiseras med ADHD och autism i vården ökar. Denna diskrepans återstår att förklara. Barn vars vårdnadshavare är födda i Sverige rapporterar ett bättre hälsotillstånd än barn med utrikes födda vårdnadshavare. Däremot rapporterar barn med svensk bakgrund högre förekomst av psykiska besvär jämfört med barn med utländsk bakgrund. Det finns också tendenser som visar att elever med utländsk bakgrund rapporter ännu färre psykiska besvär när andelen elever med utländsk bakgrund i klassen är högre. Denna diskrepans behöver undersökas närmare.

Abstract:
Mohammed Yahya is an entrepreneur engaged in the production and sale of essential oils. Getting his enterprise established was not easy. However, things improved when he started receiving support from Youth Participation and Employment (YPE) programme partner the Local Initiative and Development Forum (FIDEL). FIDEL was instrumental in facilitating business grants and business development support. With this more focused approach, Mohammed managed to register his business, participated in national fairs, and opened new market segments. He successfully graduated from the informal labour market to the self-employed category. The training he received from FIDEL helped him to increase the sale of his products. In the future, he hopes to explore the international market and reduce his imports of raw materials by growing ingredients locally.
