Summary: The way policymakers and academics organize and visualize core ideas has an impact on how they define and perceive problems, as well as generate policy solutions. This paper explores how three organizations conceptualize the 'productivity puzzle' and suggests that they might be oversimplifying its roots. The authors encourage adopting a systems lens and thinking critically about structuring future research on productivity.

Summary: This scoping review explored the ways emergency women's shelters address substance use issues with survivors of intimate partner violence. The review found that there are more barriers and fewer facilitators to implementing harm reduction in women's shelters. Comprehensive training and education for staff and residents are suggested for successful implementation. More high-quality evidence is needed to understand the viability of harm reduction in these shelters.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between career choice motivation and turnover intention in social work practice in China. The findings suggest that internal motivation reduces turnover intention, while external motivation increases it. Job self-efficacy and job satisfaction mediate this relationship. Therefore, social work agencies should screen practitioners with internal motivation and enhance their job self-efficacy and job satisfaction.

Summary: Communication plays a critical role in nonprofit fundraising, promoting trust, accountability, and mutual understanding. However, there has been limited research on ethical fundraising communication, with less focus on beneficiaries and fundraisers compared to donors. The emergence of new media, particularly social media, has diversified research in this field.

Summary: This article contributes to the literature on (post-)exceptionalism by analyzing and explaining the development of the monitoring and evaluation arrangement in the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The study finds that while policy ideas on monitoring and evaluation have been integrated into the CAP, they are limited by the existing institutions and interests of the broader CAP arrangement.

Summary: Traditional command-and-control regulatory design plays a significant role in market regulation, but alternative regulatory tools have emerged in recent years, potentially impacting citizens' trust in firms. However, if trust in the regulator is high, the introduction of alternative regulatory tools does not decrease trust in the regulated firms.

Summary: This study focuses on the dynamic relationship between public opinion and immigration policy, arguing that citizens have policy preferences and the demand responds when immigration policy changes. By using surveys and algorithms, comparable immigration opinion measures were designed for 13 countries. The study found evidence of both public and policy responsiveness for immigration, although not to the same extent.

Summary: This paper argues that a more nuanced definition of policy is needed to better understand policy dynamics in the field of migration, and uses Italian reception policy as a case study to examine the drivers of change and stability in asylum policy regimes. The study also suggests that applying a micro-level analysis can uncover the agent-based mechanisms of policy entrenchment.

Summary: The 2019 European Parliament elections saw significant gains for Green parties across EU member states. The relevance of "green issue voting" depended on the national electoral context, with smaller Green parties owning the environmental issue. The study combined survey data and party positions to analyze the conditional dependence of "green issue voting" in the elections.

Summary: This study examines the impact of Freedom of Information (FOI) laws on bureaucratic hiring in Brazil. Findings show that municipalities with FOI regulations have significant reductions in discretionary patronage-based appointments, reducing both political control and electoral rewards hires. The study suggests that the effects are influenced by the sequencing of FOI adoption, with leaders initially viewing FOI as a supplement to administrative control and later reducing lower-level hires as FOI becomes more institutionalized.

Summary: Competition theories suggest that political parties emphasize different issues, but empirical studies find overlap in their issue emphasis. This paper argues that the severity of problems affects parties' attention to issues, with severe problems leading to a unified focus across parties. This has positive implications for parties' responsiveness to societal problems.
