Do Institutions Make Street‐Level Bureaucrats Prosocial? Agent‐Based Evidence Shows That New Public Management Does Not

open access: yesEuropean Policy Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Does street‐level bureaucrats' (SLBs) willingness to sacrifice their own self‐interests to meet the needs of their clients vary depending on their contexts? To date, it has been very challenging to empirically examine how SLBs who have different orientations toward social values might act in different institutional and administrative contexts.

Blocked and “Unblocked” Learning: Structural Factors That Impede and Enable Evidence‐Informed Policymaking

open access: yesEuropean Policy Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article addresses a critical issue in evidence‐informed policymaking: the challenge of translating knowledge into policy outputs amidst the complex interplay between research and politics. It discusses the concept of “blocked learning,” where individual‐level learning fails to scale up to organizational and policy levels, thus impeding ...

Winning Legitimacy and Dodging Blame: How Government Communication Shapes Media Sentiments and Responsibility Attribution in Consensus Democracies

open access: yesEuropean Policy Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How do governments' discursive credit‐claiming and blame‐deflection strategies shape perceived policy legitimacy in times of crisis? Despite the importance of legitimacy in conflictual times, systematic analyses of officeholders' credit‐claiming and blame‐deflection strategies and their effect on perceived legitimacy are still rare.

Nonlinear Response‐History Analyses of Masonry and Mixed Structures With HybriDFEM

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The hybrid discrete‐finite element (HybriDFEM) method, previously developed to perform static and modal analysis in discrete and coupled discrete‐finite element models, is extended to nonlinear response‐history analyses. The equations of motion for the HybriDFEM model are solved through various numerical time‐integration schemes, both explicit

Generalised Kinematic Single‐Impact and Multi‐Impact Models for Rocking Structures

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rocking motion is fundamental in earthquake engineering, as it reflects the dynamic behaviour of many structural systems. However, simulating the impacts during rocking motion remains a challenging topic, as they occur in a very short time, generate high impulsive forces, cause sudden changes in velocities and result in rapid energy losses.

Deprivation and Accidental Dwelling Fires in the Greater Manchester Area Between 2013–2014 and 2023–2024

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this article, the relationship between the level of deprivation, measured by the Indices of Multiple Deprivation decile (IMD decile) determined by the UK Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, and the number of different types of accidental dwelling fires (ADFs) in populations across the different IMD deciles is examined ...
