Corruption in public procurement: Can e-procurement and artificial intelligence make a difference in Africa?
Authors: Elhassan Gadour Mutasim Mohamed
Published: April 2024

Corruption is a challenge that hinders countries’ development. The huge spending on public procurement, particularly on capital projects, makes it highly prone to corruption. The conventional paper-based procurement process has been linked to inefficiency and corruption in procurement practices. Given the expanding role of technology in an increasingly interconnected world, many leading experts suggest that technology can be a powerful tool to reduce opportunities for corruption in public procurement. In the past three decades, the use of technology, including electronic procurement (e-procurement) and artificial intelligence (AI), in public procurement has globally gained popularity. However, currently, technology in public procurement is not widely used in the African continent. This paper's main hypothesis is that technology can have an impact on reducing corruption in public procurement in Africa, with a particular emphasis on the prospects and challenges for technology adoption in Ghana and South Africa. The paper analyzes the types of initiatives that helped technology implementation in other countries and the utility of adopting such mechanisms in the context of the subject countries under review. The study investigates the critical success factors for adopting technology in public procurement activities in Ghana and South Africa using qualitative data analysis and mixed theories. This paper aims to assist public procurement practitioners, government entities, and funding organizations in a better understanding of the technology role, including public e-procurement and AI, in their efforts to minimize the scourge of corruption in public procurement.

Published: April 2024

The Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) telah menjadi pandemi global yang tidak hanya menyebabkan infeksi dan kematian, tetapi juga menimbulkan kekacauan ekonomi global. Angka kemiskinan mengalami kenaikan yang tidak hanya dirasakan di Indonesia saja namun hampir di seluruh penjuru dunia. Akibatnya kegiatan mengemis banyak dijadikan sebagai pilihan dalam mencukupi kebutuhan masyarakat miskin. Tulisan ini akan memotret penguatan perilaku kreatif melalui bimbingan lanjut bagi keluarga pengemis di tengah pandemi covid-19 khususnya di wilayah Kabupaten Banyumas. Berbagai cara telah dilakukan pemerintah dalam mengurangi angka pengemis di Indonesia. Model-model penanganan yang diterapkan seperti model preventif, represif, rehabilitatif, dan bimbingan lanjut dirasa masih kurang dalam aplikasi sehingga para pengemis yang terjaring kerap berhenti pada fase tertentu dan masih ada yang kembali ke kebiasaan mengemisnya. Bimbingan lanjut dalam penanganan pengemis menjadi penentu agar pengemis tidak kembali ke jalan. Bimbingan lanjut yang erat kaitannya dengan penguatan perilaku kreatif merupakan sarana edukatif yang bisa merubah pola hidup para pengemis. Maka dari itu pemerintah perlu menekankan fase bimbingan lanjut tersebut agar keluarga pengemis dapan menopang kebutuhan mereka dengan kreatifitas yang didapat dari bimbingan dan pelatihan yang mereka dapatkan secara continue.

Los agregados para concreto vienen agotándose día a día, por ello se analiza nuevas fuentes de materia prima para el concreto. En esta investigación se emplearon los agregados reciclados con el fin de usarlos en la industria del premezclado. El concreto premezclado debe cumplir requisitos como: slump inicial, mantenimiento de la trabajabilidad superior a 2 horas, tiempo de fragua, f’c a los 28 dias, etc. Como conclusión de la investigación se tuvo que los agregados reciclados no pueden ser empleados en un 100% del diseño de mezcla, sino que deben emplearse en porcentajes de reemplazo parciales de hasta 50%, así mismo es imprescindible el uso de aditivos especializados base polímeros para contrarrestar el efecto altamente absorbente de los agregados reciclados.
El control de convencionalidad en el ámbito del poder ejecutivo y el acto administrativo inconvencional como efecto.
Authors: Monge Natalia Leonor
Published: April 2024

Este trabajo se centra en la identificación, descripción y análisis de las construcciones argumentales elaboradas por la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos en torno al control de convencionalidad. Entre otros aspectos, se analizará el desarrollo que de esta práctica y sus notas distintivas realiza el Tribunal desde el año 2012 al 2020.
El tema se enmarca en el control de convencionalidad aplicado por el Poder Ejecutivo en el ejercicio de la función administrativa; pero, centralmente, pretende visibilizar el acto administrativo inconvencional como efecto.
Como problema, se advierte que el control de convencionalidad en contadas ocasiones constituye una práctica diaria en la interpretación del derecho doméstico en el ámbito del referido poder público. En efecto, una de las causas que envuelve a esta problemática obedece a que los casos son resueltos al amparo de la Constitución y de la ley, pero se pasa por alto que el principio de juridicidad en sede administrativa se ve ampliado a partir de la jerarquización de los tratados internacionales de derechos humanos.

Published: April 2024

The temperatures imposed on the blades of the first stages of turbines are generally very high; these expose the latter to harmful thermal effects, pushing manufacturers to continually improve techniques for cooling the blades. It is true that by increasing the temperature of the gases at the inlet of the turbines, we increase the efficiency, the performance of the machines, and we improve the power and fuel consumption with a significant reduction in polluting gases. Thus, the current general trend among manufacturers is to design machines that operate at increasingly high inlet temperatures. This has led, therefore, to the constant search for new materials with high thermal resistance and to constantly improve cooling techniques. This task is conditioned by a good and deep understanding of the phenomenon of heat transfer in turbine blades. This study examines the three dimension numerical simulation of the flow and heat exchange inside an internal cooling channel of a gas turbine blade with the profile of NACA 4412. This channel plays an important role in increasing heat exchange between the cooling air and the walls of the blade. In the turbulent regime, we have investigated the cooling of a profile blade NACA 4412 using forced convection (V = 200, 250, 300, 350, and 400 m / s). determined that the value of the cold air's speed increases with the intensity of the secondary flow inside the morning. Results found that, The flow dynamics and kinematics of fluid particles alter significantly when the cooling air speed is increased, and the cooling level is enhanced.

Published: April 2024

Background: Qizhi Weitong (QZWT) granules are a compound preparation of Chinese medicine, which are approved by theChina Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of functional dyspepsia (FD) and have been used in clinical practice fordecades. The objective of this study is to evaluate whether QZWT granules can alleviate gastric hypersensitivity by improvinglow-grade inflammation and the mucosal barrier in the duodenum in a functional dyspepsia-like (FD-like) model in rats.Methods: FD-like gastric hypersensitivity in adulthood was induced by iodoacetamide (IA) in neonatal rats. Thirty-twoSprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly classified into the control, model, QZWT, and Mosapride groups. Further, 0.2 mLof 0.1% iodoacetamide and 2.0% sucrose administrated by oral gavage was used to establish the FD-like rats model (oncea day, for six consecutive days). Electromyography (EMG) was used to evaluate the visceral motor response to gastricdilation. After treatment, the fluorescein isothiocyanate-glucan (FITC-glucan) test was performed to evaluate duodenalpermeability; enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) were used toevaluate the pro-inflammatory cytokines for duodenal epithelial cells and the tight junction (TJ) proteins of the duodenalmucosa. Results: The EMG score was elevated in the model group compared to the control group, but it decreased afterQZWT intervention; no changes were observed between the Mosapride and model groups. Compared with the controlgroup, rats in the gastric hypersensitivity model group showed a higher expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosisfactor-α (TNF-α) and lower expression of zona occludens protein 1 (ZO-1), occludin, and desmosome (DSG2) of junctionproteins (P < 0.05); while in the QZWT group, the expression of IL-6 and TNF-α was reduced (P < 0.01), and the expressionof ZO-1, occludin, and DSG2 was increased compared to the model group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: QZWT granulesalleviate visceral hypersensitivity in an FD-like model in rats by inhibiting inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α andregulating junction proteins.

Authors: Kalburgi Ashish P , Kshirsagar Nitin
Published: April 2024

Introduction: Preterm labour follows a spontaneous commencement of labour in two-thirds of preterm birth instances. Obstetricians must consider both treatment options for the management of preterm. The study was conducted to compare the tocolytic effects of oral nifedipine tablets and transdermal nitroglycerine patches in preterm labor.

Methodology: Cases with Singleton pregnancy, Pregnancy between 28 weeks to 36 completed weeks, and without contraindication for tocolysis were included in the study. Randomly assigned Nifedipine group received oral nifedipine (Tab Depin 10mg) and NTG group received transdermal nitroglycerine patch (Nitroderm 10). Progress was assessed for effect of drug for tocolysis.

Results: Both groups were comparable in terms of demographic variable, vital measures, bishop score and cervical dilatation at the time of reporting. Comparison of mean prolongation duration according to gestational age in both the study groups indicate that overall duration of prolongation was better in oral nifedipine. However, the differences were not statistically significant. Headache and hypotension were significantly higher in Nitroglycerine patch compared to oral nifedipine group. The treatment discontinuation was significantly higher in Nitroglycerine patch compared to oral Nifedipine.

Conclusion: Tocolytic effect of both, oral nifedipine and Nitroglycerine patch was statistically almost similar. However, considering the feasibility of application, availability, and cost of the drug, we recommend to use oral nifedipine for tocolysis over Nitroglycerine patch.
