Technical Analysis Using 100 Percent Palm Kernel Shell as Fuel in Circulation Fluidized Bed Boiler Type
Authors: Masrajuddin  , Sudiarto Budi , Setiabudy Rudy
Published: July 2024

Energy is a basic human need that has increased in use. Given the limited energy resources, it is necessary to manage energy appropriately and efficiently. Energy efficiency not only has an impact on reducing production costs, but also on reducing emissions. As a concrete step to support the government's net zero emission program by 2060, the company is trying to use alternative biomass fuels, namely: palm kernel shell. The purpose of this study is to conduct a technical and economic analysis of the use of 100 percent palm kernel shells as fuel in a circulation fluidized bed boiler type power plant. This research was conducted at power plant unit 2 of PT XYZ, located in Cilegon, Banten Province. The parameters measured are limited to boiler efficiency, thermal efficiency, and heat rate. The results showed that when using palm kernel shells, boiler efficiency decreased 0.47 percent, thermal efficiency decreased 0.24 percent, and heat rate increased 22 kcal/kWh or 0.76 percent. By considering of three operational parameters (boiler efficiency, thermal efficiency, and heat rate) it can be concluded that technically the use of 100 percent palm kernel shells as fuel in the plant is feasible. There is no major impact on boiler performance regarding the transition of coal to palm kernel shells. The impact of long-term use of palm kernel shells on equipment is beyond the scope of this research.

Authors: Warih Gamal Fiqih Handono , Jufri Fauzan Hanif , Samual Muhammad Gillfran , Hudaya Chairul
Published: July 2024

The readiness of fast response power plants, such as Combined-Cycle Power Plant (CCCP), following a blackout in the power system shall be maintained to preserve the availability of the supply. Hence, blackout recovery scenario is usually prepared and considered as one of the measures to achieve the system readiness after blackout. This study presents a techno-economic comparative analysis between two blackout recovery methods, namely via line charging and internal cross-supply, in CCCP Priok, Indonesia. It analyzes the historical data of the relationship of the active power contribution to the frequency, and then obtains the appropriate settings for the power plant parameters. From the technical perspective, the gain value or participation factor of this plant is 49 MW/Hz with 6% droop setting and 0.029 Hz of deadband frequency. It is found that a load set point lower than 2.49 MW can lead to grid synchronization failure since there are self-consumption loads on each gas turbine. Moreover, to prevent the risk of reverse power and to achieve a successful internal cross-supply scenario, the minimum load setting shall be adjusted to 3 MW. Meanwhile, from an economic perspective, the results show that a successful internal cross-supply method may save up to IDR 2.7 billion compared with line charging method.

Published: July 2024

Introduction: Telemedicine has become a fundamental pillar of the evolution of healthcare worldwide. In Tunisia, the challenges of the health system, amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic, have highlighted the urgency to adopt innovative solutions. In this regard, the publication of Presidential Decree No. 318/2022 on April 8 in the Official Journal of the Tunisian Republic represents a significant advance in the regulation of telemedicine.
Aim: To assess the knowledge of Tunisian psychiatrists and child psychiatrists regarding telemedicine, its legal framework, and their perceptions of this new medical practice.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted 8 months after the issuance of the presidential decree. The survey was conducted online through an electronic questionnaire on Google Forms.
Results: A total of 68 participants were included in this survey. The median number of professional years was 5±7 years. Among the participants, 82% worked in psychiatry and 18% worked in child psychiatry. The sector of practice was public in 69% and private in 31% of cases. Most of them (62%) did not know about the different telemedicine acts, and 57% of doctors were unaware of the existence of the presidential decree. The majority of doctors (84%) expressed a favorable opinion regarding the adoption of telepsychiatry, regardless of sex (p=0.69), professional status (p=0.512), specialty (p=1), years of experience (p=0.83), and practice sector (p=1).
Conclusion: Despite a low level of knowledge regarding telemedicine, the study highlights the interest of the participants in integrating telepsychiatry into their clinical practices.

Published: July 2024

Introduction:
Adjustment disorder (AD) is a common psychiatric diagnosis, but it is often considered less severe than other diagnoses. However, it is strongly associated with suicidal behavior.
Aim:
To identify the factors linked to suicidal behavior in patients hospitalized for AD.Methods:This is a retrospective, descriptive, and analytical study conducted in the psychiatric department of Mahdia’s hospital over a period of nine years. The study included patients who were hospitalized for the first time due to adjustment disorder, according to DSM-5 diagnostic criteria.Results: The study population included 129 patients. AD was prevalent among young (median age 29 years) and female patients (75.2%). Almost half of the cases were single (48.1%) and having a history of suicidal behavior (48.3%). Sixty patients (46.5%) were hospitalized following a suicidal attempt (SA) and drugs were used as a way in half of the cases (50%). Conflicts were the dominant factor precipitating the SA in 88.3% of cases. Factors linked to suicidal behavior in patients with AD were being in an intimate relationship and the presence of family conflicts. Indeed, the risk of suicidal behavior was found to be increased by 3.15 times in patients with AD who experienced family conflicts. Besides, being in an intimate relationship in patients with AD multiplies the risk of suicidal behavior by 5.863.
Conclusions: Given the high risk of suicide associated with AD, it is essential to have a more in-depth understanding of the suicidal process and AD through new studies.

Authors: Gabriela Mendes Lima Paula
Published: July 2024

Este texto é uma sugestão de definição do termo violência política contra a mulher a partir da perspectiva da filosofia política. Nomear esse fenômeno e conceituá-lo nessa perspectiva parece fundamental para dar visibilidade a essa forma de manifestação de violência e para elucidá-lo como um dispositivo a partir da qual sistemas jurídicos e políticos devem ser instigados a se movimentarem para a criação de novas estruturas. Propõe-se pensar a violência política contra a mulher como a manifestaçãode uma antropologia da mulher e como processo resultante da linguagem e estrutura de dominação masculina nos atuais modelos de espaços públicos.

Lateral-Torsional Buckling Modification Factors in Steel I-Shaped Members: Recommendations Using Energy-Based Formulations
Authors: Nayak Namita , Anilkumar P.M. , Subramanian Lakshmi
Published: July 2024

Lateral torsional buckling (LTB) is of concern in long-span flexural members, particularly in the negative flexure regions of continuous-span, steel I-shaped members and during construction. While the elastic critical LTB capacity of a simply supported I-shaped member subjected to uniform moment has a closed-form solution, most LTB modification factors for beams subjected to moment gradients in the literature are empirical and work well only for specific loading and boundary conditions. This paper investigates the suitability of the different LTB modification factors in literature and design specifications for various loading and boundary conditions, accomplished via comparisons with analytical solutions using the Rayleigh-Ritz method and numerical solutions from finite element analyses. The analytical LTB modification factors are derived for doubly symmetric I-shaped members with different combinations of ideal flexural and torsional boundary conditions (simply supported and fixed) and subjected to different loading scenarios. The validity of the LTB modification factors determined using the Rayleigh-Ritz method and other formulae in the literature are also assessed for realistic intermediate restraint conditions, which are neither fully pinned nor fixed, by examining laterally continuous beams. Demonstrating that current design specifications for elastic critical LTB modifications are overly conservative

Opinión pública y políticas públicas: la sensibilidad de los ciudadanos y la receptividad de los gobiernos en España
Authors: Cicuéndez Santamaría Ruth
Published: July 2024

The congruence between social preferences and government policies has become an essential aspect of the representative democracies and the State-society relations. Based on this premise, this article explores the interaction between public opinion and public policy in Spain during the last two decades, through the empirical analysis of the relationship between citizens’ preferences public spending and spending policies. Specifically, it is studied the effect of public opinion on government decisions about the allocation of public spending in eight key policies, as well as the influence of these decisions on social demands. The article aims to answer two questions: 1) Are governments responsive to society’s preferences and are citizens sensitive to government decisions? 2) Is the level of responsiveness different depending on the public policy? The results indicate that the political decisions on spending are moderately affected by social preferences, while government actions have a limited influence on citizen demands. Moreover, the analysis shows that prior to the Great Recession of 2008, a significant level of consistency between public opinion and policy had been achieved, which was considerably reduced during the crisis. Finally, it was found that the degree of responsiveness varies significantly from one policy to another and that it is higher in welfare policies, except for the unemployment protection program.
Los efectos de la pandemia en el federalismo mexicano y en la redefinición del papel de los gobiernos locales
Authors: Carrera Hernández Ady Patricia
Published: July 2024

The pandemic affecting the global community since the early 2020, has had deep repercussions. Most of the world’s governments have been unable to manage the problem successfully, while subnational governments have tried to meet the immediate demands of their communities facing the crisis. The responses have been as diverse as the results, but it is possible to distinguish important coincidences in the Latin American federations. Among them is the ineffectiveness of intergovernmental coordination mechanisms to generate a well-organized response. In this situation, subnational governments have taken actions that have trespassed on the powers of the national government or even ignored its dispositions. In the case of Mexico, is compounded by the economic stagnation that existed prior to the pandemic, as well as an important political current, coming from various state governments, which had been demanding a revision of the federal arrangement in the face of the intensification of the recentralization process adopted by the current federal administration. This paper analyses the way in which all these factors have affected local management and the implications this has for the country’s development.

Authors: Mejía Álvaro , Uribe André , Florentino Fabrizzio , Vásquez Rafael , Moscoso Julio , Acosta Juan
Published: July 2024

El objetivo de la investigación es analizar la relación existente entre desempeño y ejercicio de la corrupción en la construcción de la Carretera Interoceánica Sur, Tramos II y III, que conecta Perú con Brasil. Como metodología se utiliza la revisión bibliográfica y el estudio de caso. En la literatura seleccionada se hace énfasis en la relación de los factores de riesgo en los megaproyectos de infraestructura y las características genéricas que definen los actos de corrupción. Por otro lado, el estudio de caso utiliza los criterios de fracaso de Merrow para el desarrollo de megaproyectos de construcción. Asimismo, se examina si las exportaciones por la carretera contribuyen significativamente al comercio entre Perú y Brasil. Los resultados sugieren que tanto el proyecto como el contexto mostraron múltiples factores de riesgo durante el diseño, concepción y ejecución, relacionados con el fracaso del proyecto en el criterio de sobrecostos. Mientras tanto, el aumento del tráfico de exportación por la carretera no ha sido significativo y probablemente haya sido causado por factores externos que limitan el éxito del megaproyecto.
Obediencia debida a órdenes ilegítimas: estudio de caso de peculado en Ecuador y Colombia
Authors: Ponce Andrade Ana Lucía , Villagómez Cabezas Richard , Piedrahita Bustamante Pedro
Published: July 2024

This paper analyzes due obedience in the crime of embezzlement in two cases of Ecuadorian and Colombian jurisprudence, from the perspective of criminal law, public administration and social psychology. The qualitative approach and the multiple case study technique with three propositions are used. It is shown that the superior’s deviation when issuing an order entails an ethical and legal dilemma for the subordinate official, who must analyze the content of the order because his decision has criminal consequences that lead to embezzlement. It is concluded that the lack of questioning of the officials against the orders received from their superiors configures the presumption of legality in such orders or the implementation of a common criminal objective between the superior and the subordinate.
Las agencias de gobierno en Uruguay: características y autonomía de la administración descentralizada
Authors: Freigedo Martín , Fuentes Guillermo , Milanesi Alejandro , Ramos Conrado , Ruiz Díaz Matías
Published: July 2024

The creation of agencies has become a popular trend in the world and in Latin America since the New Public Management reforms. Agencies are organizations with greater levels of autonomy from the center of government, which gives them, in theory, greater independence from political fluctuations while they are capable of being more efficient in the quality and management of their services. This article presents the application in Uruguay of the COBRA (Comparative Public Organization Data Base for Research and Analysis – network) project methodology for characterizing and measuring the levels of autonomy of decentralized public sector agencies. Based on the application of a questionnaire to qualified informants, the study analyzes 56 decentralized entities in Uruguay from 2015 to 2020. Among its main results, it shows that there are no significant differences in terms of autonomy in policy definition or resource management between entities governed by public law and those of non-state type. It also highlights that the largest decentralized entities, both those dedicated to the provision of public welfare services and those of a commercial nature, continue to operate predominantly within the framework of public law and enjoy significant levels of autonomy with respect to the center of government. On the other hand, despite their steady growth, the creation of agencies in Uruguay (or smaller administrative structures governed by or with similar characteristics to those of private law) does not evidence a search for greater managerial autonomy with respect to the organizational formats typical of public law. These institutional formats reflect a pattern of State functioning built on partisan control, negotiations and political co-participation, rather than a logic focused on efficiency or management improvements.

An important change in Chilean education in the last decade has been the incorporation of accountability policies and mechanisms, such as the Education Quality Assurance System, the Preferential School Subsidy Law (SEP) and the New Public Education for educational improvement. These prevailing policies are made up of a set of strategic projects belonging to the Ministry of Education, whose purpose is to comprehensively and systemically strengthen the quality of education provided in the country’s schools. In order to know what happens in schools in terms of policy implementation and accountability mechanisms, the objective is to analyze these mechanisms, identifying the main difficulties and tensions reported by the research carried out within the framework of public policy in which educational management is evaluated. In order to achieve this objective, a documentary study was carried out with a systematic descriptive review of research and technical documents published between 2000 and 2020, with emphasis on the concepts of quality, accountability and school management. A deductive content analysis was applied to the 28 articles and documents selected, which describe the tensions and difficulties brought about by accountability policies in Chilean schools. The product of this research clearly identified that the installation of the accountability model, on the one hand, implies a pressure on schools focused on improving their results in terms of goals and deadlines and, on the other hand, reveals the challenge of leadership in decision-making between what is urgent and what is important to achieve these goals. Finally, this quality assurance system, which is framed in an accountability paradigm, mainly from the performative and professional models, brings with it high consequences for schools, where external agencies define the standards of educational efficiency and effectiveness.
La prolongada crisis sociopolítica chilena: análisis e interpretaciones 1997-2020
Authors: Penaglia Vásquez Francesco Emmanuel
Published: July 2024

This paper undertakes a theoretical review of the main interpretations made by the social and human sciences on the Chilean popular revolt of 2019-2020 and its antecedents framed in a prolonged sociopolitical crisis. To this end, the paper is structured in four sections. First, a contextual characterization of the popular revolt is carried out, placing it as an exceptional phenomenon in recent history. Second, a review of early analyzes (1997-2005) is presented, in which the literature begins to account for social tensions and problems. Third, a review of the analyzes framed in the appearance of social conflict in Chile in the period 2011-2018 is performed to, finally, identify the readings specifically focused on the 2019-2020 revolt. The research was based on the review of 135 books, essays, academic articles and reports, in addition to a score of press releases and reports. From this, a grouping process was conducted around the central theses presented by the authors. This work allows us to identify three aspects: 1) the central nodes of analytical proposals on the phenomenon in each period, 2) the analytical continuities and discontinuities between periods, and 3) the central nodes of the current debate. This proposal combines the presentation of interpretations, together with the characterization of events and antecedents that allow the contextual framing of the discussions.
La variable política en la institucionalización de las redes sociales en la Administración. El caso de la comunicación ministerial en España
Authors: Cortés Abad Óscar
Published: July 2024

Technology is a key factor in the modernization of the State. Social networks, one of the most recent technologies, have spread in the Administration and have been a subject of study by an academia that has pointed out the importance of their institutionalization to achieve a successful technological adoption. This paper contributes to this debate, focusing on the political variable and how it affects institutionalization. For this purpose, we have chosen institutional communication, one of the various recognized uses of social technologies in institutions, a specific field such as the Spanish state administration, and a mixed research technique that includes both a descriptive and a quantitative analysis. The results clarify how the political variable significantly influences both on the decision to have social channels and their daily use and managament structure. Thus, the political factor is a barrier that weakens institutionalization, limiting the role of public employees, politically biasing the contents generated by institutional channels and giving rise to contingent management structures. The document offers a series of recommendations and some possible lines of research for further explore how the political factor affects the adoption of these technologies.
Caracterización del mandato de los directivos públicos en Ecuador. Una aproximación a su gestión desde los ciclos de desempeño y aprendizaje
Authors: Jara Iñiguez Irma , Cevallos Gabriel
Published: July 2024

This article aims to identify the characteristics of the mandate of public sector managers in Ecuador. For this purpose, an exploratory and descriptive study is carried out based on the manager´s life cycle approach, which shows an inverted U-shaped relationship between tenure and performance. A survey is used as a data collection instrument in which subordinates are consulted regarding the performance of managers. This was applied to 52 public servants, experts in the subject, who collaborate in 33 public administration institutions. The analysis addresses the management of the authorities by differentiating their time in office, which is categorized as: less than 1 year, between 1 and 3 years, between 3 and 5 years and more than 5 years. As a result, their mandate is characterized from aspects related to their commitment, knowledge of the task, diversity of information used, interest in the task and power. It is evident that for managers at political-administrative levels, similar characteristics to the stages described are observed, such as response to the mandate and experimentation in periods between one and five years.
Inteligencia artificial y planeación presupuestaria en México: promesas y retos en América Latina para la asignación del gasto público

Public budgeting is a complex process that depends on multiple factors, including the consideration of scarce resources and the quality of available information. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to discover models that help explain complex social phenomena, such as the budget planning. However, currently there is little work exploring the application of AI in this context. This paper aims to propose an algorithmic perspective for the allocation of public budget in Mexico by exploring the potential of multilayer perceptron and multi-objective genetic algorithms. The guiding research question is: what is the potential of the multilayer perceptron and multi-objective genetic algorithms in decision making regarding the allocation of the Mexican public budget? The study analyzes open data from the World Bank related to Mexico’s expenditure budget and poverty measurement data provided by the National Council for the Evaluation of Social Development Policy for the period 1990-2020. Additionally, some limitations of this work derived from the inherent complexity of the public expenditure allocation are identified. The model showed indicators that allow us to understand the importance Mexican public budget expenditures in promoting economic development, as well as potentially reducing inflation and inequality. From the analysis, based on AI techniques, it was found that the most important aspects to generate an effective and efficient public budget should focus mainly on fighting poverty, investing in the agricultural sector, encouraging industry, generating policies for the improvement of the health sector, as well as promoting research and development.
