Authors: Rahmah Alifia Taufika , Baroroh Fatimatul , Mauludi Rafid , Arief Armai , Asy'ari Hasyim
Published: July 2023

Improving the quality of madrasas is often constrained by the low competitiveness of human resources. Even so, several madrasas seem capable of optimizing their resources so that they can become outstanding madrasas. The purpose of this research is to describe how madrasah efforts or strategies to optimize the development and empowerment of their human resources lead to outstanding madrasas. The research was conducted at MTsN 31 Jakarta. The subjects of this study were school administrative staff, teachers, principals and vice principals. The research uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques namely observation, interviews and documentation. Through three steps of data analysis: data reduction; display data; and conclusion drawing, the results showed that there were five efforts made by madrasas: (1) training for teachers and school administrative staff; (2) optimization of supervision activities; (3) encouraging the active role of teachers in competency development and career development; (4) increasing the competence of madrasah leaders; (5) deliberation culture and building participatory atmosphere. this finding has implications for madrasa managers to pay attention to these five key factors to be implemented if they expect achievement in madrasas.

Authors: Nurmala Ira , Sari Jayanti Dian Eka , Dewi Desak Made Sintha Kurnia , Devi Yuli Puspita
Published: July 2023

Latar belakang: Salah satu permasalahan anak di Banyuwangi adalah kekerasan seksual pada anak. Kekerasan seksual pada anak merupakan masalah yang vital karena dapat mengganggu perkembangan anak khususnya psikis anak. Banyuwangi Children Center (BCC) didirikan pada Mei 2016 bertugas untuk merespon dan menangani berbagai kasus kekerasan pada anak melalui tim terpadu.

Tujuan: Untuk menganalisis kesiapan Banyuwangi Children Center dalam upaya menurunkan kekerasan seksual pada anak di Banyuwangi.

Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif melalui wawancara mendalam pada 7 informan.

Hasil: Kesiapan BCC dalam mencegah kekerasan seksual pada anak meliputi tiga aspek yaitu organizational factor, program yang dijalankan, dan sumber daya manusia (SDM). Kendala yang dihadapi BCC adalah banyaknya undang-undang yang diambil dalam visi organisasi sehingga tidak ada monitoring dan evaluasi yang jelas. Keterbatasan SDM dan program yang dijalankan menyebabkan masyarakat Banyuwangi kurang mengetahui tentang peran BCC.

Kesimpulan: Kesiapan BCC dalam mencegah kekerasan seksual pada anak masih memiliki kendala dan keterbatasan. Oleh karena itu perlu adanya rencana strategis program berkelanjutan BCC dari stakeholder yang melibatkan masyarakat secara terstruktur agar dapat mencegah kekerasan seksual pada anak secara efektif.

Authors: Nur Alam Fajar  , Indah Yuliana  , Razak Rahmatillah
Published: July 2023

Latar belakang: Angka kematian anak menjadi salah satu indikator penting dalam menilai derajat kesehatan masyarakat suatu negara. Secara global 2.4 juta anak meninggal pada bulan pertama kehidupannya. Salah satu penyebab kematian neonatal yang tinggi adalah riwayat berat badan lahir rendah (BBLR) dan pemeriksaan kehamilan. Berdasarkan data nasional kasus tersebut masih tergolong tinggi di beberapa wilayah di Indonesia termasuk di Provinsi Sumatera Selatan.

Tujuan: Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk memberikan gambaran spasial tentang kasus kematian neonatal dan variabel BBLR serta antenatal care di Sumatera Selatan pada tahun 2019.

Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan studi deskriptif dengan mengumpulkan data sekunder dari laporan Dinas Kesehatan Provinsi Sumatera Selatan tahun 2019 yang terdiri dari variabel kasus kematian neonatal serta faktor penyebabnya dan berat badan lahir rendah (BBLR) serta antenatal care. Analisis yang dilakukan adalah spasial dengan menggunakan QGIS (Geographic Information Systems) dengan melakukan visualisasi peta dan analisis korelasi.

Hasil: Kasus kematian neonatal di Provinsi Sumatera selatan telah berada dibawah target nasional namun masih ada beberapa wilayah yang perlu mendapat perhatian, utamanya daerah yang masih cukup tinggi kasusnya yaitu diatas rata-rata kasus kematian neonatal provinsi. Faktor penyebab tertinggi kematian neonatal disebabkan oleh berat badan lahir rendah (BBLR).

Kesimpulan: Tidak ada hubungan yang signifikan pada variabel BBLR dan antenatal care terhadap korelasinya dengan kematian neonatal, namun meskipun demikian pada semua variabel memperlihatkan arah korelasi sesuai dengan teori tentang beberapa faktor penyebab kasus kematian neonatal.

Distribution of Bamboo Witches’ Broom Disease in Various Bamboo Species in the Philippines and Molecular Identification of 'Candidatus Phytoplasma luffae'-related Strain 16SrVIII
Authors: Dolores Lolita , Langres Joanne , Cortaga Cris , Caasi-Lit Merdelyn
Published: July 2023

Bamboo is used for making structures, furniture, handicrafts, and ropes, as well as a source of food in the Philippines. One of the emerging diseases of bamboo in the country is the bamboo witches’ broom (BWB), which has been occasionally noted in three genera of bamboo – including Dendrocalamus, Gigantochloa, and Schizostachyum from various provinces in the Philippines (Ilocos Norte, Laguna, Batangas, Quezon, Agusan del Sur, Bukidnon, and South Cotabato) since the 1990s. However, studies and information about BWB in the country remain lacking and largely unexplored. In this study, we report a similar disease affecting Dendrocalamus and Gigantochloa bamboo species from Bohol and Davao and – for the first time – in Dendrocalamus merrillianus ("bayog") and Bambusa spinosa ("kawayan-tinik") from Isabela and Nueva Vizcaya. As a result of the surveys conducted from 1999–2019, the disease is now identified in six species across four genera of bamboo – namely, Gigantochloa spp. (G. levis and G. atter), Dendrocalamus spp. (D. asper and D. merrillianus), Schizostachyum lumampao, and Bambusa spinosa recorded in 11 provinces in the Philippines. The BWB symptoms include clustering of leaves forming a rosette-like structure, leaf proliferation, excessive limb formation from a single node, and shortening of internodes. Nested PCR using the universal primers P1/P7 and R16MF2/R1 targeting the phytoplasma 16S ribosomal RNA gene revealed positive amplification in five symptomatic BWB samples from Isabela, Philippines. Subsequent sequencing (~ 1.3kbp) and phylogenetic analysis using the representative BWB isolates from Isabela revealed > 98.65% genetic similarity and clustering to Candidatus Phytoplasma luffae, which belongs to the 16SrVIII group (Loofah Witches’ Broom Group). This paper determined the distribution of BWB in different species of bamboo in the Philippines, as well as the association of 'Ca. Phytoplasma luffae'-related strain (16SrVIII) to BWB.
Introduction
Authors: Chandler Oliver
Published: July 2023

While the history of the formation of a modern British guitar repertoire around the central figure of Julian Bream is known in broad brushstrokes, we lack a thoroughgoing, technical understanding of the particular idiom that Bream’s composers developed. Important in the nascent stages of the guitar’s modernist evolution, for example, was its relationship to twelve-tone serialism. Through close readings of individual works by Reginald Smith Brindle (El polifemo de oro, 1956), Denis ApIvor (Variations, 1958), Thomas Wilson (Three Pieces, 1961; Soliloquy, 1969), and Richard Rodney Bennett (Impromptus, 1968; Sonata, 1983), I map the formation of a peculiarly British vein of dodecaphony. To varying extents, these composers adapted or rejected the techniques, systems, and/or aesthetics of the Second Viennese and Darmstadt schools in order to arrive at a more moderate compositional approach. But despite this common cause, their approaches to composing dodecaphonically on the guitar differed substantially: ApIvor and Bennett attempted to build their twelve-tone materials around the guitar’s affordances; Smith Brindle and Wilson saved idiomatic sonorities and playing techniques for moments in which twelve-tone logic was to be purposefully overridden. By exploring the foregoing ideas and themes analytically, I attempt to demonstrate, in as musical a way as possible, how some of the most pressing compositional questions of the mid-twentieth century—Is twelve-tone serialism the only way forward? Is musical tradition dead in the water?—were responded to by composers crucial to the guitar’s modernist legacy.
Multiplicity of solutions for a generalized Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation with potential in R^2
Authors: Xie Zheng , Chen Jing
Published: July 2023

In this article, we study the generalized Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation witha potential $$ (-u_{xx}+D_{x}^{-2}u_{yy}+V(\varepsilon x,\varepsilon y)u-f(u))_{x}=0\quad \text{in }\mathbb{R}^2, $$ where \(D_{x}^{-2}h(x,y)=\int_{-\infty }^{x}\int_{-\infty }^{t}h(s,y)\,ds\,dt \), \(f\) is a nonlinearity, \(\varepsilon\) is a small positive parameter, and the potential \(V\) satisfies a local condition. We prove the existence of nontrivial solitary waves for the modified problem by applying penalization techniques. The relationship between the number of positive solutions and the topology of the set where \(V\) attains its minimum is obtained by using Ljusternik-Schnirelmann theory. With the help of Moser's iteration method, we verify that the solutions of the modified problem are indeed solutions of the original  roblem for \(\varepsilon>0\) small enough.

The problem of linear programming is a linear problem to determine the magnitude of the value of each variable so that the value of the objective function or objective can be optimum, namely by maximizing or minimizing. To solve linear programming problems, a mixed method can be used, namely a method that combines two methods at once, namely the elimination method and the substitution method. The elimination method is a method that eliminates variables by adding or subtracting two equations that have the same coefficient. While the substitution method is the replacement of a variable with a variable from another equation.

ROLES OF ISLAMIC SHARIAH SCHOLARS IN THE HALAL ASSURANCE SYSTEM
Authors: Abdul Salam Sadath
Published: July 2023

Muslims across the globe adhere to the shariah principles and Islamic shariah scholars are an authority over the Quran and the Hadith. At present, the biggest challenge is decision making in adoption of products with unknown ingredients, undefined process from the scratch up to the point of consumption, and choosing between classical and modern data base. The progress in bio-technology and material science gave birth to synthetic material with unknown ingredients. This brought great concern regarding halalan thayyiban which covers food as well as non-food industry. This research intends to focus only on food industry. As halal (permissible) and thayyib (wholesome) are purely religious concerns, so the industry has to depend on Islamic shariah scholars. They play pivotal role in decision making and in giving shariah verdict on raw material and ingredients in the product. This has been traditionally accepted as the bond of trust and their participation accounts for a greater role so as to strengthen HAS with customer satisfaction. This paper discusses the challenges in engaging, empowering and employing more qualified and competent scholars with knowledge of modern science in order to distribute roles at different levels of HAS. Qualitative method through interviews, and feedback loop was the main instrumental tool for data collection and analysis. A conceptual model is framed and it is found that Islamic Shariah scholars are the main thrust in HAS process so as to build the trust but there is a need of their training with latest technology in order to monitor, evaluate the process and documentation, thus, bridging the gap between traditional and modern data base.

Selective Gap Analysis of the Escape Hatch in the Umbrella Trap with Six Doors for the Blue Swimming Crab (Portunus pelagicus)
Authors: Randi  , Marimba Andi Assir , Palo Mahfud
Published: July 2023

The blue swimming crab fishermen in Teluk Makassar, Lantebung Village tend to exploit the blue swimming crab resources without considering Sustainable Fisheries and environmental sustainability by using non-environmentally friendly fishing gear. The innovation of constructing a trap with an escape hatch is expected to provide an opportunity for undersized blue swimming crabs (carapace width < 10 cm) to escape from the trap through the escape hatch. This research aims to determine the selectivity and effectiveness of using the escape hatch to allow blue swimming crabs to escape in the waters of Teluk Makassar, Lantebung Village. The research was conducted for two months, from November to December 2022. Blue swimming crab samples were collected from foldable traps and dragon traps used by the fishermen, and the crabs were collected while still alive. The experimental method was employed, with four treatments and 21 replications. Based on the estimation of the selection ogive and the selectivity ogive curve, it can be concluded that the selectivity of the 3.5x4 escape hatch is more effective in allowing blue swimming crabs with carapace width below 10 cm to escape compared to other escape hatch sizes, thus avoiding the capture of immature or maturing crabs with mature gonads.

Mussel‐Derived Bioadaptive Artificial Tendon Facilitates the Cell Proliferation and Tenogenesis to Promote Tendon Functional Reconstruction
Authors: Wang Xiaoyan , Xu Kaige , Mu Lan , Zhang Xiaoqi , Huang Guangtao , Xing Malcolm , Li Zhibin , Wu Jun
Published: July 2023

Tendon injuries range from acute‐related trauma to chronic‐related injuries are prevalent and bring substantial pain, functional loss, and even disability to the patients. The management of tendon injuries is tricky due to the innate limited regenerative capability of the tendon. Currently, surgical intervention of tendon injuries with artificial tendons remains the standard of care. However, most of artificial tendons are manufactured with synthetic materials, which possess relatively poor biomimetic characteristics and inadequate inherent biodegradability, hence rendering limited cell proliferation and migration for tendon healing. To address these limitations, this work develops a mussel‐derived artificial tendon based on double‐cross‐linked chitosan modification. In this design, decellularized artificial tendon serves as a natural biomimetic scaffold to facilitate the migration and adhesion of tendon repair cells. Additionally, as the cells proliferate, the artificial tendon can be degraded to facilitate tendon regeneration. Moreover, the chitosan cross‐linking further enhances the mechanical strength of artificial tendon and offers a controllable degradation. The in vitro and in vivo experimental results demonstrate that mussel‐derived artificial tendon not only accelerate the tendon functional reconstruction but also enable harmless clearance at postimplantation. The finding provides a promising alternative to conventional artificial tendons and spurs a new frontier to explore nature‐derived artificial tendons.
Redox Triggers Guest Release and Uptake Across a Series of Azopyridine‐Based Metal–Organic Capsules
Authors: Zheng Jieyu , Yang Yuchong , Ronson Tanya K. , Wood Daniel M. , Nitschke Jonathan R.
Published: July 2023

Precise control over guest release and recapture using external stimuli is a valuable goal, potentially enabling new modes of chemical purification. Including redox moieties within the ligand cores of molecular capsules to trigger the release and uptake of guests has proved effective, but this technique is limited to certain capsules and guests. Herein, the construction of a series of novel metal–organic capsules from ditopic, tritopic, and tetratopic ligands is demonstrated, all of which contain redox‐active azo groups coordinated to FeII centers. Compared to their iminopyridine‐based analogs, this new class of azopyridine‐based capsules possesses larger cavities, capable of encapsulating more voluminous guests. Upon reduction of the capsules, their guests are released and may then be re‐encapsulated when the capsules are regenerated by oxidation. Since the redox centers are on the ligand arms, they are modular and can be attached to a variety of ligand cores to afford varying and predictable architectures. This method thus shows promise as a generalized approach for designing redox‐controlled guest release and uptake systems.
High‐consistency silicone rubber with reduced Young's modulus. An industrial option to dielectric silicone rubber
Authors: Rius‐Bartra Joaquim Mª , Ferrer‐Serrano Norma , Agulló Núria , Borrós Salvador
Published: July 2023

Flexible capacitive sensors based on silicone rubber have gained importance in both academic and industrial fields due to their advantages, including low power consumption and high stability to temperature, and humidity. However, pristine silicone rubber has a low dielectric constant (), requiring the use of dielectric additives such as TiO2, BaTiO3, or Sb2O3‐doped SnO2rutile‐modified particles (ATO) to enhance electrical properties, but they also increase Young's modulus (E). To overcome this problem, liquid silicone rubbers (LSR) are commonly used in academic research due to their low E, but they often compromise mechanical integrity. In contrast, high‐consistency silicone rubbers (HCR), the industry commodity, maintain mechanical integrity even at high filler loadings but are limited in their use in dielectrics due to high E values. This paper explores the potential of vinyl‐terminated HCR for developing dielectric composites with high electromechanical response, with an improved and a reduced E while retaining mechanical and processability properties. The resulting dielectric HCR formulations exhibit optimal properties for developing flexible capacitive sensors using well‐established industrial products and processes.
Transforming consumption: The role of values, beliefs, and norms in promoting four types of sustainable behavior
Authors: Onel Naz
Published: July 2023

This study examines the value based predicting factors of sustainable consumption (SC) behaviors of individuals by examining four types of environmentally significant consumer behavior, that is, purchase, household energy and water usage, mobility, and recycling. A structured questionnaire‐based survey was used to collect data and verify the research framework guiding the hypotheses for all four types of consumer behavior. Four separate Structural Equation Models (SEM) were utilized to test the formulated hypotheses and model using the data from 1025 respondents (281 for purchase, 265 for household energy and water use, 273 for mobility, and 206 for recycling) ages 18–74. The results indicate that the extended version of value‐belief‐norm (VBN) theory could provide a good explanation of the sustainable purchase behaviors of consumers, compared to household energy and water usage, mobility, and recycling. The results of the study suggest that having high levels of biospheric values, ecological worldview, personal norms, behavioral intention, awareness of consequences, ascription of responsibility, and low egoistic values have influence on consumers when they make eco‐friendly product purchases. Although similar results are found for other examined behaviors, the model fits are not as strong and explanatory powers are lower. This research reveals that marketing managers need to adopt differential marketing strategies to influence consumer sustainable decision‐making in the four environmentally significant behaviors of purchase, energy and water usage, mobility, and recycling. This paper concludes with policy implications of the findings for marketers and policymakers, as well as potential directions for further research.

The present study shows the chemical profile, antimicrobial, antiproliferative, and apoptotic effects of Stemodia viscosa extracts. Thirteen bioactive compounds were identified in the 80 % ethanolic extract by GC/MS analysis. The acetone extract exhibited a higher content of flavonoids and phenols of 805.10 μg QE/mg DW and 89.31 μg GAE/mg DW extracts, respectively. Furthermore, the acetone extract possessed the highest antioxidant activity (IC50=9.96 μg/mL). The 80 % ethanolic extract exhibited significant antimicrobial activity; the highest activity was observed against Staphylococcus aureus with a zone of inhibition of 25±0.51 mm, MIC value of 4 mg/mL, and MBC value of 8 mg/mL. The antiproliferative results revealed the presence of anticancer activity with an IC50=91.562 and 74.362 μg/mL against the B16F10 skin and COLO205 colon cancer cells, respectively. The flow cytometric analysis shows that the plant extracts cause cancer cell death through the induction of apoptosis. Our findings confirmed that Stemodia viscosa is a potential source of biologically active compounds.
First‐principles Screening of Transition‐Metal Doped FeS2 As Sulfur Cathode Host for Sulfur Redox Chemistry

Published: July 2023

The sulfur cathode host Fe1‐xMxS2 (M=transition‐metal; x=0, 0.125, and 0.25) for the sulfur redox chemistry is essential to facilitate the fast charge‐discharge kinetics of lithium‐sulfur‐batteries (LSBs). Applying first‐principles calculations, the formation energy, conductivity, work function, charge redistribution, chemical adsorption, and catalytic performance of Fe1‐xMxS2 are systematically investigated. Ti/V‐doped FeS2 has low lattice distortion and formation energy, and facilitates the Li+ diffusion due to charge redistribution. Chemical adsorption for polysulfides (LiPSs) is closely related to d‐band center of Fe1‐xMxS2. Li2S's activation begins with the transfer of electrons from the electron‐rich metal center to the empty orbitals of Li2S. Gibbs free energy change of Li2S4 to Li2S determines the catalytic efficiency. Li2S deposition and decomposition affects the redox kinetics of sulfur. Ti/V‐doped FeS2 has superior conductivity, chemical adsorption, and has low thermodynamic barrier of Li2S deposition. Li2S decomposition tends to occur on Fe0.875Ti0.125S2(001) surface. In general, Ti/V‐doped FeS2, as the host material of the sulfur cathode, is more beneficial to the cycle performance of LSBs. The electrochemical properties of sulfur cathode host materials can be controlled by doping, and can be manipulated and optimized in a certain range through electronic structure and chemical composition design in LSBs.
Improving the textural and microstructural quality of cow meat by black chokeberry, grape, and hawthorn vinegar‐based marination
Authors: Unal Kubra , Babaoğlu Ali Samet , Karakaya Mustafa
Published: July 2023

This study was designed to investigate the effects of vinegar‐based marinades on pH, technological properties, color, microstructure, texture, and sensory characteristics of 9‐year‐old Holstein meat which had tough texture. To marinate the Longissimus lumborum steaks, three different marinades were prepared depending on the different additions of vinegar: black chokeberry (BV), grape (GV), and hawthorn vinegars (HV). The group with water (without vinegar) was prepared as a control sample (C). The steak samples were dipped into the vinegar‐based marinades and stored at 4°C for 24 h. Vinegar‐based marinades decreased the pH and cooking loss of the samples (p < .05). The highest a* values were determined in the BV group, while the samples marinated with vinegar‐based marinades had lower L* values than the control group (p < .05). The samples marinated with grape vinegar marinade had the lowest hardness, WBSF, and WBSE values (p < .05). SEM images and sensory analysis results also supported these texture results. The results suggest that grape vinegar‐based marinade may be a promising natural tenderizer to improve textural characteristics of tough meats.
Increasing capitation in mixed remuneration schemes: Effects on service provision and process quality of care

Published: July 2023

Many health systems apply mixed remuneration schemes for general practitioners, but little is known about the effects on service provision of changing the relative mix of fee for services and capitation. We apply difference‐in‐differences analyses to evaluate a reform that effectively reversed the mix between fee for services and capitation from 80/20 to 20/80 for patients with type 2 diabetes. Our results show reductions in provision of both the contact services that became capitated and in other non‐capitated (still‐billable) services. Reduced provision also occurred for guideline‐recommended process quality services. We find that the effects are mainly driven by patients with co‐morbidities and by general practitioners with high income, relatively many diabetes patients, and solo practitioners. Thus, increasing capitation in a mixed remuneration schemes appears to reduce service provision for patients with type 2 diabetes monitored in general practice with a risk of unwanted quality effects.
Implementing Cognitive Work Analysis to Support Early Phases of Sociotechnical System Development
Authors: Heever Henk van den , Oosthuizen Dr Rudolph
Published: July 2023

Systems engineering (SE) is applied to bring about complex systems, such as sociotechnical systems (STS), based on stakeholder requirements. Introducing new technology into an existing STS may result in unexpected emergent behaviour when prevailing processes, procedures and information flows are challenged. Due to the complexity associated with emergence, the resultant system may fail to achieve the desired utility fully, or the work system produced may not be desirable. Cognitive work analysis (CWA) provides a framework for analyzing, modelling, and designing STS. This study proposes applying CWA modelling to requirement analysis for new technology introduction as part of a validation workflow in aid of SE. Work domain analysis (WDA), the first step in the CWA framework, is applied to a test case, and the resultant abstraction hierarchy (AH) models are analyzed to evaluate the perceived utility. This article shows how analysts were able to apply the method and uncover possible design emergence. We hope that the methods presented herein will aid more designers in applying CWA as part of the SE life‐cycle toward successfully implementing complex STS.
Advanced Statistical Methods in Spacecraft Flight Software Cost Estimation: Bayesian Regression and Nonlinear Principal Components Analysis to Support System Engineering in the Early Project Lifecycle
Authors: Fleischer Samuel R. , Hihn Jairus M. , Johnson James K.
Published: July 2023

This paper provides an overview of the new features and model updates in the upcoming release of the NASA Analogy Software Cost Tool (ASCoT). ASCoT, hosted within the Online NASA Space Estimation Tools (ONSET) on the One NASA Cost Engineering (ONCE) Database, is a web‐based tool that provides a suite of estimation tools to support early lifecycle NASA flight software cost analysis. In addition to the traditional parametric flight software costing method CO‐COMO II, ASCoT contains a Bayesian linear regression to predict total flight software development cost as a function of total spacecraft cost, as well as four analogic methods:k‐Nearest Neighbors (kNN) and Clustering models to predict Effort (in work‐months) and total source lines of code (SLOC). These methods are designed to work primarily with system‐level inputs such as mission type (orbiter, lander, etc.), mission destination (Earth, Inner Planetary, etc.), and the number of instruments and deployables. Nonlinear principal components analysis (NLPCA) is performed to find the principal features of the data composed of both categorical and numerical variables and is necessary prior to defining our analogic methods. Sensitivity analyses and in‐ and out‐of‐sample model performance results are presented for the Bayesian CER and the analogic models.
Tilting at Windmills: Drivers, Risk, Opportunity, Resilience and the 2021 Texas Electricity Grid Failure
Authors: Hause Matthew , Kihlstrom Lars‐Olof
Published: July 2023

To put it very simply, but not at all clearly, the 2021 Texas electricity grid failure was both caused by and not caused by the use of renewable energy. In 2020, 46 percent of Texas's energy was generated by natural gas, coal 18 percent, nuclear 11 percent, and renewables wind power 23 percent, and solar 2 percent. During the winter months when power demand is lowest, renewables can rise to up to 55%. When the historic winter storms hit, the biggest problem was the lack of winterization of all types of generation systems and supporting infrastructure. All the of the systems failed to various degrees. So why weren't these systems winterized? Mostly it was a lack of incentives. The government provided no financial incentives and did not mandate winterization. These winter storms were once in a century event, and companies could not make a business case with reasonable ROI to winterize. Companies that did manage to operate sold power and gas for up to 400% more than normal due to the lack of supply and increased demand. So, there was a built‐in disincentive to not invest. What happened was a complex system of systems failure the size and scale of Texas and to explain it all would require a book. This paper will look at the risks, opportunities, and drivers of Texas electric grid, what caused it to fail, and incentives to succeed in the future. We will also examine incentive systems gone wrong such as the Cobra Effect.
