VARIANTS OF QIRA'AT AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON ISTINBATH OF LAW
Authors: Husain Saddam , Wahyuni Andi Eki
Published: June 2024

Penelitian ini mengkaji variasi qira'at dan pengaruhnya terhadap tenetapan hukum Islam. Qira'at merupakan ragam bacaan Al-Qur'an, dengan berbagai aliran pemikiran dan tradisi dalam pembacaan teks suci yang berbeda. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Data yang diperlukan diperoleh melalui metode library research, yaitu penelitian berdasarkan literatur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa qira’at merujuk pada variasi bacaan yang dibacakan oleh para imam qurra’, baik yang berjumlah tujuh (qira’at sab’ah), sepuluh (qira’at asyara),  maupun empat belas (qira’at arbah asyar), dan lainnya. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa perbedaan dalam qira’at memiliki implikasi terhadap proses istinbath (pengambilan keputusan hukum). Perbedaan tersebut memberikan alternatif bagi umat Islam untuk menjalankan agama dengan lebih beragam dan sesuai dengan tuntutan situasi dan kondisi.

Published: July 2024

Introduction : La maladie rénale chronique (MRC) stade 5 est une pathologie fréquente, l’augmentation de son incidence et de sa prévalence a été constatée à l’échelle mondiale. En Algérie, vu que peu d’études ont été réalisées sur l’épidémiologie de la maladie rénale chronique, l’ampleur réelle de son incidence dans le Sud algérien demeure inconnue.
Objectif: Déterminer l’incidence en 2017 de la maladie rénale chronique stade 5 traitée par suppléance rénale dans le Sud-est algérien.
Méthode : Au cours de notre étude régionale multicentrique, longitudinale prospective, tous les cas incidents de MRC stade 5 résidants et traités dans la région par suppléance rénale ont été recrutés du 1er janvier 2017 au 31 décembre 2017.  
Résultats : L’incidence brute de la MRC stade 5 traitée en 2017 dans le Sud-est algérien était de 75 pmh. Le taux d’incidence standardisé à l’âge était de 100 pmh, avec une prédominance masculine, un sexe-ratio M/F de 1,59.  L’âge moyen des cas incidents était de 48,50 ± 19,12 ans. L’incidence varie par tranche d’âge et par wilaya. Le diabète (26,7 %) et les néphropathies hypertensives (22,6 %) représentent près de la moitié des cas et les glomérulonéphrites primitives à 5,9 %.
Conclusion : La MRC stade 5 traitée, par son incidence élevée en Algérie, avec de grandes variations géographiques, représente un enjeu majeur de santé publique. Elle touche principalement les jeunes. Le diabète et l’hypertension artérielle représentent les deux principales causes, incitant à faire porter l’effort de la prévention ..

Authors: Antit Saoussen , Abdelhedi Marwa , Fekih Ridha , Bahri Khalil , Boussabeh Elhem , Zakhama Lilia
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) have a high incidence of Left ventricle diastolic dysfunction (DD). Latest algorithms for the assessment of DD lay on 2D parameters and describe a grading to quantify its severity. However, there persists a “gray zone” of values in which DD remains indeterminate.
Aim:  to analyze the diagnostic value of Left atrium strain (LAS) for categorization of LV DD and assessment of LV filling pressures in ACS patients.
Methods:  Cross-sectional study that prospectively evaluated 105 patients presenting ACS with preserved LV ejection fraction (LVEF). Patients were divided in 4 groups according to the DD grade.
Mean values of LAS, corresponding to three phases of atrial function: reservoir (LASr), conduit (LAScd) and contraction (LASct), were obtained by speckle-tracking echocardiography.
Results:  Mean age was 60±10 years, with a gender ratio of 6.14. LASr and LASct were significantly lower according to DD severity (p combined=0.021, p combined=0.034; respectively). E/e’ ratio was negatively correlated to LASr (r= - 0.251; p= 0.022) and LASct (r= -0.197; p=0.077). Left atrial volume index (LAVI) was also negatively correlated to LASr (r= -0.294, p= 0.006) and LASct (r= -0.3049, p=0.005). Peak tricuspid regurgitation was negatively correlated to LASr (r=-0.323, p=0.017) and LASct (r=-0.319, p=0.020). ...( abstract truncated at 250 words)

Introduction : Le diagnostic du syndrome de Sjögren(SS) peut être difficile chez le sujet âgé chez qui le syndrome sec peut être en rapport avec la sénescence, les comorbidités ou d'origine médicamenteuse.
Méthodes : étude rétrospective des dossiers des patients atteints de SS (AECG 2002) menée au service de médecine interne la Rabta sur18 ans. Les caractéristiques épidémiologiques, clinico-biologiques et thérapeutiques des adultes jeunes (AJ) et sujets âgés (SA) étaient comparées.
Résultats : Un total de 323 atteints de SS étaient colligés, 35 étaient âgés de plus de 65 ans (33 femmes/deux hommes). L’âge moyen au début de la maladie était de 68,8±4,4 ans. La comparaison des deux groupes a objectivé un délai au diagnostic plus court chez le SA (p=0.02). La fatigue était plus fréquente chez les SA (p<0,01). La positivité des anti-SSA était plus fréquente chez les AJ (p=0,04). La prescription des anti-paludéens de synthèse était moins fréquente chez les SA (p=0,03). Il n’y avait pas de différence statistiquement significative concernant la fréquence des autres manifestations cliniques, biologiques, ou du profil thérapeutique.
Conclusion : Le profil du SS chez le SA ne semble pas différer selon l’âge. Toutefois, les particularités de la personne âgée doivent être prises en considération dans la prise en charge et le suivi.

Published: July 2024

Corporate environmental values and corporate environmental culture are intrinsically linked, and both are critical to the success of sustainability initiatives in an organization. The objective of this research is to analyze the relationship between corporate environmental values, corporate environmental culture and corporate sustainability and their influence on the conservation and protection of the environment. Methodologically, the research was developed applying a theoretical, documentary-type approach, using the inductive method. For its development, content analysis was used as a technique, which made it possible to find the relationships of the categories studied that allowed the theoretical construction to be carried out. The results show that values drive environmental culture and environmental culture reinforces values by promoting behaviors and decisions consistent with those values. Both categories work together to promote sustainability and environmental responsibility within an organization and when managed effectively and mutually reinforcing can have a significant positive impact on the environment and the long-term success of the company. It concludes by pointing out that to achieve business sustainability, it is important to promote values and develop environmental culture in companies.

Des conceptions de l’École inclusive à celles de la formation aux pratiques inclusives. Risques, tensions, perspectives
Authors: Pelgrims Greta , Delorme Coralie
Published: July 2024

Bien qu’il soit souvent déclaré que l’École inclusive relève d’un « paradigme interactionniste », la littérature fait émerger différentes conceptions guidant la recherche, les pratiques et la formation des enseignants pourtant toutes au service d’un projet commun d’École pour tous. Cette contribution vise à montrer combien les présupposés sous-jacents aux conceptions structuralistes, interactionnistes ou encore axiologiques de l’École inclusive orientent différemment l’actualisation de tâches d’enseignement et, en corolaire, l’identité et la formation professionnelles d’enseignants spécialisés aux pratiques inclusives. À cet effet, elle expose les présupposés des différentes approches, leurs implications respectives pour l’École inclusive tout en soulignant les risques et tensions qui émanent de leur indifférenciation et de leurs imbrications. Elle ouvre ensuite sur des perspectives pour la formation visant la transformation de pratiques et le développement de compétences d’enseignement inclusif.

La Loi n° 2019-791 du 26 juillet 2019 pour une École de la Confiance dispose de la création des pôles inclusifs d’accompagnement localisés (PIAL) et des accompagnant. e. s des élèves en situation de handicap référents (AESH-Réf.) et donc d’une nouvelle légitimation organisationnelle pour répondre à un impératif d’accessibilité français (Ebersold, 2021). Mais la fonction d’AESH-Réf. suscite de nombreuses interrogations, car la plupart des travaux académiques (Toullec-Théry et Nédélec-Trohel, 2010 ; Belmont et al., 2011, Nédelec-Trohel et al., 2012 ; Toullec-Théry, 2013 ; Maraquin, 2017) montrent préalablement une difficile intégration des AESH dans la communauté éducative. Comment dès lors accompagner cette professionnalité émergente (Jorro et De Ketele, 2011 ; Jorro, 2011) ? Notre recherche, à partir du cadre de la théorie anthropologique du didactique (Chevallard, 1999) et d’un dispositif de recherche en formation, contribue au développement praxéologique de ces nouvelles personnes ressources.

Effects of Climate Change on Animal Production
Authors: Jawhar safi Sher Ali , Mehmet Akif ÇAM  , Emal Habibi  , Ömer Faruk YILMAZ
Published: June 2024

This paper examines the impact of global warming on animal production worldwide. The accumulation of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere is causing changes in extreme weather patterns and consequent climate variations, substantially affecting crop and animal production. Climate change is altering the meadows and pastures that serve as the primary feed sources for animal husbandry, leading to production losses and threatening the sustainability of this sector. A holistic approach is proposed to mitigate the adverse effects of heat stress on animal production. This involves identifying gene regions resistant to heat stress through breeding studies, improving the physical environment by modifying diets, and enhancing the genetic resilience of animals to climate change. Understanding the adaptation mechanisms of these genes will be crucial for future selection programs, enabling breeding animals better suited to the emerging environments resulting from climate change. Selection and breeding of climate-tolerant animals that can survive and reproduce under extreme conditions will ensure their contribution to future generations. Furthermore, responsible practices throughout the production and consumption chain are necessary to preserve a habitable environment for upcoming generations. The solution lies in a multi-pronged strategy that combines genetic research, environmental improvements, responsible practices, and sustainable animal husbandry to combat the challenges posed by global warming and ensure the long-term viability of animal production.
The Effect of Melatonin on Essential Oil Production in Mentha Spicata
Authors: Ayoubi Rabia , Singh Gyanesh , Pandey Devendra Kumar
Published: June 2024

Mentha Spicata (spearmint), an herbaceous perennial aromatic plant, is the most common herb in tropical and subtropical countries. The essential oil (EO) of Mentha spicata is a valuable source of antioxidants in nutraceuticals and cosmetic industries. In-vitro culturing of Mentha Spicata was done via the micro-propagation technique, and exogenous Mel was used as a plant growth regulator. The field trials involved the plant’s foliar spray of different concentrations of Mel at various time points. The EO of leaves of control and Mel-treated plants (S1-S6) was steam-distilled using a Clavenger-type apparatus. The UV, FTIR, and GC analyses of the EO of control and S1-S6 were recorded. The antioxidant capacity of the EO of control and S1-S6 was measured using a DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) assay. The nodal explants of Mentha Spicata showed different responses to the shoot proliferation process in the presence of exogenous Mel. The EO yield percentage of control and S1-S6 were in the range of 0.92±0.05% and 0.74±0.03%-0.39±0.04%%, respectively. The UV, FTIR, and GC spectra of the EO of control and S1-S6 presented different numbers of peaks and compounds in the selected range. The EO of control and Mel-treated plants could reduce the free radical DPPH to DPPHH with varying values of IC50. Melatonin could regulate the plant’s growth and development, change the EO yield, improve the EO’s phytochemical profile qualitatively, and enhance the free-radical scavenging capacity of the plant’s EO in a concentration and time-dependent mode. So, it may act as a promising molecule to increase aromatic crop yield with the desired quality.

Published: July 2024

The results of fundamental research carried out at the Department of Electromechanics of KPI named after Igor Sikorsky, it was established that the structural organization and evolution of arbitrary classes of technical systems that function on the principles of electromechanical energy conversion is determined by the principles and laws of genetically organized systems. Motor-spindles (M-Ш) also belong to the category of such systems. The energy and genetic core of technical systems with electromechanical energy converters is the active zone of the energy converter, which is a physical and information carrier of genetic information and the corresponding genetic code. The trend of creating multi-coordinate motor-spindle units with a spatially adaptive structure, designed to function as part of metalworking centers and machines with digital control systems, is analyzed. In genetically organized systems, the processes of structuring objects of any level of complexity are implemented on the basis of the elemental information base of genetic programs using genetic synthesis operators. From the point of view of the theory of genetic structure formation, spatial adaptation is the result of chromosomal transformations using the principles of hybridization, mutation, replication, and isomerism. The problem of synthesizing a hybrid multifunctional EM structure for motor-spindle units with a spatially adaptive modular structure was formulated and solved. A generalized genetic model of chromosomal synthesis of hybrid electromechanical modules of motor-spindle units according to a given function has been developed. The structural formulas of hybrid electromagnetic chromosomes, which determine the population structure of original technical solutions, have been determined. Based on the simulation results, the structures of spatially adaptive motor-spindle units with two-, three-, and four-coordinate movement of the working body were synthesized. Based on the results of the research, a genetic catalog was created, which serves as a system basis for the development of original technical solutions for motor-spindle units.

Tensile Coupon Testing and Residual Stress Measurements of High-Strength Steel Built-Up I-Shaped Sections
Authors: Stall Kara , Culhane Andrea , Sun Likun , Chicchi Cross Rachel , Steiner Matthew
Published: July 2024

High strength structural steels (with yield stresses greater than 65 ksi) may have notably different material characteristics when compared to structural steels conventionally used in building construction [i.e., ASTM A992/A992M (2022) or A572/A572M Gr. 50 (2021)]. This paper presents findings from an experimental program that investigated the material characterization of ASTM A656/A656M Gr. 80 (2024) plate steel. The results obtained were compared to conventional ASTM A572/A572M Gr. 50 steel. Two types of testing were performed for this work: tensile coupon testing and residual stress testing. The tensile coupon testing was carried out for both the A656/A656M Gr. 80 and A572/A572M Gr. 50 plate material. The A656/A656M Gr. 80 plate material showed more variation between the two different plate thicknesses in both mechanical behavior and microstructure due to differences in steel production. The 0.375 in. thick plate exhibited a clear yield plateau with an ultimate/yield stress ratio similar to the Gr. 50 material. In contrast, the 0.5 in. plate did not have a yield plateau and reached lower ultimate strain. The residual stress testing was performed using a sectioning technique for one A572/A572M Gr. 50 and five A656/A656M Gr. 80 built-up sections that were fabricated from 0.5 in. and 0.375 in. plate material. Residual stresses obtained from measurements were compared to previously published predictive models. The ECCS model and BSK99 models were found to be reasonable predictors of residual stresses for all specimens except the one section fabricated from 0.5 in. thick Gr. 80 plate. When comparing the Gr. 50 and Gr. 80 specimens of the same cross-sectional geometry, the residual stresses were similar, implying that cross-sectional geometry is more prevalent than the nominal yield stress in determining residual stresses in built-up I-sections.

Published: July 2024

The role of stakeholders affect the implemented programme such as member participation and the impact of the role. This research used qualitative approach with descriptive method. The research method applied in this descriptive approach was a case study. The determination of informants was carried out by purposive sampling with key informants and snowball sampling techniques, a total of 12 informants. Data validity used triangulation as a method to validate the data. The results showed that the development of Gapoktan Sidomakmur in the food security programme involved five main roles of stakeholders. These roles included policy-making by the Bojonegoro District DKPP and Purwosari Village Government as policy makers, coordination by the Gapoktan chairperson and farmer groups as coordinators, and facilitator roles by BPP, PPLs, Village Facilitators, and Purwosari Village Government. Programme implementation involved members of Gapoktan, farmer groups, and the Purwosari Village Government as implementers, as well as the role of accelerators by the Purwosari District Government, PPLs, and Village Facilitators. Although cooperation between stakeholders in the development of Gapoktan Sidomakmur in Purwosari Village is quite good, not all stakeholders are fully involved in carrying out their roles, which was evident from the lack of maximum support for Gapoktan Sidomakmur’s programmes.
A Joint Equivalence and Difference (JED) Test for Practical Use in Controlled Trials
Authors: Riffenburgh Robert H. , Wang Lingge
Published: July 2024

A joint equivalence and difference (JED) test is needed because difference tests and equivalence (more exactly, similarity) tests each provide only a one-sided answer. The concept and underlying theory have appeared numerous times, noted and discussed here, but never in a form usable in workaday statistical applications. This work provides such a form as a straightforward simple test with a step-by-step guide and possible interpretations and formulas. For initial treatment, it restricts attention to a t test of two means. The guide is illustrated by a numerical example from the field of orthopedics. To assess the quality of the JED test, its sensitivity and specificity are examined for test outcomes depending on error risk α, total sample size, sub-sample size ratio, and variability ratio. These results are shown in tables. Interpretations are discussed. It is concluded that the test exhibits high power and effect size and that only quite small samples show any effect on the power or effect size of the JED test by commonly seen values of any of the parameters. Data for the example and computer codes for using the JED test are accessible through links to supplementary material. We recommend that this work be extended to other test forms and multivariate forms.

Authors: Johnson Klinger , Prais Jacqueline Lidiane de Souza , Aguiar Fabiano Sales de
Published: July 2024

As primeiras tentativas de organizar propostas de formação profissional no campo começaram em meados do século XIX, com a formação de oligarquias agrícolas e depois o surgimento de cidades, que passaram a aceitar novos colonos e a necessidade de formar pessoas para a agricultura. Assim, buscou-se a formação para o exercício das atividades comerciais. Ao longo do século XX, desde a escola de aprendizagem, a formação profissional desenvolveu-se numa dualidade estrutural, servindo preferencialmente as classes trabalhadoras e desfavorecidas.

Authors: Nagdaparan Mariel , Nagdaparan Jomary
Published: June 2024

This quantitative, descriptive-correlational study was conducted among 50 completely enumerated teachers handling the modular learning of pupils in the public elementary schools of Arakan North District, Cotabato, Philippines. It utilized weighted mean, Pearson r, and multiple regression to analyze their commitment level; their pupils’ performance level; and the relationship and influence of teachers’ commitment on the pupils’ performance, respectively. The results revealed a significantly high relationship between the delivery of learning materials and pupils’ performance, and between retrieval of learning materials and pupils’ performance. Also, there was a significant relationship between the provision of learning materials and pupils’ performance, and between the reproduction of learning materials and pupil’s performance. Overall, teachers are encouraged to continue their committed nature; sustain and enhance the spirit of volunteerism; and be prompt in the distribution and collection of self-learning materials. Implications of modular learning in basic education, even in post-pandemic times, were given importance and discussed comprehensively.

Authors: Layoc Jhon Benedict
Published: June 2024

Transformative Assessment is designed to help learners acquire mastery in the language field. This will help learners realize the significance of each assessment they will undergo. This assessment is different from traditional assessments since learners are given a series of outputs connected to their final activity. This research intends to analyze the efficacy of Transformative Assessment as a technique for enhancing the performance tasks of Grade 11 students in language subjects. The researchers conducted a pre-test to determine which competencies needed the Transformative Assessment Tool. After this, an intervention was conducted. To evaluate the efficacy of the transformative assessment, the researchers administered a post-test and employed a z-test to determine the difference between the outcomes. The result showed substantial discrepancies between the scores. Furthermore, the researchers conducted focus group discussions to gather feedback from the students and gain a deeper understanding of their perspectives on the transformative assessment process.
Attitudes and Considerations of Voters in the Philippine National Elections
Authors: Javines Jerimy
Published: June 2024

A survey was administered in a province in the Philippines to determine the political knowledge, attitudes, considerations, and problems encountered by the registered voters in the area during elections. Results have shown that all voter respondents, in general, have a collective understanding and engage in a consensus on the political and electoral structures of the elections. Most of the voters have expressed their non-disturbance about voting scenarios (problems encountered) and individual views and opinions (voters’ attitudes) they have all encountered but did put an overall yet partially significant emphasis on their demographic profiles. Furthermore, the extent of problems encountered by the voters made a justifiable analysis of voting behavior which provided a mirror for voters on how they perceived such experiences during election day. On the contrary, voting attitudes have presented the parameter of the values that voters had used and put into account. Regardless of their voting experiences, still they viewed the situation as normal and confirmed the real-life backgrounds and existing moral foundations of individuals which were considered prerequisites of being rational voters. Both attitudes and considerations have constituted of significant relationship to the variables and voters, especially on how they respond to their duties as citizens and form a new realization after the election. Whatever their responses were, voters have, in some areas, experienced a positive relationship with age, education, occupation, and religious affiliation.
Strategies Employed by Senior High School Students in Learning General Mathematics
Authors: Palumar Jezrel
Published: July 2024

This study aimed to identify the strategies employed by students in learning General Mathematics during the pandemic and to examine the relationship of these strategies with selected variables. A descriptive-correlational research design was utilized, and systematic sampling was employed to select 126 Grade 12 respondents. Validated questionnaires were used to collect data, and statistical analyses including mean, weighted mean, t-test for independent data, Pearson correlation, Mann-Whitney U Test, KruskalWallis Test, and ANOVA were conducted. The findings revealed that the extent of students’ utilization of metacognitive, cognitive, and collaborative strategies was “high.” Additionally, their academic performance in General Mathematics was found to be at a “satisfactory” level. Further analysis showed that students with outstanding academic standing before the pandemic (a) had a higher extent of utilization of the strategies compared to those with satisfactory and fairly satisfactory standings, and (b) performed better during the pandemic than those with very satisfactory, satisfactory, and fairly satisfactory ratings. However, no significant differences were found in the strategies employed by students when grouped according to sex and strand. Moreover, the extent of strategy utilization did not have a direct relationship with academic performance. These findings suggest a need for further research into additional factors that may influence learning outcomes. Exploring other variables impacting academic success and developing targeted interventions to enhance student performance is recommended.

Published: June 2024

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a horticultural crop as a vegetable or fruit with high economic value. One of the causes of decreased production is the presence of pests and diseases in tomato plants. The purpose of this research is to build an expert system to help the community, especially farmers, in diagnosing pests and diseases in tomato plants. The method used in this expert system is Dempster Shafer. The results achieved from the research were in the form of an expert system consisting of 10 pests and 7 diseases of tomatoes with 42 symptoms. The implication is that the user can choose the symptoms experienced by the plant, each symptom chosen has a weight that will be used to obtain disease determination results. Tests on 22 data show that the suitability between the application and the expert is 95%. This shows that the system is able to diagnose pests and diseases of tomato plants.

Published: June 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has emphasized the importance of wearing masks as a preventive measure. To facilitate mask detection and ensure compliance, computer vision techniques have been widely utilized. This research aims to develop a mask detection system using the YOLO (You Only Look Once) method. YOLO is a real-time object detection method that provides accurate and efficient results. The proposed system utilizes a pre-trained YOLO model trained on a dataset comprising images of individuals with and without masks. The YOLO model can detect and locate faces, as well as differentiate between individuals wearing masks and those who are not. The method works by dividing the image into a grid and predicting bounding boxes and class probabilities for each grid cell. This approach enables real-time mask detection with minimal computational overhead. Experimental evaluations were conducted using various relevant benchmark datasets. The evaluation results demonstrate that the mask detection system using the YOLO method achieves high detection rates and fast response times. This research is expected to contribute to the effort of monitoring mask usage to control the spread of COVID-19.
El renacimiento de la dictadura: su encanto y decepción
Authors: Aguilar Luis F.
Published: July 2024

The article focuses on the question whether the dictatorial populist governments, today appealing to multiple sectors of citizens, have really the power to solve social problems that the democratic rule of law governments seem unable to manage and solve. It describes the main characteristics of populisms of dictatorial nature and, particularly, emphasizes their decision of making exception of laws and of citizen’s rights and liberties as well, in order to rebuild the rule of law and the social policies effectiveness of the democratic regime and reinstate the social order. Since the populist authoritarian position claims to be more effective than the democratic government, producing the social results demanded by people, the question of its effectiveness is crucial. In societies crushed by any sort of needs and privations, the populism is likely to be an appraised and desirable government, but the negative effects of its unlawful decisions, subjection of public powers, harassment of dissenters and foreseeable insufficiency of resources to perform a solution of the needs, poverty and inequalities make the citizens to reassess the tradeoff they made between their liberty and submissiveness to the populist leader as long as getting a relief of its needs. The collapse of the populist authoritarian governance is its foreseeable ineffectiveness, linked to the resurgence of liberties.

Perspectivas del Estado abierto en la era exponencial, a la luz de la experiencia latinoamericana
Authors: Oszlak Oscar
Published: July 2024

As in the rest of the world, during the last decade Latin American States have been promoting various initiatives of “open government”, which recently reached parliaments and the courts, in a transition to an “open State”. This article reflects upon the prospects of these management philosophies becoming dominant paradigms of public governance in the region, in times of exponential changes characterizing the 4th Industrial Revolution, which pose new and complex challenges to state management. The emergence of open government is placed within the historical sequence of the successive paradigms that have dominated the field of public management, in order to find out the degree of continuity or rupture it implied vis-à-vis its predecessors. Then, it is examined the assumptions and challenges implicit in the adoption of its principles, as well as their modes of application. Finally, it is speculated about the perspectives of open government or open State becoming the threshold of typical way of governance of a deliberative democracy.
Sistema de Alta Dirección Pública en Chile (2004-2015): análisis de sus efectos en el desempeño institucional mediante panel de datos
Authors: Morales Casetti Marjorie , Salas Portuguez Rodrigo , Bustos Gutiérrez Marco
Published: July 2024

This article explores the effects of a reform inspired by New Public Management with the objective of analyzing whether the incorporation of technical criteria in the selection system for Senior Public Management (SADP) in Chile generates positive effects on institutional performance. Using quantitative, public and objective information from 72 Chilean public services, for the period 2004 to 2015, five statistical models are estimated using data panel. The explanatory variable used is the length of tenure of the SAPD appointee, which accounts for accumulated experience. Five outcome variables related to institutional performance are used, one for each model: productivity, efficiency, annual budget execution, budget execution at the third quarter and compliance with performance indicators. The results show that there are only significant effects of the SADP on compliance with the performance indicators, which indicates that the political-technical system for the selection of top management in Chile has not had the expected results since its creation. One of the possible causes is the low time of permanence in the position, less than three years, which is not enough to achieve the required learning to contribute to the improvement of management and service provision.
