Dépolitisée, repolitisée ou simplement politique ? La bureaucratie suédoise
Authors: Pierre Jon
Published: January 2024

Depoliticised, Repoliticised or Simply Political ? The Case of Sweden.

It is hard to measure the degree of politicisation of the Swedish civil service. On the one hand, like any civil service, it is, due to its very role in society, political. On the other hand, the existence of political tendencies in civil servants in no way constitutes proof of politicisation one way or another to be measured from an individual and institutional point of view. The Swedish institutional system seems to be a defence against general politicisation and probably contributes towards checking the influence of the new public management.
Les délocalisations en France
Authors: Montricher Nicole de
Published: January 2024

Delocalizations.

The evaluation of delocalizations can be done in two different manners : either by questioning the effectiveness of the reform or by examining the pertinence of the tools used for its implementation. It is the latter that will be analyzed. It helps highlight that the stakes foreign to the delocalized service, that the different delocalization actors do not meet to determine the interests that need protection, and that they act successively without any real interaction. These facts show that traditional administrative work methods are unsuited for complex public actions.
La gouvernance en milieu rural : le cas de la Tanzanie
Authors: Milanzi Montanus
Published: January 2024

The Tanzanian Situation : Local Governance in Rural Areas

In a country where 90% of the population lives in rural areas, the role of local authorities is crucial for maintaining a balance between central government and relations with the public. These authorities are largely dependent upon the central power and remain non representative, and it could be said that the very idea of rural governance is still at an embryonic stage. Beyond structural obstacles, the authorities must face up to illiteracy, poverty and oppression of the people.
Les relations avec les médias
Authors: Bourn John
Published: January 2024

Relations with the Media.

Analysis of the responses of 34 supreme audit institutions to a questionnaire on their relations with the media has enabled a somewhat qualified table of these reactions to be drawn up. On the one hand there are a number of frequently identifiable differences between countries, relating to the status of these relations, to the type of report published, to the strategy adopted with regard to the media, or moreover with respect to the media coverage given. On the other hand, there is a general tendency towards a growth in public and media interest in the work of the supreme audit institutions. This increased sensibility is accompanied by tangible advantages, but also presents a more important risk of criticism of these activities
Les institutions supérieures de contrôle dans un environnement en mutation

Supreme Audit Institutions in a Changing Environment.

The wide-spread slicing-up of central administration, which is represented by a trend towards decentralisation, privatisations and the development of administrative bodies with a certain amount of autonomy vis-à-vis the central administration, has the effect of transforming the role of supreme audit institutions. In the light of these changes, these institutions must adapt, agreeing to carry out second or even third level checks, and striving to be sites of excellence. These transformations are being realised via an increasing desire for transparency, wide usage of new information technology and the assimilation of control and communication methods used in the private sector.
Le secteur de la sécurité privée. Structuration économico-politique
Authors: Ocqueteau Frédéric
Published: January 2024

The Politico-Economic Structuring of the Private Security Sector.

The private security sector is developing continually. Statistical studies show the emergence of sizeable companies, which account for the majority of activity in the field. The area of biggest development is that of video-surveillance. In response to this development in the private security sector public authorities have set up a regulatory framework. In twenty years there have been three major legislative stages. The attitude of public powers has evolved from one of suspicion to one of coexistence. The orientation and programming law of 1995 in fact acknowledges that certain private security operations should participate in the ‘co-production’ of collective security. This new plan of action for public/private collaboration should be further reinforced in the near future.
Police et politique. Souvenirs d'un préfet de police

Published: January 2024

Police and Politics Memories of a Prefect of Police

After a brief historical account of the function of the prefect of police, Maurice Grimaud recalls the difficulties encountered by five of his predecessors in this function when they were divided between their duty of loyalty and their own opinions. The author, using three key events in his own career, then illustrates the sometimes difficult relations which arise between political powers and the representative of the authority of the state. Director General of national security at the beginning of the 1960s, prefect of police during the troubles of May 1968, member of the Minister for Home Office’s team at the beginning of the 1980s, Maurice Grimaud recalls the balance which, in times of exceptional circumstances, must be struck between legality and state security, loyalty and personal initiative, repression and conciliation.

The Ambivalent Jacobin : Vincent Wright as a Political Historian of Modem France ; The works of Vincent Wright on 19lh century France deal with very many subjects, but a common thread is identifiable : the attention given to political and administrative power, the places in which it is exercised and the institutions, individuals and groups who hold it. Profoundly Jacobin, Vincent Wright was nevertheless a bom sceptic who knew how to assess the limits of central State power and the importance of local level activity in French political life, just as he knew how to move away from theoretical frameworks in order to pursue individual trajectories leading in opposite directions.
Lettre à un ami américain : les dix paradoxes de l’administration française [À propos de l’administration française, La Documentation française, 1998]
Authors: Wright Vincent
Published: January 2024

Letters to an American Friend : the Ten Paradoxes of the French Administration ; The enumeration of a number of paradoxes with regard to the administration in France offers a living panorama of its reality. Thus, while it présents itself as unified and indivisible, the Republic is a site of confrontation between diverging interests ; while acknowledging that there is a problem of co-ordination, govemments do not cease to make it worse ; the dogma of the ‘general interest’ is smashed to pièces by practices which are known to exist by everyone and are tolerated ; while relatively non-unionised in general, the country has a public sector in which trade unions play a determining rôle ; admired abroad, the French administration is criticised ferociously in its own country... These paradoxes help to form an assessment of an administration which is not only an institution watching over public policy, but is in itself an arena for the activities of a large part of the political, financial and industrial elite of the country.
Jusqu’où le nouveau management public est-il applicable au Mexique ?
Authors: Proulx Denis
Published: January 2024

To What Extent is New Public Management Applicable in Mexico ?

A series of proposals put to two groups of public managers, one Mexican and the other Canadian, had as its object the realisation of a comparative study of the perception of public management and the role of the public manager in each country. Following on from this comparison it is possible to ascertain certain characteristics of the Mexican approach to public management. This particular approach has a direct influence upon the style of administrative reform that can be undertaken. Public managers in Mexico appear very attached to formalism and to hierarchical relationships which could be an obstacle to putting into place a new style of public management based upon flexibility and the desire for efficiency.
Après Nice, le débat sur l’Europe
Authors: Barnier Michel
Published: January 2024

After Nice, the Debate on Europe.

The Intergovernmental Conference held in Nice brought about four reforms, all of which were inspired by the concern to deal with enlargement of the European Union. These reforms cover : the size and composition of the Commission, the weighting of votes in the Council, the replacement of unanimity by qualified majority voting in decision-making procedures and enhanced co-operation. But the ensemble of Nice reforms does not appear sufficient. It was inspired by a short-term vision of the European order. There has to be Zan open and democratic debate on the future of the European Union, which is no longer oriented around safeguarding national sovereignty in the face of Europe, but is founded upon a European sovereignty in the face of European partners.
De la nature de l’administration européenne
Authors: Ziller Jacques
Published: January 2024

The True Nature of European Administration.

Comparative analysis facilitates an understanding of the differences between European administration and that of the Member States. The basis of the System is founded upon the classical European model, rather than the purely French model. The homogeneity of the structures is opposed by the heterogeneity of administrative culture. A static number of personnel in the wake of successive enlargements and the development of competencies helps explain the excessive use of experts and delegation. Comparison with the Swedish model, which is itself different from the classical European model, reveals further deficiencies and suggests that the construction of a model capable of taking into account the specificity of European administration should be recommended.
L’administration de la justice européenne
Authors: Puissochet Jean-Pierre
Published: January 2024

The Administration of European Justice.

The Community’s court System is entirely original. Each national judge is a judge of Community law, and the European Court of Justice, beyond its function in checking the application of Community law by Member States and the legality of Community acts, assures the uniform application of EC law via the preliminary ruling procedure. This mechanism has been tried and tested. However, the development of the courts’ activities, together with the ECJ and Court of First Instance’s enlarged sphere of competence, which bring about an excessive delay in the time taken for judgements to be given, suggest the need for a reform which comprises innovative solutions but does not call into question the present court structure. The Nice summit has brought with it some interesting solutions, but these are insufficient in the long-term.
Le rôle des États membres dans l’administration de l’Union européenne
Authors: Sauron Jean-Luc
Published: January 2024

The Role of Member States in the European Union Administration.

The fact that relatively few civil servants work within the European Union is due to the application of Community law by Member States’ administrations under the supervision of the Community’s administration. National administrations have a role to play in the administration of the European Union during the negotiation, and in order to implement the EU legislation. Moreover, national administrations are an indispensable tool in ensuring effective integration of countries seeking to join the Union. This is why these candidate countries must reform their administrations and why all Member States must try to unify their ministerial structures as far as possible, in order to enhance the vertical application of Community law and to facilitate relations between States and between Member States and the Community’s administration.
La modernisation de l’action préfectorale : le projet territorial de l’État
Authors: Bisch Pierre-Étienne
Published: January 2024

Modernising the Activities of Prefects : the Territorial Project of the State

The modernization of French local administration is not a recent idea. Since the 1990s a number of diverse projects have been carried out. But it is really since 1997 that modernisation has been seriously addressed by those in power. Public powers have favored a progressive approach agreed upon by different actors which by the end of 2000 has led to the elaboration of a framework for common action at each of the local levels where central authority is exercised : i.e. State territorial projects. These projects have, thus, been established under the impetus of central administration, by local actors who have enjoyed a good deal of room for maneuver. For the future they have a tool at their disposal and it is up to them to put it to good use.

Prefects in Italy

Nominated by a decree of the President of the Republic following a selection process carried out by a special commission which takes account of their training and their experience, Italian prefects find their professional position the object of a negotiation process : this is particularly so with regard to their salary. Charged with a plurality of missions (representing the State, engaging in dialogue with local authorities, dealing with matters of security, defending legality and civil liberties...), prefects have at their disposal a ‘government local bureau’, which is the result of a reorganisation of the prefect’s office.

Remunerated Teaching of Physical and Sporting Activities in the Member States of the European Union : the Process of Constructing a Europe of Professionals.

Due to the Community principle of free movement, sports trainers may carry out their profession in another member state. However, it seems that the exercise of this freedom is thwarted by the diversity of national regulations. Of course, this situation is attenuated by the mutual recognition of professional qualifications which encompasses three aspects : a regime of presumption of qualification without compensation being possible in the case of a non-equivalence of diplomas ; an academic equivalence ; and the general system of recognition of professional qualifications. It is, however, necessary to harmonise qualification systems : sports organisations are, moreover, participating in such a movement.

The 1960s heralded the development of a number of powerful conglomerates in South Korea called Chaebols. While the State largely approved of their development, these conglomerates have resulted in a large concentration of economic interests. This article analyses the relationships and the conflicts of interest which have arisen between political authorities and the conglomerates. When Kim Dae-jung put forward his candidature in the elections, in a context of financial crisis, he promised to reduce the role of the State in the market while also limiting the influence of the Chaebols. Above ail he is set to follow the plan for stabilising the economy as laid out by the IMF, without really having introduced the anticipated reforms or having fulfilled his pre-election promises.

L’Institut international d’administration publique (2 décembre 1966 -10 janvier 2002)
Authors: Ratte Philippe
Published: January 2024

The International Institute for Public Administration (IIAP) (December 2 1966 -January 10 2002)

The article traces the history of the International Institute for Public Administration (Institut international d’administration publique) from its colonial roots to its recent merger with the ENA. The creation of the Institute in 1966 reflected the Gaullist determination to build a world that would be govemed democratically by States with equal voting rights, exercising their freedom as sovereign nations. An instrument of French diplomacy, the IIAP combined a vision of the future with an all-important tradition of training professionals for service in French-speaking countries abroad. As a centre for advanced study answering to a very real need, it left its mark on thousands of civil servants. In 1981 at the request of local partners, the IIAP took a step in another direction with the setting up of a more diversified curriculum with a strong emphasis on economies. During this same period it entered a competitive market, and thanks to the events of 1989, was able to establish cooperative ties with Central and Eastem Europe. The competition which then existed between the IIPA’s activities and those of ENA gave rise to the idea of a merger, which became a reality only some years later.

The Role of Public and Private Actors in International Administrative Cooperation

The aim of this article is to assess the respective roles played in international administrative cooperation by French public and private actors, the conditions under which communication between these actors could be improved, their goals, and the means at their disposal to strengthen collaboration. From the author’s point of view, the role of private actors is still minimal and disconnected from State action, despite the fact that the few collaboration experiences which have been carried out clearly demonstrate the advantages of this sort of networking.

Published: January 2024

Introduction: A Diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are two chronic non-communicable diseases that have exceeded epidemic thresholds in all countries of the world. The problem of early diagnosis, prevention and treatment of CKD continues to be relevant for modern medicine, and assessment of the severity of CKD and associated cardiovascular complications is of great practical importance for primary and secondary prevention. Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the role of proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines and growth factors in progression of CKD in patients with DM. Patients and Methods: We screened 155 type 2 DM patients aged 65.00 (55.00-71.00) years. Control group included 21 healthy people with the same age. Renal function was assessed based on the levels of serum creatinine, cystatin C, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), which was calculated according to the CKD-EPI (chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration) equation, and albuminuria, which was assessed as albumin/creatinine ratio (A/C). The analysis of serum and urine biomarkers was carried out by enzyme immunoassay using commercial test systems. Results: Patients with DM had significantly higher levels of proinflammatory cytokines in comparison with the control group. The levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23), regulated upon activation, normal T cell expressed and presumably secreted (RANTES), MIG, CRP, kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and homocysteine gradually increased with decreasing GFR. According to the results of univariate linear regression analysis, there were significant relationships between the levels of VEGF-A, FGF-23, RANTES, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), MIG, CRP, hs-CRP, IL-6 and renal function. By multiple linear regression analysis adjusted for confounding factors, serum creatinine was significantly correlated with FGF-23 (β=0.40, P<0.001) and Il-6 (β=0.29, P<0.001). Conclusion: Our study demonstrated the important role of growth factors and proinflammatory cytokines in the development and progression of CKD in DM. However, despite these data, the pathogenesis of diabetic changes in the kidneys remains not fully understood and, in order to clarify the possibility of pathogenetic influences on the progression of diabetic nephropathy, it is necessary to study various aspects of its development, including genetic factors.

Introduction: Sodium-glucose transporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors induce glycosuria. Therefore, using a meta-analysis study, this study aimed to evaluate the correlation between SGLT2 inhibitor administration and urinary tract infection (UTI) risk. Materials and Methods: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we conducted searches on Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Google Scholar without time limitations up to October 16, 2023. Data were analyzed using STATA 14 software, and a significance level of P < 0.05 was considered. Results: The combination of 11 studies revealed that the use of SGLT2 inhibitors, when compared to glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, reduced the risk of UTI (OR = 0.77; 95% CI: 0.62, 0.95) and when compared to insulin (OR = 0.74; 95% CI: 0.63, 0.87). However, the administration of SGLT2 inhibitors, when compared to dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 (DPP‐4) inhibitors (OR = 1.09; 95% CI: 0.90, 1.32), sulfonylureas (OR = 1.35; 95% CI: 0.88, 2.05), biguanide initiators (OR = 1.14; 95% CI: 1.05, 1.24), thiazolidinediones (OR = 1.19; 95% CI: 0.58, 2.44), and other antidiabetic drugs (OR = 1.20; 95% CI: 0.92, 1.57), did not increase the risk of UTI. The administration of dapagliflozin (OR = 1.51; 95% CI: 0.60, 3.81), canagliflozin (OR = 1.22; 95% CI: 0.47, 3.15), and empagliflozin (OR = 3.22; 95% CI: 2.97, 3.48) showed associations with UTI risk. Furthermore, the correlation between SGLT2 inhibitors use and UTI risk was observed in cohort studies (OR = 1.14; 95% CI: 0.98, 1.32), cross-sectional studies (OR = 0.86; 95% CI: 0.64, 1.14), in males (OR = 1; 95% CI: 0.72, 1.40), and females (OR = 1.17; 95% CI: 0.91, 1.52). Conclusion: Empagliflozin, in contrast to dapagliflozin and canagliflozin, increases the risk of UTI. Registration: This study has been compiled based on the PRISMA checklist, and its protocol was registered on the PROSPERO (CRD42023479548) and Research Registry (UIN: reviewregistry1742) Websites
Ensuring participation rights in the execution process after voluntary submission of information storage media and admissibility of evidence - Supreme Court sentenced on September 18, 2023, 2022도 7453 an en banc decision -
Authors:   The Korean Association of Criminal Procedure Law, Lee Chang-Hyun
Published: January 2024

In the case of the target judgment, when the principal offender A handed over the information storage medium to B and ordered it to be concealed, B received it and concealed it, he was criminally charged with concealing evidence and submitted the information storage medium to the investigative agency. The investigative agency guaranteed B and his attorney the right to participate in the process of searching, copying, and outputting electronic information stored in the information storage medium, but did not guarantee A and others the right to participate.
According to the purpose of the existing precedent that the right to participate is recognized if the suspect who is not the confiscated is exceptionally considered a real confiscated person, the majority opinion judged that the right to participate was recognized because the right to participate was legally guaranteed, while the opposition judged that the right to participate was not guaranteed because A and others were recognized as actual confiscated.
As Article 219 of the Criminal Procedure Act applies mutatis mutandis to the seizure and search procedures for the accused during the trial, Article 121 of the Criminal Procedure Act shows that the right to participate should be guaranteed to the suspect, and Articles 118 and 129 show that the right to participate is confusing, so legislative improvement should be realized as soon as possible.
If the right to participate is guaranteed to all of them if the suspect and the confiscated person are different, the discussion of the majority opinion and the dissenting opinion is meaningless, and even if not, it is reasonable to guarantee the right to participate by recognizing A as a substantial confiscated person, as in the objection of the target judgment. However, it is reasonable to acknowledge the evidence capability of the illegal collection evidence exclusion law by acknowledging the exception of the law of exclusion of illegal collection evidence, as well as actively confirming the right to participate in cases where there are several people, such as the suspect, the confiscated, or between the suspects, but if it is difficult to identify the suspects at the time or their interests are consistent or very similar, it is reasonable to admit the evidence capability by acknowledging the exception to the law of exclusion of illegal collection evidence.

Does Female Stock Labor Promote Economic Growth? A Case of Pakistan
Authors: Ali Kousar , Sami Dr. Fariha , Arafat Yasir
Published: January 2024

This study investigates the significant contribution of the female workforce to the economic growth of Pakistan for the time 1988 - 2022. Various methodological tests are employed to determine the integration levels of the study's variables. Subsequent diagnostic tests are conducted to assess autocorrelation and heteroscedasticity, ensuring adherence to the assumptions of classical linear regression. Given the mixed order of integration of variables, the Autoregressive Distributive Lag Model (ARDL) is applied for both long-run and short-run estimations. The findings indicate a positive impact of female capital stock on Pakistan's economic growth. Furthermore, the Multivariate Granger Causality test establishes a one-way causal relationship, demonstrating the influence of the female stock of capital on the economic growth of Pakistan. In conclusion, the study advocates for creating ample opportunities for women in Pakistan to unlock the full potential of the economy.

The purpose of the article is to demonstrate practices used to supervise the use of sewage sludge for agricultural purposes. The presented research and conclusions are a trend analysis and are not to be used to penalise entities. Sewage sludge, which comes from the illegal dumping of wastewater into municipal wastewater by industrial plants, contains large amounts of heavy metals. Treatment plants transfer the sludge for agricultural use. Regulations specifically restrict the mode and conditions for such use of sludge. Methods: the research was carried out using a proprietary questionnaire, which is a supplement to the reporting questionnaire of the National Urban Wastewater Treatment Program implemented by the State Water Company "Wody Polskie". Results: The survey was conducted at 208 wastewater treatment plants in Poland. The results show that the majority of wastewater treatment plants do not properly supervise the process of introducing sewage sludge into the soil. They also lack supervision of how much heavy metals from wastewater are introduced into the soil. This means that there is a very high risk of contamination of agricultural soils. The results obtained could initiate a detailed analysis of this phenomenon in Poland. A comprehensive study of the scale of the practice and its current effects is required to determine the actual condition of soil treated with sewage sludge.
Analisis Kesesuaian Lahan Untuk Pengembangan Kawasan Industri Di Provinsi Jawa Barat
Authors: Asnawi Saryulis
Published: January 2024

Pengembangan kawasan industri di Jawa Barat perlu pembangunan yang memperhatikan kesesuaian lahan agar tidak memberikan masalah bagi lingkungan dan keberlanjutan ekologi. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan analisis kesesuaian lahan untuk pengembangan kawasan industri dengan melihat Satuan Kemampuan Lahan (SKL). Hasil evaluasi SKL menunjukkan bahwa Provinsi Jawa Barat bagian utara memiliki tingkat kesesuaian lahan yang paling baik untuk pengembangan kawasan industri untuk jenis SKL bencana alam, erosi, pembuangan limbah, morfologi, kestabilan pondasi, kestabilan lereng, dan kemudahan pengembangan. Sementara itu, hasil analisis kesesuaian kawasan industri menunjukkan bahwa 33,31% dari total luas wilayah Provinsi Jawa Barat sesuai untuk pengembangan kawasan industri dengan sebaran spasial di bagian utara Provinsi Jawa Barat, 61,99% kurang sesuai, dan 1,70% masuk dalam kategori tidak sesuai. Perbandingan hasil analisis kesesuaian lahan dengan RTRW Jawa Barat juga menunjukkan rencana industri di utara pulau masuk dalam kategori sesuai untuk pengembangan industri, sedangkan rencana industri di tengah dan selatan pulau masuk dalam kategori kurang sesuai.
REFLEXÕES PSICANALÍTICAS ACERCA DA RELAÇÃO DO SUJEITO COM DEUS
Authors: Vieira Fabiano de Mello
Published: January 2024

: O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar, sob o viés psicanalítico, a relação entre o sujeito e seu Deus na medida em que essa relação está diretamente ligada ao próprio funcionamento do seu psiquismo. Ou seja, para a psicanálise a origem dessa relação está no próprio sujeito. Nesse sentido, retrataremos de maneira breve o caminho percorrido por Freud acerca da passagem do animismo às religiões e da importância do totemismo como um exemplo para aquilo que a psicanálise chamou de registo simbólico. Tal registro possibilita pensar o (P)ai como metáfora e, portanto, situar Deus no lugar simbólico do Pai de todos, onipotente, onipresente, que protege e ao mesmo tempo castiga aqueles que desobedecem suas leis. A relação com a Lei internalizada pela metáfora paterna é a marca fundamental da estrutura neurótica que precisa administrar o conflito entre os desejos e as privações. Por fim, avançamos com a noção de Das Ding apresentada por Freud e desenvolvida por Lacan que representa o reencontro com o desde sempre perdido. O sujeito conseguirá algum tipo de relação com o Das Ding por meio da fantasia – recurso imaginário que reveste o impossível de possibilidades como a da salvação, da vida eterna e tantas outras promessas divinas.

Jatuh tegangan pada jaringan tegangan menengah merupakan suatu kondisi jumlah tegangan yang disalurkan tidak sama dengan tegangan yang diterima. Jatuh tegangan juga dipengaruhi oleh arus yang mengalir dan nilai resistansi dan reaktansi penghantar. Penyulang Subaru merupakan salah satu penyulang pada Gardu Induk Kenten yang mempunyai beban besar sehingga saat beban puncak, jatuh tegangannya cukup besar. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisa jatuh tegangan pada Penyulang Subaru, ditinjau dari sebelum pemecahan beban dan setelah pemecahan beban pada saat beban puncak. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode topologi jaringan. Hasil penelitian adalah sebelum pemecahan beban, jatuh tegangan 3 fasa pada Penyulang Subaru adalah 287,3229 V atau 1,4154%. Setelah pemecahan beban, jatuh tegangan 3 fasa pada Penyulang Subaru menjadi 109,1823 V atau 0,5300%, dan jatuh tegangan 3 fasa pada Penyulang Chevrolet menjadi 109,2697 V atau 0,5308%.
