Understanding the Waves of Agencification and the Governance Problems They Have Raised in Central and Eastern European Countries

Subjects: Economics

description: September 28, 2011 OECD Journal on Budgeting, Vol. 2, No. 1, pp. 121-139, 2001 Abstract:
The goal of this paper is to provide tools to understand and analyse waves of “agencification” in transition countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Agencification is a shorthand for the process of delegation and devolution, in which more autonomy, particularly in personnel and financial issues, is granted to public bodies, which either remain legally part of the state or acquire their own legal personality. It can also mean creating or moving functions to bodies, which are subsidiary or separate from ministries/departments (Gill, 2002). In transition countries, most public organisations inherited a legal personality already from communism, with consequences which are both procedural and substantive. Therefore, agencification in transition countries usually means the creation of new autonomous bodies for new functions or a significant increase in the autonomy of existing legally separate bodies either on an individual or a collective basis. The paper aims to contribute to knowledge and analysis of the process of agencification in Central and Eastern Europe by pointing out differences between transition countries and stabilised industrial democracies, but also similarities. It focuses on incentives of individual actors in the process and presents an analytical framework for a closer look at the process. After analysing its practical consequences, it makes several recommendations.

description: Abstract:
During the last 15 years, postcommunist countries have undergone dramatic changes in their economic and social policies. Major policy reforms have been sometimes enacted with apparent consensus, but were frequently highly controversial. In this paper, we examine whether the degree of consensus and controversy at the time of the reform passage influences future sustainability of the reforms. For this purpose, we selected two types of reforms that were emblematic of liberal economic policies and have major fiscal impact. These are introduction of the flat tax and introduction of the so-called "2nd pension pillar" - a compulsory, funded element of the pension system. We examine a sample of EU member states which have implemented flat tax and/or 2nd pension pillars. For these countries, we examine level of consensus/controversy about the need for and shape of these reforms at the time of their passage and how the consensus/controversy influenced sustainability of the reforms, defined as abolition or major changes in the reforms. Our conclusion is that the level of consensus was not relevant for sustainability and the reforms created their own "lock-in" effect though of a very different nature for each of them.
Obstacles to Open and Honest Government: An Overview of Corruption: Corruption as a Problem (Ethical, Moral, Economic and Political) Affecting the Whole Society

description: 1. DEFINITION Defined simply, corruption is the misuse of entrusted power for private benefit. Yet it is not so long ago that the word itself was completely taboo in professional and political environments. The word seldom appeared in newspapers and economists rarely mentioned it, although political scientists had begun to take an academic interest in it. Normative statements about corruption require a point of view, a standard of "goodness" and a model of how corruption works in particular instances. While corruption is defined as "the misuse of entrusted power for private benefit", it can also be described as representing non-compliance with the "arm's-length" principle, under which no personal or family relationship should play any role in economic decision-making, be it by private economic agents or by government officials. Once the arm's-length principle has been breached and a distinction made based on relationships, corruption will often follow. Conflict of interest situations and nepotism are examples. The arm's-length principle is seen as fundamental to the efficient functioning of any organisation

HCN1-mediated interactions of ketamine and propofol in a mean field model of the EEG

Year: 2024

description: Ketamine and propofol, two popular anesthetic agents, are generally believed to operate via disparate primary mechanisms: ketamine through NMDA antagonism and propofol through the potentiation of GABAA-gated receptor currents. However, surprisingly the effect of ketamine on the EEG is markedly altered in the presence of propofol. Specifically, while ketamine alone results in a downshift of the peak frequency of the alpha rhythm, and propofol keeps it roughly constant - when administered together, they increase the alpha peak frequency. Recently it has been found that both ketamine and propofol inhibit the hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated potassium channel form 1 (HCN1) subunits, which induces neuronal membrane hyperpolarization. Furthermore, HCN1 knockout mice are significantly less susceptible to hypnosis with these agents; but equally affected by HCN1-neutral etomidate. We show here that an established mean field model of electrocortical activity can predict the EEG changes induced by combining ketamine and propofol by taking into account merely the HCN1-mediated hyperpolarisations, but neglecting their supposed main mechanisms of action (NMDA and GABAA, respectively).

Abstract:
The paper looks at what policy-makers can do to decrease corruption in developing and transition countries, based on an in-depth examination of effectiveness of actual anticorruption measures in Slovakia. The research presents a synthesis of 12 case studies where measures in the sectors most associated with corruption as well as horizontal measures were analysed. The research shows that corruption can be decreased significantly within several years and external actors can play a substantial role in the process. An overall decrease in corruption can be based on aggregation of individual sectoral changes in areas most suffering from graft. In particular, the Slovak strategy was based on a sector-by-sector economic approach to resolving supply-demand imbalances based on either liberalization/privatization, limitations on discretion or managing supply and/or demand. Horizontal reforms complemented by sectoral reforms with their strong focus on increasing transparency. Concerning the role of external actors, we conclude that even when there is a domestically driven anticorruption effort, the external actors can still help significantly by serving as sources of inspiration, legitimacy, know-how and funding for reform design and implementation.

The Political Economy of Comprehensive Social Policy Reform and Emergence of a Social Policy Paradigm: The Case of Slovakia
Creators: name: Beblavy, Miroslav
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2014
Subjects: Education

description: 2006 Abstract:
In many European countries, significant changes in social policy are needed to ensure successful policy outcomes in employment, social inclusion and overall prosperity. However, many governments have been unable to implement the changes due to resistance by special interests as well as broader sections of population. The paper uses the example of Slovakia, which has been able to introduce a comprehensive social policy reform (including pension reform, labour market reform and tax and benefit reform), to study the political economy of such changes and what has enabled the Slovak government to successfully introduce them. The paper first looks at reasons underlying the need for comprehensive changes in social policy in many European countries. It then describes the reform package adopted in Slovakia and analyses political and other factors that made it possible to design, implement, and sustain a radical change of this sort. In the conclusion, it looks at whether a broader new social policy paradigm can be identified as emerging among the new member states of the European Union.

description: Although actinides are the most informative elements with respect to the nature of a nuclear accident, plutonium analysis is complicated by the background created by fallout from atmospheric nuclear explosions. Therefore, we propose 239Np, a short-lived actinide that emits several γ rays, as a preferred proxy. The aim of this study was to screen ion specific extraction chromatography resins (RE-, TEVA-, UTEVA-, TRU-, and Actinide-Resin) for the highest possible recovery and separation of trace amounts of 239Np from samples with large activities of fission products such as radiocesium, radioiodine, and, most importantly, radiotellurium, the latter of which causes spectral interference in gamma spectrometry through overlapping peaks with 239Np. The investigated environmental media for these separations were aqueous solutions simulating rainwater and soil. Spiked samples containing 239Np and the aforementioned volatile radionuclides were separated through extraction chromatographic columns to ascertain the most effective means of separating 239Np from other fission products for detection by gamma spectroscopy. We propose a method for nuclear accident preparedness based on the use of Eichrom's RE-Resin. The proposed method was found most effective for isolating 239Np from interfering radionuclides in both aqueous solution and soil using 8 M HNO3 as the loading solution and H2O as the eluent. The RE-Resin outperforms the more commonly used TEVA-Resin because the TEVA-Resin showed a higher affinity for interfering radiotellurium and radioiodine. (Figure Presented).

description: Background: What study participants think about the nature of a study has been hypothesised to affect subsequent behaviour and to potentially bias study findings. In this trial we examine the impact of awareness of study design and allocation on participant drinking behaviour.Methods/Design: A three-arm parallel group randomised controlled trial design will be used. All recruitment, screening, randomisation, and follow-up will be conducted on-line among university students. Participants who indicate a hazardous level of alcohol consumption will be randomly assigned to one of three groups. Group A will be informed their drinking will be assessed at baseline and again in one month (as in a cohort study design). Group B will be told the study is an intervention trial and they are in the control group. Group C will be told the study is an intervention trial and they are in the intervention group. All will receive exactly the same brief educational material to read. After one month, alcohol intake for the past 4 weeks will be assessed.Discussion: The experimental manipulations address subtle and previously unexplored ways in which participant behaviour may be unwittingly influenced by standard practice in trials. Given the necessity of relying on self-reported outcome, it will not be possible to distinguish true behaviour change from reporting artefact. This does not matter in the present study, as any effects of awareness of study design or allocation involve bias that is not well understood. There has been little research on awareness effects, and our outcomes will provide an indication of the possible value of further studies of this type and inform hypothesis generation.

description: In light of the growing number of youth violence instruments at a clinician's disposal, this study sought to investigate the interchangeability of two widely validated adolescent violence risk instruments. The concurrent and incremental validity of the Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth (SAVRY) and the Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (YLS/CMI) were evaluated in a young Australian custodial population. A significant degree of dimensional construct overlap between instruments was discovered. Both measures were similarly found to be moderately predictive of general and violent recidivism. Findings indicate that the instruments are potentially substitutable when used to evaluate future violence in these settings. Clinical implications for risk assessment practice are discussed.

description: There is a demonstrated and paramount need for rapid, reliable infectious disease diagnostics, particularly those for invasive fungal infections. Current clinical determinations for an appropriate antifungal therapy can take up to 3 days using current antifungal susceptibility testing methods, a time-to-readout that can prove detrimental for immunocompromised patients and promote the spread of antifungal resistant pathogens. Herein, we demonstrate the application of intensity-based reflectometric interference spectroscopic measurements (termed iPRISM) on microstructured silicon sensors for use as a rapid, phenotypic antifungal susceptibility test. This diagnostic platform optically tracks morphological changes of fungi corresponding to conidia growth and hyphal colonization at a solid-liquid interface in real time. Using Aspergillus niger as a model fungal pathogen, we can determine the minimal inhibitory concentration of clinically relevant antifungals within 12 h. This assay allows for expedited detection of fungal growth and provides a label-free alternative to broth microdilution and agar diffusion methods, with the potential to be used for point-of-care diagnostics.

description: This atoms to ecosystems model of ecological adaptations links nutrient-dependent epigenetic effects on base pairs and amino acid substitutions to pheromone-controlled changes in the microRNA / messenger RNA balance and chromosomal rearrangements. The nutrient-dependent pheromone-controlled changes are required for the thermodynamic regulation of intracellular signaling, which enables biophysically constrained nutrient-dependent protein folding; experience-dependent receptor-mediated behaviors, and organism-level thermoregulation in ever-changing ecological niches and social niches. Nutrient-dependent pheromone-controlled ecological, social, neurogenic and socio-cognitive niche construction are manifested in increasing organismal complexity in species from microbes to man. Species diversity is a biologically-based nutrient-dependent morphological fact and species-specific pheromones control the physiology of reproduction. The reciprocal relationships of species-typical nutrient-dependent morphological and behavioral diversity are enabled by pheromone-controlled reproduction. Ecological variations and biophysically constrained natural selection of nutrients cause the behaviors that enable ecological adaptations. Species diversity is ecologically validated proof-of-concept. Ideas from population genetics, which exclude ecological factors, are integrated with an experimental evidence-based approach that establishes what is currently known. This is known: Olfactory/pheromonal input links food odors and social odors from the epigenetic landscape to the physical landscape of DNA in the organized genomes of species from microbes to man during their development.

description: Biosynthetic pathways of natural products contain many enzymes that contribute to the rapid assembly of molecular complexity. Enzymes that form complex structural elements with multiple stereocenters, like chiral saturated oxygen heterocycles (CSOH), are of particular interest for a synthetic application, as their use promises to significantly simplify access to these elements. Here, the biocatalytic characterization of AmbDH3, an enzyme that catalyzes intramolecular oxa-Michael addition (IMOMA) is reported. This reaction essentially gives access to various types of CSOH with adjacent stereocenters, but it is not yet part of the repertoire of preparative biocatalysis. An in-depth study on the synthetic utility of AmbDH3 was performed, which made extensive use of complex synthetic precursor surrogates. The enzyme exhibited stability and broad substrate tolerance in in vitro experiments, which was in agreement with the results of molecular modeling. Its selectivity profile enabled kinetic resolution of chiral tetrahydropyrans (THPs) under control of up to four stereocenters. A systematic optimization of the reaction conditions enabled gram-scale conversions yielding preparative amounts of chiral THP. The synthetic utility of AmbDH3 was finally demonstrated by its successful application in the key step of a chemoenzymatic total synthesis to the THP-containing phenylheptanoid (-)-centrolobine. These results highlight the synthetic potential of AmbDH3 and related IMOMA cyclases as a biocatalytic alternative that further develops the available chemical-synthetic IMOMA methodology.

It argues that through his work in neuroscience, McGilchrist has provided us with the means to comprehend the nihilistic tendencies of Western civilization, how these tendencies emerged and where they are taking us. He shows it to be the consequence of malfunctiong brains. At the same time, through his study of eras when the brain was not malfunctioning while supporting philosophers who recognized what is wrong, he offers us a clearer idea of what civilization should be and how nihilism might be overcome..

description: The rogue wave solutions (rational multibreathers) of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLS) are tested in numerical simulations of weakly nonlinear and fully nonlinear hydrodynamic equations. Only the lowest order solutions from 1 to 5 are considered. A higher accuracy of wave propagation in space is reached using the modified NLS equation, also known as the Dysthe equation. This numerical modeling allowed us to directly compare simulations with recent results of laboratory measurements in Chabchoub. In order to achieve even higher physical accuracy, we employed fully nonlinear simulations of potential Euler equations. These simulations provided us with basic characteristics of long time evolution of rational solutions of the NLS equation in the case of near-breaking conditions. The analytic NLS solutions are found to describe the actual wave dynamics of steep waves reasonably well.

description: We report the experimental observation of multi-bound-soliton solutions of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLS) in the context of hydrodynamic surface gravity waves. Higher-order N-soliton solutions with N = 2, 3 are studied in detail and shown to be associated with self-focusing in the wave group dynamics and the generation of a steep localized carrier wave underneath the group envelope. We also show that for larger input soliton numbers, the wave group experiences irreversible spectral broadening, which we refer to as a hydrodynamic supercontinuum by analogy with optics. This process is shown to be associated with the fission of the initial multisoliton into individual fundamental solitons due to higher-order nonlinear perturbations to the NLS. Numerical simulations using an extended NLS model described by the modified nonlinear Schrodinger equation, show excellent agreement with experiment and highlight the universal role that higher-order nonlinear perturbations to the NLS play in supercontinuum generation.

description: In this work, we develop a posteriori error control for a generalized Boussinesq model in which thermal conductivity and viscosity are temperature-dependent. Therein, the stationary Navier–Stokes equations are coupled with a stationary heat equation. The coupled problem is modeled and solved in a monolithic fashion. The focus is on multigoal-oriented error estimation with the dual-weighted residual method in which an adjoint problem is utilized to obtain sensitivity measures with respect to several goal functionals. The error localization is achieved with the help of a partition-of-unity in a weak formulation, which is specifically convenient for coupled problems as we have at hand. The error indicators are used to employ adaptive algorithms, which are substantiated with several numerical tests such as one benchmark and two further experiments that are motivated from laser material processing. Therein, error reductions and effectivity indices are consulted to establish the robustness and efficiency of our framework.

description: Today’s manufacturing companies operate in a turbulent environment. Globalisation, increasing market dynamism and ever shortening product life cycles are just some of the aspects that characterise the steady rise in competitive pressure (Roland Berger Strategy Consultants GmbH 2012; Abele and Reinhart 2011; Sirkin et al. 2004). Moreover, factors such as sustainability and the conservation of natural resources are playing an increasingly important role (BMU 2012; Deutsche Post AG 2010). In order to maintain sustainable production in a turbulent environment, it is necessary to be able to anticipate impending changes and to determine and assess available alternative courses of action. The determination of potential action strategies requires knowledge of how production facilities behave at all levels, including those of production networks, machines and processes.

description: Being considered as a prototype for description of oceanic rogue waves, the Peregrine breather solution of the nonlinear Schroedinger equation has been recently observed and intensely investigated experimentally in particular within the context of water waves. Here, we report the experimental results showing the evolution of the Peregrine solution in the presence of wind forcing in the direction of wave propagation. The results show the persistence of the breather evolution dynamics even in the presence of strong wind and chaotic wave field generated by it. Furthermore, we have shown that characteristic spectrum of the Peregrine breather persists even at the highest values of the generated wind velocities thus making it a viable characteristic for prediction of rogue waves.

The Critical Reception of Christian Norberg-Schulz’s Writings on Heidegger and Place
Creators: name: Wilken, Rowan
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This article draws from reception theory in its examination of the reception over time by architectural theorists and historians of Christian Norberg-Schulz's work. Giving special emphasis to his book, Genius Loci (1980), it examines the critical response to his application of Heideggerian ideas and terminology in his writing, and his development of the notion of genius loci. Having detailed this reception—which at times borders on hostile—my focus shifts to exploring why it is that this work has attracted such enduring critical concern. What are some of the factors that attract this attention and how might we interpret and understand such concern for and criticism of his ideas and his writing?
Les espèces exotiques envahissantes : Messages-clés de l'évaluation Ipbes et regard FRB

description: Les espèces exotiques envahissantes sont identifiées par l’Ipbes comme une des cinq pressions directes de déclin de la biodiversité.

Par compétition pour les ressources, occupation de niches écologiques, prédation, vection de maladie ou encore des modifications du milieu, elles ont contribué, parmi d’autres causes, à 60 % des extinctions d’animaux et de plantes sur la planète, pertes qui réduisent la résilience des écosystèmes et favorise l’émergence d’autres espèces exotiques. Un cercle vicieux qui n’est pas sans conséquence : le coût économique mondial documenté des invasions biologiques est multiplié par quatre tous les dix ans depuis 1970. En 2019, sur les 37 000 espèces exotiques établies recensées, 3 500 sont envahissantes et les coûts annuels mondiaux des invasions biologiques ont été estimés à plus de 423 milliards de dollars.

Publiée en 2023, une évaluation de l’Ipbes s’est intéressée spécifiquement à cette pression, particulièrement présente dans les îles, afin de mieux en comprendre les contours ainsi que les moyens d’action et de prévention. La FRB en extrait ici les messages-clés et apporte son regard critique.

description: The dynamics of surface gravity water waves can be described by the self-defocusing nonlinear Schroedinger equation. Recent observations of black solitons on the surface of water confirmed its validity for finite, below critical depth. The black soliton is a limiting case of a family of gray soliton solutions with finite amplitude depressions. Here, we report observations of gray solitons in water waves, thus, complementing our previous observations of black solitons.
THE DEADENING OF COMMENSALITY: EMERGING ADULTS' CURRENT AND IDEAL EATING PRACTICES AS INFLUENCED BY WORKING LIFE AND MODERN CULTURE

description: Current research suggests that social eating, known as commensality, is becoming more uncommon in modern life due to increased individualization. Despite this finding, additional causes, and social consequences of individualized eating in modern life are underexplored. Drawing on 20 in-depth, semi-structured qualitative interviews, I explore what typical and ideal eating practices are among working emerging adults, 18-25 years of age in the United States. I find there to be patterns among participating emerging adults’ lived experiences that have led me to construct three analytical types of modern-day eating habits: communal, unconscious, and mindful. I find that communal eating, or commensality, has deadened for my participants. Their modern-day eating practices are more frequently isolated and experienced as a burden. Next, unconscious types of eating in modern life were seen through my participant’s lack of awareness around how they eat, and inability to imagine changes to their health without the overconsumption of food commodities. The final analytical type is mindful eating, which to my participants, primarily allows them to focus their attention towards what they are consuming, but fails to consider how they are consuming. This speaks to our limited understanding of mindful eating. My findings suggest that a continuation of individualized eating can have negative social consequences such as alienation and a perpetuated inability to imagine a healthy life without the unconscious consumption of food. Additionally, I find that the COVID-19 pandemic offered emerging adults in my study the flexibility that they needed to navigate modern life, if temporarily so. This research offers analytical types of eating practices that can help create a more holistic understanding of health and can be informative for employers hiring emerging adults to lend to more balanced working environments and lifestyles.
