THREE ESSAYS ON BUREAUCRACY AND DEMOCRACY: A BUREAUCRATIC REPUTATION APPROACH TO U.S. FEDERAL RULEMAKING
Creators: name: Park, Joohyung
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 440708
subject: Public administration

description: Since the advent of the administrative state, how to reconcile bureaucratic discretion and power with the norms of democratic governance has been a central question in the field of public administration, political science, and administrative law. However, this question has been primarily addressed from the political control and procedural politicking perspectives that presume a lack of bureaucratic accountability without sufficiently considering how bureaucrats use their discretion and power. Building on the bureaucratic reputation perspective that reflects well the public value trade-offs and implementation issues bureaucrats must deal with, this dissertation explores the compatibility of bureaucracy with democracy in the context of U.S. federal rulemaking. First, this dissertation examines when and why agency rulemaking follows or circumvents the notice-and-comment process required by the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). It finds that agencies follow the notice-and-comment process more faithfully when acquiring implementation knowledge and cooperation from affected groups becomes important to prevent implementation failure and reputational damage. Second, this study investigates whether and how uncertainty in rule implementation affects the timing of rule finalization, exploring the role of participatory rulemaking in mediating such a relationship. It also demonstrates that regulatory delay occurs when agencies deal with the rules that require greater cooperation from affected groups for effective implementation, which is partially attributed to the increased use of participatory rulemaking. Third, this dissertation examines the impacts of bureaucratic reputation on congressional delegation and agency responsiveness. It finds the partisan use of agency reputation by both Congress and agencies, indicating that the politics of reputation might become entangled with partisan politics. Taken as a whole, these findings suggest that the democratic implications of bureaucratic discretion and power can be explored in a more balanced and comprehensive way through the bureaucratic reputation perspective that effectively captures bureaucrats’ reputational incentives at the task, organization, and political environment levels.

description: In a previous study, the collapse frequencies and associated mortalities of buildings were compiled based on various publications. The investigation showed a considerable scattering of collapse frequencies depending on the countries. In this paper, the collapse frequencies determined for buildings are compared with the results of probabilistic calculations. Such comparisons have already been carried out for bridges, dams, tunnels and retaining walls including the consideration of central estimators and standard deviations. In order to limit the scatter, the probabilities of failure for buildings were subdivided into the different causes of failure, and collapse frequencies were subdivided into different countries and geographical regions. Overall, the comparison shows that the probabilities of failure are on overage larger than the observed collapse frequencies. Furthermore, the comparison shows are large span, which is unusual for other types of structures. Of concern are the high observed collapse frequencies in various developing countries. Human error, lack of training, etc. are often cited as the cause. Should this correspond to the facts, the basic safety concept of modern building standards, which generally excludes human error, would only be applicable in these regions to a limited extent. However, the investigation includes some limitations, such as different safety targets in different standards and different years of constructions, which are not considered. Further work is required.

Eoplatyrhina

description: Genus † Eoplatyrhina gen. nov.
Type species. † Platyrhina bolcensis Heckel, 1851.
Diagnosis. Platyrhinid characterized by the following combination of characters: rostral cartilage very long, almost reaching the anterior border of the disc; anterior fontanel extending through the entire length of the rostral cartilage with a closed and concave posterior border; nasal capsules at right angles to the rostrum; single small horn on nasal capsule; large space between the hyomandibulae and mandibular arch; approximately 132 vertebral centra (20–24 trunk centra; 113–118 centra from puboischiadic bar to the tip of tail); 15 or 16 rib pairs; 81–87 pectoral radials (35–38 propterygial, 8–10 mesopterygial, 38–41 metapterygial); 18–21 pelvic radials; short, straight and stout claspers (about 10% of total length; TL, hereafter); 20–25 caudal-fin radials on both ventral and dorsal sides (40–50 in total); thorns absent.
Derivation of name. The name is derived from the Greek E ̄os, pertaining to the sunrise, as well as to the goddess of dawn and the epoch from which the taxon is found, plus Platyrhina, a living thornback ray, therefore indicating a close relationship of this latter genus with the new taxon.
Included species. Type species only.

description: Genus † Plesiozanobatus gen. nov.
Type species. † Torpedo egertoni De Zigno, 1876.
Diagnosis. Pectoral disc large and roughly rounded, representing 56–70% TL; tail stout and short, distinctly demarcated from the disc; two dorsal fins and caudal fin present; densely, closely set small dermal denticles forming a continuous pavement; large, rounded, scattered thorns covering the entire disc and tail; rostral cartilage absent; nasal capsules laterally expanded without horn-like processes; long propterygia extending near the anterior margin of the disc; mesopterygium absent; about 65–75 pectoral radials; puboischiadic bar narrow and moderately arched; approximately 20 pelvic-fin rays; 80–90 vertebrae; about 10 pairs of ribs.
Derivation of name. From the Ancient Greek word pλGR ί o u (pl̄eśıon) meaning ‘near’ or ‘close’, and Zanobatus, to remark upon its close relationship with the living panray genus.
Included species. Type species only.
Remarks. De Zigno (1876) considered that the overall similarity of the disc shape and the absence of a tail sting on the holotypic specimen MGP-PD 154Z justified the assignment of this species to the genus Torpedo. Later, Jaekel (1894), analysing additional, better preserved material, assigned the species † T. egertoni to Platyrhina. However, he noticed that the fossil species from Bolca might have been more closely related to Platyrhina schoenleinii than to Platyrhina sinesensis because of the general shape and proportions of the body and disc, as well as the arrangement of the pectoral radials and gill arches. Platyrhina schoenleinii is currently recognized as Zanobatus schoenleinii (see Compagno 1999).

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The classical combinatorics-based password strength formula provides a result in tens of bits, whereas the NIST Entropy Estimation Suite give a result between 0 and 1 for Min-entropy. In this work, we present a newly developed metric -- Expectation entropy that can be applied to estimate the strength of any random or random-like password. Expectation entropy provides the strength of a password on the same scale as an entropy estimation tool. Having an 'Expectation entropy' of a certain value, for example, 0.4 means that an attacker has to exhaustively search at least 40\% of the total number of guesses to find the password.

description: Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore how operations decision-making may keep the growing firms within the boundaries of corporate and societal sustainability. Design/methodology/approach The authors classify operations decisions during growth periods according to the three dimensions of the triple bottom line (economic, social and environmental). By means of a longitudinal case study of a family-owned wood construction firm that is in a process of intense growth, the authors identify, visually represent and analyse the complex sequences of selected managerial operations decisions. Findings The empirical data suggest that operations decisions made by managers during growth periods follow specific patterns. From the analysis, the authors derive various research propositions that investigate how a well-understood and therefore efficient and effective decision-making process can facilitate sustainable business growth. Research limitations/implications The findings offer opportunities for future studies to zoom in on specific parts of the decision-making process during growth periods. Moreover, given the exploratory nature of this study, future research should test hypotheses derived from the research propositions. Practical implications This study investigates operations decision-making during growth, which is crucial for guiding companies through this complex transition phase. Originality/value This conceptual and empirical analysis explores new theory and contributes to the vastly under-researched subject of sustainable business growth.

description: In Cambodia, soil depletion presents a serious threat for the agricultural production. Livestock manure can contribute with its organic content to a better soil fertility. However, not much is known about the manure management practices in Cambodia. Therefore the aim of the study is to generate basic knowledge about the farmers practices regarding farmyard manure management, including collection, storage and processing practices and the final use of the manure. Focus is laid on the management of cattle and chicken manure. In addition, some information was collected regarding pig manure. To gather data, a survey involving 68 semi-structured household interviews and seven key informant interviews were conducted. The target households and key informants were selected in six different villages in two communes in the district of Rottanak Mondol in Battambang province, located in the north-western part of Cambodia. To select the interviewed households, a non-random purposive multistage sampling was applied. The study was imbedded in a project about conservation agriculture, which is implemented by the Swiss NGO Swisscontact in cooperation with the National University of Battambang (NUBB). The main results show that the majority of the respondents collects the cattle and chicken manure and stores it on simple heaps. The manure is stored on natural floor and not protected from weathering. Generally, the manure is not processed, only a small number of farmers did burn the manure and very few sold the manure to traders or cash crop producers. Around 70 % of the interviewed households apply the cattle manure on their own crops (mainly rice and cassava). For chicken manure it was 83 % of the chicken keeping households and chicken manure was used mainly in the home garden. Main reasons for not using the manure are time consuming and hard work needed to collect, transport and apply the manure compared to the easy application of chemical fertiliser. Secondly, some respondents were complaining about more weeds growing in the field after applying manure. Especially storage and processing practices have potential for improvement. By for example protecting the storage sites from weathering with a simple roof the loss of nutrients could be reduced. Furthermore, composting of manure would diminish its volume and make the transport and application easier. By improving the present practices some of the problems mentioned by the respondents as reasons for not applying manure on their crops would already be solved.

description: Arabunnachiltonia n. gen.
Type species: Arabunnachiltonia murphyi n. sp.
Diagnosis. Antenna 1 peduncular article 1 with ventral spine. Coxae 1-4 as long as pereon segments are deep. Pereopod 4 coxa with a sloped, indistinct proximal corner. Uropod 1 inner ramus with robust seta at mid length, outer ramous without seta at midlength. Uropod 2 peduncle dorsal margin with up to six setae along entire length; inner ramus with robust seta at mid length, outer ramous without seta at midlength. Gnathopod 2 propodus with proximal lobe covering distal margin of carpus; ventral-distal corner not distinctly marked with a robust seta on each of the inner and outer faces (all setae are similarly sized to those along ventral distal margin (adjacent to dactylus).
Etymology. Named for the indigenous Arabunna people of the Lake Eyre region.
Remarks. This genus can be readily distinguished from Wangiannachiltonia n. gen., by the gnathopod 2 propodus of males with a long propodus, uropod 1 peduncle with a row of five to seven robust setae, a robust ventral seta on antenna 1 peduncular article 1, and the lack of a distinct excavated proximal corner on coxal plate 4. Arabunnachiltonia n. gen. shares the robust ventral seta on antenna 1 with Austrochiltonia and Phreatochiltonia and coxal plate 4 shape with Phreatochiltonia but is distinguished from by them by the relatively unadorned uropod 2 with robust setae at the ends of the rami and at mid length on the inner ramous only (not with setae along the lengths of both rami). The genus is found in only two spring groups in the central Lake Eyre region (Strangways and Francis Swamp).

description: Sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations are at an increased risk of experiencing verbal, physical, and/or sexual victimization, and this risk is even higher for SGM individuals who also identify as racial/ethnic minorities. Victimization can lead to worse outcomes in SGM people of color when compared to their White, heterosexual, and cisgender counterparts. To address limitations in the literature, this study examined the associations between two forms of victimization, intimate partner victimization and non-intimate partner victimization, and risk of harmful substance use in SGM young people of color (POC). The moderating roles of resilience and loneliness on these associations were also explored. Secondary data analyses were conducted using the American College Health Association National College Health Assessment Spring 2021 dataset (N = 96,489) which consisted of a subsample of approximately 8,584 SGM young adults of color (ages 18-25). Significant associations were found between intimate partner victimization and risk for harmful alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis use as well as non-intimate partner victimization and risk for harmful alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, and hallucinogen use. Furthermore, resilience was found to serve as a potential protective factor as it significantly moderated the relationship between non-intimate partner victimization and risk for harmful alcohol use. Loneliness was not a significant moderator of the associations between victimization and all substance use outcomes. Overall, these findings highlight the debilitating consequences of victimization when it comes to hazardous substance use in SGM POC young adults and emphasizes the need for the development of additional research and interventions to address the health and well-being of this population.

description: Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial disease caused by the bacillus Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb). Known for its ability to cause pulmonary (and other organ-based and multisystem) destruction, this contagion has been causing great mortality and morbidity among global populations for thousands of years (Barberis et al., 2017). In fact, 25% of the global population (approximately two billion people) is infected with M.tb, with over 10 million falling ill with active TB (referring to when M.tb causes infection) annually (World Health Organization, 2022). Being one of the oldest illnesses in the history of mankind, TB has yet to be eradicated despite decades of intercontinental efforts by researchers (Barberis et al., 2017; World Health Organization, 2022). To further efforts in eradicating TB, researchers have been relying on transcriptomic research to identify bio-markers and gene signatures that can accurately identify patients diagnosed with active TB, as current TB diagnostics are lacking. This research identifies a neutrophilic bio-marker consisting of five genes. This signature was used to develop a classification system predicting active TB with nearly 80% accuracy. If proven useful and generalizable in a clinical setting, diagnostic assessments of TB can be potentially improved.

Das Auge komponiert: Die graphischen Pläne von Hermann Meier

description: Der Solothurner Komponist Hermann Meier (1906–2002) verfolgte in seinem Schaffen visionäre Ideen. In den 1950er Jahren löste er sich von bekannten Verfahren der Avantgarde und imaginierte anhand grossformatiger Kompositionspläne seine «Mondrian-Musik», eine musikalische «Architektonik mit Rechtecksfeldern». Zeit seines Lebens kaum aufgeführt, wird Meier heute als wichtiger Vertreter der Avantgarde in der Schweiz entdeckt. Der Komponist Hermann Meier war ein ebenso eigenwilliger wie origineller Künstler. Obschon er als Dorfschullehrer im abgelegenen Zullwil (Kanton Solothurn) lebte, verfolgte er die aktuellen Kunstströmungen mit grösster Aufmerksamkeit. Ausgehend von einer eigenen seriellen Theorie löste Meier sich in den 1950er Jahren von melodischen Kompositionsverfahren und arbeitete mit hart geschnittenen Klangflächen. Im hohen Alter konzipierte er jahrelang ausschliesslich elektronische Werke. Konstant blieb jedoch seine stark visuell geprägte Arbeitsweise: Meier kreierte zahlreiche grossformatige Kompositionspläne, die er in weiteren Arbeitsgängen «vertonte». Damit liefert sein Werk aufschlussreiches Vergleichsmaterial für die Auseinandersetzung mit der Musik des 20. Jahrhunderts und mit graphischen Notationsweisen. Diese erste Dokumentation von Meiers Schaffen veranschaulicht seine kompositorische Praxis mit über hundert, grösstenteils farbigen Abbildungen. Hinzu kommen zwölf werk- und kontextbezogene Essays, Auszüge aus Meiers Arbeitstagebüchern und ein Interview mit Interpreten; ergänzt wird der Band durch ein Werkverzeichnis und ein detailliertes Inventar der im Nachlass erhaltenen Quellen. Damit dient er als Handbuch zu Hermann Meier und gibt Einblick in ein bisher unbehandeltes Kapitel der Schweizer Musikgeschichte, dessen Entdeckung sich lohnt.
Influence of pulse duration in the pico- and femtosecond regime on the absorptance and specific removal rate (Conference Presentation)

description: In ultra-short pulsed laser micromachining of metals shorter pulses generally lead to higher throughput e.g. for copper the specific removal rate drops to about 25 % if the pulse duration is raised from 10 ps to 50 ps and it is increases by about 35 % for a decreased pulse duration of 350 fs. In contrast, a significantly higher increase of 100 % was observed for stainless steel AISI 304 when the pulse duration is decreased from 10 ps to 350 fs, whereas the drop for the longer pulse duration of 50 ps was of the same order of magnitude as for copper. Recent results of a two-pulse burst experiment on copper with temporal varying intra-burst pulse distance have shown, that pulse distances from 10 ps to 100 fs cause only a slight increase in efficiency of approximately 10 % whereas for pulse distances from 10 ps to 500 ps the efficiency is reduced to nearly 50 %. Although, these factors differ from the well-studied pulse duration experiments, they show a similar tendency. Therefore, we assume a dominant common cause. In literature the diminished efficiency is often referred to particle- or plasma shielding for tens of picoseconds pulse durations. In this sense, the ablation of the material during the pulse is faded by itself for longer pulses as well as the ablation of the material from the first pulse is restricted by the second pulse in the burst experiments. Additional investigations concerning reflection and calorimetric considerations will help to underline this hypothesis.

description: The purpose of this study was to analyse the effect of bike type – the 26-inch-wheel bike (26“ bike) and the 29-inch-wheel bike (29“ bike) – on performance in elite mountain bikers. Ten Swiss National Team athletes (seven males, three females) completed six trials with individual start on a simulated cross-country course with 35 min of active recovery between trials (three trials on a 26“ bike and three trials on a 29“ bike, alternate order, randomised start-bike). The course consisted of two separate sections expected to favour either the 29“ bike (section A) or the 26“ bike (section B). For each trial performance, power output, cadence and heart rate were recorded and athletes’ experiences were documented. Mean overall performance (time: 304 ± 27 s vs. 311 ± 29 s; P < 0.01) and performance in sections A (P < 0.001) and B (P < 0.05) were better when using the 29“ bike. No significant differences were observed for power output, cadence or heart rate. Athletes rated the 29“ bike as better for performance in general, passing obstacles and traction. The 29“ bike supports superior performance for elite mountain bikers, even on sections supposed to favour the 26“ bike.

(Figs. 14–24)
Type locality: Nova Scotia, Canada.
Diagnosis and description by McDunnough, 1949:672–673; pl. 31 figs. 23– 24 adult; text fig. 17D male and female genitalia. Redescription by Bolte, 1990:653–654; figs. 33 map; 123 male; 124 female; 191a–b male antenna; 202a–b female antenna; 212i–j lateral view adult head; 221c–d pupal terminal segment; 258 genitalia.
Discussion. This species is included so that comparisons can be made to E. nonanticaria described subsequently. Adults (Figs. 14–17), male genitalia (Figs.18–22), and female genitalia (Figs. 23–24) are illustrated. Not illustrated in the male genitalia are the well-developed hairpencils and dorsoventrally bifid uncus. E. anticaria occurs from eastern Newfoundland across Canada to western British Columbia, south to northern New Mexico and Apache and Coconino counties, Arizona, with adults from mid-May into July. Bolte (1990) placed anticaria and graefi (Hulst) in his revised mutata group, while McDunnough (1949) included anticaria in his undesignated species-group, but associated with graefi.

description: Student belonging is a significant predictor of academic achievement (Ordaz & Mosqueda, 2021). According to the 2021 Youth Risk Behavior (YRB) Data Summary & Trends Report: 2011-2021, 61% of high school students felt close to people (friends, teachers, staff members, and administrators) at school. Utilizing principles of intersectionality as the critical theoretical framework, this studysought to understand the impact of professional development related to incorporating an intersectional lens into culturally responsive teaching (CRT) on the way(s) teachers engage in lesson internalization. Data were collected through a pre-intervention survey and Curriculum Ideology Inventory (Schiro, 2012), pre- and post-intervention interviews, participant reflexivity journals, and a post professional development series impact survey. As a result, a lesson internalization guide was created that centers CRT practices and principles of intersectionality. The results of this study suggested that school leader knowledge and capacity to leadprofessional development on CRT and intersectionality with their teachers are crucial. Recommendations included enhancing school leader capacity to deliver professional development sessions on CRT and principles of intersectionality, utilizing a tool to support CRT and intersectional lesson internalization practices, and leveraging critical reflection as an entry point to meaningful and positive change.

description: Study design Single-centre, two-parallel group, methodological randomised controlled trial to assess blinding feasibility. Background Trials of manual therapy interventions of the back face methodological challenges regarding blinding feasibility and success. We assessed the feasibility of blinding an active manual soft tissue mobilisation and control intervention of the back. We also assessed whether blinding is feasible among outcome assessors and explored factors influencing perceptions about intervention assignment. Methods On 7–8 November 2022, 24 participants were randomly allocated (1:1 ratio) to active or control manual interventions of the back. The active group (n = 11) received soft tissue mobilisation of the lumbar spine. The control group (n = 13) received light touch over the thoracic region with deep breathing exercises. The primary outcome was blinding of participants immediately after a one-time intervention session, as measured by the Bang blinding index (Bang BI). Bang BI ranges from –1 (complete opposite perceptions of intervention received) to 1 (complete correct perceptions), with 0 indicating ‘random guessing’—alanced ‘active’ and ‘control’ perceptions within an intervention arm. Secondary outcomes included blinding of outcome assessors and factors influencing perceptions about intervention assignment among both participants and outcome assessors, explored via thematic analysis. Results 24 participants were analysed following an intention-to-treat approach. 55% of participants in the active manual soft tissue mobilisation group correctly perceived their group assignment beyond chance immediately after intervention (Bang BI: 0.55 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.25 to 0.84]), and 8% did so in the control group (0.08 [95% CI, −0.37 to 0.53]). Bang BIs in outcome assessors were 0.09 (−0.12 to 0.30) and −0.10 (−0.29 to 0.08) for active and control participants, respectively. Participants and outcome assessors reported varying factors related to their perceptions about intervention assignment.
Dynamique d'investissement et efficience dans le secteur de l'éducation privée au Maroc : évaluation de la résistance alignée sur la vision stratégique

description: The Moroccan educational landscape is undergoing a notable transformation, particularly in terms of integrating French-language education into both public and private schools. This evolution is largely influenced by political frameworks and legislative initiatives aimed at improving the quality and accessibility of education. This article explores these changes by focusing on the dichotomy between the country's public and private educational institutions, which exhibit considerable disparities. In general, private schools offer a more comprehensive curriculum and better resources, leading to favorable academic outcomes for students. In contrast, public schools are often burdened by overcrowding, limited resources, and inconsistent teacher training. It is essential to recognize these disparities as they contribute to inequalities in educational opportunities. The variation in educational quality between public and private schools can lead to long-term societal consequences. Students enrolled in private institutions have better access to higher education, which may reinforce existing social privileges. Conversely, those attending public schools often face significant obstacles that hinder their ability to reach their full potential.

description: Socio-demographic gaps in college attainment and completion are troubling, as postsecondary education improves labor market outcomes and facilitates upward socioeconomic mobility. It is important, then, to identify the credible interventions available to policymakers and college and university administrators that might close socio-demographic gaps in postsecondary educational success, particularly once students have matriculated. Academic advising constitutes one class of potentially beneficial interventions; as such programs provide information, guidance, and general support to students who lack these resources in their familial and social networks. This dissertation contains three empirical studies examining the factors important to whether students participate in academic advising, and what effects, if any, this participation has on their educational outcomes.

description: In 2022, more than 1,600 United States Air Force Airmen reported a sexual assault, according to a Pentagon report. On the US Air Force page of the online forum Reddit, members spread and sustain misinformation about false reports of sexual harassment and assault, offering up rumors, anecdotes, and hypothetical reasoning for why women would make false allegations. This study examines how the architecture, rules, and norms of Reddit mediate the proliferation of sexual assault misinformation on the USAF Reddit page. Using critical technocultural discourse analysis, I apply lenses of critical theories of online misogyny and misinformation to coded observations from ten years of false allegation posts. The results of this research find that the discourse--and the site features that shape and are shaped by it-- map onto the framework of DARVO [deny, attack, reverse victim and offender], a reactionary tactic of perpetrators of abuse. Implications of these findings offer suggested improvements for Sexual Assault Prevention and Response training and new training on the threat of online misinformation.
