description: Public Administration and democracy represent two expressions of the same hendiadys indissolubly connected with constitutional democracy. Among the many reasons that support this orientation, a prominent role derives from the need to involve citizens in the action of the public administration to broaden its legitimacy and from the democratic formation of the actors of the bureaucratic apparatus, destined to play fundamental roles in the process of transformation of political decisions into administrative acts. Furthermore, the "political" function tout court that the public official can perform at the top levels cannot be neglected, when he directly directs the administrative process in symbiosis with those who exercise the government function. It must be considered that in Western democracies - especially of French and Italian culture - the contiguity between the bureaucratic elite and politics often leads to the use of the "revolving door" that conveys (in France through the training course of ENA, in Italy through technical governments) public officials from the role covered in the bureaucracy directly to that of government. The centrality of the Public Administration in an evolutionary key of democracies is clearly present in the Weltanschauung of the EU and is also reaffirmed in the extraordinary plan approved on 17 December 2020, the Recovery Plan, aimed at financing a recovery project over the seven-year period 2021 / 2027, providing direct support from member countries after the dramatic crisis caused by covid-19. The long-term budget, which provides for flexibility mechanisms, will also be able to rely on the temporary instrument represented by the Next Generation EU, for an amount of resources equal to 1800 billion euros in order to make Europe "greener, digital and resilient ". Of these 73.1 billion are destined for the Public Administration. In this context, the essay proposes a reflection on the link between bureaucracy and democratic culture, a reflection on the role of training in the PA in perspective, looking at a reference basin wider than the EU borders, namely the Mediterranean, which has long been the subject of attention and interventions by the EU institutions.

description: Due to the dynamic nature of vehicular traffic and the road surroundings, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) propagation characteristics vary greatly on both small- and large-scale. Recent measurements have shown that both large static objects (e.g., buildings and foliage) as well as mobile objects (surrounding vehicles) have a profound impact on V2V communication. At the same time, system-level Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) simulators by and large employ simple statistical propagation models, which do not account for surrounding objects explicitly. We designed GEMV$^2$ (Geometry-based Efficient propagation Model for V2V communication), which uses outlines of vehicles, buildings, and foliage to distinguish the following three types of links: line of sight (LOS), non-LOS due to vehicles, and non- LOS due to static objects. For each link, GEMV$^2$ calculates the large-scale signal variations deterministically, whereas the small- scale signal variations are calculated stochastically based on the number and size of surrounding objects. We implement GEMV$^2$ in MATLAB and show that it scales well by using it to simulate radio propagation for city-wide networks with tens of thousands of vehicles on commodity hardware. We make the source code of GEMV$^2$ freely available. Finally, we validate GEMV$^2$ against extensive measurements performed in urban, suburban, highway, and open space environment.

description: We analyze the stability of micro-domains of ligand-receptor bonds that mediate the adhesion of biological model membranes. After evaluating the effects of membrane fluctuations on the binding affinity of a single bond, we characterize the organization of bonds within the domains by theoretical means. In a large range of parameters, we find the commonly suggested dense packing to be separated by a free energy barrier from a regime in which bonds are sparsely distributed. If bonds are mobile, a coexistence of the two regimes should emerge, which agrees with recent experimental observations.

Creators: name: Dervishi, Dashnor
Publisher: name: Euro-Balkan Law and Economics Review
Year: 2021

description: In his first book of the series “50 Years of Foreign Relations”, Ambassador Dashnor Dervishi covers his experience encompassing the period 1972-1992. The events and observations depicted in the book highlight the fact that despite the social system and the interests of the political class in power, the strategic interests of the country remain the fundamentals of its foreign policy. The relations of the Party-State with the leftist movements in Latin America during 1970-80 were driven by the power that had its influence in Albania at that period. Aware of its actions, the political leadership followed the conjunctures for the preservation of power, thus ensuring vital aid for the finances and economy of the country, as well as the international support of conjectural alliances. Most of the book comprises the memoirs of the Ambassador in Italy, in the period 1988-1992. It was a time, when right after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the demarcation line between the two blocs during the Cold War, was displaced from the Adriatic Sea to the Black Sea and Albania became part of the social system it belonged to. Under the new circumstances, the political rapport between Italy and Albania assumed a more “geographic dimension” and Rome became the main point of reference for all the relations with the West. Italy became the “promised land” of the Albanians, making a reality of the expression “All roads lead to Rome”. The departure of Popa family to Italy, after a 5-year long refuge in the Italian embassy (1985-1990), was followed by mass inundation of the embassies in Tirana, a biblical departure of more than 25 thousand Albanians towards the Italian shores, on 13 July of the same year. The first “secret” meetings with religious and lay representatives, enabled the visit of Saint Tereza of Calcutta in Albania and the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Holy See. This period in Italy was characterized by the intensification of unprecedented relations between Albania and Italy in all fields. After 22 March1992, the democratic system was established in Albania. Under the new conditions, the role and the position of Albania in the European and Regional arena did not change and the non-productive idea of the country’s leadership that the West and the US need us, fueled the old mentality: “We govern and the world helps us”.

description: The interplay between the collective dynamics of the quadrupole and octupole deformation degree of freedom is discussed in a series of Sm and Gd isotopes both at the mean field level and beyond, including parity symmetry restoration and configuration mixing. Physical properties like negative parity excitation energies, E1 and E3 transition probabilities are discussed and compared to experimental data. Other relevant intrinsic quantities like dipole moments, ground state quadrupole moments or correlation energies associated to symmetry restoration and configuration mixing are discussed. For the considered isotopes, the quadrupole-octupole coupling is found to be weak and most of the properties of negative parity states can be described in terms of the octupole degree of freedom alone.

description:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a six-week augmented eccentric load program on rate of force development (RFD), center of pressure (COP) excursion and performance in the five-time-sit-to-stand (STS-5) in older adults. Eighteen moderately active older adults, (≥ 60 years) participated in this study. Subjects were separated into two groups; one group added augmented eccentric training in addition to resistance training (AEL) and a resistance training only group (RT). The AEL group participated in a six-week AEL training program that consisted of six lower extremity body exercises. Eccentric phases of each exercise movement were augmented beginning with no weight and increasing by five percent weekly up to 20 percent body weight. AEL group improved the time to complete the clinical STS-5 fall risk assessment test by -2.21 ± 1.50 s, p = 0.03. AEL demonstrated a significant increase in the RFD moving from 785 ± 176 N·s-1 to 1041 ± 187 N·s-1 (p = 0.02) during chair rising. AEL showed significant improvements in M-L and (A-P) excursion from right foot during quiet standing, 0.075 ± 0.07 m to 0.003 ± 0.01 m and 0.157 ± 0.11 to 0.005 ± 0.01. AEL improved M-L excursion in right foot and A-P excursion of left foot compared to baseline, 0.457 ± 0.20 m to 0.012 ± 0.00 m, p =0.002 and 0.465 ± 0.15 m to 0.013 ± 0.01 m, p = 0.0001. Therefore, AEL training may be a beneficial exercise prescription for older adults.

description: We report the discovery of a peculiar horizontal branch (HB) in NGC 6440 and NGC 6569, two massive and metal-rich Galactic globular clusters (GGCs) located in the Galactic bulge, within 4 kpc from the Galactic Center. In both clusters, two distinct clumps are detected at the level of the cluster HB, separated by only ~ 0.1 magnitudes in the Ks band. They were detected with IR photometric data collected with the "VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea" (VVV) Survey, and confirmed in independent IR catalogs available in the literature, and HST optical photometry. Our analysis demonstrates that these clumps are real cluster features, not a product of field contamination or interstellar reddening. The observed split HBs could be a signature of two stellar sub-populations with different chemical composition and/or age, as recently found in Terzan 5, but it cannot be excluded that they are caused by evolutionary effects, in particular for NGC 6440. This interpretation, however, requires an anomalously high helium content (Y > 0.30). Our discovery suggests that such a peculiar HB morphology could be a common feature of massive, metal-rich bulge GGCs.

title: Three-Dimensional Numerical Modeling of a Scroll Vortex Intake
Creators: name: Chan, S. N.
Publisher: name: International Junior Researcher and Engineer Workshop on Hydraulic Structures
Year: 2019

description: Scroll vortex intakes are vortex drop structures commonly used in water supply, drainage and sewerage systems, characterized by a vortex chamber with its wall curling inwards to the dropshaft and a horizontal bottom. The stormwater flows into the intake via an eccentrical approach channel, which imparts vortex motion to the flow, forming a swirling vortex flow with a stable air core through the center of dropshaft. Over past decades, much effort has been devoted to investigating the scroll intake vortex flow, yet the understanding and predictions of the vortex flow is still far from complete due to a lack of detailed investigation on its velocity field and air core characteristics. In this work, a three-dimensional (3D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model using the Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) method is used for investigating the complex flow of a scroll vortex intake. The CFD model predictions are validated with detailed flow profile, flow velocity and air core measurements on a physical hydraulic model. It is found that the vortex flow in the scroll chamber resembles a free vortex and the circulation is approximately equal to that at the inlet to the chamber, with a thin bottom boundary layer. For the vortex flow at the bellmouth outlet, the tangential velocity distribution satisfies a Rankine vortex. Furthermore, the vortex flow at the bellmouth outlet possesses a circulation constant which is smaller than that in the chamber.

description: We report on the focusing and guiding of the van der Waals complex formed between benzonitrile molecules (C$_6$H$_5$CN) and argon atoms in a cold molecular beam using an ac electric quadrupole guide. The distribution of quantum states in the guided beam is non-thermal, because the transmission efficiency depends on the state-dependent effective dipole moment in the applied electric fields. At a specific ac frequency, however, the excitation spectrum can be described by a thermal distribution at a rotational temperature of 0.8 K. From the observed transmission characteristics and a combination of trajectory and Stark-energy calculations we conclude that the permanent electric dipole moment of benzonitrile remains unchanged upon the attachment of the argon atom to within \pm5%. By exploiting the different dipole-moment-to-mass (μ/m) ratios of the complex and the benzonitrile monomer, transmission can be selectively suppressed for or, in the limit of 0 K rotational temperature, restricted to the complex.

description: We consider the proportional fair rate allocation in an 802.11 WLAN that supports multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) transmission by one or more stations. We characterise, for the first time, the proportional fair allocation of MU-MIMO spatial streams and station transmission opportunities. While a number of features carry over from the case without MU-MIMO, in general neither flows nor stations need to be allocated equal airtime when MU-MIMO is available.

description: NGC 1266 is a nearby field galaxy observed as part of the ATLAS3D survey (Cappellari et al. 2011). NGC 1266 has been shown to host a compact (< 200 pc) molecular disk and a mass-loaded molecular outflow driven by the AGN (Alatalo et al. 2011). Very Long Basline Array (VLBA) observations at 1.65 GHz revealed a compact (diameter < 1.2 pc), high bright- ness temperature continuum source most consistent with a low-level AGN origin. The VLBA continuum source is positioned at the center of the molecular disk and may be responsible for the expulsion of molecular gas in NGC 1266. Thus, the candidate AGN-driven molecular outflow in NGC 1266 supports the picture in which AGNs do play a significant role in the quenching of star formation and ultimately the evolution of the red sequence of galaxies.

description: It is known that scattering of radiation by circumstellar dust can strongly change the line profiles in stellar spectra. This hampers the analysis of spectral lines originating in the emitting regions of heavily obscured young stars. To calculate the line profile of the scattered radiation, we suggest to use the approximation of remote scattering particles. This approximation assumes that the scattering dust grains are at a distance from the star that is much larger than the characteristic size of the emitting region. Using this method, we calculated the line profiles of several simple models. They show the H alpha line profiles of Herbig AeBe stars in the presence and absence of motionless or moving dust.

description: In recent years, the significant increase in arrivals of migrants from the so-called Balkan Route has generated, at the same time, the implementation of direct or indirect refoulement mechanisms by the States affected by the transit or arrival of third country citizens, lacking permits to enter the territory of the European Union but mostly in need of international protection or belonging to vulnerable groups, such as the unaccompanied minors. More in detail, the States, including Italy, on whose practices the article focuses, have implemented or made operational bilateral readmission agreements with neighboring States deliberately ignoring the guarantees that the Euro-unitary legislation had in the meantime introduced and made binding for the Member States as well as those, pre-existing, of the Geneva Convention relating to the status of refugees of 1951. In retracing the approach of the Italian authorities in the implementation of readmissions and rejections of foreign citizens, ostentatious, at least initially, in operations on the Italian eastern border towards Slovenia, and (poorly) hidden from the Adriatic ports, the article proposes some reflections on the main profiles of illegitimacy of these operations and on the effectiveness of the legal protection of the persons concerned who, lacking written documents on the procedure applied and in the face of mechanisms for identifying and storing personal data that are not transparent or accessible to the parties, as well as due to the frequent failure to comply with the obligations of information on access to the international protection examination procedure, becomes extremely labile and uncertain.

description: The current migratory situation, which affects the whole of Europe, requires the preparation of new community rules, also in light of the numbers that have increasingly characterized migratory flows between 2019 and 2021. The New Pact on emigration, prepared by the Commission European Union and approved in October 2020, is a new starting point. The New Pact provides for a more certain procedure (at least apparently) so that before entering the EU territory, identification, health checks, security checks and fingerprinting in the EURODAC database can be carried out. Subsequently, thanks to an integrated and modern system of migration and border management and with the improvement of the EURODAC database, it will be possible to examine the single position in the best possible way, facilitating relocation, improving the monitoring of returns and favoring departure. voluntary and reintegration. On 27 April 2021, in the press release published, the Commission informed that it had adopted the first EU strategy on voluntary returns and reintegration. However, the New Pact still presents important critical issues in the management of migratory crisis situations that can cause the contraction of the rights of migrants in general with serious repercussions on people's freedom due to the expansion of forms of detention and confinement. Furthermore, there are no guarantees on the speed of the procedures in order to avoid the forced detention of people.

An Elemental Highway: Investigation of a High Nickel Anomaly in Olivine from the Island of Niihau, Hawaii
Creators: name: Valentine, Alexander James
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2017

description: The study of volcanic geochemistry is one of the main gateways for investigating the Earth's mantle. One important topic in the field is that of nickel (Ni) in the mineral olivine. While Ni is a compatible element in olivine, its high concentration at a given MgO content is not well understood. A variety of hypotheses have been proposed, including attributing presence of Ni to pyroxenite source melting, contribution from the core, or variation in peridotite source melting. In addition to the other hypotheses, chemical diffusion may also be a mechanism for enriching olivine Ni concentration. Magnesium-iron (Mg-Fe) isotopic measurements have been proposed as a test to see whether chemical diffusion occurs in olivine. Therefore, by taking Mg-Fe isotopic measurements of olivines, high Ni concentration in olivine can be attributed to either chemical diffusion or one of the other hypotheses.
         To qualify which process led to Ni enrichment in olivine, this project analyzed olivines from basalt samples from the Hawaiian islands of Niihau, Kahoolawe, and Hawaii for major elemental and Mg-Fe isotopic content. Major elemental data have shown that Ni concentration at a given MgO content from olivines of the late-shield Paniau formation on Niihau is highest compared to global data. Mg-Fe isotopic data have shown that the olivines from Niihau follow diffusion models, indicating that chemical diffusion led to a high Ni concentration at a given MgO content. ~27 years of magmatic calibration at Niihau has been estimated by applying a diffusion model to in-situ data of an olivine phenocryst.
Analog and Mixed Signal Verification using Satisfiability Solver on Discretized Models
Creators: name: Wanjale, Nikita Ramesh
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2017

description: With increasing demand of performance constraints and the ever reducing size of the IC chips, analog and mixed-signal designs have become indispensable and increasingly complex in modern CMOS technologies. This has resulted in the rise of stochastic behavior in circuits, making it important to detect all the corner cases and verify the correct functionality of the design under all circumstances during the earlier stages of the design process. It can be achieved by functional or formal verification methods, which are still widely unexplored for Analog and Mixed-Signal (AMS) designs.
         Design Verification is a process to validate the performance of the system in accordance with desired specifications. Functional verification relies on simulating different combinations of inputs for maximum state space coverage. With the exponential increase in the complexity of circuits, traditional functional verification techniques are getting more and more inadequate in terms of exhaustiveness of the solution. Formal verification attempts to provide a mathematical proof for the correctness of the design regardless of the circumstances. Thus, it is possible to get 100% coverage using formal verification. However, it requires advanced mathematics knowledge and thus is not feasible for all applications.
         In this thesis, we present a technique for analog and mixed-signal verification targeting DC verification using Berkeley Short-channel Igfet Models (BSIM) for approximation. The verification problem is first defined using the state space equations for the given circuit and applying Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) solver to determine a region that encloses complete DC equilibrium of the circuit. The technique is applied to an example circuit and the results are analyzed in turns of runtime effectiveness.

A Potential Solution to a Poopy Problem: Bile Salt Analogs as Prophylactics Against Clostridium Difficile Infection

description: Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is a major cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea. In 2011, over 500,000 patients were diagnosed with CDI in the United States and over 29,000 people died of CDI-related complications. With an average of $35,000 to treat a single case of inpatient CDI, cost burden to the healthcare system can reach up to $3.2 billion annually. As both hospital- and community-acquired CDI incidences rise due to the emergence of hypervirulent strains and CDI reoccurrences of up to 25%, standard treatments are rendered less effective and new methods of prevention are critical.
         CDI is caused by bacteria called Clostridium difficile. A key characteristic of Clostridium difficile is its ability to form tough and dormant structures called spores. The spores' dormant nature allows them to survive in the gastrointestinal tract of susceptible patients without showing any signs of infection. When the spores are under stress, they can germinate into toxin-producing cells that cause symptomatic infection.
         Clostridium difficile spore germination is promoted by the bile salt taurocholate with the amino acid glycine. Another naturally-occurring bile salt called chenodeoxycholate (CDCA) can compete with taurocholate to inhibit spore germination. These bile salts are regulated by the indigenous gut microbiota. However, for patients who are immunocompromised or who have recently taken antibiotics, the composition of natural intestinal microflora can become altered, making bile salt regulation much less efficient, thus allowing spore germination to occur.
         Previously, CamSA, a synthetic bile salt analog of taurocholate, was found to be a more potent germination inhibitor than CDCA when tested against epidemic type X strain 630. Currently, a new analog called 07C revealed to be a stronger germination inhibitor than CamSA in strain 630 as well as in various other strains. Plated germination inhibition assays showed that 07C inhibited spore germination in several strains of C. difficile using less than 50 _M of compound. Furthermore, mice challenged with each of the C. difficile strains had significantly reduced CDI symptoms or were completely protected from CDI symptoms when given three doses of 50 mg/kg 07C. From these explorations, bile salt analogs have the potential to serve as CDI prophylactic treatments in antibiotic-treated patients.

description: Cement concrete manholes are generally used in sewer networks in the United States. However, these concrete manholes are highly vulnerable to chemical corrosion and require frequent maintenance and replacement. Polymer concrete manholes as a substitute to the cement concrete manholes in water and wastewater pipelines have proved to have longer service life and more resistance to various chemical corrosions than normal concrete manholes. Despite the benefits that polymer concrete manholes offer, the higher initial installation cost has been a barrier to its wide application in public works. This study has been conducted to compare the cost of cement concrete manholes and polymer concrete manholes installed in the city of Las Vegas to determine the cost-effective alternative based on incurred cost throughout service life. The cost information on installation and rehabilitation of manholes were collected from the Clark County Water Reclamation District, the public entity responsible for construction and maintenance of sewer networks in the city of Las Vegas. The scope of this study was limited to the comparison between installation cost and rehabilitation cost of cement concrete manholes, comparison of installation costs between cement concrete and polymer concrete manholes, and comparison of installation and rehabilitation costs between cement concrete and polymer concrete manholes of different diameters. The results showed that the rehabilitation cost was significantly lower than the installation cost of 48-inch diameter cement concrete manholes. However, in case of 60-inch and 72-inch cement concrete manholes, the rehabilitation cost and installation cost were not significantly different. The installation cost of polymer concrete manholes was found significantly higher than that of cement concrete manholes. However, the installation and rehabilitation cost of polymer concrete manholes with a service life of 50 years and cement concrete manholes with a service life of 23 years were not significantly different. Hence, the cost comparisons indicated that the use of polymer concrete manholes is cost-effective in the long term compared to the traditional concrete manholes. The study suggests the use of polymer concrete manholes in sewer network despite the higher initial installation cost.

description: RATIONALE: Interactions between early life and adult insults on lung function decline are not well understood, with most studies investigating pre-bronchodilator (BD) FEV1 decline. OBJECTIVE: To investigate relationships between adult risk factors and pre- and post-BD lung function decline and their potential effect modification by early life and genetic factors. METHODS: Multiple regression was used to examine associations between adult exposures (asthma, smoking, occupational exposures, traffic pollution and obesity) and decline in both pre- and post-BD spirometry (FEV1, FVC and FEV1/FVC) between ages 45 to 53 years in the Tasmanian Longitudinal Health Study (n=857). Effect modification of these relationships by childhood respiratory risk factors including low childhood lung function, and glutathione S-transferase (GST) gene polymorphisms was investigated. RESULTS: Baseline asthma, smoking, occupational exposure to vapours/gases/dusts/fumes (VGDF) and living close to traffic were associated with accelerated decline in both pre- and post-BD FEV1. These factors were also associated with FEV1/FVC decline. Occupational exposure to aromatic solvents was associated with pre-BD but not post-BD FEV1 decline. Maternal smoking accentuated the effect of personal smoking on pre- and post-BD FEV1 decline. Lower childhood lung function and having the GSTM1 null allele accentuated the effect of occupational exposure to VGDF and personal smoking on post-BD FEV1 decline. Incident obesity was associated with accelerated decline in FEV1 and more pronounced in FVC. CONCLUSION: This study provides new evidence for accentuation of individual susceptibility to adult risk factors by low childhood lung function, GSTM1 genotype and maternal smoking.
This is the Place: Utah's gaming history and current attitude

description: Global gambling is what it is. It is global. Gambling has become an economic force to be reckoned with. It has spread to all corners of the globe, from Europe to North America to Asia. There are regions that have widely supported the introduction of gambling into their economy and society but there are also those that have shunned it, despite the clear economic advantages associated with gambling. The AGA estimated that total gambling revenue in the United States for 2012 was approximately $37.74 billion, with commercial casinos contributing approximately $8.6 billion to local communities via taxes (AGA, 2013c). This is a large and significant amount of money that is used to improve communities, build schools, build roads and continue important social programs that all members of the community enjoy.
However, not everyone in the United States has taken advantage of the opportunity presented to them via gambling despite the fact that according to the American Gaming Association approximately $13.2 billion in wages and tips were directly earned from gaming corporations (AGA, 2013c). Some argue that casinos and gambling in general corrupt the societies in which they are located. Ultimately leading to increases in crime as well as potential financial hardships due to gambling addictions.
The State of Utah is the final frontier for gambling in the United States. It is the only state in the 48 contiguous states that has no legal form of gambling. So, why is this? There are many factors that may be contributing to the current attitude toward gambling in Utah. At first glance, the most overwhelming factors may be cultural and/or sociological; however there may be more overwhelming factors such as economic and historical factors that may be contributing to the current state of gambling in the state of Utah.
It will be most important to understand what factors are contributing to Utah's gambling attitude in order for a potential licensee to overcome the hurdles that are preventing the introduction of gambling into Utah. There are a variety of gambling business frameworks and/or models that provide appropriate insight into successful regulated gambling that may be suitable for Utah. These models along with other suggestions will be discussed at length in this paper.
