The study aims to identify the reason behind the abrupt transfer of CCPOs of Lahore from 2018 to 2022. It examines the client-patron relation between these officers and political elites by reviewing literature, secondary data and through semi-structured interviews as well. It shows how public offices, specifically the police department, are politicized in Pakistan? The four elements given by Hicken in his theory of clientelism – are used to analyze the data collected through secondary sources and interviews. It is found that abrupt transfers of CCPOs of Lahore are politicized and not based on performance. The study shows the presence of client-patron relations between officers transferred to and from the CCPO post and political elites who controlled these transfers. On the basis of the findings, the following recommendations are made: political will, public participation, separation of power, non-politicization of police departments, societal changes, public awareness and merit-based promotion in order to rectify the situation.

Agriculture Officers working in Agriculture Department (Extension) are perceived lacking in professional competencies. One of the root causes of this problem lies in the mismatched eligibility criteria for the post of Agriculture Officer (Extension). The purpose of this paper was to discuss the relevancy of the Extension Agents’ competencies with their job responsibilities for policy implications. The universe of the study was Punjab Province of Pakistan. The cross-sectional design was used for the study. All Agriculture Officers (public extension agents) work in the Agriculture Department (Extension), Government of Punjab were the population of the study. Multistage simple random sampling technique was used for drawing the sample. A sample of 60 respondents was drawn from sampling frame by using simple random sampling technique. A desktop study was also conducted to analyze the contents offered to the currently eligible agricultural graduates during their pre-service training at the university level. Results showed that only 3.3% of the respondents had relevant pre-service training. About 58% of the Agriculture Officers (Extension) were not satisfied with their jobs and most of them were thinking to change their jobs. This study has practical implications for Punjab Public Service Commission, Lahore and Agriculture Department (Extension) Government of Punjab, Pakistan in particular. The research theorized that the duties of extension work should only be entrusted to the professionals having per-service training in agricultural extension. Otherwise, the efficiency of the agricultural extension system would be compromised. This is the first study of its kind in which the eligibility criteria of the Agriculture Officers (Extension) have been questioned in the Punjab, Pakistan. The finding and discourse of the study would initiate the debate among stakeholders to place right person for the right job. The materialization of study findings would enhance the efficiency of Agricultural Extension system.

‘South Asia’ in its present meaning was coined in the late 1940s following a reinterpretation of previous approaches to the study of the (ancient) Orient, which proved to be ill-suited under the conditions of the Second World War. The author of the concept was the American Indologist W. Norman Brown (1892–1975) who thus designated almost the entire territory of British India and founded the Department of South Asia Regional Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. This innovation led to the institutionalization of the modern socio-political disciplines essential for the familiarization with the area of the languages studied. Later this model spread to the educational institutions of the New World and reached the Old one. In the mid-1970s, the Chair of History of India, Pakistan, Nepal and Ceylon of the Institute of Countries of Asia and Africa of Moscow State University was renamed the Chair of History of South Asia, and 40 years later several units under the heading of ‘South Asia’ sprang up in several Russian academia. Part I sheds light on Brown’s activities in the US Office of Strategic Services and his contacts with the Institute of Pacific Relations, as well as the US reaction to the launch of the first Soviet satellite, the passage of the US National Defense Education Act, and the ‘cold war’ contest between the US and the USSR in the field of training specialists to be engaged as an instrument of influence on the post-colonial world structure within the South Asian countries.

Aims: To compare the intra-operative bleeding amount during the tonsillectomy operative procedure by using the monopolar electrocautery method versus the cold steel tonsillar dissector method, and to compare postoperative pain for the initial six hours in both groups. Study design: A randomized controlled trial Place and Duration: Departments of ORL (Otorhinolaryngology) and HNS, Kulsumbai Valika Social Security SITE Hospital, Karachi, and in Social Security Landhi Hospital Karachi, Pakistan from January 1st, 2021 to December 31st, 2021 Methodology: One hundred and twenty patients were selected for this study from the outpatient department of both hospitals and they were divided into two groups equally i.e. those patients who will be operated with monopolar electrocautery, included in group C and those patients who will be operated on with the cold steel dissection method by tonsillar dissector, was in group-D. After receiving written informed consent from the patients they were operated on as the first and second cases in each OT List. Blood loss was measured during the operative procedure and calculated by the number of blood-soaked gauzes and post-operative pain was measured by the VAS pain scale, the house officer, and resident doctors on the floor. Results: Females predominance was observed in this study, Female to a male ratio in Group C was 2:1, and in Group D it was 3:1 The Mean ± Standard Deviation of the ages were 11.75 ± 3.25 yrs. and 14.25 ± 3.70 yrs. in both groups. The mean blood loss during tonsillectomy was 16.70 ± 4.70 ml in Group C and 50.70 ± 30.50 in Group D, a statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups and the p-value was < 0.05. The mean time duration of tonsillectomy was 14.10 ± 2.5 minutes in Group C and 20.40 ± 3.50 in Group D. Practical implication: Nowadays monopolar electrocautery is used for tonsillectomy because in this method intraoperative bleeding is minimum and operative time is also short Conclusion: Intra-operative bleeding was minimum while tonsillectomy was done by monopolar cautery and postoperative pain was more in this method which was controlled by analgesics. Keywords: tonsillectomy, cold steel dissection, monopolar electrocautery, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative pain, PACU

Exploring the teachers’ perception regarding implementation of quality assurance practices at university level was the aim of the in hand research. The main objective was knowing about teachers’ awareness regarding components of quality assurance and their implementation at departments level in university of the Punjab. It was descriptive research based on cross-sectional survey design in nature by applying quantitative research approach. Population for the present study was comprised all public universities which were situated in Pakistan. Data was gathered from 300 teachers who were working in 36 departments of University of the Punjab who selected by applying purposive sampling technique via self-developed questionnaire. The gathered data was arranged, coded and entered into computer for analysis. Data was analyzed with the help of SPSS (V.22) software by applying inferential and descriptive statistics. It was found that majority of the teachers were well aware about written mission statement, quality assurance office at department level, and quality assurance office at university components but minority of them were not aware about quality assurance policy, quality manual, and hold of self-assessment periodically. It is recommended that HEC should advise university to arrange extra seminars, conferences and workshops at department/ institution level to reassure involvement for good practice of teaching and quality assurance practices.

Afghanistan that remained the epicenter of terrorism and insurgency in the post 9/11 incident, suffered irreparable loss in both human and infrastructure, is now heading towards an era of peace and political stability. The signing of the peace agreement on February 29, 2020 by both the US government and the Taliban is a great development for strengthening democratization and power-sharing among the stakeholders in Afghanistan. However, certain hurdles stand in the way of peace and stability. This paper discusses some of the key areas such as the dilemma of Afghan presidential elections, Pakistan’s controversial role, role of neighboring countries and the Indo-Afghan Nexus. Lacunae in the US-Taliban agreement to the exclusion of the Afghan government in the agreement and the threat of the ISIS are some of the other hurdles in bringing peace and stability in the country. Bargaining among the US and Taliban and the various stakeholders of Afghanistan is the only viable solution to the problem which provides the basis for theoretical framework.

It is not unusual for many a government in post-colonial states to tag themselves “socialist.” One such government was that of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto in Pakisian. Not only did Bhutto acquire the nomenclature Quaid-i-Awam which in Pakistani parlance implies leader of the masses, the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) which he led maintained a socialist posture in and out of government. Our intent in this paper is to undertake a review of Bhutto and the PPP's emergence in Pakistan, as well as the policy performance of Bhutto while in office. Consequent upon such a review, we intend to posit that Bhutto's rise to power was a result of infra-factional struggle within the propertied classes in Pakistan. And that socialism was merely expedient for such a struggle.

Pakistan-USA relations have witnessed many ups and downs throughout the history of their interaction. The elite press on both sides played an important role in shaping and re-shaping attitudes,policies, and public opinion over various bilateral and regional issues. Post 9/11 situation expanded the part of the press on both sides due to war on terror cooperation and subsequent developments. Regime changes in America or Pakistan are often perceived as a harbinger of new policy shifts with anticipations of a new era of bilateral relations. The last year of the PPP government in Pakistan witnessed re-election of Barack Obama for the second term, but Pakistan's upcoming elections were more speculative interms of office holder and the party. The scholar are divided about the role of the elite press in policy making and influencing the policy-making process through their content and issue projection.But the press on both sides published their approaches through editorials over a number of issues that could be major component of the upcoming government's policy-making process. War on terror,political discourse, religion, and politics remained choices for editorials for Daily Dawn and Washington Post during that period of time.

While much has been written on the Australian film and television
industry, little has been presented by actual producers,
filmmakers and technicians of their time and experiences within
that same industry. Similarly, with historical documentaries, it
has been academics rather than filmmakers who have led the
debate. This thesis addresses this shortcoming and bridges the
gap between practitioner experience and intellectual discussion,
synthesising the debate and providing an important contribution
from a filmmaker-academic, in its own way unique and insightful.
The thesis is presented in two voices. First, my voice, the
voice of memoir and recollected experience of my screen
adventures over 38 years within the Australian industry, mainly
producing historical documentaries for the ABC and the SBS. This
is represented in italics. The second half and the alternate
chapters provide the industry framework in which I worked with
particular emphasis on documentaries and how this evolved and
developed over a 40-year period, from 1970 to 2010.
Within these two voices are three layers against which this
history is reviewed and presented. Forming the base of the
pyramid is the broad Australian film industry made up of feature
films, documentary, television drama, animation and other types
and styles of production. Above this is the genre documentary
within this broad industry, and making up the small top tip of
the pyramid, the sub-genre of historical documentary. These form
the vertical structure within which industry issues are
discussed. Threading through it are the duel determinants of
production: ‘the market’ and ‘funding’.
Underpinning the industry is the involvement of government, both
state and federal, forming the three dimensional matrix for the
thesis. For over 100 years the Australian film industry has
depended on government support through subsidy, funding
mechanisms, development assistance, broadcast policy and
legislative provisions.
This thesis aims to weave together these industry layers, binding
them with the determinants of the market and funding, and
immersing them beneath layers of government legislation and
policy to present a new view of the Australian film industry.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
The United States (US) has always used its aid program as a
strategic lever in foreign policy. In the early days of aid, it
was used to prosecute the Cold War. Now aid supports the United
States in its effort to win the war on terror. Aid is used both
to pursue short-term or “realist” objectives (e.g., to win
support for US foreign policy goals) and long-term or
“nation-building” ones (e.g. to strengthen governance). The
trade-offs and tensions between these goals have been examined
for the Cold War period (e.g., Seitz 2012), but not the post 9/11
one.
This research takes a case-study approach and examines US aid to
Pakistan. It is based primarily on interviews with the Pakistani
and American elite collected in Pakistan between October 2011 and
October 2013 and the United States in March 2012.
The period of research (2011-2013) is one in which the Obama
Administration tried to pivot its relationship with Pakistan away
from a focus on realist objectives (principally, the war in
Afghanistan) towards nation-building ends, for example, through a
much larger civilian aid program to improve Pakistan’s
governance and the economy. This thesis examines the success of
that pivot, and argues it was limited, on three main grounds
First, both groups of elite view Pakistan’s challenges are
mostly nation-building in nature, and particularly related to its
economy (and, in the case of the Pakistani elite, internal
security needs). But both groups nevertheless perceive that the
US still primarily wants cooperation on countering terrorism and
in Afghanistan. Second, the leverage and goodwill that US aid
provides is seen to be undermined by the pursuit of its realist
objectives. Third, US aid is seen by many in the elite as
targeted at the elite not the masses.
Some interesting differences in views between the two groups of
elite are observed. In general, more importance was attached to
nation-building objectives by US respondents than by Pakistani
respondents. For example, US respondents were more likely to
think that the US was concerned with trying to improve Pakistani
governance and was trying to influence public opinion in
Pakistan, whereas Pakistani respondents viewed US aid as much
less concerned with governance and more directed to the Pakistani
elite.
Despite these differences, which are suggestive of at least a
genuine US intent to engage in nation-building, the findings of
the thesis point to a failure by the Obama Administration to
follow through on its nation-building objectives in Pakistan.
Nation-building floundered, it is argued, because of ongoing
disputes in relation to realist goals, especially in relation to
the war on Afghanistan.
Several published studies of US-Pakistan relations argue for a
further nation-building push. In my interviews, I find
considerable support for such a position in the US elite.
However, I also find little sympathy for it on the Pakistani
side. The Pakistani elite is concerned rather to regain equality
in their relationship with the US. They see the need to put
their own house in order, but have little appetite for US
assistance. This calls into question the likely success of any
further nation-building push on the part of the US in Pakistan.
The academic contribution of this thesis is to establish the
relevance of Cold War aid analysis for the post-9/11 era. The
findings are consistent with much of the Cold War literature,
though some nuances are provided to earlier conclusions. The
policy contribution is to suggest that in cases such as Pakistan
where short-term foreign policy goals are of great importance the
US should put nation-building on the back-burner.

The legislative supremacy of Parliament has dominated the constitutional law of South Africa for a very long time. In the pre-constitutional era, the judiciary had no power to question the deeds of Parliament. Despite the need for the judiciary to be independent from the two other governmental branches to execute its function effectively, it was surely dependent on them. However, the creation of the Office of the Chief Justice (OCJ) as a separate governmental department by the Constitutional Seventeenth Amendment Act, read together with Superior Court Act, mandated by the requirements of a supreme Constitution (and not Parliament), changed things so that the judiciary is no longer dependent on government for its day-to-day administration. This thesis examines the independence of the OCJ and its role in promoting judicial transformation in the new South Africa.Public, Constitutional and International Law

After the summer field season of 1989 in the Pakistani Karakoram, I drove to Oxford, the ‘city of dreaming spires’ and arrived in the Department of Earth Sciences. In those days Oxford was probably the best field-geology ‘hard-rock’ department in the country and one of the best in the world. It was a wonderful place for me, buzzing with excitement and full of talented geologists working on projects all over the world. John Platt had post-graduate students working on several projects in the European Alps and the Spanish Betics, Simon Lamb was starting a major new field project in the Andes of Bolivia, and the department had some of the world’s leading igneous petrologists working on volcanic and granitic rocks all over the world. The department was overflowing and I was given an office on the top floor of the ‘annexe’ a wonderful old Victorian building at 62, Banbury Road. My office was up in the attic and I called this grandly the ‘Oxford Centre of Himalayan Research’. Right across the Banbury Road was an excellent public house, the Rose and Crown on North Parade, and we used to congregate there regularly for discussions on geology, and the world in general over a pint or two of traditional real ale. It was an excellent life. In the 1830s the first Professor of Geology in Oxford was the Reverend William Buckland who naturally came with a lot of religious baggage. Buckland was a bit of an eccentric in many ways including living with and eating a whole variety of wild animals and doing his geological fieldwork dressed in full academic gown. Following Buckland the department settled down to a more conventional geological approach, studying the stratigraphy and palaeontology of Oxfordshire. By the 1950s Oxford had become one of the leading departments of geology and mineralogy in the world. The head of department was Lawrence Wager, who had made his name studying the classic Skaergaard igneous intrusion of Greenland. Wager had earlier joined the 1933 Everest expedition climbing to 27,500 feet on the north ridge and collecting an extremely useful set of samples from the north slopes of Everest.

Abstract Planning For Automobility In Denver In 1945, the Denver metropolitan area counted twice as many motor vehicles as in 1930, but the city’s streets were ill equipped to handle the traffic. Parking, which had traditionally been free on all Denver streets, was a particular problem. Mayor Stapleton was voted out of office before he could address the issue, but his successor, Quig Newton, launched three simultaneous initiatives to foster increased automobility. He established a traffic engineering department, built off-street parking facilities, and created the Denver Planning Office (DPO). Newton brought in Henry Barnes from Flint, Michigan, to run this new traffic engineering department. Barnes widened streets, often at the expense of lawns, sidewalks, and many of Mayor Speer’s trees, hailed as civic improvements by previous generations. His efforts continued those of George Cranmer, Mayor Stapleton’s manager of Parks and Improvements, who had considered tree-lined streets a maintenance and streetcleaning hindrance. Under Cranmer’s tenure, streetside trees all over Denver had been cut down. Barnes also made downtown streets one way and installed traffic lights throughout the city (previously, there had been only a handful of traffic lights, managed by the fire department). Soon celebrated nationwide for his work, Barnes became a leader in his field, working next in Baltimore and then in New York City, where he died from a heart attack at the age of sixty-one.

This chapter captures the story of Sindh following the rise of the PPP under Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. The author examines Bhutto’s victory in the 1970 elections in Sindh on the basis of his charisma, populism and reliance on ethnic outbidding against the Muhajirs. The chapter unpacks the PPP’s time in office and policies, which went a long way toward meeting demands such as the adoption of Sindhi as an official language in the province. This was followed by language riots and the consolidation of the quota system, which favored Sindhis. The chapter also covers the post-Bhutto discontent in Sindh with the rise of the Movement for Restoration of Democracy (MRD), which captured Sindhi feelings of anguish at the execution of the first Sindhi elected prime minister.

Abstract In the end, the sound and fury of Gaitskell’s embittered attack on immigration control signified nothing, and both parties settled into a quiet acceptance of the 1962 system of control. The Colonial Office continued to resist the Ministry of Labour’s position—it disagreed with the Ministry of Labour’s pessimistic view of the economic situation in early 1962 and argued for a generous quota on Category C vouchers (for the unskilled) —but its intluence was on the wane. It had decisively lost the argument over control, and the process of decolonization led inevitably to its marginalization within the Cabinet. The winding down of Empire removed the Colonial Office’s raison d’etre; the ministry was merged with the Commonwealth Relations Office (CRO) in 1966, closed in 1967, and the CRO was in turn merged with the Foreign Office in 1968. There was after 1962 no question of rescinding the 1962 Act. The continued pressure of immigration, particularly from India and Pakistan, meant that no one would seriously consider abandoning controls that had been presented as temporary. ll n’yarien d’aussi permanent que le provisoire, as the French say.

After Clinton’s second term in office ended, President George W Bush moved the Special Envoy to Northern Ireland to the State Department, but his Envoys, led by Richard Haass and Mitchell Reiss, were no less engaged in Northern Irish affairs as the political figures there sought to create a functional government at Stormont Parliament Buildings. A series of significant obstacles emerged, but the Northern Ireland Assembly finally formed in 2007 before Bush left office. He was succeeded by President Barack Obama who had little interest in Northern Ireland but Obama’s initial Secretary of State, former Senator Hillary Clinton, was well-versed in Northern Irish issues. This chapter also examines the role of Northern Ireland in the 2008 Democratic Primary contest and, to a lesser extent, the 2008 Presidential Election.

The Dollis Hill building was erected in 1933 as the headquarters of the Post Office Engineering Department Research Station. Here T. H. Flowers pioneered digital electronics. The imposing brick building looks out from its hilltop site over the suburbs of North London (see photograph 41). It housed what was probably the most active telecommunications research centre in Europe. The building still stands today. Now converted into condominiums, it flanks a road named Flowers Close. Dollis Hill (DH) supplied much of the cryptanalytical machinery for Bletchley Park. Another of its roles was to provide an emergency alternative to the underground Cabinet War Rooms in Whitehall. Early in the war a secret underground citadel was excavated at DH. A massive structure of reinforced concrete, the citadel extended three floors into the ground. It is said that Churchill took against the new bunker, and the War Cabinet met at DH only once. Gil Hayward joined the Post Office Research Station in 1934. He describes the ethos of the new research laboratory: I went to DH at the age of 16, straight from school. The Research Station had existed in permanent form for less than two years, having previously been accommodated in a series of wooden huts. ‘Research is the Door to Tomorrow’ was inscribed in stone above the main entrance to the new building. The atmosphere at DH was unique. Original thinking was encouraged and there was a substantial amount of freedom. Norman Thurlow entered the Engineering Department of the Post Office as a recruit some three years before the war. In 1942, he joined the Dollis Hill group and participated in Flowers’ engineering revolution. The Post Office included the post and telephone businesses. The Engineering Department served both operations for all engineering work, including R&D. The Research Branch at Dollis Hill consisted of several different groups. Among them were the telegraph, switching, and physics groups, headed by Frank Morrell, Tom Flowers, and Eric Speight, respectively. These three groups all became involved in some way with the Bletchley Park operation. The state of the art was defined by the telephone and telegraph systems.

Abstract When this prophecy was written in 1887, comparing the succession of supervising architects with that of the kings of England, the “Government Architects” were those who headed the Office of the Supervising Architect of the U.S. Treasury Department. The prophecy was not borne out and only a few of the fifteen supervising architects are remembered: Ammi B. Young, Alfred B. Mullett, William A. Potter, James G. Hill, and James Knox Taylor are the most prominent. The names of Mifflin E. Bell, Jeremiah O’Rourke, and Oscar Wenderoth are obscure at best, even in the relatively restricted field of architectural history. The Supervising Architect’s Office was a bureau located within the U.S. Treasury Department, which for nearly a century designed custom houses, courthouses, post offices, and other buildings that housed federal government functions. Established in 1852, the Office blossomed at a time when the U.S. Congress appropriated funds to design and construct a large group of federal buildings in communities east of the Mississippi River and in the South.

In the 1890s and early 1900s, the Post Office Department launched an unprecedented spatial reorganization of its postal network: Rural Free Delivery, when mail carriers started delivering mail to the doorsteps of individual homes. Chapter 7 details the rollout of Rural Free Delivery, which was put into motion through an alliance between department administrators and agrarian reformers. This initiative triggered a spatial and administrative shift in the US Post, as it altered the geography of the network while ushering in a more recognizably modern bureaucracy made up of professional civil servants. But mapping the spread of the service reveals that Rural Free Delivery did not initially extend to the rural West. There, the older agency model would continue to define mail service well into the twentieth century.

Abstract After June 4, 1873, when Vaux resigned his position as consulting landscape architect to the Department of Public Parks, he had no official association with New York’s parks until the following decade. Olmsted, however, served as the landscape architect from 1873 until January 1878, when the department abolished his position, and Mould retained his post until May 1875.With the dissolution of Olmsted,Vaux & Company, Olmsted moved his office from 110 Broadway to a room in his house at 209 West 46th Street, where he tended to his personal clients.Vaux must have been touched to see his own picture, together with those of Ruskin and other notables, on Olmsted’s office mantelpiece.WhenVaux and others came to visit, they were often greeted by the sight of their workaholic friend tending to business in this downstairs room. Only later would he abandon his desk for conversation upstairs in the living room. Vaux retained his office at the old address until 1877, when he moved to 71 Broadway, and later, in 1884, to Bible House on Astor Place. Wisedell continued to assist both men, helping Olmsted especially with the design of ornamental walls around the grounds of the U.S. Capitol. And throughout the 1870s and 1880s, Vaux relied on the services of George K. Radford, the able engineer with whom he and Olmsted had worked on many projects.

Abstract The Coronavirus pandemic challenged most industries in ways unimaginable, forcing people to consider a variety of operational models which were previously unthinkable. UEP also adapted a Work-From-Home (WFH) model for its office-based staff to ensure operational continuity. A few months into the Pandemic, discussions at UEP were initiated to determine how the organization intends to manage office resumption once the Pandemic eases. A holistic strategy was devised to seek inputs of stake holders, research global and local trends to arrive at an informed decision. The findings indicated that while globally there were discussions around New Normal the local companies were generally not inclined in changing the way they work. UEP also sought feedback on the work-from-home setup from its employees via pulse survey and focus groups. Based on the results and multiple deliberations it was decided to move towards a hybrid model as the New Normal for UEP. A key focus area throughout the process was the impact on employees and the subsequent impact on Talent Management at UEP. This paper will discuss the series of events which led to the formalization of the "New Normal for UEP" and how it has impacted UEP's Talent Management. The paper will also briefly touch upon the post implementation feedback and lessons learnt from focus groups and highlight areas of improvement to fine tune the working model to what suits UEP best.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is sponsoring a program to conduct design and development, leading to full scale demonstration of advanced gas turbine systems. The Advanced Turbine Systems (ATS) program is jointly administered by the DOE Office of Fossil Energy (DOE/FE) and the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (DOE/EE). The program will demonstrate commercial prototypes of both utility- and industrial-scale ATS by the year 2000. The ATS program objectives are: system efficiency 60 percent (lower heating value [LHV]) or greater for utility-scale systems, and an equivalent 15 percent improvement for industrial systems; environmental superiority without the use of post combustion emissions controls; busbar energy costs 10 percent lower than current systems; adaptability to coal or biomass firing; and reliability, availability and maintainability equivalent to current advanced turbine systems. A competitive procurement process is being used for the selection of contractors to develop and demonstrate full scale systems. System studies were completed by six U.S. turbine manufacturers, and awards were announced in August 1993 for “concept development.” This paper describes one implementation approach to achieve the DOE/ATS targets.

The Department of Health and Human Services began administering a Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) program through what is now the Office of Population Affairs in 2010 (DHHS, 2021). Via replication of approved, evidence-based programs, sexual education was administered to teens across the country with the goals of preventing teen pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections (DHHS, 2021). One funded program delivered the TPP curriculum in community-based settings across southwestern Ohio for four years, using undergraduate nursing students as facilitators. The program served 1,642 females, ages 15-19. The objectives were to gather data on baseline knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, intentions, and perceptions related to sexual health in a target population and examine trends in knowledge at 12-months post-intervention. Identical surveys were distributed at baseline and 12 months post-intervention. Survey questions from the original instruments were assigned to one of nine categories for a more focused exploration of critical topics. Teens’ perceptions of risk did not align with the risky behaviors reported. Healthcare providers must work to find ways to address feelings of invincibility in teens before other educational efforts may be effective. Implications for Nursing: Ongoing evaluation of target populations is necessary to ensure effective programming.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Packaging Certification Program (PCP), Office of Packaging and Transportation, Office of Environmental Management, has sponsored a suite of training courses that are conducted annually by Argonne National Laboratory (Argonne) in support of safety and security of nuclear and other radioactive material packages. One of these courses conducted by Argonne since 2000 is the Application of the ASME Code to Radioactive Material Transportation Packaging, which was expanded significantly in 2014 to include dry storage casks, resulting in a change in course title to the Application of the ASME Code to Radioactive Material Packaging/Cask. The purpose of the course is to provide guidance for the application of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel (BPV) Code (“ASME Code”) to transportation packaging and storage cask of radioactive materials, including used (or spent) nuclear fuel and high-level waste, and to facilitate the design, fabrication, examination, and testing of packagings and casks. Both regulatory requirements in 10 CFR Parts 71 and 72 and the ASME Code requirements for transportation and storage containments are addressed, with emphasis on the Code Section III, Division 3, “Containments for Transportation and Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel and High Level Radioactive Material and Waste.” Among the specific topics covered are the application of the ASME Code requirements to structural materials, containments, loading and design; the design of containment internal support structures and buckling analysis; fabrication, welding, examination, and test requirements; quality assurance; physical testing, structural and thermal modeling and analysis considerations; and containment, shielding, and criticality analysis considerations. Special topics covered include non-Code materials, hydrogen gas generation, and aging management for extended long-term storage of used fuel and subsequent transportation. The expanded training course was offered in June 2014 at Argonne with 27 participants representing mainly industry and government agencies. On the basis of the feedback and course evaluation by the participants, the course may be expanded from 3 to 4.5 days in the future to allow more time for in-class discussion and exercises, as well as to include additional topics related to aging management for extended long-term storage of used fuel and its post-storage transportation. The course provides insight into the DOE and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) transportation and storage cask certification processes. The target audience is DOE, DOE contractors, other agency personnel, and commercial transportation packaging and storage cask engineering employees. Those responsible for designing, fabricating, testing, or packaging and casks, as well as preparing or reviewing the associated Safety Analysis Reports, will also benefit from the course.

Advanced ultra-supercritical (A-USC) is a term used to designate a coal-fired power plant design with the inlet steam temperature to the turbine at 700 to 760C (1292 to 1400F). Average metal temperatures of the final superheater and final reheater could run higher, at up to about 815C (1500F). Nickel-based alloy materials are thus required. Increasing the efficiency of the Rankine regenerative-reheat steam cycle to improve the economics of electric power generation and to achieve lower cost of electricity has been a long sought after goal. Efficiency improvement is also a means for reducing the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) and the cost of capture, as well as a means to reduce fuel consumption costs. In the United States (U.S.), European Union, India, China and Japan, industry support associations and private companies working to advance steam generator design technology have established programs for materials development of nickel-based alloys needed for use above 700C (1292F). The worldwide abundance of less expensive coal has driven economic growth. The challenge is to continue to improve the efficiency of coal-fired power generation technology, representing nearly 50% of the U.S. production, while maintaining economic electric power costs with plants that have favorable electric grid system operational characteristics for turndown and rate of load change response. The technical viability of A-USC is being demonstrated in the development programs of new alloys for use in the coal-fired environment where coal ash corrosion and steamside oxidation are the primary failure mechanisms. Identification of the creep rupture properties of alloys for higher temperature service under both laboratory and actual field conditions has been undertaken in a long-term program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the Ohio Coal Development Office (OCDO). Ultimately, the economic viability of A-USC power plants is predicated on the comparable lower levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) with carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) using either oxy-combustion or post-combustion capture. Using nickel alloy components will drive the design and configuration arrangement of the steam generator relative to the plant. A-USC acceptance depends on achieving the higher functional value and lowering the perceived level of risks as this generation technology appears in a new form.

Background/Objective: Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the primary psychoactive cannabinoid in cannabis. THC has potential therapeutic efficacy for some conditions but can lead to adverse drug events when used in higher concentrations. Higher concentrations are typical for smokable medical marijuana (MMJ) products which often contain 20 % THC or more. On March 18, 2019, Florida Senate Bill 182 (SB182) authorized cannabis flower for smoking. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of SB182 on the weekly dispensed amount of THC per certified MMJ patient in Florida. Methods: Data were obtained from the Florida Department of Health Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU) weekly reports, which detailed aggregate MMJ utilization from 04/06/2018 (onset of reporting) until 03/13/2020 (onset of COVID-19 emergency orders). We calculated the weekly amount of dispensed THC per certified patient by summing the total weekly amount of THC in dispensed MMJ across all non-smokable and smokable routes of administration in the pre- and post-periods. These totals were divided by total certified MMJ patients in that week. Given the lack of information of THC content in smokable MMJ products in Florida, we calculated THC amounts using averages of THC concentrations in smokable products (10% and 20%) based on published estimates from other states with MMJ programs. Interrupted time series analysis without control was conducted by fitting a generalized least squares linear model to estimate changes in the overall trend and changes in the level after SB182. We used a phase-in period to allow for time between the first dispensed MMJ products in a form of smoking (3/22/2019), and measurable effects of SB182 (07/19/2019). Autocorrelation and moving averages were ruled out by using autocorrelation and partial autocorrelation plots. Results: In the scenario with 10% average THC in smokable products, SB182 led to a significant level increase of 35.1 mg (95% CI: 4.85-56.34 mg) in the weekly dispensed amount of THC per MMJ patient. This was an increase of roughly 10.7% compared to the estimated amount in the week before the phase-in period (328.20 mg). In the same scenario, a continuously increased trend of 2.23 mg per week (95% CI: 1.16-3.31 mg) was observed in the 35 weeks following SB182. In the second scenario (assumed 20% average THC in smokable products), SB182 was associated with a level increase of 138.4 mg (95% CI: 102.14-174.75 mg) in the weekly dispensed amount of THC per MMJ patient, which corresponds to an increase of 42.2%, compared to 328.20 mg, and a trend increase of 5.62 mg (95% CI: 4.33-5.61 mg) per week in the following 35 weeks from law implementation. Conclusion: The inclusion of smokable MMJ in the Florida MMJ program was associated with a significant increase of the weekly dispensed amount of THC per certified MMJ patient, by increasing the level, as well as the overall trend following law implementation. Further studies should investigate the potential health and safety impacts of increases in dispensed THC in MMJ programs.

Aim/Purpose . The quantitative comparative ex post facto research study covered in this paper aims to fill gaps in the literature by focusing on whether gender influences perceptions of leadership; diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA); and job satisfaction among federal employees within the Department of Justice using empirical data. The study also explores whether there are relationships between the perception of leadership and job satisfaction and the perception of DEIA and job satisfaction. Background. Since 2002, the United States Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has administered the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS), which measures employee perceptions of whether and to what extent successful organizational conditions exist in their agencies. Areas currently assessed within the FEVS include training, job satisfaction, leadership effectiveness, management effectiveness, work-life balance, and diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. The exploration of variations in perceptions of leadership, DEIA efforts, and job satisfaction among U.S. federal employees by gender and other criteria are crucial areas for research that are underrepresented in the literature. This is not only important for the United States federal government, which is grappling with high attrition rates, but also for public administrations around the world. Methodology. A quantitative ex post facto research design was used to analyze data from responses of U.S. federal employees working for the Department of Justice. Leadership, job satisfaction, and DEIA were all measured using aggregate scores from pre-determined question sets. Differences based on gender were analyzed using t-tests. Additionally, chi-squares and Spearman’s rank correlations were employed in order to explore whether there is a relationship between the perception of leadership and job satisfaction and the perception of DEIA efforts and job satisfaction among U.S. federal government workers. Contribution. The findings of this study aid in providing empirical data to support the need for federal government leadership to understand the impact of employees’ perceptions on their willingness to continue working in the federal government. The research study was grounded in Public Service Motivation Theory, which centers around factors that motivate individuals to pursue and maintain careers in the public service sector. More specifically, this study supported the public service motivation theory in that it looked at gender as a mitigating factor in public service motivation as well as explored the role of leadership and DEIA as a correlating factor to job satisfaction. The results of this research have practical implications for federal government leaders interested in increasing employee motivation and retention and who should be considering the range of sociocultural and demographic characteristics that have been found in the research to impact employee perceptions and experiences. Findings. The analyses found differences in perceptions of leadership, DEIA, and job satisfaction among United States Federal Government employees based on gender. Additionally, perceptions of leadership and DEIA were both found to influence job satisfaction. The first research question explored in this study used a t-test to consider whether the perception of leadership among U.S. federal employees differed based on participant gender with significance found. The second research question examined whether the perceived job satisfaction of U.S. federal employees differed based on gender, with statistical significance detected. The third research question focused on whether perception of DEIA differed when gender was explored and the results of the t-test indicated a significant difference in perceptions of DEIA when gender was considered. The fourth research question considered the relationship between the perception of leadership and job satisfaction. A Chi-square and a Spearman Rank Correlation were performed, and a relationship was found to exist. Research question five explored whether a relationship exists between the perception of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility initiatives and job satisfaction, with significance found following a chi-square and a Spearman rank correlation. Recommendations for Practitioners. Leadership behaviors of managers and the existence of DEIA policies play a critical role in employees’ job satisfaction and commitment. The recommendations for organizational leadership in the public service sector include addressing gender inequality in work practices and environments and cultivating more inclusive organizational cultures. Recommendations for Researchers. The lack of inclusion of socio-cultural norms in the research on public service motivation is a gap that has yet to be sufficiently addressed and is an area of research that should be explored. Impact on Society. Research on public service motivation in local, state, national, and international government employment can aid organizations in developing strategies for improving recruitment, selection, and retention in public service organizations. This information can advance scientific knowledge on transforming management and leadership practices across sectors. Future Research. Future research can expound on what has been done here by examining in more detail how various identities, and more specifically intersecting identities, within the LGBTQIA+ community as well as other historically marginalized groups, impact such factors as perceptions of leadership, job satisfaction, employee motivation and retention, and work-life balance. Perceptions of specific DEIA initiatives should also be further explored.

The United States Department of Energy’s Carlsbad Field Office (CBFO) is responsible for the successful management of transuranic radioactive waste (TRUW) in the United States. TRUW is a long-lived radioactive waste/material. CBFO’s responsibilities includes the operation of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP), which is a deep geologic repository for the safe disposal of U.S. defense-related TRUW and is located 42 kilometers (km) east of Carlsbad, New Mexico. WIPP is the only deep-geological disposal site for long-lived radioactive waste that is operating in the world today. CBFO also manages the National Transuranic Waste Program (NTP), which oversees TRU waste management from generation to disposal. As of August 1, 2003, approximately 1890 shipments of waste have been safely transported to the WIPP, which has been operating since March 1999. Surface and subsurface facilities designed to facilitate the safe handling and disposal of TRU waste are located within the WIPP site. The underground waste disposal area is in a bedded salt formation at a depth of 650 meters (m). Approximately 176,000 m3 of TRU waste containing up to 17 kilograms of plutonium will be emplaced in disposal rooms 4 m high, 10 m wide and 91 m long. Magnesium oxide (MgO) backfill will be emplaced with the waste to control the actinide solubility and mobility in the disposal areas. Properties of the repository horizon have been investigated in an underground test facility excavated north of the waste disposal area, and in which seals, rock mechanics, hydrology, and simulated waste emplacement tests were conducted. Thus, in some areas of broad international interest, the CBFO has developed a leading expertise through its 25-years WIPP repository and TRU waste characterization activities. The CBFO’s main programmatic responsibilities during the disposal phase are to operate a safe and efficient TRU waste repository at the WIPP, to operate an effective system for management of TRU waste from generation to disposal, and to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and permits. This responsibility requires maintenance and upgrades to the current technologies for TRU waste operations, monitoring, and transportation. This responsibility also requires the maintenance of scientific capabilities for evaluating the performance of the WIPP repository. Every 5 years, WIPP must be recertified for operations by the regulator, the EPA. Currently, the CBFO is preparing for the 2004 recertification. The CBFO/WIPP has been designated by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as an International Center of Excellence. The IAEA is working with CBFO, other designated centers of excellence, and other member states in the IAEA to foster collaborative training activities and experiments in order to address major radioactive waste disposal issues. As the only operating deep radioactive waste repository in the world today, CBFO/WIPP is an important participant in this IAEA initiative. In addition to participating in relevant and beneficial experiments, the CBFO is providing the international community convenient access to information by sponsoring and hosting symposia and workshops on relevant topics and by participation in international waste management organizations and topical meetings. The CBFO has agreed to exchange scientific information with foreign radioactive waste management organizations. These activities result in the cost-effective acquisition of scientific information in support of increased WIPP facility operational and post-closure assurance and reliability. It also demonstrates the CBFO’s intent and resolve to honor international commitments and obligations.
