Full textAbstract:
The establishment of the Independent State Commission and other non-structural institutions was one of the alterations in the structure of the Indonesian constitution during the transition era and after the 1945 Constitution was amended. It is not uncommon for these Commissions to face criticism and controversy due to their autonomous authority and independence from the major branches of power. The objective of this research is to examine and describe the primary traits of such an institution in order for it to be recognized as an Independent State Commission by comparing it to the concept and best practices in the United States. As well as to justify the legitimacy of its position within the Indonesian constitutional framework. As a doctrinal legal research, this study uses a conceptual and legal comparative approach to secondary data presented in a descriptive-analytical manner. The findings revealed that the independent State Commission's two key characteristics were its independence from the executive organs and its autonomous-regulatory power. In terms of legal position, the classical trias politica perspectives need be modified as the Independent State Commission is now viewed as a new branch of government under a new separation of powers framework.

Full textAbstract:
The Special Commission to Fight Corrupt Practices and Activities Detrimental to Socialized Economy operated in 1945-1954. Appointed by a decree of the the Council of Ministers in November 1945, it was to detect and prosecute offenses againts economic or social interests of state. As an institution of the machine of power of Polish stalinism, the Commision has not been studies extensively so far. Also fragmentary is the knowledge on its methods of operation on repression imposed. The sole source of such knowledge are preserved archival materials. The Special Commission operated through its subordinate branches which it appointed nationwide and in Polish diplomatic agencies abroad. Established as an extraordinary agency with special powers, it had very broad competencies and the certainty of cooperation on part of the criminal justice system. From 1950 on, it also took over a part of political cases. Although the range of offenses detected and prosecuted by the Commission had been relatively narrowly designed, the Commission’s actual competencies were very broad indeed. Members of the Special Commission were originally appointed by Presidium of the National People’s Council and then by the Council of State. The Commission’s regional agencies were its branches, submitted to its Executive Office until 1950 and then to its Chairman after the Office had been liquidated. The Branches were established in all of the then existing provinces, in four big industrial regions, and separately in the cities of Lodz and Warsaw. As the need arose, temporary branches were also formed in smaller regions. Obliged to execute the Branches’ decisions were all state and local offices, judicial authorities and prosecutor’s offices, as well as all control agencies. Members of the branches took the oath designed for judges and public prosecutors. The branches’ main task was to detect and prosecute economic offenses, including especially: appropriation and plunder of public property, corruption and bribery, profiteering, and looting of property abandoned through war events, that is actions detrimental to the interests of public life. According to the specific socio-economic nature of their individual spheres of operation, four types of branches emerged: those in the Regained Territories of Western Poland; branches operating in the main industrial regions; those in agricultural regions; and coastal branches whose work was made specific by thc existence of ports. Still another branch that can be distinguished here is the Warsaw one which dealt with the specific problems of the capital city and central offices. The Special Commission controlled its branches through briefings and, first of all, through distributed instructions. The branches were ordered to organize mass meetings with the local population, to promote their achievements in crime control, and to pursue preventive activities. The instructions stressed the need to cooperate with local social organizations and to stay in touch and cooperate with agencies of the Communist Party. Yet the agencies whose part in the work of the branches was the greatest were provincial prosecutor’s offices, courts, and the Civic Militia. The branches attaches great weight to the work of so-called Complaints Office which received both complaints and denunciations. Under the decree that established the Special Commission and a subsequent amendment of that act, cases prosecuted by the Commission were decided bv courts under the then valid law. A representative of the Commission or of its branch appeared as auxiliary prosecutor. In cases not referred to the court, the Commission had its own system of penalties to be imposed upon completion of the investigation. Imposed could be the following penalties: committal to a labor camp for up two years; forfeiture of property acquired through the offense and of objects used in its perpetration; temporary detention for 3 to 6 months; fine and other additional penalties. Until 1950, the branches could only impose fine for violation of the regulations on trade. In 1950, the system of penalties was extended, and so were the branches’ powers to impose those penalties. The accused persons were deprived of the right to be assisted by a defense counsel. Originally dealing with investigation and prosecution only, the Commission and its branches now became extrajudicial adjudicating agencies. In Decmber 1954, the Special Commission and its branches were abolished. Cases formerly examined by he Commission were handed over to courts. The problem of penalties imposed by the Special Commission and its branches was ultimately solved by the 1956 amnesty law which erased all of their decisions. The Warsaw Branch was established at a later date, that is in May 1946; apart from a brief period from 1948 till 1950, it covered Warsaw and the Warsaw province. Its specific feature was the two-sidedness of its work. On the one hand, it would examine local cases; on the other hand, being the Central Branch, it was competent with respect to the entire central state machine. Starting from 1950, the Warsaw Branch no longer conducted inquiries but only decided in cases prepared by the public prosecutor. The Warsaw Branch received information from state and local offices, private persons and social institutions, and also from other branches if the informajtion in question suggested the defendant’s or case’s connections with the central state offices. In the years 1946-1947, the Branch examined over 16 thousand cases – the biggest load of all branches - and this trend was to persist till the end of its operation. Prevailing among tle information received, in the years 1951 - 1952 in particular, were cases of profiteering. Examined most often were cases of illicit alcohol distilling, followed by malfeasance in office: corruption and bribery. In1953, the number of the latter increased twice as compared to the previous year. Among cases examined by the Branch, there were also those of plunder and appropriation of public property, trade in golt and foreign currency, and forgery of tobacco monopoly products. There were also cases of economic sabotage at the workplace. As regards the way the Branch dealt with the cases it examined, convictions prevaild especially in the 1950s. The penalty imposed most often was fine. Also in this respect, the Warsaw Branch led among its other regional counterparts. The second most frequent penalty was committal to a labor camp. Forfeiture of property was imposed just as often. The Special Commission and its branches, the Warsaw Branch included, organized preventive campaigns and special operations. The former aimed at removing circumstances conducive to crime. They were directed against groups of persons causing damage to the economy. Both types of operations often resulted in detection of abuses. Special operations involved searches. From the beginning, the main task of the Special Commission and its branches was to be detection of and fight against offenses in the economic sphere. Restructuring of the economy towards the communist system was closely related to political struggle. From 1950 on, the Commission and its branches became tools of political terror. In labor camps, agencies of the Communist Party and security services would draw up political profiles of persons for economic offenses; many a time, the profile mattered more than the offense itself. The labor camps were advised to organize socio-political education for their inmates. The Commission and its branches treated corrupt practices in state-owned farms as acts of great political importance. Similar treatment was received by offenses committed by private owners of bigger farms. The range of political “offenses” examined by the Special Commission and its branches was very broad. Among them, two groups are most distinct. One of tchem included “offenses” resulting from anti-State activity, such as keeping materials containing “false information” about State, or propagation of “false” anti-State or anti-Communist information. The other group were “offenses” reflecting a person’s attitude to the USSR, as e.g. criticizing Stalin, insulting the effigies of Stalin and Rokossovski, doubts as to the identity of those guilty of the Katyn forest massacre, criticizing kolkhozes and the Polish-Soviet alliance. In the years 1950-1954, in Warsaw and the Warsaw province, 137 severe sentences were passed for anti-State “offenses” and for those reflecting a person’s attitude to the USSR. Prosecuting those “offenses”, the Commission and its Warsaw Branch often resorted to provocation and frequently took over cases in which the Security Office failed to gather sufficient evidence. In the years of operation of the Special Commission and its branches, a person could be punished for staying in touch with his family in the West, for corresponding with embassies of Western States, keeping forbidden books, being Jehovah;s Witness, and for anything that could be classed as hostile propaganda. The Special Commission to Fight Corrupt Practices and Activities Detrimental to Socialized Economy and its Warsaw Branch have made history. They are remember convicted by those agencies were granted pardon by President of the Republic of Poland or, later on, by the Council of State. Yet the activity of the Special Commission and its Warsaw Branch could not prevent the people’s growing discontent which eventually found vent in June 1956.

AbstractThe development of the modern state system is also followed by the establishment of new institutions as a support of the institutions that have been there before. The most significant event in the development and establishment of institutions is the new power branch, which is called by the experts in constitutional as an independent state commission. Independent state commission institution which, if seen from the character and the authority, the agency in some literature in American constitutional law is referred to as the fourth branch of power (The Fourth Branch of Government). Some things that make this institution called the fourth branch of government (The Fourth Branch of Government) is the fact that the agency, or commission or the state body run more than one function of government as well. The existence of a fourth branch of government (The Fourth Branch of Government) with the characteristics of state institutions whose authorities are quasi, combinations, as well as the accumulation of three existing government functions and make this institution to be difficult to identify in thought Trias Politica. The phenomenon of the rise of an institution with a new concept that has influenced the constitutional system in many countries.AbstrakPerkembangan sistem ketatanegaaran modern dikuti pula dengan terbentuknya lembaga-lembaga baru sebagai penunjang dari lembaga yang telah ada sebelumnya. Hal yang paling signifikan dalam perkembangan dan pembentukan institusi domokratis tersebut tidak lain adalah cabang kekuasaan baru yang biasa disebut oleh kalangan ahli tata negara sebagai komisi negara independen. Lembaga komisi negara independen yang jika dilihat dari sifat dan kewengannya, lembaga tersebut dalam beberapa literatur hukum tata negara di Amerika disebut sebagai cabang kekuasaan keempat (The Fourth Branch of Goverment). Beberapa hal yang membuat lembaga negara ini disebut sebagai cabang pemerintahan keempat (The Fourth Branch of Government) adalah fakta bahwa lembaga, atau komisi atau badan negara tersebut menjalankan lebih dari satu bahkan ketiga fungsi pemerintahan sekaligus. Eksistensi cabang pemerintahan keempat (The Fourth Branch of Government) dengan karakteristik lembaga negara yang kewenangannya yang bersifat kuasi, kombinasi, maupun akumulasi dari tiga fungsi pemerintahan yang ada dan menjadikan lembaga ini untuk sulit diidentifikasi dalam pemikiran Trias Politica. Fenomena munculnya sebuah lembaga dengan konsep baru tersebut telah ikut mempengaruhi sistem ketatanegaraan dibanyak negara.

PADJADJARAN Jurnal Ilmu Hukum (Journal of Law) 10, no. 2 (2023): 172–93. http://dx.doi.org/10.22304/pjih.v10n2.a2.
Full textAbstract:
Article 3 of the Indonesian Law Number 19 of 2019 stipulates that the Corruption Eradication Commission is a state institution within the executive power branch, which in carrying out its duties and authorities is independent and free from the influence of any power. The basic arrangement is not without problems, considering the institutional design of the Corruption Eradication Commission was initially stated in the Law Number 30 of 2002 “…a state institution, which in carrying out its duties and authorities is independent…,” becomes “…state institutions within the executive power branch….” The stipulation in Article 3, also the basic article of the law was confirmed by the Constitutional Court in Verdict Number 70/PUU-XVII/2019. This study aims to answer problems of theoretical construction of the commission after the Constitutional Court Verdict Number 70/PUU-XVII/2019. This study used the normative legal research method. The study concluded that, theoretically, there was a shift in the institutional design of the commission, from an independent agency to an independent executive organ, equivalent to the National Police and the Attorney General’s Office of Indonesia. The change is a setback in corruption eradication. Compared to other anti-corruption agencies in Asia, the institutional design is not an ideal condition or best practice. Therefore, legislators should restore the commission as an independent agency.

Full textAbstract:
The arm’s length principle has a new function. When used by the European Union (EU) Commission for State aid control purposes, it is aimed at protecting a level playing field for all economic operators in the internal market, i.e. at protecting free competition, rather than at tax base protection or prevention of double taxation. In that function, it is part of competition law, rather than of tax law. It may, therefore, deviate from the traditional Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) understanding of that principle. The case law on which the Commission relies, is not very explicit, and it remains to be seen whether the EU Courts will endorse the Commission’s approach, but from a competition law perspective, that approach makes sense. Both from the Belgian excess profits scheme case and the Apple case, it transpires that the Commission is of the opinion that a company cannot have stateless income. A branch State cannot suffice by saying ‘not in my yard’ if that implies that real income is allocated into a tax void, disappearing for tax purposes into a physically non-existent head office. Whether or not the EU Courts, if they accept the Commission’s approach, will also accept recovery ten years back with interest, will most likely depend on the question of whether, even if the Commission’s approach may be novel, the companies and the Member States involved should anyway have known better.

Full textAbstract:
The Constitutional Court of Indonesia in Decision Number 11/PUU- VIII/2010 stated that the provisions regarding the recruitment of members of the Supervisory Committee for the Election must be nominated by the Provincial/District General Elections Commission is contrary to Article 22E Paragraph (1) and paragraph (5), and Article 28D Paragraphs (1) of the 1945 Constitution. Therefore, to ensure a fair legal certainty and avoid disruption of the elections, the nomination and appointment of members of Supervisory Committee for the Election is conducted by one institution, namely the General Elections Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) or Supervisory Committee for the Election. The decision contains two legal meanings. First, the view that the principle of checks and balances are not only connected with separation of power at the legislative branch, executive branch, and judiciary branch, but also the relationship between “supervisors and the supervised” that based on the proportional rationality inter-state relations. Second, the case number 11/PUU-VIII /2010 actually contain elements of the dispute between the two state institutions, namely the General Elections Commission and Bawaslu because not only related to the interpretation of norms, but also the fate of members of 192 Supervisory Committee Election that not recognized and approved by the General Elections Commission. The problem handled by Constitutional Court using judicial review case against the 1945 Constitution.

Full textAbstract:
The article introduces that the electoral branch is gradually being formed into an independent branch of state power in Ukraine, in which special state authorities operate. The electoral branch is already a component of the separation of powers in a modern state, and this is an important guarantee of the rule of law and of the condition for the democratic functioning of state power. The electoral branch is becoming an integral component of the separation of powers mechanism. The development of Ukrainian statehood actualizes the need for appropriate scientific support for the institutionalization of power and legal regulation of its realization. The electoral branch as a branch of state power represents the powers to conduct preparing and holding elections and referenda, as well as to ensure, exercise and protect the voting rights and the right of citizens of a certain state to participate in a referendum, as well as the system of electoral bodies of different levels exercising these powers.
In Ukraine, electoral commissions led by the Central Electoral Commission (CEC) are special electoral authorities. Here we are faced with the problem of determining the nature of electoral commissions, and therefore the institutionalization of the electoral branch in Ukraine. The CEC of Ukraine is a permanent state collegial body vested with the power to organize preparing and holding elections to the public authorities. The main task of the CEC of Ukraine is to ensure the realization and protection of constitutional sovereign rights of citizens to elect authorities, to participate in referenda, as well as to express their will. In order to fulfill its responsibilities, the CEC is endowed with rights and powers allowing the involvement of public authorities of all levels in the electoral campaign process. The CEC is an independent and autonomous body, financed exclusively by the budget.
In the modern world, electoral branch has been institutionalized through the electoral authorities in many states, and in some of them it has been constitutionalized, that is, it has been enshrined in the legislation and in the constitution.
Similar processes are taking place in modern Ukraine. The creation of the theoretical foundations of the electoral branch from the viewpoint of general theoretical legal science and constitutional legal science will enable to raise the question of enshrining the electoral branch as a branch of state power in the Constitution of Ukraine.

Full textAbstract:
We present a unified model of the politics of the European Union (EU). We focus on the effects of the EU's changing treaty base (from the Rome to Amsterdam Treaties) on the relations among its three supranational institutions—the Commission of the European Communities, the European Court of Justice, and the European Parliament—and between these actors and the intergovernmental Council of Ministers. We analyze these institutional interactions in terms of the interrelationships among the three core functions of the modern state: to legislate and formulate policy (legislative branch), to administer and implement policy (executive branch), and to interpret policy and adjudicate disputes (judicial branch). Our analysis demonstrates that the evolution of the EU's political system has not always been linear. For example, we explain why the Court's influence was greatest before the passage of the Single European Act and declined in the following decade, and why we expect it to increase again in the aftermath of the Amsterdam Treaty. We also explain why the Commission became a powerful legislative agenda setter after the Single European Act and why its power today stems more from administrative discretion than from influence over legislation.

Purpose – To explain expectations of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) as to what constitutes successful branch inspection programs for broker-dealers. Design/methodology/approach – Summarizes FINRA’s rules requiring firms to implement branch inspection programs; examines the SEC’s and FINRA’s joint 2011 National Examination Risk Alert, which expanded upon FINRA’s rules, requiring firms to conduct risk-based analyses on each branch office to determine the appropriate frequency, intensity, and focus of inspections; discusses FINRA’s expectation that firms examine their registered representatives’ financial circumstances to reduce the risk of fraud; explains how FINRA’s Comprehensive Automated Risk Data System may impact branch inspections; and recommends several sources that firms should review when implementing a successful branch inspection program. Findings – Regulators have heightened their expectations as to what constitutes successful branch inspection programs for broker-dealers. Practical implications – To avoid regulatory intervention and discipline, firms should continue to review their policies and procedures to ensure that their programs are sufficiently comprehensive. Originality/value – This article will encourage firms with branch offices to review their branch inspection programs, and assist those firms in implementing sufficiently comprehensive policies and procedures.

Le, Bescond de Coatpont Mathieu. "La dépendance des distributeurs." Thesis, Lille 2, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015LIL20006.
Full textAbstract:
Les distributeurs sont des intermédiaires économiques car ils offrent sur le marché des produits ou services conçus, fabriqués ou exécutés par d’autres (les fournisseurs). Cette recherche démontre que le degré de protection accordé par le droit positif aux différents distributeurs n’est pas corrélé à leur degré de dépendance aux fournisseurs. Les qualifications de la dépendance sont multiples, incertaines, incohérentes et parfois artificiellement restrictives ou extensives, en droit du travail comme en droit économique. Des distributeurs connaissant un même degré de dépendance à leur fournisseur peuvent être traités de façon différente sans justification au regard des fondements des règles considérées. Il existe ainsi des inégalités de traitement. Il est donc proposé un nouveau droit de la dépendance des distributeurs, plus cohérent et égalitaire. Celui-ci se traduirait par un statut légal des distributeurs remplaçant les multiples statuts spéciaux existants, traçant une frontière plus nette avec le droit du travail et conciliant les intérêts des distributeurs avec la liberté des fournisseurs d’organiser la distribution de leurs produits et services. Dépassant la notion trop restrictive de contrat et les conflits de qualification, ce statut viserait la relation de distribution et prévoirait un régime appréhendant la complexité et l’évolutivité de la dépendance des distributeurs grâce à l’information, à une garantie de revenus et différentes indemnités de fin de relationDistributors are economic intermediaries because they offer on the market goods and services produced or served by others (the suppliers). This research demonstrates that the degree of protection offered by the Law to the various distributors isn’t correlated with their degree of dependence towards suppliers. The qualifications of dependence are numerous, incoherent and sometimes artificially restrictive or extensive, in labour law as in business law. Distributors experiencing a same degree of dependence towards their supplier can be treated differently without any justification regarding the grounds of the rules in question. Hence, appear inequalities towards the Law. Therefore, new legal rules are suggested. They would take the form of a statute ruling distributors and replacing the numerous statutes in force at the present time. It would draw a clearer line between labour law and business law and conciliate the distributors’ interests with the freedom of suppliers to organize the distribution of their goods and services. Going other the too restrictive notion of contact and the conflicts between qualifications, this statute would rule the relation of distribution and contain rules comprehending the complex and changing nature of dependence. It would ensure sufficient information of distributors and offer them an income guarantee and various compensations when the relation is terminated

O Legislativo é vital para o autogoverno coletivo e para a contenção do poder. Impõe-se revigorá-lo. Esta dissertação traz propostas para incrementar a legitimidade do Poder Legislativo que independem da reforma política. A primeira proposta consiste na correção de algumas práticas comprometedoras da atuação do Legislativo, quais sejam, a falta de apreciação do veto, a atual forma de elaboração e execução da lei orçamentária, o poder excessivo dos líderes e a tutela jurisdicional limitada do devido processo legislativo. A segunda proposta reside no fortalecimento das comissões temáticas, arenas mais adequadas do que o Plenário para desenvolver o potencial deliberativo do Parlamento. Esses órgãos fracionários podem empregar a avaliação de impacto, recurso que se destina a aprimorar a legislação. A terceira proposta corresponde à regulamentação do lobby. A institucionalização dessa atividade revela-se essencial para imprimir-lhe transparência, de modo a possibilitar o controle, e para minimizar o desequilíbrio no acesso aos tomadores de decisão.The Legislative Branch is vital to collective self-government and to restrain power. It is necessary to reinvigorate it. This dissertation brings proposals to increase the legitimacy of the Legislative Branch that are independent from the political reform. The first proposal consists in correcting some practices that compromise the performance of the Legislative, which are, the lack of appreciation of veto, the current form of budget preparation and execution, the excessive power of the leaders and the limited jurisdictional review of the due process of law. The second proposal aims at the strengthening of the committees, which are arenas more adequate than the Plenary to develop the deliberative potential of the Parliament. These fractional organs can use the impact assessment, which is a tool intended to improve legislation. The third proposal corresponds to the regulation of lobbying. The institutionalization of this activity is essential to imprint transparency to the process so as to allow control and to minimize the imbalance in access to decision makers.

Dissertação de Mestrado em Gerontologia SocialA Guerra Colonial Portuguesa é um dos acontecimentos mais marcantes da história portuguesa, remetendo à segunda metade do século XX. A geração que participou neste conflito armado encontra-se, no presente ano de 2019, com 65 e mais anos. Incidindo a investigação no âmbito da Gerontologia Social, aborda-se o envelhecimento enquanto processo que acompanha o ciclo vital, com a finalidade de analisar como a participação na Guerra Colonial condicionou as trajetórias de vida e o processo de envelhecimento de ex-militares de diferentes ramos de serviço, como o Exército, a Força Aérea e a Marinha; e de diferentes teatros de operações, nomeadamente Angola, Guiné e Moçambique, que se encontravam em serviço entre os anos de 1961 e 1975, na Guerra Colonial, sendo delineado este estudo exploratório, utilizando uma amostragem não probabilística. A partir das entrevistas realizadas a 30 ex-militares associados a dispositivos de suporte como a Associação dos Deficientes das Forças Armadas (ADFA), a Associação de Apoio aos Ex-Combatentes Vítimas do Stress de Guerra (APOIAR) e o Instituto de Ação Social das Forças Armadas (IASFA), caracterizou-se a população-alvo, em termos sociodemográficos, identificaram-se relações entre a participação na Guerra Colonial, as trajetórias de vida e o processo de envelhecimento da população-alvo, e através das 9 entrevistas realizadas a Informadores Qualificados, realizou-se um levantamento das funções de vários profissionais em diferentes áreas de atuação, relacionando-se com o apoio dado a ex-militares.
The Portuguese Colonial War is one of the most striking events in the Portuguese history, referring to the second half of the twentieth century. The generation that participated in this armed conflit finds themselves, in this present time, being over 65 years old. By focusing the investigation in the scope of Social Gerontology, addresses the act of aging as a process that follows the vital cycle, with the goal of analysing the way in which the Colonial War conditioned the life trajectories and the aging process of ex-military from different branches of service such as Army, Air Force and Navy; and from different sites of commissions, namely Angola, Guinea and Mozambique, that were in service between the years 1961 and 1975 in the Colonial War and this exploratory study was designed using a non-probabilistic sampling. From the interview with 30 ex-military associated to support associations such as “Associação dos Deficientes das Forças Armadas” (ADFA), “Associação de Apoio aos ExCombatentes Vítimas do Stress de Guerra” (APOIAR) and “Instituto de Ação Social das Forças Armadas” (IASFA), it is possible to caracterize the target population, in a sociodemographic way, looking to find relations between the participation in the Colonial War, life trajectories, and the aging process of the target population, and through the 9 interviews conducted with Qualified Informants, it was made a survey of the roles of various professionals in different areas of activity, relating with the support given to ex-military.

ABSTRACT For carrying out government’s health care policy , sharing health care resources ; and in response to the intense competition of health care market , the change of health insurance institution, the reduce of public affairs budgets ,M-shape medical treatment , promoting health care quality. Veterans Affairs Commission, Executive Yuan promulgated the “Veterans Health Care System Operating-Integration Management Practice” in 2008 , assigned Taipei Veterans General Hospital , Taichung Veterans General Hospital and Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital to be in charge of planning the vertical integration of local Veterans hospitals. As sharing resources, promoting veterans hospitals’ operation performance and health care quality, stronger competitive strength for the goals. This study took example of the Taichung Veterans General Hospital’s vertical integration in Chia-Yi Branch and Wanqiao Branch. Collecting the qualitative and quantitative data ; using case study research , literature analysis and in-depth interviews methods to investigate this integration for the accomplishment on sharing health care resource , promoting competitive strength and quality of service ; and resolving the constraints of health insurance system , internal problem of the veterans hospital , operating difficulties and populace’s requirements. Through the research and analysis , discovered that through the horizontal and vertical integration mode, Kotter’s change steps , the operation on bureaucratic organization theory , Chia-Yi Branch and Wanqiao Branch did achieve the excepting objectives. Form the in-depth interviews discovered that executive officers , doctors , patients and most of the employees positively agreed to the integration ; only few registered nurses and administrative staffs opposed to it . The major reasons for opposing were lacking of communication, the fear of uncertainty for the future and increasing workload, uneven work assignment. As time of the adaption and run-in, the staffs and employees of these two hospitals fused together. And after times of communictaion between the managers and employees, the resistance of integration had turned into agreement and developed as the consensus of cooperation. The analysis on this integration showed that it was still a successful case, deserving for Veterans Affairs Commission’s health care system and other medical institutions to consult and use as a reference.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis chapter tells the story of how the Election Commission of India (ECI) became one of the most awe-inspiring electoral regulatory bodies in the world. One of the most widely celebrated and trusted public institutions in India, it has ensured the integrity—free and fair—of 17 national and more than 370 state elections since 1947, in what is not only the most populous but also one of the most potentially fractious democracies in the world. Ever under pressure from the executive branch and governing parties to bow to demands fed by their desire for electoral windfalls, the ECI managed to strengthen its autonomy through assertive leadership by a series of Chief Electoral Commissioners following the decline of the Congress Party’s political dominance. The rise of the Hindu Nationalist BJP as the new dominant force in Indian politics provides a crucial test for the endurance of the ECI’s role as India’s guardian of electoral integrity.

Full textAbstract:
This paper describes the techniques utilized to perform a stress-based environmentally-assisted fatigue evaluation of Westinghouse-designed charging branch nozzles on the reactor coolant loop of the Callaway Energy Center nuclear power plant. Analysis results from using idealized, design transient definitions are compared to those resulting from analysis of the actual plant data. Benchmarking analyses, performed to address Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) concerns about simplified methodologies, are described. The simplified results are also compared to those produced using an advanced, multiaxial stress-based fatigue methodology defined in a recent EPRI technical report [3]. This paper concludes that stress-based fatigue monitoring using actual plant data is an effective way for a plant to manage environmentally-assisted fatigue of charging nozzles in pressurized water reactors (PWRs).

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, the nuclear industry experienced adverse flow effects that caused structural damage to safety-related and nonsafety-related components as a result of flow-induced acoustic resonance in both Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) and Pressurized Water Reactor plants. In particular, fatigue failures and cracks in steam dryers occurred in certain BWR plants during the extended power uprate operation with generation of loose parts that can adversely affect safety-related components within the reactor vessel and the reactor coolant system. The acoustic resonance occurs when the main steam line flow exceeds a critical value such that the vortices over the cavity of the closed side branch pipe are excited by the acoustic modes of the stagnant fluid in the branch. The occurrence of this phenomenon is highly dependent on plant-specific operating conditions and the piping as-built configuration. The U.S. nuclear industry has initiated extensive activities to address this phenomenon in BWR plants. The staff of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has been monitoring generic industry activities, as well as reviewing the evaluation of potential adverse flow effects that might result from power uprates at current operating plants, and during the design certification and licensing of new reactors. This paper discusses operating experience with adverse flow effects at nuclear power plants from the acoustic resonance phenomenon, industry actions to address and resolve the phenomenon, and NRC staff review activities related to this issue.

Full textAbstract:
Code Case N-513 provides evaluation rules and criteria for temporary acceptance of flaws, including through-wall flaws, in moderate energy piping. The application of the Code Case is restricted to moderate energy, Class 2 and 3 systems, so that safety issues regarding short-term, degraded system operation are minimized. The first version of the Code Case was published in 1997. Since then, there have been three revisions to augment and clarify the evaluation requirements and acceptance criteria of the Code Case that have been published by ASME. The technical bases for the original version of the Code Case and the three revisions have been previously published. There is currently work underway to incorporate additional changes to the Code Case and this paper provides the technical basis for the changes proposed in a fourth revision. These changes include addressing the current condition on the Code Case acceptance by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), clarification of the Code Case applicability limits and expansion of Code Case scope to additional piping components. New flaw evaluation procedures are given for through-wall flaws in elbows, bent pipe, reducers, expanders and branch tees. These procedures evaluate flaws in the piping components as if in straight pipe by adjusting hoop and axial stresses to account for the geometry differences. These changes and their technical bases are described in this paper.

Full textAbstract:
As a supporting organization for risk activities at a variety of government agencies including the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and Department of Energy (DOE), the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has been a principal developer of probabilistic risk and reliability analysis tools for over 35 years. The current state-of-the-practice has evolved to the use of the SAPHIRE software. This tool started in the mid-1980s as part of the NRC’s general risk activities. In 1986, work commenced on the precursor to the SAPHIRE software — this software package was named IRRAS. While limited to the analysis of only fault trees of medium size, version 1 of IRRAS was the initial step in the progress that today has led to the SAPHIRE software, software that is capable of running on multiple processors simultaneously and is able to handle extremely complex analyses. SAPHIRE has been designed to handle large fault trees, where a tree may have up to 64,000 basic events and gates. To handle the fault trees, two mechanisms for developing and modifying the fault tree are available — a graphical editor and a hierarchical logic editor. In risk applications, there are two predominant event tree analysis methods, the “large event tree” approach and the “fault tree linking” approach. A couple of key identifying attributes of the large event tree approach is that the number of accident sequences becomes very large (measured in the millions or more) and the event tree branches are represented by probability values. For the fault tree linking approach, the number of sequences is low and fault trees represent the event tree branch points. The INL has designed SAPHIRE to handle both event tree methods. SAPHIRE uses logic models to determine minimal cut sets. Once the dominant cut sets are determined, the group of cut sets must be quantified to determine the overall probability of frequency. After the cut sets are generated, they are used to obtain the importance measures for each basic event in the cut sets. The resultant cut sets are also used to propagate (using either Monte Carlo or Latin Hypercube sampling) the basic event’s epistemic uncertainty.

Full textAbstract:
During the eighteenth century Portugal developed a large military construction process in the Ultramarine possessions, in order to compete with the new born colonial trading empires, mainly Great Britain, Netherlands and France. The Portuguese colonial seashores of the Atlantic Ocean (since the middle of the sixteenth century) and of the Indian Ocean (from the end of the first quarter of the seventeenth century) were repeatedly coveted, and the huge Portuguese colony of Brazil was also harassed in the south during the eighteenth century –here due to problems in a diplomatic and military dispute with Spain, related with the global frontiers’ design of the Iberian colonies. The Treaty of Madrid (1750) had specifically abrogated the Treaty of Tordesillas (1494) between Portugal and Spain, and the limits of Brazil began to be defined on the field. Macapá is situated in the western branch of Amazonas delta, in the singular cross-point of the Equator with Tordesillas Meridian, and the construction of a big fortress began in the year of 1764 under direction of Enrico Antonio Galluzzi, an Italian engineer contracted by Portuguese administration to the Commission of Delimitation, which arrived in Brazil in 1753. In consequence of the political panorama in Europe after the Seven Years War (1756-1763), a new agreement between Portugal and Spain was negotiated (after the regional conflict in South America), achieved to the Treaty of San Idefonso (1777), which warranted the integration of the Amazonas basin. It was strategic the decision to build, one year before, the huge fortress of Príncipe da Beira, arduously realized in the most interior of the sub-continent, 2000 km from the sea throughout the only possible connection by rivers navigation. Domingos Sambucetti, another Italian engineer, was the designer and conductor of the jobs held on the right bank of Guaporé River, future frontier’s line with Bolivia. São José de Macapá and Príncipe da Beira are two big fortresses Vauban’ style, built under very similar projects by two Italian engineers (each one dead with malaria in the course of building), with the observance of the most exigent rules of the treaties of military architecture.

Full textAbstract:
Donald Blount is recognized around the world for his contributions to high-speed marine vehicles of various types for more than 50 years. A highlight of his career has been the revolutionary high-speed craft, DESTRIERO, which holds the combined east- and west-bound Atlantic crossing elapsed time record and the fastest east-bound crossing record for which its development history has been presented in numerous forums. An in-depth look at his career beyond this singular achievement will be shared in honor of his numerous contributions to the marine industry during his lifetime of bringing science and technology to the waterfront. Donald Blount began his formal career in 1954 as an intern at David Taylor Research Center while a student at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. He was hired by DTRC and worked in the model test basin and in the tests and trials branch. In 1959 he successfully tested into a naval architecture position. He concluded his degree in Mechanical Engineering at George Washington University in 1963. Also in 1963, Gene Clement and Donald published "Resistance Tests of a Systematic Series of Planing Hull Forms" in SNAME Transactions which concluded two years of testing in Tank 3 at DTRC and of the subsequent analysis of Model Series 62. He worked in Jacques Hadler's division conducting individual research and directing engineering programs relating to emerging technology in the field of hydrodynamics. He served as Project Engineer in the ship powering, small craft, propeller and full-scale trials branches. He volunteered and served two years as a civilian with NRDUV (Naval Research and Development Unit, Viet Nam) including being in Viet Nam during the summer of 1968. Throughout 1967 while acting as branch head, he received casualty reports from the field for trend monitoring. During his in-country tour in 1968, he personally participated in nine missions on the rivers of the Mekong Delta and offshore. Upon returning from his service he found that his position as Trials Branch Head at DTRC was no longer available and he chose to transfer to the Combatant Craft Engineering Department in Norfolk, Virginia as Technical Manager in 1969. He was responsible for planning, organizing and monitoring research and development programs for small craft and their systems. He also evaluated technological trends and selected promising approaches to achieve significant advances in performance. Department of Defense and other governmental agencies. He was promoted to Department Head in 1981 where he was responsible for design, engineering and testing of all non-commissioned navy craft. He supervised 80 government employees and an additional 45 contracted technical staff. The department developed contract plans and specifications used to procure navy boats and craft. He served as advisor to all levels of the Department of Defense on issues relating to state-of-the-art technologies required for producing high-speed small craft. Throughout his civil service tenure he maintained a small, private consulting practice for the recreational boating industry and when he retired from the Civil Service in 1990, he took his consulting practice full time as a naval architect and professional engineer providing hydrodynamic expertise with an emphasis on sea-keeping, propulsion, maneuvering, control and dynamic stability for high speed and special purpose commercial, military and recreational craft. Donald has published numerous papers and has received several honors in recognition of his contributions. He maintains several professional society memberships, is a professional engineer registered in Virginia and North Carolina and has professional interests including marine archaeology and the collection of antiquarian naval architectural books about boat and yacht design. He is currently writing a book regarding the technical design of small craft. An attempt is made here to present Donald's many contributions in bringing science and technology to the waterfront.

Vinnytsia: VNTU, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.31649/mccs2022.19.
Full textAbstract:
Air line 10 kV overhead lines are made, as a rule, according to a radial scheme with aluminum non-insulated wires on reinforced concrete supports with an average length of 15 km and in some cases can reach 40 km (data according to Khmelnytskyi REM). In these networks, devices of automatic sectioning and redundancy are practically not used, which leads to the disconnection of all consumers that are powered by these PLs in the event of emergency situations. For example, Air line 10 kV F-5 of the Khmelnytsky REM with a length of 23 km, the estimated value of SAIDI is 714 minutes, and according to the resolution of the ccording to the Resolution of the National Commission for Regulation of Public Utilities №1175, the value of the SAIDI indicator for rural networks should not exceed 300 minutes.
Reclosers are used to increase the reliability of the power supply. The use of reclosers makes it possible to reduce the number of de-energized consumers in the event of short circuits by sectioning the overhead power line and the possibility of reserving it from another substation for the period of repair work on damaged sections of the substation. Some distribution system operators follow the path of replacing line disconnectors that switch on-site teams, but this approach does not always correspond to the optimal placement of reclosers to ensure the maximum effect of improving reliability indicators, in particular, when using short-circuit indicators.
A method of determining the optimal location of reclosers in distribution electrical networks, taking into account the installation of short-circuit indicators, is proposed, which will provide the greatest effect of improving the reliability of power supply. This method is based on the use of a matrix of paths, which makes it possible to automate the calculation of the SAIDI indicator depending on the location of the recloser and the number of short-circuit indicators.

Does proactively asking about allergens before ordering by Food Business Operator staff improve customer outcomes? Food Standards Agency, April 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.46756/sci.fsa.xbx580.
Full textAbstract:
Roughly 5% of the UK population report having a food hypersensitivity, which includes both food intolerances and allergic reactions (Turner et al., 2021). People may be more likely to have allergic reactions when eating out of home: the majority of deaths due to food allergens between 1992 and 2012 occurred as a result of food being bought from food businesses (Turner et al., 2015). However, research suggests that customers with allergies may be reluctant to actively seek information about allergens (Barnett et al., 2017; Barnett, Vasileiou and Lucas, 2020). Therefore, the Food Standard Agency (FSA) commissioned the Behavioural Practice to run a field trial, partnering with a national Food Business Organisation (FBO), to test whether staff proactively asking customers about allergens would increase customers’ confidence that they could identify ingredients that they have allergies or intolerances to, their comfort in asking about ingredients, and their perceptions of food safety regarding food and drink sold by the FBO. We worked with 18 branches of a national FBO. Between 28th March 2022 and 30th June 2022, staff in half of those branches (the ‘intervention’ group) were told to ask “Do you have any food allergies or intolerances?” before customers placed their order. Staff in the other half of the branches were not instructed to say this. They carried on with usual practice, to serve as a ‘control’ group, in order to be able to compare whether the proactive request made a difference. Customers who entered the FBO and who placed a food order at the till were asked to complete a survey about their experience, which measured their confidence in identifying ingredients, comfort in asking about ingredients, and perceptions of food safety in the FBO. We also asked them if an employee had asked whether they had a food allergy or intolerance before they made their purchase. We pre-specified that we would measure the ‘efficacy’ of the intervention when it was correctly delivered. In other words, that we would compare the responses of customers in the intervention group who reported being asked about allergies and intolerances with customers in the control group who said they were not asked. We found that customers in the intervention group who were proactively asked about allergens were more confident that they could identify ingredients, with almost 83.2% ‘very’ or ‘somewhat’ confident they could identify ingredients, compared to 77.2% who were not asked in the control group. (These figures relate to all customers who answered the survey and who indicated that they received the expected intervention, regardless of whether they indicated they had a food hypersensitivity or not). Those in the intervention group who were proactively asked about allergens also reported they would be more comfortable asking about ingredients, with a majority (69.5%) ‘very’ comfortable, while in the control group only half of those who were not asked (50.8%) were ‘very’ comfortable. However, there was no detectable difference in their perceptions of food safety regarding food and drink sold by the FBO. The intervention also increased customer satisfaction amongst those who received it, on three different customer satisfaction metrics. This suggests that, if FBO staff proactively ask customers about allergens before ordering, this may help them identify ingredients in order to prevent them from suffering adverse reactions to the food. If it also improves the customer experience, then it can benefit businesses too, a win-win situation.
