EGovernance implementation model: Case study of the federal government agencies of Pakistan
No full textCopyright @ 2013 EMCIS.This study examines the eGovernance potential to bring about structural changes in the way in which government agencies operate, interact and communicate internally and externally with its citizens. Public sector needs to adopt eGovernance that is focused on the citizen satisfaction. In many developed countries, the types and quality of public services provided by a Government to its citizens have evolved over time, due to their change in thinking regarding the role of Government, from being a traditional government to that of being a modern service provider. Thus, this study will focus on the complaint management information systems of the selected federal government agencies in Pakistan. Authors were able to derive the implementation model of eGovernance only after doing analysis of all of the data obtained from questionnaires, interviews and observations at the federal government level in Pakistan. Authors found that the overall outcome of the validation process indicated that the model is highly satisfactory to improve the overall eGovernance system to provide modern services to its citizens

These rare neoplasms classically display epithelioid cells composed of granular or clear cytoplasm arranged in sheets, nests, or cords. Their immunoreactivity for melanocytic and smooth muscle markers makes these tumors distinct and unique.[1] We herein present two cases of primary cutaneous PEComas that clinically mimic other common cutaneous neoplasms and illustrate the necessity for clinical-pathologic correlation. A literature review is also presented to compare the different clinical and histological presentations of cutaneous PEComas

The application of the finite element method to the multigroup two-dimensional neutron diffusion equation on the KONEL code
No full textThe application of finite element method in space dependent neutron diffusion equation is shown in this paper The diffusion equation is first discretized using rectangular elements Applying piecewise polynomials in a variational form of the diffusion equation a system of linear algebraic equations is obtained Choleski decomposition is used to factorise the global matrix and numeration of nodes and finite elements is performed by line dissection The multigroup two-dimensional diffusion code KONEL was written based on this method (author)Society for Electronics,Telecommunications, Automation, and Nuclear Engineering; Belgrade (Yugoslavia); ETAN '86: 30.

“the struggle to be free”: A Conversation with Aman Sethi
No full textInternational audienceAman Sethi is an Indian journalist and the author of A Free Man (2011), a literary reportage on the lives of homeless daily wage workers in an Old Delhi labour market. In the following interview, Sethi looks back on A Free Man, a book he views as an attempt to try and capture the workers’ “struggle to be free” in an oppressive world, eleven years after its publication. He also reflects on his journalistic and creative practice both in this book and in earlier and later pieces. He insists on his keenness to experiment with new techniques for writing non-fiction and on the necessity to project oneself into spaces that differ from one’s own.Aman Sethi est un journaliste indien et l’auteur de A Free Man (2011), un reportage littéraire sur la vie de travailleurs journaliers sans-abri d’un marché de Old Delhi. Dans l’entretien qui suit, Sethi revient sur A Free Man, ouvrage dans lequel il tente de saisir la « lutte des travailleurs pour la liberté » au sein d’un monde d’oppression, onze années après sa publication. Il s’interroge également sur sa pratique journalistique et créative à la fois dans ce livre et dans des articles antérieurs et postérieurs. Il insiste sur sa volonté d’expérimenter et de développer de nouvelles techniques d’écriture non-fictionnelle et sur la nécessité de se projeter dans des espaces différents du sien
Removal of total ammoniacal nitrogen from reject water through selective electrodialysis reversal and bipolar electrodialysis
No full textThe removal of ammonium and ammonia, represented as total ammoniacal nitrogen (TAN), from reject water through electro-dialysis (ED) and bipolar membrane electrodialysis (BPMED) encounters challenges such as organic fouling, NH3 back-diffusion, and high energy consumption. The efficacy of electrodialysis reversal (EDR) combined with bipolar membrane electrodialysis using cation-exchange membranes (BPC) was assessed as a more practical configuration (EDR + BPC). Additionally, a novel configuration involving monovalent selective cation-exchange membranes (MSCEMs) in an EDR + BPC setup (SEDR + BPC) was investigated. Comparisons were made among BPMED, EDR + BPC, and SEDR + BPC under three load ratios (LN) of 0.8, 1, and 1.3 during continuous operation. The innovative SEDR + BPC configuration, with an LN of 0.8, exhibited the lowest energy consumption for transported TAN (ETAN) at 4.4 MJ·kgN−1 removal and achieved the highest TAN removal efficiency of 78 % with an LN of 1.3. In contrast to conventional BPMED, SEDR + BPC allowed for the recovery of potentially back-diffused NH3 into the acid chamber, minimizing transport losses. Furthermore, scaling in the base chamber was reduced due to the contribution of MSCEMs when applying an LN of 0.8. The MSCEMs increased the molar ratio of TAN over (Mg2+ + Ca2+) in the concentrate and decreased it in the diluate. EDR + BPC and SEDR + BPC configurations exhibited stable and lower cell resistance throughout the operation compared to BPMED, attributed to their ability to generate higher concentration gradients. The results clearly demonstrated the feasibility of low-energy TAN removal from real reject water from sludge anaerobic digestion using the SEDR + BPC setup.Sanitary Engineerin
