What are the most important ministries for the Paraguayan government of Mario Abdo Benítez? This article makes an evaluation of the cabinet based on the theoretical proposal of Camerlo and Martínez Gallardo (2017) by analyzing four key dimensions based on a qualitative methodology that combines the study of current regulations, the general state budgets, a hemerographic review and the judgment of experts. The main findings reveal that there are currently four types of ministries in Paraguay, according to the importance given to them: a) those with high priority; b) those that are considered important, but with more heterogeneous capacities; c) those who, in general terms, possess medium capacities; and d) those that are not of any importance for the current administration. Likewise, it is possible to ensure that it is a party cabinet with conservative orientations regarding its public policies. This paper seeks to identify: 1) which are the most important ministries for President Mario Abdo Benitez? 2) what are the attributes that determine that a ministry is considered important in the presidential administration in Paraguay (2018-2023)?, ¿Cuáles son los ministerios más importantes para el gobierno paraguayo de Mario Abdo Benítez? Este artículo hace una evaluación del gabinete a partir de la propuesta teórica de Camerlo y Martínez Gallardo (2017) al analizar cuatro dimensiones clave con base en una metodología cualitativa que combina el estudio de la normativa vigente, los presupuestos generales del Estado, una revisión hemerográfica y el juicio de expertos. Los principales hallazgos revelan que actualmente en Paraguay existen cuatro tipos de ministerios, según la importancia que se les da: a) los que son altamente prioritarios; b) los que son considerados importantes, pero con capacidades más heterogéneas; c) los que en términos generales poseen capacidades medianas; y d) los que no tienen ningún tipo de importancia para la actual administración. Asimismo, es posible asegurar que se trata de un gabinete partidario con orientaciones conservadoras en cuanto a sus políticas públicas. El trabajo busca identificar: 1) cuáles son los ministerios más importantes para el presidente Mario Adbo Benítez; 2) los atributos que determinan que un ministerio sea considerado importante en la administración presidencial en Paraguay (2018-2013).

This article surveys and analyzes the composition and stability of the cabinet ministers of Argentine presidents from the assumption of Bartolomé Mitre in 1862 until the country’s first military coup in 1930. The initial objective is to account for the ministers who were appointed in the various departments and their permanence in them. The source to be used is the Books of Acts of Oaths of the Members of the Government of the Argentine Nation, belonging to the General Notary Office of the Nation. Second, the stability/instability of the cabinets is analyzed, measured using a specific tool proposed here, the Cabinet Stability Index, which seeks to become a useful instrument to apply to future analyzes of other periods and presidential regimes. Finally, the results obtained are interpreted from a political perspective that in turn articulates the historical consideration of the time., Este artículo revela y analiza la composición y estabilidad de los gabinetes de ministros de los presidentes argentinos desde la asunción de Bartolomé Mitre en 1862 hasta el primer golpe militar del país en 1930. El objetivo inicial es dar cuenta de los ministros que fueron designados en los diversos departamentos y su permanencia en ellos. La fuente para emplear son los libros de actas de juramentos de los miembros del gobierno de la nación argentina, pertenecientes a la Escribanía General de la Nación. Además, se analiza la estabilidad/inestabilidad de los gabinetes, medida a partir de una herramienta específica aquí propuesta, el Índice de Estabilidad de Gabinetes (IEG), que procura convertirse en un instrumento útil para aplicar a futuros análisis sobre otros períodos y regímenes presidencialistas. Finalmente, se interpretan los resultados obtenidos bajo una perspectiva politológica que a su vez articula la consideración histórica de la época.

Why do coalition parties settle some policy issues in great detail, whereas other issues are hardly mentioned in coalition agreements? Coalition agreements are important policy platforms that determine policy making during the legislative term. However, we know remarkably little about their content. We shed light on why issue attention in coalition agreements varies so extensively. We argue that intra-cabinet conflict positively affects issue attention as parties have stronger incentives to negotiate a detailed policy agenda that constrains their coalition partners. However, we expect that this effect is conditioned by preference tangentiality and the salience of an issue among coalition partners. Our theoretical expectations are tested drawing on a new data set based on a comprehensive content analysis of 224 agreements negotiated by 181 parties between 1945 and 2015 in 24 West and East European countries. We find support for our hypotheses and conclude that parties draft agreements to limit “ministerial drift.”, Peer Reviewed

Is being a minister an advantage to those seeking nomination as a presidential candidate? In Chile, leaders who might have presidential aspirations often emerge from cabinets. Several factors could influence this route to candidacy, such as being the visible face of the government, participation in networks, or the fact that voting is influenced by media and social media due to their powerful role in the society, making them an essential element in the formation of new political leaders. Despite this situation, researchers and experts have not investigated sufficiently the link between being a minister and being a pre-presidential candidate. The present article examines the possible dimensions of this link., ¿Pasar por un gabinete presidencial entrega alguna ventaja para ser considerado como precandidato presidencial? En Chile los gabinetes han permitido la figuración de líderes que podrían tener aspiraciones presidenciales. Distintos factores podrían influenciar esta posibilidad tales como ser la cara visible del gobierno, las redes o que los votantes son influenciados por los medios de comunicación y las redes sociales debido a su poderoso rol en la sociedad, por lo tanto, ellos son esenciales para configurar nuevos liderazgos políticos. A pesar de dicha realidad, la academia no ha realizado la suficiente investigación sobre la vinculación entre ser ministro y ser precandidato presidencial. En este contexto, el artículo examina las posibles dimensiones de dicha vinculación.

We believe that a key to progress in terms of a better understanding of democratic politics rests on a research agenda that combines the best of cross-national statistical research with in-depth studies of historical pathways (path dependency), norms and practices in an analysis of rational politicians seeking power and policy influence. To enable us to conduct research on both that which is common across countries and specific to regions and the historical configuration of an individual country, we have built a new database with comparative data on cabinets, parliaments and political parties. It contains comparative data on 29 European countries, The European Representative Democracy Data Archive

An initial survey assessing overall supply chain issues was reviewed with twenty Indiana wood products companies. A longer follow up survey accompanied by in-person interviews, assessed more specific supply chain issues, and was reviewed with ten Dubois County wood products companies. From this, a supply chain map of major suppliers and customers located both inside and outside of Indiana was developed. The research also attempted to capture the industry trends and characteristics in a formal model, to explore the impact of INDOT projects on the competitiveness of the industry.

A combination of fax and mail questionnaires were used to estimate consumption of wood based products by the U.S. cabinet industry and evaluate current management issues affecting the cabinet industry. Group 1 companies (>$20 million in sales) were contacted and sent a fax questionnaire. A random sample of 1034 Group 2 companies (<$20 million in sales and >10 employees) were sent a mail questionnaire. A total of 19 usable questionnaires were received from Group 1 companies and 217 usable questionnaires were received from Group 2 companies. Group 1 respondents averaged 1,108 employees and $125.81 million in sales. Group 2 respondents averaged 27 employees and $2.31 million in sales. A shortened questionnaire (questionnaire 2, one page) was sent to half of the Group 2 sample frame resulting in twice the response rate as that of the long questionnaire (questionnaire 1, three pages). Results indicated that the cabinet industry used an estimated 484 million board feet of hardwood lumber. Nearly 95% of the hardwood lumber purchases were grade 1 common or better. The most common used species were red oak (44%) and hard maple (24%). An estimated 58 million board feet of components and 68,344 doors were also purchased by cabinet manufacturers in 1999. Softwood lumber use was estimated at 25 million board feet, consisting primarily of white (49%) and southern yellow (36%) pine. The most commonly used panel products were particleboard and hardwood plywood, at an estimated 1,044 million square feet (1/2 inch basis) and 279 (3/8 inch basis) million square feet respectively. Other panel products used by the industry were medium density fiberboard, hardboard, and softwood plywood. Approximately 156 (any thickness) million square feet of veneer was used. Lumber purchases were primarily direct from sawmills (66%) for Group 1 companies and from wholesalers/distributors (53%) for Group 2 companies. Panel product purchases followed the same trend with Group 1 companies buying primarily

Finally, the enclosure provides a barrier against foreign particles such as dust and moisture. The cabinet allows a plurality of circuit boards to be mounted in one cabinet and cooled by a single cooling source. It also provides coolant draining capabilities and a coolant distribution system., Supersedes PAT-APPL-613 783-96.

Jean Nicolas Sébastien Allamand (1713—1787), working in Holland, wrote 41 articles about mammals which were not, or only insufficiently, treated by the Count of Buffon in his Histoire naturelle. Allamand’s contributions first appeared between 1769 and 1781 in various volumes of a French edition of the Histoire naturelle published by J.H. Schneider in Amsterdam. These additional articles are analysed to recognize the sources available to Allamand. The new information was mainly derived from animals seen at fairs in Holland, at the inn Blauw Jan in Amsterdam, in the menagerie and museum of Stadholder Willem V near The Hague, in the museum of the University of Leiden, and from observations made in South Africa by R.J. Gordon.

This study examined investment opportunities in Manufacturing Technology (MT) related to electronic systems procurement and presents an initial candidate plan for the FY80 to 84 timeframe. The major cost areas for electronic products were determined by a top down study of the detailed breakout of electronics subcomponent and labor categories. Results indicate that about half of electronics costs are found in seven key material areas. The remainder of the cost is apportioned into 4 labor areas. The breakout into 11 final categories is based on data for nearly 100 systems. These systems represent a broad spectrum of Navy electronics procurement. The 11 cost categories are cables and cabinets, sensors and special tubes, integrated circuits, small hardware and printed circuit boards (without components attached), discrete semiconductors, hybrid circuits, passive components, assembly labor, fabrication labor, support labor, and test labor. These data are used to estimate net direct savings from MT projects, where applicable opportunities for indirect cost savings are indicated also. To determine project impact and program balance specific cost data were obtained on weapon systems procurement by visiting 58 Navy and industrial offices. Of the fifteen firms visited 90 percent provided data in at least one area. During the review of these data, an additional way was found to look at costs by reviewing the generic processes involved in manufacture., See also Volume 2, AD-A045 163.

This volume contains a candidate manufacturing technology (MT) plan for Navy electronics formulated as a result of the study described briefly in Volume I and in detail in Volume III of this report. The purpose of this volume is to give information on the aspects of the program such as: (1) savings minus investment, (2) savings to investment ratio, (3) timeframe, (4) applicable weapons systems, and (5) manufacturing cost category of cost savings on an overall, as well as individual, project basis., See also Volume 3, AD-A045 164.

Storage means must be provided in missile vans for test equipment and spare parts. The storage means typically is in the form of cabinets having drawers which must be tightly secured against accidental opening while the vans travel over rough terrain with the missile as the missile is positioned in the field. Cabinets are manufactured with built-in latches for securing the drawers in secured relation. However such latches are not capable of securing the drawers when the cabinets are subjected to vibrations such as encountered terrain. Disclosed is a locking device for retaining a plurality of drawers in secured relation in a cabinet even while the cabinet is transported over rough terrain. The device includes a rod which is rotatable into and out of engagement with the drawers for releasably securing the drawers.

A locking apparatus for use with a cabinet or other structure having double doors separated by a jamb at the point of closure. Two brackets are mounted on either side of the jamb, extending beyond the exterior surface of the cabinet sufficiently to install a locking device. The locking device obstructs the opening of the cabinet doors. The apparatus is structured such that it can be installed and removed from the cabinet without modifications to the cabinet or the need for special tools.

This cabinet is thought to have been designed by Louis Majorelle, who, along with Emile Gallé, was a leading exponent of the Art Nouveau movement in the town of Nancy in northeastern France. Art Nouveau varied from country to country and city to city. As practiced in Nancy, it was a sinuous, linear style with rich vegetal decorative details, frequently inspired by Japanese design., Please note that if this image is under copyright, you may need to contact one or more copyright owners for any use that is not permitted under the ARTstor Terms and Conditions of Use or not otherwise permitted by law.
