Fiscal dependence in a special autonomy region: evidence from a local government in eastern Indonesia

Journal of Economic Development, Environment and People, 2018
This research aims to analyse the degree of fiscal dependence of local government upon the central government in the regency of Mimika, one of Indonesia’s eastern regencies. The ratio of fiscal decentralization is used to calculate the local government’s

Nonreciprocal Swarmalators With Reconfigurable and Controllable Formations for Robot Collectives

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Nonreciprocal swarmalator interactions are enabled through control barrier functions to transform self‐organizing robot collectives into reconfigurable, constraint‐aware systems. Complex two‐ and three‐dimensional shapes, continuous morphing, obstacle‐aware navigation, collective splitting, and object transport emerge from modulating agent‐level ...

Decentralization and Local Governance in Malaysia [PDF]

, 2010
Decentralization, local autonomy, and local self-government were presumed inherent in the administrative structure, but were seldom the highlight of Malaysia’s institution building and public administration reform strategies. Throughout Malaysia’s administrative reforms and institution-building process, local government and decentralization have seldom

Asymmetric Single‐Atom Catalysts Govern Diffusible and Non‐Diffusible Non‐Radical Pathways for Selective Degradation of Antibiotic Resistance Genes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Asymmetric single‐atom metal‐nitrogen‐carbon catalysts modulate the non‐radical pathway during peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. A fundamental contrast was revealed between diffusible singlet oxygen (1O2) and non‐diffusible electron‐transfer pathways (ETP) in antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) degradation.

Thermal‐Ionic Coupling in Transpiration‐Inspired Janus Nanofiber Membranes: Synergistic Dry‐Wet Interface Engineering for Solar‐Driven Electricity Generation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A transpiration‐inspired Janus nanofiber membrane creates a persistent dry‐wet interface that couples localized solar heating with hydration‐induced ion regulation. The asymmetric architecture sustains directional water and ion transport, suppresses salt accumulation, and enables simultaneous seawater evaporation and stable electricity generation ...
