Unprincipled Principals in the Accountability Chain: Autonomy and Political Control Within Tax Administration in a Developing Country Context

Financial Accountability &Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT SDG 16 emphasizes the need for accountable institutions, often based on the assumption that public officials are accountable to politicians, who in turn are accountable to citizens. However, in many developing countries, neopatrimonial governance can weaken this accountability chain, as politicians themselves may act as “unprincipled ...

Material-Constructive Features and Structural Behavior of Sicilian Thin Shell Vaults

Buildings
Thin-tile vaults, characterized by a wide variety of geometric configurations, represent an important part of the architectural heritage in Southern Italy. Many of these structures are still in serviceable condition.

The Irony of Liberation in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

The Journal of American Culture, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The 1975 film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest vividly portrays the tragic consequences of repressive psychiatric authority. The film was—and remains—one of the most memorable and well‐known products of anti‐psychiatry sentiment. Opponents of American psychiatry from the time period of Cuckoo's Nest objected to what they saw as social control ...

Interest Rate Pegs and the Reversal Puzzle: On the Role of Anticipation

Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, EarlyView.
Abstract We revisit the reversal puzzle: a counterintuitive contraction of inflation in response to an interest rate peg. We show that its occurrence is intimately related to the degree of agents' anticipation. If agents perfectly anticipate the peg, reversals occur depending on the duration of the peg.

Secondary cartilage in the murine medial pterygoid plate has a critical role in the pathfinding of the tensor veli palatini

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The development of the medial pterygoid plate (MPP) is followed in mouse embryos, highlighting its neural crest origin and complex development via both endochondral and membranous ossification. Using transgenic mice, the secondary cartilage of the MPP is shown to direct the path of the tensor veli palatini.

Free vibrations of the infinite plate strengthened by the stiffening ribs.

Mechanics - Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences of Armenia, 2011
The natural vibrations of the infinite rectangular plate, strengthened by the periodically located transverse identical stiffening ribs, prepared of another more durable material are investigated. The optimum geometric parameters of construction are determined, which ensure the greatest value of the lowest frequency of the natural vibrations, with its ...

Scaling relationships between Haversian canal‐to‐secondary osteon and midshaft femur cortical‐to‐total area in a human autopsy sample

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We report that femoral cortical thickness was strongly and negatively associated with secondary osteon porosity in an Australian autopsy sample, indicating that thicker cortices contained less porous secondary osteons. This allometric relationship held for the whole sample, males and sedentary well‐nourished individuals, but not for females or other ...

An investigation of the functional significance of the pyramidalis muscle using shear wave elastography

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The pyramidalis (Py) is a small triangular‐shaped anterior abdominal wall muscle, the function of which remains uncertain. We used shear wave elastography to test the hypothesis that Py contributes to stiffness of the linea alba. Our results indicate that Py contraction results in a significant increase in LA stiffness, supporting the previously ...
