<p align="justify">Fruto de la modificación del régimen de recursos en materia de contractos por la Ley 34/2010, de reforma de la Ley 30/2007, de Contratos del Sector Público, y de la Ley 31/2007, de contratos en los sectores del agua, la energía, los transportes y los servicios postales, se han ido creando en las Comunidades Autónomas órganos independientes y especializados para la resolución de tales recursos en su ámbito de competencias. En el presente trabajo nos ocuparemos del régimen de organización y funcionamiento de los órganos que a tal fin se han creado en la Comunidad Autónoma de Euskadi y que es el Órgano Administrativo de Recursos Contractuales. Órgano que convive con los correspondientes que se han creado también y previamente en los Territorios Históricos de Álava, Bizkaia y Gipuzkoa, que serán objeto de nuestra atención.</p> <p align="justify"><b>As a result of the change in the contract review system under Law 34/2010, which amends Law 30/2007, on Public Sector Contracts, and Law 31/2007, on contracts in the water, power, transport and postal services sectors, independent bodies specialised in settling disputes within their respective spheres of competence have been created in the autonomous regions. In this paper we address the organisation and functioning system of the bodies created for this purpose in the Autonomous Region of Euskadi, which is the Public Procurement Review Administrative Authority. This authority coexists with previously created bodies in the Historical Territories of Alava, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa, which will be the focus of our attention.</p>

Physical Treatments

Water processing for potability purposes is a challenging and expensive exercise. In many cases raw water is in a state which demands elaborate treatment so as to produce clean water - chemically, bacteriologically and physically. The first two analyses are well known and the processes standardized to some extent. The last requirement is taken for granted - that is simple and therefore need not be considered. It is the physical requirements, for example colour, taste, smell and turbidity, that the public cares much for. In this paper the removal of solid particles, which are the main cause of turbidity and to some extent colour and taste in water, is discussed. The process is based on water power separation mechanism through the use of swirl concentrators. The concentrator uses the fluidic power of raw water to physically separate suspended solids from the raw water thereby rendering the water potable. Both theoretical or mathematical and physical treatments are provided. The liquid and particle flow is calculated by a numerical model. The model's equations of motion are solved numerically for a turbulent axissymmetric system of a vortex basin. A uniform computational grid is used when estimating the finite differences for the equations of motion. The mixing length model procedure is utilized to compute turbulence. The results of the numerical model do agree, to some extent, with the measured ones.

Replications can cause distorted belief in scientific progress

AbstractIf we want psychological science to have a meaningful real-world impact, it has to be trusted by the public. Scientific progress is noisy; accordingly, replications sometimes fail even for true findings. We need to communicate the acceptability of uncertainty to the public and our peers, to prevent psychology from being perceived as having nothing to say about reality.

The City

The Court of Appeals of New York held, in Council of the City of New York u. Giuliani, slip op. 02634, 1999 WL 179257 (N.Y. Mar. 30, 1999), that New York City may not privatize a public city hospital without state statutory authorization. The court found invalid a sublease of a municipal hospital operated by a public benefit corporation to a private, for-profit entity. The court reasoned that the controlling statute prescribed the operation of a municipal hospital as a government function that must be fulfilled by the public benefit corporation as long as it exists, and nothing short of legislative action could put an end to the corporation's existence.In 1969, the New York State legislature enacted the Health and Hospitals Corporation Act (HHCA), establishing the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) as an attempt to improve the New York City public health system. Thirty years later, on a renewed perception that the public health system was once again lacking, the city administration approved a sublease of Coney Island Hospital from HHC to PHS New York, Inc. (PHS), a private, for-profit entity.

In many respects, the least important part of the 1999 elections were the elections themselves. From the beginning of General Abdusalam Abubakar’s transition program in mid-1998, most Nigerians who were not part of the wealthy “political class” of elites—which is to say, most Nigerians— adopted their usual politically savvy perspective of siddon look (sit and look). They waited with cautious optimism to see what sort of new arrangement the military would allow the civilian politicians to struggle over, and what in turn the civilians would offer the public. No one had any illusions that anything but high-stakes bargaining within the military and the political class would determine the structures of power in the civilian government. Elections would influence this process to the extent that the crowd influences a soccer match.
