Geopolitical Inhomogeneities in the Registered Voters’ Distribution and Their Influence in the Voters’ Participation Ratio Distribution: The Mexican Case

Stylized facts appear in electoral processes worldwide, from Brazil to India. Here, we update a statistics carried on in Mexican elections but considering the inhomogeneities in electoral districts through the Nominal List (NL) (the list of valid electors in a given decision process) for the last three presidential elections. We find that the NL distribution at polling station detail is composed of, at least, three windows with a step function structure. Next, we study the consequences of the windows structure for the statistical properties of the processes. We obtain that the asymmetric vote distribution by polling station recovers a Gaussian shape for two of the windows; meanwhile, the standardized distribution of votes follows a distorted Gaussian, near to a skew normal. The distribution of the turnout at each polling station or voters’ participation ratio is close to a skew normal one in the bulk and failing at the wings. The average of voters increases in a linear way with the Nominal List and depends on the window considered. The results do not depend on the municipality, political district or urban versus nonurban distinction, and the electoral process considered.

ANALISIS PENYELENGGARAAN PEMERINTAHAN PASCA PEMEKARAN DI KELURAHAN SEMPAJA TIMUR KOTA SAMARINDA

The purpose of this study is to describe and to analyze government implementation after developing in political district east sempaja. This study used descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection technique by observation, interview, and study of documentation, and they were analyzed by using analysis technique of interactive model data, through, step of data condensation, data presentation, and determine conclusion/ verification. Data validity testing used technique of source triangulation credibility test. The result of this study showed that government implementation after developing in political district east sempaja looked from political district function in doing the task government affair implementation, development, and social showed that all of those function have been done but in doing it still got obstacle and obstruction because of lacking coordination and preparation in doing government administration process after developing between government of political district east sempaja and other institution.Keyword: implementation, political distric government, after developing

Spatial Analyses of Obesity and Poverty

Obesity in the United States is a socio-economic issue. Recent advances in geographic information system methodology can provide a better understanding of the impact of neighbourhood deprivation on access to healthy foods, diet quality and selected health outcomes. Whereas state-level Centers for Disease Control maps are still best known, newer approaches have mapped obesity at different levels of geographic aggregation: county, political district, zip code or census tract. This chapter examines data from the new Seattle Obesity Study, which permits the mapping of dietary behaviours and health outcomes at the property parcel tax level – the finest level of geographic resolution possible. Analysis suggests that food-consumption patterns also show a spatial distribution, broadly following the geographic distribution of wealth and social class.
