Does routinization affect occupation dynamics? Evidence from the ‘Italian O*Net’ data

Taking advantage of a dataset providing O*Net-type information on the task content of Italian occupations, this work analyses empirically if and to what extent employment patterns are affected by task characteristics in terms of ‘relative routinarity’. The investigation focuses on the 2005-2016 period relying on a panel including all Italian 4-digit occupations. Occupations characterized by relatively large shares of routinary tasks are penalized in terms of employment dynamics. This result proves to be robust despite the inclusion of a large number of worker, occupation and industry-level controls. A considerable heterogeneity between manufacturing and services is highlighted. While in services the negative relationship between routine task and employment is verified, in manufacturing the same relationship becomes statistically weak. Moreover, Italian occupations with high level of routinary tasks seems to get ‘younger’ rather than ‘older’. According to our empirical results, in highly routinary occupations youth employment tends to grow rather than shrink. Finally, being in highly routinary occupations seems to be less an issue for workers with college degree given the weaker significance of the RTI coefficient as compared to the whole sample model.
Fatty acid profile and health lipid indices in the raw milk of Simmental and Holstein-Friesian cows from an organic farm

The aim of this study was to compare the health-related fatty acid (FA) profiles and health lipid indices in the raw milk of Simmental and Holstein-Friesian cows from an organic farm. The milk from Simmental cows had a significantly higher content of C12:0, C16:1cis9, C17:1trans9, C18:2cis9,12 (LA), C18:3cis9,12,15 (LNA), C20:1cis9, C20:4cis5,8,11,14, n-6 PUFA, total polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs), and a lower content of C15:0, C18:0, C20:0, C22:0 and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in the total content of FA than the milk of Holstein-Friesian cows. The PUFA/SFA and UFA/saturated fatty acid (SFA) ratios in the milk from Simmental cows were significantly higher, whereas the thrombogenic index and the LA/LNA ratio were significantly lower compared with the milk of Holstein-Friesian cows.

The Economic Impact of Migration: Productivity Analysis for Spain and the United Kingdom

Increased internationalization over the past 20 years has meant that labour has become increasingly mobile, and whilst employment and earnings effects have been extensively analysed in host and source nations, the implications for firm and industry performance have been largely ignored. This paper explores the direct economic consequences of immigration on host nations’ productivity performance at a sectoral level. We consider its impact in two very different European countries, Spain and the UK. Whilst the UK has traditionally had a substantial in-flow of migration, for Spain, the phenomenon is much more recent. The paper provides an overview of the role played by immigration on per capita income, highlighting the importance of demographic differences. We then go on to analyze the role of migration on productivity using two different approaches: i) growth accounting methodology and ii) econometric estimation of a production function. Our findings indicate that migration has had very different implications for Spain and the UK, migrants being more productive than natives in the UK but less productive than natives in Spain. This may in part be a function of different immigration policies, particularly related to the skill requirements on entry, but also in part a feature of the host nations’ ability to ‘absorb’ foreign labour.
First record of Benedenia sciaenae ( Monogenea : Capsalidae ) infecting the brown-spotted grouper fish Epinephelus chlorostigma ( Family : Serranidae ) from the Red Sea in Egypt

Benedenia (Capsalidae) is a genus of important oral and cutaneous fluke parasite of aquarium, cultured and marine fish. In the present study, the morphological and morphometric characterization of Benedenia sciaenae, a monogenean parasite infecting the gills of the brown-spotted grouper fish Epinephelus chlorostigma were described by means of light microscopy as a first description from Epinephelus chlorostigma. 215 out of 290 (74.1%) fish samples were found to be infected with this ectoparasitic capsalid causing pathogenic and epizootic events. The adult worm is flattened, elongated with an anterior adhesive organ enclosing two anterolateral adhesive structures, each one possesses three lobes which aids for adhesive secretions while the enlarged posterior end enclosing haptor. The adult worm measured about 0.52 -0.67 (mean 0.59 ±0.03) mm in total length and 0.33 – 0.49 (mean 0.38 ±0.02) mm in width. Haptor width measured 0.25-0.29 (mean 0.26 ± 0.02) mm; its hard parts consist of two pairs of hamuli and the accessory sclerites. The anterior hamulus measured 0.027-0.034 (mean 0.31±0.002) mm long while the posterior one measured 0.030-0.040 (mean 0.036±0.002) mm and each of the accessory pieces measured 0.032-0.044 (mean 0.040±0.002) mm long. Results showed that the general morphology of the present Benedenia sp. resembles that of B. sciaenae described previously in Turkeys from Argyrosomus regius fish host with the dimensions of body more or less similar. Also, there were significant correlations (P≤0.05) between fish length, weight and parasite abundance per fish. Number of monogeneans was increased with host size and age to fish of intermediate length and weight, and then it decreased probably because changes in size of gill filaments affect their attachment capability, enhancing the possibility of being detached by respiratory currents.

Aggression Detection in Social Media: Using Deep Neural Networks, Data Augmentation, and Pseudo Labeling

With the advent of the read-write web which facilitates social interactions in online spaces, the rise of anti-social behaviour in online spaces has attracted the attention of researchers. In this paper, we address the challenge of automatically identifying aggression in social media posts. Our team, saroyehun, participated in the English track of the Aggression Detection in Social Media Shared Task. On this task, we investigate the efficacy of deep neural network models of varying complexity. Our results reveal that deep neural network models require more data points to do better than an NBSVM linear baseline based on character n-grams. Our improved deep neural network models were trained on augmented data and pseudo labeled examples. Our LSTM classifier receives a weighted macro-F1 score of 0.6425 to rank first overall on the Facebook subtask of the shared task. On the social media sub-task, our CNN-LSTM model records a weighted macro-F1 score of 0.5920 to place third overall.
Energy-dependent Charge States and Their Connection with Ion Abundances in Impulsive Solar Energetic Particle Events

Impulsive solar energetic particle (SEP) events show substantial enhancements of heavy ions and 3He over the composition in the Sun’s atmosphere. Mass per charge dependent acceleration mechanisms have been proposed to account for this preferential acceleration. However, a problem emerged for all the preferential acceleration models with the measurement of ionization states near 1 MeV nucleon−1, which showed that ions from C to Mg are fully stripped, a challenge that had been recognized early on. Since all models relied on differences in the charge-to-mass ratio to enable preferential acceleration, the proposed mechanisms were incompatible with this observation. Recent observations of the ionic charge states at lower energies have revealed a dependence on energy, with the charge states decreasing for lower energy ions. This raises the possibility that the low-energy charge states reflect the plasma conditions at the acceleration site, while the high-energy charge states are due to stripping low in the solar corona. In a survey of impulsive events we show that the increase of the Fe charge states with energy is highly significant for the sample of events and thus most likely a general feature of impulsive events. To see whether there is a connection between the enhancements and charge states, we extended the ACE SEPICA charge-state observations to lower energies and combined them with the ion fluxes from ACE ULEIS for impulsive events observed between 1997 and 2000. We find a positive correlation between the abundance ratios and the charge states at low energy, while the charge states at the highest energy do not demonstrate such dependence. This supports the idea that the higher mass particles are preferentially accelerated before being stripped.
The Dark Side of Wage Indexed Pensions

This paper investigates some welfare effects of forced saving through a mandatory pension scheme. The framework for the analysis is a life-cycle model of a borrowing constrained individual´s consumption and portfolio choice in the presence of uncertain labour income and realistically calibrated tax and pension systems. Pension benefits stem from both a defined benefit and a notionally defined contribution part, the latter being indexed to stochastic aggregate labour income. We show that agents attribute little value to their pension savings in early life. Furthermore, we estimate the welfare loss for individuals in mid-life associated with the dependency between pension returns and labour income growth to 1.2% in annual consumption.

Unbundling Efficient Breach: An Experiment

Current law and economics scholarship analyzes efficient breach cases monolithically. The standard analysis holds that breach is efficient when performance of a contract generates a negative total surplus for the parties. However, by simplistically grouping efficient breach cases as of a single kind, the prior literature overlooks that gainseeking breaches might be different from loss-avoiding breaches. To capture these different motives, we designed a novel game called Contract-Breach Game where we exogenously varied the reasons for the breach — pursuing a gain or avoiding a loss — under a specific performance remedy. Results from an incentivized laboratory experiment indicate that the motives behind the breach induce sizable differences in behavior; subjects are less willing to renegotiate when facing gain-seeking than loss-avoiding breaches, and the compensation premium obtained by the promisee is higher. Our analysis suggests that inequality aversion is an important driver of our results; indeed, inequality-averse subjects accept low offers more often in cases of loss-avoiding breaches than gain-seeking breaches. These results give us insight into the preferences and expectations of ordinary people in a case of a breach.
L-band SiGe HBT reflection type phase shifters using active loads with varactor-loaded LC-resonators and RC-feedback circuits

A new reflection-type phase shifter using active loads has been developed for realizing a wide phase-shifting range and small amplitude variations. The active load is based on a common-emitter configuration of HBTs employing varactor-loaded LC-resonators in the load circuit and parallel RC circuits in the series feedback circuit. The varactor-loaded LC-resonator provides a wide phase-shifting range. Meanwhile, the RC-feedback circuit produces negative impedances and improves insertion losses. The implemented reflection-type phase shifter using Si varactor diodes with a capacitance ratio of 2.5:1 and SiGe HBTs with an ft of 25GHz has achieved a maximal relative phase shift of 290. An insertion loss variation was less than 3.2dB and return losses were better than 5.4dB at 1GHz. 330 Yuki Shoji, Kazuyoshi Sakamoto and Yasushi Itoh
Effective radiation dose for selected intercontinental flights during the GLEs on 20 January 2005 and 13 December 2006

The radiation exposure of aircrew and frequent flyers due to cosmic rays has become an issue of increasing interest in the last several years. The effect of galactic cosmic rays has been rather well investigated by measurements as well as by computations. However the contribution of solar cosmic rays is still a matter of debate. The dose rates during solar cosmic ray events can vary over magnitudes in intensity. Close to the end of solar cycle 23, two large solar cosmic ray events were recorded by the worldwide network of neutron monitors. Both events occurred during a Forbush decrease and were extremely anisotropic during the initial and main phase. During the event on 20 January 2005 the interplanetary magnetic field near Earth had a large component perpendicular to the Earth’s equatorial plane. In contrast, the interplanetary magnetic field lines were almost parallel to the equatorial plane during the event in December 2006, and the solar cosmic ray flux therefore had no pronounced north-south asymmetry. From the recordings of the worldwide network of neutron monitors the characteristics of the solar particle flux near Earth during the two events were determined. This information on the solar cosmic ray flux near Earth was subsequently used as the basis for the computation of the additional secondary cosmic ray flux in the Earth’s atmosphere with the Geant4 package PLANETOCOSMICS. The effective dose rates for specific flight paths were finally determined by interpolation from a global grid in latitude and longitude by using published flux to dose conversion factors. The paper shows the resulting preliminary effective doses on selected intercontinental flight routes during the two solar cosmic ray events. The obtained results are compared with dose values that were determined with other models.
Biological assessment of rivers in the Manawatu‐Wanganui region of New Zealand using a predictive macroinvertebrate model

Abstract This study presents a river invertebrate and classification system (RIVPACS) type bioassessment methodology for the Manawatu‐Wanganui region of New Zealand. Aquatic macroinvertebrates and related physico‐chemical data were collected at 127 sites, with minimal human impacts (reference sites) in 2000. The reference sites were classified into five groups based on their macroinvertebrate data using TWINSPAN. These biotic groupings were then applied to their corresponding physico‐chemical data and discriminant functions were obtained to assign sites into the biotic groups using the physico‐chemical data. The discriminant functions correctly allocated 72% of the sites to the correct classification group using a jack‐knife validation. The probabilities from the discriminant functions were used to predict macroinvertebrate assemblages and these were compared with observed macroinvertebrate assemblages. The model was then used to assess the health of 29 test sites with known impacts. All test sites were assessed as impacted based on the 10th percentile of the reference data. To evaluate the temporal reliability of the model, data available for 11 sites sampled in 1997 and 2000 were run through the model. The results of this comparison showed little variation in O/E ratios over time and the two sites classed as impacted in 1997 were also classed as impacted in 2000.
Kiloparsec-scale emission in the narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 783

We present the first results of a radio survey of 79 narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) carried out with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA) at 5 GHz in A configuration aimed at studying the radio properties of these sources. We report the detection of extended emission in one object: Mrk 783. This is intriguing, since the radio-loudness parameter R of this object is close to the threshold between radio-quiet and radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN). The galaxy is one of the few NLS1 showing such an extended emission at z < 0.1. The radio emission is divided in a compact core component and an extended component, observed on both sides of the nucleus and extending from 14 kpc south-east to 12 kpc north-west. There is no sign of a collimated jet, and the shape of the extended component is similar to those of some Seyfert galaxies. The properties of the emission are compatible with a relic produced by the intermittent activity cycle of the AGN.
The Joint Production of Crops and Wildlife Habitat on a Working Landscape

This paper examines the tradeoffs between the production of crops and habitat for juvenile salmon, through flood events, on the Yolo Bypass floodplain. I investigate how changes in the fishery management institution affect the economic returns to fish habitat. To understand how habitat provision affects the economic surplus of the farmers and fishermen, I develop a bioeconomic model of Yolo Bypass agriculture, salmon population, and California ocean fishery. The results reveal large total producer surplus gains from improving habitat management and the natural resource management institution. Twothirds of these gains come from habitat management alone. My findings highlight larger returns to habitat management when the natural resource is efficiently exploited.
Trade offs between efficiency and robustness in the empirical evaluation of asset pricing models

Even though we can formally express an asset pricing model in a classical Beta or in the relatively new stochastic discount factor representation, their key empirical features – notably, efficiency and robustness – may differ when estimated by the generalized method of moments. In particular, we find that there appears to be a degree of trade-off between these features, which are linked to the asset pricing representation. Here, we investigate this issue on single and multi-factor asset pricing models using US and UK data. In this setting, our results show that the SDF approach is more likely to be less efficient but more robust than Beta method. We show that the main drivers of this trade-off are the higher order moments of the factors, in which skewness plays an important role, and especially the covariance between returns and factors.
Interpersonal Affect, Accountability and Experience in Auditor Fraud Risk Judgments and the Processing of Fraud Cues

This chapter examines whether professional auditors’ affect toward client management influences fraud likelihood judgments and whether accountability and experience with fraud risk judgments moderate this effect. This research also explores the process by which affect influences fraud judgments by examining affect’s influence on the evaluation of fraud evidence cues. Results indicate that more positive affect toward the client results in lower fraud likelihood judgments. Accountability is found to moderate this effect, but only for experienced auditors. These findings have implications for fraud brainstorming sessions where all staff levels provide input into fraud risk assessments and because client characteristics are especially salient during these assessments. Importantly, results also support the proposition that affect impacts inexperienced auditors’ fraud assessments through errant attribution of client likability to evidence cues that refer to management, rather than biasing all client-related evaluations. Together, these findings suggest that education and training can be improved to better differentiate relevant and irrelevant cues in fraud judgment.
COMPARISON OF ANTHROPOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS, BIOMOTORICAL PERFORMANCE AND SKILL LEVELS OF 12-14 YEARS OLD BASKETBALL PLAYERS

In this study, it was aimed to compare the anthropometric characteristics, somatotype profiles, some biomotorical performances and basketball-specific skill levels of basketball players who were at different age levels, in adolescence period and were training with the same training methodology. The participants were 41 basketball players who were in the age range of 12-14 years, regularly trained and played basketball in the local youth setup leagues. The participants' body height, body weight, vertical jump, 1-mile run, aerobic power, anaerobic power, skinfold thickness (triceps, subscapula, suprailiac, calf), circumference (biceps flexion, calf), diameter measurements (humerus bicondylar, femur bicondylar) were made. Basketball-specific skills were determined using the Harrison Basketball Skill Test while the somatotype characteristics were determined according to the Heath-Carter method. Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests were used to determine whether the data were suitable for normal distribution. One-Way ANOVA test was used to examine the differences between the variables and Tukey test was used to investigate the cause of differences. Normality tests and other statistical analyses were performed at the significance level of 0.05. A significant difference was noted in humerus bicondylar diameters according to the age levels of basketball players and a statistical difference was detected in the data of vertical jump and anaerobic power in terms of biomotorical performance (p 0,05). In conclusion, in our study group, we did not find any difference among other anthropometric characteristics, somatotype profiles, and basketball specific skills except humerus diameter. We suggest that the difference in the vertical jump and anaerobic power values of biomotorical performance is due to the increase in the strength ratio along with the increase in age level.

‘Financialisation’ in Post-Keynesian Models of Distribution and Growth: A Systematic Review

We review recent attempts to integrate 'financialisation' processes into Post-Keynesian distribution and growth models and distinguish three principal channels of influence: 1. objectives and finance restrictions of firms, 2. new opportunities for households' wealth-based and debt-financed consumption, and 3. distribution between capital and labour, on the one hand, and between management and workers on the other hand. Starting from a re-interpretation of the Post-Keynesian theory of the firm we bridge the gap between micro- and macro-analysis of 'financialisation' and we trace the main characteristics and effects of 'financialisation' from the micro to the macro level taking into account stock-flow interactions. Our review of the theoretical literature on 'financialisation' shows that expansive effects may arise under certain conditions, in particular when there are strong wealth effects in firms' investment decisions (via Tobin's q) and in households' consumption decisions. However, our review also suggests that even an expansive finance-led economy may build up major financial imbalances, i.e. increasing debt-capital or debt-income ratios, which make such economies prone to financial instability.
