Constraining the Neutrino Mass with the Drifting Coefficient of the Field Cluster Mass Function
Authors: Ryu Suho , Lee Jounghun
Published: May 2020

A new diagnostics to break the degeneracy between the total neutrino mass (M

ν
) and the primordial power spectrum amplitude (σ
8) using the drifting coefficient of the field cluster mass function is presented. Analyzing the data from the Cosmological Massive Neutrino Simulations, we first determine the numerical mass functions of the field clusters at various redshifts. Then, we compare the numerical results with the analytical model characterized by a single parameter called the drifting coefficient, which measures the drifts of the collapse density threshold, δ
c, from the Einstein–de Sitter spherical value, δ
sc, at a given mass scale. It is found that the analytic model for the field cluster mass function is found to work excellently even in the presence of massive neutrinos, and that its drifting coefficient evolves differently in the cosmologies with different values of M

ν
. At low redshifts (z ≲ 0.3) the more massive neutrinos drift δ
c further from δ
sc, while the opposite trend is found at higher redshifts (z ≳ 0.3). Speculating that this distinct redshift-dependent effect of massive neutrinos on the drifting coefficient of the field cluster mass function might help break the σ
8–M

ν
degeneracy, we also show that the sensitivity of this new diagnostics to M

ν
is high enough to discriminate the case of M

ν
 = 0.1 eV from that of massless neutrinos.
Does a Solar Filament Barb Always Correspond to a Prominence Foot?
Authors: Ouyang 欧 Y. 阳雨 , Chen 陈 P. F. 鹏飞 , Fan S. Q. , Li B. , Xu A. A.
Published: May 2020

Solar filaments are dark structures on the solar disk, with an elongated spine and several barbs extending out from the spine. When appearing above the solar limb, a filament is called a prominence, with several feet extending down to the solar surface. It was generally thought that filament barbs are simply the prominence feet veering away from the spine and down to the solar surface. However, it was recently noticed that there might be another dynamic type of barb, which was proposed to be due to filament thread longitudinal oscillation. If this is the case, the dynamic barbs would not extend down to the solar surface. With the quadrature observations of a filament barb on 2011 June 5 from the Solar Dynamics Observatory and the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory satellites, we confirm that the filament barb is due to filament thread longitudinal oscillations. Viewed from the side, the filament barb looks like an appendix along the spine of the prominence and does not extend down to the solar surface as a foot.
Contribution of Magnetism to the Origin of Saturn’s Rings
Authors: Tchernyi Vladimir V. , Kapranov Sergey V.
Published: May 2020

In this paper, we derive the magnetization relationships for magnetically uniform spherical particles of Saturn’s rings, and solve the problem of a solitary magnetized sphere and a spherical particle among identical particles scattered in a disk-like structure. We also derive differential equations of collisionless motion of particles in the gravitational and magnetic fields. A special approximation of these equations is solved exactly, and its solution suggests that the superposition of the gravitational and magnetic fields acting on diamagnetic ice particles can account for the stability of Saturn’s rings in its equatorial plane.
Resolving the Nuclear Radio Emission from M32 with the Very Large Array
Authors: Peng Sijia , Li Zhiyuan , Sjouwerman Loránt O. , Yang Yang , Xie Fuguo , Yuan Feng
Published: May 2020

The Local Group dwarf elliptical galaxy M32 hosts one of the nearest and most under-luminous supermassive black holes (SMBHs) ever known, offering a rare opportunity to study the physics of accreting SMBHs at the most quiescent state. Recent Very Large Array (VLA) observations detected a radio source at the nucleus of M32, which was suggested to be the radio counterpart of the SMBH. To further investigate the radio properties of this nuclear source, we have conducted follow-up, high-resolution VLA observations in four epochs between 2015 and 2017, each with dual frequencies. At 6 GHz, the nuclear source is resolved under an angular resolution of ∼0.″4, exhibiting a coreless, slightly lopsided morphology with a detectable extent of ∼2.″5 (∼10 pc). No significant variability can be found among the four epochs. At 15 GHz, no significant emission can be detected within the same region, pointing to a steep intrinsic radio spectrum (with a 3σ upper limit of −1.46 for the spectral index). We discuss possible scenarios for the nature of this nuclear radio source and conclude that a stellar origin, in particular, planetary nebulae, X-ray binaries, supernova remnants, or diffuse ionized gas powered by massive stars, can be ruled out. Instead, the observed radio properties can be explained by synchrotron radiation from a hypothetical wind driven by the weakly accreting SMBH.
Reconstruction of Radio Relics and X-Ray Tails in an Off-axis Cluster Merger: Hydrodynamical Simulations of A115
Authors: Lee Wonki , Jee M. James , Kang Hyesung , Ryu Dongsu , Kimm Taysun , Brüggen Marcus
Published: May 2020

Although a merging galaxy cluster is a useful laboratory to study many important astrophysical processes and fundamental physics, only limited interpretations are possible without careful analysis of the merger scenario. However, the study is demanding because a thorough comparison of multiwavelength observations with detailed numerical simulations is required. In this paper, we present such a study for the off-axis binary merger A115. The system possesses a number of remarkable observational features, but no convincing merger scenario explaining the shape and location of the radio relic in harmony with the orientation of the cometary X-ray tails has been presented. Our hydrodynamical simulation with adaptive mesh refinement suggests that the cometary X-ray tail of A115 might be a slingshot tail that can arise ∼0.3 Gyr after the impact, before the two subclusters reach their apocenters. This scenario can predict the location and orientation of the giant radio relic, which is parallel to the northern X-ray tail. In addition, our study indicates that diffusive shock acceleration alone cannot generate the observed radio power unless aided by stronger magnetic fields and/or more significant presence of fossil electrons.
Global Mapping of the Surface Composition on an Exo-Earth Using Color Variability
Authors: Kawahara Hajime
Published: May 2020

Photometric variation of a directly imaged planet contains information on both the geography and spectra of the planetary surface. We propose a novel technique that disentangles the spatial and spectral information from the multiband reflected light curve. This will enable us to compose a two-dimensional map of the surface composition of a planet with no prior assumption on the individual spectra, except for the number of independent surface components. We solve the unified inverse problem of the spin–orbit tomography and spectral unmixing by generalizing the nonnegative matrix factorization using a simplex volume minimization method. We evaluated our method on a toy cloudless Earth and observed that the new method could accurately retrieve the geography and unmix spectral components. Furthermore, our method is also applied to the real-color variability of the Earth as observed by Deep Space Climate Observatory. The retrieved map explicitly depicts the actual geography of the Earth, and unmixed spectra capture features of the ocean, continents, and clouds. It should be noted that the two unmixed spectra consisting of the reproduced continents resemble those of soil and vegetation.

Published: May 2020

Introduction: Klebsiella pneumoniae, a common hospital- and community-acquired pathogen, is notorious for multidrug resistance. This study aimed to better understand the correlation of clinical presentation and microbiological characteristics of the isolates causing bloodstream infections (BSIs) in Taiwan.

Methodology: We retrospectively collected 150 isolates derived from K. pneumoniae bacteremia patients in Taiwan in both 2014 and 2016. Clinical data, bacterial serotyping and drug susceptibility tests were comparatively analyzed.

Results: Demographic data showed that diabetes mellitus (DM) was the most common underlying disease (44.0%). The overall 30-day mortality rate was 19.3%, and higher mortality was found in patients with malignancy than others (P = 0.023). Serotype distribution was diverse. The major isolates belonged to non-PCR-typeable serotypes (58.7%) associated with hospital-acquired infections (P = 0.007) and in non-DM patients (P < 0.001), while K2 and K20 significantly caused infections and in DM patients (P = 0.046 and P = 0.006, respectively); however, only K2 showed more community-acquired infection (P = 0.022) than other typeable serotypes. Resistance to antibiotics in clinical isolates in the year 2016 was > 24%, including cefazolin (54%), ampicillin-sulbactam (25%) and cefuroxime (25%). Susceptibility to gentamicin, flomoxef, and tigecycline reduced between the two time periods (2014 and 2016). However, the isolates remained highly susceptible to amikacin and ertapenem (> 95%).

Conclusions: Patients with cancer had a higher 30-day mortality rate than others. Amikacin and ertapenem are the drugs of choice for the treatment of multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae BSIs in Taiwan.

Published: May 2020

Introduction: Infections caused by Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) are an important public health issue. Intravenous fosfomycin can be considered as an alternative for the treatment of serious infections caused by CPE. In this study, in vitro activity of fosfomycin was investigated among CPE isolates.

Methodology: Overall, 158 clinically relevant isolates obtained from 18 hospitals of 13 cities in Turkey with predetermined carbapenemase types were evaluated in the study, including Escherichia coli (n = 19) and Klebsiella spp. (n = 139). In vitro activity of fosfomycin was determined with agar dilution method. Among Klebsiella spp., 104 harbored blaOXA-48, 15 isolates carried both blaOXA-48 and blaNDM; three had both blaOXA-48 and blaVIM and nine isolates had blaNDM alone. Four isolates carried only blaVIM and two isolates harbored blaIMP alone. One isolate co-harbored blaVIM and blaNDM. Among E. coli isolates, blaOXA-48 and blaNDM were carried by 18 and one isolates, respectively.

Results: Resistance to fosfomycin was detected in 43.7% of the isolates. Among Klebsiella spp. and E. coli, these rates were 46.8% and 21.1%, respectively. In Klebsiella spp. resistance to fosfomycin was 49.5% in blaOXA-48 carriers; 26.7% in isolates co-harbouring blaOXA-48 and blaNDM and 66.7% in blaNDM carriers. In E. coli, fosfomycin resistance was detected among 16.7% of the blaOXA-48 carriers.

Conclusions: High level of fosfomycin resistance in these isolates may be attributable to the fact that these isolates are multidrug resistant. The genetic background of resistance should also be investigated in order to understand the co-occurrence and transfer of resistance among the CPE.
Screening of Chilean fish-killing microalgae using a gill cell-based assay
Authors: Mardones Jorge I.
Published: May 2020

Fish-killing algal species are responsible for important global economic losses to the finfish industry. Chile is the world’s second-largest salmon exporter, and fish-killing algal blooms have widely impacted its production in the last decades. The lack of standardized analytical methods to quantify and characterize the so-called “ichthyotoxins” has hindered our understanding of the underlying ichthyotoxic modes of action. The novel application of a highly sensitive and reproducible fish RTgill-W1 cell line-based assay has allowed significant progress in the field. In this study, the ichthyotoxic potency of the main microalgae species, which has been reported in fish-killing events in the historical Chilean monitoring programs, was assessed. The dinoflagellate Karenia selliformis was the most ichthyotoxic species against the RTgill-W1 (cell viability down to 8%), representing the major threat for the local salmon industry. In comparison, the raphidophyte Heterosigma akashiwo and the dinoflagellate Prorocentrum micans were the least toxic (gill cell viability down to 81 and 89%, respectively). Importantly, ichthyotoxic flagellates were more toxic to fish gill cells upon rupture. These results have important implications for the mitigation and management of algal blooms by the salmon industry.
Vitamin D Status in Women with Uterine Fibroids: A Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Farzaneh Farah , Sadeghi Kiana , Chehrazi Mohammad
Published: May 2020

BACKGROUND: Uterine fibroids (UFs) affect women of reproductive age and lead to major morbidity in premenopausal women. Identifying modifiable risk factors could help develop new UF prevention and treatment strategies.
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between serum Vitamin D3 levels and UF in women seeking gynecological services.
METHODS: This case–control design was conducted in September 2018 at the outpatient gynecology clinic of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran. Cases had at least one ultrasound confirmed fibroid lesion with an average volume of 2 cm or greater. The outpatient clinic has enrolled a control group of patients without UF, based on transvaginal ultrasonography or any other gynecologic pathology. Radioimmunoassay techniques were applied to measure serum Vitamin D [25(OH) D3] levels.
RESULTS: A total of 148 patients met inclusion criteria, 71 women were had at least one UF and the remaining 77 participants showed normal, UF-free uterine structure. The mean serum concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 was lower in UF patients (21.37 ± 7.49 ng/mL) than without (24.62 ± 9.21 ng/mL) (p = 0.02). A modified odds ratio derived from a backward logistic regression model for 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 that included positive family history, age, body mass index, bleeding volume, physical activity, sun exposure, and history of abortion was 0.92 (95% CI, 0.88–0.98) (P = 0.02).
CONCLUSION: For women with UFs, the serum level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 was significantly lower than in controls. Vitamin D3 deficiency is a potential risk factor for UFs to occur.

Triglycerides (TGs) (128.20 ± 43.49 in obese FL vs. 88.35 ± 24.26 in control, p < 0.001 and vs. 94.50 ± 31.65 in obese non-FL, p = 0.003). Ferritin (88.21 ± 54.88 in obese FL vs. 47.65 ± 32.07 in obese non-FL, p = 0.006). Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) (2.42 ± 1.67 in obese FL vs. 1.20 ± 0.75 in control, p = 0.001). Fasting blood sugar (FBS) (119.70 ± 49.11 in obese FL vs. 84.10 ± 7.19 in control, p < 0.001 and vs. 80.50 ± 8.84 in obese non-FL, p < 0.001) and postprandial (P.P) (152.80 ± 82.86 in obese FL vs. 94.35 ± 3.70 in control, p < 0.001 and vs. 93.35 ± 7.77 in obese non-FL, p < 0.001). Serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level was significantly lower in NAFLD patients compared to obese non-FL (40.05 ± 5.81 vs. 41.9 ± 4.85, p < 0.001).
CONCLUSION: NAFLD is associated with changes in biochemical parameters. Its early assessment can help in modifying the disease course and delaying complications.
La compétence comptable des startuppers

Published: May 2020

Cet article est consacré à la mesure et à l’analyse des déterminants de la compétence financière des startuppers des sociétés nouvellement créées stratups tunisiennes. La loi startup act 2018 met l’accent sur les droits des startuppers. Mais la question de la compétence des startuppers, c’est-à-dire de leur capacité à remplir leur rôle n’est abordée que de manière indirecte. Un des rôles des startuppers est de s’assurer de la qualité de l’information financière diffusée par l’entreprise, ce qui suppose l’existence d’une compétence comptable et financière chez les startuppers. L’analyse du guide d’entretien administré aux startuppers de notre échantillon montre qu’environ la majorité des startuppers de la pépinière de Radès détient une compétence d’ingénieurat. Cette compétence est principalement due au fait que les ingénieurs sont plus risqueurs et que les diplômés des écoles de gestion ou de commerce cherchent plus à devenir banquier ou directeur financier que de créer leur propre entreprise. Les résultats montrent aussi que la fonction comptable est sous-traitée entre les mains de comptables indépendants et/ou externes.

Privacy preserving anomaly detection based on local density estimation
Authors: Zhang Chunkai ,   Department of Computer Science and Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen 518055, China, Yin Ao , Zuo Wei , Chen Yingyang
Published: May 2020

Anomaly detection has been widely researched in financial, biomedical and other areas. However, most existing algorithms have high time complexity. Another important problem is how to efficiently detect anomalies while protecting data privacy. In this paper, we propose a fast anomaly detection algorithm based on local density estimation (LDEM). The key insight of LDEM is a fast local density estimator, which estimates the local density of instances by the average density of all features. The local density of each feature can be estimated by the defined mapping function. Furthermore, we propose an efficient scheme named PPLDEM based on the proposed scheme and homomorphic encryption to detect anomaly instances in the case of multi-party participation. Compared with existing schemes with privacy preserving, our scheme needs less communication cost and less calculation cost. From security analysis, our scheme will not leak privacy information of participants. And experiments results show that our proposed scheme PPLDEM can detect anomaly instances effectively and efficiently, for example, the recognition of activities in clinical environments for healthy older people aged 66 to 86 years old using the wearable sensors.

This study aims to analyze people’s sentiments about the impact of technology on employment and advancements in technologies and build a machine learning classifier to classify the sentiments. People are getting nervous, depressed and even doing suicides due to unemployment; hence, it is essential to explore this relatively new area of research. The study has two main objectives 1) to preprocess text collected from Twitter concerning the impact of technology on employment and analyze its sentiment, 2) to evaluate the performance of machine learning Naïve Bayes (NB) classifier on the text. To achieve this, a methodology is proposed that includes 1) data collection and preprocessing 2) analyze sentiment, 3) building machine learning classifier and 4) compare the performance of NB and support vector machine (SVM). NB and SVM achieved 87.18% and 82.05% accuracy respectively. The study found that 65% of the people hold negative sentiment regarding the impact of technology on employment and technological advancements; hence people must acquire new skills to minimize the effect of structural unemployment.

Published: May 2020

 Our knowledge of online reading dispositions is based on limited data. The optimal aim of this paper is to find out the online reading disposition that might take place when EFL students read online materials.  To achieve the aim of this research, a mixed method approach was employed. The results emerged from the quantitative data have shown that students tend to show dispositions of reflection as the most frequent dispositions. In compliance with quantitative data, five students were interviewed in order to provide a deep understanding of these dispositions. By doing so, new ideas have been extracted from students’ responses such as likeness toward online reading, taking place online reading dispositions and alternatives of online reading dispositions. These emerging results would provide an overwhelming idea about the online reading dispositions and pave the way for upcoming studies.

One of the obstacles of learning English Language as a Foreign Language is the limitation of practicing media. Social media has many contents and facilities which can be used for practicing English. The aim of this study is  to find out students’ intensity of using English-language social media content. The study was conducted by quantitative approach and survey method among the  Senior High School students in Jakarta, Indonesia. Data analysis shows that as students’ intensity who used English-language social media content is low. Students’ perception of English skill in reading and writing is good, while students’ perception of listening and speaking is still low. The intensity of using English-language social media content is positively and significantly related to students' perceptions of their ability to speak English including reading, writing, listening and speaking aspects. Hence, social media is needed to be learning media for learning English language as a Foreign Language in Indonesia.

Les fonds sonores de l’ancien musée national des Arts et Traditions populaires : collections ou archives ?
Authors: Le Gonidec Marie-Barbara
Published: May 2020

Cet article traite de la problématique engendrée par le changement du statut des enregistrements ethnomusicologiques du musée national des Arts et Traditions populaires entrés comme « collections » inscrites à l’inventaire du musée et requalifiées en « archives scientifiques » suite à leur versement aux Archives nationales en 2013. L’autrice explique ce qui a justifié l’attribution de ce statut d’objet dans le contexte de la construction du musée-laboratoire alors qu’émerge dans les années 1930 une nouvelle discipline, l’ethnologie de la France, dont le musée se veut être le fer de lance. À travers l’exemple de ces données sonores (pour utiliser un terme neutre) dont la constitution est le fondement de la discipline née en France dans les musées, il est question d’évoquer les enjeux dont ils sont l’objet et d’aborder le processus patrimonial qui les transforme en « témoins culturels immatériels ».
Les enregistrements sonores du musée national des Arts et Traditions populaires aux Archives nationales
Authors: Sin Blima-Barru Martine
Published: May 2020

Dès la constitution de la phonothèque au musée national des Arts et Traditions populaires, la question du statut juridique des enregistrements de terrain liés à la tradition orale collective se pose. Cet article évoque la manière dont cette question a été appréhendée par les chercheurs à l’époque, notamment Claudie Marcel-Dubois et Maguy Andral, collectrices majeures en même temps que responsables du service, et les incidences que cela a eues, jadis, en termes de diffusion, particulièrement restreinte par le passé en raison d’une vision particulière pour ne pas dire personnelle des responsables. La question se pose en des termes différents dès lors que ces enregistrements sont aujourd’hui conservés aux Archives nationales, institution patrimoniale ayant pour mission de les mettre à disposition du public et cela d’autant que ces archives sont à la base de projets de valorisation via internet qui obligent à s’interroger sur la législation actuelle en termes de droit d’auteur et de droits voisins.
La collection de disques édités du Mucem, un bel héritage aujourd’hui valorisé
Authors: Calafat Marie-Charlotte
Published: May 2020

Parce que les deux départements d’ethnomusicologie du musée de l’Homme et du musée national des Arts et Traditions populaires ont toujours eu la volonté de disposer d’une documentation sonore indispensable à la recherche, leur phonothèque a engrangé de nombreux disques commerciaux qui constituent aujourd’hui des ressources importantes pour la sociologie de la musique autant que l’ethnomusicologie. Cet article traite du fonds de disques 78, 33 et 45 tours du MNATP aujourd’hui conservé au Mucem et son traitement dans le cadre du chantier des collections.
Le fonds de catalogues de marques phonographiques du CNRS-musée de l’Homme
Authors: Henry Thomas
Published: May 2020

L’auteur se penche sur un fonds d’environ 330 catalogues anciens de marques phonographiques éditant des disques 78 tours de musiques « exotiques ». Retrouvé en 2009 à l’occasion du déménagement des archives textuelles du département d’ethnomusicologie du musée de l’Homme vers l’université de Nanterre. Reçus au gré des échanges d’André Schaeffner avec les maisons de disques sur la période 1930-1960, ces « objets documentaires non-identifiés » propres aux collectionneurs de disques et qui semblent étrangers à la discipline, témoignent pourtant de la manière, méthodique, dont s’est organisée la phonothèque du musée de l’Homme dans ses premières décennies d’existence. L’article montre aussi comment ce fonds peut constituer aujourd’hui un nouvel objet d’intérêt pour l’ethnomusicologie.

Published: May 2020

Marta Kurkowska-Budzan et Marcin Stasiak nous emmènent en Pologne au sein de la communauté des historiens. Ils dépeignent le commencement de l’utilisation de sources orales parmi les historiens de l’opposition dans les années 1980. Ce tour d’horizon englobe les débats autour de l’expansion de la public history au sein des sciences historiques, et de la réticence des ces dernières. Les auteurs concluent par un plaidoyer à l’ouverture des historiens polonais aux sources orales et à la fin de l’emprise des sources écrites.
Réseaux artistiques latino-américains : synchronicités, contacts et divergences.
Authors: Flaherty George F. , Giunta Andrea
Published: May 2020

Understanding originality and innovation to be proposals that contribute to the interpretation of change and to the formation of a transnational field of art and visual culture from Latin America, this dossier for Artelogie investigates tensions between the historical avant-gardes of the early twentieth century, both in Latin America and Europe, and the neo avant-gardes that emerged globally between 1960 and 1990, approximately. The relationship between these vanguards has been fraught by theoretical and methodological difficulties posed by scholarly literatures that have assessed these phenomena, themselves by no means homogenous or coordinated, mostly in terms of derivation and creative exhaustion. This assessment has originated from the so-called centers of the art world and early universalist theories of the avant-garde rather than from their local places of art making and its circulation. These largely Eurocentric claims have foreclosed analysis of the historical significance of key moments in postwar art and their critical and innovative potential in comparative terms. The reappearance of collage and assemblage, and of grid and monochromatic painting, to name only a few avant-garde techniques, was a self-reflexive return, offering a critique of postwar societies. Neo avant-gardes consciously forged formal and informal networks that linked colleagues and strategies beyond their local scenes or nationalist histories. With this dossier we seek to investigate temporal, spatial, formal, and thematic synchronicities that emerge from both contact and divergence among artworks, artists, critics, curators, and other cultural agents. Through their critical comparison we expect to produce conceptualizations of postwar art history that generate and invert rather than merely add to dominant narratives to date.
Stitching the Social Fabric against Violence and Oblivion. The Embroidering for Peace and Memory Initiative Revisited through the Lens of Caring Democracy.
Authors: Rico. Katia Olalde
Published: May 2020

Since the summer of 2011, solidary people from around the world have gathered in the open air to embroider handkerchiefs commemorating the victims of the war on drugs in Mexico and to welcome willing passersby to join in the activity for as long as they wish. In this article I draw on the Ethics of Care approach to argue that this collaborative project resorted to the technical specificities and constructive/healing character of handmade embroidery, as well as to the bodily posture and the temporality entailed by this activity in order to urge passersby to care about the humanitarian crisis in Mexico. Furthermore, I pose the possibility that these embroidery sessions create favourable conditions prompting participants to engage in democratic caring practices.
The Brazilian Cultural Mission and the Arte Nuevo Group: A Regional Dispute for Cultural Hegemony and Paraguayan Modern Art
Authors: Quevedo. Charles
Published: May 2020

During a relatively brief period—from the mid-nineteen-fifties to the early sixties—Paraguayan artistic production, which had been marked by inertia and chronic isolation, underwent an unusual process of renewal as it found a place in new regional artistic circuits. The Brazilian Cultural Mission, which strategically pursued rapprochement as it vied with Argentina for hegemony, coupled with a shift in Paraguayan foreign policy as the Adolfo Stroessner regime opened up to the east, favored, on a structural level, the insertion of Paraguayan modern art in the regional milieu. The Asunción-based Arte Nuevo group was central to that process.

Youth Labor Underutilization in Australia Following the Global Financial Crisis
Authors: Baum Scott , Flanagan Michael , Mitchell Bill
Published: May 2020

In the wake of the Global Financial Crisis, although the Australian economy remained largely buoyant in aggregate terms, outcomes across different groups were not evenly shared. In labor market terms, different demographic groups appeared to more or less impacted by the post-GFC economic environment. One such group were young people, who witnessed a change in employment fortunes compared to others in the labor force. This chapter provides an investigation of these uneven labor market outcomes and presents an analysis of youth labor underutilization using pooled panel data, taking account of both individual level supply-side factors together with the strength of the local labor market (demand-side). The result is an analysis that accounts for the impact of changing macroeconomy, local labor market conditions, and the employability assets of young individuals. The result illustrates the impact of the post-GFC economy of the youth labor market.
