Authors: Nurcahyo Rendi , Iqbal Mohammad
Published: May 2022

Deep Learning techniques are now widely used instead of traditional Computer Vision. There are many Deep Learning model algorithms for each use case such as Object Detection has several models, including Faster R-CNN, SSD, and YOLO v3. The performance and results of each Deep Learning model have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, we must determine which model is suitable for the use cases and datasets that we have so that we can make the best Deep Learning model. Based on this need, this paper will make a comparative analysis of the Deep Learning model for Vehicle Detection (the spesific of Object Detection) from the models mentioned, namely, Faster R-CNN, SSD (Single Shot Detector), and YOLO v3 (You Only Look Once) to see the advantages and the disadvantages and which ones are the best. And after a comparison, it was concluded that of the three models mentioned only YOLO v3 model is able to be used as real time detection because it has low latency due to YOLO v3 only performs single convolution process so that it makes the process simpler and faster without reduce the accuracy.

Kemampuan berpikir kritis menjadi tuntutan pembelajaran Abad 21. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh pendekatan saintifik terhadap kemampuan berpikir kritis tentang materi biologi cacing nyale pada siswa kelas X di sebuah SMA Negeri di Kota Mataram. Sampel dipilih dengan teknik cluster random sampling. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian eksperimen dengan desain quasi eksperimen jenis nonequivalent control group design. Kelas eksperimen diberikan pembelajaran menggunakan pendekatan saintifik model pembelajaran berbasis masalah (PBM), sedangkan kelas kontrol menggunakan pembelajaran konvensional (ceramah-diskusi). Kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa diukur dengan nilai N-gain yang di uji dengan anova dua arah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan saintifik model PBM tidak berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa Dilihat dari perbedaan jenis kelamin, pendekatan saintifik model PBM ternyata berpengaruh terhadap kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa perempuan tetapi tidak berpengaruh pada kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa laki-laki. Perbedaan perubahan kemampuan berpikir kritis antara siswa perempuan dan laki-laki diduga terjadi karena gaya belajar dan tingkat kecerdasan yang berbeda.

Napier grass, being robust, quick growing perennial allotetraploid fodder crop with repeated cutting ability gains significance for sustaining the animal population and maintaining its productivity. Fifty six Napier grass genotypes were evaluated for character association and diversity analysis during Kharif 2020. The genotypes were significantly different for all the characters, which indicated scope for further genetic studies. High estimates of PCV and GCV were observed for PHT, LBH, LWT, CFT, ASH, DMY and GFY. Moderate estimates of PCV and GCV were observed for NOT, NOL, NON, ILH, SWT, ADF, CPN, DMC. High heritability along with high genetic advance as percent of mean was recorded for PHT, NOT, NOL, NON, ILH, LLH, LBH, SGH, LWT, SWT, ADF, CPN, CFT, ASH, DMC, DMY and GFY indicating the predominance of additive gene effects in the inheritance of these characters except LSR, NDF and CFR. Traits like PHT, NOT, NOL, LLH, LBH, SGH, LWT, SWT, LSR, CPN, CFT, ASH, DMC and DMY had positive and significant correlation at genotypic level with GFY and the selection based on these traits will result in enhanced GFY. Most of the yield contributing traits like DMY, SWT and LSR exhibited positive direct effect on GFY. Genetic diversity among the genotypes was assessed based on Mahalanobis’s D2 statistics clustering approach. Based on Tocher’s method, the genotypes were classified into 10 clusters. The highest inter cluster distance was observed between cluster VIII and VII (29.76) followed by VII and IV (28.96), X and VII (28.19) and cluster IX and VII (27.54). Therefore, the genotypes from the above clusters viz., FD 453/1, FD 467, FD 435, FD 446 and FD 445 could be used as parents for the development of high yielding Pearl millet Napier hybrids.

Authors: Maria I Dalamagka
Published: May 2022

Aging involves a progressive loss of functional reserve in all organ systems, to variable extend. Moreover, perioperative morbidity becomes more frequent in the elderly with steep increases after the age of 75. The elderly are more sensitive to anesthetic agents and generally require smaller doses for the same clinical effect, and drug action is usually prolonged. In the study, a 78-year-old man with Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and a cardiac history underwent a right colectomy with a combination of general and epidural anesthesia. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the beneficial effects of epidural anesthesia when it acts in combination with general anesthesia in elderly patients.

The mangrove forest in East Luwuk has been damaged. resulting in a reduction in area. The parties involved in ensuring that you are not optimal so that the condition of the mangrove remains degraded. This research was conducted to identify the stakeholders involved in the management, analyze the role of stakeholders and describe the relationship between stakeholders in mangrove forest management. The research was conducted in the East Luwuk mangrove forest, Banggai Regency, Central Sulawesi Province. The results showed that the Key Players had not made a mangrove forest management plan which resulted in a lack of synergy in the activities carried out by the managers. In order for mangroves to be sustainable, it is necessary to increase the role of the community which was originally only a subject to become a key player through community empowerment activities. Provincial and District Governments as well as Universities need to improve from Crowd to Context Setters who have a big influence in policy making. It is necessary to form a Coordination Team for Mangrove Forest Management Strategy at the provincial and district levels to synergize policies and programs for managing mangrove ecosystems. Empowerment activities need to be carried out intensively to encourage a change in the role of mangrove management.
Endogenesis
Authors: Cardini Paolo
Published: May 2022

With the term “Endogenesis”, we aim to highlight design practices and expressions that come from within, bottom-up dynamics, and understand where design belongs as a native species. The focus is dedicated to empirical and vernacular knowledge, first-hand experimentations, and to chase a kind of design that is owned by people and not vice versa. A space in which to question aesthetics and revisit our semiotic biases in matters of form and beauty. Speaking in biological terms, issue 76 aims for a reflection around design as an endogenous act, that lives and grows in specific contexts, rather than being an exogenous element implanted in existing systems with a high risk of rejection. The text also includes reflections and comments on the articles submitted by the authors invited to write for diid’s Open Debate section.
Seniors and the Use of Digital Media in the Post-Pandemic
Authors: Panadisi Giulia
Published: May 2022

The crisis generated by the pandemic and the consequent condition of social distancing has led the senior population to significantly increase the use of digital media to socialise, stay informed, perform physical activity and run online errands.
Starting from the hypothesis that motion design is one of the communication tools most used by seniors to carry out a large number of online activities, this contribution aims to propose strategies to make a motion design project more inclusive even for the older segment of the population.
The examination of the main guidelines on interface design and usability and the analysis of the physical and cognitive characteristics of seniors constitute the methodological basis for defining design strategies to produce animated artefacts that can also be used by the elderly.
Finally, the conclusions trace future intervention scenarios and possible research developments to make the response to the needs of the target audience more effective.

The evolution of research and industry has increased the indeterminacy of problems and their multidimensionality. Simultaneously, the teams facing these problems are now multidisciplinary, and there has been a rising struggle to identify and establish a route that results in innovation. The role of design in this operation has been shown to be crucial, as it defines methods that enable a common frame for researchers from multiple backgrounds, making the development of the project easier and richer. CAPCA Software allows public workers to access real-time information from their territory, allowing for better and on-time decisions aiming for sustainable resource expenditure. Designers in the team conducted a process that connected the diverse team with users, creating a general formulation of the project and then translating this to an interface, demonstrating the importance of the role of design in the methodological approach to these new dynamic problems and digital innovation.
An Open Toolkit for Small-Scale Data Visualizations
Authors: Pronzati Andrea , Mauri Michele
Published: May 2022

Wikipedia represents an open and collaborative encyclopedic environment, and is one of the main sources of information today. The information is encoded, among other formats, in graphics and data visualizations. The source of such pieces of information is various — some are taken from governmental sources, or reports published under Creative Commons licenses, others are created and uploaded by the platform users.
Given the current UI of the Wikipedia platform, however, most of these contents are relegated to small thumbnails, making them difficult to read.
In the research presented here we propose an open toolkit for the design of data visualizations in small spaces — such as thumbnails — conceived for the project’s contributors.
By engaging with the design of visualizations for the platform and contributing to the project, it was possible to identify good practices that were then synthesized in a toolkit openly accessible to all contributors.

Authors: Daou Dolly
Published: May 2022

Beirut Identity is a humanitarian Competition that was initiated to support the Lebanese community after the explosion in the port of Beirut that occurred on August 4th, 2020. Action Design Research (ADR) methodology combined with entrepreneurship education were used as the main drivers to generate real-life impactful projects for the Lebanese community. This Competition reflects my own ‘out of the mainstream’ career trajectory and my vision to create purposeful community projects combining design with actionable knowledge. Beirut Identity raised awareness of the destruction caused by Beirut’s port explosion and invited winning participants to implement their projects with Non-Governmental Organisations (NGO). Supported by a global multi-disciplinary team of co-organisers and participants, the Beirut’s Identity methodology led to the launch of the Citi-Zen-s In Crisis Competition in 2021, regenerating a flow of innovation to help other communities in crisis. This paper will discuss how the action design research methodology that was applied in the Beirut Identity Competition directed participants to design impactful community projects to help rebuild the identity of a disaster zone.
Optimization of Compressive Strength and Porosity of Normal Concrete Using Fly Ash and Alkaline Activators
Authors: Kartini Wahyu , Astawa Made Dharma , Setiawan Hendra
Published: May 2022

The use of cement in the concrete mix is the most expensive material. In the cement production process, there is CO2 emission into the air, which causes the greenhouse effect and global warming. So we need other materials as an alternative to reduce the use of cement by using by-products such as fly ash which is categorized as a Pozzolan material. In this study, fly ash was used with variations of 0%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%, water-cement ratio 0.4. Because fly ash does not have the same binding ability as cement, alkaline activators are needed, namely Sodium Silicate (Na2SiO3) and Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH)  , with molarities of 6M and 8M. To determine the compressive strength of concrete, a compressive test was carried out at the age of 7 days and 28 days and a porosity test at the age of 28 days. The maximum compressive strength of concrete with fly ash content of 90% with a molarity of 6M and 8M. The age compressive strength has the same value. At the age of 7 days is 14.43 MPa. At the age of 28 days, it is 18.39 MPa. The greater the use of fly ash and molarity in concrete, the fewer pores in the concrete because the mixture is more concentrated and round, and the small particle size of fly ash can fill voids in the concrete.

The structure of the steel pile foundation for the Suramadu Bridge crossroad is located in a corrosive marine area. Air humidity, rainwater, mud, or friction with other objects that cause the protective layer to peel off. Corrosion monitoring is carried out to determine the corrosion rate as one of the steps to prevent corrosion. This study aims to evaluate and monitor the bridge's structure Suramadu Causeway. The evaluation carried out includes observing the damage caused by corrosion. So that it will be known the cause of corrosion and the handling of corrosion protection in the building under the bridge, this study used primary and secondary data collection methods and visual observation of damage from routine inspections carried out. The observations show that the condition of the piles is filled with marine life in the tidal area, while for areas that have never been submerged the condition is quite good. The value of the condition of the structural elements at level 3 - 5, which requires protection on steel pillars that have suffered a lot of damage—handling that needs to be done in the Atmospheric zone and Splash zone / Tidal zone is recommended Recoating, Wrapping, HDPE Jacketing, Epoxy Grouting. In the Submerged zone and the Embedded zone, it is recommended that the Cathodic Protection be replaced (120 kg for 600 mm). So from the results of the research that has been done, it can be used as a study for the maintenance of the Suramadu bridge in preventing corrosion.

Purpose. The method for calibrating an experimental installation for studying the patterns of partial discharges aris-ing in samples of paper insulation having low capacitance was developed. Methodology. In order to verify the proposed method, a physical experiment was carried out in a high-voltage laboratory to measure partial discharge parameters using a digital oscilloscope. Free software for circuit simulation was used to create high-pass filter schematics. Results. The task of calibrating the systems for measuring partial discharges of low capacitance insulation samples (for example, ranging from 1 pF to 5 pF) is characterized by high complexity, because the calibration capacitor must have a capacitance an order of magnitude smaller than the capacitance of the test sample (from 0.1 pF to 0.5 pF, accordingly), which sometimes cannot be achieved practically. Moreover, in such case the stray capacitance will obviously be of the same order as the capacitance of calibration capacitor, or even greater. In such cases traditional calibration circuits where calibration generator is connected in parallel with the test object cannot be applied. Originality. Alternate calibration circuit was proposed, implemented and tested in the work, where the calibration generator is connected in series with test object. Practical value. Studies of the proposed calibration method have shown that it can be used quite effectively in cases when test object have low capacitance. The results of recording the calibration pulses showed that they can be reliably recorded and measured with a minimum error (oscilloscope error), and errors associated with parasitic parameters of the recording circuit are automatically taken into account when calibrating by this method and do not require additional adjustments. Conclusions. There is a possibility to increase the sensitivity of the measuring circuit to 0.05 pC/V, primarily by increasing the gain of the oscilloscope at least 100 times without repeating the calibration procedure. This will make it possible to study insulation samples of fairly high quality in which the level of partial discharges is much lower than in those samples used in this work. The experimental installation can be used to analyze different ways of modeling partial discharges on a personal computer and comparing their results with a real experiment.

Informing School-Choosing Families About Their Options: A Field Experiment From New Orleans
Authors: Valant Jon , Weixler Lindsay H.
Published: May 2022

We conducted a randomized controlled trial to assess the effects of providing information to families as they choose schools. Likely applicants to prekindergarten, kindergarten, and ninth grade were assigned to one of three groups. A “growth” group received lists (via U.S. mail, email, and text message) of the highest performing schools they could request. A “distance” group received lists of schools in their home geographic zone. A “control” group did not see any schools highlighted. The growth treatment led applicants to request more high-growth schools, with the strongest effects for high school choosers and families of students with disabilities. In addition, applicants’ first-choice requests appeared less malleable than their lower ranked requests. The distance treatment had only modest effects.

In Bashkir Cis-Urals (Republic of Bashkortostan, Southern Urals region) more than 350 anthropogenically modified peatlands with a total area of over 47000 hectares have been identified. Most of these peatlands were drained. The peat extraction was most actively carried out in the forest-steppe areas in the first half of the 20th century. About 12000 hectares of these peatlands are used as hayfields, more than 7000 hectares – as pastures, the small areas are used for arable land. A significant part of the drained peatland areas are abandoned, and the systems of their drainage channels are not fully functional.
EVALUATION OF CEREALS DROUGHT RESISTANCE BASED ON EMBRYOLOGICAL DATA (ON THE EXAMPLE OF WHEAT)
Authors:   Ufa Institute of Biology of the Ufa Federal Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Zinatullina А.Е.
Published: May 2022

One of the directions of experimental evaluation of plant drought resistance in vitro is to use embryos at one or another stage of development as explants (embryo culture in vitro). The culture in vitro of immature embryos that are at the critical stage of autonomy is especially promising in this regard. Such an embryo, independent of the factors of the maternal organism (mainly physiologically), is able to independently give to the full-fledged adult plant in adequate conditions in vitro and further ex vitro. The article presents an overview of a number of literature and original data on the identification of the stage of embryogenesis autonomy in vivo of spring soft wheat, as well as the use of immature autonomous embryos in assessing drought resistance in selective conditions in vitro. It is emphasized that the prospects of using embryo culture in vitro as an experimental system in assessing plant stress resistance are determined by the provisions that (1) the embryo has all the morphogenetic potentials of an adult organism, (2) morphogenetic plant reactions in natural in vivo and culture in vitro conditions are universal (Batygina, 2014). The article is devoted to the 95th anniversary of the RAS corresponding member T.B. Batygina, who made the significant contribution to solving the problem of critical stages into flowering plants embryogenesis.

Prejudice in Criminal Law: Legal Interpretation
Authors: Timonina Irina
Published: May 2022

Dynamically developing social relations determine the content of Russian law, which periodically undergoes various kinds of changes and transformations under the influence of various factors. In the modern criminal law of Russia there is a process of the birth of the institution of administrative prejudice, which has an ambiguous character. Its "non–ambiguity" is caused by two opposite phenomena - decriminalization, which acts the result of the democratization and liberalization of modern criminal law policy, and criminalization, which, on the contrary, indicates the expansion of the scope of criminal repression. A logical question arises: which of the indicated vectors does the named process gravitate towards.
Defining renewable groundwater use and its relevance to sustainable groundwater management
Authors: Cuthbert Mark , Gleeson Tom , Ferguson Grant , Bierkens Marc , Taylor Richard
Published: May 2022

Groundwater systems are commonly, but variously, defined as renewable or non-renewable based on natural fluxes of recharge or on estimates of aquifer storage and groundwater residence time. However, we show here that the principle of capture challenges simple definitions so that a groundwater system cannot be renewable or non-renewable in and of itself, but only with reference to how the groundwater is being used. We develop and propose more hydraulically-informed definitions for flux-renewable and storage-renewable groundwater use, and a combined definition that encompasses both the flux-based and storage-based perspectives such that: renewable groundwater use allows for dynamically stable re-equilibrium of groundwater levels and quality on human timescales. Further, we show how a matrix of combinations of (1) the ratio of pumping to possible capture along with (2) the response or recovery timescales implicit in this definition, leads to a useful four-quadrant framework for characterising groundwater use, illustrated using case studies from aquifers around the world. Renewable groundwater use may inform pathways to groundwater sustainability, which encompasses a broader set of dimensions (e.g. socio-political, economic, ecological and cultural) beyond the scope of groundwater science. We propose that separating physically robust definitions of renewable groundwater use from the inherently value-based, normative language of sustainability, can help bring much needed clarity to wider discussions about sustainable groundwater management strategies, and the role of groundwater science and scientists in such endeavours.
Using Lagrangian filtering to remove waves from the ocean surface velocity field
Authors: Jones C Spencer , Xiao Qiyu , Abernathey Ryan , Smith K Shafer
Published: May 2022

The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite will measure altimetry on scales down to about 15km: at these scales, the sea-surface-height signature of inertia-gravity waves, including barotropic tides and internal tides, will be visible. However, tides and inertia-gravity waves have little impact on tracer transport. Recent work has shown that Lagrangian filtering can be used to isolate the inertia-gravity wave part of the flow. This manuscript presents a recipe for removing barotropic motions and inertia-gravity waves from the surface velocities and from the sea surface height, to estimate the balanced part of the flow in the Agulhas region of a high-resolution ocean model (LLC4320). First, two methods for removing the barotropic component of sea surface height variability are presented. Then Lagrangian filtering, a method that accounts for Doppler shifting of high-frequency motions by the low-frequency velocity field, is applied to both the sea surface height and the ocean surface velocity field. The results of Lagrangian filtering are presented in spectral space. Lagrangian filtering preserves motions that appear super-inertial in the reference frame of the Earth, while other methods do not preserve these motions as effectively. In some locations most of the energy at high frequencies comes from these Doppler shifted balanced motions. We show that the balanced part of the velocity field that is preserved more effectively by Lagrangian filtering includes convergent motions near regions of frontogenesis.
Complex motion of Greenland Ice Sheet outlet glaciers with basal temperate ice
Authors: Law Robert , Christoffersen Poul , MacKie Emma , Cook Samuel , Haseloff Marianne , Gagliardini Olivier
Published: May 2022

Uncertainty associated with ice motion plagues sea-level rise predictions. Much of this uncertainty arises from imperfect representations of physical processes including basal slip and internal ice deformation, with ice-sheet models largely incapable of reproducing borehole-based observations. To investigate further, we model isolated 3D domains from fast-moving (Sermeq Kujalleq or Store Glacier) and slow-moving (Isunnguata Sermia) ice-sheet settings in Greenland. By incorporating realistic geostatistically simulated topography, we show that a layer of basal temperate ice (much softer ice at the pressure-melting point) with spatially highly variable thickness forms naturally in both settings, alongside ice-motion patterns which are far more complex than previously considered. Temperate ice is vertically extensive in deep troughs, but thins notably over bedrock highs. Basal-slip rates are interconnected with this variability, reaching >90% or <5% of surface velocity dependent on setting. This realistic representation of ice-sheet motion opens new pathways for improving parameterizations in large-scale ice-sheet models.
The Hypository: Registering Hypotheses for Cumulative Science
Authors: Moeller Julia , Langener Anna , Lafit Ginette , Karhulahti Veli-Matti , Bastiaansen Jojanneke A. , Bergmann Christina
Published: May 2022

This article proposes the Hypository, a registration repository for sharing hypotheses resulting from unexpected findings, and hypotheses appearing to be so promising that researchers would like to publish them as soon as possible, whether they have the time and funding to study them or not. The goal of the Hypository is to enable researchers to get credit for their hypotheses when sharing them openly with the research community. The Hypository is expected to improve cumulative science by making sure that the hypothetico-deductive logic is not clouded by rogue intransparent exploratory approaches, while also enabling researchers to make the most of exploratory and/or unexpected findings.The Hypository contributes to solving the theory crisis by nudging researchers to better formalize their theories and hypotheses. It contributes to solving the replicability crisis by enabling researchers to find hypotheses waiting to be studied across labs, samples, and contexts. It contributes to new (or rediscovered) epistemological and methodological perspectives embracing both deductive and inductive steps of the research cycle while mitigating their respective limitations. We describe the possible usages, benefits and the possible features of this new registration platform for hypotheses, and provide a proof-of-concept shiny app and template illustrating the Hypository.

Published: May 2022

The aim of the current study was to examine cross-sectionally the changes in the relationship between short- and long-term memory with age. In two experiments, participants across the age-range were tested on contextual-spatial memories, after short and long memory durations. Experimental control in stimulus materials and task demands enabled analogous encoding and probing for both memory durations. Across the two experiments, we found both short-term memory and long-term memory declined from early to late adulthood in healthy participants. Additionally, there was a significant relationship between short- and long-term memory performance which persisted throughout the age-range. Our findings suggest a significant degree of shared vulnerability for short- and long-term memories sharing the same spatial-contextual associations. Furthermore, our tasks provide a sensitive and promising framework for assessing and comparing memory function at different timescales in disorders with memory deficits at their core.
Integrating Clinician and Patient Case Conceptualization with Momentary Assessment Data to Construct Idiographic Networks: Moving toward Personalized Treatment for Eating Disorders
Authors: Burger Julian , Ralph-Nearman Christina , Levinson Cheri A
Published: May 2022

Eating disorders are serious psychiatric illnesses with treatments ineffective for about 50% of individuals due to 1) high heterogeneity of symptom presentation even within the same diagnoses, 2) a lack of personalized treatments to address this heterogeneity, and 3) the fact that clinicians are left to rely upon their own judgment to decide how to personalize treatment. Idiographic (personalized) networks can be estimated from ecological momentary assessment data, and have been used to investigate central symptoms, which are theorized to be fruitful treatment targets. However, both efficacy of treatment target selection and implementation with ‘real world’ clinicians could be maximized if clinician input is integrated into such networks. An emerging line of research is therefore proposing to integrate case conceptualizations and statistical routines, tying together the benefits from clinical expertise as well as patient experience and idiographic networks. The current pilot compares personalized treatment implications from different approaches to constructing idiographic networks. For three patients with a diagnosis of anorexia nervosa, we compared idiographic networks 1) based on the case conceptualizations from clinicians and patients, 2) estimated from patient EMA data (the current default in the literature), and 3) based on a combination of case conceptualization and patient EMA data networks, drawing on informative priors in Bayesian inference. Centrality-based treatment recommendations differed to varying extent between these approaches for different patients. We discuss implications from these findings, as well as how these models may inform clinical practice by pairing evidence-based treatments with identified treatment targets.
Why is greater income inequality associated with lower life satisfaction and poorer health? Evidence from the European Quality of Life Survey, 2012
Authors: Nettle Daniel , Dickins Thomas Edmund
Published: May 2022

Background. Across countries and states, greater income inequality is associated with lower wellbeing. There are multiple causal pathways that could produce such an association. If the relationship of individual income to wellbeing is downward concave, greater dispersion of the income distribution must reduce average wellbeing. More unequal countries may also provide their residents with worse public services and amenities. Finally, increasing inequality may have direct psychosocial effects by heightening competitiveness and social anxiety. Objectives. Using data from the European Quality of Life Survey 2012, we evaluated the contributions of different causal pathways to associations between income inequality and (a) life satisfaction and (b) self-rated health. Methods. Secondary analysis of 27,571 respondents from 28 countries. Results. In unadjusted analyses, greater income inequality was associated with lower life satisfaction and poorer self-rated health. Of the association between inequality and life satisfaction, 43% was attributable to individual income effects, and 41% to worse public services (especially access to healthcare), leaving 16% possibly due to direct psychosocial effects. The association between income inequality and self-rated health was mainly (68%) due to individual income effects, with the remainder possibly attributable to psychosocial effects. For life satisfaction, we found some evidence of costs of inequality that fall on those with high incomes, though this was not the case for self-rated health. Conclusion. The negative associations between income inequality and wellbeing across European countries are in substantial part due to individual income effects. For life satisfaction, a further portion is attributable to worse public services. For life satisfaction but not self-rated health, income inequality has some negative consequences for those on high incomes as well as low incomes.

Personalizing Prices to Redistribute Wealth in Antitrust and Public Utility Rate Regulation
Authors: Woodcock Ramsi
Published: May 2022

The information age is enabling firms with even small amounts of market power to personalize the prices they charge to each consumer in the market. Left to their own devices, firms will use this new power to increase profits by charging prices personalized to the maximum that each consumer is willing to pay. But government can also use the new power to personalize prices to equalize wealth—by insisting that firms personalize high prices to the rich and low prices to the poor—and most of the legal rules needed to do so are already in place. Both the antitrust laws and state and federal rate regulatory regimes already require enforcers to take the distribution of wealth into account in condemning anticompetitive practices or approving prices. Before the information age made personalized pricing possible, enforcers hesitated aggressively to use their powers to achieve wealth-equalizing prices because they worried that doing so would harm efficiency. But personalized prices are always efficient, whether set high by firms or adjusted by regulators to equalize wealth, creating an unprecedented opportunity for government to do distributive justice.
Strengthening Employer Engagement in CTEVT Technical Schools: Some Practices and Initiatives
Authors: Shrestha Rajendra Bahadur
Published: May 2022

Developing engagements with private sector at all levels of the training programs facilitates the development of workable solutions for school-to-work transitions. Employer engagement in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) system covers a spectrum of cooperation and involves small participation to build the trust required to develop more robust long-term engagement strategies. Engagement of employer is an essential component of overall training programs. It leads to developing responsive labour market skill needs, supporting priority economic sectors, training design and development, training delivery and post training support to develop ongoing dialogue with employer and employer associations. The employer has a crucial role to play in the overall training phases of the training programs. TVET programs as suppliers and the employers as customers are so interrelated that the development of both must go forward hand in hand having practical partnership. The need to increase and strengthen the engagement of employers in TVET programs has been felt for many years in the country. However, employer engagement in the TVET programs of the Council for Technical Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT) is under-explored in Nepal. This article addresses the existing situation, explores issues, and shares some innovative initiations to strengthen the employer engagement in CTEVT technical schools.
Doubly cabibbo-suppressed D decays at BESIII
Authors: Pan Xiang
Published: May 2022

BESIII reports the first observation of the doubly Cabibbo-Suppressed decay D + → K+π +π −π 0 and the first evidence for D + → K+ω using an e +e − collision data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.93 fb−1 taken at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV. The ratio of the branching fractions of D + → K+π +π −π 0 over D + → K−π +π +π 0 is significantly larger than other doubly CabibboSuppressed decays in the charm sector. The CP asymmetry in the separated charge-conjugate branching fractions for D + → K+π +π −π 0 is determined and no evidence of CP violation is found. An independent measurement of D + → K+π +π −π 0 with semileptonic tags is also reported.

Inspired by the Direct and Indirect maximal center gauge methods which identify vortices in lattice calculations, and by using connection formalism, we show that under some appropriate gauge transformations, vortices and chains appear in the continuum limit of QCD vacuum.
Revisions to the Wanakah Formation in and around Ouray County, Colorado
Authors: Jones Lawrence S. , Fenton Cassandra R.
Published: May 2022

A well-defined type section and consistent nomenclature are fundamental requirements for successful correlation of stratigraphic units and subsequent accurate paleogeographic reconstructions. The exact location of the original type section of the Middle Jurassic Wanakah Formation of the eastern Colorado Plateau was found in Ouray County, Colorado. Two nearby reference sections are described that supplement the lithologic descriptions in the original type section. These reference sections and the original type section constitute a “principal reference section” for the Wanakah Formation. Informal names “upper shale beds”, “marl member”, and “beds at Sawpit” have been used to describe the uppermost member of the Wanakah. These terms are replaced with the formal name, “Crooked Tree Member of the Wanakah Formation”, in the reference sections to avoid confusion, foster consistent usage, and facilitate litho-stratigraphic correlation.
