Climate Volatility, Wheat Productivity and Food Security: A Quantile Regression Analysis
Authors: Hussain Babar , Ali Usman , Shaheen Sania , Almas Lal K.
Published: December 2023

Climate change's effects on food crop production are a serious concern due to its linkages with food insecurity. This study attempts to investigate the question of whether and to what extend climate volatility has affected the yield of a major staple crop, the wheat, in the District Faisalabad, the largest agricultural city in Pakistan. Daily base data of temperature and rainfall over the past 33 years is collected, and the average and volatility measures of climate conditions are calculated for the whole crop period as well as for the vegetative and reproductive stages of crop growth. The quantile regression technique is utilized to estimate the influence of climate volatility on wheat yield distribution. The results provide convincing evidence that climate volatility is more damaging to food crops as compared to the gradual changes in rainfall and temperature. Besides, climate volatility is found to have significant effects on both the vegetative and reproductive stages of wheat crop growth. This research unravels the heterogeneous impact of temperature and rainfall across the vegetative and reproductive stages of wheat crop growth. It is hoped that the findings are important to guide policymakers to cope with uncertain climate shocks.
On Boundary Value Problems for Liénard Type Equation
Authors: Kirichuka Anita , Sadyrbaev Felix
Published: December 2023

The generalized Liénard type differential equation is studied together with the two-point linear boundary conditions of the Sturm-Liouville type. The existence and multiplicity of solutions are considered. The existence under suitable conditions is shown to follow from the lower and upper functions theory. For multiplicity, the polar coordinates approach is used. The multiplicity results are based on the comparison between behavior of solutions near the trivial one, and solutions near the special one, which is preassumed to be non-oscillatory. The existence of the latter is required. It is shown also, that these conditions are fulfilled for a relatively broad class of equations. Some examples are constructed, which are supplied by comments and illustrations.

Authors: Halil Isam H. , Moghrabi Issam A.R. , Fawze Ahmed A. , Hassan Basim A. , Khudhur Hisham M.
Published: December 2023

In this paper, we introduce a nonlinear scaled conjugate gradient method, operating on the premise of a descent and conjugacy relationship. The proposed algorithm employs a conjugacy parameter that is determined to ensure that the method generates conjugate directions. It also utilizes a parameter that scales the gradient to enhance the convergence behavior of the method. The derived method not only exhibits the crucial feature of global convergence but also maintains the generation of descent directions. The efficiency of the method is established through numerical tests conducted on a variety of high-dimensional nonlinear test functions. The obtained results attest to the improved behavior of the derived algorithm and support the presented theory.
ПРОБЛЕМА ПСИХОЛОГІЧНОЇ ПІДТРИМКИ КОМБАТАНТІВ І ЦИВІЛЬНОГО НАСЕЛЕННЯ: НАЯВНИЙ СТАН ТА ШЛЯХИ ВИРІШЕННЯ
Authors: Sliusarevskyi Mykola
Published: December 2023

Наукову доповідь присвячено проблемі задоволення потреб суспільства й держави в професійній психологічній підтримці. Зазначено, що породжені локальною війною на Донбасі психологічні виклики вперше в історії України привернули увагу органів влади до цієї проблеми, однак кроки в напрямі її вирішення впродовж перших восьми років російсько-української війни залишалися не доведеними до свого логічного завершення, не вибудувались у цілісну систему і, отже, не відповідали повною мірою наявним викликам. Повномасштабне російське вторгнення в Україну призвело до багатократного зростання кількісних показників і глибини психотравматизації комбатантів і цивільних громадян, що незрівнянно збільшує соціальну та економічну ціну допущених раніше недоліків і прорахунків у вирішенні обговорюваної проблеми. Проаналізовано стан психологічного забезпечення в секторі безпеки й оборони та психологічної допомоги цивільному населенню, яке потерпає від війни. Розкрито основні причини незадовільного стану проблеми, що полягають, зокрема, в недостатньому розвитку вітчизняної психологічної науки і психологічної освіти. Запропоновано конкретні шляхи вирішення проблеми психологічної підтримки комбатантів і цивільного населення в національному масштабі.
Social policy in ensuring social progress
Authors: BEZPALENKO Olha
Published: December 2023

Introduction. The samples of social policies in the United States or European countries are not obligatory for implementation in the Ukrainian economy. However, their essence and corresponding characteristics, such as objectives, objects, subjects, functions, principles, must be scientifically substantiated and legislatively regulated, taking into account historical and national patterns and conditions of development.
The purpose of the paper is the substantiation of the essence of "social policy" with an emphasis on its key directions and primary criteria in the context of ensuring social progress.
Results. Social policy is a multifaceted and diverse concept, ranging from social protection of the population to the coverage of Human capital contributes to social progress through intellectual development, rather than solely manifesting in the growth of the population's income all social spheres. The author has provided a theoretical justification of social policy as a comprehensive concept that should encompass all aspects of social life: social, economic, political - necessary components for human potential development.
Conclusion. Social policy should promote individual human development. Through empirical and theoretical research, the distinctive features of social policy have been summarized and characterized, allowing for an examination of the state of social policy in Ukraine in terms of individual human development on the path to social progress. A hypothesis regarding the harmonization of individualization and socialization elements in the concept of "social policy" is presented. One of the directions of social policy implementation should be the development of the individual. However, the state should be an accessible platform for providing relevant information, creating and supporting projects for achieving individual goals, and guaranteeing their realization.
Improvement of tools for the activity of local public administration bodies in the context of European integration
Authors: MOROZ Viktoriia
Published: December 2023

In the paper, a study of the definition of the concept of tools of local public administration bodies, their types and directions of improvement in the context of European integration was carried out. In particular, the author notes in the paper that the tools of public administration bodies are those actions they take with the purpose of legal regulation of legal relations with their participation, with the aim of regulating them or influencing the participants of such legal relations, ensuring compliance with the rights and interests of the participants of legal relations and the state ( or other public entity) as a whole (forms of public administration), legal means (techniques) that are used (methods of public administration); the concept of "tools of activity of public administration bodies" covers the regulation of administrative legal relations of an external nature. The instruments of activity of local bodies of public administration can be normative legal acts (in the form of orders of heads of local state administrations (including military administrations), orders of heads of territorial communities, decisions of local councils and their executive committees), acts of a programmatic nature (including social programs - economic and cultural development of the community, district, region, target programs on other issues), orders and decisions of an individual nature (including regarding the implementation of administrative-procedural and administrative-delict powers. On the basis of the conducted scientific research, the author came to the conclusion that in order to improve the tools of local public administration bodies in the context of European integration, the practice of concluding administrative contracts by them should be expanded, including regarding the cooperation of public administration subjects and public authority subjects, who, on the one hand, do not belong to the executive branch of state power, and on the other hand, can participate in the implementation of state programs at their own request.
Legal regulation of land parcel normative monetary valuation approval by local self-government authorities
Authors: MOSKALENKO Anastasiia , KHOMENKO Mariia
Published: December 2023

Introduction. In this paper, the legal nature of decisions made by local self-government authorities regarding the approval of technical documentation for normative monetary land valuation is analyzed. The recognition of these decisions as regulatory legal acts has been a complex issue, resulting in numerous disputes within the Ukrainian judiciary. The aim of this analysis is to enhance understanding and offer guidance on the implementation of these decisions within a legal framework.
The purpose of the paper is to assess the legal standing of determinations issued by local self-governing bodies when it comes to the approval of normative monetary land assessments. We aim to determine whether such decisions can be considered regulatory legal acts and how this affects the economic and administrative relations between public administration entities and business entities.
Results. During the analysis, key aspects of law as a societal phenomenon, legal norms, normative legal acts, and their history of emergence were thoroughly examined. Technical documentation related to normative monetary land valuation was also extensively explored. Particular attention was given to the history of land appraisal instruments, demonstrating that the primary objective of these instruments has always been to establish the objective natural characteristics of land, upon which land fees are calculated.
Conclusion. The results of this research clearly indicate that decisions made by local self-government authorities concerning the approval of normative monetary valuation do not qualify as regulatory legal acts. They do not include mandatory legal norms established by law and do not regulate economic or administrative relations between public administration entities and business entities. In practice, this means that business entities have the opportunity to reduce land fees payable to the local budget. The conclusions of this study, supported by legal doctrine and the practical contributions of legal professionals, can be a valuable addition to the field of land law science and practical activities within this realm.

Authors: SUNDUK Tetiana , IVASHKO Olena , CHORNOVOL Alla
Published: December 2023

Today, global financial markets play a key role in improving the efficiency of the global economic system, as they facilitate the rapid redistribution of financial resources at the global level and help direct investments to certain regions and types of economic activity. The purpose of the paper is to study the development of innovative financial instruments and determine their impact on global financial markets. According to this goal, the study has the following tasks: to reveal the essence and components of the global financial market, to determine their role in global financial markets, to develop a classification of innovative financial instruments traded in the financial market, and to propose a periodization of the development of innovative financial instruments. The study was conducted using general scientific methods of cognition. A critical analysis of scientific papers and other sources related to the development of innovative financial instruments and their impact on global financial markets was conducted. Inductive and deductive methods were used to systematize innovative financial instruments in the economic environment over a certain period. Data from various sources were summarized, classified and analyzed to identify patterns of development of innovative financial instruments. The study addresses the relevance of the topic through a number of specific issues, namely: the relationship between financial instruments and the competitiveness of enterprises in financial markets, the development of modern financial technologies, and global financial integration. The object of the study is the global financial market, which operates under conditions of uncertainty and variability. The subject of the study is innovative financial instruments traded in global financial markets. It has been determined that the current economic literature is full of theoretical and empirical data proving that the introduction of innovations in the financial sector has a positive impact on the dynamics of financial markets. It has also been determined that there is some confusion as to which instruments should be classified as "innovative" financial instruments. The study developed a classification of types of innovative financial instruments and offered its own view on the stages of development and formation of innovative financial instruments.

Authors: BUKHANEVYCH Oleksandr , HALUS Olena , RYZHUK Iryna
Published: December 2023

In the paper, a study of theoretical-legal and applied issues of resolving disputes about dismissal from public service in the order of administrative proceedings was carried out. On the basis of the conducted scientific research, the author came to the conclusion that in judicial practice in cases of public service, admission to public service and dismissal from it, questions still arise regarding the assignment or non-attribution of this or that work activity to positions in state authorities , local self-government, judicial and law-enforcement bodies to public service positions (primarily regarding the classification of such persons as patronage employees, persons hired under a fixed-term employment contract outside the competition, persons occupying positions in judicial bodies, bodies of legislative power). In this regard, the Supreme Court expressed legal positions regarding the classification of a dispute regarding the dismissal of a person from a position as a public legal issue as to whether a person passed a competition for a vacant position, whether such a person took the oath of an official, or was assigned a rank within the relevant category of positions, as well as the fact that the specifics of the dismissal of a public servant, the procedure for such dismissal and the relevant legal grounds must be contained in special legislation, and the norms of the Code of Labor Laws apply only in case of legal uncertainty. Issues of the possibility of reinstatement of a public servant in a position in case of dismissal by agreement of the parties, the legality of the dismissal of a public servant if, during organizational and staffing measures in the state authority, at the same time as reduction positions, new positions are introduced that correspond to the direction of training or the main or related specialty of the public servant who is released.

Authors: VOLKOVETSKYI Danylo , VOLKOVETSKA Svitlana
Published: December 2023

The paper examines the need for legal education of Ukrainian youth, which is considered as a necessary condition for real democracy and the development of a successful Ukrainian state. Education becomes an extremely important and effective key factor of influence on the formation of intelligence of a young person who will become both a qualified specialist and a person with a sense of personal dignity and responsibility. Education should direct the development of a student's personality towards the perception of democratic values and direct his/her efforts to participate in the formation of civil society institutions, the formation of a position of negative attitude towards the wrong ways of solving problems.
Legal education is a structural component of education in Ukraine, the process of acquiring legal knowledge, skills and abilities, forming respect of law, legislation, rights, freedoms and responsibilities of a citizen, relevant legal orientations and assessments, legal behavioural attitudes and motives for lawful conduct, etc.
In addition to general legal training, awareness of rights and obligations of citizens in the democratic society, and the legal system of Ukrainian society as a whole, the legal education of students should be included in the complex of educational activities. The training should be aimed at gaining by students the level of legal knowledge and skills, the ability to apply them in practice while exercising their rights and freedoms, as well as the performance of duties entrusted to them as specialists in a particular field of responsibilities.

Published: December 2023

In a brand-new era, with chaotic scenario that exists within the world, people are undermined with diverse psychological assaults. There have been numerous sensible approaches on the way to understand and lessen those attacks. Bioscrypt developments have verified to be one of the beneficial approaches for intercepting these troubles. Identifying recognition through human iris organ is said as one of the well-known biometric strategies because of its reliability and higher accurate return in comparison to different developments. Reviewing beyond literatures, terrible imaging condition, low flexibility of version, and small length iris image dataset are the constraints desiring solutions. Among these kinds of developments, the iris popularity structures are suitable gear for the human identification. Iris popularity has been an energetic studies location for the duration of previous couple of decades, due to its extensive packages in the areas, from airports to native land protection border protection. In the past, various functions and methods for iris recognition have been presented. Despite of the very fact that there are many approaches published in this field, there are still liberal amount of problems in this methodology like tedious and computational intricacy. We suggest an all-encompassing deep learning architecture for iris recognition supported by a genetic algorithm and a Wavelet Transformation, which may jointly learn the feature representation and perform recognition to realize high efficiency. With just a few training photos from each class, we train our model on a well-known iris recognition dataset and demonstrate improvements over prior methods. We think that this architecture can be frequently employed for various biometric recognition jobs, assisting in the development of a more scalable and precise system. The exploratory aftereffects of the proposed technique uncover that the strategy is effective inside the iris acknowledgment.
Fürstliche Hofmusik in Schleswig-Holstein im 18. Jahrhundert
Authors: Lassen Matthias
Published: December 2023

The state of research is very different for court music at the various Schleswig-Holstein princely (ducal) courts in the 18th century. As a result of contacts with Telemann, music at the Plön court has been dealt
with more thoroughly, while only smaller works exist for the courts in Eutin and Kiel for the 18th century. To date, however, there is no literature available on musical life at the courts in Glücksburg
and Friedrichsruh-Drage. The circumstances and source situations at the various courts differ significantly. The importance of individual biographical studies as preliminary work for the presentation of the
respective courtly overall picture as well as the synergy effects of the joint research of the princely (ducal) courts in Schleswig-Holstein are emphasized. New findings are presented, e.g. on the biographies of
the Glücksburg court music director and composer Christian Andreas Rezel (1713–1792), the Plön court musician and composer Gottfried Eusebius Nauert (1721–1800), and the family of the Glücksburg court musician
Peter Jacob Palschau († 1793).
Instructional Communication in International High School in DKI Jakarta: A Case Study
Authors: RATIH Dina S.V. , CANGARA Hafied , SANTOSA Nandang M.
Published: December 2023

Instructional communication is an important element in educational communication between teachers and students. The high school international school environment is different from the national school. This study aims to find out the influence and results of analysis on international school standards and teacher competence in high schools located in DKI Jakarta on instructional communication and communication behaviour. The methodology used is a mixed sequential explanatory method, conducting a survey of high school level students at an international school in DKI Jakarta and processed through semi-structural interviews and literature. The results shown that international school standards directly influence communication behaviour but not directly affect instructional communication. While teacher competence directly influences instructional communication, not directly affect communication behaviour. However, instructional communication as an intervening variable increases influence on international school standards and teacher competence on communication behaviour. Hence, the environment and the teacher's competence influence how the teacher teaches and acts as a model through verbal and nonverbal instructional communication. However, cultural and experiential also influence how Indonesian and foreign teachers apply instructional communication and react to students. The reactions of the two communities are sometimes different and have an impact on the profile of students who study abroad.

Published: December 2023

Banks have a very vital task in maintaining the Indonesian economy. One of the main tasks of banks is to collect and distribute public funds. Banks channel public funds through loans that get rewards in the form of loan interest. This research focuses on studying what factors affect the amount of credit in the long run. This study uses deposits, lending rates (SBK), non-performing loans (NPL), GDP growth, inflation as internal and external factors that affect the amount of lending to commercial banks. The results showed that partially deposits had a negative and significant effect, NPL had a negative and significant effect, SBK had a negative but insignificant effect, GDP growth had a positive and significant effect and inflation had a positive but insignificant effect on the amount of lending to commercial banks in Indonesia. While simultaneously deposits, loan interest rates (SBK), non-performing loans (NPL), GDP growth, inflation have a significant effect on the amount of lending to commercial banks in Indonesia in 2012-2019.
Polarization Criterion in Targeted SETI Observation
Authors: Li Jian-Kang , Chen Yu , Huang Bo-Lun , Tao Zhen-Zhao , Luan Xiao-Hang , Sun Xiao-Hui , Zhang 张 Tong-Jie 同杰 , Gajjar Vishal
Published: December 2023

In this paper, we propose a novel method for distinguishing extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI) signals from radio frequency interference (RFI) by leveraging polarization features. We exploit the sinusoidal variation of the linearly polarized components of Stokes parameters with the parallactic angle as a characteristic signature of ETI signals, while such linearly polarized components remain relatively stable for terrestrial RFI. Typically, a minimum of 4–8 hr of observation time is required to detect these sinusoidal variations. The polarization approach in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence also enables us to study the radio stellar bursts emitted by M-type stars as ancillary science, which is relevant to assessing the habitability of exoplanets. Compared to the frequency drift method, the polarization method effectively reduces the required observation time for signal identification while improving the signal identification process.

We have discovered evidence of cometary activity originating from (551023) 2012 UQ192 (alternately designated 2019 SN40), which we dynamically classify as a Jupiter Family Comet (JFC). JFCs have eccentric Jupiter-crossing orbits and originate in the Kuiper Belt. Analysis of these objects can provide vital information about minor planets in the outer solar system, such as the distribution of volatiles within the solar system. Activity on 2012 UQ192 was first recognized by volunteers on our NASA Partner Citizen Science project Active Asteroids. Through our own examination of archival image data, we found a total of ∼30 images presenting strong evidence of activity near perihelion during two separate orbits. 2012 UQ192 is notable as we found it to be recurrently active. When 2012 UQ192 approaches its perihelion passage in 2027 September, we predict it will reactivate and will be a prime subject for follow-up observations.
Synthetic Detections of Interstellar Objects with the Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time
Authors: Marčeta Dušan , Seligman Darryl Z.
Published: December 2023

The discovery of two interstellar objects passing through the solar system, 1I/‘Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov, implies that a galactic population exists with a spatial number density of order ∼0.1 au−3. The forthcoming Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) has been predicted to detect more asteroidal interstellar objects like 1I/‘Oumuamua. We apply recently developed methods to simulate a suite of galactic populations of interstellar objects with a range of assumed kinematics, albedos, and size–frequency distributions (SFDs). We incorporate these populations into the objectsInField algorithm, which simulates detections of moving objects by an arbitrary survey. We find that the LSST should detect between ∼0 and 70 asteroidal interstellar objects every year (assuming the implied number density), with sensitive dependence on the SFD slope and characteristic albedo of the host population. The apparent rate of motion on the sky—along with the associated trailing loss—appears to be the largest barrier to detecting interstellar objects. Specifically, a relatively large number of synthetic objects would be detectable by the LSST if not for their rapid sky motion (>0.°5 day−1). Therefore, algorithms that could successfully link and detect rapidly moving objects would significantly increase the number of interstellar object discoveries with the LSST (and in general). The mean diameter of detectable, inactive interstellar objects ranges from ∼50 to 600 m and depends sensitively on the SFD slope and albedo.

Authors: Zabelina Evgeniya V. , Kozlova Nina S. , Buzanov Oleg A.
Published: December 2023

Nominally pure lanthanum-gallium tantalate La3Ga5.5Ta0.5O14 crystals doped with aluminum, silicon and gallium oxide to above stoichiometric content have been grown by the Czochralski technique in iridium crucibles in argon and in agron with addition of oxygen atmospheres. The transmittance spectra of the crystals have been measured on a Cary-5000 UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer in the 200–800 nm range. Absorption spectra α(λ) have been plotted on the basis of the experimental data. The absorption spectra of the undoped crystals grown in an oxygen-free atmosphere have one weak absorption band at λ ~ 290 nm. The absorption spectra of the crystals grown in an agron with addition of oxygen have absorption bands at λ ~ 290, 360 and 480 nm. We show that for the crystals grown in an oxygen-free atmosphere, gallium doping to above stoichiometric content reduces the intensity of its only λ ~ 290 nm absorption band. Aluminum doping of the La3Ga5.5Ta0.5O14 crystals grown in an oxygen-free atmosphere significantly reduces the intensity of the λ ~ 290 nm absorption band and increases the intensity of the λ ~ 360 and 480 nm bands. Aluminum doping of the La3Ga5.5Ta0.5O14 crystals grown in an oxygen-containing atmosphere reduces the intensity of the λ ~ 360 and 480 nm bands and increases the intensity of the λ ~ 290 nm absorption band. Silicon doping of these crystals significantly reduces the intensity of the λ ~ 480 nm band and also reduces the intensity of the λ ~ 290 and 360 nm bands.

Published: December 2023

Vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides) has received extensive attention in recent years due to its diverse applications in soil and water conservation, heavy metal remediation, as well as essential oil and phenolic acids extraction. In 2019, the emergence of tar spot disease on C. zizanioides was documented in Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province, China. Initially, the disease manifested as black ascomata embedded within leaf tissue, either scattered or clustered on leaf surfaces. Subsequently, these ascomata became surrounded by fisheye lesions, characterised by brown, elliptical, necrotic haloes, which eventually coalesced, resulting in leaf withering. Koch’s postulates demonstrated that the fungus isolated from these lesions was the causal agent. Microscopic examination showed that the pathogen morphologically belonged to Microdochium. The phylogenetic tree inferred from the combined ITS, LSU, tub2 and rpb2 sequences revealed the three isolates including GDMCC 3.683, LNU-196 and LNU-197 to be a novel species of Microdochium. Combining the results of phylogenetic, pathogenicity and morphological analyses, we propose a new species named M. chrysopogonis as the causal agent of C. zizanioides in southern China. The optimum growth temperature for M. chrysopogonis was determined to be 30 °C. The in vitro fungicide sensitivity of M. chrysopogonis was determined using a mycelial growth assay. Four demethylation-inhibiting (DMI) fungicides, including difenoconazole, flusilazole, propiconazole and tebuconazole and one methyl benzimidazole carbamate (MBC) fungicide, carbendazim, were effective against M. chrysopogonis, with mean 50% effective concentration (EC50) values of 0.077, 0.011, 0.004, 0.024 and 0.007 μg/ml, respectively. These findings provide essential references for the precise diagnosis and effective management of M. chrysopogonis.
An integrative approach to species delimitation sinks three Chinese limestone karst Elatostema (Urticaceae) species

Elatostema is recognized as a taxonomically difficult group due to the reduced nature of the tiny flowers and inflorescences, also the large number of species (ca 650 to 700). Different opinions on morphological species delimitation have resulted in instability, which is problematic in such a speciose group. In this paper, the taxonomic status of three putative species, E. robustipes, E. scaposum, E. conduplicatum and their hypothetical closest relatives, was revised using morphological and molecular observations. Morphological comparison suggested high similarity between E. robustipes & E. retrohirtum, E. scaposum & E. oblongifolium, E. conduplicatum & E. coriaceifolium, respectively. Phylogenetic analyses of four universal DNA barcodes (ITS, trnH-psbA, matK and rbcL) suggested that each species pair represents a single evolutionary lineage. Taking these two findings together, we propose E. robustipes to be a synonym of E. retrohirtum, E. scaposum a synonym of E. oblongifolium, and E. conduplicatum a synonym of E. coriaceifolium. Our results recover the number, shape and size of the bracts and bracteoles to be relatively stable characters, and the disposition of the male inflorescences on modified stems to be an unstable character, unsuitable for species delimitation in Elatostema.
Représentations du sujet et technique de la relation. La place du dialogue interdisciplinaire
Authors: Guerra Giovanni
Published: December 2023

La clinique dans le champ psycho-médicosocial nécessite un travail entre différentes professions qui doivent trouver un lieu de rencontre. À la suite d’une suggestion de J.-P. Pinel, l’article indique ce lieu dans le thème des représentations du sujet. La discussion sur les représentations suppose une analyse épistémologique non seulement des théories, mais plus particulièrement de la théorie de la technique. Une analyse de la psychologie en termes de projets est proposée, dans la lignée de G. Canguilhem, qui permet d’identifier trois représentations distinctes du sujet : passif, active, autonome. Ces représentations soutiennent des pratiques cliniques différentes qui définissent la position de l’usager et, complémentairement, celle du psychologue. Les mêmes caractéristiques d’autonomie se retrouvent dans les représentations de l’organisme en médecine, malgré la différence totale des substrats. Les analogies dans les représentations du sujet et de l’organisme ainsi que dans les positions du professionnel et de l’usager, indiquent la voie d’un possible dialogue convivial entre différentes professions.
Penser les institutions avec Jean-Pierre Pinel et quelques autres
Authors: Delion Pierre
Published: December 2023

Afin de rendre hommage à Jean-Pierre Pinel, cet article se veut une mise en perspective historique rappelant l’inscription de ses travaux dans le cadre de « l’extension de la psychanalyse » prônée par René Kaës. Il propose d’établir des liens entre quelques-uns des concepts qu’il a « inventés » (homologie fonctionnelle, nostalgie mélancolique/vivifiante, incorporât institutionnel) et ceux de la psychothérapie institutionnelle (constellation transférentielle notamment) mais aussi ceux portant sur la trilogie phorique (fonction phorique, fonction sémaphorique et fonction métaphorique).
Intertemporal Hedging and Trade in Repeated Games With Recursive Utility
Authors: Kochov Asen , Song Yangwei
Published: December 2023

Two key features distinguish the general class of recursive preferences from the standard model of dynamic choice: (i) agents may care about the intertemporal distribution of risk, and (ii) their rates of time preference, rather than being fixed, may vary with the level of consumption. We investigate what these features imply in the context of a repeated strategic interaction. First, we show that opportunities for intertemporal trade may expand the set of feasible payoffs relative to that in a static interaction. Two distinct sources for such trade are identified:
endogenous heterogeneity in the players' rates of time preference and a
hedging motive pertaining to the intertemporal distribution of risk. The set of equilibrium payoffs may on the other hand shrink drastically as many efficient outcomes become unsustainable no matter the level of patience. This “antifolk” result occurs when the players prefer stage outcomes to be positively correlated rather than independent across time. Intuitively, such preferences make it inefficient to offset short‐term losses with future gains, while this is needed to ensure that security levels are met on path. We also establish a folk theorem: if security levels
are met on path, such play can be sustained in a subgame perfect equilibrium provided that the players are sufficiently patient.
Rethinking the Welfare State
Authors: Guner Nezih , Kaygusuz Remzi , Ventura Gustavo
Published: December 2023

The United States spends significant amounts on non‐medical transfers for its working‐age population in a wide range of programs that support low‐ and middle‐income households. How valuable are these programs for U.S. households? Are there simpler, welfare‐improving ways to transfer resources that are supported by a majority? What are the macroeconomic effects of such alternatives? We answer these questions in an equilibrium, life‐cycle model with single and married households who face idiosyncratic productivity risk, in the presence of costly children and potential skill losses of females associated with non‐participation. Our findings show that a potential revenue‐neutral elimination of the welfare state generates large welfare losses in the aggregate, although most households support the move as losses are concentrated among a small group. We find that aUniversal Basic Incomeprogram does not improve upon the current system. If, instead, per‐person transfers are implemented alongside a proportional tax, aNegative Income Taxexperiment, it becomes feasible to improve upon the current system. Providing per‐person transfers to all households is costly, and reducing tax distortions helps to provide for resources to expand redistribution.
A Comment on:
“Low Interest Rates, Market Power, and Productivity Growth”
Authors: Chikis Craig A. , Goldberg Jonathan , López-Salido David
Published: December 2023

Using an endogenous growth model, Liu, Mian, and Sufi (2022) (LMS) show that a decline in the interest rate can lead to a fall in productivity growth and a rise in leader‐laggard productivity gaps and firm profits. We identify two issues in their quantitative analysis of transition dynamics: a time‐scale error and the omission of composition terms in calculating productivity growth along the transition to a new balanced growth path. Correcting the time‐scale error and including the composition terms, the decline in the interest rate that LMS study leads to a large and protracted productivity boom lasting about 20 years. In addition, the average leader‐laggard gap grows much more slowly than reported in their paper. We also point out an issue in their quantitative analysis of steady‐state profit shares. These issues are related to the quantitative exercises, and do not affect the key theoretical contributions of LMS.
Moral subjectivism and the semantics of disagreements
Authors: Sommavilla Vitor
Published: December 2023

In this paper, I discuss which semantic theory moral subjectivists should adopt. Moral subjectivism is understood broadly to include all theories according to which moral sentences are truth-apt, at least sometimes true, and made true by the mental attitudes of certain relevant agent or set of agents. Due to the breadth of this definition, an initial concern is whether a unified semantic approach is able to accommodate all varieties of subjectivism. I argue that it is. I then proceed to analyse the main semantic theories for moral sentences as they apply to the standard issue of moral disagreements. I conclude in favour of so-called Non-Indexical Contextualism.
