title: Evaluating Leniency with Missing Information on Undetected Cartels: Exploring Time-Varying Policy Impacts on Cartel Duration
Creators: name: Zhou, Jun
Publisher: name: Universitätsbibliothek der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: 330

description: This paper examines the effects of European Commission’s (EC) new leniency program on the EC’s capabilities in detecting and deterring cartels. As a supplementary analysis, the US leniency is studied. I discuss a dynamic model of cartel formation and dissolution to illustrate how changes in antitrust policies and economic conditions might affect cartel duration. Comparative statics results are then corroborated with empirical estimates of hazard functions adjusted to account for both the heterogeneity of cartels and the time-varying policy impacts suggested by theory. Contrary to earlier studies, my statistical tests are consistent with the theoretic predictions that following an efficacious leniency program, the average duration of discovered cartels rises in the short run and falls in the long run. The results shed light on the design of enforcement programs against cartels and other forms of conspiracy.

description: We use a simple balanced budget contest to collect taxes on a private good in order to ?nance a pure public good. We show that-with an appropriately chosen structure of winning probabilities-this contest can provide the public good efficiently and without distorting private consumption. We provide extensions to multiple public goods and private taxation sources, asymmetric preferences, and show the mechanism’s robustness across these settings.

description: CSF Summer Seminar at Monte Verità, Switzerland, August 19-24, 2018

Co-organized by the Universities of Lausanne and Luxembourg, and USI Università della Svizzera Italiana

The summer seminar aims to rethink media history from the margins and to place at the center of our attention neglected, alternative, or censured media texts, uses, and technologies. By shifting the discussion from hegemonic actors, dominant institutions, and successful mass media to the fringes of media history, it pursues the double objective of rewriting media history into media histories, and of opening a space to rethink historiographical practices and methods. The writing of marginal histories is inseparable from a reflection on the modes of operation and politics of historical writing: bringing together established and emerging scholars, the seminar investigates what has been left over by hegemonic mass media and hegemonic historical narratives.

Religious prevention and de-radicalization measures to the test of secularity (at the margin of some of the Court’s measures of Bari).
The article examines how the terrorist emergence of Islamic matrix has reproached the issue of reconciliation between the need for security and the protection of the rights of liberty, in particular religious freedom. It highlights the need to accompany, to purely punitive nature rules, the spread of a novel paradigm, covering preventive interventions, educational and formative, in order to promote intercultural and inter-religious integration. The decree of the court, which, in accordance with the principle of secularism, has prescribed, in view of the social recovery of the subject proposed for the application of the prevention measure, a process of de-radicalization, through the involvement of an intercultural mediator, on the basis of Guide-lines developed by the University of Bari.

Subjects: subject: 330

description: There have long been claims that compensations for noneconomic damages are random because tort law does not provide clear guidance regarding these compensations. I investigate, in both settled and tried medical malpractice cases, whether noneconomic damage payments are arbitrary and what determines the probability and size of these payments. I find that payments for noneconomic damages are not completely random. They vary, in predictable ways, with observable characteristics of the case. The data suggest similar patterns in non-medical malpractice cases. I end by discussing the implications of my findings for the debate on the efficiency and rationale of noneconomic damage compensation.

description: Does the internet increase competition? To address this question, I exploit two institutional details unique to Germany: (1) Some municipalities received glass fibre cables that cannot be upgraded to DSL; I use these municipalities as a treatment group with reduced online competition. (2) German law mandates resale price maintenance for books; I compare three retailing sectors, electronics (price competition), books (no price competition), and food (no online sales), to identify the effect of price competition: The effect of price competition is highly significant. Full broadband access reduces offline electronics retailers’ producer rents by 1.5 percent per year from 1999 to 2007.
title: Empirische Übersetzungskritik
Creators: name: Scholl, Maria
Year: 2013

description: Die empirische Rezeptionsforschung hat in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten eine Reihe von Fragestellungen bearbeitet – zumeist allerdings nicht in den Kerngebieten der Literaturwissenschaft, sondern in den interdisziplinären Randbezirken, vor allem in Zusammenarbeit mit Psychologie, Soziologie oder Linguistik. Die vorliegende Arbeit will eine neue Anwendung der empirischen Perspektive erschließen, die sowohl von hoher praktischer Relevanz als auch von einer starken Ausrichtung an den klassischen Themen der vergleichenden Literaturwissenschaft gekennzeichnet ist: Im Feld der literarischen Übersetzungskritik. Indem empirisch erhobene Rezeptionsprofile eines Originaltexts, sowie von mehreren Übersetzungen dieses Texts verglichen werden, können Schlüsse über die Qualität der Übersetzungen gezogen werden. Dem empirischen Teil der Untersuchung geht eine detaillierte Textanalyse voran, deren Beobachtungen schließlich von realen Leseerfahrungen empirisch validiert werden. Als Text für eine erste Anwendung dieser Methode wurde Rainer Maria Rilkes erste Duineser Elegie gewählt, ein Werk von hoher literaturgeschichtlicher Bedeutung, mit einer intensiven Übersetzungsgeschichte ins Englische und mit einer starken Charakteristik der Polyvalenz – einer Texteigenschaft, die gerade poetische Texte zum Problemfall für eine Übersetzungskritik macht, die sich nur auf einen theoretischen Regelkanon stützt. Die empirische Studie wurde mit n=80 Teilnehmern durchgeführt, sämtlich muttersprachliche Rezipienten, die sich durch ein Literaturstudium als kompetente Leser qualifizieren.
description: Empirical reader response approaches to literary texts have suceeded in a variety of research areas – though mostly not in the core fields of literary studies, but in the interdisciplinary outskirts, shared with psychology, sociology or linguistics. This thesis aims to explore a new application of empirical studies on literary reception with high relevance to the research interests of classical literary studies: in the area of literary translation criticism. By comparing reader response profiles to an original text as well as to different translations of that text, conclusions to the quality of the translations can be drawn from the similarity of the profiles. The empirical part of the study is preceded by and based on a detailed comparative analysis of the texts, the observations from that analysis being empirically validated by real reading experiences. For this particular study, Rainer Maria Rilkes first Duino Elegy was chosen, as a text with high value in literary history, with a very intense translation history into English and with a poetic profile strongly characterized by the phenomenon of polyvalence – a feature of literary texts that makes it even more difficult to determine the quality of a translation by a theoretical set of rules. The study itself was conducted with n=80 participants, all native-speaking readers, chosen from university students of literature programmes.

Subjects: subject: Field and Lab Experiments, External Validity, Public Goods, Team Production
subject: 330

description: We run a public good experiment in the field and in the lab with (partly) the same subjects. The field experiment is a true natural field experiment as subjects do not know that they are exposed to an experimental variation. We can show that subjects' behavior in the classic lab public good experiment correlates with their behavior in the structurally comparable public good treatment in the field but not with behavior in any of two control treatments we ran in the field. This effect is also economically significant. We conclude that a) the classic lab public good experiment captures important aspects of structurally equivalent real life situations and b) that behavior in lab and field at least in our setting is driven by the same underlying forces.

description: This paper explores the impact of financial constraints on the internationalization strategies of firms. It contributes to the literature by focusing on three aspects: First, the paper studies the impact of financial constraints on exporting relative to FDI. Consistent with theory, the empirical results confirm that the impact of financial constraints is stronger for FDI than for exporting. Second, the paper analyzes the extensive and the intensive margins and finds that financial frictions matter for both. Third, the paper explores the impact on manufacturing as compared to service industries and shows that firms in service industries are affected more than firms in manufacturing. The paper also identifies a threshold effect: Financial constraints do not matter for small firms whose productivity seems to be too low to consider international expansions.

description: Based on a database of 326 merger cases scrutinized by the European Commission between 1990 and 2007, we evaluate the economic impact of the change in European merger legislation in 2004. We ?rst propose a general framework to assess merger policy effectiveness, which is based on standard oligopoly theory and makes use of stockmarket reactions as an external assessment of the merger and the merger control decision. We then focus on four different dimensions of effectiveness: 1) legal certainty; 2) frequency and determinants of type I and type II errors; 3) rent-reversion achieved by different merger policy tools; and 4) deterrence of anti-competitive mergers. To infer the economic impact of the merger policy reform, we compare the results of our four tests before and after its introduction. Our results suggest that the policy reform seems to have been only a modest improvement of European merger policy.

Subjects: subject: cheating; social norms; experimental design
subject: 330

description: We present evidence from a laboratory experiment showing that individuals who believe they were treated unfairly in an interaction with another person are more likely to cheat in a subsequent unrelated game. Specifically, subjects first participated in a dictator game. They then flipped a coin in private and reported the outcome. Subjects could increase their total payoff by cheating, i.e., lying about the outcome of the coin toss. We found that subjects were more likely to cheat in reporting the outcome of the coin flip when: 1) they received either nothing or a very small transfer from the dictator; and 2) they claimed to have been treated unfairly. This is consistent with the view that experiencing a norm violation is sufficient to justify the violation of another norm at the expense of a third party. This result extends the growing literature on social norms.

description: Melastomataceae are among the most abundant and diversified groups of plants throughout the tropics, but their intrafamily relationships and morphological evolution are poorly understood. Here we report the results of parsimony and maximum likelihood (ML) analyses of cpDNA sequences from the rbcL and ndhF genes and the rpl16 intron, generated for eight outgroups (Crypteroniaceae, Alzateaceae, Rhynchocalycaceae, Oliniaceae, Penaeaceae, Myrtaceae, and Onagraceae) and 54 species of melastomes. The sample represents 42 of the family’s currently recognized ~150 genera, the 13 traditional tribes, and the three subfamilies, Astronioideae, Melastomatoideae, and Memecyloideae (= Memecylaceae DC.). Parsimony and ML yield congruent topologies that place Memecylaceae as sister to Melastomataceae. Pternandra, a Southeast Asian genus of 15 species of which five were sampled, is the firstbranching Melastomataceae. This placement has low bootstrap support (72%), but agrees with morphological treatments that placed Pternandra in Melastomatacaeae because of its acrodromal leaf venation, usually ranked as a tribe or subfamily. The interxylary phloem islands found in Memecylaceae and Pternandra, but not most other Melastomataceae, likely evolved in parallel because Pternandra resembles Melastomataceae in its other wood characters. A newly discovered plesiomorphic character in Pternandra, also present in Memecylaceae, is a fibrous anther endothecium. Higher Melastomataceae lack an endothecium as do the closest relatives of Melastomataceae and Memecylaceae. The next deepest split is between Astronieae, with anthers opening by slits, and all remaining Melastomataceae, which have anthers opening by pores. Within the latter, several generic groups, corresponding to traditional tribes, receive solid statistical support, but relationships among them, with one exception, are different from anything predicted on the basis of morphological data. Thus, Miconieae and Merianieae are sister groups, and both are sister to a trichotomy of Bertolonieae, Microlicieae + Melastomeae, and Dissochaeteae + Blakeeae. Sonerileae/Oxysporeae are nested within Dissochaeteae, Rhexieae within Melastomeae, and African and Asian Melastomeae within neotropical Melastomeae. These findings have profound implications for our understanding of melastome morphological evolution (and biogeography), implying, for example, that berries evolved from capsules minimally four times, stamen connectives went from dorsally enlarged to basal/ventrally enlarged, and loss of an endothecium preceded poricidal dehiscence.

description: Melastomataceae and Memecylaceae are pantropically distributed sister groups for which an ndhF gene phylogeny for 91 species in 59 genera is here linked with Eurasian and North American fossils in a molecular clock approach to biogeographical reconstruction. Nine species from the eight next-closest families are used to root phylogenetic trees obtained under maximum likelihood criteria. Melastomataceae comprise â¼3000 species in the neotropics, â¼1000 in tropical Asia, 240 in Africa, and 225 in Madagascar in 150-166 genera, and the taxa sampled come from throughout this geographic range. Based on fossils, ranges of closest relatives, tree topology, and calibrated molecular divergences, Melastomataceae initially diversified in Paloecene/Eocene times in tropical forest north of the Tethys. Their earliest (Eocene) fossils are from northeastern North America, and during the Oligocene and Miocene melastomes occurred in North America as well as throughout Eurasia. They also entered South America, with earliest (Oligocene) South American fossils representing Merianieae. One clade (Melastomeae) reached Africa from the neotropics 14-12 million years ago and from there spread to Madagascar, India, and Indochina. Basalmost Melastomataceae (Kibessieae, Astronieae) are species-poor lineages restricted to Southeast Asia. However, a more derived Asian clade (Sonerileae/Dissochaeteae) repeatedly reached Madagascar and Africa during the Miocene and Pliocene. Contradicting earlier hypotheses, the current distribution of Melastomataceae is thus best explained by Neogene long-distance dispersal, not Gondwana fragmentation.

Subjects: subject: Ascarina, biogeography, Chloranthaceae, Hedyosmum, long-distance dispersal, molecular clock, Sarcandra
subject: 580

description: Evidence from the fossil record, comparative morphology, and molecular phylogenetic analyses indicates that Chloranthaceae are among the oldest lineages of flowering plants alive today. Their four genera (ca. 65 species) today are disjunctly distributed in the Neotropics, China, tropical Asia, and Australasia, with a single species in Madagascar but none in mainland Africa. In the Cretaceous, Chloranthaceae occurred in much of Laurasia as well as Africa, Australia, and southern South America. We used DNA sequence data from the plastid rbcL gene, the rpl20-rps12 spacer, the trnL intron, and the trnL-F spacer to evaluate intra-Chloranthaceae relationships and geographic disjunctions. In agreement with earlier analyses, Hedyosmum was found to be sister to the remaining genera, followed by Ascarina and Chloranthus + Sarcandra. Bayesian and parsimony analyses of the combined data yielded resolved and well-supported trees except for polytomies among Andean Hedyosmum and Madagascan-Australasian-Polynesian Ascarina. The sole Asiatic species of Hedyosmum, Hedyosmum orientale from Hainan, China, was sister to Caribbean and Neotropical species. Likelihood ratio tests on the rbcL data set did not reject the assumption of a clock as long as the long-branched outgroup Canella was excluded. Two alternative fossil calibrations were used to convert genetic distances into absolute ages. Calibrations with Hedyosmum-like flowers from the Barremian-Aptian or Chloranthus-like androecia from the Turonian yielded substitution rates that differed by a factor of two, illustrating a perhaps unsolvable problem in molecular clock-based studies that use several calibration fossils. The alternative rates place the onset of divergence among crown group (extant) species of Hedyosmum at 60 or 29 Ma, between the Paleocene and the Oligocene; that among extant Chloranthus at 22 or 11 Ma; and that among extant Ascarina at 18 or 9 Ma, implying long-distance dispersal between Madagascar and Australasia-Polynesia.

subject: 580

description: The evolution of Arisaema is reconstructed, based on combined sequences (2048 aligned bases) from the chloroplast trnL intron, trnL-trnF spacer, and rpl20-rps12 spacer obtained for species from all 11 sections, including sectional type species and geographically disjunct East African and North American/Mexican species. Analyses were rooted with a representative sample of the closest outgroups, Pinellia and Typhonium, to rigorously test the monophyly of Arisaema. Sections in Arisaema are mostly based on leaf, stem, and inflorescence characters and, with one exception, are not rejected by the molecular data; however, statistical support for sectional relationships in the genus remains poor. Section Tortuosa, which includes eastern North American A. dracontium and Mexican A. macrospathum, is demonstrably polyphyletic. The third New World species, A. triphyllum, also occurs in eastern North America and groups with a different Asian clade than do A. dracontium/A. macrospathum. The genus thus appears to have entered North America twice. Fossil infructescences similar to those of A. triphyllum are known from approximately 18 million-year-old deposits inWashington State and can serve to calibrate a molecular clock. Constraining the age of A. triphyllum to 18 million years (my) and applying either a semiparametric or an ultrametric clock model to the combined data yields an age of approximately 31-49 my for the divergence of A. dracontium/A. macrospathum from their Asian relatives and of 19-32 my for the divergence between African A. schimperianum and a Tibetan/Nepalese relative. The genus thus provides an example of the Oligocene/Miocene floristic links between East Africa, Arabia, the Himalayan region, China, and North America. The phylogeny also suggests secondary loss of the environmental sex determination strategy that characterizes all arisaemas except for two subspecies of A. flavum, which have consistently bisexual spathes. These subspecies are tetraploid and capable of selfing, while a third subspecies of A. flavum is diploid and retains the sex-changing strategy. In the molecular trees, the sex-changing subspecies is sister to the two non-sex-changing ones, and the entire species is not basal in the genus.

The Role of Spirituality in Peacebuilding: Conceptualizing Human Dignity and Transcendent Value
Creators: name: Braeuninger, Michael K.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The social mobilizing effect of religion is well documented, and where religious identity has been leveraged as a resource in peacebuilding, the results have been significant and impactful on many levels of analysis. The subject of my research concerns the origins of this powerful social bond and the nature of the identity factors which comprise it. In this essay, I propose a hermeneutic phenomenology for understanding and conceptualizing the inner source of value with which religion connects `self' with `other'; the depth and strength of this connection; and the way in which it motivates and guides action toward either peaceful ends, or their violent alternatives. This essay explores the social mobilizing effect of religion within an analytical framework that considers what is essential to the practice of peacebuilding to be formative also of one's deepest sense of dignity- an a priori value contained wholly within oneself- while at the same time transcending the boundary between self and other. The epistemology that I employ is experientially grounded in the awareness, or consciousness of this value- what I term `transcendent value'- which cannot be reduced to a social or cultural factor, but rather is the fabric out of which culture is woven. My thesis is as follows: The role of spirituality in peacebuilding is to reconnect and identify the human being with this core or transcendent value, giving depth to consciousness of one's own and the other's dignity. Because of the deep sense of interconnectedness which spirituality naturally fosters within and between self and other, it transcends religious and cultural boundaries, and therefore is a resource for peacebuilding across what might otherwise present as intractable religious or cultural divisions.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit thematisiert die Problematik der sexuellen Gewalt in bewaffneten Konflikten sowie die Bedeutung von Geschlechterverhältnissen in Konfliktsituationen anhand des Fallbeispiels Darfur. Es wird die These aufgestellt, dass die sexuelle Gewalt im Darfur- Konflikt von zentraler Bedeutung für die Erreichung der Ziele der Zentralregierung war und nicht unabhängig von der ethnischen Komponente des Konfliktes gesehen werden kann. Eine theoretische Annäherung an das Verhältnis zwischen Ethnizität und Geschlecht sowie die Anwendung der Theorie der Ethno-Sexuellen Grenzen verifizieren diese These. Zusätzlich dazu wird eine kritische Analyse der unterschiedlichen Erklärungsansätze für Kriegsvergewaltigungen und sexuelle Gewalt in Konflikten vorgenommen und das Ausmaß sexueller Gewalt im Darfur-Konflikt geschildert. Ein weiterer Teil der Arbeit untersucht die Herausbildung einer so genannten sudanesischen hegemonialen Männlichkeit und deren Einfluss auf die Geschlechterverhältnisse ab 1989 sowie in Folge auch auf den Konflikt in Darfur. Abschließend wird auf die Rolle der Frauen im Konflikt, insbesondere der Hakkamas, eingegangen um die problematische Dichotomisierung in weibliche Opfer und männliche Täter zu durchbrechen und so eine generelle Kritik am gängigen Diskurs zu sexueller Gewalt in Konflikten zu formulieren.
description: This paper deals with the problem of sexual violence in armed conflicts as well as with the significance of gender relations in conflict settings based on a case study of Darfur. This paper is trying to make the case that sexual violence was central to the strategy of the Khartoum government and that it cannot be understood as distinct from the ethnic dimension of the conflict. My theory is given credence by theoretically approaching the relation between ethnicity and gender and by applying the theory of ethno-sexual frontiers this thesis is verified. In addition to that the paper critically analyses common theories about war time rape and sexual violence in conflict settings and highlights the scale of sexual violence during the Darfur war. The second part of the paper deals with the Herausbildung of a so-called Sudanese hegemonic masculinity and its influence on gender relations after 1989 as well as on the Darfur conflict as such. In conclusion, the role of women, especially of Hakkamas, during the conflict is presented to challenge the problematic dichotomy of female victims and male perpetrators and therefore formulate a strong critique on the current discourse about sexual violence in conflict settings.

description: The social mobilizing effect of religion is well documented, and where religious identity has been leveraged as a resource in peacebuilding, the results have been significant and impactful on many levels of analysis. The subject of my research concerns the origins of this powerful social bond and the nature of the identity factors which comprise it. In this essay, I propose a hermeneutic phenomenology for understanding and conceptualizing the inner source of value with which religion connects `self' with `other'; the depth and strength of this connection; and the way in which it motivates and guides action toward either peaceful ends, or their violent alternatives. This essay explores the social mobilizing effect of religion within an analytical framework that considers what is essential to the practice of peacebuilding to be formative also of one's deepest sense of dignity- an a priori value contained wholly within oneself- while at the same time transcending the boundary between self and other. The epistemology that I employ is experientially grounded in the awareness, or consciousness of this value- what I term `transcendent value'- which cannot be reduced to a social or cultural factor, but rather is the fabric out of which culture is woven. My thesis is as follows: The role of spirituality in peacebuilding is to reconnect and identify the human being with this core or transcendent value, giving depth to consciousness of one's own and the other's dignity. Because of the deep sense of interconnectedness which spirituality naturally fosters within and between self and other, it transcends religious and cultural boundaries, and therefore is a resource for peacebuilding across what might otherwise present as intractable religious or cultural divisions.

description: Caulokaempferia coenobialis (Zingiberaceae) forms dense populations on steep cliffs in shady, humid monsoon forests in south China. It produces few consecutively opening bright yellow flowers that are 3 cm long and oriented parallel to the ground. Upon anther dehiscence at about 0600 hours, each pollen sac releases a drop of pollen onto the horizontally oriented style, and the two drops then merge to form an oily film that slowly flows toward the stigma, carrying out self-pollination between about 1500 and 0730 hours the next day. The distance covered by the pollen film is ca. 3 mm. There is no significant difference in fruit set between experimentally cross- and self-pollinated flowers or between naturally pollinated and bagged flowers. The low pollen/ovule ratio of 664 probably relates to the pollen grains being held together by pollen-connecting threads. The latter ensure that pollen grains always arrive as multiples, and this is the first report of such threads in the Zingiberaceae. During 35 h of observation at several locations and during three flowering periods, only three individual bees, five flies, and two butterflies visited single flowers. It remained unclear whether they affected pollination because no return visits were observed. The automatic selfing by pollen that reaches the stigma ca. 9 h after the onset of anthesis apparently constitutes a case of delayed selfing, providing reproductive reassurance in situations of low pollinator visitation.

description: Correns’s 1903 (Berichte der Deutschen Botanischen Gesellschaft 21: 133 - 147) crosses between a monoecious and a dioecious species of Bryonia revealed the simple Mendelian inheritance of dioecy and provided the first instance of an XY sex determination system in any organism. Bryonia ranges from the Canary Islands to Central Asia and comprises seven dioecious and three monoecious species; its closest relative, Ecballium elaterium, has dioecious and monoecious populations. We used chloroplast (cp) and nuclear (nr) gene phylogenies to infer sexual system evolution in Bryonia. We also tested for associations between sexual system and ploidy level, based on published and original chromosome counts. Conflicts between cp and nr topologies imply that the dioecious hexaploid B. cretica arose from hybridization(s), probably involving the dioecious diploids B. dioica, B. syriaca, and/or B. multiflora. A tetraploid dioecious endemic on Corsica and Sardinia probably originated from B. dioica via autopolyploidy. While the cp phylogeny resolves few species relationships, the nr tree implies at least two evolutionary changes in sexual system. There is no correlation between sexual system and ploidy level. Molecular clocks suggest that the deepest divergence, between a species on the Canary Islands and the ancestor of all remaining species, occurred ca. 10 million years ago.

DANSS detector of reactor antineutrinos upgrade
Creators: name: Alekseev, Igor
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: DANSS is a detector of reactor antineutrinos based on solid state scintillator placed on a movable platform below the core of 3.1 GW industrial reactor of Kalininskaya NPP. DANSS detects up to 5000 neutrino events per day with the only 2% background. DANSS is collecting data for 6 years with more than 6 million inverse beta-decay events already collected. The primary goal of the experiment is the sterile neutrino search with reactor neutrinos. The main drawback of the current design is a moderate energy resolution of 34% at 1 MeV. This limits our sensitivity especially in the region of larger Δ m2. An upgrade of the detector is aimed at energy resolution of 12% at 1 MeV. It will also include a 70% increase of the sensitive volume while keeping the same passive shielding and the platform. The main idea of the upgrade is in a new design of the scintillator strips providing larger light output with much better uniformity. Double end readout of the new strips will allow to reconstruct all three coordinates even if only a single strip was hit. The strip prototypes were manufactured and tested at the pion beam of the PNPI synchrocyclotron. More than twice higher light output together with fairly flat detector response uniformity were obtained. To ensure better time response of new strips we are going to use newer wavelength shifting (WLS) fibers YS-2 by Kuraray. These fibers were tested in a dedicated study with a 360 nm picosecond laser pulses and demonstrate nearly twice shorter decay time (4.0 ns) compare to a mature Y-11 fibers. Light output of YS-2 and Y-11 fibers was also compared using 90Sr source and cosmic rays and the new fibers turned out to be at least as good as the mature ones. The upgrade timescale planned is two years. Mass production of the new strips has already started. The talk covers the detector design and expected sensitivity, as well as the beam test of the new strips and the study of the new WLS fibers.
