The 2019 European Elections on Twitter between Populism, Euroscepticism and Nationalism: The Case of Italy
Creators: name: Berti, Carlo
name: Loner, Enzo
Publisher: name: SocietàMutamentoPolitica
Year: 2021

description: European Parliament elections have often been defined second-order elections, focused on national rather than transnational issues. This paper investigates the combined impact of Eurosceptic populism and social media in the development of the campaign during the 2019 European Parliament elections. It evaluates how populist and non-populist politicians and parties campaigned for the European elections on Twitter by using the case study of Italy. Computer-assisted quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis of social media content are used to assess the relevance of Europe in political communication and the strategies used by different political actors. Findings show that the concept of nation plays a central role in the campaign, with Europe depicted either as an enemy (by nationalist populism) or a saviour (by pro-Europeans). Moreover, there is e tendency towards a “populist shift” in the communication style.

description: We consider the evolution of electromagnetic fields in curved spacetimes and calculate the exact wave equations of the associated electric and magnetic components. Our analysis is fully covariant, applies to a general spacetime and isolates all the sources that affect the propagation of these waves. Among others, we explicitly show how the different parts of the gravitational field act as driving sources of electromagnetic disturbances. When applied to perturbed FRW cosmologies, our results argue for a superadiabatic-type amplification of large-scale cosmological magnetic fields in Friedmann models with open spatial curvature.

description: The elastohydrodynamics of slender bodies in a viscous fluid have long been the source of theoretical investigation, being pertinent to the microscale world of ciliates and flagellates as well as to biological and engineered active matter more generally. Though recent works have overcome the severe numerical stiffness typically associated with slender elastohydrodynamics, employing both local and non-local couplings to the surrounding fluid, there is no framework of comparable efficiency that rigorously justifies its hydrodynamic accuracy. In this study, we combine developments in filament elastohydrodynamics with a recent slender-body theory, affording algebraic asymptotic accuracy to the commonly imposed no-slip condition on the surface of a slender filament of potentially non-uniform cross-sectional radius. Further, we do this whilst retaining the remarkable practical efficiency of contemporary elastohydrodynamic approaches, having drawn inspiration from the method of regularised Stokeslet segments to yield an efficient and flexible slender-body theory of regularised non-uniform segments.

Parton Distributions
SMEFT

description: We present a new methodology that is able to yield a simultaneous determination of the Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) of the proton alongside any set of parameters that determine the theory predictions; whether within the Standard Model (SM) or beyond it. The SIMUnet methodology is based on an extension of the NNPDF4.0 neural network architecture, which allows the addition of an extra layer to simultaneously determine PDFs alongside an arbitrary number of such parameters. We illustrate its capabilities by simultaneously fitting PDFs with a subset of Wilson coefficients within the Standard Model Effective Field Theory framework and show how the methodology extends naturally to larger subsets of Wilson coefficients and to other SM precision parameters, such as the strong coupling constant or the heavy quark masses.

Sneutrino cascade decays ~nu_e -> e- ~X_1^+ -> e- f f' ~X_1^0 as a probe of chargino spin properties and CP violation

description: The decays ~nu_e -> e- ~X_1^+, ~nu_e* -> e+ ~X_1^-, when kinematically allowed, constitute a source of 100% polarised charginos. We study the process e+ e- -> ~nu_e* ~nu_e -> e+ ~X_1^- e- ~X_1^+, with subsequent chargino decays X_1^- -> nu_mu mu- ~X_1^0, X_1^+ -> q qbar' ~X_1^0 or their charge conjugate X_1^- -> qbar q' ~X_1^0, ~X_1^+ -> nu_mu mu+ ~X_1^0. The kinematics of this process allows the reconstruction of the sneutrino and chargino rest frames, and thus a clean analysis of the angular distributions of the visible final state products in these reference systems. Furthermore, a triple product CP asymmetry can be built in ~X_1^+- hadronic decays, involving the chargino spins and the momenta of the quark and antiquark. With a good c tagging efficiency, this CP asymmetry is quite sensitive to the phase of the bino mass term M_1 and can test CP violation in the neutralino sector.

description: The increase of the organic food market has been promoting the interest of farmers in the organic production systems. Agents who adopt this system implement substantial changes in their production methods, by acquiring technical and empirical associated knowledge. Therefore, it is necessary to elaborate studies to evaluate organic agriculture systems in this scenario, comparing it with the conventional production model, focusing on social, economic and environmental aspects. This study aimed the regional diagnostic of the social, economic and environmental aspects of the organic and conventional agricultural systems in the Sussuanha district, located in North Guaraciaba and São Benedito municipalities (Ceará State). Seven farmers that practice organic agriculture were interviewed, as well as 20 conventional producers, characterizing all the social context and changes on life quality along the time. In the organic agricultural system, interactions between farmers and environment carried out the improvement of life quality. On the other hand, in the conventional production system, characterized by the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, the interest to obtain maximum production with no concerning with the environment prevails. This situation is a result of the continuous use of pesticides, marketing restrictions and land degradation by lowering the natural fertility of the soil on this type of production system.

description: Squire Lawrence Horsman (who was not a squire - this was his name) was a pupil at Bradford Grammar School he joined the 6th West Yorkshires. He was only 18 when he went to France. He was wounded in the thigh on 9/9/1916 at Sunken Road on the Somme when his revolver went off in his pocket after the revolver was hit by shrapnel. He was evacuated to hospital - the wound was left open to drain. He convalesced in Oxford, possibly at St John's College. He did a musketry course at Clipstone Camp possibly training others. He was commissioned in 1917. He became a pilot on 22/1/1918. He flew his first sortie into France on an observer aircraft on 25/7/1918. At one point he was shot down after being attacked by 5 Fockers. He survived but his plane was full of bullet holes and unusable. After the war he was offered his old job back in a solicitor's office. He declined and became a mill engineer working at Lister Mill, Bradford.

description: The inequality of credit distribution of Pronaf, between regions and types of family farmers, has been indicated in many studies. To investigate this question, the research analyzes the evolution of Pronaf credit financings in Brazil, facing its decomposition in the effects number of contracts, average value of contracts and geographic localization. It can be concluded that, in the initial phase of the Program, a great increase in the contract number was verified, with dispersion of financings for states of poorer family farming, situated mainly in the Northeastern region in Brazil. This expansion continued until 2006, also followed, since 2003, by the increase in the average size of contracts. Since then, the expansion of the credit has been based exclusively on the increase of the average size of contracts and on the growing participation of states of capitalized agriculture in its distribution. As a result of this change, which may be associated with changes in the rules of the program, the inequality of the distribution of its financings is increasing.
Pressure dependence of the Boson peak in glasses

description: The inelastic scattering intensities of glasses and amorphous materials has a maximum at a low frequency, the so called Boson peak. Under applied hydrostatic pressure, $P$, the Boson peak frequency, $ω_{\rm b}$, is shifted upwards. We have shown previously that the Boson peak is created as a result of a vibrational instability due to the interaction of harmonic quasi localized vibrations (QLV). Applying pressure one exerts forces on the QLV. These shift the low frequency part of the excess spectrum to higher frequencies. For low pressures we find a shift of the Boson peak linear in $P$, whereas for high pressures the shift is $\propto P^{1/3}$. Our analytics is supported by simulation. The results are in agreement with the existing experiments.

description: The coronavirus pandemic that has brought Italy (like many other countries) to its knees brings to the surface in a brutal way the criticality of the health policy choices taken by the government in the last thirty years, guided by the principle of subordination of the quality of care to cost efficiency. The priority has been to maximize profit by sacrificing the quality of care and health services. All this forces us to redefine the terms and categories with which we read and interpret today the issues related to the physical and mental health of citizens and the policies that govern it. Starting from this, the aim of this article is to reflect on the limits of contemporary health policies and the urgency of rethinking them in terms of a greater capacity to reconcile people’s needs with a better use of public resources. To this end, the article will focus on bottom-up health policy practices that try to guarantee, at the same time, the quality of care and a better use of health spending, through the analysis of the experience of the Solaris association in Rome working in the field of mental health.

description: Excerpts from the report: Farmers are seeking ways of strengthening their bargaining power to increase their returns and to lower their costs. For a number of years egg producers in southern and central California have operated groups or associations to collectively bargain for feed prices. This report describes and analyzes the development, present structure, operating practices, and accomplishments of these feed bargaining groups. The findings should be useful to producers in other areas and to representatives of Federal and State agricultural agencies, universities, cooperatives, banks for cooperatives, and others in advising producers about feasible forms of cooperative action for obtaining feed and other supplies. Such information also may be useful in helping established feed milling cooperatives and other firms to adjust their operations to meet the changing product and service needs of their members and patrons.

Listening out loud : the performance of poetry in Robert Bringhurst’s Ursa Major and George Elliott Clarke’s Québécité
Creators: name: McLeod, Katherine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Performing poetry and poetry that performs both call for a critical attuning to what I understand as performative listening — a concept that combines the critical contexts of both performance theory and theories of performativity, meanwhile invoking a critical context around the term audience. Rather than keeping each of these spheres separate, my thesis examines how their intersections uncover sites that test the possibilities and limitations of listening with one's whole body. George Elliott Clarke's jazz opera Québécité and Robert Bringhurst's masque Ursa Major invite performative readings of their textual forms. These two works perform through what Dennis Lee calls "a poetics of voice in motion" that involves thinking of poetry as being in a state of motion — a return to the meaning of poiesis as making. The "voice in motion" that Lee hears as poetics gives acoustic material to this process of making. Lee's essay, "Body Music," in which he speaks of this kinetic state of poetics, appears in the collection, Thinking and Singing: Poetry and the Practice of Philosophy — a book composed of essays that inform this paper through their content and even more so through their approach to writing about poetry as listening to poetry. As Tim Lilburn characterizes the essays in his preface to the book: "all of the writing has an open ear, proceeds by this ear: a certain form of speech can be an attempt to hear" (2). In considering Clarke's Québécité and Bringhurst's Ursa Major as forms of speech that attempt to hear, I focus on what strategies the poetry employs in order to perform; moreover, while the writing itself attempts to hear, the reading of this writing requires more than a simple scanning with one's eyes. In his introduction to the essay collection Close Listening, Charles Bernstein re-introduces the term reading to refer to the poetry reading as a performative event in need of critical attention. With this notion of reading as performance, I ask how the reading of poetry translates into an embodied, vocalized performance and how we, in turn, perform as listeners.

description: The term structure of options with future expiration dates traded at the CME Group is calculated to forecast short and long-term realized volatility and price level of soybean spot prices in Rondonópolis (Mato Grosso State). Extracting the implied volatility with the Black (1976) model for commodities option pricing, the implied volatility variance is decomposed in known and unknown intervals, used to forecast short and long-term realized volatility. In addition, the implied volatility is used as a parameter in an empirical confidence interval equation to forecast the short and long-term price level, using the interval upper limit. Predictive efficiency tests indicate that the forecasts of realized volatility based on the implied volatility have greater degree of efficiency in the short term, while the naïve estimate is more efficient in the long-term. The empirical confidence interval price level upper limit forecasts are more efficient in the long-term and the naïve estimates show more efficiency in the short-term.

description: Anabole androgene Steroide bilden noch immer die Substanzgruppe, die am häufigsten als illegale Dopingmittel in Verwendung ist. In der Anti-Doping Analytik kann die Detektion von Steroidmissbrauch herausfordernd sein, weil Steroide sehr vielfältig im menschlichen Körper metabolisiert werden. Auf der Suche nach geeigneten Marker-Molekülen sind die Langzeitmetabolite der Steroide von großer Bedeutung wegen ihres verlängerten Detektionsfensters. Hier haben besonders die konjugierten Phase II Metabolite, vor allem Glucuronide und Sulfate, in der Probenvorbereitung einen Vorteil gegenüber den Phase I Metaboliten. Sie können durch Direktmessung von Urinproben analysiert werden ohne vorhergehende Probenvorbereitung mit enzymatischer Hydrolyse. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die Synthese der -D-Glucuronide von zwei C17-epimeren Oxandrolon Langzeitmetaboliten und die Bestätigung ihres Vorkommens im menschlichen Urin. Dazu werden LC-HRMS Messungen des synthetisierten Referenzmaterials verglichen mit authentischen Urinproben aus Ausscheidungsversuchen. Mit einer adaptierten analytischen Methode, die geeignet ist für die direkte Injektion von Urin, können die synthetisierten Oxandrolon Langzeitmetabolit-Glucuronide als Referenzmaterial in der Bestätigung von Oxandrolon Missbrauch verwendet werden.
description: Anabolic androgenic steroids are still the most prominent substance class in use as illicit doping agents. In anti-doping analysis the detection of steroid abuse can be quite challenging as steroids are extensively metabolised by the human body. In search for suitable marker molecules steroid long-term metabolites are of increasing interest due to their prolonged detection window. Their respective conjugated phase II metabolites, mostly glucuronides and sulphates, give an additional advantage over the phase I metabolites with regards to sample preparation. They can be analysed directly from urine without the need for prior sample preparation involving enzymatic hydrolysis. The aim of this work is to synthesise the -D-glucuronides of two C17-epimeric oxandrolone long-term metabolites and to verify their presence in human urine via LC-HRMS measurements by comparing the synthesised reference material to authentic urine samples obtained from excretion studies. With an analytical technique adapted for the direct injection of urine the synthesised oxandrolone long-term metabolite glucuronides can serve as reference material in the confirmation of oxandrolone abuse.

description: The space-based gravitational-wave observatory LISA relies on a form of synthetic interferometry (time-delay interferometry, or TDI) where the otherwise overwhelming laser phase noise is canceled by linear combinations of appropriately delayed phase measurements. These observables grow in length and complexity as the realistic features of the LISA orbits are taken into account. In this paper we outline an implicit formulation of TDI where we write the LISA likelihood directly in terms of the basic phase measurements, and we marginalize over the laser phase noises in the limit of infinite laser-noise variance. Equivalently, we rely on TDI observables that are defined numerically (rather than algebraically) from a discrete-filter representation of the laser propagation delays. Our method generalizes to any time dependence of the armlengths; it simplifies the modeling of gravitational-wave signals; and it allows a straightforward treatment of data gaps and missing measurements.

description: Unique electronic band structure of graphene with its semi-metallic features near the charge neutrality point is sensitive to impurity effects. Using the Lifshitz and Anderson impurity models, we study in detail the disorder induced spectral phenomena in the electronic band structure of graphene, namely, the formation of resonances, quasi-gaps, bound states, impurity sub-bands, and their overall impact on the electronic band restructuring and the associated Mott-like metal-insulator transitions. We perform systematic analytical and numerical study for realistic impurities, both substitutional and adsorbed, focusing on those effects that stem from the impurity adatoms locations (top, bridge, and hollow positions), concentration, host sublattice occupation, perturbation strengths, etc. Possible experimental and practical implications are discussed as well.

description: We have unambiguously established the dynamical source of the mass scale parameter (the mass gap) responsible for the large scale structure of the true QCD vacuum. At the microscopic, Lagrangian level it is the nonlinear fundamental four-gluon interaction. At the level of the corresponding equation of motion for the full gluon propagator, it is all the skeleton loop contributions into the gluon self-energy, which contain the four-gluon vertices. The key role of the four-gluon interaction is determined by the fact that this interaction survivies when all the gluon momenta involved go to zero, while the three-gluon vertex vanishes in this limit. The mass gap and the corresponding infrared singularities are "hidden" in these terms, and they show up explicitly when the gluon momentum $q$ goes to zero. The general iteration solution (i.e., when the relevant skeleton loop integrals have to be iterated) for the full gluon propagator unavoidably becomes the exact sum of the two terms. The first term is the Laurent expansion in the inverse powers of the gluon momentum squared, starting necessarily from the simplest one $1/(q^2)^2$. Each severe (i.e., more singular than $1/q^2$) power-type IR singularity is accompanied by the corresponding powers of the mass gap. The standard second term is always as much singular as $1/q^2$, otherwise remaining undetermined. The inevitable existence of the first term makes just the principal difference between non-Abelian QCD and Abelian QED. Moreover, the infrared renormalization program of the theory leads to the gluon confinement criterion in the gauge-invariant way.

description: We report an astronomical detection of HC$_4$NC for the first time in the interstellar medium with the Green Bank Telescope toward the TMC-1 molecular cloud with a minimum significance of $10.5 σ$. The total column density and excitation temperature of HC$_4$NC are determined to be $3.29^{+8.60}_{-1.20}\times 10^{11}$ cm$^{-2}$ and $6.7^{+0.3}_{-0.3}$ K, respectively, using the MCMC analysis. In addition to HC$_4$NC, HCCNC is distinctly detected whereas no clear detection of HC$_6$NC is made. We propose that the dissociative recombination of the protonated cyanopolyyne, HC$_5$NH$^+$, and the protonated isocyanopolyyne, HC$_4$NCH$^+$, are the main formation mechanisms for HC$_4$NC while its destruction is dominated by reactions with simple ions and atomic carbon. With the proposed chemical networks, the observed abundances of HC$_4$NC and HCCNC are reproduced satisfactorily.

description: This paper demonstrates that artisanal/small-scale fisheries face difficulties in accessing public credit programs, which contributes to the use of informal financing mechanisms. The case study conducted Santa Catarina’s central-southern coast used semi-structured interviews with small-scale fishermen and middlemen, followed by discourse analysis. The study uses concepts from economic sociology to understand the relationships between these two groups of social actors. The results showed that the creation of a specific credit line for fishing within the National Program for the Strengthening of Family Farming (Pronaf, in Portuguese), a demand from the sector, has had low access among fishermen. The study reveals that formal and informal financing systems adopted by small-scale fisheries are embedded in reciprocity relationships. The informal financing systems have been maintained even after the creation of a specific line of government supported credit for artisanal fisheries. The provision of these financial services is associated with fish sales, which reproduces the asymmetric power relationship between fishermen and middlemen. The official credit is accessed by a low number of small-scale fishermen, and the use of informal credit systems unfavorable for fishermen prevail.

With the support of documented research and interviews with leaders of the Program, this evaluation presents the background of its creation, main features, implementation and results achieved. After, the results of the goals of the Program proposed by the public policy and in regard of the criteria of sufficiency of resources, management tools and social participation were evaluated. The analysis points to a partial efficiency of the Program. The interest in joining the Program still prevails, demonstrating its need and importance. It is important, however, to step up at some points, as the effective exercise of the role of the Interministerial Steering Committee of the Rural Insurance and assurance of budgetary resources when it is necessary.

description: Background: Maladaptive patterns of attention to emotional stimuli are a clinical feature of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Using eye-tracking-based methodology, research points out the presence of sustained attention to threatening stimuli in individuals with PTSD. However, most eye-tracking studies in this field used free-viewing tasks on negative stimuli. Methods: PTSD patients (n = 38), trauma-exposed healthy controls (TEHC; n = 30), and non-trauma-exposed healthy controls (HC; n = 33) performed a Face in the Crowd (FiC) task. The FiC task was chosen to explore specific responses to emotional stimuli within a competitive visual environment, thus providing insights into visual search patterns. Both reaction time and gaze patterns (dwell time, scanpath length, first fixation duration, and latency) were recorded. Results: Individuals with a provisional PTSD diagnosis presented decreased dwell time on both positive and negative targets in comparison with HC and TEHC, as well as shorter scanpath length for all matrixes when no targets were present. No evidence of attentional bias was observed in the TEHC group based on reaction times or eye-tracking measures in response to positive, negative, or neutral cues. Discussion: We found an attentional avoidance pattern among PTSD patients, along with indexes of lowered perceptual threshold for all emotional information. This study allows raising the question of cognitive load on the emergence of differential attentional strategies presented by PTSD participants. We discuss the generalization of fear processes across different emotional stimuli and underscore the need for incorporating a variety of emotional stimuli in PTSD research. The face-in-the-crowd task allows to assess distinct attentional search processes but has never been used among trauma samples.PTSD patients spent less time looking at emotional targets, especially angry faces, which could represent an avoidant coping strategy.PTSD patients presented shorter scanpath lengths, which might indicate decreased threshold for emotion recognition.

description: We evaluate the shattering dimension of various classes of linear functionals on various symmetric convex sets. The proofs here relay mostly on methods from the local theory of normed spaces and include volume estimates, factorization techniques and tail estimates of norms, viewed as random variables on Euclidean spheres. The estimates of shattering dimensions can be applied to obtain error bounds for certain classes of functions, a fact which was the original motivation of this study. Although this can probably be done in a more traditional manner, we also use the approach presented here to determine whether several classes of linear functionals satisfy the uniform law of large numbers and the uniform central limit theorem.

description: Conversational agents open the world to new opportunities for human interaction and ubiquitous engagement. As their conversational abilities and knowledge has improved, these agents have begun to have access to an increasing variety of personally identifiable information and intimate details on their user base. This access raises crucial questions in light of regulations as robust as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This paper explores some of these questions, with the aim of defining relevant open issues in conversational agent design. We hope that this work can provoke further research into building agents that are effective at user interaction, but also respectful of regulations and user privacy.

description: With (non-barotropic) equations of state valid even when the neutron, proton and electron content of neutron star cores is not in beta equilibrium, we study inertial and composition gravity modes of relativistic rotating neutron stars. We solve the relativistic Euler equations in the time domain with a three dimensional numerical code based on spectral methods, in the slow rotation, relativistic Cowling and anelastic approximations. Principally, after a short description of the gravity modes due to smooth composition gradients, we focus our analysis on the question of how the inertial modes are affected by non-barotropicity of the nuclear matter. In our study, the deviation with respect to barotropicity results from the frozen composition of non-superfluid matter composed of neutrons, protons and electrons, when beta equilibrium is broken by millisecond oscillations. We show that already for moderatly fast rotating stars the increasing coupling between polar and axial modes makes those two cases less different than for very slowly rotating stars. In addition, as we directly solve the Euler equations, without coupling only a few number of spherical harmonics, we always found, for the models that we use, a discrete spectrum for the $l = m = 2$ inertial mode. Finally, we find that, for non-barotropic stars, the frequency of this mode, which is our main focus, decreases in a non-negligible way, whereas the time dependence of the energy transfer between polar and axial modes is substantially different due to the existence of low-frequencies gravity modes.

description: During almost all the history of Minas Gerais State, its sugarcane production always presented as complementary to other major economy activities, both inside the state and in other Central-Southern regions in Brazil. From the nineties onwards, the sugarcane activity presented a significant economic importance for the state, with the occupation of the savanna of Minas Gerais and attracting investments. This state began to have a prominence occupation in the ethanol and sugar production in Brazil. Specifically in Minas Gerais State cities, many aspects can attract the installation of mills and distilleries, with economic, social and environmental advantages and disadvantages. This paper verifies the evolution of the sugarcane agroindustry in Minas Gerais and the elements which have encouraged the location of mills and distilleries in some counties. With a multivariate logistic regression analysis, it was found that the yield, the access to water resources, the land concentration, leased agriculture properties, the availability of formal workforce and the higher income of this workforce are aspects that have determined the presence of mills and distilleries in Minas Gerais cities, which can result in beneficial or harmful effects that should be verified in future studies.

description: Harry was born in the Undercliffe area of Bradford 3rd July 1889. He attended Hanson Grammar School in Bradford where he was good at German. He joined a Bradford firm and worked as a commercial traveller visiting Germany and (Russian) Poland. He was good at tennis, winning a tournament in Germany for which he was awarded a silver watch. He made friends with Charles Farrar, another commercial traveller from Bradford. Harry was home on holiday when the war began. He enlisted in the 'Bradford Battalion' on 20th September 1914, as did his friend Charles (although their service numbers are far apart, 138 and 637 respectively). Harry's snaps were probably taken at Raikes Camp, Skipton, Yorkshire. The photos indicate he was in No.1 Platoon, 'A' Company. Farrar was appointed a sergeant in 4th platoon in the same company. The football team photo is also printed in David Raw's book 'Bradford Pals'. Harry went with the 1st Bradford Pals (16th West Yorkshire Regiment) to Egypt at the end of 1915, then to France where he was a survivor of the 1st July attack at Serre. He remained with this battalion until 7th February 1917 when he was sent to the U.K. to join an Officer Cadet Battalion. This transfer meant that Hartley was not present when 'A' and 'B' Companys of the 1st Pals attacked Rossignol Wood on 27th February. Farrar was severely wounded and died of his wounds. The memorial card shows that Harry visited his friend's parents to express his condolences when he was home on leave.

description: Trades between orange growers and orange juice processing companies in Brazil have been characterized by conflicts, culminating in accusations of breach of contracts and cases of anti-trust violations in the Council for Economic Defense (Cade). Recently, attempts to create a council, called Consecitrus, have failed, evidencing that conflicts remain. Due to the evident fragility of the transactions between these agents, the aim of this study is to investigate whether there is indication of market power use by the processing companies in their dealings with growers. For this, the evolution of gross margins and price transmission are analyzed. The analysis of the margins revealed that the gains achieved by processors are significantly higher when the revenue obtained with the sale of byproducts is added to the juice revenue. It was found that the margins are underestimated when considering only the leading products in its calculation. The analysis of price transmission showed that processing companies transfer price decreases for growers in the short-term and an asymmetry in the long-run. Therefore, there is an evidence of the market power use by orange juice processing companies, and this practice can generate cumulative losses for growers, since there is an asymmetry in the long-term with less than proportional price recovery.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.
