New economic spaces and practices in coastal British Columbia
Creators: name: Young, Nathan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Coastal regions of British Columbia are presently undergoing a period of dramatic economic restructuring. The roots of this crisis lie in the environmental and economic exhaustion of Fordist systems for resource production that have dominated B.C.’s rural economy since the Second World War. This thesis argues that current responses to this crisis--as undertaken by governments, corporate actors, communities, and local firms--are resulting in a fundamental restructuring of economic spaces in coastal British Columbia. I argue that senior governments are responding to the crisis in rural economies in British Columbia by implementing separate development strategies for resource- and community-based economies that are based on different visions of how these relate to global (Post-Fordist) economies. On the one hand, new reforms have recently been implemented to spatially liberalize resource economies--allowing major corporate actors significantly more freedom to manipulate geographies of resource production according to global market conditions. On the other hand, senior governments are implementing new ’entrepreneurialist’ programs in the local spaces of community-based economies--encouraging local groups and firms to pursue new types of connections to broader markets based on local capacities. The segregation of resource- and community-based economies is fundamentally altering local economic spaces and practices. This thesis advances detailed research from two case communities on the British Columbian coast--Port Hardy on northern Vancouver Island, and Bella Coola on B.C.’s rugged central coast--to address how local economic spaces are being restructured both by institutional actors (state and corporate actors) and by community-based actors (local groups and firms). The withdrawal of corporate actors from the local economies of these communities places many local firms in a very tenuous position, where survival depends on successful connection and engagement with broader (global) markets and spaces. Drawing on interview research in the case communities, I develop and apply a schema for understanding how local actors attempt to participate in the global economy from positions of geographic marginality. This schema, which is based on the analysis of how local actors attempt to ’reach across space’ by negotiating socio-technical network arrangements (which I term "performances of distance"), uncovers new opportunities and inequalities confronting local actors in the new spatial economies of coastal British Columbia.

description: Two strategies for constructing general geometric operators in all dimensional loop quantum gravity are proposed. The different constructions are mainly come from the two different regularization methods for the de-densitized dual momentum, which play the role of building block for the spatial geometry. The first regularization method is a generalization of the regularization of the length operator in standard $(1+3)$-dimensional loop quantum gravity, while the second method is a natural extension of those for standard (D-1)-area and D-volume operators. Two versions of general geometric operators to measure arbitrary $m$-areas are constructed, and their properties are discussed and compared. They serve as valuable candidates to study the quantum geometry in arbitrary dimensions.
Dark energy reflections in the redshift-space quadrupole

description: We show that the redshift-space quadrupole will be a powerful tool for constraining dark energy even if the baryon oscillations are missing from the usual monopole power spectrum and even if bias is scale- and time-dependent. We calculate the accuracy with which a next-generation galaxy survey based on KAOS will measure the quadrupole power spectrum, which gives the leading anisotropies in the power spectrum in redshift space due to the linear velocity, Finger of God and Alcock-Paczynski effects. Combining the monopole and quadrupole power spectra breaks the degeneracies between the multiple bias parameters and dark energy both in the linear and nonlinear regimes and, in the complete absence of baryon oscillations ($Ω_b=0$), leads to a roughly 500% improvement in constraints on dark energy compared with those from the monopole spectrum alone. As a result the worst case - with no baryon oscillations - has dark energy errors only mildly degraded relative to the ideal case, providing insurance on the robustness of next-generation galaxy survey constraints on dark energy.

description: Compliance with international obligations is the lynch-pin to the sustainability and success of international agreements, treaties and organizations. Without this compliance these bodies will fail to function, or at the very least experience a reduction in their functionality. As part of the process to develop biosafety legislation, the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, through Article 26, provides for the voluntary inclusion of socio-economic considerations. Crucial to this provision is that socio-economic consideration incorporation must be “consistent with [the parties] international obligations”. Numerous international agreements and protocol obligations are applicable to the various SEC factors that can be considered for inclusion. This article provides concise overviews of the most significant of the various international agreements relevant to the potential SEC factors and then offers a thorough discussion of the terms and commitments from parties to the CPB that are considering the inclusion of SEC factors into their domestic regulatory biosafety frameworks. This article clarifies the legal complexities of these commitments to international obligations and encapsulates the numerous obligations into a single source.

description: Anti-dumping (AD) is a legal institution that allows an importing country to impose a reciprocal duty to neutralize the effect of unfair pricing by an exporting firm in an importer’s market. The regime of AD has been well stipulated in WTO documents and analyzed by many scholars worldwide. However, among AD rules, non-market economy (NME) status has not received adequate attention. Meanwhile, the absence of WTO rules explicitly regulating NME status and the wide discretion of importing countries in AD investigations place exporting alleged NME countries at a disadvantage, particularly when normal value calculation methodologies are used. This practice undermines the fundamental principles of non-discrimination and transparency of the WTO. This article examines the present WTO rules and jurisprudences concerning NME status and then makes some proposals for reforming NME regulations and discusses their feasibility in practice.
Running vacuum in quantum field theory in curved spacetime: renormalizing $ρ_{vac}$ without $\sim m^4$ terms

description: The $Λ$-term in Einstein's equations is a fundamental building block of the `concordance' $Λ$CDM model of cosmology. Even though the model is not free of fundamental problems, they have not been circumvented by any alternative dark energy proposal either. Here we stick to the $Λ$-term, but we contend that it can be a `running quantity' in quantum field theory (QFT) in curved spacetime. A plethora of phenomenological works have shown that this option can be highly competitive with the $Λ$CDM with a rigid cosmological term. The, so-called, `running vacuum models' (RVM's) are characterized by the vacuum energy density, $ρ_{vac}$, being a series of (even) powers of the Hubble parameter and its time derivatives. Such theoretical form has been motivated by general renormalization group arguments, which look plausible. Here we dwell further upon the origin of the RVM structure within QFT in FLRW spacetime. We compute the renormalized energy-momentum tensor with the help of the adiabatic regularization procedure and find that it leads essentially to the RVM form. This means that $ρ_{vac}(H)$ evolves as a constant term plus dynamical components ${\cal O}(H^2)$ and ${\cal O}(H^4)$, the latter being relevant for the early universe only. However, the renormalized $ρ_{vac}(H)$ does not carry dangerous terms proportional to the quartic power of the masses ($\sim m^4$) of the fields, these terms being a well-known source of exceedingly large contributions. At present, $ρ_{vac}(H)$ is dominated by the additive constant term accompanied by a mild dynamical component $\sim νH^2$ ($|ν|\ll1$), which mimics quintessence.

description: We perform a complete study of the low-energy phenomenology of $S_1$ and $S_3$ lepto-quarks, aimed at addressing the observed deviations in $B$-meson decays and the muon magnetic dipole moment. Leptoquark contributions to observables are computed at one-loop accuracy in an effective field theory approach, using the recently published complete one-loop matching of these leptoquarks to the Standard Model effective field theory. We present several scenarios, discussing in each case the preferred parameter space and the most relevant observables.

Eine Unterscheidung in genossenschaftliche Unternehmen und andere Rechtsformen zeigt deutliche Unterschiede zwischen den beiden Gruppen hinsichtlich des Erfolgs auf. Genossenschaften weisen eine höhere Performance bei den Kennzahlen zur Stabilität der Unternehmen und Nachteile in den Bereichen der Ertragskennzahlen aus. Als wesentliche Erfolgsfaktoren deutscher Molkereien lassen sich die Auslastung der Produktionsanlagen und die Wertschöpfung identifizieren. This paper analyzes the business performance of the German dairy industry based on the annual account data of the years from 2005 to 2007. The empirical work examines key performance indicators for the financial security and for the potential yield of the dairy industry. The interfirm comparison of dairy-cooperatives and investor-owned dairies shows significant differences between the two groups such as cooperatives have a higher performance in cooperatives of financial security and disadvantages in earnings indicators.

description: We calculate the mixed tensor susceptibility of QCD vacuum in the framework of the global color symmetry model. In our calculation, the functional integration over gluon fields can be performed and the gluonic vacuum observable can be expressed in terms of the quark operators and the gluon propagator. The mixed tensor susceptibility was obtained with the subtraction of the perturbative contribution which is evaluated by the Wigner solution of the quark gap equation. Using several different effective quark-quark interaction models, we find the values of the mixed tensor susceptibility are very small.

Are Magnetic Wind-Driving Disks Inherently Unstable?

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: There have been claims in the literature that accretion disks in which a centrifugally driven wind is the dominant mode of angular momentum transport are inherently unstable. This issue is considered here by applying an equilibrium-curve analysis to the wind-driving, ambipolar diffusion-dominated, magnetic disk model of Wardle & Konigl (1993). The equilibrium solution curves for this class of models typically exhibit two distinct branches. It is argued that only one of these branches represents unstable equilibria and that a real disk/wind system likely corresponds to a stable solution.

description: The aim of this study was to provide an up-to-date overview of gender differences or similarities in risk factor control and medical management in the Belgian CHD population. All analyses are based on the ESC EORP EUROASPIRE IV and EUROASPIRE V (European Survey Of Cardiovascular Disease Prevention And Diabetes) surveys. Patients between 18 and 80 years old, hospitalised for a first or recurrent coronary event, were included in the survey. Data were available for 10,519 patients, of which 23.9% were women. Women had a worse risk factor profile compared to men. Women were more physical inactive (OR = 1.31, 95% CI = 1.19–1.44), had a higher prevalence of obesity (OR = 1.37, 95% CI = 1.25–1.50) and had a worse LDL-C control (OR = 1.52, 95% CI = 1.36–1.70). Moreover, women were less likely to use ACE-I/ARBs (OR = 0.84, 95% CI = 0.76–0.94) and statins (OR = 0.79, 95% CI = 0.70–0.90). In addition, little gender differences were found in patients’ risk factor awareness, except on cholesterol awareness. Women were more aware about their total cholesterol levels (OR = 1.37, 95% CI = 1.21–1.56). Despite little to no gender differences in the management of CHD patients, women still have a worse risk factor profile, both in Belgian and in other European high-income countries.

description: We conduct a thorough Bayesian analysis of the possibility that the black hole merger events seen in gravitational waves are primordial black hole (PBH) mergers. Using the latest merger rate models for PBH binaries drawn from a lognormal mass function we compute posterior parameter constraints and Bayesian evidences using data from the first two observing runs of LIGO-Virgo. We account for theoretical uncertainty due to possible disruption of the binary by surrounding PBHs, which can suppress the merger rate significantly. We also consider simple astrophysically motivated models and find that these are favoured decisively over the PBH scenario, quantified by the Bayesian evidence ratio. Paying careful attention to the influence of the parameter priors and the quality of the model fits, we show that the evidence ratios can be understood by comparing the predicted chirp mass distribution to that of the data. We identify the posterior predictive distribution of chirp mass as a vital tool for discriminating between models. A model in which all mergers are PBH binaries is strongly disfavoured compared with astrophysical models, in part due to the over-prediction of heavy systems having $\mathcal{M}_{\rm chirp} \gtrsim 40 \, M_\odot$ and positive skewness over the range of observed masses which does not match the observations. We find that the fit is not significantly improved by adding a maximum mass cut-off, a bimodal mass function, or imposing that PBH binaries form at late times. We argue that a successful PBH model must either modify the lognormal shape of the initial mass function significantly or abandon the hypothesis that all observed merging binaries are primordial. We develop and apply techniques for analysing PBH models with gravitational wave data which will be necessary for robust statistical inference as the gravitational wave source sample size increases.

We represent all local and Ablowitz-Musslimani type nonlocal reductions of this system and obtain new integrable systems. By the help of reduction formulas and soliton solutions of the $3$-component Maccari system, we obtain one- and two-soliton solutions of these new integrable local and nonlocal reduced $2$-component Maccari systems. We also illustrate our solutions by plotting their graphs for particular values of the parameters.

description: Der Verzehr von Lebensmitteln außer Haus gewinnt aufgrund von demographischen und gesellschaftlichen Veränderungsprozessen an Bedeutung, detaillierte Informationen zur Preisgestaltung in diesem Bereich liegen bislang für Deutschland aber nicht vor. Zielsetzung des Beitrages ist es daher, auf Basis eines Querschnittsdatensatzes, der auf Preisbeobachtungen in Unternehmen beruht, Einblicke in die Preisgestaltung im Quickservice-Bereich zu liefern. Besonderes Augenmerk liegt dabei auf bequemen Preisen, welche nach KNOTEK (2011) durch die geringere Anzahl benötigter Geldeinheiten den Kaufprozess vereinfachen. Die empirische Analyse zeigt, dass bei verzehrsfertigen Lebensmitteln außer Haus glatte Preise, die auf einen vollen Eurobetrag enden, sowie runde Preisstellungen dominieren. Einzige Ausnahme stellen Selbstbedienungsrestaurants dar, die verstärkt gebrochene Preise nutzen und bei denen im Vergleich zu einer Imbissbude folglich mindestens eine Geldeinheit pro Transaktion mehr benötigt werden würde. Der Beitrag verdeutlicht, dass es bei der Preisgestaltung im Quickservice-Bereich und im Lebensmitteleinzelhandel Gemeinsamkeiten gibt, aber auch sektorspezifische Unterschiede bestehen. Due to changes in demographic and social circumstances, the importance of food-away-from-home consumption increases. However, detailed facts on pricing strategies in this sector are still missing in Germany. This paper aims to provide cross-sectional evidence of pricing strategies in the quick servicesector. The focus lies on convenient prices, which according to KNOTEK (2011) simplifies the purchase due to a lower number of necessary monetary units. Convenient prices that match round prices ending on monetary denominations prevail. The only exceptions are fast-food-restaurants, which offered often odd prices. Consequently, in these stores at least one monetary unit more than in takeaway shops would be necessary to pay for the products. The study shows that there are common principles in pricing strategies in the quick service sector and the retailing sector, but also differences.

description: We propose a fully quantum-mechanical method of treating four-body nuclear breakup processes in scattering of a projectile consisting of three constituents, by extending the continuum-discretized coupled-channels method. The three-body continuum states of the projectile are discretized by diagonalizing the internal Hamiltonian of the projectile with the Gaussian basis functions. For $^6$He+$^{12}$C scattering at 18 and 229.8 MeV, the validity of the method is tested by convergence of the elastic and breakup cross sections with respect to increasing the number of the basis functions. Effects of the four-body breakup and the Borromean structure of $^6$He on the elastic and total reaction cross sections are discussed.

description: Our understanding of risk preferences can be sharpened by considering their evolutionary basis. The existing literature has focused on two sources of risk: idiosyncratic risk and aggregate risk. We introduce a new source of risk, heritable risk, in which there is a positive correlation between the fitness of a newborn agent and the fitness of her parent. Heritable risk was plausibly common in our evolutionary past and it leads to a strictly higher growth rate than the other sources of risk. We show that the presence of heritable risk in the evolutionary past may explain the tendency of people to exhibit skewness loving today.

description: The default variable-importance measure in random Forests, Gini importance, has been shown to suffer from the bias of the underlying Gini-gain splitting criterion. While the alternative permutation importance is generally accepted as a reliable measure of variable importance, it is also computationally demanding and suffers from other shortcomings. We propose a simple solution to the misleading/untrustworthy Gini importance which can be viewed as an overfitting problem: we compute the loss reduction on the out-of-bag instead of the in-bag training samples.

description: We study the decay of Theta+ in a non-relativistic quark model. The wave function of Theta+ is constructed for the two cases JP = 1/2+- as products of color, spin, flavor and orbital parts respecting total antisymmetrization among the four quarks. We find that for the negative parity Theta+ the width becomes very large which is of order of several hundreds MeV, while it is about a several tens MeV for the positive parity. By assuming additionally diquark correlations, the width is reduced to be of order 10 MeV. It is also pointed out that a similar calculation for 3/2- results in strong suppression of its width.

description: In the Caribbean several epidemics of yam anthracnose have led to the demise of sustainable production of White Lisbon yam. Research into yam anthracnose at the University ofthe West Indies, Cave Hill Campus has shown that C. gloeosporioides isolates from yam are host-selective isolates ofYam C. gloeosporioides causing yam anthracnose were capable of infecting yarn only, while isolates from other crops such as citrus and mango did not infect yam. RAPD analysis ofthese isolates showed that isolates from yam were genetically similar, but distantly related to isolates from other crop types. Moreover, phytotoxin studies supported the host-selective nature of C. gloeosporioides isolates causing yam anthracnose. This results and information on epidemiology on yam anthracnose were used to develop and test a model for establishing large-scale of White Lisbon yam production in Barbados.

description: We find evidence of the alignment of the azimuthal angle of the spin vectors of quasars in large quasar groups of different redshift. This effect is probably of cosmological origin and could be explained by symmetry breaking of the scalar-gauge field of cosmic strings in the early universe. It is expected that this effect will be more profound for higher redshift.

description: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), a group of novel antidiabetic agents, demonstrated beneficial cardiovascular effects in recent large, placebo-controlled randomised clinical trials (RCTs); their clear antiarrhythmic benefit has not been yet underlined. The purpose of the present meta-analysis is to clarify the impact of GLP-1RAs on different types of cardiac arrhythmias. We searched PubMed from its inception up to 8 October 2020 for all available cardiovascular and renal outcome, placebo-controlled RCTs utilising GLP-1RAs versus placebo. The present meta-analysis is reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) statement. We included data from 7 RCTs with GLP-1RAs in a total of 55,943 participants. Treatment with GLP-1RAs did not provide significant benefit in the risk for atrial fibrillation (RR = 0.81, 95%CI; 0.78–1.15, I2 = 51%), atrial flutter (RR = 0.79, 95%CI; 0.53–1.16, I2 = 0%), ventricular fibrillation (RR = 0.99, 95%CI; 0.48–2.04, I2 = 0%), ventricular tachycardia (RR = 1.41, 95%CI; 0.87–2.28, I2 = 10%), atrial tachycardia (RR = 0.63, 95%CI; 0.10–3.90, I2 = 24%), sinus node dysfunction (RR = 0.70, 95%CI; 0.40–1.23, I2 = 0%), ventricular extrasystoles (RR = 1.37, 95%CI; 0.56–3.30, I2 = 0%), second-degree atrioventricular block (RR = 0.96, 95%CI; 0.52–1.74, I2 = 0%) or complete atrioventricular block (RR = 0.78, 95%CI; 0.39–1.54, I2 = 38%). In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, treatment with GLP-1RAs does not significantly affect the risk for major cardiac arrhythmias.

description: Roles of instanton induced interactions (III) in the masses of pentaquark baryons, Theta^+ (J=1/2 and 3/2) and Xi^{--}, and a dibaryon, H, are discussed using the MIT bag model in the negative parity case. It is shown that the two-body terms in III give a strong attraction mainly due to the increase of the number of pairs in multi-quark systems. In contrast, the three-body u-d-s interaction is repulsive. It is found that III lowers the mass of Theta^+ as much as 100 MeV from the mass predicted by the bag model without III.

title: The nature and role of social presence in audiographic, synchronous online language learning contexts
Creators: name: Fayram, Joanna
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2017

description: This study explores social presence (SP) and its nature and role in online language tutorials at the Open University. My research questions ask how SP is perceived to influence language learning and what factors impact on the projection of SP from the learner perspective. I also ask if these perceptions are evidenced through observed aspects of tutor and learner participation. Within the field of computer-mediated communication (CMC), SP theory has evolved from a view of SP as a product of a technological medium to an understanding of the impact of social interaction on its development and projection. Research studies in CMC highlight the importance of SP but, as yet, the links between SP and online language learning have not been fully explored. Whereas socio-cultural theory provides a framework for my understanding of the importance of social interaction in learning, I draw on the field of multimodality to gain insight into the meaning-making potential of multimodal environments. I also draw on the Community of Inquiry framework (Garrison et al., 2000) to provide both a theory and methodology for my study of SP. My principal finding is that positive SP is important in online language learning, not only to support and facilitate language interaction but also as a necessary aspect of communication in language learning. However, the generation and impact of SP are contingent upon factors related to individual learner differences and emotional responses, and to its interplay with teaching presence and ‘language learning presence’, which is a new concept. SP must always be understood in relation to the primary mediating variables of the subject area and online learning environment. The pedagogical relevance of my study is located in insights into the nature and role of SP in online language learning, derived from an integrated methodology, involving both student perspectives and my observations of online interaction.
