title: Неубиваемый «главкизм» и вопросы финансирования госпредприятий: экономическая политика большевиков в 1917—1923 гг.

description: Экономическая политика всегда формируется под влиянием множества факторов и оказывается по итогу попыткой примирить хаотические и часто непредсказуемые движения рынка с замыслами наиболее централизованных групп капитала. В Советской России проведение генеральной политической линии изначально отталкивалось от общего хозяйственного плана, формировавшегося государством «пролетарской диктатуры», которое объединило все крупнейшие средства производства под своим контролем. Централизованность и прямота этого процесса являлись, однако, оптической иллюзией, в то время как рыночная анархия в целом не ослабла, изменяясь лишь по форме — принимая вывеску «государственного капитала». Этот процесс наилучшим образом отражается в динамике «трестирования» русской промышленности и сложных дискуссиях, которые велись в Политбюро ЦК РКП(б) по вопросу о финансировании национальной промышленности. Демонстрация борьбы «главков» и «центров», объединявших формально государственные предприятия, позволит провести более точный учет действовавших социальных сил, которые зачастую оказывали определяющее влияние на содержание экономической политики большевиков.

description: PhotoVoltaic (PV) power is one of the rapidly growing solar energy technologies worldwide. The installed PV power capacity has considerably increased over the past decades. Consequently, the End-of-Life management of used PV modules is becoming very urgent. This article investigates strategic recycling network planning for recycling PV module considering reclaimed resource price uncertainty. Based on a real case setting, the problem is first formulated as a risk-neutral model and then extended to a risk-averse model that considers the risk preferences of investors. Moreover, robust reformulations of the risk-neutral/risk-averse models are proposed to hedge against ambiguity in the probability distribution of the uncertain resource price. An outer approximation based solution approach is proposed to solve the robust reformulations. Numerical experiments with test data generated from the real case are carried out to demonstrate the benefits of the resulting robust model and managerial insights are explored. Lastly, conclusions are drawn and future research directions are outlined.

description: We construct a global geometric model for the bosonic sector and Killing spinor equations of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ supergravity coupled to a chiral non-linear sigma model and a Spin$^{c}_0$ structure. The model involves a Lorentzian metric $g$ on a four-manifold $M$, a complex chiral spinor and a map $φ\colon M\to \mathcal{M}$ from $M$ to a complex manifold $\mathcal{M}$ endowed with a novel geometric structure which we call chiral triple. Using this geometric model, we show that if $M$ is spin the Kähler-Hodge condition on a complex manifold $\mathcal{M}$ is enough to guarantee the existence of an associated $\mathcal{N}=1$ chiral geometric supergravity, positively answering a conjecture proposed by D. Z. Freedman and A. V. Proeyen. We dimensionally reduce the Killing spinor equations to a Riemann surface $X$, obtaining a novel system of partial differential equations for a harmonic map with potential $φ\colon X\to \mathcal{M}$ from $X$ into the Kähler moduli space $\mathcal{M}$ of the theory. We characterize all Riemann surfaces admitting supersymmetric solutions with vanishing superpotential, proving that they consist on holomorphic maps of Riemann surfaces into $\mathcal{M}$ satisfying certain compatibility condition with respect to the canonical bundle of $X$ and the chiral triple of the theory. Furthermore, we classify the biholomorphism type of all Riemann surfaces carrying supersymmetric solutions with complete Riemannian metric and finite-energy scalar map.

description: We present results for the b \bar b spectrum obtained using an O(M_bv^6)-correct non-relativistic lattice QCD action, where M_b denotes the bare b-quark mass and v^2 is the mean squared quark velocity. Propagators are evaluated on SESAM's three sets of dynamical gauge configurations generated with two flavours of Wilson fermions at beta = 5.6. These results, the first of their kind obtained with dynamical Wilson fermions, are compared to a quenched analysis at equivalent lattice spacing, beta = 6.0. Using our three sea-quark values we perform the ``chiral'' extrapolation to m_eff = m_s/3, where m_s denotes the strange quark mass. The light quark mass dependence is found to be small in relation to the statistical errors. Comparing the full QCD result to our quenched simulation we find better agreement of our dynamical data with experimental results in the spin-independent sector but observe no unquenching effects in hyperfine-splittings. To pin down the systematic errors we have also compared quenched results in different ``tadpole'' schemes as well as using a lower order action. We find that spin-splittings with an O(M_bv^4) action are O(10%) higher compared to O(M_bv^6) results. Relative to the results obtained with the plaquette method the Landau gauge mean link tadpole scheme raises the spin splittings by about the same margin so that our two improvements are opposite in effect.

description: Bisphenol A is a commercially important chemical used to make polycarbonate plastic, epoxy resins, and other specialty products. Despite an extensive body of in vitro, animal and human observational studies on the effects of exposure to bisphenol A, no authoritative bodies in the U.S. have adopted or recommended occupational exposure limits for bisphenol A. In 2017, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health published a Draft process for assigning health-protective occupational exposure bands, i.e., an airborne concentration range, to chemicals lacking an occupational exposure limit. Occupational exposure banding is a systematic process that uses both quantitative and qualitative toxicity information on selected health effect endpoints to assign an occupational exposure band for a chemical. The Draft process proposes three methodological tiers of increasing complexity for assigning an occupational exposure band. We applied Tier 1 (based on the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling) and Tier 2 (based on authoritative sources/reviews) to assign an occupational exposure band to bisphenol A. Under both Tier 1 and 2, the occupational exposure band for bisphenol A was “E” (<0.01 mg/m3), an assignment based on eye damage. “E” is the lowest exposure concentration range, reserved for chemicals with high potential toxicity. If eye damage was excluded in assigning an air concentration exposure range, then bisphenol A would band as “D” (>0.01 to 0.1 mg/m3) under Tier 1 (based on reproductive toxicity and respiratory/skin sensitization) and under Tier 2 (based on specific target organ toxicity-repeated exposure). In summary, Tiers 1 and 2 gave the same occupational exposure band for bisphenol A when eye damage was included (“E”) or excluded (“D”) as an endpoint.

description: A mixed-methods, two-part study was deployed exploring experiences of students with disabilities at George Mason University. The first part of the study involved a quantitative survey of student attitudes towards persons with disabilities and a series of fairness questions targeting how fair students felt their disabled peers' accommodations were. The second part of the study involved structured, written interviews centering the experiences of students with disabilities. The hypothesis of the quantitative study was that there would be a correlation between more negative attitudes towards persons with disabilities and increased perception of accommodations being unfair. This hypothesis was partially supported. The qualitative portion of the study was more exploratory in nature, analyzed for trends across six domains—background and general experiences with disability, positive experiences, negative experiences, disclosure, academic effects, and general quality improvement questions regarding use of services offered by Office of Disability Services.

description: Between 1992-1995 Bosnia and Herzegovina was torn by a civil war between its three constituent ethnicities: the Bosniaks, Bosnian Croats and the Bosnian Serbs. The Dayton Accords brought an end to the fighting and created the Bosnian state. Almost twenty years later this thesis will attempt to look at contemporary Bosnian society to try and evaluate whether there is a state of peace. It will do so by looking at two criteria: the presence of violence within Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the presence of harmonious relationships within Bosnia and Herzegovina. The presence of violence will assessed by looking into the phenomena of organized crime and domestic violence, while harmonious relationships are assessed by looking into the political system within Bosnia and Herzegovina and the educational system. Looking at these four criteria the thesis will try and establish whether there is peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina and will subsequently try to analyse the role Dayton has played in the situation that can be found within modern day Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Efficient Global Optimal Resource Allocation in Non-Orthogonal Interference Networks

description: Many resource allocation tasks are challenging global (i.e., non-convex) optimization problems. The main issue is that the computational complexity of these problems grows exponentially in the number of variables instead of polynomially as for many convex optimization problems. However, often the non-convexity stems only from a subset of variables. Conventional global optimization frameworks like monotonic optimization or DC programming treat all variables as global variables and require complicated, problem specific decomposition approaches to exploit the convexity in some variables. To overcome this challenge, we develop an easy-to-use algorithm that inherently differentiates between convex and non-convex variables, preserving the low computational complexity in the number of convex variables. Another issue with these widely used frameworks is that they may suffer from severe numerical problems. We discuss this issue in detail and provide a clear motivating example. The solution to this problem is to replace the traditional approach of finding an ε-approximate solution by the novel concept of ε-essential feasibility. The underlying algorithmic approach is called successive incumbent transcending (SIT) algorithm and builds the foundation of our developed algorithm. A further highlight of this algorithm is that it inherently treats fractional objectives making the use of Dinkelbach's iterative algorithm obsolete. Numerical experiments show a speed-up of four orders of magnitude over state-of-the-art algorithms and almost three orders of magnitude of additional speed-up over Dinkelbach's algorithm for fractional programs.

description: We explore the effects of the proximity to a superconductor on the level density of a billiard for the two extreme cases that the classical motion in the billiard is chaotic or integrable. In zero magnetic field and for a uniform phase in the superconductor, a chaotic billiard has an excitation gap equal to the Thouless energy. In contrast, an integrable (rectangular or circular) billiard has a reduced density of states near the Fermi level, but no gap. We present numerical calculations for both cases in support of our analytical results. For the chaotic case, we calculate how the gap closes as a function of magnetic field or phase difference.

description: I am arguing in this thesis for an interpretation of a relational ontology as it is presented in the thought of Jean-Luc Nancy and Raimon Panikkar. This thesis offers an understanding of the meaning of being as it is found in the Heideggerean ontological tradition. My aim is to interpret the implications of the relation as it portrays the everyday as meaningful. I argue that both Nancy and Panikkar offer an understanding of relationality in which the everyday becomes existentially meaningful. In a dialogical analysis between Nancy and Panikkar, I offer two in depth interpretations of a relational ontology that differ in the philosophical understanding of the relationality to broaden the implications of intra-philosophical dialogue.

description: We investigated the electron tunneling out of a quantum dot in the presence of a continuous monitoring by a detector. It is shown that the Schrödinger equation for the whole system can be reduced to new Bloch-type rate equations describing the time-development of the detector and the measured system at once. Using these equations we find that the continuous measurement of the unstable system does not affect its exponential decay, $\exp (-Γt)$, contrary to expectations based on the Quantum Zeno effect . However, the width of the energy distribution of the tunneling electron is no more $Γ$, but increases due to the decoherence, generated by the detector.

description: Abstract

The Government of India recognized occupation as a crucial factor for increasing per capita income and eliminating familial destitution. In line with this objective, they introduced various initiatives for rural development after the declaration of independence, most notably during the Fifth Five-Year Plan. One such initiative was the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), which aimed to enhance rural employment opportunities and alleviate rural destitution. To evaluate the impact of MGNREGS on the environment and infrastructure in rural areas, a research was undertaken in the Krishnagiri district of Tamil Nadu. The inquiry included 160 respondents, and their environmental and infrastructural conditions were assessed both before and after the implementation of MGNREGS. The findings of the study indicated a positive influence of MGNREGS on the rural population. The assessment was carried out on a component-by-component basis. It revealed significant improvements in various aspects. Firstly, as the respondents aspired to become self-employed in the future, there was an observed emphasis on the preservation of natural resources. This indicated a growing awareness of sustainable practices and environmental consciousness among the rural population. Secondly, the implementation of MGNREGS contributed to enhanced rural connectivity, resulting in improved infrastructure conditions in the area. Better infrastructure facilitates greater economic activity and better living standards. Lastly, the study highlighted the positive impact of MGNREGS on grassroots democracy, empowering local communities to involve in the process of decision-making processes. In conclusion, the study demonstrated that MGNREGS played a crucial role in uplifting the environmental and infrastructural conditions of the Thally block in Krishnagiri district. By providing employment opportunities, promoting natural resource preservation, and improving rural connectivity, MGNREGS contributed significantly to the overall development and well-being of the rural populace.

description: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a common inflammatory arthritis, with a high prevalence in patients in their mid-20s. Its pathogenesis is not well understood; however, genetic factors likely play a critical role. Epigenetic DNA changes may be involved in the pathogenesis of AS. In this study, we explored the methylation and transcription levels of the B7-H3 gene and its association with AS in an eastern Chinese Han population. Peripheral blood of AS patients and healthy controls was used to extract genomic DNA and B7-H3 methylation levels were analyzed using sodium bisulfite followed by multiplex polymerase chain reaction. SPSS software was used to determine the statistical significance of the results. Hypomethylation of the promoter of the B7-H3 gene was observed in AS patients, whereas the B7-H3 gene expression was significantly enhanced in AS patients. Epigenetic modifications of B7-H3 were associated with susceptibility to AS. Hypomethylation of the B7-H3 promoter, which leads to B7-H3 overexpression, may be involved in the pathogenesis of AS.
Continuity Equation in Presence of a Non-local potential in Non-Commutative Phase-Space

description: We studied the continuity equation in presence of a local potential, and a non-local potential arising from electron-electron interaction in both commutative and non-commutative phase-space. Furthermore, we examined the influence of the phase-space non-commutativity on both the locality and the non-locality, where the definition of current density in commutative phase-space cannot satisfy the condition of current conservation, but with the steady state, in order to solve this problem, we give a new definition of the current density including the contribution due to the non-local potential. We showed that the calculated current based on the new definition of current density maintains the current. As well for the case when the non-commutativity in phase-space considered, we found that the conservation of the current density completely violated; and the non-commutativity is not suitable for describing the current density in presence of non-local and local potentials. Nevertheless, under some conditions, we modified the current density to solve this problem. Subsequently, as an application we studied the Frahn-Lemmer non-local potential, taking into account that the employed methods concerning the phase-space non-commutativity are both of Bopp-shift linear transformation through the Heisenberg-like commutation relations, and the Moyal-Weyl product.

description: Lateral organ boundary Domain (LBD) proteins are plant-specific transcription factors that play a key role in plant lateral organ development and stress tolerance. However, LBD gene has not been identified in the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Here, a total of 47 common bean LBD genes (PvLBDs) were identified. Members of the same subfamily had similar genetic structures. Synteny analysis indicated that LBDs in the common bean genome have greater collinearity with soybean (Glycine max L.) than with Arabidopsis and rice (Oryza sativa L.). Additionally, 9 pair of segmental duplication genes were identified by collinearity analysis. Phytozome data analysis showed significant differences in PvLBD gene expression abundance between different developmental stages of the same tissue. The qRT-PCR results showed that NaCl, CdCl2, and HgCl2 stresses up-regulated 19% and down-regulated 81% of the PvLBD genes. This study provides a basis for further analysis of the function of the PvLBD gene family.

description: In this paper, we test the self-consistencies of the standard and the covariant light-front quark model and study the zero-mode issue via the decay constants of pseudoscalar ($P$), vector ($V$) and axial-vector ($A$) mesons, as well as the $P\to P$ weak transition form factors. With the traditional type-I correspondence between the manifestly covariant and the light-front approach, the resulting $f_{V}$ as well as $f_{^1\!A}$ and $f_{^3\!A}$ obtained with the $\lbd=0$ and $\lbd=\pm$ polarization states are different from each other, which presents a challenge to the self-consistency of the covariant light-front quark model. However, such a self-consistency problem can be "resolved" within the type-II scheme, which requires an additional replacement $M\to M_0$ relative to the type-I case. Moreover, the replacement $M\to M_0$ is also essential for the self-consistency of the standard light-front quark model. In the type-II scheme, the valence contributions to the physical quantities~(${\cal Q}$) considered in this paper are alway the same as that obtained in the standard light-front quark model, $[{\cal Q}]_{\rm val.}=[{\cal Q}]_{\rm SLF}$, and the zero-mode contributions to $f_{V,^1\!A,^3\!A}$ and $f_-(q^2)$ exist only formally but vanish numerically, which implies further that $[{\cal Q}]_{\rm val.}\dot{=} [{\cal Q}]_{\rm full}$. In addition, the manifest covariance of the covariant light-front quark model is violated in the traditional type-I scheme, but can be recovered by taking the type-II scheme.

description: We present the results of a new evaluation of the running fine structure constant $α$ at the scale of the $Z$ mass in which the role of the $e^+e^-$ annihilation input data needed in this evaluation is minimized. This is achieved by reducing the weight function $M_Z^2/(s(M_Z^2-s))$ in the dispersion integral over the $e^+e^-$ annihilation data by subtracting a polynomial function from the weight function which mimics its energy dependence in given energy intervals. In order to compensate for this subtraction the same polynomial weight integral is added again but is now evaluated on a circular contour in the complex plane using QCD and global duality. For the hadronic contribution to the shift in the fine structure constant we obtain $Δα^{(5)}_{\rm had}=(277.6\pm 4.1)\cdot 10^{-4}$. Adding in the leptonic and top contributions our final result is $α(M_Z)^{-1}=128.925\pm 0.056$.

description: Рассматривается история внутрипартийной борьбы в одном из вузов Ленинграда. Совпадение съездовской дискуссии с полемикой внутри партийной организации института создало уникальную ситуацию. Противостояние шло между инициативной группой сторонников ЦК ВКП(б) и оппозицией. С течением времени оппозиционеры вуза стали восприниматься как подпольная группа с четкой организационной структурой и планом действий. Фрагментарность информации об оппозиционном движении в Ленинграде создала условия, когда данные на оппозиционеров могли предоставить в первую очередь участники инициативных групп сторонников ЦК ВКП(б). Вместе с тем создаваемый борцами с оппозицией образ их политических соперников имел мало общего с действительностью и содержал набор устойчивых пропагандистских шаблонов. Инициативные группы выступали как инструмент конструирования оппозиции. Случай группировки сторонников ЦК ВКП(б) в институте был использован в конце «Большого террора» для критики перегибов на местах.

description: Strong cosmic censorship conjecture has been one of the most important leap of faith in the context of general relativity, providing assurance in the deterministic nature of the associated field equations. Though it holds well for asymptotically flat spacetimes, a potential failure of the strong cosmic censorship conjecture might arise for spacetimes inheriting Cauchy horizon along with a positive cosmological constant. We have explicitly demonstrated that violation of the censorship conjecture holds true in the presence of a Maxwell field even when higher spacetime dimensions are invoked. In particular, for a higher dimensional Reissner-Nordström-de Sitter black hole the violation of cosmic censorship conjecture is at a larger scale compared to the four dimensional one, for certain choices of the cosmological constant. On the other hand, for a brane world black hole, the effect of extra dimension is to make the violation of cosmic censorship conjecture weaker. For rotating black holes, intriguingly, the cosmic censorship conjecture is always respected even in presence of higher dimensions. A similar scenario is also observed for a rotating black hole on the brane.

description: Metal flow analysis, a discipline in industrial ecology, describes the manner in which metals propagate throughout a coupled ecological and industrial system. The current models in industrial ecology are static representations that provide analysts with only a qualitative understanding of the dynamics at play. As such, many industry metrics are difficult to ascertain, such as recyclability and loss rates, future metal demand, and sustainability thresholds. The discipline can be expanded for its current state to a more quantitative framework where reliance on mathematical modeling is central. The intent of this thesis is to provide a fundamental framework for the mathematical modeling of metal flows. A seamless transition is made from the static models to mathematical representations by incorporating dependence (independent or random variables) to the existing models and studying the rate at which metal flows throughout a system. Due to the composition of the static metal flow models (disjoint domains and adherence to conservation of mass), compartmental modeling that has been used for over a century in epidemiology to study the spread of infectious diseases is utilized. Deterministic models consisting of ordinary differential equations are constructed and analyzed. Parameter optimization techniques using the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm and numerical schemes for the acquisition of approximation solutions to the models are constructed and programmed in the Matlab language. In attempts to provide users with the ability to interface with the models—analyze and solve the models based on various parameters— standalone graphical user interfaces written in Matlab are constructed. To provide insight into the modification and improvement of the models, economic principles are introduced into the ordinary differential equation models, a pricing independent variable is included into the models producing systems of reaction-diffusion equations, and economic fluctuations and volatility are modeled using stochastic differential equations.
The Diversity of Superluminous Supernovae from the Dark Energy Survey

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) are an intriguing class of transients; exceptionally long-lived events whose luminosities exceed those of type-Ia SNe by a factor of 10. Despite their potential as probes of the high redshift Universe, the physical origins of SLSNe still remain a mystery. I will present the sample of SLSNe detected over the duration of the Dark Energy Survey (DES). DES is unrivalled in its ability to find high redshift supernovae, due to its well cadenced light-curves, spectroscopy and deep stacks providing photometric redshifts and detailed environmental information for every transient, making it ideal for the study of SLSNe. This sample is the largest homogeneously-selected sample of SLSN events at high redshift, including the highest spectroscopically confirmed supernova at z~2. I will highlight how the DES sample significantly broadens the observable range of properties to the overall SLSN population, challenging the definition of 'normal' SLSN behaviour. I will demonstrate how this excellent dataset also allows us for the first time to rule out the presence of pre-peak bumps for some SLSNe.

description: We investigate analytically and numerically the stability of bubble-like fluxons in disk-shaped heterogeneous Josephson junctions. Using ring solitons as a model of bubble fluxons in the two-dimensional sine-Gordon equation, we show that the insertion of coaxial dipole currents prevents their collapse. We characterize the onset of instability by introducing a single parameter that couples the radius of the bubble fluxon with the properties of the injected current. For different combination of parameters, we report the formation of stable oscillating bubbles, the emergence of internal modes, and bubble breakup due to internal mode instability. We show that the critical germ depends on the ratio between its radius and the steepness of the wall separating the different phases in the system. If the steepness of the wall is increased (decreased), the critical radius decreases (increases). Our theoretical findings are in good agreement with numerical simulations. We discuss applications in quantum information technologies.

description: Recent experiments on the Fermi surface and the electronic structure of the cuprate-supercondutors showed the importance of short range antiferromagnetic correlations for the physics in these systems. Theoretically, features like shadow bands were predicted and calculated mainly for the Hubbard model. In our approach we calculate an approximate selfenergy of the $t$-$J$ model. Solving the $U=\infty$ Hubbard model in the Dynamical Mean Field Theory (DMFT) yields a selfenergy that contains most of the local correlations as a starting point. Effects of the nearest neighbor spin interaction $J$ are then included in a heuristical manner. Formally like in $J$-perturbation theory all ring diagrams, with the single bubble assumed to be purely local, are summed to get a correction to the DMFT-self engergy This procedure causes new bands and can furnish strong deformation of quasiparticle bands. % Our results are finally compared with %former approaches to the Hubbard model.
