description: Consumers often rely on product quality disclosures to make their purchase decisions. Voluntary nutrition labeling (VNL), a means of nutrition quality disclosure, was introduced in the last decade by leading food manufacturers and selected food retailers. To the extent that consumers make inferences based on VNL disclosures as they consider buying non-VNL food products, information spillovers occur. However, previous studies on the effectiveness of VNL programs have not considered information spillover effects. In this study, we examine consumer responses to VNL by incorporating both product participation and information spillover effects. Empirical results from the U.S. ready-to-eat cereal market confirm a positive participation effect of VNL and a strong negative spillover effect on non-VNL products (non-participating food products), especially those that are relatively unhealthy (high in sugar, saturated fat and/or sodium). These findings indicate that ignoring the effects of VNL information spillovers in models of consumer choices may lead to underestimation of the impact of VNL on consumer valuation of participating products and overestimation of consumer valuation of non-participating products, suggesting that an incentive in a firm’s voluntary participation in self-regulated labeling programs may be to avoid negative treatment externalities. Overall, this article shows the importance of including spillover effects in the evaluation of VNL programs and that VNL could play a positive role in improving the healthiness of consumer choices.

description: While the debate on the effectiveness of economic coercion is as long-standing as the reliance on sanctions as a recognised foreign policy tool, less attention has been paid to the particular case of the Russian Federation and its relationship with the neighbouring countries. Given the accumulation of recent incidents of economic diplomacy in the Eurasian region, and in view of the insistent need to refine the pool of possible determinants for effective advancement of Russia’s foreign policy objectives, the following work develops own predictions and verifies them on the cases of Russian bargaining with Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova. Encouraged by the existing scientific gap, this research aims to detect causal pathways leading to favourable outcomes and reveal factors, which help translate bargaining advantage into political capital. Investigation of Russia’s bargaining interactions that took place within 2000 and 2013 not only found support for the limited success of coercive instruments against Kiev, Minsk and Chisinau, but also uncovered economic, regime and issue-specific attributes capable of enhancing Moscow’s ability to achieve its objectives.
description: Im Widerspruch zur umfangreichen Debatte über die Effektivität von Wirtschaftssanktionen zur Erreichung außenpolitischer Ziele steht die Tatsache, dass die Frage nach dem Erfolg Russlands bei der Anwendung wirtschaftlicher Druckinstrumente gegenüber seinen Nachbarstaaten bisher verhältnismäßig wenig wissenschaftliche Aufmerksamkeit gefunden hat. Die folgende Arbeit will einen Beitrag dazu leisten, diese Lücke zu füllen. Das Ziel ist es, die Prozesse der Wirtschaftsdiplomatie in der Eurasischen Region aus der Bargaining-Perspektive zu untersuchen, die Wirksamkeit der russischen Strategie zu bewerten und die Faktoren zu ermitteln, die den Ausgang von Verhandlungen zwischen Russland und Ukraine, Belarus und Moldau im Sinne Moskaus beeinflusst haben. Die Analyse der Verhandlungsprozesse, die zwischen den Parteien im Zeitfenster von 2000 bis 2013 stattgefunden haben, offenbart einerseits einen geringen Erfolg Russischer Druckmittel in Bezug auf die drei Zielländer. Andererseits gibt sie Aufschluss darüber, welche lokalen Gegebenheiten für die Zielerreichung förderlich gewesen sind und welche außenpolitischen Kurskorrekturen für Moskau bessere Ergebnisse hätten herbeiführen können.

description: Soft substrates decorated with micropillar arrays are known to be sensitive to deflection due to capillary action. In this work, we demonstrate micropillared epoxy surfaces are sensitive to single drops of bacterial suspensions. The micropillars can show significant deformations upon evaporation, just as capillary action does in soft substrates. The phenomenon has been studied with five bacterial strains S. epidermidis, L. sakei, P. aeruginosa, E. coli and B. subtilis. The results reveal that only droplets containing motile microbes with flagella stimulate micropillar bending, which leads to significant distortions and pillar aggregations forming dimers, trimers, and higher order clusters. Such deformation is manifested in characteristic patterns that are left on the microarrayed surface following evaporation, and can be easily identified even by the naked eye. Our findings could lay the ground for the design and fabrication of mechanically responsive substrates, sensitive to specific types of microorganisms.

description: The country’s readiness for the development of knowledge economy was measured using the Knowledge Economy Index (KEI) and the Knowledge Index (KI) of The World Bank Institute’s Knowledge for Development Program, 2012. The assessment of the position of the observed countries for the development of knowledge economy is based on the use of a number of analytical procedures. Cluster analysis was used first in order to check for the level of differences according to the KEI parameters and to group the selected countries into clusters, aimed at detecting the deviation of the observed European countries from the remainder of the group. Then we used the radar cart analysis of the four KEI pillars and their key variables in order to identify the current situation with respect to the values of partial indicators of the KEI pillars and establish the relative positions of the selected countries. Finally, over time comparison of the current values of the KEI pillars with the 2000 data was used to illustrate the dynamics of the development of the KEI pillars in crisis conditions. Research results have indicated that there is a prominent lag in the readiness of the Western Balkan countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia and Serbia) behind their EU environment (Austria, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia and Slovenia).

description: I estimate habit formation to dietary fat in two categories of common food products: ground meat and fluid milk. Products in each category display salient fat content information on the packaging and are identical in nearly all aspects other than fat content. This allows habit formation to be based on levels of fat content and eliminates bias arising from unobservable product attributes. I construct a dynamic AIDS model using scanner-generated household purchases of five ground meat products and four fluid milk products during the period 2004 to 2014. Results show strong habit formation to all products in the two categories. In addition, there is modest evidence of a positive association between habit formation and dietary fat for products in both categories. With the exception of fat-free milk, all high fat products exhibit stronger habit formation than low fat products in the ground meat and fluid milk category.
Comprehensive study of phase transitions in relaxational systems with field-dependent coefficients

description: We present a comprehensive study of phase transitions in single-field systems that relax to a non-equilibrium global steady state. The mechanism we focus on is not the so-called Stratonovich drift combined with collective effects, but is instead similar to the one associated with noise-induced transitions a la Horsthemke-Lefever in zero-dimensional systems. As a consequence, the noise interpretation (e.g., Ito vs Stratonvich) merely shifts the phase boundaries. With the help of a mean-field approximation, we present a broad qualitative picture of the various phase diagrams that can be found in these systems. To complement the theoretical analysis we present numerical simulations that confirm the findings of the mean-field theory.

description: Το «μεταδράμα» δεσπόζει κατά τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες στον χώρο της ερμηνείας των δραματουργικών παραγωγών ως ένα από τα πλέον πρωτοπόρα εργαλεία. Ως «μεταδράμα» ορίζεται ο τρόπος με τον οποίον το δραματικό έργο κάνει λόγο για τον ίδιο του τον εαυτό ως ποιητική σύνθεση ή θεατρική παράσταση χρησιμοποιώντας ειδικούς μηχανισμούς εστίασης και ανάδειξης της υπόστασής του. Υπό το «μεταδραματικό» πρίσμα προσεγγίζεται στην παρούσα μελέτη το έργο του Σενέκα “Hercules Furens”. Ο «μεταδραματικός» χαρακτήρας της τραγωδίας αυτής εντοπίζεται κατά κύριο λόγο στα δύο πρωταγωνιστικά πρόσωπα: της Ήρα και τον Ηρακλή. Η θεά επιθυμώντας την καταστροφή του νόθου τέκνου του Δία μηχανορραφεί εις βάρος του σκηνοθετώντας ένα «υποέργο», το οποίο εντάσσεται στη βασική πλοκή του ευρύτερου έργου και αναδεικνύεται ως ποιήτρια-σκηνοθέτης. Ο Ηρακλής, από την άλλη, επιχειρεί να επαναφέρει παγκοσμίως την ειρήνη, κυριευμένος, όμως, στην πλεκτάνη της υποδύεται ακούσια όχι μόνο το monstrum αλλά και τον τύραννο Λύκο. Οι δευτερεύοντες ρόλοι που αναλαμβάνουν οι δύο βασικοί ήρωες εντός του έργου του Σενέκα αναδεικνύουν την παραδοσιακή τους λογοτεχνική ταυτότητα, παράλληλα, όμως, εντείνουν την τραγική διάσταση του δραματικού τους χαρακτήρα. Αναλύοντας, λοιπόν, τις «μεταδραματικές» ενδείξεις στον “Hercules Furens” αποκαλύπτεται ο έντεχνος τρόπος με τον οποίον ο Σενέκας κατόρθωσε να αξιοποιήσει την τραγική ποίηση ως εργαλείο ανάδειξης του ίδιου της του εαυτού
description: Metadrama” dominates in the recent decades as one of the most pioneer tools in the field of the interpretation of the dramatic productions. As “metadrama” is defined the way in which the dramatic play refers to itself as a poetic composition or as a theatrical performance using special mechanisms of focusing and highlighting its own subsistence. In this thesis the work of Seneca “Hercules Furens” is approached under the prism of “metadrama”. The “metadramatic” aspect of this tragedy is mainly located in the two protagonists: Juno and Hercules. The goddess yearns the disaster of the illegitimate child of Jove and therefore cabals against him directing a “subplot”, which is included in the basic plot of the wider work and stands her out as a creator-poetess. Hercules, trapped in her frame-up, impersonates involuntarily not only the role of monstrum, with which Juno has him assigned, but also this of tyrant Lycus. The secondary roles which these two dramatic protagonists undertake in Seneca’s tragedy highlight their traditional literary identity as well as they intensify the tragic dimension of their dramatic character. Analyzing the “metadramatic” indications in “Hercules Furens” the artful way in which Seneca has managed to treat tragic poetry as a tool of highlighting itself is revealed

description: The introduction of electronic legal deposit is arguably the greatest transformation which national libraries have undergone in our professional lifetimes. This article argues that many institutions have successfully implemented technical, structural, and cultural transformative change, while there is more to do, and challenges remain. When it comes to transfer however, the ability to give users meaningful access to the legal deposit collections, the picture is rather different: much good work is being done, but the transformative potential of electronic legal deposit has not been realised for our users. The article explores the broader cultural background specifically in the United Kingdom against which the relevant legislation was shaped to understand better what steps could be taken in the future to redress this imbalance.

description: In the last few decades, vegetable production in greenhouses has been more and more presented within the national agriculture. On small agricultural holdings, in aforementioned form of protected production area, dominate the tomato, cucumber and pepper growing. However, in recent years, beside vegetable crops, flowers are more and more grown (seedlings and cut flowers), where on the territory of Pančevo city, in cut flowers production calla lily becomes particularly interesting to producers. In paper are presented some specificities in cucumber and calla lily production in greenhouse, with the main goal to easily determine (according to contribution margin analysis in the cut flowers (calla lily) and cucumber production) in which line of plant production can be expected achievement of potentially better financial results. All, for analysis, necessary data were obtained from the small family agricultural holdings located at the territory of Pančevo city (within the Metropolitan area Belgrade - Novi Sad). After analytical calculations based on the variable costs have been made, it can be concluded that producers may generally achieve better production results within the calla lily production.

description: Despite considerable work on the energy-level and wavefunction statistics of disordered quantum systems, numerical studies of those statistics relevant for electron-electron interactions in mesoscopic systems have been lacking. We plug this gap by using a tight-binding model to study a wide variety of statistics for the two-dimensional, disordered quantum system in the diffusive regime. Our results are in good agreement with random matrix theory (or its extensions) for simple statistics such as the probability distribution of energy levels or spatial correlation of a wavefunction. However, we see substantial disagreement in several statistics which involve both integrating over space and different energy levels, indicating that disordered systems are more complex than previously thought. These are exactly the quantities relevant to electron-electron interaction effects in quantum dots; in fact, we apply these results to the Coulomb blockade, where we find altered spacings between conductance peaks and wider spin distributions than traditionally expected.

description: Object-level data association and pose estimation play a fundamental role in semantic SLAM, which remain unsolved due to the lack of robust and accurate algorithms. In this work, we propose an ensemble data associate strategy for integrating the parametric and nonparametric statistic tests. By exploiting the nature of different statistics, our method can effectively aggregate the information of different measurements, and thus significantly improve the robustness and accuracy of data association. We then present an accurate object pose estimation framework, in which an outliers-robust centroid and scale estimation algorithm and an object pose initialization algorithm are developed to help improve the optimality of pose estimation results. Furthermore, we build a SLAM system that can generate semi-dense or lightweight object-oriented maps with a monocular camera. Extensive experiments are conducted on three publicly available datasets and a real scenario. The results show that our approach significantly outperforms state-of-the-art techniques in accuracy and robustness. The source code is available on: https://github.com/yanmin-wu/EAO-SLAM.

They show a depletion compared to the expectations and are consistent with neutrino oscillations with a mass-splitting in the range favoured by the Super-Kamiokande atmospheric neutrino measurements. Here we examine the extent by which the range of Delta m^2 obtained from the K2K measurements can vary due to the uncertainties in the flux, cross-section, and detector efficiency.

Food (in)security in the Canadian Arctic : a home economics educator’s narrative journey
Creators: name: Johnson, Susie
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Food insecurity is a huge concern across the Canadian Arctic. Research shows that close to 70% of Inuit preschoolers live in food insecure homes and the overall prevalence of household food insecurity in the Arctic is close to 63% (Egeland, Williamson-Bathory, Johnson-Down & Sobol, 2011). The relatively recent transition from a traditional diet to a diet highly supplemented with expensive store-bought foods has contributed to the lack of food security among Inuit. Education can be part of the solution for food insecurity in Nunavut, and home economics teachers in Nunavut are in a unique position to be able to deliver a program that could assist in alleviating the high incidences of food insecurity in the territory. At the moment, very little research exists in terms of how home economic education can be a tool to support increasing food security levels in Nunavut. My selfstudy research looks my own experiences as a home economics teacher in the Arctic, with the goal of determining what role home economics education could possibly play in improving Nunavut’s currently dire food situation.

description: In the large-U limit, the Falicov-Kimball model maps onto an effective Ising model, with an order parameter described by a BCS-like mean-field theory in infinite dimensions. In the small-U limit, van Dongen and Vollhardt showed that the order parameter assumes a strange non-BCS-like shape with a sharp reduction near T approx T_c/2. Here we numerically investigate the crossover between these two regimes and qualitatively determine the order parameter for a variety of different values of U. We find the overall behavior of the order parameter as a function of temperature to be quite anomalous.

Family studies curriculum changes : matching societal needs?
Creators: name: Khosa, Hardeep Kaur
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: This paper examines the Family Studies curriculum documents from 1979 to 2016 in British Columbia to determine whether the curriculum in relevant in terms of the social, political, and economic conditions of the times. It seeks to determine to what extent the governmentimplemented changes in the curriculum reflect the needs of students and the society in which they live. This paper extends previous work done analyzing the Home Economics government mandated curriculum. Five Family Studies mandated curriculum documents - 1979; 1986; 1998; 2007 and 2016 (draft) – are included in the studies. Findings indicate that the mandatory learning outcomes are vague enough that a teacher could adapt them to the context of the time; however, the content is not explicitly linked to the context, hence the creation of broad learning outcomes.

description: We combine two first-principles computer simulation techniques, path integral Monte-Carlo and density functional theory molecular dynamics, to determine the equation of state of magnesium oxide in the regime of warm dense matter, with densities ranging from 0.35 to 71~g$\,$cm$^{-3}$ and temperatures from 10,000 K to $5\times10^8$~K. These conditions are relevant for the interiors of giant planets and stars as well as for shock wave compression measurements and inertial confinement fusion experiments. We study the electronic structure of MgO and the ionization mechanisms as a function of density and temperature. We show that the L-shell orbitals of magnesium and oxygen hybridize at high density. This results into a gradual ionization of the L-shell with increasing density and temperature. In this regard, MgO behaves differently from pure oxygen, which is reflected in the shape of the MgO principal shock Hugoniot curve. The curve of oxygen shows two compression maxima, while that of MgO shows only one. We predict a maximum compression ratio of 4.66 to occur for a temperature of 6.73 $\times 10^7$ K. Finally we study how multiple shocks and ramp waves can be used to cover a large range of densities and temperatures.

description: The transition between the stripe state and the liquid state in a high magnetic field is studied by the density-matrix renormalization-group (DMRG) method. Systematic analysis on the ground state of two-dimensional electrons in the lowest Landau level shows that the transition from the stripe state to the liquid state at v=3/8 is caused by a reduction of repulsive interaction around r=3. The same reduction of the interaction also stabilizes the incompressible liquid states at v=1/3 and 2/5, which shows a similarity between the two liquid states at v=3/8 and 1/3. It is also shown that the strong short-range interaction around r=1 in the lowest Landau level makes qualitatively different stripe correlations compared with that in higher Landau levels.

description: We investigate the effects of turbulent fluctuations on the Lagrangian statistics of absorption of a scalar field by tracer particles, as a model for nutrient uptake by suspended non-motile microorganisms. By means of extensive direct numerical simulations of an Eulerian-Lagrangian model we quantify, in terms of the Sherwood number, the increase of the scalar uptake induced by turbulence and its dependence on the Peclet and Reynolds numbers. Numerical results are compared with classical predictions for a stationary shear flow extended here to take into account the presence of a restoring scalar flux. We find that mean field predictions agree with numerical simulations at low Peclet numbers but are unable to describe the large fluctuations of local scalar uptake observed for large Peclet numbers. We also study the role of velocity fluctuations in the local uptake by looking at the temporal correlation between local shear and uptake rate and we find that the latter follows fluid velocity fluctuations with a delay given by Kolmogorov time scale. The relevance of our results for aquatic microorganisms is also discussed.

description: Current-density-functional theory is used to calculate ionization energies of current-carrying atomic states. A perturbative approximation to full current-density-functional theory is implemented for the first time, and found to be numerically feasible. Different parametrizations for the current-dependence of the density functional are critically compared. Orbital currents in open-shell atoms turn out to produce a small shift in the ionization energies. We find that modern density functionals have reached an accuracy at which small current-related terms appearing in open-shell configurations are not negligible anymore compared to the remaining difference to experiment.

Reactor Neutrino Experiments Compared to Superbeams

description: We present a detailed quantitative discussion of the measurement of the leptonic mixing angle $\sin^2 2 θ_{13}$ with a future reactor neutrino oscillation experiment consisting of a near and far detector. We perform a thorough analysis of the impact of various systematical errors and compare the resulting physics potential to the one of planned first-generation superbeam experiments. Furthermore, we investigate the complementarity of both types of experiments. We find that, under realistic assumptions, a determination of $\sin^2 2 θ_{13}$ down to $10^{-2}$ is possible with reactor experiments. They are thus highly competitive to first-generation superbeams and may be able to test $\sin^2 2 θ_{13}$ on shorter timescales. In addition, we find that the combination of a KamLAND-size reactor experiment with one or two superbeams could substantially improve the ability to access the neutrino mass hierarchy or the leptonic CP phase.

Coexistence of localized and extended phases: Many-body localization in a harmonic trap

description: We show that the presence of a harmonic trap may in itself lead to many-body localization for cold atoms confined in that trap in a quasi-one-dimensional geometry. Specifically, the coexistence of delocalized phase in the center of the trap with localized region closer to the edges is predicted with the borderline dependent on the curvature of the trap. The phenomenon, similar in its origin to Stark localization, should be directly observed with cold atomic species. We discuss both the spinless and the spinful fermions, for the latter we address Stark localization at the same time as it has not been analyzed up till now.

description: Στην παρούσα εργασία μελετώνται τα αεροζόλ (αεροδιαλύματα) και ειδικότερα τα αιωρούμενα σωματίδια. Ειδικότερα, επικεντρώνεται στα αιωρούμενα σωματίδια αεροδυναμικής διαμέτρου 2.5 και 10 μm (PM 2.5 και PM 10) όπου και παρουσιάζονται οι διάφορες πηγές και τα χαρακτηριστικά τους, καθώς και τα ασφαλή επίπεδά τους. Κύριο τμήμα της εργασίας αυτής είναι το εμπειρικό κομμάτι της. Εκεί εξετάζονται τα στοιχεία από διάφορες περιοχές της Θεσσαλονίκης σε ό,τι αφορά τις συγκεντρώσεις των αιωρούμενων σωματιδίων PΜ 10. Συγκεκριμένα μελετώνται στοιχεία από 5 σταθμούς μέτρησης αιωρούμενων σωματιδίων από ισάριθμες περιοχές της Θεσσαλονίκης. Αυτές οι περιοχές είναι η Πλατεία Αγίας Σοφίας, το Ελευθέριο Κορδελιό, η Σίνδος, το Πανόραμα και η Καλαμαριά, ενώ το χρονικό διάστημα μέσα στο οποίο υπάρχουν τα αρχικά δεδομένα είναι από το έτος 2001 ως το 2017. Γίνεται χρήση τριών μετρικών, του εποχικού κύκλου, της γραμμής τάσης και της ημερήσιας διακύμανσης (ανά ώρα και εποχή). Τελικό συμπέρασμα που προκύπτει είναι ότι κατά μέσο όρο οι συγκεντρώσεις των αιωρούμενων σωματιδίων είναι σε ασφαλή επίπεδα, με αυτές του Κορδελιού και της Πλατείας Αγίας Σοφίας να εμφανίζουν υψηλότερες τιμές.
description: In this dissertation, aerosols are studied initially and specifially the particulate matter particles, either PM 2.5 or PM 10, where various sources and characteristics of theirs are presented, as well as their safety levels. Main part of this project is its empirical part. There, the elements from various regions of Thessalonica are examined, from the five respective measurement stations. There are: St. Sophia Square, Kordelio, Sindos, Panorama and Kalamaria. The time interval of the raw data are the years 2001-2017. Three metrics are used in order to study the concentrations: daily fluctuation, seasonal cycle and trend line. Final conclusion is that according to the mean values, PM 10 are within safety levels, and those of Kordelio and St. Sophia Square contain relatively higher values.
