description: The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of the European Union is the subject of the consecutive reform. The proposal of the CAP after 2020 has been presented in the European Commission’s proposal on 1 June 2018, which defines the proposed forms and scope of the EU agriculture support after 2020. The innovative solutions suggested by the European Commission impose many new obligations on Member States. However, they are associated with significant challenges resulting both from the need to define national strategies as well as obligations to implement policy instruments and measure policy implementation effects. The main objective of this study is to discuss the key implications for Poland resulting from the new delivery model of CAP after 2020 proposed by the EU Commission and to identify the most important “challenges” for policy makers and the entire agricultural sector. In the new perspective of the CAP, no radical changes in the very essence of the Common Agricultural Policy of the EU are foreseen. The basic objectives of the CAP still include supporting agricultural incomes, improving the competitiveness of the EU agriculture or supporting rural development. The main distinguishing feature of the new CAP model, as compared to the existing one, is the fact that individual Member States have a large degree of freedom inshaping national policy in relation to agriculture and rural areas, but they have the obligation to determine measurable effects and selection of instruments, while maintaining the Community nature of the CAP. For Poland, as well as for all Member States, the key challenge is the objective identification of needs of the agriculture and rural areas, and then to select indicators and instruments to effectively achieve the objectives of the CAP. One of the main challenges for Poland is also to include in the strategic plans objectives related to environmental and climate policy, and improvement of the position of farmers in the food supply chain. Another issue that raises the discussion is the policy of supporting agriculture in the form of direct payments and the issue of inequalities in their distribution.

description: Recently, corrections to the standard Einstein-Hilbert action are proposed to explain the current cosmic acceleration in stead of introducing dark energy. We discuss the Palatini formulation of the modified gravity with a $\ln R$ term suggested by Nojiri and Odintsov. We show that in the Palatini formulation, the $\ln R$ gravity can drive a current exponential accelerated expansion and it reduces to the standard Friedmann evolution for high redshift region. We also discuss the equivalent scalar-tensor formulation of the theory. We indicate that the $\ln R$ gravity may still have a conflict with electron-electron scattering experiment which stimulates us to pursue a more fundamental theory which can give the $\ln R$ gravity as an effective theory. Finally, we discuss a problem faced with the extension of the $\ln R$ gravity by adding $R^m$ terms.

description: The aim of the research was to determine whether and to what extent loans for agriculture, i.e. loans for farms and preferential loans affected the level of net profit of cooperative banks in Poland in 2015-2017. The research determined, e.g. that loans for farms are important for generating net profit for small, medium and large cooperative banks. However, the values of the regression coefficient for this variable were relatively low with a slight increasing tendency. The variable defining preferential loans for agriculture appeared only in two models out of nine constructed and with a negative sign. This concerned small and medium-sized cooperative banks. For large cooperative banks, preferential loans for agriculture were not of key importance in generating net profit. Therefore, it can be indicated that preferential loans do not bring financial benefits for cooperative banks. However, cooperative banks support these loans due to their mission towards their members and the environment, related to the development of agriculture as well as rural areas. Regardless of this, it will be necessary to reconstruct the financial revenues of servicing preferential loans.

description: The cost of capital is an important parameter in the assessment of efficient use of sources for business financing. This is also a measure enabling the indirect verification of the basic aim of the company’s long-term business operations – an increase in value. So far, not fully transparent model of evaluating the cost of equity, both in theory and practice, has been developed. As a result, estimations concerning the cost of capital and value of companies are to a large extent subjective. The research – using the CA PM model together with its accepted parameters – proves the stability and precision of the applied methodology. Estimating the cost of capital is of special significance in companies from the Polish meat industry. These entities (in the years under investigation) were obliged to increase investment expenditures as a result of Poland’s accession to the European Union and the necessity to adjust to western-European standards and further consolidation – both in the vertical and horizontal dimensions. Pro-developmental activities required changes in sources of finance and as a result – changes in capital structure. The dilemma concerning “safer” yet more expensive equity, or “cheaper” yet less stable foreign (interest) capital remains unsolved to this day.

description: This study analyzed the welfare implications of collective action, in the form of membership in rural-based organizations, among 351 dairy buffalo farmers in Batangas, Bohol, Cavite, Laguna, Isabela, and Nueva Ecija. Using household consumption expenditure per capita as an indicator of household welfare, results of the Linear Regression with Endogenous Treatment showed that membership in rural-based organizations and herd size increased welfare. The likelihood of the farmers in joining a rural-based organization was also determined to be positively and significantly affected by education, location dummy variables, and total transaction costs. Higher transaction costs incurred by the farmers induced a higher likelihood of membership. Overall, rural-based organizations play a significant role in linking farmers to suppliers, markets, and institutions. Members have taken advantage of reduced transaction costs, better technology transfer and adoption, convenient milk consolidation, and affordable credit services that ultimately improved the household welfare of the sample farmers.

The research covered 207 rural and urban-rural gminas. The synthetic indicators characterising agriculture and rural areas were identified for each gmina. The presented research results show that the frequency of application for the EU funds under the analysed measure has higher values on areas dominated by intensive farming and favourable demographic structure. It is lower, though, for gminas with well-developed entrepreneurship and organic farming.

description: We study the quantum tunnel effect through a potential barrier employing a semiclassical formulation of quantum mechanics based on expectation values of configuration variables and quantum dispersions as dynamical variables. The evolution of the system is given in terms of a dynamical system for which we are able to determine effective trajectories for individual particles, in a total resemblance of the Bohmian description of quantum mechanics. We obtain a type of semiclassical confinement for particles in a similar way as with the quantum potential, and also determine a semiclassical transmission coefficient for the tunneling process.

In comparison with the one-component case, the two-component setup offers more flexibility and several advantages. In view of these advantages, we propose an experiment in which the evolution of the inflaton field, and thereby the generation of density quantum fluctuations in the very early stages of our universe during inflation, can be simulated, realizing a {\em quantum simulation via analogue gravity models}.

description: In this paper, we analyze travel pattern of Iranian women, where typical patriarchal views and specific social and cultural norms may alter the patterns from those in western societies. In addition to inherent psycho-physical gender differences, women in Iran might face special constraints forcing them not to be involved in all activity-travel patterns that men or women in developed countries usually undertake. We pay special attention to the role of marital and employment status of them on their activity-travel patterns. To this extent, we develop a joint mode and daily activity pattern (DAP) discrete choice model, which is a two-level mixed nested Logit. The upper nest of the proposed model embodies women’s DAP choices, and the lower nest belongs to the mode choices. In this paper, we try to show how different factors in a patriarchal Muslim society like Iran affect or restrict women's type and structure of activity-travel patterns.

description: In this paper, we study the relation between the partition function of the free scalar field theory on hypercubes with boundary conditions and asymptotics of discrete partition functions on a sequence of "lattices" which approximate the hypercube as the mesh approaches to zero. More precisely, we show that the logarithm of the zeta regularized determinant of Laplacian on the hypercube with Dirichlet boundary condition appears as the constant term in the asymptotic expansion of the log-determinant of the discrete Laplacian up to an explicitly computable constant. We also investigate similar problems for the massive Laplacian on tori.

description: Polysaccharides have various bioactivities including anti-tumour, antioxidant and immunoregulation, which are correlated with their structural characteristics. Here, four polysaccharides from Glycyrrhiza uralensis (GUPS), Pleurotus ferulae (PFPS), Triticum aestivum (TAPS) and Oryza sativa (OSPS) were purified to compare their structural characteristics and immunoregulatory activities. The data showed that TAPS, OSPS, GUPS and PFPS contained different monosaccharide components and had distinctly structural characteristics. All the four polysaccharides promoted the maturation of dendritic cells (DCs) through TLR4 with different activities. GUPS and PFPS also reduced the phagocytosis of DCs but not for TAPS and OSPS. Importantly, GUPS and PFPS enhanced the Th1 skewing immune response in mice without inflammation. TAPS and OSPS only showed weak immunostimulatory activity in vivo. The immunostimulatory activities of the four polysaccharides were ranked as PFPS = GUPS > TAPS > OSPS.

description: Αντικείμενο της παρούσας μελέτης αποτελεί η απέλαση, μέσα από μια συγκριτική ανάλυση του αντίστοιχου νομοθετικού πλαισίου των ΗΠΑ και της ΕΕ. Στο πρώτο μέρος προσδιορίζεται η έννοια της απέλασης - προκειμένου να καταστεί σαφής η διάκριση από συγγενείς έννοιες – και ακολουθεί η λεπτομερής ανάλυση της αμερικανικής νομοθεσίας - από το Aliens & Sedition Acts του 1798 έως και το Immigration & Nationality Act, στην ισχύουσα μορφή του. Ειδικότερα ζητήματα που θίγονται είναι η συμφωνία των σχετικών νομοθετημάτων με το διεθνές δίκαιο και το αμερικανικό Σύνταγμα, η έννομη προστασία του αλλοδαπού και η ενσωμάτωση ποινικής φύσεως μέτρων στο αμερικανικό δίκαιο αλλοδαπών. Θεματικός άξονας του δεύτερου μέρους είναι η απέλαση στο ευρωπαϊκό και το ελληνικό δίκαιο. Ιδιαίτερη μνεία γίνεται στην ευρωπαϊκή ιθαγένεια – και κατ΄ επέκταση, την ελεύθερη κυκλοφορία των προσώπων κατ' άρθρο 21 ΣΛΕΕ - που συνεπάγεται αυξημένη προστασία από την απέλαση για τους πολίτες κρατών-μελών της ΕΕ. Παράλληλα, εξετάζεται το ρυθμιστικό πλαίσιο που αφορά τους πολίτες τρίτων χωρών. Κατά τη σύγκριση μεταξύ αμερικανικής και ευρωπαϊκής/ελληνικής νομοθεσίας, διερευνήθηκαν οι δικαιολογητικοί λόγοι πίσω από τις σχετικές νομοθετικές επιλογές – ιδίως, ο ρόλος της πολιτικής συγκυρίας.
description: This thesis addresses deportation through a comparative analysis between US and EU/Greek legislation. It consists of two parts. First of all, it is important to define “deportation” and highlight its distinction from other terms. US law is thoroughly analyzed in Part I – from Aliens and Sedition Acts of 1798 to contemporary law, that is to say, Immigration and Nationality Act. Other issues discussed are: accordance with international law as well as constitutionality of the aforementioned acts, forms of relief from removal and criminalization of immigration law in USA. EU/Greek law is examined in Part II. EU citizenship, Free Movement of Persons under article 21 TFEU and procedural safeguards for citizens of member states come under scrutiny. Another significant issue is the way European/Greek law treats non-EU nationals as regards expulsion. The main parameters taken into consideration in this comparative analysis are the ratio legis of the relevant provisions and political circumstances.

description: We perform a statistical study of the turbulent power spectrum at inertial and kinetic scales observed during the first perihelion encounter of Parker Solar Probe. We find that often there is an extremely steep scaling range of the power spectrum just above the ion-kinetic scales, similar to prior observations at 1 AU, with a power-law index of around $-4$. Based on our measurements, we demonstrate that either a significant ($>50\%$) fraction of the total turbulent energy flux is dissipated in this range of scales, or the characteristic nonlinear interaction time of the turbulence decreases dramatically from the expectation based solely on the dispersive nature of nonlinearly interacting kinetic Alfvén waves.

description: The semi-magic $^{110-122}\mathrm{Sn}$ isotopes display signs of shape coexistence in their excited $0^+$ states, which, in contrast to the spherical $0^+$ ground states, are deformed. This paper investigates the nuclear structure of $^{114}\mathrm{Sn}$ using the competing $β^+$ decay and electron capture of a radioactive beam of $^{114}\mathrm{Sb}$ produced at the TRIUMF-ISAC facility using the GRIFFIN spectrometer. This study will allow for an in-depth understanding of the excited $0^+$ states in $^{114}\mathrm{Sn}$, by focusing on their decay patterns. In the present experiment, transitions at 856.2-keV and 1405.0-keV, which were observed in an earlier $β^+$ decay study but not placed in the $^{114}\mathrm{Sn}$ level scheme, have been assigned to the level scheme in connection to the $0^+_3$ level at 2156.0-keV. Properly assigning these transitions refines the level scheme and enhances our understanding of the nuclear structure in $^{114}\mathrm{Sn}$.

description: The academic age (AA) measures a researcher’s experience in producing scientific knowledge. It has an impact on national and institutional policies, including career incentives and funding. However, there have been few studies conducted in global south countries. Our aim was to compare and refine different AA approaches for the Colombian scientific workforce. We used official national data on knowledge products and researchers’ assessment. We found that AAs for different academic activities did not show multi-collinearity. Additionally, comparing national rankings with international research career standards revealed significant disparities. This may lead to an underestimation of researchers’ capacity building in the global south under AA computation and interpretation standards. Our preliminary findings contribute to discussions about the complexity and necessity of defining career stages, with consideration for diversity and inclusiveness.
Teacher use of blended learning : a narrative inquiry
Creators: name: Roach, Sharon M.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia

description: Blended learning is a buzzword in education used to describe any combination of face-to-face and online teaching methods. However, little information exists on teacher perceptions of blended learning and its application to education. This paper describes the results of a narrative inquiry into high school teachers’ use of blended learning and their perceptions of the benefits and challenges of blended learning. The narrative inquiry aimed to generate discussion on how best to use blended learning, knowing that today’s students are the first generation to have spent their entire lives surrounded by and using digital technology. It was conducted in a mid-sized high school located in a rural school division in a prairie province. The research method was qualitative, and the data collection included a questionnaire, interviews, and focus group interviews from a total of nine high school teachers. I also recorded reflections in a research journal. The research shows that benefits of blended learning include facilitating a shift from a teacher-centered to a student-centered classroom, making learning more convenient and flexible, increased student engagement and motivation, and creating a paper-reduced environment. Teachers expressed concerns related to the amount of time to redesign traditional face-to-face classes, the reaction of students, the risk of technical glitches, and limitations of the blended learning platform. Their responses also indicated that their beliefs about teaching and learning influence how they use blended learning. The paper concludes by discussing the study’s findings for practice and future research.

description: Αντικείμενο της παρούσας μεταπτυχιακής εργασίας αποτελεί η νομισματοκοπία με το όνομα και του τύπους του Λυσιμάχου. Αρχικά, αναφέρονται σημαντικά ιστορικά στοιχεία για την βασιλεία και το έργο του Λυσιμάχου και δίνεται το πολιτικό και οικονομικό πλαίσιο. Στη συνέχεια, εξετάζεται η επιρροή που είχαν για την εγχρήματη οικονομία του ελληνιστικού κόσμου οι νομισματοκοπίες του Φιλίππου Β΄ και του Αλεξάνδρου Γ΄, μέσα από την ανάλυση της νομισματικής τους πολιτικής. Επιπλέον, παρουσιάζονται συνοπτικά τα χαρακτηριστικά των νομισματοκοπιών των Διαδόχων, ώστε να διαφανούν τόσο τα κοινά στοιχεία όσο και οι διαφορές τους. Στο κύριο μέρος της εργασίας, μελετώνται τα νομίσματα του Λυσιμάχου μέσα από τρεις άξονες: αρχικά της εικονογραφίας των χρυσών, αργυρών και χάλκινων εκδόσεων, στη συνέχεια των νομισματοκοπείων όπου εκδίδονταν και τέλος της κυκλοφορίας τους στον αρχαίο κόσμο, σύμφωνα με τα δεδομένα των νομισματικών θησαυρών.
description: The aim of the present thesis is the study of the coins with the name and the types of Lysimachus. At first, certain important historical facts about Lysimachus' reign, as well as the political and economic context are presented. Then, the impact of the coins of Philip II and Alexander III on the monetary economy of the Hellenistic world is examined through the analysis of their monetary policies. Furthermore, the characteristics of the coins of the Successors are briefly presented so that both the common elements and their differences emerge. In the main part of the thesis, the coins of Lysimachus are studied through three axes: first through the iconography of the gold, silver and bronze issues, secondly through the mints where they were issued and thirdly through their circulation in the ancient world, according to the data of the coin hoards.

description: The world in which we live is constantly changing, and the research of changeс enables the appearance of theories which more competent to explain economic reality. World events in recent years have shown that the economic crisis are the reality of capitalism Mature view of the world which is in the process of the creation again activated to Marxist theory in the West, on the one hand, and pointed to obviously depreciated role of institutes in technological progress, on the other (side). This paper has two main purposes. One is to explain how, exactly, the elements of the methodology and theory of classical and modern Marxism help investigating the cause of the crisis and demonstrating ways to overcome them. The other is to review the role of institutes in technological progress which in the large extent determine the speed and effectiveness of the development of the new technologies in the economic system.

description: In many moving object databases, future locations of vehicles in arterial networks are predicted. While most of studies apply the frequent behavior of historical trajectories or vehicles’ recent kinematics as the basis of predictions, consideration of the dynamics of the intersections is mostly neglected. Signalized intersections make vehicles experience different delays, which vary from zero to some minutes based on the traffic state at intersections. In the absence of traffic signal information (red and green times of traffic signal phases, the queue lengths, approaching traffic volume, turning volumes to each intersection leg, etc.), the experienced delays in traffic signals are random variables. In this paper, we model the probability distribution function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the delay for any point in the arterial networks based on a spatiotemporal model of the queue at the intersection. The probability of the presence of a vehicle in a zone is determined based on the modeled probability function of the delay. A comparison between the results of the proposed method and a well-known kinematic-based method indicates a significant improvement in the precisions of the predictions.

description: Neuromorphic photonics has recently emerged as a promising hardware accelerator, with significant potential speed and energy advantages over digital electronics, for machine learning algorithms such as neural networks of various types. Integrated photonic networks are particularly powerful in performing analog computing of matrix-vector multiplication (MVM) as they afford unparalleled speed and bandwidth density for data transmission. Incorporating nonvolatile phase-change materials in integrated photonic devices enables indispensable programming and in-memory computing capabilities for on-chip optical computing. Here, we demonstrate a multimode photonic computing core consisting of an array of programable mode converters based on metasurface made of phase-change materials. The programmable converters utilize the refractive index change of the phase-change material Ge-Sb-Te during phase transition to control the waveguide spatial modes with a very high precision of up 64 levels in modal contrast. This contrast is used to represent the matrix elements, with 6-bit resolution and both positive and negative values, to perform MVM computation in neural network algorithms. We demonstrate an optical convolutional neural network that can perform image processing and classification tasks with high accuracy. With a broad operation bandwidth and a compact device footprint, the demonstrated multimode photonic core is very promising toward a large-scale photonic processor for high-throughput optical neural networks.

description: Rathayibacter toxicus is Gram-positive bacterium causing gummosis of forage grasses, and it produces a corynetoxin responsible for livestock poisonings in Australia. R. toxicus is a USDA APHIS-listed Select Agent, threatening seed and livestock production areas in the U.S. We therefore are developing diagnostic assays to prepare for the introduction of the pathogen into the U.S. Using proteomic data, we identified proteins expressed in R. toxicus but not in other Rathayibacter spp. Recombinant proteins corresponding to extracellular domains of candidate proteins were used to raise polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies. Antibodies were evaluated for sensitivity and specificity in immunoassays against a panel of Rathayibacter spp. and near-neighbours. Polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies exhibited high sensitivity and specificity for R. toxicus in assays with cultured bacteria. The highest-performing immunoreagents were identified for further testing with field samples collected in Australia and for eventual development of an immunoassay for bacterial detection in grass samples.

description: The aim of the master thesis was the study of the additive and multiplicative Hankel operators. These operators are induced respectively by infinite matrices with coefficients that depend only on the sum of their coordinates (Hankel matrices) and by infinite matrices with coefficients that depend only on the product of their coordinates (multiplicative Hankel matrices). In the first half of the dissertation, we present the characterizations of bounded (the Nehari theorem), compact (Hartman's theorem) and Schatten class (Peller’s theorem) additive Hankel operators. The second half begins with the study of the Hardy spaces of Dirichlet series and the Hardy spaces in infinitely many variables. Then, the multiplicative Hankel operators are defined and it turns out that the analogues of the previous characterizations fail. The thesis is completed with the construction of an explicit counterexample of a multiplicative Hankel operator that belongs in a p-Schatten class for sufficiently large p, which does not arise from bounded symbol.
description: Σκοπός της διπλωματικής διατριβής ήταν η μελέτη των προσθετικών και πολλαπλασιαστικών τελεστών Hankel. Οι τελεστές αυτοί επάγωνται από άπειρους πίνακες των οποίων οι συντελεστές εξαρτώνται μόνο από το άθροισμα των συντεταγμένων τους (πίνακες Hankel) και από άπειρους πίνακες των οποίων οι συντελεστές εξαρτώνται μόνο από το γινόμενο των συντεταγμένων τους (πολλαπλασιαστικοί πίνακες Hankel), αντίστοιχα. Στο πρώτο μισό της διπλωματικής παρουσιάζουμε τους χαρακτηρισμούς των φραγμένων (θεώρημα του Nehari), συμπαγών (θεώρημα του Hartman) και Shatten class (θεώρημα του Peller) προσθετικών τελεστών Hankel. Το δεύτερο μισό ξεκινάει με την μελέτη των χώρων Hardy σειρών Dirichlet και των χώρων Hardy άπειρης διάστασης. Στην συνέχεια ορίζονται οι πολλαπλασιαστικοί τελεστές Hankel και αποδεικνύεται ότι οι ανάλογοι των προηγούμενων χαρακτηρισμων παύουν να ισχύουν. Η εργασία ολοκληρώνεται με την κατασκευή ενός αντιπαραδείγματος πολλαπλασιαστικού τελεστή Hankel που ανήκει σε p- Shatten κλάση για p αρκούντως μεγάλο, ο οποίος δεν επάγεται από φραγμένο σύμβολο.
