description: This study aims to determine the degree of knowledge and adherence of family farmers of rural settlement Chapadinha, in Sobradinho (DF), to organic production regulations established in Brazil. The research methodology used included open interviews that intended to assess the perceptions and knowledge of the producers on the most important regulations for organic production in Brazil: Law 10831/2003, Decree 6323/2007 and the Normative Instruction 46/2011; these standards had been integrated into three units of analysis: guidelines of systems and production, marketing processes and control mechanisms. The paper points out that the documentation is the biggest bottleneck in smallholder certification process, as these requirements are complex, and there is less training related to the proper understanding of these documents. In relation to the marketing process and control mechanisms it was identified that the producers have a degree of incomplete knowledge related to some of the rules of the parameters related to these aspects, damaging time for certification, requiring greater technical guidance and monitoring.

subject: output distance function

description: Dietary habits of Chinese people have transformed drastically over the past few decades, due to rapid economic growth, urbanization, and globalization. In order to maximize agricultural income, farmers have to diversify their product from staples towards food groups with positive income elasticities of demand, such as vegetables and fruits. This paper examines the economic rationale of the diversification, using an output distance function approach. The empirical results show that, as compared to vegetables and fruits, grains have been produced excessively, since the Producer Subsidy Program was implemented in 2004. In addition, the Program has a negative effect on technical efficiency. Our empirical findings suggest that China's policy goal of grain self-sufficiency is to the detriment of agricultural production in terms of technical and allocative efficiencies.

subject: F31

description: In the present survey, the author sets forth and comments on the figures and respective index-numbers relating to Italian foreign trade from 1938 down to the end of 1949. Special attention is called to the distribution of imports and exports by monetary areas and political zones, and in relation to the relative importance of the principal countries dealt with. The comparison drawn between the period from January 1 to September 30, 1949, with the corresponding periods of 1948 and 1938, allows the author to note the growing centralisation of Italian trade in the European Continent, a trend that appears to have been consolidated since the currency devaluations of September 1949. The note closes with a critical reference to the policy of financing exports and its actual weight. JEL: F31

description: The sensitivity of imaging spectroscopy to haemoglobin derivatives makes it a promising tool for detecting blood. However, due to complexity and high dimensionality of hyperspectral images, the development of hyperspectral blood detection algorithms is challenging. To facilitate their development, we present a new hyperspectral blood detection dataset. This dataset, published in accordance to open access mandate, consist of multiple detection scenarios with varying levels of complexity. It allows to test the performance of Machine Learning methods in relation to different acquisition environments, types of background, age of blood and presence of other blood-like substances. We explored the dataset with blood detection experiments. We used hyperspectral target detection algorithm based on the well-known Matched Filter detector. Our results and their discussion highlight the challenges of blood detection in hyperspectral data and form a reference for further works.

description: The study discusses and severely criticises the economic policy introduced in Western Germany in the middle of 1948 by the monetary reform and the return to a price mechanism. It is contended that the “features of the German position are not the consequences of the special problems confined to that country. They have a general bearing on the question of decontrol in all impoverished countries dependent on trade with an unstable world economic system. On the contrary, the German ‘experiment’ would have resulted in an open vicious inflation and breakdown in, e.g., Britain and the Scandinavian countries because the Trade Unions in those countries would not have accepted this harsh reduction of their standard of life in favour of a tiny minority; and their resistance would have led to a monetary collapse.

description: We analyzed the factors yielding inconvenience and laboriousness involved in shopping for food, using the data obtained by a consciousness survey. Spatial conditions such as time and distance, and means of transportation have the greatest influence on the inconvenience and laboriousness involved in shopping for food. Among other things, a long journey to a grocery store is quite troublesome for elderly people. Travel by car greatly reduces the inconvenience and hassle. In general, elderly people experience much more hassle than younger people. These results may help statistically identify the group of people needing countermeasures. However, regional differences must be kept in mind. In a suburban housing complex of a big city, for example, families with small children too might find it troublesome to shop for food.
Fiscal policy and Italy’s economic development
Creators: name: STEVE, S.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Italy, fiscal policy, economic development, fiscal theory, national income
subject: E62, O23

description: The article links up with the more recent literature in the field of fiscal theory; the relations between fiscal policy and the size of national income. In the framework of this theoretical trend, the author considers the part that should be played by an active fiscal policy for promoting the development of Italian economy, and more especially the recovery of the depressed and backward areas of the South. In this connection, he stresses a structural feature of the Italian economy, where we find side by side highly industrialised regions, whose problems are similar to those of mature economies, and extensive backward and depressed areas. The author observes that while this situation does not allow the application of policies elaborated for mature economies, neither does it present the difficulties met with in countries in the early stages of industrialisation, as the different aspects of Italian economy might find profitable opportunities for cooperation and integration in a nation-wide programme of economic development.

description: Beginning in 1993, Florida's citrus has been invaded by citrus leafminer (Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton), brown citrus aphid (Toxoptera citricida Kirkaldy, and the Asian citrus psylla (Diaphorina citri Kuwayarna. The source(s) of these pests remain unknown but other Caribbean countries also suffered invasions. Brown citrus aphid and Asian citrus psylla are vectors of citrus tristeza virus and greening disease, respectively, while citrus leafminer damage provides openings for invasion of the canker pathogen into the foliage. All three were suitable candidates for classical biological control and Dr. Ru Nguyen (Division of Plant Industry, Gainesville, FL) and l collaborated on importing, evaluating, rearing and releasing parasitoids between 1993 and the present. Two parasitoids (Ageniaspis citricola and Cirrospilus quadristriatus) of the citrus leafminer were imported from Australia, Thailand and Taiwan. Both parasitoids established in Florida, and A. citricola has become dominant. Ageniaspis citricola has been supplied to colleagues in the Bahamas, Bermuda, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Honduras, and several other countries from our rearing program. In all cases, A. citricola was provided free, along with information on rearing methods, as well as the risk assessment that we developed prior to obtaining release permits from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. Such information assisted the recipients in obtaining local release permits, thus reducing the costs of importation and release. Two parasitoids were imported for control of the Asian citrus psylla: Tamarixia radiata Waterston and Diaphorencyrtus aligarhensis (Shafee, Alam & Agarwal) through the kind assistance of colleagues in Taiwan. Again, we made both parasitoids available to countries in the Caribbean, along with rearing methods and our risk assessment data. Finally, the parasitoid Lipolexis scutellaris was imported from Guam for a classical biological control program directed against the brown citrus aphid. Classical biological control historically has had an ethos that fostered cooperation, interconnections, and sharing of resources and knowledge. This ethos must be maintained if classical biological control is to be sustained as a viable pest management tactic. We must share information and resources in order to win our struggle to manage invasive pests.
Corrections to Yukawa couplings from higher dimensional operators in a natural SUSY $\mathsf{SO(10)}$ and HL-LHC implications

description: We consider a class of unified models based on the gauge group $\mathsf{SO(10)}$ which with appropriate choice of Higgs representations generate in a natural way a pair of light Higgs doublets needed to accomplish electroweak symmetry breaking. In this class of models higher dimensional operators of the form matter-matter-Higgs-Higgs in the superpotential after spontaneous breaking of the GUT symmetry generate contributions to Yukawa couplings which are comparable to the ones from cubic interactions. Specifically we consider an $\mathsf{SO(10)}$ model with a sector consisting of $\mathsf{126+\overline{126} + 210}$ of heavy Higgs which breaks the GUT symmetry down to the standard model gauge group and a sector consisting of $2\times \mathsf{10+120}$ of light Higgs fields. In this model we compute the corrections from the quartic interactions to the Yukawa couplings for the top and the bottom quarks and for the tau lepton. It is then shown that inclusion of these corrections to the GUT scale Yukawas allows for consistency of the top, bottom and tau masses with experiment for low $\tanβ$ with a value as low as $\tanβ$ of 5$-$10. We compute the sparticle spectrum for a set of benchmarks and find that satisfaction of the relic density is achieved via a compressed spectrum and coannihilation and three sets of coannihilations appear: chargino-neutralino, stop-neutralino and stau-neutralino. We investigate the chargino-neutralino coannihilation in detail for the possibility of observation of the light chargino at the high luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) and at the high energy LHC (HE-LHC) which is a possible future 27 TeV hadron collider. It is shown that all benchmark models but one can be discovered at HL-LHC and all would be discoverable at HE-LHC. The ones discoverable at both machines require a much shorter time scale and a lower integrated luminosity at HE-LHC.

description: There are several economically important mite species associated with mango in Puerto Rico. Published reports have associated some of these mites with the mango malformation syndrome (MMS). We give details on a two-year study on the relationship between MMS and mites present in mango nurseries. Common phytophagous mites found in our weekly surveys were the broad mite (Polygophagotarsonemus latus), the mango bud mite (Aceria (=Eriophyes) mangiferae), and Neocalacarus mangiferae, which is a new record for the Caribbean. This mite was described from India in 1966, and reported in Brazil (2000) and Australia (2003). Little is known on the bionomics of this mite. After 26 weeks of observation, we could not associate N. mangiferae with any visible damage to seedlings, as compared to a sprayed control group. This finding may confirm its reported status as a leaf vagrant. Experimental infestations with broad mites (P. latus) showed extensive damage to new leaves, and were an important source of leaf deformation and defoliation, as compared to control seedlings. Mango bud mites caused bud necrosis and loss of seedling apical dominance. We could not clearly associate broad mites with typical MMS symptoms.

description: The article is not a further description of the obvious reasons for which European Union is a necessary foundation for the salvation of the Old Continent. Leaving on one side the easy field of wishful anticipations, the author examines the historical problems involved in the realisation of this proposed Union and illustrates fully its serious and complex nature, viewed from the economic and political standpoints. The position taken up is far from being a negative one, but it is critical of the too hasty and doctrinaire approaches made, even in some official circles, to the consideration of a matter that requires a thorough understanding of the risks, the losses, the uncertainties, and the renunciations it would involve, and therefore calls for an extremely cautious and slow action.

description: The article is a review of three important volumes published in the last few years by the American Economic Association. The author gives account of the frequently controversial reactions aroused, more specifically by one of the volumes, “A Survey of Contemporary Economics”. Summarising the views of some eminent writers (Stigler, Robertson) on the development of economic science in the last decades, the author considers that some of the remarks expressed are unduly pessimistic and seem to him unjustified by the present state of the science. In his opinion, the volumes reviewed make an important contribution to the understanding of contemporary economics and they point to the lines along which it is evolving, in a direction which coordinates theoretical analysis with practical testing.

description: Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is a major export crop for St Vincent and the Grenadines, with 1,764 metric tonnes (valued at US$783,459.00) exported between 2004 and 2005. However, the production of sweet potato is severely affected by species of the sweet potato grub (Phyllophaga spp.) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) which is the major pest of economic importance affecting the crop in St Vincent and the Grenadines. Damage to tubers caused by this pest is estimated to be as high as seventy percent of crop yields. Experiments were conducted at the CARDI Field Station (St Vincent and the Grenadines) using three sweet potato export varieties (Black Vine, Big Red and Lover's Name) to test the efficacy of three chemicals - Neem-X® (azadirachtin), Actara® (thiamethoxam) and Pirate® (chlorfenapyr)- in suppressing the pest population and resultant tuber damage. Treatments were allocated in a complete randomized block design and the insecticides were applied to the soil before and at early planting at the manufacturers' recommended rates. Nine treatments were evaluated and each was replicated three times over two planting seasons (2003 - 2004). Results obtained showed that plots treated with Actara® produced tubers with lower damage than the Neem-X®- and Pirate®-treated plots. These results are very promising as the use of these chemicals can be included as one component in an integrated management programme of the sweet potato grub.

description: The sorption of organic compounds to soil is mainly through organic matter components. The organic matter amount and type depends on soil properties such as pH, conductivity, particle size and calcium carbonate content. Therefore, organic pesticide movement-through soil strongly depends on the genesis of organic matter. Organic matter has fractions such as humic acid (HA) and fluvic acid (FA), fats and oils. For this study three tropical soils were chosen, Aguilita, Catano and Tiburones. Some of their organic matter properties, such as total acidity, UV-Vis and IR spectra were related to the sorption coefficient (Koc) of carbofuran and metolachlor. Sorption coefficients in Aguilita, Catano and Tiburones were between 34 and 1,181 ml/g for carbofuran and between 90 and 298 ml/g for metolachlor. Solutions of 100 ug/ml HAs from Aguilita, Catano, and Tiburones dissolved in 0.05N NaHC03 of pH 8.1 had E4/E6 absorption values of 5.5, 4.9 and 3.2, respectively; and those from FA in 2N HCl had values of 10.0, 6.5 and 10.4, respectively. These values suggest a highly aromatic content for HA from Tiburones (E4/E6 ~3) and mainly aliphatic for Aguilita soil. Fulvic acids from Aguilita and Tiburones soils had highly aliphatic character (E4/E6 > 8) whereas that of Catano was intermediate. Data suggest that differences in metolachlor and carbofuran Koc values for the above mentioned soils are mainly due to differences in HA and FA properties of the soils.
A coupled thermal - fluid flow model of the horizontal direct chill casting process for T-ingot

description: In recent years, Horizontal Direct Chill (HDC) casting has gained popularity as a method for processing primary aluminum. In an attempt to further develop the knowledge and understanding necessary to enhance HDC casting capabilities in industry and improve its economic viability, a coupled thermal-fluid flow model of T-ingot casting has been developed. The model, developed using the commercial computational fluid dynamics software, ANSYS CFX-10.0, predicts the temperature and flow fields which occur during aluminum T-ingot HDC casting under steady-state operational conditions. Buoyancy, turbulence, solidification effects including flow damping and latent heat release, and boundary conditions were accounted for using methods that represent the physics occurring in the industrial process. Predictions for HDC T-ingot casting of pure and foundry (alloy A356) aluminum were compared to measurements made on industrially cast ingots. The measurements conducted included: drained sump profiles (6 in total), secondary dendrite arm spacings (SDAS), and location of macrostructure features. In all cases, the predictions matched the measurements well, providing confidence in the model and the methodology used. Throughout development of the model, sensitivity to modelling methodology as well as process and numerical parameters were explored. To simplify comparison, an extensive analysis was conducted by varying single features of a baseline model to show the importance of the modelling methodologies and process parameters.

description: A beneficial nematode, Steinemema scapterisci (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae), has been researched at the University of Florida and is now marketed as a biopesticide. Its primary target is the mole cricket, Scapteriscus vicinus Scudder (Orthoptera: Gryllotalpidae), which has been a pest in Florida for about 100 years. The nematode survives so well in Florida's sandy, low-organic soils that it serves as a classical biological control agent to provide permanent suppression of pest mole cricket populations in places to which it has spread. In Puerto Rico and islands of the Lesser Antilles, where there is a much wider range of soils, the primary mole cricket pest is Scapteriscus didactylus (Latreille). Our research evaluates the use of the nematode to control Scapteriscus didactylus. Our earlier results in the field showed establishment and survival for up to seven months in a sandy loam with mole crickets, but no establishment in a highly organic sandy soil with mole crickets. A laboratory bioassay in sterilized sand showed 100% survival of controls, but up to 100% mortality of mole crickets within 168 h dependent upon number of nematodes applied (dose or 'rate'). Laboratory survival of nematodes was poorer in non-sterilized soils than in sterilized soils.
Economy and sociology

Subjects: subject: Economics and sociology, Pareto, scientific enquiry, bourgeois society, organisation, integral economics
subject: A14, B31, Z13

description: The article analyses the reciprocal relations between Economics and Sociology. The author begins with Pareto’s position on general Sociology, which entails a fairly strict division between the two fields of scientific enquiry, calling attention to the new points of view that make it advisable to modify this approach. On this connection, the author first emphasises the distinction between that economic life, often held to be the normal ‘material’ of economic science and which is only the expression of bourgeois economic organisation, and the economic life of other organisations based on fundamentally different conditions. Secondly, he notes the survival of these other forms of organisation in bourgeois society - which therefore is considered as an agglomeration of dissimilar elements. The author then makes a comprehensive study of the scanty observations gathered in a field other than that of the bourgeois organisation. In his opinion this material should be elaborated and should find its place in the analytical economic schemata forming part of a discipline called “Integral Economics”. On the other hand, the task of “Economic Sociology” is to point out the regularities of the economic conduct of individuals and of the economic structure of social groups as they occur in real life.

Wage rates, credit expansion and employment

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Keynes, unemployment, monetary policy, fiscal policy, aggregate demand, full employment, post-Keynesian, prices, wage-rates, credit
subject: E12, E24, E31, E51

description: The article aims at dispelling a widespread misconception, the notion, propagated by popularisers of the views of Keynes, that all cases of unemployment can be successfully remedied by a monetary and fiscal policy aimed at raising the volume of aggregate demand. Secondly, it attempts to restate the conditions that are necessary if such a policy is to succeed in bringing about full employment. The analysis made by the authors proceeds by reconstructing the genuine position taken by Keynes and by the examination of the more significant post-Keynesian developments on the importance of the relative movements of prices and wage-rates for the success of a policy for reabsorbing unemployment, based on the expansion of credit and therefore of total demand. Following in the wake of the classical tradition and of Keynes himself, the authors confirm the importance of the price-wage relationship, making the necessary qualifications and reservations suggested by the growing refinement of economic research and by the evolution of real facts.

description: From January to March 2006, powdery mildew was observed in onion (Allium cepa L.) foliage (cv. Mercedes) grown at the University of Puerto Rico-Agricultural Experiment Station in Juana Diaz, P.R. Climatic conditions prevailing during this period were low precipitation, temperatures ranging from 20 to 31 °C, and low relative humidity. First symptoms appeared 75 days after sowing. Leaves showed white to gray powdery patches that coalesce affecting the entire area. Symptoms were observed on young and mature leaves. A visual scale was used to estimate disease severity in the field ranging from 1 to 5 (1 = 0%, 2 = 1-25%, 3 = 26-50%, 4 = 51-75% and 5 = 75-100% of plants affected). Over all, plant damage observed in the field ranged from 26 to 50%. Leaf samples were collected and examined under the microscope. Powdery growth on the leaf consisted entirely of conidia and conidiophores singly or in groups (156 χ 10 pm), that emerged through the stomata. Two different types of conidia were observed, a primary lanceolate conidia (48 χ 10 pm) and secondary cylindrical conidia (52 χ 15 pm). On the basis of morphological characteristics (i.e., conidiophore and conidia) the pathogenic fungus was identified as Leveillula taurica (Lev.) (teleomorph of Oidiopsis sicula). The sexual stage of the fungus was never observed in the field. To our knowledge, this is the first report of powdery mildew of onion caused by L. taurica in Puerto Rico.
Bottomonia production and polarization in the NRQCD with $k_T$-factorization. II: $Υ(2S)$ and $χ_b(2P)$ mesons

description: The $Υ(2S)$ production and polarization at high energies is studied in the framework of $k_T$-factorization approach. Our consideration is based on the non-relativistic QCD formalism for bound states formation and off-shell production amplitudes for hard partonic subprocesses. The direct production mechanism, feed-down contributions from radiative $χ_b(3P)$ and $χ_b(2P)$ decays and contributions from $Υ(3S)$ decays are taken into account. The transverse momentum dependent gluon densities in a proton were derived from the Ciafaloni-Catani-Fiorani-Marchesini evolution equation as well as from the Kimber-Martin-Ryskin prescription. Treating the non-perturbative color octet transitions in terms of the mulitpole radiation theory, we extract the corresponding non-perturbative matrix elements for $Υ(2S)$ and $χ_b(2P)$ mesons from a combined fit to $Υ(2S)$ transverse momenta distributions measured by the CMS and ATLAS Collaborations at the LHC energies $\sqrt s = 7$ and $13$ TeV and from the relative production rate $R^{χ_b(2P)}_{Υ(2S)}$ measured by the LHCb Collaboration at $\sqrt s = 7$ and $8$ TeV. Then we apply the extracted values to investigate the polarization parameters $λ_θ$, $λ_ϕ$ and $λ_{θϕ}$, which determine the $Υ(2S)$ spin density matrix. Our predictions have a good agreement with the currently available data within the theoretical and experimental uncertainties.

Italian agriculture in the framework of the new customs tariff
Creators: name: ALBERTARIO, P.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review

Subjects: subject: Italy, customs tariff, 1950, agricultural products, trade, protectionism, duties
subject: F13, Q17

description: In drafting the new Italian Customs Tariff, enacted in July 1950, there can be no doubt that - in the case of agricultural products - reasoned principles of a liberal trend have replaced the former autarkic protectionism, although the inescapable realities and transitional contingencies of the Italian economy have called for limitations of a free trade approach. The present article describes both the steps thus made in reducing the duties as compared to the peaks attained in the thirties, and the meaning and objectives of the protection granted to some branches of agricultural production, operated at higher than international costs, but fundamental for the stability of the Italian social and economic structure. In this regard, wheat farming, sugar-beet crops, olive-oil, and the production of meat and animal fats are specifically considered and their significance and problems outlined. JEL: F13, Q17

The railway problem in Italy
Creators: name: DELLA PORTA, G.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Italy, railway, financial situation, price, competition, motor-vehicles
subject: L62, L92, R41

description: In Italy as elsewhere railway-traffic has been seriously affected in recent years by motor-vehicle competition and the financial position of the State Railways Administration has decisively worsened. The present article evaluates this situation in the aftermath of the changes that have taken place in these recent years of post-war reconstruction. The author considers that the railways cannot secure a balanced financial situation by the mere introduction of technical and administrative improvements and price manipulation. On the other hand he calls attention to the drawbacks and dangers of a throat-cut competition; and among the various alternative policies he advocates the adoption of measures for the coordination of rail and road services.

description: Este artículo presenta el análisis de folletos informativos sobre lactancia materna dirigidos a mujeres. Se presentan algunos discursos sobre representaciones de la lactancia y de las mujeres que lactan, así como concepciones que de ellas tienen los profesionales de la salud que los produjeron. Se realizó un estudio mixto de tipo secuencial explicativo en dos fases, una cuantitativa centrada en análisis de contenido y otra cualitativa basada en un análisis temático. Se identificaron como resultados tres discursos biomédicos alrededor de la lactancia materna que se examinaron a la luz de los conocimientos e ignorancia que producen tanto en las mujeres lactantes (público) como en los profesionales de la salud (productores): 1. Lactancia natural y todas las mujeres pueden lactar, 2. Lactancia como beneficios para el bebé y la madre, y 3. Necesidad de información y apoyo de expertos para una lactancia exitosa. Se concluye que la producción de estos materiales está enmarcada en una perspectiva de divulgación científica deficitaria en la que los expertos producen conocimientos que son transmitidos al resto de la sociedad, mientras que los legos son simples receptores irreflexivos y no cuentan con la capacidad de retarlos o participar en sus procesos de producción. Así, estos discursos biomédicos comunican formas de conocimiento específico acompañadas de miradas particulares sobre la ignorancia alrededor de la lactancia materna.
