description: На тлі глобальних викликів, таких як геополітична нестабільність, екологічні загрози та соціальні кризи, енергетична система України опинилася під безпрецедентним тиском, що вимагає тактичного реагування на руйнування енергетичної інфраструктури, а також довгострокових стратегічних рішень для забезпечення її стійкості та енергоефективності. Наразі зусилля держави зосереджені на оперативних заходах, зокрема відновленні пошкоджених електростанцій, підтримці децентралізованих джерел енергії та залученні іноземної допомоги для покриття сезонних потреб. Однак, попри наявні національні програми, зокрема Національний план з енергоефективності, існує низка невирішених аспектів, що потребують деталізації та адаптації до поточних умов. Зокрема, не вистачає конкретних кроків для інтеграції децентралізованих джерел у будівельні проекти, гнучких механізмів роботи під час руйнувань інфраструктури, а також стимулів для широкого використання зелених технологій у масовій забудові.Дослідження спрямоване на аналіз можливостей і викликів щодо підвищення енергоефективності українського будівельного сектору за допомогою інноваційних рішень, таких як штучний інтелект (ШІ), машинне навчання (МН), цифрові двійники та екологічні матеріали. У роботі застосовані методи контент-аналізу, порівняльного та ситуаційного аналізу, а також експертного оцінювання для визначення практичних рекомендацій як для будівельних компаній, так і для урядових структур. Результати свідчать, що найефективнішими в умовах війни є технології, які підвищують автономність та стійкість будівель, зокрема цифрові двійники та інтернет речей (IoT). Масштабніші рішення, такі як розумні енергоефективні будівлі, потребують іноземних інвестицій і можуть бути реалізовані в післявоєнний період. Впровадження ШІ та МН не лише підвищує енергоефективність, а й сприяє зниженню вуглецевого сліду, що має позитивний вплив на екологію та сприяє адаптації до змін клімату.

A Religious Pilgrimage for Retired Women: a Translation and Analysis of Jippensha Ikku's Togakushi Zenkō-ji Ōrai
Creators: name: McGlory, Johnathan
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2018

description: This thesis will consider the question of the intended audience of Jippensha Ikku’s十返舎一九, ōraimono (educational book) Togakushi Zenkō-ji ōrai 戸隠善光寺往来(1822) as preface to an annotated translation completed using free online xylographic editions. Published in the midst of rising literacy rates and a boom in religious pilgrimages, this work would have been popular among women of the late Edo era. Analysis of the ōraimono genre will reveal that this work, was intended as a practical guidebook for Zenkō-ji pilgrimages rather than for use as a classroom textbook. An experienced traveler guides a dutiful son and mother from Edo (Tōkyō) along the Nakasendō and Hokkoku Kaidō roads to Zenkō-ji Temple and Togakushi Shrine in Shinano Province (Nagano). The mother character in Togakushi Zenkō-ji ōrai, though not the direct recipient of the expert traveler’s knowlege, will be revealed as a sort of hidden protagonist central to the entire narrative. Lastly, I will attempt to settle disputed publishing information, arguing that Nishimiya Shinroku 西宮新六was the first publisher and Moriya Jihei 森屋治兵衛printed subsequent editions. Serious in tone, this work demonstrates Ikku’s versatility as a departure from his famous slapstick travelogue, Tōkaidōchū Hizakurige (Shank’s Mare).

description: Hannestad and Scherrer analysed self-interacting Warm and Hot Dark Matter and found power spectra in disagreement with previous papers. We argue that they include self-interactions in a weak-coupling approximation, as for photons after recombination. The ``tightly coupled'' approximation used for pre-recombination photons, and previous discussions of self-interacting HMD, would have been more appropriate. Their approximation generates a Boltzmann hierarchy leading to a stiff system of equations. Furthermore contamination by gauge modes could invalidate their results.

description: Evolution of primordial fluctuations in a Brans-Dicke type scalar-tensor gravity theory is comprehensively investigated. The harmonic attractor model, in which the scalar field has its harmonic effective potential in the Einstein conformal frame and the theory relaxes toward Einstein gravity with time, is considered. The evolution of adiabatic initial perturbations in flat SCDM models is examined from the radiation-dominated epoch up to the present. We discuss how the scalar-tensor gravity affects the evolution of metric and matter perturbations, mainly focusing on the observational consequences, i.e., the matter power spectrum and the power spectrum of cosmic microwave background temperature. We find that the early time deviation is characterized only by the large static gravitational constant while the late time behavior is qualitatively different from that in Einstein gravity because the time variation of the gravitational constant and its fluctuation have non-negligible effects. The attracting scalar-tensor gravity affects only small scale modes due to its attracting nature, the degree of which is far beyond the post-Newtonian deviation at the present epoch.

Watershed-Scale Modeling for Water Resource Sustainability in the Tuul River Basin of Mongolia
Creators: name: Norvanchig, Javzansuren
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2018

description: Water scarcity is a prevalent issue all over the world. Growing water abstractions combined with uncertain effects of climate increase competition for scarce water resources worldwide, especially in arid and semiarid regions. It is crucial to assess and manage available water resources to ensure its sustainability. There is a need for integrated water management at a watershed scale. Watershed models are a useful tool to support sustainable water management and investigate effects of hydrologic responses at various scales under climate change conditions and to simulate effects of the management decisions. This study aims to assess the sustainability of water resources in the Tuul River Basin in Mongolia using SWAT (Soil Water Assessment Tool) model to understand ecohydrological processes in the basin. The model is used to analyze the trends in water usage on a watershed and subwatershed basis. The water supply and demand dynamics at each sub watershed levels are analyzed to develop a sustainability index based on specific criteria of water sustainability. Sustainability index was used for better water management by targeting areas of the watershed. Using the analysis, strategies for water demand management for the Tuul River basin area were developed. I expect the results of the study with transform water resource situation in the region through better information on the dynamics of the system and will help in alleviating water issues in similar regions of the country and of the world. The model can be a useful tool to support decision makers and to simulate and analyze the effects of water management practices.

description: Hopf insulators are exotic topological states of matter outside the standard ten-fold way classification based on discrete symmetries. Its topology is captured by an integer invariant that describes the linking structures of the Hamiltonian in the three-dimensional momentum space. In this paper, we investigate the quantum dynamics of Hopf insulators across a sudden quench and show that the quench dynamics is characterized by a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ invariant $ν$ which reveals a rich interplay between quantum quench and static band topology. We construct the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ topological invariant using the loop unitary operator, and prove that $ν$ relates the pre- and post-quench Hopf invariants through $ν=(\mathcal{L}-\mathcal{L}_0)\bmod 2$. The $\mathbb{Z}_2$ nature of the dynamical invariant is in sharp contrast to the $\mathbb{Z}$ invariant for the quench dynamics of Chern insulators in two dimensions. The non-trivial dynamical topology is further attributed to the emergence of $π$-defects in the phase band of the loop unitary. These $π$-defects are generally closed curves in the momentum-time space, for example, as nodal rings carrying Hopf charge.

description: Auf eine vielversprechende Entwicklung im Agrar- und Ernährungssystem weist die stetig wachsende Zahl Solidarischer Landwirtschaftsbetriebe (SoLawi) weltweit. Diese verkörpern entgegen zunehmender Konzentrationsprozesse in der Landwirtschaft ein dezentrales, kleinräumiges und bedarfsgerechtes Wirtschaftsprinzip kleiner Einheiten, das sich der Problematik des Klimawandels und der planetaren Grenzen stellt. Jenseits anonymer Fremdversorgung und transnationaler Wertschöpfungsarchitekturen eröffnen SoLawis die Perspektive lokaler Ernährungsversorgung und weisen darüber hinaus auf die Möglichkeiten eines regionalen, nachhaltigen Wertschöpfungsraumes. Ihr Prinzip basiert auf einer transformativen Unter-nehmensform mit direkter Erzeuger*innen- und Verbraucher*innen-Kooperation als unmittelbarer, gemeinschaftsgetragener und marktferner Austauschbeziehung. Vor dem Hintergrund der transformativen Potenziale Solidarischer Landwirtschaftsbetriebe liegt dem Beitrag die Problematik ihrer betrieblichen Stabilität als einer Balance zwischen transformativen Zielen, sozialer Kohäsion und Wirtschaftlichkeit zugrunde. Die vorliegende Untersuchung konzentriert sich auf die Möglichkeiten der transdisziplinären empirischen Methode der Stable Schools (StS), um selbstorganisierte Lern- und Beratungsprozesse der SoLawi-Akteur*innen zu initiieren und zu unterstützen. StS gehen auf das Konzept der Farmer Field Schools (FFS) zur Selbstermächtigung von Bäuer*innen im globalen Süden zurück und werden im globalen Norden vor allem im Zusammenhang des Tierwohls erprobt. In einem modellhaften Setting von sieben StS-Workshops zu je maximal fünf SoLawis konnten gemeinsam themenbezogene Probleme erfasst, priorisiert und Lösungsansätze entwickelt werden. Ziel des Beitrags ist es, die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen dieses transdisziplinären Formats aufzuzeigen, um im Sinne der transformativen Wirtschaftswissenschaft eine Institutionalisierung der SoLawi-StS in der Praxis zu erreichen.

description: We consider the $N=(1,1)$ SYM theory that is obtained by dimensionally reducing SYM theory in 2+1 dimensions to 1+1 dimensions and discuss soft supersymmetry breaking. We discuss the numerical simulation of this theory using SDLCQ when either the boson or the fermion has a large mass. We compare our result to the pure adjoint fermion theory and pure adjoint boson DLCQ calculations of Klebanov, Demeterfi, and Bhanot and of Kutasov. With a large boson mass we find that it is necessary to add additional operators to the theory to obtain sensible results. When a large fermion mass is added to the theory we find that it is not necessary to add operators to obtain a sensible theory. The theory of the adjoint boson is a theory that has stringy bound states similar to the full SYM theory. We also discuss another theory of adjoint bosons with a spectrum similar to that obtained by Klebanov, Demeterfi, and Bhanot.

description: Increasing complexity in research topics poses problems to the communication of insights with stakeholders. A method to overcome this obstacle is to interactively execute modelling techniques. As the underlying simulation models are usually too complex for on spot modelling, new approaches are needed. One approach is to apply meta models based on Bayesian models that capture the behaviour of more complex models within its conditional probability tables. This paper presents the methodology to set up the necessary tables and to include third party information seamlessly. To test the resulting model, test persons were exposed a graphical user interface for the Bayesian model with the task to fix certain agronomic parameters in a situation of climate change. Their optimizing performance and feedback on the modelling experience was evaluated. Results show that the usability and comprehensibility of the model was high. Whether the models will be trusted by the stakeholders will depend on the underlying data that was fed into the model.

description: The fourth industrial revolution created the need for the development of new competences for Industrial Engineering and Management. In order to address this need an Erasmus+ project, developed by a consortium of nine universities, has been engaged in Curriculum Development of Master’s Degree Program in Industrial Engineering for Thailand Sustainable Smart Industry (MSIE4.0), co-funded by the European Commission. In the context of this project, there are 16 master level courses being developed and piloted. One of the courses is Project Management for Industry 4.0 (PM4I4). The objective of this paper is to present the evaluation of this course based on the perceptions of the enrolled students. This evaluation was based on written reflection of the course delivered at the end of the course by a total of twelve students. Most of students enrolled (10/12) provided a positive perspective about the course, considering that will contribute for their professional practice in the future and recommend it for other engineering students. Part of these students considered the project related to the development of a questionnaire of I4.0 in a company quite interesting and contributing for their formation and other students considered it less practical that they expected to. It is worthwhile to notice that most of the students really enjoyed the diversity of pedagogical experiences and teachers engaged in the process (a total of 4), and the development of transversal competences, but some of them would prefer to have contact with less teachers. Thus, as final contributions, it could be recommended to create better framework for the Industry 4.0 questionnaire project and create opportunities for the students to enroll in management of more practical projects related with that main theme.

description: Die zweite Säule wird als zentrales Instrument der GAP gesehen, um agrarbezogene Umwelt- und Klimaschutzziele der EU zu erreichen. Allerdings ist die empirische Evidenz zur Umwelt- und Klimawirksamkeit der zweiten Säule in der EU und in Deutschland lückenhaft. Ziel dieses Beitrages ist es, die Wirkungen der ländlichen Entwicklungsprogramme von Schleswig-Holstein, Niedersachsen/Bremen, Nordrhein-Westfalen und Hessen auf die Bereiche biologische Vielfalt, Wasser und Klima darzustellen. Ausgehend von den maßnahmenspezifischen Wirkungen auf Ebene der geförderten Vorhaben (Mikroebene) werden die Gesamtwirkungen der umgesetzten Maßnahmen geschätzt und vor dem Hintergrund des Basistrends und der Ziele des Green Deals beurteilt. Die Mehrzahl der geförderten Maßnahmen hat positive und sehr positive Wirkungen auf den geförderten Flächen bzw. in den geförderten Vorhaben. Die Wirkungen sind in ihrer Gesamtheit aber zu gering, um die Basistrends nennenswert zu beeinflussen, da bisher nur zehn bis 20 % der landwirtschaftlich genutzten Fläche (LF) bzw. ein geringer Anteil landwirtschaftlicher Betriebe erreicht werden. Die Umwelt- und Klimawirksamkeit der zweiten Säule könnte in einem begrenzten Maß durch eine höhere Inanspruchnahme wirksamer Maßnahmen verbessert werden. Die offensichtlichen Grenzen freiwilliger Maßnahmen der zweiten Säule führen zu dem Schluss, dass zur Erreichung der Umwelt- und Klimaziele in der Landwirtschaft ein flächendeckend wirksamer Mix aus Ordnungsrecht, Konditionalität, freiwilligen und marktbasierten Maßnahmen notwendig ist. Unabhängig von den verwendeten Instrumenten bleibt ihr koordinierter Einsatz und ihre evidenzbasierte Erfolgskontrolle eine Herausforderung für die Zukunft.

description: Die Ernährung einer wachsenden Weltbevölkerung, die daraus resultierende Ressourcenbeanspruchung und Umweltbelastung sowie die zunehmende Flächenkonkurrenz stellen die Nahrungsmittelproduktion vor großen Herausforderungen. Für eine nachhaltige, ressourcen-effiziente und anpassungsfähige Nahrungsmittelproduktion stellen modulare bio-basierte Produktionssysteme (MBBP) im urbanen Raum einen neuen Ansatz dar. Daher existieren weder eine einheitliche Rahmengesetzgebung noch etablierte Genehmigungsverfahren für solche Produktionssysteme, woraus sich erhebliche Hürden für deren Entwicklung und Implementierung ergeben könnten. Das vorliegende Paper untersucht den institutionellen Rahmen für die Entwicklung und Implementierung von MBBP im urbanen Raum auf Basis einer Literaturstudie und Interviews mit Expertinnen und Experten. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass eine Vielzahl von formellen und informellen Institutionen die Entwicklung und Implementierung von MBBP beeinflussen und damit einen entscheidenden Einfluss auf die Realisierung und Akzeptanz solcher Produktionssysteme in der Gesellschaft haben und zu Unsicherheiten innerhalb des Innovationsprozesses führen können. Der vorliegende Beitrag zeigt auf, dass es neue Lebensmittelregularien benötigt, welche die Art der Produktion, die Produkte und den Ort und den Kontext von MBBP berücksichtigt.

description: In spite of their enormous applications as alternative energy storage devices and lubricants, room temperature ionic liquids (ILs) still pose many challenges from a pure scientific view point. We develop an IL microscopic theory in terms of ionic clusters, which describes the IL behavior close to charged interfaces. The full structure factor of finite-size clusters is considered and allows us to retain fine and essential details of the system as a whole. Beside the reduction in the screening, it is shown that ionic clusters cause the charge density to oscillate near charged boundaries, with alternating ion-size thick layers, in agreement with experiments. We distinguish between short-range oscillations that persist for a few ionic layers close to the boundary, as opposed to long-range damped oscillations that hold throughout the bulk. The former can be captured by finite-size ion pairs, while the latter is associated with larger clusters with pronounced quadrupole (or higher) moment. The long-wavelength limit of our theory recovers the well-known Bazant-Storey-Kornyshev (BSK) equation in the linear regime, and elucidates the microscopic origin of the BSK phenomenological parameters.

description: We introduce a machine-learning interatomic potential for tungsten using the Gaussian Approximation Potential framework. We specifically focus on properties relevant for simulations of radiation-induced collision cascades and the damage they produce, including a realistic repulsive potential for the short-range many-body cascade dynamics and a good description of the liquid phase. Furthermore, the potential accurately reproduces surface properties and the energetics of vacancy and self-interstitial clusters, which have been long-standing deficiencies of existing potentials. The potential enables molecular dynamics simulations of radiation damage in tungsten with unprecedented accuracy.

A relativistic approach to nonlinear peculiar velocities and the Zeldovich approximation

description: We study the peculiar motion of non-relativistic matter in a fully covariant way. The exact nonlinear equations are derived and then applied to the case of pressure-free matter, moving relatively to a quasi-Newtonian Eulerian frame. Our two-frame formalism facilitates the study of the nonlinear kinematics of the matter, as the latter decouples from the background expansion and starts to ``turn around'' and collapse. Applied to second perturbative order, our equations provide a fully covariant formulation of the Zeldovich approximation, which by construction addresses the mildly nonlinear regime of structure formation. Employing a dynamical system approach, we show that, just like in the Newtonian case, the relativistic treatment also predicts that pancakes are the natural end-structures for any generic overdensity.

"First Nations First": Understanding the Status of Aboriginal Involvement in British Columbia's Community Forests
Creators: name: O'Donnell, Sean
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2018

description: In 2014, the legal landscape shifted in British Columbia with the unanimous Supreme Court decision, Tsilhqot’in Nation v. British Columbia. The case resulted in a recognition of Aboriginal title, and real and substantial Aboriginal authority over large tracts of land in the province. According to legal analysts, the most significant element is the requirement for stronger consultation with First Nations and – in many cases – consent that needs to be pursued by the province’s resource extraction industries prior to development. British Columbia’s community forest sector is unlikely to be immune to this shift. A baseline for First Nations involvement in community forestry – both in terms of breadth and depth – has not yet been established. While Tsilhqot’in is expected to dramatically impact stakeholder engagement, to what degree and in which locales this change will occur is not well known. Through a series of semi-formal interviews conducted with people in a leadership position in 19 of the province’s community forests, this paper establishes this baseline, as well as considers the potential impact of the Tsilhqot’in decision for the province’s community forest sector.

Exact frequency monitoring, however, can be prohibitively expensive; in the above example it would require as many counters as there are clients. In this paper, we propose the efficient probabilistic monitoring of common frequency properties, including the mode (i.e., the most common event) and the median of an event sequence. We define a logic to express composite frequency properties as a combination of atomic frequency properties. Our main contribution is an algorithm that, under suitable probabilistic assumptions, can be used to monitor these important frequency properties with four counters, independent of the number of different events. Our algorithm samples longer and longer subwords of an infinite event sequence. We prove the almost-sure convergence of our algorithm by generalizing ergodic theory from increasing-length prefixes to increasing-length subwords of an infinite sequence. A similar algorithm could be used to learn a connected Markov chain of a given structure from observing its outputs, to arbitrary precision, for a given confidence.

description: We show that a positive accelerating universe can be obtained simply by the dynamics of a non-abelian gauge group. It is the condensates of the chiral fields that obtain a negative power potential, below the condensation scale, and allow for a quintessence interpretation of these fields. The only free parameters in this model are $N_c$ and $N_f$ and the number of dynamically gauge singlet bilinear fields $ϕ$ generated below the condensation scale. We show that it is possible to have unification of all coupling constants, including the standard and non standard model couplings, while having an acceptable phenomenology of $ϕ$ as the cosmological constant. This is done without any fine tuning of the initial conditions. The problem of coincidence (why the universe has only recently started an accelerating period) is not solved but it is put at the same level as what the particle content of the standard model is.

description: The conventional framework for cross-sectional studies of industrial organisation focuses on the hypothesised relations among structure, conduct and performance (SCP). This paper investigates these relationships for the food and beverage manufacturing industries in a European country, i.e., Greece. 3SLS method is used to estimate the parameters of the profitability, concentration and advertising model for a sample of 38 four-digit industries in 1994. The main results, which are in line with the relevant empirical work, show that profitability is determined by advertising, which, in tum, is affected by both profitability and concentration, while the latter is determined by economies of scale. © 1998 Elsevier Science B.

description: We recall first the analytic theory of the Hilbert modular varieties of level $Γ_1(\mathfrak{c},\mathfrak{n})$ and their compactifications. We construct arithmetic toroidal compactifications of the universal Hilbert-Blumenthal abelian variety (and of its fiber products), over the compactifications of the Hilbert modular variety constructed by the first author. We give several applications related to Hodge theory, Hilbert-Jacobi modular forms and Hilbert modular forms of half-integer weight.

description: Current European Union legislation offers public authorities to grant a Right of First Refusal (RFR) in farmland auctions with public tenders in favour of the current tenant. That is, tenants can purchase the auctioned lot by matching the highest bid. Granting this right secures tenants to buy the land they use; however, it may deter other potential buyers’ auction participation and incentivise bidders to adjust their strategies. An RFR for tenants is thus hypothesised to decrease the number of bidders and lower sales prices. Empirical evidence seems lacking thus far and in this paper, we target to closing this gap by analysing a tenants’ RFR effect on the number of bidders and winning bids in first-price privatization auctions in eastern Germany. Using around 4,000 land auction results in one German Federal State over 2007–2018 by two agencies that differ in granting the RFR to tenants, we combine non-parametric nearest neighbour matching based on the Mahalanobis distance with parametric post-matching regressions. Our results indicate that the RFR reduces competition by an average of 9.3% bidders per auction and lowers the prices paid in land auctions by 16.4 %.

description: Due to the Avian Influenza outbreak in Europe, Ghana has imposed an import ban on some European countries. This paper analyses the potential effects of this partial ban on Ghanaian chicken producers and agricultural trade. Due to the growing support for a total ban on poultry imports by various value chain actors, we also analyze the impact of a complete ban on Ghana's poultry imports. We apply an integrated method covering General Equilibrium and typical farm analysis. Our findings show that the partial ban has a lower governmental cost compared with the total ban. Nevertheless, the effect of a total ban on domestic producers is more significant. Moreover, a total import ban increases production mainly for the large-scale integrated farms in Ghana.

description: Competences assessment transcends disciplinary areas and its research has increased worldwide. However, research in competence assessment in the engineering universe is something relatively new, concerning other disciplinary areas such as medicine and education. Understanding the state of art in areas where studies on competence assessment are more developed is an important step for transferring that knowledge to Engineering. This article aims to analyze the competences
assessment state of art and to understand the actors involved in assessment methods (who is the assessor and who is being assessed), when and how the assessment process occurs, in medicine context, education, and engineering areas. The chosen approach was to carry out a literature review study based on a search using the Elsevier Scopus indexing service, in the timeframe 2000 to 2019. Using the search-terms "competences evaluation", "competencies evaluation", "competencies assessment" or "competences assessment", applied to title, abstract and keywords, was possible to identify 1,984 periodical documents, which 1,563 documents were of interest to the study, and related to Medicine, Education or Engineering areas.
As a selection factor, the ten (10) most cited articles in each area were analyzed. Based on the study, the authors concluded the methods of assessing competences in medicine and education field may be used to support the Engineering area to develop reliable and valid methods for assessing competences. Besides, it was possible to identify that engineering competence assessment methods presented a focused computers simulators use. However, for medicine and education, the methods focus was evidenced in Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs), based on scenarios.
