description: The legitimacy of certification for agricultural products depends on the belief that product labelling can provide information and guarantee the quality that consumers want. The neoclassic paradigm actually suggests that the problem of quality is to do with simple asymmetric information between economic agents. In our paper, however, we consider that the notion of quality is by no means objective: practices required (to obtain the given quality) and the credibility and legitimacy of quality control used in the different guarantee systems (to ensure standard compliance), constitute an institutionalised compromising device. This situation results from the balance of power and beliefs that exists between the organisations concerned. In this paper, we compare two different organisational mechanisms when examining the agricultural product standards designed to improve sustainable development: (i) the third party certification (TPC) is a mechanism that most public bodies recognise as being legitimate for the certification of sustainability standards; and (ii) the alternative mechanism of participatory guarantee systems (PGS), which is struggling to gain recognition from public authorities. Finally, we argue that the effectiveness of proximity and social control for guaranteeing sustainability standards in PGS seems just as credible and legitimate as the effectiveness of the independence and neutrality claimed by the TPC in the framework of international standards. In fact, TPC and PGS are alternative and complementary systems, rather than competitive systems, for implementing different sustainability standards.

description: Policy learning can be used to extract individualized treatment regimes from observational data in healthcare, civics, e-commerce, and beyond. One big hurdle to policy learning is a commonplace lack of overlap in the data for different actions, which can lead to unwieldy policy evaluation and poorly performing learned policies. We study a solution to this problem based on retargeting, that is, changing the population on which policies are optimized. We first argue that at the population level, retargeting may induce little to no bias. We then characterize the optimal reference policy and retargeting weights in both binary-action and multi-action settings. We do this in terms of the asymptotic efficient estimation variance of the new learning objective. We further consider weights that additionally control for potential bias due to retargeting. Extensive empirical results in a simulation study and a case study of personalized job counseling demonstrate that retargeting is a fairly easy way to significantly improve any policy learning procedure applied to observational data.

description: Current ice hockey helmets have successfully decreased the incidence of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in the sport; however, concussions are still a major issue (Goodman, D., Gaetz, M., and Meichenbaum, D., 2001). This may be due to helmets not being tested using rotational impacts and rotational measures which can be reflective of concussive impacts (CSA Z262.1-15). Meehan (MSc Thesis, 2019) proposed rotation dominant impacts that reflect concussive events experienced in ice hockey as a potential helmet testing protocol to improve the protective capacity of ice hockey helmets for concussion. The researchers reported a high compliance pneumatic ram test was the test most representative of shoulder to head concussive impacts in professional ice hockey however, it was not as repeatable as the medium compliance pneumatic ram test. For head impacts from falling into the boards, the 45° Anvil Drop test was closest to the mean 44° angle of impact for head to board events in professional ice hockey. These tests haven't been observed using multiple helmet designs to investigate their ability to distinguish between helmet performance. The objectives of this thesis were to 1) determine if the Medium and High Compliance Pneumatic Ram tests and the 45° Anvil Drop test produce different magnitudes of dynamic response and brain tissue strain and 2) determine if the tests have the ability to distinguish changes in helmet design. The Medium Compliance Pneumatic Ram test produced the highest magnitudes of dynamic head response and strain followed by the 45° Anvil Drop and then the High Compliance Pneumatic Ram test. When the helmet designs in each test were compared, the 45° Anvil Drop test reported the most conditions (21) where there were significant differences in the dependent variables between helmets. The Medium Compliance Pneumatic Ram test reported 10 conditions with significant differences detected and the High Compliance Pneumatic Ram test reported 8 conditions with significant differences between helmets. The most sensitive test protocol was the 45° Anvil Drop followed by the Medium Compliance then High Compliance Pneumatic Ram tests. The results showed that all of the tests produced different levels of rotational acceleration and MPS, which supports separate test protocols in terms of helmet testing standards. Information from this thesis can be used by standards organization to guide the development of ice hockey helmet testing standards.

description: This paper presents a novel machine-hearing system that exploits deep neural networks (DNNs) and head movements for robust binaural localisation of multiple sources in reverberant environments. DNNs are used to learn the relationship between the source azimuth and binaural cues, consisting of the complete cross-correlation function (CCF) and interaural level differences (ILDs). In contrast to many previous binaural hearing systems, the proposed approach is not restricted to localisation of sound sources in the frontal hemifield. Due to the similarity of binaural cues in the frontal and rear hemifields, front-back confusions often occur. To address this, a head movement strategy is incorporated in the localisation model to help reduce the front-back errors. The proposed DNN system is compared to a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) based system that employs interaural time differences (ITDs) and ILDs as localisation features. Our experiments show that the DNN is able to exploit information in the CCF that is not available in the ITD cue, which together with head movements substantially improves localisation accuracies under challenging acoustic scenarios in which multiple talkers and room reverberation are present.

description: This article aims at analyzing community consumption as a practice model which will create a new model in the
understanding of the consumption to the consumptive pattern. In its development, community consumption pattern
brings about a shift because of technology and modern facility availability. An approach used to write this report is
library research, while the analysis technique applied is a content analysis aiming at getting a valid inference and can
be reobserved based on is context. The presence of technology as a representation of facility in the fulfillment of
needs are able to encourage the creation of social change, like the spreading of consumerist culture, the change of
fashion and lifestyle mode where this condition is institutionalized in a community culture structure so that
consuming goods do not only depend on the needs logic but also cover to someone’s emotional substance. That
situation systematically shifts traditional values and directs to the global behavior. Consumption towards the
construction of consumptive society becomes a conceptual and historical illustration to understand the consumption
shifting to the consumptive practice.

description: Changes in the beekeeping sector in Poland in the years 2010 to 2015 with particular focus on regional differences are discussed. The situation of amateur and professional beekeepers in terms of their socioeconomic statuses with regard to number of bee colonies, productivity, number of hives per 1 km sq., losses in the bee colonies is presented. The main sources of information, including the Central Statistical Office (CSO), FAOSTAT 2016, the reports and studies of S. Pieniążek Research Institute of Pomology and Floriculture in Skierniewice Division of Apiculture in Puławy, the materials of the Polish Association of Beekeepers. The comparative and descriptive methods have been applied in the analysis of the research problem. The article shows who is the beekeepers, how is the situation in the number and structure of bee colonies by province, inform about average size of an apiary, and density of honeybee colonies (number of colonies per 2 km sq.). The fragmentation of apiaries in Poland is a factor that has direct impact on the low profitability of production, while the associated high costs, small scale of production, and lack of investment capital, significantly reduce the economic results and hinder further development.

description: The lack of superposition of different position states or the emergence of classicality in macroscopic systems have been a puzzle for decades. Classicality exists in every measuring apparatus, and is the key for understanding what can be measured in quantum theory. Different theories have been proposed, including decoherence, einselection and the spontaneous wave-function collapse, with no consensus reached up to now. In this paper, we propose a stochastic dynamics for the wave-function in an open system (e.g. the measuring apparatus) that interacts with its environment. The trajectory of wave-function is random with a well-defined probability distribution. We show that the stochastic evolution results in the wave-function collapse and the Born's rule for specific system-environment interactions. While it reproduces the unitary evolution governed by the Schrödinger equation when the interaction vanishes. Our results suggest that it is the way of system interacting with environment that determines whether quantum superposition dominates or classicality emerges.

description: As part of its ongoing efforts to meet the increased spectrum demand, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has recently opened up 150 MHz in the 3.5 GHz band for shared wireless broadband use. Access and operations in this band, aka Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS), will be managed by a dynamic spectrum access system (SAS) to enable seamless spectrum sharing between secondary users (SUs) and incumbent users. Despite its benefits, SAS's design requirements, as set by FCC, present privacy risks to SUs, merely because SUs are required to share sensitive operational information (e.g., location, identity, spectrum usage) with SAS to be able to learn about spectrum availability in their vicinity. In this paper, we propose TrustSAS , a trustworthy framework for SAS that synergizes state-of-the-art cryptographic techniques with blockchain technology in an innovative way to address these privacy issues while complying with FCC's regulatory design requirements. We analyze the security of our framework and evaluate its performance through analysis, simulation and experimentation. We show that TrustSAS can offer high security guarantees with reasonable overhead, making it an ideal solution for addressing SUs' privacy issues in an operational SAS environment.

description: As part of the Spaghetti Project Survey (SPS) we have detected a concentration of giant stars well above expectations for a smooth halo model. The position (l~350, b~50) and distance (~50 kpc) of this concentration match those of the Northern over-density detected by SDSS (Yanny et al. 2000, Ivezic et al. 2000). We find additional evidence for structure at ~80 kpc in the same direction. We present radial velocities for many of these stars, including the first published results from the 6.5m Magellan telescope. The radial velocities for stars in these structures are in excellent agreement with models of the dynamical evolution of the Sgr dwarf tidal debris, whose center is 60 degrees away. The metallicity of stars in these streams is lower than that of the main body of the Sgr dwarf, which may indicate a radial metallicity gradient prior to disruption.

description: Despite there being clear evidence for top-down (e.g., attentional) effects in biological spatial hearing, relatively few machine hearing systems exploit top-down model-based knowledge in sound localisation. This paper addresses this issue by proposing a novel framework for binaural sound localisation that combines model-based information about the spectral characteristics of sound sources and deep neural networks (DNNs). A target source model and a background source model are first estimated during a training phase using spectral features extracted from sound signals in isolation. When the identity of the background source is not available, a universal background model can be used. During testing, the source models are used jointly to explain the mixed observations and improve the localisation process by selectively weighting source azimuth posteriors output by a DNN-based localisation system. To address the possible mismatch between training and testing, a model adaptation process is further employed on-the-fly during testing, which adapts the background model parameters directly from the noisy observations in an iterative manner. The proposed system therefore combines model-based and data-driven information flow within a single computational framework. The evaluation task involved localisation of a target speech source in the presence of an interfering source and room reverberation. Our experiments show that by exploiting model-based information in this way, sound localisation performance can be improved substantially under various noisy and reverberant conditions.

description: The existence of women in the customary structure often has a position as a complement of males so that their existence is limited by the stigma and norms that apply to the society. The existence of women in customs in Buru Island became an idea of how women are placed on the social economic space based on the inteprestation of men as customary rulers. This research is a qualitative study aimed at describing the existence of women in the customs of Buru Island. The research location focuses on three indigenous villages namely Kayeli village, Kubalahin and Wasi with consideration of the existence and the existence of adat that is still preserved. The number of informant that will be interviewed as many as 30 people taken in purposive. The analytical techniques used to follow the
concepts given by Miles and Huberman include data reduction, data presentation and withdrawal of conclusions. The results showed that the distinction between men and women occurred through the process of socialization, strengthening and the construction of socio-cultural,
even through the power of tradition. Women with all abilities and limitations only placed on complementary positions on customary structures ruled by men even though women are given certain status and awards but remain in male domination

description: Exchange Traded Funds are growing in popularity and volume, however academic literature related to their performance is limited. This study analyzes how well the CORN, WEAT, SOYB, USO, and UGA commodity ETFs track their respective futures assets during the period of January 2012 to October 2017. Results indicate that tracking error is small on average, however CORN shows average excess returns significantly smaller than zero. The CORN, WEAT, USO, and UGA ETFs are found to move less aggressively than the respective asset baskets they track. While errors were small on average, large tracking errors were present across ETFs. The size of errors was affected by large price moves, as well as seasonality on a monthly and yearly level. USDA reports impacted the size of errors for CORN, WEAT and SOYB while EIA reports had no impact on error size. The mispricing analysis concluded that CORN and SOYB trade at a discount to Net Asset Value on average while WEAT trades at a premium.

 Discussion. — Species in the genus Rupisalda were transferred from Saldula by J. Polhemus (1985), and may be recognised on the basis of a the strongly raised callus on the pronotum set off by a row of pits, the forewing membrane bearing four cells of approximately equal length, and the simple structure of the hypocostal ridge (compare Figs. 12–14). They also preferentially inhabit rheocrenes and spray-wetted bedrock faces adjacent to waterfalls, rather than the horizontal littoral habitats preferred by Saldula species.

description: For a comprehensive characterization of mechanical reliability of metallization layers on polymer substrates both electrical and mechanical degradation should be taken into account. Although it is evident that cracking of a conductive film should lead to electrical degradation, the quantitative relationship between the growth of electric resistance and parameters of the induced crack pattern has remained thus far unexplored. With the help of finite element modelling we were able to find an explicit and concise expression which shows that electrical resistance grows with the fourth order of the crack length and second order of the areal crack density. The discovered relationship was verified by comparison with the experimental results of tensile testing of polymer-supported thin metal films. Presented model is independent of the length scale and can be applied to films with different thicknesses as long as Ohm's law is valid. It is demonstrated that linear crack density is an ambiguous parameter which does not properly capture the development of a crack pattern. For the unambiguous characterization of the intensity of a crack pattern a universal dimensionless factor is proposed. Presented results show that there is a wide range of possible crack patterns which do not lead to electrical failure of a conductive film that can be used for failure-free design of flexible electronic devices.

description: Genus Saldula Van Duzee, 1914
 Discussion. — The genus Saldula is the most speciose genus in the Saldidae, and is distributed worldwide, from the tropics to the arctic, occurring on every continent except Antarctica. Diagnostic characters for this genus include the presence of an oblique secondary hypocostal ridge that intersects with the costal margin midway between the embolar base and the fracture (compare Figs. 12–14), reduced ocelli, and the callus of the pronotum bearing a well-defined pit (J. Polhemus, 1985). Two species are known to occur in Peninsular Malaysia.

description: I present a program, censlope, for calculating confidence intervals for generalized Theil–Sen median (and other percentile) slopes (and per-unit ratios) of Y with respect to X. The confidence intervals are robust to the possibility that the conditional population distributions of Y , given different values of X, differ in ways other than location, such as having unequal variances. censlope uses the program somersd and is part of the somersd package. censlope can therefore estimate confounder-adjusted percentile slopes, limited to comparisons within strata defined by values of confounders, or by values of a propensity score representing multiple confounders. Iterative numerical methods have been implemented in the Mata language, enabling efficient calculation of percentile slopes and their confidence limits in large samples. I give example analyses from the auto dataset and from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Pregnancy and Childhood (ALSPAC).

 Paguristes ulreyi Schmitt, 1921: 125, pl. 18, figs. 3, 4, 5, 7. — Johnson & Snook 1927: 333.— Haig et al. 1970: 18. — McLaughlin 1974: 19, figs. 7–9. — Hart 1982: 106, fig. 37. — Wicksten 1988b: 321. — Jensen 1995: 67, fig. 128. — Kuris et al. 2007: 648.
 Diagnosis. Rostrum triangular, acute, reaching to base of eye scales, exceeding lateral projections of carapace. Eyestalk long, slender; as long as or longer than anterior carapace width. Ocular scales each with 4–5 spiniform teeth. Second antennae with thick setae on lower surface, shorter setae above. Chelipeds equal, densely setose; merus with spines on anterior edge, inner border of lower face, carpus with 5 stout spines on upper inner edge; upper surface of hand with dark-tipped spines, inner edge of palm proximal to dactyl with 3 prominent spines. Hands about 0.33–0.5 times longer than wide. Pereopods 2, 3 very setose, their dactyls slightly shorter than the propodi. Pereopod 2 with spines along margin of dactyl, propodus, carpus, pereopod 3 with less prominent spines. Telson asymmetrical, deeply notched along lateral margins, posterior end; posterior margin, posterolateral edge with teeth. Carapace length to 32.3 mm.
 Color in life. Orange to dark brown, covered by dense golden setae, often with white spots on maxillipeds. The color notes are based on crabs from Monterey Bay and Redondo Beach, California.
 Habitat and depth. Sandy or rocky subtidal areas, rarely cast ashore after storms; 0–157 m.
 Range. Frederick I., British Columbia to Pacific coast of Baja California and Punta Gorda, Gulf of California, Mexico. Type locality off Point Loma, San Diego, California, Albatross sta. 4303.
 Remarks. This is one of the largest hermit crabs of California and Oregon. It is common in kelp beds and rocky subtidal areas. The crab can use its third maxillipeds and setose antennae to capture particles used as food. It also may scavenge on remains left by other predators. I observed an aggregation of more than 20 of these hermit crabs next to a feeding sea star, Pisaster giganteus (Stimpson, 1857).
 The crabs inhabit a great variety of shells, but especially those of Astraea spp. and Kelletia kelletii (Forbes, 1852) in southern California. Often, algae, polychaete worms and even small corals encrust the shells. Slipper shells (Crepipatella spp.) often live inside the aperture of the shells.

The asteroseismological potential of the pulsating DB white dwarf stars CBS 114 and PG 1456+103

description: We have acquired 65 h of single-site time-resolved CCD photometry of the pulsating DB white dwarf star CBS 114 and 62 h of two-site high-speed CCD photometry of another DBV, PG 1456+103. The pulsation spectrum of PG 1456+103 is complicated and variable on time scales of about one week and could only partly be deciphered with our measurements. The modes of CBS 114 are more stable in time and we were able to arrive at a frequency solution somewhat affected by aliasing, but still satisfactory, involving seven independent modes and two combination frequencies. These frequencies also explain the discovery data of the star, taken 13 years earlier. We find a mean period spacing of 37.1 +/- 0.7 s significant at the 98% level between the independent modes of CBS 114 and argue that they are due to nonradial g-mode pulsations of spherical degree l=1. We performed a global search for asteroseismological models of CBS 114 using a genetic algorithm, and we examined the susceptibility of the results to the uncertainties of the observational frequency determinations and mode identifications (we could not provide m values). The families of possible solutions are identified correctly even without knowledge of m. Our optimal model suggests Teff = 21,000 K and M_* = 0.730 M_sun as well as log(M_He/M_*) = -6.66, X_O = 0.61. This measurement of the central oxygen mass fraction implies a rate for the ^12C(alpha,gamma)^16O nuclear reaction near S_300=180 keV b, consistent with laboratory measurements.

description: We estimate the size of the hadronic matrix elements of CP-violating three-gluon and four-gluon Weinberg operators using sum-rule techniques. In the three-gluon case, we are able to reproduce the expressions given in earlier works, while the four-gluon results obtained in this article are new. Our paper therefore represents the first systematic study of contributions to the electric dipole moment of the neutron due to CP-violating dimension-six and dimension-eight operators. We provide many details on both the derivation of the sum rules as well as the analysis of the uncertainties that plague our final predictions.

description: This article aims to analyse cybercrime in society as a model of crime that develops as the advancement of Internet technology. Cybercrime becomes a practice that will create community behaviour that is vulnerable to conflicts and legal issues. The approach used in this writing is literature
research, with a data analysis technique in the form of content analysis with the aim of obtaining valid inference and can be re-examined based on its context. Individual actions within a community group are actions prescribed by norms, values, and social structures. The reality in this cybercrime as a simulation, i.e. the creation of unproposed real models or hyper-reality reality. Through the simulation model, humans are framed in one space, which is
identified as real, even if it is a pseudo or mere imaginary that the emergence of cybercrime as human practice in public sphere is characterized as space without control, but on the other hand because without such control, so cybercrime becomes an anarchist space without rules and norms.

Quantum superpositions of clockwise and counterclockwise supercurrent states in the dynamics of a rf-SQUID exposed to a quantized electromagnetic field

description: The dynamical behavior of a superconducting quantum interference device (a rf-SQUID) irradiated by a single mode quantized electromagnetic field is theoretically investigated. Treating the SQUID as a flux qubit, we analyze the dynamics of the combined system within the low lying energy Hilbert subspace both in the asymmetric and in the symmetric SQUID potential configurations. We show that the temporal evolution of the system is dominated by an oscillatory behavior characterized by more than one, generally speaking, incommensurable Rabi frequencies whose expressions are explicitly given. We find that the external parameters may fixed in such a way to realize a control on the dynamical replay of the total system which, for instance, may be forced to exhibit a periodic evolution accompanied by the occurrence of an oscillatory disappearance of entanglement between the two subsystems. We demonstrate the possibility of generating quantum maximally entangled superpositions of the two macroscopically distinguishable states describing clockwise and counterclockwise supercurrents in the loop. The experimental feasibility of our proposal is briefly discussed.

description: Genus Micracanthia Reuter, 1912
 Discussion. — Some question remains as to the status of this genus in relation to Saldula. The major character separating these two genera, as presented in J. Polhemus (1985), is the reduction of venation in the corium of the forewing of Micracanthia, in which only the radial and medial veins are present. Lindskog (1986) considered this diagnostically reduced corial venation to be a potentially homoplasious character and provided evidence that such reductions were also present in some species that he felt were more properly assigned to Saldula. Given that this character does hold for the species in the region under study, however, we retain these two genera as separate in the context of the present work.
