description: In order to remain successful, business organizations need to continuously adapt and respond to a changing environment. Rapid growth poses significant challenges to managers, not least with regard to maintaining the balance between efficiency and creativity in their organizations. Using the example of a wholesale company operating in the potted plants value chain in the lower Rhine valley, Germany, the case illustrates how the company was able to exploit the opportunities arising from the concentration in the value chain, and the necessity to adjust their organizational model in response to these changes. The case chooses the example of a small- and medium-sized enterprise (SME) as such firms constitute the prevalent type of enterprises in Germany. Simultaneously, SMEs often find it particularly difficult to adapt their tangible and intangible resources to such changes. The current material is intended to help train future managers mastering this challenge.

description: The Karoo Meat of Origin certification scheme is the first certification scheme established to differentiate and protect a region of origin meat product in South Africa. Although this scheme has come a long way in protecting the value embedded in the name ‘Karoo’, many challenges and loopholes for non-compliance still exist. These challenges include opportunistic behaviour on the farmers’ side regarding the vulnerable free range claim as well as inconsistent supply and mismatched objectives of supply chain stakeholders. Because of these challenges the niche product has not yet come to its own. The purpose of this case study is threefold. Firstly, to understand the notion of Karoo Lamb as a geographical indication, and the subsequent establishment of the Karoo Meat of Origin certification scheme. Secondly, to identify and understand both the institutional and supply chain challenges that Karoo Lamb is faced with. Thirdly, to guide the certification scheme to evaluate their modus operandi for better regulation. Ultimately, the managerial decisions are expected to come full circle; if the certification scheme is better-managed consumers may be willing to pay higher premiums which might, in turn, convince farmers to become part of this prestigious certification scheme.
Power struggles and conflict recurrence: An examination of political competition in Madagascar
Creators: name: Blazek, Sawyer Lee
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study examines the extent to which political power struggles have an effect on the recurrence of conflict in a state. I create a model to examine the process of a political power struggle for the legitimate control of a state to measure the impact of particular events on an actor's political support. I then conduct an inductive examination of variables in the Malagasy political environment that may contribute to the instigation and recurrence of conflict. This research reviews several theories of conflict and development and proposes a theory of internal power dynamics that examines a series of singular events and identifies a form of cyclical conflict. Madagascar is employed as the case study.
Lyapunov exponent for a gas of soft scatterers

Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: For a fast particle moving within a two-dimensional array of soft scatterers - centers of weak and short-range potential - the dependence of the Lyapunov exponent on the system parameters is studied. The use of the linearized equations for variations of the propagation angles and impact parameters of consequent collisions reduces the problem to that of calculation of the Lyapunov exponent of an ensemble of strongly correlated random matrices with given statistics of matrix elements. In the simplest approximation this Lyapunov exponent is proportional to the interaction strength and inversely proportional to the square root of the interaction range. The model satisfactorily describes the intensity of chaos in a system of two weakly interacting particles moving in a two-dimensional regular confining potential.

description: The increasing levels of software- and data-intensive driving automation call for an evolution of automotive software testing. As a recommended practice of the Verification and Validation (V&V) process of ISO/PAS 21448, a candidate standard for safety of the intended functionality for road vehicles, simulation-based testing has the potential to reduce both risks and costs. There is a growing body of research on devising test automation techniques using simulators for Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS). However, how similar are the results if the same test scenarios are executed in different simulators? We conduct a replication study of applying a Search-Based Software Testing (SBST) solution to a real-world ADAS (PeVi, a pedestrian vision detection system) using two different commercial simulators, namely, TASS/Siemens PreScan and ESI Pro-SiVIC. Based on a minimalistic scene, we compare critical test scenarios generated using our SBST solution in these two simulators. We show that SBST can be used to effectively generate critical test scenarios in both simulators, and the test results obtained from the two simulators can reveal several weaknesses of the ADAS under test. However, executing the same test scenarios in the two simulators leads to notable differences in the details of the test outputs, in particular, related to (1) safety violations revealed by tests, and (2) dynamics of cars and pedestrians. Based on our findings, we recommend future V&V plans to include multiple simulators to support robust simulation-based testing and to base test objectives on measures that are less dependant on the internals of the simulators.
The Dwarf Spheroidal Companions to M31: Variable Stars in Andromeda II

description: (abridged) We present the results of a variable star search in Andromeda II, a dwarf spheroidal galaxy companion to M31, using HST/WFPC2 observations. Seventy-three variables were found, one of which is an anomalous Cepheid while the others are RR Lyrae stars. The anomalous Cepheid has properties consistent with those found in other dwarf spheroidal galaxies. For the RR Lyrae stars, the mean periods are 0.571 day and 0.363 day for the fundamental mode and first-overtone mode stars, respectively. With this fundamental mode mean period and the mean metallicity determined from the red giant branch (=-1.49), Andromeda II follows the period-metallicity relation defined by the Galactic globular clusters and other dwarf spheroidal galaxies. We also find that the properties of the RR Lyrae stars themselves indicate a mean abundance that is consistent with that determined from the red giants. There is, however, a significant spread among the RR Lyrae stars in the period-amplitude diagram, which is possibly related to the metallicity spread in Andromeda II indicated by the width of the red giant branch in Da Costa et al. In addition, the abundance distribution of the RR Lyrae stars is notably wider than the distribution expected from the abundance determination errors alone. The mean magnitude of the RR Lyrae stars, =24.87+/-0.03, implies a distance d=665+/-20 kpc to Andromeda II. We also demonstrate that the specific frequency of anomalous Cepheids in dwarf spheroidal galaxies correlates with the mean metallicity of their parent galaxy, and that the Andromeda II and Andromeda VI anomalous Cepheids appear to follow the same relation as those in the Galactic dwarf spheroidals.

description: This case shares the experience of Arlindo Moura, president of ABRAPA (Brazilian Association of Cotton Producers), who led the implementation of a plan to incentivize the use of cotton in Brazil. The plan was built after analyzing the relevant cotton value chain, which includes producers, spinners, textile manufacturers, clothing manufacturers, fashion influencers, universities and consumers. A network of service providers and supporters were aligned around the objective of growing the volume of cotton used throughout the chain. The case shows the strategy behind the campaigns and several promotional actions. Students are presented with challenges related to moving the effort forward following a successful program launch and are asked to consider what ABRAPA should consider in order to establish a continuous, long term and self-sustained effort of increasing cotton demand. Marketing, finance and governance issues are included.

description: We study Karoubian tensor categories which interpolate representation categories of families of so-called easy quantum groups in the same sense in which Deligne's interpolation categories $\mathrm{\underline{Rep}}(S_t)$ interpolate the representation categories of the symmetric groups. As such categories can be described using a graphical calculus of partitions, we call them interpolating partition categories. They include $\mathrm{\underline{Rep}}(S_t)$ as a special case and can generally be viewed as subcategories of the latter. Focusing on semisimplicity and descriptions of the indecomposable objects, we prove uniform generalisations of results known for special cases, including $\mathrm{\underline{Rep}}(S_t)$ or Temperley--Lieb categories. In particular, we identify those values of the interpolation parameter which correspond to semisimple and non-semisimple categories, respectively, for all so-called group-theoretical easy quantum groups. A crucial ingredient is an abstract analysis of certain subobject lattices developed by Knop, which we adapt to categories of partitions. We go on to prove a parametrisation of the indecomposable objects in all interpolating partition categories for non-zero interpolation parameters via a system of finite groups which we associate to any partition category, and which we also use to describe the associated graded rings of the Grothendieck rings of these interpolation categories.

description: Perdita (Perdita) rhois Cockerell, 1901
[Syntype: USNM; ♀ In the immediate vicinity of the Brandegee Herbarium, San Diego Co., California, USA; August 4, 1901]
Perdita rhois is endemic to the CFP. In BC, it has been collected in the Coastal Sage Matorral and Succulent Coastal Matorral ecoregions. There are preserved specimen records from BBSL and UCRC (GBIF 2023). We reviewed 116 specimens collected in BC vouchered at the CASC (Supplementary Material 1). Unlike most of the species in this genus, P. rhois is polylectic and visits a wide taxonomic variety of flowers for pollen and nectar, though these flowers generally have white petals and are clustered in a panicle or umbel. See fig. 57.

description: This paper studies contagion and market freezes caused by uncertainty in financial network structures and provides theoretical guidance for central banks. We establish a formal model to demonstrate that, in a financial system where financial institutions are interconnected, a negative shock to an individual financial institution could spread to other institutions, causing market freezes because of creditors’ uncertainty about the financial network structure. Central bank policies to alleviate market freezes and contagion, such as information policy, bailout policy and the lender of last resort policy, are examined.
Metastable Reverse-Phase Droplets within Ordered Phases: Renormalization-Group Calculation of Field and Temperature Dependence of Limiting Size

description: Metastable reverse-phase droplets are calculated by renormalization-group theory by evaluating the magnetization of a droplet under magnetic field, matching the boundary condition with the reverse phase and noting whether the reverse-phase magnetization sustains. The maximal metastable droplet size and the discontinuity across the droplet boundary are thus calculated as a function of field and temperature for the Ising model in three dimensions. The method also yields hysteresis loops for finite systems, as function of temperature and system size.

description: The density of states and other thermodynamic functions of helium nanodroplets are calculated for a microcanonical ensemble with both energy and total angular momentum treated as conserved quantum numbers. These functions allow angular momentum conserving evaporative cooling simulations. As part of this project, a recursion relationship is derived for the reduction to irreducible representations of the n'th symmetric power of the irreducible representations of the rotation group. These give the distribution of total angular momentum states generated by putting multiple quanta into a ripplon or phonon mode of the droplet, each of which is characterized by a angular momentum quantum number.

Prioritized Test Generation Guided by Software Fault Prediction

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: Writing and running software unit tests is one of the fundamental techniques used to maintain software quality. However, this process is rather costly and time consuming. Thus, much effort has been devoted to generating unit tests automatically. The common objective of test generation algorithms is to maximize code coverage. However, maximizing coverage is not necessarily correlated with identifying faults. In this work, we propose a novel approach for test generation aiming at generating a small set of tests that cover the software components that are likely to contain bugs. To identify which components are more likely to contain bugs, we train a software fault prediction model using machine learning techniques. We implemented this approach in practice in a tool called Quadrant, and demonstrate its effectiveness on five real-world, open-source projects. Results show the benefit of using Quadrant, where test generation guided by our fault prediction model can detect more than double the number of bugs compared to a coverage-oriented approach, thereby saving test generation and execution efforts.

description: Empirical evidence from time series methods which assume the usual I(0)/I(1) paradigm suggests that the e¢ cient market hypothesis, stating that spot and futures prices of a commodity should co- integrate with a unit slope on futures prices, does not hold. However, these statistical methods are known to be unreliable if the data are fractionally integrated. Moreover, spot and futures price data tend to display clear patterns of time-varying volatility which also has the potential to invalidate the use of these methods. Using new tests constructed within a more general heteroskedastic fractionally integrated model we are able to find a body of evidence in support of the e¢ cient market hypothesis for a number of commodities. Our new tests are bootstrap implementations of score-based tests for the order of integration of a fractionally integrated time series. These tests are designed to be robust to both conditional and unconditional heteroskedasticity of a quite general and unknown form in the shocks. We show that neither the asymptotic tests nor the analogues of these which obtain from using a standard i.i.d. bootstrap admit pivotal asymptotic null distributions in the presence of heteroskedasticity, but that the corresponding tests based on the wild bootstrap principle do. A Monte Carlo simulation study demonstrates that very significant improvements in finite sample behaviour can be obtained by the bootstrap vis-à-vis the corresponding asymptotic tests in both heteroskedastic and homoskedastic environments.

description: In this paper, I will focus on the role of identity in the ongoing conflict in northern Uganda and assess the impact of religious, ethnic, national, and group identity. I evaluated statements from Joseph Kony, LRA commanders, and former LRA soldiers taken from existing sources. The statements show that the LRA specifically relied on religious and ethnic identity throughout this conflict by focusing on the role of religion in the LRA's formation and actions and by dictating and recreating the Acholi ethnic identity. The LRA also relied on the manipulation of group identity to build and maintain the organization's rank and file and to indoctrinate abducted soldiers. The conflict has changed throughout the past several years, but peace attempts must include a focus on the impact of identity to account for the LRA's past atrocities and to create lasting peace, justice, and reconciliation throughout Uganda.

Crossing borders in the 19th century and now -- two examples of weaving a scientific network

description: Scientific research is and was at all times a transnational (global) activity. In this respect, it crosses several borders: national, cultural, and ideological. Even in times when physical borders separated the scientific community, scientists kept their minds open to the ideas created beyond the walls and tried to communicate despite all the obstacles. An example of such activities in the field of physics is the travel in the year 1838 of a group of three scientists through the Western Europe: Andreas Ettingshausen (professor at the University of Vienna), August Kunzek (professor at the University of Lviv) and P. Marian Koller (director of the observatory in Chremsminster, Upper Austria). 155 years later a vivid scientific exchange began between physicists from Austria and Ukraine, in particular, between the Institute for Condensed Matter Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in Lviv and the Institute for Theoretical Physics of Johannes Kepler University Linz. This became possible due to the programs financed by national institutions, but it had its scientific background in already knotted historic scientific networks, when Lviv was an international center of mathematics and in Vienna the 'School of Statistical Thought' arose. Due to the new collaboration, after the breakup of the Soviet Union, Ukraine became the first country to join the Middle European Cooperation in Statistical Physics (MECO) founded in the early 1970s with the aim of bridging the gap between scientists from the Eastern and Western parts of Europe separated by the iron curtain.

Large-$N_c$ analysis of magnetic and axial two-nucleon currents in pionless effective field theory

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We analyze magnetic and axial two-nucleon contact terms in a combined large-$N_c$ and pionless effective field theory expansion. These terms play important roles in correctly describing, e.g., the low-energy cross section of radiative neutron capture and the deuteron magnetic moment. We show that the large-$N_c$ expansion hints towards a hierarchy between the two leading-order magnetic terms that matches that found in phenomenological fits. We also comment on the issue of naturalness in different Lagrangian bases.

Guerreros del Camino: Central American migration through Mexico and undocumented migration as civil disobedience
Creators: name: Frank-Vitale, Amelia
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Hundreds of thousands of Central Americans make a treacherous trip through Mexico in hopes of reaching the United States every year. Many travel on top of freight trains, many are victims of assault, kidnapping, rape, and murder, and many stay at a series of shelters during their journey. This thesis focuses on this phenomenon of Central American migration that has received relatively little scholarly attention, unlike the flows of migration from Mexico into the United States. It does so through arguing that mass undocumented migration can be seen as a new form of civil disobedience in a globalized world. Updating civil disobedience for the modern globalized context, it places mass undocumented civil disobedience squarely within this tradition of resistance. It makes this argument based on extensive interviews with Central American migrants and engaged ethnographic fieldwork done at the migrant shelter located in Ciudad Ixtepec, Oaxaca, Mexico.

description: The nuclear spectral function at high missing energies and momenta has been determined from a self-consistent calculation of the Green's function in nuclear matter using realistic nucleon-nucleon interactions. The results are compared with recent experimental data derived from ($e,e'p$) reactions on $^{12}C$. A rather good agreement is obtained if the Green's functions are calculated in a non-perturbative way.

description: We consider the curvature radiation of the point-like charge moving relativistically along curved magnetic field lines through a pulsar magnetospheric electron-positron plasma. We demonstrate that the radiation power is largely suppressed as compared with the vacuum case, but still at a considerable level, high enough to explain the observed pulsar luminosities. The emitted radiation is polarized perpendicularly to the plane of the curved magnetic filed lines coincides with $ which can freely escape from the magnetospheric plasma. Our results strongly support the coherent curvature radiation by the spark-associated solitons as a plausible mechanism of pulsar radio emission.

description: Interwar macroeconomic history is a natural place to look for evidence on the correlation between output growth and inflation or unexpected inflation. We apply time-series methods to measure unexpected inflation for more than twenty countries using both retail and wholesale prices. There is a significant, positive correlation between output growth and inflation for the entire period. There is little evidence that this correlation is caused by an underlying role for unexpected inflation. For wholesale price inflation in particular the output declines associated with deflations were larger than the output increases associated with inflations of the same scale.
Representation of human rights and environmental issues in American and Norwegian high school curricula and textbooks -- A comparative study
Creators: name: Helland, Tarjei
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This thesis analyzes how human rights and environmental issues are framed and presented in American and Norwegian high school curricula and textbooks. Based on a mixed methods content analysis the findings suggest that there are significant differences in how the two countries frame, contextualize and present the issues. The Norwegian texts focus on the UN, multilateral cooperation, and international treaties, and emphasize the universality and inherent value of human rights. The American texts present rights mainly in an American context and human rights as an instrument the U.S. can use to protect their national interest. These results concur with the official policy of the two countries as presented by the U.S. Department of State and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I thus argue that the educational sectors in the two countries contribute to a process of reproducing and reinforcing the agreed consensus in society.
