description: We investigate high-order harmonic generation in a solid, modeled as a multi-level system dressed by a strong infrared laser field. We show that the cutoff energies and the relative strengths of the multiple plateaus that emerge in the harmonic spectrum can be understood both qualitatively and quantitatively by considering a combination of adiabatic and diabatic processes driven by the strong field. Such a model was recently used to interpret the multiple plateaus exhibited in harmonic spectra generated by solid argon and krypton [Ndabashimiye {\it et al.}, Nature 534, 520 (2016)]. We also show that when the multi-level system originates from the Bloch state at the $Γ$ point of the band structure, the laser-dressed states are equivalent to the Houston states [Krieger {\it el al.} Phys. Rev. B 33, 5494 (1986)] and will therefore map out the band structure away from the $Γ$ point as the laser field increases. This leads to a semi-classical three-step picture in momentum space that describes the high-order harmonic generation process in a solid.

The Thematic Core Service Multi-scale Laboratories (TCS MSL) is a community within the European Plate Observing System (EPOS) that includes a wide range of world-class laboratory infrastructures and that provides a cross-disciplinary platform for virtual access to data and physical access to solid Earth science labs.

Data coming from the MSL laboratories provide the backbone for scientific publications, but they are often available only as supplementary information to research articles. Moreover, the vast majority of the collected data remain unpublished, inaccessible, and often not sustainably preserved for the long term. To allow reuse of these valuable but often neglected data, the TCS MSL developed a full chain to support solid Earth science researchers from the long tail in the FAIR dissemination of their collected data.

This chain builds upon a community-driven metadata standard that allows for multiple discipline-specific detailed descriptions, a publication tool (metadata editor), and a community portal that gives access to DOI-referenced data publications at multiple research data repositories related to the TCS MSL context (https://epos-msl.uu.nl/). The portal is built on the CKAN repository toolkit and is driven by the richness of the TCS MSL metadata standard. Besides its importance for the TCS MSL community, it also provides a showcase of how to set up a CKAN-based environment as a cross-disciplinary catalogue for FAIR metadata exchange in a highly heterogeneous setting.

description: Mid-IR water lines from protoplanetary disks around T Tauri stars have a detection rate of 50\%. Models have identified multiple physical properties of disks such as dust-to-gas mass ratio, dust size power law distribution, disk gas mass, disk inner radius, and disk scale height as potential explanation for the current detection rate. We search for a connection between mid-IR water line fluxes and the strength of the 10~$μ$m silicate feature. We analyse observed water line fluxes from three blends and compute the 10~$μ$m silicate feature strength from Spitzer spectra. We use a series of published models, exploring disk dust and gas properties, and the effects of different stars. The models also show that the increasing stellar luminosity enhance simultaneously the strength of this dust feature and the water lines fluxes. No correlation is found between the observed mid-IR water lines and the 10~$μ$m silicate. Our sample shows the same difference in the peak strength between amorphous and crystalline silicates that was noted in earlier studies, but our models do not support this intrinsic difference in silicate peak strength. Individual properties of our model series are not able to reproduce the most extreme observations, suggesting that more complex dust properties are required. A parametrized settling prescription is able to boost the peak strength by a factor 2 for the standard model. Water line fluxes are unrelated to the composition of the dust. The pronounced regular trends seen in the model results are washed out in the data due to the larger diversity in stellar and disk properties compared to our model series. The disks with with weaker mid-IR water line fluxes are depleted in gas or enhanced in dust in the inner 10~au. In the case of gas depleted disks, settling produces very strong 10~$μ$m silicate features, with strong peak strength.

description:
Chromitites are economically relevant sources for chromium, and platinum-group elements (PGE). Since chromium is resistant to corrosion and abrasion, it is a vital item in stainless (74%), alloy steel markets (19%) and refractory materials. The PGE are used in catalytic converters, auto-catalysts, chemical manufacture, electrical products, petroleum refining, and jewelry.The European Commission published the global chromite production in 2020, which amounts to 40 million tons. Currently, the primary chromite production stems from South Africa (46%), followed by Kazakhstan (16%), Turkey (11%), and India (10%). Albania (2%) is the third-largest producer of chromite in Europe after Turkey (11%) and Finland (4%). Although Cyprus has chromite resources, there is currently no economic mining activity in this country. However, Cyprus could be an additional important supplier since it belongs to the European Union and can thus advance as an essential production country for the European Union. Due to the limiting countries mining chromite and the limitation in the refining step, there is a risk that the chromium supply could lead to bottlenecks.After studying the chromitites of three different places: Mirdita (Albania), Troodos (Cyprus) and Muğla (Turkey) ophiolites from point of Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Electron Prob Microanalyzer (EPM). Our preliminary data shows that the chromitites of the different deposits show similarities. However, our data sets also shows that the chromium concentrations in Cyprus are lower compared to the samples from Turkey and Albania. Further research on these samples sets is needed. Therefore, we will conduct Raman spectroscopy and carry out further geochemical and petrological studies to understand the genesis of the chromite deposits.

Corruption, Governance, and Poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa: Panel Evidence
Creators: name: Seyoum, Abraham
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2011

description: This paper examines the relationship between corruption and poverty as well as their causal links. The effects of governance on both corruption and poverty are also addressed in the study. Data for 23 sub-Saharan African countries over the years 2000 – 2009 are used in a dynamic panel model of System-Generalized Method Moment estimation. Results show that corruption significantly and positively affects poverty indicating increased corruption increases poverty and vice versa. Capability poverty measured by Human Poverty Index also affects corruption, showing the same sign of effect. The causal link between corruption and poverty is found to be bidirectional running both from corruption to poverty and from poverty to corruption. That is, current and past information on corruption helps to improve the prediction on poverty as well as current and past information on poverty helps to improve the prediction on corruption. Governance quality affects poverty where improved governance contributes to poverty reduction and poor governance increases poverty. Each of the governance indicators: voice and accountability, political stability and absence of violence, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, and rule of law are also found to affect corruption level when considered independently. It is, therefore, important to understand corruption-poverty nexus while developing and implementing development policies. Policies of combating corruption and alleviating poverty should be an integral component of the same strategy and not be treated separately

description: With the advent of new and more sensitive direct detection experiments, scope for a thermal WIMP explanation of dark matter (DM) has become extremely constricted. The non-observation of thermal WIMP in these experiments has put a strong upper bound on WIMP-nucleon scattering cross section and within a few years it is likely to touch the neutrino floor. Hence in all probability, DM may have some non-thermal origin. In this work we explore in detail this possibility of a non-thermal sterile neutrino DM within the framework of U(1)$_{\rm B-L}$ model. The U(1)$_{\rm B-L}$ model on the other hand is a well-motivated and minimal way of extending the standard model so that it can explain the neutrino masses via Type-I see-saw mechanism. We have shown, besides explaining the neutrino mass, it can also accommodate a non-thermal sterile neutrino DM with correct relic density. In contrast with the existing literature, we have found that $W^\pm$ decay can also be a dominant production mode of the sterile neutrino DM. To obtain the comoving number density of dark matter, we have solved here a coupled set of Boltzmann equations considering all possible decay as well as annihilation production modes of the sterile neutrino dark matter. The framework developed here though has been done for a U(1)$_{\rm B-L}$ model, can be applied quite generally for any models with an extra neutral gauge boson and a fermionic non-thermal dark matter.

description: ABSTRACT
 Production of gluten-free bread that will match the properties of its wheat counterpart creates many challenges nowadays especially in terms of bread quality and nutritional adequacy. To address the aforementioned nutritional but also technological problems present in gluten-free bread production, dietary fibres can be applied considering their hydration and gel forming ability, textural and thickening effects. Apple fibre is an easily accessible fibre characterised by favourable soluble and insoluble fibre ratio and presence of polyphenols but is scarcely applied in gluten-free elaborations.
 In the presented study a fundamental (dynamic oscillatory and creep-recovery tests) rheological approach was adopted to assess the viscoelasticity of maize-based gluten-free batters affected by different levels of apple fibre (AF) and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC). Experiments were performed according to the Box-Behnken experimental design, with independent variables: quantity of HPMC (2, 3 and 4% on maize flour basis), quantity of AF (3, 5, and 7% on maize flour basis), and quantity of water (180, 190 and 200% on maize flour basis).
 Increase in HPMC and AF content increased the values of elastic modulus inducing shifting towards solid elastic-like behaviour typical for dough. Additionally, tan δ values were higher than one in most gluten-free formulations. Significant impact on creep and recovery parameters was associated with HPMC (changes in instantaneous and retarded elastic compliance) and water content (changes in Newtonian viscosity). In applied quantities, AF does not impair any of the analysed rheological parameters and hence it could be applied in gluten-free bread production as a functional ingredient.

Details of the perturbative analysis and semianalitical simulations leading to the dynamical evolution of a quantum harmonic oscillator in the presence of non locality reported in [1], together with a comprehensive account of the experimental methodology with particular regard to sensitivity limitations related to thermal decoherence time and active cooling of the oscillator, are given. Finally, a strategy for detecting non-locality scales of the order of $10^{- 22} ÷10^{- 26}$ m by means of the spontaneous time periodic squeezing of quantum coherent states is provided.

title: Modeling a Pandemic: Investigating Student Learning about Disease Spread in the Context of Agent-Based Modeling
Creators: name: Wu, Siyu
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2022

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted a need for students to learn about public health issues, including the transmission of disease and methods for the prevention of epidemics. This study presents data from a project focused on developing computational microworlds to help middle school students learn about these topics. The microworld is designed to help students model and test their ideas about how a disease spreads through a population and how an epidemic can be prevented. I employed a lab-based case study approach to conduct one-on-one 1.5-hour interviews through Zoom with four middle-school students (ages 12-14). During the interview, the student was asked questions about the spread and prevention of disease and then invited to model and test their ideas in the microworld. This study presents an analysis of students’ pre and post instructional knowledge of disease spread and prevention, which they shared while constructing their initial and later models. I present student ideas in categories of disease transmission, recovery from disease, and disease protection strategies. The paper also analyzes students’ knowledge refinement through the building, testing, and debugging of a disease spread and prevention model. I model student refinement of thinking through steps of building initial models and predicting results, testing initial models, making sense of the results, debugging and retesting models, observing final models, and explaining results, resulting in three types of thinking shifts, and two types of thinking refinements. My findings suggest middle school students can learn about strategies for disease prevention through computational modeling.
title:  Gilles Deleuze: alle radici di un divenire non dialettico
Creators: name: Remiddi  , Sofia
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press
Year: 2022

description: Il saggio si propone di indagare la permanenza del tema del conflitto all'interno della filosofia di Gilles Deleuze, facendo particolare riferimento al suo legame con il concetto di divenire. Inoltre, si mostrerà come il conflitto sia concepito all'interno di una logica non dialettica e oppositiva. Partendo dalle critiche di Roberto Esposito sull'assenza del "negativo" nella filosofia deleuziana e dalla necessità di Andrew Culp di restituire il lato oscuro del filosofo francese, si risalirà alla radice del conflitto individuandolo nel pensiero di Eraclito per mostrare come l'efebo rimanga un riferimento costante nella filosofia deleuziana. A questo proposito, il frammento B 52 sarà utilizzato come linea guida per ripercorrere l'interpretazione di Nietzsche in La filosofia nell'età tragica dei Greci e di Kostas Axelos in Héraclite et la philosophie. Avremo così l'opportunità di riconoscere che la lotta e la contesa sono intrinseche all'ontologia deleuziana legandosi al pensatore conflittuale per eccellenza, anche se non hanno alcuna affinità con lo scontro frontale di affermazione e negazione.

The essay aims to investigate the permanence of the theme of conflict within the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze, by making particular reference to its link with the concept of becoming. Furthermore, it will be shown how conflict is conceived within a non-dialectical and oppositional logic. Starting from Roberto Esposito’s criticisms about the absence of ‘negative’ in Deleuzian philosophy and from Andrew Culp’s need to restore the dark side of the french philosopher, we will go back to the root of the conflict by identifying it in the thought of Heraclitus to show how the Ephesian remain a constant reference in deleuzian philosophy. In this respect, fragment B 52 will be used as a guideline to retrace the interpretation of Nietzsche in Philosophy in the Tragic Age of the Greeks, and of Kostas Axelos in Héraclite et la philosophie. Thus, we will have the opportunity to recognize that struggle and contention are intrinsic to the deleuzian ontology by binding to the conflict thinker par excellence, even though they have no affinity with a frontal clash of affirmation and negation.

Households Willingness to Pay for Improved Municipal Solid Waste Management in Dilla Town, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Tamru, Shemelis
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: This study used a cross-sectional survey of 381 randomly selected respondents to investigate households' willingness to pay (WTP) for improved municipal solid waste management (MSWM) in Dilla town. The survey was conducted using a direct face-to-face interview method. The study employed double-bounded followed by open-ended value elicitation format to estimate households' mean WTP. The probit and tobit models were used to investigate the determinants of households WTP. The findings of the study revealed that there is a serious problem of MSWM in the town. The solid waste generated from the town is poorly managed. As a result, this is creating negative impacts on the environment, human health, and economic activities of residents. About 91.6 percent of the total respondents were willing to pay for improved MSWM. The results of the probit and tobit models revealed that income of households and awareness of respondents about the impacts of poorly managed solid waste on the environment have positive and significant effects on the households WTP response for the initial bids and on the households MWTP respectively. Age of the respondents and satisfaction with the existing system variables have also positive and negative significant effects on the households WTP response for the initial bids respectively. The solid waste generated by households, plan of households and duration variables have positive and significant effects on the households MWTP. The mean WTP values obtained from open-ended and double-bounded value elicitation formats are about ETB 10.7 and ETB 12.36 per month for a household respectively. This study recommended that the mean WTP can be used as a guide for the municipality to determine the socially acceptable fee. The local authorities should work hard on awareness creation for the residents about the impacts of poorly managed solid waste on the environment and human health through mass media and campaign. In order to create a clean, safe, and healthy environment in the town, both the local authorities and residents of the town should cooperate and take the responsibility of SWM.
Origin of the effective mobility in non-linear active micro-rheology

description: The distinction between the damping coefficient and the effective non-linear mobility of driven particles in active micro-rheology of supercooled liquids is explained in terms of individual and collective dynamics. The effective mobility arises as a collective effect which gives insight into the energy landscape of the system. On the other hand, the damping coefficient is a constant that modulates the effect of external forces over the thermal energy which particles have at their disposition to perform Brownian motion. For long times, these thermal fluctuations become characterized in terms of an effective temperature that is a consequence of the dynamic coupling between kinetic and configurational degrees of freedom induced by the presence of the strong external force. The interplay between collective mobility and effective temperature allows to formulate a generalized Stokes-Einstein relation that may be used to determine the collective diffusion coefficient. The explicit relations we deduce reproduce simulation data remarkably well.

Creators: name: McBride, Randall
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2022

description: Predation is one of the most important interspecies interactions that affect a wildlife population. Predator-prey interactions may cause species to shift their behavior, such as changing the use of their habitat in both space and time, based on their ability to assess risk. Wildlife population responses to predation stresses have been studied in the past, but individuals' responses to these stresses have not been studied in fine detail. For this study, cow elk were collared with GPS collars, and hunters carried hand-held GPS units. GPS locations were taken at 10-minute intervals for both cow elk and hunters during the hunting season. The data collected permitted a comparison of the effects of hunting different species and sexes on cow elk predation response. Overall, the data showed that cow elk respond directly to hunting pressure. Cow elk showed a strong reaction to hunting pressure during the cow elk hunt, which depended on the distance from hunters. Cow elk appeared to interpret and mitigate risk when they were being hunted.

We present a conjecture for the Grassmannian integral representation both for these tree level form factors as well as for leading singularities of their loop counterparts. The presented conjecture was successfully checked by reproducing several known answers in $\mbox{MHV}$ and $\mbox{N}^{k-2}\mbox{MHV}$, $k\geq3$ sectors together with appropriate soft limits. We also discuss the cancellation of spurious poles and relations between different BCFW representations for such form factors on simple examples.

description:
Tin (Sn) and tungsten (W) have been established as strategic metals, whose resources are mainly related to highly evolved, volatile-rich granitic systems and related hydrothermal fluids. Their transport and enrichment results from a combination of melt- and fluid-driven processes. To evaluate the relative importance of these processes, we propose to combine the study of natural and synthetic fluid inclusions (FIs). Natural FIs occurring in early (associated with cassiterite) to late hydrothermal (associated with wolframite) quartz of the Argemela magmatic-hydrothermal system (Central Portugal) are mainly of aqueous (average XH2O = 0.94±0.04) L+V±S type. Raman spectrometry revealed an evolution from V-rich CO2-CH4-N2 to L-rich CO2±N2-CH4 inclusions through the transition and graphite is present in several early inclusions, suggesting relatively reduced conditions and a potential inheritance from the source. In addition, and because further work is needed to understand the fluid/melt partitioning of Sn and W, several experiments were conducted at 700 and 800°C, 200MPa and variable fO2 and salinities to synthetize FIs. A synthetic glass was produced to mimic the major element composition of the Argemela highly peraluminous intrusion and concentrations of W, Sn, P and Li were varied. Inclusion-free quartz were used to trap the fluids. First results prove the feasibility of the study. Microthermometry and LA-ICP-MS analyses are in progress for both natural and synthetic FIs.

Creators: name: Stuivenvolt-Allen, Jacob
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2022

description: The impacts of specific weather events can vary greatly from year to year. Much of these impacts depend heavily on the frequency of impactful weather which is constrained by the state of the climate system each year. This research focuses largely on the impacts that climate oscillations from year-to-year or even from decade-to-decade have on the frequency of impactful weather. There are numerous examples of impactful weather that impact North America, but this work focuses on drought in the western United States, atmospheric rivers in Northern California and rapidly developing winter storms along the east coast. While seemingly disparate events, there is much overlap in the mechanisms by which variations in the ocean and atmosphere can impact the frequency of these impactful events. Most of these mechanisms involve the tropical Pacific Ocean, which acts as a major driving force for the state of the atmosphere over North America and the resulting frequency of weather extremes.

description: Nell’ambito del complesso rapporto tra cinema e psicoanalisi la figura di Ignacio Matte Blanco offre un’inedita chiave di lettura. A questo proposito, il pensiero dello psicoanalista cileno si rivela fecondo non tanto nella direzione di una rigida applicazione delle categorie ai singoli film, quanto piuttosto come prezioso punto di avvio per una riflessione sulle immagini. In una tale prospettiva, l’articolo intende far risuonare i concetti della psicoanalisi di Matte Blanco nel cinema di Alain Resnais, intravedendo nel carattere aperto della teoria una cornice di riferimento entro cui proporre letture e interpretazioni di particolari opere. 

Within the relationship between cinema and psychoanalysis, the figure of Ignacio Mate Blanco offers an original interpretation. In this regard, the Chilean psychoanalyst’s thought appears fruitful not so much in the direction of a rigid application of categories to specific films, but rather as a precious starting point for a reflection on images. In this perspective, the paper aims to make the concept of Matte Blanco’s psychoanalysis resonate in the Alain Resnais’s cinema, seeing in the open theory a frame of reference within which to propose readings of particular works.

description: The exponent of anomalous diffusion of virus in cytoplasm of a living cell is experimentally known to fluctuate depending on localized areas of the cytoplasm, indicating heterogeneity of diffusion. In a recent paper (Itto, 2012), a maximum-entropy-principle approach has been developed in order to propose an Ansatz for the statistical distribution of such exponent fluctuations. Based on this approach, here the deviation of the statistical distribution of the fluctuations from the proposed one is studied from the viewpoint of Einstein's theory of fluctuations (of the thermodynamic quantities). This may present a step toward understanding the statistical property of the deviation. It is shown in a certain class of small deviations that the deviation obeys the multivariate Gaussian distribution.

description: This study tries to address the impact of trade on poverty by way of agricultural total factor productivity (TFP). In doing so, we employ a Sequential Dynamic Computable General Equilibrium Model linked to a Micro Simulation Model. We also used econometric model to estimate the agricultural TFP of Ethiopia. For these purpose, we utilized the data of the 2005/06 SAM of EDRI (Ethiopian Development Research Institute), the 2004/05 HICE (Household Income Consumption Expenditure) survey conducted by CSA (Central Statistical Agency of Ethiopia), different years of agricultural sample surveys of CSA and the ITC UNCTAD data. The estimation results of this study shows that trade openness and fertilizer application have positive impact on agricultural TFP. But seeds, irrigation and extension have negative impact on agricultural TFP. We also found that the proposed tariff cut, trade induced agricultural TFP and improved agricultural TFP due the application of fertilizer results in an increment in all macroeconomic variables. However, poverty due to trade openness and tariff reduction exacerbate poverty during the simulation period

description: A droplet of fluid can slide or roll down an angled surface if the droplet doesn’t stick to the plate (e.g., droplets on glass). The most common surface to allow for such this motion are hydrophobic surfaces. One example is a freshly waxed car where the rain beads up and rolls off. Another example is if a pan is heated to a high enough temperature then when small amounts of water are added the droplet will skitter around on the surface for a moment before boiling away. This high temperature effect where droplets rest on a vapor layer underneath cause by the heat is called the Leidenfrost point. One might ask which surface type will encourage a droplet to go down the surface fastest? Herein an analysis and comparison of droplets on both of these types of surfaces is performed, with consideration given to the size of the droplet, the angle of the surface, and the type of droplet by varying the relative thickness or viscosity. The droplet velocity and acceleration are compared and the hydrophobic surfaces with water have the most consistent high velocities. However, making the droplets more viscous slows down the droplets on hydrophobic surface more effectively than on Leidenfrost ones. Finally, both surfaces can produce a form of thrust if conditions are right.

description: We selectively create p-wave Feshbach molecules in the $m_{l}=\pm 1$ orbital angular momentum projection state of $^{6}$Li. We use an optical lattice potential to restrict the relative momentum of the atoms such that only the $m_{l}=\pm 1$ molecular state couples to the atoms at the Feshbach resonance. We observe the hollow-centered dissociation profile, which is a clear indication of the selective creation of p-wave molecules in the $m_{l}=\pm1$ states. We also measure the dissociation energy of the p-wave molecules created in the optical lattice and develop a theoretical formulation to explain the dissociation energy as a function of the magnetic field ramp rate for dissociation. The capability of selecting one of the two closely-residing p-wave Feshbach resonances is useful for the precise characterization of the p-wave Feshbach resonances.

description: This study reports both theoretical and empirical findings on the impact of productive safety net in Adami Tulu Jido Kombolcha wereda, East Shoa Zone of Oromia regional state. The main objective of this study is to assess the impacts of Productive safety net transfers on household welfare. The analysis was made using the household data collected from three kebeles (Chetu Getu, Werja Weshgula and Hurufa Lole). The study looked at the household characteristics and the descriptive result shows that there are interesting differences in the composition of PSNP beneficiary and non-beneficiary households, which suggest that certain demographic criteria might have been used in targeting households for the PSNP. Thus, female-headed and older-headed households are generally more vulnerable and more likely to need support than male-headed households. The probit regression analysis result shows that among other variables included in the study household labour, beneficiary dummy, education dummy, ox holding, number of oxen and age have been significant in determining household welfare. As it was hypostasized beneficiary, ox holding and household labour are positively related to the probability of increase in welfare. Age, education dummy and number of oxen negatively and strongly related to changes in welfare over the last year. Therefore, the probability of improving welfare of the respondents is significantly affected by households being beneficiary of safety net program.
title: Examining the Effectiveness of Explicit, Systematic Mathematics Vocabulary Instruction for Students with Learning Difficulties and Disabilities in a Specialized Setting

description: Many students in the United States are not proficient in mathematics. Mathematics vocabulary is one area that may impact students’ understanding of and engagement with mathematics. This dissertation investigated the implementation, effectiveness, and teacher’s perceptions of a program for teaching mathematics vocabulary necessary for fourth grade and beyond.
This study randomly assigned 30 students (11-14 years old) to receive mathematics vocabulary instruction or not. Three teachers at a school for students with learning difficulties and disabilities administered mathematics vocabulary and mathematics achievement tests to all of their students before teaching the program to 17 of the students. A research assistant and I observed the teachers, and all of the teachers shared their perceptions of the lessons via a survey.
Results show that the teachers taught the lessons as intended and that the students who received the lessons did better on the post-test than students who did not receive the lessons. Results from the survey suggest the teachers found the intervention acceptable, easy to use, and plan to use it or something similar to teach mathematics vocabulary in the future.

description: The objective of the study was to analyze households' willingness to pay for protection of river water pollution that attaches an economic value to the river. The choice experiment technique was employed by means of interviewing 315 respondents. For the protection options, five attributes; river water quality, river water volume, riparian buffer zone, recreational facilities and monetary payments were identified and developed. Attributes and socioeconomic characteristics were estimated using multinomial logit and random parameter logit models. Based on the best model fit, random parameter logit model with interactions result, respondents are willing to pay on average birr 90.34, 12.89 and 27.87 /respondent/year for additional level and birr 1.48/respondent/year for extra meter for river water quality, river water volume, recreational facilities and riparian buffer zone, respectively. Moreover, it is found that respondents are willing to pay on average birr 607.2, 753.2 and 886.2 /respondent/year for low, medium and high impact improvement scenarios. Priority should be given to the improvement of the water quality, since households attached a higher value for the attribute of river water quality.
title: Emotional Support Animal Partnerships: A Multimethod Investigation
Creators: name: Ferrell, Jillian
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) are increasing in prevalence and awareness, though not all the publicity and attention have been positive. Many people, including housing officials, persons with disabilities, health professionals, and the general public are confused about the roles and rights of ESAs. Misunderstandings, lack of awareness, and fraud have led to dangerous and inappropriate situations for humans and animals alike despite overwhelming evidence of powerful therapeutic benefits of the human animal bond.
Three studies provide insight into various perspectives involved in ESA partnership experiences and development. Each study provides a theoretical, quantitative, and qualitative approach, respectively, to explore the interactions between persons with disabilities, animals, health professionals, and policymakers/enforcers. Special attention is given to animal welfare, professional involvement, and protecting rights of persons with disabilities. Study I provides a decision making framework that helps health professionals make thoughtful and ethical ESA determinations and facilitate compassionate and competent conversations with clients about ESAs. Study II explores of the current contexts of ESAs in the Unites States. Understanding more about ESA partnership situations and behaviors can focus efforts for education and research that can best support safe and effective ESA partnerships. Study III shares the narratives of three students with ESAs on a university campus and highlights the interactions between persons with disabilities and university setting policy and policy enforcement.
A greater understanding of each stakeholder and their impacts on each other could reduce fraud, animal welfare concerns, problematic ESA behaviors, and disability discrimination. Awareness, education, and compassionate dialogue may be the key to using the powerful human-animal bond to help better support persons with disabilities and their animal partners.

description: We consider a cosmology in which dark matter and a quintessence scalar field responsible for the acceleration of the Universe are allowed to interact. Allowing for both conformal and disformal couplings, we perform a global analysis of the constraints on our model using Hubble parameter measurements, baryon acoustic oscillation distance measurements, and a Supernovae Type Ia data set. We find that the additional disformal coupling relaxes the conformal coupling constraints. Moreover we show that, at the background level, a disformal interaction within the dark sector is preferred to both $Λ$CDM and uncoupled quintessence, hence favouring interacting dark energy.
