description: A piscicultura pode ser uma alavanca de desenvolvimento social e econômico, possibilitando o aproveitamento efetivo dos recursos naturais locais, principalmente os hídricos e a criação de postos de trabalhos assalariados. Entretanto, existem inúmeras variáveis que condicionam ou afetam o sucesso de um empreendimento rural. Nesse sentido, o presente estudo tem como objetivo demonstrar os fatores organizacionais e institucionais capazes de afetar o desenvolvimento da piscicultura no estado de Mato Grosso do Sul. Para tanto, buscou-se investigar como as instituições que compõem os ambientes organizacional e institucional afetam diretamente e influenciam no crescimento ou direcionamento da cadeia no Estado. Para realização deste trabalho utilizou-se como técnica de coleta de dados, a análise documental, considerando informações coletadas diretamente em instituições ligadas a piscicultura como importante fornecedor de dados, além de outras instituições públicas. Pode se concluir que a cadeia da piscicultura no estado de Mato Grosso do Sul apresenta uma forma organizada, com grandes possibilidades de crescimento e ampliação, entretanto, existe a necessidade de profissionalização e investimentos de seus agentes.---------------------------------------------The pisciculture can be a gear lever of social and economical development, making possible the effective utilization of the local natural resources, principaly the hídricos and the creation of positions of salaried works. However, countless variables that condition exist or they affect the success of a rural enterprise. In that sense, the present study has as objective demonstrates the organizational and institutional factors capable to affect the development of the fish farming in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul.

description: The scattering length density profile for a thin film structure can be determined uniquely if both modulus and phase of the reflection coefficient is known. Here, we describe a method for recovering the phase information which utilize a magnetic substrate and based on polarization analysis of the reflected beam. The method is derived in the formalism of transfer matrix so it is applicable for any unknown real scattering length density of nonmagnetic films (i.e. in the case where there is no effective absorption).

He was wounded in the shoulder and walked around the battlefield and luckily found the English line. He was sent back for hospitalisation and was then sent home to work as a clerk. He was given medals and the contributor's sister had them hanging in her house until they fell apart. When he used to see soldiers coming over the trenches in television documentaries about the First World War, he said 'it was like that' but he didn't ever talk about the war other than that.

description: It is strange how people think that criminal law is at its best when the perpetrator is discovered and sent to jail. Unfortunately, every time that happens, criminal law has actually “suffered one more defeat” in the face of what would be the ideal solution: not to have criminal offences, perpetrators, or victims at all. This is best illustrated in mass atrocities committed during conflicts (or “war crimes”). By influencing (and mostly destroying) human lives on a large-scale, war crimes raise questions that are not so easily observed in “ordinary” criminal law cases. Like “ordinary” criminal offences, just on a larger scale, war crimes (as mass crimes) raise the question of the purpose and the role of criminal law (and international criminal law) in our society. Furthermore, there is a question of the societies we have created, the invention (and failure) of criminal law to as a means of prevention, and the reality of acting post facto, when crimes have already been committed and lives and property have already been destroyed; not of some imaginary “ones”, but living human beings, who hope that criminal law will help them overcome that suffering and carry on living; help them to find justice. Or, maybe the best way to describe would be with the words of one of the victims of war crimes: Life was once so beautiful. Carefree and joyful. Playful in the never-ending flowery fields of my childhood. Illuminated by the love and care of my parents. It was about the beautiful, carefree life in your own home. And then one day. It all disappeared.

Através de uma revisão sobre os métodos tradicionais de avaliação de projetos de investimento; sobre os problemas, restrições e limitações ao uso destes; e sobre a teoria das opções reais e seus principais usos, este trabalho busca formar base de sustentação teórica para através de um exemplo ilustrativo mostrar a aplicação da TOR no agronegócio. Busca-se, através deste exemplo, discutir a possibilidade de melhorar as análises de viabilidade na área agrária pela aplicação da TOR. As motivações, justificativas e impactos positivos pelo uso da metodologia em projetos agropecuários serão explorados pelo exemplo e apresentados em sua análise. Estes mostram que existe uma ampla aderência entre a TOR e a análise de viabilidade econômico-financeira de projetos agropecuários, em virtude das características destes no que tange às incertezas futuras de preço e de volume. --------------------------------------------This paper represents a theoretical framework which searches for presenting and discussing the application of the Real Options Theory (ROT) under the economical and financial viability of farm projects. Through a review of the traditional investment projects evaluation methods, about the problems, restrictions and limitations of their usage, and related to the real options theory and its main usages, this work seeks to form a theoretical support base to through an illustrative sample show the ROT application in agribusiness. It’s searched, through this example, to discuss the possibility of increase the viability analysis in the agrarian area by the application of ROT. The motivations, justifications and positive impacts by the usage of this methodology in farm projects are operated by the sample and showed on its analysis. These ones show that exists a wide adherence between the ROT and the economical and financial viability analysis of farm projects, because of the features of these ones related to the future uncertainties of price and volume.

description: Background: Dataset skills are used in STEM fields from healthcare work to astronomy research. Few fields explicitly teach students the skills to analyze datasets, and yet the increasing push for authentic science implies these skills should be taught. Purpose: The overarching motivation is to understand learning of dataset skills within an astronomy context. Specifically, when participants work with a 200-entry Google Sheets dataset of astronomical data about quasars, what are they learning, how are they learning it, and who is doing the learning? Sample: The authors studied a matched set of participants (n=87) consisting of 54 university undergraduate students (34 male, 18 female), and 33 science educators (16 male, 17 female). Design and methods: Participants explored a three-phase dataset activity and were given an eight-question multiple-choice pre/post-test covering skills of analyzing datasets and astronomy content, with questions spanning Bloom's Taxonomy. Pre/post-test scores were compared and a t-test performed for subsamples by population. Results: Participants exhibited learning of both dataset skills and astronomy content, indicating that dataset skills can be learned through this astronomy activity. Participants exhibited gains in both recall and synthesis questions, indicating learning is non-sequential. Female undergraduate students exhibited lower levels of learning than other populations. Conclusions: Implications of the study include a stronger dataset focus in post-secondary STEM education and among science educators, and the need for further investigation into how instructors can ameliorate the challenges faced by female undergraduate students.

description: Current gravitational microlensing surveys are observing hundreds of millions of stars in the Galactic bulge - which makes finding rare microlensing events a challenging tasks. In almost all previous works, microlensing events have been detected either by applying very strict selection cuts or manually inspecting tens of thousands of light curves. However, the number of microlensing events expected in the future space-based microlensing experiments forces us to consider fully-automated approaches. They are especially important for selecting binary-lens events that often exhibit complex light curve morphologies and are otherwise difficult to find. There are no dedicated selection algorithms for binary-lens events in the literature, which hampers their statistical studies. Here, we present two simple neural-network-based classifiers for detecting single and binary microlensing events. We demonstrate their robustness using OGLE-III and OGLE-IV data sets and show they perform well on microlensing events detected in data from the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF). Classifiers are able to correctly recognize ~98% of single-lens events and 80-85% of binary-lens events.

Essays on corporate social responsibility
Creators: name: Barnea, Amir
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is very high on corporations' agenda in recent years. CSR means different things to different stakeholders but generally refers to serving people, communities and the environment in a way that goes beyond what is legally required of a firm. In this paper-based dissertation we analyze some potential driving forces behind this corporate behavior. The first paper explores the role of Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) - making investment decisions according to both financial and ethical criteria. We analyze the effect of SRI on the investment decisions of firms that fail the screen ('polluting' firms) and on their decisions to adopt a CSR-approved technology. These issues are examined in an equilibrium setting with endogenous investment decisions. We find that the presence of socially responsible investors can lead to under-investment by polluting firms but their current proportion among all investors (11%) is not enough to induce polluting firms to change their technology. The second paper further explores the role of SRI in a richer theoretical framework. We model a capital market in which some investors get direct utility from owning firms that spend on CSR. We also assume different categories of firms: those with good CSR fundamentals and those with poor CSR fundamentals. In equilibrium, investors' CSR considerations shape their financial portfolio decisions, affect stock prices and influence corporate CSR spending decisions. We also examine optimal tax policy questions, looking to maximize total individual donations plus corporate CSR spending less the tax rebates given for such spending. The third paper argues that insiders (managers and large blockholders) who are affiliated with the firm may want to over-invest in CSR for their private benefit since it improves their reputation. We test this hypothesis by investigating the relation between firms' CSR ratings and their ownership and capital structure. We employ a unique dataset that sorts 3,000 US corporations according to their social record. We find that insiders' ownership and leverage are negatively related to the social rating of firms, while institutional ownership is uncorrelated with it. These results support the hypothesis that CSR is a source of a conflict between different shareholders.

description: We present the results of our morphological and spectral study of properties of the supernova remnant RX J1713.7-3946 based on data obtained with XMM-Newton. Highly inhomogeneous structures, such as the bright spots, filaments and dark voids, noted by Uchiyama et al. (2003), appear in the entire bright western portion of the shell. In addition two narrow rims are found which run parallel to each other from north to south in the western part of the remnant. No complex structures are seen in the interior region of the remnant. The X-ray spectra everywhere can be well represented with a power-law function of photon index ranging within Gamma = 2.0-2.8. A clear difference of spectra between the central dim region and the bright western portion is seen at lower energies. This differences can be ascribed either to an additional thermal component with electron temperature, kTe= 0.56keV from the center or, alternatively, to an increase in column density of Delta NH ~ 0.3 x 10^22 cm^-2 in the western region. In the context of the recent discovery by the NANTEN telescope of a molecular cloud apparently interacting with the western part of the supernova remnant, the second possibility seems to be the more likely scenario.

description: This paper describes the ICS PAS system which took part in CoNLL 2018 shared task on Multilingual Parsing from Raw Text to Universal Dependencies. The system consists of jointly trained tagger, lemmatizer, and dependency parser which are based on features extracted by a biLSTM network. The system uses both fully connected and dilated convolutional neural architectures. The novelty of our approach is the use of an additional loss function, which reduces the number of cycles in the predicted dependency graphs, and the use of self-training to increase the system performance. The proposed system, i.e. ICS PAS (Warszawa), ranked 3th/4th in the official evaluation obtaining the following overall results: 73.02 (LAS), 60.25 (MLAS) and 64.44 (BLEX).

description: A Hilbert module is a generalisation of a Hilbert space for which the inner product takes its values in a C*-algebra instead of the complex numbers. We use the bracket product to construct some Hilbert modules over a group C*-algebra which is generated by the group of translations associated with a wavelet. We shall investigate bracket products and their Fourier transform in the space of square integrable functions in Euclidean space. We will also show that some wavelets are associated with Hilbert modules over the space of essentially bounded functions over higher dimensional tori.

description: Due to the public goods characteristics of many ecosystem services and their vital importance to human welfare, various mechanisms have been put in place to motivate private landowners in the provision of ecosystem services. A common approach is to try to develop a comprehensive ecosystem services market where landowners can receive payments from beneficiaries of ecosystem services. Much research has been directed at developing methods for valuing the range of ecosystem services so that they can be incorporated into ecosystem services markets. However, valuation methods are difficult, expensive and time consuming. Other approaches to the provision of ecosystem services such as payments for ecosystem services usually focus on a single service like water or biodiversity. However, in the provision of a particular ecosystem service, there are spill-over effects of providing other ecosystem services, and thus studying those spill-over effects may provide a simple and cost-effective way of ensuring the provision of a wide range of ecosystem services. In New Zealand, there are a variety of forestry programs which provide incentives to landowners to plant trees on their lands to meet particular objectives, but which also produce other ES. This research aims to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the provision of a wide range of ES by these approaches, the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme, the East Coast Forestry Scheme, and the QEII National Trust.

description: Current quantum computer designs will not scale. To scale beyond small prototypes, quantum architectures will likely adopt a modular approach with clusters of tightly connected quantum bits and sparser connections between clusters. We exploit this clustering and the statically-known control flow of quantum programs to create tractable partitioning heuristics which map quantum circuits to modular physical machines one time slice at a time. Specifically, we create optimized mappings for each time slice, accounting for the cost to move data from the previous time slice and using a tunable lookahead scheme to reduce the cost to move to future time slices. We compare our approach to a traditional statically-mapped, owner-computes model. Our results show strict improvement over the static mapping baseline. We reduce the non-local communication overhead by 89.8\% in the best case and by 60.9\% on average. Our techniques, unlike many exact solver methods, are computationally tractable.

description: Recent approaches have achieved great success in image generation from structured inputs, e.g., semantic segmentation, scene graph or layout. Although these methods allow specification of objects and their locations at image-level, they lack the fidelity and semantic control to specify visual appearance of these objects at an instance-level. To address this limitation, we propose a new image generation method that enables instance-level attribute control. Specifically, the input to our attribute-guided generative model is a tuple that contains: (1) object bounding boxes, (2) object categories and (3) an (optional) set of attributes for each object. The output is a generated image where the requested objects are in the desired locations and have prescribed attributes. Several losses work collaboratively to encourage accurate, consistent and diverse image generation. Experiments on Visual Genome dataset demonstrate our model's capacity to control object-level attributes in generated images, and validate plausibility of disentangled object-attribute representation in the image generation from layout task. Also, the generated images from our model have higher resolution, object classification accuracy and consistency, as compared to the previous state-of-the-art.

Reflecting upon positionality and relationality is not a new process, but it takes on specific characteristics depending on the context in which research is being undertaken. For doctoral students, this issue can be particularly acute. The aim of this collection is to share with a wider audience the multiple standpoints and critical gazes that reverberate within and about Pacific scholarship.

Systematic Analysis of the Sensor Coverage of Automated Vehicles Using Phenomenological Sensor Models

description: The objective of this paper is to propose a systematic analysis of the sensor coverage of automated vehicles. Due to an unlimited number of possible traffic situations, a selection of scenarios to be tested must be applied in the safety assessment of automated vehicles. This paper describes how phenomenological sensor models can be used to identify system-specific relevant scenarios. In automated driving, the following sensors are predominantly used: camera, ultrasonic, \radar and \lidarohne. Based on the literature, phenomenological models have been developed for the four sensor types, which take into account phenomena such as environmental influences, sensor properties and the type of object to be detected. These phenomenological models have a significantly higher reliability than simple ideal sensor models and require lower computing costs than realistic physical sensor models, which represents an optimal compromise for systematic investigations of sensor coverage. The simulations showed significant differences between different system configurations and thus support the system-specific selection of relevant scenarios for the safety assessment of automated vehicles.

description: Agricultural and forestry greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are a key feature of New Zealand’s emissions profile, and New Zealand is the only country, to date, to have indicated that agricultural and forestry emissions will be covered under their domestic climate policy – the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (NZETS). Forestry entered the NZETS in 2008 while agricultural emissions are expected to enter in 2015. Coupled with climate policy development is the increasing scrutiny of agricultural impacts on water in New Zealand. Given the multiple forms of environmental regulation facing the agricultural and forestry industries we explore, at the catchment level, the impacts of climate policy on the agricultural and forestry industries, including those on farm returns, GHG emissions, carbon sequestration, water quality and induced land use change. We use the recently developed New Zealand Forest and Agriculture Regional Model (NZ-FARM) to assess potential economic and environmental impacts of a climate policy that imposes a series of carbon prices on GHG emissions of land-based production in the Manawatu and Hurunui/Waiau catchments in New Zealand.

description: This paper provides a concise introduction to and evaluation of the Lake Taupo nitrogen cap and trade program established as part of Waikato Regional Council's recent Regional Plan Variation Five. The policy establishes a catchment-wide cap on nitrogen losses by allocating farmers individual nitrogen discharge allowances and allowing those farmers flexibility to trade allowances amongst themselves and to sell allowances to a public fund while remaining within the overall catchment cap. This paper seeks to explain the structure and evolution of the nitrogen trading market and to analyse its impact thus far by drawing on a wide variety of relevant perspectives. Research drawn from written material and basic quantitative data provide the basis for analysing the policy, while interviews with relevant stakeholders provide insight into the successful, surprising and contentious issues which arose throughout its development and implementation.

description: Accurate and timely detection of medical adverse events (AEs) from free-text medical narratives is challenging. Natural language processing (NLP) with deep learning has already shown great potential for analyzing free-text data, but its application for medical AE detection has been limited. In this study we proposed deep learning based NLP (DL-NLP) models for efficient and accurate hip dislocation AE detection following total hip replacement from standard (radiology notes) and non-standard (follow-up telephone notes) free-text medical narratives. We benchmarked these proposed models with a wide variety of traditional machine learning based NLP (ML-NLP) models, and also assessed the accuracy of International Classification of Diseases (ICD) and Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes in capturing these hip dislocation AEs in a multi-center orthopaedic registry. All DL-NLP models out-performed all of the ML-NLP models, with a convolutional neural network (CNN) model achieving the best overall performance (Kappa = 0.97 for radiology notes, and Kappa = 1.00 for follow-up telephone notes). On the other hand, the ICD/CPT codes of the patients who sustained a hip dislocation AE were only 75.24% accurate, showing the potential of the proposed model to be used in largescale orthopaedic registries for accurate and efficient hip dislocation AE detection to improve the quality of care and patient outcome.

description: The complete one-loop planar dilatation operator of N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills is isomorphic to the hamiltonian of an integrable PSU(2,2|4) quantum spin chain. We construct the non-linear sigma models describing the continuum limit of the SU(1|3) and SU(2|3) sectors of the complete N=4 chain. We explicitely identify the spin chain sigma model with the one for a superstring moving in AdS_5xS^5 with large angular momentum along the five-sphere.

Developing Knowledge-Action Systems for Integrated Water Management in New Zealand

description: The development of agricultural productivity and the management of water along sustainable ecological, economic and social trajectories require an integrated approach. Integrated water management is knowledge intensive across multiple scales. As New Zealand moves to set limits on water quantity and quality and respond to changing environmental values, both of which have implications for agricultural productivity, it has become apparent that the links between knowledge, policy and on-ground action are often missing. As a potential means of reconnecting these missing connections, this paper outlines the theory and practice of knowledge-action systems and their potential role in the coproduction of knowledge and policy across organisational, knowledge and institutional boundaries.

description: This project looks at Foot of Lonsdale and Waterfront Park in the Lower Lonsdale neighbourhood of the City of North Vancouver. These are two sites with great potentials and unique waterfront locations but currently due to a series of complications and design, connection and circulation problems, are underutilized. The deficiencies and the potentials of these two sites are explored in this project and a new design is proposed. The goal of the design is to revitalize these sites through creating multi functional and diverse recreational and public facilities that can readily be enriched with a variety of cultural and commercial uses and are beneficial to the surrounding neighbourhoods at the local level and a destination point at the regional level. The new design attempts to reveal and celebrate the natural and urban settings in which the sites are found and to integrate them with each other and their surrounding in a clear yet stimulating manner.

description: We consider a model of a leaky quantum wire with the Hamiltonian $-Δ-αδ(x-Γ)$ in $L^2(\R^2)$, where $Γ$ is a compact deformation of a straight line. The existence of wave operators is proven and the S-matrix is found for the negative part of the spectrum. Moreover, we conjecture that the scattering at negative energies becomes asymptotically purely one-dimensional, being determined by the local geometry in the leading order, if $Γ$ is a smooth curve and $α\to\infty$.

description: The effect of surfactants on the tail and film dynamics of elongated gas bubbles propagating through circular capillary tubes is investigated by means of an extensive three-dimensional numerical study using a hybrid front-tracking/level-set method. The focus is on the visco-inertial regime, which occurs when the Reynolds number of the flow is much larger than unity. Under these conditions, `clean' bubbles exhibit interface undulations in the proximity of the tail \cite{Magnini_prf_2017}, with an amplitude that increases with the Reynolds number. We perform a systematic analysis of the impact of a wide range of surfactant properties, including elasticity, bulk surfactant concentration, solubility, and diffusivity, on the bubble and flow dynamics in the presence of inertial effects. The results show that the introduction of surfactants is effective in suppressing the tail undulations as they tend to accumulate near the bubble tail. Here, large Marangoni stresses are generated, which lead to a local `rigidification' of the bubble. This effect becomes more pronounced for larger surfactant elasticities and adsorption depths. At reduced surfactant solubility, a thicker rigid film region forms at the bubble rear, where a Couette film flow is established, while undulations still appear at the trailing edge of the downstream `clean' film region. In such conditions, the bubble length becomes an influential parameter, with short bubbles becoming completely rigid.
