description: The idea of working with a near-critical phase-separated liquid mixture whereby the surface tension becomes weak, has recently made the field of laser manipulation of liquid interfaces a much more convenient tool in practice. The deformation of interfaces may become as large as several tenths of micrometers, even with the use of conventional laser power. This circumstance necessitates the use of nonlinear geometrical theory for the description of surface deformations. The present paper works out such a theory, for the surface deformation under conditions of axial symmetry and stationarity. Good agreement is found with the experimental results of Casner and Delville [A. Casner and J. P. Delville, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 87}, 054503 (2001); Opt. Lett. {\bf 26}, 1418 (2001); Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 90}, 144503 (2003)], in the case of moderate power or a broad laser beam. In the case of large power and a narrow beam, corresponding to surface deformations of about 50 micrometers or higher, the theory is found to over-predict the deformation. Possible explanations of this discrepancy are discussed.

description: Mexican emigration to the United States has a long history, from the bracero program from 1942 to 1964, with repeated swings and deportations to the most recent anti-immigrant measures implemented in the border states. In the community of San Mateo Ozolco, Puebla, emigration is constant and has become a center of communication and exchange with the migrant group in Philadelphia. As part of a local strategy to reduce these flows of young people, has installed a workshop in the community to transform the blue corn kernels originating in this community, pinole, toasted flour to make pastries and other foods in order to serve that market of nostalgia, as well as local and regional markets, to generate employment and income. In this value chain, the consumer is essential to meet your tastes and preferences, so it has sought to meet the quality, safety, packaging and presentation that demand for their products are competitive. Organization with which corn producers formalize their group, integrating working committees; Agro-industrial processing of corn consolidated and standardized processes. And the favorable economic performance, there are three products of that effort. Profitability has been achieved social, environmental and financial, to strengthen the identity, presence and recognition of cultural and economic importance of blue corn in the village and the municipality. Actions and efforts to preserve and improve it, in situ; preserving this resource. The financial analysis indicates a B / C ratio of 1.03, in addition to creating four permanent jobs and influence in the production of grain, in fact pay a premium (20%), for this grain.

description: Due to their high magnetic fields and plasma densities, pulsars provide excellent laboratories for tests of beyond Standard Model (BSM) physics. When axions or axion-like particles (ALPs) approach closely enough to pulsars, they can be resonantly converted to photons, yielding dramatic electromagnetic signals. We discuss the possibility of detecting such signals from bound configurations of axions, colliding with pulsar magnetospheres. We find that all but the densest axion stars, $\textit{oscillons}$, are tidally destroyed well before resonant conversion can take place. Oscillons can be efficiently converted to photons, leading to bright, ephemeral radio flashes. Observation of the galactic bulge using existing (Very Large Array and LOFAR) and forthcoming (Square Kilometer Array) radio missions has the potential to detect such events for axion masses in the range $m_a \in \left[0.1 \ μ\text{eV}, 200 \ μ\text{eV}\right]$, even if oscillons make up a negligible fraction of dark matter.

description: With the exponential growth of the life science literature, biomedical text mining (BTM) has become an essential technology for accelerating the extraction of insights from publications. Identifying named entities (e.g., diseases, drugs, or genes) in texts and their linkage to reference knowledge bases are crucial steps in BTM pipelines to enable information aggregation from different documents. However, tools for these two steps are rarely applied in the same context in which they were developed. Instead, they are applied in the wild, i.e., on application-dependent text collections different from those used for the tools' training, varying, e.g., in focus, genre, style, and text type. This raises the question of whether the reported performance of BTM tools can be trusted for downstream applications. Here, we report on the results of a carefully designed cross-corpus benchmark for named entity extraction, where tools were applied systematically to corpora not used during their training. Based on a survey of 28 published systems, we selected five for an in-depth analysis on three publicly available corpora encompassing four different entity types. Comparison between tools results in a mixed picture and shows that, in a cross-corpus setting, the performance is significantly lower than the one reported in an in-corpus setting. HunFlair2 showed the best performance on average, being closely followed by PubTator. Our results indicate that users of BTM tools should expect diminishing performances when applying them in the wild compared to original publications and show that further research is necessary to make BTM tools more robust.

description: Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist der Entwurf eines Kulturzentrums in der Stadt Klausenburg (ungarisch: Kolozsvár, rumänisch: Cluj-Napoca). Dieses soll sowohl städtebaulich neue fußläufige Wege ermöglichen, als auch funktional den zukünftigen Bedürfnissen der Stadt gerecht werden Die in Siebenbürgen liegende Stadt ist heute nach Bukarest - mit ihren rund 300.000 Einwohnern die zweitgrößte Stadt Rumäniens. Die Region besitzt trotz ihrer Randposition am Kontinent eine enge historische Bindung an Mitteleuropa und erfährt gerade im heutigen gemeinsamen europäischen Raum eine erneute steigende Präsenz. Eine Entwicklung, die durch den Fall des Eisernen Vorhangs ihren Anfang nahm und das Land nach einem halben Jahrhundert totalitären Sozialismus in eine europäische Demokratie wandelte. Für Klausenburg bedeutet dieser Prozess unter anderem die Aussicht auf den Titel 'Europäische Kulturhauptstadt' im Jahr 2021. An diese Entwicklung knüpft das in der Diplomarbeit entwickelte Konzept eines neuen Kulturzentrums an. Dieses versteht sich als eine Ergänzung und Erweiterung des kulturellen Angebotes der Stadt. Das Gebäude soll eine vertiefte Verbindung zwischen dem größten innerstädtischen Park und einem kleineren Hügelpark auf dem anderen Flussufer des 'kleinen Someschs' schaffen. Die derzeitige Wegeführung ist bei weitem nicht behindertengerecht und die Hügelkuppe nur über eine sehr steile Passage erreichbar. Der eingesetzte Bau erfolgt funktional vertikal im Berg bzw. der Hanglage folgend in terrassierter Form. Die Engstelle zwischen den beiden Parks erfährt dadurch eine neuerliche Aufwertung und eröffnet die Möglichkeit, über einen Aufzug jederzeit den Panoramaweg und den Park auf der Hügelkuppe zu erreichen.
description: The aim of the present thesis is the design of a cultural centre in the city of Cluj-Napoca. It should generate new pedestrian ways in an urban sense, as well as taking the future needs of the city already into count. Cluj-Napoca (Hungarian: Kolozsvár, German: Klausenburg) is located in the heart of Transylvania and is, after the capital Bucharest, the second largest city of Romania with its 300.000 inhabitants. The rich cultural heritage of the region is combined with a growing contemporary significance. For Cluj it is the opportunity of becoming the European Cultural Capital of 2021. Therefore this thesis proposes a new cultural centre as an extension of the city's current cultural program. The building itself should connect the two parks, a large central one and one located on the nearby hilltop overlooking the entire city centre. Current paths between the two are rather steep and have no wheelchair access. Ultimately the proposed building follows functionally vertically the hill and is embedded into a set of terraced landscapes. The existing bottleneck should thereby be enhanced and a new wheelchair access is granted to the hilltop

description: The use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in percutaneous revascularization of left-main coronary artery disease (LMCAD) warrants further exploration. We aimed to collate all available data on the merits of IVUS in LMCAD to help decision-making. The MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane databases were queried for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational cohort studies (OCS). The data were analyzed using random-effects model to calculate unadjusted odds ratio (OR) between IVUS-guided and angiography-only LMCA revascularization. A total of 14 studies (2 RCTs and 12 OCS), comprising 18944 patients, were included. The pooled odds of all-cause mortality (OR 0.57, 95%CI 0.46–0.70, p = <0.00001), cardiovascular mortality (OR 0.37, 95%CI 0.26–0.54, p = <0.00001), left-main revascularization (OR 0.63, 95%CI 0.45–0.89, p = 0.009) and myocardial infarction (OR 0.80, 95% CI 0.66–0.97, p = 0.02) were significantly lower with IVUS-guidance. There was no difference observed in the odds of the stent thrombosis (OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.31–1.05, p = 0.07) and stroke (OR 1.7, 95%CI 0.56–5.14, p = 0.35) between the two groups. A subgroup analysis based on the study design and follow-up duration mirrored the pooled estimates. IVUS-guided LMCA intervention is associated with overall improved cardiovascular outcomes than the angiography-only approach. This needs to be tested in a large randomized controlled trial.

We also discuss the importance of new mechanisms with intermediate exchange of vector and axial-vector mesons and the role played by the OZI rule in the $\Jϕππ$ vertex, quantifying its effects. The results nicely reproduce the experimental data for the invariant mass distributions in all the channels considered.

description: Quantum light is a key resource for promoting quantum technology. One such class of technology aims to improve the precision of optical measurements using engineered quantum states of light. In this study, we investigate transmission measurement of frequency-entangled broadband photon pairs generated via parametric down-conversion with a monochromatic laser. It is observed that state-to-state dynamics in the system under study are temporally resolved by adjusting the path difference between the entangled twin beams when the entanglement time is sufficiently short. The non-classical photon correlation enables time-resolved spectroscopy with monochromatic pumping. It is further demonstrated that the signal corresponds to the spectral information along anti-diagonal lines of, for example, two-dimensional Fourier-transformed photon echo spectra. This correspondence inspires us to anticipate that more elaborately engineered photon states would broaden the availability of quantum light spectroscopy.

description: We compare two transmission electron microscopy (TEM) based techniques that can provide highly spatially resolved quantitative measurements of magnetic induction fields at high sensitivity. To this end, the magnetic induction of a ferromagnetic NiFe nanowire has been measured and compared to micromagnetic modelling. State-of-the-art electron holography has been performed using the averaging of large series of holograms to improve the sensitivity of the measurements. These results are then compared those obtained from pixelated (or 4D) scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). This emerging technique uses a pixelated detector to image the local diffraction patterns as the beam is scanned over the sample. For each diffraction pattern, the deflection of the beam is measured and converted into magnetic induction, while scanning the beam allows to build a map. Aberration corrected Lorentz (field-free) configurations of the TEM and STEM were used for an improved spatial resolution. We show that the pixelated STEM approach, even when performed using an old generation of charge-coupled device camera, provides better sensitivity at the expense of spatial resolution. A more general comparison of the two techniques is given.

description: One of the main goals of Open Science is to make research more reproducible. There is no consensus, however, on what exactly "reproducibility" is, as opposed for example to "replicability", and how it applies to different research fields. After a short review of the literature on reproducibility/replicability with a focus on the humanities, we describe how the creation of the digital twin of the temporary exhibition "The Other Renaissance" has been documented throughout, with different methods, but with constant attention to research transparency, openness and accountability. A careful documentation of the study design, data collection and analysis techniques helps reflect and make all possible influencing factors explicit, and is a fundamental tool for reliability and rigour and for opening the "black box" of research.

description: Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) and angiotensin-receptor blocker (ARB) are cornerstones in the treatment of heart failure with reduced ejection (HFrEF). However, there are limited data on their risk-benefit profile in patients with acute heart failure requiring hospitalizations. We did a meta-analysis pooling data from all studies examining the use of ACEi/ARB in patients hospitalized for heart failure compared to patients without ACEi/ARB use. We calculated pooled hazard ratios (HR) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI) using a random-effects model. Twenty-five studies were included in the meta-analysis. Continued use of ACEi/ARBs in hospitalized patients with HFrEF was associated with lower 1-year mortality risk (pooled HR 0.68 [0.60–0.77] p p = 0.002). There were significant reductions in 1-year HF readmissions among hospitalized HFrEF patients (pooled HR 0.83 [0.73–0.95] p = 0.005). Maintaining or initiating patients with HFrEF hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) on ACEi/ARB is associated with a reduce risk of mortality and 1-year admissions, but the effect size is lower among those with HFpEF with more heterogeneous outcomes.

For compactifications on Calabi--Yau three--folds with Hodge numbers (h_1,h_2) such condition generalizes the half--flatness condition as used in the recent literature. We also discuss non--abelian extensions of the above gaugings and their consistency conditions.

description: When states file complaints at the WTO’s Dispute Settlement Body regarding another’s trade behaviour, they may be motivated to strategically promote their own national interests rather than work towards a collectively beneficial resolution. Using two cases related to aviation, I explore the evolution of trade rivalries in the WTO environment. I derive a hypothesis from the endogenous protection literature, that states that produce the same goods in a small and competitive market will be more likely to file a significant number of WTO disputes in order to block access to their own and foreign markets. Using the principal rivalry approach, I find that both disputes involve a mutual recognition of rivalry over the aviation sector, as well as the use of heightened diplomatic language. I expect that as more states begin to utilize the DSB, other dyads involved in the trade of highly specialized goods will be more likely to engage in this type of strategic behaviour.
An exploration of the role of planners in supporting local access to grocery stores
Creators: name: Wittgens, Margaret Suzanne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis explores the role of planners in supporting local access to grocery stores in Canadian cities. Grocery stores are an important neighbourhood feature- they not only provide access to nutritional food, they also contribute to neighbourhood vitality, acting as a hub for local economic activity and community life. In recent years, evidence has emerged that, as a result of grocery industry trends towards larger formats, access to grocery stores has diminished in areas of cities in North America and the United Kingdom. Planners have a role in ensuring that basic services—such as housing and water— are adequately provided. This thesis argues that grocery stores, as a basic service that contributes to individual and community health, warrant planning attention. However, grocery store access has not received systematic attention by the planning profession. There is little literature on the role that planners play in supporting grocery access. This thesis explores the opportunities and constraints facing planners in supporting local access to grocery stores. It is based on a review of relevant literature and on case studies of planning attention to grocery stores in Edmonton, Alberta and Vancouver, British Columbia. The research reveals that planners in these two cities recognize the importance of grocery stores and in some cases have undertaken efforts to improve grocery access. Typically, these efforts aim to address neighbourhood vitality rather than food access. The Vancouver and Edmonton experiences reveal the influence of political context on planner involvement in grocery access. They also indicate that planners play a key role in promoting an accessible built environment and illustrate that planners are wellpositioned to engage in community dialogue on grocery access needs; there is an opportunity to raise the profile of food access in discussions focused on neighbourhood vitality. This thesis concludes that there is a need to increase the connections between social planning and land use planning. Planners can play an important role in drawing attention to grocery access within various planning processes.
The massive analytic invariant charge in QCD

description: The low energy behavior of a recently proposed model for the massive analytic running coupling of QCD is studied. This running coupling has no unphysical singularities, and in the absence of masses displays infrared enhancement. The inclusion of the effects due to the mass of the lightest hadron is accomplished by employing the dispersion relation for the Adler D function. The presence of the nonvanishing pion mass tames the aforementioned enhancement, giving rise to a finite value for the running coupling at the origin. In addition, the effective charge acquires a "plateau-like" behavior in the low energy region of the timelike domain. This plateau is found to be in agreement with a number of phenomenological models for the strong running coupling. The developed invariant charge is applied in the processing of experimental data on the inclusive $τ$ lepton decay. The effects due to the pion mass play an essential role here as well, affecting the value of the QCD scale parameter $Λ$ extracted from these data. Finally, the massive analytic running coupling is compared with the effective coupling arising from the study of Schwinger-Dyson equations, whose infrared finiteness is due to a dynamically generated gluon mass. A qualitative picture of the possible impact of the former coupling on the chiral symmetry breaking is presented.

description: We propose a stellar model under the $f(\mathbb{T},\mathcal{T})$ gravity following Mazur-Mottola's conjecture [Mazur (2001), Mazur (2004)] known as gravastar which is generally believed as a viable alternative to black hole. The gravastar consists of three regions, viz., (I) Interior region, (II) Intermediate shell region, and (III) Exterior region. The pressure within the interior core region is assumed to be equal to the constant negative matter-energy density which provides a constant repulsive force over the thin shell region. The shell is assumed to be made up of fluid of ultrarelativistic plasma and following the Zel'dovich's conjecture of stiff fluid [Zeldovich (1972)] it is also assumed that the pressure which is directly proportional to the matter-energy density according to Zel'dovich's conjecture, does cancel the repulsive force exerted by the interior region. The exterior region is completely vacuum and it can be described by the Schwarzschild solution. Under all these specifications we find out a set of exact and singularity-free solutions of the gravastar presenting several physically valid features within the framework of alternative gravity, namely $f(\mathbb{T},\mathcal{T})$ gravity [Harko (2014)], where the part of the gravitational Lagrangian in the corresponding action is taken as an arbitrary function of torsion scalar $\mathbb{T}$ and the trace of the energy-momentum tensor $\mathcal{T}$.

description: The tetragonal ferrimagnetic Mn$_3$Ga exhibits a wide range of intriguing magnetic properties. Here, we report the emergence of topologically nontrivial nodal lines in the absence of spin orbit coupling (SOC) which are protected by both mirror and $C_{4z}$ rotational symmetries. In the presence of SOC we demonstrate that the doubly degenerate nontrivial crossing points evolve into $C_{4z}$-protected Weyl nodes with chiral charge of $\pm$2. Furthermore, we have considered the experimentally reported noncollinear ferrimagnetic structure, where the magnetic moment of the Mn$_I$ atom (on the Mn-Ga plane) is tilted by an angle $θ$ with respect to the crystallographic $c$ axis. The evolution of the Weyl nodes with $θ$ reveals that the double Weyl nodes split into a pair of charge-1 Weyl nodes whose separation can be tuned by the magnetic orientation in the noncollinear ferrimagnetic structure.

description: Large Language Models (LLMs) are widely used to evaluate natural language generation tasks as automated metrics. However, the likelihood, a measure of LLM's plausibility for a sentence, can vary due to superficial differences in sentences, such as word order and sentence structure. It is therefore possible that there might be a likelihood bias if LLMs are used for evaluation: they might overrate sentences with higher likelihoods while underrating those with lower likelihoods. In this paper, we investigate the presence and impact of likelihood bias in LLM-based evaluators. We also propose a method to mitigate the likelihood bias. Our method utilizes highly biased instances as few-shot examples for in-context learning. Our experiments in evaluating the data-to-text and grammatical error correction tasks reveal that several LLMs we test display a likelihood bias. Furthermore, our proposed method successfully mitigates this bias, also improving evaluation performance (in terms of correlation of models with human scores) significantly.

description: We investigate the effect of a density gradient on Chandrasekhar's dynamical friction formula based on the method of 2-body encounters in the local approximation. We apply these generalizations to the orbit evolution of satellite galaxies in Dark Matter haloes. We find from the analysis that the main influence occurs through a position-dependent maximum impact parameter in the Coulomb logarithm, which is determined by the local scale-length of the density distribution. We also show that for eccentric orbits the explicit dependence of the Coulomb logarithm on position yields significant differences for the standard homogeneous force. Including the velocity dependence of the Coulomb logarithm yields ambigous results. The orbital fits in the first few periods are further improved, but the deviations at later times are much larger. The additional force induced by the density gradient, the inhomogeneous force, is not antiparallel to the satellite motion and can exceed 10% of the homogeneous friction force in magnitude. However, due to the symmetry properties of the inhomogeneous force, there is a deformation and no secular effect on the orbit at the first order. Therefore the inhomogeneous force can be safely neglected for the orbital evolution of satellite galaxies. For the homogeneous force we compare numerical N-body calculations with semi-analytical orbits to determine quantitatively the accuracy of the generalized formulae of the Coulomb logarithm in the Chandresekhar approach. With the local scale-length as the maximum impact parameter we find a significant improvement of the orbital fits and a better interpretation of the quantitative value of the Coulomb logarithm.

description: В статье рассматривается творчество Мирры Ивановны Лот-Бородиной — первой православной женщины-богослова русского зарубежья, исследовавшей византийскую мысль. Отмечается, что работы М. И. Лот-Бородиной вписываются в традицию неопатристического синтеза, т. е. возрождения патристики в ХХ в. В ее творчестве можно выделить две главные темы. Во-первых, это проблематика обожения. Цикл из трех статей «Доктрина обожения в греческой Церкви до XI в.» был написан специально для «Журнала по истории религий» в 1931–1932 гг. и посмертно издан отдельной книгой. В нем Лот-Бородина проанализировала традицию апофатического богословия, а также ключевые понятия образа и подобия Божиих. Она стремилась раскрыть подлинную сущность обожения и всего мистического опыта в традиции греческих отцов. В этой связи исследовательница рассмотрела смысл христианского страдания и аскезы, телесного аспекта обожения, таинств, особенно Евхаристии. Кроме того, Лот-Бородина опубликовала ряд статей, посвященных св. Николаю Кавасиле, также посмертно изданных отдельной книгой. Согласно Лот-Бородиной, основная тема творчества св. Николая Кавасилы — божественная любовь, а его концепция может быть охарактеризована как «христианский гуманизм». Труды М. И. Лот-Бородиной являются глубокими и значимыми работами в области византинистики.

description: Many-particle entanglement is a key resource for achieving the fundamental precision limits of a quantum sensor. Optical atomic clocks, the current state-of-the-art in frequency precision, are a rapidly emerging area of focus for entanglement-enhanced metrology. Augmenting tweezer-based clocks featuring microscopic control and detection with the high-fidelity entangling gates developed for atom-array information processing offers a promising route towards leveraging highly entangled quantum states for improved optical clocks. Here we develop and employ a family of multi-qubit Rydberg gates to generate Schrödinger cat states of the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) type with up to 9 optical clock qubits in a programmable atom array. In an atom-laser comparison at sufficiently short dark times, we demonstrate a fractional frequency instability below the standard quantum limit using GHZ states of up to 4 qubits. However, due to their reduced dynamic range, GHZ states of a single size fail to improve the achievable clock precision at the optimal dark time compared to unentangled atoms. Towards overcoming this hurdle, we simultaneously prepare a cascade of varying-size GHZ states to perform unambiguous phase estimation over an extended interval. These results demonstrate key building blocks for approaching Heisenberg-limited scaling of optical atomic clock precision.

description: Accurate 3D imaging is essential for machines to map and interact with the physical world. While numerous 3D imaging technologies exist, each addressing niche applications with varying degrees of success, none have achieved the breadth of applicability and impact that digital image sensors have achieved in the 2D imaging world. A large-scale two-dimensional array of coherent detector pixels operating as a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) system could serve as a universal 3D imaging platform. Such a system would offer high depth accuracy and immunity to interference from sunlight, as well as the ability to directly measure the velocity of moving objects. However, due to difficulties in providing electrical and photonic connections to every pixel, previous systems have been restricted to fewer than 20 pixels. Here, we demonstrate the first large-scale coherent detector array consisting of 512 ($32 \times 16$) pixels, and its operation in a 3D imaging system. Leveraging recent advances in the monolithic integration of photonic and electronic circuits, a dense array of optical heterodyne detectors is combined with an integrated electronic readout architecture, enabling straightforward scaling to arbitrarily large arrays. Meanwhile, two-axis solid-state beam steering eliminates any tradeoff between field of view and range. Operating at the quantum noise limit, our system achieves an accuracy of $3.1~\mathrm{mm}$ at a distance of 75 metres using only $4~\mathrm{mW}$ of light, an order of magnitude more accurate than existing solid-state systems at such ranges. Future reductions of pixel size using state-of-the-art components could yield resolutions in excess of 20 megapixels for arrays the size of a consumer camera sensor. This result paves the way for the development and proliferation of low cost, compact, and high performance 3D imaging cameras.

description: Tanulmányunkban röviden bemutatjuk az Észak-Borsodi LEADER térséget, majd a LEADER vidékfejlesztési programot a térségben megvalósult projektek segítségével. A kistérség 4 mikrotérségből áll, Sajó-, Nádasd- és Hangony-völgye és a Bükki Hegyhát, mely összesen 30 települést foglal magába. Rengeteg lehetőség rejlik ezen a területen mind a természeti adottságok, a kultúra és a közösség tagjai által. A jelenben és a jövőben a turizmus mellett egyaránt nagy szerepe van a közösségi programoknak. A sikeres közösségfejlesztő programok, projektek megvalósulása érdekében a mikrotérségekben elengedhetetlen a civil, az önkormányzati és a vállalkozói szféra együttműködése. A vidékfejlesztést egy olyan szemszögből közelítjük meg, mely főként a helyi közösségek életszínvonalának és identitástudatának fejlesztését mutatja be. A már megvalósított sikeres programok által beigazolódik az, hogy működik az alulról jövő kezdeményezés. A helyiek fő célja, hogy a fiatalok és idősek számára egyaránt megfelelő kínálatot biztosítsanak, szem előtt tartva a generációk közötti párbeszéd kialakítását. Célunk az, hogy bemutassuk a LEADER programok közösségformáló erejét, eredményeit és hatásait. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In our monograph we would like to present the area of North Borsod and their rural development strategy, based on the LEADER Program and some successful project. The region has 4 micro- region, the Sajó-, Nádasd- and Hangony valley and the Bükki Hegyhát, with 30 villages. The territory has many opportunities thanks to its cultural and environmental heritage and also because of the local community. Not only the touristic projects, but the different kind of community programs has an important role also in the present, as much as in the future. The successful local community building projects need a very strong collaboration between the three – public, civil and business –sectors. We would like to present the rural development in a different aspect: how to develop the quality of life and the identity of the local communities. Through the successfully implemented projects we would like to show how are working the bottom-up initiations. The aim of the local citizens is to create a supply also for the elder and the young people with the collaboration of the generations. Our target is to show the community-forming effect of the LEADER program.
