description: The effects of pesticides on the health of non-target living organisms in agricultural areas are critically important aspects for their safe use. Their release into the environment is an inevitable aspect for predicting and evaluation of the risk of their application. Roundup, a glyphosate-based herbicide, has been designed as an effective pesticide against weeds and now is the most widely used agrochemicals around the world due to its highly specific action of the biosynthesis of certain amino acids in plants. Despite it is claimed to be low toxic for not-target organisms, due to its broad application Roundup and products of its degradation were detected in organisms of diverse animals and humans. In this review, we describe animal and human studies of general adverse effects of Roundup and its principal substance glyphosate with focus on endocrine disruption, oxidative stress and behavioral disorders. At mechanistic level, we focus on the potential toxicity of the herbicide Roundup and glyphosate as effectors of bioenergetic functions of mitochondria. Their effects on mitochondrial membrane potential and oxidative phosphorylation are among described to date critical components responsible for its toxicity. Finally, we discuss general molecular mechanisms potentially involved in the interaction between glyphosate and mitochondria which to some extent are associated with generation of reactive oxygen species.

Communication, power and tourism: Postcolonial dynamics in photographic and event tourism images in Oaxaca, Mexico
Creators: name: McGinnis, Laura Kathleen
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The global tourism industry has expanded significantly during the last century. Some scholars argue that modern tourism retains postcolonial dynamics---emphasizing a dominant group and a subjugated Other---and a growing body of literature has examined how visual materials associated with tourism reflect and reinforce these dynamics. This study attempts to answer two questions: Do tourism images---in both postcards and a staged tourism event---from Oaxaca, Mexico reflect and reinforce postcolonial stereotypes and power dynamics? And, if so, how? To answer these questions, this study employs a two-stage qualitative analysis of tourism images within a postcolonial framework. Findings suggest that postcolonial stereotypes and power dynamics are present in both postcards and tourist responses to the staged tourism event. Postcolonial theory, therefore, may be helpful in understanding the dynamics underlying host-tourist interaction in Oaxaca. However, these dynamics are complex and cannot be explained by postcolonialism alone.

description: The paper aims to evaluate the timing effect of support policies on farmers’ stated intentions in Turkey. Farmers are provided with a scenario in which supports would be paid immediately after the harvest rather than the current practice of being paid one year later. We ask how farmers would behave when the support payments are paid after the corn harvest. If the timing of the payment was changed, 41% of the farmers state that they would increase their land. However, if farmers compensate for the need for capital from other crops, such as citrus fruits, then the timing becomes unimportant.

description: The paper discusses the COM proposals for the new delivery model of the CAP post 2020 against the background of evaluation results of German Rural Development Programmes (pillar 2) from several funding periods. Empirical findings from quantitative and qualitative implementation cost analyses show an urgent need for fundamental amendments in terms of a significant reduction of administrative input. This requires an appropriate and proportionate implementation framework. Some approaches in the new delivery model, such as strengthening subsidiarity, address the problems identified. Other elements seems to be essentially geared to the needs of pillar 1 (direct payments). Results orientation and the future CAP strategy plan primarily serve to legitimise direct payments under severe justification pressure. Whether the implementation efficiency of the RDP will increase (without reducing their effectiveness) is open to question.

subject: Human society

description: Racial conflict continues to challenge communities across the United States. This study seeks to identify processes by which individuals build relationships across racial divides and to understand how these relationships influence attitudes and behaviors. A qualitative case study of Selma, Alabama was used, in part, because of the stark separation of the races that continues in the city. With relationships at the center of this study, ten young adults living in Selma were interviewed about the interracial relationships in their lives. This study was guided by a juxtaposition of contact theory, social network theory, and systems theory which allowed for a focus on interpersonal interaction and the intersection between micro-level interactions and macro-level social structure. Conclusions from this study highlight the dynamic nature of race relations in Selma. The power of interracial social trust in a community that has been plagued by interracial mistrust illuminate possibilities for social change at both the individual and community-wide levels.

description: In the search for experimental realizations of bond-anisotropic Kitaev interactions and resulting spin-liquid phases, the layered magnet $α$-RuCl$_3$ is a prime candidate. Its modelling typically involves Heisenberg, Kitaev, and symmetric off-diagonal $Γ$ interactions on the two-dimensional honeycomb lattice. However, recent neutron-scattering experiments point towards a sizeable magnetic interlayer coupling. Here we study three-dimensional exchange models for $α$-RuCl$_3$, for both possible $R\bar{3}$ and $C2/m$ crystal structures. We discuss the symmetry constraints on the interlayer couplings, construct minimal models, and use them to compute the magnetic mode dispersion and the dynamical spin structure factor, in both the zero-field zigzag phase and the paramagnetic high-field phase. Our predictions for the interlayer mode dispersion shall guide future experiments; they also call for a reevaluation of the quantitative model parameters relevant for $α$-RuCl$_3$.

description: The effects of a variable amount of random dilution of the synaptic couplings in Q-Ising multi-state neural networks with Hebbian learning are examined. A fraction of the couplings is explicitly allowed to be anti-Hebbian. Random dilution represents the dying or pruning of synapses and, hence, a static disruption of the learning process which can be considered as a form of multiplicative noise in the learning rule. Both parallel and sequential updating of the neurons can be treated. Symmetric dilution in the statics of the network is studied using the mean-field theory approach of statistical mechanics. General dilution, including asymmetric pruning of the couplings, is examined using the generating functional (path integral) approach of disordered systems. It is shown that random dilution acts as additive gaussian noise in the Hebbian learning rule with a mean zero and a variance depending on the connectivity of the network and on the symmetry. Furthermore, a scaling factor appears that essentially measures the average amount of anti-Hebbian couplings.

description: In the field of international conflict resolution, spirituality is yet to be fully acknowledged as a valuable element in efforts towards peace. The study presented here seeks to change this by illustrating the relationship between spirituality and conflict resolution from the perspective of the practitioner. It focuses specifically on whether and how spirituality plays a role as a motivator for conflict resolution work. Using the grounded theory methodology, through the coding and analysis of twelve interviews, this study explores transformational moments in the lives of conflict resolution practitioners and demonstrates a connection between spirituality and a drive towards conflict resolution work. Furthermore, the study discovers five key spiritual components that not only motivate practitioners but also make them better at their jobs. Finally, it concludes by stressing the positive effects of spirituality on conflict resolution, and recommends the incorporation of spirituality in conflict resolution work as well as in educational programs.

description: Network data analysis methods are the only way to properly separate real gravitational wave (GW) transient events from detector noise. They can be divided into two generic classes: the coincidence method and the coherent analysis. The former uses lists of selected events provided by each interferometer belonging to the network and tries to correlate them in time to identify a physical signal. Instead of this binary treatment of detector outputs (signal present or absent), the latter method involves first the merging of the interferometer data and looks for a common pattern, consistent with an assumed GW waveform and a given source location in the sky. The thresholds are only applied later, to validate or not the hypothesis made. As coherent algorithms use a more complete information than coincidence methods, they are expected to provide better detection performances, but at a higher computational cost. An efficient filter must yield a good compromise between a low false alarm rate (hence triggering on data at a manageable rate) and a high detection efficiency. Therefore, the comparison of the two approaches is achieved using so-called Receiving Operating Characteristics (ROC), giving the relationship between the false alarm rate and the detection efficiency for a given method. This paper investigates this question via Monte-Carlo simulations, using the network model developed in a previous article.

description: Recent advancements in the field of deep learning have enabled its application in Autonomous Driving Systems (ADS). A Deep Neural Network (DNN) model is often used to perform tasks such as pedestrian detection, object detection, and steering control in ADS. Unfortunately, DNN models could exhibit incorrect or unexpected behavior in real-world scenarios. There is a need to rigorously test these models with real-world driving scenarios so that safety-critical bugs can be detected before their deployment in the real world. In this paper, we propose a combinatorial approach to testing DNN models. Our approach generates test images by applying a set of combinations of some basic image transformation operations to a seed image. First, we identify a set of valid transformation operations or simply transformations. Next, we design an input parameter model based on the valid transformations and generate a t-way (t=2) combinatorial test set. Each test represents a combination of transformations, and can be used to produce a test image. We execute the test images on a DNN model and distinguish between consistent and inconsistent behavior using a relation. We conducted an experimental evaluation of our approach on three DNN models that are used in the Udacity challenge. Our results suggest that test images generated by our approach can effectively identify inconsistent behaviors and can significantly increase neuron coverage. To the best of our knowledge, our work is the first effort to use a combinatorial testing approach to generating test images based on image transformations for testing DNNs used in ADS.

description: The paper discusses the main findings of the ongoing evaluation of the focus area (FA) 2A of the 2014-2020 National Rural Development Programme Romania carried out in 2017 reflecting the programme implementation in 2016.. Focus area (FA) 2A aims at improving the economic performance of all farms and facilitating farm restructuring and modernisation, in order to increase market participation and orientation as well as agricultural diversification. The methodological approach applied to the evaluation combines administrative data collection and analysis, questionnaire survey, interviews, case studies, quantitative methods for indicator analysis, focus groups and counterfactual analysis. The paper focuses on the following aspects of the programme implementation: (1) the combination of new measures and measures using transitional resources, (2) measures promoting infrastructural investments and those investing in agricultural holdings, and (3) the use of the complementary result indicator R2. Concerning the investment measures the paper focuses on sub-measure 4.1 – Investments in agricultural holdings, and sub-measure 6.3 – business start-up aid for development of small farms. Concerning infrastructural measures, the paper examines sub-measure 4.3 – Investments for development, modernization or adaptation of agricultural and forestry infrastructure, which supports the construction and modernization of agricultural country roads. Moreover, the pilot estimate of the R2 indicator allows drawing lessons learned on the methodological feasibility of counterfactual methods, considering the lack of data on the comparison group and the needs of capturing the real outcomes of the Programme.

description: The widely used crystal structures for both heptazine-based and triazine-based two-dimensional (2D) graphitic carbon nitride (g-C$_3$N$_4$) are the flat P-6m2 configurations. However, the experimentally synthesized 2D g-C$_3$N$_4$ possess thickness ranging in 0.2-0.5 nm, indicating that the theoretically used flat P-6m2 configurations are not the correct ground states. In this work, we propose three new corrugated structures P321, P3m1 and Pca21 with energies of 66 (86), 77 (87) and 78 (89) meV/atom lower than that of the corresponding heptazine-based (triazine-based) g-C$_3$N$_4$ in flat P-6m2 configuration, respectively. These corrugated structures have very similar periodic patterns to the flat P-6m2 ones and they are difficult to be distinguished from each other according to their top-views. The optimized thicknesses of the three corrugated structures ranging in 1.347-3.142 Å are in good agreement with the experimental results. The first-principles results show that these corrugated structural candidates are also semiconductors with band gaps slightly larger than those of the correspondingly flat P-6m2 ones. Furthermore, they possess also suitable band edge positions for sun-light-driven water-splitting at both $pH=0$ and $pH=7$ environments. Our results show that these three new structures are more promising candidates for the experimentally synthesized g-C$_3$N$_4$.

description: Omega Centauri ($ω$ Cen) is the Milky Way's most massive globular cluster and is likely the stripped nucleus of an accreted dwarf galaxy. In this paper, we analyze $ω$ Cen's kinematics using data from oMEGACat, a comprehensive catalog of $ω$ Cen's central regions, including 1.4 million proper motion measurements and 300,000 spectroscopic radial velocities. Our velocity dispersion profiles and kinematic maps are consistent with previous work but improve on their resolution, precision, and spatial coverage. The cluster's 3D dispersion is isotropic in the core, with increasing radial anisotropy at larger radii. The 2D kinematic maps show an elongation of the velocity dispersion field comparable to the flattening observed photometrically. We find good agreement between proper motions and line-of-sight velocity dispersion and measure a kinematic distance of 5494$\pm$61 pc, the most precise kinematic distance to $ω$ Cen available. The subset of data with precise metallicity measurements shows no correlation between metallicity and kinematics, supporting the picture of well-mixed stellar populations within the half-light radius of $ω$ Cen. Finally, we study the degree of energy equipartition using a large range of stellar masses. We find partial energy equipartition in the center that decreases towards large radii. The spatial dependence of the radial energy equipartition is stronger than the tangential energy equipartition. Our kinematic observations can serve as a new reference for future dynamical modeling efforts that will help to further disentangle the complex mass distribution within $ω$ Cen.

description: Machine Learning (ML) models, a core component to artificial intelligence systems, often come as a black box to the user, leading to the problem of interpretability. Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is key to providing confidence and trustworthiness for machine learning-based software systems. We observe a fundamental connection between XAI and software fault localization. In this paper, we present an approach that uses BEN, a combinatorial testing- based software fault localization approach, to produce explanations for decisions made by ML models.

description: The aim of this study was to assess by a quantitative approach the impact of the Common Agricultural Policy in reducing the emigration and poverty in Romanian rural areas since 2007 to 2015 using the dataset published by the European Union in the FADN annual survey. In this research it has used the multiple regression model and the Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling. Findings have pointed out as the dependent variable people at risk of poverty correlates indirectly to the independent variable financial subsidies allocated in promoting the rural development and diversification and directly to the variable unemployed people.

description: Correlators of Wilson-line operators are fundamental ingredients for the study of the infrared properties of non-abelian gauge theories. In perturbation theory, they are known to exponentiate, and their logarithm can be organised in terms of collections of Feynman diagrams called webs. We study the classification of webs to high perturbative orders, proposing a set of tools to generate them recursively: in particular, we introduce the concept of Cweb, or correlator web, which is a set of skeleton diagrams built with connected gluon correlators, instead of individual Feynman diagrams. As an application, we enumerate all Cwebs entering the soft anomalous dimension matrix for multi-parton scattering amplitudes at four loops, and we compute the mixing matrices for all Cwebs connecting four or five Wilson lines at that loop order, verifying that they obey sum rules that were derived or conjectured in the literature. Our results provide the colour building blocks for the calculation of the soft anomalous dimension matrix at four-loop order.

description: This paper analyses the impact of government subsidy schemes in the Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MAPs) sector in Albania, applying the Propensity Score Matching Method combined with the “veteran” approach. This is the first time that “veteran” and comparative approach has been applied to research on policy impact assessment in Albania. The paper is based on a structured survey applied in 2015 in the region of Shkodra (northern Albania), the region where MAPs cultivation is concentrated. Results suggest that subsidies affect the planted area and yields but no impact on price (proxy for quality). The paper contributes to the literature not only in terms of the relevant empirical findings but also regarding the benefit of applying combined methods in policy impact assessment.

description: We propose a new dynamical model for capture of irregular moons which identifies chaos as the essential feature responsible for initial temporary gravitational trapping within a planet's Hill sphere. The key point is that incoming potential satellites get trapped in chaotic orbits close to "sticky" KAM tori in the neighbourhood of the planet, possibly for very long times, so that the chaotic layer largely dictates the final orbital properties of captured moons.

description: Classifier calibration does not always go hand in hand with the classifier's ability to separate the classes. There are applications where good classifier calibration, i.e. the ability to produce accurate probability estimates, is more important than class separation. When the amount of data for training is limited, the traditional approach to improve calibration starts to crumble. In this article we show how generating more data for calibration is able to improve calibration algorithm performance in many cases where a classifier is not naturally producing well-calibrated outputs and the traditional approach fails. The proposed approach adds computational cost but considering that the main use case is with small data sets this extra computational cost stays insignificant and is comparable to other methods in prediction time. From the tested classifiers the largest improvement was detected with the random forest and naive Bayes classifiers. Therefore, the proposed approach can be recommended at least for those classifiers when the amount of data available for training is limited and good calibration is essential.
On extremal quantum states of composite systems with fixed marginals

description: We study the convex set of all bipartite quantum states with fixed marginal states. The extremal states in this set have recently been characterized by Parthasarathy [Ann. Henri Poincaré (to appear), quant-ph/0307182, [1]]. Here we present an alternative necessary and sufficient condition for a state with given marginals to be extremal. Our approach is based on a canonical duality between bipartite states and a certain class of completely positive maps and has the advantage that it is easier to check and to construct explicit examples of extremal states. In dimension 2 x 2 we give a simple new proof for the fact that all extremal states with maximally mixed marginals are precisely the projectors onto maximally entangled wave functions. We also prove that in higher dimension this does not hold and construct an explicit example of an extremal state with maximally mixed marginals in dimension 3 x 3 that is not maximally entangled. Generalizations of this result to higher dimensions are also discussed.

description: Let $F(z)=z-H(z)$ with order $o(H(z))\geq 1$ be a formal map from $\bC^n$ to $\bC^n$ and $G(z)$ the formal inverse map of $F(z)$. We first study the deformation $F_t(z)=z-tH(z)$ of $F(z)$ and its formal inverse $G_t(z)=z+tN_t(z)$. (Note that $G_{t=1}(z)=G(z)$ when $o(H(z))\geq 2$.) We show that $N_t(z)$ is the unique power series solution of a Cauchy problem of a PDE, from which we derive a recurrent formula for $G_t(z)$. Secondly, motivated by the gradient reduction obtained by M. de Bondt, A. van den Essen \cite{BE1} and G. Meng \cite{M} for the Jacobian conjecture, we consider the formal maps $F(z)=z-H(z)$ satisfying the gradient condition, i.e. $H(z)=\nabla P(z)$ for some $P(z)\in \bC[[z]]$ of order $o(P(z))\geq 2$. We show that, under the gradient condition, $N_t(z)=\nabla Q_t(z)$ for some $Q_t(z)\in \bC[[z, t]]$ and the PDE satisfied by $N_t(z)$ becomes the $n$-dimensional inviscid Burgers' equation, from which a recurrent formula for $Q_t(z)$ also follows. Furthermore, we clarify some close relationships among the inversion problem, Legendre transform and the inviscid Burgers' equations. In particular the Jacobian conjecture is reduced to a problem on the inviscid Burgers' equations. Finally, under the gradient condition, we derive a binary rooted tree expansion inversion formula for $Q_t(z)$. The recurrent inversion formula and the binary rooted tree expansion inversion formula derived in this paper can also be used as computational algorithms for solutions of certain Cauchy problems of the inviscid Burgers' equations and Legendre transforms of the power series $f(z)$ of $o(f(z))\geq 2$.
