description: A first-principles based methodology for efficiently and accurately finding thermodynamically stable and metastable atomic structures is introduced and benchmarked. The approach is demonstrated for gas-phase metal-oxide clusters in thermodynamic equilibrium with a reactive (oxygen) atmosphere at finite pressure and temperature. It consists of two steps. At first, the potential-energy surface is scanned by means of a global-optimization technique, i.e., a massive-parallel first-principles cascade genetic algorithm for which the choice of all parameters is validated against higher-level methods. In particular, we validate a) the criteria for selection and combination of structures used for the assemblage of new candidate structures, and b) the choice of the exchange-correlation functional. The selection criteria are validated against a fully unbiased method: replica-exchange molecular dynamics. Our choice of the exchange-correlation functional, the van-der-Waals-corrected PBE0 hybrid functional, is justified by comparisons up to highest level currently achievable within density-functional theory, i.e., the renormalized second-order perturbation theory, rPT2. In the second step, the low-energy structures are analyzed by means of ab initio atomistic thermodynamics in order to determine compositions and structures that minimize the Gibbs free energy at given temperature and pressure of the reactive atmosphere.

description: This study compares the faking resistance of Likert scales and graded paired comparisons (GPCs) analyzed with Thurstonian IRT models. We analyzed whether GPCs are more resistant to faking than Likert scales by exhibiting lower score inflation and better recovery of applicants’ true (i.e., honest) trait scores. A total of N = 573 participants completed either the Likert or GPC version of a personality questionnaire first honestly and then in an applicant scenario. Results show that participants were able to increase their scores in both the Likert and GPC format, though their score inflation was smaller in the GPC than the Likert format. However, GPCs did not exhibit higher honest–faking correlations than Likert scales; under certain conditions, we even observed negative associations. These results challenge mean score inflation as the dominant paradigm for judging the utility of forced-choice questionnaires in high-stakes situations. Even if forced-choice factor scores are less inflated, their ability to recover true trait standings in high-stakes situations might be lower compared with Likert scales. Moreover, in the GPC format, faking effects correlated almost perfectly with the social desirability differences of the corresponding statements, highlighting the importance of matching statements equal in social desirability when constructing forced-choice questionnaires.

description: This meta-analysis examined biases in personnel selection owing to applicants' use of non-standard language such as ethnic and migration-based language varieties or regional dialects. The analysis summarized the results of 22 studies with a total N of 3615 raters that compared applicants with an accent or dialect with applicants speaking standard language. The primary studies used different standard and non-standard languages and assessed different dependent variables related to hiring decisions in job interviews. The k = 109 effect sizes (Hedges' g) were assigned to the dependent variables of competence, warmth, and hirability. Non-standard speakers were rated as less competent (δ = −0.70), less warm (δ = −0.17), and less hirable (δ = −0.51) compared to standard speakers. Thus, at the same level of competence, non-standard speakers are rated lower than standard speakers and might, therefore, be disadvantaged in personnel selection contexts. We also considered several potential moderator variables (e.g., applicants' specific language variety, raters' own use of non-standard language, and raters' background) but only found rather limited support for them. Furthermore, publication bias had only limited effects. Practical implications for personnel selection are discussed.
Measuring Economic Uncertainty for Poland

description: Measuring economic uncertainty is challenging, but it is important for policymakers to address it, especially in countries for which there are virtually no uncertainty indices. This article proposes an index of economic uncertainty for Poland, EURQPL, based on Internet searches for specific terms to capture the level of uncertainty perceived by Internet-using economic agents. Compared to Bontempi et al. (2021) who analysed the US and Italy, the change of country, the use of either Polish or English in the definition of queries and the creation of regional indices offer interesting insights. The national index peaks at times commonly considered uncertain, such as the financial crisis and the coronavirus pandemic. Compared to the EURQ for the US and Italy, our index has a significant peak due to the teachers’ strike, a shock not reported in the literature. Particularly relevant are the terms related to social security and fiscal policy; uncertainty shocks have persistent effects on unemployment. Besides confirming how successfully Internet searches can be exploited in economic research, we highlight how regional indices can be used to study the impact of uncertainty on local economies.

description: Understanding the intraindividual relation between an individual's speed and ability in testing scenarios is essential to assure a fair assessment. Different approaches exist for estimating this relationship, that either rely on specific study designs or on specific assumptions. This paper aims to add to the toolbox of approaches for estimating this relationship. We propose the intraindividual speed-ability-relation (ISAR) model, which relies on nonstationarity of speed and ability over the course of the test. The ISAR model explicitly models intraindividual change in ability and speed within a test and assesses the intraindividual relation of speed and ability by evaluating the relationship of both latent change variables. Model estimation is good, when there are interindividual differences in speed and ability changes in the data. In empirical data from PISA, we found that the intraindividual relationship between speed and ability is not universally negative for all individuals and varies across different competence domains and countries. We discuss possible explanations for this relationship.
Regionalism and liberal nationalism in the European Union. A case Sui Generis?

description: Ernst B. Haas pioneered the formation of European integration studies outside the field of International Relations. The European Coal and Steal Community of 1951 was already more supranational than any existing international organisation to date. Supranationalism subsequently expanded with European integration. In his attempt to account for the supranationalism of European regionalism, Haas had developed his neofunctionalism as a general theory, which could be applied to other regions as well as the global level. EU scholars, in contrast, began to treat the EU as a case sui generis insisting on its unique supranational nature. The paper revisits the question of the uniqueness of European regionalism. Combining Ernst Haas’ works on supranational regionalism and liberal nationalism, the EU is approached as a strong form of supranational regionalism that has transformed interstate relations in Europe towards what he called ‘cosmopolitan internationalism’. The paper argues that liberal nationalism is neither a necessary nor a sufficient condition for this transformation. It, however, provides an explanation for the contestation of the EU as a model of liberal regionalism by non-liberal forms of nationalism.

description: The paper advances the view that environmental diseconomies occasioned by oil industry activities in Nigeria have to a large extent contributed to the lingering crisis in the Niger Delta area, where the bulk of the country’s oil and gas is produced. Against this background, the framework for environmental policy and strategies adopted by oil operators is reviewed. It is revealed that the role which communities could play towards minimising negative environmental incidents and related social crises, has been largely neglected by the various legislations and environmental management strategies adopted by petroleum operators. The authors suggest the fostering of sustainable partnerships between oil operators and host communities through appropriate memoranda of understanding, in order to address problems arising from such issues as compensation for environmental damage, impact assessment, management of spills, pipeline surveillance, information management, conflict resolution, and decentralisation of responsibility for abatement programmes.

description: Charting a solid path for Africa's future development requires a good understanding of the factors that shape the past and current growth processes. This calls for an objective narrative of Africa's growth process. Section I addresses the key elements cf structw al economic transformations and identifies the opportunities for structural transformation in Africa. This explains the key risks and challenges that are likely to affect Africa's growth prospects in the years ahead are. Africa needs to develop its capacity to produce sophisticated, bigher-value goods for which it's demands rise globally as income increases. The myriad opportunities in agro-industrial and extractive-value chain linkages, wide scope for economic diversification, rising urbanization, and emerging middle class make this more appealing.

Equivalence of ADM Hamiltonian and Effective Field Theory approaches at next-to-next-to-leading order spin1-spin2 coupling of binary inspirals

description: The next-to-next-to-leading order spin1-spin2 potential for an inspiralling binary, that is essential for accuracy to fourth post-Newtonian order, if both components in the binary are spinning rapidly, has been recently derived independently via the ADM Hamiltonian and the Effective Field Theory approaches, using different gauges and variables. Here we show the complete physical equivalence of the two results, thereby we first prove the equivalence of the ADM Hamiltonian and the Effective Field Theory approaches at next-to-next-to-leading order with the inclusion of spins. The main difficulty in the spinning sectors, which also prescribes the manner in which the comparison of the two results is tackled here, is the existence of redundant unphysical spin degrees of freedom, associated with the spin gauge choice of a point within the extended spinning object for its representative worldline. After gauge fixing and eliminating the unphysical degrees of freedom of the spin and its conjugate at the level of the action, we arrive at curved spacetime generalizations of the Newton-Wigner variables in closed form, which can also be used to obtain further Hamiltonians, based on an Effective Field Theory formulation and computation. Finally, we make use of our validated result to provide gauge invariant relations among the binding energy, angular momentum, and orbital frequency of an inspiralling binary with generic compact spinning components to fourth post-Newtonian order, including all known sectors up to date.

description: Miniaturized specimens, such as mini-CT specimens and Small Punch (SP) specimens, are a solid alternative when characterizing the fracture behavior of structural materials but there are restrictions related to the amount of material available, irradiation issues or material inhomogeneities, among other possible concerns. Moreover, in ferritic-pearlitic steels, fracture characterization is of particular interest within the ductile-tobrittle transition zone (DBTZ), and it is often performed through the definition of the Reference Temperature (T0) and the Master Curve (MC) methodology. The use of mini-CT specimens has been validated in a number of steels used in the nuclear industry, but its application in other types of ferritic-pearlitic steels is very limited. In this regard, this work provides an overview of the fracture characterization results (T0) in structural steel S275JR, which have been obtained by using conventional standardized Compact-Tension (CT) specimens, mini-CT specimens and SP specimens. This steel is a low carbon non-alloyed steel which is widely used in civil engineering structures. Here, it is shown how, for this particular structural steel, the use of miniaturized specimens provides T0 estimations which are comparable to those values obtained from conventional larger specimens, and also that the MC approach accurately reflects the fracture behavior in the DBTZ.

description: This study utilizes nanoscale Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (nanoFTIR) to perform stable isotope probing (SIP) on individual bacteria cells cultured in the presence of 13C-labelled glucose. SIP-nanoFTIR simultaneously quantifies single-cell metabolism through infrared spectroscopy and acquires cellular morphological information via atomic force microscopy. The redshift of the amide I peak corresponds to the isotopic enrichment of newly synthesized proteins. These observations of single-cell translational activity are comparable to those of conventional methods, examining bulk cell numbers. Observing cells cultured under conditions of limited carbon, SIP- nanoFTIR is used to identify environmentally-induced changes in metabolic heterogeneity and cellular morphology. Individuals outcompeting their neighboring cells will likely play a disproportionately large role in shaping population dynamics during adverse conditions or environmental fluctuations. Additionally, SIP-nanoFTIR enables the spectroscopic differentiation of specific cellular growth phases. During cellular replication, subcellular isotope distribution becomes more homogenous, which is reflected in the spectroscopic features dependent on the extent of 13C-13C mode coupling or to specific isotopic symmetries within protein secondary structures. As SIP-nanoFTIR captures single-cell metabolism, environmentally-induced cellular processes, and subcellular isotope localization, this technique offers widespread applications across a variety of disciplines including microbial ecology, biophysics, biopharmaceuticals, medicinal science, and cancer research.

description: Motion of particles in many systems exhibits a mixture between periods of random diffusive like events and ballistic like motion. In many cases, such systems exhibit strong anomalous diffusion, where low order moments $< |x(t)|^q >$ with $q$ below a critical value $q_c$ exhibit diffusive scaling while for $q>q_c$ a ballistic scaling emerges. The mixed dynamics constitutes a theoretical challenge since it does not fall into a unique category of motion, e.g., the known diffusion equations and central limit theorems fail to describe both aspects. In this paper we resolve this problem by resorting to the concept of infinite density. Using the widely applicable Lévy walk model, we find a general expression for the corresponding non-normalized density which is fully determined by the particles velocity distribution, the anomalous diffusion exponent $α$ and the diffusion coefficient $K_α$. We explain how infinite densities play a central role in the description of dynamics of a large class of physical processes and discuss how they can be evaluated from experimental or numerical data.

description: Positive affect and hope contribute to individuals’ psychological adjustment and positive youth development. The purpose of the study was to examine growth in positive and negative affect as well as state hope in Chinese adolescents in a juvenile correctional institution. We also investigated whether distinct trajectories of affect and hope predicted mental health and externalizing, internalizing, and prosocial behavior. The study included 198 male adolescents in a Chinese juvenile correctional institution and comprised nine measurement points (T1-T9) which were one week apart, respectively. Positive and negative affect and state hope were assessed from T1 to T8, and mental health and internalizing, externalizing, and prosocial behavior were measured at T9. Analyses of latent growth curve and latent class growth models were estimated. It was found that positive and negative affect, as well as state hope, decreased over time. Youth in classes characterized by higher state hope and lower negative affect reported better mental health than youth in classes characterized by lower levels of these constructs. Because of the beneficial effects of lower negative affect and higher state hope on mental health and internalizing, externalizing, and prosocial behavior, interventions strengthening hope and reducing negative affect may promote positive youth development in juvenile correctional institutions.

description: Ascorbate peroxidases (APX) serve as an important hydrogen peroxide-scavenging enzyme and protect plants against oxidative damage. In the present study, five APX genes (CsAPXs) were identified in the genome of Citrus sinensis using bioinformatic methods. CsAPXs encoded polypeptides of 250 to 436 residues length with molecular weights ranging from 27.56 to 47.34 kDa. Moreover, the isoelectric point of CsAPXs varied from 5.64 to 8.63. CsAPXs were predicted to be located in peroxisome, chloroplast or mitochondrion. In addition, CsAPXs unequally distributed in four chromosomes and had eight orthologous gene pairs with Arabidopsis thaliana. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the CsAPXs were divided into four clades. All the CsAPXs contained a conserved APX domain and six common motifs. Promoter analysis showed that CsAPXs could response to abscisic acid, auxin, ethylene, gibberellin, Methyl jasmonate, salicylic acid and wounding stress treatments. Furthermore, expression patterns analysis indicated that citrus Huanglongbing dynamic distributing the expression of CsAPXs. These findings would provide new insights for further functional analysis of the CsAPXs.

This provides a complete set of reference scaling functions to describe in a consistent way both $(e, e')$ processes and the neutrino/antineutrino-nucleus reactions in the quasielastic region. A comparison of the model predictions with electron and neutrino scattering data is presented.

description: The novel potassium sulfido cobaltate, K2[Co3S4] is introduced, with 25% vacancies of the cobalt positions within a layered anionic sublattice. The impedance and dielectric investigations indicate a remarkable ionic conductivity of 21.4 mS cm−1 at room temperature, which is in the range of highest ever reported values for potassium-ions, as well as a high electrical permittivity of 2650 at 1 kHz, respectively. Magnetometry results indicate an antiferromagnetic structure with giant intrinsic exchange bias fields of 0.432 and 0.161 T at 3 and 20 K respectively, potentially induced by a combination of the interfacial effect of combined magnetic anionic and nonmagnetic cationic sublattices, as well as partial spin canting. The stability of the exchange bias behavior is confirmed by a training effect of less than 18% upon 10 hysteresis cycles. The semiconductivity of the material is determined, both experimentally and theoretically, with a bandgap energy of 1.68 eV. The findings render this material as a promising candidate for both, active electrode material in potassium-ion batteries, and for spintronic applications.

description: В очерках представлены разработанные автором в разные годы эмпирико-статистические модели, вскрывающие причинные механизмы структурно-функциональной организации и климатогенной динамики лесных экосистем на примере как равнинных, так и горных территорий. В созданных моделях географическая экология приобретает эффективный формализованный инструмент анализа и прогноза, который использует методы дискретной математики для обработки и обобщения массового эмпирического материала, получаемого при полевых и камеральных ландшафтных исследованиях. В очерках последовательно излагаются: 1) принципы и методы дискретного эмпирико-статистического моделирования пространственной организации разнопорядковых гео(эко-)систем; 2) концепция о географических экотонах как о первоочередных объектах изучения воздействия человека на природу; 3) численные методы регионального и локального ландшафтно-экологического прогнозирования; 4) региональная палео-прогнозная концепция, рассматривающая прогнозируемые эколого-географические сценарии и их палеогеографические аналоги как единую региональную систему глобальных изменений природной среды; 5) топо-экологическая прогнозная концепция «Глобальные изменения на локальном уровне» как научно-методическая основа геосистемного мониторинга; 6) применение методов ландшафтной экологии в оценках биологического круговорота и углеродного баланса лесных экосистем при изменениях климата; 7) методы исчисления функционалной устойчивости локальных и зонально-региональных лесных сообществ на основе дискретных параметров биологического круговорота.

description: На примере экспериментального полигона «Вулкан Менделеева» на о-ве Кунашир (Курильская островная дуга) проведено эмпирико-статистическое моделирование дискретных параметров биологического круговорота в островных бореальных лесах Северо-Западной Пацифики. Установлено, что темнохвойные и хвойно-широколиственные островодужные леса отличаются от своих внутриконтинентальных аналогов более резко выраженной стратегией создания максимальной биомассы, с высокой продуктивностью, сближающей их с субтропическими лесами. При этом исключительно большая доля зеленой массы в структуре продукционного процесса ведет к ускорению биологического круговорота, что способствует устойчивости лесных сообществ. Соответственно обеспечивается выживание островных лесов бореального пояса в неблагоприятных для них условиях «холодной» океаничности.
Pre-breakdown cavitation development in the dielectric fluid in the inhomogeneous, pulsed electric fields

description: We consider the development of pre-breakdown cavitation nanopores appearing in the dielectric fluid under the influence of the electrostrictive stresses in the inhomogeneous pulsed electric field. It is shown that three characteristic regions can be distinguished near the needle electrode. In the first region, where the electric field gradient is greatest, the cavitation nanopores, occurring during the voltage nanosecond pulse, may grow to the size at which an electron accelerated by the field inside the pores can acquire enough energy for excitation and ionization of the liquid on the opposite pore wall, i.e., the breakdown conditions are satisfied. In the second region, the negative pressure caused by the electrostriction is large enough for the cavitation initiation (which can be registered by optical methods), but, during the voltage pulse, the pores do not reach the size at which the potential difference across their borders becomes sufficient for ionization or excitation of water molecules. And, in the third, the development of cavitation is impossible, due to an insufficient level of the negative pressure: in this area, the spontaneously occurring micropores do not grow and collapse under the influence of surface tension forces. This paper discusses the expansion dynamics of the cavitation pores and their most probable shape.

description: The study of many-body quantum dynamics in strongly correlated systems is extremely challenging. To date, few numerical methods exist that are capable of simulating the non-equilibrium dynamics of two-dimensional quantum systems, which is partly due to complexity theoretic obstructions. In this work, we present a technique able to overcome this obstacle, by combining continuous unitary flow techniques with the newly developed method of scrambling transforms. We overcome the assumption that approximately diagonalizing the Hamiltonian cannot lead to reliable predictions for relatively long times. Rather, we show that the method achieves good accuracy in both localized and delocalized phases and makes reliable predictions for a number of quantities including infinite-temperature autocorrelation functions. We complement our findings with rigorous incremental bounds on the truncation error. Our approach shows that, in practice, the exploration of intermediate-scale time evolution may be more feasible than is commonly assumed, challenging near-term quantum simulators.

description: В обзоре приводится критический анализ классификаций жизненных форм травянистых растений, предложенных российскими учеными c начала XX в. по настоящее время. Рассмотрены различные трактовки понятия «жизненная форма растения» и проанализированы классификации, основанные на сходстве во внешнем облике подземных и надземных частей растений на фоне продолжительности их развития, количества плодоношений, наличия одревесневающих частей и вегетативной подвижности. Жизненная форма растения трактуется автором не только как морфологическая и экологическая категория, что наиболее часто подчеркивают исследователи, но и генетическая, физиологическая, филогенетическая и т.п. Таким образом, жизненная форма есть общебиологическая категория в самом широком смысле слова а подобный подход открывает новые возможности для работы в области классификации биоморфологического разнообразия растений. Проведенный анализ структурного разнообразия трав позволил автору составить собственную классификацию жизненных форм для стержнекорневых травянистых растений. Наименьшими таксономическими единицами данной схемы выступают модели структурной организации (МСО) Понятие «МСО» используется как инструмент для инвентаризации разнообразия типов строения подземных органов стержнекорневых трав и рассматриваем в узком значении как уровень сложности строения, выделенный у растений различных видов. Всего во флоре конкретного региона (Воронежской области) автором выделено 660 видов (примерно 30% от общего количества) травянистых стержнекорневых полии монокарпических растений, которые были распределены среди 11 типов моделей структурной организации их корневой и побеговой систем. Это весьма многочисленная группа степных, луговых, рудеральных и сегетальных видов, играющих большую роль в формировании растительного покрова.

description: The early Iron Age (800 to 450 BCE) in France, Germany and Switzerland, known as the ‘West-Hallstattkreis’, stands out as featuring the earliest evidence for supra-regional organization north of the Alps. Often referred to as ‘early Celtic’, suggesting tentative connections to later cultural phenomena, its societal and population structure remain enigmatic. Here we present genomic and isotope data from 31 individuals from this context in southern Germany, dating between 616 and 200 BCE. We identify multiple biologically related groups spanning three elite burials as far as 100 km apart, supported by trans-regional individual mobility inferred from isotope data. These include a close biological relationship between two of the richest burial mounds of the Hallstatt culture. Bayesian modelling points to an avuncular relationship between the two individuals, which may suggest a practice of matrilineal dynastic succession in early Celtic elites. We show that their ancestry is shared on a broad geographic scale from Iberia throughout Central-Eastern Europe, undergoing a decline after the late Iron Age (450 BCE to ~50 CE).

description: Denkyira Ayanfuri Gyaman is a village in Upper Denkyira West District. Denkyira Ayanfuri Gyamankingmakers had been installing chiefs from the ancient days. Denkyira Ayanfuri Gyamanhene is aPalanquin chief. During the ancient days, Denkyira Ayanfuri Gyamanhene swore an oath of allegiance toDenkyirahene. At certain point in time Denkyira Ayanfuri Gyamanhene came under DenkyiraAyanfurihene. Because of this, Denkyira Ayanfuri Gyamanhene had to swear an oath of allegiance toDenkyira Ayanfurihene. After swearing an oath of allegiance, Denkyira Ayanfurihene had to sendDenkyira Ayanfuri Gyamanhene to Denkyirahene to swear an oath of allegiance to Denkyira State.
