Law and science: risk assessment and risk management in the WTO agreement on the application of sanitary and phytosanitary measures
Creators: name: Burkard, Michael David
Publisher: name: Universität Bern
Year: 2011
Subjects: 380 Commerce, communications & transportation

description: Assessing and managing risks relating to the consumption of food stuffs for humans and to the environment has been one of the most complex legal issues in WTO law, ever since the Agreement on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures was adopted at the end of the Uruguay Round and entered into force in 1995. The problem was expounded in a number of cases. Panels and the Appellate Body adopted different philosophies in interpreting the agreement and the basic concept of risk assessment as defined in Annex A para. 4 of the Agreement. Risk assessment entails fundamental question on law and science. Different interpretations reflect different underlying perceptions of science and its relationship to the law. The present thesis supported by the Swiss National Research Foundation undertakes an in-depth analysis of these underlying perceptions. The author expounds the essence and differences of positivism and relativism in philosophy and natural sciences. He clarifies the relationship of fundamental concepts such as risk, hazards and probability. This investigation is a remarkable effort on the part of lawyer keen to learn more about the fundamentals based upon which the law – often unconsciously – is operated by the legal profession and the trade community. Based upon these insights, he turns to a critical assessment of jurisprudence both of panels and the Appellate Body. Extensively referring and discussing the literature, he deconstructs findings and decisions in light of implied and assumed underlying philosophies and perceptions as to the relationship of law and science, in particular in the field of food standards. Finding that both positivism and relativism does not provide adequate answers, the author turns critical rationalism and applies the methodologies of falsification developed by Karl R. Popper. Critical rationalism allows combining discourse in science and law and helps preparing the ground for a new approach to risk assessment and risk management. Linking the problem to the doctrine of multilevel governance the author develops a theory allocating risk assessment to international for a while leaving the matter of risk management to national and democratically accountable government. While the author throughout the thesis questions the possibility of separating risk assessment and risk management, the thesis offers new avenues which may assist in structuring a complex and difficult problem

description: As AI systems develop in complexity it is becoming increasingly hard to ensure non-discrimination on the basis of protected attributes such as gender, age, and race. Many recent methods have been developed for dealing with this issue as long as the protected attribute is explicitly available for the algorithm. We address the setting where this is not the case (with either no explicit protected attribute, or a large set of them). Instead, we assume the existence of a fair domain expert capable of generating an extension to the labeled dataset - a small set of example pairs, each having a different value on a subset of protected variables, but judged to warrant a similar model response. We define a performance metric - paired consistency. Paired consistency measures how close the output (assigned by a classifier or a regressor) is on these carefully selected pairs of examples for which fairness dictates identical decisions. In some cases consistency can be embedded within the loss function during optimization and serve as a fairness regularizer, and in others it is a tool for fair model selection. We demonstrate our method using the well studied Income Census dataset.

Pseudoscalar Meson Mixing in Effective Field Theory

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We show that for any effective field theory of colorless meson fields, the mixing schemes of particle states and decay constants are not only related but also determined exclusively by the kinetic and mass Lagrangian densities. In the general case, these are bilinear in terms of the intrinsic fields and involve non-diagonal kinetic and mass matrices. By applying three consecutive steps this Lagrangian can be reduced into the standard quadratic form in terms of the physical fields. These steps are : (i) the diagonalization of the kinetic matrix, (ii) rescaling of the fields, and (iii) the diagonalization of the mass matrix. In case, where the dimensions of the non-diagonal kinetic and mass sub-matrices are respectively, $k\times k$ and $n\times n$, this procedure leads to mixing schemes which involve $[k(k-1)/2] + [n(n-1)/2]$ angles and $k$ field rescaling parameters. This observation holds true irrespective with the type of particle interactions presumed. The commonly used mixing schemes, correspond to a proper choice of the kinetic and mass matrices, and are derived as special cases. In particular, $η$-$η'$ mixing, requires one angle, if and only if, the kinetic term with the intrinsic fields has a quadratic form.

description: We study the possibility of spontaneous CP violation in string models with the dilaton field stabilized at a phenomenologically acceptable value. We consider three mechanisms to stabilize the dilaton: multiple gaugino condensates, a nonperturbative Kahler potential, and a superpotential based on S-duality, and analyze consequent CP phases in the soft SUSY breaking terms. Due to non-universality forced upon the theory by requiring a non-trivial CKM phase, the EDM problem becomes more severe. Even if there are no complex phases in the VEVs of the SUSY breaking fields, the electric dipole moments are overproduced by orders of magnitude. We also address the question of modular invariance of the physical CP phases.

description: One new aryldihydronaphthalene-type lignan (1) together with eight known lignans (2-4, 7–11) as well as two caffeic-acid dimers (5, 6) were isolated from an ethanol extract of the whole plant of Corispermum mongolicum Iljin (Chenopodiaceae). The chemical structures of these compounds were determined from 1D and 2D NMR and HR-ESI-MS spectra, and results were compared with data from the literature. This study is the first demonstration of nine compounds (2 and 4–11) isolated from the Chenopodiaceae family, with one of these (3) from the genus Corispermum. Anti-inflammatory effects of the isolated compounds were evaluated in terms of inhibition of production of nitric oxide, tumour necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-6 in lipopolysaccharide-induced RAW 264.7 cells.

description: Reciprocal transformations of Hamiltonian operators of hydrodynamic type are investigated. The transformed operators are generally nonlocal, possessing a number of remarkable algebraic and differential-geometric properties. We apply our results to linearly degenerate semi-Hamiltonian systems in Riemann invariants. Since all such systems are linearizable by appropriate (generalized) reciprocal transformations, our formulae provide an infinity of mutually compatible nonlocal Hamiltonian structures, explicitly parametrized by arbitrary functions of one variable.

description: This study of the history and development of Prairie Farms Dairy, Inc., sheds light on how and why the cooperative grew and its economic impact on members, employees, other cooperatives, and the area served. Local creameries, encouraged by l11inois Agricultural Association formed one of the Nation's larger milk bottling cooperatives. Success came largely from making judicious choices among alternatives. Growth was largely through acquisitions of small dairies unable to continue as successful firms. Key staff was retained and used with flexibility and local initiative. Employee loyalty was demanded, observed and rewarded. About half of its milk was purchased from other cooperatives. Members were paid competitive prices plus an attractive thirteenth check. By 1978, impact on the trade area had reached 2,300 jobs, $48 million in income and $433 million in output.

description: The non-perturbative superpotential generated by a heterotic superstring wrapped once around a genus-zero holomorphic curve is proportional to the Pfaffian involving the determinant of a Dirac operator on this curve. We show that the space of zero modes of this Dirac operator is the kernel of a linear mapping that is dependent on the associated vector bundle moduli. By explicitly computing the determinant of this map, one can deduce whether or not the dimension of the space of zero modes vanishes. It is shown that this information is sufficient to completely determine the Pfaffian and, hence, the non-perturbative superpotential as explicit holomorphic functions of the vector bundle moduli. This method is illustrated by a number of non-trivial examples.

description: Entanglement generation at a macroscopic scale offers an exciting avenue to develop new quantum technologies and study fundamental physics on a tabletop. Cavity quantum optomechanics provides an ideal platform to generate and exploit such phenomena owing to the precision of quantum optics combined with recent experimental advances in optomechanical devices. In this work, we propose schemes operating outside the resolved-sideband regime, to prepare and verify both optical-mechanical and mechanical-mechanical entanglement. Our schemes employ pulsed interactions with a duration much less than the mechanical period and, together with homodyne measurements, can both generate and characterize these types of entanglement. To improve the performance of our schemes, a precooling stage comprising prior pulses can be utilized to increase the amount of entanglement prepared, and local optical squeezers may be used to provide resilience against open-system dynamics. The entanglement generated by our schemes is quantified using the logarithmic negativity and is analysed with respect to the strength of the pulsed optomechanical interactions for realistic experimental scenarios including mechanical decoherence and optical loss. Two separate schemes for mechanical entanglement generation are introduced and compared: one scheme based on an optical interferometric design, and the other comprising sequential optomechanical interactions. The pulsed nature of our protocols provides more direct access to these quantum correlations in the time domain, with applications including quantum metrology and tests of quantum decoherence. By considering a parameter set based on recent experiments, the feasibility to generate significant entanglement with our schemes, even with large optical losses, is demonstrated.

description: Considering the mismatch in the supply of and demand for the industrial process wastes, we investigate when the interfirm waste utilisation can be both economically and environmentally superior to the no waste utilisation. The Nash bargaining approach is employed to resolve the incentive misalignment problem. Our analysis suggests that the conversion strategy changes from over-conversion, to full conversion, and then to partial conversion with increasing waste trading price. Furthermore, an increase in the waste disposal fee contributes to the diversion of wastes from the landfill but may result in worse environmental consequences especially for wastes with a slight reduction in the production impact compared to raw materials. This implies that policy makers should charge the waste disposal fee based on waste types and focus on increasing that for wastes with higher disposal and lower production impacts. Finally, at the lower waste trading price, the interfirm waste utilisation is always a win-win strategy. While at the higher waste trading price, it is a win-win strategy for products with a substantial reduction in the production impact when producing with wastes. Otherwise, it is a win-win strategy for products with a lower production impact relative to the raw material usage and waste disposal impacts.

description: A recent theory that determines the properties of disordered solids as the solid accumulates damage is applied to the special case of fiber bundles with global load sharing and is shown to be exact in this case. The theory postulates that the probability of observing a given emergent damage state is obtained by maximizing the emergent entropy as defined by Shannon subject to energetic constraints. This theory yields the known exact results for the fiber-bundle model with global load sharing and holds for any quenched-disorder distribution. It further defines how the entropy evolves as a function of stress, and shows definitively how the concepts of temperature and entropy emerge in a problem where all statistics derive from the initial quenched disorder. A previously unnoticed phase transition is shown to exist as the entropy goes through a maximum. In general, this entropy-maximum transition occurs at a different point in strain history than the stress-maximum transition with the precise location depending entirely on the quenched-disorder distribution.

description: The perturbative quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is quite successful in the description of main features of multiparticle production processes. Ten most appealing characteristics are described in this brief review talk and compared with QCD predictions. The general perturbative QCD approach is demonstrated and its problems are discussed. It is shown that the analytical calculations at the parton level with the low-momentum cut-off reproduce experimental data on the hadronic final state surprisingly accurately even though the perturbative expansion parameter is not very small. Moreover, the perturbative QCD has been able not only to {\it describe} the existing data but also to {\it predict} many new bright qualitative phenomena.

description: We report the detection of repeat bursts from the source of FRB 171019, one of the brightest fast radio bursts (FRBs) detected in the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) fly's eye survey. Two bursts from the source were detected with the Green Bank Telescope in observations centered at 820 MHz. The repetitions are a factor of $\sim 590$ fainter than the ASKAP-discovered burst. All three bursts from this source show no evidence of scattering and have consistent pulse widths. The pulse spectra show modulation that could be evidence for either steep spectra or patchy emission. The two repetitions were the only ones found in an observing campaign for this FRB totaling 1000 hr, which also included ASKAP and the 64-m Parkes radio telescope, over a range of frequencies (720$-$2000 MHz) at epochs spanning two years. The inferred scaling of repetition rate with fluence of this source agrees with the other repeating source, FRB 121102. The detection of faint pulses from FRB 171019 shows that at least some FRBs selected from bright samples will repeat if follow-up observations are conducted with more sensitive telescopes.

description: We study the supersymmetric GUT models where the supersymmetry and GUT gauge symmetry can be broken by the discrete symmetry. First, with the ansatz that there exist discrete symmetries in the branes' neighborhoods, we discuss the general reflection $Z_2$ symmetries and GUT breaking on $M^4\times M^1$ and $M^4\times M^1\times M^1$. In those models, the extra dimensions can be large and the KK states can be set arbitrarily heavy. Second, considering the extra space manifold is the annulus $A^2$ or disc $D^2$, we can define any $Z_n$ symmetry and break any 6-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric SU(M) models down to the 4-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric $SU(3)\times SU(2)\times U(1)^{M-4}$ models for the zero modes. In particular, there might exist the interesting scenario on $M^4\times A^2$ where just a few KK states are light, while the others are relatively heavy. Third, we discuss the complete global discrete symmetries on $M^4\times T^2$ and study the GUT breaking.

description: Food systems in developing countries are transforming, involving a rapid expansion of supermarkets. This supermarket revolution may affect dietary patterns and nutrition, but empirical evidence is scarce. The few existing studies have analyzed implications for food consumers and producers separately. We discuss a more integrated framework that helps to gain a broader understanding. Reviewing recent evidence from Kenya, we show that buying food in supermarkets instead of traditional outlets contributes to overnutrition among adults, while reducing undernutrition among children. For farm households, supplying supermarkets causes improvements in dietary quality. The results underline that supermarkets influence nutrition in multiple ways and directions.

description: We describe a method for improving coherent control through the use of detailed knowledge of the system's Hamiltonian. Precise unitary transformations were obtained by strongly modulating the system's dynamics to average out unwanted evolution. With the aid of numerical search methods, pulsed irradiation schemes are obtained that perform accurate, arbitrary, selective gates on multi-qubit systems. Compared to low power selective pulses, which cannot average out all unwanted evolution, these pulses are substantially shorter in time, thereby reducing the effects of relaxation. Liquid-state NMR techniques on homonuclear spin systems are used to demonstrate the accuracy of these gates both in simulation and experiment. Simulations of the coherent evolution of a 3-qubit system show that the control sequences faithfully implement the unitary operations, typically yielding gate fidelities on the order of 0.999 and, for some sequences, up to 0.9997. The experimentally determined density matrices resulting from the application of different control sequences on a 3-spin system have overlaps of up to 0.99 with the expected states, confirming the quality of the experimental implementation.

description: Mit dem Inkrafttreten des Schweizerischen Zivilgesetzbuches (ZGB) im Jahr 1912 gelangte die Schweiz erstmals in ihrer Geschichte zu einer landesweit einheitlichen Zivilrechtskodifikation. Als einer der ersten Juristen kommentierte der Zürcher Rechtsprofessor August Egger (1875-1954) das Personen- und Familienrecht des ZGB; dies in zwei Auflagen: Die Kommentare zum Personenrecht erschienen in den Jahren 1911 (also noch vor Inkrafttreten des ZGB) bzw. 1930; jene zum Familienrecht in den Jahren 1914 bzw., nunmehr in drei Bänden, 1936 (Eherecht), 1943 (Verwandtschaft) und 1948 (Vormundschaft). Diese Gesetzeskommentare – Eggers Lebenswerk – werden von Philipp Stehlin in seiner Dissertation in nahezu umfassender Weise untersucht. Dabei wird der Fokus auf den Inhalt von Eggers Darlegungen zu den einzelnen Gesetzesnormen gerichtet. Freigelegt werden sowohl Eggers Interpretation dieser Normen als auch Eggers konzeptionelle und systematische Einordnung derselben ins ZGB. Überdies werden Eggers Positionen, wo möglich, mit den Vorstellungen des Gesetzesredaktors, Eugen Huber (1849-1923), verglichen. Letzteres ermöglicht dem Leser nicht nur einen bequemen Nachvollzug von Hubers Vorstellungen, sondern verschafft ihm insbesondere auch Klarheit über die Frage, inwiefern der Huber-Schüler Egger von den Ideen seines Lehrers geprägt war. Damit der Leser auf den Beizug einer alten Gesetzesausgabe verzichten kann, wird jede einzelne der im vorliegenden Werk besprochenen Normen zitiert.
Strong Evidence of Normal Heat Conduction in a one-Dimensional Quantum System

description: We investigate how the normal energy transport is realized in one-dimensional quantum systems using a quantum spin system. The direct investigation of local energy distribution under thermal gradient is made using the quantum master equation, and the mixing properties and the convergence of the Green-Kubo formula are investigated when the number of spin increases. We find that the autocorrelation function in the Green-Kubo formula decays as $\sim t^{-1.5}$ to a finite value which vanishes rapidly with the increase of the system size. As a result, the Green-Kubo formula converges to a finite value in the thermodynamic limit. These facts strongly support the realization of Fourier heat law in a quantum system.

description: This paper examines the ecosystem impacts of transgenic Bt cotton technology resulting from reduced chemical pesticide use. Employing unique panel data from smallholder farmers in central and southern India, negative environmental and health effects of pesticide use are quantified with the environmental impact quotient (EIQ), with and without Bt technology. An environmentally-sensitive production function is estimated, treating the environmental risk of pesticide toxicity as an undesirable output in the production process. Negative externalities are significantly lower in Bt than in conventional cotton. The reduction in EIQ through Bt adoption has increased from 39% during 2002-2004 to 68% during 2006-2008. Bt adoption also contributes to higher environmental efficiency. We find that environmental efficiency is influenced by the quality of Bt technology; high-quality Bt seeds are associated with higher environmental efficiency than lower-quality seeds.

description: The detection of the flavour content of jets produced from R-parity violating neutralino decays is investigated in the case where one baryon-number violating coupling dominates. Simulations are performed of the ATLAS experiment at the LHC for all couplings, other than lambda"_tjk since neutralino decays through these couplings are very suppressed. Secondary vertex distributions and muons produced by heavy-quark (b- and c-) jets allow discrimination between LSP decay modes. The dominant coupling can be identified at better than 3.5 sigma in almost all cases, with the only remaining ambiguity caused by the inability to distinguish strange from down quarks.

Pension plans: risk and governance

description: Pension Risk and Corporate Investment: This paper studies the relation of systematic pension risk (pension beta) and corporate investment in a large sample of U.S. firms. We present evidence of a negative impact of pension risk on investment, which is consistent with the view that firms forego valuable investment opportunities because they fail to notice that systematic pension risk causes an upward bias in the discount rates they use in capital budgeting decisions. The pension risk bias in investment is economically relevant and not limited to financially constrained firms. The study can be generalized to all firms that base their investment decisions on a firm-wide discount rate without noticing the different sources of systematic risk. The Duration Gap Matters: How Pension Duration Affects Equity Returns: This paper empirically studies whether equity returns of U.S. nonfinancial firms reflect the systematic interest rate risk of the sponsored defined benefit pension plans. It is not obvious that they should. Pension accounting rules are complex and pension assets and liabilities are held separately from the firm’s operating assets. We find that the gap between the duration of pension assets and pension liabilities affects the interest rate exposure of the sponsoring firm without bias. This is consistent with the hypothesis of informationally efficient capital markets. Our results are robust to a wide range of assumptions regarding the duration of pension liabilities and pension asset classes and are not driven by firms with negligibly small pension plans or firms in financial distress. Besides, our results are neither caused by the recent financial crisis nor explained by the subsequent years of historically low interest rates. How the Chairman’s Personal Preferences Affect Public Pension Risk: Based on the analysis of 343 changes of chairpersons in 110 U.S. state and local government pension boards of trustees, this paper shows that the risk from the mismatch between pension assets and liabilities reflects the personal risk preferences of the chairman of the board (COB). We find that pension risk is negatively affected by an increase in COB age, and that it is lower if the COB is a woman. We also find that pension risk is higher if the COB is an annuitant of the plan, consistent with an incentive of retirees to gamble for higher benefits. Finally, we observe that the risk of public pension plans is higher if the COB is an ex officio trustee, possibly because reporting rules enable politicians to avoid tax increases or spending cuts by boosting the risk of the fund’s assets. The current underfunding problems faced by public pension plans are hence partially a consequence of past decisions of pension COBs. Our results are robust to different definitions of pension risk, economically relevant, and particularly strong for more poorly governed pension plans. We find no evidence of an endogenous selection of COBs to pension plans that match their risk preferences.

description: We analyze gender difference in risk and ambiguity attitude of subjects across two different ethnicities that differ in the degree of female empowerment. Santal is a patriarchal tribe and Khasi is a matrilineal tribe with men and women being the social head in their respective societies. We compare subject’s willingness to take up risk and ambiguity for themselves and on behalf of others. Besides we analyze the differences in risk and ambiguity attitude of subjects from these societies. Our findings show that women in both societies are significantly more risk averse, but not ambiguity averse. Patriarchal male and female are more risk averse in group risk than in individual risk but matrilineal subjects are not. Therefore, higher risk aversion in group is an ethnic trait among Santals. Comparing the between ethnicity differences we find that matrilineal subjects are more risk averse than patriarchal subjects. Regarding attitudes towards ambiguity, we did not find any gender or ethnicity differences.
