description: The period from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the First World War for the Serbian people was filled with thunderous war and peace activities aimed liberation and unification. After the Balkan Wars, Turkey was finally banished from almost all over the Balkans, and Serbia has a decisive role in these wars, carried not only the liberation of Kosovo, Metohija and Vardar area already and gained a great reputation among their brethren in the Austro-Hungary. Habsburgs monarchy is now in Serbia saw a dangerous opponent and obstacle to the further penetration of east. First World War brought about the collapse of the Austro -Hungary and Serbia to win with greate victims. There is , with the assistance of the great powers and the creation of the first Yugoslav state (non-Bulgarians). This country is united, winners and losers. The animosity of the two parties, and the loyalty of the central government were and are insoluble problem. At the beginning of the dispute broke out in the first Constitution, but later changes had been made under pressure from without and from within, but without permanent result. Simple in one component of the State of Croatia, there was a sincere desire to preserve it.

description: The reappropriation of non-precious, vacant buildings as they await permitting provides unique opportunity for affordable housing. In light of Vancouver’s housing crisis, which leaves us with few houses and fewer homes, this project seeks to create places of meaning for the community. It addresses the imposing powers of government regulation, capitalist economies and detached designers to propose an alternative living space defined entirely by occupants. How might a collective of young activists begin to move the dial? Through the pages of a zine, we see how embracing bottom-up methodologies of collective, temporary occupation of vacant property can present innovative opportunities for unique in habitation.

Creating Personal Extracts While Keeping Confidentiality
Creators: name: Schiller, David
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2011

description: The German National Educational Panel Study (NEPS) collects longitudinal data for educational research. With six starting cohorts and 60.000 target persons, a more and more complex data structure emerges with every new wave. Data for scientific research is normally offered as flat files with a fixed number of variables and values. Therefore data providers have to build appropriate flat files for the scientific community, which is a difficult manual task as the data structure is complex. New ways to solve the mentioned problem open up when storing the data within a relational database. Variables or sets of variables, out of the entire range of data, can be selected and combined via a user interface similar to a shopping basket system or a "variable browser". The results are exported as individual datasets in different formats that meet the individual needs of researchers (e.g., Stata, SPSS). Database functionality and tools of business intelligence provide a wide range of possibilities to support the researcher during the selection process (e.g., descriptive statistics or metadata information). Confidentiality can be maintained by using a combination of database tools and statistical disclosure control methods (e.g., by using "security levels" for variables, or by using synthetic data).

description: Improved agricultural innovation is a panacea to economic development yet the level of adoption of the available improved agricultural technology is mixed in most developing countries. While attempts have been made to identify extrinsic factors in adoption decisions, less attention is given to the intrinsic variables. This study examines the roles of farmers‟ risk preferences and spatial dependence in the decisions to adopt higher yielding rice varieties. We utilize experimental and survey data from Nigeria and estimated instrumental probit model in two stages: risk model first, and adoption decisions model second. We account for the spatial heterogeneity in adoption and found the spatial lags of the risk attitude variables as significant instruments for unobserved variables like environmental factors. More importantly, risk preference is a significant endogenous determinant of adoption decisions. Correlation between spatial dependence and risk preference is an indication of the existence of social interaction and learning effects suggesting the diffusion of HYV may be enhanced through farmers‟ neighbours, because social interaction is an effective tool for information dissemination in the rural areas. Specific attention should not only be given to farmers‟ individual factors but also the group attributes like spatial aspects in decision making.

description: Fully differential next-to-next-to-leading order calculations require a method to cancel infrared singularities. In a previous publication, I discussed the general setup for the subtraction method at NNLO. In this paper I give all subtraction terms for electron-positron annihilation associated with one-loop amplitudes with one unresolved parton. These subtraction terms are integrated within dimensional regularization over the unresolved one-particle phase space. The results can be used with all variants of dimensional regularization (conventional dimensional regularization, the 't Hooft-Veltman scheme and the four-dimensional scheme).

description: Although gravitational waves only interact weakly with matter, their propagation is affected by a gravitational potential. If a gravitational wave source is eclipsed by a star, measuring these perturbations provides a way to directly measure the distribution of mass throughout the stellar interior. We compute the expected Shapiro time delay, amplification and deflection during an eclipse, and show how this can be used to infer the mass distribution of the eclipsing body. We identify continuous gravitational waves from neutron stars as the best candidates to detect this effect. When the Sun eclipses a far-away source, depending on the depth of the eclipse the time-delay can change by up to $\sim 0.034$ ms, the gravitational-wave strain amplitude can increase by $\sim 4$%, and the apparent position of the source in the sky can vary by $4''$. Accreting neutron stars with Roche-lobe filling companion stars have a high probability of exhibiting eclipses, producing similar time delays but undetectable changes in amplitude and sky location. Even for the most rapidly rotating neutron stars, this time delay only corresponds to a few percent of the phase of the gravitational wave, making it an extremely challenging measurement. However, if sources of continuous gravitational waves exist just below the limit of detection of current observatories, next-generation instruments will be able to observe them with enough precision to measure the signal of an eclipsing star. Detecting this effect would provide a new direct probe to the interior of stars, complementing asteroseismology and the detection of solar neutrinos.

description: This paper systematically evaluates the effect of some methodological or assumptions on the robustness of Vulnerability to Food Insecurity Index. The focus was to examine how data type, weight scheme, normalisation method and exclusion/inclusion of variable affect the model of the index using uncertainty and sensitivity analysis. The paper used two approaches: One-at-a-time and global sensitivity approach for the analysis. Using one-at-a-time approach, we explore how the VFII output response to different weighting scheme, normalisation method and inclusion/exclusion of variable. For the global approach, we used Sobol’ first-order index and total effect index to explore the uncertainty and sensitivity of VFII. The result of the robustness analysis indicated that VFII performance is stable to changes in the variables and normalisation method when equal weight is applied. Using the min-max normalisation method produces a highly robust estimate. The shock variable was the primary input factor that influences the variation in the output of the VFII. This implies that the VFII is highly sensitive to shocks, therefore better capturing the vulnerability component of food security.

description: A crucial challenge to successful flare prediction is forecasting periods that transition between "flare-quiet" and "flare-active". Building on earlier studies in this series (Barnes et al. 2016; Leka et al. 2019a,b) in which we describe methodology, details, and results of flare forecasting comparison efforts, we focus here on patterns of forecast outcomes (success and failure) over multi-day periods. A novel analysis is developed to evaluate forecasting success in the context of catching the first event of flare-active periods, and conversely, of correctly predicting declining flare activity. We demonstrate these evaluation methods graphically and quantitatively as they provide both quick comparative evaluations and options for detailed analysis. For the testing interval 2016-2017, we determine the relative frequency distribution of two-day dichotomous forecast outcomes for three different event histories (i.e., event/event, no-event/event and event/no-event), and use it to highlight performance differences between forecasting methods. A trend is identified across all forecasting methods that a high/low forecast probability on day-1 remains high/low on day-2 even though flaring activity is transitioning. For M-class and larger flares, we find that explicitly including persistence or prior flare history in computing forecasts helps to improve overall forecast performance. It is also found that using magnetic/modern data leads to improvement in catching the first-event/first-no-event transitions. Finally, 15% of major (i.e., M-class or above) flare days over the testing interval were effectively missed due to a lack of observations from instruments away from the Earth-Sun line.

description: Millennials are the largest demographic segment in the USA (Wine Market Council, 2016) and have gained market share of high frequency wine drinkers while Baby Boomers and Gen-X generations are falling in market share (Franson, 2016). This demographic evolution in wine market composition has focused industry attention on expanding understanding of Millennial wine drinkers preferences as an important marketing dynamic. At the same time the wine industry has seen significant establishment of sustainable certification systems as preferences for sustainability have developed and been recognised as an avenue for product diversification in a highly competitive global market. While there is a recognition that preferences for the types of attributes sustainability programmes can deliver may differ between generations, scant research has explored this segmentation. This paper reports on the application of a discrete choice experiment with the objective of comparing generational preferences for individual components of sustainability schemes active in the Californian Sauvignon blanc market. We find consumption behaviour and attribute preference differences over age cohorts. A central finding is that Millennial consumers are willing to pay more for sustainability attributes than both Gen-X and Baby Boomers, while conversely Baby Boomers are willing to pay more for country of origin attributes than both Gen-X or Millennials.

In both cases the lifetimes of these mesons decrease significantly at the critical point, although this might not be sufficient to observe enhancement of these decays in heavy-ion collisions.

description: The zero-voltage state of a Josephson junction biased with constant current consists of a set of metastable quantum energy levels. We probe the spacings of these levels by using microwave spectroscopy to enhance the escape rate to the voltage state. The widths of the resonances give a measurement of the coherence time of the two states involved in the transitions. We observe a decoherence time shorter than that expected from dissipation alone in resonantly isolated 20 um x 5 um Al/AlOx/Al junctions at 60 mK. The data is well fit by a model including dephasing effects of both low-frequency current noise and the escape rate to the continuum voltage states. We discuss implications for quantum computation using current-biased Josephson junction qubits, including the minimum number of levels needed in the well to obtain an acceptable error limit per gate.

description: Rewarding investigators who share data, assessing the impact of data repositories, and measuring the intended and unintended effects of data policy decisions all depend on being able to track dataset reuse. Unfortunately, tracking data reuse is currently extraordinarily difficult due to diverse attribution practices, tool limitations, and data source restrictions. Through a Pecha Kucha overview and subsequent details in a more traditional format, this talk will summarize recent experiences in tracking data reuse. Examples will be drawn from the ongoing project Tracking Data Reuse: Following one thousand datasets from public repositories into the published literature (winner of the 2010 ASIST SIGUSE Elfreda A.

There are other mechanisms in which two kaons are produced through the same sequential mechanisms or from $ϕ$ decay into two kaons and then undergo final state interaction leading to the final pair of pions or $π^0 η$, this latter mechanism being the leading one. The results of the parameter free theory, together with the theoretical uncertainties, are compared with the latest experimental results of KLOE at Frascati.

description: In recent years, the multifunctionality of farming activities and diversification of on-farm income sources have increasingly included the generation of renewable energy. The uptake of on-farm anaerobic digestion, however, continues to lag behind other renewable energy sources, notably wind and solar. The purpose of this paper is to provide an in-depth analysis of the policy barriers that might explain this relative absence of anaerobic digestion from UK farming. This is doubly important, given that anaerobic digestion is not only a potential source of renewable energy, but also a means of waste management within certain farming systems. The analysis draws on a mixed-methods research project, with data from 153 responses to a questionnaire sent to farmers in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire in March 2016; 18 in-depth interviews with stakeholders in the anaerobic digestion sector; and a workshop that brought together stakeholders in a round-table discussion. The qualitative data are coded and then analysed utilising a model of policy analysis that distinguishes between three levels of policy means and policy ends. The findings of this analysis provide important insights into the challenges of devising a policy that can effectively promote on-farm anaerobic digestion.

description: In order to ensure that peasants as well receive just remuneration for their work as described in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a paradigm change in thinking about producer prices is needed: from market prices to ‘fair’ prices. After an overview of how economists have dealt with the concept fair, this paper continues with a methodology, the ‘Living Income / Fair Price’ approach, that describes how to calculate producer prices that are not only based on production costs, but on the concepts ‘living wages’ and ‘living income’ as well. These prices are called ‘fair prices’. These fair prices can be calculated for each agricultural product separately, based on the assumption of full employment on the specific crop.

The dependence of the precession parameters on external magnetic field strength and orientation reveal that by laser-induced ultrafast partial quenching of the magnetoelastic coupling parameter of CoFeB by $\approx$27% along with 10% ultrafast demagnetization trigger the magnetization precession. The relation between the laser-induced reduction of the magnetoelastic coupling and the demagnetization is approximated by the $n(n+1)/2$-law with n$\approx$2. This correspondence confirms the thermal origin of the laser-induced anisotropy change. Based on the analysis and modeling of the excited precession we find signatures of laser-induced precessional switching, which occurs when the magnetic field is applied along the hard magnetization axis and its value is close to the effective magnetoelastic anisotropy field. The precession excitation process in an individual magnetoelastic domain is found to be unaffected by neighboring domains. This makes laser-induced changes of magnetoelastic anisotropy a promising tool for driving magnetization dynamics and switching in composite multiferroics with spatial selectivity.

description: We study the vacuum structure in 5D SO(10) grand unified theory (GUT) compactified on $S^1/Z_2$ orbifold, where SO(10) is broken into $SU(3)\times SU(2)\times U(1)^2$ through the boundary conditions. Although a lot of people extended to 6D to avoid massless colored particle, we can show they obtain finite masses by the radiative corrections. In a supersymmetric case, the fermionic partner of the zero-mode can also acquire non-vanishing mass through the SUSY breaking effects, and the gauge coupling unification can be recovered by use of brane localized kinetic terms.

The next generation Timescapes Archive - supporting the complex structures and relationships of qualitative longitudinal data
Creators: name: Ryan, Ben
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2011

description: Timescapes, an ESRC funded study, has developed an archive to hold the data and documentation outputs of seven empirical longitudinal qualitative projects. One limitation that has become clear is that the platform used to archive the data (DigiTool) does not support the rich diversity, structure and inter-relationships that the data sets require to be of maximum use to the research community. The archive platform treats all files as "digital objects" and does not allow the modelling of complex structures of information and its inter-relationships. It is not possible to clearly display the connections between artefacts produced from a number of interviews and cohort activities over a number of phases. A consequence of this lack of relation is the inability to present the artefacts utilising time as a dimension other than simplistic date based searching, severely constraining the usability of longitudinal data. Adopting the Fedora Commons platform will allow the archive to represent concepts and relationships between concepts, such as collections, waves, and longitudinal case studies to be directly represented in the archive. The new architecture will support the representation of standards e.g. DDI and emerging initiatives e.g. QuDeX (an XML standard for qualitative data exchange) directly within the archive.

description: Based on a quantum analysis of two capacitively coupled current-biased Josephson junctions, we propose two fundamental two-qubit quantum logic gates. Each of these gates, when supplemented by single-qubit operations, is sufficient for universal quantum computation. Numerical solutions of the time-dependent Schroedinger equation demonstrate that these operations can be performed with good fidelity.

description: Since antiquity donkey products have been attributed medicinal, rejuvenating and beautifying properties. In China medicinal and rejuvenating effects have been attributed to a gelatin, called ejiao, produced from donkey hides. In this paper, we analyse the demand for and supply of donkey hides. Ejiao has a long tradition in Traditional Chinese Medicine but it used to be a product reserved for the elite in Chinese society. A number of drivers have substantially increased the demand for ejiao over the last three decades. Economic development has made ejiao affordable for a much larger section of the Chinese population and it is now one of the most widely used products in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Over the last few years, the Chinese government has put policies in place to increase the use of Traditional Chinese Medicine, leading to a further increase in demand for ejiao. We conclude, therefore, that overall demand for ejiao is likely to continue to increase. We analyse the supply of donkey hides in China and globally. The rapid economic development in China has not only led to an increase in demand for ejiao but also to a rapid decrease in the domestic supply of donkeys. We use systems dynamics modelling to assess the potential of donkey farming in China in the medium and longer term. Our modelling exercise shows that even under very optimistic assumptions, current attempts to increase donkey farming in China will not meet the demand in the short term but has potential in the medium to longer term. Thus, international trade in donkey hides is likely to continue to play an important role, at least in the short term and a number of countries have given permission for donkey slaughter houses to be built. We use the systems dynamics model to assess the potential of countries to sustainably supply donkey hides over the next decade. The model shows that trade can contribute to the supply of donkey hides but it will be not possible to meet the current demand. Thus prices are likely to continue to increase. We conclude that there is currently a shortfall in supply of donkey hides that cannot be met either within China or from other countries. For this reason, fake ejiao products and illegal activities are likely to continue to characterise the donkey hide and ejiao markets.

description: We perform the OPE analysis of the contribution of colour-singlet compound states of reggeized gluons to a generic hard process in QCD and calculate the spectrum of the corresponding higher twist anomalous dimensions in multi-colour limit. These states govern high energy asymptotics of the structure functions and their energies define the intercept of the Regge singularities both in the Pomeron and the Odderon sectors. We argue that due to nontrivial analytical properties of the energy spectrum, the twist expansion does not hold for the gluonic states with the minimal energy generating the leading Regge singularities. It is restored however after one takes into account the states with larger energies whose contribution to the Regge asymptotics is subleading.

description: Can modern-day developing economies transform their economies by participating in global value chains (GVCs)? The rise of global value chains (GVCs) has changed the nature of production around the world over recent years. Conventionally, companies used to produce goods primarily in one country. That has all changed. Modern-day, a single finished product often results from manufacturing and assembly in multiple countries, with each step in the process adding value to the final product. Although the transition out-of-agriculture is an important aspect of economic development in developing countries, it is unclear whether participation in global value chains (GVCs) fosters a structural transformation ─ the process whereby economic activity is reallocated from agriculture to manufacturing, and then from manufacturing to the services sector. In this paper, I investigate the effect of the participation in agricultural GVCs on the structural transformation. Using multi-region input-output data to measure GVC participation and crosscountry data for 183 countries for the period 1990-2013. I find that in response to greater agri-food global value-chain participation, modern-day agrarian economies are leapfrogging manufacturing to directly develop their services sector, which runs counter to conventional structural transformation narratives. This result is strongly robust to (i) various alternative specifications (i.e., regional-year fixed effects, a linear time trend, country-specific time trends, regional-specific time trends, all along with country fixed effects and country-specific year fixed effects), (ii) an alternative measure of structural transformation (GDP and employment shares), and (iii) an alternative measure of GVCs. By slicing the data, I also find that the move of structural transformation is statistically unclear in low-income countries. This is important for agri-food industrial, trade, and development policy by providing original evidence that believing in “onesize- fits-all” might draw the wrong policy recommendations for different countries in the context of global value chains.

description: Blockchain is the driving force behind a myriad of decentralized applications (dapps) that promise to transform the Internet. The next generation Internet, or web3, introduces a "universal state layer" to store data in p2p networks. Swarm, a native layer of the Ethereum web3 stack, aims at providing redundant storage for dapp code, data, as well as, blockchain and state data. Based on a diploma verification dapp use case, we share insights on the role of redundancy strategies in designing a reliable storage layer. Our proof-of-concept improves Swarm's resilience to failures by balancing repairs and storage, with a slightly added latency.

Mind The Gap : Re-imagining care in the private suburb
Creators: name: Loh, Erica
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia

description: A future of equality is impossible to achieve in the built environment of suburbia. The suburbs have long been placed in our cities, and into societal views of what constitutes a home. For countless years these spaces have harbored design practices that work explicitly against supporting any household that does not fit the white, middle-class model of the nuclear family. We have now been left with, and continue to build, suburban communities that are centered around ideas of private lives and self sufficiency. These practices assist in North America being uncaring in nature as social networks are placed predominantly within the private home. It is with this base that the suburban landscape has become a highly gendered space, with a dominant focus on women as belonging in the private sphere. This thesis begins to question how change to built form and urban design in these neighbourhoods can assist in opening up to being caring communities. It looks at how we might live as a supportive network of households that starts to break down the contemporary condition of placing care purely within the private realm and speculates on how changing that may begin to alter our everyday lives.
