description: Alle kirchlichen Erklärungen seit dem Ende der Schoah, die sich mit der grundlegenden Erneuerung des Verhältnisses von Christen und Juden beschäftigen, sei es die Erklärung der EKDSynode zur Schuld an Israel in Berlin-Weißensee (1950), die Erklärung des Zweiten Vatikanischen Konzils über die Haltung der Kirche zu den nichtchristlichen Religionen (Nostra Aetate, 1965), der Beschluss der Rheinischen Synode (1980), die EKD-Studien Christen und Juden (1975, 1991, 2000), die zahlreichen Erklärungen des Vatikans, von Bischofskonferenzen, Synoden und Repräsentanten vieler christlicher Konfessionen, zielen nicht nur auf ein neues theologisches Verständnis, sondern gleichzeitig immer auch auf eine fundamental erneuerte Bildung. Die Erklärung der orthodoxen Rabbiner von 2015 kann diese Bemühungen unterstützen und auch christlichem Lehren und Lernen im Blick auf das Judentum bedeutende neue Impulse mitgeben.

description: A nationwide survey of supermarket prices and other store, firm, and city characteristics found considerable diversity between cities and among stores and firms within cities in 1982. Store size, sales volume, store services, occupancy costs, market growth, and market entry contributed to price differences between supermarket firms. Differences in market concentration, firm market share, and firm labor costs were not significant determinants of supermarket prices. Considerable switching occurred in the price rankings of firms in most cities over the three survey periods.

description: Systematic treatment of the collective rotation of the nonrigid chiral soliton is developed in the SU(3) chiral quark soliton model and applied to the octet and decuplet baryons. The strangeness degrees of freedom are treated by a simplified bound-state approach which omits the locality of the kaon wave function. Then, the flavor rotation is divided into the isospin rotation and the emission and absorption of the kaon. The kaon Hamiltonian is diagonalized by the Hartree approximation. The soliton changes the shape according to the strangeness. The baryons appear as the rotational bands of the combined system of the soliton and the kaon.

Exploring the Level of Urbanization Based on Zipf's Scaling Exponent

description: The rank-size distribution of cities follows Zipf's law, and the Zipf scaling exponent often tends to a constant 1. This seems to be a general rule. However, a recent numerical experiment shows that there exists a contradiction between the Zipf exponent 1 and high urbanization level in a large population country. In this paper, mathematical modeling, computational analysis, and the method of proof by contradiction are employed to reveal the numerical relationships between urbanization level and Zipf scaling exponent. The main findings are as follows. (1) If Zipf scaling exponent equals 1, the urbanization rate of a large populous country can hardly exceed 50%. (2) If Zipf scaling exponent is less than 1, the urbanization level of large populous countries can exceeds 80%. A conclusion can be drawn that the Zipf exponent is the control parameter for the urbanization dynamics. In order to improve the urbanization level of large population countries, it is necessary to reduce the Zipf scaling exponent. Allometric growth law is employed to interpret the change of Zipf exponent, and scaling transform is employed to prove that different definitions of cities do no influence the above analytical conclusion essentially. This study provides a new way of looking at Zipf's law of city-size distribution and urbanization dynamics.

Irreversibility, heat and information flows induced by non-reciprocal interactions

description: We study the thermodynamic properties induced by non-reciprocal interactions between stochastic degrees of freedom in time- and space-continuous systems. We show that, under fairly general conditions, non-reciprocal coupling alone implies a steady energy flow through the system, i.e., non-equilibrium. Projecting out the non-reciprocally coupled degrees of freedom renders non-Markovian, one-variable Langevin descriptions with complex types of memory, for which we find a generalized second law involving information flow. We demonstrate that non-reciprocal linear interactions can be used to engineer non-monotonic memory, which is typical for, e.g., time-delayed feedback control, and is automatically accompanied with a nonzero information flow through the system. Furthermore, already a single non-reciprocally coupled degree of freedom can extract energy from a single heat bath (at isothermal conditions), and can thus be viewed as a minimal version of a time-continuous, autonomous "Maxwell demon". At the same time, the non-reciprocal system has characteristic features of active matter, such as a positive energy input on the level of the flucuating trajectories, without global particle transport.

description: To study the high-transition dense-gas tracers and their relationships to the star formation of the inner $\sim$ 2 kpc circumnuclear region of NGC253, we present HCN $J=4-3$ and HCO$^+ J=4-3$ maps obtained with the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT). With the spatially resolved data, we compute the concentration indices $r_{90}/r_{50}$ for the different tracers. HCN and HCO$^+$ 4-3 emission features tend to be centrally concentrated, which is in contrast to the shallower distribution of CO 1-0 and the stellar component. The dense-gas fraction ($f_\text{dense}$, traced by the velocity-integrated-intensity ratios of HCN/CO and HCO$^+$/CO) and the ratio $R_\text{31}$ (CO 3-2/1-0) decline towards larger galactocentric distances, but increase with higher SFR surface density. The radial variation and the large scatter of $f_\text{dense}$ and $R_\text{31}$ imply distinct physical conditions in different regions of the galactic disc. The relationships of $f_\text{dense}$ versus $Σ_\text{stellar}$, and SFE$_\text{dense}$ versus $Σ_\text{stellar}$ are explored. SFE$_\text{dense}$ increases with higher $Σ_\text{stellar}$ in this galaxy, which is inconsistent with previous work that used HCN 1-0 data. This implies that existing stellar components might have different effects on the high-$J$ HCN and HCO$^+$ than their low-$J$ emission. We also find that SFE$_\text{dense}$ seems to be decreasing with higher $f_\text{dense}$, which is consistent with previous works, and it suggests that the ability of the dense gas to form stars diminishes when the average density of the gas increases. This is expected in a scenario where only the regions with high-density contrast collapse and form stars.

title: Developing and Evaluating Effective Interventions to Reduce Healthcare-Associated Infection in A Resource-Limited Hospital in Thailand
Creators: name: Hongsuwan, Maliwan
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2018

description: The burden of disease due to hospital-acquired infections in developing countries is poorly quantified. Moreover, hand hygiene compliance (amongst the most effective control measures) is often low and high quality research into how to improve it is largely lacking outside high income settings. I aimed to: I) describe the burden and trends in healthcare associated infections in Northeast Thailand; 2) investigate knowledge and beliefs amongst healthcare workers in a tertiary hospital in Northeast Thailand about hand hygiene and identify obstacles to improving it; 3) evaluate an intervention to improve hand hygiene compliance in this hospital based on World Health Organization guidelines. To address the first aim, a retrospective study was conducted using data from 10 provincial hospitals in Northeast Thailand (2004-2010). This demonstrated a high and increasing incidence of hospital-acquired and healthcare-associated bacteraemia, an increasing proportion of extended spectrum beta-lactamase -producing isolates, and high associated mortality. To address the second aim, a prospective study was conducted using qualitative and quantitative methods. This found that hand hygiene compliance was poor and differed markedly among categories of healthcare workers. Obstacles to good hand hygiene behaviour included intra-personal, inter-personal, and institutional factors. The third aim was addressed with a cluster-randomized trial to evaluate a multimodal intervention. The intervention was associated with small increases in hand hygiene compliance (OR 1.12; 95% CI 1.01 to 1.24, p = 0.027), though lack of adherence to the intervention was a major problem. Larger improvements were seen in some units (obstetrics and gynecology: OR 3.96; 95% CI 1.88 to 8.31, p < 0.001) and for some types of opportunities (before patient contact: OR 1.72; 95% CI 1.32 to 2.25, p < 0.001). The findings show that improvements in hygiene are possible, but multiple organizational factors need to be addressed to achieve acceptable hand hygiene levels in this setting.

description: QCD predictions for moments of multiplicity distributions are compared with experimental data on e+e- collisions and their two-NBD fits. Moments of the multiplicity distribution in a two-NBD model for 1.8 TeV pp collisions are considered. Three-NBD model predictions and fits for pp at LHC energies are also discussed. Analytic expressions for moments of hybrid NBD are derived and used to get insight into jet parameters and multicomponent structure of the processes. Interpretation of observed correlations is proposed.

description: Food prices, as measured by the Consumer Price Index, increased 3.2 percent in 1986, compared with a 2.3-percent rise in 1985. The larger rise partly reflected a 4.3-percent increase in meat, poultry, and fish prices whereas prices declined slightly in 1985. The prices farmers received for commodities, as measured by the farm value of USDA's market basket of foods, declined 1.3 percent. This decline and a much larger one in 1985 brought the 1986 farm value of foods to the lowest value since 1979. The farm-value share of a dollar spent at foodstores fell to 30 percent from 31 percent in 1985. The farm-to-retail price spread of USDA's market basket of foods rose by 3.7 percent, partly reflecting higher food industry labor costs from rising employment. Higher advertising, packaging, and other food marketing expenses also contributed to the rise in the farm-to-retail price spread.

description: The large-N limit of the two-dimensional U$(N)$ Yang-Mills theory on an arbitrary orientable compact surface with boundaries is studied. It is shown that if the holonomies of the gauge field on boundaries are near the identity, then the critical behavior of the system is the same as that of an orientable surface without boundaries with the same genus but with a modified area. The diffenece between this effective area and the real area of the surface is obtained and shown to be a function of the boundary conditions (holonomies) only. A similar result is shown to hold for the group SU$(N)$ and other simple groups.

description: Food prices, as measured by the Consumer Price Index, increased 2.3 percent in 1985, compared with a 3.8-percent rise in 1984. The smaller rise reflected large supplies of most commodities, particularly meats. The prices farmers received for commodities dropped sharply. The farm value of USDA's market basket of foods dropped 6.9 percent. This large decline brought the 1985 farm value of foods to nearly the same value as in 1980. In contrast, retail food prices rose 18 percent between 1980-85. The farm-value share of a dollar spent at foodstores fell to 31 percent from 34 percent in 1984. The farm-to­retail price spread of USDA's market basket of foods rose by 5.3 percent, the largest increase since 1982. Food industry marketing costs increased very little, mostly because of a small rise in wages and salaries of workers.

description: We report a numerical study of Rayleigh--Bénard convection through random porous media using pore-scale modelling, focusing on the Lagrangian dynamics of fluid particles and heat transfer for varied porosities $ϕ$. Due to the interaction between the porous medium and the coherent flow structures, the flow is found to be highly heterogeneous, consisting of convection channels with strong flow strength and stagnant regions with low velocities. The modifications of flow field due to porous structure have a significant influence on the dynamics of fluid particles. Evaluation of the particle displacement along the trajectory reveals the emergence of anomalous transport for long times as $ϕ$ is decreased, which is associated with the long-time correlation of Lagrangian velocity of the fluid. As porosity is decreased, the cross-correlation between the vertical velocity and temperature fluctuation is enhanced, which reveals a mechanism to enhance the heat transfer in porous media convection.

Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety

description: To assess and monitor the dietary status of Americans, the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion developed the Healthy Eating Index (HEI). The HEI is composed of IO components, each repre­senting different aspects of a healthful diet: Components 1-5 measure the degree to which a person's diet conforms to USDA's Food Guide Pyramid servmg recommen­dations for the five major food groups (grains. vegetables, fruits, milk, and meat); Components 6 and 7 measure total fat and saturated fat consumption as a percentage of total food energy intake; Components 8 and 9 measure total cholesterol and sodium intake; and Component IO examines variety in a person's diet. The HEI was computed for people 2 years of age and over and subgroups of the population using data from the 1994-96 Contmumg Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals. Most people have a diet that needs improvement. Approximately 12 percent of the population have a good diet. and 18 percent of people have a poor diet. Americans especially need to improve their fruit and milk products consumption. Males age 15 to 18. in particular, tend to have lower quality diets. African Amencans, people with low income. and those with a high school diploma or less education also have lower quality diets. These findings provide an awareness and better understanding of the types of dietary changes needed to improve people's eating patterns.

Modeling Urban Growth and Form with Spatial Entropy

Year: 2020

description: Entropy is one of physical bases for fractal dimension definition, and the generalized fractal dimension was defined by Renyi entropy. Using fractal dimension, we can describe urban growth and form and characterize spatial complexity. A number of fractal models and measurements have been proposed for urban studies. However, the precondition for fractal dimension application is to find scaling relations in cities. In absence of scaling property, we can make use of entropy function and measurements. This paper is devoted to researching how to describe urban growth by using spatial entropy. By analogy with fractal dimension growth models of cities, a pair of entropy increase models can be derived and a set of entropy-based measurements can be constructed to describe urban growing process and patterns. First, logistic function and Boltzmann equation are utilized to model the entropy increase curves of urban growth. Second, a series of indexes based on spatial entropy are used to characterize urban form. Further, multifractal dimension spectrums are generalized to spatial entropy spectrums. Conclusions are drawn as follows. Entropy and fractal dimension have both intersection and different spheres of application to urban research. Thus, for a given spatial measurement scale, fractal dimension can often be replaced by spatial entropy for simplicity. The models and measurements presented in this work are significant for integrating entropy and fractal dimension into the same framework of urban spatial analysis and understanding spatial complexity of cities.

description: This paper investigates the asymptotic behavior of the Helmholtz free energy of mixtures at small compressibility. We start from a general representation for the local free energy that is valid in stable subregions of the phase diagram. On the basis of this representation we classify the admissible data to construct a thermodynamically consistent constitutive model. We then analyze the incompressible limit, where the molar volume becomes independent of pressure. Here we are confronted with two problems: (i) Our study shows that the physical system at hand cannot remain incompressible for arbitrary large deviations from a reference pressure unless its volume is linear in the composition. (ii) As a consequence of the 2nd law of thermodynamics, the incompressible limit implies that the molar volume becomes independent of temperature as well. Most applications, however, reveal the non-appropriateness of this property. According to our mathematical treatment, the free energy as a function of temperature and partial masses tends to a limit in the sense of epi-- or Gamma--convergence. In the context of the first problem, we study the mixing of two fluids to compare the linearity with experimental observations. The second problem will be treated by considering the asymptotic behavior of both a general inequality relating thermal expansion and compressibility and a PDE-system relying on the equations of balance for partial masses, momentum and the internal energy.

Electron-nuclei spin relaxation through phonon-assisted hyperfine interaction in a quantum dot

description: We investigate the inelastic spin-flip rate for electrons in a quantum dot due to their contact hyperfine interaction with lattice nuclei. In contrast to other works, we obtain a spin-phonon coupling term from this interaction by taking directly into account the motion of nuclei in the vibrating lattice. In the calculation of the transition rate the interference of first and second orders of perturbation theory turns out to be essential. It leads to a suppression of relaxation at long phonon wavelengths, when the confining potential moves together with the nuclei embedded in the lattice. At higher frequencies (or for a fixed confining potential), the zero-temperature rate is proportional to the frequency of the emitted phonon. We address both the transition between Zeeman sublevels of a single electron ground state as well as the triplet-singlet transition, and we provide numerical estimates for realistic system parameters. The mechanism turns out to be less efficient than electron-nuclei spin relaxation involving piezoelectric electron-phonon coupling in a GaAs quantum dot.

description: Space radiation is a major risk for humans, especially on long-duration missions to outer space, e.g., a manned mission to Mars. Galactic cosmic rays (GCR) contribute a predictable radiation background, the main risk is due to the highly variable and currently unpredictable flux of solar energetic particles (SEPs). Such sporadic SEP events may induce acute health effects and are thus considered a critical mission risk for future human exploration of Mars. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to study, model, and predict the surface radiation environment during such events. It is well known that the deep-space SEP differential energy spectrum at high energies is often given by a power law. We use a measurement-validated particle transport code to show that, for large SEP events with proton energy extending above ~ 500 MeV with a power-law distribution, it is sufficient to measure the SEP flux at a pivot energy of ~ 300 MeV above the Martian atmosphere to predict the dose rate on the Martian surface. In conjunction with a validation by in-situ measurements from the Martian surface, this remarkable simplification and elegant quantification could enable instant predictions of the radiation environment on the surface of Mars upon the onset of large SEP events.

description: This paper deals with a new methodological approach allowing us to bring nutrition sensitive consumption closer to consumers’ attention. We establish a theoretical model in which individual choices (subjective utility) shall correspond better with choices at societal level (objective norms). A first hypothesis is that individual households, in their decisions on what foods to buy, additionally may depend on norms; not only taste. But this creates dissonance. A second hypothesis is: dissonance is minimized. This results in a modification of perceptions and valuation (preference ordering) on possible diets. The idea is to show how norms can modify individual households’ choices.

description: We find the conditions under which the spectrum of the unitary time evolution operator for a periodically rank-N kicked system remains pure point. This stability result allows one to analyse the onset of, or lack of chaos in this class of quantum mechanical systems, extending the results for rank-1 systems produced by Combescure and others. This work includes a number of unitary theorems equivalent to those well known and used in the self-adjoint theory.

description: This paper explores Italian consumers’ appreciation for health-related and environmentally friendly attributes of whole-wheat pasta. A modified version of the attribute-based referenda (ABR) model has been estimated on a sequence of two dichotomous choice questions randomly administered to a sample of households, starting as a single-attribute version (“adding” treatment) or a complete product version (“subtracting” treatment). The results suggest that taste and habits are considerable barriers, since only whole-wheat pasta consumers are willing to pay for health-related attributes. Overall, people are unwilling to pay for the environmental attribute even when informed of a product’s environmentally friendly method of production. However, the way in which the choice is framed is important, with higher values attached to attributes evaluated in the subtracting context, supporting prospect theory and the endowment effect

description: This paper investigates the notion of launching an innovative pet food segment labelled “made from animal welfare meat” to achieve an added value for by-products that accrue in the production of animal welfare meat. Since the pet food market is characterized by a large premium segment and pet owners are generally believed to be interested in the welfare of animals, the idea seems promising at first sight, but there is a lack of reliable evidence. Therefore, the main objective of this investigation was to determine, based on existing data from previous studies, the particular interest of pet owners in the welfare of farm animals before further cost-intensive studies are developed and conducted. The results of a comparison of pet owners’ and non–pet own-ers’ attitudes to the issue of animal welfare in livestock farming revealed highly significant differences. Pet owners not only have a more critical attitude towards intensive livestock farming but are also very interested in animal welfare meat and show a significantly higher willingness-to-pay for animal-friendly meat products. On the basis of these findings, specific studies analysing the market potential and the feasibility of pet food made of animal welfare meat are highly recommended.

description: Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) allows food plants to be reproducibly grown under conditions of optimal light, temperature, nutrition, and pest control. Space requirements are minimal, and so CEA is ideal for urban areas. Benefits are clear, but the long term economic viability of this new agricultural system is uncertain. We formalize the strategy space for innovation in CEA and discuss the extent to which it is served by investments in public sector agricultural research. We also present a unifying model of the relationship between the organoleptic and other food attributes desired by consumers and the suites of component technologies and business models capable of delivering these attributes via CEA.

description: We show how to generate stationary entanglement between light and microwave in a hybrid opto-electro-magnonical system which mainly consists of a microwave cavity, a yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere and a nanofiber. The optical modes in nanofiber can evanescently coupled to whispering gallery modes, that are able to interact with magnon mode via spin-orbit interaction, in YIG sphere, while the microwave cavity photons and magnons are coupled through magnetic dipole interaction simultaneously. Under reasonable parameter regimes, pretty amount of entanglement can be generated, and it also shows persistence against temperature. Our work is expected to provide a new perspective for building more advanced and comprehensive quantum networks along with magnons for fast-developing quantum technology and for studying the macroscopic quantum phenomena.

El cine de Román Chalbaud
Creators: name: Rodríguez, Omar
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis examines the feature films of Venezuelan director Roman Chalbaud in narrative, aesthefical and ideological terms. Chalbaud is the most prolific of all Venezuelan directors having released sixteen feature films and four shorts between 1958 and 2005. Spanning for almost fifty years, his works coincides with crucial economic and social junctures in Venezuelan recent history. His movies have been always concern with social issues and his artistic method has a marked popular tone. The dissertation reevaluates the commonly held view that his films offer a transparent critique of Venezuelan urban society and establishes the narratives elements on which his movies rest upon. The films analysed are typically regarded as an insightful depiction of marginal subjects against the background of social conflicts in an oil-driven country. However, his extensive controls over the artistic process and his reliance on elements from popular culture, popular religion and melodrama have resulted in movies filtered through an idiosyncratic lens, often portraying a reductionist side of Caracas social settings. In order to contrast the director's ideology and narrative method, some of the main tenets of narratology are revisited in light of Bakhtin's ideas o f narrative discourse. This approach facilitates the analysis of the modes in which the cinematographic discourse, in technical, stylistic and content-related terms, creates several juxtaposed and often contradictory channels of communication. The investigation ultimately leads to a new and dynamic understanding of Chalbaud's artistic procedures, obsessions and limitations.

description: The Italian legal framework for the agricultural sector has recently introduced a new form of contract, the “network contract”. The aim of this study is to verify if the use of this new contract would be appropriate to facilitate the adoption and diffusion of sustainable innovation of an Italian agri-food chain and to strengthen the agricultural role with dealing food processing companies. We focus on Piedmont, an Italian region where a soft wheat supply chain is in continuing evolution but is still very fragmented; indeed the two Producers Organization and one Consortium specialized in grain storage and trade only work around 30% of the grain produced annually. Following the framework of transaction cost we carried out a survey using semi-structured interviews as a qualitative analysis tool to gather the opinions of the primary operators in the Piedmont soft wheat supply chain. Initial results suggest that there is still an unsatisfactory horizontal coordination in the supply chain and that the network contract still seems to be little known and appreciated. However operators of the production stage of the chain consider the goals of improving the quality of the wheat and the economic and environmental sustainability very important but they think it would be difficult to achieve them simultaneously.

description: This paper addresses the issue of governance diversity of innovative semi wholesale SFSC such as multi stake-holder platforms acting as middlemen between local producers and buyers (individual and collective ones) wishing to procure local products. We apply the new institutional economics approach with special attention to ownership rights allocation (Hansmann, 1988), collective decision-making (Pozzobon and Zylbersztajn, 2013) and associated transaction costs (Williamson, 1991; Menard, 2004; Chaddad, 2012). Those concepts were already used in analysis of various agri-businesses, cooperatives and their vertical relations in supply chains but little has been done in terms of SFSC. We rely on this framework to provide a comparative analysis of their governance structures based on a detailed description of the “horizontal” relations among stake-holders and “vertical” relations between the platforms and their suppliers and customers.

description: The Radiation Assessment Detector (RAD), onboard the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover Curiosity, has been measuring the energetic charged and neutral particles and the radiation dose rate on the surface of Mars since the landing of the rover in August 2012. In contrast to charged particles, neutral particles (neutrons and gamma-rays) are measured indirectly: the energy deposition spectra produced by neutral particles are complex convolutions of the incident particle spectra with the detector response functions. An inversion technique has been developed and applied to jointly unfold the deposited energy spectra measured in two scintillators of different types (CsI for high gamma detection efficiency, and plastic for neutrons) to obtain the neutron and gamma-ray spectra. This result is important for determining the biological impact of the Martian surface radiation contributed by neutrons, which interact with materials differently from the charged particles. These first in-situ measurements on Mars provide (1) an important reference for assessing the radiation-associated health risks for future manned missions to the red planet and (2) an experimental input for validating the particle transport codes used to model the radiation environments within spacecraft or on the surface of planets. Here we present neutral particle spectra as well as the corresponding dose and dose equivalent rates derived from RAD measurement during a period (November 15, 2015 to January 15, 2016) for which the surface particle spectra have been simulated via different transport models.

description: In this paper we investigate the value of shared information between chain actors for improving daily operations in high-density logistics processes at distribution warehouses. We first define a generic high-density logistics process at a distribution warehouse based on real-world cases. Utilizing daily shared information about inbound flow (i.e. truck-arrival time) and outbound flow (i.e. required timeframes), we then propose daily process redesign on changing process parameters and evaluate their impact on the process performance using a discrete-event simulation model of a floricultural supply chain. Additionally, the impact of different information characteristics (i.e. timeliness, accuracy and completeness) on the effectiveness of the redesign decision are studied through different scenarios. This work contributes to a better understanding of the value of information in supporting decision-making at the operational level, particularly in warehouse operations. It also helps to raise the awareness of industrial managers regarding the use of information for improving process performance as well as the importance of information characteristics.
