description: Asymmetries between the emerging capital and credit market in the Republic of Macedonia in addition to the restructure of the agricultural sector limit the agricultural companies’ financial decisions and their possibilities to profit. Considering capital market imperfections typically for transition economies this paper attempts to identify empirical evidences for structural determinants on Macedonian agricultural companies’ financial performance and to explain the financial strategy of these companies to earn profit. The relationship between the ratio on assets return is used to measure financial performance and structural determinants of capital, earnings and financial business. The relationship is econometrically tested by the specification of a fixed-effect model. Following previous studies relaying on the pecking-order theory and the trade-off theory, the analysis applies on a dynamic panel data consisting of 26 Macedonian agricultural companies originating from the former agrokombinates, during the period 2006-2010. The agricultural companies’ capital structure determinant is tested by the specification of two different models: the first model uses debt-to-equity ratio as a capital structure indicator and the second one uses the debt ratio. Results suggest that Macedonian agricultural companies in the short run are limited by pricing flexibility undertaking different strategies to increase profitability. More efficient strategies are undertaken by growing agricultural companies operating on their fixed assets. However these agricultural companies are confronting with inefficiencies in the use of working capital reducing the ability to supply at an increase market demand. Statistical evidences do not support the hypothesis of that high-levered agricultural companies in Macedonia have higher opportunities to profit. Probably due to asymmetries between the national capital and credit markets and agricultural companies, increasing risk exposure. Hence, Macedonian agricultural companies prefer more assets than debt, considering financial risk in the long run decisions. This strategy seems to be a good financial strategy for growing agricultural companies with the ability to generate sufficient liquidity to meet exogenous market conditions.

description: Shortening of mRNA poly(A) tails (deadenylation) to trigger their decay is mediated mainly by the CCR4-NOT deadenylase complex. While four catalytic subunits (CNOT6, 6L 7, and 8) have been identified in the mammalian CCR4-NOT complex, their individual biological roles are not fully understood. In this study, we addressed the contribution of CNOT7/8 to viability of primary mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). We found that MEFs lacking CNOT7/8 expression [Cnot7/8-double knockout (dKO) MEFs] undergo cell death, whereas MEFs lacking CNOT6/6L expression (Cnot6/6l-dKO MEFs) remain viable. Co-immunoprecipitation analyses showed that CNOT6/6L are also absent from the CCR4-NOT complex in Cnot7/8-dKO MEFs. In contrast, either CNOT7 or CNOT8 still interacts with other subunits in the CCR4-NOT complex in Cnot6/6l-dKO MEFs. Exogenous expression of a CNOT7 mutant lacking catalytic activity in Cnot7/8-dKO MEFs cannot recover cell viability, even though CNOT6/6L exists to some extent in the CCR4-NOT complex, confirming that CNOT7/8 is essential for viability. Bulk poly(A) tail analysis revealed that mRNAs with longer poly(A) tails are more numerous in Cnot7/8-dKO MEFs than in Cnot6/6l-dKO MEFs. Consistent with elongated poly(A) tails, more mRNAs are upregulated and stabilized in Cnot7/8-dKO MEFs than in Cnot6/6l-dKO MEFs. Importantly, Cnot6/6l-dKO mice are viable and grow normally to adulthood. Taken together, the CNOT7/8 catalytic subunits are essential for deadenylation, which is necessary to maintain cell viability, whereas CNOT6/6L are not.

description: The paper analyzes the disposal of state-owned agricultural land in the Republic of Croatia in comparison with the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) that went through similar agrarian reforms. There are 890,214 ha of state-owned agricultural land in Croatia. The data shows that Croatia has not managed to accomplish the goals set by Programs for the disposal of state-owned agricultural land and only 20.6% of the state-owned agricultural land is offered for disposal by public tenders (sales, lease, concession, return and other purposes), similar to CEE. Therefore, the disposal of stateowned agricultural land is primarily important for the consolidation of farms and increasing their current average size.
Engineering Weyl phases and nonlinear Hall effects in T$_d$-MoTe$_2$

description: MoTe$_2$ has recently attracted much attention due to the observation of pressure-induced superconductivity, exotic topological phase transitions, and nonlinear quantum effects. However, there has been debate on the intriguing structural phase transitions among various observed phases of MoTe$_2$, and their connection to the underlying topological electronic properties. In this work, by means of density-functional theory (DFT+U) calculations, we investigate the structural phase transition between the polar T$_d$ and nonpolar 1T$'$ phases of MoTe$_2$ in reference to a hypothetical high-symmetry T$_0$ phase that exhibits higher-order topological features. In the T$_d$ phase we obtain a total of 12 Weyl points, which can be created/annihilated, dynamically manipulated, and switched by tuning a polar phonon mode. We also report the existence of a tunable nonlinear Hall effect in T$_d$-MoTe$_2$, and propose the use of this effect as a probe for the detection of polarity orientation in polar (semi)metals. By studying the role of dimensionality, we identify a configuration in which a nonlinear surface response current emerges. The potential technological applications of the tunable Weyl phase and the nonlinear Hall effect are discussed.

description: We investigate the charge transport in synthetic DNA polymers built up from single types of base pairs. In the context of a polaron-like model, for which an electronic tight-binding system and bond vibrations of the double helix are coupled, we present estimates for the electron-vibration coupling strengths utilizing a quantum-chemical procedure. Subsequent studies concerning the mobility of polaron solutions, representing the state of a localized charge in unison with its associated helix deformation, show that the system for poly(dG)-poly(dC) and poly(dA)-poly(dT) DNA polymers, respectively possess quantitatively distinct transport properties. While the former supports unidirectionally moving electron breathers attributed to highly efficient long-range conductivity the breather mobility in the latter case is comparatively restrained inhibiting charge transport. Our results are in agreement with recent experimental results demonstrating that poly(dG)-poly(dC) DNA molecules acts as a semiconducting nanowire and exhibits better conductance than poly(dA)-poly(dT) ones.

Several models proposed for the distribution of the initial parameters of the galactic pulsar population are considered. The best description of the observed cosmic ray spectrum and mass composition between 10^15 eV and 10^18 eV is obtained for the model B of Lorimer et al. (1993) in which the logs of initial pulsar periods and surface magnetic fields are given by the Gaussian distributions with the average values of log P[ms] = 2.6 and log B[G] = 12.3, respectively.

description: In this letter, we discuss how thermal fluctuations can effect the stability of (generally) charged black holes when close to certain critical points. Our novel treatment utilizes the black hole area spectrum (which is, for definiteness, taken to be evenly spaced) and makes an important distinction between fixed and fluctuating charge systems (with these being modeled, respectively, as a canonical and grand canonical ensemble.) The discussion begins with a summary of a recent technical paper [gr-qc/0305018]. We then go on to consider the issue of stability when the system approaches the critical points of interest. These include the $d$-dimensional analogue of the Hawking-Page phase transition, a phase transition that is relevant to Reissner-Nordstrom black holes and various extremal-limiting cases.

description: Candida zeylanoides P1 was investigated as whole cell biocatalyst for the bioreduction of biaryl prochiral ketones into chiral carbinols, which can be used as pharmaceutical intermediate. Bioreduction of different biaryl ketones was carried out to their corresponding chiral biaryl carbinols such as (S)-(4-chlorophenyl) (phenyl) methanol (2a), which can be used in the synthesis of L-cloperastine drug, with antitussive, antiepidemic activity and bronchial musculature relaxant characteristics, in gram scale, enantiopure form (>99%) and excellent yields. The selectivity of C. zeylanoides P1 in enantioselective reduction of biaryl ketones was not affected by the steric and electronic effects of substrates. The current method demonstrates an encouraging green chemistry approach for the production of biaryl secondary chiral alcohols of pharmaceutical importance in mild, inexpensive and environmentally friendly process. The present study has many benefits since this yeast biocatalyst were successfully applied bioreduction of structurally bulky prochiral substrates, which cannot be reducted by chemical catalysis.

description: This paper explores the process of structural change in the post-transition Romania. A multinomial logit provides the technique to investigate the determinants of labour adjustments in the period 2003-06.The results suggest that male, younger and better educated individuals are more likely to leave agriculture and flow to industry and services, whereas self-employed farmers and family workers are less inclined to leave the agricultural sector. The findings are important from a policy point of view, suggesting the need for investments in human capital specifically in education with the purpose of enhancing the mobility of labour and facilitating a more efficient labour allocation. At the same time favourable labour market conditions need to be in place to sustain job creation and a smooth transition across activities.

description: We study the occurrence and nature of naked singularities for a dust model with non-zero cosmological constant in ($n+2$)-dimensional Szekeres space-times (which possess no Killing vectors) for $n\geq 2$. We find that central shell-focusing singularities may be locally naked in higher dimensions but depend sensitively on the choice of initial data. In fact, the nature of the initial density determines the possibility of naked singularity in space-times with more than five dimensions. The results are similar to the collapse in spherically symmetric Tolman-Bondi-Lema\^ıtre space-times.

O objetivo do trabalho foi analisar o desenvolvimento das exportações da manga no pólo, no período de 1990 a 2002. Fez-se também uma aplicação econométrica com a finalidade de explicar o comportamento das exportações brasileiras de manga, tendo como variáveis explicativas a taxa real de câmbio efetiva, a renda externa, preço internacional da manga e uma variável binária a fim de captar o impacto da adoção de tecnologia. Os dados foram coletados junto à Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) e ao Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e estatística (IBGE). No período de 1997 a 2002, o total de 183.320t de mangas exportadas pelo Brasil, 90% foram colhidas em pomares do pólo Juazeiro/Petrolina – o que demonstra a importância do mesmo. De acordo com os resultados da modelagem econométrica contatou-se que o valor das exportações brasileiras é afetado pelas variações conjuntas das variáveis usadas no modelo. Quanto ao desempenho da mangicultura brasileira, embora o Brasil tenha ainda um papel pequeno nas exportações mundiais, obteve um crescimento significativo (2.136%) no período de analise.

description: Evidencia-se um atraso tecnológico e científico na região amazônica, que caminha para irreversibilidade, pela incapacidade de competição com centros mais dinâmicos do país e do mundo. A pesquisa científica e tecnológica na Amazônia precisa avançar no modelo fabril de produtividade científica e avaliação administrativa, adotando procedimentos tayloristas e de fordismo, sem vetar a criatividade dos pesquisadores. Na região amazônica a comunidade acadêmica não tem alcançado o grande impacto que a sociedade dela está esperando. Realça a fraqueza da comunidade acadêmica local e do desvio de suas funções, necessitando de maiores investimentos na formação de recursos humanos no sentido amplo. Ressalta-se que soluções tecnológicas previstas que ainda não aconteceram estão prejudicando seriamente os rumos dos acontecimentos na Amazônia. A perspectiva da visão empresarial da importância da geração de conhecimentos práticos, baseada muito no processo de erro-acerto, sobretudo no hinterland, mostra que a colaboração da comunidade acadêmica tem sido ainda muito acanhada. Há necessidade de maior integração dos centros de pesquisa com o setor empresarial, que apresentam grandes limitações tecnológicas, sobretudo de “natureza biológica” para a criação de novas alternativas de renda e emprego. As tecnologias “mecânicas” são facilmente transferíveis, como fábricas, motosserras, tratores, colheitadeiras, celulares etc. quase simultâneas, com as áreas mais dinâmicas do país e do mundo. No campo da biodiversidade, a C&T na Amazônia deveria aproveitar os conhecimento dos atores amazônicos, como indígenas, populações tradicionais e extrativistas promovendo a sua modernização. Deveria aproveitar a biodiversidade do passado e do presente e de planos concretos com relação à biodiversidade futura, no qual reserva a C&T grandes possibilidades de descobertas de novas opções para a geração de renda e emprego.

description: The possibility of appearance of GUT precursors near the TeV scale (suggested by Dienes-Dudas-Gherghetta) is addressed within 5D GUTs compactified on an $S^{(1)}/Z_2\tm Z_2'$ orbifold. For a low compactification scale (large radius), there is a significant non universal logarithmic contribution in the relative running of gauge couplings. This within 5D SU(5), with the minimal field content, gives wrong prediction for $\al_3(M_Z)$ unless one goes beyond the minimal setting. The realization of the light precursors' idea thus requires some specific extensions. As a scenario alternative to SU(5) we also consider an SU(6) orbifold GUT, whose minimal non SUSY version gives natural unification. In all the presented unification scenarios with light precursors, various GUT scales are realized. This allows the model to be naturally embedded in either heterotic or Type ${\rm I}$ string theories.

description: Mechanization and technological advancement has been the cornerstone of agricultural prosperity in the United States and has served as a flagship to the rest of the world. Farm machinery and equipment sales for the three largest manufactures in 2011 reached nearly $60 billion and higher sales are projected for the future. Many factors have been attributed to this increase in sales including high commodity prices, low interest rates, and favorable government policies toward agricultural producers. This study will seek to model producer production expenses on farm machinery and equipment and decipher which factors are significant for explaining demand for farm machinery.

description: The article provides an extensive scientific analysis of research conducted in the field of sociolinguistics in Azerbaijani linguistics during the years of independence. It is noted that sociolinguistics, as one of the youngest branches of linguistics, studies the relationship between language and society. The article also touches on the problematic aspects of research in the field of sociolinguistics in Azerbaijan. The main development models and directions of sociolinguistic linguistics in both world linguistics and modern Azerbaijani linguistics are discussed in detail here. The researches of Abulfaz Rajabli, Rasim Heydarov, Jahid Kazimov in the field of sociolinguistics in Azerbaijani linguistics are widely analyzed. It also draws attention to the factors that create sociolinguistics and shows the psychological aspects of the emergence of this field of linguistics. Also, the history of sociolinguistics in world linguistics is considered, and its main directions of development are discussed. Here the author expresses a subjective attitude to the problems of language and society, language relations. It is especially noted that the role of language in society is great, and language relations, language policy are one of the main priorities of solinguistics.

description:
Solar drying of agricultural products has been researched and practiced for several decades, especially in tropical and subtropical regions with and without energy storage. However, tests of such dryers have almost invariably been done as fixed-size units and under the local weather conditions, since doing otherwise is costly and impractical. Here we present the computer programs necessary to calculate the performance a solar air heater, a latent heat storage unit and a fixed bed dryer, which can be used independently or together to simulate a solar dryer with or without energy storage. The models are relatively detailed but easy to use and versions of them are available in Python 3, Fortran 90 and as TRNSYS Types.

description: The results of the research on the study of pre-sowing treatment of soybean seeds with biostimulant and bioinoculant in the experimental field of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University are presented. Peculiarities of phenological development of the studied soybean varieties are established. Peculiarities of formation of one of the most important components of soybean crop formation formation plant density at the time of germination and their survival, the number of plants per unit area before harvesting are analyzed. According to the results of research conducted at the experimental sites, the effect of seed treatment with biostimulant and bioinoculant on field germination, density and survival of plants of the studied soybean varieties was revealed. It is established that on average for 2019-2020, depending on the action of intensification factors, the field germination of soybeans also changed, which influenced the formation of the plant density indicator for the period of full germination. As a result of the conducted researches, the influence of seed treatment with microelements and strain of nitrogen-fixing bacteria on the dynamics of plant height formation of soybean varieties was also revealed.

description: Mode conversion and resonant absorption are crucial mechanisms for wave transport and absorption. Scaling behavior of mode conversion or resonant absorption is well-known for electromagnetic and MHD waves in planar geometry. Our recent study showed that such a scaling behavior of resonant absorption could also exist for coronal loop oscillations with cylindrical geometry, but it was only tested for one density profile. Here we generalise our previous study on the scaling behavior of resonant absorption by considering multiple density profiles. Applying an invariant imbedding method to the ideal MHD wave equations, we show that the scaling behavior also exists for these density models. We thus generalise our earlier results and show that such a universal scaling exists in cylindrical geometry, too. Given these results and the earlier results in planar geometry, we formulate a hypothesis that a universal scaling behavior exists regardless of the type of mode conversion or resonant absorption.

description: We study the second harmonic generation (SHG) in a suspension of small spherical particles confined within a slab, assuming undepleted pump and applying (i) single scattering approximation and (ii) diffusion approximation. In the case (i), the angular diagram, the differential and total crossections of the SHG process, as well as the average cosine of SH scattering angle are calculated. In the case (ii), the average SH intensity is found to show no explicit dependence on the linear scattering properties of the suspension. The average intensity of SH wave scales as I_0 L / Λ_2 in both cases (i) and (ii), where I_0 is the intensity of the incident wave, L is the slab thickness, and Λ_2 is an intensity-dependent "SH scattering" length.

description: Soft colloids are increasingly used as model systems to address fundamental issues such as crystallisation and the glass and jamming transitions. Among the available classes of soft colloids, microgels are emerging as the gold standard. Since their great internal complexity makes their theoretical characterization very hard, microgels are commonly modelled, at least in the small-deformation regime, within the simple framework of linear elasticity theory. Here we show that there exist conditions where its range of validity can be greatly extended, providing strong numerical evidence that microgels adsorbed at an interface follow the two-dimensional Hertzian theory, and hence behave like 2D elastic particles, up to very large deformations, in stark contrast to what found in bulk conditions. We are also able to estimate the Young's modulus of the individual particles and, by comparing it with its counterpart in bulk conditions, we demonstrate a significant stiffening of the polymer network at the interface. Finally, by analyzing dynamical properties, we predict multiple reentrant phenomena: by a continuous increase of particle density, microgels first arrest and then re-fluidify due to the high penetrability of their extended coronas. We observe this anomalous behavior in a range of experimentally accessible conditions for small and loosely crosslinked microgels. The present work thus establishes microgels at interfaces as a new model system for fundamental investigations, paving the way for the experimental synthesis and research on unique high-density liquidlike states. In addition, these results can guide the development of novel assembly and patterning strategies on surfaces and the design of novel materials with desired interfacial behavior.

description: We show that, in the context of brane-world scenarios with low tension $τ=f^4$, massive brane fluctuations are natural dark matter candidates. We calculate the present abundances for both hot(warm) and cold branons in terms of the branon mass $M$ and the tension scale $f$. The results are compared with the current experimental bounds on these parameters. We also study the prospects for their detection in direct search experiments and comment on their characteristic signals in the indirect ones.

description: The results of research on the formation of table beet yield depending on the influence of biological products in the right-bank forest-steppe of Ukraine are presented. The duration of interphase periods was influenced by varietal characteristics and the action of biological drugs. The duration of the interphase period of mass germination – the end of the growing season under the action of the biological product Organic Balance + Azotophyte + Liposam in both variants was 67 days, which is three days less than in the control variant. Under the action of the biological product Humifrend + Azotophyte + Liposam, the duration of the period of mass germination – the end of the growing season was 69 days, compared with the control version one day less. The average yield was higher in the hybrid Pablo F1 and was 72.6 t / ha, compared to the control, this figure is higher by 8.5 t / ha, in the variety Red Ball the average yield is 65.3 t / ha, which is higher than the control variant at 4.9 t / ha.

description: Recently, biomedical version of embeddings obtained from language models such as BioELMo have shown state-of-the-art results for the textual inference task in the medical domain. In this paper, we explore how to incorporate structured domain knowledge, available in the form of a knowledge graph (UMLS), for the Medical NLI task. Specifically, we experiment with fusing embeddings obtained from knowledge graph with the state-of-the-art approaches for NLI task (ESIM model). We also experiment with fusing the domain-specific sentiment information for the task. Experiments conducted on MedNLI dataset clearly show that this strategy improves the baseline BioELMo architecture for the Medical NLI task.

description:
Data extraction is a crucial, yet labor-intensive and error-prone part of evidence synthesis. To date, efforts to harness machine learning for enhancing efficiency of the data extraction process have fallen short of achieving sufficient accuracy and usability. With the release of large language models (LLMs), new possibilities have emerged to increase efficiency and accuracy of data extraction for evidence synthesis. The objective of this proof-of-concept study was to assess the performance of an LLM (Claude 2) in extracting data elements from published studies, compared with human data extraction as employed in systematic reviews. Our analysis utilized a convenience sample of 10 English-language, open-access publications of randomized controlled trials included in a single systematic review. We selected 16 distinct types of data, posing varying degrees of difficulty (160 data elements across 10 studies). We used the browser version of Claude 2 to upload the portable document format of each publication and then prompted the model for each data element. Across 160 data elements, Claude 2 demonstrated an overall accuracy of 96.3% with a high test-retest reliability (replication 1: 96.9%; replication 2: 95.0% accuracy). Overall, Claude 2 made 6 errors on 160 data items. The most common errors (n = 4) were missed data items. Importantly, Claude 2's ease of use was high; it required no technical expertise or labeled training data for effective operation (i.e., zero-shot learning). Based on findings of our proof-of-concept study, leveraging LLMs has the potential to substantially enhance the efficiency and accuracy of data extraction for evidence syntheses.
