description: In the contemporary conditions of the pronounces dynamism of competition, clearly articulated demands of the social community and increasingly loud ecological requirements, socially responsible business activities become an indispensable strategy of responsible and ethical management of the company. Depending on how well companies manage socially responsible projects, it depends on the degree of sustainable development and the level of quality of relations with the community. Having this in mind, the paper aims to provide a better and more complete understanding of socially responsible behavior of companies in relations with the social community. Consequently, the significance of social responsibility and the role of social investments for community development are in the focus of the paper. The competencies of corporate social responsibility managers for community development have also been analyzed in order to better understand the new role and responsibility of companies.

description: In this publication, we present a set of Circular Principles and Indicators that can help guide cities in the transition toward a regenerative circular economy. The circular economy has been widely employed to mean an economy where materials flow in loops or cycles, human activity runs on renewable energy, economic growth is decoupled from resource use, and natural capital is invested in.
 With the term regenerative circular economy, we aim to emphasize three main themes. First, we use the term regenerative to place emphasis on net-positive outcomes and expand beyond the narrow focus of system optimization towards more generative, creative system outcomes. Second, our vision of a regenerative circular economy also foregrounds the importance of place-based and context-specific analysis and action. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach to circular economy principles, we emphasize principles that frame the economy as a nested system spanning local, regional, national, and global scales of production and consumption. In particular, local and regional scales are where latent regenerative potential can be found. Third, we take inspiration from living systems by foregrounding change and adaptive management of socio-ecological systems. We propose learning from the way
 resources in natural ecosystems flow. This leads us away from a mindset of engineering tightly controlled closed loops of materials that are isolated from living systems to designing our products to be nutrients for living systems at local and regional scales.

description: Silage maize as a fodder crop has been still produced in Republic of Serbia at insufficient surfaces, mostly at holdings focused to livestock production, providing on that way adequate volume of quality animal feed. In order to determine economic effects of production in paper is used analytical calculation based on variable costs, as well as method of critical values of production and sensitive analysis. Analysis covers three year period, involving comparison of gained results. Paper goal is to present the results achieved in mentioned production, as to evaluate the importance of yields height to gained contribution margin (positive contribution margin was determined within the complete period).
Skateparks vs. The City
Creators: name: Ross, Nathan
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: Public space plays a fundamental role in creating the high quality of life enjoyed in cities. However as cities grow, so too do our demands of this limited shared resource. Ideas of what is permissible in public space is a highly contentious topic, with fringe activities typically pushed out in favour of less obtrusive uses. Skateboarding is a prime example of an activity that has a wide range of benefits for the city but continues to be actively excluded in the design of public space through the use of defensive architectures. As designers of the public realm, landscape architects have an obligation to design more inclusive public space and approach tensions of cohabitation as an opportunity rather than a threat. This project redefines the city of Vancouver as a skate-city and integrates skate-friendly public space design into multiple locations across the downtown core. In doing so, this project hopes to expand conventional notions of acceptable use in pursuit of a more inclusive design ethic.

description: Large-scale PDE simulations using high-order finite-element methods on unstructured meshes are an indispensable tool in science and engineering. The widely used open-source PETSc library offers an efficient representation of generic unstructured meshes within its DMPlex module. This paper details our recent implementation of parallel mesh reading and topological interpolation (computation of edges and faces from a cell-vertex mesh) into DMPlex. We apply these developments to seismic wave propagation scenarios on Mars as an example application. The principal motivation is to overcome single-node memory limits and reach mesh sizes which were impossible before. Moreover, we demonstrate that scalability of I/O and topological interpolation goes beyond 12'000 cores, and memory-imposed limits on mesh size vanish.

description: Business on tourism market requires perception of the interests of supply and demand at micro and macro level. The tendency is to place the market products on the market that enable the achievement of the business goal and the satisfaction of both sides, supply and. demand. Rural tourism with its specificities, requires a careful approach to tourist demand and its segments, i.e. niches. Consistent implementation of the marketing concept with adequate investments policy and market research, creation and placement of a tourist product is a guarantee of success on the market. Serbia has respectable resources for the development of rural tourism (natural and social). However, in practice, the problem arises in the insufficient recognition of local stakeholders in the ability to put these resources in an adequate manner in the function of tourism development, as well as local communities, more broadly. The aim of the paper work is to present a marketing approach in formation and promotion the rural tourism product, based on the resources the Republic of Serbia has.

description: We consider a two dimensional colloidal dispersion of soft-core particles driven by a one dimensional stochastic flashing ratchet that induces a time averaged directed particle current through the system. It undergoes a non-equilibrium melting transition as the directed current approaches a maximum associated with a resonance of the ratcheting frequency with the relaxation frequency of the system. We use extensive molecular dynamics simulations to present a detailed phase diagram in the ratcheting rate-mean density plane. With the help of numerically calculated structure factor, solid and hexatic order parameters, and pair correlation functions, we show that the non-equilibrium melting is a continuous transition from a quasi-long ranged ordered solid to a hexatic phase. The transition is mediated by the unbinding of dislocations, and formation of compact and string-like defect clusters.

description: Gender dysphoria (GD), previously called as Gender identity disorder (GID), is a rare conditioncharacterized by an incongruity between gender identity and biological sex. We present a case of an adult,biological male diagnosed schizophrenia with gender dysphoria. The present case supports this view as thepatient showed features of GD much before the onset of schizophrenia and the latter subsided with thetreatment but not the former. This may suggest that the GD is a comparatively stable belief of sex changeand the schizophrenic symptoms occurred as florid exacerbation of the trait. This article explores theconcept of gender dysphoria and the role of psychological interventions in its management. A case ofgender dysphoria with co-morbid schizophrenia is reported here.

description: Described will be a new database under the University Information System RUSSIA (UIS RUSSIA, www.cir.ru) project. There is no practice of regular household surveys at the government level in Russia. The first household-based survey, National Survey of Households Well-being and Participation in Social Programs, took place in 2003 and covered 45,000 households in 46 Russian regions. It includes 227 variables aggregated to 13 parts. These survey results are the initial data holdings downloaded into the database. Our database provides for almost the full range of services under the Harvard-MIT Data Center's Virtual Data Center and SDA Archive. In the second stage of our project other resources developed in Russia and in international research centers will be included. The most famous project is the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey, which covers 13 nationally representative surveys beginning in 1992, conducted by the Carolina Population Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in collaboration with the Russian Federal Statistics Agency and several Russian institutes. As a next stage of our project knowledge products will be integrated. An ontology to provide for content-based indexing and search is under construction.University Information System RUSSIA (UIS RUSSIA, www.cir.ru) has been designed and is maintained as a digital thematic library for research and education in economics and the social sciences, in operation since January 2000. The most requested module is RF state statistics. Value-added services for economic and social statistics is a main direction of the UIS RUSSIA development. In 2005 we began to create a database for investigations of life quality and economic welfare of households and individuals. The primary survey that is downloaded to the database is the National Survey of Households Well-being and Participation in Social Programs. The survey took place in 2003 and covered 45,000 households in 46 Russian regions. It includes 227 variables aggregated to 13 parts. While working on the database we investigated the experience of Harvard-MIT Data Center's Virtual Data Center and SDA Archive.

description: Highly porous small bodies are thought to have been ubiquitous in the early solar system. Therefore, it is essential to understand the collision process of highly porous objects when considering the collisional evolution of primitive small bodies in the solar system. To date, impact disruption experiments have been conducted using high-porosity targets made of ice, pumice, and glass, and numerical simulations of impact fracture of porous bodies have also been conducted. However, a variety of internal structures of high-porosity bodies are possible. Therefore,laboratory experiments and numerical simulations in the wide parameter space are necessary. In this study, high-porosity targets of sintered hollow glass beads and targets made by mixing perlite with hollow beads were used in a collision disruption experiment to investigate the effects of the mixture on collisional destruction of high-porosity bodies. Among the targets prepared under the same sintering conditions, it was found that the targets with more impurities tend to have lower compressive strength and lower resistance against impact disruption. Further, destruction of the mixture targets required more impact energy density than would have been expected from compressive strength. It is likely that the perlite grains in the target matrix inhibit crack growth through the glass framework. The mass fraction of the largest fragment collapsed to a single function of a scaling parameter of energy density in the strength regime (Π_s) when assuming ratios of tensile strength to compressive strength based on a relationship obtained for ice-silicate mixtures.

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: Energy transport in one-dimensional chains of particles with three conservation laws is generically anomalous and belongs to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang dynamical universality class. Surprisingly, some examples where an apparent normal heat diffusion is found over a large range of length scales were reported. We propose a novel physical explanation of these intriguing observations. We develop a scaling analysis which explains how this may happen in the vicinity of an integrable limit, such as, but not only, the famous Toda model. In this limit, heat transport is mostly supplied by quasi-particles with a very large mean free path $\ell$. Upon increasing the system size $L$, three different regimes can be observed: a ballistic one, an intermediate diffusive range, and, eventually, the crossover to the anomalous (hydrodynamic) regime. Our theoretical considerations are supported by numerical simulations of a gas of diatomic hard-point particles for almost equal masses and of a weakly perturbed Toda chain. Finally, we discuss the case of the perturbed harmonic chain, which exhibits a yet different scenario.

description: Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWFs) is important participant in global financial market. Although they were arisen more than fifty years ago, in the theory they have not been explored. In the literature, there is no relevant theoretical and empirical material on the basis of which we can make reliable economic objectification of financial assets available to SWFs, and even more difficult to realize their investment objectives and strategy. There are relatively few comparable data on their assets, investment strategy and management, indicating a lack of transparency of SWFs. It has prompted us, referring to the available contemporary theory and practice of progressive developed countries, to study the structure of the investment portfolio, investment models, countries and companies invested by SWFs. In the paper, we are looking for an answer to the question: Can SWFs in the global economic and financial crisis significantly mitigate its consequences? The results of the research we will test on the most developed SWFs.

description: With the end of both Dennard's scaling and Moore's law, computer users and researchers are aggressively exploring alternative forms of computing in order to continue the performance scaling that we have come to enjoy. Among the more salient and practical of the post-Moore alternatives are reconfigurable systems, with Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Architectures (CGRAs) seemingly capable of striking a balance between performance and programmability. In this paper, we survey the landscape of CGRAs. We summarize nearly three decades of literature on the subject, with a particular focus on the premise behind the different CGRAs and how they have evolved. Next, we compile metrics of available CGRAs and analyze their performance properties in order to understand and discover knowledge gaps and opportunities for future CGRA research specialized towards High-Performance Computing (HPC). We find that there are ample opportunities for future research on CGRAs, in particular with respect to size, functionality, support for parallel programming models, and to evaluate more complex applications.

description: Accurate muscle geometry is essential to estimate moment arms in musculoskeletal models. Given the complex interactions between shoulder structures, we hypothesized that finite element (FE) modelling is suitable to obtain physiological muscle trajectory. A FE glenohumeral joint model was developed based on medical imaging. Moment arms were computed and compared to literature and MRI-based estimation. Our FE model produces moment arms consistent with the literature and with MRI data (max 17 mm differences). The inferior and superior fibres of a same muscle can have opposite action; predictions of moment arms are sensitive to muscle insertion (up to 20 mm variation).

description: Super-Earths and mini-Neptunes exhibit great diversity in their compositional and orbital properties. Their bulk densities span a large range, from those dense enough to be purely rocky to those needing a substantial contribution from volatiles to their volumes. Their orbital configurations range from compact, circular multi-transiting systems like Kepler-11 to systems like our Solar System's terrestrial planets with wider spacings and modest but significant eccentricities and mutual inclinations. Here we investigate whether a continuum of formation conditions resulting from variation in the amount of solids available in the inner disk can account for the diversity of orbital and compositional properties observed for super Earths, including the apparent dichotomy between single transiting and multiple transiting system. We simulate in situ formation of super-Earths via giant impacts and compare to the observed Kepler sample. We find that intrinsic variations among disks in the amount of solids available for in situ formation can account for the orbital and compositional diversity observed among Kepler's transiting planets. Our simulations can account for the planets' distributions of orbital period ratios, transit duration ratios, and transit multiplicity; higher eccentricities for single than multi transiting planets; smaller eccentricities for larger planets; scatter in the mass-radius relation, including lower densities for planets with masses measured with TTVs than RVs; and similarity in planets' sizes and spacings within each system. Our findings support the theory that variation among super-Earth and mini-Neptune properties is primarily locked in by different in situ formation conditions, rather than arising stochastically through subsequent evolution.

An extended scheme for fitting X-ray data with accretion disk spectra in the strong gravity regime

description: Accreting black holes are believed to emit X-rays which then mediate information about strong gravity in the vicinity of the emission region. We report on a set of new routines for the Xspec package for analysing X-ray spectra of black-hole accretion disks. The new computational tool significantly extends the capabilities of the currently available fitting procedures that include the effects of strong gravity, and allows one to systematically explore the constraints on more model parameters than previously possible (for example black-hole angular momentum). Moreover, axial symmetry of the disk intrinsic emissivity is not assumed, although it can be imposed to speed up the computations. The new routines can be used also as a stand-alone and flexible code with the capability of handling time-resolved spectra in the regime of strong gravity. We have used the new code to analyse the mean X-ray spectrum from the long XMM--Newton 2001 campaign of the Seyfert 1 galaxy MCG--6-30-15. Consistent with previous findings, we obtained a good fit to the broad Fe K line profile for a radial line intrinsic emissivity law in the disk which is not a simple power law, and for near maximal value of black hole angular momentum. However, equally good fits can be obtained also for small values of the black hole angular momentum. The code has been developed with the aim of allowing precise modelling of relativistic effects. Although we find that current data cannot constrain the parameters of black-hole/accretion disk system well, the approach allows, for a given source or situation, detailed investigations of what features of the data future studies should be focused on in order to achieve the goal of uniquely isolating the parameters of such systems.

After analyzing the conditions on the four-form flux, we establish a set of relations between the components of the intrinsic torsion of the internal manifold and the components of the four-form flux needed for preserving supersymmetry. The existence of two nowhere vanishing vectors on any seven-manifold with G_2 structure plays a crucial role in our analysis, leading to the possibility of four-dimensional compactifications with N=1 and N=2 supersymmetry.

description: A general relativistic solution, composed of a Zel'dovich-Letelier interior made of radial strings matched through a spherical thin shell at radius $r_0$ to an exterior Schwarzschild solution with mass $m$, is presented. It is the Zel'dovich-Letelier-Schwarzschild star. When the radius $r_0$ of the star is shrunk to its gravitational radius $2m$, the solutions have interesting properties. There are solutions with $m=0$ and $r_0=0$ that obey $\frac{2m}{r_0}=1$. The solutions have a horizon, but are not black holes, they are quasiblack holes, though atypical. The proper mass $m_p$ of the interior is nonzero and made of one string. Hence, a Minkowski exterior space hides an interior with matter in a pit. These are the pit solutions and show a maximal mass defect. There are two classes of pit solutions, one a finite string and the other a semi-infinite one. These pits are really string pits, that can be seen as Wheeler bags of gold, albeit squashed bags. There is another class, which is a compact stringy star at the $\frac{2m}{r_0}=1$ limit with $m$ nonzero. It is a typical quasiblack hole and it has maximal mass defect. Generically pit solutions with $\frac{2m}{r_0}=1$ and $m=0$ can exist with maximal mass defects. The Zel'dovich-Letelier-Schwarzschild star at the $r_0=2m$ limit is an instance of it. These three classes of static solutions yield the same spectrum of solutions that appear in critical gravitational collapse, there are solutions that yield naked null singularities, which here are the two string pit classes, there are solutions that yield black holes, which here are represented by the compact stringy stars at the quasiblack hole limit, and the solutions that disperse away in critical collapse here are the static Zel'dovich-Letelier-Schwarzschild stars. Thermodynamics of the string pit and stringy star quasiblack hole solutions is provided, and other connections are mentioned.

description: Star formation involves the flow of gas and dust within molecular clouds into protostars and young stellar objects (YSOs) due to gravity. Along the way, these flows are shaped significantly by many other mechanisms, including pressure, turbulent motions, magnetic fields, stellar feedback, jets, and angular momentum. How all these mechanisms interact nonlinearly with each other on various length scales leads to the formation and evolution of substructures within clouds, including filaments, clumps, cores, disks, outflows, the protostars/YSOs themselves, and planets. In this white paper, prepared for the 2020 Long Range Plan panel which will recommend Canada's future directions for astronomy, we describe the observational and theoretical leadership in the star formation field that Canada's vibrant community has demonstrated over the past decade. Drawing from this extensive background, we identify five key questions that must be addressed for further progress to be made in understanding star formation in the next decade. Addressing these questions will improve our understanding of the dynamics of the dense gas and the role of the magnetic field in star formation, the optical properties of the dust used to trace mass and magnetic fields, the sources of variability in star-forming objects on short timescales, and the physical processes that specifically promote the clustering of stars. We further highlight key facilities in which Canada should become involved to continue making progress in this field. Single-dish facilities we recommend include LSST, trans-atmospheric far-infrared telescopes like BLAST-TNG and SPICA, and ground-based telescopes like JCMT, GBT, and CCAT-p. Interferometric facilities we recommend include ALMA, ngVLA, and SKA1.

Enabling Discovery, Integration, and Understanding of Criminal Justice Statistical Information: Developing a Metadata Application Profile
Creators: name: Hert, Carol A.
name: Denn, Sheila O.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2006

description: This project, funded by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), has the goal of developing and testing a metadata schema to support end-user discovery of criminal justice statistical information. Project partners are BJS, the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data, the Federal Criminal Justice Resource Center, Sourcebook of Criminal Justice Statistics, the FBI Uniform Crime Reports, and the U.S. Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. The schema draws on other metadata standardization efforts including DDI, ISO1179, SDMX, and NIEM. In addition to schema development, we are undertaking user studies to better understand how the schema can best facilitate end-user discovery activities. By the time of the IASSIST meeting, we will have completed schema development and testing, and be engaged in user studies. We will report on the development activities with a focus on explicating the connections to other schemas and associated development issues. In addition, we will present an overview of the user studies and present findings to date.
(Re)presenting Sites : Unfolding Realities
Creators: name: Peruniak, Kathryn
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: The purpose of this thesis is to examine and critique the current limitations of architectural drawing and cartographic conventions, and to explore different means of drawing that prioritize the expression and synthesis of place, time, and realities. This will be done through an investigation into the characteristics, purposes and powers of mapping and drawing in order to better understand exactly what is missing from these representations, and why. Focusing on time as a crucial element that is absent from representation, connections will be strengthened between temporality and space, and temporality and representation. This foundation of how representation, time and space are interconnected is strengthened and materialized by exploring ways for dynamic site aspects and systems to be expressed in maps and drawings instead of stasis and permanence. This will be explored through found drawings, precedent mapping projects, and existing notation systems. The second part of this thesis involves developing a different way of representing a site, aimed towards better demonstrating time, site aspects, and identities. A Vancouver site will serve as a case study for this exploration, displaying ways to synthesize site histories. This project is intended to act as a catalyst for investigating how different ways of approaching, understanding and representing a site could benefit and influence the path of design.
Kaehler manifolds and supersymmetry

description: Supersymmetric field theories of scalars and fermions in 4-D space-time can be cast in the formalism of Kaehler geometry. In these lectures I review Kaehler geometry and its application to the construction and analysis of supersymmetric models on Kaehler coset manifolds. It is shown that anomalies can be eliminated by the introduction of line-bundle representations of the coset symmetry groups. Such anomaly-free models can be gauged consistently and used to construct alternatives to the usual MSSM and supersymmetric GUTs.

description: The Madiera portal is a Web-based infrastructure populated with a variety of data and resources from a selection of providers. The portal can be seen as a European virtual library giving unified access to European social science data archives. The building blocks of the portal are a common metadata standard (a cross-national standardised implementation of DDI), a technological platform based on Nesstar software, and a multilingual thesaurus breaking the language barriers. The portal enables you to search for data, browse documentation, analyse datasets online, and download. The Madiera portal is a result of the Madiera project (Multilingual Access to Data Infrastructures of the European Research Area), funded by the European Commission under the Fifth Framework programme. The portal is available at www.madiera.net.

description: Kob and Andersen's simple lattice models for the dynamics of structural glasses are analyzed. Although the particles have only hard core interactions, the imposed constraint that they cannot move if surrounded by too many others causes slow dynamics. On Bethe lattices a dynamical transition to a partially frozen phase occurs. In finite dimensions there exist rare mobile elements that destroy the transition. At low vacancy density, $v$, the spacing, $Ξ$, between mobile elements diverges exponentially or faster in $1/v$. Within the mobile elements, the dynamics is intrinsically cooperative and the characteristic time scale diverges faster than any power of $1/v$ (although slower than $Ξ$). The tagged-particle diffusion coefficient vanishes roughly as $Ξ^{-d}$.
