description: The phenomenon of crumpling is common in our daily life and nature. It exhibits many interesting properties, such as ultra-tough resistance to pressure with less than 30$\%$ of volume density, power-law relation for pressure vs density, and crackling noises with occurrence frequency vs intensity mimicking that of earthquakes. These results are mainly obtained by using flat thin sheets. But, in reality the majority of crumpled objects exhibit nonzero intrinsic curvatures. Notable examples are crushed aluminum cans, car wreckage, and cells move in and out of blood vessels. In this work we concentrate on establishing the fact that they behave very differently from flat sheets by employing both experiments and molecular dynamics simulations.

description: The present study focuses on the effect of court press releases on media gatekeeping, a field that has remained largely uninvestigated to date. Using original data on the German Federal Constitutional Court, the study analyzes when court press releases are reported on in the media. Certain news values (e.g., conflict, political power, continuity/familiarity) are assumed to increase the probability that a press release will be reported on in the news. By using an automated content analysis approach, this study assesses whether 584 press releases were reported on in German newspapers over a period of eight years (2010–2018). Only press releases that promote decisions are used as they are the official information subsidies that the Court disseminates to the public through the media. Findings indicate that only 18% of press releases are reported on in the news. Furthermore, the news values of conflict and political power are found to have no influence on the success of a press release, while press releases that promote decisions with an oral hearing are more likely to be picked up by journalists. Hence, issues that are familiar to the public are more likely to be covered.

description: Energy Autonomous Wearable Sensors (EAWS) have attracted a large interest due to their potential to provide reliable measurements and continuous bioelectric signals, which help to reduce health risk factors early on, ongoing assessment for disease prevention, and maintaining optimum, lifelong health quality. This review paper presents recent developments and state-of-the-art research related to three critical elements that enable an EAWS. The first element is wearable sensors, which monitor human body physiological signals and activities. Emphasis is given on explaining different types of transduction mechanisms presented, and emerging materials and fabrication techniques. The second element is the flexible and wearable energy storage device to drive low-power electronics and the software needed for automatic detection of unstable physiological parameters. The third is the flexible and stretchable energy harvesting module to recharge batteries for continuous operation of wearable sensors. We conclude by discussing some of the technical challenges in realizing energy-autonomous wearable sensing technologies and possible solutions for overcoming them.

description: The purpose of the thesis was the study of the legislation and the jurisprudence for the process of the expropriation and the enforcement act as well as their impact on the Hellenic Land Registry. The process of the enforced expropriation along with the process of road expropriation and the Implementation Act were briefly presented, with a more explicit reference to the consequences that it generates in cases of property transfers. Afterwards, there is a description of the registration process of the Implementing Act in the Hellenic Land Registry. Later on, the legal aftermaths of the registration of the Implementing Act and the lack of submission of a declaration of ownership from the property owner in the operating Land Registry were further analyzed. A special reference is being made in the case of adverse possession. Finally, a brief historical review of the urban planning as well as a historical review of the Greek urban planning legislation was also provided.

description: The study examined the role of mobile phones on rural livelihood assets in Wamakko Local Government Area (LGA) of Sokoto State. Sixty-three Mobile Phone Users (MPUs) and Non Users (NUs) each were sampled for the study. Data were collected with the aid of structured questionnaire designed and administered to both MPUs and NUs. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results showed that majority of the respondents were male, married and within the age range of 20-39 years. Most of the MPUs and NUs had secondary education. The MPUs had their income within the range of N385,000 and above, while the NUs had theirs within N105,000-N174,900. The result also revealed that majority (50.8%) of the MPUs started using mobile phone at least 1 year. The MPUs spend between N200 and N399 per week on airtime and acquired their mobile phones at a price less than N6000. They had only one mobile phone and used it mainly for making and receiving calls. Chi square analysis showed that durable products (p< 0.1), possession of labour skill (p< 0.5), income (p<0.01), and social network (p<0.01) were significantly related to mobile phone use. Similarly, income (p<0.01) and membership of cooperative society (p< 0.1) were significantly related to mobile phone use. The Agricultural Transformation Agenda of the Federal Government identified as a constraint the limited awareness of the use of improved seed, coupled with poor distribution channels, poor seed quality and adulteration of seed. Mobile phone use is therefore an alternative means of transfer of agricultural information to farmers. It also makes it possible for farmers to make direct enquiry concerning innovations. It was concluded that mobile phone is an important tool for improving rural livelihoods.
Relativistic models of two low-luminosity radio jets: B2 0326+39 and B2 1553+24

description: We apply the intrinsically symmetrical, decelerating relativistic jet model developed by Laing & Bridle for 3C 31 to deep, full-synthesis 8.4-GHz VLA imaging of the two low-luminosity radio galaxies B2 0326+39 and B2 1553+24. After some modifications to the functional forms used to describe the geometry, velocity, emissivity and magnetic-field structure, these models can accurately fit our data in both total intensity and linear polarization. We conclude that the jets in B2 0326+39 and B2 1553+24 are at angles of 64 +/- 5 deg and 7.7 +/- 1.3 deg to the line of sight, respectively. In both objects, we find that the jets decelerate from 0.7 - 0.8c to <0.2c over a distance of approximately 10 kpc, although in B2 1553+24 this transition occurs much further from the nucleus than in B2 0326+39 or 3C 31. The longitudinal emissivity profiles can be divided into sections, each fit accurately by a power law; the indices of these power laws decrease with distance from the nucleus. The magnetic fields in both objects are dominated by the longitudinal component in the high-velocity regions close to the nucleus and by the toroidal component further out, but B2 0326+39 also has a significant radial component at large distances, whereas B2 1553+24 does not. Simple adiabatic models fail to fit the emissivity variations in the regions of high velocity but provide good descriptions of the emissivity after the jets have decelerated. Given the small angle to the line of sight inferred for B2 1553+24, there should be a significant population of similar sources at less extreme orientations. Such objects should have long (>200 kpc), straight, faint jets and we show that their true sizes are likely to have been underestimated in existing images. (Slightly abridged.)

description: Recently different regularization schemes for calculations of the vacuum energy stored in the zero-point motion of fundamental fields were discussed. We show that the contribution of the fermionic and bosonic fields to the energy of the vacuum depends on the physical realization of the vacuum state. The energy density of the homogeneous vacuum is zero irrespective of the fermionic and bosonic content of the effective theories in the infra-red corner. The contribution of the low-energy fermions and bosons becomes important when the coexistence of different vacua is considered, such as the bubble of the true vacuum inside the false one. We consider the case when these vacua differ only by the masses of the low-energy fermionic fields, M(true)>M(false), while their ultraviolet structure is identical. In this geometry the energy density of the false vacuum outside the bubble is zero, rho(false)=-P(false)=0, which corresponds to zero cosmological constant. The energy density of the true vacuum inside the bubble rho(true)=-P(true) is proportional to - Lambda^2(M^2(true)- M^2(false)), where Lambda is the ultraviolet cut-off.

National and global fragmented social imaginaries
Creators: name: Lóia, Luís
Publisher: name: International Journal of Philosophy and Social Values
Year: 2020

description: National State seems to be a key concept to understand modern political life and many scholars have been devoting their attention to it. On the one hand, they intend to demonstrate that we are witnessing a failure of National States to provide the needed answers to modern claims that nowadays can only be solved at international levels. On the other hand, National States seem to be the only type of social organization through which, especially in democratic regimes, people become effective in shaping the kind of world they want to live in. Taking into due account this problematic view, our aim is to show that both approaches are real and need to be understood in their interconnected realms. Dealing with it, we recover the category of social imaginary that could enlighten a more adequate comprehension of this phenomenon that is currently presented as a feature of democratic decay. Our thesis is that National State involves a social imaginary that is becoming increasingly fragmented and, on the other hand, the cosmopolitical appeal of globalisation does not yet provide a global social imaginary that could be recognizable beyond the scope of the national states, and, therefore, presents itself as fragmented as the former. New social imaginaries are needed to overcome this fragmentation.

An integrative review of the literature to support mentorship components for new clinical instructors
Creators: name: Tiscornia, Lacey
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Clinical education is an essential component of nursing education because it is where students can apply their theoretical knowledge to practical settings. The clinical instructor (CI) is often at the centre of this experience. The preparation of competent nursing graduates relies on receiving quality education from nursing schools with a concomitant need for increased numbers of nurse educators who are adequately prepared to educate nurses. There is a well-documented shortage of nursing faculty, and often part-time or contract clinical instructors are used to teach the clinical component of nursing education. Clinical instructors are often experienced nurse clinicians but many CIs lack exposure to educational theory and teaching experience In this Scholarly Practice Advancement Research (SPAR) project I focus on reviewing, identifying, and synthesizing information from the nursing and education literature in order to develop evidence-based components to inform mentorship programs for CIs transitioning from experienced clinician to novice clinical instructor. I use an integrative review approach to examine and critically evaluate the evidence available regarding mentorship for nursing CIs during the transition to their roles as novice educators. From my integrative review I present evidence-based process and content components to inform the development and delivery of mentorship programs for nurses that best support their transition to the CI role. The main process recommendations include: a comprehensive orientation which clearly outlines expectations; situating CIs within the academic institution; incorporating time to build trusting mentor-mentee relationships; peer networking; scheduling frequent and regular face-to-face meetings between the clinical instructor and mentor; and selecting an engaged and voluntary mentor. The main content recommendations include: teaching and learning strategies; effective communication and feedback; and exposure to the curriculum and educational resources for the clinical instructor. The recommendations include attention to initial and ongoing professional development for both the mentor and the CI. Implications for nursing administration, practice, and research are discussed.

description: With the advent of gravitational wave astronomy, searching for gravitational wave echoes from black holes (BHs) is becoming an interesting probe of their quantum nature near their horizons. Newborn BHs may be strong emitters of echoes, as they accompany large perturbations in the surrounding spacetime upon formation. Utilizing the Quantum Black Hole Seismology framework (Oshita et al. 2020), we study the expected echoes upon BH formation resulting from neutron star mergers and failed supernovae. For BH remnants from neutron star mergers, we evaluate the consistency of these models with the recent claim on the existence of echoes following the neutron star merger event GW170817. We find that the claimed echoes in GW170817, if real, suggest that overtones contribute a significant amount of energy in the ringdown of the remnant BH. We finally discuss the detectability of echoes from failed supernovae by second and third-generation gravitational wave detectors, and find that current (future) detectors constrain physical reflectivity models for events occurring within a few Mpc (a few x 10 Mpc). Detecting such echo signals may significantly constrain the maximum mass and equation of state of neutron stars.

Relational foundations for global egalitarianism and cosmopolitan inclusion
Creators: name: Pinheiro, João
Publisher: name: International Journal of Philosophy and Social Values
Year: 2020

description: Multiple authors have argued that moral cosmopolitanism, the thesis that every human has a global stature as an ultimate unit of moral concern, is compatible with domestic egalitarianism. This is because they believe that from equal concern does not follow equal treatment, and it might be possible to impartially justify partial treatment. Some such attempts at justifying restricting the scope of egalitarian demands of distrib‑ utive justice to the state proceed by application of Rawls’s principle of fair‑ ness to the provision of basic goods. But such relational approaches have been criticized by institutionalists who believe there is a global basic struc‑ ture for the provision of basic goods. Institutional approaches, however, have themselves been criticized for relying on less than global institutions, such that the egalitarianism that they may justify is not truly global either. We argue that beyond institutionally provided goods there are nonetheless some goods whose provision is truly global, such that we can find a rela‑ tional foundation for global egalitarianism, from which we can argue for cosmopolitan institutionalization.

description: World food supply and demand has been largely balanced over the last 40 years. Despite chronic hunger and malnutrition continuing to surface, overall grain prices have stabilized since the 1970s and the levels of energy intake have improved. But a number of challenges lie ahead: a steady decline in arable areas per capita, stagnant output growth, increasing food demands, declining grain stocks, population expansion, and monopolistic structure in grain trades. In the midst of deteriorating food self-sufficiency, Korea's food state appears to follow suit of the global trend. Adequate policies are also required to address these challenges. Existing market inefficiency must be remedied by reducing food wastes and enhancing physical resources in developing countries. Under the WTO system, it is also important to strengthen disciplines on export ban and restriction and allow flexible measures for grain stockholdings and stable grain supplies.

description: Type 2 diabetes is one of the most important public health challenges facing the global population today. As part of the diabetes treatment approach, blood glucose monitoring is essential on a daily basis. Since poor glycemic control is associated with complications of diabetes mellitus and that monitoring of blood glucose levels is necessary to prolong life expectancy and avoid complications, glucose measuring devices have been developed that categorize into invasive, elastic and non-invasive invasive. Adequate glycemic control has been associated with optimal management of hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic episodes thus providing better control of the condition for the diabetic patient.

description: It has recently been argued that there may be a nontrivial four-dimensional limit of the higher-dimensional Gauss--Bonnet and Lovelock interactions and that this might provide a loophole allowing for new four-dimensional gravitational theories, possibly without a standard Lagrangian. We investigate this claim by studying tree-level graviton scattering amplitudes, allowing us to draw conclusions independently of the Lagrangian. By taking four-dimensional limits of higher-dimensional scattering amplitudes of the Gauss--Bonnet theory, we find four-dimensional amplitudes that are different from general relativity; however, these amplitudes are not new since they all come from certain scalar-tensor theories. The nontrivial limit that does not lead to infinite strong coupling around flat space leads to $(\partialϕ)^4$ theory. We argue that there cannot be any six-derivative purely gravitational four-point amplitudes in any dimension other than those coming from Lovelock theory by directly constructing the on-shell amplitudes. In particular, there can be no new such amplitudes in four dimensions beyond those of general relativity. We also present some new results on the spin-averaged cross section for graviton-graviton scattering in general relativity and Gauss--Bonnet theory in arbitrary dimensions.

description: The Gaussian assumption is easy to apply to economic analyses and many of its properties have been revealed to economists so that the distributional hypothesis has been embraced in economic and financial analyses, despite the fact that empirical evidences show distinct anomalies from the normal distribution. This study shows that the distributions of major U.S. agricultural commodity cash price changes are significantly different from normality. They have fatter tails and hither peaks than the normal distribution. The leptokurtic behaviors of the cash price changes are effectively captured by the stable distribution rather than the normal distribution. At the same time, when real data correspond to the stable distribution, variance may not be an effective scale parameter of the data. This raises a necessity of finding other alternatives to the traditional second moment.

description: Excerpts from the report Summary: For many years, there has been extensive damage in rail shipments of tub-type baskets of peaches, fresh prunes, and similar commodities. The damage is associated with use of the conventional loading methods, called the upright end-to-end offset and crosswise offset methods. It is estimated that the total cost of this damage, including damage claims and the cost of repairing, or re-coopering, many thousands of baskets, exceeds $400,000 annually. Research over a 3-year period has shown that basket damage in rail shipments can be reduced more than 50 percent and important economies achieved in transportation and refrigeration costs by using the alternately inverted cross-wise offset method of loading, instead of the conventional upright methods. The research involved nearly 500 test shipments of peaches from Georgia, South Carolina, and Colorado, and fresh prunes from Idaho.

description: Η ανάπτυξη της τεχνικής της συνεχούς παρακολούθησης της γλυκόζης(CGM) κατά τη διάρκεια των τελευταίων δεκαετιών είναι θεμελιώδους σημασίας, καθώς οι παραδοσιακές τεχνικές προσδιορισμού της γλυκόζης, μέσω της γλυκοζυλιωμένης αιμοσφαιρίνης HbA1c και της γλυκόζης αίματος νηστείας, παρέχουν μικρό όγκο πληροφοριών εν συγκρίσει με τα συστήματα CGM που με τις συνεχείς καταγραφές συνεπικουρούν στην κατανόηση της διακύμανσης των επιπέδων της γλυκόζης στο αίμα. Η χρήση μετρητών CGM απευθύνεται σε ενηλίκους ασθενείς με σακχαρώδη διαβήτη και σε πληθυσμιακές ομάδες με ιδιαίτερα χαρακτηριστικά, όπως είναι τα παιδιά, οι εφήβοι, οι ηλικιωμένοι και οι εγκυμονούσες με διαβήτη κύησης, προσφέροντας πολλά πλεονεκτήματα στη ρύθμιση των επιπέδων της γλυκόζης και την πρόληψη σοβαρών υπογλυκαιμικών επεισοδίων. Η τρέχουσα γνώση του εύρους των φυσιολογικών επιπέδων της γλυκόζης βασίζεται σε μεγάλο βαθμό σε μελέτες πληθυσμών χωρίς διαβήτη με στόχο να χρησιμεύσουν ως σημείο αναφοράς για τον καθορισμό της ιδανικής γλυκαιμικής κατάστασης και για την ανάπτυξη μελλοντικών τεχνολογιών που στοχεύουν να βοηθήσουν τα άτομα να επιτύχουν όσο είναι δυνατόν το βέλτιστο γλυκαιμικό προφίλ. Στην παρούσα εργασία γίνεται καταγραφή των δεδομένων σχετικά με τις εφαρμογές των CGMs, των διαθέσιμων συστημάτων CGM παγκοσμίως και των αποτελεσμάτων που προέκυψαν από την τοποθέτηση του καταγραφέα EnvisionPro της εταιρείας Medtronic σε 26 μη διαβητικούς συμμετέχοντες.
description: The development of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technique over the last few decades is crucial, as the current traditional glucose determination techniques, through glycated hemoglobin HbA1c and fasting blood glucose, provide a small amount of information compared to CGM systems that through continuous monitoring assist in understanding the range of blood glucose levels. CGMs are used from adult patients with diabetes as well as population groups with special characteristics and treatment, such as children, adolescents, the elderly and pregnant women with diabetes, offering many benefits in regulating glucose levels and preventing severe hypoglycemic episodes. Current understanding of glucose levels relies on studies of non-diabetic populations to serve as a benchmark for determining glycemic status and to develop future technologies aimed at helping individuals achieve as normal glycemic levels as possible. The current paper records data on CGMs applications, CGM systems available worldwide and the results of placing Medtronic's Envision Pro recorder on 26 non-diabetic participants.

description: Agriculture is the biggest contributor to the Cambodian economy. However, Cambodian agriculture include a number of problems such as weak institutional framework of agriculture- related organizations, rural poverty and small budget for agriculture, lower productivity, lower efficiency, etc. In spite of these problems, Cambodian agriculture should play a role of engine in economic and rural development by improving agricultural productivity, modernizing agricultural marketing systems, developing human resources, diversifying rice farming to other crops, etc.

description: The term `hypermachine' denotes any data processing device (theoretical or that can be implemented) capable of carrying out tasks that cannot be performed by a Turing machine. We present a possible quantum algorithm for a classically non-computable decision problem, Hilbert's tenth problem; more specifically, we present a possible hypercomputation model based on quantum computation. Our algorithm is inspired by the one proposed by Tien D. Kieu, but we have selected the infinite square well instead of the (one-dimensional) simple harmonic oscillator as the underlying physical system. Our model exploits the quantum adiabatic process and the characteristics of the representation of the dynamical Lie algebra su(1,1) associated to the infinite square well.

description: Government sponsored resettlement programs implemented in Ethiopia since the 1980s were studied. The results of the study show that the objectives of the resettlement programs of the military regime and the present government are similar. More precisely, both programs aimed at alleviating the problem of recurrent food insecurity, easing overwhelming human and livestock pressure on land and other natural resources, and promoting environmental rehabilitation in famine/drought-prone areas of the country. A critical analysis of the emergency resettlement program of the military government reveals that it was beset with numerous planning and implementation problems. The study indicates also that the emergency resettlement program was more of a top-down exercise in futility because it did not pay due attention to the very people who are the causes and victims of environmental degradation and the consequences of the program on both the environment and the host population. With regard to the current resettlement program, the findings of the study show that the present government's plan of relocating 2.2 million people over a three-year period appears to be an ambitious target when seen from the low implementation capacity of the Regions and the huge financial resources required to undertake the program. Moreover, reports from various sources point to the fact that the current resettlement program lacks preparation and efforts that have been made so far to implement the plan are inadequate.
Theoretical Study of Half-Doped Models for Manganites: Fragility of the CE Phase with Disorder, Two Types of Colossal Magnetoresistances, and Charge-Ordered States for Electron-Doped Materials

description: A comprehensive analysis of half-doped manganites is presented using Monte Carlo simulations applied to the double-exchange model with cooperative Jahn-Teller lattice distortions in two dimensions. A variety of novel results are reported: (i) The phase diagram is established in the lambda-J_ AF plane, with lambda the electron-phonon coupling and J_AF the antiferromagnetic exchange between classical t_2g spins. The results include standard phases, such as the CE-insulating and FM-metallic regimes, but they also unveil novel states, such as a ferromagnetic charge-ordered (CO) orbital-ordered phase compatible with recent experimental results by Loudon et al. (ii) For realistic couplings, it was observed that the charge disproportionation delta of the CO phase is far from the widely accepted extreme limit delta=0.5 of a 3+/4+ charge separation. A far smaller delta appears more realistic, in agreement with recent experiments by Garcia et al. and Daoud-Aladine it et al. (iii) Colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) effects are found in calculations of cluster resistances using the Landauer formalism. This occurs near the ubiquitous first-order phase transitions between the insulating and metallic states. (iv) The CE-state is found to be (very sensitive to disorder) since its long-range order rapidly disappears when quenched-disorder is introduced, contrary to the FM state which is more robust. This is also in qualitative agreement with recent experiments by Akahoshi et al. and Nakajima et al. (v) The phase diagram in the half-doped (electron doping) regime is briefly discussed as well. A charge-ordered state is found which is the analog of the x=0.5 CE phase. It contains a 3+/2+ charge arrangement at large lambda.

description: Studies on the periodic variation and the phase relationship between different solar activity indicators are useful for understanding the long-term evolution of solar activity cycle. Here we report the statistical analysis of grouped solar flare (GSF) and sunspot number (SN) during the time interval from January 1965 to March 2009. We find that, 1) the significant periodicities of both GSF and SN are related to the differential rotation periodicity, the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO), and the eleven-year Schwabe cycle (ESC), but the specific values are not absolutely identical; 2) the ESC signal of GSF lags behind that of SN with an average of 7.8 months during the considered time interval, implying that the systematic phase delays between GSF and SN originate from the inter-solar-cycle signal. Our results may provide evidence about the storage of magnetic energy in the corona.

description: Using $t_{2g}$ Wannier-functions, a low-energy Hamiltonian is derived for orthorhombic $3d^{1}$ transition-metal oxides. Electronic correlations are treated with a new implementation of dynamical mean-field theory for non-cubic systems. Good agreement with photoemission data is obtained. The interplay of correlation effects and cation covalency (GdFeO$_{3}$-type distortions) is found to suppress orbital fluctuations in LaTiO$_{3},$ and even more in YTiO$_{3}$, and to favor the transition to the insulating state.

description: An important concern in further opening of Korean agricultural markets is farm income stabilization. This paper examines the fluctuations in farm income caused by the IMF financial crisis and the farm household distribution classified by the degree of the fluctuation. A newly-defined mean-variance analysis method is applied to determine the degree of increases and decreases in farm income from 1998 to 2002. The individual farm households face the different shapes of the income fluctuation. The same method is applied to analyze agricultural income. The result shows that the number of farms having a lower agricultural income compared with income in 1998 is greater than farm income. These findings imply that agricultural income will be substantially influenced by further market opening and that policies targeting income stabilization are necessary in Korean agriculture.

description: It has been proven that the July Economic Reform made a real difference in raising agricultural production. The driving factors behind the positive results were favorable weather, more fertilizer through international aid, the reduction of blight and harmful insects, and the improvement of irrigation. Except for the July Economic Reform and motivation, however, those physical factors would have not produced synergistic effects like they did. Indeed, if the farmers had been given a fixed income without additional incentives, the production would have not increased as high. Another motivation is that the farmers’ markets turned into general markets in March 2003 when they received government supports. This reform regarding trade affords an opportunity for farmers to raise their income. In that regard, the success of the July Economic Reform is of great significance to the recovery of North Korean agriculture.
