description: This research examines the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Istanbul fresh fruit and vegetable provisioning between March and September 2020. In line with global trends, the measures taken within the scope of the pandemic were expected to cause disruptions in various provision channels. Apart from the logistic problems experienced in the first couple of weeks of the pandemic, we observed that there was no severe crisis in the fresh fruit and vegetable provision systems of Istanbul in 2020. Based on our fieldwork conducted between June and September 2020, we attribute this resilience to two key factors: (1) the non-regulation and ineffective control of pandemic measures, allowing actors to operate without major constraints, and (2) the agility of provision actors in adapting to various channels and positions. By exploring these dynamics, we aim to contribute to discussions on neoliberal resilience, emphasizing the importance of reclaiming the concept of resilience without reinforcing the hegemony of the neoliberal agrifood system.

description: La década de los ochenta fue una época turbulenta, un periodo de transición entre el final del mundo de la Guerra Fría y el inicio de algo aún desconocido. En los límites de esta transición vivió una juventud urbana en la ciudad de Bogotá que se identificó con la música rock, específicamente con el Rock en Español, y que por medio de él representaron el espacio, el tiempo, el contexto y las circunstancias del país en que les tocó vivir. Pretendo explorar estas representaciones sociales que ponen las impresiones, percepciones y vivencias juveniles de la vida urbana cotidiana de la ciudad de Bogotá en la producción musical, estética y lírica del Rock en Español producido y consumido en Bogotá entre 1979 y 1989, centrándome sobre todo en la visión de estos jóvenes sobre elementos como las expectativas del futuro, la guerra, la situación política, la renovación urbana o la identidad juvenil. Para ello se acudió una triangulación de fuentes periodísticas/oficiales, musicales/líricas y orales/memoria. Por último, me pregunto por las conexiones del movimiento juvenil a través de las décadas en Colombia, desde el hipismo sesentero hasta la juventud politizada de nuestros días.
description: The eighties were a turbulent time, a periodo f transition between the end of the Cold War World and the begining of somthing still unknow. On the limits of this transition liced an urban youth in the city of Bogotá who identified whit rock music, especifically whit Rock en Español, and who through it represented the space, time, context and circumstances of the country in which they had to live. I try to explore there social representations that performance the impressions, perceptions and youth experiences of daily urban life in the city of Bogotá, in the musical, aesthetic and lyrical production of Rock en Español produced and consumed in Bogotá betwer 1979 and 1989, focusing mainly on the visión of these Young people about elements such as expectations for the future, the war, the political situation, the urban renewal or the youth identity. For this, a triangulation of journalistic/oficial, musical/lyrical and oral/memory sources was used. Lastly, i wonder about the connections of the youth movement through the decades in Colombia, from sixties hippies to the politicized youth of our days.

description: Over 800,000 Latina/o agricultural workers are employed in California every year, of whom approximately 400,000 are estimated to be undocumented immigrants. We convened 19 focus groups (FG) between July 2019 and January 2020 in various regions of California to gather information from Latina/o agricultural workers on social stressors. The participants’ narratives focused extensively on working conditions. This paper analyses these narratives and examines working and living conditions, as well as the combined effect of profound deprivations within most significant social domains. Agricultural workers in California characterise their working conditions as little better than slave labour. Systematic abusive practices and exploitation, discrimination, marginalisation, and lack of opportunities were overwhelmingly present in their narratives. Sleep, family, education, economic and health deprivation, as well as housing, food and work insecurity, social discrimination, and institutional racism compound one another to generate a systematic form of oppression that makes social mobility virtually impossible. Efforts to expand and protect labour rights have been inadequate and major improvements are needed to provide basic civil rights.

description: Seabirds in the Canadian Arctic congregate in large colonies producing oases of biological productivity and diversity in coastal regions. Here we examine sterols, stanols, and stable isotopes (15N, and 13C) in three 14C-dated pond sediment cores near a large seabird colony and archeological site on Devon Island, showing historical occupation by the seabirds and an ancient human (Thule or Norse) settlement over ~1,100 years. Coprostanol in the sediment records captures the presence of humans at ca. 1150 CE, followed by their abandonment of the site by ca. 1300 CE. Seabird presence at this site after ca.1200 CE is indicated by increases in δ15N and cholesterol/sitosterol. Seabird population expansion is observed after ca. 1600 CE in δ15N and cholesterol/sitosterol profiles, coinciding with European whaling activities that expanded in the 17th-19th centuries. Our study provides insights to human and seabird occupation in the High Arctic to inform archeological and conservation efforts.

description: Expert outlooks on the future path of oil prices are often relied on by industry participants and policymaking bodies for their forecasting needs. Yet little attention has been paid to the extent to which these are accurate. Using the regular publications by the Energy Information Administration (EIA), we examine the accuracy of annual recursive oil price forecasts generated by the National Energy Modeling System model of the Agency for forecast horizons of up to 15 years. Our results reveal that the EIA model is quite successful at beating the benchmark random walk model, but only at either end of the forecast horizons. We also show that, for the longer horizons, simple econometric forecasting models often produce similar if not better accuracy than the EIA model. Among these, time-varying specifications generally also exhibit stability in their forecast performance. Finally, while combining forecasts does not change the overall patterns, some additional accuracy gains are obtained at intermediate horizons, and in some cases forecast performance stability is also achieved. / Les perspectives d’experts sur la trajectoire future des prix du pétrole sont souvent utilisées par les participants de l’industrie et les entités politiques pour leurs prévisions. Malgré cela, peu de travaux analysent si ces perspectives sont précises. Nous nous basons sur les publications régulières de l’Energy Information Administration (EIA) pour analyser la précision des prévisions annuelles du prix récursif du pétrole générées par le modèle du National Energy Modeling System de l’Agence pour les prévisions avec un horizon jusqu’à 15 ans. Nos résultats révèlent que le modèle EIA est assez performant afin de battre le modèle de marche aléatoire de référence, mais seulement à chaque extrémités des horizons de prévision. Nous montrons également que les modèles simples d’économétrie produisent souvent des résultats similaires sinon meilleurs en précision que le modèle EIA pour les horizons longs. Parmi ceux-ci, les spécifications variant dans le temps produisent également de la stabilité dans leurs performances de prédictions. Finalement, bien que combiner plusieurs prédictions ne change pas les tendances générales, quelques gains de précisions additionnels sont obtenus pour les horizons de temps intermédiaires. Dans certains cas, la stabilité des prédictions de performance est aussi atteinte.

description: In innovation studies, and particularly those dedicated to agricultural and environmental innovations, there has been a robust stream of research focused on understanding how multi-stakeholder groups learn from their experiences in order to implement and scale-up system innovations. This stream of research has been referred to as social learning and has focused on how groups of multiple stakeholders are able to move system innovations from protected niches into broader scale application within society. Social learning scholars mention the importance of reflexivity when learning contexts are characterised by diverse values, interests and knowledge, such as is found in co-creation processes that include actors from the quadruple helix. Other scholars argue that while the learning process itself is important, it is insufficient for transformational change – particularly when the desired change is at the societal level. A vision of actors from the quadruple helix as givers of meaning to problems, new technologies, social innovations and potential societal impact is thus required. In this short commentary, we reflect upon the linkages between visions, problem formulation and social learning when co-creation is used as a means to stimulate collective work among multiple stakeholders. We reflect upon the promises and the limits of co-creation, and the social learning that it catalyses, in the context of environmental missions.

Voluntary Sustainability Standards and the Fashion Industry: Opportunities and Challenges for Building a Circular Textile Economy
Creators: name: Klassen, Kiana
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2023

description: The race to the bottom that has enabled the rise of fast fashion is becoming increasingly intensified and, due to climate change and pollution, the environmental impacts of the industry are becoming more catastrophic. One sustainability solution that is rapidly growing in popularity across the industry is the Circular Economy (CE), due to its promise to deliver positive social, environmental and economic sustainability outcomes. Voluntary sustainability standards (VSS) are widely used across many different industries for a variety of development objectives, and have started being used to facilitate the movement towards circularity. VSS is a prominent regulatory mechanism in the fashion industry, and thus exploring the alignment of VSS with – and hence its potential to effectively implement – the CE will help illuminate the value of both as sustainability approaches to addressing the enormous detrimental impact of fast fashion. This paper makes a unique contribution to the literature on CE in the fashion industry by taking both a conceptual and applied approach to assessing the congruence between VSS and CE, drawing from various bodies of literature and performing expert interviews. This research aims to serve as a foundation for research on sustainability in the textile industry, and a resource for decision-makers, corporations and policy makers looking to promote a circular textile economy. Ultimately, the goal is to promote sustainable development and provide tangible outcomes towards these objectives.

¿En Colombia, el incumplimiento de la obligación legal que tiene la aseguradora de constituir reservas técnicas durante la etapa previa a la ocurrencia del siniestro, genera algún tipo de responsabilidad o provoca sanciones administrativas por parte de la Superintendencia Financiera por omisión a mandatos del Estatuto Orgánico del Sistema Financiero?

Sin embargo, para garantizar el efectivo cumplimiento de su obligación, aun cuando no todavía no haya ocurrido un siniestro, la compañía debe contar con un margen económico y de solvencia, atendiendo los criterios técnicos señalados por la normatividad vigente. Para ello, debe constituir las reservas en la forma prevista en las normas especiales; empero, puede ocurrir que la compañía, sin acaecer el siniestro, incumpla esta obligación, y por lo mismo, no garantice la tranquilidad patrimonial al tomador, asegurado o beneficiario que trasladó sus riesgos y, en consecuencia, pueda incurrir en cierta responsabilidad.
description: When an insurance company enters into an insurance contract with the policyholder, it is responsible for, among other things, the conditional obligation of payment, which will be enforceable when a claim occurs. However, in order to guarantee the effective fulfilment of its obligation, even when a claim has not yet occurred, the company must have an economic and solvency margin, in accordance with the technical criteria indicated by the regulations in force. However, it may happen that the company, without the occurrence of a claim, fails to comply with this obligation and, therefore, does not guarantee the peace of mind of the policyholder, insured or beneficiary who transferred his risks and, consequently, may incur certain liability.
title: Elements of orbital angular momentum and coherence in quantum optics
Creators: name: Ritboon, Atirach
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: genuine entanglement, orbital angular momentum, quantum coherence, optical force, optical torque.

description: It is well established now that light carries both spin and orbital angular momentum which are associated with circular polarisation and helical phase fronts. Orbital angular momentum degrees of freedom recently have been used frequently in quantum information processing as their states are described by vectors in a higher-dimensional Hilbert space which enhances the possibility of realising superior quantum information protocols. On the other hand, quantum coherence, which arises from the superposition principle, is a distinct feature of quantum mechanics that cannot be satisfactorily described by classical physics. Coherence is also identified as essential ingredient for applications of quantum information, computation, and quantum thermodynamics. Three research projects, with their related background information, are presented in this thesis. In the first one, we design a linear optical system to transform the maximally entangled state of a down-converted photon pair into a genuine entangled χ-type state, as this class of genuine entangled states has been showed to have many interesting entanglement properties and can be employed in several quantum information protocols. In the second project, we study the mechanism of angular momentum transfer from light to a dielectric medium when it undergoes total internal reflection. The result shows that the torque associated with angular momentum transfer appears shortly, when the light pulse hits the interface. Finally, we study quantum coherence transfer from a coherence resource initialised in a coherence state to an atomic state by the Jaynes-Cummings model, and we compare it to the coherent operation that uses a resource prepared in a ladder state described by Åberg’s model. We found that a resource in a coherent state is more robust against failures.

description: Following a manifold of food traces, we propose to think of an architecture of environmentality. Space, and our agency within it, is increasingly defined by the design of ecologies of signals – biological, social and machinic – that orient and organize bodies, modulating their behavior and fields of possibility. Some of these infrastructural semiotics that sustain contemporary food landscapes are described through the almojábana, a simple sweet similar to fritters that became popular in Al-Andalus.

Evolving Unsupervised Deep Neural Networks for Learning Meaningful Representations

description: Deep Learning (DL) aims at learning the \emph{meaningful representations}. A meaningful representation refers to the one that gives rise to significant performance improvement of associated Machine Learning (ML) tasks by replacing the raw data as the input. However, optimal architecture design and model parameter estimation in DL algorithms are widely considered to be intractable. Evolutionary algorithms are much preferable for complex and non-convex problems due to its inherent characteristics of gradient-free and insensitivity to local optimum. In this paper, we propose a computationally economical algorithm for evolving \emph{unsupervised deep neural networks} to efficiently learn \emph{meaningful representations}, which is very suitable in the current Big Data era where sufficient labeled data for training is often expensive to acquire. In the proposed algorithm, finding an appropriate architecture and the initialized parameter values for a ML task at hand is modeled by one computational efficient gene encoding approach, which is employed to effectively model the task with a large number of parameters. In addition, a local search strategy is incorporated to facilitate the exploitation search for further improving the performance. Furthermore, a small proportion labeled data is utilized during evolution search to guarantee the learnt representations to be meaningful. The performance of the proposed algorithm has been thoroughly investigated over classification tasks. Specifically, error classification rate on MNIST with $1.15\%$ is reached by the proposed algorithm consistently, which is a very promising result against state-of-the-art unsupervised DL algorithms.

description: This article presents an investigation of a transient (30 μs - 5 ms) electrical discharge in metal vapour with low voltage (< 50 V) and current (< 1 A), drawn between two separating electrodes. Discharges of this type are rarely studied, but are important in electrical explosion safety, as they can ignite flammable gasses. An empirical model is developed based on transient recordings of discharge voltages and currents and high speed broadband image data. The model is used for predicting the electrical waveforms and spatial power distribution of the discharge. The predicted electrical waveforms show good accuracy under various scenarios. To further investigate the underlying physics, the model is then incorporated into a simplified 3-D gas dynamics simulation including molecular diffusion, heat transfer and evaporation of metal from the electrode surface. The local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) assumption is next used to calculate electrical conductivity from the simulated temperature fields, which in turn is integrated to produce electrical resistance over time. This resistance is then compared to that implied by the voltage and current waveforms predicted by the empirical model. The comparison shows a significant discrepancy, yielding the important insight that the studied discharge very likely deviates strongly from LTE.

description: By using predictions from the Pythia 8 Monte Carlo event generator, we determine the energy-dependent turn-over values (pT0) of the partonic cross section for the simulation of multiparton interactions. Since the observed energy dependence of the pT0 values is not well described by a power-law function, we introduce an additional energy-dependent term, to better describe the experimental observations in the energy range sqrt(s) = 0.3-13 TeV. We obtain a similar level of agreement for predictions using various parton densities.

description: Abelian vector fields non-minimally coupled to uncharged scalar fields arise in many contexts. We investigate here through algebraic methods their consistent deformations ("gaugings"), i.e., the deformations that preserve the number (but not necessarily the form or the algebra) of the gauge symmetries. Infinitesimal consistent deformations are given by the BRST cohomology classes at ghost number zero. We parametrize explicitly these classes in terms of various types of global symmetries and corresponding Noether currents through the characteristic cohomology related to antifields and equations of motion. The analysis applies to all ghost numbers and not just ghost number zero. We also provide a systematic discussion of the linear and quadratic constraints on these parameters that follow from higher-order consistency. Our work is relevant to the gaugings of extended supergravities.

Phase Diagrams of Antiferromagnetic Spin-1 Bosons on Square Optical Lattice with the Quadratic Zeeman Effect

Subjects: subject: Quantum Gases (cond-mat.quant-gas)

description: We study the quadratic Zeeman effect (QZE) in a system of antiferromagnetic spin-1 bosons on a square lattice and derive the ground-state phase diagrams by means of quantum Monte Carlo simulations and mean field treatment. The QZE imbalances the populations of the magnetic sublevels $σ=\pm1$ and $σ=0$, and therefore affects the magnetic and mobility properties of the phases. Both methods show that the tip of the even Mott lobes, stabilized by singlet state, is destroyed when turning on the QZE, thus leaving the space to the superfluid phase. Contrariwise, the tips of odd Mott lobes remain unaffected. Therefore, the Mott-superfluid transition with even filling strongly depends on the strength of the QZE, and we show that the QZE can act as a control parameter for this transition at fixed hopping. Using quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we elucidate the nature of the phase transitions and examine in detail the nematic order: the first-order Mott-superfluid transition with even filling observed in the absence of QZE becomes second order for weak QZE, in contradistinction to our mean-field results which predict a first-order transition in a larger range of QZE. Furthermore, a spin nematic order with director along the $z$ axis is found in the odd Mott lobes and in the superfluid phase for energetically favored $σ=\pm1$ states. In the superfluid phase with even filling, the $xy$ components of the nematic director remain finite only for moderate QZE.

Quelle place pour les parents immigrants dans l’intervention en santé mentale auprès de leurs jeunes ? Perspectives des personnes intervenantes sociales au Québec

description: Une sous-utilisation des services de soutien en santé mentale au Québec par les jeunes d’origine immigrante est observée. La difficulté à engager les parents immigrants et leurs jeunes dans l’intervention est considérée comme un facteur sous-jacent. Il est ainsi pertinent de se questionner sur les façons dont les personnes intervenantes sociales agissent de manière à engager et à reconnaitre ces familles dans l’intervention en santé mentale, et ce en composant avec des contraintes d’ordre organisationnel, politique et social. La présente recherche s’intéresse à la question suivante : comment les personnes intervenantes sociales au Québec perçoivent-elles la place des parents immigrants dans l’intervention en santé mentale auprès de leurs jeunes et quelles stratégies mettent-elles en œuvre afin d’intervenir le plus adéquatement possible auprès d’eux ? Quatre entretiens ont été réalisés avec des personnes intervenantes sociales œuvrant auprès de jeunes d’origine immigrante aux prises avec des difficultés de santé mentale et de leurs parents. Leurs témoignages ont été analysés à partir des thèmes suivants : 1) les principales réactions de résistance qu’elles rapportent avoir observé, dans leur pratique, de la part des parents immigrants : la réaction de méfiance, la réaction du parent qui semble dépassé, la réaction de non-acceptation, la réaction du parent autoritaire. Ces réactions peuvent être caractérisées par des attitudes, des croyances et des gestes qui déroutent, complexifient et font obstacle à l’intervention attendue en santé mentale ; 2) les formes d’explication qu’elles donnent à ces réactions. Les personnes intervenantes tendent à attribuer les réactions de résistance des parents à des facteurs psychologiques, culturels et à des éléments plus systémiques (ex. organisationnels et institutionnels). Leurs explications colorent les formes d’intervention qu’elles mettent en place ; 3) les formes d’intervention mises en place et les stratégies proposées pour susciter l’engagement des parents dans l’intervention en santé mentale. On retrouve notamment des stratégies axées sur l’adaptation du parent, des stratégies relationnelles et des stratégies structurelles. Enfin, les personnes participantes font preuve d’agentivité et de réflexivité par rapport à leur pratique en contexte interculturel.

description: Se investiga la manera en la que se construyen y emergen procesos de significación acerca de la depresión en jóvenes adultos de 18 a 24 años desde una perspectiva eco-sistémico-compleja, teniendo en cuenta la narrativa conversacional como técnica de investigación. Finalmente, se logró comprender que cada significado se teje desde distintos sucesos, experiencias y contextos que forman y deforman lo que es la depresión para los participantes, como el amor, la familia, la academia, el entorno social y la terapia.
description: The way in which signification processes about depression are constructed and emerge in young adults between 18 and 24 years of age is investigated from a complex-eco-systemic perspective, considering conversational narrative as a research technique. Finally, it will be understood that each meaning is woven from different events, experiences and contexts that form and distort what depression is for the participants, such as love, family, academia, the social environment, and therapy.

description: Glioma is the most common and deadly primary malignant tumor in adults. Treatment outcomes are ungratified due to the presence of blood–brain barrier (BBB), glioma stem cells (GSCs) and multidrug resistance (MDR). Docetaxel (DTX) is considered as a potential drug for the treatment of brain tumor, but its effectiveness is limited by its low bioavailability and drug resistance. Tetrandrine (TET) reverses the resistance of tumor cells to chemotherapy drugs. Borneol (BO) modified in micelles has been shown to promote DTX plus TET to cross the BBB, allowing the drug to better act on tumors. Therefore, we constructed BO-modified DTX plus TET micelles to inhibit chemotherapeutic drug resistance. Provide a new treatment method for drug-resistant brain gliomas. In this study, BO-modified DTX plus TET micelles were prepared by thin film dispersion method, their physicochemical properties were characterized. Its targeting ability was investigated. The therapeutic effect on GSCs was investigated by in vivo and in vitro experiments. The BO-modified DTX plus TET micelles were successfully constructed by thin film dispersion method, and the micelles showed good stability. The results showed that targeting micelles increased bEnd.3 uptake and helped drugs cross the BBB in vitro. And we also found that targeting micelles could inhibit cell proliferation, promote cell apoptosis and inhibit the expression of drug-resistant protein, thus provide a new treatment method for GSCs in vitro and in vivo. BO-modified DTX plus TET micelles may provide a new treatment method for drug-resistant brain gliomas.

description: In this paper we investigate theoretical pulsation models for the delta Scuti star 44 Tau. The star was monitored during several multisite campaigns which confirmed the presence of radial and nonradial oscillations. Moreover, its exceptionally low rotational velocity makes 44 Tau particulary interesting for an asteroseismic study. Due to the measured log g value of 3.6 +/- 0.1, main sequence and post-main sequence models have to be considered. We perform mode identification based on photometric and spectroscopic data. A nonadiabatic pulsation code is used to compute models that fit the identified modes. The influence of different opacity tables and element mixtures on the results is tested. The observed frequencies of 44 Tau can be fitted in both the main sequence and the post-main sequence evolutionary stage. Post-main sequence models are preferable as they fulfill almost all observational constraints (fit of observed frequencies, position in the HRD and instability range). These models can be obtained with normal chemical composition which is in agreement with recent spectroscopic measurements. The efficiency of envelope convection (in the framework of the mixing-length theory) is predicted to be very low in 44 Tau. We show that the results are sensitive to the choice between the OPAL and OP opacities. While the pulsation models of 44 Tau computed with OP opacities are considerably too cool and too faint, the use of OPAL opacities results in models within the expected temperature and luminosity range.

description: This article presents a possible inflation scenario as a consequence of non-minimal gravitational couplings in the Conformal Standard Model. The model consists, in comparison to the SM, of additional right-chiral neutrinos and complex scalars coupled to the right-chiral neutrinos but not to the SM particles. The inflation is driven by two non-minimally coupled fields one being the usual Higgs and the other one of the sterile scalars. It turns out that in this model the tensor to scalar ratio and spectral index can match the current data for a wide range of parameters.

Field-free nucleation of antivortices and giant vortices in non-superconducting materials

description: Giant vortices with higher phase-winding than $2π$ are usually energetically unfavorable, but geometric symmetry constraints on a superconductor in a magnetic field are known to stabilize such objects. Here, we show via microscopic calculations that giant vortices can appear in intrinsically non-superconducting materials, even without any applied magnetic field. The enabling mechanism is the proximity effect to a host superconductor where a current flows, and we also demonstrate that antivortices can appear in this setup. Our results open the possibility to study electrically controllable topological defects in unusual environments, which do not have to be exposed to magnetic fields or intrinsically superconducting, but instead display other types of order.

description: Mobility restrictions have been imposed on over half of the world's population as part of efforts to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus. Given the economic and psychological expense of these policies, understanding how their benefits depend on structural factors is critical for optimal policy design. We find causal evidence that the effectiveness of mobility-restricting policies in the United States has been critically constrained by ethnic divisions-U.S. counties with high levels of ethnic divisions fared worse than their less-divided counterparts after lockdowns in both COVID-19 cases and related deaths. This is especially true in areas with higher racial segregation. Following President Trump's State of Emergency declaration, a one standard deviation increase in the ethnic fragmentation index (EFI) in the most racially segregated counties increased COVID-19 cases and associated deaths by 1; 014 and 63, respectively; in the least segregated counties these outcomes are 112 and 4, respectively. These results highlight that ethnic divisions, rather than ethnic diversity, spurred drastic differences in COVID-19's impact. Consistent with less effective mobility restrictions in more ethnically divided counties, we find smaller mobility reductions and less mask-wearing in these counties following policy implementation. These results are not driven by a lack of physical public goods or by socioeconomic differences. Instead, we interpret our findings as the result of mobility restriction policies' imperfect enforceability. Where ethnic divisions are present, communication is sparser, pro-social norms are weaker, and communities are less able to enforce adherence by enacting social sanctions. Our results suggest that policies promoting ethnic and racial integration can allay the negative social and economic impacts of contagious disease by decreasing the likelihood of disease spread.
