description: In our previous paper â€˜Investing in the future of Rural Areasâ€™ presented at International Farm Managers Association (IFMA) 17 Congress in Bloomington, Illinois the overall background to the LEADER European wide bottom-up rural investment programme was outlined. The purpose of this paper is to encourage the adoption of the LEADER Approach to promote successful rural development. The paper will explore how the success of the programme when adopted at local level. It will also examine the strategies adopted to enable the rural development programme to impact on employment and community development. The paper will propose as a conclusion that the LEADER Approach when adopted in a strategic manner can impact positively on the vibrancy of rural areas and that the LEADER Approach is successful beyond that of any other policy instrument introduced for encouraging rural development.

description: In this paper we look for a correlations between intermediate $p_T$ particle pairs and the $v_2$ of the remaining low $p_T$ particles. We find that the shape of the flow vector distribution, which is calculated from all low $p_T$ tracks, depends in a non-trivial way on the angular separation between the high $p_T$ particle pairs in the event. Our analysis is based on 200 GeV Au+Au collision measured with the STAR detector.

description: The South African agricultural sector liberalised in 1995 (complied by 2000) and deregulated in 1997. The South African agricultural sector is also one of the least supported sectors in the world as measured with the Producer Support Estimate by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). This created an environment where agribusiness managers, other decision makers in the agro-food chains and policy makers face many new and complex dynamics and challenges. As in many other parts of the world, South Africa faces challenges pertaining to food security and poverty. The agricultural sector can play a vital role in addressing these challenges if one considers that it has some of the stronger forward and backward multipliers (including labour multiplier) in the South African economy. This becomes even more important from a rural development point of view where approximately 60 % of the poor reside. This paper aims to investigate the development path of different agricultural sectors over the past 10 years in order to identify those sub-sectors that can contribute significantly towards reducing poverty and increasing national food security. This will provide the basis for public-private sector intervention in those sub-sectors that require intervention to unlock potential, while investing more in those sub-sectors that are already making a significant contribution. The Boston Consulting Group (BSG) Matrix was used to analyze the South African agricultural sector. By using this methodology certain patterns in the behaviour of a sub-sector can be deducted. Moreover, sub-sectors are classified as cash cows, dogs, problem children and stars. The outcome of this study can also been use as an important indicator for further sub sector analysis. The results show that the real average growth for agricultural over the last ten years was 5.64 %. Of the 44 agricultural sub-sectors a total of 9 sectors of the 44 sectors show a negative growth and 10 sectors show a below average growth. The BSC matrix indicates 1 cash cow industry, 14 stars, 21 problem children and 8 dogs. Although some of these industries do not have a big market share the industries is important, it contribute much towards the value of agriculture, it is imperative to stimulate and protect these industries. Some of these industries have a very high labour multiplier and the socio impact can be immense. Therefore it is important to analyse movement of sectors in term of growth and market share.

A Model of Magnetically Induced Disc-Corona for Black Hole Binaries

description: We propose a model of magnetic connection (MC) of a black hole with its surrounding accretion disc based on large-scale magnetic field. The MC gives rise to transport of energy and angular momentum between the black hole and the disc, and the closed field lines pipe the hot matter evaporated from the disc, and shape it in the corona above the disc to form a magnetically induced disc-corona system, in which the corona has the same configuration as the large-scale magnetic field. We numerically solve the dynamic equations in the context of the Kerr metric, in which the large-scale magnetic field is determined by dynamo process and equipartition between magnetic pressure and gas pressure. Thus we can obtain a global solution rather than assuming the distribution of large-scale magnetic field beforehand. The main MC effects lie in three aspects. (1) The rotational energy of a fast-spinning black hole can be extracted, enhancing the dissipation in the accretion disc, (2) the closed field lines provide a natural channel for corona matter escaping from disc and finally falling into black hole, and (3) the scope of the corona can be bounded by the conservation of magnetic flux. We simulate the high-energy spectra of this system by using Monte-Carlo method, and find that the relative hardness of the spectra decreases as accretion rate or black hole spin $a_*$ increases. We fit the typical X-ray spectra of three black-hole binaries (GRO J1655-40, XTE 1118+480 and GX 339-4) in the low/hard or very high state.

description: The subgroup induction property is a property of self-similar groups acting on rooted trees introduced by Grigorchuk and Wilson in 2003 that appears to have strong implications on the structure of the groups possessing it. It was for example used in the proof that the first Grigorchuk group as well as the Gupta-Sidki 3-group are subgroup separable (locally extended residually finite) or to describe their finitely generated subgroups as well as their weakly maximal subgroups. However, until now, there were only two known examples of groups with this property, namely the first Grigorchuk group and the Gupta-Sidki 3-group.
 The aim of this article is twofold. First, we investigate various consequences of the subgroup induction property for branch groups, a particularly interesting class of self-similar groups. Notably, we show that finitely generated branch groups with the subgroup induction property must be torsion, just infinite and subgroup separable, and we establish conditions under which all their maximal subgroups are of finite index and all their weakly maximal subgroups are closed in the profinite topology. Then, we show that every torsion GGS group has the subgroup induction property, hence providing the first infinite family of examples of groups with this property.

description: We study the existence of deformations of all $14$ Gorenstein weighted projective spaces $\mathbf P$ of dimension $3$ by computing the number of times their general anticanonical divisors are extendable. In favorable cases (8 out of 14), we find that $\mathbf P$ deforms to a $3$-dimensional extension of a general non-primitive polarized $K3$ surface. On our way we show that each such $\mathbf P$ in its anticanonical model satisfies property $N_2$, and we compute the deformation space of the cone over $\mathbf P$. This gives as a byproduct the exact number of times $\mathbf P$ is extendable.

subject: farm business planning

description: The use of business planning in U.S. agriculture has grown rapidly in the past decade. A decade or two ago, the concept of developing a business plan for farmers or ranchers was rarely discussed by either producers or farm management educators. Today when educators, lenders or producers discuss farm management issues, the need for a business plan is usually one of the foremost topics mentioned. This paper discusses the reasons a producer should develop a business plan in order to document financial viability and demonstrate a thorough understanding of all aspects of managing the business. A business plan is a communication tool both externally with lenders and investors and internally with family members and employees. Agricultural producers seeking to develop a business plan face a number of challenges. One of the primary challenges is the time required to write a business plan and the challenge of completing the task. Educators struggle with the same issue but from the perspective of how to provide adequate assistance to producers developing a plan. There have also been limited business planning tools available that are relevant to agriculture. The development of AgPlan, an online agricultural business planning website has addressed a number of the business plan development challenges. AgPlan allows producers to select from four distinct business plan types, including traditional commodity agriculture, value-added agriculture, small business, and commercial fishing. For each type of business, AgPlan provides a business plan outline, tips or suggestions for each section of the plan, resource links to articles on specific topics, and sample plans. The most innovative feature of AgPlan is a producerâ€™s ability to give reviewers or advisors access to their plan and to interact with trusted reviewers as the plan is developed. AgPlan, www.AgPlan.umn.edu, is free for anyone to use and is online, so it is available and being used by producers throughout the world.

Subjects: subject: Agricultural Finance
subject: Operating profit margin ratio
subject: farm growth

description: The purpose of this paper was to examine the financial performance of a sample of crop/beef cow farms using the operating profit margin ratio and farm growth as relevant measures. Farms were divided into four performance categories: low profit/low growth; low profit/high growth; high profit/low growth; and high profit/high growth. Approximately 36 percent of the farms had above average operating profit margin ratios. Of this group, approximately 54 percent had a below average growth rate in the beef cow herd and the remaining 46 percent had an above average growth rate in the beef cow herd. Characteristics of these two groups were similar. However, interestingly, the farms with the above average growth rate in the beef cow herd, also had a higher growth rate in crop hectares from 2002 to 2009.

Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 2011
Subjects: Research and Development/Tech Change/Emerging Technologies

description: The European agricultural sector is exposed to a variety of social, technologic, economic and political changes with high dynamic and significant impact on farmersÂ´ business concepts. Managing change requires hard and soft entrepreneurial skills. Not surprisingly qualification measures meet an interested demand side. And there is a vivid supply side with qualified offers and topical concepts. Qualification measures have to be designed following the target groupsÂ´ expectations regarding topics, methods and outcome. The organizational framework must obey the specific preconditions of the branch. Research and development in the field of qualification is not an exact quantitative science. Hence results are to be discussed taking into account the framework and the selection of the sample to be interviewed resp. analyzed. However results from the participating observation research, that is underlying the presented case studies are relevant to quite a degree and have impact for the design, pr and marketing effort of the qualification providers. Three examples show basic mechanisms leading to successful offers with significant benefits for participants. The market says: Qualification measures have to be time- and cost-effective, state of the art regarding topics and methods and providing applicability and direct benefits. The farmers see a growing importance of soft skills for successful entrepreneurship. Finally there are responsibilities and also options for providers on the supply side to generate awareness, interest, decision and action of entrepreneurial minded farmers to participate in high quality offers. The paper comprises the essence of nearly 10 years practical work in the field of qualification and in directly related research and development measures. SWOT-analysis, field research and conceptual work have been important activities to contribute to qualitative and accepted offers to a market of growing importance.

description: Compressed sensing aims to undersample certain high-dimensional signals, yet accurately reconstruct them by exploiting signal characteristics. Accurate reconstruction is possible when the object to be recovered is sufficiently sparse in a known basis. Currently, the best known sparsity-undersampling tradeoff is achieved when reconstructing by convex optimization -- which is expensive in important large-scale applications. Fast iterative thresholding algorithms have been intensively studied as alternatives to convex optimization for large-scale problems. Unfortunately known fast algorithms offer substantially worse sparsity-undersampling tradeoffs than convex optimization. We introduce a simple costless modification to iterative thresholding making the sparsity-undersampling tradeoff of the new algorithms equivalent to that of the corresponding convex optimization procedures. The new iterative-thresholding algorithms are inspired by belief propagation in graphical models. Our empirical measurements of the sparsity-undersampling tradeoff for the new algorithms agree with theoretical calculations. We show that a state evolution formalism correctly derives the true sparsity-undersampling tradeoff. There is a surprising agreement between earlier calculations based on random convex polytopes and this new, apparently very different theoretical formalism.

In Asian countries today, the countries of East, South-East, West, and South Asia operate as educational hubs. These countries have implemented the concept of mass higher education, provided direct investment in educational programs for the development of innovations, created a cluster of business schools and consulting firms, and developed educational hubs. These examples show the huge role of state capital in the development of educational services. Progress in the field of education and the rich historical and cultural heritage of Uzbekistan creates a huge potential for becoming a new regional educational hub in Central Asia.

description: Several sports tournaments contain a round-robin group stage where the teams are assigned to groups subject to some constraints. Hence, the organisers usually use a computer-assisted random draw to avoid any dead end, a situation when the teams still to be drawn cannot be assigned to the remaining empty slots. This procedure is known to be unfair: the feasible allocations are not equally likely, that is, the draw does not have a uniform distribution. We quantify the implied unfairness of the 2018 FIFA World Cup draw and evaluate its effect on the probability of qualification for the knockout stage for each national team. The official draw order of Pot 1, Pot 2, Pot 3, Pot 4 turns out to be a significantly better option than the 23 other draw orders with respect to the unwanted distortions. Nonetheless, the non-uniform draw distorts the probability of qualification by more than one percentage point for two countries. Our results call attention to the non-negligible role of draw order and make it possible for policymakers to decide whether using fairer draw mechanisms is justified.

description: Während die 1970er Jahre immer wieder mit der beschwörenden Formel einer „Rückkehr des Politischen“ charakterisiert werden, gilt als Kennzeichen der Achtzigerjahre die „Rücknahme des Politischen“.1 Mögen diese Formeln als schnelle Etikettierungen und Einordnungen noch nachvollziehbar erscheinen, so sind sie nach differenzierten bildungshistorischen und quellenorientierten
 Analysen als zu stark typisierend und damit als problematisch zu werten. Womöglich fördern sie nicht, sondern verhindern eher, intensiver über Merkmale von Zeitabschnitten nachzudenken.

Im Unterschied zu den Abhandlungen etwa über die „1968er“2 und später den 1970er Jahren3 haben die Achtzigerjahre in historischen Studien und populären Schriften bisher wenig Aufmerksamkeit gefunden – dies gilt nicht nur für die Historiographie im Allgemein, sondern auch für die pädagogische Historiographie im Besonderen.

description: New Zealandâ€™s pastoral livestock farm systems, once predominantly breeding/finishing properties geared towards the commodity market have become increasingly diverse niche market producers leading to the development of additional farm management styles such as organic and integrated management. Farmers implementing these systems produce to specific standards, which may constrain their otherwise conventional management style. ARGOS, a research project with the aim to investigate the economic, environmental, and social differences between organic, integrated and conventional systems of production, has collected 4 years of meat production data from 36 South Island sheep and beef farms and has used this to measure physical production differences between Organic, Integrated and Conventional sheep/beef farms. Net meat export was used as the performance indicator to compare these farming systems. Organic management systems had 60% net meat export of integrated and conventional systems for lamb however variability within the management systems masked significant differences for carcass weight sold or the distribution of monthly sales and purchases. Likewise there were no significant differences between management systems when the net meat export values was used as a measure of production efficiency based on the net meat exported as a percentage of sheep wintered. The variability highlights the uniqueness and complexity of individual farm systems.

description: We present the first results of a program to characterize the disk and envelope structure of typical Class 0 protostars in nearby low-mass star forming regions. We use Spitzer IRS mid-infrared spectra, high resolution CARMA 230 GHz continuum imaging, and 2-D radiative transfer models to constrain the envelope structure, as well as the size and mass of the circum-protostellar disk in Serpens FIRS 1. The primary envelope parameters (centrifugal radius, outer radius, outflow opening angle, and inclination) are well constrained by the spectral energy distribution (SED), including Spitzer IRAC and MIPS photometry, IRS spectra, and 1.1 mm Bolocam photometry. These together with the excellent uv-coverage (4.5-500 klam) of multiple antenna configurations with CARMA allow for a robust separation of the envelope and a resolved disk. The SED of Serpens FIRS 1 is best fit by an envelope with the density profile of a rotating, collapsing spheroid with an inner (centrifugal) radius of approximately 600 AU, and the millimeter data by a large resolved disk with Mdisk~1.0 Msun and Rdisk~300 AU. These results suggest that large, massive disks can be present early in the main accretion phase. Results for the larger, unbiased sample of Class~0 sources in the Perseus, Serpens, and Ophiuchus molecular clouds are needed to determine if relatively massive disks are typical in the Class 0 stage.

description: We examine possibilities of pion condensation with zero momentum (s-wave condensation) in neutron stars by using the pion-nucleus optical potential U and the relativistic mean field (RMF) models. We use low-density phenomenological optical potentials parameterized to fit deeply bound pionic atoms or pion-nucleus elastic scatterings. Proton fraction (Y_p) and electron chemical potential (mu_e) in neutron star matter are evaluated in RMF models. We find that the s-wave pion condensation hardly takes place in neutron stars and especially has no chance if hyperons appear in neutron star matter and/or b_1 parameter in U has density dependence.

description: In 2007, OSU Extension professionals developed and conducted a farm succession program for farm business in Ohio, USA. The teamâ€™s first objective was to develop Extension resources to help farm families as they discuss how to transfer the family businesses. The teamâ€™s second objective was to develop and teach farm succession workshops. These workshops provided 105 participants with the skills needed to develop a farm transfer plan and to increase family communication. This paper summarizes the Extension resources developed, the post program evaluation of the workshops as well as the six month follow-up survey to determine the succession planning progress and future needs of the clientele. Seventy-eight families responded to the post-program survey and 53 responded (50.5%) to the six month survey. The results of the post program survey and the six month follow-up survey showed the workshops were successful as many positive comments were written by the participants and good mean gains in knowledge gain were achieved. The six month survey indicated the participants made great strides in putting into action the tools they learned during the workshops. Eighty-five percent (85.1%) have had discussions with their family about business transition, 84.8% have improved their communication, and 76.6% have started an estate plan. In addition, 54.2% of the participants held an intergenerational family meeting, 35.4% reported meeting with their attorney, and 33.3% met with their accountant to develop a succession plan. OSU Extension has continued to offer workshops across Ohio as a result of the surveys. Additional Extension factsheets and curriculum have been authored by the teaching team. Additional strategies for following up with the program participants are also being explored by the team.

NPR - Family Business Continuance: A Global Perspective (p268-274)

Subjects: subject: Farm Management

subject: business continuance
subject: family farm businesses

description: The traditional definition of succession in a family business is to pass the assets on to the next generation based on either primogeniture or split equally amongst siblings. Very little thought is given neither to the â€˜businessâ€™ aspect nor to the emotional complexities which are inherent in a family business and are possibly the most significant factors to be considered in terms of success or failure. A lack of transparency and poor/ineffective communication between individual family members are cited amongst the main causes of conflict and failed management transfers. In a paper written by Danny Klinefelter, Mark Voeller reports that 60% of failure can be attributed to these issues and 25% as a result of poorly trained successors. The current global climate is a schizophrenic confluence of sustainability, security (food, water, energy, credit) subsidies and succession overlaid with the Euro-centric view of â€˜not in my back-yardâ€™. This pushes production to less environmentally and economically mature countries whose resultant lower costs of production impact on the viability and therefore future of many overtly-regulated EU farm businesses. Farmers need to take responsibility for where they are today and where they want to be in the future and not blame others for not taking advantage of the opportunities that they themselves could see. To do this, they must become more cognizant of the global pressures on agriculture and food production, the possible impact of this on their businesses and their role within this. Farmers, like any business must embrace the concept of succession and view this as a segmented process, which takes into account people; their visions, dreams and desires for the future rather than the singular tax-driven asset transfer process that defines succession today. Family farmers cannot remain ignorant of the global context, market pressures and consumer demands, in which their businesses operate nor can they ignore the more professional and strategic aspects of managing their businesses i.e. finances, human resources, communication and conflict management etc.

NPR - A Case Study Of Podcasting In Australian Dairy Extension (p10-13)

description: In August 2009 Industry & Investment NSW launched thirteen podcasts on its web site. Since August 2009 the counter system on this website showed 14,481 total hits to the thirteen dairy podcasts. The effectiveness of the podcasts as an extension medium has been evaluated since the launch of the podcasts. The preface for this evaluation of the podcast series was that any new medium must be as â€˜good asâ€™ or â€˜better thanâ€™ the existing system in which an organisation is already prepared to invest time and dollars. In the case of podcast, the comparable existing system was the web based delivery of extension material as PDF files. The analysis of web site traffic revealed that over a thirteen month period the thirteen dairy podcasts generated 3.65 times the downloads of the top thirteen publications in PDF format. The skill set required to develop and deliver podcasts is one that can be readily acquired by most extension officers with minimal training. With a low start-up and ongoing cost, podcasts will quickly become a mainstay in the toolbox of many extension officers.

Islamic Liberation Theology in South Africa: Farid Esack's Religio-Political Thought
Creators: name: Sezgin, Yusuf Enes Samiloglu
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: In this thesis, through analyzing the religiopolitical ideas of Farid Esack, I explore the local and global historical factors that made possible the emergence of Islamic liberation theology in South Africa. The study reveals how Esack defined and improved Islamic liberation theology in the South African context, how he converged with and diverged from the mainstream transnational Muslim political thought of the time, and how he engaged with Christian liberation theology. I argue that locating Islamic liberation theology within the debate on transnational Islamism of the 1970s onwards helps to explore the often-overlooked internal diversity of contemporary Muslim political thought. Moreover, it might provide important insights into the possible continuities between the emancipatory Muslim thought of the pre-1980s and Islamic liberation theology.
Quadrilateral-octagon coordinates for almost normal surfaces

description: Normal and almost normal surfaces are essential tools for algorithmic 3-manifold topology, but to use them requires exponentially slow enumeration algorithms in a high-dimensional vector space. The quadrilateral coordinates of Tollefson alleviate this problem considerably for normal surfaces, by reducing the dimension of this vector space from 7n to 3n (where n is the complexity of the underlying triangulation). Here we develop an analogous theory for octagonal almost normal surfaces, using quadrilateral and octagon coordinates to reduce this dimension from 10n to 6n. As an application, we show that quadrilateral-octagon coordinates can be used exclusively in the streamlined 3-sphere recognition algorithm of Jaco, Rubinstein and Thompson, reducing experimental running times by factors of thousands. We also introduce joint coordinates, a system with only 3n dimensions for octagonal almost normal surfaces that has appealing geometric properties.

Self-perceived needs and nursing involvement with the elderley living at home
Creators: name: Donaghue, Shirley June, 1930

Year: 2011

description: This study surveyed the self perceptions of thirty individuals over sixty-five years of age, who lived in the Vancouver Quadra electoral district, in order to gather information about their needs. The study was designed to answer three questions. Do the elderly living at home in a specific geographical area of Vancouver perceive themselves as having needs in the need areas defined by the literature, namely housing, health, independent living, employment, economic security and interpersonal relations? Do the elderly in the selected sample perceive their needs as being met? Do the elderly in the selected sample perceive nurses as involved in helping them meet their needs? A semi-structured interview schedule was used to obtain information relevant to the research problem. The results of this study indicated that more than half the respondents, or 53 per cent, perceived needs in the need areas defined by the literature. The majority of perceived needs, or 76 per cent, were not met. None of the elderly whose needs were met perceived nurses as involved in helping them meet these needs. Moreover, the majority of the study sample, or 87 per cent, did not perceive nurses as potentially helpful in assisting them to meet their needs. The study recommends that nurses extend their current role and become actively involved in assessing and meeting the needs of the elderly living at home.
