A new spin on an old debate : Errors in farmer-reported production and their implications for inverse scale - productivity relationship in Uganda
Creators: name: Gourlay, Sydney

name: Lobell, David B.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Based on a two-round household panel survey conducted in Eastern Uganda, this study shows that the analysis of the inverse scale-productivity relationship (IR) is highly sensitive to how plot-level maize production is measured. While farmer-reported production-based plot-level maize yield regressions consistently lend support to the IR, the com- parable regressions estimated with maize yields based on sub-plot crop cutting, full-plot crop cutting, and remote sensing point towards constant returns to scale, at the mean as well as throughout the distributions. In deriving the much-debated coefficient for GPS-based plot area, the maize yield regressions control for objective measures of soil fertility and edge effects at the plot-level, as well as time-invariant household- and parcel-level unobserved hetero- geneity in select specifications. The core finding appears to be driven by over-estimation of farmer-reported maize production vis-a-vis their crop cutting-based counterparts, particularly in the lower half of the plot area distribution.

description: The article is devoted to a review and analysis of restructuring in the rural economy of Ukraine in the past 25 years, being the years of the country’s independence. The main issues have been noted, one of the most influential being the chaotic and unregulated development – based not on thought-through policies, but on the urge of various business groups to achieve high incomes and control over the market, leaving most of the rural inhabitants without proper support and with underdeveloped infrastructure. The main changes in the 1990s and 2000s have been reviewed with the focus on their influence upon the rural economy. Agricultural production indicators have been analysed, including the structure of areas under crops, changes in the production of main agricultural crops, quantity of livestock, including poultry, as well as economic issues, such as incomes in the sector. Vast analysis is given of factors which influence the undergoing processes in Ukrainian rural economy (in particular the state agricultural support system and quality of reforms in agriculture), as well as local endogenous factors (reluctance of rural inhabitants to develop and take personal initiative).

Subjects: beyond4.0, jobs, industrie4.0, policy brief

description: Funded by the Horizon 2020 programme, BEYOND4.0 examines the impact of new digital technologies on the future of jobs, business models and welfare in the European Union (EU). Its aim is to support the delivery of an inclusive European future that provides decent work and decent lives for EU citizens. Two particular developments are salient to policymakers: Industrie 4.0and the platform economy. The first represents the digitalisation of production, epitomised by Industrie 4.0. The second involves the digitalisation of work, sometimes referred to as ‘Uberisation’. Both are examined by BEYOND4.0 and both offer opportunities and challenges. This Policy Brief focuses on the first development –Industrie 4.0in the context of the 4th Industrial Revolution. It highlights some of the findings from past and emerging research. It then outlines current policy thinking about the opportunities and challenges before making recommendations for further evidence-based policy development.

A Positive and Energy Stable Numerical Scheme for the Poisson-Nernst-Planck-Cahn-Hilliard Equations with Steric Interactions

description: We consider numerical methods for the Poisson-Nernst-Planck-Cahn-Hilliard (PNPCH) equations with steric interactions. We propose a novel energy stable numerical scheme that respects mass conservation and positivity at the discrete level. Existence and uniqueness of the solution to the proposed nonlinear scheme are established by showing that the solution is a unique minimizer of a convex functional over a closed, convex domain. The positivity of numerical solutions is further theoretically justified by the singularity of the entropy terms, which prevents the minimizer from approaching zero concentrations. A further numerical analysis proves discrete free-energy dissipation. Extensive numerical tests are performed to validate that the numerical scheme is first-order accurate in time and second-order accurate in space, and is capable of preserving the desired properties, such as mass conservation, positivity, and free energy dissipation, at the discrete level. Moreover, the PNPCH equations and the proposed scheme are applied to study charge dynamics and self-assembled nanopatterns in highly concentrated electrolytes that are widely used in electrochemical energy devices. Numerical results demonstrate that the PNPCH equations and our numerical scheme are able to capture nanostructures, such as lamellar patterns and labyrinthine patterns in electric double layers and the bulk, and multiple time relaxation with multiple time scales. In addition, we numerically characterize the interplay between cross steric interactions of short range and the concentration gradient regularization, and their impact on the development of nanostructures in the equilibrium state.

description: It often appears that the most, indeed perhaps the only, effective role of statistics is to bolster decisions policymakers were prepared to take on other grounds. The secondary effects of smoking, the sex differential in SAT scores, the census undercount controversy, the validity of DNA evidence and the evidence of the relation of the race of the victim to the imposition of the death penalty all provide examples of the intertwining of political and statistical considerations. Although the court in Alabama v. United States (1962) attributed to statistics the power to speak, if courts do not want to hear what the statistics are saying they just do not listen. Moreover, it sometimes appears that statistics are less likely to be relied upon if they challenge one's own interest. Confronted at their own institutions with an analysis of faculty salaries showing evidence of discrimination, often the very faculty whose stock-in-trade is to persuade others of the efficacy of statistics refuse to believe what is presented to them.

description: The Galactic black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070 had a bright outburst in 2018 when it became the second brightest X-ray source in the Sky. It was too bright for X-ray CCD instruments such as XMM-Newton and Chandra, but was well observed by photon-counting instruments such as NICER and NuSTAR. We report here on the discovery of an excess emission component during the soft state. It is best modelled with a blackbody spectrum in addition to the regular disk emission, modelled either as diskbb or kerrbb. Its temperature varies from about 0.9 to 1.1 keV which is about 30 to 80 per cent higher than the inner disc temperature of diskbb. Its flux varies between 4 and 12 percent of the disc flux. Simulations of magnetised accretion discs have predicted the possibility of excess emission associated with a non-zero torque at the Innermost Stable Circular Orbit (ISCO) about the black hole, which from other NuSTAR studies lies at about 5 gravitational radii or about 60 km (for a black hole mass is 8 M). In this case the emitting region at the ISCO has a width varying between 1.3 and 4.6 km and would encompass the start of the plunge region where matter begins to fall freely into the black hole.

description: The article discusses changes in the social structure of rural population in the years 1991–2013. In that period the share of farmers decreased from 46% to 27%, the share of workers increasing from 33% to 45% and the share of middle class – from 15% to 27%. These changes are the result of three overlapping processes: deagrarianisation / depeasantization (the specific, two-phase “end” of the peasants), proletarianization (saturation of rural community by the representatives of social groups classified as blue-collar workers) and gentrification (i.e. the growth of middle class, also called bourgeois). In Poland, those processes took a different course than in the West: they are not only shifted in time, but they also overlap. The article is based on the data from 1991, 2003 and 2013.

description: Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI), one of technological advancements to impact in day today’s lives, is being adopted or used for teaching and learning English language. Unlike developed countries such as the U.S.A and China which have AI-led technology for effective Teaching Learning with AI- powered tools, a few schools in Uzbekistan have only prioritized use of AI- powered tools. However, issues are yet to address while adopting AI assisted teaching aids. This paper aims at discussing potential issues while integrating AI- powered Language Teaching technologies in classrooms. Much of discussions presented in this papers is purely based on the speaker’s five month observations at School 205, Mirzo Ulugbek, Tashkent. Most importantly, potential BWA (Before, While and After) issues while incorporating the AI -assisted teaching tools in classrooms. B- issues include funding of Public authorities, conventional attitude and belief towards technology, ethical and social concerns and lack of increased trainings for teachers for optimized teaching- learning. W(hile) potential issues consists of heavy and sophisticated link with intelligent algorithm, malfunctioning or disruption of technology, incorrect outputs due to supply of inaccurate data etc. A(fter)- issues include shortage of AI specialists, passivation of AI tools, less monitoring, unrewarding etc.

description: We prove the Gopakumar-Marino-Vafa formula for special cubic Hodge integrals. The GMV formula arises from Chern-Simons/string duality applied to the unknot in the three sphere. The GMV formula is a q-analog of the ELSV formula for linear Hodge integrals. We find a system of bilinear localization equations relating linear and special cubic Hodge integrals. The GMV formula then follows easily from the ELSV formula. An operator form of the GMV formula is presented in the last section of the paper.

description: We introduce a Ramsey pulse scheme which extracts the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian associated to an arbitrary Lindblad dynamics. We propose a realted protocol to measure via interferometry a generalised Loschmidt echo of a generic state evolving in time with the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian itself, and we apply the scheme to a one-dimensional weakly interacting Bose gas coupled to a stochastic atomic impurity. The Loschmidt echo is mapped into a functional integral from which we calculate the long-time decohering dynamics at arbitrary impurity strengths. For strong dissipation we uncover the phenomenology of a quantum many-body Zeno effect: corrections to the decoherence exponent resulting from the impurity self-energy becomes purely imaginary, in contrast to the regime of small dissipation where they instead enhance the decay of quantum coherences. Our results illustrate the prospects for experiments employing Ramsey interferometry to study dissipative quantum impurities in condensed matter and cold atoms systems.

The politics of IO performance : A framework
Creators: name: Gutner, Tamar
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Some international organizations (IOs) are subject to constant criticism for producing poor results while others are praised for accomplishing difficult tasks despite political and resource constraints. Indeed, IO performance varies substantially over time and across tasks, and yet the international relations literature has devoted little attention to why this occurs. This article provides a framework for studying IO performance. After addressing some of the distinct challenges of conceptualizing and analyzing performance in the context of IOs, we discuss the tradeoffs of using different performance metrics—from process indicators to outcome indicators—and present a typology of factors that influence performance. Finally, we discuss research strategies for those interested in studying performance rigorously. The policy relevance of studying IO performance is clear: only if we understand why some IOs perform better than others can we begin to improve their performance in a systematic way. As many organizations come under pressure to reform, while at the same time taking on new and more complicated tasks, scholars should be actively engaged in debates surrounding IO performance and its role in effective governance at the international level.

description: A theoretical model for understanding photomagnetism in the heptanuclear complex $[Mo(IV)(CN)_2(CN-CuL)_6]^{8+}$ perchlorate is developed. It is a many-body model involving the active orbitals on the transition metal ions. The model is exactly solved using a valence bond approach. The ground state solution of the model is highly degenerate and is spanned by five S=0 states, nine S=1 states, five S=2 states and one S=3 state. The orbital occupancies in all these states correspond to six $Cu(II)$ ions and one diamagnetic $Mo(IV)$ ion. The optically excited charge-transfer (CT) state in each spin sector occur at nearly the same excitation energy of 2.993 eV for the physically reasonable parameter values. The degeneracy of the CT states is largest in the S=3 sector and so is the transition dipole moment from the ground state to these excited states. Thus laser irradiation with light of this energy results in most intense absorption in the S=3 sector. The life-time of the S=3 excited states is also expected to be the largest as the number of states below that energy is very sparse in this spin sector when compared to other spin sectors. These twin features of our model explain the observed photomagnetism in the $[Mo(IV)(CN)_2(CN-CuL)_6]^{8+}$ complex.

description: The positivity of the integrand of certain Euclidean space functional integrals implies that the free energy per unit volume for QCD with a baryon chemical potential $μ_B$ (and zero isospin chemical potential) is greater than the free energy with isospin chemical potential $μ_I = (2 μ_B)/N_c$ (and zero baryon chemical potential). This relation implies a bound on the nucleon mass: there exists a particle X in QCD such that $M_N \ge (N_c m_X)/(2 I_X)$ where $m_X$ is the mass and of the particle and $I_X$ is its isospin.

description: We develop an analytic model to calculate the rate at which galaxy disks are heated by dark matter substructures orbiting in their halos. The model takes into account the internal structure, mass function and accretion rate of satellites expected in the LambdaCDM cosmology, as well as the growth of the disk by accretion and mergers, but it ignores resonant heating of the disk and the dynamical effects of spiral arms and bars. We calibrate this model against N-body simulations and demonstrate that it is able to reproduce the N-body heating rates to within a factor of 3 in the majority of cases. Our model gives the distribution of disk scale-heights for galaxies of different luminosities. For L* spiral galaxies, it predicts a median disk thickness of only 5% of the radial scale-length if substructure is the only source of heating. The median disk thickness increases to nearly 20% of the radial scale-length when heating due to gravitational scattering of stars by molecular clouds is also included. The latter value is close to the thickness estimated observationally for the disk of the Milky Way galaxy. The distribution of disk thickness predicted by the model is also consistent with a recent observational determination for sub-L* galaxies by Bizyaev & Mitronova. Thus, the observed thickness of the stellar disks of spiral galaxies seems to be entirely compatible with the abundance of substructure in dark matter halos predicted by the standard Lambda-dominated cold dark matter model of structure formation. In an Omega_0=1 universe, our best model of galaxy formation produces similar scale-heights, a consequence of the fact that similar amounts of substructure are accreted by halos during the lifetime of the disk in Omega_0=1 and Omega_0=0.3, Lambda_0=0.7 cold dark matter cosmologies.

description: The interior Dirichlet boundary value problem for the diffusion equation in non-homogeneous media is reduced to a system of Boundary-Domain Integral Equations (BDIEs) employing the parametrix obtained in (Fresneda-Portillo, 2019) different from (Chkadua et. al 2009). We further extend the results obtained in (Fresneda-Portillo, 2019) for the mixed problem in a smooth domain with $L^{2}(Ω)$ right hand side to Lipschitz domains and source term $f$ in the Sobolev space $H^{-1}(Ω)$, where neither the classical nor the canonical co-normal derivatives are well defined. Equivalence between the system of BDIEs and the original BVP is proved along with their solvability and solution uniqueness in appropriate Sobolev spaces.

We show that a Bianchi I spacetime generically induces both anisotropies and quantum entanglement on cosmological perturbations, and provide the tools to compute the details of these features. We then apply this formalism to a scenario in which the inflationary era is preceded by an anisotropic Bianchi I phase, and discuss the potential imprints in observable quantities. The formalism developed here paves the road to a simultaneous canonical quantization of both the homogeneous degrees of freedom and the perturbations, a task that we develop in a companion paper.

description: This work presents a theoretical and numerical study of electrokinetic flow and the zeta potential for the case of slit channels with nanoscale roughness of dimensions comparable to the Debye length, by employing molecular dynamics simulations and continuum-level analyses. A simple analytical model for considering the effects of the surface roughness is proposed by employing matched asymptotic solutions for the charge density and fluid flow field, and matching conditions that satisfy electroneutrality and the Onsager reciprocal relation between the electroosmotic flow rate and streaming current. The proposed analytical model quantitatively accounts for results from molecular dynamics simulations that consider the presence of ion solvation shells and surface hydration layers. Our analysis indicates that a simultaneous knowledge of the electroosmotic and pressure-driven flow rate or streaming current can be instrumental to determine unambiguously the zeta potential and the characteristic surface roughness height.

description: Some international organizations (IOs) are subject to constant criticism for producing poor results while others are praised for accomplishing difficult tasks despite political and resource constraints. Indeed, IO performance varies substantially over time and across tasks, and yet the international relations literature has devoted little attention to why this occurs. This article provides a framework for studying IO performance. After addressing some of the distinct challenges of conceptualizing and analyzing performance in the context of IOs, we discuss the tradeoffs of using different performance metrics—from process indicators to outcome indicators—and present a typology of factors that influence performance. Finally, we discuss research strategies for those interested in studying performance rigorously. The policy relevance of studying IO performance is clear: only if we understand why some IOs perform better than others can we begin to improve their performance in a systematic way. As many organizations come under pressure to reform, while at the same time taking on new and more complicated tasks, scholars should be actively engaged in debates surrounding IO performance and its role in effective governance at the international level.

description: My father's father, George Atherton.

He joined up within days of war breaking out at 27. He had been working in cotton mills since he was 12. He was one of 9 children, and his mother was widowed when most of them were very young.

The family lived in Oldham and nearly all of them worked in the mills.

He got to France in May 1915 and was home again by September, having managed to get a 'blighty' wound, sufficiently severe to get him out of further service but not bad enough to ruin his life.

He was at Neuve Chapelle and there seems to have been an incident with a shell landing in his trench, he was partially buried.

The casualty tags shows him going to a casualty clearing station, he then went home to convalesce and there are pics of him in a great house which has been turned into a convalescent home/hospital but we don't know where that was.

There is a pic of him whilst convalescing. He looks just like my Dad.

description: Composed of shocked solar wind, the Earth's magnetosheath serves as a natural laboratory to study the transition of turbulence from low Alfv{é}n Mach number, $M_\mathrm{A}$, to high $M_\mathrm{A}$. The simultaneous observations of magnetic field and plasma moments with unprecedented high temporal resolution provided by NASA's \textit{Magnetospheric Multiscale} Mission enable us to study the magnetosheath turbulence at both magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and sub-ion scales. Based on 1841 burst-mode segments of MMS-1 from 2015/09 to 2019/06, comprehensive patterns of the spatial evolution of magnetosheath turbulences are obtained: (1) from the sub-solar region to the flanks, $M_\mathrm{A}$ increases from $$ 5. At MHD scales, the spectral indices of the magnetic-field and velocity spectra present a positive and negative correlation with $M_\mathrm{A}$. However, no obvious correlations between the spectral indices and $M_\mathrm{A}$ are found at sub-ion scales. (2) from the bow shock to the magnetopause, the turbulent sonic Mach number, $M_{\mathrm{turb}}$, generally decreases from $>$ 0.4 to $

title: Influence of nutrition on parasitism in periparturient dairy ewes
Creators: name: Partington, Elizabeth Claire
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2005

description: Influence of Nutrition on Parasitism in Periparturient Dairy Ewes Increased anthelmintic resistance has lead many researchers to investigate alternative methods of parasite control. It is believed that most larval contamination of the pasture is derived mainly from the mature breeding ewe due to the periparturient rise (PPR) in faecal egg counts (FECs). The aim of this study was to determine if manipulating the dietary supply of metabolisable protein (MP) or fish oil to the periparturient ewe can moderate the PPR.

The first experiment investigated the effects of increased MP supply and fish oil on the PPR of machine-milked ewes. The second experiment investigated the effects of nematode infection and increased MP supply on the PPR of machine-milked ewes and the third experiment investigated the effects of machine milking compared to suckling twin lambs and the effect of increasing dietary MP on the PPR.

In all the experiments, FECs, peripheral eosinophil counts, blood haematology and metabolite analyses were carried out and milk yields and composition were recorded. Additionally, in Exp.l immunoglobulin titres were determined, in Exp.2 pepsinogen assays were carried out and in Exp.3 blood was collected for lymphocyte stimulation responses. In Exps.2 and 3, the ewes were slaughtered to investigate nematode burden, mucosal mast cell (MMC) and mucosal eosinophil counts.

The dietary treatments had no significant effects on the immunological parameters throughout all three experiments, although in Exp.2 larval challenge increased MMCs, mucosal eosinophils and pepsinogen assays. There was no benefit of increased dietary MP or fish oil on FECs in Exp.l. and no beneficial effect of increased dietary MP on FECs during Exp.2. However, in Exp.3 increased MP reduced the FECs from the twin suckled ewes but had no effect on the machine-milked ewe FECs. The machine-milked ewes had significantly lower milk yields than the suckled ewes and it may be that the machine-milked dairy ewe may not suffer the PPR due to some unidentified mechanism.

The emergence of global attention to health systems strengthening

description: After a period of proliferation of disease-specific initiatives, over the past decade and especially since 2005 many organizations involved in global health have come to direct attention and resources to the issue of health systems strengthening. We explore how and why such attention emerged. A qualitative methodology, process-tracing, was used to construct a case history and analyse the factors shaping and inhibiting global political attention for health systems strengthening. We find that the critical factors behind the recent burst of attention include fears among global health actors that health systems problems threaten the achievement of the health-related Millennium Development Goals, concern about the adverse effects of global health initiatives on national health systems, and the realization among global health initiatives that weak health systems present bottlenecks to the achievement of their organizational object- ives. While a variety of actors now embrace health systems strengthening, they do not constitute a cohesive policy community. Moreover, the concept of health systems strengthening remains vague and there is a weak evidence base for informing policies and programmes for strengthening health systems. There are several reasons to question the sustainability of the agenda. Among these are the global financial crisis, the history of pendulum swings in global health and the instrumental embrace of the issue by some actors.
Solitons in a system of three linearly coupled fiber gratings

Subjects: subject: Pattern Formation and Solitons (nlin.PS)

description: We introduce a model of three parallel-coupled nonlinear waveguiding cores equipped with Bragg gratings (BGs), which form an equilateral triangle. The objective of the work is to investigate solitons and their stability in this system. New results are also obtained for the earlier investigated dual-core system. Families of symmetric and antisymmetric solutions are found analytically, extending beyond the spectral gap in both the dual- and tri-core systems. Moreover, these families persist in the case (strong coupling between the cores) when there is no gap in the system's linear spectrum. Three different types of asymmetric solitons are found in the tri-core system. They exist only inside the spectral gap, but asymmetric solitons with nonvanishing tails are found outside the gap as well. The symmetric solitons are stable up to points at which two types of asymmetric solitons bifurcate from them. Beyond the bifurcation, one type of the asymmetric solitons is stable, and the other is not. Then, they swap their stability. In both the dual- and tri-core systems, the stability region of the symmetric solitons extends far beyond the gap, persisting in the case when the system has no gap at all. The whole stability region of antisymmetric solitons is located outside the gap. Thus, solitons in multi-core BGs can be observed experimentally in a much broader frequency band than in the single-core one, and in a wider parameter range than it could be expected.
