Publisher: name: Series - International Journal of TV Serial Narratives
Year: 2023

description: The Swedish public service television company, SVT (Sveriges Television), has been airing Turkish dramas regularly for the past decade. By examining the reception of Turkish TV series in Sweden, this ongoing research aims to shed light on the cultural exchange between the two countries and to contribute to ongoing debates surrounding the role of television series in facilitating transcultural encounters. To gain a comprehensive understanding of the audience’s reception of Turkish television series in Sweden, this study employs in-depth interviews with loyal viewers, bloggers who wrote about Turkish dramas and executives at SVT and the Eccho Rights distribution company, which played a role in bringing these series to Sweden. This approach allows for a nuanced examination of the motivations, perceptions, and experiences surrounding the broadcast and reception of Turkish TV series in Sweden. The paper concludes that Turkish TV series that appeal to Swedish audiences with a range of unique and compelling elements tend to create loyal audiences with strong ties to these shows.

description: In higher dimensions, we study Degenerate-Higher-Order-Scalar-Tensor theories and we derive solutions that resemble the Schwarzschild Anti-de Sitter black holes. We compute their thermodynamic quantities following the Wald formalism, satisfying the First Law of Thermodynamics and a higher dimensional Smarr relation. Constructing a Noether charge with a suitable choice of a space-like Killing vector, we obtain the shear viscosity of the non-gravitational dual field theory, where for a suitable choice of the couplings functions, the Kovtun-Son-Starinets bound is violated. These results are corroborated by the calculation of the Green's functions following the Kubo formalism.

description: Heating to high-lying states strongly limits the experimental observation of driving induced non-equilibrium phenomena, particularly when the drive has a broad spectrum. Here we show that, for entire families of structured random drives known as random multipolar drives, particle excitation to higher bands can be well controlled even away from a high-frequency driving regime. This opens a window for observing drive-induced phenomena in a long-lived prethermal regime in the lowest band.

description: The fact that the digital platforms in Turkey are a decisive force in content production (film and TV series) has enabled the production of freer and more creative content in a number of creative fields such as screenplay, narrative language, cinematography, costume/set design and acting in the context of TV series. The rules and pressures of the Turkish state agency RTÜK (Radio and Television Supreme Council) and the executives of traditional television channels have caused a tendency toward digital platforms in the audience. This article focuses on the Netflix series Ethos (Turkish title: Bir Başkadır), which aired in 2020. Within the framework of the concepts of nostalgia and cinematic mapping, the article aims to analyze Ethos’ political plane, references, characters, and also the social class/identity and lifestyles that the series gives voice to. While analyzing the hybrid narrative of the series, this paper attempts to reveal the cinematic mapping along with the characters, spatial representations, and values ​​that express them and will discuss how the concept of nostalgia works and functions as a tool providing such mapping. In this context, we read Ethos as a call for confrontation for the new cognitive map, especially at a time when the desire of people to coexist has been seriously damaged due to polarization between them as a result of the government strategies and belligerent policies of the last two decades. The series employs a nostalgic gaze through a hybrid narrative to construct the vanishing present.

description: We consider the single field chaotic m^2ϕ^2 inflationary model with a period of preheating, where the inflaton decays to another scalar field χ in the parametric resonance regime. In a recent work, one of us has shown that the χ modes circulating in the loops during preheating notably modify the correlation function. We first rederive this result using a different gauge condition hence reconfirm that superhorizon ζ modes are affected by the loops in preheating. Further, we examine how χ loops give rise to non-gaussianity and affect the tensor perturbations. For that, all cubic and some higher order interactions involving two χ fields are determined and their contribution to the non-gaussianity parameter f_{NL} and the tensor power spectrum are calculated at one loop. Our estimates for these corrections show that while a large amount of non-gaussianity can be produced during reheating, the tensor power spectrum receive moderate corrections. We observe that the loop quantum effects increase with more χ fields circulating in the loops indicating that the perturbation theory might be broken down. These findings demonstrate that the loop corrections during reheating are significant and they must be taken into account for precision inflationary cosmology.

description: Using ab initio band structure and model calculations we studied magnetic properties of one of the Mn$_4$ molecular magnets (Mn4(hmp)6), where two types of the Mn ions exist: Mn3+ and Mn2+. The direct calculation of the exchange constants in the GGA+U approximation shows that in contrast to a common belief the strongest exchange coupling is not between two Mn3+ ions (J_{bb}), but along two out of four exchange paths connecting Mn3+ and Mn2+ ions (J_{wb}). The microscopic analysis performed within the perturbation theory allowed to establish the mechanism for this largest ferromagnetic exchange constant. The charge ordering of the Mn ions results in the situation when the energy of the excited state in the exchange process is defined not by the large on-site Coulomb repulsion U, but by much smaller energy V, which stabilizes the charge ordered state. Together with strong Hund's rule coupling and specific orbital order this leads to a large ferromagnetic exchange interaction for two out of four Mn2+ --Mn3+ pairs.

description: Im Zentrum der Studie steht die Frage, was in Deutschschweizer Lehrpersonenbildungskreisen in den 1970er Jahren unter Pädagogik als Disziplin oder als Unterrichtsfach für angehende Volksschullehrpersonen verstanden wurde. Um diese Frage zu vertiefen, wurde ein bildungshistorischer, diskursanalytischer Weg gewählt. Im Brennpunkt der Arbeit lag insbesondere der LEMO-Bericht (Müller 1975) und damit enger oder lose verknüpfte Publikationen, Tagungen und Akteur:innenkreise. Die These, wonach der Diskurs um eine lehrpersonenbildungsrelevante Pädagogik in den untersuchten Jahren in Relation zu spezifischen Wissenspraktiken, Denkstilen und normativen Orientierungen als eine lehrpersonenbildungseigene, Transformationen unterliegende Pädagogisierung, als eine persistente Vorstellung von Pädagogik gesehen werden muss, konnte bestätigt werden. → für Zitate siehe Literaturverzeichnis im Dokument

description: Brazil is well-known for its consolidated television industry that produces and exports telenovelas since the 1970s. However, a new phenomenon took place in the country in 2015: free-to-air television network Band started to air Turkish TV dramas. Fatmagul, the second Turkish drama broadcast by Band, achieved considerably high audience ratings and engaged audiences online. In this work, I rely on discussions about melodrama and transnational media flows to investigate Brazilian viewers' perceptions of Fatmagul. More specifically, my research questions are 1. how is this foreign narrative related to the context of Brazilian audiences' daily lives? and 2. what differences and similarities do Brazilian audiences see between Turkish and Brazilian productions regarding the narrative content? To gather data on the audience profile and general preferences, I shared an online questionnaire on groups about Fatmagul on Facebook. Among the respondents, I selected five female viewers from varied backgrounds and conducted in-depth interviews. The results point out that viewers relate to the melodramatic structure and moral of Fatmagul, especially concerning the emphasis on romance and the protagonist overcoming obstacles. Results also suggest that viewers reject more realistic narratives presented by Brazilian telenovelas, which they consider too sexualized and not family-oriented.

description: To fight against infectious diseases (e.g., SARS, COVID-19, Ebola, etc.), government agencies, technology companies and health institutes have launched various contact tracing approaches to identify and notify the people exposed to infection sources. However, existing tracing approaches can lead to severe privacy and security concerns, thereby preventing their secure and widespread use among communities. To tackle these problems, this paper proposes CoAvoid, a decentralized, privacy-preserved contact tracing system that features good dependability and usability. CoAvoid leverages the Google/Apple Exposure Notification (GAEN) API to achieve decent device compatibility and operating efficiency. It utilizes GPS along with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to dependably verify user information. In addition, to enhance privacy protection, CoAvoid applies fuzzification and obfuscation measures to shelter sensitive data, making both servers and users agnostic to information of both low and high-risk populations. The evaluation demonstrates good efficacy and security of CoAvoid. Compared with four state-of-art contact tracing applications, CoAvoid can reduce upload data by at least 90% and simultaneously resist wormhole and replay attacks in various scenarios.

description: Neutralino can be the dark matter candidate in the gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking models if the conformal sequestered mechanism is assumed in the hidden sector. In this paper, we study this mechanism by using the current experimental results after the run I of LHC and LUX. By adding new Yukawa couplings between the messenger fields and Higgs fields, we find that this mechanism can predict a neutralino dark matter with correct relic density and a Higgs boson with mass around 125 GeV. All our survived points have some common features. Firstly, the Higgs sector falls into the decoupling limit. So the properties of the light Higgs boson are similar to the predictions of the Standard Model one. Secondly, the correct EWSB hints a relatively small $μ$-term, which makes the lightest neutralino lighter than the lightest stau. So a bino-higgsino dark matter with correct relic density can be achieved. And the relatively small $μ$-term results in a small fine-tuning. Finally, this bino-higgsino dark matter can pass all current bounds, including both spin-independent and spin-dependent direct searches. The spin-independent cross section of our points can be examined by further experiments.

description: The European Innovation Partnership for Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability (EIP-AGRI) is part of the support for agricultural economic development. EIP-AGRI operational groups are groups of people who are working together on an innovation project funded by Rural Development Programs (RDP). Their essence is to transform innovative ideas into real solutions. The coordination of the formation process of operational groups has been entrusted to agricultural advisory units, especially to innovation brokers working there. The aim of the study was to determine the role of the innovation broker in the formation of EIP-AGRI operational groups. Mechanisms of innovation support in the agricultural sector were presented, paying particular attention to the tasks of the National Network for Innovation in Agriculture and Rural Areas (NRN) and the Measure “Cooperation” implemented under RDP 2014-2020. The “e-Networking” operation implemented by the Pomeranian Agricultural Advisory Centre in Lubań (PODR) in 2020-2021 was analysed and a survey study was conducted using an original survey questionnaire prepared on the Webankieta platform. The conducted survey shows that the role of an innovation broker is, first of all, to support entities interested in cooperation in obtaining funds for innovative activities, prepare project proposals and documents related to the functioning of the EPI operational group and identify entities willing to undertake cooperation as well as to assist in its establishment.
Social Class, TV Series and Resistance: the Reception of Turkish Dramas by Greeks

Publisher: name: Series - International Journal of TV Serial Narratives
Year: 2023

description: Turkey has a leading role on the international media scene as far as the export of serial dramas is concerned. Turkish soap operas represent the preoccupations of poor persons and their (mis)adventures following their encounter with wealthy people. They thus combine the representation of the lifestyle of the wealthy classes with messages that, at the same time, criticize it and validate the lifestyle of the working-classes. Since the economic crisis, Greece is among the countries that systematically import Turkish soap operas. Through this article, the author analyzes how Greek audiences negotiate the power relations imposed on them by the capitalist system through the viewing of Turkish television soap operas. This research has revealed that the resistance of meaning receivers toward the hegemonic system is not always opposed to the media text. The results presented in this article are based on an ethnography of Greek audiences of Turkish soap operas as well as on an analysis of the representations of social classes projected through Turkish soap operas.

Year: 2023

description: In dieser Arbeit werden die Chancen und Herausforderungen für den Export von Arzneimitteln nach China und Japan verglichen, um zu prüfen welcher Markt für Slowenien attraktiver ist und worauf es seine Exportförderungsbemühungen konzentrieren sollte. Die Studie verwendet den zweistufigen Ansatz von Papadopoulos et al. (2002), der erweitert wurde, um die Besonderheiten der pharmazeutischen Industrie zu berücksichtigen. Die Analyse, die in zwei Dimensionen – Nachfragepotenzial und Handelshemmnisse – abgeschlossen wurde, ergab, dass Japan zwar der kleinere Markt ist, aber mehr Möglichkeiten und weniger Herausforderungen bietet, wenn es um den Export von Arzneimitteln geht. Obwohl Japan der kleinere Markt ist, stellt China immer noch einen sehr großen Markt dar und könnte daher eine Chance für diejenigen Unternehmen sein, die über Ressourcen verfügen und in der Lage sind, ihre Bemühungen auf einen anspruchsvolleren Markt zu konzentrieren. Die Untersuchung bietet eine zukünftige Orientierung für die Internationalisierung der slowenischen Wirtschaft und ihr Wachstum in der Pharmaindustrie.
description: This thesis compares the opportunities and challenges for exporting pharmaceuticals to China and Japan, with the aim of determining which market is more attractive for Slovenia to focus its export promotion efforts on. The study utilizes the Two-Stage approach by Papadopoulos et al. (2002), which was extended to reflect the specifics of the pharmaceuticals industry. The analysis, concluded in two dimensions – demand potential and trade barriers – showed that while Japan is the smaller market, it represents more opportunities and less challenges when it comes to exporting pharmaceuticals. Although Japan is the smaller market, China still represents a very large market and could thus be an opportunity for those companies which have resources and are able to focus their efforts on a more demanding market. The research provides a future orientation for the internationalization of the Slovenian economy and its growth in the pharmaceutical industry.
The Origin of the Relation Between Stellar Angular Momentum and Stellar Mass in Nearby Disk-dominated galaxies

description: The IllustrisTNG simulations reproduce the observed scaling relation between stellar specific angular momentum (sAM) $j_{\rm s}$ and mass $M_{\rm s}$ of central galaxies. We show that the local $j_{\rm s}$-$M_{\rm s}$ relation ${\rm log}\ j_{\rm s} = 0.55 \ {\rm log}\ M_{\rm s} + 2.77$ develops at $z\lesssim 1$ in disk-dominated galaxies. We provide a simple model that describes well such a connection between halos and galaxies. The index 0.55 of the $j_{\rm s}$-$M_{\rm s}$ relation comes from the product of the indices of the $j_{\rm tot}\propto M_{\rm tot}^{0.81}$, $M_{\rm tot}\propto M_{\rm s}^{0.67}$, and $j_{\rm s}\propto j_{\rm tot}$ relations, where $j_{\rm tot}$ and $M_{\rm tot}$ are overall sAM and mass of a halo. A non-negligible deviation from the tidal torque theory, which predicts $j_{\rm tot}\propto M_{\rm tot}^{2/3}$, should be included. This model further suggests that the stellar-to-halo mass ratio of disk galaxies increases monotonically following a nearly power-law function that is consistent with the latest dynamical measurements. Biased collapse, in which galaxies form from the inner and lower sAM portion of their parent halos, has a minor effect at low redshifts. The retention factor of angular momentum reaches $\sim 1$ in disk galaxies with strong rotations, and it correlates inversely with the mass fraction of the spheroidal component, which partially explains the morphological dependence of the $j_{\rm s}$-$M_{\rm s}$ relation.

Esculturas africanas de Chile: lecturas de un patrimonio nacional en el escenario de la diferencia cultural
Creators: name: Carmona Jiménez, Javiera Antonia
Publisher: name: Comparative Cultural Studies - European and Latin American Perspectives
Year: 2018

description: Since 1930 the Chilean sculptural heritage has a set of African sculptures that belonged to the avant-garde poet Vicente Huidobro. The foundational temporality of this heritage is examined, understood as the contexts of initial collection of the pieces within the framework of the European avant-gardes, the acquisition by the Chilean State and the first exhibition of the pieces by the National Museum of Fine Arts of Chile. The revision of this first temporality links the work and ideology of Huidobro with his sculptures and with the construction of knowledge and ideas about the cultural difference affirmed and expressed by state museums attuned to the legacy of European colonialism in Latin America and the emancipatory artistic and political movements, critical of Eurocentrism of the elites. This stage of the patrimonialization process of the African sculptures that finally became Chilean sculptural heritage, reveals the state museums as legitimate agents of the symbolic dispute for the construction of patrimonial sense around the cultural diversity. This challenge of the museums is relevant in the current Chilean context of the XXI century of intensification of the migratory flows that confront the Chilean society with itself before “the black”, “the afro”, “the other”.

description: This paper proposes a novel lightweight thumbnail container-based summarization (LTC-SUM) framework for full feature-length videos. This framework generates a personalized keyshot summary for concurrent users by using the computational resource of the end-user device. State-of-the-art methods that acquire and process entire video data to generate video summaries are highly computationally intensive. In this regard, the proposed LTC-SUM method uses lightweight thumbnails to handle the complex process of detecting events. This significantly reduces computational complexity and improves communication and storage efficiency by resolving computational and privacy bottlenecks in resource-constrained end-user devices. These improvements were achieved by designing a lightweight 2D CNN model to extract features from thumbnails, which helped select and retrieve only a handful of specific segments. Extensive quantitative experiments on a set of full 18 feature-length videos (approximately 32.9 h in duration) showed that the proposed method is significantly computationally efficient than state-of-the-art methods on the same end-user device configurations. Joint qualitative assessments of the results of 56 participants showed that participants gave higher ratings to the summaries generated using the proposed method. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt in designing a fully client-driven personalized keyshot video summarization framework using thumbnail containers for feature-length videos.

description: In this paper, we set the new limits on the equation of state parameter (EoS) of dark energy with the observations of cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) from Planck satellite, the type Ia supernovae from Pan-STARRS and the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO). We consider two parametrization forms of EoS: a constant $w$ and time evolving $w(a)=w_0+w_a(1-a)$. The results show that with a constant EoS, $w=-1.141\pm{0.075}$ ($68\%~C.L.$), which is consistent with $Λ$CDM at about $2σ$ confidence level. For a time evolving $w(a)$ model, we get $w_0=-1.09^{+0.16}_{-0.18}$ ($1σ~C.L.$), $w_a=-0.34^{+0.87}_{-0.51}$ ($1σ~C.L.$), and in this case $Λ$CDM can be comparable with our observational data at $1σ$ confidence level. In order to do the parametrization independent analysis, additionally we adopt the so called principal component analysis (PCA) method, in which we divide redshift range into several bins and assume $w$ as a constant in each redshift bin (bin-w). In such bin-w scenario, we find that for most of the bins cosmological constant can be comparable with the data, however, there exists few bins which give $w$ deviating from $Λ$CDM at more than $2σ$ confidence level, which shows a weak hint for the time evolving behavior of dark energy. To further confirm this hint, we need more data with higher precision.

description: Transatlantic slavery as a process has been stereotyped in many bibliographies emphasizing plantation slavery. However, urban slavery and its characteristics are always overlapping “under the city’s comfort” that the owners could offer. In the Havana Historic Center, this view has a great impact on the history, culture and development of a city close to its 500th anniversary. However, the optimal visualization and socialization of the subject with its just historical treatment has been a debt for the management of heritage in terms of the slave theme. The architectural potentialities, popular traditions and other expressing that exist in Old Havana, has its genesis in the period of slavery in Cba. However, repeated discourses polarize only African-based religious practices as the most transcendental legacy of Africans to Havana and Cuban culture. To approach the historical elements related to urban slavery, to Africans and descendants as active subjects in the formation of a transculturated society; it confirms how cultural resistance was the most effective weapon from black people. This article systematically links the contributions made by previous investigations regarding urban slavery and as a contribution the sites related to this trend that persist as witnesses in an old and rich city stand out.

description: The ability to acquire information about the environment through social observation or instruction is an essential form of learning in humans and other animals. Here, we assessed the ability of rats to acquire an association between a light stimulus and the presentation of a reward that is either hidden (sucrose solution) or visible (food pellet) via observation of a trained demonstrator. Subsequent training of observers on the light-reward association indicated that while observation alone was not sufficient for observers to acquire the association, contact with the reward location was higher in observers that were paired with a demonstrator. However, this was only true when the light cue predicted a sucrose reward. Additionally, we found that in the visible reward condition, levels of demonstrator orienting and food cup contact during the observation period tended to be positively correlated with the corresponding behaviour of their observer. This relationship was only seen during later sessions of observer training. Together, these results suggest that while our models were not sufficient to induce associative learning through observation alone, demonstrator behaviour during observation did influence how their paired observer's behavioural response to the cue evolved over the course of direct individual training.

description: We present the state-of-the-art lattice QCD calculation of the pion and kaon light-cone distribution amplitudes (DAs) using large-momentum effective theory. The calculation is done at three lattice spacings $a\approx\{0.06,0.09,0.12\}$ fm and physical pion and kaon masses, with the meson momenta $P_z = \{1.29,1.72,2.15\}$ GeV. The result is non-perturbatively renormalized in a recently proposed hybrid scheme with self renormalization, and extrapolated to the continuum as well as the infinite momentum limit. We find a significant deviation of the pion and kaon DAs from the asymptotic form, and a large $SU(3)$ flavor breaking effect in the kaon DA.

description: We give a review of some group-theoretical results related to non-relativistic holography. Our main playgrounds are the Schrödinger equation and the Schrödinger algebra. We first recall the interpretation of non-relativistic holography as equivalence between representations of the Schrödinger algebra describing bulk fields and boundary fields. One important result is the explicit construction of the boundary-to-bulk operators in the framework of representation theory, and that these operators and the bulk-to-boundary operators are intertwining operators. Further, we recall the fact that there is a hierarchy of equations on the boundary, invariant w.r.t. Schrödinger algebra. We also review the explicit construction of an analogous hierarchy of invariant equations in the bulk, and that the two hierarchies are equivalent via the bulk-to-boundary intertwining operators. The derivation of these hierarchies uses a mechanism introduced first for semi-simple Lie groups and adapted to the non-semisimple Schrödinger algebra. These requires development of the representation theory of the Schrödinger algebra which is reviewed in some detail. We also recall the $q$-deformation of the Schrödinger algebra. Finally, the realization of the Schrödinger algebra via difference operators is reviewed.

description: The South Nicholson National Drilling Initiative (NDI) Carrara 1 stratigraphic drill hole was completed in late 2020, as a collaboration between Geoscience Australia, the Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS), and the MinEx CRC. The drilling aimed to gather new subsurface data on the potential mineral and energy resources in the newly identified Carrara Sub-basin. NDI Carrara 1 is located in the eastern Northern Territory, on the western flanks of the Carrara Sub-basin on the South Nicholson Seismic line, reaching a total depth of 1751 m, intersecting ca. 630 m of Cambrian Georgina Basin overlying ca. 1100 m of Proterozoic carbonates, black shales and minor siliciclastics (https://portal.ga.gov.au/bhcr/minerals/648482). Following a public data release of the borehole completion report, CSIRO was contracted by Geoscience Australia (GA) under the Exploring for the Future program to analyse samples from NDI Carrara 1 for quantitative bulk and clay fraction analysis. This report presents results for quantitative bulk and clay (<2 µm) fraction analysis by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) on 32 bulk core samples from the NDI Carrara 1. Samples were prepared and analysed at the CSIRO’s Waite Laboratories in South Australia.
Potencialidad de la inclusión del arte en el ámbito comunitario como herramienta de transformación social en Argentina

description: This article is about experiences that exist in Argentina in the community area and that we think as part of a scientific field called Art and Transformation field. It is composed by different experiences made by different organizations and organisms, that as a way to achieve social transformation, include art in the community work because they think it´s inclusion has great potential. They work with new conceptions about art, where it is considered at the same time as a way and a gold (not only an instrument to achieve other objectives). They work with different artistic languages (music, circus, visual arts, drama, dance, among others) and, in general, in precarious contexts. It´s a field that is not very studied, but there are some works about it that we will take in consideration in this article. That´s why the objective of this work would be to conceptualize and describe the art and transformation field and some of the characteristics of the work that the experiences that compose the field use. We will take contributions from different disciplines in which we based our investigation: social and cultural anthropology, community psychology, communication, popular education, among others.

Procesos interculturales y decolonialidad. En memoria de Leyda Oquendo “una trayectoria por el derecho humano al conocimiento de la verdad histórica”...

description: Starting from the idea – expressed by Claude Lévi-Strauss and Tzvetan Todorov – that cultures do not evolve if it is not through contacts and that intercultural is constitutive of culture, the paper analyzes the specificity of intercultural relations after the Renaissance and the European expansion in the world, marked by colonialism, which coincided with the development of a modern capitalist system and the ideology of the race. The second part of the paper analyzes the development of post-colonial studies, which focused the critical analysis of colonial discourse and the valorisation of the struggles of the dominated populations in the process of decolonization. In Latin America, in the last few years, de-colonial thought has defined the colonization of being, together with the colonization of power and knowledge, opening the way to a radical critique of Eurocentrism and its identification abusive with the universal. All the work of Leyda Oquendo that this special issue of Comparative Cultural Studies, remembers ten years after his death, was oriented in that direction.

description: Existing methods for the localization of light at the nanoscale use either a structure with negative permittivity, by exploiting subwavelength plasmonic resonances, or a dielectric structure with a high refractive index, which reduces the wavelength. In this paper, we provide an alternative to these two methods based on a modification of the modes of dielectric resonators by means of an active medium. We show that an active medium can promote subwavelength light localization in the dielectric structure. We consider a dielectric layer of size substantially smaller than a half-wavelength of light in the dielectric medium, and demonstrate that at a certain value of gain in the active medium, the phase change on reflection at the layer boundaries compensates for the change in phase due to propagation over the layer. At this value of the gain, the gain-assisted mode forms, in which the phase shift during a round trip of the electromagnetic wave is zero. This gain-assisted mode exists only at a positive gain in the dielectric medium, and can be used to create dielectric lasers and sensors of subwavelength size.

description: The aim of this paper was to determine the scope of non-tariff measures used in the world agri-food trade in 2020. This study used data of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the Global Trade Alert (GTA) data. Applying the methodology developed by the UNCTAD and the World Trade Organization (WTO) three indexes were established to describe the use of non-tariff measures (NTMs) to trade, i.e., the Frequency Index, the Coverage Ratio and the Prevalence Ratio. The number of trade preferences and trade restrictions used by the largest exporters and importers of agrifood products was also measured. The analysis showed that the scope of use of non-tariff protection measures in world trade in agri-food products is much greater compared to other branches of the economy. In countries implementing a highly protectionist trade policy, such as Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Canada, the USA and Vietnam, non-tariff instruments were used in relation to all tariff lines and the entire value of import. To the greatest extent, non-tariff protection measures were adopted in the trade of non-processed plant origin products, including cereals, oilseeds and oleaginous fruit, fruit and vegetables, as well as dairy products. Countries most commonly implementing trade restrictions against their partners and, at the same time, at greatest risk of retaliatory actions on their part included EU countries, the USA and China.
Electronic and Geometric Structure of Copper Single-Metal Sites in Zeolites by Hyperfine Spectroscopy and Quantum Chemical Modelling

description: A Thesis submitted to the Universities of Leipzig and Turin in candidature for a Joint PhD degree by Paolo Cleto Bruzzese Abstract
 Atomically dispersed transition metal ions in zeolites catalyse a wide range of
 industrial reactions and are at the centre of intense research interest to design
 new sustainable synthetic pathways for energy conversion and environment remediation.
 One of the big challenges in this context is the characterization and
 location of the active sites. Indeed, mapping their nature with atomic-scale
 precision occupies a central place in the theory and practice of heterogeneous
 catalysis.
 In this thesis, the site-selectivity and sensitivity of Electron Paramagnetic
 Resonance (EPR) with its pulsed variants are combined with quantum chemical
 modelling to determine the microscopic structure of monomeric CuII species in
 zeolites with Chabazite (CHA) topology as a function of the hydration conditions
 and sample composition. By isotopic labelling of the zeolite framework
 with 17O and employing 17O ENDOR spectroscopy, the degree of covalency in
 the Cu-O bond is mapped and the evolution of CuII sites as a function of the
 hydration conditions is followed. By combining 1H HYSCORE experiments with
 state-of-the-art quantum chemical modelling, the EPR signature of the redox active
 hydroxo-CuII species is univocally identified and a quantitative assessment
 of its electronic and geometric structureis provided as a function of zeolite composition.
