description: The drawbacks and deficiencies of the Italian fiscal system have become such and so many that a structural revision is urgent both concerning legislation and the organisation of the tax system. The first aim of a reform must be to make the system clear and simple. Secondly, the progressiveness of the system must be announced. Third, the fiscal system should become an instrument of economic planning. The paper puts forward a reform proposal and draws a set of priorities for the reorganisation of fiscal structures and jurisdictions in Italy. JEL: E62, H21, H30

description: Ninety-six cultivars of tomato were evaluated for natural vims infestation of the tomato yellow leaf cut virus (TYLCV) in two regions of the Dominican Republic. These same cultivars were inoculated with TYLCV early in die growing season and field tests were conducted using plants produced under a shade-bouse. The cultural practices used in the field were similar to those used by the farmers. Data was collected on final yield, infestation rates, percentage of soluble sugars, and presence of the virus using hybridization of nucleic acids. The results suggest that using plants that were protected from the virus infestation can leads to yields of 43.3 t/ha. The majority of the cultivars used for commercial production (canning) aie susceptible lo this disease. However, some cultivars that are used mainly for salads showed a high level of resistance. The best materials were DRS-RH1, DRS-RH2, TY 8479, Gem Star, and PT 1095. The uses of early varieties with good production potential Mem to be an important factor in obtaining an acceptable yield.
Applying Alexander Technique in the high school choral rehearsal
Creators: name: Parent, Karen Augusta
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Developing healthy and coordinated vocal technique in adolescent singers is central to choral pedagogy. A singer's instrument is her body, and researchers of vocal pedagogy have increasingly explored the whole system's coordinated use in singing through bodymind awareness approaches such as Alexander Technique (AT). The purpose of my research was to examine the application of Alexander Technique in a high school choral setting to understand how a process of AT lessons in choral rehearsal may benefit students' vocal skills. Specifically, I investigated students' experiences of posture, breathing, and tone production through this process. I also explored, how students' understanding of Alexander Technique principles evolved over the study period. I employed an instrumental case study method to explore the vocal experiences of students in my senior concert choir for eight rehearsals over a period of six weeks. All 58 students participated in approximately twenty minutes of Alexander Technique instruction at the beginning of each rehearsal during the study period. Eight student respondents wrote weekly journals and four of these respondents participated in semistructured individual interviews at beginning, mid, and end points of the study. I wrote observational notes on each rehearsal and on videotaped rehearsals at the beginning and end of the study. Categorical and descriptive analysis of the data formed the basis of a chronological narrative of the findings for the choir and for two students. Through the process of Alexander Technique lessons in choral rehearsals students reported increased kinesthetic awareness and direction in their head-neck-back relationship, which allowed for a release of straining tensions in their jaw, neck, back, and abdominal areas, increased their breath capacity, and facilitated greater ease in sound production, also increasing their sensations of tonal resonance. Students' experience of benefits seemed to correspond with their level of application and understanding of Alexander principles over the six-week study. Benefits to the choir's posture and sound were most consistently evident in vocal warm-ups. Implications for choral teaching include increasing the recall of kinesthetic awareness during rehearsals and applying Alexander principles throughout the year. Cultivation of student attention to their singing habits through reflective journaling and a choral teacher's development of her own kinesthetic awareness of self-use are also suggested.

L'influenza del comportamento del pubblico sulla creazione di liquidità. (The influence of the public’s behaviour on liquidity creation)

subject: E03, E51, E52, G02

description: While liquid funds in the hands of public and private operators cannot be created except by the credit system and the treasury, it is not equally easy to grasp how the public’s behaviour may effect the amount of liquid resources in existence. The credit system can influence public’s capacity to hold financial assets through loans. However, it cannot decide at its discretion the volume of financial assets held by the public. On the contrary, in several ways, e.g. through convertibility, the public can make its influence felt on monetary reserves, and as a consequence on the nominal volume of financial assets. Thus, if the first priority of economic policy is assigned to the maintenance of monetary stability, the monetary authorities have few margins to regulate at their discretion the trend of liquid assets at the market’s disposal.

description: The work analyses issue of the importation of foreign labour, considering many aspects that have yet to receive close inspection. The inquiry is concerned solely with the effect of immigration on the economic position of the native population, or native labour force, of the country concerned. The author concludes that the native labour force, or the bulk of it, may, for a certain period, be benefitted, and not harmed, by certain forms of immigration, including those which have prevailed during the last decade or so in some Western European countries. Over the longer run, however, the effect will normally become disadvantageous to the native labour force. Therefore, traditional views as to who benefits from foreign labour for the short and medium run must be modified. JEL: E24, J15, J31

Effetti distributivi del processo inflazionistico in Italia nel decennio 1953-1962 (Effects of inflation on the distribution of income in Italy, 1953-1962)

Subjects: subject: Price level, Italy, inflation, income distribution, real purchasing power
subject: E24, E31, O15

description: In the ten years 1953-62, the average price level in Italy rose every year, with the exception of 1959. The present article examines the effects of this inflationary process on income distribution. To do so the author first determines the extent to which each productive sector contributed to the creation of the total surplus of money product over real product, and how such excess was distributed amongst the various income categories in each sector. Then, the losses in real purchasing power these categories suffered are examined. Finally, the net outcome between gains in money product and losses for each category is found. According to the author, the data suggests peculiarly Ricardian features: the increase in prices was largely due to a rise in rents and of sectoral incomes in which are hidden some forms of rent, in the twofold aspect of privileged positions and inefficiency.

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam
subject: Nile River Basin
subject: Ethnic conflicts Settlement Mechanisms

description: In the past few years, the Nile River Basin has been subject to a rapid increase in the implementation of new water projects as the Nile riparian States seek to improve their respective national economies, promote development and alleviate poverty. Indeed, Ethiopia has recently started the construction of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam on the Blue Nile. However, the population of the Basin is threatened by the impacts resulting from the future dam and reservoir. Furthermore, the Basin population is characterized by high ethnic diversity. Therefore, the influence of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam might induce potential ethnic conflicts among the different groups living in the Nile River Basin. The following research proposes a framework for ethnic conflicts settlement as a means to deal with the potential disputes. The framework is composed of a series of recommendations that need to be implemented as to avoid conflicts in the Basin.

description: The Armington procedure has become increasingly popular in agricultural trade analyses. However, some arguments have arisen concerning the relevance of using the procedure for agricultural trade analyses. This study examines the assumptions commonly made when using the Armington procedure. The results of this research on rice trade suggest that the Armington procedure needs some modification in modelling agricultural trade and that the assumptions of the single constant elasticity of substitution and homotheticity, in particular, may not be appropriate for analyzing agricultural trade. Further, results of a modified Armington procedure indicate that rice exports are highly competitive and that change in market shares of individual exporters are not independent of change in budget expenditure allocated to imports.

We find that the Raman spectra of these systems feature two peaks produced by van Hove singularities in moiré minibands of twistronic graphene, one related to direct hybridization of Dirac states, and the other resulting from band folding caused by moiré superlattice. The positions of both peaks strongly depend on the twist angle, so that their detection can be used for non-invasive characterization of the twist, even in hBN-encapsulated structures.

description: The members of the parainsularis group are characterized by similarities of the male genitalia, female genitalia, and pronotal structure. Externally, the forms appear to be diverse for two reasons: first, the body form of X. parainsularis is narrow while that of X. bisulcifrons is broad; second, the elytra of X. parainsularis are smooth while those of X. bisulcifrons are punctate. The result of these diversities is a superficially different appearance of the two species. Xystosomus parainsularis is similar in appearance to Tachymenis insularis (Darlington) while X. bisulcifrons is similar to a mix of gruti, inflatus, and microtretus group members. However, the male genitalia of the two species in the parainsularis group are very similar and would Venezuela (Figure 71).

Building the prospector canoe : narrative inquiry in a life of craft
Creators: name: Brown, Roderick Alexander Elliott
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The initial research questions were formulated to examine some of the root desires and discourses embedded in craft work and hand-building for the author - drawing parallels to these motivations for the broader culture as a whole. I am a teacher of Technology Education and, as such, a person expected to instill in young people an excitement and set of values in craft and handwork. What are the sources and experiences that act on the compulsion to create such items? What are the factors that act on the desire to create at all? Other questions formulated include: Is the experience of crafting a hand-made article an artistic experience? What are the cultures of communication that exist in the workshop and how do they influence identity building and motivation for the craftsperson in the shop environment? Why do canoe building and canoes hold such iconic sway over popular and Canadian culture? I chose crafts-based research (a modification of arts-based research) to address these questions because it lends itself as a set of tools to research the creative while creating— an investigation of one's own practice through that practice. The crafted article, in this ease a traditionally built, bent-cedar and canvas canoe, becomes a literal and metaphorical vessel that caries the researcher through the experience. The crafting and hand-building of the canoe and the canoe itself are expressions of the same experience, thus becoming an artistic and personally/culturally transformative event and art(ifact) piece/practice. Through journaling, extensive still photography and, most importantly, the canoe itself, the process of building and creating was documented. The research demonstrates that motivations for craft and hand-work are myriad and liminal, existing as diverse fragments of consciousness acting on the desire to build / create. I also found that this experience was fundamentally an artistic experience - one that built a new reality of social practice from snippets of inferences, ideals and icons. The findings, positioning shop work and shop culture in the realm of art making and art culture, justify this occupation and interruption of disciplinary turf. This research became an exercise of metaphorical map-making and served to reinvigorate my teaching practice in Technology / Craft Education with focus and purpose.
title: The principle of economy in the learning and teaching of mathematics
Creators: name: Hewitt, David Paul
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1994

description: This thesis looks at the learning and teaching of mathematics through the issue of economy. Here, economy is concerned with the personal time and effort given by a learner to achieve some desired learning. The study sets out to establish that the principle of economy informs the learning and teaching of mathematics, and to establish a list of principles which can assist an economic approach to the teaching of mathematics.

The study is carried out within the Discipline of Noticing and is based on the development of theory from significant events building on the work carried out by Caleb Gattegno on the subordination of teaching to learning. An account ofthese events are given, followed by accounting for them, and linking the generality contained within these isolated events with everyday learning experiences. At times, the reader is asked to carry out simple tasks which assist in drawing their attention, through a personal experience, to the points being developed.

The learning process which turns something newly met into something which can be done with little conscious attention, is analysed and called functionalisation. The analysis of this process produces the idea of practice through progress, where the learner's attention is placed in a task which requires the desired learning to be subordinated to it. Particular attention is given to the learning of young children before entering school, since this is impressive in terms of economy. This study identifies powers children use in their early learning, and how these link in with root notions in mathematics called mathematical essences. A list of principles of economy are developed which provide guide-lines for approaches to teaching to make use of children's powers and utilise mathematical essences. A computer program, GRID Algebra, is developed to demonstrate how the principles of economy can be incorporated into a resource.

description: After the presentation of the project to introduce an “interest equalisation tax” in the United States, it has recently been argued that the international market to handle bond issues should be moved to Europe. The present study argues that only by a reorganisation of the markets, a revision of certain directives now being followed in monetary and financial policy, and the introduction of new formulas for bond issues will Europe be able to fulfil the function of an international financial center. The author first touches on some structural problems of the EEC countries’ capital markets. Subsequently, an examination is made of the conditions necessary for establishing closer link between the European markets. Finally, the techniques recently developed for issuing international loans are examined and the means for furthering the evolution now in progress are indicated. JEL: F30, F36, G15

description: The present article provides a critical review of J. Aschheim’s Techniques of Monetary Control (Baltimore, 1961). This work is primarily concerned with the problem of monetary “technique”, defined as that of making the best use of “proximate” instrument variables given some more or less definite set of objectives in terms of the “ultimate” instrument variables. According to the author, discussions of technique frequently imply acceptance of a particular monetary theory, that is an implicit assumption that “technical” efficiency in monetary control is both a necessary and a sufficient condition for overall “economic” efficiency. However, it is argued that this is correct only if the implied monetary theory is quantitatively and qualitatively adequate. The author concludes that, although Aschheim’s study is clear, informative and thoughtfully stimulating, it does not constitute a convincing defence of monetary “orthodoxy”. JEL: E40, E51, E52

subject: Kenya

description: Sustainable and equitable water allocation is among the key principles of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). However, developing a water allocation plan for the Tana basin, one of the most important river basins in Kenya, is all but a simple task for stakeholders and policy-makers. In fact, the increasing pressure on surface and groundwater resources and the numerous drivers of change such as population growth, climate change and new infrastructures like dams and irrigation schemes, pose a huge challenge to the allocation of water. In 2009, the Water Resources Management Authority (WRMA), which is the only governmental institution entitled to regulate water resources in the country, developed a strategy to ensure the conservation and protection of the basin as well as to guarantee the participation of the stakeholders in water resources management and governance. However, the objectives set are only partially met due to the lack of appropriate data, financial and human resources as well as institutional capacity. For this reason, WRMA, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the relevant stakeholders are currently reviewing and improving this strategy in order to provide concrete and feasible solutions to the challenges posed by the Tana River basin. Among others, priority should be given to enhancing cooperation among the stakeholders, to empowering the Water Resources Users Associations (WRUAs), to developing sub-catchment management plans and pilot areas for water allocation along with setting the reserve quantity in order to meet the basic environmental and human needs. This thesis investigates the challenges of the Tana catchment area and the key mechanisms and principles of water allocation. It further analyzes the catchment management strategy that was developed in 2009 to regulate water resources in the Tana basin and highlights its strengths and weaknesses. Based on scientific evidence and socio-political considerations, this thesis provides recommendations for the review of the Tana Catchment Area Management Strategy. In particular, the aim is to provide stakeholders and policy-makers with feasible solutions and new ideas to ensure equitable water allocation planning among users and regions as well as providing sustainable water resources management.

 The Sailfoil blade consists of a framework of a leading edge D spar and a rigid trailing edge spar over which is stretched a fabric sock, forming a wing-like surface. The aerodynamic performance theories of HAWTs are described, as is the aerodynamic, structural and mechanical design of a 4 metre diameter, 3 bladed HAWT with Sailfoil blades.

 A wind turbine test facility was designed and developed for free air testing of wind turbines and is described.

 Free air tests were carried out on the Sailfoil wind turbine on the test facility to obtain power coefficient versus tip speed ratio curves and power versus wind speed curves for the wind turbine. These are presented and compared to predicted values.

description: We consider a free charged particle interacting with an electromagnetic bath at zero temperature. The dipole approximation is used to treat the bath wavelengths larger than the width of the particle wave packet. The effect of these wavelengths is described then by a linear Hamiltonian whose form is analogous to phenomenological Hamiltonians previously adopted to describe the free particle-bath interaction. We study how the time dependence of decoherence evolution is related with initial particle-bath correlations. We show that decoherence is related to the time dependent dressing of the particle. Moreover because decoherence induced by the T=0 bath is very rapid, we make some considerations on the conditions under which interference may be experimentally observed.

description: In recent years monetary authorities have shown an increased willingness to operate in the forward exchange market as a means of influencing the international flow of short-term funds in desired directions and as a substitute for or supplement to interest-rate changes or other instruments of policy. Recent forward exchange policy provides examples of a number of techniques undertaken in differing circumstances and with differing underlying objectives in mind. However, although the theoretical literature on forward exchange policy continues to grow, almost no attempt has yet been made to assemble and analyse the growing body of information available on the official forward operations of the past five years. The present article employs the available information in order to make a comparative survey of official intervention in the forward market since the restoration of convertibility. JEL: E52, F31

description: Η σύνθεση του ανθρώπινου γάλακτος και συγκεκριμένα των IgA αντισωμάτων είναι δυναμική και μπορεί να ποικίλλει μεταξύ πολλών μητρικών παραγόντων και χαρακτηριστικών του νεογνού που επηρεάζουν το ανοσοποιητικό τους σύστημα. Στην παρούσα μελέτη, μελετήθηκαν δείγματα από 54 θηλάζουσες μητέρες και συλλέχθηκε τόσο πρωτόγαλα όσο και μεταβατικό γάλα. Διερευνήθηκε η συσχέτιση μεταξύ των συγκεντρώσεων των IgA αντισωμάτων του μητρικού γάλακτος και ορισμένων παραγόντων, όπως τα ανθρωπομετρικά χαρακτηριστικά (ΒΜΙ, ηλικία), ο αριθμός τοκετών, τα νοσήματα (υποθυρεοειδισμός), οι επιπλοκές κύησης (θυρεοειδοπάθεια, σακχαρώδης διαβήτης κύησης), η νόσος COVID-19 και το εμβόλιο κατά αυτής. Για τον προσδιορισμό της συγκέντρωσης των IgA αντισωμάτων, χρησιμοποιήθηκε η μέθοδος ELISA τύπου sandwich. Μέσω του στατιστικού test χ2 για τους ποιοτικούς παράγοντες και της ανάλυσης διακύμανσης δύο παραγόντων χωρίς αλληλεπίδραση (ANOVA) για τους ποσοτικούς, προέκυψε ότι δεν υπάρχει στατιστικά σημαντική διαφορά μεταξύ των IgA αντισωμάτων και των προαναφερθέντων παραγόντων (p> 0,05), με εξαίρεση τον παράγοντα COVID-19, στον οποίο και βρέθηκε σημαντική θετική συσχέτιση (p=6,2E-14 <0,05). Τα ευρήματα υποδηλώνουν ότι η συγκέντρωση των IgA αντισωμάτων του μητρικού γάλακτος επηρεάζεται κυρίως από την κατάσταση της μητρικής ανοσίας, όπως αυτή που αποκτά λόγω του SARS-CoV-2, αλλά αρκετές άλλες μεταβλητές ενδέχεται να την επηρεάσουν.

description: Lattice studies of charmonium systems have indicated that in a deconfined gluonic plasma ground state charmonia survive as bound states upto temperatures \~ 2 Tc. After surveying the methodologies used in reaching these results, we examine the behavior of these systems when the bound state is in motion with respect to the heatbath frame. We find that the finite momenta charmonia show medium modifications when the medium is deconfined; in particular, a modification of the energy-momentum dispersion relation is indicated.

description: We perform a comprehensive study of Milky Way (MW) satellite galaxies to constrain the fundamental properties of dark matter (DM). This analysis fully incorporates inhomogeneities in the spatial distribution and detectability of MW satellites and marginalizes over uncertainties in the mapping between galaxies and DM halos, the properties of the MW system, and the disruption of subhalos by the MW disk. Our results are consistent with the cold, collisionless DM paradigm and yield the strongest cosmological constraints to date on particle models of warm, interacting, and fuzzy dark matter. At $95\%$ confidence, we report limits on (i) the mass of thermal relic warm DM, $m_{\rm WDM} > 6.5\ \mathrm{keV}$ (free-streaming length, $λ_{\rm{fs}} \lesssim 10\,h^{-1}\ \mathrm{kpc}$), (ii) the velocity-independent DM-proton scattering cross section, $σ_{0} < 8.8\times 10^{-29}\ \mathrm{cm}^{2}$ for a $100\ \mathrm{MeV}$ DM particle mass (DM-proton coupling, $c_p \lesssim (0.3\ \mathrm{GeV})^{-2}$), and (iii) the mass of fuzzy DM, $m_ϕ> 2.9 \times 10^{-21}\ \mathrm{eV}$ (de Broglie wavelength, $λ_{\rm{dB}} \lesssim 0.5\ \mathrm{kpc}$). These constraints are complementary to other observational and laboratory constraints on DM properties.

description: Understanding the temperature dependence of thermal boundary resistance, or Kapitza resistance, between liquid helium and sintered metal has posed a problem in low temperature physics for decades. In the ballistic regime of superfluid $^{3}$He-B, we find the Kapitza resistance can be described via scattering of thermal excitations (quasiparticles) with a macroscopic geometric area, rather than the sintered metal's microscopic area. We estimate that a quasiparticle needs on the order of 1000 collisions to successfully thermalise with the sinter. Finally, we find that the Kapitza resistance is approximately doubled with the addition of two mono-layers of solid $^{4}$He on the sinter surface, which we attribute to an extra magnetic channel of heat transfer being closed as the non-magnetic solid $^{4}$He replaces the magnetic solid $^{3}$He.

description: This paper provides a state-of-the-art assessment of an integrated database and information system for research in a university environment. It begins with a review of the innovation and diffusion of computer-based information technologies, then follows with an evaluation of three technological frontiers, and a demonstration of the importance of system integration. Implications of new information technologies are analyzed with respect to agricultural economic research. The illustrative example given is the integration of a database management system with an on-line and ongoing large-scale econometric modeling system. A broad spectrum of database management techniques are employed for a multi-commodity, multi-frequency farm commodity sector model of cotton used for ongoing forecast and interactive policy analysis.
