description: This study attempts to analyze the market preference of coffee farmers in Vietnam. Using the transaction cost approach, a seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) model was developed based on the sales volume in different markets, transaction cost attributes, socioeconomic factors, and behavioral aspects of sustainable certified coffee farmers. Factors that significantly influence farmers’ market preference include several transaction cost attributes (price uncertainty, market competition, transportation cost, speed of payment, and sale volume agreement) and characteristics of coffee farmers (age, ethnic, farming experience, location, and certificate ownership). Repeated economic transaction embedded in the social relationship indicates the largest sales volume of coffee farmers to the market of buying agents and the existence of local traders. There is a belief that formal institution brings better market access for coffee farmers, but main issues are regarding opportunistic behavior, imperfect market knowledge, traditional farming habits, and contract noncompliance, which have resulted in a lower preference for the market of processors/exporters.

description: In an effort to address persistent consumer privacy concerns, policy makers and the data industry seem to have found common grounds in proposals that aim at making online privacy more "transparent." Such self-regulatory approaches rely on, among other things, providing more and better information to users of Internet services about how their data is used. However, we illustrate in a series of experiments that even simple privacy notices do not consistently impact disclosure behavior, and may in fact be used to nudge individuals to disclose variable amounts of personal information. In a first experiment, we demonstrate that the impact of privacy notices on disclosure is sensitive to relative judgments, even when the objective risks of disclosure actually stay constant. In a second experiment, we show that the impact of privacy notices on disclosure can be muted by introducing simple misdirections that do not alter the objective risk of disclosure. These findings cast doubts on the likelihood of initiatives predicated around notices and transparency to address, by themselves, online privacy concerns.

Figs 2, 4
Materials.
Numerous footprints studied in the field (more than 140 footprints) and one specimen sampled (IFMI -681).
Revised diagnosis.
Gruipeda preserved as tridactyl or tetradactyl footprints, commonly with a footprint length smaller than 50 mm, and a length / width ratio of 0.7–0.9. Bipedal trackways displaying a zero to inward rotation with relation to the midline, pace angulation ranging from 150 ° to 182 °, and a stride length from 2.5 to 5 times the footprint length. Footprints slightly asymmetrical, typically with the angle between digits II-III larger than those of digits III-IV, and a large divarication of digits II-IV in the range 90 ° – 135 °. Relative digit length is I <II <IV <III. Hallux impression present in almost half of the footprints with a posterior to posteromedial position. Occasional rhomboid to rounded sole.
Description.
Small tetradactyl footprints well to poorly preserved as convex hyporeliefs on the lower bedding plane of medium- to thick-bedded, dark brown to brown, fine-grained sandstone layers. In the well-preserved footprints, all digit imprints are visible, and digit I is smallest, has slightly inward rotation and is not along the longitudinal axis of the footprints. Digit II and IV imprints have the same size but are not symmetrical around the longitudinal axis of footprint. Digit III imprint is the longest, straight, or slightly curved and is more bulged. Usually, all digit imprints are connected with each other proximally by the metatarsal pad imprint. In other imprints, digit I-II-III-IV imprints are preserved as not connected imprints without metatarsal imprints. Footprints have outward orientation on the trackway axis. Some trackways show higher relief digit III imprints with indistinct lateral digit imprints. Three to four digital pad imprints are visible in several footprints, and usually the tip of the digits is sharp.
Discussion.
The studied small bird footprints were preserved with different quality, and in the well-preserved setting they are attributable to Gruipeda dominguensis. These footprints are smaller than Gruipeda becassi and differ from Charadriipeda minima by its smaller digit I imprint and orientation of digit II and III imprints.

title: Income and Wealth Distributions in a Population of Heterogeneous Agents

Subjects: subject: 330

description: This paper develops a simple framework to characterize the distribution of income and wealth in a real business cycle model. Agents are of two types depending on the human factor of production they own and they are located in separated markets, cities. In each city the two types of agent match to produce a composite factor, human service. We show that if the population is an exchangeable sequence of agents' types generated according to a Pòlya urn then (i) the share of agents' type follows a Beta distribution and (ii) the functional form of the matching function belongs to the family of the constant elasticity of substitution, with agent shares that depend on the composition of the population. We nest this structure into a standard Bewley economy, in which the aggregate supply of human service is combined with physical capital to produce the homogeneous output. Given the results (i)-(ii) we perform the exact aggregation of income, consumption and asset holding across agents, leading to the solution of the real business cycle model with heterogeneous agents. Our framework predicts that the theoretical distributions of income and wealth are known real valued transformations of a Beta distribution. This result provides a simple way to characterize the equilibrium of macroeconomic models with heterogeneous agents.

Lophiopus rapidus Ellenberger, 1980.
Revised diagnosis.
Footprint of small perissodactyls, imprints belong to three-toed foot that shows a longer middle digit, which supports the entire pedal sole on the ground. The footprint is small. The lateral digit II and IV imprints are symmetrical to each other, and are set farther back from the middle digit III. These digit imprints end distally in sharp tips. The trackway is narrow, which denotes a much faster and lighter mode of locomotion (translated and adapted by Abbassi et al. in press).
Discussion.
Ellenberger (1980) introduced Lophiopus from the Eocene of France for tridactyl footprints with symmetrical lateral digits. Lophiopus latus is the most similar to Plagiolophustipus, and Santamaria et al. (1989–1990) distinguish Plagiolophustipus from Lophiopus by a little larger and its thick lateral digits. The report of Lophiopus from the Eocene of Alborz Mountain of north Iran lacked adequate figures and description (Davoodi et al. 2016) and that report needs further investigation (Abbassi et al. in press). Lophiopus of Deh Nar is the second record of Lophiopus from the Tethyan realm.

description: Interruptions have complex effects on individual productivity. They can alleviate fatigue and distress, but also interfere with a person's focus and attention. In recent years, a number of strategies have been adopted by organizations and individuals to curtail the potential negative effects of encroaching digital interruptions. We investigate how the use of such strategies (specifically, a digital app that curtails certain digital interruptions) affects individuals' performance in a randomized field experiment. We leverage the economic incentives of online workers on a crowd-sourcing platform, capturing their performance across a variety of tasks. We measure the impact of two alternative treatments relative to a control group: i) an exogenous treatment, in which the app is instrumented to block access for fixed periods of time to selected online services (some popular social media sites); ii) an endogenous treatment, in which participants determine whether to and to what extent use the app to block access to online services. In the exogenous condition, curtailing access to certain online services significantly increased individuals' performance: participants completed about 35% more tasks (per hour), resulting in an increase in earnings per hour of about 26%. We find evidence of heterogeneous effects of the treatment: the performance improvement due to the app is lower for heavy social media users; those same participants were more likely to experience an increase in feelings of frustrations and technological anxiety during the study, associated with the imposed blockage of social media sites. In the endogenous condition, only about 36% of participants used the app for a meaningful amount of time. As such, while, on average, that group did not experience a significant change in performance, we find evidence of a positive effect on participants who did use the app, increasing in the number of minutes of app usage.

Fig. 7 A – C
Material.
One specimen, collected (IFMI -684).
Description.
One tridactyl footprint preserved as convex hyporelief in the lower bedding plane of the fine-grained, dark-brown sandstone. This bedding plane comprises flute and groove casts. The surface of the footprint is not smooth, and erosional structures encompass the footprint. One of the lateral digits shows three digital pad imprints, and digit III and the other lateral digit imprint are thick and lacking digital pad. The tips of the digits are sharp, the proximal rim of the footprint is curved and the sole imprint is not developed.
Discussion.
Ellenberger, 1980 considered two ichnospecies for Lophiopus, L. lalus and L. rapidus. L. lalus has a marked “ heel mark ” and an elongate digit III, whereas L. rapidus is wider, and its lateral or central digits are more rounded along the tips. No digital pads were mentioned for ichnospecies of Lophiopus. The studied footprints of the Deh Nar area show similar morphology to Lophiopus in their round proximal outline, undeveloped sole imprint and distinct lateral digit imprints.

description: Improved health and quality of life have increased life expectancy, accelerating global demographic aging. Any nation in the twenty-first century should be concerned about this issue. This shift impacts how organizations see their employees and the labor market world. It is necessary to retain older employees since they hold most of the organization's knowledge, which must be transferred and managed by younger generations. The present study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis inherent to assessing the concepts of aging and human resource management practices for knowledge management using the Scopus database and the Bibliometrix R software. The Scopus database has been used to gather information on the annual scientific production, the type of sources published, the nation of publishing, the collaboration between countries, the most cited countries, and the most relevant authors and journals. Bibliometric analysis was used in this study to identify and define the scientific production concerning the work's subject. The following search terms were used: "KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT" AND "HRM" AND "AGING" AND "PRACTICES,” using the Scopus database, restricting the search criteria to publications in final publication on the disciplines of Business, Management, and Accounting, published between 2001 and 2022. In recent years, there has been an increasing trend in scientific production on the topic addressed, peaking in 2021 but continuing since 2018, demonstrating that this theme has been discussed widely and has an importance and impact on the scientific community.

Moropopus elongatus Abbassi, Alinasiri & Lucas, 2017.
Emended diagnosis.
Medium-sized tridactyl footprints with elongated oval to ellipsoidal to fusiform digit imprints. Two digital pads may be present in lateral digits. Digit imprints connect to metatarsus by a narrower proximal imprint. Lateral digits (digit II and IV) are smaller than the middle digit (digit III) and are curved toward the front. Digit III imprint is wider in the front. Digit III tip is completely curved, and the tips of lateral digits may curve or end in elongate sharp tips, like the claw imprints. Metatarsus imprints include two metatarsal pads with a complete rounded back, or with two lobes.
Discussion.
The narrow proximal part of digit imprints is a distinctive feature of Moropopus, which distinguishes it from the other tridactyl ichnogenera of perissodactyls. The presence of sharp tips on the lateral digits of the pes imprint of the Deh Nar footprints caused an emended diagnosis of Moropopus and introduced a second ichnospecies of Moropopus.
In Asia, mammal tridactyl ungulate footprints have been reported from Early Tertiary of China (Lockley et al. 1999), Oligoene of India (Rajkumar and Klein 2014) and Eocene-Oligocene of Iran (Abbassi et al. 2015, 2017). Oligoene tridactyl footprints of India strongly resemble those described from China (Rajkumar and Klein 2014) and differ from Iran’s Oligocene tridactyl footprints in morphology and size. Demathieu et al. (1984) reported Ronzotherichnus with short digit imprints not connected to the metatarsus imprint and thus differing from Moropopus. Usually, tridactyl footprints in perissodactyls show round outlines in the distal part of digits, however some ichnogenera of tridactyls have sharp tips in the lateral digits, such as Plagiolophustipus Santamaria et al. (1989–1990). Moropopus differs from Plagiolophustipus by its narrow digit III imprint.

One footprint sampled (IFMI -685) and two footprints of a trackway studied in the field.
Emended diagnosis.
Tridactyl footprints with elongated digit imprints. Digit imprints are proximally narrower and distally ellipsoidal and inflated. Digit tips are completely curved without claw imprints. Metatarsus imprints include two metatarsal pads with a complete rounded back.
Description.
Tridactyl footprints preserved as convex hyporeliefs in lower bedding plane of the fine-grained sandstones. Sampled footprint (Fig. 7 D – F, IFMI - 685) includes circular digit imprints, lateral digits are fat with one digit pad, and middle digit (III) is incomplete. All digits connected by narrower imprint to metatarsal / metapodial imprint. The metatarsal / metapodial imprint is oval with three proximal lobes. The unsampled two footprints belong to one trackway, preserved as convex hyporelief in a lower bedding plane of thick-bedded, dark brown sandstone. This bedding plane has abundant mud crack casts that interact with the footprints. These footprints comprise one to two fat circular digital pads, which connect by narrower imprints to metatarsal / metapodial imprints. The tips of the digits are round. The proximal parts of the metatarsal / metapodial imprints are round.
Discussion.
Moropopus was established as monotypy from the Late Eocene of Iran (Abbassi et al. 2017), and by discovery of new Moropopus from Oligocene of Central Iran, with new morphological features, we prefer to establish a new ichnospecies for Moropopus and emended the diagnosis of Moropopus elongatus.

description: An often-cited benefit of river restoration is an increase in biodiversity or shift in composition to more desirable taxa. Yet, hard manipulations of habitat structure often fail to elicit a significant response in terms of biodiversity patterns. In contrast to conventional wis- dom, the dispersal of organisms may have as large an influence on biodiversity patterns as environmental conditions. This influence of dispersal may be particularly influential in river networks that are linear branching, or dendritic, and thus constrain most dispersal to the river corridor. As such, some locations in river networks, such as isolated headwaters, are expected to respond less to environmental factors and less by dispersal than more well-connected down- stream reaches. We applied this metacommunity framework to study how restoration drives biodiversity patterns in river networks. By comparing assemblage structure in headwater vs. more well-connected mainstem sites, we learned that headwater restoration efforts supported higher biodiversity and exhibited more stable ecological communities compared with adjacent, unrestored reaches. Such differences were not evident in mainstem reaches. Consistent with theory and mounting empirical evidence, we attribute this finding to a relatively higher influ- ence of dispersal-driven factors on assemblage structure in more well-connected, higher order reaches. An implication of this work is that, if biodiversity is to be a goal of restoration activity, such local manipulations of habitat should elicit a more profound response in small, isolated streams than in larger downstream reaches. These results offer another significant finding supporting the notion that restoration activity cannot proceed in isolation of larger-scale, catchment-level degradation.

Fig. 8
Materials.
Two footprints of one trackway, sampled (IFMI -686 / 1-2).
Holotype.
specimen IFMI -686.
Etymology.
kashanensis refers to Kashan city where the traces were found.
Type-locality.
Iran, Esfahan (= Isfahan) province, Kashan township, west Ab Shirin, northwest Deh Nar, 34 ° 19 ' N, 51 ° 12 ' E.
Type horizon.
lower Oligocene (Rupelian).
Diagnosis.
Moropopus with tridactyl footprint in pes and manus imprints. Pes has elongated digit imprints; digit III is larger than the lateral digits II and IV. Tips of digits are completely round. The manus imprint has a digit III that is longer than the lateral digits. The tip of digit III is round, but lateral digits end with a distally sharp claw-like imprint.
Description.
The smaller posterior footprint is considered as a pes imprint and it includes two digit imprints and one of the lateral digit and most parts of the metapodial imprints are omitted by weathering. Digits include one pedal circular imprint with round tips, and connect by a narrower imprint to the metapodial imprint. The anterior larger imprint is the manus imprint and it is distinguished by the sharp tip of the lateral digit imprints and it seems that the middle digit imprint has a round tip. The metacarpal imprint is circular, with a round proximal outline.
Discussion.
The general morphology of Moropopus with elongated distally swollen digit imprints is traceable in these footprints, but the distinctive feature is the sharp tips of lateral digits. Usually, perissodactyls have round distal outlines in hooves, and there are no records of sharp tips. The skeletal remains of pes and manus of perissodactyls anatomically comprise distally round phalanges (ungula) with or without medial fissure and covered by fat digital pads or round unguals. Instead, the unguals of artiodactyls usually have sharp tips.
Moropopus kashanensis however shows strongly sharp tips in lateral digits of the manus imprint. No secondary deformations such as drag marks or combination with non-biogenic structures were included in the detailed analysis of the tips of Moropopus kashanensis. Thus, we believe these footprints are a new ichnospecies of Moropopus.

description: Fractons are topological quasiparticles with limited mobility. While there exist a variety of models hosting these excitations, typical fracton systems require rather complicated many-particle interactions. Here, we discuss fracton behavior in the more common physical setting of classical kagome spin models with frustrated two-body interactions only. We investigate systems with different types of elementary spin degrees of freedom (three-state Potts, XY, and Heisenberg spins) which all exhibit characteristic subsystem symmetries and fractonlike excitations. The mobility constraints of isolated fractons and bound fracton pairs in the three-state Potts model are, however, strikingly different compared to the known type-I or type-II fracton models. One may still explain these properties in terms of type-I fracton behavior and construct an effective low-energy tensor gauge theory when considering the system as a two-dimensional cut of a three-dimensional cubic lattice model. Our extensive classical Monte Carlo simulations further indicate a crossover into a low-temperature glassy phase where the system gets trapped in metastable fracton states. Moving on to XY spins, we find that in addition to fractons the system hosts fractional vortex excitations. As a result of the restricted mobility of both types of defects, our classical Monte Carlo simulations do not indicate a Kosterlitz-Thouless transition but again show a crossover into a glassy low-temperature regime. Finally, the energy barriers associated with fractons vanish in the case of Heisenberg spins, such that defect states may continuously decay into a ground state. These decays, however, exhibit a power-law relaxation behavior which leads to slow equilibration dynamics at low temperatures.

description: By 30 June 2021, EU Member States were expected to transpose the recast Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) which includes provisions for renewable energy communities (RECs) and to develop an enabling framework to promote the development of RECs. Although there is a growing number of studies analysing the emergence of various forms of community energy, comparative studies investigating the transposition and creation of enabling frameworks for RECs in a multi-level governance (MLG) perspective are scarce. This article examines the transposition in Germany and Italy and compares elements of the respective enabling frameworks. Key methods include context and MLG analysis combined with methods of descriptive (legal) studies. Insights and participatory observations of the stakeholder desks established in the Horizon2020 project COME RES complement the spectrum of methods deployed. Although community energy development is more advanced in Germany, the transposition of the RED II provisions has been slow and piecemeal so far. Conversely, in Italy, RED II played a catalyst role; the transposition has been rather dynamic and encouraged a continuous growth of REC initiatives. Nevertheless, a widespread uptake of RECs requires structural adjustments of the governance system in both countries and attention to MLG as well as vertical policy coordination.

description: The Roborovski dwarf hamster Phodopus roborovskii belongs to the Phodopus genus, one of the seven within Cricetinae subfamily. Like other rodents such as mice, rats, or ferrets, hamsters can be important animal models for a range of diseases. Whereas the Syrian hamster from the genus Mesocricetus is now widely used as a model for mild-to-moderate coronavirus disease 2019, Roborovski dwarf hamster shows a severe-to-lethal course of disease upon infection with the novel human coronavirus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.

Type ichnospecies.
Platykopus ilycalcator Sarjeant, Reynolds and Kissell-Jones (2002).
Diagnosis.
Large plantigrade footprints with digits close to manual / pedal pad. Manus width is similar to that of the pes, with the pes being slightly narrower and elongated due to a metatarsal pad. Five digits on manus and pes are clawed, and digits II – V are of equal length on a quadratic manus with digit I offset. Digits I – V form a symmetrical arc around the pes, with digits I and V being shorter than II and IV.
Discussion.
Sarjeant et al. (2002) introduced Platykopus from Late Miocene of Nevada for large plantigrade footprints with digits close to manual / pedial pad and compared its tracks to those of creodonts and amphycyonids. Recently, Platykopus has been identified by ichnologists for medium to large, pentadactyl plantigrade footprints with an undeveloped metatarsus imprint in manus. Abbassi (2010) attributed footprints that are semiplantigrade with five short digits with distinct digit V from the Miocene of Iran to Platykopus, and he reported Platykopus from the Oligocene of the Eastern Mountains of Iran (Abbassi et al. 2015). Botfalvai et al. (2023) re-examined large pentadactyl footprints from the Miocene Ipolytarnóc of Hungary by 3 D methods and concluded that footprints previously defined as Bestiopeda maxima should be reclassified under the Platykopus ichnogenus as Platykopus maxima. Platykopus differs from Zanclonychopus Sarjeant and Langston (1994) by larger width and shorter digit imprints.

description: The infection of horses with strongylid nematodes is highly prevalent, with multi-species infections being the rule. Strongylus spp. and in particular Strongylus vulgaris are amongst the most pathogenic strongyle equine parasites. Presumably due to regular strategic anthelmintic treatments in combination with long prepatencies, prevalence of these worms was severely reduced in past decades. In this study, 484 horses from 48 farms in Berlin/Brandenburg, Germany were sampled between May 2017 and January 2018. Mini-FLOTAC and combined sedimentation/flotation were used to analyse faecal samples and larval cultures were carried out from individual strongyle infected horses for molecular testing for Strongylus spp. infection. Additionally, for Strongylus vulgaris, antibodies against a recombinant larval antigen were quantified in an ELISA. Strongyle type eggs were detected in 66.7% of the individual faecal samples. Nematode DNA was amplifiable from 311 samples and S. vulgaris and Strongylus edentatus were detected in four (1.3%) and 10 (6.3%) of these, respectively, the latter using a novel high-resolution-melt PCR targeting S. edentatus, Strongylus equinus, and Strongylus asini. On the farm level, prevalence for Strongylus spp. by PCR was 12.5%. Applying a conservative cut-off (sensitivity 0.43, specificity 0.96), 21.2% of all serum samples were positive for antibodies against S. vulgaris larvae (83.3% prevalence on farm level). Newly developed pyrosequencing assays to analyse putatively benzimidazole resistance associated polymorphisms in codons 167, 198, and 200 of the isotype 1 β-tubulin gene of S. vulgaris did not detect such polymorphisms in the four positive samples. Low age and increasing access to pasture were risk factors for egg shedding and seropositivity for S. vulgaris. Time since last treatment increased whereas use of moxidectin and ivermectin for the last treatment decreased the risk for strongyle egg shedding. Noteworthy, horses under selective treatment had significantly higher odds to be seropositive for anti-S. vulgaris antibodies than horses treated four times per year (odds ratio 4.4). The serological findings suggest that exposure to S. vulgaris is considerably higher than expected from direct diagnostic approaches. One potential explanation is the contamination of the environment by a few infected horses, leading to the infection of many horses with larvae that never reach maturity due to regular anthelmintic treatments.

description: Purpose of Review: To provide a summary of the recent and expected developments related to the treatment of axial spondyloarthritis. Recent Findings: An increasing number of interleukin-17 blocking agents show efficacy in axial spondyloarthritis including both non-radiographic and radiographic forms. Janus kinase inhibitors showed promising results in phase II studies in radiographic axial spondyloarthritis and have, therefore, a potential to become a therapeutic option in this indication in the future. Inhibition of structural damage progression in axial spondyloarthritis seems to be possible in the case of effective and early anti-inflammatory treatment, although there are still open questions related to particular drug classes. Summary: Despite major advances in the field and growing therapeutic options, there are still many open questions related to the optimized treatment strategies and to the individual choice of a drug in axial spondyloarthritis.
