description: Integration processes in Europe resulted in intensification of migration flows. Immigrants account now for a large share of population in many European countries. A point of view that immigrants take jobs form natives is quite widespread. The European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia published a special analysis of the attitudes towards minorities in EU countries Eurobarometer 2000. They found that one in two EU citizens worry about competing with immigrants for the same vacancies and afraid of losing their jobs because of presence of foreign workers. Different measures and institutions which protect native workers have nevertheless an ambiguous effect. On the one hand labor protective institutions such as minimal wage, replacement rate or firing restrictions will protect existing workers and reduce a firing rate. On the other hand, firms will take into consideration these additional costs of firing and will be less likely to employ new workers. At the same time, it is argued that immigrants are probably less likely to be covered by these institutions. These facts imply that protective institutions cover mostly natives and therefore make immigration labor force comparatively less costly. Labor market protection may therefore amplify a negative effect of immigrants on native employment if it exists. This paper attempts to evaluate the effect of immigration in flow on employment level of natives and reveal whether this effect changes in different institutional environments using EU-countries data. In addition to static specification it uses a dynamic specification to draw conclusions about long-term and short-term effects separately. The results show no long-run effect of immigration inflow. Short-term effect of is found to be positive. Protective labor market institutions fulfill their function of protecting existing workers. The results are also different for men and women.

description: The fabrication flexibility of 3D printing has sparked a lot of interest in designing structures with spatially graded material properties. In this paper, we propose a new type of density graded structure that is particularly designed for 3D printing systems based on filament extrusion. In order to ensure high-quality fabrication results, extrusion-based 3D printing requires not only that the structures are self-supporting, but also that extrusion toolpaths are continuous and free of self-overlap. The structure proposed in this paper, called CrossFill, complies with these requirements. In particular, CrossFill is a self-supporting foam structure, for which each layer is fabricated by a single, continuous and overlap-free path of material extrusion. Our method for generating CrossFill is based on a space-filling surface that employs spatially varying subdivision levels. Dithering of the subdivision levels is performed to accurately reproduce a prescribed density distribution. We demonstrate the effectiveness of CrossFill on a number of experimental tests and applications.

description: Prior to provisioning sensor data to smart contracts, a pre-processing of the data on intermediate off-chain nodes is often necessary. When doing so, originally constructed cryptographic signatures cannot be verified on-chain anymore. This exposes an opportunity for undetected manipulation and presents a problem for applications in the Internet of Things where trustworthy sensor data is required on-chain. In this paper, we propose trustworthy pre-processing as enabler for end-to-end sensor data integrity in data on-chaining workflows. We define requirements for trustworthy pre-processing, present a model and common workflow for data on-chaining, select off-chain computation utilizing Zero-knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) and Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) as promising solution approaches, and discuss both our proof-of-concept implementations and initial experimental, comparative evaluation results. The importance of trustworthy pre-processing and principle solution approaches are presented, addressing the major problem of end-to-end sensor data integrity in blockchain-based IoT applications.

description: The present study aims at the investigating of investment safety from the position of threat analysis. The main conclusion of the paper is the proposed algorithm of investment safety ranking assessment which is free of subjectivity, flexible to threat analysis, potential investment security analyses, open to periodization technique. Using the author's ranking system (“authors skating system”) proposed to determine for each object firstly the assessment on the level of each statistical factor, and then - at the level of IS components (investment potential, investment activity, investment risks considered from the threat position). Periodization technique by means of cluster analyses proves the necessity to consider homogenous intervals during the investment security analysis especially while first stage of listing potential indicators. The conducted research can be useful in practice for policy makers, potential investors, analytical agencies, security analysts.

Pilot study

description: Abstract: Background: Approximately 40% of cancers could be prevented if people lived healthier lifestyles. We have developed a theory-based brief intervention to share personalised cancer risk information and promote behaviour change within primary care. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and acceptability of incorporating this intervention into primary care consultations. Method: Patients eligible for an NHS Health Check or annual chronic disease review at five general practices were invited to participate in a non-randomised pilot study. In addition to the NHS Health Check or chronic disease review, those receiving the intervention were provided with their estimated risk of developing the most common preventable cancers alongside tailored behaviour change advice. Patients completed online questionnaires at baseline, immediately post-consultation and at 3-month follow-up. Consultations were audio/video recorded. Patients (n = 12) and healthcare professionals (HCPs) (n = 7) participated in post-intervention qualitative interviews that were analysed using thematic analysis. Results: 62 patients took part. Thirty-four attended for an NHS Health Check plus the intervention; 7 for a standard NHS Health Check; 16 for a chronic disease review plus the intervention; and 5 for a standard chronic disease review. The mean time for delivery of the intervention was 9.6 min (SD 3) within NHS Health Checks and 9 min (SD 4) within chronic disease reviews. Fidelity of delivery of the intervention was high. Data from the questionnaires demonstrates potential improvements in health-related behaviours following the intervention. Patients receiving the intervention found the cancer risk information and lifestyle advice understandable, useful and motivating. HCPs felt that the intervention fitted well within NHS Health Checks and facilitated conversations around behaviour change. Integrating the intervention within chronic disease reviews was more challenging. Conclusions: Incorporating a risk-based intervention to promote behaviour change for cancer prevention into primary care consultations is feasible and acceptable to both patients and HCPs. A randomised trial is now needed to assess the effect on health behaviours. When designing that trial, and other prevention activities within primary care, it is necessary to consider challenges around patient recruitment, the HCP contact time needed for delivery of interventions, and how best to integrate discussions about disease risk within routine care.

description: This paper empirically investigates the effects of 2008 financial crisis on exchange rate determination in PPP-UIP framework for four emerging countries, using monthly date over the period 1981-2012. The results suggest that the recent financial crisis led to change the role of exchange rate determinants in exchange rate determination. The findings also reveal that the effects of financial crisis on the exchange rate are different in all the four emerging economies. The findings of the study are of significant for policy makers in designing effective policies in order to reduce the effects of financial crisis on exchange rates.

description: Quantities in Statistics: Absolute, Relative, Average – Their Application in Comparing Populations

Statistical quantities are essential tools for analyzing and comparing data across populations. Absolute quantities refer to raw counts, such as the number of disease cases or deaths. They show the magnitude of a phenomenon but do not account for population size. Relative quantities, such as rates and percentages, standardize data to allow fair comparisons between populations of different sizes or time periods—for example, mortality rate per 1,000 people. Average quantities, including mean, median, and mode, summarize data to reflect central tendencies like average income or average BMI. Together, these measures provide a comprehensive view of population health, behavior, and trends, supporting better planning, policy-making, and resource allocation.

description: This study assessed the profitability of fertilizer use by farmers in rural Malawi using a two-wave nationally representative panel data. We find that fertilizer use is generally unprofitable at prevailing market conditions when farmers are assumed to be risk averse. In order for fertilizer use to be profitable on average, the nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) – the kilograms of maize obtained from a kilogram of nitrogen – would have to increase by 136%, 141% and by 50% if maize output is valued at farm gate price, harvest season market price and lean season market price respectively; or fertilizer ought to be subsidized at a rate of at least 72.43%, 71.67% and 41.34% respectively. Although fertilizer subsidy improves the profitability of fertilizer by increasing the maize-nitrogen price ratio, we find that at all rates of subsidy, unless farmers can store their produce and sell during the lean season where output price is relatively higher, they would be at least MK 66.16 and MK 61.81 per kg of subsidized nitrogen better off with the cash equivalent of the subsidy than with subsidized fertilizer when maize is values at farm gate price and harvest season market price respectively. We also find that the government recommended rates of fertilizer application is too high to be profitable at prevailing market conditions, but profitability at this rate of fertilizer application is over 100% higher than profitability at actual rate of application.
Symmetry Enforced Dirac Points in Antiferromagnetic Semiconductors

description: It is shown that the symmetry enforced Dirac points exist at some time reversal symmetric momenta in antiferroemgnetic compound GdB$_4$. These Dirac points may be controlled by the external magnetic field or by the deformation of the crystal. Application of the external magnetic field leads to splitting of these points into Weyl points or to opening of a gap depending on the field direction. The application of the symmetry breaking deformation also opens a gap in the spectrum. Suppression of the antiferromagnetic order leads to the formation of the nodal line instead of the Dirac points. This indicates that the symmetry enforced Dirac semimetals may be effectively used in different spintronic devices.

description: Sub-Saharan Africa is currently in the midst of an unprecedented wave of urbanization that is expected to have wide-ranging implications for food and nutrition security. Though this spatial transformation of the population is increasingly put forward as one of the main drivers of changes in food consumption patterns, empirical evidence remains scarce and the comparative descriptive design of existing research is prone to selection bias as urban residence is far from random. Based upon unique longitudinal data from the Tanzania National Panel Survey and the Kagera Health and Development Survey, this study will be the first to assess the impact of urbanization on food consumption through comparing individuals’ food consumption patterns before and after they have migrated from rural to urban areas. We find that even after controlling for individual fixed heterogeneity, baseline observable characteristics and initial household fixed effects, urbanization is significantly associated with important changes in dietary patterns, including a shift away from traditional staples towards more processed and ready-to-eat foods. While there is some evidence of changes that can be deemed beneficial from a nutritional point of view - including increased consumption of vegetables and animal source foods - the results also largely confirm concerns about the association between urbanization and heightened consumption of sugar and fats. In addition, we find no support for the hypothesis that urbanization is associated with more diverse diets. Finally, the results clearly indicate that rural-urban migration significantly contributes to reducing volatility in food consumption.

description: We present SpM, a sparse modeling tool for the analytic continuation of imaginary-time Green's function, licensed under GNU General Public License version 3. In quantum Monte Carlo simulation, dynamic physical quantities such as single-particle and magnetic excitation spectra can be obtained by applying analytic continuation to imaginary-time data. However, analytic continuation is an ill-conditioned inverse problem and thus sensitive to noise and statistical errors. SpM provides stable analytic continuation against noise by means of a modern regularization technique, which automatically selects bases that contain relevant information unaffected by noise. This paper details the use of this program and shows some applications.

description: In this paper, we present an algorithm for online 3D reconstruction of dynamic scenes using individual times of arrival (ToA) of photons recorded by single-photon detector arrays. One of the main challenges in 3D imaging using single-photon Lidar is the integration time required to build ToA histograms and reconstruct reliable 3D profiles in the presence of non-negligible ambient illumination. This long integration time also prevents the analysis of rapid dynamic scenes using existing techniques. We propose a new method which does not rely on the construction of ToA histograms but allows, for the first time, individual detection events to be processed online, in a parallel manner in different pixels, while accounting for the intrinsic spatiotemporal structure of dynamic scenes. Adopting a Bayesian approach, a Bayesian model is constructed to capture the dynamics of the 3D profile and an approximate inference scheme based on assumed density filtering is proposed, yielding a fast and robust reconstruction algorithm able to process efficiently thousands to millions of frames, as usually recorded using single-photon detectors. The performance of the proposed method, able to process hundreds of frames per second, is assessed using a series of experiments conducted with static and dynamic 3D scenes and the results obtained pave the way to a new family of real-time 3D reconstruction solutions.

description: We reexamine constraints on the spatial size of closed toroidal models with cold dark matter and the cosmological constant from cosmic microwave background. We carry out Bayesian analyses using the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) data properly taking into account the statistically anisotropic correlation, i.e., off-diagonal elements in the covariance. We find that the COBE constraint becomes more stringent in comparison with that using only the angular power spectrum, if the likelihood is marginalized over the orientation of the observer. For some limited choices of orientations, the fit to the COBE data is considerably better than that of the infinite counterpart. The best-fit matter normalization is increased because of large-angle suppression in the power and the global anisotropy of the temperature fluctuations. We also study several deformed closed toroidal models in which the fundamental cell is described by a rectangular box. In contrast to the cubic models, the large-angle power can be enhanced in comparison with the infinite counterparts if the cell is sufficiently squashed in a certain direction. It turns out that constraints on some slightly deformed models are less stringent. We comment on how these results affect our understanding of the global topology of our universe.

description: We present the results of CO(1-0) and CO(4-3) observations of the host galaxy of a long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB080207 at z = 2.0858 by using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array. The host is detected in CO(1-0) and CO(4-3), becoming the first case for a GRB host with more than two CO transitions detected combined with CO(2-1) and CO(3-2) in the literature. Adopting a metallicity-dependent CO-to-H2 conversion factor, we derive a molecular gas mass of Mgas = 8.7 x 10^10 Modot, which places the host in a sequence of normal star-forming galaxies in a Mgas-star-formation rate (SFR) plane. A modified blackbody fit to the far-infrared--millimeter photometry results in a dust temperature of 37 K and a dust mass of Mdust = 1.5 x 10^8 Modot. The spatially-resolving CO(4-3) observations allow us to examine the kinematics of the host. The CO velocity field shows a clear rotation and is reproduced by a rotation-dominated disk model with a rotation velocity of 350 km/s and a half-light radius of 2.4 kpc. The CO spectral line energy distribution derived from the four CO transitions is similar to that of starburst galaxies, suggesting a high excitation condition. Comparison of molecular gas properties between the host and normal (main-sequence) galaxies at similar redshifts shows that they share common properties such as gas mass fraction, gas depletion timescale, gas-to-dust ratio, location in the Mgas-SFR (or surface density) relation, and kinematics, suggesting that long-duration GRBs can occur in normal star-forming environments at z ~ 2.

description: Thermostabilization of vaccines can significantly simplify vaccine storage and distribution processes, eliminating the need for cold-chain maintenance, and resulting in global access to life-saving vaccines. Despite this benefit, all approved vaccines for use by the Food and Drug Administration must be refrigerated for long term storage in order to guarantee potency. The first study described in this thesis demonstrated that formulation of live adenovirus in the novel thin film matrix protects the virus from degradation at 4°C and 20°C for a minimum of three months, as well as 14 days at 37°C and 5 days at 40°C. The film matrix protected virus through 16 freeze-thaw cycles as well. As formulations prepared with surfactant outperformed those without it, the second study was designed to characterize and evaluate the intermolecular interactions between the surfactant and adenovirus capsids. in order to better understand the surfactants contribution to stability. The data suggested that surfactant stabilizes adenovirus by preventing aggregation of capsids via electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. Additionally, the other formulation components in our multi-component preparation mitigates the interactions between adenovirus and the surfactant without interfering with stability. Lastly, the principles of surfactant stabilization were applied to the identification of alternative excipients for stabilization of a virus with different properties from adenovirus, H1N1 influenza. The third study evaluated the ability of the thin film platform to induce an immune response and the impact of a natural adjuvants on the cytokine response and bioavailability of the vaccine dose. A preliminary screen demonstrated that vaccination with the thin film platform resulted in a stronger humoral response following mucosal vaccination than with traditional intramuscular vaccination. Additionally, the optimized formulation improved bioavailability of the viral dose across human buccal explants. Further characterization of the immune response also revealed that sublingual routes induced a strong TH1 polarized immune response which resulted in greater protective efficacy than intramuscular immunization. Taken together, these studies identified a novel thin film platform capable of stabilizing adenovirus at ambient temperatures, provide key insights into viral stabilization in the novel thin film platform, and illustrate the utility of the thin film as mucosal vaccine dosage form.

description: Identifying directed interactions between species from time series of their population densities has many uses in ecology. This key statistical task is equivalent to causal time series inference, which connects to the Granger causality (GC) concept: $x$ causes $y$ if $x$ improves the prediction of $y$ in a dynamic model. However, the entangled nature of nonlinear ecological systems has led to question the appropriateness of Granger causality, especially in its classical linear Multivariate AutoRegressive (MAR) model form. Convergent-cross mapping (CCM), a nonparametric method developed for deterministic dynamical systems, has been suggested as an alternative. Here, we show that linear GC and CCM are able to uncover interactions with surprisingly similar performance, for predator-prey cycles, 2-species deterministic (chaotic) or stochastic competition, as well as 10- and 20-species interaction networks. There is no correspondence between the degree of nonlinearity of the dynamics and which method performs best. Our results therefore imply that Granger causality, even in its linear MAR($p$) formulation, is a valid method for inferring interactions in nonlinear ecological networks; using GC or CCM (or both) can instead be decided based on the aims and specifics of the analysis.

description: The work by Soares et al. [Phys. Rev. B 65, 174506 (2002)] investigates the BCS-BE crossover for d-wave pairing in the 2-dimensional attractive Hubbard model. Contrary to their claims, we found that a non-pairing region does not exist in the density vs coupling phase diagram. The gap parameter at T=0, as obtained by solving analytically as well as numerically the BCS equations, is in fact finite for any non-zero density and coupling, even in the weak-coupling regime.
