description: , preferences for crop insurance programs are closely linked to credit market imperfections. Understanding the credit constraints of small holder farmers and their attribute non-attendance in the preferences for crop insurance products provide better assessments of policy-relevant instruments needed to ensure participation in crop insurance policies and reduction of agricultural production risks in sub-Saharan Africa. We analyze farmers preferences for different non-indexed crop insurance alternatives using Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) data on cocoa farmers from southern Ghana, whilst recognizing the endogeneity of attribute non-attendance (ANA) of the respondents in the choice tasks, and the impact of liquidity constraints on farmers choice for the crop insurance products in the ANA framework. The results indicate that credit-constrained farmers attend more to premium and payment mode attributes of the crop insurance products, and that credit-constrained farmers tend to exhibit lower willingness to pay (WTP) estimates for the crop insurance attributes. We provide fruitful policy recommendations in the paper. Acknowledgement : The author thanks the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation for financial support for the study.

description: We investigate the polarized parton distribution functions (PDFs) and their uncertainties by using the world data on the spin asymmetry A_1. The uncertainties of the polarized PDFs are estimated by the Hessian method. The up and down valence-quark distributions are determined well. However, the antiquark distributions have large uncertainties at this stage, and it is particularly difficult to fix the gluon distribution. The χ^2 analysis produces a positively polarized gluon distribution, but even Δg(x)=0 could be allowed according to our uncertainty estimation. In comparison with the previous AAC (Asymmetry Analysis Collaboration) parameterization in 2000, accurate SLAC-E155 proton data are added to the analysis. We find that the E155 data improve the determination of the polarized PDFs, especially the polarized antiquark distributions. In addition, the gluon-distribution uncertainties are reduced due to the correlation with the antiquark distributions. We also show the global analysis results with the condition Δg(x)=0 at the initial scale, Q^2=1 GeV^2, for clarifying the error correlation effects with the gluon distribution.

description: Wolfgat Nature Reserve, experiences a severe security threat level due to violent crime as a result of its location and the social challenges facing the Cape Flats community of Mitchell’s Plain. The WNR has for a long period of time, received largely negative newspaper coverage. Mitchell’s Plain experiences immense socio-economic pressures, such as high unemployment, a flourishing gang controlled criminal economy and extremely high levels of drug abuse, which has further torn its social fabric, as a result of underdevelopment and isolation as a result of old government policies such as those of Apartheid. 190 newspaper articles published between 1994 and 2013 were analysed using, content, narrative and stakeholder analysis, to determine the nature of the coverage of Wolfgat in the news as well as the context wherein these events occurred. The lack of social control, inadequate law enforcement capacity and underdevelopment, to which the community, law enforcement and the local government are central, were found to be the underlying cause for the threat WNR experiences due to violent crime in particular. The success of an urban nature reserve such as WNR is thus highly contingent on the success of the Mitchells Plain community. It is difficult to separate the criminal threats facing the reserve and the community from the development of the area. For the criminal threat faced by the WNR to be effectively addressed, the socio-economic development needs of the community need to be met and effective crime prevention and control strategies implemented. For the conservation of WNR to be successful in overcoming the threat posed by crime, the local community needs to be mobilised to take control of the area, by enforcing social control and creating a defensible space in collaboration with the central stakeholders’ such as SAPS, the City of Cape Town and the Nature Conservation staff of WNR.

description: Genetically modified crops are the topic of a controversial debate. While some believe they have the potential to address many of the world s most challenging, interrelated problems, others mainly point to the risks, uncertainty and to some socio-economic issues. In this perspective a lot of research has been done on the agronomic and economic performance, on the effects on human health and the environmental risks and on stakeholders attitudes. Given that farmers, as actual potential producers of these crops play a crucial role in their eventual success surprisingly little attention has gone to their preferences. This paper focuses on farmers in Burkina Faso and uses two choice experiments to evaluate the preferences for two types of GM innovations: Bt cotton, which is a first generation GM crop, in which the focus is on input traits and biofortified sorghum, a second generation GM crop with a focus on output traits. Results show that farmers have a clear interest in pest resistance, and are quite satisfied with the current configuration of the Bt cotton crop. Moreover farmers are very open to the addition of micronutrients to the sorghum. This is an important finding in the context of the African Biofortified Sorghum initiative Acknowledgement :

description: We report on single crystal high mobility organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) prepared on prefabricated substrates using a "flip-crystal" approach. This method minimizes crystal handling and avoids direct processing of the crystal that may degrade the FET electrical characteristics. A chemical treatment process for the substrate ensures a reproducible device quality. With limited purification of the starting materials, hole mobilities of 10.7, 1.3, and 1.4 cm^2/Vs have been measured on rubrene, tetracene, and pentacene single crystals, respectively. Four-terminal measurements allow for the extraction of the "intrinsic" transistor channel resistance and the parasitic series contact resistances. The technique employed in this study shows potential as a general method for studying charge transport in field-accumulated carrier channels near the surface of organic single crystals.

description: This paper examines Brazilian rural establishments that perform agricultural and non-agricultural activities. The combination of these activities, in the same agricultural unit, characterizes and defines pluriactivity. In this way, this research aims to verify the effect of pluriactivity on the efficiency of rural establishments, in technical terms. In order to reach the proposed goal, the Propensity Score Matching (PSM) was used to pair the sample in two groups, treated (pluriative) and untreated (non-pluriative). After the identification of these groups, a Probit model was estimated, followed by estimation of the production stochastic frontier to obtain the technical efficiency scores. The data used refer to a special tabulation based on the micro-data of the 2006 Census of Agriculture. Among the results found, establishments that carry out exclusively agricultural activities make better use of the available resources compared to the pluriactive ones, being technically more efficient.

description: A good understanding of the scaling up process and a framework for analysing scalability is critical for informed decision making. In this paper a six step process is proposed to assess the scalability of an intervention/project. The approach was used to assess the scalability of the electronic voucher systems of Zambia and the Super Seeds Project in Zimbabwe. Estimated scalability indexes for these two projects were 77 and 85 respectively indicating the high potential for scaling up. The numerical score should not be viewed as carrying mathematical precision, because the scoring is based on subjective assessments. Through a validation process it was established that the approach is logically consistent and technically sound .The methodology also allows for a careful and methodological diagnosis of constraints to scaling-up. Key requirements to perform this analysis are a good understanding of the scaling up process in the local setting: effective participation and engagement of the key stakeholders, and external facilitator with no vested interest in the outcome. However mechanical application of the approach or superficial comparison of scalability indexes of different projects is likely to result in misleading conclusions. The model should be tested more broadly to assess its robustness and wider applicability.

description: The AMS Nest serves food for over 60,000 students each year, yet there are few studies that can be applied to estimate the Nest’s carbon footprint and target policies towards emissions reduction. This paper uses two multivariate regression models to estimate the impact of international sourcing and travel distances on the GHG emissions generated by the Nest’s food supply chain. Using a sample of 61 food products ordered by the AMS over 8 months (UBC’s winter session), we find that 1) sourcing products from outside British Columbia contributes the most to transportation emissions, and 2) consuming animal-based products contributes the most to total emissions, increasing by 6.5 tonnes of GHGs per animal-based product type. Simulating an adjusted supply chain by switching product sources to viable foodservice sources within BC reduced transportation emissions by 56%. Based on our results, we recommend new procurement policies that source products within BC in the short-term and reduce consumption of animal-based products in the long-term in order to effectively mitigate carbon emissions generated by the Nest’s supply chain.

description: The current sparse wavelength range coverage of exoplanet direct imaging observations, and the fact that models are defined using a finite wavelength range, lead both to uncertainties on effective temperature determination.We study these effects using black-bodies and atmospheric models and we detail how to infer this parameter. Through highlighting the key wavelength coverage that allows for a more accurate representation of the effective temperature, our analysis can be used to mitigate or manage extra uncertainties being added in the analysis from the models. We find that the wavelength range coverage will soon no longer be a problem. An effective temperature computed by integrating the spectroscopic observations of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will give uncertainties similar to, or better than, the current state-of-the-art, which is to fit models to data. Accurately calculating the effective temperature will help to improve current modelling approaches. Obtaining an independent and precise estimation of this crucial parameter will help the benchmarking process to identify the best practice to model exoplanet atmospheres.

It is found for these materials that the important moments of the phonon density of states can be obtained to high accuracy from short-ranged force constant models. We discuss the implications for the Grueneisen parameters on the basis of calculated phonon moments and their approximations by using bulk moduli and Debye-Waller factors.

description: Introduction: Hospitalization of children is traumatic for children and their families. Little is known about the impact of repeated acute admissions on families, or of these experiences in Indigenous populations and ethnic minorities. This study explores the societal and health experiences for families who have a child under two years of age, admitted to hospitals more than twice for lower respiratory infections. Methods: Underpinned by a reflective lifeworld research methodology, this article presents results from 14 in-depth interviews in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Results: Families learn to identify illness early and then navigate hospital systems. These families struggle to create safe spaces for their children at home or in society. Wider social and economic support are central to family resilience, without which they struggle. Conclusion: This study reinforces the importance of bringing meaningful, culturally-responsive care to the fore of treatment, particularly when managing vulnerable minorities. Formal referral and support processes are key to this responsiveness to lessen the burdens of acute admissions for families. Patient or Public Contribution: Families chose to be involved in this study to highlight the importance of the topic and their experiences with accessing health care. The cultural advisors to the project provided feedback on the analysis and its applicability for the participant community.

D i s t r i b u t i o n i n I r a n: Widespread in northern and southern Iran, probably occurring in the whole country.
 R e m a r k P. gallicus s. lat. was revised by SCHMID- EGGER et al. (2017). It is a complex of three species. The true P. gallicus is restricted in its distribution to the western Mediterranean area. P. mongolicus is widespread from the Balkans to Central Asia, southwest Asia, Iran and northeast Africa. The records of " P. gallicus " from Iran (EBRAHIMI & CARPENTER 2008) refer to P. mongolicus or P. foederatus KOHL, 1898. However, the latter species is not yet recorded from Iran. It is known from northeast Italy to Greece, Turkey and Azerbaijan (SCHMID- EGGER et al. 2017). RAHMANI et al. (2020) mentioned P. mongolicus, P. gallicus and " P. foederata " (= P. foederatus) from Iran without checking specimens. We do not know valid records of P. foederatus from Iran so far.

description: A comprehensive study of multifrequency correlations can shed light on the nature of variation for blazars. In this work, we collect the long-term radio, optical and $γ$-ray light curves of PKS 1502+106. After performing the localized cross-correlation function analysis, we find that correlations between radio and $γ$-ray or $V$ band are beyond the $3σ$ significance level. The lag of the $γ$-ray relative to 15 GHz is $-60^{+5}_{-10}$ days, translating to a distance $3.18^{+0.50}_{-0.27}$ parsec (pc) between them. Within uncertainties, the locations of the $γ$-ray and optical emitting regions are roughly the same, and are away from the jet base within $1.2$ pc. The derived magnetic field in optical and $γ$-ray emitting regions is about $0.36$ G. The logarithm of $γ$-ray flux is significantly linearly correlated with that of $V$ band fluxes, which can be explained by the synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) process, the external Compton (EC) processes, or the combination of them. We find a significant linear correlation in the plot of $\log\prod$ (polarization degree) versus $\log νF_ν$ at $V$ band, and use the empirical relation $Π\sim \sin^n θ'$ ($θ'$ is the observing angle in the comoving frame blob) to explain it. The behaviors of color index (generally redder when brighter at the active state) and $γ$-ray spectral index (softer when brighter) could be well explained by the twisted jet model. These findings suggest that the curvature effect (mainly due to the change of the viewing angle) is dominant in the variation phenomena of fluxes, spectral indices, and polarization degrees for PKS 1502+106.

description: Three-dimensional black holes coupled to a self-interacting scalar field is considered. It is known that its statistical entropy $a' la$ Strominger does $not$ agree with the Bekenstein-Hawking (BH) entropy. However I show that, by a careful treatment of the vacuum state in the {\it canonical} ensemble with a fixed temperature, which is the same as that of the BTZ black hole without the scalar field, the BH entropy is exactly produced by the Cardy's formula. I discuss its several implications, including the fate of black holes, no-scalar-hair theorems, stability, mirror black holes, and one-loop corrections.

description: Recreation expenditures of both on-site recreationists and recreation home owners (seasonal and permanent) include two major categories: trip expenditures and annual expenditures. Trip expenditures refer to expenses on food, transportation, lodging, and other recreation related activities during visits to the recreation areas on the Navigation System. While annual expenditures consist of outlays for boating, fishing, camping, and skiing for the entire season, they exclude the initial investment on recreation equipment. The expenditures incurred in the Oklahoma portion of the waterway for on-site recreationists and recreation home owners were estimated separately.

description: Biodiversity is declining across the globe, and human-driven climate change and land-use change are among the primary drivers of this loss. Understanding the mechanisms causing declines is critical for developing effective conservation and management strategies which will not only slow biodiversity loss, but reverse it. This is relevant for virtually all species on the planet, but given the ecosystem services that they provide, pollinators are an especially important group in which to study this. Among the wild pollinators native to North America and Europe, bumblebees (Bombus) are a particularly important and beautiful group. In this thesis, I identify how climate change and land-use change interact to influence population and community change in North American and European bumblebees, and I explore the potential role of protected areas in mitigating declines. I find that climate change has increased local extinction risk for bumblebees by exposing them to temperatures beyond their historic tolerances, and I introduce a broadly applicable method which improves prediction of this climate change-related risk (Chapter 2). Examining the interactions between climate change and land-use change shows that the risk from increasing temperatures and temperature extremes is worse in historically degraded areas, and that climate change and land-use change may be driving biotic homogenization in bumblebee communities. Yet, landscape-scale patterns suggest that human land-use can be managed to have minimal, or even positive, effects on pollinators (Chapter 3). In the face of these global pressures, protected areas represent one way to conserve species. I find that increasing the amount of protected area in a region, regardless of size or management category of the protected areas, is related to reduced local extinction risk for bumblebees across North America and Europe. This benefit is especially strong in areas with high human land-use, highlighting the importance of protected areas in highly human-dominated landscapes (Chapter 4). The work within my thesis improves our understanding of how climate change and land-use change drive shifts in species and communities, and can inform on the effectiveness of specific conservation actions from gardens and urban greenspaces, to Other Effective Area-Based Conservation Measures (Chapter 5).

 R e m a r k: The species was revised by SCHMID- EGGER et al. (2017). It is a valid species close to P. dominula and restricted in its distribution to western Asia and northeastern Africa. P. dominula occurs in the Mediterranean area and Central Europe. It is rare in western Asia and occurs north of Iran. The records of " P. dominula " from Iran (RAHMANI et al. 2020, EBRAHIMI & CARPENTER 2008) have to be checked and probably refer to P. bucharensis. We do not know valid records of P. dominula from Iran so far.

Halpha Morphologies and Environmental Effects in Virgo Cluster Spiral Galaxies

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We describe the various Halpha morphologies of Virgo Cluster and isolated spiral galaxies, and associate the Halpha morphologies with the types of environmental interactions which have altered the cluster galaxies. The spatial distributions of Halpha and R-band emission are used to divide the star formation morphologies of the 52 Virgo Cluster spirals into several categories: normal (37%), anemic (6%), enhanced (6%), and (spatially) truncated (52%). Truncated galaxies are further subdivided based on their inner star formation rates into truncated/normal (37%), truncated/compact (6%), truncated/anemic (8%), and truncated/enhanced (2%). The fraction of anemic galaxies is relatively small (6-13%) in both environments, suggesting that starvation is not a major factor in the reduced star formation rates of Virgo spirals. The majority of Virgo spiral galaxies have their Halpha disks truncated (52%), whereas truncated Halpha disks are rarer in isolated galaxies (12%). Most of the Halpha-truncated galaxies have relatively undisturbed stellar disks and normal-to-slightly enhanced inner disk star formation rates, suggesting that ICM-ISM stripping is the main mechanism causing the reduced star formation rates of Virgo spirals. In other galaxies, the Halpha morphologies are more consistent with a tidal origin or perhaps outer cluster HI accretion. These results indicate that most Virgo spiral galaxies experience ICM-ISM stripping, many experience significant tidal effects, and many experience both. (abridged).

description: The world sugar economy is characterized by a large number of producing and consuming countries with trade occurring under a myriad of special trading arrangements, government policies, and international agreements. The highly regulated conditions in which sugar is traded is attributed to a number of. factors including: 1) protectionist pressures from manufacturers; 2) producer pressure for higher farm prices; 3) commitments to self-sufficiency; 4) political alignments; 5) volatile nature of sugar prices; and 6) consumer behavior.

description: Although some public finance textbooks still teach that public goods demands cannot be measured,1 substantial progress has been made in developing and implementing techniques for measuring one form of public good--the benefits of improving environmental quality. This paper presents a brief review of the three major approaches to estimation of demands and benefits and a somewhat more detailed discussion of those techniques which are based market interactions between public and private goods. The analysis is limited to those public goods which are arguments in individual utility functions. Public goods which are inputs in production processes for marketed goods, for example, air quality in agricultural. production, affect cost, supply, and factor demand functions and through them affect one or more of the following: output prices, factor prices, and profits (quasi-rents). The benefits of increases In public goods supply can be measured in a conceptually straightforward manner from observable market data. See Freeman (1979a) for an elaboration.
title: Bridging Gaps: Care, Rights And Virtue
Creators: name: Gheaus, Anca
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2001

description: The aim of this paper is to argue that the ethic of care and an ethics conceptualised in terms of rights are complementary approaches, which can be integrated into the same ethical discourse. The starting point of the analysis will be the observation that the language and the content of morality can not be reduced to rights: Departing from the experience of being sensitive towards others as a daily component of women’s moral life, and noticing the impossibility of translating this experience into the language of rights, feminists have claimed that the standards of moral maturity which function in our society (i.e. the ability to formulate moral dilemmas in terms of rights and duties) are an expression of a masculine way of conceiving morality and, as a result, deprive women of the status of full moral agency.
