description: Kosovo's small economy substantially relies on money from abroad: an extraordinarily high number of migrants contribute to foreign capital inflow through remittances; remittances represented around 13% of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2009. This means that the well-being of many Kosovar families financially depends on their migrated family members (UNDP 2010). The most important destination of Kosovar migrants, Germany, alone hosts an estimated number of around 300,000 Albanian migrants from Kosovo. This is about half of all migrated Kosovar Albanians. However, reliable information on the specific situation of the migrants and their origin households is scarce. Adding to recent efforts to gain more knowledge about Kosovo and its remittances sending migrants, e.g. the UNDP's 2010 Kosovo Remittance Study, this discussion paper puts a specific focus on rural Kosovo, where many migrants come from and more than half of the Kosovar population and two thirds of the poor live (World Bank and SOK 2011). Our study aims at shedding light on the socio-economic situation of Kosovar farm households with migrants in Germany. We present data on both sides of migration: the migrant household in the destination country as well as the remittances receiving household in Kosovo. In our analysis of migrant households, we present results on socio-economic features of three migration waves. Individual demographic characteristics of the migrant are analysed as well as economic features including the income situation and the remitting behaviour. We furthermore discuss the nature of migration - if it is planned as a temporary or permanent move - and the return prospects of the migrants. For the corresponding farm households in Kosovo we present results on their socio-economic situation and specifically look at poverty and inequality indicators and discuss possible development impacts in the recipient households. We analyse an original sample of 226 Albanian migrants from Kosovo who have been interviewed by means of a structured questionnaire in 2009/10 in Germany as well as the corresponding sample of their origin farm households in rural Kosovo. For a comparison of recipient with non-recipient households we draw from an additional set of 55 non-recipient Kosovar households.

description: This article evaluates the recent evolution of farm structure in Kazakhstan's grain region against the reform objectives of the 1990s and the family farm theory that underpinned the latter. In the study region, super-large agroholdings, large-scale enterprises and smaller individual farms emerged side-by-side and now compete for resources in a homogenous production environment. Drawing on two survey rounds of farm-level data, we find that the agroholdings display the highest factor productivity and are the most competitive on land and labour markets among all farms. However, we also find constant technical returns to scale across farm types and a layer of smaller family farms that is highly competitive on land markets. It is thus too early to conclude that large corporate farms are economically superior to individual (family) farms. But the present analysis clearly calls into question that family farms are a per-se desirable or even the only viable way of organising agricultural production. A revision of the received family farm theory may thus be due.

The finite temperature transition for 2-flavour lattice QCD at finite isospin density

description: We simulate 2-flavour lattice QCD at finite isospin chemical potential mu_I, for temperatures close to the finite temperature transition from hadronic matter to a quark-gluon plasma. The mu_I dependence of the transition coupling is observed and used to estimate the decrease in the transition temperature with increasing mu_I. These simulations are performed on an 8^3 times 4 lattice at 3 different quark masses. Our estimate of the magnitude of the fluctuations of the phase of the fermion determinant at small quark-number chemical potential mu, suggest that the position of the small mu and small mu_I transitions should be the same for mu_I=2mu, and we argue that the nature of these transitions should be the same. For all mu_I < m_pi the smoothness of these transitions and the values of the Binder cumulant B_4, indicate that these transitions are mere crossovers, and show no sign of the expected critical endpoint. For mu_I > m_pi and a small isospin (I_3) breaking term lambda, we do find evidence of a critical endpoint which would indicate that, for lambda=0, there is a tricritical point on the phase boundary where the pion condensate evaporates, where this phase transition changes from second to first order.

description: The topic of this article is one of the biggest problems associated with retaliation under the World Trade Organization dispute settlement procedure - the sequencing issue. Namely, despite very strict, precise, applicable and tractable procedural rules in the World Trade Organization dispute settlement system, one thing has remained unclear and unresolved thus far - the mismatch of articles 21.5 and 22 of the World Trade Organization Dispute Settlement Understanding. A critical reading of these two articles, aside from possible practical problems, is enough to conclude that these two articles must be brought in accordance; otherwise, problems in implementation may arise. More than a decade ago, such a problem occurred, involving important world trade “players” and lasting over a considerable period. In order to explore the aforementioned problem, this article will outline the procedural issues, identify the problem, indicate the substance of the problem and, finally, suggest possible solutions.

description: The paper evaluates the effect of financial sector reforms on agricultural investments in Nigeria from 1970-2009 using a cointegration and vector error correction model (VECM) in a long time series analysis. The descriptive analysis shows that the mean agricultural investments of ₦88,101.83 million during financial sector reforms period was higher than ₦538.78 million of the pre-financial sector reforms period and was significantly different at 5 percent (tcal>ttab at P=0.5) while the mean growth rate of 36.36 percent for the pre-financial sector reforms period was higher than 34.25 percent of the financial sector reforms period and was not significantly different at 5 percent in the two periods. The result also reveals that financial sector reforms significantly affect agricultural investments in Nigeria both in the long and short-run. It is recommended that the Nigerian government should adopt strong macroeconomic policies, thereby encouraging investments in the agricultural sector of the country.

description: The main target of Integrated Crop Management Farmer Field School (ICM-FFS) development is to boost rice production in order to accelerate the achievement of sustainable rice self-sufficient in Indonesia. Nevertheless, aside from its achievements, as an approach it was not fully effectual for farmers. The study aims at analyzing factors influencing the adoption of ICM-FFS at swampy lands using survey and stratified random sampling approaches with involving total respondents of 159 people. Analysis the adoption factors were estimated by logistic regression model. Variables significantly affected the level of improvement opportunities of adoption were age, education, distance to agricultural technology information sources, distance to the meeting place and productivity. Among these variables, productivity level was as the main consideration of the farmers to adopt the ICM-FFS program. Therefore, the continuously effort to improve rice productivity should be taken into account as the priority to encourage more farmers to adopt this program. The opportunities for farmers to adopt this program are also expected to be even wider when efforts to increase productivity are also accompanied by efforts to improve quality and increase efficiency of inputs uses.

description: The concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) first appeared a few decades ago. Today, by the ubiquitous wireless connectivity, the boost of machine learning and artificial intelligence, and the advances in big data analytics, it is safe to say that IoT has evolved to a new concept called the Internet of Everything (IoE) or the Internet of All. IoE has four pillars: Things, human, data, and processes, which render it as an inhomogeneous large-scale network. A crucial challenge of such a network is to develop management, analysis, and optimization policies that besides utility-maximizer machines, also take irrational humans into account. We discuss several networking applications in which appropriate modeling of human decision-making is vital. We then provide a brief review of computational models of human decision-making. Based on one such model, we develop a solution for a task offloading problem in fog computing and we analyze the implications of including humans in the loop.

Accelerated expansion in a stochastic self-similar fractal Universe

description: In a recent paper, a cosmological model based on El Naschie {\it E} infinity cantorian spacetime was presented [Iovane, G.; Chaos, Solitons and Fractals, 20: 657-667, (2004)]. In that work it was claimed that the present accelerated expansion of the Universe can be obtained as the effect of a scaling law on newtonian cosmology with a certain time dependent gravitational constant ($G$). In the present work we show that it may be problematic to explain the present accelerated expansion of the Universe using the approach presented in \cite{iovane}. As a better alternative we apply the same scaling law and a time-dependent gravitational constant, that follows from the observational constraints, to relativistic cosmology, i.e. the Friedmann's model. We are able to show that for a matter-dominated flat Universe, with the scaling law and a varying $G$, an accelerated expansion emerges in such a way that the function luminosity distance vs redshift can be made close to the corresponding function that comes from the usual Friedmann's model supplemented with a cosmological constant of value $Ω_Λ\simeq0.7$. Then the measurements of high redshift supernovae, could be interpreted as a consequence of the fractal-self similarity of the $G$ varying relativistic universe.

The role of polycomb group genes in mitosis in Drosophila melanogaster
Creators: name: O’Dor, Ester
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In Drosophila, the Polycomb Group (PcG) of epigenetic regulators have classically been studied as chromatin regulatory proteins which maintain the repressed state of Hox genes during development, thereby maintaining the correct patterning of the anteroposterior axis. Though the mechanism of PcG-mediated inheritance is not yet known, it likely involves co-ordination with cell cycle regulators to ensure faithful transmission of repressed Hox states during cell division, and thus maintenance of the body plan. So far, very little evidence has linked the PcG to cell cycle progression. Recently, Lupo et al. (2001) demonstrated that a PcG mutant, polyhomeotic, exhibits chromatin bridges at anaphase, and an isoform of Polyhomeotic protein co-immunoprecipitates with cell cycle regulators Barren and Topoisomerase II. I have characterized mitotic defects in early embryos of a subset of PcG mutants and demonstrate that segregation defects and other cell cycle progression defects are common to many PcG mutants. This suggests that the PcG as a whole has a role in cell cycle progression. Characterization of the segregation defects focused on mutants of the polyhomeotic proximal gene (ph-p) and revealed that the chromatin bridges are restricted to chromatid arms, and likely arise during S-phase. PH-P protein partially co-localizes with the S-phase regulators Geminin and PCNA, further suggesting an S-phase role for PH-P. In early embryos, the chromatin bridges present a physical barrier to PH-P oscillation during the cell cycle, such that normal PH-P reassociation with chromatin following anaphase is delayed. To assess whether cell cycle progression affects PcG-mediated silencing during later development, I performed a number of genetic interaction assays between PcG mutants and mutants of known cell cycle regulators. All cell cycle mutants which themselves exhibit segregation defects enhance the adult homeotic phenotypes of PcG mutants. I propose a model which describes an S-phase role for PH-P, and suggests that cell cycle progression is a crucial component of epigenetic inheritance.

description: Molecular line CN, CS and mm continuum observations of two intermediate- to high-mass star-forming regions - IRAS20293+3952 and IRAS19410+2336 - obtained with the Plateau de Bure Interferometer at high spatial resolution reveal interesting characteristics of the gas and dust emission. In spite of the expectation that the CN and CS morphology might closely follow the dense gas traced by the dust continuum, both molecules avoid the most central cores. Comparing the relative line strengths of various CN hyperfine components, this appears not to be an opacity effect but to be due to chemical and physical effects. The CN data also indicate enhanced emission toward the different molecular outflows in the region. Regarding CS, avoiding the central cores can be due to high optical depth, but the data also show that the CS emission is nearly always associated with the outflows of the region. Therefore, neither CS nor CN appear well suited for dense gas and disk studies in these two sources, and we recommend the use of different molecules for future massive disk studies. An analysis of the 1 and 3mm continuum fluxes toward IRAS20293+3952 reveals that the dust opacity index beta is lower than the canonical value of 2. Tentatively, we identify a decreasing gradient of beta from the edge of the core to the core center. This could be due to increasing optical depth toward the core center and/or grain growth within the densest cores and potential central disks. We detect 3mm continuum emission toward the collimated outflow emanating from IRAS20293+3952. The spectral index of alpha ~ 0.8 in this region is consistent with standard models for collimated ionized winds.

description: The IEEE 802.11ad WiFi amendment enables short-range multi-gigabit communications in the unlicensed 60~GHz spectrum, unlocking new interesting applications such as wireless Augmented and Virtual Reality. The characteristics of the mmWave band and directional communications allow increasing the system throughput by scheduling pairs of nodes with low cross-interfering channels in the same time-frequency slot. On the other hand, this requires significantly more signaling overhead. Furthermore, IEEE 802.11ad introduces a hybrid MAC characterized by two different channel access mechanisms: contention-based and contention-free access periods. The coexistence of both access period types and the directionality typical of mmWave increase the channel access and scheduling complexity in IEEE 802.11ad compared to previous WiFi versions. Hence, to provide the Quality of Service (QoS) performance required by demanding applications, a proper resource scheduling mechanism that takes into account both directional communications and the newly added features of this WiFi amendment is needed. In this paper, we present a brief but comprehensive review of the open problems and challenges associated with channel access in IEEE 802.11ad and propose a workflow to tackle them via both heuristic and learning-based methods.

Such observables are crucial if processes that produce final states consisting of a spin-1/2 baryon and two pseudoscalar mesons are to be fully exploited for baryon spectroscopy. We derive relationships among the observables, as well as inequalities that they must satisfy. We also discuss the observables that must be measured in `complete' experiments, and briefly examine the prospects for measurement of some of these observables in the near future.

description: This paper explores the slow pace of structural change which has characterised the post-transition period in Romania and sheds light on the dynamics of labour adjustments. A multinomial logit is employed to investigate the determinants of inter-sectoral labour movements in the period 2003-06. The high share of farm employment in Romania, mostly characterised by family workers and self-employed, suggests that agriculture serves as a buffer against unemployment. Whereas the main channel of farm labour outflows is closely related to retirement, movements to other sectoral employment are signifi cantly hindered by the low levels of education. The findings are important from a policy point of view, suggesting the need for investments in human capital, specifi cally in education of the rural population with the purpose of enhancing the mobility of labour and facilitating a smooth transition across activities. At the same time, priority should be placed on rural development to encourage the diversification of the rural economy and the creation of alternative sources of income from non-agricultural activities.

description: In this paper, a few dual least-squares finite element methods and their application to scalar linear hyperbolic problems are studied. The purpose is to obtain $L^2$-norm approximations on finite element spaces of the exact solutions to hyperbolic partial differential equations of interest. This is approached by approximating the generally infeasible quadratic minimization, that defines the $L^2$-orthogonal projection of the exact solution, by feasible least-squares principles using the ideas of the original $\mathcal{L}\mathcal{L}^*$ method proposed in the context of elliptic equations. All methods in this paper are founded upon and extend the $\mathcal{L}\mathcal{L}^*$ approach which is rather general and applicable beyond the setting of elliptic problems. Error bounds are shown that point to the factors affecting the convergence and provide conditions that guarantee optimal rates. Furthermore, the preconditioning of the resulting linear systems is discussed. Numerical results are provided to illustrate the behavior of the methods on common finite element spaces.

description: Rural regeneration is usually accompanied by diversifi cation of the economy and creation of new employment opportunities. The cluster concept, introduced by Michael Porter at the beginning of the 1990s, and cluster initiatives are generally and uncritically offered as an adequate tool for the fulfi lment of these objectives. This study describes the functioning of four tourism cluster initiatives from rural areas of Slovakia using the experience and knowledge from fi eld work (supported by content analysis of newspapers and the Internet) and their (in)direct impact on selected regional indicators (net migration of population, number of tourists, overnight stays and unemployed persons). The data indicate the efforts of the tourism cluster founders in the initial years of activity are not automatically associated with broadly interpreted local and regional success. This result shows that cluster initiatives in tourism are not appropriate for all rural areas, economies and/or communities.

Giant deformations and soft-inflation in LCE balloons

Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: We propose that ballooning can be controlled, enriched and amplified by using rubbery networks of aligned molecular rods known as liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs). Firstly, LCEs are promising artificial muscles, showing large spontaneous deformations in response to heat and light. In LCE balloons, spontaneous deformations can trigger classic ballooning, either as phase-separation (at constant volume) or a volume jump (at constant pressure), resulting in greatly magnified actuation strains. Secondly, even at constant temperature, LCEs have unusual mechanics augmented by soft-modes of deformation in which the nematic director rotates within the elastomer. These soft modes enrich the mechanics of LCE balloons, which can also "balloon" between rotated and unrotated states, either during the classic instability, or as a separate pre-cursor, leading to successive instabilities during inflation.
A three-dimensional study of reconnection, current sheets and jets resulting from magnetic flux emergence in the Sun

description: We present the results of a set of three-dimensional numerical simulations of magnetic flux emergence from below the photosphere into the corona that include a uniform and horizontal coronal magnetic field mimicking a pre-existing large-scale coronal magnetic system. Cases with different relative orientations of the upcoming and coronal fields are studied. Upon contact, a concentrated current sheet with the shape of an arch or bridge is formed at the interface which marks the positions of maximum jump in the field vector between the two systems. Relative angles above 90 degrees yield abundant magnetic reconnection and plasma heating. The reconnection is seen to be intrisincally three-dimensional in nature, except at singular positions along the current sheet. It drives collimated high-speed and high-temperature outflows only a short distance from the reconnection site that propagate along the ambient magnetic field lines as jets. Due to the low plasma density in the corona, these jets may propagate over large distances and, therefore help distribute high-density and high-temperature plasma along these newly reconnected field lines. The experiments permit to discern and visualize the three-dimensional shape and relative position of the upcoming plasma hill, high-speed jets and subphotospheric flux system. As a result of the reconnection, magnetic field lines from the magnetized plasma below the surface end up as coronal field lines, thus causing a profound change in the connectivity of the magnetic regions in the corona. The experiments presented here thus yield a number of features repeatedly observed with the TRACE satellite and the YOHKOH-SXT detector, like the establishment of connectivity between emergent and pre-existing active regions, local heating and high-velocity outflows.

description: The 27 European Union (EU) Member States increased their total agri-food exports during the period 2000-2011. However, despite agri-food exports having grown, the shares of the world agri-food markets of 13 EU Member States and the EU-27 as a whole have declined. Those with increasing market share are mainly among the Eastern EU Member States. Constant market share analysis by 27 EU Member States suggests that the structural effects in agri-food and dairy exports are more important than the residual and second order effects. The declining market share is largely associated with negative residual and second order effects. Large positive structural effects cannot compensate for the impact of negative residual and second order effects and this results in declining agri-food market shares.

Er beschreibt zunächst eine Dethematisierung von Gender im Kontext der außerschulischen Musikpädagogik und setzt sich damit auseinander, inwieweit Gender als Strukturkategorie an Musikschulen sichtbar ist. Diverse genderbezogene Phänomene auf musikpädagogischer, aber auch auf organisationaler Ebene werden identifiziert. Datengrundlage bilden Dokumente des Musikschulverbands sowie statistische Datenbanken von Musikschulen. Es wird untersucht, inwiefern weitere Strukturkategorien wie sozioökonomischer Status und (Dis)Ability In- und Exklusionsmechanismen an Musikschulen beeinflussen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass gegenwärtig nicht von einer reflektierten, gendersensiblen Praxis an Musikschulen ausgegangen werden kann. Eine intersektionale analytische Perspektive wird vorgeschlagen und durch methodologische Überlegungen mit Blick auf eine praxeologisch begründete empirische Rekonstruktion des Umgangs mit Gender bzw. Differenz an Musikschulen konkretisiert.

description: We describe a technique to learn the underlying structure of collider events directly from the data, without having a particular theoretical model in mind. It allows to infer aspects of the theoretical model that may have given rise to this structure, and can be used to cluster or classify the events for analysis purposes. The unsupervised machine-learning technique is based on the probabilistic (Bayesian) generative model of Latent Dirichlet Allocation. We pair the model with an approximate inference algorithm called Variational Inference, which we then use to extract the latent probability distributions describing the learned underlying structure of collider events. We provide a detailed systematic study of the technique using two example scenarios to learn the latent structure of di-jet event samples made up of QCD background events and either $t\bar{t}$ or hypothetical $W' \to (ϕ\to WW) W$ signal events.

description: Climate change is an unprecedented challenge in human history. It requires further immediate and concerted action. Understanding the stage of development of each energy resource, as the impact on the energy system to make informed decisions and prescribe a healthy energy future has thus become a priority. Decisions such as the phasing out of fossil fuels and the transition to an efficient and 100% renewable energy system, as well as increasing the storage capacity of greenhouse gases using environmentally sustainable approaches, maintaining natural ecosystems that generate environmental services, and restoring the degraded ones are now a top issue. Therefore, the relationship between energy and environmental policy is becoming essential. Accordingly, this paper will focus on the transition to renewable energy, the adaptation to climate change and the energy transition at EU level being strenuously debated, in order to build a holistic context of the actual situation. Adaptation to climate change requests a complex scientific study, given the diversity of uncertainties involved, and the interconnections between different areas, such as agriculture, sustainable development or energy industry. Therefore, the aim of research is to provide holistic understanding of the current climate issues, according to the mentioned fields. In this context, it is emphasized the benefits of clean energy by investigating the methods for achieving a prolific energy transition, from a conventional to a sustainable one. Carefully analysing the commitments and the transition to a low-carbon electricity system looking behind the causes and studying closely the underlying elements of all these topics, using the qualitative research method as a basis to indulge in further analysis and research, it was outlined a detailed analysis of the current climate context. In conclusion, the effect of the pressure brought into play by human exploitation of goods and services on the ecosystems was associated with the ongoing concerns of environmental degradation, climatic variations, natural and ecological distortions, and financial setbacks. Taking into account the drive toward accomplishing sustainable development and environmental quality, powerful policies are being implemented, but given the variety of investment conditions in each country and including the different characteristics of the financial markets, there is no unique solution that works for everybody. Therefore, the transition to a more sustainable energy system has a verity of implications but it is an essential condition for sustainable development.

description: Ausgehend von Krisenwahrnehmungen und Sozialen Bewegungen, die durch politische Forderungen und konkrete Praktiken krisenhaften Strukturen Ideen des guten Lebens gegenüberstellen, wird Commons und Commoning als eine Form der anderen Wirtschafts- und Sozialbeziehungen vorgestellt. Zugleich wird die Pluralität der Commonspraktiken als Herausforderung für die Festlegung normativer Zielrichtungen herausgearbeitet. Durch eine immanente Perspektive, die die normativen Zielsetzungen aus der Debatte selbst herausstellt, kann ein gewinnbringender und erweiternder Umgang gelingen. Mit dem Ansatz des Rhizoms von Deleuze und Guattari wird eine Perspektive vorgestellt, die Commoning als pluralen Prozess des Werdens denkt und daraus Möglichkeiten zur Reflexion und immanente Verhandlung von normativen Zielen herausstellt.

description: The main objective of this paper is to analyse the impact of European Union (EU) membership on Hungarian agricultural trade with the EU-27 in the period 2003-2013, based on our own calculations using the latest statistical data. We concluded that the agricultural orientation of Hungarian foreign trade and the export orientation of the agricultural sector have strengthened during these ten years. Hungarian agricultural trade with the EU-27 grew dynamically, with expansion of exports being accompanied by increasing import penetration. As a result of the three-fold export and import value growth, the EU-27 became the leading market for Hungarian export products (with an 80 per cent share) and the main source of imports (with a 91 per cent share). While, owing to low competitiveness, the Hungarian export commodity structure is dominated by raw materials and semi-processed goods, the import structure is rather diversified, though processed goods oriented. The share of the Member States that joined the EU from 2004 onwards has increased to almost 40 per cent in Hungary’s intra-EU agricultural trade, at the expense of the EU-15. Following a post EU accession deterioration, the balance of Hungary’s agricultural trade with the EU had improved to a record of EUR 2.7 billion by 2012.
