description: Macroscopical and histological analysis of the skin is fundamental in both human and veterinary forensic investigations. However, databases of differential skin histology of various animal species are rare. The aim of the present study is to identify species-specific differential histological features of the skin that could be used in forensic investigations including animal identification. For this purpose, skin specimens were collected from the neck region of various farm animals including buffalo, cow, camel, sheep, goat, dog, and donkey, and were processed for histological analysis. Our comparative analysis revealed specific histological features in the skin that could differentiate between the studied animal species. The epidermis layer of the skin was very thick in buffalo, intermediate in cow, sheep, goat, dog, and donkey, but very thin in camel. The papillomatous epidermis was very frequent in buffalo, but very rare in cow. In the dermis layer of the skin, four structures were located which showed differential features between the studied animal species: the papillary layer, which was thick in buffalo, camel, sheep, dog, and donkey but thin in cow and goat. The sweat glands, which were few in buffalo, cow, goat, and dog, but numerous and deeply located in the dermis of sheep; they were individually located in all studied animals except in camel and donkey they were arranged in clusters. The hair follicles were characteristic for the skin of sheep as they were present at two different levels in the dermis with simple and compound hair follicles. The sebaceous glands were large and multi-lobular in buffalo, but small and uni-lobular in cow and camel. The hypodermis layer of the skin was very thick in sheep and goat in contrast to all other analyzed animals. In conclusion, the present study provides comprehensive information on the differential histological features of the skin of seven different domestic animal species that could be used as a key in forensic investigations.

The Fresh Produce Industry and Changes in Food Retail in the United States: Industry Trends and Research Developments

subject: vertical-coordination

description: This paper focuses on fresh produce marketing in the U.S. The realities of and industry trends for each marketing stage─from production areas to wholesale, all the way up to the retail stage─were examined by analyzing research reports and statistical data, and by reviewing material such as academic papers in the related agricultural economics fields. The paper then considers these results and views future trends in Japan in terms of the agricultural economics research in related fields. Over the past 30 years, the consumer market for the fresh produce in the U.S. has grown threefold at the consumer level and almost doubled at the farm gate level. Meanwhile, however, the fresh produce industry is facing issues such as the retail concentration and the decline of small-sized suppliers in retailing. Going forward, agricultural economics research issues that need to be studied in Japan include the effects of retail concentration on consumers, the effects that advancing concentration and vertical coordination of retail corporations will have on agriculture and wholesale businesses, changes in agricultural management, and changes in the organizational structure and function of cooperatives as a result of responding to changes in their business relationships with retail companies.
The Italian balance of payments problem

Subjects: subject: Italy, balance of payments, foreign trade deficit, trade liberalisation, tariffs, import restrictions, exports, trade policy
subject: F10, F13, F32

description: Italy’s foreign trade deficit, one of the countries most pressing problems, remained at a high level in 1953, giving fresh zest to the debates on the policy of trade liberalisation and tariff reductions followed by the Italian Government. According to the author, the situation calls for the adoption of re-equilibrating measures. Among such possible measures, a policy of financial and credit import restrictions should be avoided, as it would reduce the volume of domestic investments and thus aggravate the unemployment problem. Moreover, the manipulation of exchange rates would be of little use as its effects would soon be effaced by a rise in home prices. On the other hand, efforts should be directed towards assuring larger exports. The author argues that it is essential to secure a geographical reorientation of Italy’s trade policy which would shift “imports towards those areas where Italian exports have the greatest possibilities of finding outlets”. Such a policy would, however, imply more definite recourse to methods of centrally managed trade policies. JEL: F10, F13, F32

Features of the present Italian customs tariff
Creators: name: ZACCHIA, C.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Italy, customs tariffs, trade, duties, trade balance, iron, steel industry
subject: F13

description: The article begins by recalling the reasons which led the Italian authorities to abandon the tariff of 1921 and to work out a new one in 1950, and which is based on ad valorem duties and follows the technical principals set forth by the Brussels Study Group for the European Customs Union. The new tariff is undoubtedly high; but it was conceived primarily as a ceiling and as a negotiating instrument. In fact, it has never been applied. The reductions which have been conceded by the Italian Government since 1950 have produced a “working tariff” which is on a moderate level. The central part of the article illustrates the many measures taken by the Government to reduce the duties of the “general tariff” and recently, in response to the trade balance crisis, have given rise to strong criticism in business quarters. The last section deals with the iron and steel duties, and with the connected problem of the relationship between the iron and steel industry on the one hand, and the engineering industry on the other.

Some lines for the practical organisation of European markets
Creators: name: PAPI, G.U.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Single European market, economic integration, trade, liberalisation
subject: F13, F15

description: In an earlier article entitled “Myths and Realities of the European Green Pool”, the author emphasised the necessity of a gradual solution to the problem of establishing a single European market, and suggested as a first step the system of priority quotas, which he regarded as the most realistic method of promoting increased trade and of solving in large part the problem of the exportable quotas in each country. In the present article, this proposal, which draws its justification from the extreme improbability of a rapid elimination of quantitative restrictions in all of the interested countries, is further developed with special reference to agricultural products. According to the author, the realisation of the objects that are attainable through the “quota system” might be facilitated by a permanent Council of the Ministers of Agriculture, by a credit institution, and by a payments organisation.

subject: E01, E42, E51, E58

description: The article calls attention to a domestic American aspect of the size of gold reserves and of the proposals for raising the price of gold. After recalling the main facts relating to the gold movements to and from the United States from 1934 to the present time and to their effects on the monetary and banking situation, the author raises the question of whether, on the bases of the present gold price, the United States gold reserves will much longer suffice to meet the cover requirements for the sight liabilities of the Federal Reserve Banks. Postulating certain alternative rates of increase in the American gross national product, and certain ratios between the money supply and the national income, he forecasts possible movements in the required money supply, and therefore in the gold reserves that would be necessary, assuming the present laws concerning reserve requirements to remain unchanged.

The 1951 census of industry and trade in Italy: some preliminary results
Creators: name: BARBERI, B.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Italy, census, 1951, survey, artisan, Italian economy, structure
subject: F14, L10, L16

description: The article examines certain aspects of the structure of the Italian economy as revealed by the new Census of Industry and Trade which differs in a number of respects from the earlier censuses. It is in fact the first to give a systematic, uniform and simultaneous survey of the number and characteristics of the enterprises on the one hand, and the number and characteristics of the “local units” in which the “economic units” conduct their business, on the other. The general analytical survey which the author gives of the various economic sectors provides the starting point for many observations. One theme, however, receives particular emphasis: the role of small units, of artisan and similar type, which play a dominant part, especially in industry and trade, and more particularly in the South than in the North. The author observes that “while it is undeniable that business enterprises of the artisan-type sometimes perform an essential function, it is also true that they rarely have the organisation, technique or business know-how which progress and the needs of society have made indispensable.

description: This publication, the end result of cooperation between the Innovative Startup “SARA ENViMOB S.r.l., Servizi e Soluzioni per la Natura e il Turismo” (Sapienza University of Rome), the Network of Enterprises “I Borghi Marinari di Roma – RIBOMAR” and FEDERBALNEARI Lazio Litorale Nord, seeks to promote a bottom-up approach to the transformation of the tourist offer in the area known as Litorale Nord, in the Latium Region, taking it out of its current state of “undertourism”. Litorale Nord possesses a wealth of resources, natural and cultural assets dotted along the coast, in the sea and further inland that have not been fully exploited for tourism purposes. The area lies between three tourism “poles”: the Port of Civitavecchia, Fiumicino Airport and the Rome city centre, which is today suffering from the phenomenon known as “overtourism”.
Problems of E.P.U. and Italian commercial policy
Creators: name: CARLI, G.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: European Payments Union, Italy, commercial policy, imports, exports, international trade
subject: F15, F36

description: The article synthesises the factors which have led to the present “crisis” in the E.P.U. and sets out some of the possible solutions. Looking at the particular situation of Italy, the author favours a commercial policy which is clearly non-discriminatory not only in respect of imports but also in respect of exports. The position of Italy in the E.P.U., he observes, will probably continue to be a debtor one for some considerable time, carrying with it the obligation to make full payment in gold or convertible currency. On the other hand, the increasingly keen competition which is evident both within the E.P.U. area and in the areas with convertible currencies confirms the necessity of expanding the volume of trade with other areas. And this necessity gives increased actuality to the problem of freeing international trade from the restrictions which limit it vis-à-vis certain countries. “A condition for the continuation of the liberalisation of imports” he concludes “is the liberalisation of exports”.

description: The so-called Pitane Dossier from Pergamon documents a case of interstate arbitration in a territorial dispute on the western coast of Asia Minor, involving the cities of Pitane and Mytilene. Containing two decrees and an arbitral award, the dossier sheds light on the preliminary negotiations, the judicial procedure, and the final decision by five Pergamene judges. In the course of recent epigraphic fieldwork in Pergamon since 2016, three ­unpublished fragments had been identified as pertaining to this inscription. This substantial progress provided a strong incentive to re-edit the whole monument, in­cluding the already known fragments, and to accompany the new textual edition with a systematic commentary.
title: What is good sex? : young people, sexual pleasure and sexual health services
Creators: name: McGeeney, Ester
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2014

description: This thesis investigates young people's understandings and experiences of 'good sex' and sexual pleasure, documenting the resources young people use to make sense of these meanings in the context of their everyday lives and relationships. The study uses a situated approach to explore the methodological possibilities for researching sexual pleasure with a diverse group of young people in one urban location and to examine the ways in which pleasure is embedded, mediated and gendered in young people's sexual cultures. The research is used to contribute to debates about the inclusion of pleasure in sexual health services for young people and make suggestions for future research/practice. Drawing on data from survey, focus group and interview methods the thesis documents the diversity of young people's understandings of 'good sex' and sexual pleasure, suggesting that young people have access to a range of competing discursive and affective frameworks for making distinctions between what counts as 'good' and 'bad' sex. Analyses suggest that sexual meanings and values are contested and contingent on young people's shifting sex and relationship experiences and social locations. Timeliness and reciprocity emerged as key contested areas, shaped by enduring gender arrangements and participants' evolving sexual biographies. The thesis provides a reflexive account of the practice of researching sexual pleasure with young people, reporting on each method to argue that the findings are situated, shaped by interactive and material context. The research documents the benefits of using critical feminist reflexivity to interrogate how researcher/practitioners can create safe spaces for engaging young people in work around sexual pleasure and concludes that possibilities for realising the 'pleasure project' in practice will depend on local, institutional and political context.

In the first, a critical examination of some of the proposed plans for European economic integration was provided and steps to be taken in this direction were suggested. In the second, a set of principals on which to base the effective organisation of European markets was indicated. In the present article, the author treats some of the more controversial aspects of the mechanism proposed - a mechanism which does not tend to create a European block but which, being based on the principal of free competition, is destined to facilitate and not obstruct the expansion of world trade.

The Italian economy: growth factors and bottlenecks

Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Italy, economic development, history, growth, deficit, balance of payments, structural disequilibria
subject: F32, O11, O52

description: The article provides a broad survey of the Italian economy, pointing to some of the historical factors, to its characteristic features at the present time, and to problems of development. The author describes his purpose as one not of offering a description of Italian economic history, but of stressing factors in the Italian experience which are relevant to the problem of economic growth seen in general terms. The analysis of the Italian case presents special difficulties in so far as the progress of the Italian economy cannot be traced to a few easily individualised and spectacular factors, but appears rather to be the result of an intricate series of contrasting elements. The last part of the article considers the process of development in the Italian economy in the post-war period, dealing especially with the problems of the deficit in the balance of payments, and of the attempt to pursue a systematic investment policy aimed at accelerating the growth of national income, diminishing the structural disequilibria between North and South, and absorbing the unemployed.

Subjects: subject: International Relations/Trade
subject: international agricultural market

subject: tariff equivalent
subject: calibration

description: The purpose of this paper is to show that theoretical and empirical studies of agricultural trade should be conducted under the precondition that international markets are imperfectly competitive. The degree of imperfect competition in international wheat markets is calibrated as tariff equivalent. The results of the theoretical analysis showed that an erroneous assumption of perfect competition overestimated the effect of trade liberalization, while an increase in the degree of imperfect competition in international markets offset the benefit of trade liberalization. In addition, the results of the quantitative analysis showed that the present international wheat markets were imperfectly competitive, and the degree of imperfect competition had increased since the implementation of the Uruguay Round agricultural agreements.

The historical development of Anglo-Italian trade

Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Italy, United Kingdom, trade, economic growth, industrialisation, tariffs, imports, exports
subject: F10, F13, N73, O14

description: The article describes the way in which the pattern of trade between Italy and the United Kingdom has reacted to the pace and character of economic growth in each of the two countries. The author begins by giving a brief account of the character of trade between the two countries up to the middle of the last century, but concentrates mainly on developments since that time. The changes in the volume and composition of British exports to Italy after 1850, under the influence of industrialisation, of Italian tariff policy, of the growth of German competition, and of the developments in Italian economic activity, are first traced. The author goes on to describe the main lines of development in British imports from Italy, providing a brief sketch of the pre-1914 pattern of surpluses and deficits of Britain and Italy, with various countries. The inter-war period is then analysed, highlighting the effects of the Italian tariff of 1921, the fall in the share of the United Kingdom in Italian import trade, and the decline in the U.K. export surplus with Italy, which were evident in the twenties, and finally, to the all-round decline in Anglo-Italian trade which took place in the latter half of the thirties. A summary of the shifts in the net Anglo-Italian trading position since the Second World War are provided in conclusion. JEL: F10, F13, N73, O14

Selfduality in geometry : Yang-Mills connections and selfdual lagrangians
Creators: name: Donaldson, Jason Roderick
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The convex theory of selfdual Lagrangians recently developed by Ghoussoub analyses junctionals rooted in an expanse of partial differential equations and finds their minima not variationally but rather by realizing that they assume a prescribed lower bound. This is exactly the circumstance in the selfdual and anti-selfdual Yang-Mills equations that arise in the physical field theory and the study of the geometric and topological structure of four-dimensional manifolds. I expose the Yang-Mills equations, building up the geometry from student-level and subsequently outline the setting of selfdual Lagrangians. The theories are clearly analogous and the last section feints at the exact link.
The Extent of Damage from the Nuclear Accident on Agricultural Produce from Fukushima Prefecture: A View from the Wholesale Market Trends

description: This report is aimed at revealing the details of and the factors for the impacts of the nuclear accident on major agricultural produce such as vegetables from Fukushima Prefecture by analyzing the relationship between wholesale quantity and price, and comparing it before (average of 2007-2010) and after (2011 and thereafter) the disaster. Insights are drawn from a combination of wholesale market data sets provided by Agriculture & Livestock Industries Corporation (ALIC) and survey interviews with key informants such as wholesalers at Tokyo Metropolitan Central Wholesale Market, JA Zen-Noh (National Federation of Agricultural Co-operative Associations) Fukushima, Utsukushi-Fukushima Agricultural Corporations Association, and Agricultural Council in Fukushima Prefecture, as well as leading supermarket chains. First, at Tokyo Metropolitan Central Wholesale Market (Tokyo Market) and Osaka Central Wholesale Market (Osaka Market), normal relations between quantity and price have not been observed since the earthquake, which is particularly so in Tokyo Market, indicating the emergence of structural changes. Second, three major trends deserve attention in Tokyo Market, which is the largest buyer of Fukushima crops: (i) On the whole, both sales quantities and unit prices have been declining since the earthquake. Moreover, the trend has worsened in 2012 compared with 2011. (ii) On the other hand, some commodities remained unaffected in 2011. (iii) Unit prices of some commodities were on rebounding trends from 2011 to 2012. Third, the aforementioned three trends are underlain by multiple factors rather than single factors. Although the normal quantity-price relation holds true in regard to the essential goods that faced a supply shortage from other domestic sites in the peak season, for other goods there are cases in which producers lost their bargaining power over price in the context of compensation in place by TEPCO for nuclear damage, thereby inducing trend (i). In light of the uncertainty over the duration of TEPCO's compensation, it will be necessary to formulate and implement specific plans on regaining supply capacity and bargaining power in order for producers to sustain themselves whenever the compensation program terminates.

description: The nuclear power plant accident resulting from the Great East Japan Earthquake caused radioactive material pollution in fresh food. This issue has become a social problem. This article analyzes the need for testing by public administrators to investigate the presence of radioactive materials in food, especially fresh food offered for sale by various food retailers. In addition, this article compares the results of this test with the basic opinions and policies of each food retailer. Food retailers' methods of coping differ greatly. Many companies did in fact voluntarily test their purchased commodities for radioactive materials. Nevertheless, a program of public inspection would certainly provide consumers with additional confidence. This is especially required because consumer co-operatives face difficulties while dealing with radioactive material pollution. Because consumer co-operatives comprise a different type of consumers, and because many arable farmers, livestock farmers, and fishermen have joined consumer co-operatives in the Tohoku area, consumer co-operatives speculate about diminished sales in the event of conducting voluntary pollution tests on regional farmers' produce, milk, and fish. This dilemma is further complicated by the inadequate proof that voluntarily conducting such tests will in fact result in an increase in sales. However, without a sampling program, it will remain difficult to confirm food safety. Given the critical nature of a safe food supply, it is necessary to examine the issue of radioactive material pollution more closely.

description: Living organisms are adapted to their environment. Modern compilers and runtime systems for computer software are no different: as part of a continuous optimization process, they can adapt the execution cycle of a program to the workload it operates on.
This thesis brings novel ideas to the software optimization domain. It illustrates methodological and practical contributions that advance the state of the art for performance profiling techniques and adaptive runtime designs, backed by promising experimental results on industrial-strength benchmarks. Part of the results has been presented in flagship programming language venues.

subject: consumer behavior

description: On March 11, 2011, the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake wreaked havoc across northeastern Japan. The disaster caused a serious nuclear accident at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant, which led to radiation leakage across northern and eastern Japan. Concerns over the radioactive contamination of food have grown among consumers since the accident. The Japanese government has issued certain legal guidelines for withdrawing food from markets. However, the demand for agricultural products from Fukushima Prefecture and neighboring areas decreased because of contamination concerns. In this paper, the research estimated consumer WTA of spinach from Fukushima and Ibaraki prefectures using the data collected by internet surveys conducted from March 2011 to February 2012 of married women living in the Tokyo and Osaka metropolitan areas. In the estimate this research divided the WTA into two parts: 1) health risk evaluation, the evaluation of products based on health risk from radioactive contamination, and 2) origin evaluation, based on the origin of products without contamination. The main results are as follows: (1) Consumer evaluations were different between the Tokyo and Osaka metropolitan areas. The health risk evaluation was similar in both areas; however, the origin evaluation was different between the areas. (2) Level of contamination-WTA curves should be concave and the effect of the change of level of contamination diminishes gradually. The results indicate that consumers' evasion toward agricultural food with fear of contamination is still strong and sticky.
title: La dinamica degli opposti. Ricerca letteraria, cultura mediatica e media in Georges Perec
Creators: name: FIORLETTA, LOREDANA
Publisher: name: Sapienza Università Editrice
Year: 2020

description: Scrittore eclettico e originale, autore di radio e in misura minore di cinema, Georges Perec partecipa nel 1967 a un convegno a Venezia dedicato ai “mass media” e si chiede se la scrittura letteraria possa trarre ispirazione dai nuovi linguaggi. Applicando lo stesso criterio all’analisi della sua produzione, emerge una costante messa in tensione di elementi distanti o antitetici dell’esperienza della contemporaneità, un approccio che infrange le visioni date e offre nuove chiavi di lettura. In forma romanzesca, saggistica, o esterna a ogni definizione di genere, Perec esercita la pratica dell’attraversamento, tra intrattenimento e prospettiva critica, finzione e documento, evento e quotidiano, immersione e distanza.
A fianco dell’incessante ricerca della traccia, della scrittura come lascito, affiora il senso d’inadeguatezza di un ordine immobile e rigido e una fascinazione per l’effimero, per la vita come processo. La stabilità della parola scritta si ibrida con il flusso dei media audiovisivi. Senza mai fornire soluzioni univoche, per partito preso, l’opera di Perec non cessa di esercitare la sua influenza su intellettuali e artisti e di trasmettere ai lettori la passione per l’esistente, il desiderio di comprendere il mondo che abitiamo.

description: Grass cultivars Mulato (a hybrid; Brachiaria brizantha χ B. ruziziensis), MarandCi (Β. brizantha) and Toledo (B. brizantha) are the most important tropical grass releases in Latin America for grazing. However, information on yield and persistence of these cultivars in Puerto Rico is limited. This study assessed yield, nutritive value and mob grazing effects of Mulato, MarandCi and Toledo. The study was conducted at the Corozal substation of the Agricultural Experiment Station of the University of Puerto Rico. Soil type was of the Corozal series (fine clay, mixed, isohypetermic Aquic Haplohumults). Established stands of Mulato, MarandCi and Mulato were stocked every 35 d with yearling steers (mob grazed for 1 to 2 d to a 15-cm height). Prior to grazing, a 1 m2 quadrant was clipped, weighed and dried to determine yield, and sub samples (500 g; four samples in the year) were ground to determine their chemical composition [crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), and acid detergent fiber (ADF)]. All pastures were mob grazed for 15 grazing cycles to determine changes in yield over time. Mean yield of Mulato (1,207 kg/ha), MarandCi (1,094 kg/ha) and Toledo (1,271 kg/ha) were different (P<0.05), but there were no differences in CP (6.8%). There was a cultivar effect (P<0.05) on NDF and ADF, with a lower NDF (64.6%) and ADF 33.6%) for Mulato. There was a grazing cycle date effect on yield (P<0.05) consistent with rainfall patterns in the Corozal area. After 1.5 years of grazing it is evident that all three cultivars persisted, but that grazing management is needed (longer periods of regrowth) during the dry periods
International currency and reserve plans

subject: E42, F31, F33

description: In occasion of some recent proposals on currency convertibility, the present work discusses and explains an up-to-date concept of “workable convertibility”. A thorough enquire leeds the author to the conclusion that a workable convertibility would not be incompatible with a certain amount of protection and restrictions, but would entail only the elimination of discrimination and more especially of bilateralism with respect to both trade and payments. Accordingly, a system of convertibility thus organised, while indispensable to the maintenance of international competition, would be subject to a major defect in that it would tend to spread “any deflationary pressures arising from an economic depression or from trade restrictions in one of the major trading centres.” To avoid this drawback, the author suggests a system of “collective arrangements giving operational meaning to the interdependence of the various countries’ policies.” JEL: E42, F31, F33

title: Schooling for conflict transformation : a case study from Northern Uganda
Creators: name: Cunningham, Jeremy James
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2014

description: Civil wars impede progress towards the Millennium Development Goals. As many conflicts erupt within a short time, it is important to know what may increase the chances of sustainable peace. Access to education is a factor but relatively little is known about the contribution of what students learn in school. This thesis aims to respond to a research gap by addressing the foll owing question: 'How can schooling contribute to conflict transformation?' Significant curricular approaches that may be used after civil war - peace education, human rights education and citizenship education - are assessed for their strengths and weaknesses. As no single approach is found to be sufficient for conflict transformation, a framework is proposed based on three fundamental concepts: (i) truth seeking; (ii) reconciliation; and (iii) inclusive citizenship. This framework is examined through a qualitative case study of curriculum in seven schools in a district in northern Uganda that is emerging from a twenty-year civil war. The curriculum of four primary schools, two secondary schools, one special school and one teacher training college was studied over a three-month period. A structure of knowledge, skills and values was used to research the framework at a detailed level. It is found that schools exhibit good socialization of reconciliation values and some development of problem-solving and communication skills. There is some understanding of human rights, but little knowledge of history, or of local, national and international political/legal systems. There is minimal development of discussion and critical thinking skills. It is argued that the framework can be used to investigate other schools and to inform the design of a curriculum that can contribute to conflict transformation, with the ultimate aim of reducing the risk of civil war re-eruption.
