description: I. T-Dem or the democratic question put back at the heart of economic governance. - II. The European Parliament, rather than an assembly of the Euro area. - III. The ways of strengthening the powers of the European Parliament. - IV. Taking into account the interest of the Euro area as a whole. - V. From democratic frustration to parliamentary challenge.
description: The Euro Area crisis has strengthened the European Union's power to monitor the national economic policies but it has left unchanged the accountability obligations, vis-à-vis the European Parliament, of both the EU intergovernmental institutions and the European Commission. In order to reduce this democratic deficit, Thomas Piketty et al. support the idea to create a new parliamentary body specific to the Euro Area. In contrast, this contribution advocates the strengthening of the powers of the European Parliament. It recommends the generalization of the ordinary legislative procedure within Economic and Monetary Union, and the creation of a "euro area" subcommittee within the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs or the creation of a parliamentary office for the evaluation of economic choices.

description: A new assembly proposed for the Eurozone can be qualified as realistic utopia. Indeed, the Overview supports the view that the draft Treaty on the Democratization of the Governance of the Euro area (T-Dem) offers a coherent proposal given past lessons from legislative and EU studies. This is particularly the case regarding: a) the multidimensional functions of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Euro area proposed; b) the fact that this assembly would have important and open decisions to make; c) the provision of 80 percent of national Members of the Parliaments within it; d) the high level of detail regarding the membership of the assembly. Yet, the provisions of the treaty call for some changes or precisions regarding basic features of the parliamentary matrix, notably: pluralism, transparency and permanency.

description: This paper addresses the application of infrared spectroscopy in combination with chemometrics to identify wall painting’s binding medium while employing pattern recognition techniques to process FTIR data-set of complex samples. In this regard, based on the historical documents and previous researches, firstly 56 standard samples were prepared to represent strata of Persian wall paintings in the Safavid period in addition to real historic samples from the case study; Sukias mansion. Then, each sample was analysed by the means of FTIR and chemometrics. Finally, SIMCA was applied to the whole region of studied IR spectra which predicted egg yolk as the binding medium of Sukias mansion samples.

Democratising the Eurozone, a constrained exercise. - III.1. Democratisation by politicisation? - III.2. Democratising without disintegrating?
description: The Overview starts by explaining why European Papers has invited scholars from different disciplines to comment the T-Dem draft written by Hennette, Piketty, Sacriste and Vauchez. It then focuses on the main reactions triggered by the Treaty draft. Although the four authors have provided a very innovative and stimulating Treaty draft, their project is fiercely criticised by scholars coming from very different fields and origins. Two main flaws of T-Dem are underlined in the Overview. First of all, the T-Dem draft, in its current version, fails to properly articulate democratisation and politicisation. Second of all, the four authors have not fully taken into account the possible negative impact of their democratisation endeavour on European integration.
On completely factoring any integer efficiently in a single run of an order finding algorithm

description: We show that given the order of a single element selected uniformly at random from $\mathbb Z_N^*$, we can with very high probability, and for any integer $N$, efficiently find the complete factorization of $N$ in polynomial time. This implies that a single run of the quantum part of Shor's factoring algorithm is usually sufficient. All prime factors of $N$ can then be recovered with negligible computational cost in a classical post-processing step. The classical algorithm required for this step is essentially due to Miller.
description: A minor issue in the proof of Lemma 2 has been corrected. Two references have furthermore been added, the introduction has been improved, and a number of other minor improvements have been made. No results are affected by this revision

description: The Draft Treaty on the Democratization of the Governance of the Euro Area (dubbed "T-Dem") is an academic project aimed at reducing the democratic deficit in the euro area by creating a Parliamentary Assembly of the Euro Area, outside of the EU institutional framework, which would exercise political control, exercise a legislative function and adopt a budget for the Member States of the Euro Area. Democratizing the governance of the Euro Area is certainly a priority; however, like any serious institutional endeavour, it is not without risks and challenges. The present Overview aims at providing a summary legal analysis of the project, focusing on its two main features. First, I will comment the project of the Assembly itself, analysing its powers and composition. Then, I will analyse the choice the authors of the draft made for an external institutionalisation, i.e. the creation of institutions outside of the European Union to deal with EU-related issues. I will contend that this choice raises questions of legality and constitutionality and generates legal complexities I call "legal costs".

description: This paper deals with three types of washing (enzyme, softener, Silicone) effects on 100% cotton Single Jersey T-shirt, Slub Single Jersey T-shirt, Double Lacoste (5% Lycra) Polo shirt, Single jersey CVC (T-shirt) and PC single Jersey (T-shirt). Typical industrial washing procedures and techniques were followed and then physico-mechanical properties were analyzed under standard condition. It is observed that after washing, weight of each garments has increased from 5% to 36%; stitch length of the constituted fabric has decreased from 1% to 10% approximately; CPI has increased 23% for CVC fabric only for enzyme treatment and for other process it has a little bit or no wash effects. Same effects found for WPI except 100% cotton and Double Lacoste. Shrinkage property both for lengthwise and widthwise remains the same except CVC and Double Lacoste knitted garments and spirality has almost unchanged except 100% cotton and slub fabric. Both the dry and wet rubbing properties have improved after any types of wash except 100% cotton on Silicone wash. Water absorbency property has increased; pH of all the samples is under controlled and lies between 4.5 and 5.0. But there is no significant change of colorfastness to wash and stain after these washing treatments.

description: Symmetries such as gauge invariance and anyonic symmetry play a crucial role in quantum many-body physics. We develop a general approach to constructing gauge invariant or anyonic symmetric autoregressive neural network quantum states, including a wide range of architectures such as Transformer and recurrent neural network (RNN), for quantum lattice models. These networks can be efficiently sampled and explicitly obey gauge symmetries or anyonic constraint. We prove that our methods can provide exact representation for the ground and excited states of the 2D and 3D toric codes, and the X-cube fracton model. We variationally optimize our symmetry incorporated autoregressive neural networks for ground states as well as real-time dynamics for a variety of models. We simulate the dynamics and the ground states of the quantum link model of $\text{U(1)}$ lattice gauge theory, obtain the phase diagram for the 2D $\mathbb{Z}_2$ gauge theory, determine the phase transition and the central charge of the $\text{SU(2)}_3$ anyonic chain, and also compute the ground state energy of the SU(2) invariant Heisenberg spin chain. Our approach provides powerful tools for exploring condensed matter physics, high energy physics and quantum information science.

description: T-Dem is not fully convincing, but it is a good start. Writing it has forced us to think in terms of the solution rather than in terms of the problem. But, in order to come up with the right answer, a good diagnosis needs to be made. In this Overview, I argue that the drafters of T-Dem have formulated an accurate diagnosis: economic governance is run by an opaque jumble of administrations, but fails to see that it is the result of the transformation of the Economic and Monetary Union into a meta-policy, reducing national political space for the benefit of transnational technocratic institutions. As this meta-policy is transnational by nature, a transnational assembly is a relevant solution. But the power vested in it are insufficient. Without any real political powers, the Parliamentary Assembly cannot reach the core of this meta-policy.

description: Online Knowledge Repositories (OKRs) like Wikipedia offer communities a way to share and preserve information about themselves and their ways of living. However, for communities with low-resourced languages -- including most African communities -- the quality and volume of content available are often inadequate. One reason for this lack of adequate content could be that many OKRs embody Western ways of knowledge preservation and sharing, requiring many low-resourced language communities to adapt to new interactions. To understand the challenges faced by low-resourced language contributors on the popular OKR Wikipedia, we conducted (1) a thematic analysis of Wikipedia forum discussions and (2) a contextual inquiry study with 14 novice contributors. We focused on three Ethiopian languages: Afan Oromo, Amharic, and Tigrinya. Our analysis revealed several recurring themes; for example, contributors struggle to find resources to corroborate their articles in low-resourced languages, and language technology support, like translation systems and spellcheck, result in several errors that waste contributors' time. We hope our study will support designers in making online knowledge repositories accessible to low-resourced language speakers.

description: O objetivo deste artigo é discutir a viabilidade econômica das empresas e a sustentabilidade como aspectos da gestão empresarial contemporânea. A viabilidade econômica foi polarizada durante séculos como o argumento central do desenvolvimento econômico, porém, conduziu o mundo a situação de crises múltiplas e a um grande desafio para as empresas, o de alcançar um modelo de negócio sustentável e menos predatório, sem gerar riscos para o negócio, sem desviá-los do core business e sem elevar os custos e perder lucratividade. Para discutir essa relação, realizamos um estudo partindo de uma análise bibliográfica focada em duas áreas: a viabilidade econômica baseada na moderna teoria de finanças e a responsabilidade social como aspecto determinante do sucesso dos negócios. Em seguida realizamos a análise de desempenho financeiro de empresas integrantes do Ibovespa (índice principal da bolsa de valores de São Paulo) comparando-as com empresas integrantes do ISE – Índice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial da mesma bolsa estabelecendo como condição que cada empresa analisada não fosse integrante dos dois índices simultaneamente. Os resultados apontam a existência de diferenças positivas de desempenho das empresas do ISE em relação às empresas do Ibovespa, confirmando a proposição levantada neste trabalho de que as empresas podem ser economicamente viáveis e sustentáveis simultaneamente e que os dois aspectos não são mutuamente excludentes. Este trabalho pode contribuir para a academia e para a gestão empresarial na medida em que provoca uma reflexão sobre a associação da sustentabilidade e da viabilidade econômica de negócios de forma complementar.

description: This dissertation investigates the correlation between brand awareness and sales in an identical product category, specifically, bottled water. Similar studies have been carried out in relation to low involvement, routine response behaviour. The studies generally support a strong correlation between brand awareness and sales. This has not been tested on an identical product category. There is little existing literature on the branding of identical products and this dissertation also investigates reasons consumers choose one brand over another The dissertation investigates top of mind recall, evoked set recall, aided and unaided brand recognition and establishes the relationship with sales/brand choice. Consumers were asked to recall and recognise brands and the combined answers were measured against sales figures.
It was found that there is a strong correlation between top of mind recall and sales and evoked set recall and sales. The relationship between aided and unaided brand recognition was found to be weak.
Finally, respondents were asked which country they prefer bottled water from and this was measured against the countries from the top of mind recall and it was found that there was no relationship.

description: Objective: Changes in medical therapy and surgery might have influenced the natural history of Crohn’s disease (CD). Our aim was to explore the short-term outcome of CD and to specifically assess trends in disease phenotype, medications and surgery in the first five years from diagnosis. Material and methods: A population-based cohort comprising 472 CD patients diagnosed within the primary catchment area of Örebro University Hospital 1963–2005 were identified retrospectively and described. Data on medication, surgery, progression in disease location and behavior, were extracted from the medical records. Patients were divided into three cohorts based on year of diagnosis. Results: The proportion of patients with complicated disease behavior five years after diagnosis decreased from 54.4% (95%CI, 43.9–65.6) to 33.3% (27.4–40.0) in patients diagnosed 1963–1975 and 1991–2005, respectively (p = 0.002), whereas the proportion of patients progressing to complicated disease behavior was stable among those with non-stricturing, non-penetrating disease at diagnosis (p = 0.435). The proportion of patients undergoing surgery decreased from 65.8% (55.4–76.0) to 34.6% (28.6–41.5) in patients diagnosed 1963–1975 and 1991–2005, respectively (p p = 0.001). Conclusions: We observed a striking decrease in complicated disease behavior and surgery five years after CD diagnosis, the latter largely due to a decrease in early surgery. Our findings suggest that the introduction of new treatments alone does not explain the reduction in surgery rates, the increasing proportion of patients with inflammatory disease at diagnosis also play an important role.

description: Bisphenol F (BPF) was found in mustard up to a concentration of around 8 mg kg−1. Contamination of the raw products or caused by the packaging could be ruled out. Also the fact that only the 4,4ʹ-isomer of BPF was detected spoke against a contamination from epoxy resin or other sources where technical BPF is used. Only mild mustard made of the seeds of Sinapis alba contained BPF. In all probability BPF is a reaction product from the breakdown of the glucosinolate glucosinalbin with 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol as an important intermediate. Hot mustard which was made only from brown mustard seeds (Brassica juncea) or black mustard seeds (Brassica nigra) contained no BPF. BPF is structurally very similar to bisphenol A and has a similar weak estrogenic activity. The consumption of a portion of 20 g of mustard can lead to an intake of 100 to 200 µg of BPF. According to a preliminary risk assessment, the risk of BPF in mustard for the health of consumers is considered as low, but available toxicological data are insufficient for a conclusive evaluation. It is a new and surprising finding, that BPF is a natural food ingredient and that this is the main uptake route. This insight sheds new light on the risk linked to the family of bisphenols.

title: From East to West and back again: A critical review of the cross-cultural consumption, collecting and historiography of Chinese ‘classic’ furniture from the Ming and early Qing dynasties
Creators: name: Fung, Helena
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2025

description: Chinese hardwood furniture enjoyed a renaissance during the twentieth century that saw furniture objects become an important part of national, public and private collections. Desirability among collectors and connoisseurs continues to increase as the significance and appreciation for classical Chinese furniture intensifies. Whilst the prominence and popularity of refined Chinese hardwood furniture has risen with alacrity, the art-historical discourse as it is understood both outside and within China was principally constructed through historiography formed in books on the subject published by Western writers during the first half of the twentieth century.

This thesis documents the cultural consumption, appreciation and collection of furniture made during the Ming and early Qing dynasties, between 1368 and 1735; a period described as the apex of Chinese furniture production. The research addresses the historiography and collecting of classic Chinese furniture, commencing in Europe and China in the 1920s and 30s when furniture from China for domestic use became of interest to Western collectors and scholars alike, with reference to the interpretation and consumption of furniture at the time of its making. The early Western pioneers of Chinese furniture were fundamental in disseminating a taste for elegant and deceptively simple Chinese furniture which placed it on a global platform and elevated furniture from fine craft to art object.

Despite its significance, the collecting and literature of Chinese historic furniture has not been subject to comprehensive academic review and remains to be critically examined in its entirety from historiographical and a theoretical perspective. The thesis systemises the 
activities of individual art historians, collectors and art market participants to provide an analytical and observational study of the development of Chinese furniture collecting and its accompanying literature. Analysis of the literary materials provides clarification and understanding of the development of the cultural history of classic Chinese furniture. To facilitate comparison with the social, visual and experiential perception of classic Chinese furniture as it was understood at the time of its production, the study will consider and cross-reference primary textual and visual evidence from the Ming and Qing dynasties with 20th Century and later literature on Chinese furniture. This overarching review of the historiography and sources relating to Chinese classic furniture may also shed light on widely held presumptions regarding the materials and presentation of classic Chinese furniture, including the importance and knowledge of particular wood types which have informed appreciation and collecting practices.

description: Easy observation methods to assess the colonization levels of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in plant roots are crucial for studying the biology of AM symbiosis and for considering agricultural use. Many AM studies employ Trypan Blue (TB) coupled with lactic acid to stain AM fungal structures as bright-field images; however, TB staining can be difficult to use owing to its noxiousness and high viscosity. Here, we report the development of an easy method for visualizing AM fungal structures as bright-field images using 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB). Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA)-conjugated horseradish peroxidase (HRP), which specifically targets N-acetylglucosamine polymers and detects AM fungal cell walls, penetrated the cortical layers of 10% potassium hydroxide (KOH)-treated soybean roots and stained AM fungal mycelia in the presence of DAB and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Comparison between DAB and TB staining of soybean (Glycine max L.) roots suggested that the intactness of root systems and image contrast using DAB staining were superior. Background signals in stele observed by DAB staining were negligible as compared with those observed by WGA-fluorescein isothiocyanate staining. DAB staining, which combines the advantages of TB (easy bright-field imaging) and WGA-fluorophore (specific and high-quality) staining, provides a robust imaging method for macro- and micro-level analyses of AM roots and is applicable to at least six crops: soybean, onion (Alium cepa L.), potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), maize (Zea mays L.), rice (Oryza sativa L.), and sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.).

description: Easy observation methods to assess the colonization levels of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in plant roots are crucial for studying the biology of AM symbiosis and for considering agricultural use. Many AM studies employ Trypan Blue (TB) coupled with lactic acid to stain AM fungal structures as bright-field images; however, TB staining can be difficult to use owing to its noxiousness and high viscosity. Here, we report the development of an easy method for visualizing AM fungal structures as bright-field images using 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB). Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA)-conjugated horseradish peroxidase (HRP), which specifically targets N-acetylglucosamine polymers and detects AM fungal cell walls, penetrated the cortical layers of 10% potassium hydroxide (KOH)-treated soybean roots and stained AM fungal mycelia in the presence of DAB and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Comparison between DAB and TB staining of soybean (Glycine max L.) roots suggested that the intactness of root systems and image contrast using DAB staining were superior. Background signals in stele observed by DAB staining were negligible as compared with those observed by WGA-fluorescein isothiocyanate staining. DAB staining, which combines the advantages of TB (easy bright-field imaging) and WGA-fluorophore (specific and high-quality) staining, provides a robust imaging method for macro- and micro-level analyses of AM roots and is applicable to at least six crops: soybean, onion (Alium cepa L.), potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), maize (Zea mays L.), rice (Oryza sativa L.), and sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.).

description: In this paper, we perform a systematic study of permutation statistics and bijective maps on permutations in which we identify and prove 122 instances of the homomesy phenomenon. Homomesy occurs when the average value of a statistic is the same on each orbit of a given map. The maps we investigate include the Lehmer code rotation, the reverse, the complement, the Foata bijection, and the Kreweras complement. The statistics studied relate to familiar notions such as inversions, descents, and permutation patterns, and also more obscure constructs. Beside the many new homomesy results, we discuss our research method, in which we used SageMath to search the FindStat combinatorial statistics database to identify potential homomesies.

description: The factor-augmented vector autoregressive (FAVAR) model is now widely used in macroeconomics and finance. In this model, observable and unobservable factors jointly follow a vector autoregressive process, which further drives the comovement of a large number of observable variables. We study the identification restrictions for FAVAR models, and propose a likelihood-based two-step method to estimate the model. The estimation explicitly accounts for factors being partially observed. We then provide an inferential theory for the estimated factors, factor loadings, and the dynamic parameters in the VAR process. We show how and why the limiting distributions are different from the existing results. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

Constructing on-shell operator basis for all masses and spins

description: We first propose a general method to construct the complete set of on-shell operator bases involving massive particles with any spins. To incorporate the non-abelian little groups of massive particles, the on-shell scattering amplitude basis should be factorized into two parts: one is charged, and the other one is neutral under little groups of massive particles. The complete set of these two parts can be systematically constructed by choosing some specific Young diagrams of Lorentz subgroup and global symmetry $U(N)$ respectively ($N$ is the number of external particles), without the equation of motion and integration by part redundancy. Thus the complete massive amplitude bases without any redundancies can be obtained by combining these two complete sets. Some examples are presented to explicitly demonstrate this method. This method is applicable for constructing amplitude bases involving identical particles, and all the bases can be constructed automatically by computer programs based on it.

description: Estimating body mass and locomotor habits of fossil rodents is challenging for taxa without available postcranial material. Although equations exist to estimate body mass from dental dimensions based on extant rodents, the applicability of such equations is doubtful given that modern rodents have evolved highly specialized teeth, whereas fossil taxa often exhibit a much less derived condition. For the present study, 11 cranial variables from a sample of 203 extant rodents of known body mass representing a range of taxonomic groups were assessed using reduced major axis (RMA) regression. The results show a strong correlation between body mass and each of the 11 cranial variables. The best estimators for body mass are skull length and cheek-tooth area, whereas the least reliable measures are palate length, and foramen magnum, as well as braincase and occipital condyle dimensions. We estimated body mass for specimens of five fossil Ischyromyidae rodents for which body mass had never been estimated (Paramys copei, P. delicatus, Reithroparamys delicatissimus, Rapamys atramontis, and Ischyromys typus). Principal components and canonical variates analyses based on 10 cranial dimensions for 103 members of Sciuromorpha demonstrate that a relationship exists between locomotor habits and cranial variables in this suborder. In these analyses, early ischyromyids are all placed in the terrestrial group with Aplodontia, Marmota, Cynomys, and Spermophilus. This contradicts previous hypotheses regarding early rodent locomotion, which suggested that they were arboreal or more generalized in their habits.
