Year: 2020

description: Il contributo offre una rilettura della figura del responsabile del procedimento, concentrandosi sulla responsabilità amministrativa in cui potrebbe incorrere nell’esercizio dei suoi compiti, per valorizzare i risvolti personali delle disfunzioni delle amministrazioni, anche al di là dello schermo della personalità giuridica dell’ente, e valutare l’eventuale incidenza della qualifica di responsabile del procedimento ai fini della configurabilità della responsabilità erariale. In particolare, dopo avere esaminato alcune sentenze della Corte dei conti riguardanti funzionari incaricati della responsabilità del procedimento e richiamato le principali fattispecie tipizzate di responsabilità amministrativa, il saggio si conclude con un’analisi del rapporto tra responsabile del procedimento e organo competente all’adozione del provvedimento finale, anche al fine di rimarcare il potere decisionale di quest’ultimo. The paper offers a rereading of the officer in charge of the administrative procedure on the light of his administrative liability, in order to enhance the personal implications of the dysfunctions of the administrations, beyond the screen of the legal personality of public authorities, and to evaluate the possible impact of the qualification of officer in charge of the administrative procedure for the assessment of the administrative liability. Specifically, after analyzing the jurisprudence of the Court of auditors on the administrative liability of the officer in charge of the administrative procedure and the typified cases of administrative liability, the paper ends with an analysis of the relationship between the officer in charge of the administrative procedure and the organ with competence for adoption of the final administrative act, also in order to emphasize the liability of the latter.

description: We consider generalized (possibly depending on fields as well as on space-time variables) gauge transformations and gauge symmetries in the context of general -- that is, possibly non variational nor covariant -- differential equations. In this case the relevant principal bundle admits the first jet bundle (of the phase manifold) as an associated bundle, at difference with standard Yang-Mills theories. We also show how in this context the recently introduced operation of $μ$-prolongation of vector fields (which generalizes the $\la$-prolongation of Muriel and Romero), and hence $μ$-symmetries of differential equations, arise naturally. This is turn suggests several directions for further development. S0ome detailed examples are also given.

description: The Tasmanian dairy industry is predominantly pasture-based and pasture consumption is a key driver of dairy farm profitability. Due to this, Tasmanian dairy research, development and extension has a focus on increasing the amount of pasture grown and consumed by dairy cows. At an industry level, average pasture consumption has increased from 8.5 t DM/ha to 10.6 t DM/ha over the past 10 years. Coaching is one of the extension methods used in the Tasmanian dairy industry to develop farmer skills in grazing management. Pasture coaching involves the formation of groups of 4-6 farmers by an extension officer who takes on the role of coach for the group. A pasture coaching group meets 8-10 times over a 12 month period. An assessment of the impact of pasture coaching on grazing management skills was undertaken in 2016-17 through pre-coaching and post- coaching surveys along with one-on-one farmer interviews. Pasture coaching resulted in practice change with more people undertaking best management practices including calculating average pasture cover and cow requirements and determining leaf stage. Not only did more people implement some of these best management practices but there was also an increased frequency that these practices were undertaken throughout the course of the pasture coaching program.

description: Ohio State University Extension has a long standing tradition of using on-farm research to enhance education through collaboration with farmers. Recently, to address the need for improved communication and sharing of research results, a team of Extension educators and researchers came together to formalize an on-farm research network. The program, eFields: Connecting Science to Fields, aims to be the premier source of research-based information in the age of digital agriculture. The program began in 2017 with 39 field-scale trials including high speed planting, corn and soybean seeding rate trials, corn nitrogen trials, and side dressing corn with manure using a drag hose. In 2018, over 100 trials were conducted in 23 counties. Analysis was expanded to include the economics of seeding rate, nitrogen rate and nitrogen timing studies to help farmers improve input decision making. Research results are reported in an annual publication that is available as a printed book and an electronic version at go.osu.edu/eFields. Implementation of results from the seeding rate trials alone on corn and soybean acreage across Ohio has the potential to generate $1 million USD in savings for farm managers.

description: This paper is devoted to the study of the leading twist distribution amplitudes of P-wave nonrelativistic mesons. It is shown that at the leading order approximation in relative velocity of quark-antiquark pair inside the mesons these distribution amplitudes can be expressed through one universal function. As an example, the distribution amplitudes of the P-wave charmonia mesons are considered. Within QCD sum rules the model for the universal function of P-wave charmonia mesons is built. In addition, it is found the relations between the moments of the universal function and the nonrelativistic QCD matrix elements that control relativistic corrections to any amplitude involving P-wave charmonia. Our calculation shows that characteristic size of these corrections is of order of ~30 %.

description: Whether it is for policy, strategy, developing resilience or extension there is a need to engage effectively with the farmers we work with, and often the communities that support them. The purpose of this paper is to outline and discuss an approach that puts farmers at the positive centre of the process, and begins with what is working well and generates new ideas from this positivity. The engagement uses a process known as Appreciative Inquiry which is both a philosophical approach and a practical tool. It approaches challenges from a positive mindset, building on what is working well, rather than a deficit approach of starting where something is broken. It draws out ideas as a proactive inquiry rather than a presentation of existing findings. This proactive engagement of farmers helps bring forward the diverse complexities and interrelationships that all need to align for successful extension or any other interaction to take place. An example is given of an on-farm Appreciative Inquiry workshop. The approach works best in a group where the participants can leverage off each otherâ€™s ideas and energy, and works most effectively for complex issues where the solution may not be obvious or easy.

Labour migration as a development strategy : policy lessons from the Philippines and Kerala (India) for Nepal
Creators: name: Adhikari, S
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Labour migration emerged after World War II as a national development strategy for developing countries and resulted in a surge of migrants moving across borders and sending back remittances. For developing countries the benefits of labour migration, including the opportunity to deploy surplus unemployed and under-employed workers abroad and to earn remittances. At the household level, such remittances enable families to pay for basic needs and services, including health and education; at the national level, they are the source of capital for productive investment. However, labour migration costs often outweigh the benefits, and these include death and injury overseas while working in dangerous, dirty and demeaning jobs; the ‚ÄövÑv¿brain-drain‚ÄövÑvp or loss of highly skilled professionals; and the rise in remittance-fuelled conspicuous consumption. This thesis investigates whether this is the case for Nepal, a land-locked, labour surplus, low-middle-income Asian economy. While it is noted that labour migration and remittances have contributed to poverty reduction in Nepal, there is evidence to indicate that it is also paying a high price in terms of deaths and injuries, and growing remittance dependency. Adopting a broad, qualitative, institutional political-economic framework, this thesis analyses the policy options available to Nepal to minimise the costs and maximise the benefits of labour migration. To do this, it investigates labour migration and remittance management in the Philippines and Kerala (India), as well as current practices in Nepal, employing a comparative case study approach. Drawing on the market and policy failure literatures, the thesis argues that Nepal can learn some lessons on how to upgrade its legislation to better protect migrant workers‚ÄövÑv¥ rights and welfare in line with the Philippines approach; and develop more attractive arrangements to ensure remittances are more productively invested in development projects in line with Kerala‚ÄövÑv¥s approach. However, the lacklustre performance of the Philippines and Kerala to mobilise labour migration for development indicates that merely emulating their policies will not be enough to tackle the identified market failures. Therefore, the thesis recommends that Nepal undertake a participatory governance process in the form of multi-stakeholder policy dialogue to identify the best approaches to balance benefits and costs and ensure labour migration contributes to Nepal‚ÄövÑv¥s longer-term development.

description: Different cross layer design for mobile adhoc network focuses on different optimization purpose, different Quality of Service (QoS) metric and the functions like delay, priority handling, security, etc. Existing cross layer designs provide individual solution for congestion control, fault tolerance, power conservation, energy minimization and flow control and the major drawback is of high cost and overhead. In this paper, we propose to design multiple cross layer design based architecture to provide a combined solution for link failure management, power conservation, congestion control and admission control. By simulation results, we show that the average end to end delay, average energy consumption and the packet loss are considerably reduced with the increase in high throughput and good delivery ratio.

description: Lo scritto riflette sul ruolo dell’organizzazione per la garanzia dei diritti, sul rapporto di condizionamento reciproco tra diritti ed organizzazione, e sul ruolo che gioca l’autonomia organizzatoria nella ricerca di un equilibrio tra vincoli organizzativi, limiti di risorse ed esigenze di massimizzazione dei diritti. Ne emerge l’idea di diritti sempre più affidati all’organizzazione, in un contesto nel quale emergono nuove tensioni tra la scelta di massimizzare in sede organizzativa alcuni diritti (protetti “by design”) e la capacità delle amministrazioni di assicurare, non ultimo attraverso scelte organizzative, adeguata soddisfazione ai diversi diritti che ha di fronte. The paper reflects on the role of the organization in guaranteeing rights, on the relationship of reciprocal conditioning between rights and organization, and on the role that organizational autonomy plays in the search for a balance between organizational constraints, resource limits and the needs of maximizing rights. The idea of rights increasingly entrusted to the organization emerges, in a context in which new tensions emerge between the choice to maximize certain rights in the organization (protecting them "by design") and the ability of administrations to ensure, not least through organizational choices, adequate satisfaction to the various rights it faces.

description: Produce auctions in the Ohio River Valley play an important role in the marketing of produce in the region. While smaller than urban-based terminal markets, these agriculture commodity aggregation points serve both local and regional buyers, providing access to wholesale markets otherwise too distant for smaller scale farmers in the area. Similar auctions have continued to start or expand throughout the Mid-South. The prices, quality, and quantity of the products distributed through these auctions vary throughout the marketing season and, subsequently, different kinds of buyers are attracted to bid. This study examines the evidence for structural market differences between early season, when prices are systematically higher, and peak season that can arise from different buyer needs relating to volume and distribution in local versus more regional outlets. Price and quantity records from two of the larger Kentucky auctions, the Fairview and Lincoln County Produce Auction are analyzed for seven different produce commodities during early and peak season. Four years of data are evaluated using structural difference regression equations to test for early versus peak temporal differences as well as specific auction effects. This information can assist produce auctions to establish market coordination with season extension and variously scaled market buyers.

description: Women have significant employment, management and ownership on Iowa farms. Farmwomen are willing to take on influential roles with education, research-based information and support. There is a critical need for education directed specifically to this group. The Iowa State University Extension and Outreach farm management team invested in 20 multi- session courses reaching 310 farm women in 2018. A logic model links investment in educational programs to resulting outcomes. Program evaluation demonstrates the ISU Extension farm management team has important roles in extending knowledge and empowering women. Transformational learning leads to improved farm profitability, new conservation practices adopted, and stronger networks among the community of women in agriculture. By improving agricultural sustainability, women in the industry are key stakeholders in the production of safe, accessible, and plentiful food.

description: The sheer scale of technology developments in the agricultural and food sectors is moving at a speed we have simply not experienced before. Significant advancements are already being made in the development of plant-based meat and milk alternatives, big data, artificial intelligence, lab cultured food proteins and blockchain technology, to name a few. We should not underestimate the effect of advanced technology developments occurring in the production and consumption of food proteins, and how these could irrevocably disrupt existing business models that have largely served commodity producers and processors for a long period of time. Critical to the future success of New Zealandâ€™s agricultural sectors will be our ability to quickly build the capabilities of highly motivated and talented individuals and entrepreneurial organisations in becoming more adept and agile in sensing and exploiting opportunities presented by new technologies and changing consumer preferences in an increasing dynamic market environment. This paper considers five different approaches that could be used in developing an innovative ecosystem and culture to build and develop the confidence and conviction of individuals in exploring new opportunities for New Zealandâ€™s agri-food and fibre products, or perhaps some other industry we havenâ€™t even thought about yet.

description: In Australia there are 52,140 broadacre (sheep, beef cattle and crop) farms. Few of these farms have been retained in the ownership of the same family for three or more generations. The majority are small and only thirty percent or 15,000 have any real chance of succession from a financial perspective. Following a literature review it became apparent that whilst there have been many studies on succession and farm business management, few if any, had compared the competencies, attributes, attitudes, skill of the owners of the businesses which have remained in the same family with those which have not. The aim of the study was to contrast farm businesses which are continuing to and beyond the third generation with farm businesses which have not been retained by the family or have been retained but are no longer viable.The case study method was chosen to conduct the research because it offered the opportunity to contrast and compare businesses of a similar size operation in a similar climatic and the same economic environment. The key attributes and actions of the people in the continuing businesses include; planning for succession long before they developed a succession plan, team work, a shared belief that the dual aims of succession and the satisfaction of self-interest of non- farming family members is possible and agreement on the end game.

description: Recently, superconductivity has been observed in twisted WSe$_2$ moiré structures (Xia et al., Nature 2024; Guo et al., Nature 2025). Its transition temperature is high, reaching a few percent of the Fermi temperature scale. Here, we advance a mechanism for superconductivity based on the notion that electronic topology enables quantum fluctuations in a suitable regime of intermediate correlations. In this regime, the Coulomb interaction requires that an active topological flat band and nearby wider bands are considered together. Compact molecular orbitals arise, which give rise to quantum fluctuations through topology-dictated hybridization with the other molecular orbitals. The hybridization competes with the active flat band's natural tendency towards static electronic ordering, thereby weakening the latter; we link this effect with certain salient observations by experiments. Furthermore, the competition yields a quantum critical regime where quasiparticles are lost. The corresponding quantum critical fluctuations drive superconductivity. Broader implications and new connections among correlated materials platforms are discussed.

description: A positive relationship between the farm business manager and their accountant is a key one in the management and success of the farm. While this relationship is very positive in many cases, Agricultural professionals believe that an increased understanding of farming financial literacy would benefit both parties. Feedback from accountants and farmers supports this. Historically, training programs and packages have focused on improving financial literacy skills of farmers. This paper considers a greater focus on agricultural financial literacy for accountants might be more successful, and proposes a model to deliver this. It also includes a checklist to assist farmers in reviewing their existing relationship with their accountant.

description: Oxygen vacancies (OVs), that charge-balance the replacement of octahedrally coordinated Si4+ by Al3+ in the mineral bridgmanite, will influence transport properties in the lower mantle but little is known about their stability and local structure. Using Al-27 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy we have characterized OVs within six aluminous bridgmanite samples. In the resulting NMR spectra sixfold, fivefold, and fourfold coordinated Al species are resolved, in addition to near eightfold coordinated Al substituting for Mg. Fivefold coordinated Al is formed by single OV sites but fourfold coordination must result from short range ordering of OVs, producing OV clusters that may form through migration into twin domain walls. Characterizing the occurrence of such OV structures is an important prerequisite for understanding how transport properties change with depth and composition in the lower mantle. Plain Language Summary The lower mantle encompasses the largest region of the Earth's interior and is mainly composed of the perovskite-structured mineral (Mg,Fe,Al)(Al,Si)O-3 bridgmanite. Its properties, therefore, control both the diffusive transport of elements and solid state flow in the lower mantle, which will be strongly influenced by point defects. We have identified and quantified defects in bridgmanite that arise from the replacement of silicon by aluminum and result in the creation of a vacant oxygen site. These oxygen defects are also found to form clusters in the structure, which in other perovskite structured minerals have been shown to strongly affect physical properties. As defect formation and ordering is dependent on composition and pressure, strong variations in physical properties may be expected within the upper 300 km of the lower mantle.

Creators: name: Neuhäusler, Josef
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED

description: Im Mittelpunkt der vorliegenden Arbeit steht die Abschätzung der Lebensdauer geschweißter Verbindungen unter Berücksichtigung elastisch-plastischer Kerbdehnungen.
Auf Basis des dehnungsbasierten Konzepts wird ein Berechnungskonzept weiterentwickelt. Dazu werden unterschiedliche Modellierungsvarianten untersucht und diskutiert. 
Das Berechnungskonzept liefert einen Vorschlag für das Dauerfestigkeitsniveau zum Nachweis mit Schädigungsparametern basierend auf P_SWT und P_J. Damit wird grundsätzlich ein Nachweis im Bereich der Kurzzeit-, Zeit- und Dauerfestigkeit ermöglicht. 

Die unterschiedlichen Modellierungsvarianten untersuchen den Einfluss des Detaillierungsgrads der Finite-Elemente-Modellierung auf die prognostizierte Lebensdauer der Schweißverbindung bis zum Anriss. 

Zusätzlich zur Untersuchung diskreter Nahtgeometrieparameter wird eine Monte-Carlo-Simulation mit variabler Schweißnahtgeometrie durchgeführt. Daraus werden schließlich Teilsicherheitsbeiwerte abgeleitet, welche eine Ergänzung zu einem bestehenden Sicherheitskonzept darstellen.

Um den Berechnungsaufwand zehntausender Simulationen bewältigen zu können, werden neuronale Netze generiert. Damit kann eine Schätzung der lokalen Kerbbeanspruchungen in kürzester Zeit erfolgen. 
Eine Sensitivitätsstudie mit den neuronalen Netzen liefert Erkenntnisse zum Einfluss einzelner Geometrieparameter auf die Kerbbeanspruchung.

Zur Validierung der Konzeptvarianten mit den verschiedenen Modifikationen wird eine umfangreiche experimentelle Datenbasis von Schweißverbindungen angesetzt. Die Probekörper aus dem Werkstoff X6CrNiTi18-10 wurden mit 84 Einzelversuchen bei konstanten Amplituden geprüft. Neben sieben unterschiedlichen Probengeometrien wurden Schweißverbindungen mit nachbearbeiteten oder nicht nachbearbeiteten Schweißnahtübergängen getestet.
Weitere 144 Versuchsergebnisse mit den Werkstoffen S960M und X6CrNiTi18-10 bilden eine Grundlage zur Validierung mit einem zweiten Werkstoff.

Grundsätzlich zeigt sich, dass der Nachweis mit idealisierter Kerbgeometrie nach den IIW-Empfehlungen in Kombination mit einer umgerechneten und für N<10^4 erweiterten Kerbspannungswöhlerlinie möglich ist. Eine tendenziell bessere Übereinstimmung zwischen Modellberechnung und Experiment ergibt die Verwendung der realen Schweißnahtgeometrie.
Die abgeleiteten Teilsicherheitsbeiwerte erlauben eine sichere Auslegung von Schweißverbindungen, insbesondere im Bereich der Kurzzeitfestigkeit.

description: We consider dense coding with partially entangled states on bipartite systems of dimension $d\times d$, studying the conditions under which a given number of messages, $N$, can be deterministically transmitted. It is known that the largest Schmidt coefficient, $λ_0$, must obey the bound $λ_0\le d/N$, and considerable empirical evidence points to the conclusion that there exist states satisfying $λ_0=d/N$ for every $d$ and $N$ except the special cases $N=d+1$ and $N=d^2-1$. We provide additional conditions under which this bound cannot be reached -- that is, when it must be that $λ_0

description: Globally, tertiary institutions are struggling with how best to respond to the growing industry demand for Agribusiness graduates. Mainstream â€˜business colleges and schoolsâ€™ are potential candidates to deliver agribusiness programs. Firstly, we describe what agribusiness scholarship is, then what type of curricula and teachers underpin good scholarship. Historically, more successful agribusiness programs, evolved from agricultural colleges and land grant universities. Based on literature review, case study and personal experience, we consider prospects for delivery of agribusiness programs by mainstream business colleges and schools. In identifying and discussing sixteen (16) factors, we conclude that, except in all but a very few isolated instances, business schools have poorer understanding of the complexity of agribusiness and farm management scholarship. Furthermore, business schools are often ill equipped in the underpinning philosophical requirements for agribusiness education and training. We suggest a major change in philosophy, built around inductive multidisciplinary delivery capacity is essential for most mainstream business colleges and schools to be appropriate vehicles for agribusiness and farm management scholarship.

description: The Farm Business Resilience Programâ€™s delivery of the Farm Planning training program in Western Australia has delivered improved short to medium term, physical, financial, social and environmental outcomes for farm businesses. Through the delivery of an experiential â€œlearning journeyâ€, using multidisciplinary facilitation teams to build strategic management plans led to improved strategic decision-making and business performance. Reported here is a range of benchmark performance indicators, which were unavailable at IFMA 21 - where attitude changes and plans to adapt and or transform farming practices were evident. Subsequent analysis indicates participants in the program show lower operating costs, improved return on capital, better operating profits/Ha, and improved indicators of â€˜resilienceâ€™. The shift in performance is in areas potentially most affected by climate change â€“ the low and medium rainfall areas of Western Australia. Compared to other modes of farm management training, manifest here are the indications of practice change and the benefits of a facilitated learning journey to build capacity and innovation through strategic planning. There are clear implications for Government policy.

A Qualitative Exploration of Nigerian Offshore Oil Field Workers’ Eating Habits and Physical Activity
Creators: name: Ihesiulo, Chukwuemeka Uzoamaka

description: Unhealthy eating habits and physical inactivity have been associated with overweight and obesity (Yoshioka et al., 2005; Chourdakis et al., 2010; Parkes, 2002; Froom et al., 1996) and identified as risk factors for illnesses, accidents, occupational injuries and disorders, including among offshore oilfield workers (Parkes, 1998; Gibson Smith et al., 2018a; Kong et al., 2012; Chau et al., 2004; Froom et al., 1996). The above evidence raises concern for the offshore oilfield population (Gibson Smith et al., 2018a) among whom unhealthy eating, physical inactivity, overweight and obesity have been found (Oshaug et al., 1992; Light and Gibson, 1986; Gibson Smith, et al., 2015; Gibson Smith, 2016; Gibson Smith, 2018b; Chen, Wong, and Yu, 2008; Mearns, Hope, and Reader, 2006), and highlights the need for a strong evidence base on eating and physical activity behaviours among that population, with a view to understanding them better and proffering more effective behaviour change interventions. This research study aimed to explore Nigerian offshore oilfield workers’ eating habits and physical activity, the work-related and socio-cultural factors that underpin the behaviours and, the workers’ perception of the concepts of healthy eating and physical activity. It utilised a qualitative research design and the sample consisted of twenty-two Nigerian offshore oilfield workers recruited through snowball sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews conducted face-to-face or through Skype and thematically analysed. Data collection and analysis was conducted between August 2017 and April 2019. The research work drew on the social determinants of health model (Dahlgren and Whitehead, 1991) as a theoretical framework and was underpinned by the social constructionist philosophical perspective. The findings reveal a high consumption of carbohydrates, red meat, fatty and sugary foods, overeating and a general pattern of low participation in physical activity among the participants. The study also shows that offshore oilfield workers’ eating habits and physical activity are determined by organisational and national cultures, free access to abundant food, lack of food portion control, the physical offshore living and working environment and, the offshore social environment. It further reveals that while several of the participants associate healthy eating with nourishment of the body, others perceive it as eating food that helps them perform their work efficiently.

description: The Extensible Quality Standard for Institutional Publishing (EQSIP) seeks to ensure the quality and transparency of governance, processes and workflows in institutional publishing and addresses the seven core components of scholarly publishing outlined in the Diamond Open Access (OA) Action Plan (Ancion et al. 2022, 4), which were subsequently revised and modified by the DIAMAS project team. The EQSIP is developed in two stages: the first version, EQSIP V1.0 detailed below, is based on an analysis of the existing standards, best practices, evaluation criteria, guidelines and recommendations which have been identified as relevant for institutional publishers (IPSP best practice report).

It is important to stress from the outset that EQSIP V1.0 is aspirational: it represents an attempt at outlining what we believe is an ideal quality level that Diamond Open Access (OA) IPSPs would adhere to. This emphatically does not imply that Diamond OA IPSPs are currently expected to conform to this standard. EQSIP V1.0 should be seen as an aspirational gold standard: a measure of quality that IPSPs strive to meet, and that serves as a point of reference against which current IPSPs may be compared, and that they can hopefully conform to in good time and with appropriate support.

EQSIP V1.0 will be further tested with a representative sample of IPSPs selected from the landscape survey to be conducted in the DIAMAS project, and the results of the testing will be used to conduct a gap analysis of the IPSP landscape and to develop EQSIP V2.0. The goal of EQSIP V2.0 will be to adapt, refine, and co-create versions of EQSIP V1.0 that are best suited for specific scholarly disciplines, regions, and languages. The various versions of EQSIP V2.0 will only be fully implemented once all the necessary infrastructure for supporting Diamond OA IPSPs is in place.
