description: In crop insurance design, the yield guarantee and the premium are very important parameters, both of which depend upon the yield distribution. Accordingly, the accurate modeling of yield distribution is essential for designing crop insurance contracts. This study employs historical county-level yield data for irrigated and dry wheat in East Azarbaijan Province, Iran for 1975-2013 to evaluate the effects of five alternative parametric distributions and generate the area yield crop insurance premiums. Results indicated that, in almost all cases, the premium rates with alternative distributions significantly differed from each other and that the beta distribution fitted the data the best except for some series for which the weibull distribution was the best. The results showed that premiums for wheat vary from 246,000 IRR per hectare in the coverage of 65% for Miyaneh to 460,000 IRR per hectare for Tabriz, and for dry wheat they vary from 265,000 IRR per hectare for Tabriz to 680,000 IRR per hectare for Maragheh. Moreover, it was found that the calculated premiums were less than traditional premiums, which would be affordable for both insured and insurers. The insured will pay lower premiums, and because the new methods are used to calculate the indemnities in this contract, and therefore there is no need for attending in individual farms to calculate the loss; it will be useful for the insurers, too.

description: The main objective of this study was to identify and explain the factors affecting the efficiency of human resources in the processing industry (rice) in Guilan Province. The statistical population consisted of officials and personnel working in rice mills that had at least a high school diploma and experts on rice processing industry in Agriculture Organization that, according to the relevant authorities, 3750 people in rice workshops and 130 people were working in the Agricultural Jihad Organization in Guilan Province. Out of them, a sample of 350 participants were selected by stratified and cluster sampling. To collect data, labor productivity questionnaire and ACHIEVE model containing 24 items were used. The reliability of this study was estimated by a Cronbach's alpha, which was equal to 0.90 and was indicative of high reliability of the questionnaire. To analyze the data, one sample t-test was employed using SPSS software. The results of the study revealed that employees had the required ability, understanding, organizational support, motivation, feedback, reliability, and compatibility. The results also suggested that there was not statistically significant difference between men and women in terms of the productivity of human resources. Human resources productivity was different between different age groups. According to the average productivity of human resources in different age categories, the average productivity of human resources among people ranging in age from 20-30 years was more likely than others. Analysis of variance in comparing the average of the four groups (diploma, associate degree, undergraduate, and graduate) with a significant level up to 0.05 showed that there was no statistically significant difference between people with different educational levels with the efficiency of human resources.

description: It is shown that the Calogero-Moser models based on all root systems of the finite reflection groups (both the crystallographic and non-crystallographic cases) with the rational (with/without a harmonic confining potential), trigonometric and hyperbolic potentials can be simply supersymmetrised in terms of superpotentials. There is a universal formula for the supersymmetric ground state wavefunction. Since the bosonic part of each supersymmetric model is the usual quantum Calogero-Moser model, this gives a universal formula for its ground state wavefunction and energy, which is determined purely algebraically. Quantum Lax pair operators and conserved quantities for all the above Calogero-Moser models are established.

description: The possibility of having a delocalization transition in the 1D de Moura-Lyra class of models (having a power-spectrum $\propto q^{-α})$ has been the object of a long standing discussion in the literature, filled with ambiguities. In this letter, we report the first numerical evidences that such a transition happens at $α=1$, where the localization length (measured from the scaling of the conductance) is shown to diverge as $(1-α)^{-1}$. The persistent finite-size scaling of the data is shown to be caused by a very slow convergence of the nearest-neighbor correlator to its infinite-size limit, and controlled by the choice of a proper scaling parameter. This last conclusion leads to the re-interpretation of the localization in these models to be caused by an effective Anderson uncorrelated model at small length-scales. Finally, the numerical results are confirmed by analytical perturbative calculations which are built on previous work.

description: Agroforests are model systems for ecological conservation in tropical agricultural landscapes because they integrate biodiversity conservation and rural livelihoods. Whether agroforests are long-term solutions for conserving biodiversity in agricultural landscapes may depend sapling regeneration of native forest trees in agroforests. In this dissertation, I ask two main questions: are native forest trees regenerating in agroforests and if so, what are the ecological and social drivers? I tested the influence of potential seed sources from both the landscape and parent trees found in the agroforest. I also examined how a set of social factors affected native forest tree regeneration. The social drivers I tested include tree management and use, land tenure and state-restricted rights to harvest native timber. I found that a number of native pioneer species are regenerating at relatively high frequencies and abundances. I also found that many secondary native forest tree species are also regenerating although their sapling are found less frequently and at lower abundances. Most primary forest tree species present as adults are not regenerating and lacked sapling in the agroforests. The influence of the ecological factors was limited. The main drivers of native forest tree regeneration on farms are the understorey management and the rural extension services that assisted farms obtain state-restricted rights.

description: According to experts, the inefficient agricultural sector has a dominant role in degrading water resources all over the world. Farmers’ conservational behavior is an important aspect of new integrated water management studies. Relevantly, various behavioral theories have been proposed in the field of environmental psychology. The main objective of the present comparative analysis and review study was to explain foundations of the most remarkable water conservation behavioral theories, classify them, and finally, present a critical discussion on the better application of each theory to explain the farmers' Water Conservation Behaviors (WCBs). This study is based on the documentary research method which was accomplished using a systematic literature review. The comparison analysis of existing theories indicates that the “theory selection” should be consistent with the “type of behavior under study”. Consequently, it is recommended to adopt the theories like Planned Behavior Theory and Reasoned Action Theory to illustrate the private-sphere WCBs such as farmers’ willingness to pay for water conservation because these behaviors are directly associated with the farmers’ personal interests. With respect to those conservational behaviors with participatory and collective nature, an individual may ignore his/her short-sighted and immediate benefits to achieve collective and long-term interests. In such a case, the use of moral approach and its relevant theories, including the Value-Belief-Norms Theory and the Norm Activation Theory, seems to be more appropriate. Consequently, agricultural practitioners and researchers are recommended to use rational approach theories to analyze the WCBs of farmers.

description: In February 1901, the London Brighton and South Coast Railway submitted plans to Brighton County Borough Council and the Local Government Board to build 125 artisan dwellings in Compton Road and Inwood Crescent. Under legislation for the housing of the working classes, this development was a rehousing scheme to replace dwellings which were to be demolished to make room for an extension to the Brighton Railway Goods Yard. It produced a legacy of good-quality housing, but as a rehousing scheme it was a failure because very few people from the demolished houses became tenants.

description: This research investigated the effectiveness of IPM/FFS project from economic, technical, social-communicative, environmental and psychological aspects in a descriptive-correlational design based on the survey method. The research population consisted of 70 greenhouse producers that had implemented IPM/FFS project in Tehran and Alborz provinces, Iran. Using Krejcie and Morgan (1970)'s sample size table and stratified random sampling method, 55 greenhouse producers were selected as the research sample. A questionnaire was the main tool for data collection. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by a panel of agricultural extension and education experts and its reliability was confirmed by calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficients (0.77≤α≤0.86). The results showed that the IPM/FFS project has affected social-communicative, psychological, environmental, technical and economic factors, respectively. There were positive and significant relationships between effectiveness of the IPM/FFS project and education, the duration of IPM implementation, satisfaction with governmental support and the characteristics of IPM/FFS learning sites whilst the effectiveness of IPM/FFS project was negatively and significantly related to age and greenhouse area under IPM project. According to multiple regression analysis, the variables of IPM/FFS learning sites, education and satisfaction with governmental supports could account for 66 percent of variance of the effectiveness of IPM/FFS project. Finally, as implementation cost of integrated pest management is usually beyond greenhouse producers’ financial ability, it is suggested that the government provide greenhouse producers with more economic supports (e.g. granting loan and special facilities and guaranteed purchase of organic products).
Nationalism-as-Technology and Peace in Europe, 1815-1914

description: This study offers a theory in which nationalism is not only conducive to war -which is the conventional wisdom-, but also brings peace to entire groupings of states under a specific set of conditions. After the theory is laid out, a plausibility probe of 19th century Europe offers good justification for a continued research program of nationalism-as-technology and its effects.
The theory's insight comes from seeing nationalism not as an ideology, but as a form of military technology. For such technologies, their effect on war depends on how widely all countries employ them. When everyone has the same technology (i.e. when all countries are similarly endowed with nationalism), peace is cemented because countries mutually deter each other from launching wars of conquest. They do this by building mass armies to offset that of their neighbors, and threaten would-be conquerors with costly guerrilla wars and insurgencies. (Conversely, if only a few states possess the technology, the temptation to abuse it in conflict does rise.) The theoretical section of this study first justifies this analytical possibility of seeing nationalism as a technology. Among other things, the absence of definitional stumbling blocks is discussed. That is, given how technology is broadly defined by leading technologists, there is nothing inherent in the concept of nationalism that prevents its consideration as a technology. The study then proceeds to derive a series of hypotheses about the curvilinear effects of nationalism on war across a given region.
As mentioned, the primary case study is 19th century Europe (1815-1914), which lends itself to a plausibility probe. The results are corroborating. Napoleonic France first "discovered" nationalism as a technology with military applications - it formed the first mass armies and attempted continental conquest. Later on, other "early-adopters" also employed nationalism to take land from their neighbors. Sardinia, for instance, used Italian nationalism to build volunteer armies and fight Austria for control of northern Italy in 1859. But the early adopters were then followed by most other European countries, which took reins of their own nationalisms to build mass-armies and boost their defenses. In line with the theory, the widespread adoption of nationalism preceded two whole generations of European peace, from 1871 to 1914. (So rare was this long peace that it would not be equaled until after World War II.) In sum, the history of the 1800s seems to fit broadly with the theory, and gives good reason for continued research into the pacifying role of nationalism.

description: Non-linear electrical transport studies at high-pulsed magnetic fields, above the range accessible by DC magnets, are of direct fundamental relevance to the physics of superconductors, domain-wall, charge-density waves, and topological semi-metal. All-superconducting very-high field magnets also make it technologically relevant to study vortex matter in this regime. However, pulsed magnetic fields reaching 100 T in milliseconds impose technical and fundamental challenges that have prevented the realization of these studies. Here, we present a technique for sub-microsecond, smart, current-voltage measurements, which enables determining the superconducting critical current in pulsed magnetic fields, beyond the reach of any DC magnet. We demonstrate the excellent agreement of this technique with low DC field measurements on Y$_{0.77}$Gd$_{0.23}$Ba$_2$Cu$_3$O$_7$ coated conductors with and without BaHfO$_3$ nanoparticles. Exploring the uncharted high magnetic field region, we discover a characteristic influence of the magnetic field rate of change ($dH/dt$) on the current-voltage curves in a superconductor. We fully capture this unexplored vortex physics through a theoretical model based on the asymmetry of the vortex velocity profile produced by the applied current.

description: Although non-IT employees have received considerable attention in security research, IT employees have received scant attention, even though they might be very different to non-IT employees. To address this gap, we developed a model based on protection motivation theory, deterrence theory and the theory of reasoned action. We conducted a quantitative survey of IT employees to determine which factors influenced their information security behavioural intentions. Although sometimes contrary to findings regarding non-IT employees, the influential factors were: self-efficacy; and perceived impact of a potential event; with cues to action exerting a significant influence on that perceived impact. These results have significant academic and practical implications.

description: This dissertation argues that a particular—and often overlooked—strand of natural law theory played an essential role in arguments for the secularization of political power in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Between the start of the Protestant Reformation (1517) and the English Restoration (1660), European conceptions of political and legal authority underwent a series of sweeping changes. Among the most drastic of these changes was the secularization of the idea of civil authority, which consisted of three developments. First, the legitimacy of civil sovereigns was no longer dependent on religious qualifications. Heretics and pagans could hold legitimate civil authority over Christian subjects. Second, civil authority came to be seen as the product of human agency rather than divine will alone. Kings were placed on their thrones by their subjects and were thus accountable to the communities they governed. Third, civil jurisdiction was limited to the pursuit and enforcement of temporal goods: civil peace, personal security, and the public virtues necessary for these ends. Civil sovereigns no longer had the right to determine citizens’ religious, spiritual, or supernatural obligations. My dissertation demonstrates that these three developments were made possible by the philosophical framework of natural law, which was deployed by both Catholic and Protestant political thinkers of this period.

description: In 2006, the Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) government led by Evo Morales took power in Bolivia. This government, supported by a pro-indigenous, anti-neoliberal electorate, has espoused indigenous rights and protections against neoliberal development in Bolivia’s national policies and Constitution. Through a case study of Bolivia’s Santa Cruz department, this paper examines Bolivia’s evolving state-social relationship and its increasingly divergent policies on economic development and indigenous rights. Santa Cruz’ marked presence of the transnational soy industry demonstrate the economic, social, and cultural rights challenges of a postneoliberal, pro-indigenous Bolivia. This research investigates the nexus between transnational agribusiness and the indigenous rights movement in the Bolivian context, and the social movement strategies and response to the MAS’ contradictory policies.

Families--Nutrition

description: Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by the ingestion of gluten, which is found in wheat, barley, and rye. The only treatment for celiac disease is a strict gluten-free diet (GFD), which eliminates common gluten-containing foods found in many cultures and cuisines.
      This research examined how families experienced celiac disease and the GFD in their households, focusing on the ripple effect of celiac disease for all members of the family and how families promoted adherence and quality of life (QOL). A mixed-methods approach used questionnaires, photographs, and semi-structured interviews with families recruited from the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University Medical Center. Participants were 16 families with children ages 8-18 living at home who had physician-confirmed diagnoses of celiac disease. A total of 71 in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted (n =16 reference children with celiac disease, 16 mothers, 15 fathers, 24 siblings).
      Results showed that the reference children with celiac disease had high GFD adherence (mean CDAT = 9) and QOL (mean CDPQOL 81 of 100). Mothers’ and fathers’ ratings of how their child’s celiac disease diagnosis affected their lifestyle, social life, and level of burden in caring for child’s dietary needs differed significantly (all p-values < 0.05), with mothers reporting more change and burden. Emerging themes related to a negative ripple effect included the burden of assuming the majority of food tasks related to GFD (mothers), the limited restaurant choices for the family (fathers), and feeling annoyed by having to limit certain foods at home (siblings). Emerging themes related to a positive ripple effect, included becoming more creative cooks (mothers), incorporating new family traditions (fathers), and developing empathy for others (siblings).
      Overall, there was substantial evidence of a ripple-effect of a child’s celiac disease diagnosis on other family members, including how mothers and fathers may experience the change in lifestyle and added responsibilities of maintaining the GFD differently. Including parents and siblings in research provides insight into the entire family experience and can help inform family-centered interventions on how to maximize QOL for everyone impacted by a child’s celiac disease diagnosis.
Quantum cosmology in the energy representation

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Hawking minisuperspace model (closed FRW geometry with a homogeneous massive scalar field) provides a fairly non-trivial testing ground for fundamental problems in quantum cosmology. We provide evidence that the Wheeler-DeWitt equation admits a basis of solutions that is distinguished by analyticity properities in a large scale factor expansion. As a consequence, the space of solutions decomposes in a preferred way into two Hilbert spaces with positive and negative definite scalar product, respectively. These results may be viewed as a hint for a deeper significance of analyticity. If a similar structure exists in full (non-minisuperspace) models as well, severe implications on the foundations of quantum cosmology are to be expected. Semiclassically, the elements of the preferred basis describe contracting and expanding universes with a prescribed value of the matter (scalar field) energy. Half of the basis elements have previously been constructed by Hawking and Page in a wormhole context, and they appear in a new light here. The technical tools to arrive at these conclusions are transformations of the wave function into several alternative representations that are based on the harmonic oscillator form of the matter energy operator, and that are called oscillator, energy and Fock representation. The framework defined by these may be of some help in analyzing the Wheeler-DeWitt equation for other purposes as well.

The helicity of the emission is selected due to the lifting of the degeneracy of the $\pm 1$ spin levels at \textbf{K} $\sim 0$. At short times after a pulsed excitation $\wp$ reaches very large values, either positive or negative, as a result of stimulated scattering to the spin level of lowest energy ($+1/-1$ spin for positive/negative detuning).

description: We present a detailed description of experimental studies of the parity violation effect in an isotopic chain of atomic ytterbium (Yb), whose results were reported in a recent Letter [Antypas et al., Nat. Phys. 15, 120 (2019)]. We discuss the principle of these measurements, made on the Yb 6s$^2$ $^1$S$_0 \rightarrow $5d6s $^3$D$_1$ optical transition at 408 nm, describe the experimental apparatus, and give a detailed account of our studies of systematic effects in the experiment. Our results offer the first direct observation of the isotopic variation in the atomic parity violation effect, a variation which is in agreement with the prediction of the Standard Model. These measurements are used to constrain electron-proton and electron-neutron interactions, mediated by a light $Z'$ boson.

description: During research on the Great War camps at Seaford, the authors located a set of 1916 plans in the Canadian national archives. Not only was Seaford covered but also the camps at Crowborough and Shoreham. These extensive sites have all but disappeared and the plans therefore provide an invaluable insight into the three divisional camps in the county. The plans have been redrawn and colour coded for reproduction here along with a brief explanatory narrative.

description: The metadata about scientific experiments published in online repositories have been shown to suffer from a high degree of representational heterogeneity---there are often many ways to represent the same type of information, such as a geographical location via its latitude and longitude. To harness the potential that metadata have for discovering scientific data, it is crucial that they be represented in a uniform way that can be queried effectively. One step toward uniformly-represented metadata is to normalize the multiple, distinct field names used in metadata (e.g., lat lon, lat and long) to describe the same type of value. To that end, we present a new method based on clustering and embeddings (i.e., vector representations of words) to align metadata field names with ontology terms. We apply our method to biomedical metadata by generating embeddings for terms in biomedical ontologies from the BioPortal repository. We carried out a comparative study between our method and the NCBO Annotator, which revealed that our method yields more and substantially better alignments between metadata and ontology terms.

description: The higher dimensional spherical symmetric scalar field collapse problem is studied in the light of the critical behavior in black hole formation. To make the analysis tractable, the self similarity is also imposed. By giving a new view to the self-similar scalar field collapse problem, we give the general formula for the critical exponents in higher dimensions. In the process, the explanation of the universality of the critical phenomena is given within the self-similar context.

Nature, History, and the Sacred in the Medieval Ruins of Delhi

Subjects: Ethnology

description: This dissertation focuses on the transformation of Islamic theology through the experience of everyday life and politics in contemporary Delhi, as well as the changing role of nature and ecology in the experience of the sacred, across religious communities, in the post-colonial city. In the ruins of a fourteenth century palace in the center of modern Delhi, Hindus and Muslims from various castes and communities come to deposit photocopies of letters petitioning saintly jinn (superhuman spirits) for fulfillment of their personal and spiritual needs, many of them forming relationships with each other that could not exist outside this space. Firoz Shah Kotla is just one of several sacralized medieval Muslim ruins in the contemporary city. Through ethnographic and archival fieldwork, this dissertation investigates the sacredness of these ruins and their relation to the history of the city and to contemporary urban life. In Delhi, ruins are the anarchic spaces within the modern city where the pre-modern past, unregulated leisure time, and the experience of nature come together. The ruins serve as the ritual and social centers for a broader idea of religion, shared across caste and religious communities, which encompasses ethical orientations towards the self and the world linked to pre-modern ideas of justice, the valuation of dreams and visions, and an idea of nature as being inherently moral and miraculous. For both Hindus and Muslims, this broader idea of religion is linked to Islam. The sacral popularity of particular ruins emerges in the aftermath of traumatic violence inflicted by the colonial and post-colonial states, making them sites of apotropaic magic against "the magic of the modern (state)."

description: Although agriculture has a major role in economy, in general, and employment opportunities for unemployed population, in particular, limited ability of individuals to recognize entrepreneurial opportunities in agriculture has reduced the share of agriculture in employment. Therefore, the enhancement of opportunity recognition skills among individuals in the agriculture sector is believed to solve unemployment challenges. Social capital is a rich source of information that permits the individuals to identify different combinations of the means-ends in the creation of new products or services for a particular market. Thus, this study sought to explore the role of social capital components in agricultural entrepreneurial opportunity recognition in Kermanshah province. The statistical population of this study consisted of all agricultural entrepreneurs in Kermanshah province (N=136), 102 of them were selected as the sample of the study based on Krejcie and Morgan’s sampling table and the use of a proportional stratified sampling method. The main instrument in this study was a questionnaire whose validity was confirmed by a panel of experts; its average variance was extracted, and its discriminant validity and reliability coefficient was established by using a Cronbach's alpha as well as the composite reliability index. Data were analyzed by SPSSV23 and Smart PLS3 softwares. The result of the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) revealed that the social capital components (strong ties and weak ties) were the main predictors of opportunity recognition among agricultural entrepreneurs in Kermanshah province. Findings of this study carry important implications for agricultural policy makers and educators aiming to foster greater inclusion and cohesion, and to increase transparency and accountability, in order to develop the recognition and exploitation of entrepreneurial opportunities in the process of promoting agricultural entrepreneurship.
