description: Corruption in general and doping in particular are ubiquitous in both ama- teur and professional sports and have taken the character of a systemic threat. In creating unfair advantages, doping distorts the level playing field in sporting com- petition. With higher stakes involved, such distortions create negative externalities not only on the individual level (e.g. lasting health damages) but also frictions on the aggregate level (e.g. loss of media interest) and erode the principle of sports. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive literature overview of the individual drivers to dope, the concomitant detrimental effects and respective countermeasures. In explaining the athletes motivation to use performance enhancing drugs, we enrich the discussion by adapting insights from behavioral economics. These insights help to understand such an athletes decision beyond a clear-cut rationale but rather as a product of the interaction with the underlying environment. We stress that in order to ensure clean sports and fair competition, more sophisticated measurement methods have to be evolved and the respective data made publicly available in order to facilitate more extensive studies in the future. So far, the lack of data is alarming, especially in the area of elite sports where the stakes are high and doping has a substantial influence.

description: There are different approaches for the detection of market phase changes in stock markets. Most of them utilize various assumptions and constraints which makes these methods somewhat arbitrary. This paper develops an algorithm which identifies bull and bear markets retrospectively in a very robust way without using exogenous parameters. At the same time the algorithm is very easy to execute, can be applied to several time series frequencies and is intended to identify rather longer subperiods than shorter ones. Knowing the different phases one can investigate a multitude of characteristics of bull and bear markets.

Il Programma P.I.P.P.I.: un’innovazione scientifica e sociale come risposta alla vulnerabilità delle famiglie
Creators: name: Milani, Paola
Publisher: name: Rivista Italiana di Educazione Familiare
Year: 2017

description: This article presents the aims and the structure of P.I.P.P.I. Programme, a very relevant social innovation, promoted by the Ministry of Labor and Social Policies with the Laboratory of Research and Intervention in Family Education (LabRIEF) of the University of Padua. Launched in 2011, it is today the most important experimentation ever made in Italy in the field of social policies. The aim is to harmonize practices and models of intervention addressed to neglecting families through training, documentation and systematic evaluation, shared throughout the entire Country. It is based on the recognition of parental neglecting as a space of special opportunity to put forward prevention interventions, in particular compliance with Laws 285/1997, 328/2000 and 149/2001. It falls within the lines developed by the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development about innovation and social experimentation, as a mean to overcome social inequalities by experimenting actions capable of developing positive parenting (REC 2006/19/EU), widespread in the living environment of children who live in vulnerable conditions, so as to «break the cycle of social disadvantage» (REC 2013/112/UE).

title: Reliability assessment of microgrid power systems using analytic hierarchy process for distributed generation selection
Creators: name: Danquah, Benjamin
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2020

description: The primary aim of many electric utility providers is to provide electric energy to their customers as economical and reliable as possible. One of the ways to achieve this is the integration of distributed generation to form microgrid within the distribution network systems. Integration of microgrid into the distribution network has been on the increase in the past decade because it helps to reducing cost. Higher penetration of renewable energy resources in the microgrid also help to reduce the green house gas (GHG) from fossil fuel- based generation sources and its effect on the environment. It also helps to improve the reliability, as well as the overall efficiency of the distribution network system. The main drivers for the application of distributed generators has been the cost of the technology, the availability of resource and the environmental effect. Many literature on reliability assessment of microgrid power systems focus on identifying the weak or critical components of the system as the main criteria for choosing distributed generators to be integrated into the network in the context of producing power that is economical to both the customer and the utility provider. Other literatures also consider the availability of the renewable resources of that geographic location. This study seeks to consider three criteria in selecting the most suitable distributed generator for integration into the microgrid. The criteria include the cost of the technology, the environmental impact, and the reduction in the risk level in the power distribution network containing microgrid. Analytical hierarchy process is implemented to determine which of the distributed generators would be the most suitable with respect to the three criteria. It was determined that the wind turbine generator would be the most suitable DG for the microgrid implementation based on the final average priority ratio after the sensitivity analysis was performed.

Quantitative Metaproteomics in Microbiomes of Diverse Complexity via Data-dependent and Data-independent Acquisition Mass Spectrometry
Creators: name: Mehta, Subina P

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: While many taxonomic members of microbiomes are mostly known, there are still some undetected taxa. Functional unknowns: Almost 40% of genes are without a match in functional databases. There is a need for the quantitation of taxonomy and functions expressed by the microbiome. With the metaproteomics datasets we have analyzed here, DIA analysis provides a deeper quantitative insight into the taxonomy and functional features of the microbiome. The DIA approach is reproducible with fewer missing values as compared to the DDA approach. However, there is a need to assess the accuracy of DIA estimations in the context of metaproteomics studies by using benchmarked datasets (such as with known amounts of taxonomy and functions).
Parenting support programmes. Pistoia’s “Lo Spazio Piccolissimi” Children’s and Families’ Center

Year: 2017

description: The parental support programmes have developed during the last thirty years, thanks to the attention that the Pedagogy has paid to the family. Usually, the main aim of the family education interventions is that of supporting parenthood from an educational point of view. These interventions are thus both supportive and preventive, meaning that they are designed to be enacted before difficulties in the development of the children, and in the relationships within the family, may arise. This essay presents a comparative study carried out in Italy and in Spain in the Centers for Children and Families (CCF), paying a special attention to the survey conducted in the “Centro Piccolissimi” in the Area Rossa Bambini of Pistoia’s Municipality. From this research some significant features and aspects which characterize this service emerged. Among them, there is the figure of the professional as a promoter of positive parenthood, along with the welcoming ecological framework which becomes the repository of adult-child experience, and stimulate and orientates it at the same time, and a prolonged time which is able of giving back value and significance to the actions.

R&D Competition versus R&D Cooperation in Oligopolistic Markets with Evolving Structure
Creators: name: Dawid, Herbert

Publisher: name: Bielefeld University, Department of Business Administration and Economics
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: 330

description: This paper considers investment behavior of duopolistic firms subject to technological progress. It is assumed that initially both firms offer a homogeneous product, but after a stochastic waiting time they are able to realize a product innovation. Production capacities of both firms are prod- uct specific. It is shown that firms anticipate a future product innovation by under-investing (if the new product is a substitute to the established product) and higher profits, and over-investing (in case of complements) and lower profits, compared to the corresponding standard capital accu- mulation game. This anticipation effect is stronger in the case of R&D cooperation. Furthermore, since due to R&D cooperation firms introduce the new product at the same time, this leads to intensified competition and lower firm profits right after the new product has been introduced. In addition, we show that under R&D competition the firm that innovates first, overshoots in new-product capacity buildup in order to exploit its temporary monopoly position. Taking into account all these effects, the result is that, if the new product is neither a close substitute nor a strong complement of the established product, positive synergy effects in R&D cooperation are necessary to make it more profitable for firms than R&D competition.
Are European fiscal rules that bad? Discretionary fiscal policies in New Member States

Subjects: subject: 330
subject: discretionary fiscal policy
subject: New Member States

description: There is no clear-cut evidence on how the adoption of the European fiscal standards in uences discretionary fiscal policies within the Member States. This study investigates that phenomenon on the example of the 2004 enlargement. The results show that the effects of the adoption of EU fiscal rules bring a statistically significant change towards more counter- cyclical behavior. The results are robust for different model specifications, including alternative time spans and correcting for the possible influence of the financial crises and political forces. Interestingly, the year 2004 did not have any significant impact on the change in fiscal policies in the Old Member States, suggesting that the EU entry might motivate new members to run more prudent budgetary policies.
title: Modeling magnetic nanoparticles: application to hyperthermia
Creators: name: Behbahani, Razyeh
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2021

description: Using the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation in micromagnetic simulations, we model magnetic nanoparticles composed of nanorods for application in magnetic nanoparticle hyperthermia, a developing cancer treatment. We use a scaling approach based on the renormalization group (RG) to calculate magnetization-field hysteresis loops that are invariant with simulation cell size, with the objective of decreasing the simulation time at clinically relevant field parameters. In addition, we introduce a time scaling approach that involves the sweep rate of the oscillating external field and the damping constant α in the LLG equation, which allows for up to three orders of magnitude faster simulations. Equipped with the RG and time scaling tools, we explore a macrospin model in which a complex nanoparticle is represented by a single magnetization vector with appropriate effective magnetic parameters. To evaluate this model, we calculate loops for single particles and particles interacting in pairs, chains and triangles of three particles, and in a cluster of thirteen nanoparticles. Motivated by recent experimental studies that reported successful hyperthermia treatment in the absence of perceptible heating of tissue, we report on local hysteresis loops of individual nanoparticles within clusters, highlighting the role of magnetostatic interactions between nanoparticles in the complex heating and magnetization dynamics of groups of nanoparticles.

description: This paper discusses the role of technological spillovers and technological races in dynamic strategic interactions setup. Two multiproduct regional monopolies invest simultaneously into new products creation and into further development of the quality of these products. They can benefit from the costless technological spillover in the development of each such a product in the case the other’s quality is higher. At the same time they cooperate in the joint creation of new products. The dynamic interaction in this setting previously considered only the situation with one of the monopolies being the constant technological leader. In this paper the full spectrum of possible equilibria of the game is studied. It is demonstrated, that the closer in terms of technology two firms are to each other, the more intense is the competition and overall research output is threatened, resembling inverted-U relationship between technology and competition.

description: The project for the establishment of a modern gravity control for Ireland, entitled Absolute Gravity Network Ireland, had been initiated by Ordnance Survey Ireland (Republic of Ireland) and Land and Property Services (Northern Ireland) with the support of the Institute of Geodesy and Cartography (Poland). This presentation includes the principles behind the design as well as current progress. The final number of measured stations of the newly established network includes 64 stations of gravity control, including 6 stations of the gravimetric calibration baseline. Whenever possible, gravity network stations had been collocated with GNSS stations. At the same time all stations are connected to national vertical control for a reliable height reference together with a precise position determination in the national reference frame. Gravimetric calibration baseline stations are located indoors. Their design includes maximum gravity difference with minimum driving distance. Survey plan also includes gravity resurvey of all previously established reference stations identified in Ireland (7 locations from 1960s-70s) to create a link between the old and newly established gravity datum. Special emphasis is put on the quality assurance of the reference gravity value following the current developments of the new definition of the International Gravity Reference System. As stations are designed to be located in the open field, the A10 absolute gravimeter (sn 020), owned by the Institute of Geodesy and Cartography, Warsaw, Poland, was implemented. At all stations where the A10 gravimeter was employed vertical gravity gradient was determined for a reliable reduction of the measured gravity to the benchmark level. This was done with LaCoste&Romberg (LCR) model G gravimeters equipped with feedback systems. The absolute gravimeter employed to gravity determination on network stations will be linked to the international gravity reference level. Additionally the A10 gravimeter sub components (laser, clock, and barometer) were periodically calibrated. The LCR gravimeter throughout the project will be regularly calibrated on Polish calibration gravimetric baselines. Separate part of the project is related to the evaluation of the ocean tidal loading effect which in Ireland can reach ±15 µGal. The evaluation was done upon tidal records of an LCR model G gravimeter with a self-made recording system at a carefully prepared location in Dublin, Republic of Ireland (record from September 2018 till February 2021).

Several regressor variables are included, but the main focus is on public debt. The results reveal a significant positive correlation between public debt and the subsequent growth rate of per capita GDP. Population and investment also yield a significant positive influence on subsequent growth, whereas the initial real GDP per capita gives a negative influence. Other variables such as the inflation rate, the trade balance or the exchange rate do not render a significant effect with respect to economic growth.

Technology lock-in with horizontal and vertical innovations through limited R&D spending

subject: Multiple steady-states
subject: lock-in
subject: innovations
subject: R&D constraint
subject: optimal control

description: In this paper we analyze an inter-temporal optimization problem of a representative firm that invests in horizontal and vertical innovations and that faces a constraint with respect to total R&D spending. We find that there may exist two different steady-states of the economy when the amount of research spending falls short of an endogenously determined threshold: one with higher productivities and less new technologies being developed, and the other with more technologies being created and lower productivities. Thus, a lock-in effect may arise that, however, can be overcome by raising R&D spending sufficiently such that the steady-state becomes unique and the firm produces the whole spectrum of available technologies.

subject: optimal control

description: In this paper, we analyze optimal foreign direct investment of a firm which operates in a duopolistic market. We characterize a technology spillover threshold and show that for an intensity of spillovers below this threshold, there is a unique locally asymptotic stable steady state with a positive capital stock in the developing country. Furthermore, we characterize how optimal foreign investment patterns and the investor’s value function depend on the level of technology transferred and characterize the optimal level to be used for the foreign direct investment.

Oil Price Shocks and GDP Growth: Do Energy Shares Amplify Causal Effects?
Creators: name: Bergmann, Philip
Publisher: name: Bielefeld University, Department of Business Administration and Economics
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: 300
subject: IVAR
subject: oil price uctuation
subject: oil share
subject: asymmetry
subject: nonlinearity
subject: moderator

description: The paper estimates the effect of oil price uctuations on GDP growth, using linear and nonlinear VAR models with data from 12 countries. It reports strong significance for the existence of non-linear moderator effects caused by a decline in the oil-to-energy share, which weakens the causal effect of oil prices on economic growth. A consideration of the relationship of oil prices and GDP over 44 years confirms the exclusion of symmetry of previous studies. Moreover, the paper indicates that the effect of negative oil price movements is causal for more countries than has been suggested so far.

description: Excerpts: Tobacco is a commodity that is of major importance to United States agriculture and business. It usually ranks fifth among field crops in cash receipts to farmers, and is fifth in value among agricultural export classifications. It is a major source of revenue for Federal, State, and local governments. (Receipts totaled over 6.2 billion dollars for the fiscal year 1977-78). Consumer expenditures for tobacco products in Calendar year 1977 were 17.1 billion dollars. This publication has been compiled to fill a need for a general summary of the various phases of tobacco production and marketing in the United States and Puerto Rico. The material has been taken from a variety of publications and updated as required. Additional comments have been included, based on first-hand observations and experience by USDA marketing specialists and contributions from tobacco industry sources.

description: The study focuses on a Research carried out within P.I.P.P.I National Programme, (Programme of Intervention for Prevention of Institutionalization), launched in 2010 by the Italian Ministry of Welfare in collaboration with University of Padua. In that context, the parents’ group for the parenting support is realized as one of the main interventions. The study aims to evaluate if parents’ group activities allow to change the perceptions of participants’ about their parenting styles. The instruments (Protective Factor Scale – PFS – and parents’interviewing) realized a participative and transformative evaluation path, and they are used also in order to promote parents’ reflections on their changes. The otucomes show a change in parents’ perceptions. In the Conclusions, they are considered the contributions to the study by the parents involved, as main actors of their own evaluation.

description: Abstract: This article is trying to reinterpret the principle and mechanism hidden in Double-slit experiment in a more comprehensible view, and demonstrate a new perspective, which could better explain existent phenomena, partially reconcile the divergence between Quantum Theory and Relativity Theory, and cautiously forecast possible relevant application direction. *Correspondence to: WM.Anonymous@hotmail.com
description: Dear reviewer, Many thanks for your reviewing. I am a novice at physics, and also hope to make contributions to science. It would be my very honor if it could spend you a little moment to review the whole attached article, which seems a little bit longer than expectation. To better save your time, I also made the outline of the article and uploaded together. If you are in short of time, it would be possible to have a general view of the article. All my conclusions in attached article are based on two types of experiments, which seem to be the only two economically affordable ways for me: Thought experiments, and other people's experiments…Based on them, I found and concluded something not elaborated in textbook or mainstream media, and considered it even if not revolutionary, but at least more comprehensible. Double-slit experiment, as Mr. Richard Feynman reminded, can really help us better understand the weird behavior of Quantum and the mechanism behind it. This article reinterpret the doubts shown in various versions of Double-slit experiment, in a new perspective. Via this process we can get some basic principles, find something in common with Relativity Theory, and better explain other existing phenomenon or paradox. I admit now it is the time of experimental physics. But meanwhile I really consider theoretical physics should also have its own stage, to make our theory more perfect. Before sending of the letter, I am pretty sure that part of the content is correct but not sure whether other people have announced the same in advance, also sure about other part is brand new, but not sure about 100% correctness. Something sounds like Uncertainty Principle… It seems there are two quantum superposition states existing, correct or not, pioneered or not. And before the wave function collapse, the interference of them have made a very interesting observable macroscopic effect – urging me to press down the "send" button. If you consider it kind of valuable for further research, it would be my highest privilege to have contributed at least a little effort for this result. If it is considered unacceptable or not pioneered, an explicit feedback to indicate exact deficiencies would also be highly appreciated. Waiting for your reply. Thanks and Best regards!
