description: Az elmúlt két évtizedben egyre nagyobb teret nyert a sport és a környezetvédelem kapcsolatának vizsgálata, de még mindig sokakban felmerül a kérdés: hogyan értelmezhető a sport szerepe a környezetvédelem területén, és a környezetvédelem szerepe a sportban? Az élet más területeihez hasonlóan a sport sem vonhatja ki magát a fenntarthatatlan folyamatok megváltoztatásának szükségessége alól. Annak ellenére, hogy a sport fenntartható emberi tevékenységet jelent, az ehhez kapcsolódó szolgáltatások (pl.: vízhasználat, energiaigény, turizmus, közlekedés stb.) fenntarthatatlanok, jelentős mértékben igénylik a zöldítést. Jelen tanulmány célja, hogy egyrészt bemutassa a fenntartható fejlődés környezeti elemeinek megjelenését a sportban, másrészt, hogy jó gyakorlatokkal alátámasztva ismertesse, hogyan integrálódhatnak a környezetvédelmi erőfeszítések, zöld intézkedések egy-egy sportrendezvény szervezésébe, stadion/aréna üzemeltetésébe, klubok működtetésébe, vagy éppen vezető piaci pozícióban lévő multinacionális sportszergyártó vállalatok termelő tevékenységébe. --------------------------------------------------------------------- In the past two decades the examination of the relations between sports and environmental protection has grained large ground, however, the question still arises in many: How can the role of sports be interpreted in the field of environmental protection and how can we see the role of environmental protection in the light of sports? Similarly to other aspects of life, it is necessary to make some changes in sports in order to ensure its sustainability. Although sports mean sustainable human activities, services connected to it (e.g. use of water, energy demand, tourism, transport, etc.) are unsustainable and need remarkable steps to make the environment greener. The aim of this study is firstly to show the presence of the environmental factors of the sustainable development in sports. Secondly – supported by practical examples – to elaborate on how environmental efforts and green provisions can be integrated into organizing a sports event, maintaining a stadium/arena, operating clubs, or productive activities of leading multinational sports goods manufacturers.

description: Project management is almost a scientific discipline today. It is one of the fields where the practice hounds the theory. Pulse of industry of European automobile producers and sellers is so fast and dynamic as a result of the change of global conditions that the times when the theory described the processes and methodologies were set and then applied are gone a long time ago. Today this synchronically ticking organism dictates the trends in the sphere of development of supporting tools for the management of all the processes which participate on it. According to the theory of management the challenge for managers of the 21st century is to get over the failure. At the present the survival of automotive suppliers is conditioned by the ability to create a successful result from a lot of successes and failures in the individual sections of separate projects and by the means of proper project management to transform acquired nomination into successful supplies in the course of whole duration of the production. The thesis deals with the description of one of the ways how a tool for the support of project management and administration processes can be created in order to enable the owner of the process the so-called project manager to be successful.

Efficient methods for non-linear thermochemical analysis of composite structures undergoing autoclave processing
Creators: name: Rasekh, Ali
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Composite structures are increasingly being used in different industries. Their manufacturing imparts some challenges for the industry: most importantly prediction and control of the process to specification. The usual numerical solutions typically based on the use of the finite element analysis are not very suitable for large parts, especially when there is a need for quick estimation of the results for preliminary design and optimization. Therefore, there is a need both to have enhanced solutions that reduce the modeling effort for computer simulation of large and complex structures and also to simplify the solution and provide easy to use methodologies for quick estimations based on tables and charts. In the present work, a simple methodology is developed to estimate the temperature distribution in a thermoset polymer matrix composite slab placed on a tool and subjected to cycles of temperature ramp and hold leading to the curing of the composite and generation of heat due to the internal chemical reactions. Supplementary diagrams are also generated to set limits on the method. A modified finite element solution for heat transfer is also introduced that reduces the mesh generation and computational effort. This "higher order shell element" uses enhanced shape functions and efficient methods for spatial and temporal integrations in order to reduce the computational run times. The developed methods provide the design engineer with efficient analysis tools for predicting the temperature in a composite part. The simple diagrams and tables can be used for preliminary estimation of the temperature distribution in the part at each stage of the material development. The enhanced finite element methodology developed here can be used to reduce the amount of effort necessary in mesh generation and refinements necessary to achieve accurate solutions for thermochemical modelling of complex composite structures during processing.
Do financial investors affect the price of wheat?

subject: Q02, G13

description: It is widely debated whether financial speculation was a significant force behind recent food price fluctuations. As a matter of fact, during the 2000s agricultural commodity derivatives markets were flooded by a ‘wall of money’ coming from financial investors. In agricultural exchanges, the greatest part of this huge financial inflow came from index traders, i.e. financial actors that follow a passive strategy of tracking a commodity index. In this article I present new empirical evidence that supports the hypothesis that financial investments have affected wheat price dynamics in recent years. In particular, I focus on Hard Red Winter (HRW) wheat. Since 2007 HRW wheat price fluctuations have been positively related to US stock market returns and oil price movements. These correlations appear to be determined by commodity index traders, since both these relationships proved to be spurious, with the most tracked commodity index as the confounding variable.

description: We report on in-situ resistivity measurements on GaMnAs during post-growth annealing in different atmospheres. A drop in the resistivity is observed when the GaMnAs is exposed to oxygen, which indicates that the passivation of Mn interstitials (Mn_I) at the free surface occurs through oxidation. The presence of oxygen can therefore be an important annealing condition for the optimization of GaMnAs thin films, all the more since the oxidation appears to be limited to the sample surface. Annealing in an oxygen-free atmosphere leads to an increase in the resistivity indicating a second annealing mechanism besides the out-diffusion of Mn_I. According to our magnetization and Hall effect data, this mechanism reduces the amount of magnetically and electrically active Mn atoms.

The ultimate outcome of black hole - neutron star mergers

description: We present a simple, semi--analytical description for the final stages of mergers of black hole (BH) -- neutron star (NS) systems. Such systems are of much interest as gravitational wave sources and gamma--ray burst progenitors. Numerical studies show that in general the neutron star is not disrupted at the first phase of mass transfer. Instead, what remains of the neutron star is left on a wider, eccentric, orbit. We consider the evolution of such systems as they lose angular momentum via gravitational radiation and come into contact for further phases of mass transfer. During each mass transfer event the neutron star mass is reduced until a critical value where mass loss leads to a rapid increase in the stellar radius. At this point Roche lobe overflow shreds what remains of the neutron star, most of the mass forming a disc around the black hole. Such a disc may be massive enough to power a gamma--ray burst. The mass of the neutron star at the time of disruption (and therefore the disc mass) is largely independent of the initial masses of the black hole and neutron star, indicating that BH--NS star mergers may be standard candles.

description: In a Kaleckian distribution and growth model with workers’ debt we examine the short and long run effects of three stylized facts of “finance-dominated capitalism”: a fall in animal spirits of the firm sector with respect to real investment in capital stock, re-distribution of income at the expense of the wage share, and increasing lending of rentiers to workers for consumption purposes. In particular, we specify the conditions for long-run stability of the workers’ debt-capital ratio. We thus identify the threshold for this ratio to turn unstable causing increasing financial fragility and finally financial crisis due to systemic stock-flow or stock-stock dynamics.

description: À partir de la fin des années 1970, les autorités sanitaires françaises ont organisé d’importantes campagnes de communication promouvant des pratiques alimentaires plus saines, et préconisant notamment de consommer moins de sucres, de graisses et de sel. Redoutant une diminution de leurs ventes, certains industriels ont réagi à ces campagnes en diffusant des messages concurrents des recommandations nutritionnelles officielles. Ce faisant, ils ont délibérément cherché à brouiller les messages diffusés par les autorités sanitaires et à minimiser leur impact sur les pratiques alimentaires. Nous analysons ces pratiques à travers le cas du Comité des Salines de France (CSF), une organisation représentant les producteurs de sel français. Le CSF a recouru à quatre stratégies principales de communication indirecte et de dissimulation, de déni, de diversion, et enfin de disqualification et d’intimidation. Notant la similitude de ces stratégies avec celles d’autres industriels, nous défendons l’idée que ces stratégies font partie d’un répertoire d’action commun aux acteurs industriels, qu’ils mobilisent lorsque l’innocuité sanitaire ou environnementale de leurs activités ou de leurs produits est mise en cause.
The supreme subprime myth: the role of bad loans in the 2007-2009 financial crisis

description: Using simulations, we show that the probability of default and losses given default of subprime mortgage loans are small in comparison to their interest rates. The implication is that these loans are profitable for risk neutral efficient banks. As subprime mortgages remain a good investment even for higher values of probability of default and losses given default, our conclusion is that they did not trigger the 2007-2009 financial crisis. In contrast with other papers, this finding does not derive from analyses relating to the subprime market size, but from the positive ex-ante net present value of their discounted cash flows.

description: The second data release of ESA's $Gaia$ mission revealed numerous signatures of disequilibrium in the Milky Way's disc. These signatures are seen in the planar kinematics of stars, which manifest as ridges and ripples in $R-v_ϕ$, and in vertical kinematics, where a prominent spiral is seen in the $z-v_z$ phase space. In this work, we show an equivalent $ΔR-v_{\mathrm{R}}$ phase spiral forms following a perturbation to the disc. We demonstrate the behaviour of the $ΔR-v_{\mathrm{R}}$ phase spirals in both a toy model and a high resolution $N$-body simulation of a satellite interaction. We then confront these models with the data, where we find partial $ΔR-v_{\mathrm{R}}$ phase spirals in the Solar neighborhood using the most recent data from $Gaia$ DR3. This structure indicates ongoing radial phase mixing in the Galactic disc, suggesting a history of recent perturbations, either through internal or external (e.g., satellite) processes. Future work modelling the $z-v_z$ and $ΔR-v_{\mathrm{R}}$ phase spirals in tandem may help break degeneracy's between possible origins of the perturbation.

description: It is known that baryon number inhomogeneities may arise as a consequence of electroweak baryogenesis. Their geometry, size, and amplitude depend on the parameters that characterize the baryogenesis mechanism, as well as on those that determine the phase transition dynamics. We investigate this parametric dependance. We show that in the case of the minimal supersymmetric standard model, the geometry of the inhomogeneities most probably consists of spherical regions of high density surrounded by low-density walls, in contrast to the case of the minimal standard model. In this supersymmetric extension we find that density contrasts of up to a factor of 100 may arise. This amplitude increases for higher values of the latent heat or lower values of the bubble wall tension, and can be significantly larger in different extensions of the standard model. Such inhomogeneities may thus affect the dynamics of the subsequent quark-hadron phase transition.

Pure Luminosity Evolution Models: Too Few Massive Galaxies at Intermediate and High Redshift

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We compare pure luminosity evolution (PLE) models with recent data at low and high redshift. These models assume that massive galaxies were assembled and formed most of their stars at high redshift (z > 3) and have evolved without merging or substantial dust obscuration since then. Our models span the full range of plausible metallicities, initial mass functions (IMF's) and star formation histories. We require them to reproduce the abundance of galaxies by colour and luminosity in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and we investigate whether they can simultaneously fit (i) the observed galaxy counts as a function of redshift in magnitude limited surveys with K < 20, and (ii) the colour and M/L ratio evolution of red sequence galaxies in clusters. All models that are consistent with (ii) predict galaxy counts at 1.5 < z < 3 which lie above the observations. Models with an IMF slope similar to the Salpeter value lie far above the data. We conclude that the majority of massive galaxies were either assembled relatively late in this redshift interval or were substantially obscured by dust at these redshifts.

Introduction: there is more to Keynesianism than public spending alone

subject: E11, G01, B50, H12

description: The brief note introduces the articles collected in the present issue of the journal. It places the various contributions in perspective, critically summarizing the major economic developments since the publication of the last issue. After a rapid surge of Keynesianism in the USA and partly in Europe, in the wake of the financial and economic crisis, the cultural and political debate has now already returned to fiercely opposing it. The point is that Keynesianism is often taken in its simplest and "bastard" form, to imply a prescription of large public spending, and indeed ever more spending – with no check, no limit or allowance for a country’s actual financial and economic situation. Once again, the new issue of our journal aims at pointing out how far from reality such caricature is, with some of the articles by self-identified Keynesian writers taking on radically different and significantly more nuanced approaches, as well as how far is it from the economic policy that is needed right now.

description: The Banca Nazionale del Lavoro Quarterly Review was born in 1947, at a time of vigorous renewal of the Bank itself. One of the key problems in the aftermath of the Second World War was to improve and extend the Banca Nazionale del Lavoro's reputation abroad. The Bank was quite well-known in Spain but very little in the English-speaking world where, moreover, it was viewed as having been closely associated with the Fascist regime. The publication of a review for foreign circulation was designed to modify this situation. In a sense the aim was to render public and explicit the Bank's new international openness and the desire to take an active part in international banking circles. JEL Codes: A14

Rethinking debt sustainability in the context of the Millennium Development Goals
Creators: name: Kregel, Jan
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Debt, Development
subject: F34, O19

description: The Secretary General's Report to the UN's 2005 World Summit called for a policy of debt sustainability that would support the development goals contained in the UN's 2000 Millennium Declaration. Debt sustainability analysis currently practiced by the multilateral financial institutions focuses on the ability of the debtor to transfer domestic resources to the creditor in the short term, without reference to the impact on overall activity, thus reducing the overall level of resources available to meet development goals. This paper builds on post-war approaches to suggest a more suitable alternative approach that places the implementation of the millennium development goals at the centre of debt sustainability by taking a longer run approach based on developing domestic capacity to create resources to meet debt service.

subject: A11, E52, E62, O11, O23

description: This essay analyzes the differences between the economies of industrialized countriesand developing countries, which have important implications for macroeconomics in terms of theory and policy. It considers the differences in macroeconomic objectives and examines why the reach of macroeconomic policies is different in the two sets ofcountries. It argues that the distinction between short-run macroeconomic models and long-term growth models is not quite appropriate for developing countries, where macroeconomic constraints on growth straddle time horizons and short-term policies have long-term consequences. The essential hypothesis is that the nature of relationships and the direction of causation in macroeconomics, which shape analysis, diagnosis and prescription, depend on the institutional setting and not the analytical structure of models. And even if some laws of economics are universal, the functioning of economies can be markedly different. Therefore, economic theory and policy analysis should recognize, rather than ignore, such myriad differences. JEL Codes: A11, E52, E62, O11, O23

Aid performance and its determinants. A comparison of Italy with the OECD norm

Subjects: subject: aid performance, OECD, Italy

description: This paper argue that Italy's aid performance is problematic in more than one respect. To start with, the country's aid volume is low in relation to whatever normative or positive benchmark is utilized, and a minimum of € 1.4-2.8 billion is required to reach the aid level warranted by its specifie macroeconomic, structural and institutional conditions. lts performance is weak not only in relation to the average DAC behaviour, but also to that of other less prosperous Southern European countries. In addition, the level of arrears (signaling a weak aid administration), though falling in relation to the past, remains high. This paper also shows that the ltalian aid gap - relative to an unimpressive DAC average behaviour -persists even when accounting for the country's unfavourable conditions (and, in some cases, one wonders whether these are justifiable), regardless of the politieal orientation of the various governments that succeeded themselves at the helm of the country. The achievement of international targets is becoming more and more distant over time - and reaching these objectives, to whieh now the main European partners of Italy are firmly committed, will require a large budgetary effort. lt is time the country respects the international obligations it has underwritten and starts playing also in the field of foreign aid a role consistent with its economie weight, history, geography and collective ethic.

description: The paper deals with the contributions by German-speaking economists in the UK during the Nazi period. It first gives an overview on the emigration of economistsfrom Germany and Austria and the subgroup who came to Britain. Adolph Lowe's reflections on contemporary Britain, liberty, and economics and sociology are then discussed as an example how exile and acculturation have influenced topics and methodology of emigre scholars. The Oxford Institute of Statistics, with Jacob Marschak as the founding director, in the late 1930s and early 1940s became an important place where emigre economists from Central Europe played a decisive role. The paper then deals with die important contributions of emigre scholars to the new sub-discipline development economics before, finally, the role of exiled economists as analysts of the German war economy is discussed.

description: Placing Basel II in the perspective of the more general trend in financial regulation, the paper analyses its efficacy and efficiency as a device to foster financial resiliency. In assessing the criticisms levelled against the New Accord, special attention is devoted to the case of the emerging countries. I suggest that Basel II is neither a sufficient, nor a necessary condition to attain systemic financial stability, especially in weak institutional and macro-policy environments. Taking also into account just how complex and onerous the scheme is, I conclude that the emerging countries should look for new international institutional arrangements based on the principle of astability level playing field.

description: Multishell helical gold nanowires (HGNs) suspended between semi-infinite electrodes are found to exhibit peculiar electron-conduction properties by first-principles calculations based on the density functional theory. Our results that the numbers of conduction channels in the HGNs and their conductances are smaller than those expected from a single-atom-row nanowire verify the recent experiment. In addition, we obtained a more striking result that in the cases of thin HGNs, distinct magnetic fields are induced by the electron current helically flowing around the shells. This finding indicates that the HGNs can be good candidates for nanometer-scale solenoids.

Mg II chromospheric radiative loss rates in cool active and quiet stars

description: The Mg II k emission line is a good indicator of the level of chromospheric activity in late-type stars. We investigate the dependence of this activity indicator on fundamental stellar parameters. To this purpose we use IUE observations of the Mg II k line in 225 late-type stars of luminosity classes I-V, with different levels of chromospheric activity. We first re-analyse the relation between Mg II k line luminosity and stellar absolute magnitude, performing linear fits to the points. The ratio of Mg II surface flux to total surface flux is found to be independent of stellar luminosity for evolved stars and to increase with decreasing luminosity for dwarfs. We also analyse the Mg II k line surface flux-metallicity connection. The Mg II k emission level turns out to be not dependent on metallicity. Finally, the Mg II k line surface flux-temperature relation is investigated by treating separately, for the first time, a large sample of very active and normal stars. The stellar surface fluxes in the k line of normal stars are found to be strongly dependent on the temperature and slightly dependent on the gravity, thus confirming the validity of recently proposed models. In contrast, data relative to RS CVn binaries and BY Dra stars, which show very strong chromospheric activity, are not justified in the framework of a description based only on acoustic waves and uniformly distributed magnetic flux tubes so that they require more detailed models.

Subjects: subject: Capital Flow, Liberalization

description: This paper examines questions related to possible capital account liberalisation in the Mediterranean countries. First, we provide an overview of the extent to which these countries have capital controls along with their exchange rate regimes and some basic macroeconomic aggregates. Second, we examine the case for capital account liberalisation, along with the prerequisites for successful liberalisation. Here we consider issues such as sequencing and possible benefits of synchronisation. Finally, we examine the experience with capital flows – both FDI and other capital flows. We explain these flows and use the past experience of these countries to draw some conclusions for the successful opening up of the capital account. JEL Codes: F21, F32, O19, O24

description: We study the quantum fluctuations of scalar fields with a variable effective mass during an inflationary phase. We consider the situation where the effective mass depends on a background scalar field, which evolves during inflation from being frozen into a damped oscillatory phase when the Hubble parameter decreases below its mass. We find power spectra with suppressed amplitude on large scales, similar to the standard massless spectrum on small scales, and affected by modulations on intermediate scales. We stress the analogies and differences with the parametric resonance in the preheating scenario. We also discuss some potentially observable consequences when the scalar field behaves like a curvaton.

description: Real time visualization and tracking of colloidal particles with 3D resolution is essential for probing the local structure and dynamics in complex fluids. Although tracking translational motion of spherical colloids is well-known, accessing rotational dynamics of such particles remains a great challenge. Here, we report a novel approach of using fluorescently labeled raspberry-like colloids with an optical anisotropy to concurrently track translational and rotational dynamics in 3 dimensions. The raspberry-like particles are coated by a silica layer of adjustable thickness, which allows tuning the surface roughness. The synthesis and applicability of the proposed method is demonstrated by two types of probes: rough and smoothened. The accuracy of measuring Mean Squared (Angular) Displacements are also demonstrated by using these 2 probes dispersed in 2 different solvents. The presented 3D trackable colloids offer a high potential for wide range of applications and studies, such as probing crystallization dynamics, phase transitions and the effect of surface roughness on diffusion.

description: The legislator of the European Union (EU) has commissioned the European Commission (EC) to evaluate Pillar 1 measures of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), particularly direct income payments. The legislator has laid out the policy objectives and has instructed the EC to specify the impact indicators for the evaluation. This policy brief argues that the EC had to accept the task, which could not be solved with the state-of-the-art methodology generally followed by professional economists. However, the objectives have not been clearly defined by the legislator, and the EC has failed to suggest a clear definition of objectives to measure the expected positive changes resulting from the policy intervention. Moreover, the approach of the EC is unable to justify the need for direct payments based on its diagnosis and to show that the measure is effective and efficient. The EC uses so-called impact indicators in line with the proposal of the legislator. Specific indicators have been selected to relate to specific objectives (e.g., changes in entrepreneurial income are considered to contribute to the change in the objective 'variable production'). This article argues that this relationship has to be challenged. The same conclusion holds for the impact indicator 'factor income'. The impact indicators used by the EC provide no information about the direct impact on the specific objective variables. Moreover, the EC approach only focuses on potential benefits, and completely neglects economic costs.

description: Der Gesetzgeber der Europäischen Union (EU) hat die Europäische Kommission mit der Überprüfung der Maßnahmen der ersten Säule der Gemeinsamen Agrarpolitik (GAP) beauftragt, insbesondere der direkten Einkommensstützung. Dazu hat der Gesetzgeber die politischen Ziele dargelegt und die EU-Kommission angewiesen, Wirkungsindikatoren für eine Bewertung festzulegen. Im folgenden Policy Brief wird dargelegt, dass die EU-Kommission zwar diese Aufgabe übernehmen musste; diese aber nicht auf der Grundlage der üblichen, allgemein von Wirtschaftsexperten angewandten Methoden erfüllt werden konnte. Eine notwendige Voraussetzung wäre eine klare Definition und Quantifizierung des Zielerreichungsgrades gewesen. Der Gesetzgeber hat aber keine eindeutig definierten Ziele vorgegeben und die EU-Kommission hat keine klaren Zielvorgaben zur Messung der erwarteten positiven Veränderungen durch die politischen Interventionen vorgelegt. Darüber hinaus löst der Ansatz der EU-Kommission ein grundlegendes Problem nicht: es wird kein Vergleich zwischen Situationen mit und ohne Direktzahlungen ermöglicht. Somit kann die EU-Kommission die Notwendigkeit von Direktzahlungen nicht auf der Grundlage von Diagnosen nachweisen und die Wirksamkeit und Effizienz der Maßnahmen belegen. Die EU-Kommission verwendet die so genannten Wirkungsindikatoren auf der Grundlage des gesetzlichen Vorschlags. Zur Zuordnung spezieller Ziele wurden bestimmte Indikatoren ausgewählt (es wird z.B. davon ausgegangen, dass veränderte Unternehmensgewinne zur Veränderung des Ziels "rentable Erzeugung" beitragen). Dieser Artikel belegt, dass diese Beziehung hinterfragt werden muss, ebenso wie die Bedeutung des Wirkungsindikators "Faktoreinkommen". Die von der EU-Kommission verwendeten Wirkungsindikatoren liefern keine Informationen zur direkten Auswirkung auf die speziellen Zielvariablen. Ferner konzentriert sich der Ansatz der EU-Kommission nur auf potenzielle Vorteile und vernachlässigt die ökonomischen Kosten völlig.

description: Using a recently-developed perturbative-QCD approach for jet evolution in a dense quark-gluon plasma, we study the nuclear modification factor for the jet fragmentation function. The qualitative behaviour that we find is in agreement with the respective experimental observations in Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC: a pronounced nuclear enhancement at both ends of the spectrum. Our Monte Carlo simulations are supplemented with analytic estimates which clarify the physical interpretation of the results. The main source of theoretical uncertainty is the sensitivity of our calculations to a low-momentum cutoff which mimics confinement. To reduce this sensitivity, we propose a new observable, which describes the jet fragmentation into subjets and is infrared-and-collinear safe by construction. We present Monte Carlo predictions for the associated nuclear modification factor together with their physical interpretation.
