description: Data obtained from dietary intake surveys are often used to estimate the proportion of the population with insufficient (or excessive) intake of certain dietary components. It is generally agreed that the usual or long-run average intake of a nutrient is the appropriate measure of an individual's intake. In this light, assessments of the dietary status of the population should be based on the distribution of usual intakes for each dietary component. Several methods have been proposed for estimating the distributions of usual intakes from dietary data. The methodology presented by Nusser et al. (1995) is very appealing, since it accounts for all of the attributes of dietary intake data, and explicitly recognizes that when data are collected on consecutive days, it is necessary to incorporate the correlations among intake days into the estimation procedure. In this paper we present a method for obtaining smooth estimates of day-to-day correlations for nutrient intake, and their standard errors, when dietary data are collected on consecutive days. The method consists of two steps. In the first step, direct correlation estimates are obtained by fitting a measurement error model with a second-order autoregressive variance structure. Smooth correlation estimates are then obtained from the direct estimates by means of a two-factor model. Data from the combined 1989-CSFII are used to obtain correlation estimates (and their standard errors) for 26 nutrients, water, and six ratios of dietary components. Estimates were obtained for each of five age-sex groups.

description: Cosmological simulations of structure formation predict that galaxies are dramatically modified by galaxy harassment during the assembly of galaxy clusters, losing a substantial fraction of their stellar mass which today must be in the form of intracluster stars. Simulations predict non-uniform spatial and radial velocity distributions for these stars. Intracluster planetary nebulae are the only abundant component of the intracluster light whose kinematics can be measured at this time. Comparing these velocity distributions with simulations will provide a unique opportunity to investigate the hierarchical cluster formation process as it takes place in the nearby universe.

description: The non zero value of Planck constant $h$ underlies the emergence of several inequalities that must be satisfied in the quantum realm, the most prominent one being Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. Among these inequalities, Bekenstein bound provides a universal limit on the entropy that can be contained in a localized quantum system of given size and total energy. In this Letter, we explore how Bekenstein bound is affected when Heisenberg uncertainty relation is deformed so as to accommodate gravitational effects close to Planck scale (Generalized Uncertainty Principle). By resorting to general thermodynamic arguments, and in regimes where the equipartition theorem still holds, we derive in this way a "generalized Bekenstein bound". Physical implications of this result are discussed for both cases of positive and negative values of the deformation parameter.

description: The Uruguay Round Agreement on Agriculture (URAA) provided a continuing mandate for progressive reforms to liberalize world agricultural markets. A new round of negotiation was put into motion in early 2000 and later formalized in what is now called the Doha Round. The Doha Round negotiation follows the same principle laid out in the URAA, with the introduction of three reform anchors: market access, export competition, and reduction of domestic support. This paper specifies the new schedule of commitments for each member country under the proposed modalities and assesses the potential market impacts of these changes for world agricultural markets. We specifically focus on grains, oilseeds, sugar, cotton, livestock, poultry, and dairy markets.

Great Scott!: Adaptive Dynamics of the Scott Pilgrim Franchise From the Comics to the Netflix Series
Creators: name: Busi Rizzi, Giorgio
Publisher: name: Funes. Journal of narratives and social sciences
Year: 2024

description: This article investigates the franchise that originated from Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Scott Pilgrim comics series (2004-2010) and continued with a film adaptation (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, 2010, Edgar Wright) and the recent animated Netflix series Scott Pilgrim Takes Off (2023). Scott Pilgrim’s narrative ecosystem unfolds across various media, displaying heterogeneous characteristics regarding production structures, forms, and content. Indeed, the franchise also features several spinoffs: a short-lived mobile comic, a beat ‘em up video game, and a card game. While surveying its medial articulation, I will discuss its appeal to hypermediacy mechanisms, both interweaving references between the components of the franchise and connecting it with music and gaming cultures; and its content, examining the progressive reworking of its storyworld, its alignment with diverse genres and imaginaries, and the way its unfolding aims to adapt and resonate with varied audiences and cater to their cultural preferences and consumption patterns.

description: The narrative ecosystem spawned by the manga Berusaiyu no Bara (henceforth referred to by its English title The Rose of Versailles) (Riyoko Ikeda, 1972-1973) and its renowned protagonist, Lady Oscar, presents itself as a paradigmatic case study in the sphere of digital television seriality. It offers significant insights for the analysis of production and distribution, inter/transmedia dynamics, and the intercultural processes of fandom. This ecosystem stands out for its ability to permeate various media formats, thereby creating a rich transmedia universe. A prime example of its success is the 12-episode anime series, which first aired in Japan in 1979. This series delineates a path reflecting the metamorphosis of media consumption and practices in contemporary mediascape. Furthermore, Lady Oscar (the name given to the anime in France and Italy, where it achieved considerable success) (1979-1980, Nippon Television) assumes a pivotal role in discussions on gender representation in popular culture. The series challenges the tenets of heterosexual romanticism and traditional gender roles, with the protagonist serving as an icon of resistance against gender norms. She offers an alternative model of identity and relationships, resonating with contemporary issues of gender and sexuality. This analysis encompasses the intercultural and transnational processes, focusing on how The Rose of Versailles has captivated an international fandom, particularly in France and Italy. The series becomes a medium for exploring universal themes such as gender identity, social conflicts, and political dynamics, illustrating how a narrative can transcend cultural and geographical boundaries, influencing the perception and discussion of social issues in various contexts. Lady Oscar exemplifies how a television series can act as a crucial medium in narrating social and cultural transformations. Through its transmedia evolution, challenging gender roles, and intercultural resonance, the series provides a unique glimpse into the interaction between production, distribution, consumption, and participation in the contemporary media landscape.

Analysis of a model with a common source of CP violation

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We work in a model where all CP violating phenomena have a common source. CP is spontaneously broken at a large scale $V$ through the phase of a complex singlet scalar. An additional $SU(2)_L$ singlet vector-like down-type quark relates this high scale CP violation to low energy. We quantitatively analyze this model in the quark sector. We obtain the numerical values of the parameters of the Lagrangian in the quark sector for a specific ansatz of the $4\times4$ down-type quark mass matrix where the weak phase is generated minimally. $Z \bar b b$ vertex will modify in presence of the extra vector-like down-type quark. From the experimental lower bound of the partial decay width $Z\to \bar b b$ we find out the lower bound of the additional down-type quark mass. Tree level flavor changing neutral current appears in this model due to the presence of the extra vector-like down-type quark. We give the range of values of the mass splitting $Δm_{B_q}$ in $B^0_q-{\bar B}^0_q$ system using SM box, $Z$ mediating tree level and $Z$ mediating one loop diagrams together for both $q=d, s$. We find out the analytical expression for $Γ_{12}^q$ in this model from standard box, $Z$ and Higgs mediated penguin diagrams for $B^0_q-{\bar B}^0_q$ system, $q=d,s$. From this we numerically evaluate the decay width difference $|ΔΓ_{B_q}/Γ_{B_q}|$. We also find out the numerical values of the CP asymmetry parameters $a_J$ and $a_π$ for the decays $B^0_d\to J/ψK_s$ and $B^0_d\to π^+ π^-$ respectively. We get the lower bound of the scale $V$ through the upper bound of the strong CP phase.

description: This study examines the potential magnitude and distribution of the costs and benefits of allowing developing countries to establish Special Safeguards (SSGs) for staple agricultural commodities. An inter-temporal general equilibrium model used to simulate the static and dynamic effects of SSGs. Our results indicate that developing countries in aggregate lose welfare when SSGs are imposed for staple food and for all agricultural commodities as opposed to agricultural trade liberalization without SSGs. However, the distribution of gains and losses among developing countries is not uniform.

description: (Shortened version): The mass loss rates, expansion velocities and dust-to-gas density ratios from millimetric observations of 119 carbon-rich giants are compared, as functions of stellar parameters, to the predictions of recent hydrodynamical models. Distances and luminosities previously estimated from HIPPARCOS data, masses from pulsations and C/O abundance ratios from spectroscopy, and effective temperatures from a new homogeneous scale, are used. Predicted and observed mass loss rates agree fairly well, as functions of effective temperature.(shortened). Four stars with detached shells, i.e. episodic strong mass loss, and five cool infrared carbon-rich stars with optically-thick dust shells, have mass loss rates much larger than predicted values.(shortened). Recent drift models can contribute to minimize the discrepancy since they include more dust. Simple approximate formulae are proposed.

Frictions in Fiction. La rappresentazione dell’invecchiamento femminile nella serie televisiva Feud: Bette e Joan.
Creators: name: Mascio, Antonella
Publisher: name: Funes. Journal of narratives and social sciences
Year: 2024

description: The focus of the article consists in the analysis of the ways frictions and crises linked to aging are depicted in the first season (Bette and Joan) of the TV series Feud (2017-2024, FX), through the story of two cinema icons, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. On screen the aging process is narrated at a critical moment for Hollywood at a time when women after the age of forty were no longer deemed suitable or interesting for movie making. The narrative modulation recalls the set of problems connected with sexism and misogyny, quite present in the film industry of the time. In Feud: Bette and Joan (2017) Bette Davis and Joan Crawford are in their turn played by two other important protagonists of the cinema industry: Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange. The presence of these two great actresses further define an additional level of textual interpretations, linked to contemporaneity. The complexity of the storytelling therefore provides the audiences with the opportunity to move on, and around, several levels and frameworks, as Feud: Bette and Joan recalls differing time frames, making them overlap. On the one hand, an ‘archival’ model is being used through fragments which are remakes of past excerpts, and open up to a specific and shared historical memory for parts of the audience. On the other hand, there are different jumps which lead viewers elsewhere, closer to the present from the central focus of storytelling. In essence, reality is constantly recalled, in a form similar to docu-fiction, thus expanding the possibility for the TV series to establish ties with contemporaneity as well. A feature emerging from the analysis of Feud: Bette and Joan refers to the use of the Hollywood setting as the metaphor of a bigger space-world than the mere cinema industry, thus promoting a reflection on the issue of women’s aging more broadly. Therefore, the sparks caused by fiction-friction give rise to discursive explosions capable of bringing new light – and new values – to aging, becoming part of the broader debate at a socio-cultural level.

Marginal deformation of N=4 SYM and Penrose limits with continuum spectrum

description: We study the Penrose limit about a null geodesic with 3 equal angular momenta in the recently obtained type IIB solution dual to an exactly marginal $γ$-deformation of N=4 SYM. The resulting background has non-trivial NS 3-form flux as well as RR 5- and 3-form fluxes. We quantise the light-cone Green-Schwarz action and show that it exhibits a continuum spectrum. We show that this is related to the dynamics of a charged particle moving in a Landau plane with an extra interaction induced by the deformation. We interpret the results in the dual N=1 SCFT.

The Role of Product Placement in Serial Storytelling.
Creators: name: Mortara, Ariela

Publisher: name: Funes. Journal of narratives and social sciences
Year: 2024

description: In the last decades, TV series have increasingly become an ideal platform for product placement initiatives due to their relatively quick production process and the variety of advertising opportunities they offer through sound, visual or integrated placements (Russell, 2019). Moreover, in recent years, streaming platforms have further promoted this form of communication by creating serialized content that resonates strongly with younger audiences, who tend to favour non-traditional media (Li, 2023). The continued increase of global revenues further underscores the success of product placement, with projections anticipating a surge to $29 billion in 2023 (Navarro, 2023). This reflects a notable increase of over 12% compared to the preceding year. In this context, the paper aims to analyse product placement in the series And Just Like That..., the sequel to Sex and the City. In particular, it will focus on two antithetical cases: the so-called “negative placement”, which occurs when the inclusion of a brand or product is linked to a narrative element detrimental to the image of the brand itself, and “positive placement”, a promotional strategy that instead enhances the appeal and visibility of the featured product within the narration.

In a galaxy (no longer) far, far away, The Mandalorian between platformization and processes of celebrification.
Creators: name: Castellano, Simona
Publisher: name: Funes. Journal of narratives and social sciences
Year: 2024

description: The paper’s main aim is to analyse the television series The Mandalorian, placed within the transmedia narrative ecosystem (Pescatore, 2018) of Star Wars, to reflect on several particularly urgent issues concerning the contemporary mediascape and, more generally, the digital society we live in. Distributed by Disney+ in Italy in March 2020 (2019 in the USA), the series covered by the paper allows us to advance multiple considerations. First, it will enable us to reflect on complex television (Mittell, 2017) and how this has changed regarding renewed spectatorship (Tirino, 2020). Secondly, it allows us to reflect on new modes of consumption, production, and distribution related to the rise of SVOD services and OTT Television (Re, 2017b) and, in this case, the existence of a (proprietary) platform of the Walt Disney Company group. The Mandalorian also allows us to focus on the evolution of transmedia storytelling (within the Star Wars universe or, more generally, within the mediascape in which we live). A further aspect concerns the concept of celebrity: the production’s choice fell on the actor Pedro Pascal to play the Mandalorian; the actor participated in the promotional events linked to the release of the series, but for almost the entire duration of the first season and the second one a helmet and armour cover him. After contextualising the television series, the paper intends to highlight the abovementioned aspects.

description: Good training data is a prerequisite to develop useful ML applications. However, in many domains existing data sets cannot be shared due to privacy regulations (e.g., from medical studies). This work investigates a simple yet unconventional approach for anonymized data synthesis to enable third parties to benefit from such private data. We explore the feasibility of learning implicitly from unrealistic, task-relevant stimuli, which are synthesized by exciting the neurons of a trained deep neural network (DNN). As such, neuronal excitation serves as a pseudo-generative model. The stimuli data is used to train new classification models. Furthermore, we extend this framework to inhibit representations that are associated with specific individuals. We use sleep monitoring data from both an open and a large closed clinical study and evaluate whether (1) end-users can create and successfully use customized classification models for sleep apnea detection, and (2) the identity of participants in the study is protected. Extensive comparative empirical investigation shows that different algorithms trained on the stimuli are able generalize successfully on the same task as the original model. However, architectural and algorithmic similarity between new and original models play an important role in performance. For similar architectures, the performance is close to that of using the true data (e.g., Accuracy difference of 0.56\%, Kappa coefficient difference of 0.03-0.04). Further experiments show that the stimuli can to a large extent successfully anonymize participants of the clinical studies.

The result is compared to the black hole free energy obtained from the conjectured relation to topological strings. If certain perturbative corrections are included agreement is found to subleading order. These corrections modify the conjectured relation and implement covariance with respect to electric-magnetic duality transformations.

We study the effects of patterning the cladding or the core layer of a 3-layer optical waveguide on the polarization properties of propagating radiation. Particular attention is paid to the case when the core material is a semiconductor with optical gain. We discuss a number of devices based on incorporating an uniaxially patterned layer in the structure design, such as a polarization-insensitive amplifier, a polarizer, an optically-controlled polarization switch, and an optically controlled modal coupler.

Bachelorarbeit

description: Diese Bachelorarbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Thema Körperwahrnehmung und der Förderung dieses Wahrnehmungsbereiches. Durch Aufarbeitung von Theorie sind wir der Bedeutung der Körperwahrnehmung nachgegangen und haben versucht, Teilbereiche davon zu erarbeiten und neu zu kategorisieren. Als Grundlage dafür diente die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Begriff der Wahrnehmung allgemein und den verschiedenen Sinnessystemen, welche die Körperwahrnehmung beeinflussen. In dieser Arbeit wird ausserdem versucht, den Einfluss der Körperwahrnehmung auf das Selbstwertgefühl zu beschreiben. Die theoretischen Überlegungen dienten als Grundlage für die Erstellung eines Entwicklungsprojektes zur spielerischen Förderung der Körperwahrnehmung in der Psychomotoriktherapie. Für die Auswertung des Projektes wurde unter anderem der DITKA (diagnostisches Inventar taktil-kinästhetischer Alltagshandlungen) verwendet.

description: The Earth's ecosystems provide myriad goods and services that are essential to human wellbeing. This paper offers a typology of ecosystem services that emphasizes the means by which humans experience the service rendered. The typology distinguishes between services that are directly experienced, and those that are indirect. The paper offers an illustration of how indirect services can be valued when they contributed to production of a marketed product. The intermediate product method described is amenable to indirect services that are one stage removed (Tier 2), two stages removed (Tier 3), or even farther removed from the direct services that humans experience. The intermediate product approach to ecosystem service valuation is illustrated by an example of biological pest management to support soybean food production.

description: In an era of rapid and changing technological advances, a firm's survival and growth depends on its' ability to introduce products to the market. Since a firm's growth and survival depends on its' ability to develop products and services over time (Penrose, 1959), the question posed by this study is what determines a firm's ability to introduce products to market? In this study, a firm's ability to introduce product to markets are influenced by its' "absorptive capacity" to identify and internalize the resource benefits of its' alliance partners. Such an integrated view is absent in firm level and strategic alliance studies of product development. A conceptual model of firm product introductions is developed and empirically tested. Results generally support the hypotheses of this study.
The meaning and lived experience of permanent childlessness as a result of infertility
Creators: name: Hood, Leslie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this study was to examine infertile couples' subjective experience of permanent childlessness after they elected not to pursue other parenting options. This study involved the secondary analysis of data from a phenomenological study exploring the transition to biological childlessness for infertile couples (Daniluk et al., 1996). In that study, a qualitative phenomenological methodology was used to guide the data collection and analysis. Data were gathered through four unstructured, in-depth interviews over a period of three years with a volunteer sample of nine infertile couples from different regions in Canada. Participants were between the ages of 29 and 48 when the study began. All couples had ended infertility treatment and considered their childlessness to be permanent. To explore the lived experience of permanent childlessness after failed infertility treatment, the data were analyzed according to Colaizzi's (1978) method of phenomenological data analysis. Seven common themes emerged, which included the following experiences: (a) a need to protect themselves; (b) a sense of lessening emotional intensity; (c) a sense of regaining control; (d) a need to revision life and identity; (e) a sense of appreciation for the strength of their relationship; (f) a sense of recognition and reconciliation to their fate; (g) a need to make sense of their experience. These findings led to specific recommendations for future research, as well as implications for the counselling profession with respect to working with infertile couples.

description: In this policy brief, we highlight the critical role of headline indicators in monitoring progress towards the goals of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). We argue that to enhance the effectiveness of these and other indicators, we need to implement FAIR principles (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability) across all components involved in indicator calculation—data, workflows, and indicators themselves.

Key points include:

FAIR Principles: The necessity for all data and methodologies to be openly shared and adhere to FAIR principles to facilitate collaborative monitoring efforts among Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).

Standardized Metadata: The importance of guidelines and standardized metadata to ensure consistent usage and interpretation of indicators, with new indicators developed following established standards.

Support for Capacity Building: Continuous support is essential for building capacity and developing user-friendly tools to promote broader adoption of indicators across various countries.

Implementation Infrastructure: A robust and interconnected data and informatics infrastructure is required to streamline the collection, harmonization, and sharing of biodiversity data and workflows.

Policy Recommendations: We call for increased support for data repositories, the development of interconnected infrastructures, adherence to Open and FAIR principles, and the standardization of metadata to improve the usability of indicators.

In conclusion, we advocate for a comprehensive and collaborative approach to biodiversity monitoring, emphasizing the need for standardization, transparency, and sustained support to effectively track and report on biodiversity changes globally.

description: This paper presents a framework to determine optimal resource allocation over time for the production of a good by heterogeneous producers who generate a stock externality. We analyze the optimal intertemporal and quality-specific combination of abatement strategies at the source given by a change in the intensity of production and in the chosen technology, and/or removal of existing pollution stock. The results show how the specifications of the production and the emission functions affect technology adoption and the design of the optimal intertemporal combination of source and stock abatement strategies. Moreover, the paper shows that regulation at the intensive margin cannot be considered as a substitute for a regulation at the extensive margin. The paper employs the so-called two-stage solution approach for solving the resulting quality distributed-intertemporal optimal control problem.
The Impacts of WTO and Water Policy Changes on Saudi Arabian Agriculture: Results from an Equilibrium Displacement Model

Subjects: Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety

description: Saudi Arabia's food consumption has grown dramatically over time. There has been a sharp increase in food consumption and significant changes in the composition of food consumed. Therefore, it is important that the government of Saudi Arabia anticipate further effects of these changes on growth of food demand and focus on food policies that contribute to development goals. On the other hand, limited agricultural productivity and the nature of the country's climatic conditions have constrained agricultural production. This restricted growth in production, combined with population growth, has led Saudi Arabia to depend heavily on food imports to cover the gap between domestic demand and local production. The increased reliance on imports as a source of food will increase the country's import demand. These main problems facing the Saudi agricultural sector suggest the need for an analytical framework that can evaluate effects of policy and resource change on imports, local production and local demand simultaneously. Ideally, the framework should account for substitution and income effects across products that might arise from changes in consumption and production patterns. This is the main objective of this paper.

description: The President has called for a $6.96 billion savings in expenditures to agriculture over a five year period. A budget reconciliation is required to achieve these targeted savings from farm bill authorized expenditures. This study uses optimal control theory and farm level simulation to quantify the impacts on U.S. crop producers of reducing federal spending for agricultural income supports. Results indicate that the least harmful method for the Agricultural Committees to achieve budget savings of $3 billion is to reduce loan rates. At higher levels of net budget savings, some risk adverse decision makers would prefer that the Committees reduce target prices.
A relation between moduli space of D-branes on orbifolds and Ising model

description: We study D-branes transverse to an abelian orbifold C^3/Z_n Z_n. The moduli space of the gauge theory on the D-branes is analyzed by combinatorial calculation based on toric geometry. It is shown that the calculation is related to a problemto count the number of ground states of an antiferromagnetic Ising model. The lattice on which the Ising model is defined is a triangular one defined on the McKay quiver of the orbifold.

description: The multiplicity dependence of the pseudorapidity density of charged particles in proton-proton (pp) collisions at centre-of-mass energies $\sqrt{s}$ = 5.02, 7 and 13 TeV measured by ALICE is reported. The analysis relies on track segments measured in the midrapidity range ($|η| < 1.5$). Results are presented for inelastic events having at least one charged particle produced in the pseudorapidity interval $|η|<1$ ($\mathrm{INEL}_{>0}$). The multiplicity dependence of the pseudorapidy density of charged particles is measured with mid and forward rapidity multiplicity estimators, the latter being less affected by autocorrelations. A detailed comparison with predictions from the PYTHIA 8 and EPOS LHC event generators is also presented. Both generators provide a good description of the data.

description: We present an implementation of Wilson's renormalization group and a continuum limit tailored for loop quantization. The dynamics of loop quantized theories is constructed as a continuum limit of dynamics of effective theories. After presenting the general formalism we show as first explicit example the 2d Ising field theory. It is an interacting relativistic quantum field theory with local degrees of freedom quantized by loop quantization techniques.
