description: La presente investigación aborda la problemática de la gestión de residuos peligrosos en Bogotá D.C. Esta categoría de residuos, debido a sus características de peligrosidad, representan un riesgo significativo para el medio ambiente y la salud humana, que, a pesar de las regulaciones y políticas ambientales, un gran porcentaje de estos residuos aún se dispone en rellenos de seguridad, lo que genera pasivos ambientales. En ese sentido, la investigación busca identificar las principales corrientes de residuos peligrosos generados en Bogotá D.C. y proponer alternativas viables de aprovechamiento que promuevan un modelo de economía circular. Mediante un enfoque mixto que combina análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo, se realizó análisis estadístico, mapas de calor, encuestas y entrevistas a grandes generadores de residuos. Los resultados revelan que, aunque existen tecnologías y alternativas de aprovechamiento, su implementación es limitada debido a la falta de conocimiento, desconfianza en el cumplimiento normativo y barreras operativas. Finalmente, la investigación concluye con las recomendaciones para optimizar la gestión de residuos peligrosos en Bogotá D.C., promoviendo prácticas sostenibles que reduzcan el impacto ambiental y aprovechen el potencial económico de estos residuos.
description: This study addresses the challenges associated with hazardous waste management in Bogotá D.C. Despite the presence of environmental regulations and policies, a substantial proportion of hazardous waste continues to be disposed of in safe landfills, leading to significant environmental liabilities. The objective of this research is to identify the primary streams of hazardous waste generated in Bogotá D.C. and to propose viable utilization alternatives that align with a circular economy model. Employing a mixed-methods approach that integrates both quantitative and qualitative analyses, the study utilizes heat maps, surveys, and interviews with major waste generators. The findings indicate that, although technologies and utilization alternatives exist, their adoption is hindered by a lack of awareness, distrust in regulatory compliance, and operational barriers. The study concludes with strategic recommendations aimed at optimizing hazardous waste management in Bogotá D.C., fostering sustainable practices that mitigate environmental impact and harness the economic potential of hazardous waste.

description: Opinion dynamics have attracted the interest of researchers from different fields. Local interactions among individuals create interesting dynamics for the system as a whole. Such dynamics are important from a variety of perspectives. Group decision making, successful marketing, and constructing networks (in which consensus can be reached or prevented) are a few examples of existing or potential applications. The invention of the Internet has made the opinion fusion faster, unilateral, and on a whole different scale. Spread of fake news, propaganda, and election interferences have made it clear there is an essential need to know more about these dynamics. The emergence of new ideas in the field has accelerated over the last few years. In the first quarter of 2020, at least 50 research papers have emerged, either peer-reviewed and published or on pre-print outlets such as arXiv. In this paper, we summarize these ground-breaking ideas and their fascinating extensions and introduce newly surfaced concepts.
Counting Multiple Solutions in Glassy Random Matrix Models

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This is a first step in counting the number of multiple solutions in certain glassy random matrix models introduced in refs. \cite{d02}. We are able to do this by reducing the problem of counting the multiple solutions to that of a moment problem. More precisely we count the number of different moments when we introduce an asymmetry (tapping) in the random matrix model and then take it to vanish. It is shown here that the number of moments grows exponentially with respect to N the size of the matrix. As these models map onto models of structural glasses in the high temperature phase (liquid) this may have interesting implications for the supercooled liquid phase in these spin glass models. Further it is shown that the nature of the asymmetry (tapping) is crutial in finding the multiple solutions. This also clarifies some of the puzzles we raised in ref. \cite{bd99}.

description: The middle income trap is an objective challenge faced in the development of the economy. There is provision in both the amount and time. It is worth studying why some Latin American countries have fallen into this trap for decades. This paper analyzed the causes for the middle income trap of Latin American economies. On this basis, it came up with recommendations for China’s leaping paths, including accelerating the structural reforms on the supply front to promote industrial transformation and upgrading, deepening the reform and increasing the efficiency with institutional innovation as the core, protecting legitimate property rights, reforming the income distribution, combining accurate poverty alleviation, narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, performing administration according to laws, vigorously developing education, expanding the opening up, and keeping sustainable growth, so as to successfully leap over the middle income trap.

description: Der Beitrag setzt sich mit einer politischen Aktion(sform) auseinander, mit der feministisch gegen das Verbot von Schwangerschaftsabbrüchen protestiert wurde. Die transnationale Aktionsform der kollektiven Busfahrten in die Niederlande wird dabei als (doppelsinnige) Freiheitsaktion und vier-dimensional ver-körperte Direkte Aktion im Sinne anarchistischer Selbsthilfe am bundesdeutschen Staat vorbei analysiert. Es handelte sich um eine frauenbewegte Handlungsoffensive machtvoller Gemeinschaftlichkeit, die, 1975 beginnend, solidarische Kollektivität und Öffentlichkeit als Strategie nutzte, um eine faktische Durchsetzung des Selbstbestimmungsrechts zu erwirken: In der Form der politischen Aktion wurde das Ziel selbst sichtbar gemacht (Konkretheit) und dieses unmittelbar durch die Abtreibungen erreicht (Implementierung). Empowernd schuf die Aktionsform selbstorganisierte Handlungsspielräume, wies dabei Angst und Scham zurück und delegitimierte das Gesetz. Nach einer reflexiven Kritik wurde die Aktionsform 1977 eingestellt. Resümierend werden die vorliegenden 11 Prinzipien einer Konzeption feministischen Widerstands um die Aktionsformaspekte feministische Reflexion und Solidarität erweitert.

description: Agricultural production efficiency in Taiwan of China in 2015 is studied by using three-stage DEA model. The results show that total output value of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery is taken as output index, while employees of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, number of tractors, investment in dry land and paddy field are taken as input indexes, which meets "isotropic" condition assumption of model application. Natural disaster, number of workers in agricultural production and marketing class, expenditure on farmland water conservancy are not favorable for the promotion of agricultural production efficiency, while multiple cropping index is favorable for promoting agricultural production efficiency. Three-stage DEA model effectively eliminates the influences of environmental and random factors on agricultural production efficiency. After environmental and random factors are eliminated, comprehensive technical efficiency in Taiwan of China declines because of the decline of pure technical efficiency. Each county and city of Taiwan could be divided into different types according to pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency, and it can have some emphasis in improving agricultural production efficiency according to their own efficiency characteristics.

description: Im Mittelpunkt des Beitrags steht ein Sharing von Gerard X Reyes, das vom Theorem der Sexarbeit inspiriert wird. Das Sharing des Choreografen, Tänzers, Lehrers, zertifizierten Sexological Bodyworkers, Intimacy Coordinators und Montreal Kiki Ballroom Scene Pioniers Reyes wird im Sinne einer tanzwissenschaftlichen Aufführungsanalyse diskursiv verhandelt. Dabei basiert der Prozess der Bedeutungszuschreibung auf der Grundlage einer Foucault’schen Diskursanalyse. Das generierte Anschauungsmodell erfolgt zwar entlang der Aufführung, ist aber stets nur eine Analyse der Aufführung, die ihren eigenen Diskurs erzeugt. Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass Darstellungen und Verweise zu Sexarbeit am Körper und seinen Materialisierungsprozessen befragbar sind und in Verkörperungsprozessen sowie Darstellungsweisen zum Ausdruck kommen. Im Fokus der Analyse steht eine Bedeutungsgenerierung, in welcher Reyes’ Performance als ästhetische und ethische Situation im Theaterraum im Kontext der Konzepte Erotik, Leidenschaft, Begehren sowie der Kategorien sex, gender und desire betrachtet wird. Dies führt dazu, dass die Performance als Ausdruck eines queeren Begehrens begrifflich bestimmt wird.

description: La renta por comparación patrimonial es una renta gravable especial que permite establecer un control sobre la evasión en el impuesto de Renta, que en primera instancia puede obedecer a una omisión de ingresos realizados y no declarados oportunamente por parte del contribuyente y se encuentra regulada en los artículos 236 a 239-1 del E.T. en armonía con el artículo 91 del decreto 187 de 1975. Por lo anteriormente expuesto el incremento patrimonial en las personas naturales residentes en Colombia, en los últimos tiempos ha tomado gran importancia dentro de los planes de Auditoria y cruce de información por parte de la Administración Tributaria; por cuanto este incremento que compara el patrimonio líquido de un año a otro debe estar debidamente justificado. En este orden de ideas este trabajo proporciona unas herramientas que permiten estudiar y planear estratégicamente cada uno de los conceptos y escenarios de incremento patrimonial, así mismo establecer algunos lineamientos fiscales que adopten un plan contable y tributario direccionado a estructurar cada una de las posibles justificaciones de un incremento patrimonial. De igual manera mediante ejemplos prácticos y sencillos se explica el tema de una forma más comprensible y didáctica.
description: The income by equity comparison is a special taxable income that allows establishing a control on income tax evasion. Which in the first instance may be due to an omission of income made and not timely declared by the taxpayer. This is regulated in articles 236 to 239-1 of the E.T. in accordance with article 91 of decree 187 of 1975. Regarding the above mentioned, the increase in net worth of individuals residing in Colombia in recent times has taken great importance within the audit plans and cross-checking of information by the Tax Administration, because this increase that compares the net worth from one year to another must be duly justified. This work provides tools that allow the studying of and strategic planning of each one of the concepts and scenarios of net worth increase, as well as to establish some fiscal guidelines that adopt an accounting and tax plan directed to structure each one of the possible justifications of a net worth increase. Explanation of the concepts are explained in a much more didactic way in the form of practical examples.

description: While soliton microcombs offer the potential for integration of powerful frequency metrology and precision spectroscopy systems, their operation requires complex startup and feedback protocols that necessitate difficult-to-integrate optical and electrical components. Moreover, CMOS-rate microcombs, required in nearly all comb systems, have resisted integration because of their power requirements. Here, a regime for turnkey operation of soliton microcombs co-integrated with a pump laser is demonstrated and theoretically explained. Significantly, a new operating point is shown to appear from which solitons are generated through binary turn-on and turn-off of the pump laser, thereby eliminating all photonic/electronic control circuitry. These features are combined with high-Q $Si_3N_4$ resonators to fully integrate into a butterfly package microcombs with CMOS frequencies as low as 15 GHz, offering compelling advantages for high-volume production.

description: Im Kontext der Pläne zum Prostituiertenschutzgesetz (ProstSchG) organisierten sich Sexarbeitende in Deutschland ab 2013 kollektiv, um kontrollierende und repressive Maßnahmen abzuwehren. Der Beitrag zeichnet die Entwicklung dieser politischen Selbstorganisierung bis zur Verabschiedung des ProstSchG in 2016 nach. Basierend auf einer zweijährigen enthnografischen Forschung mit politisch aktiven Sexarbeitenden stelle ich dar, wie sich Sexarbeitende im Feld der Prostitutionspolitik positionierten, in welchem Verhältnis andere politische Akteur_innen zu ihnen standen und welche Ambivalenzen und Konfliktlinien sich bildeten. Sexarbeitende scheiterten schließlich in ihrem Ziel, das ProstSchG zu verhindern. Mit dessen Verabschiedung trat zwar eine Ernüchterung, jedoch auch eine Diversifizierung der Selbstorganisierung ein. Sexarbeitende waren daher erfolgreich darin, eine anhaltende Bewegung aufzubauen, die seither etablierte Akteurin in der sich weiter transformierenden deutschen Prostitutionspolitik ist.

description: The 2013 reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) introduced compulsory ‘greening’ measures with the goal to mitigate environmental degradation caused by intensive agriculture. This paper aims to investigate how the implementation of the Ecological Focus Areas (EFA) obligation will affect regional agricultural development, the economic performance of farms and land use (including choices of EFA measures) in two representative EU regions. The research approach combines agentbased modelling (ABM) with stakeholder interactions to evaluate how farmers are likely to adapt to the new policy framework and the implications for their behaviour of the different components of the EFA obligation. Our results show that structural impacts of EFA measures are minor in both regions. The most preferred alternatives (fallow land in Sweden and catch crops in Germany) are income preserving for farmers rather than being effective for improving the environment. However, general concerns by farmers for biodiversity and the potential benefits for developing sustainable agriculture were revealed during the stakeholder workshops.We conclude that the large flexibility in choice of measures, watering down of the EFA regulations, implementation at the farm scale and lack of spatial targeting will all but eliminate any potential environmental benefits of the greening measures and subsequently, undermine farmers’ and citizens’ confidence in the CAP and its makers.

description: In a previous paper, we developed a numerical method to obtain a static black hole localized on a 3-brane in the Randall-Sundrum infinite braneworld, and presented examples of numerical solutions that describe small localized black holes. In this paper we quantitatively analyze the behavior of the numerically obtained black hole solutions, focusing on thermodynamic quantities. The thermodynamic relations show that the localized black hole deviates smoothly from a five-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole, which is a solution in the limit of a small horizon radius. We compare the thermodynamic behavior of these solutions with that of the exact solution on the 2-brane in the 4D braneworld. We find similarities between them.

description: At the beginning of 2012, a small group of economists working on non-market valuation, led by Pierre-Alexandre Mahieu, decided to meet regularly to share their knowledge on valuation methods. The main objectives of this workshop were (i) to provide a forum for dissemination of high-quality papers presenting recent developments in theoretical and empirical analyses in the field of non-market valuation and (ii) to create a network of researchers (including worldwide experts) that would meet every year. WONV quickly became an annual international workshop. Every year, about 30 researchers meet in a different European city. Both theoretical and applied papers dealing with stated preference methods (e.g., contingent valuation, choice experiments) and revealed preference methods (e.g., travel cost method, hedonic pricing method) are presented. Empirical applications mainly deal with environmental and resource economics but applications to other domains (e.g., health, agriculture) are welcome.

description: This paper analyzes the demand for recreation in Swiss forests using the individual travel cost method. We apply a two-steps approach, i.e., a hurdle zerotruncated negative binomial model, that allows accounting for a large number of nonvisitors caused by the off-site phone survey and over-dispersion. Given the national scale of the survey, we group forest zones to assess consumer surpluses and travel cost elasticities for relatively homogeneous forest types.We find that forest recreation activities are travel cost inelastic and show that recreation in Swiss forests provides large benefits to the population. The most populated area is associated with greater consumer surpluses, but the lack of recreational infrastructure may cause a lower recreational benefit in some zones. For these zones, recreational benefits may be lower than costs caused by maintenance. More efficient management would require either improving recreational infrastructure thus increasing benefits, or switching the forest status from recreational to biodiversity forest hence decreasing management costs.

description: Publications on the modelling and mapping of ecosystem services (ESs) have increased exponentially in recent years. In this literature, a call for integrated environmental assessment is increasingly made, even if, in the ES context, the concept of integration remains fuzzy and can refer to different elements. First, this review paper attempts to clarify to which elements the word ‘integration’ is attributable in the ES literature. Integrated assessment can refer to the consideration of pluralistic values, the attention paid to several ESs and ecosystems, the accounting for multiple spatial and temporal scales, the implication of different stakeholders or the combination of techniques stemming from different disciplines. Second, this paper provides a review of the latest advances in the literature on mapping ESs, from the ecological to the economic perspective, in order to illustrate what can be done and what progress remains to be made to perform integrated and spatially explicit assessments of ESs. Third, this paper reviews examples of studies performing integrated assessments using the different meanings integration can take. Finally, it concludes by presenting the remaining challenges that research on this topic faces to perform fully integrated spatial assessments.
Sub-Day Timescale X-ray Spectral Variability of the TeV Blazars Mrk 421 and 1ES 1959+650

description: We present X-ray spectra ($0.7-20$ keV) of two high synchrotron-peaked blazars Mrk 421 and 1ES 1959+650 from simultaneous observations by the SXT and LAXPC instruments onboard \textit{AstroSat} and the \textit{Swift}-XRT during multiple intervals in 2016-19. The spectra of individual epochs are satisfactorily fitted by the log-parabola model. We carry out time-resolved X-ray spectroscopy using the \textit{AstroSat} data with a time resolution of $\sim$10 ks at all epochs, and study the temporal evolution of the best-fit spectral parameters of the log-parabola model. The energy light curves, with duration ranging from $0.5-5$ days, show intra-day variability and change in brightness states from one epoch to another. We find that the variation of the spectral index ($α$) at hours to days timescale has an inverse relation with the energy flux and the peak energy of the spectrum, which indicates a harder-when-brighter trend in the blazars. The variation of curvature ($β$) does not follows a clear trend with the flux and has an anti-correlation with $α$. Comparison with spectral variation simulated using a theoretical model of time variable nonthermal emission from blazar jets shows that radiative cooling and gradual acceleration of emitting particles belonging to an initial simple power-law energy distribution can reproduce most of the variability patterns of the spectral parameters at sub-day timescales.

description: Various forms of income subsidy and price support programs have been a part of government farm policy since early in the 20th Century. The most recent farm program legislation, the Agriculture and Consumer Protection Act of 1973, uses the concept of "target prices" to activate income subsidies to farmers if market prices should decline below these "target" or support levels. Current discussions concerning new farm policy programs include proposals to increase the support prices for feed grains. In addition, it has been proposed that the support prices be adjusted in future years based on USDA cost of production studies to reflect changes in the prices of production inputs. In reality, this adjustment process is a form of inflation indexing as practiced in many other sectors of the U.S. economy. Controversy has arisen in specification of the indexing process concerning the measurement of costs, particularly the annual charge for services of land, and the procedure to be used in reflecting land value increases in the index.

description: The work function is the parameter of greatest interest in many technological applications involving charge exchange mechanisms at the interface. The possibility to produce samples with a controlled work function is then particularly interesting, albeit challenging. We synthetized nanostructured vanadium oxides films by a room temperature Supersonic Cluster Beam Deposition method, obtaining samples with tunable stoichiometry and work function (3.7-7 eV). We present an investigation of the electronic structure of several vanadium oxides films as a function of the oxygen content via in-situ Auger, valence-band photoemission spectroscopy and work function measurements. The experiments probed the partial 3d density of states, highlighting the presence of strong V3d-O2p and V3d-V4s hybridization which influence 3d occupation. We show how controlling the stoichiometry of the sample implies a control over work function, and that the access to nanoscale quantum confinement can be exploited to increase the work function of the sample relative to the bulk analogue. In general, the knowledge of the interplay among work function, electronic structure, and stoichiometry is strategic to match nanostructured oxides to their target applications.

description: Price supports have been at the heart of agricultural policy for many years. In this year's debate over a farm bill the level of price supports and the method of adjusting price supports were central issues. What standard should be used for setting equitable supports? ''Parity" was the standard of the past. "Cost of Production" is the favorite this year. What will be the next standard? In this paper five methods of adjusting price supports are discussed. After a brief description of each, they are compared using several economic and pragmatic criteria.
Cláusula arbitral deportiva en las relaciones contractuales derivadas del fútbol : un análisis de la normativa y jurisprudencia de la FIFA y el TAD

description: El fútbol es el deporte más popular y la disciplina deportiva a nivel profesional y semiprofesional más practicada a nivel mundial, al punto que su organización, la Federación Internacional de Fútbol Asociado (FIFA), es una de las más grandes. Dada la dimensión de la FIFA como estructura organizacional y regulatoria de este deporte a nivel internacional, interviene más allá del escenario deportivo con causas contractuales las cuales requieren de celeridad y especialidad. La FIFA, con la finalidad de proveer a sus miembros alternativas jurídicas idóneas y eficaces, ha dispuesto de órganos judiciales para asuntos deportivos y un Tribunal del Fútbol para asuntos contractuales. No obstante, la FIFA mediante sus Estatutos otorga competencia al Tribunal de Arbitraje Deportivo (TAD) por reunir las características necesarias para complementar la función jurisdiccional de la FIFA como última instancia. Con base en investigaciones jurídicas y en el estudio jurisprudencial de decisiones de la FIFA, del TAD y de algunos Tribunales ordinarios, se han identificado casos en los que se perciben dificultades sobre la competencia y el derecho aplicable en los asuntos contractuales de jurisdicción de la FIFA.
description: Football is the most popular sport, which is why it is the most practiced professional and semi-professional sport worldwide, to the point that its organization, the International Federation of Associated Football (FIFA), is one of the largest. Given the size of FIFA as an organizational and regulatory structure for this sport at an international level, it intervenes beyond the sports scene with contractual causes that require promptness and specialization. To provide its members with suitable and effective legal alternatives, FIFA has established judicial bodies for sports matters and a Football Tribunal for contractual matters. However, FIFA, through its Statutes, grants jurisdiction to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) for meeting the necessary characteristics to complement FIFA’s jurisdictional function as a last resort. Based on legal research and jurisprudential study of decisions by FIFA, CAS, and some ordinary courts, cases have been identified in which there is a conflict of jurisdiction and applicable law in contractual matters under FIFA’s jurisdiction.

description: ,Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a factor that influences the development and survival of a company. This study aims to analyze several factors that influence disclosure of corporate social responsibility (CSR) by managerial ownership testing, institutional ownership, and public share ownership. The population used is a company registered in the IDX30 index of the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2015-2017, which amounted to 40 companies. The sampling technique uses a purposive sampling technique. The samples taken are 39 samples that meet the criteria of purposive sampling. Data is obtained from annual reports and sustainability reports (if any). This study uses a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis. The results of this study indicate that: first, managerial ownership affects the disclosure of corporate social responsibility; second, institutional ownership does not affect the disclosure of corporate social responsibility; and third, public share ownership affects the disclosure of corporate social responsibility. These results implicate that the internal (management) and the external (public) ownership gave pressure to the company to disclose its CSR.

description: Other papers on today's program have established the fact that land values in the U.S. have been rising rapidly. The trend has been going on for 40 years but the rate of increase has accelerated sharply since 1972 when farm incomes rose to new levels. I need not spend time on describing the trends as it is done elsewhere in this symposium. My interest is in how rising land values affect concentration of land ownership and control.
