title: Über die Entspannung der chilenisch-bolivianischen Beziehungen und das Streben Boliviens nach dem Meer

Creators: name: Winter, Johannes

description: Es gibt wieder Annäherung in den politischen Beziehungen zwischen Chile und Bolivien. Das ist die positive Erkenntnis, die sich aus den vergangenen Treffen zwischen Chiles Präsidentin Michelle Bachelet und ihrem bolivianischen Amtskollegen Evo Morales ableiten lässt. Dies ist bemerkenswert, da beide Staaten seit Ende der 1970er Jahre keine diplomatischen Beziehungen mehr zueinander unterhalten. Grund dafür ist der jahrzehntelange Streit um die Modalitäten eines Meereszugangs für Bolivien, das seit dem verlorenen Pazifikkrieg ein Binnenstaat ist. Während Bolivien einen souveränen Pazifikhafen auf chilenischem Territorium fordert, bietet Chile lediglich einen zollfreien Zugang zum Meer. Obwohl eine Neuverhandlung der territorialen Hoheitsrechte als unwahrscheinlich gilt, bemüht sich Bolivien unaufhörlich um die Rückkehr zum Pazifik. Um diese strikte Haltung verstehen zu können, bedarf es, so die These dieses Beitrags, der Berücksichtigung vielfältiger rationaler wie auch irrationaler Motive, die als Triebkräfte für die politischen Forderungen gegenüber Chile wirken. Nur auf Grundlage des Verstehens dieser Zusammenhänge können realistische Wege der Verständigung zwischen den beiden Nachbarstaaten ausgelotet werden.

description: We directly visualize single polymers with persistence lengths ranging from $\ell_p=0.05$ to 16 $μ$m, dissolved in the nematic phase of rod-like {\it fd} virus. Polymers with sufficiently large persistence length undergo a coil-rod transition at the isotropic-nematic transition of the background solvent. We quantitatively analyze the transverse fluctuations of semi-flexible polymers and show that at long wavelengths they are driven by the fluctuating nematic background. We extract both the Odijk deflection length and the elastic constant of the background nematic phase from the data.

description: The relationship between microscopic observations and macroscopic behavior is a fundamental open question in biophysical systems. Here, we develop a unified approach that---in contrast with existing methods---predicts cell type from macromolecular data even when accounting for the scale of human tissue diversity and limitations in the available data. We achieve these benefits by applying a k-nearest-neighbors algorithm after projecting our data onto the eigenvectors of the correlation matrix inferred from many observations of gene expression or chromatin conformation. Our approach identifies variations in epigenotype that impact cell type, thereby supporting the cell type attractor hypothesis and representing the first step toward model-independent control strategies in biological systems.

description: Groundwater is Eyre Peninsula's most precious resource and has become the sole source of reticulated water to meet potable and industrial demand. Water resources on Eyre Peninsula are scarce and fragile, particularly in the low rainfall regions, with few reliable freshwater streams and the groundwater availability is highly variable. The groundwater recharge and hence the security of the resource, is highly dependent upon local rainfall, landcover and landuse. Surface water is scarce and unreliable, and reticulated water is limited. Difficulty in accessing water resources has placed both a social and economic burden on the rural community throughout the region. The information contained on the CD will provide a vital framework for the future management planning of the available resources in the region.

description: This study investigates the Indonesian cocoa production to reveal the possibilities for poverty alleviation while considering the threats to environmental sustainability. We estimate, based on a large household panel data set and stochastic frontier analysis, the technical efficiency of cocoa production and decompose productivity growth. According to our results, the productivity of Indonesian cocoa farming increased by 75 percent between 2001 and 2013. Technical efficiency growth and the increased chemicals use supported by government subsidies were responsible for the majority of this gain. Furthermore, we find large distortions in the input allocations. Hence, policies that encourage the adjustment of the cocoa farms’ input use would be highly beneficial. Moreover, because of the weather-induced volatility in cocoa production, policy makers should also promote investment in agricultural research and transfer of drought-resistant cocoa varieties to farmers. Additionally, the average efficiency of cocoa farmers is estimated to be around 50 percent. We find that farmers’ educational attainment and their experience in cocoa farming are significant factors that can increase the efficiency levels.
title: PSF Characterisation and Optimisation of a CCD for the ESA Euclid Mission
Creators: name: Allanwood, Edgar
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2018

description: As part of qualifying the Teledyne-e2v CCD273 for the visible imager (VIS) on the ESA Euclid mision, a front-illuminated CCD273 is tested in order to observe the Point Spread Function (PSF) response with respect to signal and voltage parameters. In order to achieve this an optical characterisation system with the ability to project flat-fields and precisely positioned and focused spot images is constructed and characterised. The Single-Pixel Photon Transfer Curve (SP-PTC) is devised in order to provide an analytical method for characterising the system PSF and the Brigher-Fatter Effect (BFE), a systematic spot-widening with signal, is observed. A technique for confirming the mechanism of the BFE via use of separate spot and flat-field illuminations in a single frame is devised in addition to parallel image clock electrode parametrisation. Device-specific optimisations are also presented regarding bright spot response and elimination of persistence following bright illuminations or charge occupation of the dielectric interface surface states.

description: This study reviews the evidence regarding the recent wave of smart input subsidy programs in Africa and identifies components of a holistic and sustainable agricultural productivity growth strategy that could improve the contribution of input subsidy programs to African governments’ national development objectives. African governments’ commitment after the Abuja African Fertilizer Summit (2006) to increase fertilizer use from 8 to 50 kg of nutrients per hectare by 2015 reinforces the importance of inorganic fertilizer for increasing crop productivity and attaining food security in Africa. The impacts of achieving this target, however, will depend greatly on the agronomic efficiency of applied fertilizer. Many African governments’ efforts to raise agricultural productivity have focused on programs to increase fertilizer use. Relatively little effort has been made in recent decades to help African farmers raise the efficiency with which they use fertilizer.

description: In 1957, Hans Lewy constructed a counterexample showing that very simple and natural differential equations can fail to have local solutions. A geometric interpretation and a generalization of this counterexample were given in 1960 by L.Hörmander. In the early seventies, L.Nirenberg and F.Treves proposed a geometric condition on the principal symbol, the so-called condition $(ψ)$, and provided strong arguments suggesting that it should be equivalent to local solvability. The necessity of condition $(ψ)$ for solvability of pseudo-differential equations was proved by L.Hörmander in 1981. In 1994, it was proved by N.L. that condition $(ψ)$ does not imply solvability with loss of one derivative for pseudo-differential equations, contradicting repeated claims by several authors. However in 1996, N.Dencker proved that these counterexamples were indeed solvable, but with a loss of two derivatives. We shall explore the structure of this phenomenon from both sides: on the one hand, there are first-order pseudo-differential equations satisfying condition $(ψ)$ such that no $L^2_{\text{loc}}$ solution can be found with some source in $L^2_{\text{loc}}$. On the other hand, we shall see that, for these examples, there exists a solution in the Sobolev space $H^{-1}_{\text{loc}}$.

description: As populations continue to rise and land becomes scarcer in Africa’s rural areas, there is increasing urgency for farmers to adopt land management practices that sustainably raise land and labor productivity. Considerable effort has focused on promoting inorganic fertilizers, but it is increasingly recognized that smallholder farmers’ demand for fertilizer can be depressed by soil conditions that reduce crop response to and the profitability of fertilizer use. This article quantifies the impacts of soil characteristics on maize response to fertilizer in Zambia using a nationally representative sample of 1,453 fields. In addition to economic and farm management surveys, composite soil samples were collected and analyzed for several characteristics at the Zambia Agricultural Research Institute. Soil’s role in agricultural production and fertilizer efficiency is more nuanced than most economic literature has acknowledged. We believe ours is the first model in economic literature that simultaneously allows for the effects of multiple soil characteristics. We estimate critical threshold effects on yield response to fertilizer to be between pH levels of 5.4 and 5.6, soil organic matter levels of 1.2-1.4%, and find significant soil texture―and cation exchange―related thresholds. Depending on these soil characteristics, average maize yield response estimates range from insignificant (0) to 5.7 maize kg per fertilizer kg. We estimate fertilizer use on maize is not profitable at commercial prices for the majority of Zambian farmers (under current practices). Even ignoring transfer costs, about 80% of fertilized maize fields still have an estimated average value-cost-ratio for fertilizer less than one at commercial prices. To the best of our knowledge, the flexibility of our model and data with this scope of geography and content are novel contributions to the literature.

A correspondence is established between rigid flow trees in $M$ determined by $L$ and boundary punctured rigid pseudo-holomorphic disks in $T^\ast M$, with boundary on the projection of $L$ and asymptotic to the double points of this projection at punctures, provided $n\le 2$, or provided $n>2$ and the front of $L$ has only cusp edge singularities. This result, in particular, shows how to compute the Legendrian contact homology of $L$ in terms of Morse theory.

description: The South Australian Government, through the Department of Water, Land and Biodiversity Conservation (DWLCB) is responsible for the management of the State's groundwater resources. As a part of its role, the DWLCB monitors and maintains an extensive statewide groundwater monitoring network. Ground water monitoring has been undertaken in parts of the South East of South Australia for more than 30 years. The two main parameters used to measure the condition of the groundwater resources are water levels and salinity. Over time, a history of the condition of the aquifers has been established from this baseline information, enabling longer term and short-term changes to be identified and correlated with either natural (e.g. climatic) or man-induced changes (e.g. irrigation, development). This report is compiled for the South East Catchment Water Management Board (SECWMB) and displays a snapshot of data collected for the South East region up until June 2002.

description: Many plants biosynthesize biochemical compounds with antibacterial properties that can be used in industrial or food technology. They have effect on growth of bacteria thus, natural constituents in the plant extracts open new trends to control microbial infections. Cyclamen is a wild plant that can be used as a drug. Aim of this work is to reveal antibacterial activity of the cyclamen tuber extracts and to determine its effective concentration against five different bacteria. Crude and hydrolyzed extracts of Cyclamen coum tuber were prepared by soxhlet and the extracts were separated to more polar and less polar phases via fractional solvents. After that, antibacterial impact of the extracts was investigated using disk diffusion method and it was determined the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). The results showed that the extracts of Cyclamen coum were relatively rich in saponin but poor in phenolic compounds. The most antibacterial effect of n-butanolic saponin extracts were assayed against E. faecalis (PTCC 1393), which contained 0.87 μg saponin and resulted 16.6 mm diameter of inhibition zone. Furthermore, aqueous part of the aglycone extract with 0.08 μg total saponin revealed higher activity on P. aeruginosa (ATCC 1430) with 14 mm inhibition zone. Ethyl acetate phase of the aglycone extract with 0.2 μg of total saponin, showed 9.3 and 13.6 mm diameter of inhibition zone only against P. aeruginosa and S. aureus (ATCC1431), respectively. Other extracts showed 7–13 mm inhibition zone, which was less effective. In addition, MIC n-butanolic extract was 0.4- 0.86 mg total saponin/mL whereas MIC of aqueous glycoside was 0.05- 0.86 mg saponin/mL. However, the later extract had no any bactericidal and bacteriostatic effect against S. aureus and E. faecalis. MIC and MBC of the ethyl acetate extract were 0.05 mg saponin/mL against
clinical S. typhi whereas its MIC and MBC on P. aeruginosa and E. faecalis were 0.2 mg saponin/mL. Maximum MIC and MBC of the aqueous aglycone extract was assayed with 0.007 mg saponin/mL on clinical S. typhi, and MIC of 0.01 mg saponin/mL was estimated on S. aureus. Consequently, saponin tuber extracts of Cyclamen coum could be used as moderate to strong antimicrobial substance against
gram-negative bacteria.

Special attention is paid to differences between a homogenous and inhomogeneous description of the matter distribution. For that purpose self-consistent Hartree Fock calculations are performed in a spherical Wigner-Seitz cell. The results are compared to predictions of corresponding Thomas Fermi calculations. The influence of the shell structure on the formation of pairing correlations in inhomogeneous matter are discussed.

description: Using nationally representative, multi-year survey data for nine African countries, this study documents trends in the sectoral composition of Africa’s work force. The study highlights differences in sectoral employment trends by age category, gender, and rural vs. urban areas. By analyzing sectoral employment shifts over the past decade, we can gain insights about the strength and robustness of economic transformation processes in much of Sub-Saharan Africa. While substantial differences across countries warrant caution against overgeneralization, the last decade has witnessed a sharp increase in the rate at which Africans are exiting farming in favor of off-farm activities. Today, farming accounts for 50 to 70% of the total number of jobs recorded among Africa’s working-age population, down from 70 to 80% just 10 years ago. These employment shifts signify that economic transformation is clearly underway in much of the region. In some countries, however, the labor force is moving out of farming very slowly. Countries experiencing the most rapid labor force exit out of farming over the past decade tend to have achieved relatively strong agricultural productivity growth since 2000.

description: One of the defining representations of women from medieval times is in the role of peace-weaver, that is, a woman was expected to 'weave' peace between warring men. The underlying assumption in scholarship on this topic is that female mediation lessens male violence. This stance can however be questioned since it may be the result of gender-based peace and diplomacy models that relegate women's roles to that of conduits between men. By analyzing the concept of communicability and relevance of certain nodes in complex networks we show how our sources afford women more complex and nuanced social roles. As a case study we consider a historical narrative, namely Bede's "Ecclesiastical History of the English People", which is a history of Britain from the first to eighth centuries AD and was immensely popular all over Europe in the Middle Ages.

description: Hauptzentren der Vereisung waren neben dem Belchen-Heidstein der Kohlgarten im SW und Breitnauer Kopf im NW. Im Würmmaximum vereinigten sich die Eismassen im E mit dem Wiesetalgletscher. Im W waren die Gletscherzungen infolge der starken Reliefenergie (26—36%) nur kurz; außerdem sind die Dokumente spärlich. Das best erhaltene Kar ist der Nonnenmattweiher; weitere 5 Kare sind bekannt. Meist aber sind es mehr Kartrichter, die in dem stark reliefierten Gebiet entstanden sind. Von den Rückzugsständen ist der Titiseestand sehr schlecht durch Moränen dokumentiert. Er kann aber, wie die anderen Rückzugsstände auch, durch die Berechnung der Schneegrenze festgestellt werden. Der Falkau-Zipfelhof-Stand hat an mehreren Stellen deutlichere Moränen hinterlassen; der Waldhofstand ist am besten im Ort Multen belegt. Zur Zeit des Feldsee-Standes war nur noch der Gipfel des Belchen mit Eis bedeckt, und im Nonnenmattweiher hielt sich ein letzter Eisrest. An glazigenen Formen sind weiterhin viele Rundhöcker, Trogtäler und breite Talmulden vorhanden. Die Krinne N des Belchen ist eine durch Transfluenz vergrößerte und vertiefte Verwerfung. Insgesamt zeigt sich ein Bild einer selbständigen Vergletscherung des Belchengebietes mit einer sehr geringen oder kaum vorhandenen Verbindung zum Schauinsland-Feldberg-Massiv.

Geologische, geomorphologische und pollenanalytische Untersuchungen zum Toteisproblem am Südende des Starnberger Sees

Year: 1994

description: Die glazialen und glazifluviatilen Ablagerungen im Bereich der Osterseen südlich des Starnberger Sees belegen eine großflächige Verbreitung von Toteis am Ende der letzten Eiszeit. Der Rückzug des Gletschers erfolgte durch sukzessiven Zerfall der Gletscherzunge an subglazialen Hochgebieten. Durch die palynologische Auswertung zweier Bohrprofile kann der Gletscherzerfall datiert werden. In beiden Profilen wurden das ausgehende Hochglazial sowie das gesamte Spät- und Postglazial angetroffen. In den hochglazialen Sedimenten finden sich thermophile Elemente in guter Erhaltung, deren Einlagerung durch Ferntransport diskutiert wird. Das Spätglazial beginnt mit der bekannten Florenassoziation und enthalt zu dem umgelagerte Thermophile. Diese können frühestens in das Sediment gelangt sein, als der Gletscher den Alpennordrand erreicht hatte. Damit sind die Gletscherstände außerhalb des Gebirges vermutlich ins Hochglazial zu datieren, während das glazialgeologische Bühl-Stadium mit der palynologischen Hoch-/Spätglazialgrenze zusammenfallen dürfte. Letzte Toteisreste können sich möglicherweise bis ins Bölling/Alleröd erhalten haben.

description: Ricci-like solitons on Sasaki-like almost contact B-metric manifolds are the object of study. Cases, where the potential of the Ricci-like soliton is the Reeb vector field or pointwise collinear to it, are considered. In the former case, the properties for a parallel or recurrent Ricci-tensor are studied. In the latter case, it is shown that the potential of the considered Ricci-like soliton has a constant length and the manifold is $η$-Einstein. Other curvature conditions are also found, which imply that the main metric is Einstein. After that, some results are obtained for a parallel symmetric second-order covariant tensor on the manifolds under study. Finally, an explicit example of dimension 5 is given and some of the results are illustrated.

description: This paper analyzes the influence of political systems and rights in patterns of agricultural protection across commodities, countries and over time. Four political systems (dictatorship, one-party, dominant party, democracy) and an index of political rights account for differences in political institutions. The analysis also incorporates the effects of development, of constraints on tax collection feasibility, and of comparative advantages and terms of trade. Pluralistic systems are associated with higher agricultural protection levels, although in a nonlinear fashion. Access to pluralism appears to be important, although further democratization {from dominant party system to democracy) does not induce more distortions.

description: Automatic metrics are used as proxies to evaluate abstractive summarization systems when human annotations are too expensive. To be useful, these metrics should be fine-grained, show a high correlation with human annotations, and ideally be independent of reference quality; however, most standard evaluation metrics for summarization are reference-based, and existing reference-free metrics correlate poorly with relevance, especially on summaries of longer documents. In this paper, we introduce a reference-free metric that correlates well with human evaluated relevance, while being very cheap to compute. We show that this metric can also be used alongside reference-based metrics to improve their robustness in low quality reference settings.

description: I give a very short introduction to Chiral Perturbation Theory and an overview of the next-to-next-to-leading order three-flavour calculations done. I discuss those relevant for an improvement in the accuracy of the measurement of $V_{us}$ in more detail. One major conclusion is that all needed $p^6$ low energy constants can be obtained from experiment via the scalar form-factor in $K_{\ell3}$ decays.

description: This paper provides an empirical investigation of the international trade and domestic market efficiency effects of physical domestic content requirement in the Australian tobacco leaf growing and cigarette manufacturing industries. Our empirical evidence suggests. that the content requirement has distorted trade by restricting leaf imports. Nevertheless, the data are also consistent with the efficient contract hypothesis. The mix of domestic to imported leaf used in cigarette manufacturing depends on domestic leaf production costs and on world leaf prices but not on the negotiated domestic leaf price.

description: We employ gauge-gravity duality to study the backreaction effect of 4-dimensional large-$N$ quantum field theories on constant-curvature backgrounds, and in particular de Sitter space-time. The field theories considered are holographic QFTs, dual to RG flows between UV and IR CFTs. We compute the holographic QFT contribution to the gravitational effective action for 4d Einstein manifold backgrounds. We find that for a given value of the cosmological constant $λ$, there generically exist two backreacted constant-curvature solutions, as long as $λ< λ_{\textrm{max}} \sim M_p^2 / N^2$, otherwise no such solutions exist. Moreover, the backreaction effect interpolates between that of the UV and IR CFTs. We also find that, at finite cutoff, a holographic theory always reduces the bare cosmological constant, and this is the consequence of thermodynamic properties of the partition function of holographic QFTs on de Sitter.

description: The rapid senescence is the main limiting factors of
postharvest life in broccoli florets. In this study, effect of different
concentration of ascorbic acid (0, 0.5, 1.5 and 2 %) on increasing
postharvest life of broccoli florets was investigated. The treated florets was
placed in polyethylene bag and transferred to storage with 0°C and 20°C.
The characteristics such as total chlorophyll, antioxidant capacity, total
phenol and lipid peroxidation was determined during storage. The results
showed that during low and high temperature storage, the total chlorophyll
and antioxidant capacity content declined and lipid peroxidation increased.
The greatest delay in chlorophyll degradation and florets senescence in
broccoli during 0°C was found with 1.5 % ascorbic acid treatments that was
followed the lowest lipid peroxidation and the highest antioxidant capacity.
But broccoli florets treated with 0.5 % ascorbic acid was more efficacious
than other concentration at 20°. Overall, ascorbic acid with retarding
chlorophyll degradation delayed florets senescence.

description: With the concept generally known as Wider Europe, the European Union has mapped out an ambitious vision of regional Neighbourhood that goes beyond cooperation to involve a significant measure of integration. Furthermore, the EU sees this new quality of regional interaction and partnership as bringing enormous gains to all involved in terms of increased stability, security and well being. The EUDIMENSIONS (Local Dimensions of a Wider European Neighbourhood: Developing Political Community through Practices and Discourses of Cross-Border Co-operation) research project, financed under the European Union 6th Framework Programme, priority 7, chapter 4.2.1 (New Borders, New Visions of Neighbourhood), has sought to map and analyse crossborder cooperation and political contact-building between the European Union and neighbouring states, with a special emphasis on the development of civil society, economic interaction and the specific issue of gender in the crossborder relationship network. Crossborder cooperation in this respect has been understood as subject to changing political constellation and rhetoric, involving considerable tension between inclusion, or Neighbourhood (the European Union's efforts to integrate its wider neighbourhood in various forms of political and economic partnership) and exclusion, or Fortress Europe (the increasing securitisation of Europe's external borders in order to protect the community from unregulated flows of goods and people) ...

description: In Regelschulen werden immer mehr Kinder mit Autismus-Spektrum-Störungen integriert. Damit dies gelingt, müssen die Mitschülerinnen und Mitschüler Verständnis für die speziellen Verhaltensweisen von autistischen Kindern entwickeln. Bilderbücher zum Thema Autismus bieten die Chance, mit den Kindern über Autismus ins Gespräch zu kommen. Bei der Auswahl stellt sich die Frage, durch welche Kriterien sich geeignete Bücher auszeichnen: Wie soll über Autismus informiert werden? Welche Werte und Haltungen sollen vermittelt werden? Welche Gestaltungselemente tragen dazu bei, dass die Bücher Kinder ansprechen? Kernpunkt dieser Arbeit ist es, mittels Inhaltsanalyse ein Beurteilungsraster zu entwickeln, das auf die oben gestellten Fragen Bezug nimmt. Das Raster wird anschliessend auf aktuelle Bilderbücher angewendet. Daraus entsteht eine Liste mit Empfehlungen für den Einsatz in der Primarschule.
Sums of powers of integers and hyperharmonic numbers

description: In this paper, we derive a formula for the sums of powers of the first $n$ positive integers, $S_k(n)$, that involves the hyperharmonic numbers and the Stirling numbers of the second kind. Then, using an explicit representation for the hyperharmonic numbers, we generalize this formula to the sums of powers of an arbitrary arithmetic progression. Moreover, we express the Bernoulli polynomials in terms of hyperharmonic polynomials and Stirling numbers of the second kind. Finally, we extend the obtained formula for $S_k(n)$ to negative values of $n$.

description: Aus dem nördlichen Galizien (NW-Spanien) werden von zwei Lokalitäten (Playa de Barañán, westl. La Coruña, und Cangas de Foz, westl. Ribadeo) jungpleistozäne Sediment-Boden-Folgen beschrieben, die auf einem 3—5 m ü. M. gelegenen Felssockel bzw. auf einer ca. 25 m ü. M. gelegenen Küstenterrasse auflagern. Mehrere 14C-Daten sowie Vergleiche mit früher aufgenommenen Sediment-Boden-Folgen in der näheren und weiteren Umgebung lassen den Schluß zu, daß in beiden Fällen eine nahezu vollständige würmzeitliche Schichtenfolge entwickelt ist, die von fossilen Braunerden bzw. kräftigen fossilen Ah-Horizonten gegliedert ist. Zwischen die fossilen Böden bzw. Bodensedimente sind möglicherweise äolisch entstandene Schlurfe bzw. Sande und Solifluktionsschuttdecken eingeschaltet. Die wahrscheinlich altwürmzeitlichen Profilteile zeichnen sich durch viel Holzkohle aus und weisen auf eine holzreiche Vegetation hin.

description: In this paper we study fertilizer subsidy schemes in Tanzania from 2003/04 through 2015/16 to better understand the key factors that led to the design and reform of various fertilizer subsidy programs in Tanzania over time and to serve as a case study to test the hypotheses from the Kaleidoscope Model of the key drivers of agricultural policy change. The analysis is based on a combination of key informant interviews and secondary literature. Focusing events played a key role in getting fertilizer subsidies on the policy agenda in Tanzania: a drought in 2002/03 was a key factor in the return of fertilizer subsidies to Tanzania in 2003/04, while the international food price crisis of 2007/08 was a key factor in Tanzania scaling up an existing pilot fertilizer voucher scheme into the large-scale National Agricultural Input Voucher Scheme (NAIVS) in 2008/09. A second key factor that put a large-scale subsidy approach on the agenda (NAIVS) was the support of powerful advocates including the President.
title: Bernard Suits' Utopia of Gameplay: A Critical Analysis
Creators: name: Yorke, Christopher C.
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2019

description: In this dissertation, I integrate the published and newly available unpublished works of Bernard Suits to arrive at an original, holistic interpretation of his corpus. I identify, analyze, and resolve inconsistencies in his position which have not been previously critiqued in depth. Centrally, I provide a critical analysis of Suits’ relatively obscure utopian thesis: his argument that the ‘ideal of existence’ for humankind is a utopia of gameplay. More specifically, I demonstrate that Suits’ utopian thesis fails on its own grounds because his utopian vision—the thought experiment upon which his utopian thesis rests for its plausibility—requires that humanity enter a post-instrumental phase of culture unimaginable from our current species-perspective. The nature of utopian gameplay is obscured behind this cultural gap, and thus we pre-utopians have no rational reason to accept Suits’ assertion that it instantiates the ideal of existence. Finally, I sympathetically rehabilitate Suits’ utopian thesis along perfectionist lines as the utopian game design thesis, and show that its main value lies in its role as a regulative ideal, offering a unique set of normative recommendations for our current gaming practices.
