description: This publication reports on the experience of CIMMYT promoting hermetically sealed metal silos to minimize losses in stored maize and other grains under smallholder farming conditions in Mexico. The metal silo was developed through the "Postcosecha" project first implemented in the 1980s in Central America and introduced in Mexico in the 1990s. The hermetic metal silo promoted in Mexico has evolved into a more advanced version with a conical upper shape and the use of bronze or aluminum plugs to increase airtightness and eliminate the need to use poisonous aluminum phosphide tablets. Through CIMMYT and Mexican partnerships, the manufacturing process for the silos has been established in a Mexican Norm to standardize the dimensions. CIMMYT and its network of collaborators have been promoting the hermetic metal silo through the hub model. Farmers typically store maize grain in woven polypropylene bags with or without chemical insecticides; grain damage can reach 32%, in tropical conditions after three months of storage. In side-by-side comparisons of the hermetic metal silo and farmers' practices, the hermetic metal silo kept losses to less than 3%. Local artisans were trained in manufacturing the silos and to facilitate access of smallholder farmers to the technology, but the lack of awareness, business models, and credits have hindered the widespread adoption of hermetic metal silos. Promotion of the hermetic metal silo, including stakeholder collaboration leading to institutional anchoring, should continue, to reduce storage losses and to safeguard farm households' food security, health, and profits.

description: Market participants are generally in agreement that the coronavirus pandemic will have a severe impact on the European economy, but it is difficult to predict the length and extent of the pandemic’s effects. However, using the yield curves of corporate bonds, we can reach some preliminary conclusions about the impact of the pandemic. The expectations of financial market participants are revealed in the yield curves of corporate bonds, as yields reflect risk expectations over various maturities. To analyze these expectations, we first estimated the yield curves of corporate bonds in Germany, France, Italy, and Spain and put them into context with the progression of the pandemic. This shows that the bond yields with long maturities are also increasing; therefore, financial market participants are expecting negative effects to last for at least five years. Using an event study, the effects of the European fiscal and monetary policy measures are analyzed as well. The results suggest that measures are successful when they are wide ranging and coordinated Europe-wide. Moreover, the results show that financial and monetary policies must also be coordinated to fight the economic impact of the pandemic effectively.

Exploring organisational culture and power in private-run Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) institutions in China
Creators: name: Zhang, Yi
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In the last two decades, increasing numbers of private ECEC institutions have been established in China. However, the quality of these institutions have been criticised. To address this problem and to find out how organisational cultures were constructed in ECEC settings in China, I carried out research in two private ECEC schools which shared the same cultural framework. Three dimensions for deciphering organisational cultures were used as the conceptual framework of this study: three levels of culture as a structural view, along with the notion of power and the notion of small culture as two non-structural views. This conceptual framework offers a new critical approach, to fill the gap between structural and interpretive views for deciphering organisational cultures. Furthermore, it offers the flexibility for exploring the relationship between power, agency and structure, and the role of personal trajectories in constructing small cultures, especially when related to broader contexts. The findings from the study suggest four types of cultural devices were used to create a formal organisational cultural framework: organisational physical structures and decorations, rules, traditions and cultural activities. Additionally, the roles of the main stakeholders including senior management teams and teachers were identified, as the final decision-makers at school, department and classroom level. The multiple roles of parents were discovered, to be customers, allies of schools, as well as practitioners alongside teachers in the classroom. The three external factors that influenced the main stakeholders in constructing organisational cultures were: national curriculum reform, policy change from one-child to two-child, and Confucianism and Collectivism ideologies. The findings of this study provide insights for policy makers of and in ECECs as well as the practitioners in educational settings in terms of how cultures are constructed in ECECs and how these affect the ways in which ECECs work.
Spectral fluctuation and $\frac{1}{f^α}$ noise in the energy level statistics of interacting trapped bosons

description: It has been recently shown numerically that the transition from integrability to chaos in quantum systems and the corresponding spectral fluctuations are characterized by $\frac{1}{f^α}$ noise with $1\leqα\leq 2$. The system of interacting trapped bosons is inhomogeneous and a complex system. The presence of external harmonic trap makes it more interesting as in the atomic trap the bosons occupy partly degenerate single-particle states. Earlier theoretical and experimental results show that at zero temperature the low-lying levels are of collective nature and high-lying excitations are of single particle nature. We observe that for few bosons, $P(s)$ distribution shows the Shnirelman peak which exhibits a large number of quasi-degenerate states. For large number of bosons the low-lying levels are strongly affected by the interatomic interaction and the corresponding level fluctuation shows a transition to Wigner with increase in particle number. It does not follow GOE (Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble) Random Matrix predictions. For high-lying levels we observe the uncorrelated Poisson distribution. Thus it may be a very realistic system to prove that $\frac{1}{f^α}$ noise is ubiquitous in nature.

The Dark Triad and interpersonal assessment of vulnerability : cues used and accuracy
Creators: name: Black, Pamela Jean
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Observer assessments of the character and emotional features of targets occur subconsciously and inform the nature of interpersonal interactions. Despite the frequency with which people engage in interpersonal perceptions, little is known about how observers come to their conclusions about the characteristics of others and whether these assessments are valid. This thesis examined the role of individual differences in interpersonal perception; specifically, I was interested in whether individuals with “dark” personalities (psychopathy, Machiavellianism, narcissism) who frequently victimize others may be more adept at assessing the traits of others to facilitate the ease of picking vulnerable targets. The purpose of the current thesis was twofold; first to generate a data-driven model of the manner in which individuals, particularly those possessing Dark Triad traits, assess others, including the cues that they use to inform their decisions. Secondly, I examined the accuracy of observers varying in Dark Triad traits in their ability to assess the personality and emotional traits characteristic of vulnerability in others. The results of the first part of the study revealed that high Dark Triad scoring individuals reliably use specific cues to derive their interpersonal assessments, and that there are a number of biases that Dark Triad individuals hold that may hinder their ability to accurately assess others. Specifically, those scoring high on the Dark Triad perceive others as less agreeable, having low self-esteem, and highly neurotic, anxious, and depressed. The results of the second part of the study reveal that indeed these negative perceptions of others hinder the ability of Dark Triad individuals to accurately assess others. There were few significant findings for accuracy, and the relationships that were significant revealed that Dark Triad individuals were worse at assessing others. When broken down by presentation modality, there were no significant Dark Triad by modality interactions, though there were a number of significant main effects of modality type. Specifically, participants were best able to assess target’s traits using the video only modality and were significantly worse at assessing target’s traits when using the transcript modality. The implications of these findings and future directions for research are discussed.

description: The number of employed persons in Germany has grown by over five million since 2000, in part due to an increase in immigration. This development is reflected in private household income, which has increased by 12 percent over the same period. Since 2013, all income groups have been benefiting from this increase and in 2015, the lowest income decile began benefiting as well. Disposable income inequality and the low-income rate are stagnating, but the trends differ depending on migration background. In the native population, the low-income rate has not changed since 2008 and for some age groups, it has even declined. Over the course of the most recent wave of immigration, the rate increased significantly to around 30 percent for persons with a direct migration background, although the first effects of refugees’ integration into the labor market are just now being seen. Therefore, immigrants still require support integrating into the labor market.

description: Because the induction of strong host antitumor responses plays a very important role in antitumor therapy, identifying effective approaches to elicit immunogenic cell death could have important implications. RIP3-dependent necroptotic cancer cells have been reported to release damage-associated molecular patterns and enhance antitumor immunity. In this study, hyaluronic acid-conjugated cationic liposomes (DOTAP/DOPE/PEG-DSPE/CHOL) (HA-P-LP) were prepared as a vector for mRIP3-pDNA overexpression in tumours. Compared with standard cationic liposomes, this vector markedly increased cellular gene internalisation in vitro, enhanced the tumour-targeting effect in vivo and exhibited a significant antitumor effect in combination with adjuvant chloroquine. Considering the dramatic increase in RIP3 under the pathological condition of pancreatitis and the correlation between pancreatitis and necroptosis, non-HA-conjugated liposomes with the same formulation loaded with shRNA mRIP3-pDNA effectively controlled the disease by decreasing the serum amylase concentration and inflammatory cell infiltration. The versatile cationic liposomes loaded with plasmids with opposing functions in this study provide a new concept and method for both tumour therapy and pancreatitis therapy.

ABSTRACT:
Freedom of religion, freedom of expression and the United Nations: recognizing values and rights in the “defamation of religions” discourse (Lecturer in Law and Religion, University of Perugia)
The article focuses on the issue of religious freedom and freedom of expression from the point of view of the United Nations. In particular, it examines the so called Defamation of religions, which has been the topic of a series of Resolutions voted by the Human Rights Commission, the Human Rights Council and the Assembly General, from 1999 to 2010. In the Defamation of religions debate, the UN institutions appear to tend to highlight the conflict between rights rather than the positive interrelation between them. Nonetheless, it has been repeatedly argued that it should be possible for political institutions and religious majorities to use anti-defamatory legislation in order to stem the activities of religious minorities. Applying penal anti-defamation laws might not be the best way to deal with the potential conflict between two fundamental rights. The more recent trends show a shift toward what seems to be a more suitable accommodation of the interests at stake. In this regard, the article will consider the Human Rights Council’s Resolution about discrimination on religious grounds (2011), the Ad Hoc Committee on Complementary Standards to the ICERD and the new General Comment on article 19 of the ICCPR.

description: We use dimensional regularization to compute the one loop quantum gravitational contribution to the vacuum polarization on flat space background. Adding the appropriate BPHZ counterterm gives a fully renormalized result which we employ to quantum correct Maxwell's equations. These equations are solved to show that dynamical photons are unchanged, provided the free state wave functional is appropriately corrected. The response to the instantaneous appearance of a point dipole reveals a perturbative version of the long-conjectured, "smearing of the light-cone". There is no change in the far radiation field produced by an alternating dipole. However, the correction to the static electric field of a point charge shows strengthening at short distances, in contrast to expectations based on the renormalization group. We check for gauge dependence by working out the vacuum polarization in a general 3-parameter family of covariant gauges.

Underpricing and performance of Australian IPOs: the impact of founder effects

description: Since 2010, on average over 70 initial public offerings (IPOs) are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange each year. These IPO firms have a wide range of performance in the short term and long term. The impact of founders on a firm's performance is a much debated topic and extant studies provide mixed evidence. Findings from other markets may not apply in Australian markets as different institutional and market settings may moderate and enhance the founder effect. This study assessed the effects of founders on IPO firms' performance in the short term and long term in Australia. By examining three founder variables of founder ownership, founder CEO and founder experience, we are able to identify founder effects on firm performance. With a dataset of 253 IPO firms from 2003 to 2013, we analysed the mean differences in IPO firms' performance among groups with different founder features. Our results indicate there are significant mean differences in underpricing between different levels of founder ownership. We conducted regression analysis for our whole sample and subsamples. Our results suggest a hump-shape curvilinear relationship between founder ownership and IPO underpricing in the short term. our findings show that IPO firms led by founder CEOs have poor performance in the long term. The analysis shows founder CEO firms are younger, smaller and have higher retained founder ownership compared to professional CEO firms.

description: The European sovereign debt crisis illustrated how the stability of the entire financial system suffers when banks and sovereigns become too intertwined. However, there has been seemingly little success in reducing the bank-sovereign nexus in the decade since the crisis. As this Weekly Report shows, home bias remains strong and many European banks are still primarily purchasing domestic government bonds. One possible method of counteracting home bias would be to introduce a requirement for banks to back sovereign bonds on their balance sheets with their equity. So far, this has not been a requirement for banks, as government securities, which are inherently not free from risk, are considered risk-free from a regulatory perspective. However, as calculations in this report show, such a reform would entail a significant need for additional capital for many banks and could destabilize the euro area, especially as the home bias problem would become even more acute. Therefore, a future mandatory capital requirement for government bonds must be accompanied by additional measures, such as the introduction of a new, diversified type of government bond

description: By the end of 2020, the European Central Bank (ECB) will present the results of its monetary policy strategy review. What changes are to be expected and what changes are needed? This report covers two areas of the strategy review. First, alternatives to the current definition of price stability are discussed. Current studies and the practices of other central banks indicate that supplementing the inflation target with a tolerance interval may be useful to enhance central bank credibility. Second, it is discussed to what extent climate risks play a role in the ECB’s economic analyses and monetary policy measures. Empirical evidence shows that weather events such as extreme droughts or floods can influence business cycles in the euro area. Overall, climate risks should be assessed both as part of the ECB’s macroeconomic and monetary analyses and as part of its portfolio and risk management.

Rheology and processing of biodegradable poly(epsilon -caprolactone) polyesters and their blends with polylactides
Creators: name: Noroozi, Nazbanoo
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The solution rheological properties and melt viscoelastic behaviour of a number of commercial and newly synthesized PCLs with different molecular characteristics was investigated using both rotational and extensional rheometry. The variation of zero-shear viscosity and relaxation spectrum with molecular weight were found to be in agreement with theories for linear polymers. The classic Wagner model was found to represent the rheology of all PCL polymers quite well. In addition, the PCL processing instabilities were studied by capillary extrusion. Sharkskin and gross melt fracture was observed for the high molecular weight PCL at different shear rates. The onset of melt fracture occurred at 0.2 MPa at temperatures higher than 115°C. Moreover, addition of 0.5 wt% of a polylactide (PLA) into the PCL eliminated or delayed the onset of melt fracture to higher shear rates. The thermodynamics and rheological behavior of PCL/PLA blends has been studied in an attempt to find ways to improve the mechanical properties of PCL. The effects of shear and heating rates on the determination of the phase separation boundary of the PCL/PLA blend system were studied in detail. The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) phase boundary for this system is shifted based on the frequency, heating rate and concentration of the components. Additionally, higher molecular weight amorphous PLA leads to phase separation boundary shifted to lower temperatures. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) thermograms of PCL/PLA blends exhibit separate melting peaks, which are indicative of immiscible structure at all compositions in agreement with the phase diagram. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images have shown droplet morphology of PCL into PLA matrix up to 40wt% of PCL. Above this concentration the co-continuous morphology starts to appear, which becomes again droplet morphology for blends with PCL concentration above 60wt%. The viscoelastic studies in the phase separated region have shown the enhancement of the elastic modulus of blends at small frequencies, which is a signature behavior of immiscible systems due to the presence of interface and interfacial tension contribution to the stress. Emulsion models were found to be successful in the prediction of viscoelastic behavior at the compositions which corresponds to droplet morphology.

description: Women continue to be underrepresented in STEM occupations (science, technology, engineering, and math). Based on a survey among secondary school students in Vienna, we show, for instance, that girls’ career aspirations, interests, and self-assessed skills in STEM fields are related to gender stereo- types. Parents also play a crucial role in this context. Further results indicate that a half-day career guidance workshop, which confronts students with role models, can change gender-biased attitudes towards technology. This demonstrates that short, inexpensive interventions can be an effective way of fostering girls’ interest in STEM.

description: The spread of the coronavirus worldwide is exerting considerable pressure on the economy. Compounded by the lack of quality data, model uncertainty, and uncertainty over government responses, economic forecasts are subject to even greater uncertainty than usual. It is difficult to predict how the pandemic will progress. Figures on the impact of the virus, obtained by comparing it with previous epidemics, for example, provide rough approximations at best. Based on the model calculations, Germany can expect to suffer huge economic losses. Given the information available, it is reasonable to assume that economic output will actually be one percentage point lower than recently projected in the winter outlook. As a result, GDP will decline by 0.1 percent this year. If the higher number of working days this year is factored in, in line with general international practice, economic output will fall by as much as 0.5 percent. The corona pandemic will plunge Germany into recession, albeit the exact size of the downturn remains unclear.

description: We prove the Lukacs characterization of the Wishart distribution on non-octonion symmetric cones of rank greater than 2. We weaken the smoothness assumptions in the version of the Lukacs theorem of [Bobecka-Wesołowski, Studia Math. 152 (2002), 147-160]. The main tool is a new solution of the Olkin-Baker functional equation on symmetric cones, under the assumption of continuity of respective functions. It was possible thanks to the use of Gleason's theorem.

description: The ongoing corona pandemic is causing a major shock to the global economy. In the coming months, many countries are expected to suffer severe economic downturns. Sealing off entire regions disrupts supply chains, resulting in production losses and falls in consumption. The global economy is expected to grow by as little as 2.5 percent this year instead of by the 3.7 percent forecasted previously. If the situation normalizes again in the course of the year, however, 3.5 percent growth will, in all likelihood, be achieved in the next year.

Sn1-xBixO2 and Sn1-xTaxO2 (0 \leq x \leq 0.75): A first-principles study

description: The structural, elastic, electronic and optical (x = 0) properties of doped Sn1-xBixO2 and Sn1-xTaxO2 (0 \leq x \leq 0.75) are studied by using the first-principles pseudopotential plane-wave method within the local density approximation. The independent elastic constants Cij and other elastic parameters of these compounds have been calculated for the first time. The mechanical stability of the compounds with different doping concentrations has also been studied. The electronic band structure and density of states are calculated and the effect of doping on these properties is also analyzed. It is seen that the band gap of the undoped compound narrowed with dopant concentration which disappeared for x = 0.26 for Bi doping and 0.36 for Ta doping. The materials thus become conductive oxides through the change in the electronic properties of the compound for x \leq 0.75 which may be useful for potential application. The calculated optical properties, e.g. dielectric function, refractive index, absorption spectrum, loss-function, reflectivity and conductivity of the undoped SnO2 in two polarization directions are compared with both previous calculations and measurements. Keywords: Doped SnO2; First-principles; Mechanical properties; Electronic band structure; Optical properties.
