description: Οι αδυναμίες και οι παθογένειες του ισχύοντος Ελληνικού Δημοσιονομικού συστήματος ανεδείχθησαν με την εμφάνιση της Οικονομικής κρίσης στην Ελλάδα. Ως εκ τούτου, δημιουργήθηκε η αναγκαιότητα να θεσπιστεί ένα νέο Δημοσιονομικό πλαίσιο κατ’ εφαρμογή του Ευρωπαϊκού Δημοσιονομικού πλαισίου, το οποίο να μπορεί να ανταποκριθεί στις απαιτήσεις του Προγράμματος προσαρμογής και Ανάπτυξης, με στόχο την εξυγίανση της Οικονομίας μέσω μεταξύ άλλων τη δραστική καταπολέμηση σπατάλης, τη μείωση ελλειμμάτων και τον εξορθολογισμό των Δημοσίων δαπανών, ώστε να αναβαθμιστεί η θέση της χώρα μας και να βελτιωθεί η αξιοπιστία της διεθνώς και στην Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση σε θέματα αξιολόγησης Προϋπολογισμού. Σύμφωνα με έκθεση της Ευρωπαϊκής Επιτροπής το 2007 για την πορεία των οικονομικών σε 18 χώρες της ΟΝΕ, «η Ελλάδα εμφανίζεται προ-τελευταία στον δείκτη της εκ των άνω (topdown) διαδικασίας κατάρτισης προϋπολογισμού, τρίτη από το τέλος στον δείκτη συγκεντρωτισμού της κατάρτισης του προϋπολογισμού, πρώτη στον δείκτη συγκεντρωτισμού της εκτέλεσης του προϋπολογισμού και τελευταία στον δείκτη διαφάνειας του προϋπολογισμού». Οι Νόμοι 3871/2010, 4270/2014, 4337/2016 επιφέρουν σημαντικές διαθρωτικές μεταρρυθμίσεις εστιάζοντας κατ’ αρχή στην ενίσχυση του εποπτικού ρόλου του Υπουργείου Οικονομικών στο ευρύτερο πεδίο της Δημοσιονομικής διαχείρισης και όχι μόνο στον ελεγκτικό μηχανισμό, τη μεταβίβαση ευθύνης του ελέγχου των δημοσίων δαπανών στους Κρατικούς φορείς, στον τομέα του Προϋπολογισμού και του Ελέγχου των Δημοσίων Δαπανών, με τη θέσπιση κατάλληλων μηχανισμών, δημιουργώντας αξιόπιστα εργαλεία για την άσκηση χρηστής δημοσιονομικής διαχείρισης με τη θέσπιση ενός ορθολογικότερου συστήματος ελέγχου δαπανών. Ουσιαστικά την πλήρη ευθύνη για την οικονομική διαχείριση των Οργανικών μονάδων που προΐστανται αναλαμβάνουν τα Υπουργεία και οι επιμέρους Κρατικοί Φορείς (Γενικές Διευθύνσεις Οικονομικών υπηρεσιών) με βάση ενιαίες οδηγίες του ΓΛΚ, χωρίς όμως να συμμετέχουν στη διαδικασία. Ταυτόχρονα, υιοθετείται μία νέα «κουλτούρα» στην άσκηση των δημοσιονομικών, έχοντας προσιδιάσει χαρακτηριστικά της αγοράς και του ιδιωτικού τομέα, δίνοντας έμφαση στην έννοια της νέας διαχείρισης των Δημόσιων Χρηματοοικονομικών, η οποία εξελίχτηκε από τη παραδοσιακή έννοια της Δημοσιονομικής Διαχείρισης και επεκτείνεται και σε άλλα πεδία κατά την διαχείριση των Δημοσίων Πόρων, ενώ παράλληλα εφαρμόζεται ένα αξιόπιστο ενιαίο λογιστικό σύστημα στα πλαίσια της διαφάνειας των χρηματοοικονομικών δεδομένων των Δημόσιων Οικονομικών.

description: The rapidly increasing array of Internet-scale threats is a pressing problem for every organization that utilizes the network. Organizations often have limited resources to detect and respond to these threats. The sharing of information related to probes and attacks is a facet of an emerging trend toward 'collaborative security.' Collaborative security mechanisms provide network administrators with a valuable tool in this increasingly hostile environment. The perceived benefit of a collaborative approach to intrusion detection is threefold: greater clarity about attacker intent, precise models of adversarial behavior, and a better view of global network attack activity. While many organizations see value in adopting such a collaborative approach, several critical problems must be addressed before intrusion detection can be performed on an inter-organizational scale. These obstacles to collaborative intrusion detection often go beyond the merely technical; the relationships between cooperating organizations impose additional constraints on the amount and type of information to be shared. We propose a completely decentralized system that can efficiently distribute alerts to each collaborating peer. The system is composed of two major components that embody the main contribution of our research. The first component, named Worminator, is a tool for extracting relevant information from alert streams and encoding it in Bloom filters. The second component, Whirlpool, is a software system for scheduling correlation relationships between peer nodes. The combination of these systems accomplishes alert distribution in a scalable manner and without violating the privacy of each administrative domain.
The parameters of Menzerath-Altmann law in genomes

description: The relationship between the size of the whole and the size of the parts in language and music is known to follow Menzerath-Altmann law at many levels of description (morphemes, words, sentences...). Qualitatively, the law states that larger the whole, the smaller its parts, e.g., the longer a word (in syllables) the shorter its syllables (in letters or phonemes). This patterning has also been found in genomes: the longer a genome (in chromosomes), the shorter its chromosomes (in base pairs). However, it has been argued recently that mean chromosome length is trivially a pure power function of chromosome number with an exponent of -1. The functional dependency between mean chromosome size and chromosome number in groups of organisms from three different kingdoms is studied. The fit of a pure power function yields exponents between -1.6 and 0.1. It is shown that an exponent of -1 is unlikely for fungi, gymnosperm plants, insects, reptiles, ray-finned fishes and amphibians. Even when the exponent is very close to -1, adding an exponential component is able to yield a better fit with regard to a pure power-law in plants, mammals, ray-finned fishes and amphibians. The parameters of Menzerath-Altmann law in genomes deviate significantly from a power law with a -1 exponent with the exception of birds and cartilaginous fishes.

description: With the arrival of the fall of 2003, the Japanese economy seemed to have started to change for the better
finally after its long stagnation. This is in view of rising stock prices, improving corporate
performance, a positive real growth for seven quarters in a row (though the deflator has been
negative for 22 quarters in a row), a rather rosy outcome of the latest Tankan survey, and other
positive indicators.

description: Social network analysis (SNA) is a powerful, quantitative tool to measure animals' direct and indirect social connectedness in the context of social groups. However, the extent to which behavioural sampling methods influence SNA metrics remains unclear. To fill this gap, here we compare network indices of grooming, huddling, and aggression calculated from data collected from three macaque species through two sampling methods: focal animal sampling (FAS) and all-occurrences behaviour sampling (ABS). We found that measures of direct connectedness (degree centrality, and network density) were correlated between FAS and ABS for all social behaviours. Eigenvector and betweenness centralities were correlated for grooming and aggression networks across all species. By contrast, for huddling, we found a correlation only for betweenness centrality while eigenvector centralities were correlated only for the tolerant bonnet macaque but not so for the despotic rhesus macaque. Grooming and huddling network modularity and centralization were correlated between FAS and ABS for all but three of the eight groups. By contrast, for aggression network, we found a correlation for network centralization but not modularity between the sampling methodologies. We discuss how our findings provide researchers with new guidelines regarding choosing the appropriate sampling method to estimate social network metrics.

description: The First World War represents the apex of the ideal of the male warrior hero. Between 1914 and 1918, both the soldiers themselves and combatant societies relied upon gendered language to make sense of the war. The repercussions of mechanised warfare and mass slaughter on the concept of martial masculinity were ambivalent and varied along national lines.

description: Eine mögliche Schnittstelle zwischen der Parodontitis (PA) und rheumatoider Arthritis (RA) könnte die Existenz gemeinsamer genetischer Risiko- oder Resistenzfaktoren sein. Dafür untersuchte die vorliegende Studie genetische Variationen in den Genen PTPN22 (rs2476601), PADI4 (rs2240340), CTLA4 (rs3087243) hinsichtlich einer möglichen Assoziation zu PA und/oder RA. Die Studie zählte 111 RA-Probanden (26 schwere PA/ 95 ohne schwere PA) und 256 RA-freie Kontrollen (161 schwere PA/ 95 ohne schwere PA) unter Berücksichtigung des Schweregrades der PA (Tonetti und Claffey 2005). In logistischen Regressionsanalysen konnte eine Assoziation zwischen dem T- Allel im SNP rs2476601 (PTPN22) und dem Auftreten einer RA (bivariat: p<0.001; multivariat: p=0.018), PA (bivariat: p=0.043; multivariat: p=0.024) und Komorbidität beider Erkrankungen (bivariat: p<0.001; multivariat: p=0.028) nachgewiesen werden. Die Studie vertieft das Wissen über die wechselseitigen Beeinflussungen beider Erkrankungen.
description: A possible interface between periodontitis (PD) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) could be the existence of common genetic risk or resistance factors. The present study focused on genetic variants in PTPN22 (rs2476601), PADI4 (rs2240340), CTLA4 (rs3087243) and its impact on RA and PD. In this study 111 RA patients (26 severe PD/ 85 without severe PD) and 256 systemically healthy controls without RA (161 severe PD/ 95 without severe PD) subdivided according to their periodontal status were included (Tonetti and Claffey 2005). Logistic regression analyses identified an association between the T-allele of SNP rs2476601 in PTPN22 and RA (bivariate: p<0.001; multivariate: p=0.018), PD (bivariate: p=0.043; multivariate: p=0.024) and the comorbidity of both diseases (bivariate: p<0.001; multivariate: p=0.028).

An Entropy-based Assessment of the Unicode Encoding for Tibetan
Creators: name: Hackett, Paul G.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2003
Subjects: Computer science
Language and languages

description: This paper presents an analysis of the Unicode encoding scheme for Tibetan from the standpoint of morpheme entropy. We can speak of two levels of entropy in Tibetan: syllable entropy (a measure of the probability of the sequential occurrence of syllables), and morpheme entropy (a measure of the probability of the sequential occurrence of characters or morphemes), the latter being a measure of the redundancy of the language. Syllable entropy is a purely statistical calculation that is a function of the domain of the literature sampled, while morpheme entropy, we show, is relatively domain independent given a statistically significant sample. Morpheme entropy can be calculated statistically, though a theoretical upper bound can also be postulated based on language dependent morphology rules. This paper presents both theoretical and statistical estimates of the morpheme entropy for Tibetan, and explores the Tibetan Unicode encoding scheme in relation to data compression, and other issues analyzed in light of entropy-based language modeling.

description: The oblique random survival forest (RSF) is an ensemble supervised learning method for right-censored outcomes. Trees in the oblique RSF are grown using linear combinations of predictors, whereas in the standard RSF, a single predictor is used. Oblique RSF ensembles have high prediction accuracy, but assessing many linear combinations of predictors induces high computational overhead. In addition, few methods have been developed for estimation of variable importance (VI) with oblique RSFs. We introduce a method to increase computational efficiency of the oblique RSF and a method to estimate VI with the oblique RSF. Our computational approach uses Newton-Raphson scoring in each non-leaf node, We estimate VI by negating each coefficient used for a given predictor in linear combinations, and then computing the reduction in out-of-bag accuracy. In benchmarking experiments, we find our implementation of the oblique RSF is hundreds of times faster, with equivalent prediction accuracy, compared to existing software for oblique RSFs. We find in simulation studies that ‘negation VI’ discriminates between relevant and irrelevant numeric predictors more accurately than permutation VI, Shapley VI, and a technique to measure VI using analysis of variance. All oblique RSF methods in the current study are available in the aorsf R package, and additional supplemental materials are available online.

description: The post-war economy was shaped by wartime changes. Compensation issues for soldiers and their families loomed and played out against a backdrop of post-war volatility – a boom followed by a depression. In the later 1920s, compensation issues were not as prominent both on account of time passing and better economic conditions. They returned in the 1930s, although they were then overshadowed by the much more extensive economic and social distress experienced at that time.

description: Von Mind Wandering spricht man, wenn sich die Aufmerksamkeit von der eigentlichen Aufgabe hin zu aufgabenunabhängigen Gedanken verlagert. Diese Arbeit untersuchte das Zusammenspiel von Aufgabenanforderungen (Textschwierigkeit, Hyperlinkstrukturen) und individuellen Unterschieden (Arbeitsgedächtniskapazität) beim Lesen digitaler Texte. Es wurde angenommen, dass geringe kognitive Ressourcen bei hohen Aufgabenanforderungen zu einem erhöhten Erleben von Mind Wandering führt. Eine Überprüfung dessen erfolgte mittels drei durchgeführten Studien. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass das Lesen schwieriger digitaler Texte bei einer geringen Arbeitsgedächtniskapazität zu einem erhöhten Erleben von Mind Wandering und damit zu einer Aufmerksamkeitsverlagerung führte. Mind Wandering trat immer dann vermehrt auf, wenn die Aufgabenanforderungen die vorhandenen kognitiven Ressourcen übersteigten. In der übergreifenden Diskussion wurden aus den Ergebnissen der Studien Implikationen für die Praxis abgeleitet.
description: Mind wandering occurs when attention shifts from the actual task to task-independent thoughts. This work investigated the interaction of task demands (text difficulty, hyperlink structures) and individual differences (working memory capacity) in reading digital texts. It was hypothesized that low cognitive resources in the presence of high task demands would lead to an increased experience of mind wandering. A verification of this was done by means of three conducted studies. The results showed that reading difficult digital texts with a low working memory capacity led to an increased experience of mind wandering and thus to an attentional shift. Mind wandering occurred more frequently whenever task demands exceeded available cognitive resources. In the overall discussion, implications for practice were derived from the results of the studies.

description: Magnetic texturing on the surface of a topological insulator allows the design of wave guide networks and beam splitters for domain-wall Dirac fermions. Guided by simple analytic arguments we model a Dirac fermion interferometer consisting of two parallel pathways, whereby a newly developed staggered-grid leap-frog discretization scheme in 2+1 dimensions with absorbing boundary conditions is employed. The net transmission can be tuned between constructive to destructive interference, either by variation of the magnetization (path length) or an applied bias (wave length). Based on this principle, a Dirac fermion transistor is proposed. Extensions to more general networks are discussed.

description: Power, the perceived capability to influence others, is considered as a fundamental force in driving human’s mind and behavior. After summarizing conceptual perspectives on power in Chapter 1, I present in Chapter 2 the German Personal Sense of Power Scale. The scale showed convincing reliability, stability, and validity. In Chapter 3, associations of sense of power with relationship quality are studied in romantic relationships. In Chapter 4, power is linked with forgiveness in romantic couples. Self-esteem was a relevant mediator. In Chapter 5, power predicted positive body image. Yet, power can also lead to cognitive illusions (Chapter 6). Altogether, power pervades close intimate relationships and impacts feelings and self-evaluations. This dissertation advances the measurement of power. Further, power was studied from a social and personality psychological stance because social relationships, cognitive biases, and effects on the self-concept were examined.
description: Macht, die wahrgenommene Fähigkeit, andere zu beeinflussen, wirkt auf unser Denken und Verhalten. Nachdem ich in Kapitel 1 Theorien zu Macht zusammenfasse, stelle ich in Kapitel 2 die deutsche Skala zum persönlichen Machtgefühl vor. Die Skala zeigte überzeugende Reliabilität, Stabilität und Validität. In Kapitel 3 wird der Zusammenhang von Macht und Beziehungsqualität in Paarbeziehungen untersucht. In Kapitel 4 wird der Zusammenhang zwischen Macht und Vergebung bei Paaren untersucht. Selbstwert war ein wichtiger Mediator. In Kapitel 5 wird gezeigt, dass Macht ein positives Körperbild bedingt. Macht kann aber auch zu kognitiven Illusionen führen (Kapitel 6). Insgesamt durchdringt Macht Beziehungen und wirkt sich auf Gefühle und Selbsteinschätzungen aus. In dieser Forschung wurde die Messung von Macht adressiert. Außerdem wurde Macht aus sozial- und persönlichkeitspsychologischer Sicht untersucht, da soziale Beziehungen, Illusionen und Auswirkungen auf das Selbst untersucht wurden.

description: We study the charged chiral matter spectrum of four-dimensional F-theory compactifications on elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau fourfolds by using the dual M-theory description. A chiral spectrum can be induced by M-theory four-form flux on the fully resolved Calabi-Yau fourfold. In M-theory this flux yields three-dimensional Chern-Simons couplings in the Coulomb branch of the gauge theory. In the F-theory compactification on an additional circle these couplings are only generated by one-loop corrections with charged fermions running in the loop. This identification allows us to infer the net number of chiral matter fields of the four-dimensional effective theory. The chirality formulas can be evaluated by using the intersection numbers and the cones of effective curves of the resolved fourfolds. We argue that a study of the effective curves also allows to follow the resolution process at each co-dimension. To write simple chirality formulas we suggest to use the effective curves involved in the resolution process to determine the matter surfaces and to connect with the group theory at co-dimension two in the base. We exemplify our methods on examples with SU(5) and SU(5)xU(1) gauge group.

description: A series of metal organic frameworks with amino group and excellent hydrostability were designed and fabricated by means of regulating organic ligands, which were characterized and used to enrich oleuropein from aqueous solution. The results showed that the specific surface area and pore structure could be modulated and overmuch amino group would be unfavorable for the adsorption efficiency for oleuropein. Hydrogen bonding, sieving effect hydrophobic interaction, and π-π were involved in the adsorption process. The excellent adsorption efficiency and regeneration make the present materials highly promising useful in practical application to enrich oleuropein from aqueous solution.

description: We explore the consequences of heavy quark spin symmetry for the charmed meson-antimeson system in a contact-range (or pionless) effective field theory. As a trivial consequence, we theorize the existence of a heavy quark spin symmetry partner of the X(3872), with $J^{PC}=2^{++}$, which we call X(4012) in reference to its predicted mass. If we additionally assume that the X(3915) is a $0^{++}$ heavy spin symmetry partner of the X(3872), we end up predicting a total of six $D^{(*)}\bar{D}^{(*)}$ molecular states. We also discuss the error induced by higher order effects such as finite heavy quark mass corrections, pion exchanges and coupled channels, allowing us to estimate the expected theoretical uncertainties in the position of these new states.

description: This article seeks to explore one of the recent controversial EU debates related to political micro-targeting (PMT): is the practice of PMT compliant with the EUs General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)? It can be argued that significant changes are necessary with regards to the manner in which political actors and social media platforms engage with their data protection obligations in PMT. If these cannot be met and/or are not being complied with, the current way in which PMT is performed could likely be considered unlawful.

description: This article examines the shifting nature of Canadian federal politics during the First World War with an emphasis on conscription and the formation of the Union Government. The impact of these issues on national unity is examined, as is the deterioration in relations between English and French-speaking Canadians. The crisis in national unity was expressed politically with the fracturing of the Liberal Party along linguistic lines and the creation of a national government under the leadership of Prime Minister Sir Robert Borden. A new kind of nationalism emerged from the war, but not one that was shared by all Canadians.

description: Η τεχνολογία των Ψηφιακών Διδύμων (Digital Twins) είναι ένας ταχέως αναπτυσσόμενος τομέας που έχει τη δυνατότητα να φέρει επανάσταση στον τρόπο λειτουργίας των λιμένων. Ένα ψηφιακό δίδυμο είναι μια εικονική αναπαράσταση ενός φυσικού στοιχείου, όπως ένας λιμένας, που επιτρέπει την παρακολούθηση, την ανάλυση και τη βελτιστοποίηση των λειτουργιών του σε πραγματικό χρόνο. Αυτή η τεχνολογία μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί για την προσομοίωση και τη βελτιστοποίηση της κίνησης πλοίων, φορτίου και ανθρώπων μέσω ενός λιμανιού, καθώς και για τη βελτίωση της ασφάλειας, της αποτελεσματικότητας και της βιωσιμότητας. Με την αυξανόμενη ζήτηση για ψηφιοποίηση στη ναυτιλιακή βιομηχανία, η εφαρμογή της τεχνολογίας ψηφιακών διδύμων στα λιμάνια γίνεται πιο διαδεδομένη. Η παρούσα εργασία στοχεύει στη διερεύνηση της εφαρμογής της τεχνολογίας ψηφιακών διδύμων στα λιμάνια, με επίκεντρο τα λιμάνια του Πειραιά, της Θεσσαλονίκης και της Πάτρας, που είναι τα τρία μεγαλύτερα λιμάνια της χώρας. Επιπλέον, παρουσιάζεται μια μελέτη εφαρμογής των ψηφιακών διδύμων (digital twins) στα λιμάνια, αντλώντας πληροφορίες για την εφαρμογή της τεχνολογίας στον ευρύτερο κλάδο της Ναυτιλίας. Συγκεκριμένα, εξετάζονται οι τεχνολογίες των Digital Twins που μπορούν να εφαρμοστούν στα λιμάνια του Πειραιά, της Θεσσαλονίκης και της Πάτρας. Η βιβλιογραφική ανασκόπηση η οποία ενέχει στοιχεία συστηματικής βιβλιογραφίας (άρθρων και πληροφοριών από τη διεθνή βιβλιογραφία που σχετίζονται με το θέμα) και κριτικής ανάλυσης των αποτελεσμάτων αυτής, συμβάλλει στην διερεύνηση της εφαρμογής στα τρία βασικά λιμάνια της χώρας μας.

description: The present work focuses on the barley protein Hordeum vulgare Farnesylated Protein 1 (HvFP1), which belongs to the plant specific Heavy metal associated Isoprenylated Plant Protein (HIPP) family, and showed that it is involved in a crosstalk between abiotic stress responses and developmental signaling pathways. Establishment and study of transgenic lines showed that overexpression of HvFP1 suppressed the expression of some specific stress-induced and ABA-related genes and delayed the course of developmental leaf senescence. Furthermore, stress-related phytohormones induced, while developmental phytohormones suppressed the expression of HvFP1. A transcriptomic analysis with selected samples of barley primary leaves resulted in a long list of senescence associated genes for barley, as well as a number of genes, which are regulated downstream of HvFP1 and have core functions in the coordination of plant developmental and stress responses.
description: Die vorliegende Arbeit konzentriert sich auf das Gerstenprotein HvFP1, das zur Familie der HIPP Proteine gehört, und zeigte, dass es an einem Crosstalk-Wirkungsmechanismus zwischen abiotischen Stressreaktionen und entwicklungsbedingten Signalwegen beteiligt ist. Die Etablierung und Untersuchung transgener Linien zeigte, dass die Überexpression von HvFP1 zu einer veränderten Expression von stressinduzierten und ABA-bezogenen Gene führte und einen verzögerten Verlauf der entwicklungsbedingten Blattseneszenz zeigen. Darüber hinaus induzierten stressbedingte Phytohormone die Expression von HvFP1, während entwicklungsbedingte Phytohormone die Expression von HvFP1 unterdrückten. Eine transkriptomanalyse mit ausgewählten Proben von Gerstenprimärblättern ergab eine lange Liste seneszenzassoziierter Gene für Gerste sowie eine Reihe von Genen, die downstream von HvFP1 reguliert werden und Multifunktionen bei der Koordination pflanzlicher Entwicklungs- und Stressreaktionen haben.

description: Large scale structure surveys will likely become the next leading cosmological probe. In our universe, matter perturbations are large on short distances and small at long scales, i.e. strongly coupled in the UV and weakly coupled in the IR. To make precise analytical predictions on large scales, we develop an effective field theory formulated in terms of an IR effective fluid characterized by several parameters, such as speed of sound and viscosity. These parameters, determined by the UV physics described by the Boltzmann equation, are measured from N-body simulations. We find that the speed of sound of the effective fluid is c_s^2 10^(-6) and that the viscosity contributions are of the same order. The fluid describes all the relevant physics at long scales k and permits a manifestly convergent perturbative expansion in the size of the matter perturbations δ(k) for all the observables. As an example, we calculate the correction to the power spectrum at order δ(k)^4. The predictions of the effective field theory are found to be in much better agreement with observation than standard cosmological perturbation theory, already reaching percent precision at this order up to a relatively short scale k \sim 0.24 h/Mpc.

The new Japan: Economic recovery, corporate restructuring, and the Internet

description: Japan is in the process of a profound economic and business transformation, which has been underway for some time and will take perhaps another five years or more. Japan is moving toward a less regulated and more market-oriented economy, to a more open and competitive economy, and to an economy in which the information technology revolution is beginning to spread rapidly, transforming competitive conditions for firms and markets. Thirty years ago, agriculture and textiles may have characterized the "old Japan", while the "new Japan" included steel, automobiles, and consumer electronics. Today's "old Japan" refers to large, well-established firms in many heavy industrial sectors, the banking system, and the large trading companies. Unlike agriculture, many firms in these industries are transforming themselves by restructuring and investing in information technology in order to be effective participants in Japan's evolving economy. There are major new features of what is currently called the "New Japan." On February 11, 2000, the Center on Japanese Economy and Business, the Jerome A. Chazen Institute of International Business and the Center for International Business Education of Columbia University, and Sumitomo Corporation of America, hosted a one-day international conference to explore these and related issues. Distinguished scholars, senior business executives, and young, successful entrepreneurs participated in a series of panel discussions to assess the macro-economic environment in Japan; the incipient explosion in Japan of venture capital activities, new Internet firms, and e-commerce; foreign Merger and Acquisition and foreign investment in Japanese industries; and the implications of these changes for the Japanese and American economies. Excerpts of their presentations are presented below with highlights of the intra-panel and audience discussions.

description: Siam (Thailand) declared war on Germany and Austria-Hungary in mid-1917. In 1918 it sent a small expeditionary force to France, the only troops of an independent Southeast Asian country to participate in the war in Europe and the occupation of Germany. While militarily insignificant, Siam’s participation in the war allowed the country’s royal elite to reaffirm its rule and to foster patriotic sentiment. After the war Siam participated in the Paris Peace Conference and became a founding member of the League of Nations. Siam’s participation in the war was a key step towards abolishing the unequal treaties that were limiting its commercial and legal autonomy. Siam’s declaration of war marked a significant foreign policy decision in an age of imperialism.

description: Motivated by the recent discovery of Fe-based superconductors close to an antiferromagnetic insulator in the experimental phase diagram, here the five-orbital Hubbard model (without lattice distortions) is studied using the real-space Hartree-Fock approximation, employing a 10x10 Fe cluster with Fe vacancies in a $\sqrt{5}x\sqrt{5}$ pattern. Varying the Hubbard and Hund couplings, and at electronic density $n$=6.0, the phase diagram contains an insulating state with the same spin pattern as observed experimentally, involving 2x2 ferromagnetic plaquettes coupled with one another antiferromagnetically. The presence of local ferromagnetic tendencies is in qualitative agreement with Lanczos results for the three-orbital model also reported here. The magnetic moment ~ 3$μ_B$/Fe is in good agreement with experiments. Several other phases are also stabilized in the phase diagram, in agreement with recent calculations using phenomenological models.
