The Farm Family and Their Farm Business: A Multidisciplinary, but Potentially Explosive Mix of Business, Legal Ownership and Family Aspects

Subjects: Farm Management

description: The family farm is a complex interaction overtime between the three major or macro components; the farm business, ownership and the farm family. Failure by the farm family to understand or appreciate the complexity of the interaction or be aware of the potential effects each components may have on each other may well result in less than optimal use of the resources available. Inheritance can turn a viable family farm into a non-viable family farm, 'overnight'. The Australian family farm is a very large investment, on average, of around AUD $1 to $1.5 million, yet the family focus is primarily farming, rather than on the provision of cash to satisfy family needs. The farm family 'accommodates' to the farms cash output and at times off farm income is a necessity to support or supplement the farm income. Coupled with this situation, ownership of land, the basis of family farming, creates a paradox for many farm families, as land has two value systems; one during the owners life time to earn a 'living' (historical cost); and on death, as an asset for distributing to other family members as an inheritance (current cost). It is this dual use of ownership that creates the paradox. In today's legal environment parents are concerned about how to be fair or to provide for their children equally. The farm is usually the parents only/major asset and the child, who takes over or 'inherits' the family farm pays out their siblings their share of 'inheritance', this in effect is 'buying the family farm each generation' and significantly affects farm viability. Inheritance undermines farm business sustainability and competitiveness. The family farm needs to grow to keep up with inflation and technological change, but this only increases the inheritance problem. Traditionally, each of these three major components have been serviced by separate and specialised service providers and at times the advice provided for one component, may be dysfunctional to one or both of the other major components. There is thus a need for a macro generalist to help overcome the shortcomings of the present specialist advice system provided farm families. A number of farm family members were asked to evaluate and rate a number of options and ideas, as an alternative to the inheritance paradox, which would provide a basis for growth and building on what the parents had built. The No. 1 rating was separating the family farm into the components of; the farm business; the ownership structure; and the farm family. Most of the options/ideas were new to the participants and the comment was made many times, that there was a lack of information available to assist farm families with their business and family issues and that they do not know what questions to ask. This research has significant implications for farm service providers. Who is servicing who?
Orbital Structure of Collisionless Merger Remnants: On the Origin of Photometric and Kinematic Properties of Elliptical and S0 Galaxies

description: We present a detailed investigation of the relation between the orbital content of merger remnants and observable properties of elliptical and S0 galaxies. Our analysis is based on the statistical sample of collisionless mergers of disk galaxies with different mass ratios and orbital parameters, published by Naab & Burkert. We use the spectral method by Carpintero & Aguilar to determine the orbital content of every remnant and correlate it with its intrinsic shape, and its projected kinematic and photometric properties. We discuss the influence of the bulge component and varying pericenter distances. The two most abundant orbit classes are the minor axis tubes and the box orbits. Their ratio seems to determine the basic properties of a remnant. On average, the fraction of minor axis tubes increases by a factor of two from a merger mass ratio of 1:1 to 4:1, whereas the fraction of box orbits decreases by 10%. At a given mass the central velocity dispersion of a remnant scales with the ratio of minor axis tubes to box orbits. Interestingly, the division line between rotational supported systems and pressure supported objects, $(v_{maj}/σ_0)^*=0.7$, turns out to coincide with a box to minor axis tube ratio of unity. The observed $h_3$-$v/σ$ anti-correlation for ellipticals can not be reproduced by collisionless merger remnants. We propose that this can only be reconciled by an additional physical process that significantly reduces the box orbit content. Remnants which are dominated by minor axis tube orbits have predominantly disky projections. Boxy remnants have always a box to minor axis tube ratio larger than one. This study will enable to identify observed ellipticals that could have formed, in the collisionless limit, by gas-poor disk mergers.

description: We use new and archival Chandra and ROSAT data to study the time variability of the X-ray emission from the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) powered by PSR B1509-58 on timescales of one week to twelve years. There is variability in the size, number, and brightness of compact knots appearing within 20" of the pulsar, with at least one knot showing a possible outflow velocity of ~0.6c (assuming a distance to the source of 5.2 kpc). The transient nature of these knots may indicate that they are produced by turbulence in the flows surrounding the pulsar. A previously identified prominent jet extending 12 pc to the southeast of the pulsar increased in brightness by 30% over 9 years; apparent outflow of material along this jet is observed with a velocity of ~0.5c. However, outflow alone cannot account for the changes in the jet on such short timescales. Magnetohydrodynamic sausage or kink instabilities are feasible explanations for the jet variability with timescale of ~1.3-2 years. An arc structure, located 30"-45" north of the pulsar, shows transverse structural variations and appears to have moved inward with a velocity of ~0.03c over three years. The overall structure and brightness of the diffuse PWN exterior to this arc and excluding the jet has remained the same over the twelve year span. The photon indices of the diffuse PWN and possibly the jet steepen with increasing radius, likely indicating synchrotron cooling at X-ray energies.

description: Better ways of managing native biodiversity and farm business are examined on selected wool properties across the Central Victoria region in Australia, using the Ararat Hills as a case study. Future management options are being developed in close collaboration with each producer in order to enhance native biodiversity while maintaining or improving farm profitability. Detailed vegetation surveys have been carried out on each property, and a set of management options developed that are consistent with regional conservation priorities. The options involve various levels of capital expenditure and outlay of time and resources. The challenge of the project is to come up with solutions that help offset this outlay of resources and minimise the costs involved. Preliminary findings from the biodiversity surveys and the evaluation of the financial position of the farms are reported.

description: In Indonesia, national historical records show increasing agricultural credit provision by government, yet farmers seem to be unable to escape poverty. In addition, the repayment of credit has tended to be lower as years proceed. This paper analyses the performance of credit in terms of agricultural production, farmers' earnings, and credit repayment, and factors contributing to the performance. The analysis is based upon a survey conducted in Central Lombok, where the current KKP government credit scheme is provided to agricultural producers. Three villages within the regency were sampled, representing various repayment rates of government credit. Data were collected using face-to-face, semi-structured interviews with 65 farmers who had made use of government or other sources of agricultural credit. Studies of individual farmers making use of credit in the surveyed area indicated that credit had a small impact on agricultural production and farmers' income. About half of the farmers reported that credit did not help. The other half of farmers experienced a positive impact of credit through intensification and timely husbandry application. There was a varying repayment rate by individual credit users, which reflected farmers' capability, character, and motivations.

description: We discuss a possible new resonance in active-sterile neutrino oscillations arising in theories with large extra dimensions. Fluctuations in the brane effectively increase the path-length of active neutrinos relative to the path-length of sterile neutrinos through the extra-dimensional bulk. Well below the resonance, the standard oscillation formulas apply. Well above the resonance, active-sterile oscillations are suppressed. We show that a resonance energy in the range of 30-400 MeV allows an explanation of all neutrino oscillation data, including LSND data, in a consistent four-neutrino model. A high resonance energy implies an enhanced signal in MiniBooNE. A low resonance energy implies a distorted energy spectrum in LSND, and an enhanced v_mu depletion from a stopped-pion source. The numerical value of the resonance energy may be related back to the geometric aspects of the brane world. Some astrophysical and cosmological consequences of the brane-bulk resonance are briefly sketched.

description: Ratchet effect, observed in many systems starting from living organism to artificially designed device, is a manifestation of motion in asymmetric potential. Here we report results of a conductivity study of Polypyrrole nanowires, which have been prepared by a simple method to generate a variation of doping concentration along the length. This variation gives rise to an asymmetric potential profile that hinders the symmetry of the hopping process of charges and hence the value of measured resistance of these nanowires become sensitive to the direction of current flow. The asymmetry in resistance was found to increase with decreasing nanowire diameter and increasing temperature. The observed phenomena could be explained with the assumption that the spatial extension of localized state involved in hopping process reduces as the doping concentration reduces along the length of the nanowires.

description: A model of dynamic oligopsony is estimated for the liquid milk market in the UK. The paper extends existing methods of estimating such models by allowing for the joint estimation of the market conduct equation and the input supply equation. This entails the estimation of a two equation model in which the parameters of one equation change between two regimes whilst those of the other do not. Our results provide little evidence of dynamic strategic behaviour and suggest that the farm-gate price of milk is determined competitively.

description: The paper looks at the increasing integration of China into the world market, with a specific focus on agricultural and food trade and on the Italian market. Agricultural trade among Italy and China has been limited to secondary products, especially originated in the livestock sector. However, in the last decade exchanges have been constantly increasing and the set of products changing deeply. Specifically, Italian exports to China have been specialising towards the typical "Made in Italy" processed products, showing a potential market for Italian agricultural and food products. In order to test the opportunity and the risks of the integration of China into the world agro-food markets, some similarity indices have been calculated, with refer to two different markets: the EU-15 and the Chinese market. In the first case the similarity of Chinese exports with those of some EU partners on the EU-15 market was considered; in the second the similarity of exports of some EU Member States to China was calculated. Taking into account the different level of quality of agro-food products, the main result of the analysis is that Chinese products entering EU are more complementary than similar to the EU products; at the same time, China is a great potential market for EU products, and Italy will compete with other EU countries in the gain of quotas on the Chinese agro-food market.

description: This event was the third of the 'Failed it to Nailed it' online data seminar series. The event was hosted online through a zoom conference. The event ran for approximately 3 hours in an afternoon session. There were three talks given on different aspects of responsible data management including the ethical dimensions of research data management and different types of legislation with respect to personal and non personal data. These talks covered some of the key concepts that are central to responsible data management alongside some practical methods of carrying these out. The talks were followed by an interactive breakout discussion on the moral and ethical considerations surrounding different aspects of the data lifecycle. The discussions were facilitated by using a set of Moral IT cards developed by researchers at the University of Nottingham.

They include the heavy-fermion superconductors, high-Tc cuprate superconductors, organic superconductors, Sr2RuO4, etc. Second, we present the quasiclassical approximation introduced by Volovik, which we extend to describe the thermodynamics and the thermal conductivity of the vortex state in nodal superconductors. This approach provides the most powerful tool to identify the symmetry of the energy gap function Delta(k) in these new superconductors.

description: The subject of this work is the adsorption transition of a long flexible self-avoiding polymer chain onto a rigid thin rod. The rod is represented by a cylinder of radius R with a short-ranged attractive surface potential for the chain monomers. General scaling results are obtained by using renormalization group arguments in conjunction with available results for quantum field theories with curved boundaries [McAvity and Osborn 1993 Nucl. Phys. B 394, 728]. Relevant critical exponents are identified and estimated using geometric arguments.

The 2003 Mid Term Review of the Common Agricultural Policy: A Computable General Equilibrium Analysis for Ireland

description: A Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model of the Irish economy is built and used to analyse the 2003 Mid Term Review (MTR) of the Common Agricultural Policy. The MTR represents significant reform of agricultural policy in the EU, and has generated widespread interest and numerous studies of its anticipated effects. Economists have employed a variety of modelling approaches, encompassing single and multi-country general and partial equilibrium models. This research contributes a dedicated single country CGE modelling analysis of the MTR for Ireland. IMAGE2 is a CGE model with particular emphasis on the agriculture and food processing sectors, and the careful representation of CAP instruments. The database is the most detailed and current CGE database of the Irish economy. Results from the simulation indicate that agricultural activity will decline following the implementation of the MTR. In particular, labour use in the sector will fall, as some agricultural workers seek off-farm employment and others cease to work. Despite the decline in agricultural activity, the continuation of subsidy support ensures that gross value added at factor price is maintained, and even increases slightly in the short run. There is a change in primary factor usage in agriculture, with significant extensification stimulated by the MTR. Within the sector, there are large changes in the composition of agricultural output. Reductions in output of the previously subsidised products, cattle, sheep and cereals, are accompanied by an increase in output of other agricultural goods such as other livestock, fruits and vegetables, and forestry. Advance estimates of agricultural activity in 2005, the first full year of decoupling, indicate that changes in the sector have followed these broad indications.

description: We present some partial results on the general infrared behavior of bulk-critical 1-d quantum systems with boundary. We investigate whether the boundary entropy, s(T), is always bounded below as the temperature T decreases towards 0, and whether the boundary always becomes critical in the IR limit. We show that failure of these properties is equivalent to certain seemingly pathological behaviors far from the boundary. One of our approaches uses real time methods, in which locality at the boundary is expressed by analyticity in the frequency. As a preliminary, we use real time methods to prove again that the boundary beta-function is the gradient of the boundary entropy, which implies that s(T) decreases with T. The metric on the space of boundary couplings is interpreted as the renormalized susceptibility matrix of the boundary, made finite by a natural subtraction.

description: We econometrically estimate consumer demand for dairy products in Japan using time series data for 1960-2003. We identify economic, cultural, and demographic forces that have been influencing dairy consumption patterns. We use the Almost Ideal (AI) Demand System by Deaton and Muellbauer and its variant, the Semiflexible Almost Ideal (SAI) Demand System developed by Moschini to impose concavity locally by reducing the rank of the Hessian of the expenditure function. We estimate three specifications: a full system comprising of four dairy products (fluid milk, powder milk, cheese, and butter), and an allother-goods aggregate; a subsystem for food made of four dairy goods and an all-other-food aggregate; and a sub-system of the four dairy products. The minimum distance estimator is used to estimate the demand system. We find that expenditure responses are positive, except for butter demand; own-price responses are large in absolute value; and non-price factors are important determinants of Japanese dairy consumption.
The Fundamental Manifold of Spheroids

description: We present a unifying empirical description of the structural and kinematic properties of all spheroids embedded in dark matter halos. We find that the stellar spheroidal components of galaxy clusters, which we call cluster spheroids (CSphs) and which are typically one hundred times the size of normal elliptical galaxies, lie on a "fundamental plane" as tight as that defined by ellipticals (rms in effective radius of ~0.07), but that has a different slope. The slope, as measured by the coefficient of the log(sigma) term, declines significantly and systematically between the fundamental planes of ellipticals, brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs), and CSphs.We attribute this decline primarily to a continuous change in M_e/L_e, the mass-to-light ratio within the effective radius r_e, with spheroid scale. The magnitude of the slope change requires that it arises principally from differences in the relative distributions of luminous and dark matter, rather than from stellar population differences such as in age and metallicity. By expressing the M_e/L_e term as a function of sigma in the simple derivation of the fundamental plane and requiring the behavior of that term to mimic the observed nonlinear relationship between log(M_e/L_e) and log(sigma), we simultaneously fit a 2-D manifold to the measured properties of dwarf ellipticals, ellipticals, BCGs, and CSphs. The combined data have an rms scatter in log(r_e) of 0.114 (0.099 for the combination of Es, BCGs, and CSphs), which is modestly larger than each fundamental plane has alone, but which includes the scatter introduced by merging different studies done in different filters by different investigators. This ``fundamental manifold'' fits the structural and kinematic properties of spheroids that span a factor of 100 in sigma and 1000 in r_e. (ABRIDGED)

description: Biomedical research and drug discovery are based on a continuous cycle of scientific findings being made, refined, and translated into new treatments. However, over recent years it has become clear that only a fraction of all published research findings are actually reproducible, causing waste and delays in our efforts to bring new drugs to patients. The answer is changing the way we generate and capture data, including experimental metadata. Especially in light of the increasing role of Artificial Intelligence in drug discovery, it is critical to rethink the way we approach data generation as the most important input for AI-driven drug discovery. The talk will address these recent advances in data and metadata capture based on fully automated experimentation and novel data standards.

description: We consider a multidomain superconductor/ferromagnet (SF) structure with an in-plane magnetization, assuming that the neighboring domains are separated by the Neel domain walls. We show that an odd triplet long-range component arises in the domain walls and spreads into domains over a long distance of the order ξ_T = \sqrt{D/2πT} (in the dirty limit). The density of states variation in the domains due to this component changes over distances of the order ξ_T and turns to zero in the middle of domains if the magnetization rotates in the same direction in all domain walls.

description: Colin Pillinger was a larger-than-life planetary scientist with an infectious enthusiasm for science. He was a founding member of the Planetary and Space Sciences Research Institute at the Open University in Milton Keynes. He was a mass spectroscopist who applied these techniques with great success to the study of extraterrestrial rock samples from both meteorites and the Moon. He helped identify a class of meteorite found on Earth that originated from Mars. In turn, this led to leadership of the Beagle 2 Mars lander project, which was designed to take scientific instruments to Mars in order to search for evidence of past life. Against all odds, the landing on Mars was successful, but communication with the lander was never established. Colin was a brilliant innovator, both in his science and in adopting a somewhat unconventional approach to funding the ambitious Beagle 2 project. He enjoyed the fact that, even though it was possible to purchase off-the-shelf instrumentation, the truly creative aspect of his analytic method was in the details of how it was applied, for which the rule book was still being written. Throughout his career he continued to ride the wave of new developments and was always keen to push the limits. He was a brilliant communicator, always full of engaging enthusiasm.

description: In the last decades the Brazilian agriculture had a strong growth. Our hypothesis is that most of that growth may be attributed to two general factors, which may conveniently be related to two types of shocks acting upon agriculture: demand-related and technological supply-related shocks. Demand shocks are originated both from domestic economy but also from external markets. We use Blanchard & Quah (1989) type of methodology to test the relative importance of supply and demand shocks on Brazilian agricultural growth. Our results indicate that supply and demand shocks have permanent effects upon agricultural output and prices. We estimate that the agricultural output growth in Brazil is attributed in large proportion to yield increases. We argue that integration to international markets was essential to assure the profitability of continuous use of new technology that led to yield improvements. This is why exchange rate plays a key role in explaining the performance of the Brazilian agriculture. We anticipate that, if investments in science and technology are maintained and international integration expanded, Brazil will be able to substantially increase its supply of agricultural products both domestically and in foreign markets.

description: Moral hazard is widely reported as a problem in credit and insurance markets, mainly arising from information asymmetry. Although theorists have attempted to explain the success of Joint Liability Lending (JLL) schemes in mitigating moral hazard, empirical studies are rare. This paper investigates the determinants of moral hazard among JLL schemes from Malawi, using group level data from 99 farm and non-farm credit groups. Results reveal that peer selection, peer monitoring, peer pressure, dynamic incentives and variables capturing the extent of matching problems explain most of the variation in the incidence of moral hazard among credit groups. The implications are that Joint Liability Lending institutions will continue to rely on social cohesion and dynamic incentives as a means to enhancing their performance which has a direct implication on their outreach, impact and sustainability.

description: Lowland development efforts in West Africa have a mixed record. The paper posits that this is due to the neglect of: (1) market opportunity as driving force for lowland use; and (2) the wider context within which lowlands are used as important modifier. The paper applies a regression-based decomposition framework to analyze the factors driving and modifying lowland use in West Africa. It uses community-level data from 1014 geo-referenced lowland units around four urban centers along an agro-ecological gradient in Cote d'Ivoire and Mali. Tobit models are used to explain the extent of lowland non-use (seasonal fallow), its diversity (in terms of rice and other crop cultivation) and its land use intensity (double cropping). Results highlight that proximity to urban markets is positively associated with the extent, diversity and intensity of lowland use. Lowland use is also associated with the agro-ecological gradient, lowland development and migrants. A common thread linking these variables is that they modify resource scarcity and therefore lowland use incentives. Market access is therefore a necessary but not sufficient condition for the intensification and diversification of lowland use.

description: Using 281 fb^-1 of data from the Belle experiment recorded at or near the Upsilon(4S) resonance, we have measured the rates of the ``wrong-sign'' decays D0 -> K+ pi- pi0 and D0 -> K+ pi- pi+ pi- relative to those of the Cabibbo-favored decays D0 -> K- pi+ pi0 and D0 -> K- pi+ pi+ pi-. These wrong-sign decays proceed via a doubly Cabibbo-suppressed amplitude or via D0-D0bar mixing; the latter has not yet been observed. We obtain R_WS(Kpipi0)=[0.229 +/-0.017(stat.) +0.013-0.009(sys.)]% and R_WS(K3pi)=[0.320 +/-0.019(stat.) +0.018-0.013(sys.)]%. The CP asymmetries are measured to be -0.006 +/- 0.053 and -0.018 +/- 0.044 for the K+ pi- pi0 and K+ pi- pi+ pi- final states, respectively.

Dimensions of power : older women’s experiences with depression and electroconvulsive therapy
Creators: name: Orr, Alison L.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This research explored how women over the age of 65 have wholistically experienced depression and receiving electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) as a treatment for their depression. Women's voices were gathered through in-depth, face-to-face, semi-structured interviews with six participants between the ages of 71 and 89 who had been diagnosed with depression and received ECT. The qualitative analysis revealed that these women's experiences could be described as a four-part journey. The four stages of their experiences were: becoming depressed, conditions of getting help, the treatment, and the hope for recovery. Across each of these stages of the women's experiences, the theme of power and its many dimensions played a predominant role. Relevant dimensions of power identified were: the power of the depression, lack of power due to multiple losses, structural inequities, and gender socialization, and the power held by healthcare professionals in the lives of these women. The findings from this study hold specific implications for the process of informed consent, and the necessity of including women's voices and alternative models of understanding in healthcare policy-making, program development and service delivery. Recommendations for change come by way of feminist theory and empowerment-oriented social work practice with older adult women.

description: Most empirical studies of the Resource Curse Hypothesis (RCH) find evidence of a strong negative relationship between a country's natural resource abundance and economic growth. We question the reliability of these findings in relation to the definitions and measures used for both resource intensity and economic growth, and the econometric testing which we consider deficient. We use an alternative, per capita resource rents measure of resource intensity that excludes renewable resources and avoids the circularity and bias of other output-related measures. Using Cluster Analysis, we compare the grouping of countries on the basis of three resource intensity definitions; viz. Sachs and Warner's (1995), Gylfason and Zoega's (2002) and our per capita rents, and find substantial differences in the resulting clustering. We then re-test the RCH econometrically using panel data and the corresponding econometric technique, as opposed to a single period-average data cross-sectional model. We test the sensitivity of our results by estimating the same model with the three different definitions of resource intensity. Previous Sach's and Warner's findings still hold when using their measure of resource intensity in our different modeling framework, while those of Gylfason and Zoega do not. Using our per capita rents measure of resource-intensity we find evidence of a positive relationship between natural resource abundance and economic growth. We conclude that the results of the test for the RCH are dependent on both the definition of resource-intensity and whether the growth is modeled with cross-sectional or panel data.
Forming supermassive black holes by accreting dark and baryon matter

description: Given a large-scale mixture of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) particles and baryon matter distributed in the early Universe, we advance here a two-phase accretion scenario for forming supermassive black holes (SMBHs) with masses around $\sim 10^9 M_{\odot}$ at high redshifts $z (\gsim 6)$. The first phase is conceived to involve a rapid quasi-spherical and quasi-steady Bondi accretion of mainly SIDM particles embedded with baryon matter onto seed black holes (BHs) created at redshifts $z\lsim 30$ by the first generation of massive Population III stars; this earlier phase rapidly gives birth to significantly enlarged seed BH masses of $M_{\hbox{\tiny BH},t_1}\backsimeq 1.4\times 10^6\ M_\odot σ_0/(1\hbox{cm}^2\hbox{g}^{-1})(C_s/30\hbox{km s}^{-1})^4$ during $z\sim 20-15$, where $σ_0$ is the cross section per unit mass of SIDM particles and $C_s$ is the velocity dispersion in the SIDM halo referred to as an effective "sound speed". The second phase of BH mass growth is envisaged to proceed primarily via baryon accretion, eventually leading to SMBH masses of $M_{\hbox{\tiny BH}}\sim 10^9 M_\odot$; such SMBHs may form either by $z\sim 6$ for a sustained accretion at the Eddington limit or later at lower $z$ for sub-Eddington mean accretion rates. We intend to account for the reported detections of a few SMBHs at early epochs, e.g., SDSS 1148+5251 and so forth, without necessarily resorting to either super-Eddington baryon accretion or very frequent BH merging processes. Only extremely massive dark SIDM halos associated with rare peaks of density fluctuations in the early Universe may harbour such early SMBHs or quasars. Observational consequences are discussed.

description: Generalized chaotic synchronization regime is observed in the unidirectionally coupled one-dimensional Ginzburg-Landau equations. The mechanism resulting in the generalized synchronization regime arising in the coupled spatially extended chaotic systems demonstrating spatiotemporal chaotic oscillations has been described. The cause of the generalized synchronization occurrence is studied with the help of the modified Ginzburg-Landau equation with additional dissipation.
