description: In this fourth Babcock Institute country study, Ireland's dairy industry was selected because (a) it reveals advantages and challenges associated with a pasture-based production system that is unique in the EU, (b) the country's dairy industry provides an excellent case study of the effects of milk production quotas, (c) the country's dairy sector faces challenges because of its dependence on exports, and (d) Ireland's dairy processors have made innovative use of joint ventures and foreign direct investment. The study describes different facets of Ireland's dairy industry, discusses key elements of the competitive environment, and provides implications for the U.S. and world dairy industries.

description: Permutation actions of simple currents on the primaries of a Rational Conformal Field Theory are considered in the framework of admissible weighted permutation actions. The solution of admissibility conditions is presented for cyclic quadratic groups: an irreducible WPA corresponds to each subgroup of the quadratic group. As a consequence, the primaries of a RCFT with an order n integral or half-integral spin simple current may be arranged into multiplets of length k^2 (where k is a divisor of n) or 3k^2 if the spin of the simple current is half-integral and k is odd.

description: PURPOSE: In drug studies, research designs requiring no prior exposure to certain drug classes may restrict important populations. Since abuse-deterrent formulations (ADF) of opioids are routinely prescribed after other opioids, choice of study design, identification of appropriate comparators, and addressing confounding by "indication" are important considerations in ADF post-marketing studies.
METHODS: In a retrospective cohort study using claims data (2006-2018) from a North Carolina private insurer [NC claims] and Merative MarketScan [MarketScan], we identified patients (18-64 years old) initiating ADF or non-ADF extended-release/long-acting (ER/LA) opioids. We compared patient characteristics and described opioid treatment history between treatment groups, classifying patients as traditional (no opioid claims during prior six-month washout period) or prevalent new users.
RESULTS: We identified 8415 (NC claims) and 147 978 (MarketScan) ADF, and 10 114 (NC claims) and 232 028 (MarketScan) non-ADF ER/LA opioid initiators. Most had prior opioid exposure (ranging 64%-74%), and key clinical differences included higher prevalence of recent acute or chronic pain and surgery among patients initiating ADFs compared to non-ADF ER/LA initiators. Concurrent immediate-release opioid prescriptions at initiation were more common in prevalent new users than traditional new users.
CONCLUSIONS: Careful consideration of the study design, comparator choice, and confounding by "indication" is crucial when examining ADF opioid use-related outcomes.

description:  El presente trabajo estudia la representación que hace el oidor sevillano Antonio de Morga de dos gustos de los habitantes del archipiélago asiático en los Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas (México, 1609). Analiza cómo se manifiesta la actitud de Morga hacia los filipinos a través de su presentación de las costumbres culinaria e higiénica de aquellos. Se arguye que, a pesar de su reconocida imparcialidad, la imagen filipina de Morga revela un sistema de conceptos destinados a esquematizar cualquier mundo desconocido y no cristiano.
description: This paper studies the Sevillian oidor Antonio de Morga’s representation of two customs of the inhabitants of the Asian archipelago in the Sucesos de las Islas Fili-pinas (Mexico, 1609). It analyses how Morga’s attitude towards the Filipinos is mani-fested through his presentation of their culinary and hygienic customs. It argues that, despite his acknowledged impartiality, Morga’s image of the Filipinos reveals a system of concepts intended to schematize any unknown and non-Christian world.

description: In the far future long after star formation has ceased the universe will be populated by sparse degenerate remnants, mostly white dwarfs, though their ultimate fate is an open question. These white dwarfs will cool and freeze solid into black dwarfs while pycnonuclear fusion will slowly process their composition to iron-56. However, due to the declining electron fraction the Chandrasekhar limit of these stars will be decreasing and will eventually be below that of the most massive black dwarfs. As such, isolated dwarf stars with masses greater than $\sim 1.2 M_\odot$ will collapse in the far future due to the slow accumulation of iron-56 in their cores. If proton decay does not occur then this is the ultimate fate of about $10^{21}$ stars, approximately one percent of all stars in the observable universe. We present calculations of the internal structure of black dwarfs with iron cores as a model for progenitors. From pycnonuclear fusion rates we estimate their lifetime and thus delay time to be $10^{1100}$ years. We speculate that high mass black dwarf supernovae resemble accretion induced collapse of O/Ne/Mg white dwarfs while later low mass transients will be similar to stripped-envelope core-collapse supernova, and may be the last interesting astrophysical transients to occur prior to heat death.

Spain’s Long Shadow: The Black Legend, Off-Whiteness, and Anglo-American Empire: A retrospective
Creators: name: DeGuzmán, María
Publisher: name: SAGE Publications
Year: 2024

description: Located at the intersection of American Studies, LatinX Studies, and Romance Studies, the scholarly book Spain’s Long Shadow: The Black Legend, Off-Whiteness, and Anglo-American Empire turns a “critical ethnic studies” lens on Anglo-American culture. It argues that constructions of Anglo-American identity as “American” have depended on figures of Spain. These figurations have been crucial to the dominant Anglo fictions of “American” exceptionalism, revolution, and manifest destiny; to Anglo-America’s articulation of its empire as an anti-empire; and to its fears of racial contamination and hybridity. Spain’s Long Shadow unfolds the story of one imperialist shadowing another. Now, nearly two decades since its publication, what insights and which questions linger, especially as we engage with what Claudia Milian has termed “a globally entangled LatinX Studies”? Pushing off from Spain’s Long Shadow’s concluding thoughts, this essay responds to that question in relation to the more than 3 million-plus people of a heterogeneous LatinX diaspora living in Spain today. This estimate constitutes approximately 6.4% of Spain’s current population, which is also Europe’s largest concentration of LatinXs. This undertaking is conceptualized as a retrospective—a thinking piece that looks at the past, the present time, and the speculative future to postulate and assess global LatinX processes. The piece fleshes out and updates Spain’s Long Shadow’s invitation to develop new perspectives, frameworks, and scholarship on the transatlantic transcultural impetus of LatinX cultural production from South-North and West-East axes of orientation.
Modeling the 10 September 2017 solar energetic particle event using the iPATH model

description: On September 10 2017, a fast coronal mass ejection (CME) erupted from the active region (AR) 12673, leading to a ground level enhancement (GLE) event at Earth. Using the 2D improved Particle Acceleration and Transport in the Heliosphere (iPATH) model, we model the large solar energetic particle (SEP) event of 10 September 2017 observed at Earth, Mars and STEREO-A. Based on observational evidence,we assume that the CME-driven shock experienced a large lateral expansion shortly after the eruption, which is modelled by a double Gaussian velocity profile in this simulation. We use the in-situ shock arrival times and the observed CME speeds at multiple spacecraft near Earth and Mars as constraints to adjust the input model parameters. The modelled time intensity profiles and fluence for energetic protons are then compared with observations. Reasonable agreements with observations at Mars and STEREO-A are found. The simulated results at Earth differ from observations of GOES-15. Instead, the simulated results at a heliocentric longitude 20 degree west to Earth fit reasonably well with the GOES observation. This can be explained if the pre-event solar wind magnetic field at Earth is not described by a nominal Parker field. Our results suggest that a large lateral expansion of the CME-driven shock and a distorted interplanetary magnetic field due to previous events can be important in understanding this GLE event.

 Remarks
 Cynopterus horsfieldii was also a common pteropodid species in the survey area but less abundant than C. brachyotis and C. minutus. Abundance was higher in coffee plantations than in forest. It can be distinguished from other Cynopterus bats by the peg-like cusp on the 3rd and 4th lower cheek teeth.

How does the nature and duration of teaching experience of a clinical nursing instructor affect the learning outcomes of nursing students enrolled in a nursing program?
Creators: name: Hannesson, Teresa Elayne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The role of clinical teachers' experience in clinical teaching in nursing and its influence on student learning outcomes has not been widely explored within the nursing literature. Yet this topic is critical in order to provide optimal nursing education that yields safe and competent nurse practitioners. In this research, a qualitative ethnographic design was used to explore the perceptions of novice, experienced, and administrator clinical teachers. Data was collected by the use of focus groups for the novice and experienced groups and personal interviews for the administrator group. Each group consisted of four participants each. The participants were recruited from Schools of Nursing in Saskatchewan and British Columbia. Analysis of the data revealed there are distinct differences between the two groups of clinical instructors. The participants suggested that the experienced instructor is more confident and competent in her/his role, which translates to specific, consistent, and positive successes and outcomes for the students. However, although novices were generally portrayed as anxious, lacking confidence and lacking teaching knowledge, the participants indicated that these instructors contribute positively to student education due to their enthusiasm, energy, recent clinical experience, and current knowledge. They proposed that although the experienced instructor is better equipped with more knowledge, skills and personal qualities, both instructors have attributes that do contribute to the education of nursing students. These findings have implications for nursing education and research. This research has provided insights into how administrators can support both novice and experienced clinical instructors in their practice. Furthermore, this research has revealed how novice and experienced instructors can benefit from the unique contributions each has to make to the other.

From Poverty to Progress: A Comparative Analysis of Mongolia with PEER Countries
Creators: name: Wu, Yude
Publisher: name: Eliwise Academy
Year: 2024

description: Mongolia, grappling with significant socio-economic challenges, faces pressing issues of inequality and poverty, as evidenced by a high Gini coefficient and the highest poverty rate among the top 20 largest Asian countries. Despite government efforts, Mongolia's poverty rate experienced only a slight reduction from 29.6 percent in 2016 to 27.8 percent in 2020. PEER countries, such as South Africa, Botswana, Kazakhstan, and Peru, share characteristics with Mongolia, including reliance on the mining industry and classification as lower middle-income countries. Successful transitions of these countries to upper middle-income status between 1994 and the 2010s provide valuable insights. Drawing on secondary analyses of existing research and PEER country profiles, the study evaluates past policies, identifies gaps in current approaches, and proposes recommendations to combat poverty sustainably. The hypothesis includes a reliance on the mining industry and a transition from lower to upper middle-income status. Policies from these countries, such as the GEAR policy in South Africa and economic diversification in Botswana, offer insights into Mongolia's development. This essay aims to illuminate the multidimensional nature of underdevelopment in Mongolia through a secondary analysis of existing research and PEER country profiles, evaluating past policies, identifying gaps in current approaches, and providing recommendations for sustainable progress. Drawing inspiration from PEER countries, Mongolia can implement policies such as economic diversification to reduce vulnerability and create stable job opportunities. Emphasis on infrastructure, human capital, and strategic partnerships for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) aligns with successful strategies implemented by PEER countries, providing a roadmap for Mongolia's development objectives.

description: The phenomenon of Many-Body Stark Localization of bosons in tilted optical lattice is studied. Despite the fact that no disorder is necessary for Stark localization to occur, it is very similar to well known many body localization (MBL) in sufficiently strong disorder. Not only the mean gap ratio reaches poissonian value as characteristic for localized situations but also the eigenstates reveal multifractal character as in standard MBL. Stark localization enables a coexistence of spacially separated thermal and localized phases in the harmonic trap similarly to fermions. Stark localization may also lead to spectacular trapping of particles in a reversed harmonic field which naively might be considered as an unstable configuration.

description: The dynamic relationships among trade, income and the environment for developed and developing countries are examined using a cointegration analysis. Results suggest that trade and income growth tend to increase environmental quality in developed countries, whereas they have detrimental effects on environmental quality in most developing countries. It is also found that for developed countries, the causal relationship appears to run from trade and income to the environment ─ a change in trade and income growth causes a consequent change in environmental quality, and the opposite relationship holds for developing countries.

description: We show analytically, and numerically that highly-dispersive media can be used to drastically increase lifetimes of high-Q microresonators. In such a resonator, lifetime is limited either by undesired coupling to radiation, or by intrinsic absorption of the constituent materials. The presence of dispersion weakens coupling to the undesired radiation modes and also effectively reduces the material absorption.

Why you shouldn’t serve meat at your next catered event
Creators: name: Ferguson, Zachary
Publisher: name: SAGE Publications
Year: 2024

description: Much has been written about the ethics of eating meat. Far less has been said about the ethics of serving meat. In this paper I argue that we often shouldn’t serve meat, even if it is morally permissible for individuals to purchase and eat meat. Historically, the ethical conversation surrounding meat has been limited to individual diets, meat producers, and government actors. I argue that if we stop the conversation there, then the urgent moral problems associated with industrial animal agriculture will go unsolved. Instead, we must also consider the important but overlooked role that midsized institutions play in addressing major collective problems. I focus mostly on the harms that industrial animal agriculture inflicts on humans, animals, and the environment, but the discussion bears on other global issues like climate change. Institutional choices are an underexplored avenue for driving social change—their power and influence outstrip individual actions, and they can shape behavior in modest ways that promote social goods. Here I highlight the paradigmatic case of catered events and suggest three ways that institutional actors can reduce meat consumption and shape cultural attitudes surrounding meat: large impact decisions, subtly shaping incentives, and consolidating burdens.

description: This paper develops a framework for competitiveness that incorporates path dependency within production regions. Patterns of technological innovation, product development, institutions, and market orientation follow a certain local path. This evolution creates regional economies that emerge with unexpected competitive advantage. The model draws on previous work looking at, among other things, induced innovation. The framework is applied here to the major regional tomato producers in North America. The paper examines the role of various institutions (grower associations, governments, research institutions, and support industry) in influencing the path along which a regional sector evolves.

description: Predictive models that accurately emulate complex scientific processes can achieve exponential speed-ups over numerical simulators or experiments, and at the same time provide surrogates for improving the subsequent analysis. Consequently, there is a recent surge in utilizing modern machine learning (ML) methods, such as deep neural networks, to build data-driven emulators. While the majority of existing efforts has focused on tailoring off-the-shelf ML solutions to better suit the scientific problem at hand, we study an often overlooked, yet important, problem of choosing loss functions to measure the discrepancy between observed data and the predictions from a model. Due to lack of better priors on the expected residual structure, in practice, simple choices such as the mean squared error and the mean absolute error are made. However, the inherent symmetric noise assumption made by these loss functions makes them inappropriate in cases where the data is heterogeneous or when the noise distribution is asymmetric. We propose Learn-by-Calibrating (LbC), a novel deep learning approach based on interval calibration for designing emulators in scientific applications, that are effective even with heterogeneous data and are robust to outliers. Using a large suite of use-cases, we show that LbC provides significant improvements in generalization error over widely-adopted loss function choices, achieves high-quality emulators even in small data regimes and more importantly, recovers the inherent noise structure without any explicit priors.

 Remarks
 Cynopterus minutus (see C. brachyotis account for justification of identification of this species) was common and the second most abundant pteropodid species after C. brachyotis in the study area. Individuals were generally abundant in all surveyed habitats, including coffee plantations, forest edge, and forests, but capture rates of this species in forest understory were higher than rates of other Cynopterus species. The species can be distinguished from other Cynopterus species by smaller body size (Table 2), ear shape, and behaviors (see C. brachyotis account).

description: The demand for a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, including fresh market tomatoes, has increased significantly over the past decade because of greater convenience in use, improved selection, and rising health and diet concerns. As U.S. demand for tomatoes and other horticultural crops strengthens, inexperienced domestic and international suppliers believe they can compete effectively within U.S. markets. Free trade agreements have reduced monetary barriers to trade, but remaining impediments, such as institutional and competitive market constraints, represent significant challenges for southern U.S. growers. This paper discusses points addressed by VanSickle, Eastwood, and Woods concerning trade and horticultural market development.

Reported and Enacted Emergent Literacy Instruction: Understanding Young Students With Extensive Support and Complex Communication Needs, Opportunity to Learn
Creators: name: Erickson, Karen
name: Benson-Goldberg, Sofia
Publisher: name: SAGE Publications
Year: 2024

description: Literacy instruction has an important role in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) because spelling and writing support precise communication. Unfortunately, few students with extensive support needs and complex communication needs (ESN/CCN) develop literacy skills at or above the first grade reading-level. Given that learning to read and write begins with extensive emergent literacy learning opportunities, limited skills may result from insufficient opportunity to learn (OTL) emergent literacy skills. This study examined the instruction provided in early U.S. childhood classrooms to students with ESN/CCN to understand OTL during this critical period. This study used a concurrent embedded mixed methods design integrating a survey of teachers of students with ESN/CCN ( n = 26) with a qualitative multiple case study ( n = 2). Results suggest the time teachers are devoting to instruction is not translating into increased OTL for individual students. Solutions that may increase learning opportunities and implications for future research are discussed.

description: We consider the impact of quantum diffusion on inflationary dynamics during an ultra-slow-roll phase, which can be of particular significance for the formation of primordial black holes. We show, by means of a fully analytical approach, that the power spectrum of comoving curvature perturbations computed in stochastic inflation matches precisely, at the linear level, the result obtained by solving the Mukhanov-Sasaki equation, even in the presence of an ultra-slow-roll phase. We confirm this result numerically in a model in which the inflaton has a polynomial potential and is coupled quadratically to the Ricci scalar. En route, we assess the role that quantum noise plays in the presence of an ultra-slow-roll phase, and clarify the issue of the quantum-to-classical transition in this scenario.

description: Visual object tracking was generally tackled by reasoning independently on fast processing algorithms, accurate online adaptation methods, and fusion of trackers. In this paper, we unify such goals by proposing a novel tracking methodology that takes advantage of other visual trackers, offline and online. A compact student model is trained via the marriage of knowledge distillation and reinforcement learning. The first allows to transfer and compress tracking knowledge of other trackers. The second enables the learning of evaluation measures which are then exploited online. After learning, the student can be ultimately used to build (i) a very fast single-shot tracker, (ii) a tracker with a simple and effective online adaptation mechanism, (iii) a tracker that performs fusion of other trackers. Extensive validation shows that the proposed algorithms compete with real-time state-of-the-art trackers.

 New records
Lampung Province: Kuyung Arang Village, Lombok Village, Sukabanjar Village, Sidodadi Village, Sukaraja Village, Sukaraja Forest, Sumberjaya Village, Sumber Rejo Village, Way Canguk Forest.
 New material
Two individuals were collected as voucher specimens. Lampung Province: Sumberjaya Village, 1♂, 1♀ (MZB 34959, 34960).
 Previous records from Sumatra
 North Sumatra Province: caves near Kotabuluh and Rampah (Whitten et al., 2000); West Sumatra Province: Mininjau (Sibuea and Herdimansyah, 1993); and throughout Sumatra as detailed in van Strien (1996).
 Remarks
 Eonycteris spelaea was common throughout the study area, but more abundant in coffee plantations than in forest. One individual was caught with mist nets above the Way Canguk River. It is easily distinguished from other pteropodids by the lack of a claw on the second finger. Individuals were observed feeding on flowers of kapok (Ceiba pentandra) and coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) in Sumber Rejo Village (JCCH, personal observation). It has been recorded roosting with Rousettus bats in a cave in Way Canguk Forest (MN, unpublished data).

description: Deep Learning (DL) methods have dramatically increased in popularity in recent years. While its initial success was demonstrated in the classification and manipulation of image data, there has been significant growth in the application of DL methods to problems in the biomedical sciences. However, the greater prevalence and complexity of missing data in biomedical datasets present significant challenges for DL methods. Here, we provide a formal treatment of missing data in the context of Variational Autoencoders (VAEs), a popular unsupervised DL architecture commonly used for dimension reduction, imputation, and learning latent representations of complex data. We propose a new VAE architecture, NIMIWAE, that is one of the first to flexibly account for both ignorable and non-ignorable patterns of missingness in input features at training time. Following training, samples can be drawn from the approximate posterior distribution of the missing data can be used for multiple imputation, facilitating downstream analyses on high dimensional incomplete datasets. We demonstrate through statistical simulation that our method outperforms existing approaches for unsupervised learning tasks and imputation accuracy. We conclude with a case study of an EHR dataset pertaining to 12,000 ICU patients containing a large number of diagnostic measurements and clinical outcomes, where many features are only partially observed.
Using Experimental Auctions for Marketing Applications: A Discussion

Subjects: subject: auctions
subject: experimental economics

subject: valuation
subject: willingness-to-pay

description: The present article discusses general issues associated with experimental auctions and their relative advantages and disadvantages over other marketing research techniques. Experimental auctions create an active market environment with feedback where subjects exchange real goods and real money, which is not generally the case with other methods. The article also discusses four experimental design issues associated with experimental auctions: auction mechanism, market feedback and bidder affiliation, demand reduction and wealth effects, and multiple attribute valuation. Each of these experimental design issues, if not properly controlled, have the potential to create serious flaws in marketing recommendations.

description: Single crystals of Nd$_2$O$_3$ were grown and characterized using neutron scattering and thermodynamic measurements. Nd$_2$O$_3$ has long-range antiferromagnetic order below $T_{\rm N}$ = 0.55 K and specific heat measurements have demonstrated that a significant amount of the magnetic entropy is released above $T_{\rm N}$. Inelastic neutron scattering experiments reveal a magnetic mode(s) with little dispersion peaked at $\approx$ 0.37 meV that is of greatest intensity below $T_{\rm N}$ but persists above 2$T_{\rm N}$. This persistence of dynamic correlations is likely related to frustrated interactions associated with the nearly-ideal stacked triangular lattice geometry of $J_{\textrm{eff}}$ = 1/2 spins on Nd$^{3+}$ ions. The magnetization is observed to be strongly anisotropic at all temperatures due to crystal field effects, with easy-plane anisotropy observed. A non-compensated magnetic structure is inferred from the temperature-dependence of the magnetization when a magnetic field of sufficient strength is applied within the basal plane near $T_{\rm N}$, and the evolution of the long-range order is summarized in a temperature-field phase diagram.

description: This series of papers is an excellent opportunity to reacquaint agricultural economists in the Southern region with the exciting field of experimental economics and is indeed opportune in light of the recent awarding of the Nobel Prize in Economics to Vernon Smith, considered by many to be the father of experimental economics. Rather than try to share the limelight with the authors on their far-reaching and comprehensive topics, we plan to take this opportunity to share some of our views of the role of experimental economics in the research laboratory and classroom.

description: Surgical neuromodulation has witnessed significant progress in recent decades. Notably, deep brain stimulation (DBS), delivered precisely within therapeutic targets, has revolutionized the treatment of medication-refractory movement disorders and is now expanding for refractory psychiatric disorders, refractory epilepsy, and post-stroke motor recovery. In parallel, the advent of incisionless treatment with focused ultrasound ablation (FUSA) can offer patients life-changing symptomatic relief. Recent research has underscored the potential to further optimize DBS and FUSA outcomes by conceptualizing the therapeutic targets as critical nodes embedded within specific brain networks instead of strictly anatomical structures. This paradigm shift was facilitated by integrating two imaging modalities used regularly in brain connectomics research: diffusion MRI (dMRI) and functional MRI (fMRI). These advanced imaging techniques have helped optimize the targeting and programming techniques of surgical neuromodulation, all while holding immense promise for investigations into treating other neurological and psychiatric conditions. This review aims to provide a fundamental background of advanced imaging for clinicians and scientists, exploring the synergy between current and future approaches to neuromodulation as they relate to dMRI and fMRI capabilities. Focused research in this area is required to optimize existing, functional neurosurgical treatments while serving to build an investigative infrastructure to unlock novel targets to alleviate the burden of other neurological and psychiatric disorders.
