description: The primary purpose of this research is to explore the role of advocacy Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in post-war Lebanon. Specifically, it focuses on the contributions of advocacy NGOs to the process of sustainable human development. Sustainable human development is defined in this research as development that provides for economic growth and equitable distribution of the benefits of growth; a democratic political system that respects human rights, freedom, gender equity and the rights of other marginalized segments of the population; a functioning healthy civil society; and finally, a sustainable environment. This research shows that the contributions of advocacy NGOs in Lebanon continue to be marginal and limited, due to internal organizational challenges, namely, lack of funds, lack of commitment and lack of professional human resources. A patriarchal culture and a sectarian political system and culture were shown as basic challenges to their work and contributions. Regional politics and interference were shown to be equally important negatively contributing factors. This research also demonstrates that advocacy NGOs in Lebanon are contributing mainly to the democratization process of the political system. Furthermore, this research shows that the role and dynamics of advocacy NGOs in developing countries differ significantly from those in developed countries, which makes it imperative for advocacy NGOs in Lebanon to redefine their advocacy role or expand it.

Does the shift to markets impose greater hardship on women and minorities? Three essays on gender and ethnicity in Bulgarian labor markets

description: This dissertation examines changes in three indicators of ethnic and gender labor market inequality in the transition from central planning to a mixed-market economy in Bulgaria. A focus on changes in gender and ethnic wage gaps, occupational segregation by sex and ethnicity, and married women's labor force participation reveals the differential effects of major economic change on gender and ethnic groups. Changes in wage gaps are measured by the Juhn, Murphy, and Pierce (1991) decomposition. Changes in occupational segregation are measured by the L index (Spriggs and Williams, 1996), and a neoclassical model of labor supply is used to examine labor force participation changes. Women's labor market status improved in the early transition as indicated by a decline in the gender wage gap, and in the level of occupational segregation. Women attained as many years of schooling as men, but obtained more university education that experienced greater returns in the transition. Additionally, women worked in industries where nominal income and employment were growing. This trend may not, however, continue. Men are responding to an increased market demand for higher and more general education, and are moving from declining into growing sectors. Further, men have greater access to the growing private sector. Changes in the labor market status of ethnic Turks in Bulgaria were both positive and negative. Ethnic Turks experienced increasing wage differentials and, although the level of occupational segregation by ethnicity declined, it remained high. Married female ethnic Turks worked more, especially women over fifty. The ethnic Turks were less likely to have obtained general and university education, leading to less flexibility as they adapt to the market economy. Further, the ethnic Turks are not responding to changes in industrial demand as quickly as their ethnic Bulgarian counterparts. For various reasons, the ethnic Turks experience less labor market mobility. This may be due to the drastic decline in demand, the collapsed housing market, or rural networks on which they rely for basic life necessities.

The Communication Plan draws a roadmap to ensure the effective communication of the ECF4CLIM project and its results to the relevant stakeholders and to the general public, and to foster its sustainability beyond the runtime of the project.The deliverable introduces a separate section for the methodology explaining the main methods and tools planned to be used for the communication process.  The value of the ECF4CLIM project is discussed in order to harmonise the whole communication process and to contribute to a good coordination of the partnership during the communication activities. The aim of ECF4CLIM project is to co-design and test a European Competence Framework (ECF) for climate change and sustainable development that is transdisciplinary and will enable and empower the citizens to act towards the necessary transition towards sustainability. For this goal, a broad engagement of students, teachers, parents and the wider educational community is planned, contributing to climate action and fostering transformational change towards sustainable development in the spirit of ‘citizen science’. The target groups are defined together with recommendations for approaching them. The key messages of the ECF4CLIM project are defined and discussed in a separate section in order to be adequately used considering the spectrum of audiences.   The section “Strategic channels and actions” describes a few project-wide actions that can make a difference in the communication of this project. The section “Action Plan Schedule” is devoted to presenting the planning of the communication activities of the project. Finally, a section dedicated to the “Monitoring” of the communication activities is included. It contains details on the performance measurement, impact, and reporting.

description: Over the last several years there has been a growing interest in applying stable distributions to model real data. But their application had been difficult because all of the computations have to be done numerically. With the recent availability of more powerful computers, many different procedures have been developed to estimate the stable parameters, including the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). In this work, we compare by simulation the different estimation procedures. We also develop a computer program to find MLE estimators for the regression coefficients when the errors are stably distributed, we discuss the properties of these estimators and test them through simulation.

description: I investigate whether the popular Krusell and Smith algorithm used to solve heterogeneous-agent economies with aggregate uncertainty and in- complete markets is likely to be subject to multiple self-fullling equilibria. In a benchmark economy, the parameters representing the equilibrium ag- gregate law of motion are randomly perturbed 500 times, and are used as the new initial guess to compute the equilibrium with this algorithm. In a sequence of cases, diering only in the magnitude of the perturbations, I do not nd evidence of multiple self-fullling equilibria. The economic reason behind the result lies in a self-correcting mechanism present in the algorithm: compared to the equilibrium law of motion, a candidate one implying a higher (lower) expected future capital reduces (increases) the equilibrium interest rates, increasing (reducing) the savings of the wealth- rich agents only. These, on the other hand, account for a small fraction of the population and cannot compensate for the opposite change triggered by the wealth-poor agents, who enjoy higher (lower) future wages and increase (reduce) their current consumption. Quantitatively, the change in behavior of the wealth-rich agents has a negligible impact on the de- termination of the change in the aggregate savings, inducing stability in the algorithm as a by-product.

Long-range attraction between particles in dusty plasma and partial surface tension of dusty phase boundary

description: Effective potential of a charged dusty particle moving in homogeneous plasma has a negative part that provides attraction between similarly charged dusty particles. A depth of this potential well is great enough to ensure both stability of crystal structure of dusty plasma and sizable value of surface tension of a boundary surface of dusty region. The latter depends on the orientation of the surface relative to the counter-ion flow, namely, it is maximal and positive for the surface normal to the flow and minimal and negative for the surface along the flow. For the most cases of dusty plasma in a gas discharge, a value of the first of them is more than sufficient to ensure stability of lenticular dusty phase void oriented across the counter-ion flow.

Framing peace: Examining the impact of social movement activity upon public opinion
Creators: name: Levin, David Joshua
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study investigates the mechanisms through which social movement organizations (SMOs) are able to impact mass public opinion through framing processes. Past research has failed to find significant impact of SMOs upon current attitudes of mass publics. This failure is due to where research has looked, as well as the methods used to measure impact. Past research has not confined itself to SMO impact upon issues once they have achieved high visibility. Previous studies have also been methodologically flawed. Prior studies generally measure SMO behavior as protest behavior. However, much SMO activity is not protest, but various informational and persuasive activities of a more pedestrian manner. In addition, prior studies confine themselves to either very short periods of time or do not account for time series autocorrelation, or both. This research demonstrates the efficacy of a "Conditional Framing Effects" model of SMO behavior and public opinion. The model predicts that (1) SMOs utilize a repertoire of framing tactics to compete for placing master frames in news media coverage; (2) news media organizations select press releases for coverage based on the professionalism, subject content, and events associated with the release; (3) it is the amount of news media coverage of the SMO that has the proximate impact upon public opinion; (4) SMO coverage exerts short term effects upon public opinion; and (5) the effect is primarily upon the attitude consistency exhibited by mass publics, not attitude valence. Findings from four Israeli SMOs' press releases and monthly indicators of Israeli public opinion over a five-year period concerning the Arab-Israeli peace process indicate that (1) SMOs utilize tactical and master frames to present their views; (2) the dynamics of news media needs and SMOs' abilities to meet these needs through press releases and events substantially limit the variation in SMO tactical frames that mass publics are actually exposed to; and (3) SMOs exert short term influence on mass public opinion through both consistency and valence shifts. The findings are discussed in relation to the future of the Arab Israeli peace process and future research into the dynamics of SMO activity and public opinion.

description: We consider the problem of conducting estimation and inference on the parameters of univariate heteroskedastic fractionally integrated time series models. We rst extend existing results in the literature, developed for conditional sum-ofsquares estimators in the context of parametric fractional time series models driven by conditionally homoskedastic shocks, to allow for conditional and unconditional heteroskedasticity both of a quite general and unknown form. Global consistency and asymptotic normality are shown to still obtain; however, the covariance matrix of the limiting distribution of the estimator now depends on nuisance parameters derived both from the weak dependence and heteroskedasticity present in the shocks. We then investigate classical methods of inference based on the Wald, likelihood ratio and Lagrange multiplier tests for linear hypotheses on either or both of the long and short memory parameters of the model. The limiting null distributions of these test statistics are shown to be non-pivotal under heteroskedasticity, while that of a robustWald statistic (based around a sandwich estimator of the variance) is pivotal. We show that wild bootstrap implementations of the tests deliver asymptotically pivotal inference under the null. We demonstrate the consistency and asymptotic normality of the bootstrap estimators, and further establish the global consistency of the asymptotic and bootstrap tests under xed alternatives. Monte Carlo simulations highlight signicant improvements in nite sample behaviour using the bootstrap in both heteroskedastic and homoskedastic environments. Our theoretical developments and Monte Carlo simulations include two bootstrap algorithms which are based on model estimates obtained either under the null hypothesis or unrestrictedly. Our simulation results suggest that the former is preferable to the latter, displaying superior size control yet largely comparable power.

description: We propose using ultracold fermionic atoms trapped in a periodically shaken optical lattice as a quantum simulator of the t-J Hamiltonian, which describes the dynamics in doped antiferromagnets and is thought to be relevant to the problem of high-temperature superconductivity in the cuprates. We show analytically that the effective Hamiltonian describing this system for off-resonant driving is the t-J model with additional pair hopping terms, whose parameters can all be controlled by the drive. We then demonstrate numerically using tensor network methods for a 1D lattice that a slow modification of the driving strength allows near-adiabatic transfer of the system from the ground state of the underlying Hubbard model to the ground state of the effective t-J Hamiltonian. Finally, we report exact diagonalization calculations illustrating the control achievable on the dynamics of spin-singlet pairs in 2D lattices utilising this technique with current cold-atom quantum-simulation technology. These results open new routes to explore the interplay between density and spin in strongly-correlated fermionic systems through their out-of-equilibrium dynamics.

Studies of reflectivity gradients are necessary to understand the factors affecting wind profiler measurements. Wind profiling radars reflect radio waves from atmospheric variations in the lower troposphere and are used to measure winds. The change in these reflectivities over a given range is referred to as the reflectivity gradient. This research examined the vertical structure and variability of the reflectivity gradients, using data collected from 915-MHz wind profilers in Galápagos (0.90° S, 89.57° W) and Tarawa (1.36° N, 172.92° E). Past studies have found inconsistencies in velocity profiles, due to incorrect height assignments caused by invalid assumptions about the atmospheric reflectivity gradient. Analysis of monthly mean reflectivity gradients indicated cycles of variability at the two sites. In Tarawa, there were periods of an annual cycle as well as an El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Galápagos data indicated hints of an annual cycle. Overall, the vertical structure of the reflectivity gradient appeared the same in both sites, although Galápagos had insufficient data for a detailed analysis. The atmospheric reflectivity gradient was fairly constant above 1.5 km but was large and negative below 1.5 km. There were significant differences in the mean reflectivity gradients beyond 1.5 km range in some of the meteorological season and ENSO phases. A reasonable assumption for the reflectivity gradient beyond 1.5 km is approximately -1.85 dB km^-1. The results of this research further the understanding of the structure of the reflectivity gradient and the different cycles of variability in the tropical Pacific.

In numerical cloud models, drop populations are represented with either a bulk or an explicit representation of cloud physics. Bulk representation consists of drops characterized by the same size and pH. Explicit representation consists of drop of carrying size and pH. The manner in which cloud drops are represented in numerical models affects the aqueous phase production of sulfate. This effect is due to the dependence of sulfate production on pH, which varies with drop size. Because sulfur chemistry had been show to be affected by drop representation, this study investigated the effect of cloud drop population representation on cloud chemistry, which is the combination of aqueous chemistry and the modification of gas chemistry. In this study we coupled a cloud parcel model with an aqueous/gas-phase chemistry model to examine the effects of bulk and explicit drop representation on the concentration of several atmospheric trace gases. The studied chemical species were formaldehyde (CH₂O), formic acid (HCOOH), ozone (O₃), hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), and sulfate (SO₂²⁻). HCOOH, CH₂O, O₃ and H₂O₂ showed large chemical concentration differences depending on the drop representation. For example, HCOOH total concentration differed by 76.8% in the highly affected polluted case after just twenty-two minutes. SO₂ was the only chemical species not largely affected by the drop representation. It was also noted that differences were found between the explicit cases. For example, this study examined HCOOH for a moderately polluted and highly polluted case and found significant differences in gas concentrations for these two explicitly represented cases.

description: We have measured the crystalline electric field (CEF) excitations of the CeMIn5 (M = Co, Rh, Ir) series of heavy fermion superconductors by means of inelastic neutron scattering. Fits to a CEF model reproduce the inelastic neutron scattering spectra and the high temperature magnetic susceptibility. The CEF parameters, energy level splittings, and wavefunctions are tabulated for each member of the CeMIn5 series and compared to each other as well as to the results of previous measurements. Our results indicate that the CEF level splitting in all three materials is similar, and can be thought of as being derived from the cubic parent compound CeIn3 in which an excited state quartet at ~12 meV is split into two doublets by the lower symmetry of the tetragonal environment of the CeMIn5 materials. In each case, the CEF excitations are observed as broad lines in the inelastic neutron scattering spectrum. We attribute this broadening to Kondo hybridization of the localized f moments with the conduction electrons. The evolution of the superconducting transition temperatures in the different members of CeMIn5 can then be understood as a direct consequence of the strength of this hybridization. Due to the importance of Kondo spin fluctuations in these materials, we also present calculations within the non-crossing approximation (NCA) to the Anderson impurity model including the effect of CEF level splitting for the inelastic neutron scattering spectra and the magnetic susceptibility.

description: Here, asymmetric phase-covariant quantum cloning machines are defined and trade-off between qualities of their outputs and its impact on entanglement properties of the outputs are studies. In addition, optimal families among these cloners are introduced and also their entanglement properties are investigated. An explicit proof of optimality is presented for the case of qubits, which is based on the no-signaling condition. Our optimality proof can also be used to derive an upper bound on trade-off relations for a more general class of optimal cloners which clone states on a specific orbit of the Bloch sphere. It is shown that the optimal cloners of the equatorial states, as in the case of symmetric phase-covariant cloning, give rise to two separable clones, and in this sense these states are unique. For these cloners it is shown that total output is of GHZ-type.

description: This study investigates the mechanisms through which social movement organizations (SMOs) are able to impact mass public opinion through framing processes. Past research has failed to find significant impact of SMOs upon current attitudes of mass publics. This failure is due to where research has looked, as well as the methods used to measure impact. Past research has not confined itself to SMO impact upon issues once they have achieved high visibility. Previous studies have also been methodologically flawed. Prior studies generally measure SMO behavior as protest behavior. However, much SMO activity is not protest, but various informational and persuasive activities of a more pedestrian manner. In addition, prior studies confine themselves to either very short periods of time or do not account for time series autocorrelation, or both. This research demonstrates the efficacy of a "Conditional Framing Effects" model of SMO behavior and public opinion. The model predicts that (1) SMOs utilize a repertoire of framing tactics to compete for placing master frames in news media coverage; (2) news media organizations select press releases for coverage based on the professionalism, subject content, and events associated with the release; (3) it is the amount of news media coverage of the SMO that has the proximate impact upon public opinion; (4) SMO coverage exerts short term effects upon public opinion; and (5) the effect is primarily upon the attitude consistency exhibited by mass publics, not attitude valence. Findings from four Israeli SMOs' press releases and monthly indicators of Israeli public opinion over a five-year period concerning the Arab-Israeli peace process indicate that (1) SMOs utilize tactical and master frames to present their views; (2) the dynamics of news media needs and SMOs' abilities to meet these needs through press releases and events substantially limit the variation in SMO tactical frames that mass publics are actually exposed to; and (3) SMOs exert short term influence on mass public opinion through both consistency and valence shifts. The findings are discussed in relation to the future of the Arab Israeli peace process and future research into the dynamics of SMO activity and public opinion.
Do Fermions and Bosons Produce the Same Gravitational Field?

description: We examine some cosmological consequences of gravity coupling with different strength to fermions and bosons. We show that this leads to a different perturbation of the standard picture of primordial nucleosynthesis than the addition of extra neutrino types or overall scaling of the value of G. Observed abundances of deuterium and helium-4 place bounds on the ratio of the bosonic gravitational constant (G_B) to the fermionic gravitational constant (G_F) of 0.45 < G_B/G_F < 0.92 at 1-sigma, and 0.33 < G_B/G_F < 1.10 at 2-sigma. A value of G_B < G_F can reconcile the current "tension" between the abundances of deuterium and helium-4 predicted by primordial nucleosynthesis. We comment briefly on other cosmological effects.

description: The main objective of this article is to discuss the diversity of European Union countries in terms of their production of renewable energy from agriculture and forestry. The analysis includes 28 EU countries. Figures come from 2013-2015. Diversification of European Union members was conducted using cluster analysis. The following diagnostic features were used for the analysis: production of renewable energy from agriculture, share of agriculture in production of renewable energy, change in the production of renewable energy from agriculture in 2013-2015, production of renewable energy from forestry, share of forestry in production of renewable energy, change in the production of renewable energy from forestry in 2013-2015. As a result of the cluster analysis examined regions were divided into five groups.

description: We propose a general method to construct new triangulated categories, relative stable categories, as additive quotients of a given one. This construction enhances results of Beligiannis, particularly in the tensor-triangular setting. We prove a birationality result showing that the original category and its relative stable quotient are equivalent on some open piece of their spectrum.

description: The differences of the level of labour productivity in EU countries puts at a disadvantage countries adopted into the EU after 2004 (EU-13). A derived analytical approach to this problem has been illustrated empirically. The labour productivity analysed is presented as gross value added per person employed. The Economic Accounts for Agriculture and the Agricultural Labour Input were used for the study. The research shows that the large differences of labour productivity between groups of countries is still maintained. However, it is gradually decreasing. A negative impact of direct payments on this process was also found. / Synopsis. Różnice w poziomie wydajności pracy w rolnictwie państw UE stawiają w gorszej sytuacji państwa przyjęte do UE po 2004 roku (UE-13). Wyprowadzone ujęcie analityczne tego problemu zostało zilustrowane empirycznie. Analizowaną wydajność pracy przedstawiono jako wartość dodaną brutto na jednego pełnozatrudnionego. Do badania wykorzystano Rachunki Ekonomiczne dla Rolnictwa oraz Statystykę Rolniczych Nakładów Pracy. Z badań wynika, iż duże różnice w wydajności pracy między grupami państw nadal się utrzymują, jednakże następuje stopniowe ich zmniejszenie. Stwierdzono również negatywny wpływ dopłat bezpośrednich na ten proces.
