description: The objective of this project is to develop a tool, called MYWAS (Multi-Year Water Allocation System), as an analytical instrument for assessing the economic efficiency of the Israeli water sector, to quantify the effects of various policies and changes in external factors, and to formulate recommendations with respect to future water management and policy. MYWAS incorporates detailed supply and demand information for the various users and regions of Israel, a constrained optimization model and an interface module that facilities simulations (using the Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) software). The natural water sources within each region in Israel are specified along with the cost of extraction and the sustainable yield. The model incorporates regional demand functions of different types of water use, including households, agriculture, and industry, as well as information on water infrastructure and its operational and capital costs (wastewater treatment plants, desalination plants, storage facilities, and conveyance infrastructure). MYWAS enables the user to impose constraints that reflect her views of social values for water, including the specification of amounts of water to be set-aside for environmental purposes. Water management policies, such as the prices at which water is to be sold to farmers, can also be set if desired; MYWAS takes these inputs and calculates the water flows that maximize the system-wide net benefits received from the available water. These consist of the gross benefits (measured by the areas under the different demand curves) less the costs. We present two applications of the model: (1) a short-run static analysis of water pricing schemes, which was conducted in response to a request by the Israeli Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (IMARD); (2) long-run dynamic runs, conducted to compare an optimal water management path to the results of keeping the current (2014) water prices. Under both scenarios MYWAS suggests a much slower desalination-capacity development than the schedule proposed in the Master Plan of the Israeli Water Authority (IWA, 2011). We also report dissemination activities and discuss the potential of the model to become an analytical tool in decision making processes in the Israeli water and agricultural economies.
Interspecific interactions : investigating the role of grey seals in the harbour seal decline

description: Sympatric species can interact within and between trophic levels, having top-down and bottom-effects on the structure of ecological communities. Over the past 20 years, grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) and harbour seal (Phoca vitulina) populations around the UK have experienced contrasting population trends, with grey seals stable or increasing, and harbour seals suffering regional declines. Grey and harbour seals have the potential to interact through competition and predation, and so adverse interactions with grey seals is a potential driver to these harbour seal declines. I investigated interspecific interactions between seal species through changes in diet derived from prey hard parts analysis of scat samples (Chapter 2), individual variation in foraging behaviour from GPS tracking devices (Chapter 3), and evidence of predation in strandings reports and citizen science observations (Chapter 4). I demonstrated changes to the dietary niche of harbour seals through time, e.g. in the Moray Firth, the summer diet diversified between 1988 (D = 3.98 ± 0.61) and 2010 (7.16 ± 0.53). Over the same period, grey seal diet remained highly specialised on calorific sandeels (>98% biomass). From tracking data, there was no evidence of harbour seals working harder between 2012 and 2016/17; two points in time representing an increase in grey seal density of >50%. However, harbour seals were moderately repeatable in trip metrics and had higher levels of individual specialisation in 2012 which could be interpreted as intraspecific competition being a more dominant force than interspecific competition in this year. Finally, by analysing strandings data and citizen science reports from around Scotland, I demonstrated that grey seal predation of harbour seals is widespread and increased in the strandings data between 2010 and 2021. The highest odds for predation as cause of death were found in the East Scotland Seal Monitoring Unit (SMU), on adult harbour seals, and during their summer breeding season. I also modelled different predation scenarios for the SMU and demonstrated that observed levels of predation could be largely responsible for the observed annual declines of up to 21%. The results of these studies combined provide evidence that interactions with grey seals could have contributed to regional declines, and continued pressures imposed through competition and predation will make it challenging for depleted populations of harbour seals to recover.

description: The production of a quarkonium -- pair in exclusive and diffractive processes in $pp$ collisions at the LHC and FCC energies is investigated. We consider the $J/ΨJ/Ψ$ and $ΥΥ$ production in these processes and present predictions for the transverse momentum and rapidity distributions considering the kinematical ranges expected to be covered by central and forward detectors. Results for the cross sections are also presented. Our results indicate that the double $J/Ψ$ production is dominated by the exclusive process, while the double $Υ$ production receive a large contribution of the diffractive process. The impact of the modelling of the gap survival factor on our predictions is discussed.

description: We report the realization of STM-based lithography with silicon layers removal on the chlorinated Si(100)-2x1 surface at 77 K. In contrast to other STM lithography studies, we were able to remove locally both chlorine and silicon atoms. Most of the etched pits have a lateral size of 10-20 A and a depth of 1-5 A. In the pits in which the STM image with atomic resolution is obtained, the bottom is mainly covered with chlorine. Some pits contain chlorine vacancies. Mechanisms of STM-induced removal of silicon and chlorine atoms on Si(100)-2x1-Cl are discussed and compared with the well-studied case of STM-induced hydrogen desorption on Si(100)-2x1-H. The results open up new possibilities of the three-dimensional local etching with STM lithography.

 Type species: Thubdora acutalis Park, 2018. Type locality: Democratic Repulic of the Congo.
 The genus Thubdora is an Afrotropical genus, comprising more than 30 species in the region. The genus is superficially similar to Torodora Meyrick or Ptilothyris Walsingham, but it can be distingusished from Torodora by the R 1 of the forewing bent outwardly near base, and the uncus slightly broadened or bifurcated apically, and from Ptilothyris which has the uncus broadened into a fan-shape and the basal plate of the gnathos usually trifurcated caudally.

description: The primary aim of this piece of research is to further explore the relationship between disparaging humorous advertisement and the attitude towards the brand. One purpose of this doctorate dissertation was to assess the extent to which the three laughter-related personality traits, namely gelotophobia (the fear of being laughed at), gelotophilia (the love of being laughed at), and katagelasticism (the love of laughing at others), affect the disparaging humorous advertising effectiveness through the underlying mechanisms of perceived humorousness, elicited positive and negative emotions and perceived superiority and inferiority. The present doctorate thesis, through four separate experiments, extends existing knowledge on the underlying mechanisms that are activated by disparagement humor and identifies limitations in the superiority theory, which has been establishes since the age of Plato. It, also, extensively studies three laughter-related personality traits new to the marketing field that can be used as psychographic segmentation variables and are essential to the effectiveness of humorous advertisements which nowadays constitute a common strategy in the marketing field.

description: The most striking feature of the land reform in the post-Soviet space has been the overall shift from collective to individual land tenure in agriculture, generally accompanied by privatization of legal land ownership. Individualization of farming has been among the main factors that acted to arrest the initial transition decline and to produce agricultural recovery in the region. In CIS countries, the recovery point for agricultural growth is closely linked with the observed watershed dates for individualization of farming. Furthermore, the rate and the attained level of recovery are higher in countries that pursued decisive individualization policies (Transcaucasus, Central Asia), while in countries with less sweeping individualization reforms (European CIS) the recovery has been sluggish. Land reform and individualization have also led to significant improvements in agricultural productivity due to the higher incentives in family farming. Greater production and higher productivity have contributed to significant poverty reduction since 2000. To ensure continued improvement of rural family incomes and poverty mitigation, policy measures should be implemented that facilitate enlargement of very small family farms and encourage the access of small farms to market channels and services.

description: Weyl semimetal is a topologically non-trivial phase of matter with pairs of Weyl nodes in the k-space, which act as monopole and anti-monopole pairs of Berry curvature. Two hallmarks of the Weyl metallic state are the topological surface state called the Fermi arc and the chiral anomaly. It is known that the chiral anomaly yields anomalous magneto-transport phenomena. In this study, we report the emergence of the type-II Weyl semimetallic state in the geometrically frustrated non-collinear antiferromagnetic Shastry-Sutherland lattice (SSL) GdB4 crystal. When we apply magnetic fields perpendicular to the noncollinear moments in SSL plane, Weyl nodes are created above and below the Fermi energy along the M-A line (tau-band) because the spin tilting breaks the time-reversal symmetry and lifts band degeneracy while preserving C4z or C2z symmetry. The unique electronic structure of GdB4 under magnetic fields applied perpendicular to the SSL gives rise to a non-trivial Berry phase, detected in de Haas-van Alphen experiments and chiral-anomaly-induced negative magnetoresistance. The emergence of the magnetic field-induced Weyl state in SSL presents a new guiding principle to develop novel types of Weyl semimetals in frustrated spin systems.

description: The article examines the outcomes of 20 years of land reform in Russia’s agriculture. The landownership structure is assessed, the risks voiced at the beginning of the reform are reevaluated, and new risks related to the development of landownership are highlighted. Russia’s land policy has gone through several stages since the beginning of reform: from clearly formulated policies and procedures in the early 1990s to a set of administrative activities entrusted to disjointed land authorities at the present time. Despite institutional difficulties, the land market in Russia is developing, land has become transferable, it is actively redistributed between peasant farms and corporate farms, flows to new users. Due to the absence of an organ that controls and manages the country’s land endowment, the land policy is unable to respond to new challenges that arise in the course of ongoing land reform.

Implications of the Lyman alpha Emission Line from a Candidate z=10 Galaxy

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The recently discovered z=10 galaxy (Pello et al 2004) has a strong Lyman alpha emission line that is consistent with being surprisingly symmetric, even given the relatively poor quality of its spectrum. The blue wing of a Lyman alpha line originating at high redshift should be strongly suppressed by resonant hydrogen absorption along the line of sight, an expectation borne out by the observed asymmetric shapes of the existing sample of Lyman alpha emitting sources at lower redshifts (3< z < 6.7). Absorption on the blue side of the line of the Pello et al. source could be reduced if the intergalactic medium (IGM) in the vicinity of the galaxy is highly ionized, but we show that this requires an unrealistically high ionizing emissivity. We suggest instead that the Lyman alpha emitting gas be receding relative to the surrounding gas with a velocity of >= 35km/s, a large velocity that is plausible only if the galaxy is part of a larger system (group of galaxies) with a velocity dispersion >= 35km/s. We find that with this velocity shift, the observed strength and shape of the line is still consistent with the galaxy being surrounded by its own Stromgren sphere embedded in a fully neutral IGM. More generally, we predict that at any given redshift, the bright Lyman alpha emitters with broader lines would exhibit stronger asymmetry than fainter ones. Bright galaxies with symmetric Lyman alpha lines may be signposts for groups and clusters of galaxies, within which they can acquire random velocities comparable to or larger than their linewidths.

description: Dieser Studienreport beschreibt das Projekt „Algorithmische Vorhersage und Mitbestimmung“ (AVuM), welches den Einsatz von algorithmischen Verfahren für das Risikomanagement („Predictive Risk Intelligence“ oder PRI) in zunehmend komplexen Wertschöpfungsnetzwerken untersucht. Neueste Modelle solcher PRI-Software sollen nun, unter anderem auf Basis von öffentlichen Daten und Daten von Social-Media-Plattformen, auch soziale Ereignisse wie Demonstrationen, Streiks und Kundgebungen vorhersagen können. Damit werden Fragen der betrieblichen und überbetrieblichen Mitbestimmung berührt. Bisher ist nur sehr wenig darüber bekannt, wie Unternehmen PRI einsetzen, um Prozesse der Mitbestimmung zu beeinflussen. Daneben ist auch unklar, wie Gewerkschaften und Arbeitnehmer:innenvertretungen sich gegenüber PRI-Verfahren positionieren sollen und wie sie diese potenziell auch zu ihrem eigenen Vorteil einsetzen können. Dieses Projekt untersucht, wie und mit welchen Konsequenzen für die betriebliche und überbetriebliche Mitbestimmung Predictive Risk Intelligence (PRI) von Unternehmen bereits eingesetzt wird. Zudem wird untersucht, wie algorithmische Vorhersagesysteme von Arbeitnehmer:innenvertretungen genutzt werden können, um Mitbestimmung in Zeiten der Entsolidarisierung weiterzuentwickeln. Hierzu wurden über einen Zeitraum von acht Monaten mit leitfadengestützten Experteninterviews einunddreißig Interviewpartner*innen aus drei Stakeholdergruppen befragt: 1. „Intermediaries“ (Vertreter aus Softwareentwicklung und -vertrieb von digitalen Risikomanagementtools), 2. „Audiences“ (Interessenvertretungen) und 3. „Companies“ (Kund:innen bzw. potenzielle Kund:innen von PRI-Verfahren). Schwerpunkte der Interviews waren die Einordnung der eigenen Organisation in den Kontext von globalen Lieferketten und Risikomanagement, Erfahrungen oder Einschätzungen zum Einsatz von PRI sowie die Beziehung zu anderen Stakeholdergruppen.

description: Low temperature specific heat of the electron-doped (n-type) infinite-layer cuprate $Sr_{0.9}La_{0.1}CuO_{2}$ has been measured. The quasiparticle density of states (DOS) in the mixed state is found to be consistent with the feature of the s-wave pairing symmetry, agreeing very well with the earlier tunnelling measurement, but being contrary to the d-wave symmetry well confirmed for the hole-doped (p-type) cuprates. Our results indicate that the electronic DOS are mainly contributed by the vortex cores in the present sample being contrast to the p-type cuprates in which the vortex cores are abnormal and contribute very limited low energy DOS as evidenced by many means.

This integrative literature review examines the factors contributing to front line nurses’ inconsistent involvement in palliative care decision-making process specific to patients with chronic conditions in their final stage of life such as patients with end stage Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and within a palliative care framework. These factors were envisioned from the health care professionals, as well as from the patient perspectives. Health care professionals related barriers include bedside nurses’ lack of training in end of life care, and attending doctor’s inconsistent preference for inclusion of nurses in palliative care discussions. Patient related factors include lack of communication about goals of care with patients and families. Findings drawn from this review informs recommendations to break barriers intruding frontline staff nurses’ consistent inclusion in palliative care discussions. Findings from other grey literature have also been included to synthesize the recommendations to break the barriers to successful involvement of nurses in palliative care decisions. Recommendations focused on nurses’ training and education in the context of their work environment to improve the successful involvement of nurses in PC decision-making process in acute care settings, with the goal of enhancing quality PC care. The conceptual framework of a palliative approach is utilized to underpin the arguments and integrative literature review for this project paper. Key words of Palliative Care (PC), End-of-life care (EOLC), palliative approach, PC decision-making process, PC discussions, bedside nurses and attending doctors have been used throughout this paper.

 Remarks. This species was originally described from Cameroon (Park, 2018) and also reported from Uganda by Park et al. (2020). This species can be distinguished from its allies by the shape of the uncus, the valva, and the aedeagus in the male genitalia. Little differences from the type specimen of the species (Fig. 5E) are found in the male genitalia, with the uncus less directed outwardly and the triangular caudal plate of juxta smaller, However, those differences are considered to be infraspecific variation. A further study is needed.
 Male genitalia (Figs. 6C, D): See also Park (2018, Figs. 15, 15a).
 Distribution. Equatorial Guinea (new record; Isl. Bioko). The species was originally described from Cameroon (Park, 2018) and was also reported from Uganda (Park et al. 2020).

description: Recently, very massive compact stellar systems have been discovered in the intracluster regions of galaxy clusters and in the nuclear regions of late-type disk galaxies. It is unclear how these compact stellar systems -- known as ``ultra-compact dwarf'' (UCD) galaxies or ``nuclear clusters'' (NCs) -- form and evolve. By adopting a formation scenario where these stellar systems are the product of multiple merging of star clusters in the central regions of galaxies, we investigate, numerically, their physical properties. We find that physical correlations between velocity dispersion, luminosity, effective radius, and average surface brightness in the stellar merger remnants are quite different from those observed in globular clusters. We also find that the remnants have triaxial shapes with or without figure rotation, and these shapes and their kinematics depend strongly on the initial number and distribution of the progenitor clusters. These specific predictions can be compared with the corresponding results of ongoing and future observations of UCDs and NCs, thereby providing a better understanding of the origin of these enigmatic objects.

description: This research considers potential dose increase in target due to cisplatin (Pt) concentration and radiation type. Cisplatin concentrations from 0.003 to 120 mM were used. Monte-Carlo simulation of Linear accelerator (Elekta Synergy) and X-ray tube (Xstrahl300) was carried out using Geant4 and PClab. As the first step of this research, we performed simulation of energy spectrum from radiotherapy units (spectrum model). The next step was the modeling of linear accelerator head and X-ray tube, and the distribution of dose in the water phantom (PDD model). At the second stage, dose changes were investigated in the presence of cisplatin in the target (CIS model). The simulation results showed that the dose escalation can be caused by photon-capture therapy (PCT). There is a dose enhancement in the volume where cisplatin is accumulated. Then higher is concentration, then higher is the effect. However, the photon energy increase from 60 to 250 kV and increase of depth of target reduces the effect of PCT due the decrease of the photoelectric effect cross-section. Should be noticed, that the orthovoltage X-rays energy, listed in the table with results shows higher dose enhancement, than the megavoltage photon beam generated from linear acceleration sources. In addition, that the dose enhancement factors (DEF) are higher in linac without flattening filter, than in linac with flattening filter.

description: In the study of reaction networks and the polynomial dynamical systems that they generate, special classes of networks with important properties have been identified. These include reversible, weakly reversible}, and, more recently, endotactic networks. While some inclusions between these network types are clear, such as the fact that all reversible networks are weakly reversible, other relationships are more complicated. Adding to this complexity is the possibility that inclusions be at the level of the dynamical systems generated by the networks rather than at the level of the networks themselves. We completely characterize the inclusions between reversible, weakly reversible, endotactic, and strongly endotactic network, as well as other less well studied network types. In particular, we show that every strongly endotactic network in two dimensions can be generated by an extremally weakly reversible network. We also introduce a new class of source-only networks, which is a computationally convenient property for networks to have, and show how this class relates to the above mentioned network types.

description: We present an analysis of the morphology and profiles of the dust continuum emission in 153 bright sub-millimetre galaxies (SMGs) detected with ALMA at S/N ratios of $>8$ in high-resolution $0.18''$ ($\sim1$kpc) 870$μ$m maps. We measure sizes, shapes and light profiles for the rest-frame far-infrared emission from these luminous star-forming systems and derive a median effective radius ($R_e$) of $0.10''\pm0.04''$ for our sample with a median flux of $S_{870}=5.6\pm0.2$mJy. We find that the apparent axial ratio ($b/a$) distribution of the SMGs peaks at $b/a\sim0.63\pm0.24$ and is best described by triaxial morphologies, while their emission profiles are best fit by a Sersic model with $n\simeq1.0\pm0.1$, similar to exponential discs. This combination of triaxiality and $n\sim1$ Sersic index are characteristic of bars and we suggest that the bulk of the 870$μ$m dust continuum emission in the central $\sim2$kpc of these galaxies arises from bar-like structures. By stacking our 870$μ$m maps we recover faint extended dust continuum emission on $\sim4$kpc scales which contributes $13\pm1$% of the total 870$μ$m emission. The scale of this extended emission is similar to that seen for the molecular gas and rest-frame optical light in these systems, suggesting that it represents an extended dust and gas disc at radii larger than the more active bar component. Including this component in our estimated size of the sources we derive a typical effective radius of $\simeq0.15''\pm0.05''$ or $1.2\pm0.4$kpc. Our results suggest that kpc-scale bars are ubiquitous features of high star-formation rate systems at $z\gg1$, while these systems also contain fainter and more extended gas and stellar envelopes. We suggest that these features, seen some $10-12$Gyrs ago, represent the formation phase of the earliest galactic-scale components: stellar bulges.
