description: In the region of Northern Hungary the unique Cavebath of Miskolcatapolca is one of the leading health tourism service positioning itself on national and international market with its developing supply items and 4 star qualifications. It has a unique natural background all over in Europe; this uniqueness gives an opportunity to develop brand, which is a determinative item of competitiveness. Because of the competition between destinations and the ever-changing nature of tourists’ expectations and behavior tourism destinations need to be managed as other commercial brands. The aim of our research was to analyze the role and possibilities of product development which is based on the unique natural factors, and to help to expand the domestic health tourism supply. We examined how the possibility of branding and brand equity change based on brand elements; how satisfied are guests with the services; how often guests visit the bath; what kind of period guests arrive in the bath; what kind of services do guests try; how do guests arrive in the bath with. In summer of 2014 we asked 210 Hungarian customers to fill the questionnaire in the Cavebath. The choosing of guests happened randomly. 199 questionnaires were correctly filled.

subject: complex analysis

description: The Hungarian tobacco sector went through significant changes in the last decades. The reason of the changes were our accession to the EU, then the changes in subsidiary system, the effect of the world and within the EU’s strict tobacco policy. The number of tobacco farms declined and the future became uncertain for the farmers. Size of the farms increased and there were a concentration in the sector, so the smaller scale farmers’ activity ceased. It causes several problems in rural areas, because one of the main strengths of the sector was its significant role in rural development, as the tobacco in small scales was able to produce an acceptable income in such areas where due to the poor soil quality economically successfully growing for other plants are not suitable. The main goal of this paper is to present the Hungarian tobacco sector and its main strengths, weaknesses, possibilities and threats compared to the European Union’s situation.

description: Nonadiabatic geometric quantum computation (NGQC) has been developed to realize fast and robust geometric gate. However, the conventional NGQC is that all of the gates are performed with exactly the sameamount of time, whether the geometric rotation angle is large or small, due to the limitation of cyclic condition. Here, we propose an unconventional scheme, called nonadiabatic noncyclic geometric quantum computation(NNGQC), that arbitrary single- and two-qubit geometric gate can be constructed via noncyclic non-Abeliangeometric phase. Consequently, this scheme makes it possible to accelerate the implemented geometric gatesagainst the effects from the environmental decoherence. Furthermore, this extensible scheme can be applied invarious quantum platforms, such as superconducting qubit and Rydberg atoms. Specifically, for single-qubit gate,we make simulations with practical parameters in neutral atom system to show the robustness of NNGQC and also compare with NGQC using the recent experimental parameters to show that the NNGQC can significantly suppress the decoherence error. In addition, we also demonstrate that nontrivial two-qubit geometric gate can berealized via unconventional Rydberg blockade regime within current experimental technologies. Therefore, ourscheme provides a promising way for fast and robust neutral-atom-based quantum computation.

title: End-of-life care in China: ecology of hope
Creators: name: Chen, Hong
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2012

description: In this thesis I explore the current end-of-life care provision as experienced by older people with advanced cancer in three distinct care settings in Yunnan China: a hospice, an inpatient palliative care ward and a self-help organisation. In particular, I focus on the role of "hope" at the end of life, hope having emerged as a significant aspect of participant's experiences. I took a "multiple-embedded case study" approach, employing mainly qualitative interviewing and observation to capture the richness and complexity of the experience of end-of-life care in different settings. The findings show that mainstream health care for advanced cancer in China focused on curative western medicine and failed to alleviate prevalent pain and symptoms. Specialised palliative/end-of-life care services adapted from the western palliative care model contributed mainly to relieving cancer pain and symptoms. "Total care for the whole person" - the core of the palliative care philosophy, was an aggregate of the resources located in the family, health care and the broader sociocultural environment. The study revealed the nature of hope as essentially affirming life in all circumstances and as situated and fostered in a "hierarchical social and cultural ecology of hope" (Feudtner 2005, p. S23) comprising an individual, his or her family, care providers and other physical, social and cultural elements. The fostering of hope, as a resource at the end of life, has implications for improving care and support at multiple levels - personal, interpersonal and social and cultural. Hence, it is suitable to take the public health approach proposed by Kellehear (2005) to advance palliative care development in China because it endorses a compassionate approach to death and dying and loss and proposes that care for people at the end of life is a fundamental responsibility of not just health professionals, but also communities, governments and societies.

description: Stock price movement prediction is commonly accepted as a very challenging task due to the volatile nature of financial markets. Previous works typically predict the stock price mainly based on its own information, neglecting the cross effect among involved stocks. However, it is well known that an individual stock price is correlated with prices of other stocks in complex ways. To take the cross effect into consideration, we propose a deep learning framework, called Multi-GCGRU, which comprises graph convolutional network (GCN) and gated recurrent unit (GRU) to predict stock movement. Specifically, we first encode multiple relationships among stocks into graphs based on financial domain knowledge and utilize GCN to extract the cross effect based on these pre-defined graphs. To further get rid of prior knowledge, we explore an adaptive relationship learned by data automatically. The cross-correlation features produced by GCN are concatenated with historical records and then fed into GRU to model the temporal dependency of stock prices. Experiments on two stock indexes in China market show that our model outperforms other baselines. Note that our model is rather feasible to incorporate more effective stock relationships containing expert knowledge, as well as learn data-driven relationship.

Some structural aspects of the Southern problem: the complementarity of “emigration” and industrialization

Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Southern Italy, policy, emigration, development, Mezzogiorno
subject: O14, O52

description: In the recent debate in Italy regarding its Southern policy, the view taken by most “Southernists” was that “emigration” to the North is not a factor helping to promote industrial development in the South itself, but merely a substitute for such development. Conversely, the present article argues that in certain circumstances, such as with the Italian Mezzogiorno, the relief of population pressure in an area can have a positive role in facilitating that area’s economic development. The author sets out in rough quantitative terms the aspects of the Southern problem which make it appear that a redistribution of population between South and North is in fact a necessary part of the solution.

description: Conscients qu’une alimentation déséquilibrée peut être à l’origine d’un nombre important de pathologies chroniques, de nombreux pays lancent des campagnes d’information pour inciter les consommateurs à adopter une alimentation meilleure pour la santé en consommant moins de gras, de sucres et de sel et plus de fruits et légumes. Récemment, des études ont également montré que l’alimentation pouvait être à l’origine de 15 à 30 % des émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES) des pays développés. La nécessité de limiter les émissions de GES conduit de nombreux experts à recommander des changements de comportements alimentaires et l’adoption de régimes moins impactants sur le plan environnemental. Ces recommandations, qui portent notamment sur la baisse de la consommation de produits d’origine animale, ne sont pas encore intégrées aux campagnes d’information mises en place par la puissance publique en France. Nous avons évalué les coûts et les bénéfices de diverses recommandations alimentaires et nutritionnelles qui prendraient en compte ce double enjeu sanitaire et environnemental. Nos résultats montrent que : le coût d’adoption par les consommateurs varie fortement selon les recommandations envisagées ; les objectifs de réduction des émissions de GES et de santé publique sont généralement compatibles ; la valeur économique des effets sur la santé est généralement bien supérieure à celle des effets de réduction des émissions de GES ; pour bon nombre de recommandations, les politiques d’information des consommateurs présentent un bilan coût-bénéfice favorable suggérant qu’il est pertinent d’intensifier ces campagnes d’information.
Incorporating Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle into Quantum Multiparameter Estimation

description: The quantum multiparameter estimation is very different from the classical multiparameter estimation due to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics. When the optimal measurements for different parameters are incompatible, they cannot be jointly performed. We find a correspondence relationship between the inaccuracy of a measurement for estimating the unknown parameter with the measurement error in the context of measurement uncertainty relations. Taking this correspondence relationship as a bridge, we incorporate Heisenberg's uncertainty principle into quantum multiparameter estimation by giving a tradeoff relation between the measurement inaccuracies for estimating different parameters. For pure quantum states, this tradeoff relation is tight, so it can reveal the true quantum limits on individual estimation errors in such cases. We apply our approach to derive the tradeoff between attainable errors of estimating the real and imaginary parts of a complex signal encoded in coherent states and obtain the joint measurements attaining the tradeoff relation. We also show that our approach can be readily used to derive the tradeoff between the errors of jointly estimating the phase shift and phase diffusion without explicitly parameterizing quantum measurements.

subject: F35, O24

description: The article examines a number of issues regarding the merits of foreign aid as an instrument for the development of backward countries that have yet to receive adequate attention. The author argues that Foreign aid has obscured the deep-seated factors beneath differences in prosperity and that economic development requires cultural change in the backward countries and structural changes in the advanced countries. Furthermore, it is argued that foreign aid leads to an ineffective use of the world’s supplies of capital and promotes concentration of power both in the rich and poor countries. Finally, some other ways to encourage economic development in the backwards countries are explored. JEL: F35, O24

description: We study self-gravitating stars in the bootstrapped Newtonian picture for polytropic equations of state. We consider stars that span a wide range of compactness values. Both matter density and pressure are sources of the gravitational potential. Numerical solutions show that the density profiles can be well approximated by Gaussian functions. Later we assume Gaussian density profiles to investigate the interplay between the compactness of the source, the width of the Gaussian density profile and the polytropic index. We also dedicate a section to comparing the pressure and density profiles of the bootstrapped Newtonian stars to the corresponding General Relativistic solutions. We also point out that no Buchdahl limit is found, which means that the pressure can in principle support a star of arbitrarily large compactness. In fact, we find solutions representing polytropic stars with compactness above the Buchdhal limit.

description: In the post-war period Italy enjoyed remarkable growth, which stimulated a rapid increase in per capital consumption expenditure, one of the highest in the Western world. In the present stage of development, the Italian economy has begun to experience the process of substantial change in the pattern of consumption expenditure that had already taken place in industrialized countries some 50-70 years before it. If the national income continues growing steadily, this process should gradually acquire momentum in future years. The present study provides some estimates of the probable evolution of demand for private consumption in the next decade, taking into account the influence of the level of income on the pattern of demand itself.

title: Learning for development through co-operation: the engagement of youth with co-operatives in Lesotho and Uganda
Creators: name: Hartley, Sally Ann
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2012

description: With 2011 designated the United Nations Year of the Youth and 2012 the Year of the Co-operative this research contributes to issues raised by these two significant and timely events. The renaissance of co-operatives globally and their revival in countries in Africa has promoted interest and debate around co-operatives as collective values-based businesses and their potential to promote economic and social development and address poverty (UN, 2010). There is also increasing recognition that youth in Africa present both a potential and a challenge for development (UN, 2011). Youth access to education, civic participation and the ability to secure and sustain livelihoods are core concerns. Initiatives to involve youth in co-operatives in Lesotho and Uganda bring these two areas together and are of particular interest. The focus of this thesis is whether and how co-operatives provide opportunities for youth learning and the development of their capabilities and agency to achieve valued goals. The analysis is framed through conceptualisation of co-operatives as learning spaces within which theories of situated , learning are combined with the capability approach. Using qualitative and participatory methods to investigate youth engagement in co-operatives in Lesotho and Uganda the thesis argues that co- operatives provide situated social learning spaces where youth learn for development. Learning emerges within such spaces for: business and vocational knowledge and skills, personal development, collective learning based on trust and co-operator identity, and wider outcomes such as community engagement, enhanced relationships and networks and development of the co- operative form. Learning is, however, both enabled and restricted by: gender, the level of prior formal education, the networks of which a co-operative is a part and the type and success of a co-operative.

description: We present the merger rate density of Population (Pop.) III binary black holes (BHs) by means of a widely-used binary population synthesis code BSE with extensions to very massive and extreme metal-poor stars. We consider not only low-mass BHs (lBHs: $5-50 M_\odot$) but also high-mass BHs (hBHs: $130-200 M_\odot$), where lBHs and hBHs are below and above the pair-instability mass gap ($50-130 M_\odot$), respectively. Pop. III BH-BHs can be categorized into three subpopulations: BH-BHs without hBHs (hBH0s: $m_{\rm tot} \lesssim 100 M_\odot$), with one hBH (hBH1s: $m_{\rm tot} \sim 130-260 M_\odot$), and with two hBHs (hBH2s: $m_{\rm tot} \sim 270-400 M_\odot$), where $m_{\rm tot}$ is the total mass of a BH-BH. Their merger rate densities at the current universe are $\sim 0.1$ yr$^{-1}$ Gpc$^{-3}$ for hBH0s, and $\sim 0.01$ yr$^{-1}$ Gpc$^{-3}$ for the sum of hBH1s and hBH2s, provided that the mass density of Pop. III stars is $\sim 10^{13} M_\odot$ Gpc$^{-3}$. These rates are modestly insensitive to initial conditions and single star models. The hBH1 and hBH2 mergers can dominate BH-BHs with hBHs discovered in near future. They have low effective spins $\lesssim 0.2$ in the current universe. The number ratio of the hBH2s to the hBH1s is high, $\gtrsim 0.1$. We also find BHs in the mass gap (up to $\sim 85 M_\odot$) merge. These merger rates can be reduced to nearly zero if Pop. III binaries are always wide ($\gtrsim 100 R_\odot$), and if Pop. III stars always enter into chemically homogeneous evolution. The presence of close Pop. III binaries ($\sim 10 R_\odot$) are crucial for avoiding the worst scenario.

description: Since the first experimental observation of the phonon Hall effect (PHE) in 2005, its physical origin and theoretical explanation have been extensively investigated. While spin-orbit interactions are believed to play important roles under external magnetic fields, nonmagnetic effects are also possible. Here, we propose a mechanism of PHE which is induced by electric current in a nonequilibrium system through electron-phonon interactions. The influence of the drift electrons to the phonon degrees of freedom, as a correction to the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, is represented by an antisymmetric matrix which has the same form as in a typical phonon Hall model. We demonstrate the idea with a graphene-like hexagonal lattice having a finite phonon Hall conductivity under a driven electric current.

Subjects: subject: Interest rates, policy, Britain, Bank of England, bond market
subject: E42, E58, G12

description: In the five years since the British crisis of 1957, many interesting monetary developments have taken place, including the adoption of a conscious and positive policy in relation to long-term rates of interest. The present article is devoted to this development and of a rate-of-interest policy. The author first discusses the circumstances leading to the Bank of England’s change of front in the bond market in 1958. This is followed by a discussion of the actual developments and of the circumstances that made the market peculiarly ready to follow an official lead. Finally, there is consideration whether the authorities should try to guide the bond rate to a different level. JEL: E42, E58, G12

Regge OPE blocks and light-ray operators

description: We consider the structure of the operator product expansion (OPE) in conformal field theory by employing the OPE block formalism. The OPE block acted on the vacuum is promoted to an operator and its implications are examined on a non-vacuum state. We demonstrate that the OPE block is dominated by a light-ray operator in the Regge limit, which reproduces precisely the Regge behavior of conformal blocks when used inside scalar four-point functions. Motivated by this observation, we propose a new form of the OPE block, called the light-ray channel OPE block that has a well-behaved expansion dominated by a light-ray operator in the Regge limit. We also show that the two OPE blocks have the same asymptotic form in the Regge limit and confirm the assertion that the Regge limit of a pair of spacelike-separated operators in a Minkowski patch is equivalent to the OPE limit of a pair of timelike-separated operators associated with the original pair in a different Minkowski patch.

Becoming Canadian : Punjabi ESL learners, national language policy and the Canadian language benchmarks
Creators: name: Fleming, Douglas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Drawing on the voices of Punjabi-speaking immigrants enrolled in a government-sponsored ESL program, this study sheds light on how a contemporary sample of adult ESL learners are constructing new national identities in the context of the challenges associated with coming to Canada. In particular, it traces how the common threads among their conceptions of citizenship compare to those embedded within national ESL assessment and curriculum documents and illuminates how these documents construct and position idealized conceptions of second language learners. As this study establishes in some detail, there are significant gaps between the principal national assessment and curriculum documents used in this context and the views expressed by the learners polled in this study. Based on this research, the author outlines the implications associated with second language citizenship education in terms of research priorities, national curriculum development, and pedagogical treatment options. In addition, three specific recommendations are made in regards to curriculum content: that citizenship content be made more explicit within our national curriculum and assessment documents; that this content emphasize positive representations of learners in our curriculum documents as being active and socially-integrated; and that this content be centered on the legalistic aspects of citizenship and avoid the use of singular normative cultural standards.

description: Nowadays we witness a miniaturisation trend in the semiconductor industry backed up by groundbreaking discoveries and designs in nanoscale characterisation and fabrication. To facilitate the trend and produce ever smaller, faster and cheaper computing devices, the size of nanoelectronic devices is now reaching the scale of atoms or molecules - a technical goal undoubtedly demanding for novel devices. Following the trend, we explore an unconventional route of implementing a reservoir computing on a single protein molecule and introduce neuromorphic connectivity with a small-world networking property. We have chosen Izhikevich spiking neurons as elementary processors, corresponding to the atoms of verotoxin protein, and its molecule as a 'hardware' architecture of the communication networks connecting the processors. We apply on a single readout layer various training methods in a supervised fashion to investigate whether the molecular structured Reservoir Computing (RC) system is capable to deal with machine learning benchmarks. We start with the Remote Supervised Method, based on Spike-Timing-Dependent-Plasticity, and carry on with linear regression and scaled conjugate gradient back-propagation training methods. The RC network is evaluated as a proof-of-concept on the handwritten digit images from the MNIST dataset and demonstrates acceptable classification accuracy in comparison with other similar approaches.

description: In the present note, the authors comment on “Some structural Aspects of the Southern Problem: The Complementarity of Emigration and Industrialization” by Vera Lutz. It is argued that Lutz’ analysis of the “structural” obstacles to the development of the Italian Mezzogiorno and the policy conclusions deriving from it rest on some rather peculiar theoretical hypotheses and on some fundamental factual assumptions which are not substantiated. The authors examine such hypotheses and consider the available data, suggesting that Lutz’ argument is in need of reformulation and that her conclusions are faulty. JEL: O14, O52

description: Aflatoxin is a potent mycotoxin that can cause cancer, stunted growth, and (in extreme instances) rapid death. Aflatoxin can contaminate many staple crops, including maize and groundnuts. As many as 4.5 billion people in the developing world may be chronically exposed. Scientists at the United States Department of Agriculture – Agricultural Resource Service, International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), and African Agricultural Technology Foundation have developed a biological control product called Aflasafe. IITA is currently working with the AgResults initiative to promote widespread adoption of Aflasafe in Nigeria and with the Aflasafe Technology Transfer and Commercialization Program to promote Aflasafe adoption in 11 African countries. In the fall of 2016, 902 oral surveys were administered to smallholder maize farmers in Nigeria. The survey was developed to obtain data regarding farmer awareness of aflatoxin and Aflasafe. At least 88% of farmers who head heard of aflatoxin claimed to recognize the negative health impacts of aflatoxin consumption on human and animal health. Private sector players were critical sources of information about Aflasafe for farmers. First-time users of Aflasafe persisted more frequently in purchasing the product in future growing seasons in some states than others. Stronger relationships between farmers and input suppliers seemed to increase the likelihood a farmer would repurchase. Farmers who purchase Aflasafe bundled with other inputs appeared more likely to repurchase than farmers who purchase Aflasafe stand-alone.
Emigration and industrialization in Southern Italy. A reply

subject: O14, O52

description: This brief reply addresses Ackley and Spaventa’s criticisms of the author’s article “Some structural Aspects of the Southern Problem: The Complementarity of Emigration and Industrialization”. The author seeks to both clarify her initial argument and rebut the specific points raised by Ackley and Spaventa. It is argued that while there may be different evaluations regarding future development prospects in Italy, the speed at which the Northern industries are expanding the country’s exports and at the same time providing employment for Southern workers makes speculation about vaguer prospects appear quixotic.
