description: Climate change is a growing challenge to food security, especially for the developing countries which depend on agriculture for their livelihood. Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) is the approach proposed by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to improve agricultural productivity and income, climate change adaptation capacity and mitigation of greenhouse gases hence improving food security. Despite the promotion of CSA-practices in Tanzania, its impact on household food security is not well documented. The study used a Multinomial Endogenous Switching Regression Model (MESR) to evaluate the impact of CSA-practises on food security in Mbeya and Songwe regions in Tanzania. Multistage sampling was conducted in which a total of 1443 farming households were interviewed. The study found that the usage of CSA-practises can increase or decrease Food Variety Score per adult equivalent unit when used either in isolation or in combination. Intercropping has the best payoff among the CSA-practices considered in this study. A combination of crop rotation and residue retention and a combination of crop rotation, intercropping and residue retention showed a positive impact on Food Variety Score per adult equivalent unit but lower magnitude compared with practises used in isolation. The study found that the usage of all three CSA-practices does not necessarily result in better returns compared to other practices. The study recommended that regardless of unobserved and observed effects, using crop rotation, residue retention and intercropping in isolation results into the highest food variety score per adult equivalent among all possible combinations.

description: Recent findings on chimpanzee infants’ gestural development show that they use some gesture types flexibly and adjust them depending on their interaction partner and social context, suggesting that gestural communication is partly learnt and partly genetically determined. However, how gesture types are shaped by social and demographic factors remains unclear. We addressed this question by focusing on gesture type morphology and conducted a fined-grained analysis of gestural form during intraspecific social-play interactions in two captive groups of Western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla). We focused on the most frequent gesture types (beat chest, slap body, slap ground and touch body) produced by subadults (infants, juveniles and adolescents). We considered twelve morphological gesture characteristics (e.g., horizontal and vertical hand trajectories, fingers flexion and spread). Our multifactorial investigation shows that morphological characteristics of distinct gesture types can be shaped by social factors, namely signaller’s sociodemographic characteristics (group and kinship), signaller’s behavioural characteristics (body posture) and context-related characteristics (recipient’s sex, attentional state and position in the signaller’s visual field). We nurtured the lively debate concerning gesture origins by revealing the existence of “accents” in non-verbal communication and the highly variable adjustment of gestural form to different conspecifics and interactional characteristics, which supports the revised social negotiation hypothesis.

description: A method for the stabilization of nanoscale zero valent iron (nZVI) particles using silica was developed. Stabilization can significantly improve the performance characteristics of currently available nZVI products containing agglomerated particles. In the first step of the method, the agglomerates were broken using a sonication. A subsequent stabilizing effect was brought about by the deposition of silica onto the surface of the nZVI particles. The method was tested on three commercially available nZVI suspensions whose formed agglomerates with mean sizes ranged 1000‒5000 nm. The application of the method resulted in a significant reduction of the mean size of the agglomerates to the values from 100 to 200 nm. The stabilizing effect of silica was also evidenced using scanning electron microscopy, zeta potential measurements and sedimentation analysis. The introduction of typical groundwater ions did not significantly affect the colloidal stability of the treated nZVI suspensions. The results of this study indicate that the silica coating have the potential to protect nZVI against agglomeration.Supplementary material

description: This study addresses a fundamental question in surface science: the adsorption of halogens on metal surfaces. Using synchrotron radiation-based high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), temperature-programmed XPS, low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we investigated the adsorption and thermal stability of bromine on Rh(111) in detail. The adsorption of elemental bromine on Rh(111) at 170 K was followed in situ by XPS in the Br 3d region, revealing two individual, coverage-dependent species, which we assign to fcc hollow- and bridge-bound atomic bromine. In addition, we find a significant shift in binding energy upon increasing coverage due to adsorbate-adsorbate interactions. Subsequent heating shows a high thermal stability of bromine on Rh(111) up to above 1000 K, indicating strong covalent bonding. To complement the XPS data, LEED was used to study the long-range order of bromine on Rh(111): we observe a (√3×√3)R30° structure for low coverages (≤0.33 ML) and a star-shaped compression structure for higher coverages (0.33–0.43 ML). Combining LEED and DFT calculations, we were able to visualize bromine adsorption on Rh(111) in real space for varying coverages.
Outsourcing Empire: International Monetary Power in the Age of Offshore Finance

description: Offshore finance allows foreign banks to create US dollars under the laws of an offshore jurisdiction. How and why does this affect international monetary power? Conceptually, I argue that offshore finance bifurcates across borders the shared power of the state and banks to create money, combining the US dollar with mostly English law. Empirically, I demonstrate that more US dollars are created offshore outside US jurisdiction than onshore within it. Offshore finance increases liquidity, at higher risk, and leads to a cross-border entanglement of issuing country, offshore financial centers, borrowers, and global banks. In short, offshore finance changes the power inherent in money. Consequently, international monetary power has become the ability to get access to offshore dollars in combination with the capacity to determine international liquidity and to set, select, or circumvent the related rules. It is constrained by the hierarchically organized social credit relations that money consists of. The international monetary power of the United States has become an instance of indirect rule with global banks having been delegated the prerogative of US dollar creation. As is common with indirect rule, it entails a difficult balancing act between geographical reach and centralization of power.
The verbal expression of events of change in Bulgarian

description: The paper explores the verbal expression of events of change in Bulgarian, a Slavic language with a uniquely complex verbal system involving triplets of imperfective, perfective and secondary imperfective verbs and aspectual tenses like Aorist and Imperfect. It starts from the observation that English predicates involving events of change generally correspond to Bulgarian triplets of lexically related but aspectually differentiated verbs. It addresses this asymmetry by investigating the properties of the events in the denotation of the triplet members in terms of Rothstein’s (2004) aspectual features [±stage] and [±change]. The paper provides evidence for a systematic mapping between the aspectual properties of the triplet members and Rothstein’s event types and proposes an analysis of the event structure of the triplet members. The findings support both the assumption of independent event types denoted by verbal predicates and the notion of telicity as a VP-level phenomenon, and provide evidence for a strategy of expressing aspectual distinctions in which aspectual properties are not directly tied to the roots of verbal predicates but are partly morphologically and partly lexically encoded.

description: Amidst the ever-expanding realm of scientific production and the proliferation of predatory journals, the focus on peer review remains paramount for scientometricians and sociologists of science. Despite this attention, there is a notable scarcity of empirical investigations into the tangible impact of peer review on publication quality. This study aims to address this gap by conducting a comprehensive analysis of how peer review contributes to the quality of scholarly publications, as measured by the citations they receive.Utilizing an adjusted dataset comprising 57,482 publications from Publons to Web of Science and employing the Raking Ratio method, our study reveals intriguing insights. Specifically, our findings shed light on a nuanced relationship between the length of reviewer reports and the subsequent citations received by publications. Through a robust regression analysis, we establish that, beginning from 947 words, the length of reviewer reports is significantly associated with an increase in citations.These results not only confirm the initial hypothesis that longer reports indicate requested improvements, thereby enhancing the quality and visibility of articles, but also underscore the importance of timely and comprehensive reviewer reports. Furthermore, insights from Publons' data suggest that open access to reports can influence reviewer behavior, encouraging more detailed reports.Beyond the scholarly landscape, our findings prompt a reevaluation of the role of reviewers, emphasizing the need to recognize and value this resource-intensive yet underappreciated activity in institutional evaluations. Additionally, the study sounds a cautionary note regarding the challenges faced by peer review in the context of an increasing volume of submissions, potentially compromising the vigilance of peers in swiftly assessing numerous articles.

description: Since 2009, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) regime has seen the emergence of several new political groups. This article analyses how the new political groups are positioning themselves in relation to the key UNFCCC principles (the North–South divide and ‘common but differentiated responsibility and respective capabilities’, CBDR/RC). Drawing on original data, including official statements and submissions, observations at COP 17, COP 18, COP 19, and interviews with delegates, the article analyses the BASIC group (Brazil, South Africa, India and China), the Climate Vulnerable Forum (CVF), the Cartagena Dialogue for Progressive Action (CD), the Durban Alliance (DA), the Like-Minded Developing Countries (LMDC), and the Association of Independent Latin American and Caribbean States (AILAC). Modelled after Hendrik Wagenaar's approach to narrative policy analysis, the article draws a map of narrative positions based on the North–South and new CBDR/RC divisions. This framework reveals the embeddedness of narratives in practice as they unfold in the formation of new political groups. CVF, CD, DA and AILAC align on a narrative of ‘shared responsibility across the North–South divide’. This meta-narrative challenges the hitherto dominant notion of CBDR/RC, which BASIC and LMDC defend through a meta-narrative of ‘differentiated responsibility upholding the North–South divide’.

description: The objective of this study was to investigate the use of sucrose particles as a porogen for preparing porous poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) films containing dexamethasone by solvent casting technique to modulate PLGA degradation and drug release. Increasing the sucrose content up to 30 % decreased PLGA degradation and extended the drug release duration, a further increase to more than 60 % shortened the release duration. Sucrose created cavities and increased the internal pore surface area for the exchange of degraded acidic oligomers and monomers. This process decreased the autocatalysis within the PLGA matrix, resulting in slower drug release at lower sucrose content. At higher sucrose content, the interconnectivity of the PLGA matrix increased, accelerating the drug release of the entrapped drug. Decreasing the particle size of sucrose has a similar impact on PLGA degradation and drug release as increasing sucrose content. Smaller sucrose particles formed more cavities and a larger overall acidic exchange surface areas. Only 20 % nanosized sucrose resulted in a quasi-linear release profile with interconnected sucrose particles, while 60 % micronized or 100 % non-micronized sucrose particles were necessary to achieve the same effect. In conclusion, modifying the content and particle size of sucrose effectively altered PLGA degradation and drug release, with nanosized sucrose being the most effective porogen. The data obtained with PLGA films could be potentially applied to other PLGA drug delivery systems such as microparticles or implants.

description: The removal of organic solvents during the preparation of biodegradable poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) microparticles by an O/W- solvent extraction/evaporation process was investigated and controlled by diafiltration. Emulsification and steady replacement of the aqueous phase were performed in parallel in a single-vessel setup. During the process, the solidification of the dispersed phase (drug:PLGA:solvent droplets) into microparticles was monitored with video-microscopy and focused beam reflectance measurement (FBRM) and the residual solvent content was analyzed with headspace gas chromatography (organic solvent) and coulometric Karl-Fischer titration (water). Microparticles containing dexamethasone or risperidone were characterized with regard to particle size, morphology, encapsulation efficiency and in-vitro release. Diafiltration-accelerated solvent extraction shortened the process time by accelerating solidification of dispersed phase but reduced the residual dichloromethane content only in combination with increased temperature. Increasing the diafiltration rate increased particle size, porosity, and the encapsulation efficiency of risperidone. The latter effect was particularly evident with increasing lipophilicity of PLGA. A slower and more uniform solidification of end-capped and increased lactide content PLGA grade was identified as the reason for an increased drug leaching. Accelerated solvent extraction by diafiltration did not affect the in-vitro release of risperidone from different PLGA grades. The initial burst release of dexamethasone was increased by diafiltration when encapsulated in concentrations above the percolation threshold. Both porosity and burst release could be reduced by increasing the process temperature during diafiltration. Residual water content was established as an indicator for porosity and correlated with the burst release of dexamethasone.

The negative refraction can be achieved with the two chirality coefficients having the same amplitude but the opposite phase,and without requiring the simultaneous presence of an electric-dipole and a magnetic-dipole transition near the same transition frequency. The simultaneously negative electric permittivity and magnetic permeability does not require, either.

description: In this paper,three external fields interacting with the four-level Y-type atomic system described by the density-matrix approach is investigated .The results show that the left-handedness with zero absorption are achieved.And the zero absorption property displays the possibility of manipulation with varying the phase and the intensity of the coupling field. The zero absorption property may be used to amplify the evanescent waves that have been lost in the imaging by traditional lenses.Our scheme proposes an approach to obtain negative refractive medium with zero absorption and the possibility to enhance the imaging resolution in realizing "superlenses".

description: Poetic imagination, the importance of reverie and thinking beyond the known world, underpins the approach to this thesis. The desire to find a visual language founded on memoirs and the phenomena of the imagination, for me, leads to the notion of childhood. Childhood is a cultural construct, a late eighteenth century invention, revealing more about adult longings than the social conditions of the child. Home, the first world of the child, is explored as a site of security and discomfort through the architectural uncanny. Fairy tales, the literary staple for many children, are inherent in this body of work. Is the forest a place of life threatening danger or is it a wilderness to nourish the soul? Is the wolf a predator upon the innocent young feminine or is it the signifier of sexual promiscuity? The aura of foreboding and fear that surrounds fairy tales is examined for function and exploited for effect. The abject, all that we find repulsive and despicable, is toyed with to reverse convention and open up a casket of horrors. The unsettling and the strange are the predecessors to the making that occur in the studio. Soft sculptures, video footage, toothpick constructions, works on paper and digital photography are the mediums employed to explore the imaginary realm. A survey of curatorial themes addresses questions about the relevance of fantasy and fiction in the current

description: Synthetic Biology is a revolutionary scientific discipline. The ability to design and construct new biological systems with useful properties opens up a challenging scenario for the technological development of humanity. However, new science needs new regulations, and Human Practices dealing with Synthetic Biology must be defined in order to provide an ethical, legal and regulatory framework within which this novel scientific area can develop.
Sins, Ethics and Biology, a Comprehensive Approach, is more than just a review on Human Practices and Synthetic Biology: it encompasses a classical review of scientific reports on HP; the first comparative analysis of previous iGEM HP projects; interviews with wellknown experts; and the largest survey on ethics and Synthetic Biology ever made.
The goal of this book is to help researchers and people interested in SB to assess the new risks, possibilities, and ethical issues of this discipline. We hope you will enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed putting it together!

description: The consensus problem is a fundamental problem in distributed systems. It involves a set of actors, or entities, that need to agree on some values or decisions. The Raft algorithm is a solution to the consensus problem that has gained widespread popularity as an easy-to-understand and implement alternative to Lamport's Paxos algorithm. In this paper we discuss a formalisation of the Raft algorithm and its associated correctness properties in the mCRL2 specification language.
