description: We demonstrate the highest efficiency ($\sim$80%) second harmonic generation (SHG) of Joule level, 27 femtosecond, high contrast pulses in a type-I lithium triborate (LBO) crystal. In comparison, potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) gives a maximum efficiency of 26%. LBO thus offers high intensity ($>$10$^{19}$ W/cm$^{2}$), ultra-high contrast femtosecond pulses, which have great potential for high energy density science particularly with nanostructured targets as well as technological applications.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions.

description: The influence of Rashba spin-orbit coupling on zero conductance resonances appearing in one dimensional ring asymmetrically coupled to two leads is investigated. For this purpose, the transmission function of the corresponding one-electron scattering problem is derived analytically and analyzed in the complex energy plane with focus on the zero-pole structure characteristic of transmission (anti)resonances. The lifting of real conductance zeros due to spin-orbit coupling in the asymmetric Aharonov-Casher (AC) ring is related to the breaking of spin reversal symmetry in analogy to the time-reversal symmetry breaking in the asymmetric Aharonov-Bohm (AB) ring.

description: Xanthene derivatives have become a group of molecules of great importance in discovering of new anticancer drugs. Recent studies of our group performed on xanthen-3-one and xanthen-1,8-dione derivatives have shown their antiproliferative activity on HeLa cervical cell lines. Obtained IC50 values together with calculated molecular descriptors were subjected to Quantitative Structure–Activity Relationship (QSAR) study in order to identify the most relevant molecular features responsible for the observed antiproliferative activity of compounds. Partial least square statistical method and the same training and test set were used to obtain statistical parameters for internal and external validation in 2D- and 3D-QSAR study. The obtained QSAR models have shown next results: 2D-QSAR: R2 = 0.741, Q2 = 0.792, R2pred = 0.875 and 3D-QSAR: R2 = 0.951, Q2 = 0.830, R2pred = 0.769. Based on the performed QSAR analysis and calculated ADMET properties, novel xanthene derivatives with enhanced antiproliferative activity were designed. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: We integrate automatic speech recognition (ASR) and question answering (QA) to realize a speech-driven QA system, and evaluate its performance. We adapt an N-gram language model to natural language questions, so that the input of our system can be recognized with a high accuracy. We target WH-questions which consist of the topic part and fixed phrase used to ask about something. We first produce a general N-gram model intended to recognize the topic and emphasize the counts of the N-grams that correspond to the fixed phrases. Given a transcription by the ASR engine, the QA engine extracts the answer candidates from target documents. We propose a passage retrieval method robust against recognition errors in the transcription. We use the QA test collection produced in NTCIR, which is a TREC-style evaluation workshop, and show the effectiveness of our method by means of experiments.

description: The paper analyzes the broad history underpinning the concept of sustainable development and its context within the events industry and specifically with regards to the South African National Arts Festival. A pilot contingent valuation study conducted at the 2010 National Arts Festival determined that the average visitor was willing to pay an extra ZAR 2.30 (approximately US$ 0.30) per ticket for a recycling programme to be established to process the waste generated by the event. While the paper concluded that the theoretical basis of the study was sound, a larger sample size would have been preferred so as to enhance the model‘s predictive power

description: The excitation of vibrational modes in molecules affects the outcome of chemical reactions, for example by providing molecules with sufficient energy to overcome activation barriers. In this work, we introduce a quantum algorithm for simulating molecular vibrational excitations during vibronic transitions. We discuss how a special-purpose quantum computer can be programmed with molecular data to optimize a vibronic process such that desired modes get excited during the transition. We investigate the effect of such excitations on selective bond dissociation in pyrrole and butane during photochemical and mechanochemical vibronic transitions. The results are discussed with respect to experimental observations and classical simulations. We also introduce quantum-inspired classical algorithms for simulating molecular vibrational excitations in special cases where only a limited number of modes are of interest.

description: Exotic self-interactions among the Standard-Model neutrinos have been proposed as a potential reason behind the tension in the expansion rate, H0, of the universe inferred from different observations. We constrain this proposal using electroweak precision observables, rare meson decays, and neutrinoless double-\{beta} decay. In contrast to previous works, we emphasize the importance of carrying out this study in a framework with full Standard-Model gauge invariance. We implement this first by working with a relevant set of Standard- Model-Effective-Field-Theory operators and subsequently by considering a UV completion in the inverse See-Saw model. We find that the scenario in which all flavors of neutrinos self-interact universally is strongly constrained, disfavoring a potential solution to the H0 problem in this case. The scenario with self-interactions only among tau neutrinos is the least constrained and can potentially be consistent with a solution to the H0 problem.

description: Race logic is a relative timing code that represents information in a wavefront of digital edges on a set of wires in order to accelerate dynamic programming and machine learning algorithms. Skyrmions, bubbles, and domain walls are mobile magnetic configurations (solitons) with applications for Boolean data storage. We propose to use current-induced displacement of these solitons on magnetic racetracks as a native temporal memory for race logic computing. Locally synchronized racetracks can spatially store relative timings of digital edges and provide non-destructive read-out. The linear kinematics of skyrmion motion, the tunability and low-voltage asynchronous operation of the proposed device, and the elimination of any need for constant skyrmion nucleation make these magnetic racetracks a natural memory for low-power, high-throughput race logic applications.

Illuminating Dark Energy with Cosmic Shear

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: One of the principal goals of modern cosmology is to constrain the properties of dark energy. At present, numerous surveys are aiming to determine the equation of state, which is assumed constant due to our poor understanding of its behaviour (and since higher order parameterisations lead to unwieldy errors). This raises the question - how does our "best-fit" equation of state relate to the true function, which may vary with redshift. Saini et al. have demonstrated that the value of w attained by a supernovae study is well described by a weighted integral over the true function. Adopting a similar approach, we calculate the corresponding "weight function" for a fiducial cosmic shear survey. We disentangle contributions from the angular diameter distance and the growth factor, finding that they partially cancel each other out. Consequentially, the sensitivity to w at high redshift is enhanced beyond that of supernovae studies, and is comparable, if not higher, than lensing of the CMB. This illustrates the comlementary nature of the different techniques. Furthermore, we find that results which would naively be interpreted as inconsistent could arise from a time-dependent equation of state.

description: This paper tests for happiness differences among race groups in South Africa and also investigates the determinants of happiness for each race group. Using data from the 2008 National Income Dynamics Survey, the results indicate that reported happiness differs substantially among race groups, with Blacks being the least happy. The determinants of happiness also differ between race groups. While Whites attached greater importance to physical health, employment status and absolute income matter greatly for Blacks. For Coloureds and Blacks, relative income is an important determinant of happiness, with religious importance significantly contributing to the happiness of Indians/Asians.
The Fate of Horticulture in the East Central European (ECE) Transition Countries: A Case Study of Hungary

description: Prior to the time of the 1990s transition in Hungary from a socialist to a capitalist economy, the ECE (East-Central-European) countries produced a great proportion of the fruit, vegetables and wine grapes on large-scale farms. These products were delivered to the wholesale trade, to the processing industry or designated for export. Household farms produced for their own consumption or for local markets. Hungarian large farms also organized the production of small farms, and purchased and traded their products. Earlier, Hungary had been a major exporter of horticultural products. The country’s ecological conditions are good for both open-air and under-cover production. Hungary also has plenty of thermal-energy. Nowadays, horticultural exports from Hungary are still significant but their quantity is diminishing. After the transition, the vertical chain of production was broken. The wholesale trade did not buy up horticultural products from the numerous small farms. Many processing plants were destroyed. The Soviet market, which had been the major importer of horticultural products from the ECE countries, collapsed. As a consequence horticultural production decreased. The recent trend has been for farms to turn to more extensive cereal production encouraged by the EU’s agricultural support system. The domestic horticultural trade has also been damaged by the free import regime. The retail trade for food has become increasingly dominated by big retail trade chains. These require a steady flow of goods in large quantities and of a standard quality. The processing industries, which have been reorganized and are mainly in foreign hands, have the same demands. However, these stipulations cannot be met by individual farms. Farms have to cooperate in order to comply with these requirements. Such cooperation also receives subsidies from the EU. However, the current organization of cooperatives is proceeding slowly, at least in Hungary, where it needs more support and promotion from the national government.

description: Farmers’ problems and co-ordination of agricultural activities cannot be solved simply by EU and/or government support, or by private market co-ordination institutions. Emerging producer groups and co-operatives seem vital in achieving bargaining power. Theoretically, and according to Western European (Dutch, Danish etc.) and US practical experience, one of the major important private institutions that can strengthen producers and help co-ordinate (agricultural) chains is the co-operative entity. To fulfill the basic co-operative aims and to compete in a more market-oriented environment (e.g. more liberal agricultural policies, opening European and world market, etc.) they will initiate new marketing strategies. To implement such new marketing strategies, co-ops have to collect more risk capital and in Western European agricultural co-operatives this is currently precipitating some fundamental financial and organisational changes. To retain the basic co-operative character, they are undertaking internal and external organisational changes, which in a number of cases will create so-called new co-operative structures/models. In this paper the “co-operative identity” concept (meaning the aims and functions of co-operatives, as well as the so-termed co-operative principles) is proposed to serve as a general theoretical background to evaluate economically the flexibility of (agricultural) cooperation. Also proposed is a new, interdisciplinary research focus (including comprehensive theoretical overview). This new focus examines the substance of co-operation and emphasises the importance of combining insights across the social sciences. It uses the results and common findings of economics, law, marketing, financing, organisational studies, management sciences (“hard” sciences), and also some elements of philosophy, psychology, sociology etc. (“soft” disciplines). Also recommended are some suggestions for further comparative research on the “co-operative identity”. This is carried out according to each country and different branches and sectors to observe the substance and dynamics of co-operation from different economic and non-economic aspects.

description: We report on the detection of three Saturn-mass planets discovered with the HARPS instrument. HD 93083 shows radial-velocity (RV) variations best explained by the presence of a companion of 0.37 M_Jup orbiting in 143.6 days. HD 101930 b has an orbital period of 70.5 days and a minimum mass of 0.30 M_Jup. For HD 102117, we present the independent detection of a companion with m2sini = 0.14 M_Jup and orbital period P = 20.7 days. This planet was recently detected by Tinney et al. (2004). Activity and bisector indicators exclude any significant RV perturbations of stellar origin, reinforcing the planetary interpretation of the RV variations. The radial-velocity residuals around the Keplerian fits are 2.0, 1.8 and 0.9 m/s respectively, showing the unprecedented RV accuracy achieved with HARPS. A sample of stable stars observed with HARPS is also presented to illustrate the long-term precision of the instrument. All three stars are metal-rich, confirming the now well-established relation between planet occurrence and metallicity. The new planets are all in the Saturn-mass range, orbiting at moderate distance from their parent star, thereby occupying an area of the parameter space which seems difficult to populate according to planet formation theories. A systematic exploration of these regions will provide new constraints on formation scenarios in the near future.

description: We investigate the $ν_e \to ν_μ$ oscillation in the framework of three generations when neutrinos pass through the earth. The oscillation probability is represented by the form, $P(ν_e \to ν_μ)=A\cos δ+B\sin δ+C$ in arbitrary matter profile by using the leptonic CP phase $δ$. We compare our approximate formula in the previous paper with the formula which includes second order terms of $α=Δm_{21}^2/Δm_{31}^2$ and $s_{13}=\sin θ_{13}$. Non-perturbative effects of $α$ and $s_{13}$ can be taken into account in our formula and the precision of the formula is rather improved around the MSW resonance region. Furthermore, we compare the earth matter effect of $A$ and $B$ with that of $C$ studied by other authors. We show that the magnitude of $A$ and $B$ can reach a few ten % of $C$ around the main three peaks of $C$ in the region $E>1$ GeV by numerical calculation. We give the qualitative understanding of this result by using our approximate formula. The mantle-core effect, which is different from the usual MSW effect, appears not only in $C$ but also in $A$ and $B$, although the effect is weakened.

description: Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) binding interactions for a series of ruthenium heterocyclic complexes were monitored using ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry, fluorescence emission spectroscopy and agarose gel electrophoresis. Investigations of the DNA interactions for the metal complexes revealed that they are groove-binders with intrinsic binding constants in the order of 104 – 107 M−1. Electronic spectrophotometric DNA titrations of the bis-heterocyclic metal complexes illustrated hypochromism of their intraligand electronic transitions and the presence of diffuse isosbestic points which are synonymous with homogeneous binding modes. Metal complexes with the mono-heterocyclic chelates also showed alterations in their intraligand transitions and changes in their metal-based electronic transitions which are suggestive of metal coordination to the CT-DNA structure. Using agarose gel electrophoresis assessments, Hoechst DNA binding competition studies corroborate that the metal complexes are DNA groove-binders. Optimal uptake of these metal complexes by BSA was observed based on their optimal apparent association and Stern-Volmer constants (Kapp and KSV > 104 M−1). Radical scavenging studies revealed that the metal complexes have high activities towards the neutralization of NO and DPPH radicals. Data attained from the BSA electronic spectrophotometric titrations for the majority of the metal complexes illustrated distinct hyperchromism accompanied with blue shifts which indicates unwinding of the protein strands. Predominately, the metal complexes showed moderate cytotoxicity against both triple-negative breast cancer and cervical cancer cell lines that was greater than that of 5-fluorouracil.

description: We present Breakthrough Listen's "Exotica" Catalog as the centerpiece of our efforts to expand the diversity of targets surveyed in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). As motivation, we introduce the concept of survey breadth, the diversity of objects observed during a program. Several reasons for pursuing a broad program are given, including increasing the chance of a positive result in SETI, commensal astrophysics, and characterizing systematics. The Exotica Catalog is a 963 entry collection of 816 distinct targets intended to include "one of everything" in astronomy. It contains four samples: the Prototype sample, with an archetype of every known major type of non-transient celestial object; the Superlative sample of objects with the most extreme properties; the Anomaly sample of enigmatic targets that are in some way unexplained; and the Control sample with sources not expected to produce positive results. As far as we are aware, this is the first object list in recent times with the purpose of spanning the breadth of astrophysics. We share it with the community in hopes that it can guide treasury surveys and as a general reference work. Accompanying the catalog is extensive discussion of classification of objects and a new classification system for anomalies. Extensive notes on the objects in the catalog are available online. We discuss how we intend to proceed with observations in the catalog, contrast it with our extant Exotica efforts, and suggest similar tactics may be applied to other programs.

description: In this study, nine compounds were isolated, eight of them were isolated for the first time from Cystoseira trinodis. The biological activity of the extract, fractions and pure compounds was evaluated. The antimicrobial activity was investigated against 3 fungi species, 3 gram + ve and 3 gram –ve bacteria. The crude extract and fractions showed moderate inhibition against some of the tested microorganisms, especially the butanol fraction exhibited the maximum inhibition zone against Salmonella typhimurium (16±0.60 mm). Cytotoxicity was evaluated against HepG-2 and MCF-7 cell lines. Hexane fraction exhibited the highest cytotoxic effect against HepG-2 and MCF-7 cell lines with an IC50 value of 14.3 ± 0.8 and 19.2 ± 0.7 µg/ml respectively with compared to other fractions. The isolates were identified as octacosanoic acid (1), glyceryl trilinoleate (2), oleic acid (3), and the epimeric mixture of saringosterols (4,5), β-sitosterol (6), glycoglycerolipid (7) and a mixture of kjellmanianone and loliolide (8,9) by spectroscopic analysis. Among the all tested compounds kjellmanianone and loliolide mixture exhibited significant cytotoxic activity with an IC50 value of 7.27 µg/ml against HepG-2 cells. The major and minor constituents of the extract and fractions were identified using GC-MS analysis. Molecular docking analysis confirmed that most of the studied compounds especially compounds 8 and 9 strongly interact with TPK and VEGFR-2 with highest binding energies supported that the high cytotoxicity of these compounds against human hepatocellular cancer in the experimental part. The energetic, geometric and topological properties of compounds 8 and 9 binding with cytosine base were computed by DFT methods. Molecular properties descriptors, bioactivity score and ADMET analysis confirmed that most of the studied compounds especially compounds 8 and 9 exhibit significant biological activities and have a better chance to be developed as drug leads.

description: We present a systematic approach to effectively evaluate potential risk cost caused by exposure to solar proton events (SPEs) from solar flares for the airline industry. We also evaluate associated health risks from radiation, to provide relevant alternative ways to minimize economic loss and opportunity. The estimated radiation dose induced by each SPE for the passengers of each flight is calculated using ExoKyoto and PHITS. We determine a few scenarios for the estimated dose limit at 1 and 20mSv, corresponding to the effective dose limit for the general public and occupational exposure, respectively, as well as a higher dose induced an extreme superflare. We set a hypothetical airline shutdown scenario at 1mSv for a single flight per passenger, due to legal restrictions under the potential radiation dose. In such a scenario, we calculate the potential loss in direct and opportunity cost under the cancelation of the flight. At the same time, we considered that, even under such a scenario, if the airplane flies at a slightly lower altitude (from 12 to 9.5km: atmospheric depth from 234 to 365g/cm$^{2}$), the total loss becomes much smaller than flight cancelation, and the estimated total dose goes down from 1.2 to 0.45mSv, which is below the effective dose limit for the general public. In case of flying at an even lower altitude (7km: atmospheric depth 484g/cm$^{2}$), the estimated total dose becomes much smaller, 0.12 mSv. If we assume the increase of fuel cost is proportional to the increase in atmospheric depth, the increase in cost becomes 1.56 and 2.07 for the case of flying at 9.5 km and at 7 km, respectively. Lower altitude flights provide more safety for the potential risk of radiation doses induced by severe SPEs. At the same time, since there is total loss caused by flight cancelation, we propose that considering lower flight altitude is the best protection against solar flares.

description: In our planet, one of the most widely distributed organisms is fungi. The genus Trichoderma is soil-borne filamentous fungi in phylum of Ascomycota. These fungi are described as environmental opportunistic, mycoparasitic and competitive for nutrient and other resources. Among other features, these capabilities of fungi are provided by secreted surface-active proteins. Hydrophobin proteins represent one of the most known self-assembly and surface-active biological molecules secreted by fungi. These small cysteine-rich secreted proteins play a vital function in fungal growth and development as well as in their adaptation to their environment. They enable hydrophilic: hydrophobic interfaces to change forms and adapt to the environment by assembling in amphipathic films. The goal of this study was to understand the role of hydrophobins in fungal growth and nutrition. For this study, two Trichoderma (Hypocreales, Ascomycota) species, namely T. guizhouense and T. harzianum and respective mutants lacking either one or two hydrophobin-encoding genes were selected. By investigating the relationship of hydrophobins and nutrition, qPCR method was applied to determine expression levels of hydrophobins within the different stages of Trichoderma development. Then, the phenotype microarray technique was performed to assess how different hydrophobins influence the growth of Trichoderma on individual carbon sources during the life cycle.In light of these results, it can be stated that hfb4 and hfb10 has an influence of assimilation for some carbon sources. T. guizhouense and T. harzianum with or without these hydrophobins could lead themselves to up-regulation or down-regulation of their carbon uptake metabolism, hence their growth pattern.

description: The rapid global spread of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has created an unprecedented healthcare crisis. The treatment for the severe respiratory illness caused by this virus is primarily symptomatic at this point, although the usage of a broad antiviral drug Remdesivir has been allowed on emergency basis by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).The ever-increasing death toll highlights an urgent need for development of specific antivirals. In this work, we have utilized docking and simulation methods to identify small molecule inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 Membrane (M) and Envelope (E) proteins, which are essential for virus assembly and budding. A total of 70 compounds from an Indian medicinal plant source (Azadirachta indica or Neem) were virtually screened against these two proteins and further analyzed with molecular dynamics simulations, which resulted in the identification of a few common compounds with strong binding to both structural proteins. The compounds bind to biologically critical regions of M and E, indicating their potential to inhibit the functionality of these components. We hope that our computational approach may result in the identification of effective inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 assembly.
High rank elliptic curves induced by rational Diophantine triples

description: A rational Diophantine triple is a set of three nonzero rational a,b,c with the property that ab+1, ac+1, bc+1 are perfect squares. We say that the elliptic curve y^2 = (ax+1)(bx+1)(cx+1) is induced by the triple {a,b,c}. In this paper, we describe a new method for construction of elliptic curves over Q with reasonably high rank based on a parametrization of rational Diophantine triples. In particular, we construct an elliptic curve induced by a rational Diophantine triple with rank equal to 12, and an infinite family of such curves with rank >= 7, which are both the current records for that kind of curves.

description: In Hungary radical reforms have meant that an increasing number of cooperatives have either fragmented or gone bankrupt because of not being competitive under current market conditions. Others, however, have been able to maintain or even improve on their previous success. Individual farmers have also established new cooperatives and are trying to further cooperation. This paper discusses the importance of cooperatives’ management during the transition period, a topic which the pertinent literature does not fully address. Production co-ops were not only economic units but also social networks. Two successful cooperatives from the same town, one old and one new, have been used and comparisons drawn regarding their management and progress, both of which were backed by social capital. The findings show that, in the traditional agricultural co-op, a more social- (member) oriented leadership has helped to overcome economic, social, and psychological barriers erected during transition. With the new co-op, the post-reform period has prompted enhanced cooperation mainly dependent on a increased level of social capital.

description: In e+e- collisions recorded using the CLEO II.V detector we have studied the Cabibbo suppressed decay of D0 -> pi+pi-pi0 with the initial flavor of the D0 tagged by the decay D*+ -> D0pi+. We use the Dalitz-plot analysis technique to measure the resonant substructure in this final state and observe ρπand non-resonant contributions by fitting for their amplitudes and relative phases. We describe the pipi S-wave with a K-matrix formalism and limit this contribution to the rate to be < 2.5% @95% confidence level, in contrast to the large rate observed in D+ -> pi+pi-pi+ decay. Using the amplitudes and phases from this analysis, we calculate an integrated CP asymmetry of 0.01^{+0.09}_{-0.07} +/- 0.05.

description: For years the Institute of Marketing at Szent István University has been conducting research in customer and consumer behaviour. This research project focuses on which food shops retail customers choose when it comes to traditional food. This paper briefly summarizes qualitative findings and offers a preliminary analysis of the project’s quantitative stage. Using six focus groups, the qualitative phase tried to identify factors that impact on how food retail shops were chosen. The goal was to pinpoint individual steps in the decision-making process. Shops selected for study were: hypermarkets, supermarkets, discount stores, small shops, markets, specialised stores and cash & carry stores. Following this, using data from the qualitative results, a national representative survey was conducted. The survey used a standardised questionnaire with 1,019 subjects. The survey concentrated on hypermarket customers, as well as identifying this customer group’s segments, and analysing their decision-making traits.

Telling the wilderness : a study in the narrative formation of self and world
Creators: name: Morton, Elizabeth S
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis relates three subjects of inquiry - the nature and function of narrative, the formation and maintenance of individual and communal identity, and the construction of the human cosmos and the places within it - to develop a theory of the function of narrative in the construction of the human self and world. This theoretical framework is applied to the world projected by the Hebrew Bible, and, in particular, to the role of wilderness places within this cosmos. Wilderness is examined by means of the concept of "liminality," as that concept has been developed by Arnold van Gennep and Victor Turner. The thesis concludes with an examination of the rabbinic rite of Passover, and argues that this rite utilizes a narrative of wilderness journey to enable contemporary participants to integrate the chaos and disorderliness of everyday life in a healthy and productive way, according to the pattern of a shared myth. The integration of life experience according to the shared myth brings about the self-identification of the individual with the larger community, and provides the community with an understanding of itself sufficient to sustain itself through the coming year.
