description: In this paper, we analyze why grain elevator operators tend to hedge hard red winter wheat at the CBoT and not at the KCBoT. They do so because they trade not only the basis but also the premium risk. Like the basis, also premiums of hard red winter wheat have a tendency to increase after harvest. Only a short hedge in the lower priced CBoT wheat contract makes it possible to participate in a post-harvest premium increase. For this reason, grain elevator operators favor a loose hedge at the CBoT. Our results underscore the importance of premium risk for hedging decisions.

Caught Between Two Worlds: Conception of Giftedness in the Dumagat-Remontados Culture of Paglitao

description: This research effort is a preliminary study about the concept of giftedness of the Dumagat-Remontados of Paglitao. The researchers used indigenous methods of research such as pakapa-kapa, pagtatanong-tanong and pakikipagkwentuhan to elicit tentative but authentic results from the tribe informants. Apparently, the linearity of research expectations became fluid in the process as a validation of indigenous research. The topics outlined initially, for instance, include indigenous definition of giftedness, origin of giftedness and its conception, and a Dumagat term for giftedness. Although the outline was maintained in this paper, the research method had gradual modifications as new insights are introduced in the research proceedings. This study corroborated that diverse forms of giftedness exist in many cultures in the Philippines. Apart from extraordinary academic intelligence or any scholastic talents, it is highly demonstrated in the Dumagat-Remontados that healing, psychic, moral, and spiritual prowess are some of these gifts. Having identified such diverse gifts, however, agimat appeared to be the central code in the informants’ ideas about the nature of giftedness. But the utility of agimat is both cultivated and innate – blurring the dichotomy of the Mystery and Mastery Model of Giftedness. The study ends with the recommendation for a cultural reaffirmation even in the conceptions of giftedness. This entails a culture-fair literature on one hand and an inclusive education on the other that could further broaden the categories of the way giftedness is conceptualized.

description: This study presents the multi-wavelength investigation of the absolute magnitudes and colours of the red clump (RC) stars selected from APOGEE and GALAH DR2 combined catalogue which is complemented with {\it Gaia} DR2 astrometric data and multi-wavelength photometric data of {\it GALEX} GR6/7, SDSS DR7, {\it Gaia} DR2, 2MASS and {\it WISE} sky surveys. The analyses are centred on the different distance estimation methods using {\it Gaia} trigonometric parallaxes, (1/$\varpi$) and Bayes statistics, and chemically defined Galactic disc populations on [$α$/Fe]$\times$[Fe/H] plane. Such investigation questions the long studied problem of the population effects on RC luminosity. Using two different distance estimation approach, (i) chemical thin and chemical thick disc RC stars are shown to have different absolute magnitudes, while colours remain the same in all photometric bands. Absolute magnitudes vary between -0.12 and +0.13 mag for the 1/$\varpi$ with the change of the Galactic population. This variation in absolute magnitudes is found to be larger for the other method. (ii) The Besan\c con population synthesis model of Galaxy for 2MASS photometry, in which the absolute magnitude difference between chemical populations were found between -0.35 and -0.40 mag from thin disc to thick disc. When results compared with each other, differences of absolute magnitudes are about three times larger in the model than observations. We confirm that the RC absolute magnitudes depend on $α$-element abundances of Galactic populations.

Our study expands the relationship of EI and food choices of consumers and shows how this relationship is heterogeneous across consumers.
Fluctuation-dissipation relation and the Edwards entropy for a glassy granular compaction model
Creators: name: Depken, Martin

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We analytically study a one dimensional compaction model in the glassy regime. Both correlation and response functions are calculated exactly in the evolving dense and low tapping strength limit, where the density relaxes in a $1/\ln t$ fashion. The response and correlation functions turn out to be connected through a non-equilibrium generalisation of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. The initial response in the average density to an increase in the tapping strength is shown to be negative, while on longer timescales it is shown to be positive. On short time scales the fluctuation-dissipation theorem governs the relation between correlation and response, and we show that such a relationship also exists for the slow degrees of freedom, albeit with a different temperature. The model is further studied within the statistical theory proposed by Edwards and co-workers, and the Edwards entropy is calculated in the large system limit. The fluctuations described by this approach turn out to match the fluctuations as calculated through the dynamical consideration. We believe this to be the first time these ideas have been analytically confirmed in a non-mean-field model.

description: The aim of this paper is to present new archaeological data coming from the recent excavations in Adulis (Eritrea) in the so-called “Church of the British Museum”, discovered in 1868 by Captain Goodfellow. New excavations that began in 2018 have led to highlight the biggest church known so far in Adulis, probably the ecclesia episcopalis. It stands as a 30 meters long building, which follows the typical Aksumite architectural layout. Also, the great quantity of decorated marbles coming from the church are of great interest, revealing important contacts with Yemen and Byzantium, mostly in the 6th century AD. The new archaeological data will be contextualized in the wider scenario of the rise and establishment of early Christianity in the Aksumite kingdom, until the arrival of Islam.
A stream of hypervelocity stars from the Galactic Center

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: Recent observations have found a 1700 km/s star [S5-HVS1] that was ejected from the Galactic Center approximately five million years ago. This star was likely produced by tidal disruption of a binary. In particular, the Galactic Center contains a few million year old stellar disk that could excite binaries to nearly radial orbits via a secular gravitational instability. Such binaries would be disrupted by the central supermassive black hole, and would also explain the observed cluster of B stars ~0.01 pc from the Galactic Center. In this paper we predict S5-HVS1 is part of a larger stream, and use observationally motivated N-body simulations to predict its spatial and velocity distribution.

description: In recent decades grape production has been developing in some municipalities in Northeastern Brazil as a well-organised, competitive and high value industry. Although so far a few municipalities are involved, the Northeastern viticultural industry has become a model for the whole Brazil and has been identified as a production district. Given the importance of agriculture in the economy of the region our study aims at analysing whether the grape producing activity affects some socio-economic indicators, namely the Theil index, the Human Development Index (HDI) and the unemployment rate over the period 2000-2010. The study is focused on the Northeastern states of Bahia and Pernambuco, two of the poorest and with the highest income inequality among Brazilian States and combines the Difference-in-Differences with the Propensity Score matching method at the municipality level. Results seems to indicate that grape growing plays an important role to guarantee a fairer income distribution. Indeed, the municipalities that grow grape experience a decrease in the level of Theil index by 11.7% compared to the level they would have if they had not participate in grape production. No effect has been found on the HDI and on the unemployment rate. Results are robust to the potential presence of an hidden bias according to the Rosenbaum sensitivity analysis.

Risk Aversion And Pesticide Use: Further Insights From Prospect Theory

Subjects: subject: Environmental Economics and Policy

subject: Reference point

description: Prospect Theory suggests that farmers’ attitudes toward pest risks depend on the situation they refer to when facing crop protection decisions. Farmers referring to the ‘protected crop’ situation may implement self-insurance pesticide treatments while farmers referring to the ‘unprotected crop’ situation are risk neutral toward pest risks. Importantly, farmers are more likely to refer to the ‘protected crop’ situation when pesticides are relatively inexpensive. This in turn leads to original results related to the regulation of agricultural pesticide uses. For instance, pesticide taxes would not only impact pesticide expected profitability but also farmers’ attitude toward pest risks.

description: We present results on the isovector momentum fraction, $\langle x \rangle_{u-d}$, helicity moment, $\langle x \rangle_{Δu-Δd}$, and the transversity moment, $\langle x \rangle_{δu-δd}$, of the nucleon obtained using nine ensembles of gauge configurations generated by the MILC collaboration using $2+1+1$-flavors of dynamical highly improved staggered quarks (HISQ). The correlation functions are calculated using the Wilson-Clover action and the renormalization of the three operators is carried out nonperturbatively on the lattice in the RI${}^\prime$-MOM scheme. The data have been collected at lattice spacings $a \approx 0.15,\ 0.12,\ 0.09,$ and 0.06 fm and $M_π\approx 310,\ 220$ and 135 MeV, which are used to obtain the physical values using a simultaneous chiral-continuum-finite-volume fit. The final results, in the $\overline{MS}$ scheme at 2 GeV, are $\langle x \rangle_{u-d} = 0.173(14)(07)$, $\langle x \rangle_{Δu-Δd} = 0.213(15)(22)$ and $\langle x \rangle_{δu-δd} = 0.208(19)(24)$, where the first error is the overall analysis uncertainty and the second is an additional systematic uncertainty due to possible residual excited-state contributions. These results are consistent with other recent lattice calculations and phenomenological global fit values.

description: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to generate a theory grounded in data explaining caregivers’ understanding of their child’s language disorder and the perceived role of speech-language pathologists in facilitating this knowledge.Method: This study employed grounded theory as a conceptual framework. Qualitative data were generated based on semistructured interviews conducted with 12 mothers of children who had received speech-language pathology services.Results: The following themes emerged from the data analysis: (a) Many mothers reported receiving confusing or irrelevant diagnostic terms for language disorder, (b) mothers of children with language disorders were distressed about their children’s language problems, (c) mothers did not always trust or understand their children’s speech-language pathologist, and (d) mothers were satisfied with the interventions their child had been receiving. Mothers described their children’s language disorder using a total of 23 labels, most of which were not useful for accessing meaningful information about the nature of their child’s communication problem. Generally, mothers reported they did not receive language-related diagnostic labels from speech-language pathologists for their child’s language disorder.Conclusions: Two theories were generated from the results: (a) Lack of information provided to mothers about their child’s language disorder causes mothers psychological harm that appears to be long lasting. (b) Difficulties in successfully relaying information about language disorders to parents result in negative perceptions of speech-language pathology. Implications and future directions are discussed.

description: We examine various well known exact solutions available in the literature to investigate the recent criterion obtained in ref. [20] which should be fulfilled by any static and spherically symmetric solution in the state of hydrostatic equilibrium. It is seen that this criterion is fulfilled only by (i) the regular solutions having a vanishing surface density together with the pressure, and (ii) the singular solutions corresponding to a non-vanishing density at the surface of the configuration . On the other hand, the regular solutions corresponding to a non-vanishing surface density do not fulfill this criterion. Based upon this investigation, we point out that the exterior Schwarzschild solution itself provides necessary conditions for the types of the density distributions to be considered inside the mass, in order to obtain exact solutions or equations of state compatible with the structure of general relativity. The regular solutions with finite centre and non-zero surface densities which do not fulfill the criterion [20], in fact, can not meet the requirement of the `actual mass' set up by exterior Schwarzschild solution. The only regular solution which could be possible in this regard is represented by uniform (homogeneous) density distribution. The criterion [20] provides a necessary and sufficient condition for any static and spherical configuration (including core-envelope models) to be compatible with the structure of general relativity. Thus, it may find application to construct the appropriate core-envelope models of stellar objects like neutron stars and may be used to test various equations of state for dense nuclear matter and the models of relativistic stellar structures like star clusters.

We determine the regime in which the theory flows to a local theory in the infrared and study a possible UV completion of four-dimensional QED. In addition, we find that there exist non-local conformal theories with a one-dimensional conformal manifold and non-local deformations of QED in three dimensions that are exactly marginal. Along the way we develop methods for coupling non-local derivatives to external sources and discuss unitarity and conformal vs. scale invariance of these theories.

description: Millions of smallholder farmers in developing countries participate in different types of sustainability standards. A growing body of literature has analyzed the welfare effects of such participation, with mixed results. Yet, there are important knowledge gaps. First, most existing studies look at the effects of one standard in one country. When comparing between studies it is not clear whether dissimilar outcomes are driven by differences in standards or local conditions. Second, most studies use cross-section, observational data, so that selectivity issues remain a challenge. Third, the existing work has primarily analyzed effects in terms of purely economic indicators, such as income, ignoring other dimensions of household welfare. We address these shortcomings using panel data from small-scale coffee producers in Uganda and comparing the effects of two of the most popular sustainability standards, namely Organic and Fairtrade. Welfare effects are analyzed in terms of household expenditures, child education, and nutrition. Results show that Organic and Fairtrade both have positive effects on total consumption expenditures. However, notable differences are observed in terms of the other outcomes. Organic contributes to improved nutrition but has no effect on education. For Fairtrade it is exactly the other way around. We explore the mechanisms behind these differences.

description: While on the other hand, the tourism market exhibits extreme dynamism and a high level of competitiveness (World Economic Forum, 2013). Constant monitoring and evaluation of existing tourist offerings, as well as continuous efforts to raise the standard of the tourist offering and set new development goals, such as the extension of the tourist season, the development of tourism products that allow for the participation of a broader range of market segments, the further development of infrastructure, and so on, are required. Achieving this level of development requires coordination at all levels, from the local to the regional to the state level. It is believed that participants who create tourist offers for tourism destinations must engage in marketing activities to ensure that tourists and their expectations are met. It is also believed that the existing tourist offer for a tourism destination must be constantly adjusted concerning the selected market segment
Global Electroweak Fits and Gauge Coupling Unification

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The purpose of this paper is threefold: a) Check if the rather poor Standard Model (SM) fit to all electroweak data can be improved in its minimal supersymmetric extension (MSSM); b) Check what constraints present electroweak data has on the parameter space of the supergravity inspired Constrained MSSM (CMSSM); c) Check if with the present high precision of the gauge coupling constants exact gauge coupling unification is still possible. The value of tanβin the CMSSM is constrained to be above 6.5, while the value of the gaugino masses at the GUT scale has to be above 220 GeV, which corresponds to a lower limit on the lightest neutralino (chargino) of ca. 95 (175) GeV. It is shown that the larger values of α_s from R_l and \sinw from A_FB are consistent with perfect gauge unification. The low α_s value from the hadronic cross section is correlated with the fact that the number of neutrino flavours is 2σbelow the known value of 3 in the SM, which is shown to correspond to a 3sigma deviation in the hadronic cross section. Lowering sigma_{had} by 3sigma brings alpha_s up to 0.12 and N_nu up to 3.

description: In August 2012, the New York Stock Exchange launched the Retail Liquidity Program (RLP), a trading facility that enables participating organizations to quote dark limit orders executable only by retail traders. A Hasbrouck (1991) structural vector autoregression shows that the facility increased the information content of the order flow by distinguishing retail trades from relatively more informed trades. A differences-in-differences event study finds that the RLP launch impacted market quality. Stocks with substantial RLP activity experienced mildly improved relative bid-ask spreads, effective spreads, price impacts and return autocorrelations in both the RLP and non-RLP segments.

Nos modèles VAR structurels inspirés de Hasbrouck (1991) montrent que la séparation des opérations de détail de celles réalisées par des investisseurs plus avertis effectuée par ce dispositif accroît le contenu informatif des flux d’ordres. Par ailleurs, une étude événementielle fondée sur la méthode des doubles différences fait apparaître que le lancement du RLP a influé sur la qualité du marché en général. Pour les actions les plus activement négociées sur cette plateforme, on observe une légère amélioration des écarts relatifs entre les cours acheteur et vendeur, des écarts effectifs, de l’incidence sur les cours, et des coefficients d’autocorrélation des rendements, non seulement dans le segment RLP, mais aussi dans les autres segments de la Bourse de New York.

description: Understanding the contact between the very low-grade metagreywacke of the Eastern Series and high-pressure metamorphosed schist of the Western Series in the Late Palaeozoic accretionary wedge of central Chile is fundamental for the understanding of the evolution of ancient accretionary wedges. We show the progressive development of structures and finite strain from the least deformed rocks in the eastern part of the Eastern Series of the accretionary wedge to high-pressure schist of the Western Series at the Pacific coast. Upright chevron folds of sedimentary layering are associated with an axial-plane foliation, S1. As the F1 folds became slightly overturned to the west, S1 was folded about west-vergent open F2 folds and an S2 axial-plane foliation developed. Near the contact between the Western and Eastern Series S2 represents a penetrative subhorizontal transposition foliation. Towards the structurally deepest units in the west the transposition foliation becomes progressively flattened. Finite-strain data as obtained by Rf /ϕ analysis in metagreywacke and X-ray texture goniometry in phyllosilicate-rich rocks show a smooth and gradual increase in strain magnitude from east to west. Overturned folds and other shear-sense indicators show a uniform top-to-the-west shear sense in moderately deformed rocks, whereas the shear sense is alternating top-to-the-west and top-tothe- east in the strongly flattened high-pressure rocks of the Western Series near the Pacific coast. We interpret the progressive structural and strain evolution across the contact between the two series to reflect a continuous change in the mode of accretion in the subduction wedge. Initially, the rocks of the Eastern Series were frontally accreted to the pre-Andean margin before c. 300 Ma. Frontal accretion caused horizontal shortening, and upright folds and subvertical axial-plane foliations developed. At c. 300 Ma the mode of accretion changed and the rocks of the Western Series were underplated below the Andean margin. This basal accretion caused a major change in the flow field within the wedge and gave rise to vertical shortening and the development of the penetrative subhorizontal transposition foliation. Subsequent differential exhumation was resolved gradually over a wide region, implying that exhumation was not tectonically controlled.

description: This paper aims to contribute to the existing studies on interest groups’ influence on agricultural policies. The article uses a survey conducted with leaders and members of farmers’ associations to assess the tangible and intangible resources of these organizations in Poland, as well as the channels they use to influence agricultural policy. The results show that farmers’ associations in Poland may influence agricultural policy only to a small degree. This results from their insufficient resources, especially those that are useful for politicians (e.g. expert knowledge). The second obstacle stems from the lack of unity and cooperation between these associations.
Das Grönenbacher Feld: Ein Beispiel für Wandel und Fortschritt der Eiszeitforschung seit Albrecht Penck

Year: 1973

description: Die Untersuchung gilt dem Grönenbacher Feld, dem locus typicus für die Mindeleiszeit Pencks. Es ist in der bisher angenommenen Geschlossenheit weder geomorphologisch — als Schotterfeld — noch geologisch — als Jüngerer Deckenschotter — vorhanden, sondern besteht aus insgesamt 10 selbständigen Schotterterrassen. Nach ihrer Ausbildung, Lage und Erstreckung wird man auf voneinander getrennte Gletschervorstöße mit jeweils eigenem Erosions- und Akkumulationsablauf schließen müssen. Die zugehörige Altmoränenzone ist ebenso aus verschiedenen Stücken zusammengesetzt. Die Mindeleiszeit Pencks wäre danach eine an Eigenleben besonders reiche Eiszeitengruppe. Ein Novum der alpinen Eiszeitforschung.

title: Attribution theory and marriage guidance counselling
Creators: name: Roy, Jane Christine
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1988

description: This research is concerned with some aspects of the counselling process within Marriage Guidance Council Counselling sessions. The first area of investigation chosen was the interaction of the counsellors image of the ideal client with her perceived image of real clients. Unfortunately, it was not possible to pursue this investigation since not all of the counsellors images of who would benefit from counselling were sufficiently stable over time. This was felt to be due to the test used (the California Q set). The second chosen area of investigation was the client counsellor verbal interaction in first counselling sessions studied using transcripts of ten female and four male clients and two couples counselled by the researcher and one woman and one couple counselled by another counsellor. The content was analysed using attribution theory. Clients made attributions from a wider range of categories than experimental studies normally allow for, the most frequently used category was emotion and attitude attributions, this is a neglected category which needs further study. The results did not support previous findings that people make Significantly more situational than personality attributions about their own behaviour. Clients have response strategies they use to reply to the counsellor, some of these are blocking strategies since they result in the counsellor dropping the subject being discussed; others are positive responses since they lead to the client· and counsellor engaging in a dialogue. All clients living with their partners who returned for a second session engaged in at least one extended dialogue with the counsellor about an attribution made by the counsellor. None of the clients who failed to return engaged in an extended dialogue with the counsellor.
Die Bekämpfung des Hungers und der Streit um die Weltagrarmärkte in der Doha-Runde der WTO: Imperialistische Politik und ihre Kritiker
Creators: name: Frieling, Hans-Dieter Von
Publisher: name: FID GEO
Year: 2008

description: Die World Trade Organization (WTO) und besonders die Doha- Verhandlungen über die Weltagrarmärkte stehen vielfach in der Kritik, gegenüber der dringlichen Aufgabe zu versagen, den Hunger in der Welt zu bekämpfen. Zum einen wird eine Ausweitung des Freihandels gefordert und mit der ökonomischen Theorie von Ricardo begründet. Zum anderen werden ein gerechter, fairer Welthandel und ein Recht auf Ernährungssouveränität gefordert. Beide Standpunkte werden hier kritisiert. Sie unterstellen ein Politikversagen, das nicht erklären kann, warum Staaten Freihandel und Protektionismus betreiben. Zur Begründung der Kritik wird auf allgemeiner Ebene der Zusammenhang zwischen der Dynamik von Akkumulation und räumlicher Expansion in kapitalistischen Ökonomien und dem Interesse moderner Staaten am Außenhandel erörtert. Es wird dargelegt, in welcher Weise die Institution WTO ein Mittel imperialistischer Politik ist. Als konkrete Beispiele hierfür werden die Doha-Runde und der gegenwärtige Streit um den Agrarhandel untersucht. Sie zeigen die konkreten Ziele und Verlaufsformen imperialistischer Politik sowie die Rolle der WTO und der Weltmarktentwicklung in der Konkurrenz der Staaten um den abstrakten Reichtum, in der das (Über-)Leben der Hungernden nur als unattraktive Geschäftssphäre vorkommt.
On sgoldstino interpretation of HyperCP events

description: We discuss possible sgoldstino interpretation of the observation, reported by HyperCP collaboration, of three $Σ^+\to pμ^+μ^-$ decay events with dimuon invariant mass 214.3 MeV within detector resolution. We find that this interpretation is consistent in models with (i) parity conservation in sgoldstino interactions, (ii) pseudoscalar sgoldstino $P$ of mass 214 MeV and heavier scalar sgoldstino, and (iii) low supersymmetry breaking scale, \sqrt{F} = 2.5-60 TeV. In these models, sgoldstino can be observed in decays $K^+\toπ^+π^0 P$, $K_L\toππP$ and $K_S\toππP$ at the branching ratios of at least of order 10^{-12}, 10^{-8} and 10^{-11}, respectively. The model can be probed also at e^+e^- colliders in the channels $e^+e^-\toγP$ and $e^+e^-\to e^+e^-P$, where the cross section is likely to be in the range 1 pb - 5 ab.

Legalizing the racialization of Muslim : an anti-Orientalist discourse analysis of the Anti-terrorism Act of Canada
Creators: name: Patel, Shaista
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The central argument in this research is that the knowledges produced through the Antiterrorism Act naturalize the Orientalist construction of male Muslim bodies as threats to the nation, while simultaneously legitimizing the Canadian nation as white. This study disrupts the binary of the security versus civil liberties debates surrounding the dominant discourses about the Anti-terrorism Act. Using race, space and the law as critical tools of analysis, I examine the Orientalist rationalities underpinning the successful mobilization of the Antiterrorism Act as a "juridical discourse" of the Canadian nation. I read for the racialized power in the Act in order to argue that the seemingly neutral language of the Act disguises the way it represents the Orientalist construction of male Muslim bodies as inherently violent, and as a threat to the spaces of the white nation. Within this discussion, I also examine how the Orientalist imagining of Muslim women's bodies has been deployed by the Canadian state to reify the image of Muslim man as 'barbaric' and 'uncivilized'. I situate my analysis of the Act within the broader socio-political history of colonized Canada to argue that the Anti-terrorism Act is part of the historically racist and exclusionary discourses of the nation built on stolen land where mythologies of white supremacy are still rampant as official narratives of the nation.

description: We systematically study the low-temperature specific heats for the two-dimensional kagome antiferromagnet, Cu$_{3}$Zn(OH)$_6$FBr. The specific heat exhibits a $T^{1.7}$ dependence at low temperatures and a shoulder-like feature above it. We construct a microscopic lattice model of $Z_2$ quantum spin liquid and perform large-scale quantum Monte Carlo simulations to show that the above behaviors come from the contributions from gapped anyons and magnetic impurities. Surprisingly, we find the entropy associated with the shoulder decreases quickly with grain size $d$, although the system is paramagnetic to the lowest temperature. While this can be simply explained by a core-shell picture in that the contribution from the interior state disappears near the surface, the 5.9-nm shell width precludes any trivial explanations. Such a large length scale signifies the coherence length of the nonlocality of the quantum entangled excitations in quantum spin liquid candidate, similar to Pippard's coherence length in superconductors. Our approach therefore offers a new experimental probe of the intangible quantum state of matter with topological order.
