description: We have used the Low Resolution Imaging Spectrograph (LRIS) on the W.M. Keck I telescope to obtain spatially resolved spectroscopy of a small sample of six post-starburst and three dusty-starburst galaxies in the rich cluster CL0016+16 at z=0.55. We use this to measure radial profiles of the Hdelta and OII3727 lines which are diagnostic probes of the mechanisms that give rise to the abrupt changes in star-formation rates in these galaxies. In the post-starburst sample we are unable to detect any radial gradients in the Hdelta line equivalent width - although one galaxy exhibits a gradient from one side of the galaxy to the other. The absence of Hdelta gradients in these galaxies is consistent with their production via interaction with the intra-cluster medium, however, our limited spatial sampling prevents us from drawing robust conclusions. All members of the sample have early type morphologies, typical of post-starburst galaxies in general, but lack the high incidence of tidal tails and disturbances seen in local field samples. This argues against a merger origin and adds weight to a scenario where truncation by the intra-cluster medium is at work. The post-starburst spectral signature is consistent over the radial extent probed with no evidence of OII3727 emission and strong Hdelta absorption at all radii i.e. the post-starburst classification is not an aperture effect. In contrast the dusty-starburst sample shows a tendency for a central concentration of OII3727 emission. This is most straightforwardly interpreted as the consequence of a central starburst. However, other possibilities exist such as a non-uniform dust distribution (which is expected in such galaxies) and/or a non-uniform starburst age distribution. The sample exhibit late type and irregular morphologies.

The Restructuring of the Venezuelan State and State Theory

Year: 2021

description: A central objective of this article is to examine the restructuring of the state apparatuses and decision-making processes of economically 'small' and politically 'weak' nation-states as they adjust to the emerging global economic and social order. We focus most specifically on the impact of the above-mentioned projects on two different state restructuring projects - one 'endogenous' the other 'exogenous' - of the Venezuelan Ministry of Agriculture (MAC) and related agencies. ?In our analysis, we find that the reorganization of state systems is determined both by structural forces - a particular 'logic of capital' - and by conjunctural factors and contingencies such as the particular balance of social forces and institutional structure present at each juncture. Transnational forces enhance the complex determinacy of state power and autonomy, but their effect is far from clear at this point. We conclude that globalization theory may have been too quick in its generalizations about the current and future fate of the nation-state. The restructuring of current state forms is a highly heterogeneous and contingent process, suggesting the need for a substantial dialog between additional research and formulation of state theory.

State and Devolution: Economic Crises and the Devolution of U.S. Superstate Power
Creators: name: Schaeffer, Robert
Publisher: name: The International Journal of Sociology of Agriculture and Food
Year: 2021

description: This paper examines the incorporation of superstate power by U.S. state organizations after World War Two and the subsequent 'devolution' or transfer of U.S. authority to superstate organizations in response to contemporary economic crisis. After analyzing the crises that let to the devolution of U.S. agricultural and monetary authority, the paper discusses the implication of these developments for a theory of states in the interstate system, arguing that the seizure of state power may no longer be a useful or relevant objective for social movements.

Globalization, the State and the Labor Process
Creators: name: H. Friedland, William
Publisher: name: The International Journal of Sociology of Agriculture and Food
Year: 2021

description: After defining key terms, state and labor processes in pre-globalization capitalism are examined and the nation-state is found to be the key constraining element in state imperatives of accumulation, legitimation, and mediation of class conflict. In the globalization period, the labor processes in four commodity systems - automobiles, petroleum, sugar, and bananas - are compared. The main changes in labor processes in agricullure during globalization involve the elaboration of the division of labor and combined and uneven development. Both are examined in the context of several agricultural commodities. It is concluded that globalization creates greater degrees of freedom from the constraint of nation-states for capital to install new labor processes.

description: Following a review of the literature on the State and some of the basic features of global post-Fordism, it is maintained that global post-Fordism can be synthesized through a set of four dialectical relationships: deregulation/re-regulation, fragmentation/coordination, mobility/embeddedness and empowerment/disempowerment. Moreover, it is argued that: 1) the State in global post-Fordism cannot be thought of exclusively in national terms; 2) its re-conceptualization must entail a transnational dimension; 3) the State cannot be conceptualized exclusively in terms of formal public appearances, agents and agencies; and 4) non-public apparatuses, agents and agencies must be included in the analysis.

Collective Efficiency: Mezcal Production and the Clustering of Small Firms
Creators: name: Verschoor, Gerard
Publisher: name: The International Journal of Sociology of Agriculture and Food
Year: 2021

description: Neoliberalism, industrial reconstruction and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) increasingly dictate the character and the agenda of Mexico's economic policy in the 1990s. Recognizing the importance and potential of the small firm sector within this framework, the Salinas and Zedillo Administrations have strongly supported economic activities once labelled as 'informal' or belonging to the 'black market'. Despite strong support, however, there is a great dearth in studies that address the phenomenon of accelerated expansion of the small-scale enterprise sector. The present article examines this problematic from a flexible specialization perspective. Against an historical background, the author offers an account of the expansion of mezcal production by small-scale enterprises clustered in a micro region of the State of Jalisco. The central argument is that the relative success of the mezcal sector can be understood through the concepts of 'clustering' and 'collective efficiency'. Through these concepts, the author throws some light on a form of production organization in which a gradual increase in the division of labour has brought about a flexible type of manufacture. This flexible and otherwise viable production form is characterized by a fragmentation of the labour process into a multiplicity of individual producers, input suppliers, etc. This has enabled rapid changes along the web of vertical and horizontal relationships of mezcal producers and, in turn, allowed for quick changes in production levels. The article concludes by stating that the emergence of flexible forms of artisanal production - like in the case of mezcal - is relevant at a macro-economic level for three reasons. First, because of its relative independence from complex, sophisticated and expensive technology. Second, because of the creation of new forward and backward linkages. Finally, because networks of small, flexible firms are less prone to be affected by the disruptive economic conditions that characterize this era of globalization

L'utilizzo della biografia femminile all'interno della didattica della storia come strumento per la decostruzione di stereotipi di genere

description: Questo studio indaga l’utilizzo della biografia femminile durante le lezioni di storia come strumento per decostruire stereotipi di genere. Condotta in tre classi di seconda media, la ricerca adotta un approccio misto e impiega diversi metodi di indagine, tra cui questionari iniziali e finali e un diario di bordo. Tali strumenti sono finalizzati a raccogliere dati sia qualitativi che quantitativi riguardanti gli stereotipi di genere presenti nelle classi coinvolte. Come emerso dai risultati, il percorso didattico basato sulla figura dell’Imperatrice Teodora (500 d.C.-548 d.C.) si è rivelato efficace nel decostruire alcuni preconcetti esistenti tra le allieve e gli allievi. In particolare, si è registrato un aumento del numero di studenti e studentesse che non associano specifiche caratteristiche di personalità ad un genere specifico, e una maggiore percentuale di ragazzi e ragazze che si dichiara in disaccordo con alcuni luoghi comuni riguardanti i ruoli tradizionalmente attribuiti ad una donna o ad un uomo. Questo lavoro dimostra pertanto chiaramente il potenziale delle biografie femminili nell’insegnamento della storia come strumento di riflessione per educare al genere. Attraverso l’analisi delle vite e delle azioni di donne che hanno sfidato il ruolo che culturalmente veniva loro attribuito, le/i discenti sono infatti stimolati a riflettere criticamente sugli stereotipi presenti nella società contemporanea, promuovendo così una cittadinanza attiva basata sul rispetto e sull’uguaglianza di genere.

description: We theoretically investigate the non-radiative heat transfer between two photonic crystals separated by a small gap in non-equilibrium thermal situation. We predict that the surface Bloch states coupling supported by these media can make heat exchanges larger than those measured at the same separation distance between two massive homogeneous materials made with the elementary components of photonic crystals. These results could find broad applications in near-field technologies.

description: In this work, the effect of the regulatory protein RecX on the conformational states of the nucleoprotein filament formed by the RecA protein on single-stranded DNA is investigated. Using a combination of optical tweezers and a five-channel microfluidic flow system, the transitions between the active and inactive conformations of the RecA nucleoprotein filament in the presence of the RecX protein are analyzed. The rate constants of the transition between states in the absence and the presence of the regulatory protein RecX are compared, and a numerical assessment of the effect of RecX on the rate of transition from the inactive to the active conformation is carried out.
A new tool for image analysis based on Chebyshev rational functions: CHEF functions

description: We introduce a new approach to the modelling of the light distribution of galaxies, an orthonormal polar base formed by a combination of Chebyshev rational functions and Fourier polynomials that we call CHEF functions, or CHEFs. We have developed an orthonormalization process to apply this basis to pixelized images, and implemented the method as a Python pipeline. The new basis displays remarkable flexibility, being able to accurately fit all kinds of galaxy shapes, including irregulars, spirals, ellipticals, highly compact and highly elongated galaxies. It does this while using fewer components that similar methods, as shapelets, and without producing artifacts, due to the efficiency of the rational Chebyshev polynomials to fit quickly decaying functions like galaxy profiles. The method is lineal and very stable, and therefore capable of processing large numbers of galaxies in a fast and automated way. Due to the high quality of the fits in the central parts of the galaxies, and the efficiency of the CHEF basis modeling galaxy profiles up to very large distances, the method provides highly accurate estimates of total galaxy fluxes and ellipticities. Future papers will explore in more detail the application of the method to perform multiband photometry, morphological classification and weak shear measurements.

Antenna array design, beam calibration of the CHIME to measure the late-time cosmic acceleration and mapping of the north celestial cap
Creators: name: Deng, Meiling
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: Measurements indicate that at present the expansion of the universe is accelerating even though the long-distance gravitational force is attractive. To help understand this late-time cosmic acceleration, the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) is designed to measure the Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) scale, therefore the expansion history of the universe in the redshift range 0.8 < z < 2.5. CHIME is a transit interferometer consisting of linear antenna arrays at the focal line of each of the four north-south aligned cylindrical reflectors. As the earth rotates, CHIME maps half of the sky every day. A dual-polarized cloverleaf antenna array illuminates the full reflector and is designed to match the LNA so that its effective noise is about 25 Kelvin across both the frequency domain and the scanning angle domain for both polarizations. To separate the cosmic 21cm signal from the 10⁵ times brighter Galactic foreground, we need to calibrate the CHIME beam to 0.1%. We have developed both measurement programs and simulation programs for this goal. With limitations found on both, the crosstalk approach to combine measurements and simulations together has been successful to calibrate the CHIME beam's north-south profile to 5%. We are still working on improving this approach for higher accuracy and larger coverage. As a pathfinder to map the whole northern hemisphere for better understanding and removal of the CHIME foreground and for galactic science, the north celestial cap has been mapped from 400 MHz to 800 MHz in the declination range [75 degree, 87.25 degree] using the John A. Galt telescope and the CHIME receiver with gated noise source. The intensity maps at 408 MHz are found to be consistent with the Haslam map, except with fluctuations up to 3 kelvins. Because this fluctuation does not generally decrease with frequency while the sky signal does, the intensity map quality at the higher band is degraded. The spectrum of the north celestial cap is measured from intensity maps with fitted spectral index varying from -2.8 to -3.1. The polarization maps are not available for science yet and the telescope instrumental polarization needs to be calibrated in the future.
Subtraction of Bright Point Sources from Synthesis Images of the Epoch of Reionization

description: Bright point sources associated with extragalactic AGN and radio galaxies are an important foreground for low frequency radio experiments aimed at detecting the redshifted 21cm emission from neutral hydrogen during the epoch of reionization. The frequency dependence of the synthesized beam implies that the sidelobes of these sources will move across the field of view as a function of observing frequency, hence frustrating line-of-sight foreground subtraction techniques. We describe a method for subtracting these point sources from dirty maps produced by an instrument such as the MWA. This technique combines matched filters with an iterative centroiding scheme to locate and characterize point sources in the presence of a diffuse background. Simulations show that this technique can improve the dynamic range of EOR maps by 2-3 orders of magnitude.

Globalisation, Regionalisation and Quality:The Socio-economic Reconstitution of Food in the San Francisco Valley, Brazil

Publisher: name: The International Journal of Sociology of Agriculture and Food
Year: 2021

description: This paper contributes to debates concerning the globalisation and regionalisation of agriculture and food with reference to the dynamic development of the San Francisco Valley in Brazil. The quantitative regulation of production of fruits is matched by international requirements for food quality. The regulation of food quality, operating in and through food networks, needs to be seen in the context of trade-offs with aspects of labour and environmental quality issues. By integrating these with the analysis, the paper begins to demonstrate how globalised food networks embed themselves into specific agrarian spaces. These processes begin to socially and environmentally shape agricultural regions. Hence, the social and the natural have to be examined as integrated dynamics in the shaping of such 'new agrarian spaces' as the San Francisco Valley.

Agricultural Trade, Firms and the State: Extrapolations From the Case of Japanese Beef Imports
Creators: name: A. Jussaume Jr., Raymond
Publisher: name: The International Journal of Sociology of Agriculture and Food
Year: 2021

description: Until a tariffication policy on beef imports was implemented on April 1, 1991, the Japanese government played a direct role in managing beef imports into that country through it's quasi-independent subsidiary, the livestock Industry Promotion Corporation. Liberalization substantially reduced the role of the Japanese government in regulating beef imports by permitting Japanese and American firms to trade with one another directly. Yet, in spite of this change, many academics and journalists continue to describe the trade of beef that flows from the United States and other countries into Japan as though it takes place between countries, rather than between the organizations that organize the production, trading and marketing of beef. Building upon a review of the theoretical discussions about the relationship between firms and markets, as well as globalization and the transformation in the global economy from fordism to postfordism, this study analyses the establishment of business ties between Japanese and non-Japanese firms, including a case study of how American producers are attempting to produce Japanese-style Wagyu beef in order to gain a foothold in the Japanese market. These data demonstrate the need to employ an analytical approach in the social sciences for examining international trade that conceptualizes trade as taking place between firms and not in unregulated markets across international boundaries.

description: Transport measurements indicate strong oscillations in the Hall-,$R_{xy}$, and the diagonal-, $R_{xx}$, resistances and exhibit Hall plateaus at the lowest temperatures, in three-dimensional Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite (HOPG). At the same time, a comparative Shubnikov-de Haas-oscillations-based Berry's phase analysis indicates that graphite is unlike the GaAs/AlGaAs 2D electron system, the 3D n-GaAs epilayer, semiconducting $Hg_{0.8}Cd_{0.2}Te$, and some other systems. Finally, we observe the transport data to follow $B\times dR_{xy}/dB \approx - ΔR_{xx}$. This feature is consistent with the observed relative phases of the oscillatory $R_{xx}$ and $R_{xy}$.

Unconventional magnets in external magnetic fields
Creators: name: Moessner, R.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This short review surveys phenomena observed when a magnetic field is applied to a system of localised spins on a lattice. Its focus is on frustrated magnets in dimension $d \geq 2$. The interplay of field and entropy is illustrated in the context of their unusual magnetocaloric properties, where field-tuned degeneracies assert themselves. Magnetisation plateaux can reveal the physics of fluctuations, with unusual excitations (such as local modes, extended string defects or monopoles) involved in plateau termination. Field-tuning lattice geometry is the final topic, where mechanisms for dimensional reduction and conversion between different lattice types are discussed.

Sweet and Sour: The Dynamics of Sugar Cane Agriculture
Creators: name: Drummond, Ian
Publisher: name: The International Journal of Sociology of Agriculture and Food
Year: 2021

description: This paper examines the recent development of two cane sugar industries, those of Barbados and Australia, and considers how and why sugar production has tended to become increasingly problematic in both of these cases. The problems of nationally based sugar industries are commonly explained by reference to the volatile and depressed state of the global sugar economy or in terms of the relative efficiency and cost competitiveness of the industries concerned. Both of these factors are considered here, but the central theme of the paper revolves around the ways in which two very different production systems have themselves generated contradictions and barriers to their own reproduction. Strategies promoted to address these contradictions have tended to be imperfect and temporary. Moreover they have also tended to involve the increasingly severe exploitation of both environmental and human resources. Insights from regulation theory are used to define a context within which events in these industries are understood as outcomes which reflect not just structural mechanisms and contingent factors, but also the processes of structuration which link these. The final section of the paper considers the significance of this analysis to wider issues such as sustainability and regulation of sugar production at both international and national scales.

Tecniche microscopiche per lo studio della pittura murale. Applicazione a dipinti di epoca romanica del Canton Ticino
Creators: name: Regazzoni, Lucia
Publisher: name: Scuola Universitaria della Svizzera Italiana (SUPSI)
Year: 2015

description: Il principale obiettivo della tesi è stato quello di applicare le tecniche microscopiche per lo studio della pittura murale di epoca romanica, prendendo come casi studio cinque fra dipinti e frammenti archologici presenti in territorio ticinese, appartenenti a periodo del romanico lombardo. Il riconoscimento delle tecniche pittoriche impiegate è avvenuto attraverso l’osservazione simultanea al microscopio ottico in luce riflessa e al microscopio elettronico (SEM-EDS), di campioni prelevati dalle superfici dipinte. Le tecniche sono state individuate attraverso alcuni caratteri microscopici che presentano differenze morfologiche e composizionali a seconda del legante pittorico e delle modalità d’esecuzione impiegate.

Sustainable Development and Agriculture in the Third World
Creators: name: Henke, Roberto
name: Zappacosta, Mario
Publisher: name: The International Journal of Sociology of Agriculture and Food
Year: 2021

description: The main objective of this paper is to analyse the various definitions of the "sustainable development" concept, and to investigate its real contribution as a "new paradigm" of development. It is analyzed the way traditional approaches consider the sustainability problem as well as the contributions of the alternative currents which, being often out of the development discourse, make an attempt of "deconstruction". Different meanings of sustainability in agriculture are analysed for the particular case of developing countries, showing that under that label there are diverse ways of understanding the role of the agricultural sector in economic development. It is concluded that the concept of sustainable development, due to its own indeterminate nature and to its potential to rethink the traditional strategies for development, only represents a formal attempt to remodernize the old approaches to development problems.

Beekeepers in the Global 'Fair Trade' Market: A Case from Tabora Region, Tanzania
Creators: name: Fisher, Eleanor
Publisher: name: The International Journal of Sociology of Agriculture and Food
Year: 2021

description: This paper presents a case study that examines the importance of the international 'fair trade' market in honey and beeswax from western Tanzania. Ethnographic research was carried out with producer members of an association known as the 'Tabora Beekeepers Cooperative Society Ltd'. Based on this data, the author examines producer decision-making in relation to market options for produce - local, regional and international. One of the fundamental concepts underlying the notion of 'fair trade' is that producers can gain a high price for goods that they have produced on terms favourable to themselves. It is argued that fair or alternative trade retail outlets in Europe enable consumers to buy goods believing that the goods have been produced and sold in ways that are in keeping with their desire to promote global relations of justice, equity and development; by buying goods in this way consumption is embued with new meanings. However, based on the example of the Tanzanian beekeeper's cooperative, it is argued that the concept of 'fair' may be meaningless for producers, having been taken out of context; what is most important is that beekeepers have an international market for their produce, enabling them to achieve various ends in life, potentially fair trading may assist them to do this in ways more favourable than provided by other international markets. The case study demonstrates that a commodity like honey can be a vehicle around which development can be constructed in new ways. Honey and wax embody a multiplicity of values and become mediums that allow diverse individual actors to perform different roles in the fair trade network. But fair trade does not provide an alternative to the globalising tendencies of development and to modernisation per se.

Globalization and Food Objects
Creators: name: Arce, Alberto
Publisher: name: The International Journal of Sociology of Agriculture and Food
Year: 2021

description: This paper examines the notion of global consciousness that is associated with the concept of globalisation. In analyses of globalisation we are confronted by a paradoxical problem: should we privilege a spatial mode of analysis, or, in contrast, the 'shift' from industrial society to a communicational/informational world? While many commentators agree that an important challenge is to develop interpretations relevant to processes of change that are taking place in the world, the issue is how to combine the study of individual's social practices and experiences but at the same time adequately incorporate an understanding of how these processes are shared with other individuals. It is argued that individuals mediate and organise the often conflicting information they receive, this information is then re-worked through their social practices. From this perspective the globalisation concept does not provide us with a systematic and holistic vision, but instead the global image generates a diversity of personal visions of the world. This is problematic and raises at least two important questions: can globalisation as a concept endure in rural sociology? Can it do more than simply communicate the feeling that something is rather different in the world? The paper attempts to make a contribution towards the way in which global processes are re-conceptualised in sociology by taking the task of analysing people's contemporary practices in order to elaborate an interpretation of how 'modernity' is put to work. In doing so, the paper studies how actors translate into practice new globally orientated economic ventures, using the illustration of how the consumption of food objects takes place, it stresses how processes of 'objectivisation' arise among consumers. In this, the issue of global transformation of agriculture is a consequence of this phenomena. The d1scussion demonstrates that the main element constructing the social, technical and economic 'reality' of fresh vegetable and fruit consumption should be sought in the ways that consumers, retailers and producers have actively engaged in actuallsing the global flows of these commodities whllst creating a multiplicity of interconnections that shape patterns of consumption, the environment and the organisation of social life in different zones of the globe.

Agro-industrial Complexes and Globalisation: Transformations in the Articulation of the Agrarian Sector
Creators: name: Gras, Carla
Publisher: name: The International Journal of Sociology of Agriculture and Food
Year: 2021

description: The paper examines the on-going changes in agro-industries in Argentina in the context of the new economic world order. It focuses on the transformations in one particular segment of agro-industrial systems: that which connects producers to industrial and/ or commercial agents, exploring the new conditions in which the relations between these agents are being carried out. In recent years - specially since the late eighties - Argentinean agro-industries are undergoing deep changes related to macro-economic processes which are connected to the globalization of economies. In this context, the mechanisms of agro-industrial articulation, which had characterized the development of agro-industrial complexes during the last decades, are being redefined. How are these mechanisms changing? What effects do they have on agriculture, particularly in terms of the social and economic conditions under which producers are producing? Our analysis takes one important agro-industrlal regional activity as a case: tobacco.
