description: The aim of the study is to determine the level of financial standing of gminas, to evaluate differences thereof and to identify determinants influencing the level differences. An example of the Wielkopolska Province was used. Source material comes from the databases of the Ministry of Finance and the GUS Local Data Bank. In the first stage of the study, a synthetic financial measure was calculated using the TOPSIS method. The construction of this measure was preceded by the selection of indicators, whose dependence was checked by Ward’s method. In the second stage of the study, the characteristics of the separated groups of gminas were analyzed according to the level of financial standing. For this purpose selected descriptive statistics methods were used. The relation between the groups of level of financial standing and the groups of selected determinants was checked (Chi-squared test was used). The research has shown that the gminas in general feature average financial standing, which is determined by a location of gmina, type and the degree of technical infrastructure development. The gminas located next to a big city such as Poznań, are in the best financial situation while the outermost location limits the income potential of gminas, which adversely affects investment opportunities. This is not a prerequisite, however, as some gminas featuring lower financial independence also carry out numerous projects, albeit thanks to significant EU funding.

description: This study examines the generalizability of the triple vulnerability model of anxiety disorders by comparing prior empirical findings by Brown, Chorpita, and Barlow (1998) in a diverse non-clinical sample of Asian or Asian American, Hispanic or Latino, and Caucasian participants. Within the context of cross-cultural comparison, it contributes to the further development of a diathesis-stress model of social anxiety and worry by integrating the constructs of ethnic identity and perceived stress (Carter, Sbrocco, & Carter, 1996) to determine their potential influence on the expression of symptoms in each group. Confirmatory factor analysis, measurement invariance tests, and structural equation modeling are conducted to assess the original structural model, which posited causal pathways from the constructs of positive affect and negative affect to the anxiety symptoms, as well as associations among generalized anxiety and autonomic arousal. Results suggest that although the three groups possess equal form in their measurement models, they are generally not measurement invariant. Structural equation models point to the commonality of negative affect as a core vulnerability, while each group reveals specific differential relationships among other constructs and pathways to anxiety symptoms. Discussion attends to implications of our findings, as well as broader methodological and psychometric issues for cross-cultural comparisons.

description: We propose an experiment for directly constructing and locally probing topologically entangled states of superconducting vortices which can be performed with present-day technology. Calculations using an elastic string vortex model indicate that as the pitch (the winding angle divided by the vertical distance) increases, the vortices approach each other. At values of the pitch higher than a maximum value the entangled state becomes unstable to collapse via a singularity of the model. We provide predicted experimental signatures for both vortex entanglement and vortex cutting. The local probe we propose can also be used to explore a wide range of other quantities.

description: The article elaborates on key problems and trends as well as constraints and opportunities which are observed in the agriculture of the Persian Gulf monarchies of: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The Author tackles such problems as the influence of climate and geographic conditions on the development of agriculture in the above-mentioned states or the importance of water and land scarcity as limiting factors. The solutions which aim at minimizing negative effects of these factors are also included in the analysis. In the following sections of the article the Author describes the structure of agricultural land and the structure of agricultural production in the Gulf monarchies. Bearing in mind that agriculture should focus not only on its commercial function and economic dimension, the Author also pays much attention to its social and political aspects – which are important from both the perspective of the state policy as well as the daily life of its citizens. Due to the fact that all the monarchies of the Arabian Peninsula face food security problems, the relations between the agricultural production and food security are also the subject of the analysis. From the point of view of the Author, all the above-mentioned questions are of key importance for the agriculture of the GCC states.

description: Village renewal has been a broadly discussed problem in terms of changes observed in rural areas and development thereof. Despite its practical nature, village renewal has also been broadly studied by academics – research has been made, inter alia in Europe and the United States. Due to a regional character of these studies, different scientific approaches and aims, the meaning of “village renewal” was understood differently as well. The aims of the article are the following: to review foregoing ways of understanding the term in international literature, to present the evolution of the meaning of the term, to attempt to systematise it and to compare the mentioned interpretations with the definition of the term found in selected Polish literature. Therefore, the article is a literature review on the one hand and a theoretical analysis on the other hand. Systematic and narrative literature review methods have been applied. The analysis included more than 2000 scientific works available in key bibliographic databases and publishers’ online libraries. The literature review resulted in a development of a model of village renewal issues – in relation to village renewal dimensions, aims of the renewal pursued in each dimension and a paramount aim of the village renewal itself. Also, the article attempts to explain reasons behind the multitude of meanings of the term. Selected afterthoughts regarding the nature of the village renewal, based on the review conducted, have been presented in conclusion.

description: Modern agriculture has reached tremendous productivity and effectiveness; however, it very often happens that intensive production causes serious environmental concerns and compromises the quality of final product. Due to increasing consumer awareness, people more frequently choose organic products as a healthier and safer option. Nevertheless, organic farming is not only about the production of superior quality food, it is also a method of environmental protection and sustainable resource management. Water, soil, biological diversity and landscape are just some of the natural components that are being constantly transformed as a result of farming. Conventional farming often is the main cause of environment degradation that leads to serious consequences. Therefore, it is vital to underline the importance of organic farming in the protection of environment and natural resources that are essential for humans in the process of food production. The main aim of this article is to evaluate the effect of organic farming on water, soil, biological diversity as well as landscape. Moreover, this research is also an attempt at implanting organic agriculture within the concept of sustainable development.

description: The ecological degradation that we are facing today has the nature of a common goods problem, which presents itself on a global scale. Capitalism’s solution to the ecological crisis is the commodification and the integration of these goods into a market system, with cap-and-trade policies for GHG emissions, carbon taxes etc. Current multilevel environmental governance schemes don’t look at the root causes of the ecological crisis, which reside in capitalist forms of production. Commodification of Nature and common goods has implications for roles, responsibilities, capacities and legitimacy of nation-states in environmental politics. Global environmental governance schemes have multilevel governance structures that legitimizes non-state actors like ENGOs, transnational networks, epistemic communities, multinational and transnational companies etc. The legitimacy and capacity of nation-states, their overall activities, have not been effective against the ecological crisis that we face today. Thus, we see the formation of these multi-level environmental governance schemes that surpass nation-states in certain capacities.

description: The Authors attemp to evaluate the Agricultural Property Agency’s (APA) operations to date regarding the implementation of its statutory tasks, disposal of agricultural real estate and the implementation of tasks related with the formation of the agricultural system. From the very beginning of APA’s operation, 3.3 million hectares of land have been permanently allocated, of which 2.7 million hectares through sales, which was the predominant form of the real estate transfer. The infrastructure of the former state-owned farms taken over by the Agency was also subject to privatization. At present, after the legislative amendments (the Act of 2016) long-term lease is the leading form of agricultural land disposal, which enables the land cultivation without engaging funds. Recently, the trend of reducing the area granted for lease has been stopped by leasing available land and limiting the sales of land, the area of which exceeds 2 ha. The following analysis was based on the data included in the APA reports, internal studies and available literature. The results presented prove the Agency’s huge involvement in the process of privatisation of agricultural property. They are also a reflection of other processes which involve stateowned real estate and the private market.

description: Rats were housed in individual cages, in a group cage, or in a naturalistic colonial habitat, and given access to food, water, 10% ethanol, and 10% ethanol in a sweetened saline solution. Rats housed in the colony ingested significantly less total ethanol than either group or individually caged rats. When the flavored ethanol solution was removed, total ethanol intakes of all groups decreased and did not differ significantly. The data indicate that the stimuli of the colonial situation act to decrease ethanol intake when a palatable ethanol solution is available.

description: We introduce a novel variant of BSS machines called Separate Branching BSS machines (S-BSS in short) and develop a Fagin-type logical characterisation for languages decidable in non-deterministic polynomial time by S-BSS machines. We show that NP on S-BSS machines is strictly included in NP on BSS machines and that every NP language on S-BSS machines is a countable union of closed sets in the usual topology of R^n. Moreover, we establish that on Boolean inputs NP on S-BSS machines without real constants characterises a natural fragment of the complexity class existsR (a class of problems polynomial time reducible to the true existential theory of the reals) and hence lies between NP and PSPACE. Finally we apply our results to determine the data complexity of probabilistic independence logic.

description: The electrical resistance decay of a metallic granular packing has been measured as a function of time. This measurement gives information about the size of the conducting cluster formed by the well connected grains. Several regimes have been encountered. Chronologically, the first one concerns the growth of the conducting cluster and is identified to belong to diffusion processes through a stretched exponential behavior. The relaxation time is found to be simply related to the initial injected power. This regime is followed by a reorganisation process due to thermal dilatation. For the long term behavior of the decay, an aging process occurs and enhances the electrical contacts between grains through microsoldering.

description: A thermally induced templated synthesis for SiC nanotubes and nanofibers using ammonia or nitrogen as a carrier gas, single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) as templates as well as gaseous Si is presented. The bundles of SWCNT act as both the carbon source and as a nanoframe from which SiC structuctures form. Depending on the duration of the thermally induced templated reaction, for a fixed temperature, carrier gas, and gas pressure, various SiC nanostructures are obtained. These structures include SiC nanorods coated in C, SiC nanorods, SiC nanotubes, and SiC nanocrytals. From our analysis using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS), electron diffraction (EDX), optical absorption spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy as probes we prove that H has a key role on the morphology and stochiometry of the different SiC nanostructures.

description: Conflicts between agriculture and society are growing in industrialized countries, especially with respect to animal husbandry. Against this background, the present study has the aims to analyze the level of agreement of German citizens with the positions of animal rights, consumer protection, and farmer lobby groups and how this agreement or disagreement affects citizens’ future meat consumption. To achieve these goals, reference is made to the Framing Theory and to the Theory of Planned Behavior. The original contribution of the approach presented here is the integration of both theories in one empirical study, which gives the opportunity to put the impact of public relations activities of different lobby groups into perspective. As can be shown based on a survey among 498 consumers, the intention to reduce meat consumption is only indirectly influenced by media frames generated by lobby groups. Behavioral control and subjective norm represent the most important direct influencing factors. However, the frames, namely the moral and the economic pressure frame, have a strong impact on attitude towards meat consumption.

 Types. Holotype male in ANIC, no. 29-029225, 16 mi W of Ouyen, Vic., 15 Mar. 1966, MSU and J. A. Grant, terminalia in tube 190. Paratypes—Victoria: 1 male, same data as holotype, T.t. 102.— Western Australia: 1 male, 1 mi WNW of Balladonia Motel, 3 Nov. 1969, Key & MSU, T.t. 384.
 Generally similar to A. rufifacies (pale form), but all hairs and bristles dark (except as usual on occiput); differing also as follows:
 Male. Head. Width very variable, 3.8 mm in 1 specimen, 2.5 mm in 2 others. Frons rather wide, Frw/Hdw 0.2–0.3; gena also rather wide, Gnw/Eyh 0.3–0.4. Ivb/Vb-E normal for size, 1.1–1.2 (means omitted, as 3 specimens very different in size). Eye practically bare. Fronto-orbits dark in ground colour, parafacial somewhat variable. Ocellar setae not differentiated; postocellar setae 2–4.
 Thorax. Median vitta poorly differentiated. Presutural intraalar bristles well developed. Intrapostalar well differentiated. Scutellum brown with variable degree of darkening at base; apical setae very variable, from fine to unusually stout. Calypter pale except along extreme medial margin.
 Legs. Tibiae concolorous with femora. Foretibia with preapical ad spine about 0.5 times as long as adjacent d
 spine, which is rather smaller than usual. Hindtibia with pd1 long, Pd1/Sdd 1.1–1.4; ad comb variable, from profuse to quite sparse.
 Abdomen. Submedian marginal bristles lacking on syntergite 1+2, barely or not at all differentiated on tergite 3.
 Terminalia (Figs 72–74). Appendages noticeably small
compared with syntergosternite 6–8. Surstylus paddle- shaped, bluntly tapering, with short, wiry bristles. Cercus with greatly expanded basal section with normal hairs and profuse microtrichiae, tapering to a shorter apical section, which is curved, sharp-pointed and claw-like, with conspicuous apicointernal teeth over much of its length. Epiphallus well developed with rounded apex.
 Female. Unknown.
 Distribution. Seen only from Victoria and Western Australia.
 Biology. All specimens were taken at light.
 Notes. Despite the few specimens seen, the extraordinary terminalia guarantee specific status. One specimen from Western Australia is 1.5 times as large as the other two from Victoria, but, again, the terminalia leave no doubt that they are conspecific.
The name commemorates my friend and colleague, Dr Roger Crosskey, whose magisterial pioneering studies made this study possible.

description: In the heavy quark limit, properties of heavy mesons and doubly heavy baryons are related by heavy quark-diquark symmetry. This problem is reanalyzed in the framework of Non-Relativistic QCD (NRQCD). We introduce a novel method for deriving Potential NRQCD (pNRQCD) Lagrangians for composite fields from vNRQCD, which contains quarks and antiquarks as explicit degrees of freedom and maintains manifest power counting in the velocity via a label formalism. A Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation is used to eliminate four quark interactions in vNRQCD and then quarks and antiquarks are integrated out to get effective Lagrangians for composite fields. This method is used to rederive Lagrangians for the Q\bar Q and QQ sectors of pNRQCD and give a correct derivation of the O(1/m_Q) prediction for the hyperfine splitting of doubly heavy baryons.

description: We give a proof of Kontsevich's formality theorem for a general manifold using Fedosov resolutions of algebras of polydifferential operators and polyvector fields. The main advantage of our construction of the formality quasi-isomorphism is that it is based on the use of covariant tensors unlike Kontsevich's original proof, which is based on $\infty$-jets of polydifferential operators and polyvector fields. Using our construction we prove that if a group G acts smoothly on a manifold M and M admits a G-invariant affine connection then there exists a G-equivariant quasi-isomorphism of formality. This result implies that if a manifold M is equipped with a smooth action of a finite or compact group G or equipped with a free action of a Lie group G then M admits a G-equivariant formality quasi-isomorphism. In particular, this gives a solution of the deformation quantization problem for an arbitrary Poisson orbifold.

description: The Gulf of Mexico supports communities of chemoautotrophic and heterotrophic fauna associated with hydrocarbon seeps. The chemoautotrophic invertebrates, mostly dense epifaunal assemblages of mussels and tubeworms, derive their nutrition from symbiotic relationships with sulfide- or methane-oxidizing bacteria. The extent to which benthic predatory fauna feed on the chemoautotrophic assemblages has been an open question. Owing to differences in stable isotope values between chemosynthetic- and photosynthetic-derived biomass, isotopic characterization of predatory fauna would be useful in determining their dependence upon chemoautotrophs for food. Carbon and sulfur stable isotope analyses reveal that fishes with similar feeding strategies (rat tail [Nezumia sp.] and eels [Synaphobranchus sp., Ophicthus cruentifer and Dysomma rugosa]) have similar δ13C values (–32.7 and –42.5‰, respectively), reflecting chemoautotrophic carbon. Large vagrant predators/scavengers such as isopods Bathynomus giganteus, hagfish Eptatretus sp. and spider crabs Rochina crassa, have isotope values closer to oceanic ranges (δ13C: –20 to –18‰; δ34S: 18 to 20‰), although some individual Eptatretus sp. and R. crassa show a chemosynthetic component. Colonist invertebrates, such as the sea star (Sclerasterias cf. tanneri) and a predatory snail Buccinum canetae, have greatly depleted δ13C and δ34S values, indicating an almost 100% reliance on seep pro- duction. Nitrogen isotope ratios are depleted (–19‰) in some seep areas, and B. canetae and Syna- phobranchus sp. reflect the 15N depletion (–10 and –3‰ respectively). On a species-specific basis, some mobile benthic predators from the background fauna obtain close to 100% of their nutrition from seep production, indicating that they are residents of the seeps. There is a high degree of movement in and out of the seep habitat by vagrant benthic predators, and although the majority derive most of their nutritional needs from photosynthetic production, the incorporation of chemo- synthetic production is substantial.

description: We studied a vertical ``quantum dot molecule'', where one of the dots is occupied with electrons and the other with holes. We find that different phases occur in the ground state, depending on the carrier density and the interdot distance. When the system is dominated by shell structure, orbital degeneracies can be removed either by Hund's rule, or by Jahn-Teller deformation. Both mechanisms can lead to a maximum of the addition energy at mid-shell. At low densities and large interdot distances, bound electron-hole pairs are formed.

description: This study investigates forms of sector blending practiced by the Federal Association of German Food Banks and respective benefits and drawbacks emerging for the organization. The study builds on a prior sector blending categorization system. Twenty in-depth interviews with food bank members were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using qualitative content analysis. In addition, webpage materials from German food retailers and press releases from the German Food Bank were analyzed. Imitation, interaction and industry creation were forms of sector blending found. The main drawback found was that the food bank fails to serve those outside the German social security system, such as the homeless. Benefits include a more professional image of the organization, and the enhancement of social capital. Overall, the additional generation of funds and resources were the most important aspects of sector blending efforts in the German food bank, as it helps food pantries adjust to an increasing number of people in need.

description: The decision-making process regarding cash allocation, especially in times of recession, is somewhat challenging. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of the financial crisis in cash holdings of privately-held firms in the Brazilian sugarcane industry. For this purpose, a unique, hand-collected panel data of 31 firms for the period from 1998 to 2015 was used. The results show that the private firms of the industry maintain higher levels of cash than the average found by studies with Brazilian public companies. Furthermore, between the two dummy variables used, representing the subprime crisis and the most recent economic crisis in Brazil, only the second one was significant. Finally, in order to overcome the adverse conditions of the current Brazilian economic crisis, it was observed an increase in cash holdings, which, in turn, denotes the relevance of precautionary reasons in the understanding of cash management.
Job preferences of agricultural students in Germany – A choice-based conjoint analysis for both genders

description: Knowledge of the job preferences of agricultural students is essential for the competitiveness of the industry. Yet no study is available in Germany. Other studies mostly used direct questions for the preference measurement, which raises possible concerns about a socially desirable response bias. For this reason, the present study combines a quasi-experiment (choice-based conjoint analysis) and direct questions (Likert scales) to measure the job preferences of 568 agricultural students in Germany and compares the results. In addition to finding gender differences, the study found that ‘income’ and ‘future perspective’ are the most important job characteristics for the job choice of agricultural students, and that they also prefer an increasing ‘work-life-balance’ as well as a ‘rural location’ for their future employer. Insights about job characteristics’ attractiveness lead to a more transparent environment in which employers and (potential) employees make better-informed decisions, resulting in increased job satisfaction, performance and career sustainability.
Allocating production risks through credit cum insurance contracts: the design and implementation of a fund for small cotton growers to access market finance

description: Collateral requirements that lenders place on small cotton producers can lead to risk rationing and to farmers’ dependence on downstream parties. This paper presents a cotton fund that consists of a set of contracts – credit, insurance, warrant and forward – that enables producers to tackle specific agricultural risks and gain access to market finance. These financial contracts proved to be successful at guaranteeing the fund as issuer of state-contingent debt securities in the capital markets. The fund, as an intermediary, lent to cooperatives to help finance small cotton producers in northern Argentina. The paper explains the experimental design of this innovative fund and presents a potential alternative to government intervention by moving away from ex post subsidies for small producers and, instead, facilitating ex ante private credit. The paper contributes to the literature on rural financial intermediation by designing a new mechanism to raise funds coming from relatively uninformed investors and creating collateral substitutes through delegated monitoring to overcome asymmetric information and limited commitment.

description: In order to remove a little of the mysticism surrounding the issue of strangeness in the nucleon, we present simple, physically transparent estimates of both the strange magnetic moment and charge radius of the proton. Although simple, the estimates are in quite good agreement with sophisticated calculations using the latest input from lattice QCD. We further explore the possible size of systematic uncertainties associated with charge symmetry violation (CSV) in the recent precise determination of the strange magnetic moment of the proton. We find that CSV acts to increase the error estimate by 0.003 μ_N such that G_M^s = -0.046 +/- 0.022 μ_N.
