Consumer Awareness and Adoption of Sustainable Products: A Marketing Perspective
Creators: name: Dr Sushama Sharma
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2014

description: This research paper examines the growing importance of sustainable consumption and the key role of marketing in influencing consumer awareness and adoption of eco-friendly products. As environmental degradation and climate change continue to pose serious challenges, consumers are increasingly expected to shift towards sustainable products. However, the gap between consumer intent and actual purchase behaviour remains significant. The study explores various dimensions including the level of awareness, key factors influencing adoption, demographic and psychographic influences, challenges in the marketing of green products, and effective strategies adopted by marketers. Based on secondary data, the paper presents relevant statistics showing that while more than 70% of Indian urban consumers express concern for the environment, only around 25-30% regularly purchase sustainable products. It also highlights the role of pricing, labelling, trust, and digital platforms in shaping consumer decisions. Through an in-depth analysis of marketing perspectives, supported by previous studies and authentic data, the paper suggests that consumer education, improved accessibility, and strategic communication can bridge the awareness-adoption gap. The findings emphasize that sustainable consumer behaviour can only be achieved through collaborative efforts involving marketers, policymakers, and informed consumers. The paper concludes that marketing has the potential not only to influence choices but also to cultivate long-term sustainable consumption patterns.

description: The lattice formulation provides a way to regularize, define and compute the Path Integral in a Quantum Field Theory. In this paper we review the theoretical foundations and the most basic algorithms required to implement a typical lattice computation, including the Metropolis, the Gibbs sampling, the Minimal Residual, and the Stabilized Biconjugate inverters. The main emphasis is on gauge theories with fermions such as QCD. We also provide examples of typical results from lattice QCD computations for quantities of phenomenological interest.

description: A mezőgazdaság a pénzügyi szektortól eltérően nemcsak profitot, hanem új értéket is képes létrehozni. A magyarországi agrárgazdaság nyomasztó gondjai ellenére is rendelkezik azokkal az alapvető feltételekkel – föld- és vízvagyonnal –, melyre alapozva hozzájárulhat a nemzetgazdaság gondjainak enyhítéséhez. Ehhez azonban már nem csak szavak, hanem alkotó tettek kellenek, változtatás és változtatni tudás szándékával. -------------------------------------------- Unlike the financial sector, agriculture can not only produce profit but can also create new value. Despite its depressing issues, Hungarian agro-economy is still in possession of the basic resources – land and water assets – which can be the basis for alleviating problems of the national economy. This would require not only words, but constructive action with the ability and intention to make changes.
SoK: Why Johnny Can't Fix PGP Standardization

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Cryptography and Security (cs.CR)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) has long been the primary IETF standard for encrypting email, but suffers from widespread usability and security problems that have limited its adoption. As time has marched on, the underlying cryptographic protocol has fallen out of date insofar as PGP is unauthenticated on a per message basis and compresses before encryption. There have been an increasing number of attacks on the increasingly outdated primitives and complex clients used by the PGP eco-system. However, attempts to update the OpenPGP standard have failed at the IETF except for adding modern cryptographic primitives. Outside of official standardization, Autocrypt is a "bottom-up" community attempt to fix PGP, but still falls victim to attacks on PGP involving authentication. The core reason for the inability to "fix" PGP is the lack of a simple AEAD interface which in turn requires a decentralized public key infrastructure to work with email. Yet even if standards like MLS replace PGP, the deployment of a decentralized PKI remains an open issue.
Giant Radio Sources in View of the Dynamical Evolution of FRII-type Population. I. The Observational Data, and Basic Physical Parameters of Sources Derived from the Analytical Model

description: The time evolution of giant lobe-dominated radio galaxies (with projected linear size D>1 Mpc if H_{0}=50 km/s/Mpc and q_{0}=0.5 is analysed on the basis of dynamical evolution of the entire FRII-type population. Two basic physical parameters, namely the jet power Q_{0} and central density of the galaxy nucleus rho0 are derived for a sample of giants with synchrotron ages reliably determined, and compared with the relevant parameters in a comparison sample of normal-size sources consisting of 3C, B2, and other sources. Having the apparent radio luminosity P and linear size D of each sample source, Q_{0} and rho_{0} are obtained by fitting the dynamical model of Kaiser et al. (1997). We find that: (i) there is not a unique factor governing the source size; they are old sources with temperate jet power (Q_{0}) evolved in a relatively low-density environment (rho_{0}). The size is dependent, in order of decreasing partial correlation coefficients, on age; then on Q_{0}; next on rho_{0}. (ii) A self-similar expansion of the sources' cocoon seems to be feasible if the power supplied by the jets is a few orders of magnitude above the minimum-energy value. In other cases the expansion can only initially be self-similar; a departure from self-similarity for large and old sources is justified by observational data of giant sources. (iii) An apparent increase of the lowest internal pressure value observed within the largest sources' cocoon with redshift is obscured by the intrinsic dependence of their size on age and the age on redshift, which hinders us from making definite conclusions about a cosmological evolution of intergalactic medium (IGM) pressure.

description: Magnetic skyrmions are key candidates for novel memory, logic, and neuromorphic computing. An essential property is their topological protection caused by the whirling spin texture as described by a robust integer winding number. However, the realization on an atomic lattice leaves a loophole for switching the winding number via concerted rotation of individual spins. Hence, understanding the unwinding microscopically is key to enhance skyrmion stability. Here, we use spin polarized scanning tunneling microscopy to probe skyrmion annihilation by individual hot electrons and obtain maps of the transition rate on the nanometer scale. By applying an in-plane magnetic field, we tune the collapse rate by up to four orders of magnitude. In comparison with first-principles based atomistic spin simulations, the experiments demonstrate a radial symmetric collapse at zero in-plane magnetic field and a transition to the recently predicted chimera collapse at finite in-plane field. Our work opens the route to design criteria for skyrmion switches and improved skyrmion stability.

description: We propose a method to determine the CKM matrix element $|V_{ub}|$ using the global $q^2$ dependence of the dispersive bound on the form factors for $B\to πlν$ decay. Since the lattice calculation of the $B\to πlν$ form factor is limited to the large $q^2$ regime, only the experimental data in a limited kinematic range can be used in a conventional method. In our new method which exploits the statistical distributions of the dispersive bound proposed by Lellouch, we can utilize the information of the global $q^2$ dependence for all kinematic range. As a feasibility study we determine $|V_{ub}|$ by combining the form factors from quenched lattice QCD, the dispersive bounds, and the experimental data by CLEO. We show that the accuracy of $|V_{ub}|$ can be improved by our method.

We still have not been able to create a cheap water route to a seaport, and Hungarian cereals can still only be sold below world market prices. To make rivers navigable irrespective of the changes to their water levels, weirs are needed.

Sea-ice dynamics on triangular grids

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We present a stable discretization of sea-ice dynamics on triangular grids that can straightforwardly be coupled to an ocean model on a triangular grid with Arakawa C-type staggering. The approach is based on a nonconforming finite element framework, namely the Crouzeix-Raviart finite element. As the discretization of the viscous-plastic and elastic-viscous-plastic stress tensor with the Crouzeix-Raviart finite element produces oscillations in the velocity field, we introduce an edge-based stabilization. To show that the stabilized Crouzeix-Raviart approximation is qualitative consistent with the solution of the continuous sea-ice equations, we derive a $H^1$-estimate. In a numerical analysis we show that the stabilization is fundamental to achieve stable approximation of the sea-ice velocity field.

description: We study the heat conduction of the spin-1/2 XXZ chain in finite magnetic fields where magnetothermal effects arise. Due to the integrability of this model, all transport coefficients diverge, signaled by finite Drude weights. Using exact diagonalization and mean-field theory, we analyze the temperature and field dependence of the thermal Drude weight for various exchange anisotropies under the condition of zero magnetization-current flow. First, we find a strong magnetic field dependence of the Drude weight, including a suppression of its magnitude with increasing field strength and a non-monotonic field-dependence of the peak position. Second, for small exchange anisotropies and magnetic fields in the massless as well as in the fully polarized regime the mean-field approach is in excellent agreement with the exact diagonalization data. Third, at the field-induced quantum critical line between the para- and ferromagnetic region we propose a universal low-temperature behavior of the thermal Drude weight.

description: COVID-19 is a new pandemic disease that is affecting almost every country with a negative impact on social life and economic activities. The number of infected and deceased patients continues to increase globally. Mathematical models can help in developing better strategies to contain a pandemic. Considering multiple measures taken by African governments and challenging socio-economic factors, simple models cannot fit the data. We studied the dynamical evolution of COVID-19 in selected African countries. We derived a time-dependent reproduction number for each country studied to offer further insights into the spread of COVID-19 in Africa.

description: Since the early work of Hagen in 1852 and Beverloo et al. in 1961, the flow rate of granular material discharging through a circular orifice from a silo has been described by means of dimensional analysis and experimental fits, and explained through the "free fall arch" model. Here, in contrast with the traditional approach, we derive a differential equation based on the energy balance of the system. This equation is consistent with the well known Beverloo rule thanks to a compensation of energy terms. Moreover, this new equation can be used to explore new conditions for silo discharges. In particular, we show how the effect of friction on the flow rate can be predicted. The theory is validated using discrete element method simulations.

description: Der Kindes- und Erwachsenenschutz ist im Kanton Zürich sehr unterschiedlich aufgestellt. Im
Jahr 2021 hat die Konferenz für Kindes- und Erwachsenenschutz Empfehlungen zur
Organisation von Berufsbeistandschaften verabschiedet. Bis heute fehlt eine nationale
Evaluation dazu. Der Autor bringt den aktuellen Stand der Umsetzung der Empfehlungen im
Kanton Zürich in Erfahrung. Mit dieser Arbeit liegt für den Kanton Zürich eine erste kantonale
qualitative Untersuchung vor. Der Autor evaluiert den Umsetzungsgrad der Empfehlungen der
Konferenz für Kindes- und Erwachsenenschutz zur Organisation von Berufsbeistandschaften
am Beispiel von fünf Fällen in vier verschiedenen Organisationstypen. Das Sampling orientiert
sich bewusst an den Kontrasten der Berufsbeistandschaften im Kanton Zürich und ermöglicht
so eine Betrachtung der verschiedenen Konstellationen und Bedingungen. Für die
Berufsbeistandschaften im Erwachsenenschutz sind im Kanton Zürich die Gemeinden
zuständig. Die Arbeit legt deshalb den Hauptfokus auf den Erwachsenenschutz und untersucht
vier Berufsbeistandschaften, die im Erwachsenenschutz tätig sind, und eine, die im
Kindesschutz tätig ist. Der Autor betrachtet die unterschiedlichen Umsetzungsvarianten der
Berufsbeistandschaften im Rahmen einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse entlang der fünf Fälle.
Dank dem konsequenten methodischen Vorgehen in dieser empirischen Forschung ist eine
Generalisierung der Resultate möglich. Die Arbeit legt zudem einen weiteren Fokus auf
allgemeine Herausforderungen in Berufsbeistandschaften und liefert mögliche Lösungen.
Den für die operative Leitung Zuständigen sowie den Politikerinnen und Politikern werden
Lösungsansätze präsentiert, wie sich die Empfehlungen der Konferenz für Kindes- und
Erwachsenenschutz zur Organisation von Berufsbeistandschaften im Kanton Zürich und damit
die gesetzlichen Vorgaben aus dem ZGB umsetzen lassen.

description: In F/S/F trilayers where the magnetization directions of the F layers can be controlled separately, it has theoretically been predicted that the antiparallel (AP) configuration can have a higher superconducting transition temperature T_c than the parallel configuration. This is the so-called spin switch, which also experimentally has been found for the case of weak ferromagnets. Here we show that strong ferromagnets yield the opposite effect. We study the transport properties of F/S/F trilayers with F = Ni_0.80Fe_0.20 (Permalloy, Py) and S = Nb, structured in strips of different sizes. Using two different thicknesses for the Py layers, we can switch in a well-defined way between the AP- and P-configurations. In the superconducting transition we find a clear increase of the resistance in the AP-state. We ascribe this to enhanced reflection of spin-polarized quasiparticles at the S/F interfaces which leads to a stronger suppression of superconductivity on the S-side.

Here, the theorem is proved by realising the multipoles are pairs of opposite vectors in Majorana's sphere representation of quantum spins. The proof involves the physicist's standard tools of quantum angular momentum algebra, integral kernels, and gaussian integration. Various other proofs are compared, including an alternative using the calculus of spacetime spinors.

description: Excerpts from the article: Consequences of youth employment problems are current, indicated by large numbers of underutilized youth, and may be carried with youth into adulthood. A recent study has concluded that those youth who experience the greatest labor market difficulties are likely to be the same people who experience persistent underemployment later in their working lives. Thus, the employment problems of youth should not be taken lightly. Unemployment rates among youth that are two or three times the rate of the total labor force are unacceptable. Public policy must address the labor market problems of youth. And, of equal importance, these efforts should deal just as aggressively with the problems of rural youth as they treat the problems of urban youth.

description: This paper studies the variation diminishing property of $k$-positive linear time-invariant (LTI) systems, which map inputs with $k-1$ sign changes to outputs with at most the same variation. We characterize this property for the Toeplitz and Hankel operators of finite-dimensional systems. Our main result is that these operators have a dominant approximation in the form of series or parallel interconnections of $k$ first order positive systems. This is shown by expressing the $k$-positivity of a LTI system as the external positivity (that is, $1$-positivity) of $k$ compound LTI systems. Our characterization generalizes well known properties of externally positive systems ($k=1$) and totally positive systems ($k=\infty$; also known as relaxation systems).

description: Using smearing of equilibrium lattice fields generated at finite temperature in the confined phase of SU(2) lattice gauge theory, we have investigated the emerging topological objects (clusters of topological charge). Analysing their monopole content according to the Polyakov gauge and the maximally Abelian gauge, we characterize part of them to correspond to nonstatic calorons or static dyons in the context of Kraan-van Baal caloron solutions with non-trivial holonomy. The behaviour of the Polyakov loop inside these clusters and the (model-dependent) topological charges of these objects support this interpretation.

description: The planted p-spin interaction model is a paradigm of random-graph systems possessing both a ferromagnetic phase and a disordered phase with the latter splitting into many spin glass states at low temperatures. Conventional simulated annealing dynamics is easily blocked by these low-energy spin glass states. Here we demonstrate that, actually this planted system is exponentially dominated by a microcanonical polarized phase at intermediate energy densities. There is a discontinuous microcanonical spontaneous symmetry breaking transition from the paramagnetic phase to the microcanonical polarized phase. This transition can serve as a mechanism to avoid all the spin glass traps, and it is accelerated by the restart strategy of microcanonical random walk. We also propose an unsupervised learning problem on microcanonically sampled configurations for inferring the planted ground state.

Subjects: Covid 19, SARS II Corona Virus,

description: In Wuhan, China, during December 2019, a number of cases of severe pneumonia were found, associated with the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market. The World Health Organization (WHO) named the new virus associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 19 (SARS Cov-19) (Garcia, PDW et al, 2020). Up to this day of writing, the coronavirus-disease-2019 (COVID-19) has caused more than 2,6 million deaths worldwide. I am an Engineer by profession, not a medical doctor, so I am not going to make sweeping remarks on a profession that I do honour yet have some serious points of criticism or concerns to raise against, just as they are welcome to raise if we, as engineers, fail to be compliant and aeroplanes fall from the sky or bridges collapse. This is an essay to understand and raise concern; to get in touch with the fading human element of care that has been replaced with curtains of fear, unaccountable practices, and voodoo treatments in the face of a life-threatening disease. Fungal and Bacterial co-infection have been found in patients with COVID-19, but there is, as yet, limited experience on these infections in critically ill patients in the ICU. Herewith I present what I see as three aspects, which in a logical observation, clearly affect Covid-19 ICU mortalities, yet will rarely be held as even possible causes of unwarranted deaths. It is an age in which everything is written off, once you enter that ICU doors, as death by COVID-19.
Estimation independence as an axiom for quantum uncertainty

description: Quantum uncertainty is the cornerstone of quantum mechanics which underlies many counterintuitive nonclassical phenomena. Recent studies remarkably showed that it also fundamentally limits nonclassical correlation, and crucially, a deviation from its exact form may lead to a violation of the second law of thermodynamics. Are there deep and natural principles which uniquely determines its form? Here we work within a general epistemic framework for a class of nonclassical theories, introducing an epistemic restriction to an otherwise classical theory, so that the distributions of positions are irreducibly parameterized by the underlying momentum fields. It was recently shown that the mathematics of quantum mechanics formally arises within an operational scheme, wherein an agent makes a specific estimation of the momentum given information on the positions and the experimental settings. Moreover, quantum uncertainty can be traced back to the `specific' choice of estimator and the associated estimation error. In the present work, we show that a plausible principle of estimation independence, which requires that the estimation of momentum of one system must be independent of the position of another system independently prepared of the first, singles out the specific forms of the estimator, and especially the estimation error up to its strength given by a global-nonseparable random variable on the order of Planck constant.

Collisional Energy Loss of a Heavy Quark in an Anisotropic Quark-Gluon Plasma

description: We compute the leading-order collisional energy loss of a heavy quark propagating through a quark-gluon plasma in which the quark and gluon distributions are anisotropic in momentum space. Following the calculation outlined for QED in an earlier work we indicate the differences encountered in QCD and their effect on the collisional energy loss results. For a 20 GeV bottom quark we show that momentum space anisotropies can result in the collisional heavy quark energy loss varying with the angle of propagation by up to 50%. For low velocity quarks we show that anisotropies result in energy gain instead of energy loss with the energy gain focused in such a way as to accelerate particles along the anisotropy direction thereby reducing the momentum-space anisotropy. The origin of this negative energy loss is explicitly identified as being related to the presence of plasma instabilities in the system.

description: Fourier ptychographic microscopy (FPM) is a computational approach geared towards creating high-resolution and large field-of-view images without mechanical scanning. To acquire color images of histology slides, it often requires sequential acquisitions with red, green, and blue illuminations. The color reconstructions often suffer from coherent artifacts that are not presented in regular incoherent microscopy images. As a result, it remains a challenge to employ FPM for digital pathology applications, where resolution and color accuracy are of critical importance. Here we report a deep learning approach for performing unsupervised image-to-image translation of FPM reconstructions. A cycle-consistent adversarial network with multiscale structure similarity loss is trained to perform virtual brightfield and fluorescence staining of the recovered FPM images. In the training stage, we feed the network with two sets of unpaired images: 1) monochromatic FPM recovery, and 2) color or fluorescence images captured using a regular microscope. In the inference stage, the network takes the FPM input and outputs a virtually stained image with reduced coherent artifacts and improved image quality. We test the approach on various samples with different staining protocols. High-quality color and fluorescence reconstructions validate its effectiveness.

description: This paper focuses on the possibilities of ethnic marketing and its ethic connections. The differences found in our face-to-face interviews and analysing questionnaire data will provide opportunities for Hungarian small enterprises. Targeting ethnic groups for marketing purposes results in ethical difficulties. In Hungary, ethnic marketing is yet an inexperienced concept. Based on these ideas the authors examine the ins and outs of using ethnic marketing in case of Germans in Hungary. Consumers with German ethnic attitude really want German products and brands. At the same time, enterprises have to emphasise the products’ “Germanness” and character in a better/stronger way because this can help for better consumer decision making.

description: Long-standing anomalies in K^+ nucleus integral cross sections could be resolved by extending the impulse-approximation t*rho optical-potential framework to incorporate K^+ absorption on pairs of nucleons. Substantially improved fits to the data at p(lab)=500-700 MeV/c are obtained. An upper bound of 3.5 mb for the absorption cross section of K^+ per nucleon is derived. We conjecture that the underlying microscopic absorption process is K^+ n N --> Theta^+ N, where Theta^+(1540) is the newly discovered exotic Y=2, I=0, Z=1 pentaquark baryon, and estimate that the cross section for K^+ d --> Theta^+ p is a fraction of millibarn. Comments are made on Theta^+ production reactions on nuclei.

description: Background. Bedtime routines has shown important associations with areas associated with child wellbeing and development. Research into bedtime routines is limited with studies mainly focusing on quality of sleep. The objectives of the present study were to examine the relationship between bedtime routines and a variety of factors associated with child wellbeing and to examine possible determinants of bedtime routines. Methods. A total of 50 families with children between 3 and 5 years old took part in the study. Data on bedtime routines, parenting styles, school readiness, children's dental health, and executive function were collected. Results. Children in families with optimal bedtime routines showed better performance in terms of executive function, specifically working memory (t(44)= -8.51, p ≤ .001), inhibition and attention (t(48)= -9.70, p ≤ .001) and cognitive flexibility (t(48)= -13.1, p ≤ .001). Also, children in households with optimal bedtime routines scored higher in their readiness for school (t(48)= 6.92, p ≤ .001) and had better dental health (U=85.5, p= .011). Parents in households with suboptimal bedtime routines showed worse performance on all measures of executive function including working memory (t(48)= -10.47, p ≤ .001), inhibition-attention (t(48)= -10.50, p ≤ .001) and cognitive flexibility (t(48)= -13.6, p ≤ .001). Finally, parents with optimal bedtime routines for their children deployed a more positive parenting style in general (i.e. authoritative parenting) compared to those with suboptimal bedtime routines (t(48)= -6.45, p ≤ .001). Conclusion. The results of the present study highlight the potentially important role of bedtime routines in a variety of areas associated with child wellbeing and the need for further research.
