Subjects: subject: Inflation, balance of payments, imbalances, exchange rates, world economy, growth

description: The legacy of the oil crisis, which simultaneously had an inflationary and a deflationary impact on the world economy, is still here five years later. While in recent years the United States has maintained economic expansion with little regard to its balance-of-payments consequences, in other countries the desire to lower inflation rates and/or to reduce balance-of-payment deficits has retarded economic expansion. Differences in growth rates have contributed to balance-of-payments imbalances which have translated into exchange rate changes far exceeding changes in purchasing power relationships. Such disequilibria has resulted in conflicting interests and strategies among industrial countries. In this paper the author argues for the application of specific measures to reduce policy conflicts and contribute to the growth of the world economy while minimising inflationary repercussions.

description: A recent line of work in the machine learning community addresses the problem of predicting high-dimensional spatiotemporal phenomena by leveraging specific tools from the differential equations theory. Following this direction, we propose in this article a novel and general paradigm for this task based on a resolution method for partial differential equations: the separation of variables. This inspiration allows us to introduce a dynamical interpretation of spatiotemporal disentanglement. It induces a principled model based on learning disentangled spatial and temporal representations of a phenomenon to accurately predict future observations. We experimentally demonstrate the performance and broad applicability of our method against prior state-of-the-art models on physical and synthetic video datasets.

Mittels Fragebogen (FEESS) wird erhoben, wie sich die Intervention auf die Schulerfahrung der Kinder bezüglich Klassenklima, Soziale Integration, Selbstkonzept der Schulfähigkeit, Schuleinstellung und Gefühl des Angenommenseins auswirkt. Zusätzlich werden Unterschiede zwischen den Lernenden der 1. bis 6. Klasse mit und ohne Förderstatus erfasst. Die Auswertung der Daten hat ergeben, dass sich auf der Mittelstufe das Selbstkonzept der SuS mit Förderstatus und ohne Förderstatus unterscheidet. Bei den restlichen Skalen wurden auf der Unter- und Mittelstufe keine signifikanten Unterschiede festgestellt. Bei insgesamt acht von 20 untersuchten Skalen konnte eine signifikante Verbesserung nach der Intervention erhoben werden.
No more dancing for gods : a case study of "Ilisin" (harvest festival) and ethnic relationships in Taiwan
Creators: name: Liao, Chia-Ying
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In this thesis I examine popular cultural representations of Ilisin, a traditional Indigenous festival in Taiwan, in the context of ethnic and racial power relations and identity politics in the country after 1995, the year of emergence of the Council of Indigenous People. In support of this research, I collected 417 articles related to Ilisin from three newspapers and three magazines in the period 1995 to present. I also conducted an internet "ethnography" by visiting three BBS sites and collecting 38 posted comments about Ilisin. The thesis draws on poststructuralist theoretical frameworks and tourism research about power and ethnicity, as well as research on the social, historical and political context of Taiwan. Various social definitions of "others" were identified in the media contents and shared cultural meanings of Ilisin constructed in internet conversations. These distinctions were not limited to Han (Chinese) versus Indigenous. What and who constitutes "us" versus "them" was found to be a contingent issue that related to social and cultural identities and contexts. The comments on the Internet demonstrated a broad range of interpretations of Ilisin and its media portrayals. In the end, this study challenges the apparent comprehensiveness of the category of "Chinese". Multiculturalism is often critiqued for constructing a Utopian rhetoric where the "minority" can have their own cultures/ghettos under the state, while, at the same time, the dominant social groups absolve themselves of responsibilities for prior discrimination. However, multiculturalism overlooks cultural and ethnic diversity in the "dominant" and inevitably simplifies the concept of antagonism. This thesis demonstrates a complex set of relationships other than the binary of "dominant" and minorities/Indigenous in the context of "multiculturalism". The thesis and its analyses in many respects reflect my experience and point of view and are intended to provoke a dialogue on these issues. Critical, interpretive research is not intended to bring closure, but to open up dialogue, and I suggest future studies to apply various ethnographic methods to gain a deeper understanding about how people interpret and embody difference. Moreover, I suggest we investigate other 'ethnic', 'Chinese', 'Taiwanese' events to explore power relations from various angles and to (re)discuss and de/re/construct meanings of these events, which I hope, in the end, will contribute to the ethnic/racial debates in Taiwan.
Different inflations have different effects on employment

Subjects: subject: Inflation, employment, price increases, unemployment
subject: E31, E24

description: The work deals with the relationship between inflation and employment and highlights the common mistake of using the term “inflation” to mean “price increases”. With regard to the economically relevant variables, a lack of specification concerning the kind of inflation is mischievous. The author distinguishes between nine different types of inflation and discusses the roles which some of them may play in the processes that result in changes of employment and unemployment. Emphasis is placed on the different rates per time and on the different time lags with which the different inflations proceed. JEL: E31, E24

description: Background: Although rivaroxaban has demonstrated consistent drug levels in normal weight and obese patients, sufficient confirmation of equal clinical effectiveness and safety is currently lacking. Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of rivaroxaban versus warfarin for prevention of stroke and systemic embolism (SSE) in obese nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients. Methods: Using Optum de-identified Electronic Health Record (EHR) data from 11/2011-9/2018,we evaluated NVAF patients with a body mass index (BMI)≥30 kg/m2 newly initiated on rivaroxaban or warfarin (index date), with ≥12-months of EHR activity and ≥1 encounter before the index date. We excluded patients with valvular disease or evidence of oral anticoagulant (OAC) use at baseline. Patients who were prescribed rivaroxaban were 1:1 propensity-score matched to patients who were prescribed warfarin (standard differences <0.10 achieved for all covariates). Outcomes included SSE and major bleeding using an intent-to-treat approach. Subanalyses stratified by BMI (30.0-34.9, 35.0-39.9 and ≥40 kg/m2) were performed. Cox regression was performed and reported as hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: We included 35,613 rivaroxaban and 35,613 warfarin users with NVAF. Patients were followed for a median of 2.6 years (25%-75% range =1.2–4.1). Rivaroxaban was associated with a reduced risk of SSE (HR =0.83, 95%CI =0.73-0.94) and major bleeding (HR =0.82, 95%CI =0.75-0.89) compared to warfarin. Subanalysis did not show a statistically significant interaction across BMI categories for SSE (p-interaction =0.58) or major bleeding (p-interaction =0.44) outcomes. Conclusions: Among obese NVAF patients, prescription of rivaroxaban was associated with a reduced risk of SSE and major bleeding compared to warfarin, which remained consistent across BMI classes.
title: Designing for Fluid Transitions to Sustainable Infrastructure: The Case of the Bedford & Milton Keynes Waterway
Creators: name: Rowbotham, Alex
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2018

description: The need for transitions to more sustainable socio-technical systems that underpin everyday life has never been more prescient. However, such transitions are daunting and difficult. Design initiates change in artefacts and therefore has an important role to play in transitions to more sustainable futures. Yet the power of design in assisting such transitions has not been fully realised. This thesis explores this issue. A longitudinal case study of the Bedford & Milton Keynes Waterway infrastructure project was completed. Ethnographic observation and interviews provided empirical data on the design activities present in this nascent project. The Fluid Transition (FT) approach was adopted as it identifies a role for design in transitions and provides guidance on how interpretative flexibility may be embraced through design to develop situationally specific solutions and realise a multiplicity of transition pathways. The FT approach was used as a theoretical lens to both analyse and practically guide design activity. Analysing the project in light of key aspects of the FT approach showed that design activities did not sufficiently take into account the projects situated nature and the need for actor participation beyond the traditional nexus. Interventions were completed with case study actors to influence project design activities and included workshops employing visioning, co-design, as well as visual communication practices new to the project. A framework for Fluid Design for Sustainable Transitions (FDfST) has been developed which identifies key design activities to assist socio-technical transitions. Visioning is the most powerful element of the framework, exerting influence over all others. The case study shows that the project has embarked upon a transition pathway toward a more sustainable infrastructure and design can play a key role in such transition pathways.

description: Imaging Earth structure or seismic sources from seismic data involves minimizing a target misfit function, and is commonly solved through gradient-based optimization. The adjoint-state method has been developed to compute the gradient efficiently; however, its implementation can be time-consuming and difficult. We develop a general seismic inversion framework to calculate gradients using reverse-mode automatic differentiation. The central idea is that adjoint-state methods and reverse-mode automatic differentiation are mathematically equivalent. The mapping between numerical PDE simulation and deep learning allows us to build a seismic inverse modeling library, ADSeismic, based on deep learning frameworks, which supports high performance reverse-mode automatic differentiation on CPUs and GPUs. We demonstrate the performance of ADSeismic on inverse problems related to velocity model estimation, rupture imaging, earthquake location, and source time function retrieval. ADSeismic has the potential to solve a wide variety of inverse modeling applications within a unified framework.

description: Available data on the chirp mass distribution of the coalescing black hole binaries in O1-O3 LIGO/Virgo runs are analyzed and compared statistically with the distribution calculated under the assumption that these black holes are primordial with a log-normal mass spectrum. The theoretically calculated chirp mass distribution with the inferred best acceptable mass spectrum parameters, $M_0=17 M_\odot$ and $γ=0.9$, perfectly describes the data. The value of $M_0$ very well agrees with the theoretically expected one. On the opposite, the chirp mass distribution of black hole binaries originated from massive binary star evolution requires additional model adjustments to reproduce the observed chirp mass distribution

The possible uses of commodity agreements

Subjects: subject: Commodity agreements, buffer stocks, developing countries, assistance
subject: F10, F30, F40

description: In recent years, the idea of commodity agreements has gained traction and a system of such agreements centred on buffer stocks is now being vigorously sought by developing countries. The present work argues, however, that even if disputed issues such as resource investment in and control over operations are resolved, it is probable that the hopes of developing countries for assistance from commodity agreements are doomed to disappoint. To argue this, the author considers each of the possible purposes that might be served by a commodity agreement - developing countries gaining control of their own resources, stabilisation and improved terms of trade.

description: Das Ziel dieser Arbeit besteht darin, eine didaktisch-methodische Anleitung aus Theorie und Praxis begründet zu entwickeln, um kreative Prozesse bei Schüler*innen zu aktivieren und zu begleiten. Damit soll diese Arbeit den Lehrpersonen als allgemeiner Leitfaden zur Durchführung von Unterrichtseinheiten zur Kreativitätsentwicklung von Primarschulkindern dienen. Die Erfahrungen aus den Praxis-Modulen illustrieren in dieser Arbeit nicht nur das Vorgehen gemeinsamen Arbeitens im kreativen Prozess, sondern können ebenso als Grundlage unterrichtlichen Handelns dienen. Ein Faltblatt im Format DIN A3 mit einer Kurzanleitung zum Vorgehen befindet sich im Anhang. Der theoretische Teil der Arbeit befasst sich nicht nur mit der Definition der Kreativität, sondern weist neben der immer gegebenen und je nach Kind immer unterschiedlich stark ausgeprägten intrinsischen Motivation auch auf das notwendige dialogische Konzept in der Unterweisung der Schüler*innen hin und entwickelt anhand der ausgewerteten Literatur ein Konzept für Lehrpersonen. Dabei werden die von Klingberg erwähnten dialektischen Widersprüche zwischen Führung der Lehrer*innen und Selbsttätigkeit bzw. Selbstwirksamkeit der Schüler*innen besonders deutlich und bedeutsam für das Arbeiten mit Kindern in kreativen Prozessen. Ferner wird auf den intermedialen Transfer und seine Bedeutung für die Arbeit mit Kindern im kreativen Bereich besonders eingegangen. Die exemplarische Durchführung der Arbeit mit Kindern erfolgte auf zwei unterschiedliche Arten: Im ersten Part des praktischen Teils der Arbeit wird eine kreative Arbeit mit Kindern im Werkunterricht am Material Ton durchgeführt und beschrieben. Im zweiten Part des praktischen Teils, der sich mit dem intermedialen Transfer beschäftigt, wird der für die kindliche Entwicklung im kreativen Bereich so wichtige Transfer begründet, veranschaulicht und mit Beispielen aus der Arbeit mit den Kindern verdeutlicht. Ein Kern dieser Arbeit ist somit der intermediale Transfer, der allerdings als Besonderheit eine in einem ersten Unterrichtsschritt von den Kindern in einer kreativen Arbeit geschaffene Ressource nutzt. Die Arbeit mit einem Material (hier: Ton im Werkunterricht) wird genutzt für eine weitere freie Arbeit in einem anderen Medium. Durch dieses Vorgehen entstand somit eine doppelte IV Urheberschaft der Kreativität: Schulkinder gestalteten eigenständig und frei ein Produkt, das im medialen Transfer zu einem weiteren eigenständigen Produkt verwandelt wird. Die kritische Reflexion der gewonnenen Erkenntnisse aus der Untersuchung hinsichtlich der Theorie und der Praxis und mein persönliches Fazit schließen die Arbeit ab.

description: The interaction of 6-hydroxyflavone (6HF) with hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) has been executed using multi-spectroscopic and computational methods. Steady state fluorescence studies indicated that static quenching mechanism is involved in the binding of 6HF with HEWL, which was further supported by excited state lifetime and UV–vis absorption studies. The binding constant (Kb) of the HEWL–6HF complex was observed to be 6.44 ± 0.09 × 104 M−1 at 293 K, which decreases with the increase in temperature. The calculation of the thermodynamic quantities showed that the binding is exothermic in nature with a negative enthalpy change (ΔH = −11.91 ± 1.02 kJ mol−1) along with a positive entropy change (ΔS = +51.36 ± 2.43 J K−1 mol−1), and the major forces responsible for the binding are hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. The possibility of energy transfer from tryptophan (Trp) residue to the 6HF ligand was observed from Fo¨rster’s theory. The inclusion of 6HF within the binding site of HEWL induces some micro-environmental changes around the Trp residues as indicated by synchronous and three-dimensional (3D) fluorescence studies. The changes in secondary structural components of HEWL are observed on binding with 6HF along with a reduction in % α-helical content. Computational studies correlate well with the experimental finding, and the ligand 6HF is found to bind near to Trp 62 and Trp 63 residues of HEWL. Altogether, the present study provides an insight into the interaction dynamics and energetics of the binding of 6HF to HEWL. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: Combining first-principles accuracy and empirical-potential efficiency for the description of the potential energy surface (PES) is the philosopher's stone for unraveling the nature of matter via atomistic simulation. This has been particularly challenging for multi-component alloy systems due to the complex and non-linear nature of the associated PES. In this work, we develop an accurate PES model for the Al-Cu-Mg system by employing Deep Potential (DP), a neural network based representation of the PES, and DP Generator (DP-GEN), a concurrent-learning scheme that generates a compact set of ab initio data for training. The resulting DP model gives predictions consistent with first-principles calculations for various binary and ternary systems on their fundamental energetic and mechanical properties, including formation energy, equilibrium volume, equation of state, interstitial energy, vacancy and surface formation energy, as well as elastic moduli. Extensive benchmark shows that the DP model is ready and will be useful for atomistic modeling of the Al-Cu-Mg system within the full range of concentration.
Monetarism, budget deficits, and wage push inflation: the cases of Italy and the U.K.

description: The present paper discusses two of the major areas of current disagreement between monetarists and anti-monetarists. The first concerns inflation-unemployment relationships and the distinction between demand-pull and cost-push pressures. The second concerns the underlying causes of inflationary pressures. After considering both of these issues, the impact of four major variables on monetary expansion in Italy and the United Kingdom are investigated. While strongly agreeing with the monetarists that autonomous cost-push pressures cannot cause high rates of inflation without monetary validation, the authors present evidence that suggests that cost-push factors as well as budget deficits have been major contributors to the high rates of monetary expansion in both Italy and the United Kingdom. Moreover, international factors do not appear to have had a strong systemic influence. JEL: E31, E24, E50

description: By letting prices be determined entirely by the requirements of macroeconomic equilibrium, flexible-price models bypass the issues of how prices and wages are set in the short run and whether there is any direct linkage between domestic price and wage formation and the levels of prices and wages internationally. This paper deals with such direct linkages between international and domestic prices and wages. Aside from a few papers, there appears to have been little effort made to account for international influences on domestic price formation at the theoretical macroeconomic level. The authors first offer a brief theoretical discussion of international price relationships. An analysis of empirical evidence as contained in several large national econometric models is then carried out. JEL: E31, E24, E37

The common agricultural policy and the balance of payments of the EEC member countries

Subjects: subject: Common Agricultural Policy, EEC, balance of payments, foreign exchange reserves, comparison
subject: F31, F32, F36

description: The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), one of the main forces working for the integration of EEC member countries, generates an economic burden for each member which affects the balance of payments and the real income. This study assesses, for each member country, consumers’ transfers to the farmers of the other member countries, and calculates by how much imported and exported food prices are higher. The author establishes the net cost or benefit of the CAP to the balance of payments of each member country, i.e. the loss or gain of foreign exchange reserves. For simplicity, the methodology adopted assumes that there is no downward impact of the CAP on extra-EEC agricultural prices, which in its absence, would be higher. Results for each member countries are, therefore, not valid per se but in comparison with the results of the other member countries. Final results show that Italy bears the heaviest share of the burden. JEL: F31, F32, F36

description: Identification of coherent structures is an essential step to describe and model turbulence generation mechanisms in wall-bounded flows. To this end we present a clustering method based on Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), a generative probabilistic model for collections of discrete data. The method is applied for structure identification to the instantaneous Reynolds stress in turbulent channel flow at moderate Reynolds number R τ = 590. LDA computes a robust flow description in terms of a hierarchy of vertically connected structure fragments, the characteristics of which scale with the wall distance, in agreement with the wall-attached eddy hypothesis of Townsend (1961). We show that the model can be used for field reconstruction with a complexity that can be compared with that of Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD). It can also be used to generate synthetic fields, the statistics of which mimic those of the original database. These findings highlight the potential of LDA for data analysis, compression and generation.

description: Colour image segmentation is an important problem in computer vision and image processing. Variant application such as image processing, computer vision, pattern recognition and machine learning widely used classical clustering method which is considered traditional k-means algorithm. K-means algorithm is famous clustering algorithm; it divided data into k clusters. The initial centroids are random selected, so the algorithm could not lead to the unique result. In this paper, we proposed a new algorithm for colour image segmentation using hybrid k-means clustering method which combine between two methods, geometric and block method.Hybrid method is to compute initial centers for k-means clustering. Geometric method depends on equal areas of distribution. Block method segments the image into uniform areas. The proposed method can overcome the drawbacks of both method (geometric and block).Furthermore, we have presented a simple validity measure based on the intra-cluster and inter-cluster distance measures which allows determining the number of clusters. The proposed method looks for the first local maximum in the validity measure. The experimental results appeared quite satisfactory.

description: Der schulische Einsatz digitaler Medien und moderner mobiler Endgeräte wie Tablets und Smartphones beschränkt sich häufig auf einen vor allem rezeptiven Umgang mit Medien. Im Rahmen eines zehnwöchigen Unterrichtsprojekts in einer 3. Förderklasse wurde untersucht, welche Chancen die aktive Medienarbeit mit Trickfilmen für eine implizite Sprachförderung bietet. Dafür wurden die Unterrichtseinheiten des Projekts mithilfe teilnehmender Beobach-tungen und Videoaufzeichnungen auf sprachförderliche Potenziale hin untersucht. Die Aus-wertung zeigt Anregungspotenziale für die Bereiche Sprachverstehen, Sprachgebrauch, Diffe-renzierung der Sprachfähigkeit, Kommunikation sowie Umgang mit Schrift. Aus den hieraus gewonnenen Erkenntnissen wurde ein Leitfaden entwickelt, der interessierten Lehrpersonen bei der Planung und Durchführung eines eigenen Trickfilmprojekts dienen soll.

description: While structural maladjustments have long been the distressing prerogative of less developed countries, they have now emerged in all their vigour in industrial countries as well. Indeed, after a decade in which cyclical imbalances were the focus of economists attention, structural disequilibria is now enjoying a new lease on life. This work argues for non-traditional ways of measuring, statistically, the progress of an industrial country on the road to structural adjustment. The author proposes an analysis based on the “income-share” or “resource-share” approach, offered as an alternative to to or complement of the more commonly used - but cyclically oriented - approach, generally focused on the rate of change of such variables as prices, money supply and domestic credit. An application to the Italian case is presented as an illustration of this unfamiliar type of analysis. JEL: F32, F34, E63

subject: F33, F36, F42, Q43

description: In the aftermath of the oil crisis the greater part of OPEC surplus funds have been recycled through the American Banking system and the Eurodollar market. The present paper proposes a recycling mechanism which would be complementary with regard to those already in existence and those foreseeable for the future, such as SDR and ECU substitution accounts. According to the authors, such complimentary recycling is consistent with the present portfolio composition of the oil-exporting countries and would also promote faster growth. The recycling mechanisms in force before and after the 1973 crisis are fist compared. An extension of the lifecycle theory of saving is then used to provide a theoretical framework for the proposed recycling mechanism. This is followed by a formalisation of the basic proposal, a discussion of its main implications and conclusions. JEL: F33, F36, F42, Q43

description: With growing interest in the mid-infrared spectral region, dysprosium has recently been revisited for efficient high-performance infrared source development. Despite historically receiving less attention than other rare earth ions, in recent years lasers utilizing the dysprosium ion as the laser material have set record mid-infrared performance, including tunability from 2.8 to 3.4 um (in addition to 4.3 um lasing), continuous wave powers exceeding 10 W, greater than 73% slope efficiencies, and even ultrafast pulsed operation. Herein, the unique energy level structure and spectroscopy of the dysprosium ion are examined and the major developments that have led to this resurgence of interest and subsequent record mid-infrared laser performance are surveyed. Also mid-infrared applications of emerging dysprosium lasers are highlighted, in addition to surveying the many opportunities that lie ahead.
Europe enters the eighties

description: After a decade of instability, Europe now looks to the next decade with the goals of achieving stable growth and lower inflation. Unfortunately, instability cannot be eliminated simply by rhetoric or by relying on bureaucratic solutions. To achieve greater stability in the eighties, the countries of Europe must develop medium-term policies for external and internal balance which avoid the mistakes of the seventies. This paper, prepared by the “Shadow European Economic Policy Committee”, assesses the status of the European Monetary System, as well as the situation in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom, and specific proposals are made.

title: Emerging curriculum
Creators: name: Begg, Andrew John Cameron
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2006

description: In this autobiographical narrative study I consider how curriculum, in particular the mathematical curriculum, emerged for me throughout my life.

My aims with this study are:

- to show how my concept of curriculum has emerged and changed over time.

- to encourage others to envisage curriculum in a range of different, but complementary ways.

I started with a naive view of curriculum-the received curriculum. While teaching this changed. I began to appreciate levels of curriculum (national, school and classroom), to realize that within the constraints of a national curriculum I had professional freedom and to understand how students negotiate curriculum. I also became aware of curriculum as a continually changing process rather than a product.

As an education officer in the curriculum development division, my views evolved further. I juggled with the conflict between all planning for the classroom and curriculum as government policy. My understanding grew about the assessed curriculum, the global curriculum, the development process (based on a research-development-dissemination model) and the notion that a curriculum should operationalize educational aims. I realized that contradictory perspectives on curriculum needed to co-exist.

 In the last 15 years I worked in tertiary institutions. My scholarship focussed on curriculum-related matters. My view of curriculum became multi-dimensional and complex, with associated documents and development being inseparable from curriculum; and I formulated a model in which curriculum, development and other influencing activities are envisaged as a complex living system.

description: A közfoglalkoztatás alapvető célja a munkanélküliség és az elsődleges munkaerőpiac közötti átmenet biztosítása. Az elmúlt években mind a közfoglal-koztatási képzések, mind pedig magában a közfoglalkoztatásban résztvevők száma is folyamatosan emelkedett. A Herman Ottó Intézet (a továbbiakban: HOI) és jogelődje 2013 és 2015 között a mezőgazdasági termeléshez kapcsolódó állatgondozó, kerti munkás, illetve a sajtkészítő részszakképzéseket koordinálta. A 11 megye 106 települését érintő, összesen 139 megtartott képzést több mint 2400-an fejezték be sikeres vizsgával és kaptak lehetőséget a nagy élőmunka-igényű állattenyésztési és kertészeti ágazatokban való elhelyezkedésre. A bemutatott adatok alapján jól érzékelhető, hogy a program által érintett leghátrányosabb helyzetű kistérségekben (LHH) feltűnően magas az alulképzettek aránya, azaz megál-lapítható, hogy a HOI koordinálásában megvalósult képzések a ténylegesen rászorult célcsoportokat érték el. Magyarország az Európai Unióhoz hasonlóan kiemelten fontosnak tartja a foglalkoztatás bővítését, egyúttal az alacsony iskolai végzettségűek felzárkóztatását, támogatását. Jelen tanulmány egy, a leghátrányosabb helyzetű kistérségekben élők számára meghirdetett program eredményeit mutatja be, összhangban a Vidékfejlesztési Program keretében célul tűzött munkahelyteremtéssel. The basic objective of the public employment system is to provide transition from unemployment to the primary labour market. There has been a continuous increase in the public training programmes concerned and the number of participants over the last few years. Special courses connected to agricultural production, namely training for animal husbandry workers, garden workers and cheesemakers were coordinated by the Herman Otto Institute (HOI) and its predecessor in title between 2013 and 2015. More than 2400 participants from 106 settlements of 11 counties successfully completed one of the 139 courses and were given the opportunity to find a job in labour intensive animal breeding and horticulture. According to the data, the proportion of the population that is poorly trained is markedly high in the most backward micro regions. However, the target group of the courses coordinated by the HOI overlapped that part of the population. Hungary, similarly to the European Union, is prioritising the expansion of employment and supporting the integration of poorly educated citizens. The presented results of the special education courses of the micro-regions concerned are in accordance with the job creation activity of the Rural Development Programme.
Biased Tracers in Redshift Space in the EFTofLSS with exact time dependence

description: We study the effect of the Einstein - de Sitter (EdS) approximation on the one-loop power spectrum of galaxies in redshift space in the Effective Field Theory of Large-Scale Structure. The dark matter density perturbations and velocity divergence are treated with exact time dependence. Splitting the density perturbation into its different temporal evolutions naturally gives rise to an irreducible basis of biases. While, as in the EdS approximation, at each time this basis spans a seven-dimensional space, this space is a slightly different one, and the difference is captured by a single calculable time- and $\vec k$-dependent function. We then compute the redshift-space galaxy one-loop power spectrum with the EdS approximation ($P^{\text{EdS-approx}}$) and without ($P^{\text{Exact}}$). For the monopole we find $P_{\text{0}}^{\text{Exact}}/P_{\text{0}}^{\text{EdS-approx}}\sim 1.003$ and for the quadrupole $P_{\text{2}}^{\text{Exact}}/P_{\text{2}}^{\text{EdS-approx}}\sim 1.007$ at $z=0.57$, and sharply increasing at lower redshifts. Finally, we show that a substantial fraction of the effect remains even after allowing the bias coefficients to shift within a physically allowed range. This suggests that the EdS approximation can only fit the data to a level of precision that is roughly comparable to the precision of the next generation of cosmological surveys. Furthermore, we find that implementing the exact time dependence formalism is not demanding and is easily applicable to data. Both of these points motivate a direct study of this effect on the cosmological parameters.

Subjects: subject: Italy, labour force, development, productive capacity, income distribution, structural imbalances
subject: E23, E24

description: The paper is largely based on the main findings of the research on the state of the utilisation of the labour force in Italy, carried out by a group of economists at the Faculty of Economics and the ISTAO of Ancona, from 1974 to 1978. The study analysed the Italian economy’s lagged level of development by making international comparisons of the structure of productive capacity and income distribution, and their relations with the labour market. In this regard, the structural imbalances of the productive system and the dualism in the labour market between the regular and irregular employment sectors were highlighted. The author provides an overall view of the most important empirical conclusions of the study. JEL: E23, E24
