description: The aim of the paper is to present challenges generated by globalization in modern supply chains. First, authors point to the fact that, today, companies cannot successfully fulfill the requirements of customers and increase global competitiveness without establishing close relationships with key suppliers and without better coordination of internal and external flows of materials. Then, the focus shifts to the importance of harmonizing relations with suppliers and distributors to increase the company’s supply chain resilience to global environmental impacts. The final part presents responsibility of production managers, procurement managers, and other professionals to implement strategies that would enable the development of flexible and cost-efficient supply chains, more resistant to environmental changes.

description: The core goal of this paper is to assess the level of finacial inclusion in Republic of Macedonia. The level of financial incluison in a country is important because it can facilitate the reduction of poverty in a country. Aslo the higher level of financial inclusion can have positive impact on macroeconomic development by facilitating the economic growth. The main mechanisams are lower transactional costs and better distribution of capital. Also the level of financial inclusion is important for effective execution of other social policies. The level of financial inclusion in Macedonia is on satisfactory level which was driven by the legislation also. Almoust all the population have access to bank account which is good base for further measures. Still, the use of the account only to receive wage and withdraw from ATM indicates for higher need for financial education. Also, the new payment methods like credit cards or electronic payments are on very low level which further emphasizes the need for education in which the banks must have more active role. The borrowings in major part are from relative and friends and from retail stores. In all categories as less financially included are older people, people with smaller income and people how are less educated. This gives clear path for the policy makers where to focus its activities of enhancement of the level of financial education.

description: A particle beam may undergo an anomalous spatial shift when it is reflected at an interface. The shift forms a vector field defined in the two-dimensional interface momentum space. We show that, although the shift vector at individual momentum is typically sensitive to the system details, its integral along a close loop, i.e., its circulation, could yield a robust quantized number under certain symmetry conditions of interest. Particularly, this is the case when the beam is incident from a trivial medium, then the quantized circulation of anomalous shift (CAS) directly manifests the topological character of the other medium. We demonstrate that the topological charge of a Weyl medium as well as the unconventional pair potentials of a superconductor can be captured and distinguished by CAS. Our work unveils a hidden quantized feature in a ubiquitous physical process, which may also offer a new approach for probing topological media.

description: When it comes to the development of small and medium-sized enterprises in Serbia, special attention is given to the growth of small, family ones, mostly those which are involved in the food industry, which is a foundation for the development of rural areas. The plans of reviving Serbian village are a recurring topic. The reasons for this revival are the favorable geographic position, rich natural treasures, interesting tradition, and history. One must pay attention to the fact that 85% of the territory in Serbia has rural features and that 50% of citizens inhabits those areas. Through surveys, this paper explores how entrepreneurs manage their businesses in the countryside, especially in the field of tourism in the Pomoravlje District. 50 entrepreneurs, chosen by rendom sampling, were interviewed, and attention is given to hospitality companies, recreation centers or wineries which deal with grape processing and winemaking. What these entrepreneurs have in common is the fact that they run family enterprises, and that high tax rates and poorly equipped infrastructure in local communities are the basic obstacles for further development and growth of their enterprises.

description: The stochastic simulation algorithm (SSA) and the corresponding Monte Carlo (MC) method are among the most common approaches for studying stochastic processes. They rely on knowledge of interevent probability density functions (PDFs) and on information about dependencies between all possible events. Analytical representations of a PDF are difficult to specify in advance, in many real life applications. Knowing the shapes of PDFs, and using experimental data, different optimization schemes can be applied in order to evaluate probability density functions and, therefore, the properties of the studied system. Such methods, however, are computationally demanding, and often not feasible. We show that, in the case where experimentally accessed properties are directly related to the frequencies of events involved, it may be possible to replace the heavy Monte Carlo core of optimization schemes with an analytical solution. Such a replacement not only provides a more accurate estimation of the properties of the process, but also reduces the simulation time by a factor of order of the sample size (at least $\approx 10^4$). The proposed analytical approach is valid for any choice of PDF. The accuracy, computational efficiency, and advantages of the method over MC procedures are demonstrated in the exactly solvable case and in the evaluation of branching fractions in controlled radical polymerization (CRP) of acrylic monomers. This polymerization can be modeled by a constrained stochastic process. Constrained systems are quite common, and this makes the method useful for various applications.

description: Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs), which can deliberately adjust the phase of incident waves, have shown enormous potentials to reconfigure the signal propagation for performance enhancement. In this paper, we investigate the RIS-aided offshore system to provide a cost-effective coverage of high-speed data service. The shipborne RIS is placed offshore to improve the signal quality at the vessels, and the coastal base station is equipped with low-cost reconfigurable reflect-arrays (RRAs), instead of the conventional costly fully digital antenna arrays (FDAAs), to reduce the hardware cost. In order to meet the rate requirements of diversified maritime activities, the effective sum rate (ESR) is studied by jointly optimizing the beamforming scheme and the service time allocated to each vessel. The optimal allocation scheme is derived, and an efficient fixed-point based alternating ascent method is developed to obtain a suboptimal solution to the non-convex beamforming problem. Numerical results show that the ESR is considerably improved with the aid of the RIS, and the proposed scheme using the hardwareefficient RRAs has only a slight performance loss, compared to its FDAA-based counterpart.
Two-loop Improved Truncation of the Ghost-Gluon Dyson-Schwinger Equations: Multiplicatively Renormalizable Propagators and Nonperturbative Running Coupling

description: The coupled Dyson-Schwinger equations for the gluon and ghost propagators are investigated in the Landau gauge using a two-loop improved truncation that preserves the multiplicative renormalizability of the propagators. In this truncation all diagrams contribute to the leading order infrared analysis. The infrared contributions of the nonperturbative two-loop diagrams to the gluon vacuum polarization are computed analytically, and this reveals that infrared power behaved propagator solutions only exist when the squint diagram contribution is taken into account. For small momenta the gluon and ghost dressing functions behave respectively like (p^2)^{2κ} and (p^2)^{-κ}, and the running coupling exhibits a fixed point. The values of the infrared exponent and fixed point depend on the precise details of the truncation. The coupled ghost-gluon system is solved numerically for all momenta, and the solutions have infrared behaviors consistent with the predictions of the infrared analysis. For truncation parameters chosen such that κ=0.5, the two-loop improved truncation is able to produce solutions for the propagators and running coupling which are in very good agreement with recent lattice simulations.

description: The development of information and communication technologies, especially the Internet, has led to drastic changes in all spheres of human life and work. Although some of these changes have very positive effects, others are extremely negative. One example of the latter is a new kind of terrorism and criminal activity which is based on the use of the non-indexed part of the Internet which is called dark Web. Generally positive features such as access to information about Internet users, anonymity and protection of personal data are used with the evil intention of acquiring illegal profit and spreading ethnic hatred and intolerance. This paper gives a brief overview of documented ways for accessing this part of web, and examples of abuses of its features.
Pure Architecture
Creators: name: Reive, William
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: This thesis began in the pursuit for an alternative way of conceiving architecture that is meaningful and relevant to how we currently construct identity. The thesis then looks at how contemporary architectural theorists and practitioners such as Rem Koolhaas, Kersten Geers and David Van Severen, and Valerio Olgiati are exploring the ideas of pure and non-referential architecture. The thesis situates itself in the period after post-modernism, where architecture can liberate itself from symbolism, uniqueness and extra architectural ideas to produce pure form. This project stands behind the notion that architecture can operate autonomously from its context. As experience of form is the most fundamental engagement with a viewer, pure architecture, in its essence, is concerned with form, space, and their experience at the exclusion of all else.

description: We point out that the recent WMAP findings of a suppressed large scale power in the Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropy power spectrum, if of cosmological origin, make the case for a new cosmic coincidence problem.The observed suppression of anisotropies at large angles requires an explanation for why this suppression is occuring {\it only} for perturbation wavelengths of the order of our present Hubble horizon. This is a very challenging task since a consistent model for the emerging picture of the universe has to address any cosmic coincidence and thus may reveal a deeper inter-relation with the dark energy problem.

description: We derive a new representation for spin-spin correlation functions of the finite XXZ spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain in terms of a single multiple integral, that we call the master equation. Evaluation of this master equation gives rise on the one hand to the previously obtained multiple integral formulas for the spin-spin correlation functions and on the other hand to their expansion in terms of the form factors of the local spin operators. Hence, it provides a direct analytic link between these two representations of the correlation functions and a complete re-summation of the corresponding series. The master equation method also allows one to obtain multiple integral representations for dynamical correlation functions.

description: Semantic segmentation and depth estimation are two important tasks in the area of image processing. Traditionally, these two tasks are addressed in an independent manner. However, for those applications where geometric and semantic information is required, such as robotics or autonomous navigation,depth or semantic segmentation alone are not sufficient. In this paper, depth estimation and semantic segmentation are addressed together from a single input image through a hybrid convolutional network. Different from the state of the art methods where features are extracted by a sole feature extraction network for both tasks, the proposed HybridNet improves the features extraction by separating the relevant features for one task from those which are relevant for both. Experimental results demonstrate that HybridNet results are comparable with the state of the art methods, as well as the single task methods that HybridNet is based on.

An Axiomatic Analysis of Economic Equilibrium”, that gave him the Prize of the Bank of Sweden in Economics in 1983, mathematical economics which pretends to be considered the purest of scientific theories of economic equilibrium, gained a new incentive to expand. The aim of the article is to demonstrate some weak points of the Debreu model which allow to challenge its economic validity due to misinterpreting the economic content of variables used in his model of economy After a critical analysis of inconsistencies of the arguments and of semantic errors of the applied terms, conclusions concerning the theory of equilibrium are presented.

description: Within the framework of the Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau (DKP) formalism with a deformation, an approach to the construction of the path integral representation in parasuperspace for the Green's function of a spin-1 massive particle in external Maxwell's field is developed. For this purpose a connection between the deformed DKP-algebra and an extended system of the parafermion trilinear commutation relations for the creation and annihilation operators $a^{\pm}_{k}$ and for an additional operator $a_{0}$ obeying para-Fermi statistics of order 2 based on the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{so}(2M+2)$ is established. The representation for the operator $a_{0}$ in terms of generators of the orthogonal group $SO(2M)$ correctly reproducing action of this operator on the state vectors of Fock space is obtained. An appropriate system of the parafermion coherent states as functions of para-Grassmann numbers is introduced. The procedure of the construction of finite-multiplicity approximation for determination of the path integral in the relevant phase space is defined through insertion in the kernel of the evolution operator with respect to para-supertime of resolutions of the identity. In the basis of parafermion coherent states a matrix element of the contribution linear in covariant derivative $\hat{D}_μ$ to the time-dependent Hamilton operator $\hat{\cal H}(τ)$, is calculated in an explicit form. For this purpose the matrix elements of the operators $a^{\phantom{2}}_0$, $a_{0}^{2}$, the commutators $[\hspace{0.03cm}a^{\phantom{\pm}\!}_{0}, a^{\pm}_{n}\hspace{0.02cm}]$, $[\hspace{0.03cm}a^{2}_{0}, a^{\pm}_{n}\hspace{0.02cm}]$, and the product $\hat{A}\hspace{0.03cm}[\hspace{0.03cm}a^{\phantom{\pm}\!}_{0}, a^{\pm}_{n}\hspace{0.02cm}]$ with $\hat{A} \equiv\exp\hspace{0.02cm}\bigl(-i\frac{2π}{3}\,a_{0}\bigr)$, were preliminary defined.

description: The recent detection of variable infrared emission from Sagittarius A*, combined with its previously observed flare activity in X-rays, provides compelling evidence that at least a portion of this object's emission is produced by nonthermal electrons. We show here that acceleration of electrons by plasma wave turbulence in hot gases near the black hole's event horizon can account both for Sagittarius A*'s mm and shorter wavelengths emission in the quiescent state, and for the infrared and X-ray flares, induced either via an enhancement of the mass accretion rate onto the black hole or by a reorganization of the magnetic field coupled to the accretion gas. The acceleration model proposed here produces distinct flare spectra that may be compared with future coordinated multi-wavelength observations. We further suggest that the diffusion of high energy electrons away from the acceleration site toward larger radii might be able to account for the observed characteristics of Sagittarius A*'s emission at cm and longer wavelengths.

description: We examine the two-dimensional U(N) Yang-Mills theory by using the technique of random partitions. We show that the large N limit of the partition function of the 2D Yang-Mills theory on S^2 reproduces the instanton counting of 4D N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories introduced by Nekrasov. We also discuss that we can take the ``double scaling limit'' by fixing the product of the N and cell size in Young diagrams, and the effective action given by Douglas and Kazakov is naturally obtained by taking this limit. We give an interpretation for our result from the view point of the superstring theory by considering a brane configuration that realizes 4D N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories.

description: We study the ballistic conductivity of bilayer graphene in the presence of symmetry-breaking terms in effective Hamiltonian for low-energy excitations, such as the trigonal-warping term ($γ_3$), the electron-hole symmetry breaking interlayer hopping ($γ_4$), and the staggered potential ($δ_{AB}$). Earlier, it was shown that for $γ_3\neq{}0$, in the absence of remaining symmetry-breaking terms (i.e., $γ_4=δ_{AB}=0$), the conductivity ($σ$) approaches the value of $3σ_0$ for the system size $L\rightarrow{}\infty$ (with $σ_0=8e^2/(πh)$ being the result in the absence of trigonal warping, $γ_3=0$). We demonstrate that $γ_4\neq{}0$ leads to the divergent conductivity if $γ_3\neq{}0$, or to the vanishing conductivity if $γ_3=0$. For realistic values of the tight-binding model parameters, $γ_3=0.3\,$eV, $γ_4=0.15\,$eV (and $δ_{AB}=0$), the conductivity values are in the range of $σ/σ_0\approx{}4-5$ for $100\,$nm$\

Creators: name: Lalonde Lavergne, Félix-Antoine

description: Architecture plays a role in the ways we represent, experience, think and therefore produce the world. In an age of environmental instability, this project posit that architecture’s raw material is the vast array of attitudes that we have towards the material world. As such, architecture is both a mean to convey narratives about how we mentally represent our environment to ourselves and a manifestation of those mental representations; An artifact. The goal of this project is to explore how the play between those attitudes can act as a point of contact between human and climatic spatio-temporal scales. Between the architectural narrative and the environmental imaginary. Drawing on concepts such as friction, entanglement, fragmentation and alterity, the project takes form through heterarchical narratives centered around a climatic phenomenon; the movement of mineral dust between two continents.

description: Safety analyses in terms of adverse events (AEs) are an important aspect of benefit-risk assessments of therapies. Compared to efficacy analyses AE analyses are often rather simplistic. The probability of an AE of a specific type is typically estimated by the incidence proportion, sometimes the incidence density or the Kaplan-Meier estimator are proposed. But these analyses either do not account for censoring, rely on a too restrictive parametric model, or ignore competing events. With the non-parametric Aalen-Johansen estimator as the gold-standard, these potential sources of bias are investigated in a data example from oncology and in simulations, both in the one-sample and in the two-sample case. As the estimators may have large variances at the end of follow-up, the estimators are not only compared at the maximal event time but also at two quantiles of the observed times. To date, consequences for safety comparisons have hardly been investigated in the literature. The impact of using different estimators for group comparisons is unclear, as, for example, the ratio of two both underestimating or overestimating estimators may or may not be comparable to the ratio of the gold-standard estimator. Therefore, the ratio of the AE probabilities is also calculated based on different approaches. By simulations investigating constant and non-constant hazards, different censoring mechanisms and event frequencies, we show that ignoring competing events is more of a problem than falsely assuming constant hazards by use of the incidence density and that the choice of the AE probability estimator is crucial for group comparisons.

description: In this paper we introduce and analyse, from a game theoretical perspective, several multi-agent or multi-item continuous review inventory models in which the buyers are exempted from ordering costs if the price of their orders is greater than or equal to a certain amount. For all models we obtain the optimal ordering policy. We first analyse a simple model with one firm and one item. Then, we study a model with one firm and several items, for which we design a procedure based on cooperative game theory to evaluate the impact of each item on the total cost. Then, we deal with a model with several firms and one item for each firm, for which we characterise a rule to allocate the total cost among the firms in a coalitionally stable way. Finally, we discuss a model with several firms and several items, for which we characterise a rule to allocate the total cost among the firms in a coalitionally stable way and to evaluate the impact of each item on the cost that would be payable to each firm when using the allocation rule. All the concepts and results of this article are illustrated using data from a case study.

description: The neuronal networks in the mammals cortex are characterized by the coexistence of hierarchy, modularity, short and long range interactions, spatial correlations, and topographical connections. Particularly interesting, the latter type of organization implies special demands on the evolutionary and ontogenetic systems in order to achieve precise maps preserving spatial adjacencies, even at the expense of isometry. Although object of intensive biological research, the elucidation of the main anatomic-functional purposes of the ubiquitous topographical connections in the mammals brain remains an elusive issue. The present work reports on how recent results from complex network formalism can be used to quantify and model the effect of topographical connections between neuronal cells over a number of relevant network properties such as connectivity, adjacency, and information broadcasting. While the topographical mapping between two cortical modules are achieved by connecting nearest cells from each module, three kinds of network models are adopted for implementing intracortical connections (ICC), including random, preferential-attachment, and short-range networks. It is shown that, though spatially uniform and simple, topographical connections between modules can lead to major changes in the network properties, fostering more effective intercommunication between the involved neuronal cells and modules. The possible implications of such effects on cortical operation are discussed.

description: We report the first detection of the lowest CO transition in a sub-millimetre bright galaxy and extremely red object (ERO) at z = 1.44 using the Very Large Array. The total J = 1 - 0 line luminosity of ERO J164502+4626.4 is (7+-1) x 10^{10} K km s^{-1} pc^2, which yields a total molecular gas mass of ~6 x 10^{10} Msun. We also present a map of the 850-um continuum emission obtained using SCUBA, from which we infer a far-IR luminosity and dust mass of L_FIR ~ 9 x 10^{12} Lsun and M_d ~ 9 x 10^{8} Msun. We find tentative evidence that the CO and sub-mm dust emission is extended over several tens of kpc. If confirmed by high-resolution imaging, this implies that ERO J164502+4626.4 is not simply a high redshift counterpart of a typical Ultra Luminous Infrared Galaxy (ULIRG).

description: Magnetic quivers have led to significant progress in the understanding of gauge theories with 8 supercharges at UV fixed points. For a given low-energy gauge theory realised via a Type II brane construction, there exist magnetic quivers for the Higgs branches at finite and infinite gauge coupling. Comparing these moduli spaces allows to study the non-perturbative effects when transitioning to the fixed point. For 5d $\mathcal{N}=1$ SQCD, 5-brane webs have been an important tool for deriving magnetic quivers. In this work, the emphasis is placed on 5-brane webs with orientifold 5-planes which give rise to 5d theories with orthogonal or symplectic gauge groups. For this set-up, the magnetic quiver prescription is derived and contrasted against a unitary magnetic quiver description extracted from an O$7^-$ construction. Further validation is achieved by a derivation of the associated Hasse diagrams. An important class of families considered are the orthogonal exceptional $E_n$ families ($-\infty < n \leq 8$), realised as infinite coupling Higgs branches of $\mathrm{Sp}(k)$ gauge theories with fundamental matter. In particular, the moduli spaces are realised by a novel type of magnetic quivers, called unitary-orthosymplectic quivers.

Form Invariance of the Neutrino Mass Matrix

description: Consider the most general $3 \times 3$ Majorana neutrino mass matrix $\cal M$. Motivated by present neutrino-oscillation data, much theoretical effort is directed at reducing it to a specific texture in terms of a small number of parameters. This procedure is often {\it ad hoc}. I propose instead that for any $\cal M$ one may choose, it should satisfy the condition $U {\cal M} U^T = {\cal M}$, where $U \neq 1$ is a specific unitary matrix such that $U^N$ represents a well-defined discrete symmetry in the $ν_{e,μ,τ}$ basis, $N$ being a particular integer not necessarily equal to one. I illustrate this idea with a number of examples, including the realistic case of an inverted hierarchy of neutrino masses.
