description: Exposure to arsenic and the use of arsenic-contaminated groundwater in agriculture causes serious health issues. Complete or partial contamination of groundwater is reported worldwide, especially in the Eastern Gangetic Basin (EGB). This study aims to create an overall assessment of arsenic contamination in the EGB based on existing literature, demarcate the extent of the affected area, highlight the impacts on the food chain and human health, and hopes the research will help in the better planning and management of groundwater. Although several studies have evaluated arsenic contamination of groundwater in the EGB, (a) there is no proper long-term monitoring being done in affected areas; (b) there is a debate to identify the exact source and transport processes of arsenic occurrence in this region; (c) there is no comprehensive method to estimate the level of arsenic contamination in soil, water and the food chain; and (d) Arsenic contamination in Bihar and Nepal is not evaluated systematically, especially arsenic accumulation in the food chain and human health issues. Data scarcity and accessibility are the major challenges in this region. Thus, this review recommends systematic monitoring and analysis of arsenic contamination in groundwater, soils and food across the EGB.

description: Abstract This Action Research took place within a specialist music boarding school in England by the school physiotherapist. It was conceived as a direct result of the physiotherapists concerns about the number of preventable and recurrent playing-related musculoskeletal disorders that she was treating in the pupil population, and is set within the framework of studying part-time for a Doctor of Education award. It aimed to i. increase stakeholder-awareness of risk factors for playing-related musculoskeletal disorders in young musicians ii. engage key stakeholders in change behaviour to promote practices that place pupils at less risk for playing-related musculoskeletal disorders Key stakeholders were identified as pupils, parents, instrument teachers, boarding house staff and the music heads of departments. An audit of physiotherapy notes established the incidence of acute, chronic and recurrent playing-related injuries, and revealed five main risk factors for injury. There were two complete cycles of Action Research involving the key stakeholders. The first used focus group meetings and surveys to engage key stakeholder groups with issues of playing-related musculoskeletal disorders and to try and increase awareness of the risk factors. Two ‘light-bulb moments’ arose between the first and second cycles of Action Research. The first resulted in the realisation that assessment can drive learning, culminating in the inclusion of an element of knowledge about risk factors for playing-related injury within the internal school instrument assessment process, and the second was the realisation that the occurrence of preventable playing-related injuries was a safeguarding issue, resulting in the development and introduction of a playing-related injury prevention policy at the school. The effect of the second cycle of Action Research was evaluated via surveys and another audit of physiotherapy notes. The results showed little change in stakeholder awareness of the risk factors for injury, but showed a marked change in pupils behaviour towards management of injuries, with more acute and fewer chronic and recurrent injuries being treated. This project has generated significant interest beyond the school.

description: The bulk photovoltaic effect generates intrinsic photocurrents in materials without inversion symmetry. Shift current is one of the bulk photovoltaic phenomena related to the Berry phase of the constituting electronic bands: photo-excited carriers coherently shift in real space due to the difference in the Berry connection between the valence and conduction bands. Ferroelectric semiconductors and Weyl semimetals are known to exhibit such nonlinear optical phenomena. Here we consider chalcopyrite semiconductor ZnSnP$_2$ which lacks inversion symmetry and calculate the shift current conductivity. We find that the magnitude of the shift current is comparable to the recently measured values on other ferroelectric semiconductors and an order of magnitude larger than bismuth ferrite. The peak response for both optical and shift current conductivity, which mainly comes from P-3$p$ and Sn-5$p$ orbitals, is several eV above the bandgap.

description: Based on a case study in Ethiopia, this paper shows that while farmers understand the social nature of community-managed irrigation, they share a narrow understanding of pump irrigation with policymakers as being primarily ‘technical’. They perceive pumps as liberating them from the ‘social’ limitations of traditional communal irrigation. However, the rapid expansion of pump irrigation is leading to increasing competition and conflict over limited water resources. We analyze the wider implications for Africa of this lack of visibility of the social dimension of pump irrigation, and offer suggestions for future policy and applied research to address the problem before it becomes a widespread crisis.

description: To compare the creation and development of school culture in amalgamated schools and multi-academy trusts from a teacher perspective; a longitudinal, mixed methods multiple case study. Wayne Birks, Ed. D. student, Clare Hall and Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge Abstract The English educational landscape has, over the last 25 years, been dominated by structural and system innovation. Local management of schools, grant-maintained schools, federations and, more recently, the creation of academies and multi-academy trusts, large and small have brought increasing autonomy to UK schools against a backdrop of high accountability. Centrally-driven, these developments have been pursued as potential game-changers. The impact of such profound change upon the culture of UK schools has received little attention. Indeed, the potential of that culture, a culture which can be created or moulded to deliver school and policy objectives, has hitherto been overlooked. The purpose of this study is to compare the creation and development of school culture, from a teacher perspective, in three English secondary schools. The research is set in case study schools that are either part of a multi-academy trust or the product of an amalgamation. This study analyses the components of school culture over time in order to understand how school culture develops. It assesses the impact of leadership strategies and other factors on that development. The format is a longitudinal, multiple case study using a concurrent mixed methods design in which quantitative and qualitative data is mixed to produce a 'measure' of cultural ‘health’ through a teacher questionnaire and paired interviews with participants grouped according to role. Researchers have found school culture to define. This study finds that teachers recognise and value the culture in their schools. They were able to identify cultural components and the factors which shaped them, including the actions of school leaders. This study confirms the central role of school culture in the creation of a climate for change, one which is significantly influenced by school leaders. It finds evidence that school culture is vulnerable in the face of challenge and that a damaged culture negatively impacts the ability of school leaders to improve student outcomes. The study concludes by offering a cause and effect diagram that might help school leaders or policy-makers seeking to strengthen school culture in a single setting or across a multi-academy trust.

description: Classical conditioning of the eyeblink response is a well-established model of cerebellar-dependent associative motor learning. In this paradigm an initially neutral conditioned stimulus (CS - e.g. an auditory tone or light) that elicits no response is paired with an aversive unconditioned stimulus (US -e.g. an air puff to the eye ) that elicits an innate reflex blink response. A CS paired with the US at a fixed latency comes to elicit a predictive blink, if the CS begins sufficiently in advance of the US. A predictive blink is such that eyelid closure is maximal at the time of expected air puff delivery. Physical and pharmacological manipulation experiments have determined that this behaviour is dependent on the cerebellum, and theoretical accounts based on the structure of the cerebellum have proposed that it represents a mechanism for this type of learning (Marr, 1969; Albus, 1971). The cerebellum has two distinct afferent pathways. The first are the mossy fibres which have diverse origins from various nuclei, including sensory structures. The second pathway is that of the climbing fibres that originate from the inferior olivary nuclei. In Marr’s proposal, the climbing fibres represent instructive signals for plasticity, and the mossy fibres carry "context" information on which plasticity operates so that the contextual signals can activate learned movements. Studies in the eyeblink paradigm have confirmed that the climbing fibre activity is correlated with the US and that they encode error signals. Unexp ected aversive stimuli cause an increase in activity of climbing fibres, whereas the absence of a predicted aversive stimulus causes a decrease in the activity. Recent evidence has revealed that after training the climbing fibres become responsive to the conditioned stimulus, firing shortly after its onset. This suggests that the conditioned stimulus now has a prediction error value and could itself become a conditioned reinforcer. To test this experiments were devised in both rabbit and human subjects using second-order conditioning schedules, where conventional pairings of a CS1 and the US were interleaved with pairings of a different CS2 and the CS1 (but no US). Consistent results were obtained from both sets of experiments: some subjects learned to respond to the CS2, but more weakly than to the CS1. Strikingly the responses to the CS2 were more closely tied to the onset of CS1 (the time at which climbing fibres respond after training) rather than to the time of expected US. These findings confirm that the CS1 can become a conditioned reinforcer, but have implications for the prevailing view that eyeblink conditioning as a paradigm is primarily about the timing of the response. The relevance of the experimental eyeblink paradigms to natural behaviour is discussed.

This framework is applied to the study of the GRB991216 which is used as a prototype.

description: Many black-hole sources emit a substantial fraction of their luminosities in blackbody-like spectral components. It is usual to assume that these are produced in regions at least comparable in size to the hole's Schwarzschild radius, so that a measure of the emitting area provides an estimate of the black hole mass M. However there is then no guarantee that the source luminosity (if isotropic) obeys the Eddington limit corresponding to M. We show that the apparent blackbody luminosity L_sph and temperature T must obey the inequality L_sph < 2.3 10^44 (T/100 eV)^-4 erg s^-1 for this to hold. Sources violating this limit include ultrasoft AGN and some of the ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) observed in nearby galaxies. We discuss the possible consequences of this result, which imply either super-Eddington or anisotropic emission in both cases. We suggest that the ultrasoft AGN are the AGN analogues of the ULXs.

description: The voltammetric determination of quercetin in tea samples was performed at a modified sensor which was fabricated by the addition of a single-walled carbon nanotube dispersion on a glassy carbon electrode. Due to the electrochemcal activity of quercetin, electroanalytical methods were used with great success for the determination of quercetin. The electrochemical properties of quercetin were investigated. Quercetin in water and methanol extracts of tea samples were determined at the modified glassy carbon electrode by using square wave voltammetry. The results were found to be 116.4 and 116.3 µg quercetin equivalent/g dry green tea, 127.9 and 104.24 µg quercetin equivalent/g dry basil tea 27.5 and 26.1 µg quercetin equivalent/g dry black tea. The limit of detection and limit of quantification values for quercetin for the 0.01 to 100 µM concentration range were 7.7 nM and 25.6 nM, respectively. Very low concentrations of quercetin were successfully determined by square wave voltammetry with sensitivity and selectivity.

description: The question of whether there is a logic that characterises polynomial-time is arguably the most important open question in finite model theory. The study of extensions of fixed-point logic are of central importance to this question. It was shown by Anderson and Dawar that fixed-point logic with counting (FPC) has the same expressive power as uniform families of symmetric circuits over a basis with threshold functions. In this thesis we prove a far-reaching generalisation of their result and establish an analogous circuit characterisation for each from a broad range of extensions of fixed-point logic. In order to do so we fist develop a very general framework for defining and studying extensions of fixed-point logics, which we call generalised operators. These operators generalise Lindström quantifiers as well as the counting and rank operators used to define FPC and fixed-point logic with rank (FPR). We also show that in order to define a symmetric circuit model that goes beyond FPC we need to consider circuits with gates that are allowed to compute non-symmetric functions. In order to do so we develop a far more general framework for studying circuits. We also show that key notions, such as the notion of a symmetric circuit, can be analogously defined in this more general framework. The characterisation of FPC in terms of symmetric circuits, and the treatment of circuits generally, relies heavily on the assumption that the gates in the circuit compute symmetric functions. We develop a broad range of new techniques and approaches in order to study these more general symmetric circuit models. As a corollary of our main result we establish a circuit characterisation of FPR. We also show that the question of whether there is a logic that characterises polynomial-time can be understood as a question about the symmetry property of circuits. We lastly propose a number of new approaches that might exploit this new-found connection between circuit complexity and descriptive complexity.

description: In a quantum many-body system that possesses an additive conserved quantity, the entanglement entropy of a subsystem can be resolved into a sum of contributions from different sectors of the subsystem's reduced density matrix, each sector corresponding to a possible value of the conserved quantity. Recent studies have discussed the basic properties of these symmetry-resolved contributions, and calculated them using conformal field theory and numerical methods. In this work we employ the generalized Fisher-Hartwig conjecture to obtain exact results for the characteristic function of the symmetry-resolved entanglement ("flux-resolved entanglement") for certain 1D spin chains, or, equivalently, the 1D fermionic tight binding and the Kitaev chain models. These results are true up to corrections of order $o(L^{-1})$ where $L$ is the subsystem size. We confirm that this calculation is in good agreement with numerical results. For the gapless tight binding chain we report an intriguing periodic structure of the characteristic functions, which nicely extends the structure predicted by conformal field theory. For the Kitaev chain in the topological phase we demonstrate the degeneracy between the even and odd fermion parity sectors of the entanglement spectrum due to virtual Majoranas at the entanglement cut. We also employ the Widom conjecture to obtain the leading behavior of the symmetry-resolved entanglement entropy in higher dimensions for an ungapped free Fermi gas in its ground state.

description: A review of global water demand projections (WDPs) show substantial overpredictions or under-predictions. The pre-1990 WDPs, with population as the main driver of change, overpredicted current water use by 20 to 130%. The post-1990 WDPs, with sophisticated modeling frameworks, show substantial underestimation under the ‘business-as-usual’ scenarios and are more downward biased under sustainable scenarios. Overall, the value of long-term country-level projections in global WDPs is inadequate for local water resource planning. To increase the accuracy and value of global WDPs, future WDPs should take into account the spatial variation and influence of rapidly changing key exogenous and endogenous drivers of water demand in different sectors across and within countries, and provide a sensitivity analysis of projections.

description: Every shot in basketball has an opportunity cost; one player's shot eliminates all potential opportunities from their teammates for that play. For this reason, player-shot efficiency should ultimately be considered relative to the lineup. This aspect of efficiency---the optimal way to allocate shots within a lineup---is the focus of our paper. Allocative efficiency should be considered in a spatial context since the distribution of shot attempts within a lineup is highly dependent on court location. We propose a new metric for spatial allocative efficiency by comparing a player's field goal percentage (FG%) to their field goal attempt (FGA) rate in context of both their four teammates on the court and the spatial distribution of their shots. Leveraging publicly available data provided by the National Basketball Association (NBA), we estimate player FG% at every location in the offensive half court using a Bayesian hierarchical model. Then, by ordering a lineup's estimated FG%s and pairing these rankings with the lineup's empirical FGA rate rankings, we detect areas where the lineup exhibits inefficient shot allocation. Lastly, we analyze the impact that sub-optimal shot allocation has on a team's overall offensive potential, demonstrating that inefficient shot allocation correlates with reduced scoring.

description: This report analyzes the influence of agrarian transformations on the feminization of agricultural production in rural Tajikistan. It explores women’s multiple labor relations for meeting basic needs of the household. The evidence shows that households have to depend on more types of agricultural work to secure day-to-day as well as long-term livelihood security. Overall, feminization appears in different types and groupings. The implication is that women in agriculture might not be adequately targeted in policies or integrated within intervention programs.

description: Extrasolar systems with planets on eccentric orbits close to or in mean-motion resonances are common. The classical low-order resonant Hamiltonian expansion is unfit to describe the long-term evolution of these systems. We extend the Laplace-Lagrange secular approximation for coplanar systems with two planets by including (near-)resonant harmonics, and realize an expansion at high order in the eccentricities of the resonant Hamiltonian both at orders one and two in the masses. We show that the expansion at first order in the masses gives a qualitative good approximation of the dynamics of resonant extrasolar systems with moderate eccentricities, while the second order is needed to reproduce more accurately their orbital evolutions. The resonant approach is also required to correct the secular frequencies of the motion given by the Laplace-Lagrange secular theory in the vicinity of a mean-motion resonance. The dynamical evolutions of four (near-)resonant extrasolar systems are discussed, namely GJ 876 (2:1 resonance), HD 60532 (3:1), HD 108874 and GJ 3293 (close to 4:1).

description: The proportion of persons aged 65 and older in Singapore has almost tripled within the last four decades – rising from about 5 to 7.2 per cent of the population between 1980 to 2000, and currently at almost 14 per cent in 2018. With the total fertility rate remaining low (1.16 in 2017), and life expectancy at birth continuing to rise (83.1 years in 2017), about a quarter of Singaporeans are expected to be 65 years or older by 2030. Older persons are also staying healthier for longer periods of later life which, taken together with other demographic ageing factors, have raised widespread concerns including the inadequacy of retirement funds and increasing costs of long-term care for seniors. For many older persons in Singapore, the post-retirement years have entailed downward socioeconomic mobility due mainly to the loss of earning capacity, lack of support, and higher financial precarity. Using primary data obtained from qualitative interviews with 36 vulnerable older men and women from the three major ethnic groups in Singapore (Chinese, Malay and Indian), my empirical research investigates the multiple determinants and diverse scenarios of socioeconomic decline. I identify three different scenarios of vulnerability: perpetual vulnerability; deferred vulnerability and contingent vulnerability. Whether situations of older people become less or more secure – in the short- and longer-term, depends on their ability to undertake formal or informal work and the quality of their socio-family relationships. Building on the relevant theoretical literature, this thesis demonstrates how crucial aspects of older people’s life-course trajectories lead up to their current situations of vulnerability. I illustrate how vulnerability is negotiated through a variety of survival strategies and coping mechanisms. In addition, in-depth qualitative findings reveal the systemic gaps and paradoxes of existing social policies that aim to support the elderly in Singapore. The perceptions and experiences of my respondents show how such policies can unintentionally serve to perpetuate and exacerbate vulnerability. I argue that policy improvements need to focus on empowering older persons, especially the working poor, to negotiate better life chances by structuring greater opportunities for them to generate resources within residential communities. One way this could be achieved is through collaborative efforts to initiate, build, and support the growth of neighbourhood-based enterprises.

description: After the economic and political transformation, the output and resource utilization of the Hungarian fish production sector decreased less than in other livestock sectors, and it managed to preserve its income position. As a consequence of the relatively low level of the implemented innovative developments, though, for all the EU assistance available the cooperation efforts did not prove to be very efficient. The relatively favourable income position of several farms led them to a kind of “leisureliness”, and as a result, the level of the applied production technology in many cases did not even reach that of the 1970s. All these circumstances led to the degradation of the innovations and to the expiration of the horizontal and vertical integrations in the sector, leaving the commercial and cooperation forms being typical in an otherwise stabile classical free-market environment. Problems were further increased – amongst other things – by the volatile cereal prices, 27% VAT rate, and the introduction of road toll. After long years, certain farms were to face losses, and the decline of profitability at sectorial level, thus the need for innovation and producers’ co-operations has become imperative. As a solution option to these problems, a model of a product chain containing both horizontal and vertical elements and comprising the entire sector has been developed. Present study introduces this new model, which is established on foreign examples primarily, but takes the Hungarian specialities into account too.

description: Nowadays the volatility of exchange rates and the macroeconomic changes strongly affect the monthly instalments of the debtors. The growth of delayed forex loans - mostly denominated in Swiss Franc and Euro - can include a high risk, which as a part of a vicious circle can ruin Hungary’s economic situation and even the country’s external judgement. Steps were taken to handle the problem of the forex loans but their result is questionable. In this paper different repayment methods are compared in different economic scenarios. More precisely, the third edition of exchange-rate barrier and income based repayment are analysed in an optimistic realistic and pessimistic scenario. This article is aiming to quantify and interpret the difference between each repayment methods regarding different scenarios. Based on the results suggestions are made how to eliminate efficiently currency exposure from the continuously deteriorating portfolio.

description: Consider two Fermi gases with the same {\it average} currents: a transport gas, as in solid-state experiments where the chemical potentials of terminal 1 is $μ+eV$ and of terminal 2 and 3 is $μ$, and a beam, i.e., electrons entering only from terminal 1 having energies between $μ$ and $μ+eV$. By expressing the current noise as a sum over single-particle transitions we show that the temporal current fluctuations are very different: The beam is noisier due to allowed single-particle transitions into empty states below $μ$. Surprisingly, the correlations between terminals 2 and 3 are the same.

description: Energy production has become one of the key problems in the recent years. Hungary is lacking fossil fuels, but could play a leading role of biomass utilization in Europe. In the concept of biomass not only main-, but by-products (e.g. grape) are be included. Since farmers face a variety of difficulties in disposing of garpe from plantation sites it would be beneficial to encourage grape use in energy production. In our opinion due to varying transportation costs it is crucial to investigate the amount of potentially usable grape both for the whole country and in local township levels. Our economic studies were done on the Szentantalfa Township’s Balatonfüred-Csopak Vine Region. According to our findings the total amount of grape generated in the township theoretically amounts to 5.28 TJ exploitable that would operate a 360 kW boiler for a whole heating period (6 months). In our opinion the appearance of local energy production based on grape could significantly raise the ability of the future potential income of townships.

description: Objective: The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in Spain. Method: This is a cross-sectional, population-based study of people aged 20 years or older in Spain. Randomly selected individuals were contacted by telephone and rheumatic disease screening was performed. If the first screening was positive, medical records were then reviewed and/or a telephone questionnaire was conducted by a rheumatologist, followed by an appointment if necessary. Cases had to fulfil the modified New York (mNY) criteria. Results: In total, 4916 individuals were included, of whom 355 had a positive screening result for AS. Of these, 11 were classified as AS. An additional individual who reported a prior diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis had a diagnosis of AS confirmed on review of the medical records. Estimated prevalence was 0.26% (95% CI 0.14–0.49). Conclusion: EPISER2016 is the first population-based study to estimate the prevalence of AS in Spain, which has been estimated as being similar to that in other European countries.
