description: In developing countries, innovation networks are an increasingly important strategic means for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to access and adopt information from different knowledge domains. Understanding the dynamics of innovation networks, both from the SME and innovation system level perspective, has become increasingly important. This paper aims to contribute to the understanding of such networks by analyzing innovation networks in the context of profound contextual changes and rapid development of input producing SMEs in the agribusiness sector in Vietnam. In the paper we characterize the innovation network in the Vietnam’s agribusiness sector and discuss how to support the development of such networks. Drawing on a case study approach we identify structural and functional dynamics inside the innovation networks and investigate how networks are providing resources to innovation process of SMEs. We find that input producing SMEs use strategizing innovation, mainly in the product, marketing and market areas, to cope with newly enforced policies and regulations that relates to Vietnam’s entrance in WTO in November 2006 and subsequent increased competition in the sub-sector. In the present situation the formal actors fail to accomplish the envisioned role lead-organizations. In the lack of formal coordination innovation networks supporting SMEs’ activities operates mainly at the intermediary level and the operational functions are mainly based on informal network mechanisms. At the net-level, the innovation network is structured with five groups of actors focusing on production, market and marketing, know-how, funding, and resource supply, respectively. The network is governed through ‘selection and trust’ principles and ‘tacit mechanisms’. Building core network competences and enhancing net-level coordination and interactive learning are critical for the further development of the network.

description: Recent lattice QCD calculations showed that a $d_{NΩ}$ dibaryon state similar to the deuteron with small binding energy may exist. In this work we propose a hadronic molecular approach to study the dynamical properties of this exotic state. We use a phenomenological Lagrangian approach to describe the coupling of the $d_{NΩ}$ state to its constituents and the decays into conventional hadrons, $d_{NΩ} \to ΛΞ$ and $d_{NΩ} \to ΣΞ$. Predictions for the sum of the decay rates are in the range of a few hundred keV. In addition, we find that the $d_{NΩ} \to ΛΞ$ mode is dominant, preferably searched for in a future RHIC experiment.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Hearing loss (HL) has been recognised as a prodromal symptom of cognitive disorder with aging. It is still uncertain if HL leads to cognitive impairment directly or through an indirect mechanism. Participants of this study underwent an auditory test, blood tests, and brain MRI. The atrophy rate of the hippocampus (HP) was calculated using voxel-based specific areas. A partial correlation analysis whilst controlling for the effect of age was performed to analyse the factors affecting hearing levels and HP atrophy rate (HP%). Thirty-six older adults with hearing impairment The group of participants with moderate or severe HL (n = 22) had higher cortisol/dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (C/D) ratio, geriatric depression score (GDS) and HP% than the mild HL or normal hearing group (n = 14, p p p Our results suggest that the HL is associated with the atrophy of HP and high C/D ratios in older adults; however, HL may not be causally related to hippocampal atrophy.

description: A spin-1/2 Ising model, defined in the body centered cubic lattice, is used to describe some of the thermodynamic properties of Fe$_p$-Al$_q$ alloys, with $p+q=1$. The model assumes, besides the nearest-neighbor exchange coupling, the existence of further next-nearest-neighbor superexchange interactions, where the latter ones depend on the aluminum atoms cluster size. The Ising system so considered is studied by employing Monte Carlo simulations, using a hybrid algorithm consisting of one single-spin Metropolis move together with one single-cluster Wolff algorithm allied, in addition, with single histograms procedures and finite-size scaling techniques. Quite good fits to the experimental results of the ordering critical temperature, as a function of Al concentration in the range $0\le q<0.7$, are obtained and compared to more recent theoretical approaches done on the same alloys.

This is a generalization of the Affleck-Dine-Seiberg superpotential to gauge theories with one massless adjoint matter field. Using Kutasov's generalization of Seiberg duality, we then find the effective superpotential for a related theory with massive fundamental flavors.

A harm reduction approach for women who use alcohol in pregnancy : strategies for NP practice
Creators: name: Mahon, Sarah
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: A significant percentage of women in the United States and Canada continue to use alcohol in pregnancy despite the clear recommendations of total abstinence from policy makers. Abstinence as an approach fails to recognize the connections between alcohol use in pregnancy and social context. Harm reduction strategies broaden the range of approaches that NPs can draw from when working with women. This change can be enacted by incorporating the underlying principles of harm reduction into NP practice at the clinical, policy, and research levels. By using a multilevel approach, NPs can increase the likelihood of long term, positive health outcomes for women who consume alcohol in pregnancy and their children.
title: The effects of teacher's written comments on pupil performance and attitudes

Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1986

description: The development of reinforcement theory and attitudes are examined,with particular reference to the influence feedback and knowledge of results (in the form of grades and comments) have on achievement and attitude change in science. Relevant previous research is discussed critically. Hypotheses are formed regarding the effect of Teacher Written Comments on science attitudes and achievement. Thirteen year old pupils were asked to grade comments either 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D' or 'E' depending on which grade they thought should go with the comments. 159 thirteen year old boys and girls were divided randomly into four treatment groups:- 1) Grades only, 2) Grades and matching comment, 3) Grade and above average comment, and 4) Control - existing marking and grading procedure. The Science Attitude Questionnaire (Skumik & Jeffs 1971) and a Science Achievement Test was administered before and after a topic (The Earth) was taught in science lessons. The pupil's work was marked, commented upon according to the four treatments above, and returned. No treatment effects on science achievement were found for boys or girls. Treatment 3 was found to have produced significantly greater gain than the other treatments in the Science Interest, Social Implications of Science, Science Teacher and School factors of the Science Attitude Questionnaire. Boys were found to have a significantly more favourable interest in science and it's social implications than girls. Girls had a significantly more favourable attitude to school than boys. Attenuation had reduced the sample to 147 (74 boys and 73 girls). Two years later another application of treatments was given in another middle school using 31 boys and 39 girls. A significant treatment effect was found for the achievement gain for girls (F= 4.71432, p:> 0.1%). Follow up t tests showed girls in Treatment 3 to have made significantly greater gains than Treatments 1 ,2 or 4. Again, some significant differences were found in favour of Treatment 3 in various attitude factor scores. The findings, are discussed comparing them with results from other researchers in this field. The original findings of Page (1958) are not fully supported.

description: Living through the COVID-19 pandemic has numerous psychological consequences, including increased threat, uncertainty and isolation. In a global longitudinal online study, we are investigating how these factors affect future thinking and mental health in individuals across the lifespan, and how these relationships change across the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, we are tracking the development of personal and collective narratives about the pandemic. Following an entry survey (S0) and survey 1 (S1) in May 2020, surveys are being run every 1-3 months to capture experience, mood and future thoughts through the various waves of the pandemic. In total, 12 surveys will be collected between May 2020 and May 2022. This open-ended preregistration describes overarching aims and questions motivating this research, general methods and procedures for recruitment (and characteristics of the S0 sample) and data collection, all tasks used and variables of interest. Due to the scope and size of this dataset, we will conduct a series of sub-studies that address more constrained research questions; for each sub-study, specific predictions, methods and analyses will be published in separate pre-registration plans in association with this project overview, enabling us to be more transparent about our knowledge of the data at the time of each set of analyses.

description: Cluster Analysis is an unsupervised machine learning method. Unlabeled items of a dataset are grouped together in ways that aim to classify objects according to their similarity. The goal of this process is to provide the researcher with a useful tool that will help her/him to identify patterns among the data. Dealing with large databases such patterns may not be easily detectable without the contribution of a clustering algorithm. During the decades that followed the end of World War II, significant research has been done, till today. Many different clustering techniques have been proposed, while some of them gained worldwide fame and use. This thesis provides a deep description of algorithms that have constantly been used during the ages. Moreover, some validation techniques are described followed by simulations with R. Using simulations we will be able to determine the accuracy and the running time of each clustering procedure. Comments and tables are included. Also, some real data will be used provided by the Eurostat database. The particular database has been chosen as this thesis has been written, among others, for the EMOS certification. Last but not least the R code has been included with detailed comments in English

In this model the cache is composed of two components: a k-way set-associative cache and a companion fully-associative cache of size n. We show that the deterministic competitive ratio for this problem is (n+1)(k+1)-1, and the randomized competitive ratio is O(\log n \log k) and Ω(\log n +\log k).

description: We develop a field theory with dissipation based on a finite range of wave propagation and associated gapped momentum states in the wave spectrum. We analyze the properties of the Lagrangian and the Hamiltonian with two scalar fields in different representations and show how the new properties of the two-field Lagrangian are related to Keldysh-Schwinger formalism. The proposed theory is non-Hermitian, and we discuss its properties related to $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry. The calculated correlation functions show a decaying oscillatory behavior related to gapped momentum states. We corroborate this result using path integration. The interaction potential becomes short-ranged due to dissipation. Finally, we observe that the proposed field theory represents a departure from the harmonic paradigm and discuss the implications of our theory for the Lagrangian formulation of hydrodynamics.

description: This study explores the effect of common broad appeals on a regular campaign activity: securing yard signs commitments. In 2013 and 2014, volunteers delivered three messages (hometown, policy [public safety], and partisan) to registered voters across three local races (Democratic municipal, Democratic state legislative, and Republican municipal) in a North-eastern state. Voters exposed to the hometown message were more likely to make an immediate commitment to display a yard sign than those exposed to a partisan appeal (OR 1.69; 95% CI 1.01–2.04). This effect held for the Republican municipal setting only (OR 2.14; 95% CI 1.06–4.33). An appeal that taps into the “friends and neighbors” theory may increase the odds of commitment and may be effective within certain campaign settings.

description: Using a sample of 2408 time-resolved spectra for 91 BATSE gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) presented by Preece et al., we show that the relation between the isotropic-equivalent luminosity (L_iso) and the spectral peak energy (E_p) in the cosmological rest frame, L_iso \propto E_p^2, not only holds within these bursts, but also holds among these GRBs, assuming that the burst rate as a function of redshift is proportional to the star formation rate. The possible implications of this relation for the emission models of GRBs are discussed. We suggest that both the kinetic-energy-dominated internal shock model and the magnetic-dissipation-dominated external shock model can well interpret this relation. We constrain the parameters for these two models, and find that they are in a good agreement with the parameters from the fittings to the afterglow data (abridged).

We adopt magneto-hydrodynamics simulations that study the impact of stellar winds in a turbulent molecular cloud as an input to generate synthetic observations. We apply the 3D radiation transfer code radmc-3d to model 13CO (J=1-0) line emission from the simulated clouds. We train two CASI-3d models: ME1 predicts only the position of feedback, while MF predicts the fraction of the mass coming from feedback in each voxel. We adopt 75% of the synthetic observations as the training set and assess the accuracy of the two models with the remaining data. We demonstrate that model ME1 identifies bubbles in simulated data with 95% accuracy, and model MF predicts the bubble mass within 4% of the true value. We use bubbles previously visually identified in Taurus in 13CO to validate the models and show both perform well on the highest confidence bubbles. We apply our two models on the full 98 deg2 FCRAO 13CO survey of the Taurus cloud. Models ME1 and MF predict feedback gas mass of 2894 M and 302 M, respectively. When including a correction factor for missing energy due to the limited velocity range of the 13CO data cube, model ME1 predicts feedback kinetic energies of 4.0*1e46 ergs and 1.5*1e47 ergs with/without subtracting the cloud velocity gradient. Model MF predicts feedback kinetic energy of 9.6*1e45 ergs and 2.8*1e46 ergs with/without subtracting the cloud velocity gradient. Model ME1 predicts bubble locations and properties consistent with previous visually identified bubbles. However, model MF demonstrates that feedback properties computed based on visual identifications are significantly overestimated due to line of sight confusion and contamination from background and foreground gas.

description: Quantum devices and computers will need operational units in different architectural configurations for their functioning. The unit should be a simple ``quantum toy'', easy to handle superposition states. Here a novel such unit of quantum mechanical flux state (or persistent current) in a conducting ring with three ferromagnetic quantum dots is presented. The state is labeled by the two direction of the persistent current, which is driven by the spin chirality of the dots, and is controled by the spin. It is demosntrated that by use of two rings connected, one can carry out unitary transformations on the input flux state by controling one spin in one of the rings, unabling us to prepare superposition states. The flux is shown to be a quantum XOR operation gate, and may be useful in quantum computing.

description: This thesis analyses video game narratives that track player choices before providing players with personalised outcomes. It draws a connection between these games and other features of our culture, such as personality tests, online astrology star charts and step trackers. While these systems can reinforce a culture of self-conformity to external metrics, they can also function as a playful form of digital tea leaves. Through a series of case studies, this thesis looks at the various ways that these games can potentially generate forms of community, encourage self-reflection, and challenge or reinforce elements of our surveillance culture.

description: The stress-strain relations and the yield behavior of model glass (a 80:20 binary Lennard-Jones mixture) is studied by means of MD simulations. First, a thorough analysis of the static yield stress is presented via simulations under imposed stress. Furthermore, using steady shear simulations, the effect of physical aging, shear rate and temperature on the stress-strain relation is investigated. In particular, we find that the stress at the yield point (the ``peak''-value of the stress-strain curve) exhibits a logarithmic dependence both on the imposed shear rate and on the ``age'' of the system in qualitative agreement with experiments on amorphous polymers and on metallic glasses. In addition to the very observation of the yield stress which is an important feature seen in experiments on complex systems like pastes, dense colloidal suspensions and foams, further links between our model and soft glassy materials are found. An example are hysteresis loops in the system response to a varying imposed stress. Finally, we measure the static yield stress for our model and study its dependence on temperature. We find that for temperatures far below the mode coupling critical temperature of the model ($Tc = 0.435$), $\sigmay$ decreases slowly upon heating followed by a stronger decrease as $\Tc$ is approached. We discuss the reliability of results on the static yield stress and give a criterion for its validity in terms of the time scales relevant to the problem.

description: Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία αναπτύχθηκε ένα δυναμικό παιχνίδι σοβαρού σκοπού, δηλαδή ένα παιχνίδι σχεδιασμένο ώστε να προσφέρει την επίλυση ενός προβλήματος που υπάρχει στον πραγματικό κόσμο μέσω ενός ευχάριστου περιβάλλοντος. Στόχος είναι η μετατροπή της δυσάρεστης διαδικασίας απόκτησης προγραμματιστικών δεξιοτήτων, εξαιτίας των αφηρημένων εννοιών που περιέχονται και καθιστούν τη νέα γνώση δυσνόητη, σε μια ευχάριστη διαδικασία μέσω ενός διαδραστικού και διασκεδαστικού περιβάλλοντος που παρέχει νέες προσκλήσεις συνεχώς. Για την αποφυγή της μονοτονίας και της προσθήκης συνεχών προκλήσεων, το παιχνίδι που σχεδιάστηκε συνδέεται με μια βάση δεδομένων στην οποία μπορούν να προστίθενται συνεχώς καινούργιες ερωτήσεις τις οποίες καλείται να απαντήσει ο παίκτης. Το “Friend Me”, το παιχνίδι που υλοποιήθηκε, έχει σχεδιαστεί με τέτοιο τρόπο ώστε να είναι εύκολη η προσαρμογή του σε οποιαδήποτε γλώσσα προγραμματισμού και το ηλικιακό κοινό που στοχεύει να προσελκύσει είναι από ηλικίες 12 ετών και άνω. Ο παίκτης έχει τη δυνατότητα να μάθει μια γλώσσα προγραμματισμού από την αρχή καθώς περιέχεται και το θεωρητικό κομμάτι της αλλά μπορεί και να συνεχίσει να εξασκείται σ’ αυτή. Τα αποτελέσματα της αξιολόγησης που πραγματοποιήθηκε φανερώνουν ότι το παιχνίδι έχει προοπτικές να λειτουργήσει ως ένα χρήσιμο εργαλείο στην εκμάθηση κάποιας γλώσσας προγραμματισμού
description: In this thesis, a dynamic serious game was developed where a serious game is a game designed to offer a solution to a real-world problem leveraging the benefits of a pleasurable environment. The purpose is to replace the unpleasant procedure of acquiring programming skills, because of the abstract concepts contained which makes the obtained knowledge difficult to understand, to a pleasurable procedure via an interactive and fun environment that provides new challenges continuously for the learner. To avoid monotony and to add constantly new challenges, the designed game is connected to a database aiming to be added regularly more questions for the player that is asked to answer during the gameplay. “Friend Me”, the developed game, is designed in a way where it is easy to be adapted in every programming language and the target group is aged 12 years old and over. The player has the opportunity to learn a programming language from scratch as the theoretical part is included and he/she can continue to practice it. The evaluation results show that the game has the potential to be used as an additional useful tool in programming learning

description: We investigate the effect of quantum metric fluctuations on qubits that are gravitationally coupled to a background spacetime. In our first example, we study the propagation of a qubit in flat spacetime whose metric is subject to flat quantum fluctuations with a Gaussian spectrum. We find that these fluctuations cause two changes in the state of the qubit: they lead to a phase drift, as well as the expected exponential suppression (decoherence) of the off-diagonal terms in the density matrix. Secondly, we calculate the decoherence of a qubit in a circular orbit around a Schwarzschild black hole. The no-hair theorems suggest a quantum state for the metric in which the black hole's mass fluctuates with a thermal spectrum at the Hawking temperature. Again, we find that the orbiting qubit undergoes decoherence and a phase drift that both depend on the temperature of the black hole. Thirdly, we study the interaction of coherent and squeezed gravitational waves with a qubit in uniform motion. Finally, we investigate the decoherence of an accelerating qubit in Minkowski spacetime due to the Unruh effect. In this case decoherence is not due to fluctuations in the metric, but instead is caused by coupling (which we model with a standard Hamiltonian) between the qubit and the thermal cloud of Unruh particles bathing it. When the accelerating qubit is entangled with a stationary partner, the decoherence should induce a corresponding loss in teleportation fidelity.

description: Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are almost unequivocally associated with very energetic, broad-lined supernovae (SNe) of Type Ic-BL. While the gamma-ray emission is emitted in narrow jets, the SN emits radiation isotropically. Therefore, some SN Ic-BL not associated with GRBs have been hypothesized to arise from events with inner engines such as off-axis GRBs or choked jets. Here we present observations of the nearby ($d = 120$ Mpc) SN 2020bvc (ASAS-SN 20bs) which support this scenario. \textit{Swift} UVOT observations reveal an early decline (up to two days after explosion) while optical spectra classify it as a SN Ic-BL with very high expansion velocities ($\approx$ 70,000 km/s), similar to that found for the jet-cocoon emission in SN 2017iuk associated with GRB 171205A. Moreover, \textit{Swift} X-Ray Telescope and \textit{CXO} X-ray Observatory detected X-ray emission only three days after the SN and decaying onwards, which can be ascribed to an afterglow component. Cocoon and X-ray emission are both signatures of jet-powered GRBs. In the case of SN 2020bvc, we find that the jet is off axis (by $\approx$ 23 degrees), as also indicated by the lack of early ($\approx 1$ day) X-ray emission which explains why no coincident GRB was detected promptly or in archival data. These observations suggest that SN 2020bvc is the first orphan GRB detected through its associated SN emission.

description: It is well known that animals can use neural and sensory feedback via vision, tactile sensing, and echolocation to negotiate obstacles. Similarly, most robots use deliberate or reactive planning to avoid obstacles, which relies on prior knowledge or high-fidelity sensing of the environment. However, during dynamic locomotion in complex, novel, 3-D terrains such as forest floor and building rubble, sensing and planning suffer bandwidth limitation and large noise and are sometimes even impossible. Here, we study rapid locomotion over a large gap, a simple, ubiquitous obstacle, to begin to discover general principles of dynamic traversal of large 3-D obstacles. We challenged the discoid cockroach and an open-loop six-legged robot to traverse a large gap of varying length. Both the animal and the robot could dynamically traverse a gap as large as 1 body length by bridging the gap with its head, but traversal probability decreased with gap length. Based on these observations, we developed a template that well captured body dynamics and quantitatively predicted traversal performance. Our template revealed that high approach speed, initial body pitch, and initial body pitch angular velocity facilitated dynamic traversal, and successfully predicted a new strategy of using body pitch control that increased the robot maximal traversal gap length by 50%. Our study established the first template of dynamic locomotion beyond planar surfaces and is an important step in expanding terradynamics into complex 3-D terrains.

description: Low-temperature experiments are performed on novel nanoscale nonlinear devices (ballistic rectifiers) as well as nano-structured artificial materials, fabricated from an InP/InGaAs quantum well wafer. A DC output is generated between the lower and upper contacts of these devices, when an AC voltage is applied between the left and right contacts. As the temperature is lowered from room temperature, the DC output voltage of the ballistic rectifiers gradually changes from negative to positive. Since the negative output at high temperatures has been well understood in the framework of the classical ballistic electron transport, our results indicate that the electron transport comes into a new physical regime at low temperatures. Furthermore, we find that at even lower temperatures, the devices generate a pronounced oscillatory output as a function of the applied bias. Very similar phenomena are observed in the artificial nanomaterials, suggesting the existence of a common mechanism. We present a simple model based on quantum transport, which explains the key phenomena that we have observed at low temperatures.
