description: Rural Peru has shown poverty and inequality reductions, but some regions lag behind. We analyse the driving forces behind these trends by using microsimulation-based decompositions. We find that poverty and inequality reductions are mainly attributable to positive price effect in Peru’s agricultural sector, in part due to international market forces. Favourable developments have increased incomes also in non-agricultural sectors, and created new jobs, but were less pro-poor than is ideal. Further, shrinking farm sizes have hampered poverty reduction. Policies should target the participation in cash cropping and non-agricultural activities, especially if positive commodity price developments are only transitory.

description: Correctional settings can be vectors of infectious diseases due to overcrowding, unsanitary living conditions, and very little capacity to engage in social distancing. In the US, COVID-19 outbreaks were first identified in the New York City and Cook County jails, with infection rates far exceeding community rates. Each day new cases are being identified across the country in correctional facilities. People who are incarcerated are at increased risk of experiencing severe COVID-19 symptoms because of the increased prevalence of other underlying illnesses. Jails and prisons have begun initiating facility-level policies to help stop the spread of COVID-19. As a result, correctional agencies have reoriented staff to stem transmission in their facilities. This could translate into limited resources for other programming such as medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) programs. In this commentary, we highlight risk mitigation practices for delivering MOUD in correctional settings during COVID-19 and note how to ensure quality of care while still preparing for the possibility of future pandemics.
Signature of the eta-NN configurations in coherent pi0 photoproduction on the deuteron

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The photoproduction of a neutral pion on the deuteron is considered in the energy region around the eta threshold, where a bump-like structure was observed at very backward pion angles. Different dynamical aspects which may be responsible for this phenomenon are analysed within a theoretical frame which includes intermediate eta-NN configurations. The results show in particular, that a three-body treatment of the eta-NN interaction is of special importance.

description: In this paper we use stochastic dynamic programming for modelling the investment decision of a landowner contemplating the conversion of idle land to farmland. The landowner may, by investing, develop land for active farming counting, whenever farming is not protable, on the support secured by the CAP for land kept in good agricultural and environmental condition, i.e. land "passively" farmed. We determine, under the current CAP frame, the optimal capital intensity and the optimal investment timing and show that, if compared to a scenario where no support is provided, land development occurs earlier in expected terms and the associated capital intensity is lower. Our results contradict arguments against the support paid to farmers that passively manage their land and show that the current policy frame allows maintaining land in good state at limited cost in terms of excess capacity.

description: Here the fluctuation properties of acoustic localization in bubbly water is explored. We show that the strong localization can occur in such a system for a certain frequency range and sufficient filling fractions of air-bubbles. Two fluctuating quantities are considered, that is, the fluctuation of transmission and the fluctuation of the phase of acoustic wave fields. When localization occurs, these fluctuations tend to vanish, a feature able to uniquely identify the phenomenon of wave localization.

description: We formulate Barrow holographic dark energy, by applying the usual holographic principle at a cosmological framework, but using the Barrow entropy instead of the standard Bekenstein-Hawking one. The former is an extended black-hole entropy that arises due to quantum-gravitational effects which deform the black-hole surface by giving it an intricate, fractal form. We extract a simple differential equation for the evolution of the dark energy density parameter, which possesses standard holographic dark energy as a limiting sub-case, and we show that the scenario can describe the universe thermal history, with the sequence of matter and dark energy eras. Additionally, the new Barrow exponent $Δ$ significantly affects the dark energy equation of state, and according to its value it can lead it to lie in the quintessence regime, in the phantom regime, or experience the phantom-divide crossing during the evolution.

description: We utilize a focused beam of Ga+ ions to define magnetization pinning sites in a ferromagnetic epilayer of (Ga,Mn)As. The nonmagnetic defects locally increase the magneto-crystalline anisotropy energies, by which a domain wall is pinned at a given position. We demonstrate techniques for manipulating domain walls at these pinning sites as probed with the giant planar Hall effect (GPHE). By varying the magnetic field angle relative to the crystal axes, an upper limit is placed on the local effective anisotropy energy.

description: Cross-view geo-localization is to spot images of the same geographic target from different platforms, e.g., drone-view cameras and satellites. It is challenging in the large visual appearance changes caused by extreme viewpoint variations. Existing methods usually concentrate on mining the fine-grained feature of the geographic target in the image center, but underestimate the contextual information in neighbor areas. In this work, we argue that neighbor areas can be leveraged as auxiliary information, enriching discriminative clues for geolocalization. Specifically, we introduce a simple and effective deep neural network, called Local Pattern Network (LPN), to take advantage of contextual information in an end-to-end manner. Without using extra part estimators, LPN adopts a square-ring feature partition strategy, which provides the attention according to the distance to the image center. It eases the part matching and enables the part-wise representation learning. Owing to the square-ring partition design, the proposed LPN has good scalability to rotation variations and achieves competitive results on three prevailing benchmarks, i.e., University-1652, CVUSA and CVACT. Besides, we also show the proposed LPN can be easily embedded into other frameworks to further boost performance.

description: The paper analyses how voluntary private standards affect labour productivity of small and medium firms from the food sector in Vietnam. The results based on a three-year panel show that the application of private standards improves labour productivity. These gains primarily occur to firms operating above a threshold labour-intensity level. Firms with low labour intensity are not likely to experience gains in labour productivity from standards. This implies that employee compensation increase due to standards is a likely mechanism for labour productivity gains. The results are robust to several specification changes and instrumental variable estimation.

We do not use a conformal decomposition, but instead express the 3-metric in terms of a given unit vector field and one unknown scalar field. In the case of axisymmetry, we have written a program to solve the resulting nonlinear elliptic equation. We have obtained solutions, both numerically and from a linearized analytic method, for a general perturbation of Schwarzschild.

description: We calculate the motion of binary mass systems in gravity up to the sixth post--Newtonian order to the $G_N^3$ terms ab initio using momentum expansions within an effective field theory approach based on Feynman amplitudes in harmonic coordinates. For these contributions we construct a canonical transformation to isotropic and to EOB coordinates at 5PN and agree with the results in the literature \cite{Bern:2019nnu,Damour:2019lcq}. At 6PN we compare to the Hamiltonians in isotropic coordinates either given in \cite{Bern:2019nnu} or resulting from the scattering angle. We find a canonical transformation from our Hamiltonian in harmonic coordinates to \cite{Bern:2019nnu}, but not to \cite{Damour:2019lcq}. This implies that we also agree on all observables with \cite{Bern:2019nnu} to the sixth post--Newtonian order to $G_N^3$.

For the verification of the main goal of article were used the analysis of changes over time and an analysis of the structure of the total foreign trade (exports and imports) and with Russia in 2011-2015. The used data come from the Ministry of Finance. The situation on the domestic pork market in 2014 was difficult due to the significant increase in pork production both in Poland and in the EU, the occurrence of the ASF (and related restrictions on exports to many third countries), and introduction the embargo by Russia, which was one of major buyers of pork products exported from Poland. As a result, the geographic structure of exports had changed. In the analyzed period Poland was a net importer of pork products and the foreign trade balance of these products with Russia was positive. / Synopsis. W artykule podjęto próbę wskazania najważniejszych zmian w handlu zagranicznym wieprzowiną i trzodą chlewną po ogłoszeniu przez Rosję embarga. Do weryfikacji celu opracowania wykorzystano analizę zmian w czasie oraz analizę struktury handlu zagranicznego zarówno ogółem (eksportu i importu) jak i z Rosją w latach 2011-2015. Zastosowane dane pochodzą z Ministerstwa Finansów. Sytuacja na krajowym rynku wieprzowiny w 2014 r. była trudna ze względu na znaczny wzrost produkcji wieprzowiny zarówno w Polsce jak i w UE, wystąpienie afrykańskiego pomoru świń - ASF (a z tym związane ograniczenia w eksporcie do wielu krajów trzecich), a także wprowadzenie embarga przez Rosję, która była jednym z liczących się nabywców produktów wieprzowych eksportowanych z Polski. W efekcie zmieniła się struktura geograficzna eksportu. W badanym okresie Polska była importerem netto produktów wieprzowych, a saldo handlu zagranicznego tymi produktami z Rosją było dodatnie.

Creators: name: Morgana, Valentina
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2018

description: Recent research (Kukulska-Hulme & Viberg, 2018) indicates that mobile technology can support second language learning and educational literacy. The iPad is a mobile device that is having a large distribution in schools and an important impact on second language formal and informal learning. However, studies focused on the use of the iPad to specifically enhance and support second language learning and teaching are still scarce. Against this backdrop, this study sought to investigate learners’ and teachers’ perceptions of mobile learning, the implementation of technology-mediated language tasks and the potential impact of the iPad in developing writing and speaking skills in an English as a foreign language classroom in a secondary school in Italy. The data was collected through classroom observations, interviews, recorded teacher meetings, students’ written assignments, and lesson plans. The data collected has been analysed from a socio-cultural theory perspective. The analysis of written data was also informed by Hallidayan Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), and a Task-based language teaching (TBLT) framework was used to design writing and speaking tasks. Results show a positive influence on student motivation towards the performance of speaking tasks and improvements on technology-mediated second language writing tasks. In addition, the study found that the use of the iPad had a positive impact on the design of speaking and writing tasks for teachers. Moreover this action research study contributes to mobile assisted language learning by providing further understanding of how the iPad can enhance foreign language learning, especially teaching speaking and writing in the context of secondary education, and provides educators with recommendations on how to design specific language tasks.

description: Current methods for fabricating lenses rely on mechanical processing of the lens or mold, such as grinding, machining, and polishing. The complexity of these fabrication processes and the required specialized equipment prohibit rapid prototyping of optical components. This work presents a simple method, based on free-energy minimization of liquid volumes, which allows to quickly shape curable liquids into a wide range of spherical and aspherical optical components, without the need for any mechanical processing. After the desired shape is obtained, the liquid can be cured to produce a solid object with nanometric surface quality. We provide a theoretical model that accurately predicts the shape of the optical components, and demonstrate rapid fabrication of all types of spherical lenses (convex, concave, meniscus), cylindrical lenses, bifocal lenses, toroidal lenses, doublet lenses and aspheric lenses. The method is inexpensive and can be implemented using a variety of curable liquids with different optical and mechanical properties. In addition, the method is scale-invariant and can be used to produce even very large optical components, without a significant increase in fabrication time. We believe that the ability to easily and rapidly create high-quality optics, without the need for complex and expensive infrastructure, will provide researchers with new affordable tools for fabricating and testing optical designs.

Polyphosphate kinase 1 (PPK1) is a pathogenesis determinant in Campylobacter jejuni
Creators: name: Candon, Heather L.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) is the leading cause of bacterial gastroenteritis in the developed world. Despite the prevalence of C. jejuni as a human pathogen, relatively little is known about it's precise pathogenesis mechanisms, particularly in comparison to other well-studied enteric pathogens like E. coli and Salmonella spp. Altered expression of phosphate genes in a C.jejuni stringent response mutant, together with known correlations between the stringent response, polyphosphate (poly P), and virulence in other pathogens, led us to investigate the role of poly P in C. jejuni physiology and pathogenesis. All sequenced C. jejuni strains harbour a conserved putative polyphosphate kinase (PPK1) predicted to be principally responsible for poly P synthesis. We generated a targeted ppkl deletion mutant (Δppk1) in C. jejuni strain 81-176 and found that this mutant, as well as the ΔspoT stringent response mutant, exhibited low levels of poly P at all growth stages. In contrast, wild-type C. jejuni poly P levels increased significantly as the bacteria transitioned from log to stationary phase. Phenotypic analyses revealed that the Δppk1 mutant was defective for survival during osmotic shock and low-nutrient stress. However, certain phenotypes associated with ppk1 deletion in other bacteria (i.e., motility, oxidative stress) were unaffected in the C. jejuni mutant, which also displayed a surprising increase in biofilm formation. The C. jejuni Δppk1 mutant was also defective for the virulence-associated phenotype of intra-epithelial cell survival in a tissue culture infection model and exhibited a striking defect in dose-dependent chick colonization. These results indicate that poly P utilization and accumulation contribute significantly to C. jejuni pathogenesis and affect its ability to adapt to specific stresses and stringencies. Furthermore, our study demonstrates that poly P likely plays both similar and unique roles in C. jejuni compared to other bacteria, and that poly P metabolism is linked with stringent response mechanisms in C. jejuni.

(Fig. 29-30, 32, 35, 107, 113, 128)
 Males (mean FW length = 29.7 mm [28.1-31.2, n = 10]) of S. similis from Rondônia are as originally described (Mielke 1967a), but vary on the dorsum from mostly dark brown to having considerable rich red-brown overscaling on the hindwing and base of the forewing. Females (FW length = 32.7, 33.4 mm) have broader wings than do males, are dull blackish brown, and have forewing macules as on males, but these are white instead of pale yellow. The dorsal hindwing has vague black quadrate macules, that in the discal cell being most prominent. The discal macules on the ventral hindwing are vague and without pale centers to absent.
 Male genitalia of S. similis from Rondônia (Fig. 107) are like those shown by Mielke (1967a). Female genitalia (Fig. 113), previously undescribed, have a narrow and quadrate lamella postvaginalis with a narrow and shallow notch on the caudal edge, a broad lamella antevaginalis that is prominently serrated on its caudal edge, no obvious antrum, and a long ductus bursae that is membranous except for a weakly sclerotized band just before the globular corpus bursae.
 Sarmientoia similis is common in central Rondônia, with records throughout most of the year (not recorded in September and October), but two-thirds are in the wet season (Fig. 128). This species was known only from the two male types (one from Taperinha in Pará and the other from Amazonas, Brazil) and apparently has not been subsequently reported; the records from Rondônia extend the distribution southward.

Creators: name: Miller, Carol Jane
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1997

description: This thesis examines the relationship between distance education, adult learning and professional development for special education in the context of teachers' work with pupils with speech and language difficulties.

 Responses from students and tutors in three cohorts of a distance education course for teachers of pupils with speech and language difficulties are analysed and conclusions drawn concerning future practice in the light of changing professional needs. Qualitative methods, using questionnaires, interviews and systemic thinking activities, generate data for the analysis of course process in relation to student support, content and impact on practice.

 The study proposes a socio-technical systems model for planning, management and evaluation of professional development by distance education. This approach recognises that specific technical and organisational characteristics will interact with social and psychological aspects of participants' personal and professional lives.

description: The aim of the paper was to assess the importance of the bilateral turnover to the EU and the US foreign trade in agri-food products in 2001-2016, as well as to define the possibilities of its development after signing the TTIP Agreement. The research is based on the data from the ComExt Database in the resources of the Statistical Office of the European Union (Eurostat) and the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service's Global Agricultural Trade System. It was proved that in 2001-2016 the EU and the US were important trade partners for each other, but the value of bilateral trade in agrifood products remained relatively small, largely due to low complementarity of the Polish and American agriculture and the resulting minor demand for agricultural products from the temperate zone in the US. These products are made in the US, usually at a lower cost, and they are the export surplus of this country. The way to intensify the EU-US bilateral trade may be to develop a transatlantic free trade area, resulting in a strong effect of trade creation between the TTIP parties, with a limited impact on the relationship with other trading partners. / Synopsis. Celem artykułu było określenie znaczenia wymiany bilateralnej w handlu zagranicznym produktami rolno-spożywczymi UE i USA w latach 2001-2016 oraz wskazanie potencjalnych możliwości jej rozwoju w warunkach implementacji TTIP. W badaniach wykorzystano dane pochodzące z baz ComExt w zasobach Urzędu Statystycznego Unii Europejskiej (Eurostat) oraz Global Agricultural Trade System, pod nadzorem służb zagranicznych Departamentu Rolnictwa Stanów Zjednoczonych (FAS/USDA). Na podstawie przeprowadzonych analiz można stwierdzić, że w latach 2001-2016 UE i USA były dla siebie ważnymi partnerami handlowymi, jednak wartość bilateralnych obrotów produktami rolno-żywnościowymi pozostawała stosunkowo niewielka. W dużej mierze wynikało to z relatywnie niskiego stopnia komplementarności struktur produkcji rolniczej w tych krajach, a w rezultacie nieznacznego popytu na artykuły rolne strefy klimatu umiarkowanego w USA, które z powodzeniem, a zwykle także taniej są tam wytwarzane i które stanowią nadwyżki eksportowe tego kraju. Sposobem na zintensyfikowanie wzajemnych powiązań handlowych UE i USA może być utworzenie transatlantyckiej strefy wolnego handlu, skutkujące silnym efektem kreacji obrotów bilateralnych stron TTIP, przy jednoczesnym ograniczonym wpływie porozumienia na relacje z pozostałymi partnerami handlowymi.

Bungalotis midas

description: Bungalotis midas (Cramer, 1775)
(Fig. 3-6, 13, 87, 93, 125)
 Bungalotis midas from Rondônia seem to be typical (male mean FW length = 29.9 mm [28.7-31.8, n = 10]; female FW length = 33.6 mm [n = 1], see figures in Cock and Alston-Smith 1990) and male genitalia (Fig. 87) match those illustrated by Godman and Salvin (1879 -1901) that are taken to be representative of the species, except for the lack of a style on the ampulla (this omission also noted by Evans 1952). Evans’ (1952) illustration, however, does not match this and shows, among other differences, a shortened valva with an extended lower edge. Perhaps this represents another species, although Evans (1952) recognized Godman and Salvin’s (1879 -1901) concept to be the same as his; the extreme in the variation seen in the valva among B. midas from Rondônia (Fig. 87) approaches Evans’ (1952) figure.
Males in Rondônia vary in their dorsal wing color from pale to medium tawny, in the prominence of the forewing dark markings, and in the amount and extent of dark brown overscaling. Female genitalia (Fig. 93) have broad, but relatively short, lamellae. The lamella postvaginalis is very broadly V-shaped caudad from its lateral margin with the edges folded over dorsad. The lamella antevaginalis has the caudal margin broadly excavate, again nearly from its lateral margin with a narrow U-shaped indentation centrally. The antrum is prominent, sclerotized, and ribbon-like curving to a broad and oblong ductus bursae. The corpus bursae is small and globular.
 Bungalotis midas is common near Cacaulândia and has been recorded throughout the year, but 22 of 47 records are in July and August towards the end of the dry season (Fig. 125). The species is reported to occur from southern Mexico to Paraguay and southern Brazil (Hoffmann 1941, Evans 1952, de la Maza and de la Maza 1985, Cock and Alston-Smith 1990, Warren 2000, Luis et al. 2004, Nuñez Bustos 2006), but some of these records may pertain to other species (see below).
 While examining comparative material of B. midas, a male was discovered from Ecuador with different genitalia. This is described below.

description: For type II superconductors, Josephson has shown that vortices moving with velocity v_L create an effective electric field E'=-v_L x B. By definition the effective electric field is gradient of the electrochemical potential, what is the quantity corresponding to voltage observed with the use of Ohmic contacts. It relates to the true electric field E via the local chemical potential mu as E'=E - grad(mu)/e. We argue that at low temperatures the true electric field in the bulk can be approximated by a modified Josephson relation E=(v_s-v_L) x B, where v_S is the condensate velocity.

description: We present the automation of one-loop computations in the standard-model effective field theory at dimension six. Our general implementation, dubbed SMEFT@NLO, covers all types of operators: bosonic, two- and four-fermion ones. Included ultraviolet and rational counterterms presently allow for fully differential predictions, possibly matched to parton shower, up to the one-loop level in the strong coupling or in four-quark operator coefficients. Exact flavor symmetries are imposed among light quark generations and an initial focus is set on top-quark interactions in the fermionic sector. We illustrate the potential of this implementation with novel loop-induced and next-to-leading-order computations relevant for top-quark, electroweak, and Higgs-boson phenomenology at the LHC and future colliders.

description: Transverse single-spin asymmetries of very forward neutral pions generated in polarized $p + p$ collisions allow us to understand the production mechanism in terms of perturbative and non-perturbative strong interactions. During 2017 the RHICf Collaboration installed an electromagnetic calorimeter in the zero-degree region of the STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and measured neutral pions produced at pseudorapidity larger than 6 in polarized $p$+$p$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 510 GeV. The large non-zero asymmetries increasing both in longitudinal momentum fraction $x_{F}$ and transverse momentum $p_{T}$ have been observed at low transverse momentum $p_{T} < 1$ GeV/$c$ for the first time at this collision energy. The asymmetries show an approximate $x_{F}$ scaling in the $p_{T}$ region where non-perturbative processes are expected to dominate. A non-negligible contribution from soft processes may be necessary to explain the nonzero neutral pion asymmetries.
