description: Dairy farming has been the subject of public debate on animal welfare for a number of years now. Animal welfare discussions on dairy farming often include the demand for more nature connectedness in this area. This study focuses on the divergent perspectives of consumers and scientists on the importance of more nature connectedness for animal welfare strategies in German dairy farming. Within Europe, Germany is the main producer of cow’s milk and an important industry in many rural areas in Germany is dairy farming. The insights presented are based on qualitative interviews with dairy farming and livestock researchers from Germany and Austria. A key finding of this study is that we need to look more closely at the actual content of nature claims in animal welfare debates. The scientists interviewed tend to see idealized conditions in animal welfare discussions with images of nature which in fact seldom lead to improved conditions in dairy farming and, even then, only to a limited extent. The scientists interviewed rate calls for more nature connectedness in dairy farming from the nonagricultural public as anti-modern, complexity-reducing, and normative. Nevertheless, some of the scientists interviewed did have valuable insights into the nonagricultural public’s criticism of dairy farming practices. These scientists argued, however, that animal welfare needs to differentiate between nature connectedness and the innate needs of cattle when it comes to animal welfare strategies. An important conclusion of the study is that more discussion formats are needed to promote the exchange of ideas between different social groups attempting to understand animal welfare in dairy farming.

Subjects: Biodiversity; farmers’ drivers; land use dilemma; land use trilemma; mixed method approach, semi-structured questionnaire

description: This paper aims to assess farmers’ challenges in enhancing biodiversity. The so-called “trilemma” (WBGU 2021) of land use stems from the multiple demands made on land for the benefit of mitigating climate change, securing food, and maintaining biodiversity. Agriculture is accused of maladministration, causing soil contamination, animal cruelty, bee mortality, and climate change. However, farmers play a key role in overcoming upcoming sustainability challenges. While their supportive role is urgently needed, farmers find themselves caught between a “rock” and a ”hard place”. Consumers call for sustainable production and affordable food products without pesticide residues, demanding enough for all. Farmers are restricted by the wants and needs of consumers who are influenced by interest groups and exposed to interdependent direct and indirect influencing factors. They need to balance the scrutiny of the critical public as well as the regulatory control. In this paper, we collected and surveyed the data of farmers within or close to the 21 selected nature protected areas of the DINA (Diversity of Insects in Nature protected Areas) Project, using a mixed methods approach with a semi-structured questionnaire considering issues’ interdependencies and the complexity of today´s problems. The conflicts and obstacles faced by farmers were assessed. The results reflect the farmers’ willingness and the importance of receiving appreciation for implementing biodiversity measures. These results, complemented by a following quantitative study, are the basis for recommendations for policymakers and farmers in all German nature protected areas.

description: Islam in Indonesia is Islam with many traditions. It can be understood that before Islam entered the archipelago through many things, namely trade, marriage, education, Sufism, art, politics, and da'wah, so that acculturation became inevitable, namely a social process that arises when a group of people with a certain culture meet elements of another culture. The foreign culture is gradually accepted and processed into its own culture without causing the loss of the cultural elements of the group itself. So that a new culture is formed, namely a fusion of two cultures. Rokat, for example, is one of them in Javanese-Madurese culture which is an acculturation of culture. Namely community activities that involve many people by reading readings, certain prayers and certain goals. In terms of its purpose, it can be seen that rokat is divided into several types of rokat romah, rokat tasek, rokat sabeh, rokat tanian, rokat 7 are (Madura language) and others. The reading of certain rakats and certain prayers is believed by some Muslims, especially rural people, that the prayers that are said will be fulfilled. Uniquely in the prayer in Javanese, some of them speak Madura. Besides that, some rokat rituals involve preparing certain foods or certain items, with some people offering offerings. The question is how does Islamic law view the practice of the rokat ritual. That rokat is a form of embodiment of prayer that is said at the end of the ritual. Of course, pray to Allah SWT. Because, the text of the prayer is clear to whom. As long as you do not pray to other than Allah, then it is not called shirk and kufr. As for offerings, it is basically alms that will be distributed to the people who are present in the rokat ritual.

description: When multiple sound sources are mixed together into a single channel (or a small number of channels) it is in general impossible to recover the exact waveforms that were mixed; indeed, without some kind of constraints on the form of the component signals, it is impossible to separate them at all. These constraints could take several forms. For instance, given a particular family of processing algorithms (such as linear filtering, or selection of individual time-frequency cells in a spectrogram), constraints could be defined in terms of the relationships between the set of resulting output signals, such as statistical independence [3, 41], or clustering of a variety of properties that indicate distinct sources [1, 45]. These approaches are concerned with the relationships between the properties of the complete set of output signals, rather than the specific properties of any individual output; in general, the individual sources could take any form. Another way to express the constraints is to specify the form that the individual sources can take, regardless of the rest of the signal. These restrictions may be viewed as "prior models" for the sources, and source separation then becomes the problem of finding a set of signals that combine together to give the observed mixture signal at the same time as conforming in some optimal sense to the prior models. This is the approach to be examined in this chapter.

description: Clustering is one of the most complex phenomena known to the structure of atomic nuclei. A comprehensive description of this ubiquitous phenomenon goes beyond standard shell model and cluster model frameworks. We argue that clustering is a consequence of an openness of the nuclear many-body system. To illustrate this point, we study the near-threshold behavior of exceptional points in ^16 Ne and ^24 S.

description: By the use of cyclic symmetry, KK relations and BCJ relations, one can reduce the number of independent $N$-point color-ordered tree amplitudes in gauge theory and string theory from $N!$ to $(N-3)!$. In this paper, we investigate these relations at tree-level in both string theory and field theory. We will show that there are two primary relations. All other relations can be generated by the primary relations. In string theory, the primary relations can be chosen as cyclic symmetry as well as either the fundamental KK relation or the fundamental BCJ relation. In field theory, the primary relations can only be chosen as cyclic symmetry and the fundamental BCJ relation. We will further show a kind of more general relation which can also be generated by the primary relations. The general formula of the explicit minimal-basis expansions for color-ordered open string tree amplitudes will be given and proven in this paper.

description: We have studied the pitch angles of spiral arms for 31 distant galaxies at z~0.7 from three Hubble Deep Fields (HDF-N, HDF-S, HUDF). Using the pitch angle - rotation velocity relation calibrated from nearby galaxies, we have estimated the rotation velocities of galaxies from the deep fields. These estimates have a low accuracy (~50 km/s), but they allow low-mass and giant galaxies to be distinguished. The Tully-Fisher relation constructed using our velocity estimates shows satisfactory agreement with the actually observed relations for distant galaxies and provides evidence for the luminosity evolution of spiral galaxies.

description: The collection of all projective vector fields on a Finsler space $(M, F)$ is a finite-dimensional Lie algebra with respect to the usual Lie bracket, called the projective algebra denoted by $p(M,F)$ and is the Lie algebra of the projective group $P(M,F)$. The projective algebra $p(M,F=α+β)$ of a Randers space is characterized as a certain Lie subalgebra of the projective algebra $p(M,α)$. Certain subgroups of the projective group $P(M,F)$ and their invariants are studied. The projective algebra of Randers metrics of constant flag curvature is studied and it is proved that the dimension of the projective algebra of Randers metrics constant flag curvature on a compact $n$-manifold either equals $n(n+2)$ or at most is $\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$.

description: We report on the simultaneous observation of spontaneous symmetry breaking and long-range spatial coherence both in the strong and the weak-coupling regime in a semiconductor microcavity. Under pulsed excitation, the formation of a stochastic order parameter is observed in polariton and photon lasing regimes. Single-shot measurements of the Stokes vector of the emission exhibit the buildup of stochastic polarization. Below threshold, the polarization noise does not exceed 10%, while above threshold we observe a total polarization of up to 50% after each excitation pulse, while the polarization averaged over the ensemble of pulses remains nearly zero. In both polariton and photon lasing regimes, the stochastic polarization buildup is accompanied by the buildup of spatial coherence. We find that the Landau criterion of spontaneous symmetry breaking and Penrose-Onsager criterion of long-range order for Bose-Einstein condensation are met in both polariton and photon lasing regimes.

description: We here present a model of nonlinear dynamics of microtubules (MT) in the context of modified extended tanh-function (METHF) method. We rely on the ferroelectric model of MTs published earlier by Satarić et al [1] where the motion of MT subunits is reduced to a single longitudinal degree of freedom per dimer. It is shown that such nonlinear model can lead to existence of kink solitons moving along the MTs. An analytical solution of the basic equation, describing MT dynamics, was compared with the numerical one and a perfect agreement was demonstrated. It is now clearer how the values of the basic parameters of the model, proportional to viscosity and internal electric field, impact MT dynamics. Finally, we offer a possible scenario of how living cells utilize these kinks as signaling tools for regulation of cellular traffic as well as MT depolymerisation.

description: The increasing availability of large phylogenies based on genetic data has provided new opportunities to study the evolution of species traits, their origins and diversification, and biogeography; yet there are limited attempts to synthesise existing phylogenetic information for major insect groups. Bees (Hymenoptera: Anthophila) are a large group of insect pollinators that have a worldwide distribution, and a wide variation in ecology, morphology, and life-history traits, including sociality. For these reasons, as well as their major economic importance as pollinators, numerous molecular phylogenetic studies of family and genus-level relationships have been published, providing an opportunity to assemble a bee 'tree-of-life'. We used publicly available genetic sequence data, including phylogenomic data, reconciled to a taxonomic database, to produce a concatenated supermatrix phylogeny for the Anthophila comprising 4,586 bee species, representing 23% of species and 82% of genera. At family, subfamily, and tribe levels, support for expected relationships was robust, but between and within some genera, relationships remain uncertain. Within families, sampling of genera ranged from 67–100% but species coverage was lower (17–41%). Our phylogeny mostly reproduces the relationships found in recent phylogenomic studies with a few exceptions. We provide a summary of these differences and the current state of molecular data available and its gaps. We discuss the advantages and limitations of this bee supermatrix phylogeny (available online at beetreeoflife.org), which may enable new insights into long-standing questions about evolutionary drivers in bees, and potentially insects.

description: The O'Connell process is a softened version (a geometric lifting with a parameter $a>0$) of the noncolliding Brownian motion such that neighboring particles can change the order of positions in one dimension within the characteristic length $a$. This process is not determinantal. Under a special entrance law, however, Borodin and Corwin gave a Fredholm determinant expression for the expectation of an observable, which is a softening of an indicator of a particle position. We rewrite their integral kernel to a form similar to the correlation kernels of determinantal processes and show, if the number of particles is $N$, the rank of the matrix of the Fredholm determinant is $N$. Then we give a representation for the quantity by using an $N$-particle system of complex Brownian motions (CBMs). The complex function, which gives the determinantal expression to the weight of CBM paths, is not entire, but in the combinatorial limit $a \to 0$ it becomes an entire function providing conformal martingales and the CBM representation for the noncolliding Brownian motion is recovered.

description: Defect estimation and prediction are some of the main modulating factors for the success of software projects in any software industry. Maturity and competency of a project manager in efficient prediction and estimation of resource capabilities are one of the strategic driving forces towards the generation of high quality software. Currently, there are no estimation techniques developed through empirical analysis to evaluate the decision capability of a project manager towards resource allocation for effective defect management. This paper brings out an empirical study carried out in a product based software organization. Our deep investigation on several projects throws light on the impact of decision capability of project manager towards accomplishment of an aforementioned objective. The paper enables project managers to gain further awareness towards the significance of predictive positioning in resource allocation in order to develop high quality defect-free software products. It also enhances the maturity level of the company and its persistence in the competitive atmosphere.

description: The controversy over French attempt to make it illegal for women to wear burqas in public places reflects the tension between in some sense religious freedoms and an open society, but it may be better understood as an issue that lies at the intersection of national identities, universal rights and power. The issue implied by Sarkozy's comments as well as arguments raised by other supporters of the ban is essentially that of how sovereign states and universal rights can coexist smoothly. While banning the burqas clearly strikes many as an abridgement of those rights, asserting that France cannot do this is equally clearly an limitation on French sovereignty.
Modelling large-scale halo bias using the bispectrum

description: We study the relation between the halo and matter density fields -- commonly termed bias -- in the LCDM framework. In particular, we examine the local model of biasing at quadratic order in the matter density. This model is characterized by parameters b_1 and b_2. Using an ensemble of N-body simulations, we apply several statistical methods to estimate the parameters. We measure halo and matter fluctuations smoothed on various scales and find that the parameters vary with smoothing scale. We argue that, for real-space measurements, owing to the mixing of wavemodes, no scale can be found for which the parameters are independent of smoothing. However, this is not the case in Fourier space. We measure halo power spectra and construct estimates for an effective large-scale bias. We measure the configuration dependence of the halo bispectra B_hhh and reduced bispectra Q_hhh for very large-scale k-space triangles. From this we constrain b_1 and b_2. Using the lowest-order perturbation theory, we find that for B_hhh the best-fit parameters are in reasonable agreement with one another as the triangle scale is varied, but that the fits become poor as smaller scales are included. The same is true for Q_hhh. The best-fit parameters depend on the discreteness correction. This led us to consider halo-mass cross-bispectra. The results from these statistics support our earlier findings. We develop a test to explore the importance of missing higher-order terms in the models. We prove that low-order expansions are not able to correctly model the data, even on scales k_1~0.04 h/Mpc. If robust inferences are to be drawn from galaxy surveys, then accurate models for the full nonlinear matter bispectrum and trispectrum will be essential.

description: Presentation delivered at Opening the Future and the Open Book Collective. Diamond Open Access for Books? (29.11.2023, 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. (CET)).
Abstract
Due to high prices charged by commercial academic publishers and limited funding opportunities, it is still more difficult for scholars to publish Open Access books than journal articles. But how could open access books be produced at fair prices or even BPC-free? The Copim community has been investigating this question since 2020. Two models have developed in this context:
Opening the Future enables the financing of Open Access books through a membership model: in return for an annual membership fee, academic publishers make a selection of their backlist (non-OA books) available to academic libraries. The income from these membership fees enables the realisation of new OA books. 
The Open Book Collective is a non-profit organisation that emerged from the COPIM project and connects libraries, publishers, scholars and OA professionals with the aim of facilitating access to diverse and fair OA publications. The OBC is based on a governance structure including all stakeholders (publishers, libraries, scholars), preventing a commecrial sell-out. For publication service providers and publishers, the OBC allows them to finance their operations through a membership model. Libraries and researchers can use the OBC online platform to research and find OA publications, order or download them, and manage orders and subscriptions.

description: Clustering methods seek to partition data such that elements are more similar to elements in the same cluster than to elements in different clusters. The main challenge in this task is the lack of a unified definition of a cluster, especially for high dimensional data. Different methods and approaches have been proposed to address this problem. This paper continues the study originated by [6] where a novel approach to adaptive nonparametric clustering called Adaptive Weights Clustering (AWC) was offered. The method allows analyzing high-dimensional data with an unknown number of unbalanced clusters of arbitrary shape under very weak modeling as-sumptions. The procedure demonstrates a state-of-the-art performance and is very efficient even for large data dimension D. However, the theoretical study in [6] is very limited and did not re-ally address the question of efficiency. This paper makes a significant step in understanding the remarkable performance of the AWC procedure, particularly in high dimension. The approach is based on combining the ideas of adaptive clustering and manifold learning. The manifold hypoth-esis means that high dimensional data can be well approximated by a d-dimensional manifold for small d helping to overcome the curse of dimensionality problem and to get sharp bounds on the cluster separation which only depend on the intrinsic dimension d. We also address the problem of parameter tuning. Our general theoretical results are illustrated by some numerical experiments.

description: Angela Merkel's recent remarks about the failure of Germany as a multi-cultural society are disturbing for a number of reasons. It is possible to interpret this simply as chauvinism on the part of the German chancellor, but there is likely more to her comments than that. While the accuracy of her statement can certainly be debated, it is clear that Merkel's comments reflect views held by many in Germany, as well as in Europe more broadly. The question is what should Germany, or any country, do about a situation like this.

description: We calculate the branching ratios of the yet unmeasured eta' decays into four pions, based on a combination of chiral perturbation theory and vector-meson dominance. The decays eta' --> 2(pi+ pi-) and eta' --> pi+ pi- 2pi0 are P-wave dominated and can largely be thought to proceed via two rho resonances; we predict branching fractions of (1.0+-0.3)*10^-4 and (2.4+-0.7)*10^-4, respectively, not much lower than the current experimental upper limits. The decays eta' --> 4pi0 and eta --> 4pi0, in contrast, are D-wave driven as long as conservation of CP symmetry is assumed, and are significantly further suppressed; any experimental evidence for the decay eta --> 4pi0 could almost certainly be interpreted as a signal of CP violation. We also calculate the CP-violating amplitudes for eta' --> 4pi0 and eta --> 4pi0 induced by the QCD theta-term.

social-ecological analysis

description: Presented at the Building resilience of Mongolian rangelands: a trans-disciplinary research conference held on June 9-10, 2015 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
description: This paper describes the construction of a complex database for social-ecological analysis in Mongolia. As a National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded Dynamics of Coupled Natural and Human (CNH) Systems, the Mongolian Rangelands and Resilience (MOR2) project focused on the vulnerability of Mongolian pastoral systems to climate change and adaptive capacity. To study this phenomenon, our team is made up of a group of hydrologists, social scientists, geographers, and ecologists collecting data across the Mongolian landscape over three years. This dataset is unique in that it captures multiple types of field data: ecological, hydrological and social science surveys; remotely-sensed data, participatory mapping, local documents, and scholarly literature. We describe the content, structure, and organization of the database and explain the development of data protocols and issues related to access and sharing. Descriptions of data analysis are included to demonstrate the utility of the database as well as its limitations. We conclude with a description of the challenges in creating a cross-cultural and multi-disciplinary database and lessons learned.
Entropy spectra of single horizon black holes in two dimensions
Creators: name: Lopez-Ortega, A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Hod conjecture proposes that the asymptotic quasinormal frequencies determine the entropy quantum of a black hole. Considering the Maggiore modification of this conjecture we calculate the entropy spectra of general, single horizon, asymptotically flat black holes in two-dimensional dilaton gravity. We also compute the entropy quanta of the two-dimensional Witten and AdS(2) black holes. Using the results for the entropy quanta of these two-dimensional black holes we discuss whether the produced values are generic. Finally we extend the results on the entropy spectra of other black holes.

A case study of prenatal education and online environments
Creators: name: Stoopnikoff, Karen Lee
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Current prenatal education literature is health care focused and does not incorporate the lived experiences of prenatal families or how consumers access prenatal information online. A literature review of online environments highlighted consumers’ use of the internet and desirable website design. The intent of this study was to understand prenatal families’ perspectives of their pregnancy needs and the contextual environment of online prenatal websites. In this respect the study differed from the narrow focus of previous research. The use of a multi-embedded case study design provided the flexibility and complexity required to address the research questions. A total of 69 websites were examined with each website situated in one of three case types - alternative, general or health care internet site. Each site was examined for website characteristics and nutrition articles. Conversations from two alternative and general chat-rooms were analyzed for site dynamics and prenatal learning needs. Client consent or ethical clearance was not required as the websites chosen were considered public domains and the researcher had no involvement with site participants. It was found both the general and the alternative websites are owned by businesses and dominate search engine results. Corporate sites are easier to navigate, offer more features and have higher visual appeal in comparison to government sites. Government sites make formal and broad recommendations for a healthy pregnancy. Corporate sites use informal styles to present focused information. Online consumers have difficulty accessing information and incorporating healthcare recommendations into their everyday lives. The two corporate chat-rooms highlight that each site has their own philosophies and norms of behaviour but both sites are affirming to site participants. Recommendations from this study highlight the importance of language tone in the creation of teaching materials, and using affirmation as a bridge between health care providers and consumers. Further recommendations follow on how to support front line prenatal educators in expanding their scope of knowledge to meet consumer needs through the development of a diverse and dynamic health care website.
Meet the Open Book Collective
Creators: name: Deville, Joe
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Presentation delivered at Opening the Future and the Open Book Collective. Diamond Open Access for Books? (29.11.2023, 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. (CET)).
Abstract
Due to high prices charged by commercial academic publishers and limited funding opportunities, it is still more difficult for scholars to publish Open Access books than journal articles. But how could open access books be produced at fair prices or even BPC-free? The Copim community has been investigating this question since 2020. Two models have developed in this context:
Opening the Future enables the financing of Open Access books through a membership model: in return for an annual membership fee, academic publishers make a selection of their backlist (non-OA books) available to academic libraries. The income from these membership fees enables the realisation of new OA books. 
The Open Book Collective is a non-profit organisation that emerged from the COPIM project and connects libraries, publishers, scholars and OA professionals with the aim of facilitating access to diverse and fair OA publications. The OBC is based on a governance structure including all stakeholders (publishers, libraries, scholars), preventing a commecrial sell-out. For publication service providers and publishers, the OBC allows them to finance their operations through a membership model. Libraries and researchers can use the OBC online platform to research and find OA publications, order or download them, and manage orders and subscriptions.

Some properties of the holographic fermions in an extremal charged dilatonic black hole

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011

description: We study the properties of the Green's functions of the fermions in the extremal charged dilatonic black hole proposed by Gubser and Rocha [Phys. Rev. D \textbf{81}, 046001 (2010)]. We find that many properties seem to be in agreement with that of Fermi liquid. Especially, the dispersion relation is linear. It is very different from that found in the extremal Reissner-Nordstr$\ddot{o}$m (RN) black hole for massless fermion, which is obviously non-Fermi liquid due to a nonlinear dispersion relation. However, for another scaling behavior of the height of $ImG_{11}$ at the maximum, the scaling exponent is not one, which is at odds with that found in the RN black hole.
