description: The purpose of this paper is to explore the ties between business and power in Russia and to analyse the features of what can be considered a conflictual relationship. Using the approaches of D. North, J. Wallis, B. Weingast, and J. Nye as a starting point, this article provides an overview of new business development in Russia and suggests that power is an important factor in the relationship between businesses and authorities in a transitional society. Drawing on both a theoretical and empirical analysis, it will be shown that ties between businesses and authorities have come to generate social distrust and negative attitudes towards both institutions in today’s Russia.

description: Since 2006, Turkmenistan has been listed as one of the few Internet enemies by Reporters without Borders due to its extensively censored Internet and strictly regulated information control policies. Existing reports of filtering in Turkmenistan rely on a small number of vantage points or test a small number of websites. Yet, the country's poor Internet adoption rates and small population can make more comprehensive measurement challenging. With a population of only six million people and an Internet penetration rate of only 38%, it is challenging to either recruit in-country volunteers or obtain vantage points to conduct remote network measurements at scale. We present the largest measurement study to date of Turkmenistan's Web censorship. To do so, we developed TMC, which tests the blocking status of millions of domains across the three foundational protocols of the Web (DNS, HTTP, and HTTPS). Importantly, TMC does not require access to vantage points in the country. We apply TMC to 15.5M domains, our results reveal that Turkmenistan censors more than 122K domains, using different blocklists for each protocol. We also reverse-engineer these censored domains, identifying 6K over-blocking rules causing incidental filtering of more than 5.4M domains. Finally, we use Geneva, an open-source censorship evasion tool, to discover five new censorship evasion strategies that can defeat Turkmenistan's censorship at both transport and application layers. We will publicly release both the data collected by TMC and the code for censorship evasion.

description: We present a new algorithm for refining a real interval containing a single real root: the new method combines characteristics of the classical Bisection algorithm and Newton's Iteration. Our method exhibits quadratic convergence when refining isolating intervals of simple roots of polynomials (and other well-behaved functions). We assume the use of arbitrary precision rational arithmetic. Unlike Newton's Iteration our method does not need to evaluate the derivative.

Contested Notions of National Identity, Ethnic Movements And Democratization in Iran
Creators: name: Yesiltas, Ozum
Publisher: name: Studies of Transition States and Societies
Year: 2016
Subjects: national identity, ethnicity, democratization, minority rights

description: Since the Constitutional Revolution of 1906, successive regimes in Iran promoted competing conceptions of Iranian national identity. However, the policy of promoting nationalism as a state-sponsored ideology that excludes Iran’s ethnic and religious diversity remained unchanged. Competing discourses around nation building and identity strikingly intersect with the struggle for democratization in Iran. Since the Islamic Revolution, the pro-democracy movement in the country takes place on two fronts: the confrontation between the conservatives and the reformists, and the challenge posed by the ethnic movements towards the official denial of the ethnic and religious diversity of Iran. This article argues that be they reformist or conservative, successive governments in Iran have refused to recognize the multi-ethnic structure of Iranian society and the legitimate rights of the ethnic groups. Therefore, a regime change would be unlikely to alter the social and political status of ethnic and religious minorities unless the ethnic movements and the pro-democracy opposition collaborate. Formation of a common discourse on the question of ‘Iranianness’ is the primary condition for this to be accomplished.

description: We present a survey on several mass transportation problems, in which a given mass dynamically moves from an initial configuration to a final one. The approach we consider is the one introduced by Benamou and Brenier in [5], where a suitable cost functional $F(ρ,v)$, depending on the density $ρ$ and on the velocity $v$ (which fulfill the continuity equation), has to be minimized. Acting on the functional $F$ various forms of mass transportation problems can be modeled, as for instance those presenting congestion effects, occurring in traffic simulations and in crowd motions, or concentration effects, which give rise to branched structures.

description: In this work, we extensively investigate the terrestrial planetary formation for the inclined planetary systems (considering the OGLE-2006-BLG-109L system as prototype) in the late stage. In the simulations, we show that the occurrence of terrestrial planets is quite common, in the final assembly stage. Moreover, we find that 40% of the runs finally occupy one planet in the habitable zone (HZ). On the other hand, the numerical results also indicate that the inner region of the planetesimal disk, ranging from $\sim 0.1$ to 0.3 AU, plays an important role in building up terrestrial planets. By examining all simulations, we note that the survivals are located either between 0.1$\sim$1.0 AU or beyond 7 AU, or at the 1:1 mean motion resonance of OGLE-2006-BLG-109Lb at $\sim$2.20 AU. The outcomes suggest that it may exist moderate possibility for the inclined systems to harbor terrestrial planets, even planets in the HZs.

The Evasion of Retirement Insurance Contributions in Croatia
Creators: name: Bejakovic, Predrag
Publisher: name: Studies of Transition States and Societies
Year: 2016
Subjects: retirement system, evasion and non-payment of contributions for the pensions system, Croatia

description: The aim of this paper is to investigate the evasion of retirement insurance contributions in Croatia. This problem can be connected to the weakness of the administration and the inefficacy of the competent bodies, to high rates of contributions and a general lack of trust in the public pension system based on intergenerational solidarity. One of the most important determinants of evasion is the benefit deriving from the insurance, that is, the relation between the contributions and the pension. Insured persons who have worked their whole lives and have reached old-age pensions have an unfavourable ratio of contributions paid in and amount of pension received, because funds for pensions have been redistributed to several other categories. After a brief explanation of the pension reform, we draw attention to certain legislative inconsistencies connected with retirement insurance. The paper closes with a proposal for possible measures for the improvement of collection.

description: Many approaches to three-dimensional constrained macromolecular chains at thermal equilibrium, at about room temperatures, are based upon constrained Classical Hamiltonian Dynamics (cCHDa). Quantum-mechanical approaches (QMa) have also been treated by different researchers for decades. QMa address a fundamental issue (constraints versus the uncertainty principle) and are versatile: they also yield classical descriptions (which may not coincide with those from cCHDa, although they may agree for certain relevant quantities). Open issues include whether QMa have enough practical consequences which differ from and/or improve those from cCHDa. We shall treat cCHDa briefly and deal with QMa, by outlining old approaches and focusing on recent ones.

description: Alectinib HCl (ALB-HCl) is a BCS class IV molecule with low solubility and low oral bioavailability. Owing to its low bioavailability, a high dose of ALB-HCl is recommended with food to meet clinical efficacy. Thus, there is a need for a delivery system to overcome the bioavailability concerns. Three solid dispersion (SD) formulations (I, II, and III) were evaluated for in-vitro dissolution and in-vivo pharmacokinetics (PK) study in Wistar rats. An in-vitro and in-vivo correlation (IVIVC) model was developed to establish a relationship between in-vitro dissolution data and in-vivo PK data. The formulations were subjected to stability studies. All formulations showed enhanced dissolution in all the media except Formulation I in FaSSIF media. In-vivo PK studies displayed that Formulation I was inferior to API alone. Formulations II and III (amorphous SD [ASD]) exhibited two-fold higher Cmax and AUC0–last than API alone. Level A IVIVC model was established for Cmax and AUC0–last with an acceptable % prediction error (PE). When evaluated for external predictability, the model was found validated for Cmax (% PE <10%), however, it was inconclusive for AUC0–last (%PE −14.03). Stability studies showed ASD formulations were stable during storage. A stable ASD formulation of ALB-HCl was successfully developed with improved bioavailability. Developing an IVIVC model can act as a surrogate to predict in-vivo performance. The selection of formulation components in ASD shall be rationalized for bioavailability and stability before clinical evaluation.

The simultaneous description of the pi0, eta and eta-prime meson two-photon form factors is consistent with data in the space-like region. The obtained form factors are implemented in the event generator EKHARA and the simulated cross sections are presented. Uncertainties in the measured form factors coming from the model dependence in Monte Carlo simulations are studied. The model predictions for the form factor slopes at the origin are given and the high-Q2 limit is also discussed.

description: Базой для построения экономической учетной информационно-аналитической системы является хранилище данных, которое само по себе ни каких функций анализа не выполняет. Исходные данные собираются из различных источников и загружаются в единое хранилище корпорации, которое представляет собой реляционную базу данных, построенную на основе СУБД. При работе с хранилищем у специалистов возникают проблемы при загрузке и выгрузке информации, так как он не всегда владеет лексическим набором слов на языке запросов при работе с информацией. Семантический слой позволяет является обеспечивающим механизмом доступа к хранилищу данных, так как позволяет трансформировать термины экономической сферы в процедуры запросов при работе с базой данных. При формировании учетной информационно-аналитической системы можно применять несколько семантических связок, для разных областей информации, функционирующей в компании, либо применять одну, которая будет объединять все приложения. Для создания систем экономической отчетности при формировании учетной информационно-аналитической системы могут применяться различные подходы, в которых выборка информации осуществляется на основе лингвистических связок, определяющих значения показателе.
description: The basis for building an accounting information and analytical system is a data warehouse, which in itself does not perform any analysis functions. Initial data is collected from various sources and loaded into a single corporate repository, which is a relational database built on the basis of a DBMS. When working with a repository, specialists have problems loading and unloading information, since it does not always know the lexical set of words in the query language when working with information. The semantic layer allows it to be a providing mechanism for accessing the data warehouse, since it allows transforming the terms of the economic sphere into query procedures when working with a database. When forming an accounting information and analytical system, you can use several semantic bundles for different areas of information operating in a company, or use one that will unite all applications. To create systems of economic reporting in the formation of an accounting information and analytical system, various approaches can be used, in which the selection of information is carried out on the basis of linguistic links that determine the values of the indicator.

description: Across plant communities worldwide, fire regimes reflect a combination of climatic factors and plant characteristics. To shed new light on the complex relationships between plant characteristics and fire regimes, we developed a new conceptual, mechanistic model that includes plant competition, stochastic fires, and fire-vegetation feedback. Considering a single standing plant functional type, we observed that highly flammable and slowly colonizing plants can persist only when they have a strong fire response, while fast colonizing and less flammable plants can display a larger range of fire responses. At the community level, the fire response of the strongest competitor determines the existence of alternative ecological states, i.e. different plant communities, under the same environmental conditions. Specifically, when the strongest competitor had a very strong fire response, such as in Mediterranean forests, only one ecological state could be achieved. Conversely, when the strongest competitor was poorly fire-adapted, alternative ecological states emerged, for example between tropical humid savannas and forests, or between different types of boreal forests. These findings underline the importance of including the plant fire response when modeling fire ecosystems, e.g. to predict the vegetation response to invasive species or to climate change.

Although bottom-up and informal mechanisms of creating identity have been acknowledged in the literature and methodology of nationalism studies, they have seldom been applied to studies in the post-Soviet countries. This article discusses the strengths and limitations of such an approach, using the example of two studies – on consumption and national identity in Ukraine and on music and nation-building in Estonia

Two Decades of Estonian Police and the (Ir)relevance of Police Models for the Development of Safety Policy

Subjects: community policing, police reform, Estonia, wicked problems

description: Police models are designed to improve safety in society. Although Estonia has not deliberately used any (combination of) police models for developing its policies of safety and its police reforms since the country regained independence, its safety has improved considerably during the last couple of decades. The scholarly discussions about police models are overwhelmingly about the possible effects of different models on safety management and about their application to particular countries. However, countries like Estonia with no consistent conceptions of police have received little attention in academic literature. We aim to fill this gap by analysing the developments of the Estonian police in its philosophical, strategic, tactical and organisational dimensions over the period between 1991 and 2013. The analysed materials include the official police development plans, legislation, statutes, training programs and statistics about the police. Our analysis shows that although safety in Estonia has improved considerably, developments of the Estonian police are characterised by internal discrepancies and inconsistencies. In view of this, we put forth some hypotheses for further studies regarding policy development in a situation where policy is not explicitly stated or where organisational reforms are seen not as “simple” or “complex” problems, but as “wicked” problems.

description: This pilot study aimed to develop a liquid formulation of tenapanor and evaluate taste and palatability with different sweetener and flavor combinations. Tenapanor is a first-in-class, minimally absorbed, small molecule inhibitor of intestinal sodium/hydrogen exchanger 3, indicated (as tablets) to treat adults with constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome. It is also approved as add-on therapy to reduce serum phosphorus in adults with chronic kidney disease on dialysis who are intolerant of, or unacceptably responsive to, any dose of phosphate binder therapy. Since many patients have difficulty swallowing pills and pediatric studies are underway, a liquid formulation was developed, and taste profiles were evaluated for overall acceptability. Formulation of liquid tenapanor targeted a concentration of 5 mg/mL, for a dosing range of 1–50 mg twice daily. Improvements in solubility and stability of tenapanor in water were investigated with the use of buffers, cosolvents, and preservatives. Seven liquid formulations with different sweetener/flavor combinations were assessed for taste and palatability by healthy adult participants using the sip-and-spit method in a randomized design. An aqueous solution of tenapanor (5 mg/mL), pH 3.4, with 0.05% (w/v) benzoic acid, was stable at 2–8 °C for 12 months. The formulation with sucralose and raspberry flavor had the greatest improvement in overall acceptability and taste when compared to the reference solution without sweeteners or flavors. A suitable liquid formulation was identified for progression to patient studies.
A semiclassical realization of infrared renormalons

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: Perturbation series in quantum field theory are generally divergent asymptotic series which are also typically not Borel resummable in the sense that the resummed series is ambiguous. The ambiguity is associated with singularities in the Borel plane on the positive real axis. In quantum mechanics there are cases in which the ambiguity that arises in perturbation theory cancels against a similarly ambiguous contribution from instanton--anti-instanton events. In asymptotically free gauge theories this mechanism does not suffice because perturbation theory develops ambiguities associated with singularities in the Borel plane which are closer to the origin by a factor of about N (the rank of the gauge group) compared to the singularities realized by instanton events. These are called IR renormalon poles, and on R**4 they do not possess any known semiclassical realization. By using continuity on R**3 x S**1, and by generalizing the works of Bogomolny and Zinn-Justin to QFT, we identify saddle point field configurations, e.g., bion--anti-bion events, corresponding to singularities in the Borel plane which are of order N times closer to the origin than the 4d BPST instanton--anti-instanton singularity. We conjecture that these are the leading singularities in the Borel plane and that they are the incarnation of the elusive renormalons in the weak coupling regime.

description: This special issue of Studies of Transition States and Societies focuses on youth political participation in Estonia. The articles explore diff erent dimensions of participation, providing examples of how politics is practiced by young people in a society that has undergone a relatively recent and substantial social, economic and political transformation: the shift from being an integral part of the Soviet Union to full membership of the European Union. This transition is refl ected in changing patterns of activism among Estonian youth and the nature of the issues with which they engage, with participation influenced by, one the one hand, the legacies of the communist period and, on the other, the challenge of living in contemporary Europe.

description: We investigate the dynamics of systems of many coupled phase oscillators with het- erogeneous frequencies. We suppose that the oscillators occur in M groups. Each oscillator is connected to other oscillators in its group with "attractive" coupling, such that the coupling promotes synchronization within the group. The coupling between oscillators in different groups is "repulsive"; i.e., their oscillation phases repel. To address this problem, we reduce the governing equations to a lower-dimensional form via the ansatz of Ott and Antonsen . We first consider the symmetric case where all group parameters are the same, and the attractive and repulsive coupling are also the same for each of the M groups. We find a manifold L of neutrally stable equilibria, and we show that all other equilibria are unstable. For M \geq 3, L has dimension M - 2, and for M = 2 it has dimension 1. To address the general asymmetric case, we then introduce small deviations from symmetry in the group and coupling param- eters. Doing a slow/fast timescale analysis, we obtain slow time evolution equations for the motion of the M groups on the manifold L. We use these equations to study the dynamics of the groups and compare the results with numerical simulations.

Negotiating the Past: Some Issues of Transmission of Memories among Estonian Young People
Creators: name: Nugin, Raili
Publisher: name: Studies of Transition States and Societies
Year: 2016
Subjects: youth, transmission of memory, communicative memory, socialisation of the past, multi- cultural society.

description: All across Europe, the past has always played a significant role in youth activism and continues to do so, though in different countries the extent of this role may vary. This particular article deals with the question of how the issues of the past resonate in the lives of young people in Estonia. During recent decades, the tensions between hegemonic and alternative pasts have been a source of discursive as well as physical combats among the different socio-cultural groups in Estonia and are often loaded with a political and ideological burden. In 2007, these different understandings peaked with street riots, mostly dominated by young people. Thus, understanding the mechanisms of how young people make sense of the complicated past can tell us also a lot about the reasons behind their political activism (or lack thereof). The article is especially keen on exploring the questions of mechanisms of transmission of memory — how the past is socialised in different contexts (schools, museums, home), and how difficult pasts are dealt with and negotiated in groups of different ethnic and cultural background. By doing so, it will contribute to the theoretical discussions on relations of hegemonic past and communicative memory, how in different cultural contexts the hegemonic past is moulded or contested. It will be argued that young people actively contextualise and rework the matters of the complicated past in their everyday contexts. Neither hegemonic discourse nor the communicative past is absorbed without questions but constantly negotiated. The dataset of this article consists of in-depth individual (84) and group interviews (5) predominantly with young people, but also other meaningful adults in the youngsters’ lives: their parents and grandparents, teachers and the like. In addition, participant observations are used as background data. The sample involves both ethnic Estonians and Russian-speaking minorities.

description: Using X-ray diffraction, DSC and magnetization measurements, a magnoestructural map of the (Mn,Fe)3(Si,P) system was assembled and reported in the current paper. Besides the already known cubic phase for Mn3-xFexSi system and the tetragonal and orthorhombic phases for the Mn3-xFexP system, a novel hexagonal phase has been observed for Mn3 xFexSi1-yPy, within the approximate range of 0.2

description: Events like inflation or phase transitions can produce large density perturbations on very small scales in the early Universe. Probes of small scales are therefore useful for e.g. discriminating between inflationary models. Until recently, the only such constraint came from non-observation of primordial black holes (PBHs), associated with the largest perturbations. Moderate-amplitude perturbations can collapse shortly after matter-radiation equality to form ultracompact minihalos (UCMHs) of dark matter, in far greater abundance than PBHs. If dark matter self-annihilates, UCMHs become excellent targets for indirect detection. Here we discuss the gamma-ray fluxes expected from UCMHs, the prospects of observing them with gamma-ray telescopes, and limits upon the primordial power spectrum derived from their non-observation by the Fermi Large Area Space Telescope.

Patterns and Types of Youth Activism in Two Contrasting Locations in Estonia

Subjects: job insecurity, predictors, consequences, European Social Survey.

description: While some decades ago it was believed in European countries that the state should take the responsibility of assuring its citizens’ well-being (social citizenship), nowadays it is believed that individual autonomy and activism should have a more prominent role in well-being. This perspective raises questions about how large share of young people is socially and politically active and how is involvement in different activities correlated. Is activism predominantly cumulative with relatively few being relatively active or, instead, are relatively many involved in a relatively few activities? The article explores youth activism patterns in two contrasting locations in Estonia. The analysis uses survey data collected in project MYPLACE, which contain a rich set of activism indicators. For establishing patterns of youth activism, cluster analysis is used. Analysis results show a considerable concentration of social and political activism in a relatively small fraction of young people while large part of young people is completely inactive or active only lightly. As a result, only a relatively small proportion of young people has the potential to make its interests and needs visible and politicised so that these could be taken into account. Such activism patterns are likely to lead to increasing inequalities instead on more just and equal society.

description: A 57Fe nucleus in the solar core could emit a 14.4-keV monochromatic axion through the M1 transition if a hypothetical elementary particle, axion, exists to solve the strong CP problem. Transition edge sensor (TES) X-ray microcalorimeters can detect such axions very efficiently if they are again converted into photons by a 57Fe absorber. We have designed and produced a dedicated TES array with 57Fe absorbers for the solar axion search. The iron absorber is set next to the TES, keeping a certain distance to reduce the iron-magnetization effect on the spectroscopic performance. A gold thermal transfer strap connects them. A sample pixel irradiated from a 55Fe source detected 698 pulses. In contrast to thermal simulations, we consider that the pulses include either events produced in an iron absorber or gold strap at a fraction dependent on the absorption rate of each material. Furthermore, photons deposited on the iron absorber are detected through the strap as intended. The identification of all events still needs to be completed. However, we successfully operated the TES with the unique design under iron magnetization for the first time.

Perceptions of Participation and the Share Button

Subjects: new repertoires of political participation, youth social media practices, social media and political participation, perceptions of participation.

description: This article analyses Estonian youth’s perceptions of their own political participation and their practices of participation on social media. We analysed 60 interviews with Estonian informants in a MYPLACE study and relied on a conceptual broadening that acknowledges the political potential of everyday. We relay on theories of standby citizenship and spiral of silence to understand signing petitions, commenting, liking and sharing politically minded content online. Based on this we suggest that young people in Estonia are interested in political issues and public opinion and their social media use represents a diversification of how citizens take part in civic matters. However, youths do not necessarily believe in the efficacy of social media in enacting political change and their reasons for not participating can be seen as indicative of a desire for both impression management and being affected by the spiral of silence.

Fluid-fluid demixing curves for colloid-polymer mixtures in a random colloidal matrix

description: We study fluid-fluid phase separation in a colloid-polymer mixture adsorbed in a colloidal porous matrix close to the θ-point. For this purpose we consider the Asakura-Oosawa model in the presence of a quenched matrix of colloidal hard spheres. We study the dependence of the demixing curve on the parameters that characterize the quenched matrix, fixing the polymer-to-colloid size ratio to 0.8. We find that, to a large extent, demixing curves depend only on a single parameter f, which represents the volume fraction which is unavailable to the colloids. We perform Monte Carlo simulations for volume fractions f equal to 40% and 70%, finding that the binodal curves in the polymer and colloid packing-fraction plane have a small dependence on disorder. The critical point instead changes significantly: for instance, the colloid packing fraction at criticality increases with increasing f. Finally, we observe for some values of the parameters capillary condensation of the colloids: a bulk colloid-poor phase is in chemical equilibrium with a colloid-rich phase in the matrix.

description: Considering finite extensions K[A] \subseteq K[B] of positive affine semigroup rings over a field K we have developed in [1] an algorithm to decompose K[B] as a direct sum of monomial ideals in K[A]. By computing the regularity of homogeneous semigroup rings from the decomposition we have confirmed the Eisenbud-Goto conjecture in a range of new cases not tractable by standard methods. Here we first illustrate this technique and its implementation in our Macaulay2 package MonomialAlgebras by computing the decomposition and the regularity step by step for an explicit example. We then focus on ring-theoretic properties of simplicial semigroup rings. From the characterizations given in [1] we develop and prove explicit algorithms testing properties like Buchsbaum, Cohen-Macaulay, Gorenstein, normal, and seminormal, all of which imply the Eisenbud-Goto conjecture. All algorithms are implemented in our Macaulay2 package.

description: In this conference paper, we consider effective field theories of non-relativistic dark matter particles interacting with a light force mediator in the early expanding universe. We present a general framework, where to account in a systematic way for the relevant processes that may affect the dynamics during thermal freeze-out. In the temperature regime where near-threshold effects, most notably the formation of bound states and Sommerfeld enhancement, have a large impact on the dark matter relic density, we scrutinize possible contributions from higher excited states and radiative corrections in the annihilations and decays of dark-matter pairs.
