description: Introduction This study aimed to investigate the impact of visual animal nudge-based interventions, specifically through posters, on participants’ self-reported likelihood of future reusable mug use and emotional response to environmental messaging. Research Question How does placing two different empathy-eliciting marine animals (turtle and dolphin) on visual nudge posters impact people's emotions and influence their decision to use reusable coffee cups? Methods Conducted among 328 participants, primarily consisting of University of British Columbia students aged 18-44, the experiment divided individuals into one of three poster groups. Inspired by past research indicating the effectiveness of certain animals in eliciting empathetic responses, the posters selected were a control, turtle, and dolphin poster. Participants' intentions regarding reusable mug usage and their emotional reactions (measured through happiness, distress, and empathy) were measured using Likert scales following exposure. Additionally, participants were asked to select barriers and motivations surrounding reusable mug use from a list to gauge which factors may affect the overall user experience of reusable mugs. Results Findings did not find significant alterations in emotional response or likelihood of reusable mug use. This was possibly due to the short intervention duration, the study's post-test-only design, and the hypothetical nature. These limitations, alongside the sampling method and environmental conditions, may have influenced the study's outcomes, suggesting a need for more controlled, observational research to gauge the efficacy of visual animal nudges in promoting environmental behaviours. Recommendations We recommend UBC implement interventions that target forgetfulness and leverage environmental consciousness. Furthermore, the UBC campus should focus on creating spaces that incentivize reusable mug use as the user experience for a reusable mug user can be hostile due to inconvenience, financial issues, hygiene, and limited availability. To further increase the usage of reusable mugs and to meet the Zero Waste Action Plan (ZWAP) 2030 target, UBC can also opt to provide reusable cups for free to their students.

description: Attempts to measure distribution changes have fallen into categories: measures of personal income or wealth distribution called personal distribution and measures of returns to factors of production called functional distribution. Specific measures of personal distribution consist of the traditional formula measures (Gini, Pareta, etc.) and the more recent use of functional measures or estimations (Beta, Gama, etc.) Functional distribution research utilizes production functions and other output models to measure changes either quantiles of income or in formula or functional measures. Evaluation of the various distribution measures depends upon the requirements of the specific research task. Care must be taken to temper the analysis with non-operational structural impacts. Future problems will be the "old" problems, such as the definition of inequality, as they relate to new areas of research.

description: Web application security has become a major concern in recent years, as more and more content and services are available online. A useful method for identifying security vulnerabilities is black-box testing, which relies on an automated crawling of web applications. However, crawling Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) is a very challenging task. One of the key obstacles crawlers face is the state similarity problem: how to determine if two client-side states are equivalent. As current methods do not completely solve this problem, a successful scan of many real-world RIAs is still not possible. We present a novel approach to detect redundant content for security testing purposes. The algorithm applies locality-sensitive hashing using MinHash sketches in order to analyze the Document Object Model (DOM) structure of web pages, and to efficiently estimate similarity between them. Our experimental results show that this approach allows a successful scan of RIAs that cannot be crawled otherwise.

description: We study the fractal scaling of iso-levels sets of a passive scalar mixed by three-dimensional homogeneous and isotropic turbulence at high Reynolds numbers. The Schmidt number is unity. A fractal box-counting dimension $D_F$ can be obtained for iso-levels below about $3$ standard deviations of the scalar fluctuation on either side of its mean value. The dimension varies systematically with the iso-level, with a maximum of about $8/3$ for the iso-level at the mean; this maximum dimension also follows as an upper bound from the geometric measure theory. We interpret this result to mean that mixing in turbulence is always incomplete. A unique box-counting dimension for all iso-levels results when we consider the spatial support of the steep cliffs of the scalar conditioned on local strain; that unique dimension is about $4/3$.

description: We have studied the volume collapse of LaMnO$_3$ at the Jahn- Teller (JT) transition temperature T$_{JT}$=750 K which has recently been found in high temperature powder x- ray and neutron diffraction experiments. We construct a model Hamiltonian involving the pseudospin of Mn$^{3+}$ e$_g$ states, the staggered JT distortion and the volume strain coordinate. We show that the anharmonic coupling between these primary and secondary order parameters leads to the first order JT phase transition associated with a comparatively large reduction of the unit cell volume of $Δ$V/V$\simeq$ 10$^{-2}$. We explain the temperature dependence of JT distortions and volume strain and discuss the volume change as function of the anharmonic coupling constant. A continuous change to a second order transition as function of model parameters is obtained. This behaviour is also observed under Ba doping.

description: "The Influence of Psychic Costs on Human Resource Allocation'' Eastern Kentucky migrants in two urban centers were studied to determine the income levels required to induce a return to their home region. The average income specified was $1,777 below 1971 earned family income, and close to the 1971 average earnings in Eastern Kentucky. Roughly 50 percent of the variation in the income differential (psychic costs) was explained by regression analysis. Variations in the income differentials suggest that rural-to-urban migration is associated with negative private externalities at the point of origin and that interregional factor price differentials are inadequate measures of relative welfare.

description: Impact evaluation of public investment is essential for policy makers to evaluate the effectiveness of public resource allocation and for company management from various industries to determine whether to participate in grant programmes. This article aims to use statistical and econometrical methods (such as propensity score matching, average treatment effect on treated, difference-in-difference approach and pooled regression with time lags) to evaluate the impacts of investment support from the Rural Development Programme, national sources and the Operational Programme Enterprise and Innovation on selected key economic indicators. This representative case study of 412 companies from the Czech food and beverage industry during the period from 2007-2015 noted some interesting findings, many of which go against previous findings. The food and beverage industry is an important beneficiary of public investment subsidies. Investment support increases investment activity and the size of supported companies. This investment support could lead to a crowdingout effect, which has been revealed in recent studies. Simultaneously, investment support changes the capital structure of participants towards higher use of bank loans and positively affects long-term profitability. However, there were not any significant, positive effects on the intensity of the use of fixed assets and labour productivity, which has been a key impact indicator for programme evaluations. However, research revealed positive dynamic effects of investment support on improving resource efficiency.

description: Role of agriculture has been a matter of debate among development economist. Agriculture has been a major contributor in national income and employment in South Asian economies but its share in the national GDP has been declining over time. This study examines the relevance of declining agriculture due to structural transformation in economic growth of four South Asian countries namely India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. To analyze the long-run relationship between agriculture and economic growth, an empirical model based on Augmented Neoclassical Solow-Swan model is developed. Johansen and Juselius (1990) maximum likelihood technique based on VAR model and Granger causality test has been employed to analyze long run and short run causal relations between agriculture and economic growth respectively. Results show that in all four South Asian countries, agriculture has long-run association with economic growth and it is an important driver of economic growth. Short-run analysis indicates that agriculture stimulates economic growth in all South Asian countries except Bangladesh. Neglect of agriculture and excessive focus on industrialization may retard growth both in short and long run.

description: This study examines the time series properties of co-integration and causal relationship between oil (non-agricultural) and non-oil (agricultural) import and export in Africa’s largest economy. We employed Granger causality and Johansen and Juselius’s co-integration methods to investigate causal relationships among the variables Naira-US dollars exchange rate (USD), Naira-Pounds exchange rates (GBP), Oil Import (OI), Non-Oil import (NO), Oil Export (OE) and Non-Oil export (NE). We found empirical evidence for co-integration between oil and non-oil import. Our result reveals the existence of long run equilibrium between exchange rates, oil import and export, and non-oil import (agriculture) and export. Non-oil import and export involves those of agricultural products like Cocoa, Timber, Cassava and Groundnut. We show that there is bidirectional Granger causality from import and export of both agricultural (non-oil) and non-agricultural (oil) goods and vice-versa. This empirical relationship followed closely to what economic theory have suggested. The study recommends amongst others, that government should adopt appropriate monetary and fiscal policies that will ensure realistic and stable exchange rates and foster economic growth through import and export of agricultural products.

description: We study the secondary time-averaged flow (streaming) generated by an oscillating cylinder immersed within a fluid, under high amplitude forcing so that inertial effects are significant. This streaming is decomposed into a viscous boundary layer flow where vorticity is created, and an outer flow of larger size. We operate under conditions of relatively low viscosity, so that the boundary layer is smaller than the object diameter. While for low Keulegan-Carpenter (KC) number (small enough amplitude), the size of the outer flow is typically that of the object, here we show that at large enough forcing, the outer flow stretches along the direction of the vibration by up to 8 times, while the flow still keeps its axial symmetry. We quantify the elongation through PIV measurements under an unprecedented range of frequency and amplitude, so that the streaming Reynolds number reaches values much larger than unity. The absence of significant unsteady component of vorticity outside the viscous boundary layer - and the fact that the length of elongation scales well with the streaming Reynolds number - suggest that the stretching should be due to the convection of stationary vorticity by the streaming flow itself.

description: Introduction Our study aims to find the effect that loss and gain framing has on changing consumers’ selfreported intent to reduce the use of single-use cups. Research Question What is the effect that loss and gain framing have on changing consumer’s self-reported intent to use single-use cups? Methods Using a Qualtrics survey, participants were assigned to either the control condition (a neutral statement that offers no insight into the experiment's focus), the loss framing condition (which focuses on the idea of losing money when buying a single-use cup), or the gain condition (focuses on the idea of saving money when not buying a single-use cup). We then asked them to complete a survey where a Likert Scale measures likeliness to examine our primary measure of consumer intention to reduce single-use cup usage and our secondary measure looking at intent to bring one’s reusable mugs. A Likert Scale measuring surprise was also used to investigate how much people know about the cup fee as a tertiary measure. Results There was no significant difference in the gain, loss, and neutral frame in our primary measure, but significant effects in our secondary and tertiary measures. Although framing does not affect consumers’ intention to reduce single-use cup usage, loss framing increases intentions to bring reusable cups, and both gain and loss framing can increase surprise about the 25-cent fee. Recommendations We believe that UBC should implement posters, particularly in high-traffic areas where individuals are more likely to make purchasing decisions related to beverages (i.e.., tills, entrance, etc.), combining the loss framing aspect of our research with the long-term financial consequences associated with purchasing a single-use disposable coffee cup ($100 lost over a year). Future research could explore the effects of framing in person at cafés and the effects of financial versus environmental implications of single-use cups. We also recommend exploring partnerships with service providers on campus that could more conveniently offer alternatives to single-use cups.

description: Seasonal anomalies play an important role in the global economic system. One of the most frequently empirically observed anomalies is the Halloween effect. Halloween effect describes the anomaly on the financial markets, which is that the returns of different assets in the summer period are generally lower than the returns in the winter period. This study tests the Halloween effect on the agricultural commodities’ markets over the period from 1980 to 2016. The sample includes price series of 27 major agricultural commodities. The data show that 20 out of the 27 commodities recorded a higher average winter period than summer period returns and in 15 cases, the differences are statistically significant. The data also show that out of the 7 commodities with higher summer period returns (the “reverse Halloween effect”) only in cases of poultry and tea the differences are of statistically significant nature.

description: We study the nature of the finite-temperature transition of the three-dimensional scalar chromodynamics with N_f flavors. These models are constructed by considering maximally O(M)-symmetric multicomponent scalar models, whose symmetry is partially gauged to obtain SU(N_c) gauge theories, with a residual nonabelian global symmetry given by U(N_f) for N_c>2 and Sp(N_f) for N_c=2, so that M = 2 N_c N_f. We find that their finite-temperature transition is continuous for N_f=2 and for all values of Nc we investigated, N_c=2,3,4. Such continuous transitions belong to universality classes related to the global symmetry group of the theory. For N_c=2 it belongs to the SO(5)=Sp(2)/Z_2 universality class, while for N_c>2 it belongs to the SO(3)=SU(2)/Z_2 universality class. For N_f>2, the transition is always of first order. These results match the predictions obtained by using the effective Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson approach in terms of a gauge-invariant order parameter. Our results indicate that the nonabelian gauge degrees of freedom are irrelevant at the transition. These conclusions are supported by an analysis of gauge-field dependent correlation functions, that are always short-ranged, even at the transition.

description: We investigate the distribution of number of photons emitted by a single molecule undergoing a spectral diffusion process and interacting with a continuous wave field. Using a generating function formalism an exact analytical formula for Mandel's $Q$ parameter is obtained. The solution exhibits transitions between: (i) Quantum sub-Poissonian and Classical super-Poissonian behaviors, and (ii) fast to slow modulation limits. Our solution yields the conditions on the magnitude of the spectral diffusion time scales on which these transitions are observed. We show how to choose the Rabi frequency in such a way that the Quantum sub-Poissonian nature of the emission process becomes strongest, we find ${Ω^2 \over Γ} = {Γ_{\rm SD} + Γ\over 2}$ where $Γ_{\rm SD}$ ($Γ$) is the spectral diffusion (radiative) contribution to the width of the line shape.

description: Many factors affect low investments in Smederevo and among them, above all, are: high commercial and non-commercial risks, tardy economic transition and underdeveloped institutions, which guarantee in practice the rights deriving from the private property and contracts. Rural development in Smederevo requires that sources of competitiveness move toward high education, the efficient market and capability to earn on the existing technologies, i.e. the focus of agriculture should be moved from physical resources to knowledge, especially since agricultural enterprises in Smederevo have non-profitable business performances, which manifest through decline in the market share and profitability, increase in indebtedness, inadequate investments and the increased volume of new business ventures at the expense of the primary business. It is noticeable that the adequate entrepreneurial skills and the innovated managerial abilities and skills are necessary. Accordingly, exactly the development of innovation and transfer of innovative knowledge and technologies from the academic to agricultural sector are the most important form of activities, which stimulate development. In that sense, it is necessary to stimulate the common work of universities, research institutions and agriculture as well as to use the equipment and knowledge of everybody at universities and institutes by the companies and vice versa and the student projects and practice. The policies of labour market should increase the participation of additional education programmes and training in measures of an active employment policy, which comprises the different programmes of qualifications and trainings, re-trainings and additional trainings, functional primary education of adults. At the same time, the above-mentioned programmes should be directed to the most vulnerable groups in the labour market and individuals with multiple vulnerability factors, first of all, through strengthening capacities at the local level for improvement of educational development and trainings in the field of agriculture and rural development.

description: Agricultural prices volatility plays important role in the variety of economic processes. It directly impacts stability of farmers’ income and has impact on economic efficiency of agricultural production. In this paper volatility of prices on Polish, European Union and global wheat market is quantified. The aim of the article is to answer the question whether Polish wheat price volatility changed after joining the European Union. Using monthly prices for two subperiods 1993-2004 and 2005-2014 absolute and relative volatility was estimated. The results indicate that there was a substantial volatility growth after accession to the European Union. However when the relation of volatility on Polish market to that observed on European and global market was estimated, there was a fall in the level of relative volatility, especially when short-term fluctuation were excluded from analyzed time series. To identify changes in volatility transmission patters Granger causality tests were also conducted. Change in wheat price volatility transmission was revealed. Before joining the European Union volatility of Polish wheat prices was Granger caused by fluctuations on global market, while after 2004 European prices volatility was found to be a Granger cause of Polish wheat prices volatility.

description: The Kondo effect is investigated in a many-electron quantum ring as a function of magnetic field. For fields applied perpendicular to the plane of the ring a modulation of the Kondo effect with the Aharonov-Bohm period is observed. This effect is discussed in terms of the energy spectrum of the ring and the parametrically changing tunnel coupling. In addition, we use gate voltages to modify the ground-state spin of the ring. The observed splitting of the Kondo-related zero-bias anomaly in this configuration is tuned with an in-plane magnetic field.

ICG uptake test of control hepatocytes (A-D: Hep2007) and iPSC-derived cells (E–H: SM). The cells were washed with PBS and incubated in DMEM medium containing 1 mg/ml freshly prepared ICG reagent at 37 °C for 1 h. At least 10 non-overlapping fields of view were recorded under the microscope and cells with green nuclear staining were counted as positive. Cells were then incubated with ICG-free complete medium at 37 °C for 6 h to detect ICG release. A, B, E, F: Phase-contrast micrograph. C, D, G, H: Fluorescent micrographs.

description: Peer to peer (P2P) networks are an overlay on IP network of the internet and they can shape the future of computing by their involvement in distributed systems with the increased of use of low priced personal computers to form big clusters of distributed systems. An important problem for P2P networks and models is searching for data in the network which can be the basis of any service that uses such a network. Here we explore the major types of P2P networks and their solution to such a problem and we explore improvements that happened to these networks to be more appealing for commercial usage by offering features of load balancing, scalability, self organization and fault tolerance.

description: The cooperation between local communities, scientific research institutions and LAGs ‒ local action groups (especially to development oriented agricultural farms, SMEs ‒ small and medium enterprises and entrepreneurs in the field of agriculture) is imposed as necessary during the establishment of the strategy of sustainable agriculture and rural development of any local community in the Republic of Serbia. Only with close cooperation of all interested local stakeholders can be set a realistic SWOT matrix that describes well state of agriculture and rural areas at the local level (picture of internal resources and development constraints, in the context of opportunities and threats of the environment), then definition of adequate development goals and directions of investment activities that would lead to the realization of determined goals of sustainable agricultural and rural development. As any local government should individually find the best possible modalities for making of its own plan for sustainable development of agriculture and rural development, the intention of the Institute of Agricultural Economics from Belgrade, in this case, was the establishment of model for sustainable development of agriculture and rural areas at the territory of Bački Petrovac municipality (Vojvodina region). The core of proposed model is contained in establishment of the document based on completeness and integrativity, social consensus, in other words participation of citizens, farmers and all stakeholders, in order to achieve more efficient decision-making process related to future capital investments.

Hadronic Higgs Production and Decay in Supersymmetry at Next-to-Leading Order

description: Supersymmetric QCD corrections to the gluonic production and decay rate of a CP-even Higgs boson are evaluated at next-to-leading order. To this aim, we derive an effective Lagrangian for the gluon-Higgs coupling. We show that a consistent calculation requires the inclusion of gluino effects, in contrast to what has been done previously. The supersymmetric corrections to the gluon-Higgs coupling lead to a modification of the next-to-leading order K-factor for the Higgs production rate at the LHC by less than five percent.

description: We review the current technology underlying surface haptics that converts passive touch surfaces to active ones (machine haptics), our perception of tactile stimuli displayed through active touch surfaces (human haptics), their potential applications (human-machine interaction), and finally the challenges ahead of us in making them available through commercial systems. This review primarily covers the tactile interactions of human fingers or hands with surface-haptics displays by focusing on the three most popular actuation methods: vibrotactile, electrostatic, and ultrasonic.

description: Fiscal policy affects the economy through numerous channels. Fiscal impulses are defined as changes in government budget balance resulting from changes in budget expenditure and taxation [Shinasi, Lutz 1991]. The interest of economist in assessing fiscal impulses and determining their short and long-term impact on the economy has been growing since the 90s of the previous century. The role of fiscal impulses, also referred to as fiscal stimulus, is sometimes also analysed at the sectorial level. However, agriculture has not been found as a popular research issue. This is partly related to the fact that the estimation of output is in this sector of the economy is subject to even greater uncertainly than in other sectors. Therefore, it is more advisable to measure input rather than output [de Castro et al., 2010]. In both the EU and global economy the period 2007-2015 was characterized by a serious financial and economic crises that led in numerous countries to introducing stimulus packages or austerity measures. In Poland the negative impact of the EU and global crises was not that significant therefore the introduction of special measures was limited. Yet, it is interesting to verify what were the fiscal impulses targeting the Polish agriculture and how they influenced the situation of this sector, which are the aims of this paper. The results show that the fiscal policy towards agriculture remained in the analysed period relatively stable and thus its impact on agriculture was limited. However, small fiscal adjustments observed can be classified as expansionary.
