description: A prioridade dada à industrialização dos centros metropolitanos contribuiu muito pouco para a solução dos problemas essenciais dos países do Terceiro Mundo. Na Região Nordeste, no Brasil, tal orientação de política econômica permitiu taxas razoáveis de crescimento econômico, mas não possibilitou, simultaneamente, êxitos na diminuição das disparidades no nível de renda "per capita", em relação ao país, que é o objetivo básico do projeto regional. Na verdade, nos últimos anos tem se verificado no Nordeste uma tendência à concentração da renda pessoal, à emigração descontrolada para as grandes cidades e às distorções sociais no campo e nos centros urbanos. Em consequência disto, tem crescido o interesse no Nordeste pelos problemas da interiorizarão da indústria e pela estratégia de desenvolvimento rural integrado, de modo geral. Este novo enfoque admite que consideráveis vantagens podem advir da integração da indústria com a agricultura nas próprias zonas rurais. A industrialização das comunidades do interior é apontada, enfim, como a estratégia apropriada à elevação da renda e do nível de emprego dos habitantes do interior, bem como capaz de reduzir os fluxos emigratórios do campo. Outro efeito positivo das indústrias rurais é melhorar a distribuição da renda e ampliar a dimensão do mercado para os produtos agrícolas. Em vista dos fatores tradicionais de atração da indústria para os centros urbanos mais importantes, não se deve esperar que a industrialização rural se faça espontaneamente pelas forças de mercado. Deve haver uma política governamental específica sobre o assunto, assim como um planejamento cuidadoso e flexível. No caso do Nordeste, a implantação das indústrias rurais deveria ser iniciada nas áreas dos projetos de irrigação onde há infraestrutura apropriada, bem como oferta de matérias-primas ajustáveis às necessidades manufatureiras. O Programa de Agroindústria do Nordeste, iniciado em 1975 e executado pelo Banco do Nordeste do Brasil e a SUDENE, corresponde a um primeiro passo na direção do novo enfoque, já havendo financiado 42 empresas, alcançando até o final de junho de 1979 o investimento total de Cr$3 bilhões e a criação de 12.585 empregos diretos. O aspecto central da nova concepção de industrialização rural, contudo, no contexto do desenvolvimento rural integrado, consiste em adotar uma forma de organização empresarial que permita a participação da comunidade rural no valor adicionado do processo de beneficiamento. As informações e conclusões constantes deste trabalho são, em parte, baseadas em pesquisas realizadas na Divisão de Estudos Agropecuários do Banco do Nordeste do Brasil sobre a industrialização rural do Nordeste, bem como em estudos e observações do próprio autor.

description: The farmers in the Bow River Basin (BRB), Canada, have adopted water conservation strategies to reduce water needs. This reduction, however, encouraged the expansion of irrigation, which may rebound agricultural water demands. This paradox requires an understanding of human adaptation to drought by mapping individual farmers’ water conservation decisions to the dynamics of the basin-wide water demand. We develop an agent-based agricultural water demand (ABAD) model, simulating farmers’ behavior in adopting new on-farm irrigation systems and/or changing crop patterns in response to drought conditions in the BRB. ABAD demonstrates (1) how farmers’ attitude toward profits, risk aversion, environmental protection, social interaction, and irrigation expansion explains the dynamics of the water demand and (2) how the conservation program may paradoxically lead to the rebound phenomenon. ABAD, subject to its conceptualization limitations, can be used for exploration and scenario analysis of future agricultural water demand in response to water conservation programs in the BRB.

description: In this paper we extend Hardy's nonlocality proof for two spin-1/2 particles [PRL 71 (1993) 1665] to the case of n spin-1/2 particles configured in the generalized GHZ state. We show that, for all n \geq 3, any entangled GHZ state violates the Bell inequality associated with the Hardy experiment. This feature is important since it has been shown [PRL 88 (2002) 210402] that, for all n odd, there are entangled GHZ states that do not violate any standard n-particle correlation Bell inequality.

description: We consider a gravitational perturbation of the Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity with an arbitrary dilaton potential and study the condition under which the quadratic action can be seen as a $T\bar{T}$-deformation of the matter action. As a special case, the flat-space JT gravity discussed by Dubovsky et al[arXiv:1706.06604 ] is included. Another interesting example is a hyperbolic dilaton potential. This case is equivalent to a classical Liouville gravity with a negative cosmological constant and then a finite $T\bar{T}$-deformation of the matter action is realized as a gravitational perturbation on AdS$_2$.

description: We investigate the relation between analyst stock recommendations and eight concurrently available variables that have predictive power for stock returns. We find that analysts generally pay little attention to the large sample predictive attributes of these variables. In seven out of eight cases, analysts’ stock recommendations are directionally opposite to the variable’s normative usage in returns prediction. In general, analysts exhibit a strong bias in favor of glamour stocks with growth characteristics. Despite this general bias, analyst recommendations have incremental predictive power for future returns. In fact, after controlling for the other predictive variables, the predictive power of the level of the analyst recommendation increases. These findings suggest that analyst stock recommendations contain information that is largely orthogonal to the information in the other predictive variables. We discuss the implications of these results for analysts, and for investors who rely on their recommendations.

description: The wise selection of modeling approaches with an appropriate level of complexity for the study objectives is critical for robust inference. In this paper, the structure of a cost–performance grid designed for flood modeling is presented. The grid is developed to compare different flood modeling approaches of variable complexity and to provide guidance on the proper selection of the data-model couple. The methodology involves defining metrics to quantify the three variables: data costs, model costs, and performance. Preliminarily, 18 flood modeling applications in the literature were arbitrarily selected and analyzed to guide the implementation of the grid. The cost–performance diagram allows us to trace a cost–performance curve and group applications in four zones corresponding to four modeling approaches (empirical and geomorphic, hydrological, hydraulic, and coupling). The grid is a tool to support the comparison, classification, and future selection of cost-effective modeling approaches. It is flexible and can be extrapolated to other modeling objectives.

description: Semiclassical transformation theory implies an integral representation for stationary-state wave functions $ψ_m(q)$ in terms of angle-action variables ($θ,J$). It is a particular solution of Schrödinger's time-independent equation when terms of order $\hbar^2$ and higher are omitted, but the pre-exponential factor $A(q,θ)$ in the integrand of this integral representation does not possess the correct dependence on $q$. The origin of the problem is identified: the standard unitarity condition invoked in semiclassical transformation theory does not fix adequately in $A(q,θ)$ a factor which is a function of the action $J$ written in terms of $q$ and $θ$. A prescription for an improved choice of this factor, based on succesfully reproducing the leading behaviour of wave functions in the vicinity of potential minima, is outlined. Exact evaluation of the modified integral representation via the Residue Theorem is possible. It yields wave functions which are not, in general, orthogonal. However, closed-form results obtained after Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization bear a striking resemblance to the exact analytical expressions for the stationary-state wave functions of the various potential models considered (namely, a Pöschl-Teller oscillator and the Morse oscillator).

description: We study the expected properties and statistics of giant arcs produced by galaxy clusters in a LambdaCDM universe and investigate how the characteristics of CDM clusters determine the properties of the arcs they generate. Due to the triaxiality and substructure of CDM halos, the giant arc cross section for individual clusters varies by more than an order of magnitude as a function of viewing angle. In addition, the shallow density cusps and triaxiality of CDM clusters cause systematic alignments of giant arcs which should be testable with larger samples from forthcoming lensing surveys. We compute the predicted statistics of giant arcs for the LambdaCDM model and compare to results from previous surveys. The predicted arc statistics are in excellent agreement with the numbers of giant arcs observed around low redshift (0.2 < z < 0.6) clusters from the EMSS sample, however there are hints of a possible excess of arcs observed around high redshift z > 0.6 clusters. This excess, if real, appears to be due to the presence of highly massive or concentrated clusters at high redshifts.

title: Experiencing Academic Staff Development through TPACK
title: A Phenomenographic Study.

description: The Technology, Pedagogy and Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework has
 predominantly been used to inform the development of pre-service teachers
 in the integrated use of technology in their teaching. This thesis seeks
 to extend the use of TPACK and as such examines the experiences of
 academic staff, at a single higher educational institution in the United
 Kingdom, in using TPACK as a framework for their professional development.
 This research adds to existing TPACK related research through
 understanding the extent to which the framework might be used to inform a
 more holistic approach to digital skills development of academic staff.

 Using phenomenography as the research methodology, data is collected
 through semi-structured interviews, analysed and presented through the
 conceptions and resulting outcome spaces to show the variations by which
 the participants experience the use of TPACK in the context of their
 professional development. The findings show that participants experience
 their professional development in a hierarchical manner, as presented
 through the outcome spaces. The types of development experienced range
 from informal conversational development through to much more formal
 external academic research conferences, all of which contribute to an
 individual’s complex development requirements. The range of development
 activities were identified to have a varying level of reach or impact,
 from development that is a ‘requirement’ which has limited reach beyond
 the individual, to development which impacts curriculum and students over
 many years. Additionally, the way in which participants experience TPACK
 as a framework is equally as varied, from those who experience it as
 single knowledge forms through to a more complex inter-connected knowledge
 forms with contextual relationships.

 These findings help educational developers and academics understand more
 clearly the range of development experiences required to support holistic
 professional development, as well as providing insights into the various
 complex ways in which individual academic staff will experience the same
 framework. Additionally, it was possible to determine the extent to which
 the TPACK framework is effective for academic development units in
 assisting them to identify development needs and provide appropriate
 development opportunities, with a more integrated approach to digital
 skills development that uses TPACK as a basis to provide a more holistic
 model of professional development for academic staff.

description: Os estudos que têm aplicado o modelo de Nerlove de oferta de produtos agrícolas, tanto no Brasil como em outros países, não têm dado a devida atenção à sua especificação econométrica. Assim, afirma-se constantemente que os coeficientes de expectativa adaptada e de ajustamento parcial não podem ser identificados devido à maneira simétrica que estes parâmetros entram na equação em forma reduzida do modelo. Esta asserção só é correta quando a especificação econométrica corresponde a uma hipótese bastante peculiar da componente aleatória. Esta hipótese particular não deve ser imposta, a priori, como uma hipótese mantida, mas, sim, submetida ao veredito dos dados. O objetivo deste trabalho consiste em apresentar uma discussão do problema da especificação econométrica do modelo de Nerlove de oferta de produtos agrícolas, bem como ilustrar essa discussão com resultados de estimativas de algumas equações, para produtos selecionados, usando-se dados para o Brasil como um todo.

description: Quantum phase transition from the Néel to the dimer states in an antiferromagnetic(AF) Heisenberg model on square lattice is studied. We introduce a control parameter $α$ for the exchange coupling which connects the Néel ($α=0$) and the dimer ($α=1$) states. We employ the $CP^1$ (the Schwinger boson) representation of the $s={1\over 2}$ spin operator and integrate out the half of the $CP^1$ variables at odd sites and we obtain a $CP^1$ nonlinear $σ$ model. The effective coupling constant is a function of $α$ and at $α=0$ the $CP^1$ model is in the ordered phase which corresponds to the Néel state of the AF Heisenberg model. A phase transition to the dimer state occurs at a certain critical value of $α_C$ as $α$ increases. In the Néel state, the dynamical composite U(1) gauge field in the $CP^1$ model is in a Higgs phase and low-energy excitations are gapless spin wave. In the dimer phase, a confinement phase of the gauge theory is realized and low-energy excitations are $s=1$ magnons. For the critical point, we argue that a deconfinement phase, which is similar to the Coulomb phase in 3 spatial dimensions, is realized and $s={1\over 2}$ spinons appear as low-energy excitations.

description: For a given finite index inclusion of conformal nets $\mathcal{B}\subset \mathcal{A}$ and a group $G < \mathrm{Aut}(\mathcal{A}, \mathcal{B})$, we consider the induction and the restriction procedures for $G$-twisted representations. We define two induction procedures for $G$-twisted representations, which generalize the $α^{\pm}$-induction for DHR endomorphisms. One is defined with the opposite braiding on the category of $G$-twisted representations as in $α^-$-induction. The other is also defined with the braiding, but additionally with the $G$-equivariant structure on the Q-system associated with $\mathcal{B}\subset \mathcal{A}$ and the action of $G$. We derive some properties and formulas for these induced endomorphisms in a similar way to the case of ordinary $α$-induction. We also show the version of $ασ$-reciprocity formula for our setting.

description: To explore the relation between network structure and function, we studied the computational performance of Hopfield-type attractor neural nets with regular lattice, random, small-world and scale-free topologies. The random net is the most efficient for storage and retrieval of patterns by the entire network. However, in the scale-free case retrieval errors are not distributed uniformly: the portion of a pattern encoded by the subset of highly connected nodes is more robust and efficiently recognized than the rest of the pattern. The scale-free network thus achieves a very strong partial recognition. Implications for brain function and social dynamics are suggestive.

description: We present measurements on ultra clean single crystals of the bilayered ruthenate metal Sr3Ru2O7, which has a magnetic-field-tuned quantum critical point. Quantum oscillations of differing frequencies can be seen in the resistivity both below and above its metamagnetic transition. This frequency shift corresponds to a small change in the Fermi surface volume that is qualitatively consistent with the small moment change in the magnetisation across the metamagnetic transition. Very near the metamagnetic field, unusual behaviour is seen. There is a strong enhancement of the resistivity in a narrow field window, with a minimum in the resistivity as a function of temperature below 1 K that becomes more pronounced as the disorder level decreases. The region of anomalous behaviour is bounded at low temperatures by two first-order phase transitions. The implications of the results are discussed. PACS: 68.35.Rh, 71.27.+a, 72.15.-v, 74.70.Pq

This reduction, however, encouraged irrigation expansion, which may rebound agricultural water demands. This paradox requires an understanding of human adaptation to drought by mapping individual farmers’ water conservation decisions to the dynamics of the basin-wide water demand. We develop an agent-based agricultural water demand (ABAD) model, simulating farmers’ behavior in adopting new on-farm irrigation systems and/or changing crop patterns in response to drought conditions in the BRB. ABAD demonstrates how (1) farmers’ attitude towards profits, risk-aversion, environmental protection, social interaction, and irrigation expansion explains the dynamics of the water demand and (2) the conservation program may paradoxically lead to the rebound phenomenon. ABAD, subject to its conceptualization limitations, can be used for exploration and scenario analysis of future agricultural water demand in response to water conservation programs in the BRB.

description: Starting from the $\mathcal{N}=2$ SYM$_{4}$ quiver theory living on wrapped $% N_{i}D5$ branes around $S_{i}^{2}$ spheres of deformed ADE fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds (CY3) and considering deformations using \textit{% massive} vector multiplets, we explicitly build a new class of $\mathcal{N}% =1 $ quiver gauge theories. In these models, the quiver gauge group $% \prod_{i}U(N_{i}) $ is spontaneously broken down to $% \prod_{i}SU(N_{i}) $ and Kahler deformations are shown to be given by the real part of the integral $(2,1) $ form of CY3. We also give the superfield correspondence between the $\mathcal{N}=1$ quiver gauge models derived here and those constructed in hep-th/0108120 using complex deformations. Others aspects of these two dual $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric field theories are discussed.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The ATLAS hadronic Tile Calorimeter will undergo major upgrades to the on- and off-detector electronics in preparation for the High Luminosity program of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) in 2026, so that the system can cope with the HL-LHC increased radiation levels and out-of-time pileup. The on-detector electronics of the upgraded system will continuously digitize and transmit all photo-multiplier signals to the off-detector systems at a 40 MHz rate. The off-detector electronics will store the data in pipeline buffers, produce digital hadronic tower sums for the ATLAS Level-0 trigger system, and read out selected events. The modular on-detector electronics feature radiation-tolerant commercial off-the-shelf components and redundant design to minimize single points of failure. The timing, control and communication interface with the off-detector electronics is implemented with modern Field Programmable Gate Arrays and high speed fibre optic links running up to 9.6 Gbps.

description: Metric localization plays a critical role in vision-based navigation. For overcoming the degradation of matching photometry under appearance changes, recent research resorted to introducing geometry constraints of the prior scene structure. In this paper, we present a metric localization method for the monocular camera, using the Signed Distance Field (SDF) as a global map representation. Leveraging the volumetric distance information from SDFs, we aim to relax the assumption of an accurate structure from the local Bundle Adjustment (BA) in previous methods. By tightly coupling the distance factor with temporal visual constraints, our system corrects the odometry drift and jointly optimizes global camera poses with the local structure. We validate the proposed approach on both indoor and outdoor public datasets. Compared to the state-of-the-art methods, it achieves a comparable performance with a minimal sensor configuration.

Users' Judgments of Managers and Auditors : The impact of accounting treatment and reconciliation
Creators: name: Krische, Susan D.

name: Smith, Steven D.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: We examine how supplemental accounting disclosures affect users’ judgments about management credibility and, in turn, their expectations of the auditor. In a lease obligation setting, our experiment separates the effects of understanding the financial impact of accounting treatment (by manipulating the presence of a supplemental reconciliation relative to control conditions) from inferences made based on management’s choice of accounting disclosures (by manipulating the source of the reconciliation). Users who receive a reconciliation (of disclosed lease obligations to capitalization) report lower perceptions of management credibility, higher investment risk, and higher audit expectations when the reconciliation is provided by a source other than management. Results demonstrate the effects of the presence and source of reconciliation on investment risk and management credibility judgments, extending research on the influence of managerial reporting discretion to audit expectations, with implications for research on the expectation gap and on auditor business and litigation risk. These findings suggest boundary conditions in which audit expectations are higher (and, thus, auditors’ business and litigation risk may also be higher) for disclosed information than for recognized information.

description: Guest edited by Basia Sliwinska and Afonso Dias Ramos, this re-launch issue of Revista de História da Arte focuses on the topic of re-turns: on future art histories. Contributors to the issue have sought to mobilise art history to address different chronologies and spatial organisations in order to repair a multiplicity of entangled pasts. This re-launch issue marks an important moment for the journal but also for its growing community of contributors and readers, not only in the context of the increasing urgency of the arts and humanities in contemporary life, but also amid the surging development of interdisciplinary and transnational research which often bears artistic practice at its core as a vital element for transformation, be it cultural, social, environmental, economic or otherwise. With this issue we therefore celebrate a diversity of approaches that take re-turn as a particular point of reflection.
