description: The Plane of our Galaxy is regularly observed by the INTEGRAL satellite by means of scheduled scans. We present here results from the IBIS/ISGRI instrument using data from the first two Galactic Plane Scans performed at the end of the Performance Verification phase, while INTEGRAL was pointed towards the Cygnus region. Considering the predicted IBIS sensitivity, we expected three persistent sources to be detectable: Cyg X--1, Cyg X--3, Cyg X--2, in order of decreasing intensity in the hard-X energy range (>15 keV). In addition to these sources, our analysis revealed two more transient sources, confirming the unprecedented IBIS sensitivity. For each exposure (~2200 s) of the two scans, we report on detected source fluxes, variabilities and localisation accuracies.

description: Motivated by the concerns of cooperation security, this work examines selected principles of state-of-the-art reputation systems for multihop adhoc networks and their impact upon optimal strategies for rational nodes. An analytic framework is proposed and used for identification of effective cooperation-enforcement schemes. It is pointed out that an optimum rather than high reputation can be expected to be sought by rational nodes.

description: While prior studies have suggested that legal strategies offer promising tools for social accountability, the existing literature has not yet identified the underlying mechanisms that link legal strategies to accountability improvements. In this theory-building paper, we argue that there are four mechanisms by which legal strategies can enhance accountability. First, the courts can help those affected by policy failures to overcome the collective action problem. Second, courts can provide civil society with access to information about rights violations, malfeasance, and poor policy performance. Third, legal strategies can set in motion court-backed reforms that redress immediate rights violations and strengthen state capacity for more accountable governance. Fourth, court recognition can increase the symbolic and discursive resources of claimants, making their demands for accountability more effective. We illustrate these mechanisms through a comparative analysis of two policy arenas in Colombia, environment and healthcare – two areas in which civil society engagement with the judiciary opened up new routes for social accountability. By bridging the previously disconnected literatures on legal mobilisation and social accountability, this paper creates an analytical framework to understand the menu of options that citizens face about where and how to seek accountability from the state.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.

description: Despite being mandatory according to Indonesian law, Genetically Modified (GM) food is most of the time not labelled when it is exposed to consumers. The lack of efficient official controls due to a lack of resources and misaligned exercise of discretion is often determined as a major reason. At the international level, the Codex Standard on GM food labelling is not yet available. The endless debate between the US and the EU on how to regulate the GMO is one of the major causes of the deadlock negotiation on the issue of GM food labelling at the Codex level. Nevertheless, the central role of the US in recent mega Free Trade Agreements (FTA): TPP and TTIP will reshape the GM food labelling regulation globally. In that sense, enforcement of GM food labelling regulation hence requires new pathways. The effectiveness of enforcement of GM food labelling relies on the effective interplay of the definition, scope, desired labelling requirements, and voluntary pathway. We hence suggest to reshaping the GM food labelling regulation in light of such a holistic approach based on the desired Appropriate Level of Protection (ALOP) in the framework of international laws, taking into account a specific, developing-country-oriented application of the Food Safety Objective (FSO).

We generalize analytic superfield and gauge parameter to the nonanticommutative theory so that gauge transformations act on the component fields in a canonical form (Seiberg-Witten map). This superfield, upon a field redefinition transforms under supersymmetry in a standard way.

description: A low-cost compound super-resolution lens, consisting of a Plano-Convex lens and a Microsphere lens (PCM), was proposed and demonstrated for subwavelength direct laser scanning writing application. The PCM lens can achieve a far-field super-resolution of ~λ/3.5 in air (~6 um away from lens) which surpasses resolution limit of existing commercial objective lenses and is the first of its kind. Arbitrary nano-patterns can now be directly fabricated on various substrates in a simpleand low-cost manner using developed PCM lens. The lens can also be used for other applications including nano-imaging and sensing as well in a confocal configuration. This work may lead to the development of next-generation low-cost direct laser nanofabrication machine and superresolution imaging nanoscope.

Figs 10, 11
Diagnosis.
Xenasma guttulata differs from X. pruinosum by its membranaceous basidiomata with a white to cream hymenial surface and larger basidiospores (6–7 × 3–4 µm vs. 7–9 × 5.5–7.5 µm).
Holotype.
China • Yunnan Province, Zhaotong, Wumengshan National Nature Reserve, GPS coordinates 27°29'N, 103°55'E, evel. 1900 m asl., on a fallen angiosperm branch, leg. C. L. Zhao, 29 August 2023, CLZhao 32193 (SWFC).
Etymology.
Guttulata (Lat.) refers to the basidiospores with guttules in the holotype.
Basidiomata.
Basidiomes annual, resupinate, closely adnate, without odor or taste when fresh, up to 2.5 cm long, 1.5 cm wide, and 100 µm thick. Hymenial surface smooth, membranaceous, white (60) to cream (4 A 2 / 3) when dry; sterile margin indistinct.
Hyphal structure.
Monomitic, generative hyphae with clamp connections, thin-walled, occasionally branched, interwoven, with dense crystal, 3.3–3.5 µm diam, IKI –, CB –; tissues unchanged in KOH. Cystidia abundant, cystidia tubular with obtuse apex, 75–91.5 × 4–8.5 µm, with slightly thick walls in the basal part that appears frequently collapsed, often with an apical amorphous globule. Cystidioles absent. Basidia clavate to subcylindrical, thin-walled, with two sterigmata and a basal clamp connection, 18.5–24 × 7.5–11 µm; basidioles in shape similar to basidia, but slightly smaller.

description: Mathematical models of diffusive transport underpin our understanding of chemical, biochemical and biological transport phenomena. Analysis of such models often focusses on relatively simple geometries and deals with diffusion through highly idealised homogeneous media. In contrast, practical applications of diffusive transport theory inevitably involve dealing with more complicated geometries as well as dealing with heterogeneous media. One of the most fundamental properties of diffusive transport is the concept of mean particle lifetime or mean exit time, which are particular applications of the concept of first passage time, and provide the mean time required for a diffusing particle to reach an absorbing boundary. Most formal analysis of mean particle lifetime applies to relatively simple geometries, often with homogeneous (spatially-invariant) material properties. In this work, we present a general framework that provides exact mathematical insight into the mean particle lifetime, and higher moments of particle lifetime, for point particles diffusing in heterogeneous discs and spheres with radial symmetry. Our analysis applies to geometries with an arbitrary number and arrangement of distinct layers, where transport in each layer is characterised by a distinct diffusivity. We obtain exact closed-form expressions for the mean particle lifetime for a diffusing particle released at an arbitrary location and we generalise these results to give exact, closed-form expressions for any higher-order moment of particle lifetime for a range of different boundary conditions. Finally, using these results we construct new homogenization formulae that provide an accurate simplified description of diffusion through heterogeneous discs and spheres.

description: Using the pseudospin representation and the SU(2) phase operators we introduce a complex parameter to characterize both infinite and finite superconducting systems. While in the bulk limit the parameter becomes identical to the conventional order parameter, in the nanoscopic limit its modulus reduces to the number parity effect parameter and its phase takes discrete values. We evaluate the Josephson coupling energy and show that in bulk superconductor it reproduces the conventional expression and in the nanoscopic limit it leads to quantized Josephson effect. Finally, we study the phase flow or dual Josephson effect in a superconductor with fixed number of electrons.

description: We use a mixed-methods approach to open the ‘black box’ of a combined financial literacy and parenting intervention (‘Parenting for Lifelong Health’) to elucidate the key mechanisms through which changes in financial behaviour are realised. Drawing on qualitative data from 16 focus groups and 42 in-depth interviews, we find evidence for three pathways of change. Higher financial skills and, linked to this, higher financial confidence, a more optimistic future outlook and emotional support provided by peers and family members are described as key facilitators of improved financial behaviour. These mechanisms are cross validated in subsequent quantitative analyses based on standardised interviews from a randomised controlled trial with 552 households. A mediation analysis indicates that the programme’s effect on financial behaviour is significantly mediated by financial skills and self-efficacy (24% of total effect) and optimism (22% of total effect). We further show that the psychological factors are significantly reinforced by increased levels of social support in the family and wider community. Mediating variables remain robust in sensitivity analyses and are confirmed as significant paths when entered simultaneously into a structural equation path model. Our findings highlight possible target points for financial literacy interventions and motivate the inclusion of psychosocial programme components.

description: Neighboring economies are likely to influence one another. The concentration of farming activities referred to as an agro-cluster generates opportunities for income and employment in a given region and its surrounding area. We analyze the link between poverty rates and agro-clusters by accounting for spatial perspective. To quantify agro-clusters, we employ one input and one output oriented measures. The analysis applies six spatial econometric specifications. We focus on the 545 sub-districts of West Java, where about 10% of the population live in poverty. The concentration of agricultural employment significantly reduces poverty in a sub-district as well as in neighboring regions. Specialization in agricultural output is also associated with lower poverty rates. These findings imply that policy interventions may be applied in a spatially selective manner because they will generate spillover effects on poverty reduction also in surrounding areas.

description: Population growth and urbanization contribute to habitat loss and housing unaffordability in the urban area. Habitat loss contributes to the decline of biodiversity, which can negatively affect the performance of ecosystems, as well as have a negative influence on ecosystem services. Vancouver’s population has increased by 48% over the past 50 years, and it is still expected to grow. The accelerating rate of population growth contributes to the fact that Vancouver tops the latest list of the cities with the least affordable housing markets in North America. The future of Vancouver is intense and dense. For these reasons, finding a balance between urbanization and habitat loss while accommodating the population growth is a major issue for the City of Vancouver. This thesis will try to replan the Langara Golf Course into a biophilic community with multiple types of housing and habitat. This thesis will use avian habitat as a major reference for habitat restoration, as birds are good indicators of general biodiversity and ecosystem integrity. The proposed new biophilic community will maximize biodiversity in a dense urban neighborhood.

description: Greater transparency has been proposed as an antidote to mismanagement of natural resource revenues in resource-rich, developing countries. The dominant transparency narrative in policymaking attributes a key role to the public: once citizens gain information, they are predicted to use it to demand better resource governance. Whether the public receives the available information in the first place, however, has not been scrutinised in a large-N analysis. This article examines Ghanaians’ information sources and information-seeking behaviour using a unique survey with over 3500 respondents. Although Ghana has actively pursued transparency in its natural resource revenue management, most Ghanaians have poor access to understandable information as information is disseminated through channels that the intended receivers normally do not use. Non-elite citizens and those with limited English skills were least likely to have heard about natural resource revenue management, compared with elected duty bearers, traditional authorities, other opinion leaders, and those with an interest in the issue through working in mining or living near an extraction site. The results suggest that the conceptualisation of transparency may be too simplistic, and that the expectations linked to transparency in enhancing natural resource governance may not materialise through the mechanisms hypothesised in the literature.

description: Topological Weyl semimetals (WSMs) have attracted widespread interests due to the chiral Weyl fermions and surface Fermi arcs that enable unique optical and transport phenomena. In this work, we present angle-resolved Raman spectroscopy of TaP, a prototypical noncentrosymmetric WSM, for five excitation wavelengths ranging from 364 to 785 nm. The Raman active modes, $A_1$, $B_1^1$, and $B_1^2$ modes, exhibit two main unique features beyond the conventional Raman theory. First, the relative intensities of Raman active modes change as a function of the excitation wavelength. Second, angle-resolved polarized Raman spectra show systematic deviation from the Raman tensor theory. In particular, the $B_1^1$ mode is absent for 633 nm excitation, whereas the $B_1^2$ mode shows an unusual two-fold symmetry instead of a four-fold symmetry for 488, 532, and 633 nm excitations. These unconventional phenomena are attributed to the interference effect in the Raman process owing to the existence of multiple carrier pockets with almost the same energy but different symmetries.

description: Agro-clusters would allow farmers to acquire positive and negative externalities. On one hand, smallholder farmers in spatial proximity are likely to benefit from this concentration; on the other hand, they incur high competitive pressure from other neighboring farmers. We examine the link between this pressure and agro-clusters by controlling for farmers’ attitudes. We also assess the relationship between economic pressure and farmer’s profit by accounting for the varying of agro-cluster density. We carry out interview to 1,151 farmer respondents in West Java, Indonesia. Competitive pressure is associated with reduced agro-cluster density. The results also reveal that an increase in competitive pressure corresponds to the higher willingness of farmers to share their knowledge, yet the increased dependency degree on other farmers and reduced decision power. They also receive unethical conduct from other farmers as the density of agro-clusters rises. Finally, we observe from the results that adjacent farmers are likely to earn more profit if they feel that the pressure from other farmers is declining. The findings imply that enabling policies toward strengthening farmer cooperation could be an option to reduce competitive pressure on smallholder farmers.

We explore such advantages for smallholder farmers in West Java of Indonesia by accounting for their behaviors toward horizontal cooperation. The study distinguishes farmers from two major groups, namely the group of farmers who will and neglect to cooperate and the group of cooperating and non-cooperating farmers. These groups allow us to investigate potential factors that enable farmers to build such cooperation and to examine the effects of such cooperation on farmers’ income level. We carry out a double hurdle model to analyze these objectives and utilize the Heckman two-step model to attain more robust result. Our analysis is based on survey data from about 1,151 respondents. The analysis reveals a positive association between agricultural income and participation in cooperation. The attitudes of farmers toward cooperation are highly related to gender, the number of household members and asset values. Furthermore, the age of farmers, the number of working hours and cultivated crops and frequency of face-to-face meetings are associated with increased likelihoods of establishing farmer cooperation. Agro-clusters allow smallholders to obtain benefits from cooperation alongside decreased costs and risks due to such cooperative productions. The findings imply that strengthening the ability of farmers to coordinate in agricultural production and marketing through vibrant farmer organizations could be a policy option.

description: The novel ternary compound CeCo$_9$Si$_4$ has been studied by means of specific heat, magnetisation, and transport measurements. Single crystal X-ray Rietveld refinements reveal a fully ordered distribution of Ce, Co and Si atoms with the tetragonal space group I4/mcm isostructural with other RCo9Si4. The smaller lattice constants of CeCo9Si4 in comparison with the trend established by other RCo9Si4 is indicative for intermediate valence of cerium. While RCo9Si4 with R= Pr, .. Tb, and Y show ferromagnetism and LaCo9Si4 is nearly ferromagnetic, CeCo9Si4 remains paramagnetic even in external fields as large as 40 T, though its electronic specific heat coefficient (g~190 mJ/molK^2) is of similar magnitude as that of metamagnetic LaCo9Si4 and weakly ferromagnetic YCo9Si4.

description: We discuss the relation between the Polyakov loop and the chiral order parameter at finite temperature by using the Gocksch-Ogilvie model with fundamental or adjoint quarks. The model is based on the double expansion of strong coupling and large dimensionality on the lattice. In an analytic way with the mean field approximation employed, we show that the confined phase must be accompanied by the spontaneous breaking of the chiral symmetry for both fundamental and adjoint quarks. Then we proceed to numerical analysis to look into the coupled dynamics of the Polyakov loop and the chiral order parameter. In the case of fundamental quarks, the pseudo-critical temperature inferred from the Polyakov loop behavior turns out to coincide with the pseudo-critical temperature of the chiral phase transition. We discuss the physical implication of the coincidence of the pseudo-critical temperatures in two extreme cases; one is the deconfinement dominance and the other is the chiral dominance. As for adjoint quarks, the deconfinement transition of first order persists and the chiral phase transition occurs distinctly at higher temperature than the deconfinement transition does. The present model study gives us a plausible picture to understand the results from the lattice QCD and aQCD simulations.

description: Using the panel survey for the Kagera region of Tanzania, we select children who were seven to 15 years old in the 1990s and follow up with them in the first decade of the 2000s to study the consequences of child labour on their status in employment in adulthood. We estimate fixed effects linear probability models. We find that child labour is associated with vulnerable employment and that this result is driven by girls. Age plays a crucial role in the determination of the sign of the child labour effect. On average, for children younger than 10 child labour has only negative effects. The negative effects of domestic chores are quite large: the probability of vulnerable employment increases considerably for girls under 13, up to 20 percentage points for 10-year-olds. Child labour on the household farm has even more adverse effects. Overall, these findings highlight the important role of child labour in the determination of the gender gap in employment.

description: Suppose $C$ is an isogeny class of abelian varieties over a finite field $k$. In this paper we give a partial answer to the question of which finite group schemes over $k$ occur as kernels of polarizations of varieties in $C$. We show that there is an element $I_C$ of a finite two-torsion group that determines which Jordan-Hölder isomorphism classes of finite commutative group schemes over $k$ contain kernels of polarizations. We indicate how the two-torsion group can be computed from the characteristic polynomial of the Frobenius endomorphism of the varieties in $C$, and we give some relatively weak sufficient conditions for the element $I_C$ to be zero. Using these conditions, we show that every isogeny class of simple odd-dimensional abelian varieties over a finite field contains a principally polarized variety. As a step in the proofs of these theorems, we prove that if $K$ is a CM-field and $A$ is a central simple $K$-algebra with an involution of the second kind, then every totally positive real element of $K$ is the reduced norm of a positive symmetric element of $A$.

description: This paper explores household variation in land tenure security and drought shocks across villages to investigate the extent to which land tenure systems matter in households’ capacity to cope with adverse impacts of weather shocks for agricultural dependent households in rural Malawi. Our findings reveal that land tenure security cushions the effects of drought regimes on food security. Further, we establish access to credit facilities for farm investment purposes as the underlying channel that mediates the impact of drought shocks on food insecurity. The results of this study reinforce the growing consensus that property rights through land tenure security are associated with improved agricultural productivity and consequently household food security.

description: For the first time, NakhonSawan rice farmers changed their farm production from rice to maize during the2015 drought. This development affected also many businesses along the rice supply chain, including the rice combine harvester service which was heavily affected from the reduction of rice farming areas. Quick to respond, rice combine harvester entrepreneurs in NakornSawan began switching to harvester headers for maize, to be in line with the suddenly growing demand for maize harvest service in the area. This phenomenon led to a research question that whether to adapt or not adapt to the change would be more profitable for these entrepreneurs. This paper aims to first examine the principle of the rice combine harvester service. Then it attempts to analyze three different scenarios using cost-benefit analysis to determine the optimal choice for the entrepreneurs during drought. The first scenario is under the normal condition where drought is not a factor. The second scenario takes drought into account but the entrepreneurs choose not to adapt. The final scenario is where entrepreneurs choose to adapt with farmers during drought. Data are analyzed assuming the business’s lifetime is 10 years and each entrepreneur uses just one rice combine harvester. Cost-benefit analysis is then utilized to obtain net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), and benefit-cost ratio (B/C ratio). Results show that all three scenarios are profitable, with the third scenario being the most worthwhile in all three indicators.

description: The spontaneous clustering of a vibrofluidized granular gas is employed to generate directed transport in two different compartmentalized systems: a "granular fountain" in which the transport takes the form of convection rolls, and a "granular ratchet" with a spontaneous particle current perpendicular to the direction of energy input. In both instances, transport is not due to any system-intrinsic anisotropy, but arises as a spontaneous collective symmetry breaking effect of many interacting granular particles. The experimental and numerical results are quantitatively accounted for within a flux model.
