description: The paper is based on the fact that external costs occur in the production of copper, that they are the result of degradation and damage to the environment and, therefore, have become a real necessity. Ecological external effects influence environmental media (air, water, soil) that have characteristics of public goods. All costs incurred due to environmental pollution are not included in the price of copper. From the point of view of economic prospects, general solution for external costs is their internalization. The principle of internalisation of external costs includes the addition of external costs to the cost of individual pollutants. Through internalization, external negative effects of pollutants are converted into internal effects. Bearing in mind these facts, the aim of this paper is to demonstrate the interconnection between economic growth and environmental protection which together contribute to quality economic development.

Within the framework of the UMNIK program, a device for measuring the dynamically changing thermophysical characteristics of various substances and materials called "Mode-1" is being created. The device is based on a non-stationary heating method, namely a pulsed irregular thermal regime or a "hot thread" method. The main advantage of the method is the ability to carry out measurements that are not distorted by radiation transfer, as well as the minimum time for carrying out the experiment and the size of the measuring cell without violating its integrity (in vivo). The end result of R&D will be the instrument itself, sensors and software a complex to it, which will allow building graphs of temperature dependences on time, thermal conductivity on temperature, thermal activity on temperature, heat fluxes on time, thermal resistance on temperature, volumetric heat capacity on temperature (at unchanging body density), kinematic (dynamic) viscosity of liquids from temperature, and it is also possible to measure the molecular weight of polymer and polymerizing liquids. In addition, it will be possible to determine the temperatures of homogeneous nucleation of organic liquids in a metastable state. The main difference between the "Mode-1" device being created from the known installations is that it is a device with a declared hardware error of 1% and a lower percentage in terms of reproducibility of results, capable of measuring 5 channels simultaneously. The device being created is also distinguished by the fact that it can carry out measurements at a dynamically changing temperature of the investigated substance, and the substance can be both solids and liquids, gases, biomaterials, plastic materials, magnetic and metastable liquids, and others, except for powdery and granular conductors. The complex of scientific problems has been expanded by such an important innovation as the study of thermophysical characteristics in alternating and constant electric and / or magnetic fields, as well as the influence of ionizing radiation. The "Mode-1" device is designed for different time intervals of the pulse duration. The range of measured temperatures depends on the sensors and is from -270 ° C to + 1600 ° C, pressure from 0.1 to 150 atm, temperature change rate up to 200 ° / min. Documents are being prepared for accreditation in Rosstandart, FSUE "VNIIMS" and FGANU CITiS, as well as a patent application (invention).

description: This paper analyses the relationship between a husband’s job loss and marital stability, focusing on involuntary employment terminations due to plant closures or dismissals. Using discrete survival analysis techniques on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, we find plant closures and dismissals to be associated with a 54 and 74% higher risk of marital dissolution respectively, though the strength of association varies significantly by how long ago the change in employment status occurred. We extend the previous literature by considering heterogeneity in the relationship depending on whether new employment was found. Our analysis shows that the dissolution risk remains elevated even in couples where the husband has taken up a new position. Surprisingly, the relative risk of dissolution following the first period in a new job after a job loss is about the same as the relative risk of dissolution following the first period without employment. The relationship between finding a new job and marital dissolution appears to be mediated by changes in working hours as well as wages. In two extensions, we also consider the role of the wife’s employment status in moderating the relationship and show that a wife’s job loss is not associated with a similar increase in the probability of divorce as a husband’s.
From Awareness to Action: Using Community Service to Explore Secondary Science Students' Functional Environmental Scientific Literacy
Creators: name: , Emily Little

description:
As the rate of environmental degradation continues to rise, and the consequences of inaction worsen, achieving community-wide functional environmental scientific literacy (FESL) is paramount. It is more important than ever to prepare students to take an active part in addressing socioscientific issues (SSI) related to environmental sustainability. Community service provides an appropriate context for students to apply their understanding of science and science content as well as learn how to take action on environmental issues that they care about (Meuers, 2023; Sumarmi et al., 2022). Research has shown that environmental identity (EI) influences engagement with SSI, and informed decision making on SSI requires adequate understanding of nature of science (NOS). However, this study is the first to explore all three in one context. Understanding how students address SSI affecting their community is the first step in using service projects as an intervention strategy to improve FESL for all learners. Participants included 18 individuals previously enrolled in an environmental education course during the 2021-2022 academic school year at a public high school in the southeastern United States. During the course, students received explicit and reflective, integrated, and non-integrated NOS instruction centered around socioscientific issues. Participants ranged in age from 18-20 years old and represented a diverse range of races/ethnicities and socioeconomic status. Data sources included community service portfolios, VNOS and EI surveys, and interviews. Thematic analysis revealed participants EI influenced the SSI they addressed, the task they conducted, as well as the location and/or community members their service was designed to assist. Participants held informed views of NOS at the time they conducted their service, and they applied their holistic understanding of NOS in their decision-making throughout each step of the process. In reflecting on their experience, participants noted they were better able to recognize themselves and/or be recognized as agents of change within their community, suggesting service projects can also promote identity development. While addressing SSI, the decisions participants made reflected their EI and their understanding of NOS. Thus, it is important to account for all three components when planning service-learning opportunities for secondary science students.

description: The budget of European Union is financial mirror of the policies that Union leads in terms of relative importance as well as dynamics of priorities. The evolution of both the revenue and expenditure side of the budget in the course of time reflects the way in which the Union itself has changed. In the seventies the European Community budget consisted almost entirely of agricultural spending. Today the EU budget covers a very wide range of richly detailed policies in which the agricultural policy is still very highly ranked, but not any more the only priority. The aim of this paper is to analyse fiscal support allocated throughout the EU budget to this delicate paneuropean policy both comparatively, in comparison to other major areas of spending in the budget of the current fiscal year and retrospectively, in the pace of time.

Implications of the B20 Crystal Structure for the Magneto-electronic Structure of MnSi

description: Due to increased interest in the unusual magnetic and transport behavior of MnSi and its possible relation to its crystal structure (B20) which has unusual coordination and lacks inversion symmetry, we provide a detailed analysis of the electronic and magnetic structure of MnSi. The non-symmorphic P2_13 spacegroup leads to unusual fourfold degenerate states at the zone corner R point, as well as ``sticking'' of pairs of bands throughout the entire Brillouin zone surface. The resulting Fermi surface acquires unusual features as a result of the band sticking. For the ferromagnetic system (neglecting the long wavelength spin spiral) with the observed moment of 0.4 μ_B/Mn, one of the fourfold levels at R in the minority bands falls at the Fermi energy (E_F), and a threefold majority level at k=0 also falls at E_F. The band sticking and presence of bands with vanishing velocity at E_F imply an unusually large phase space for long wavelength, low energy interband transitions that will be important for understanding the unusual resistivity and far infrared optical behavior.

description: To date, more than 100 giant Jupiter-like planets have been discovered in Doppler surveys of solar-type stars. In this paper, we perform simulations to investigate three systems: GJ 876, HD 82943 and 55 Cnc. The former two systems both have a pair of planets in the 2:1 Mean Motion Resonance (MMR), while the inner two companions of the later is close to 3:1 MMR. By integrating hundreds of the planetary orbits of three systems for million years, we find that for GJ 876 and HD 82943, the critical argument $λ_{1} - 2λ_{2} + \varpi_{1}$ and $λ_{1} - 2λ_{2} + \varpi_{2}$ librate about $0^{\circ}$ or $180^{\circ}$, indicating 2:1 MMR can play an important role in stabilizing the motion of the planets so that they are protected from frequent close encounters. As for 55 Cnc, we further show the three resonant arguments for 3:1 MMR execute librations for millions of years respectively, which reveals the evidence of the resonance for this system. Additionally, we should emphasize another vital mechanism is the apsidal phase-locking between a couple of planets for a certain system. For GJ 876 and HD 82943, we discover the relative apsidal longitudes $\varpi_{1} - \varpi_{2}$ move about $0^{\circ}$ or $180^{\circ}$, respectively; but for 55 Cnc, we find that there exists an asymmetric apsidal libration between two inner planets. Finally, we made a brief discussion about the Habitable Zones in the exoplanetary systems.

Generalized Shortest Path-based Superpixels for Accurate Segmentation of Spherical Images

description: Most of existing superpixel methods are designed to segment standard planar images as pre-processing for computer vision pipelines. Nevertheless, the increasing number of applications based on wide angle capture devices, mainly generating 360° spherical images, have enforced the need for dedicated superpixel approaches. In this paper, we introduce a new superpixel method for spherical images called SphSPS (for Spherical Shortest Path-based Superpixels). Our approach respects the spherical geometry and generalizes the notion of shortest path between a pixel and a superpixel center on the 3D spherical acquisition space. We show that the feature information on such path can be efficiently integrated into our clustering framework and jointly improves the respect of object contours and the shape regularity. To relevantly evaluate this last aspect in the spherical space, we also generalize a planar global regularity metric. Finally, the proposed SphSPS method obtains significantly better performance than both planar and recent spherical superpixel approaches on the reference 360° spherical panorama segmentation dataset.

description: In February 2017, new legislation was passed to delimit and streamline the relationship between the State and the “rural drinking water committees”, updating the regulations for a program that has existed from 1960 and that currently provides water to more than 1.5 million people, around 8% of Chile’s population. This report is subtitled “What does the new law mean, what opportunities and what challenges does it bring to the cooperatives and committees” and accordingly it aims to explain in an accessible manner how the situation will change for these rural services under this new legal framework. It is important to mention that this report responds to the need for spreading the word identified by the president of the Federation that gathers many of these committees and cooperatives.

description: The crystal structures of the Sr1-xCaxRuO3 perovskites are investigated using both long range and local structural probes. High resolution synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction characterization at ambient temperature shows that the materials are orthorhombic to high precision, and we support previous work showing that Ca2+ substitution for Sr2+ primarily changes the tilting of rigid corner-sharing RuO6 octahedra at their shared oxygen vertices. X-ray pair distribution function analysis for SrRuO3, CaRuO3 and one intermediate composition show them to be locally monoclinic, and no long range or local phase transitions are observed between 80 and 300 K for materials with intermediate compositions. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy shows that the Sr/Ca distribution is random at the nanoscale. We plot magnetic characteristics such as the ferromagnetic Tc, Curie-Weiss theta, effective moment, and ambient temperature susceptibility vs. the octahedral tilt and unit cell volume.

description: Without proper water and sanitation services, children are prone to the contagion of waterborne diseases. When not sick, children and their caregivers have to allocate their leisure time in order to meet their water and sanitation needs. It is through these health and leisure time use changes that access to water and sanitation services impacts the educational attainment of children. To explore the impacts, this paper proposes a household utility maximization model in which access and sanitation services are determinants of the child's health. In turn, education depends on the health status of the child. Comparative statistics indicate that households consider the health gains to the market value of their leisure time, and the changes in the consumption of other goods. In order to sort out the endogeneity between provision of access to water and sanitation services, and educational attainment, this paper uses an instrumental approach based on the technical features of the water systems and, as a novelty, the number of rivers within the municipality territory. Estimates suggest that access to water and sanitation services has a positive and significant effect on schooling, when measured by the completed number of school years. These positive effects call for the expansion of the laggard sewerage systems in the country, both at home and at school, by using different technologies

description: The formation of copper oxide phases (Cu2O, CuO) on Cu3N thin films of variant growth conditions was studied by resonance Raman Spectroscopy using two different excitation sources (Ar+: 514.5 nm and Kr+: 647.1 nm). Cu3N layers were prepared on Si, fused Si2O (FS) and Soda Lime Glass (SLG) by Reactive Sputtering and CVD. A copper film was deposited on the substrate and then it was annealed at elevated temperatures between 300 and 800°C under NH3:O2 gas mixture. This material is a defect tolerant semiconductor with potential applications in the field of photovoltaics, energy storage and catalysis. Raman Spectroscopy is a known versatile, non-destructive tool for chemical analysis at the nanoscale. Vibrational properties were thoroughly studied in resonant and non-resonant conditions. In the condition that the excitation energy is close to the band gap energy of the semiconductor material in the sample, the spectrum consists of electronic transitions, leading to peak intensity enhancement. Experimental results exhibited that peaks at 165 and 650 cm-1 of copper nitride are strongly dependent on the laser energy. Cu(I) and Cu(II) oxides were also detected.

Τα λεπτά υμένια Cu3N αναπτύχθηκαν πάνω σε υποστρώματα πυριτίου (Si), τετηγμένης πυριτίας (FS) και υάλου με προσθήκη νατρασβέστου (SLG) μέσω των τεχνικών καθοδικού ψεκασμού χημικής αντίδρασης και χημικής εναπόθεσης ατμών. Μία λεπτή στρώση χαλκού εναποτίθεται στην επιφάνεια του υποστρώματος και στη συνέχεια αυτό θερμαίνεται σε υψηλές θερμοκρασίες από 300 έως 800°C υπό το αέριο μείγμα NH3:O2. Το υλικό αυτό είναι ημιαγωγός, με ατέλειες δομής που δεν εισάγουν καταστάσεις στο ενεργειακό χάσμα και πιθανές εφαρμογές σε φωτοβολταϊκά, την αποθήκευση ενέργειας και την κατάλυση. Η φασματοσκοπία Raman αποτελεί μία ευρέως γνωστή, ευέλικτη, μη καταστρεπτική τεχνική για τη χημική ανάλυση στη νανοκλίμακα. Οι δονητικές ιδιότητες μελετήθηκαν διεξοδικά υπό συνθήκες συντονισμού και μη-συντονισμού. Κατά την περίπτωση όπου η ενέργεια διέγερσης είναι κοντά στην τιμή του ενεργειακού χάσματος του ημιαγωγικού υλικού στο δείγμα, οι κορυφές Raman ενισχύονται σημαντικά υποβοηθούμενες από ηλεκτρονικές μεταπτώσεις. Τα πειραματικά αποτελέσματα έδειξαν ότι οι κορυφές του Cu3N στις θέσεις 165 και 650 cm-1 εξαρτώνται έντονα από την ενέργεια του LASER. Ανιχνεύθηκαν επίσης τα οξείδια Cu(I) και Cu(II), των οποίων η ύπαρξη ή/και συγκέντρωση στο δείγμα επηρεάζονται από τις συνθήκες ανάπτυξης.

description: With rapid urbanisation in many countries, the need for urban woodland as recreation environments and for other purposes is growing. Due to lack of resources it is important to identify the factors leading to successful urban woodland, i.e. woodland that meets the demands and preferences of local communities. Previous studies have identified such success factors as being, among other, knowledge about the composition of the local community, involvement of that local community, proximity and accessibility, and development of recreational facilities that meet actual demands. Based on a survey of the three Israeli municipalities and their community forests, it was found that a variety of factors jointly determine the success of urban woodland. In community forest accessibility was found to be the impediment for a high visitation rate, while in the second it was the low level of maintenance and development. Only one of the three woodlands studied is acting as true community forest and thus can be used a model for other urban woodlands. Planners and policy makers have to look at the full spectrum of factors in order to develop urban woodlands that are highly appreciated and frequently used by local urban communities.

The project of system of planning cryosurgery is offered. Its realization reflects on the basis of program Сomsol. It is possible to import real geometry of a tumor and a handpiece to program Сomsol cryodestructor for calculation of a thermal field and a necrosis zone. The proposed work is aimed at creating a system for planning cryo-operations in clisio. At the moment, there is no such system. Today there is research software that calculates using special numerical methods to test the theory in different institutes. For the successful application of cryosurgery methods in practice, doctors planning an operation, as well as an engineer designing effective cryogenic medical equipment, must not only correctly calculate the parameters of local cryoinfluence on biological tissue, but also be able to predict its results. At present, both the empirical method and the method of mathematical modeling are used to assess the results of local cryoinfluence. The method of mathematical modeling does not allow one to accurately describe the body's response to cryotherapy and to calculate the zones of necrosis. Its implementation in practice requires careful experimental verification. This is exactly what should be done, since there are very few doctors with high practical knowledge in cryomedicine, and the flow of patients is quite high. Therefore, the following tasks are set: 1) creation of a new generation of technology capable of making dynamic measurements with the required accuracy (a technical task for an experimental device has been drawn up and I conclude an agreement with a company to create this device); 2) conducting a series of experiments to determine the thermophysical properties on various biomaterials, both with and without pathology; 3) purchase or rent of licensed software for setting analytical and empirical data obtained from the experiment, and literature data. There are many software products that implement the numerical finite-difference method. Only unlike them, Comsol has a module for dynamic processes of bioheat, as well as using third-party software, for example, from Simpleware, you can set the real geometry of the tumor, obtained by diagnostic medical equipment (MRI, CT).

description: We study optimal steady states in multi-dimensional resource models with minimal assumptions on the underlying processes. A function L : X 7→ IRn is defined over the set of feasible states X ⊆ IRn in terms of the model’s primitives. This function and its derivatives are then used to obtain necessary conditions regarding the location and stability of optimal steady state candidates. Examples illustrating the applicability of the method show that it can reduce the list of optimal steady state candidates to a singleton in a variety of resource problems.

description: We study the stellar morphological evolution of disc galaxies within clusters in the TNG50 and TNG100 runs from the IllustrisTNG simulation suite. We select satellites of masses $10^{9.7} \leq M_{*,z=0}/\text{M}_{\odot} \leq 10^{11.6}$ residing in clusters of masses $10^{14} \lesssim M_{\text{200c,z=0}}/\text{M}_{\odot} \leq 10^{14.6}$ at $z=0$ and that were discs at accretion according to a kinematic morphology indicator (the circularity fraction). These are traced from the time of accretion to $z=0$ and compared to a control sample of central galaxies mass-matched at accretion. Most cluster discs become non-discy by $z=0$, in stark contrast with the control discs, of which a significant fraction remains discy over the same timescales. Cluster discs become non-discy accompanied by gas removal and star formation quenching, loss of dark matter and little growth or a loss of stellar mass. In contrast, control discs transform while also losing gas mass and quenching, but growing significantly in dark matter and stellar mass. Most cluster satellites change morphologies on similar timescales regardless of stellar mass, in $\sim0.5-4$ Gyr after accretion. Cluster discs that experienced more numerous and closer pericentric passages show the largest change in morphology. Morphological change in all cases requires the presence of a gravitational perturbation to drive stellar orbits to non-discy configurations, along with gas removal/heating to prevent replenishment of the disc through continued star-formation. For cluster discs, the perturbation is impulsive tidal shocking at pericentres and not tidal stripping of outer disc stellar material, whereas for control discs, a combination of mergers and AGN feedback appears to be the key driving force behind morphological transformations.

description: Migration patterns in Israeli agriculture have gone through different phases. Labor flowed into farming until the country became self‐sufficient in terms of food supply. Then, self‐employed farmers exited gradually while production continued to increase, destined for export markets. This process intensified considerably when foreign labor was allowed to enter the country. Traditional production theory predicts that migrant workers will drive local workers to lose their jobs, but the Israeli data show that the number of Israeli hired farm workers has actually increased since the arrival of foreign labor. This paper develops a modified theoretical model in which farm labor is heterogeneous, so that changes in the number of foreign and local hired workers are not necessarily opposite in sign. The results of the model are consistent with the observation that the availability of foreign labor has led to an increase in the production and export of labor‐intensive horticultural products. Farms have become larger and more specialized, and this has led to labor specialization, with foreign workers performing the manual tasks and Israeli hired employees performing the managerial and professional ones. We conclude that the inflow of foreign workers has led to an irreversible structural change in Israeli agriculture. Surrendering to the popular demand to reduce the number of foreign workers for the benefit of local workers will actually lessen the demand for local farm workers.

description: YMnO3 thin films were grown on n - type Si substrate by nebulized spray pyrolysis in Metal - Ferroelectric - Semiconductor (MFS) configuration. The C-V characteristics of the film in MFS structure exhibit hysteretic behavior consistent with the polarization charge switching direction, with the memory window decreasing with increase in temperature. The density of interface states decreases with the increase in the annealing temperature. Mapping of the silicon energy band gap with the interface states has been carried out. The leakage current measured in the accumulation region, is lower in well-crystallized thin films and obeys a space- charge limited conduction mechanism. The calculated activation energy from the dc leakage current characteristics of Arhennius plot reveals that the activation energy correspond to the oxygen vacancy motion
