description: O presente artigo parte da distinção entre política de concorrência e direito da concorrência. São analisadas as diferentes finalidades, perspectivas e impacto que a política de concorrência pode ter em Estados em nível mundial considerando, em particular, o desenvolvimento económico de cada um. Adiante é estudada a política de concorrência acolhida em Países Africanos de Língua Oficial Portuguesa (PALOP), em particular no caso de Angola e Moçambique, e a evolução que o direito da concorrência tem sofrido nesses Estados. Por fim, são descritos múltiplos instrumentos de cooperação internacional, no domínio da política e do direito da concorrência, criados e estimulados por organismos internacionais e por organizações não governamentais. Esses mecanismos podem potenciar o desenvolvimento do direito da concorrência em países de língua oficial portuguesa – como o Brasil – ou em Estados com diferentes graus de desenvolvimento económico.
Extended Order Parameter and Conjugate Field for the Dynamic Phase Transition in a Ginzburg-Landau Mean-Field Model in an Oscillating Field

description: We present numerical evidence for an extended order parameter and conjugate field for the dynamic phase transition in a Ginzburg-Landau mean-field model driven by an oscillating field. The order parameter, previously taken to be the time-averaged magnetization, comprises the deviations of the Fourier components of the magnetization from their values at the critical period. The conjugate field, previously taken to be the time-averaged magnetic field, comprises the even Fourier components of the field. The scaling exponents beta and delta associated with the extended order parameter and conjugate field are shown numerically to be consistent with their values in the equilibrium mean-field model.

description: Despite the increasing amount of public and private resources dedicated to promoting foreign education, there is little empirical evidence on the influence that foreign-educated individuals have on reducing corruption in their home countries. Using a unique dataset on international student mobility since 1998, this study shows that increasing the number of students that receive tertiary education abroad, can lead to less corruption in their home countries. These results are robust to several model specifications as well as to the inclusion of control variables, including GDP per capita, economic freedom, and share of population that receives tertiary education.

Subjects: Homelessness

description: Aims: People who are homeless disproportionally experience mental health problems compared to the general population, however struggle to get the support they need. There is growing recognition of the gendered nature of homelessness and the need for more research exploring women’s experiences. This study sought to explore what helps and hinders women experiencing homelessness when accessing NHS mental health services, and how COVID-19 has impacted service access. Method: Fifteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with employees working with women in third sector organisations offering a diverse range of services to women experiencing homelessness. Interviews were transcribed and analysed using Thematic Analysis to identify common barriers and facilitators to mental health service access. Findings: Four themes were identified: 1. Double Impact of Gendered Abuse and Trauma, which outlines how gendered trauma can increase the risk of mental health problems but also reduce the likelihood women seek mental health support. 2. NHS Mental Health Services seen as Stretched Gatekeepers relates to the NHS being under-resourced, with complex and exclusionary referral pathways and support only available in a crisis. 3. Generic Mental Health Services are Unforgiving and Retraumatising outlines how services can be inflexible and punitive, lack awareness of gendered trauma and be discriminatory and coercive. 4. Ambivalent Interface between Third Sector and NHS Mental Health Services indicates how service providers offer significant mental health support to women but can feel unsupported by NHS mental health services in doing so. This theme outlines the value of specialist homelessness mental health services. Conclusion: Mental health services are difficult to access for women experiencing homelessness. Women experience gendered barriers to mental healthcare which services need to consider. Specialist homelessness mental health services can facilitate access to mental healthcare by focusing on outreach, offering more flexible services, and building longer-term trusting relationships with women.
Nonequilibrium fluctuation theorem for systems under discrete and continuous feedback control

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: Without violating causality, we allow performing measurements in time reverse process of a feedback manipulated stochastic system. As a result we come across an entropy production due to the measurement process. This entropy production, in addition to the usual system and medium entropy production, constitutes the total entropy roduction of the combined system of the reservoir, the system and the feedback controller. We show that this total entropy production of "full" system satisfies an integrated fluctuation theorem as well as a detailed fluctuation theorem as expected. We illustrate and verify this idea through explicit calculation and direct simulation in two examples.

description: China's modernization has transformed tens of millions of rural Chinese out of traditional farming life to seek fortunes in China's great cities. The decision process by which migrant workers determine whether their children should accompany their move is not only interesting in its own right, but it also provides the new evidence to further interpret results from previous studies. This paper details the factors that differentiate children who were left behind and children who migrated. The results of this paper indicate that aside from child and parental characteristics such as age, health, and parental migration status, to name just a few, educational policies in destination cities prove to be strongly correlated with the decision to bring children to cities.

description: The triangular lattice model with nearest-neighbor attraction and third-neighbor repulsion, introduced in [J. Pekalski, A. Ciach and N. G. Almarza, arXiv:1401.0801 [cond-mat.soft]] is studied by Monte Carlo simulation. Introduction of appropriate order parameters allowed us to construct a phase diagram, where different phases with patterns made of clusters, bubbles or stripes are thermodynamically stable. We observe, in particular, two distinct lamellar phases - the less ordered one with global orientational order and the more ordered one with both orientational and translational order. Our results concern spontaneous pattern formation on solid surfaces, fluid interfaces or membranes that is driven by competing interactions between adsorbing particles or molecules.

description: The appearance of the inflection point in the equation of state (EoS) is associated with the second order phase transition. The high cumulants of conserved quantities near the critical point are corresponding to the high derivatives of the EoS near the inflection point. The critical behavior of high cumulants of conserved charge near the QCD critical point, in particular, the sign change, is closely related to the appearance of inflection point. We show in general how the times of sign change of high cumulants relate to the order of derivative. We also demonstrate that the character of inflection point of EoS is as visible as the sign change of high cumulants in 3 systems, i.e., van der Waals equation of fluid, magnetization of spin models and the baryon number density of QCD matter. Therefore, we propose that the EoS, or the mean of baryon number density, should be measured and studied together with its higher cumulants in exploring QCD critical point in heavy ion collisions.

description: The microfinance crisis in Andhra Pradesh incited controversy worldwide between those who supported and those who discredited the industry's ability to alleviate poverty. Many reporters defamed for-profit microfinance institutions (MFIs) as opportunists, and claimed that their fundamental deficiencies victimized the poor. This paper refutes this claim and suggests instead that the incompatibility of MFIs with the political system in Andhra Pradesh was the driving force behind the crash. A comparative analysis of the development of microfinance markets in Latin America, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka, and a study of the political actors involved in the industry reveal that the crisis was primarily precipitated by political rather than fundamentally economic factors.

We find that the evolution of these large-scale vortex structures involves the generalised leapfrogging of the constituent vortex rings. Despite three dimensional perturbations in the form of Kelvin waves and vortex reconnections, toroidal vortex bundles retain their coherence over a relatively large distance (compared to their size), in agreement with experimental observations.

description: We study numerically scattering and transport statistical properties of tight-binding random networks characterized by the number of nodes $N$ and the average connectivity $α$. We use a scattering approach to electronic transport and concentrate on the case of a small number of single-channel attached leads. We observe a smooth crossover from insulating to metallic behavior in the average scattering matrix elements $\bra |S_{mn}|^2 \ket$, the conductance probability distribution $w(T)$, the average conductance $\bra T \ket$, the shot noise power $P$, and the elastic enhancement factor $F$ by varying $α$ from small ($α\to 0$) to large ($α\to 1$) values. We also show that all these quantities are invariant for fixed $ξ=αN$. Moreover, we proposes a heuristic and universal relation between $\bra |S_{mn}|^2 \ket$, $\bra T \ket$, and $P$ and the disorder parameter $ξ$.

description: As bike-share programs have gained prominence in Europe and in the United States, their advocates have often cited the health benefits associated with biking for active transportation. This has been the case in Philadelphia as well as many countries throughout the United States. In 2010, the Philadelphia Bikeshare Concept Study provided a proposal for a specific program to be implemented in Philadelphia. Although improvements to public health were cited as motivations for this program, the study did not include in-depth analysis of the program's potential effects on public health. This thesis investigates whether the proposed program can indeed be considered a public health initiative, and if so, what the implications of framing it as a public health initiative may be for the overall design of the program. A statistical analysis of the distribution of the health conditions that could be prevented through active transportation highlights spatial and sociodemographic inequalities, suggesting that in order to effectively promote public health, Philadelphia's bike-share program must take active steps to target the city's most vulnerable communities.

description: For a given m>=1, we consider the finite non-abelian groups G for which |C_G(g):|<=m for every g in G\Z(G). We show that the order of G can be bounded in terms of m and the largest prime divisor of the order of G. Our approach relies on dealing first with the case where G is a non-abelian finite p-group. In that situation, if we take m=p^k to be a power of p, we show that |G|<=p^{2k+2} with the only exception of Q_8. This bound is best possible, and implies that the order of G can be bounded by a function of m alone in the case of nilpotent groups.

description: As of December 2011, the Department of Defense faces significant budgetary cuts. One way of meeting such cuts would be to eliminate one leg of the current nuclear triad -“ land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). Such a cut would preserve billions of dollars in spending, but would also require a reassessment of U.S. nuclear strategy and policy goals. This paper argues that elimination of ICBMs is a feasible action that would preserve the nuclear force's flexibility with submarine- and bomber-based platforms. Additionally, such a move could refocus international efforts on nuclear disarmament and nonproliferation. However, the elimination of our perceived strongest technological capability could have a significant normative impact on the perception of U.S. military strength and capabilities. Domestic audiences, such as conservative elements or elder generations, would question the administration's ability to secure the U.S. against threats, and more aggressive nations may respond with shows of their own military missile capabilities. ICBMs serve more as a symbol of power and technology than as a practical weapon capable of being integrated into a feasible U.S. security strategy.

description: The Comment by Quintero et al (arXiv:1309.1065[nlin.PS])does not dispute the central result of our paper [Phys. Rev. E {87}, 062114 (2013)] which is a theory explaining the interplay between thermal noise and symmetry breaking in the ratchet transport of a Brownian particle moving on a periodic substrate subjected to a temporal biharmonic excitation $γ\left[ η\sin\left( ωt\right) +α\left( 1-η\right) \sin\left( 2ωt+φ\right) \right] $. In the Comment, the authors claim, on the sole basis of their numerical simulations for the particular case $α=2$, that "there is no such universal force waveform and that the evidence obtained by the authors otherwise is due to their particular choice of parameters." Here we demonstrate by means of theoretical arguments and additional numerical simulations that all the conclusions of our original article are preserved.

description: It might come as a surprise that right along with the tobacco industry, the conservative Christian right, the pro-choice left, and a multitude of other social interest groups and corporations, the People's Republic of China often spends hundreds of thousands of dollars each year lobbying the United States Congress. It might come as an even bigger surprise that, in the past, some of America's most iconic companies, such as Boeing, Caterpillar, General Motors, and General Electric, have spent tens of millions of dollars lobbying for pro-China trade legislation. This thesis serves as a study of the People's Republic of lobbying activity during the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, with a focus on the advocacy methods utilized by the Chinese to lobby the U.S. government as well as these corporate interests that have continually weighed in on China's behalf. Its primary purpose is to elucidate the significant role that both American multinational corporations and Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs) have played in China's lobbying efforts in order to demonstrate the extent to which the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) database—”the main foreign lobbying transparency infrastructure”—has failed to adequately record the amount of wealth and resources these interests have put into backing pro-Chinese legislation.

description: An intriguing feature of spintronics is the use of pure spin-currents to manipulate magnetization, e.g., spin-currents can switch magnetization in spin-torque MRAM, a next-generation DRAM alternative. Giant spin-currents via the spin Hall effect greatly expand the technological opportunities. Conversely, a ferromagnet/normal metal junction emits spin-currents under microwave excitation, i.e. spin-pumping. While such spin-currents are modulated at the excitation frequency, there is also a non-linear, rectified component that is commonly detected using the corresponding inverse spin Hall effect (iSHE) dc voltage. However, the ac component should be more conducive for quantitative analysis, as it is up to two orders of magnitude larger and linear. But any device that uses the ac iSHE is also sensitive to inductive signals via Faraday's Law and discrimination of the ac iSHE signal must rely on phase-sensitive measurements. We use the inductive signal as a reference for a quantitative measurement of the magnitude and phase of the ac iSHE.

description: Proceeding from close association between solar eruptions, flares, shock waves, and CMEs, we analyze relations between bursts at 35 GHz recorded with the Nobeyama Radio Polarimeters during 1990-2012, on the one hand, and solar energetic particle (SEP) events, on the other hand. Most west to moderately east solar events with strong bursts at 35 GHz produced near-Earth proton enhancements of J(E > 100 MeV) > 1 pfu. The strongest and hardest those caused ground level enhancements. There is a general, although scattered, correspondence between proton enhancements and peak fluxes at 35 GHz, especially pronounced if the 35 GHz flux exceeds 10^4 sfu and the microwave peak frequency is high. These properties indicate emission from numerous high-energy electrons in very strong magnetic fields suggesting a high rate of energy release in the flare-CME formation process. Flaring above the sunspot umbrae appears to be typical of such events. Irrespective of the origin of SEPs, these circumstances demonstrate significant diagnostic potential of high-frequency microwave bursts and sunspot-associated flares for space weather forecasting. Strong prolonged bursts at 35 GHz promptly alert to hazardous SEP events with hard spectra. A few exceptional events with moderate bursts at 35 GHz and strong proton fluxes look challenging and should be investigated.

description: Background: There is a growing literature documenting socioeconomic inequalities in obesity risk among adults in the UK, with poorer groups suffering higher risk. Methods: In this systematic review, we summarize and appraise the extant peer-reviewed literature about socioeconomic inequalities in adult obesity risk in the UK published between 1980 and 2010. Only studies featuring empirical assessments of relations between socioeconomic indicators and measures of obesity among adults in the UK were included. Results: A total of 35 articles met inclusion criteria, and were reviewed here. Conclusion: Socioeconomic indicators of low socioeconomic position (SEP), including occupational social class of the head-of-household at birth and during childhood, earlier adulthood occupational social class, contemporaneous occupational social class, educational attainment, and area-level deprivation were generally inversely associated with adult obesity risk in the UK. Measures of SEP were more predictive of obesity among women than among men. We outline important methodological limitations to the literature and recommend avenues for future research.

description: We develop a dynamical symmetry approach to path integrals for general interacting quantum spin systems. The time-ordered exponential obtained after the Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation can be disentangled into the product of a finite number of the usual exponentials. This procedure leads to a set of stochastic differential equations on the group manifold, which can be further formulated in terms of the supersymmetric effective action. This action has the form of the Witten topological field theory in the continuum limit. As a consequence, we show how it can be used to obtain the exact results for a specific quantum many-body system which can be otherwise solved only by the Bethe ansatz. To our knowledge this represents the first example of a many-body system treated exactly using the path integral formulation. Moreover, our method can deal with time-dependent parameters, which we demonstrate explicitly.

description: Background: Food insecurity (FI) has been shown to be associated with poor health both in developing and developed countries. Little is known about the relation between FI and neurological disorder. We assessed the relation between FI and risk for neurologic symptoms in southwest Ethiopia. Methods: Data about food security, gender, age, household assets, and self-reported neurologic symptoms were collected from a representative, community-based sample of adults (N = 900) in Jimma Zone, Ethiopia. We calculated univariate statistics and used bivariate chi-square tests and multivariate logistic regression models to assess the relation between FI and risk of neurologic symptoms including seizures, extremity weakness, extremity numbness, tremors/ataxia, aphasia, carpal tunnel syndrome, vision dysfunction, and spinal pain. Results: In separate multivariate models by outcome and gender, adjusting for age and household socioeconomic status, severe FI was associated with higher odds of seizures, movement abnormalities, carpal tunnel, vision dysfunction, spinal pain, and comorbid disorders among women. Severe FI was associated with higher odds of seizures, extremity numbness, movement abnormalities, difficulty speaking, carpal tunnel, vision dysfunction, and comorbid disorders among men. Conclusion: We found that FI was associated with symptoms of neurologic disorder. Given the cross-sectional nature of our study, the directionality of these associations is unclear. Future research should assess causal mechanisms relating FI to neurologic symptoms in sub-Saharan Africa.

description: The Sino-European CLEARING HOUSE project aims to provide evidence and tools that facilitate mobilising the full potential of urban forests as nature-based solutions (UF-NBS) for rehabilitating, reconnecting and restoring urban ecosystems. To achieve this goal, the project will establish a collaborative learning process on UF-NBS and develop a comprehensive co-design and co-learning system to connect policymakers, business, citizens and experts across China and Europe. This document - deliverable D3.1 ‘Guidance document for the local co-design and co-learning workshops (including local stakeholder analysis)’ - aims at presenting and describing how to involve local stakeholders and citizens in a UF-NBS research project and to promote solutions for sustainable urbanization. This guidance document shares the developed methodologies for co-design and co-learning workshops, and provides practical ways to identify and analyse target stakeholders both in China and Europe. The deliverable is structured in three main parts. The first part introduces the UF-NBS definition, CLEARING HOUSE project, workshops and explains the importance of stakeholder engagement. The second part presents the methodology and implementation of the co-design workshops, including its objectives, process, suggested agenda and intended target stakeholders. The third part describes the methodology of the two co-learning workshops. This document may be updated during the project lifetime appropriately, and the version number will be listed clearly in the version history timetable. This deliverable is linked to several annexes, including templates for preparing the co-design meetings, facilitating the activities and discussions, and reporting. These templates are available at the CLEARING HOUSE Co-design Community page at the Zenodo.org open access platform (https://www.zenodo.org/communities/ch_co-design/).

Entanglement-assisted electron microscopy based on a flux qubit

description: A notorious problem in high-resolution biological electron microscopy is radiation damage to the specimen caused by probe electrons. Hence, acquisition of data with minimal number of electrons is of critical importance. Quantum approaches may represent the only way to improve the resolution in this context, but all proposed schemes to date demand delicate control of the electron beam in highly unconventional electron optics. Here we propose a scheme that involves a flux qubit based on a radio-frequency superconducting quantum interference device (rf-SQUID), inserted in essentially a conventional transmission electron microscope. The scheme significantly improves the prospect of realizing a quantum-enhanced electron microscope for radiation-sensitive specimens.
