description: Ewolucja polskiej rodziny dokonuje się pod wpływem przemian ustrojowych, politycznych, ekonomicznych, społecznych i ustawodawczych. Sprawiają one, że wiele zadań, jakie wcześniej pełniła rodzina, jest realizowanych poza nią. Obserwujemy przejmowanie klasycznych funkcji rodziny przez wyspecjalizowane instytucje (np. prokreacja w sztucznych warunkach laboratorium, wychowanie dziecka w żłobkach i przedszkolach, opieka nad osobami starszymi i niepełnosprawnymi w domach pomocy społecznej). Wiele z tych kwestii poważnie narusza podstawowe zasady moralne i religijne

description: This study applies an Error Correction Model to identify the market integration and price transmission between the grower price and the world price in Colombia and Vietnam, with an emphasis on the price long-run relationship and short-run adjustment across coffee varieties. The results show that both Vietnam and Colombia coffee market are well integrated with world market in the long run. Moreover, high quality coffee from Colombia is integrated in a higher degree than low quality from Vietnam. In the short run, price is asymmetrically transmitted in different direction for both countries, which implies that policy makers should consider quality issue when they implement any intervention.

description: This paper presents a blind detection and compensation technique for camera lens geometric distortions. The lens distortion introduces higher-order correlations in the frequency domain and in turn it can be detected using higher-order spectral analysis tools without assuming any specific calibration target. The existing blind lens distortion removal method only considered a single-coefficient radial distortion model. In this paper, two coefficients are considered to model approximately the geometric distortion. All the models considered have analytical closed-form inverse formulae.

description: Both the goal of energy independence and the desire to lower greenhouse gas emission have triggered the search for alternate energy sources. For second generation biofuel production, a key question is which form of industrial organization should be adopted in order to stimulate stable feedstock production. Using a two-stage optimal control framework, we analyze the optimal form of industrial organization should be adopted where technology innovation is endogenous and biorefinery faces credit constraint. Our results show that, under certain assumptions, it is optimal to adopt vertical integration in the beginning and move to contract farming later. Moreover, the tighter credit constraint that a biorefinery faces, the sooner the biorefinery would adopt contract farming.

description: Using a recently introduced formalism we discuss slow-roll inflaton from Kaluza-Klein theory without the cylinder condition. In particular, some examples corresponding to polynomic and hyperbolic $ϕ$-potentials are studied. We find that the evolution of the fifth coordinate should be determinant for both, the evolution of the early inflationary universe and the quantum fluctuations.

description: The group of isometries W of a regular rooted tree, and many of its subgroups with branching structure, have groups of automorphisms induced by conjugation in W. This fact has stimulated the computation of the group of automorphisms of such well-known examples as the group G studied by R. Grigorchuk, and the group H studied by N. Gupta and the second author. In this paper, we pursue the larger theme of towers of automorphisms of groups of tree isometries such as G and H. We describe this tower for all groups acting on the binary rooted tree which decompose as infinitely iterated wreath products. Furthermore, we describe fully the towers of G and H. More precisely, the tower of G is infinite countable, and the terms of the tower are 2-groups. Quotients of successive terms are infinite elementary abelian 2-groups. In contrast, the tower of H has length 2, and its terms are {2,3}-groups. We show that the quotient aut^2(H)/aut(H) is an elementary abelian 3-group of countably infinite rank, while aut^3(H)=aut^2(H).

description: This article analyzes the effects of conflict using a non-linear model and relies heavily on economic theory to define the relationship between conflict and profitability. This research builds on the model of Kretchmer and Puranam (2008), an effort-based model that captures the effects of employee collaboration. We expand upon this model and derive and test two main hypotheses. The first deals with the convexity of the relationship between conflict and profitability. The second analyzes the effect family business structure has on conflict and profitability.

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: In this paper, we propose a novel Reinforcement Learning approach for solving the Active Information Acquisition problem, which requires an agent to choose a sequence of actions in order to acquire information about a process of interest using on-board sensors. The classic challenges in the information acquisition problem are the dependence of a planning algorithm on known models and the difficulty of computing information-theoretic cost functions over arbitrary distributions. In contrast, the proposed framework of reinforcement learning does not require any knowledge on models and alleviates the problems during an extended training stage. It results in policies that are efficient to execute online and applicable for real-time control of robotic systems. Furthermore, the state-of-the-art planning methods are typically restricted to short horizons, which may become problematic with local minima. Reinforcement learning naturally handles the issue of planning horizon in information problems as it maximizes a discounted sum of rewards over a long finite or infinite time horizon. We discuss the potential benefits of the proposed framework and compare the performance of the novel algorithm to an existing information acquisition method for multi-target tracking scenarios.

description: We study a device for entangling electrons as cotunneling occurs through a quantum dot where on-site electron-electron interactions $U$ are in place. The main advantage of this device is that single particle processes are forbidden by energy conservation as proposed by Oliver et al\cite{oli02}. Within this model we calculated two electron transition amplitude, in terms of the T-matrix, to all orders in the coupling to the dot, and consider a finite lead bandwidth. The model filters singlet entangled pairs with the sole requirement of Pauli principle. Feynman paths involving consecutive and doubly occupied dot interfere destructively and produce a transition amplitude minimum at a critical value of the onsite repulsion $U$. Singlet filtering is demonstrated as a function of a gate voltage applied to the dot with a special resonance condition when the dot levels are symmetrically placed about the input lead energy.

description: Topological insulators (TIs) hold great promises for new spin-related phenomena and applications thanks to the spin texture of their surface states. However, a versatile platform allowing for the exploitation of these assets is still lacking due to the difficult integration of these materials with the mainstream Si-based technology. Here, we exploit germanium as a substrate for the growth of Bi$_2$Se$_3$, a prototypical TI. We probe the spin properties of the Bi$_2$Se$_3$/Ge pristine interface by investigating the spin-to-charge conversion taking place in the interface states by means of a non-local detection method. The spin population is generated by optical orientation in Ge, and diffuses towards the Bi$_2$Se$_3$ which acts as a spin detector. We compare the spin-to-charge conversion in Bi$_2$Se$_3$/Ge with the one taking place in Pt in the same experimental conditions. Notably, the sign of the spin-to-charge conversion given by the TI detector is reversed compared to the Pt one, while the efficiency is comparable. By exploiting first-principles calculations, we ascribe the sign reversal to the hybridization of the topological surface states of Bi$_2$Se$_3$ with the Ge bands. These results pave the way for the implementation of highly efficient spin detection in TI-based architectures compatible with semiconductor-based platforms.

description: Postoperative sore throat is the most frequently complaint after tracheal intubation. We aimed to determine whether changing patients’ head position during intubation reduces the incidence of postoperative sore throat. We randomized 130 patients receiving oral tracheal intubation into one of the two groups: the sniffing position group and elevation position group. Patients in the sniffing position group maintained sniffing position consistently during intubation, while those in the elevation position group transitioned from the sniffing position to the elevation position during tube advancement to the trachea. The primary outcome was incidence of airway trauma and postoperative sore throat (none/mild/moderate/severe) 1 h after surgery. The secondary outcomes were the incidence of postoperative sore throat at 6 h,12 h and 24 h, and hoarseness at 1 h, 6 h,12 h and 24 h postoperatively. One hundred twenty-eight patients completed our trial. There were no differences in the baseline characteristics of the patients between the sniffing position and elevation position group [51 (14.8) vs 53 (15.5) for age, 25/39 vs 26/38 for sex (male/female)]. No difference in basic airway condition was observed. Transitioning patient’s head from sniffing to elevation position during tube advancement to tracheal resulted in a significantly lower incidence of airway trauma [10/64 vs 23/64, risk ratio (95% CI): 0.76 (0.61–0.94), p = 0.009], postoperative sore throat and hoarseness compared with maintaining the sniffing position at 1 h [10/64 vs 30/64, risk ratio (95% CI): 0.63 (0.49–0.81), p < 0.001 for sore throat; 22/64 vs 34/64, risk ratio (95% CI): 0.71 (0.52–0.98), p = 0.044 for hoarseness] and 6 h [4/64 vs 17/64, risk ratio (95% CI): 0.78 (0.67–0.92), p = 0.006 for sore throat; 12/64 vs 27/64, risk ratio (95% CI): 0.71 (0.56–0.91), p = 0.002 for hoarseness]. There were no significant differences in postoperative sore throat and hoarseness at 12 and 24 h between the two groups. Transitioning patients’ head position from the sniffing position to a head elevation position during tube advancement into tracheal could significantly reduce the incidence of airway trauma, postoperative sore throat and hoarseness.

description: Myzomorphus amabilis (Tippmann, 1960)
 Udeteromorphus amabilis Tippmann, 1960: 101.
 Myzomorphus flavipes Galileo, 1987: 595; Monné and Giesbert 1994: 19 (checklist); Monné 1995: 74 (cat.); Galileo and Monné 2003: 41 (error of identification); Wappes et al. 2006: 5 (distr.); Monné 2006: 22 (cat.); Wappes et al. 2013: 4 (male and female; dist.); Lingafelter et al. 2014 (holotype); Monné 2015: 84 (cat.).
 The original description of the tibiae of Myzomorphus amabilis by Tippmann (1960) does not describe the shape of the metatibiae as unusual (translated): “tibiae flat and apically widened (mainly pro- and metatibiae).” Reexamination of the holotype confirmed that the metatibia distinctly narrow, gradually and are slightly enlarged from base to apex (James E. Wappes and Steven W. Lingafelter personal communication).
 However, according to Galileo and Monné (2003) (translated): “ Myzomorphus flavipes together with M. gounellei Lameere, 1912 and M. amabilis (Tippmann, 1960) have the metatibiae foliaceous. It differs from M. gounellei by the pronotum uniformly punctate, without intumescences, and from M. amabilis [female] by the metatibiae gradually enlarged from base to apex. In M. gounellei the pronotal disc has two smooth intumescences, and in M. amabilis [female] the metatibiae are abruptly enlarged from middle to apex.” This description of the female of M. amabilis does not agree with the holotype female (see Bezark 2015; Lingafelter et al. 2015). The male of M. amabilis also has the metatibiae as in the holotype female of the species. The information used by Galileo and Monné (2003) was based on Galileo (1987) who discussed the female of the species (translated): “Metatibiae abruptly enlarged at middle, then gradually enlarged toward apex.” Figure 1008 (Fig. 19) by Galileo (1987) agrees perfectly with this description, which was based on a female from Karl-Ernst Hüdepohl’s private collection. Based on the redescription and figures (Fig. 18–19), M. amabilis sensu Galileo (1987) may be a different and undescribed species of Myzomorphus.

However, several cases of liver injury associated with ZOL have been reported and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.The present study aimed to investigate the metabolic activation of ZOL in vitro and in vivo. ZOL-derived glutathione (GSH) and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) conjugates were detected in rat liver microsomal incubations. In addition, the GSH and NAC conjugates were also found in bile and urine of rats given ZOL, respectively.ZOL-derived GSH conjugate M1 was also observed in ZOL-treated rat primary hepatocytes, and the formation of M1 was inhibited by pre-cultured with quinidine (a selective inhibitor of CYP2D6). Combining with recombinant P450 enzymes incubations, we found that CYP2D6 was the predominant enzyme responsible for the metabolic activation of ZOL.ZOL can be metabolized to an α,β-unsaturated imine intermediate by CYP2D6. Pre-treatment of primary hepatocytes with quinidine was able to reverse ZOL-induced cytotoxicity.

description: The cardiometabolic index (CMI) combines abdominal obesity and abnormal blood lipid indices, representing a good predictive indicator of risk in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, the association between CMI and myocardial infarction (MI) is not clear. The present project was designed to explore the linkage between CMI and MI. Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005-2018 were employed in this project, with CMI as the independent variable and MI as the dependent variable. Weighted logistic regression was applied in the association analysis between CMI and MI. Restricted cubic spline (RCS), subgroup analysis, and interaction tests were employed to elucidate the non-linear relationship and stability of CMI and MI’s link. Moreover, to verify the robustness of the results, sensitivity analysis was conducted, with the MI status of subjects taking lipid-lowering drugs as the outcome variable A total of 13,923 participants were gathered in this project, with 605 cases of MI, accounting for 3.5%. In the weighted logistic regression model, a positive linkage was observed between CMI and the risk of MI (OR: 1.41, 95% CI: 1.18-1.68, p < 0.001). The RCS curves indicated a linear relationship between CMI and MI (P-non-linear = 0.146). Subgroup analysis manifested that CMI was positively linked with MI risk in males, individuals with BMI > 30kg/m2, and alcohol drinkers (p < 0.05). In addition, the interaction results demonstrated that there was no heterogeneity in the association between CMI and MI risk in the subgroups (p > 0.05). The sensitivity analysis showed that after adjusting for all confounding factors in the model, there was still a significant positive correlation (p < 0.01) between CMI and MI in the population taking lipid-lowering drugs. There is a significant positive linkage of CMI with MI risk, which is particularly significant in males, those with a BMI greater than 30 kg/m2, and those who have drinking habits. Even after considering the impact of lipid-lowering drug therapy, the positive correlation between CMI and MI remains robust, supporting CMI as a promising tool for assessing MI risk and guiding clinical prevention. Further research is required to probe into the application of CMI in different populations and its role in the prevention of CVDs.

description: This study re-examines household valuation of local parks to assess the value afforded to specific amenities contained within parks and how those amenities change over time. A large body existing literature studying local parks has found single family residential homeowners are surprisingly willing to pay very little to live in close proximity to these parks. Building on this research, we hypothesize that these results are driven by bundling both positive and negative features of local parks into a single amenity and that these amenities are likely to degrade over time reducing their value. We implement property fixed effects models to investigate if unbundling park attributes leads to significantly different willingness to pay insights relative to much of the existing literature using a unique dataset on park renovations. Using renovation data and a rich set of housing transactions, we further explore whether the values placed on specific park attributes change over time, consistent with a depreciating public asset.

description: Membrane trafficking establishes and maintains epithelial polarity. Rab22a has a polarized distribution in activated T-cells, but its role in epithelial polarity has not been investigated. We showed previously that Rab14 acts upstream of Arf6 to establish the apical membrane initiation site (AMIS), but its interaction with Rab22a is unknown. Here we show that Rab14 and Rab22a colocalize in endosomes of both unpolarized and polarized MDCK cells and Rab22a localizes to the cell:cell interface of polarizing cell pairs. Knockdown of Rab22a results in a multi-lumen phenotype in three-dimensional culture. Further, overexpression of Rab22a in Rab14 knockdown cells rescues the multi-lumen phenotype observed with Rab14 knockdown, suggesting that Rab22a is downstream of Rab14. Because of the relationship between Rab14 and Arf6, we investigated the effect of Rab22a knockdown on Arf6. We find that Rab22a knockdown results in decreased active Arf6 and that Rab22a co-immunoprecipitates with the Arf6 GEF EFA6. In addition, EFA6 is retained in intracellular puncta in Rab22a KD cells. These results suggest that Rab22a acts downstream of Rab14 to traffic EFA6 to the AMIS to regulate Arf6 in the establishment of polarity.

description: Two mechanisms that drive metal-to-semiconductor transitions in single-walled carbon nanotubes are theoretically analyzed through a simple tight-binding model. By considering simple structural trends, the results demonstrate that metal-to-semiconductor transitions can be induced more readily in metallic zigzag nanotubes than in armchair nanotubes. Furthermore, it is shown that both mechanisms have the effect of making the two originally equivalent sublattices physically distinguishable.

description: This paper considers the application of FPGA-based IIR filtering to increase the usable bandwidth of a piezoelectric transducer used in optical phase locking. We experimentally perform system identification of the interferometer system with the cross-correlation method integrated on the controller hardware. Our model is then used to implement an inverse filter designed to suppress the low frequency resonant modes of the piezo-electric transducer. This filter is realized as an 24th-order IIR filter on the FPGA, while the total input-output delay is kept at 350ns. The combination of the inverse filter and the piezo-electric transducer works as a nearly-flat response position actuator, allowing us to use PI control in order to achieve stability of the closed-loop system with significant improvements over non filtered PI control. Finally, because this controller is completely digital, it is straight forward to reproduce. Our control scheme is suitable for many experiments which require highly accurate control of flexible structures.

description: Розвиток інформаційних технологій вплинув на всі сфери суспільного життя, сформувавши низку проблем, пов’язаних із захистом інтелектуальної власності. Страхування авторських прав це ще одне питання, вирішення якого впливає не на локальних користувачів, а на глобальну безпеку суспільства у міжнародному спектрі. Говорячи про авторське право мимоволі постає питання щодо ефективності його захисту в умовах стрімкого розвитку інформаційних технологій і удосконалення технічних можливостей. Традиційні методи захисту інтелектуальної власності часто не встигають за темпами технологічних змін, формуючи нові виклики для авторів та розробників програмного забезпечення. В рамках цього процес страхування авторських прав є важливим інструментом, який сприяє забезпеченню додаткових гарантій та зниження ризиків, пов’язаних із порушеннями прав інтелектуальної власності.

Міжнародний досвід демонструє, що інноваційні підходи до страхування авторських прав може стати ефективним механізмом, який позитивно вплине на зменшення фінансових витрат і сприятиме творчому та технологічному розвитку цифрової індустрії.

Зважаючи на ґрунтовне дослідження питання інноваційних підходів до страхування авторських прав на програмне забезпечення, в контексті міжнародних і національних перспектив, доцільно відзначити, що в національній перспективі передбачається необхідність адаптації міжнародних інноваційних підходів до страхування авторських прав з урахуванням специфіки українського правового середовища та ринкових умов. Цей процес потребує розробки відповідних нормативно-правових актів, які б враховували особливості національного законодавства та практичні аспекти захисту інтелектуальної власності. Посилена адаптація в цій сфері сприятиме підвищенню ефективності правового захисту авторів програмного забезпечення в Україні та стимулюватиме розвиток інноваційних технологій. Як результат, означені зусилля допоможуть сформувати біль сприятливе середовище для інноваційної діяльності та підсилить конкурентоздатність національного ринку.

description: It is hard to find situations with localized public goods which lend themselves well to empirical study in economics. Business improvement districts (BIDs), for this reason, make for an interesting case study. BIDs are regions which use tax revenue to increase local amenity provision, in hopes of stimulating extra economic activity in the area. This paper examines how these amenities are capitalized into residential properties which overlap with, or reside near, these BIDs. Several findings emerge. First, homes within BIDs appear to appreciate more than homes within the rest of the DC area, following a BID’s anticipation or launch; this finding, however, is not robust to consideration of local price trends. Second, comparing homes within defined distances of BID borders suggests that homes within BIDs, following their anticipation or launch, do not appreciate more than their outside neighbors. Third, there is evidence of spillover effects. Homes closer to BIDs appreciate more than those further from such. Results suggest that positive externalities might not be solely confined to agents within a BID, but rather extend to its surrounding community.

description: In the last years food security has been an increasing concern for national governments, in particular in developing countries. Although food security is conceptualized by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in four dimensions: availability, access, utilization and stability, this research focuses only in access and utilization dimensions because the analysis of these aspects reflects more accurately the demand and nutrition sides of food security. During the 2000’s decade, recurrent food price shocks have altered the consumption and nutritional patterns of Mexican households, having significant consequences in food security. However, little is known about their impacts on consumption quantities and on their effects in the quality of the individuals’ diet. This research represents an effort to measure the effects of food price changes in a wider dimension that allows reasonably accurate analysis of who and how are the most likely adversely affected by harmful food price shocks, such as food price inflation, droughts, frost, flooding, etc. The methodological approach of this research uses six household-level survey-based variables within a pseudo-panel framework to carry out the estimations of demand analysis model. These estimators constitute a reasonably accurate description of household consumption patterns. Furthermore, nutrient elasticities estimates measure the effects of food prices shocks on the nutrient quantity purchase of the individuals. For the sake of the analysis, estimations are based in two groups of households and people, those in food poverty situation and those who are not in this condition. The estimations show interesting results; as expected, there exists important differences in terms of consumption patterns. Nonfood poverty households present a more diversified expenditure than households in food poverty condition, who mainly obtain their nutritional requirements from cereals and vegetables, pulses, tubers and fruits. As a consequence, the most vulnerable population is highly effected by price shocks on cereals. Additional evaluations on past rising food prices episodes were performed to measure the impact in terms of quantity percentage purchased by people in food poverty condition and people who is not in these circumstances.

Radio relics in a cosmological cluster merger simulation

description: Motivated by the discovery of a number of radio relics we investigate the fate of fossil radio plasma during a merger of clusters of galaxies using cosmological smoothed-particle hydrodynamics simulations. Radio relics are extended, steep-spectrum radio sources that do not seem to be associated with a host galaxy. One proposed scenario whereby these relics form is through the compression of fossil radio plasma during a merger between clusters. The ensuing compression of the plasma can lead to a substantial increase in synchrotron luminosity and this appears as a radio relic. Our simulations show that relics are most likely to be found at the periphery of the cluster at the positions of the outgoing merger shock waves. Relics are expected to be very rare in the centre of the cluster where the life time of relativistic electrons is short and shock waves are weaker than in the cooler, peripheral regions of the cluster. These predictions can soon be tested with upcoming low-frequency radio telescopes.

description: We have analyzed the soft X-ray emission in a wide area of the Sculptor supercluster by using overlapping ROSAT PSPC pointings. After subtraction of the point sources we have found evidence for extended, diffuse soft X-ray emission. We have investigated the nature of such extended emission through the cross-correlation with the density of galaxies as inferred from the Muenster Redshift Survey. In particular we have analyzed the correlation as a function of the temperature of the X-ray emitting gas. We have found a significant correlation of the galaxy distribution only with the softest X-ray emission (0.1--0.3 keV) and only for gas temperatures kT < 0.5 keV. We have excluded that this soft X-ray diffuse emission, and its correlation with the galaxy distribution, is significantly contributed by unresolved AGN, group of galaxies or individual galaxies. The most likely explanation is that the soft, diffuse X-ray emission is tracing Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium, with temperatures below 0.5 keV, associated with the large-scale structures in the Sculptor supercluster.
description: 8 pages, 6 figures, submitted to MNRAS; Version 2: some major changes due to a bug found in the image analysis code. The main result is unchanged. The paper has been expanded with the discussion about the contribution of single and star-forming galaxies to the diffuse emission, an estimate of the overdensity of the WHIM in the supercluster and with other referee's comments. Abstract slightly changed. Accepted for pubblication in MNRAS

description: In dilute gas kinetic theory, model collision dynamics such as Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) model is often used to get a better insight and numerical modelling. BGK model and its variants assume that highly nonlinear collision term can be replaced by a simple relaxation dynamics towards Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. Lebowitz et al., proposed an alternative framework for the collision model, known as Fokker-Planck model, where the relaxation of an arbitrary distribution towards Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution is modelled as a drift-diffusion process in velocity space. In the present manuscript, we extend the single component Fokker-Planck model to a binary gas mixture model over a large range of Schmidt numbers. We prove that these mixture models satisfy the necessary conservation laws and the H-theorem.
