description: The article represents a lecture on the Vanoni Plan, Italy’s central post-war economic development policy, delivered on October 24th, 1957 at the Economic Development Institute in Washington. The origin and nature of the Vanoni Plan, announced in 1954, are first reviewed before the economic developments that followed in the period 1955-1957 are outlined. The aims of the Plan in light of Italy’s participation in the European Common Market are then considered, as are the increases in productivity and expansion of employment. The author then analyses the industrialisation of the Mezzogiorno within the framework of present Italian economic policy. Finally, the organisational rules for public enterprises operating in a market economy are examined. JEL: O14, O21, 025

description: The supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) is located at the dynamical center of the Milky Way. In a recent study of the X-ray flaring activity from Sgr A* using Chandra, XMM-Newton and Swift data from 1999 to 2015, it has been argued that the bright flaring rate has increased from 2014 Aug. 31 while the faint flaring rate decreased from around 2013 Aug. We tested the persistence of these changes in the flaring rates with new X-ray data of Sgr A* obtained in 2016-2018 (total exposure of 1.4Ms). We detected 9 flares in the Chandra data and 5 flares in the Swift data that we added to the set of 107 previously detected flares. We computed the intrinsic distribution of flare fluxes and durations corrected for the sensitivity bias using a new method that allowed us to take the error on the flare fluxes and durations into account. From this intrinsic distribution, we determined the average flare detection efficiency for each Chandra, XMM-Newton, and Swift observation. After correcting each observational exposure for this efficiency, we applied the Bayesian blocks algorithm on the concatenated flare arrival times. As in the above-mentioned study, we also searched for a flux and fluence threshold that might lead to a change in flaring rate. We improved the previous method by computing the average flare detection efficiencies for each flux and fluence range. The Bayesian block algorithm did not detect any significant change in flaring rate of the 121 flares. However, we detected an increase by a factor of about three in the flaring rate of the most luminous and most energetic flares that have occurred since 2014 Aug. 30. The X-ray activity of Sgr A* has increased for more than four years. Additional studies about the overall near-infrared and radio behavior of Sgr A* are required to draw strong results on the multiwavelength activity of the black hole.

The Common Market: princes, competition and "harmonisation"
Creators: name: BERTRAND, R.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review

Subjects: subject: European Common Market, free competition, price determination, common institutions, intervention
subject: F15, E31

description: By abolishing barriers to international competition and facilitating the free movement of products and factors of production, the Common Market will undoubtedly have a profound influence on the mechanism of price determination in the Member States. This influence will be partly the result of automatic adjustments, and partly of actions by Member States and by the new common institutions. The present article is concerned with the powers vested in these common institutions. Under the terms of the Treaty, there are considerable powers of intervention in the field of prices. However, the provisions in this area are the products of a very mixed set of motives and two somewhat contradictory economic philosophies. On the one hand, there is faith, at least in the international sphere, in market forces and the mechanism of free competition. On the other hand, there is fear that adjustment of prices, costs of production factors and profit margins among the participating countries might involve serious disturbances, with some countries or industries suffering losses. A demand thus arrises for the “harmonisation” of these elements. JEL: F15, E31

Year: 2024

description: This paper aims to investigate the dimensions of community engagement (CE) strategies and their relationship to destination competitiveness. Further examined the gender differences in CE in tourist destinations of India. The study adopted the exploratory sequential method. Primary data was collected through focus group discussions and expert interviews in the qualitative stage. A structured questionnaire was used for the descriptive stage. Factor analysis and a t-test were used for data analysis. The results indicate 16 CE strategies with three dimensions: governance, stewardship, and empowerment. The study further revealed no gender difference in assimilating CE practices and processes supporting the grass-root level sustainability of CBT destinations. The study goes beyond the conventional framework of CE as the study provides a holistic perspective of local empowerment, stewardship, and governance of tourism resource management that supports policymaking. Further, the study gives impetus to strengthen the local sustainability of tourism operations while understanding the potential gendered difference in resource appropriation.

A contribution to the liquidity preference theory of interest

description: In the long controversy which succeeded Keynes’s presentation of the Liquidity Preference Theory, predominant attention was given to the interrelationship between national income and the rate of interest. The nature and significance of the demand for and supply of money have, by contrast, received considerably less attention. The present paper elucidates two unsolved problems in this regard: the determination of the supply of money in a model which admits of a simple banking system, and the nature and main determinants of the demand for idle money. An attempt is made at introducing to the theory the hypothesis that a rise in the amount of hoarded money in the economy is likely to be accompanied by a reduction in the public’s desire for notes and coins. For this purpose, the author distinguishes between the proportion of active money and that of passive money which the public desires to hold in the form of cash. Some statistical evidence is then presented which seems to support the presumption that the proportion of active money which people demand in the form of cash exceeds that of passive money. A second modification to the theory is based on the contention that the demand for idle money depends not only on the rate of interest but also on the amount of wealth in the economy and as the amount of idle money is part of that wealth any change in this amount may cause a change in the demand for idle money. Thus, the version of the Liquidity Preference Theory here presented makes explicit allowance for a causal relationship between, on the one hand, the supply of idle money and, on the other, the total supply of money and the demand for idle money.

description: Viele Kinder in der heilpädagogischen Früherziehung verfügen nicht oder noch nicht über Verbalsprache. Um mit ihnen in Kontakt und Kommunikation zu treten, bietet sich Musik an. Diese motiviert, ermöglicht vielfältige Erfahrungen, knüpft an die frühe Mutter-Kind-Interaktion an, und fast alle Kinder sprechen positiv darauf an. Die vorliegende Arbeit geht mit Hilfe von Fachliteratur, Befragungen von Musikfachpersonen, Praxis-beobachtungen und einem Fallbeispiel der Frage nach, wie dies konkret aussehen könnte. Dabei wird klar, dass sich gerade schwer behinderte Kinder über die Anknüpfung an ihren Atem, ihre Bewegungen und Laute, mit Musik oft verstanden und aufgehoben fühlen. Durch synchrones Aufgreifen kindlicher „Äusserungen“ kann Selbstwirksamkeit erlebt werden, was allmählich zu einer Dialogfähigkeit führen kann. Diese macht ein gemeinsames Musizieren zum anre-genden „Gespräch“. Musik kann aber auch in festen Formen Halt und Struktur geben, Erwartungen aufbauen und Signale übermitteln. Musik bietet Kindern aller Entwicklungsstufen Möglichkeiten, in Kontakt und Kommunikation zu kommen.

description: Optical quantum memory--the ability to store photonic quantum states and retrieve them on demand--is an essential resource for emerging quantum technologies and photonic quantum information protocols. Simultaneously achieving high efficiency and high-speed, broadband operation is an important task necessary for enabling these applications. In this work, we investigate the optimization of a large class of optical quantum memory protocols based on resonant interaction with ensembles of $Λ$-type level systems with the restriction that the temporal envelope of all optical fields must be Gaussian, which reduces experimental complexity. We show that for overlapping signal and control fields there exists a unique and broadband pulse duration that optimizes the memory efficiency, and that this optimized efficiency can be close to the protocol-independent bound. We further optimize over the control field temporal delay and pulse duration, demonstrating saturation of this efficiency bound over a broad range of pulse durations while clarifying the underlying physics of the quantum memory interaction.

description: Whatever the ultimate solution of West Germany’s balance of payments problem, the surpluses of recent years have been an interesting test of the process of balance of payments adjustment. The present paper examines the causes of the “favourable” imbalance, one of the most striking in recent decades, and the various methods by which it might have been corrected. The author first reviews the modern theory of balance of payments adjustment and relates it to the German experience. The factors responsible for the strength of the balance of payments are then considered. Those of a structural nature, the longer-run aspects which have influenced the German demand for imports and the supply of and demand for German exports, are first examined. Those factors resulting from current economic policies, and in particular the way in which the Federal government’s tax receipts exceeded expenditure, the outstanding feature of German public finance during the years 1952-56, are then dealt with. The author concludes by considering the extent to which alternative methods were used and the problems which they involved. JEL: F31, F32, F38

description: We present a simple and intuitive description of both, the Schwinger effect and false vacuum decay through bubble nucleation, as tunneling problems in one-dimensional relativistic quantum mechanics. Both problems can be described by an effective potential that depends on a single variable of dimension length, which measures the separation of the particles in the Schwinger pair, or the radius of a bubble for the vacuum decay. We show that both problems can be described as tunneling in one-dimensional quantum mechanics if one interprets this variable as the position of a relativistic particle with a suitably defined effective mass. The same bounce solution can be used to obtain reliable order of magnitude estimates for the rates of the Schwinger pair production and false vacuum decay.

description: Athens is known globally as a tourism destination due to its culture and history. However, the city’s rich gastronomy and food products are only recently acknowledged as a vital resource for tourism development and scarcely researched. The present study aimed to identify tourists’ characteristics, food tourism motivations, and satisfaction concerning gastronomy. The objectives were to identify possible segments between tourists based on their attitude towards food, determine their specific motivations and level of satisfaction, and analyze their socio-demographic characteristics, travel decisions, and food-oriented activities. Fieldwork was conducted, and 640 valid questionnaires were completed. The findings revealed three distinct segments, the primary motivational factors, and the degree of satisfaction among the participating travelers. The practical implication of the study is a better understanding of the tourists in Athens and their engagement with food and gastronomy, which may assist entrepreneurs and DMO managers in raising the destination’s attractiveness.

Processing and characterization of hydroxyapatite-based bioceramic pastes
Creators: name: Chae, Taesik
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Repair of skeletal defects and filling fracture gaps requires bioactive, biocompatible, biodegradable and easy to handle bone grafts. Although synthetic hydroxyapatite (HAp) based pastes are very good candidates for such bone grafting applications (as they meet most of these requirements), there is a need for improved handling of such pastes. In the present research, a processing technology was developed for improving the injectability of HAp paste through surface modifications of HAp with surfactants. A novel syringe-based system for simple, practical assessment of paste's flow and injectability was developed to correlate viscosity of the modified paste with its flowability. HAp-based bioceramic pastes were prepared by combining HAp powder and surfactants in an intensive planetary ball milling in three kinds of liquid media: 1) distilled water, 2) binary solution of water and ethylene glycol (EG) and 3) poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS). In order to observe the effect of tri-sodium citrate (TSC) on flowability of the pastes, it was dissolved in each of the water-containing liquids. The pastes were carefully loaded into a novel syringe-based practical viscometer for injection tests using Instron Universal Testing System. It was found that TSC was very effective in reducing viscosity of the HAp pastes. EG was also found to be helpful for homogenization of the pastes. It is hypothesized that the citrate ions from TSC induced negative surface charges on HAp particles, which resulted in homogeneously dispersed HAp in the pastes. The hydrocarbon steric layer on HAp particles produced by EG molecules also induced less agglomeration of the particles in the pastes. These two surfactants helped to achieve good flowability of the water-based HAp pastes. However, high viscosity and hydrophobicity of PDMS caused poor mixing and increased viscosity of the pastes. It was also found that the custom-developed syringe-based practical viscometer can be conveniently used to quickly assess flowability of pastes of very high viscosity.
Cost-and demand-induced inflation

Subjects: subject: Price level, inflation, wage increases, cost-induced, demand-induced, empirical evidence
subject: E24, E31

description: The current debate among economists concerning the origin of the continual rise in the general price level has resulted in two different explanations of this phenomenon. On the one hand is the view that wage increases, because they exceed increases in productivity, force the entrepreneur to raise prices - i.e. cost induced inflation. On the other hand is the view that inflation is demand induced. The present article aims to establish theoretically what economic phenomena a cost-induced and demand-induced inflation, respectively, may be expected to produce. This procedure provides criteria with which the author then uses to evaluate whether the empirical evidence points to the one or the other type of inflation. JEL: E24, E31

description: The aim of this study was to investigate the cultivation of Nostoc sp., Arthrospira platensis and Porphyridium purpureum in industrial wastewater to produce phycobiliproteins. Initially, light intensity and growth medium composition were optimized, indicating that light conditions influenced the phycobiliproteins production more than the medium composition. Conditions were then selected, according to biomass growth, nutrients removal and phycobiliproteins production, to cultivate these microalgae in food-industry wastewater. The three species could efficiently remove up to 98%, 94% and 100% of COD, inorganic nitrogen and PO43--P, respectively. Phycocyanin, allophycocyanin and phycoerythrin were successfully extracted from the biomass reaching concentrations up to 103, 57 and 30 mg/g dry weight, respectively. Results highlight the potential use of microalgae for industrial wastewater treatment and related high-value phycobiliproteins recovery.

description: Dans le cadre des Accords Environnementaux Internationaux (AEI) sont appliquées soit des normes de dépollution uniformes accompagnées de transferts compensatoires (accord UT), soit des normes de dépollution différenciées sans transfert monétaire (accord D). Les problèmes de pollution transfrontalière affectant des pays hétérogènes, d'un point de vue des dommages issus de la pollution globale comme d'un point de vue des coûts de dépollution, impliquent de répondre à deux questions: (i) que gagneraient des pays hétérogènes à signer des AEI de norme uniforme, a priori contraignante ? (ii) Des transferts compensatoires permettent-ils de rendre la norme uniforme préférable même s'ils sont coûteux à mettre en oeuvre (en raison de coûts administratifs et politiques) ? Dans ce travail, on étudie le rôle des coûts de transferts entre pays dans l'issue des négociations internationales relatives à l'environnement. En effet, la mise en oeuvre de transferts compensatoires peut être coûteuse et ces transferts peuvent être qualifiés d'imparfaits. L’analyse du bien-être collectif montre notamment que les pays préfèrent signer l’accord UT plutôt que l’accord D si le coût associé aux transferts dans l’accord uniforme est suffisamment faible. L’analyse de bien-être individuel des pays nous permet de discuter des situations où l’un des pays peut être réticent à signer un accord donné plutôt qu’un autre, même si son niveau de bien-être s’améliore par rapport à la solution non-coopérative.

The observable changes call for the introduction of new institutional solutions in the sphere of cooperation between food producers and the trade infrastructure. The introduction of new solutions leads to the emergence of new forms of co-operation in the sphere of sale of mass-produced and niche food articles which permit to meet the demand of the emerging new sub-segments of the market in Poland both in urban agglomerations and in rural areas.
Tourist Preferences for Regional Food: A Study on Food Neophobia and Consumption Value Factors

Year: 2024

description: In recent years, tourism has experienced significant growth with a focus on traditional and nutritious regional food, allowing local farmers and service providers to establish distinct regional identities. However, despite their curiosity about regional food and beverages, tourists often exhibit hesitance in trying these offerings. This research represents the first comprehensive attempt to analyse tourists' purchasing behaviour concerning regional food in Nainital, India, renowned for its organic and therapeutic staple foods.


This paper employs statistical analysis to investigate tourists' intentions to purchase regional food and explores the moderating impact of food neophobia (FN) within the framework of the theory of consumption values (TCV). Data was collected through a survey of 266 tourists. The results indicate that Functional, social, and Emotional values significantly and positively influence tourists' intentions to purchase regional food. Moreover, both Functional and social values are moderated by food neophobia in their relationship with purchasing intentions. This study offers valuable insights into consumer food choices, enabling entrepreneurs and decision-makers to accurately assess the likelihood of tourists purchasing regional products.

description: The paper focuses on the impact of monetary policy on the forward exchange rate. While movements of long-term capital may be considered to depend mostly on development overseas, international movements of short-term funds are amenable to available means of control. Interest rate policy faces the dilemma of having to react to both the level of domestic demand or prices and international movements of mobile funds. If a pegged exchange rate must be defended without pegging the forward exchange rate, the dilemma seems to have no solution. If instead authorities are not obliged to confine their operations to the spot market, a technique to overcome to dilemma is available. JEL: E42, E43, E52, F31, G15, G21

description: In March 1957, the Federal Reserve published the results of a broad study of the role of consumer instalment credit in the American economy. Because of its nature, the study is most valuable for the insight it provides into the nature, growth and mechanism of consumer credit as it has come to exist in the United States today. It does not draw any conclusions or call for any specific action; it is concerned with isolating and describing the anatomy and physiology of consumer credit, not with pathology and therapy. The present article summarises the most significant features of consumer credit in the contemporary American scene. JEL: E21, E51, E58

Subjects: subject: France, banks, Central Bank, credit, Central Register
subject: E51, E58, G21

description: In France it is quite usual for a firm to have several bankers. This splitting up of loans makes communication between banks particularly necessary, and it is from the initiative of the banks, with the collaboration of the Central Bank and other authorities, that the Central Register of Loans was born. The essential justification for the creation of a Central Register is the extreme usefulness to the banks of information showing the degree of indebtedness of this or that customer so that they, acting in full knowledge, can police the distributions of credit. The present article describes the preparatory work for the Central Register, the hesitations and obstacles which preceded it, and its teething-troubles, before reviewing the actual administrative arrangements that were established.

subject: mountainous regions

description: The article presents sheep-farming as an example of multifunctional agriculture. The described branch of production is an optimum solution for agricultural activity in the mountainous regions from the point of view of their natural conditions and the relatively low capital intensity of such production. Sheep-farming represents a unique combination of the production of numerous marketable goods and public goods important for the entire society. It also is a highly sustainable branch of production which offers economic opportunities and which is conducive to social stability and permits to show care for the natural environment. The resumption of this almost relinquished activity offers a chance for infusing new life into the mountainous regions.

description: In der Heilpädagogischen Früherziehung werden auch Kinder begleitet, deren Mütter oder Väter eine psychische Erkrankung aufweisen. Dies ist ein Risikofaktor für die kindliche Entwicklung. Die vorliegende Arbeit setzt sich daher mit möglichen Auswirkungen einer Depressionserkrankung eines Elternteils auf das familiäre Zusammenleben auseinander. Aufgrund theoretisch erhobener Schutz-­ und Risikofaktoren im Kontext des Aufwachsens mit einem psychisch kranken Elternteil lässt sich sagen, dass ein offener und tabufreier Umgang mit der Krankheit für eine gesunde Entwicklung des Kindes von zentraler Bedeutung ist. Unter Berücksichtigung der Erkenntnisse aus qualitativ ausgewerteten Experteninterviews wird ein Bilderbuch für Kinder im Vorschulalter entwickelt, welches als Hilfsmittel für eine altersgerechte Informationsvermittlung der Kinder über die Depressionserkrankung des Elternteils genutzt werden kann. Das Bilderbuch wird anhand eines standardisierten Fragebogens durch zwölf Heilpädagogische Früherzieherinnen evaluiert.
title: Advanced Temporal Noise Shaping Techniques for Transform Audio Coding

description: Transform-based coding is the core of numerous widely used audio codecs. When coding transient signals, a well-known problem with this type of codec is the occurrence of quantization noise that is not masked. This leads to coding artifacts like the so-called "pre-echo", that can have severe impact on the perceived quality. A popular method to tackle this issue is Temporal Noise Shaping (TNS). TNS applies Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) in the transform domain to shape the quantization noise temporally in a way, that reduces or avoids unmasked quantization noise. In this work, a detailed mathematical framework for TNS analysis, an important step of TNS processing, is introduced. The framework uses the Generalized Discrete Fourier Transform (GDFT) to allow for an intuitive and convenient notation. Especially, the influence of spectral windowing inherent in TNS analysis is investigated. The results are used to propose a new spectral windowing method for enhancing temporal resolution and thus shaping quality of TNS based on LPC. Furthermore, a novel TNS technique based on subband merging/splitting is proposed. This allows for a processing on temporal subband signals for shaping the quantization noise. Two different approaches are explored allowing for different tradeoffs between shaping quality and amount of additional side information. All new methods are evaluated subjectively in an experimental coding environment using listening tests to show their benefit for the perceptual quality.

description: The slum settlement area around the tourist attraction of Tanjung Bayam Beach, Kelurahan Tanjung Merdeka, is the entrance gateway to this tourist location. Therefore, the poor settlement conditions, also affect the image of the area, especially the tourist attractions. Although there are still pros and cons, the concept of slum tourism has become one of the alternatives to trigger an improvement in the quality of the environment and life of the people living in slum settlements. This research aims to identify the potential of slum settlements in Kelurahan Tanjung Merdeka from the point of view of tourist attractiveness, accessibility, socio-economic life, accommodation, and facilities. The methods used in this research are field observations for data collection and weighing for analysis. The findings of this study are the results of calculations that indicate that the slum settlements around Tanjung Bayam Coast tourist attractions are potentially to be developed. It is hoped that this research will be a benchmark for further research related to the development of settlement potential for the slum tourism industry and the improvement of the quality of the slum settlement environment.

description: The paper presents development problems encountered by rural self-governments and economic entities in connection with their operation in the areas covered by the European ecological network Nature 2000. In the subjective opinion of the surveyed representatives of rural communities this network creates serious barriers to development. Such negative perception of Nature 2000 can be blamed largely on the insufficient knowledge of actual investment restrictions, which can be attributed to the lack of necessary information, and on the disregard for the opinion of local governments in the process of selection of such areas. However, the attractive features of the local natural environment are often regarded by the inhabitants of rural areas as factors essential for the stimulation of economic activity and for development.

description: In rural territories, tourism products are offering unique experiences to communities and tourists who are interested in knowing the experiences and traditions of these places, where communities are essential for the preservation and transmission of intangible cultural heritage. The world’s competent authorities are aware of the importance of safeguarding tangible and intangible cultural heritage, as well as the role of local communities in its preservation, which is vital for its future. This study aims to understand the perception of the Gândara community in the municipalities of Vagos, Mira and Cantanhede (Portugal) about the role of 'Gandaresa Women' in safeguarding intangible cultural heritage through tourism. The Gandaresa Woman is a fundamental element in the creation of the local and regional identity of these territories, being a vehicle for the transmission of traditions and knowledge between generations. Interviews were conducted with the population living in the territories of Vagos, Mira, and Cantanhede (Portugal). The results show the evident importance that these women had in the transmission of traditions and knowledge, that have been passed from generation to generation. It is essential to raise awareness in the resident communities towards a greater knowledge of their culture, and tourism has an active role in the preservation of the Gandarês heritage. The combination of tourist activity with the revitalisation of this heritage seems to be accepted by the local community.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit verfolgt die Fragestellung, inwiefern die Prämissen der Familienorientierung im Alltag der Heilpädagogischen Früherziehung (HFE) zur Stärkung des Kompetenzerlebens der Eltern eingesetzt werden. Fachkräfte und Eltern wurden getrennt voneinander befragt. Die Aussagen wurden anhand einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet und mit den Erkenntnissen der aktuellen Forschungslage verglichen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen auf, dass eine individuelle, alltagsbezogene, ressourcen- und bedürfnisorientierte Vorgehensweise sich dann als effektiv erweist, wenn Eltern die Verantwortung für die Entwicklungsprozesse ihres Kindes übernehmen, die Förder- und Erziehungsvorschläge in den Alltag integrieren und sich in der Eltern-Kind-Beziehung gefestigt fühlen. Dies wirkt sich positiv auf die Entwicklung des Kindes aus und kann dazu beitragen, das familiäre Belastungserleben zu reduzieren.
