description: Городское население окраинных территорий Российской империи в конце XIX в. становится активным участником социальных процессов и инициатором новых форм общественной деятельности. Одной из важных инициатив является создание организаций, которые берут на себя обязанность открытия новых учебных заведений для малоимущего населения городов и жителей сельской местности. Это позволяет как активизации интереса к получению знаний, так и устанавливать более тесных взаимоотношения с центральными отраслевыми ведомствами.
description: The urban population of the outlying territories of the Russian Empire at the end of the XIX century became an active participant in social processes and initiator of new forms of social activity. One of the important initiatives is the creation of organizations that take on the responsibility of creating new educational institutions for the poor population of cities and rural areas. This allows both the activation of interest in obtaining knowledge, and the establishment of closer relationships with central industry departments.

description: The realization of novel technological opportunities given by computational and autonomous materials design requires efficient and effective frameworks. For more than two decades, aflow++ (Automatic-Flow Framework for Materials Discovery) has provided an interconnected collection of algorithms and workflows to address this challenge. This article contains an overview of the software and some of its most heavily-used functionalities, including algorithmic details, standards, and examples. Key thrusts are highlighted: the calculation of structural, electronic, thermodynamic, and thermomechanical properties in addition to the modeling of complex materials, such as high-entropy ceramics and bulk metallic glasses. The aflow++ software prioritizes interoperability, minimizing the number of independent parameters and tolerances. It ensures consistency of results across property sets - facilitating machine learning studies. The software also features various validation schemes, offering real-time quality assurance for data generated in a high-throughput fashion. Altogether, these considerations contribute to the development of large and reliable materials databases that can ultimately deliver future materials systems

description: La vieillesse ne transforme pas les habitudes alimentaires incorporées tout au long de la vie. L'alimentation des personnes âgées reflète les effets de structure traditionnellement observés dans la population française : localisation régionale et appartenance sociale. L'avance en âge se traduit toutefois par nombre de modifications dans la vie quotidienne (veuvage, relogement, etc.) qui entraînent des changements au niveau de la composition du ménage et de la délégation des courses. Ces changements affectent à leur tour les pratiques alimentaires et se traduisent en particulier par une diminution de la variété des produits consommés.

description: The article communicates gravitational baryogenesis in non-minimal $f(T)$ gravity and $f(T,B)$ teleparallel gravity where $T$ denote the torsion scalar and $B$ a boundary term. These extended teleparallel theories of gravity differ from the usual $f(T)$ gravity and therefore could provide key insights in expounding the baryon asymmetry of the universe. Furthermore, such a study also put constraints on the model parameters of these extended teleparallel theory of gravity. I present different baryogenesis interactions proportional to $\partial_{i}T$, $\partial_{i}f(T)$, $\partial_{i}(T+B)$ and $\partial_{i}f(T+B)$ and find that both of these teleparallel theories of gravity yield viable estimates of the baron-to-entropy ratio compatible with observations except for the baryogenesis interaction proportional to $\partial_{i}(T+B)$. It is therefore encouraging to exercise these extended theories of gravity in other cosmological areas to under their efficiency and applicability in characterizing the current state of the universe.

Relationships Matter: Yolngu Models of Community-Centred Education
Creators: name: Rafferty, Claire
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2022

description: Education is an enculturated and enculturating process that continues to privilege dominant Western structures and practices. However, in some communities in the Northern Territory, people have been reconceptualising, theorising and applying local models of education for many decades. Both ways education, as it is often referred to on the ground, is a model of learning that includes both Western and Yolngu knowledge systems in the process of schooling. The concept of 'both ways' education was first applied at Yirrkala School in the 1980s in response to education that excluded Yolngu knowledge systems. Critical to the implementation of both ways education were community-based teacher education courses which included action research cycles and developed local education theories which are still applied today. While this research demonstrates that understandings of both ways education vary, models of education that include Yolngu epistemologies were identified by participants as essential in contemporary education. However, the education system has continually failed to recognise the theoretical foundation of local models of learning. Furthermore, the absence of community-based teacher education courses that validate local models of learning have resulted in low numbers of qualified Yolngu teachers, despite these courses being integral in the continuation of both ways education. In this doctoral research I examine the intercultural educational space at Yirrkala and in the Laynhapuy region. Through an ethnographic approach that included methods such as group and individual interviews, workshops, and participant observation, I examined the conditions required for the planning, implementation and evaluation of local models of education; in particular, Galtha Rom. A place-based intergenerational pedagogy, Galtha Rom creates learning opportunities based on Yolngu ways of being, knowing and doing. Although the findings of this research indicate there is a high level of community and educator support for the inclusion of Yolngu knowledge systems in the process of schooling, there are issues related to the lack of ongoing teacher education and funding, and systemic clarity about both ways education models. Furthermore, the capacity of schools and communities to educate young people and adults through approaches such as Galtha Rom are impacted by fluctuating government policy, the skills, values and engagement of educators, and the dominant ideological underpinnings of stakeholders and systems. Consequently, the teaching of English is privileged, imbalances of power are sustained, and local knowledge is marginalised. A model of learning that includes local epistemologies could transform Western education systems, but community-based teacher education, local decision-making, and a deep engagement with context-specific educational theories and their application, are urgently required.

description: Accounting information has been employed in many economic-financial models applied to registered corporations to predict business failure. Nonetheless, there are practically no research works that predict failure in agricultural cooperatives. The fundamental elements of this legal form justify the development of specific prediction models. The Delphi methodology has been used to define agricultural cooperative failure and to assess the usefulness of accounting variables. The conclusions suggest considering those agricultural cooperatives with negative equity or cash-flow problems to be failures or to come close to this concept. Similarly, indebtedness volume, cash flow and solvency are the most relevant variables that can act as business prediction instruments.

description: The knowledge of the carrier dynamics in nanostructures is of fundamental importance for the development of (opto)electronic devices. This is true for semiconducting nanostructures as well as for plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs). Indeed, improvement of photocatalytic efficiencies by combining semiconductor and plasmonic nanostructures is one of the reasons why their ultrafast dynamics are intensively studied. In this work, we will review our activity on ultrafast spectroscopy in nanostructures carried out in the recently established EuroFEL Support Laboratory. We have investigated the dynamical plasmonic responses of metal NPs both in solution and in 2D and 3D arrays on surfaces, with particular attention being paid to the effects of the nanoparticle shape and to the conversion of absorbed light into heat on a nano-localized scale. We will summarize the results obtained on the carrier dynamics in nanostructured perovskites with emphasis on the hot-carrier dynamics and in semiconductor nanosystems such as ZnSe and Si nanowires, with particular attention to the band-gap bleaching dynamics. Subsequently, the study of semiconductor-metal NP hybrids, such as CeO$_2$-Ag NPs, ZnSe-Ag NPs and ZnSe-Au NPs, allows the discussion of interaction mechanisms such as charge carrier transfer and F{ö}rster interaction. Finally, we assess an alternative method for the sensitization of wide band gap semiconductors to visible light by discussing the relationship between the carrier dynamics of TiO$_2$ NPs and V-doped TiO$_2$ NPs and their catalytic properties.

RR Lyrae From Binary Evolution: Abundant, Young and Metal-Rich

description: RR Lyrae are a well-known class of pulsating horizontal branch stars widely used as tracers of old, metal-poor stellar populations. However, mounting observational evidence shows that a significant fraction of these stars may be young and metal-rich. Here, through detailed binary stellar evolution modelling, we show that all such metal-rich RR Lyrae can be naturally produced through binary interactions. Binary companions of these RR Lyrae stars formed through binary interactions partly strip their progenitor's envelopes during a preceding red giant phase. As a result, stripped horizontal branch stars become bluer than their isolated stellar evolution counterparts and thus end up in the instability strip. In contrast, in the single evolution scenario, the stars can attain such colours only at large age and low metallicity. While binary-made RR Lyrae can possess any ages and metallicities, their Galactic population is relatively young (1 to 9 Gyr) and dominated by the Thin Disc and the Bulge. We show that Galactic RR Lyrae from binary evolution are produced at rates compatible with the observed metal-rich population and have consistent G-band magnitudes, Galactic kinematics and pulsation properties. Furthermore, these systems dominate the RR Lyrae population in the Solar Neighbourhood. We predict that all metal-rich RR Lyrae have an A, F, G or K-type companion with a long orbital period (P > 1000 d). Observationally characterising the orbital periods and masses of such stellar companions will provide valuable new constraints on mass and angular momentum-loss efficiency for Sun-like accretors and the nature of RR Lyrae populations.

description: The method and status of a study to provide numerical, high-precision values of the self-energy level shift in hydrogen and hydrogen-like ions is described. Graphs of the self energy in hydrogen-like ions with nuclear charge number between 20 and 110 are given for a large number of states. The self-energy is the largest contribution of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) to the energy levels of these atomic systems. These results greatly expand the number of levels for which the self energy is known with a controlled and high precision. Applications include the adjustment of the Rydberg constant and atomic calculations that take into account QED effects.

description: Molecular property prediction is of crucial importance in many disciplines such as drug discovery, molecular biology, or material and process design. The frequently employed quantitative structure-property/activity relationships (QSPRs/QSARs) characterize molecules by descriptors which are then mapped to the properties of interest via a linear or nonlinear model. In contrast, graph neural networks, a novel machine learning method, directly work on the molecular graph, i.e., a graph representation where atoms correspond to nodes and bonds correspond to edges. GNNs allow to learn properties in an end-to-end fashion, thereby avoiding the need for informative descriptors as in QSPRs/QSARs. GNNs have been shown to achieve state-of-the-art prediction performance on various property predictions tasks and represent an active field of research. We describe the fundamentals of GNNs and demonstrate the application of GNNs via two examples for molecular property prediction.

description: L'évolution démographique des espaces à dominante rurale n'est plus négative depuis la fin des années 70 et cette évolution favorable s'est amplifiée au cours des 30 dernières années. Elle est le résultat d'un solde migratoire positif, qui vient plus que compenser le déficit naturel de ces espaces. A contrario, c'est un bilan naturel positif qui permet aux pôles urbains de conserver une évolution démographique positive, alors que les départs de ces espaces sont supérieurs aux arrivées. Dans les espaces ruraux, le déficit naturel, conjugué avec des flux migratoires croisés non aléatoires (départ des jeunes qualifiés et arrivée des retraités), conduit à une sur-représentation des personnes âgées et des ouvriers.
description: Since the end of the 70s, the demographic development of the rural dominant areas has no longer been negative and this favourable development emphasized during the last 30 years. It is due to a positive balance of migrants, which fully compensates for the natural deficit of these areas. Conversely, a natural positive balance allows the urban hubs to preserve a positive demographic evolution, while departures from these areas are higher than arrivals. In rural areas, the natural deficit, associated to non random crossed migrant flows (departures of skilled young people and arrivals of retired people) leads to an overrepresentation of workers and old people.

description: Fluctuations of harmonic flow along pseudorapidity, known as flow decorrelations, are an important probe of the initial state geometry of the quark-gluon plasma. The flow decorrelations are shown to be sensitive to the collective structure of the colliding nuclei, as revealed clearly by comparing collisions of isobars, $^{96}$Ru+$^{96}$Ru and $^{96}$Zr+$^{96}$Zr, which have different nuclear structures. The flow decorrelations in central collisions are mostly sensitive to nuclear deformations, while those in the mid-central collisions are primarily sensitive to differences in skin thickness between $^{96}$Ru and $^{96}$Zr. Longitudinal flow decorrelations in heavy-ion collisions are a new tool to probe the structure of colliding nuclei.

description: Abstract: La France compte 14 930 communes périurbaines qui couvrent le tiers du territoire, parmi lesquelles 90% sont des communes rurales. On associe souvent le mouvement de périurbanisation à la ségrégation sociale dans les villes. Nous en expliquons les raisons. Depuis deux décennies, le revenu moyen communal par foyer fiscal progresse dans les couronnes périurbaines proches des villes et il est en recul dans les villescentres, montrant un enrichissement relatif de ces proches couronnes. Cependant, les cadres ont des localisations plus centrales que les ouvriers, ces derniers étant surreprésentés dans les communes périurbaines éloignées. De plus, on observe une intensification de la ségrégation au sein des pôles urbains.
Compton Scattering and Generalized Polarizabilities

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In recent years, real and virtual Compton scattering off the nucleon have attracted considerable interest from both the experimental and theoretical sides. Real Compton scattering gives access to the so-called electromagnetic polarizabilities containing the structure information beyond the global properties of the nucleon such as its charge, mass, and magnetic moment. These polarizabilities have an intuitive interpretation in terms of induced dipole moments and thus characterize the response of the constituents of the nucleon to a soft external stimulus. The virtual Compton scattering reaction $e^-p\to e^-pγ$ allows one to map out the {\em local} response to external fields and can be described in terms of generalized electromagnetic polarizabilities. A simple classical interpretation in terms of the induced electric and magnetic polarization densities is proposed. We will discuss experimental results for the polarizabilities of the proton and compare them with theoretical predictions.

The growth of Sobolev norms of solution is described based on the scheme of almost reducibility. In particular, an $o(t^s)-$upper bound is shown for the $\CH^s-$norm if the equation is non-reducible. Moreover, by Anosov-Katok construction, we also show the optimality of this upper bound, i.e., the existence of quasi-periodic quadratic perturbation for which the growth of ${\mathcal H}^s-$norm of the solution is $o(t^s)$ as $t\to\infty$ but arbitrarily ``close" to $t^s$ in an oscillatory way.

description: The recently introduced Gaussian Process State (GPS) provides a highly flexible, compact and physically insightful representation of quantum many-body states based on ideas from the zoo of machine learning approaches. In this work, we give a comprehensive description how such a state can be learned from given samples of a potentially unknown target state and show how regression approaches based on Bayesian inference can be used to compress a target state into a highly compact and accurate GPS representation. By application of a type II maximum likelihood method based on Relevance Vector Machines (RVM), we are able to extract many-body configurations from the underlying Hilbert space which are particularly relevant for the description of the target state, as support points to define the GPS. Together with an introduced optimization scheme for the hyperparameters of the model characterizing the weighting of modelled correlation features, this makes it possible to easily extract physical characteristics of the state such as the relative importance of particular correlation properties. We apply the Bayesian learning scheme to the problem of modelling ground states of small Fermi-Hubbard chains and show that the found solutions represent a systematically improvable trade-off between sparsity and accuracy of the model. Moreover, we show how the learned hyperparameters and the extracted relevant configurations, characterizing the correlation of the wavefunction, depend on the interaction strength of the Hubbard model as well as the target accuracy of the representation.

description: Ulaanbaatar, the capital city of Mongolia, is among the top 5 cities with worst air quality in the world. Particulate matter pollution is extreme during winter with PM2.5 and PM10 reaching 436 μg/m3 and 1100 μg/m3, respectively. One of the major air pollution sources is suburban traditional housing areas called 'ger districts'. Households of ger districts consume approximately 850,000 tons of coal per year primarily for heating purposes, emitting tons of pollutants into the atmosphere. This thesis presents possibilities of utilizing solar energy to reduce air pollution from ger districts. Solar heating systems are inexpensive and simple. With combination of conventional heating systems it can provide reliable and stable energy and reduce fossil fuel consumption. The emission coefficient, calculated and measured by the City Air Quality Department was used to determine current total emissions and potential emission reductions from ger districts. The thesis concludes that solar heating systems have potential to reduce total coal consumption in ger districts by a factor of two and would reduce the overall emissions of PM10 by 6%, SO2 by 12%, NOX by 5% and CO by 23%.
Labour development : the improbable reconciliation of globalization with the rights of workers
Creators: name: Russo, Robert Marc
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The question of linking international trade and labour standards is an issue that has taken on increased visibility with the accelerating pace of globalization. Although globalization has brought benefits to some, it has not resulted in the predicted benefits for many workers worldwide and in particular for workers in developing countries. I have grouped the attempts to internationally regulate labour under a concept I refer to as labour development. Labour development is a subset of international social development policies designed to respond to the social instability caused by economic globalization. This thesis argues that the enforcing of labour standards as a form of developed world notions of workplace human rights clashes with notions of neo-liberal economic development. The purpose of this thesis is to determine the actual effects of labour development on developed and developing countries. Chapter 1 is an introduction to the labour development concept. It provides a theoretical framework, reviews the legal history of international labour law, and outlines the methods used in my analysis. Chapter 2 focuses on the creation and operation of the ILO and also examines the debate on linkages between trade and labour in the WTO. Chapters 3 & 4 then analyze the question of linkages in this hemisphere in the free trade and labour cooperation agreements negotiated by the United States and Canada with Latin American countries. Chapter 3 focuses on the operation of the North American Agreement on Labour Cooperation (NAALC) and examines complaints under the NAALC involving Mexican migrant workers in the U.S. Chapter 4 focuses on the development of Canadian international labour policy, from the NAALC to current free trade negotiations involving four Central American countries. It includes a case study of the Canada-Chile Agreement on Labour Cooperation. Chapter 5 applies the data in the case studies to labour development theory and analyzes labour development’s implications for both developing and developed countries. It argues that the reconciliation of labour development and neo-liberal economic globalization is extremely difficult. The chapter concludes with recommendations to detach future labour agreements from the current framework of free trade negotiations.

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.

Five golden rules for superstring phenomenology

description: Recent measurements of the values of gauge coupling constants as well as neutrino properties support the idea of a grand unified (GUT) description of particle physics at a large scale of $M_{GUT}\sim 10^{16}$ GeV. We discuss a strategy to incorporate this picture in the framework of superstring theory. In such a scheme successful predictions of GUTs can be realized while some of the more problematic aspects of grand unification might be avoided. The most promising models are expected in the framework of the heterotic $E_8\times E_8$ string theory.

description: Though policy openings for support from the ‘new rural paradigm’ look promising, market access through sustainability-led economic organisations in fragmented rural areas is not easy. This paper analyses the implications of the interactive embedded governance model framed by the structural, cognitive and relational dimensions of social capital and hence the firms’ ability to engage with networked stakeholders in bottom-up knowledge-sharing for innovation. We show how, in the case of three marginal rural villages in the province of Trentino, Italy, this approach was used to raise stakeholders’ awareness that the local identity and heritage resources represent assets that given appropriate knowledge sharing could be converted into ‘authentic’ tourism products. The study illustrates the critical importance of such non-economic factors for achieving sustainable rural development.

description: Near term quantum devices have the potential to outperform classical computing through the use of hybrid classical-quantum algorithms such as Variational Quantum Eigensolvers. These iterative algorithms use a classical optimiser to update a parameterised quantum circuit. Each iteration, the circuit is executed on a physical quantum processor or quantum computing simulator, and the average measurement result is passed back to the classical optimiser. When many iterations are required, the whole quantum program is also recompiled many times. We have implemented explicit parameters that prevent recompilation of the whole program in quantum programming framework OpenQL, called OpenQL_PC, to improve the compilation and therefore total run-time of hybrid algorithms. We compare the time required for compilation and simulation of the MAXCUT algorithm in OpenQL to the same algorithm in both PyQuil and Qiskit. With the new parameters, compilation time in OpenQL is reduced considerably for the MAXCUT benchmark. When using OpenQL_PC, compilation of hybrid algorithms is up to two times faster than when using PyQuil or Qiskit.

description: The intense radiation from a gamma-ray burst (GRB) is shown to be capable of melting stony material at distances up to 300 light years which subsequently cool to form chondrules. These conditions were created in the laboratory for the first time when millimeter sized pellets were placed in a vacuum chamber in the white synchrotron beam at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF). The pellets were rapidly heated in the X-ray and gamma-ray furnace to above 1400 C melted and cooled. This process heats from the inside unlike normal furnaces. The melted spherical samples were examined with a range of techniques and found to have microstructural properties similar to the chondrules that come from meteorites. This experiment demonstrates that GRBs can melt precursor material to form chondrules that may subsequently influence the formation of planets. This work extends the field of laboratory astrophysics to include high power synchrotron sources.

A 1D Model for the Unsteady Gas Dynamics of Ejectors

description: We propose a 1D unsteady model for supersonic single-phase ejectors. The model treats an ejector as a pipe network with two inputs and one output and combines a 1D gas dynamics formulation in each `pipe' with a junction model for entrainment and mixing. The model is calibrated and validated on experimental data in steady-state conditions and used to analyze the choking mechanism for the mixed flow. The model was then benchmarked against 2D URANS simulations to predict the ejector response to a sudden change in operating conditions, producing traveling waves. The results show that the model can correctly predict the ejector performance and the stream-wise evolution of relevant integral quantities (e.g. mass flow rates and momentum) in both steady and transient conditions.

The Auction Marketing of Flue-Cured Tobacco: A Preliminary Appraisal

description: Excerpts from the report Summary: This study was limited to the cost of marketing tobacco at auction and to some of the causes of cost variation. The purpose of the study is to suggest where and how costs might be reduced without lessening services of the market. The costs to the growers marketing tobacco at auction are not large and the system appears to be generally satisfactory. There are, however, possibilities of savings of more than 5 million dollars annually by improving the auction system and reducing the costs which enter into the auction market margin. The realization of any savings will require the active effort of the interested parties, especially of the growers, to bring about those changes which will increase the efficiency of the auction.

description: The paper reports on a sequence of analyses of the local self-governmental authority website-related features in conjunction with the socio-economic characteristics of the respective administrative units (counties and municipalities). These analyses had two objectives: (a) assessment of the local authority websites, their content and functionality, also in a dynamic perspective, and (b) inquiry into the potential interrelations between the specific features of the websites and the nature of the local unit, with special emphasis on the local development in the rural areas and its forward path. The study has been carried out for the capital province of Mazowsze in Poland, but some hints as to a quasi-comparative international study are also provided. First of all, substantial progress between 2003 and 2008 in the quality of the local authority websites is shown. Further, the conclusions from the study imply a rather loose connection between the characteristics of these websites and the socio-economic profile of the unit, including the characterisation along the urban-rural dimension. At the same time, though, an important role becomes apparent, played by the broadly conceived local culture, including the ‘smartness’ aspect, as perceived by the present authors. This role of culture and ‘smartness’ is visible in the very clear divergences from the general regularities observed, and is partly also associated with the socio-economic function of the respective local unit, as distinguished from the, say, income and education level characteristics of the local population.

description: Two years ago, the OGLE-III survey (Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment) announced the detection of 54 short period multi-transiting objects in the Galactic bulge (Udalski et al., 2002a, 2002b). Some of these objects were considered to be potential hot Jupiters. In order to determine the true nature of these objects and to characterize their actual mass, we conducted a radial velocity follow-up of 18 of the smallest transiting candidates. We describe here our procedure and report the characterization of 8 low mass star transiting companions, 2 grazing eclipsing binaries, 2 triple systems, 1 confirmed exoplanet (OGLE-TR-56b), 1 possible exoplanet (OGLE-TR-10b), 1 clear false positive and 3 unsolved cases. The variety of cases encountered in our follow-up covers a large part of the possible scenarii occuring in the search for planetary transits. As a by-product, our program yields precise masses and radii of low mass stars.
