description: Recent crises in the agricultural sector, such as the 2011 German dioxin scandal and deaths from EHEC or the last swine fever outbreak in Germany in 2006, have caused immense economic damage. As a result, German veterinary authorities at the district, state, and federal levels have been put in charge as crisis managers and leaders of active preventative organizations. To perform their tasks successfully, they require effective communication skills as well as close cooperation with stakeholders in the agribusiness sector. However, despite clear evidence that identifies these relationships as crucial, there is only very little research that directly addresses communication quality and intensity of public authorities responsible for food safety. The relevant literature so far primarily deals with the technical design and implementation of new information and communication systems. However, it often fails to address the particular needs and communication behaviour of individual users. It is the objective of this study to identify determinants of communication quality and to differentiate between types of communicators in order to shed light on the construct of communication behaviour in veterinary authorities. To do so, the determinants of the quality of communication between public authorities and their external stakeholders were identified based on a causal model. These determinants were used as cluster-building variables in a cluster analysis to determine different types of communicators in veterinary services.

description: The paper deals with methodological approaches of cost evaluation of canned feed production, especially cost evaluation of corn silage or silage from melted multiannual fodder on arable land. Mainly there is modification of the cost calculation method in two steps used for chosen fodder crops up to now. The first step is cost calculation of chosen fodder crops during cultivation and harvesting. The second step is cost calculation of chosen fodder crops processing, it means process of crops ensilage. The result of methodological modification of cost evaluation of canned feed production is an aggregate of own cost calculation by combining both phases of calculation, i.e. connection in the initial phase of cultivation and harvesting of fodder crops and the subsequent phase of processing and transport of canned feed. The paper is a partial output of a Research project of FBE MUAF Brno, (MSM No 6215648904).

description: Investment support has been considered a principal vehicle for enhancing the competitiveness of Czech agriculture since the early days of economic transition. However, thus far, little attention has been paid evaluating the actual effects of corresponding support programmes. The objective of this paper is to assess economic and other effects of Measure 121 “Modernisation of Agricultural Holdings,” of the Rural Development Programme (RDP) 2007-2013 on Czech farms. The counterfactual approach is adopted to investigate what would have happened if the supported producers had not participated in the programme; the resulting indicators are than compared. The quantitative analysis of programme effects is complemented by a qualitative survey on 20 farms that received investment support between 2008 and 2010. The quantitative assessment showed significant benefits of investment support in terms of business expansion (Gross Value Added) and productivity (GVA/labour costs) improvements. These results were confirmed by the qualitative survey. Finally, the issue of deadweight as related to investment support is discussed: the figures on very low net investment relative to the provided public support at the sector level, as well as answers of respondents both indicate possible significant deadweight. The presented results refer to the research carried out in the two projects – “Multifunctional agriculture for the benefit of society and rural development“(MZe RO0911) conducted by Institute of Agricultural Economics and Information“ and “ The Czech Republic in the European Research Area” (MŠMT LM2010010) conducted by Technology Centre ASCR.

description: The experimental storage ring (ESR), operated at the GSI facility in Darmstadt, Germany, allows experiments with a variety of ion species. In combination with the existing electron cooler, its RF cavities have been used to demonstrate longitudinal beam accumulation in order to increase the beam intensity. Limitations of the existing narrow-band cavities led to the development of a magnetic alloy (MA) based broad-band cavity for the generation of Barrier-Bucket signals. The application of a pre-distortion method demands high linearity of the driver amplifier and highlights the importance of its selection process. In this contribution, the cavity and amplifier system design is described and data measured at a prototype system are presented.

description: Background Providing positive and supportive environments for nurses and midwives working in ever-changing and complex healthcare services is paramount. Clinical supervision is one approach that nurtures and supports professional guidance, ethical practice, and personal development, which impacts positively on staff morale and standards of care delivery. In the context of this study, peer group clinical supervision provides allocated time to reflect and discuss care provided and facilitated by clinical supervisors who are at the same grade/level as the supervisees.Methods To explore the clinical supervisor’s experiences of peer group clinical supervision a mixed methods study design was utilised within Irish health services (midwifery, intellectual disability, general, mental health). The Manchester Clinical Supervision Scale was used to survey clinical supervisors (n=36) and semi-structured interviews (n=10) with clinical supervisors were conducted. Survey data were analysed through SPSS and interview data were analysed utilising content analysis. The qualitative and quantitative data’s reporting rigour was guided by the CROSS and SRQR guidelines.Results Participants generally had a positive encounter when providing clinical supervision. They highly appreciated the value of clinical supervision and expressed a considerable degree of contentment with the supervision they provided to supervisees. The advantages of peer group clinical supervision encompass aspects related to self (such as confidence, leadership, personal development, and resilience), service and organisation (including a positive working environment, employee retention, and safety), and patient care (involving critical thinking and evaluation, patient safety, adherence to quality standards, and elevated levels of care).Conclusion There are many benefits of peer group clinical supervision at an individual, service, organisation, and patient level. Nevertheless, there is a need to address a lack of awareness and misconceptions surrounding clinical supervision to create an environment and culture conducive to realising its full potential. It is crucial that clinical supervision be accessible to nurses and midwives of all grades across all healthcare services, with national planning to address capacity and sustainability.

description: Astrophysical, terrestrial, and space-based searches for Lorentz violation are very briefly reviewed. Such searches are motivated by the fact that all superunified theories (and other theories that attempt to include quantum gravity) have some potential for observable violations of Lorentz invariance. Another motivation is the exquisite sensitivity of certain well-designed experiments and observations to particular forms of Lorentz violation. We also review some new predictions of a specific Lorentz-violating theory: If a fundamental energy \bar{m} in this theory lies below the usual GZK cutoff E_{GZK}, the cutoff is shifted to infinite energy; i.e., it no longer exists. On the other hand, if \bar{m} lies above E_{GZK}, there is a high-energy branch of the fermion dispersion relation which provides an alternative mechanism for super-GZK cosmic-ray protons.

description: Exclusive data on both the elementary kaon and antikaon production channels have been taken at the cooler synchrotron COSY in proton-proton scattering. In the kaon--hyperon production an enhancement by one order of magnitude of the Lambda/Sigma0 ratio has been observed at excess energies below Q=13 MeV compared to data at higher excess energies (Q>300 MeV). New results obtained at the COSY-11 facility explore the transition region between the regime of this low-energy Sigma0 suppression and excess energies of 60 MeV. A comparison of the energy dependence of the Lambda and Sigma0 total cross sections exhibits distinct qualitative differences between both hyperon production channels. Studies of kaon-antikaon production have been motivated especially by the ongoing discussion about the nature of the scalar resonances f0(980) and a0(980) coupling to the K anti-K channel. For the reaction pp->ppK+K- a first total cross section value is reported at an excess energy of Q=17 MeV, i.e. below the phi threshold. Calculations obtained within an OBE model indicate that the energy dependence of the available total cross section data close to threshold is rather difficult to reconcile with the assumption of a phase-space behaviour modified predominantly by the proton-proton final state interaction.

description: Aims:We take advantage of the second data release of the Gaia space mission and the state-of-the-art astrometry delivered from very long baseline interferometry observations to revisit the structure and kinematics of the nearby Taurus star-forming region. Methods: We apply a hierarchical clustering algorithm for partitioning the stars in our sample into groups (i.e., clusters) that are associated with the various molecular clouds of the complex, and derive the distance and spatial velocity of individual stars and their corresponding molecular clouds. Results: We show that the molecular clouds are located at different distances and confirm the existence of important depth effects in this region reported in previous studies. For example, we find that the L 1495 molecular cloud is located at $d=129.9^{+0.4}_{-0.3}$ pc, while the filamentary structure connected to it (in the plane of the sky) is at $d=160.0^{+1.2}_{-1.2}$ pc. We report B 215 and L 1558 as the closest ($d=128.5^{+1.6}_{-1.6}$ pc) and most remote ($d=198.1^{+2.5}_{-2.5}$ pc) substructures of the complex, respectively. The median inter-cloud distance is 25 pc and the relative motion of the subgroups is on the order of a few km/s. We find no clear evidence for expansion (or contraction) of the Taurus complex, but signs of the potential effects of a global rotation. Finally, we compare the radial velocity of the stars with the velocity of the underlying $^{13}$CO molecular gas and report a mean difference of $0.04\pm0.12$ km/s (with r.m.s. of 0.63 km/s) confirming that the stars and the gas are tightly coupled.

description: A deailed knowledge of pp collision is required both as input to comprehensive theoretical models of strong interactions and as baseline to decipher the AA collisions at relativistic and ultrarelativistic energies, which has been of great interest in the area of theoretical and experimental physics. The multiplicity distribution of particles produced in pp collisions and the multiplicity dependence of various global event features serve as rudimentary observables which reflect the features of the inherent dynamics of the process of particle production. Recent availability of dimuon data has triggered spur of interests in revisiting strong interaction process, the study of which in detail is extremely important for enhancement of our understanding on not only the theory of strong interaction but also possible physics scenarios beyond the standard model. Numerous papers have come up where background of production process of dimuon in pp collision has been discussed and analyzed particularly for production of dimuon from γγ interaction. Apart from conventional approaches the present authors proposed a new approach with successful application in context of symmetry scaling in AA collision data from ALICE, pp collisions at 8TeV from CMS and so on. The different approach essentially analyses fluctuation pattern from the perspective of symmetry scaling or degree of self-similarity involved in the process. The proposed methods of analysis using pseudorapidity values of di-muon data taken from the primary dataset of RunA(2011)-7TeV and RunB(2012)-8TeV of the pp collision from CMS, reveal that pseudorapidity spaces corresponding to different ranges of rapidity are highly scale-free and the scaling pattern changes from one rapidity range to another at both energy. Also, the degree of cross-correlation between rapidity and azimuthal space has been found to follow the similar behavior.

The Ks-band Luminosity and Stellar Mass Functions of Galaxies in z~1 Clusters

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We present the near-infrared (Ks-band) luminosity function of galaxies in two z~1 cluster candidates, 3C336 and Q1335+28. A third cluster, 3C289, was observed but found to be contaminated by a foreground system. Our wide field imaging data reach to Ks=20.5 (5sigma), corresponding to ~M*+2.7 with respect to the passive evolution. The near-infrared luminosity traces the stellar mass of a galaxy due to its small sensitivity to the recent star formation history. Thus the luminosity function can be transformed to the stellar mass function of galaxies using the $J-K$ colours with only a small correction (factor<2) for the effects of on-going star formation. The derived stellar mass function spans a wide range in mass from ~3 x 10^{11}Msun down to ~6 x 10^{9}Msun (set by the magnitude limit). The form of the mass function is very similar to lower redshift counterparts such as that from 2MASS/LCRS clusters (Balogh et al. 2001) and the z=0.31 clusters (Barger et al. 1998). This indicates little evolution of galaxy masses from z=1 to the present-day. Combined with colour data that suggest star formation is completed early (z>>1) in the cluster core, it seems that the galaxy formation processes (both star formation and mass assembly) are strongly accerelated in dense environments and has been largely completed by z=1. We investigate whether the epoch of mass assembly of massive cluster galaxies is earlier than that predicted by the hierarchical galaxy formation models. These models predict the increase of characteristic mass by more than factor ~3 between z=1 and the present day. This seems incompatible with our data.

Materiais e métodos: Estudo prospectivo com 94 doentes que realizaram tomografia de coerência ótica Heidelberg Spectralis (módulo de Glaucoma versão de software 6.0), no Serviço de Oftalmologia do Hospital de Santa Maria. Foram analisadas as medidas da área do disco ótico/área de abertura da membrana de Bruch (Bruch Membrane Opening - BMO), a espessura do anel neurorretiniano (Minimum Rim Width - MRW), e a espessura da camada de fibras nervosa peripapilar (Peripapilary Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer - pRNFL) nos diferentes quadrantes. Resultados: Obtivemos uma amostra constituída por 188 olhos de 94 doentes com uma idade média de 55 anos. A regra ISNT verificou-se em 23% dos olhos, a regra IST verificou-se em 71% dos olhos e a regra IS verificou-se em 73% dos olhos. Conclusões: A regra ISNT não se aplica à espessura do anel neurorretiniano medido pelo OCT Heidelberg Spectralis (MRW/BMO), uma vez que que apenas 23% dos olhos obedeceram a essa regra. As regras IS e IST parecem ser mais representativas da população normal. A exclusão do quadrante nasal aumenta a especificidade da regra.

description: We present the catalog of Radio sources associated with Optical Galaxies and having Unresolved or Extended morphologies I (ROGUE~I), consisting of 32,616 spectroscopically selected galaxies. It is the largest handmade catalog of this kind, obtained by cross-matching galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 and radio sources from both the First Images of Radio Sky at Twenty Centimetre (FIRST) survey and the NRAO VLA Sky Survey \textit{without imposing a limit to the radio flux densities}. The catalog provides a \textit{visual} classification of radio and optical morphologies of galaxies presenting a FIRST core within 3\arcsec\ of the optical position. The radio morphological classification is performed by examining the radio-optical overlays of linear sizes equal to 1 Mpc at the source distance, while the 120\arcsec\ image snapshots from the SDSS database are used for optical classification. The results of our search are: (i) single-component unresolved and elongated, radio sources constitute the major group in the ROGUE I catalog ($\sim$90%), and $\sim$8% exhibiting {\it extended} morphologies, (ii) samples of 269, 730, and 115 Fanaroff-Riley (FR) type I, II, and hybrid galaxies, respectively, are presented (iii) we report 55 newly discovered giant/possible giant, 16 double-double, 9 X-shaped, and 25 Z-shaped radio sources, (iv) on the optical front, most galaxies have elliptical morphologies ($\sim$62%) while spirals form the second major category ($\sim$17%) followed by distorted ($\sim$ 12%) and lenticular ($\sim$7%) morphologies, (v) division between the FR I and the FR~II sources in the radio-optical luminosity plane is blurred, in tune with recent studies.

description: Water productivity is a suitable indicator in water potential analysis at a location in a region. In this study, changes in water use productivity are studied in spatial and temporal scale simultaneously. To evaluate temporal changes in water productivity in Hamadan region (Iran), Standard Precipitation Index (SPI) was analyzed and evaluated for drought, wet and normal conditions. To estimate regional water productivity, GIS and Kassam methods were coupled to estimate the Potential yield of rain-fed wheat in a developed rasterized grid network with 30×30 -km resolution. Results of this study indicate that the amount of water productivity in drought condition in comparison with the other two conditions was higher and from geographical point of view the southern parts of the region have higher potential production with compare to other locations of the province. The analysis shows the variation in amount of active radiation received by the earth surface is causing these differences.

description: The rise of the world's first civilization, that of Sumer in Mesopotamia, could not have occurred without a fully developed basket weaving technology that was available from the beginning. This technology may have reached a high point thousands of years earlier as shown by the Ain Ghazal statues which had a sophisticated woven reed core. While this was not the only developed technology at the time, it was crucial. In this article, I make two main points. #1. There is now clear physical evidence of basket weaving technology or reed craftsmanship (as the Sumerians also called it) long before the start of the Sumerian civilization. I list three examples of this evidence. #2. The Sumerians were able to use their highly developed reed craftsmanship to establish the world's first civilization in part because of their weaving skills and because they had access to an unlimited number of reeds, plus mud, clay, and bitumen. In this article, I cite numerous studies and experts to further my argument. I cover sea-going reed ships, irrigation, agriculture, home building, mass-produced bricks, the importation of copper, and more. I also include an appendix in which I list more than 100 words relating to basket weaving technology, words that were used for thousands of years in Mesopotamia, indicating the importance of this technology.

description: In this paper, three scenarios concerning different budget options of the reformed CAP are analysed based on the general equilibrium approach. The simulations consider a policy shock in 2014 and assess its impact until 2020. The results suggest that the changes in financing the second pillar CAP will produce only marginal effects on the economy. However, the reallocation of funds from the first to the second pillar has considerably larger negative effects on gross value added and employment in agriculture than the case of the second pillar budget reduction. On the other hand, the reallocation of funds will produce small but positive effects on the remaining sectors of the economy and the GDP. Research presented in this paper is the result of a research grant MSM 6046070906 “Economics of Czech agricultural resources and their efficient usage within the framework of multifunctional agri-food systems” and a Research Task of UZEI conducted for the Ministry of Agriculture TÚ 4241/2011”.

description: We find that disk galaxies show a sharp, mass-dependent transition in the structure of their dusty ISM. Dust lanes are a generic feature of massive disks with V_rot>120km/s, but are completely absent in galaxies with V_rot<120km/s. The transition reflects an increase in the scale height of the cold ISM in low mass galaxies, driven by larger turbulent velocities supporting the gas layer, rather than sharp drops in the gas surface density. We identify the V_rot=120km/s transition with the onset of gravitational instabilities in high mass galaxies. The instabilities lead to fragmentation and gravitational collapse along spiral arms, smaller gas scale heights, lower turbulent velocities, and thus to narrow dust lanes. The drop in velocity dispersion may be due either to a switch in the driving mechanism for turbulence or to a change in the response of the ISM to supernovae after the ISM has collapsed to a dense layer. The resulting smaller gas scale height can lead to significant increases in the star formation rate when disk instabilities are present, and may explain the Kennicutt surface density threshold for star formation. Our data suggest that star formation will be systematically less efficient in low mass disks with V_c<120km/s, leading to star formation timescales longer than the gas accretion timescale. This effect can suppress the metallicity and nucleosynthetic yields of low mass disks, and thus explain the disk mass-metallicity relationship without invoking galactic SN-driven outflows. The transitions in disk stability, dust structure, and/or star formation efficiency may also be responsible for observed changes in the slope of the Tully-Fisher relation, in the sharp increase in the thickness of dwarf galaxy disks, and in the onset of bulges in galaxies with V_rot>120km/s.

description: Objetivo: Apresentar um caso de hemorragia pré-macular tratada com hialoidetomia por Neodímio (Nd):YAG laser. Materiais/Métodos: Uma mulher de 78 anos recorreu ao Serviço de Urgência com perda súbita de visão no olho direito (máxima visão corrigida: 20/400). Observou-se uma hemorragia na interface vítreoretina no exame de fundo de olho e se estabeleceu um diagnóstico de hemorragia pré-foveal após alguns exames, possivelmente devido a um macroaneurisma. Realizou-se um punção com um impacto de 5 mJ de (Nd): YAG. Após 2 meses, os exames mostraram uma área pré-macular limpa com contorno foveal preservado e depois de 3 meses, a paciente estava assintomática. Conclusões: Os macroaneurismas arteriais retinianos são anomalias adquiridas, relacionadas com fatores de risco cardiovascular. A sua progressão é imprevisível, sendo a hemorragia pré-macular uma das complicações que comprometem a visão. Não há normas para o tratamento da hemorragia. O laser (Nd):YAG é um método não invasivo, económico e seguro. Neste caso, permitiu una recuperação rápida sem dano macular significativo.

description: Purpose: Emmetropia is one of the main goals in cataract surgery. Several intraocular lens power calculation formulas and methods have been developed to achieve successful outcomes. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of Hill-RBF method, and compare it with 3rd and 4th generation formulas. Material and Methods: Retrospective study evaluating eyes with cataract surgery with intraocular (IOL) placement in the bag. Biometric data were obtained using IOLMasterÒ500 (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG). Hill-RBF and traditional formulas (Haigis, Holladay1 and SRK/T) were ranked according to: mean absolute error (MAE) and percentage of final refractions within ±1,00D and ±0,50D of the predicted value. Results: Clinical data of 100 eyes were reviewed. MAE values favored Hill-RBF (0.077) over Haigis (MAE0.660; p<0.01), SRK/T (MAE0.537; p<0.01) and Holladay1 (MAE0.663; p<0.01). It was also associated with the highest percentage of eyes within 1.00D and 0.50D of target refraction, 100% of cases. Among other formulas, SRK/T was superior overall. Percentage of final refractions within ±1.00D were 78% with Haigis, 86% with SRK/T and 82% with Holladay1, decreasing to 52% vs 60% vs 46%, respectively, if final refractions within ±0.50D were considered. Performance of all formulas was remarkably low in small eyes, with mantained accuracy of Hill-BRF. Conclusions: Hill-RBF method performed significantly better in these subset of patients compared to other 3rd and 4th generation formulas and could be less affected by variations in axial length.

description: This study analyzed the determinant of meat demand among income groups, using multiple regression. Data for the study were obtained from 180 respondents, selected in six (6) wards through stratified random sampling, representing the three income groups, namely low, middle and high earning ≤ N15000, N15, 001- N30, 000 and ≥ N30, 001 respectively. Further more, 30 households each were purposively selected from the six (6) areas making a total of 180 households for the study. This study was restricted to ruminant meat products (cattle, goat and sheep) demand among households in Maiduguri Urban area and covered the period of May-June, 2010. The findings showed that 89.02% of the households were male headed, with 38 years as the mean age, while 77% had one form of formal education or another. The mean household size was eight, while the mean monthly income was N23,843. The multiple regression results revelled that gender was insignificant determinant of expenditure on ruminant for all the income groups, and was negatively related to high income group. However, the coefficients of gender were positive for low and middle income groups. Household size and income had positive coefficients and were significant at 1% level for all the income groups. Age had positive coefficients for all the income groups and was significant at 1% for middle income group. On the contrary it was not significant for low and high income. Educational level of the respondents had positive coefficients for all income groups and was significant at 1% level for low and middle income groups but was insignificant for high income group. The study recommended policies to improve improved income redistribution and the enhancement of the purchasing power of the poor.
