description: This paper explores activities of the banking companies in the new regulatory environment of the European banking system. For this purpose, the dynamic panel data models are estimated by utilizing the system GMM estimator. The research sample consists of 35 publicly listed groups of banks operating in the period from 2000 to 2016, selected by size of assets. The chosen banking companies are unquestionably market makers on the bank-centric economy of the EU. Hence, the research is in line with other current empirical works regarding the post-Basel III Standard adjustment of the banking industry as a whole. The model results show that the required increase in capital position affects the lack of bank credit activity towards the non-financial sector. The banks can maintain the higher regulatory capital ratio and self-finance the required growth by increasing the volume of share capital. Asymmetric information about the bank's net worth discourage public investors to get into the shareholders position, which results in further bank lending constraints and reduced profitability. Potential growth of the revenue from non-credit risk operations cannot compensate for the negative pressure on the real value of the banking firm. From the policy-making perspective, the paper concludes that the resolution of structural problems of non-performing credit assets under new regulatory conditions should contribute to restoring the confidence of the investment public towards the self-financing capacity of the banking industry as well as bring the banking system back to the traditional client-oriented business model.

description: The article examines the hypothesis about the existence of regional peculiarities in the development of alternative financing models (such as p2p consumer lending, p2p business lending, p2p real estate lending, balance sheet business lending, balance sheet consumer lending, equity-based crowdfunding, reward-based crowdfunding, real estate crowdfunding, profit sharing crowdfunding, donation-based crowdfunding, invoice trading, debt-based securities). According to an alternative hypothesis, due to the high integration of international financial markets, there are no regional peculiarities of the development of alternative financing models. The cluster analysis tools allow verifying these hypotheses. The cluster analysis methods used, such as tree clustering, k-means clustering, and two-way joining, demonstrate the lack of links between the country's regional affiliation and the degree of development of certain types of alternative financing in it. The key factors affecting the formation of clusters are volumes of peer-to-peer consumer lending and business lending, as well as the volume of invoice trading. According to the results of the research, the authors conclude that it is necessary to find other factors, apart from the regional features, which influence the ratio in the development of certain types of alternative financing in different countries.
The effects of choice in a high school foods lab
Creators: name: Gau, Michelle L.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Typically in a high school Foods course, students learn food preparation skills through the actual preparation of several recipes. Educational research recognizes benefits of student choice to teachers and students. Determining whether this is the case in teaching high school Foods studies led to my research. The purpose of this research is to explore the remodeling of the implementation of the learning outcomes from the Alberta Senior High School Foods Program of Studies. By gradually introducing greater student choice, students will move from preparing teacher-selected recipes, to choosing from a selection of recipes, and finally to choosing their own food products to meet learning outcomes. This question focuses this project: “What are the effects of giving students a choice in determining recipes to meet learning outcomes in a high school Foods lab?”

description: The distribution of the circumstellar material in systems of supergiant X-ray binaries (SgXBs) is complex and not well probed observationally. We report a detailed study of the spatial distribution of the Fe Kα-emitting material in the wind-fed system GX 301-2, by measuring the time delay between the Fe Kα line and the hard X-ray continuum (7.8-12 keV) using the cross-correlation method, based on XMM-Newton observation. We found that to obtain the true time delay, it is crucial to subtract the underlying continuum of the Fe Kα line. The measured size of the Fe Kα-emitting region over the whole observation period is 40 {\pm} 20 light-seconds. It is 5 times larger than the accretion radius estimated from a quasi-isotropic stellar wind, but consistent with the one estimated from a tidal stream, which could be the dominant mass-loss mechanism of GX 301-2 as inferred from the orbital distribution of the absorption column density previously. The measured time delay of the quiescent period is a little smaller than those of the flare periods, revealing the unsteady behaviour of the accretion flow in GX 301-2. Statistical and detailed temporal studies of the circumstellar material in SgXBs are expected for a large sample of SgXBs with future X-ray missions, such as Athena and eXTP.

description: La question des liens entre les identités et les communautés n’est pas nouvelle. Elle ressurgit à chaque décennie, surtout à la faveur des réformes dans différents domaines d’intervention. Depuis les années 60, les transformations connues dans l’univers des pratiques sociales et interventions professionnelles ont été présentées comme le reflet d’une quête de repères, en rapport avec les besoins complexes du citoyen et les défis de l’adaptation sociale. En effet, dans un monde globalisé où les identités distinctes s’affirment de plus en plus, des défis émergent dans de multiples circonstances mettant à l’épreuve la polysémie des notions telles que la participation citoyenne. La plupart de ces défis tardent à être relevés de façon spécifique. Dès lors, il faut non seulement admettre que les caractéristiques de la participation citoyenne peuvent toucher à des significations différentes, variées, mais il faut surtout accepter que la plupart des concepts mentionnés servent comme outils d’analyse potentiels du contexte historique, politique, culturel, économique, voire religieux, dans lequel évoluent les citoyens contemporains avec leurs craintes, contraintes et motivations (Galichet, 2001).

description: O ensaio visual Metaverso 3, apresenta um conjunto de imagens como diálogo imagético na sequencia de páginas da publicação, apresentando uma releitura gráfica da instalação virtual Ondas Sonoro Luminosas Metaverso 3 (https://10dimensoes.com/metaverso3), terceira versão da obra de mesmo nome na área de Arte e Tecnologia e inspiração do vídeo Penetrável digital 2 a ser apresentado no evento como um percurso possível nesse ambiente. Trata-se de um espaço virtual compartilhado 3D similar à Galeria de Arte do Departamento de Artes da UFRN/Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte rodeada de um ambiente externo imaginário inspirado no ambiente real de Marabá/PA e de praias de rio amazônicos. As propostas imagéticas não são realistas, mantendo um diálogo com movimentos das Artes Visuais, dentre eles os expressionistas. Na instalação artística original como metaverso os usuários movimentam-se pelas diversas ambiências da obra entrando em contato com diferentes interações artísticas e sonoras. A narrativa é em primeira pessoa, começando no ambiente da galeria virtual 3D, onde estão alocadas esculturas inspiradas em sua maioria no verbo voar, como pássaros, nuvens e até uma borboleta. Na sequencia há o ambiente da escada onde, ao final dela, junto ao teto, aparece um bilhete com uma mensagem, alusão à obra Ceiling Painting/Yes Painting da Yoko Ono, de 1966, atualmente no Museu Guggenheim em Bilbao, Espanha. O percurso externo envolve muitos micro ambientes, entre eles o da praia do Tucunaré - às margens do rio Tocantins, aludindo ao campo de sensação insular do horizonte do jogo, de onde é possível ver outras margens e a planaridade das águas que se movimentam sinuosas e penetram em voçorocas com uma conformação de topografia arenosa e flora onde árvores e frutos da região como o açaí e a castanheira estão presentes, além de personagens inspirados nos mitos dos povos originários da região como avatares.

description: A pesquisa de mestrado intitulada “Território, cultura e comunidade: o Centro de Memória da Cultura Negra Graça do Aché em Uberlândia” investigou a atuação deste equipamento cultural e sua apropriação pela comunidade negra da cidade. O centro de memória, também conhecido como Graça do Aché ou Graça, é um equipamento cultural da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia que tem como missão a promoção e a difusão da cultura, bem como dos costumes da comunidade afro-brasileira; o nome é uma homenagem a Maria da Graça de Oliveira, militante do movimento negro na cidade, que, em 1988, fundou o Bloco Aché, o bloco carnavalesco mais representativo da comunidade negra local. Para compreender a atuação desse espaço e investigar sua apropriação pela comunidade, recorreu-se principalmente às discussões da museologia social abordadas por Mário Chagas, à noção de território para Milton Santos e à de cultura, para Chauí. O percurso metodológico da investigação consistiu em um levantamento bibliográfico, um levantamento documental e entrevistas com pessoas vinculadas à gestão do Graça, que compõem o corpus da pesquisa. Ao longo da dissertação, apresenta-se o contexto das tradições populares da cultura negra de Uberlândia, considerando suas disputas territoriais; discute-se sobre os centros de memória e sua relação com a museologia social; reconstitui-se o percurso histórico do Graça; e, por fim, expõe-se uma análise que destaca a presença de duas mulheres negras que, no cargo de coordenadoras do espaço, contribuíram para a aproximação da comunidade com o centro, assinalando a importância de se pensar coordenações representativas na gestão de equipamentos culturais.

description: “Examinar os elementos não a partir do exterior, mas procurando o contato direto com sua pulsação interior”, frase do filósofo/professor/pintor Vassily Kandisnky que li há muitos anos atrás sempre me fez refletir, enquanto pintava, sobre a relação intrínseca entre meu corpo visual e minha alma sensível diante das vivências diárias. Essa série de pinturas chamada “Memórias de uma árvore morta” faz parte de um projeto maior que venho desenvolvendo chamado “ÁRVORES: descontinuidade, permanência e transformação da consciência coletiva ”, em um campo complexo que envolve a natureza humana e a sua relação com o mundo. As pinturas que apresentam linhas, espaços cheios/vazios, dinâmica e equilíbrio, se apresentam como memórias internas e coloridas do meu próprio eu/natureza em relação com o eu externo/natural. Me apropriando, por meio de Frottages (decalque) em preto e branco, das fissuras dos troncos cortados pelo homem, crio um universo de memórias coloridas (painéis) através dos entrecruzamentos das linhas (histórias de uma árvore), re-conhecendo a descontinuidade e a permanência de uma nova forma, de uma nova proposição, de uma nova maneira de experienciar a imagem, entre o que vejo e sinto, absorvendo a identidade de um novo conjunto de figuras, transformando cada trabalho em novas proposições que permitem repensar a dispersão/permanência/transformação de uma história que parte do cotidiano. Compor trabalhos em dimensões grandes sobre painéis, me traz um olhar curioso e propositivo diante das coisas do mundo e, nesse sentido, poder ser compartilhada com o outro em uma simbiose do sensível.

The segregation patterns have been captured by a CCD camera and spatio-temporal graphs are created. We report the occurence of instabilities which can last several hours. We stress that those instabilities originate from the competition between axial and radial segregations. We put into evidence the occurence of giant fluctuations in the fraction of grain species along the surface during the unstable periods.

description: It is shown that the generalized discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation can be reduced in a small amplitude approximation to the KdV, mKdV, KdV(2) or the fifth-order KdV equations, depending on values of the parameters. In dispersionless limit these equations lead to wave breaking phenomenon for general enough initial conditions, and, after taking into account small dispersion effects, result in formation of dissipationless shock waves. The Whitham theory of modulations of nonlinear waves is used for analytical description of such waves.

description: We characterize the photometric and kinematic properties of simulated early-type galaxy (ETG) stellar halos, and compare them to observations. We select a sample of ~1200 ETGs in the TNG100 and TNG50 simulations, spanning a stellar mass range of $10^{10.3}-10^{12}M_{\odot}$ and within the range of (g-r) colour and lambda-ellipticity diagram populated by observed ETGs. We determine photometric parameters, intrinsic shapes, and kinematic observables in their extended stellar halos. We study the variation in kinematics from center to halo and connect it to a change in the intrinsic shape of the galaxies. We find that the simulated galaxy sample reproduces the diversity of kinematic properties observed in ETG halos. Simulated fast rotators (FRs) divide almost evenly in one third having flat lambda profiles and high halo rotational support, a third with gently decreasing profiles, and another third with low halo rotation. Slow rotators (SRs) tend to have increased rotation in the outskirts, with half of them exceeding lambda=0.2. For $M_{*}>10^{11.5}M_{\odot}$ halo rotation is unimportant. A similar variety of properties is found for the stellar halo intrinsic shapes. Rotational support and shape are deeply related: the kinematic transition to lower rotational support is accompanied by a change towards rounder intrinsic shape. Triaxiality in the halos of FRs increases outwards and with stellar mass. Simulated SRs have relatively constant triaxiality profiles. Simulated stellar halos show a large variety of structural properties, with quantitative but no clear qualitative differences between FRs and SRs. At the same stellar mass, stellar halo properties show a gradual transition and significant overlap between the two families, despite the clear bimodality in the central regions. This is in agreement with observations of extended photometry and kinematics. [abridged]

Magnetorotationally-Driven Galactic Turbulence and the Formation of Giant Molecular Clouds

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003

description: Using local 3D MHD simulations, we investigate ways in which galactic turbulence associated with the magnetorotational instability (MRI) may influence the formation and properties of GMCs. Our disk models are vertically stratified and subject to uniform shear. Initial magnetic fields are weak and purely vertical. For simplicity, we adopt an isothermal equation of state. We find that MRI-driven turbulence develops rapidly, with the saturated-state Shakura & Sunyaev parameter alpha~(0.15-0.3) dominated by Maxwell stresses. Many of the dimensionless characteristics of the turbulence (e.g. the ratio of the Maxwell to Reynolds stresses) are similar to results from previous MRI studies of accretion disks, hence insensitive to the degree of vertical disk compression, shear rate, and the presence of self-gravity. The density-weighted velocity dispersions in non- or weakly self-gravitating disks are sigma_x ~ sigma_y ~ (0.4-0.6)c_s and sigma_z~(0.2-0.3)c_s, suggesting that MRI can contribute significantly to the observed level of galactic turbulence. The saturated-state magnetic field strength B ~ 2 μG is similar to typical galactic values. When self-gravity is strong enough, MRI-driven high-amplitude density perturbations are swing-amplified to form Jeans-mass (~10^7 Msun) bound clouds. Compared to previous unmagnetized or strongly-magnetized disk models, the threshold for nonlinear instability in the present models occurs for surface densities at least 50% lower, corresponding to the Toomre parameter Q_th~1.6. We present evidence that self-gravitating clouds like GMCs formed under conditions similar to our models can lose much of their original spin angular momenta by magnetic braking, preferentially via fields threading near-perpendicularly to their spin axes.

Towards an understanding of significance of providing food in an educational setting
Creators: name: Hampe, Amber Michelle
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: This is a literature review that focuses on understanding the significance of providing food in educational settings. It focuses on the current school meal programs available in Canada and compares these programs to programs in school food programs in the United States, Finland, and Japan. I discovered that many countries have federal government funding for school meal programs. Canada does not. I researched global and world food programs; government and nongovernment and corporate sponsored. I also studied grassroots school food programs operated by volunteers who see a need for school meal programs and must fundraise and submit successful grant applications to be able to operate. I explore the various reasons for implementing school feeding programs, what makes them effective and what is problematic. I then highlight what I theorize is a significant factor that is overlooked or underexplored in the literature, the potential for school feeding programs to increase school connectedness. School connectedness is defined as “an academic environment in which students believe that adults in the school care about their learning and about them as individuals” (Blum, 2005, n.p.). This leads to higher levels of emotional wellbeing and accelerated academic success (McNeely, Nonnemaker, & Blum, 2002; Klinger, Mills, & Chapman, 2007). I argue that providing students with food during the school day contribute to an environment of caring that enhances connectedness.

Exploro la intersección entre arte y activismo socioambiental, centrado en el río Santa Lucía en Uruguay y su relevancia actual como fuente de agua potable pero también como ecosistema complejo. El río Santa Lucía provee más del 60% del agua potable que se consume en Uruguay y por lo tanto es una de las cuencas más importantes del país. Esta cuenca, históricamente, tiene una serie de problemas socioambientales, tanto en relación al calentamiento global actualmente, así como también en relación a la especulación territorial y el extractivismo de los bienes naturales, entre otros problemas que están directamente relacionados a un modelo productivo extractivista y devastador. Soy miembro del colectivo ambientalista Asamblea por el Agua del río Santa Lucía y del colectivo artístico Reflote, desde este lugar de militancia y arte es que se enfoca mi investigación en relación al impacto del arte colaborativo y participativo en la conciencia social sobre las problemáticas ambientales que sufre la cuenca. Finalmente reflexiono sobre mi rol como artista dentro del movimiento en defensa del agua. Hago foco en un evento en el cual estoy involucrado, tanto en la gestión como así también en lo artístico, el Carnaval de Embarcaciones del río Santa Lucía. Este evento, con raíces en la historia de la ciudad de Santa Lucía, combina arte, comunidad y medio ambiente, funcionando como un espacio participativo que promueve la reflexión sobre la importancia del agua y los desafíos socioambientales actuales desde el ritual de la celebración.

description: We present an analysis of asymmetries in global HI spectra from the extended GALEX Arecibo SDSS Survey (xGASS), a stellar mass-selected and gas fraction-limited survey which is representative of the HI properties of galaxies in the local Universe. We demonstrate that the asymmetry in a HI spectrum is strongly linked to its signal-to-noise meaning that, contrary to what was done in previous works, asymmetry distributions for different samples cannot be compared at face value. We develop a method to account for noise-induced asymmetry and find that the typical galaxy detected by xGASS exhibits higher asymmetry than what can be attributed to noise alone, with 37% of the sample showing asymmetry greater than 10% at an 80% confidence level. We find that asymmetric galaxies contain, on average, 29% less HI mass compared to their symmetric counterparts matched in both stellar mass and signal-to-noise. We also present clear evidence that satellite galaxies, as a population, exhibit more asymmetric HI spectra than centrals and that group central galaxies show a slightly higher rate of HI asymmetries compared to isolated centrals. All these results support a scenario in which environmental processes, in particular those responsible for gas removal, are the dominant driver of asymmetry in xGASS.

description: Unstable periodic orbits scar wave functions in chaotic systems. This also influences the associated spectra, that follow the otherwise universal Porter--Thomas intensity distribution. We show here how this deviation extend to other longer periodic orbits sharing some common dynamical characteristics. This indicates that the quantum mechanics of the system can be described quite simply with few orbits, up to the resolution associated to the corresponding length.

description: A pesquisa aqui apresentada se fundamenta em um olhar decolonizador, que reaprende a olhar e escutar para representar o território em sua complexidade. Portanto, compreende que o olhar do expedicionário contemporâneo demanda novas abordagens críticas e reflexivas, e não mais um senso eurocêntrico de representação do mundo. Nesse contexto, o artigo descreve uma viagem científica a bordo do Veleiro Eco, a primeira embarcação à vela, destinada a expedições oceanográficas no Brasil, construída pela Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC). A partir dessa expedição, a investigação propõe a construção de uma cartografia do navegar, que, até o momento, é constituída por uma narração sob a forma de verbetes. Ela será retratada por meio de imagens e diversas linguagens do passado, reapropriadas por filtros contemporâneos.

description: Food wheat import market structure of Korea is oligopoly because the total share of US, Australian and Canadian wheat is over 95%. US and Australian wheat is competitive each other and Canadian wheat import is very sensitive to the prices of US and Australian wheat. Price-cost margin of Korean wheat market is 0.3529 on average in 1990s and the margin is increasing as the share of major suppliers grows bigger. Results of wheat import demand function, impulse-response analysis and variance decomposition on wheat import market show the influence of US wheat is strongest. So for the present it is necessary to manage US wheat import for the market stability in Korea.

description: Object recognition in 3D point clouds is a challenging task, mainly when time is an important factor to deal with, such as in industrial applications. Local descriptors are an amenable choice whenever the 6 DoF pose of recognized objects should also be estimated. However, the pipeline for this kind of descriptors is highly time-consuming. In this work, we propose an update to the traditional pipeline, by adding a preliminary filtering stage referred to as saliency boost. We perform tests on a standard object recognition benchmark by considering four keypoint detectors and four local descriptors, in order to compare time and recognition performance between the traditional pipeline and the boosted one. Results on time show that the boosted pipeline could turn out up to 5 times faster, with the recognition rate improving in most of the cases and exhibiting only a slight decrease in the others. These results suggest that the boosted pipeline can speed-up processing time substantially with limited impacts or even benefits in recognition accuracy.

description: Το σύνολο (όγκος) περιβαλλοντικών, μετεωρολογικών, εντομολογικών και άλλων χωρο-χρονικών παραμέτρων που επηρεάζουν την αφθονία των κουνουπιών καθιστά τις εργασίες μοντελοποίησης και πρόβλεψης αρκετά δύσκολες. Μέχρι τώρα, τα προβλήματα σχετικά με τον πληθυσμό των κουνουπιών αντιμετωπίστηκαν με ειδικές προσεγγίσεις για συγκεκριμένες περιοχές και προσαρμοσμένες στο γένος. Αυτή η εργασία προτείνει και αναπτύσσει το MAMOTH, ένα γενικό και ακριβές μοντέλοπου προβλέπει τον πληθυσμό των κουνουπιών για την προσεχή περίοδο (το μέσοαπόλυτο σφάλμα των προβλέψεων δεν αποκλίνει περισσότερο από14%). Το μοντέλο μηχανικής μάθησης που αναπτύχθηκε βασίζεται σε δορυφορικά και γεω-χωρικά δεδομένα για την αντιμετώπιση του προβλήματος. Το MAMOTH είναι ανεξάρτητο από την περιοχή εφαρμογής ή το γένος κουνουπιών, και μπορεί εύκολα να ανα-παραχθεί και να εφαρμοστεί σε κάθε περίπτωση χωρίς καμία ειδική απαίτηση. Τομοντέλο εφαρμόστηκε σε διαφορετικά είδη κουνουπιών (Culex - Ιός του Δυτικού Νείλου, Anopheles - Ελονοσία και Aedes - Zika / Chikungunya / Δάγκειος ιός) και σε διαφορετικές περιοχές ενδιαφέροντος (Ιταλία, Σερβία, Γαλλία, Γερμανία). Τα αποτελέσματα δείχνουν ότι αποδίδει με ακρίβεια και συνέπεια για όλες τις περιπτώσεις μελέτης. Επιπλέον, η αξιολόγηση διαφορετικών περιπτώσεων με αυτό το μοντέλο χρησιμοποιώντας τις ίδιες αρχές δημιουργεί την ευκαιρία για συγκριτικές μελέτες μεταξύ διαφορετικών περιπτώσεων
description: The set (volume) of environmental, meteorological, entomological and other spatio-temporal parameters affecting mosquito abundance makes the modeling and prediction tasks quite challenging. Up to now, mosquitoes abundance problems were ad-dressed with ad-hoc area-specific and genus-tailored approaches. This thesis proposes and develops MAMOTH, a generic and accurate framework that predicts mosquito abundance for the upcoming period (the mean absolute error of the predictions do notdeviate more than14%). The designed machine learning model relies on satellite EO and geo-spatial data to tackle the problem. MAMOTH is independent of the application area or mosquito genus, and can be easily replicated, and applied to any case without any special requirement. The framework was applied to different mosquitoes species (Culex - West Nile Virus, Anopheles - Malaria and Aedes - Zika / Chikungunya/ Dengue virus) and different areas of interest (Italy, Serbia, France, Germany). Theresults show that it performs accurately and consistently for all cases of study. Ad-ditionally, the evaluation of different cases with the same framework using the sameprinciples opens the opportunity for multi-case and multi-scope comparative studies

description: (Abridge) Near-infrared spectroscopy is used to study the kinematics and excitation mechanisms of the H2 and [FeII] gas in a sample of AGN. The H2 lines are unresolved in all objects in which they were detected while the [FeII] lines have widths implying gas velocities of up to 650 km/s. This suggests that, very likely, the H2 and [FeII] emission does not originate from the same parcel of gas. Molecular H2 were detected in 90% of the sample, including PG objects, indicating detectavel amounts of molecular material even in objects with low levels of circumnuclear starburst activity. The data favors thermal excitation for the H2 lines. Indeed, in NGC3227, Mrk766, NGC4051 and NGC4151, the molecular emission is found to be purely thermal. This result is also confirmed by the rather similar vibrational and rotational temperatures in the objects for which they were derived. [FeII] lines are detected in all of the AGN. The [FeII] 1.254mu/Pa-beta ratio is compatible with excitation of the [FeII] by the active nucleus, but in Mrk 766 it implies a stellar origin. A correlation between H2/Br-gamma and [FeII]/Pa-beta is found. We confirm that it is a useful diagnostic tool in the NIR to separate emitting line objects by their level of nuclear activity. X-ray excitation models are able to explain the observed H2 and part of the [FeII] emission. Most likely, a combination of X-ray heating, shocks driven by the radio jet, and circumnuclear star formation contributes, in different proportions, to the H2 and [FeII] emission. In most of our spectra, the [FeII] 1.257mu/1.644mu ratio is found to be 30% lower than the intrinsic value based on current atomic data. This implies either than the extinction towards the [FeII] emitting clouds is very similar in most objects or there are possible inaccuracies in the A-values in the [FeII] transitions.
