Acrepyris agraensis

description: Acrepyris agraensis (Kurian, 1952) comb. nov.
 Pristepyris agraensis Kurian 1952, 1: 65 (fig. 12), 68–69 (male description), 70 (figs. 13–17); Kurian 1955, 4: 105 (note), Gordh & Móczár 1990, 46: 139 (catalog); comb. nov.
This species is known only from one male. It is supposed to be deposited at Botanical Garden Saint John´s College in Agra India. It was collected by Chandy Kurian in 10.VI. 1949 in Agra. However, we were not able to find the type.
 Although the original description of this species is lengthy, it does not provide information adequate to make a detailed taxonomical analysis. However, Kurian (1952) described three helpful characters to establish its generic identity, as follows: the metanotum well developed medially (metathorax one-third the scutellum, with many deep foveae [page 69]); the pronotal disc with transverse median elevation (prothorax... a transverse carina demarcating it into anterior and posterior areas [page 68]), and the hypopygium not deeply divided into two lobes (Abdomen... apex narrow, but truncate [page 69]). The first character led us to conclude that this species to Pristocerinae, because the metanotum well developed is the key-character for this subfamily, indicated as synapomorphy of the group by Sorg (1988) and Terayama (1996). Within Pristocerinae the only genus that has the combination of the pronotal disc with transverse median elevation and the hypopygium not deeply divided into two lobes is Acrepyris.
 Given this scenario, we propose a new combination of Pristepyris agraensis as Acrepyris agraensis. Although we were able to figure out the generic identity, it is not possible to establish the species identity, because the genital characters, which are fundamental for the taxonomy of Acrepyris, were not described by Kurian (1952).

description: In the framework of the Ginzburg-Landau equation, the temperature dependence of the upper critical field of small ring-like superconductors is studied. At equilibrium small parts of the phase diagram show paramagnetism for width / radius ratios below 0.85. Their number and extension increase with the size of the hole. In these regions, only the inner part of the ring shows a positive magnetic moment. The order parameter density profile appears to change, when crossing a first order transition line, which separates different angular momentum values, and we clarify the relationship between the localization of superconductivity nucleation and paramagnetism of those samples.

description: This thesis is an ethnographic study of life with oil and gas in Hammerfest, the first petroleum town in Finnmark, and of what role this town plays and is cast as in narratives of petroleum as a driver for development in the larger region. It examines how oil in the Barents region is both disputed and celebrated, and how this resource, which has been central to the Norwegian economy and society for the last 50 years, is understood from northern perspectives. In particular, it explores what forms consent and conflict take, and how different actors engage in showing, masking and performing these. Throughout the thesis, I employ performance as a trope to understand the creation and circulation of narratives about petroleum in the north, and how they are put in motion by industry players, local and national politicians, environmentalists and other actors. Working in a region that is simultaneously Sápmi and Northern Norway, the thesis also asks how assimilation policies and coloniality continue to have an impact today, and how this partakes in the making of pasts, presents and futures in the region. The first part of the thesis seeks to ground the making of narratives and lives in Hammerfest, to understand how the stakes and impacts of resource development are understood locally, and how futures are made and broken by the materialisation of the petroleum projects on- and offshore. The second part of the thesis is concerned with how the industry, the state and environmentalists creatively engage with conference settings, state rituals and the legal system, to strengthen their own narrative or contest that of others. From platform openings to announcement of licensing rounds, industry celebrations to Norway’s first climate lawsuit, the thesis argues that an explicit focus on performance and rituals of state and industry is critical for our understanding of industrial development and resource futures.
Cold Fronts in CDM clusters

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recently, high-resolution Chandra observations revealed the existence of very sharp features in the X-ray surface brightness and temperature maps of several clusters (Vikhlinin et. al., 2001). These features, called ``cold fronts'', are characterized by an increase in surface brightness by a factor >2 over 10-50 kpc, accompanied by a drop in temperature of a similar magnitude. The existence of such sharp gradients can be used to put interesting constraints on the physics of the intracluster medium (ICM), if their mechanism and longevity are well understood. Here, we present results of a search for cold fronts in high-resolution simulations of galaxy clusters in cold dark matter (CDM) models. We show that sharp gradients with properties similar to those of observed cold fronts naturally arise in cluster mergers when the shocks heat gas surrounding the merging sub-cluster, while its dense core remains relatively cold. The compression induced by supersonic motions and shock heating during the merger enhance the amplitude of gas density and temperature gradients across the front. Our results indicate that cold fronts are non-equilibrium transient phenomena and can be observed for a period of less than a billion years. We show that the velocity and density fields of gas surrounding the cold front can be very irregular which would complicate analyses aiming to put constraints on the physical conditions of the intracluster medium in the vicinity of the front.

description: We investigate the LHC phenomenology of a model where the Standard Model (SM) scalar sector is extended by two real scalar singlets. A $\mathbb{Z}_2\otimes\mathbb{Z}_2'$ discrete symmetry is imposed to reduce the number of scalar potential parameters, which is spontaneously broken by the vacuum expectation values of the singlet fields. As a result, all three neutral scalar fields mix, leading to three neutral CP-even scalar bosons, out of which one is identified with the observed Higgs boson at 125 GeV. We explore all relevant collider signatures of the three scalars in this model. Besides the single production of a scalar boson decaying directly to SM particle final states, we extensively discuss the possibility of resonant multi-scalar production. The latter includes decays of the produced scalar boson to two identical scalars ("symmetric decays"), as well as to two different scalars ("asymmetric decays"). Furthermore, we discuss the possibility of successive decays to the lightest scalar states ("cascade decays"), which lead to experimentally spectacular three- and four-Higgs final states. We provide six benchmark scenarios for detailed experimental studies of these Higgs-to-Higgs decay signatures.

description: Objective: Disease modifying therapies (DMTs) for multiple sclerosis (MS) aim to delay progression and reduce relapses. Evidence is limited on the comparative effectiveness of the oral DMTs fingolimod and teriflunomide. This study evaluated time to treatment failure among patients with MS who initiated fingolimod versus teriflunomide in real-world settings. Methods: The retrospective cohort included 18–64 year old patients diagnosed with MS who initiated fingolimod or teriflunomide during 9/12/2012–9/30/2015 within MarketScan Commercial and Medicare Claims. Patients were followed from treatment initiation (index date) until first treatment failure or censoring. Treatment failure was defined as the first occurrence of MS relapse (identified using a validated algorithm) or treatment discontinuation (≥60-day supply gap). Treatment failure was examined through Kaplan-Meier analysis and multivariable Cox regression adjusting for 1-year baseline factors (age, gender, plan type, region, index year, prior DMT use, baseline relapses, Charlson comorbidity index [CCI], and MS symptoms). Results: On average, patients treated with fingolimod (n = 2,704) were younger (43.6 versus 49.8 years) with lower CCI (0.4 versus 0.7) and more relapses at baseline (0.46 versus 0.42) than those treated with teriflunomide (n = 1,859). Median time to treatment failure was 19.5 months with fingolimod versus 9.6 months with teriflunomide (p Conclusions: In a large cohort of U.S. adults with MS, controlling for key baseline characteristics, fingolimod was associated with significantly longer time to treatment failure and lower risk of treatment failure compared with teriflunomide.

description: This paper develops and tests a migration choice model that incorporates two prominent migration strategies used by households facing risk and liquidity constraints. On the one hand, migration can be used as an ex-post risk-coping strategy after sudden negative income shocks. On the other hand, migration can be seen an as investment, but liquidity constraints may prevent households from paying up-front migration costs, in which case positive income shocks may increase migration. These diverging migratory responses to shocks are modeled within a dynamic migration choice framework that I test using a 20-year panel of internal migration decisions by 38,914 individuals in Indonesia. I document evidence that migration increases after contemporaneous negative income shocks as well as after an accumulation of preceding positive shocks. Consistent with the model, I find that migration after negative shocks is more often characterized by temporary moves to rural destinations and is more likely to be used by those with low levels of wealth, while investment migration is more likely to involve urban destinations, occur over longer distances, and be longer in duration. Structural estimation of the model reveals that migration costs are higher for those with lower levels of wealth and education, and suggests that the two migration strategies act as substitutes, meaning that those who migrate to cope with a negative shock are less likely to invest in migration. I use the structural estimates to simulate policy experiments of providing credit and subsidizing migration, and I explore the impact of increased weather shock intensity in order to better understand the possible impact of climate change on migration.

description: Diversification of agriculture is considered essential to minimise the risk of crop failure, earn foreign exchange, alleviate poverty, and to make optimum use of slack resources. This study was based on primary as well as secondary data collected from a sample of 120 farmers. A three stage stratified random sampling was followed in drawing the sample cultivators. To study the magnitude of crop, income and employment diversification, Herfindhal and Entropy indices were calculated. The multiple linear regression models were estimated to study the factors affecting crop, income, and employment diversification. The results revealed that for crop acreage and income diversification, large farms had more diversified cropping pattern and income structure than small farms of both irrigated as well as unirrigated areas. In the overall farms analysis, un-irrigated areas were found to be more diversified in terms of number of crops than irrigated farms, whereas reverse was observed for income diversification. For employment diversification, large farms had more diversified employment pattern than small farms of irrigated areas, while reverse was observed for un-irrigated areas. In the overall farms situation, the pattern of employment was found to be more diversified, in un-irrigated areas than in case of irrigated areas. The regression results for the determinants of income diversification inferred that both the economic factors such as size of operational holding, number of fragments of holdings, dummy variable for bullock and the extent of tenancy as well as social factors like family size and age of the head of family were found to be significant factors, irrespective of farms categories, for explaining the process of income diversification, in both irrigated as well as un-irrigated agriculture. While family size, age and education level of the head of the family, size of operational holding, gross farm income and dummy variable for bullock were found to be the important determinants of off-farm income diversification in both irrigated as well as un-irrigated agriculture, irrespective of the farm categories.

description: Currently, there is a growing interest in studying the coherent interaction between magnetic systems and electromagnetic radiation in a cavity, prompted partly by possible applications in hybrid quantum systems. We propose a multimode cavity optomagnonic system based on antiferromagnetic insulators, where optical photons couple coherently to the two homogeneous magnon modes of the antiferromagnet. These have frequencies typically in the THz range, a regime so far mostly unexplored in the realm of coherent interactions, and which makes antiferromagnets attractive for quantum transduction from THz to optical frequencies. We derive the theoretical model for the coupled system, and show that it presents unique characteristics. In particular, if the antiferromagnet presents hard-axis magnetic anisotropy, the optomagnonic coupling can be tuned by a magnetic field applied along the easy axis. This allows to bring a selected magnon mode into and out of a dark mode, providing an alternative for a quantum memory protocol. The dynamical features of the driven system present unusual behavior due to optically induced magnon-magnon interactions, including regions of magnon heating for a red detuned driving laser. The multimode character of the system is evident in a substructure of the optomagnonically induced transparency window.

description: We will consider the social potential of young people within the framework of a qualification resource through the social value of higher education. In other words, the desire of young people to acquire knowledge and skills at a high level and further professional development. We propose to measure this indicator through the number of applicants in conjunction with the number of applicants and the average passing score for admission. Also introduce scales to measure the level of qualifications and acquired skills of university graduates, for which it is necessary to develop appropriate tools and, as a result, it will help to assess the capitalization of the social potential of young people as a real qualification resource.

description: Marine fishery in the Bay of Bengal and in the surrounding coastal areas is a highly valued renewable natural resource in the agricultural sub-sector of Bangladesh. It bestows the national economy with ample employments, food security, export earning, and is a safety net for the people who possess little. Its capture fishery Bangladesh in the Bangladesh chapter is placed third at the global level reflecting its economic significance of sustainable use. The essay makes an effort towards a quantitative analysis of marine fisheries development and tries to draw some qualitative implications of fisheries development in Bangladesh. In the time series analysis, it is found that both effort level and investment in marine fisheries must have reached a saturation level. While existing poverty may exacerbate overfishing phenomenon in capture areas, the fishing right arrangements require certain over-hauling including effort-control and the joint conservation practices.

description: The advent of general purpose computing on graphics cards has led to significant software speedup in many fields. Designing code for GPUs, however, requires careful consideration of the underlying hardware. This thesis explores the implementation of fluid dynamics simulations featuring embedded cut cells using the CUDA programming platform. We demonstrate efficient generation and handling of geometric surface data in rectilinear computational grids. This is added to a split Euler solver to define piecewise linear cut cells describing solid surfaces in fluid flows. To reduce the memory footprint of embedded boundaries, we present a system of compressed data structures. The software is extended to run on multiple graphics cards and shows good scaling. Simulating embedded boundaries requires a description of object surfaces. We implement a fast and robust narrow band signed distance field generator for graphics cards based on the Characteristic/Scan Conversion algorithm for stereolithography files. The thesis presents an augmented approach to handle commonly occurring complex configurations and we show that the method is correct for all closed surfaces. We discuss efficient feature construction and work scheduling and demonstrate high-speed distance generation for complex geometries. At the core of our simulation implementation is a split Euler solver for high-speed flow. We present a one-dimensional method that achieves coalesced memory access and uses shared memory caching to best harness the potential of GPU hardware. Multidimensional simulations use a framework of data transposes to align data with sweep dimensions to maintain optimal memory access. Analysis of the solver shows that compute resources are used efficiently. The solver is extended to include cut cells describing solid boundaries in the domain. We present a compression and mapping method to reduce the memory footprint of the surface information. The cut cell solver is validated with different flow regimes and we simulate shock wave interaction with complex geometries to demonstrate the stability of the implementation. We conclude with multi-card parallelisation and analyse existing literature on domain segmentation and GPU communication. We present a system of domain splitting and message passing with overlapping compute and communication streams. A comparison of naïve and GPU-aware Open MPI shows the benefits of using CUDA specific library calls. The complete software pipeline demonstrates good scaling for up to thirty-two cards on a GPU cluster.

description: This dissertation examines the phenomenon of the ‘Prussia-Renaissance’ in the German Democratic Republic (the GDR) during the late 1970s and early 1980s. It explores the cultural and political reasons why the official histories of the communist East German state began during this period to recognise and even publicly celebrate figures from Prussian history who had not served a ‘progressive’ historical agenda. The ‘rehabilitation’ of Prussian history in the GDR has long been interpreted as a watershed moment in the political and cultural history of the East German state. Yet while it has attracted a great deal of scholarly attention, the historiographical focus on the subject has remained statically political, emphasising above all the attempts of the ruling Socialist Unity Party (SED) to invoke the popular, emotional resources of dynastic and regional history as a legitimating strategy in the face of fast-changing political and economic conditions. Arguing against this tradition, the present study contends that the GDR’s ‘Prussia-Renaissance’ represented much more than a merely opportunistic political decision. Instead, it employs the ‘Prussia-Renaissance’ as a case study into the problematic relationship between popular historical narratives and socialist ‘historicity’ that was in fact typical of the ‘late socialist’ era all throughout Eastern Europe. By looking beyond ‘high politics’ and examining the cultural sphere, intellectual discourses and the international context from 1968 up until the 750th anniversary of Berlin in 1987, this dissertation maintains that the GDR’s ‘Prussia-Renaissance’ unfolded as a largely improvised and convoluted process that depended in large part on interactions between ‘top-down’ policy and ‘bottom-up’ initiative. It argues that the GDR’s politics of history during the ‘late socialist’ era were conditioned by a dramatic shift in public attitudes towards the past and its symbols that political leaders tried to capture and imbue with a distinctly ‘socialist’ purpose. In this way, the study explores how the proliferation of new historical practices and policies were in fact symptomatic of deeper changes in the ways that the German past was collectively understood and contested in communist East Germany. Finally, it situates the GDR’s ‘Prussia-Renaissance’ within an international context of changing relationships to, and uses of, the past throughout the 1970s and 1980s, and in this way seeks to employ the ‘Prussia-Renaissance’ to reintegrate the GDR into a more transnational European story that transcends the Iron Curtain.

description: The project aimed to provide a mechanistic understanding of the effect of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress on the differentiation of trophoblast stem cells (TSCs), placental development, and subsequent pregnancy outcome. To address this question, I first used an in vitro mouse TSC model. Morphological observations suggest that upon ER stress, TSCs lose stemness by differentiating into specialized trophoblast cell subtypes. Second, I used an in vivo Eif2s1tm1RjK mouse model that exhibits chronic ER stress.Third, I induced ER stress using a more physiological stress inducer in pre-implantation wild-type embryos for 48h in vitro, which results in a significantly smaller TE stem cell pool, and increased expression of Grp78, Atf4 and Atf6a UPR markers. The phenotype was partially rescued by addition of a chaperone to the culture medium. In conclusion, both the in vitro and in vivo models demonstrate that ER stress perturbs differentiation of TS cells at the blastocyst stage, with consequences for placental morphogenesis and fetal development. Pilot studies using a stress-relieving chaperone indicate that therapeutic interventions may be possible.

description: The organic food market is rapidly expanding all over the world with the recent rise of concern in food safety and environmental protection. Thus, examining information about consumers’ awareness on organic food is one of the inspiring areas for producers and marketers to capture a greater market share successfully. Therefore, this study aimed at analyzing the consumer awareness towards organic food products while addressing socio-demographic factors affecting consumer awareness on organic food, knowledge of consumers about organic food, and their purchasing pattern. A sample of 600 consumers was selected from the main cities of six urban districts in Sri Lanka for the study. Data were collected via a consumer survey using a pre-tested questionnaire, from November 2018 to May 2019. The data analysis was carried out using frequencies, percentages, and multiple linear regression analysis. According to the results, the majority of the respondents were married females. The results revealed that Sri Lankan consumers have a better awareness on organic food. The results of the regression analysis highlighted that the consumers’ awareness is significantly affected by factors such as gender, marital status, education, and monthly income. Although most respondents have a good level of awareness on organic food, their buying trend is at a lower level. The findings of the study play an important role in promoting the organic food market and are essential for food marketing planners, researchers, and policymakers to enhance the organic food industry in the country in the future.

description: Competition in the global era requires in every local government to have a competitive advantage to maintain its existence. The strategic solution in facing this competition is to strengthen the brand as the identity of a city. City Branding is the right step in completing the selling power of a city. Seeing the City of Branding in Surabaya is one of the policies of the City of Branding in Indonesia, it is necessary to evaluate the policy problems that have been taken. In terms of public policy, communication becomes important so that public policy can work and have an impact on development. This study looks at the level of awareness of the people of Surabaya in the City of Branding they already have. The method used is a survey method with a sample of 600 respondents. The results of this study indicate that the city policy of "Sparkling Surabaya" carried out by the Surabaya city government is carried out through efforts to maximize the use of communication and resources. The communication carried out by the Surabaya City government to introduce the "Sparkling Surabaya" city branding generally uses billboards or billboards, in addition they also communicate through government offices and other public services. While the resources (resources) as a support of efforts to popularize the city branding "Sparkling Surabaya" to the community. Resource facilities and infrastructure used for example, are media facilities for city branding "Sparkling Surabaya" to the public using television, radio, internet and other facilities and infrastructure. So that the existence of these resources can realize the effectiveness of policy communication that has been carried out to realize the success of the Surabaya City branding development. Because without the support of resources, the implementation of the city branding policy "Sparkling Surabaya" even though it has been well communicated to the target group but still will not run effectively.
From disorder to order: the importance of context in protein folding and binding mechanisms

Intrinsically Disordered Proteins

description: Anfinsen’s seminal work has shown that the information required for a protein to fold into its specific three-dimensional structure is encoded into its amino acid sequence. The protein structure was believed to determine its activity, meaning that a protein needs to fold in order to function. More recently, intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) have been shown to represent a significant portion of the proteome. Despite the lack of a predefined structure, they still play important roles in cellular function, challenging the structure-function paradigm. Proteins are largely studied in isolated conditions, but in a cellular environment they are part of a vastly more complex system. The work presented here aims to shed light on how context can influence folding and binding mechanisms. First, we used SasG – a bacterial protein that defies the disorder prediction with its unique sequence composition and unusual structure – as a template to investigate co-translational folding, and how the presence of the ribosome can affect its folding mechanism. SasG in vitro translation was investigated utilising force profile experiments. We showed that both the G52 and E-G52 constructs can fold very early, when still inside the vestibule of the ribosome. Moreover, our results suggest that non-native interactions can also provide sufficient force to release the stall sequence. Next we employed protein members of the BCL-2 family – involved in controlling the cell death mechanism – to understand what encodes a coupled folding and binding reaction. Although displaying a variety of conformations, some IDPs can fold upon binding to a partner protein. Promiscuous binding is a great advantage of disordered molecules, as multiple IDPs are able to bind and fold to the same partner protein. This raises the question of what orchestrates a coupled folding and binding reaction: the IDP or the partner protein? Using phi-value analysis we studied four IDP-partner protein complexes, composed of alternative pairs of BCL-2 family members. In the bimolecular context, the disordered protein dictates the transition state interactions. Therefore, analogous to Anfinsen’s postulate, the folding pathway is encoded by the protein that folds, even when binding to another macromolecule is required. Finally, studies of the BCL-2 member BID on its full-length context showed that it cannot interact with its partner A1 unless it is cleaved (tBID). These results provide insights on the role of tBID as a player during programmed cell death and hence why the pathway of cleaving BID with caspase is energetically favourable.
Measurement of the top quark forward-backward production asymmetry and the anomalous chromoelectric and chromomagnetic moments in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV

description: The parton-level top quark (t) forward-backward asymmetry and the anomalous chromoelectric ($\hat{d}_\mathrm{t}$) and chromomagnetic ($\hatμ_\mathrm{t}$) moments have been measured using LHC pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected in the CMS detector in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. The linearized variable $A_\mathrm{FB}^{(1)}$ is used to approximate the asymmetry. Candidate $\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$ events decaying to a muon or electron and jets in final states with low and high Lorentz boosts are selected and reconstructed using a fit of the kinematic distributions of the decay products to those expected for $\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$ final states. The values found for the parameters are $A_\mathrm{FB}^{(1)} =$ 0.048 $^{+0.095}_{-0.087}$ (stat) $^{+0.020}_{-0.029}$ (syst), $\hatμ_\mathrm{t} =-$ 0.024 $^{+0.013}_{-0.009}$ (stat) $^{+0.016}_{-0.011}$ (syst), and a limit is placed on the magnitude of $|\hat{d}_\mathrm{t}|$ $

description: Purpose: Cannabis is the most prevalent drug in the world and its consumption is growing. Cannabinoid receptors are present in the human central nervous system. Recent studies show evidence of the effects of cannabinoids on the retina, and synthesising the results of these studies may be relevant for ophthalmologists. Thus, this review adopts standardised, systematic review methodology to investigate the effects of exposure to cannabis and components on the retina. Methods: We searched five online databases for the combined terms for outcome (“retina”) and exposure (“cannabis”). Eligibility of studies were conducted by two independent reviewers, and risk of bias was assessed. Results: We retrieved 495 studies, screened 229 studies, assessed 52 studies for eligibility, and included 16 studies for qualitative analysis. The cannabinoids most frequently investigated were delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), abnormal cannabidiol, synthetic cannabinoid, and cannabidiol (CDB). The outcomes most studied were neuroretinal dysfunction, followed by vascular effects. The studies also included investigation of neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects and teratogenic effects. Conclusions: This review suggests that cannabinoids may have an important role in retinal processing and function.

description: We discuss the classical cosmological tests for a large class of FRW type models driven by a decaying vacuum energy density. Analytic expressions for the lookback time, age of the universe, luminosity distance, angular diameter, and galaxy number counts versus redshift are derived and their meaning discussed in detail. It is found that the standard FRW results are significantly altered, showing that such tests may constrain the physical parameters of these models which are also in agreement to the accelerated expansion suggested by the latest SNe type Ia observations.

description: We demonstrate that the classification of boosted, hadronically-decaying weak gauge bosons can be significantly improved over traditional cut-based and BDT-based methods using deep learning and the jet charge variable. We construct binary taggers for $W^+$ vs. $W^-$ and $Z$ vs. $W$ discrimination, as well as an overall ternary classifier for $W^+$/$W^-$/$Z$ discrimination. Besides a simple convolutional neural network (CNN), we also explore a composite of two CNNs, with different numbers of layers in the jet $p_{T}$ and jet charge channels. We find that this novel structure boosts the performance particularly when considering the $Z$ boson as signal. The methods presented here can enhance the physics potential in SM measurements and searches for new physics that are sensitive to the electric charge of weak gauge bosons.

description: Economic illiteracy is abundant in farm management analysis. Failure to understand that economics is the core discipline of farm-management analysis and failure to apply the whole-farm approach leads to wrong questions being asked and wrong answers being given. The power of economic thinking is in making sense of resource allocation questions in farm systems characterised by much complexity and powerful dynamics. The challenge for those who continue to work in farm management economics is to re-establish theoretically sound farm-management analysis based on economics as the core discipline.
