description: Detection of the SARS-Cov-2 virus (which causes COVID-19) in European mink farms led to mass cullings of mink
and fur bans in Israel, Europe, and some U.S. cities. U.S. mink pelt trade and production were already in decline
pre-pandemic, while global exports of fur goods were increasing steadily. A growing list of production and sales
bans alongside steady demand for fur goods (of which mink is the primary fur material) in Asian markets leave
the direction of the global industry uncertain.
Forest Road Sediment Production and its Implications
Creators: name: Hansen, Kyle
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Preventing forest road erosion requires an in-depth understanding of how road design, construction, weather, maintenance and deactivation affect sediment production. Four road components that are potential problem areas are: road surfaces, fillslopes, cutslopes, and roadside ditches. In order to assess and compare origins of sediment production and the effectiveness of each proposed treatment, GIS is used to analyze sediment production from forests roads and its impact on streams. In order to evaluate terrain stability, a SINMAP method is used to calculate the relative wetness of the site based on input including: slope, area, and parameters of steady state hydrology. To prevent fillslope erosion, the treatments in order of increasing effectiveness include: straw with asphalt tack, straw with a net or mat, straw alone, erosion control mats, wood chips or rock, and hydromulch. Similar treatments were applied to cutslopes with the exception of those too difficult to apply to the typically steeper gradients. Road surfaces were treated with layers of crushed rock which proved to mitigate the effects of surface erosion. Roadside ditches were also treated with surfacing in an attempt to either reduce the velocity of runoff water or cover the ditch bottoms thus preventing scouring. Ultimately, the prevention of sediment production, erosion and negative effects on slope stability and stream contamination requires proper planning, design and research by the Forest Professional.
Does having a Choice make a Difference? Market Potential of the Animal Welfare Label in Germany

description: This paper investigates the effects of the introduction of a specific animal welfare label on consumer decision making when shopping for pork. Based on two empirical studies, we analyze whether substitution effects between organic, regional, and animal welfare products have to be expected under current market conditions. Our results show that persons with preference for animal welfare decide significantly more often for the animal welfare or the organic product, not for local, and that organic heavy buyers do not differ from rest of sample with respect to animal welfare or local choice. The animal welfare label as stand-alone selling proposition may be too weak to create value added. Based on the examination of interaction terms, we find that organic does not gain by combination with an animal welfare label, whereas regional labels are not associated yet with animal welfare and would profit more by including an additional informational cue. We tentatively conclude that animal welfare programs should be embedded in regional marketing programs.

“AgBalance – My Virtual Farm”. A Simulation Game for a Competition of Students and Scientists in Order to gain Insights into the Concept of Tradeoffs in Sustainable Agriculture
Creators: name: Frank, Markus
Publisher: name: CentMa, Intern Center for Management, Communication, and Research
Year: 2016

description: AgBalance comprises a multi-criteria life cycle based approach in combination with a defined aggregation and summary of single results into a single sustainability score (Frank et al. 2012). AgBalanceTM delivers results that enable farmers, the food industry, politicians and society to objectively evaluate processes in terms of their sustainability profile. In doing so, a vast amount of information on individual factors can be ascertained in addition to overall statements on the sustainability of agricultural practices (e. g. ploughing). AgBalance was finalized in mid of 2011. In September 2011, the methodology was given independent assurance by the global expert agencies such as DNV Business Assurance. AgBalanceTM can be used to map an individual farm or the whole agricultural sector in one region, for example. The focus can either be on the agricultural production system alone or on the processes that have established themselves downstream in the value chain, such as logistics or processing. Measuring sustainability can be a central key to steady improvements towards sustainable agriculture. It is therefore an essential requirement that it succeeds in translating results from complicated life-cycle analyses into farmers’ everyday reality and to derive specific recommendations for action from this. Novel IT solutions are required in order to make use of LCA-based knowledge for a more sustainable crop management on-farm. This is the basic idea of the online game “AgBalance – My Virtual Farm”.

description: The component Allee effect (AE) is the positive correlation between an organism's fitness component and population density. Depending on the population spatial structure, which determines the interactions between organisms, a component AE might lead to positive density-dependence in the population per capita growth rate and establish a demographic AE. However, existing spatial models impose a fixed population spatial structure, which limits the understanding of how a component AE and spatial dynamics jointly determine the existence of demographic AEs. We introduce a spatially explicit theoretical framework where spatial structure and population dynamics are emergent properties of the individual-level demographic and movement rates. This framework predicts various spatial patterns depending on its specific parameterization, including evenly spaced aggregates of organisms, that determine the demographic-level by-products of the component AE. We find that aggregation increases population abundance and allows population survival in harsher environments and at lower global population densities when compared with uniformly distributed organisms. Moreover, aggregation can prevent the component AE from manifesting at the population level or restrict it to the level of each independent aggregate. These results provide a mechanistic understanding of how component AEs might operate for different spatial structures and manifest at larger scales.

description: Expo is the Universal Exhibition that the city of Milan hosted from May to October, 2015, under the theme: “Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life”. Nevertheless, if the big event is important for awakening the world's interest and attracting investment, much attention is dedicated to the “ Expo after Expo” phase, with the aim to keep alive the public discussion on the these crucial issues even by the end of the exposition period.
In summary, what will be the legacies of Expo 2015? This work takes an innovative approach to this question by analysing Twitter data focusing on the “after Expo” period. More specifically, the analysis of the distribution in the Twitter sphere of a set of food-related topics (right to food, sustainability, food losses as examples) is performed. Results can represent an opportunity to understand if the discussion of the global challenges linked to the theme of Expo Milano 2015 can also bring lasting benefits in terms of public awareness.

description: Agricultural activities within the city boundaries have a long history in both developed and developing countries. Especially in developing countries these activities contribute to food security and the mitigation of malnutrition (food grown for home consumption). They generate additional income and contribute to recreation, environmental health as well as social interaction. In this paper, a broad approach of Urban AgriCulture is used, which includes the production of crops in urban and peri-urban areas and ranges in developed countries from allotment gardens (Schrebergarten) over community gardens (Urban Gardening) to semi-entrepreneurial self-harvest farms and fully commercialized agriculture (Urban Farming). Citizens seek to make a shift from traditional to new (sustainable) forms of food supply. From this evolves a demand for urban spaces that can be used agriculturally. The way how these citizens’ initiatives can be supported and their contribution to a resilient and sustainable urban food system increasingly attracts attention. This paper presents an empirical case study on Urban AgriCulture initiatives in the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg region (Germany). Urban AgriCulture is still a niche movement with the potential to contribute more significantly to urban development and constitute a pillar of urban quality of life.

How do Farmers interact with Input Suppliers: Some Evidence from the Dairy Sector in Poland
Creators: name: Malak-Rawlikowska, Agata
name: Milczarek-Andrzejewska, Dominika
Publisher: name: CentMa, Intern Center for Management, Communication, and Research
Year: 2016

description: The extensive and growing literature on food supply chain has been mainly focused on relations between farmers, processing and retail sectors. Various studies have investigated for example the determinants of supply chain relationships (e.g. Dries et al., 2014) and a situation of small-scale producers in the face of rapid supply chain restructuring (e.g. Briones, 2015; Vorley et al., 2007). However, a systematic understanding of how farmers interact with input suppliers is very scarce. In response to this, the paper aims at improving our knowledge about farmers’ relations with input suppliers.
The specific example that we examine comes from the Polish dairy sector, which seems to be particularly well suited for investigating relationships within the food value chain. On the one hand, fragmented structure of local farms, and poor income situation of small agricultural holdings are frequently emphasised (Milczarek-Andrzejewska, 2014). On the other hand, Polish dairy and feed sectors have undergone a thorough modernisation (Dries et al., 2011; Piwowar 2013). Rising farmer demand (due to production technology change being necessitated by milk productivity improvement) and increased competition in the feed sector have led to new vertical relations between the farm and feed production segments. Vertical coordination took many forms, including contracting, advisory programs, financial support etc. However, the existing theoretical and empitical literature on vertical spillovers through backward linkages (i.e. from buyers to suppliers) is scarce and focused on manufacturing (Kuijpers, Swinnen, 2016; Jarzębowski, 2013).
A study on the relationship between dairy farmers and feed producers means that we examine also the relations between two agri-food chains. These two – dairy and feed – supply chains are vertically connected. The feed supply chain ends at the farm level where the feed is finally used in the milk production process, and where the dairy supply chain starts. Our study allows then to characterize the “boundary” segments of supply chains.

description: As a major agricultural subsector, milk production plays an important role in the EU 28. Political decisions such as the aboli-tion of the milk quota system in 2015, highly volatile milk prices and fierce international competition have led to challenges for both farmers and dairies and a need to improve competitiveness. The concept of sustainability in the form of a produc-tion standard can be seen as a means for both dairy farmers and dairies to gain competitive advantages and meet stake-holders’ demands. Farmers’ acceptance of a sustainability standard is an important factor for its successful implementation. Therefore, future-oriented farmers are an important target group for dairies. This study investigates future-oriented dairy farmers’ acceptance of a comprehensive sustainability standard and, based on their responses, categorizes farmers into three different clusters: ‘halfhearted sustainability proponents’, ‘highly dedicated sustainability proponents’ and ‘profit-oriented sustainability refusers’. Further analysis provides insights into the determinants of farmers’ acceptance of a sus-tainability standard. The results of this study provide manifold starting points for deriving managerial implications for dair-ies and the implementation of sustainability standards.

Efficiency and Capital Structure in the Italian Cereal Sector

Year: 2016

description: Farm capital structure may have contrasting effects on farm efficiency as a strand of the farm efficiency literature as pointed out ( for a review see for example Davidova and Latruffe 2007). Farmers often use external funding both to cover productions costs and to finance investments (machinery, equipment, buildings) to enhance farm economic performance. The debt is necessary to maintain or improve farm productivity and competitiveness by adopting technological innovation needed to increase farm efficiency. At the same time leverage may affects farm efficiency by influencing farm production decision constrained by lower farm expenditure capacity. In this case, farms response may rely on reducing the necessary expenditures to maintain the production assets with negative consequences on farm productivity, growth and efficiency. Finally, farm leverage may affects the farms capacity to react to market shocks adopting the needed strategic adjustments to maintain productivity, efficiency and competitiveness. A relevant case study for assessing this last effect would be the recent surge in price volatility that affected European and world cereal markets starting from 2008.
The objective of this paper is to provide new empirical evidence on the relationship between farm capital structure and farm efficiency. In particular we will try to answer the following research question: does higher leverage lead to better performance? The food price volatility that has affected the cereal market from 2008 onwards is a possible stress for cereal farms that must adapt to the rapid drop in prices such as the one observed in 2010. Our research provide a first insight on the evolution of the cereal farms debt-technical efficiency relationship in times of high price volatility.

An Investigation into the Dynamics of EU Agricultural Imports from Mediterranean Partner Countries
Creators: name: Mili, Samir
Publisher: name: CentMa, Intern Center for Management, Communication, and Research
Year: 2016

description: This contribution explores the buyer side of the value chains for the main agricultural products sourced from the Mediterranean Partner Countries (MPCs) in North Africa and Middle East into the EU, taking Spain as study case of these European import flows. Using the Global Value Chain (GVC) approach, it provides new survey-based evidence for better understanding and profiling the opportunities and constraints for these trade flows, and therefore deriving implications to improve the efficiency of the target value chains both in origin and in destination. Primary information has been gathered using two complementary methods. First, a buyer survey has been conducted through structured questionnaires directed to major Spanish importing and trading companies of orange, strawberry, tomato and olive oil sourced from Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt and Turkey. Subsequently, survey results have been supplemented by in depth, semi-structured interviews to a representative group of knowledgeable experts from the academic, public administration and business sectors. Results show differences depending on the product and the country studied. The approach used has been efficient in fulfilling the research objectives. It complements conventional quantitative inquiries where available evidence reveals serious difficulties to conduct thorough empirical analysis of the functioning of this trade with quantitative models. It is shown that the suggested approach is an alternative avenue to overcome these difficulties.

The Environmental Impact of Paper Waste Recycling: A Comparative Study
Creators: name: MacEachern, Neil
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: This paper aims to quantify the environmental impact of recycling paper in Canada versus other paper waste management options using the indicators of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Analysis was carried out comparing recycling to landfill, landfill with methane capture, energy-from-waste, cogeneration, and the use of conserved timber for energy. A review was done of existing paper life cycle analyses, as well as original calculations using data from refereed and Canadian government sources. It was found that recycling, based on energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, does reduce environmental impact, but that this benefit can be increased by recycling fibre multiple times, and through the integration of more than one management method.

Enterprise Architecture in Enterprise Engineering

Publisher: name: Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. (The German Informatics Society)
Year: 2015

description: Originating from quite different fields of theory and practice, the terms "Enterprise Ontology" and "Enterprise Architecture" currently belong to the standard vocabulary of those professionals who are concerned with (re)designing and (re)engineering enterprises, thereby exploiting modern information and communication technologies for innovating products and services as well as for optimizing operational performance. Because of the inherent characteristics of modern enterprises, often operating within networks of cooperating enterprises, the task of these professionals can rightly be characterized as having to master unprecedented high complexity. The statement, put forward in the paper, that the current notion of Enterprise Architecture does not offer satisfactory help and thus need to evolve into an effective conceptual tool, is clarified in a historical context. In order to let Enterprise Architecture become a sensible, effective notion, complementary to Enterprise Ontology, it is proposed to define it conceptually as normative restriction of design freedom, and operationally as a coherent and consistent set of design principles. The new, evolved notion of Enterprise Architecture is clarified and illustrated using a case example.

description: This research demonstrates that Ising machines can effectively solve optimal elemental configuration searches in crystals, with Au-Cu alloys serving as an example. The energy function is derived using the cluster expansion method in the form of a QUBO function, enabling efficient problem-solving via Ising machines. We have successfully obtained reasonable solutions for crystal structures consisting of over 10,000 atoms. Notably, we have also obtained plausible solutions for optimization problems with constrained solutions, such as situations where the composition ratio of atomic species is predetermined. These findings suggest that Ising machines can be valuable tools for addressing materials science challenges.

description: The global analogue of a Henselian local ring is a Henselian pair-a ring R and an ideal I which satisfy a condition resembling Hensel's lemma regarding lifting coprime factorizations of monic polynomials over R/I to factorizations over R. The geometric counterpart is the notion of a Henselian scheme, which can serve as a substitute for formal schemes in applications such as deformation theory. In this paper we prove a GAGA-style cohomology comparison result for Henselian schemes in positive characteristic, making use of a "Henselian étale" topology defined in previous work in order to leverage exactness of finite pushforward for abelian sheaves in the étale topology of schemes. We will also discuss algebraizability of coherent sheaves on the Henselization of a proper scheme, proving (without a positive characteristic restriction) algebraizability for coherent subsheaves. We can then deduce a Henselian version of Chow's theorem on algebraization and the algebraizability of maps between Henselizations of proper schemes.

Characterizing Tumour Vessels using MRI and Histology - A novel dual injection MR protocol to study tumour blood vessel permeability

Year: 2009

description: Galbumin, an MR contrast agent is characterized for use in a new class of animal MR experiments. It’s suitability as both a T1 and T2 agent was assessed and it was found that although Galbumin’s relaxivity (4.33 to 5.77 (mM · sec)−1 was comparable to Gd-DTPA, the solution was not available at a high enough concentration to achieve similar T1 weighted effects. Further, it was deemed an unworthy candidate for T2 -weighted imaging as it’s magnetic susceptibility was much too low (2.95 ppm/mM). Finally, we established a theoretical basis for a novel dual contrast agent MR protocol to investigate blood vessel permeability, extracted from previously published work [1] on modelling MR contrast agents. The over-arching goal of this study is to use the live imaging capabilities of MR combined with traditional immunohistochemical techniques to more accurately characterize tumour vessel permeability.

description: Enterprise architecture (EA) provides a powerful basis to transform an organization and to continually align the organization to external and internal demands. The process of transformation can effectively and efficiently be supported by appropriate EA methods. There is however no "one-size-fits-all" method, which is suitable to support all kinds of transformations in all kinds of organizations. Different project types and different context types require different methods – or at least different configurations or adaptations of a method. Based on an exploratory empirical analysis, we classify three different EA scenarios in this article. The identified EA scenarios can provide the basis for situational EA method engineering.

Striking the right balance: An exploration of novel protonolysis precursors for CpCr(LX) complexes
Creators: name: Therrien, Jeffrey A.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Directed ortho-metallation is a convenient route to Li(Ar-L) salts (where Ar is an aryl group), which may be used to synthesize CpCr(Ar-L) complexes by salt metathesis with chromium dichloride and sodium cyclopentadienylide. Some of these complexes have precedent as effective protonolysis precursors to CpCr(LX) complexes (where LX is a bidentate monoanionic ligand), providing a clean and direct synthetic pathway to the exploration of various anionic, bidentate ligand sets. Through the course of this investigation several new CpCr(Ar-L) complexes were rationally designed and synthesized, revealing unanticipated and undesired reactivity modes regarding the targeted protonolysis reactions. This discovery, by providing insight into the protonolysis reaction mechanism, led to the development of new CpCr(L)(X) complexes (where L is a neutral monodentate ligand, and X is an anionic monodentate ligand) through a number of synthetic routes. X-ray diffraction analysis of single crystals obtained from the attempted synthesis of CpCr(Mes)(L) (where Mes is 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl) derivative revealed a dimerized structure, suggesting that the complex contains the sought-after property of neutral ligand lability. These complexes have shown promise as a protonolysis precursor to CpCr(LX) compounds previously found unobtainable by less subtle salt metathesis pathways.
On the Interplay of Organizational Architecture and Software Architecture

description: Enterprise architecture frameworks sometimes provide an additional architectural layer between business-oriented artefact types (e.g., business processes, organizational units) and technical artefact types (e.g., software components, data structures). This "integration" or "alignment" layer is intended to bridge the gap, which results from different life cycles, different ownerships, and other sources of IT/business misalignment. The development of specific models and artefact types on the integration layer is in its early stage. Existing methods for information systems design constitute a first starting point. However, most of them lack a clear differentiation between the integration layer and the software layer and therefore cannot be reused as-is. This paper contributes to the research of design methods, models, and artefact type specifications for the integration layer. The focus lies primarily on the alignment of organizational architecture and structural software architecture, two important components of enterprise architecture. A comparison of organizational and software architecture design methods yields that both types of structures are usually constructed according to different design criteria so that un-aligned architectures result. Traditional integration artefacts, such as "logical" applications, which specify coherent areas of ownership over software artefacts, are too closely linked to actual software system structures and therefore usually fail in aligning with the organizational architecture. It is argued in this paper that instead, integration artefacts should be much more decoupled from actual software structures.

Best Practices for Business and Systems Analysis in Projects Conforming to Enterprise Architecture

Year: 2015

description: This paper aims to identify best practices for performing business and systems analysis in projects that are required to comply with Enterprise Architecture. We apply two qualitative research methods to study real-life projects conforming to architecture at Statistics Netherlands. First, a Canonical Action Research approach is applied to participate in two business process redesign projects. Second, we use Focus Group interviews to elicit knowledge about carrying out projects conforming to architecture. Based on this empirical research we present seven observations and ten best practices. The best practices point to the fact that project conformance is not only the responsibility of project members, but also of enterprise architects. Considering four levels of best practices (good idea, good practice, local best practice, industry best practice), we argue that our guidelines are located at the second (good practice) level. More research is required to prove or falsify them in other settings.

An Evaluation Framework for Enterprise Architecture Modelling
Creators: name: Wolff, Frank

description: Enterprise architecture management requires an extensive amount of information which concern distinct domains like company strategy, business processes, and IT-systems. To support management with essential information enterprise architecture models are reckoned almost indispensable. However, the creation and maintenance of an encompassing enterprise architecture model has proven to be a challenging task. Very prominent appears to be the diversity of influential factors and the involved long time period. The evaluation framework presented in this article is following a holistic approach integrating relevant technical and social factors. In addition, the complex task of controlling the evolution of the models and their usage is incorporated. The process of judging the economic impact and interdependencies is supported by the new concept of evaluation chains. To make them directly applicable to the domain a dedicated reference evaluation chain based on an extensive compilation of existing knowledge on economic relationships in enterprise architecture modelling is proposed.

description: Various economic theories and many approaches in the study of food chains have produced, over the years, a variety of models.
They are used as tools for analysis and forecasting, and often offer a basis for the development in software of various kinds.
In an earlier stage of our field research we developed a model mapping the dense network of links connecting the actors of the
supply chains of products of animal origin of the Italian territory. An initial version of the model has shown the basic characteristics
of the system and already provided a number of interesting insights (Clemente et al., 2015a, 2015b). The Eva.CAN model
(Evaluation of Complex Agro‐food Networks) is a complex network model representing together the chains of milk (cow, goat,
sheep and buffalo), and beef and pig meat along with all their products, fresh and matured, in which the links represent the
economic exchanges between the different actors.
In this next phase of analysis our aim is to show, in particular, a study of the structure of the Italian pig meat sector (fresh and cured
products), the dynamics of import of raw materials and export of processed products, and also those of consumption on the Italian
territory. A special attention is given to our PDO products, considered among the best in the World as for quality and quantity. The
pig production in Italy reached 1.6 million tons. The meat of more than 70% of the bred animals is destined to the production of
PDO products (In Italy the PDO products are 21 out of a total of 36 European). The industry imports nearly 1.2 million tons of meat that is intended in part to fresh consumption and in part to the transformation. In the analysis we use a higher amount of actual data pertaining to a greater number of years compared to the previous works.
We apply network analytic methods to assess the topology (structural characteristics) of the network which is known to affect the overall functionality and dynamics (Newman, 2010). For the analysis of the sector it is important to understand what is the mix of processed products destined to domestic consumption and exports that allow the company to get the best economic performance.
On this basis a series of simulations can provide different development scenarios. The evidence resulting from these allows examining possible strategic suggestions for what concerns business management and policies to be adopted in the whole sector.

description: Semiconductor detectors are one of the most commonly used particle sensors that have found their mass application in almost all major experiments in high-energy physics. Modifications of the electrode geometry by adding a thin highly doped p+ layer and technological innovations of the standard silicon detectors led to the development of a new concept - Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGAD). The characteristics of LGAD detectors are still the subject of extensive research. A comprehensive study on the possibility of using up to now unused technique for characterization purposes is presented in this thesis. Techniques for silicon detector characterization have predominantly relied on the laser methods such as Transient Current Technique (TCT) and quite recently Two-Photon Absorbsion TCT. In this thesis, a great potential of the Ion Beam Induced Charge (IBIC) technique for future characterization of LGAD detectors is shown. 50 um active thickness (200 um total thickness) LGAD sensors with one electrode or four electrodes (arranged in 2x2 array configuration) with a nominal intrepad distance of 50 um were tested. The microprobe system at the Rudjer Boskovic Institute delivered different energies for the proton and carbon ion beams so that the 2D charge collection efficiency maps were obtained for shallow and deep probing. In the vicinity of the interpad region, the two different doses of irradiation were performed with the carbon ions so that a damage of 3.1e11 ions/cm2 and 6.3e11 ions/cm2 was introduced. As a consequence of the induced damage, the charge collection efficiency degradation was studied. The dependence of the interpad measurements on the penetration depths was demonstrated using proton beams with various energies. It was observed that the interpad distance increases with the penetration depth of ions. This result confirms the previously established hypotheses regarding the bending the electric field lines towards Junction Termination Extension (JTE). The dead layer thickness was determined by manipulating the angular distribution of the beam. The obtained results indicated the existence of the screening effect of the electric field and its dependence on the ionization density produced by the beam.

The Two-Body Universal Energy Spectrum of Interacting Ultracold Atoms Near Feshbach Resonances
Creators: name: Han, Alex C.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In this undergraduate thesis, we discuss the two-body quantum mechanical problem of two ultra- cold bosonic atoms at low energy limit, interacting through a square potential with and without an external confinement. The two-body s-wave scattering length is introduced in terms of the radial wavefunction. In free space with no confinement, the interaction-scattering length relation is calculated and compared in 3- and 1-dimensions; we show the recurring resonance regions where the scattering length diverges and the existence of dimer bound state with positively large scattering length. Lastly, in the case of a 3-dimensional isotropic harmonic confinement, again under the ultracold limit, we obtain the universal (s-state) energy spectrum of the two atoms in terms of the scattering length.

description: Riker (2023) provides a modeling framework for estimating the exposure of different
groups of U.S. workers to international trade using employment-weighted averages of
the trade intensities of U.S. manufacturing industries. In this paper, we reapply this
model in a retrospective analysis. We estimate the short-run impact of rising international trade costs on U.S. manufacturing imports from 2021 to 2022 on the employment of U.S. workers in groups defined by their race, sex, age, and educational attainment. We also introduce two extensions to the model. First, we quantify the dilution
of the employment effects in an all-worker average that includes non-manufacturing
workers. Second, we model the effects of changes in trade costs on imported intermediate goods, as well as changes in trade costs on imported final goods.

description: Regular black holes are singularity-free black hole spacetimes proposed to solve the problem of the presence of spacetime singularities that plagues the black holes of general relativity and most theories of gravity. In this work, we consider the regular black holes recently proposed by Mazza, Franzin & Liberati and we extend previous studies to get a more stringent observational constraint on the regularization parameter $l$. We study simultaneous observations of NuSTAR and Swift of the Galactic black hole in GX 339-4 during its outburst in 2015. The quality of the NuSTAR data is exceptionally good and the spectrum of the source presents both a strong thermal component and prominent relativistically blurred reflection features. This permits us to measure the regularization parameter $l$ from the simultaneous analysis of the thermal spectrum and the reflection features. From our analysis, we find the constraint $l/M < 0.44$ (90% CL), which is stronger than previous constraints inferred with X-ray and gravitational wave data.
