Relationship between creditworthiness, financial market development and institutional arrangements: A cross -country analysis
Creators: name: Coulibaly, Kalamogo
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The dissertation postulates that there is simultaneity between creditworthiness in developing countries and financial development. Well-functioning financial markets might improve a country's credit ratings, and higher credit ratings might induce greater financial development. Two existing models are modified to test for the possible directions of the causality. The first model is a model of country risk analysis. This model is modified to include financial development as an additional explanatory variable. The second model includes a set of variables as explanatory factors of financial development. This model is modified by incorporating a country's creditworthiness as a plausible factor affecting financial development. To correct for the co-determination between the creditworthiness of the government and financial development, the Generalized Method of Moments with Instrumental Variables (GMM) is used to estimate the models. Findings based on a sample of 31 developing countries for the period 1990--97 show that there is no clear-cut impact that financial market development has on the creditworthiness of developing countries' governments. Furthermore, findings based on a sample of 17 developing countries for the period 1990--97 show that a one unit rise in a country's creditworthiness is estimated to improve financial development by a magnitude which varies between 0.045 and 0.32, depending on the proxy for financial development. Sustained and successful privatization could be a vehicle for financial development through four main channels: (i) the direct sales of State-Owned Enterprises; (ii) the listing of newly privatized companies on the stock exchange; (iii) the issuance of new stock shares; and (iv) the creation of a business-friendly environment by offering law enforcement, ensuring property rights and building reliable institutions.

description: Dark matter could have a small electromagnetic charge, provided the charge-to-mass ratio is much less than that of electrons or protons. This candidate, commonly known as millicharged dark matter (mDM), would form a plasma and interact with the interstellar medium and electromagnetic fields within galaxies. In general, understanding the dynamics of mDM requires consideration of collective plasma effects. It has been proposed that mDM can be accelerated in supernova remnants, forming a dark cosmic ray population that would leave distinct experimental signatures. In this work, we study a microphysical model where mDM is shocked by a supernova remnant and isotropized in the frame of the expanding fluid. We find that for $|q_χ/m_χ| \gtrsim 10^{-13} e / {\rm MeV}$, the isotropization length for electromagnetic plasma instabilities is much shorter than the size of the supernova remnant. This is a necessary, though not sufficient, first step for formation of a Fermi-accelerated mDM component, and determining the size of this component requires further study. We discuss additional implications of mDM interactions in supernova remnants.

description: In this paper we conduct a simulation experiment to quantitatively assess the impacts of reallocating budgetary resources within Pillar 1 of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) from direct income support to a direct greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction subsidy for EU farmers. Although such a budgetary shift is not foreseen in the current political discussions on the future CAP post 2020, the analysis is motivated by calls for both an increased contribution from the agricultural sector to combat global warming, and a more incentive-based delivery system for direct payments. For the analysis, we apply a partial equilibrium model for the agricultural sector (CAPRI) covering both the EU farming sector with high geographical detail as well as global food commodity markets. An integrated emission accounting for EU agriculture and global agri-food products, as well as optional technological GHG mitigation options for EU farmers make CAPRI specifically suitable for the impact assessment. For the scenario we assess a policy that removes the basic direct payments under Pillar 1 of the current CAP and provides farmers a GHG-saving subsidy instead, without increasing the total budget for direct payments. A major empirical contribution of the paper is the calculation of budget-neutral subsidy rates for the hypothetical GHG-reduction subsidy, factoring in farmers' supply and technology-adjusting responses to the policy change. The subsidy rates are derived by combining the regional representative farm models of CAPRI with a Newton-Raphson numerical approximation method that guarantees budget-neutrality. We find that a budget-neutral re-allocation of financial resources towards subsidized emission savings can reduce agricultural non-CO2 emissions by 21% in the EU by 2030, compared to a business-as-usual baseline. Almost two-thirds of the EU emission savings are due to production decreases, and, therefore, part of this GHG reduction is threaten to be offset globally by emission leakage effects. At the aggregated level, the emission-saving subsidy and increased producer prices compensate farmers for the foregone direct income support, but the significant regional differences indicate both an accelerated structural change and heterogeneous income effects in the farm population. We conclude that the assumed regional budget-neutrality condition introduces inefficiencies in the incentive system, and the full potential of the EU farming sector for GHG emissions reduction is not reached in the scenario; leaving ample room for the design of more efficient agricultural policies to combat global warming.
Theory of Vibrationally Inelastic Electron Transport through Molecular Bridges

description: Vibrationally inelastic electron transport through a molecular bridge that is connected to two leads is investigated. The study is based on a generic model of vibrational excitation in resonant transmission of electrons through a molecular junction. Employing methods from electron-molecule scattering theory, the transmittance through the molecular bridge can be evaluated numerically exactly. The current through the junction is obtained approximately using a Landauer-type formula. Considering different parameter regimes, which include both the case of a molecular bridge that is weakly coupled to the leads, resulting in narrow resonance structures, and the opposite case of a broad resonance caused by strong interaction with the leads, we investigate the characteristic effects of coherent and dissipative vibrational motion on the electron transport. Furthermore, the validity of widely used approximations such as the wide-band approximation and the restriction to elastic transport mechanisms is investigated in some detail.

Self-Consistent R-matrix Approach To Photoionization And Unified Electron-Ion Recombination

description: A unified scheme using the R-matrix method has been developed for electron-ion recombination subsuming heretofore separate treatments of radiative and dielectronic recombination (RR and DR). The ab initio coupled channel approach unifies resonant and non-resonant phenomena, and enables a general and self-consistent treatment of photoionization and electron-ion recombination employing idential wavefunction expansion. Detailed balance takes account of interference effects due to resonances in cross sections, calculated explicitly for a large number of recombined (e+ion) bound levels over extended energy regions. The theory of DR by Bell and Seaton is adapted for high-n resonances in the region below series limits. The R-matrix method is employed for (A) partial and total photoionization and photorecombination cross sections of (e+ion) bound levels, and (B) DR and (e+ion) scattering cross sections. Relativistic effects and fine structure are considered in the Breit-Pauli approximation. Effects such as radiation damping may be taken into account where necessary. Unfiied recombination cross sections are in excellent agreement with measurements on ion storage rings to about 10-20%. In addition to high accuracy, the strengths of the method are: (I) both total and level-specific cross sections and rate coefficients are obtained, and (II) a single (e+ion) recombination rate coefficient for any given atom or ion is obtained over the entire temperature range of practical importance in laboratory and astrophysical plasmas, (III) self-consistent results are obtained for photoionization and recombination; comprehensive datasets have been computed for over 50 atoms and ions. Selected data are presented for iron ions.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: The 1/8 BPS $D^6\mathcal{R}^4$ coupling in type II string theory compactified on $T^2$ receives contributions from worldsheet instantons and anti-instantons wrapping the $T^2$, up to genus three in string perturbation theory. These involve contributions separately from bound states of instantons and anti-instantons, which are qualitatively similar to such contributions to the 1/2 and 1/4 BPS couplings. At genus two, the $D^6\mathcal{R}^4$ coupling also receives contributions from instanton/anti-instanton bound states unlike the 1/2 and 1/4 BPS couplings, which is a consequence of a T-duality invariant eigenvalue equation a term in the coupling satisfies. We solve this eigenvalue equation to obtain the complete structure of the worldsheet (anti)instanton contributions. In the type IIB theory, strong weak coupling duality leads to certain contributions involving bound states of D string (anti)instantons wrapping the $T^2$.

The Alt-Right and the Mobilization of Brand Affect: New Balance and Neo-Nazis’ Athleisure Affiliations

description: This article probes American sportswear manufacturer New Balance’s reputational and public relations crisis, which resulted from an executive’s statement of support for Donald Trump’s US-focused trade policies in the aftermath of the 2016 presidential election. Reported consumer backlash to New Balance’s apparent alliance with Trump was exacerbated when neo-Nazi publication The Daily Stormer penned an editorial appropriating New Balance as “the official shoes of White people.” Using theories of affect in social media and consumer culture as a framework, I situate the New Balance case within the current culture wars as enacted in politicized social media threads, as well as prior instances in which alt-right groups have attempted to co-opt sportswear brands’ cultural associations in the service of extremist politics. Performing manual inductive content analysis on a sample of tweets from before the publication of the editorial (n=100) and after (n=77), I illuminate a polarized political division between users in terms of their backlash or endorsement of New Balance’s stance, which correlates with stated anti-Trump or pro-Trump positions, and articulate how users position themselves in terms of a consumer/customer relation to New Balance as brand, while sneakers become a material outlet for consumers to enact their discontent in a mediatized forum.

This approach enhances the stability of the NPs, reduces their size and recognition by the mononuclear phagocytic system, and protects the encapsulated biomolecule against losing biological activity. Different protocols to add the surfactant during the synthesis lead to different NP colloidal properties and biological activity.

description: In this study an attempt was made to develop a typology, grouping Member States based on their implementation choices in Pillar 1 and Pillar 2, which extends previous analysis that were limited to only one of the CAP pillars. The outcomes of the analysis are five clusters consisting of 5 to 8 countries. It turned out to be difficult to detect an overarching pattern in terms of the use of different instruments and measures. From the typology analysis it can be concluded that for the majority of the Member States, the main focus of the CAP remains viable food production. The analysis did not allow to establish a clear link between the implementation choices (in terms of measures chosen) under Pillar 1 and the decisions made in Pillar 2.

description: We have observed Bose-Einstein condensation of pairs of fermionic atoms in an ultracold ^6Li gas at magnetic fields above a Feshbach resonance, where no stable ^6Li_2 molecules would exist in vacuum. We accurately determined the position of the resonance to be 822+-3 G. Molecular Bose-Einstein condensates were detected after a fast magnetic field ramp, which transferred pairs of atoms at close distances into bound molecules. Condensate fractions as high as 80% were obtained. The large condensate fractions are interpreted in terms of pre-existing molecules which are quasi-stable even above the two-body Feshbach resonance due to the presence of the degenerate Fermi gas.

description: Thermography is an imaging technique that records the infrared radiation of the skin with a potential to detect asymmetries in body temperature and relating them to pathologies or risk of injury. However, the location of landmarks and region of interest (ROI) can influence the recording process. In this study we describe the reliability of a method to select the ROI without modifying the original thermogram over 68 thermograms (17 participants) of patellar tendon with an infrared camera (softwareOptris 450PI). The width-height, X-Y axis and mean temperature of the ROI was measured by two examiners.All the lower limits of the Intraclass Correlation Coeficiente (CCI) were over 0.84 without biases. The skin temperature was similar for both intra-examiner (F1,33=0.488; p=0.490) and inter-examiner (F1,33=0.011; p=0.917). The mean differences were 0.006ºC (Limit of agreement (LoA): -0.10 to 0.10), The differences between examiners were 0.001 ºC (LoA: -0.13 to 0.13). All temperature differences were <0.25ºC. The method used has very good intra and inter-examiner reliability and reproducibility and the influence on the skin temperature is negligible. It will be of interest to extend the study to ascertain the reliability using different thermal cameras and software, which could increase the strength of the method.

description: This study investigated the attitudes and cultural self-efficacy levels of nurses caring for patients at three Army Hospitals. Three research questions were asked and answered. A combination of two research instruments were used for data collection: The Cultural Attitudes Assessment Survey and the Cultural Self-efficacy Scale. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, Multivariate Analysis of Variance, Chi-square, and Pearson Product-moment Correlation. The study found significant differences in nurses attitudes and cultural self-efficacy levels. Nurses had more positive attitudes toward patients of similar ethnic groups. Attitudes were more positive toward the African American patient and least positive toward the Latino American patient. Male nurses had more positive attitudes than female nurses, civilian nurses were more positive than military nurses, and nurses with diplomas and associates in nursing had more positive attitudes than nurses with graduate degrees. However, these findings were not significant. For cultural self-efficacy, nurses expressed a fairly high degree of confidence in their knowledge of cultural concepts and in performing specific nursing skills. They also displayed high confidence in their knowledge of cultural patterns for African Americans and Latino Americans, and low confidence for Asian Americans. Male nurse had higher confidence levels than female nurses, military nurses had higher levels than civilian nurses, and nurses with associate and diploma degrees had higher levels of comfort than nurses with graduate degrees, but only for African Americans and Latino Americans.

We used the statistical method of correlation-analysis. (For example) we quantified connections between the percentages of the amount appropriated to the support and the percentages of the small-sized agricultural producers. The results can be considered partial; they are based on the examined index-numbers, and used method. Authentic explanations need further examinations.

Reduced matrix elements, oscillator strengths, transition rates and lifetimes are calculated for the 17 possible 5l_j-5l'_{j'} and 4f_j-5l_{j'} electric-dipole transitions. Third-order corrections to energies and dipole matrix elements are included for neutral Ag and for ions with Z<61. Second-order corrections are included for Z>60. Comparisons are made with available experimental data for transition energies and lifetimes. Correlation energies and transition rates are shown graphically as functions of nuclear charge Z for selected cases. These calculations provide a theoretical benchmark for comparison with experiment and theory.

description: There exist many background subtraction algorithms to detect motion in videos. To help comparing them, datasets with ground-truth data such as CDNET or LASIESTA have been proposed. These datasets organize videos in categories that represent typical challenges for background subtraction. The evaluation procedure promoted by their authors consists in measuring performance indicators for each video separately and to average them hierarchically, within a category first, then between categories, a procedure which we name "summarization". While the summarization by averaging performance indicators is a valuable effort to standardize the evaluation procedure, it has no theoretical justification and it breaks the intrinsic relationships between summarized indicators. This leads to interpretation inconsistencies. In this paper, we present a theoretical approach to summarize the performances for multiple videos that preserves the relationships between performance indicators. In addition, we give formulas and an algorithm to calculate summarized performances. Finally, we showcase our observations on CDNET 2014.

An investigation of the attitudes and cultural self -efficacy levels among nurses caring for patients in Army hospitals
Creators: name: Joseph, Hyacinth Jennifer
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study investigated the attitudes and cultural self-efficacy levels of nurses caring for patients at three Army Hospitals. Three research questions were asked and answered. A combination of two research instruments were used for data collection: The Cultural Attitudes Assessment Survey and the Cultural Self-efficacy Scale. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, Multivariate Analysis of Variance, Chi-square, and Pearson Product-moment Correlation. The study found significant differences in nurses attitudes and cultural self-efficacy levels. Nurses had more positive attitudes toward patients of similar ethnic groups. Attitudes were more positive toward the African American patient and least positive toward the Latino American patient. Male nurses had more positive attitudes than female nurses, civilian nurses were more positive than military nurses, and nurses with diplomas and associates in nursing had more positive attitudes than nurses with graduate degrees. However, these findings were not significant. For cultural self-efficacy, nurses expressed a fairly high degree of confidence in their knowledge of cultural concepts and in performing specific nursing skills. They also displayed high confidence in their knowledge of cultural patterns for African Americans and Latino Americans, and low confidence for Asian Americans. Male nurse had higher confidence levels than female nurses, military nurses had higher levels than civilian nurses, and nurses with associate and diploma degrees had higher levels of comfort than nurses with graduate degrees, but only for African Americans and Latino Americans.

description: The last CAP reform provides Member States the option to apply the Basic Payment Scheme in finer scale than the national level, termed hereafter as regionalization. We use a farm model that represents almost 90% of the Greek commercial farms for evaluating a wide range of regionalization scenarios. Exploratory Data Analysis is used to get insights from the model results. More specifically we compare the general features of four different types of regionalization schemes, namely a single region, an agronomic based, an administrative based and a hybrid administrative-agronomic regionalization. We also perform a trade-off analysis of selected pairs of policy objectives, e.g. the uniform basic payment unit value vs. the political acceptability, etc.

description: Recently, many deep neural networks were designed to process 3D point clouds, but a common drawback is that rotation invariance is not ensured, leading to poor generalization to arbitrary orientations. In this paper, we introduce a new low-level purely rotation-invariant representation to replace common 3D Cartesian coordinates as the network inputs. Also, we present a network architecture to embed these representations into features, encoding local relations between points and their neighbors, and the global shape structure. To alleviate inevitable global information loss caused by the rotation-invariant representations, we further introduce a region relation convolution to encode local and non-local information. We evaluate our method on multiple point cloud analysis tasks, including shape classification, part segmentation, and shape retrieval. Experimental results show that our method achieves consistent, and also the best performance, on inputs at arbitrary orientations, compared with the state-of-the-arts.

description: The regional dimension is central when designing structural reforms for rural areas. In this study we implement the multidirectional efficiency analysis approach in a regional, rural development context, with the aim of analysing the regional efficiency of agricultural resource use. The efficiency patterns of each input and output were observed over three Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) periods. The results show the largest improvements in the efficiency of diversified output and labour, especially when concerns about environmental conditions and rurality were included in CAP, 2008-2013. Further improvements in regional efficiency could be achieved by creating possibilities for diversified output and structural changes in assets.
The effects of eating restraint and speaker characteristics on the processing of a weight -related message
Creators: name: Keating, Marcia Christine
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The purpose of this study was to determine how differences in listener (i.e., participants' eating restraint level) and speaker (i.e., body weight and expertise) characteristics affect the following: evaluation of the speaker, evaluation of an anti-dieting message, cognitive processing of the message, and the persuasiveness of the message and speaker. One hundred and six undergraduates listened to an audiotaped anti-dieting message while viewing a photograph of a speaker who was either underweight or overweight and an expert or nonexpert. Participants completed a thought-listing task and measures that assessed their evaluations and persuasiveness ratings of the message and speaker. Overweight speakers were rated as more trustworthy and favorable than underweight speakers. No differences were found with respect to speaker or listener characteristics for cognitive processing of the message or persuasiveness of the message or speaker. Implications for the utility and application of the Elaboration Likelihood Model of Persuasion in the treatment of disordered eating are discussed.
A Set-Valued Lagrange Theorem based on a Process for Convex Vector Programming

description: In this paper, we present a new set-valued Lagrange multiplier theorem for constrained convex set-valued optimization problems. We introduce the novel concept of Lagrange process. This concept is a natural extension of the classical concept of Lagrange multiplier where the conventional notion of linear continuous operator is replaced by the concept of closed convex process, its set-valued analogue. The behaviour of this new Lagrange multiplier based on a process is shown to be particularly appropriate for some types of proper minimal points and, in general, when it has a bounded base.
Post-Digital Fashion: The Evolution and Creation Cycle

description: In the face of the Covid-19 pandemic, the fashion industry was surprised and quickly had to adapt to digital media. However, the relationship between fashion and the multiplicity of screens is not new. Fashion emerged and took its first steps with Cinema, in Modernity. Although there are times when these two systems are further apart from each other, the alliance survived. To analyse contemporaneity, we take as main reference the studies of Gilles Lipovetsky, and his reflections on aesthetic capitalism. The fashion system has many Western fields of life, including art and technology. In this article we discuss how this relationship of fashion adapts and develops with aesthetic capitalism and post-digital art while we analyse representative artefacts from/about fashion. We propose to put the recent digital fashion artefacts in dialogue with post-digital aesthetics theories, discussing the blurred boundaries between the digital and the post-digital, and proposing the instantiation of a post-digital creation cycle applied to fashion artefacts.

description: The objective of this paper is to assess the impacts of further reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) on the agri-food sector in Finland. An econometric model for Finnish agriculture - built as a part of the AGMEMOD project - was utilised. The simulations presented in the paper demonstrate that the model provides the basis for agricultural policy analysis. The impacts of the CAP reform experiments in Finland analysed can be summarised as follows: A small projected reduction in the production level, but a large decrease in farm income as a result of cuts in CAP support payments.
