Debating on Surrogacy. Different Voices on the Goodness of Surrogate Motherhood
Creators: name: Viviani, Debora
name: Guizzardi, Luca
Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2020
Subjects: surrogate motherhood; surrogacy; gestational surrogacy

description: Undoubtedly, the title of this issue of Italian Sociological Review could be read as a dogmatic defense of the practice of surrogate motherhood as well as of gestational surrogacy – but it is not. On the contrary, this issue represents an attempt to give voice to the individuals and their ideas, representations and experiences about surrogacy rather than to social ideologies, ontologies or theories. Instead of judging – as an a priori assumption – that surrogacy is always bad, the articles outline the conditions thanks to which surrogacy can be a good way to have a child – or to help someone to have their child.

Squeezed states of light and their applications in laser interferometers
Creators: name: Schnabel, Roman
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: According to quantum theory the interactions between physical systems are quantized. As a direct consequence, measurement sensitivities are fundamentally limited by quantization noise, or just `quantum noise' in short. Furthermore, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle demands measurement back-action for some observables of a system if they are measured repeatedly. In both respects, squeezed states are of high interest since they show a `squeezed' uncertainty, which can be used to improve the sensitivity of measurement devices beyond the usual quantum noise limits including those impacted by quantum back-action noise. Squeezed states of light can be produced with nonlinear optics, and a large variety of proof-of-principle experiments were performed in past decades. As an actual application, squeezed light has now been used for several years to improve the measurement sensitivity of GEO600 -- a laser interferometer built for the detection of gravitational waves. Given this success, squeezed light is likely to significantly contribute to the new field of gravitational-wave astronomy. This Review revisits the concept of squeezed states and two-mode squeezed states of light, with a focus on experimental observations. The distinct properties of squeezed states displayed in quadrature phase-space as well as in the photon number representation are described. The role of the light's quantum noise in laser interferometers is summarized and the actual application of squeezed states in these measurement devices is reviewed.

‘Surrogates All Make that Choice to Help’: Surrogacy in the Neoliberal Reproductive Market
Creators: name: Berend, Zsuzsa
Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2020
Subjects: neoliberalism; assisted reproduction; online communication

description: Recent scholarships on neoliberal practices document how, in varied settings, people who would benefit from regulation embrace the neoliberal logic. Drawing on ethnographic research on the largest US online surrogacy support forum I explore surrogates’ discussions of choices and responsibilities. Surrogates maintain that infertile couples, whom they see as emotionally vulnerable, have no choice but to turn to surrogacy. Surrogates claim to be well-informed, intelligent, independent, and empathic woman who assume responsibility for the legal, relational, and medical aspects of pregnancy and reject standardization of ‘surrogacy journeys’. They want more oversight of fertility clinics and surrogacy agencies but ultimately argue for individual accountability. Surrogates’ discussions provide insights into the reasons why practitioners are, in many ways, in alignment with neoliberal ideas and practices: because they are compatible with collective definition of surrogacy as a private rather than a business relationship.

Factors Affecting Gold Supply: The Case of Ethiopia
Creators: name: Abebe, Senbete
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Artisanal and Small-Scale gold mining is largely linked to poverty-driven activity and a source of foreign exchange and government revenue. In Ethiopia, the sector employed a large number of people supporting approximately 1.2 million while the average share of the sector to GDP and total export during the last 15 years was limited to 0.4% and 8% respectively. Ethiopia has had no its fair share of benefits the artisanal and Small-Scale gold mining brings by way of direct revenue generation and foreign exchange creation. The country has been losing, potentially, millions of dollars through smuggling of gold every year. Supply of gold to the formal market was significantly declined. Therefore, the objective of the study was to analyze the effects of factors affecting artisanal and small scale gold supply and forward possible solutions that can improve the contribution of the sector. Notable factors (problems) are linked with global gold price fluctuation, expansion of local and cross boarder smuggling, administrative problems reflected in the gold supply chain as well as impediments related to policies and taxes including environmental dilapidation in gold mining sits in Ethiopia. In general, the performance of the sector was significantly deteriorated due to the combined effects of these deterring factors. A combination of quantitative and qualitative methods was used to analyze the study variables. The target population consisted of 934 artisanal gold miners, dealer, and cooperatives registered and operating in four regions in Ethiopia specifically, Oromiya, Tigray, Benishangul, SNNPR and Gmbella. Random sampling technique was applied to select 100 gold suppliers, senior managers and experts in the field. Out of 100 questionnaires 88 were completed and returned by respondents. Homogenous sampling technique was applied as the target groups are equally well aware of the ASG mining sector. Secondary data was collected from study report, publications, research outputs, proclamations and policy documents related to artisanal and small scale mining. The effects of the factors were examined by using 15 years panel data collected on foreign exchange earned from artisanal and small-scale gold mining sector. Secondary data were analyzed by using multiple linear regression model for one dependent variable (gold supply) and five independent variables. The empirical result shows international gold price fluctuation, local gold price, incentive to gold suppliers have positive and significant relationship with the performance of the sector while contraband trade and lower gold purchase threshold policy have negative relationship. Based on the result of the study, it is recommended that contraband trade should be controlled, appropriate gold product recording, tracking and monitoring be in placed, formalization of artisanal gold miners, technical and financial support for artisanal gold miners and attention should be given for environmental protection.

We prove strong consistency concerning the functional urn proportion and the proportion of subjects assigned to the treatment groups, in the whole study and for each covariate profile, allowing the distribution of the responses conditioned on covariates to be estimated nonparametrically. In addition, we establish joint central limit theorems for the above quantities and the sufficient statistics of features of interest, which allow to construct procedures to make inference on the conditional response distributions. These results are then applied to typical situations concerning Gaussian and binary responses.

Gift Narratives of US Surrogates
Creators: name: Guerzoni, Corinna Sabrina
Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2020
Subjects: US surrogacy; surrogates; gift

description: In this paper, I present partial results of two researches conducted on US surrogacy within two different fertility clinics of Southern California (2014-2016; 2017-2020). This paper analyzes the experiences of 50 US surrogates who had a baby (or twins) for international intended parent(s) in where the communication between parties was poor or almost absent and in where the rhetoric of the gift was carried out most by clinics and agencies that arranged the surrogacy journeys observed rather than the interviewees. I will show how the transformations undergone by surrogacy in the United States have changed some axes causing a change in the relationships between international parents and surrogates, and on the language used to refer to this practice as a gift.

No obstante, culturalmente en Cartagena se observa la tendencia a que la gente se dirija al centro comercial que se encuentra de moda y generalmente es el ultimo en inaugurarse, esto a diferencia de otras ciudades del país en las que los consumidores elijen el centro comercial por factores como exclusividad, ubicación, tecnología, entre otros. En Cartagena la principal estrategia de los centros comerciales para sostener su posicionamiento y evitar que la masa crítica se desplace al centro comercial de moda, es la modernización de los mismos Los resultados de esta investigación, permitirán identificar el marketing emocional como una herramienta efectiva para la consecución de estrategias de fidelización de mercados actuales y captación de mercados potenciales. A su vez permitirá a los administrativos de los centros comerciales, diseñar acciones correctivas, preventivas y de mejoramiento, para el debido manejo de las variables ambientales como factores determinantes sobre el proceso de decisión del joven consumidor, ligado a las emociones que dichos factores les generan. El desarrollo de esta investigación también es de gran importancia para el administrador de empresas, al poner en práctica conocimientos adquiridos en su formación académica y experimentar un verdadero reto.

Year: 2020
Subjects: surrogate motherhood; women;, pragmatism

description: The purpose of this essay is to analyse how surrogate motherhood is represented both in academic and scientific debate and in the everyday lives of homosexual people. The work is structured as follows. The main dilemmas facing surrogate motherhood are discussed – is it self-determination or the exploitation of women? Does the money involved denote the purchase and sale of a human being or a gift of one’s own capacity? How is motherhood defined within the surrogacy of motherhood? – and the various answers produced by the many theories and research on the subject described. Subsequently, the symbolic and cultural representations of surrogacy by the gay people interviewed are presented.

description: This study used thermal impedance spectroscopy to measure a 46 Ah high-power lithium-ion pouch cell, introducing a testing setup for automotive-sized cells to extract the relevant thermal parameters, reducing the time for thermal characterisation in the complete operational range. The results are validated by measuring the heat capacity using an easy-to-implement calorimetric measurement method. For the investigated cell at 50% state of charge and an ambient temperature of 25 °C, values for the specific heat capacity of 1.25 J/(kgK) and the cross-plane thermal conductivity of 0.47 W/(mK) are obtained. For further understanding, the values were measured at different states of charge and at different ambient temperatures, showing a notable dependency only on the thermal conductivity from the temperature of −0.37%/K. Also, a comparison of the cell with a similar-sized 60 Ah high-energy cell is investigated, comparing the influence of the cell structure to the thermal behaviour of commercial cells. This observation shows about 15% higher values in heat capacity and cross-plane thermal conductivity for the high-energy cell. Consequently, the presented setup is a straightforward implementation to accurately obtain the required model parameters, which could be used prospectively for module characterisation and investigating thermal propagation through the cells.
Intrafamilial Surrogacy: Motivations, Imaginary and Current Reality

Subjects: intrafamilial donation; intrafamilial surrogacy; genetic parentage

description: In some countries it happens that a person or a couple making use of medically assisted reproductive technology prefers (if possible) to use as gamete donor or a surrogate woman a person from within their own family, whether this person offers their services spontaneously or is asked to help: sisters who donate eggs to their sisters, brothers who donate sperm to their brothers, mothers who carry their future grandchildren in their own womb or vice versa. The aim of this article is to investigate the issue of intrafamilial donation, with particular focus on intrafamilial surrogacy. Our analysis will be based on the results of a survey conducted on the wider topic of the social imaginary associated with medically assisted procration.

Ethiopian Insurance sector and its Contribution to Economic Growth
Creators: name: Kahase, G/Michael
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: The study examines the contribution of Ethiopian Insurance industry to the economic growth. It analyses both the long run and short run dynamics among important determinants of variables over the period 37 years (1980-2016). Using unit root tests and Johansen Co integration tests are applied to investigate relationship among the variables respecting. Error correction model has been used to analysis the long run and short run movements of variables. A pair wise granger causality test has also used to examine the causal relationship among the variables in the model. The study observed that there is long run relationship between insurance development and economic growth in Ethiopia. The regression result indicated that insurance premium and insurance claim has significant and negative relationship with economic growth in the long run and short run dynamics. However insurance profit has positive significant and insurance investment has positive but insignificant relation with economic growth. The result of granger causality test indicates that there is unidirectional relationship from economic growth to insurance premium, insurance claim and insurance profit. It also shows bidirectional relationship between economic growth and insurance profit. However insurance investment has no causal relation with any variable in short run. The implication of this finding is that there is a causal relationship between insurance performance and economic growth. The study concludes that the economic growth has positive impacts on the growth of insurance development.

Analytic approximations to the strengths of near-threshold optical Feshbach resonances

description: Optical Feshbach resonances (OFRs) allow one to control cold atomic scattering, produce ultracold molecules and study atomic interactions via photoassociation spectroscopy. In the limit of ultracold s-wave collisions the strength of an optical Feshbach resonance can be expressed via an energy-independent parameter called the optical length. Here we give fully analytic approximate expressions for its magnitude applicable to near-threshold bound states of an excited molecular state dominated by a single resonant-dipole or van der Waals interaction. We express these magnitudes in terms of intuitive quantities, such as the laser intensity, excited state binding energy, the s-wave scattering length and the Condon point. Additionally, we extend the utility of the optical length to associative STIRAP in 3D optical lattices by showing that the free-bound Rabi frequency induced by a laser coupling a pair of atoms in an optical lattice site can be approximately related to the trap frequency and the optical length.

Surrogacy: The Apotheosis of Control

Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2020
Subjects: surrogacy; artificial body; surrogate mother

description: The qualitative study the results of which will be presented in this paper was carried out over the course of 2019 using the snowball sampling method to involve 60 women aged between 30 and 45. The aim was to gain insights into and better understand the social imaginary around medically assisted reproductive technologies and in particular around the issue of surrogacy; we wanted to find out what the interviewees knew about this matter and what their ideas were about the figure and role of the mother – intended and/or surrogate – and about the use of the surrogate mother’s body in going through with a pregnancy on behalf of others. The aim of the study is to further investigate the results gathered in a quantitative study carried out in 2017 (Di Nicola, Lonardi, Viviani, 2019, 2018) in order to further the considerations made previously. The data gathered show that surrogacy is characterized by a strong control mechanism implemented by both the intended parents and the surrogate mother, albeit in different forms. This method of procreation highlights how human factors and unforeseen events on a biological, physical and emotional plane become channelled into a process where control has supremacy and constitutes an attempt to bypass the natural processes brought into play by conception and pregnancy.

description: The Littlewood--Richardson process is a discrete random point process arising from the isotypic decomposition of tensor products of irreducible representations of $\operatorname{GL}_N(\mathbb{C})$. Biane--Perelomov--Popov matrices are quantum random matrices obtained as the geometric quantization of random Hermitian matrices with deterministic eigenvalues and uniformly random eigenvectors. As first observed by Biane, correlation functions of certain global observables of the LR process coincide with correlation functions of linear statistics of sums of classically independent BPP matrices, thereby enabling a random matrix approach to the statistical study of $\operatorname{GL}_N(\mathbb{C})$ tensor products. In this paper, we prove an optimal result: classically independent BPP matrices become freely independent in any semiclassical/large-dimension limit. This proves and generalizes a conjecture of Bufetov and Gorin, and leads to a Law of Large Numbers for the BPP observables of the LR process which holds in any and all semiclassical scalings.

description: The (classical) truncated moment problem, extensively studied by Curto and Fialkow, asks to characterize when a finite sequence of real numbers indexes by words in commuting variables can be represented with moments of a positive Borel measure $μ$ on $\mathbb R^n$. In \cite{BK12} Burgdorf and Klep introduced its tracial analog, the truncated tracial moment problem, which replaces commuting variables with non-commuting ones and moments of $μ$ with tracial moments of matrices. In the bivariate quartic case, where indices run over words in two variables of degree at most four, every sequence with a positive definite $7\times 7$ moment matrix $\mathcal M_2$ can be represented with tracial moments \cite{BK10,BK12}. In this article the case of singular $\mathcal M_2$ is studied. For $\mathcal M_2$ of rank at most 5 the problem is solved completely; namely, concrete measures are obtained whenever they exist and the uniqueness question of the minimal measures is answered. For $\mathcal M_2$ of rank 6 the problem splits into four cases, in two of which it is equivalent to the feasibility problem of certain linear matrix inequalities. Finally, the question of a flat extension of the moment matrix $\mathcal M_2$ is addressed. While this is the most powerful tool for solving the classical case, it is shown here by examples that, while sufficient, flat extensions are mostly not a necessary condition for the existence of a measure in the tracial case.

Biology Commodification and Women Self-determination. Beyond the Surrogacy Ban

Subjects: surrogacy; reproductive rights and labor; gender

description: Starting with the analysis of the recent European Parliament’s stands on surrogacy, in the frame of the wider bioethical debate on reproductive rights, the aim of this essay is twofold. Considering the low number of States that allow surrogacy on a commercial basis and the relatively low percentage of live births from surrogacy itself, this paper aims firstly to trace and problematize the recurring arguments against surrogacy, involving in the analysis not only appeals and campaigns promoted against it, but also the interventions of the European Court for Human Rights and of the Committee on Social Affairs. Secondly, examining the bioethical perspectives not against surrogacy, from the neoliberal to the feminist and materialist approaches, the essay aims at presenting some of the possible thesis in favour of the recourse to new reproductive technologies.

description: Aligned with the Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs), we present the complete methodology of preparing bio-based polymer filaments to be used in additive manufacturing, specifically by means of so-called Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) in 3D printing. Filament production and 3D printing were both developed and optimised in this work. First, we focused on the steps of producing and optimising the extrusion process of unreinforced polylactic acid (PLA) composite filaments. Second, we studied the resulting material properties by discussing the selection of a specimen geometry and the international standards adequate for FFF 3D printing. Moreover, we investigated the process parameters in order to achieve reliable structures. Based on the reinforcement material (stereocomplex fibres (Sc-PLA fibre) and bi-component fibres (bi-co PLA fibre), base-matrices were selected for producing un-reinforced filaments. In this way, we present the complete preparation approach by identifying problems and pitfalls for fostering studies of bio-based polymer filaments.

description: Monte Carlo methods are essential tools for Bayesian inference. Gibbs sampling is a well-known Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm, extensively used in signal processing, machine learning, and statistics, employed to draw samples from complicated high-dimensional posterior distributions. The key point for the successful application of the Gibbs sampler is the ability to draw efficiently samples from the full-conditional probability density functions. Since in the general case this is not possible, in order to speed up the convergence of the chain, it is required to generate auxiliary samples whose information is eventually disregarded. In this work, we show that these auxiliary samples can be recycled within the Gibbs estimators, improving their efficiency with no extra cost. This novel scheme arises naturally after pointing out the relationship between the standard Gibbs sampler and the chain rule used for sampling purposes. Numerical simulations involving simple and real inference problems confirm the excellent performance of the proposed scheme in terms of accuracy and computational efficiency. In particular we give empirical evidence of performance in a toy example, inference of Gaussian processes hyperparameters, and learning dependence graphs through regression.
