description: In the European Union assistance for rural development in 2007 - 2013 has been provided in the framework of the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development. The scope and form of support for rural areas in Poland during this period were stated by the Rural Development Programme. Its main objectives include in the first place upgrading the competitiveness of agricultural holdings through their restructuring, improvement of the condition of the environment and landscape, but also betterment of living standards of rural dwellers and promoting the diversification of economic activities. Apart from funding originating from the European Union, financial support for rural development in Poland requires involving domestic funds, or in some cases also private means. Evaluating the rural Development Programme for 2007 - 2013 at the current stage of its realization it should be said that a considerable interest in selected measures may be observed among rural dwellers, visible as the number of submitted applications and a growing number of signed contracts. As at the date of the analysis already over 16.3 bn zlotys has been paid and utilization of EAFRD funding reached 23.61%. Utilization of funding will be increasing with subsequent interim payments or realization and settlement of investments qualified for assistance but also in connection with new calls for applications for the EU funding. On the other hand, analyzing the structure of realized payments within the limit of EAFRD funds one should state that as at the day of the analysis the major part of funds from EAFRD was paid to the measure supporting farming in mountain areas and other less favoured areas, subsequently modernization of agricultural holdings, early retirement benefits and also to the agri-environmental programme. Proportionally the least share of funding was paid within the measures: "Implementation of Local Development Strategies" and "Information and Promotion Activities".

description: We study the electronic energy spectra and wave functions on the square Fibonacci tiling, using an off-diagonal tight-binding model, in order to determine the exact nature of the transitions between different spectral behaviors, as well as the scaling of the total bandwidth as it becomes finite. The macroscopic degeneracy of certain energy values in the spectrum is invoked as a possible mechanism for the emergence of extended electronic Bloch wave functions as the dimension changes from one to two.

description: Over the last decade, the UBC Food System Project (UBCFSP) has emerged as a community-based action research project which was initiated by the Faculty of Land at Food Systems and the UBC SEEDS program. The UBCFSP has worked with core representatives in the UBC Food system to assess the sustainability of the system and transition toward a more sustainable system. The UBCFSP partners called for an improved communication strategy, which would allow them to determine the direction of the project and the needs of the campus community. In response, this project was developed to monitor and evaluate the UBCFSP, as well as direct future projects. A focus group was held involving the UBCFSP partners in order to develop a series of priority actions for the project. Through a survey involving members of the UBC Food System further information was gathered regarding the behaviours, practices, and priorities of the campus community regarding the UBC food system. Utilizing this data, we have organized and prioritized the actions to compose a draft of the document which will help guide future UBCFSP scenarios. In conducting this project, we have brought together different sections of the campus community and set the agenda for food sustainability action across UBC. Disclaimer: “UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community.

description: Slovakia has experienced positive trends in organic farming development in recent years (the area of organic land and number of ecofarms have increased). In spite of this trend there are many problems hindering further development of organic farming in Slovakia. These problems start to appear in production, continue with state support and processing operators, end up in retail markets. Negative or neutral attitude to bio products is a big problem. People named high price level, questionable quality and small range of products among big negatives of ecoproducts. Purchasing power of population limits sale of bio products and decreases return of money to producers. We analyzed the correlation of income to bio products consumption. According to Pearson (0.807), Kendall tau (0.762), Spearman (0.914) correlation coefficients we can say that there is a strong statistical correlation. This correlation refers to countries with higher income and with higher bio products consumption. There are also other problem areas such as lower state financial support, low initiative "from below" (ecofarmers associations) and high level of control. Missing infrastructure of bio products processors is a big barrier in development of Slovak organic farming. In this indicator, Slovakia (with 5 processors) ranks among the least developed EU countries. Poor knowledge of production and sale and small portfolio of products also belong among factors inhibiting development of organic farming in Slovakia. However, the fundamental problem is higher level of production costs compared to conventional farming. Thus, there is lower possibility of competitiveness with higher price in the market. Our research confirmed that costs are 42% (wheat) and 34% (corn) higher in organic farming compared to conventional farming.
CANADA IN THE INDO-PACIFIC?

description: Canada needs to take a bigger part in the Indo-Pacific’s development and support for a rules-based order or risk getting locked out of the region’s economic, diplomatic and security benefits. Although the Indo-Pacific region is an economic dynamo, it’s also institutionally underdeveloped and the source of numerous traditional and non-traditional security challenges. Traditional challenges include North Korea’s WMD program and potential conflicts between China and neighbouring nations. Non-traditional challenges include piracy, illegal fishing and climate change. Conflicts, especially at sea, could disrupt communications, trade and energy flows. Canadians know that much is at stake in Indo-Pacific region. A 2020 survey found that 83 per cent of Canadians believe that Canada should stand up to China when values like human rights and democracy are on the line. Opinions vary as to how Canadian engagement in the Indo-Pacific should look. Any such process should be clearly and meaningfully articulated to garner buy-in from Canadians. It should also be based on a realistic assessment of the capabilities and capacities Canada can bring to the region. Canada has already used existing institutions, such as military exercises among Indo-Pacific nations, to get involved in the area. Options include bringing together middle-power countries to promote multilateralism and non-military solutions to Indo-Pacific challenges. North Korean denuclearization, vaccine distribution and the digital economy offer possibilities to create a diplomatic consensus among like-minded countries. Outreach should also concentrate on issues directly affecting Canada and its allies, like forging coalitions to resist hostage diplomacy and economic coercion. At the same time, Canada must develop a constructive relationship with China to mitigate regionwide challenges such as climate change. Canada shares an interest with the U.S., Australia, Japan and other countries in ensuring that the Indo-Pacific develops in a free, open and rules-based manner. A more Machiavellian approach founded on the presumption that might is right would see Canada and similar middle-power countries become marginalized and more vulnerable to security challenges. It’s time for Canada to speak up and become more involved in the Indo-Pacific to prevent that scenario.

Identifying Earth matter effects on supernova neutrinos at a single detector

description: The neutrino oscillations in Earth matter introduce modulations in the supernova neutrino spectra. These modulations can be exploited to identify the presence of Earth effects on the spectra, which would enable us to put a limit on the value of the neutrino mixing angle $θ_{13}$ and to identify whether the mass hierarchy is normal or inverted. We demonstrate how the Earth effects can be identified at a single detector without prior assumptions about the flavor-dependent source spectra, using the Fourier transform of the ``inverse-energy'' spectrum of the signal. We explore the factors affecting the efficiency of this method, and find that the energy resolution of the detector is the most crucial one. In particular, whereas water Cherenkov detectors may need a few ten thousand events to identify the Earth effects, a few thousand may be enough at scintillation detectors, which generically have a much better energy resolution. A successful identification of the Earth effects through this method can also provide $Δm^2_\odot$ to a good accuracy. The relative strength of the detected Earth effects as a function of time provides a test for supernova models.

description: In this paper we study the system of a scalar quantum field confined between two plane, isotropic, and homogeneous parallel plates at thermal equilibrium. We represent the plates by the most general lossless and frequency-independent boundary conditions that satisfy the conditions of isotropy and homogeneity and are compatible with the unitarity of the quantum field theory. Under these conditions we compute the thermal correction to the quantum vacuum energy as a function of the temperature and the parameters encoding the boundary condition. The latter enables us to obtain similar results for the pressure between plates and the quantum thermal correction to the entropy. We find out that our system is thermodynamically stable for any boundary conditions, and we identify a critical temperature below which certain boundary conditions yield attractive, repulsive, and null Casimir forces.

description: The goal of the Gemini Deep Deep Survey (GDDS) is to study an unbiased sample of K<20.6 galaxies in the redshift range 0.81.3. The selected objects have colors typical of irregular and Sbc galaxies. Strong [OII] emission indicates high star formation activity in the HII regions (SFR~13-106 M_sun/yr). The high S/N composite spectrum shows strong ISM MgII and FeII absorption, together with weak MnII and MgI lines. The FeII column density, derived using the curve of growth analysis, is logN_FeII = 15.54^{+0.23}_{-0.13}. This is considerably larger than typical values found in damped Ly-alpha systems (DLAs) along QSO sight lines, where only 10 out of 87 (~11%) have logN_FeII > 15.2. High FeII column densities are observed in the z=2.72 Lyman break galaxy cB58 (logN_FeII ~ 15.25) and in gamma-ray burst host galaxies (logN_FeII ~ 14.8-15.9). Given our measured FeII column density and assuming a moderate iron dust depletion (delta_Fe ~ 1 dex), we derive an optical dust extinction A_V ~ 0.6. If the HI column density is log N(HI)<21.7 (as in 98% of DLAs), then the mean metallicity is Z/Z_sun > 0.2. The high completeness of the GDDS sample implies that these results are typical of star-forming galaxies in the 1

description: CLIC is a proposed linear $e^+e^-$ collider with center-of-mass energies of up to 3 TeV. Its main objectives are precise top quark, Higgs boson and Beyond Standard Model physics. In addition to spatial resolutions of a few micrometers and a very low material budget, the vertex and tracking detectors also require timing capabilities with a precision of a few nanoseconds to allow suppression of beam-induced background particles. Different technologies using hybrid silicon detectors are explored for the vertex detectors, such as dedicated 65 nm readout ASICs, small-pitch sensors as well as bonding using anisotropic conductive films. Monolithic sensors are the current choice for the tracking detector, and a prototype using a 180 nm high-resistivity CMOS process has been designed and produced, and is currently under evaluation. Different designs using a silicon-on-insulator process are under investigation for both vertex and tracking detector. All prototypes are tested in laboratory and beam tests, and newly developed simulation tools combining Geant4 and TCAD are used to assess and optimize their performance. This contribution gives an overview of the R&D program for the CLIC vertex and tracking detectors, highlighting new results from the prototypes.

description: We investigate an unconventional symmetry in time-periodically driven systems, the Floquet dynamical symmetry (FDS). Unlike the usual symmetries, the FDS gives symmetry sectors that are equidistant in the Floquet spectrum and protects quantum coherence between them from dissipation and dephasing, leading to two kinds of time crystals: the discrete time crystal and discrete time quasicrystal that have different periodicity in time. We show that these time crystals appear in the Bose- and Fermi-Hubbard models under ac fields and their periodicity can be tuned only by adjusting the strength of the field. These time crystals arise only from the FDS and thus appear in both dissipative and isolated systems and in the presence of disorder as long as the FDS is respected. We discuss their experimental realizations in cold atom experiments and generalization to the SU($N$)-symmetric Hubbard models.

description: Corporate success, firm's profit, creating internal attributes of organization, competitiveness of firm, also corect functioning of firm are influenced by well established corporate culture on a large scale. It can help to gain strategic aims in organizations, which realize its importance. According to opinion of some authors, the excellent corporate culture is "the spirit" of an organization. It is a part of enterpreneur's core competitiveness but it is also a base of core competencies. This article is focused on identification and revelation of problems during the formation process of corporate culture. The identification of problems was realized through questionnaire at the sample of 78 respondents in selected set of companies. The result of this research has shown that certain specific problems, such as "buying of own people" (78 % of respondents answered that rewarding is not fair), "punishment" (more than 1/3 of respondents think that work environment is not open for new ideas) or "copying of culture" (more than 1/3 of respondents answered that they do not feel comfortable in existing culture) still appear when the formation of corporate culture is in progress.

description: We analyzed the stochastic behavior of systems controlled by autocatalytic reaction A+X -> X+X, X+X -> A+X, X -> B provided that the distribution of reacting particles in the system volume is uniform, i.e. the point model of reaction kinetics introduced in arXiv:cond-mat/0404402 can be applied. Assuming the number of substrate particles A to be kept constant by a suitable reservoir, we derived the forward Kolmogorov equation for the probability of finding n=0,1,... autocatalytic particles X in the system at a given time moment. We have shown that the stochastic model results in an equation for the mean value of autocatalytic particles X which differs strongly from the kinetic rate equation. It has been found that not only the law of the mass action is violated but also the bifurcation point is disappeared in the well-known diagram of X particle- vs. A particle-concentration. Therefore, speculations about the role of autocatalytic reactions in processes of the "natural selection" can be hardly supported.

It is because of the fact that many managers do not feel inner need to look at the effectiveness of using their personal working techniques. Those who honestly answered the questions in the questionnaire could realize their strengths and weaknesses in using their working lime. They found out what kind of managerial personality they really are. II forced them to think how they want to proceed - if they want to be active or they want to be only the object of someone else's manipulation.

We report on new physical properties that are relevant for laser and nonlinear optics applications. With respect to AgGaS(e)$_2$ ternary chalcopyrite materials, LiInS$_{2}$ displays a nearly-isotropic thermal expansion behavior, a 5-times larger thermal conductivity associated with high optical damage thresholds, and an extremely low intensity-dependent absorption allowing direct high-power downconversion from the near-IR to the deep mid-IR. Continuous-wave difference-frequency generation (5-11$ μ$m) of Ti:sapphire laser sources is reported for the first time.

description: Recent studies of the atmospheres of carbon-rich (DQ) white dwarfs have demonstrated the existence of two different populations that are distinguished by the temperature range, but more importantly, by the extremely high masses of the hotter group. The classical DQ below 10000 K are well understood as the result of dredge-up of carbon by the expanding helium convection zone. The high-mass group poses several problems regarding their origin and also an unexpected correlation of effective temperature with mass. We propose to study the envelopes of these objects to determine the total hydrogen and helium masses as possible clues to their evolution. We developed new codes for envelope integration and diffusive equilibrium that are adapted to the unusual chemical composition, which is not necessarily dominated by hydrogen and helium. Using the new results for the atmospheric parameters, in particular, the masses obtained using Gaia parallaxes, we confirm that the narrow sequence of carbon abundances with Teff in the cool classical DQ is indeed caused by an almost constant helium to total mass fraction, as found in earlier studies. This mass fraction is smaller than predicted by stellar evolution calculations. For the warm DQ above 10000 K, which are thought to originate from double white dwarf mergers, we obtain extremely low hydrogen and helium masses. The correlation of mass with Teff remains unexplained, but another possible correlation of helium layer masses with Teff as well as the gravitational redshifts casts doubt on the reality of both and suggests possible shortcomings of current models.

THE U.K. APPLIES TO JOIN THE CPTPP: WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR CANADA?
Creators: name: Stephens, Hugh
Publisher: name: The School of Public Policy Publications
Year: 2021

description: The U.K’s request to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) could be a tremendous boon for this bloc. The CPTPP has 11 members at present, including Canada. However, four members — Peru, Chile, Malaysia and Brunei — have yet to complete the ratification process. The U.K.’s potential accession could lead the CPTPP to develop further in response to renewed interest from present and prospective members. Canada and the U.K. have already been discussing interim trading arrangements in the form of the Trade Continuity Agreement (TCA), which replaces existing rules designed when the U.K. was still a member of the European Union. Both countries have committed to reaching a new, permanent bilateral agreement by 2024. If the U.K. joins the CPTPP, Canada will thus end up negotiating two trade agreements with the same country at the same time. Canada is unlikely to win additional access to the U.K. market beyond what it enjoys through the TCA. At the same time, Canada is unlikely to grant the U.K. additional access to protected sectors through the CPTPP. But this doesn’t mean that Canada has nothing to gain from the U.K. joining the CPTPP. The addition of a substantial economy like the U.K. to the CPTPP could prompt the four foot-dragging members to complete ratification. Without that, they will have no say in the negotiations over the U.K.’s accession or the outcome. The U.K.’s experience could also encourage non-members like South Korea and Taiwan to take the plunge and apply to join the pact. The United States was an original member of the CPTPP’s precursor, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, but pulled out during the Trump administration. The U.K’s entry may not be enough to convince the new government to change course and so far, the Biden administration has not signalled that accession is a priority. Still, the U.K.’s admission has the potential to expand the trading bloc and Canada should make the most of this. It does require the careful adjustment of any potential Canadian concessions granted as part of the CPTPP accession negotiations against the need for leverage in future bilateral trade negotiations with the U.K. But this balancing act shouldn’t prevent Canada from supporting the U.K.’s request to join the CPTPP. The opportunities and rewards over the long term are too substantial for any other decision.

description: A new series of correlation inequalities for random field spin systems is proven rigorously. First one corresponds to the well-known Schwartz-Soffer inequality. These are expected to rule out incorrect results calculated in effective theories and numerical studies. The large $N$ expansion with the replica method for random field systems as an example is checked by these inequalities. It is shown that several critical exponents of multiple-point correlation functions at critical point satisfy obtained inequalities.

description: Globalization brings to the food chain new challenges and risks relating to health and consumer interests worldwide. On the other hand, farmers have been in a long-term perspective challenging climate changes and reforms; they face high entry costs and the purchasing power of supermarket chains. Among the priority issues there have been brought issues of food security, improving the economic viability of farmers and their position in the food chain in order to provide a dynamic and competitive agricultural sector. Current development point out the need to increase world food production, as the demand for food is supposed to be increased by seventy percent in 2050. Undoubtedly, the most important aspect which is necessary to be realized is that the future of the agricultural sector lies not only in production and economic function but also in environmental and social functions. The aim of this paper is to analyze the current problems in the world agriculture sector and to highlight the ethical issues associated with their solution.
HOW DO PEOPLE IN UZBEKISTAN USE AI IN THEIR JOBS AND STUDIES? DOES AI SERVE USEFUL PURPOSES OR MAKE INDIVIDUALS LAZY?

description: This research paper explores the integration of Artificial Intelligence in education and workplaces in Uzbekistan, striving to understand the public perspective and usage trends. The study evaluates the perceived usefulness of AI and its reliance on it through interviews with 10 students from diverse academic fields and 10 professionals from different sectors in Uzbekistan. Overall, the study highlights the higher AI adaptation among computer science and IT-related workers, both in terms of unitality and daily usage, whereas participants from social sectors and students from biology and math classes turned out to be more cautious about using AI. In fact, every interviewed person showed no opposition to the development of AI, although their usage rates differ dramatically. When I compared my research with previous studies, I noticed that I gained similar results generally. However, as my study is the latest assessment with the painstaking methods, my conclusion presented clearer suggestions, emphasizing the need to educate individuals to ensure responsible usage among the broader population. The study generalizes the current, localized attitude toward AI integration in Uzbekistan and can serve as an informative tool for future research in this field.

Universal behavior in the Nernst effect of heavy fermion materials
Creators: name: Yang, Yi-feng
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We report the observation of a universal scaling of the Nernst coefficient over a wide intermediate temperature range in heavy fermion materials, including the superconductors CeCu$_2$Si$_2$, CeCoIn$_5$, and Ce$_2$PdIn$_8$, the ferromagnetic Kondo lattice Ce$_3$RhSi$_3$, the nonmagnetic CeRu$_2$Si$_2$, the intermediate valent YbAl$_3$, and the hidden order compound URu$_2$Si$_2$, that cover a broad spectrum of heavy fermion materials with different crystal, valence and ground state properties. The scaling formula follows exactly the magnetic susceptibility of emergent heavy quasiparticles as predicted in the two-fluid model. We give a tentative explanation of the scaling based on the skew scattering mechanism and the Boltzmann picture and argue that the Nernst effect is produced by the asymmetry of the quasiparticle density of states rather than that of the scattering rate. In URu$_2$Si$_2$, the giant Nernst signal in the hidden order phase is also found to follow the predicted scaling, indicating the potential involvement of hybridization physics. Our work suggests a candidate unified scenario for the Nernst effect in heavy fermion materials.

description: Support for agricultural producers in the European Union remained uneven, as preferences were given to the most economically stable regions and businesses. Intensive farming methods continued to be used, with consequences for both the environment and animal health. In addition, the applicant countries that joined the European Union had to adopt legislation, i.e. meet the parameters and criteria that exist in the Single Market for agricultural products, namely: to ensure appropriate product quality, update the technical and technological base of production, introduce innovative technologies for growing grain and fattening animals, etc.

description: Following recent empirical evidence which indicates the importance of rank for the determination of workers’ wellbeing, this paper introduces status seeking preferences in the form of rank-dependent utility functions into a moral hazard framework with one firm and multiple workers, but no correlation in production. Workers’ concern for the rank of their wage in the firm’s wage distribution may induce the firm to offer discriminatory wage contracts when its aim is to induce all workers to expend effort.

subject: Keynesian recession

description: The stylised facts of currency crises in emerging markets include output contraction coming hard on the heels of devaluation, with a prominent role for the adverse balance-sheet effects of liability dollarisation. In the light of the South East Asian experience, we propose an eclectic blend of the supply-side account of Aghion, Bacchetta and Banerjee (2000) with a demand recession triggered by balance sheet effects (Krugman, 1999). This sharpens the dilemma facing the monetary authorities - how to defend the currency without depressing the economy. But, with credible commitment or complementary policy actions, excessive output losses can, in principle, be avoided.

description: We report on ground state laser cooling of single 111Cd+ ions confined in radio-frequency (Paul) traps. Heating rates of trapped ion motion are measured for two different trapping geometries and electrode materials, where no effort was made to shield the electrodes from the atomic Cd source. The low measured heating rates suggest that trapped 111Cd+ ions may be well-suited for experiments involving quantum control of atomic motion, including applications in quantum information science.
