description: The Finnish Forest Research Institute has carried out monitoring surveys on Finnish family forest owners since the 1970s. The most recent survey data was collected at the beginning of the year 2009. The mail survey consisted of 13,000 of a total 300,000 family forest holdings over 5 hectares of productive forestland. The response rate was 49 per cent. The results show, for instance, that the average age of Finnish forest owners is 60 years. According to major occupation, 45 per cent of forest owners are pensioners, 30 per cent are wage earners, 16 per cent are agricultural and forestry entrepreneurs and 7 per cent are 'other' entrepreneurs. With regard to ownership form, 76 per cent of family forest holdings are in single person or family ownership, whereas both private partnerships and heirs represent 12 per cent of forest holdings. Forest owners are not greatly urbanised yet, as 55 per cent live in rural areas and the rest live in villages or towns. Sixtyfour per cent live in the same municipality with their forest holding. Forest owners most commonly have multiple objectives, as this objective group represents 34 per cent of owners and 48 per cent of forest area. During the last ten years, the share of multiobjective, indifferent and recreational owners has increased, whereas the share of self-employed and investor owners has decreased.

description: Deep learning has recently gained popularity in digital pathology due to its high prediction quality. However, the medical domain requires explanation and insight for a better understanding beyond standard quantitative performance evaluation. Recently, explanation methods have emerged, which are so far still rarely used in medicine. This work shows their application to generate heatmaps that allow to resolve common challenges encountered in deep learning-based digital histopathology analyses. These challenges comprise biases typically inherent to histopathology data. We study binary classification tasks of tumor tissue discrimination in publicly available haematoxylin and eosin slides of various tumor entities and investigate three types of biases: (1) biases which affect the entire dataset, (2) biases which are by chance correlated with class labels and (3) sampling biases. While standard analyses focus on patch-level evaluation, we advocate pixel-wise heatmaps, which offer a more precise and versatile diagnostic instrument and furthermore help to reveal biases in the data. This insight is shown to not only detect but also to be helpful to remove the effects of common hidden biases, which improves generalization within and across datasets. For example, we could see a trend of improved area under the receiver operating characteristic curve by 5% when reducing a labeling bias. Explanation techniques are thus demonstrated to be a helpful and highly relevant tool for the development and the deployment phases within the life cycle of real-world applications in digital pathology.

description: Using the reduced density matrix formalism the time dependence of the exciton scattering in light-harvesting ring systems of purple bacteria is calculated. In contrast to the work of Kumble and Hochstrasser (J. Chem. Phys. 109 (1998) 855) static disorder (fluctuations of the site energies) as well as dynamic disorder (dissipation) is taken into account. For the description of dissipation we use Redfield theory in exciton eigenstates without secular approximation. This is shown to be equivalent to the Markovian limit of Capek's theory in local states. Circular aggregates with 18 pigments are studied to model the B850 ring of bacteriochlorophyls within LH2 complexes. It can be demonstrated that the dissipation is important for the time-dependent anisotropy of the fluorescence. Smaller values of static disorder are sufficient to produce the same decay rates in the anisotropy in comparison with the results by Kumble and Hochstrasser.
Unintegrated gluon in the photon and heavy quark production

description: The unintegrated gluon density in the photon is determined, using the Kimber-Martin-Ryskin prescription . In addition, a model of the unintegrated gluon is proposed, based on the saturation model extended to the large-x region. These gluon densities are applied to obtain cross sections for charm and bottom production in gamma-p and gamma-gamma collisions using the k_t factorization approach. We investigate both direct and resolved photon contributions and make comparison with the results from the collinear approach and the experimental data. An enhancement of the cross section due to inclusion of non-zero transverse momenta of the gluons is found. The charm production cross section is consistent with the data. The data exceed our conservative estimate for bottom production in gamma-p collisions, but theoretical uncertainties are too large to claim a significant inconsistency. A substantial discrepancy between theory and the experiment is found for gamma gamma -> b bbar X, not being cured by the k_t factorization approach.

description: We develop for charmed hadron production in relativistic heavy-ion collisions a comprehensive coalescence model that includes an extensive set of $s$ and $p$-wave hadronic states as well as the strict energy-momentum conservation, which ensures the boost invariance of the coalescence probability and the thermal limit of the produced hadron spectrum. By combining our hadronization scheme with an advanced Langevin-hydrodynamics model that incorporates both elastic and inelastic energy loss of heavy quarks inside the dynamical quark-gluon plasma, we obtain a successful description of the $p_\mathrm{T}$-integrated and differential $Λ_c/D^0$ and $D_s/D^0$ ratios measured at RHIC and the LHC. We find that including the effect of radial flow of the medium is essential for describing the enhanced $Λ_c/D^0$ ratio observed in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We also find that the puzzling larger $Λ_c/D^0$ ratio observed in Au+Au collisions at RHIC than in Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC is due to the interplay between the effects of the QGP radial flow and the charm quark transverse momentum spectrum at hadronization. Our study further suggests that charmed hadrons have larger sizes in medium than in vacuum.

description: Structure formation in the intergalactic medium (IGM) produces large-scale, collisionless shock waves, where electrons can accelerate to highly relativistic energies. Such electrons can Compton scatter cosmic microwave background photons up to gamma-ray energies. We study the radiation emitted in this process using a hydrodynamic cosmological simulation of a LCDM universe. This radiation, extending beyond TeV energies, has roughly constant energy flux per decade in photon energy, in agreement with the predictions of Loeb & Waxman (2000). Assuming that a fraction xi_e=0.05 of the shock thermal energy is transferred to relativistic electrons, as inferred from collisionless non-relativistic shocks in the interstellar medium, we find that the radiation energy flux, e^2(dJ/de)~ 50-160 eV cm^-2 s^-1 sr^-1, constitutes ~10% of the extragalactic gamma-ray background. The associated point-sources are too faint to account for the ~60 unidentified EGRET gamma-ray sources, but GLAST should resolve several sources associated with large-scale IGM structures for xi_e~0.03, and many more sources for larger xi_e. The intergalactic origin of the radiation can be verified through a cross-correlation with, e.g., the galaxy distribution that traces the same structure. Its shock-origin may be tested by a cross-correlation with radio synchrotron radiation, emitted as the same electrons gyrate in post-shock magnetic fields. We predict that GLAST and Cherenkov telescopes such as MAGIC, VERITAS and HESS should resolve gamma-rays from nearby (redshifts z < 0.01) rich galaxy clusters, perhaps in the form of a \~5-10 Mpc diameter ring-like emission tracing the cluster accretion shock, with luminous peaks at its intersections with galaxy filaments detectable even at z~0.025.

description: This thesis consists of three essays in the field of information economics. The first essay studies manipulation of information by partisan media. The recent increase in partisan media has generated interest in what drives media outlets to become more partisan. I develop a model to study the role of diffusion of information by word of mouth. In the model, a media outlet designs an information policy, which specifies the level of partisan slant in the outlet’s news reports. The news spread via a communication chain in a population of agents with heterogeneous preferences. The slant has an impact on whether the agents find the news credible and on their incentives to pass the news to others. The analysis elucidates how partisanship of media can be driven by political polarisation of the public and by the tendency of people to interact with people with similar political views. The second essay, co-authored by Jakub Redlicki, investigates falsification of scientific evidence by interest groups. We analyse a game between a biased sender (an interest group) and a decision maker (a policy maker) where the former can falsify scientific evidence at a cost. The sender observes scientific evidence and knows that it will also be observed by the decision maker unless he falsifies it. If he falsifies, then there is a chance that the decision maker observes the falsified evidence rather than the true scientific evidence. First, we investigate the decision maker’s incentives to privately acquire independent evidence, which not only provides additional information to her but can also strengthen or weaken the sender’s falsification effort. Second, we analyse the decision maker’s incentives to acquire information from the sender. The third essay analyses competition between interest groups for access to a policy maker. I study a model of lobbying in which two privately-informed experts (e.g., interest groups) with opposite goals compete for the opportunity to communicate with a policy maker. The main objective is to analyse the benefits which competition for access brings to the policy maker as opposed to hiring an expert in advance. I show that competition for access is advantageous in that it provides the policy maker with some information about the expert who did not gain access and gives the experts an incentive to invest in their communication skills. On the other hand, hiring an expert in advance allows the policy maker to use a monetary reward to incentivise the expert to invest more in his communication skills.

description: Analysing roll call votes from the energy and climate policy field in the Eighth European Parliament (2014–2019), this article asks why has the European Parliament succeeded in maintaining its relatively ambitious position and how national and partizan factors explain voting behaviour of Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) on EU energy and climate legislation. We find the Eurosceptic vs. pro-EU cleavage to be the main conflict line structuring voting on energy and climate policy. Additionally, EU energy and climate policy has been supported by MEPs from member states with a track record of more ambitious climate policymaking and those with higher energy dependence. We show that increasing party fragmentation in the European Parliament has strengthened the influence of some progressive party groups, particularly the Greens, and has enhanced the European Parliament’s ability to mobilize support for a relatively ambitious energy and climate legislation.

description: Le présent travail se propose, en filigrane de L’Amour médecin de Molière, d’éprouver, d’analyser et d’interroger la Démarche stratégique d’enseignement de la littérature en classe, et les processus en action dans sa mise en oeuvre. Éclos dans le riche ferment des théories de la réception et de la conceptualisation du sujet lecteur, cette démarche, pensée et élaborée par les Professeur.es Suzanne Richard et Jacques Lecavalier des Universités Laval et Sherbrooke, s’architecture autour de quatre phases essentielles, à savoir la préparation à la lecture, la lecture, l’analyse et l’interprétation, ainsi que la validation, qui se fondent sur les stratégies dynamiques et interactives de prédiction, de confirmation et d’intégration du geste lecteur. Dans cette perspective, elle revendique que « les élèves interprètent eux-mêmes l’oeuvre lue au lieu que l’enseignant le fasse à leur place » (Lecavlier et Richard, 2010) et offre une multitude de scenarii pédagogiques aux enseignants quel que soit le texte, son genre et sa complexité. Canon classique du corpus littéraire, l’impromptu moliéresque, recélant, en son sein, tous les attributs pour donner lieu à un enseignement institutionnel, peut ainsi s’extirper du carcan et opérer un véritable renversement de paradigme. Tout en discernant les forces et les faiblesses d’une telle entreprise, cette démarche semble avoir, en grande partie, tenu ses promesses en permettant aux élèves, entre appropriation brute et distanciation, et, selon l’hypothèse sous-tendue, d’embrasser et de se figurer, par des stratégies de lectures croisées, les équivoques du discours médical et morbide en jeu dans L’Amour médecin de Molière.

description: A type of multi-sensitive ABC-CBA block copolymer with thermal, glutathione and pH-responsive bonds was synthesized via ring opening polymerization along with cationic ring opening mechanisms. In continuum, the synthesized copolymer strands self-assembled into nanomicelles. The linear copolymer is comprised poly (methoxy ethylene glycol)-b-poly (2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)-b-poly (ε-caprolactone)-cystamine (i.e. [mPEG-b-PEtOz-PCL]2-Cys) and the curcumin was encapsulated inside the micelles mostly through hydrophobic interaction. The H-NMR, FTIR and GPC analysis were applied to identify the composition structure of the copolymer. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) value was achieved favorably 0.01 mg/mL for the synthesized copolymer. The morphology and particle size of solid nanocarrier were characterized by DLS, Zeta potential, AFM, TEM, and SEM micrographs. The drug loading content for the curcumin was attained 13.3% (w/w), and the entrapment efficacy of the drug in nanocarrier was obtained 79 percent. The in vitro release profile of the drug-loaded micelle was investigated by exposure to different pH, temperature and reduction circumstances, stimulated by tumor microenvironment conditions. The cell viability assay of the drug-loaded nanocarrier demonstrates high cytotoxicity toward HDF cells, while the drug-free nanocarrier has trifling toxicity and good biocompatibility. Therefore, according to the pleasant output of the research, this novel nanomicelle based on ABC-CBA block copolymer can be carried out effectively as an efficient nanocarrier in targeted drug delivery.

description: This thesis examines the wellbeing of India and China’s rural-dwellers in Bihar and Gansu administrative units. It focuses on the food and shelter situation within these regions, from the standpoint of the existing status quo and ongoing trends. Moreover, it gives particular consideration to India and China’s governments’ role in the relevant wellbeing outcomes. Accordingly, this thesis argues for the importance of state capacity, and interest alignment, in driving forward development and preventing avoidable death or suffering. This provides a new angle on the dominant, Amartya Sen-inspired development models that emphasize free choice and democracy as the most immediate and preeminent development concerns. Thus, as this thesis proceeds to show, such Senian priorities increasingly lose value in contexts where weak state capacity or non-interest cannot deliver core well-being essentials. For example, populations that continue to either perish or persist with severe impairments from starvation, malnutrition and occupancy of uninhabitable dwellings are unable to exercise substantive freedoms in a manner envisioned by Sen. However, this does not mean this thesis undervalues democracy and freedom, but rather contends, alongside the most recent development sequencing literature, that strong state capacity is a prerequisite for the implementation of stable, lasting and functional democracy. Indeed, state capacity can give people the essential well-being basics to value, comprehend and utilize their freedoms in a full and non-exploited manner. Consequently, this thesis draws on a two-year fieldwork study in Bihar and Gansu’s villages and relies on 230 (215 valid) semi open-ended questionnaires, 29 stakeholder interviews, three focus group discussions and other relevant sources to bolster its argument and analysis.

description: To explore independent risk factors for incomplete radiofrequency ablation (iRFA) of colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRLM) and evaluate adverse outcomes following iRFA. Magnetic resonance imaging data of CRLM patients who received percutaneous RFA were randomized into training (70%) and validation set 1 (30%) data sets. An independent validation set 2 was derived from computed tomography scans. Uni- and multivariate analyses identified independent risk factors for iRFA. Area under the curve (AUC) values were used to evaluate the predictive model performance. Risk points were assigned to independent predictors, and iRFA was predicted according to the total risk score. Kaplan–Meier curves were used to assess new intrahepatic metastases (NIHM), unablated tumor progression, and overall survival (OS). Multivariate regression determined as independent iRFA risk factors perivascular tumor location, subcapsular tumor location, tumor size ≥20 mm, and minimal ablative margin ≤5 mm. The AUC values of the model in the training set, validation set 1, and validation set 2 were 0.867, 0.772, and 0.820, respectively. The respective AUC values of the total risk score were 0.864, 0.768, and 0.817. During the 6-year follow-up, the cumulative OS was significantly shorter in the iRFA than in the complete RFA group, and NIHM (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.79; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.725, 4.513) and unablated tumor progression (HR = 3.473; 95% CI: 1.506, 8.007) were more severe. Perivascular tumor location, subcapsular tumor location, tumor size ≥20 mm, and minimal ablative margin ≤5 mm were independent risk factors for iRFA. iRFA may be a potential predictor of NIHM, unablated tumor progression, and OS.
Ultrafast energy absorption and photoexcitation of bulk plasmon in crystalline silicon subjected to intense near-infrared ultrashort laser pulses

description: We investigate the non-linear response and energy absorption in bulk silicon irradiated by intense 12-fs near-infrared laser pulses. Depending on the laser intensity, we distinguish two regimes of non-linear absorption of the laser energy: for low intensities, energy deposition and photoionization involve perturbative three-photon transition through the direct bandgap of silicon. For laser intensities near and above 10$^{14}$ W/cm$^2$, corresponding to photocarrier density of order 10$^{22}$ cm$^{-3}$, we find that absorption at near-infrared wavelengths is greatly enhanced due to excitation of bulk plasmon resonance. In this regime, the energy transfer to electrons exceeds a few times the thermal melting threshold of Si. The optical reflectivity of the photoexcited solid is found in good qualitative agreement with existing experimental data. In particular, the model predicts that the main features of the reflectivity curve of photoexcited Si as a function of the laser fluence are determined by the competition between state and band filling associated with Pauli exclusion principle and Drude free-carrier response. The non-linear response of the photoexcited solid is also investigated for irradiation of silicon with a sequence of two strong and temporary non-overlapping pulses. The cumulative effect of the two pulses is non-additive in terms of deposited energy. Photoionization and energy absorption on the leading edge of the second pulse is greatly enhanced due to free carrier absorption.

Massive Stars

description: We present results from the archival analysis of all high resolution spectra of massive (O, OB, WR) stars observed with Chandra/HETGS. Thanks to the unmatched spectral resolution of Chandra, we can study the individual emission lines from these stars and now have numerous observations to make such a comprehensive study possible. We explore the morphological trends in the line profiles (in particular O, Ne, Mg, Si) and compare the He-like f/i line ratios and the H/He ratios of more than 30 stars in our sample. The variation of these parameters with spectral class indicate that sources with peculiar properties (e.g., the magnetic star, gamma Cas) stand out as outliers from more regular trends. We also explore other trends, for example the line width, velocity shifts, and X-ray luminosity with wavelength. We find that the velocity offset of lines vs wavelength is steeper for higher mass-loss-rate stars. We also confirm the expectation where there is more absorption in the wind for the higher mass-loss-rate stars, larger velocity offsets result for longer wavelength lines. We discuss these findings and many others in the light of the physical properties of the stars, including single stars like zeta Pup, binary systems like zeta Ori, and colliding wind binaries like WR 25.
C$_{60}$ in intense femtosecond laser pulses: nonlinear dipole response and ionization

description: We study the interaction of strong femtosecond laser pulses with the C$_{60}$ molecule employing time-dependent density functional theory with the ionic background treated in a jellium approximation. The laser intensities considered are below the threshold of strong fragmentation but too high for perturbative treatments such as linear response. The nonlinear response of the model to excitations by short pulses of frequencies up to 45eV is presented and analyzed with the help of Kohn-Sham orbital resolved dipole spectra. In femtosecond laser pulses of 800nm wavelength ionization is found to occur multiphoton-like rather than via excitation of a ``giant'' resonance.

description: In this work, we show how the knowledge of the first few terms of the Euler-Heisenberg Lagrangian's weak-field expansion in a magnetic field background is enough to reconstruct the pair-production rate in a strong electric field background. To this end, we study its associated truncated Borel sum using Padé approximants, as advocated in a recent work by Costin and Dunne, J. Phys. A52, 445205 (2019).

Scalar-field dark energy nonminimally and kinetically coupled to dark matter

description: We provide a general framework for studying the dark energy cosmology in which a scalar field $ϕ$ is nonminimally and kinetically coupled to Cold Dark Matter (CDM). The scalar-graviton sector is described by the action of Horndeski theories with the speed of gravitational waves equivalent to that of light, whereas CDM is treated as a perfect fluid given by a Schutz-Sorkin action. We consider two interacting Lagrangians of the forms $f_1(ϕ,X)ρ_c (n_c)$ and $f_2 (n_c, ϕ,X) J_c^μ \partial_μϕ$, where $X=-\partial^μ ϕ\partial_μ ϕ/2$, $ρ_c$ and $n_c$ are the energy density and number density of CDM respectively, and $J_c^μ$ is a vector field related to the CDM four velocity. We derive the scalar perturbation equations of motion without choosing any special gauges and identify conditions for the absence of ghosts and Laplacian instabilities on scales deep inside the sound horizon. Applying a quasi-static approximation in a gauge-invariant manner, we also obtain the effective gravitational couplings felt by CDM and baryons for the modes relevant to the linear growth of large-scale structures. In particular, the $n_c$ dependence in the coupling $f_2$ gives rise to an interesting possibility for realizing the gravitational coupling with CDM weaker than the Newton gravitational constant $G$.

Applications of Hypervalent Iodine Reagents: From Enantioselective Copper-Catalysed Arylation-Semipinacol Cascade to Methionine Functionalisation for Peptide Macrocyclisation

description: The unifying theme of this thesis is the exploitation of the reactivity of aryliodonium salts as electrophile transfer reagents. In the first part of the thesis, diaryliodonium salts are employed as arylation reagents for the enantioselective copper-catalysed arylative semipinacol rearrangement (SPR) of various tertiary allylic alcohols. This cascade reaction is a rare example of asymmetrically activating SPR using carbon electrophiles. Different substrate classes – including dihydropyran, indene and dihydronaphthalene moieties – are converted to enantioenriched beta-aryl spirocyclic ketones in excellent yields and enantioselectivities, and often as a single diastereomer. These are in turn useful functional handles for transformations into other moieties, including further rearrangements via Baeyer-Villiger oxidation. In the second part of this thesis, a two-step process for the macrocyclisation of native peptides via a non-natural linkage is developed. This study exploits previous work conducted in the group on the use of aryliodonium salts as methionine-selective diazoacetate transfer reagents. The functionalised methionine is in turn used for an intramolecular rhodium-catalysed insertion into tryptophan. Eventual translation onto solid-phase enables facile access into various macrocyclic peptides.
