description: During the final two decades of the twentieth century, development theory and practice were dominated by a neoliberal ‘Washington Consensus’. This article analyzes the shifting debate over that Consensus. The article focuses on the current ‘elite’ debate about the Consensus in an attempt to gauge the extent of change. It does so by coding primary research materials according to specific Consensus tenets to analyze (1) the individual and collective positions of several prominent, elite actors termed the ‘break-aways’; and (2) the editorial positions of leading publications that serve as key, elite ‘voices’. Washington Consensus tenets are broken into five categories: trade liberalization, deregulation, privatization, financial liberalization and debt-crisis management. This analysis of primary texts leads to the Conclusion that the ‘Washington Consensus’ no longer prevails as an elite northern Consensus, and we are presently not only in a period of debate, but in the midst of a paradigm shift.

description: Photospheric emission may originate from relativistic outflows in two qualitatively different regimes:\ last scattering of photons inside the outflow at the photospheric radius, or radiative diffusion to the boundary of the outflow. In this work the measurement of temperature and flux of the thermal component in the early afterglows of several gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) along with the total flux in the prompt phase are used to determine initial radii of the outflow as well as its Lorentz factors. Results indicate that in some cases the outflow has relatively low Lorentz factors $Γ<10$, favouring cocoon interpretation, while in other cases Lorentz factors are larger $Γ>10$, indicating diffusive photospheric origin of the thermal component, associated with an ultrarelativistic outflow.

description: The ability to automatically detect, classify, calculate the size, number, and grade of retinal cells and other biological objects is critically important in eye disease like age-related macular degeneration (AMD). In this paper, we developed an automated tool based on deep learning technique and Mask R-CNN model to analyze large datasets of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images and quantify retinal cells with high speed and precision. We considered three categories for outer nuclear layer (ONL) cells: live, intermediate, and pyknotic. We trained the model using a dataset of 24 samples. We then optimized the hyper-parameters using another set of 6 samples. The results of this research, after applying to the test datasets, demonstrated that our method is highly accurate for automatically detecting, categorizing, and counting cell nuclei in the ONL of the retina. Performance of our model was tested using general metrics: general mean average precision (mAP) for detection; and precision, recall, F1-score, and accuracy for categorizing and counting.

description: Increasing globalization, technological development, and market fluctuations are just some of the trends that influence the formation of specific competence requirements for managers. Cooperatives are important players in the world, particularly in agriculture, and especially in the processing of milk. It is therefore worth considering what competencies should be developed by managers employed in this industry, in order to provide them with stable and long-term opportunities. The aim of this article is to develop a set of desired competencies for executives in dairy cooperatives. The research included analysis of domestic and foreign literature and of research experts. Among the managerial competencies needed for dairy cooperatives were: personal competencies designated by personal qualities, social competencies related to inter-personal relationships and managerial competencies in the methods used by managers. Dairy cooperative managers should also have a number of typical managerial competencies such as motivation, analytical and strategic thinking, business orientation, customer orientation and leadership. / Synopsis. Postępująca globalizacja, rozwój technologii, wahania koniunktury rynkowej to tylko niektóre trendy mające wpływ na tworzenie specyficznych wymagań kompetencyjnych wobec menedżerów. Spółdzielnie są ważnymi podmiotami na całym świecie, szczególnie w rolnictwie, a zwłaszcza w przetwórstwie mleka. Warto zatem zastanowić się, jakimi kompetencjami powinna wyróżniać się zatrudniona w nich kadra kierownicza, aby zapewniać im stabilny i długotrwały rozwój. Celem opracowania jest zaprezentowanie zestawu pożądanych kompetencji dla kadry kierowniczej w spółdzielniach mleczarskich. Do realizacji przyjętego celu oraz weryfikacji postawionych tez zastosowano analizę literatury krajowej i zagranicznej oraz badania eksperckie. Wśród kompetencji menedżerskich w spółdzielniach mleczarskich wyodrębniono: kompetencje osobiste wyznaczone cechami osobowymi, kompetencje społeczne związane ze stosunkiem do drugiego człowieka i kompetencje menedżerskie polegające na sposobie realizacji roli kierowników. Menedżerowie spółdzielni mleczarskich powinni posiadać szereg typowych kompetencji menedżerskich, takich jak: motywowanie, myślenie analityczne i strategiczne, orientacja w biznesie i orientacja na klienta oraz przywództwo.

description: We study the effect of virtual Coulomb break-up, commonly known as the dipole polarizability, of the deuteron projectile on the astrophysical fusion reaction 3He(d,p)4He. We use the adiabatic approximation to estimate the potential shift due to the E1 transition to the continuum states in the deuteron, and compute the barrier penetrability in the WKB approximation. We find that the enhancement of the penetrability due to the deuteron break-up is too small to resolve the longstanding puzzle observed in laboratory measurements that the electron screening effect is surprisingly larger than theoretical prediction based on an atomic physics model. The effect of the 3He break-up in the 3He(d,p)4He reaction, as well as the 7Li break-up in the 7Li(p,alpha)4He reaction is also discussed.

description: Substitutions at the Mn-site of the charge-ordered Pr0.5Ca0.5MnO3 manganite is an effective way to induce abrupt jumps on the magnetic field driven magnetization curve. In order to get new insights into the origin of this remarkable feature, the Pr0.5Ca0.5Mn0.97Ga0.03O3 perovskite manganite has been studied by neutron diffraction, versus temperature and at 2.5K in an applied magnetic field up to 6 Tesla. A weak and complex antiferromagnetic order is found for the low temperature ground-state. Magnetic transitions, associated with structural ones, are evidenced for certain strengths of magnetic field, which gives rise to the step-like behavior corresponding to the magnetization curve. Small angle neutron scattering provides evidence for a nucleation process of micron size ferromagnetic domains which follows the magnetization behavior.

description: We investigated how a robot moving with different velocity profiles affects a person's perception of it when working together on a task. The two profiles are the common linear profile and a profile based on the animation principles of slow in, slow out. The investigation was accomplished by running an experiment in a home context where people and the robot cooperated on a clean-up task. We used the Godspeed series of questionnaires to gather people's perception of the robot. Average scores for each series appear not to be different enough to reject the null hypotheses, but looking at the component items provides paths to future areas of research. We also discuss the scenario for the experiment and how it may be used for future research into using animation techniques for moving robots and improving the legibility of a robot's locomotion.

description: Africa is viewed as the next business frontier worldwide. In the last decade, we have been witnessing increased investment operations in Africa by US, Chinese, Japanese and European companies. The restrictions of African agricultural production and tourism as a prosperous industry are possible to overcome. The future prospects are favorable. The economy of Mauritius is based on sugar, tourism, textiles and apparel, and financial services, and is rapidly expanding into fish processing, ICT, hospitality and property development. The aim of this paper examines the environment for developing agro and tourism business in Mauritius, which in turn strengthens the private sector. It also identifies opportunities that can stimulate the countries’ broader reform efforts with the ultimate goal of poverty reduction. / Synopsis.

The poor and the environment : friends or foes?
Creators: name: Broad, Robin
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The conventional literature in the environment and development field often presents a rather deterministic view of the relationship between poverty and the environment, revolving around the negative impact of the poor on the environment. Based on extensive fieldwork in rural communities across the Philippines, this article is a case study of that relationship between the poor and the environ- ment in a country with severe poverty rates. significant environmental degradation, and a highly orga- nized civil society. As a country where large numbers of poorer people have been transformed into envi- ronmental activists, the Philippines offers both a refutation of the traditional paradigm of poor people as environmental destroyers and enormous insights into the conditions under which poor people become environmental protectors. This case study leads the author to posit a set of conditions under which poor people become environmental activists rather than environmental degraders. Suggestions are made as to the relevance of the Philippine case study for understanding the relationship between the poor and the environment in other parts of the Third World

description: We study the family of quadratic maps f_a(x) = 1 - ax^2 on the interval [-1,1] with a between 0 and 2. When small holes are introduced into the system, we prove the existence of an absolutely continuous conditionally invariant measure using the method of Markov extensions. The measure has a density which is bounded away from zero and is analogous to the density for the corresponding closed system. These results establish the exponential escape rate of Lebesgue measure from the system, despite the contraction in a neighborhood of the critical point of the map. We also prove convergence of the conditionally invariant measure to the SRB measure for f_a as the size of the hole goes to zero.

description: To evaluate the economic burden associated with therapeutic inertia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) in Denmark. The economic burden for a newly diagnosed Danish T2D population was estimated using a validated diabetes model (The Swedish Institute for Health Economics (IHE) Cohort model), based on achieving varying levels of glycemic control. The analyses were based on clinical data from the Danish Centre for Strategic Research (DD2) and supplemented with relevant Swedish data where variables were missing. The analysis estimated the economic burden for populations achieving different guideline-recommended targets for glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and for a number of therapeutic inertia scenarios. To estimate the population-level burden Danish specific epidemiology data were incorporated. All costs are reported in 2020 Danish kroner (DKK) and 2020 Euros (€). The baseline HbA1c level used for this analysis was 7.9% (63 mmol/mol), which was observed in newly diagnosed Danish T2D patients prior to their first anti-diabetic treatment. Therapeutic inertia was associated with substantial economic burden compared to achieving immediate glycemic control (target < 6.5% (< 48 mmol/mol)). Per patient burdens were between 3562 DKK and 20,160 DKK (€477– €2701) dependent on the duration of therapeutic inertia (1−7 years), with this further increased when indirect costs were included (9649 DKK to 51,585 DKK [€1393–€6912]). The economic burden at a population level was between 27 million DKK to 150 million DKK (€3.6 million to €20 million), dependent on the duration of therapeutic inertia, rising to 72 million DKK to 384 million DKK (€9.6 million to €51.4 million) when indirect costs were included. Achieving early and intensive glycemic control, thereby minimizing therapeutic inertia can lead to substantial savings for the Danish society, ranging between 72 million DKK and 384 million DKK (€9.6 million to €51.4 million) (1−7 years of therapeutic inertia). This study highlights that efforts to minimize therapeutic inertia, by securing timely intensification before individual HbA1c targets are exceeded, results in significant long-term cost savings in Denmark.
Undulation instabilities in cholesteric liquid crystals induced by anchoring transitions

Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: Cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) have a characteristic length scale given by the pitch of the twisted stacking of their constituent rod-like molecules. Under homeotropic anchoring conditions where the molecules prefer to orient perpendicular to an interface, cholesteric interfaces exhibit striped phases with stripe widths commensurate with the pitch. Conversely, planar anchoring conditions have the molecules remain in the plane of the interface so that the CLC twists perpendicular to it. Recent work [L. Tran et al. Phys. Rev. X 7, 041029 (2017)] shows that varying the anchoring conditions dramatically rearranges the CLC stripe pattern, exchanging defects in the stripe pattern with defects in the molecular orientation of the liquid crystal molecules. We show with experiments and numerical simulations that the CLC stripes also undergo an undulation instability when we transition from homeotropic to planar anchoring conditions and vice versa. The undulation can be interpreted as a transient relaxation of the CLC resulting from a strain in the cholesteric layers due to a tilting pitch axis, with properties analogous to the classic Helfrich-Hurault instability. We focus on CLC shells in particular and show that the spherical topology of the shell also plays an important role in shaping the undulations.

The quantity and the value of the export and import of fresh vegetables and their preserves were researched. The balance of foreign trade was also calculated. To illustrate the changes the analyzed period was divided into four sub-periods, for which the dynamics of change were calculated. Within the sub-periods, exports and imports were presented in terms of their quantity, values and geographical structure. Results show that in the analyzed period the volume and value of exports and imports increased. The increase in imports was higher. Exports saw an especially high increase in tomatoes and tomato products, while imports saw increases in other vegetables. In the geographical structure of exports, the importance of EU countries dropped and the share of exports to the CIS states grew. In the geographical structure of imports, there was an increase from EU-15 countries and a decrease of from EU-12 countries. / Synopsis.

De-mystifying problematics of Zimbabwe’s broadcasting frequencies spectrum allocation: case of free-to air digital terrestrial television licensing

description: Although Zimbabwe opened its airwaves to private players in 2002, broadcasting spectrum frequency licensing has remained contentious with some stakeholders arguing the process lacks transparency and is deceptive to media reform. We therefore seek to answer two key questions in this article: What are the impediments encountered in liberating the broadcasting industry in Zimbabwe since independence? To what extent is Zimbabwe’s broadcasting frequency spectrum licensing regime transparent, open and participatory? The article analyses if the licensing regimen meets International Telecommunications Union (ITU), continental and regional benchmarks of transparency, openness, fairness and inclusivity in allocation and assignment of frequencies. It investigates and unpacks policies and principles concerning frequency spectrum allocation for broadcasting in Zimbabwe. Documentary analysis is employed in examining policy documents which outline terms of reference and requirements for frequency spectrum allocation. We also conducted in-depth interviews with broadcasting policy makers and industrial voices such as applicants who were denied licenses. Four stations (two awarded and two denied) licenses and were purposively sampled for in-depth interviews. Findings in this study reveal that the adjudication and scoring of the licensees is not transparent, neither is it open and bidders do not have a say in the licensing process.

description: Income distribution analyses can be conducted from the point of view of the comparisons between different geographical regions, family types or socio-economic groups as well as to assess the effects of an economic policy over time. In the study, the results of a research on income distributions in Poland by socio-economic group, with a special attention paid to the families of farmers in the years 2006-2014, are presented. They allowed to formulate several conclusions concerning the changes of income inequality, poverty and wealth for farmers as compared with different household groups distinguished by the Central Statistical Office of Poland. In the analysis we utilized Gini and Zenga inequality measures, quintile dispersion ratio, extremal groups dispersion ratio and the coefficient of maximum equalisation. / Synopsis. Badania dochodów gospodarstw domowych są istotne zarówno z punktu widzenia analiz zmian w czasie, jak też porównań rozkładów w różnych regionach geograficznych, grupach społecznych, czy typach gospodarstw. W pracy przedstawione są wyniki badań rozkładów dochodów w grupie gospodarstw domowych rolników w wybranych latach. Pozwalają one sformułować wnioski dotyczące zmian wielkości dochodów, zmian ich nierównomierności, poziomu ubóstwa, czy bogactwa na przestrzeni kilku lat. Do analiz wykorzystano miary takie jak indeks Giniego i Zengi oraz miary zróżnicowania kwintylowego, zróżnicowania skrajnych części dochodu i maksymalnego wyrównania. Badania rozkładu dochodów rozszerzono na inne grupy społeczno-ekonomiczne w celu dokonania porównań dość nietypowej grupy jaką są gospodarstwa rolników z innymi grupami wyróżnionymi przez GUS.

The poor and the environment : friends or foes?

subject: Human society

description: The conventional literature in the environment and development field often presents a rather deterministic view of the relationship between poverty and the environment, revolving around the negative impact of the poor on the environment. Based on extensive fieldwork in rural communities across the Philippines, this article is a case study of that relationship between the poor and the environ- ment in a country with severe poverty rates. significant environmental degradation, and a highly orga- nized civil society. As a country where large numbers of poorer people have been transformed into envi- ronmental activists, the Philippines offers both a refutation of the traditional paradigm of poor people as environmental destroyers and enormous insights into the conditions under which poor people become environmental protectors. This case study leads the author to posit a set of conditions under which poor people become environmental activists rather than environmental degraders. Suggestions are made as to the relevance of the Philippine case study for understanding the relationship between the poor and the environment in other parts of the Third World

description: The aim of the study was to examine the relation between the supply-side factors and the prices of sour cherries for processing in Poland. Analysis of the relation between prices of sour cherries for processing in Poland and the amount of cherry production and export in selected countries was carried out using the correlation coefficients of Pearson and Spearman's. The production of sour cherries in the countries - largest producers and exporters (Hungary, Serbia, Poland) was negatively correlated with the prices of sour cherries for processing in Poland. The production of sour cherries in the countries-importers (Germany, USA) was also negatively correlated with the prices for sour cherry. The relation between the amount of sour cherries export from Hungary, Serbia and Poland and prices for sour cherries in Poland was weak and statistically non-significant. Export volume was negatively correlated with the prices for sour cherries in Poland. / Synopsis. Celem pracy było zbadanie związku czynników podażowych na rynku wiśni z cenami skupu wiśni do przetwórstwa w Polsce. Analizę związku pomiędzy cenami skupu wiśni a wielkością produkcji wiśni w poszczególnych krajach oraz poziomem eksportu wiśni przeprowadzono przy wykorzystaniu współczynników korelacji Pearsona oraz Spearmana. Wielkość produkcji wiśni w krajach, będących ich największymi producentami i eksporterami (Węgry, Serbia Polska) była ujemnie skorelowana z cenami skupu wiśni do przetwórstwa w Polsce. Wielkość produkcji wiśni w krajach będących ich importerami (Niemcy, USA) była również ujemnie skorelowana z cenami skupu wiśni w Polsce. Związek pomiędzy wielkością eksportu wiśni z Węgier, Serbii i Polski a cenami skupu wiśni w Polsce był słaby i nieistotny statystycznie. Korelacja pomiędzy wielkością eksportu wiśni z tych krajów a cenami skupu wiśni w Polsce była ujemna.

description: We have elucidated the hnRNP K promoter as a hotspot for tetraplex-based molecular switches receptive to micro-environmental stimuli. We have characterised the structural features of four tetraplex-forming loci and identified them as binding sites of transcription factors. These segments form either G-quadruplex or i-motif structures, the structural dynamicity of which has been studied in depth via several biophysical techniques. The tetraplexes display high dynamicity and are influenced by both pH and KCl concentrations in vitro. The loci complementary to these sequences form additional non-canonical secondary structures. In the cellular context, the most eminent observation of this study is the binding of hnRNP K to the i-motif forming sequences in its own promoter. We are the first to report a probable transcriptional autoregulatory function of hnRNP K in coordination with higher-order DNA structures. Herein, we also report the positive interaction of the endogenous tetraplexes with Sp1, a well-known transcriptional regulator. Treatment with tetraplex-specific small molecule ligands further uncovered G-quadruplexes’ functioning as repressors and i-motifs as activators in this context. Together, our findings strongly indicate the critical regulatory role of the identified tetraplex elements in the hnRNP K promoter. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: Response to uniaxial stress has become a major probe of electronic materials. Tuneable uniaxial stress may be applied using piezoelectric actuators, and so far two methods have been developed to couple samples to actuators. In one, actuators apply force along the length of a free, beam-like sample, allowing very large strains to be achieved. In the other, samples are affixed directly to piezoelectric actuators, allowing study of mechanically delicate materials. Here, we describe an approach that merges the two: thin samples are affixed to a substrate, that is then pressurized uniaxially using piezoelectric actuators. Using this approach, we demonstrate application of large elastic strains to mechanically delicate samples: the van der Waals-bonded material FeSe, and a sample of CeAuSb$_2$ that was shaped with a focused ion beam.

description: Cigarette smokers vulnerable to depression experience considerable difficulty quitting smoking, possibly because they use smoking to manage negative affect and possess underdeveloped alternative coping skills for doing so. Efforts to adapt cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) of depression to the treatment of depression-vulnerable smokers have achieved inconsistent results. This research tested one possible explanation for these mixed results, the possibility that depression-vulnerable smokers are not actually deficient in the skills taught in CBT. Regular smokers with a history of major depression, but not currently in a depressive episode (n = 66), scored worse than did never-depressed smokers (n = 68) on the Ways of Responding (WOR; Barber & DeRubeis, 1992) test of skills for coping with negative moods and automatic thoughts. Results were similar in analyses using self-rated depression proneness, rather than interview-based diagnosis of past major depression, as the marker of depression vulnerability. Results were (nonsignificantly) stronger for Caucasian (n = 54) than for African American (n = 73) smokers. Implications for future research on cognitive coping, CBT, and smoking are discussed.

description: The aim of the study is to evaluate the results of management of production resources in orchard farms against the background of all farms. Production efficiency of the land resources of fruit farms was almost twice as high as that of the all farms, the productivity of the involved capital was similar in both groups of farms, and the productivity of the labour spent was smaller in the orchard farms, as these farms engaged significantly more labour. Farms specializing in orchard production achieved considerably higher incomes than all farms, so the economic efficiency of resource management was also higher in these holdings, especially the yield of land (more than two and a half times). It is worth emphasizing that the subsidies to farm businesses had a much lower share of the income of fruit farms than in the total income of agricultural holdings. / Synopsis. Celem opracowania jest ocena wyników gospodarowania zasobami produkcyjnymi w gospodarstwach sadowniczych na tle ogółu gospodarstw rolnych. Efektywność produkcyjna zasobów ziemi gospodarstw sadowniczych ukształtowała się na prawie dwukrotnie wyższym poziomie niż gospodarstw ogółem, produktywność zaangażowanego kapitału była zbliżona w obu grupach gospodarstw, zaś produktywność wydatkowanej pracy była mniejsza w gospodarstwach sadowniczych, ponieważ gospodarstwa te angażowały znacznie większe nakłady pracy. Gospodarstwa specjalizujące się w produkcji sadowniczej uzyskały znacznie wyższe dochody niż ogół gospodarstw rolnych, dlatego efektywność ekonomiczna gospodarowania zasobami była także większa w tych gospodarstwach, zwłaszcza dochodowość zasobów ziemi (ponad dwu i półkrotnie). Dopłaty do działalności gospodarstw rolnych miały znacznie mniejszy udział w dochodach gospodarstw sadowniczych niż w dochodach ogółu gospodarstw rolnych.

description: We classify multipartite entangled states in the 2 x 2 x n (n >= 4) quantum system, for example the 4-qubit system distributed over 3 parties, under local filtering operations. We show that there exist nine essentially different classes of states, and they give rise to a five-graded partially ordered structure, including the celebrated Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) and W classes of 3 qubits. In particular, all 2 x 2 x n-states can be deterministically prepared from one maximally entangled state, and some applications like entanglement swapping are discussed.
