description: A concrete alternative economy has been developing in Brazil since the end of the 1980s, which involves both country and city workers and is based on the structuring of solidary economic enterprises (SEE), in which selfdeveloped popular cooperatives stand out. This alternative economy has brought with it new challenges, among them the need for ongoing technical, administrative and political education as a fundamental element in the search for equilibrium between social and economic issues. This article analyzes the Solidary Economy in Brazil, particularly from the standpoint of the challenges faced by the cooperative agrarian reform of the Landless Rural Workers' Movement (MST). Starting from the historical process in which landless workers began to organize, agrarian cooperation has become an important tool for the workers' settlements. On the other hand, the reality of the capitalist economy has obliged cooperative workers to adopt administrative tools that contribute toward the social and economic viability of their enterprises. The backdrop to this issue is the need to deepen the debate about the possibility of conceiving SEEs that are capable of survival and growth in the capitalist economy, incorporating technical progress, rationalizing productive and work organization, bringing social benefits to their members, and acting as the political force behind the workers' struggles, as well as ensuring democratic and autonomous administration.

description: We analyze the very short Einstein timescale ($t_\rm E \simeq 7\,{\rm hr}$) event KMT-2019-BLG-2073. Making use of the pronounced finite-source effects generated by the clump-giant source, we measure the Einstein radius $θ_\rm E \simeq 4.8\,\rm μas$, and so infer a mass $M = 59\,M_\oplus (π_\rm{rel}/16 \,\rm μas)^{-1}$, where $π_\rm{rel}$ is the lens-source relative parallax. We find no significant evidence for a host of this planetary mass object, though one could be present at sufficiently wide separation. If so, it would be detectable after about 10 years. This is the fourth isolated microlens with a measured Einstein radius $θ_\rm{E}<10\,\rm μas$, which we argue is a useful threshold for a "likely free-floating planet (FFP)" candidate. We outline a new approach to constructing a homogeneous sample of giant-star finite-source/point-lens (FSPL) events, within which the subsample of FFP candidates can be statistically analyzed. We illustrate this approach using 2019 KMTNet data and show that there is a large $θ_\rm{E}$ gap between the two FFP candidates and the 11 other FSPL events. We argue that such sharp features are more identifiable in a sample selected on $θ_\rm{E}$ compared to the traditional approach of identifying candidates based on short $t_\rm{E}$.

description: In 1995 the ICA adopted a revised set of cooperative principles to guide the movement through the global era of deregulation and competitiveness. This paper, on the basis of the cooperative experience in Canada and emerging trends, deals with the appropriateness of the new ICA principles in reaffirming cooperative values at the member, cooperative and movement levels. Because cooperatives seem to be evolving toward a corporate business logic, consequences are outlined and assessed to bring into question, among other factors, the role of ICA and its guiding principles in the present cooperative impasse. The paper suggests criteria and a framework for re-capturing real cooperative values and principles. Emphasis on education and training, and development of political cooperative leadership along with member-controlled systems, are advanced as instruments to ensure the preservation of cooperative ethics, values and principles in the so-called global economy.

description: Using ALMA observations, we performed the first systematic survey for transient brightenings (i.e. weak, small-scale episodes of energy release) in the quiet solar chromosphere at 3 mm. Our dataset included images of six 87'' x 87'' regions of the quiet Sun obtained with angular resolution of a few arcsec at a cadence of 2 s. The transient brightenings were detected as weak enhancements above the average intensity after we removed the effect of the p-mode oscillations. A similar analysis, over the same regions, was performed for simultaneous 304 and 1600 Å data obtained with the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly. We detected 184 3 mm transient brightening events with brightness temperatures from 70 K to more than 500 K above backgrounds of $\sim 7200-7450$ K. Their mean duration and maximum area were 51.1 s and 12.3 Mm$^2$, respectively, with a weak preference of appearing at network boundaries rather than in cell interiors. Both parameters exhibited power-law behavior with indices of 2.35 and 2.71, respectively. Only a small fraction of ALMA events had either 304 or 1600 Å counterparts but the properties of these events were not significantly different from those of the general population except that they lacked their low-end energy values. The total thermal energies of the ALMA transient brightenings were between $1.5 \times 10^{24}$ and $9.9 \times 10^{25}$ erg and their frequency distribution versus energy was a power law with an index of 1.67. We found that the power per unit area provided by the ALMA events could account for only 1\% of the chromospheric radiative losses (10\% of the coronal ones). Therefore, their energy budget falls short of meeting the requirements for the heating of the upper layers of the solar atmosphere and this conclusion does not change even if we use the least restrictive criteria possible for the detection of transient brightenings.

description: In this paper, the authors analyze the Condominios as economic associations adapted to the characteristics of family agriculture in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina. Firstly, they analyze the process of modernization of Brazilian agriculture that took place in the 1960s and 1970s under the military governments, giving special attention to the selective and exclusive effects this process had on small farmers. Within the framework of this process, they then go on to study the development of cooperativism and demonstrate how the consolidation of macro-cooperative models reflected the interests and characteristics of modernized, export-oriented agriculture. Thirdly, they analyze the origins and development of Condominios as an alternative to the large agricultural cooperatives in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina. Finally, the authors discuss these models of association, which are adapted to the characteristics of small farms and place them in the context of the old Chayanov's views on the family agriculture and the peasantry.

description: Nowadays underwater vision systems are being widely applied in ocean research. However, the largest portion of the ocean - the deep sea - still remains mostly unexplored. Only relatively few image sets have been taken from the deep sea due to the physical limitations caused by technical challenges and enormous costs. Deep sea images are very different from the images taken in shallow waters and this area did not get much attention from the community. The shortage of deep sea images and the corresponding ground truth data for evaluation and training is becoming a bottleneck for the development of underwater computer vision methods. Thus, this paper presents a physical model-based image simulation solution, which uses an in-air texture and depth information as inputs, to generate underwater image sequences taken by robots in deep ocean scenarios. Different from shallow water conditions, artificial illumination plays a vital role in deep sea image formation as it strongly affects the scene appearance. Our radiometric image formation model considers both attenuation and scattering effects with co-moving spotlights in the dark. By detailed analysis and evaluation of the underwater image formation model, we propose a 3D lookup table structure in combination with a novel rendering strategy to improve simulation performance. This enables us to integrate an interactive deep sea robotic vision simulation in the Unmanned Underwater Vehicles simulator. To inspire further deep sea vision research by the community, we will release the source code of our deep sea image converter to the public.

description: Inflation predicts that the Universe is spatially flat. The Planck 2018 measurements of the cosmic microwave background anisotropy favour a spatially closed universe at more than 2$σ$ confidence level. We use model independent methods to study the issue of cosmic curvature. The method reconstructs the Hubble parameter $H(z)$ from cosmic chronometers data with the Gaussian process method. The distance modulus is then calculated with the reconstructed function $H(z)$ and fitted by type Ia supernovae data. Combining the cosmic chronometers and type Ia supernovae data, we obtain $Ω_{k0}h^2=0.102\pm 0.066$ which is consistent with a spatially flat universe at the 2$σ$ confidence level. By adding the redshift space distortions data to the type Ia supernovae data with a proposed novel model independent method, we obtain $Ω_{k0}h^2=0.117^{+0.058}_{-0.045}$ and no deviation from $Λ$CDM model is found.

description: The use of prior information on supply elasticities to calibrate programming models of agricultural supply has been advocated repeatedly in the recent literature (Heckelei and Britz 2005). Yet, Mérel and Bucaram (2009) have shown that the dual goal of calibrating such models to a reference allocation while replicating an exogenous set of supply elasticities is not always feasible. This article lays out the methodological foundation to exactly calibrate programming models of agricultural supply using generalized CES production functions. We formally derive the necessary and sufficient conditions under which such models can be calibrated to replicate the reference allocation while displaying crop-specific supply responses that are consistent with prior information. When it exists, the solution to the exact calibration problem is unique. From a microeconomic perspective, the generalized CES model is preferable to quadratic models that have been used extensively in policy analysis since the publication of Howitt’s (1995) Positive Mathematical Programming. The two types of specifications are also compared on the basis of their flexibility towards calibration, and it is shown that, provided myopic calibration is feasible, the generalized CES model can calibrate larger sets of supply elasticities than its quadratic counterpart. Our calibration criterion has relevance both for calibrated positive mathematical programming models and for “well-posed” models estimated through generalized maximum entropy following Heckelei and Wolff (2003), where it is deemed appropriate to include prior information regarding the value of own-price supply elasticities.

description: Mind perception in robots has been an understudied construct in human-robot interaction (HRI) compared to similar concepts such as anthropomorphism and the intentional stance. In a series of three experiments, we identify two factors that could potentially influence mind perception and moral concern in robots: how the robot is introduced (framing), and how the robot acts (social behaviour). In the first two online experiments, we show that both framing and behaviour independently influence participants' mind perception. However, when we combined both variables in the following real-world experiment, these effects failed to replicate. We hence identify a third factor post-hoc: the online versus real-world nature of the interactions. After analysing potential confounds, we tentatively suggest that mind perception is harder to influence in real-world experiments, as manipulations are harder to isolate compared to virtual experiments, which only provide a slice of the interaction.

description: ‘Healthier food product’ has experienced a rapid growth rate in recent years in U.S. because of the increasing consumer demand for healthier and environmental friendlier lifestyle. This analysis is looking for price discrimination evidences by comparing price cost margins of regular food products and healthier food products. Price cost margins are computed by solving firms' profit maximization problem and relevant parameters are estimated from consumers' choice decisions. Specifically, price elasticities and price coefficients are estimated using nonlinear GMM estimation in order to construct price cost margin. The empirical analysis employs product level ketchup data across 50 MSA in U.S. from 2001 to 2006.

description: The XMM-Newton observation of the narrow-line quasar NAB 0205+024 reveals three striking differences since it was last observed in the X-rays with ASCA. Firstly, the 2-10 keV power-law is notably steeper. Secondly, a hard X-ray flare is detected, very similar to that seen in I Zw 1. Thirdly, a strong and broad emission feature is detected with the bulk of its emission redward of 6.4 keV, and extending down to ~5 keV in the rest frame. The most likely explanation for the broad feature is neutral iron emission emitted from a narrow annulus of an accretion disc close to the black hole. The hard X-ray flare could be the mechanism which illuminates this region of the disc, allowing for the emission line to be detected. The combination of effects can be understood in terms of the `thundercloud' model proposed by Merloni & Fabian.

description: Favorable weather conditions for dryland crop production, including a proper amount of heat and rainfall during the growing season, are critical factors determining yield outcomes. Weather conditions however, are randomly distributed across regions and over time, thus influencing the temporal and geographical patterns of measured crop yield. Failure to account for weather factors when estimating crop yield distributions, time trends or productivity gains can lead to spurious conclusions regarding technology improvement, yield risk and skewness of yield. This paper addresses some limitations in the literature that result from not taking into account weather, and proposes an approach to incorporate weather into modeling yield.

description: One-stage object detectors are trained by optimizing classification-loss and localization-loss simultaneously, with the former suffering much from extreme foreground-background class imbalance issue due to the large number of anchors. This paper alleviates this issue by proposing a novel framework to replace the classification task in one-stage detectors with a ranking task, and adopting the Average-Precision loss (AP-loss) for the ranking problem. Due to its non-differentiability and non-convexity, the AP-loss cannot be optimized directly. For this purpose, we develop a novel optimization algorithm, which seamlessly combines the error-driven update scheme in perceptron learning and backpropagation algorithm in deep networks. We provide in-depth analyses on the good convergence property and computational complexity of the proposed algorithm, both theoretically and empirically. Experimental results demonstrate notable improvement in addressing the imbalance issue in object detection over existing AP-based optimization algorithms. An improved state-of-the-art performance is achieved in one-stage detectors based on AP-loss over detectors using classification-losses on various standard benchmarks. The proposed framework is also highly versatile in accommodating different network architectures. Code is available at https://github.com/cccorn/AP-loss .

Extracting $α$ from the power law ln$(σ^{CF}_{xx}) \propto$ ln$(n_e)^α$ shows that $α\approx 1$. The measured $α \approx 1$ is placed between the predicted value 3/4 in the strong random magnetic field regime, and 3/2 in the weak random magnetic field regime. Comparisons between our results and theory are discussed.

description: This study assesses the initial economic outcomes of the Delta Regional Authority (DRA), which began funding rural development projects in the Mississippi Delta region in 2002. The study focuses on non-metropolitan DRA counties and similar counties elsewhere in the Mississippi Delta region and the southeast, using a quasi-experimental approach that combines matching methods, double and triple difference and switching regression estimation. We find that per capita income and transfer payments grew more rapidly in DRA counties than similar non-DRA counties, and that these impacts are larger in counties in which DRA spending was larger. Each additional dollar of DRA spending per capita is associated with an increase of $15 in personal income per capita between 2002 and 2007, including an increase of $8 in earnings (primarily in the health care and social services sector) and $5 in transfer payments. The increase in transfer payments is mainly due to increased medical transfer payments. We also find that the number of hospital beds per capita increased more in counties where DRA spending per capita was greater. These findings suggest that investments supported by the DRA in improved medical facilities are promoting additional health sector earnings and medical transfer payments.

description: Polarization plays an important role in various time-domain astrophysics to understand the magnetic fields, geometry, and environments of spatially unresolved variable sources. In this paper we present the results of laboratory and on-sky testing of a novel dual-beam, dual-camera optical imaging polarimeter (MOPTOP) exploiting high sensitivity, low-noise CMOS technology and designed to monitor variable and transient sources with low systematic errors and high sensitivity. We present a data reduction algorithm that corrects for sensitivity variations between the cameras on a source-by-source basis. Using our data reduction algorithm, we show that our dual-beam, dual-camera technique delivers the benefits of low and stable instrumental polarization ($<0.05$\% for lab data and $<0.25$\% for on sky data) and high throughput while avoiding the additional sky brightness and image overlap problems associated with dual-beam, single-camera polarimeters.

description: The 46Ti compound nucleus, as populated by the fusion-evaporation reaction 27Al + 19F at the bombarding energy of 144 MeV, has been investigated by charged particle spectroscopy using the multidetector array ICARE at the VIVITRON tandem facility of the IReS (Strasbourg). The light charged particles have been measured in coincidence with evaporation residues. The CACARIZO code, a Monte Carlo implementation of the statistical-model code CASCADE, has been used to calculate the spectral shapes of evaporated alpha-particles which are compared with the experimental spectra. This comparison indicates the possible signature of large deformations of the compound nucleus.

description: For $k \in \mathbb{N}$, write $S(k)$ for the largest natural number such that there is a $k$-colouring of $\{1,\dots,S(k)\}$ with no monochromatic solution to $x-y=z^2$. That $S(k)$ exists is a result of Bergelson, and a simple example shows that $S(k) \geq 2^{2^{k-1}}$. The purpose of this note is to show that $S(k)\leq 2^{2^{2^{O(k)}}}$.

Circumstellar interaction of the type Ia supernova 2002ic

description: We propose a model to account for the bolometric light curve, quasi-continuum and the Ca II emission features of the peculiar type Ia supernova (SN) 2002ic, which exploded in a dense circumstellar envelope. The model suggests that the SN Ia had the maximum possible kinetic energy and that the ejecta expand in an approximately spherically symmetric (possibly clumpy) circumstellar environment. The Ca II and quasi-continuum are emitted by shocked SN ejecta that underwent deformation and fragmentation in the intershock layer. Modeling of the Ca II triplet implies that the contribution of the O I 8446 A line is about 25% of the 8500 A feature on day 234, which permits us to recover the flux in the Ca II 8579 A triplet from the flux of 8500 A blend reported by Deng et al. (2004). We use the Ca II doublet and triplet fluxes on day 234 to derive the electron temperature (~4400 K) in the Ca II line-emitting zone and the ratio of the total area of dense fragments to the area of the shell, S/S_0 ~ 100. We argue that Ca II bands and quasi-continuum originate from different zones of the shocked ejecta that reflect the abundance stratification of the supernova.

description: A strongly-coupled sector can feature a supercooled confinement transition in the early universe. We point out that, when fundamental quanta of the strong sector are swept into expanding bubbles of the confined phase, the distance between them is large compared to the confinement scale. We suggest a modelling of the subsequent dynamics and find that the flux linking the fundamental quanta deforms and stretches towards the wall, producing an enhanced number of composite states upon string fragmentation. The composite states are highly boosted in the plasma frame, which leads to additional particle production through the subsequent deep inelastic scattering. We study the consequences for the abundance and energetics of particles in the universe and for bubble-wall Lorentz factors. This opens several new avenues of investigation, which we begin to explore here, showing that the composite dark matter relic density is affected by many orders of magnitude.

description: The electronic properties and the molecular orientation of Zn-tetraphenyl-porphyrin films deposited on Si(111) have been investigated using synchrotron radiation. For the first time we have revealed and assigned the fine structures in the electronic spectra related to the HOMOs and LUMOs states. This is particularly important in order to understand the orbital interactions, the bond formation and the evolution of the electronic properties with oxidation or reduction of the porphyrins in supramolecular donor-acceptor complexes used in photovoltaic devices.

description: We present the first three-flavor lattice QCD calculations for $D\to πlν$ and $D\to K lν$ semileptonic decays. Simulations are carried out using ensembles of unquenched gauge fields generated by the MILC collaboration. With an improved staggered action for light quarks, we are able to simulate at light quark masses down to 1/8 of the strange mass. Consequently, the systematic error from the chiral extrapolation is much smaller than in previous calculations with Wilson-type light quarks. Our results for the form factors at $q^2=0$ are $f_+^{D\toπ}(0)=0.64(3)(6)$ and $f_+^{D\to K}(0) = 0.73(3)(7)$, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic, added in quadrature. Combining our results with experimental branching ratios, we obtain the CKM matrix elements $|V_{cd}|=0.239(10)(24)(20)$ and $|V_{cs}|=0.969(39)(94)(24)$, where the last errors are from experimental uncertainties.

description: Ultra-high-energy (E$>$100 Tev) Extensive Air Showers (EASs) have been monitored for a period of five years (1997 - 2003), using a small array of scintillator detectors in Tehran, Iran. The data have been analyzed to take in to account of the dependence of source counts with respect to the zenith angle. During a calendar year different sources come in the field of view of the detector at varying zenith angles. Because of varying thickness of the overlaying atmosphere, the shower count rate is extremely dependent on zenith angle which have been carefully analyzed over time. High energy gamma-ray sources from EGRET third catalogue where observed and the data were analyzed using an excess method. A number of upper limits for a number of EGRET sources were obtained, including 6 AGNs or probably AGNs and 4 unidentified sources.

description: In this study, the momentum-kick model is used to understand the ridge behaviours in dihadron $Δη$--$Δφ$ correlations recently reported by the LHC in high-multiplicity proton-proton (pp) collisions. The kick stand model is based on a momentum kick by leading jets to partons in the medium close to the leading jets. The medium where partons move freely is assumed in the model regardless of collision systems. This helps us apply the method to small systems like pp collisions in a simple way. Also, the momentum transfer is purely kinematic and this provides us a strong way to approach the ridge behaviour analytically. There are already several results with this approach in high-energy heavy-ion collisions from the STAR and PHENIX at RHIC and from the CMS at LHC. The momentum-kick model is extended to the recent ridge results in high-multiplicity pp collisions with the ATLAS and CMS at LHC. The medium property in high-multiplicity pp collisions is diagnosed with the result of the model.

description: В результате этого наблюдения была сформирована гипотеза, что иНГЛТ-2 могут оказывать кардиопротективное и нефропротективное действие независимо от причины поражения сердца или почек, а также независимо от наличия илиотсутствия СД.
В сообщении приглашенного эксперта профессора М. Пакера, посвященном обзору протокола EMPEROR-REDUCED, были приведены результаты оценки влияния эмпаглифлозина на сердечно-сосудистую смертность и показатели госпитализации, прогрессирование ХБП, качество жизни больных с ХСН. В рандомизированное, двойное слепое с параллельными группами, плацебо-контролируемое исследование было включено 3730 пациентов, 1863 из которыхполучали эмпаглифлозин, 1867 пациентов — плацебо.Средняя длительность терапии составила 16 мес. Исследование EMPEROR-REDUCED у пациентов с ХСН достигло всех запланированных конечных точек со статистически достоверным результатом.
У больных ХСН через 45 дней после окончания приема эмпаглифлозина снижение скорости клубочковой фильтрации (СКФ) составило 4,2 мл/мин/1,73 м2 у получавших плацебо против 0,9 мл/мин/1,73 м2 в группе терапии эмпаглифлозином (95% ДИ 1,8-4,9, p<0,001). Терапия эмпаглифлозином у больных ХСН снижала риск развития почечной комбинированной конечной точки (начало заместительной почечной терапии, трансплантация почки или выявление стабильного снижения расчетной СКФ более чем на 40% от исходной) — ОР 0,50 (95% ДИ 0,32-0,77).
