description: The behavior in magnetic fields of a highly correlated electron liquid approaching the fermion condensation quantum phase transition from the disordered phase is considered. We show that at sufficiently high temperatures $T\geq T^*(x)$ the effective mass starts to depend on $T$, $M^*\propto T^{-1/2}$. This $T^{-1/2}$ dependence of the effective mass at elevated temperatures leads to the non-Fermi liquid behavior of the resistivity, $ρ(T)\propto T$ and at higher temperatures $ρ(T)\propto T^{3/2}$. The application of a magnetic field $B$ restores the common $T^2$ behavior of the resistivity. The effective mass depends on the magnetic field, $M^*(B)\propto B^{-2/3}$, being approximately independent of the temperature at $T\leq T^*(B)\propto B^{4/3}$. At $T\geq T^*(B)$, the $T^{-1/2}$ dependence of the effective mass is re-established. We demonstrate that this $B-T$ phase diagram has a strong impact on the magnetoresistance (MR) of the highly correlated electron liquid. The MR as a function of the temperature exhibits a transition from the negative values of MR at $T\to 0$ to the positive values at $T\propto B^{4/3}$. Thus, at $T\geq T^*(B)$, MR as a function of the temperature possesses a node at $T\propto B^{4/3}$.

description: This research had the objective of analyzing the legislative opinions regarding the proposed amendment of Law no. 11.105 / 2005 (Biosafety Law) that conforms the Draft Law º? (CRA), the Committee on the Environment (CMA), the Committee on Science, Technology, Innovation, Communication and Information Technology (CCT) and in the Committee on Social Affairs (CAS) - all within the scope of the Federal Senate. As a complementary objective, it sought to identify, on the one hand, the possible consequences of this legislative change to biotechnology companies, small producers and small businessmen and, on the other hand, potential violations of consumer rights. The conclusion reached was that the proposal deprecates the constitutional right of information and the precautionary principle. As regards the first, according to the terms of the proposal, the food consumer will not be informed of the possible presence of genetically modified organisms if they are less than 1% of the total composition of the product; in addition, it will not receive information that would be expected to be broad and adequate on food labels whose composition has a concentration higher than that limit, leaving no real conditions for a mature choice as to the consumption of these foods. Regarding the lack of precaution, there is no conclusive scientific analysis on the impacts of genetically modified foods, whether harmful or beneficial, on human health; it should be added that transgenics have different biological consequences and consequences, depending on who ingests the food, which is why it is even more important for the consumer to be able to consciously choose foodstuffs that may contain transgenics. The research also concludes that the legal proposal that allows the small farmer and the small business owner to mention the non-use of genetically modified organisms in their products is innocuous and ineffective, since the analysis necessary to prove the composition of the food produced generates costs that are passed on to the consumer, violating free competition. The methodology used, as far as the means, was of the deductive and descriptive methods, through doctrinal, bibliographical and legal analysis. As for the purposes, the research was qualitative.

description: One approach to rationalising policies for addressing potentially catastrophic climate change when such policies may prove unnecessary is to suppose the policies provide a form of social insurance even in the presence of pure uncertainty. Then, provided the policies are effective, such insurance can be justified as a precautionary or minimax response. Even if the policies are potentially ineffective however, intervention can be justified as an attempt to minimise the regret experienced by future generations. This reasoning extends to justify ‘all weather’ policies provided such policies always reduce policy costs. If, however, policy decisions provide ‘all weather’ benefits in only certain states of the world, this rationale breaks down. Minimising regret can establish a case for ‘mixed’ policy responses provided adopting a policy mix precludes the chance that intervention will fail altogether. Precautionary policies and policies which minimise regret are computed for a simple, dynamic, adaptive climate change planning problem and sufficient conditions for policy maker pessimism provided.

description: Over the past decades, growth in foreign direct investment (FDI) has stimulated significant attempts at developing theories that explain this trend. One line of this research explores the relationship between exchange rates and FDI. There is no consensus about the nature of this relationship in either the theoretical or empirical work. In this article, we critically appraise this body of work, and find the theoretical studies to be making ground in exploring the complexities of FDI, but the empirical evidence to be constrained by data problems.

Rotation and figure evolution in the creep tide theory. A new approach and application to Mercury

description: This paper deals with the rotation and figure evolution of a planet near the 3/2 spin-orbit resonance and the exploration of a new formulation of the creep tide theory (Folonier et al. 2018). This new formulation is composed by a system of differential equations for the figure and the rotation of the body simultaneously (which is the same system of equations used in Folonier et al. 2018), different from the original one (Ferraz-Mello, 2013, 2015a) in which rotation and figure were considered separately. The time evolution of the figure of the body is studied for both the 3/2 and 2/1 spin-orbit resonances. Moreover, we provide a method to determine the relaxation factor gamma of non-rigid homogeneous bodies whose endpoint of rotational evolution from tidal interactions is the 3/2 spin-orbit resonance, provided that (i) an initially faster rotation is assumed and (ii) no permanent components of the flattenings of the body existed at the time of the capture in the 3/2 spin-orbit resonance. The method is applied to Mercury, since it is currently trapped in a 3/2 spin-orbit resonance with its orbital motion and we obtain 4.8 times 10 -8 s -1 lower than gamma lower than 4.8 times 10 -9 s -1 . The equatorial prolateness and polar oblateness coefficients obtained for Mercury's figure with such range of values of gamma are the same as the ones given by the Darwin-Kaula model (Matsuyama and Nimmo 2009). However, comparing the values of the flattenings obtained for such range of gamma with those obtained from MESSENGER's measurements (Perry et al. 2015), we see that the current values for Mercury's equatorial prolateness and polar oblateness are 2-3 orders of magnitude larger than the values given by the tidal theories.

description: Evaluation of off-site mitigation entails comparison of utility changes between two sites. Choice modelling has been used to identify community willingness to trade-off attributes for two different types of stream in New Zealand. Estimated utility functions are used to derive marginal rates of substitution and stream attribute part worths which can be used to design or evaluate both on-site and off-site mitigation policy. Latent class multinomial logit models identified classes of citizens who valued stream attributes quite differently. Significant differences in values for some attributes on different stream types imply heterogeneous mitigation ratios across environmental attributes.

description: The article aims to verify the extent to which extrajudicial mediation can be more effective than the intervention of the judiciary in the solution, remediation and accountability of environmental disasters. From Resolution No. 125 of November 29, 2010, the National Council of Justice took an important step to stimulate Mediation and Conciliation. Through bibliographic and documentary research, it was concluded that mediation, because it is a quick means of conflict resolution and is mediated by an impartial mediator, proves to be a skillful means for the effective and sustainable solution of environmental conflicts, in line with what it imposes. current public policy on the proper handling of conflicts.

description: In this note, we discuss the derivation of a formula that has been used in the literature in order to compute the number of photons emitted by a hot or dense system during a finite time. Our derivation is based on a variation of the standard operator-based $S$-matrix approach. The shortcomings of this formula are then emphasized, which leads to a negative conclusion concerning the possibility of using it to predict transient effects for the photon rate.

description: Variety change and genetic diversity are important means of combating crop losses from pests and diseases in modern agricultural systems. Since the Green Revolution, genetic diversity among wheat varieties released in India has increased but variety change on farms continues to be slow. In this article, we define and summarise indices of variety change and genetic diversity for the wheat varieties released and grown in Indian Punjab during the post-Green Revolution period. We evaluate the effect of each index on technical efficiency with a Cobb-Douglas yield model after testing for exogeneity. Findings support the hypothesis that slow variety change has offset the positive productivity effects of diversifying the genetic base in wheat breeding during the post-Green Revolution period. Policies that speed the rate of variety change and contribute to a more equitable spatial distribution of modern varieties could support wheat productivity in the Punjab of India, reinforcing plant breeding successes.

In particular, we explore the divergence of the appropriate relaxation times in the case of hard spheres as the limit of random close packing is approached. We illustrate the analogy in the critical case, and suggest a ``normal form'' that can capture the onset of dynamic self-similarity in both phenomena.

description: At the very first stage of an ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus collision new particles are produced in individual nucleon-nucleon collisions. In the transverse plane, all particles from a single $NN$ collision are initially located at the same position. The subsequent thermalization and transverse radial expansion of the system create strong position-momentum correlations and lead to characteristic rapidity, transverse momentum, and azimuthal correlations among the produced particles.

In particular, we define a NNLL radiator for three hard emitters, and discuss new features of NNLL corrections arising specifically in this case. As an example, we present predictions for the $D$-parameter, matched to exact NLO. After inclusion of hadronisation corrections in the dispersive approach, we compare our predictions with LEP1 data.

description: ABSTRACT : Introduction: A non-communicable disease (NCD) is a disease that is not transmissible directly from one individual to another risk factors such as a person’s background, lifestyle and environment increase the likelihood of certain NCDs.1 Now a days obesity caused non-communicable diseases are increased tremendously. The obesity can block the blood vessels that leads to increase in vascular resistance and in turn increases the work of the heart. This leads to increased blood pressure. That is known as hypertension. It is important to reduce the hypertension by the reduction of body weight. Both hypertension and obesity are related to a very extent and it is becoming a major health issue among the adults in India.2 The present study title: A study to assess the knowledge regarding the impact of obesity on non-communicable diseases among adults in selected urban areas of Pune city.The objective of To assess the knowledge regarding impact of obesity on non- communicable disease and associate those findings with demographic variables. Material and Methods: In present study, researcher adopted non- experimental and exploratory design was used. Data analysis was done mainly using descriptive statistics. Data collected on 100 samples. Non –probability convenient sampling technique was used. Result : The finding of the study reveals that majority of adults are having average knowledge (91%) regarding the impact of obesity on non-communicable diseases, few adults are having good or excellent knowledge (8%) and only (1%) of adults are having poor knowledge. Conclusion: The study concluded that scenarios most of the adults have only an average knowledge regarding the impact of obesity on non?communicable diseases. And the knowledge or findings are associated or related to the type of family and the educational qualifications they have.

description: One component of biosecurity is protection against invasive alien species, which are one of the most important threats worldwide to native biodiversity and economic profitability in various sectors, including agriculture. However, agricultural producers are not homogeneous. They may have different objectives and priorities, use different technologies, and occupy heterogeneous parcels of land. If the producers differ in terms of their attitude towards invasive pests and the damages they cause, there are probably external effects in the form of pest spread impacts and subsequent damages caused. We study such impacts in the case of two producer types: profit-seeking professional producers and utility-seeking hobby producers. We show that the hobby producer, having first set a breeding ground for the pest, under-invests in pest control. We also discuss potential policy instruments to correct this market failure and highlight the importance of considering different stakeholders and their heterogeneous incentives when designing policies to control invasive alien species.

Subjects: Ageism, Age Discrimination, Ethics, Communication

description: General background: Ageism: prejudice, stereotypical assumptions and discrimination based on age, are omnipresent in research. Even more so with older adults with cognitive impairment. Older adults are often excluded from research due to perception of them as incompetent, reasons of group homogeneity or confounding bias. Researchers often justify using an upper age limit by stressing that participants need to be reliable and fully cognitively
 competent to consent. While some of these concerns might be justified
 as "looking out" for those who are more dependent and vulnerable,
 these concerns could also be viewed as ageist perspectives. More so,
 exclusion based on age might actually harm validity and generalizability
 of the findings. This study aims to identify guidelines for inclusion rather
 than exclusion and advocate for non-ageist research.
 Method: In order to identify main ethical concerns in research involving older
 adults (including older adults with cognitive impairment), an argumentative review of the literature was performed. The review focused on identifying considerations and guidelines in themes of inclusion, consent, autonomy, privacy and specific ethical considerations regarding use of technology.
 Results and conclusions: Inclusion rather than exclusion of older adults in research may provide a better and more accurate understanding of the studied subject. Furthermore, in can reduce the stigma and exclusion older adults endure in research and in society, give a sound to their unique voice and improve their well-being. It is important to consider competencies and
 limitations in every individual, based on a valid assessment rather than
 age-based assumptions. Competency to participate should be assessed
 in a broader and more holistic way, while patient and situation characteristics must be individually taken into account. Suggested means to promote inclusion, obtain consent, maintaining privacy and specific considerations regarding use of technology in research, are presented.

 Remarks. According to KඅඎǤ (1829: 2), the type material was collected (translated): ‘in South Brazil, in the vicinity of Montevideo, Cassapava [= Caçapava do Sul], Porto Allegre by [Friedrich] Sellow’; the locality data were interpreted by following authors only as South Brazil. In the same work, Klug described another 18 species of Cassidinae, most of which are very common and widespread through the entire basin of the Paraná River. Their type specimens are morphologically similar to populations from Rio Grande do Sul while populations from the estuary of the Paraná River (including Montevideo area) are morphologically more or less distinct. Therefore, I assume that the Cassidinae were most likely collected in Porto Alegre or Caçapava do Sul, both located in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul.

description: NbRh$_{2}$B$_{2}$ crystallises in a chiral noncentrosymmetric structure and exhibits bulk type-II superconductivity below $7.46(5)$~K. Here we show that the temperature dependence of the upper critical field deviates from the behaviour expected for both Werthamer-Helfand-Hohenberg and the Ginzburg-Landau models and that $μ_{0}H_{\mathrm{c2}}\left(0\right)\approx 18$~T exceeds the Pauli paramagnetic limit, $μ_{0}H_{\mathrm{P}}=13.9$~T. We explore the reasons for this enhancement. Transverse-field muon spectroscopy measurements suggest that the superconducting gap is either $s$-wave or $\left(s+s\right)$-wave, and the pressure dependence of $T_{\mathrm{c}}$ reveals the superconducting gap is primarily $s$-wave in character. The magnetic penetration depth $λ(0) = 595(5)$~nm. Heat capacity measurements reveal the presence of a multigap $\left(s+s\right)$-wave superconducting order parameter and moderate electron-phonon coupling.

description: The aims of this study are to investigate the influence of large-scale atmospheric circulation quantified by indices such as the North Atlantic Oscillation index (NAOI), the Greenland-Balkan Oscillation index (GBOI) and blocking-type indices on the Lower Danube discharge. We separately analysed each season for the 1948–2000 period. In addition to the statistical linear procedure, we applied methods to quantify nonlinear connections between variables, as mutual information between predictors and predictand, using Shannon’s information entropy theory. The nonlinear correlation information between climate indices and discharge is higher than that obtained from the linear measure, providing more insight into real connections. Also, the non-stationarity of the link between variables is highlighted by spectral coherence based on wavelet analysis. For the physical interpretation, we analyse composite maps over the Atlantic-European region. The most significant influence on the discharge of the Lower Danube Basin is given by the GBOI and blocking-type atmospheric circulation over Europe.

Of special interest are the presence and nature of scale effects, complementarity effects and convexity effects in ecosystem functioning. Implications for agricultural productivity and the economics of agriculture are evaluated. At the farm level, this helps to better understand the current trend toward greater specialisation. Current challenges for agricultural contracts, markets and policy are explored.

description: The chapter aims at overview of the recently adopted State Program of the Russian Federation for Development of Agriculture and Regulation of Agricultural Commodities Markets in 2013-2020 and specifics of its application in Russia in the conditions of trade liberalization. The Program is important to be analyzed in the frameworks of the current joint international research, since it emphasizes a social and rural development orientation, although the planned funds for these sub-programs are small. The research considers four applications of the given State Program: compliance with WTO requirements, state support of agriculture, provision of food security, and ensurance of sustainable rural development. In the process of chapter development authors addressed the report “Agriculture Development Program 2013-2020” by USDA Foreign Agricultural Service, report of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation and data provided by the Federal Service of Statistics of the Russian Federation. The chapter results in the conclusion that state policies in the sphere of rural development have to evolve beyond the traditional, sector-based model, with its almost exclusive focus on agriculture. Contemporary set of tools to ensure sustainable rural development should be based on the multi-sectoral strategies and programs that identify and better exploit the development potential of rural area through a variety of factors: national food security, agricultural production, liberalization of trade and foreign economic activities, support of local producers and rural households, rural infrastructure, environmental and recreational potential.

description: Quantum--mechanical operators corresponding to canonical momentum and position of a point--like particle, which follow from the quantum field theory in the general Riemannian space-time, satisfy generally to a deformation of the canonical commutation relations with $c^{-2}$ as the parameter of deformation. For operators of the quasi-Cartesian coordinates in the closed and open Friedman--Robertson--Walker models, the deformation reproduces the spatial part of the well--known Snyder formula for quantization of the Minkowsky space-time. The spatially-flat models are distinguished apart by that the deformation is reduced exactly to the standard canonical commutation relations, which correlates remarkably with the fact of the observed flatness of the Universe. Conditions are briefly discussed for which the deformation could have cosmological manifestations. Key words: quantum mechanics, cosmology, quantized space.

description: The advent of more precise measurements of distance estimates for some objects (bayesian estimates for filaments, trigonometric estimates for masers) permits a better comparison of their relative locations, and a comparison with a most recent spiral arm model fitted to the diffuse CO 1-0 gas. Our results support the idea that some bone-like filaments, greater than 10 pc (labeled elsewhere as bones, mst, herschel) and smaller than 100 pc, are observed near the potential minimum of the Scutum spiral arm (bone-like filaments are offset outward from masers by about 200 pc).

description: This study uses passive acoustic monitoring techniques to investigate the potential of Autonomous Underwater Gliders for assessing and localizing a controlled vessel through underwater radiated noise. The propagation of noise was investigated through an advanced propagation loss model utilizing oceanography data collected by the glider. Comprehensive sea trials were conducted using a Slocum G3 glider equipped with acoustic capabilities. These trials involved capturing the underwater radiated noise from a specific vessel while simultaneously collecting oceanographic data. The first step involved identifying the noise pattern of the target vessel and assessing the individual noise sources in accordance with ISO standards. Subsequent trials involved using a glider, a hydrophone array, and a seabed-moored hydrophone to further analyze vessel noise signatures. The acoustic performance of the glider was compared to that of other conventional stationary platforms. A study was conducted to evaluate the self-noise produced by the glider in order to ensure the precision of the acoustic data. Furthermore, sound propagation loss was studied using the gathered oceanic data. Propagation loss models were developed in two distinct environmental conditions: 1) a shallow coastal inlet 80 m deep and 2) a deep bay up to 200 m deep during summer and winter, both in the presence and absence of strong surface stratification. A range- and depth-dependent sound speed profile map was created to estimate propagation loss inside the area covered by the glider. This led to the testing and improvement of advanced sound propagation models compared to the ISO standard 17208 formulations. The findings demonstrate that the gliders can characterize and measure ship-based URN and locate the direction of the source relative to the glider, thereby improving the understanding of the spatial and temporal variability of ocean sound sources. The study supports the use of AUGs in marine acoustic monitoring, which has implications for environmental policies and the development of quieter vessels.

description: The promising potential of silver phosphate (Ag3PO4) nanoparticles is shown in improving the properties of polylactic acid (PLA) by preparing PLA/Ag3PO4, PLA/ZnO and PLA/Ag3PO4/ZnO nanocomposites. The dispersion quality of nanoparticles was significantly improved once the nano-hybrids were used. It was found that Ag3PO4 acts as efficient nucleating agents in the solution-induced crystallization. Generally, ZnO was not as efficient as Ag3PO4 in improving the PLA crystallinity. Hydrolytic degradation experiments revealed that Ag3PO4 could notably retard the degradation process while it was accelerated in the presence of ZnO. Therefore, Ag3PO4 and ZnO would be desirable for long- and short-life biological applications, respectively.

description: The United Nations' Convention on Biological Diversity raised expectations of high benefits in genetic resource trade with megadiverse countries. As a reaction the Andean Community (CAN) passed strict community access legislation. Against this background the main objective of this paper is to investigate whether public eco-regional cartels of megadiverse countries on the genetic resource market can increase the appropriable benefits from biodiversity. We analyse how cartel design affects cartel benefits and discuss the benefit distribution among cartel members. As a case study we examine the CAN community access legislation (Decision 391) in the light of biodiversity collusion. Our main finding is that cartels-contrary to their negative connotation-are potentially able to stimulate genetic resource trade, increase the providers' appropriable benefits from biodiversity, and reduce the costs for customers. This depends largely on the cartel design and the ability to attract bioprospecting agents. A member's benefit share rises in the member's relative biodiversity richness and even more in the quality of the institutional environment. The CAN collusion nullifies its market power by a deterringly overly strict access regulation and a lack of internal cooperation.
From the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations for superfluid fermions to the Gross-Pitaevskii equation for condensed bosons

description: We derive the time-independent Gross-Pitaevskii equation at zero temperature for condensed bosons, which form as bound-fermion pairs when the mutual fermionic attractive interaction is sufficiently strong, from the strong-coupling limit of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations that describe superfluid fermions in the presence of an external potential. Three-body corrections to the Gross-Pitaevskii equation are also obtained by our approach. Our results are relevant to the recent advances with ultracold fermionic atoms in a trap.

description: In the current period, there are a number of structural changes in the Western agribusiness, in all its components, dominated by increased retail sales of food, increasing quantities of food at the expense of traditional industrial supply system effects, storage and transport. Food system evolves subject to factors such as quality of agricultural production, its level of intensity, rural development, environment and food safety issues. The current food system relies on proper functioning, organization and size of family farms. Even though the average size of family farms is increasing, concerns are growing larger on weakening their market power phasing out of non-agricultural components of the agri-food sector.78 Hence, the results tend to self-sufficiency of the family farms and constraints on their ability to achieve large. Even if technological advances allow volume expansion of manufacturing activities that can be performed by a family, the need to preserve family organization prevents structural changes in the system. Growing gap between the size of family farms upstream and downstream trading partners dictate the expanding need for inter-sectoral coordination in the agri-food sector and therefore improves the potential role that can be played by cooperatives. However, coordination in the agri-food sector can be achieved by means of both cooperative and non-cooperation: market contracts, specifications, production management contracts, insurance resource providing contracts, pricing, marketing channels, and agricultural cooperatives. On the other hand, agricultural cooperatives are exposed to more intense competition and capital requirements are increasing. To take full advantage of this power, they need to adopt organizational strategies that allow them to be flexible and respond to members’ needs, while ensuring access to needed capital. These strategies often can lead to the emergence of new patterns of cooperation that look increasingly different from traditional patterns of cooperation and increasingly investors like companies.
