The influence of pre-conceptual and perceptual understandings of HIV/AIDS : a case study of selected Ugandan biology classrooms
Creators: name: Mutonyi, Harriet
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Curbing the spread of HIV/AIDS in Uganda has largely depended on public and private media messages about the disease. In addition, the introduction of the topic of HIV/AIDS in the Senior Three (Grade 11) biology curriculum has added credence to the campaign. Media campaigns, especially those in local dialects, based on Uganda's cultural norms of communication are metaphorical, analogical and simile-like. To what extent do the students' pre-conceptions of the disease, based on media messages influence their development of conceptual understanding of the disease, its transmission and prevention? Of significant importance is the impact of the students' conceptions developed from the indirect media messages on classroom instructions on HIV/AIDS. This study describes Ugandan Senior Three students' pre-conceptual knowledge of HIV/AIDS and how these impact classroom instruction on HIV/AIDS. The study was conducted in four different Ugandan high schools: girls' boarding, boys' boarding, mixed boarding and mixed day. Using questionnaires, focus group discussions, recorded biology lessons and informal interviews, students' pre-conceptions of HIV/AIDS and how these impact instructions on HIV/AIDS were explicated. Interpretive data analysis suggests that students have internalized various messages and developed central beliefs on HIV/AIDS. Students use these central beliefs to understand and interpret HIV/AIDS messages. Some of these central beliefs are inconsistent with scientifically proven information on HIV/AIDS. Some of the beliefs are persistent even after classroom instruction on HIV/AIDS. This has implications on how the teaching of HIV/AIDS is planned arid implemented.

description: The Mesohellenic Basin (MHB) seismic interpretation study, conducted as part of the Horizon 2020-funded PilotSTRATEGY project, aims to enhance the assessment of the CO₂ storage resource in the area. This work aimed to advance these resources toward contingent status based on available legacy seismic data. Situated in Western Macedonia, onshore Northern Greece, the MHB represents a prominent sedimentary basin within the Tethyan orogenic belt, which is characterised by complex tectonic evolution and sedimentary processes.

The report provides an overview of the basin's geological framework, outlining its geodynamic evolution and stratigraphy. The MHB developed as a piggy-back basin, with stratigraphic formations that include potential reservoir units including the Eptachorion and Pentalophos formations. These units are characterised by turbiditic deposits and significant lithological variations due to tectonic and sedimentary dynamics.

description: It is well known that the squeezing spectrum of the field exiting a nonlinear cavity can be directly obtained from the fluctuation spectrum of normally ordered products of creation and annihilation operators of the cavity mode. In this article we show that the output field squeezing spectrum can be derived also by combining the fluctuation spectra of any pair of s-ordered products of creation and annihilation operators. The interesting result is that the spectrum obtained in this way from the linearized Langevin equations is exact, and this occurs in spite of the fact that no s-ordered quasiprobability distribution verifies a true Fokker-Planck equation, i.e., the Langevin equations used for deriving the squeezing spectrum are not exact. The (linearized) intracavity squeezing obtained from any s-ordered distribution is also exact. These results are exemplified in the problem of dispersive optical bistability.

description: One of the outstanding problems of current observational cosmology is to understand the nature of sources that produced the bulk of the ionizing radiation after the Cosmic Dark Age. Direct detection of these reionization sources is practically infeasible at high redshift due to the steep decline of intergalactic medium transmission. However, a number of low-redshift analogs emitting Lyman continuum at~900 Angstrom ~restframe are now detected at $z< 0.4$ and there are detections in the range $ 2.5< z< 3.5$ also. Here, we report the detection of Lyman continuum emission with a high escape fraction (>20%) from a low-mass clumpy galaxy at z=1.42, in the middle of the redshift range where no detection has been made before and near the peak of the Cosmic Star-formation history. The observation was made in the Hubble Extreme Deep field by the wide-field Ultra-Violet-Imaging Telescope onboard AstroSat. This is the first detection of Extreme Ultraviolet radiation from a distant galaxy at a rest-frame wavelength of 600 Angstrom, and it opens up a new window to constrain the shape of the ionization spectrum. Further observations with AstroSat should significantly increase the sample of Lyman continuum leaking galaxies at Cosmic Noon.

description: A Szent István Egyetem Gépészmérnöki Karán végzett összehasonlításból megállapítható, hogy a lazításos alapművelést alkalmazva a középmély lazító sokkal környezet- és talajkímélőbb munkát végez, mint az ugyanilyen munkaszélességű eke. Mindezek mellett a lazításos alapművelés energia- és költségtakarékosabb is, mint a szántás. A számításokból, amelyeknek alapját az FVM szakemberei által 2005-ben elvégzett felmérések jelentik, egyértelműen azt derítettük ki, hogy a lazításos alapművelést alkalmazva hektáronként körülbelül 1970 forintot, vagyis 100 ha nagyságú területnél közel 200 000 forintot lehet megtakarítani, amit tetemes költségnek ítélünk meg a talajművelésben. Ha kétfajta műveleti költségszámítási eljárást alkalmaznak, az eredmény hasonló. Az elvégzett költségelemzés is indokolja a lazításos alapművelés nagyobb arányú elterjesztését szolgáló műszaki felvilágosító munka fokozását. ------------------------------------- This comparison was carried out at the Szent István University. The goal of production is to reach an optimal level, by the use of field crops with mineral fertilisation. Depth and methods of soil tillage are not standardised and periodically utilise deep ripping. For the sake of productivity cost reduction, technical development is continuous. The subsoil chisel is the basic mechanism of modern, intensive land use. We discovered from the calculations made in 2005 by FVM experts that primary tillage with a subsoil chisel produces 1,970 HUF of savings per ha. The cost analysis also justifies increased work on technical information that may serve to more widely disseminate primary tillage using a subsoil chisel.
Proton Decay and the Planck Scale

description: Even without grand unification, proton decay can be a powerful probe of physics at the highest energy scales. Supersymmetric theories with conserved R-parity contain Planck-suppressed dimension 5 operators that give important contributions to nucleon decay. These operators are likely controlled by flavor physics, which means current and near future proton decay experiments might yield clues about the fermion mass spectrum. I present a thorough analysis of nucleon partial lifetimes in supersymmetric one-flavon Froggatt-Nielsen models with a single U(1)_X family symmetry which is responsible for the fermionic mass spectrum as well as forbidding R-parity violating interactions. Many of the models naturally lead to nucleon decay near present limits without any reference to grand unification.

Louis Mayeur : his life and works for saxophone based on opera themes
Creators: name: Greenwood, Nancy Lynne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The thesis for the Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Orchestral Instruments consists of an in-depth analytical or historical study culminating in a lecture-recital with an accompanying document (enclosed). The lecture-recital took place on April 6, 2003. The subject of the lecture was: "Contemporaries of Adolphe Sax and their Influence on Early Saxophone Literature". This document singles out one particular performer, Louis Mayeur, and his compositions for saxophone which were based on popular opera themes. Louis Adolphe Mayeur, a student of Adolphe Sax, was an early virtuoso of the saxophone. Through his training at the Paris Conservatory and his French military band experience he became very well known in Paris as a soloist. He was a member of the Orchestre de l'Opéra and he demonstrated the saxophone on tours and recitals arranged by Adolphe Sax. In these respects he was important to the promotion of the fledgling saxophone. Mayeur was also an outstanding clarinetist, having earned a first prize in clarinet at the Conservatory, and he was highly regarded as a bass clarinetist. His conducting career involved military bands as well as civil musical ensembles. He was a prolific composer whose works totaled approximately 371 pieces for many different genres from solo compositions to works for military band and orchestra. Unfortunately, this man who was so much a part of the Paris musical scene in his day has been somewhat overlooked by musicologists. His music has been preserved carefully in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, but with very few exceptions, his works are out of print and not easily accessible. A list of Mayeur's works for saxophone is included in this thesis. Special attention has been drawn to those solos based on opera themes. The intent of this document is to bring his music to public attention and to revive the memory of a man who is significant to the study of saxophone history.

description: The recent popularity of machine learning calls for a deeper understanding of AI security. Amongst the numerous AI threats published so far, poisoning attacks currently attract considerable attention. In a poisoning attack the opponent partially tampers the dataset used for learning to mislead the classifier during the testing phase. This paper proposes a new protection strategy against poisoning attacks. The technique relies on a new primitive called keyed non-parametric hypothesis tests allowing to evaluate under adversarial conditions the training input's conformance with a previously learned distribution $\mathfrak{D}$. To do so we use a secret key $κ$ unknown to the opponent. Keyed non-parametric hypothesis tests differs from classical tests in that the secrecy of $κ$ prevents the opponent from misleading the keyed test into concluding that a (significantly) tampered dataset belongs to $\mathfrak{D}$.

description: A mezőgazdasági termelésben felhasznált kemikáliák csökkentése, és ezáltal a környezetterhelés mérséklése napjaink feladata. A termelőnek fontos, hogy gazdálkodási döntéseinek kialakításakor rendelkezésére álljanak azon információk, amelyek megmutatják a kemikáliák csökkentésének következményeit. A kutatásban – modellszámítások segítségével – vizsgáltuk, hogy hogyan változhat egy üzem jövedelemtermelő képessége, ha csökkenti a növénytermelésben alkalmazott kemikáliák felhasználását. Megállapítottuk, hogy a csökkentett növényvédő szerfelhasználás, vagy a teljes vegyszer tiltás csökkenti a jövedelem előállítás lehetőségét, leszűkül a jövedelmet adó mérettartomány, valamint csökken az elérhető jövedelem tömege is. Ugyanakkor minden olyan esetben, amikor az értékesítésben érvényesíteni lehet valamilyen felárat, akkor a konvencionális gazdálkodás eredményeihez hasonló jövedelmet lehet elérni. A vállalkozások akkor tudnak helyes döntéseket hozni, ha rendelkeznek mindazokkal az ismeretekkel, amelyek egy változtatás hatását mutatják meg, ugyanakkor – véleményünk szerint – a csökkentett kemikália használat miatti kieső jövedelem megfelelő támogatási rendszer kialakításával kompenzálható. ----------------------------------------------------- Our present day task is the reduction of chemicals used in agricultural production thereby moderating environmental pollution. The availability of information about the consequences of reduced chemicals usage is paramount to farmers in making their decisions concerning their farming practices. In this study using numerical modelling we investigated how the incomes producing capability of an enterprise may change if the use of chemicals in plant cultivation is reduced. We have found that reduction or secession of the use of plant protecting chemicals reduces the chances of incomes production, narrows the size range that yields income and decreases the amount of potential incomes. At the same time whenever premium can be charged, it can produce incomes not dissimilar to that of conventional farming. Enterprises can make proper decisions if they have the information about the consequences of change, while at the same time, in our opinion, loss of income due to reduction in chemicals usage may be compensated by the development of an appropriate supporting system.

Za vrijeme rata u Bosni i Hercegovini sprovođena su masovna neosnovana lišenja slobode i zadržavanja pojedinaca u mjestima zatočenja kroz duže vremenske periode. Za to vrijeme, pojedinci su pretrpjeli štetu u vidu nanošenja teških tjelesnih ozljeda, pretrpljenog straha kao i duševnih bolova zbog povrede ugleda i časti. Pred nadležnim sudovima doneseno je više pravosnažnih osuđujućih presuda za najteže oblike krivičnih djela i takvi postupci još uvijek traju, međutim ne postoji adekvatan sistem zaštite i pružanja satisfakcije i naknade za pretrpljeno žrtvama, koje i danas, dvadeset godina nakon rata, osjećaju posljedice neosnovanog lišenja slobode u logorima u Bosni i Hercegovini. Osnovanim se postavlja pitanje odgovornosti za štetu koja je nastala, odnosno pitanje ko ima pasivnu legitimaciju u slučaju podnošenja tužbenog zahtjeva za naknadu nematerijalne štete od strane žrtava. Jasno je da u skladu sa općim pravilima obligacionog prava moraju biti ispunjeni opšti uslovi za postojanje odgovornosti za štetu, međutim ono što je sporno u ovakvim predmetima u sudskoj praksi u Bosni i Hercegovini je da li država, odnosno entiteti, mogu, u skladu s pravilima o objektivnoj odgovornosti, biti odgovorni za naknadu štete pojedincima.

The agricultural disposal of dehydrated sludge represents the most favourable approach if costs and returns to the entire society in parts at least are included into the analysis.
Auto and cross correlation of phases of the whole-sky CMB and foreground maps from the 1-year WMAP data

description: The issue of non-Gaussianity is not only related to distinguishing the theories of the origin of primordial fluctuations, but also crucial for the determination of cosmological parameters in the framework of inflation paradigm. We present an advenced method for testing non-Gaussianity on the whole-sky CMB anisotropies. This method is based on the Kuiper's statistic to probe the two-dimensional uniformity on a periodic mapping square associating phases: return mapping of phases of the derived CMB (similar to auto correlation) and cross correlations between phases of the derived CMB and foregrounds. Since phases reflect morphology, detection of cross correlation of phases signifies the contamination of foreground signals in the derived CMB map. The advantage of this method is that one can cross check the auto and cross correlation of phases of the derived CMB and foregrounds, and mark off those multipoles in which the non-Gaussianity results from the foreground contaminations. We apply this statistic on the derived signals from the 1-year WMAP data. The auto-correlations of phases from the ILC map shows the significance above 95% CL against the random phase hypothesis on 17 spherical harmonic multipoles, among which some have pronounced cross correlations with the foreground maps. We conclude that most of the non-Gaussianity found in the derived CMB maps are from foreground contaminations, except, among others, l=6. With this method we are better equipped to approach the issue of non-Gaussianity of primordial origin for the upcoming PLANCK mission.

description: Modellszámításaink alapján megállapítható, hogy a mezőgazdasági üzemek szerkezetváltozása, az üzemszelekció a csatlakozás utáni első évben sem fejeződött be, sőt előrejelzéseink alapján a következő egy-két évben további 3 ezer árutermelő mezőgazdasági vállalkozás lesz kénytelen felhagyni a termeléssel. Az igazi vesztesek továbbra is az abraktakarmány fogyasztó állatokat tartó gazdaságok közül kerülnek ki, várhatóan több mint 400 gazdaság fogja abbahagyni a termelést. Nem túl biztató a kisméretű, tömegtakarmányt fogyasztó állatokat tartó gazdaságok jövőképe sem, de számos közepes és nagyobb méretű gazdaság a túlélők közé tartozik. Arányaiban sokkal kevesebb, de ugyanakkor nagyszámú vegyes típusú gazdálkodó fog csődközeli helyzetbe kerülni, ebben elsősorban az állattartás kedvezőtlen jövedelmezőségi helyzete játszik szerepet. Nemcsak számban, hanem arányaiban is a legkisebb üzemek között van a legtöbb csődbe jutó gazdaság, az üzemkoncentráció valószínűleg tovább folytatódik. Mintegy 14 ezer gazdaság várható jövedelmi helyzete ugyanakkor kedvező. Legfontosabb eredmény, hogy nemcsak a növénytermelők jövedelem-kilátásai jók, hanem számos szarvasmarha- és juhtartó, valamint ültetvényes gazdálkodó jövőképe is biztató. ---------------------------------------------------- It is apparent on the basis of numerical modelling that the restructuring of agricultural plants and plant selection does not end in the first year after joining the EU, but in the following one or two years further 3 thousand commodity producing agricultural enterprises will have to end production according to our forecasts. The real losers will be farms keeping fodder consuming animals; probably more than 400 enterprises will cease operating. The future is not too promising for small farms keeping mass fodder consuming animals, but numerous middle and large concerns are bound to survive. Smaller in proportions but a large number of mixed type farms will find themselves in the neighbourhood of bankruptcy, primarily because of the unfavourable profitability of animal keeping. The largest number of bankruptcies both in proportions and absolute numbers occur among the smaller enterprises, therefore the amalgamation of plants will probably continue. At the same time the expected income of about 14 thousand farms is favourable. A most important outcome is that the incomes of not only plant growers but also numerous cattle and sheep farmers as well as that of plantation farmers are encouraging.

description: In this paper, we propose a generalization of the $\mathrm{AdS_2/CFT_1}$ correspondence constructed by Mezei, Pufu and Wang in \cite{MezeiPufuWang}, which is the duality between 2d Yang-Mills theory with higher derivatives in the $\mathrm{AdS}_2$ background, and 1d topological quantum mechanics of two adjoint and two fundamental $\mathrm{U}(N)$ fields, governing certain protected sector of operators in 3d ABJM theory at the Chern-Simons level $k = 1$. We construct a holographic dual to a flavored generalization of the 1d quantum mechanics considered in \cite{MezeiPufuWang}, which arises as the effective field theory living on the intersection of stacks of $N$ D2-branes and $k$ D6-branes in the $Ω$-background in Type IIA string theory, and describes the dynamics of the protected sector of operators in $\mathcal{N} = 4$ theory with $k$ fundamental hypermultiplets, having a holographic description as M-theory in the $\mathrm{AdS}_4 \times \mathrm{S}^7/\mathbb{Z}_k$ background. We compute the structure constants of the bulk theory gauge group, and construct a map between the observables of the boundary theory and the fields of the bulk theory.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Topological magnetic semimetals, like Co3Sn2S2 and Co2MnGa, are known to display exotic transport properties, such as large intrinsic anomalous (AHE) due to uncompensated Berry curvature. The highly symmetric XPt3 compounds display anti-crossing gapped nodal lines, which are a driving mechanism in the intrinsic Berry curvature Hall effects. Uniquely, these compounds contain two sets of gapped nodal lines that harmoniously dominate the Berry curvature in this complex multiband system. We calculate a maximum AHE of 1965 S/cm in the CrPt3 by a state-of-the-art first principle electronic structure. We have grown high-quality thin films by magnetron sputtering and measured a robust AHE of 1750 S/cm for different sputtering growth conditions. Additionally, the cubic films display a hard magnetic axis along [111] direction. The facile and scalable fabrication of these materials is prime candidates for integration into topological devices.

description: Several studies have shown that nutrition and muscle strength were associated with functional recovery in patients with hip fracture. However, the impact of heart failure on the improvement of activity of daily living (ADL) in patients with hip fracture have not been fully investigated. The purpose was investigating the effect of heart failure on the ADL improvement by rehabilitation in patients with hip fracture. A total of 116 patients with hip fracture discharged from our convalescent rehabilitation ward were studied. Heart failure was assessed based on plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels on admission. ADL was assessed based on rehabilitation effectiveness (REs), which was calculated using the FIM instrument. Clinical, demographic, and nutritional variables were measured. Multiple regression analysis was performed with REs as the dependent variable; variables showing significant correlation with REs in univariate analyses were selected as independent variables. Based on plasma BNP levels, we assigned 39 patients to a Low group: 22 (17−25) median (interquartile) pg/mL, 39 to a Middle group: 52 (42−65) pg/mL, and 38 to a High group: 138 (93−209) pg/mL. REs, handgrip strength, Hb, albumin, and GNRI were higher and age was younger in the Low group than High group (each p < 0.01, respectively). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that age (p < 0.05), sex (p < 0.05), handgrip strength (p < 0.01), FOIS at admission (p < 0.01), rehabilitation time per day (p < 0.01), and BNP (p < 0.05) were significantly associated with REs. The effect of rehabilitation on ADL improvement was significantly blunted in the High group compared to the Low group. In conclusion, these results suggest that heart failure assessed based on plasma BNP levels negatively impacts improvements in ADL achieved through rehabilitation in patients with hip fracture.

description: Aims: Emission line profiles from solar coronal loops exhibit properties that are unexplained by current models. We investigate the non-thermal broadening associated with plasma heating in coronal loops that is induced by magnetic field line braiding. Methods: We describe the coronal loop by a 3D magnetohydrodynamic model of the turbulent decay of an initially-braided magnetic field. From this we synthesize the Fe XII line at 193 Angstroms that forms around 1.5 MK. Results: Key features of current observations of extreme UV lines from the corona are reproduced in the synthesised spectra: (i) Typical non-thermal widths range from 15 to 20 km/s. (ii) The widths are approximately independent of the size of the field of view. (iii) There is a correlation between line intensity and the non-thermal broadening. (iv) Spectra are found to be non-Gaussian, with enhanced power in the wings of order 10-20%. Conclusions: Our model provides an explanation that self-consistently connects the heating process to the observed non-thermal line broadening. The non-Gaussian nature of the spectra is a consequence of the non-Gaussian nature of the underlying velocity fluctuations, interpreted as a signature of intermittency in the turbulence.

description: Generalizing from training data is a key issue in machine learning, especially since in practice the test data is often drawn from a different distribution. Unlike traditional fixed-depth networks such as multilayer perceptrons, recurrent and implicit neural networks are particularly suitable for out-of-distribution generalization because their variable-depth allows them to scale up computation to solve harder problems during test-time. We quantify the generalization ability of these models in the context of solving mazes, where we can easily generate out-of-distribution shifts while retaining a ground-truth solution. We show that a model trained on mazes without loops fails to generalize to mazes with loops; instead, the model emulates the 'dead-end filling' algorithm. Finally, we show that diversifying the training data very slightly by adding some loops to relatively few mazes dramatically increasing overall generalization. This indicates a switch in the underlying algorithm that the model is learning to emulate.

description: This paper presents the first time series clustering benchmark utilizing all time series datasets currently available in the University of California Riverside (UCR) archive -- the state of the art repository of time series data. Specifically, the benchmark examines eight popular clustering methods representing three categories of clustering algorithms (partitional, hierarchical and density-based) and three types of distance measures (Euclidean, dynamic time warping, and shape-based). We lay out six restrictions with special attention to making the benchmark as unbiased as possible. A phased evaluation approach was then designed for summarizing dataset-level assessment metrics and discussing the results. The benchmark study presented can be a useful reference for the research community on its own; and the dataset-level assessment metrics reported may be used for designing evaluation frameworks to answer different research questions.

description: Effective Field Theory (EFT) provides a powerful framework that exploits a separation of scales in physical systems to perform systematically improvable, model-independent calculations. Particularly interesting are few-body systems with short-range interactions and large two-body scattering length. Such systems display remarkable universal features. In systems with more than two particles, a three-body force with limit cycle behavior is required for consistent renormalization already at leading order. We will review this EFT and some of its applications in the physics of cold atoms. Recent extensions of this approach to the four-body system and N-boson droplets in two spatial dimensions will also be discussed.

description: In a previous paper, we described a new method for including detailed information about substructure in semi-analytic models of dark matter halo formation based on merger trees. In this paper, we present the basic predictions of our full model of halo formation. We first describe the overall properties of substructure in galaxy, group or cluster haloes at the present day. We then discuss the evolution of substructure, and the effect of the mass accretion history of an individual halo on the mass function and orbital grouping of its subhalo population. We show, in particular, that the shape of the subhalo mass function is strongly correlated with the formation epoch of the halo. In a third paper in this series we will compare the results of our semi-analytic method with the results of self-consistent numerical simulations of halo formation.

description: Against the rising global concern of how to achieve sustainable output expansion in food, we document the main outcomes of post-Soviet agricultural recovery and restructuring in the Kazakhstan grain region. Together with an expansion of cropland area and increasing capital input, real agricultural value added has almost doubled within the recent decade. Privatisation legislation has allowed private ownership of land. However, access to state land and capital continues to be strongly regulated, and private lenders even turn away from agriculture. There are now three dominant groups of agricultural producers in the region: large agricultural enterprises and smaller individual farms mostly engaged in grain, and tiny household economies focusing on vegetable and live-stock. While agricultural enterprises have been growing more persistently than individual farms in recent years, average land productivity of both farm types is practically identical and wheat yields are even higher in individual farms. Both vertically and horizontally integrated agroholdings have emerged among the agricultural enterprises and have brought outside investment and management to the region. With stable employment in agriculture, nominal consumption spending of rural households has tripled over the last decade and has risen much faster than the costs of living. While North Kazakhstan looks much like a success story, constrained factor markets are likely to dampen further growth. The Kazakh government should improve the legal conditions for a functioning land rental market, avoid driving commercial lenders out of the market, and make sure that future access to qualified labour in agriculture is warranted.

description: The broken mirror symmetry in subwavelength photonic systems has manifested many interesting chiroptical effects such as optical rotation and circular dichroism. When such systems are placed periodically in a lattice form, in addition to intrinsic chirality, extrinsic chirality also takes part, and the overall effect depends not only on the basis and lattice but also the excitation configuration. Here, we study planar chiral nanohole arrays in square lattice that support Bloch-like surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) and clarify how the system geometry and the excitation contribute to circular dichroism. By using temporal coupled mode theory (CMT), the dissymmetry factor and the scattering matrix of the arrays are analytically formulated. Remarkably, we find the dissymmetry factor depends only on the coupling polarization angle and the in-coupling phase difference between the p- and s-polarizations. Besides, the upper limit of the dissymmetry factor at +/-2 can be reached simply by orienting the lattice of the arrays for properly exciting the Bloch-like SPPs and at the same time making the basis mimic two orthogonal and relatively displaced dipoles, demonstrating the interplay between extrinsic and intrinsic chirality. The models have been verified by numerical simulations and experiments, yielding the dissymmetry factors to be 1.82 and 1.55, respectively, from the proposed dual slot system.

description: Indexfonds sind aufgrund ihrer Terminmarktgeschäfte mit Agrarrohstoffen ins Zentrum öffentlicher Aufmerksamkeit und Kritik geraten. Hierzu kursieren in den Medien zahlreiche Falschinformationen, deren Korrektur sich durch klar identifizierbare Forschungslücken der empirischen Literatur verzögert hat. Gleichwohl können folgende Erkenntnisse helfen, die Debatte zu versachlichen: Indexfonds folgen einer passiven Handelsstrategie. Sie zeichnen einen Markttrend nach. Hiervon geht eine preisstabilisierende Wirkung aus. Deshalb ist zu befürchten, dass regulatorische Einschränkungen der Geschäftsaktivität von Indexfonds in Form von strengen Positionslimits oder Preislimits der Funktionsweise von Terminmärkten nicht zuträglich, sondern abträglich sind.
