description: Europe committed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 40 % by 2030 from 1990 levels. Food emits about 30% of all GHG, the major toll arising from animal products (half of food GHG). This urges the necessity of public actions to encourage sustainable diets. Food policy is now at the double stake of preserving environment and improving health. To implement a public policy combining environmental and nutritional issues in a socially- conscious framework, a food demand study and the potential substitutions between foods is necessary. This article aims at offering a solid base for such policy decisions. Which are the food groups more suitable for a price change? Where are the more disparities in price responsiveness among income classes? Are own-price effects the only relevant? Do cross-price effects matter? To study food demand, we estimate an EASI demand system. It is based on a pseudo panel of 8112 observations constructed from Kantar panel data (1998-2010). It registers French households purchases for food-at-home. We add the nutritional content and Greenhouse gas emission related to foods through Life Cycle Analysis. For 21 food groups, built according to their environmental and nutritional characteristics, we run expenditure and price elasticities. Based on these results, two taxation scenarios are implemented. For each we increase by 20% the prices of food categories with most adverse effects on (1) environment only (ENV) and (2) both environment and health (ENV-NUT). The ENV scenario induces more reductions in environment impact than the ENV-NUT scenario, in particular for SO2 emissions. A greatest impact is observed for lower-average income households and with a household head less than 30 years old. However, undesirable nutritional effects lead to consider the necessity of a trade-off between environment and nutrition. Our conclusions find that this trade-off is not so costly (-18% in terms of CO2). Moreover, our results give new insights for targeting public policies toward the youngest households which we find more sensitive to prices and which are at the beginning of the consumption life-cycle.

description: We study the nuclear medium effects on the $c\bar{c}$ time evolution and charmonium production, in a relativistic proton-nucleus collision. In particular, we focus on the fragmentation region of the nucleus where the formation length of the charmonium mesons is shorter than the size of the nucleus. Little is known on the nuclear effects in this region. We use a quantum-mechanical model which includes a realistic potential for the $c\bar{c}$ system and an imaginary potential to describe the collisions of the $c\bar{c}$ with the nucleons. The imaginary potential introduces a transition amplitude among the charmonium states and produces an interference pattern on the charmonium survival probability, which is particulartly important for $ψ'$. Our results on the suppression factors are compared with data from the NA50 and E866/NuSea Collaborations. Predictions are given for the suppression of $J/ψ,~ψ',~χ_c$ as a function of the nuclear mass and in the negative $x_F$ region, where data will be available soon.

description: We utilize the symmetric thermal optimal path (TOPS) method to examine the dynamic interaction patterns between the VIX and VIX futures markets. We document that the VIX dominates the VIX futures more in the first few years, especially before the introduction of VIX options. We further observe that the TOPS paths show an alternate lead-lag relationship instead of a dominance between the VIX and VIX futures in most of the time periods. Meanwhile, we find that the VIX futures have been increasingly more important in the price discovery since the launch of several VIX ETPs.

SignificanceSilver Iodide is a common material used for the acceleration of the rare ice nucleation event. Existing studies have probed the effect of diverse factors including structural anomalies during precipitation, charge distribution and surface flexibility. The present study addresses the gap in the understanding of supercooled systems with defects on the surface. We quantify the effect of defects of increasing size in terms of the structural changes which are observed close to the surface in terms of template mismatches. The methodology described herein demonstrates a holistic approach to understanding near-surface structural changes in terms of variations in nucleating ability.

description: The main focus of this study is the coverage of New Straits Times (NST) of the first Palestinian General Elections for two presidential candidates namely, Yasser Arafat and Samiha Khalil. This study aimed to explore if any of Entman’s 1993 framing functions was used in the coverage of this issue and to explore whether the tone of NST coverage was negative, positive, balanced or neutral. To
achieve the aims of this study, qualitative content analysis of elections stories from NST has been adopted. The number of news stories was eight, and the time frame started from 19th January to 13th February 1996, where three of these stories were published on the same day of 22nd January,
two days after holding the elections on 20th January. Defining problems and diagnosing causes were
the most prominent of Entman’s four framing functions presented in all the articles. The moral judgment function was included in four news stories, and suggesting remedies was included in two news stories out of eight. The findings revealed that Yasser Arafat received 50% balanced coverage, followed by 37.5% positive coverage, and only 12.5% negative coverage, while Samiha Khalil
received 67% balanced coverage, compared to 33% positive coverage.

description: Genus Mimicalges Atyeo and Gaud, 1971    Type species
 Proctophyllodes (Alloptes) pteronyssoides Trouessart, 1885
 The only species included in this genus so far, M. pteronyssoides (Trouessart), has been found on Pipra erythrocephala (Linnaeus, 1758) and on Chiroxiphia caudata (Shaw and Nodder, 1793) (Pipridae). The previous record of Mimicalges sp. in Brazil, on the Helmeted Manakin Antilophia galeata (Lichtenstein, 1823) (Pipridae) (Kanegae et al. 2008) is herein identified as M. pteronyssoides.
 Atyeo and Gaud (1971) mentioned for M. pteronyssoides that the femora and genua are fused. However, this is not seen in the new species, which has those segments connected only by a small dorsal portion. Male legs IV are longer and stronger than legs III. The females of this genus, hitherto unknown, are described for the first time. Although Atyeo and Gaud (1971) had mentioned that a few proctophyllodine females of unknown affinities were found in the same study skin as males of M. pteronyssoides, they were sceptical that those females might belong to the same species as the aforementioned males, since the length of the primary duct of the spermatheca was considerably shorter than the length of male aedeagus. Atyeo and Gaud (1971) also mentioned that they found M. pteronyssoides and Diproctophyllodes dielytra (Trouessart) in the same study skin – Pipra aureola (Linnaeus, 1758); in the present study, D. dielytra was also found co-inhabiting the same host – Neopelma pallescens – as the new species of Mimicalges herein described.

The influence of culture on Educational Leadership in Zambia: a case study of the Phiri School
Creators: name: Mthulisi Matshakaile
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2019
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This study explores the influence of culture on educational leadership (EL) as perceived by teachers and school leaders at a Zambian school. Culture is increasingly recognised as a significant influence on EL; consequently, studies have been conducted in this area, primarily in East and South East Asia. The African context lags in this regard, resulting in assumptions that African EL is predisposed towards western cultural and leadership practices. This study begins to correct these assumptions and proposes an alternative view. It was guided by three research questions; 1) what cultural values, beliefs and practices influence EL in the school, 2) how these values influence the enactment of EL and 3) how far the concept of Ubuntu influences EL. The study is based on the interpretive paradigm, combining in-depth interviews with focus group discussions to gather rich, descriptive, contextualised narratives and accounts of leadership. Inductive analysis develops a formulation of theory rounded in the perspectives and practices of educational leaders in the Zambian context. The findings reveal the far-reaching importance of the African cultural and societal concept of Ubuntu, which is based on communalism and recognition of humanness in others. Ubuntu influences EL through values like care, support, peaceful coexistence, reverence for age, respect for authority, collectivism and harmony. African traditional practices of patriarchal leadership and paternalism are evident in hierarchical structures and the preponderance of male educational leaders and the resultant gender disparity among Zambian educators. The colonial legacy along with socialist influences have influenced EL through an enduring adherence to bureaucratic leadership structures and authoritarianism. Ethnocentrism and an over-reliance on aid are historical influences which also affect the enactment of EL in Zambia. In summary, there are some uniquely African cultural values, beliefs and practices influencing EL, whilst others have been identified in other cultures like Chinese society.

A sample selection model is employed to account for unobservable variables possibly being correlated with the decision to use split-sex and/or phase feeding and input cost performance. Results demonstrate that operations using phase or combination of phase and split sex feeding are most cost effective and productive than hog operations using conventional feeding.

description: We revisit and clarify the gauge dependence of gravitational waves generated at second order from scalar perturbations. In a universe dominated by a perfect fluid with a constant equation-of-state parameter $w$, we compute the energy density of such induced gravitational waves in the Newtonian, comoving, and uniform curvature gauges. Huge differences are found between the Newtonian and comoving gauge results for any $w \,(\ge 0)$. This is always caused by the perturbation of the shift vector. Interestingly, the Newtonian and uniform curvature gauge calculations give the same energy density for $w>0$. In the case of $w=0$, the uniform curvature gauge result differs only by a factor from that of the comoving gauge, but deviates significantly from that of the Newtonian gauge. Our calculation is done analytically for $w=0$ and $w=1/3$, and our result is consistent with the previous numerical one.

Thermodynamic evolution of cosmological baryonic gas: I. Influence of non-equipartition processes
Creators: name: Courty, S.
name: Alimi, J. -M.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Using N-body/hydrodynamic simulations, the influence of non-equipartition processes on the thermal and dynamical properties of cosmological baryonic gas is investigated. We focus on a possible departure from equilibrium between electrons, ions and neutral atoms in low temperature (10^4-10^6 K) and weakly ionized regions of the intergalactic medium. The simulations compute the energy exchanges between ions, neutrals and electrons, without assuming thermal equilibrium. They include gravitation, shock heating and cooling processes, and follow self-consistently the chemical evolution of a primordial composition hydrogen-helium plasma without assuming collisional ionization equilibrium. At high redshift, a significant fraction of the intergalactic medium is found to be warmer and weakly ionized in simulations with non-equipartition processes than in simulations in which the cosmological plasma is considered to be in thermodynamic equilibrium. With a semi-analytical study of the out of equilibrium regions we show that, during the formation of cosmic structures, departure from equilibrium in accreted plasma results from the competition between the atomic cooling processes and the elastic processes between heavy particles and electrons. Our numerical results are in agreement with this semi-analytical model. Therefore, since baryonic matter with temperatures around 10^4 K is a reservoir for galaxy formation, non-equipartition processes are expected to modify the properties of the objects formed.

1/Nc corrections to the SU(4)_c symmetry for L=1 baryons: The Three Towers

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: In the large Nc limit, the mass spectrum of the L=1 orbitally excited baryons N* has a very simple structure, with states degenerate in pairs of spins J=(1/2,3/2), (3/2,5/2), corresponding to irreducible representations (towers) of the contracted SU(4)_c symmetry group. The mixing angles are completely determined in this limit. Using a mass operator approach, we study 1/Nc corrections to this picture, pointing out a four-fold ambiguity in the correspondence of the observed baryons with the large Nc states. For each of the four possible assignments, we fit the coefficients of the quark operators contributing to the mass spectrum to O(Nc^{-1}). We comment on the implications of our results for the constituent quark model description of these states.

description: The transduction process that occurs in the inner ear of the auditory system is a complex mechanism which requires a non-linear dynamical description. In addition to this, the stochastic phenomena that naturally arise in the inner ear during the transduction of an external sound into an electro-chemical signal must also be taken into account. The presence of noise is usually undesirable, but in non-linear systems a moderate amount of noise can improve the system's performance and increase the signal-to-noise ratio. The phenomenon of stochastic resonance combines randomness with non-linearity and is a natural candidate to explain at least part of the hearing process which is observed in the inner ear. In this work, we present a toy model of the auditory system which shows how stochastic resonance can be instrumental to sound perception, and suggests an explanation of the frequency dependence of the hearing threshold.

description: This paper investigates the role of spatial scale in residential location choice. While the current residential sorting literature has largely focused on a single spatial unit, we expect that homeowners face different tradeoffs across the spatial spectrum, and that these tradeoffs interact across space in different ways to shape observed outcomes. To investigate these phenomena, we implement a nested logit discrete choice model of residential household sorting. With this model, we examine residential location choice at the school attendance boundary and residential neighborhood levels, and we find that the influence of environmental amenities on the location choice of households is complex, often having different implications depending on spatial scale.

description: We examine the energy distribution in a three-dimensional model granular system contained in an open cylinder under the influence of gravity. Energy is supplied to the system by a vibrating base. We introduce spatially resolved, partial particle-particle ``dissipations'' for directions parallel and perpendicular to the energy input, respectively. Energy balances show that the total (integrated) ``dissipation'' is less than zero in the parallel direction while greater than zero in the perpendicular directions. The energy supplied to the perpendicular directions is dissipated by particle-wall collisions. We further define a fractional energy transfer, which in the steady state represents the fraction of the power supplied by the vibrating base that is dissipated at the wall. We examine the dependence of the fractional energy transfer on the number of particles, the velocity of the vibrating base, the particle-particle restitution coefficient, and the particle-wall restitution coefficient. We also explore the influence of the system parameters on the spatially dependent partial dissipations.

description: The band inversion in topological phase matters bring exotic physical properties such as the emergence of a topologically protected surface states. They strongly influence the surface electronic structures of the investigated materials and could serve as a good platform to gain insight into the catalytic mechanism of surface reactions. Here we synthesized high-quality bulk single crystals of the topological semimetal Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$. We found that at room temperature, Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$ naturally hosts the band structure of a topological semimetal. This guarantees the existence of robust surface states from the Co atoms. Bulk single crystal of Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$ exposes their Kagome lattice that constructed by Co atoms and have high electrical conductivity. They serves as catalytic centers for oxygen evolution process (OER), making bonding and electron transfer more efficient due to the partially filled $e_g$ orbital. The bulk single crystal exhibits outstanding OER catalytic performance, although the surface area is much smaller than that of Co-based nanostructured catalysts. Our findings emphasize the importance of tailoring topological non-trivial surface states for the rational design of high-activity electrocatalysts.

description: Wolbachia are bacterial symbionts of many insects, acting as reproductive parasites or sometime establishing mutualistic relationships with their hosts. They are able to increase their prevalence within host populations by improving the reproductive fitness of infected females. Their ability to interfere with host reproduction and to be pervasive within insect populations (e.g. by inducing cytoplasmic incompatibility) make Wolbachia a promising tool for the biological control of pests and for reducing the spreading of vector-borne pathogens. Philaenus spumarius harbors Wolbachia but the type of symbiotic relationship is unknown. Further, data on the infection prevalence within host populations are limited, particularly for Italy.
 We sampled P. spumarius populations throughout Italy and correlated the Wolbachia infection rate with host genetic diversity and geographic distribution. The haplotype network developed on the COI gene sequences showed the occurrence of the three mitochondrial lineages of P. spumarius, namely the eastern-Mediterranean, the western-Mediterranean and the eastern lineage. Each lineage showed a specific geographic distribution. The eastern-Mediterranean haplotypes were prevalent in southern-central Italy, except for Sicily. The western-Mediterranean haplotypes were prevalent in northern Italy. The eastern haplotypes were the less represented and recorded exclusively in the northernmost part of Italy. Admixtures of different lineages were found throughout Italy. PCR with Wolbachia specific primers showed that all populations sampled in southern-central Italy were uninfected. Conversely, half of the populations from northern Italy were infected. The infection rate ranged between 9-80% and all three lineages harbored Wolbachia, identified within the host reproductive tissues. Analysis of molecular diversity and neutrality test statistics suggested no evidence of Wolbachia-induced selective sweep of uninfected haplotypes. Wolbachia strains were characterized using the MLST approach and new sequence types were identified within the supergroup B. Our results pave the way for future researches aimed to evaluating the role of Wolbachia in P. spumarius and its possible exploitation for pest management.

description: The study has examined the similarities and differences in the coverage of two Palestinian news agencies Ma’an and Palestinian Information Center (PIC) on the reactions of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’s regarding relocating the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
The study has also aimed to explore the use of four function of framing by Entman 1993 in the news stories of both agencies. Qualitative content analysis has been adopted to achieve the aim of this study. The total sampling number was 9 news stories; 3 stories have been retrieved from
Ma’an, and the other 6 have been retrieved from PIC. The time frame has started from December 5, 2017 which marked the day of informing Abbas by Trump’s decision to move the Embassy until December 22 2017 which was a day after gaining a sweeping victory in UN by President Abbas through a resolution that rejected the decision. Both of the news agencies were supportive to President Abbas in their coverage and none of them has any negative coverage
about him. From the sampling number it can be seen that PIC has paid more attention for the coverage of this issue than Ma’an. However, PIC has ignored the success of President Abbas for achieving UN resolution against Trump’s decision. Morover, all the news stories has
included “define the problem” while excluded “diagnose causes” functions. However both “make moral judgment” and “suggest remedies” have been included in all news stories of Ma’an, and only half of news stories of PIC.

description: We present an analysis of voids in the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS). This analysis includes identification of void regions and measurement of void statistics. The 2dFGRS is the largest completed redshift survey to date, including a total of 245,591 galaxies covering 1500 deg$^2$ to a median depth of z~0.11. We use the voidfinder algorithm to identify a total of 289 voids in the 2dFGRS with radius larger than 10h^{-1}Mpc. These voids have an average effective radius of 14.89+- 2.65 h^{-1}Mpc in the North Galactic Pole region (NGP) and 15.61+- 2.84h^{-1}Mpc in the South Galactic Pole region (SGP). These voids are extremely underdense, with average density contrast of delta rho/rho= -0.94+-0.02. The centers of voids are even emptier, because the few galaxies within the voids typically lie close to the edges. The total volume of the universe filled by these void regions is approximately 40%. We measure the Void Probability Function (VPF) of the 2dFGRS for volume-limited samples with limiting absolute magnitudes from -16 to -21 in b_J. We measure the Underdensity Probability Function for samples with limiting absolute magnitudes from -18 to -21. We find that the SGP is more underdense than the NGP for all but the brightest sample under consideration. There is good agreement between the VPF's of the Center for Astrophysics Survey and the 2dFGRS. Comparison of VPF's measured for the 2dFGRS with the distribution of simulated dark-matter halos of similar number density indicates that voids in the matter distribution in LCDM simulations are not empty enough. However, semi-analytic models of galaxy formation that include feedback effects yield VPF's that show excellent agreement with the data.

description: Based on the numeric solution of a system of coupled channels for vector mesons ($S$- and $D$-waves mixing) and for tensor mesons ($P$- and $F$-waves mixing) mass spectrum and wave functions of a family of vector mesons $q\bar{q}$ in triplet states are obtained. The calculations are performed using a well known Cornell potential with a mixed Lorentz-structure of the confinement term. The spin-dependent part of the potential is taken from the Breit-Fermi approach. The effect of singular terms of potential is considered in the framework of the perturbation theory and by a configuration interaction approach (CIA), modified for a system of coupled equations. It is shown that even a small contribution of the $D$-wave to be very important at the calculation of certain characteristics of the meson states.

description: Phytochemical investigation of the leaves of Armeniaca sibirica (L.) Lam. led to the isolation of two new phenolic acids (1–2), together with eight known compounds (3–10) from the ethanol extracts of this plant. Structures of these compounds were elucidated through detailed spectroscopic analyses, using 1D-NMR and 2D-NMR in combination with HR-EI-MS techniques. All the compounds were evaluated for their antioxidant capabilities in vitro using 2, 2′-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS), 1, 1′-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging assays, and ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) methods.

description: Weyl semimetals with time reversal symmetry breaking are expected to show various fascinating physical behaviors, such as intrinsic giant anomalous Hall effect, chiral anomaly effect in the bulks, and Fermi arcs on the surfaces. Here we report a scanning tunneling microscopy study on the magnetic Weyl semimetal candidate Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$. According to the morphology and local density of states of the surface, we provide assignments to different surface terminations. The measured local density of states reveals a semimetal gap of ~300 mV, which is further verified as the gap in spin-minority bands using spin-resolved tunneling spectra. Additionally, signature for the nontrivial surface states around 50 mV is proposed. This is further confirmed by the observations of standing waves around a step-edge of the sample. Our observations and their comparison with band structure calculations provide direct yet timely evidence for the bulk and surface band structures of the magnetic Weyl semimetal Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$.

description: This study explores the influence of education, length of service, professionalism, and ethics on the professional values of public relations practitioners in Malaysia. A total of 427 questionnaires were distributed to public relations practitioners in Malaysia, and 322 questionnaires were
returned. The study included 61% female respondents, and 39% male respondents. The study analyzed and identified the influence of professionalism and ethics on professional values of public relations practitioners. Additionally, the study examined whether education and experience influence professional values through professionalism, and code of ethics. Six hypotheses were tested to answer the research
questions. The results from this study fully supported the hypotheses indicating that professionalism and ethics had an influence on professional values of public relations practitioners. The results also showed that education influenced both professionalism and ethics, and length of
service influenced both professionalism and ethical practice.
