description: Ce papier a pour objectif la vérification de l’impact des institutions sur la performance économique à travers, d’une part, un survol sur les différentes contributions théoriques depuis les approches de l’institutionnalisme originaire traditionnel jusqu’aux travaux précurseurs des économistes de la nouvelle économie institutionnelle. D’autre part, à partir d’une vérification économétrique sur des données de panel qui consiste à  expliquer le taux de croissance annuel du PIB par habitant, en terme de monnaies locales pour les 20 pays de la région MENA, par la moyenne des six variables qui reflètent, d’après Kaufmann et Kraay, la qualité des institutions politiques, par la moyenne des scores qui mesurent la qualité des institutions économiques (indice global de la liberté économique) calculée par fondation Héritage, et par la formation brute du capital fixe. Notre travail de recherche confirme théoriquement et empiriquement la place importante de la qualité des institutions dans l’explication de la performance économique.

description: Εισαγωγή: Καθώς ο παγκόσμιος πληθυσμός γηράσκει, το πρόβλημα της μοναξιάς και της κοινωνικής απομόνωσης φαίνεται να διευρύνεται με σοβαρές συνέπειες τόσο στη σωματική όσο και στην ψυχική υγεία των ατόμων μεγαλύτερης ηλικίας. Οι παρεμβάσεις που βασίζονται στη θεραπεία μέσω τέχνης φαίνεται να έχουν θετικά αποτελέσματα σε διάφορους τομείς της υγείας των ηλικιωμένων, και παράλληλα, φαίνεται να μειώνουν το αίσθημα της μοναξιάς και να ενισχύουν τη κοινωνική σύνδεση. Σκοπός: Σκοπός της παρούσας μελέτης ήταν η διερεύνηση των παρεμβάσεων θεραπείας βασισμένης στην τέχνη για την αντιμετώπιση της μοναξιάς και της κοινωνικής απομόνωσης των ατόμων μεγαλύτερης ηλικίας. Μέθοδος: Στην παρούσα συστηματική ανασκόπηση αξιολογήθηκαν συνολικά 10 μελέτες που εφάρμοσαν παρεμβάσεις θεραπείας μέσω τέχνης σε πληθυσμούς άνω των 65 ετών. Η αναζήτηση πραγματοποιήθηκε κατά τη διάρκεια Δεκεμβρίου 2023 - Ιανουαρίου 2024 στις ηλεκτρονικές επιστημονικές βάσεις δεδομένων PubMed/Medline, Cochrane, PsycINFO-ProQuest Research Library, Scopus και Google Scholar. Αποτελέσματα: Η πλειονότητα των παρεμβάσεων περιλάμβαναν δραστηριότητες που βασίζονταν σε μία μοναδική μορφή τέχνης, ήταν περιορισμένες χρονικά καθώς είχαν διάρκεια λίγων εβδομάδων ή λίγων μηνών και είχαν πραγματοποιηθεί είτε στην κοινότητα είτε σε μονάδες μακροχρόνιας φροντίδας ηλικιωμένων. Η συντριπτική πλειοψηφία των μελετών ανέδειξε σημαντικά οφέλη στη μείωση των επιπέδων μοναξιάς και στην αύξηση της κοινωνικής σύνδεσης για τους ηλικιωμένους συμμετέχοντες. Συμπέρασμα: Υπογραμμίζεται ο σημαντικός ρόλος των παρεμβάσεων θεραπείας με βάση τις τέχνες στη βελτίωση της κοινωνικής ευημερίας των ηλικιωμένων, μέσω της αντιμετώπισης των ευρέως διαδεδομένων προβλημάτων της μοναξιάς και της κοινωνικής απομόνωσης.
Highly directional photon superbunching from a 'few atom' chain of emitters

description: We examine angular distribution of the probability of correlated fluorescence photon emission from a linear chain of identical equidistant two-level atoms. We selectively excite one of the atoms by a resonant laser field. The atoms are coupled to each other via the dipole-dipole interaction and collective spontaneous emission. Our attention is focused on the simultaneous observation of correlated pairs of photons. It is found that the interference between the emitting atoms can result in a highly directional emission of photon pairs. These pairs of photons posses strong correlations and their emission is highly concentrated into specific detection directions. We demonstrate the crucial role of the selective coherent excitation in such a geometrical configuration. Shifting the driving field from an atom located at one end of the chain to the other causes the radiation pattern to flip to the opposite half of the detection plane. Furthermore, we find that atomic systems in which only an atom situated at a particular position within the linear chain is driven by a laser field can radiate correlated twin photons in directions along which the radiation of single photons is significantly reduced. Alternatively, superbunching in the emitted photon statistics preferentially occurs in directions of negligible or vanishing single photon emission. The effect of superbunching strengthens as more emitters are added to the chain. Depending on the number of atoms and the position of the driven atom within the chain, the strongly correlated pairs of photons can be emitted into well-defined single, two or four directions.

description: We study dynamics of triple junction of (p,q) strings in Type IIB string theory. We probe tension and mass density of (p,q) strings by studying harmonic fluctuations of the triple junction. We show that they agree perfectly with BPS formula provided suitable geometric interpretation of the junction is given. We provide a precise statement of BPS limit and force-balance property. At weak coupling and sufficiently dense limit, we argue that (p,q)-string embedded in string network is a `wiggly string', whose low-energy dynamics can be described via renormalization group evolved, smooth effective non-relativistic string. We also suggest the possibility that, upon Type IIB strings are promoted to M-theory membrane, there can exist `evanescent' bound-states at triple junction in the continuum.

description: Aim: To identify the level of non-pharmacological care received by middle-aged adults with current asthma in Australia and to identify its association with clinical measures. Methods: The Tasmanian Longitudinal Health Study (TAHS) is a population-based cohort first studied in 1968 (n = 8583). In 2010, when participants were aged 49 years, a stratified sample enriched for asthma and bronchitis underwent clinical assessments including respiratory questionnaires and lung function testing (n = 836). Current asthma was defined as self-reported asthma symptoms and/or healthcare utilization in the last 12 months. Multivariable linear regression and log-binomial models were used to assess the relevant associations. Results: Of the entire TAHS cohort, 15.6% (95% CI 13.4–18.2%) had current asthma. Of these, 37.9% (95% CI 30.5–45.9%) had seen a general practitioner for their asthma and 16.5% (95% CI 11.5–23.1%) had discussed their asthma with a pharmacist in the last 12 months. Written asthma action plans (AAPs) were reported by 17.9% (95% CI 12.9–23.2%), verbal AAPs by 53.8% (95% CI 45.9–61.6%) and doctor-assessments of inhaler technique by 42.7% (95% CI 35.2–50.5%). Adults with asthma of greater severity were more likely to have received verbal AAPs (p-trend =0.02). In contrast, adults with lower spirometry were more likely to have received verbal AAPs (p = 0.04), written AAPs (p = 0.001) and education on inhaler technique (p = 0.04). Conclusion: Despite an established evidence base and recommendations in local and international guidelines, non-pharmacological asthma management remains sub-optimal in the middle-aged adult asthma population.

description: The interaction of intense laser beams with plasmas created on solid targets involves a rich non-linear physics. Because such dense plasmas are reflective for laser light, the coupling with the incident beam occurs within a thin layer at the interface between plasma and vacuum. One of the main paradigms used to understand this coupling, known as Brunel mechanism, is expected to be valid only for very steep plasma surfaces. Despite innumerable studies, its validity range remains uncertain, and the physics involved for smoother plasma-vacuum interfaces is unclear, especially for ultrahigh laser intensities. We report the first comprehensive experimental and numerical study of the laser-plasma coupling mechanisms as a function of the plasma interface steepness, in the relativistic interaction regime. Our results reveal a clear transition from the temporally-periodic Brunel mechanism to a chaotic dynamic associated to stochastic heating. By revealing the key signatures of these two distinct regimes on experimental observables, we provide an important landmark for the interpretation of future experiments.

description: Advances in satellite remote sensing and the wealth of earth observation (EO) data now available have improved efforts toward determining and quantifying historical land use and land cover (LULC) change. Satellite imagery can overcome the absence of accurate records of historical land use; however, the variability observed in the case study regions demonstrates a number of current challenges. Differences in spatial coverage, resolution and land cover classification can lead to challenges in analyzing historical data sets to estimate LULC change and associated GHG emissions. This paper demonstrates the calculation of LULC change from three existing, open-source data sets to show how this can lead to significant variation in estimates of GHG emissions related to differences in land classification methodologies, EO input data and period of investigation. This article focuses on selected regions of Indonesia, where quantifying land use change is important for GHG assessments of agricultural commodities and for evidencing progress against corporate and government deforestation commitments. Given the significance of GHG emissions arising from LULC change and the increasing need for emissions monitoring, this research highlights a need for consensus building to develop consistency in historical and future LULC change estimates. This paper concludes with a set of recommendations for improvements to ensure consistent LULC mapping.

description: This study combines a one-dimensional (1D) model with micro-CT imaging and hemodynamic data to quantify uncertainty of flow and pressure predictions in the pulmonary arteries in a control and hypoxia induced hypertensive mouse. We use local and global sensitivity and correlation analysis to determine parameters that can be inferred from the model and available data. Least squares optimization is used to estimate mouse specific parameters, and Bayesian as well as asymptotic uncertainty quantification techniques are employed to determine confidence, credible, and prediction intervals for the model parameters and response. These techniques are used to examine the effects of network size and to understand how parameters change with disease (hypertension). Results showed that the peripheral vascular resistance is the most sensitive, and as the network size increases the parameter behavior changes. Correlation analysis revealed that in hypertension large vessel stiffness is correlated with proximal resistance in the boundary. We were able to estimate identifiable parameters using both deterministic and Bayesian techniques (the maxima of the parameter distributions determined using Bayesian analysis aligned with local optima). From these estimates we determined confidence and prediction intervals, which all were within physiological expectation. Analysis of estimated parameter values for the representative mice studied here showed that the hypertensive mouse has stiffer (but larger) vessels and that compliance is decreased both in the proximal and peripheral vasculature.

Elampus gayi, 1, 52, 32, 1 (box 50). Remarks. French labelled the specimen as paralectotype, but the designation was not published. The species was described based on at least two males (sexo dudoso) collected at Santa Rosa and Ligua. The second syntype is housed in MNHN ( du Buysson 1898: 519). Du Buysson completed the description of this species, even though the specimen was missing the head and part of metasoma. Later, du Buysson (1899: 160) removed this specimen from the catalogue of the types housed in the MNHN. Since the syntype in MNHN is badly damaged and it was not considered as a type by du Buysson (1899), we here designate the syntype of Elampus gayi as lectotype in the Spinola collection, according to the Recommendation 74D of the Code. The specimen is in good condition, even though it is missing the last three flagellomeres of the left antenna and five of the right antenna. Current status. Elampus gayi Spinola, 1851.

description: We discuss a model for the space-time evolution of ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions which employs relativistic hydrodynamics within one region of the forward light-cone, and microscopic transport theory (i.e. UrQMD) in the complement. Our initial condition consists of a quark-gluon plasma which expands hydrodynamically and hadronizes. After hadronization the solution eventually changes from expansion in local equilibrium to free streaming, as determined selfconsistently by the interaction rates between the hadrons and the local expansion rate. We show that in such a scenario the inverse slopes of the $m_T$-spectra of multiple strange baryons ($Ξ$, $Ω$) are practically unaffected by the purely hadronic stage of the reaction, while the flow of $p$'s and $Λ$'s increases. Moreover, we find that the rather ``soft'' transverse expansion at RHIC energies (due to a first-order phase transition) is not washed out by strong rescattering in the hadronic stage. The earlier kinetic freeze-out as compared to SPS-energies results in similar inverse slopes (of the $m_T$-spectra of the hadrons in the final state) at RHIC and SPS energies.

description: We study regression discontinuity designs when covariates are included in the estimation. We examine local polynomial estimators that include discrete or continuous covariates in an additive separable way, but without imposing any parametric restrictions on the underlying population regression functions. We recommend a covariate-adjustment approach that retains consistency under intuitive conditions, and characterize the potential for estimation and inference improvements. We also present new covariate-adjusted mean squared error expansions and robust bias-corrected inference procedures, with heteroskedasticity-consistent and cluster-robust standard errors. An empirical illustration and an extensive simulation study is presented. All methods are implemented in \texttt{R} and \texttt{Stata} software packages.

description: Observations by the MACHO collaboration suggest that a significant proportion of the galactic halo dark matter is in the form of compact objects with typical masses $M\sim 0.5M_{\odot}$. One of the current mysteries is the nature and origin of these objects. We suggest that these objects are stars composed of mirror matter. This interpretation provides a plausible explanation for the inferred masses and abundance of the MACHO events. We also comment on the possibility of inferring the existence of mirror supernova's by detecting the neutrino burst in existing underground detectors such as SuperKamiokande.

Publisher: name: trends in Agriculture Science

description: The various appellations for this infectious tumor include sticker sarcoma, transmissible venereal granuloma, infectious granuloma, canine condyloma, and infectious lymphosarcoma. Transmissible Venereal Tumor (TVT) is most commonly observed in sexually active canines. This neoplasm usually spreads during sex and affects the external genitalia first, sometimes the internal genitalia as well. Young animals that are sexually active have a higher incidence of it. TVT is a benign reticuloendothelial tumor; however, it distinguishes itself due to its infrequent metastasis, especially in animals with weakened immune systems. It is noteworthy that TVT cells exhibit an aberrant chromosome count of 57–64, with an average of 59 chromosomes, which differs from the normal canine breed average of 78 chromosomes. The only known instance of a naturally occurring tumor that can be transferred as a xenograft through cell transplantation and grow independent of its original host is a transmissible venereal tumor.

description: We study the localization properties in the transition from a two-dimensional electron gas at zero magnetic field into an integer quantum Hall (QH) liquid. By carrying out a direct calculation of the localization length for a finite size sample using a transfer matrix technique, we systematically investigate the field and disorder dependences of the metal-insulator transition in the weak field QH regime. We obtain a different phase diagram from the one conjectured in previous theoretical studies. In particular, we find that: (1) the extended state energy $E_{c}$ for each Landau level (LL) is {\it always} linear in magnetic field; (2) for a given Landau level and disorder configuration there exists a critical magnetic field $B_{c}$ below which the extended state disappears; (3) the lower LLs are more robust to the metal-insulator transition with smaller $B_{c}$. We attribute the above results to strong LL coupling effect. Experimental implications of our work are discussed.

description: A study of Z boson pair production in e+e- annihilation at center-of-mass energies near 183 GeV and 189 GeV is reported. Final states containing only leptons, (l+l-l+l- and l+l-nu nubar), quark and lepton pairs, (q qbar l+l-, q qbar nu nubar) and the all-hadronic final state (q qbar q qbar) are considered. In all states with at least one Z boson decaying hadronically, q qbar and b bbar final states are considered separately using lifetime and event-shape tags, thereby improving the cross-section measurement. At sqrt(s) = 189 GeV the Z-pair cross section was measured to be 0.80 (+0.14-0.13, stat.) (+0.06-0.05, syst.) pb, consistent with the Standard Model prediction. At sqrt(s) = 183 GeV the 95% C.L. upper limit is 0.55 pb. Limits on anomalous ZZgamma and ZZZ couplings are derived.

description: We examine general properties of superembeddings, i.e., embeddings of supermanifolds into supermanifolds. The connection between an embedding procedure and the method of non-linearly realised supersymmetry is clarified, and we demonstrate how the latter arises as a special case of the former. As an illustration, the super-5-brane in 7 dimensions, containing a self-dual 3-form world-volume field strength, is formulated in both languages, and provides an example of a model where the embedding condition does not suffice to put the theory on-shell.

description: This article investigation was done on removal of lead from aqueous solution onto Tamarind fruit shell powder (Tamarinus Indica. L), a biosorbent of a low cost, easily available, agricultural waste using biosorption. The optimum operating parameters like agitation time, biosorbent dose, initial lead concentration, and pH have been studied with batch process and validated by Response Surface Methodology. The maximum percentage removal of lead is 83.5 at optimum conditions of agitation time is 33.11 min, biosorbent dosage is 0.99 g, initial ion concentration is 26.44 mg/l and pH is 6.98 using RSM. The experimental data were evaluated using adsorption isotherms. The given data are best suited to Freundlich model. Kinetic and thermodynamic data were tested with pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models and well correlated to pseudo-second order equation. The results revealed that Tamarindus Indica. L was a favorable biosorbent to remove lead and zinc.

 Aniba canelilla (Kunth) Mez (Lauraceae) [Syn. A. Elliptica A.C. SM., Cryptocarya canelilla Kunth], also known as ‘‘casca-preciosa’‘, is a plant belonging to Lauraceae family, growing in the Amazon region. In folk medicine, the bark is used to prepare decoctions that are believed to exert antispasmodic, digestive stimulating, and carminative properties. Chemical composition of A. canelilla wood and bark oil includes benzenoids and terpenoids, 1-nitro-2-phenylethane and methyleugenol being the two major components (Fig. 8) (Giongo et al., 2017; Lahlou et al., 2005).
 The essential oil causes a concentration-dependent reduction of potassium-induced contraction of rat aorta with endothelium and it counters CaCl 2 -induced contractions, but not those induced by caffeine suggesting an inhibition of calcium inward current (Lahlou et al., 2005). In conscious rats pretreated with L-NAME, the hypotensive effect of the essential oil was partly, but significantly reduced supporting the essential oil ability to affect the endothelial L-arginine/nitric oxide pathway (Lahlou et al., 2005). These effects are mainly due to 1-nitro-2- phenylethane (Fig. 8), that was shown to induce vasorelaxant and hypotensive effects in vit ro and in vivo through a myogenic endothelium-independent mechanism (de Siqueira et al., 2010; Interaminense Lde et al., 2011; Interaminense Lde et al., 2013). The other main constituent, methyleugenol (Fig. 8), was also studied for its cardiovascular effects. In particular, it was found to elicit hypotension in either anaesthetized or conscious rats through an active vascular relaxation, significantly reduced by pretreatment with L- NAME or mechanical endothelium removal (Lahlou et al., 2004; Magalhaes et al., 2008).
 Ethanol extract of A. canelilla is also endowed of antioxidant properties (Martins et al., 2016).

description: In this talk \footnote{Presented at ICHEP'98, Vancouver, CA, July 1998}, we present a recently suggested way on how to analytically incorporate massive threshold effects into observables calculated in massless QCD. No matching is required since the renormalization scale is in this approach connected to the physical momentum transfer between static quarks in a color singlet state. We discuss massive fermionic corrections to the heavy quark potential through two loops. The calculation uses a mixed approach of analytical, computer-algebraic and numerical tools including Monte Carlo integration of finite terms. Strong consistency checks are performed by ensuring the proper cancellation of all non-local divergences by the appropriate counterterms and by comparing with the massless limit. The size of the effect for the (gauge invariant) fermionic part of $α_V ({\bf q^2},m^2) $ relative to the massless case at the charm and bottom flavor thresholds is found to be of order 33%.

description: We report on broadband observations of CTA 102 ($z=1.037$) during the active states in 2016-2017. In the $γ$-ray band, Fermi LAT observed several prominent flares which followed a harder-when-brighter behavior: the hardest photon index $Γ=1.61\pm 0.10$ being unusual for FSRQs. The peak $γ$-ray flux above 100 MeV $(3.55\pm0.55)\times10^{-5}\:{\rm photon\:cm^{-2}\:s^{-1}}$ observed on MJD 57738.47 within 4.31 minutes, corresponds to an isotropic $γ$-ray luminosity of $L_γ=3.25\times10^{50}\:{\rm erg\:s^{-1}}$, comparable with the highest values observed from blazars so far. The analyses of the Swift UVOT/XRT data show an increase in the UV/optical and X-ray bands which is contemporaneous with the bright $γ$-ray periods. The X-ray spectrum observed by Swift XRT and NuSTAR during the $γ$-ray flaring period is characterized by a hard photon index of $\sim1.30$. The shortest e-folding time was $4.08\pm1.44$ hours, suggesting a very compact emission region $R\leqδ\times2.16\times10^{14}$ cm. We modeled the spectral energy distribution of CTA 102 in several periods (having different properties in UV/optical, X-ray and $γ$-ray bands) assuming a compact blob inside and outside the BLR. We found that the high-energy data are better described when the infrared thermal radiation of the dusty torus is considered. In the flaring periods when the correlation between the $γ$-ray and UV/optical/X-ray bands is lacking, the $γ$-ray emission can be produced from the interaction of fresh electrons in a different blob, which does not make a dominant contribution at lower energies.

description: We discuss the properties of interacting electrons on a finite chain with open boundary conditions. We extend the Haldane Luttinger liquid description to these systems and study how the presence of the boundaries modifies various correlation functions. In view of possible experimental applications to quantum wires, we analyse how tunneling measurements can reveal the underlying Luttinger liquid properties. The two terminal conductance is calculated. We also point out possible applications to quasi one dimensional materials and study the effects of magnetic impurities.

description: Intensive conventional horticulture with high input management has a strong environmental impact, with negative effect on soil, air and water pollution, decreased biodiversity or greenhouse gas emissions. Horticulture is a high demand system of water and nutrients, with high inputs of pesticides to sustain high productions. In this context, cropping systems with organic and biodynamic management are considered as a sustainable alternative to reduce the negative impact of the excessive use of mineral fertilizers and pesticides, with introduction of longer rotations and multiple cropping that can increase soil quality and biodiversity (Fliebach et al., 2007). Organic systems are related to higher carbon supply to soil, increasing soil structure, fertility and soil biodiversity, with decreased incidence of soil-borne diseases (Gattinger et al., 2013). These facts can contribute to climate change mitigation by soil carbon sequestration, reduced overall greenhouse gas emissions and promote soil diversity which is linked to solubilization of nutrients and plant resistant to diseases. Biodynamic agriculture is a system of organic agriculture based on a strong reduction of external inputs, use of compost and compost applications and other treatments based on plant extracts (Lotter, 2003). Hence, the aim of this study was to assess the influence of organic and biodynamic diversified cropping systems (long rotations and multiple cropping) compared to short rotations under conventional farming on soil physicochemical properties and microbial biomass and diversity in cropping systems that have transformed into organic or biodynamic for nine years.

Bell Non-Locality in Macroscopic Systems

description: The categorization of quantum states for composite systems as either separable or entangled, or alternatively as Bell local or Bell non-local states based on local hidden variable theory is reviewed in Sections 1 and 2, focusing on simple bipartite systems. The significance of states demonstrating Bell non-locality for settling the long standing controversy between the Copenhagen interpretation of the quantum measurement process involving the collapse of the wave-function and the alternative interpretation based on pre-existing hidden variables is emphasized. Although experiments demonstrating violations of Bell locality in microscopic systems have now been carried out (see Section 3), there is current interest in finding Bell non-locality in quantum systems on a macroscopic scale, since this is a regime where a classical hidden variable theory might still apply. Progress towards finding macroscopic quantum states that violate Bell inequalities is reviewed in Section 4. A new test for Bell non-locality that applies when the sub-system measured quantities are spin components with large outcomes is described, and applied to four mode systems of identical massive bosons in Bose-Einstein condensates.

description: Aim: To identify the level of non-pharmacological care received by middle-aged adults with current asthma in Australia and to identify its association with clinical measures. Methods: The Tasmanian Longitudinal Health Study (TAHS) is a population-based cohort first studied in 1968 (n = 8583). In 2010, when participants were aged 49 years, a stratified sample enriched for asthma and bronchitis underwent clinical assessments including respiratory questionnaires and lung function testing (n = 836). Current asthma was defined as self-reported asthma symptoms and/or healthcare utilization in the last 12 months. Multivariable linear regression and log-binomial models were used to assess the relevant associations. Results: Of the entire TAHS cohort, 15.6% (95% CI 13.4–18.2%) had current asthma. Of these, 37.9% (95% CI 30.5–45.9%) had seen a general practitioner for their asthma and 16.5% (95% CI 11.5–23.1%) had discussed their asthma with a pharmacist in the last 12 months. Written asthma action plans (AAPs) were reported by 17.9% (95% CI 12.9–23.2%), verbal AAPs by 53.8% (95% CI 45.9–61.6%) and doctor-assessments of inhaler technique by 42.7% (95% CI 35.2–50.5%). Adults with asthma of greater severity were more likely to have received verbal AAPs (p-trend =0.02). In contrast, adults with lower spirometry were more likely to have received verbal AAPs (p = 0.04), written AAPs (p = 0.001) and education on inhaler technique (p = 0.04). Conclusion: Despite an established evidence base and recommendations in local and international guidelines, non-pharmacological asthma management remains sub-optimal in the middle-aged adult asthma population.
