description: n Experiment 1, olfactory bulbectomized and control rats were trained using operant conditioning to determine the taste threshold of aqueous amyl acetate. Concentrations below gustatory threshold were used in Experiments 2–5 to compare the effectiveness of odors with various concentrations of saccharin as cues for illness. The results showed the following: (1) The effectiveness of odor and taste was directly related to concentration; (2) the strength of an aversion to a concentration of taste could be matched by an appropriate concentration of an odor; (3) odor was as effective as taste with CS-US delays of 4 h; and (4) an effective odor potentiated an aversion to an otherwise ineffective taste. The results challenge the privileged role accorded tastes in food aversion learning and the manner in which tastes are held to interact with odors according to the sensory-and-gate channeling analysis of potentiation (Rusiniak, Hankins, Garcia, & Brett, 1979).

description: Gauge independent form factors ρ^(e; e) and \hatκ^(e; e)(q^2) for Moller scattering at s << m_W^2 are derived. It is pointed out that \hatκ^(e; e) is very different from its counterparts in other processes. The relation between the effective parameter \hatκ^(e; e)(q^2,μ) \sin^2 \hatθ_W(μ) and \sin^2 θ_eff is derived in a scale-independent manner. A gauge and process-independent running parameter \sin^2 \hatθ_W (q^2), based on the pinch-technique self-energy a_{γZ} (q^2), is discussed for all q^2 values. At q^2=0 it absorbs very accurately the Czarnecki-Marciano calculation of the Moller scattering asymmetry at low s values, and at q^2 = m^2_Z it is rather close to \sin^2 θ_eff. The q^2 dependence of \sin^2 \hatθ_W (q^2) is displayed in the space and time-like domains.

Saving, spending, and self-control : cognition versus consumer culture

Subjects: classificationCode: 38
subject: Economics

description: Recent economic literature puts forth “behavioral” perspectives on self-control as a means of under- standing oddities of consumer behavior: spending too much, saving too little, borrowing too much on costly credit cards. This article argues that the behavioral emphasis on cognition overlooks the extent to which issues of self-control are framed, elaborated, and sustained as problematics of contemporary con- sumer culture. As such, they are rooted as much in the social, cultural, and economic dynamics of cap- italism as they are in the human mind.

description: In sub-Saharan Africa, young women ages 15e24 have more than twice the risk of acquiring HIV as their male counterparts. A growing body of epidemiological evidence suggests that the practice of “trans- actional sex” may contribute to this disparity. Over the last 15 years, the social sciences have contributed significantly to understanding the meaning of and motivations for this practice. The findings from these studies are rich, but varied, rendering lessons difficult to navigate for intervention and further research. We therefore contribute a historically-grounded, comprehensive literature review on the nature and motivations for women's participation in transactional sex in sub-Saharan Africa. Drawing from over 300 studies (through 2014), we distill three prominent paradigms observed in the literature that we review toward presenting a unified conceptualization of the practice. “Sex for basic needs,” the first paradigm, positions women as victims in transactional sexual relationships, with implications for interventions that protect girls from exploitation. In contrast, the “sex for improved social status” paradigm positions women as sexual agents who engage in transactional sex toward attaining a middle-class status and lifestyle. Finally, a third paradigm, “sex and material expressions of love,” draws attention to the con- nections between love and money, and the central role of men as providers in relationships. We find important commonalities in the structural factors that shape the three paradigms of transactional sex including gender inequality and processes of economic change. We suggest that there are three continua stretching across these paradigms: deprivation, agency, and instrumentality. This review proposes a definition of transactional sex and discusses implications for research and interventions aiming to reduce young women's risk of HIV through such relationships. We consider the consequences of drawing from too narrow an understanding of the practice, and highlight the benefits of a broader conceptualization.

description: We search for regular tachyon kinks in an extended model, which includes the tachyon action recently proposed to describe the tachyon field. The extended model that we propose adds a new contribution to the tachyon action, and seems to enrich the present scenario for the tachyon field. We have found stable tachyon kinks of regular profile, which may appropriately lead to the singular kink found by Sen sometime ago. Also, under specific conditions we may find periodic array of kink-antikink configurations.

description: Waste accounting is a formal and structured process used to quantify the amount and type of wastes generated by a facility. In order to meet the waste reduction target and further the AMS Lighter Footprint Strategy, a waste accounting method is needed to measure the amount of solid waste generated in the New Student Union Building (SUB) on a weekly basis. By investigating the methodologies used by large institutions, a hybrid solution is then recommended. This report will discuss the three major sources that are used as the foundation for the solution proposed. The recommended waste accounting method suggests formation of a waste sorting team to perform waste classification and also an implementation of covered automated weighing containers to measure the weight of sorted wastes and send the collected data to the Alma Mater Society (AMS) through a wireless network. Furthermore, the report will focus in the triple bottom line assessment for the proposed solution to evaluate the feasibility of applying this waste accounting method in the New SUB. By analyzing its economical, environmental, and social factors, the method recommended is suitable for the New SUB as it has low maintenance cost, low ecological footprint, and minimal sociological impact on a long term basis.

description: The dynamics of human affect in day-to-day life are an intrinsic part of human behaviour. Yet, it is difficult to observe and objectively measure how affect evolves over time with sufficient resolution. Here, we suggest an approach that combines free association networks with affect mapping, to gain insight into basic patterns of affect dynamics. This approach exploits the established connection in the literature between association networks and behaviour. Using extant rich data, we find consistent patterns of the dynamics of the valence and arousal dimensions of affect. First, we find that the individuals represented by the data tend to feel a constant pull towards an affect-neutral global equilibrium point in the valence–arousal space. The farther the affect is from that point, the stronger the pull. We find that the drift of affect exhibits high inertia, i.e. is slow-changing, but with occasional discontinuous jumps of valence. We further find that, under certain conditions, another metastable equilibrium point emerges on the network, but one which represents a much more negative and agitated state of affect. Finally, we demonstrate how the affect-coded association network can be used to identify useful or harmful trajectories of associative thoughts that otherwise are hard to extract.

description: Knowledge of the tail shape of claim distributions provides important actuarial information. This paper discusses how two techniques commonly used in assessing the most appropriate underlying distribution can be usefully combined. The maximum likelihood approach is theoretically appealing since it is preferable to many other estimators in the sense of best asymptotic normality. Likelihood based tests are, however, not always capable of discriminating among non-nested classes of distributions. Extremal value theory offers an attractive tool to overcome this problem. A much larger set of distribution classes is nested by their tail parameter. This paper shows that both estimation strategies can be usefully combined when the data generating process is characterized by strong clustering in time and size. We find that the extreme value theory is a useful starting point in detecting the appropriate distribution class. Once that has been achieved, the likelihood-based EM-algorithm is proposed to capture the clustering phenomena. Clustering is particularly pervasive in actuarial data. An empirical application to a four-year data set of Dutch automobile collision claims is therefore used to illustrate the approach.

description: Autophagy, which is one of the self-degradation systems, promotes intracellular zinc (Zn) recycling under Zn deficiency (−Zn) in plants. Therefore, autophagy defective plants show severe chlorosis under −Zn. Root is the plant organ which directly exposed to Zn deficient environment, however, in our recent study, −Zn symptom was prominently observed in leaves as chlorosis. Here, we conducted micrografting to determine which organ’s autophagic activities are important to suppress the −Zn induced chlorosis. Grafted plants that have autophagic activities only in roots or leaves were grown under −Zn and then compared chlorotic phenotypes among them. As a result, regardless of the autophagic activities in rootstocks, −Zn induced-chlorosis in leaves was occurred only when autophagy in scion was defective. This data indicates that Zn resupplied by autophagic degradation in root cells could not contribute to suppress the chlorosis in leaves. Thus, autophagy in the aerial part is critical for controlling −Zn induced-chlorosis in leaves. Taken together, along with our recently reported data, we conclude that the mechanism of Zn resupply by autophagic degradation is not systemic throughout the plant but rather a local system.

description: In a new era of “open governance”, in which societal and corporate change is taking place, 15 predominantly European countries, including Spain, enacted board gender quotas to increase the share of women on boards. In this paper, we explore the effectiveness of the European Union’s first “soft” quota – the 2007 Spanish Gender Equality Act recommending all large public and private Spanish firms to appoint a target of 40 percent of each gender to serve as board directors by 2015. The Act provides an incentive in that quota compliant firms may receive a preference for the tendering of public contracts. We draw on institutional and resource dependency theories to motivate the first empirical test of a “soft” quota which is distinct from Norway’s “hard law” board gender quota, and more similar to the proposed EU-wide quota. Using a large novel panel of 767 Spanish firms and 2786 firm-year observations from 2005 to 2014, we exploit the Spanish Act as a natural experiment and employ a difference-in-differences model. We find that less than nine percent of targeted firms fully comply with the quota. Firms that depend on public contracts are significantly more likely to increase female representation, although quota compliant firms do not actually benefit from the Act’s potential incentive. The results highlight the Spanish government’s lack of commitment to the quota, and that the quota’s normative obligations did not trigger the adoption of gender-balanced boards.

description: The mass spectra of singly charmed and bottom baryons, $Λ_{c/b}(1/2^\pm,3/2^-)$ and $Ξ_{c/b}(1/2^\pm,3/2^-)$, are investigated using a nonrelativistic potential model with a heavy quark and a light diquark. The masses of the scalar and pseudoscalar diquarks are taken from a chiral effective theory. The effect of $U_A(1)$ anomaly induces an inverse hierarchy between the masses of strange and non-strange pseudoscalar diquarks, which leads to a similar inverse mass ordering in $ρ$-mode excitations of singly heavy baryons.

description: Norway was the first of ten countries to legislate gender quotas for boards of publicly traded firms. There is considerable debate and mixed evidence concerning the implications of female board representation. In this paper, we explain the main sources of biases in the existing literature on the effects of women directors on firm performance and review methods to account for these biases. We address the endogeneity problem by using a difference-in-differences approach to study the effects of women directors on firm performance with specific consideration of the common trend assumption, and we explicitly distinguish between accounting-based (i.e., operating income divided by assets, return on assets) and market-based (i.e., market-to-book ratio and Tobin's Q) performance measures in the Norwegian setting. The control group are firms from Finland, Sweden, and Denmark. We further extend the analysis of causal effects of women directors to firm risk. Our results imply a negative effect of mandated female representation on firm performance and on firm risk.

description: Multi-parameter Bayesian inferences based on Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) samples have been widely used to estimate red noise in solar period-periodic signals. To MCMC, proper priors and sufficient iterations are prerequisites ensuring the accuracy of red noise estimation. We used MCMC-based Bayesian inferences to estimate 100 groups of red noise synthesized randomly for evaluating its accuracy. At the same time, the Brooks-Gelman algorithm was employed to precisely diagnose the convergence of the Markov chains generated by MCMC. The root-mean-square error of parameter inferences to the synthetic data is only 1.14. Furthermore, we applied the algorithm to analyze the oscillation modes in a sunspot and a flare. A 70 s period is detected in the sunspot umbra in addition to 3- and 5-minute periods, and a 40 s period is detected in the flare. The results prove that estimating red noise with MCMC-based Bayesian has more high accuracy in the case of proper priors and convergence. We also find that the number of iterations increases dramatically to achieve convergence as the number of parameters grows. Therefore, we strongly recommend that when estimating red noise with MCMC-based Bayesian, different initial values must be selected to ensure that the entire posterior distribution is covered.

description: We model the Internet as a network of interconnected Autonomous Systems which self-organize under an absolute lack of centralized control. Our aim is to capture how the Internet evolves by reproducing the assembly that has led to its actual structure and, to this end, we propose a growing weighted network model driven by competition for resources and adaptation to maintain functionality in a demand and supply ``equilibrium''. On the demand side, we consider the environment, a pool of users which need to transfer information and ask for service. On the supply side, ASs compete to gain users, but to be able to provide service efficiently, they must adapt their bandwidth as a function of their size. Hence, the Internet is not modeled as an isolated system but the environment, in the form of a pool of users, is also a fundamental part which must be taken into account. ASs compete for users and big and small come up, so that not all ASs are identical. New connections between ASs are made or old ones are reinforced according to the adaptation needs. Thus, the evolution of the Internet can not be fully understood if just described as a technological isolated system. A socio-economic perspective must also be considered.

description: We present three-dimensional (3-D) magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) simulations of radiatively inefficient accretion flow around black holes. General relativistic effects are simulated by using the pseudo-Newtonian potential. We start calculations with a rotating torus threaded by localized poloidal magnetic fields with plasma beta, a ratio of the gas pressure to the magnetic pressure, $β=10$ and 100. When the bulk of torus material reaches the innermost region close to a central black hole, a magnetically driven jet emerges. This magnetic jet is derived by vertically inflating toroidal fields (`magnetic tower') and has a two-component structure: low-$β$ ($\lsim 1$) plasmas threaded with poloidal (vertical) fields are surrounded by that with toroidal fields. The collimation width of the jet depends on external pressure, pressure of ambient medium; the weaker the external pressure is, the wider and the longer-lasting becomes the jet. Unless the external pressure is negligible, the bipolar jet phase ceases after several dynamical timescales at the original torus position and a subsequent quasi-steady state starts. The black hole is surrounded by quasi-spherical zone with highly inhomogeneous structure in which toroidal fields are dominant except near the rotation axis. Mass accretion takes place mainly along the equatorial plane. Comparisons with other MHD simulation results and observational implications are discussed.

In this work, we confine a mixture of the hyperfine ground states of Rb-87 in a double-well potential. The potential is produced by dressing the atoms with multiple radiofrequencies. The amplitude and phase of each frequency component of the dressing field are individually controlled to independently manipulate each species. Furthermore, we verify that our mixture of hyperfine states is collisionally stable, with no observable inelastic loss.

description: The Jeans gravitational instability in nonextensive statistical mechanics is studied and a general form of the generalized Jeans criterion is obtained that is related to the q-function . In this approach, the nonextensive model of classical ideal gas is applied to the Jeans problem instead of the ordinary one in extensive statistical mechanics and the generalized critical wavelength to describe the gravitational instability is deduced. This nonextensive modification of the Jeans criterion leads to a new critical length that depends not only on the nonextensive parameter q but also on the dimension D and the total particle numbers N of the system. When, the Jeans length is perfectly recovered. We also give the nonextensive parameter q a physical interpretation that represents an isothermal process of the gas, corresponding to the state of complete mixing, but 0< q <1 is nonisothermal, corresponding to the state of incomplete mixing, it measures the degree of mixing.

Specifically we calculate quantum deviations from the classical decay after the break time for both broken and preserved time-reversal symmetry. The source of these corrections is identified in interfering pairs of correlated classical trajectories. In our approach the quantized chaotic system is modelled by a quatum graph.

Prosociality in business : A human empowerment framework
Creators: name: Brieger, Steven A.

Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study introduces a human empowerment framework to better understand why some businesses are more socially oriented than others in their policies and activities. Building on Welzel’s theory of emancipation, we argue that human empowerment—comprised of four components: action resources, emancipative values, social movement activity, and civic entitlements—enables, motivates, and entitles individuals to pursue social goals for their businesses. Using a sample of over 15,000 entrepreneurs from 43 countries, we report strong empirical evidence for two ecological effects of the framework components on prosociality. We find that human empowerment (1) lifts entrepreneurs’ willingness to choose a social orientation for their business, and (2) reinforces the gender effect on prosociality in business activity. We discuss the human empowerment framework’s added value in understanding how modernization processes fully leverage the potential of social business activities for societies.

description: We present observations of the A7IV-V star Alderamin ($α$ Cep, HR 8162, HD 203280) from the Georgia State University CHARA Array. These infrared interferometric angular size measurements indicate a non-circular projected disk brightness distribution for this known rapid rotator. The interferometric observations are modeled as arising from an elongated rigid atmosphere, with apparent polar and equatorial radii of $r_p=0.6753^{+0.0119}_{-0.0135}$ milliarcseconds (mas) and $r_e=0.8767^{+0.0293}_{-0.0183}$ mas, respectively, for a difference of $201\pm 32$ microarcseconds ($μ$as), and with an axial ratio of $r_e/r_p =1.298\pm 0.051$. Using the Hipparcos distance of $14.96\pm 0.11$ pc, these angular measures translate to $2.18\pm0.05$ and $2.82\pm0.10$ $R_\odot$. The inclination of Alderamin to the line of sight indicated by this modeling is effectively edge-on ($i=88.2^{+1.8}_{-13.3}$). The star has a true rotational velocity of $283\pm 10$ km/s ($\sim83$% of breakup velocity), and a polar temperature of roughly 8400 K. Significantly, a necessary aspect of this modeling is a determination of the gravity darkening coefficient, which at a value of $β=0.084^{+0.026}_{-0.049}$ is consistent with a convective photosphere, as expected for an A7IV-V star. Our detailed characterization of this object allows us to investigate various scenarios for the angular momentum history of Alderamin and the appropriateness of certain stellar evolution models.

description: This report assesses three case studies about various sustainability housing options in university settings based on a triple bottom line assessment that considers social, economic, and environmental factors. The Bastyr University Student Village is located in Kenmore, Washington, Nottingham University of the United Kingdom is home to the Creative Energy Homes, and Hamilton Hall at Harvard University is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts of the USA. The report discusses the sustainable options employed by the three case studies, and how they are relevant or irrelevant to the planned UBC Farm Sustainability College. The report begins by speaking to the immense importance of sustainability in today's society and continues with a triple bottom line assessment of the three case studies. These case studies make recommendations for the UBC Farm Sustainability College, and this report evaluates the benefits of them. The report concludes with an overview of the short and long term effects of the recommendations made throughout this report.

description: Finlets are a series of small non-retractable fins common to scombrid fishes (mackerels, bonitos and tunas) which are known for their high swimming speed. It is hypothesized these small fins could potentially affect propulsive performance. Here, we combine experimental and computational approaches to investigate the hydrodynamics of finlets in yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) during steady swimming. High-speed videos were obtained to provide kinematic data on the in vivo motion of finlets. High-fidelity simulations were then carried out to examine the hydrodynamic performance and vortex dynamics of a biologically realistic multiple-finlet model with reconstructed kinematics. It was found that finlets undergo both heaving and pitching motion and are delayed in phase from anterior to posterior along the body. Simulation results show that finlets were drag producing and did not produce thrust. The interactions among finlets helped reduce total finlet drag by 21.5%. Pitching motions of finlets helped reduce the power consumed by finlets during swimming by 20.8% compared with non-pitching finlets. Moreover, the pitching finlets created constructive forces to facilitate posterior body flapping. Wake dynamics analysis revealed a unique vortex tube matrix structure and cross-flow streams redirected by the pitching finlets, which supports their hydrodynamic function in scombrid fishes. Limitations on modelling and the generality of results are also discussed.
