description: To predict and assess the production conditions of sugarcane in Guangxi in 2016, by using methods of field survey and data collection, the seedling situation, breed structure, planting area, planting period, plant diseases and insect pests of sugarcane in six major sugarcane producing cities of Guangxi were surveyed. The results show that the overall situation of sugarcane seedlings in Guangxi in 2016 became slightly worse than that in 2015, but there were enough good sugarcane seedlings in 2016. The dead heart rate of sugarcane decreased in most sugarcane regions from 2015 to 2016, that is, the comprehensive control of borers gave initial results; the smut infection rate of sugarcane rose from 2015 to 2016 and tended to increase. The situation of decrease in the planting area of sugarcane in three consecutive years was controlled, and the planting area of sugarcane increased slightly from 2015 to 2016. Due to the construction of “double high” bases, the breed variety of sugarcane in Guangxi was improved further in 2016. It is necessary to strengthen field management and conduct chemical weeding, prevention and control of borers and aphids in the later period in time.
Copyright, Technology, and Education for the 21st Century: Colombia's Experience with the United States Free Trade Agreement's Copyright Provisions Pertaining to Internet Service Providers and Technological Protection Measures

description: Technology has become essential for education. Many countries around the world have started to incorporate technology in the educational environment, thereby changing the educational process in order to give 21st-century learners the new abilities they need. Moreover, for developing countries, the use of technology in education represents an opportunity to solve salient problems of their educational systems. Nonetheless, countries have left aside the fact that copyright law governs how that technology can be effectively used in education. Although the connection between copyright and education has been a hotly debated topic since the beginning of copyright law; the literature has not addressed the connection between the incorporation of ICTs in education and copyright law. Nor has the literature has addressed the United States-Colombia Free Trade Agreement’s copyright provisions’ consequences on education. Therefore, for the first time in the literature, this dissertation brings together three controversial subjects in the copyright field: education, technology, and FTAs focusing in the case of the U.S.-Colombia Free Trade agreement. First, this dissertation explains the transformation of the learning process by the use of the technology and its ability to solve salient problems of Colombia’s educational system. Then, the dissertation analyzes how a copy-and-paste implementation of the international standards of copyright protection specifically regarding limitations on the liability of Internet Service Providers and protection of technological protection measures may restrain the ability to solve salient crisis in the educational system, even when copyright is not at stake. Finally, using the cases of Chile and Australia, this dissertation examines how a copy-and-paste implementation of the U.S. free trade agreements’ obligations is not the only way of complying with the FTAs’ requirements. This dissertation becomes an important source of information for policy makers in developing countries who are confronting the obligation to implement the U.S. FTAs’ copyright chapters but at the same time are betting on the use of the technology in education. It is also useful for educators in the field, for educational institutions, and an important addition to the existing literature on the subject

description: Particles of plastic waste less than 5mm in size, called microplastics, are found in the water of rivers and seas everywhere. Microplastics are bioavailable for most of the marine biota. In the body of aquatic organisms, they can cause physical damage, become sources of toxic effects as a result of the intake of monomers and various additives used in their production. In 2020-2021. An assessment was made of the content of microplastic particles in the coastal areas in the upper and middle reaches of the Neva River up to the border of Saint Petersburg. At all observation locations on the coastal strip and in the water, microplastic particles were found. The concentration of microplastics in the water of the coastal zone increased in the direction from the source to the mouth and averaged 5.2 U / L.

Paratype: BOLD Specimen ID TLMF 28224; BOLD Sequence ID PALEA214-20.
BIN: BOLD:AEC3873
 Identity: Trifurcula angustivalva Varenne & Nel, 2016
 Remarks. Trifurcula angustivalva was described from a male holotype and a female paratype and compared with several other congeneric species, particularly T. squamatella Stainton, 1849. We have been able to obtain a short sequence of the holotype with 242 bp and a complete DNA barcode of the paratype. Both sequences fully correspond to each other with ca. 7.5% distance to the nearest neighbour in BOLD, an unnamed species of Trifurcula from Slovenia. Morphologically the species is well characterised, and belongs to the group of species around T. squamatella and T. beirnei Puplesis, 1984, that probably all make hidden mines inside stems or galls on brooms (Laštůvka & Laštůvka 2005).

description: Die Forschungsarbeit untersucht mit sechs Personen aus der Schuleinheit Hegi Winterthur, welche Handlungsmöglichkeiten Lehrpersonen und Schulische Heilpädagogen im Zyklus 1 und 2 aus Regelschulen haben, um positive Beziehungen zu ihren Schülerinnen und Schülern aufzubauen und zu erhalten. In Anlehnung an die Kraftfeldanalyse nach Lewin (vgl. Philipp, 2006) wurden neben einer Gründungssitzung, vier moderierte Gruppendiskussionen durchgeführt. Die qualitativen Daten zeigen fördernde sowie hemmende Faktoren im Hinblick auf eine positive Beziehung zwischen einer Lehrperson und einem Kind. Zudem wird deutlich, dass zum einen der Faktor Zeit für Aufbau und Erhalt von Beziehungen wesentlich ist und zum anderen, dass eine positive Beziehung bedeutsam für ein erfolgreiches Lernen eines Kindes ist. Zusammenfassend werden präventive und unterrichtsrelevante Beziehungsangebote herausgearbeitet.

description: Music genre classification is one example of content-based analysis of music signals. Traditionally, human-engineered features were used to automatize this task and 61% accuracy has been achieved in the 10-genre classification. However, it's still below the 70% accuracy that humans could achieve in the same task. Here, we propose a new method that combines knowledge of human perception study in music genre classification and the neurophysiology of the auditory system. The method works by training a simple convolutional neural network (CNN) to classify a short segment of the music signal. Then, the genre of a music is determined by splitting it into short segments and then combining CNN's predictions from all short segments. After training, this method achieves human-level (70%) accuracy and the filters learned in the CNN resemble the spectrotemporal receptive field (STRF) in the auditory system.

subject: Short-shoot Fuji, Tree structure, Analysis of correlative factors

description: In order to clarify the correlation between short-shoot Fuji apple tree structure and different factors under different trimming and pruning modes, we investigate the trunk taperingness of free-spindle short-shoot Fuji and slender-spindle short-shoot Fuji, respectively, as well as the total thickness, average thickness, total length and average length of small main branches in the standard demonstration apple garden in Xingtang County of Hebei Province. By SPSS analysis, we study the correlation between trunk taperingness of trees with different shapes and the growth indices of their small main branches. The results show that the trunk taperingness of free-spindle short-shoot Fuji apple is negatively correlated with the total thickness, average thickness, total length and average length of small main branches, but the correlation is not significant; the trunk taperingness of slender-spindle short-shoot Fuji apple is negatively correlated with the total thickness but positively correlated with other factors, and the correlation with average length reaches a significant level. The results of this study can provide a scientific basis for guiding the high-density dwarf rootstock short-shoot Fuji apple tree trimming technology.

description: In this paper, based on a one-dimensional non-Hermitian spin model with $\mathcal{RT}$-invariant term, we study the non-Hermitian physics for the two (nearly) degenerate ground states. By using the high-order perturbation method, an effective pseudo-spin model is obtained to describe non-Hermitian physics for the two (nearly) degenerate ground states, which are precisely consistent with the numerical calculations. We found that there may exist effective (anti) $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry for the effective pseudo-spin model of the two (nearly) degenerate ground states. In particular, there exists spontaneous (anti) $\mathcal{PT}$ -symmetry breaking for the topological degenerate ground states with tunable parameters in external fields. We also found that even a very tiny imaginary external field applied will drive $\mathcal{PT}$ phase transition.

description: We derive the semiclassical (instanton-induced) contribution to the inelastic cross section of two color dipoles at large $\sqrt{s}$. We study its dependence on the dipole sizes, orientations and, most importantly, the impact parameter. The inelastic cross section is approximately quadratic in the dipole sizes, and Gaussian-like in the impact parameter with a width of the order of the instanton size. These results are directly relevant to double DIS $γ^*γ^*$, as well as $γ^*γ$ and standard DIS $γ^* h$ at small x when a real photon and a hadron can be approximated by a dipole. For such cases, with one small dipole scattering on a large dipole, the impact parameter profile exhibits a width of about 1/2 fm, which is in good agreement with the impact parameter profile recently extracted from DIS HERA data, including diffractive $γ^*\to J/ψ$.

In this paper, we study the value-distribution of such Artin $L$-functions for families of non-Galois cubic fields in conductor aspect. We prove that various mean values of the Artin $L$-functions are represented by integrals involving a density function which can be explicitly constructed. By the class number formula, the result is applied to the study on the distribution of class numbers of cubic fields.

description: Interactions between particles are usually a resource for quantum computing, making quantum many-body systems intractable by any known classical algorithm. In contrast, noise is typically considered as being inimical to quantum many-body correlations, ultimately leading the system to a classically tractable state. This work shows that noise represented by two-body processes, such as pair loss, plays the same role as many-body interactions and makes otherwise classically simulable systems universal for quantum computing. We analyze such processes in detail and establish a complexity transition between simulable and nonsimulable systems as a function of a tuning parameter. We determine important classes of simulable and nonsimulable two-body dissipation. Finally, we show how using resonant dissipation in cold atoms can enhance the performance of two-qubit gates.

description: Agriculture is the main economic activity for Malawi where people depend on natural resources like fertile soils. Thus, Government recognizes the need to conserve natural resources in its development plans. Following the adoption of the Decentralization Policy and the Local Government Act of 1998, such responsibility mainly rests with District Councils. This paper provides information about the environmental situation of the land and agriculture sector for Machinga district; and also demonstrates the outlook of the sector by the year 2020. The study used data from Machinga District Agriculture Development Office and the 2012 Machinga District State of Environment and Outlook Report. Basing on governance and economic growth, the districts future has four possible scenarios, with Ikwenda Chenene scenario being preferred. To achieve this scenario there is need for concerted efforts for the conservation and management of natural resources by all stakeholders. This case study of Machinga district provides useful insights for Malawi and indeed several other communities in geographical locations with similar environment challenges.
title: South Asian women and the construction of political identity
Creators: name: Takhar, Shaminder
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2004

description: The thesis examines the complex characteristics of agency and identity construction, focusing on South Asian women. Firstly, it attempts to demonstrate the centrality of networks of history and discourses in the construction of the female postcolonial subject. Secondly, it uses qualitative research to challenge the assumed low levels of organization amongst South Asian women, demonstrating that forms of political agency exist. Historical contextualization of South Asian women's experiences enables us to understand their position, with all the complexities involved, along the axes of caste, class and religion, in contemporary society. It is particularly significant with reference to race, culture and multicultural understandings, facilitating a departure from a stereotypical understanding of passivity and complacency. The research is based on in-depth semi-structured interviews carried out with South Asian women within the Greater London area. Understanding South Asian women's experiences and the interpretations of 'belonging' goes some way toward unravelling the complexities of subjectivity and identity. Ideas around race and gender and the ability to act individually and collectively are analyzed in the women's narratives, allowing exploration of social positioning and agency. The interviews investigate the processes of negotiation that take place in the construction of identities and new subjectivities; how experience can influence a woman's consciousness of her position in the world. In fact a number of contradictory positions may be taken up as well as adopting a unified identity, for example along the lines of culture or religion. This research shows how South Asian women understand themselves and examines identity construction, and it is precisely the fluidity of it which is complex, it goes beyond the idea of fixed and essential political identities. Evident are the ways in which women draw on history, and the constant negotiating between essentialized and collective identities, and subjectiveexperiences as post-colonial subjects.

Facebook use and its relationship to social connectedness and loneliness: The moderating role of social skills

description: Past research suggests that Facebook may function as an alternative social medium though which individuals can form and maintain relationships and satisfy their social connectedness needs (Grieve et al., 2013). Less in known, however, about what type of communication on Facebook fosters social connectedness, and if using Facebook is equally as effective in enhancing positive psychosocial outcomes for all users. Researchers have increasingly turned efforts towards investigating whether Facebook may specifically be beneficial for enhancing the social connectedness of people who struggle with in-person communication due to various reasons such as shyness, social anxiety, and social skills deficits (e.g., Kraut et al., 2002; Ryan & Xenos, 2011; Burke et al., 2010). The purpose of the current study was to explore the relationship between one’s type of communication on Facebook and psychosocial outcome variables of loneliness and social connectedness by examining the potential moderating role of level of social skills. A sample of 120 non-clinical undergraduate students completed self-report measures examining loneliness, social connectedness, motivation for connection, social skills, engagement in various activities on Facebook, and attitudes about Facebook. While the statistical trends found in the current data do not allow us to draw firm conclusions about the results, the present study offers tentative support to the literature that directed Facebook use may be associated with greater feelings of intimate social connectedness for low socially skilled individuals, whereas directed activity is less related to connectedness for individuals high in social skills. Results also indicate that the pattern of one’s Facebook use is associated with their level of social skill and social connectedness—namely that exclusively passive users may struggle more in these areas than the rest of users. Results contribute to our knowledge of how individual variables, such as social skills, interact with Facebook use and psychosocial wellbeing, and speak to continued need to explore this area further.

BIN: none
 Identity: Trifurcula guercheae Varenne & Nel, 2019, identity uncertain.
 Remarks. Trifurcula guercheae was described from a male holotype and briefly compared with Trifurcula immundella (Zeller, 1839) and T. beirnei Puplesis, 1984 (Varenne & Nel 2019). Both are indeed rather different species, but the genitalia of T. guercheae are almost completely identical to T. pallidella (Duponchel, 1843) (van Nieukerken & Johansson 1986; van Nieukerken et al. 2004b), a species currently unknown from France, although it is found in the Ligurian Alps not far from the French border (van Nieukerken et al. 2004b).
 A short DNA barcode sequence of 406bp of the specimen is about 3% divergent from T. pallidella (Duponchel, 1843), the nearest known neighbour in BOLD. For the time being we refrain from synonymising T. guercheae, as further material is needed to assess the barcode variation in T. pallidella.

Facebook use and its relationship to social connectedness and loneliness: The moderating role of social skills
Creators: name: Rothschild, Leah B.
Publisher: name: American University

description: Past research suggests that Facebook may function as an alternative social medium though which individuals can form and maintain relationships and satisfy their social connectedness needs (Grieve et al., 2013). Less in known, however, about what type of communication on Facebook fosters social connectedness, and if using Facebook is equally as effective in enhancing positive psychosocial outcomes for all users. Researchers have increasingly turned efforts towards investigating whether Facebook may specifically be beneficial for enhancing the social connectedness of people who struggle with in-person communication due to various reasons such as shyness, social anxiety, and social skills deficits (e.g., Kraut et al., 2002; Ryan & Xenos, 2011; Burke et al., 2010). The purpose of the current study was to explore the relationship between one’s type of communication on Facebook and psychosocial outcome variables of loneliness and social connectedness by examining the potential moderating role of level of social skills. A sample of 120 non-clinical undergraduate students completed self-report measures examining loneliness, social connectedness, motivation for connection, social skills, engagement in various activities on Facebook, and attitudes about Facebook. While the statistical trends found in the current data do not allow us to draw firm conclusions about the results, the present study offers tentative support to the literature that directed Facebook use may be associated with greater feelings of intimate social connectedness for low socially skilled individuals, whereas directed activity is less related to connectedness for individuals high in social skills. Results also indicate that the pattern of one’s Facebook use is associated with their level of social skill and social connectedness—namely that exclusively passive users may struggle more in these areas than the rest of users. Results contribute to our knowledge of how individual variables, such as social skills, interact with Facebook use and psychosocial wellbeing, and speak to continued need to explore this area further.

description: In this paper we use, in a preliminary way, the recently released EIGEN2 Earth gravity model, which is based on six months of data of CHAMP only, in order to reassess the systematic error due to the mismodelling in the even zonal harmonics of geopotential in the LAGEOS-LAGEOS II Lense-Thirring experiment involving the nodes of both the LAGEOS satellites and the perigee of LAGEOS II. The first results from the GGM01C Earth gravity model including the first GRACE data are very promising.

description: We construct a Kodaira-Spencer map from the big quantum cohomology of a sphere with three orbifold points to the Jacobian ring of the mirror Landau-Ginzburg potential function. This is constructed via the Lagrangian Floer theory of the Seidel Lagrangian and we show that Kodaira-Spencer map is a ring isomorphism.

description: The pairing symmetry of the hexagonal pnictide superconductor SrPtAs is discussed with taking into account its multiband structure. The topological chiral $d$-wave state with time-reversal-symmetry breaking has been anticipated from the spontaneous magnetization observed by the muon-spin-relaxation experiment. We point out in this paper that the recent experimental reports on the nuclear-spin-lattice relaxation rate $T_1^{-1}$ and superfluid density $n_s(T)$, which seemingly support the conventional $s$-wave pairing, are also consistent with the chiral $d$-wave state. The compatibility of the gap and multiband structures is crucial in this argument. We propose that the measurement of the bulk quasiparticle density of states would be useful for the distinction between two pairing states.

description: In several applications of the stochastic multi-armed bandit problem, the traditional objective of maximizing the expected total reward can be inappropriate. In this paper, motivated by certain operational concerns in online platforms, we consider a new objective in the classical setup. Given $K$ arms, instead of maximizing the expected total reward from $T$ pulls (the traditional "sum" objective), we consider the vector of total rewards earned from each of the $K$ arms at the end of $T$ pulls and aim to maximize the expected highest total reward across arms (the "max" objective). For this objective, we show that any policy must incur an instance-dependent asymptotic regret of $Ω(\log T)$ (with a higher instance-dependent constant compared to the traditional objective) and a worst-case regret of $Ω(K^{1/3}T^{2/3})$. We then design an adaptive explore-then-commit policy featuring exploration based on appropriately tuned confidence bounds on the mean reward and an adaptive stopping criterion, which adapts to the problem difficulty and achieves these bounds (up to logarithmic factors). We then generalize our algorithmic insights to the problem of maximizing the expected value of the average total reward of the top $m$ arms with the highest total rewards. Our numerical experiments demonstrate the efficacy of our policies compared to several natural alternatives in practical parameter regimes. We discuss applications of these new objectives to the problem of grooming an adequate supply of value-providing market participants (workers/sellers/service providers) in online platforms.

Can Mindfulness Counteract the Effect of Rumination on Attention? A Comparison Between Mindfulness, Self-Compassion and Control
Creators: name: Herron, Laura
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Depressive rumination can have negative effects on a person's ability to concentrate on tasks that require focused and sustained attention. Previous research has shown that mindfulness practice can be useful in improving aspects of attention, though the research is mixed on whether sustained attention in particular can be improved by practicing mindfulness. Preliminary findings have also suggested that self-compassion may also be related to the cycle of negative affect, rumination, and distracted attention. The current research aimed to evaluate the extent to which a brief mindfulness or self-compassion practice could improve performance on a sustained attention task after a period of depressive rumination. Undergraduate participants (N = 109) engaged in a negative mood induction and a rumination induction. They were then randomly assigned to one of three conditions, mindfulness, self-compassion or a "mind-wandering" control activity. Finally, participants completed the Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART; Smallwood et al., 2004).The control group showed better sustained attention than the mindfulness and self-compassion groups. There were no differences in performance between the two experimental groups. Possible reasons for these results are discussed, as are directions for future research.

description: We prove that a resonance enhancement of neutrino oscillations in magnetic field is possible due to transition magnetic moments and demonstrate that this resonance is strictly connected to the neutrino polarization. To study the main properties of this resonance, we obtain the probabilities of transitions between neutrino states with definite flavor and helicity in inhomogeneous electromagnetic field in the adiabatic approximation. Since the resonance is present only when the adiabaticity condition is fulfilled, we also obtain and discuss this condition.

description: Recent results have shown that many of the known extrasolar planetary systems contain regions which are stable for massless test particles. We examine the possibility that Saturn-mass planets exist in these systems, just below the detection threshold, and attempt to predict likely orbital parameters for such unseen planets. To do this, we insert a Saturn-mass planet into the stable regions of these systems and integrate its orbit for 100 million years. We conduct 200-600 of these experiments to test parameter space in HD37124, HD38529, 55Cnc, and HD74156. In HD37124 the global maximum of the survival rate of Saturns in parameter space is at semimajor axis a = 1.03 AU, eccentricity e=0.1. In HD38529, only 5% of Saturns are unstable, and the region in which a Saturn could survive is very broad, centered on 0.5

description: Ilmenite-type crystals find a variety of technological applications due to their intriguing physical properties. We present the results of the lattice dynamics studies of honeycomb antiferromagnetic ilmenite CoTiO$_3$ single crystal by the complementary polarized infrared, Raman, and dielectric spectroscopic techniques that are supplemented by the DFT calculations. The frequencies and symmetries of all predicted infrared and Raman active phonons were uniquely identified. Furthermore, it was found that the dielectric permittivity demonstrates distinct changes below antiferromagnetic ordering temperature in zero magnetic field due to spontaneous magnetodielectric effect. Our results establish the reliable basis for further investigation of the coupling of phonons with spins, magnetic excitations and other physical phenomena of this promising material.
