description: Several benchmarking techniques have been developed to assess and decompose the productivity growth of the industries. This paper reports the estimation of productivity change and its drivers for 23 water and sewerage companies in Chile during the period between 2007 and 2015, by applying the stochastic frontier approach (SFA) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) techniques. The study found that on average the productivity growth values estimated using the SFA approach were higher than those computed using DEA. Both methodological approaches evidenced that the main drivers contributing positively to productivity growth were the scale effect and technical change. However, under SFA, efficiency change contributed slightly positively to productivity change whereas under DEA, this driver contributed negatively. The differences in the productivity growth results between these benchmarking techniques suggest that policy-makers should not be indifferent to the selection of the most appropriate method for evaluating the productivity growth of water companies.

description: The isoscalar giant dipole resonance (ISGDR) has been investigated in 208Pb using inelastic scattering of 400 MeV alpha particles at forward angles, including 0deg. Using the superior capabilities of the Grand Raiden spectrometer, it has been possible to obtain spectra devoid of any "instrumental" background. The ISGDR strength distribution has been extracted from a multipole-composition of the observed spectra. The implication of these results on the experimental value of nuclear incompressibility are discussed.

description: We study the far-infrared emission properties of the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 253 based on IRAS maps and an ISOPHOT map at 180 microns. Based on the analysis of the light profiles, we have been able to identify three main structural components: an unresolved nuclear component, an exponential disk, and a kiloparsec scale bar.In addition, we also found a ring structure at the end of the bar that is particularly conspicuous at 12 microns. The Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) of each morphological component has been modeled as thermal dust emission at different temperatures. The unresolved nuclear component is dominated by cold dust emission (T ~ 50 K), whereas the disk emission is dominated by very cold dust (T ~ 16 K) plus a contribution from cold dust (T ~ 55 K). The bar emission corresponds mainly to cold dust (T ~ 23 K) plus a warm component (T ~ 148 K). We detect an extension of the disk emission due to very cold dust, which contributes a large fraction (94%) of the total dust mass of the galaxy. The estimated total dust mass is 8.2 +/- 10^7 Msun.

description: We analyze undiscounted continuous-time games of strategic experimentation with two-armed bandits. The risky arm generates payoffs according to a Lévy process with an unknown average payoff per unit of time which nature draws from an arbitrary finite set. Observing all actions and realized payoffs, plus a free background signal, players use Markov strategies with the common posterior belief about the unknown parameter as the state variable. We show that the unique symmetric Markov perfect equilibrium can be computed in a simple closed form involving only the payoff of the safe arm, the expected current payoff of the risky arm, and the expected full-information payoff, given the current belief. In particular, the equilibrium does not depend on the precise specification of the payoff-generating processes.

description: A search for supersymmetric partners of gluons and quarks is presented, involving signatures with jets and either two isolated leptons (electrons or muons) with the same electric charge, or at least three isolated leptons. A data sample of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider between 2015 and 2018, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 139 fb$^{-1}$, is used for the search. No significant excess over the Standard Model expectation is observed. The results are interpreted in simplified supersymmetric models featuring both R-parity conservation and R-parity violation, raising the exclusion limits beyond those of previous ATLAS searches to 1600 GeV for gluino masses and 750 GeV for bottom and top squark masses in these scenarios.

Agricultural and Food Policy

description: In 2020 the Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union has to be renewed. This raises the question which policy would be optimal for the 3rd decade of the century, seen the changes in agriculture (decline in the number of farmers, effect of ict and other new technologies, concentration in the food chain etc.) and public issues that ask for solutions (climate change, sustainability, need for jobs and growth in rural development, food policy etc.) The history of the CAP has shown that policy changes are often incremental. Some argue that especially in 2020 changes will be small as the term of the policy is out of sync with the budget cycle (important decisions on the CAP are not taken without a decision on the EU’s financial framework) and as the CAP decision will be at the moment that the current commissioners hand over their mandate to their successors. However this should not prevent scholars from coming up with fresh ideas on how the policy could be made more effective and efficient for a resilient agriculture and food and nutrition security in a sustainable environment.

description: It has been widely understood that differential privacy (DP) can guarantee rigorous privacy against adversaries with arbitrary prior knowledge. However, recent studies demonstrate that this may not be true for correlated data, and indicate that three factors could influence privacy leakage: the data correlation pattern, prior knowledge of adversaries, and sensitivity of the query function. This poses a fundamental problem: what is the mathematical relationship between the three factors and privacy leakage? In this paper, we present a unified analysis of this problem. A new privacy definition, named \textit{prior differential privacy (PDP)}, is proposed to evaluate privacy leakage considering the exact prior knowledge possessed by the adversary. We use two models, the weighted hierarchical graph (WHG) and the multivariate Gaussian model to analyze discrete and continuous data, respectively. We demonstrate that positive, negative, and hybrid correlations have distinct impacts on privacy leakage. Considering general correlations, a closed-form expression of privacy leakage is derived for continuous data, and a chain rule is presented for discrete data. Our results are valid for general linear queries, including count, sum, mean, and histogram. Numerical experiments are presented to verify our theoretical analysis.

description: Existing therapeutic efficacy of chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy (PDT) is always affected by some resistance factors from tumour environment (TME), such as hypoxia and the antioxidant defense system. This study aims at developing a cascaded intelligent multifunctional nanoplatforms to modulate the TME resistance for synergistically enhanced chemo- and photodynamic therapies. In this study, we synthesised hollow manganese dioxide nanoparticles (HMDNs) loaded with the hydrophilic chemotherapeutic drug (acriflavine, ACF) and the hydrophobic photosensitizer (chlorine6, Ce6), which was further encapsulated by pH-sensitive liposome to form core-shell nanocomposite, with surface modified with arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) peptide to achieve tumour targeting. After uptake by tumour cells, the liposome shell was rapidly degraded by the low pH, and the inner core could be released from the liposome. Then, the released HMDNs/ACF/Ce6 would be dissociated by low pH and high levels of intracellular GSH within TME to release encapsulated drugs, thereby resulting in synergistic effects of chemotherapy and PDT. Meanwhile, the released ACF could bind with HIF-1a and then inhibit the expression levels of HIF-1’s downstream signalling molecules P-gp and VEGF, which could further strengthen the antitumor effects. As a result, HMDNs/ACF/Ce6@Lipo-RGD NPs with laser irradiation exhibited superior anti-tumour therapeutic efficiency.

description: Starting with the generators of the Poincaré group for arbitrary mass (m) and spin (s) a nonunitary transformation is implemented to obtain momenta with an absolute Planck scale limit. In the rest frame (for $m>0$) the transformed energy coincides with the standard one, both being $m$. As the latter tends to infinity under Lorentz transformations the former tends to a finite upper limit $m\coth(lm) = l^{-1}+ O(l)$ where $l$ is the Planck length and the mass-dependent nonleading terms vanish exactly for zero rest mass.The invariant $m^{2}$ is conserved for the transformed momenta. The speed of light continues to be the absolute scale for velocities. We study various aspects of the kinematics in which two absolute scales have been introduced in this specific fashion. Precession of polarization and transformed position operators are among them. A deformation of the Poincaré algebra to the SO(4,1) deSitter one permits the implementation of our transformation in the latter case. A supersymmetric extension of the Poincaré algebra is also studied in this context.

description: Supply chain management is adapted to the particularities of local foods production characterised by short chains and intensive horizontal and vertical networking in an integrated context. A case study of chain of local foods logistics to a common retailer in Norway empirically grounds what constitutes "supply chain management of local foods". Findings based on analysis applying contingency theory indicate that local foods chains not only are short in structure. They are differentiated grounded in a developed local reputation. They also resemble in structure as well as operations more service supply chains than modernistic supply chains due of heightened reciprocal interdependencies demanding quality networking. The exchange economy is therefore vital in managing local foods logistics.

This result strongly suggests that the mesonic degrees of freedom play an important role in the description of the parton distributions of the hadronic sea. In this article, we review the current status of our knowledge of the flavor structure of the nucleon sea. The implications of various theoretical models as well as possible future measurements are also discussed.

description: We present a theory of an optically induced valley polarization in an interacting, time-reversal symmetric Weyl semimetal placed under strong magnetic fields. Because the application of a magnetic field reduces the symmetry of the crystal, the optical absorption intensity differs at Weyl nodes that were equivalent by symmetry at zero field. At strong magnetic field, the difference in the absorption intensity reaches 100% for a sizeable frequency interval of the incident light. This complete valley polarization originates from interband transitions involving the chiral Landau level, and can be controlled by changing the directions of the magnetic field and the light propagation. We identify the splitting of $0\to 1$ or $-1\to 0$ inter Landau level transitions as an observable signature of the complete valley polarization, and discuss its manifestation in the TaAs family of materials.

It should also take a look at the competition among producers and determine the market position of mentioned products. Data is gathered in two significant retail objects: „M-Rodić“ and „Univerexport“, in Novi Sad. This research has gathered the data about assortment, price and type of package of products. Supply of pickles, peppers, beet root, and button mushrooms is the most diverse. The least diversity is seen in the supply of beans, string beans, sweet corn and carrot. This condition is the result of, before all, habits and affinities of consumers. Domestic producers are dominant in the supply of beet root, hot peppers and pickles. In the supply of mixed salad, only domestic producers are present. Foreign producers are dominant in the supply of pepper and button mushrooms. In the supply of string beans, carrot, sweet corn and beans, there are only foreign producers present.

description: A calibration source using gamma-rays from 16N (t_1/2 = 7.13 s) beta-decay has been developed for the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) for the purpose of energy and other calibrations. The 16N is produced via the (n,p) reaction on 16O in the form of CO2 gas using 14-MeV neutrons from a commercially available Deuterium-Tritium (DT) generator. The 16N is produced in a shielding pit in a utility room near the SNO cavity and transferred to the water volumes (D2O or H2O) in a CO2 gas stream via small diameter capillary tubing. The bulk of the activity decays in a decay/trigger chamber designed to block the energetic beta-particles yet permit the primary branch 6.13 MeV gamma-rays to exit. Detection of the coincident beta-particles with plastic scintillator lining the walls of the decay chamber volume provides a tag for the SNO electronics. This paper gives details of the production, transfer, and triggering systems for this source along with a discussion of the source gamma-ray output and performance.

Multiannual migration of population on relation rural-urban areas, followed by not fully appropriate social and rural policy, led to significant depopulation of rural areas. Multiannual practice of not investing in development of rural infrastructure and other aspects of rural living (strengthening of social and educational component of living in rural areas, development of rural economy not necessarily linked to agriculture, environmental protection…) made from rural areas parts of countryside with limited non-agricultural employment possibilities and providing permanent source of descent living, limited educational possibilities, insufficiently developed social aspects of everyday life and by all of these – unattractive areas for living of all residents and especially, young generations as key stakeholders in development of rural areas. Active role of Government and budget, Ministry in charge among other responsible institutions, for programming and financing measures of support to sustainable agricultural and rural development can play most important role in decreasing rural poverty.

In other words, practically were implemented policy of non-different marketing. This could mean that other potential tourist destination that have condition for tourist development that possibility didn’t practiced. It were not met needs of costumers and potential tourist supply. This resulted that large number of respectable natural and social resources have been unrightfully ignores, which resulted on the other side aware or unaware negate of advantage which could have if tourist destination invest in tourism. Brčko small town in Bosnia and Hercegovina has shared the destiny of the other tourist potential destinations in our country. The aim of the work is to point out the potential strategic directions for the future development of the tourism in Brčko distrikt in aspect of multifunctionality with put the point on rural areas. In this way it would be evident how to make use of great potential for further development of the tourism in a practical sense.

description: We discuss the recently measured event-by-event multiplicity fluctuations in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. It is shown that the observed non-monotonic behaviour of the scaled variance of multiplicity distribution as a function of collision centrality (such effect is not observed in a widely used string-hadronic models of nuclear collisions) can be fully explained by the correlations between produced particles promoting cluster formation. We define a cluster as a quasi-neutral gas of charged and neutral particles which exhibits collective behaviour. The characteristic space scale of this shielding is the Debye length. Multiplicity distribution in a cluster is given by Negative Binomial distribution while the rest (reservoir), treated as a superposition of elementary collisions, is described by Binomial distribution. The ability to generate spatial structures (cluster phase) sign the propensity to self-organize of hadronic matter.

description: We report the demonstration of a sensitive absolute gravity gradiometer based on light-pulse atom interference techniques. The gradiometer consists of two absolute accelerometers operated in a differential mode. We report a differential acceleration sensitivity of 4e-9 g/Hz^(1/2) and an inferred differential acceleration accuracy of less than 1e-9 g. This corresponds to a gravity gradient sensitivity of 4 E/Hz^(1/2) [1 E = 1e-9 s^(-2)] and an accuracy of better than 1 E for a 10 m separation between accelerometers. We demonstrate that the instrument can be used to detect nearby masses in a vibrationally noisy environment and characterize instrument sensitivity to spurious acceleration and rotation noise.

description: We present the results of a proof-of-concept experiment which demonstrates that deep learning can successfully be used for production-scale classification of compact star clusters detected in HST UV-optical imaging of nearby spiral galaxies (D < 20 Mpc) in the PHANGS-HST survey. Given the relatively small nature of existing, human-labelled star cluster samples, we transfer the knowledge of state-of-the-art neural network models for real-object recognition to classify star clusters candidates into four morphological classes. We perform a series of experiments to determine the dependence of classification performance on: neural network architecture (ResNet18 and VGG19-BN); training data sets curated by either a single expert or three astronomers; and the size of the images used for training. We find that the overall classification accuracies are not significantly affected by these choices. The networks are used to classify star cluster candidates in the PHANGS-HST galaxy NGC 1559, which was not included in the training samples. The resulting prediction accuracies are 70%, 40%, 40-50%, 50-70% for class 1, 2, 3 star clusters, and class 4 non-clusters respectively. This performance is competitive with consistency achieved in previously published human and automated quantitative classification of star cluster candidate samples (70-80%, 40-50%, 40-50%, and 60-70%). The methods introduced herein lay the foundations to automate classification for star clusters at scale, and exhibit the need to prepare a standardized dataset of human-labelled star cluster classifications, agreed upon by a full range of experts in the field, to further improve the performance of the networks introduced in this study.

description: Objective: To investigate the association between polymorphisms in PTPN2 (rs1893217 and rs478582) and type 1 diabetes (T1D) risk with different diagnosed age, as well as related clinical characteristics in Chinese Han population. Methods: A total of 2270 Chinese Han individuals (1023 T1D patients and 1247 healthy controls) were genotyped for rs1893217 and rs478582. And 306 newly diagnosed T1D patients were measured for C-peptide levels based on a standard mixed-meal tolerance test. In addition, 40 healthy controls were analyzed for different T cell subsets by multi-color flow cytometry. Results: Neither rs1893217 nor rs478582 showed any association with T1D risk under an additive model. Stratified analysis for T1D diagnosed age revealed that rs1893217, but not rs478582, was significantly associated with T1D patients diagnosed age ≤18 (OR =0.80, 95% CI: 0.67–0.97, p = 0.02). For those diagnosed age >18, neither of them showed any association. We also found that rs1893217 had a higher positive rate of ZnT8A (CC vs. TT carrier, OR = 2.07, 95% CI: 1.07–4.03, p = 0.026) and IA-2A (CT vs. TT carrier, OR = 1.36, 95% CI: 1.02–1.80, p = 0.038). Furthermore, for rs478582, compared with TT, healthy individuals carrying CC/CT carriers had significantly lower frequency and Helios expression of naive Treg subsets (p = 0.049 and 0.048 respectively), but not secreting or activating Treg subsets. In addition, we did not find any association between these two polymorphisms and residual β-cell function in newly diagnosed T1D patients. Conclusions: Our results suggest that rs1893217 may increase the risk of early-onset T1D and affect humoral immunity, while rs478582 may affect Treg subsets.

description: We provide a derivation for the particle number densities on phase space for scalar and fermionic fields in terms of Wigner functions. Our expressions satisfy the desired properties: for bosons the particle number is positive, for fermions it lies in the interval between zero and one, and both are consistent with thermal field theory. As applications we consider the Bunch-Davies vacuum and fermionic preheating after inflation.

description: Local development is multifunctional and complex process which incorporates different aspects like creation of planning and management methodology mainly through construction of relevant data base, key performance indicators, diagnostics reports, strategic action plans, generation of project ideas and proposals as well local development program implementation. It also incorporates a process of monitoring and evaluation of local development initiatives as well as connectivity with overall regional and macro-economic policies. So in the paper are specifically analyzed and discussed critical framework-conditions for strategic development programming which has been appeared in West Balkan Countries, Republic of Croatia and Serbia during the regional and local development projects implementation. The main critical framework conditions regards to Impediments on a Local level connected with different structures which led to different experiences, successes and problems; Accuracy and relevance of data and information; Institutional competence; Consideration of horizontal and vertical relations of local community which neglect their required active role in the development process; Financial restrictions as a considerable bottleneck for successful development planning upon unstable resource flow; Political culture norms and values; and The role of external experts and improvement of the above mentioned aspects which will enhance the situation of development planning at the local level in a sustainable manner. So any interventions must consider these interdependencies and the technical assistance in the field of local or regional development based on long term involvement. It is also concluded that the success of development efforts of the subordinated administrative levels depends to a high degree on adequate framework-conditions, which have to be formed and fostered at the superior level.

description: Agriculture is branch of economy of special importance to the economy of the Republic of Serbia since it creates approximately 20% of gross national product and has realistic potentials for increase of production volume and processing of agricultural products. Economical potential of agriculture imposes the need for analysis of small and medium entrepreneurship which should be carrier of future development of agribusiness. Cluster analysis is method to determine how the municipalities in the Republic of Serbia are grouped according to the level of development of small and medium agribusinesses. Also, in this way we get insight into current condition of regional development of this sector as well as possibility for development of least developed municipalities in Serbia.

description: Some neutron stars may be born spinning fast and with strong magnetic fields---the so-called \emph{millisecond magnetars}. It is important to understand how a star's magnetic axis moves with respect to the spin axis in the star's early life, as this effects both electromagnetic and gravitational wave emission. Previous studies have highlighted the importance of viscous dissipation within the star in this process. We advance this program by additionally considering the effect of the electromagnetic torque. We find an interesting interplay between the viscous dissipation, which makes the magnetic axis orthogonalise with respect to the spin, verses magnetic torques that tend to make the magnetic axis align with the spin axis. We present some results, and highlight areas where our model needs to be made more realistic.
