description: This paper uses One-way ANOVA test and descriptive statistics on database comprising 88 055 loan applications from a Micro Fund for Women (MFW) in Jordan for the period (2011-2017). We detect if borrowers with different characteristics e.g. years of formal education, gender, nationality) have different level of capabilities that lead to the difference in possibilities in the granted loan sizes. Our analysis finds out that there are no observable characteristics affect loan allocation. Variables such as gender, years of formal education, nationality found to have no significant effect on MFW disbursed loans. Moreover, MFW branch location has no significant effect on loan size. The outcome of this paper calls for further research to identify the most relevant factors affect loan size in microfinance industry in Jordan.

description: We report on a coastal experiment to study GPS L1 reflections. The campaign was carried out at the Barcelona Port breaker and dedicated to the development of sea-state retrieval algorithms. An experimental system built for this purpose collected and processed GPS data to automatically generate a times series of the interferometric complex field (ICF). The ICF was analyzed off line and compared to a simple developed model that relates ICF coherence time to the ratio of significant wave height (SWH) and mean wave period (MWP). The analysis using this model showed good consistency between the ICF coherence time and nearby oceanographic buoy data. Based on this result, preliminary conclusions are drawn on the potential of coastal GNSS-R for sea state monitoring using semi-empirical modeling to relate GNSS-R ICF coherence time to SWH.

description: Background: Physical activity has cultural significance as well as population health and other benefits. A range of factors may influence Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adult participation. Purpose: This mixed methods systematic review synthesised existing evidence on facilitators and barriers for physical activity participation experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults. Methods: Joanna Briggs Institute methodology was used. A systematic search was undertaken of 11 databases and 14 grey literature websites during 2020. Included studies reported physical activity facilitators and barriers experienced by Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander participants aged 18+ years, living in their usual community. We also examined Indigenous capacity building characteristics of studies and appraised studies using the Mixed Method Appraisal Tool (MMAT) and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Quality Appraisal Tool (QAT). Results: Twenty-seven studies met inclusion criteria, 22 studies involved local Indigenous communities, of which nine collaborated with local Indigenous organisations. Study methodological quality was generally high according to the MMAT but much poorer or unclear from an Indigenous appraisal perspective. Sixty-two different facilitators and 63 different barriers were identified across individual, interpersonal, community/environmental and policy/program themes. Prominent facilitators included support from family, friends, and program staff, and opportunities to connect with community or culture. Prominent barriers included a lack of transport, financial constraints, lack of time, and overriding work, family or cultural commitments. Conclusions: Strategies to increase physical activity participation should seek to enhance facilitators and address barriers, collaboratively with communities and with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leadership. Funding: This research was supported by funding from the UNSW Ageing Futures Institute.

description: Szakirodalmi források azt mutatják, hogy az élelmiszer-fogyasztás az egyik legnagyobb környezetterheléssel járó fogyasztási terület, amely a környezetre kifejtett hatása mellett közvetlenül az egyén egészségét is meghatározza. Tanulmányom célja, hogy a különböző hazai és nemzetközi kutatások alapján ismertessem és összevessem a fenntartható élelmiszer-fogyasztással kapcsolatos elméleti ismereteket, a fenntartható fogyasztás magyarországi jellemzőit és benchmarking módszer segítségével bemutassam, hogy az egyes országok milyen kommunikációs kampányok segítségével igyekeznek előmozdítani a fenntartható élelmiszer-fogyasztást, illetve a háztartásokat a környezeti hatások csökkentése érdekében. Az elemzésből kiderül, hogy széleskörű eszközrendszer áll rendelkezésre a fenntartható élelmiszer-fogyasztás népszerűsítésére, amelynek elemeit azonban az egyes országok eltérő módon és mértékben alkalmazzák. Látható, hogy az oktatás az egyik leghatékonyabb eszköz arra, hogy felruházza az egyéneket azokkal a készségekkel és kompetenciákkal, amelyek a fenntartható fogyasztóvá váláshoz szükségesek. A környezeti nevelés azonban csak akkor hatásos, ha jelentős mértékben képes hatást gyakorolni a benne résztvevők környezeti tudatosságára. Az egyes országok kormányai által alkalmazott kommunikációs kampányok célja pedig éppen az, hogy öko-barát termékek vásárlására ösztönözzenek. ----------------------------------- Secondary sources show that food consumption is one of the biggest consumption area with environmental impact which also directly defines the health of the individual. The purpose of this paper is to present and compare the theoretical knowledge of sustainable food consumption on the basis of various domestic and international researches and practice examples. Moreover, by means of benchmarking method, to show what kind of tools we can use in promoting sustainable food consumption. The analysis shows that there is a wide range of tools available to promote sustainable food consumption, the elements of which are, however, applied in different ways and extent. It can be seen, however, that education is one of the most effective tool for empowering individuals with the skills and competences needed to become a sustainable consumer. However, environmental education is only effective if it has a significant impact on the environmental consciousness and consumer habits of its participants. The purpose of the communication campaigns used by the governments of each countries is to stimulate the purchase of eco-friendly products.

description: Background: Physical activity (PA) and adiposity are both major causal risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality (ACM). Purpose: To examine the associations of concurrent changes in physical activity and adiposity with incident CVD and ACM. Methods: Baseline PA was categorized into inactive, insufficient, and sufficient based on current guidelines. Body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) were categorised into baseline tertiles. Both exposures were further grouped as decreased, stable, or increased based on changes in category over time. We examined hazard ratios (HR’s) for all-cause mortality using cox regression and cox regression with competing risk for CVD. Results: A total of 2,573 incident CVD events and 471 deaths occurred among 29,494 participants with an average CVD and mortality follow-up of 4.7 (2.2) and 5.1 (2.1) years. Relative to stable PA and BMI or WHR (reference), most groups showed higher CVD risk with adiposity fluctuations. For example, when PA decreased, CVD risk was 1.82 (95%CI = 1.53 to 2.18) if BMI decreased and 2.00 (1.72 to 2.33) if BMI increased. Decreasing PA was associated with higher ACM regardless of adiposity change (i.e. HR = 1.89 [1.25 to 2.87] if WHR increased). Conclusions: PA stability or increase was not associated with increased ACM risk, across adiposity change levels. Stable adiposity was not associated with increased CVD risk, if PA was stable or increased. Funding: National Health Medical Research Council Ideas Grant (APP 1180812).

description: Prior researches have found that emotions and subsequent behaviours are closely bonded. Following that, in the context of global warming, this study examines how approach-oriented emotions (e.g. happiness) and avoidant emotions (e.g. sadness) influence the preference of energy, choice of diet and willingness to recycle. Thus, we have two conditions (i.e. happy and sad) in the study and each condition is asked to complete a survey regarding the pro-environmental behaviors. The result reveals that happiness makes people more likely to recycle and sadness has the opposite effect. However, no results are found in the willingness to use green energy and plant-based diet. This result contributes to the previous finding and give a dimensional perspective on how to analysis the effect of emotions on global warming actions. Limitations and implication are also discussed.

description: A new scheme of approximation in quantum theory is proposed which is potentially applicable to arbtrary interacting systems. The method consists in in approximating the original Hamiltonian by one corresponding to a suitable exactly solvable system (with interaction) such that the "quantum average" of both are equal, thus forcing self-consistency.The method transcends the limitations of the variational method and the perturbation theory.The results are systematically improvable by the construction of a improved perturbation theory (IPT) which automatically satisfies the condition of convergence. Uniformly accurate results are obtained for the case of the quartic-,sextic- and octic anharmonic oscillators as well as the quartic and sextic double well oscillators. The leading order results reproduce earlier results by different methods using different input assumptions.The results for the sextic oscillators agree well with exact prediction of supersymmetry. We also discuss the stability and structure of the effective vacuum state of the approximation.

description: Background: There is some evidence that simply measuring physical activity alone can increase self-reported physical activity behaviour. Purpose: To describe changes in objectively-measured physical activity within control groups in primary care physical activity intervention studies. Methods: PubMed, MEDLINE, SPORTDiscus, PsychINFO, and CINAHL were searched from inception to February 2019. Physical activity controlled intervention studies measuring objectively-measured physical activity in primary care with adults were included. Results: Thirty studies were eligible and 22 studies were included in the meta-analysis. Noteworthy increases (≥10%) in objectively-measured physical activity within control groups were found in 17% of studies at the end of the intervention period. Noteworthy increases were reported in studies with younger participants, one-third of the pedometer studies, one-third of studies with participants at risk of chronic disease and in studies with a shorter duration between measurements. No control group improvements were found in participants with chronic disease. Meta-analyses found that steps.day-1, counts.day-1 and counts.minute-1did not significantly change within control groups. Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity minutes.day-1 significantly decreased (-3.97; 95% CI -6.31 to -1.64; P = 0.0009). Sub-analyses revealed that steps.day-1increased in participants < 50 years old (504; 95% CI -20 to 1029; P=0.06) and in studies that used pedometers (196; 95% CI -335 to 726; P=0.47). Conclusions: No significant improvements in objectively-measured physical activity were found within control groups in primary care. However, in younger participants without chronic disease, objectively-measured physical activity measurement alone may lead to an increase in physical activity levels, particularly in interventions using pedometers.

description: We consider a novel contribution to the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background induced by vector and tensor modes generated by the non-linear evolution of primordial scalar perturbations. Our calculation is based on relativistic second-order perturbation theory and allows to estimate the effects of these secondary modes on the polarization angular power-spectra. We show that a non-vanishing B-mode polarization unavoidably arises from pure scalar initial perturbations, thus limiting our ability to detect the signature of primordial gravitational waves generated during inflation. This secondary effect dominates over that of primordial tensors for an inflationary tensor-to-scalar ratio $r<10^{-6}$. The magnitude of the effect is smaller than the contamination produced by the conversion of polarization of type E into type B, by weak gravitational lensing. However the lensing signal can be cleaned, making the secondary modes discussed here the actual background limiting the detection of small amplitude primordial gravitational waves.

description: Background: Walking and cycling for transportation, namely active mobility (AM), can improve health through increasing individuals’ daily physical activity levels. People using AM increase their breathing rate, however, inhaling harmful air pollutants (AP) along with necessary oxygen. The interaction of these combined effects is complex physiologically, manifesting as acute changes in health indicators. Purpose: Our study aimed to synthesise the current knowledge on effect modification of AP exposure with AM on short-term health indicators to guide decision-making. Methods: A systematic review was conducted using Medline, Embase, Web of Science and Scopus databases. Searches included a wide range of keywords related to AP and AM to identify original articles published in English or Spanish in peer-reviewed journals until May 2021. Effect modification by AP was examined in studies on healthy adults where an interaction term between AM and AP was included in modelling or that presented stratified analyses by AP levels. Results: 4561 studies were found and 21 were finally included AP main indicators studied include particulate matter, ultrafine particles, and nitrogen oxides. Health indicators studied include a wide range of acute effects grouped into inflammatory, cardiovascular, and respiratory responses. Only four studies tested an interaction term within models. The associations of AM with blood pressure, heart rate variability, neutrophils, and lung function indicators were significantly modified by AP either in- or post-exposure. However, most associations between AM and health indicators were not modified by AP measures at any timepoint. Conclusions: Little evidence of interaction between AP and AM on acute responses was found. Further consideration on study design, interaction testing, and results reporting is needed to advance understanding of this complex relationship to guide future work and decision-making.

description: Background: Whole of Systems Trial of Prevention Strategies for Childhood Obesity (WHOSTOPS) was one of the first whole-of-community systems-based interventions designed to prevent childhood obesity. Purpose: We present objectively measured physical activity and sedentary time results from this four-year cluster-randomised controlled trial among children in grades four (approximately 9-10 years old) and six (approximately 11-12 years old). Methods: Ten communities were randomly allocated (1:1) to the WHOSTOPS intervention. A repeat cross-sectional design was used to collect data from children in 2015 (baseline), 2017, and 2019. Children wore hip-mounted ActiGraph (wGT3x-BT) accelerometer for 7 days. Freedson-Trost age-specific activity counts per minute (Axis 1) were converted into minutes.day-1 spent engaged in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), light physical activity (LPA), and sedentary time (ST). Linear mixed models were fitted to estimate the effects of the intervention on the three activity outcomes. Results: Data from 1,406 children (intervention n=745; control n=661) were included in the analyses. No significant intervention effects were observed for MVPA, LPA, or ST. There were positive, but non-significant, changes in mean MVPA between 2015-2017 favouring intervention boys (3.7mins/day; 95% confidence interval [CI]: -5.7, 13.1) and girls (5.5mins/day; 95% CI: -1.5, 12.6) which had decreased by 2019. Conclusions: WHOSTOPS did not significantly alter activity levels. Community initiatives – such as active transport drop-off zones and bike buses – may have contributed to the potentially meaningful increases MVPA, highlighting the necessity for further research.

description: The variational equation for the mean square displacement of the electron in the polaron worldline approach to quenched QED can be cast into a form which closely resembles the classical Abraham-Lorentz equation but without the conceptual and practical diseases of the latter. The connection with delay equations describing field retardation effects is also established. As applications we solve this integro-differential equation numerically for various values of the coupling constant and cut-off and re-derive the variational approximation to the anomalous mass dimension of the electron found recently.

description: This paper shows that econometric models that include categorical variables are not invariant to choice of ‘base’ category when random parameters are estimated, unless they are allowed to be correlated. We show that the invariance can lead to significant increases in Type I errors, and distortions in the implied behaviour of respondents. We hypothesise that these biases may influence the economic policy implications of published models that contain this error, but it’s impossible to be sure without re-estimating the model correctly.

description: We generalize the concept of optical state truncation and noiseless linear amplification to enable truncation of the Fock-state expansion of an optical state to higher order and to simultaneously amplify it using linear optics. The resulting generalized quantum scissors are more efficient for noiseless linear amplification than employing multiple scissors in parallel and are experimentally practical. As a particular example, we focus on a third-order scissor device and demonstrate advantages in terms of fidelity with the target state, probability of success, distillable entanglement, and the amount of non-Gaussianity introduced.

description: Background: Mobile health (mHealth) interventions can be used to promote movement behaviours (i.e., physical activity, sedentary behaviour, sleep). However, current systematic reviews include few studies from Asia, despite it being home to over 60% of the global population. Purpose: To identify and describe mHealth interventions promoting movement behaviours in Asia. Methods: Six databases (EMBASE, MEDLINE, ProQuest, Scopus, Web of Science, China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database) were searched up until August 2021. Studies describing an intervention with an mHealth component targeting one or more movement behaviours in a healthy or general population, of any age, in Asia were included. Searches returned 3986 unique records that were screened for eligibility in duplicate. Data from included studies was synthesised descriptively. Results: Eighty studies with a total of 1,413,652 participants were identified. Most were randomised trials (38.8%) or quasi-experimental (27.5%). Over 85% were published within the last eight years. Studies were from 17 countries (out of 55), the majority of these are classified as high (65.0%) or upper-middle income (28.7%). Most interventions targeted physical activity (93.8%), few targeted sleep (8.8%) or sedentary behaviours (7.5%). mHealth components included apps (n=23), pedometers (n=19), text messages (n=14), wearables (n=7), or combinations thereof (n=17). The average intervention length was 121.8 (SD 127.6) days. Conclusions: mHealth interventions in healthy populations in Asia have primarily targeted physical activity in high and upper-middle income countries. Currently, there are few interventions targeting sedentary behaviour or sleep, and very few conducted in low-income countries within Asia.

description: It is observed experimentally that the sign of the Hall resistance can be flipped by a dc electric current in the twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) at 3/4 filling of the four-fold degenerate conduction flat bands. The experiment implies a switching of the valley polarization (VP) and topology in TBG. Here we present a theory on the current-induced switching of VP and topology. The presence of current in the bulk causes {the} redistribution of {electron occupation} in bands near the Fermi energy, which then deforms and shifts the band dispersion due to the Coulomb interaction. Above a critical current, the original occupied and empty bands can be swapped resulting in the switching of VP and topology.

description: Background: There is a paucity of data from low- and middle-income countries on sedentary behaviour (SB) patterns during early childhood. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine how device-measured SB in young children differed across geographically, economically, and socio-demographically diverse populations, in an international sample. Methods: This multinational, cross-sectional pilot study included data from 1071 children from 19 countries, collected between 2018 and 2020. SB was measured for three consecutive days using activPAL accelerometers. Sedentary time, sedentary fragmentation, and seated transport duration were calculated using PAL Analysis Algorithms and a custom-made analysis program. Linear mixed models were used to examine the differences in SB variables between sex, country-level income groups, caregiver education levels, urban/rural location, and population density. Results: Children spent 56% (7.4 hrs) of their waking time sedentary, and 42% accrued at least one sedentary bout/day lasting ≥60 min. The longest average bout duration was 81.1±45.4 min, and an average of 61.1±50.1 min/day was spent in seated transport. Children from upper-middle-income and high-income countries spent a greater proportion of the day sedentary, accrued more sedentary bouts, had shorter breaks between sedentary bouts, and spent significantly more time in seated transport, than children from low- and lower-middle-income countries. Few differences were found in SB patterns when comparing between urban/rural settings and caregiver education levels within each country-level income group, while multiple significant differences were found when comparing between country-level income groups. Higher population density was correlated with several higher SB measures. Conclusions: These data provide greater understanding of young children's SB patterns globally and the influences of country income urban/rural setting, caregiver education levels, and population density. Country income levels and population density appear to be stronger drivers of the observed differences than sex, rural or urban residential setting, or caregiver educational attainment. Funding: The SUNRISE pilot studies were supported by Early Start, University of Wollongong.

description: There is a growing public concern for soils and the maintenance or enhancement of soil quality. Actually, soil resource plays a central role in issues regarding food security and climate change mitigation. Through their practices, farmers impact the physical, biological and chemical quality of their soils. However, in a strained economic environment, farmers face a trade-off between short term objectives of production and profitability, and a long term objective of soil resource conservation. In this article, we investigate the conditions under which farmers have a private interest to preserve the quality of their soil. We also characterize the optimal management strategies of soil quality dynamics. We use a simplified theoretical soil quality investment model, where farmers maximise their revenues under a soil quality dynamics constraint. In our production function, soil quality and productive inputs are cooperating production factors. In addition, productive inputs have a detrimental impact on soil quality dynamics. It appears that in some cases, farmers have a private and financial interest in preserving the quality of their soil at a certain level, since it is an endogenous production factor cooperating with productive inputs. However, situations can occur wherein the cooperative production benefits of soil quality and productive inputs are smaller than the marginal deterioration of soil quality due to productive inputs. In this case, one cannot draw conclusions about the existence of an equilibrium.
CHROMOSOME AND POLLEN MORPHOLOGY OF AMARANTHUS HYBRIDUS L. AND AMARANTHUS RETROFLEXUS L. IN BULGARIA

description: The chromosome and pollen morphology in the Bulgarian populations of Amaranthus hybridus L. and Amaranthus retroflexus L. was studied. The diploid chromosome number 2n = 34 was found. The metacentric type of chromosomes was predominant in all studied populations. In the karyotype of A. hybridus, the length of the metaphase chromosome ranged from 0.38 μm to 1.60 μm, and the total haploid length of the chromosome set - from 11.44 μm to 13.50 μm. The length of the chromosomes in A. retroflexus ranged from 0.18 μm to 2.27 μm, and the total haploid length of the chromosome set - from 13.01 μm to 23.32 μm. Pollen morphology was examined using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Pollen was defined as a spherical, pantoporate type. The pollen diameter in A. hybridus varied from 18.93 μm to 22.11 μm, and in A. retroflexus - from 16.75 μm to 22.21 μm. Differences in the number and diameter of pores have been found between the two species.
Hyperon polarization in different inclusive production processes in unpolarized high energy hadron-hadron collisions

description: We apply the picture proposed in a previous Letter, which relates the hyperon polarization in unpolarized hadron-hadron collisions to the left-right asymmetry in singly polarized reactions, to the production of different hyperons in reactions using different projectiles and/or targets. We discuss the different ingredients of the proposed picture in detail and present the results for hyperon polarization in the reactions such as $pp$, $K^-p$, $π^{\pm}p$, and $Σ^-p$ collisions. We compare the results with the available data and make predictions for future experiments.

description: In this letter we give an overview on recent developments in representation theory of star product algebras. In particular, we relate the *-representation theory of *-algebras over rings C = R(i) with an ordered ring R and i^2 = -1 to the *-representation theory of *-algebras over \mathbb{C} and point out some properties of the Picard groupoid corresponding to the notion of strong Morita equivalence. Some Morita invariants are interpreted as arising from actions of this groupoid.
