description: The aim of this article is to define and study a notion of unstable algebra over an operad that generalises the classical notion of unstable algebra over the Steenrod algebra. For this study we focus on the case of characteristic 2. We define $\star$-unstable $\mathcal P$-algebras, where $\mathcal P$ is an operad and $\star$ is a commutative binary operation in $\mathcal P$. We then build a functor that takes an unstable module $M$ to the free $\star$-unstable $\mathcal P$-algebra generated by $M$. Under some hypotheses on $\star$ and on $M$, we identify this unstable algebra as a free $\mathcal P$-algebra. Finally, we give some examples of this result, and we show how to use our main theorem to obtain a new construction of the unstable modules studied by Carlsson, Brown-Gitler, and Campbell-Selick, that takes into account their internal product.

Parody and Satire in Hanns Eisler's Palmström and Zeitungsausschnitte
Creators: name: Wells, Alyssa
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2015

description: Hanns Eisler routinely expressed his discontent with the state of music and society in the late 1920s in Die Rote Fahne—an organ of the Marxist revolutionary organization, the Spartakusbund, to which he often contributed. His 1928 essay “Man baut um,” among the most notable of these writings, declares that the high expenditures in art—such as the construction of a fourteen-million Mark opera house—to be the result of capitalist greed rather than a reflection of the desire for musical performances, as had been suggested. Although the cost of the new venue is the subject in this satirical passage, this contains a secondary accusation. With a grotesque sense of amusement, he suggests that schoolchildren are certainly content to go without breakfast because they understand the importance of the opera building. In doing so, he sheds light on the human consequences of material desires.
Caustic accusations regarding various aspects of musical culture are a common occurrence in Eisler’s writings, particularly in the years surrounding his break with his teacher, Arnold Schoenberg—1924-1927. During this time, not only did Eisler become increasingly vocal in his printed critiques, but his ideologies became apparent in his compositional style as well. This thesis contends that two of his musical parodies between 1924 and 1927, Palmström (1924) and Zeitungsausschnitte (1925-1927) contain satirical criticisms of contemporary musical consumption and content, which are paralleled in his published prosaic critiques.

description: Demicryptochironomus (Irmakia) oyabeprimus (Sasa, Kawai et Ueno) comb. n.
(Figs 25–27)
 Cryptotendipes oyabeprimus Sasa, Kawai et Ueno, 1988: 32; Sasa, Kitami and Suzuki (2002: 5); Yan et al. (2005: 27); Makarchenko et al. (2005: 409).
 Material examined. Holotype male (NSM No. 136: 55), JAPAN: Toyama Prefecture, Oyabe River, 19.viii.1987, sweep net.
 Diagnostic characters. The species can be distinguished from other species of the genus by the rod-like superior volsella lacking elongated projection or pits, anal point with pointed apex, and gonostylus curved in distal 1/3.
 Male ( Figs 25–27). As in Sasa et al. (1988: 32) with the following additions: Brachiolum with 3 setae, R with 23 setae, R 1 with 17 setae, R 4+5 with 23 setae. Midleg without sensilla chaetica. Tergite IX with 18 setae. Laterosternite IX with 7 setae. Phallapodeme 85 m long. Transverse sternapodeme 37 m long. Superior volsella swollen distally. Gonocoxite 100 m long, inner margin with 6 strong setae. Gonostylus 185 m long, curved in distal 1/3, inner margin with 12 setae. HR 0.54; HV 1.75.
 Remarks. Yan et al. (2005) suggested that the species should be placed in Demicryptochironomus based on the original description and figures. Re-examination of the holotype show that the species belong in the subgenus Irmakia, as it has Y-shaped anal tergite bands, a nearly parallel-sided gonostylus, rod-like superior volsella, and lacks inferior volsella. Cryptotendipes species have an inner expansion at the base of the gonostylus.
 Distribution. The species is recorded from Japan and the Russian Far East.

Multi-Segment Foot Coordination of the Treated Clubfoot
Creators: name: Whited, Amy
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2015

description: Idiopathic congenital clubfoot can be treated either operatively (comprehensive surgical release (CSR)) or conservatively (ponseti technique (PCT)). This thesis compared the mid-term outcomes after CSR and PCT treatments to a typically developing sample. A Dynamical Systems Analysis (DSA) approach and a multi-segment foot model were used to examine group differences in multi-segment foot and lower extremity kinematics, kinetics, coordination and coordination variability during walking. Ten children with clubfoot treated with PCT and seven children with clubfoot treated with CSR were evaluated retrospectively and compared to ten typically developing children. Multi-segment foot and lower extremity kinematic (240 Hz) and kinetic (1080 Hz) data were collected while participants walked barefoot at a fixed walking velocity (1.0 m/s-1 ±5%). Sagittal plane metatarsophalangeal (MTP) and three-dimensional (3D) forefoot-rearfoot, ankle, knee and hip joint range of motion (ROM) during stance and 3D ankle, knee and hip peak joint moments during push-off were calculated. A modified vector coding technique was used to quantify the multi-segment foot and lower extremity coordination and coordination variability throughout stance for forefoot-rearfoot inversion/eversion (Ff-Rf), rearfoot inversion/eversion–tibial internal/external rotation (Rf-Tib) and femur-tibia internal/external rotation (Fem-Tib) couples. Reduced MTP and forefoot-rearfoot ROM was observed in the CSR group while the PCT group demonstrated values comparable to CTR. Sagittal plane ankle ROM was similar between groups however, the CSR group demonstrated reduced frontal plane ROM compared to PCT. Peak ankle plantar flexion moment was reduced in the last 50% of stance in the clubfoot groups. The CSR group demonstrated greater knee and hip moments compared to CTR and PCT. The PCT group demonstrated lessor peak ankle eversion, knee external rotation and knee valgus moments compared to CTR. No significant differences were observed in Ff-Rf, Rf-Tib and Fem-Tib coordination and coordination variability throughout stance between the groups. PCT and CSR gait was characterized by restricted multi-segment foot motion and abnormal lower extremity joint moments; suggesting mild residual deformity. Despite residual deformity, the coordination and coordination variability results indicate that the PCT and CSR groups are not functionally limited and demonstrate similar multi-segment foot and lower extremity movement patterns as CTR.

description: The Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines (NR&M) is currently running the Vegetation Incentives Program (VIP), which pays landholders to protect and manage nonremnant vegetation on their properties. The program is using an auction mechanism to allocate the funding. Observing the VIP gives insight into participant behaviour and the impact of the policy formation process on auctions for conservation contracts. The program is particularly interesting as this is the first time this mechanism is being used in Australia to distribute funds on a state-wide level. A preliminary analysis has been undertaken and key lessons have been identified.

description: The paper provides an overview of the treatment of risk in economics as a way to connect the concept of risk, as used by economists, to the concern of other social science disciplines with how the parallel concepts of vulnerability and resilience affect rural and regional development. These latter two terms have become popular in the economic geography, rural sociology, disaster management and regional studies literature, but typically have not been considered in a formal way. The paper provides examples from three threads of economics literature – household studies of vulnerability, macroeconomic studies of vulnerability and growth, and the literature on small states, volatility and economic growth, to suggest how standard economic models of risk management can be applied to rural development problems in OECD countries. Applying these concepts may lead to some alternative conclusions about the desirability of common rural development strategies, such as, diversification forming clusters or expanding local supply chains.
Topological wormholes

description: Locality plays a fundamental role in quantum computation but also severely restricts our ability to store and process quantum information. We argue that this restriction may be unwarranted and re-examine quantum error correcting codes. We proceed to introduce new defects on the surface code called wormholes. These novel defects entangle two spatially separated sectors of the lattice. When anyonic excitations enter the mouth of a wormhole, they emerge through the other mouth. Wormholes thus serve to connect two spatially separated sectors of a flat, $2$D lattice. We show that these defects are capable of encoding logical qubits and can be used to perform all gates in the Clifford group.

description: The influence of a hypothetical CP violating $|ΔS|=2$ interaction on the time evolution of the $K^{0} - \bar{K^{0}}$ system is investigated. It is shown, that if we were to assume the existence of the superweak-like interaction then this would lead to the conclusion, that there might be observable effects in the masses of the neutral kaons. We address the possibility of experimental observation of these effects and perform a computer simulation of one of the parameters which describe such effects. Instead of the widely used Lee, Oehme and Yang approximation, which is not suitable to considering this kind of interaction we use a formalism based on the Krolikowski-Rzewuski equation.

description: Fostering higher levels of economic activity in rural regions constitutes an important policy challenge for most OECD countries. While some rural regions have higher than average growth rates, most grow at slower rates than the majority of urban regions. Because rural regions are structurally different from urban regions and face important distance and density challenges, the OECD has, over time, developed an approach to national rural policy that recognizes the distinctive features of rural areas. The specific policy approach has evolved in response to three main sets of forces. The first reflect the internal workings of the OECD, which dictate how policy problems are analyzed and establish the institutional framework. The second set reflects the changing interests of the member countries who provide funding in return for specific types of analysis preformed by the OECD Rural Programme. The third set can be thought of as forces of evolution. Over time, as the OECD conducted specific pieces of analysis on rural territories a learning process occurred. Each region provided new information, and the aggregated pieces of individual information provided an opportunity for broader syntheses. Because the work has extended over a long period of time and across multiple member countries, it provides a unique perspective on rural development in advanced economies. While the approach is not a theory of rural development, it does provide useful guidance for developing an implementing territory specific rural policy.
Indoor And Outdoor Real Time Information Collection in Disaster Scenario
Creators: name: Yang, Dongyi
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2015

description: A disaster usually severely harms human health and property. After a disaster, great amount of information of a disaster area is needed urgently. The information not only indicates the severity of the disaster, but also is crucial for an efficient search and rescue process. In order to quickly and accurately collect real time information in a disaster scenario, a mobile platform is developed for an outdoor scenario and a localization and navigation system for responders is introduced for an indoor scenario.
The mobile platform has been integrated to the DIORAMA system. It is built with a 6-wheel robot chassis along with an Arduino microcontroller. Controlled by a mounted Android smartphone, the mobile platform can receive commands from incident commanders and quickly respond to the commands. While patrolling in a disaster area, a constant RFID signal is collected to improve the localization accuracy of victims. Pictures and videos are also captured in order to enhance the situational awareness of rescuers.
The design of the indoor information collection is focused on the responder side. During a disaster scenario, it is hard to track responders’ locations in an indoor environment. In this thesis, an indoor localization and navigation system based on Bluetooth low energy and Android is developed for helping responders report current location and quickly find the right path in the environment. Different localization algorithms are investigated and implemented. A navigation system based on A­* is also proposed.

description: Domestic water consumers in many developing countries boil water before use, presumably concerned about quality control on the part of upstream water authorities. In this paper we investigate strategic incentives for food safety efforts by upstream food processors and downstream consumers. The strategic setting is where food processors move first and consumers react to perceptions about processor behavior. We consider two technological environments in which food safety is assured: i) weakest-link where both processor and consumer behavior must succeed; ii) best-shot where it suffices for efforts by either party to succeed. We study privately optimal behavior under negligence and strict liability rules, and also investigate the role of consumer risk aversion.

description: Most rural regions are weak participants in the modern economy. As a result they are often seen as inherently incapable of sustained economic growth. Yet, OECD evidence shows that there are rural regions with relatively high rates of economic growth. Increasing the number of high performance rural regions requires transforming rural economies so that they can take advantage of their underlying opportunities. Although the modern economy is largely held to be best suited to an urban environment it has important opportunities for rural regions if they can manage to take advantage of them. In particular, rural regions must increase productivity, not only because this is the main driver of economic growth, but because an imminent crisis in labor availability will lead to rural economic decline unless the remaining workers can become more efficient. While the necessary transformation should be mainly driven by local strategies, rural regions will require external funds and technical support from national governments to implement the modernization process.

description: Background: Preterm prelabor rupture of the fetal membranes (PPROM) increases the risk of neonatal mortality and morbidity. The etiology behind the condition is multifactorial but believed to result from an overactivation of inflammatory pathways. This systematic review aimed to synthesize the literature behind first-trimester biomarkers associated with PPROM and compare it to literature within the same area for preterm birth. Methods: A search strategy was performed in PubMed, Embase, and CINAHL from 1993 to 2024 resulting in 14,889 articles screened by two independent authors and presented according to PRISMA guidelines. The biomarkers from the included articles were categorized into four medical headings: The immune system, metabolism and endocrinology, hematology, and reproduction. Results: Biomarkers associated with PPROM were primarily related to the immune system. C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cells (WBC) were often investigated for an association with PPROM but displayed divergent results of varying quality. Decreased concentrations of placental growth factor (PlGF) were associated with PPROM and spontaneous preterm birth, potentially highlighting a shared etiology, making soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) interesting to investigate as well. Conclusion: Most biomarkers were examined in single studies, providing limited data to make significant conclusions about each biomarker. This review encourages further investigation of CRP, WBC, PlGF, and sFlt-1.
User Interface Design And Forensic Analysis For DIORAMA, Decision Support System For Mass Casualty Incidents

description: In this thesis we introduces the user interface design and forensic analysis tool for DIORAMA system. With an Android device, DIORAMA provides emergency personnel the ability to collect information in real time, track the resources and manage them. It allows the responders and commanders to mange multiple incidents simultaneously. This thesis also describes the implementations of commander app and responder app, as well as two different communication strategies used in DIORAMA. Several trials and simulated mass casualty incidents were conducted to test the functionalities and performance of DIORAMA system. All responders that participated in all trials were very satisfied with it. As a result, DIORAMA system significantly reduced the evacuation time by up to 43% when compared to paper based triage systems.

description: Plenty of quantum information protocols are enabled by manipulation and detection of photonic spectro-temporal degrees of freedom via light-matter interfaces. While present implementations are well suited for high-bandwidth photon sources such as quantum dots, they lack the high resolution required for intrinsically narrow-band light-atom interactions. Here, we demonstrate far-field temporal imaging based on ac-Stark spatial spin-wave phase manipulation in a multimode gradient echo memory. We achieve spectral resolution of 20 kHz with MHz-level bandwidth and ultra-low noise equivalent to 0.023 photons, enabling operation in the single-quantum regime.

description: A reformulation of site-occupation embedding theory (SOET) in terms of Green's functions is presented. Referred to as site-occupation--Green's function embedding theory (SOGET), this novel extension of density-functional theory for model Hamiltonians shares many features with dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) but is formally exact (in any dimension). In SOGET, the impurity-interacting correlation potential becomes a density-functional self-energy which is frequency-dependent and in principle non-local. A simple local density-functional approximation (LDA) combining the Bethe Ansatz (BA) LDA with the self-energy of the two-level Anderson model is constructed and successfully applied to the one-dimensional Hubbard model. Unlike in previous implementations of SOET, no many-body wavefunction is needed, thus reducing drastically the computational cost of the method.

description: Case studies play a wide and important role in education and also are  a valuable tool in learning medical English, as they provide deeper knowledge, including the analysis of specific situations and cases from real-life practice. In a medical context, this usually involves the description of clinical cases of patients, including symptoms, diagnosis, treatment methods, and outcomes. The main goal of the case method is to develop students’ critical thinking, worldview, analysis, problem-solving, and decision-making skills in situations close to real practice. In medical English, it also helps to learn professional vocabulary, improve communication skills with patients and colleagues, and learn how to write medical reports and case histories.

The Future Global Food Situation and Its Financial Implications for US Agriculture: Is This Time Different?

description: Farmland values have increased rapidly over the last decade in response to high incomes for crop farmers and inordinately low interest rates. Farmers have responded to these conditions by bidding up the price of good cropland. In addition, the long period of increasing land values, since the last farm financial crisis in the 1980s, has generated interest by outside investors who see farmland as a safe haven that offers a relatively high annual rate of appreciation. The result is a period of high demand for an essentially fixed supply. The last time this situation occurred was in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and it was followed by a major downward revaluation of farmland values when interest rates spiked and demand stagnated. The paper suggests that a repeat of these events is likely this time as well. Even though farmers do not appear vulnerable to a “balance sheet crisis” as they were in the 1980s, the history of American agriculture is cycles of boom and bust. In addition, there is some reason to believe that changes in the drivers of production , specifically the importance of proprietary seed and pesticide technologies are shifting economic rents away from landowners toward input suppliers.

Two distinct ground states of MMX chains are reproduced and the soliton excitations on them are compared. In the weak-coupling region, all the solitons are degenerate to each other and are uniquely scaled by the band gap, whereas in the strong-coupling region, they behave differently deviating from the scenario in the continuum limit. The soliton masses are calculated and compared with those for conventional mononuclear MX chains.

description: We investigate the optical properties of the solar gravitational lens (SGL) with respect to an extended source located at a large but finite distance from the Sun. The static, spherically symmetric gravitational field of the Sun is modeled within the first post-Newtonian approximation of the general theory of relativity. We consider the propagation of monochromatic electromagnetic (EM) waves near the Sun. We develop, based on a Mie theory, a vector theory of diffraction that accounts for the refractive properties of the solar gravitational field. The finite distance to a point source can be accounted for using a rotation of the coordinate system to align its polar axis with the axis directed from the point source to the center of the Sun, which we call the optical axis. We determine the EM field and study the key optical properties of the SGL in all four regions formed behind the Sun by an EM wave diffracted by the solar gravity field: the shadow, geometric optics, and weak and strong interference regions. Extended sources can then be represented as collections of point sources. We present the power density of the signal received by a telescope in the image plane. Our discussion concludes with considering the implications for imaging with the SGL.

description: Preterm prelabor rupture of the fetal membranes (PPROM) increases the risk of neonatal mortality and morbidity. The etiology behind the condition is multifactorial but believed to result from an overactivation of inflammatory pathways. This systematic review aimed to synthesize the literature behind first-trimester biomarkers associated with PPROM and compare it to literature within the same area for preterm birth. A search strategy was performed in PubMed, Embase, and CINAHL from 1993-2024 resulting in 14,889 articles screened by two independent authors and presented according to PRISMA guidelines. The biomarkers from the included articles were categorized into four medical headings: The immune system, metabolism and endocrinology, hematology, and reproduction. Biomarkers associated with PPROM were primarily related to the immune system. C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cells (WBC) were often investigated for an association with PPROM but displayed divergent results of varying quality. Decreased concentrations of placental growth factor (PlGF) were associated with PPROM and spontaneous preterm birth, potentially highlighting a shared etiology, making soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) interesting to investigate as well. Most biomarkers were examined in single studies, providing limited data to make significant conclusions about each biomarker. This review encourages further investigation of CRP, WBC, PlGF, and sFlt-1.
Measurement and Verification - Retro-Commissioning of a LEED Gold Rated Building Through Means of an Energy Model: Are Aggressive Energy Simulation Models Reliable?
Creators: name: Marmaras, Justin M
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2014

description: During the construction of the new 3 story, 25,000+ square foot police station, a decision was made to participate in the LEED program to ensure the building had low operating costs, reduced emissions, conserved water and overall energy. The design of the building includes a primary-secondary ground source heat pump (GSHP) loop, a Dedicated Outside Air System (DOAS) with Energy Recovery Ventilation (ERV) wheel, all controlled by CO2 monitoring through Demand Control Ventilation (DCV) to supply heat pumps located in each space; all monitored by a Building Automation System (BAS).
The building’s future energy performance was predicted through an energy simulation model (ESM) software. Measurement and verification (M&V) was then performed on the building to determine its actual energy performance. Data was collected through the building’s electrical meters, the building automation system (BAS), and other techniques to determine discrepancies. Installed electrical submetering along with ESM results helped identify faults on a subcomponent level. This bottom up approach helped drive a successful retro-commissioning of the building systems reducing energy consumption.
This thesis will detail a methodology for retro-commissioning of underperforming new-construction buildings. Optimization of the building’s systems will be facilitated through utilization of the M&V and ESM data. Discussed will be techniques and strategies to benchmark the building’s systems, providing utility from the retro-commissioning and M&V results, to determine the value of the ESM. Last will be to discuss and demonstrate the future benefits of utilizing this real-time data to help building operators reduce, manage, and sustain their energy consumption profiles.

description: In this paper first we study Brans-Dicke equations with the cosmological constant to find an exact solution in the spatially flat Robertson-Walker metric. Then we use Observational Hubble data, the baryon acoustic oscillation distance ratio data as well as cosmic microwave background data from Planck to constrain parameters of the obtained Brans-Dicke model. To compare our results and find out the amount of deviation from general relativity, we also constrain concordance cosmological model using the same data. In our theoretical model the Brans-Dicke coupling constant is replaced by a , say new, parameter namely \textgravedbl scalar field density $Ω_ϕ$\textacutedbl. Therefore, as $Ω_ϕ\to 0$ which is equivalent to $ω\to \infty$ general relativity is recovered. In general, we found no significant deviation from general relativity. Our estimations show $Ω_ϕ=0.010^{+0.021}_{-0.012}$ which is equivalent to $ω>1560$ at $95\%$ confidence level. We also obtained constraint the rate of change of gravitational constant, $\dot{G}/G$, at present time as $1.150\times 10^{-13}yr^{-1}

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Classically scale-invariant models are attractive not only because they may offer a solution to the long-standing gauge hierarchy problem, but also due to their role in facilitating strongly supercooled cosmic phase transitions. In this paper, we investigate the interplay between these two aspects. We do so in the context of the electroweak phase transition (EWPT) in the minimal scale-invariant theory. We find that the amount of supercooling generally decreases for increasing scalar couplings. However, the stabilization of the electroweak scale against the Planck scale requires the absence of Landau poles in the respective energy range. Scalar couplings at the TeV scale can therefore not become larger than $\mathcal{O}(10^{-1})$. As a consequence, all fully consistent parameter points predict the EWPT not to complete before the QCD transition, which then eventually triggers the generation of the electroweak scale. We also discuss the potential of the model to give rise to an observable gravitational wave signature, as well as the possibility to accommodate a dark matter candidate.

Modifying Instruction Sets In The Gem5 Simulator To Support Fault Tolerant Designs
Creators: name: Zhang, Chuan
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2015

description: Traditional fault tolerant techniques such as hardware or time redundancy incur high overhead and are inefficient for checking arithmetic operations. Our objective is to study an alternative approach of adding new instructions to check arithmetic operations. These checking instructions either rely on error detecting code or calculate approximate results and consequently, consume much less execution time. To evaluate the effectiveness of such an approach we wish to modify several benchmarks to use checking instructions and run simulation experiments to find out their execution time and memory usage. However, the checking instructions are not included in the instruction set and as a result, are not supported by current architecture simulators. Therefore, another objective of this thesis is to develop a method for inserting new instructions in the Gem5 simulator and cross compiler. The insertion process is integrated into a software tool called Gtool. Gtool can add an error checking capability to C programs by using the new instructions.
Trade Hallucination: Risks of Trade Facilitation and Suggestions for Implementation

description: Official estimates tend to overstate the benefits of trade facilitation and ignore its costs. When all underlying assumptions are brought to light, expecting large gains appears unreasonable. At the same time, estimated employment benefits may easily turn into net losses. With fundamental uncertainty surrounding its effects, implementing trade facilitation without enhancing systems of social protection would be ill advised. Indeed, the net effect of trade facilitation may depend on the social policies it is complemented with. While trade facilitation may bring extra business to import-export firms, it is not a feasible or sustainable growth strategy for all countries and it cannot be expected to deliver growth to the global economy.
