description: Development and humanitarian agencies have rapidly embraced the concept of resilience since the 2008 global financial and food price crises. We report the results of a formal scoping review of the literature on development resilience over the ensuing period. The review identifies the theoretical and methodological underpinnings and empirical applications of resilience as the concept has been applied to individual or household well-being in low-and middle-income countries. From 9,558 search records spanning 2008-20, 301 studies met our pre-registered inclusion criteria. Among these, we identify three broad conceptualizations employed – resilience as capacity, as a normative condition, or as return to equilibrium – and explain how the resulting variation in framing leads to marked differences in empirical methods and findings. We study in greater depth a set of 45 studies that met five key criteria for empirical studies of resilience. The larger, more established, qualitative empirical literature yields insights suggestive that the concept of resilience can add value. The quantitative literature is thinner and divided among methods that limit cross-study comparability of findings. Overall, we find that development resilience remains inconsistently theorized and reliant on methods that have not been adequately reconciled to identify which tools are best suited to which questions. Despite much published evidence, most findings concentrate on just a few countries and natural shocks, and rely on cross-sectional data at just one scale of analysis. The result is a dearth of generalizable evidence, especially of rigorous impact evaluations, to guide whether or how agencies might build resilience among target populations.

description: In cores of supernovae and crusts of neutron stars, nuclei can adopt interesting shapes, such as rods or slabs, etc., which are referred to as nuclear "pasta." Recently, we have been studying the pasta phases focusing on their dynamical aspects with quantum molecular dynamic (QMD) approach. We review our findings on the following topics: dynamical formation of the pasta phases by cooling down the hot uniform nuclear matter; a phase diagram on the density versus temperature plane; structural transitions between the pasta phases induced by compression and their mechanism. Properties of the nuclear interaction used in our works are also discussed.

description: The objective of this paper is the measurement and decomposition of the overall efficiency of sheep farming in mountainous areas of Greece. To this end, both a Constant Returns to Scale (CRS) and a Variable Returns to Scale (VRS) DEA model has been applied to a sample to 101 farms located in the mountainous areas of Epirus, Sterea, and Thessaly. The empirical results suggest: a) the average overall efficiency ratio in the sample is about 80 percent; b) the pure technical and the scale efficiency are of almost equal importance in the determination of the overall efficiency. Therefore, CRS DEA models will tend to underestimate systematically the level of pure technical efficiency; c) there are differences in the overall efficiency ratios across the three regions stemming mainly from differences in pure technical efficiency.
Into the fire : using therapeutic enactment to address early traumatic memories of childhood sexual abuse
Creators: name: Hirakata, Pam
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: While traditional forms of therapy focus heavily on a survivor's ability to tell his or her story, the very nature of traumatic memory can present a challenge since survivors of trauma often struggle to find the verbal language to describe the terrifying events that have occurred. Survivors of childhood sexual abuse can be left in a state of re-experiencing the past as they face the overwhelming task of trying to find words for something that is often wordless. Researchers have identified the need for a "bridge" between the non-verbal and the verbal however, studies in this area are lacking. The purpose of this research is to examine the lived experience of using therapeutic enactment as a supplementary tool to address the fragmented and wordless memories of childhood sexual abuse. Through an ethnographic research design, four women have participated in this study. These women share with us their stories and take us on a journey through their experience of using therapeutic enactment to address memories of their abuse. From these stories, four dominant themes emerged. These themes - re-connection, voice, empowerment, and corrective re-experiencing - appear in varying degrees and indicate an overall positive and reparative experience.

description: We study the motion of electrically charged particles, magnetic monopoles, and magnetic dipoles around electrically and magnetically charged stringy black holes. From the analysis of the radius of the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) of electrically charged particles, we show that the electric charge $Q$ of stringy black holes can mimic well the spin of Kerr black holes; the black hole magnetic charge $Q_m$ can mimic spins up to $a_* \simeq 0.85$ for magnetic dipoles; the magnetic charge parameter $g$ of a magnetic monopole can mimic spins up to $a_* \simeq 0.8$. This is due to the destructive character of the magnetic field and such a result excludes the existence of an appreciable black hole magnetic charge in astrophysical black holes from the observation of rapidly rotating objects with dimensionless spin up to $a_* \simeq 0.99$. We then consider the magnetar SGR (PSR) J1745-2900 as a magnetic dipole orbiting the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). We show that Sgr A* may be interpreted as a stringy black hole with magnetic charge $Q_{\rm m}/M \leq 0.4118$.

description: This paper is an attempt to measure the annual income assistance to olive oil producers in Greece for the period 1988 - 1998. The well-known PSE/CSE method was used in the percentage form. Also, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the olive oil support policy was made. The main conclusions are that 1) The level of producer's income support is significant, 2) the policy for olive oil is efficient and meets its aims, 3) this policy is very costly for the taxpayers. With reference to policy implications, a change in the system of support to that of a new one in which the effectiveness in delivering additional income to producers is higher.

description: Analysis of demand for pansies and mums sold in independent garden centers indicates that price and age are important factors influencing demand. In the fall of 1996, data were collected from a survey of independent garden centers in North Carolina. Statistical analysis was conducted by estimating the relationship between consumer expenditure shares of pansies and mums and prices paid per plants, household income, and various demographic and product characteristic variables. The models were estimated by the least-squares method with correction for selectivity bias, resulting from zero purchases. Own-price elasticities of demand for pansies and mums of -0.80 and -0.76, respectively, were estimated. The results also indicate that older customers who live in attached housing (for pansies) and who are renters (for mums) are important determinants of demand.

description: In the modern era of abundant X-ray detections and the increasing momentum of gravitational waves astronomy, tests of General Relativity in strong field regime become increasingly feasible and their importance for probing gravity cannot be understated. To this end, we study the characteristics of slowly rotating topological neutron stars in the tensor-multi-scalar theories of gravity following the static study of this new type of compact objects by two of the authors. We explore the moment of inertia and verify that universal relations known from General Relativity hold for this new class of compact objects. Furthermore, we study the properties of their innermost stable circular orbits (ISCO) and the epicyclic frequencies due to the latter's hinted link to observational quantities such as quasi-periodic X-ray spectrum features.

description: The traditional approach to mobile phone positioning is based on the assumption that the geographical location of a cell tower recorded in a call details record (CDR) is a proxy for a device's location. A Voronoi tessellation is then constructed based on the entire network of cell towers and this tessellation is considered as a coordinate system, with the device located in a Voronoi polygon of a cell tower that is recorded in the CDR. If Voronoi-based positioning is correct, the uniqueness of the device trajectory is very high, and the device can be identified based on 3-4 of its recorded locations. We propose and investigate a probabilistic approach to device positioning that is based on knowledge of each antennas' parameters and number of connections, as dependent on the distance to the antenna. The critical difference between the Voronoi-based and the real world layout is in the essential overlap of the antennas' service areas: the device that is located in a cell tower's polygon can be served by a more distant antenna that is chosen by the network system to balance the network load. This overlap is too significant to be ignored. Combining data on the distance distribution of the number of connections available for each antenna in the network, we succeed in resolving the overlap problem by applying Bayesian inference and construct a realistic distribution of the device location. Probabilistic device positioning demands a full revision of mobile phone data analysis, which we discuss with a focus on privacy risk estimates.

description: A sudden release of high energy cosmic rays at the centre of a wind sustaining a spiral magnetic field produces cavities of low density and low magnetic field along the axis. The trajectories of high energy cosmic rays are focussed onto the axis, and lower energy cosmic rays and thermal plasma can escape through the cavities. This may explain the jets often seen in accretion systems and elsewhere.

description: The hypothesis of structural change in Greek meat demand was tested in a four meat dynamic almost ideal demand system. A gradual structural change was found. The estimated path of structural change implies a gradual transition to a new regime in the beginning of the decade of 80's. The structural change is biased towards pork and chicken and against beef and lamb & mutton and it does not affect the estimated elasticities concerning their elastic/inelastic nature but only the magnitude.

description: The paper presents findings of a field study undertaken in May 1999 in the Greek Crete Island of Greece Crete. The objectives of the study were to explore how agricultural activities and the livelihood systems of small farmers have been were modified in the face of major changes brought about by with the growing importance development of tourism and the implementation of the Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union. The study also assessed farmers' views on and experience with, organic farming as a potentially viable alternative livelihood strategy. The study used participatory research methods tools in order to investigate changes in livelihood systems, farmers' views on organic farming and to study the impact of the institutions that related to agriculture. In the study area, it was learned that agriculture was becoming increasingly a part-time occupation as farmers endeavoured to diversify their livelihood systems through increased engagement in the service sector, particularly during the tourist season. The extended family links were being used to diversify and modify agricultural activities to fit with the activities in the service sector. By this means, farmers were able to inter linking agriculture to the service sector farmers diversify their livelihood systems and add value to their products. Though both conventional and organic farmers agreed on the major problem that they faced, they differed widely in their perceptions about organic farming as a viable future option. It was also learnt that there existed gaps among institutions interested in agriculture in the study area. It is suggested that further open and interactive studies are necessary to fill in such gaps and to better help farmers more effectively, particularly in addressing marketing problems, and to examine the potential future for organic farming.
Discovering Gravitational Lenses Through Measurements Of Their Time Delays

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We consider the possibility that future wide-field time-domain optical imaging surveys may be able to discover gravitationally lensed quasar pairs through serendipitous measurements of their time delays. We discuss the merits such a discovery technique would have relative to conventional lens searches. Using simulated quasar lightcurves, we demonstrate that in a survey which observes objects several times each lunar cycle over the course of five years, it is possible to improve the efficiency of a gravitational lens search by 2-3 orders of magnitude through the use of time delay selection. In the most advantageous scenario considered, we are able to improve efficiency by a factor of 1000 with no loss of completeness. In the least advantageous scenario, we are able to improve efficiency by a factor of 110 while reducing completeness by a factor of 9. We show that window function effects associated with the length of the observing season are more important than the total number of datapoints in determining the effectiveness of this method. We also qualitatively discuss several complications which might be relevant to a real time delay search.

description: Fluorescent nanodiamonds containing negatively-charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV$^-$) centers are promising for a wide range of applications, such as for sensing, as fluorescence biomarkers, or to hyperpolarize nuclear spins. NV$^-$ centers are formed from substitutional nitrogen (P1 centers) defects and vacancies in the diamond lattice. Maximizing the concentration of NVs is most beneficial, which justifies the search for methods with a high yield of conversion from P1 to NV$^-$. We report here the characterization of surface cleaned fluorescent micro- and nanodiamonds, obtained by irradiation of commercial diamond powder with high-energy (10 MeV) electrons and simultaneous annealing at 800°C. Using this technique and increasing the irradiation dose, we demonstrate the creation of NV$^-$ with up to 25 % conversion yield. Finally, we monitor the creation of irradiation-induced spin-1 defects in microdiamond particles, which we associate with W16 and W33 centers, and investigate the effects of irradiation dose and particle size on the coherence time of NV$^-$.

description: The investigation of phytoprotective properties of humus acids is of interest nowadays due to the growth of anthropogenic soil salinity. The influence of peat humus acids preparation on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) tolerance to chloridic salinity was studied under vegetational experiment in aquatic culture. The plants were grown on Hoaglond nutrient mixture, the experimental variant of solution being enriched by NaCl in 25, 50, and 100 mmol/l concentrations as well as by humus acids preparation (0.005%) in accordance with the experiment scheme. Under mild salinity - 25 and 50 mmol/l -the protecting function of humus acids was shown to act with Na content increase, while under 100 mmol/l the protecting role of humus acids is caused by the decrease of sodium ions contents in plants shoots. Sodium ions accumulation in plants shoots in the presense humus acids under mild salinity (25 and 50 mmol/l of NaCl) can be used in phytoremediation.

Correlated Fluctuations in Luminosity Distance and the (Surprising) Importance of Peculiar Motion in Supernova Surveys
Creators: name: Hui, Lam
name: Greene, Patrick B.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Large scale structure introduces two different kinds of errors in the luminosity distance estimates from standardizable candles such as supernovae Ia (SNe) - a Poissonian scatter for each SN and a coherent component due to correlated fluctuations between different SNe. Increasing the number of SNe helps reduce the first type of error but not the second. The coherent component has been largely ignored in forecasts of dark energy parameter estimation from upcoming SN surveys. For instance it is commonly thought, based on Poissonian considerations, that peculiar motion is unimportant, even for a low redshift SN survey such as the Nearby Supernova Factory (SNfactory; z = 0.03 - 0.08), which provides a useful anchor for future high redshift surveys by determining the SN zero-point. We show that ignoring coherent peculiar motion leads to an underestimate of the zero-point error by about a factor of 2, despite the fact that SNfactory covers almost half of the sky. More generally, there are four types of fluctuations: peculiar motion, gravitational lensing, gravitational redshift and what is akin to the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect. Peculiar motion and lensing dominates at low and high redshifts respectively. Taking into account all significant luminosity distance fluctuations due to large scale structure leads to a degradation of up to 60% in the determination of the dark energy equation of state from upcoming high redshift SN surveys, when used in conjunction with a low redshift anchor such as the SNfactory. The most relevant fluctuations are the coherent ones due to peculiar motion and the Poissonian ones due to lensing, with peculiar motion playing the dominant role. We also discuss to what extent the noise here can be viewed as a useful signal, and whether corrections can be made to reduce the degradation.

Depending on the degree of dilution of the phytohormonal extracts, the total weight of tomatoes collected from the treated plants was on 11.3–145.0% higher than in the control variant. As for the peppers, the total weight of the fruits from treated plants exceeded control by 11.6–77.1%. The positive influence of extracellular exometabolites of surfactants producers on the yields of tomatoes and peppers is the basis for the development of the technology of obtaining microbial preparations for application in crop production using cheap industrial wastes.

description: The purpose of this paper is to investigate and measure the proportion of changes in wholesale prices transferred to consumer prices in the economy of Greece. The data used in the investigation are monthly, covering the period from 1973:1 to 2000:11, and refer to consumer price indexes and finished products wholesale price indexes. Cointegration methods are used in order to investigate the cost transfer from wholesale prices to consumer prices, or in other words to test the existence or not of a long-term equilibrium relationship between the two prices. The paper concludes that long-term relationships exist between the two prices and thus, error correction models (ECM) are developed and estimated using the Seemingly Unrelated Regression Estimation (SURE) method. Multipliers, estimated using dynamic simulation of the ECM group of equations, indicate the sensitivity of consumer prices to changes in wholesale prices.

description: We study the electromagnetic field equation along with the WKB approximation. The boson tunneling phenomenon from charged rotating black ring(CRBR) is analyzed. It is examined that reserve radiation consistent with CRBR can be computed in general by neglecting back reaction and self-gravitational of the radiated boson particle. The calculated temperature depends upon quantum gravity and CRBR geometry. We also examine the corrected tunneling rate/probability of boson particles by assuming charge as well as energy conservation laws and the quantum gravity. Furthermore, we study the graphical behavior of the temperature and check the stability and instability of CRBR.

description: The effective potential between charged colloids trapped at water interfaces is analyzed. It consists of a repulsive electrostatic and an attractive capillary part which asymptotically both show dipole--like behavior. For sufficiently large colloid charges, the capillary attraction dominates at large separations. The total effective potential exhibits a minimum at intermediate separations if the Debye screening length of water and the colloid radius are of comparable size.

description: Complexity and content of the stressful workplace, and the goals or expectations of the worker were revealed through a micro-analytic, subjective, and contextual research approach. A content analysis, based on the transactional theory of stress (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984) was used to analyse 1044 stress events produced by 50 female clerical workers. These women recorded at least 15 responses to a bi-daily open-ended question, which was a part of a 15-day daily diary study (Long, n.d). The descriptive complexity of the stressful work events revealed that generally two salient personal or environmental elements were present during or contributing to the stress events. These elements were descriptively organised as either concurrent or hierarchical. The content analysis identified 2043 of these salient elements for the group, which were divided into 88 higher-order codes and, which, in turn, were clustered into seven categories: work-related, interpersonal, expectations of task and performance, technical, changes in environment, changes related to time, and personal discomfort. Elements, codes, and categories each varied in terms of their frequencies between and within the clerical workers' experiences. The personal goals or expectations of (a) competence and capability, (b) social, physical, and psychological well-being, and (c) predictability and stability were identified from the work-related, technical, expectations of task and performance categories, the interpersonal and personal discomfort categories, and the changes in environment and changes related to time categories, respectively. In conclusion, stress occurs when these goals or expectations become harmed/lost threatened, or challenged by combinations of the stressful elements and limitations created by the clerical worker's socioeconomic status in the workplace. Stress for the group of clerical workers in the present study is cast not as deficit or dysfunction, but as striving to achieve and to protect goals or expectations in an environment that favours the goals or expectations of the organization or boss. Implications for research and counseling are discussed.

Open Repositories 2024 (OR2024)

description: In January 2023, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) of the United States started requiring most of the 300,000 researchers and 2,500 institutions it funds annually to include a data management and sharing plan and to make research data publicly available. Towards this end, the NIH launched the Generalist Repository Ecosystem Initiative (GREI) with seven generalist repositories working together to support NIH data sharing and discovery through consistent metadata, common metrics, and training on using these repositories. During this presentation, our speakers will discuss:The GREI program, its mission, and goals

What the GREI coopetition has accomplished to date and incorporated to support research transparency and how communities worldwide can benefit from these developments and models.How "co-opetition" amongst repositories is creating a model of data transparency, community, and sustainability others can implement.How researchers around the world can benefit from the program.

description: The research was conducted in the conditions of the South-East of the of the Central-Chernozem zone (Kamennaya Steppe) in 2018-2020 biennium. Features of formation of reserves of productive moisture in agroforestry complex are shown. Data for studying changes in soil moisture profile are presented. The first decade of the current century was characterized by a widespread rise in the ground water level (GWL) to 1.2-2 m and the formation of seasonally waterlogged soils. In the dry conditions of 2010, the most critical conditions developed. The entire 200-cm layer of soil in the summer was characterized by a complete lack of available moisture. In the following years, up to 2020, at all research sites, the GWL fluctuates in the range of 3-4 m.

description: In this paper, we investigate the economic mobility in some money transfer models which have been applied into the research on wealth distribution. We demonstrate the mobility by recording the time series of agents' ranks and observing their volatility. We also compare the mobility quantitatively by employing an index, "the per capita aggregate change in log-income", raised by economists. Like the shape of distribution, the character of mobility is also decided by the trading rule in these transfer models. It is worth noting that even though different models have the same type of distribution, their mobility characters may be quite different.

description: Estimation of the soil organic carbon content is of utmost importance in understanding the chemical, physical, and biological functions of the soil. This study proposes machine learning algorithms of support vector machines, artificial neural networks, regression tree, random forest, extreme gradient boosting, and conventional deep neural network for advancing prediction models of SOC. Models are trained with 1879 composite surface soil samples, and 105 auxiliary data as predictors. The genetic algorithm is used as a feature selection approach to identify effective variables. The results indicate that precipitation is the most important predictor driving 15 percent of SOC spatial variability followed by the normalized difference vegetation index, day temperature index of moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer, multiresolution valley bottom flatness and land use, respectively. Based on 10 fold cross validation, the DNN model reported as a superior algorithm with the lowest prediction error and uncertainty. In terms of accuracy, DNN yielded a mean absolute error of 59 percent, a root mean squared error of 75 percent, a coefficient of determination of 0.65, and Lins concordance correlation coefficient of 0.83. The SOC content was the highest in udic soil moisture regime class with mean values of 4 percent, followed by the aquic and xeric classes, respectively. Soils in dense forestlands had the highest SOC contents, whereas soils of younger geological age and alluvial fans had lower SOC. The proposed DNN is a promising algorithm for handling large numbers of auxiliary data at a province scale, and due to its flexible structure and the ability to extract more information from the auxiliary data surrounding the sampled observations, it had high accuracy for the prediction of the SOC baseline map and minimal uncertainty.

Multi-Instantons and Exact Results I: Conjectures, WKB Expansions, and Instanton Interactions

description: We consider specific quantum mechanical model problems for which perturbation theory fails to explain physical properties like the eigenvalue spectrum even qualitatively, even if the asymptotic perturbation series is augmented by resummation prescriptions to "cure" the divergence in large orders of perturbation theory. Generalizations of perturbation theory are necessary which include instanton configurations, characterized by nonanalytic factors exp(-a/g) where a is a constant and g is the coupling. In the case of one-dimensional quantum mechanical potentials with two or more degenerate minima, the energy levels may be represented as an infinite sum of terms each of which involves a certain power of a nonanalytic factor and represents itself an infinite divergent series. We attempt to provide a unified representation of related derivations previously found scattered in the literature. For the considered quantum mechanical problems, we discuss the derivation of the instanton contributions from a semi-classical calculation of the corresponding partition function in the path integral formalism. We also explain the relation with the corresponding WKB expansion of the solutions of the Schroedinger equation, or alternatively of the Fredholm determinant det(H-E) (and some explicit calculations that verify this correspondence). We finally recall how these conjectures naturally emerge from a leading-order summation of multi-instanton contributions to the path integral representation of the partition function. The same strategy could result in new conjectures for problems where our present understanding is more limited.
