description: This paper discusses the challenges and opportunities faced by small farmers in Asia and the Pacific region in raising agricultural productivity and in diversifying into high-value commodities. About 87 percent of the world’s 500 million small farms (less than 2 hectares) are in this region, with China and India accounting for 193 million and 93 million of these, respectively. Small farms significantly contribute to agricultural production, food security, rural poverty reduction, and biodiversity conservation, despite their constraints with respect to access to productive resources and service delivery. More new challenges confront them: integration into high-value chains, adaptation to climate change, market volatility, and other risks and vulnerability. The small farms can benefit from high-value chains if they can receive support through intermediation (e.g., public-private cooperation to ensure food safety standards) and internalization (e.g., through producers’ association to meet quality standards). New investment opportunities have emerged in agriculture, leading to large-scale investments and competition for land. Although new economies of scale (e.g., in external financing) have emerged, smallholders can enhance their competitiveness only if the biases against them (e.g., in credit) are eliminated. Governments must play an active role in coordinating the delivery of inputs, technical services, and output marketing services to small farms. They must also provide incentives to the private sector to innovate. Support is also needed to enable smallholders to adapt to climate change and market volatility.

description: $F-$Lie algebras are natural generalisations of Lie algebras (F=1) and Lie superalgebras (F=2). When $F>2$ not many finite-dimensional examples are known. In this paper we construct finite-dimensional $F-$Lie algebras $F>2$ by an inductive process starting from Lie algebras and Lie superalgebras. Matrix realisations of $F-$Lie algebras constructed in this way from $\mathfrak{su}(n), \mathfrak{sp}(2n)$ $\mathfrak{so}(n)$ and $\mathfrak{sl}(n|m)$, $\mathfrak{osp}(2|m)$ are given. We obtain non-trivial extensions of the Poincaré algebra by Inönü-Wigner contraction of certain $F-$Lie algebras with $F>2$.

description: We study the quantum moduli spaces and dynamical superpotentials of four dimensional $SU(2)^r$ linear and ring moose theories with $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetry and link chiral superfields in the fundamental representation. Nontrivial quantum moduli spaces and dynamical superpotentials are produced. When the moduli space is perturbed by generic tree level superpotentials, the vacuum space becomes discrete. The ring moose is in the Coulomb phase and we find two singular submanifolds with a nontrivial modulus that is a function of all the independent gauge invariants needed to parameterize the quantum moduli space. The massive theory near these singularities confines. The Seiberg-Witten elliptic curve that describes the quantum moduli space of the ring moose is produced.

description: The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of participation in NCAA Division 1 (D1) intercollegiate athletics on the academic or social experiences of Latino male student-athletes. Latino males are a fast-growing population within NCAA D1 athletics and thus merit exploring their experiences. Semi-structured, one-on-one virtual interviews were used to explore experiences, develop themes, and identify future interventions. Seven currently active Latino male student athletes across three sports from a D1 NCAA member institution were recruited as participants. Open-ended questions were developed before interviewing the seven athletes and subsequently used to generate explanations and provide a framework for continued research in this novel area. Sentiment was also used to analyze findings and generate results. Four themes emerged out of the data: (a) Latino, (b) higher education, (c) academic, and (d) athlete. Results indicate the experience of the Latino male student-athlete includes various strengths and challenges that may ultimately contribute to their persistence towards degree completion or lack thereof. This study concludes Latino male student-athletes could benefit from institutions that endorse the Latino culture and the characteristics that come with this population. Results also suggest cultivating relationships between Latino male student-athletes and university personnel, such as counselors and professors, may assist in improving persistence in higher education.
Infrared and Ultraviolet Power Counting on the Mass Shell in Quantum Electrodynamics

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: A power counting rule is provided that allows us to obtain upper bounds for the absolute values of Feynman parametric integrands. The rule reflects both the ultraviolet and infrared behavior taking into account that the external momenta are on the mass shell. It gives us the ability to rigorously prove the absolute convergence of the corresponding integrals. The consideration is limited to the case of the quantum electrodynamics Feynman graphs contributing to the lepton magnetic moments and not containing either lepton loops or ultraviolet divergent subgraphs. However, a rigorous mathematical proof is given for all Feynman graphs satisfying these restrictions. The power counting rule is formulated in terms of Hepp's sectors, ultraviolet degrees of divergence and so-called I-closures. The obtained upper bound can not be substantially improved: the illustrative example is provided. The paper provides the first mathematically rigorous treatment of the ultraviolet behavior together with the on-shell infrared behavior with some kind of generality. Practical applications of this rule are explained.

description: Mediation is an increasingly important part of legal practice with the institutionalisation of alternative or appropriate dispute resolution in our legal system. Mediation has been embraced by courts and may be part of pre-action requirements in some jurisdictions. How lawyers can best contribute to mediation has been discussed in the literature and is informed by ethical requirements. This article provides insights into the role of lawyers in mediation using interviews with sixteen mediators at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal of Victoria. It explores collaborative approaches that lawyers can adopt within the spectrum of roles that lawyers may take when representing a client in mediation developed by Olivia Rundle

description: This paper studies the effect of SNAP benefits on Food Away From Home (FAFH) expenditure. The study contributes to a sparse amount of literature that examines where SNAP recipients spend their benefits. A causal link has been shown to exist in recent literature between FAFH and obesity which makes this paper timely and relevant. This study makes a theoretical contribution to SNAP-related literature by incorporating household food security status as a determinant of consumption decisions. Empirical estimation is conducted by comparing the consumption patterns of SNAP participants relative to SNAP-eligible non-participants. The results show that SNAP participation significantly decreases FAFH consumption and that this effect is substantially different for households of different food security levels.

description: We construct a twisted version of the genus one universal Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov-Bernard (KZB) connection introduced by Calaque-Enriquez-Etingof, that we call the ellipsitomic KZB connection. This is a flat connection on a principal bundle over the moduli space of $Γ$-structured elliptic curves with marked points, where $Γ=\mathbb{Z}/M\mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z}$, and $M,N\geq1$ are two integers. It restricts to a flat connection on $Γ$-twisted configuration spaces of points on elliptic curves, which can be used to construct a filtered-formality isomorphism for some interesting subgroups of the pure braid group on the torus. We show that the universal ellipsitomic KZB connection realizes as the usual KZB connection associated with elliptic dynamical $r$-matrices with spectral parameter, and finally, also produces representations of cyclotomic Cherednik algebras.

description: 1RXS J180408.9--342058 is a low mass X-ray binary hosting a neutron star, which shows X-ray activity at very different mass-accretion regimes, from very faint to almost the Eddington luminosity. In this work, we present a comprehensive X-ray study of this source using data from the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, NuSTAR and INTEGRAL/JEM-X. In order to follow the spectral evolution, we analysed the 2015 outburst using Swift data and three Nustar observations. Besides the canonical hard and soft spectral states, we identified the rarely observed intermediate state. This was witnessed by the appeareance of the accretion disk emission in the spectrum (at $kT_{\rm disk}$ $\sim$0.7 keV) and the simultaneous cooling of the hot corona. In addition, we also unveiled a hard tail above 30 keV in this state. In the hard state, a thermal Comptonization model with two seed photons populations ($kT_{\rm s,1}\sim 1.5$ keV and $kT_{\rm s,2}\sim 0.4$ keV, respectively) and a hot Comptonising plasma, represents the physically best motivated scenario to describe the data. We also estimated a reflection fraction below 20% in all states, while no constraints on the inclination and only lower limits on the inner disk radius could be inferred. Finally, we studied a number of type-I X-ray bursts displayed from the source, one of them at the Eddington limit (observed with JEM-X). Their characteristics, combined with the clocked behaviour observed during the intermediate state, point out H/He composition for the accreted material, which makes unlikely the helium dwarf nature for the companion.

A World of Difference: The Budapest Convention on Cybercrime and the Challenges of Harmonisation

Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) are now central to the way we interact, both socially and commercially. Inevitably, some people will use ICTs in the commission or facilitation of crime; so-called ‘cybercrimes’. The interconnected nature of modern technology makes this a global problem, and for decades there has been international awareness of the need for coordinated action. The Council of Europe’s Convention on Cybercrime (‘Convention’) was the first multilateral binding instrument to regulate cybercrime. Having recently passed the 10th anniversary of its coming into force, it is timely to reflect on the Convention’s role in the harmonisation of cybercrime laws and its place amongst other international efforts to combat cybercrime. This article begins with a discussion of the importance of harmonisation in combatting cybercrime. There is then a general overview of the Convention, followed by an analysis of three key aspects of harmonisation — the extent to which it is: (1) comprehensive; (2) protective of rights; and (3) representative. Consideration is then given to the desirability and likelihood of an international convention on cybercrime. Although the Convention remains the most significant instrument in this area, it is now accompanied by a range of international, regional and national initiatives. In an environment where an international agreement may be some way off, the Convention provides an important touchstone against which national efforts may be measured. More broadly, the international focus is appropriately moving toward the more pressing issue of capacity building.

description: Economic globalization has opened up international markets for U.S. food products, especially new markets in emerging economies. While opportunities for increased demand for U.S. pork in China look promising, little is known about this emerging market. The objective of this study is to provide a thorough analysis of Chinese consumer’s perception and attitudes towards multiple pork attributes along with an evaluation of the potential for U.S. pork in China. To achieve this goal, an empirical model is constructed to identify the relationship between Chinese consumer’s pork quality perception and their attitudes towards various pork characteristics, including search, experience, and credence attributes. A system of equations is used to identify differences in consumers’ valuation of pork quality from different countries. The model is applied to survey data from consumers in three major cities in mainland China and Hong Kong, and is estimated using a seemingly unrelated regression estimation method. Our results indicate that food safety is the most important criterion of food quality for both mainland and Hong Kong consumers. The main difference is that, for mainland consumers, food safety is equally important when evaluating domestic and imported pork quality; but Hong Kong consumers are more concerned about food safety issues of domestic pork. Furthermore, we assess the effects of patriotism on consumer perception of food quality and find that they negatively impact mainland consumer’s view of pork from the U.S. Food marketing and agribusiness implications of our findings are discussed.

Law as an Artifact Kind

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: It is commonly stated that law is an artifact, but this claim is rarely explicitly defended. This article submits this statement to closer examination. I argue that law is not straightforwardly covered by the standard philosophical account of artifacts, since not all laws have authors. However, it is possible to extend the account to include it. I then develop an analysis of law as an artifact kind. I contend that law is best regarded as a special type of artifact, which I call an ‘institutional artifact’. On this view, something qualifies as law only if, roughly, it is collectively recognised as law and is constitutively capable of fulfi lling law’s function as an artifact. I argue that law’s function as an artifact is to serve as a deontic marker by creating a sense of social obligation. A putative law that is incapable of performing that function for reasons of form or content therefore fails as law, while a law that is not minimally adapted to that function is legally defective.

description: An old problem in mathematical physics deals with the structure of the dispersion relation of the Schrödinger operator $-Δ+V(x)$ in $R^n$ with periodic potential near the edges of the spectrum. A well known conjecture says that generically (with respect to perturbations of the periodic potential) the extrema are attained by a single branch of the dispersion relation, are isolated, and have non-degenerate Hessian (i.e., dispersion relations are graphs of Morse functions). The important notion of effective masses in solid state physics, as well as Liouville property, Green's function asymptotics, etc. hinge upon this property. The progress in proving this conjecture has been slow. It is natural to try to look at discrete problems, where the dispersion relation is (in appropriate coordinates) an algebraic, rather than analytic, variety. Such models are often used for computation in solid state physics (the tight binding model). Alas, counterexamples exist in some discrete situations. We start establishing the following dichotomy: the non-degeneracy of extrema either fails or holds in the complement of a proper algebraic subset of the parameters. The known counterexample has only two free parameters. This might be too tight for genericity to hold. We consider the maximal $Z^2$-periodic two-atomic nearest-cell interaction graph, with nine edges per unit cell and the discrete "Laplace-Beltrami" operator on it. We then use methods from computational and combinatorial algebraic geometry to prove the genericity conjecture for this graph. We show three different approaches to the genericity, which might be suitable in various situations. It is also proven in this case that adding more parameters does not destroy the genericity result. We list all "bad" periodic subgraphs of the one we consider and discover that in all these cases genericity fails for "trivial" reasons only.
Polarization Properties of Nine Southern Radio Pulsars

description: We report on radio polarimetry observations for nine southern pulsars. Six of the nine in the sample are young, with characteristic ages under 100 kyr and high spin-down luminosities. All six show a significant degree of linear polarization. We also confirm a previously noticed trend in which the degree of linear polarization increases with spin-down luminosity. Where possible we have used the rotating-vector model of the pulsar emission geometry to fit the observed position angle data. Our fit for PSR J1513-5908 (B1509-58) in particular is useful for directly testing the magnetospheric model of Melatos (1997) in combination with further timing observations. For this pulsar we find that a magnetic inclination angle greater than or equal to 60 degrees is excluded at the 3-sigma level, and that the geometry suggested by the morphology of an apparent bipolar X-ray outflow is marginally inconsistent with the Melatos model. We also report on polarimetry of three older pulsars: PSR J0045-7319, PSR J1627-4845, and PSR J1316-6232 (whose discovery we also report). Of these, only PSR J0045-7319 shows significant polarization.

The High Court and Kable: A Study in Federalism and Rights Protection

Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: This article explores the impact of the High Court’s uncertain formulation and application of the Kable doctrine on Australia’s federal system and the democratic protection of rights. It will argue that the definitional difficulties inherent in the doctrine have had a deleterious effect on the federation, undermining federal diversity. Further, while the Kable doctrine has achieved important, incidental, rights protection benefits in the curial context, in political discourse it has been used as a substitute for deeper public conversations about the role of the state in community protection, criminal punishment and acceptable incursions into human liberties. This ‘buck-passing’ is dangerous in systems that rely substantially on legislative protection of rights and lack express and enforceable judicial rights protections. Implied structural principles such as the Kable doctrine have an inherently limited capacity to operate as a rights protective mechanism.

description: If life is sustained by a process of photosynthesis, not necessarily the same existing on Earth, the surface temperature of the star and the orbit of the host planet cannot be whatsoever. In fact the global life cycle, no matter how complicated, must contain in general an upper photochemical branch and a lower dark branch, characterized by a higher and a lower temperature. These two temperatures are star-orbit related. The velocity along the cycle or, in other words, the power of the life machine, depends in general on several other parameters. First of all the Gibbs photon availability, which is a star-orbit parameter and is the input for the upper branch. Then follows the energy cascade that develops along the organic web with a large number of interactions and typical times that must match the typical times generated by the combination of spin value and orientation, eccentricity and precession. Finally, the capacity of the web to keep the global life cycle running along the life span of the star, comes from some inner form of self-endurance and self-balance. The property of not being transient could be the right way of introducing the concept of intelligent life.

description: Gauge theories in 2+1 dimensions whose gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken to a finite group enjoy a quantum group symmetry which includes the residual gauge symmetry. This symmetry provides a framework in which fundamental excitations (electric charges) and topological excitations (magnetic fluxes) can be treated on equal footing. In order to study symmetry breaking by both electric and magnetic condensates we develop a theory of symmetry breaking which is applicable to models whose symmetry is described by a quantum group (quasitriangular Hopf algebra). Using this general framework we investigate the symmetry breaking and confinement phenomena which occur in (2+1)-dimensional gauge theories. Confinement of particles is linked to the formation of string-like defects. Symmetry breaking by an electric condensate leads to magnetic confinement and vice-versa. We illustrate the general formalism with examples where the symmetry is broken by electric, magnetic and dyonic condensates.

On January 22, 1973, the United States (US) Supreme Court made its decision in Roe v. Wade challenging the Texas statute making it a crime to perform an abortion on a woman. This decision established the right for pregnant persons to access safe and legal abortions nationally (Planned Parenthood, 2014). Prior to the ruling, abortion was so unsafe that 17% of all pregnancy related deaths were a result of an unsafe illegal abortion, when afterwards only 0.3% of women undergoing abortion had serious complications (Planned Parenthood, 2014).

description: Since 1904, Australia has sought to protect shippers by prohibiting parties to contracts such as bills of lading from contracting out of Australian law and jurisdiction. Today, this protection lives on in s 11 of the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act 1991 (Cth). This section has recently been in the spotlight following a divergence of authority relating to its scope. This article argues that legislative revision of s 11 is necessary in order to clarify its scope and to ensure that its operation is consistent with the underlying policies justifying its existence, as expressed by the legislature.

description: We employ a quantum trajectory approach to characterize synchronization and phase-locking between open quantum systems in nonequilibrium steady states. We exemplify our proposal for the paradigmatic case of two quantum Van der Pol oscillators interacting through dissipative coupling. We show the deep impact of synchronization on the statistics of phase-locking indicators and other correlation measures defined for single trajectories, spotting a link between the presence of synchronization and the emergence of large tails in the probability distribution for the entanglement along trajectories. Our results shed new light on fundamental issues regarding quantum synchronization providing new methods for its precise quantification.

description: Relevant time series data/information on temperature, rainfall and relative humidity over considerable period of about 4 decades has been analysed using simple statistical tools such as periodic mean, mean deviation and t-test to ascertain the changing climate pattern in Ludhiana district of Punjab. During past 40 years, the region experienced significant increase in average minimum temperature for all months in kharif season in the range of 1.4-2.1°C. The average maximum temperature has increased only for the month of August (0.5°C), while it decreased for the months of June (1.4°) and September (0.6°C). In totality, rise in average monthly temperature during kharif season has enhanced the level of warming. The average rainfall of the region showed an increasing trend with significant results for September (46.7 mm) and October (15.2 mm). The average relative humidity during the study period has been consistently and significantly increased in the range of 1.5-10 per cent during all these months. Climate change has the ability to influence the crops productivity either positively or negatively. Most of the studies have utilised various simulation models to estimate the likely impact of climate change on paddy productivity, while very few studies have considered how rising temperature and erratic rainfall or as a whole changing climatic factors have actually affected crop productivity and production. Weekly correlation between each climatic factor and periods of the crop season were computed to develop the empirical relationship and to identify all potential weeks climate affecting paddy productivity. The study identified climatecomposite technological index model as a better fitted model to describe the impact of climate as well as technology on paddy productivity in Ludhiana district of Punjab. Increase in the maximum temperature has negative impact on paddy productivity, while increase in the minimum temperature, rainfall and relative humidity has positive impact though non-significant.
Judicial Independence from the Executive: A First-Principles Review of the Australian Cases
Creators: name: Ananian-Welsh, Rebecca
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: This article develops a first principles conception of judicial independence. It does so by way of synthesising the large volume of domestic and international materials that describe the idea. It then analyses the extent to which Australian judges have realised the concept through constitutional and other legal development. The article establishes the very signifi cant steps taken by Australian judges to assert their independence from the executive, but equally it also identifi es some important gaps. Means of remedying these gaps are discussed, including through the further development of constitutional principles and other non-judicial means.
Sticking Up for Victoria? — Victoria's Legislative Council Inquires into the Performance of the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: This article analyses the report of the Victorian Legislative Council’s Legal and Social Issues Legislation Committee (‘Committee’) from its Inquiry into the Performance of the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). AHPRA is a national body that provides administrative support for the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (NRAS), under which practitioners in 14 health professions across Australia are regulated. The article considers the Committee’s fi ndings and recommendations in light of the impetuses for the creation of the NRAS, as well as the structure and implementation of the NRAS and AHPRA. It is argued that that the value of the Committee’s report is confi ned to its identifi cation of important issues concerning the NRAS and AHPRA that, in the near future, will require a more critical and comprehensive investigation than the Committee undertook.

On Hecke theory for Hermitian modular forms

description: In this paper we outline the Hecke theory for Hermitian modular forms in the sense of Hel Braun for arbitrary class number of the attached imaginary-quadratic number field. The Hecke algebra turns out to be commutative. Its inert part has a structure analogous to the case of the Siegel modular group and coincides with the tensor product of its $p$-components for inert primes $p$. This leads to a characterization of the associated Siegel-Eisenstein series. The proof also involves Hecke theory for particular congruence subgroups.

Dynamical Evolution of Triplets of Galaxies

description: By means of N-body simulations we study the global dynamics of triplets of galaxies, considering initial conditions starting from `maximum expansion' and in virial equilibrium. Unlike previous studies we treat galaxies self-consistently. We do not consider the influence of a primordial common halo of dark matter. Our results indicate that a low number of triple mergers are expected at the present epoch (~10%) for collapsing triplets. Initially virialised conditions yield ~5% of triple mergers in ~10 Gyr of evolution; hence, the 3-galaxy problem has stable states. No overmerging problem for these small groups of galaxies is found. Their geometrical properties, as reflected by the Agekyan-Anosova map, do not show an excess of extreme hierarchical triplets. The median velocity dispersion of observed compact triplets (~100 km/s) is not well reproduced in our models at the present epoch. However, about 10% of simulated triplets starting from maximum expansion have dynamical properties very similar to them. Our median values agree, however, very well with new data on triples. We find that the median mass estimators performs somewhat better than the virial mass estimate. The VME underestimates mass by \~35%. We conclude that Karachentsev's compact triplets probably represent the most advanced stage of gravitational clustering of initially diffuse triplets.

description: With over 1 billion infections and the causative agents showing critical diseases such as pancreatic cancer the study of pathogenic fungi has never been more critical. In 2017, the United States spent $7.2 billion on fungal diseases. $4.5 billion was allocated to 75,055 hospitalizations while $2.6 billion went to 8,993,230 outpatient visits. For Candida infections specifically, the cost was $1.4 billion. In an attempt to identify. Currently there are few classes of antifungals available and resistance is growing. The identification of genes required for biofilm formation is essential for new antifungal development. In this paper we will detail how to screen a mutant library to identify genes required for biofilm formation. Included in this review is how to run an in vitro biofilm formation assay, how to create clean deletions using the modified CRISPR-Cas9 system, how to assay to identify the potential causes of the defect, and how to create complementation strains to confirm the mutant defect.

Ensuring Access to Justice in Mediation within the Civil Justice System
Creators: name: Noone, Mary Anne
Publisher: name: Monash University

Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: This article addresses the issue of access to justice and mediation. Australian state and federal Attorneys-General have identifi ed mediation as an important tool in improving access to justice for ordinary citizens. Shifts in government policy have greatly increased the use of mediation as a means of resolving disputes in civil matters in both courts and tribunals. Policy makers, practitioners, courts and tribunals aspire to refl ect the values of the ‘access to justice movement’ in the increased use of mediation. This article reports on fi ndings from empirical qualitative research that sought to identify what those in the mediation fi eld think about mediation and justice and how they seek to guard against perpetuating disadvantage in mediation and thus improve access to justice. The insights provided by practitioners, mediation service providers and policy makers, tribunal members and magistrates, about issues relating to mediation and justice are detailed. Whether mediation should be concerned with justice and, if so, whether it should be concerned with procedural or substantive justice or both is explored. The conclusion suggests how the justice quality of mediation could be measured to ensure access to justice is enhanced for the disadvantaged and not diminished.
Loop inequalities and confinement

description: We consider correlation inequalities that follow from the well-known loop equations of LGT, and their analogues in spin systems. They provide a way of bounding long range by short or intermediate range correlations. In several cases the method easily reproduces results that otherwise require considerable effort to obtain. In particular, in the case of the 2-dimensional O(N) spin model, where large N analytical results are available, the absence of a phase transition and the exponential decay of correlations for all $β$ is easily demonstrated. We report on the possible application of this technique to the analogous 4-dimensional problem of area law for the Wilson loop in LGT at large $β$.
