description: The contemporary concept of value chains has evolved from many disciplines and directions by creating a complex and multidisciplinary body of knowledge. The value chains consist of structural and dynamic components of a system. The structural components refer to all participants within a chain that, through marketfocused collaboration, execute a sequence of activities that add value. The dynamic components relate to management and relationships among participants, and the ability of the value chain to remain competitive by improving the system. The main activities of a value chain analysis are: end-market analysis, value chain mapping, the analysis of network structure and governance, as well as economic analysis. The results of the analysis are the input for the upgrading strategies. Types of upgrading in value chains are: the upgrading of a product, process, functional and intersectoral upgrading. The paper focuses on the value chains in agribusiness and especially to small agricultural producers.

description: The paper considers economic growth of five Western Balkan countries on the one hand, and on the other the affluence of direct foreign investments as one of external sources of growth in the period 2000-2017. The starting point was the attitude that due to insufficient domestic savings and engagement of foreign investments, those countries have to treat external sources of investment as a condition of permanent change of economic growth rate to a higher level, because it is obvious that after the economic crisis in 2009, the economic growth rates do not provide closure of developmental gap with EU countries. Therefore, foreign direct investments are the supplement to domestic accumulation. However, without disclaiming their benefits, it should be borne in mind that they cannot be substitution for domestic saving.
Experimentally Accessible Quantum Phase Transition in a non-Hermitian Tavis-Cummings Model Engineered with Two Drive Fields

description: We study the quantum phase transition (QPT) in a non-Hermitian Tavis-Cummings (TC) model of experimentally accessible parameters, which is engineered with two drive fields applied to an ensemble of two-level systems (TLSs) and a cavity, respectively. When the two drive fields satisfy a given parameter-matching condition, the coupled cavity-TLS ensemble system can be described by an effective standard TC Hamiltonian in the rotating frame. In this ideal Hermitian case, the engineered TC model can exhibit the super-radiant QPT with spin conservation at an experimentally accessible critical coupling strength, but the QPT is, however, spoiled by the decoherence. We find that in this non-Hermitian case, the QPT can be recovered by introducing a gain in the cavity to balance the loss of the TLS ensemble. Also, the spin-conservation law is found to be violated due to the decoherence of the system. Our study offers an experimentally realizable approach to implementing QPT in the non-Hermitian TC model.

description: European Social Survey Education Net (ESS EduNet) is an online analysis-training programme that makes it easier and more efficient for lecturers to use ESS data in their teaching. ESS EduNet is a resource that unites different elements of social science in pursuit of a common goal -- the achievement of more penetrating and better-founded analysis of attitudinal survey data than hitherto. The intention is to create an environment for learning that challenges the students on theoretical, methodological, and practical issues simultaneously. Our hope is to improve the students' knowledge of a range of different approaches to social scientific analysis, stimulate independent thinking, and offer them the technical means of investigating empirical data and interpreting results. ESS EduNet is funded by the European Commission as a part of Round Two of the European Social Survey, and developed by the Norwegian Social Science Data Services.

description: The correlation between anthocyanins content and accumulation of zinc (Zn) in leaves of Zea mays was investigated and this was considered as a mode of assessing the intensity of Zn toxicity. Characterisation and quantification of leaf pigments were done in 45 d old maize plants exposed to different concentrations of Zn (0.0, 0.65, 1.30, 1.95 g Zn Kg−1 soil), and the enhancement in the accumulation of anthocyanins and degradation of chlorophyll was detected by the spectral analysis performed in the leaf extract of plants as the Zn content in the shoot increases. The role of anthocyanins in safeguarding photosynthesis and chelation of Zn was critically evaluated using chlorophyll a fluorescence responses and computational DFT-B3LYP structural analysis of anthocyanins-Zn complex has been performed using 6-311++ G (df, p) basis set. It was concluded that the accumulation of anthocyanins can act as an indicator of the intensity of Zn stress and this anthocyanins have a lesser potential to maintain photosynthetic efficiency in Z. mays, but plays a prominent role in metal chelation as the anthocyanins-Zn complex is a stable molecule.

description: The spacing of nearest levels of the spectrum of a complex network can be regarded as a time series. Joint use of Multi-fractal Detrended Fluctuation Approach (MF-DFA) and Diffusion Entropy (DE) is employed to extract characteristics from this time series. For the WS (Watts and Strogatz) small-world model, there exist a critical point at rewiring probability . For a network generated in the range, the correlation exponent is in the range of . Above this critical point, all the networks behave similar with that at . For the ER model, the time series behaves like FBM (fractional Brownian motion) noise at . For the GRN (growing random network) model, the values of the long-range correlation exponent are in the range of . For most of the GRN networks the PDF of a constructed time series obeys a Gaussian form. In the joint use of MF-DFA and DE, the shuffling procedure in DE is essential to obtain a reliable result.

News from Cosmic Ray Air Showers (ICRC 2019 -- Cosmic Ray Indirect Rapport)

description: This rapport summarizes the cosmic-ray indirect (CRI) session of the 36th ICRC conference. Updated measurements from several air-shower arrays with higher precision lead to the discovery of new features in the energy spectrum: HAWC measures a softening of the light component (p+He) around $10^{13.5}\,$eV; measurements of the Pierre Auger Observatory show that the second knee is a smooth feature extending at least over the range of $100-200\,$PeV and that the energy spectrum between the ankle and the cut-off cannot be described by a simple broken power law. Measurements of the mass composition confirm that the composition is a varying mixture of protons and nuclei at least up to several $10\,$EeV. A joint effort of several collaborations helps to better assess deficiencies of hadronic interaction models, e.g., by quantifying the muon deficit in the models over the shower energy. Anisotropy measurements with higher precision generally confirm earlier results. A change of the amplitude and phase of the equatorial dipole indicates that in the energy range between the second knee and the ankle there likely is a transition from Galactic to extragalactic sources. However, neither the most energetic Galatic nor the extragalactic sources have been discovered, which remains a primary science goal. Next to more exposure, an increase of measurement accuracy and decrease of systematic uncertainties will provide future progress. It is particularly exciting that new experiments are built and existing experiments upgraded to increase the measurement accuracy of the energy and mass composition, e.g., by combining radio antennas with particle detectors. Last but not least, there is a trend that experiments are designed such that they can target cosmic rays, photons, and neutrinos at the same time, which will facilitate multi-messenger astrophysics at the highest energies.

description: We apply the Yang-Lee theory of phase transitions to an urn model of separation of sand. The effective partition function of this nonequilibrium system can be expressed as a polynomial of the size-dependent effective fugacity $z$. Numerical calculations show that in the thermodynamic limit, the zeros of the effective partition function are located on the unit circle in the complex $z$-plane. In the complex plane of the actual control parameter certain roots converge to the transition point of the model. Thus the Yang-Lee theory can be applied to a wider class of nonequilibrium systems than those considered previously.

description: Moore's Law is running out. Instead of making powerful computer by increasing number of transistor now we are moving toward Parallelism. Beowulf cluster means cluster of any Commodity hardware. Our Cluster works exactly similar to current day's supercomputers. The motivation is to create a small sized, cheap device on which students and researchers can get hands on experience. There is a master node, which interacts with user and all other nodes are slave nodes. Load is equally divided among all nodes and they send their results to master. Master combines those results and show the final output to the user. For communication between nodes we have created a network over Ethernet. We are using MPI4py, which a Python based implantation of Message Passing Interface (MPI) and MPICH which also an open source implementation of MPI and allows us to code in C, C++ and Fortran. MPI is a standard for writing codes for such clusters. We have written parallel programs of Monte Carlo's Simulation for finding value of pi and prime number generator in Python and C++ making use of MPI4py and MPICH respectively. We have also written sequential programs applying same algorithms in Python. Then we compared the time it takes to run them on cluster in parallel and in sequential on a computer having 6500 core i7 Intel processor. It is found that making use of parallelism; we were able to outperform an expensive computer which costs much more than our cluster.
Statistical Literacy Survey Results

description: In 2002, an international survey on reading tables and graphs of rates and percentages was conducted by the W. M. Keck Statistical Literacy Project. Respondents included US college students, college teachers worldwide, and professional data analysts in the US and in South Africa. The survey focused on reading informal statistics rates and percentages in tables and graphs. Some high error rates were encountered. In reading a 100 percent row table, 44 percent of students (28% of professionals) misread a description of a single percentage. In reading a pie chart, 68 percent of students (53 percent of professionals) misread a comparison of two slices. In reading an X-Y plot, 81 percent of college teachers misread a "times more than" comparison. Educators should accept responsibility for establishing the grammatical rules for writing ordinary English descriptions and comparisons of rates and percentages and for teaching students to read and write such statements correctly.
A Historical Note about how the Property was Discovered that Hydrogenated Substances Increase the Radioactivity Induced by Neutrons

description: At the "Domus Galilaeana" in Pisa, many original documents and records are kept, which belong to the scientific activity carried out by Enrico Fermi until 1938. I compared those documentary sources with the supported evidences, the personal recollections, concerning the discovery that hydrogenated substances increase the radioactivity induced by neutrons: such a comparison leads to the conclusion that the discovery occurred on October 20th 1934, i.e., two days before the date that all the accounts that have been supported so far report. That suggests that any historical study to come, and regarding the experiments carried out by Fermi and his group on neutrons, cannot neglect to analyse carefully the accounts regarding those experiments and to compare them with the archive records.

description: In oxidations by nitric acid (HNO3), such as the dissolution of gold (Au) in aqua regia, mixtures of nitrogen monoxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) are produced. In this article, the exact processes through which these two nitrogen oxides are produced were discussed. It was shown that in the processes of dissolution in HNO3 or aqua regia, NO2 is never a direct product of oxidations by HNO3. It was also explained that in such processes, NO2 is always produced from HNO3 and NO reacting. Further, the effect of the concentration of HNO3 was discussed in light of thermodynamic calculations.

description: We study the behavior of magnetic vortices on a two-dimensional support manifold being not simply connected. It is done by considering the continuum approach of the XY-model on a plane with two disks removed from it. We argue that an effective attractive interaction between the two disks may exist due to the presence of a vortex. The results can be applied to diluted planar ferromagnets with easy-plane anisotropy, where the disks can be seen as nonmagnetic impurities. Simulations are also used to test the predictions of the continuum limit.

description: A freely propagating optical field having a periodic transverse spatial profile undergoes periodic axial revivals - a well-known phenomenon known as the Talbot effect or self-imaging. We show here that introducing tight spatio-temporal spectral correlations into an ultrafast pulsed optical field with a periodic transverse spatial profile eliminates all axial dynamics in physical space while revealing a novel space-time Talbot effect that can be observed only when carrying out time-resolved measurements. Indeed, 'time-diffraction' is observed whereupon the temporal profile of the field envelope at a fixed axial plane corresponds to a segment of the spatial propagation profile of a monochromatic field sharing the initial spatial profile and observed at the same axial plane. Time-averaging, which is intrinsic to observing the intensity, altogether veils this effect.

description: We report the effect of various Bi:Ti ratios x:1 (x = 0.5–3) on the phase formation of sodium-bismuth titanate Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (NBT) during hydrothermal synthesis (230°С, 3 MPa, 96 h) from titanium oxide and bismuth hydroxide in 20 M NaOH solution. It was shown that single-phase ceramics with perovskite structure could be obtained at x = 0.5–0.9 using the hot-pressing technique (1025°С, 60 MPa, 1 h). At x = 1, hydrothermal synthesis results in single-phase samples, while, after sintering, the admixture of Na2Ti3O7 was detected. At x = 2 and 3, samples contained admixtures after hydrothermal synthesis. The x–value does not significantly affect the composition of perovskite-like products despite the excess of bismuth in the system. The chemical composition of the samples with x = 0.5–0.9 corresponds to the general formula Na0.60–0.69Bi0.40–0.31TiO2.9–2.81δ0.10–0.19 (where δ represents vacancies in oxygen sublattice). The Bi3+ content in the samples is underestimated due to the solubility of its hydroxide in a 20 M alkali solution. The properties of ceramics are not significantly affected by x values, and materials exhibit following average characteristics: electrical resistivity 1.3 × 109 Ohm∙cm, tanδ = 0.15, Кр = 0.1, d31 = 6.7 and d33 = 9.5 pC/N, g31 = 2.34 and g33 = 3 mV∙m/N.
Brief commentary on the geologic column as a theme in "creation geology"
Creators: name: Edmonds, Noah
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Geology
subject: FOS: Earth and related environmental sciences

description: According to several young earth creationist think tanks, such as Creation Ministries International (Woodmorappe, John. The Geologic Column: Does it exist? creation.com, Creation Ministries International. Web.) or Answers in Genesis (Patterson, Roger. Geologic Column (Chapter 6, Evolution Exposed: Earth Science). Answers in Genesis, 2011. Web.), the geologic column is a popular way to represent the ancient layers of Earth despite not existing anywhere on the planet: it exists only in diagrams. Before the popularization of evolution in the late 1800s, it was wholly acceptable to recognize the Earth's layers as having resulted from Noah's Flood (a recognition they claim is confirmed today, as we observe representatives of all modern animal phyla in the Cambrian Explosion and onward), as the founders of geology initially believed. This paper aims to examine these claims in light of the relevant and available data.

A FEDORA-Based Institutional Repository to Support Multidisciplinary Collections
Creators: name: Jantz, Ron
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2006

description: Institutional repositories must support both multidisciplinary collections and the preservation of those collections that are intended to be persistent. These goals are challenging from many perspectives including specifically the technological infrastructure and the emerging concept of becoming a "trusted" repository. The FEDORA framework provides a flexible and extensible environment for meeting the challenge of institutional repositories. This presentation will discuss the approach that Rutgers University Libraries has used to develop a FEDORA-based institutional repository with specific emphasis on the information architecture and services to support collections and digital preservation. Examples from data and cultural heritage collections will be used to illustrate the relevant concepts.

 Laing (1929) described A. misrae from leaves of Tamarindus indica (Leguminosae), collected at Pusa, Bihar, India, and indicated that the types­series was deposited in the Natural History Museum, London (BMNH). Dr. Jon Martin (BMNH) kindly searched the BMNH collection and found no syntype slides of this species. Therefore, he sent me dry material from the original collection, which included two adult females and one adult male. Each of these specimens was mounted on a separate slide. One of the females is here designated lectotype and the slide is clearly marked.
 Studies of the above­mentioned specimens showed that the adult female of A. misrae is characterized mainly in: body pyriform; prosoma not produced posteriorly into distinctive lobes; dorsal ducts of the pygidium of two sizes; marginal paraphyses of pygidium well developed, extending as anterior as abdominal segment IV. These characters clearly show that A. misrae does not belong to the genus Aonidiella and warrant its placement in the genus Lindingaspis MacGillivray.
 Laing (1929) clearly indicated in both the text and illustration that the adult female of A. misrae did not possess perivulvar pores. However, the type­series specimens do possess perivulvar pores in four groups: 8 or 9 disc­pores in each anterior group and 1–6 pores in each posterior group. Further comparisons of L. misrae with other species of Lindingaspis showed that Lindingaspis fusca McKenzie, 1943, is morphologically identical with Lindingaspis misrae (Laing, 1929).
 The description and illustration of the adult female under the name L. fusca by McKenzie (1943, 1950) adequately represents the taxonomic features of L. misrae.
 Material examined. LECTOTYPE female of Aonidiella misrae Laing (here designated): INDIA, Bihar, Pusa, on Tamarindus indica; additional female and one adult male (BMNH). Two female paratypes of Lindingaspis fusca McKenzie, 1943, INDIA, Maharashtra, Poona [=Pune], on sago palm, Cycas circinalis, collected 1 June, 1932, Harold Compere (Bohart Museum of Entomology, Department of Entomology, University of California, Davis, USA).

description: We calculate the current-voltage characteristic of a two-dimensional electron system (2DES) subjected to a magnetic field at strong electric fields. The interaction of electrons with piezoelectric acoustic phonons is considered as a major scattering mechanism governing the current-voltage characteristic. It is shown that at a sufficiently strong electric field corresponding to the Hall drift velocity exceeding the velocity of sound, the dissipative current exhibits an overshoot. The overshoot of the dissipative current can result in a breakdown of the absolute negative conductivity caused by microwave irradiation and, therefore, substantially effect the formation of the domain structures with the zero-resistance and zero-conductance states and supersonic electron streams.

description: We investigate the deconfining phase transition in SU(3) pure gauge theory and in full QCD with two flavors of staggered fermions by means of a gauge invariant thermal partition functional. In the pure gauge case our finite size scaling analysis is in agreement with the well known weak first order phase transition. In the case of 2 flavors full QCD we find that the phase transition is consistent with weak first order, contrary to the expectation of a crossover for not too large quark masses.

description: We calculate the coefficients of three-point functions of BMN operators with two vector impurities. We find that these coefficients can be obtained from those of the three-point functions of scalar BMN operators by interchanging the coefficient for the symmetric-traceless representation with the coefficient for the singlet. We conclude that the Z_2 symmetry of the pp-wave string theory is not manifest at the level of field theory three-point correlators.

description: Generative deep learning algorithms have progressed to a point where it is difficult to tell the difference between what is real and what is fake. In 2018, it was discovered how easy it is to use this technology for unethical and malicious applications, such as the spread of misinformation, impersonation of political leaders, and the defamation of innocent individuals. Since then, these `deepfakes' have advanced significantly. In this paper, we explore the creation and detection of deepfakes and provide an in-depth view of how these architectures work. The purpose of this survey is to provide the reader with a deeper understanding of (1) how deepfakes are created and detected, (2) the current trends and advancements in this domain, (3) the shortcomings of the current defense solutions, and (4) the areas which require further research and attention.

description: The purpose of this study is to investigate the current status of contamination due to the heavy metal and organic substances (PAHs, HC >12, organotin compounds, PCB, DDD, DDE, DDT) pollution of the sediments from the coastal area of the Bagnoli brownfield (Naples, Italy) and draw some hypotheses on the origin and trends of industrial and also geogenic contamination. Surface sediments and cores were collected and analysed. The results showed remarkable concentrations of heavy metals, PAHs, and other substances that are significantly higher than the national guideline values of sea sediment quality. Correlation analyses and spatial distribution analyses showed that generally the inorganic and organic pollutants have similar patterns, confirming the common origin from the industrial activity, but also that some of the studied metals have some natural contribution originated from the geologic setting of the area. The distribution of most of the heavy metals (especially Cd, Hg, Pb, Cu, Zn, partially Cr and Ni) and PAHs are similar, and the highest concentrations were recognised between and just off the piers, but a diffuse contamination is widespread up to the external areas of the site perimeter, rising concern on the diffusion of contaminants to the whole Gulf of Pozzuoli.

Glaziou 7715 (syntype S (S10-22253) photo!).
 Barroso (1976) referred to the specimen Dusén 6906 as “ holotype ” of B. curitybensis, without indicating which duplicate she was referring to and in which herbarium it is located. Barroso’s choice was the first-step for lectotypification and the specimen Dusén 6906 at S (S10-22254) is here designated as lectotype in the second-step to accomplish the ICBN requirements (McNeil et al. 2006). This designation restricts and specifies Barroso’s (1976) choice and results in several isolectotypes for this name. The remaining syntypes don’t have known duplicates.

Assessment of Primary Health Care Workers’(General Practitioners/ Nurse Practitioners) Knowledge of Diabetic Foot Ulcer/Infection (DFU/I) Standards of Care and their Awareness of Available Resources in Rural Central Newfoundland
Creators: name: Isa, David

description: Diabetic Foot Ulcer/Infection (DFU/I) is a challenging condition to manage and to live with for patients and the healthcare system. This is even more so in a rural setting such as Central Newfoundland as this condition requires a multidisciplinary approach. Primary healthcare workers (HCWs), family doctors and nurse practitioners, are usually the first point of contact with the healthcare system for patients with DFU/I. For optimal care to be delivered, these primary HCWs must have good knowledge of the condition and be well aware of what resources are available to them in their rural locale to provide optimal care. This study aims to determine if a knowledge gap exists among primary HCWs in rural Central Newfoundland, to quantify this gap if it exists, and to determine how aware they are of available local resources to help with DFU/I care. To this end, a 57-question survey was mailed out to all 117 primary HCWs in the Central Health region of Newfoundland to assess their knowledge on DFU/I prevention, its management, and their awareness of available resources in the region. The results showed that primary HCWs have a high knowledge of DFU/I prevention and a high awareness of available resources. The results also showed that their knowledge on DFU/I management is just about optimal and there is considerable room for improvement here. Available resources in Central Newfoundland and how primary HCWs could access them for their patients is described in this paper and suggested practice recommendations are given in order to improve DFU/I management by primary HCWs for improved patient outcomes.
