description: The article analyzes characteristics and deviations from the approach to rural development via local initiative groups that has been fully accepted as a method in most part of the developed societies. It has been found, that in Ukraine such groups function better if they are composed of officials, responsible management and heads of local agencies. However, during the antiterrorist operation in 2014; in order to relocate, adapt and stabilize communities in areas of conflict in Ukraine, mixed action groups were often formed that contained a share of IDPs (internally displaced persons) and civil society activists. Such groups have shown themselves fairly well during the 2014–2016 biennium, and their potential was found to be suitable for further economic development of rural areas in Eastern Ukraine, including possible early recovery economic projects in the approximation to the conflict zone, where only voluntary associations are seen as able to produce small, but real economic effects. Features of the structure, performance, motivation of these groups and associations are highlighted in the article further below. The relevance of incentives for small and medium businesses as a way of creating new jobs in these villages and municipalities is separately discussed.

description: We show analytically that training a neural network by conditioned stochastic mutation or neuroevolution of its weights is equivalent, in the limit of small mutations, to gradient descent on the loss function in the presence of Gaussian white noise. Averaged over independent realizations of the learning process, neuroevolution is equivalent to gradient descent on the loss function. We use numerical simulation to show that this correspondence can be observed for finite mutations,for shallow and deep neural networks. Our results provide a connection between two families of neural-network training methods that are usually considered to be fundamentally different.

description: The article investigates the problem of seasonality in the production of meat and eggs on the basis of the dynamics of time series of meat and egg production in Ukraine in 2009–2016. After the construction of the input time series in the stationary, parameters of the model were found and the production volumes of meat and eggs for the subsequent periods are predicted. The seasonal autoregressive economic and mathematical models such as SARIMA (seasonally ARIMA) were fitted on the basis of the time series describing the monthly dynamics of meat and egg production in Ukraine (based on statistics for the period 2009–2016). On the basis of these models, the forecasts of these indicators are received for the next two years. By comparing the obtained forecasts with the actual values, the conclusion is drawn about the adequacy of the results obtained.

description: We investigate the properties of an abstract family of advection diffusion equations in the context of the fractional Laplacian. Two independent diffusion parameters enter the system, one via the constitutive law for the drift velocity and one as the prefactor of the fractional Laplacian. We obtain existence and convergence results in certain parameter regimes and limits. We study the long time behaviour of solutions to the general problem and prove the existence of a unique global attractor. We apply results to two particular active scalar equations arising in geophysical fluid dynamics, namely the surface quasigeostrophic equation and the magnetogeostrophic equation.

description: Some of the peculiar electrodynamical effects associated with gauged ``dimension bubbles'' are presented. Such bubbles, which effectively enclose a region of 5d spacetime, can arise from a 5d theory with a compact extra dimension. Bubbles with thin domain walls can be stabilized against total collapse by the entrapment of light charged scalar bosons inside the bubble, extending the idea of a neutral dimension bubble to accommodate the case of a gauged U(1) symmetry. Using a dielectric approach to the 4d dilaton-Maxwell theory, it is seen that the bubble wall is almost totally opaque to photons, leading to a new stabilization mechanism due to trapped photons. Photon dominated bubbles very slowly shrink, resulting in a temperature increase inside the bubble. At some critical temperature, however, these bubbles explode, with a release of radiation.

description: The purpose of the paper – to highlight the results of research on the formation of scientific and methodical basics for determining the effectiveness of organic land use. The theoretical and methodical basis of estimation of effectiveness of organic agricultural land use from positions of systematic and interdisciplinary approaches are revealed in the paper. The provisions on the essence and hierarchical classification of the effectiveness and economic and environmental effectiveness in particular had further development. This study presents a new system of indicators for calculating effectiveness of organic land use, beginning with an overview of different approaches to assessing agricultural land use. This system takes into account the ecosystem value (ecosystem services) and monetary valuation of agricultural lands and which includes subsystem indicators of productivity, profitability, economic stability, value and cost-effectiveness (saving). A set of key indicators for estimation of the economic effectiveness of organic agricultural land use is formed.

description: This study first reports research on the primary role of local, state, and federal policy within historical context and highlights the reoccurring need for accountability. Limited measures of accountably were found in two main educational issues regarding teacher quality and student achievement. Education leaders, more today, have increased pressure to report measured accountability based on federal and state policy requirements. A 50 State and D.C. survey conducted in 2010-2011 by Arts Education Partnership (AEP) to State Education Agencies Directors of Arts Education (SEADAE) describes the current condition of arts education regarding policy adoption and implementation and statewide data collection and reporting.This survey finds that data on indicators of teacher quality and student achievement are limited and correlates with reports on inadequate policy implementation. Barriers of policy implementation were detected by coding qualitative survey results and cross examination with survey results on data collection. This study calls to attention the need for data-systems to communicate more data involving more measures to report teacher quality and student achievement. Data-systems may easily communicate the complexities of teacher evaluation and student assessment across varying levels of government to meet the demands and pressures of current policy requirements.

description: Agricultural bioeconomy’s opportunities to solve the problems of ecological and food security in the twentieth century have transformed the dynamics of the sector's development into a geopolitical factor, which has led to a growing public interest for the assignment of ownership rights to genetic resources and intellectual property of the sector. Purpose of the research is systematic analysis of intellectual property assignment models in modern agricultural bioeconomy. The research is based on general scientific knowledge and special methods of institutional analysis. There are two opposite groups of IP assignment legal models in the modern agricultural bioeconomy being taking into account – classical models based on obtaining exclusive rights of ownership and alternative models within the framework of fair use, generis sui and public domain doctrines. It is noted that there is a stable tendency of the growth of the group’s polarity due to the innovation activity development of agricultural public and private actors. Further progress of the intellectual property institutionalization processes in agricultural bioeconomy requires flexible mechanisms of public management based on the economic efficiency of assignment legal models but without losing connection with the humanistic context.

Beyond the Borders: Radicalized Evangelical Missionaries in Central America from the 1950s through the 1980s
Creators: name: Coeller, Rodney A.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation examines the complicated relationship between radicalized evangelical missionaries in Central America and their sending communities in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s. This was a volatile period in Central America, with the success of socialist revolutionaries in Nicaragua, severe repression in Guatemala and El Salvador, and the increasingly powerful presence of liberation theology in religious institutions and the communities they served. These potent forces deeply affected some evangelical missionaries and they grew more sympathetic to leftist movements in Central America. Missionaries sent out as representatives of these evangelical groups, with the goal of converting others into the fold, were thus converted theologically or politically themselves and no longer "fit" within their home communities.It was also a period of rapid change for American evangelicals. During the 1970s and 1980s, evangelicals grew more deeply committed to U.S. foreign policy, supporting Ronald Reagan's rise to the presidency, his vehement anti-communism, and his foreign policy goals throughout Latin America and the rest of the world. American missionaries in Central America were caught between these changing realities. When missionaries adapted their political and theological perspectives to adapt to transformative experiences in Central America, sending groups became uncomfortable sponsoring these radicalized missionaries who seemed to have forgotten what they were sent to Central America to do.This dissertation analyzes the ensuing conflicts between evangelical sending groups and these radicalized missionaries, which reveal several important things about the nature of missionary life as well as the nature of the evangelical community. First, there were specific, if often unspoken, beliefs about what it meant to be a missionary-- this was part of the power of the missionary narrative within the evangelical community. And second, the boundaries of evangelical identity, while often unspoken, were clarified by radicalized missionaries' violations of those boundaries. Evangelical identity turned out to be more all-encompassing than one might perceive at first glance. Theological boundaries were important, of course, but transformed missionaries soon discovered that there were political and cultural boundaries as well.

description: We evaluate the spin-orbit and spin-spin interaction between two fermions in strongly coupled gauge theories in their Coulomb phase. We use the quasi-instantaneous character of Coulomb's law at strong coupling to resum a class of ladder diagrams. For ${\cal N}=4$ SYM we derive both weak and strong coupling limits of the the spin-orbit and spin-spin interactions, and find that in the latter case these interactions are subleading corrections and do not seriously affect the deeply bound Coulomb states with large angular momentum, pointed out in our previous paper. The results are important for understanding of the regime of intermediate coupling, which is the case for QCD somewhat above the chiral transition temperature.

description: The purpose of the article was to study the effectiveness of state regulation of the organizational and economic mechanism for the formation of a financial support system for the development of consumer co-operation in Ukraine in modern conditions. The main shortcomings of the state regulation of financial support for the development of consumer co-operation of Ukraine have been identified. The practice of modern state regulation has been investigated and it has been established that the system of state regulation of financial support for the development of the consumer co-operation system consists of subjects, objects, methods and instruments of state regulation. According to the results of the study, it is determined that the forms of state support in this sphere should be financially-economic, organizational, legal and social. The elements of the SWOT-analysis and the matrix method based on the division into the fields of competitive positioning have been used to determine the promising types of the state financial support of the system of consumer co-operation of Ukraine. This has made it possible to prove that the basic types of public financial support strategies are risky, moderate, active and conservative. This approach allowed to optimize the directions of state financial support for the relevant types of economic activity of the consumer co-operation system of Ukraine.

description: Performance of blind image quality assessment (BIQA) models has been significantly boosted by end-to-end optimization of feature engineering and quality regression. Nevertheless, due to the distributional shift between images simulated in the laboratory and captured in the wild, models trained on databases with synthetic distortions remain particularly weak at handling realistic distortions (and vice versa). To confront the cross-distortion-scenario challenge, we develop a \textit{unified} BIQA model and an approach of training it for both synthetic and realistic distortions. We first sample pairs of images from individual IQA databases, and compute a probability that the first image of each pair is of higher quality. We then employ the fidelity loss to optimize a deep neural network for BIQA over a large number of such image pairs. We also explicitly enforce a hinge constraint to regularize uncertainty estimation during optimization. Extensive experiments on six IQA databases show the promise of the learned method in blindly assessing image quality in the laboratory and wild. In addition, we demonstrate the universality of the proposed training strategy by using it to improve existing BIQA models.

description: The NF-kB signalling system is involved in a variety of cellular processes including immune response, inflammation, and apoptosis. Recent experiments have found oscillations in the nuclear-cytoplasmic translocation of the NF-kB transcription factor. How the cell uses the oscillations to differentiate input conditions and send specific signals to downstream genes is an open problem. We shed light on this issue by examining the small core network driving the oscillations, which, we show, is designed to produce periodic spikes in nuclear NF-kB concentration. The oscillations can be used to regulate downstream genes in a variety of ways. In particular, we show that genes to whose operator sites NF-kB binds and dissociates fast can respond very sensitively to changes in the input signal, with effective Hill coefficients in excess of 20.

description: The study of organizations implies to observe entities that show a lot of different possible characteristics and definition should help us to understand specific features of them since many authors tried to provide their own definition; as Baum and Rowley suggested, although we could construct a mental model of an organization, it’s difficult to give a single formal definition of it (2005). The aim of this paper is to provide a reasoned review of many different perspectives about organizations, to give a full analysis and to provide a structure of investigation and, lastly, to present which perspective we will be useful, as a key of reading, for future developments. We embrace their point of view, and we consider useful to present a framework based on three definitions suggested by Scott (1998) about organizations as rational, natural and open systems. (1) Organizations can be conceived of as rational social systems as they are built to achieve goals and show a high formalization of internal social structures. (2) Organizations can also be viewed as natural social systems where participants share a common interest, while behaving in informally collective activities. (3) Lastly, organizations are open systems, because they are embedded in an environment in which they behave and set goals. The paper concludes the analysis of the three different perspectives developing a matrix in which are created “landscape” of analysis, according to the matching of the different perspectives presented.

These cylinders, which are defined as tubular neighborhoods of trajectories of a mollified flow, appear in the study of fluid equations such as the Navier-Stokes equations and the Euler equations. We define a maximal function subordinate to these cylinders, and show it is of weak type $(1, 1)$ and strong type $(p, p)$ by a covering lemma. As an application, we give an alternative proof for the higher derivatives estimate of smooth solutions to the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations.

Similarly to the condensation of vapor and dew formation, the passing of new ideas in the society’s consciousness has signs of concentration and the transition of quantitative changes to qualitative ones: the growth of accumulated energy leads to their transformation to a new qualitative basis. Therefore, promotion of social ideas implemented through the following algorithm: informative and explanatory work; the perception and acceptance of an idea by society; formation of a sustainable basis for the realized idea; systematic implementation of idea as a generally accepted by society; management and control of the process, on the part of realized idea reaches, its maximum; output of the idea to a qualitatively new level; formation of a new stage in the cycle of evolutionary ascent.

We cite several conditions when (degenerate) involution Schubert polynomials have simple factorization formulae. Such polynomials can be computed by traversing through chains in certain weak order posets, and we provide explicit descriptions of such chains in weak order for involutions and degenerate involutions. As an application, we give several examples of how certain multiplicity-free sums of Schubert polynomials factor completely into very simple linear factors.

description: Ahmed and Koob (1998) demonstrated an increase in self-administration of cocaine during long-term exposure as opposed to short-term exposure. This increase is described as an increase in the hedonic set point which dictates the amount of drug needed to have an effect. One argument against this increase appearing as a result purely of increase in hedonic set point, is that the increase seen is due to a habituation to negative effects of cocaine. The study presented here attempted support this theory of habituation using an analogous non-drug reinforcer. Water restricted rats were given short-access or long-access to quinine water similar to that of Ahmed and Koob (1998). Total water consumption was used as measurement of habituation. Results show that short-access actually produced an effect similar to escalation rather than long-access. Habituation occurred quickly for long-access rat resulting in a non-significant increase. Short-access allowed for gradual habituation over time.

description: A point-like neutron in an external electromagnetic field experiences a shift in energy that mimicks the effect of an actual structural deformation of an extended neutron, i.e., a proper polarizability. In order to be able to differentiate between the former and the latter, a Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation is constructed which yields the energy shift of a point-like neutron quadratic in the external field in a derivative expansion, generalizing a long-known result for the dipole electric polarizability due to Foldy. The ten leading Foldy contributions to the energy are determined for a zero-momentum neutron. In addition, eliminating the momentum operator in favor of the velocity operator, analogous results are derived for a zero-velocity neutron. In this case, operator ordering ambiguities are encountered that permit only a determination of eight of the ten Foldy terms.

description: Ahmed and Koob (1998) demonstrated an increase in self-administration of cocaine during long-term exposure as opposed to short-term exposure. This increase is described as an increase in the hedonic set point which dictates the amount of drug needed to have an effect. One argument against this increase appearing as a result purely of increase in hedonic set point, is that the increase seen is due to a habituation to negative effects of cocaine. The study presented here attempted support this theory of habituation using an analogous non-drug reinforcer. Water restricted rats were given short-access or long-access to quinine water similar to that of Ahmed and Koob (1998). Total water consumption was used as measurement of habituation. Results show that short-access actually produced an effect similar to escalation rather than long-access. Habituation occurred quickly for long-access rat resulting in a non-significant increase. Short-access allowed for gradual habituation over time.

Proxy War by African States, 1950-2010

description: The low number of recognized interstate wars in Africa since 1950 suggests three interlinked (but false) conclusions i.e., that African states are uniquely pacifistic, that they are particularly constrained against waging interstate war, and that whatever wars do take place are of necessity occasioned by the failure to restrain violent internal challengers such as warlords, secessionists, or dissident political factions. In contrast to these positions, my extensive analyses of primary and secondary data on African wars clearly indicate that African states frequently deploy violent means against one another, albeit through armed intermediaries in multi-actor wars. African `multi-actor wars' are thus overwhelmingly proxy wars; and this, given the predominance of multi-actor wars in the African war record, merits the selection of proxy wars as the phenomenon of interest in the study of African wars from 1950 to 2010. In order to examine the nature of this form of war, and explain when, where and why the use of proxies by states against one another constitutes a compelling explanation of empirical reality, I constructed an original dataset of major African conflicts using conventional (i.e., theory-neutral) indicators of war during the period under examination. This `Events List' contains 27 unique conflicts featuring 101 partnerships between a sponsoring state and one or more intermediaries. For each of these conflicts and partnerships (i.e., levels of analysis for multi-actor war) I added data on relevant variables and deployed a two-stage mixed-methods design to test particular rival hypothesis against my own theoretical propositions about proxy war.

description: "Water is likely to become one of the limiting resources of the next century, as well as one with multiple often conflicting uses." UNCEO NY1994 Presently, at least 1.1 billion of the world's people - about one in five - do not have access to safe water. City of Delhi in India is facing acute water crisis with a current demand supply gap of 236 million gallon per day (MGD) which is expected to widen to 564 MGD by the year 2021.ln view of the growing water crisis, the main objective of the thesis is to look into ways of mitigating the water crises in Delhi by bridging the water demand supply gap using environmental friendly and sustainable methods such as rainwater harvesting in the public green spaces of the region. The thesis begins with a thorough investigation of the Hydrological cycle (natural and urban), contemporary and traditional methods of rainwater harvesting, methods of recharge, and geological, hydro-geological and meteorological data of Delhi region. The regional data is overlaid and analyzed to define priority action areas and a conceptual action plan is recommended for each area. To demonstrate its feasibility, specific study areas are identified in the most stressed zone and investigated across four different scenarios ranging from neighbourhood to regional scale and from minimum to maximum intervention. It is learned through this investigation that public green spaces of Delhi hold great potential in bridging the water demand-supply gap. There are a range of modern and traditional methods available to successfully implement rainwater harvesting projects in these areas. They are technically and financially feasible and can be adopted at various levels depending on the availability of resources. It is found that public green spaces of Delhi which account for about 19% of the total urban area can bridge the water demand-supply gap by a maximum of 12.5%. Cost of the interventions can be amortized within 3 years and there are direct financial and environmental benefits to the local residents. The harvested rainwater can also be successfully used to meet the irrigation demand of the public green spaces partially, resulting in further cost savings to the government.
Dal metodo patrimoniale al right of use model: gli effetti sul bilancio della contabilizzazione del leasing

description: Il 13 gennaio del 2016 lo IASB pubblica l’International Financial Reporting Standards 16 “Leasing”. Il principio, la cui applicazione decorre a partire dai bilanci redatti dal 1° gennaio 2019, è il risultato di un lungo processo di rivisitazione delle regole di rappresentazione delle operazioni di leasing in bilancio. Il nuovo IFRS 16 che sostituisce il precedente principio competente in materia IAS 17 ha mutato la modalità di contabilizzazione della fattispecie contrattuale, abolendo la distinzione tra leasing finanziario e leasing operativo ai fini dell’esposizione in bilancio. Con il passaggio dalla metodologia contabile basata sulla forma giuridica del contratto, a quella la cui finalità è mostrare la sostanza delle operazioni, si attendono importanti cambiamenti su molti valori e indici di bilancio. Con il presente elaborato si vuole mettere in luce gli impatti che il cambiamento intervenuto sulla modalità di contabilizzazione del contratto di leasing può avere sulle diverse voci interessate dalla registrazione del medesimo e come tali cambiamenti si riflettono sui ratios principalmente impiegati dai lettori e utilizzatori del bilancio. L’analisi metterà in evidenza come alcuni indici, come quelli di redditività, siano influenzati negativamente al momento di prima rilevazione, a causa di un doppio effetto di riduzione del reddito netto e di incremento del capitale impiegato nel confronto. Tuttavia, questi ultimi subiscono un’influenza relativa solo al periodo contrattuale in cui si è collocati, con miglioramenti annuali per via dell’incremento del reddito prodotto, data la minore incidenza degli oneri. Con lo scopo di far emergere l’indebitamento sommerso, l’indice su cui verrà posta maggiore attenzione con l’applicazione del nuovo standard è il leverage.
