description: Unemployment in France rose steadily from the early-seventies to the mid-eighties. Since the mid-eighties it has continued to experience fluctuations around a very high average level. Equilibrium unemployment theories are a useful framework within which to account for these developments. A multivariate estimation of the WS-PS model on macroeconomic quarterly data, which includes a larger number of potential unemployment determinants than earlier work, allows an enriched reading of the rise in French unemployment and of its persistence at a high level. We estimated it using a conditional VAR-ECM model, which is based upon the weak exogeneity properties of variables over the 1970-1/1996-4 period. The rise in equilibrium unemployment by 10 points in 25 years can essentially be explained by the rise in tax and social wedge, the slowdown in labour productivity and the deterioration of job security. Terms of exchange and skill mismatch account for only a slim part of the rise in equilibrium unemployment.

description: Cooperatives can handle a loss in several ways. This paper evaluates two primary alternatives: retain in the cooperative or allocate to patrons. The cooperative’s and patrons’ preferences are based on choosing either a tax reduction or redemption reduction. Present value of cash flow is used as the criterion for evaluating choices. The cooperative’s and patrons’ preferences may be in harmony or conflict depending on the marginal income tax rates and pattern of equity redemption. A simple procedure is presented to determine a cooperative or patron preference.

description: Two recently developed theoretical approaches are applied to the Shastry-Sutherland lattice, varying the ratio $J'/J$ between the couplings on the square lattice and on the oblique bonds. A self-consistent perturbation, starting from either Ising or plaquette bond singlets, supports the existence of an intermediate phase between the dimer phase and the Ising phase. This existence is confirmed by the results of a renormalized excitonic method. This method, which satisfactorily reproduces the singlet triplet gap in the dimer phase, confirms the existence of a gapped phase in the interval $0.66

description: SARS-CoV-2 emerged in late 2019. Since then, it has spread to several countries, becoming classified as a pandemic. So far, there is no definitive treatment or vaccine, so the best solution is to prevent transmission between individuals through social distancing. However, it is difficult to measure the effectiveness of these distance measures. Therefore, this study uses data from Google COVID-19 Community Mobility Reports to try to understand the mobility patterns of the Portuguese population during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, the Rt value was modeled for Portugal. Also, the changepoint was calculated for the population mobility patterns. Thus, the change in the mobility pattern was used to understand the impact of social distance measures on the dissemination of COVID-19. As a result, it can be stated that the initial Rt value in Portugal was very close to 3, falling to values close to 1 after 25 days. Social isolation measures were adopted quickly. Furthermore, it was observed that public transport was avoided during the pandemic. Finally, until the emergence of a vaccine or an effective treatment, this is the new normal, and it must be understood that new patterns of mobility, social interaction, and hygiene must be adapted to this reality.

description: Some critics of the cooperative farm supply system point to an erosion of member loyalty and suggest that it indicates that farm supply cooperatives are not currently meeting the needs of their farmer-members. This paper discusses the commitment problem within a transaction-cost-economics framework that analyzes the effects of agricultural specialization on the farm input industry. The analysis shows that: (1) despite complaints by many cooperative managers, farmers are behaving rationally and efficiently in their purchasing practices of specialized inputs, and (2) the cooperative system has responded well by instituting a unique exchange mechanism at the upstream end of the input system.

description: The low energy structure of the energy momentum tensor in several chiral quark models with SU(3) flavor symmetry is analyzed in the presence of external gravitational fields. To this end a derivative expansion in a curved four dimensional space time is considered. This allows us to compute the chiral coefficients $L_{11}$, $L_{12}$, and $L_{13}$, appearing when the model is coupled to gravity and related to space-time curvature properties.

description: ICD coding from electronic clinical records is a manual, time-consuming and expensive process. Code assignment is, however, an important task for billing purposes and database organization. While many works have studied the problem of automated ICD coding from free text using machine learning techniques, most use records in the English language, especially from the MIMIC-III public dataset. This work presents results for a dataset with Brazilian Portuguese clinical notes. We develop and optimize a Logistic Regression model, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), a Gated Recurrent Unit Neural Network and a CNN with Attention (CNN-Att) for prediction of diagnosis ICD codes. We also report our results for the MIMIC-III dataset, which outperform previous work among models of the same families, as well as the state of the art. Compared to MIMIC-III, the Brazilian Portuguese dataset contains far fewer words per document, when only discharge summaries are used. We experiment concatenating additional documents available in this dataset, achieving a great boost in performance. The CNN-Att model achieves the best results on both datasets, with micro-averaged F1 score of 0.537 on MIMIC-III and 0.485 on our dataset with additional documents.

description: We study axisymmetric models of layered protoplanetary discs taking radiative transfer effects into account, and allowing for a residual viscosity in the dead zone. We also explore the effect of different viscosity prescriptions. In addition to the ring instability reported in the first paper of the series we find an oscillatory instability of the dead zone, accompanied by variations of the accretion rate onto the central star. We provide a simplified analytical description explaining the mechanism of the oscillations. Finally, we find that the residual viscosity enables stationary accretion in large regions of layered discs. Based on results obtained with the help of a simple 1-D hydrocode we identify these regions, and discuss conditions in which layered discs can give rise to FU~Orionis phenomena.

description: The evolution of agricultural cooperative thought, theory, and purpose in the United States is reviewed from the standpoint of the reemergence of interest in how cooperatives can provide some of the security and benefits that might be lost with gradual phasing out of federal government farm support programs. By accomplishing group action for self-help, the early development of cooperatives drew considerable attention from economists, social theorists, and politicians. Alternative schools of cooperative thought developed, but most proponents of cooperatives regarded them as having enormous potential to provide a public service role in building a more economically stable and democratic society This paper also surveys how cooperative theory was developed more rigorously in the post-WWII period. It has provided better analytical tools for understanding how and why cooperatives have changed in response to technological and economic developments, as well as to social trends, like individualism. Given the new perspectives on cooperative theory and the scope of changes in how cooperatives operate and are structured, cooperatives have even greater potential for coordinating self-help actions, but this potential needs the support of cooperative education services.

A single vortex along the z axis and a mixed singlet-triplet Cooper pairing model are considered. The spatial profiles of the pair potential, local density of states, supercurrent density, and radially-textured magnetic moment density around the vortex are obtained in the clean limit on the basis of the quasiclassical theory of superconductivity.

description: Cooperatives throughout North America are consolidating at an increasing rate and for a variety of reasons. While many cooperatives merge with others or are acquired to achieve greater economies of scale, several fail due to changes in the external economy, which make them redundant. Often, such redundancy is reflected in a heightened sense of member dissatisfaction. Many argue that such dissatisfaction is likely to arise in cooperatives as a result of principal-agent problems. In order to determine whether or not cooperative managers maintain the same goals as their owners, this study uses data from a member-survey to compare Alberta cooperative members' objectives with those they believe to be held by their cooperatives' managers. An econometric model of the difference between members' expectations and perceptions shows how various socioeconomic variables affect the extent to which these objectives are aligned. The results of this analysis can help cooperative boards design managerial incentive programs to better align their goals with those of the cooperative membership.

description: A common bottleneck for materials discovery is synthesis. While recent methodological advances have resulted in major improvements in the ability to predicatively design novel materials, researchers often still rely on trial-and-error approaches for determining synthesis procedures. In this work, we develop a model that predicts the major product of solid-state reactions. The cardinal feature of this approach is the construction of fixed-length, learned representations of reactions. Precursors are represented as nodes on a `reaction graph', and message-passing operations between nodes are used to embody the interactions between precursors in the reaction mixture. Through an ablation study, it is shown that this framework not only outperforms less physically-motivated baseline methods but also more reliably assesses the uncertainty in its predictions.

Essays on trade liberalization and labour market outcomes
Creators: name: Townsend, James Herbert
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis uses a comprehensive data set to examine the relationship between Canadian labour market outcomes and several changes in the policy environment. The data set, spanning the period 1981-98, is compiled from a number of comparable surveys and contains information on the demographics and job characteristics of individual workers. The first chapter examines the impact that the tariff reductions of the Canada- U.S. Free Trade Agreement (CUSFTA) had on the inter-industry wage structure in the goods producing sector. Previous studies use industry-level data and consequently are unable to control for either differences in worker composition or divergent wage trends for different worker types. These studies find that tariff cuts either had no effect or increased the relative wages of workers in impacted sectors. In contrast, I use data with information on worker characteristics and find that the relative wages of non-union workers in impacted industries decreased. The second chapter investigates the link between the CUSFTA tariff reductions and several labour market outcomes that are potentially linked to industrial productivity. In particular, I examine whether tariff reductions are related to changes in the (i) the size of firm a worker is likely to be employed with, (ii) the probability that a worker will be represented by a union, and (iii) the mean skill level of workers. Although I find evidence that these outcomes have changed over time, none of them seem to be linked directly to CUSFTA. The final chapter, co-authored with David Green, examines the extent to which the declining market outcomes of successive cohorts of job entrants in Canada can be accounted for by changes in the minimum wage, unionization rate, and industrial composition of employment. A flexible density estimator is used, which allows for a comparison between cohorts across the entire wage distribution. The main findings are that for males, changes in unionization and industrial composition can account for about a quarter of the decline in wage outcomes for new job entrants between 1998 and 1981. Similar results are found for females; in addition, the minimum wage provides a "wall" against further erosion for more recent cohorts of entrants.

Electro-magneto-mechanically response of polycrystalline materials: Computational Homogenization via the Virtual Element Method

description: This work presents a study on the computational homogenization of electro-magneto-mechanically coupled problems through the Virtual Element Method (VEM). VE-approaches have great potential for the homogenization of the physical properties of heterogeneous polycrystalline microstructures with anisotropic grains. The flexibility in element shapes can be exploited for creating VE-mesh with a significant lower number of degrees of freedom if compared to finite element (FE) meshes, while maintaining a high accuracy. Evidence that VE-approaches outperform FEM are available in the literature, but only addressing purely-mechanic problems (i.e. elastic properties) and transversely anisotropic materials. The aim of this work is twofold. On one hand, the study compares VE-and FE-based numerical homogenization schemes for electro-mechanically coupled problems for different crystal lattice structures and degrees of elastic anisotropy. Within all considered materials, the VE-approach outperforms the FE-approach for the same number of nodes. On the other hand a hybrid microstructure made up by both electro-mechanical and magneto-mechanical grains is investigated resulting in a electro-magneto-mechanically coupled microstructure. Again, VEM provides a more accurate solution strategy.
Modeling Rare Interactions in Time Series Data Through Qualitative Change: Application to Outcome Prediction in Intensive Care Units

description: Many areas of research are characterised by the deluge of large-scale highly-dimensional time-series data. However, using the data available for prediction and decision making is hampered by the current lag in our ability to uncover and quantify true interactions that explain the outcomes.We are interested in areas such as intensive care medicine, which are characterised by i) continuous monitoring of multivariate variables and non-uniform sampling of data streams, ii) the outcomes are generally governed by interactions between a small set of rare events, iii) these interactions are not necessarily definable by specific values (or value ranges) of a given group of variables, but rather, by the deviations of these values from the normal state recorded over time, iv) the need to explain the predictions made by the model. Here, while numerous data mining models have been formulated for outcome prediction, they are unable to explain their predictions. We present a model for uncovering interactions with the highest likelihood of generating the outcomes seen from highly-dimensional time series data. Interactions among variables are represented by a relational graph structure, which relies on qualitative abstractions to overcome non-uniform sampling and to capture the semantics of the interactions corresponding to the changes and deviations from normality of variables of interest over time. Using the assumption that similar templates of small interactions are responsible for the outcomes (as prevalent in the medical domains), we reformulate the discovery task to retrieve the most-likely templates from the data.

description: Various studies have shown that food structure has an impact on digestion kinetics. We focus here on the effects of gastric and intestinal enzymes (in-vitro digestion) on two canola seed storage proteins, napin and cruciferin. To monitor structure effect we conducted experiments on gels of these proteins at different pHs, yielding different structures and elastic modulus. What is new is to get information on the mechanisms at the lowest scales, using imaging and radiation scattering at large facilities: Synchrotron fluorescence microscopy, X-Ray scattering, at SOLEIL synchrotron, and Small-Angle Neutron Scattering, at Laboratoire L{é}on Brillouin reactor. We can identify the mechanisms at each step and in two distinct scale ranges, observed simultaneously, the one of the individual protein scale and the one of the structure connectivity:-during gelation individual canola proteins are not deeply modified in comparison with their state in solution ; larger scale gel heterogeneity appears due to connectivity or aggregation-in the gastric step (up to 40 min): o at short scale (large q) we see that the proteins disintegration is much slowed down in gels than in solutions, particularly in the gastric phase; o at larger scales (low q), we see that the gel structure is also self-resistant to the action of the enzyme (pepsin).-in the intestinal step, such kinetics differences hold until major disintegration after no more than 15 min.

description: The NEMO-3 detector, which has been operating in the Frejus Underground Laboratory since February 2003, is devoted to searching for neutrinoless double beta decay (ββ0 ν). The expected performance of the detector has been successfully achieved. Half-lives of the two neutrinos double beta decay (ββ2 ν$) have been measured for ^{100} Mo, ^{82}Se, ^{96}Zr, ^{116}Cd and ^{150}Nd. After 265 days of data collection from February 2003 until March 2004, no evidence for neutrinoless double beta decay (ββ0 ν) was found from \sim 7 kg of ^{100} Mo and \sim 1 kg of ^{82} Se. The corresponding lower limits for the half-lives are 3.5 \times 10^{23} years at 90% C.L for ^{100} Mo and 1.9 \times 10^{23} years for ^{82}Se. Limits for the effective Majorana neutrino mass are < \hspace{-0.5mm} m_ν \hspace{-0.5mm} > < 0.7-1.2 eV for ^{100} Mo and \linebreak < \hspace{-0.5mm} m_{ν\hspace{-0.5mm} > < 1.3-3.2 eV for ^{82}Se. Radon is the dominant background today and a Radon-free purification system will be in operation by the end of september 2004. The NEMO-3 expected sensitivity after 5 years of data is 0.2 eV.

description: This article examines farmers’ assessment of the effectiveness of cooperatives as compared with proprietary firms in providing goods and services. The areas of consideration were marketing, market share, business functions, service, stability, and public involvement. Farmers indicated that cooperatives’ greatest advantages were in the areas of service and public involvement. Respondents indicated that cooperatives were more willing to provide low profit products and services, establish programs that best met needs, and provide low profit products and services, establish programs that best met needs, and provide a more dependable source of supplies and services. They also provided a greater enhancement of welfare and in general reduced the risks facing farmers.

description: There is only limited experimental evidence for the existence in nature of phase transitions of Ehrenfest order greater than two. However, there is no physical reason for their non-existence, and such transitions certainly exist in a number of theoretical models in statistical physics and lattice field theory. Here, higher-order transitions are analysed through the medium of partition function zeros. Results concerning the distributions of zeros are derived as are scaling relations between some of the critical exponents.

description: The Western and Central Pacific longline fishery is subject to a catch limit for U.S. permitted vessels, which is administered by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). In 2023, the bigeye tuna (BET) limit for the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) Convention Area was 3,554 metric tons (t) and applies to all pelagic longline vessels with Hawaii permits fishing inside the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) around the Hawaiian Islands as well as those vessels fishing without an American Samoa permit in the high seas. To forecast whether the fishery will exceed this catch limit, the Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) uses historical data to project future catches.
Entanglement dynamics for two interacting spins
Creators: name: Novaes, Marcel
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the dynamical generation of entanglement for a very simple system: a pair of interacting spins, s1 and s2, in a constant magnetic field. Two different situations are considered:(a) s1 ->\infty, s2 = 1/2 and (b) s1 = s2 ->\infty, corresponding, respectively, to a quantum degree of freedom coupled to a semiclassical one (a qubit in contact with an environment) and a fully semiclassical system, which in this case displays chaotic behavior. Relations between quantum entanglement and classical dynamics are investigated.

Retrieval of Digital Artefacts from TeamSpeak and Discord: A Forensic Investigation and Analysis of the Malicious Use of Gaming Communication Clients.
Creators: name: Bryant, Oliver
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: 80303 Computer System Security
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Gaming communication clients such as Discord and TeamSpeak have started to become an active choice for committing acts of crime, from being used to groom children to being used to organise crimes. The forensic examination of modern gaming communication clients has gone largely unexplored. This paper aims to understand the effectiveness of current moderation tools used to filter online abuse and to look at the possibility of extracting terrestrial artefacts that are left after use from these clients. In addition, a review into current legal cases highlights the need for further research into this specialist area of communication clients. Potential artefacts that may be detected during research includes data such as timestamps, conversations and transferred files. This research aims to contribute towards helping fill gaps by forensically analysing TeamSpeak and Discord.

description: A comparison of regional dairy cooperatives with investor-owned dairy firms from the period 1976-87 produced empirical findings that are at variance with the hypotheses suggested by the theory of cooperatives. The cooperatives in the sample performed significantly better than the IOFs when compared by leverage, liquidity, asset turnover, and coverage ratios, while the rate of return to equity was not found to be significantly different. Techniques are also proposed for valuing the nonmarket aspects of cooperatives that are not captured by financial ratio analysis.

description: This paper reports the results of a survey of attitudes of commercial farmers and supply cooperative managers about agricultural supply cooperatives. Cooperative managers and farmers frequently made significantly different responses to questionnaire statements. With a few expectations, farm size and farmer age did not appear to influence perceptions about supply cooperatives. Whether a farmer was a cooperative member was important in some cases. Lower prices in lieu of easy credit and patronage refunds were found to be acceptable to farmers, but not at the expense of good service. Managers placed great importance on member loyalty to the supply cooperative without regard to price consideration.

description: Factors that influenced the decision by dairy farmers to select cooperatives milk handlers versus proprietary handlers were examined. In a 1989 survey, Tennessee dairy farmers were asked to indicate reasons that influenced their choice of milk handler, such as better price, an assured market, and better service. Characteristics of the dairy farmers were then compared between those who selected a specific reason and those who did not. Better service and an assured market were the most often cited reasons by cooperative members, and higher price and lower deductions were cited more often by nonmembers. Farmers who cited price as a reason tended to have larger dairy farms, be less diversified, and more indebted than those who did not cite price as a reason. Those who selected service as a reason had more dairying experience and were less indebted than those who did not select service.

description: A theory for analyzing incidental consumption in a single site recreation demand model is presented. We show that incidental consumption on a recreation trip, such as a visit to see friends or a visit to a second recreation site, can be treated as a complementary good and analyzed using conventional theory. We also show that the analysis applies whether the side trips are incidental or joint. In a simple application we find that failing to account for incidental consumption appears to create little bias in valuing recreation sites.
The Traditional Knowledge Advantage: Indigenous peoples’ knowledge in climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies

description: Higher temperatures, wildlife extinction, rising sea levels, droughts, floods, heat-related diseases and economic losses are among the consequences of climate change. Climate change disproportionally affects the poorest and most marginalized communities living in vulnerable regions, among them indigenous peoples, whose livelihoods depend on natural resources. Nevertheless, indigenous peoples are also the world’s “advance guard” of climate change (Galloway McLean 2010). While they are generally depicted as victims of poverty and vulnerability to climate change, it would also be appropriate to emphasize their sensitivity to the environment, adaptive capacity and resilience, as manifested by their ability to modify their behaviour in response to changing climatic conditions (Nakashima et al. 2012). Indigenous peoples’ knowledge can provide important insights into the processes of observation, adaptation and mitigation of climate change consequences.

description: Despite the rapid rise in complex carbohydrate consumption over the last twenty-five years, fresh potato consumption has fallen by over 50%. Fresh potato growers and retailers alike need to know whether these changes reflect consumer responses to changing relative prices or incomes, or whether they are due to changes in consumer tastes. This paper uses a linear approximation almost ideal demand system (LA/AIDS) to investigate the effect of relative prices, expenditures, and a set of socioeconomic variables on complex carbohydrate demand. Estimation results show that the socioeconomic variables explain some of the changes in demand, but a significant amount remains as evidence of a change in consumer tastes.
New possibility of the ground state of quarter-filled one-dimensional strongly correlated electronic system interacting with localized spins

description: We study numerically the ground state properties of the one-dimensional quarter-filled strongly correlated electronic system interacting antiferromagnetically with localized $S=1/2$ spins. It is shown that the charge-ordered state is significantly stabilized by the introduction of relatively small coupling with the localized spins. When the coupling becomes large the spin and charge degrees of freedom behave quite independently and the ferromagnetism is realized. Moreover, the coexistence of ferromagnetism with charge order is seen under strong electronic interaction. Our results suggest that such charge order can be easily controlled by the magnetic field, which possibly give rise to the giant negative magnetoresistance, and its relation to phthalocyanine compounds is discussed.
