description: COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped our world in a timescale much shorter than what we can understand. Particularities of SARS-CoV-2, such as its persistence in surfaces and the lack of a curative treatment or vaccine against COVID-19, have pushed authorities to apply restrictive policies to control its spreading. As data drove most of the decisions made in this global contingency, their quality is a critical variable for decision-making actors, and therefore should be carefully curated. In this work, we analyze the sources of error in typically reported epidemiological variables and usual tests used for diagnosis, and their impact on our understanding of COVID-19 spreading dynamics. We address the existence of different delays in the report of new cases, induced by the incubation time of the virus and testing-diagnosis time gaps, and other error sources related to the sensitivity/specificity of the tests used to diagnose COVID-19. Using a statistically-based algorithm, we perform a temporal reclassification of cases to avoid delay-induced errors, building up new epidemiologic curves centered in the day where the contagion effectively occurred. We also statistically enhance the robustness behind the discharge/recovery clinical criteria in the absence of a direct test, which is typically the case of non-first world countries, where the limited testing capabilities are fully dedicated to the evaluation of new cases. Finally, we applied our methodology to assess the evolution of the pandemic in Chile through the Effective Reproduction Number $R_t$, identifying different moments in which data was misleading governmental actions. In doing so, we aim to raise public awareness of the need for proper data reporting and processing protocols for epidemiological modelling and predictions.

However, far fewer studies have investigated the bar's stellar population properties, which carry valuable independent information regarding the bar's formation history. Here we conduct a detailed analysis of chemical abundance distributions ([Fe/H] and [Mg/Fe]) in the on-bar and off-bar regions to study the azimuthal variation of star formation history (SFH) in the inner Galaxy. We find that the on-bar and off-bar stars at Galactocentric radii 3 $< r_{\rm GC}

description: The research was carried out during the time period 2009-2013 on six organic farms with strawberry production and five farms with conventional strawberry production. The weighted average unit cost for organic farms for the whole period 2009-2013, was 3.09 PLN/kg while in the conventional strawberry farms it was 2.33 PLN/kg. The level of yields turned out to be a contributing factor to the level of units cots (the higher the yields the lower the unit costs) what is reflected by a highly significant negative correlation between organic production unit costs and the level of yields on the hectare basis. Improvements of the machines due to lowering of units costs are an absolute must in organic strawberry production both with a view to enhancing competitiveness and to promoting organic growing.
Inclination Effects and Beaming in Black Hole X-ray Binaries
Creators: name: Narayan, Ramesh
name: McClintock, Jeffrey E.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate the dependence of observational properties of black hole X-ray binaries on the inclination angle i of their orbits. We find the following: (1) Transient black hole binaries show no trend in their quiescent X-ray luminosities as a function of i, suggesting that the radiation is not significantly beamed. This is consistent with emission from an accretion disk. If the X-rays are from a jet, then the Lorentz factor gamma of the jet is less than 1.24 at the 90% confidence level. (2) The X-ray binary 4U1543-47 with i of order 21 degrees has a surprisingly strong fluorescent iron line in the high soft state. Quantifying an earlier argument by Park et al. (2004), we conclude that if the continuum X-ray emission in this source is from a jet, then gamma < 1.04. (3) None of the known binaries has cos i < 0.25 or i > 75 degrees. This fact, plus the lack of eclipses among the 20 black hole binaries in our sample, strongly suggests at the 99.5% confidence level that systems with large inclination angles are hidden from view. The obscuration could be the result of disk flaring, as suggested by Milgrom (1978) for neutron star X-ray binaries. (4) Transient black hole binaries with i ~ 70-75 degrees have significantly more complex X-ray light curves than systems with i < 65 degrees. This may be the result of variable obscuration and/or variable height above the disk of the radiating gas.

Advocates, experts or collaborative epistemic communities? : Defining the scientific role of NGOs in international environmental negotiations
Creators: name: Johnson, Lindsay Emma
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis analyzes the extent to which nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are able to act as experts and participate in scientific communities surrounding international environmental negotiations. It argues that in international environmental negotiations of a complex, scientifically-uncertain nature, many NGOs have been able to contribute as experts on issues of policy and science. Rather than engaging in "symbolic politics," many NGOs have oriented their activities towards developing expertise and scientific research by working in collaboration with a number of scientific communities. The evidence from NGO activity in three case studies: the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement (GLWQA) and the North American Waterbird Conservation Plan (NAWCP) - suggests that many NGOs are able to produce knowledge, commit to a shared set of normative and causal beliefs based on scientific principles, exercise a similar set of criteria for validating knowledge, and work in partnership-mode with other members of the scientific community in order to advance the shared cause of their respective international environmental negotiation. Several causes are identified to explain why many NGOs shift their activities away from advocacy and symbolic politics and towards developing expertise. The empirical findings of these case studies have implications for several theories of international relations. Theorists of international relations have, for the most part, described the activities of environmental NGOs in terms of their ability to persuade, pressure and gain leverage over much more powerful organizations. Theoretical concepts such as the "transnational advocacy network" and the "epistemic community" underestimate the scientific role that many NGOs have been able to play in complex and scientifically-uncertain issue areas such as climate change, water pollution and waterbird conservation. This thesis asserts that an alternative theoretical concept is necessary to account for the expert role of NGOs in several international environmental negotiations. Specifically, it coins and develops the term collaborative epistemic community as a more inclusive and accurate concept that accounts for the multitude of participants within expert communities and the scientific role of NGOs demonstrated in this study.

description: A spin one-half particle propagating in a de Sitter background has a one parameter family of states which transform covariantly under the isometry group of the background. These states are the fermionic analogues of the alpha-vacua for a scalar field. We shall show how using a point-source propagator for a fermion in an alpha-state produces divergent perturbative corrections. These corrections cannot be used to cancel similar divergences arising from scalar fields in bosonic alpha-vacua since they have an incompatible dependence on the external momenta. The theory can be regularized by modifying the propagator to include an antipodal source.

description: The aim of the study was to determine the income generated from accommodation and food service activities in agrotouristic farms operating within municipalities located in areas belonging to Bialowieża National Park and Biebrza National Park. The surveys were conducted in 2010 and 2011 in 50 agrotouristic farms. The obtained results indicate that the direct surplus generated from the accommodation services in farm amounted to on average around 7000 PLN. The annual direct surplus generated from the accommodation and food service activities in almost ¼ of the farms reached the level between 10,000 and 15,000 PLN, and in 8 farms (16%) was in the range of 25000-37500 PLN. The POR indicator value in 22 farms (44%) was higher than 50 PLN, and in 19 (38%) ranged from 20 to 48 PLN. The PAR indicator value in almost half of the farms was less than 3 PLN, and in seven (14%) did not exceed 1 PLN.
Hohenberg-Mermin-Wagner type theorems for equilibrium models of flocking

description: We study a class of two-dimensional models of classical hard-core particles with Vicsek-type "exchange interaction" that aligns the directions of motion of nearby particles. By extending the Hohenberg-Mermin-Wagner theorem for the absence of spontaneous magnetization and the McBryan-Spencer bound for correlation functions, we prove that the models do not spontaneously break the rotational symmetry in their equilibrium states at any nonzero temperature. We thus conclude that the mobility of particles alone does not account for the spontaneous symmetry breaking in Vicsek type models. The origin of the symmetry breaking must be sought in the absence of detailed balance condition, or, equivalently, in the nonequilibrium nature.

There was analyzed overall expenditure in the national and EU agricultural budget on the agricultural sector in Poland. This provided a basis to conclude that neither convergence nor beta sigma does not happen. We can found only divergence between expenses, manifested in increasingly conditionality linked to the development of domestic agriculture and rural areas with those from the EU.
Effects of atmospheric electric fields on detection of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays

description: We show that atmospheric electric fields may affect the cosmic ray observations in several ways and may lead to an overestimation of the cosmic ray energies. The electric field in thunderclouds can be as high as a few kV/cm. This field can accelerate the shower electrons and can feed some additional energy into the shower. Therefore, ground array observations in certain weather conditions may overestimate the energy of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays if they don't take this effect into account. In addition, the electric field can bend the muon trajectories and affect the direction and energy reconstruction of inclined showers. Finally, there is a possibility of an avalanche multiplication of the shower electrons due to a runaway breakdown, which may lead to a significant miscalculation of the cosmic ray energy.

description: In this paper the impact of selected determinants on farm succession in Poland is analysed. The study shows that socio-demographic factors associated primarily with the characteristics of families, particularly of farm managers, had a significant influence on the family transfers of agricultural holdings. The impact of micro-economic and spatial factors on farm succession was observed as well. However, the research results indicate different scales and characters of succession determinants. Behind this variability was an institutional change linked to Poland’s accession to the European Union and changes in the economy. The paper argues that this context, along with conducive social and legal background, reinforced a generational change in the sector. Analysis at the micro level was prepared on the basis of empirical data from the longitudinal IERiGŻ-PIB surveys conducted in 76 villages located across Poland with the use of multinomial dependent variable logit models. A unique feature of the study is an exploration of farm succession as an intra-family and generational phenomenon, relating to the different phases of family life cycle, as well as to kinship relationships. Moreover, unlike the majority of succession studies, the presented research distinguishes three types of succession (inter-generational, intra-generational and reverse inter-generational) and is based on information concerning actual changes in surveyed rural households, not only respondents’ declarations about the future.

The study is a fi rm-level analysis using an unbalanced panel between the years 2002 and 2011 in Sweden. The results show that these fi rms are positively affected by employees with formal education related to the sector. Higher knowledge levels have a greater impact than lower levels. External knowledge, such as localised spillovers, is also important, but the results on this factor are more ambiguous.

description: In the development of a market economy, the ability to cooperate is a major factor determining the competitiveness of economic actors. With complex instruments intended to stimulate cooperation among the actors in farming, the agri-food chain, forestry and rural development, strengthening cooperation is a priority of the Common Agricultural Policy in the current European Union programming period. This paper evaluates the development of different forms of vertical and horizontal cooperation between actors in Hungarian agriculture in the period 2007-2013. Our definition of cooperation is based on a regular market relationship,and our analysis includes not only formal forms of horizontal and vertical cooperation but also the informal networks offering business benefits for producers. The main conclusion is that, owing to the continuing low level of horizontal cooperation in Hungary, high-level vertical integration ensures that producers can achieve a favourable negotiating position, and this in turn reduces the potential for the development of horizontal cooperation. Informal relationships, such as doing favours without charge, are not negligible ways of accessing resources, especially for small farms. A development path for agricultural cooperation in Hungary might be for actors to make collective investments in order to increase value-added and utilise economies of scale, and to organise themselves into alliances, associations, networks and clusters. Beyond the benefits originating from market concentration, these steps could stimulate the dissemination of expertise, improve efficiency and increase innovation capacities.

description: The quantized Hall conductivity of integer and fractional quantum Hall (IQH and FQH) states is directly related to a topological invariant, the many-body Chern number. The conventional calculation of this invariant in interacting systems requires a family of many-body wave functions parameterized by twist angles in order to calculate the Berry curvature. In this paper, we demonstrate how to extract the Chern number given a single many-body wave function, without knowledge of the Hamiltonian. For FQH states, our method requires one additional integer invariant as input: the number of $2π$ flux quanta, $s$, that must be inserted to obtain a topologically trivial excitation. As we discuss, $s$ can be obtained in principle from the degenerate set of ground state wave functions on the torus, without knowledge of the Hamiltonian. We perform extensive numerical simulations involving IQH and FQH states to validate these methods.

description: Hungarian cereal production is situated in the zone of Europe which is most vulnerable to the effects of changes in climatic conditions. The objectives of this paper are to present the calibration and validation of the 4M crop simulation model using farm-level observed representative values, and to estimate the potential yields of winter wheat and maize production for the next three decades. Analysing the differences between the estimated and observed yields, we identified as key influencing factors the heterogeneity of technologies and of land quality. A trend of slightly decreasing yields is projected for the next three decades for both cereals. The precise impact of environmental change on crop yields will depend on which climate scenario occurs.

description: We report on preliminary measurements of time-dependent CP asymmetries in neutral B decays to CP eigenstates with transition amplitudes that are dominated by penguin-type loops. The results are obtained from a data sample of up to 227 million Upsilon(4S)->BB-bar decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B-meson Factory at SLAC. The amplitudes of the effective mixing-induced CP asymmetries, sin(2beta)_eff, are derived from decay-time distributions of events in which one neutral B meson is fully reconstructed in a final state without charm and the other B meson is determined to be either a B0 or B0-bar from its decay products.

description: This study analyses the temporal as well as the spatial shift in cropping pattern in Andhra Pradesh during the period from 1971 to 2009. The temporal associations between crop diversity, weather and economic variables have been examined to understand adaptation dynamics by means of cropping pattern shift. We find a significant impact of rabi (winter) season temperature and kharif (summer) season rainfall on cropping diversity. Along with mean weather, annual rainfall distribution has a significant, positive influence on crop diversity. The intra-seasonal distribution of dry days during rabi and kharif has a heterogeneous impact on crop diversity in districts of Andhra Pradesh. Within the state, geographical redistribution of rice area over the years can be considered as adaptation to climatic risk; however, sustainability of the emerging cropping pattern is under question due to a declining share of dry land crops during the study period. Drawing from the results, improving cropping intensity, increasing use of technology inputs and employing a season-wise incentive policy can be useful measures for sustainable diversification of the crop sector in the state.

description: A two-dimensional fluid, stirred at high wavenumbers and damped by both viscosity and linear friction, is modeled by a statistical field theory. The fluid's long-distance behavior is studied using renormalization-group (RG) methods, as begun by Forster, Nelson, and Stephen [Phys. Rev. A 16, 732 (1977)]. With friction, which dissipates energy at low wavenumbers, one expects a stationary inverse energy cascade for strong enough stirring. While such developed turbulence is beyond the quantitative reach of perturbation theory, a combination of exact and perturbative results suggests a coherent picture of the inverse cascade. The zero-friction fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT) is derived from a generalized time-reversal symmetry and implies zero anomalous dimension for the velocity even when friction is present. Thus the Kolmogorov scaling of the inverse cascade cannot be explained by any RG fixed point. The beta function for the dimensionless coupling ghat is computed through two loops; the ghat^3 term is positive, as already known, but the ghat^5 term is negative. An ideal cascade requires a linear beta function for large ghat, consistent with a Padé approximant to the Borel transform. The conjecture that the Kolmogorov spectrum arises from an RG flow through large ghat is compatible with other results, but the accurate k^{-5/3} scaling is not explained and the Kolmogorov constant is not estimated. The lack of scale invariance should produce intermittency in high-order structure functions, as observed in some but not all numerical simulations of the inverse cascade. When analogous RG methods are applied to the one-dimensional Burgers equation using an FDT-preserving dimensional continuation, equipartition is obtained instead of a cascade--in agreement with simulations.

description: Our study aims to highlight the role of digital skills in the employability of young graduates in the professional context of delegated management of public services in Morocco, regarding the theoretical approaches developed in this framework. Through a qualitative study, we will present initial results relating to the context of the study, while targeting young people recruited within the company studied with a view to confirming and enriching the existing conceptual framework.

In addition, the results show that the academic training provided by Moroccan universities/higher education establishments does not correspond perfectly to the needs of companies, particularly in the field of digitalization. Furthermore, self-training and continuing education play a sine qua non role in filling the skills gap for graduates.

description: We solved the instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter equation for heavy pseudoscalars in different kernels, where the kernels are obtained using linear scalar potential plus one gluon exchange vector potentials in Feynman gauge, Landau gauge, Coulomb gauge and time-component Coulomb gauge. We obtained the mass spectra of heavy pseudoscalars, and compared the results between different kernels, found that using the same parameters we obtain the smallest mass splitting in time-component Coulomb gauge, the similar largest mass splitting in Feynman and Coulomb gauges, middle size splitting in Landau gauge.

description: In Africa, there have been successes in cassava research in terms of the development of production technologies, particularly improved varieties with high yield potential. The study addresses the question of whether and to what extent adoption of improved cassava varieties has led to rural poverty reduction in four African countries, namely Tanzania, Democratic Republic of Congo, Sierra Leone and Zambia. Data for the study come from a household survey conducted in the above-mentioned countries through a multinational-CGIAR support to agricultural research for development of strategic crops (SARD-SC) project in Africa. Given the observational nature of the data, a parametric approach (endogenous switching regression model) is applied. The results indicate that the model detects selectivity bias. Accounting for the bias, we find that adoption of cassava technology has resulted in an approximately 10 percentage point reduction in the poverty rate. Given an adoption rate of 34 per cent and a 10 percentage point reduction in the poverty rate, an estimated 24,309 households (equivalent to 194,469 individuals) have managed to move out of poverty in these four countries as a result of adoption of the technology. We also find that adoption of the technology has benefitted non-poor and female-headed households, relative to poor and male-headed households. The results present important evidence in favour of promoting cassava technology in a targeted fashion as part of an effective poverty reduction and sustained agricultural growth strategy in Africa. Considering the large realised and even more pronounced potential impacts of the adoption of cassava technology on poverty reduction, it is vital that regional and global development organisations should continue supporting the existing cassava improvement programme to sustain the technology development efforts in the continent.

The post-Newtonian mean anomaly advance as further post-Keplerian parameter in pulsar binary systems

description: The post-Newtonian gravitoelectric secular rate of the mean anomaly M is worked out for a two-body system in the framework of the General Theory of Relativity. The possibility of using such an effect, which is different from the well known decrease of the orbital period due to gravitational wave emission, as a further post-Keplerian parameter in binary systems including one pulsar is examined. The resulting effect is almost three times larger than the periastron advance \dotω. E.g., for the recently discovered double pulsar system PSR J0737-3039 A+B it would amount to -47.79 deg yr^-1. This implies that it could be extracted from the linear part of a quadratic fit of the orbital phase because the uncertainties both in the linear drift due to the mean motion and in the quadratic shift due to the gravitational wave are smaller. The availability of such additional post-Keplerian parameter would be helpful in further constraining the General Theory of Relativity, especially for such systems in which some of the other post-Keplerian parameters can be measured with limited accuracy. Moreover, also certain pulsar-white dwarf binary systems, characterized by circular orbits like PSR B1855+09 and a limited number of measured post-Keplerian parameters, could be used for constraining competing theories of gravity.

description: Smallholder farmers account for over 90 per cent of domestic rice production in Tanzania. Their participation in markets provides opportunities for growth through income and employment. However, their ability to participate is hampered by personal, household and institutional constraints. We adopt the double hurdle model to explore determinants of market participation by rice farmers using data collected from selected rice growing regions in Tanzania. The decision to participate in the market is affected by the cropped area, yield, distance to the market and type of variety grown. Besides these factors, the quantity marketed is affected by the existence of a market within the village. There is need for labour-saving technologies for area expansion and yield improvement.

description: Truthfulness judgments are a fundamental step in the process of fighting misinformation, as they are crucial to train and evaluate classifiers that automatically distinguish true and false statements. Usually such judgments are made by experts, like journalists for political statements or medical doctors for medical statements. In this paper, we follow a different approach and rely on (non-expert) crowd workers. This of course leads to the following research question: Can crowdsourcing be reliably used to assess the truthfulness of information and to create large-scale labeled collections for information credibility systems? To address this issue, we present the results of an extensive study based on crowdsourcing: we collect thousands of truthfulness assessments over two datasets, and we compare expert judgments with crowd judgments, expressed on scales with various granularity levels. We also measure the political bias and the cognitive background of the workers, and quantify their effect on the reliability of the data provided by the crowd.

description: Current approaches to the annotation process focus on annotation schemas, languages for annotation, or are very application driven. In this paper it is proposed that a more flexible architecture for annotation requires a knowledge component to allow for flexible search and navigation of the annotated material. In particular, it is claimed that a general approach must take into account the needs, competencies, and goals of the producers, annotators, and consumers of the annotated material. We propose that a user-model based approach is, therefore, necessary.

description: Based on a rate equation model for single-mode two-level lasers, two algorithms for stochastically simulating the dynamics and steady-state behaviour of micro- and nanolasers are described in detail. Both methods lead to steady-state photon numbers and statistics characteristic of lasers, but one of the algorithms is shown to be significantly more efficient. This algorithm, known as Gillespie's First Reaction Method (FRM), gives up to a thousandfold reduction in computation time compared to earlier algorithms, while also circumventing numerical issues regarding time-increment size and ordering of events. The FRM is used to examine intra-cavity photon distributions, and it is found that the numerical results follow the analytics exactly. Finally, the FRM is applied to a set of slightly altered rate equations, and it is shown that both the analytical and numerical results exhibit features that are typically associated with the presence of strong inter-emitter correlations in nanolasers.
