гармония человека и природы.

description: Осмысление природы в художественно-философском ключе стало одним из характерных способов выражения авторской и культурной концепции Булата Сулейманова. В настоящей статье исследуется значимость концепта «природа» и особенностей пейзажа в контексте поэтики природоописания, соединенного с эмоционально-оценочным компонентом. Понимание мира и осознание места человека в этом мире представлено не только душевными метаморфозами, но и особым изображением природы, оживотворением стихий. Культурная парадигма поэта и писателя надэпохальна, в ней выражена потребность поделиться своим духовным опытом с современниками и будущими поколениями. Уникальность такого типа творчества состоит в том, что сюжет каждого произведения при драматизме, лиричности и поиске ценности и смысла человеческой жизни содержит интенцию для особого понимания природы, желание обрести гармонию с мирозданием на вселенском уровне.

description: Ultrafast control of light-matter interactions constitutes a crucial feature in view of new technological frontiers of information processing. However, conventional optical elements are either static or feature switching speeds that are extremely low with respect to the timescales at which it is possible to control light. Here, we exploit high-quality-factor engineered epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) modes of a metal-insulator-metal nanocavity to realize an all-optical ultrafast modulation of the reflectance of light at a tailored wavelength. Our approach is based on the presence of the two, spectrally separated, ENZ absorption resonances of the cavity. Optical pumping of the system at its high energy ENZ mode leads to a strong red-shift of the low energy mode because of the transient increase of the local dielectric function, which leads to a sub-3-ps control of the reflectance at a specific wavelength with a relative modulation depth approaching 120%.

description: Our current dietary habits are the major cause of obesity and related diseases change. Denmark introduced fat tax in 2011 that was abolished in 2012 because of detrimental economic impacts. However, post-tax studies show that the tax was beneficial in reducing saturated fat consumption from the targeted foods. Demand- side measures have been proven to be efficient at reducing unhealthy foods. This study aims to assess the distributional effects impact of introducing a Danish-type fat tax (DFT) equivalent on food demand in Spain. Alternative tax policy scenarios have been considered taking into account policy that compensate consumers with subsidies form the taxes and otherwise. In the case where the taxed food categories only represent a subset of total food categories, a revenue-neutral approach has been designed. Expenditure as well as own- and cross-price and nutrient elasticities were calculated from an EASI food demand system. The tax reduced the consumption of the food products with saturated fat or lipid higher than 2.3%. Total lipid declined while carbohydrate intake increased. The effect is significantly reduced when revenue-neutral scenarios are considered. Distributional effect of the tax is more evident on household s heads who are obese, overweight, and younger.

description: Although climate change may severely impact agriculture, farmers can mitigate it by adapting to their new climates. Using US data, we estimate the amount of potential loss in agricultural profits, due to climate change, that can be reduced by agricultural adaptation. We propose two panel frameworks that differ only in their fixed effects specifications, where this difference allows us to estimate the climate change impact on agricultural profits with or without adaptation taken into account. Comparing these estimates, we find that adaptation has the potential to offset about two-thirds of the end-of-this-century loss in agricultural profits potentially resulting from climate chang Acknowledgement :

description: In many applications, there is a need to predict the effect of an intervention on different individuals from data. For example, which customers are persuadable by a product promotion? which patients should be treated with a certain type of treatment? These are typical causal questions involving the effect or the change in outcomes made by an intervention. The questions cannot be answered with traditional classification methods as they only use associations to predict outcomes. For personalised marketing, these questions are often answered with uplift modelling. The objective of uplift modelling is to estimate causal effect, but its literature does not discuss when the uplift represents causal effect. Causal heterogeneity modelling can solve the problem, but its assumption of unconfoundedness is untestable in data. So practitioners need guidelines in their applications when using the methods. In this paper, we use causal classification for a set of personalised decision making problems, and differentiate it from classification. We discuss the conditions when causal classification can be resolved by uplift (and causal heterogeneity) modelling methods. We also propose a general framework for causal classification, by using off-the-shelf supervised methods for flexible implementations. Experiments have shown two instantiations of the framework work for causal classification and for uplift (causal heterogeneity) modelling, and are competitive with the other uplift (causal heterogeneity) modelling methods.

description: This study assesses the impacts of adoption of improved soybean varieties and agronomic practices on soybean yields and net crop incomes in Malawi using data collected from over 1200 soybean growing households. The yield and crop income effects were analyzed using stochastic dominance analysis (SDA), propensity score matching (PSM) and inverse-probability-weighted regression adjustment (IPWRA). The results from the SDA show that the cumulative distribution functions for soybean yield and net crop income for the adopters of improved soybean varieties and agronomic practices significantly dominate those of the non-adopters. This indicates if randomly chosen, there is a higher probability that the adopters will on average have higher soybean yield and net crop income than the non-adopters. The results from the PSM and IPWRA show that adoption of improved soybean varieties and agronomic practices increase soybean yields by 193-198 kg/ha and net crop income by 24 USD/ha. This implies that adoption of improved soybean varieties and agronomic practices increases soybean yields by 20% and net crop income by 19%. The results point to the need for further scaling up of seeds of improved soybean varieties and complementary agronomic practices for greater adoption and impact on the livelihoods of smallholder farmers in Malawi.

description: Private and public initiatives worldwide encourage a shift towards more sustainable production and consumption patterns, including bioplastics. These are, however, essentially produced from food crops. Given the manifold support schemes for the promotion of bioenergy, bioplastic producers also claim for targeted policies. This can further increase competition for biomass globally, with unintended consequences for food prices and the environment. A comprehensive analysis of the effects of a 5% target for bioplastic consumption is presented based on Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) linked to environmental indicators. Both fossil-based plastics and bioplastics are implemented in the GTAP 9 database. Two scenarios are defined: scenario 1 increases consumption taxes on fossil-based plastics while scenario 2 decreases them for bioplastics . Although both generate an expansion of the sector, the tax performs better in economic and also environmental terms, partially due to the substitution for oilseeds in the major producing regions, which even generates afforestation in carbon-rich areas. Only the target in scenario 1 generates an increase in GDP per CO2-eq. saved at global scale. The study shows the usefulness of CGE models as a tool to analyze cost-effectiveness of Bioeconomy-related policies, provided that emerging bio-based sectors and novel technologies are adequately implemented.

description: We discuss from the condensed-matter point of view the recent idea that the Poisson fluctuations of cosmological constant about zero could be a source of the observed dark energy. We argue that the thermodynamic fluctuations of Lambda are much bigger. Since the amplitude of fluctuations is proportional to V^{-1/2}, where V is the volume of the Universe, the present constraint on the cosmological constant provides the lower limit for V, which is much bigger than the volume within the cosmological horizon.

Orthodox stabilization policies and stagflation: A neo-structuralist analysis of inflation and ouput effects in Nigeria
Creators: name: Ekweani, Chukwunenye Henry
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study applies a neo-structuralist model of stagflationary monetary restraint and contractionary devaluation in a semi-industrialized economy to the case of Nigeria in 1960-1986. The model is based on the assumption that significant outlays for firms' working-capital needs are financed with short-term credit obtained from the informal (curb) credit market. In this setting, orthodox stabilization policies that increase the marginal interest rate in the curb market may lead to short-term stagflation via their effects on supply. The study is conducted using a model of the Nigerian economy that explicitly incorporates salient "stylized facts" about its financial and real sectors. These stylized facts include credit rationing, inflationary expectations, reliance on curb-market finance, and ex post product-price adjustment. Partial equilibrium in the financial sector is attained quickly through variations in the curb-market rate, Financial-sector disturbances impact real macrovariables via the respective effects of the curb-market rate on aggregate supply and demand. The econometric evidence shows that the necessary conditions for the short-term stagflationary effects of a credit squeeze, a reserve-deposit-ratio increase, or financial liberalization are satisfied in Nigeria. A large stagflationary bias implies that the contractionary demand-side effects of monetary restraint are accompanied by supply-side inflation. The sufficient conditions for stagflation are satisfied for each monetary-policy instrument tested. Given the constraint imposed on working-capital finance by credit rationing, a credit squeeze reduces output growth and increases inflation by a greater proportion than the case without credit rationing. The demand-side adjustments to monetary restraint are borne mostly by investment rather than by consumption with adverse consequences for growth. While interest costs are transmitted quickly into inflation, the deflationary demand-side effects of monetary restraint are slow in coming. Devaluation has contractionary output effects with a small impact on the trade deficit coming from the adjustment of real imports. The concluding chapter proposes a policy plan for Nigeria that is designed to mitigate both the inflationary and investment-reducing effects of orthodox stabilization policies. The short-run stabilization package includes a reserve-deposit-ratio increase and the expansion of bank credit to firms implemented under a more market-oriented scheme, a gradual naira devaluation, and a reduction in government spending.
The benefits and burdens of congressional primary elections

description: When studying who wins and who loses races for the U.S. House of Representatives, the general election is rarely placed into a context of a larger election cycle. The general election needs to be examined in relation to the primary election in order to understand more completely the relative advantages or disadvantages that candidates bring with them to the general election. In this dissertation I explore the potential benefits and burdens that primaries have on candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives in the 1994 elections. Using two original data sets, this dissertation explores the ways in which primary divisiveness, primary spending and the placement of the primary in the election cycle ultimately influence the outcome of the general election. Focusing specifically on candidates' primary election resource expenditures I test whether candidates spend significant sums of money on their primaries; whether primary spending depletes the resources that candidates would have spent on the general election; and whether primary divisiveness and primary spending leave any lasting impact on candidates' ability to win the general election. The results suggest that though incumbent, challenger and open seat candidates with competitive primaries spend more money to fight their primaries than their unchallenged or underchallenged counterparts, the potentially negative effects of these expenditures do not influence the outcome of the general election. The level of primary divisiveness, however, significantly influences the general election and does so differently depending on the type of candidate. Challengers are the clearest beneficiaries of primary competition; the more divisive the challenger's primary the better they perform in the general election. Since they typically lack experience, name recognition and legitimacy, the primary provides an opportunity for challengers to improve their standing. In contrast, incumbents have experience running for office, have name recognition in their districts, and have resources to communicate their messages to voters. They do not need the primary election to help them complete these tasks. If challengers receive the most benefits from primaries, incumbents are surely the most burdened. Finally, open seat candidates are assisted by primary competition though not as dramatically as challengers. In a system where incumbents have endless advantages, primary election competition appears to offer challengers and open seat candidates an opportunity to become more competitive candidates. Primaries appear to be one of the few "incumbent disadvantages.".

title: The Analysis of Genetically Engineered Polyketide Metabolites
Creators: name: Kearney, Dominic
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2000

description: Experience has shown that genetically engineered, truncated polyketide synthases sometimes gave very low production levels (as low as l-2mg per litre broth culture). To understand how the protein producing them works, it is important to be able to characterise the metabolites. To do this effectively these small quantities of product must be isolated from the broth so that NMR spectra may be obtained.
Within this thesis is described details of the initial analysis by GC-MS, the separation and subsequent isolation by preparative HPLC-MS and the interpretation of the NMR spectra. Work is also described relating to the pre-HPLC cleanup of biological extracts including flash silica chromatography and size exclusion chromatography. One of the compounds characterised has proven to have different stereochemistry to that expected based on previous knowledge. The structure, including stereochemistry of this new compound was obtained by a combination of a process of elimination (spiking studies) and by NMR spectra.
 A comparative study of the effectiveness of HPLC-MS and GC-MS for the accurate quantification of triketide lactones has shown that GC-MS is the more preferable method having lower detection limits for this particular group of compounds.
The synthesis of a Ʌ-lactone is also described (this was used as a standard in both quantification and spiking studies).

description: The $p$-step backwards difference formula (BDF) for solving the system of ODEs can result in a kind of all-at-once linear systems, which are solved via the parallel-in-time preconditioned Krylov subspace solvers (see McDonald, Pestana, and Wathen [SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 40(2) (2018): A1012-A1033] and Lin and Ng [arXiv:2002.01108, 17 pages]. However, these studies ignored that the $p$-step BDF ($p\geq 2$) is not selfstarting, when they are exploited to solve time-dependent PDEs. In this note, we focus on the 2-step BDF which is often superior to the trapezoidal rule for solving the Riesz fractional diffusion equations, but its resultant all-at-once discretized system is a block triangular Toeplitz system with a low-rank perturbation. Meanwhile, we first give an estimation of the condition number of the all-at-once systems and then adapt the previous work to construct two block circulant (BC) preconditioners. Both the invertibility of these two BC preconditioners and the eigenvalue distributions of preconditioned matrices are discussed in details. The efficient implementation of these BC preconditioners is also presented especially for handling the computation of dense structured Jacobi matrices. Finally, numerical experiments involving both the one- and two-dimensional Riesz fractional diffusion equations are reported to support our theoretical findings.

Part of this work was done in collaboration with Yigal Shamir, and a shorter account of this part appeared recently. In this write-up, I will therefore limit myself to reporting on work done with Steve Sharpe and Robert Singleton, Jr, which has not been published yet. We discuss the symmetries of quenched QCD, paying careful attention to non-perturbative issues. This allows us to derive an effective lagrangian which agrees with standard quenched chiral perturbation theory, but which can also be used to address questions of a non-perturbative nature.

Psychological sequelae of sexual harassment in academia
Creators: name: Fine, Jennifer Amy
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Estimates of the occurrence of sexual harassment on college campuses range from 30 to 70 percent of undergraduate women per year. Anecdotal evidence and prevailing theory suggest that psychological manifestations of sexual harassment may be similar to symptoms experienced by victims of other sexual traumas such as rape and incest. Eighty-seven male and female participants filled out self-report measures of instances of sexual harassment, basic beliefs, psychological distress, PTSD symptoms, and coping strategies. Participants watched videotapes depicting sexual harassment, emotional arousal, and a neutral interaction while their heart rate and skin temperature were monitored and were screened for PTSD diagnoses. Results revealed that students who had been sexually harassed in an academic setting harbored more negative basic beliefs and evidenced more general psychopathology than those who had not been harassed, regardless of their perception of the experience as harassment. The measure of sexual harassment (where scores increase as experience of sexual harassment increases) was positively correlated with PTSD symptoms. Subjects who perceived themselves to have been harassed had more "reexperiencing" PTSD symptoms than those who had experienced similar events but did not identify them as harassment. Subjects who perceived themselves to have been harassed were more likely to have met criteria for PTSD at some point than those who have never been harassed. Subjects' patterns of physiological reactivity to the different videotapes did not differ, regardless of harassment status. Among subjects who had been sexually harassed, approach coping was not significantly related to general psychopathology or PTSD symptoms, while avoidance coping was associated with greater symptomatology. Approach coping was positively related to favorableness of basic beliefs while avoidance coping was related to less favorable basic beliefs. In sum, victims of academic sexual harassment appear to harbor more negative basic beliefs and suffer from more psychological distress than students who have not been sexually harassed. These results suggest that the experience of academic sexual harassment may be psychologically similar to other sexual traumas.

Cyclocephala berti

description: Cyclocephala berti Delgado, 1992
 Material Examined. Two males and five females labeled: “ MÉXICO: Veracruz, Zongolica, La Quinta, Amatitla. 29-30-V-2011. Luz mercurial. Bosque mesófilo de montaña. Alt. 1250 m, E. Mora, L. Delgado y L. Lara cols”. One female with same data, except 31-VI-2011. One male with same data, except 31-VII-2011. The specimens are deposited in the following collections: University of Nebraska State Museum (Nebraska, USA) 1 ♂ 1♀; Instituto de Ecología, A. C. (Xalapa, México) 2♀; L. Delgado Collection (Mexico City) 1 ♂ 1♀; and E. Mora-Aguilar Collection (Xalapa, México) 1 ♂ 2♀.
 This species was described based on only one male specimen from the H. & A. Howden collection (now in Canadian Museum of Nature, Ottawa, Canada). The specimen was collected in the Los Tuxtlas region on the southeastern slope of the Volcán de San Martín, Veracruz, Mexico. Recently, nine specimens were collected at the Sierra de Zongolica, Veracruz. Male specimens agree with the description of C. berti, except for their larger size (length 13.7–16.8 mm, width across the humeri 6.5–7.3 mm), head completely covered with long and erect setae, and each elytron with 3 or 4 diffuse spots. Female specimens collected are similar to males except in the dimorphic characters, and are different from other species of Cyclocephala.
 Description of the previously unknown female of C. berti is as follows: Total length 13.1–14.8 mm, width across the humeri 6.2–6.7 mm. Similar to male except in the following respects: Head and pronotum glabrous. Each elytron with 3–4 small, fuscous spots. Elytra and scutellum glabrous, except for the apex and posterior lateral third of elytra with small, sparse setae. Epipleuron expanded at level of metacoxa to abdominal sternites 2–3, with small, rounded, obtuse tooth between abdominal sternites 2–3. Pygidium almost flat, glabrous, except with small, erect setae on the base. Protibiae with basal tooth normal, teeth equidistant. Protarsus not enlarged, claws simple. Metatarsi slightly longer than metatibia.

description: Willingness-to-accept (WTA) questions have been largely abandoned in stated preference empirical work in favor of eliciting willingness-to-pay (WTP) responses, mainly due to perceived unreliability of questions that ask respondents for compensation amounts. This paper reassesses whether stated WTA welfare measures can be valid in public and private good contexts. We conduct two sets of laboratory experiments to analyze whether elicitation format, survey design and framing, and follow-up questions can generate truthful responses. For public goods, we adapt the existing WTP incentive compatibility theoretical framework to the WTA context and test the theory using an experiment involving voting. Results are consistent with the WTP literature and suggest that WTA values can be valid as long as responses have consequences for respondents. For the private good experiment, we focus on whether respondents are motivated to affect the price or the provision of the good. We find that strategic behavior is present and in the direction expected by theory. Survey framing and the use of follow-up questions can provide bounds on the value estimates. These findings raise potential concerns with the use of non-incentive compatible elicitation mechanisms in WTA contexts. Acknowledgement :

description: Prediction of protein structures using computational approaches has been explored for over two decades, paving a way for more focused research and development of algorithms in comparative modelling, ab intio modelling and structure refinement protocols. A tremendous success has been witnessed in template-based modelling protocols, whereas strategies that involve template-free modelling still lag behind, specifically for larger proteins (> 150 a.a.). Various improvements have been observed in ab initio protein structure prediction methodologies overtime, with recent ones attributed to the usage of deep learning approaches to construct protein backbone structure from its amino acid sequence. This review highlights the major strategies undertaken for template-free modelling of protein structures while discussing few tools developed under each strategy. It will also briefly comment on the progress observed in the field of ab initio modelling of proteins over the course of time as seen through the evolution of CASP platform.

description: The purpose of this paper is to examine how crop insurance influences pesticide use, the two decisions being strategic for risk management at the farm scale. Using data from the Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN), we consider French farms which cultivate field crops and wine-growing, the two main sectors that participate the most to crop insurance and that use intensively pesticides. The paper implements propensity score matching, difference-in-differences models and a combination of these two methods in order to compare populations of insured and non-insured farmers. The analysis is performed between 2008 and 2012 given a strategic change in the crop insurance system in 2010 that strongly incites farmers to purchase crop insurance with private companies. At the same time, pesticide use was progressively discouraged through public policies. Estimations show that while pesticide use decreases for all crops, the purchase of crop insurance policies softens this reduction for field crops and fasten it for wine-growing. These results emphasize a possible substitutability between crop insurance and pesticides as risk management tools. Acknowledgement :

description: Estimates of the occurrence of sexual harassment on college campuses range from 30 to 70 percent of undergraduate women per year. Anecdotal evidence and prevailing theory suggest that psychological manifestations of sexual harassment may be similar to symptoms experienced by victims of other sexual traumas such as rape and incest. Eighty-seven male and female participants filled out self-report measures of instances of sexual harassment, basic beliefs, psychological distress, PTSD symptoms, and coping strategies. Participants watched videotapes depicting sexual harassment, emotional arousal, and a neutral interaction while their heart rate and skin temperature were monitored and were screened for PTSD diagnoses. Results revealed that students who had been sexually harassed in an academic setting harbored more negative basic beliefs and evidenced more general psychopathology than those who had not been harassed, regardless of their perception of the experience as harassment. The measure of sexual harassment (where scores increase as experience of sexual harassment increases) was positively correlated with PTSD symptoms. Subjects who perceived themselves to have been harassed had more "reexperiencing" PTSD symptoms than those who had experienced similar events but did not identify them as harassment. Subjects who perceived themselves to have been harassed were more likely to have met criteria for PTSD at some point than those who have never been harassed. Subjects' patterns of physiological reactivity to the different videotapes did not differ, regardless of harassment status. Among subjects who had been sexually harassed, approach coping was not significantly related to general psychopathology or PTSD symptoms, while avoidance coping was associated with greater symptomatology. Approach coping was positively related to favorableness of basic beliefs while avoidance coping was related to less favorable basic beliefs. In sum, victims of academic sexual harassment appear to harbor more negative basic beliefs and suffer from more psychological distress than students who have not been sexually harassed. These results suggest that the experience of academic sexual harassment may be psychologically similar to other sexual traumas.
Atomic photoionization by intense, short laser pulses

description: The Strong Field Approximation (SFA) (1) method is applied to a hydrogenic atom interacting with an intense, short-pulse, circularly-polarized laser field. The field is taken to be in the form of a one-cycle wave-packet pulse whose amplitude has a Gaussian temporal dependence. The electron, which is initially bound to the hydrogen nucleus, is described by a wave function which is a solution to the Schrodinger wave equation. The SFA is an S-matrix method which uses the time-reversal symmetry property of quantum mechanics to place the focus of field interaction on the final state rather than the initial state. This fully interacting final state is approximated by a Volkov solution, in which the binding potential of the atom is neglected and only the field-interaction effects are included. Numerical procedures are used to integrate over those domains in time and energy which make the dominant contributions to the ionization process. Results from calculations which determine the probability of ionization and the energies of the final-state electrons are presented. Transient probabilities that follow the progress in time of the electron show that, during the pulse, the electron has a large probability of reaching a Volkov state and then revisiting the atom. This is attributed to the interference between the terms of the interaction Hamiltonian. Unlike the final-state ionization probability in the long-pulse case, the probability in the short-pulse case exhibits dependence on the azimuthal angle. Spectral calculations of photoelectron energy present peaks seen in both long-pulse theory and in experiment.
