    The performance of Bulgarian food markets during reform

    No full text
    Food policy often depends on markets and markets depend on institutions. But how good do institutions have to be before reforms can be launched? Relying on well timed surveys of agricultural prices and a joint study by the Government of Bulgaria and the World Bank on agricultural market institutions, this paper presents evidence that performance in food markets improved following significant policy reforms in Bulgaria, although public institutions remained weak. This suggests that even though strong institutions are preferred to weak ones, it can be costly and impractical to delay policy reforms until work on strengthening institutions is finished. Still, measured performance varied by place and by commodity, suggesting that markets developed at different tempos and that the distribution of benefits from improved markets was uneven. This points to the need to address the costs of adjustment as policies change. The paper introduces a new approach to measure market performance based on composite-error techniques.Markets and Market Access,Transport Economics Policy&Planning,Economic Theory&Research,Access to Markets,Agribusiness

    Imagens de Otto Maria Carpeaux: esboço de biografia

    No full text
    Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em História, Florianópolis, 2015.Este esboço de biografia procura citar algumas imagens de Otto Maria Carpeaux: construções biográficas de naturezas múltiplas, elaboradas em contextos, por atores e sob condições igualmente díspares. Está constituído a partir de uma visão crítica da História, o que permite que ?outras imagens?, fragmentárias e não monumentais, também tenham espaço. Em diálogo com o princípio da montagem, este esboço apresenta-se em duas partes. Na primeira, Imagens possíveis, estão citadas as imagens elaboradas em vida e post mortem acerca do austríaco-brasileiro que nasceu em Viena em 1900, se exilou no Brasil em 1939 e morreu no Rio de Janeiro, em 1978. Na segunda, Montagens possíveis, apresentam-se duas possibilidades de exercício biográfico: pela leitura alegórica do documentário O velho e o Novo (Otto Maria Carpeaux), entendido como instrumento de intervenção no contexto ditatorial brasileiro e de uma reelaboração biográfica concernentes às suas experiências europeias; e pelo Caderno de imagens críticas, registro dos encontros em Carpeaux pelo meio de imagens críticas produzidas a partir da cesura do presente.Abstract : This biographical sketch attempts to quote some images of Otto Maria Carpeaux: various types of biographical constructions, carried out in different contexts by disparate authors under conditions just as distinct. It stems from a critical view of history, allowing for ?other images? fragmented and non-monumental ? to share the space.In dialogue with the montage principle, this sketch has two parts. The first, Possible Images, quotes the images produced during and after the life of the Austrian-Brazilian, who was born in Vienna in 1900, went to Brazil in exile in 1939 and died in Rio de Janeiro in 1978. The second part, Possible Montages, presents two possibilities of a biographical exercise: through the allegorical reading of documentary O Velho e o Novo (Otto Maria Carpeaux), understood as an instrument of intervention in the Brazilian dictatorship context and as a biographical retelling of the author?s European experiences; and through my Scrapbook of Critical Images, a record of the encounters in Carpeaux through critical images produced from the caesura of the present

    Dopo una breve parte memorialistica sull’inizio dell’amicizia tra l’autrice e Maria Cristina Bragone il saggio traccia le linee del suo percorso scientifico dalla tesi di laurea a quella di dottorato alla monografia su un abbecedario inedito e alla produzione più recente mettendone in luce l’originale metodologia, i significativi risultati e l’eminente ruolo negli studi slavisti internazionaliAfter a brief memoir on the beginning of the friendship between the author and Maria Cristina Bragone, the essay traces the lines of her scientific path from her degree to her doctoral thesis, to her monograph on an unpublished Slavic abecedary and to her most recent production, highlighting her original methodology, the significant results and eminent role in international Slavic studie

    A Mathematical Analysis of Maria Valtorta’s Mystical Writings

    No full text
    We have studied the very large amount of literary works written by the Italian mystic Maria Valtorta to assess similarities and differences in her writings, because she claims that most of them are due to mystical visions. We have used mathematical and statistical tools developed for specifically studying deep linguistic aspects of texts. The general trend indicates that the literary works explicitly attributable to Maria Valtorta differ significantly from her other literary works, which she claims are attributable to the alleged characters Jesus and Mary. Mathematically, they seem to have been written by different authors. The comparison with the Italian literature is very striking. A single author, namely Maria Valtorta, seems to be able to write texts so diverse as to cover the entire mathematical range (suitably defined) of the Italian literature spanning seven centuries

    Temporal Variation of the Current Sheet Inductance from PACO Plasma Focus Device

    No full text
    The temporal variation of the current sheet (CS) inductance in a plasma focus device can be calculated using the current derivative and the voltage signal acquired on the anode electrode, which are very common measurements in this type of device. The value of that inductance contains important information about the discharge performed including the CS lift-off from the insulator, voltage between the pinch extremes, maximum energy of the X-ray, energy delivered to the pinch and information about the actuating fusion mechanisms if the filling pressure is deuterium. This work discusses the values of the CS inductance extracted from several discharges of the Plasma Auto Confinado (PACO) plasma focus, installed in the National University of the Center of Buenos Aires—Argentina (2 kJ total energy, capacitor bank of 4 μF charged to 31 kV and a maximum current of 250 kA).Fil: Barbaglia, Mario Oscar.

    Gehrmann L, Pati MR. L-invariants for cohomological representations of PGL(2) over arbitrary number fields. Forum of Mathematics, Sigma. 2024;12: e71.**Abstract** Let π\pi be a cuspidal, cohomological automorphic representation of an inner form G of PGL2\operatorname {{PGL}}_2 over a number field F of arbitrary signature. Further, let p\mathfrak {p} be a prime of F such that G is split at p\mathfrak {p} and the local component πp\pi _{\mathfrak {p}} of π\pi at p\mathfrak {p} is the Steinberg representation. Assuming that the representation is noncritical at p\mathfrak {p} , we construct automorphic L\mathcal {L} -invariants for the representation π\pi . If the number field F is totally real, we show that these automorphic L\mathcal {L} -invariants agree with the Fontaine–Mazur L\mathcal {L} -invariant of the associated p -adic Galois representation. This generalizes a recent result of Spieß respectively Rosso and the first named author from the case of parallel weight 22 to arbitrary cohomological weights. </p
