A common problem in Bell-type experiments is the well-known detection loophole: if the detection efficiencies are not perfect and if one simply postselects the conclusive events, one might observe a violation of a Bell inequality, even though a local model could have explained the experimental results. In this paper, we analyze the set of all postselected correlations that can be explained by a...

This paper addresses the question of whether incumbents can buy political support through targeted public spending. Using a regression discontinuity approach which takes advantage of the quasi-experimental design of a recent Romanian government program that distributed coupons worth 200 Euros to poor families towards the purchase of a computer, we find that program beneficiaries were significan...

We study the problem of privacy amplification with an active adversary in the information theoretic setting. In this setting, two parties Alice and Bob start out with a shared n-bit weak random string W , and try to agree on a secret random key R over a public channel fully controlled by an active and unbounded adversary. Typical assumptions are that these two parties have access to local priva...

this paper tries to explore and asses the political party activities in iran after the islamic revolution. it believes that that formation of political parties was a result of political modernization in iran after the revolution. the authors further examine this modernization based on huntington's theory about modernization including stages of faction creation (factionalism), polarization,...

Recent literature shows that radical right parties (RRPs) present moderate or blurry economic stances. However, this paper argues blurriness is restricted to only one of the two main conflicts contemporary welfare politics, namely questions centring on generosity. In contrast, when it comes goals and principles state should meet, RRPs take a clear stance favouring consumption policies such as o...

It is known that all causal correlations between two parties which output each 1 bit, a and b, when receiving each 1 bit, x and y, can be expressed as convex combinations of local correlations (i.e., correlations that can be simulated with local random variables) and nonlocal correlations of the form a+b=xy mod 2. We show that a single instance of the latter elementary nonlocal correlation suff...

Radiation protection authorities have seen a potential for applying multiattribute risk analysis in nuclear emergency management and planning to deal with conflicting objectives, different parties involved, and uncertainties. This type of approach is expected to help in the following areas: to ensure that all relevant attributes are considered in decision making; to enhance communication betwee...

Reducing the income gap among people has been one of main aspirations Malaysian government since long ago through public policies such as New Economic Policy, National Development and so on. Efforts to reduce this require a concerted effort between all parties including people. However, climate change that occurred drastically in recent times caused frequent floods hit country subsequently grea...
