Abstract:

Introduktion: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, ADHD, är en vanlig neuropsykiatrisk diagnos hos vuxna i Sverige med en prevalens på 2,5%. Karakteristiska problem är hyperaktivitet, impulsivitet och ouppmärksamhet. Attention Deficit Disorder, ADD, är en form av ADHD som innebär problem med uppmärksamhet och koncentration. Kunskapen om förekomst av motorikstörningar hos vuxna personer med ADHD och ADD är ännu begränsad. Syfte: Undersöka och beskriva motorisk förmåga hos en grupp vuxna med ADHD och ADD samt jämföra eventuella skillnader mellan dessa grupper. Metod: Denna studie är en del av ett större projekt vid Neurorehab Sävar, Västerbotten. Motorisk förmåga bedömdes för 109 personer enligt The Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency second edition, som i vuxen ålder fått diagnosen ADHD eller ADD. Testet är uppdelat i fyra motoriska områden; Fine Manual Control, Manual Coordination, Body Coordination, Strength and Agility, och en summering av alla områden: Total Motor Composite. Datamaterialet analyserades med oparade t-test och Mann-Whitney U-test och jämfördes deskriptivt mot normativa data. Resultat: Gruppen med ADD hade signifikant bättre poäng i Fine Manual Control än gruppen med ADHD: 60 (9) respektive 53 (10.75), p=0.027. Enligt beskrivande kategorier för Total Motor Composite hade 36,5% ur gruppen ADHD en individpoäng som var under till väl under genomsnittet jämfört med normativa data och 61.5% lika med genomsnittet. Gruppen ADD var 41.1% under till väl under genomsnittet och 59% lika med genomsnittet. Konklusion: Gruppen med ADD förefaller ha bättre finmotorik än gruppen med ADHD. Resultaten indikerar att motoriken är nedsatt hos vuxna personer med ADHD/ADD för över 30%. Ytterligare forskning om motorikstörning, vuxna och diagnosen behövs.

Abstract:

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka om föräldrar till barn med ADHD/ ADD upplevde att barnet fick det stöd som det behövde i skolan samt hur barnet blev bemött av skolpersonalen. Vidare undersökte vi hur föräldrarna upplevde att samspelet mellan skolan och eleven påverkade deras barn. I studien användes en kvalitativ metod där det insamlade materialet tolkades utifrån symbolisk interaktionism samt stämplingsteorin. Fyra föräldrar till barn med ADHD/ADD har intervjuats. Resultatet visade att föräldrarna upplevde att deras barn hade bristfälliga eller obefintliga stödinsatser där somliga av dessa barn bemöttes ofördelaktigt av skolpersonalen. Föräldrarna menade även att samspelet mellan skolan och barnet påverkade barnet i negativ riktning då de blev ofördelaktigt bemötta samt inte fick tillräckliga stödinsatser. Slutsatsen påvisade att föräldrarna upplevde att skolans stödinsatser samt skolpersonalens bemötande hade betydelse för hur barnet lyckades klara av skolan samt hur de utvecklade sin självbild.
The aim of this study was to examine whether parents of children with ADHD/ADD felt that their children received the support they needed in school and how the children were treated by the school staff. Furthermore, we examined how parents felt that the interaction between the school and the student affected their children. The study used a qualitative method in which the collected material was interpreted though symbolic interactionism and labeling theory. Four parents with children with ADHD/ADD have been interviewed. The results showed that parents felt that their children had inadequate or no assistance and some children were treated unfavorably by school staff. Parents also suggested that the interaction between school and child affected the child negatively because they were unfavorably treated and did not receive sufficient support. The conclusion of the study showed that the parents felt that school support activities and attitudes of the staff had a negative effect on their children’s ability to cope with school and their self-image.

Abstract:

Introduktion: Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder (AD(H)D/ ADD) och Autismspektrumstillstånd (AST) är livslånga tillstånd som ger påtagliga konsekvenser för individen. Förekomst av andra utvecklingsrelaterade tillstånd liksom fysisk och psykisk samsjuklighet är vanligt. Kunskapen om den motoriska förmågan hos vuxna med neuropsykiatriska tillstånd är begränsad. Syfte: Undersöka och beskriva den motoriska förmågan hos vuxna med ADHD, ADD och Autismspektrumstörning. Jämföra diagnosgrupperna och undersöka eventuella skillnader. Metod: I studien ingick 151 personer som diagnostiserats i vuxen ålder. Den motoriska förmågan undersöktes med Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, BOT-2. BOT-2 är ett normbaserat, validerat testbatteri som utgörs av fyra motoriska områden uppdelat på åtta delområden, som ger en sammanlagd poäng. Datamaterialet har analyserats med One Way ANOVA, oberoende t-test, Kruskal- Wallis test och Mann Whitney U-test. Deskriptiva data jämfördes med normvärden i BOT-2. Resultat: Jämfört med normvärden i BOT-2 låg 56% av studiepopulationen på en genomsnittlig nivå, 39 % under genomsnittet och övriga väl under genomsnittet i totalpoäng. I området handmotorisk kontroll låg medelvärdet i alla tre grupper under det normerade medelvärdet. Gruppen med Autismspektrumtillstånd hade nedsättningar inom flest områden jämfört med normvärden I AST gruppen låg resultaten i balans och bilateral koordination signifikant lägre jämfört med grupperna ADHD och ADD. I finmotorisk kontroll presterade ADD gruppen signifikant högre än i ADHD gruppen. Konklusion: Nedsättningar i den motoriska förmågan förefaller vanligt hos vuxna med ADHD, ADD och Autismspektrumtillstånd, och särskilt hos dem med AST. Vid neuropsykiatriska utredningar av vuxna bör också den motoriska förmågan bedömas. Mer forskning om förekomsten och behandling av motoriska nedsättningar vid neuropsykiatriska tillstånd är angeläget.
Introduction: Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder (ADHD/ADD) and Austim Spectrums Disorder (ASD) are lifelong conditions that often causes severe consequences for the individual. The co-existens of related neurodevelopmental disorders as well as mental and physical illness is common. Knowledge about motor performance in adults is limited. Aims: To explore och describe motor performance in adults diagnosed with ADHD, ADD och Austism Spectrum Disorder. To performe group comparisons and explore differences between groups. Methods: The population consisted of 151 inividuals diagnosed as adults. Motor abilities were examined using the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, second edition, a reference-based test of fine och gross motor skills. BOT-2 consits of eight subscales organized in four composits, and a total score. One Way ANOVA, independent t-test, Kruskal- Wallis test and Mann Whitney U statistic tests were used in the analysis. Descriptive data was analysed according to normbased data in BOT-2. Resultat: In the population 56% perform within average and 39 % below average in Total Point score, compared to values in BOT-2. All groups performed below average in Manual Coordination. Most deficits appeared in the ASD group. The ASD group scored significantly lower in bilateral coordination and balance compared to the ADHD and ADD group. In Fine Motor Control the ADHD group performed significantly lower than the ADD group. Conclusion: Deficits in motor performance appears to be common in adults with the diagnosis ADHD, ADD och ASD, especially among individuals with ASD. When adults are clinically investigated, motor abilities should also be adressed. Further studies exploring motor abilities is recommended.

Abstract:

Developing a Microsoft SharePoint-based site is, according to marketing, simple and efficient. Efficiency is increased by giving the developer the option to easily add functionality to the site. One way to add functionality is through so called add-ins. An add-in extends the functionality of the site by running independent code on the client, cloud or a server outside the SharePoint farm. Add-ins can be added to the site through a web-based market or by creating new ones. The general question is if creation of new add-ins is worth the effort. This discussion can begin by investigating what implementation detail is reoccurring when developing this add-ins as well as what part of the process the most time is consuming. By attempting to create add-ins and the same time documenting the progress one can make conclusion regarding said questions. The result shows that the most recurring parts of development is how to manage the incoming data. It also seems as if the most time consuming part of add-in development is the research and construction of functionality that fetch data from the SharePoint-based site. Another part of the result is technical and contains information necessary to understand how the example add-ins are created. The add- ins that is presented in this paper concern document management which is a significant aspect of Microsoft SharePoint.

Abstract:

This work deals with the phenomenon of social entrepreneurship in the context of the African continent. First of all, it concentrates on the situation in Africa with respect to water and then on the importance of property rights in the resolving of the situation. Subsequently it discusses one of the common attempts to solve the water crisis, i.e. aid. The second part of the thesis is concerned with social entrepreneurship only. Firstly, from the theoretical point of view (definition, typology) and secondly, from the practical point of view (case studies of enterprises that are trying to push Africa closer to achieving the Millennium Development Goal of halving the proportion of people without access to safe drinking water).

Abstract:

This is a study about abnormal characteristics in the stock market and how to successfully use them in personal portfolios. Market anomalies are unexpected excess returns that occur in relation to certain variables. Five commonly known market anomalies (market cap, price-earnings ratio, price-book value, momentum, volatility) are tested to give evidence for their presence. Existing variables are then combined in different portfolios in order to observe whether they generate greater excess returns combined rather than individually. This study will also reveal whether long-term holding is possible and how the anomalies react in bullish and bearish markets.

Abstract:

Bokstavsdiagnosen ADHD/ADD är omdiskuterad i Sverige. Neuropsykiatrerna och sociologerna kommer inte överens. Men, vad tycker pedagoger när de arbetar med barnen? Vad tycker barnen? I detta arbete behandlar jag två pedagogers, två föräldrars och två barns syn på diagnosen ADHD/ADD. Syftet med arbetet är att synliggöra problemet med att ha ADHD/ADD för att kunna undersöka och diskutera åtgärderna samt få en större beredskap att arbeta med olikheter. Min frågeställning blir således: Hur uppfattas situationen för barn med ADHD/ADD i skolan? Vilka resursmöjligheter har skolan när det gäller barn med ADHD/ADD? Vilka åtgärder finns för dessa barn? Hur ser samarbetet ut mellan skolan - och hem? Jag gör en beskrivning av problemområdet utifrån det historiska perspektivet på diagnosen samt definierar grundläggande begrepp som är viktiga för mitt arbete. På detta följer tidigare forskning på området, en introduktion till olika teorier och deras relevans till min undersökning samt en redovisning av skolans syn på barn med ADHD/ADD. Jag redogör för mitt metodval i undersökningen, urval av undersökningsgrupp och undersöknings genomförande för att sedan analysera materialet utifrån teorier inom psykiatri, utifrån skolans roll, det pedagogiska syn och pedagogiska åtgärder. Avslutningsvis för jag en diskussion om min studie och möjliga vägar för fortsatt forskning på området.

Abstract:

Tunable add-drop multiplexer systems that are feasible and exhibit good performance characteristics are highly desirable for building all-optical transmission systems. A novel sparse tunable optical add/drop multiplexer subsystem consisting of eight tunable single-ring resonator based optical filters, and two eight-channel phase array devices, is proposed to allow sparse optical channels add and/or drop. The design takes advantage of the main limitation of single ring resonator-based optical filters, namely the rather limited free spectral range and in effect the limited number of communication channels that can be processed. The tunable filters provide add and drop functions of the selected channels whereas the phase array devices provide demultiplexing and multiplexing functions for the inbound and the outbound channels respectively. The coupled mode theory, its transfer matrix formalism, and the theory of spectral analysis of signals are used to carry out preliminary performance analysis of the single-ring resonator based tunable add-drop filter, to optimize, and finally to characterize its performance. This approach allows an accurate evaluation of filter characteristics, namely the transfer functions between any ports of the device. A wavelength-domain simulation method, coupled with a time/frequency-domain simulation method, is used to analyse the performance of the tunable OADM in linear, ring, and mesh all-optical wavelength-division multiplexing networks/transmission systems. Our performance evaluation demonstrates that the tunable OADM could be successfully employed in linear, ring, and mesh all-optical dense-division multiplexing networks/transmission systems with bit rates up to 10 Gbit/s.

Abstract:

Wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) using silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguides have become an attractive area of research to decrease the footprint of optical interconnects as well as to ensure high speed data transmission. Specifically, research into using SOI ring resonator add-drop filters for WDM applications have been increasingly pursued. A ring resonator coupled on both sides by straight waveguides enables one to add (multiplex) or drop (demultiplex) wavelengths. Using series-coupled ring resonators, with each resonator having a different length, enables better spectral performance than single ring resonators. In this thesis, we have analyzed the properties of SOI strip waveguides and directional couplers. We have compared different spectral properties of single and series-coupled ring resonators and showed the advantages of using series-coupled ring resonators. SOI strip waveguide series-coupled racetrack resonators exhibiting the Vernier effect were designed by us and fabricated at a leading edge foundry. The free spectral range was 36 nm, which is comparable to the span of the optical C-band. The drop port response showed interstitial peak suppression between 9 dB and 17 dB and minimal resonance splitting.

Pappous, Ioannis. "Add-on markets with naïve consumers." Thesis, University of East Anglia, 2019. https://ueaeprints.uea.ac.uk/69967/.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis aims to improve our understanding of firms' incentives to offer add-ons, as well as the implications that selling add-ons has for competition and welfare. It consists of three studies. In the first study we develop two models that explain the establishment of add-on pricing equilibria in markets with physical add-on services (e.g. hotels, airlines), and in software markets (e.g. apps with microtransactions). We show that add-on pricing equilibria can emerge despite consumers being fully rational and despite the presence of a binding price floor. The second and third studies analyse markets with naïve consumers. The goal of both studies is to explore the extent to which the incentive to exploit naïve consumers' mistakes affects firms' choices of horizontal product differentiation in the core product market. In the second study we analyse a model in which add-ons are unwanted - they are never purchased by sophisticated consumers. We identify conditions under which firms offer maximally differentiated products in order to soften competition, and conditions under which each firm offers a product similar to its rival's in order to maximise profits from exploitation. In the third study we develop a model in which add-ons are desirable - sophisticated consumers buy them under certain circumstances. We find that the sophisticates' demand for add-ons complicates the relationship between prices and the degree of horizontal product differentiation. This raises the possibility that intermediate product differentiation also emerges in equilibrium. Both the second and the third study show that benefits to consumers from the firms' choices of product differentiation can more than offset the harm to consumer welfare from the exploitation of consumer mistakes. Thus, whether conventional regulatory interventions have a positive effect on consumer welfare depends, to a large extent, on their effect on firms' product differentiation incentives.

Abstract:

Warren Buffet started an investment partnership of $100 in 1956 and has gone on to accumulate a personal net worth of over $60 billion. He started primarily as a value investor, and gradually changed over time to a strategy which uses the PEG ratio as its main tool. Peter Lynch, one of the most successful fund managers in history and had a compound annual growth rate of 29% for 13 years, was the man to first introduce the world to the PEG ratio. With such prominence, however, widespread use of previously successful strategies tend to render them ineffective due to everyone using them, and today the PEG ratio’s effectiveness as a valuation tool remains a topical debate between market commentators.This study sets out to determine if the PEG ratio adds value using JSE Main Board data from 2002 to 2012. Returns from five portfolios constructed directly from share quintiles based on PEG ratio magnitude are compared to returns of a portfolio constructed from the optimum quintile of value shares. The PEG ratio portfolio returns are examined based on 3 rebalancing period strategies, and on relative performance between the quintiles within each strategy.It is found that a 24 monthly rebalancing strategy provides superior returns to that of 3 or 12 monthly rebalancing for PEG quintiles of selected stocks. Furthermore, the lowest PEG ratio quintile in this strategy outperforms the value portfolio by a compound annual growth rate of 4.3%. The second lowest PEG ratio quintile portfolio performs slightly better to ensure that 40% of stocks selected based on the PEG ratio produced sustained superior returns to the optimum quintile value portfolio.

Abstract:

One -dimensional infrared speckle scans of Ross 614 AB were recorded at a wavelength of 2.2μm. For each scan an estimate of the instantaneous quality of the seeing was calculated and the scan was binned accordingly. The three bins corresponding to the three best seeing conditions were further processed by applying the shift -and -add algorithm to the set of images contained within each bin, thereby generating three shift- and -add images with differing shift -and -add point -spread- functions. After windowing the shift -and -add images (using edge -extension) to reduce the effect of contamination, we have obtained parameters corresponding to the separation and brightness ratio of a two component model of the double star Ross 614 AB by deconvolving the three shift -and -add images with the aid of the zero-and -add technique. Least squares analysis on the positions of the clusters of zeros found from zero- and -add yields a separation of 1.04 arcseconds and a brightness ratio of 4.3 for the binary system at this wavelength. An extension of the processing, which takes explicit account of the nonlinear motion of the scanning mechanism gives improved estimates of 1.04 arcseconds and 3.9 for the separation and brightness ratio, respectively.

PROGRAMA DE EXCELENCIA ACADEMICA
A aplicação de técnicas de workflows na área de computação científica é bastante explorada para a condução de experimentos e construção de modelos in silico. Ao analisarmos alguns desafios enfrentados por uma aplicação científica na área de geociências, percebemos que workflows podem ser usados para representar os modelos gerados na aplicação e facilitar o desenvolvimento de funcionalidades que supram as necessidades identificadas. A maioria dos trabalhos e ferramentas na área de workflows científicos, porém, são voltados para uso em ambientes de computação distribuída, como serviços web e computação em grade, sendo de difícil uso ou integração dentro de aplicações científicas mais simples. Nesta dissertação, discutimos como viabilizar a composição e representação de workflows dentro de uma aplicação científica existente. Descrevemos uma arquitetura conceitual de motor de workflows voltado para o uso dentro de uma aplicação stand-alone. Descrevemos também um modelo de implantação em uma aplicação C plus plus usando redes de Petri para modelar um workflow e funções C plus plus para representar as tarefas. Como prova de conceito, implantamos esse modelo de workflows em uma aplicação existente e analisamos o impacto do seu uso na aplicação.
The use of workflow techniques in scientific computing is widely adopted in the execution of experiments and building in silico models. By analysing some challenges faced by a scientific application in the geosciences domain, we noticed that workflows could be used to represent the geological models created using the application so as to ease the development of features to meet those challenges. Most works and tools on the scientific workflows domain, however, are designed for use in distributed computing contexts like web services and grid computing, which makes them unsuitable for integration or use within simpler scientific applications. In this dissertation, we discuss how to make viable the composition and representation of workflows within an existing scientific application. We describe a conceptual architecture of a workflow engine designed to be used within a stand-alone application. We also describe an implementation model of this architecture in a C plus plus application using Petri nets to model a workflow and C plus plus functions to represent tasks. As proof of concept, we implement this workflow model in an existing application and studied its impact on the application.

Burkette, Jerry W. Jr. "What Does Theism Add to Ethical Naturalism?" Thesis, Virginia Tech, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/10919/83836.

Full text

Abstract:

Recent literature seems to have opened up space for naturalistic theistic metaethics in a contemporary context, as proponents of divine command theories have tended to be restricted to either supernatural or theistic non-natural theories within existing taxonomies of normative theory. While perhaps encouraging for theists, would theism add anything substantive to theories of ethical naturalism? In this paper, I examine this question. I argue that theistic naturalism appears to incur certain objections as well as provide a plausible and explanatory constraint on content for theories of ethical naturalism. As a result, a corresponding challenge to non-theistic variants is raised.
Master of Arts
Realists, roughly summarized, are those metaethicists who believe that some moral propositions have truth values, that some (or at least one) of those propositions turn out to be true, and that if rational agents disagree on the truth value of a particular moral proposition, only one of them has the possibility of being correct. Broadly construed, moral realists tend to fall under one of two “tents”, preferring either naturalism (for which moral properties turn out to be wholly natural in constitution) or non-naturalism (which posits that at least some moral properties have, even if only partly, non-natural constituents as part of their make-up. Theists, who base their theories of morality on some facet of the nature or essence (or commands) of God, have tended to either be relegated in philosophical debate to a characterization of “supernaturalism” or to some seldom visited corner of the non-natural “tent” of moral realism. The former tends to limit theistic engagement in contemporary metaethical dialogue such that it can seem (at times) as if theists and non-theists are talking about two different subjects entirely. On the other hand, a non-naturalistic theory of theistic moral realism saddles the view with some fairly difficult metaphysical and epistemological baggage in the form of powerful objections levied against non-naturalistic theories in general. This paper explores another option for theism in light of very recent work by Gideon Rosen, namely his article examining the metaphysical implications of varieties of moral realism, particularly naturalistic ones. This article has already garnered a general characterization (within metaethical research, writ large) as being a “taxonomy” of naturalistic (and non-naturalistic, for that matter) theories. Specifically for my purposes here, Rosen suggests that divine command theory (and theistic metaethics in general) should be understood as being naturalistic in formulation. This would seem to be advantageous to theists, in that their metaethical theories might avoid either the bounded characterization of supernaturalism or the difficult challenges of non-naturalism. However, the theist, should she avail herself of naturalism in this regard, will need to tread carefully. Given that Rosen has couched his 'taxonomy' in terms of metaphysical grounding, I examine some resultant challenges for naturalistic theistic metaethics, concluding they can be overcome, as well as a related objection to non-theistic naturalism that arise as a result of the same grounding discussion coupled with the resources theists can leverage in a naturalistic context.

Abstract:

Resource acquisitions have added value to resource companies over the past two decades. This stems from the results of this research which has analysed 30 transactions and further reviewed 22 transactions with a total value A$240 billion. However, this figure is dominated by the 1997 BHP Billiton bid for Rio Tinto and if this attempted takeover is excluded from the list, the total value of the transactions analysed is A$60 billion.The consolidation has occurred in three waves since the early 1990s. These periods are: • First, a period starting in 1995 and ending in 2000; it included the end of the 1992-1996 bull run, the Asian Crisis and a period known as the 1998-2000 bull run and ending during the start of the Tech Boom drift, • Secondly, a period between 2002 and 2004 which combines the waning stages of the Tech Boom drift and the commencement of the 2002-2008 Resources Boom, and, • Thirdly, in a more recent period from 2006 to near the end of the 2002-2008 resources boom.Each of these periods has different characteristics but overall there is a broad trend of foreign bidders acquiring Australian companies during weaker markets except during the 2002-2008 Resources Boom.Cumulative abnormal returns (CAR) for both bidders and targets have been estimated using an adapted market model for event analysis. It draws on the strong correlation of absolute resource share with commodity prices.Friendly transactions offer target shareholders a lower final offer price premia to the 30-day average target share price prior to the announcement (dual listing – 17.8 per cent, mergers – 12.9 per cent) and compares to traditional takeovers which average 48.7 per cent. In traditional takeovers the initial offer to 30-day average premia was 37.2 per cent but increases to the final offer to 30-day average premia of 48.7 per cent mostly reflecting the impact of competitive bidding. Average increases in the final offer prices in non-competitive bidding were 16.6 per cent.While both scrip and cash bids offered similar premia to target shareholders, foreign scrip on average offer a 20 per cent higher premia. Elsewhere, there were no material differences between the premia offered in hostile compared to non-hostile takeovers.Bidders offering a 35 per cent premium (whether cash or scrip) to target shareholders are expected to create CAR for the target shareholders at around 24 per cent on the bid announcement. If the bid involves foreign scrip, the premium needs to be raised by 30 per cent but then the CAR for target shareholders will be slightly lower than non-foreign scrip bids at 22.9 per cent. If, however, the bidder can structure a merger the premium can reduce to zero in a ‘merger of equals’.Overall, the negative bidder CAR during the event window is more than offset by positive CAR during the post-event window, leading to a net positive CAR for acquirers of an average of 7.1 per cent. The positive net CAR for acquirers using scrip bids is 11.3 per cent; it falls to 3.5 per cent for bidders using cash offers.In the alternative investment of exploration there are attractive probability weighted exploration returns but these are dampened by the high levels of expenditure required to achieve satisfactory levels of certainty. This will continue to undermine the investment appeal of junior explorers while greenfield exploration will become solely the domain of the majors.

Abstract:

La proposta di progetto ABRACADABRA, acronimo per “Assistant Building’s addition to Retrofit, Adopt, Cure And Develop the Actual Buildings up to zeRo energy, Activating a market for deep renovation”, è stata redatta in risposta al bando europeo H2020-EE-2015-MarketUpTake. Si basa sull’assunto che i benefici non strettamente legati alla mera riqualificazione energetica giochino un ruolo chiave nell’iter progettuale del rinnovamento, in particolare l’aumento di valore di mercato dei comparti e la possibilità di aumentare le unità abitative mediante l’aggiunta di volumi che agiscano come edifici attivi sopperendo anche alle necessità energetiche dell’esistente. Per raggiungere questi obiettivi ABRACADABRA propone una nuova strategia di recupero basata su aggiunte volumetriche e lo sfruttamento di energie rinnovabili (Add-ons and Renewables Energy Sources (AdoRES)). Nella pratica questo si traduce con addizioni volumetriche parziali, che divengono parte integrante dell’edificio esistente, quali incrementi in facciata (FACADE) o laterali (ASIDE) e l’aggiunta di piani (ON TOP)nonché la saturazione di eventuali piani terra su pilotis (GROUND), o persino di un intero edificio di nuova costruzione (ASSISTANT BUILDING) che sopperisca alle eventuali necessità energetiche dell’edificio assistito. In questa relazione si tratterà quindi un’analisi tipologica delle addizioni volumetriche possibili a seconda delle differenti situazioni, in quanto l’obiettivo ultimo è di ottenere il campo di applicabilità di questo tipo di rinnovamento confrontando l’efficacia delle AdoRES in diversi mercati. I comparti urbani coinvolti nello studio sono situati in otto diversi Paesi facenti parte dell’Unione Europea (Bulgaria, Grecia, Italia, Lettonia, Olanda, Norvegia, Romania e Spagna), costruiti prima degli anni ’70-’80, avendo quindi inadeguati livelli di efficienza energetica.

Full text

Abstract:

Momentum can be explained as a passive strategy which is rebalanced continually over time. It can be divided into a long position in observed “winners”, and a short position in observed “losers”. This study tries to find out if some kind of liquidity strategy can increase any abnormal return generated by a conventional momentum strategy. Our data is based on monthly returns from all listed companies at Stockholm Stock Exchange between January 1997 and June 2005. We have, in addition to a plain momentum strategy, composed four different liquidity strategies, based on four different observing periods and four different holding periods. Our findings show that momentum has been present during our observation period, where the most profitable portfolio has an observation period of 3 months and a holding period of 6 months, and generates an abnormal return of 253 percent. Or findings from adding liquidity as a second component show that the most profitable strategy is to reverse the high-low strategy with observe and hold periods of 12 months, which has generated an abnormal return of 345% and a risk-adjusted alpha of 0.411. We can also conclude that additional abnormal and risk-adjusted return has been generated by adding liquidity as a second component to plain momentum. Overall the prevailing strategy regarding liquidity is to go long in low volume loser or short in high volume losers. We also find that the most extreme values are generated in the 12 month holding period portfolios. Reasonable explanations for these findings might be derived from a potential steeper upside in low liquidity losers, company specific characteristics and behavioural theories, but can not be concluded beyond reasonable doubt out of the results in this paper.

Full text

Abstract:

Phosphatidate Phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.4) is an important enzyme in plant lipid metabolism as it lies at a theoretical branchpoint between phospholipid and triacylglycerol biosyntheses. Since it's identification in 1955, it has received very little attention in plant lipid research. Previous studies reported in the literature have been limited to the use of crude plant cell extracts, making an accurate evaluation of the data difficult. The enzyme was characterised and purified to homogeneity from the microsomes of maturing avocado fruit, for the first time from any plant source. The novel procedure utilised detergent solubilisation in CHAPS, followed by anion exchange and Affi-Gel Blue chromatography, ammonium sulphate precipitation and Phenyl Superose chromatography. The enzyme had a subunit molecular mass, as determined by SDS-PAGE of 49kDa. Gel filtration studies revealed it was monomeric. Enzyme activity had a pH optimum of 6.0, was insensitive to N- ethylmaleimide and was stimulated by Mg(^2+). The homogenous enzyme was examined for the ability to hydrolyse sn-1,2- dioleoylglycerol-3-phosphate(PA), sn-1 -oleoylglycerol-3 -phosphate(LPA), sn-2- oleoylglycerol-3-phosphate, ceramide-1-phosphate and p-nitrophenylphosphate. All substrates were used, but the apparent V(_MAX) values for PA and LPA were considerably higher than the other substrates tested. The Michaelis-Menten kinetic model of enzyme catalysis was found to be inappropriate as the surface active enzyme was shown to be dependent on the bulk and surface concentration of the substrate in Triton X-100 mixed micelles. The surface dilution kinetic model was used to study PA and LPA hydrolysis. LPA was a better substrate and was also a potent competitive inhibitor of PA hydrolysis. Considering the specificities of the other enzymes in triacylglycerol biosynthesis, this premature dephosphorylation of LPA would prevent triacylglycerol formation. These findings possibly indicate that strict metabolic channelling is in operation with very low steady state concentrations of LPA with respect to PA, thus preventing any interaction with LPA in vivo.

Business forecasting frequently combines quantitative time series techniques with qualitative expert opinion overrides to create a final consensus forecast. The objective of these overrides is to reduce forecast error, which enables safety stock reduction, customer service improvement, and manufacturing schedule stability. However, these overrides often fail to improve final forecast accuracy. Process mis-steps include small adjustments, adjustments to accurate statistical forecasts, and adjustments to match financial goals. At best, these overrides waste scare forecasting resources; at worst, they seriously impact business performance. This report offers a framework for identifying overrides that are likely to improve forecast accuracy. A new class of metrics, Dispersion-Scaled Overrides, was developed as an input to the framework. Other inputs included statistical forecast accuracy and auto-correlation. Classification techniques were used to identify whether an override was likely to create forecast value add. These techniques were found to be approximately 80% accurate in predicting success. This result suggests that using Dispersion-Scaled Overrides alongside common forecast accuracy metrics can reliably predict forecast value add. In turn, this can maximize the value that experts add to the business forecasting process.

Abstract:

Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie var att undersöka hur elever med neuropsykiatriska funktionshinder upplever tiden i grund- och gymnasieskolan. Mina frågeställningar handlade om i vilka sammanhang eleverna upplevde svårigheter kopplade till funktionshindren, på vilka sätt skolan visade förståelse för dessa svårigheter, hur skolan löste de problem som uppstod, vad skolan kunde ha gjort mer samt vilka starka sidor hos eleverna som var betydelsefulla i skolan. Jag intervjuade sex ungdomar i åldrarna 18 - 21 år. Jag använde mig av halvstrukturerade intervjuer. Resultatet, som analyserades ur ett sociokulturellt perspektiv, visade att eleverna upplevde svårigheter i skolan i flera olika sammanhang. Stora klasser och störande ljud i klassrummet förvärrade elevernas koncentrationssvårigheter. Projektarbeten utan strikta ramar och att tvingas redovisa inför klassen utgjorde ett stort hinder för flera av eleverna, medan undervisning på för låg nivå ledde till bristande studiemotivation. Under högstadietiden upplevde eleverna stress och svårigheter att hitta till klassrummen. Annat som medförde problem var bland annat fobier, sömnstörningar och att delta i skolidrotten. Utanförskap och mobbing i elevgrupperna var vanligt förekommande. Även lärare utsatte eleverna för kränkande särbehandling genom utpekande handlingar, skuldbeläggande och bestraffningar. Eleverna upplevde att de oftast möttes av oförståelse och okunskap från skolan. Endast enstaka lärare visade förståelse. Skolans åtgärder sattes oftast in väldigt sent och lösningarna på problemen blev därför kortvariga. Vissa åtgärder gjorde till och med större skada än nytta. Eleverna berättade om sina starka sidor och menade att dessa hjälpte dem genom åren i skolan. Av resultatet framgick att mindre klasser, men också kunskap hos lärarna och förmågan att samtala med eleverna och lyssna på dem, är viktiga medel för att kunna ta tag i problemen på ett tidigt stadium och skapa en skola för alla.

The purpose of this qualitative study was to get knowledge of experiences of the years in compulsory school and upper secondary school by pupils with neuropsychiatric disabilities. The questions dealt with when and where in school the pupils had difficulties connected to their neuropsychiatric disabilities, in what way they were met with understanding for their difficulties, how the school solved the problems, what the school could have done more and what qualities the pupils possessed that helped in school. I interviewed six youngsters in the ages of 18 - 21. I used half-structured interviews. The result was analysed in a sociocultural perspective and showed that the pupils had difficulties in many ways at school. Big classes and noises in the classroom made their concentration difficulties worse. Projects in school without strict directions as well as appearances before the class became huge barriers for some of the pupils, while teaching at a too low level led to a lack of motivation. In upper level of compulsory school the pupils felt stress and difficulties in finding classrooms. Some other problems were phobias, insomnia and participating in school gymnastics. Bullying and exclusion from fellowship was usual. Even teachers were insulting the pupils by indicating them as outsiders, blaming them for their difficulties and punishing them. The pupils experienced that they were mostly met with misunderstanding and a lack of knowledge from the school. Just a few teachers were sympathetic. The school mostly took measures very late and the solutions therefore became short-lived. Some of the measures made the problems even worse. The pupils told me about their strong sides that helped them through school. The result showed that smaller classes as well as teachers knowledge and ability to converse and listen to the pupils are important instruments to be able to face the problems in an early phase and create a school for all kinds of minds.

Abstract:

In recent years, Component models have become common for desktop and server-side applications. But it has not obtained such importance in case of embedded real-time systems. Therefore, there has been a lot of research undergoing for introducing such component models for embedded real-time systems. This thesis work proposes an alternative approach for doing this, by the generation of proxies. The idea is to provide an extension to an existing binary component and modify it to adapt to the targeted real-time operating system. Rather than modifying the existing component, a new component is generated, which is called as the proxy component. This newly generated proxy component provides the same method implementation as the original component and also provides some additional services. These services enable these components to meet the needs of targeted embedded real-time systems. In order to achieve this, a Visual Studio 2008 add-in has been created. This add-in is capable of inspecting an existing Smart Device Component and visualizes the Classes, Interfaces and Methods in the original component in its UI. In addition to this, the add-in also shows the available services to be included in the proxy component. The UI of the add-in is designed in such a way that, the user is able to select the services, which should be included in the proxy component. Based on the user’s selection, the add-in generates the proxy component with the additional services.

Abstract:

How will digitalization influence the role of corporate headquarters (CHQs) and their relationships with their operating units? We recently asked 67 senior CHQ managers this question. The results suggest that CHQs expect to become more powerful and more involved in their operating units. These conclusions seem to be driven by perceptions that the ongoing digitalization will provide CHQ managers with more timely and better information. In this "Point of View", we discuss the potential pitfalls of such a narrative. We also offer ideas for how to avoid mistakes and ensure that CHQs increase their value-added in times of digitalization. In particular, we suggest that CHQs place emphasis on social interactions for data to be effectively collected and analyzed, for decision-making power to be adequately allocated, and for CHQ involvement to be informed and necessary.

Abstract:

Binary multiplier has been a staple in the digital circuit design. It is used in microprocessor design, DSP applications etc. Here, we discuss the design of a novel multiplier that employs a modified shift and add logic to multiply two n-bit unsigned binary numbers. In our work, we changed the shift and add algorithm. We used a barrel shifter and a multiplexer to generate the partial products. We also found out a way to reduce the number of partial products so that we would have fewer numbers to add after we generated all of them. An array of Carry Save Adders (CSA) is used to add the partial products. With all our arrangements and setups, we aim to reduce delays and make the design as efficient as possible. As examples, we have shown it to multiply two 16-bit numbers, however, the design can easily be either scaled up or down according to the environment the multiplier is being used.

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Skolsköterskan och elevhälsan har ett grundläggande uppdrag i att främja och stödja elevers hälsa för att möjliggöra goda skolresultat. Elever med koncentrationssvårigheter utan hyperaktivitet kan vara svåra att upptäcka då eleven inte stör andra men har svårt att tillgodogöra sig undervisningen. Elever med detta funktionshinder upplever varierat stöd från skolan vilket kan få negativa konsekvenser på skolresultat och självkänsla. Syfte: Att beskriva hur skolsköterskor upplever sig stödja elever med ADD. Metod: En empirisk intervjustudie genomfördes med semistrukturerade frågor som ställdes till nio skolsköterskor verksamma inom grund- och gymnasieskolor. En kvalitativ innehållsanalys användes för analys av insamlad data. Resultat: Tre kategorier framkom ur resultatet: ”Att finnas där för eleven”, ”Att samverka i EHT” samt ”Att fungera som en informerande länk”. Ett övergripande tema framkom som ”Stöd byggt på kunskap och förståelse” Slutsats: Skolsköterskan stödjer elev med ADD genom att arbeta hälsofrämjande med att finnas tillgänglig och vara lyhörd för elev samt lyfta behov till elevhälsoteamet. Hen arbetar dessutom som en samverkande länk mellan alla inblandade aktörer. Dock krävs det viss kunskap om ADD för att kunna vara ett stöd.
Background: The school nurse and the student health service have a fundamental mission to promote students health to enforce school performance. Students with attention deficit without hyperactivity can be difficult to detect as the pupil does not disturb others but find it difficult to follow the education. Students with these disabilities are experiencing varied support from the school which can have a negative impact on academic performance and self-esteem. Aim: To describe school nurses experience of how to support students with ADD. Method: An empirical interview study was conducted using semi-structured questions asked to nine school nurses working in elementary and secondary schools. A qualitative content analysis was used for the analysis of the collected data. Result: Three categories emerged from the result: "To be there for the student", "To interact in the school health team", and "To act as an informative link". An overall theme emerged as "Support built on knowledge and understanding”. Conclusion: The school nurse supports students with ADD by working health promoting through being available, be responsive to student needs and by lifting student needs to the school health team. He/she also works as a collaborative link between all participants to follow up the support over time. However it requires some knowledge about ADD to be able to provide support for these students.

Full text

Abstract:

L’idea da cui nasce questa tesi è quella di introdurre in Blender un Add-on in linguaggio Python che permetta di applicare alcune deformazioni di tipo surface-based a mesh poligonali. Questa tipologia di deformazioni rappresentano l’alternativa alle deformazioni di mesh poligonali tramite rigging ( cioè l’aggiunta di uno scheletro per controllare e per animare la mesh) e caging (cioè l’utilizzo di una struttura di controllo di tipo reticolare che propaga la sua deformazione su un oggetto in essa immerso), che di solito sono le prescelte in computer animation e in modellazione. Entrambe le deformazioni indicate sono già estremamente radicate in Blender, prova ne è il fatto che esiste più di un modificatore che le implementa, già integrato in codice nativo. Si introduce inizialmente la tecnica di deformazione di mesh poligonali tramite elasticità discreta, che è stata realizzata, quindi, presenteremo diverse metodologie di deformazione. Illustreremo poi come modellare, creare ed editare delle mesh in Blender. Non ci soffermeremo su dettagli puramente dettati dall’interfaccia utente, cercheremo invece di addentrarci nei concetti e nelle strutture teoriche, allo scopo di avere le basi logiche per definire una Add-on che risulti veramente efficace e utile all’interno del sistema di modellazione. Approfondiremo la struttura di due modificatori chiave per la deformazioni di mesh : Lattice Modifier e Mesh Deform Modifier che implementano una metodologia di tipo space-based. Infine ci concentreremo sulla parte di scripting Python in Blender. Daremo un’idea delle strutture dati, dei metodi e delle funzioni da utilizzare per interagire con l’ambiente circostante, con i singoli oggetti ed in particolare con le Mesh e daremo un esempio di script Python. Andremo infine a descrivere l’implementazione della deformazione elastica mediante add-on Python in Blender.

Abstract

Brand management will play a more significant role in future marketing competition, so research on the brand management is likely to become more meaningful and interesting.

This thesis focuses on brand management. The research question here is if brand management can add value to firms, as well as how to connect brand management with value. When researching this question, it is necessary to research further on the division of brand management which is internal and external brand management. Because a company’s add value is from cooperation - connection of internal and external brand management. Only when internal and external brand management work together, closely, may brand management add more value to a firm.

This study builds on the Aaker David (2000 p89)’s theory on brand management. In methodology, I use a qualitative research method, which is company interviews, in order to research IKEA’s internal/external brand management experience. This case study helps me to analyze how brand management is connected to a firm’s value.

Through IKEA’s case, it is illustrated that internal and external brand management must combine in order to add value to a firm. Brand management can really create value like increasing more adaptability, uniqueness, recognition etc... All in all, brand management is significant and can add value to firms.

Abstract:

The discovery reach for the ADD-type Large Extra Dimension (LED) scenario in the CMS Experiment at the LHC is presented by looking at the Monojet + Missing Energy signature, which arises as a result of a single graviton emission accompanied by a quark or gluon. Using Monte Carlo generated events, two LHC run scenarios were considered and compared namely a center-of-mass energy of 14 TeV and integrated luminosity of 100 pb&
#8722
1, and a center-of-mass energy of 10 TeV and integrated luminosity of 200 pb&
#8722
1. Details from extensive trigger studies are presented and offline selection techniques that optimize the signal excess over backgrounds are highlighted. As a result of this study, it is shown that the existing Tevatron limits on the ADD model can be improved through the implementation of this analysis in CMS Experiment with a factor of 3 using the the early LHC data.

Abstract:

This thesis proposes an implementation of an improved algorithm for solving nonlinear separable integer programming problems, as they arise in the field of system reliability. The reliability redundancy optimization solver (RROS) improves on a hybrid technique of dynamic programming with depth first search with tighter variable bounds. The implementation takes the form of an Excel add-in, which will be familiar to users with little formal OR/MS training. The user interface design is discussed. Example applications with benchmarks show that the RROS offers accurate solutions in a comparatively efficient way. This thesis further introduces a surrogate method to solve nonlinear problems with non-separable objectives, where a separable constraint is used as a surrogate objective. This is shown to yield solutions to a number of difficult cases.

The human resources (HR) function has evolved significantly over the past several decades. It has grown in maturity and influence while simultaneously enduring great criticism from employees and managers. Meanwhile, environmental pressures have forced business leaders and academics to call for the elevation of HR to a level of strategic primacy. This thesis examines the relationship between organizational human capital and the professional HR function, looking at the history and current state of HR, perceptions of HR's efficacy, trends in innovative organizational design and leadership, and the future of human capital management. I explore these issues in the academic and popular literature, survey managers and experts in the field, and present an intra-industry study across several biotechnology firms.

Abstract:

This study investigates the quantitative value of advice added by financial advisors in South Africa; where value is measured through return differentials between advised and non-advised investors. A sample of 3189 individual investors from a large South African investment manager was analysed over a period of approximately five years, from 4 August 2014 to 31 July 2019. The primary focus of this study is to determine whether financial advisors create value for investors relative to the cost of advice, by investigating if a significant difference exists between the net of advisor fee returns earned by advised and non-advised investors. It also examines investor trading behaviour and assesses if any significant correlations exist between the number of trades made and returns earned. Current South African literature has a limited consideration of the cost of advice when considering the overall value added by financial advisors and has been found to consider a limited range of investment funds and asset classes. This study examines a range of ten investment funds that cover a range of asset classes and examines investment performance both before and after advice fees. The data is also analysed to examine the trading behaviour differences with the correlation between trading and investment returns also examined. The results of this study show that overall, the returns generated by non-advised investors are not significantly different from the returns generated by advised investors before advisor fees are considered. When advisor fees are considered, the impact of advisor fees creates a significant difference in performance between advised and non-advised investors; leading to non-advised investors performing the same or better after fees are considered. The trading behaviour showed that advised investors made statistically significantly fewer trades than non-advised investors. The results did not show strong evidence of return differentials arising from the timing of trade decisions, for either advised or non-advised investors.

Abstract:

This thesis explores how to design an addition to a modern building that makes the building users cognizant of the layers of history while simultaneously creating spaces that respond to the needs of the occupants today. The existing building, the Washington D.C. Central Library, designed by Mies van der Rohe, is conserved and rehabilitated maintaining the library function and new space is created for the Foundation for the Study of Social Media. The addition and the surgical rehabilitation of the existing are informed by the design concepts and details of Mies van der Rohe as well as the theories of Carlo Scarpa. The project evolves through a detail outward design approach in which material and spatial relationships at critical joints are first determined and then used to inform the design of the whole.

Abstract:

Trading on the JSE Bond Market is still done in an archaic fashion when compared to the highly digitalised trading done within the equities markets in South Africa, indicating there is less market efficiency within bond trading. Technical analysis relies on market inefficiencies to achieve an informational advantage and so there could be technical analysis based trading opportunities within bond trading. Bollinger Bands are one of the more prominent technical analysis methods. In this dissertation they are used in trading simulations to generate buy and sell signals in order to test if there is any value-add in their implementation. The dissertation attempts improve Bollinger Band based trading in two ways. The first involves attempts to more accurately estimate the underlying distribution of the time series, that is assumed to be normal in the standard methodology. It is shown that no additional benefit is derived from the alternative distribution estimation methods. Bollinger Bands make an assumption of stationarity on the time series on which they are implimented and so the second attempt at improved accuracy addresses this notion. Cointegration is used to generate linear combinations of bonds that are stationary, leading to more accurate application of the Bollinger Bands. The stationary combination of bonds produces positive results from the trading simulations, primarily within the combinations that are generated from a linear combination of less bonds and that posses larger variation. Not considering the liquidity assumtions, the positive results show that there is value-add within specific technical analysis based trading strategies.
