The analysis of judicial practice shows that the qualification of offenses, in which bank cards appear as a material object (product) or as a commiting mean, does not always comply with the principle of legality. In the present study, by analyzing the errors of qualification of such offenses, the aim is to reduce the number of those errors. In concrete terms, the errors analyzed refer to: participation in one of the offenses provided in art. 237 CC RM; qualification of the act of purchasing (and keeping) some false bank cards; application of art. 237 CC RM for obtaining material benefits by illegally accessing card accounts, in the absence of production for the purpose of putting into circulation false bank cards; application of art. 186 CC RM for the illegal obtaining, with the help of false bank cards, of money related to card accounts.

Full textAbstract:
I have previously explored the beginnings of the New Zealand Christmas card prior to 1883, and the ways that the designers of these cards negotiated the colonial experience of a summer Christmas.1 This paper examines the development, over the decade following 1883, of the chromolithographic work of A. D. Willis, whose production not only continued the work of creating a niche for New Zealand Christmas cards, but also tried to compete with the large overseas ‘art publishers’ who were flooding the New Zealand market with northern hemisphere iconography. Willis’s Christmas cards are frequently used to illustrate books looking at the 1880s, but there has been no detailed study done of them. The paper therefore documents the cards, their production and reception, explores how they record Willis’s understanding of the art publishing business and the market he was working into, and situates them in relation to broader print culture. Understanding this overlooked chapter in ‘commercial art’ provides useful evidence of the murky interplay between the local, national and transnational identities that marked New Zealand cultural production when artists and designers sought to capture the public’s Yuletide sentiments. Willis’s work also displays two very distinct conceptions of how to represent what was increasingly known as ‘Maoriland’ to an overseas market – one focused on the land, and the other on Māori. As such, these cards act as a weathervane for what the New Zealand public accepted as New Zealand, artistic and appropriate as a Christmas gift.

This article presents the results of a study devoted to the reflection of information on the history of anatomy in philocard and philately. As illustrative materials, postal and art cards (philocation), postage stamps, blocks and envelopes (philately) are presented, to which the accompanying information is given. Due to the fact that the reflection of anatomy, as a medical science, its heroes, and its history on postage and art cards is very rare, the criterion for selection was to find all possible and available copies devoted to anatomy and its history on professional websites of collectors of philatelic and philocartistic materials. Many of the postal and art cards, where possible, are presented on both sides, obverse and reverse, which confirms the authenticity of the copies presented. All of the illustrative materials in the article, presented as screenshots, are properly referenced, in order to respect all copyrights, with the obligatory indication of where they were taken from. Almost all illustrative materials and references to historical data and events presented are taken, with the active use of Internet resources.

In the summer of 2007, three artists from Slovenia legally changed their names to “Janez Janša”. This life event introduced a break in their artistic practice, which evolved into one of the most radical explorations of life in the age of biopolitics. This essay discusses their recent work, a continuum that is sometimes produced by companies and institutions as a reaction to their life, sometimes by isolating and documenting specific moments in their life. ID cards, passports, and bank cards become the means of a research that undermines the very concepts of “art” and “artwork”, and that challenges the economic system, the legal system, and the art system while actively seeking for their complicity in order to exist.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract One of the more intriguing types of eighteenth-century Moravian art were small devotional cards. These side-hole cards (Seitenhöhlchenkarten) offer a distinctly Moravian reworking of a medieval iconographic tradition. Most of these cards have verses about the side wound of Jesus written in beautiful calligraphy, sometimes in red and green ink. The most intriguing cards have images of the side wound, sometimes with scenes painted into the wound. Aaron Fogleman offered these pictures as evidence for his thesis that the Moravians viewed Jesus as female and considers them as part of their eroticized devotion to Christ. The author of this essay argues that this is a misinterpretation. These cards were probably used by both children and adults in private devotions and are hardly erotic. Rather, they are visual representations of key elements of Moravian wounds mysticism, especially the concept that all aspects of daily life, even eating and sleeping, should be done in the awareness that one is in the body of Christ.

Full textAbstract:
Due to fast-evolving technology, the world is moving to the use of credit cards rather than money in their daily lives, giving rise to many new opportunities for fraudsters to use credit cards maliciously. Based on the Nilson report, losses related to global cards were estimated to be over $35 billion by 2020. In order to maintain the security of users of these cards, the credit card company must develop a service to ensure that users are protected from any risks they may be exposed to. For this reason, we introduce a fraud detection model, denoted ST-BPNN, which is based on machine and deep learning approaches to identify fraudulent transactions. ST-BPNN was applied on real fraud detection data provided by the European bank. Comparing the obtained results from ST-BPNN with a recent state-of-the-art approach shows that our proposed model demonstrates high predictive performance for detecting fraudulent transactions.

ABSTRACT: This article explores certain links between medicine and art, with regard to their use of stereoscopy. I highlight a work by the artist Marcel Duchamp (the ready-made Stéréoscopie a la Main) and stereoscopic cards used in ophthalmic medicine. Both instances involve the drawing of graphic marks over previously existing stereoscopic cards. This similarity between Stéréoscopie a la Main and stereoscopic cards is echoed in the form of "stereoscopic exercises." Stereoscopic exercises were prescribed by doctors to be performed with the stereoscope as early as 1864. Stereoscopic cards were widely diffused in the 19th century, often promoted as "stay-at-home travel." It was over such kinds of materials that both Marcel Duchamp and doctors of ophthalmic medicine drew their graphic marks. I explore Duchamp's Stéréoscopie a la Main as a hypothetical basis for stereoscopic exercises of different types, proposing that this rectified ready-made is the locus for erotic stereoscopic exercises.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines graphic trade cards in eighteenth-century consumer cultures in Britain, France and North America. Trade cards were single-sheet commercial notices promoting the names and locations of individual trades-people alongside the goods and services they supplied. They formed part of a larger category of prints distributing economic information to buyers and sellers. However, the production, role and function of trade cards made them distinct from other forms of commercial advertising. I examine their modes of production and use to suggest the part they played in the professionalisation of retail practices as well as the fashioning of vocational identities for tradesmen. I consider the consumer profile that trade cards targeted and suggest that they appealed to distinct sets of shoppers who read the cards in conjunction with other texts, graphic prints and educative illustrations in books and magazines. Trade cards functioned as multimedia advertisements for an audience interested in cultures of knowledge as well as shopping and new consumer goods. I examine how early engravers used trade card commissions to raise their profile as imaginative artists. I consider the ways in which trade cards supported long-term socioeconomic relationships between buyers and sellers over time and space, and examine their roles as invoices and gifts in systems of credit. I am particularly interested in understanding how trade cards functioned uniquely as promotional notices and mediatory devices for a limited period in the history of consumer culture. The final chapter examines French and American trade cards. In their national contexts, trade cards advertised through a culturally-encoded graphic and textual vocabulary familiar to native consumers. They helped develop and disseminate the emblems and symbols that promoted national identities, agendas and priorities at the end of the eighteenth century. I extend this analysis beyond national geographic boundaries to demonstrate how trade cards also functioned as international business cards, supporting commercial networks in global trade.

Full textAbstract:
Esta tesis estudia la iconografía del sacrificio de Isaac en un grupo de obras medievales hispanas, cuya cronología abarca desde el siglo VII al siglo XII. El trabajo se centra en investigar las formas de transmisión de modelos de un determinado repertorio figurativo al que se aplica el método iconográfico como herramienta de análisis, con un enfoque en el que preocupan especialmente las interacciones entre texto e imagen. La historia que se narra en Génesis 22 ha generado un aparato exegético, cuya bibliografía es prácticamente inabordable, que ha servido al cristianismo para asimilar el tema del Antiguo Testamento desde múltiples perspectivas, entre las que destaca la interpretación tipológica de la Pasión de Cristo. Asimismo, la historia bíblica ha sido representada con profusión en el arte cristiano desde sus inicios. Por tanto, se trata de una imagen elaborada a partir de un texto preexistente. El planteamiento inicial supone una serie de modelos y de patrones iconográficos estables cuyas desviaciones se pueden explicar tomando como base una fuente literaria. Esta tesis evalúa y analiza los límites de esta hipótesis. Una investigación de estas características solo es posible si se dispone de un corpus que incluya un sucinto estado de la cuestión para cada obra a estudiar, con el aparato descriptivo, crítico y bibliográfico más actualizado y relevante posible. La sistematización de este catálogo a partir del corpus es una de las aportaciones de esta tesis, ya que puede servir para futuras investigaciones que precisen de los datos recopilados.
La decisión de elaborar un catálogo iconográfico ha situado a esta investigación en unos parámetros tanto teóricos como metodológicos que se han ido estableciendo puntualmente. Se entiende la iconografía como un proceso de análisis que describe verbalmente el contenido de las imágenes mediante un sistema de decodificación que, idealmente, es gradual, y que va de la identificación a la interpretación, pasando por la descripción minuciosa de dichos contenidos para inferir el tema representado. La evaluación de este método analítico se hace a partir de un repaso historiográfico que contextualiza su validez, y continúa con un breve recorrido por las aplicaciones concretas en las representaciones del sacrificio de Isaac en el arte, así como una revisión de las cuestiones más importantes que han suscitado estas aproximaciones iconográficas. Por otra parte, se pone de relieve que el análisis iconográfico conduce, de manera natural, a la ordenación taxonómica con lo que la elaboración de catálogos se presenta como una tarea ineludible. Se considera que el principio heurístico de la catalogación es válido no sólo en un proceso de sistematización tradicional del corpus, sino que se indican sus posibilidades de migración al mundo digital. Por ello, una de las decisiones asociadas con la creación del catálogo ha sido el desarrollo de un programa informático, denominado Iconoteca, para gestionar la información que se iba recopilando durante el proceso de investigación que incluyera el material gráfico asociado a cada una de las obras estudiadas.
El grueso de la tesis lo constituye el catálogo, que ha sido concebido como una herramienta de consulta cuyo manejo pueda hacerse de una manera aleatoria y modular. El resultado de este tipo de aproximaciones taxonómicas constituye una base firme para elaborar y contrastar hipótesis, como por ejemplo, evaluar las relaciones texto-imagen centradas en el tema iconográfico del sacrificio de Isaac. Este enfoque se ha desarrollado en el último capítulo y ha consistido en una revisión y un análisis en profundidad de algunas particularidades iconográficas del tema en el arte medieval hispano que, aunque conocidas, no siempre habían recibido una atención específica, y para las que se propone una interpretación renovada.This thesis studies the iconography of the sacrifice of Isaac in a group of Hispanic medieval works dating from the seventh century to the twelfth century. The research focuses on the modes of transmission of models and visual patterns of a particular figurative repertoire applying the iconographic method as an analytical tool, where a particular concern is the interactions between text and image. The story, arising from Genesis 22, has generated an exegetical apparatus whose bibliography is almost unreachable and has served to Christianity to assimilate the subject of the Old Testament from multiple perspectives, among which the most important is the typological interpretation of the Passion of Christ. Therefore, the premise is that of an image produced from an existing text. The initial approach departs from the assumption of the existence of a stable iconography whose deviations should be explained better if we assume a literary source for every single iconographic motif. This thesis analyses the limits of this hypothesis. A research of this nature is only possible with a corpus that collects as much information as possible for each artwork to study, along with the most current and relevant data in order to provide a descriptive, critical and bibliographical apparatus. The systematization of this catalogue is one of the contributions of this thesis, because it can serve for future research. The decision to develop an iconographic catalogue as a research tool implies a theoretical and methodological contextualization. On the other hand, it emphasizes that iconographic analysis leads, naturally, to the management of taxonomies. Furthermore, the creation of this catalogue is an unavoidable task. The heuristic principle of cataloguing constitutes the premise not only in the process of traditional systematization of a corpus, but also in the migration to the digital world. Therefore, one of the decisions associated with the creation of the catalogue has been the development of computer software, called Iconoteca, in order to manage all the information collected during the research process to include not only the artworks but also the images associated on each item. The bulk of the thesis consists of the corpus of artworks with representations of the sacrifice of Isaac. The text design of the corpus functions as a query tool and the reader can consult the catalogue modularly in a random manner. The result of such taxonomic approach provides a sound basis for developing and testing hypotheses, such as the relationship between text and image in the iconography of the sacrifice of Isaac. The last chapter develops this approach and consists of a review and a thorough analysis of some iconographic peculiarities of the subject in Spanish medieval art. These peculiarities, although known, had not always received specific attention and this thesis proposes a renewed interpretation.

Full textAbstract:
La present recerca doctoral es dedica a les representacions de Ramon de Penyafort (c.1185-1275) dins del marc de la construcció de la imatge religiosa en època moderna. El punt de partida és l’anàlisi de les primeres figuracions medievals del dominic català, amb l’objectiu d’observar d’una manera àmplia i transversal la gènesi, evolució i variants experimentades en la seva iconografia d’ençà del 1601, quan el personatge assoleix definitivament la santedat.
Els continguts de la tesi s’han organitzat a partir de tres blocs principals, precedits per la introducció i les conclusions pertinents. El primer bloc presenta un recull biogràfic de Ramon de Penyafort com a personatge històric, tot subratllant les principals fites que contribuïren a la seva fama com a jurista i predicador de prestigi, abans d’afrontar detalladament la història del procés de canonització del personatge des de la seva mort l’any 1275, fins a la solemne canonització de 1601, celebrada a la nova Basílica de Sant Pere, sota la cúpula dissenyada per Michelangelo.
El segon bloc de la tesi gira a redós de la difusió del culte a sant Ramon de Penyafort després de 1601 a Catalunya, però també a les penínsules ibèrica i itàlica, completant el marc geogràfic de l’anomenat Mediterrani catòlic. En aquests territoris es constata com durant les primeres dècades del segle XVII el culte a sant Ramon de Penyafort esdevé emergent i genera esplendoroses festes de canonització, però també nous encàrrecs artístics destinats a la veneració del dominic català, entre els quals destaca la desapareguda capella del sant al convent de Santa Caterina de Barcelona.
El tercer bloc temàtic analitza sis qüestions vinculades directament a la imatge raimundiana, que abracen des de la gènesi de les representacions del frare dominic en època medieval, fins a la fixació de la seva iconografia arran de la canonització de 1601. Entre les problemàtiques plantejades, hi ha un especial èmfasi en la creació i difusió de la Transfretació, o viatge miraculós del sant sobre la seva capa entre Mallorca i Barcelona, però també en el seu impacte dins del cicle fundacional de l’Orde de la Mercè de Redempció de captius, així com en els seves conseqüències en època moderna.The thesis analyses the representations of the catalan Dominican Raymond of Penafort (c.1185-1275). Raymond was probably the most famous and respected jurist in canon law of his time. After occupying the Chair of canon law at the University of Bologna, he received the Dominican habit in Barcelona in 1222, and begun a promising career inside the Order of Preachers, that reached the nomination as Great Master in 1239. During those years, Raymond also became a famous writer after his Summa de casibus poenitentiae, a book of cases for confessors. Knowing Raymond's reputation in the juridical sciences, Gregory IX appointed him chaplain and grand penitentiary, and also commissioned him the compilation of the Decretales, the most important collection of canon laws approved officially in 1234, that became a Standard until 1917. After Raymond’s death in the convent of Santa Caterina of Barcelona, his tomb was the scenario of different miraculous healings attributed to the friar’s intercession. This fact attracted many pilgrims and encouraged his brothers to begin a canonization process to ascend Raymond to the glory of the altars. The main objective of the thesis is the study of Raymond’s representations as confluence between art, sanctity and devotion in the modern era. Although the work is chronologically focused in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, in first instance are closely studied the medieval representations of the friar, in order to observe in a wide and transverse view the genesis, evolution and variants experienced on the iconography of the friar before and after his canonization, held in Rome in 1601.

A presente pesquisa, vinculada à linha de pesquisa Processos de Criação e Poéticas do Cotidiano, do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Artes Visuais da Universidade Federal de Pelotas, versa sobre o processo de criação que tece considerações acerca do desenvolvimento e apresentação de vídeos e fotografias que revelam, singularmente, o deslocamento pelas cidades de Pelotas e região. Os trabalhos evidenciam a percepção e o imaginário dos espaços da cidade, assim como investiga e dá a ver as possibilidades de compartilhamento das criações realizadas. Assim, desenvolve-se o tema da criação de cartografias poéticas realizadas a partir da observação da cidade de Pelotas, através do deslocamento urbano, tomando como fundamentações teóricas movimentos artísticos em que os deslocamentos e as vivências com a cidade representam um mote, como o Dadaísmo, o Surrealismo e a Internacional Situacionista, bem como as produções artísticas que utilizam sistemas de apresentação e circulação da obra, nas redes digitais de comunicação e por meios diversos, tais como as dos artistas Hélio Fervenza, Eduarda Gonçalves, Tiffany Trenda, George Brecht, Ralph Rumney, Paulo Bruscky, Daniel Belasco e Thorsten Knaub.

The works show the perception and the imagination of city spaces, as well as investigates and shows the possibilities of sharing made creations. It Develops the theme of creating poetic cartography made from observation of Pelotas through my shift, taking as foundations theoretical and artistic movements in which the displacements and the experiences with the city is a theme, such as Dadaism, Surrealism and International Situacionist, as well as the artistic productions that use presentation systems and work flow in digital communication networks and by various means, such as the artists Hélio Fervenza, Eduarda Gonçalves, Tiffany Trenda, George Brecht, Ralph Rumney, Paulo Bruscky, Daniel Belasco and Thorsten Knaub.

Aquesta tesi doctoral té com a objecte l’estudi dels monuments de Setmana Santa, és a dir les cases de reserva, on entre el Dijous i el Divendres Sant es guardava el Sant Sacrament per a la comunió dels fidels. Partint de l’exemple específic de la catedral de Barcelona, s’explica la història d’aquestes obres, una de les majors manifestacions de l’art efímer en l’època moderna i contemporània. La tesi no només es planteja com un estudi històrico-artístic, sinó que aporta interpretacions tant sociològiques com teològiques, sobre el sentit i ús d’aquestes peces, sotmeses als canvis i transformacions operades en el sí de la societat dels darrers segles. La ritualització de la missa també té protagonisme en tant que el monument hi jugava un paper cabdal en la litúrgia religiosa dins l’església. La rellevància d’aquestes obres d’art queda palesa amb la participació d’artistes tan notables dins el nostre panorama com: Antoni Viladomat, Josep Sunyer i Raurell, Josep Oriol Mestres, August Font i Carreras i Enric Sagnier, entre d’altres. A més de donar a conèixer copiosa informació inèdita sobre aquest camp de recerca, poc atès al nostre país, la tesi s’enriqueix mercès a la troballa i recuperació d’algunes obres d’art que es donaven per desaparegudes i que, per fortuna, s’han conservat i estudiat. A tal efecte, la tesi també pretén obrir nous camps de recerca i ajudar a conèixer més sobre aquesta matèria.This work is focused on the study of Monuments of Easter in Barcelona’s Cathedral along modern and contemporary ages. We call “monument” as the liturgical and artistic piece that is dedicated to keep the Holy Sacrament from Thursday to Friday inside churches and that later, is given to remember the Sacrifice of Christ to catholic community. The study is based on Barcelona’s cathedral, and it explains all the ephemeral structures (most of them made of woodworks, paintings, sculpture pieces and architectonic designs) that were used to look after the Holy Form for this important calendar days. This thesis is presented not only as an study of historical and artistic meaning, but provides both sociological and theological interpretations around this sort of pieces. Besides, our study explains the prominence of the monument that played a crucial role in the religious liturgy inside Church. The relevance of these works is shown with the participation of important Catalan painters, sculptors and architects such: Antoni Viladomat, Josep Sunyer, Josep Oriol Mestres, August Font, Enric Sagnier, etc. Finally this work unveil new information coming from archives and gets enriched of some additional artistic pieces that were given for missing but that luckily have been saved and studied. To sum up, this research tries to open new fields of study about this subject.

Full textAbstract:
Governments around the world are investing heavily in smart card infrastructure to enhance transport services. Studies show that smart card technology can improve reliability, reduce maintenance costs, provide a longer life span, and allow more applications to be incorporated in a transit card. As a result, policy makers and transport owners are interested in extending the use of smart cards from transit to non-transit systems to capitalise on their investment. However, little is known about the conditions under which customers would adopt transit cards for non-transit transactions. In Singapore, a contactless transit smart card (ez-link card) was launched in April 2002 to replace the magnetic stored-value card, which was commissioned in December 1990. The ez-link card was introduced as an integrated public transport card for use both on buses and Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) and Light Rail Transit (LRT) trains. This study was undertaken to evaluate customers' response to the use of the ez-link card for non-transit transactions. As the ez-link card is an information technology (IT) product and the first of its kind in the Singapore public transport system, there is a need to understand and appreciate how customers would respond to the change in its use. Various theories and models such as the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Theory of Diffusion (TD), Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) and Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) were reviewed for their potential to understand and predict customers' intentions to use the ez-link card for non-transit transactions. After much review, the TPB was adopted for identifying the research model and hypotheses in this study. The TPB was used to develop the research model and hypotheses comprising one dependent variable (intention INT) and three independent variables (attitude - ATT, subjective norm - SN and perceived behavioral control - PBC). The TPB was also used to design the questionnaire comprising 16 items to collect data from customers using the ez-link card at bus interchanges and train stations located around Singapore. A pilot survey was conducted on 21 respondents using the intercept interview technique. The data were collected and analysed. With slight modifications, the questionnaire was then used with 300 respondents in the final survey. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data collected from 293 respondents (seven were outliers) using the intercept interview technique in the final survey. Regression analysis explained 80% of the variance in the customers' intention to use the ez-link card for non-transit transactions. While the results provided initial support for the TPB, further examination of the data using exploratory factor analysis revealed high correlations between the ATT and SN. This study concluded that a more parsimonious model would only extract two independent variables (Desirability - DES and Perceived Convenience PEC) to predict customers' intention to use the ez-link card for non-transit transactions. DES and PEC were used to develop a new

Full textAbstract:
This auto-ethnographic study focuses on Houston’s art car community and the grassroots movement’s 25 year relationship with the city through an art form that has created a sense of community. Art cars transform ordinary vehicles into personally conceived visions through spectacle, disrupting status quo messages of dominant culture regarding automobiles and norms of ownership and operation. An annual parade is an egalitarian space for display and performance, including art cars created by individuals who drive their personally modified vehicles every day, occasional entries by internationally renowned artists, and entries created by youth groups. A locally proactive public has created a movement has co-opted the cultural spectacle, creating a community of practice. I studied the events of the Orange Show Center for Visionary Art’s Art Car Weekend to give me insight into art and its value for people in this community. Sources of data included the creation of a participatory art car, journaling, field observation, and semi-structured interviews. The first part is my academic grounding, informed by critical pedagogy and socially reconstructive art practices. The second part narrates my experiences and understandings of the community along with the voices of others. Dominant themes of exploration include empowerment, community, and art. I examine the purposes for participation by artists, as well in the practices of audiences and organizations that provide support for this art form. My findings have significant implications community-based art education and k-12 classroom educators. Relational and dialogic approaches to making art, teaching, and researching are tied to problem-posing education as a recommendation for art education.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractCard-based cryptography started with the “five-card trick” designed by Den Boer (EUROCRYPT 1989); it enables Alice and Bob to securely evaluate the AND value of their private bits using a physical deck of five cards. It was then shown that the same task can be done with only four cards, i.e., Mizuki et al. proposed a four-card AND protocol (ASIACRYPT 2012). These two AND protocols are simple and easy even for non-experts, such as high school students, to execute. Their only common drawback is the need to prepare a customized deck consisting of red and black cards such that all cards of the same color must be identical. Fortunately, several existing protocols are based on a standard deck of playing cards (commercially available). Among them, the state-of-the-art AND protocol was constructed by Koch et al. (ASIACRYPT 2019); it uses four playing cards (such as ‘A, J, Q, K’) to securely evaluate the AND value. The protocol is elaborate, while its possible drawback is the need to repeat a shuffling operation six times (in expectation), which makes it less practical.This paper aims to provide the first practical protocol working on a standard deck of playing cards. We present an extremely simple AND protocol that terminates after only one shuffle using only four cards; our proposed protocol relies on a new operation, called the “half-open” action, whereby players can check only the suit of a face-down card without revealing the number on it. We believe that this new operation is easy-to-implement, and hence, our four-card AND protocol working on a standard deck is practical. We formalize the half-open action to present a formal description of our proposed protocol. Moreover, we discuss what is theoretically implied by introducing the half-open action and show that it can be applied to efficiently solving Yao’s Millionaires’ problem with a standard deck of cards.

AbstractKnitting punch cards codify different stitch patterns into binary patterns, telling the machine when to change color or to generate different stitch types. This research utilizes Neural Networks (NN) and image-based Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), with an image database of knitting punch cards, to generate new punch card designs. The hypothesis is that artificial intelligence will learn the basic underlying structures of the punch cards and the pattern makeup that is inherent across patterns of different styles and cultures. Different neural networks were utilized throughout the research, such as Neural Style Transfer (NST), AdaIN Style Transfers, and StyleGAN2. The results from these explorations offer different insights into pattern design and various outcomes of the different neural networks. Ultimately physically testing these punch card designs, these patterns were knit on a domestic knitting machine, resulting in novel fabrication and design techniques that are both digital and craft-based.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractSecure payment is an essential element of digital commerce in a world where cash is becoming redundant, credit cards are becoming less and less critical, and mobile devices are becoming means of payment. Therefore, it must be considered through the lens of various payment methods: Credit cards have been around since the 1950s, but the introduction of chip technology and contactless payment raises new challenges for the security of payments. Commercial payment service providers, such as credit card issuers or infrastructure operators, typically implement secure payment. Additionally, there are open-source payment gateways that facilitate the transfer of payment information. The providers of these open-source solutions claim that their products facilitate integration with existing systems on the client side and provide better customization due to their modularity and adaptability.

Hierarchical switching networks connecting hundreds to thousands of servers are common in most large corporations. The state-of-the-art switches used in those networks are usually implemented by interconnecting a set of line cards that connect to hosts with a set of fabric cards that connect to other switches. This paper presents a new approach to implementing those switches using innovative packaging techniques that permit the 3-dimensional line/fabric card structure to be flattened into a 2-dimensional array of switch chips packaged on a PCB. The result of this flattening is a non-hierarchical network topology that we call a “flat tree”. This new approach reduces cost and complexity while improving performance and signal integrity.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This paper presents a holistic approach to modern oilfield and well surveillance through the inclusion of state-of-the-art edge computing applications in combination with a novel type of data transmission technology and algorithms developed in-house for automatic condition monitoring of SRP systems. The objective is to enable the responsible specialist staff to focus on the most important decisions regarding oilfield management, rather than wasting time with data collection and preparation. An own operated data communication system, based on LPWAN-technology transfers the dyno-cards, generated by an electric load cell, into the in-house developed production assistance software platform. Suitable programmed AI-algorithms enable automatic condition detection of the incoming dyno cards, including conversion and analysis of the corresponding subsurface dynamograms. A smart alarming system informs about occurring failure conditions and specifies whether an incident of rod rupture, pump-off condition, gas lock or paraffin precipitation occurred in the well. A surface mounted measuring device delivers liquid level and bottomhole pressure information automatically into the software. Based on these diverse data, the operations team plans the subsequent activities. The holistic application approach is illustrated using the case study of an SPR-operated well in an Austrian brownfield.

In this paper, the authors describe the real-time CPU-based implementation of the virtual view synthesis algorithm for high-resolution omnidirectional content. The proposed method allows a user of the immersive video virtually navigating within the scene captured by a multiview system comprised of 360-degree or 180-degree cameras. The proposed method does not require using powerful graphic cards as other state-of-the-art real-time synthesis methods. Instead, the emerge of consumer-grade multithreaded CPUs and CPU-based virtual view synthesis, allows further development of cheap, consumer immersive video systems. The proposed method was compared with the state-of-the-art view synthesis algorithm – RVS, both in terms of quality of synthesized views and computational time required for the synthesis, presenting the usefulness of the proposed method.

Digitization is the process of converting information into a digital format. The economy that is based on digital computing technologies is known as Digital Economy. The digital economy is also sometimes called the Internet Economy or Web Economy. Right now, in most of the countries, inside the people's wallet, they probably have a couple of credit cards, an identification card, automatic teller machine cards (ATM card) and maybe a few other plastic cards. Without realizing it, these plastic cards have become a very important part of their life. Currently smart cards can be seen in the transportation, telecommunication and retail sectors. In this paper we are providing the combination of digitization and digital economy and aim to propose designing and implementation of a Student Card System for higher educational institutes using smart card technology. Smart card is a card which contains a barcode which is nothing but a unique card that is assigned to the student. A barcode is a series of alternating dark and light stripes that are read by an optical scanner. It is an automatic identification technology. A barcode is an optical, machine-readable, representation of data the data usually describes something about the object that carries the barcode. The student smart card can be used to ease the work of students. This card is useful for the students in places like library, canteen, stationary shops and online storage of important documents. From there we can see the potential and power of smart cards their versatility and usability.

Full textAbstract:
Cash is still widely used in Colombia, even among merchants that accept payment cards. Indeed, 60% of these merchants use dissuasive strategies to make their clients pay with cash. This shows that merchant service costs (MSC) for cards are not optimal in the sense of the Tourist Test. We present estimates of MSC compatible with the Tourist Test, such that merchants are indifferent between being paid with cash or cards. We find that cash is less costly than cards at the average retail-sales transaction-value, hence there is no positive optimal MSC at this ticket value. For the average card transaction ticket, the optimal MSC would be positive but far below the rates charge by the industry (0.74% in a short-term scenario). Yet, the additional incentive that sales-tax evasion provides to cash payments reduces the Tourist Test MSC to 0.44%. Our estimates for long-term scenarios yield even lower optimal MSC. An average price cap regulation that strikes a middle ground between these figures, and is complemented with sales-tax evasion measures, should discourage merchant strategies that deter consumers from paying with cards and will accommodate the wide heterogeneity in merchants´ scale, payment processing processes and ticket size. These results should be taken as a guideline as the estimations depend on the underlying assumptions and only consider the merchant´s side of the card industry.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this paper is to analyze a program that extends credit cards to agricultural input suppliers and rural producers in Costa Rica and to determine whether this program is financially viable and potentially replicable in other rural areas of Latin America. A credit card program is very innovative and unusual for a rural setting. Normally, credit cards have been promoted in urban areas with business firms and salaried employees who have steady cash flows. Credit cards in rural areas are not as common because potential clients, especially agricultural producers, have more seasonal and uncertain monthly cash flows. This paper seeks specifically (1) to recount the genesis of an agricultural credit card program; (2) to describe the product, the typical client, and service delivery methodology; (3) to analyze the financial performance of this product; and (4) to conclude with outstanding challenges facing the expansion and replication of the product.

Building on the scientific evidence and keeping in focus policy promises made over the decades, this report mobilizes the power of socially engaged art to bring together visions and voices of youth from across the globe in a collective effort to address the root causes of the climate crisis. It starts with the premise that education is directly implicated in the climate crisis and our failure to imagine alternatives. But it can also be the catalyst for radical change. Aiming to shift and shuffle the dominant knowledge systems and categories with the cards from the Turn It Around! deck, this report urges you to turn toward the reality of the climate crisis by capturing its devastating impacts from youth perspective in a way statistical data might not. It challenges existing education policies, practices, and patterns as no longer possible, tolerable, or even thinkable. With the powerful imagination and creativity of youth, the report activates a series of turning points — intergenerational, decolonial, methodological, and pedagogical — in order to turn around the environmental catastrophe, while reconfiguring the role of education toward ecologically just and sustainable futures.

Cruces, Guillermo. Conditional Cash Transfers, Debit Cards and Financial Inclusion: Experimental Evidence from Argentina. Inter-American Development Bank, August 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0005079.
Full textAbstract:
Cash transfer and other social protection programs in developing countries have often been accompanied by measures to foster financial inclusion, such as the adoption and use of bank accounts and electronic means of payments. Argentina's social benefits are paid in bank accounts and accessed through debit cards. With the simultaneous objective of fostering formality among beneficiaries and stores, the use of debit cards for purchases has been incentivized by means of additional subsidies. We studied the low take-up of these extra benefits by means of a field experiment involving 400,000 beneficiaries of Argentinas largest conditional cash-transfer program (with 2.2 million beneficiaries who are the parents of four million children, 40% of the countrys 0-17-year olds). By using their debit card to spend the allowance, rather than withdrawing cash from ATMs, they can receive a rebate of 15% of their expenditures. However, they systematically fail to claim this benefit: only about 25% of beneficiaries receive this transfer. Our experiment provided information about the effectiveness of an information campaign conducted via text messages or through on-screen messages at ATM machines. The campaign increased purchases with debit cards and subsequent rebates significantly but not substantially in the short run. However, beneficiaries who increased their use of debit cards do not exhibit a higher probability of having access to credit through the financial system, nor higher levels of formal employment. The results indicate that cultural factors (a preference for cash), administrative hassle and citizen security issues are relevant issues that limit the potential of financial inclusion through increased use of digital means of payment.

Arrested people across the United States often wait in jail for days, weeks, or even months before seeing a judge or meeting an attorney. In November 2021, the Deason Criminal Justice Reform Center published Ending Injustice: Solving the Initial Appearance Crisis, a comprehensive report about this ongoing crisis in pre-trial due process. That report described the devastating consequences of delayed and uncounseled initial appearances. Now, these Initial Appearance Report Cards offer a closer look at the laws governing post-arrest procedures in each U.S. state, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. While the Deason Center’s previous report provided an overview of the initial appearance crisis nationwide, the Initial Appearance Report Cards are a rigorous assessment of the laws in almost every jurisdiction in the country. These report cards reveal enormous gaps in the legal protections accorded to people accused of crimes, illuminating both the scope of the initial appearance crisis and our urgent need to solve it.

Full textAbstract:
Uruguay implemented an ambitious financial inclusion program that included a fiscal stimulus through VAT rebates and subsidies for point of sale (POS) adoption. One of its main provisions banned cash payment of wages and social benefits and forced financial institutions to open wage-accounts with extremely beneficial conditions. In the aggregate, the number of debit cards transactions increased sharply. We test the wage-banking channel of the financial program exploiting differences in the treatment intensity between public sector and private sector workers. We find that while the provision of bank accounts increased the number of debit cards, it had modest effects on the probability of payment with cards that are mostly produced by a more intensive use of debit cards by those who already had them before the Financial Inclusion Act went into effect. Thus, the aggregate effects must be produced by the fiscal channel of the financial inclusion program. Finally, we fail to find effects on either access to short-term credit or expenditure or savings.

The survey shows that most in-person payments are made by tapping cards or mobile devices, even for small purchases. This means the share of in-person transactions made with cash halved, from 32 per cent to 16 per cent, over the three years to 2022. The demographic groups that traditionally used cash more frequently for payments – such as the elderly, those on lower incomes and those in regional areas – saw the largest declines in cash use. Cash usage has generally been replaced with card payments. While Australians are aware of and use a range of other newer payment methods, such as digital wallets and buy now, pay later services, they still make up a small share of payments.
