Abstract:
The measurement of a stocks return over a time period is analysed for several reasons. The most obvious and most important one is to inform investors’ expectations regarding future earnings potential. Therefore, the study made a comparison using the financial performance of single-listed shares versus dual-listed shares that trade primarily on the South African stock market (JSE). The time-period for the comparison of financial performance of single- and dual-listed shares was from 2005 to 2020 to confirm or refute the general perception surrounding superior returns of dual-listed companies as opposed to single-listed companies. Utilising financial ratios can be imperative when making informed judgments about investment portfolios. Seven of the most important financial ratios were used to measure the performance of company shares within nine specified industry sectors in South Africa. These included the earnings per share ratio (EPS), price-earnings ratio (P/E), market to book value ratio (M/B), current ratio (CR), debt to equity ratio (DER), and the return on equity ratio (ROE). The nine identified industries included the transport, consumer staples, printing, pharmaceutical, mining and manufacturing, technology, luxury goods and services, financial services, and real estate industries. The results indicate that the dual-listed companies do indeed outperform single-listed companies on the JSE for the majority of the financial ratios over the specified period. This study contributes to portfolio management by informing equity allocation in the short-term and long-term.

Abstract:
Most approaches to examining the effects of marketing variables on market shares treat the market as a single aggregate. Examining the marketing effects at the segment level would be more useful managerially. Recently, Grover and Srinivasan proposed that a market segment be defined as a group of consumers homogeneous in terms of the probabilities of choosing the different brands in a product class. The market is thereby segmented into brand loyal segments and multiple switching segments. The authors extend this approach to allow the within-switching-segment market shares to vary across periods. The changes over time in within-segment market shares are related to marketing variables such as price and promotion through a logit model. Application of the model to data from a scanner panel shows that the proposed approach produces a modest improvement in predictive validity in comparison with the traditional approach of treating the market as a single aggregate.

Abstract:
The operation and performance of a six degree-of-freedom (DOF) shared-aperture tracking system with image overlay is described. This unique tracking technology shares the same aperture or scanned optical beam with the visual display, virtual retinal display (VRD). This display technology provides high brightness in an AR helmet-mounted display, especially in the extreme environment of a military cockpit. The VRD generates an image by optically scanning visible light directly to the viewer's eye. By scanning both visible and infrared light, the head-worn display can be directly coupled to a head-tracking system. As a result, the proposed tracking system requires minimal calibration between the user's viewpoint and the tracker's viewpoint. This paper demonstrates that the proposed shared-aperture tracking system produces high accuracy and computational efficiency. The current proof-of-concept system has a precision of +/− 0.05 and +/− 0.01 deg. in the horizontal and vertical axes, respectively. The static registration error was measured to be 0.08 +/− 0.04 and 0.03 +/− 0.02 deg. for the horizontal and vertical axes, respectively. The dynamic registration error or the system latency was measured to be within 16.67 ms, equivalent to our display refresh rate of 60 Hz. In all testing, the VRD was fixed and the calibrated motion of a robot arm was tracked. By moving the robot arm within a restricted volume, this real-time shared-aperture method of tracking was extended to six-DOF measurements. Future AR applications of our shared-aperture tracking and display system will be highly accurate head tracking when the VRD is helmet mounted and worn within an enclosed space, such as an aircraft cockpit.

Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyse the performance of UK property funds using the dual sources of active management, Active Share and tracking error, to distinguish between the types of active management styles used by funds. Design/methodology/approach – The authors use data on 38 UK real estate funds and classify them into five active management categories using the dual sources of active management, Active Share and tracking error. Then, the authors compare their return performance against Active Share, tracking error, fund size and leverage. Therefore the paper is able to answer two of the fundamental questions of investment: does active management add value and what form of active management, stock selection or factor risk, is better at adding value to the fund? Findings – There are three main conclusions. First, the approach of Cremers and Petajisto (2009) and Petajisto (2010) is able to classify real estate funds in the UK on their management activity into categories that makes intuitive sense and seem stable over time. Second, balanced funds show relatively low Active Shares and particularly low tracking errors, due to the benefits of property-type diversification. In contrast, specialists funds display higher Active Shares and both low and high tracking errors depending on their stock-picking approach; diversified or concentrated. Third, an analysis over different time periods confirmed that funds in the sample essentially remained in the same categories within the sample period, even during markedly different market return periods. This implies that investors need to constantly monitor changes in the market and switch between fund management styles, if at all possible. Research limitations/implications – The analysis was only based on 38 funds with complete data over the sample period and the relationship between fees and active management was not examined, even though ultimately investors are concerned with returns after management fee. It would be instructive therefore if the number of funds and time period was expanded to see if the results are robust and to see whether management fees outweigh the benefits of active manager. Practical implications – The findings should enable investors to make a more informed investment decisions in the future. Originality/value – To the best of the author’s knowledge this is the first paper to apply the dual sources of active management, Active Share and tracking error, in the UK real estate market.

Abstract:
Although the Multiple Object Tracking (MOT) task is a widely used experimental method for studying divided attention, tracking objects in the real world usually looks different. For example, in the real world, objects are usually clearly distinguishable from each other and also possess different movement patterns. One such case is tracking groups of creatures, such as tracking fish in an aquarium. We used movies of fish in an aquarium and measured general tracking performance in this task (Experiment 1). In Experiment 2, we compared tracking accuracy within-subjects in fish tracking, tracking typical MOT stimuli, and in a third condition using standard MOT uniform objects which possessed movement patterns similar to the real fish. This third condition was added to further examine the impact of different motion characteristics on tracking performance. Results within a Bayesian framework showed that tracking real fish shares similarities with tracking simple objects in a typical laboratory MOT task. Furthermore, we observed a close relationship between performance in both laboratory MOT tasks (typical and fish-like) and real fish tracking, suggesting that the commonly used laboratory MOT task possesses a good level of ecological validity.

Abstract:
The issue of determining the appropriate timing for the decisions of buying and selling shares is one of the most important topics and the concern of all investors in the stock market, whether they are natural or Morality persons . This interest has been generated by many of those interested in technical analysis to invent techniques, methods and indicators for the purpose of analyzing the performance of the stock market. Maximize the chances of profit and reduce the chances of loss, and investors suffer from the problem of choosing the right time to conduct the sale or purchase of shares of different sectors and companies, and contribute technical analysis techniques in tracking the movement of the prices of those shares to indicate their direction If it is in the case of continuous rise or in the case of continuous decline, if the trend of the movement of shares in the case of continuous rise, this rise will not continue to the end must come a period of time in which prices fluctuate and change direction downward and vice versa in the case of continuous decline, Technical analysis techniques that move through the different graphics and shapes we can use and make use of in the timing of buying and selling shares. There are a lot of technical analysis techniques including Japanese candlesticks, RSI and many more, but important when we want to use We need to use at least two analytical techniques in order to avoid uncertainty in determining the real market trends and thus making the right investment decision, whether it is the sale of shares and the analysis of the mechanism of supply and demand.

Abstract:
A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) method that shares the same frequency band can efficiently increase radar performance. An essential element of a MIMO radar is the orthogonality of the waveform. Typically, orthogonality is obtained by spreading different signals into divided domains such as in time-domain multiplexing, frequency-domain multiplexing, and code domain multiplexing. This paper proposes a method of spreading the interference signals outside the range bins of interest for pulse doppler radars. This is achieved by changing the pulse repetition frequency under certain constraints, and an additional gain can be obtained by doppler processing. This method is very effective for improving the angular accuracy of the MIMO radar for a small number of air targets, although it may have limitations in use for many targets or in high clutter environments.

This paper aims to analyze the development of share waqf in Indonesia and the regulation of legal certainty in the implementation of share waqf. This research method uses qualitative methods with literature study as the approach. Source of data in the form of library publications. The type of data is in the form of written narratives or documents contained in publication sources. Data collection techniques are carried out by tracking the sources of these publications. The data analysis technique is descriptive. This article finds that share waqf in Indonesia has developed from 2019 to 2020 since the idea of ​​​​its presence. This can be seen based on the nominal number of shares waqf in institutions that have obtained legal legality. However, the regulations that form the legal basis for the implementation of share waqf do not yet have rules that specifically regulate share waqf in detail. The rules used are limited to the explanation of cash waqf and general productive waqf.

Abstract:
2008/2009
Il lavoro ha ad oggetto l’istituto giuridico delle azioni correlate o di settore (già noto e diffuso in ordinamenti stranieri con il nome tracking stocks e tracking shares), introdotto nell’ordinamento giuridico italiano dalla recente riforma di diritto societario al fine di rendere le forme di finanziamento della società per azioni più efficienti, flessibili e maggiormente adatte alle esigenze degli investitori e dei mercati di capitali. Tale strumento di partecipazione azionaria offre l’opportunità di un investimento remunerato secondo la produttività di uno specifico settore dell’attività esercitata dalla società emittente. Ai sensi del novellato art. 2350, comma 2, c.c., le azioni correlate sono, infatti, “azioni fornite di diritti patrimoniali correlati ai risultati dell’attività sociale in un determinato settore”. Lo studio si apre con l’analisi delle ragioni economico-finanziarie sottostanti l’emissione di tracking stocks, soffermandosi sul diversification discount, la corporate governance, l’asimmetria informativa, le operazioni straordinarie di ristrutturazione aziendale, i particolari equilibri nell’ambito di compagini complesse, l’incentivazione ai managers, la predisposizione di poison pills in caso di scalate ostili. Il precedente storico dell’istituto risale al 1984 quando General Motors al fine di acquisire Electronic Data System attribuì agli azionisti di quest’ultima azioni correlate al core business della medesima società acquisita. La prima operazione europea di ammissione alla quotazione di azioni correlate è avvenuta in Francia nel 2000, anno in cui Alcatel S.A. collocava sul premier marchè azioni correlate all’attività della società controllata Alcatel Optronics. In Italia, le tre società chiuse AIMAG S.p.A. (2006), ATAF S.p.A. (2005) e Friulia S.p.A. (2005) e l’investment company quotata Cape Live S.p.A. (2007) hanno emesso azioni correlate. Vengono approfonditi, tra l’altro, l’ambito di applicabilità dell’istituto, con particolare riguardo alla definizione di settore, alle divisional tracking stocks ed alle subsidiary tracking stocks, e la correlazione dei diritti patrimoniali ai risultati di un settore specifico di attività sociale esercitata dall’emittente (correlazione in senso forte, o close tracking, e correlazione in senso debole, o loose tracking), quale elemento minimo e caratterizzante tale categoria azionaria. Si conclude che sul piano strutturale e funzionale il risultato del settore rappresenta il parametro quantitativo, il criterio, relativo o assoluto, fisso o variabile, per il calcolo della parte di risultato di esercizio di spettanza delle azioni correlate. Sono analizzati, poi, i diritti patrimoniali tipici delle azioni correlate, quali il diritto agli utili, la partecipazione alle perdite ed il diritto alla quota di liquidazione, e i diritti amministrativi, quali il diritto di voto in assemblea generale ed in assemblea speciale, anche nel contesto dell’autonomia statutaria. Il lavoro prosegue con la trattazione del tema dell’accertamento del risultato di settore e delle modalità di rendicontazione da inserirsi all’interno dello statuto. Si argomenta che il risultato di settore non può considerarsi concetto giuridico e/o contabile predefinito e non rappresenta il contenuto del diritto patrimoniale dell’azionista, ma solo un parametro di commisurazione dello stesso, in funzione del criterio di correlazione prescelto. Viene trattato, inoltre, il diritto di conversione delle azioni correlate in azioni ordinarie come meccanismo di exit, funzionale a disciplinare la sorte delle azioni correlate al verificarsi di predeterminati eventi o condizioni. Si esaminano le clausole di conversione ricorrenti nella prassi internazionale, di cui si verifica la compatibilità con l'ordinamento italiano. Infine, vengono identificate le nuove criticità di corporate governance cui le azioni correlate danno luogo, come ad esempio le nuove conflittualità orizzontali tra i soci relative all’allocazione di risorse, delle opportunità d’affari (corporate opportunities), delle spese e dei costi comuni. In tale contesto si forniscono alcuni standards di condotta che gli amministratori di società multi settoriali devono seguire, onde evitare di incorrere in responsabilità verso la società, i soci o i creditori sociali. In tale contesto, si parte dalla constatazione di carattere economico per cui l’impresa multi settoriale è accostabile al fenomeno del gruppo di società ovvero dell’imprenditore-persona fisica o comunque soggetto che abbia rilevanti interessi economici in altre imprese, individuali o collettive. E’ interesse comune a tutti gli azionisti sia che la società mantenga un sano equilibrio economico e finanziario sia che la società venga gestita, nel suo complesso, in modo efficiente. Nel caso in cui la società è insolvente perdono tutti i soci. Una gestione economicamente efficiente conduce alla massimizzazione del valore aggregato delle azioni, cui corrisponde la massimizzazione del valore di ciascuna categoria di azioni, cuore della teoria del c.d. shareholder value. In tale prospettiva l'attenzione si sposta necessariamente sulle modalità gestionali. Infatti, tale interesse comune può essere perseguito esclusivamente attraverso una continua e costante azione perequativa da parte degli amministratori volta ad armonizzare ed ottimizzare il funzionamento particolare di ciascun settore con quello degli altri.

This qualitative case study examined leaders’ shared data use, a process of translating data into action (Bernhardt, 2013). Understanding data use is considered conceptually by attending to the assistance relationships shared between central office leaders and principals in the context of turnaround. Such relationships are marked by occasions during which members share expertise by modeling practices; the modeling informs how systems, structures and subsequent practices are introduced and even reinforced for newer members. I focused my analysis on four manifestations of data use: data’s influence on adjusting leadership practice, data’s ability to inform instruction, data use’s benefits from technological advancement, and the intentional promotion of resilience. Data collection included document review as well as interviews with central office leaders and principals. Findings evidenced the nature of both central office leaders’ and principals’ data use as well as revealed a remarkable degree of commonality in the language and practices these leaders shared. The results of this study indicated that assistance relationships are a functioning element of leadership in the turnaround context. This study supported the research that leaders’ shared practice of data use benefits student growth and achievement in line with state-determined assessment and accountability targets. Recommendations include additional research into Lawrence Public Schools’ data use to further inform a blueprint for comprehensive district-wide reform as well as the development of exit criteria from receivership

Abstract:
Presented is a method for estimating the planar position, velocity, and orientation states of a tagged shark. The method is designed for implementation on an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) equipped with a stereo-hydrophone and receiver system that detects acoustic signals transmitted by a tag. The particular hydrophone system used here provides a measurement of relative bearing angle to the tag, but does not provide the sign (+ or -) of the bearing angle. A particle filter was used for fusing measurements over time to produce a state estimate of the tag location. The particle filter combined with an active control system allowed the system to overcome the ambiguity in the sign of the bearing angle. This state estimator was validated by tracking a stationary tag and moving tag with known positions. These experiments revealed state estimate errors were on par with those obtained by manually driven boat based tracking systems, the current method used for tracking fish and sharks over long distances. Final experiments involved the catching, releasing, and an autonomous AUV tracking of a 1 meter leopard shark (Triakis semifasciata) in SeaPlane Lagoon, Los Angeles, California.

Abstract:
This thesis presents the integration of an acoustic tracking system within an autonomous underwater AUV (AUV) to enable real-time tracking of sharks tagged with artificial acoustic sources. The tracking system consists of two hydrophones and a receiver unit that outputs a measurement of the relative angle to the tagged shark. Since only two hydrophones are used, the sign of the relative angle measurement is unknown. To overcome this ambiguity, a particle filter algorithm was developed to estimate the position of the acoustic source. When combined with an active control system that drives vehicle to obtain different orientations with respect to the acoustic source, real-time autonomous localization, tracking, and following of a tagged shark is shown to be possible. Four types of ocean experiments were used to validate the system including: 1) AUV tracking of a stationary tag, 2) AUV tracking of a tagged kayak, 3) AUV tracking of a tagged AUV, and 4) AUV tracking of a tagged shark. These experiments were analyzed with respect to the localization error, associated error variance, and distance between the AUV and the tag. The final shark tracking experiments took place in SeaPlane Lagoon, Los Angeles, CA, where the AUV was able to autonomously track and follow a tagged Leopard Shark for several hours.

Tidigare forskning är inte enig om aktivt förvaltade fonder presterar bättre eller sämre än index. Då hänsyn inte tas till olika nivåer av aktivitet tycks de flesta studier visa att aktiv förvaltning är en förlustaffär för fondsparare. Vi introducerar ett nytt mått på aktivitet, aktivitetsgrad, som utgår från de åtgärder förvaltaren vidtar. Aktivitetsgraden definieras av mängden och storleken på förändringar i portföljsammansättningen som sker under ett kvartal. Vi undersöker aktivitetsgraden hos 22 svenska småbolagsfonder mellan 2008 och 2013 och finner att de flesta fonder har en låg aktivitetsgrad. Vi finner att aktivitetsgraden verkar negativt på prestation samt att aktivitetsgrad är bättre på att förutsäga prestation än Tracking Error.

Abstract:
La variété des situations auxquelles sont confrontés les acteurs de la vie des affaires, et l’importance des sommes en jeu, constituent un aiguillon particulièrement stimulant pour la réflexion des spécialistes dans le domaine financier et juridique. Un engouement s’enracine également dans la tendance des marchés financiers à exiger une plus grande transparence dans la gestion des groupes diversifiés, dont la lisibilité financière est souvent réduite. Une telle exigence de lisibilité est au cœur de la définition des actions traçantes. Apparues outre-Atlantique au début des années 80, elles ont bénéficié, avec l’avènement de la nouvelle économie, d’un regain d’intérêt notable et d’un volume d’émission élevé sur le marché financier américain depuis les années 90. L’émission d’actions traçantes, mis à part leur nature hybride, constitue une mesure de restructuration assez particulière qui vient compléter la base d’études déjà constituée sur le thème de la restructuration de capitaux. Cette recherche a pour ambition de montrer comment introduire les actions traçantes sur le marché financier français et plus particulièrement, elle permettra d’élargir le choix des formes de restructuration qui seront présentés pour des entreprises souhaitant chercher de nouvelles sources de financement, se procurer de nouveaux moyens d’acquisition et atteindre l’objectif fondamental qui est celui de la création de valeur. De ce fait, l’émission d’actions traçantes se trouvera en concurrence avec d’autres formes de restructuration (scission et apport partiel d’actif). Par conséquent, on présentera les facteurs dont les entreprises devront tenir compte dans le choix des restructurations envisagées
The variety of situations faced by actors of the business concerning their field, and the importance of the amount of money involved, is considered as a mind moving element particularly for specialists in financial and legal matters. Enthusiasm is also rooted in the financial markets which tend to require greater transparency from groups, including financial visibility that is often reduced. Such a requirement is highly recommended in the definition of tracking stock. Emerged across the Atlantic in the early 80s, they have benefited, with the advent of the new economy, a noticeable income of interest and have increased since the early '90s until now through a large number of issuances on the U.S. financial market. The issuance of tracking stock, apart from its hybrid nature, contains a certain measure of restructuring rather special that completes the basis of studies already made on the subject of capital restructuring. This research also aims to show how to introduce tracking stock on the French financial market, and more particularly to expand the choice of forms of restructuring that will be presented to companies in hope to seek new funding sources, to obtain new ways of acquisition and achieve a fundamental objective which is the creation of value. Therefore, the issuing of tracking stock will have to compete with other forms of restructuring (spin-off, equity carve-out). Thus, we present the factors that companies should deem when choosing the restructuring proposed

Abstract:
The mechanisms and functions of shark grouping behaviour have received relatively little scientific attention to date. The current widespread use of social network analysis to study animal groups, in concert with rapid advances in animal tracking technology, now allows us to test specific hypotheses about how and why sharks form groups. This thesis uses replicated laboratory experiments to investigate some of the mechanisms underpinning aggregation in a model species of benthic, oviporous elasmobranch, the small spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula L. 1758; Scyliorhinidae). Acoustic tracking of this species in the wild is also conducted to explore how network analyses can be adopted to study the localized movements, habitat connectivity and ranging behaviour of adult sharks. Groups of juvenile S. canicula were characterized by non-random social preferences, crucially, only when individuals were familiar with one another suggesting social recognition is important in young sharks of this species. Genetic analyses of parent and offspring DNA revealed very high levels of multiple paternity in this species, likely due to male sexual harassment and multiple mating, which leads to increased genetic diversity between juvenile sharks. Perhaps unsurprisingly, there was no evidence of kin relatedness structuring social interactions between conspecifics. Furthermore, testing the effects of environment on social behaviour provided evidence that these juveniles aggregated more in structurally complex environments than simple ones. However, at the individual level sharks showed consistency in their social network positions through time and across different habitat types. This result is indicative of personality traits in S. canicula. Using data gathered via passive acoustic telemetry of wild shark behaviour, network analysis provided a useful tool with which to quantify movement between receivers. One chapter has been dedicated to the application of these methods, highlighting a number of different analyses for predicting movement behaviour from such data. Finally, these methods were adopted to address ecological questions in this sexually segregated species. Persistent site fidelity to a localised inshore area by both male and female sharks suggested that segregation occurred at a relatively small spatial and temporal scale. Despite strong evidence of segregation, analyses of movement networks and individual co-occurrences revealed distinct periods of behavioural synchronicity during the months of March, April and May. In addition, habitat complexity appeared to be a significant driver of female behavioural strategy. Enhancing our knowledge of the social and environmental drivers of aggregation and movement in sharks is of great importance given the ecological threat facing many of our ocean’s top elasmobranch predators.

Full text
Abstract:
Autonomous driving vehicles introduce challenging research areas combining differ-ent disciplines. One challenge is the detection of obstacles with different sensors and the combination of information to generate a comprehensive representation of the environment, which can be used for path planning and decision making.The sensor fusion is demonstrated using two Velodyne multi beam laser scanners, but it is possible to extend the proposed sensor fusion framework for different sensor types. Sensor fusion methods are highly dependent on an accurate pose estimate, which can not be guaranteed in any case. A fault tolerant sensor fusion based on the Dempster Shafer theory to take the uncertainty of the pose estimate into account is discussed and compared using an example, although not implemented on the test vehicle.Based on the fused occupancy grid map, dynamic obstacles are tracked to give a velocity estimate without the need of any object or track association methods. Ex-periments are carried out on real world data as well as on simulated measurements, for which a ground truth reference is provided.The occupancy grid mapping algorithm runs on central- and graphical-processing units, which allows to give a comparison between the two approaches and to stress out which approach is preferably used, depending on the application.

Detta kan naturligtvis användas för att förbättra fordonets planerade rutt och därmed också minska klimatpåverkan. Här används två sammankopplade Velodyne laserstrålsensorer för att undersöka detta Närmare, men det går också att utöka antalet sensorer ytterligare. Sammanlänkningen av sensorer är mycket känslig och kräver därför exakta koordinater, vilket inte alltid kan garanteras. Därför utreds istället om en sensor baserad på Dempster Shaferteorin kan användas för att hantera fel och osäkerheter. Denna används dock inte i testfordonet. Baserat på en sammanvägd kartbild över upptagna och fria områden (occupancy grid mapping) kan objekt och hinder i rörelse följas för att uppskatta fordonets hastighet utan att metoder för objekt- eller banidentifiering behöver användas. Experiment har utförts på verklig data. Dessutom används simulerade mätningar där en sann grundreferens används. Algoritmen som används för occupancy-kartan använder sig av central- och grafik-processorenheter, vilket ger oss möjlighet att jämföra två metoder och finna den bäst fungerande metoden för olika applikationer.

Abstract:
We investigate the activity and performance of 64 Swedish registered mutual equity funds available in the Swedish Premium Pension System from October 2002 to December 2011. Fund activity is measured by applying the holdings based analysis Active Share combined with Tracking Error Volatility (TEV). Active Share is a relatively new measure that compares a fund’s holdings with its benchmark index constituents (Cremers & Petajisto, 2009; Petajisto, 2013). This is used as a proxy for the fund’s stock selection strategy. As a complement, TEV is used as a proxy for the factor timing strategy. Performance are measured by using Jensen’s (1968) model, Fama and French’s (1993) model and Carhart’s (1997) model. We document that Swedish funds in the Premium Pension System are relatively passive in term of Active Share compared to US funds. We attribute this finding to the relative number of stocks held by a fund compared to the market. Swedish equity funds hold a relatively larger share of the number of stocks in the Swedish market while US funds hold a relatively smaller share of the stocks in the US market. We run a panel regression analysis to test the relation between Active Share and various variables. We find that funds with higher TER fees and fewer stocks on average have higher Active Share. There are also indications that TEV is positively related to Active Share. However, the overall explanatory power of the variables is low. We attribute this as evidence that Active Share is an independent measure of fund activity. Overall, we find neutral performance for an equally weighted portfolio of all funds in the PPS. To examine the performance differences between different levels of activity, we sort funds into five portfolios based on Active Share and TEV. The results show that, given a medium-to-low TEV, funds with high Active Share significantly outperform funds with low Active Share. Furthermore, it appears that the fee rebate in the Premium Pension System is important especially for the passive funds. Without the rebate, the passive funds underperform significantly. We run a panel regression analysis on the future fund performance to test the predictive abilities of Active Share and TEV. The results indicate that Active Share does not explain future performance differences. Conversely, TEV is negatively related to future performance which can be explained by fund managers being overconfident

Abstract:
This chapter analyzes the processes of transporting community-based dance practices to the stage, and argues that previously dominant formulations of “appropriation” are not complex enough to theorize this “political economy” of dance practices, practitioners, and audiences as dance forms move across cultural communities and onto the stage. Taking three disparate case studies as a way of thinking through these issues, this chapter investigates works by Twyla Tharp on Broadway, by Chuck Davis and his African American Dance Ensemble on stages in New York or Durham, NC, and Hawaiian hula performances in tourist venues and local halaus, or studios, to suggest that a more complex goal and sharper theoretical practice would be to literally track the political economy of dance practices, the accrual of monetary and cultural capital, and the ways that meanings change for performers and audience when dances move across cultural and commercial/non-commercial boundaries.

Abstract:
This book provides a history of the way in which literature not only reflects, but actively shapes processes of globalization and our notions of global phenomena. It takes in a broad sweep of history, from antiquity, through to the era of imperialism and on to the present day. Whilst its primary focus is our own historical conjuncture, it looks at how earlier periods have shaped this by tracking key concepts that are imbricated with the concept of globalization, from translation, to empire, to pandemics and environmental collapse. Drawing on these older themes and concerns, it then traces the germ of the relation between global phenomena and literary studies into the 20th and 21st centuries, exploring key issues and frames of study such as contemporary slavery, the digital, world literature and the Anthropocene.

Abstract:
Abstract We propose a new control system design strategy that is called “frequency-shaped optimal tracking control method” in this paper. We make sure that the proposed method is very useful by creating the quasi-dynamic walk of a quadruped locomotion robot. During control of the locomotion robot, high feedback (FB) gains should be selected to work against the force and the moment from the body and the reaction force from the ground. However, if high FB gains are used, high frequency vibration comes out because of the backlash of the gear. Frequency-shaped optimal control is the control method to improve the robustness against the disturbance like high frequency vibration. Frequency-shaped optimal tracking control extends the frequency-shaped optimal control to the servo system like the trajectory following control of the robot. First, we’ll show the design scheme of the frequency-shaped optimal tracking control. Next, we’ll show how decentralized control is realized in order to apply frequency-shaped optimal tracking control. Finally, we’ll compare the frequency-shaped optimal tracking control with the optimal tracking control from the points of view of the simulations and the experiments.

Abstract:
Supersonic projectiles in air generate acoustical signatures that are fundamentally related to the projectile’s shape, size, and velocity. These characteristics influence various mechanisms involved in the generation, propagation, decay, and coalescence of acoustic waves. To understand the relationships between projectile shape, size, velocity, and the physical mechanisms involved, an experimental effort captured the acoustic field produced by a range of supersonic projectiles using both conventional pressure sensors and a schlieren imaging system. The results of this ongoing project will elucidate those fundamental mechanisms, enabling more sophisticated tools for detection, classification, localization, and tracking. This paper details the experimental setup, data collection, and preliminary analysis of a series of ballistic projectiles, both idealized and currently in use by the U.S. Military.

Full text
Abstract:
The main objectives were (1) to develop, implement and validate control procedures that would make it possible to maintain year-round air temperature and humidity at levels suitable for crop cultivation in greenhouses operating in arid and semi-arid regions and (2) to investigate the influence of the operational flexibility of the fogging system on the performance of the system. With respect to the development of climate controllers, we developed a new control approach according to which ventilation is used to maintain the enthalpy of the greenhouse air and fogging is used to adjust the humidity ratio inside the greenhouse. This approach is suitable mostly for greenhouses equipped with mechanized ventilation, and in which the air exchange rate can be controlled with enough confidence. The development and initial validation of the controllers were performed in a small experimental greenhouses located at the Agricultural Research Organization and very good tracking were obtained for both air temperature and relative humidity (maximum mean deviations over a 10-min period with constant setpoints lower than 2.5oC and 5% relative humidity). The robust design approach used to develop the controllers made it possible to transfer successfully these controllers to a much larger semi-commercial greenhouse located in the much drier Arava region. After only minimal adjustments, which did not require lengthy dedicated experiments, satisfactory tracking of the temperature and humidity was achieved, with standard deviation of the tracking error lower than 1oC and 5% for temperature and relative humidity, respectively. These results should help promote the acceptance of modern techniques for designing greenhouse climate controllers, especially since given the large variety of greenhouse structures (shape, size, crop system), developing high performance site-specific controllers for each greenhouse is not feasible. In parallel to this work, a new cooling control strategy, which considers the contribution of humidification and cooling from the crop, was developed for greenhouses equipped with natural ventilation. Prior to the development of the cooling strategy itself, three evapotranspiration models were compared in terms of accuracy and reliability. The cooling strategy that has been developed controls the amount of fog introduced into the greenhouse as well as the percentage of vent openings based on the desired vapor pressure deficit (VPD) and enthalpy, respectively. Numerical simulations were used to compare the performance of the new strategy with a constant fogging rate strategy based on VPD, and on average, the new strategy saved 36% water and consumed 30% less electric energy. In addition, smaller air temperature and relative humidity fluctuations were achieved when using the new strategy. Finally, it was demonstrated that dynamically varying the fog rate and properly selecting the number of nozzles, yields additional water and electricity savings.

Abstract:
This study describes the perception, adoption, and acceptance factors involved in the deployment of digital technologies for public health in Latin America and considers the implications for future digital health interventions. We conducted a descriptive analysis using nationally representative data from a phone survey conducted in 2020 in 10 countries in Latin America. We found that early in the pandemic, in countries with existing applications, 74% of the population used a smartphone, 47% had knowledge of the government app to report symptoms, but only 2% reported using it. Those interviewed reported that they are willing to share their personal data during a pandemic (61%) 50 percentage points higher than in non-pandemic times, although understanding how their personal data was used by the government and private companies was extremely low. More than 70% reported that they would use an application to report symptoms and would use an app that accesses their location or that uses contact tracing technology to alert them about possible exposure. Also, at least half of the users agree with preventive measures against COVID-19 such as daily follow-up calls, tracking via GPS for quarantine enforcement, and daily visits. In all countries, adoption of digital technologies increases if individuals or their relatives report they are infected; it decreases when end-users do not trust the anonymity policies or are concerned about government surveillance. Yet, encouraging greater adoption of digital technologies strongly depends on who designed the technology. Results show that 73% of users would prefer an app designed by an international organization such as the WHO to an app designed by the local government (64%) or a telephone company (56%). The study concludes with a reflection on the promising results of digital technologies and discusses the importance of considering users perceptions, factors for acceptance, and trust when pursuing adoption of digital technologies.

Technical Report on Assembling Indicators to Monitor Climate-Driven Change in Northeastern Forests. Forest Ecosystem Monitoring Cooperative, September 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.18125/99o4tq.

Full text
Abstract:
Forest ecosystems are experiencing the impacts of climate change in many forms, however, comprehensive monitoring efforts are not always available to identify changing baselines. In order to improve our understanding of the impacts of climate change on ecosystem processes, the FEMC developed the Forest Impacts of Climate Change: Monitoring Indicators tool (Version 1.0). The Forest Impacts of Climate Change: Monitoring Indicators tool was developed for use by researchers and professionals to be able to easily access protocols used to monitor high priority indicators of the impacts of climate change in New England and New York. The monitoring protocols provide information for landowners and managers to implement their own monitoring programs that will be comparable to other studies being conducted across the region. By centralizing information about this network of monitoring sites, more data will become available to the community to help discern how forest ecosystems are changing. This report describes the methods and implementation used to build this tool. To develop the Forest Impacts of Climate Change: Monitoring Indicators tool, FEMC formed a committee of partners to select indicators and provide guidance about the literature review and eventual tool. The committee identified four ecological categories as important for monitoring climate change in the Northeast: Wildlife, Forest Systems, Trees, and Aquatic Systems. FEMC identified who is currently conducting monitoring efforts, what monitoring protocols are available for replication, gaps in monitoring data, and how we can make data and monitoring information easily available so that land managers can have the most up-to -date information possible. The developed tool compiles over 350 studies across 24 different indicators of the impacts of climate change. Through a filterable webtool users can find these studies, as well as 168 replicable protocols to direct implementation. The tool helps to identify gaps in monitoring efforts and provides a platform for users to contribute to regionally cohesive datasets. Monitoring of indicators across systems is critical for tracking and understanding climate change impacts. The Forest Impacts of Climate Change: Monitoring Indicators tool, developed for use by researchers, professionals, and land managers across the region, lets users find methods and protocols for monitoring climate change impacts and see where these monitoring efforts are already being conducted in our region. In addition, you can quickly visualize where there are gaps in our monitoring. As contributors in the Cooperative region share more information about their own monitoring efforts, this will become available to the community through this tool, increasing our ability to track and identify change in our forested ecosystems.
