Hamed, Fatma. "Production d'hydrolysats de protéines des muscles du pataclet (Diplodus annularis) et leur caractérisation physicochimique, fonctionnelle, biologique et peptidomique." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Université de Lille (2022-....), 2023. http://www.theses.fr/2023ULILR075.
The limited hydrolysis of food proteins leads to the production of peptides with interesting nutritional, functional and bioactive potential. However, this potential depends on the nature of the protein substrates, the specificity of the protease used and the conditions of the hydrolysis reaction. Consequently, we can logically expect to obtain original peptides in terms of their structure, functionality, and bioactivity by making the right choice of these parameters. The work of this thesis initiates the valorization in this field of the muscle of the pataclet fish. In this work, two hydrolysates of proteins from this source were prepared by separate action of savinase (HPP-S) and alcalase (HPP-AL), and their physicochemical, functional and biological properties examined. The peptidomic approach can help to better clarify the relationship between the structure of a peptide and its biological activity. Therefore, we performed peptidomic analysis of the hydrolysates and their fractions. The conditions of the hydrolysis carried out made it possible to produce hydrolysates of Diplodus muscle proteins capable of behaving as antioxidants and antibacterials, with greater efficiency of HPP-S which had the highest DH (15,42% against 8,14% for HPP-AL). This latter hydrolysate was chosen to be used in the conservation test and for the preparation of fractions which were the subject of peptidomic analysis. The addition of HPP-S to ground beef significantly improved the preservation. The analysis of the different fractions by UPLC MS/MS coupling revealed that the MM ≤1250 Da and the degree of hydrophobicity ≥ 50% were common characteristics of antioxidants and antibacterials

The substantial growth in industrial production, demand for materials, and population has led to an increasing need for sustainable manufacturing processes to mitigate the negative impacts on the environment and meet the needs of future generations. One proposed direction is remanufacturing, which is a process whereby used products having reached their end-of-life, are restored back to useful service-life. Remanufacturing utilizes the energy and embedded value retained in a product upon reaching end-of-life. Remanufacturing can close the loop between disposal and supply chains, extend the service lifetime of products, conserve resources, and help mitigate environmental consequences attributed to landfilling. Moreover, by preserving the geometrical architecture of cores, remanufacturing can reduce the needs for raw material processing and many manufacturing processes, hence, saving energy. A critical issue to consider when evaluating energy savings in remanufacturing is the product use phase: how well does the remanufactured device perform in the use phase compared to a similar new product from an energy standpoint? To answer this question, we utilize Life Cycle Assessments framework. Using this methodology, we quantify cumulative energy demands of a remanufactured product during its lifecycle and compare it to an equivalent new product. We conduct an analysis of lifecycle energy savings of remanufacturing for 19 different products in 8 distinct product case studies (4 product case studies discussed in detail in this thesis).
(cont.) By performing lifecycle evaluations we conclude that remanufacturing can be a net energy-saving option for products that have energy requirements dominated by the production phase. Moreover, our energy analysis sheds light on the importance of considering use phase while evaluating the energy savings potential of remanufacturing. We conclude that from a total life cycle perspective, remanufacturing may be a net energy saving as well as a net energy expending end-of-life option. We argue that in investigating energy savings of remanufacturing as an end-of-life option, one should also evaluate large-scale critical factors in order to effectively address the systems challenges associated with remanufacturing. Our retrospective approach signifies the importance of studying critical factors such as technological improvements, policy interventions, economic incentives, and business models in order to draw inferences about energy and economic savings potential of remanufacturing. In addition, we argue that the generalized claims about remanufacturing as the ultimate end-of-life option are not only subject to dynamic global changes, but also restricted by the limitations in the lifecycle environmental methodologies. Lastly, we conclude that the evaluations for product remanufacturing and energy savings are more valuable and justified if conducted on a case-by-case basis.

This thesis consists of three essays that examine household savings and portfolio choice behavior. Chapter One analyses the effects of employer matching contributions and tax incentives on participation and contribution behavior in employer-sponsored 401(k) savings plans. Employer sponsored retirement savings plans consist of several different incentives designed to increase employee savings, including matching contributions, tax deductibility, and tax free compounding. There is a substantial literature on the effects of match rates on retirement savings, but little on the effects of preferential tax treatment. This chapter provides estimates of the impact of employer matching and tax deductibility on retirement savings using a uniquely suited dataset from a large United States Corporation. I estimate that the effect of a one percentage point change in the match rate corresponds to a 0.06 percentage point increase in savings plan participation rates, while a similar one percentage point increase in marginal tax rates increases participation by 1.35 percentage points. Changes in the match rate have an insignificant effect on contribution rates (conditional on participation), though a one percentage point change in marginal tax rates tends to increase contribution rates by 0.16 percentage points. The effects of the match rate and marginal tax rate are transformed into changes in the annualized rate of return of the savings plan and this disparity remains.
(cont.) Finally, these estimates are used to calculate the changes in wealth at retirement due to changes in match rates and marginal tax rates under a variety of parameterizations. Chapter Two examines the trading and contribution behavior of employees participating in the 401(k) plan at a large United States corporation. This corporation offers employer matching contributions in company stock, and employees are prohibited from trading the matching contributions for an extended period. The empirical work details evidence of rebalancing behavior that is impacted by vesting restrictions and within-firm variation in match rates. Employees are between 3 and 7 percentage points more likely to rebalance their retirement portfolio once matching contributions have fully vested, and an additional 6 to 11 percentage points more likely if they face a 100% match rate relative to a 50% match rate. Variation in match rates also leads to changes in composition of employee contributions: increases in the match rate lead to decreases in the amount of company stock that the employee purchases with their own funds. Employees are between 13 and 19 percentage points less likely to contribute their own income to the matched asset and, if they still contribute to company stock, the employee's own-money contributions in company stock fall by between 13 and 18 percentage points. Together, these estimates provide evidence that employee contribution and rebalancing behavior is altered by asset-specific matching contributions and by restrictions on the trade of particular assets.
(cont.) Chapter Three uses data from multiple panels of the Survey of Income and Program Participation to identify the effect of unemployment insurance benefits on household savings behavior. This chapter extends existing literature on precautionary savings and insurance to allow for the fact that insurance benefits are multi-dimensional, including replacement rates and benefit durations; incorporates additional econometric methods to accommodate the skewness and variation in household savings; allows for heterogeneous savings responses based on the likelihood of the insured risk through a two-step estimation procedure; and by allowing insurance benefits to affect the level and composition of assets by analyzing changes in the composition of the household's portfolio across assets that are likely (or unlikely) to represent precautionary savings. I find suggestive evidence of quantitatively large reductions in precautionary savings behavior in response to variation in both replacement rates and benefit durations, though these results are not statistically distinguishable from zero. The negative effect of benefit increases on savings is magnified for households at greater risk of unemployment, and for the households with below median levels of financial wealth, though again these results are statistically insignificant once standard errors are properly adjusted. These extensions do not provide enough power to detect savings responses to variation in insurance benefits at standard levels of confidence, despite point estimates that represent economically large responses.

This dissertation is composed of three articles. Two of them investigate taxation issues and the third is a paper on savings. Although the subject of analysis is different among them, they all share the com- mon feature of applying panel-data econometric techniques on newly assembled datasets. Two of the essays employ GMM estimation on dynamic panel frameworks and the remaining one is an application on panel limited-dependent variable models. A short summary of each paper is provided below. It starts with the two essays on taxation, which share a common contextualizing section on the Brazilian state level value-added tax (ICMS), and finishes with the one on savings. Essay 1 makes an assessment of the importance of enforcement as an instrument to deter tax evasion and increase tax revenue, in the case of a developing country Value-Added Tax (VAT). It uses data from the Brazilian State of São Paulo. To cope with inertia in the revenue series and potential endogeneity, dy- namic panel-data techniques are employed. The level of regional GDP and two proxies for enforcement, namely the quantity and the value of penalties inflicted, were used as covariates. The results indicate a significant impact of the enforcement on tax revenues. The paper indirectly provides evidence on how non-compliance is affected by the penalty for detected evasion. Its conclusions are also relevant for the discussions on Brazilian fiscal federalism, specially in the case of a potential tax reform. Essay 2 examines one of the main tasks of a tax revenue service, which is to periodically choose which taxpayers will be subject to auditing. Improved efficiency in the audit selection mechanism is likely to impact positively the probability of fraud detection, resulting in better allocation of scarce fiscal resources. This paper attempts to design such a mechanism by computing the taxpayers probabilities of non-compliance. This is done by optimally combining on latent-dependent variable formulations several already existing indicators with information of ex-post audit results on a restricted sample of audited companies. With the estimated coefficients, tax non-compliance probabilities are calculated to the entire universe of taxpayers. The method was employed on a panel of firm-level micro-data from the state of São Paulo VAT tax (ICMS), corresponding to the fiscal region of Guarulhos. Essay 3 revisits the stylized fact of low saving rates in Latin American countries over the last decades. To investigate this situation, it employs panel data techniques to identify savings determinants and per- form counterfactual analysis using China, whose savings rate have been booming in the same period. Special attention is given to Brazil, which has fallen far behind its BRIC peers on this matter. The pa- per contributes to the existing literature in several ways. It combines two different and comprehensive datasets to encompass a vast array of savings determinants, including social security and demographic factors. It restates previous findings in the literature, albeit benefiting from the robustness conferred by richer datasets. For some Latin American countries, it reveals that their saving rates would increase if they perform more like China in other areas, but the increment would not be so dramatic.
Esta tese é composta por três artigos. Dois deles investigam assuntos afeitos a tributação e o terceiro é um artigo sobre o tema 'poupança''. Embora os objetos de análise sejam distintos, os três possuem como característica comum a aplicação de técnicas de econometria de dados em painel a bases de dados inéditas. Em dois dos artigos, utiliza-se estimação por GMM em modelos dinâmicos. Por sua vez, o artigo remanescente é uma aplicação de modelos de variável dependente latente. Abaixo, apresenta-se um breve resumo de cada artigo, começando pelos dois artigos de tributação, que dividem uma seção comum sobre o ICMS (o imposto estadual sobre valor adicionado) e terminando com o artigo sobre poupança. O primeiro artigo analisa a importância da fiscalização como instrumento para deter a evasão de tributos e aumentar a receita tributária, no caso de um imposto sobre valor adicionado, no contexto de um país em desenvolvimento. O estudo é realizado com dados do estado de São Paulo. Para tratar questões relativas a endogeneidade e inércia na série de receita tributária, empregam-se técnicas de painel dinâmico. Utiliza-se como variáveis de controle o nível do PIB regional e duas proxies para esforço fiscal: a quantidade e o valor das multas tributárias. Os resultados apontam impacto significativo do esforço fiscal nas receitas tributárias. O artigo evidencia, indiretamente, a forma como a evasão fiscal é afetada pela penalidade aplicada aos casos de sonegação. Suas conclusões também são relevantes no contexto das discussões sobre o federalismo fiscal brasileiro, especialmente no caso de uma reforma tributária potencial. O segundo artigo examina uma das principais tarefas das administrações tributárias: a escolha periódica de contribuintes para auditoria. A melhora na eficiência dos mecanismos de seleção de empresas tem o potencial de impactar positivamente a probabilidade de detecção de fraudes fiscais, provendo melhor alocação dos escassos recursos fiscais. Neste artigo, tentamos desenvolver este mecanismo calculando a probabilidade de sonegação associada a cada contribuinte. Isto é feito, no universo restrito de empresas auditadas, por meio da combinação 'ótima' de diversos indicadores fiscais existentes e de informações dos resultados dos procedimentos de auditoria, em modelos de variável dependente latente. Após calculados os coeficientes, a probabilidade de sonegação é calculada para todo o universo de contribuintes. O método foi empregado em um painel com micro-dados de empresas sujeitas ao recolhimento de ICMS no âmbito da Delegacia Tributária de Guarulhos, no estado de São Paulo. O terceiro artigo analisa as baixas taxas de poupança dos países latino-americanos nas últimas décadas. Utilizando técnicas de dados em painel, identificam-se os determinantes da taxa de poupança. Em seguida, faz-se uma análise contrafactual usando a China, que tem apresentado altas taxas de poupança no mesmo período, como parâmetro. Atenção especial é dispensada ao Brasil, que tem ficado muito atrás dos seus pares no grupo dos BRICs neste quesito. O artigo contribui para a literatura existente em vários sentidos: emprega duas amplas bases de dados para analisar a influência de uma grande variedade de determinantes da taxa de poupança, incluindo variáveis demográficas e de previdência social; confirma resultados previamente encontrados na literatura, com a robustez conferida por bases de dados mais ricas; para alguns países latino-americanos, revela que as suas taxas de poupança tenderiam a aumentar se eles tivessem um comportamento mais semelhante ao da China em outras áreas, mas o incremento não seria tão dramático.

This PhD thesis investigates the behavioral aspects of retirement savings, with a focus on three empirical chapters. The research extends the existing literature by examining the impact of financial literacy on retirement savings, comparing countries with different levels of financial development. Additionally, the study explores the role of personality traits in shaping savings behavior, using large-scale data analysis. A unique contribution of this research is the combination of micro and macro data to investigate the relationship between these factors and retirement savings. The study examines how investor protection and an individual's risk attitude influence their savings behavior. The primary objective of this thesis is to investigate thoroughly individuals' behavior towards their savings goals for post-retirement life, highlighting the important role played by financial literacy and personality traits in this process.The first chapter of our thesis examines the relationship between financial literacy and retirement savings, using data from the Household Finance and Consumption Survey (HFCS). To analyze the impact of financial literacy on savings behavior, the study focuses on Luxembourg and Slovakia, which have different levels of financial development. The findings of our research reveal that the level of financial literacy among the population of Luxembourg is higher as compared to that of Slovakia. The empirical analysis indicates that financial literacy is positively associated with retirement savings in Luxembourg, while no significant relationship is found between financial literacy and savings in Slovakia. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the role of financial literacy in retirement savings behavior.The second chapter of our thesis investigates the impact of the big five personality traits on individuals' savings behavior. The big five personality traits, including Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism, are widely recognized by psychologists as fundamental dimensions that shape human behavior. The study utilizes data from the SHARE database and covers a sample of 27 European countries. The results suggest that personality traits significantly influence savings behavior, and in particular, the traits of Openness and Agreeableness have a positive impact on savings behavior. The findings of this chapter provide important insights into the role of personality traits in retirement savings and have practical implications for financial planners and advisors.The third and final chapter of the thesis examines the relationship between Investor Protection, Investment Attitude, and Savings Behavior. The study investigates whether investor protection can play an important role in retirement savings behavior among households and whether it can help individuals adopt a more favorable risk attitude towards retirement savings. The analysis focuses on the impact of investor protection and risk attitude on savings behavior and the interaction between the two factors. The study utilizes data from the World Bank for investor protection and from the SHARE database for household data. The results indicate a significant relationship between the strength of investor protection, an individual's risk attitude, and retirement savings behavior.Our thesis focuses on retirement savings, a critical area of research due to its impact on financial security. We examine the impact of financial literacy, personality traits, and investor protection on savings behavior. Our findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and financial practitioners. These factors are essential considerations in understanding retirement savings behavior. Policymakers can use our findings to design effective retirement savings policies and programs

Amador Werning Angeletos (2006) characterize the conditions under which optimal saving/ consumption decision are determined by a minimum savings policy. I test this model empirically against data from the Townsend Thai Monthly Survey. Each household's income distribution, measure of risk aversion. and hyperbolic discount rate are estimated and then inputted into the model. In the overall sample., the minimum saving value as predicted by the model does register a statistically signficant relationship with the actual amount saved by the household. This is expected. since minimum saving policy is not optimal for all households. Limiting the sample to the appopriate subgroup produces a strong positive correlation.

Savings is essential for boosting economic growth. Low savings in a country will have negative consequences for both investment and economic growth. South Africa has continued to expe rience declining saving rates and in recent years, accompanied by declining economic growth. The study evaluated savings in South Africa by decomposing it into household saving, cor porate saving and public saving. The focus was to investigate the determinants of household savings, corporate and public savings. In addition to examining the determinants of savings, the research has also analysed the saving-investment relationship for South Africa. The study used a Bayesian vector auto regressive model to investigate the determinants of household sav ing from 1980Q1 to 2017Q4. The results of the investigation on household saving showed that GDP, inflation rate, and financial deepening determine household saving in South Africa. The Bayesian VAR was also used to identify the determinant of budget deficit between 1980Q1 to 2017Q and found Real GDP, inflation rate, total government debt, investment by general government and the inflation rate to be determinants. The Blundel-Bond Generalized Method of Moment (GMM) was used to investigate the determinants of corporate saving in form of cash holding for 80 non-financial firms listed on the JSE between 2007 and 2017. The results showed leverage, cash flow, debt maturity and previous amounts of cash holding to have significant effect on cash holding in SA. Lastly, the study examined the saving-investment nexus for South Africa using yearly data from 1980 to 2016. Using the Autoregressive Distributed lag (ARDL) and the Error Correction Model, (ECM), the study found a cointegrating relationship between domestic saving and domestic investment. It further found a positive relationship between domestic saving and domestic investment in both the short and long run. Causality analysis showed a unidirectional causality from domestic saving to domestic investment.

The purpose of this MBA Project is to determine potential logistics cost savings the USAF and DoD could have realized through the life of the F-16 fighter aircraft had they required engine commonality from the two engine manufacturers during the Alternate Fighter Engine (AFE) competition. Additionally, the authors seek to establish analysis framework to determine potential cost savings from commonality for other complex, high-cost systems (end items or subcomponents). The model assumes inventory consolidation is necessary to realize any savings from commonality. The Ardalan Heuristic Method is employed to determine siting for consolidation points using existing United States Air Force operational locations. This MBA Project determined the potential cost savings for engine commonality in the F-16 to be approximately $31.8M (2006 dollars).

The MIT community and the City of Cambridge embarked on initiatives to reduce energy consumption and Greenhouse Gas emissions in accordance with the Kyoto Protocol which calls for a 20 % reduction in 1990 levels of GHG emissions by 2010. This thesis seeks to expand our understanding of how the MIT campus consumes energy and with that knowledge recommend methods of reducing energy consumption by eliminating irresponsible energy use. Based on the GHG emission map created by Tiffany Groode in her 2004 thesis A Methodology for Assessing MIT's Energy Use and Greenhouse Gas Emissions, the second largest energy consuming building per square foot, Building 18, was selected and analyzed in detail. This thesis proves the high hood density, lack of an exhaust heat recovery system, and irresponsible fume hood use necessitate Building 18's wasteful consumption of energy. Research revealed that, on average, 67 hoods were left open at night, and 88 were open during daytime use. Of those open hoods, only 5 were in use during the night, and 48 were in use during the day. If the unused hoods were closed the consumption of electricity, steam, and chilled water could be decreased by approximately 17% and save the Institute $350,000 a year in utility costs.

This thesis consists of three chapters on savings, investment, and monetary policy. The first chapter studies optimal monetary policy in an environment where negative nominal interest rates are possible, as demonstrated by recent central bank actions worldwide. I identify the central tradeoff: negative rates help stabilize aggregate demand, but at the cost of an inefficient subsidy to paper currency. Near 0%, the first side of this tradeoff dominates, and negative rates are generically optimal whenever output averages below its efficient level. In a benchmark scenario, negative rates are sufficient to undo most welfare losses relative to the first best. Credible commitment by the central bank is essential to implementing optimal policy, which backloads the most negative rates. The option to set negative nominal rates lowers the optimal long-run inflation target, and abolishing paper currency is only optimal when currency demand is highly elastic. The second chapter documents and interprets new facts about the functional distribution of income. It shows that the net capital share of income initially fell in the postwar era, before rising from the 1970s onward, with the entire net increase coming from the housing sector. Accounts of the capital share that emphasize capital accumulation are not consistent with the data: they require empirically improbable elasticities of substitution, and they presume a correlation between the capital-income ratio and capital share that is not visible in the data. A more limited narrative that stresses scarcity and the increased cost of housing better fits the data, as I clarify using a new multisector model of factor shares. The third chapter, joint with Adrien Auclert, studies the possibility that feedbacks between sovereign bond spreads and governments' desire to default may lead to multiple equilibria in sovereign debt markets. We show that such multiplicity does not exist in the infinite-horizon model of Eaton and Gersovitz (1981), a widely adopted benchmark for quantitative analyses of these markets. Our proof may be important to understand Euro government bond markets, and calls for renewed attention on the theoretical conditions that are needed for sovereign debt models to generate multiple equilibria.

This thesis examines the possibility of using a heat pipe installed in the air conditioning unit of a supermarket to increase the level of dehumidification of the inside air. This dehumidification is expected to reduce the energy consumption of the refrigeration system due to an improved efficiency of the heat transfer at the display case. This increase in efficiency will be due to reduced frost buildup on the refrigeration coils. Chapter two includes a physical and psychometric analysis of the heat pipe, proving that for any system where direct evaporation dehumidification is used, at any given time when dehumidification is being performed, the addition of a heat pipe will increase the amount of moisture being removed by the cooling coil. For this thesis, a heat pipe was installed in a supermarket in Worcester, Massachusetts. Over a period of the summer from the beginning of June to the end of October, various air temperatures and relative humidities, refrigeration line temperatures, pressures, and mass flows, and compressor power consumption were monitored for fifteen minute periods. The monitoring period included two months before the installation and three months after the installation to determine changes in the air system and refrigeration system due to the presence of the heat pipe. Chapters two through five describe the equipment, site and strategy used in the analysis. Chapter six describes the results of the monitoring, and Chapters seven and eight give the results of the air system and refrigeration system models. The systems were modelled using monitored data and engineering equations to predict humidity levels and power consumption based on ambient conditions. The analysis was unique in that a heat pipe application had never been previously studied in a Northeast location, since the mild summers made dehumidification less of an issue than in Southern states. This study was also considerably more in depth than previous studies (summarized in Chapter 2), for which savings estimates do not account for large potential errors. This study concluded that potential savings estimates (0-8% reduction in supply air humidity, -1 % reduction in refrigeration power) were within statistical error (9% for specific humidity, 4% for refrigeration power), and therefore inconclusive. Further studies with superior equipment and modelling strategies are needed to substantiate heat pipe dehumidification.
