www.Personal_Asset_Allocation

Today consumers demand delivery of financial services anytime and anywhere, and their needs and desires are evolving rapidly. The World Wide Web provides a rich channel for distributing customized services to a range of clients. An Internet-based system developed by Prometeia S.r. l. for Italian banks--both traditional and e-banks--supports consumers and financial advisors in planning personal finances. The system provides advice on allocating personal assets to fund consumers' needs, such as paying for a house, children's education, retirement, or other projects. State-of-the-art models of financial engineering--based on scenario optimization--develop plans that are consistent with clients' goals, their attitudes towards risk, and the prevailing views on market performance. The system then helps clients to select off-the-shelf financial products, such as mutual funds, to create customized portfolios. Finally, it analyzes the risk of portfolios in terms that are intuitive for laypersons and monitors their performance in achieving the target goals. Four major banks use the system to support their networks of several thousand financial advisors and to reach tens of thousands of clients directly.
Is Ethical Banking an Alternative to Conventional banking: A Literature Review

The Conventional Banking has so far being proved to be in adequate in providing solutions to socio-economic issues, as they have been focused more on increasing their share of wealth. This was proven with the outbreak of global financial crisis in 2007. Banks role as intermediary is to source and channel capital to, where the economic activity is. The instabilities and turbulences created by the traditional banks necessitated a transparent, socially and ethically responsible financial investment climate. Banks are losing its Values; there is a segment of society which is still excluded from banking. Banking too has contributed to the degradation of environment. Consumers are no longer motivated only by the returns they receive on their investments but also by the impact of banking business on sustainable development. Banks are also under scrutiny by Regulatory bodies and Governments for their unethical practices. Therefore it is necessary to judge banks not only on financial performance but also on its ability to maintain Ethical Values, Financial Inclusion and Responsible Behaviour, hence; a need arose for a new version of banking system which could address issues so far neglected by Conventional Banking. There were many banking systems that were emerging as alternative to Conventional Banking. Ethical Banking is one such system of alternative banking. Core competency of Ethical Banking is engage in ethical practices. Ethical Banking once developed could broad base the banking community. Although many researches have been carried out in the global scale for this subject, there haven’t been any researches conducted on this subject in Sri Lanka. This research paper fills this research gap. The purpose of this paper is to examine whether Ethical banking can be an alternative to conventional banking. Therefore this study is totally a desk research in the form of a literature review based on literature published between 1989 and 2015. The significance of the study is to identify Ethical Banking as an alternative to Conventional Banking

Optic neuritis in Singapore Lim S A, Goh K Y, Tow S, Fu E, Wong T Y, Seah A, Tan C, Cullen J F

Introduction : Optic neuritis (ON) is the commonest optic neuropathy encountered in the younger group of patients from the Singapore Neuro-Ophthalmology Study Group. Previous surveys in Asia and our study suggest that ON in Singapore differs from that in Western populations where the majority of cases are associated with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Determinants of Financial Misreporting: A Survey of the Financial Restatement Literature

We provide a comprehensive overview of the findings regarding the causes of financial restatements in the US. Acknowledging that restatements may derive from intentional and unintentional misreporting, we assign the findings to one of three pillars: i) expected benefits, ii) expected costs and iii) executive characteristics. Assuming that managers are rational decision-makers, the likelihood of misreporting increases in expected benefits and decreases in expected costs. While expected benefits reflect executives’ desire to maximize private benefits through compensation contracts, expected costs refer to the likelihood that misreporting will be revealed through internal or external controls. Given that efficiency of internal and external controls derives from the ability to avoid both, intentional and unintentional misreporting, we also review literature that investigates less severe restatements. We support the existing research by enhancing the understanding of restatements in light of severe and less severe restatements, identifying research gaps and organizing fragmented findings into a larger picture. Ultimately, our survey might inform regulatory bodies, auditors, standard setters and executives regarding restatements of financial statements.
Meat production preferences among Swedish consumers: A choice experiment with lasagna

Growing concerns over the environmental impact of an expanding global meat production has resulted in calls for more sustainable practices. This, however, is difficult since there exist several conflicts of aim regarding a sustainable production. In this thesis, Swedish consumers’ preferences towards four environmental, ethical and health-related attributes of meat production are explored: restriction to antibiotics, animal keeping, reduction of carbon footprint, and the Swedish Keyhole label. Through a random parameter logit model, corrected for attribute nonattendance, the first two attributes are found to be ranked the highest, roughly three times higher than the latter two, given the specific attribute levels. Furthermore, differences among sociodemographic groups are explored and found to exist – primarily for gender and level of education, with small effects of age. Finally, a secondary experiment was conducted to compare the result of carrying attribute information in plain text and using colored circles. The latter case was found to increase the marginal willingness to pay for the highest level of carbon footprint reduction, and the Keyhole label. Supervisor: Elina Lampi
Ultrasonic diagnosis of intraocular cysticercus

Intraocular cysticerci are mostly located in the subretinal space or vitreous. When the fundus is obscured by exudate or hemorrhage, the diagnosis becomes very difficult with the ophthalmoscope or biomicroscope. The authors performed A- and B-scan echographic studies on 20 cases of intraocular cysticercus during February 1985 to December 1988; it was found that B-scan was very useful in diagnosing intraocular cysticercus with regard to its location and relation to surrounding tissues. Several cases with typical echograms are presented with discussions. The ultrasonic diagnoses were confirmed by surgery.
The Effective Return of Biblically Responsible Exchange Traded Funds

This dissertation research study was designed to contribute to the growing body of knowledge regarding the efficacy of a recently popular investment vehicle (ETFs; Ben-David et al., 2017) and the impact of values-based investment strategies on performance (Bidisha et al., 2017). Specifically, this research examined the risk-adjusted returns of biblically responsible ETFs, a subset of the larger category of socially responsible investment funds. The results of this study indicated there was no statistically significant difference between the intraday risk-adjusted return yields of the mid-cap and world large stock BRI ETFs and their respective benchmark indexes or the average intraday risk-adjusted return yield of their category grouping of equityonly faith-based investment funds. The two additional performance proxies, the Sharpe ratio and Jensen’s α, revealed that the mid-cap BRI ETF (ISMD) had both a higher intraday Sharpe ratio and Jensen’s α than the small/mid-cap equity-only faith-based funds and its respective benchmark index with no socially responsible investing agenda. One world large stock equityonly faith-based fund (GAGYX) had a statistically significant difference in the intraday performance from the Russell 3000 index. Further, the Sharpe ratio and Jensen’s α for the fund were also higher than the benchmark.
FROM ACCESS TO INFORMATION TO ACCESS TO EACH OTHER: WHY PUBLIC LIBRARIES SHOULD DEVELOP INNOVATION SPACES

Viewed through the lens of the library, this statement by Clay Shirky, new media specialist and professor at New York University, is particularly provocative. After all, libraries are in the information business. Is Professor Shirky challenging the library’s underlying raison d’etre? Not necessarily. Although we will argue that libraries, in optimizing how they deploy computer and internet technology for people to meet their information needs, have unknowingly overlooked and even inhibited the use of computers for the purposes of creativity and innovation. Specifically, we suggest that there is a vast and unmet demand for physical environments, built around the notion of ‘access to each other’, environments that foster innovation. These innovation spaces, as we call them, can leverage features of the library that are common throughout the world: the physical space and the strong community presence.

Coexistence of ovarian neoplasms and endocervical adenocarcinoma.

: The coexistence of ovarian neoplasms and adenocarcinoma of the cervix occurs more often than generally realized. Of 390 women with adenocarcinoma of the cervix, the ovaries were available for histologic review in 161. Neoplasms were present in the ovaries of 25 of the 161 women (16%). Eleven carcinomas were metastatic to the ovary, and 14 (9%) were independent primary tumors. These included four benign cystic teratomas, four benign epithelial tumors, and six primary carcinomas. The 54 women with endometrioid adenocarcinomas of the cervix were especially prone to ovarian carcinoma because four (7%) had coexistent or subsequent endometrioid carcinoma in the ovary.
Using Patent Data to Position Firms in Technology-intensive Environments

Many industries are currently being disrupted by new technology. Perhaps one of the clearest examples is the automotive industry, where autonomous driving, electric vehicles, and new business models disrupt the very core of what used to be a more linear development process (McKinsey, 2017). In the midst of this, incumbent automotive companies need to re-evaluate and update their technology base to stay relevant. Technology managers need to choose which technologies to include in their products and services, and such decisions are getting harder as the speed of change accelerates (Kurzweil, 2001). To exclude human biases from the equation, strategy consultants (McKinsey 2017; Roland Berger, 2014) believe that incumbents will have to use technology indicators and make deliberate decisions based on probabilities. The purpose of this study was to create and test a framework for how technology managers can use patent data to reach insights for positioning their firms within different technological fields. To do this, the viability of patent data as an information source was assessed, and its drawbacks and benefits were evaluated. A literature review about previous patinformatics studies was performed, and the most important technology indicators were evaluated. A framework was built based on current best practices in patinformatics research, and the framework was tested to extract insights for the sensing technologies lidar, radar, and sonar. One of the main conclusions of this study is that patents contain a vast amount of information. Patent data can be used to predict things ranging from how fast a technology is improving to how much effort is being invested in inventive activities and how mature the technology is in the technology life cycle. Another conclusion is that a well-structured patinformatics process is key to reach valuable insights. Patent sets that accurately represents the technological field need to be retrieved, the right metrics need to be computed over a relevant period of time, and the extracted insights need to be communicated in a clear and concise manner. This was tested on the three case study technologies, where a number of insights were gained. For example, sonar seems to be the furthest along in its technology life cycle, and companies are decreasing their inventive activities within this field. The study was based on a foundation of three existing theoretical frameworks. Petrusson’s (2015) Intellectual Asset management (IAM) framework was used as an overarching framework for how knowledge-based (and thus also technology-based) businesses should position themselves to maximize the utilization of their resources and capabilities. Gregory’s (1995) process framework for technology management complements this by putting technology selection into context as one of the key issues in technology management. Finally, Moehrle et al.’s (2009) framework for patinformatics research process served as a base for designing the patinformatics efforts of the study.
