FRAUD RISK MANAGEMENT FOR GSM SYSTEMS

GSM operators use manual rule based fraud detection systems in order to identify fraud operations that cause risks. An operator reported very low fraud detection success by using a manual system. In this study, we evaluated the impact of machine learning methods on the performance of fraud detection. Machine learning methods, including K-Nearest Neighbor, Naïve Bayes, Random Forest and Support Vector Machines are utilized in order to increase the performance of the existing manually operated fraud detection. We constructed our dataset by using the cases of the observed GSM operator, where an action is taken upon a suspicious fraud activity. We defined feature set for these samples, which occurred in a period of two months. Besides the mentioned machine learning algorithms, we also performed feature selection and comparatively evaluated their performances. The experimental results show that, machine learning approach doubles the fraud detection performance, even at the worst model.
ALOE EMODIN ENHANCES TAMOXIFEN CYTOTOXICITY EFFECT ON ERa-POSITIVE BREAST CANCER CELLS, MCF-7, THROUGH DOWNREGULATION OF MEK1 AND MEK2

The positive response to tamoxifen in ERa-positive breast cancer patients is usually of a short duration as manyof the patients eventually develop resistance. Our preliminary results show that aloe emodin extracted fromthe leaves of the Aloe barbadensis Miller demonstrated a cytotoxicity that is selective to ERa-positive breastcancer cells (MCF-7), but not to ERa-negative breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231) and to the control cells (MCF-10A). The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that aloe emodin may enhance the response ofMCF-7 cells to treatment with tamoxifen. MCF-7 cells were treated with aloe emodin alone, tamoxifen aloneor a combination of emodin and tamoxifen, at their respective IC50 concentrations and at different time pointsof 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours. The respective IC50s were the concentrations of aloe emodin and tamoxifenrequired to achieve 50% inhibition of the cells in the study. Cell viability and apoptosis were determined usingtrypan blue exclusion and DNA fragmentation assays, respectively. The involvement of RAS/MEKs/ERKs genesof MAPK signalling pathways with aloe emodin was determined using QuantiGene 2.0 Plex assay. Data wasevaluated using the one-way ANOVA test. Our findings showed that aloe emodin enhanced the cytotoxicity oftamoxifen on MCF-7 cells through apoptosis by downregulation of MEK1/2 genes. Our research may provide arational basis for further in vivo studies to verify the efficacy of a combination of aloe emodin and tamoxifenon the viability of ERa-positive-breast cancer cells.

Editorial Non-Specific is Beginning to Sound Out-Of-Date

The bedrock of the clinical examination which was used followed the McKenzie routines, with contributions from others, as described well in Petersen and Laslett's 2003 paper? The research protocol examination took up to 60 minutes. Facet joint pain was determined clinically in Revel's 'negative' way (back pain relieved by recumbency but not exacerbated by cough, nor hyperextension, nor forwards flexion, nor rising from flexion, nor by extension-rotation movement). 3 Nerve root pain was corroborated by epidural injection.
Entrepreneurship education as a tool to support self-employment in Kenya

In recent years, flexibility, adaptability and lifelong learning have become major objectives of best practice, in addition to employability. The notion of ‘best practice’ was introduced in [technical and vocational education and training] TVET institutions in Kenya in 1994 and continued to this day because there is a pool of qualified personnel to sustain the programme. Many TVET graduates become self-employed and apply the entrepreneurial skills they have acquired in technical training institutions in their businesses. The response of TVET institutions in Kenya to the continued training needs of business aligns training closer to the demands of the labour market. Kenya has a well-established system of involving enterprises in establishing the content of training, which makes it possible to train young people more effectively for the workplace.

Evaluation of Airport Train Fare Based on Willingness to Pay of Users (Case Study Soekarno-Hatta International Airport)

— The presence of the Airport Train provides an alternative for users to access Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in avoiding congestion on the road due to increased traffic volume. Since the first operation, there has been a rapid change in fare and a significant increase that has affected the people's purchasing ability. This study aims to evaluate the Airport Train fare based on Willingness to Pay (WTP) of users. Data collection was conducted by user interviews (stated preference) at the station and on the train. The analysis of WTP uses the Discrete Choice Model by comparing scenario improvement services (like shorter headway and travel time) and the existing services. The finding is that the estimated value of WTP is IDR 83,969. When it is compared to the existing fare, it is certainly very possible to increase the fare by improving service performances.
Identifying the Roles of Accounting Accruals in Corporate Financial Reporting

Research on corporate financial reporting identifies two important roles of accounting accruals. First, accruals smooth fluctuations in operating cash flows. Second, accruals allow recognition of losses in an asymmetric timely manner. While these two roles imply different relations between individual accruals and operating cash flow news, prior research often focuses on the properties of aggregate accruals. We investigate the role of individual accrual components and identify asymmetry in the relation of investment with operating cash flow news as a confounding factor in prior research. We show that this investment factor operates through depreciation and amortization accruals, which typically account for the bulk of aggregate accruals. Our granular approach challenges prior evidence of variation in asymmetric timeliness with firm size and sheds new light on the role of diminishing working capital intensity in explaining an overall declining trend in the smoothing role of accruals.
Growth, equality and employment: investing in childcare in Scotland

The Scottish Government has made a commitment to double expenditure on childcare to ‘increase the amount of free hours of childcare available to all 3-4 year olds and “vulnerable” 2 year olds from 15 to 30 hours per week (1,140 per year)’ by 2021 (Davis et al. 2016). Existing studies focus mainly on the feasibility and the cost of that promise as well as incentives from the employment of parents. However, investment in the childcare sector also brings employment effects (especially for women) such as a direct effect (the number of people employed in the care sector); an indirect effect (increased demand of the care sector’s suppliers) and an induced effect (increased household consumption as a result of higher employment). This paper explores how the proposed investment in the childcare sector can have positive direct, indirect and induced effects on employment, contributing to Scotland’s economic growth. The analysis is primarily based on existing data for Scotland including the official input-output tables of the Scottish Government’s Statistical Office.

Productions animales, usage des terres et sécurité alimentaire en 2050 : L’éclairage de la prospective Agrimonde-Terra

Les scénarios d’usage des terres et de sécurité alimentaire en 2050, issus de la prospective Agrimonde-Terra, offrent l’opportunité de réexaminer les termes du débat sur la place des productions animales dans l’usage des terres et la sécurité alimentaire, et par suite sur leur rôle au regard de l’avenir des systèmes alimentaires globaux. Les résultats d’Agrimonde-Terra confirment le rôle majeur des productions animales pour l’usage des terres et la sécurité alimentaire en 2050. Agrimonde-Terra conclue qu’une transition vers des systèmes alimentaires plus durables nécessitera d’agir simultanément du côté de la demande de produits animaux et du côté de l’offre de produits végétaux et animaux, mais en apportant quelques nuances, notamment en insistant sur le rôle de la production animale pour la sécurité alimentaire dans les pays en développement. Ainsi, les hypothèses d’Agrimonde-Terra conduisent, quel que soit le scénario, à une expansion significative de la surface agricole dans certaines régions en développement, en particulier en Afrique sub-saharienne.

How the most liked brands on Facebook interact with their customers

This paper investigates how the 15 most liked brands on Facebook communicate with customers on this social networking site (SNS). The content shared as well as the engagement received in different posts are analysed through the lenses of social presence theory and a framework for categorizing social media posts. This study follows an explorative approach, where a total of 1256 Facebook posts during a six months’ time frame were collected from the 15 investigated brands, and thereafter analysed to obtain answers to the research questions of the study: what type of content do these companies share and which approaches to keep and promote engagement can be determined from their Facebook posts? The results show that video is the most common type of posts shared by the companies and sales promotion is the most shared category of post. Accordingly, the engagement achieved by posts were also investigated in the study. The findings suggest a higher level of engagement of Facebook users in photos and in the categories of emotional, cause-related and current event posts. The results provide basic insights into what strategies brands could consider when sharing content on Facebook and which types of posts to share, as well as how to keep and promote user engagement. Future research is needed in the topic as the subject is relevant for today’s businesses.
Zależności pomiędzy wartościami organizacyjnymi a innowacyjnym stylem przywództwa : perspektywa firm rodzinnych

Wprowadzenie W ostatnich latach można na nowo zaobserwować wzrost zainteresowania przedsiębiorczością rodzinną. Popularność firm rodzinnych jest konsekwencją znaczącej roli, jaką pełnią w gospodarce, ale także faktu, iż relatywnie dobrze poradziły one sobie ze skutkami kryzysu gospodarczego. Nie dziwią zatem wysiłki podejmowane zarówno przez teoretyków, jak i praktyków zarządzania mające na celu rozpoznanie determinantów ich konkurencyjności oraz szeroko pojmowanych uwarunkowań ich funkcjonowania. Te ostatnie mają szereg właściwych przede wszystkim firmom rodzinnym cech i wyróżników, jak na przykład szczególne wartości wyznawane przez właścicieli (Astrachan i in., 2002) czy specyficzny styl przywództwa (Rondøy i in., 2009). Celem niniejszego opracowania jest ustalenie zależności pomiędzy wartościami organizacyjnymi a innowacyjnym stylem przywództwa w firmach rodzinnych. Dążąc do jego osiągnięcia, przebadano 200 zarządzających firmami rodzinnymi w Polsce. Uzyskane wyniki, jak też ich implikacje teoretyczne i praktyczne oraz potencjalne kierunki dalszych badań zawarto w dalszej części artykułu. W opracowaniu przyjęto wobec powyższego następującą hipotezę badawczą: występuje zależność pomiędzy wartościami organizacyjnymi a innowacyjnym stylem przywództwa w firmach rodzinnych1.
The Accumulation of Distinctive Competences in Family Firms

Taking as its basis the resourceand capability-based view of the firm, this study provides an in-depth exploration of the ability of the family tourism firm to accumulate and develop the distinctive competences that are key to its success. Specifically, the analysis centres on how the family tourism firm acquires distinctive competences through the development of managerial capabilities. Using structural equation modelling (SEM), the empirical analysis focuses on a sample of 1,019 Spanish tourism firms. The results of the study suggest that family businesses face certain problems in accumulating distinctive competences. Moreover, the study indicates that such problems are due in part to the difficulties of developing efficient managerial capabilities in this type of company, which is an obstacle to the accumulation and management of other distinctive competences.
On Disaster Risk Reduction in Norwegian Oil and Gas Industry Through Life-Cycle Perspective

This paper presents the risk reduction in Norwegian oil & gas industry over the time (1975–2016) through a life cycle perspective analysis with the aim to identify the critical stage(s) both in terms of accident occurrence and cause of the accident. Fifteen accidents, major accidents and disasters for example Ecofisk 2/4 Alpha 1975, Alexander L. Kielland 1980, Songa Endurance 2016 were studied. Cases from outside of the Norwegian offshore field — the Piper Alpha 1988, the Bourbon Dolphin 2007, and the Deep Water Horizon 2010 — were also considered as comparison. For each accident and through the life cycle analysis, the occurrence stage of the accident and its main technical causes were identified and compared. It was found that a high risk is concentrated in the Operation (In-Service) stage and associated Marine Operations. Furthermore, it was observed that a high number of accidents in oil and gas industry are associated with mobile structures. All the investigated accidents have acted as powerful reminders to the oil and gas industry that a continuous improvement of risk management and reduction of uncertainty are of paramount importance in order to ensure safe operations and risk reduction for accidents, major accidents and disasters. However, a reactive learning from major accidents and disasters needs to be supported by a proactive learning and development of a dynamic risk culture in the oil and gas industry.
