Life cycle impacts of divestment: applying an economic input-output LCA model to measure financed emissions
Creators: name: Ritchie, Justin
name: Dowlatabadi, Hadi
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: In recognition of the long-term impacts resulting from financial decisions, a growing number of campaigns are advocating divestment from companies responsible for high levels of carbon emissions. However, a systematic understanding of divestment is needed for an examination of the social, economic and environmental impacts that extend beyond the currently stated political motivations to divest. We have developed the Shadow Impact Calculator (SIC) based on economic input-output life cycle assessments (EIO-LCA) as a tool to examine broader impacts of investment decisions. A portfolio’s “shadow footprint” represents the economic, social and environmental impacts underlying an investor’s decision to hold equities in particular companies, economic sectors or nations. We show which sectors of the economy have particularly large or small carbon shadows. To demonstrate the use of SIC we examine the endowment investments of a Canadian university. We also show how the immediate economy-wide impacts of divestment are often much smaller than would otherwise be expected.

description: In this work we present the process of machine learning, by applying it on the field of online advertising. In the theoretical part, we presented the process of machine learning along with its most popular algorithms and a brief introduction in online advertising. In the practical part of this work, we used a dataset consisting of 120 people, containing personal information and consumer preferences. After a necessary preprocessing of the dataset, we used the WEKA environment to apply the most common machine learning algorithms to our data, addressing two different problems; 1) The prediction of a user’s interest for an advertisement category (classification problem) 2) The estimation of a user’s degree of interest for an advertisement category (regression problem). With the help of a naïve algorithm, which we implemented as a reference, we analyzed and compared the results of the most popular algorithms for classification and regression, using the standard metrics. By evaluating and combining the results, we proposed a hybrid theoretical model for machine learning in online advertising, and a reference for future exploitation of our analysis in the field of online advertising

description: We present sensitive 850$μ$m imaging of the COSMOS field using 640hr of new and archival observations taken with SCUBA-2 at the East Asian Observatory's James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. The SCUBA-2 COSMOS survey (S2COSMOS) achieves a median noise level of $σ_{850μ{\mathrm{m}}}$=1.2mJy/beam over an area of 1.6 sq. degree (MAIN; HST/ACS footprint), and $σ_{850μ{\mathrm{m}}}$=1.7mJy/beam over an additional 1 sq. degree of supplementary (SUPP) coverage. We present a catalogue of 1020 and 127 sources detected at a significance level of >4$σ$ and >4.3$σ$ in the MAIN and SUPP regions, respectively, corresponding to a uniform 2% false-detection rate. We construct the single-dish 850$μ$m number counts at $S_{850}$>2mJy and show that these S2COSMOS counts are in agreement with previous single-dish surveys, demonstrating that degree-scale fields are sufficient to overcome the effects of cosmic variance in the $S_{850}$=2-10mJy population. To investigate the properties of the galaxies identified by S2COSMOS sources we measure the surface density of near-infrared-selected galaxies around their positions and identify an average excess of 2.0$\pm$0.2 galaxies within a 13$''$ radius (~100kpc at $z$~2). The bulk of these galaxies represent near-infrared-selected SMGs and/or spatially-correlated sources and lie at a median photometric redshift of $z$=2.0$\pm$0.1. Finally, we perform a stacking analysis at sub-millimeter and far-infrared wavelengths of stellar-mass-selected galaxies ($M_{\star}$=10$^{10}$-10$^{12}{\rm M_{\odot}}$) from $z$=0-4, obtaining high-significance detections at 850um in all subsets (SNR=4-30), and investigate the relation between far-infrared luminosity, stellar mass, and the peak wavelength of the dust SED. The publication of this survey adds a new deep, uniform sub-millimeter layer to the wavelength coverage of this well-studied COSMOS field.

On the diffusive-mean field limit for weakly interacting diffusions exhibiting phase transitions

description: The objective of this article is to analyse the statistical behaviour of a large number of weakly interacting diffusion processes evolving under the influence of a periodic interaction potential. We focus our attention on the combined mean field and diffusive(homogenisation)limits. In particular, we show that these two limits do not commute if the mean field system constrained to the torus undergoes a phase transition, that is to say if it admits more than one steady state. A typical example of such a system on the torus is given by the noisy Kuramoto model of mean field plane rotators. As a by-product of our main results, we also analyse the energetic consequences of the central limit theorem for fluctuations around the mean field limit and derive optimal rates of convergence in relative entropy of the Gibbs measure to the (unique) limit of the mean field energy below the critical temperature.

description: This study investigates the influence of "offer for sale" by existing shareholders on investors’ reaction in the IPO immediate aftermarket. The "offer for sale" is measured by the proportion of shares offered to public from the sale of the existing shareholdings prior to IPO against the total number of shares offered during IPO. The "offer for sale" activity suggests that proceed from the shares sold at an IPO would go into the pocket of the existing shareholders. That is, the proceed does not actually meet the primary goals of the IPO to raise funds for business expansion. IPO firms that go public mainly through "offer for sale" activity are expected to receive less demand during IPO from potential investors as the investors are less optimistic in firms which their shares are offered mostly through "offer for sale" activity relative to firms which their shares are newly issued. Thus, firms which their shares are offered through "offer for sale" activity are predicted to produce poor initial aftermarket return and trading. Using a final sample of 419 Malaysian IPOs issued from January 2000 to December 2015, regression results of this study reveal that firms which their shares are offered highly through "offer for sale" report poor and lower initial aftermarket return and trading volume. The results support the proposition of this study that investors are less optimistic in firms which their shares are offered mostly through "offer for sale" activity.

description: This thesis, deals with a set of best practices and technologies developed within the Semantic Web, in order to publish the Scientific Publications of the Faculty Members of the School of Informatics of AUTh, as Linked Open Data. The publications are hosted in the Institutional Repository of the University. In order to implement the publication and linking the data, it was necessary to create an ontology, which contains the basic characteristics required for the de-scription of persons and publications. An open-source tool, Protégé, was used to create the ontology. It was also necessary to convert the data into RDF triples, utilizing the Eclipse RDF4J framework. Finally, the linking of the data with the ontology was implemented in the GraphDB environment of the University, which is also the database where the data are hosted as open linked data, and are available at the website http://lod.csd.auth.gr:7200/. Through the interface, stakeholders are given the opportunity to create new standard applications, combining data from across the cloud of the Semantic Web

description: This study aimed to investigate the physiological, perceptual, and biomechanical differences between male and female soldiers across several military-relevant load and walking speed combinations. Eleven female and twelve male soldiers completed twelve 12 min walking trials at varying speeds (3.5 km·h−1, 5.5 km·h−1, 6.5 km·h−1) and with varying external loads (7.2 kg, 23.2 kg, 35.2 kg). Physiological (indirect calorimetry, heart rate), perceptual (perceived exertion), and biomechanical (spatiotemporal, kinematic, kinetic) outcomes were measured throughout each trial. Females had a lower aerobic capacity and lower body strength than males, which resulted in them working at a greater exercise intensity (%VO2peak and heart rate) but with a lower oxygen pulse. Females demonstrated higher breathing frequency and perceived exertion with specific loads. At selected loads and speeds, frontal and sagittal pelvis, hip, and knee motions and forces were greater for females. Females consistently displayed greater relative stride length and step width. In conclusion, this study demonstrates the importance of tailored interventions, periodisation, and nutritional strategies for female military personnel, given their higher relative work rate and increased injury risk during load carriage tasks. Understanding these differences is crucial for preparing female soldiers for the physical demands of military service.

description: Η έλευση του κρυπτονομίσματος Bitcoin, μαζί με την καινοτόμα τεχνολογία του, το Blockchain, έφερε τεράστιες και ανατρεπτικές αλλαγές στις συναλλαγές μεταξύ των χρηστών του, αλλά και γενικότερα σε αυτές στο διαδίκτυο και, κατά συνέπεια, σε ολόκληρο τον κόσμο. Η εμφάνισή του εισήγαγε έναν απολύτως καινούργιο τρόπο, με τον οποίο οι χρήστες πραγματοποιούν πλέον τις συναλλαγές μεταξύ τους. Από την άλλη, όμως, η χρήση του Bitcoin στις οικονομικές συναλλαγές επέφερε και προβλήματα, ιδιαίτερα στο ζήτημα των προσωπικών δεδομένων, καθώς μεγάλο μέρος των δεδομένων των χρηστών του και οτιδήποτε άλλο συνδέεται με τη χρήση τους μέσω του Bitcoin είναι σε δημόσια θέα και ανοικτά σε οποιονδήποτε ήθελε να ασχοληθεί στο διαδίκτυο με το ίδιο το Bitcoin. Αρκετοί ερευνητές, πανεπιστήμια, κοινότητες και χρήστες, έχουν ασχοληθεί με αυτά τα φλέγοντα και επίκαιρα θέματα, τα οποία, σύμφωνα με την υπάρχουσα βιβλιογραφία, ταξινομούνται σε 5 κατηγορίες, στις διευθύνσεις πορτοφολιών, την ιχνηλασιμότητα του Bitcoin, τους δημόσιους χώρους, την IP διεύθυνση του χρήστη μαζί με την οποιαδήποτε χρήση του διαδικτύου και τις ίδιες τις συναλλαγές μαζί με το ιστορικό τους. Σκοπός της παρούσας διπλωματικής εργασίας είναι, μέσω της έρευνας και της μελέτης, στις 7 κύριες ενότητές της, πρώτον, να αναλύσει τα παραπάνω αναφερόμενα μειονεκτήματα και τα προβλήματα που η διαδικασία χρήσης του Bitcoin προκαλεί στην ανωνυμία και την προστασία των προσωπικών δεδομένων και της ιδιωτικότητας του χρήστη, και, κατόπιν, να επιχειρήσει να παρουσιάσει τη δική της πρόταση σχετικά με την αντιμετώπιση αυτών των προβλημάτων
description: The advent of the Bitcoin cryptocurrency, along with its innovative technology, Blockchain, has brought huge and subversive changes in transactions between its users, but also in general on the Internet and, consequently, around the world. Its appearance has introduced a completely new way, in which users now trade with each other. On the other hand, the use of Bitcoin in financial transactions has also caused problems, especially in the issue of personal data, as much of the data of its users and everything else related to their use through Bitcoin is in public view and open to anyone who wanted to deal online with Bitcoin itself. Numerous researchers, universities, communities and users have dealt with these burning and topical issues, which, according to the existing literature, are classified into 5 categories: wallet addresses, Bitcoin traceability, public spaces, IP address user along with any internet usage and the transactions themselves along with their history. The purpose of this dissertation is, through research and study, in its 7 main sections, first, to analyze the above mentioned disadvantages and problems that the process of using Bitcoin causes in the anonymity and protection of personal data and privacy user, and then attempt to present its own proposal for addressing these issues

description: Chios is tightly connected to Mastiha. The trade of mastiha started long ago. Now, Mediterra SA is responsible for her promotion and management. At the beginning of this thesis a few words about Chios Mastiha and theory about marketing and case study are presented. Terms like marketing, market segmentation, placement, marketing mix and its elements, and case study are analyzed. Then, the communication model of Mediterra is presented, of which the most promoted activity is mastihashop. In other words, the way the company segments the market, the way she places her products and her marketing mix are presented. After that, the results of a research conducted are presented. It was about the brand awareness of mastihashop and the emotional attachment of consumers to mastihashop. Most of them know what they stand for and are positive towards them. Though, some opportunities for the implementation of the company’s communication model came up. At the end of the thesis, ways for the implementation of the company’s communication with consumers are presented

subject: two-stage quantile regression
subject: two-stage least squares regression

description: By using a two-stage quantile regression approach (2SQR), this study demonstrates how the insurer’s leverage is determined across various quantiles. The evidence shows that the influence of the business concentration and marketing channel at the lower leverage quantiles is opposite to that at the higher leverage quantiles, which proposes that the mean effects of the two-stage ordinary least squares method are insufficient to capture the effects of business strategies on the insurer’s capital structure determination. Moreover, the 2SQR evidence also shows that the magnitude of the impacts for some determinations varies among the different leverage quantiles. In sum, the evidence suggests that these two competing approaches should be viewed as complementary functions when discussing the insurer’s capital structure.

description: In isospin symmetric and asymmetric nuclear matter we study the structure functions connected with the zero sound excitations. In the simple model with Landau-Migdal quasiparticle interactions the density response $Π^R(ω,k)$ of the nuclear matter to the small isovector external field $V_0(ω,k)$ is considered. In the previous papers the complex branches of solutions $ω_{si}(k)$, $i=n,p,np$ of the dispersion equation corresponding to zero sound excitations in the symmetric and asymmetric nuclear matter are obtained. Now we investigate the structure and response functions of nuclear matter based on these solutions.

description: A decoding algorithm for polar codes with binary 16$\times$16 kernels with polarization rate 0.51828 and scaling exponents 3.346 and 3.450 is presented. The proposed approach exploits the relationship of the considered kernels and the Arikan matrix to significantly reduce the decoding complexity without any performance loss. Simulation results show that polar (sub)codes with 16$\times$16 kernels can outperform polar codes with Arikan kernel, while having lower decoding complexity.

description: The in-plane magnetoresistance (MR) in La2-xSrxCuO4 films with 0.03 < x < 0.05 has been studied in the temperature range 1.6 K to 100 K, and in magnetic fields up to 14 T, parallel and perpendicular to the CuO2 planes. The behavior of the MR is consistent with a predominant influence of interaction effects at high temperatures, switching gradually to a regime dominated by spin scattering at low T. Weak localization effects are absent. A positive orbital MR appears close to the boundary between the antiferromagnetic and the spin-glass phase, suggesting the onset of Maki-Thompson superconducting fluctuations deep inside the insulating phase.

description: Dividend payout policy has proved to be a complicated issue in the financial management literature that leads to the issuance of different arguments and theories explaining the facts about dividend ratio. The prime objective of the current study is to explore the impact of corporate governance on dividend payout ratio. In order to investigate the linkage between corporate governance and dividend payout ratio, data of four fiscal years (2013-2016) was extracted from annual reports of Indonesian publicly listed companies. The study examines the impact of ownership structure and corporate governance mechanisms on dividend payout ratio using panel data regression model. The findings of the study indicate that board independence, board size, institutional ownership, size and earnings before interest and tax are positive; whereas the CEO duality, managerial ownership, ownership concentration and leverage are in negative relation with dividend payout ratio.

description: Context: Deep-banded nutrient rich amendments can overcome crop productivity constraints of Australian dense clay subsoils. However, knowledge on essential microbial community in field trials is limited. Methods: We examined subsoils that had been deep-ripped 2 years earlier with various types of amendments (organic, a blend of organic and inorganic, and purely inorganic). Subsoil samples (15–25 cm) were collected encompassing the amendment band (0 cm), as well as at increasing distances from it (14 and 28 cm). Bacterial 16S rRNA, fungal ITS amplicon sequencing, and SOM/TOC measurements on amendment band samples were done to assess microbial communities. Key results:  While no variations were detected in bacterial communities across treatments, soils enriched with organic substrates diverged significantly in fungal diversity compared to the control, concentrated primarily within the amendment bands. Fungal response to these organic amendments was primarily dominated by an enrichment of filamentous saprotrophic fungi. Conclusion:  Changes in fungal diversity and the enrichment of saprotrophic fungi is primarily attributed to the introduction of organic substrates into the subsoil. However, despite the absence of SOM/TOC differences between treatments, SOM/TOC levels were initially expected to rise in response to organic amendments. Consequently, variations in fungal communities may have initially arisen from heightened SOM/TOC levels but persisted even as these levels returned to baseline, suggesting a lasting legacy effect. Implications A single application of deep-banded organic amendments was effective in enriching agriculturally significant fungi within dense clay subsoils after 2 years. This can further aid crop productivity by fostering soil structural improvements and optimising nutrient cycling, even after the organic amendments are undetectable.

description: In many processes, the variations in underlying characteristics can be approximated by noisy multi-periodic patterns. If large-scale patterns are superimposed by a noise with long-range correlations, the detection of multi-periodic patterns becomes especially challenging. To solve this problem, we developed a discrete double Fourier transform (DDFT). DDFT is based on the equidistance property of harmonics generated by multi-periodic patterns in the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) spectra. As the large-scale patterns generate long enough equidistant series, they can be detected by the iteration of the primary DFT. DDFT is defined as Fourier transform of intensity spectral harmonics or of their functions. It comprises widely used cepstrum transform as a particular case. We present also the relevant analytical criteria for the assessment of statistical significance of peak harmonics in DDFT spectra in the presence of noise. DDFT technique was tested by extensive numerical simulations. The practical applications of DDFT technique are illustrated by the analysis of variations in solar wind speed related to solar rotation and by the study of large-scale multi-periodic patterns in DNA sequences. The latter application can be considered as generic example for the general spectral analysis of symbolic sequences. The results are compared with those obtained by the cepstrum transform. The mutual combination of DFT and DDFT provides an efficient technique to search for noisy large-scale multi-periodic patterns.

description: The purpose of paper is to assess the long-term memory of stock index returns in the pan-European platform Euronext (CAC-40, AEX, BEL-20 and PSI-20). We find evidence of time dependency in much of the data, suggesting that the series may best be described as fractional Brownian motion. Modified Rescaled-Range Analysis and Detrended Fluctuation Analysis were used to measure the degree of long memory. The global Hurst exponents evidence persistent long memory in the Dutch, Belgian and Portuguese markets. In the French market, evidence of long memory is inconsistent and weak. Fractal structure suggests non-conformity with the Efficient Market Hypothesis, and may compromise the reliability of asset pricing models. Furthermore, time-dependent Hurst exponents show evidence of weakening persistence in these markets, particularly after the international crises of 2000, 2002 and 2010. A possible explanation for those changes is that the markets may have matured over time, becoming more efficient after these severe events.

description: Στόχος της παρούσας ποιοτικής μελέτης ήταν να αναδείξει τα χαρακτηριστικά και τις συμπεριφορές των πελατών που οι εργαζόμενοι βιώνουν ως στρεσογόνους παράγοντες κατά τις μεταξύ τους αλληλεπιδράσεις (ΚΣΠΠ), το συναίσθημα που τους προκαλούν οι ΚΣΠΠ, τις στρατηγικές συναισθηματικής ρύθμισης που υιοθετούν όταν αντιμετωπίζουν ΚΣΠΠ και τις συνέπειες αυτών των στρατηγικών για την εργασιακή τους απόδοση και ευζωία. Δέκα οκτώ εργαζόμενοι (πέντε άνδρες και δέκα τρεις γυναίκες) από τον ευρύτερο κλάδο της εξυπηρέτησης πελατών συζήτησαν για τις εμπειρίες τους με τους πελάτες στο πλαίσιο ημιδομημένων συνεντεύξεων. Η θεματική ανάλυση επιβεβαίωσε προηγούμενες έρευνες σχετικά με τον λειτουργικό ορισμό των ΚΣΠΠ, αλλά ανέδειξε και συμπληρωματικές διαστάσεις όπως οι κοινωνικές διακρίσεις των πελατών και η παραβατική τους συμπεριφορά. Οι ΚΣΠΠ βρέθηκε ότι προκαλούν συνήθως αρνητικό συναίσθημα στους εργαζόμενους, το οποίο σε κάποιες περιπτώσεις μπορεί να μετατραπεί σε θετικό ή ουδέτερο ανάλογα με την πορεία της αλληλεπίδρασης. Οι εργαζόμενοι φαίνεται να υιοθετούν μεμονωμένες στρατηγικές ρύθμισης του συναισθήματος ή συνδυασμό αυτών ανάλογα με τον ΚΣΠΠ που αντιμετωπίζουν. Τέλος, τα ευρήματα επιβεβαίωσαν τις θετικές συνέπειες της βαθιάς εμπλοκής και της οριοθέτησης και τις αρνητικές συνέπειες της επιφανειακής προσποίησης τόσο για την απόδοση όσο και για την ευζωία των εργαζομένων
description: The main aim of this study was to explore clients’ characteristics and behaviors that constitute customer-related social stressors (CSS), the emotions elicited in employees when they are exposed to CSS, the emotion regulation strategies that they adopt in the context of CSS, and what are the outcomes of these emotion regulation strategies for employee performance and wellbeing. Eighteen employees from the broader service sector (five men and thirteen women) discussed about their experiences with customers in the context of semi-structured interviews. Results of thematic analysis supported previous definitions of CSS but also highlighted additional dimensions such as social discrimination from customers and customers’ counterproductive behaviors. CSS were found to elicit negative emotion in employees, which could however switch to positive or neutral emotion depending on the process of the interaction. The analysis suggested that employees are more likely to use specific emotion regulation strategies or a combination of strategies depending on the type of CSS that they encounter. Finally, results supported the beneficial outcomes of deep acting and delimitation and the unfavorable outcomes of surface acting both for employee performance and well-being

These stars probe the halo structure out to ~100 kpc from the Galactic center. Their spatial and radial velocity distributions are very inhomogeneous, with the most prominent features tracing the Sgr dwarf tidal stream. Outside the Sgr dwarf tidal stream, the spatial distribution in the 5-60 kpc range of Galactocentric radius R is well described by an R^{-3} power law.

description: The purpose of this paper is to assess the interface between trade and the environment. Reviews of empirical studies show mixed results over the environmental Kuznets curve and the pollution heavens hypothesis. Apart from controversies over the methodological issues, they highlight complex aspects of the environment. A case study under the NAFTA illustrates the importance of social organization in shaping environmental outcomes. Trade meausres embedded in the Multilateral Environmental Agreements(MEAs) imply no automatic mechanism flowing from trade liberalization to environmental gains. Finally, with respect to policy implications, it suggests that the WTO should remedy market failure by adopting both the polluter-pays-principle and the provider-gets-principle, address standards harmonization by incorporating differences in environmental problems, and allow the system approach.
Transforming Maggie May to Miss Pu: Neoculturalism Through Missionary Nursing in North China, 1924-1943

description: Margaret May Prentice writes in her autobiography about the day she told her father, a wheat farmer in eastern Colorado, that she felt her purpose was to be a missionary in Asia. She asked him bluntly, “Dad, do you think you could spare one of your nine children for work in China?” Preparing herself to be a nursing leader in China by carefully planned training in nursing, education, theology, and Mandarin, Margaret Prentice purposefully remained single so she could become a member of the admired Women’s Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church (WFMS). In 1924 she was assigned to a nursing supervisor position at the renowned Isabella Fisher Hospital in Tientsin (now Tianjin), North China. The Isabella Fisher Hospital was founded in 1881 by Canadian physician and missionary Lenora King. Despite many social and political challenges, it remained the top nursing training school in North China throughout the 1920’s until the 1940’s wartime occupation by the Japanese. It was there that Margaret became Miss Pu. This presentation highlights ongoing research on Margaret May Prentice and her nursing colleagues at the Isabella Fisher Hospital during the Beiyang and Nationalist Governments (from the founding of the Communist Party and into the Second Sino-Japanese War). This particular poster project focuses a lens on her unique role as a respected nursing educator and leader whose work accentuated tensions between Western, allopathic, and Christian influences on the development of nursing as a profession in China. Through published and unpublished sources from both the United States and China, oral history work with family and friends, and referencing of extensive primary autobiographical documents, this historical inquiry investigates the interplay of bicultural nursing that resulted in transculturation of both national and professional identities.

description: Mapping the Internet generally consists in sampling the network from a limited set of sources by using "traceroute"-like probes. This methodology, akin to the merging of different spanning trees to a set of destinations, has been argued to introduce uncontrolled sampling biases that might produce statistical properties of the sampled graph which sharply differ from the original ones. Here we explore these biases and provide a statistical analysis of their origin. We derive a mean-field analytical approximation for the probability of edge and vertex detection that exploits the role of the number of sources and targets and allows us to relate the global topological properties of the underlying network with the statistical accuracy of the sampled graph. In particular we find that the edge and vertex detection probability is depending on the betweenness centrality of each element. This allows us to show that shortest path routed sampling provides a better characterization of underlying graphs with scale-free topology. We complement the analytical discussion with a throughout numerical investigation of simulated mapping strategies in different network models. We show that sampled graphs provide a fair qualitative characterization of the statistical properties of the original networks in a fair range of different strategies and exploration parameters. The numerical study also allows the identification of intervals of the exploration parameters that optimize the fraction of nodes and edges discovered in the sampled graph. This finding might hint the steps toward more efficient mapping strategies.
