description: We study the multiscale simplicial flat norm (MSFN) problem, which computes flat norm at various scales of sets defined as oriented subcomplexes of finite simplicial complexes in arbitrary dimensions. We show that the multiscale simplicial flat norm is NP-complete when homology is defined over integers. We cast the multiscale simplicial flat norm as an instance of integer linear optimization. Following recent results on related problems, the multiscale simplicial flat norm integer program can be solved in polynomial time by solving its linear programming relaxation, when the simplicial complex satisfies a simple topological condition (absence of relative torsion). Our most significant contribution is the simplicial deformation theorem, which states that one may approximate a general current with a simplicial current while bounding the expansion of its mass. We present explicit bounds on the quality of this approximation, which indicate that the simplicial current gets closer to the original current as we make the simplicial complex finer. The multiscale simplicial flat norm opens up the possibilities of using flat norm to denoise or extract scale information of large data sets in arbitrary dimensions. On the other hand, it allows one to employ the large body of algorithmic results on simplicial complexes to address more general problems related to currents.

description: O cumprimento da Agenda 2030 tem implicado um aumento da capacidade de alinhamento estratégico das bibliotecas, reconhecendo-se a heterogeneidade de situações existentes. Entre as perspetivas europeias, registam-se: a valorização dos contributos sociais e económicos e a sua avaliação; a proposta de criação de uma estratégia nacional de informação; ações de sensibilização e intervenção, abordagens teóricas integradoras, estudos de investigação e modelos de alinhamento estratégico. Apresenta-se o estudo realizado pelo CHAM – Centro de Humanidades como resposta à pergunta de investigação Como pode a normalização contribuir para o alinhamento estratégico do desempenho dos serviços de informação com os Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável?, por via de duas análises: Macro - examinando a estratégia de alinhamento da ISO com a Agenda 2030; e Micro - explorando normas de indicadores de desempenho que permitam a recolha de evidências. Foram examinados 12 indicadores para as nove metas do ODS 4 e os indicadores de desempenho da ISO 11620, identificando-se o desenvolvimento de competências como ponto de alinhamento estratégico. Debate-se o papel das normas ISO em modelos de alinhamento estratégico, apresentando os dois indicadores desenvolvidos – um, focado no desenvolvimento de competências de TIC pelas bibliotecas e o outro, centrado na literacia e numeracia funcionais dos seus utilizadores.

On the computational asymptotics of Gaussian variational inference
Creators: name: Xu, Zuheng
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Variational inference is a popular alternative to Markov chain Monte Carlo methods that constructs a Bayesian posterior approximation by minimizing a discrepancy to the true posterior within a pre-specified family. This converts Bayesian inference into an optimization problem, enabling the use of simple and scalable stochas- tic optimization algorithms. However, a key limitation of variational inference is that the optimal approximation is typically not tractable to compute; even in simple settings the problem is nonconvex. Thus, recently developed statistical guarantees—which all involve the (data) asymptotic properties of the optimal varia- tional distribution—are not reliably obtained in practice. In this work, we provide two major contributions: a theoretical analysis of the asymptotic convexity prop- erties of variational inference in the popular setting with a Gaussian family; and consistent stochastic variational inference (CSVI), an algorithm that exploits these properties to find the optimal approximation in the asymptotic regime. CSVI con- sists of a tractable initialization procedure that finds the local basin of the optimal solution, and a scaled gradient descent algorithm that stays locally confined to that basin. Experiments on nonconvex synthetic examples show that compared with standard stochastic gradient descent, CSVI improves the likelihood of obtaining the globally optimal posterior approximation.

description: Lurie's representability theorem gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a functor to be an almost finitely presented derived geometric stack. We establish several variants of Lurie's theorem, making the hypotheses easier to verify for many applications. Provided a derived analogue of Schlessinger's condition holds, the theorem reduces to verifying conditions on the underived part and on cohomology groups. Another simplification is that functors need only be defined on nilpotent extensions of discrete rings. Finally, there is a pre-representability theorem, which can be applied to associate explicit geometric stacks to dg-manifolds and related objects.

description: Abstract

Bangladesh's fast-growing e-commerce, especially on Facebook, has changed business and consumer behavior. This research investigates consumer satisfaction with Bangladeshi Facebook e-commerce companies, focusing on trust, product quality, payment security, communication, logistics, and customer service. Bangladesh, with over 160 million people, is a potential e-commerce market, and Facebook is a major way for businesses to reach a wide audience. Online shopping is convenient, but problems persist. Customers often question the validity and dependability of products and services advertised on Facebook-based e-commerce platforms, casting doubt on the industry's trustworthiness. Product and service quality, payment security, and communication and customer support issues are major concerns. This study seeks to understand Bangladeshi Facebook e-commerce consumer satisfaction. The research examines the delicate interaction of these factors to improve the e-commerce experience, build trust, and maintain Bangladesh's digital economy. Bangladesh is at the crossroads of digital revolution, and e-commerce optimization can reinvent the business environment and consumer experience to help it become more prosperous and inclusive.
Secure Multiterminal Source Coding with Side Information at the Eavesdropper

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Information Theory (cs.IT)

description: The problem of secure multiterminal source coding with side information at the eavesdropper is investigated. This scenario consists of a main encoder (referred to as Alice) that wishes to compress a single source but simultaneously satisfying the desired requirements on the distortion level at a legitimate receiver (referred to as Bob) and the equivocation rate --average uncertainty-- at an eavesdropper (referred to as Eve). It is further assumed the presence of a (public) rate-limited link between Alice and Bob. In this setting, Eve perfectly observes the information bits sent by Alice to Bob and has also access to a correlated source which can be used as side information. A second encoder (referred to as Charlie) helps Bob in estimating Alice's source by sending a compressed version of its own correlated observation via a (private) rate-limited link, which is only observed by Bob. For instance, the problem at hands can be seen as the unification between the Berger-Tung and the secure source coding setups. Inner and outer bounds on the so called rates-distortion-equivocation region are derived. The inner region turns to be tight for two cases: (i) uncoded side information at Bob and (ii) lossless reconstruction of both sources at Bob --secure distributed lossless compression. Application examples to secure lossy source coding of Gaussian and binary sources in the presence of Gaussian and binary/ternary (resp.) side informations are also considered. Optimal coding schemes are characterized for some cases of interest where the statistical differences between the side information at the decoders and the presence of a non-zero distortion at Bob can be fully exploited to guarantee secrecy.

description: We consider a lattice gas on the discrete d-dimensional torus $(\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z})^d$ with a generic translation invariant, finite range interaction satisfying a uniform strong mixing condition. The lattice gas performs a Kawasaki dynamics in the presence of a weak external field E/N. We show that, under diffusive rescaling, the hydrodynamic behavior of the lattice gas is described by a nonlinear driven diffusion equation. We then prove the associated dynamical large deviation principle. Under suitable assumptions on the external field (e.g., E constant), we finally analyze the variational problem defining the quasi-potential and characterize the optimal exit trajectory. From these results we deduce the asymptotic behavior of the stationary measures of the stochastic lattice gas, which are not explicitly known. In particular, when the external field E is constant, we prove a stationary large deviation principle for the empirical density and show that the rate function does not depend on E.

description: Network coding permits to deploy distributed packet delivery algorithms that locally adapt to the network availability in media streaming applications. However, it may also increase delay and computational complexity if it is not implemented efficiently. We address here the effective placement of nodes that implement randomized network coding in overlay networks, so that the goodput is kept high while the delay for decoding stays small in streaming applications. We first estimate the decoding delay at each client, which depends on the innovative rate in the network. This estimation permits to identify the nodes that have to perform coding for a reduced decoding delay. We then propose two iterative algorithms for selecting the nodes that should perform network coding. The first algorithm relies on the knowledge of the full network statistics. The second algorithm uses only local network statistics at each node. Simulation results show that large performance gains can be achieved with the selection of only a few network coding nodes. Moreover, the second algorithm performs very closely to the central estimation strategy, which demonstrates that the network coding nodes can be selected efficiently in a distributed manner. Our scheme shows large gains in terms of achieved throughput, delay and video quality in realistic overlay networks when compared to methods that employ traditional streaming strategies as well as random network nodes selection algorithms.

Year: 2018

description: In ambito manifatturiero, il tempo di setup è definito come l’intervallo che intercorre fra l’ultima unità prodotta del lotto precedente e la prima unità buona del lotto successivo e comprende tutte le operazioni di: - ricerca delle informazioni necessarie per realizzare la nuova lavorazione; - approntamento delle attrezzature richieste a bordo macchina; - rimozione delle attrezzature relative al lotto precedente e montaggio delle nuove; - eventuali modifiche e aggiustamenti, compresa l’eventuale produzione non conforme. Il setup è una fase da cui non si può prescindere ma spesso contiene passaggi complicati e lunghe tempistiche. Eliminare questi "sprechi", secondo i princìpi del Lean Manufacturing, attraverso un processo di ottimizzazione e standardizzazione dei flussi operativi, permette di acquisire maggior flessibilità creando, di conseguenza, una maggior disponibilità delle macchine per le attività di produzione a valoreaggiunto. I progetti di razionalizzazione del setup consentono di ottenere diversi vantaggi: - la riduzione del tempo di fermata, con minori costi operativi e di mancata produzione; - maggiore standardizzazione delle operazioni. Il presente lavoro s’è proprio concentrato sulla completa revisione delle attività di setup in uno dei processi di confezionamento di prodotti farmaceutici di Zambon, raggiungendo risultati tangibili in termini di incrementata efficienza e capacità produttiva. Lavoro di diploma – Ingegneria gestionale 10/117. Abstract The setup time is defined as the time between the last element produced in the previous batch and the first quality unit of the following batch. It includes all the following operations: - searching the information required to carry out the next production; - preparing all the required tools next to the manufacturing equipment; - removing of tools used for the previous batch and installation of the new ones; - adjustments and minor modifications, including trial (scrap) production. Setup is always fundamental and non-skippable but sometimes includes hard steps and requires long processing times. In accordance to Lean Manufacturing principles, removing these "wastes" through a process of optimization and standardization results in greater flexibility and increased machine availability for value-added production activities. Streamlining and simplifying setup activities results in the following advantages: - reduction of idle time, with lower operating costs and reduced production losses; - increased standardization of operations; This work focused on the complete review of the setup activities in one of the Zambon pharmaceutical packaging processes, achieving tangible results in terms of increased efficiency and production capacity.

description: Esta apresentação pretende dar a conhecer uma das mais importantes operações de um plano estruturado de conservação preventiva – a higienização. Incompreendida e muitas vezes encarada de forma depreciativa, ela vai muito para além do simples gesto de limpar o pó. A higienização de acervos, particularmente de acervos de arquitetura, é uma importante e complexa operação que, assente no conhecimento científico e multidisciplinar de um conservador-restaurador, permite compreender patologias degenerativas e mecanismos de degradação, identificar pragas ativas ou inativas e propor os melhores sistemas de acondicionamento. A doação à Fundação Marques da Silva de quatro acervos de diferentes arquitetos, contendo projetos construídos ou, muitas vezes, apenas imaginados, serviu de mote para uma intensa campanha de higienização e acondicionamento que decorreu nos primeiros meses de 2022 e que permitiu estabelecer pontos de comunicação e esforços concertados entre os vários profissionais que nela colaboraram. Assim, foi possível mitigar riscos, identificar diferentes processos de foto-reprodução, sinalizar processos de degradação e necessidades de intervenções de restauro que facilitarão o estabelecimento de prioridades e futuras tomadas de decisão sobre estes documentos que registam a obra, construída ou que permaneceu em projeto.

description: We give an account of the complex Arithmetic-Geometric Mean (AGM), as first studied by Gauss, together with details of its relationship with the theory of elliptic curves over $\C$, their period lattices and complex parametrisation. As an application, we present efficient methods for computing bases for the period lattices and elliptic logarithms of points, for arbitrary elliptic curves defined over $\C$. Earlier authors have only treated the case of elliptic curves defined over the real numbers; here, the multi-valued nature of the complex AGM plays an important role. Our method, which we have implemented in both \Magma\ and \Sage, is illustrated with several examples using elliptic curves defined over number fields with real and complex embeddings.

description: We study restrictions imposed by quantum mechanics on the process of matrix elements transfer. This problem is at the core of quantum measurements and state transfer. Given two systems $\A$ and $\B$ with initial density matrices $λ$ and $r$, respectively, we consider interactions that lead to transferring certain matrix elements of unknown $λ$ into those of the final state ${\widetilde r}$ of $\B$. We find that this process eliminates the memory on the transferred (or certain other) matrix elements from the final state of $\A$. If one diagonal matrix element is transferred, ${\widetilde r}_{aa}=λ_{aa}$, the memory on each non-diagonal element $λ_{a\not=b}$ is completely eliminated from the final density operator of $\A$. Consider the following three quantities $\Re \la_{a\not =b}$, $\Im \la_{a\not =b}$ and $\la_{aa}-\la_{bb}$ (the real and imaginary part of a non-diagonal element and the corresponding difference between diagonal elements). Transferring one of them, e.g., $\Re\tir_{a\not = b}=\Re\la_{a\not = b}$, erases the memory on two others from the final state of $\A$. Generalization of these set-ups to a finite-accuracy transfer brings in a trade-off between the accuracy and the amount of preserved memory. This trade-off is expressed via system-independent uncertainty relations which account for local aspects of the accuracy-disturbance trade-off in quantum measurements.

description: We present a mechanism for the crystalline silicate production associated with the formation and subsequent destruction of massive fragments in young protostellar disks. The fragments form in the embedded phase of star formation via disk fragmentation at radial distances \ga 50-100 AU and anneal small amorphous grains in their interior when the gas temperature exceeds the crystallization threshold of ~ 800 K. We demonstrate that fragments that form in the early embedded phase can be destroyed before they either form solid cores or vaporize dust grains, thus releasing the processed crystalline dust into various radial distances from sub-AU to hundred-AU scales. Two possible mechanisms for the destruction of fragments are the tidal disruption and photoevaporation as fragments migrate radially inward and approach the central star and also dispersal by tidal torques exerted by spiral arms. As a result, most of the crystalline dust concentrates to the disk inner regions and spiral arms, which are the likely sites of fragment destruction.

Uma vocação centenária: a biblioteca da Imprensa Nacional
Creators: name: Queiroz, Inês
Publisher: name: Actas do Congresso Nacional de Bibliotecários, Arquivistas e Documentalistas
Year: 2023

description: A biblioteca da Imprensa Nacional é depositária de um património bibliográfico e documental com mais de dois séculos e meio. O seu acervo compreende boa parte do património da editora pública, mas também um largo conjunto de coleções com interesse para a história das artes gráficas, da tipografia, do livro, da língua e da cultura portuguesas. O primeiro espaço da biblioteca localizava-se no já desaparecido palácio Soares de Noronha, que acolheu originalmente a Imprensa Nacional, em 1768, no lugar do qual hoje se encontra o atual edifício, construído entre 1895 e 1913. Em 3 de outubro de 1923, nasceu aqui a nova biblioteca, na «Sala António José de Almeida», que em 2023 completará 100 anos de atividade. A evocação do primeiro centenário desta biblioteca é uma oportunidade para aprofundar o conhecimento histórico sobre as suas coleções mas também para refletir sobre a sua missão de futuro no âmbito do serviço público da Imprensa Nacional, que tem por objetivo a promoção da língua e da cultura portuguesas tanto no quadro dos valores democráticos, como no que diz respeito à sua relação com a comunidade, seja ela territorial, virtual, académica ou de outra natureza.

description: Quantum molecular dynamic simulations are introduced to study the dynamical, electrical, and optical properties of carbon dioxide under dynamic compressions. The principal Hugoniot derived from the calculated equation of states is demonstrated to be well accordant with experimental results. Molecular dissociation and recombination are investigated through pair correlation functions, and decomposition of carbon dioxide is found to be between 40 and 50 GPa along the Hugoniot, where nonmetal-metal transition is observed. In addition, the optical properties of shock compressed carbon dioxide are also theoretically predicted along the Hugoniot.

description: Macroscopic EEG fields can be an explicit top-down neocortical mechanism that directly drives bottom-up processes that describe memory, attention, and other neuronal processes. The top-down mechanism considered are macrocolumnar EEG firings in neocortex, as described by a statistical mechanics of neocortical interactions (SMNI), developed as a magnetic vector potential $\mathbf{A}$. The bottom-up process considered are $\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}$ waves prominent in synaptic and extracellular processes that are considered to greatly influence neuronal firings. Here, the complimentary effects are considered, i.e., the influence of $\mathbf{A}$ on $\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}$ momentum, $\mathbf{p}$. The canonical momentum of a charged particle in an electromagnetic field, $\mathbfΠ = \mathbf{p} + q \mathbf{A}$ (SI units), is calculated, where the charge of $\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}$ is $q = - 2 e$, $e$ is the magnitude of the charge of an electron. Calculations demonstrate that macroscopic EEG $\mathbf{A}$ can be quite influential on the momentum $\mathbf{p}$ of $\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}$ ions, in both classical and quantum mechanics. Molecular scales of $\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}$ wave dynamics are coupled with $\mathbf{A}$ fields developed at macroscopic regional scales measured by coherent neuronal firing activity measured by scalp EEG. The project has three main aspects: fitting $\mathbf{A}$ models to EEG data as reported here, building tripartite models to develop $\mathbf{A}$ models, and studying long coherence times of $\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}$ waves in the presence of $\mathbf{A}$ due to coherent neuronal firings measured by scalp EEG. The SMNI model supports a mechanism wherein the $\mathbf{p} + q \mathbf{A}$ interaction at tripartite synapses, via a dynamic centering mechanism (DCM) to control background synaptic activity, acts to maintain short-term memory (STM) during states of selective attention.

Surface texture generation using high-feed milling with spindle speed modulation
Creators: name: Huang, Fengqing
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Surface texturing is a manufacturing process to generate periodic geometric patterns on component surfaces in order to achieve certain functions, such as tribological property, adhesion, and wettability. This thesis presents a surface texturing technique using ball-end milling with high feed speed and spindle speed modulation. The ratio between the feedrate and the cutting tool radius is in the range of 0.2-0.4 when the spindle speed is a constant, and a certain amount of workpiece material remains after the cutting process to form the surface texture. A sinusoidal modulation signal is added to the spindle speed command, so the spindle speed becomes time-varying in order to generate different texture profiles based on the modulated frequency and amplitude. The cutting tool kinematics of the surface texturing process are modeled considering the tool tip run-out and deflection due to the cutting forces. Z-map method is used to simulate the geometry of the 3-D surface texture based on the tool tip trajectory. The effects of modulation parameters on tool tip trajectories and surface textures are analyzed. The relationship between the micro features of the surface texture and the process parameters are determined. Surface texturing experiments are conducted based on the proposed technique, and tribology tests are performed on the textured surfaces. It is shown that the textured surfaces present frictional anisotropy, which depends on the process conditions and the modulation parameters of the spindle speed. The proposed technique is able to achieve fast generation of various surface textures without additional instrumentation, and the final texture geometry is controllable based on the presented kinematics model.
title: Prävention und assistierter Suizid bei jungen Erwachsenen
Creators: name: Frey, Caroline
Year: 2023

description: Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die Auseinandersetzung mit der Fragestellung, ob die weitreichende Legalisierung des assistierten Suizids neben der Konsequenz der Liberalisierung des Umganges mit dem Sterben sowie der erneut bestärkten Rolle der freien Selbstbestimmung vorschnellen Zugang zur Sterbehilfe bei jungen Erwachsenen und auch Kindern eröffnet oder ob Kriterien missbräuchlichen Gebrauch verhindern. Thematisch setzt sich die Arbeit daraus zusammen, dass die ethischen Positionen, die für und gegen die Option der Sterbehilfe sprechen, hinsichtlich einer ethischen Legitimation analysiert werden. Nach der Beschreibung der aktuellen Gesetzeslagen in Österreich, in den Niederlanden und in Belgien sollen Statistiken, die sich auf Fallzahlen aus den Niederlanden und aus Belgien beziehen, ausgewertet sowie die Entwicklungen in diesen Ländern auf die Lage in Österreich untersucht werden. In Anbetracht der möglichen Negativfolgen wird die gesetzliche Ausführung kritisch untersucht. Schlussendlich wird in einer ethischen Diskussion aufgezeigt, dass die aktuelle Entwicklung in den Niederlanden und in Belgien als ein warnendes Exempel hinsichtlich einer gesetzlichen Ausweitung auf Kinder und Jugendliche in Österreich statuieren soll. Infolgedessen, dass die gezogenen Kriterien zur Beurteilung der Entscheidungsfähigkeit und Gewährung der Suizidbeihilfe einen verantwortungsvollen Weg schaffen, jedoch die Gefahren von Missbräuchen, Fehlbeurteilungen und auch die Möglichkeit einer gesetzlichen Ausweitung nicht verhindern können, sollen in einem letzten Schritt mögliche Präventionsmaßnahmen aufgezeigt werden.
description: The aim of this thesis is to address the question of whether the legalization of assisted suicide, in addition to liberalizing the approach to dying and reaffirming the role of self-determination, opens up hasty access to euthanasia among young adults and also children or whether criteria prevent abusive use. The present thesis analyzes the ethical positions that speak for and against the option of euthanasia with regard to a socio-ethical legitimacy. First, the current legal situations in Austria, the Netherlands, and Belgium are outlined. Then, statistics which refer to case numbers in the Netherlands and Belgium are evaluated, and the developments in these countries is examined the situation in Austria. Next, in view of the possible negative consequences, the legal implementation is critically examined. An ethical discussion then shows that the current developments in the Netherlands and Belgium should serve as a warning example regarding a legal extension to children and adolescents in Austria. While the legal criteria for the assessment of decision-making capacity and for granting assisted suicide help exercising assisted suicide in a responsible way, it cannot prevent the dangers of abuse, misjudgement and also the possibility of a legal extension. Therefore, in a final step, possible preventive measures of suicide are pointed out.
On the instantons and the hypermultiplet mass of N=2* super Yang-Mills on S^4

description: We show that the physical N=4 super Yang-Mills theory on a four-sphere with an arbitrary gauge group receives no instanton contributions, by clarifying the relation between the hypermultiplet mass and the equivariant parameters of the mass-deformed theory preserving N=2 supersymmetry. The correct relation also implies that N=4 superconformal Yang-Mills theory with gauge group SU(2) corresponds to Liouville theory on a torus with the insertion of a non-trivial operator, rather than the identity as have been claimed in the literature.

title: Auswirkungen der COVID-19 Krise auf die Finanzberichterstattung und wirtschaftliche Leistung österreichischer ATX-Prime Unternehmen
Creators: name: Kowalski, Jonas
Year: 2023

description: Der Gegenstand dieser Arbeit ist die Untersuchung der Auswirkungen der Corona-Krise auf die Finanzberichterstattung und finanzielle Leistung der österreichischen ATX-Prime Unternehmen. Um die Auswirkungen der Krise zu messen, wird zunächst eine textbasierte Inhaltsanalyse durchgeführt um den negativen Ton, sowie die Frequenz an Corona-Begriffen in den Halbjahresberichten der ATX-Prime Unternehmen zu bestimmen. Auf Basis dieser Analyse wird weiterhin durch ein lineares Regressionsmodell ermittelt, ob eine Korrelation zwischen der Frequenz der Corona-Begriffe (Forschungsmodell 1), bzw. dem Tonfall der Berichte (Forschungsmodell 2) und der Unternehmensleistung, gemessen an der Entwicklung der Gesamtkapitalrendite, besteht. Die Untersuchungsgruppe beinhaltet zunächst 40 Unternehmen und neben den Informationen aus den Halbjahresberichten von 2020 werden zusätzlich die Halbjahresberichte aus 2019 genutzt, um auf die Entwicklung des Tonfalls einzugehen, sowie die Entwicklung der Gesamtkapitalrendite festzustellen. Anhand dieses Vergleichs, kann zunächst festgestellt werden, dass der negative Tonfall in den Halbjahresberichten von 2020 stärker ausgeprägt ist als der negative Tonfall in den Halbjahresberichten von 2019. Zusätzlich wird erkannt, dass die Entwicklung der Gesamtkapitalrentabilität in diesem Vergleich ebenfalls negativ ist. Diese Untersuchungen und der Vergleich der Berichte deuten darauf hin, dass die Krise Auswirkungen auf die Berichterstattung und finanzielle Leistung der untersuchten Unternehmen hat. Allerdings kann durch die Regressionsanalyse kein signifikanter Einfluss des negativen Tonfalls, bzw. der Frequenz der Corona-Begriffe auf die Entwicklung der Gesamtkapitalrentabilität gezeigt werden.
