MULTI-ATTRIBUTE AND TEMPORAL ANALYSIS OF PRODUCT REVIEWS USING TOPIC MODELLING AND SENTIMENT ANALYSIS
Creators: name: Suthar, Meet Tusharbhai
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2022
Subjects: Business analytics

description: Online reviews are frequently utilized to determine a product's quality before purchase along with the photographs and one-to-five star ratings. The research addressed the two distinct problems observed in the review systems. First, due to thousands of reviews for a product, the different characteristics of customer evaluations, such as consumer sentiments, cannot be understood by manually reading only a few reviews. Second, from these reviews, it is extremely hard to understand the change in these sentiments and other important product aspects over the years (temporal analysis). To address these problems, the study focused on 2 main research parts. Part one of the research was focused on answering how topic modelling and sentiment analysis can work together to give deeper understanding on attribute-based product review. The second part compared different topic modelling approaches to evaluate the performances and advantages of emerging NLP models. For this purpose, a dataset consisting of 469 publicly accessible Amazon evaluations of the Kindle E-reader and 15,000 reviews of iPhone products was utilized to examine sentiment Analysis and Topic modelling. Latent Dirichlet Allocation topic model and BERTopic topic model were used to perform topic modelling and to acquire the diverse topics of concern. Sentiment Analysis was carried out to better understand each topic's positive and negative tones. Topic analysis of Kindle user evaluations revealed the following major themes: (a) leisure consumption, (b) utility as a gift, (c) pricing, (d) parental control, (e) reliability and durability, and (f) charging. While the main themes emerged from the analysis of iPhone reviews depended on the model and year of the device, some themes were found to be consistent across all the iPhone models including (a) Apple vs Android (b) utility as gift and (c) service. The study's approach helped to analyze customer reviews for any product, and the study results provided a deeper understanding of the product's strengths and weaknesses based on a comprehensive analysis of user feedback useful for product makers, retailers, e-commerce platforms, and consumers.

Raw Sugar -- Weight and Polarization Changes During Bulk Shipment from Puerto Rico
Creators: name: Martin, Robert G.

Year: 1961
Subjects: subject: Marketing
subject: FOS: Economics and business

description: Excerpts from the Introduction: Bulk shipment of raw sugar from Puerto Rico began in 1947 with the opening of the first bulk shipping terminal. Previously, all shipments had been in bags. In 1955, a second bulk shipping terminal was placed in operation; then about one-fourth of the raw sugar produced in Puerto Rico could be shipped in bulk. In 1958 two more terminals were opened, and all Puerto Rican raw sugar was shipped in bulk. During this rapid transition from bagged to bulk handling, Puerto Rican raw sugar producers frequently complained of excessive weight losses during shipment. Producers are paid on the basis of the weight and polarization of each cargo as determined at the unloading port. Weight and polarization usually change in transit. Terminals weigh and determine the polarization of all sugar as they receive it from the mills. In this study, comparisons were made between the total weight and average polarization of sugar received at each terminal during the years 1957 through 1960, and the weight and polarization of the sugar received at mainland ports. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of the differences in weight and polarization in sugar from the time it was received at the port terminal and when it was received at the mainland refinery and to identify and determine the importance of the major factors accounting for the changes.

description: Focusing mostly on the territorial dispute over the “Northern Territories” this chapter explores the relationship between public preferences and policymaking in Japan’s relations with the USSR and Russia. The chapter is divided into four sections. The introductory section provides a brief overview of the history of the territorial dispute and related negotiations between Japan and the USSR/Russia. The second section explores the dynamics in the Japanese public opinion related to the dispute, the factors that shaped it, and its relationship with state policy. The third section examines the role of the dispute in other areas of bilateral relations. The concluding section summarizes the arguments made in this chapter and offers some observations regarding the factors that explain the relationship between public opinion and policymaking in the case of the Northern Territories dispute. The main argument of this chapter is that public preferences played a rather limited role in shaping Japan’s Northern Territories–related policy. This can be attributed to a number of factors, including the relatively small size of the issue public, voting behavior, the centrality of bureaucracy in policymaking, and the minimal impact of the territorial dispute on other areas of bilateral relations.

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2022
Subjects: Digital forensics

description: WeChat is one of the most popular applications in the world. By 2021, there were 1.24 billion users of WeChat. Many people call it the `super app` because it is an application for everything. Besides the basic messaging feature, it also supports online payment, video posts, news feeds, and more. Due to its wide usage, many criminals are using the platforms for illegal activities such as bank fraud, cyberbullying, and stalking. For these reasons, we need to understand WeChat forensically to assist investigators in cases involving WeChat. Previous research was mostly focused on the messaging of the WeChat application. However, artifacts of other features remain on the device undiscovered. These features can provide crucial evidence to a case such as geo-locations or monetary transactions. WeChat keeps updates monthly, and these updates may add new features or modify the data structure. The official website does not provide a detailed description of its features so it is hard for a non-WeChat user to understand the functionalities. Therefore, research is required to analyze the background, structure, and possible artifacts remaining of the WeChat app to assist practitioners who encounter WeChat in an investigation. This study included all platforms that WeChat provides, Windows, MacOS, Android, and iOS.

description: Miniature mass spectrometers are in a phase of rapid development due to their potential in offering simple yet powerful solutions for a wide variety of unmet biomedical needs. In particular, the combination of ambient ionization methods with miniature mass spectrometers offers an attractive solution for improving patient outcomes and reducing the healthcare burden on patients as well as clinicians opposed to current methods for disease prognosis and diagnosis. There has been a rapid expansion in the commercial offerings of miniature mass spectrometers from commercial vendors, both large and small, including Purspec, Bayspec, MassTech, Waters, and Advion. Despite the large number of instruments that have been made available and the success of many of these systems with analysis of a broad range of biological matrices, much work remains to perform bioanalysis of complex molecules with concentrations that often lie in the ng/mL-µg/mL range. Miniaturization of mass spectrometers is accompanied by design simplifications in comparison to benchtop instruments, so that sacrifices are often made in terms of performance. The figure of merit that is compromised, of course, depends on the design of the instrument itself. Thus, in addition to a good understanding of the operation of the mass spectrometer, it is crucial that the ionization method for the analyte be chosen judiciously, and that the method is suitably optimized to be able to perform the measurements to obtain high quality data for trace analysis. The custom built Mini-12 miniature MS systems at Purdue University is one such miniature mass spectrometer that can be used for making on-site measurements. In this work, I have described my efforts to perform trace analysis of a range of molecules (tenofovir diphosphate, cabotegravir, rilpivirine, and phosphatidylethanol) relevant to HIV treatment and prevention with the Mini-12 system. Based on the most favorable set of conditions for developing a particular assay, method performance parameters are listed for each of the applications described. In all the above applications, the desired detection limits are met by adopting a broad range of strategies with the focus of keeping the method amenable to use at the point-of-care, i.e., ensuring that sample preparation is completed in <4 minutes. The proof-of-concept results obtained with the custom built Mini-12 mass spectrometer at Purdue University lays the groundwork to (i) encourage the introduction of miniature mass spectrometer-based assays for the molecules listed in a clinical setting and (ii) extend the use of miniature mass spectrometer-based assays for other therapeutic regimens that require longitudinal monitoring.

Japan's Territorial Disputes’ Policy: Success or Failure?
Creators: name: Bukh, Alexander
Publisher: name: Open Access Victoria University of Wellington | Te Herenga Waka
Year: 2021

description: Today, Japan has territorial disputes with all of its neighbors. In the case of the disputes over South Kuriles/Northern Territories and Dokdo/Takeshima, Japan seeks return of a territory that it claims to be illegally occupied by Russia and South Korea respectively. It the case of the Senkakus/Diaoyu, it is China and Taiwan that claim the islands administered by Japan. This chapter focuses on Japan's territorial disputes' related policy. It examines the policy goals set by the Japanese government and evaluates their successes and failures. It may seem that retrieval of lost territories and preservation of control over the Senkakus has been consistently the main goal of Japan's government. This chapter however shows that the actual policies related to the disputes have been more fluid and complex. It shows that the goals of Japan's government and related policies were not static and evolved over time, reflecting changes in ruling elites' priorities, domestic politics and structural changes on both regional and global levels. The chapter also shows that successful achievement of a certain policy goal can lead to failure at a later stage and vice versa.

description: The main aim of this study is to understand the requirements for labelling, testing and processing of novel foods in the UK. This study further provides the background chronicle of the evolution of novel food in the UK with more searchlight beamed on the types of novel foods, technology used for processing and current consumer trends for this product category. It also examined the government regulation on novel foods, labelling requirements, testing and safety assessments of novel foods. Systematic review approach was used to select and examine relevant research studies, and to extract and analyse the data from studies included in the review. A total of 57 studies were filtered out for review from the 965 records obtained from the databases. Also, additional 31 studies from 56 records obtained from regulatory websites of EFSA, FSA, DHSC, UK government legislative websites, official government reports and publications were also included for the review. The studies revealed that compliance to labelling regulations and requirements, passing the testing regime for toxicity and safety assessment, and the technology used for processing the novel foods are critical to its acceptability and market growth/development. The study revealed that the regulation, testing and processing of novel foods are different from conventional foods. The study also showed that novel foods are regulated within a regulatory framework specifically crafted to ensure that novel foods placement into the UK market are managed effectively by ensuring that they are safe for consumption and pose no risk to public health

description: Τα τελευταία χρόνια, η ραγδαία ανάπτυξη στα αναλογικά ολοκληρωμένα κυκλώματα πολύ υψηλών συχνοτήτων (RFIC)  οφείλεται κυρίως στην εξέλιξη της τεχνολογίας CMOS. Οι λόγοι που οδήγησαν σε αυτήν την ανάπτυξη συνοψίζονται κυρίως στους εξής: την υψηλή απόδοση, που απορρέει από τη σμίκρυνση του μήκους καναλιού των CMOS τεχνολογιών, το χαμηλότερο κόστος τους, συγκριτικά με άλλες τεχνολογίες, καθώς και την γρήγορη ενσωμάτωση τους στον τομέα της μικροηλεκτρονικής. Αποτέλεσμα των παραπάνω, είναι τεχνολογίες CMOS με μήκος καναλιού κάτω από τα 45nm να θεωρούνται, πλέον, αιχμή της τεχνολογίας. Λόγω του υψηλού λόγου απόδοσης προς κόστος και της αξιοπιστίας (reliability) τους, τεχνολογίες με μεγαλύτερα μήκη καναλιού (90nm ή και 180nm) χρησιμοποιούνται ακόμα και στις μέρες μας κατά κόρον στην σχεδίαση και κατασκευή RFICs.
Σκοπός της παρούσας μεταπτυχιακής εργασίας είναι η μελέτη και αξιοποίηση τεχνικών σχεδίασης για RFICs υψηλής απόδοσης, καλύπτοντας ένα μεγάλο εύρος CMOS τεχνολογιών, από τα 90nm ως τα 30nm. Η παρούσα έρευνα εκτείνεται από την ορθή υλοποίηση του φυσικού σχεδίου (layout) RF διατάξεων και κυκλωμάτων έως τον καθορισμό του βέλτιστου σημείου λειτουργίας τους και βρίσκει εφαρμογή σε κυκλώματα ενισχυτών χαμηλού θορύβου (LNA). Για τον σκοπό αυτό σχεδιάστηκε, υλοποιήθηκε και κατασκευάστηκε ένα RF τεστ τσιπ σε τεχνολογία 90nm της TSMC. Οι δομές που υλοποιήθηκαν, στη συνέχεια μετρήθηκαν on wafer,, χαρακτηρίσθηκαν και μοντελοποιήθηκαν με το EKV3 μοντέλο έως τα 26.5GHz. Εν συνεχεία, μελετήθηκε και παρουσιάζεται η επίδραση βασικών παραμέτρων σχεδίασης, όπως μήκος (L), πλάτος (W) καναλιού, αριθμός δακτύλων (NF) στην απόδοση των MOSFET δομών και των ενισχυτών χαμηλού θορύβου, μέσω αντιπροσωπευτικών δεικτών απόδοσης (figures of merit), σε τεχνολογία με μήκος καναλιού 90nm.
Οι συγκεκριμένοι δείκτες απόδοσης μελετήθηκαν επίσης σε προηγμένη CMOS τεχνολογία με μήκος καναλιού 30nm. Tα αποτελέσματα,  τα οποία επικυρώθηκαν με το EKV3 μοντέλο, ανέδειξαν την μετατόπιση του βέλτιστου σημείου λειτουργίας RF κυκλωμάτων προς το μέσο της περιοχής μέτριας αναστροφής, με την μείωση του μήκους καναλιού. Το γεγονός αυτό είναι πολύ σημαντικό, καθώς καθιστά εφικτή την μείωση της κατανάλωσης ισχύος, με ταυτόχρονη αύξηση της συνολικής απόδοσης των εν λόγω κυκλωμάτων.

description: Τα τελευταία χρόνια ένα από τα βασικότερα παγκόσμια προβλήματα είναι το ενεργειακό, και ένα σκέλος του είναι αυτό της ενεργειακής κατανάλωσης και εξοικονόμηση ενέργειας σε κτίρια. Οι συμβατικές μέθοδοι θέρμανσης και ψύξης κατοικιών και γραφείων είναι ιδιαίτερα ενεργοβόρες και σε συνδυασμό με τις κατασκευαστικές ατέλειες των κτιρίων αποτελούν ένα περίπλοκο πρόβλημα με πολλές πτυχές για την εύρεση τις βέλτιστης λύσης.
Για τη μείωση των ενεργειακών απωλειών ενός κτιρίου αναπτύχτηκε και ο τομέας του βιοκλιματικού σχεδιασμού και των συστημάτων ελέγχου των ενεργειακών στοιχείων αυτού, όπως συστήματα σκίασης, εξαερισμού, ηλιακά συστήματα, σύγχρονα συστήματα ψύξης θέρμανσης και συστήματα παραγωγής ενέργειας. Τα αποτελέσματα αυτού του τομέα είναι πολύ ενθαρρυντικά, αλλά αφορούν μόνο την κατασκευή νέων κτιρίων, αφού για η προσαρμογή αυτών των στοιχείων σε υπάρχοντα κτίρια ισοδύναμες με μεγάλο κόστος. Όμως επειδή τα καινούργια κτίρια είναι πολύ λίγα σε σχέση με τα ήδη υπάρχοντα, για αυτό το λόγο δίνεται ιδιαίτερη προσοχή για την ανάπτυξη θερμικών μοντέλων και την προσομοίωση αυτών. Με αυτόν τον τρόπο δίνεται η δυνατότητα να δοκιμαστούν διάφορα μοντέλα ώστε να προσδιοριστεί το βέλτιστο μοντέλο για ένα σύστημα κτιρίου που είναι από τα πιο περίπλοκα διότι αποτελείται από πολλές μεταβλητές.
Η παρούσα εργασία παρουσιάζει αναλυτικά την δημιουργία ενός συστήματος προσομοίωσης για την δόκιμη δυναμικών μεθόδων αυτομάτου έλεγχου. Χρησιμοποιήσαμε το πρόγραμμα Energy Plus για λογισμικό ανάπτυξης του θερμικού μοντέλου και το πρόγραμμα BCVTB για να επικοινωνήσει το μοντέλο με το σύστημα αυτόματου ελέγχου. Το σύστημα αυτομάτου έλεγχου υλοποιήθηκε στο πρόγραμμα Simulink με την χρήση μοντέλων ασαφούς λογικής.

description: Στην παρούσα μεταπτυχιακή διατριβή εξετάστηκε η παραγωγή στρουβίτη από υγρά απόβλητα που προέρχονταν από την Εγκατάσταση Επεξεργασίας Λυμάτων (ΕΕΛ) της πόλης Χανίων. Η χρήση του στρουβίτη ως λίπασμα έχει προταθεί εδώ και 150 χρόνια, αλλά παρέμεινε περιορισμένη, λόγω του υψηλού κόστους παρασκευής. Στις μέρες μας, οπότε η απομάκρυνση φωσφόρου από τα υδατικά απόβλητα είναι επιβεβλημένη, έχει αυξηθεί το ενδιαφέρον για τη δυνατότητα ανάκτησής του με τη μορφή κρυστάλλων στρουβίτη.
Για τη διεξαγωγή των πειραμάτων, υδατικά δείγματα συλλέχθηκαν από τις φυγοκεντρικές αντλίες της ΕΕΛ των Χανίων, κατά το στάδιο της αφυδάτωσης της ιλύος. Τα υπό μελέτη δείγματα προέρχονταν από: α) ιλύ, η οποία έχει υποστεί πρωτοβάθμια καθίζηση και αναερόβια χώνευση, καθώς επίσης β) ιλύ, η οποία έχει υποστεί αερόβια βιολογική επεξεργασία. Με τη χρήση ενός ηλεκτροδίου μαγνησίου και τη μέθοδο της ηλεκτροκροκίδωσης πραγματοποιήθηκαν δοκιμές με στόχο να ανακτηθεί ο φώσφορος που περιέχονταν στα λύματα με τη δημιουργία στρουβίτη, με ταυτόχρονη μείωση των τιμών του αζώτου. Η ανάκτηση φωσφόρου με τη μορφή στρουβίτη δεν είναι μια απλή διεργασία, καθώς επηρεάζεται από πολλές παραμέτρους. Για το λόγο αυτό, εξετάστηκαν οι παράγοντες που επηρεάζουν τον ρυθμό παραγωγής του στρουβίτη, όπως το pH, η μοριακή αναλογία και η πυκνότητα της έντασης του ηλεκτρικού ρεύματος. Τέλος, πραγματοποιήθηκε σχολιασμός των αποτελεσμάτων και σύγκριση με υπάρχουσες μελέτες. Διαπιστώθηκε ότι υπάρχει η δυνατότητα σχηματισμού στρουβίτη με αυτή τη μέθοδο, η καθαρότητα του οποίου εξαρτάται άμεσα με την τιμή του pH και τη μοριακή αναλογία αζώτου – φωσφόρου.

description: This thesis examined the recovery of nutrients from wastewater through electrochemical struvite precipitation. Two different wastewater samples were collected from the centrifuge dewatering unit of the municipal wastewater treatment plant of Chania: (a) Centrifugate from anaerobically digested primary sludge, and (b) Centrifugate from thickened activated sludge (undigested). Magnesium necessary for struvite precipitation came from a sacrificial magnesium electrode. Several experimental tests were performed to recover the existing phosphorus and ammonia nitrogen contained in the wastewaters. Reacting factors examined were the pH, molar ratio of nutrients and magnesium, as well as the electric current density. Finally, conclusions were drawn, while the results of the present study were also compared to respective literature results.

description: U. S. Department of Agriculture surveys show that in recent years, taxes on farmland in communities affected by suburban developments have averaged at least twice as high as on farms outside this zone of influence, and that the former have been increasing about twice as rapidly as the latter. The study reported here is concerned primarily with the effects of the preferential assessment law in use since 1956 in Maryland. Its purpose is to study the legal history of the law, to examine its effects on assessed values of farmland and on farm taxes, and to consider the administrative aspects of a policy of preferential assessment.

description: Decreased respiratory functioning is a common symptom of spinal cord injury (SCI) and can impact individuals’ personal, professional, and social lives. In spite of this, researchers have not explored the use of music in the lives of individuals with SCIs or music’s role in their healthcare professionals’ treatment plans to improve respiratory functioning. The purpose of this qualitative study was to better understand how decreased respiratory functioning affects individuals with SCIs and healthcare professionals through a multiple case study design. Participants were two individuals with SCIs and three healthcare professionals (physical therapist, recreational therapist, and music therapist) who worked with individuals with SCIs. Findings showed that decreased respiratory functioning affected many aspects of life for participants living with SCIs and multiple factors of treatment goals for healthcare professionals. Anxiety, stress, sexual functioning, and trouble sleeping were among the factors affecting participants with SCIs, while decreased treatment times and lightheadedness/loss of consciousness were included in considerations for healthcare professionals. Most participants only used music for entertainment, but some noted the value of singing with preferred music and music for anxiety reduction. Individuals with SCIs may benefit from music therapy interventions to decrease anxiety and improve their quality of life.

description: Mortality attributable to atherosclerosis can be reduced significantly with timely diagnosis and treatment. It is meaningful to find a proper way to diagnose and prevent the progression of atherosclerosis. Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) expressed by endothelial cells is a prominent marker of atherosclerotic plaques. There are a number of researches on VCAM-1 based probes for targeted imaging, but rarely on a system with both targeting and drug delivery. Here, we report a novel magnetic mesoporous silicon nanoparticle that is capable of drug delivery and targeting at atherosclerosis plaque. The nanoparticles were constructed using incorporated FITC (fluorescein isothiocyanate) and VHPKQHR peptide into Fe3O4@SiO2 (FITC-VHP-Fe3O4@SiO2). The FITC-VHP-Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles showed great morphological characteristics, superior targeting ability, low toxicity and good biocompatibility in vitro and in vivo. The in vivo experiments showed that FITC-VHP-Fe3O4@SiO2 is a superior contrast agent of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for diagnosis of atherosclerosis plaques.

title: Federalism and conflict management in multi ethnic societies : The case of Cyprus in comparative Perspective
Creators: name: Duba, G. U
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: This thesis examines the federal elements of the the latest UN model-the Annan Planusing theories of federalism and carefully selected comparative case studies to generate “benchmarks” for an evaluation. The purpose of that study is to explore the conditions under which federalism is likely to achieve peaceful outcomes in Cyprus. The study poses three questions related to the accommodation of ethnic diversity in Cyprus. These questions arise from the need to make a contribution to the political discussion about the future of a multi-ethnic, unified Cyprus and from the theoretical discussions about the capacity of federal systems to promote conflict management in multi-ethnic societies. The first focuses on federalism as a way of dealing with conflict in multi-ethnic societies. The second asks whether federalism envisioned in the Annan Plan is an adequate framework to hold Cyprus together. The third question studies the conditions under which federalism is expected to play a positive role for sustainable conflict resolution in Cyprus. The literature on federalism has a tendency to make insufficiently precise claims regarding the conditions under which institutional arrangements are likely to achieve peaceful outcomes. These three questions are developed in three separate sections. The first puts forward various conflict management institutions and techniques in order to evaluate to what extent they are likely to contribute to the legitimacy of a multi-ethnic polity. In the second section, carefully selected case studies have been used to demonstrate how - and with what effect - federal and consociational institutions have been used under similar conditions. Finally, interviews with the main political actors in Cyprus have been conducted to assess whether the Annan Plan is likely to contribute to the accommodation of ethnic diversity. The argument is that creating and maintaining a multi-ethnic federal system depends on context, on the motivations of the parties involved, and in the details of the autonomy arrangements. The conditions under which federalism diminishes ethnic conflict depend on the interaction between federal institutions, regional inequality, and ethnic diversity in a society. The analysis shows that the federal model envisaged in the Plan is less likely to be suitable for Cyprus, not merely because of the lack of preconditions but also because the designed institutions in the Plan that do not address the social, economic, political and demographic characteristics of the society.

description: Introdução: As tecnologias disruptivas interrompem e redefinem a trajetória de um mercado ou de produtos e serviços, além de, geralmente, apresentarem menores preços, serem mais simples de utilizar e mais convenientes, a exemplo das Fintechs. Embora traga benefícios para instituições financeiras e clientes, a adoção das novas tecnologias no mercado financeiro é um desafio, pois ainda há uma relutância em certa parcela de clientes em adotá-las, uma vez que dimensões cognitivas, comportamentais e de personalidade têm impacto na decisão de fazê-lo, o que a torna mais complexa. A busca pelo entendimento de antecedentes cognitivos na aceitação de novas tecnologias está ligada à teoria social cognitiva, ou teoria cognitiva, que preconiza que o indivíduo aprende por meio de interações com outros indivíduos, em determinado contexto social. Objetivos: Criar e testar um modelo de mensuração da influência dos preditores cognitivos de adoção e uso de novas tecnologias no mercado financeiro, a exemplo de Fintechs. Métodos: Foram entrevistadas 718 pessoas, todas acima de 18 anos, por meio do MTurk. Os dados foram tratados estatisticamente por meio da modelagem de equações estruturais (SEM), com o PLS 3.0. Resultados: A construção do modelo TAMBIE permitiu apresentar os construtos significativos para a adoção de novas tecnologias no mercado financeiro, como: há preditores, embasados pela literatura e comprovados por evidências de pesquisa científica, que influenciam Benefícios e Sacrifícios Percebidos, que influenciam o Valor Percebido, que, por sua vez, influencia a intenção de uso. A experiência anterior com tecnologia é o preditor com maior influência em Benefícios Percebidos; em relação aos antecedentes cognitivos, o fator idade é o que mais influencia os benefícios percebidos. Por fim, o modelo TAMBIE explica 47,9% da Intenção de Uso. Contribuições: Este estudo buscou avançar quanto a aplicação empírica sobre modelos de aceitação de tecnologia, melhorando a compreensão sobre posicionamentos existentes na teoria enfatizando o uso de variáveis relacionadas a dimensão cognitiva. Os resultados apontaram para fatores que influenciam a intenção dos clientes de adotar tecnologias financeiras e indica novos estudos complementares com o modelo TAMBIE proposto e validado.

description: Ambitious climate mitigation policies face social and political resistance. One reason is that existing policies insufficiently capture the diversity of relevant insights from the social sciences about potential policy outcomes. We argue that agent-based models can serve as a powerful tool for integration of elements from different disciplines. Having such a common platform will enable a more complete assessment of climate policies, in terms of criteria like effectiveness, equity and public support.

description: Recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) is a well established method of nonlinear data analysis. In this work, we present a new strategy for an almost parameter-free RQA. The approach finally omits the choice of the threshold parameter by calculating the RQA measures for a range of thresholds (in fact recurrence rates). Specifically, we test the ability of the RQA measure determinism, to sort data with respect to their signal to noise ratios. We consider a periodic signal, simple chaotic logistic equation, and Lorenz system in the tested data set with different and even very small signal-to-noise ratios of lengths 10 2, 10 3, 10 4, and 10 5. To make the calculations possible, a new effective algorithm was developed for streamlining of the numerical operations on graphics processing unit (GPU).
