description: O interesse público é o coração do direito público, desfrutando de proteção diferenciada conferida pelo ordenamento jurídico. Como aduz Marçal Justen Filho, um interesse deixa de ser privado e se transmuta em público quando seu atendimento não puder ser objeto de transigência, pois as regras não podem ser como iguais dos interesses individuais. Segundo o autor, “modernamente, o conceito de interesse público não se constrói a partir da impossibilidade técnica de os particulares satisfazerem requerentes individuais, mas pela afirmação da impossibilidade ética de deixar de atendêlos".
An Analysis of English Law in Referring Disputants to Consensual ADR Methods
Creators: name: Abbasy, Md Mahar
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is increasingly successful in settling civil disputes outside court. ADR is often cost-effective and quicker than litigation, but it remains underused in England and Wales. This is a significant issue as litigation becomes increasingly expensive and funding options are limited. More importantly, the majority of the cases that come to court are of small value, and in many of these cases, individuals (especially Litigants in Person) are not well informed about the alternative dispute resolution options and those who use them usually have higher satisfaction. This thesis thus analyses English laws that are in place to refer disputants to consensual ADR. In doing so, it seeks to identify the reasons behind the low uptake and looks for ways to promote ADR in suitable cases. While encouragement to ADR through education and facilitation is the most favoured policy option in England and Wales to promote ADR, the option to use compulsion to undertake ADR is the most debated option, but there is strong resistance among the judiciary and the policymakers. Nonetheless, both the judiciary and policymakers speak favourably about ADR, and some measures have been introduced, notably mandatory family Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM), employees’ mandatory notification to ACAS, mandatory sectoral Consumer ADR schemes and the new Online Civil Money Claim are the significant ones. There is not enough in-depth analysis of these measures to show how far these initiatives have been successful in increasing the uptake of ADR. Therefore, this study seeks to fill this gap by carrying out an analysis of these measures and comparing them when appropriate to identify best practices and makes recommendations for reform. Importantly, this study critically examines how ADR is being embedded into the English civil justice system and argues for a balanced relationship between litigation and ADR because they complement each other.

On the connection between the conjugate gradient method and quasi-Newton methods on quadratic problems
Creators: name: Forsgren, Anders

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014

subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: It is well known that the conjugate gradient method and a quasi-Newton method, using any well-defined update matrix from the one-parameter Broyden family of updates, produce identical iterates on a quadratic problem with positive-definite Hessian. This equivalence does not hold for any quasi-Newton method. We define precisely the conditions on the update matrix in the quasi-Newton method that give rise to this behavior. We show that the crucial facts are, that the range of each update matrix lies in the last two dimensions of the Krylov subspaces defined by the conjugate gradient method and that the quasi-Newton condition is satisfied. In the framework based on a sufficient condition to obtain mutually conjugate search directions, we show that the one-parameter Broyden family is complete. A one-to-one correspondence between the Broyden parameter and the non-zero scaling of the search direction obtained from the corresponding quasi-Newton method compared to the one obtained in the conjugate gradient method is derived. In addition, we show that the update matrices from the one-parameter Broyden family are almost always well-defined on a quadratic problem with positive-definite Hessian. The only exception is when the symmetric rank-one update is used and the unit steplength is taken in the same iteration. In this case it is the Broyden parameter that becomes undefined.

description: In this paper, we investigate the Cauchy problem for both linear and semi-linear elliptic equations. In general, the equations have the form \[ \frac{\partial^{2}}{\partial t^{2}}u\left(t\right)=\mathcal{A}u\left(t\right)+f\left(t,u\left(t\right)\right),\quad t\in\left[0,T\right], \] where $\mathcal{A}$ is a positive-definite, self-adjoint operator with compact inverse. As we know, these problems are well-known to be ill-posed. On account of the orthonormal eigenbasis and the corresponding eigenvalues related to the operator, the method of separation of variables is used to show the solution in series representation. Thereby, we propose a modified method and show error estimations in many accepted cases. For illustration, two numerical examples, a modified Helmholtz equation and an elliptic sine-Gordon equation, are constructed to demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed method.

description: Plasmonics has established itself as a branch of physics which promises to revolutionize data processing, improve photovoltaics, increase sensitivity of bio-detection. A widespread use of plasmonic devices is notably hindered (in addition to high losses) by the absence of stable and inexpensive metal films suitable for plasmonic applications. This may seem surprising given the number of metal compounds to choose from. Unfortunately, most of them either exhibit a strong damping of surface plasmons or easily oxidize and corrode. To this end, there has been continuous search for alternative plasmonic materials that are, unlike gold, the current metal of choice in plasmonics, compatible with complementary metal oxide semiconductor technology. Here we show that copper and silver protected by graphene are viable candidates. Copper films covered with one to a few graphene layers show excellent plasmonics characteristics surpassing those of gold films. They can be used to fabricate plasmonic devices and survive for at least a year, even in wet and corroding conditions. As a proof of concept, we use the graphene-protected copper to demonstrate dielectric loaded plasmonic waveguides and test sensitivity of surface plasmon resonances. Our results are likely to initiate a wide use of graphene-protected plasmonics.

description: Few analytical methods exist for quantitative studies of large fluctuations in stochastic systems. In this article, we develop a simple diagrammatic approach to the Chemical Master Equation that allows us to calculate multi-time correlation functions which are accurate to a any desired order in van Kampen's system size expansion. Specifically, we present a set of Feynman rules from which this diagrammatic perturbation expansion can be constructed algorithmically. We then apply the methodology to derive in closed form the leading order corrections to the linear noise approximation of the intrinsic noise power spectrum for general biochemical reaction networks. Finally, we illustrate our results by describing noise-induced oscillations in the Brusselator reaction scheme which are not captured by the common linear noise approximation.

Kernel Tuner tutorial at SURF

Year: 2022

description: Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) have revolutionized the HPC landscape. The first generation of exascale supercomputers is currently being built, and most of these systems will have GPUs as their main computing platform. The performance of GPU applications strongly depends on how the software has been optimized for the hardware. There are many different implementations and code optimizations to consider that can also be parameterized, creating vast search spaces that are infeasible to search by hand. As such, automated performance tuning (auto-tuning) techniques are crucial to optimize such applications. In this tutorial, you will learn how to use Kernel Tuner, an easy-to-use tool for auto-tuning GPU code using simple Python scripts. Kernel Tuner supports OpenCL, CUDA, C++, and Fortran. We take a step-by-step approach to explain the auto-tuning basics, building up to more complex search spaces with many tunable parameters and inter-dependencies. We cover a wide range of topics from the basics of GPU code optimization, to using advanced search space optimization strategies to accelerate the auto-tuning process. Participants are welcome to bring their own code for the exercises, but we also provide plenty of code examples. Participants can use Jupyter Notebooks and Google Colab, or their own computing platform.
How do nurses in the acute surgical setting make sense of the care that they provide?
Creators: name: Healy, Raymond
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 2022

description: Introduction – This study seeks to explore how nurses sensemake the reality of the care they provide, including understanding the influences on how they make sense of their care. Few studies have explored how nurses sensemake the care they provide, focusing instead on how nurses understand, plan and deliver their care. Methodology – The study uses ethnomethodology to explicate how members of a particular social group, nurses in an acute hospital ward, create and maintain a sense of order in social life and how they shape, construct, and maintain their everyday worlds. To gain greater insight into the practice of caring, Sensemaking Theory (Weick, 1997) influenced the data analysis, discussion and understanding. Data collection was carried out in two surgical wards in an acute hospital, to triangulate different constructions of reality and generate a broader understanding. Methods used were the shadowing of eight nursing shifts, followed by semi-structured interviews with six registered nurses and a review of the nursing section of the hospital’s Electronic Patient Record (EPR) system. Data analysis was an iterative process, with the data collected from each phase coded to identify the key areas of understanding. Findings – The main finding is that nurses do not have one single understanding of nursing care. Instead, they construct and maintain multiple realities of care to give structure to how they deliver care. This finding suggests that nurses move seamlessly and unknowingly through these realities; this is supported by their use of specific language that they can effortlessly adopt. Dual processes of care were also identified, namely the activities involved in meeting a patient’s care needs alongside a parallel process of delivering care the nurse needs to provide. The exploration of the EPR found that the full complexity of nursing care was not appreciated or captured. In addition, the language used by nurses to create and maintain their realities was influenced by the EPR Conclusion – In appreciating the complexity of the realities of nursing care, this study has shown that nurses construct and maintain multiple realities; and that nurses have not been adequately prepared to manage these multiple realities in practice. Policy needs to reflect the work involved in managing these different realities in order to capture the quantum of nursing care required. Without this appreciation, nurses will remain ill prepared and attempts to determine the resource required will fail to reflect the complexity of care that nurses provide. Workforce planning and staffing calculation are based on a single reality, therefore underappreciating the impact and value of nursing care. The EPR focuses on capturing the physical interventions of care, and this caused frustration for the nurses using it

description: Several cities and towns in Nigeria are faced with flooding problems emanating from the effects of climate change, urbanization and population growth. This challenge is more critical in some parts of Lokoja and Kogi local government area of Kogi state, given the recent flooding scenarios witnessed in parts of the two local government.. The floods that occurred during these periods were occasioned by high rainfall intensity coupled with inadequate drainage system. The study addresses the urban flood management and planning using Lokoja and Kogi L.G.A of kogi state, As a Case Study. A survey research method was adopted. Both qualitative and quantitative data collection methods were used. Collection of quantitative data was through oral interview and non-participant observation while quantitative data was collected using unstructured questionnaire and secondary sources such as books and journal articles. The urban flood management and planning shows that the low lying areas that border rivers in both Local Governments bed streams and their tributaries are highly affected by the hazardous flood events. Except for some parts of the areas in Lokoja and Kogi Local Government Area Most of the people living in Lokoja and Koton- Karfe are highly vulnerable to flood hazard. The assessment reveals that the municipality of the Lokoja/Kogi is more vulnerable than the municipality of Lokoja/Kogi inner town.

Damit dies gelingt, ist eine bereits vorhandene Beziehung zu den Schüler_innen wichtig. Der Frage nach der Beziehung zwischen der schulischen Heilpädagogin oder des Heilpädagogen und den Schüler_innen der Regelklasse geht diese Arbeit nach. Es ist dabei klar, dass verschiedene Faktoren einen Einfluss auf die Beziehung zwischen Lehrpersonen und Schüler_innen haben. Einer dieser Faktoren ist die Kooperation zwischen der Lehrperson und der heilpädagogischen Fachkraft. Die vorliegende Arbeit hat durch die Befragung von zehn Schulklassen inklusive schulischer Heilpädagog_in und Regelklassenlehrperson mittels Fragebogen versucht herauszufinden, ob in Klassen mit hohem Kooperationsverhalten der beiden beteiligten Lehrkräfte eine gute Beziehung zwischen der heilpädagogischer Fachkraft und den Schüler_innen herrscht und ob sich bestimmen lässt, welche Faktoren der Kooperation besonders für eine positive Beziehung zu den Schüler_innen verantwortlich sind. Dabei wurde festgestellt, dass sowohl Beziehung wie auch Kooperation zwei sehr komplexe Systeme sind, deren Untersuchung und Reduktion auf direkte Zusammenhänge sehr schwierig ist

description: Bipartite ranking aims to learn a real-valued ranking function that orders positive instances before negative instances. Recent efforts of bipartite ranking are focused on optimizing ranking accuracy at the top of the ranked list. Most existing approaches are either to optimize task specific metrics or to extend the ranking loss by emphasizing more on the error associated with the top ranked instances, leading to a high computational cost that is super-linear in the number of training instances. We propose a highly efficient approach, titled TopPush, for optimizing accuracy at the top that has computational complexity linear in the number of training instances. We present a novel analysis that bounds the generalization error for the top ranked instances for the proposed approach. Empirical study shows that the proposed approach is highly competitive to the state-of-the-art approaches and is 10-100 times faster.

description: The main goal of this paper is to characterise all the possible Cesàro and $L$-asymptotic limits of powerbounded, complex matrices. The investigation of the $L$-asymptotic limit of a powerbounded operator goes back to Sz.-Nagy and it shows how the orbit of a vector behaves with respect to the powers. It turns out that the two types of asymptotic limits coincide for every powerbounded matrix and a special case is connected to the description of the products $SS^*$ where $S$ runs through those invertible matrices which have unit columnvectors. We also show that for any powerbounded operator acting on an arbitrary complex Hilbert space the norm of the $L$-asymptotic limit is greater than or equal to 1, unless it is zero; moreover, the same is true for the Cesàro asymptotic limit of a not necessarily powerbounded operator, if it exists.

description: Autonomous transportation is a research field that has gained huge interest in recent years, with autonomous electric or hydrogen cars coming ever closer to seeing everyday use. Not just cars are subject to autonomous research though, the field of aviation is also being explored for fully autonomous flight. One very important aspect for making autonomous flight a reality is attitude control, the control of roll, pitch, and sometimes yaw. Traditional approaches for automated attitude control use PID (proportional-integral-derivative) controllers, which use hand-tuned parameters to fulfill the task. In this work, however, the use of Reinforcement Learning algorithms for attitude control will be explored. With the surge of more and more powerful artificial neural networks, which have proven to be universally usable function approximators, Deep Reinforcement Learning also becomes an intriguing option. A software toolkit will be developed and used to allow for the use of multiple flight simulators to train agents with Reinforcement Learning as well as Deep Reinforcement Learning. Experiments will be run using different hyperparamters, algorithms, state representations, and reward functions to explore possible options for autonomous attitude control using Reinforcement Learning.

description: iHelp aims to early detect and mitigate the risks associated with Pancreatic Cancer applying advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based techniques to support the actors of the system. Those techniques are performed on historic data of cancer patients gathered from existing cohorts and biobanks. The models developed, through the AI-based learning techniques will be useful to identify the risk earlier, and to elaborate a mitigation plan.
 To this end, iHelp will use and extend the paradigm of Holistic Health Records (HHR) [1], in order to aggregate and re-use data needed by the Artificial Intelligence for developing their model. Several different sources will feed the common shared informative base, and for achieving this goal, a framework for the data ingestion will be provided for the pre-elaboration of different data in order to let it flow towards the shared data model.
 The purpose of this deliverable is to provide the consortium with a common high-level view about the whole solution. The details of each software artefact are delegated to the respective leader and will be described in the related deliverables.
 During the first months, the consortium had several virtual meetings to collect information and to agree about a common starting point for the architecture. After the first phase of coarse-grained data collection, some analysis was applied to design an efficient architecture based on the requirement emerged. Other refinement phases were performed regarding the design patterns to be implemented, provided and required interfaces, interconnections and protocols.
 The common agreement was reached about the general view, the platform will be constituted by containerised services, both from the data ingestion and the data analysis, with slightly differences explained in this document.
 The input of this deliverable was the D2.1 – State of the art and Requirements Analysis [2], that was analysed, and from which the needed components and interactions are identified.
 This deliverable is being released at M08 of the project, and it will be useful for the T2.3 – Functional and Non-Functional specifications for defining its purpose, and to all the technical partners as reference architecture for the whole iHelp solution.
 This is the first release of reference architecture; the second and final one will be released at M18: D2.5 - Conceptual model and reference architecture-II.

Non-Executive Directors and Corporate Strategy: Theory and Exploratory Empirical Insights from FTSE 350 Companies
Creators: name: Lisson, Muriel Claire
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 2022

description: The objective of this thesis is to provide exploratory, theoretical, and new empirical insights into Non-Executive Directors’ (NEDs) contribution to corporate strategy within London Stock Exchange’s largest 350 companies (FTSE 350), all of which have the same legal and regulatory duties. This research deploys an interpretivist philosophy, responding to four fundamental research questions, with appropriate ontological, epistemological, and axiological considerations surrounding NEDs’ corporate strategy oversight. This research uniquely applies the constructs of Institutional Theory in conjunction with Instrumental Stakeholder Theory, whilst the empirical examination of NEDs’ oversight contributions into corporate strategy capabilities is considered in terms of their constituents: ‘Shaping’, ‘Conducting’ and ‘Deciding’ appropriate strategies. The research itself employed a mixed-method, parallel-layered, theoretically informed, content and descriptive analysis, including cross-sectional financial data analysis performed during 2019-2020, targeting data covering FTSE 350 NEDs’ strategic oversight role. The theoretical and empirical research provides original and valuable insights into NED’s involvement in corporate strategy. Specifically, it produced no observable evidence of the existence of any Corporate Strategy Committees involving FTSE 350 NEDs. The explicit and implicit contributions to knowledge and policies arising from the research outcomes is the identification of a need for NEDs to show greater strategic leadership and become directly involved in a proposed Corporate Strategy Committee. This would afford the board greater strategic oversight to deliver more meaningful, measurable statements on the long-term sustainability of their company, i.e., over 5 to 10 years, within their Strategic Report. This research identifies the need for further research into theoretical and methodological issues relating to FTSE 350 NEDs’ strategic oversight role.

description: Há mais de dez anos, não sei precisar de dados, eclodia um dos muitos escândalos ligados aos programas de transferência de renda do Estado. Naquela oportunidade, uma auditoria demonstra a existência de inconsistências que permitem uma mesma pessoa receber mais de um benefício, afrontando a lógica do programa e também a ética que se espera de um cidadão de bem. Um amigo, grande professor, me contou de sua revolta com a situação e de sua disposição em contribuir. Contoume que um dos muitos serviços que sua empresa de tecnologia prestava era justamente identificar, de forma rápida e segura, essas inconsistências ligadas à existência de muitos cadastros de uma só pessoa.

description: We study the luminous mass as a function of the dynamical mass inside the effective radius (r_e) of early-type galaxies (ETGs) to search for differences between these masses. We assume Newtonian dynamics and that any difference between these masses is due to the presence of dark matter. We use several samples of ETGs -ranging from 19 000 to 98 000 objects- from the ninth data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We perform Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of galaxy samples and compare them with real samples. The main results are: i) MC simulations show that the distribution of the dynamical vs. luminous mass depends on the mass range where the ETGs are distributed (geometric effect). This dependence is caused by selection effects and intrinsic properties of the ETGs. ii) The amount of dark matter inside r_e is approximately 7% +- 22%. iii) This amount of dark matter is lower than the minimum estimate (10%) found in the literature and four times lower than the average (30%) of literature estimates. However, if we consider the associated error, our estimate is of the order of the literature average.

description: This paper proposes an extension of regression trees by quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO). Regression trees are very popular prediction models that are trainable with tabular datasets, but their accuracy is insufficient because the decision rules are too simple. The proposed method extends the decision rules in decision trees to multi-dimensional boundaries. Such an extension is generally unimplementable because of computational limitations, however, the proposed method transforms the training process to QUBO, which enables an annealing machine to solve this problem.

description: This article provides a novel framework to evaluate limit order tactics that highlights expected fill price, adverse price selection cost, and opportunity cost. We formulate the problem of optimal execution of market orders with nonlinear market impact, power law decay kernel, and stochastic and deterministic liquidity constraints. We demonstrate how these tactics can be incorporated in the uncertainty bands framework.
