description: In the last few decades, there has been a dramatic uptick in the issues related to protecting user privacy in released data, both in statistical databases and anonymized records. Privacy-preserving data publishing is a field established to handle these releases while avoiding the problems that plagued many earlier attempts. This issue is of particular importance for governmental data, where both the release and the privacy requirements are frequently governed by legislature (e.g., HIPAA, FERPA, Clery Act). This problem is doubly compounded by the complex survey methods employed to counter problems in data collection. The preeminent definition for privacy is that of differential privacy, which protects users by limiting the impact that any individual can have on the result of any query.

The thesis proposes models for differentially private versions of current survey methodologies and, discusses the evaluation of those models. We focus on the issues of missing data and weighting which are common techniques employed in complex surveys to counter problems with sampling and response rates. First we propose a model for answering queries on datasets with missing data while maintaining differential privacy. Our model uses k-Nearest Neighbor imputation to replicate donor values while protecting the privacy of the donor. Our model provides significantly better bias reduction in realistic experiments using existing data, as well as providing less noise than a naive solution. Our second model proposes a method of performing Iterative Proportional Fitting (IPF) in a differentially private manner, a common technique used to ensure that survey records are weighted consistently with known values. We also focus on the general philosophical need to incorporate privacy when creating new survey methodologies, rather than assuming that privacy can simply be added at a later step.

description: In constructing online alternative finance instruments as a new form of financial democratization and financial inclusion, this article aims at verifying the presence of similarity effect in equity crowdfunding investments. Discussion focuses on ethnic and gender similarity between the seekers and investors that sustained the project. Our analysis is based on 5,996 personal investors that have participated in 81 equity crowdfunding campaigns, on Crowdcube, a British equity crowdfunding platform from 2011 and 2016. Results show that in equity crowdfunding gender and ethnic similarities play different role based on investors? characteristics - gender, ethnicity and the combination of two. In particular, ethnic similarity positively influence the level of amount invested by both female and male investors belonging to an ethnic minority. Even if female investors tend to prefer male company, their preference changes if a female proponent belonging to an ethnic minority runs the company. From a practical perspective, our findings shed new light on how individual characteristics can be important factor in financing situations. Results allow entrepreneurs and equity crowdfunding platforms to understand better potential investor behaviour and highlights the role of equity crowdfunding as tool for minorities? financial inclusion and women entrepreneur empowerment.

description: A fairly extensive literature from the field of empirical psychology has provided evidence that personality factors and attitudes toward credit may influence individuals' debt financing decisions. This paper investigates the importance of these factors by analysing the results of an original survey about the recourse to consumer credit, conducted on a wide sample of Italian households. Three main research questions are addressed. Is there any relationship between personality, attitude and recourse to consumer credit? Are there any differences in psychological profiles of credit users and non-users that can be associated with the motivations for using consumer credit? Does the psychological profile affect the preferred way of financing consumption? According to our analyses, the influence of psychological factors on consumer credit decisions cannot be rejected. Attitudes toward debt appear to play an important role and are significantly related to motivations for using credit and to the preferred form of financing. Personality factors do not emerge as having a clearcut effect on the decision to taking on debt. While this is in line with some previous research findings, when personality's features make a difference this is in the opposite direction of what is commonly found, as more fatalistic individuals are less likely to use consumer credit.

Behind the success of dominated personal pension plans: sales force and financial literacy factors

description: The revealed preference for dominated insurance-based personal pension plans in Italy is a decade-long puzzle. I surmise that a motivation from the supply side is a sales force factor deriving from the geographical distribution of financial providers, including the countrywide network of the state controlled Post Office. I provide supporting evidence using three biennial waves of the Bank of Italy?s survey on household finances from 2010 to 2014. The time interval includes a public pension system reform sharply raising the statutory age retirement, legislated in December 2011 to defuse a sovereign debt crisis. I show that the salience effect on the awareness of the benefits of supplementing lower perspective public pensions with personal pension plans strengthened the explanatory power of financial strength indicators. Exploiting a module in the 2010 wave I estimate a surprising decrease in the probability of subscription to personal pension plans in 2014 associated to the indicator for the highest financial literacy level.

Intelligent Device Selection in Federated Edge Learning with Energy Efficiency

Distributed computing and systems software not elsewhere classified

description: Due to the increasing demand from mobile devices for the real-time response of cloud computing services, federated edge learning (FEL) emerges as a new computing paradigm, which utilizes edge devices to achieve efficient machine learning while protecting their data privacy. Implementing efficient FEL suffers from the challenges of devices' limited computing and communication resources, as well as unevenly distributed datasets, which inspires several existing research focusing on device selection to optimize time consumption and data diversity. However, these studies fail to consider the energy consumption of edge devices given their limited power supply, which can seriously affect the cost-efficiency of FEL with unexpected device dropouts.
To fill this gap, we propose a device selection model capturing both energy consumption and data diversity optimization, under the constraints of time consumption and training data amount. Then we solve the optimization problem by reformulating the original model and designing a novel algorithm, named E2DS, to reduce the time complexity greatly. By comparing with two classical FEL schemes, we validate the superiority of our proposed device selection mechanism for FEL with extensive experimental results. Furthermore, for each device in a real FEL environment, it is the fact that multiple tasks will occupy the CPU at the same time, so the frequency of the CPU used for training fluctuates all the time, which may lead to large errors in computing energy consumption. To solve this problem, we deploy reinforcement learning to learn the frequency so as to approach real value. And compared to increasing data diversity, we consider a more direct way to improve the convergence speed using loss values. Then we formulate the optimization problem that minimizes the energy consumption and maximizes the loss values to select the appropriate set of devices. After reformulating the problem, we design a new algorithm FCE2DS as the solution to have better performance on convergence speed and accuracy. Finally, we compare the performance of this proposed scheme with the previous scheme and the traditional scheme to verify the improvement of the proposed scheme in multiple aspects.

description: This paper aims at estimating the costs of the current crisis in terms of income distribution and poverty taking into account - by means of microsimulation techniques - the change in employment status in Spain and Italy. We construct a micro simulation analysis on the impact of the crisis on unemployment, household income, and inequality using the European Statistics on Income and Living Conditions Surveys, and Labour Force Surveys data for Italy and Spain with reference to different types of households. We consider the effect of joblessness on household income and well-being and the impact of different systems of unemployment benefit on unemployment sustainability. Our focus is not only on the pecuniary dimension of well-being, but also in terms of the costs of limited access to medical and dental treatment and analyses.JEL Codes: I32, J6, J65

The Term Structure of Capital Values: An Accounting-Based Framework for Measuring Economic Profitability
Creators: name: MAGNI, Carlo Alberto
Publisher: name: Dipartimento di Economia Marco Biagi - Universit� di Modena e Reggio Emilia
Year: 2015

description: This paper shows how the outputs of the accounting measurement process can be translated into terms that can be used in economic decisions. We introduce the notion of Term Structure of Capital Values (TSCV), uniquely associated to a Term Structure of Interest Rates (TSIR). We show that the state of temporary disequilibrium created by an asset (project, firm, etc.) introduced in a market can be described in terms of a pair of internal TSCV and TSIR. Any internal TSCV determines a specific depreciation schedule for the asset and the corresponding TSIR determines an economic rate of return obtained as a capital-weighted average of the Return On Assets collected in the TSIR. The difference between this economic rate of return and the overall equilibrium rate (itself an average of the equilibrium forward rates) correctly captures value creation. The determination of a specific (internal) TSCV depends on the way the market sweeps away arbitrage opportunities and restores the equilibrium. As each possible accounting system can be viewed as being associated with a corresponding disequilibrium-to-equilibrium process and therefore with a corresponding economic rate of return, the paper shows that the determination of an economic rate of return is both a matter of accounting (in terms of a specific internal TSCV) and a matter of finance (in terms of a specific disequilibrium-to-equilibrium process). This evidently calls for a theory of capital valuation capable of associating the proper TSCV with each asset so that the intrinsic underdetermination of the economic rate of return can be solved.

Investment, financing and the role of ROA and WACC in value creation
Creators: name: MAGNI, Carlo Alberto
Publisher: name: Dipartimento di Economia Marco Biagi - Universit� di Modena e Reggio Emilia
Year: 2015

description: Evaluating an industrial opportunity often means to engage in financial modelling which results in estimation of a large amount of economic and accounting data, which are then gathered in an economically rational framework: the pro forma financial statements. While the standard net present value (NPV) condenses all the available pieces of information into a single metric, we make full use of the crucial information supplied in the pro forma financial statements and give a more detailed account of how economic value is created. In particular, we construct a general model, allowing for varying interest rates, which decomposes the project into investment side and financing side and quantifies the value created by either side; an equity/debt decomposition is also accomplished, which enables to appreciate the role of debt in adding or subtracting value to equityholders. Further, the major role of accounting rates of return as value drivers is highlighted, and new relative measures of worth are introduced: the project ROA and the project WACC, which aggregate information deriving from the period rates of return. To achieve these results, we make use of the Average-Internal-Rate-of-Return (AIRR) approach, recently introduced, which rests on capital-weighted arithmetic means and sets a direct relation between holding period rates and NPV.

description: L?articolo presenta i risultati di una ricerca che scaturisce da una riflessione sulle carenze delle politiche del lavoro e dell?occupazione basate sulla flexicurity, specialmente nel contesto della crisi. Il focus � sugli schemi e i programmi di welfare aziendale attuati in Europa tramite il dialogo sociale. I dati sono stati raccolti mediante l?esame della letteratura e di altre fonti secondarie, l?analisi diretta dei testi contrattuali, e lo studio in profondit� di casi di impresa, e riguardano in particolare le esperienze di dialogo sociale e contrattazione collettiva attuate in Bulgaria, Estonia, Ungheria, Italia, Spagna e Svezia. Il welfare aziendale � concettualizzato in modo ampio, cos� da includere non solo l?erogazione di servizi o prestazioni economiche, ma anche gli interventi sull?organizzazione. In tale prospettiva, esso si configura come ambito di intervento che apre nuove spazi di azione al dialogo sociale e alla contrattazione collettiva per l?attuazione di soluzioni di regolazione giuridica-organizzativa ?a somma positiva?, cio� capaci di soddisfare sia le esigenze di competitivit� aziendale che le istanze individuali di qualit� del lavoro e di conciliazione vita-lavoro. I risultati prodotti arricchiscono le conoscenze sullo stato dell?arte delle prassi di welfare aziendale in diversi sistemi di relazioni industriali in Europa. Nelle esperienze esaminate il welfare opera come elemento di uno scambio contrattuale che contempla, a guisa di controprestazione, l?accettazione da parte dei lavoratori di vincoli di flessibilit� e di produttivit� intesi a soddisfare l?interesse dell?impresa; non, quindi, come parte di una strategia negoziale a somma positiva mirata ad intervenire sull?organizzazione al fine di configurare condizioni di lavoro atte a soddisfare simultaneamente le esigenze di competitivit� di lungo periodo e quelle personali. Su queste basi, il contributo si conclude evidenziando alcune condizioni che potrebbero favorire l?implementazione di pratiche di welfare aziendali in linea con un approccio alla competitivit� di tipo ?high road?.

description: Why does our world exhibit its current state rather than any other form? What factors shape the current condition of human society and the formation, development, and transformation of various industries? A deeper analysis reveals that the foundational basis of human society lies in the concept of "teaching." Here, "teaching" refers to a belief system comprising diverse types. These types interact, interweave, and exert complex influences, thereby forming a belief system where truth and falsehood, as well as reality and illusion, are difficult to discern. This interpenetration and entanglement may lead individuals to confusion and disorder, potentially resulting in cognitive errors. At the organizational or group level, it may cause the entire organization to experience similar confusion and chaos, and even lead to deviations from the original teachings and ideological concepts, moving in a direction contrary to its intended purpose.
Religion represents only one form of belief systems. Belief can be defined as the recognition, adherence, and alignment with a specific individual, object, or consciousness (including human consciousness and natural consciousness). Beliefs can be categorized into various types, and individuals may exhibit differing attitudes toward them, such as unwavering loyalty, partial acceptance, or shifting allegiance. These diverse beliefs collectively form distinct belief systems, which are often embodied in the concept of "teachings." While "teachings" are frequently associated with religion, they encompass a broader range of categories. The roles and influences of these different categories of "teachings" on the development of human society vary significantly. The various organizations and industry classifications within human society stem from the effects of these distinct belief systems. By examining the types of "teachings" and their developmental patterns, we can systematically understand how they shape the core characteristics (i.e., industry genes) and future trajectories (i.e., industry destinies) of various industries.
ELECTRIC FIELD SENSING USING SINGLE SPIN MAGNET HYBRID SYSTEM

description: Quantum sensing, a protocol that takes advantage of the extreme sensitivity of quantum systems to their environment, enables many applications of quantum systems for sensing. Inspired by direct electric field sensing using the Stark effect of a nitrogen-vacancy(NV) center, this work implements an NV-magnet hybrid way to explore the possibilities of overcoming NV’s relatively weak coupling strength to electric fields. The magnetic-noise-induced population relaxation of the NV center serves as the mechanism for sensing. Within this scheme, the magnetic noise spectrum is tuned by modulating the magnetic properties via voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy (VCMA) or electric-field-induced magnetoelastic effect. In this way, the noise carrying the information of the electric field is taken as a signal - the shift of the noise spectrum leads to a population difference of NV energy levels, which is used for evaluating electric fields. The investigation of the relation between sensitivities and operation points reveals that lower operation frequency is desirable for better performance. The comparison between VCMA and electric-field-induced magnetoelastic effect indicates that the efficiency of converting electric field into magnetic property modulation is a critical parameter for sensitivity enhancement.

DEVELOPMENT OF A LASER LIFETIME PRESSURE-SENSITIVE PAINT METHOD FOR TURBINE ANALYSIS
Creators: name: Aye-Addo, Papa Aye Nyansafo
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2021
Subjects: Aerospace engineering not elsewhere classified

description: To increase overall aircraft engine efficiency, the diameter of the high-pressure turbine is reduced, leading to low aspect ratio airfoils. Secondary flow dominates in these low aspect ratio turbines, and the small airfoil geometry inhibits flush-mounted, full-spatial dynamic pressure measurements with pressure transducers. Airfoil surface pressure measurements are vital to understanding the inherently unsteady flow phenomena in turbines. Additionally, aerodynamic performance data derived from high-resolution surface pressure measurements provide invaluable data for validating computational fluid dynamics codes used for prediction. Non-intrusive measurement techniques such as fast-responding Pressure Sensitive Paint (PSP) offer a potential solution of a full-field optical measurement of surface pressure fluctuation, with each camera pixel representing a sensor. The porous binder improves the dynamic response of PSP, making it suitable for unsteady flow environments such as turbomachinery applications. In this view, the overall objective of the current doctoral research is to develop a lifetime PSP method using laser-based excitation for surface pressure measurement on a new class of high-pressure turbines. The overall research goal was subdivided into three main strategies. (1) A pulse lifetime calibration procedure of a porous polymer/ceramic binder PSP was developed in a pressure-controlled chamber to assess the correlation between pressure and time-resolved luminescent lifetime, pressure sensitivity, and signal-to-noise ratio. (2) The lifetime technique was implemented for surface pressure measurements in a linear test section to measure high spatial pressure gradients and resolve unsteady flow features. A data reduction routine and an optimal binning bundle of pixels were proposed for calibration analysis to reduce the overall pressure uncertainty. Uncertainty quantification and sensitivity analysis were also completed to determine the parameters with a substantial effect on the pressure uncertainty. (3) The pulse lifetime method was demonstrated on a high-pressure turbine vane suction surface at engine representative conditions. The surface pressure data were corroborated with static pressure tappings and computational simulations. This research effort provided new insights into time-resolved luminescent lifetime PSP techniques. Steady and unsteady flow features from surface pressure measurements were identified using a precise calibration method. The lifetime pulse method was effective in a high-pressure turbine flow field, paving the way for back-to-back PSP experiments with different turbine geometries.

Well-being Gender Budgets: Italian Local Governments Cases

description: This paper implements the methodological tools developed at regional and local governments level on gender budgets, using Sen and Nussbaum capability approach to design Well-Being Gender Budgets (WBGB). Following the methods first discussed in Addabbo, Lanzi and Picchio ?On Sustainable Human Development: Gender Auditing in a Capability Approach? (2004), the framework used in this paper is an extended reproductive well-being macro approach that includes unpaid work, focuses on gender inequalities in well-being, and uses an analytical perspective which places the process of social reproduction of the population among the structural processes of the economic system and as a fundamental condition of its sustainability.The paper is divided into four sections. After the Introduction, in the first section the perspective and method of WBGB are presented. In the second, the recent experiences of WBGB adopted in Italy at provincial district and regional level are introduced and the Italian local governments institutional context is presented. In the third, a list of capabilities, based on the administrative structure of the local governments adopting the gender budget, is proposed. In fact, the structure of the different Departments (Health, Education, Transports, etc.) is seen as the result of an historical assumption of public responsibility towards specific dimensions of residents? well-being, such as: being healthy, educated, mobile in the territory, carer of others, etc.. The context analysis is then designed to provide empirical information on a set of effective functionings that areused to assess gender inequalities in a specific well-being domain.In the fourth section, new tools (capabilities matrices) are introduced, drawn to help public policy actors to become aware of the implications of their choices on the multidimensional well-being of the women and men living in their territory. Moreover, some examples of budgeting monetary resources, taking into account well-being policy objectives are illustrated, with particular reference to the Piedmont Region and the Rome Provincial District.The results of different Italian local-government experiments in WBGB are proposed to share a different way of approaching the assessment of the gender impact of public policies and to open a discussion on their pros and cons. We think that their tools could become a key to policy integration and a basis for social participation in a public reasoning process on well-being, but they need to be discussed in a wider forum, and the possibility of their application to other countries and at different government levels also needs to be discussed.

Liquid Propellant Positioning and Control in Example Propellant Tank

description: Two topics relating to low gravity fluid behavior in satellite propellant tanks are considered. In the first, static case, the problem of liquid trapping is examined. Satellite propellant tank end caps optimized for weight are generally shallower and more oblate than hemispherical end caps of the same radius. However, these shallower end caps pose an interesting challenge for propellant management. In the absence of vanes, it is possible for liquid propellant to be trapped in the tank and become unusable. Understanding of how propellant tends to distribute itself in the bare, vaneless tank can be used to drive vane design to counteract these tendencies and ensure propellant remains where desired. The first section of this thesis aims to demonstrate methods that can be used to identify when, how, and why liquid trapping occurs in a given tank geometry. A fluid statics code called Surface Evolver is used to calculate possible fluid configurations for different propellant volumes, contact angles, and end cap designs. The specific case of a cylindrical tank with 2:1 ellipsoidal end caps is studied extensively for ranges of fill fractions and contact angles to illustrate the methods used. Results are computed for each possible propellant configuration: a spherical liquid-gas interface, an asymmetric liquid-gas interface, and a liquid ring. Analytical solutions are found and compared against Surface Evolver results for the spherical liquid-gas interface and liquid ring, showing excellent agreement. Results are also found for other aspect ratio ellipsoidal end caps, superellipsoidal end caps, and torispherical end caps. Each non-hemispherical dome design is found to be able to trap liquid away from the axis of the tank regardless of contact angle. The second part of this thesis, focusing on the dynamic case, details the development of an experimental payload designed to fly on Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo. This experiment is designed to obtain data on sloshing behavior of liquids in microgravity in response to rotation. The payload contains eight scaled down propellant tanks that are rotated while in microgravity, and the resulting slosh is recorded by video cameras inside the payload. The video will be analyzed after the experiment to extract data on damping rates and potentially positional data of the liquid-gas interface. The impact of constraints on the design of the overall experiment are discussed. The purpose of each component in the experiment is explained and justified relative to the design constraints. The remaining work that must be completed before flight on SpaceShipTwo is reviewed, highlighting the most significant unknowns.
The unavoidable persistence of forum shopping in the Insolvency Regulation

description: One of the goals of the EU Insolvency Regulation, confirmed by recent reform proposals developed by the European Parliament and the Commission, is to limit forum shopping. The real world, however, looks quite different, as insolvency forum shopping is increasingly common in the EU. As is well known, pursuant to the Insolvency Regulation the Member State of a debtor?s centre of main interests (?COMI?) is competent to govern its main insolvency proceeding with universal effects; additionally, companies? COMI is presumed to coincide with their registered office, unless the contrary is proven. Pursuant to ECJ case law, the reference date to assess the insolvency competence is the date of the filing, with the consequence that, if a company relocates its registered office abroad before filing for insolvency, the new jurisdiction becomes competent to govern its insolvency, unless creditors prove that the COMI is still in the original State. However, the presumption that the COMI coincides with the registered office can not be rebutted if a company actually relocates its headquarter alongside its registered office in a way ascertainable by third parties. Creditors? protection against opportunistic forum shopping, therefore, relies only upon the criterion that a company?s COMI must be ascertainable by third parties. This criterion, however, as applied by Member States? case law and the ECJ, does not take into account the viewpoint of pre-existing creditors: If a company relocates headquarter alongside its registered office and makes this transfer public and ?ascertainable? for future potential creditors, no evidence whatsoever can be provided that its COMI is still in the State of origin. Forum shopping, therefore, has become an unavoidable component of EU insolvency law.

description: Emigrant associations abroad are nodal points of social networks; they are manifestations of a transnational social capital. Italian associations are numerous, spread across several countries, in some cases they exist since the end of the nineteenth century, and may count on high numbers of members. Also, they are robustly tied to the home country. This paper assesses the effects of Italian associations abroad on the bilateral FDI between Italy and the countries of settlement of Italian diaspora. The main results are that these effects are positive and strongly significant, especially for the inward FDI and relatively to the countries with the oldest associations.
