Year: 1998

description: In this thesis, an 8-bit least mean squares (LMS) adaptive digital filter with 16 coefficients is implemented on a single FPGA, using the MaxPlus+2 design environment. The system is constructed as a hierarchical structure, using four different levels of design hierarchy. Subdesigns at each level of the hierarchy project are complied, fitted and simulated to test and verify their functional correctness. The complete system is tested and verified by checking the MaxPlus+2 simulator results against fixed-point integer arithmetic simulations written in Matlab. The resulting adaptive filter is subsequently mapped to the Alters FLEX I OK20TC144-3 device, resulting in a 14,500 gate equivalent circuit, with a minimum sampling interval of approximately 9.7us. Three curves that represent the relationship between the system parameters and the system performance are derived experimentally based on this approach and several modifications. These curves show that the relationship between equivalent gate count and the number of weights, N, is very similar to the relationship between equivalent gate count and the number of input bits, m. Results are also presented which describe the approximate relationship between the number of weights, N, and the resulting maximum sampling rate.

How do social and financial performance of microfinance institutions interact? A panel data study upon the MENA region (1998-2011)
Creators: name: Philippe Adair, Im�Ne Berguiga
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2014

description: The relationship between social performance (SP) and financial performance (FP) of microfinance institutions (MFIs) in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is a matter of substitution or complementarity. A panel data study (1998-2011) upon a sample of 64 MFIs in nine MENA countries examines both one-way and reciprocal dependency between SP and FP. We document the various determinants according to information transparency, credit methodology, status, the operating area of MFIs and their macroeconomic environment. Simultaneous equations models show that SP has a negative impact upon FP and conversely for mature MFIs: hence, substitution takes place. However, there is no clear interaction between these performances.

description: Le niveau élevé du taux de chômage des diplômés au Maroc préoccupe la population et les décideurs et interpelle les économistes. L’objet de notre travail est d’analyser les facteurs qui agissent sur l’insertion professionnelle des diplômés de l’enseignement supérieur au Maroc. Nous utilisons les données individuelles issues d’une enquête auprès de 3 994 diplômés. Outre les caractéristiques individuelles et de l’environnement socio-économique du diplômé, nous évaluons l’importance des profils de formation et testons l’existence d’un « effet filière » sur la capacité du diplômé à trouver rapidement un emploi. La littérature économique sur le sujet confirme que les modèles de durée sont les mieux adaptés pour le traitement des donnés et l'analyse de l'insertion sur le marché du travail.

Financial and social performance of Senegalese MFIs: a comparative analysis of the effects of a default rate increase
Creators: name: Ndiouma Ndour, Eric Paget Blanc
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2014

description: The article focuses on the quality of the loan portfolio of microfinance institutions (MFIs) in Senegal. The study was designed to assess the effect of the increase in non-performing loans (NPLs) on financial and social performance of MFIs and to specify appropriate repayment policies in deteriorating loan portfolios. Data for the period (1980-2010) were collected from Senegalese MFIs and analyzed using VAR models and impulse functions. The results show a significant level of influence of financial variables as opposed to social variables, indicating that the financial dimension remains decisive in political management credit risk of MFIs in Senegal.

Subjects: Politique monétaire, taux d’intérêt, co-intégration, causalité.

description: Les mutations du système financier marocain ont, sans aucun doute, et à l'instar de nombreux autres pays, compliqué le contexte économique et financier dans lequel s'inscrit la politique monétaire. De ce fait, les objectifs de la Banque centrale sont focalisés sur une mission principale, qui se manifeste dans la garantie du pouvoir d'achat de la monnaie. D'autre part, les objectifs intermédiaires ont été affinés pour intégrer la porosité entre la monnaie et les autres actifs financiers. Enfin, les instruments utilisés ont été façonnés pour passer d'une gestion par la quantité à une gestion par les prix. Ce sont là quelques aspects, liés à l'efficacité de la nouvelle politique monétaire marocaine, qui constituent la trame de l’analyse ici développée.

Stochastic programming models for distribution logistics, bikesharing and production management
Creators: name: CAVAGNINI, Rossana
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2019

description: In this thesis, we study four different problems, all characterized by the presence of uncertainty. The first two of them deal with a distribution system in which transshipment and/or backordering are allowed. For the first problem, we propose a two-stage stochastic program, we provide complexity results and we show that considering uncertainty explicitly in the model leads to better solutions with respect to the ones provided by the corresponding deterministic program, especially if limited recourse actions are admitted. For the second distribution problem, we propose a multi-stage stochastic model. As the complexity increases with the number of stages, we first derive optimal policies useful for solving two polynomially solvable cases. Then, for the general case, we show that the rolling horizon heuristic performs well by properly decomposing the time horizon. For the third problem, we derive a two-stage stochastic model to optimize the allocation and rebalancing activities in a bikesharing system. After showing the benefits of modeling uncertainty, we compare the solution of our stochastic program with the one obtained by Newsvendor model-based heuristics and with the real implemented system. For the fourth problem, we propose a two-stage stochastic programming model that quantifies the impact of worker assignment decisions to produce through an exponential stochastic learning curve. After linearizing it through a mixed integer program that can be solved efficiently, we perform a rigorously designed computational study and statistical analysis to derive tactics and managerial insights for how an organization should plan its production operations about assignment, cross-training and practicing. Finally, given the complexity of solving stochastic integer programs (even for the two-stage case), we propose a methodology in order to obtain monotonic chains of lower bounds for problems hard to be solved and we present some preliminary results based on instances from the literature.

Plus précisément, nos résultats démontrent l’intérêt d’un accord graduel et asymétrique. En outre, l’Accord de libre-échange (ALE) entre les Etats-Unis et le Maroc aura un impact significatif non seulement sur le commerce entre ces deux pays, mais également sur leurs relations commerciales avec d’autres pays. Le plus important détournement de commerce affectera l’UE et particulièrement la France, qui est le principal partenaire commercial du Maroc. Cela affectera également les autres pays d’Afrique du Nord.

Technical and Fundamental Features? analysis for Stock Market Prediction with Data Mining Methods
Creators: name: BARAK, Sasan
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2019

description: Of the most important concerns of market practitioners is future information of the companies which offer stocks. A reliable prediction of the company?s financial status provides a situation for the investor to more confident investments and gaining more profits(Huang, 2012b). Accurately prediction of stocks? prices has a positive affects into the organizations financial stability (Asadi et al., 2012). Since financial market is complex and has non-linear dynamic systems, its prediction is really challenging (Huang and Tsai, 2009).
The steady and amazing progress of computer hardware technology in the past decades has led to large supplies of powerful and affordable computers, data collection equipment, and storage media. This technology provides a great boost to the database and information industry and makes a huge number of databases and information repositories available for transaction management, information retrieval, and data analysis.
Data mining are defined as group of algorithms and methods designed to analyze data or to extract patterns in specific categories from data contributing greatly to business strategies, engineering, medical research, and financial areas (Klosgen and Zytkow, 1996). Prediction of stock prices, credit scores, and even bankruptcy potentials are examples of significant applicability of data mining in the field of finance.
In this research we are using the potential tools of data mining area for the forecasting the stocks and shares? prices and future trends. However, there are different approaches in financial forecasting in general and stock market price forecasting in particular including using fundamental analysis, technical analysis, and news via econometric or machine learning algorithms (Atsalakis et al., 2011; Kar et al., 2014), while in the this thesis we will go through all of these methodologies. The structure of the thesis is consist of three papers of the author, published in the ISI journals about using technical and fundamental features for stock market prediction with different algorithms in the data mining as chapter 3 until chapter 5. The thesis exploits different types of financial data set and established three aspects of stock market forecasting via different combination of feature engineering in the finance dataset and machine learning models.
The financing issue for african MFIs: an overview of mesofinance experiences
Creators: name: Lieno, Lucie Fotsa
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2014

description: This paper attempts to provide an explicit outline of mesofinance activities conducted in Africa. Twenty-six microfinance institutions (MFIs) are observed between 2008 and 2012, in 16 Sub Saharan Africa countries. The characteristics of these MFIs are analyzed, ranging from mesofinance programs to ultimate beneficiaries. By distinguishing small business loans patterns from loans granted for social inclusion, an empirical study is carried out using an ordered probit model, thus allowing us to observe how MFIs operate in the mesofinance economic model. The regression of panel data reveals that MFIs become involved in mesofinance according to their funding source or legal status.

description: Questo lavora prende in esame i procedimenti ecfrastici all?interno della Vita e nei Trattati di Benvenuto Cellini con una specifica attenzione sulle descrizioni che l?autore ha formulato sulle sue opere di oreficeria e di scultura realizzate in un arco di tempo che va dal 1518 al 1565. Sono state prese in esame le singole descrizioni per rintracciare le specifiche tecniche del discorso attraverso le quali il visivo viene trasposto in forma verbale. L?analisi ha fatto emergere quale peculiarit� il fatto che l?oggetto della descrizione non � mai una restituzione mimetica dell?oggetto ma � sempre la restituzione del processo immaginativo e/o del procedimento tecnico esecutivo con il quale l?opera � stata creata. Sulla base dei dati raccolti � emersa una peculiare concezione del fare artistico di Cellini: la descrizione dell?opera coincide con la narrazione dell?incontro, e pi� spesso scontro, tra le forze che hanno condotto alla sua realizzazione (committente e artista, questi e la materia che lavora, il suo legittimo desiderio di fare e l?influsso costante della ?cattiva stella' che ritarda il suo lavoro e mette e repentaglio la sua riuscita, la fede in Dio che garantisce la vittoria su ogni ostacolo e l?eccellenza del risultato). In tal modo descrizione dell'opera e narrazione delle vicende biografiche sono uunica, e identica cosa.

Statistical analysis of the performance of microfinance institutions: the Ethiopian case
Creators: name: ANDUANBESSA, TSEGAYE
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2009

description: Nowadays governments and many development agents pay great attention to the development of Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) with the belief that they are able to alleviate poverty in a very shot time. This paper tried to give statistical insight in measuring the performance of MFIs in Ethiopia and the determinants of their performance. A cross-sectional data from 2006 fiscal calendar balance sheet of 26 MFIs in the country is used to carry out the study. Factor analysis (FA) of performance indicators revealed that the deposit mobilized from clients,the number of active borrowers, and the gross loan portfolio load high on one component, establishing the outreach performance dimension of the MFIs in the country. On the other hand, profit margin, OSS, return on asset and gross loan portfolio-to-total asset ratio load high on the other component, establishing the financial sustainability dimension. In order to identify the determinants of the performance of the MFIs, a seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) model was fitted on the outreach and sustainability dimension scores synthesized by FA. The number/types of financial services rendered, the number of staff per branch and their capital are found to determine the outreach performance of the MFIs in the country. It was also noted that capital has an adverse impact on the outreach efforts of the MFIs. Moreover, the financial viability of the MFIs is found to be highly determined by the average amount of loans disbursed to individuals, the financial revenue ratio and the cost per borrower ratio.
Morte in diretta. Spettacolarizzazione e uso politico di un tab� visivo
Creators: name: PREVITALI, Giuseppe
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2019

description: Il presente lavoro si propone di indagare il fenomeno visivo della morte filmata indagandone le sue funzioni, a cavallo fra spettacolarizzazione del decesso e suo uso politico, attraverso l?esplorazione di tre casi di studio. Ciascuna di queste prospettive sul tema si premurer� tanto di ricostruire le coordinate storico-culturali del proprio oggetto di attenzione quanto di connetterlo ad una rete di riflessioni situate a cavallo fra teoria del cinema e studi sulla cultura visuale. In un primo momento si considerer� il fenomeno dei mondo movies, finti documentari prodotti in Italia per almeno tre decenni come momento di elaborazione problematica del rapporto fra immagine e referente, in relazione alla fondazione di un progetto spettatoriale nuovo per l?epoca. Successivamente l?attenzione si focalizzer� sulla mitologia culturale dello snuff movie, oggetto osceno per eccellenza e sorta di grande rimosso della cultura visiva contemporanea. A completamento di queste riflessioni sulla resa spettacolare della morte filmata, l?analisi condotta sui video prodotti dallo Stato islamico mostrer� come, nel contesto pi� strettamente contemporaneo, questo topos visuale abbia progressivamente assunto il nuovo ruolo di gesto performativo dotato di una precisa valenza politica.
Data-at-Rest Protection and Efficient Access Control in the Cloud
Creators: name: ROSA, Marco
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Bergamo
Year: 2021

description: Cloud storage services offer a variety of benefits that make them extremely attractive for the management of large amounts of data. These services, however, raise some concerns related to the proper protection of data that, being stored on servers of third party cloud providers, are no longer under the data owner control. The research and development community has addressed these concerns by proposing solutions where encryption is adopted not only for protecting data but also for regulating accesses. Depending on the trust assumption on the cloud provider offering the storage service, encryption can be applied at the server side, client side, or through an hybrid approach.
In this book, for each of these three scenarios, we present a novel approach, supported by its implementation, for providing data-at-rest protection and efficient access control. First, we introduce and implement a novel hybrid approach, named EncSwift. EncSwift relies on client side encryption for protecting data-at-rest, and on server-side encryption to enforce efficient access revocation. Second, we introduce a novel technique, i.e., Mix&Slice, belonging to the family of all-or-nothing transforms (AONTs), and we present an interesting application of AONTs to Decentralized Cloud Storage (DCS) networks. Indeed, an AONT provides stronger security guarantees on the data it wraps, and it can be exploited for enforcing efficient access revocation without requiring the support of the cloud provider.
Finally, we target efficient access control on data aggregations, when relying on a trusted provider. Indeed, despite the availability of information, situations like fragmented ownership and legal frameworks hinder data processing, requiring companies to design complex human-driven processes in order to gather, aggregate, and process data in a compliant way. We address this lack of automation with an access control mechanism extending the XACML policy language, and enforcing a novel decision process.

Variability Modeling and Resolution in Component-based Robotics Systems
Creators: name: GHERARDI, LUCA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2013

description: The routine use of existing solutions in the development of new systems is a key attribute of every mature engineering discipline. Software reuse is indeed the state of the practice in various domains (e.g.
telecommunications, automotive and avionics).
One of the key factors that enable the development of reusable software is the flexibility, which is the ease with which a system can be modified to be used in applications or environments different from those for which it was originally designed. In robotics software reuse is still at an early stage. This is due to the complexity and the huge variability that characterize this domain. The complexity makes the development of reusable software a task that requires advanced software engineering techniques, which are not always mastered by robotics experts. The variability of hardware, environment and task
makes frequent the changes that occur in the application requirements.
The research documented in this thesis investigates new approaches for the development of component-based robotics systems, which are flexible enough to accommodate the changes that are likely to occur to the software requirements. Addressing the flexibility of robotics software systems and variability modeling and resolution are thus the main topics. The first contribution is a software development process that explicitly takes into account the variability. The process is based on two of the most promising approaches to software reuse, namely the Software Product Lines and the Model Driven Engineering. This thesis describes the process, illustrates the models and tools that have been developed for supporting it, and exemplifies its application by means of a case study.
The second contribution consists of a set of approaches that have been designed for developing component-based system with an high level of flexibility and reusability. In particular this approaches focus on addressing the software framework and the hardware variability.
Microcredit in the context of political and fiscal decentralization
Creators: name: Iba, Ayako
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2015

description: A growing number of developing countries are decentralizing, but is decentralization capable of creating a more enabling environment for pro-poor programs? This paper uses microcredit as an example of such a service and employs OLS regressions to examine the effect of political and fiscal decentralization on the operational and social efficiency of MFIs. The results suggest that political decentralization is linked with higher efficiency but it is outweighed by the negative effect of relying on intergovernmental transfers. In less developed countries, political decentralization?s positive correlation with MFI efficiency decreases and fiscal decentralization has a less negative effect.
Multivariate causality between financial depth and economic growth in Nigeria
Creators: name: OKECHUKWU CHUKWU, JUDE

Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2009

description: The study adopts the multivariate VECM to investigate the causality between financial depth and economic growth in Nigeria from 1971 to 2008. The results suggest that financial depth and economic growth have a stable long-run relationship. The study supports the demand-following hypothesis for the banking sector?s private sector credit and real broad money supply; while it supports the supply-leading hypothesis for loan deposit ratio and bank deposit liabilities.The major finding is that the financial depth indicator used has great influence on the causal inference. This result validates Agu and Chukwu (2008) which employed the Toda and Yamamoto (1995) causality testing approach.

Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2010

description: Microfinance regulation is currently a highly debated topic in view of the increasing interest on the issue by the international community. In this paper we investigate its
impact on performance of microfinance institutions using OLS regressions applied on
panel data from a sample of 180 institutions from CAMCULL, an important data source of microfinance institutions in Cameroon. The data include variables on 2007 and 2008 balance sheet and income statements. The results of our analysis show that regulation has a negative impact on performance and especially on credit to finance growth.

A utilização de um protocolo de exercícios terapêuticos que incluam estímulos psicomotores a serem potencializados. Sendo assim, através deste estudo é possível identificar que há  melhora funcional por meio da estimulação psicomotora em idosos.

ABSTRACT

Population aging is a reality in Brazil, just like in the whole world. One of the main problems associated with human aging is the reduction of the ability to control posture and gait, which can lead to falls, thus reducing the functional capacity of the elderly. The objective of this research is the consequences of psychomotor interventions for better results in relation to the gain of functionality, range of motion, motor coordination, proprioception, tonicity, balance and spatio-temporal structuring. The methodology used was through a systematic review of the literature, carried out in electronic databases. We included articles that fit the proposed theme and the scientific papers published between the years 2000 and 2017. The electronic search was conducted in the following databases: MEDLINE / PUBMED, LILACS, SCIELO, BIREME. The descriptors in Portuguese and their correspondence in English were used: Physiotherapy, Geriatrics, Psychomotricity, Equilibrium. The use of a protocol of therapeutic exercises that include psychomotor stimuli to be potentialized. Thus, through this study it is possible to identify that there is functional improvement through psychomotor stimulation in the elderly.
