title: Measurements of Cryptographic Primitives Execution on Android Devices

description: This dataset is a supplementary material for paper "A Comprehensive and Reproducible Comparison of Cryptographic Primitives Execution on Android Devices" with the measurements collected from 17 mobile devices and the code for reproducibility.It provides the results of the analysis of the security mechanisms in the Android OS. The main paper aims to examine these mechanisms and evaluate which cryptographic methods and procedures are most advantageous in terms of energy efficiency derived from execution time. After analyzing the collected data, specific cryptographic algorithms are recommended to implement an application that utilizes native cryptographic operations on modern Android devices. In particular, selected algorithms for symmetric encryption are AES256 / GCM / No Padding; for digital signature - SHA512 with RSA2048 / PSS, and for asymmetric encryption - RSA3072 / OAEP with SHA512 and MGF1 Padding.

title: Economy and institutions in Kubitschek government

description: ABSTRACT This paper seeks to incorporate one of the most recent theoretical progresses in institutional economics to the analysis of the institutional evolution of Brazil during the period 1956/1961: an endogenous rational choice model for institutional dynamics. The Kubitschek period was chosen because it was a moment of our recent history where it was tried to implement significant institutional changes in our political, economical and social institutions seeking to accelerate the rhythm of the industrialization process. The institutions implanted however did not present the self-reinforcement property nor in the weak sense, nor in the strong sense (terms defined in the paper), being for this subject to be undermined by endogenous processes. This institutional arrangement therefore, that was initially capable to sustain itself in conditions of fast industrialization with relative stability of prices, was progressively weakened, becoming self - enforceable only in conditions of economic stagnation and accelerated inflation. It is argued finally that the analysis outlined above can be useful to understand a little better the general nature of the processes of institutional change.

title: Foreign savings and macroeconomic performance: an analysis from a dynamic nonlinear model of capital accumulation and external indebtedness

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this article is to present a non-linear dynamic model of capital accumulation and external debt in order to evaluate the recent thesis defended by Bresser and Nakano that an excessive external debt in emerging countries - which is the result of large current account deficits - can produce not only an increase in external fragility of these economies, but also an economic stagnation, i.e. a permanent reduction in the growth rates of potential output. For this purpose, we will develop a dynamic model in which (i) an increase in the ratio external debt/GDP will produce a less than proportional increase in the rate of investment, since a fraction of the external finance will be used for the acquisition of non-reproducible assets like stocks and land; (ii) the country risk-premium is endogenous, being proportional to external debt as a fraction of GDP. In this theoretical framework, we will be able to show the existence of two long-run equilibrium: an equilibrium with a low external debt and a high degree of capacity utilization, and another equilibrium with a high external debt and a low degree of capacity utilization. Moreover, we will also show that - for a certain set of parameters values - the equilibrium with high external debt is stable and in the neighborhood of this position the degree of capacity utilization and the ratio of external debt to GDP will both show a time path characterized by damped fluctuations.

title: Deuda Externa, Crecimiento y Sostenibilidad

description: ABSTRACT The paper presents a model intended to define and discuss the sustainability of external debts in “emergent markets”. The first sustainability condition is the existence of a maximum in the debt-output ratio. With some simple behavior hypotheses, it is shown that sustainability depends on the initial debt-exports ratio, the rate of growth of exports and the country-risk premium. An endogenous country-risk premium gives room for multiple equilibrium. The model allows the discussion of vulnerability vis-à-vis financial shocks and the propensity of the economy to jump to unsustainable paths. The first sustainability condition is not a stringent one. Two additional sustainability conditions are added: a positive rate of growth and a minimum in the domestic absorption-output ratio. The discussion of multiple equilibrium, vulnerability and the potential instability of sustainability is then extended.

title: European cement and iron & steel plants production data

description: Synthetic fuels based on renewable energies are necessary for the future decarbonized energy supply. To produce synthetic fuels, stable carbon sources that are also available in a renewable energy system in the long term are required. One of the potential stable carbon sources is the CO<sub>2</sub> emitted from the industry sector. As two major CO<sub>2</sub> emission industries, the cement, and iron & steel industries have a huge potential in synthetic fuels production. With the purpose of understanding the geographic distribution and the potential of these stable carbon sources, this dataset provides the geographic location (EPSG:4326 - WGS84) of the cement and iron & steel plants in the European extend and the annual production (million tonne). For the cement industry, the data is derived from industryabout.com. For the iron and steel industry, the data is collected from various sources including the indurstyabout.com, the United States Geological Survey (USGS), companies' official websites, companies' annual reports as well as media reports.

title: For a partially convertible currency: A critique to Arida and Bacha

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this article is to do a critical evaluation of Arida-Bacha hypothesis that a high-risk premium on external and internal Brazilian debt is the consequence of the limited convertibility of Brazilian capital account. It is argued in the present paper that this hypothesis is not grounded neither in theoretical or empirical basis. The theoretical literature of capital account convertibility establishes no relation between capital controls and risk-premium on internal or external debt. The recent experience of the Brazilian economy shows that real interest rates are still too high, despite the growing liberalization of the capital account. Econometric tests involving risk-premium on Brazilian external debt and indexes of capital account liberalization developed by Cardoso and Goldfjan (1998) shows that these variables do not co-integrate. Thus, it is not possible to establish the existence of a long-run relationship between capital account liberalization and risk-premium, as would be expected if Arida-Bacha hypothesis was correct.

title: Gap between Public and Private Wages and Wages Determination in the Public Sector

description: ABSTRACT This study verifies, first of all, the existence of segmentation between the public and private labour markets in Brazil by means of the analysis of the behaviour of employment and wages in those markets during the 1990’s, showing that the con- trolled wage gap between the workers of both sectors have increased in a manner favourable to civil servants in this period. Later on, the study analyses the factors that specifically influence the wage setting in the public sector, which would account for the existence of such gap, by means of a theoretical discussion followed by the application of econometric tests.

title: Analyzing the economic impact of sustainable development programs in the Brazilian Amazon

description: ABSTRACT Over the last forty years, the Brazilian Amazon has been the object of many development and industrialization programs. The vast majority of those programs have been “mega-projects” implemented by the Brazilian federal government. Recently, several states have implemented their own style of economic development programs in the Amazon. These smaller scale “local” sustainable development programs offer policy makers an alternative to the “mega-projects”. This paper seeks to identify the strengths and weaknesses of each economic development model. Additionally, this paper provides an economic impact analysis of one “local” sustainable development project, Projeto Castanha-do-Brasil.

title: The Joint i3+3 (Ji3+3) design for phase I/II adoptive cell therapy clinical trials

description: Adoptive cell therapy (ACT), such as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, has demonstrated promising therapeutic effects with potentially non-monotonic dose–response curves. Building upon the i3 + 3 design for cytotoxic agents [1], we propose a new method – joint i3 + 3 (Ji3 + 3) that takes into account of both safety and efficacy outcomes in making dosing recommendations. This allows for efficient dose escalation and identification of biological optimal dose of ACTs which may not be cytotoxic. The Ji3 + 3 design is rule based, easy to understand for clinicians, and is simple to implement. Simulation results show that Ji3 + 3 outperforms existing designs when monotonic dose–response assumption is violated, and still achieves comparable performance when the assumption holds. The simplicity and superior operating characteristics make Ji3 + 3 a good candidate for phase I/II ACT dose-finding trials in the clinical community when toxicity and efficacy are both considered as binary endpoints.

title: A BAYESIAN ADAPTIVE TWO-STAGE DESIGN FOR PEDIATRIC CLINICAL TRIALS

description: We develop a novel two-stage Bayesian adaptive trial design for pediatric settings which borrows information from previously completed trials in adults to support establishing substantial evidence of efficacy for the pediatric population in situations where information extrapolation from adults is justifiable. At the time of the stage I analysis, the extent of information borrowing from adult data is determined by assessing compatibility of the observed pediatric data with its prior predictive distribution, derived using the adult trial data. At this time, the trial may be stopped for futility, enrollment may be stopped (with ongoing patients followed up for primary outcome ascertainment), or enrollment may proceed into stage II to reach a prespecified maximum sample size. We provide guidance on how practitioners can approach answering the question “How much information should be borrowed?” through balancing use of the adult data (when compatible with the pediatric data) with the need to ensure the design leads to reasonable recommendations regarding key actions that might be taken regarding the trial (e.g., when to stop early for efficacy). Type I error control is considered secondary to these considerations as type I error rate inflation above typical levels is unavoidable in these settings. We illustrate how the method can be applied using the Pediatric Lupus Trial of Belimumab Plus Background Standard Therapy as motivation.
