Restoring consumer confidence in financial services

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to seek to explore the role of brand advertising in restoring trust in the sector. Consumer confidence in financial services has been bruised and battered over recent months. Design/methodology/approach The paper uses data from a variety of respected online analysts and commentators to explore current and future trends in online advertising and their impact on trust in the financial services sector. Findings The role of trusted adviser in the financial services sector is now the domain of online sources and last year, 36 per cent of the total online population visited a personal finance site. Financial services marketers have realised the importance of online as a direct response mechanism to support offline marketing activity. However the effort to balance direct response and brand building activities through offline channels is, at present, far from being replicated online. And with the migration away from traditional media on an upward spiral, the approach to internet marketing and advertising will have to catch up. Originality/value The paper provides financial services marketers some insight into the future of online advertising and explains the benefits of adopting a dual approach of both brand advertising and search marketing to restore consumer confidence.
Angel of History and the Messiah of Event: Art- Politics-Technology in the Work of Walter Benjamin

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

U knjizi ANĐEO POVIJESTI I MESIJA DOGAĐAJA: Umjetnost–Politika–Tehnika u djelu Waltera Benjamina autor se bavi sustavnim tumacenjem misljenja koje predstavlja jedan od najznacajnijih priloga suvremenosti. Pristup Benjaminu razvija se imanentno iz uvida da svi njegovi pojmovi, figure i misaone konstelacije najavljuju doba tehnosfere kao doba slikovnih konstrukcija, nestanka aure umjetnickoga djela i mesijansku politiku slobode i pravednosti. Ovo nije uobicajena monografski koncipirana studija s ambicijom da bude tek jedna u nizu knjiga o prekretnom filozofu-umjetniku 20. stoljeca, cije su ideje otvorile nove horizonte u promisljanju umjetnosti-politike-tehnike i ostavile duboki trag u aktualnim raspravama o nasljeđu modernosti i njegovim paradoksima i aporijama. Paic nastoji dovesti u vezu kritiku metafizike u Heideggera s Benjaminovim projektom artikulacije spasonosnoga događaja u samoj biti modernoga svijeta. Sto jos uopce preostaje od Benjaminova misljenja za složenost života tehnogenetski stvorenoga i vizualno predstavljenoga? Ni melankolija za izgubljenim svijetom cudesne modernosti niti posljednji udar »božanskoga nasilja« s onu stranu suverenih nacija-država. Ostaje mogucnost za suvremeno misljenje kao traganje za nadolazecim događajem otvorenosti slobode bez redukcije na drustvo i sve njegove mitske opsjene.

Settlement of Grant Disputes in the Perspective of Islamic Law (Analysis of Decision Number: 48/Pdt.Sus/2011 About Cancellation of Grant)

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In recent decades, grant disputes have attracted considerable attention because the decisions often present debates and the decisions concluded need to reach decisions that are just and in accordance with applicable legal principles. This article will analyse Decision Number: 48/Pdt.Sus/2011 on grant cancellation. The method used in this research uses a normative juridical approach method by examining the results of the decision. This research aims to understand how Islamic law is applied in grant dispute cases, particularly in the context of grant cancellation between parents and their children. Through this case study, the legal bases used by the court were analysed, including the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) and the Compilation of Sharia Economic Law (KHES). This study found that the court's decision refers to Article 212 of the KHI and Article 712 of the KHES which stipulates that the grantor can withdraw the grant after the handover has been carried out on the condition that the recipient agrees to it, this provision does not apply to grants from parents to their children. Grants from parents to their children can be withdrawn as long as the child is still alive, according to article 714 paragraph (2) KHI.
Hepatitis B core‐related antigen levels after HBeAg seroconversion is associated with the development of hepatocellular carcinoma

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Hepatitis B core‐related antigen (HBcrAg) is a novel serological marker for hepatitis B virus infection. Its clinical significance after HBeAg seroconversion has not been defined. We aimed to determine the relationship between HBcrAg levels after spontaneous HBeAg seroconversion and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A total of 207 chronic hepatitis B patients with documented time of HBeAg seroconversion were enrolled. HBcrAg and HBsAg were checked within 3 years (as baseline), at 5 and 10 years after HBeAg seroconversion. HBV DNA was measured at the baseline. Multivariate Cox regression model was used to investigate the predictors for HCC development. The median follow‐up time was 13.1 (11.8‐15.5) years. Fourteen patients developed HCC (15‐year cumulative incidence: 7%). The median level of HBcrAg at baseline was significantly higher in patients who developed HCC when compared with patients without HCC (5.68 vs 4.78 log U/ml, respectively; P = .003). Cox proportional hazards model indicated that age of HBeAg seroconversion older than 40 years (hazard ratio (HR): 4.60; P = .049), presence of baseline cirrhosis (HR: 6.23; P = .003) and a higher baseline HBcrAg (HR: 1.75; P = .032) were independently associated with HCC development. A cut‐off value of baseline HBcrAg level ≥5.21 log U/mL yielded an AUROC of 0.74 with a negative predictive value of 97.7%. High HBcrAg levels within 3 years after HBeAg seroconversion were independently associated with the development of HCC in chronic hepatitis B patients.
L'innovation et son projet à l'université : un héritage impossible ?

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Innovation and university projects : an impossible heritage ? This research study organized by Jean-Yves Robin and Brigitte Albero is about four university teachers' professional itineraries. These teachers have initiated important changes in teaching methods within their respective universities, and as are they all close to retiring, the question is raised as to who should follow in their footsteps. For several of them, this period of transferring power is problematic as they feel a threat upon the future of what they initiated. This article analyzes these difficulties.

A new trend in cholera epidemiology.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A new phase in the epidemiology of cholera has become evident since 1961, when cholera El Tor, which was originally confined to a limited geographical area in the Celebes Island in Indonesia for several decades, emerged from its original home and spread extensively in the West Pacific region and South and South-east Asian countries.The world incidence of cholera, which had been progressively declining during the last few decades, is again showing a tendency to increase.Since 1923 classical cholera, caused by Vibrio cholerae, has been confined to a few countries in Asia, and from 1962 it has remained limited in India and Pakistan; whereas cholera El Tor, caused by El Tor vibrios, still continues its spread over wide areas in a pandemic form.The chronological order of spread of El Tor infection since 1961 is shown in the accompanying map.Cholera El Tor appeared in Burma in 1963, and, spreading further westwards, reached Chittagong in East Pakistan by the end of 1963.Its entry into India was first detected in Calcutta in April 1964(Mukerjee, 1964).Before the end of the year cholera El Tor was found to have spread to seven districts of East Pakistan and West Bengal.In Calcutta cases of El Tor infection soon outnumbered those classical cholera.From July 1964 scattered areas in Bihar state, from which only V. cholerae strains had been isolated during the first half of the year, showed cholera infections due exclusively to El Tor vibrios.During the middle of 1964 El Tor vibrios were isolated in almost equal proportion with V. cholerae from outbreaks in Surat and Baroda areas in Gujratt state on the western coast of India.In the first three months of 1965 only El Tor vibrios were isolated from cholera cases in Baroda.During the latter half of 1964 the city of Bombay was found to harbour cholera vibrios of both types, which were isolated from patients suffering from diarrhoea after the cholera epidemic of 1964 was over.In the Kottayam area in Kerala, on the other hand, El Tor cultures alone could be isolated from cases during the cholera outbreaks in 1965.A small epidemic of " acute gastro-enteritis" in Ujjain and other places around Indore, in
Halimane Diterpenes\nin the Alpine Daisy <i>Celmisia\nviscosa</i>: Absolute Configuration, 2,6-Dideoxyhexopyran-3-ulosides,\nConformational Flexibility, and Intraspecific Variation

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The methyl-migrated bicyclic skeleton of the halimane\nditerpenes\nhas been found in a wide range of organisms, including flowering plants,\nliverworts, marine animals, and bacteria. The discovery of halima-1(10),14-dien-13-ol\n(<b>3</b>) from the Aotearoa New Zealand endemic alpine daisy <i>Celmisia viscosa</i> is now reported. The full configuration\nwas assigned for the first time by X-ray crystallography, enantiomeric\nto that of a liverwort isolate. The absolute configuration at C-5\nof the halimane is opposite to that at C-5 of the labdane epimanool\n(<b>1</b>) found in some <i>C. viscosa</i> specimens.\nTwo new 2,6-dideoxyhexopyran-3-uloside halimane derivatives (<b>4</b> and <b>5</b>) were also found, and the absolute configuration\nof <b>5</b> was determined by <sup>1</sup>H NMR analysis of\nthe Mosher esters. Line broadening in the <sup>13</sup>C NMR spectra\nof these halim-1(10)-enes was due to conformational exchange in the\ndecalin ring A, as shown by molecular modeling and DFT calculations. <sup>1</sup>H NMR and GC analyses of leaf extracts of individual plants\nfrom across the full geographic range of <i>C. viscosa</i> revealed intraspecific variation of diterpenes: 37 samples had halimadienol\nas the main diterpene in large amounts and 2 specimens had predominantly\nepimanool, again in large amounts. Three other viscid (sticky leaved) <i>Celmisia</i> species also contained diterpenes, but none was\ndetectable in four nonviscid <i>Celmisia</i> species.

A general view: Structure and function of the subinits of E. coli RNA polymerase

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

The DNA-dependent RNA polymerases are widespread throughout nature. E. coli RNA polymerase, one of the most well characterized polymerase, consists of two major forms, core enzyme with subunit stoichiometry of ￻2￻￻' and holoenzyme which contains an additional ￻ subunit to core enzyme. E. coli RNA polymerase plays a central role in transcription. While the core enzyme catalyses the elongation and termination of transcription, to initiate core enzyme needs to combine with ￻ subunit. The three dimensional structure of this multimeric enzyme revealed a thumb-like projection. Using the electron microscope, Tichelar and Heel (1990) proposed a model that is in agreement with both ￻ and ￻' together constituting a V-like structure and ￻ dimer associates at the short ends, while ￻ is positioned within the concave side of the core, next to the dimer. In this review, the structure and related functions of the subunits of E. coli DNA-dependent RNA polymerase is presented based on several researches and reviews. Considering biochemical and genetic studies on the RNA polymerase of E. coli, a genetic walk on the subunits is summarized.
B‐cell very late antigen‐4 deficiency reduces leukocyte recruitment and susceptibility to central nervous system autoimmunity

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Natalizumab, which binds very late antigen‐4 (VLA‐4), is a potent therapy for multiple sclerosis (MS). Studies have focused primarily upon its capacity to interfere with T‐cell migration into the central nervous system (CNS). B cells are important in MS pathogenesis and express high levels of VLA‐4. Here, we report that the selective inhibition of VLA‐4 expression on B cells impedes CNS accumulation of B cells, and recruitment of Th17 cells and macrophages, and reduces susceptibility to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. These results underscore the importance of B‐cell VLA‐4 expression in the pathogenesis of CNS autoimmunity and provide insight regarding mechanisms that may contribute to the benefit of natalizumab in MS, as well as candidate therapeutics that selectively target B cells.

Towards a comprehensive understanding of brain structure by correlative microscopy

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Unraveling the complexity of brain structure is the biggest challenge of contemporary sciences. Thanks to their flexibility, optical techniques are the key to explore this intricate network. However, a single imaging technique can reveal only a small part of this machinery due to its inherent multi-level organization. To obtain a more comprehensive view of brain, complementary approaches have been combined. Light sheet based microscopy in combination with a new protocol for tissue clearing represent cutting edge method to map cerebral circuitry through optical sectioning of cleared mouse brains. On the other hand, dynamic information on the structural plasticity of neuronal networks has been contextualized in a wider framework combining two-photon and light-sheet microscopy. Finally, synaptic features have been revealed on previously in vivo imaged samples by correlative light-electron microscopy. In this presentation, we describe our recent advantages in correlative techniques proposing a wider methodological framework fusing multiple levels of brain investigation.
Mobile visual search information services

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Mobile visual search (MVS) is form of search performed on a mobile phone where images are used as a basis for the search rather than text. To build the search engine, the Bag-of-Words Model was used. Images are described using local feature descriptors and occurances of each descriptor are stored in a histogram. A database is then built and stored using a scalable vocabulary tree with inverted file indexing. Query images are then compared with the database images and each database image will be given a score. The category that the query image is in is then decided by finding the category of the database image that has the highest score. The methodology adopted by past FYP and PhD students requires an active internet connection for the search to work. This means that it is not economical for the app to be used overseas where data charges are high. Therefore, one of the objectives of this project is to build a MVS app that can perform MVS without the need of an active interconnection. The other objective of this project is to build augmented reality (AR) applications based on the MVS technology. In this report, the tools used to build the apps and the process of how the applications were built will be discussed. Three apps were developed in the course of this project. One of the app developed can perform both online and offline MVS. The Nanyang Technological University (NTU) landmarks database was used to test this app and it could perform an offline search in (3.42 ± 1.09) seconds using a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with an accuracy of 84.9%. The app developed also spots advance camera functionalities such as zooming, auto focusing and rotating buttons based on the orientation of the phone. Two AR MVS applications that can perform online mobile visual search were also developed. They are a generic AR MVS app and an AR MVS cataloguing app. The generic AR MVS app spots a full functionality results page including tabs to display various metadata about the object found. The tabs were designed in such a way that it can be easily modified to cater for any databases used. This app is tested using a book cover database and it has an accuracy of 98.2% and a search time of (0.791 ± 0.196) seconds. The AR MVS cataloguing app developed is an app that will generate a catalogue of products after scanning many products. This app was tested using a commercial product database and it has an accuracy of 85.2% and a search time of (0.969 ± 0.321) seconds
Self-interpretation of person and the problem of “strong valuation” in Charles Taylor’s philosophy

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The article aims to analyse self-interpretation concerning the formula of “strong valuation” and the issue of the human person. The subject of the analysis is Charles Taylor's concept of values in the context of his philosophical inspirations and criticism of some of his solutions. Getting to know oneself takes place in the context of discovering and realizing such values as freedom, dignity, authenticity, agency, and responsibility, etc. It is possible to point to the relationship between the axiological structure and the person that allows for self-interpretation. On the one hand, thanks to values, the subject determines its own identity. On the other hand, values constitute an element of the “community of meanings” - enabling understanding of the “human situation” and dialogue between persons. We discover the world of values while articulating and interpreting our feelings and sense other people's feelings. Values enable us to talk about what unites or divides us, will allow us to communicate, and also allows us to articulate the causes of misunderstanding. The development of the person is mediated by cultural expressions and dialogue with other actors. Taylor's concept is an exciting and vital attempt to combine reflection in the field of human philosophy, the theory of values, and the philosophy of the culture of expression.
Production and Characterization of Biochar from Almond Shells

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Biomass from specialty crops, including almonds, walnuts, and numerous others, serves as an important resource for energy and materials as agricultural systems evolve towards greater sustainability and circularity in management and operations. Biochar was produced from almond shells in a laboratory furnace at temperatures between 300 and 750 °C for residence times of 30 and 90 min with moisture contents of 5% to 15% wet basis. Response surface methodology was used to optimize the biochar yield. Feedstock and product temperatures were continuously monitored throughout the experiments. In addition, larger batches of biochar were also produced in a fixed-bed pilot-scale pyrolyzer. The yield of biochar was determined as a weight fraction of the amount of oven-dry almond shells used in each experiment. Physical and chemical characteristics of biochars were evaluated. Pyrolysis temperature and time were found to be the significant parameters affecting the biochar yield, with second-order regression models derived to fit yield results. As anticipated, highest biochar yields (65%) were obtained at a pyrolysis temperature of 300 °C and a pyrolysis time of 30 min due to the limited volatilization at this short residence at low temperature affecting torrefaction of the feedstock. The average biochar yield from the fixed-bed pilot-scale experiments was 39.5% and more closely aligned with the fixed carbon from standard proximate analyses. Higher pyrolysis temperatures resulted in higher C:N ratio and pH with the highest C:N ratio of 19:1 and pH of 10.0 obtained at a pyrolysis temperature of 750 °C for 90 min. Particle density increased with the increase of pyrolysis temperature. Results of this study can aid in predicting biochar yields from almond shells under different pyrolysis conditions and determining the amount of biochar required for different applications.
A new binary formulation of the restricted Container Relocation Problem based on a binary encoding of configurations

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The Container Relocation Problem (CRP), also called Block Relocation Problem (BRP), is concerned with finding a sequence of moves of containers that minimizes the number of relocations needed to retrieve all containers, while respecting a given order of retrieval. The restricted CRP enforces that only containers blocking the target container can be relocated. We improve upon and enhance an existing binary encoding and using it, formulate the restricted CRP as a binary integer programming problem in which we exploit structural properties of the optimal solution. This integer programming formulation reduces significantly the number of variables and constraints compared to existing formulations. Its efficiency is shown through computational results on small and medium sized instances taken from the literature.
Genetic diversity in advanced clones of sugarcane

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Genetie divergence was worked out using D2 analysis for 34 sugartane genotypes (28 advanced clones and 6 standard checks) grown in the first week of March (normal planting) and first week of May (lateplanting) at Karnal in 1984. Two canes from each of the five randomly selected clumps of each genotype were used to record data on number of millable canes per clump, cane height, leaf length and width, number of internodes per cane, internode length, cane thickness, single cane weight, cane yield per clump, fibre content, brix, pol and purity percent, commercial cane sugar, and reducing sugars.
