Financial Informatics by Dorje Brody,L. P. Hughston,Andrea Macrina Pdf

The Brody-Hughston-Macrina approach to information-based asset pricing introduces a new way of looking at the mechanisms determining price movements in financial markets. The resulting theory of financial informatics is applicable across a wide range of asset classes and is distinguished by its emphasis on the explicit modelling of market information flows. In the BHM theory, each asset is defined by a collection of cash flows and each such cash flow is associated with a family of one or more so-called information processes that provide partial information about the cash flow. The theory is highly appealing on an intuitive basis: it is directly applicable to trading, investment and risk management - and yet at the same time leads to interesting mathematics. The present volume brings together a collection of 18 foundational papers of the subject by Brody, Hughston, and Macrina, many written in collaboration with various co-authors. There is a preface summarizing the current status of the theory, together with a brief history and bibliography of the subject. This book will be of great interest both to newcomers to financial mathematics as well as to established researchers in the subject.

Essays on the Visualisation of Legal Informatics by Vytautas Cyras,Friedrich Lachmayer Pdf

Both legal scholars and computer scientists will be curious to know how the gap between law and computing can be bridged. The law, and also jurisprudence, is based on language, and is mainly textual. Every syntactic system has its semantic range, and so does language, which in law achieves a high degree of professional precision. The use of visualisations is a syntactic supplement and opens up a new understanding of legal forms. This understanding was reinforced by the paradigm shift from textual law to legal informatics, in which visual formal notations are decisive. The authors have been dealing with visualisation approaches for a long time and summarise them here for discussion. In this book, a multiphase transformation from the legal domain to computer code is explored. The authors consider law enforcement by computer. The target view is that legal machines are legal actors that are capable of triggering institutional facts. In the visualisation of statutory law, an approach called Structural Legal Visualisation is presented. Specifically, the visualisation of legal meaning is linked with tertium comparationis, the third part of the comparison. In a legal documentation system, representing one legal source with multiple documents is viewed as a granularity problem. The authors propose to supplement legislative documents ex ante with explicit logic-oriented information in the form of a mini thesaurus. In contrast to so-called strong relations such as synonymy, antonymy and hypernymy/hyponymy, one should consider weak relations: (1) dialectical relations, a term of dialectical antithesis; (2) context relations; and (3) metaphorical relations, which means the use of metaphors for terms. The chapters trace topics such as the distinction between knowledge visualisation and knowledge representation, the visualisation of Hans Kelsen’s Pure Theory of Law, the separation of law and legal science, legal subsumption, legal relations, legal machines, encapsulation, compliance, transparency, standard cases and hard cases.

Future of Security with Modern Informatics by Dr.V.V.L.N. Sastry Pdf

Informatics is the general study, analysis, and application of structures, systems, and operations of engineered computation systems. With the current increase in technological advancement, informatics have become critical aspects on modern security. As outlined by Wang, Chau and Chen (2017) the increased use of reliance on informatics increases the risks and thus calling for enhanced security systems. As such, the future of security with the increased adoption of informatics is both an aspect of security risks created by informatics and their simultaneous ability to enhance security protocols. The paper reviews the growth of informatics in different industries and their underlying impacts on the related security. Using grounded research and quantitative data analysis, the research investigates the future of security with the current adoption of informatics. The review indicated that, even as informatics increase the risk of security breach, they also create wider security solutions to security breaches. As such, in the future, with well-mapped out development of security applications, government, firms, and individuals will progressively enhance their security systems to cover the risks created by development of technology and mostly informatics. Oberweis, Sure-Vetter and Thoma (2017) agrees that, ‘It is only trough constant development of security systems, that we can enjoy both the technological development without enduring the associated risks of the same innovations.

Deeper City by Joe Ravetz Pdf

Deeper City is the first major application of new thinking on ‘deeper complexity’, applied to grand challenges such as runaway urbanization, climate change and rising inequality. The author provides a new framework for the collective intelligence – the capacity for learning and synergy – in many-layered cities, technologies, economies, ecologies and political systems. The key is in synergistic mapping and design, which can move beyond smart ‘winner-takes-all’ competition, towards wiser human systems of cooperation where ‘winners-are-all’. Forty distinct pathways ‘from smart to wise’ are mapped in Deeper City and presented for strategic action, ranging from local neighbourhoods to global finance. As an atlas of the future, and resource library of pathway mappings, this book expands on the author’s previous work, City-Region 2020. From a decade of development and testing, Deeper City combines visual thinking with a narrative style and practical guidance. This book will be indispensable for those seeking a sustainable future – students, politicians, planners, systems designers, activists, engineers and researchers. A new postscript looks at how these methods can work with respect to the 2020 pandemic, and asks, ‘How can we turn crisis towards transformation?'

Investigating the Effectiveness of Blended Learning Approach and Perceptions of EFL Learners' Listening Performance at the Saudi Electronic University by Malak Ibraheem Al-Mansour ; supervisor Majid Al-Khataybeh Pdf

Abstract This study focuses on the use of the blended learning approach in the Saudi EFL context, investigating the advantages and disadvantages of its application in Saudi Electronic University, against a more conventional approach used at Imam Muhammad Ibn Saud Islamic University. This study also investigates perceptions of students concerning this particular approach. The opinions of instructors are also surveyed in order to identify the challenges and obstacles that they have found in employing it. The study also examines possible differences in performance by comparing five colleges where the approach has been used. For this purpose, 475 students and 12 instructors participated in this study who were studying or working in either SEU or Imam Muhammad Ibn Saud Islamic University during the first semester of the academic year 1439/1440 from Riyadh female campus. The findings indicated that the students’ results are better using the blended learning approach in their listening performance, also there is a statistically significant difference in the students’ satisfaction in the listening course between the conventional method which is used at Imam Muhammad Ibn Saud Islamic University and the blended learning approach at Saudi Electronic University in favor of blended learning approach at the SEU, and there is a strongly statistically significant difference in students’listening performance between colleges in favour of college of science and theoretical studies. Finally, the study suggests that further research should be conducted on the use BL in teaching other language skills such as, reading, speaking and writing. Key words: Blended learning, listening performance, Saudi Electronic University
