The Role of Fraudulent Transfer Rules in Corporate Insolvency
2008
"The article is based on a lecture given by the author in Paris on the 12. October 2007 in the context of a Symposium devoted to corporate insolvency law. It deals with the role of fraudulent transfer rules in company law. The research is carried out on the field of comparative and European law. It therefore starts from a stipulative definition of [UTF-8?]“fraudulent transfer [UTF-8?]rules†which excludes preferences (even if they belong to the matter, in some legal systems) but includes the regulations aimed at subordinating [UTF-8?]shareholders’ loans. The paper demonstrates that the different [UTF-8?]“fraudulent transfer [UTF-8?]rules†adopted by principal EU Member States conver…
A New Dynamic Model for Anticipatory Adaptive Control of Airline Seat Reservation via Order Statistics of Cumulative Customer Demand
2017
This paper deals with dynamic anticipatory adaptive control of airline seat reservation for the stochastic customer demand that occurs over time T before the flight is scheduled to depart. It is assumed that time T is divided into m periods, namely a full fare period and m−1 discounted fare periods. The fare structure is given. An airplane has a seat capacity of U. For the sake of simplicity, but without loss of generality, we consider (for illustration) the case of nonstop flight with two fare classes (business and economy). The proposed policies of the airline seat inventory control are based on the use of order statistics of cumulative customer demand, which have such properties as bivar…
Adaptive Stochastic Airline Seat Inventory Control under Parametric Uncertainty
2013
Airline seat inventory control is a very profitable tool in the airline industry. The problem of adaptive stochastic airline seat inventory control lies at the heart of airline revenue management. This problem concerns the allocation of the finite seat inventory to the stochastic customer demand that occurs over time before the flight is scheduled to depart. The objective is to find the right combination of customers of various fare classes on the flight such that revenue is maximized. In this paper, the static and dynamic policies of stochastic airline seat inventory control (airline booking) are developed under parametric uncertainty of underlying models, which are not necessarily alterna…
Simple Facts Concerning Nambu Algebras
1998
A class of substitution equations arising in the extension of Jacobi identity for $n$-gebras is studied and solved. Graded bracket and cohomology adapted to the study of formal deformations are presented. New identities in the case of Nambu-Lie algebras are proved. The triviality in the Gerstenhaber sense of certain deformed n-skew-symmetric brackets, satisfying the Leibniz rule with respect to a star-product, is shown for n≥ 3.
Alcune riflessioni sull’indipendenza giudiziaria nel contesto europeo
2023
This article aims to provide some reflections on the links between judiciary independence, the rule of law, and the role of judges both national and European. First of all, it focuses on the evolution of the role of the judge in the constitutional and European systems. Then, it shows how the European Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights have developed criteria to ensure the independence of judges, analysing them. Moreover, it examines the criteria that have been developed by the European courts and by the opinions of the Consultative Council of European Judges about the independence of the Judiciary Councils.
L'ordinamento giudiziario. Ciclo di seminari (Palermo, marzo-maggio, 2018)
2019
The collected contributions constitute the backbone of a series of seminars on the “Judiciary rules”, which took place in the spring of 2018 in the context of the master's degree course in Law of the University of Palermo. The volume aims to offer the trainee lawyer a closer look at a profile not always investigated of the jurisdictional activity: that of the constitution and functioning of the offices of the ordinary judiciary. Even in their unity, the issues addressed can ideally be divided into two thematic areas: the first aims to provide a general view of the system; the second is dedicated to the analysis of specialized sections and the honorary judiciary. In the appendix, the feature…
Does relevance matter to data mining research?
2008
Data mining (DM) and knowledge discovery are intelligent tools that help to accumulate and process data and make use of it. We review several existing frameworks for DM research that originate from different paradigms. These DM frameworks mainly address various DM algorithms for the different steps of the DM process. Recent research has shown that many real-world problems require integration of several DM algorithms from different paradigms in order to produce a better solution elevating the importance of practice-oriented aspects also in DM research. In this chapter we strongly emphasize that DM research should also take into account the relevance of research, not only the rigor of it. Und…
Applying constructivist approach to educational business games: Case REALGAME
2003
Business organizations and their employees face ever-increasing complexity and accelerating changes. This brings along the need for training models that can transmit knowledge and skills needed in this kind of environment. Business process understanding is especially required. This article evaluates business games in the light of constructivism, a view of learning emphasizing the need to anchor training to everyday activities and concrete contexts, and introduces a new computer-based business game. The purpose of this construction is to give the business game participants a realistic view of business processes and thus enhance participant business process perception. The primary aim of the…
Business models and opportunity creation: How IT entrepreneurs create and develop business models under uncertainty
2015
How can entrepreneurs develop business models for markets in which the technology is constantly changing-or create business models for markets that do not exist? These are fundamental questions for information technology IT entrepreneurs, and for information systems IS scholars who seek to develop a theoretical understanding of business models. The case study presented in this paper addressed these questions, demonstrating how a small software firm developed its business model over a 15-year period in cloud gaming markets. Based on the empirical findings, a preliminary theoretical model is presented. The aim of the model is to increase scholarly understanding of how business models are crea…
Translating the Idea of the eGovernment One-Stop-Shop in Indonesia
2013
Article from the Book:Information and Communication Technology, Springer 2013. Also available on SpringerLink:http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-36818-9_1 This study aims to understand how the idea of an eGovernment one- stop-shop (OSS) has been translated into a new setting. Since the beginning of 2000, this idea has been implemented in a variety of ways by Indonesian local governments. Using an interpretive case study in the city of Yogyakarta, the study revealed that the specificity of each setting influences the translation process of the idea of OSS during its institutionalization. It also identified a set of editing rules used during the translation process. These include the editing…
