Empowering Absence? Assessing the Impact of Transnational Male Out-Migration on Left behind Wives
2023
Experiences of left-behind family members of transnational migrant workers have been in the shadow of academic discourse on migration. To contribute to the slowly growing body of literature, this study explores the impact of male out-migration on left-behind wives. The study proposes and applies a novel framework to estimate Women Empowerment Index (WEI) for comparing the empowerment level across households with and without men in transnational labor. Cross-sectional surveys and unstructured interviews were used to collect data from 373 respondents from three selected areas in Nepal. Results indicate that left-behind wives experience a higher degree of decision-making authority, physical mo…
FPGA-piirien hyödyntäminen ultranopeassa automatisoidussa kaupankäynnissä
2012
Ultranopeassa automatisoidussa kaupankäynnissä (HFT) aika on rahaa ja jo millisekunnin etu kilpailijoihin nähden voi tuottaa suurenkin voiton. Optimoinnin HFT-järjestelmän joka osissa nopeuttavat järjestelmää. FPGA-piirien käyttö voi nopeuttaa HFT-järjestelmää huomattavasti. Erityisesti FPGA-piiri soveltuu markkinasyötteen käsittelyyn. FPGA-piireillä savutetaan 5-22 kertainen nopeus yleiskäyttöiseen suorittimeen nähden markkinasyötteen käsittelyssä In high-frequency trading (HFT) time is money. Even a one millisecond advance to other traders can bring huge wins to the HFT system. Optimazations in different parts of the HFT system can make system faster. Using FPGAs signifacantly decreases l…
Investor-state dispute settlement - podstępne zagrożenie dla sprawnego działania administracji publicznej
2017
ISDS (investor-state dispute settlement, znany także jako ICS - investment court system) to umowny mechanizm rozstrzygania sporów między inwestorem a państwem. Polega on na możliwości zaskarżenia państwa przez przedsiębiorcę (inwestora) do arbitrażu wówczas, gdy państwo wydaje lub wykorzystuje przepisy ograniczające zyski przedsiębiorstwa (praktyki dyskryminujące). Arbitrami ISDS jest kilkunastu sowicie opłacanych prawników, pracujących dla wielkich kancelarii międzynarodowych, którzy niemal nigdy nie orzekają na korzyść państwa. Przedsiębiorca może żądać wysokiego odszkodowania: nie tylko zwrotu utraconych korzyści, lecz także spodziewanych zysków, których wysokości nie musi nawet drobiazg…
Ordered fuzzy rules generation based on incremental dataset
2021
This paper proposes a novel approach for building transparent knowledge-based systems by generating interpretable fuzzy rules that allow for present dependences between quantitative variables by accounting for uncertainty and the dynamics of their values. In the approach, IF-THEN rules are used to show the conditional relationship between the ordered fuzzy numbers, which contain additional information about the tendencies of variables' value changes. This paper elaborates an approach of mining ordered fuzzy rules from numerical data included in an incremental database. This approach develops the ability to record uncertainty and its change in the context of rapidly changing data. In additio…

Outcome Analysis From a Multicenter Registry on Unibody Stent-Graft System for the Treatment of Spontaneous Infrarenal Acute Aortic Syndrome (MURUSSI…
2022
Purpose: This study reports the outcomes from a Multicenter Registry on unibody stent-graft system for the treatment of spontaneous infrarenal acute aortic syndrome (MURUSSIAS registry). Materials and methods: The retrospective MURUSSIAS registry included spontaneous infrarenal acute aortic dissection (IAAS) managed with the unibody stent-graft system (AFX endovascular AAA system; Endologix Inc., Irvine, California) outside the current instruction for use. IAAS considered aortic dissection (AD), intramural hematoma (IMH), and penetrating aortic ulcer (PAU). Indications to IAAS treatment were symptoms, associated dilated abdominal aorta (>3 cm), rapidly-growing (>0.5 cm/6 months) aorta…
Hydro-mechanical modelling of a natural slope affected by a multiple slip surface failure mechanism
2009
A coupled hydro-mechanical formulation is presented for the analysis of landslide motion during crisis episodes. The mathematical formulation is used to model a natural slope affected by a multiple slip surface failure mechanism, in which pore water pressure evolution was identified as the main cause for movement accelerations. An elasto-plastic constitutive model is adopted for the behaviour of slip surfaces. Material parameters are obtained by combining the available laboratory tests and the back analysis of some crisis episodes. After being calibrated and validated, the model is applied to improve the understanding of the physical processes involved and to predict the landslide behaviour…

Social Media as Platform for Stimulating Urban Changes
2016
Images have always been an important part of city planning – current images of place, images with planned improvements, maps and sketches. Some time ago all that was a private property of stakeholders like planner and client. But nowadays this confidentiality rather much has vanished – no copyrights or competition is noteworthy. Plans do not have their privacy anymore. They are exposed even before they got implemented. This article will display why city planners share the images of their ideas, of their dreams in public (mostly in blogs and social networks) – why it is important for them and what kind of feedback they are waiting for. This article is based on case study where 12 respondents…
Incidencia, factores de riesgo y significado pronóstico de la proteinuria en el trasplante renal. Valor predictivo de la proteinuria precoz sobre la …
2010
La proteinuria es el principal marcador independiente de progresión de enfermedad renal en riñones nativos. En el trasplante renal es indicativa de lesión renal a nivel glomerular y tubulointersticial, y se ha relacionado con una peor supervivencia del injerto y del paciente. No obstante, existen pocas evidencias acerca del papel pronóstico y predictivo de la proteinuria en el trasplante renal, sobre todo en lo que respecta a la proteinuria precoz y de bajo grado. En este trabajo de investigación se ha intentado profundizar en el conocimiento de la proteinuria en nuestra población trasplantada renal que incluye una elevada prevalencia de trasplantes con órganos de donantes con criterios exp…
