Speculative and hedging activities in the European Carbon Market
2015
Abstract We explore the dynamics of the speculative and hedging activities in European futures carbon markets by using volume and open interest data. A comparison of the three phases in the European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS) reveals that (i) Phase II of the EU ETS seems to be the most speculative phase to date and (ii) the highest degree of speculative activity for every single phase occurs at the moment of listing the contracts for the first time. A seasonality analysis identifies a higher level of speculation in the first quarter of each year, related to the schedule of deadlines of the EU ETS. In addition, a time series analysis confirms that most of the speculative activity…
'Not as safe as I believed': Differences in perceived and self-reported cycling behavior between riders and non-riders
2021
Cycling behavior remains a key issue for explaining several traffic causalities occurring every day. However, recent studies have shown how the assessment of the own safety-related behaviors on the road may substantially differ from how third parties assess them. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the differences between cyclists’ self-reported behavior and the proxy-reported behavior that other (non-cyclist) road users perceive from bike riders. For this purpose, this study used data from two samples: (i) 1064 cyclists (M = 32.83 years) answering the Cycling Behavior Questionnaire—CBQ, and (ii) 1070 non-cyclists (M = 30.83 years) answering an adapted version of the CBQ for externa…
Recenti sviluppi giurisprudenziali sul tema dell'individuabilità dei beni da sottoporre a confisca nei reati tributari
2020
Il lavoro analizza il recente arresto giurisprudenziale della Suprema corte, che riprende un filone di giurisprudenza già consolidato, secondo il quale la confisca per equivalente nei reati tributari può essere disposta anche in assenza di un precedente provvedimento cautelare di sequestro. In particolare si affronta il tema se nella confisca per equivalente applicabile ai reati tributari, il provvedimento possa estendersi anche ai cd. "beni futuri" e cioè se il giudice che emette il provvedimento ablativo possa soltanto limitarsi ad indicare l'importo complessivo da sequestrare, rimettendo l'individuazione specifica dei beni da apprendere e la verifica della corrispondenza del loro valore …
New Nationalism and Higher Education
2020
This book closes with a discussion of new nationalism and the future of Finnish higher education from a language policies viewpoint, in the meeting points of the different national and global spheres. I will first discuss the nature of “new” nationalism. Then, the main discourses of educational, economic and epistemic nationalisms will be discussed. The next section presents global scenarios from the perspective of the intertwined nature of national and international. I will finish with a look into the future of Finnish higher education and the implications of current new nationalist trends for language policies, nationalism, alternate futures and the role of language in all this.
Urban Smartness: Perspectives Arising in the Periphéria Project
2012
The paper discusses the concept of “urban smartness” starting from the early results of the Peripheria Project. Peripheria is a 30-month pilot B action funded by the European Commission under the CIP ICT PSP Programme and it aims at deploying convergent Future Internet platforms and services for the promotion of sustainable lifestyles in and across emergent networks of “smart” peripheral cities in Europe. Peripheria develops the Living Lab premise of shifting technology R&D out of the laboratory and into the real world in a systemic blend of technological with social innovation. It defines five archetypical “Arenas”—specific urban settings or innovation playgrounds, with defined social feat…
Future Linear Colliders: Detector R&D, Jet Reconstruction and Top Physics Potential
2016
RESUMEN: Durante el siglo XX, los descubrimientos de nuevas partículas y las medidas realizadas en los colisionadores, junto con el progreso de la física teórica, nos permitieron formular el Modelo Estándar (SM) de las interacciones entre los constituyentes de la materia. El descubrimiento del bosón de Higgs en el LHC fue un gran paso en nuestra compren- sión de las interacciones fundamentales de la naturaleza y la estructura de la materia descrita por el Modelo Estándar. Con el fin de establecer el mecanismo de ruptura de simetría electrodébil, todas las propiedades del bosón de Higgs (masa, acoplamientos, amplitud de desintegración, espín) deben medirse con precisión. El LHC tiene excelen…
New physics implication of Higgs precision measurements
2018
Studying the properties of the Higgs boson can be an important window to explore the physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). In this work, we present studies on the implications of the Higgs precision measurements at future Higgs Factories. We perform a global fit to various Higgs search channels to obtain the 95 % C.L. constraints on the model parameter spaces of Two Higgs Double Model (2HDM) and Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). In the 2HDM, we analyze tree level effects as well as one-loop contributions from the heavy Higgs bosons. The strong constraints on $\cos(\beta-\alpha)$, heavy Higgs masses and their mass splitting are complementary to direct search of the LHC as well …
Perspectivas de futuro y propuestas de recursos terapéuticos para adictos de edad avanzada
2010
Objetivos: detectar las principales necesidades y carencias en las diferentes áreas vitales, -sanitarias, formativas, laborables, etc.- de este colectivo, para poder desarrollar estrategias de tratamiento que permitan dar respuesta a las mismas, proponiendo para ello el diseño de recursos terapéuticos potencialmente capaces de cubrir esas demandas. Material y métodos: estudio descriptivo realizado en el Cad de San Blas con una muestra de 103 pacientes adictos de edad superior a los 50 años. Se utilizaron como fuente de datos las historias clínicas, estudiando una serie de variables de diverso tipo, lo que nos permitió detectar las necesidades del colectivo a estudio y consiguientemente hace…
Nuovi diritti umani e nuovi soggetti: i diritti delle generazioni future
The thesis deals with the subjects of rights of future generations through both philosophical and legal perspective. The Introduction considers the phenomenon of new subjects in legal theory and, more widely, the outbreak of new human rights related to the technological development. The First Chapter faces the problem of the definition of “future generations” and identifies three different approaches. The first one, the “Remotist” approach, defines “future generations” just as the future humankind extremely distant from the present time. The second, the “Proximist” approach, looks at “future generations” as a concept involving exclusively our direct descendants. The third one, the “Indeterm…
Understanding youth athletes' life designing processes through dream day narratives
2018
A number of studies have investigated career pathways in elite sport with retrospective designs, but few studies have explored how youth elite athletes construct narratives about their future lives and how their dreams and hopes relate to their careers in sport and other life contexts. We drew on career construction theory to understand youth elite athletes' dreams for the future and prominent life themes. Seventeen Finnish youth elite athletes (7 men, 10 women) in the first year of upper secondary sport school participated in the study. They were asked to make visual representations of their “dream days”, and these were used as aids for reflection in low-structured interviews where partici…
