Comparing reference point based interactive multiobjective optimization methods without a human decision maker
2022
AbstractInteractive multiobjective optimization methods have proven promising in solving optimization problems with conflicting objectives since they iteratively incorporate preference information of a decision maker in the search for the most preferred solution. To find the appropriate interactive method for various needs involves analysis of the strengths and weaknesses. However, extensive analysis with human decision makers may be too costly and for that reason, we propose an artificial decision maker to compare a class of popular interactive multiobjective optimization methods, i.e., reference point based methods. Without involving any human decision makers, the artificial decision make…
Aural-Based Detection and Assessment of Real Versus Artificially Synchronized String Quartet Performance
2013
In a musical ensemble musicians can influence each other’s performance in terms not only of timing but also in other aspects of the performance such as dynamics, intonation, and timbre. The goal of this work is to test whether this influence can be perceived by a listener from an audio recording solely. We utilize a set of string quartet recordings where every piece is recorded in two experimental conditions: the solo condition, where each musician performs alone; and the ensemble condition, where the musicians perform together after a brief rehearsal. Using state-of-the-art audio analysis/synthesis methods, we artificially synchronize the record-ings in the solo condition note-by-note, thu…
Interessi moratori, usura e c.d. clausola di salvaguardia
2020
The essay deals with the issue of the relevance of interest for non perfomance within the abstract usury and provides a positive response to their inclusion in the global effective rate of the particular contract (so called TEG) even in the absence of their consideration in the context of the average global effective rate (so called TEGM). The theses formulated in the study concern: the relevance of interest for non perfomarce in the usury; the need for their evaluation combined with other items of remuneration, cost or expense; the absence of any impediment to this assessment linked to the non-inclusion of interest for non performance within the effective rate global average of the homogen…
Lessons learned on student engagement from the nature of pervasive socio‐digital interests and related network participation of adolescents
2021
The rise of modern socio-digital technologies has fundamentally changed the everyday environments in which young people communicate with each other and cultivate interests. To gain a more sophisticated understanding of this phenomenon, this study provides in-depth, qualitative insights into adolescents’ experiences of their socio-digital developmental ecologies. The 15 interview participants were recruited based on a previously conducted questionnaire. The semi-structured theme interview addressed the socio-digital aspects of the participants’ interest-driven behaviours and related networks with the aid of participant-generated egocentric maps. The data not only qualitatively enrich the pic…

Antecedents and Outcomes of Absorptive Capacity : Three Studies in the Spanish Manufacturing Sector
2013
En los últimos años, las investigaciones en dirección estratégica han señalado al conocimiento como uno de los recursos claves que permiten la generación de ventajas competitivas. No obstante, para la creación y mantenimiento de dichas ventajas es necesario el desarrollo de capacidades que permitan la transferencia y uso eficiente de dicho conocimiento, incluso en condiciones marcadas por la agitación y el dinamismo del entorno. En este marco, la capacidad de absorción ha sido destacada como una de las capacidades esenciales que proporciona a las organizaciones la habilidad de asimilar, transformar y explotar con éxito el conocimiento externo. No obstante, a pesar de las constantes contribu…
The influence of international ownership on the performance of microfinance institutions
2016
Master thesis Business Administration - University of Agder 2016 The microfinance industry is experiencing rapid growth and financing this growth is a legitimate concern. During the past decade, international commercial funding in the form of international equity and debt has played a remarkable role in this regard. Until now, microfinance research that focus on the performance implications of international funding of MFIs is inadequate even though microfinance literature is voluminous. Our study focuses on the presence of international shareholders in microfinance institutions. Using data from 148 Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) in 51 countries, we empirically determine MFI characteristic…
Systematic review of the evidence of interoceptive awareness in performers
2016
Ismael Pedraza, 2016. Systematic review of the evidence of interoceptive awareness in performers. Master s thesis in Sport and Exercise Psychology. Department of Sport Sciences. University of Jyväskylä. Pp. 53. Interoception is the conscious awareness of internal sensations coming from autonomic responses of the body including inputs such as visceral sensations, heart rate, sensations of tight muscles, etc. Those sensations are experienced due to the autonomic nervous system that is in charge of controlling and regulating bodily functions and cannot be manipulated intentionally. Previous research on interoception in performers has shown that a relationship exists between our inner bodily se…
Teams’ perceptions of charismatic leadership: The role of average perceptions and homogeneity in predicting team performance via intra-team communica…
2023
Este estudio investiga si las percepciones intraequipo del carisma de los líderes se relacionan con el rendimiento del equipo a través de la calidad de la comunicación del equipo. Diferencio entre los roles de las percepciones promedio del liderazgo carismático y la homogeneidad de los miembros del equipo en estas percepciones. Se espera que tanto percepciones promedio más altas como una mayor homogeneidad predigan un mayor rendimiento del equipo a través de la calidad de la comunicación intraequipo. Además, planteo la hipótesis de que los efectos positivos de las percepciones promedio del carisma en la calidad de la comunicación y el rendimiento estarán moderados por la homogeneidad en est…
