Brokers in the Credit Market: An Examination of the Vertical Scope

2014

This paper analyzes the vertical disintegration of the bank loan origination value chain. The main aim is to identify the relevant drivers which cause the emergence of brokers in the credit market which lead to vertical disintegration of the credit origination value chain. Transaction cost economics is the typical perspective of analysis of the vertical scope of banking value chains. This paper argues that in order to capture the drivers underlying the dynamic evolution of the vertical scope of bank loan origination business models, the above perspectives must be combined and further integrated with a capabilities and resource based view and with a modularity perspective.

Effort in Semi-Automatized Subtitling Processes

2020

The presented study investigates the impact of automatic speech recognition (ASR) and assisting scripts on effort during transcription and translation processes, two main subprocesses of interlingual subtitling. Applying keylogging and eye tracking, this study takes a first look at how the integration of ASR impacts these subprocesses. 12 professional subtitlers and 13 translation students were recorded performing two intralingual transcriptions and three translation tasks to evaluate the impact on temporal, technical, and cognitive effort, and split-attention. Measures include editing time, visit count and duration, insertions, and deletions. The main findings show that, in both tasks, ASR…

Annotation of microsporidian genomes using transcriptional signals

2012

EA GenoSol CT3; International audience; High-quality annotation of microsporidian genomes is essential for understanding the biological processes that govern the development of these parasites. Here we present an improved structural annotation method using transcriptional DNA signals. We apply this method to re-annotate four previously annotated genomes, which allow us to detect annotation errors and identify a significant number of unpredicted genes. We then annotate the newly sequenced genome of Anncaliia algerae. A comparative genomic analysis of A. algerae permits the identification of not only microsporidian core genes, but also potentially highly expressed genes encoding membrane-asso…

Projective unification in transitive modal logics

2018

We show that a transitive normal modal logic L enjoys projective unification (i.e. each unifiable formula is projective) if and only if L contains K4D1 ( D1 : ( x → y ) ∨ ( y → x ) ). It means, in particular, that K4D1 (and any of its extensions) is almost structurally complete, i.e. the logic is complete with respect to all non-passive admissible rules. We also characterize non-unifiable formulas and provide an explicit form of the basis for all passive rules over K4G + ( x → x )

Translating with the Internet, Translating with Speechy Project

2011

The Speechy Project (SP henceforth) arose in the last autumn of 2009 with the aim of helping advanced students of English to make the most of the Internet. Since then, this website has been sieving the net in order to pick out the best online resources and classify them orderly into field-related lists. On this trend, several sieves have been performed onto different fields of the English Language. The one which this article is concerned with corresponds to the Translation field that is projected in SP as a neat cooperative network teamed up (and managed) by six volunteers.

ChemInform Abstract: Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Light-Emitting Diodes

2011

The demonstration of colour tunability and high efficiency has brought organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) into the displays and lighting market. However, high production costs due to expensive deposition techniques and the use of reactive materials still limit their market entry, highlighting the need for novel concepts. This has driven the research towards the integration of both organic and inorganic materials into devices that benefit from their respective peculiar properties. The most representative example of this tendency is the application of metal oxides in organic optoelectronics. Metal oxides combine properties such as high transparency, good electrical conductivities, tuneable…

Work Experience Constructed by Polytechnics, Students, and Working Life: Spaces for Connectivity and Transformation

2008

This chapter discusses the role of the connective model of work experience (Griffiths & Guile, 2004; Guile & Griffiths, 2001) in the context of higher education and identifies some of the limits and challenges that may be encountered in seeking to implement connectivity in practice. The question considered here is that of organising placements through cooperation between working life and the polytechnics1 in Finland. The process of introducing connective links appears to be somewhat contradictory but nevertheless negotiable, with plenty of room for improvement. As one teacher in social and health care put it: “Our students, when they go on a placement and they have been given the task, like…

Infrastructure as Interface: Thinking the Urban and the High-speed Railway Station: Italian Case-studies

2013

The recent launching in Italy of a number of large scale urban operations centered around High Speed Railway (HSR) stations has added a wealth of examples and themes to the overall European picture; these go to make up a global point of reference for other countries that are, in this period, undertaking the construction of their own HSR networks. Above and beyond the territorial questions often linked to the issue, further research investigating the architectural aspect of these operations would be highly relevant, but is rather lacking. Instead, we shall be focusing on current HSR stations in Italy, such as Turin Porta Susa, Florence Belfiore and Rome Tiburtina, and comparing them briefly,…

Crisis and Opportunities Variables always Addressed Simultaneously in Effective Management

2013

Abstract Understanding the causes, duration and consequences of the crisis and the means to exit it are far from being regarded as sufficiently understood and operationalized. From the general components of the crisis, there was a necessity to be defined and managed separately the subjective component (disorientation, confusion) and the objective component, which are unequivocally different. They have to be operationalized into strategies, programs and tactical procedures to traverse and overcome the crisis with minimal loss. The paper also deals with the opportunities that crisis can create and with the measures necessary to identify and exploit these.
