Market risk reporting in banking overcoming the limits of IAS/IFRS and Basel regulation
2017
Market risk in banking activity is becoming a more severe issue day by day for several reasons. Analysing it from a regulatory point of view is fundamental for assessing whether or not banks are in the conditions of disclosing a satisfactory degree of information about their market risk exposure. The two regulatory constraints to consider are International Accounting Standards (IAS/IFRS) and the Basel regulation. Both of them seem to put too many constraints on banks. They turn out to be over-over-regulated. Even if regulators put many efforts in trying to provide a useful regulation for banks' risk reporting and capital adequacy, we are still far from a good regulation. The regulatory proc…
On the Marketization of the Academic Review Process
2014
Pressure to change the academic reviewing system is growing. We discuss two groups of proposals for introducing market mechanisms. First, Prufer and Zetland (2009), based on Havrilesky (1975), create an auction system: manuscripts are submitted and auctioned to editors in "academic dollars", while citations earn credits for authors. Second, Fox and Petchey (2010), after Riyanto and Yetkiner (2002), create a "PubCred" currency, in which referees are paid and can then pay for their own submissions, while Aarssen (2008) and White and Ernest (2010) introduce hard cash remuneration for reviewers. These systems would adversely affect editors, referees, and authors alike, and would soon prove econ…
IPS/UMS/WNGS/MUS 2008 Workshop - Message from the Workshop Organizers
2008
It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the 2008 IPS/UMS/WNGS/MUS workshop held in conjunction with the International Conference on Multimedia and Ubiquitous Engineering (MUE2008), Hanwha Resort Haeundae, Busan, Korea. The workshop covers topics on ubiquitous multimedia services and security in ubiquitous multimedia systems. All the submitted papers have undergone rigorous review process by the technical program committee members and external reviewers. We have selected 17 best papers for presentation and publication in the conference proceedings.
Editorial: CBCT special issue
2014
In the dental community, it is a common belief that CBCT was invented for oral and maxillofacial imaging. Of course, we know that this is a myth since the technique of a volumetric CT is indeed much older and dates back to the late 1970s.1,2 Considering that CT was introduced in 1973, its volumetric counterpart was developed very soon thereafter driven by the need for high spatial and temporal resolution that a conventional CT at that time was not able to achieve. However, successful marketing of the technique indeed was much later, and certainly a consequence of the publication of “A new volumetric CT machine for dental imaging based on the cone-beam technique: preliminary results” by Mozz…
Developing doctoral students' / researchers’ understanding of the journal peer-review process
2021
A growing body of knowledge has confirmed that the journal peer-review process is an integral part of the scientific publication process and provides demonstrable benefits to journal editors and authors. This study aims to develop doctoral students’ understanding of the journal peer-review process and highlight the most common errors and pitfalls reviewers identify in novice authors’ manuscripts, which could lead to rejection. A qualitative content analysis research method was used to analyse the primary data as experience collected from senior researchers, editors and associate editors. Among the major contributions of this study is an interactive diagram that provides an overview of the j…
