Trend Following with Momentum Versus Moving Average: A Tale of Differences
2018
Despite the ever-growing interest in trend following and a series of publications in academic journals, there is still a great shortage of theoretical results on the properties of trend following rules. Our paper fills this gap by comparing and contrasting the two most popular trend following rules, the Momentum (MOM) and Moving Average (MA) rules, from a theoretical perspective. Our approach is based on the return-based formulation of trading rules and modelling the price trends by an autoregressive return process. We provide theoretical results on the similarity between various trend following rules and the forecast accuracy of trading rules. Our results show that the similarity between t…
Public acceptance of semi-automated truck platoon driving. A comparison between Germany and California
2020
Abstract Platooning technology aims at achieving fuel savings by reducing the distance between two or more electronically coupled vehicles. This technology has recently been tested on public highways with heavy trucks in Germany and California. The objective of this study is to assess the level of acceptance among other road users as well as influencing factors of acceptance. An online questionnaire was administered in Germany and California with a total of N = 536 participants. They received information about truck platoon driving (level-1 and level-2 automation) and answered questions about their attitudes towards the technology as well as their behavioral intention to cooperate with the …
Architetture nel cassetto
2017
Lo studio riguarda la lettura di due progetti mai realizzati di Gae Aulenti, del 1963 e del 1972, la Casa nel bosco e la Villa a Capalbio. Si vuole dimostrare che la ricostruzione congetturale attraverso i modelli digitali è un atto chiarificatore di alcuni aspetti dell’architettura demandati, spesso, soltanto alla parola scritta; attraverso la costruzione di inedite rappresentazioni le parole prendono forma attraverso un nuovo corpus figurativo; il modello digitale non è soltanto l’immagine virtuale dell’edificio ma esso assurge a immagine possibile diventandone la sua sola realtà esistenziale. The study concerns the reading of two unbuilt projects by Gae Aulenti, of 1963 and 1972, the Hou…
Giustizia ambientale e recupero delle aree verdi: il caso di Palermo
2021
L’urban shrinkage è diventata una questione centrale tanto nel dibattito scientifico quanto nell’agenda politica di diverse città europee. Secondo i dati EUROSTAT (2019), circa il 40% delle città europee con più di 200.000 abitanti stanno perdendo popolazione; una contrazione che si esplicita maggiormente, sotto il profilo spaziale, in una progressiva sottoutilizzazione del patrimonio edificato, così come nel contestuale incremento di aree e terreni in stato di abbandono. In questo quadro controverso di mutazione strutturale della città, così come l’abbiamo conosciuta, le politiche urbane alla prova in Europa tentano di declinare la decrescita quale occasione strategica di investimento sull…
Isolation and characterization of twenty microsatellite loci for the ballan wrasse, Labrus bergylta
2014
Published version of an article in the journal: Conservation Genetics Resources. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s12686-013-0114-3 Open Access We developed 20 nuclear microsatellite DNA markers from tri- and tetra-nucleotide enriched libraries in the ballan wrasse. In our dataset (N = 241), the detected number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 12, and the observed and expected heterozygosity varied from 0.251 to 0.778 and from 0.286 to 0.804, respectively. Cross amplification with the goldsinny wrasse resulted in two usable loci whereas the corkwing wrasse amplified in one locus. The ballan wrasse is an important resource for aquaculture as it delouses fa…
Phenomenal Woman En fenomenologisk undersøkelse av spenningsfeltet mellom kvinneidentitet og forbrukerkultur i utvalgte feministiske samtidskunstverk.
2015
Masteroppgave kunstfag- Universitetet i Agder, 2015 Denne masteravhandlingen undersøker det sammensatte feltet feministisk samtidskunst. Den forholder seg til to overordnede begreper; kvinneidentitet og forbrukerkultur og diskuterer spenningsfeltet mellom dem i analyser av tre feministiske kunstverk, og i samfunnet for øvrig. Analysene gjøres av verk hentet fra den feministiske samleutstillingen ‘The Beginning is Always Today’ som Sørlandets Kunstmuseum (SKMU) satte opp i slutten av 2013 i forbindelse med 100 års jubileet for stemmerett for kvinner i Norge. De tre verkene avhandlingens analysedel bygges på er ‘A Look of Love’ (1996, Dorthe Jelstrup), ‘Street Haunting’ (2010, Nanna Debois Bu…
Translingvistiskie elementi biznesa medijos
2018
Vēsturiskā saskarsme starp kultūrām, tehnoloģisko inovāciju parādīšanās, globalizācija un internacionalizācija ir tikai daži no faktoriem, kas ir veicinājuši angļu valodas globālu lietojumu un leksisko aizgūšanu no angļu valodas. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir analizēt anglicismu lietojumu rakstos par uzņēmējdarbību Spānijas tiešsaistes laikrakstā „El País”. Kvantitatīvā un kvalitatīvā analīze tiek izmantota, lai klasificētu un analizētu apkopoto datu krājumu, kas sastāv no 164 anglicismiem. Galvenie rezultāti liecina par to, ka ziņu rakstos parasti tiek izmantoti nepielāgoti anglicismi. Tas ir acīm redzams, ka valodas uzskatīšana par fiksētu sistēmu ar noteiktām robežām ir apstrīdēta, un to ierosin…
Jean Itard en clave de educación inclusiva
2016
Jean Itard ha sido valorado tradicionalmente como el padre de la Educación Especial. Un análisis de sus Informes de 1801 y 1807 sobre la educación de Víctor, el joven salvaje de L’Aveyron desde la perspectiva de la Educación Inclusiva permite descubrir en él algunos rasgos significativos que ayudan a considerarlo como un claro precursor de ésta. Tales son: su reivindicación del derecho a la educación de los más desfavorecidos y la aplicación de un programa de formación integral, así como de un plan de rehabilitación individualizado a partir de las capacidades, limitaciones, necesidades y aspiraciones del alumno. Sus aportaciones metodológicas adelantan algunas de las propuestas actuales d…
El reto de la internacionalización para las Pequeñas y Medianas Empresas españolas
2017
While many studies have widely worked out on finding out the different relationships underlying the birth and prompt development of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), we argue that getting an in depth approach to the problematic scene that takes place once they are keen on having a successful internationalization plan may have been understudied. Therefore, the aim of this research is that of identifying critical challenges faced by Spanish SMEs during an internationalization process. We do so by taking a qualitative approach. The current research contributes to the literature by adding new and renewed perspectives to the field, thanks to the qualitative analysis carried out through four i…
On rules and rule-following: obeying rules blindly
2003
Abstract The theoretical importance and explanatory value of ‘rules’ have frequently been questioned. This article discusses two different lines of criticism presented by the representatives of ethnomethodology and connectionism. It is argued that in both approaches a ‘rule’ is understood in a limited sense. Consequently their criticism does not give grounds to refute the notion of rules. The assumption that the later Wittgenstein proposes to reject ‘rules’ altogether can also be seen as mistaken. Wittgenstein attempts to dissolve the conceptual problems associated with the notion by considering it as praxis . His rule-considerations are compatible with an emergent approach to language, for…
