Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of manager ability on a firm’s choice of lease classification and the decision to capitalize vs lease firm-specific assets. Design/methodology/approach The authors use regression analysis to examine the association between manager ability, lease classification and asset specificity. Findings Using 31,110 firm-year observations from 1998 to 2013, the authors find a significant positive relationship between manager ability and the decision to classify leases as operating. The authors also find that high-ability managers are more likely to capitalize, rather than lease, specialized firm-specific assets. Research limitations/implications The results imply that manager ability influences the choice of lease classification, which provides some support for the recent changes to lease accounting in Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2016-02. The authors also show that asset specificity may serve as a mitigating factor in high-ability managers’ preference for operating leases, which implies that high-ability managers’ concerns with operational efficiency outweigh the benefits of off-balance sheet financing in their purchasing decisions if the asset in question is firm-specific. Practical implications The findings may be useful to boards of directors, investors and accounting academics concerned with the role that managerial ability plays in operational decision making and financial reporting. Originality/value The results imply that high-ability managers prefer off-balance sheet financing, which is unlikely to limit their access to external capital, but that this relationship is mitigated if the firm requires highly specialized assets.

Abstract:
We are interested in investors’ interaction with portfolio managers and investigate the manager’s optimal strategy under cumulative prospect theory. We create model to characterize the relative anxiety about investing in risk assets and trust in the manager. Besides, we research how anxiety and trust affect the manager’s fee and the investors’ portfolios under cumulative prospect theory. Compared with previous work, our main novelty is that we focus on a dynamic portfolio selection. In other words, we formulate the optimal problem under multi-period setting. Besides, relying on the sub-game perfect investment strategies, we attain an optimal fee in multi-period. Another contribution is to discuss multiple risky assets. We use elliptic distribution to reduce a high-dimensional optimal problem to a one-dimensional optimal one. We obtain the CPT-investors’ portfolio for multiple risky assets under a dynamic framework. Based on this result, we study the manager’s optimal fee. It is valuable to say that we explore the optimal strategy for the manager under cumulative prospect theory but not the classical mean-variance preferences.

Abstract:
Investment managers use financial numbers to assess the quality of their portfolios, which requires them to estimate the market value of their assets—i.e., the priced trading of such assets. Prior research has shown that investment managers tend to disregard information that does not easily integrate into financial numbers, such as environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria. We argue that when investment managers use visuals to incarnate ESG criteria, they are more likely to accommodate societal issues in their financial decisions. We undertook a three-year ethnography of an asset management company to better understand how investment managers respond to ESG criteria. We found that fixed-income investment managers attempted to include ESG criteria in their financial models by financializing the data, so that ESG-related information could be commensurated with their existing models. Equity investment managers, on the other hand, did not financialize ESG issues, but introduced visuals, specifically emojis, to incarnate ESG issues. In this way, ESG criteria were juxtaposed against, rather than integrated into, financial criteria. In doing so, equity managers created a sense of dissonance between financial numbers and the visuals, which fostered creative friction. The visuals permitted equity managers to analyze the ESG criteria not only for their financial insights, but also for the social and environmental information that could not be financialized. We discuss the implications of these findings for prior research on financialization and calculative devices.

Abstract:
A dystopian play representing a world based entirely on the number of assets people have. (Assets - points equal to the cash owned by each person.) People accumulate assets since childhood; the number of their assets determines their education, access to food, medicines, work. The main conflict is between the material represented by the Branch Managers who direct the assets flow, and the spiritual, represented by those who oppose them. The play is set in a city recently taken by the Branch. The new government promises progress and better life and most people support it. But there are others who disagree because they cannot stand the prohibition of music, books, parties.

Abstract:
>Magister Scientiae - MSc
Motivated by the growing attraction of the mutual fund industries across the world, this research seeks to explore the economic benefits contributed by the South African equity unit trust managers over the period from 1 January 2002 to 2 September 2012. The performance is examined over two sub-periods and the overall examination period, where the first sub-period captures the performance of the unit trusts before the 2007/2008 global financial crisis and the second sub-period captures the devastation in performance of the unit trusts after the crisis. Active fund managers are usually presumed to possess superior abilities in asset allocation, security selection and market timing that assist them to consistently generate abnormal returns on a risk-adjusted basis. This research attempts to test this claim by making a distinction in performance attribution between returns generated as a result of managerial skills and those generated as a result of random chance. The study emerges by first examining the risk-adjusted performance of the South African unit trust managers against the performance of a broad market index proxied by FTSE/JSE All Share Index (ALSI). Six different risk-adjusted performance measures are employed for this purpose. Regardless of the different applications of risk parameters employed by each performance measure, the results reveal that on average, most of the South African unit trust managers do not outperform the market on a consistent basis. The majority of the unit trust managers show good performance during the first sub-period, with subsequent inferiority in performance during the second sub-period. The study further examines the performance of the South African unit trust managers relative to the pre-specified sector benchmarks constructed by following a set of performance attribution techniques proposed by Yu (2008) and Hsieh (2010). The objective of this test is to determine whether the equity unit trust managers are able to create value through their security selection skill in addition to their asset allocation decisions. Consistent with international evidence, the results reveal that returns generated by South African unit trusts are driven mainly by asset allocation activities and stock picking of asset managers do not add significant value. In addition, test results also indicate that South African equity unit trust managers are not good at managing risk as the majority of the unit trusts exhibit higher standard deviation compared to their benchmarks. Furthermore, the study examines the economic value contribution of the South African equity unit trust managers through their market timing activities. In particular, the study attempts to determine whether or not unit trust managers possess the ability to correctly anticipate future market movements. To achieve this, two market timing performance models developed by Treynor-Mazuy (1966) and Henrikson-Merton (1981) are employed. The results reveal that, regardless of the changes in market conditions, South African equity unit trust mangers delivered significantly inferior timing performance in both sub-periods and the overall examination periods that actually destroyed fund values. The paper concludes by stating that investors are better off by investing in cost-effective passive investment vehicles such as exchange traded funds (ETF's).

Abstract:
This study examines the impact of knowledge, experience, goal orientation, ethical orientation, and personality traits on managers' and accountants' abilities to recognize misappropriation of assets. Participants included students and professionals. The student group included upper-level accounting majors and upper-level management majors. The professional group included students enrolled in an introductory accounting course for their MBA program and internal auditors from a variety of organizations. Findings in the study show that accounting students assessed the possibility that fraud was in progress at a higher level than the management students, suggesting that the accounting students acquire basic knowledge about fraud from the accounting curriculum, which improves performance. The effect of reading articles was marginally significant for assessing the possibility of fraud, showing that students who have read or who are required to read articles better identify the clues associated with employee theft. For the professional group, the effects of academic major and fraud specific training led to identifying the possibility of employee theft at a higher level. It appears that training sessions help professionals in identifying the risk factors associated with fraudulent activity, producing benefits to organizations that far outweigh the costs. Full-time work experience was marginally significant (p Several findings of the additional analysis using structural equation modeling extend the audit decision making literature by showing certain factors that enhance knowledge and improve decision making as experience increases. Higher learning goal orientation scores, mediated by experience and ethical position, should lead to more accurate identification of risk factors that are commonly associated with fraudulent activity. These findings should encourage firms to draw upon the knowledge of experts as they develop expert decision aids and training sessions for internal audit departments. Organizations should also integrate actual instances of misappropriation of assets into training sessions on fraud prevention and detection while developing and improving models of training sessions and expert decision aids for unstructured, complex tasks.

Abstract:
Infrastructure—communications, energy, transport, waste, and water networks—is critical for economic activity and social well-being. Practitioners, politicians, and economists advocate high levels of investment in infrastructure under the rubric of 'planning for growth' (or the 'push' paradigm). This paradigm relies on complex public-private arrangements in the name of public interest. These seemingly reasonable arrangements are, however, not delivering their promise. Evidence shows that the needs of infrastructure users in rich and poor countries are not being met, many private providers of infrastructure earn rich returns, assets are rarely built in time or on budget, and there is tremendous waste in the operation of many infrastructure industries. No other sector could survive the profligacy and slack common in infrastructure. I distil the following primary propositions of the accepted wisdom, which is inspired by mainstream economics: First, infrastructure assets necessarily entail high sunk costs and large economies of scale. Consequently, assets last for very long periods of time, and they cannot be readily moved. Second, infrastructure outputs are homogeneous. Third, one network fits all users (large and small). Fourth, infrastructure users, even large ones, are likely to have weak bargaining power in procurement of infrastructure outputs. I challenge these four propositions of the conventional wisdom by putting forward alternative hypotheses. First, instead of being monolithic and costly, infrastructures can be assembled (and disassembled) as flexible modules for specific users in specific places. Drawing on option pricing theory in quantitative finance, I recast infrastructures as 'portfolios of real options'. Second, infrastructure outputs are, in fact, heterogeneous and differentiated services. Third, one infrastructure network cannot fit all users, either today or in the future. Users are remarkably heterogeneous, not only in terms of unique user preferences but also in terms of spatial location. Infrastructure networks need to evolve in tandem with user needs or risk spatial, temporal, and relational obsolescence. Finally, users, large and small, are adept at exerting strong bargaining power in procuring infrastructure both prior to and after rendering durable and immobile investments. Users also strategically deploy intermediaries, e.g. futures and Over-the-Counter (OTC) exchanges, and real estate developers, to negotiate private contracts for infrastructure services. These findings are supported by two case studies. The first case study details the process by which ThyssenKrupp, a large steel company, bargained for its infrastructure by locating to a manufacturing site in the U.S. The second case study focuses on residents of Lavasa, one of the largest property developments in India. Here, small users of infrastructure exert strong bargaining power with the aid of intermediaries—the real estate developer and the property asset manager. New departures in infrastructure provision are urgently needed at a practical level. Poor investments rendered today—particularly if costly, inflexible, and durable—will suffocate tomorrow’s possibilities. The spatial, temporal, and relational approach proposed in this dissertation begins to offer an alternative account of how tomorrow can be modularly shaped.

In this article, we propose a reference model to identify the maturity level of the cyber intelligence threat process. This proposal considers the dark web as an important source of cyber threats causing a latent risk that organizations do not consider in their cybersecurity strategies. The proposed model aims to increase the maturity level of the process through a set of proposed controls according to the information found on the dark web. The model consists of three phases: (1) Identification of information assets using cyber threat intelligence tools. (2) Diagnosis of the exposure of information assets. (3) Proposal of controls according to the proposed categories and criteria. The validation of the proposal was carried out in an insurance institution in Lima, Peru, with data obtained by the institution. The measurement was made with artifacts that allowed to obtain an initial value of the current panorama of the company. Preliminary results showed 196 emails and passwords exposed on the dark web of which one corresponded to the technology manager of the company under evaluation. With this identification, it was diagnosed that the institution was at a “Normal” maturity level, and from the implementation of the proposed controls, the “Advanced” level was reached.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This paper investigates fund manager performance in order to determine whether some fund managers are better than others. The focus of the paper is to examine if fund performance is related to the characteristics of fund managers that may indicate ability, knowledge, or effort. The data consists of South African regulated unit trust growth and growth-and-income funds investigated over a seven-year period, and comprehensive and detailed information on the various fund managers supplied by the MoneyMate database from the University of Stellenbosch. The research objective has been to find out whether fund manager characteristics help explain fund performance and risk. Stepwise regression analysis as the research methodology is applied, where the two dependent variables, performance and risk, are regressed on the eight independent variables; manager age, tenure of the manager with the fund, years of education, whether the manager hold a MBA or CA/CFA qualification, management team size, fund age and fund objective. The findings of the study are highly significant and show that fund performance and risk are impacted upon by managers' qualifications. One can expect better risk-adjusted performance from a fund manager who holds a CA/CFA and/or MBA qualification. Results show that these managers outperform managers without these qualifications.

Die fokus van die studie ondersoek of fondsprestasie verband hou met die eienskappe van fondsbestuurders. Die data bestaan uit Suid-Afrikaanse effektetrust groei en groei-en-inkomste fondse bestudeer oor 'n periode van sewe jaar, en omvattende besonderhede van die fondsbestuurders soos verskaf deur die MoneyMate databasis van die Universiteit van Stellenbosch. Die doel van die navorsing is om bewyse te vind wat mag aandui dat fondsbestuurdereienskappe wel fondsprestasie en risiko's kan beïnvloed en verduidelik. Die metode van stapsgewyse regressie word toegepas, waar die impak van die agt onafhanklike veranderlikes (ouderdom van die fondsbestuurder, sy jare by die fonds, sy aantal jare van tersiêre onderrig, of die bestuurder 'n MBA of CA/CFA kwalifikasie besit, spangrootte, ouderdom van die fonds en die fonds se doelstelling) op die twee afhanklike veranderlikes (prestasie en risiko) ondersoek word. Die bevindinge van die studie is hoogs betekenisvol en dui daarop dat 'n fonds se prestasie en risiko's wel beïnvloed word deur die kwalifikasies van die fondsbestuurder. Beter risiko aangepaste prestasies kan verwag word van bestuurders wat 'n MBA en/of CA/CFA kwalifikasie besit. Die resultate toon wel dat fonds bestuurders ander bestuurders uitpresteer wat nie daardie kwalifikasie besit nie.

Abstract:
Risk assessment is an essential part of an effective transportation asset management program. The 2012 surface transportation bill, Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century, requires state departments of transportation (DOTs) to establish risk- and performance-based asset management programs for the National Highway System. While the bill’s provisions include requirements only for pavement and bridge assets, they also recommend that DOTs consider other ancillary highway assets such as culverts and earth retaining structures, and hazards such as rockfalls and landslides. This research introduces an integrated risk framework with supporting algorithms to provide for the integration of ancillary assets and hazards into existing transportation asset management systems, and facilitate budget planning and resource allocation. The framework, Highway Assets Risk Management Decision-Support System (HARM-DSS), adopts a system-of systems perspective in defining and evaluating performance, and analyzing and addressing risk. The algorithms are developed using multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) and risk analysis methods; value functions are applied to scale performance attributes, and additive weighting to integrate multiple risk criteria. The methodology is applied at the corridor-level to analyze three different case studies using data with notable variability from New York, Minnesota and Oregon. The cases demonstrate the process for developing descriptive and visual information on multi-asset/hazard corridors, with sparse to medium data, in order to identify corridors that are vulnerable to failure, as well as exhibit high risk of failure within a transportation network. The results demonstrate that HARM-DSS can be applied across competing corridors or alternatives to produce descriptive and intuitive results that decision makers can use in budget planning and resource allocation. This research extends the risk-based thinking on transportation asset management, by moving it from a silo-ed to an integrated analytical platform that considers multiple non-homogenous assets and hazards simultaneously. It identifies data deficiencies and offers recommendations on the requisite data collection on asset inventory and condition to improve objectivity in the analytical process and confidence in the analysis results. In addition, it offers recommendations on the appropriate use of expert knowledge in supplementing existing data deficiencies in the interim. This work is potentially useful to decision makers involved in distributing resources to preserve the reliability and resiliency of transportation systems, as well as meet the existing performance- and risk-based Federal mandates for transportation asset management.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to answer the research question of how a service company (ServiceCo) could achieve a transfer price of its services. This is of particular interest, due to the growth of service firms that have rapidly increased and surpassed the manufacturing firms, as well as the dominant logic shifting towards services. However, the problem with this field of study is that transfer pricing with regards to the service industry, is a rather unexplored phenomenon in which the guidelines and theories are mostly directed towards manufacturing firms. This study uses a single case study approach where ServiceCo’s organizational characteristics were analyzed in order to attain the information required to understand how ServiceCo could achieve a transfer price of its services. Furthermore, this study uses the Eccles (1983) MAP and the OECD Guidelines, as well as incorporating Porter’s (1985) value chain. This study assesses that ServiceCo, in its current state, uses a sub-optimal transfer pricing method of its services. Therefore, a change in the transfer pricing method was suggested to ServiceCo. Given the organizational characteristics of ServiceCo, the results led to the conclusion that ServiceCo could benefit from a residual analysis in the profit split method, in which an actual full cost plus mark-up compensation could be used on its routine functions, and the residual profit could be split between the entities based on the intangible assets employed, functions performed and the risks carried.

Abstract:
The objective of this research is to understand what risk management processes are currently in place amongst active European equity asset managers, and to determine which practises are most effective. The focus of this research is on active equity portfolios within the European markets. The thesis is divided in five chapters: 1) Introduction, 2) Introduction and literature of risk management in financial institutions, 3) How risk management is currently used in European funds; a survey of 200 asset managers and hedge funds is undertaken to identify current approaches to risk management, and identify what might need to be improved, chapter, 4) using a unique survey, a comprehensive analysis of the level of risk that pension fund clients (Board Members, Chief Financial Officers, and upper management of organisations with pension funds under third-party management), family offices that invest in hedge funds and Intermediate Financial Advisors (IFAs in UK) are willing to accept, and 5) Conclusions. This will cover the financial crisis and the on-going subsequent recovery. The key findings from Chapter 2 are that there is limited literature in this subject, from Chapter 3 that there is significant issues within the risk management systems utilized by the various asset managers and that there is a need to improve considerably these systems and from Chapter 4 using a unique survey we gather a comprehensive analysis of the level of risk that pension fund clients (Board Members, Chief Financial Officers, and upper management of organisations with pension funds under third-party management), family offices that invest in hedge funds and Intermediate Financial Advisors (IFAs in UK) are willing to accept. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive study of current risk management practices within active European equity asset managers.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the perceived importance by two-tiered management of Cooperative Research Centres (CRCs) for managing a range of intellectual property issues. Fifty survey items are presented to the executive directors and commercialization managers of 62 CRCs. The survey items are categorized under four themes: relationships with collaborators, project management; design and implementation of agreements; and specific licensing issues. An analysis of the data, using a series of independent samples t-tests, repeated measures t-tests, chi-square tests for independence or relatedness and goodness of fit, shows a range of results. There are significant differences between executive directors and commercialization managers on a number of issues. There are particular emphases or trends about certain issues for the whole sample of managers. These findings are compared with text analyses of 23 CRC strategic planning documents. This is done in order to explore any similarity, difference or nuance between what the managers say in response to the survey items, compared with what is stated in the codified policies of the CRCs. While there is a high degree of consistency among certain themes between the two sets of findings, the overall analysis points to the need for the CRCs to have a better understanding and practice of commercialization opportunities, especially through the involvement of third party commercial interests. It is argued that accommodating third party commercialization interests involves the application of an important knowledge economy principle that has an important bearing on the future economic viability and competitiveness of the CRCs.

Abstract:
A business ought to be able to breed an adequate amount of cash and cash equivalent to meet its short-term liabilities if it is to carry on and develop in business. For that reason, working capital management which helps an entity to, efficiently and effectively manage current assets and liabilities is a key factor in the company’s long-term success; without working capital, the non- current assets will not function. The better the degree to which current assets exceed current liability, the more solvent or liquid a company is likely to be. This paper observes the relationship between working capital management practices of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and the performance and profitability of these businesses in the Kumasi Metropolis distinctively Asafo, to evaluate key ratios of industries of such working capital management policies in ensuring that current assets meets current liabilities, to assess the degree to which management of SMEs are dedicated to the effective and efficient management of working capital. The implication of the findings is that the government of Ghana should pursue policies aimed at encouraging training and improving the managerial skills of SME owner/managers as well as creating the enabling environment for the development of improved modern technologies to transform the business processes of these vital industries.

Abstract:
The events of September 11th focused renewed attention on protection of our nation’s critical infrastructure. Utilities across the nation have an increased awareness of risks and are recognizing the potential vulnerability of their physical assets, and also the assets embodied in their employees, their knowledge base, their information technology and their customers. Utilities must now grapple with the possibility that their infrastructure assets may be targets of direct physical threats — or serve as conduits for indirect physical threats. As the concern for protecting our nation’s infrastructure intensifies, each utility is being asked to reassess its ability to provide safe and reliable services to customers and communities as a whole. However, improvements to protection of utility assets must be performed with constraints of limited capital and operating budgets. Security threats from terrorist and related events are relatively new to the utility industry, so standard industry-wide protocols are just now being developed. Serious security practices have evolved in some discrete areas, such as high-risk government buildings, nuclear power plants, and airline terminals. Utility infrastructure physical assets are typically dispersed, so, standard approaches to security (developed for enterprises with highly centralized assets, such as nuclear weapons production facilities) are difficult to apply. Managers must then face a balancing act between demands for security and the resources needed to enact and finance those actions. This paper describes the Vulnerability Self Assessment (VSAT™) methodology and software that provides a structured, cost-effective approach for utilities to assess their vulnerabilities and to establish a risk-based methodology for making necessary changes. The VSAT™ methodology groups utility assets into the classes of People (utility staff), Physical Plant, Knowledge Base, Information Technology Platform, and Customers. The methodology and software are flexible, customizable, and user friendly. VSAT™ software is equally applicable to deliberately caused or natural disasters. In addition to a library of prototypical assets, included in the software application are threat and countermeasure libraries. As users proceed through self-assessments, VSAT™ automatically documents the analysis process during each step. VSAT™ helps users identify critical asset(s) and potential single points of failure (SPFs). The VSAT™ process culminates in a series of risk-reduction-cost reports that presents findings in clear and concise ways. This is important, because the goal is business continuity and, at the end of the day, VSAT™ provides solutions that enable utilities to mitigate risks of business interruptions at least cost.

Abstract:
<p>Infraestruturas de Portugal, S.A. (IP) is one of the major physical asset managers in Portugal, including the railway track assets of the National Railway Network. The current railway track technologies installed in the network range from the most modern solutions, which allow higher performances against ever more demanding service levels, to others not so recent although still adequate for the operation characteristics of certain lines. Being a network in evolution for over 150 years, occasionally there are some network sections where the installed technology is still the original one. The network comprises distinct railway track superstructure solutions, with very different performance requirements, variable degradation cycles and a multitude of maintenance intervention needs. In this context, and bearing in mind the high volume of maintenance and renewal needs, the management of railway track assets is a major challenge for IP.</p>

Abstract:
Predicting the stock market is a widely studied field, either due to the curiosity in finding an explanation for the behavior of financial assets or for financial purposes. Among these studies the best techniques use neural networks as a prediction tool. More specifically, the best networks for this purpose are called recurrent neural networks (RNN), and provide an extra option when dealing with a sequence of values. However, a great part of the studies is intended to predict the result of few stocks, therefore, this work aims to predict the behavior of a large number of stocks. For this, similar stocks were grouped based on their correlation and later the algorithm K-means was applied so that similar groups were clustered. After this process, the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) - a type of RNN - was used in order to predict the price of a certain group of assets. Results showed that clustering stocks did not influence the effectiveness of the network and that investors and portfolio managers can use it to simply their daily tasks.

Abstract:
The present work aimed to carry out a study on the variation of liquidity and indebtedness of companies listed on the Bovespa Index of B3, for the four quarters of 2020, a period in which the world economy went through instabilities and imbalances due to the pandemic of Covid-19. Financial management is essential for companies, as without it managers can make inefficient decisions, which can negatively impact the company and its finances. The absence of good financial management can cause negative impacts on the company, especially in times of crisis, such as the period of the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, for a business to have good results, it is necessary to create strategies to manage the company's finances, including periodic liquidity and indebtedness analysis. Thus, the Current Liquidity Ratio (ILC) and the Cash Ratio(CI) were used to determine the liquidity of companies and their transformations for the period analyzed. For indebtedness, we sought to analyze the Liabilities/Assets Index and the Third-Party Capital/Equity Index. Data were collected from the Standardized Financial Statements (DFP) and Quarterly Information (ITR) available on the B3 page. In the analysis of this work, companies from the financial sector were excluded due to the incompatibility of accounting standards and the methodology addressed in the work. It was verified in the results that, on average, companies underwent a substantial increase in liquidity in 2020, mainly in the second quarter, in which there was an average increase, among the companies analyzed, of 33.18% in the Cash ratio. The Industrial Goods, Oil, Gas and Biofuels and Public Utilities sector had the greatest increases in liquidity in the period. In terms of indebtedness, it could be seen that there was an increase in the participation of third-party capital, but less significant than the increase in liquidity of companies. This suggests that liquidity was financed by reallocation of company assets and policies aimed at exchanging the companies' current liabilities for non-current liabilities. It is concluded that in periods of uncertainty, such as the COVID-19 Pandemic, one of the priorities of companies is in fact to strengthen cash through asset reallocation, liability refinancing and contracting of credit lines.

Abstract:
The digitalization of higher education institutions is progressing significantly. Though the use of digital assets enhances the students’ learning experience and offers new opportunities for administration, there are no uniform standards for the use of digital media in teaching and student services. As educational service providers, universities are dependent on students being able to cope with the structures offered. Thus it is essential to ascertain students’ attitudes of the technologies used. We asked students from three blended learning courses about their perceptions. We further asked the students what should be done and by whom. Our results show that students see structural changes occurring not only in themselves but also at the level of the university management. Our research contributes to the actual discussion about the digitalization of higher education by offering suggestions for development from a students’ view. The results are valuable for lecturers and faculty managers who want to advance the digitalization of services and learning.

Full text
Abstract:
In defined contribution systems, at the end of the accumulation phase the assets in the retirement account are exchanged for a pension. The conversion rate from assets to retirement income (which depends on the level of interest rates) is very volatile, and its variations constitute the main investment risk facing pension fund affiliates. In this sense, performance metrics, management fees and benchmark portfolios that focus on assets (and asset returns) and ignore the variations in the conversion rate, embed several problems: i. they send wrong signals to regulators, fund managers and workers, ii. they provide wrong incentives to pension fund management companies, and iii. they leave pension fund affiliates exposed to their largest risk factor, even during the last few years preceding their retirement date. We find that regulatory incentives with these fundamental problems are ubiquitous in the region. The document presents a series of best practices, and delivers a practical set of tools to assist regulators and supervisors in designing a framework that improves security and sufficiency of retirement income, and provides relevant and timely information to pension fund affiliates. The framework achieves that by fostering an integration of the accumulation and the payout phases, and an alignment of the regulatory incentives for pension fund management companies with the retirement income objectives of pension fund affiliates. Using historical data from Colombia as a case study, the document illustrates and quantifies the improvements in terms of pension benefits and retirement income security that the proposed framework could bring.

Full text
Abstract:
The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) operates, maintains, and manages more than $232 billion worth of the Nation’s water resource infrastructure. Using the Operational Condition Assessment (OCA) system, the USACE allocates limited resources to assess conditions and maintain assets in efforts to minimize risks associated with asset performance degradation. Currently, OCAs are conducted on each component within a facility every 5 years, regardless of the component’s risk contribution. The analysis of risks associated with Flood Risk Management (FRM) facilities, such as dams, includes considering how the facility contributes to its associated FRM watershed system, understanding the consequences of degradation in the facility’s performance, and calculating the likelihood that the facility will perform as expected given the current OCA condition ratings of critical components. This research will develop a scalable methodology to model the probability of failure of components and systems that contribute to the performance of facilities in their respective FRM systems combined with consequences derived from hydrological models of the watershed to develop facility risk scores. This interim report documents the results of the first phase of this effort, stakeholder analysis and literature review, to identify candidate approaches to determine the probability of failure of a facility.

Full text
Abstract:
The US Army Corps of Engineers operates, maintains, and manages more than $232 billion worth of the Nation’s water resource infrastructure and relies on the Operational Condition Assessment (OCA) process to determine the condition of the assets and their components. The sheer number of components, all of equal OCA scheduling priority, creates challenges in ensuring that assessments are conducted in a timely manner and that data generated are of sufficient quality to inform resource allocation decisions. This research applied methods from systems design to determine the OCA system “as-is” state and create a stakeholder-informed vision of a “to-be” state that addresses current system challenges. To meet its objective of providing current assessments of asset condition, the OCA system must provide four high-level functions: provide access to asset data, conduct assessments, determine asset risk, and prioritize and schedule assessments. The development of capabilities to provide these functions will facilitate the achievement of the OCA system to-be vision: a consistent view of asset condition and risk across the enterprise.

Full text
Abstract:
Boreal ecosystems store large quantities of carbon but are increasingly vulnerable to carbon loss due to disturbance and climate warming. The boreal region in Alaska and Canada, largely underlain by discontinuous permafrost, presents a challenging landscape for itemizing carbon sources and sinks in soil and vegetation. The roles of fire, forest succession, and the presence/absence of permafrost on carbon cycle, vegetation, and hydrologic processes have been the focus of multidisciplinary research in boreal ecosystems for the past 20 years. However, projections of a warming future climate, an increase in fire severity and extent, and the potential degradation of permafrost could lead to major landscape and carbon cycle changes over the next 20 to 50 years. To assist land managers in interior Alaska in adapting and managing for potential changes in the carbon cycle, this paper was developed incorporating an overview of the climate, ecosystem processes, vegetation, and soil regimes. The objective is to provide a synthesis of the most current carbon storage estimates and measurements to guide policy and land management decisions on how to best manage carbon sources and sinks. We provide recommendations to address the challenges facing land managers in efforts to manage carbon cycle processes. The results of this study can be used for carbon cycle management in other locations within the boreal biome which encompasses a broad distribution from 45° to 83° north.

This report explores the engagement between Indigenous Peoples and the Responsible Investment (RI) industry in Canada. Based on interviews with stakeholders, observation of industry conferences, and documentary evidence collected during the first year of the pandemic (i.e., March 2020-March 2021), this report offers an overview of the current discussions regarding Indigenous Peoples in the RI industry. RI is an investment approach that incorporates Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors into the selection and management of investments (RIA, 2021). In 2019, the Responsible Investment Association (RIA) estimated that assets in Canada managed using one or more RI strategies2 were worth $3.2 trillion, or 61.8 per cent, of total Canadian assets under management (RIA, 2020).
