В умовах глобальної нестабільності та посилення конкуренції на фінансових ринках банки застосовують різноманітні методи підвищення операційної ефективності та забезпечення фінансової стійкості. Останнім часом все більшої популярності набуває такий достатньо інноваційний, особливо для банківських установ країн з перехідною економікою, спосіб реструктуризації їх діяльності, як аутсорсинг, тобто передання виконання певних функцій або бізнес-процесів стороннім організаціям, які за рахунок спеціалізації та професіоналізму виконують їх значно ефективніше.

Abstract:

Willow (Salix spp.) is a rich source of naturally occurring bioactive compounds. This study focussed specifically on exploring the condensed tannins (CT) in the National Willow Collection, which is a unique germplasm collection held at Rothamsted Research. Willow leaves were analysed by two different tannin methods, thiolysis and acid-butanol-acetone, in order to evaluate their suitability for assessing inter-accession variation and to identify accessions with a potential medicinal use. This is the first report of the tannin contents and compositions of a willow germplasm collection. Large var

Abstract:

In this dissertation, we address the problem of understanding human activities in videos by developing a two-pronged approach: coarse level modeling of scene activities and fine level modeling of individual activities. At the coarse level, where the resolution of the video is low, we rely on person tracks. At the fine level, richer features are available to identify different parts of the human body, therefore we rely on the body joint tracks. There are three main goals of this dissertation: (1) identify unusual activities at the coarse level, (2) recognize different activities at the fine lev

In this dissertation, we address the problem of analyzing the activities of people in a variety of scenarios, this is commonly encountered in vision applications. The overarching goal is to devise new representations for the activities, in settings where individuals or a number of people may take a part in specific activities. Different types of activities can be performed by either an individual at the fine level or by several people constituting a crowd at the coarse level. We take into account the domain specific information for modeling these activities. The summary of the proposed solutio

Abstract:

In this dissertation we address the problem of detecting humans and vehicles, tracking their identities in crowded scenes, and finally determining human activities. First, we tackle the problem of detecting moving as well as stationary objects in scenes that contain parallax and shadows. We constrain the search of pedestrians and vehicles by representing them as shadow casting out of plane or (SCOOP) objects. Next, we propose a novel method for tracking a large number of densely moving objects in aerial video. We divide the scene into grid cells to define a set of local scene constraints w

Abstract Recent decades have experienced a sharp increase in the incidence and prevalence of diabetes mellitus.

Yet, some authors have suggested that the use of the Internet for sexual purposes might lead to psychological problems (Cooper et al., 2001). However, it is unclear if the problems that are commonly reported (i.e., Internet dependency, isolation, and psychological distress) are caused by using the Internet for sexual purposes.

To this end, we used IL-7 dependent T-cells to examine those components necessary for cell growth and survival.

History<br>Ph.D.<br>This dissertation challenges the dominant interpretation in women's history of the 1920s and 1930s as the "doldrums of the women's movement," and demonstrates that Philadelphia's political history is incomplete without the inclusion of African American women's voices. Given their well-developed bases of power in social reform, club, church, and interracial groups and strong tradition of political activism, these women exerted tangible pressure on Philadelphia's political leaders to reshape the reform agenda. When success was not forthcoming through traditional political mea

Abstract:

This study examined indicators of 3rd Grade students' non-school activity participation (NSAP) for associations with measures of social competence and reading performance. The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study (ECLS-K), representative of a 1999 kindergarten cohort of more than 14,000 students was used. The study constructed social competence composites from responses provided by students, parents and teachers. Principal component analysis and iterative bivariate correlations were utilized to derive the most robust composite for use in tests of the main hypotheses of the study. Results confirm

Abstract:

Special Education<br>Ed.D.<br>Adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are characterized by difficulties in social interactions and functional communication skills, and the presence of repetitive behaviors and restrictive interests (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). These characteristics can adversely affect the daily functioning of individuals with ASD and pose problems for them in obtaining and maintaining stable employment. In addition, their limited ability to engage in leisure activities can also diminish their quality of life (Garcia-Villamisar, & Dattilo, 2010; Patterson, & Peg

Physical Therapy<br>Ph.D.<br>Falls in older adults are linked with increased morbidity and mortality, and remain a major public health concern. Aging is associated with increased reliance on the visual system for postural control, termed “visual dependence”. Discordance between visual, vestibular and proprioceptive sensory information can lead to balance loss and falls. In addition to increased visual dependence (VD), older adults have more difficulty than younger adults in multi-tasking, performing simultaneous tasks (e.g. walk and talk), which may further increase fall risk.
