Abstract:
Wire bonding is a fairly mature technology that has been used in medical implantable products for over twenty years. Today however, its relevance continues to grow as the size of die continues to get smaller. Size, weight and volume are paramount when developing and manufacturing an implantable medical device, which often needs to perform a specific function such as, monitoring or adjusting parameters of the device itself, monitoring patient data or communicating data from the device to the healthcare professional. Wire bonding can be the answer to addressing many of the requirements mentioned above. This paper will review the current status of the use of gold ball wire bonding and its relevance to the medical device industry as well as discuss how advancements in wire bonding processes benefit today's implantable products. Wire bond interconnections can be made using gold, aluminum and copper wires. They each have different bonding characteristics and therefore require different application methods and equipment. The advantages and characteristics of gold ball wire bonding will be reviewed as this process relates to High Value Medical Devices. Achieving high yields can also be a challenge with any wire bonding processes. Today's smaller die and pads require smaller gage wires. Typical production requirements are .8 – 1.2 mil wire and 4X4 pads. The demand to still go smaller requires continual adaptations and ingenuity as wire thicknesses are being pushed to .5 mils and below. Bond pull testing at the beginning, mid and end of production runs becomes important to verify integrity of the wire bonds with such small wire gages. The complexities involved in wire bonding can lead to increased cost as well. To address this, a single process procedure is being adopted by many, which eliminates pattern plating and saves time and money. This new process will also be explained and reviewed.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the effectiveness of anti-money laundering/combating of financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) measures in Pakistan. Key variables of AML/CFT regulations of Pakistan are used. This study explores the impact of customer due diligence, record keeping, wire transfers, correspondent banking, reporting of transactions, new technology and internal controls/compliance/trainings on money-laundering risk. Design/methodology/approach Data is collected with the help of questionnaires developed in light of Financial Actions Task Force (FATF) recommendations and the AML/CFT regulations of Pakistan. Findings Results show that customer due diligence, correspondent banking and new technology may help control money-laundering risk in Pakistan, whereas impact of record keeping, wire transfers and reporting of transactions did not have an effect on money-laundering risk. This study suggests a better implementation of these measures. Research limitations/implications The current study was limited to Pakistani banks. For more conclusive results, future studies should replicate similar studies in other countries. Practical implications Findings of this study may help the State Bank of Pakistan in taking measures to simplify the process of implementing FATF rules and regulations regarding AML/CFT, regular monitoring and trainings to the staff of banks and development finance institutions in customer due diligence, correspondent banking and new technology. Further, it helps to take appropriate measures in resolving banks-specific issues related to AML/CFT. Social implications Effective AML/CFT control measures would strengthen socio-economic growth in a country. Further, formalization, compliance and integrity would eliminate money laundering risk. It would create an economy that works with equity and promotes transparency. Originality/value This research paper supports implementation of AML/CFT regulations, proper monitoring and novel supervision of banks.

Abstract:
The traditional strain acquisition system transmits the signal by wire, but the signal attenuation would happen when the wire is long, and the line maintenance would cost a lot of manpower and money. This paper has designed a high speed strain acquisition which could transmit data through the wireless sensor network, this solution we provided has overcame the signal attenuation, and comparing the cost of the systems is lower. It is proved by the experiment that this solution can ensure the signal’s accuracy and complete the normal strain acquisition.

Abstract:
Direct stenting may reduce local vessel trauma, minimise ‘geographical miss’, prevent distal embolisation and save time/money during percutaneous coronary interventions. However, direct stenting is currently performed in ≤50% of most cathether laboratories worldwide. Among the main reasons to pre-dilate, vessels anatomy (tortuosity and amount of calcification) play a central role in the operator’s decision. The recently developed Acrobat Stent-On-A-Wire (SOAW) coronary system combines a very thin (81μ) L605 CoCr stent mounted on a delivery system with a 0.012-inch integrated guidewire tip (distance from the tip of the wire to the stent is 22mm). This is a balloon-expandable stent and the nylon balloon is also directly mounted onto the wire. The Acrobat SOAW may potentially facilitate percutaneous coronary intervention by reducing time/cost and minimising peri-procedural complications and therefore benefit a large number of patients in daily practice who are currently labelled as unfavourable for direct stenting.

Abstract:
PurposeThis paper uses the recent (August 2015) FIFA arrests to provide an example of how illicit financial flows are occurring through the formal banking and financial services sector. The purpose of this paper is to explore which elements of anti-money laundering (AML) compliance need to be addressed to strengthen the banking response and reduce the impact of IFFs within the banking sector.Design/methodology/approachThe paper is based on the indictment document currently prepared for the FIFA arrests and the District Court case of Chuck Blazer the FIFA Whistleblower. It uses the banking examples identified in the indictment as typologies of money laundering and wire fraud. Corresponding industry reports on AML compliance are included to determine where the major weaknesses and gaps are across the financial service.FindingsThe main findings from the analysis are that banks still have weak areas within AML compliance. Even recognised red flag areas such as off shore havens, large wire transfers and front companies are still being used. The largest gaps still appear to be due diligence and beneficial ownership information.Research limitations/implicationsThe research topic is very new and emerging topic; therefore, analysis papers and other academic writing on this topic are limited.Practical implicationsThe research paper has identified a number of implications for the banking sector, addressing AML deficiencies, especially the need to consider the source of funds and the need for further enhanced due diligence systems for politically exposed and influential people and the importance of beneficial ownership information.Social implicationsThis paper has implications for the international development and the global banking sector. It will also influence approaches to AML regulation, risk assessment and audit within the broader financial services sector.Originality/valueThe originality of this paper is the link between the emerging issues associated with allegations of bribery and corruption within FIFA and the illicit financial flow implications across the banking sector.

Abstract:
Large financial institutions such as Bank of America handle hundreds of thousands of wire transactions per day. Although most transactions are legitimate, these institutions have legal and financial obligations to discover those that are suspicious. With the methods of fraudulent activities ever changing, searching on predefined patterns is often insufficient in detecting previously undiscovered methods. In this paper, we present a set of coordinated visualizations based on identifying specific keywords within the wire transactions. The different views used in our system depict relationships among keywords and accounts over time. Furthermore, we introduce a search-by-example technique, which extracts accounts that show similar transaction patterns. Our system can be connected to a database to handle millions of transactions and still preserve high interactivity. In collaboration with the Anti-Money Laundering division at Bank of America, we demonstrate that using our tool, investigators are able to detect accounts and transactions that exhibit suspicious behaviors.

Abstract:
Nowadays, the electrical system is more complicated duet to the continuous growing. Power losses is the biggest challenges for distribution network operators. There are several causes for technical losses. Losses caused by unbalanced phase current are one of the main reasons which can be minimized by small investment through dedicating a technical line staff. As a result of connecting many single loads to three phase four wire power supplies, the current flowing in each phase will be unequal and accordingly there will be a current flowing in the neutral wire. Unbalancing currents in phases can lead to increase the conductor temperature and accordingly the conductor resistance is higher which contribute to increase the power losses. Loss reduction can lead to enormous utility saving. Besides, it increases system capacity and save more money which can be used later for future planted system. This study concentrated on the amount of copper losses in distribution networks as a result of unequal loading of the three phases four wires network. The distribution network is more efficient and more economic assuming that the right procedure is applied to balance the distribution system and achieve the required calculations which require a little investment.

Abstract:
Purpose This paper aims to help build awareness with the regulatory, enforcement and customs authorities as well as reporting entities about money laundering risks and vulnerabilities of the Mavrodi Mondial Movement (MMM) scheme, and how to mitigate them. Design/methodology/approach The research took the form of a desk study, which analyzed various documents and reports such as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) typologies reports in 2006, 2008, 2010, 2013 and 2014 on new payment methods (NPMs) which focused on the potential for NPM to be misused by criminals; the identification of risk factors which can significantly differ from one new payment product or service to another, depending on functionality; and risk mitigants which can be tailored to a particular new payment product or service to address its specific risk profile. Findings This paper presents the following findings and recommendations: high-risk customers such as politically exposed persons (PEPs) could exploit the non-face-to-face feature of MMM by using the identity of low-risk customers (e.g. pensioners) to open MMM accounts. The Bitcoin funding option may present a higher money laundering risk than Bank wire, MasterCard, Visa Debit and Interac. The electronic nature of Bitcoins provides in principle a good foundation for effective record keeping and the monitoring of transactions. The money laundering risks associated with Goldmoney are very minimal when compared to Bitcoin. MMM Nigeria is therefore recommended to adopt Goldmoney as its preferred method of online payment for MMM transactions. Originality/value While most publications on MMM are focused on fraud, this paper focuses on the money laundering risks and vulnerabilities associated with the MMM scheme.

Abstract:

There are conservative estimates that the amount of money laundered each year is anywhere between 2 and 5 percent of the annual gross domestic product of the world economy. That figure in dollars is between $800 billion and $2 trillion in U.S. dollars. Research has shown that the majority of money that is laundered across the globe either enters the United States or comes from the United States. It can be argued that the use of wire transfers is the preferred method used by criminals to move their funds. By using wire transfers it is more difficult for those tasked with prevention and investigation to track the money.

Wire transfers have become the preferred method for criminals to launder money. This is because they are fast, secure and very hard to trace. It is electronically sending cash to another individual or account. It is also easy to initiate a wire transfer. It can be done from a personal computer in a residence or from a public computer. It can be done through an established relationship with a financial institution or by using a wire transfer service such as Western Union or MoneyGram. It can be sent to another account or sent to an individual for immediate pick-up depending upon the type of service a person chooses to use.

This paper researches the argument that there is complicity within the wire transfer system that has supported this method for illegal activity and money laundering. The research argues that given the lack of effort by financial institutions and Federal regulations and enforcement efforts this activity will continue to increase. There have been successful efforts employed to reduce money laundering through wire transfers. These methods have not been embraced by the larger community of enforcement officials nor the Federal Government.

By using proven methods and analyzing trends and data within the wire transfer process an effective set of tools can be deployed by regulators, investigators and financial institutions to mitigate money laundering.

Abstract:
The role risk taking has played in American history has helped shape current legislation concerning gambling. This thesis attempts to explain the discrepancies in legislation regarding distinct forms of gambling. While casinos are heavily regulated by state and federal laws, most statutes dealing with lotteries strive to regulate the activities of other parties instead of those of the lottery institutions. Incidentally, lotteries are the only form of gambling completely managed by the government. It can be inferred that the United States government is more concerned with people exploiting gambling than with the actual practice of wagering. In an effort to more fully understand the gambling debate, whether it should be allowed or banned, I examined different types of sources. Historical sources demonstrate how ingrained in American culture risk taking, the core of gambling, has been since the formation of this nation. Sources dealing with the economic implications of gambling were also studied. Additionally, sources dealings with the political and legal aspects of gambling were essential for this thesis. Legislature has tried to reconcile distinct problems associated with gambling, including corruption. For this reason sports gambling scandals and Mafia connections to gambling have also been examined. The American government has created much needed legislature to address different concerns relating to gambling. It is apparent that statutes will continue to be passed to help regulate the gambling industry. A possible consideration is the legalization of sports wagering to better regulate that sector of the industry.

Abstract:
AbstractMany see “precision medicine” and “precision health” complementing one another. Precision medicine is critical when we have a life-threatening cancer that could be managed with a targeted cancer therapy. Still, we would rationally prefer whatever medicine might offer that would either prevent the emergence of that cancer or treat it in its earliest stages, the goal of precision health. Dr. Raza, an oncologist, argues in a book titled “The First Cell” that we should abandon paying for targeted therapies for metastatic cancer, and use that money to detect cancer up front using “liquid biopsies” to identify cancer cells in the blood at $500 each, or $100 billion per year. However, I argue that this would be neither a wise nor just use of limited health care resources. Granted, targeted therapies for most patients yield costly marginal gains in life expectancy. Still, we would be sacrificing identified lives for the statistical lives we hoped to save with liquid biopsy tests. We could do Whole Genome Sequencing of the entire population at $3000 per person, looking for the 10% of the population with a heritable cancer, again neither a wise nor just use of limited health care resources. We could fund research to identify biomarkers that would identify cancer patients who would be strong responders to targeted therapies and deny these therapies at social expense to moderate responders. The money saved could be used for targeted precision health efforts. What is really fair? Answering this question requires developing processes of fair and inclusive rational democratic deliberation. What choices are our healthy selves willing to pay for and live with if we develop cancer?

AbstractThe root cause of the biological invasion problem is globalization, which has facilitated the planet-wide breakdown of biogeographic barriers to species migration (Mooney and Hobbs 2000). In order to understand and manage the problem, coordination on a global scale is essential, and international cooperation among affected countries as well as with countries of pest origin must therefore play a critical role in virtually all aspects of research on biological invasions (Chornesky et al. 2005; McNeely et al. 2001; Perrings et al. 2010; Wingfield et al. 2015). Here we discuss key aspects of research on biological invasions, where international collaboration and coordination are important, and what infrastructures play a role in this work.

Abstract:
Currently additive manufacturing techniques offer great detail in small, difficult to produce parts. They are also relatively slow, limited in scale and very expensive (especially so in the additive manufacturing of metals realm). Wire and arc additive manufacturing enables manufacturers to build parts by depositing metal in layers using welding techniques. The extremely inexpensive Wire 3D (Wir3D) printing process, in development by the authors, uses an electric arc to melt metals at higher deposition rates than other additive techniques in metals. Large parts can be created quicker with less material waste or total machining time than subtractive manufacturing. Unique metal alloys can also be quickly and economically produced without worry of tool wear and the other drawbacks that are related to super alloy manufacturing as with subtractive techniques. A Wir3D additive machine was designed, constructed and evaluated at Auburn University. The wire deposition machine features a modular, open frame design allowing for easy access and continuous upgrades. The machine, which is based upon gas metal arc welding (GMAW) technology, is extremely rapid compared to other additive processes currently available at producing metal objects. Although it cannot currently compete with laser or electron beam additive methods in terms of resolution, these methods will never be able to compete with Wir3D in terms of speed for bulky print jobs, or especially material costs. During the literature review of this emerging technology, it became apparent that a standard reporting format would greatly increase future developments in the field by all researchers. A standard parametric data sheet was developed to establish a common data set for future researchers (included at end) during the experiments’ execution incorporating all of the parameters reported variously in the scattered literature. The printer described in this paper constructed for very little money by students working together. In the development, voltage and current requirements for different wire diameters were analyzed along with resulting wall widths and heights. The tensile strengths of deposited steel structures were measured in multiple orientations achieving up to 90% of standard material values in one orientation. Deposited steel structures were found to be heat treatable. With improved controls and in-process feedback, one-off castings can be easily replaced using this process in a wide array of metals. The wire 3D printing process is a viable option for low cost and rapid manufacturing of metallic objects [1].

Abstract:
The paper uses the historical record of radioactive discharges from BNFL’s Sellafield reprocessing site in the UK and seeks to identify what have been the key drivers for change, particularly over the past 20 years of significant discharge reductions. The paper examines the current context for ongoing and future discharges from the site, including intergovernmental commitments such as the OSPAR Sintra statement and the developing UK policy framework, together with BNFL’s work with a wide range of ‘green’ stakeholders. The paper outlines the principal components of BNFL’s decision-making processes for discharge control and abatement, and how these interact with the relevant external pressures. It then analyses whether the overall drivers and outcomes align with the declared desire of the UK government to ensure that the taxpayer receives value for money in the new national arrangements for managing legacy wastes from the nuclear industry.

Highly efficient energy transmission between Overhead Catenary System (OCS) and pantograph is paramount for high speed railway lines. However this is not usually considered relevant for low speed railway lines. But interruptions in mechanical and electrical contact interfaces increase maintenance costs and can lead to EMI problems with its surrounding environment. In order to avoid this, OCS systems are carefully designed using complex programs for calculation of pantograph/OCS interaction and compared with registered data. This means that it is necessary to invest valuable resources (time and money) to design a proper OCS. At the end of the day, in order to obtain full benefits of a well designed OCS, both careful calculation and installation of all the elements of the system are a must. If no balance between design, calculation and installation is achieved, the overall procedure can present cost ineffectiveness due to wrong or careless installation. The first step of a proper OCS installation process is taking into account all the geometrical and mechanical characteristics and restrictions of the system (maximum and minimum span lengths, slopes, cants, etc.) as well as the relative position of masts, portal structures and head spans to the track. The forces applied by the conductors to each mast and cantilever are established bearing all these data into account. Cantilevers are calculated using these efforts as an input data together with all the geometrical restrictions that the system imposes, thus obtaining their complete geometry and the stresses and strains that they will have to support. These stresses and strains are compared to different standards as well as to rate and calculate masts and foundations. The geometric parameters of the cantilevers are used to prefabricate these elements in order to speed the installation process and to avoid onsite installation errors. A precise calculation process is needed to assure that the contact wire is in the correct position. That’s why a proper calculation tool is needed. CLARA, is a tool developed to perform geometrical and mechanical calculations of OCS cantilevers and rate both masts and masts foundations. This tool has been designed in AECOM Madrid Transportation Design Center by the authors. It is an IT tool that performs this calculation in a precise and quick manner, taking into account all the necessary input data and determining output data to the required level of detail as presented in this paper. This tool provides useful data to design OCS controlling parameters that are of paramount importance for final OCS behavior. Some of these parameters are usually non-controlled due to onsite installation procedures. The authors believe that the use of this tool avoids recalculation, inefficiencies and systematic errors and hence it provides the basis for a more cost efficient design and building process.

Abstract:
Evaluation methods of Environmental burdens have been improved. Some of those methods indicate intensity of environmental burdens in money unit to make them comparable to production cost. Moreover, from sustainability point of view, improvement of functions is as important as reduction of environmental burdens. Namely, environmental burdens and functions have to be balanced. Therefore, we aimed to develop the evaluation method of design products that is able to optimize balance between them. We had developed the evaluation method of environmental burdens, which indicates potential of economical loss caused by environmental impacts and defined it as Societal Cost. This is used for evaluation of environmental burden. In this paper, we improve this method by adding the Function Value. To compare the value of functions with environmental burdens, every evaluation criterion has to be integrated in single score, and it is desired to be money unit. We derived value of functions by using the information theory and defined it as Function Value. Eco-Efficiency Index evaluates products. This is based on the concept of Eco-Efficiency and calculated by dividing Function Value by Societal Cost. Societal Cost: Pollutants cause many environmental impacts and many kinds of losses through their lifetimes, and most of them can not be converted into money except the loss of productivity. Societal Cost indicates the social loss of productivity by the decrease of human health caused by the increase of disease or disaster originates on emission of pollutants. Function Value: To evaluate products’ value in single score, value of each functions existing in product has to be quantified and integrated. The information theory is applied for this method. Amount of information of each function is derived from probability of satisfying consumer. However, functions have different importance. Therefore, amounts of information of functions are added up after weighted by Relative Importance of each function, which is determined by using QFDE. We defined it as Integrated Amount of Information. It is also important to think the span of utilization. To express the relation between product’s value and time in use, three types of depreciation methods are applied. They should be chosen in accordance with aging characteristics of product. Eco-Efficiency Index: Eco-Efficiency Index is defined as Function Value divided by Societal Cost. This definition is based on the concept of Eco-Efficiency advocated world wide, which mean obtained value per unit amount of environmental burden.

Abstract:
Abstract Many engineering decisions involve uncertainty and require tradeoffs between multiple attributes. Often it is possible to reduce or eliminate uncertainty through data collection, or analysis, or both. Although it generally leads to better outcomes, reducing uncertainty may increase cost. This metadecision of whether to reduce the uncertainty at a given cost is undertaken in the form of Value of Information (VOI) studies. Previous work has considered value of information in singleattribute cases, however, studies of the more challenging multiattribute case are less common. Multiattribute problems can have numerous uncertain variables across alternatives, not all of them easily measurable in money amounts, which makes the VOI analysis more complicated. This paper presents a simulation-based approach for calculating and interpreting the VOI in generic multiattribute decision problems and describes a simulation study that we conducted to explore how the decision problem parameters affect the VOI. The relationship between the VOI and the gain in expected utility (utility-gain) that will result from new information is also discussed. This relationship is not simple and yields some expected as well as counterintuitive results. For example, our results suggest that non-linearity of the utility functions may lead to different VoI calculation for the same utility-gain, depending on the relative position of the alternatives. Finally, this paper discusses the sensitivity of the utility from the decision as a function of decision problem parameters and shows that the magnitude of change in VoI can be predicted from these sensitivities. A vehicle alignment problem in an automotive assembly line is presented to demonstrate the approach. The results show that VoI calculation is a challenging problem that is very much contingent on the parameters of the problem. Our results provide insights into the benefits of different ways to evaluate the value of information in multiattribute problems.

Abstract:
An innovative approach to integrate the activities of a decommissioning and deactivation program (D&D) with a soil-groundwater clean up program has had significant positive results saving both money and time at the Department of Energy’s Savannah River Site. The accomplishments that have been achieved by the combining the two programs have been remarkable including significant cost savings, economies of scale for sampling and document generation, and alignment of common objectives. Because of the coordination of both activities area-wide “end states” can be formulated and be consistent with the customers’ cleanup goals and federal regulations. This coordinates and aligns both the environmental clean up and D&D objectives because each must be addressed simultaneously and comprehensively. In this respect, resources from both organizations can be pooled to take advantage of the strengths of each. The new approach allows more efficient use of lean financial resources and optimizes workforce activities to attain the common objectives while being more cost effective, more protective of the environment, and optimizing the use existing resources.

Abstract:
A non-linear theoretical model is presented to study the effect of laser surface texturing (LST) on the load carrying capacity in soft elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication (SEHL). Both geometrical and physical non-linearity of the elastomer is considered by using a logarithmic strain and the Mooney-Rivlin constitutive law, respectively. The results of the present non-linear model are compared with those of a previous linear one over a wide range of operating conditions. It is found that the two models predict the same optimum LST parameters for maximum load capacity but the non-linear model gives load capacity that is up to 10% lower than that obtained from the linear model.

Abstract:
High power and high capacity turbo-compressor systems frequently sustain acoustically induced vibrations. Higher order acoustic modes generated by turbo-compressors often couple selectively with structural pipe resonances producing significant increase in pipe wall vibration. In some instances, these coincidences generate high local stress levels that fatigue pipe shell or pipe attachments. In order to judge the level of dynamic strain and stress in piping systems, elaborate theories are employed. However, these are frequently not practical and relatively difficult to use in industrial applications, for example, in troubleshooting process. First, the accuracy of predicted results depends on assumed boundary conditions. The boundary conditions for on-site cases are rarely known and always difficult to estimate. Second, strains and stresses are complex and often difficult to determine, since they vary in space and time and may be caused by a multimode frequency excitation. Therefore, the strain and stress can only be predicted in reasonable bounds through laborious sensitivity and error analyses, which add further complexity to the already convoluted mathematical predictions. The correct stress level prediction in a structure, by means of directly measured vibrational velocity levels, is very desirable. Therefore, accurate mapping of the vibrational field is necessary. Since the mapping or evaluating of complex vibrational fields is very tedious and expensive using conventional technology (ample number of strain gauges or accelerometers), an alternative technique has been developed: wide field pulsed holographic interferometry. This method provides three dimensional field images of vibrating structures allowing extraction of the actual vibrational responses (displacement and velocity), and calculation of dynamic strain and stress information. These are described by their gradient, peak and phase values obtained from the holograms documenting vibrational fields. This paper describes empirical verification of the wide field pulsed holographic technology which is used to predict a service life of the complex piping structure subjected to multimode frequency excitation. The experimental work was carried out on a sample thin wall vessel, which was either empty or partially filled with water and excited by the hammer or shaker. Through the conversion of vibrational response levels into strain (and stress level), and verification of the conversion against strain gauge measurement results, the technology is proven as a diagnostic tool. It is concluded that there are many advantages of using holography to evaluate complex vibrational fields. They include: i) ‘instant’ results, ii) non-intrusive nature (i.e. the machinery subject to testing can operate without interruptions), iii) satisfactory accuracy, iv) complete and permanent records, and v) significant savings of time and money due to reducing the analysis effort and implementation of suitable recommendations.

Abstract:
The worldwide football transfer market is analyzed as a directed complex network: the football clubs are the network nodes and the directed edges are weighted by the total amount of money transferred from a club to another. The Google matrix description allows to treat every club independently of their richness and allows to measure for a given club the efficiency of player sales and player acquisitions. The PageRank algorithm, developed initially for the World Wide Web, naturally characterizes the ability of a club to import players. The CheiRank algorithm, also developed to analyze large scale directed complex networks, characterizes the ability of a club to export players. The analysis in the two-dimensional PageRank-CheiRank plan permits to determine the transfer balance of the clubs in a more subtle manner than the traditional import-export scheme. We investigate the 2017-2018 mercato concerning 2296 clubs, 6698 player transfers, and 147 player nationalities. The transfer balance is determined globally for different types of player trades (defender, midfielder, forward, …) and for different national football leagues. Although, on average, the network transfer flows from and to clubs are balanced, the discrimination by player type draws a specific portrait of each football club.

Abstract:
Securitization is in wide use and a component of many risk transfer mechanisms between various parties. It is based on selling risky assets in absolute form, as well as the synthetic transfer of specific risk aspects. This paper aims to define securitization, various contexts of its use, transaction participants and their motivation. Securitization in practice is a process in which loans, receivables and other assets are gathered into pools (packages). Money flows in connection with them are employed as well as economic value as support to securities settlements. Securitization is turning illiquid securities and illiquid assets into liquid securities and liquid assets. The final result of securitization is providing funding for activities of companies by selling their assets gathered into pools (packages), instead of using loans. Methods used in this paper are desk research, as well as the method of analysis, practical application worldwide, etc. This paper proves that securitization can practically be based on any asset the relative value of which can be determined, or which generates relatively predictable future income flow, which does contribute to providing funding of current business activities of a company.

Abstract:
"A recent industry trend survey of CEOs found that only 11% of organizations report having a strong enough bench to fill leadership roles (Rhyne, 2021). As such, effective leadership development is an imperative for any high-performing organization. Rather than focusing time, money, and energy on only a small subset of “high-potential” employees, organizations can realize the full potential of their entire workforce by providing tech-enabled leadership development to leaders at all levels. This paper shares the following insights for Chief Learning Officers interested in leveraging evidence-based practices to accelerate leader development at scale and unlock the collective potential of their workforce: • A brief overview of why we need new ways to develop leaders and a high-level description of the new digital assessment and development tools that meet individuals where they are – offering a highly personalized approach to development in-the-flow of work. • A review of eight research-based learning practices that provide a foundation for leveraging technology to make in-the-flow leadership development better, faster, and more accessible to leaders at all levels. For every learning practice, we provide implementation tips and discuss illustrative example tools. • We conclude with a discussion around the strategic use of the eight learning practices for enabling better organization-wide development outcomes.

Abstract:
In 2019, the Gambling Commission announced a National Strategy to Reduce Gambling Harms. Underlying the strategy is the Framework of Harms, outlined in Measuring gambling-related harms: A framework for action. "The Framework" adopts a public health approach to address gambling-related harm in Great Britain across multiple levels of measurement. It comprises three primary factors and nine related subfactors. To advance the National Strategy, all componentsneed to be supported by a strong evidence base. This report examines existing research expertise relevant to the Framework amongacademics based in the UK. The aim is to understand the extent to which the Framework factors and subfactors have been studied in order to identify gaps in expertise and provide evidence for decision making thatisrelevant to gambling harms research priorities. A social network analysis identified coauthor networks and alignment of research output with the Framework. The search strategy was limited to peer-reviewed items and covered the 12-year period from 2008 to 2019. Articles were selected using a Web of Science search. Of the 1417 records identified in the search, the dataset was refined to include only those articles that could be assigned to at least one Framework factor (n = 279). The primary factors and subfactors are: Resources:Work and Employment, Money and Debt, Crime;Relationships:Partners, Families and Friends, Community; and Health:Physical Health, Psychological Distress, and Mental Health. We used Gephi software to create visualisations reflecting degree centrality (number of coauthor networks) so that each factor and subfactor could be assessed for the density of research expertise and patterns of collaboration among coauthors. The findings show considerable variation by framework factor in the number of authors and collaborations, suggesting a need to develop additional research capacity to address under-researched areas. The Health factor subcategory of Mental Health comprised almost three-quarters of all citations, with the Resources factor subcategory of Money and Debt a distant second at 12% of all articles. The Relationships factor, comprised of two subfactors, accounted for less than 10%of total articles. Network density varied too. Although there were few collaborative networks in subfactors such as Community or Work and Employment, all Health subfactors showed strong levels of collaboration. Further, some subfactors with a limited number of researchers such as Partners, Families, and Friends and Money and debt had several active collaborations. Some researchers’ had publications that spanned multiple Framework factors. These multiple-factor researchers usually had a wide range of coauthors when compared to those who specialised (with the exception of Mental Health).Others’ collaborations spanned subfactors within a factor area. This was especially notable forHealth. The visualisations suggest that gambling harms research expertise in the UK has considerable room to grow in order to supporta more comprehensive, locally contextualised evidence base for the Framework. To do so, priority harms and funding opportunities will need further consideration. This will require multi-sector and multidisciplinary collaboration consistent with the public health approach underlying the Framework. Future research related to the present analysis will explore the geographic distribution of research activity within the UK, and research collaborations with harms experts internationally.

Full text
Abstract:
This rapid review synthesises the literature from academic sources, knowledge institutions, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and trusted independent media outlets on the approach used by the Russian government to provide any support or services to civilians in the territories it controls. The rapid review concludes that Russia provides economic, social, government, and military support to de facto states that it controls, such as Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Transnistria and the Donbas region. Russia covers large parts of the state’s budget of these separatist regions. This review uses the term aid referring to a wide range of support, such as humanitarian, social safety nets, basic services, infrastructure, state development, and security. Due to the lack of transparency on the Russian aid money that flows into the regions that are the subject of this review, it is impossible to show disaggregated data, but rather a broader overview of Russian aid to these regions. Russia used humanitarian aid and assistance to provide for civilians. During armed conflict it provided, to some extent, food, and medicines to the people. However, from the literature Russia has used humanitarian aid and assistance as an instrument to pursue broader policy goals that could not be defined as humanitarian in nature. Russia often relied on the language of humanitarianism to strengthen its credentials as a neutral and impartial actor and to justify its continued support for the residents and de facto authorities of Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and Transnistria, to secure its aim to strengthen the political and social ties with these regions while weakening their allegiance to Georgia and Moldova. As the humanitarian activities to the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine demonstrate, the Russian state is not willing to allow scrutiny of their humanitarian aid by independent organisations. Mistrust, corruption, and the use of aid for propaganda, even smuggling arms into the separatist region, are commonly mentioned by trusted sources. After a conflict becomes more stabilised, Russia’s humanitarian aid becomes more of a long-term strategic “friendship”, often sealed in a treaty to integrate the region into the Russian sphere, such as the cases of South Ossetia, Abkhazia, and Transnistria clearly show. Although all these separatist regions rely on Russia (economically, politically, and through Russia’s military presence), this does not mean that they always do exactly what Russia wants, which is particularly the case for Abkhazia and Transnistria.
