Rani,, Dr Pushpa. "Analysis of Option Prices Using Black Scholes Model." INTERANTIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT 08, no. 05 (2024): 1–5. http://dx.doi.org/10.55041/ijsrem34488.
Full textAbstract:
A mathematical formula used in finance to calculate the theoretical price of an option and ascertain its option premium is known as the Black Scholes option pricing model, which aids option traders in making informed decisions. This article estimates the option premium of various call and put options using the Black Scholes Model. The three distinct option chains chosen for this essay are all Mid-Cap companies that are listed on the Indian National Stock Exchange. The companies are Suzlon Energy, Kalyan jewellers India, and Exide Industries Ltd. The analysis demonstrates that the options are expensive because the Black Scholes model's computation of the option premium is lower than the actual premium in the market. Keywords: Option, Black Scholes Option Pricing Model, Call, Put, Option Premium

Full textAbstract:
CAPM theory is the core of the modern financial theory. As time went on, more and more people began to invest in CAPM research, many of the contradictions of CAPM have emerged, not least the highly idealistic assumptions and harsh implementation conditions. Different from CAPM, which only has a single factor of market risk beta, The inclusion of size premium and book-to-market ratio premium in this model can effectively explain stock market results. By introducing the model concept of CAPM and FF3 and comparing the empirical evidence in Sattar, M., this paper explains why the explanatory power of CAPM factors is weak. By referring to previous scholars' articles, this essay contrasts and elucidates how the market factor, size premium, and book-to-market ratio premium may all effectively account for stock market returns. According to the study's findings, the three-factor Fama French model has a stronger capacity for explanation than the CAPM model.

Full textAbstract:
This study discusses two discount systems, namely, the insurance pre- mium discount system, where the policyholder’s valuation is objective, and the book price discount system, where the policyholder’s valuation is subjective. The main pur- pose of this study is to compare these discount systems and show the conditions under which each discount system is chosen by an insurance firm.
 The main conclusions of this study are as follows. First, the insurance firm chooses the book price discount (insurance premium discount) system if the policyholder’s disutility of loss prevention effort is relatively high (low). Second, the insurance firm chooses the book price discount system when the initial wealth and maximum subjec- tive valuation of the book price discount are large. The insurance firm also chooses the book price discount system when the insurance premium, the amount of damage and effect of the loss prevention effort are small.

Full textAbstract:
As the global product packaging market is predicted to soar to $1.1 trillion in 2024, the challenge for retail marketers is “How I can make my packaging stand out on a retail shelf?” 1 And a related question, relevant for all packaged products, is “Can my packaging help not only increase customer acceptance, but also a customer’s willingness to pay?”, implying that the product can command a premium. Recent research by Lan Anh N. Ton, Rosanna K. Smith, and Julio Sevilla suggests that for most product categories, packaging simplicity enhances a customer’s willingness to pay, as it emphasizes perceptions of quality, purity or other benefits.2 However, the research also uncovered an exception to the rule: consumer-indulgent products. This essay provides cues for marketers, branding managers, market researchers and senior sales managers who want to enhance customer perceptions and improve their price premium.

Full textAbstract:
In the 1960s three major sociopolitical movements, the New Left, Black Power, and feminism, arose in the United States. All three represented assaults on older ideas about the nature of authority, especially as expressed in a hierarchical fashion, all attached a premium to a sense of community, which was defined narrowly to include only members of each group, and all actively sought empowerment for themselves. The present essay examines this matrix. It begins by considering briefly the common historical background and early civil rights activity that influenced and to some extent linked all three movements. The essay then traces in turn each movement's beginning, development, and situation at the end of the Sixties. It explores how these movements shared certain values, expressed those ideas in different settings, and were interrelated in myriad, shifting ways. The overall complex interaction of these three movements suggests a common social critique that was greater than the sum of its parts.

Full textAbstract:
This essay raises a number of theses in support for a more liberalised approach to EU Net Neutrality rules. It offers a graded system of levels of regulatory intervention, arguing that soft Net Neutrality rules are capable of meeting all positive objectives of regulation without causing the problems generated by hard Net Neutrality rules, such as those currently in place in the EU. Hard Net Neutrality rules prevent Internet Service Providers (ISPs) from making disruptive innovations. Meanwhile, they enable some Content and Application Providers (CAPs) to monopolise many markets via (disruptive) innovations, resulting in newly established dominant positions which have, in many instances, been abused. The hypothesis of the essay is that loosening the rules on Net Neutrality would create competition between ISPs and CAPs as well as (which is even more important) between different CAPs for limited premium speed traffic. Such newly established competition could remedy some antitrust conundrums faced by EU competition enforcers and sectorial regulators vis-à-vis disruptive innovators in the area of electronic communications.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis essay critically examines T. O. Elias's international legal scholarship, especially in so far as he sought to reclaim, or claim, a place in international legal history for Africa. Having found that Africa contributed to the formation of international law, Elias argued in favour of reforming its rules so that they could serve the interests of the newly independent African states. In this respect he influenced many contemporary international lawyers in Africa and elsewhere. In particular, his singling out of sovereignty as a barrier to reforming international law is shared by generations of international legal scholars who have criticized states for placing too high a premium on their sovereignty, thereby placing insuperable barriers to their acceptance of egalitarian goals, expressed by, for example, the international bill of human rights. The essay also contrasts Elias to scholars of international law who took the colonial legacy of international law as a barrier to reforming it so that it was consistent with the interests of so-called post-colonial African states.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores the impact of the macroeconomic climate on luxury marketing strategies, focusing on how economic factors such as inflation, interest rates, and consumer confidence influence the behavior of luxury brands. In times of economic prosperity, luxury brands often adopt aggressive marketing strategies, targeting all client profiles. Conversely, during economic turndowns, these brands may shift towards strategies that enhance high-society clients, emphasizing exclusiveness and premium positioning. By examining case studies and market data, this essay highlights the adaptability of luxury marketing strategies to changing economic conditions, ensuring sustained brand desirability and customer loyalty. However, the luxury industry’s confidential nature and limited recordings of their marketing strategies indicate the need for further research.

Li, Wei-Xuan. "Two Essays on Liquidity Essay I: Information Related Trading on Two Nearly Identical Options Essay II: The Importance of the Liquidity Premium in the Presence of Declining Transactions Cost." ScholarWorks@UNO, 2008. http://scholarworks.uno.edu/td/893.
Full textAbstract:
In the first essay, I examine the impact of the introduction of exchange traded funds (ETFs) options on the information related trading of index options. Two option pairs, NASDAQ 100 index (NDX) and ETF (QQQ, currently QQQQ ) options, and Standard and Poor's 500 index (SPX) options and S & P Depository Receipts (SPY) options, are studied. I test the hypothesis, based on the theory of Chowdhry and Nanda (1991), and Admati and Pleiderer (1988), that the information component of spreads for index options should decline after ETF options were introduced. The method of George, Kaul and Nimalendran (1991) is used to estimate the adverse selection proportion of log quoted spread and revenue from quoted spread. Primary results show that the adverse selection component of index options declines after the introduction of ETF options, and that the adverse selection component of options on index ETFs is greater than that of options on index, suggesting more informed trading for ETF options. The second essay examines whether the liquidity premium decreases as the costs of transactions decline. Nine liquidity measures are estimated to form liquidity deciles portfolios. I use several benchmark asset pricing models in fixed and rolling 36-month samples to estimate time variation liquidity premia. Surprisingly, the results show that the liquidity premium does not monotonically decline over time, and it increases in the period from 2001 to 2006. This is inconsistent with the implication of liquidity-adjusted capital asset pricing models (L-CAPM). It is likely that the liquidity premium is generated by size and book-to-market factors, rather than the liquidity factor.

Previous issue date: 2014-05-23<br>This dissertation is composed of three related essays on the relationship between illiquidity and returns. Chapter 1 describes the time-series properties of the relationship between market illiquidity and market return using both yearly and monthly datasets. We find that stationarized versions of the illiquidity measure have a positive, significant, and puzzling high premium. In Chapter 2, we estimate the response of illiquidity to a shock to returns, assuming that causality runs from returns to illiquidity and find that an increase in firms' returns lowers illiquidity. In Chapter 3 we take both effects into account and account for the endogeneity of returns and illiquidity to estimate the liquidity premium. We find evidence that the illiquidity premium is a smaller than the previous evidence suggests. Finally, Chapter 4 shows topics for future research where we describe a return decomposition with illiquidity costs.

Full textAbstract:
Value premium, which is the return difference between value and growth stocks, is one of the most important asset pricing anomalies. Value stocks tend to have more returns than growth stocks. And though, researchers agree about the existence of value premium, they tend to disagree about the reasons behind it. There are three main explanations of the value premium. Firstly, value premium is a compensation for risk. This risk is captured systematically by asset pricing models, raised by firm characteristics or measured through business cycle phases. Secondly, value premium is a result of misspricing caused by investors’ behaviour. Finally, value premium is not an anomaly at all, it is a result of data bias. The unsettled debate around value premium shows the need for more re- search into this problem. This study is different from previous work in several important areas. Firstly, the period of study is divided into two subperiods, the pre-1992 and the post-1992 period. This division will (i) reduce the effect of the missing data: and (ii) test the efficent market hypothesis, where the value premium becomes more known. Secondly, the risk of value and growth stocks is really tested by comparing their risk at the same level of returns. Thirdly, the reaction to earnings surprises around the quarterly returns in- stead of yearly returns is investigated. Finally, whether optimized value and growth portfolios can produce more returns than equal weighted ones is tested. I find that: (i) value premium is significant for the pre-1992 and post-1992 periods alike. But after controlling for size, value premium exists only for the smallest size quintile; (ii) the January effect causes the value premium for the smallest size quintile in the post-1992 period but not on the pre-1992 period; (iii) Fama and French’s three factor model fails to explain the returns of the small size portfolios in the post-1992 period; (iv) value premium is not an effect of worsening conditions of the business cycle; (v) value stocks are riskier than growth stocks, but this is not the cause of value premium. Growth stocks have more returns than value stocks at the same levels of risk; (vi) analysts are more optimistic about value stocks but this is not the cause of value premium. Growth stocks are more affected by negative earnings surprise than value stocks; finally, (vii) the optimised value and growth portfolios can produce more out of sample returns than the equally weighted ones regardless of the length of the estimation period.

Thesis: Ph. D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Economics, 2016.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (pages 185-191).<br>The thesis consists of three essays on how macroeconomic policy can be an important determinant of risk premium and how variations in risk premium may affect macroeconomic policy. Unconventional monetary policy represents a main example of how the transmission of macroeconomic policy is mediated by movements in risk premium. In the first essay, I examine how unconventional monetary policy affects asset prices by reallocating risk in the economy. I consider an environment with heterogeneity in risk tolerance and limited asset market participation. Risk-tolerant investors take leveraged positions, exposing the economy to balance sheet recessions. Limited asset market participation implies the balance sheet of the central bank is non-neutral. Unconventional monetary policy reduces the risk premium and endogenous volatility. During balance sheet recessions, asset purchases boost investment and growth. In contrast, during normal times, the expectation of future interventions reduces growth. Leveraged institutions respond to the policy by reducing risk-taking relatively more than risk-averse investors. As risk concentration falls, the probability of negative tail-events is reduced, enhancing financial stability. An important determinant of entrepreneurial activity in developing countries is the amount of risk the entrepreneur must bear. The second essay, joint with Robert M. Townsend, analyzes the risk-taking behavior of entrepreneurs. Using data from a survey conducted in villages in Thailand, we document substantial heterogeneity in entrepreneurial activity. The fraction of net worth invested by entrepreneurs in risky activities decreases over the life cycle. Consumption-to-wealth ratio is U-shaped, being high for young and old entrepreneurs. We propose a model that captures both the life cycle patterns and limited idiosyncratic insurance observed in the Thai data. An expansion in idiosyncratic insurance will reduce the idiosyncratic risk premium, increasing the proportion of wealth invested in risky activities and aggregate output. However, as the return on the project falls, entrepreneurs accumulate less wealth, reducing their welfare in the long-run. The third essay studies the optimal response of fiscal policy to a risk premium shock when a country is in a currency union. In the context of an open economy New Keynesian model, I show that the government should not deviate from the optimal provision of public goods at an attempt to stabilize the economy. A consumption tax is used to lean against the wind and reduce the real interest rate in the presence of a positive risk premium shock. A VAT tax allows the government to independently influence the terms of trade. Optimal fiscal policy has the property of being revenue-generating. Therefore, there is not necessarily a trade off between stabilization policy and fiscal consolidation.<br>by Dejanir Henrique Silva.<br>Ph. D.

Tian, Shu. "Essays on Stock Market Liquidity and Liquidity Risk Premium." ScholarWorks@UNO, 2010. http://scholarworks.uno.edu/td/1153.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation addresses issues concerning liquidity and its volatility. It consists of two essays. The first essay, "Liquidity, Macro Factors and the U.S. Equity Flows to Emerging Markets", examines the role of liquidity on equity flows from the U.S. to fifteen emerging markets around the world. Since liquidity has many dimensions, an emphasis is placed on utilizing various measures of liquidity. Moreover, both static and dynamic analyses, as well as short and long-horizon regressions, are performed to investigate the research questions. The results suggest that a liquid market attracts flows, after controlling for market size, political openness, exchange rate and other macro factors. Additionally, evidence indicates that the importance of liquidity varies across regions. For instance in the Asian region, the relation between equity flows and volume-related liquidity is weak while that between flows and price impacts of trading is strong. Evidence also supports the relevance of macro factors such as a country's economic freedom. The second essay, "Liquidity Risk Premium Puzzle and Possible Explanations", attempts to resolve the liquidity risk puzzle: a negative relation between returns and liquidity risk, documented by Chordia, Subrahmanyam, and Anshuman (2001b), by employing alternative liquidity measures and by incorporating factors that might potentially affect the relation. The main findings are as follows. The relation between stock returns and volatility of liquidity depends on the measure of liquidity. When liquidity measures are based on trading volume, the results are largely mixed, but when liquidity is measured based on price impact of trading, the relation between returns and volatility of price impacts is positive, as expected. The results are sensitive to time periods examined. Moreover, during extreme down markets, the aversion to liquidity volatility is lower, suggesting behavioral bias might potentially address the puzzle. Empirical findings also suggest that liquidity risk premium tends to be greater for small stocks. Finally, when the VIX index is included as a proxy for investor sentiment, the results indicate that the relation between returns and liquidity risk is significantly positive in four out of five liquidity measures. In sum, the empirical analysis partially but not completely addresses the puzzle.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is formed of three chapters. The first chapter examines the effect on social mobility and economic growth following the introduction of reprogenetic technology such that parents can choose to invest in the talent or ability of their unborn children. I find that if the economy is initially in a steady state such that social mobility is low, the introduction of such technology can increase social mobility and economic growth. If the economy is initially in a steady state such that social mobility is high, then the introduction of such technology will not increase (and may decrease) social mobility and will not affect economic growth. The second chapter is a review of the literature on how immigration affects wages focusing on studies of the US and UK labour markets. The third chapter analyses how the skill premium depends on the relative supply of high and low skilled workers in the economy, and the size of the economy. Using a two-sector model where one sector is more skill-intensive than the other, and returns to scale are larger in the skill-intensive sector, I find that the skill premium depends positively on the size of the economy. I consider the effect of an exogenous increase in the number of skilled workers (perhaps due to immigration) on the skill premium and find that under certain conditions the skill premium may increase. I then analyse the effect on the skill premium and the relative price of the skill intensive good in the short and long run and compare the models predictions to the data.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation consists of two chapters. The first chapter shows that the measurement errors in betas for stocks induce corresponding measurement errors in alphas and a spurious negative covariance between the estimated betas and alphas across stocks. This negative covariance between the estimated betas and alphas results in a violation of the independence assumption between the independent variable (betas) and error terms in the Fama-MacBeth regressions of tests of the CAPM, thereby creating a downward bias in the estimated market risk premiums. The procedure of using portfolio returns and betas does not necessarily eliminate this bias. Depending upon the grouping variable used to form portfolios, the negative covariance between estimated betas and alphas can be increased, decreased, and can even be made positive. This paper proposes two methods for correcting the downward bias in the estimated market risk premium. The estimated market risk premiums are consistent with the CAPM after the proposed corrections.
The second chapter provides evidence that when the ex-post market risk premium is positive (up markets), the relation between returns and betas is positive, significant, and consistent with the CAPM. However, when the ex-post market risk premium is negative (down markets), the negative relation between betas and returns is significant, but stronger than what is implied by the CAPM. This strong negative relation offsets the positive relation, resulting in an insignificant relation between returns and betas for the overall period. The negative relation between size and returns, after controlling for beta differences, is present only when the ex-post market risk premium is negative, and is responsible for the negative relation for the overall period. This paper decomposes the negative relation between size and returns after controlling for beta differences into the intercept size effect (relation between alphas of stocks and their size) and the residual size effect (relation between residuals of stocks and their size). The asymmetrical size effect between up and down market is being driven by the residual size effect. Long term mean reversion in returns explains, in part, the negative relation between size and returns during down markets.<br>Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractWe study the question to what extent the task of predicting the quality of student essays can be supported with computing “flows” of semantic types of argumentative units. Specifically, we use tagsets for claim and premise types that were recently applied to the Argument Annotated Essays corpus (AAE; Stab/Gurevych 2017) by Schaefer et al (2023). We train argument component and semantic type classification models on AAE and then use them to label the essays in two corpora that have numeric essay ratings, viz. FEEDBACK/PERSUADE and ICLE. We train linear classification models on flow features and find that flows of our semantic types are a better predictor for essay quality (in a simplified, good/bad dichotomy) than flows of coarse argument components (major claim, claim, premise). Finally, we calculate feature impact and perform a qualitative inspection, which shows some tendencies for pattern occurrence in the two essay classes.

Full textAbstract:
The essay explores the legal effects of gambling from the perspective of relevant civil law regulations. Starting from the premise of the legal system's neutrality towards gambling, it investigates the implications of loans provided for gambling purposes and how the legal framework can be interpreted considering the subjective condition of addiction that characterizes individuals suffering from pathological gambling disorder. Additionally, it considers the issue of incapacity among gambling addicts, which prompts an examination of addiction within the context of vulnerable individuals and justifications for protective measures that limit their legal capacity to act.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractKlaas Sijtsma has suggested that psychological constructs, such as those invoked in the study of intelligence, personality, and psychopathology, should be understood as organizing principles with respect to elements of behavior, including item response behavior. In a discussion in the journal Psychometrika, Sijtsma (Psychometrika, 71(3), 451–455 (2006)) contrasted this position with the common cause interpretation of Item Response Theory (IRT) models and the associated theory of validity that I had articulated some years earlier (Borsboom, Psychological Review, 111(4), 1061–1071 (2004)), arguing that this theory of validity was far too strong given the immature status of psychological constructs. In the present chapter, I present an alternative understanding of IRT models in terms of psychometric networks, which is inspired by Sijtsma’s idea of constructs as organizing principles. From the weak premise that psychological constructs organize behaviors, in the sense of identifying behavioral elements that structurally hang together, in the present chapter, I show how one can build up a psychometric approach that can motivate and guide the use of tests in psychology in the absence of strong common cause interpretations.

Cet essai pose la question de savoir si plusieurs penseurs présocratiques, dont Empédocle, Anaxagore et Démocrite, ont envisagé l’idée que les humains et les plantes possèdent la sensation (et la pensée), et si une telle capacité implique un mode d’existence commun. Nous nous efforçons de répondre à ces questions en nous penchant sur le phénomène de la sensation. Dans un premier temps, nous examinons les constitutions corporelles de l’homme et de la plante, en nous appuyant sur les récits de l’origine de la vie fournis par les premiers philosophes grecs. Ensuite, nous analysons le mécanisme de la sensation, en partant de l’hypothèse que les capacités partagées et les distinctions relatives entre les humains et Résumés 227 les plantes découlent d’une nature compatible, plus profonde, qui dépend de leur émergence initiale dans le monde.

Full textAbstract:
Does the problem of lying and self-deception and then conscience confronted with lying bear any ethical and political significance? The aim of this essay is to analyse the relation of lies, self-deception and conscience to political morality. The article argues that the oversimplifying statement ‘the essence of politics is lying’ is in fact false. If we consider politics as the art of deception, and not as a discourse on the common good, then our erroneous premise is that all political scheming is entirely independent from us, and we have helplessly fallen victims to the lies provided by politics. However, in fact our (false) hopes, illusions, (unfounded) desires and expectations, and (real or imagined) fears generate all the mendacious acts in politics. How does a liar’s conscience perceive their own lies? What is conscience anyway, always catching us in the act? It reproaches us tactlessly (Did I do right?) or it condemns us unappealably (I did wrong). It accuses and defends. Paradoxically, it accuses to defend. This article also argues that self-deception is not a question of conscience, but of self-awareness. In deceiving ourselves, we create a personal reality of desires different from objective reality. Lacking self-reflection will drift us away from reality, and eventually it may become a generator and a plaything of political lies. The question is: to what extent is our aspiration for truth and our ability to selfreflection able to counterbalance mendacious political attitudes? Kant, as a representative of relentless truth-telling, believed that distorting the truth is immoral, and indicates lack of conscience. If we violate the principle of telling the truth in all circumstances, it means that we are capable of lying to ourselves, then to others as well, and others will also lie to us. The political sphere will exploit and make use of the potential of such dispositions.

Full textAbstract:
This essay examines notorious crimes perpetrated by the military men during the chaotic Five Dynasties and Ten States period (907–979) based on both official histories and biji筆記 accounts. Rapidly shifting political rule, contested boundaries, an excessively premium on martial values, and tensions between the military (wu武) and the civil (wen文) all contributed to the violence and instability of the day. The unending wars and volatile politics fostered an environment wherein a widespread contempt for human life became commonplace, particularly among the military men who rose to power through combat and slaughter.

Abstract ‘There are many good reasons for valuing the Letters [of Seneca]: for their realism of scene and language, for their psychological revelations, for their brilliant technique. But we shall not read them right if we do not also take the main theme seriously.’ Thus Donald Russell advises us near the end of his characteristically sympathetic and illuminating guide to reading Seneca’s Letters. My own study, which is concerned with a point of Stoic doctrine, starts, as it happens, from the passage with which Donald’s essay ends, the conclusion of Letter 90. Another of his comments is worth repeating before we begin: he frankly acknowledges that ‘In much of this letter, Seneca, as elsewhere, appears diffuse, unsubtle, incoherent in his moral vehemence.’ One may add that, with the rhetorical training that set a high premium on finding an unfamiliar twist to a familiar topic, he was well capable of devising a new angle on an ethical problem, which makes it sometimes hard to decide whether in a given passage a sketchily presented idea is a novel improvisation of his own or an adumbration of established Stoic doctrine. One must proceed by probing the coherence of the ideas in a given passage with what is found elsewhere in Seneca and other Stoic sources. That is what I shall seek to do with some of the ideas at the end of Letter 90.

Em muitas organizações, a infraestrutura de TI é um ponto crítico e está sujeita a monitoramento contínuo no processo de gestão estratégica de riscos. Ela deve ser capaz de fornecer suporte a serviços e sistemas de forma segura, com alto desempenho e baixa latência. Assim, as abordagens tradicionais de infraestrutura de TI, conhecidas como on-premise, precisam ser otimizadas, aliadas ao suporte dos serviços em nuvem. No contexto da administração pública federal no Brasil e da indústria farmacêutica, essa combinação é ainda mais desafiadora, pois envolve orientações de órgãos reguladores – como a Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (ANVISA), que se preocupa em manter as Boas Práticas de Fabricação dos produtos farmacêuticos (BPF) – e regulamentações recentes ou de certo modo incipientes do Governo Federal Brasileiro, quando se trata do uso de serviços em nuvem. Este trabalho, portanto, propõe uma estratégia de migração da infraestrutura de TI on-premise para multicloud, passando pelas fases da Engenharia de Requisitos (elicitação, análise e negociação, documentação, verificação e validação), a fim de gerenciar os principais aspectos jurídicos, financeiros e técnicos, incluindo equipamentos de rede, servidores, aplicações e serviços de suporte na indústria pública farmacêutica.

Resumen-Abstract El Premio Nacional de fotografía 2004, Ramón Masats Tartera (Caldes de Montbui, 1931), ha sido considerado como un fotógrafo intuitivo. Sin embargo, un detenido estudio de sus fotolibros y ensayos fotográficos publicados en las revistas ilustradas, permiten revindicar otra faceta completamente desconocida: su labor como maquetador. A lo largo de su carrera Masats toma conciencia de la edición fotográfica. Desde la solitaria imagen de la noticia de un periódico, al ensayo fotográfico, entendido desde el punto de vista de E. Smith como un conjunto mayor de imágenes que profundizan y trascienden, permitiendo un reflexión más detenida de la historia que se cuenta; hasta llegar al foto libro, considerado como una unidad expresiva, un todo con significación completa: el formato más complejo de todos... Un Masats sofisticado y erudito se nos muestra consciente del montaje, del ritmo, del diálogo entre imágenes, de modo que la suma altera la percepción del conjunto. Un lenguaje que le llevará finalmente a explorar en el mundo del montaje cinematográfico y la dirección de documentales audiovisuales. En una época de auténtica explosión del fotolibro español como la que vivimos, conviene reconocer, recordar y aprender de nuestros antecedentes, de aquellos maestros en el arte de contar historias. The National Photography Prize 2004, Ramón Masats Tartera (Caldes de Montbui, 1931), has traditionally been considered an intuitive photographer. However, a careful study of his photographs and photographic essays published in illustrated magazines unveils another aspect of his craft completely unknown until now: his work as a layout artist. Throughout his career Masats pays great attention to photographic edition: from the lonely image published besides the news in a newspaper, to the photographic essay, understood from E. Smith’s point of view as “a greater set of images that deepen and transcend leading the viewers to a more detailed reflection of the story that is being told; until reaching the photo book, which is considered an expressive unit, a whole with a complete meaning: definitely the most complex format of all. A sophisticated and academic Masats reveals a whole new aspect of his personality, showing his awareness of the layout, the rhythm and the dialogue between images, so that the sum and disposition of the images alter the perception of the whole. A language that will finally lead him to explore the world of filmmaking and the direction of audiovisual documentaries. In an age in which the Spanish photobook is at its peak, it is good to look back and give credit, remember and learn from our background, from those teachers in the art of storytelling.

Full textAbstract:
A carcinicultura é um dos setores da aquicultura mais proeminentes no Brasil. No estado do Rio de Janeiro, essa atividade possui um enorme potencial de crescimento comercial, ofertando alimentação alternativa, proporcionando empregos e renda, e desenvolvimento tecnológico. Assim, dada a sua importância a FIPERJ identificou através de um planejamento estratégico, adversidades que debilitam o desenvolvimento pleno da cadeia produtiva aquícola, com destaque para ações de regularização, ordenamento, gestão, desenvolvimento de novas tecnologias e treinamento técnico. Como forma de apresentar soluções, o projeto “Treinamento e Capacitação Técnica em regularização, ordenamento, gestão, manejo e desenvolvimento de novas tecnologias de atividades aquícolas promissoras” foi proposto, dando ênfase na prática e no treinamento dos agentes da cadeia produtiva. Sendo esse trabalho referente a bolsa ativa para Treinamento e Capacitação Técnica de modalidade 4, como médica veterinária, na área da carcinicultura, em parceria com a fazenda Biomar Camarões Premium, localizada no município de Guapimirim-RJ. Em que, foram realizadas atividades como rotinas de manejo, apoio a conservação das estruturas, biometrias, monitoramento das variáveis físico-químicas, e treinamento técnico. Além dessas, foi pensado e executado um programa que visa conciliar a produção de camarão em questão com a sanidade desses animais, preconizando-a, objetivando a prevenção, o controle e erradicação de doenças no cultivo. Uma vez que, no ciclo anterior na fazenda houve uma perda média de 300kg de camarão, que apresentavam sinais clínicos que sugeriram infecção por Mionecrose Infecciosa, ocasionando um grande prejuízo ao produtor. A partir do conhecimento desse fato e de que a fazenda não possuía um plano profilático em relação as práticas de manejo e biossegurança, foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica referente a doença ocorrida, e a elaboração de questionários direcionados ao produtor. Dessa forma, foi criado um Plano de Ação Técnico/Operacional de Boas Práticas de Manejo e Biossegurança voltado para o ciclo produtivo da fazenda Biomar, que analisa e acompanha a forma de manejo aplicado diariamente, a sanidade e integridade dos camarões desde a chegada na fazenda, verificando os procedimentos de protocolo para manuseio e aclimatação das pós-larvas, até a despesca para comercialização. Para isso, foram realizadas análises macroscópicas e microscópicas em laboratório, das estruturas externas e internas, monitorando a saúde dos camarões em todas as fases do ciclo. Posteriormente foi avaliado a necessidade da aplicabilidade do Plano, uma vez que, a estrutura da fazenda apresenta falhas que comprometem a produção, sendo necessário praticar com rigor conforme o recomendado.
