Abstract:

<p> Recommender systems are increasingly driving user experiences on the Internet. In recent years, online social networks have quickly become the fastest growing part of the Web. The rapid growth in social networks presents a substantial opportunity for recommender systems to leverage social data to improve recommendation quality, both for recommendations intended for individuals and for groups of users who consume content together. This thesis shows that incorporating social indicators improves the predictive performance of group-based and individual-based recommender systems. We analyze the

Abstract:

Over the past few years, the expectations of stakeholders regarding Sustainable Development have strengthened the importance of CSR or Sustainable Development practices in companies. In France, NRE laws and more recently the Grenelle Environment Forum required from companies to disclose and publish information on environmental, social and societal issues. On the international level, the Global Reporting Initiative gives a framework for CSR reporting. Companies tend to improve their CSR policies by setting action plans, objectives, and publishing dedicated reports. Subsequently, to assess their

Abstract:

Renneboog et al (2008) argue that it remains to be seen whether corporate social responsibility (CSR) can be priced. In light of this, this thesis tests the performance and market valuation of CSR indicators by using a comprehensive set of KLD indicators. Chapter Three of this thesis examines the effect of CSR on financial performance by incorporating CSR into the investment process. As no clear break point is found for the normalised KLD score, the net KLD score is used as an alternative portfolio metric. In addition, most KLD indicators are found to have insignificant alphas for the high-sco

Accounting for social impacts in supply chain analysis is of increasing importance. Global trade has increased significantly since 1970, as has inequality. As global supply chains have become more prevalent, the need to understand and analyse these supply chains has also grown. Excellent work on quantitative analysis of environmental impacts in supply chains has taken place in the past two decades. However, relatively few methodologies have been applied to quantitative analysis of social impacts in supply chains. This thesis considers how social indicators for supply chain analysis can be dev

Given a big set of data with several variables, the aim is the evaluation of each unit with a method that produces a synthetic measure describing a complex and non-observable concept; this goal is achieved respecting the characteristics of the variables, specially the measurement scale. The information gathered with partially ordered sets (poset) reflects this aim, because posets depends only on the order relations among the observations, and allows to handle ordinal and dichotomous variables fairly. In this setting, the vector of variables observed on a unit is handled as a unique entity c

Social values have not been successfully integrated into the study of a heritage place. Neglecting the social values poses risks to the comprehensive and successful conservation.
