Full textAbstract:
The main objective of this paper is to equip the trade policy analyst with an appropriate method of seasonally adjusting trade data with weekly observations. To that end, a structural time series model containing a trend, seasonal and irregular component is specified. The seasonal component is represented by a time-varying periodic spline. Casting the model in state-space form enables time-varying parameters as well as use of the powerful Kalman filter for trend estimation. The resulting trend can then be interpreted as a seasonally adjusted series. A simulation exercise shows that the correct trend is identified with an average absolute error of 0.4 percent. An application to Swedish imports during 2017-2021 shows that the model produces a reasonable trend estimate when applied in 'real-time' and that its application is preferred to smoothing the series using a simple moving average.

Full textAbstract:
Several studies have claimed to have found significant weekly cycles of meteorological variables appearing over large domains, which can hardly be related to urban effects exclusively. Nevertheless, there is still an ongoing scientific debate whether these large-scale weekly cycles exist
or not, and some other studies fail to reproduce them with statistical significance. In addition to the lack of the positive proof for the existence of these cycles, their possible physical explanations have been controversially discussed during the last years. In this work we review the main results about this topic published during the recent two decades, including a summary of the existence or non-existence of significant
weekly weather cycles across different regions of the world, mainly over the US, Europe and Asia. In addition, some shortcomings of common statistical methods for analyzing weekly cycles are listed. Finally, a brief summary of supposed causes of the weekly cycles, focusing on the
aerosol-cloud-radiation interactions and their impact on meteorological
variables as a result of the weekly cycles of anthropogenic activities, and possible directions for future research, is presented.

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIROA presente dissertação tem por objetivo o estudo quantitativo da previsão da demanda de carga elétrica semanal para a região sudeste e em particular, para os Estados do Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo. Foram estudadas para tanto as séries reais dos últimos 7(sete) anos, ou seja, de janeiro de 1991 a novembro de 1997 das concessionárias LIGHT, CERJ, CESP, CPFL e ELETROPAULO. Para o estudo de previsão foi utilizado o conceito in sample, ou seja, parte real dos dados foram separados e mais tarde comparados com os valores previstos experimentalmente para aquela mesma época dos dados reais separados. Desta forma, permitiu-se averiguar qual seria a precisão da previsão, verificando-se os erros entre os valores experimentais e reais. Para os cálculos das previsões, também foi utilizado o conceito de bayesiano de combinação de previsões (outperformance) das duas técnicas a saber: redes neurais artificiais (software Neunet) e o modelo clássico Box & Jenkins (software Autobox). Para se obter o valor combinado das previsões, foi utilizado software matlab que se comportou de maneira adequada para o estudo em questão. Além disso vale acrescentar que o software Neunet foi utilizado, pois possui em seu ambiente a técnica de eliminação de sinapses enquadra-se dentro do conceito de redes neurais multicamadas com retropropagação dos erros.
The goal of this dissertation is to present a quantitative study in time series of weekly electrical charge demand at the southeast region, particulary at Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. In this work will be analysed the last 7 years, from january 1991 to november of 1997. The next time series were study: LIGHT, CERJ, CESP, CPFL and ELETROPAULO. Aimming to test the model against real data the concept of sample data was utilized in this dissertation. Another concept used in this work was outperformance. Outperformance is a Bayesian concept that involves the combination of two or more techniques in order to enchance the forecasting results. Artificial neural network and Box and Jenkins method are combined in this work. It is also interesting to notice that weight elimination, which is a new ANN technique, proved to be faster then classical back- propagation and yielded better results.

Full textAbstract:
The finding of reversals in weekly returns has been attributed to a combination of microstructure issues and overreaction to information. I provide new evidence eliminating overreaction as a source of reversal. I show that well-known weekly contrarian profits are followed by a long run of momentum profits. In fact, these profits are strong enough to produce a significant momentum effect over the full year following portfolio formation. Thus, the market does not appear to view extreme weekly returns as excessive, as implied by an overreaction story. To the contrary, this return continuation is consistent with underreaction to the news driving extreme weekly returns. This is supported by cross-sectional tests in which I find this week's news is positively related to next week's returns. The evidence presented here is consistent with growing evidence that underreaction to firm-specific information is a pervasive feature of price formation. Therefore, if any short-run contrarian profits can be realized, they are better viewed as compensation for providing liquidity than as a reward for arbitrage.

Full textAbstract:
De senaste åren har konkurrensen inom textilbranschen ökat avsevärt. Produkter på modemarknaden är fler. Den förändrade efterfrågan ifrån kunder innebär att kunden kräver nyheter oftare och det har lett till snabba trendväxlingar. Ledtider måste kortas om modeföretag ska vara beredda på de snabba trendväxlingarna. De korta ledtiderna ställer krav på effektivitet och flexibilitet i företagens processer. Det gäller för modeföretag att hitta en effektiv inköpsstrategi och styrning av supply chain. Men det räcker dock inte, vi menar att grunden till effektivitet i företagens processer är att alla i företaget vet vart de är på väg, att alla arbetar mot samma vision och mål. Ellos är ett distanshandelsföretag, som konkurrerar i modebranschen. Att vara ett distanshandelsföretag innebär långa ledtider då även en katalog ska tryckas. Ellos startade för ett år sedan ett nytt koncept som de kallar Pronto Moda. Pronto Moda ska konkurrera med återförsäljare som ligger trendmässigt i framkant och produkterna ska endast säljas på Ellos hemsida. Pronto Moda ställer andra krav på distanshandelsföretaget Ellos. Syftet med uppsatsen är att identifiera och ge förslag på förbättringsområden för Pronto Moda för att konceptet ska bli mer konkurrenskraftigt. För att få en klar bild av hur Pronto Modas organisation ser ut idag har sex personliga djupintervjuer utförts på Ellos med personal inom områdena, sortiment, Internetkollektioner, logistik, export/import samt inköp. I arbetet med uppsatsen har vi haft ett hermeneutiskt synsätt som innebär att våra subjektiva uppfattningar påverkar tolkandet. Forskningsansatsen är abduktiv, alltså pendlas mellan teori och empiri. Det empiriska materialet har analyserats efter fördjupade teoretiska studier Teorin appliceras i analysen på empirin. Avslutningsvis presenteras, utifrån analysen, diskussion och slutsats.Sex områden, inom Pronto Moda, som behöver ses över har identifieras. Områdena är, vision & affärsidé, intern marknadsföring, tvärfunktionella team, supply chain, inköpsprocessen samt produktutveckling. Även hur Pronto Moda bör förbättra områdena för att bli mer konkurrenskraftiga ges förslag på. Vi anser bland annat att, vision och affärsidé bör fastställas för Pronto Moda och kommuniceras ut i organisationen. Vi menar också att inköpsavdelningen bör integreras mer i Pronto Modas inköpsprocess och så vidare.Uppsatsnivå: C

Full textAbstract:
For many years, Sales and Operations Plannning process, or S&OP, had been considered as the promise of alignment between demand and supply that would provide the solution to all planning problems to companies. However, time has shown that in volatile planning environments with high levels of uncertainty, the traditional planning hierarchi, S&OP aligned with MPS, no longer provides all the expected benefits, failing to meet the expectations of numerous organizations that have put great efforts to implement it. As result, in recent years, there have been adaptations of planning processes to meet the need for alignment in highly dynamic environments. These adaptations have often appeared in the form of a weekly \"S&OP\", with short-term horizon, weekly frequency and low level of plans aggregation. However, a more sophisticated solution found to address the need for more agile planning was the creation of a new process that aims to link S&OP to the Master Production Schedule (MPS) called Sales and Operations Execution (S&OE). Although the subject has arisen for some time, studies on the subject are scarce. Thus, the goal of this research is to formalize this process in academic literature in an in-depth way. For this, it was carried out a broad literature review, case studies in four companies that sought to explore how S&OE process occurs in practice. From the analysis resulting from the case studies, both individual and cross-case, it was proposed a model of the process using BPMN language and a list of all the main process characteristics. This model was compared to the existing literature to analyze its convergence and it can be considered transferable given the same conditions of application. It was possible to conclude that S&OE is a process that performs the breakdown of the S&OP plans to the execution in a way that is more aligned with the business goals than the traditional MPS application isolated.Durante muitos anos, o processo de Sales and Operations Plannning, ou S&OP, foi visto como a promessa de alinhamento entre demanda e suprimentos que traria a solução para todos os problemas de planejamento nas empresas. Entretanto, o tempo mostrou que em ambientes de planejamento voláteis e com alto nível de incertezas, a hierarquia de planejamento tradicional, S&OP alinhado ao MPS, já não proporciona todos os benefícios esperados, falhando em atender as expectativas das inúmeras organizações que empregaram grandes esforços em sua implementação. Como resultado, nos últimos anos, surgiram adaptações dos processos de planejamento para atender a necessidade de alinhamento em ambientes altamente dinâmicos. Estas adaptações apareceram, muitas vezes, no formato de um \"S&OP semanal\", com horizonte de curto prazo, frequência semanal e baixo nível de agregação dos planos. Entretanto, uma solução mais sofisticada que o mercado encontrou para sanar a necessidade de planejamentos mais ágeis foi a criação de um novo processo que faz o elo entre o S&OP e o Master Production Schedule (MPS), chamado Sales and Operations Execution, o S&OE. Apesar de já ter surgido há algum tempo, estudos sobre o tema são bastante escassos. Assim, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi formalizar este processo na literatura acadêmica de maneira aprofundada. Para tal, foi realizada uma ampla revisão de literatura, estudos de caso em quatro empresas que buscaram explorar como o processo de S&OE ocorre na prática. A partir da análise resultante dos estudos de caso, tanto individual quanto inter-casos, foi proposto um modelo do processo em linguagem BPMN e uma listagem de todas as principais características do processo. Este modelo foi comparado à literatura existente para analisar sua convergência e pode ser considerado transferível dadas as mesmas condições de aplicação. Foi possível concluir que o S&OE é um processo que desagrega os planos do S&OP para a execução de uma maneira mais alinhada com os objetivos do negócio do que a aplicação isolada tradicional do MPS.

Full textAbstract:
This study was designed to research whether the conditions that give rise to exemplar effects in experimental designs are present in the real world, specifically by conducting a comprehensive content analysis of news articles in weekly U.S. news magazines. Exemplification studies the relationship between examples and the larger population they represent, and how examples effect consumer's perceptions and behaviors (Zillmann & Brosius, 2000). In experimental design several independent variable have been tested and have shown that people's perceptions fall largely in line with the emphasis of the exemplars presented. A stratified random sample of magazines, representative of a whole year, was obtained for TIME and Newsweek. An intercoder reliability test was performed with 11% of the sample. Eighty-seven articles met the coding requirements and generated 873 exemplars. This research developed a significant number of operational definitions and procedures for content analysis of exemplars. A discussion of issues arising in of content analysis that were not manifest in experimental designs is presented such as non-news articles, the presence of bias, and multiple article foci. The concept of primary base rate data, the reasonable reader test, and expanded definitions of visual exemplars are also presented.Several of the conditions that gave rise to exemplification effects in experimental designs were present. Eighty percent of articles had more exemplars than counterexemplars; Sixteen percent of articles contained perceptually enhanced base rate data; Ninety percent of articles contained no ratio data—meaning a judgment of how representative the exemplars were was not possible. The remaining 10% were considered to be non-representative. Some elements considered to give exemplars more influence were not common in weekly U.S. news magazine articles. Direct quotes were used in only 27% of exemplars, with anecdotes comprising 51%. Similarly, the majority of exemplars (52%) came from non-attributed sources or official reports. Vivid emotion was present in only 2% of exemplars. In addition, 31% of articles were judged to be about a single exemplar, with no counterexemplars present. The most common type of image used were innocuous, with threatening images used the least. Fifty-six percent of exemplar sources were not attributed to a gender, 33% of exemplar sources were male and 7% were female. Similarly, 54% of exemplar subjects did not specify a gender, while 25% were about males and 6% were about females.

As compared to short-term forecasting (e.g., 1 day), it is often challenging to accurately forecast the volume of precipitation in a medium-term horizon (e.g., 1 week). As a result, fluctuations in water inflow can trigger generation shortage and electricity price spikes in a power system with major or predominant hydro resources. In this paper, we study a two-stage robust scheduling approach for a hydrothermal power system. We consider water inflow uncertainty and employ a vector autoregressive (VAR) model to represent its seasonality and accordingly construct an uncertainty set in the robust optimization approach. We design a Benders' decomposition algorithm to solve this problem. Results are presented for the proposed approach on a real-world case study.

Thesis (MBA (Business Management))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This research study presents an empirical quantitative research aimed primarily at establishing whether there is a need for a weekly professional and business women's newspaper. Due to the scope and costs of doing a national research, this research was narrowed to the Western Cape's Cape metropolitan region. This research is therefore a pilot study which is to provide foundations for a representative research project. A structured questionnaire-based survey was designed and used to gather data that would answer the research question. This survey was distributed amongst 200 professional women, business women and women aspiring to these positions and who are currently reading newspapers within the Cape Metropole. The questionnaire was divided into three sections. The first section was the screening section which was to ensure that all respondents are within the target group. This was followed by the demographic section which was to establish the backgrounds of respondents and the newspaper readership patterns section which aimed to understand women's readership patterns and also to answer the research questions. Findings from the survey revealed that there is a potential market for a weekly professional and business women's newspaper, as 82 percent of the 200 respondents indicated that they would be willing to buy a newspaper targeted at women. Results also revealed that these women mainly read newspapers on a Sunday. In addition the majority (65%) of the respondents indicated that they would prefer a women's newspaper to be a weekly publication. This implies that a weekly professional and business women's newspaper is a potentially viable business proposition. Although the results and literature supports the view that professional and business women are a growing market and that they are generally not satisfied with the current newspaper offerings in the market, this research is a pilot research study and should be followed by a larger scale research project to investigate this topic and better understand the needs of women. Moreover, future studies will establish more precisely the size of this market and establish whether it makes business sense to pursue this proposition.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie navorsingstudie verteenwoordig 'n empiriese kwantitatiewe navorsingstuk primêr daarop gerig om te bepaal of daar 'n behoefte bestaan vir 'n weeklikse koerant vir professionele en sakevroue. As gevolg van die omvang en koste van 'n nasionale navorsingstudie, is hierdie navorsing net gerig op die Wes-Kaapse Kaapstadse metropolitaanse streek. Hierdie navorsing is daarom 'n proefstudie wat die grondslag bied vir 'n meer verteenwoordigende navorsingsprojek. 'n Gestruktureerde vraelys-gebaseerde opname is ontwerp en gebruik om data in te samel wat die navorsingsvraag sou beantwoord. Die vraelys is onder 200 professionele vroue, sakevroue en vroue wat tot hierdie posisies aspireer versprei wat tans lesers is van koerante binne die Kaapse Metropool. Die vraelys is in drie dele verdeel. Die eerste afdeling het siftingsvrae bevat om seker te maak dat die respondente deel uitgemaak het van die teikengroep. Dit is gevolg deur ‟n demografiese afdeling wat moes bepaal wat die agtergronde van respondente was en 'n afdeling oor koerantleespatrone wat daarop gemik was om vroue se leespatrone te verstaan en ook die navorsingsvrae te beantwoord. Bevindings van die opname het getoon dat daar 'n potensiële mark is vir 'n weeklikse koerant vir professionele en sakevroue aangesien 82 persent van die 200 respondente aangedui het dat hulle bereid sou wees om 'n koerant gerig op vroue te koop. Die resultate het ook getoon dat hierdie vroue hoofsaaklik op 'n Sondag koerant lees. Verder het die meerderheid (65%) van die respondente aangedui dat hulle sou verkies dat 'n vrouekoerant 'n weeklikse publikasie is. Dit impliseer dat 'n weeklikse koerant gerig op professionele en sakevroue 'n potensieel lewensvatbare besigheidsproposisie is. Alhoewel die resultate en die literatuur die standpunt ondersteun dat professionele en sakevroue 'n groeiende mark is en dat hulle oor die algemeen nie tevrede is met die huidige koerantaanbiedinge in die mark nie, is hierdie navorsing slegs 'n proefstudie en behoort dit opgevolg te word deur 'n veel groter navorsingsprojek om hierdie onderwerp te ondersoek en die behoeftes van vroue beter te verstaan. Verdere studies sal ook meer presies kan bepaal wat die grootte van hierdie mark is en bepaal of dit besigheidsin maak om hierdie proposisie verder te voer.

Class of 2013 AbstractSpecific Aims: To determine the effectiveness of exenatide twice daily (ExBID) versus exentatide once weekly (ExQW) on weight loss in type II diabetes. Methods: This study was a meta-analysis. The studies used came from the PubMed database and Cochrane Reviews. To be included in the meta-analysis, studies must have been randomized controlled trials comparing ExBID to ExQW or drug to placebo. The studies that reported weight loss and/or HbA1C were included. Studies that included participants <18 years of age or compared only one dose of exenatide with other anti-diabetic medication without comparing to placebo were excluded. There were 13 studies that met the inclusion criteria and were included in the meta-analysis. The primary outcome was weight loss, and the secondary outcome was HbA1C levels. Meta-analysis was used to synthesize data. Main Results: The difference between ExQW and ExBID on weight loss was not statistically significant (standardized mean difference (SMD) = -0.71, CI -0.84 to -0.58 in ExQW vs SMD = 0.82, CI -1.02 to -0.62 in ExBID; p =0.36). The effect of ExQW on A1C was significantly larger than ExBID (SMD = -1.69 vs -1.07 respectively; p < 0.01). The variability was very high in the ExBID group (69% - 81%) compared to ExQW group (0%). Kendall’s tau was significant (p= 0.01) indicating that there may be publication bias. Conclusion: There is no difference in effect of weight loss between ExQW and ExBID group. Both dosages significantly improve A1C; however, ExBID has larger impact on A1C compared to ExBID.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents a study of the regulation of weekly working time in the context of the UK industrial relations system following the implementation of the working Time Directive (WTD) into UK law in 1998 and seeks to make a significant contribution to learning on the subject of enhancing the contextual sensitivity of regulatory strategies and legal mechanisms. The study offers a normative and positive evaluation of various provisions of the WTD and of reforms to the Directive proposed by the EU institutions. In particular the concern is with the provision allowing individual workers to opt-out of the 48-hour limit on average weekly working time, the provision allowing a derogation from the weekly 48-hour limit for workers whose working time is unmeasured and the provision allowing the reference period for averaging the 48-hour limit to be extended from four months to twelve months by a collectively negotiated agreement. An original qualitative empirical study, using the case study research method, investigates the application and operation of the different legal mechanisms provided for in the Directive and the perceptions of various industrial relations actors and public officials as to the efficacy of the regulatory provisions and the potential impact of prospective revisions to the WTD. This original empirical material is supplemented by a meta-analysis of existing qualitative and quantitative data that investigates the health, social and economic effects of long working hours. The empirical inquiry and normative evaluation are framed by an analytical framework that draws on insights from autopoietic systems theory and the law and economics academic literature. The thesis argues in favour of a reflexive legal strategy of regulated self-regulation which entails the retention of the individual opt-out from the 48 hour limit on weekly working hours but with more stringent conditions applying to employers’ use of opt outs.

Full textAbstract:
Annual maps of cloud-to-ground lightning flash density have been produced since the deployment of the National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN). However, a comprehensive national summary of seasonal, monthly, and weekly lightning across the contiguous United States has not been developed. Cloud-to-ground lightning is not uniformly distributed in time, space, or frequency. Knowledge of these variations is useful for understanding meteorological processes responsible for lightning occurrence, planning outdoor events, anticipating impacts of lightning on power reliability, and relating to severe weather. To address this gap in documentation of lightning occurrence, the variability on seasonal, monthly, and weekly scales is first addressed with NLDN flash data from 2005 to 2014 for the 48 states and adjacent regions. Flash density and the percentage of each season's portion of the annual total are compiled. In spring, thunderstorms occur most often over southeastern states. Lightning spreads north and west until by June, most areas have lightning. New England, the northern Rockies, most of Canada, and the Florida Peninsula have a small percentage of lightning outside of summer. Arizona and portions of adjacent states have the highest incidence in July and August. Flash densities reduce in September in most regions. This seasonal, monthly, and weekly overview complements a recent study of diurnal variations of flashes to document when and where lightning occurs over the United States. NLDN seasonal maps indicate a summer lightning dominance in the northern and western United States that extends into Canada using data compiled from GLD360 network observations. GLD360 also extends NLDN seasonal maps and percentages into Mexico, the Caribbean, and offshore regions.

Full textAbstract:
Both sleep diaries and actigraphy have been recommended to assess sleep in research and clinical settings. Investigators have traditionally used sleep diaries that were completed daily by participants and collected weekly but have recently begun using sleep diaries that are both completed and collected daily. No research had previously assessed the agreement between daily-collected sleep diaries and actigraph data over one week. Undergraduate students were randomly assigned to use daily- or weekly-collected sleep diaries. Sleep parameters obtained from these measures were compared to each other via concordance with concurrent actigraph data. It was hypothesized that daily-collected sleep diaries would have greater concordance with actigraphy than weekly-collected sleep diaries. Results indicated that daily-collected sleep diaries provided more reliable data than weekly-collected sleep diaries, but the differences were not statistically significant. Additional aims examined self-reported sleep diary adherence, the participation day number, and day of the week. There were trends for the Daily group to have better adherence. Overall concordance did not change based on the day number or day of the week. Both sleep diaries yield comparable sleep parameter data, suggesting that clinicians and researchers can use either method to estimate sleep parameters.

Full textAbstract:
Through the use of the interpretive lenses of sociology of news, identity, and community roles, this research aims to understand the approach to journalism by small-town weekly newspapers. The research explores how small-town weekly newspapers in rural America are faring in the current emergent media environment. Are these newspapers surviving the digital age or are they experiencing the similar hardships larger daily newspapers are facing, including revenue and circulation declines, and in some cases product elimination?
The research also investigates whether or not the small-town journalism approach is different than it is for larger daily newspapers by theoretically and conceptually examining the routine practices of news gathering used by news workers, the identity formations of weekly newspaper journalists, and the journalists’ and community members’ perceptions of the weekly newspaper’s role in the community. To accomplish this, the researcher has used quantitative and qualitative research techniques, including a large-scale survey directed at weekly newspaper publishers, a thematic content analysis of weekly newspaper content, and in-depth interviews with news workers and community members, to conduct an analysis of news production in small towns in Iowa.
Focusing on small-town weekly newspapers is crucial because the close, frequent and often personal interactions of small-town journalists with their audiences create the potential for a more direct effect on community members’ everyday lives. In addition to contributing to the understanding of small-town community news production, this research offers news industry leaders and practitioners insight into a different, more personally engaged, approach to journalism.

Full textAbstract:
The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of handling peri-puberal heifers for 2 h each week on in-chute behavior, isolation behavior, and the time required for each heifer to leave the testing area; and to determine if the location of the facial hair whorl was associated with any of the behavior scores or social dominance order. Crossbred beef heifers (n = 146) were assigned to be walked through, sorted and moved through a chute for 2 hr each wk for 20 wk (HANDLED) or allowed to remain on pasture unless handling was required to treat an injury or disease (CONTROL). In-chute behavior, isolation behavior and exit times were observed and scored at the beginning (0 wk), middle (10 wk) and end of the experiment (20 wk). The facial hair whorl on each heifer was classified as being high (above the eyes), middle (between the eyes), or low (below the eyes). At the end of the experiment pairs of heifers in the HANDLED group competed for a feed source and a social dominance order was estimated. Weekly handling decreased in-chute behavior scores of heifers with facial hair whorl positions classified as medium or low, but not in heifers that exhibited a hair whorl high on their face. Cattle in the HANDLED treatment group which had an initial isolation score of 2 or 3 had the greatest improvement in temperament over the entire experiment when compared to CONTROL animals with the same initial isolation score. The calmest heifers were not negatively affected by the handling, while the most agitated animals in the HANDLED had a similar overall change in isolation score as those animals in the
CONTROL group. This indicates that while weekly handling improved the temperament and behavior of heifers with intermediate temperament rating at the outset of the experiment, weekly handling seemed unnecessary for the calmest heifers and did not have a beneficial effect on the heifers rated as the most nervous and agitated at the beginning of the experiment. Social dominance rankings were positively correlated (P < 0.10) with final in-chute behavior scores, but not with the other behavior scores or heifer body weight. Cattle with the hair whorls in the middle of the forehead had higher mean social dominant rank than those with hair whorls higher or lower on the face (P < 0.03). Overall, the results of this experiment indicate that behavior testing can reveal differences in the temperament of heifers and that, other than the most nervous and agitated heifers; repeated handling could serve to improve the temperament of the animals.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
Aversive control measures in the form of punishment and negative reinforcement are widely used in business and other organizations. The purpose of the present study was to systematically evaluate an alternative to aversive control. The effect of a package intervention consisting of a weighted checklist, weekly graphic feedback, and contingent social positive reinforcement in the form of praise was used with a university housing staff to increase duty performance.
Five undergraduate Resident Assistants served as participants. A multiple baseline across staff members was used to evaluate the effect of the intervention. Results indicate that the intervention increased performance by an average of 45% and decreased variability in performance. These results suggest that interventions based on feedback and positive reinforcement are effective, cost efficient, and represent a practical alternative to aversive control measures.

A weekly cycle in aerosol pollution and some meteorological quantities is observed over Europe. In the present study we exploit this effect to analyse aerosol-cloudradiation interactions. A weekly cycle is imposed on anthropogenic emissions in two general circulation models that include
parameterizations of aerosol processes and cloud microphysics. It is found that the simulated weekly cycles in sulfur dioxide, sulfate, and aerosol optical depth in both models agree reasonably well with those observed indicating model skill in simulating the aerosol cycle. A distinct weekly
cycle in cloud droplet number concentration is demonstrated in both observations and models. For other variables, such as cloud liquid water path, cloud cover, top-of-the-atmosphere radiation fluxes, precipitation, and surface temperature, large variability and contradictory results between observations, model simulations, and model control simulations without a weekly cycle in emissions prevent us from reaching any firm
conclusions about the potential aerosol impact on meteorology or the realism of the modelled second aerosol indirect effects.

Full textAbstract:
RTE, as the French TSO, should estimate the adequacy risk from several year ahead to real-time. In particular, weekly studies are the first ones to use actual weather forecasts. The current approach faces several limitations. Indeed, possible electricity exchanges with neighboring are not modeled. Moreover the error on the forecast of the demand and of the available power is inaccurately modeled. Finally the analysis of trough is very limited. Therefore, a need for a new approach to determine the weekly markings arises. With the objective of meeting such need, this work introduces a new probabilistic approach based on Monte-Carlo simulations, consistent with already established longer term studies. It is made to respond to the limitations of the current method and to be applied possibly with a transnational point of view. The model is described then the analysis methodology is detailed. This methodology process applies with a European point of view: - First whether there is a risk in Europe is discussed and, if there are, which country would be concerned. - The time and the magnitude of the risks is then analyzed. - The causes are also considered in order to finally study some solutions.

Abstract My research is based on the magazine industry in Taiwan, discussing the target, the segment, the positioning and marketing strategies of the successful weekly magazine, including the four main competitive trends, the products, prices, channel and sales promotion. Work out the marketing strategy according to the population statistics, the purchasing policy and the consumption behavior. Then take the master stream among the magazine industry in Taiwan, China Times Weekly as an example, get to know the managerial strategies of China Times Weekly and the reason why China Times Weekly can maintain the leading position for over twenty years. My research uses the secondary and primary data. Conduct survey from people over fifteen years old, asking their consumption capability, their preferences to each magazine and how they place importance on buying them. The results show that the editing, publication and advertising of the magazine industry are all aimed to provide the contents that attract readers to buy. Making use of the marketing strategy to achieve the standard sales volume and the media influence to strive for the advertising revenue. Thus, the successful weekly magazine should invest the target marketing. Provide the consumer research and the marketing strategy to the advertising agency as references for selecting media and setting the advertising budget in order to increase the advertising income. For successful weekly magazine, the advertising income must be over 50%. In view of the scope economy and beneficial result, China Times Weekly is in the lead in its circulation and advertising volume. The main reason for this is its great trademark image, the winning acceptance and its high advertising income. Furthermore, China Times Weekly always keeps on growing. We provide the reader and advertiser to create the value of the magazine itself, which includes doing research on the consumption behavior, mapping out innovative marketing strategies. We work well with the advertisers, we make great use of the consumption information and we form strategy alliances and share available resources to reach the win-win goal.

In this paper, we explore the profitability of weekly price momentum strategy for 25 countries from the period of beginning of 1980 to the end of 2015. In addition to Jegadeesh and Titman (1993), we also modify the price momentum strategy by using interval ranking to form portfolios (Pan, Tang, and Xu, 2013). Da, Gurun, and Warachka (2014) show that information discreetness, i.e., the speed of price changes, will influence the profitability of momentum strategy. We also incorporate information discreetness into formation of momentum portfolio. The results show that consistently, the weekly momentum exhibits early reversal during the beginning of the holding period, then the return contamination become stronger with the holding periods increasing, and the information discreetness does affect the magnitude of reversal.

This paper mainly studies the phenomenon of weekly momentum performance in the different periods under different market conditions. First, we verified the data available for us to check the momentum, found during the 1983 to 2012 period execute momentum strategy can have significant profits. Therefore, we have further do subsample period of review, the results of a sub-sample period there was still able to observe the phenomenon of momentum profits. However, the present study also found that each have different shape of trends in different sub-intervals, taking into account the impact of stock returns for the state of the market under different sub-sample period, so we go further study during these sub-samples considering the state of the market variables after a series of regression analysis found that under different market conditions the impact of market variables are varying, so to get more substantial rewards of momentum, the market state of the period is also a factor to considerate.

This study examines the profitability of weekly momentum effects in the US market. Consistent with the finding of the previous study, the returns to a long-short strategy based on prior one-week price performance exhibit initial reversals for the first few weeks and then change to return continuations for the remaining year. Based on the gradual information diffusion model, I hypothesize that stocks with greater speed of information diffusion or less information uncertainty are expected to show weaker anomaly returns to such weekly long-short strategies. This study, using analyst following data as proxy variables, however only finds partial support to these hypotheses.

This study examines weekly momentum strategies that buy prior week''s winners and sell prior week''s losers, holding one to 52-weeks. The results in the UK market reveal that such long-short strategies lead to negative returns briefly and then become profitable as the holding period is extended over a longer period of time, suggesting an initial return reversal followed by return continuations. Similar results however are not observed for the Japanese market. Consistent with the gradual information diffusion hypothesis, the weekly momentum strategies in the UK are found most profitable in firms with less analyst coverage and less frequencies of forecast revisions. Moreover, consistent with the information uncertainty hypothesis, the UK stocks are found to generate greater weekly momentum returns when having higher levels of analyst forecast revision and historical forecast bias.

In May, 2012, Chicago Board Options Exchange, CBOE, published a new regulatory circular, extending the listings of weekly options. Under this new rule, weekly options trading has become more active than before. Therefore, in this article, we study the volatility index, VIX, with weekly options data based on the published VIX algorithm. We first inspect the change of its term structure. Then, we examine the relation between the S&P 500 index and this VIX. Finally, we investigate its forecasting ability and information content for future realized volatility. Our empirical findings suggest that the VIX calculated with weekly options data is more effective. It contains more information for future realized volatility, and its forecasting ability is also superior.

In this study, we study the properties of weekly options. Weekly options is a new financial derivatives which is issued by Taiwan Futures Exchange on November 14, 2012. Firstly, the beta value between weekly option and TAIEX is estimated for 26 weeks and the results indicate that the beta values change dramatically in these time of periods. Secondly, four investment strategies for weekly options and index future best have been discussed, the best strategy is to long a call options and short a futures. We also estimate implied volatility and Theta value of the weekly options with use of trading data. In this study, data of weekly options is collected the time period between January 2013 and June 2013. Open source software R is used for data analysis and derivatives greeks estimation.

The study worked out the implied volatility and Theta value of weekly options based on the option data for weighted index number of Taiwan FITX from January 5, 2015 to October 31, 2016. Apart from employing B-S model for the pricing of options, market investors could also reckon backwards from the market transaction prices to the implied volatility of options. The greater the implied volatility is, the stronger market investors’ mentality and requirements regarding the willingness of risk aversion will be. The empirical study found that the volatility smile of implied volatility of VIX options generally presents a pattern extending from the lower left to the upper right and the implied volatility increases as the expiration period shorten. On average, the longer the contract is, the lower the implied volatility will be. With the expiration period getting shorter, the slope of the volatility smile increases, which means that the volatility smile will be steeper with the expiration date approaching and the gap of implied volatility between in the-money (ITM) options and out-of-the-money (OTM) options will increase. Among the VIX options, the expiration date also plays a significantly important role besides the levels of ITM and OTM. Either from the fitness of samples or the evaluation results, errors are greatly improved after adding the factor of expiration date. It is critical to show the expiration date for evaluating of option prices. The maximum accuracy of evaluation will be achieved by taking the ITM and OTM levels and the expiration date as the models for explaining variables. Furthermore, the evaluation errors are fairly stable without any obvious gap among each year.

This study examines the weekly momentum returns in 28 emerging markets with a focus on their relationship with the level of firm-specific information diffusion and information uncertainty. The results indicate that only fourteen of these sampled markets exhibit significant momentum returns based on prior one week’s price performance. The cross-country average results indicate that these momentum effects are stronger when performed over firms with smaller market capitalizations, lower analyst coverage, greater forecast revisions, greater forecast dispersions or greater forecast bias. These findings are generally consistent with the hypothesis. The results of fixed effects model indicate that return anomalies to long-short strategies are related with a market’s GDP, foreign involvement and return dispersions.

This case describes that Weekly (a magazine publisher) aimed to enhance the adhesion of interaction between readers. The company considered to use its internal information system and other information platforms such as Facebook to attract new readers in 2011. In addition, Weekly wanted to keep loyal readers by utilizing a customer relationship management (CRM) system, which has failed to respond to readers' needs and complaints. In Oct. 2011, the case company officially established an IT department in charge of the integration of the company CRM and ERP systems to solve its IT problem. However, right before the ERP system came online, the company confronted with several problems such as user resistance and the vendor also failed to keep the underlying core program correct. The IT department confronted with the dilemma to keep the ERP online or not. To discuss Weekly’s decision of ERP escalation or de-escalation, issues or theories such as IT outsourcing, transaction cost, consensus, institution, social interaction have been employed in the teaching note.

Newspaper is one of the important communication media in human life. Through the written records, development process of the history can be viewed as a microcosm of the whole society. The special topics, performance techniques and forms of “Pots Weekly” are still cool. Through the process of passing on, "Pots Weekly" became the best alternative channel for making opinions. “Pots Weekly” seems to have become the past, but it can still echo the times, and has become a shared memory of a generation. The ambition to run the newspaper still seems shocked today. The contents of “Pots Weekly” broke through the times and had an impact on the way of decentralization editing. Thus, each detailed report received the due attention and the guerilla character of the leftist of “Pots Weekly” is carried out. This study mainly discusses cover story images of “Pots Weekly” and investigates the evolution from 1995 to 2014. Theoretical viewpoints of content analysis and textual analysis are adopted in the research to discuss the concepts of the text and images. The study analyzes the social ideology practice of graphic design and the value of how to make itself the extra weapon. In the course of the study, it is found that the emergence of cultural phenomena, which can advance with the times, is inextricably related to the graphic design. This is the evidence that culture is constantly flowing into the surrounding environment and the creation of design restores the memory, and it can be passed down and preserved. The prominent findings of the study are as follows: 1.The subject matter of “Pots Weekly” cover story: it is shown from the category of “artistic life” that the emergence of cultural action is the best connection between common people's art and social movement. The action also helps seek communication channels, so that the confrontation shows its value. 2.The fonts of “Pots Weekly” cover story: from the “typesetting” situation, it is found that the text fonts are chosen from the default setting and standard options. This situation occurs because of the timeliness of publishing operations and the compression of publishing process. Consequently, the layout of the publication can hardly show its features. 3.The meaning of “Pots Weekly” cover story: from the "single rhetoric" sentence structure, the texts use metaphor to gather a number of similar ideas of things, so that the cover story can be described in detail and can explain the strength of the effect that it will bring. 4.The media of “Pots Weekly” cover story: from the perspective of real record "photographic techniques", the incident can be retained completely in the moment of pressing the shutter. These kinds of images are not only writing history, but can also be used for editing applications. 5.The materials for “Pots Weekly” cover story: to build the story of the brand from the "character image". However, these characters are with special identities, and are not well-known to the general public. They might not be able to bring affinity; instead they are not familiar to the crowd, and consequently, the concept of heroic incarnation of justice is vanished.

The reversal and momentum in Taiwan's stock return is not a new issue. However, unlike monthly data used in recent research, our study employs weekly data of Taiwan Stock market spanning from January, 2008 to December, 2018. We adopt weekly returns to test whether the specific return pattern exists in TWSE stock. Higher frequent data allows us to examine the existence of reversal or momentum profits particularly within the first month of holding period. Our findings support that Taiwan Stock market has short/medium-term momentum. Furthermore, the momentum found did not result from the stock characteristics captured by Fama and French’s three factors model because the return of momentum portfolio is still positive after we take Fama and French’s three factors model into account. Last, our finding is in line with Chui, Titman and Wei (2002)' s perspective─Although Taiwan stock market has medium-term momentum, it is much less than momentum they found in Europe and US.

In this research we focus on time spread transaction strategy for option investment. Taiwan investors used to adopt far-near month as option strategy. Due to the emerging weekly option, the transaction frequency can be increased. To better verify the abovementioned time spread transaction strategy and to achieve the targeted profit, the TAIEX Option transaction data are used and analyzed. In addition, we look into the factors affecting time spread transaction via regression analysis. The results indicated the fluctuation of Taiwan weighted price index to have positive significant influence of profit. It is consistent with the results set by this article, the fluctuation of Taiwan weighted price index will have major influence from time spread strategy.
