La educación superior como sistema académico de universidades interrelacionadas constituye la evolución de un concepto eurocentrista originado en el siglo XII, fundamentalmente en Italia y Francia. Actualmente, las universidades tienen la responsabilidad de la formación de profesionales con un alto índice de compromiso social, ético y profe…[Read more]

La publicación en revistas se ha constituido en una necesidad y una práctica legitimadora de investigadores, paradigmas y posiciones ideológicas. El desarrollo local y su producción científica cobran vital importancia dentro de los procesos de socialización, en los que el modelo a seguir son las revistas de corriente principal. Este aspecto pone…[Read more]

A Cultural History of the Sea in the Medieval Age, ed. by Elizabeth Lambourn.

The cultural history of the sea during the Middle Ages is a young and dynamic field. Born only recently in the literary criticism of European sources, this innovative volume pushes out beyond this European heartland to explore the shape and potential of a cultural…[Read more]

The purpose of the model is to calculate the credit spread sensitivity, correlation sensitivity, and default sensitivity via analytic methods for index CDO trades and bespoke CDO trades. The credit spread sensitivity is defined as the change in the MTM by perturbing the credit spread by a small amount; the default sensitivity is calculated by…[Read more]

This paper contributes to the history of small communities in Australia by examining the life and times of a local pharmacist and his wife in a small country town, the business they ran and their contribution to the local community. Colin and Dorothy Clark were local identities and made a significant contribution to the Camden community. Colin as…[Read more]

Objetivo: determinar las formas en las que las métricas de evaluación soportan la gestión editorial de las revistas científicas en Colombia. Diseño/Metodología/Enfoque: la investigación clasificó como descriptiva documental. El diseño permitió el análisis de métricas utilizadas en la gestión editorial de revistas clasificadas por Publindex de…[Read more]

In 2023 we will be looking at the theme of ‘Exploring Climate Solutions’. We will develop an understanding of environmental issues such as green energy, food systems, reforestation and soil regeneration. To date, this course has been focused on work that diagnoses environmental problems, such as the extinction crises, long-term pollutants and…[Read more]

A pricing model for capped-accumulated-return-call (CARC) with volatility surface is presented. Proprietary approaches to interpreting volatility surface are employed during pricing. To accelerate the convergence when low discrepancy sequences are used in Monte Carlo simulation (Quasi-Monte Carlo simulation), the Brownian Bridge Path…[Read more]

Esto con la asunción de la importancia que tienen en la construcción de sociedades más equitativas y sustentables. En este número, ofrece una variedad de artículos que abo…[Read more]

In today’s digital age, where the amount of information generated and stored is overwhelming, the challenge of preserving and accessing it in an efficient and lasting manner arises. Persistent identifiers hold promise as a solution to address this challenge by providing a unique and enduring way to identify and access digital resources. They are…[Read more]

The model serves the purpose of computing basis adjustments for credit spread curves of the constituent obligors of the indexes such that the market price of the index can be repriced exactly. These adjusted index constituent curves are then used to compute index base correlations and mapped base correlations for bespoke trades, price the standard…[Read more]

La ciencia y la producción científica desempeñan un papel fundamental en el avance del conocimiento. Sin embargo, incluso en este ámbito aparentemente objetivo, existe un fenómeno conocido como el efecto sombra que tiene implicaciones mucho más lejos que la coautoría entre unos y otros investigadores; parte de la falta de visibilidad o recono…[Read more]

The payoff of reverse convertible product involves returns on multiple assets and is conditional on hitting of continuous barriers. The Monte Carlo methodology employed by ESP is an efficient conditioning technique.

En la producción científica no se visualiza un marco teórico sólido que oriente a la gestión documental en la administración pública. Se carece de lineamientos claros y precisos sobre cómo organizar, clasificar y preservar los documentos generados en el ejercicio de las funciones públicas. La falta de políticas y herramientas adecuadas para su g…[Read more]

Accounting requires the ability to forecast conduit administration fees. a simple stationary lognormal model for the fees is presented. Initially, the stationarity of the sweep fees is tested by measuring the level of mean reversion. Using a Dickey-Fuller statistical test the conduits are checked for approximate stationarity. Next, assuming the…[Read more]

In this provocation, I investigate the notion of long term thinking, as a notion of ‘sustaining time’, which identifies failures in dominant conceptions of time and proposes an alternative that is thought to be better suited for responding to current environmental crises. Drawing on close analyses of two examples, I argue for a deeper und…[Read more]

The early modern use of vegetal terms to explain the origin and growth of ores was widespread in mining industry, alchemy, and natural philosophy. In the writings of authors from many different backgrounds, mineral veins were often described as ‘trees’ which moved upwards, bore fruits, and underwent a life cycle. Accordingly, the existence in ore…[Read more]

From antiquity, Galenic physicians extensively discussed the active powers of simple and compound drugs. In their views, simple drugs, that is, single ingredients, acted according to their material qualities and the properties of their substance. As for compound drugs, their efficacy resulted from the mutual interaction of their ingredients and…[Read more]
