We focus on the coupling of two existing and calibrated single currency Libor models into a joint Libor model that allows for pricing of multiple currency based structured interest rate products. Our main contribution is twofold: On the one hand we provide a method for synthesizing two local currency based correlation structures into a correctly defined joint correlation structure that describe...

The article explains why the concept of the user in Library and Information Science (LIS) user studies and information seeking behavior is theoretically inadequate and it proposes a reconceptualization of subjects, objects, and their relations according to a model of ‘double mediation.’ Formal causation (affordances) is suggested as a substitute for mechanistic causation. The notion of ‘affecti...

Interactive Causation Agent (ICA), a novel unsupervised adaptive neurosymbolic model based on a theory of causality (Interactive Causation), is defined, offering an interactive computational approach to problems in the algorithmic computing of interaction. Interactive Causation provides a compatible framework of nonalgorithmic computation and environment, permitting tractable computation of tem...

In The Biopsychosocial Model of Health and Disease, Derek Bolton Grant Gillett argue that a defensible updated version the biopsychosocial model requires metaphysically adequate account disease causation can accommodate biological, psychological, social factors. This present paper offers philosophical critique their causation. I relies on claims about normativity semantic content biological inf...

We present a new model of negligence and causation and examine the influence of the causation test on the level of care under negligence. In this model, the injurer’s decision to take care reduces the likelihood of an accident only in the event that some nondeterministic intervention occurs. The effects of the causation test depend on the information available to the court, and the manner in wh...

Background: Once COVID-19 is transmitted, the corresponding civil responsibility should be clarified by the identification of the transmitter, compensation of the damage and detection of the causal relationship between the damage or harm and the harmful act.    Methods: This research has been prepared by descriptive analytical method and its data has been collected by documentary library tools...

The role of social factors in the causation of depression based on the aetiological model proposed by Brown and Harris was examined in a sample of 50 depressed female patients. Loss of mother before age 11 years and lack of confiding relationship was found to act as a vulnerability factor whereas employment status and having three or more children aged 14 or under were not found to have an incr...
