Because of their simplicity, risk measures are often employed in financial risk evaluations and related decisions. In fact, the risk measure ρ(X) of a random variable X is a real number customarily determining the amount of money needed to face the potential losses X might cause. At a sort of second-order level, the adequacy of ρ(X) may be investigated considering the part of the losses it does...

The aim of this research was to translate a reading growth model pigs the modelling humans. individuals in studied species is both species-specific and phenotype-dependant process. process known as ontogenesis has been considered dynamic system. method used study mathematical modelling. A hybrid animal's applied experimental evidence produce dynamic. In study, an earlier formulated anal...

Ethnographic studies of the home revealed the fundamental roles that physical locations and context play in how household members understand and manage conventional information. Yet we also know that digital information is becoming increasing important to households. The problem is that this digital information is almost always tied to traditional computer displays, which inhibits its incorpora...

This paper describes an AAL-enabling platform which combines OSGi middleware, interactive TV, RFID and NFC in order to ease the day to day of not only dependant or semi-dependant elderly people (its main focus) but also their care takers and relatives. The end result is an affordable, unobtrusive, evolvable, usable and easily deployable ICT infrastructure which aims to approach the vision of “A...

We analyse two types of belief-dependant models of social preferences: guilt aversion and reciprocity. In particular, we test the relevance of their input variables (second-order beliefs and general dispositions for guilt/reciprocity). The data confirm the predictions of belief-dependant models. Both secondorder beliefs and a participant’s sensitivity to guilt/reciprocity are relevant for the d...
