As growing populations concentrate in urban areas, it has become apparent that many global problems are a cumulative reflection of unsustainable practices at the local level. Correspondingly, there has been an increasing need to monitor and manage sustainable community growth, which includes a balance of environmental, economic, health, and social measures. Throughout the last decade, the communi
The purpose of this study was to analyze two approaches to concepts of a just response to the atrocities of Democratic Kampuchea as they are presently operating in the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia and in Khmer Buddhism. It assessed what Buddhism and the ECCC offer in answer to Cambodians’ justice needs and where both ways of conceiving justice overlap and diverge. The research
Background: Ratios of values of brachytherapy source strengths, as measured by hospitals and vendors, comprise constant differences as, e.g., systematic errors in ion chamber calibration factors and measurement setup. Such ratios therefore have the potential to reveal the systematic changes in routines or calibration services at either the hospital or the vendor laboratory, which could otherwise b
The liberty of religion is not easy to define or regulate. It is closely connected to other liberties and rights. Starting from individual liberty, the consequence will be a right to religion or from religion, the right to change religion or confession, and the right to transition from religion to no religion, or from no religion to religion. It is obvious that the state, the religious denominatio
The EU-funded project European Cultural Heritage Online (ECHO) aims to integrate resources from various domains within the field of cultural heritage, and make them available on the Internet.

The main purpose of this thesis is to statistically analyze the impact of managerial overconfidence on cash dividends policy via fifty U.S. selected case firms during year 2008 to 2017. Intuition behind this is to take a closer look at and potentially detail the neoclassical MM dividends irrelevance policy, also to additionally take organizational behavior into consideration. In spite the fact th
Current advances in Deep Learning have shown significant improvements in common Machine Learning applications such as image, speech and text recognition. Specifically, in order to process time series, deep Neural Networks (NNs) with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) units are widely used in sequence recognition problems to store recent information and to use it for future predictions. The efficiency i
The paper examines whether and how the complementary principle in the Rome Statute entails deference to genuine exercise of concurrent jurisdiction over crimes within the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) jurisdiction.

Wind energy production is a section that became bigger and bigger thanks to the interests in finding new ways to produce energy that do not involve fossil fuels because of environment concerns, because of their costs and because of their limited amount. Even though wind energy was exploited also in the past, for example in wind mills, it is with wind turbines that all the problems affecting these
Botswana is an arid country endemic to drought. The major water supply in the capital Gaborone, the Gaborone Reservoir, has received a failed status early this year due to diminishing water levels which have fallen below six percent of the total potential volume in 2014. However, there seems to be no official consensus as to what has caused this extreme decrease in volume. Water scarcity can have
Schizophrenia is a disease highly characterized by a disturbed perception of reality, where delusions often generate misinterpretations of the individuals perceptions. Emotion processing has been widely documented within schizophrenia, which above all has demonstrated a reduction regarding the Theory of mind. Also well documented is that individuals with schizophrenia depict a reduced perceptual a
Large financial institutions are vulnerable to numerous financial risks, necessitating robust regulatory frameworks to prevent crises such as those experienced in 2008. The Basel framework, devised by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, incorporates critical measures such as the credit valuation adjustment (CVA) to mitigate these risks. CVA fluctuates significantly based on market factors
