An ALM Model for Pension Funds using Integrated Chance Constraints
No full textWe discuss integrated chance constraints in their role of short-term risk constraints in a strategic ALM model for Dutch pension funds. The problem is set up as a multistage recourse model, with special attention for modeling the guidelines proposed by the regulating authority for Dutch pension funds. The paper concludes with a numerical illustration of the importance of such short-term risk constraints.
Integrated chance constraints in an ALM model for pension funds
No full textWe discuss integrated chance constraints in their role of short-term risk constraints in a strategic ALM model for Dutch pension funds. The problem is set up as a multistage recourse model, with special attention for modeling the guidelines proposed by the regulating authority for Dutch pension funds. The paper concludes with an outline of a special-purpose heuristic, which is used to approximately solve the resulting model which contains many binary decision variables.
May Alm interview, tape 2
No full textMay Alm was born May Buelow in Mirror, Alberta to Edward and Hilda, who died of influenza in 1918. May became a Registered Nurse before moving to Chewelah, Washington and working for Dr. Merle B. Snyder. May enlisted in the Army Nurse Corps during the War and served in England before moving with Allied forces to Normandy and the Battle of the Bulge. After she returned from the War, she married Maruice Alm, also of Chewelah. When Maurice died in 1956, May returned to nursing. After her youngest child, Marie, graduated from high school, May moved to Spokane where she worked for the Veteran’s Hospital until her retirement in 1981. May moved to Northern California in the 2000s to live near her daughter, Marie. May died in Centennial, Colorado in 2019
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Safety first: combining task models of medical devices with numeracy skills and technical competence
No full textWe propose that by more closely aligning interdisciplinary work in (a) numeracy education for medication dosage calculations and (b) model-driven design for medical devices that are used for delivery of medication we may help address the incident-rate in incorrect medication calculations and delivery, given that such devices commonly require the user to engage with numerical information via a digital interface. We demonstrate the use of task models as a way of supporting safe, effective and efficient delivery of medication to the patient, taking as our example the use of infusion and syringe pumps in Nursing. This work indicates a new way of facilitating knowledge transfer between numeracy education and medical device design and usage, using task models. We aim to support medical professionals’ and students’ numeracy education as well as to inform the design of medical devices based on a better understanding of the use and potential errors of medication delivery by trained professionals
