ECB and monetary transmission mechanism
No full textThe thesis presents the impact that the monetary policies have on national economies, while placing a special emphasis on the euro area and Southeast Europe.
Maintaining price stability is the main objective of the ECB, ESCB, and all of the national central banks of EU Member States. Each central bank places its primary focus on monetary policy. The monetary policy strategy uses the standard measures of monetary policy, that is the open market operations, constantly available opportunities and keeping the minimum reserves, as well as some further non-standard measures, such as the purchase of securities and government bonds on the secondary market.
One of the main things that characterize the countries of Southeast Europe is a high degree of euroization, which in turn means that the exchange rate is the most powerful channel via which the monetary transmission can be implemented.
Due to the current crisis that has emerged as a result of the pandemic, special attention is placed on the effect that the transmission monetary mechanism has on the economy
The impact of LLMs on negotiation preparation in supermarket chains' sales and procurement departments in Primorsko-goranska County
No full textThis thesis explores the impact of LLMs on the negotiation preparation in supermarket chains' sales and procurement departments in Primorsko-goranska County. The main objective was to examine the degree to which LLMs are used there, especially with the purpose of preparing for business negotiations, and whether the users are content with the models’ role in improving their negotiation outcomes. The research was conducted using a survey that 75 respondents filled in. The main finding is that only 29% of the respondents ever used LLMs for professional purposes in general, and almost none use them to prepare for their business negotiations. However, the research also confirms the ongoing trend of more and more employees using LLMs at work, implying that the models may play a significant role in helping negotiators prepare for negotiations in the future.Ovaj rad istražuje utjecaj LLM-ova (velikih jezičnih modela) na pripremu za pregovore u odjelima prodaje i nabave lanaca supermarketa na području Primorsko-goranske županije. Glavni cilj bio je ispitati u kojoj se mjeri LLM-ovi koriste u tim odjelima, posebno za pripremu poslovnih pregovora, te jesu li korisnici zadovoljni ulogom modela u poboljšavanju ishoda njihovih pregovora. Istraživanje je provedeno putem ankete koju je ispunilo 75 ispitanika. Najvažniji rezultat istraživanja je da je samo 29% ispitanika ikada koristilo LLM-ove u profesionalne svrhe općenito, a gotovo nitko od njih ne koristi ih za pripremu poslovnih pregovora. Ipak, istraživanje potvrđuje i sve izraženiji trend sve češćeg korištenja LLM-ova na radnom mjestu, što implicira da bi modeli u budućnosti mogli imati značajnu ulogu u pripremi pregovarača za pregovore
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
