The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Includes bibliographical references (p. 85-87).This study examines the methodological opportunities of index construction for the Pan-European property index, whose release is planned by the company Investment Property Databank (IPD). To address the question of temporal aggregation in appraisal indices, three index construction methods, namely "Stale Appraisal", "Linear Interpolation", and "Repeated Measures Regression", are tested for their accuracy in dealing with infrequent appraisals. Our model is based on a simulation approach, calculating appraised indices from a simulated "true index" of randomly generated returns, and directly comparing the statistical characteristics of these index returns to the true return. As broader context, this paper also gives an overview of the current theories in respect to general valuation issues on a disaggregate, aggregate and international level. We also investigate the European real estate market regarding currently applied market size measuring, structure and country performance. In particular, we explore crucial valuation issues that are relevant for the planned Pan-European property index to obtain the respect of the international investment community.by Friederike Helfer and Markus Witta.S.M.in Real Estate Developmen
Ten Simple Rules for Being a Co-author on a Many-Author Non-Empirical Paper
No full textMany-author non-empirical papers include “how to” articles, recommendations or consensus statements, roadmaps for future research, catalogs of ideas, or calls to action. These papers benefit the research community and broader academic ecosystem by addressing unmet needs or introducing new perspectives and approaches. Large, diverse authorship teams that examine an issue from many different perspectives can create valuable resources that individual co-authors could not develop independently, or in smaller groups. Realizing the potential of many-author non-empirical papers, however, requires very different strategies than researchers would typically use to write papers with fewer authors. A core team of lead writers typically work together to lead the content generation and writing processes, while many co-authors collaboratively create content and provide feedback on outlines and drafts. Challenges for co-authors may include learning to write a different type of paper, adapting to high volume feedback, and understanding the very diverse perspectives shared by fellow co-authors. This paper outlines ten simple rules for being a co-author on a many-author non-empirical paper. Although the rules were developed for papers with at least 30 authors, some rules may be useful for many-author research papers, or for non-empirical papers with fewer authors. Co-authors may also want to consult our companion paper on ten simple rules for leading a many-author non-empirical paper, as understanding the challenges faced by lead writers will help co-authors to contribute more efficiently and effectively

No full textAm Beispiel der Übersetzung zweier Bücher ("Die feuerrote Friederike" und "Echt Susi") der österreichischen Kinder- und Jugendbuchautorin Christine Nöstlinger ins Spanische werden in dieser Arbeit die Problematik der Kulturreferenzen und der Umgang mit denselben analysiert. Es soll anhand einer Analyse der Kulturreferenzen in diesen beiden Werken untersucht werden, wie mit kulturspezifischen Elementen in Büchern, die in erster Linie für Kinder konzipiert wurden, umgegangen wird.The present Master’s thesis examines the problem of translating cultural references in children’s literature by stating the example of two books written by the Austrian author Christine Nöstlinger ("Die Feuerrote Friederike" and "Echt Susi")
Parallel Scalability of Three-Level FROSch Preconditioners to 220000 Cores using the Theta Supercomputer
No full textThe parallel performance of the three-level fast and robust overlapping Schwarz (FROSch) preconditioners is investigated for linear elasticity. The FROSch framework is part of the Trilinos software library and contains a parallel implementation of different preconditioners with energy minimizing coarse spaces of generalized Dryja--Smith--Widlund type. The three-level extension is constructed by a recursive application of the FROSch preconditioner to the coarse problem. In this paper, the additional steps in the implementation in order to apply the FROSch preconditioner recursively are described in detail. Furthermore, it is shown that no explicit geometric information is needed in the recursive application of the preconditioner. In particular, the rigid body modes, including the rotations, can be interpolated on the coarse level without additional geometric information. Parallel results for a three-dimensional linear elasticity problem obtained on the Theta supercomputer (Argonne Leadership Computing Facility, Argonne, IL) using up to 220 000 cores are discussed and compared to results obtained on the SuperMUC-NG supercomputer (Leibniz Supercomputing Centre, Garching, Germany). Notably, it can be observed that a hierarchical communication operation in FROSch related to the coarse operator starts to dominate the computing time on Theta, which has a dragonfly interconnect, for 100 000 message passing interface (MPI) ranks or more. The same operation, however, scales well and stays within the order of a second in all experiments performed on SuperMUC-NG, which uses a fat tree network. Using hybrid MPI/OpenMP parallelization, the onset of the MPI communication problem on Theta can be delayed. Further analysis of the performance of FROSch on large supercomputers with dragonfly interconnects will be necessary.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Numerical Analysi
Increasing Fairness in Targeted Advertising. The Risk of Gender Stereotyping by Job Ad Algorithms
No full textWho gets to see what on the internet? And who decides why? These are among the most crucial questions regarding online communication spaces – and they especially apply to job advertising online. Targeted advertising on online platforms offers advertisers the chance to deliver ads to carefully selected audiences. Yet, optimizing job ads for relevance also carries risks – from problematic gender stereotyping to potential algorithmic discrimination. The winter 2021 Clinic Increasing Fairness in Targeted Advertising: The Risk of Gender Stereotyping by Job Ad Algorithms examined the ethical implications of targeted advertising, with a view to developing feasible, fairness-oriented solutions. The virtual Clinic brought together twelve fellows from six continents and eight disciplines. During two intense weeks in February 2021, they participated in an interdisciplinary solution-oriented process facilitated by a project team at the Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society. The fellows also had the chance to learn from and engage with a number of leading experts on targeted advertising, who joined the Clinic for thought-provoking spark sessions. The objective of the Clinic was to produce actionable outputs that contribute to improving fairness in targeted job advertising. To this end, the fellows developed three sets of guidelines – this resulting document – that cover the whole targeted advertising spectrum. While the guidelines provide concrete recommendations for platform companies and online advertisers, they may also be of interest to policymakers
Les deux « grammaires générales » de Johann Severin Vater sont-elles « générales »
No full textABSTRACT: In 1801, Johann Severin Vater published «Versuch einer allgemeinen Sprachlehre» («An Essay of a General Grammar») and in 1805,
Lehrbuch der allgemeinen Grammatik
(«A Manual of General Grammar»). Both titles include the qualitative adjective «general» by which Vater explicitly refers to the tradition of general grammars, initiated by Port-Royal. Moreover, Vater underlines several times in both texts the «general» nature of his analysis. Today however, both grammars are often described as entirely or at least partially historical and comparative works. This article deals with the principles of Vater’s analysis, his conception of general grammar and its application to linguistic facts. It seems possible to show, in accordance with the conviction of their author, that the two grammars actually fit in the tradition of general grammars and that «An Essay of a General Grammar» in particular represents a remarkable example of it.RÉSUMÉ: En 1801 Johann Severin Vater publie Versuch einer allgemeinen Sprachlehre («Essai d’une grammaire générale») et en 1805, Lehrbuch der allgemeinen Grammatik («Manuel de la grammaire générale»). Dans les deux titres Vater qualifie donc son étude de «générale», qualification que, de plus, il revendique plusieurs fois dans les deux textes et par laquelle il renvoie à la tradition des grammaires générales ou rationnelles qui fut inaugurée par les Messieurs de Port-Royal. Néanmoins, plusieurs commentateurs modernes ont considéré que ces deux ouvrages relèvent seulement en partie ou même ne relèvent pas du tout de cette tradition mais s’inscrivent — au moins partiellement — dans le courant des grammaires historiques et comparées qui prend son essor à cette époque. L’étude cherche alors à élucider les principes d’analyse de Vater dans ces deux ouvrages, la conception de la grammaire générale de l’auteur et sa mise en application. Il nous semble possible de démontrer que, conformément à la conviction de l’auteur, aussi bien l’Essai que le Manuel relèvent bel et bien de la tradition des grammaires générales et que notamment l’Essai en constitue une illustration remarquable.Spitzl-Dupic Friederike.

Ten Simple Rules for Leading a Many-Author Non-Empirical Paper
No full textMany-author non-empirical papers include recommendations or consensus statements, catalogs of ideas, roadmaps for future research, calls to action, or “how to” articles. These papers have great potential to change the conversation or address unmet needs within research communities. Large, diverse authorship teams can create valuable resources that no individual co-author could create independently. Achieving these goals, however, requires a very different approach than researchers typically use to prepare papers with fewer authors. A small team of lead writers typically leads the content generation and writing processes. Many co-authors collaborate to create content and provide feedback throughout the writing process. Lead writers face many challenges, including defining the content and structure of the paper, coordinating complex logistics, preparing themselves and co-authors for a unique writing experience, and managing high-volume feedback. Here, we outline ten simple rules for leading a many-author non-empirical paper. These rules guide readers through the content generation and writing processes and highlight practical solutions to common challenges. While these rules were developed by preparing non-empirical papers with at least 30 authors, some rules may apply to research papers, or non-empirical papers with fewer authors. Lead writers can also use our companion paper, which shares ten simple rules for being a co-author on a many-author non-empirical paper, to prepare co-authors for an efficient and effective collaborative process
