  • Global Stock Exchange Consolidation and the Battle for TMX
    Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt llp 2011 Capital Markets Review Global Stock Exchange Consolidation and the Battle for TMX Between October 2010 and November 2011, eight transactions involving stock exchanges around the world, including Canada, were announced. This latest round of stock exchange consolidation has been driven by a number of factors including increased competition and the globalization of capital markets. Osler represented the london stock exchange group plc on its proposed merger with TMX Group Inc. Canada has been swept up in the global wave of consolidation in the stock exchange sector with the ongoing battle for control of TMX Group Inc. (TMX). TMX’s aborted merger with London Stock Exchange Group plc (LSEG) and the current proposed take-over by Maple Group Acquisition Corporation (Maple) illustrate the trends driving consolidation in the global exchange industry and the political and regulatory challenges posed by stock exchange mergers. Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt llp 2011 Capital Markets Review A Flurry of Deals Between October 2010 and November 2011 the following transactions were announced: Global Stock Exchange Consolidation and the • Singapore Exchange’s (SGX) US$8.8 billion proposed acquisition of Battle for TMX Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), which was ultimately rejected by the Australian government. • Moscow Interbank Currency Exchange’s acquisition of Russian Trading System Stock Exchange. • LSEG’s proposed merger with TMX, which did not proceed when it became clear that the transaction would not receive the requisite approval of two-thirds of TMX shareholders in the face of a competing and currently outstanding bid by Maple, a consortium of 13 of Canada’s leading financial institutions and pension plans.

  • A Conceptual Social Framework That Delivers KM Values to Corporate Organizations
    EMSoD — A Conceptual Social Framework that Delivers KM Values to Corporate Organizations Christopher Adetunji, Leslie Carr Web Science Institute School of Electronics and Computer Science University of Southampton Southampton, England Email: fca6g14, [email protected] Abstract—As social software is becoming increasingly disruptive the Enterprise Mobility and Social [media] Data (EMSoD) to organizational structures and processes, Knowledge Manage- framework, our proposed conceptual social framework, with ment (KM) initiatives that have hitherto taken the form of a KM value at its core. We provide an overview of our previous ‘knowledge repository’ now need redefining. With the emergence work that culminates in an important measure of KM value of Social Media (SM) platforms like Twitter, the hierarchical — actionable knowledge — upon which a significant business boundaries within the organization are broken down and a lateral decision is made by a case study organization. This is un- flow of information is created. This has created a peculiar kind of tension between KM and SM, in which one is perceived as derpinned by the fact that the real essence of knowledge is its threatening the continued relevance of the other. Particularly, actionability, especially when it contributes to the advancement with the advances of social media and social software, KM is more of a proposed undertaking [3]. Measuring the value of such in need of delivering measurable value to corporate organizations, contributions has been one of the main issues of disagreement if it is to remain relevant in the strategic planning and positioning in Knowledge Management, which is why we devised a of organizations. In view of this, this paper presents EMSoD mechanism for measuring the KM value which our framework — Enterprise Mobility and Social Data — a conceptual social helps in delivering to corporate organizations.

  • JSON Application Programming Interface for Discrete Event Simulation Data Exchange
    JSON Application Programming Interface for Discrete Event Simulation data exchange Ioannis Papagiannopoulos Enterprise Research Centre Faculty of Science and Engineering Design and Manufacturing Technology University of Limerick Submitted to the University of Limerick for the degree of Master of Engineering 2015 1. Supervisor: Prof. Cathal Heavey Enterprise Research Centre University of Limerick Ireland ii Abstract This research is conducted as part of a project that has the overall aim to develop an open source discrete event simulation (DES) platform that is expandable, and modular aiming to support the use of DES at multi-levels of manufacturing com- panies. The current work focuses on DES data exchange within this platform. The goal of this thesis is to develop a DES exchange interface between three different modules: (i) ManPy an open source discrete event simulation engine developed in Python on the SimPy library; (ii) A Knowledge Extraction (KE) tool used to populate the ManPy simulation engine from shop-floor data stored within an Enterprise Requirements Planning (ERP) or a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) to allow the potential for real-time simulation. The development of the tool is based on R scripting language, and different Python libraries; (iii) A Graphical User Interface (GUI) developed in JavaScript used to provide an interface in a similar manner to Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) DES tools. In the literature review the main standards that could be used are reviewed. Based on this review and the requirements above, the data exchange format standard JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) was selected. The proposed solution accom- plishes interoperability between different modules using an open source, expand- able, and easy to adopt and maintain, in an all inclusive JSON file.

  • Online Diaries: Reflections on Trust, Privacy, and Exhibitionism
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Springer - Publisher Connector Ethics and Information Technology (2008) 10:57–69 Ó The Author(s) 2008 DOI 10.1007/s10676-008-9155-9 Online diaries: Reflections on trust, privacy, and exhibitionism Paul B. de Laat Faculty of Philosophy, University of Groningen, Oude Boteringestraat 52, 9712 GL Groningen, The Netherlands E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Trust between transaction partners in cyberspace has come to be considered a distinct possibility. In this article the focus is on the conditions for its creation by way of assuming, not inferring trust. After a survey of its development over the years (in the writings of authors like Luhmann, Baier, Gambetta, and Pettit), this mechanism of trust is explored in a study of personal journal blogs. After a brief presentation of some technicalities of blogging and authors’ motives for writing their diaries, I try to answer the question, ‘Why do the overwhelming majority of web diarists dare to expose the intimate details of their lives to the world at large?’ It is argued that the mechanism of assuming trust is at play: authors simply assume that future visitors to their blog will be sympathetic readers, worthy of their intimacies. This assumption then may create a self-fulfilling cycle of mutual admiration. Thereupon, this phenomenon of blogging about one’s intimacies is linked to Calvert’s theory of ‘mediated voyeurism’ and Mathiesen’s notion of ‘synopticism’. It is to be interpreted as a form of ‘empowering exhibitionism’ that reaffirms subjectivity.

  • How the Autofictional Blog Transforms Arabic Literature*
    When Writers Activate Readers How the autofictional blog transforms Arabic literature* TERESA PEPE (University of Oslo) Abstract The adoption of Internet technology in Egypt has led to the emergence a new literary genre, the ‘autofic- tional blog’. This paper explores how this genre relates to the Arabic understanding of literature, using as examples a number of Egyptian autofictional blogs written between 2005 and 2011. The article shows that the autofictional blog transforms ʾadab into an interactive game to be played among authors and readers, away from the gatekeepers of the literary institutions, such as literary critics and publishers. In this game the author adopts a hybrid genre and mixed styles of Arabic and challenges the readers to take an active role in discovering the identity hidden behind the screen and making their way into the text. The readers, in return, feel entitled to change and contribute to the text in a variety of ways. Key words: autofictional blog; ʾadab; modern Arabic literature; Egypt The adoption of the Internet has favoured the proliferation of new forms of autobiographi- cal writing and literary creativity all over the world. Blogs1 in particular are used by Inter- net users worldwide to record and share their writing. The popularity of the blogging phenomenon and the original features of blog texts have also attracted the interest of international scholars. More specifically, a particular kind of blog defined as the “personal blog”, which consists of “a blog written by an individual and focusing on his or her personal life” (WALKER 2005), has spurred a significant debate. Most academics agree that the personal blog should be considered a form of diary (LEJEUNE 2000, MCNEILL 2003), thus inserting it in the category of (auto-)biographical writing.

In market efficiency analysis, efficient market hypothesis (EMH) and random walk hypothesis were tested using a mix of statistical tools such as Autocorrelation Function, Ljung-Box Q-Statistics, Runs Test, Variance Ratio Test, and BDS test for independence. To confirm the results from these parametric and non-parametric tools, technical trading and filter rules, and moving average based rules were also employed to assess the possibility of making abnormal profit from the stocks under study.
