Financial and economic time series forecasting has never been an easy task due to its sensibility to political, economic and social factors. For this reason, people who invest in financial markets and currency exchange are usually looking for robust models that can ensure them to maximize their profile and minimize their losses as much as possible. Fortunately, recently, various studies have speculated that a special type of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) called Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) could improve the predictive accuracy of the behavior of the financial data over time. This paper aims to forecast: (i) the closing price of eight stock market indexes; and (ii) the closing price of six currency exchange rates related to the USD, using the RNNs model and its variants: the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and the Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU). The results show that the GRU gives the overall best results, especially for the univariate out-of-sample forecasting for the currency exc...

A Study on "Micro Insurance in India"While the poor people are the most vulnerable to risks, the majority of them have to manage risks with their own means they are compelled to borrow from informal markets at very high rates of interest, getting trapped in the vicious cycle of poverty. Very few have access to formal insurance and depends on informal mechanism to cope with shocks. It is surprising that despite such compelling needs of risk management, the poor do not seek insurance coverage. In India, 90% of the population does not have any kind of social security, and insurance still remains a 'to be sold' rather than a 'to be bought' product. With the liberalization of the Indian economy in the 1990s, and the government's stance of inclusive growth, the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority Act was passed in 1999, and the insurance sector was opened for the private sector. Subsequently, micro insurance regulations were introduced in 2005. With these government initiatives to provide risk coverage to the poor, there has been a significant increase in insurance penetration and density in India. These regulatory measures have not only brought positive changes in the provision of social security to the poor, but have also brought a paradigm shift in the attitude of insurance providers. Earlier, the insurance providers had to provide micro insurance products to meet mandatory social sector obligations imposed by the regulator; now, it is seen as a profitable opportunity. Main objectives of this paper are to study distribution Model and Diversity of Micro-insurance Products for Micro Insurance and to study the Challenges faced by micro insurance Company and current scenario of Micro Insurance in India. Key words: Micro insurance, current scenario, Challenges and Diversity. INTRODUCING MICROINSURANCE What happens when a poor family's breadwinner dies, when a child in a disadvantaged household is hospitalized, or the home of a vulnerable family is destroyed by fire or natural disaster? Every serious illness, every accident and every natural disaster threatens the very existence of poor people and usually leads to deeper poverty. That's where "micro insurance" comes in. Micro insurance is specifically designed for the protection of low-income people, with affordable insurance products to help them cope with and recover from common risks. It is a market-based mechanism that promises to support sustainable livelihoods by empowering people to adapt and withstand stress. Two-thirds of human beings suffering in the most extreme poverty are women. Often living within $1 per day, they are the most vulnerable. In India, the study finds that this country currently has the most dynamic micro insurance sector in the world. Liberalization of the economy and the insurance sector has created new opportunities for insurance to reach the vast majority of the poor, including those working in the informal sector. Even so, market penetration is largely driven by supply, not demand. Micro insurance in India has valuable lessons for rest of the world, particularly in the regulation of the industry.
This paper shows the power quality analysis for a discharge lamp metal halide with electromagnetic ballast. Is used an optimization method to calculate the no lineal model parameters based on actual measurements of the electrical signals of the lamp. The analysis of power quality is based on the IEEE 1459-2010.

The International Commission on Radiological Protection estimates, that 100 mSv exposure of radiation increases cancer risk by 0.5%. The central hypothesis of the Linear No Threshold model is that low dose ionizing radiation can induce carcinogenesis through the so called “one hit action”, that is one or more deoxyribonucleic acid strands can be broken by the hit of only one electron particule. Regardless of the radiation dose, radiation exposure increases cancer risk. In the United States of America, one-third of computed tomographic scans are carried with no clear clinical indication, i.e. non radiating imaging can be applied with equal sensitivity and specificity. Furthermore, computed tomographic scans are repeated unnecessarily. Although technical improvements have reduced the concern of the potential danger of radiation exposure, the cumulative aspects and cancer risk should always be considered. Cancer risk, accompanied by ionizing radiation, should be minimized during the fo...

A extensão da presunção de inocência no Brasil após a Constituição de 1988 correlacionada às prisões cautelaresResumo: O poder de punir de um Estado não pode ser absoluto e desenfreado. É necessário que existam barreiras jurídicas capazes de realizar o controle de legalidade para o fim de evitar excessos e arbitrariedades, especialmente sendo o próprio Estado o lado mais forte da relação jurídica. A presunção de inocência surge, portanto, como um mecanismo de proteção do indivíduo, visando fornecer-lhe equidade e proteção, para que possa passar por um julgamento sem que haja sobre ele uma culpabilidade presumida em vistas a evitar o seu injusto e parcial julgamento. Em dissonância a isso, o instituto das prisões cautelares existe para garantir o bom andamento do processo e não pode, de forma alguma, ser utilizado para mitigar a inocência do acusado, sob pena de estar-se diante de um Estado acusação com poderes absolutos e autoritários, fugindo do modelo processual penal acusatório vigente no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro. Palavras-chave: Constituição. Garantias. Presunção de inocência. Prisões cautelares.

Kajian Ekonomi Penundaan Buka Sadap Sebagai Solusi Untuk Menghadapi Harga Karet Rendah2017 •
Abstrak Agribisnis karet saat ini sedang mengalami kondisi yang kurang menguntungkan. Hal ini disebabkan oleh menurunnya harga karet beberapa tahun terakhir serta meningkatnya biaya produksi terutama biaya penyadapan. Salah satu upaya yang dapat dilakukan dan dapat menjadi suatu pemikiran adalah dengan melakukan penundaan buka sadap tanaman karet. Tulisan ini mengkaji penundaan buka sadap tanaman karet dengan dua pendekatan yaitu: penundaan buka sadap tanaman karet dengan merubah kriteria matang sadap pohon dari 45 cm menjadi 50 cm; dan penundaan buka sadap tanaman karet dengan merubah kriteria persentase matang sadap kebun. Analisis menggunakan data percobaan Lukman (1979; 1980), Samuel et al. (2012), Hendratno dan Amypalupy (2008), dan Nugraha et al. (2015). Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa penundaan buka sadap dengan merubah lilit batang dari 45 cm menjadi 50 cm dapat meningkatkan produktivitas per penyadap. Penundaan buka sadap hingga lilit batang mencapai 50 cm akan ekonomis deng...
