Business intelligence requires the collecting and merging of information from many different sources, both structured and unstructured, in order to analyse for example financial risk, operational risk factors, follow trends and perform credit risk management. While traditional data mining tools make use of numerical data and cannot easily be applied to knowledge extracted from free text, tradit...

An intelligence unit operates in accordance to three levels prescribed by the NIM, which is a policing model introduced by the Home Office in 2000. The NIM employs a robust management of intelligence to create a clear picture of all policing issues at local, regional and national level enabling managers to make informed decisions about what their strategic priorities are, manage identified risk...

Competencies have been shown to differentiate outstanding managers and leaders from their less effective counterparts. Some of the competencies related to effectiveness reflect cognitive intelligence, but many of them are behavioral manifestations of emotional intelligence. Meanwhile, the performance measures used have often been an approximation of effectiveness. A study of leaders in a multi-...

The authors investigated core self-evaluations and educational attainment as mediating mechanisms for the influence of appearance (physical attractiveness) and intelligence (general mental ability) on income and financial strain. The direct effects of core self-evaluations on financial strain, as well as the indirect effects through income, were also considered. Longitudinal data were obtained ...

Forecasting the short run behavior of foreign exchange rates is a challenging problem that has attracted considerable attention. High frequency financial data are typically characterized by noise and non–stationarity. In this work we investigate the profitability of a forecasting methodology based on unsupervised clustering and feedforward neural networks and compare its performance with that o...

The paper adopts an empirical case study approach to present how business intelligence could be used effectively in the detection of financial accounting fraud. The proposed forensic accounting framework using...

Neuronal signaling, plasticity and pathologies in CA1 hippocampal neurons are all intimately related to the redox environment and, thus, tissue oxygenation. This study tests the hypothesis that hyperoxic superfusate (95%O2) causes a time-dependent increase in superoxide anion (·O2) production in CA1 neurons in slices, which will decrease as oxygen concentration is decreased. Hippocampal slices ...
