Moving Beyond Modern Portfolio Theory Investing That Matters

Moving Beyond Modern Portfolio Theory Investing That Matters

Moving Beyond Modern Portfolio Theory: Investing That Matters tells the story of how Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) revolutionized the investing world and the real economy but is now showing its age. MPT has no mechanism to understand its impacts on the environmental social and financial systems nor any tools for investors to mitigate the havoc that systemic risks can wreck on their portfolios. It’s time for MPT to evolve. The authors propose a new imperative to improve finance’s ability to fulfil its twin main purposes: providing adequate returns to individuals and directing capital to where it is needed in the economy. They show how some of the largest investors in the world focus not on picking stocks but on mitigating systemic risks such as climate change and a lack of gender diversity so as to improve the risk/return of the market as a whole despite current theory saying that should be impossible. Moving beyond MPT recognizes the complex relations between investing and the systems on which capital markets rely Investing that matters embraces MPT’s focus on diversification and risk adjusted return but understands them in the context of the real economy and the total return needs of investors. Whether an investor an MBA student a Finance Professor or a sustainability professional Moving Beyond Modern Portfolio Theory: Investing That Matters is thought-provoking and relevant. Its bold critique shows how the real world already is moving beyond investing orthodoxy. | Moving Beyond Modern Portfolio Theory Investing That Matters

The Routledge Companion to History and the Moving Image

The Routledge Companion to History and the Moving Image

The Routledge Companion to History and the Moving Image takes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding history in moving images. It engages this popular and dynamic field that has evolved rapidly from film and television to digital streaming into the age of user-created content. The volume addresses moving image history through a theoretical lens; modes and genres; representation race and identity; and evolving forms and formats. It brings together a range of scholars from across the globe who specialize in film and media studies cultural studies history philosophy of history and education. Together the chapters provide a necessary contemporary analysis that covers new developments and questions that arise from the shift to digital screen culture. The book examines technological and ethical concerns stemming from today’s media landscape but it also considers the artificial construction of the boundaries between professional expertise and amateur production. Each contributor’s unique approach highlights the necessity of engaging with moving images for the academic discipline of history. The collection written for a global audience offers accessible discussions of historiography and a compelling resource for advanced undergraduates and postgraduates in history film and media studies and communications.

Moving Difference Brazilians in London

Moving Difference Brazilians in London

Moving Difference demonstrates how differences between migrants who share the same nationality travel with them and can impact on every aspect of their ‘mobile lives’. Analysing the lived experiences and narratives of Brazilians in London it adds an in-depth ethnographic understanding of the specific contours of difference to studies of migration by demonstrating how social differences rooted in colonial legacies are constantly being re-created and negotiated in the everyday making of the global world. By using ethnographic observations and in-depth interviews in addition to historical and contextual analyses the book allows us to understand how people speak of engage with and negotiate difference in their everyday lives and how this is shaped by the macro-political and -social contexts of immigration and emigration. Giving attention to the complex interrelations between ‘here’ and ‘there’ past and present this book allows us to go beyond the proliferated homogenised stereotypes of ‘the migrant’ and ‘the migrant community’ often reproduced by academics as well as by the media and politicians whether with a view to pathologising or romanticising the ‘migrant other’. This title will appeal to students scholars community workers and general readers interested in migration social class gender ‘race’ and ethnicity colonialism and slavery social exclusion globalisation and urban sociology. | Moving Difference Brazilians in London

Moving Loads – Dynamic Analysis and Identification Techniques Structures and Infrastructures Book Series Vol. 8

Moving Loads – Dynamic Analysis and Identification Techniques Structures and Infrastructures Book Series Vol. 8

The interaction phenomenon is very common between different components of a mechanical system. It is a natural phenomenon and is found with the impact force in aircraft landing; the estimation of degree of ripeness of an apple from impact on a beam; the interaction of the magnetic head of a computer disk leading to miniature development of modern computer; etc. Uncertainty in some of them would lead to inaccurate analysis results on the behavior of the structure. The interaction force is difficult to measure unless instruments have been installed during construction for this purpose. Some of the interaction problems are difficult to quantify due to the lack of thorough knowledge on the interaction behavior. Analytical skills are required to estimate the interaction forces of the mechanical system in order to enable advanced developments in different areas of modern technology. This volume provides a comprehensive treatment on this topic with the vehicle-bridge system for an illustration of the moving load problem. It covers a whole range of topics including mathematical concepts of the moving load problems with continuous beams and plates vehicle-bridge interaction dynamics weigh-in-motion techniques moving load identification algorithms in the frequency-time domain in the time domain and in the state space domain techniques based on the generalized orthogonal function expansion and on the finite element formulation. The methods and algorithms can be implemented for on-line identification of the interaction forces. This book is intended for structural engineers and advanced students who wish to explore the benefit of interaction phenomenon and techniques for identification of such interaction forces. It is also recommended for researchers and decision makers working on the operation and maintenance of major infrastructures and engineering facilities. | Moving Loads – Dynamic Analysis and Identification Techniques Structures and Infrastructures Book Series Vol. 8

Moving Boxes by Air The Economics of International Air Cargo

Moving Boxes by Air The Economics of International Air Cargo

Air cargo is a key element of the global supply chain. It allows outsourcing of manufacturing to other countries and links production in both multinational and smaller enterprises. It has also been the most important driver of certain export industries in countries such as South Africa Kenya and Chile. As a component of the air transport industry air cargo makes the crucial difference between profit and loss on many long-haul routes. This second edition of Moving Boxes by Air offers a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the business and practices of air cargo with chapters dedicated to key issues such as current trends market characteristics regulation airport terminal operations pricing and revenues and environmental impacts. The book illustrates the recent emphasis on mergers at the expense of alliances which have not had the impact that they had on passenger operations. The section on security has been expanded to assess in more depth the threats to aircraft from terrorists particularly in the lower cargo and passenger baggage compartments. Surcharges are examined and the book considers whether all airlines will follow the lead of some to do away with both fuel and security surcharges. The book concludes with a summary of the latest industry forecasts. Fully updated throughout this edition is the definitive guide to air cargo for professionals within both the aviation and freight industries. | Moving Boxes by Air The Economics of International Air Cargo

Sexuality and Gender Now Moving Beyond Heteronormativity

Sexuality and Gender Now Moving Beyond Heteronormativity

Sexuality and Gender Now uses a psychoanalytic approach to arrive at a more informed view of the experience and relationships of those whose sexuality and gender may not align with the heterosexual norm. This book confronts the heteronormative bias dominant in psychoanalysis using a combination of theoretical and clinical material offering an important training tool as well as being relevant for practicing clinicians. The contributors address the shift clinicians must make not only to support their patients in a more informed and non-prejudicial way but also to recognise their own need for support in developing their clinical thinking. They challenge assumptions deconstruct theoretical ideas extend psychoanalytic concepts and importantly show how clinicians can attend to their pre-conscious assumptions. They also explore the issue of erotic transference and countertransference which if unaddressed can limit the possibilities for supporting patients more fully to explore their sexuality and gender. Theories of psychosexuality have tended to become split off from the main field of psychoanalytic thought and practice or read from an assumed moral high ground of heteronormativity. The book specifically addresses this bias and introduces new ways of using psychoanalytic ideas. The contributors advocate a wider and more flexible attitude to sexuality in general which can illuminate an understanding of all sexualities including heterosexuality. Sexuality and Gender Now will be essential reading for professionals and students of psychoanalysis who want to broaden their understanding of sexuality and gender in their clinical practice beyond heteronormative assumptions. | Sexuality and Gender Now Moving Beyond Heteronormativity

Low Head Hydropower for Local Energy Solutions

Low Head Hydropower for Local Energy Solutions

The role of small hydropower is becoming increasingly important on a global level. Increasing energy demand and environmental awareness has further triggered research and development into sustainable low-cost technologies. In developing countries particularly in rural areas the possibility of local power generation could considerably improve living conditions. With this in mind the development of a next generation low-head hydropower machines was subject of investigation in the EU-project HYLOW. Being part of the research lines of that project this thesis presents a numerical modelling approach to improve the design of machines like water wheels for increased hydraulic efficiency. Nowadays Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) enables numerical models to be quite accurate and incorporate physical complexities like free surfaces and rotating machines. The results of the CFD simulations carried out in this research show that a change in blade geometry can result in higher torque levels thereby increasing performance. Numerical simulations also enabled to determine the optimal wheel-width to channel-width ratio and further improve performance by modifying the channel bed conditions upstream and downstream of the water wheel. With a power rating in the low kilowatt range low-head hydropower machines like optimised water wheels seem to have a clear potential for small-scale energy generation thereby contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by providing local energy solutions. | Low Head Hydropower for Local Energy Solutions
