Capital Market Valuation of the Terms of Office of the Chief Executive Officers of Deutsche Telekom After the Initial Public Offering by Torsten J. Gerpott, Roman Schwetz

“…The two measures are compared between the CEOs and with eight benchmarks (three stock indices, big-five tech companies). Results suggest that (1) Deutsche Telekom’s present CEO outperforms his predecessors mainly due to a clear emphasis on Deutsche Telekom’s mobile communication business in the US and (2) the CEO-independent lower value of Deutsche Telekom relative to Google, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon and other large over-the-top platform providers cannot be remedied through network access fees/cost contributions imposed on OTT companies.…”

How to re-found RRI in a cosmopolitan world? A case study of BGI, the frontier genetic enterprise in China by Han Zhang, Jie Gao, Feng Zhang

“…To explore strategies to re-found RRI in a cosmopolitan context in China, we analyzed a frontier genetic high-tech enterprise based in Shenzhen known as BGI. By exploring two crises BGI encountered over the past 25 years, which were regarded as turning points in building the enterprise RRI system, we conclude the following: (1) The rapid development of nationalism has undermined the cosmopolitan value of science and science ethics, even as science and technology were supposed to promote global cooperation; (2) To promote global justice, cosmopolitan RRI must consider intercultural value differences; (3) Humanizing RRI is a new approach to RRI practice that, instead of individual-centered responsibility, emphasizes reflective, collective responsibility, which fits with the character of scientific production in the era of big science.…”

Novel video anomaly detection method based on global-local self-attention network by Jing YANG, Chengmao WU, Liuping ZHOU

“…In order to improve the accuracy of video anomaly detection, a novel video anomaly detection method based on global-local self-attention network was proposed.Firstly, the video sequence and the corresponding RGB sequence were fused to highlight the motion change of the object.Secondly, the temporal correlation of the video sequence in the local area was captured by the expansion convolution layer, along with the self-attention network was utilized to compute the global temporal dependencies of the video sequence.Meanwhile, by deepening the basic network U-Net and combining the relevant motion and representation constraints, the network model was trained end-to-end to improve the detection accuracy and robustness of the model.Finally, experiments were carried out on the public data sets UCSD Ped2, CUHK Avenue and ShanghaiTech, as well as the test results were visually analyzed.The experimental results show that the detection accuracy AUC of the proposed method reaches 97.4%, 86.8% and 73.2% respectively, which is obviously better than that of the compared methods.…”
