Karhian ja Kankaanpään kylien muodostama jakokunta on 1600-1800-luvuilla muodostanut talonpoikaisen Köyliön muun pitäjän kuuluessa Köyliön kartanoiden alaisuuteen. Tutkimus keskittyy tämän kyläalueen maisemahistoriaan tarkastellen omistussuhteita ja maanjakoa. Tarkastelut on tehty pääosin 1700-lukuisten karttojen ja isojaon toimitusasiakirjojen kautta. Muuna tutkimusmateriaalina on käytetty arkistolähteitä sekä 1800-luvun ja 1900-luvun alun karttamateriaalia. Osana tutkimusta olen asemoinut yli 100 kartanosaa koordinaatistoon. Kylien asutus oli vielä 1600-luvulla keskittynyt vanhoille kylätonteille. Tutkimuksessa on tarkasteltu talojen ja asutuksen siirtymistä pois kylätonteilta 1700- ja 1800-lukujen aikana. Karhian vanha kylätontti autioitui 1800-luvun loppuun mennessä. Kankaanpään vanhalla kylätontilla tilakeskusten määrä väheni yhdeksästä kolmeen vastaavana ajanjaksona. Kylätonttien autioitumiseen vaikutti isojaon lisäksi hetkelliset omistusten keskittymiset. Tutkimuksessa havaitsin talonpoikaisen Köyliön olleen 1600- ja 1700-luvuilla uhattuna säätyläisten omistusten lisääntyessä kylässä. Aiemmassa historiankirjoituksessa romantisoitu talonpoikainen Köyliö ei ollutkaan niin itsenäinen kuin oli annettu ymmärtää. Uutena faktana havaitsin suurimman osan kylien taloista kuuluneen 1651-1679 Loimaan vapaaherrankunnan läänitykseen, joka osaltaan on estänyt Köyliön kartanon perintörälssin laajemman leviämisen alueelle. Kankaanpäähän muodostettiin 1700-luvun vaihteessa ratsutila, joka oli osin säätyläisten omistama. Pääosa kylän muista tiloista oli tämän rusthollin augmentteina käytännössä läänitetty ratsutilallisille. Talonpoikainen omistus vahventui ja keskittyi 1800-luvulla. Köyliönjärven rantaeroosion vaikutuksia alueen maisemahistoriaan tarkastellessani havaitsin Karhian kylän keskiaikaisen kylätontin ja tunnistamieni vanhimpien peltojen osin sortuneen järveen jo 1600-luvulla. Samasta syystä ennen rantaviivaa kulkenut Huovintie/Pyhän Henrikin tie siirrettiin isojaon yhteydessä karkaisemaan vanhan kylävainion pitkät peltosarat. Rantaeroosio saattaa selittää myös tämän pitkään viljellyn alueen arkeologisten löytöjen vähäisyyden. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on myös arvioida poikkitieteellisten tutkimusmenetelmien soveltuvuutta maiseman ja historian tutkimiseen. Tämä tutkimus on poikkitieteellinen analyysi maisema-alueesta, eräänlainen maisemahistoriallinen selvitys, jonka tavoitteena on kuitenkin olla perinteisiä selvityksiä syväluotaavampi. Opinnäytetyön tekijä on aiemmalta koulutukseltaan yhdyskuntatekniikan diplomi-insinööri, jonka tutkinnossa maisemantutkimus oli sivuaineena. FM-tutkinnon sivuaineena tekijällä on Visuaalinen kulttuuri Aalto yliopiston Taideteollisesta korkeakoulusta.

Au travers de cette étude, nous proposons de mettre en place un système d’information géographique (SIG) prédictif afin d’obtenir le classement des pays vulnérables à la brusque variation des prix du maïs. L'élément déclencheur de cette variation sera un aléa climatique sur la zone de culture américaine, premier pays producteur. Afin d'analyser les conséquences d'une catastrophe naturelle, il fut nécessaire de construire un indice final de vulnérabilité par le regroupement de plusieurs thématiques (agricole, économique et socio politique). Les données des différentes thématiques ainsi que les résultats sont intégrés dans une base de données à référence spatiale pour permettre la restitution des résultats dans un SIG web.

La aplicación aérea o fumigación aérea es una rama de la aeronáutica la cual nació en los inicios de la aeronáutica, para ayudar a combatir de manera rápida las enfermedades y plagas que aquejan a los cultivos, esto gracias a la velocidades de operación y tiempos de respuesta que son muchísimo mejores que otros métodos de aplicación agrícola. Pero esta gran ventaja, también es un problema para los pequeños productores agrícolas, dado que para que sea posible realizar una correcta aplicación es necesario una superficie de 25 hectáreas y en casos especiales cuando menos de 10 hectáreas, dejando así a los pequeños productores y ejidatarios sin este tipo de servicios. Dado a esto se buscó una manera para bajar las velocidades de operación de las aeronaves, para que puedan realizar una correcta aplicación en áreas de producción pequeñas, esto dado que desde mediados del siglo pasado las mejoras que se han realizado a estas aeronaves son las aéreas de navegación, potencia y aspersión, dejando casi sin mayores cambios a las estructuras y la aeronomía de la aeronave. Este trabajo se enfoca en la utilización de cambio de formas en la aeronave, denominadas morfología aérea, para mejorar la aerodinámica de la aeronave, buscando en un futuro la implementación de estos sistemas mediante el uso de materiales y estructuras inteligentes. Para lo cual se realizan distintos análisis numéricos tanto a nivel bidimensional para seleccionar el perfil aerodinámico a el cual sería necesario realizar el cambio de forma desde el perfil aerodinámico base con el cual cuenta la aeronave, como a nivel tridimensional para seleccionar la configuración que nos dé una menor velocidad de operación sin sacrificar la sustentación y la carga útil de la aeronave. Después de realizar una búsqueda entre 81 perfiles aerodinámicos y de 4 casos de forma a lo largo de la envergadura, se encuentra que es factible disminuir la velocidad de operación de la aeronave sin sacrificar capacidad alguna a la aeronave, pero la magnitud de la disminución dependerá en gran medida del perfil aerodinámico seleccionado dado que este dará en primera instancia el porcentaje de disminución ideal, el cual será menor debido a la forma con la que se lleva a cabo la morfología en el ala.

Two new methodologies are introduced to improve inference in the evaluation of mutual fund performance against benchmarks. First, the benchmark models are estimated using panel methods with both fund and time effects. Second, the non-normality of individual mutual fund returns is accounted for by using panel bootstrap methods. We also augment the standard benchmark factors with fund-specific characteristics, such as fund size. Using a dataset of UK equity mutual fund returns, we find that fund size has a negative effect on the average fund manager’s benchmark-adjusted performance. Further, when we allow for time effects and the non-normality of fund returns, we find that there is no evidence that even the best performing fund managers can significantly out-perform the augmented benchmarks after fund management charges are taken into account.

We survey articles covering how hedge fund returns are explained, using largely non-linear multifactor models that examine the non-linear pay-offs and exposures of hedge funds. We provide an integrated view of the implicit factor and statistical factor models that are largely able to explain the hedge fund return-generating process. We present their evolution through time by discussing pioneering studies that made a significant contribution to knowledge, and also recent innovative studies that examine hedge fund exposures using advanced econometric methods. This is the first review that analyzes very recent studies that explain a large part of hedge fund variation. We conclude by presenting some gaps for future research.

A key component of Iowa’s transportation system is the public roadway system owned and maintained by the state, cities and counties. In order to regularly evaluate the conditions of Iowa’s public roadway infrastructure and assess the ability of existing revenues to meet the needs of the system, the Iowa Department of Transportation’s 2006 Road Use Tax Fund (RUTF) report to the legislature included a recommendation that a study be conducted every five years. That recommendation was included in legislation adopted in 2007 and signed into law. The law specifically requires the following (2016 Iowa Code Section 307.31):  “The department shall periodically review the current revenue levels of the road use tax fund and the sufficiency of those revenues for the projected construction and maintenance needs of city, county, and state governments in the future. The department shall submit a written report to the general assembly regarding its findings by December 31 every five years, beginning in 2011. The report may include recommendations concerning funding levels needed to support the future mobility and accessibility for users of Iowa's public road system.”  “The department shall evaluate alternative funding sources for road maintenance and construction and report to the general assembly at least every five years on the advantages and disadvantages and the viability of alternative funding mechanisms.” To comply with this requirement, the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) prepared a 2011 RUTF Study (www.iowadot.gov/pdf_files/RUTFStudy2011.pdf). This study relied heavily on the work of the Governor’s Transportation 2020 Citizen Advisory Commission (CAC), established by Governor Terry E. Branstad to assist the Iowa DOT as it assessed the condition of Iowa’s roadway system and evaluated current and future funding available to best address system needs. The 2011 RUTF Study ultimately led to the passage of Senate File 257 in the 2015 legislative session that was signed into law on February 25, 2015. The major component of this bill was the increase of the state fuel tax rate on March 1, 2015, in order to meet the critical need funding shortfall identified in the study. With the recent increase in the state fuel tax rate, jurisdictions across Iowa are now putting those additional funds into road and bridge construction projects. With one full construction season complete following the increase in funding, it is difficult to accurately assess the long-term impact on construction needs. Therefore, this 2016 RUTF Study focuses on the actions taken since the 2011 RUTF Study and on alternative funding mechanisms.
