The Law 5/2010 of Local Autonomy of Andalusia deepens in the capacities of the municipalities to decide on themselves: the procedures of segregation of municipal terms need express conformity of the absolute majority of the plenary session of the local government of the municipality that suffers the segregation. On the other hand, the municipalities have the possibility of spatially organizing their municipal area, or part of it, in territorial districts as a manifestation of their full political autonomy, and may be of a deconcentrated nature (hamlets, parishes, villages, neighborhoods, churches, councils, districts, adjoining and other analogous places) or decentralized (Autonomous Local Entities or Neighborhood Entities). As for the Autonomous Local Entities conformed in Andalusia, they are usually a previous step to the creation of a new municipality, for which the Law 27/2013, of Rationalization and Sustainability of the Local Administration has established a population limit that, in the practice, suppresses segregationist aspirations.

Cryptocurrencies are examined through the asset flow equations and experimental asset markets. Since tangible value of a typical cryptocurrency is non-existent, the theory suggests that price will gravitate toward liquidity value, i.e., the total amount of cash available for purchase of the asset divided by the number of units. Thus it is unlikely that cryptocurrencies in their current form will be stable in the absence of a mechanism of a link to value.
Cross-institutional healthcare predictive modeling can accelerate research and facilitate quality improvement initiatives, and thus is important for national healthcare delivery priorities. For example, a model that predicts risk of re-admission for a particular set of patients will be more generalizable if developed with data from multiple institutions. While privacy-protecting methods to build predictive models exist, most are based on a centralized architecture, which presents security and robustness vulnerabilities such as single-point-of-failure (and single-point-of-breach) and accidental or malicious modification of records. In this article, we describe a new framework, ModelChain, to adapt Blockchain technology for privacy-preserving machine learning. Each participating site contributes to model parameter estimation without revealing any patient health information (i.e., only model data, no observation-level data, are exchanged across institutions). We integrate privacy-preserving online machine learning with a private Blockchain network, apply transaction metadata to disseminate partial models, and design a new proof-of-information algorithm to determine the order of the online learning process. We also discuss the benefits and potential issues of applying Blockchain technology to solve the privacy-preserving healthcare predictive modeling task and to increase interoperability between institutions, to support the Nationwide Interoperability Roadmap and national healthcare delivery priorities such as Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR).
Existing Byzantine fault tolerance (BFT) protocols face significant challenges in the consortium blockchain scenario. On the one hand, we can make little assumptions about the reliability and security of the underlying Internet. On the other hand, the applications on consortium blockchains demand a system as scalable as the Bit-coin but providing much higher performance, as well as provable safety. We present a new BFT protocol, Gosig, that combines crypto-based secret leader selection and multi-round voting in the protocol layer with implementation layer optimizations such as gossip-based message propagation. In particular, Gosig guarantees safety even in a network fully controlled by adversaries, while providing provable liveness with easy-to-achieve network connectivity assumption. On a wide area testbed consisting of 140 Amazon EC2 servers spanning 14 cities on five continents, we show that Gosig can achieve over 4,000 transactions per second with less than 1 minute transaction confirmation time.

Smart contracts (SC) are software programs that reside and run over a blockchain. The code can be written in different languages with the common purpose of implementing various kinds of transactions onto the hosting blockchain. They are ruled by the blockchain infrastructure with the intent to automatically implement the typical conditions of traditional contracts. Programs must satisfy context-dependent constraints which are quite different from traditional software code. In particular, since the bytecode is uploaded in the hosting blockchain, the size, computational resources, interaction between different parts of the program are all limited. This is true even if the specific programming languages implement more or less the same constructs as that of traditional languages: there is not the same freedom as in normal software development. The working hypothesis used in this article is that Smart Contract specific constraints should be captured by specific software metrics (that may differ from traditional software metrics). We tested this hypothesis on 85K Smart Contracts written in Solidity and uploaded on the Ethereum blockchain. We analyzed Smart Contracts from two repositories "Etherscan" and "Smart Corpus" and we computed the statistics of a set of software metrics related to Smart Contracts and compared them to the metrics extracted from more traditional software projects. Our results show that generally, Smart Contract metrics have more restricted ranges than the corresponding metrics in traditional software systems. Some of the stylized facts, like power law in the tail of the distribution of some metrics, are only approximate but the lines of code follow a log-normal distribution which reminds us of the same behaviour already found in traditional software systems.
This paper is inspired by the project proposal ID 7807232014 submitted for the EU Horizon 2020 topic ICT-11-2017 in April 25, 2017. It aims at applying state-of-the-art ICT technologies, systems and functions such as Cloud/Fog and IoT to enable food supply chain. A new approach will lead to trusted cooperative applications and services within the agro-food chains. Blockchain technologies will enhance the transparency, information flow and management capacity allowing better interactions of farmers with other part of supply chain, especially the consumer. Our research will provide better performing value chains by proposing new food-on-demand business model, based on new Quality of Experience (QoE) food metrics, bridging the gap between subjective experience and objective matrics based on quality standards. Finally, we provided an awareness qustionaire for fresh food products (FFP) and survay for a group of 30 students from the University of Skopje. This study showed that the majority of students are aware and focused just on few common FFP aspects without deeper knowledge of FFP quality.
Fiscal decentralization aims to improve regional finance independency and reduce the fiscal dependency of central government. However, in practice, there are many areas that still rely on the assistance central finance for their regional development. This research aims to discuss the development of regional finance independency and analyze the influence of regional finance independency on economic growth in Banten Province. This research uses descriptive method and panel data on 6 (six) regencies and cities in Banten Province at 2001-2011. The results showed the significantly positive effect of regional finance independency on economic growth and significantly negative effect of balance fundâs ratio on economic growth. Key words: local revenue, economic growth, panel data

Time-lock encryption is a method to encrypt a message such that it can only be decrypted after a certain deadline has passed. We propose a novel time-lock encryption scheme, whose main advantage over prior constructions is that even receivers with relatively weak computational resources should immediately be able to decrypt after the deadline, without any interaction with the sender, other receivers, or a trusted third party. We build our time-lock encryption on top of the new concept of computational reference clocks and an extractable witness encryption scheme. We explain how to construct a computational reference clock based on Bitcoin. We show how to achieve constant level of multilinearity for witness encryption by using SNARKs. We propose a new construction of a witness encryption scheme which is of independent interest: our scheme, based on Subset-Sum , achieves extractable security without relying on obfuscation. The scheme employs multilinear maps of arbitrary order and is independent of the implementations of multilinear maps.
Today's vehicles are becoming cyber-physical systems that not only communicate with other vehicles but also gather various information from hundreds of sensors within them. These developments help create smart and connected (e.g., self-driving) vehicles that will introduce significant information to drivers, manufacturers, insurance companies, and maintenance service providers for various applications. One such application that is becoming crucial with the introduction of self-driving cars is forensic analysis of traffic accidents. The utilization of vehicle-related data can be instrumental in post-accident scenarios to discover the faulty party, particularly for self-driving vehicles. With the opportunity of being able to access various information in cars, we propose a permissioned blockchain framework among the various elements involved to manage the collected vehicle-related data. Specifically, we first integrate vehicular public key infrastructure (VPKI) to the proposed blockchain to provide membership establishment and privacy. Next, we design a fragmented ledger that will store detailed data related to vehicles such as maintenance information/ history, car diagnosis reports, and so on. The proposed forensic framework enables trustless, traceable, and privacy-aware post-accident analysis with minimal storage and processing overhead.
The incredible growth of cryptocurrencies over the past six months has captured the attention and imagination of the world, with something of a crypto-mania emerging.What was once predominately the domain of a niche group of internet libertarians, cryptocurrencies are quickly becoming the darlings of Wall Street.

Det er svÊrt at komme med et entydigt svar pÄ spÞrgsmÄlet, men ifÞlge artiklen er der flere forhold, der tyder pÄ en boble.
Blockchain allows for decentralized, self-regulating data, ultimately creating a shared infrastructure where transactions are saved and stored. Scientific information in its essence is a large, dynamic body of information and data that is collaboratively created, altered, used and shared. It lends itself well to the blockchain technology because that technology has the potential to solve challenges around peer review, irreproducibility, and metrics. Other applications of blockchain technology such as cryptocurrencies and digital rights management systems also have a potential relevance for academic publishing.
Can a monetary system in which privately issued cryptocurrencies circulate as media of exchange work? Is such a system stable? How should governments react to digital currencies? Can these currencies and government-issued money coexist? Are cryptocurrencies consistent with an e cient allocation? These are some of the important questions that the sudden rise of cryptocurrencies has brought to contemporary policy discussions. To answer these questions, we construct a model of competition among privately issued at currencies. We nd that a purely private arrangement fails to implement an e cient allocation, even though it can deliver price stability under certain technological conditions. Currency competition creates problems for monetary policy implementation under conventional methods. However, it is possible to design a policy rule that uniquely implements an e cient allocation by driving private currencies out of the market. We also show that unique implementation of an e cient allocation can be achieved without government intervention if productive capital is introduced.

Setting proprietary standards for elemental data components of financial transactions, once the province of market participants and intermediaries, their sovereign regulators, and software and data vendors, has evolved into a global open source standards requirement. Global data standards initiatives are now seeking to eliminate unnecessary infrastructure costs and risks arising from use of proprietary data and interoperability standards and processes. Data standards have taken on new meaning and urgency as they have also become a prerequisite to securing financial networks from cyberattacks and enabling new technologies of the digital age. A new generation of innovation led by distributed ledger technology (DLT), a supportive database technology of the Blockchain, is being actively pursued by financial institutions and their financial market utilities. It is also of interest to many financial market regulators who are requesting access to more granular standardised transactional data. It has tremendous potential to eliminate reconciliation processes at financial institutions and refocus many of the hundreds of data intermediaries and financial market utilities that play a significant role in reconciling risk prone and costly non-standard data. This paper argues that the components of a sustainable financial industry infrastructure rebuild are coming into existence, but uncoordinated efforts across the globe will stifle the effectiveness of these changes. Therefore, this paper proposes a new global industry/ government partnership to coordinate implementation of data identification standards, accelerate data harmonisation initiatives and sponsor a secure financial-sector DLT protocol standard.
The subject of the study is the full range of methods for ensuring financial independence for local budgets in a decentralized environment. The purpose of the study is to work out a strategy based on the systematic approach to ensure financial independence for local budgets in a decentralized environment. The study methodology includes methods of analysis and synthesis, statistical methods, such as graphic and tabular methods, and methods for comparing and generalization. The results of the study. A comparative analysis of the impact of decentralization on the local budgeting has been carried out using the example of the 2014-2016 budget of Irpin. Some recommendation has been drafted to improve the system of local budgeting including some ways of greater development of the empowerment and autonomy of local budgets. Non-typical for Ukrainian economy gender method of budget analysis has been considered resulting in additional analysis of local budgets and eliciting a fact of the existence of some problematic budget lines regarding a gender-based approach in budgeting and working out a number of recommendation to eliminate them. The sphere of application of results. Local budgeting in a decentralized environment. Local budgets. Conclusion. Budget decentralization being taken into consideration opens up the prospect of the development of local self-government in order to deal effectively with the administration of local affairs, and enhance the role of citizens in the sphere of decision-making and practical implementation of socio-economic programs for the region. Financial basis of local budgets must assist local self-government in an effective implementation of the development strategy for the region. An analysis of the revenue and expenditure sides of the budget of Irpin in 2014-2016 in the context of the budgeting and income distribution of local budget shows a considerable increase in the level of fiscal decentralization of the income section of the budget, direct dependence of local authorities on the central Government and partly on transfer payments and emphasizes the need to strengthen the self-sustainability of local budgets and cover the requirement of financially literate managers. It has been found that a balanced division of powers between the central Government and the regions and decentralization of public finances are needed to reform local budgets (including the budget of Irpin). The sources of tax revenues are considered to be distributed between central and local authorities according to proper discharge of their duties that should be a subject for legislation on local self-government. Besides it is essentially necessary to give the local authorities the right to establish local taxes and duties and their rates. The analysis of a gender-based budgeting clearly indicates the importance of objective approach to budgetary expenditure. An integrated analysis of all the spheres of financing needs is important for rational and efficient allocation of financial resources at the state and local levels.
We are part of historic changes in terms of profoundness and velocity in all industries and in customersâ expectations. The aim of this paper is to create an overview of a new age in customer experience generated by a banking environment disturbed by the raising of Financial Technology. Firstly, the article is reviewing the customer experience concept from academic and practitioner perspective. It is making a literature review and additionally is bringing into attention the common elements of customer satisfaction and service quality which are considered an antecedent of customer experience. Furthermore, it is reminded that the latest developments in communications and information technology are intensely changing customersâ demands and expectations resulting a total transformation in the way that customers are interfering with the service providers. Secondly, is debating the subject of how financial service industry should balance customer experience expectations, considering that the banks are activating in an environment disrupted by the raise of distributed ledger technology, machine learning, big data analytics, roboadvice and other technology/digitalization proliferated by the FinTechs. Lastly it is analyzed how European regulatory bodies are seeing and managing the new technologies and FinTechs, how agile should be in an ecosystem that is very dynamic and governed by a customer with a lot of choices, good or bad, risky or non-risky, in front of his decision.
Rural planning is perceived as a spatial planning centered on the human settlements and there are many activities for rural reconstruction and researches conducted from the perspective of active intervention, with fewer studies regarding the village as the main body for the establishment of self-built system. And the other-organization built by the rural areas is strongly oriented. In Asian countries like China, South Korea and Japan, there are farming traditions, in which the familial and small-scale farmland holding and agricultural production mode are deep-rooted. Traditional agriculture and rural areas are not fundamentally changed by industrialization and modernization process. And the small-scale peasant in the East is marked by the decentralized possession of farmland and management in the rural areas and a large number of farmers to be remained. But the rural population keeps decreasing. After analyzing the status quo of human settlements in China, Korea and Japan, the paper makes an analysis from the different ways of thinking and professional perspective and focuses on putting forward the solutions to the problems on macro level, with the feasibility of the practical significance and the landing researches still staying in the testing stage. In the context of increasingly missing regional and contextual features, the launching and researches of "co-constructed community" as the folk protection way to emerging rural heritage are just started, and the researches on rural construction in Northeast China from the perspective of catalyst are absent. The contact agent with the catalytic action mechanism of seeing big things through small ones fits the rural areas marked by vast territory and diversified aspect, which is applicable to the bottom-up operation mechanism autonomously built by the villagers.
In a highly readable and often immersively engaging book, Yale law professors Oona Hathaway and Scott Shapiro have narrated a long history of international lawâs ideas about war with one primary goal in mind: using history to excavate the 1928 Paris Peace Pactâs central importance in the building of a New World Order. They seek to protect the gains of this New World Order and to use their method of âlooking backâ to draw attention to the current threats to the âpostwar consensus on the illegality of warâ and to âchart a path aheadâ (at 415â416). The bookâs narrative spans an impressive temporal and geographic range, beginning briefly with a hot summer day in Paris in 1928, then back to a night in 1603 off the Strait of Singapore, right up to the contemporary period, focusing on the South China Sea in 2015, Crimea in 2014 and Iraq and Syria from 2014 to today. The authors narrate the ideas and biographies of âfathersâ of the Old and New World Orders including the familiar (Hugo Grotius, Carl Schmitt, Hans Kelsen, Hersch Lauterpacht) and the less well known (Nishi Amande, James T. Shotwell, Salmon Levinson). It is these great men, categorized as either âInterventionistsâ or âInternationalistsâ who, through force of will and the faith in their ideas, coupled with elite access and sometimes frenetic writings, changed the course of legal order in the world. This cast of characters is arranged as heroes and villains (âarraignedâ may be more appropriate for the latter) in the epic, transformational struggle to displace one âuniverseâ with another (at xv). The object of this progressive struggle was the âoutlawry of warâ â its prohibition, casting it out from the legal toolkit of sovereign state policy, consigning it to a dark past of interstate violence. It is important to bear in mind that this âstruggleâ is one that is openly engaged with by the authors themselves, not simply the jurists and ideas men they seek to portray. This is history in the service of clear normative commitments. The bookâs monumental spatio-temporal reach, epic narrative and archival mastery in the first two parts, and its empirical turn in the final, third part, invite cross-disciplinary dialogue and insights that require us to step outside the comfort of disciplinary enclosures and unnecessarily bounded specialization. The book justifies reflection and debate not just among international legal scholars but also among colleagues in history, international relations and political science. It achieves what its marketing material promises: genuine provocation through the boldness of its vision. Holding these values in the frame, then, I explore in this review essay the authorsâ upfront normative commitments to the New World Order, focusing on questions of method and theory in international lawâs historical and empirical âturnsâ. Following a summary of the bookâs structure and principal arguments, I examine the implications of narrating history in epochal form, highlighting the promises and pitfalls of such âprogressiveâ accounts, and then interrogate the turn to empirical data as a way of understanding the New World Order. I argue that the âbirdâs eye viewâ (at 311) that dominates the perspectival orientation of the bookâs third part performs what Donna Haraway identifies as a âgod-trickâ of appearing to see everything from nowhere.1 I draw upon interdisciplinary insights from science and technology studies (STS) to invite reflection on what is at stake when we use âscienceâ to see the world with this kind of eye. Such âscientificâ ways of knowing are attempts to âproveâ through âattestive witnessingâ and claim to transcend politics, but STS scholars have long demonstrated that there is always a politics to the production of knowledge.2 In the next section, I attend to some of the more obvious gaps in their narrative, focusing on the decolonization revolution and more âradicalâ world reordering movements and then address the endurance of justifying war through law. I close with reflections upon the following we the authorsâ of and of world what a legal revolution and and by is it and we in these questions of from a that its force in in this In the bookâs we that the Old World Order was the that war a of was an of (at xv). of the legal the Old World Order with the not is to be the of but also is the of warâ (at of war is with to of in an world. we that in order to the of legal for the of war the This that legal in that to for when was in war (at The also be to be through the of from another the right to its was the and engaged in the not to the legal of the a the to â that interstate by (at the of this the authors us through the Old World Order.

S. Nakamoto prĂ€sentierte 2008 eine Peer-to-Peer Version von elektronischem Geld: Bitcoin. Dieses System ermöglicht den direkten Zahlungsverkehr zwischen verschiedenen Personen und Organisationen, ohne Finanzdienstleister oder andere zu-vertrauende Dritte als IntermediĂ€re einsetzen zu mĂŒssen. Im Zuge dessen entwickelte er die erste praktische Lösung fĂŒr das Problem der Konsensfindung innerhalb eines dynamischen Netzwerks von potentiell anonymen Knoten, ohne die Notwendigkeit diese zuvor festzulegen. Dieses Ergebnis wird auf Basis des Konzepts von Proof-of-Work erzielt, das auf Grund der hohen Anforderungen fĂŒr die benötigten Berechnungen zu einem enormen Energieverbrauch fĂŒhrt. Unter Verwendung des alternativen Prinzips von Proof-of-Stake versuchen neue Protokolle Nakamoto's Ansatz weiterzuentwickeln. Eine grundlegende Voraussetzung fĂŒr die Sicherheit dieser Protokolle ist eine vertrauenswĂŒrdige (d. h. öffentlich-verifizierbare und manipulationssichere) Quelle von Zufallszahlen. Deren Erzeugung stellt ein komplexes Problem dar, da diese in einem dezentralen Netzwerk unter dem potentiellen Einfluss von Angreifern durchgefĂŒhrt wird. KĂŒrzlich veröffentlichte Forschungsergebnisse und Projekte aus der Wirtschaft beschĂ€ftigen sich mit diesem Problem und stellen sogenannte Random Beacon Protokolle vor, welche die erforderlichen Zufallszahlen in regelmĂ€Ăigen Intervallen generieren. Diese Diplomarbeit beschĂ€ftigt sich intensiv mit den Herausforderungen der Entwicklung von Random Beacon Protokollen und liefert den ersten detaillierten Vergleich. Es wird gezeigt, dass Publicly-Verfiable Secret Sharing (PVSS) in vielen dieser AnsĂ€tze als gemeinsame Komponente dient. Weiters prĂ€sentiert diese Arbeit ein neu entwickeltes Protokoll, das ebenfalls PVSS verwendet und die Skalierbarkeit im Vergleich zu den bereits existierenden deutlich verbessert. Da dieser neue Ansatz nur eine PVSS-Instanz pro Runde benötigt, verringert sich der Kommunikationsaufwand von O(nÂł) auf O(nÂČ). Diese Verbesserung wird erzielt, ohne auf wichtige Protokolleigenschaften, wie öffentliche Verifizierbarkeit, Manipulationssicherheit oder Nichtvorhersagbarkeit, verzichten zu mĂŒssen. DarĂŒber hinaus erfolgt eine Optimierung der erarbeiteten Lösung durch die Entwicklung einer Protokollerweiterung, die die Interaktion zwischen den Knoten weiter reduziert und einen nahezu optimalen Kommunikationsaufwand von O(n c) erreicht. Dennoch stellt das erweiterte Protokoll mit sehr groĂer Wahrscheinlichkeit sicher, dass Zufallszahlen kontinuierlich erzeugt werden können und diese weder manipulierbar noch vorhersagbar sind.
