Lecture 2
The document provides an overview of key concepts in economics. It discusses how economics uses scientific methods and relies on positive and normative analysis. Two important models are introduced: the circular flow model which illustrates transactions between households and firms, and the production possibilities frontier which shows output combinations given available resources. Microeconomics focuses on individual parts of the economy while macroeconomics looks at aggregate trends.
Fall 2014 - MAG First Meeting
The document describes the MacroAnalysis Group (MAG) at Boston University's Undergraduate Economics Association. MAG enhances students' understanding of economics through collaboratively researching and reporting on macroeconomic conditions. Students select economic indicators to analyze, compose checkpoint and final reports, and develop professional skills outside the classroom. The timeline outlines submitting indicator selections in October and checkpoint and final reports in late October through December. Students pick an economic aspect to research, identify relevant indicators, and conduct qualitative and quantitative analysis relating their findings to macroeconomic importance.

Economics is the study of how individuals and nations manage scarce resources. It can be studied as both a science and an art. As a science, economics uses systematic methods to collect and analyze data. As an art, economics provides practical guidance to solve economic problems. Economics can be broadly classified into microeconomics and macroeconomics. Microeconomics examines individual agents and firms, while macroeconomics looks at aggregate economic measures for a whole economy. Managerial or business economics applies economic theory to business decision making, such as determining the optimal price, production level, and resource allocation to maximize profits.

Introduction to Managerial Economics
Managerial economics deals with scarcity and resource allocation to maximize satisfaction. It involves decision making including defining targets, analyzing alternatives, and choosing the best option. An example shows that US healthcare spending has increased faster than GDP since 1990 due to rising costs measured as a percentage of GDP. Managerial economics examines the production, demand, and distribution of goods and services in an economy.

Tagging with Rich Knowledge Graphs
Webinar: Tagging with Rich Knowledge Graphs
Presenter: Borislav Popov, Director Business Development, UK
Semantic tagging is the driving force behind text analytics used by news and media organizations increasingly often. The service can help publishers target content with pinpoint accuracy.
The webinar revolves around Ontotext's semantic publishing stack and lessons learned from production deployments of GraphDB, Concept Extraction Service and the Dynamic Semantic Publishing Platform, but it does not require prior knowledge of the Ontotext product set. As a result, we hope to give you a wider understanding of the interplay between text analytics and linked data, the importance of machine learning and continuous adaptation based on user feedback.
Besides some of the reasons and benefits for using semantic tagging, its application both through an UI and as SaaS is also discussed. Presented are the data sets compiled in order to support the text analytics and what are the machine learning driven training processes in order to resolve their inherent ambiguity. Other points of discussion include methodology for building new tagging pipelines and how to address different domains, languages and types of content.

The Cochrane library
The Cochrane Library is a collection of databases that provides high-quality, systematic reviews of the effects of healthcare interventions. It contains the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, which summarizes conclusions about the effectiveness of interventions based on empirical evidence. Cochrane Reviews are considered the gold standard for systematic reviews because they are conducted to the highest methodological quality and updated regularly. The Cochrane Library also includes databases of controlled trials, reviews of other systematic reviews, methodology research, and economic evaluations to inform evidence-based healthcare decisions.

The document discusses the benefits of providing an accessible service for disabled customers and complying with disability discrimination laws. It notes that around 7% of university students declare a disability.

The document advocates adopting a positive approach to disabled customers and making reasonable adjustments to overcome accessibility barriers and ensure all customers receive equal treatment.More from Newcastle University Library (20)
