...BRM/353 Apple iPad Air Promoted and proposed by Apple Inc., the iPad is and iOS operated line of tablet computers. The first tablet computer designed by Apple was the Newton MessagePad 100, which was announced in 1993. Apple had also established a sample PowerBook Duo based tablet, which was known as the PenLite, but chose not to retail it to prevent having an effect on the MessagePad sales. In 2007, Apple decided to re-enter the mobile-computing markets and introduced the iPhone. The iPhone is smaller in size than the iPad and features a mobile phone and a camera while also initiating the finger-sensitive multi-touch touchscreen of Apple's iOS mobile working structure. The release of the iPad had been assumed for numerous years by the end of 2009. Many rumors spoke mainly about “Apple’s tablet” and suggested names such as the iTablet. In January of 2010, Steve Jobs introduced the iPad at an Apple press conference in San Francisco (Ritchie, R. 2014, October 6). The first Apple iPad was released in April of 2010. The use of the iPad is constructed throughout the device's wide range of a touch screen, which includes a simulated keyboard. The iPad contains already installed Wi-Fi and on certain styles, a cellular connection. On a financial conference call in October of 2010, Steve Jobs stated that Apple retailed more iPads than Mac computers for the fiscal quarter. Before the actual unveiling of the iPad 2, Apple retailed more than 15 million iPads that were first-generation...

...Swot banking The rise of retail lending in emerging economies like India has been of recent origin. Asia Pacific’s vast population, combined with high savings rates, explosive economic growth, and underdeveloped retail banking services, provide the most significant growth opportunities for banks. Banks will have to serve the retail banking segment effectively in order to utilize the growth opportunity. Banking strategies are presently undergoing various transformations, as the overall scenario has changed over the last couple of years. Till the recent past, most of the banks had adopted fierce costcutting measures to sustain their competitiveness. This strategy however has become obsolete in the new light of immense growth opportunities for banking industry. Most bankers are now confident about their high performance in terms of organic growth and in realising high returns. Nowadays, the growth strategies of banks revolve around customer satisfaction. Improved customer relationship management can only lead to fulfilment of long-term, as well as, short-term objectives of the bankers. This requires, efficient and accurate customer database management and development of well-trained sales force to develop and sustain long-term profitable customer relationship. The banking system in India is significantly different from that of the other Asian nations, because of the country’s unique geographic, social, and economic characteristics. Though the sector opened up quite...

...Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction Social media had been a massive part in every household. Technology had given us a great deal and helped us with our tasks and made everything easy. We know that social media sites like (Google+, Twitter, Facebook and Yahoo) had introduced us in many methods that can connect people easier. Social media sites had been a popular means to connect with other people over the Internet. During the 1980's home computers were becoming more common in every household and social media sites were becoming more refined. According to Hendricks, (2013) The Internet relay chats, or IRCs, were first used in 1988 and were popularized into the '90s. The first popular social media site, Six Degrees, was created in 1997. The site enabled its users to upload a profile and make friends with the other users. By 2006, Facebook and Twitter both became available to users throughout the world. These sites still remain as the most popular social network on the Internet. After the success of these social media sites, other sites like Tumbler, Spotify, Foursquare and Pinterest began appearing to fill specific social network niches. Furthermore, Hendricks (2013) emphasized that, "there are a tremendous variety of social networking sites, and many of them can be linked to allow cross posting. This creates an environment where users can reach the maximum number of people without sacrificing the intimacy of person-to-person communication. We can only speculate...

...Para os meus pais, porque "o valor das coisas não está no tempo que elas duram, mas na intensidade com que acontecem. Por isso existem momentos inesquecíveis, coisas inexplicáveis e pessoas incomparáveis" como vocês! Obrigado por tudo, Filipe Abstract The Retail Banking Industry has been severely affected by fraud over the past few years. Indeed, despite all the research and systems available, fraudsters have been able to outsmart and deceive the banks and their customers. With this in mind, we intend to introduce a novel and multi-purpose technology known as Stream Computing, as the basis for a Fraud Detection solution. Indeed, we believe that this architecture will stimulate research, and more importantly organizations, to invest in Analytics and Statistical Fraud-Scoring to be used in conjunction with the already in-place preventive techniques. Therefore, in this research we explore different strategies to build a Streambased Fraud Detection solution, using advanced Data Mining Algorithms and Statistical Analysis, and show how they lead to increased accuracy in the detection of fraud by at least 78% in our reference dataset. We also discuss how a combination of these strategies can be embedded in a Stream-based application to detect fraud in real-time. From this perspective, our experiments lead to an average processing time of 111,702ms per transaction, while strategies to further improve the performance are discussed.

The fact that using better technology and systems, banks can garner more customers, retain existing ones and channel more of the customers business to its counters has forced business department to now look at IT as an effective marketing tool. On the operational side, the power of IT in reducing transaction costs, providing better customer service and offering an over-all customer convenience has basically made this a win-win situation for both banks as well as its clients. These have become the main drivers for getting IT the importance it has got in banks in recent times. The nerve centre of technology in a bank’s IT dept. is the ‘Core Banking System’. This paper aims at understanding the role of core systems, the scope of core systems, evaluation methodologies adopted by banks in selecting core systems, typical pitfalls in implementations, and recent and future trends in the core systems.

...FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING INFORMATION AND THE RELEVANCE/IRRELEVANCE ISSUE (Global Business & Economics Review Volume 5 No.2 December 2003 pp:140-175) Stanley C. W. Salvary, Canisius College ABSTRACT Some current research conclude that the numbers in financial statements are not relevant for three basic reasons. The numbers: (1) are not isomorphic with capital market values, (2) do not have a future orientation, and (3) are un-interpretable since they are based upon five different measurement attributes. The lack of isomorphism argument is invalid since actual current performance is not identical with the capital market expectations of future performance. The lack of a future orientation argument is invalid since financial statements capture what has happened and not what is expected to happen. Since a single measurement attribute is required to produce meaningful measures, the un-interpretability argument holds. A unique measurement attribute is identified in this paper to address this problem I. INTRODUCTION In Statement of Financial Accounting Concepts No. 1: Objectives of Financial Reporting by Business Enterprises (SFAC1) [1978], the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) maintains that the function of financial accounting is to generate information useful to a group of users (investors and creditors) for decision-making. The focus on that specific function (decision-making) leads to a concern for predictive value, as opposed to feedback value, in financial statements...
