Sentiment in foreign exchange markets: Hidden fundamentals by the back door or just noise?
Foreign exchange markets have to deal next to hard facts with lots of expectations and emo-tions. One of the major puzzles in international finance remains the “exchange rate discon-nect puzzleâ€. Analyzing sentiment in foreign exchange markets, it appears in fact that senti-ment contains some forward looking information. Particularly due to the unknown economic relevance of sentiment in foreign exchange markets so far, we first analyze the relationship between fundamentals and sentiment in order to reveal underlying forces of the latter; sec-ond we accomplish our analysis by concentrating on popular expectation concepts and con-sidering threshold effects. Third, we evaluate sentiment by testing on accuracy and on for-ward looking elements of subsequent exchange rate returnsForeign exchange market, sentiment, bootstrap, threshold
UEFI BIOS Accessibility for the Visually Impaired
People with some kind of disability face a high level of difficulty for
everyday tasks because, in many cases, accessibility was not considered
necessary when the task or process was designed. An example of this scenario is
a computer's BIOS configuration screens, which do not consider the specific
needs, such as screen readers, of visually impaired people. This paper proposes
the idea that it is possible to make the pre-operating system environment
accessible to visually impaired people. We report our work-in-progress in
creating a screen reader prototype, accessing audio cards compatible with the
High Definition Audio specification in systems running UEFI compliant firmware.Comment: 6 page
