Abstract Using confidential daily data, we examine the Bank of Israel's foreign exchange interventions from 2013 to 2019. We find that a 1 billion U.S. dollars (USD) purchase leads to a 0.82% depreciation of the Israeli Shekel (ILS)–a strong effect compared to other studies.

A Double Joint Bayesian Approach for J-Vector Based Text-dependent Speaker Verification
J-vector has been proved to be very effective in text-dependent speaker verification with short-duration speech. However, the current state-of-the-art back-end classifiers, e.g. joint Bayesian model, cannot make full use of such deep features.

Unlike domestic violence often is perpetrated by persons within the nuclear family, Honour Based Violence often involves multiple persons within the nuclear and extended family and may very well involve persons from the close community. It may be condoned and is at times even encouraged within the family and in close social circles.

On the Optimal Selection of Mel‐Frequency Cepstral Coefficients for Voice Deepfake Detection
ABSTRACT The continuous evolution of techniques for generating manipulated audio, known as voice deepfakes, and the widespread availability of tools that produce convincing forgeries have created an urgent need for reliable detection methods. This work considers the dimensionality of Mel‐Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) as a core design variable

Dynamic signature verification based on hybrid wavelet-Fourier transform [PDF]
In this paper, we propose a dynamic signature verification system which integrates hybrid of Discrete Wavelet Transform and Discrete Fourier Transform (DWT-DFT) for feature extraction.

Racialized Labour in the Colonial Food Regime: The Whitening of England's Farmworkers
ABSTRACT The crystallization of a colonial food regime in the 1870s centred around Britain is key to historical accounts of agrarian political economy. Yet such accounts have neglected the role of the agrarian proletariat in shaping this regime from below and its basis in racialized hierarchy.
