AbstractFollowing natural catastrophes, insurers have many decisions to make regarding their future in a state. In this article, we examine the impact of insurance regulation on the insurer’s decision to continue to provide homeowner insurance products in the state. Using a dataset of form, rate, and rule filing submissions by insurers from 2008 to 2022, we empirically test whether insurers are more likely to engage with the regulator following a natural catastrophe.

AbstractThe lightweight cipher, SPECK 32/64, is designed to be a secure cipher that can be used in a resource-constrained environment. SPECK 32/64 involves a pair of rotation constant parameters (α,β). Different investigators, including the original designers, suggested different choices of (α,β) primarily keeping the implementation issues in mind. The objective of this study is to check whether these choices compromise the security of SPECK-like ciphers, namely SPECK 32/64 and SPECK 64/128.

ABSTRACTWhilst recognising puberty as a period of significant change, this paper argues that, rather than being simply a period of transition on a continuum of ongoing development, puberty is, in fact, a point of rupture of the child concept of self and a ‘re-birth’ into a new, emerging adolescent concept of self. As such, the fledgling adolescent becomes not 10, 11, 12 years of age, but rather, newborn, 1, 2  years of age in terms of their newly forming self-concept.
