The raison d'être of diffusion intermediaries in solar and wind power in Sweden

Renewable energy technologies such as solar photovoltaics (PV) and wind power are now mature enough to be utilized as a means to build a sustainable energy system. Regardless, the diffusion of these technologies is not always a seamless process since it involves many actors and complex implementation procedures. Therefore, there is a need for actors that can facilitate the diffusion of these technologies. Diffusion intermediaries such as project developers can play a crucial role in this regard, by acting between input providers such as technology suppliers and adopters to facilitate the implementation of these technologies. This thesis scrutinizes the raison d'etre (reason for being) of diffusion intermediaries by focusing on the activities of and value generation by solar and wind power diffusion intermediaries in Sweden. The thesis is based on qualitative methods, including a qualitative survey with semi-structured interviews of diffusion intermediaries in Sweden, a one-month longitudinal embedded case study of one solar PV intermediary in Sweden, and a longitudinal multiple case study of six large-scale projects. The results of these studies are presented in a compiled synthesis and three appended papers. The findings of these studies indicate that the raison d'etre of diffusion intermediaries is to broker between at least two other parties in implementation projects. A literature review revealed that scholars do not always succeed in explicating the in-betweenness of intermediaries. By contrasting intermediation activities with other activities, it was possible to provide a more complete and nuanced understanding of the complex context that diffusion intermediaries are part of. The results reflect that diffusion intermediaries are, to some extent, involved in one-to-one activities that can be important in satisfying adopters’ needs. The results also revealed that value creation in implementation projects unfolds during the collaboration and that a potentially fruitful approach aims at focusing on value co-creation with adopters. It is also seen that it is possible to view intermediation as an iterative process consisting of both intermediation and other activities in different phases of implementation, which oftentimes starts and ends with non-intermediation activities. These results have several policy and managerial implications. Managers are recommended to focus on adapting their services to match the different needs of adopters. Policy makers should consider the multifaceted activities that diffusion intermediaries conduct in order to make seemingly complex implementation procedures appear simple and comprehensible to adopters. Future research can focus on additional deep longitudinal case studies of diffusion intermediaries to provide a more detailed understanding of the activities associated with brokering in different empirical contexts.

Streamline simulation of water-oil displacement in a heterogeneous fractured reservoir using different transfer functions

Main parts of oil and gas reserves are stored in fractured reservoirs. Simulation of multiphase flow in fractured reservoirs requires a large amount of calculations due to the complexity, reservoir scale and heterogeneity of the rock properties. The accuracy and speed of the streamline method for simulating hydrocarbon reservoirs at field scale make it more applicable than conventional Eulerian simulators using finite difference and finite element techniques. Conventional simulators for fractured reservoirs consume a great deal of time and expense and require powerful CPUs like supercomputers. This makes the development of a fast, powerful and precise simulation method of great importance. The present study was undertaken to develop a computational code as a streamline simulator to study waterflooding in a two-dimensional fractured reservoir with heterogeneous permeability using the Dual Porosity-Single Permeability (DPSP) model. In this simulator, the pressure equation is solved implicitly over an Eulerian grid and then the streamlines are generated using Pollock's semi-analytical method and are traced. At this point, the Time-Of-Flight (TOF) is developed and the saturation equations are mapped and solved explicitly along the streamlines. Next, the results are transferred back onto the Eulerian grid and the calculations are repeated until the simulation end time. In fractured reservoirs, the interaction between the matrix and fracture is included in the transfer functions. Transfer functions model fluid flow and production mechanisms between the matrix and fracture. They introduce source/sink equations between the matrix and fracture and they are distributed throughout the media. In the current study, a problem is simulated using streamline method and several important transfer functions. A new linear transfer function with a constant coefficient is introduced that is based on differences in water saturation between the matrix and fracture. The simulation results were then compared and a commercial software is applied to solve the same problem. The results of the streamline simulator were compared with those of the commercial software and showed appropriate accuracy for the newly introduced transfer function. The accuracy and efficiency of the streamline simulator for simulation of two-phase flow in fractured reservoirs using different transfer functions are confirmed and the results are verified.

TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY AS DETERMINANTS IN THE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT OF UNIVERSITIES: A STUDY ON STATE UNIVERSITIES IN MALANG CITY

Educational organizations are public sector organizations, making transparency and accountability two important principles that must be reflected in their financial management. This requirement is enshrined in the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 12 of 2012 on University. Two factors that can potentially influence transparency and accountability of financial management are the presentation of financial report of the organization in question and accessibility to such statements. This research is intend to analyze the impact of financial report presentation and accessibility to financial reports on transparency and accountability of financial management of a state university in Malang City. Rate of returned and completed questionnaire is 100%, comprising of 252 questionnaires. Data analysis is conducted using multiple linear regression. There are two independent variables used in this research, namely the presentation of financial reports and accessibility to financial reports, and two independent variables, namely transparency and accountability of financial management. The result of this research indicates that the presentation of financial reports and accessibility to financial reports have a positive impact on transparency and accessibility in financial management. This in turn implies that the public would consider that financial management at the state university is accountable if its financial report is prepared in accordance with the applicable standards and easily accessed.
Women’s time use and implications for participation in cacao value chains: evidence from VRAEM, Peru

ABSTRACT Bringing inclusion into value chain development requires interventions that account for gender-based constraints and opportunities. Key determinants of women’s capacity to participate are their availability and access to interventions. Twenty-four-hour recall surveys with 53 women from households engaged in a cacao expansion intervention in Peru found women with a strong interest in cacao; however, participation was thwarted by household responsibilities and exclusion from training. Findings emphasise the need to actively engage women in intervention design, and monitor and evaluate their time use, recognising the unintended consequences of increased time investments, and hence the unexpected impacts of these development interventions.
PR ] 6 S ep 2 01 8 Around the entropic Talagrand inequality

In this article we study generalization of the classical Talagrand transport entropy inequality in which the Wasserstein distance is replaced by the entropic transportation cost. This class of inequalities has been introduced in the recent work [9], in connection with the study of Schrödinger bridges. We provide several equivalent characterizations in terms of reverse hypercontractivity for the heat semigroup, contractivity of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman semigroup and dimensionfree concentration of measure. Properties such as tensorization and relations to other functional inequalities are also investigated. In particular, we show that the inequalities studied in this article are implied by a Logarithmic Sobolev inequality and imply Talagrand inequality.
Breadth of Productive Vocabulary Knowledge of Pre-Service Teachers: Basis for the Proposed Intervention Strategies in Vocabulary Enhancement.

This research sought to determine the level of productive vocabulary knowledge of the students grouped according to type of school and curriculum year level; performance of the students in the vocabulary test categorized according to frequency levels; their breadth of productive vocabulary knowledge related to type of school enrolled in, curriculum year level, and exposure to information media; and the intervention strategies that may be proposed to enhance students’ productive vocabulary knowledge. The Vocabulary Level Test (VLT) designed by Nation (1990) and widely used as a second language diagnostic test in New Zealand and other Englishspeaking countries, was adopted and used as a tool to measure selected pre-service teachers’ breadth or size of productive vocabulary knowledge against word-frequency lists. The subjects were the pre-service teachers enrolled in state and private colleges. Only the freshmen and seniors taking up Bachelor in Elementary Education and Bachelor in Secondary Education were chosen to participate in the study. Results of the investigation suggest that: (1) Pre-service teachers in both public and private schools still lack the productive vocabulary knowledge in English to make them proficient and effective speakers and writers; (2) Students from state colleges have wider vocabulary knowledge than those from the private colleges. However, the breadth of their vocabulary knowledge is not sufficient to make them effective user of the language; (3) Longer exposure to the English language in the school helps increase vocabulary size; and (4) Exposure to information media helps widens breadth of productive vocabulary. It was recommended that: (1) Productive Vocabulary Levels Test by Nation (1990) should be used, then, in all tertiary institutions as an additional quantitative measure for students’ vocabulary size; (2) Students should be provided adequate access to the computer/internet, cable network, English reading materials, and television in the school; and 3) Teaching time allotted for vocabulary development in all classes where English is used as the medium of instruction should be lengthened.
Influence of Fringe Benefits on Employee Performance in Large Commercial Banks in Nairobi City County in Kenya

Fringe benefits have been recognized as a way that motivate employees to increase their work output above the expected, therefore increasing employee performance. Fringe benefits are types of non-wage compensation provided to employees in addition to their normal wages or salaries. Employers have become more aggressive about restructuring work in ways that push for higher productivity supported by an array of technologies and management practices. The study sought to determine the effect of fringe benefits on employee performance. Expectancy Theory on fringe benefits was used to inform the study. The study adopted a descriptive research design. Descriptive statistics was chosen since it utilized data collection and analysis techniques that yield reports concerning the measures of central tendency, variation, and correlation. The combination of its characteristic summary and correlation statistics, along with its focus on specific types of research questions, methods, and outcomes necessitated the choice of this design. The study adopted a positivism philosophy. The target population was 22,856 employees working in the six selected Commercial Banks in Nairobi City County composed of both clericals and Management staff. Krejcie and Morgan sample size determination table was used to derive a sample of 377 respondents. Primary data was collected using structured questionnaires that had both close ended and open-ended questionnaires. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS. The study conducted various tests including normality test, multicollinearity, stationarity, heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation tests. Factor analysis was carried out among corresponding questions to allow formation of factors with the highest Eigen values. Test of hypothesis was done at 95% confidence interval. The study established a positive and significant relationship between fringe benefits and employee performance (r=0.522, p=0.000), the alternate hypotheses was not rejected. Based on the findings, the study concluded that fringe benefits has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. The researcher recommends that management Commercial Banks should enhance fringe benefits to attract, retain and motivate qualified, competent employees. Employers who provide more attractive benefits package have an advantage over other employers in hiring and retaining qualified employees. Keywords; Fringe Benefits, Employee Performance, Commercial Banks & Nairobi City County, Kenya.
Effects of Grain Size on Mechanical Properties and Work‐Hardening Behavior of AISI 304 Austenitic Stainless Steel

Grain size effects on the properties of AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel are studied. Yield stress (YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) increased with decreasing grain size (Hall–Petch law) while the difference between YS and UTS decreased. Three distinct stages for work‐hardening rate are identified: I) initial rapid fall until reaching a minimum value, II) subsequent rise to a maximum due to the transformation‐induced plasticity (TRIP) effect, which is found to enhance by increasing grain size, and III) final fall until the onset of necking. More in‐depth analysis on the mechanical stability of austenite reveals that for below‐average grain size of ≈50 μm, by decreasing grain size, the TRIP effect diminishes; whereas for grain size larger than ≈50 μm, by increasing grain size, the TRIP effect becomes less pronounced. Due to the strong TRIP effect, high incremental work‐hardening exponents (n‐values of higher than 0.8) and low‐yield ratios (smaller than 0.5) are observed. It is also found that when the average grain size increases, the tensile toughness and the size and depth of dimples increase. The latter is responsible for the tardiness of the microcavity coalescence, which is indicative of high ductility of this austenitic alloy.

Remittances and Institutions

This paper addresses the complex and overlooked relationship between the receipt of workers' remittances and institutional quality in the recipient country. Using a simple model, we show how an increase in remittance inflows can lead to deterioration of institutional quality - specifically, to an increase in the share of funds diverted by the government for its own purposes. Empirical testing of this proposition is complicated by the likelihood of reverse causality. In a cross section of 111 countries we document a negative impact of the ratio of remittance inflows to GDP on domestic institutional quality, even after controlling for potential reverse causality. We find that a higher ratio of remittances to GDP is associated with lower indices of control of corruption, government effectiveness, and rule of law.
Sectoral Analysis of Factors Influencing Dividend Policy: Case of an Emerging Financial Market

This study aims to determine whether a firm’s dividends are influenced by the sector to which it belongs. This paper also examines the explanatory factors for dividends across individual sectors in India. This longitudinal study uses balanced data consisting of companies listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) of India for 12 years—from 2006 to 2017. Pooled ordinary least squares (POLSs) and fixed effects panel models are used in our estimation. We find that size, profitability, and interest coverage ratios have a significant positive relation to dividend policy. Furthermore, business risk and debt reveal a significantly negative relation with dividends. The findings on profitability support the free cash flow hypothesis for India. However, we also found that Indian companies prefer to follow a stable dividend policy. As a result of this, even firms with higher growth opportunities and lower cash flows continue to pay dividends. We also find evidence that dividend policies vary significantly across industrial sectors in India. The results of this study can be used by financial managers and policymakers in order to make appropriate dividend decisions. They can also help investors make portfolio selection decisions based on sectoral dividend paying behavior.
A Mixed Methods Study on the Status of School Orchestra Programs in Oregon: An Explanation of Inhibiting and Promoting Factors

The purpose of this explanatory sequential mixed methods study was to examine the status of school orchestra programs in Oregon and to explain the reasoning behind the descriptive data. The quantitative phase of the study reported the data on the number of school districts and schools by type that offer orchestra instruction as well as the profile of those schools, their orchestra programs, and orchestra teachers. Unexpected findings from the quantitative phase indicated that among the three large school districts that are comparable in size, budget, and students’ demographics, only one offers orchestra instruction in every school within the district (n = 65) while the other two districts offer orchestra instruction in one high school each. This finding prompted the qualitative phase of the study that illuminated factors that inhibit and promote the quality of education within Oregon schools. The mixed methods findings explained the discrepancy in music offerings among the three large school districts through the perspectives of the three arts administrators, one from each district.
