Sales and Markup Dispersion: Theory and Empirics

We characterize the relationship between the distributions of two variables linked by a structural model. We then show that, in models of heterogeneous firms in monopolistic competition, this relationship implies a new demand function that we call “CREMR” (Constant Revenue Elasticity of Marginal Revenue). This demand function is the only one that is consistent with productivity and sales distributions having the same form (whether Pareto, lognormal, or Fréchet) in the cross section, and it is necessary and sufficient for Gibrat's Law to hold over time. Among the applications we consider, we use our methodology to characterize misallocation across firms; we derive the distribution of markups implied by any assumptions on demand and productivity; and we show empirically that CREMR‐based markup distributions provide an excellent parsimonious fit to Indian firm‐level data, which in turn allows us to calculate the proportion of firms that are of suboptimal size in the market equilibrium.
Influential Journeys Through Dental Communities of Practice : A Phenomenological Based Enquiry Approach The Advanced Journal of Professional Practice

What this paper adds: Journeys within Communities of Practice (CoP) are both under explored or theorised. This study offers a new perspective to those wishing to share or renegotiate the power distribution, particularly within a professional CoP, through full and legitimate participation. Groups who may be underrepresented and have limited professional legitimacy might be particularly interested. By identifying the significant features of the journey from the periphery to central core participation in a dental CoP, the pathway may be illuminated for those who may wish to embark on a similar journey in a professional CoP elsewhere.

Translanguaging as a teaching resource in early language learning of English as a an additional language (EAL)

Tradicionalment, l'ensenyament de llengues s’ha basat en un enfocament monolingue i l'estricta separacio de llengues a l’aula s'ha considerat un requisit indefugible per garantir l’exit d’aquest proces d'aprenentatge. No obstant aixo, s'ha demostrat que l'us flexible del repertori linguistic de l'alumnat, conegut com a translanguaging , tambe pot resultar beneficios per tal d’aprendre l’angles com a llengua estrangera (vid. Jones i Lewis, 2014). El present estudi te com a objectiu examinar el translanguaging i les seues funcions en l’aprenentatge primerenc de llengues, tenint en compte la taxonomia proposada per Garcia et al. (2011). Les dades, de tipus qualitatiu, es van recollir en tres classes d'angles per a 25 pre-escolars valencians. Els i les participants, de 4 i 5 anys d’edat, estudiaven el segon curs de l’etapa d’Educacio Infantil a un col·legi amb un programa d'immersio linguistica en catala, en el qual s'utilitzen altres dues llengues com a vehicles d'instruccio (castella i angles). Els resultats mostren com l’estudiantat en edat de pre-alfabetitzacio fa servir les seves L1, L2 i L3 estrategicament per a realitzar diferents funcions comunicatives, sense comprometre l’exposicio a la llengua meta, l’angles. Com a conclusio, considerem que un enfocament monolingue envers l’ensenyament de l’angles com a llengua addicional (EAL) no es una imatge realista de l'us de les llengues que fa l’alumnat tant dins com fora de l'aula en entorns multilingues.

Patterns of cancer occurrence in a tertiary care centre

Background: This study is an attempt to know the incidence of cancer in a tertiary care centre. Statistics for all newly diagnosed cancer cases by correlation with factors like age, gender & organ systems involved with complete histopathological evaluation is presented. Emphasis is given to segregating each cancer and grouping them into their respective order for statistical analysis. Objectives of the study was to conduct a prospective statistical analysis, computing and comparing rates, ratios and percentages of cancer incidence in relation to epidemiological parameters like age, gender, organ system and site involved, etc. and correlating with other national and international studies. Methods: All newly diagnosed cancer cases from various surgical and medical specialities were consolidated into a core database and various statistical outputs were worked out, like cancer incidence comparative rate, ratios and percentages for parameters like age distribution to gender wise, system wise, organ wise, etc. Results: Out of total 2278 cancer cases, in males (1003 cases/44.03%), tumors of head and neck (468 cases/20.54 %) were most common, and among which oral cavity cancers (278 cases/59.4 %) were most common. In females (1273 cases/55.9 %), cervical cancers (314 cases/13.7 %) were most common followed by breast cancers (218 cases/9.56 %). In children (69 cases/3.03 %) hematopoietic neoplasms (17 cases/30.3 %) were most common. Conclusions: The current study mainly summarizes the different patterns of cancer incidence in the tertiary care centre region. Cancer incidence is increasing gradually among the population and there is raise of cancer incidence in females compared to their counterparts.

Nowadays touch technology is growing and developers try to make it ever more intuitive and easier to use. This present work focused on the upper limb joint coordination during the achievement of puzzles on touch screen. A 5-inch and 10-inch devices were used to perform 9 and 16 pieces puzzles dragged with digits. The conclusions showed an increase in joint solicitation with the number of piece and the touch screen size. Moreover, three interactions strategies proved to be an evidence: the ‘wrist strategy’ preferentially implying wrist flexion/extension, the ‘elbow strategy’ preferentially implying the elbow flexion/extension and the ‘neutral strategy’ mobilising equally the two joints. From an ergonomic point of view, the data about how the upper limb segments are mobilised while interacting with the screen could be relevant to increase the adaptability of the devices to the user, including users with motor impairments. Practitioner Summary : Information about the biomechanical organisation of movement during interaction with touch devices appears relevant in order to develop applications adapted to the motor capacities of users. From the analysis of joint angles when performing several times a puzzle with healthy subjects, three motor strategies were highlighted.

Entropy and its variational principle for locally compact metrizable systems

For a given topological dynamical system $T:X\rightarrow X$ over a compact set $X$ with a metric $d$ , the variational principle states that $$\begin{eqnarray}\sup _{\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}}h_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}}(T)=h(T)=h_{d}(T),\end{eqnarray}$$ where $h_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}}(T)$ is the Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy with the supremum taken over every $T$ -invariant probability measure, $h_{d}(T)$ is the Bowen entropy and $h(T)$ is the topological entropy as defined by Adler, Konheim and McAndrew. In Patrão [Entropy and its variational principle for non-compact metric spaces. Ergod. Th. & Dynam. Sys. 30 (2010), 1529–1542], the concept of topological entropy was adapted for the case where $T$ is a proper map and $X$ is locally compact separable and metrizable, and the variational principle was extended to $$\begin{eqnarray}\sup _{\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}}h_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}}(T)=h(T)=\min _{d}h_{d}(T),\end{eqnarray}$$ where the minimum is taken over every distance compatible with the topology of $X$ . In the present work, we drop the properness assumption and extend the above result for any continuous map $T$ . We also apply our results to extend some previous formulae for the topological entropy of continuous endomorphisms of connected Lie groups that were proved in Caldas and Patrão [Dynamics of endomorphisms of Lie groups. Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst. 33 (2013). 1351–1363]. In particular, we prove that any linear transformation $T:V\rightarrow V$ over a finite-dimensional vector space $V$ has null topological entropy.
An Experimental Study of Money Illusion in Intertemporal Decision Making

To examine the degree to which price fluctuations affect how individuals approach an intertemporal decision-making problem, we conduct a laboratory experiment in which subjects spend their savings on consumption over 20 periods. In the control treatment, the commodity price is constant across all periods. In the small (large) price-fluctuation treatment, the price rate of change is always 1% (20%), and the rate of change of savings is always the same as the commodity price. Therefore, the optimal amount of consumption is the same in all three treatments. Our main findings are threefold. First, the magnitude of misconsumption (i.e., the deviation from optimal consumption) is significantly high in order of the control, small price-fluctuation, and large price-fluctuation treatments. Second, in the control treatment, the magnitude of misconsumption shrinks over time, whereas it gradually increases in the small and large price-fluctuation treatments. Finally, regardless of the presence of price fluctuations, subjects exhibit under-consumption (over-saving) behavior, and the presence of price fluctuations strengthens such a tendency.
Single scattering albedo of fine mineral dust aerosols controlled by iron concentration

[1] Sign and magnitude of solar aerosol direct radiative forcing are largely determined by the aerosol single scattering albedo (SSA) and the albedo of the underlying scene (e.g., surface albedo). On a global scale, mineral dust aerosol has the largest mass emission rate, average column mass burden, and average optical depth of all aerosol types. Therefore, better understanding of its optical properties with a focus on SSAis of great importance. Here, we entrain ten bulk soil samples from deserts and semi-arid regions in the Arabian Peninsula, from locations representative of the Sahara and Sahel in North Africa, and from Northeast Africa and South-Central Asia. We segregate the fine particle fraction (aerodynamic diameter < 2.5μm) and measure its iron content with an x-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer and its aerosolSSA and absorption, scattering, and extinction Angstrom coefficients for two wavelengths (405 nm and 870 nm) with a photoacoustic instrument with integrating reciprocal nephelometer. Results show that SSA is much lower at 405 nm than at 870 nm and that SSA at both wavelengths is dominated by and linearly correlated with the iron content of the entrained mineral dust. The second result points toward potential use of SSA remote sensing to measure aerosol iron content and vice versa, measurements of iron content with simple filter sampling followed by XRF analysis, providing an assessment of SSA for aerosol radiative forcing calculations and modeling. Average Angstrom coefficients were ≈3.2 for absorption, ≈−0.4 for scattering, and ≈−0.3 for extinction and showed little correlation with iron content.

Experimental analysis of the operation of a solar adsorption refrigerator under Sahelian climatic conditions: case of Burkina Faso

— This work is an experimental analysis of the operation of a solar adsorption refrigerator designed for the conservation of pharmaceutical products. The experiment consisted to measure incident solar radiation on the collector-adsorber, temperature of all the components of the collector-adsorber, of the condenser, the evaporator and the storage tank. Experimental results indicated that the maximum temperature of the front face of the absorbent plate varied from 70 °C to 80 °C and that of the condenser varied from 45 °C to 53 °C. The minimum temperature reached by the evaporator was + 4 °C. With a total energy received of about 19 MJ/m 2 , this solar adsorption refrigeration device can provide a SCOP ranging from 0.09 to 0.185. These results demonstrate the technical feasibility of the prototype solar adsorption refrigerator that we have experimented .

Are Public Transport Subsidies Progressive? An Empirical Analysis on the Distributive Effects of Public Transport Subsidies in Oslo and Akershus

The goal of this thesis has been to answer the question; Are public transport subsidies progressive? With data from the Norwegian Travel Survey 13/14 we disaggregate the area of analysis to Oslo and Akershus. By dividing the sample into groups based on income, we examine the distributive effects with a three-step methodology. We study progressiveness using a descriptive, econometric and a calculative method, under the assumption that distribution of subsidies depend on public transport usage. First, the descriptive propensity approach finds the poorest group to be the most dependent on public transport. Our demand model demonstrates similar results both before and after demographic controls are included. These results pass our robustness checks. Estimated public transport use by income group is then used as an input to calculate the subsidies per group. This approach estimates that the poorest receive the most subsidies, especially when fare discounts are taken into account. Moreover, the poorest group receives on average 2 624 NOK in public transit subsidies per year, which is 38% more than the richest group. The yearly amount of subsidies received for the poorest group corresponds to 1.15% of their average income. Each method demonstrates that the poorest group is the most dependent on public transport and receives the most subsidies. In addition, the demand model suggests that the dependency is driven by factors related to income and not solely demographic characteristics in each group. Therefore, our analysis indicates that public transport subsidies in Oslo and Akershus are progressive.
Dynamics in Farm Specific Capabilities: The Impact of Capabilities on Competitive Advantage

Aims: Resource based view (RBV) consists of a rich body of related theoretical tools to analyse sources of competitive advantage at firm level and it is based on the economic rent concept which explains that a firm as a collection of unique resources and capabilities. Although the RBV theorises the relationship between resources and competitive advantage, it is still questionable that the RBV lacks a causality chain between resources and competitive advantage. This study questions the direct relationship between a firm’s specific resources and competitive advantage contending that this relationship is mediated through firm’s specific capabilities Study Design: An empirical investigation was conducted with sample consisted of farmers engaged in the commercial cultivation of minor export crops in Sri Lanka. Structural equation modelling analysis was employed to test the indirect relationships. Results: The results exemplify that the hypothesized indirect effect of capabilities on competitive advantage and different capabilities have a different effect on competitive advantage. Managerial implications are highlighted with the interesting further research areas. Original Research Article Sachitra; AJEBA, 1(2): 1-13, 2016; Article no.AJEBA. 28958 2
Trophic state, phytoplankton assemblages and limnological diagnosis of the Castanhão Reservoir, CE, Brazil

Aim: The aim of this work is to diagnose the limnological conditions of the Castanhao Reservoir which is the largest and most important reservoir in the State of Ceara. This diagnosis is focused on physical-chemical variables, trophic state indices, and phytoplankton assemblages; Methods: Water samples were collected during six occasions from November/06 to July/07 from surface and bottom of the water column at three sites across the reservoir aiming to characterize physical-chemical (depth, transparency, suspended matter, temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, redox potential, dissolved silicon, nitrogen and phosphorous) and biological (Chlorophyll-a, phytoplankton assemblages and total density) variables; Results: The trophic state index variables obtained for the reservoir showed Secchi disk depth ranging from 0.65 to 2.4 m, Chlorophyll-a from 0.71 to 15 µg. L -1 , total phosphorous from 11 to 369 µg. L -1 and soluble reactive phosphorous from 9.0 to 236 µg. L -1 . The results characterized a riverine-lacustrine transition area with low depth, transparency, dissolved oxygen with one anoxic event, and high values of suspended matter, total phosphorous and ammonium. The reduced light availability is probably the main factor inducing the low values for total phytoplankton density and Chlorophyll-a. The predominant class of phytoplankton was Bacillariophyceae with main species Aulacoseira distans var. distans as functional assemblage C. Typical lacustrine portion of the reservoir has higher depth and transparency than inlet reservoir what probably explains the higher total phytoplankton density. Cyanophyceae was the predominante phytoplankton class with main species Cylindrospermopsis raciborski as functional assemblage Sn. The phytoplankton assemblages in the Castanhao Reservoir were typical for mesotrophic/eutrophic aquatic environments confirming the trophic state of the reservoir; Conclusion: After five years completely flooded, the Castanhao Reservoir might be considered a mesotrophic, although depletion of dissolved oxygen and presence of a potentially toxic phytoplankton species (C. raciborskii) suggests the necessity of reservoir management focused on anthropogenic nutrient emission control and maintenance of natural ecological succession of the reservoir.
