Banking Without Deposits: Evidence from Shadow Bank Call Reports

Is bank capital structure designed to extract deposit subsidies? We address this question by studying capital structure decisions of shadow banks: intermediaries that provide banking services but are not funded by deposits. We assemble, for the first time, call report data for shadow banks which originate one quarter of all US household debt. We document five facts. (1) Shadow banks use twice as much equity capital as equivalent banks, but are substantially more leveraged than non-financial firms. (2) Leverage across shadow banks is substantially more dispersed than leverage across banks. (3) Like banks, shadow banks finance themselves primarily with short-term debt and originate long-term loans. However, shadow bank debt is provided primarily by informed and concentrated lenders. (4) Shadow bank leverage increases substantially with size, and the capitalization of the largest shadow banks is similar to banks of comparable size. (5) Uninsured leverage, defined as uninsured debt funding to assets, increases with size and average interest rates on uninsured debt decline with size for both banks and shadow banks. Modern shadow bank capital structure choices resemble those of pre-deposit-insurance banks both in the U.S. and Germany, suggesting that the differences in capital structure with modern banks are likely due to banks’ ability to access insured deposits. Our results suggest that banks’ level of capitalization is pinned down by deposit subsidies and capital regulation at the margin, with small banks likely to be largest recipients of deposit subsidies. Models of financial intermediary capital structure then have to simultaneously explain high (uninsured) leverage, which increases with the size of the intermediary, and allow for substantial heterogeneity across capital structures of firms engaged in similar activities. Such models also need to explain high reliance on short-term debt of financial intermediaries.
Preparing quality financial statements at health centers: to explore the role of regional inspectorates and professionalism of accounting personnel

This study aims to analyze the effect of professionalism and the inspectorates’ existence on the quality of health center financial statements in Situbondo Regency. This study uses a qualitative phenomenological approach because it deals with social phenomena as well as their interactions with certain environments and conditions. The informants were selected from health center’s accounting personnel. The data were collected using a focus group discussion. The results show that professionalism has an effect on the quality of financial statements because professional employees are skilled employees in the field and they can carry out their tasks seriously and responsibly, understand the rules, be objective and be oriented to quality results. The inspectorates’ existence encourages the health center to conduct financial reporting in accordance with the applicable standards due to the aspects of supervision and coaching.
Temperature-mediated microhabitat choice and development time based on the pgm locus in the yellow dung fly Scathophaga stercoraria

Temperature can affect the performance of insects through its influence on enzyme function. We report a series of laboratory and field experiments investigating the putatively adaptive temperature-dependent effects of phosphoglucomutase (pgm) genotype on development time, a central life-history fitness component, as mediated by the microhabitat choice of ovipositing female yellow dung flies (Scathophaga stercoraria). The allozyme corresponding to the most common pgm allele 3 (approximate 90% natural frequency) had the highest Q 10 and showed higher in vitro activity at warmer temperatures (17–27 °C), whereas the allozyme corresponding to allele 4 (4.5%) showed relatively higher activity at the lowest temperature (7 °C), and the allozyme corresponding to allele 2 (2.5%) showed lower activity throughout. A laboratory experiment revealed that egg development time for allele 3 was shortest (i.e. best) at all temperatures tested, although egg-to-adult development time was longest for offspring derived from field females bearing allele 3. Importantly, over 3 years in the field, allele 4 did not increase in frequency late in the season as the temperatures dropped. Although females augmented their proportion of eggs laid on the warmer south slope of a dung pat (adaptive response), the development times of their offspring consistently increased towards the end of the season (maladaptive response). Regardless, females did not systematically bias the pgm composition of eggs laid on the north versus south slopes, as was expected from previous work hypothesizing that females exert microhabitat choice based on the pgm locus. We conclude that, although PGM allozymes differ in activity and the pgm genotype does differentially affect development time, these effects are inconsistent, and not predictable from in vitro allozyme assays, and therefore difficult to reconcile with an adaptive framework of cryptic female choice. © 2012 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2012, 107, 686–696.
Dynamically Operated Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis in PtL—Part 2: Coping with Real PV Profiles

Climate change calls for a paradigm shift in the primary energy generation that comes with new challenges to store and transport energy. A decentralization of energy conversion can only be implemented with novel methods in process engineering. In the second part of our work, we took a deeper look into the load flexibility of microstructured Fischer–Tropsch synthesis reactors to elucidate possible limits of dynamic operation. Real data from a 10 kW photovoltaic system is used to calculate a dynamic H2 feed flow, assuming that electrolysis is capable to react on power changes accordingly. The required CO flow for synthesis could either originate from a constantly operated biomass gasification or from a direct air capture that produces CO2; the latter is assumed to be dynamically converted into synthesis gas with additional hydrogen. Thus two cases exist, the input is constantly changing in syngas ratio or flow rate. These input data were used to perform challenging experiments with the pilot scale setup. Both cases were compared. While it appeared that a fluctuating flow rate is tolerable for constant product composition, a coupled temperature-conversion relationship model was developed. It allows keeping the conversion and product distribution constant despite highly dynamic feed flow conditions.
A 3 mm Wristed Instrument for the da Vinci Robot: Setup, Characterization, and Phantom Tests for Cleft Palate Repair

Cleft palate is a congenital defect that affects approximately 1 in 800 births worldwide. A robotic approach for cleft palate repair is desired due to the potential ergonomic, vision and accessibility improvements in the small workspace of the oral cavity. This paper presents a 3 mm, 4-degree-of-freedom instrument for use with the widely available da Vinci system. The pin-jointed wrist design features cable guide channels in place of pulleys, significantly reducing the size of the wrist. Additionally, a novel cam mechanism minimizes any potential cable slack resulting from the lack of pulleys. The accuracy of the novel wrist was found to be 1.4° for motion in the same direction and the slack reducing capability of the cam mechanism was verified. Despite the 11.9° of hysteresis, there was no noticeable impact to teleoperation as the instrument was used to successfully perform suturing with the da Vinci Research Kit. Furthermore, contact between the tools and the oral aperture during surgery is significantly lower for the 3 mm instrument when compared to current 8 mm instruments. In summary, the novel instrument has the potential to better facilitate the adoption of a robotic approach.
Revision of the Southeast Asian genus Melastoma (Melastomataceae)

The monophyletic genus Melastoma (Melastomataceae) is centred in Southeast Asia, but extends to India, South China, Japan, northern Australia, and Oceania. It comprises 22 species, two subspecies, and three varieties. Two new species, Melastoma sabahense and M. minahassae, and a new variety, M. sanguineum var. ranauensis, are described; two species are reduced to subspecies and variety, respectively, and the genus Otanthera is transferred to Melastoma. In many species, especially M. malabathricum, morphological characters vary locally, which resulted in the taxonomic recognition of numerous geographically restricted entities here considered synonyms. Most species of Melastoma are pioneers with a high dispersal capacity. This may have resulted in small, relatively isolated populations in which unique character combinations were stabilised locally.
Microstructural analysis on the testicular cyst of the wolf spider by 3D volume rendering

Spermatogenesis has long been a major research area in understanding the development of living organisms. In vertebrates, sperm is produced along the wall of the seminiferous tubules, leaving spermatogonia in the outermost layer, which undergo cell division and differentiation. However, sperm in many invertebrates is developed in a testicular cyst, which contains germ cells at the same developmental stages. On the contrary, in spiders, it is very difficult to count the exact number of cells in a cyst, since each spermatid gets transformed to a round sperm ball within the cyst through the flagellar coiling process. Therefore, in this study, we applied a 3D rendering technique to analyze the exact number of germ cells per cyst in spiders. For image processing and reconstruction, serial section images were scanned and reconstructed into 3D images. Upon successful 3‐dimensional reconstruction of testicular cysts, the exact number of germ cells produced from a single cyst appeared to be 64, 26 which indicates that a spider spermatogonium undergoes 6 cell divisions to produce spermatozoa.
EFFECT OF DRINKING WATER TEMPERATURES AND SOME DIETARY FEED ADDITIVES ON PERFORMANCE OF HEAT STRESSED RABBITS

A twelve-treatment experiment was carried out to overcome some of the negative effects of heat stress (> 30.0 °C; 6 hours a day from 12 noon to 6 p.m.) on performance of 120, 7-week-old NZW X Californian rabbits up to the 14 th week of age. The interaction between drinking water temperature (normal; NW 29-32°C or cold water; CW of 1620°C) and studied dietary feed additive [without supplementation (control), or with vitamin C (300 mg/kg diet), potassium chloride (KCl; 0.5%), copper as copper chloride (200 ppm), commercial enzymes mixture (Kemzyme; 1 kg/ton) or glycine (0.5 kg/ton)] was studied in 2 x 6 factorial arrangement. Results indicate that studied water temperatures or feed additives, on average, did not significantly affect total weight gain (WG), feed intake (FI), feed conversion ratio (FCR), rectal temperature, total edible parts (%), plasma glucose, and crude protein (CP) and energy digestibility coefficients (%). While, NW groups, on average, had significantly (P<0.05) higher hot carcass (%) and plasma cholesterol and urea than CW groups. Studied feed additives, on average, significantly affected plasma total lipids, urea and creatinine, and organic matter (OM), ether extract (EE), and crude fiber (CF) digestibility coefficients. There were significant treatment differences (P<0.05) for WG, FI, plasma glucose and urea and EE digestibility coefficients.
TRIB3 rs6037475 is a potential biomarker for predicting felodipine drug response in Chinese patients with hypertension

Background Our previous studies have found that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of tribbles homolog 3 (TRIB3) are related to the hypotensive effects of calcium-channel blockers (CCBs) and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. In this study, we aimed at exploring and validating the effect of TRIB3 polymorphism on antihypertensive drugs responses. Methods A total of 830 hypertensive patients, who were administered with open-labeled hydrochlorothiazide (12.5 mg once daily) and randomly assigned to off-labeled felodipine (5 mg) or a matched placebo combination treatment (1:1), were selected from the Felodipine Event Reduction (FEVER) study. A strategy of screening 259 samples and validating the remaining 531 samples was implemented. Four functional SNPs were selected (rs2295490, rs11470129, rs4815567 and rs6037475 in TRIB3). A mixed linear model was performed to analyze the effects of TRIB3 SNPs on antihypertensive drugs responses. Results We found that TRIB3 rs6037475 CC genotype was associated with a reduction of diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (P=6.3×10−3) in the felodipine treatment group of screening set, and was also associated with a reduction of systolic blood pressure (SBP) (P=0.021), DBP (P=6.0×10−3) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) (P=0.021) in the felodipine treatment group of the validation set. As for the reductions influenced by the rs2295490, rs11470129 and rs4815567 genetic variations, however, the adjusted P-value did not reach statistical significance. Combined screening and validation set analysis found that patients with TRIB3 rs6037475 CC genotype had a significant higher mean SBP, DBP and MAP than those with TT genotype in the felodipine treatment group (CC vs. TT −10.2±0.74 vs. −17.8±0.21, P=7.8×10−3; −4.6±0.50 vs. −10.2±0.23, P=3.0×10−4; −6.5±0.54 vs. −12.7±0.14, P=3.0×10−4, respectively). Conclusions These results suggest that TRIB3 rs6037475 genetic variation can be useful as a bio-marker for predicting felodipine drug response in Chinese patients with hypertension.
Structural and Process Quality in Early Childhood Education and Care Provisions in Poland and the Netherlands: A Cross-National Study Using Cluster Analysis

ABSTRACT This cross-national study involved 56 toddler classrooms in Poland and the Netherlands. A cluster analysis was conducted to identify classroom profiles based on observed quality and these were compared regarding structural (group size and children-to-teacher ratio) and curriculum (e.g. pre-academics and pretend play) characteristics. In total, 224 video clips were evaluated with the CLASS Toddler and 130 teachers reported on structural and curriculum aspects. Research Findings: The findings for both countries showed moderate to high emotional support and low to moderate support for learning; the pattern of self-reported provision of activities was shaped alike. Three quality profiles were distinguished: i) high positive climate and support for learning, ii) overall low quality, iii) high emotional and low educational support. Overall, favorable structural conditions and a balanced curriculum including a broad range of activities were associated with highest process quality. Practice or Policy: A variety of different activities and high levels of developmentally stimulating interactions in an overall positive and warm classroom climate can support toddlers’ broad development and learning. Professional development and a center’s pedagogical policy and vision can play an important role in improving quality and implementing age-appropriate play and activities when an official curriculum is lacking.
A General Frequency-Domain Model of Trailing-Edge and Leading-Edge Carrier PWM dc–dc Converter Based on Hybrid Continuous and Discrete-Time Descriptions

This article proposes a general frequency-domain model to reflect the effect of trailing-edge and leading-edge carrier on the stability of the pulsewidth modulation (PWM) dc–dc converter. The state vector in the general state-space averaging (SSA) model is considered as the sampled value of the actual state vector rather than the average value. In this way, the continuous and discrete-time descriptions can be used together to maintain a balance between accuracy and simplicity. In the proposed model, the main circuit and controller are described by a continuous model with the same equations as the existing SSA model. Therefore, the simple structure of the continuous model is inherited. The PWM carrier comparison component is described by a discrete-time model (DTM), which can accurately reflect the effects of PWM carrier and state vector ripple. Thus, the high accuracy of DTM is maintained as well. In order to show the advantages of the proposed model, the comparison between the proposed model and other existing models is made. Compared with the SSA model and the discrete average model, the proposed hybrid model is more accurate. Compared to the DTM, the proposed hybrid model is more convenient to use. Simulation and experiment results verify the above analyses and advantages.
Conflicts between humans and wild animals in and surrounding protected area (Bahia, Brazil): an ethnozoological approach

Conflicts between humans and wildlife have been considered a huge obstacle to the management and conservation of fauna, and also lead to negative impacts for local populations. For this reason, from an ethnozoological perspective, the present work aimed to identify and analyze conflicts between farmers and the wild fauna in four communities of the Costa de Itacaré­Serra Grande Environmental Protection Area, Bahia, Brazil, as well as diagnose the control measures used. The participants were selected using the snowball technique and data were collected using semi­structured interviews, complemented by free listing techniques, nonspecific prompting, and reading back. Thirty­eight farmers were interviewed and they reported 45 species of wild animals, among which 23 were mammals, 17 were birds and 5 were reptiles. Conflicts were classified into five categories. Of these categories, animal­cultivation and animal­livestock interactions had the highest number of reported species. The farmers applied different control measures, including defensive methods, which are the most frequently used in the communities, offensive methods, and superstitious rituals. Positive interactions were also identified, in which some species are considered charismatic or recognized for their ecological role. Conflicts with wild fauna are recurrent in these communities; thus, it is necessary to guarantee social participation in the construction of effective strategies for conflict mitigation and fauna conservation.
PHARMACOECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS AND QUALITY OF LIFE ASSESSMENT IN HEPATITIS C PATIENTS

Background: Gradual liver damage occurs due to hepatitis C virus (HCV) that may result in liver fibrosis and even cancer. Pakistan is a developing country with the second highest prevalence 4.5-8% of hepatitis C. The main purpose of this study was to estimate the quality of life of people affected with hepatitis, to create general awareness about the disease and to determine pharmacoeconomic considerations of hepatitis C treatment. Methods: It was a cross-sectional study conducted in village Wali Pur Bura of District Nankana sahib, Punjab, Pakistan. Sample size determined by Daniels equation was 100, both male and female participants were included this study. The data was collected to assess the health status data of study population through validated questionnaire and a urdu version of tool EuroQol 5D-5L, comprising of five (5) questions covering the various aspects of health. Data were analyzed through SPSS version 16. Paired sample statistics for comparing two attributes of the study and frequencies were calculated. Results: In current study, majority (70 %) of patients were belong to the lower class and only 39% patients were aware of Punjab Government's participation in hepatitis free treatment plan. 60% patients showed marked reduction in quality of life and the reason behind was painful interferon therapy. Poor quality of life is observed due to the extra hepatic symptoms of HCV including depression. According to the health scale of 60 participants out of 100 was having below Average health status, 21 participants possessed Average Health while 19 participants had Excellent Health. Conclusion: Hence, concluded that due to hepatitis C, health as well as socioeconomic and family life is badly affected. Majority of the participants were having poor quality of life. Costly treatment is beyond the reach of majority of rural population that increases the incidence of depression among patients and their families.
The Shift from Consumers to Prosumers: Susceptibility of Young Adults to Radicalization

This article examines the radicalization of young adults in relation to internet access and the social media content produced and managed by radical groups in Indonesia. Some of the research problems that become the major concern of this article were how young people respond to the internet and social media that provide radical content, how they find out about and access the content, what their purposes are for accessing radical content, and what they do with the radical content. The data discussed in this article were obtained from surveys and interviews with 700 students from seven state universities in Indonesia who were allegedly exposed to radicalism, according to the National Agency for Combating Terrorism (BNPT). The state universities that became research locations were the University of Indonesia (UI), Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB), Bogor Agriculture University (IPB), Diponegoro University (Undip), the Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology (ITS), Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR), and the University of Brawijaya (UB). This study revealed that in addition to accessing and consuming various radical content, some students also acted as prosumers. That is, they did not only read, but also produced information related to radicalization, and then recirculated it via social media.
MOLECULAR GENETIC CHARACTERIZATION OF PUNGANUR CATTLE

Eleven dinucleotide microsatellite markers were used for characterization of Punganur cattle by multiplexing. The mean genomic DNA in blood was 4.338 mg/ml and the mean optical absorbance ratio (OD 260 nm/280 nm) was 1.803. All the 11 markers studied were polymorphic with the number of alleles ranging from 4 to 9 and the mean number of alleles per locus was 6.0. The mean observed and expected heterozygosities were 0.684 and 0.666, respectively, while the mean PIC was 0.628. The marker TGLA 122 was found to be most polymorphic with a PIC estimate of 0.809, while the marker ETH 225 was the least polymorphic with a PIC value of 0.308. The overall mean coefficient of inbreeding was –0.001 and the Punganur cattle population studied was found to be under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
