Nexus Of Liquidity Management And Corporate Business Failures In Non –Financial Sectors’ A Case Of Nigeria

This paper examined the imperativeness of liquidity management – a key survival strategy of listed companies on the Nigeria Stock Exchange Markets and retrospectively assessed the salient variables on delisted corporate firms in Nigeria. Data were randomly collected from ten companies each from 114 listed and 82 delisted companies on the Nigeria stock exchange market records from January 2016 to 31st December, 2018 - healthy listed companies and 2006 -2008 for delisted records of failed companies. In all, twenty companies were analysed with two-tailed test using a significance level of 0.05 to test the possibility of the relationships, The existence of a positive relationship between liquidity management and profitability of corporate firms in Nigeria were established as the result of the study showed that adequate liquidity management spurs rapid cash growth, effective operating activities and profit making propensity of corporate healthy businesses which invariably were lacking in the delisted companies and resulted into eventual failure. Also, a higher cash flow from operations reduce the chance of a firm growing resulting into eventual liquidation. Cash flow from investing activities is however seen as a factor that exert a positive influence generally on corporate businesses in Nigeria. The study concluded that ill management of business liquidity is the major cause of failure of corporate businesses in developing economy and as such cash flow from operations, investments and financing activities of a firm should be adequately monitored by the company managers, investors, creditors and suppliers and even the government to forestall financial distress of companies in developing economy.
Job Loss, Credit and Crime in Colombia

We investigate the effects of job displacement, as a result of mass layoffs, on criminal arrests using a matched employer-employee crime dataset from Medellín, Colombia. Job displacement leads to immediate and persistent earnings losses and higher probability of arrest for both the displaced worker and family members. Leveraging a banking policy reform, we find that greater access to credit attenuates the criminal response to job loss. Impacts on arrests are pronounced for property crimes and among younger men for whom opportunities in criminal enterprises are prevalent. Taken together, our results are consistent with economic incentives contributing to criminal participation decisions after job losses. (JEL G21, G51, J63, K42, O16, O17)
De la detección precoz a la atención temprana: estrategias de intervención a partir del cribado prospectivo

La detección temprana de los trastornos del espec­ tro autista (TEA) ha resultado un tema de creciente relevancia, ya que se asumen importantes benefi­ cios para las personas con TEA, sus familias y para la sociedad en general. Pero ha sido en los últimos 10 años cuando el interés por la detección precoz ha aumentado mucho más, coincidiendo con el in­ cremento en los datos de prevalencia, que ha lleva­ do a considerar los TEA trastornos mucho más co­ munes de lo que se creía anteriormente. Además, el aumento de las expectativas sobre la capacidad de los actuales métodos de intervención temprana pa­ ra mejorar el desarrollo y la calidad de vida de la persona ha contribuido a sostener la idea de que, cuanto antes se detecte el problema, mejores resul­ tados se obtendrán con el tratamiento. Sin embargo, aunque la mayoría de los estudios de cribado en la última década están proporcionan­ do resultados prometedores, hay muy pocas expe­ riencias europeas de carácter poblacional, sobre to­ do porque los instrumentos de detección publica­ dos hasta la fecha se han diseñado generalmente para responder a la realidad de un contexto asisten­ cial específico (salud, educación, etc.). Esto hace di­ fícil la proliferación de experiencias, en especial si hay diferencias culturales significativas en el mode­ lo de servicios respecto al contexto donde se desa­ rrolló originariamente. Los argumentos más utilizados contra el cribado universal se centran en las cualidades psicométricas de las herramientas de cribado actuales y en los re­ sultados del tratamiento alcanzados por los progra­ mas de intervención temprana. Estos argumentos se han resumido en diversos trabajos [1,2], en los que se destaca que no hay instrumentos con las propie­ dades necesarias como para asegurar la detección eficiente, ya que existe un grave riesgo de identifi­ car a algunos niños como posibles casos sin pade­ cer TEA (falsos positivos), lo que sería un desperdi­ cio de recursos, y también riesgo de perder casos, es decir, niños con TEA a los que se les diagnostica la enfermedad a una edad más avanzada (falsos ne­ gativos). También se arguye que en la actualidad no existen técnicas de intervención con garantías de conseguir suficientes resultados positivos. Este últi­ mo argumento es difícil de sostener hoy, ya que los estudios afirman que todos los procedimientos sis­ temáticos de intervención temprana iniciados antes De la detección precoz a la atención temprana: estrategias de intervención a partir del cribado prospectivo
Implementation of criteria for automatic release of clinical chemistry test results in a laboratory at an academic public hospital

Introduction: Autoverification is the release of laboratory test results from clinical instruments to hospital interface, or to patients' records, with no human intervention. Verification rules are inserted in the middleware and/or in the laboratory information system (LIS), based on criteria established by the laboratory. As a result, it ensures that every result is consistently reviewed in the same way, improving the entire verification process and patient safety. Objective: Describe the implementation of autoverification of clinical chemistry tests results at the core laboratory of Hospital das Clinicas da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (HC/UFMG), Brazil. Material and methods: Twenty-six automated chemistry assays were chosen. They were fully automated including internal quality control, interfaced with LIS, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Rules were set up in the middleware and in the LIS. Instrument flags, evaluation of sample integrity, test linearity, delta check and critical values were used to construct the verification algorithms. Results: An autoverification algorithm was constructed; delta check values were calculated and defined, as well as automatic verification ranges. The results retained for manual verification followed a flowchart prepared for this purpose. Conclusion: Autoverification implementation led to a more consistent reviewing process of test results, efficiency and improved patient safety.

Is There Moral Hazard in Islamic Rural Bank Financing?

The credit market was identical to asymmetric information in it, both conventional and sharia credit markets. One of the forms of this asymmetric information was moral hazard. This study aimed to identify the existence of moral hazard in credit market (financing) by comparing the customer conditions in islamic rural bank and conventional rural bank. This study also intended to identify the factors influencing the moral hazard. The analysis used was logistic regression method. The result showed that islamic rural bank had a bigger potential to experience moral hazard compared to the conventional customers. Generally, the factors which influence the moral hazard such as age, business conditions, amount of financing, length of financing, and type of bank.
Life Experiences of Abused Elderly in Geriatric Care in Iasi, Romania. A Qualitative Study

This qualitative study focused on the life experiences of abused elderly in geriatric care in a Iasi hospital, in Romania. A total of 13 (9 women and 4 men) patients were involved in a complimentary, multidisciplinary psycho-social service after been screened for abuse using EASI © (Yaffe et al., 2008). Through thematic network analysis, the texts from the interviews revealed three global themes: 1) the abuse undermines the dignity, 2) the need to find meaning to the lived experience and, 3) the strategies of maintaining dignity. This is the first qualitative study of hospitalized elderly having an experience of abuse in Romania.
Operative treatment of displaced intraarticular fractures of the calcaneus

As technology in imaging has improved, we have learned more of the anatomical features of these fractures, and now several objective studies in the literature with sufficient follow up recommend surgical treatment for some displaced intraarticular fractures of the calcaneus. The purpose of this study is to report the results of the open reduction with rigid internal fixation for displaced intraarticular fractures of the calcaneus. From March 1994 to December 1996, the author managed twenty-nine displaced intraarticular fractures of the calcaneus in twenty-three patients with open reduction via extended lateral approach and internal fixation using the plate. The fractures were classified according to Essex-Lopresti with the lateral radiograph and according to Sanders with the computed tomograph. Clinical results were assessed the pain, activity, return to work, range of motion, change in shoe size and swelling from Creighton-Nebraska health foundation assessment. Among the 29 cases, satisfactory results were obtained in 24 cases(82.9%). We assessed the radiologic objective parameters such as B . angle, crucial angle, height and width of the calcaneus, and the arthritis of the subtalar joint. Radiologically, we showed satisfactory restoration of the calcaneal morphology and severe subtalar arthritis in 4 cases. We found the negative correlation between the clinical results and the radiological subtalar arthritis(P=0.038). ※통신저자 : 최용수
Forecasting the Total Balance Sent to Debt Collection

Credit cards have long been a popular form of payment method and the usage is growing worldwide. Credit card companies must constantly assess the risk of money lending and one way to measure risk in conjunction with credit card spending is to track the number of debt collection cases over time. Accurate predictions of the number of customers sent to debt collection in the future is therefore of great interest to credit card companies. The aim of this thesis was to forecast the total balance sent to debt collection each month for the year 2019 based on historical data provided by SpareBank 1 Kredittkort AS in the time period July 2017 to September 2018. Additionally, we aimed to determine factors that make some costumers more prone to delinquency in general. The data provided was longitudinal with repeated measurements each month for more than 500 000 credit card customers in Norway. A mixed effects logistic regression model was made and used as a classifier to determine whether a customer is sent to debt collection in a given month. The model was then used to classify and count the number of debt collection cases in a month. Multiplying with the average amount a customer owes gave predictions for total balance sent to debt collection each month. The data was highly imbalanced since most customers are not sent to debt collection. We used random undersampling as well as a method to adjust the outputs of the classifier. The model forecasted an increase in the total balance sent to debt collection for the year 2019. A possible improvement of the model would be to collect additional personal information about each customer that could possibly explain why some customers are more prone to delinquency. These may include a customer’s monthly income, other types of unsecured debt and marital status.

The Role of Family Ownership in Survival and Bouncing Back

The latest global economic and financial crisis has been a litmus test for companies, especially for SMEs. These companies have had to demonstrate their ability to be resilient, surviving first and then recovering. This chapter studies the role of family ownership in the survival and recovery of SMEs during a stressful event. From a perspective based on the complementarity or substitutability of goals that family firms pursue, the authors propose that family ownership has a positive effect on survival but a negative effect on recovery. Furthermore, they propose that the risk of bankruptcy before a crisis moderates the relationship between family ownership and survival. Hypotheses have been tested with a dataset of 3,133 Spanish manufacturing MEs finding evidence for the positive role of family ownership in survival and for the moderating effect of previous bankruptcy risk. The empirical data confirms good news for family-owned firms.
A Review of the Literature on Employee Turnover

The issue of staff turnover has been the subject of growing interest in many organizations around the world. Indeed, it turns out that a significant part of these organizations were forced, at a certain stage of their development, to raise the issue. In this respect, organizations should be alerted to the rate of voluntary staff turnover because of the negative impacts it could have on the performance of their activities. The purpose of this article is to carry out a literature review on the various theoretical factors and trends that explain the phenomenon of voluntary turnover.
Implementation of Agile Manufacturing for Thai’s SMEs

This paper purposes to explore the readiness of SMEs which can adopt agile manufacturing in Thailand. It needs to improve strategies for being agile based on the Agile manufacturing. The research method includes two main parts, documentary research, was used to understand agility in theories, and the survey which includes online questionnaire and semi-structured interview, was used to carry out the results in SMEs to implement agile manufacturing regarding three propositions, including identifying agility drivers, agility providers and to improve strategies for being agile respectively. Then, this dissertation aims to discuss and criticise the similarity and the gap between theories or case studies, which are mostly exemplified by the big companies’ cases, and the results obtained by the survey, which provided in the area of SMEs. The key results for the proposition one show that external pressures, such as customer expectations and time-based competitions were driving SMEs to necessarily adopt agility, whilst less a focus for internal pressures was determined. The summary for the proposition two is SMEs tend to have innovation, high-educated people and flat structure as competitive agility providers, based on the framework, whilst technology utilisation was less important due to top management’s point of view and financial resources limitation.Finally, the third proposition was examined and found that SMEs might develop possible strategies for adopting agile manufacturing, based on the findings, that leadership and employees’ attitude of changes acceptance should be firstly brought by motivation. Then, several recommendations will be stated respectively.

Prevention of Radiation-Induced Diarrhea With the Use of VSL#3, a New High-Potency Probiotic Preparation

therapy might have promoted the development of endocar-ditis. The time that elapsed between the upper endoscopyand the onset of fever (about 1 month) is also compatiblewith a typical incubation of a subacute endocarditis. Guide-lines for prophylaxis in infectious endocarditis recommendantibiotic treatment before endoscopic procedures associ-ated with high rates of bacteremia (esophageal dilation,variceal sclerotherapy, and laser therapy) in all patients, butalso before therapeutic ERCP and percutaneous endoscopicgastrostomy in patients with lesions susceptible to endocar-ditis (heart valve diseases) (5). On the other hand, somestudies have demonstrated that antibiotic prophylaxis canreduce the incidence of bacteremia, but it does not seem toprevent infectious postendoscopic endocarditis (6). Wewould recommend prophylactic therapy in all immune de-ﬁcient patients with susceptible conditions even if theyundergo low-risk endoscopic procedures. We hope that thisprophylactic management can prevent infectious endocar-ditis, which is a potentially life-threatening disease.Massimo MontaltoMicaela La ReginaPatrizia GemelliRaffaele MannaGiovanni GasbarriniInstitute of Internal Medicine,Catholic University,Rome, Italy
Conceptualizing and developing behavioral HIV prevention interventions for black gay men

ABSTRACT In the United States, Black gay men continue to be disproportionately affected by HIV and their HIV incidence rates rival those of developing countries. Yet there are only two federally approved HIV prevention interventions that specifically target Black gay men. As a way of filling the gap, HIV/AIDS social workers can modify existing or develop “homegrown” behavioral HIV prevention interventions to assist their clients. This conceptual article outlines the authors’ eight-step process of developing a theory-based, gender- and culturally-appropriate behavioral intervention for Black gay men. This model can help social workers and agencies fill the need for “homegrown” HIV prevention interventions.
Governance Effects of Corporate Bond Market Microstructure

I find that bond issuing entities reduce acquisition activity by approximately 22% following an exogenous increase in bond market exit threat. The treatment effect is less pronounced when an issuer is a reference entity in the CDS market and when bank monitoring is higher. The effect is more pronounced when the investment opportunities are higher, for firms with a greater short-selling threat, and for speculative-grade issuers. These findings suggest that bond market exit threat disciplines corporate risk-taking. Treatment firms do not change capital expenditures and R&D expenditures, implying that bond market disciplining is less effective when corporate risk-taking is less visible. However, treatment firms reduce shareholder payout and increase precautionary cash holdings. Collectively, the findings imply that the secondary corporate bond market influences issuing firms’ real decisions.

Who Transfers and Where Do They Go? Community College Students in Florida. Working Paper 126.

This paper utilizes a comprehensive longitudinal dataset containing a census of every public high school student in Florida to describe twoto four-year college transfer patterns. Our main finding is the significant degree to which community college transfer students are sensitive to distance: relative to recent high school graduates, community college transfer students are considerably less likely to choose a four-year institution located far away. In addition, students who attend a two-year college located far from any four-year institutions are less likely to transfer at all. This sensitivity is important given that for many community college transfer students, the nearest four-year institution is characterized by low instructional expenditures and graduation rates.
