Authors: Wu Yitian
Published: December 2024

The gap between the rich and the poor refers to the difference in the distribution of wealth between individuals and families. Wealth inequality is a serious problem in the United States, as the billionaires in the US have become even richer, while the lower earners are experiencing fewer economic opportunities and mobility. The factors that raise the wealth gap include billionaires and corporate power are intensifying inequality; slavery, immigration problems, and Japanese internment camps are increasing the wealth gap, and slavery plays a vital role. Furthermore, the richest people have the power to cut their tax rates to an extremely low level, and their children are accumulating more and more wealth. To solve the wealth inequality, there are several possible methods. Firstly, the taxes should be increased permanently for the richest 1 percent and the biggest corporations. Secondly, the governments require both a progressive taxation scheme and a revolutionary national investment in African American families and communities on the richest people in the US. Lastly, it can also be beneficial to raise the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Tax Credit (CTC) to narrow the wealth gap caused by taxation inequality.

Authors: Lv Jialin
Published: December 2024

Using the data from mutual funds in China, we analyze the impact of fund managers' personal characteristics on fund returns. Firstly, we find that if fund managers have a longer career in the securities industry, the Sharpe ratio and volatility of their fund will be lower, which means that fund managers with more experience tend to achieve higher investment returns, their investment style will be more conservative, and the fund's volatility will be lower. Secondly, we find that although the education level of fund managers does not have a significant influence on the fund returns, it has a significant impact on the volatility of fund returns, with higher-educated fund managers having lower volatility and a more conservative investment style. Thirdly, we find that the gender of fund managers does not have a significant impact on both the fund's returns and volatility. In brief, our research makes great contributions and has the ability to help investors choose better fund managers.

Authors: Barbieri Barbara , Bellini Diego , Scaratti Giuseppe , Mondo Marina , Pinna Roberta , Galletta Maura , Simone Silvia De
Published: December 2024

Traditionally, literature considers public administration as a bureaucratic institution where managers and employees must adhere to rigid structures and procedures. However, a bureaucratic organizational culture can either support employees (e.g., enabling practices) or conversely exerts control (e.g., coercive practices), thus influencing various psychosocial and organizational outcomes, including job satisfaction. Despite the well-recognized features of this bureaucratic structure, few studies have examined its dual effect on job satisfaction. A cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 414 managers in the public sector. The results of the hierarchical regression analysis revealed that enabling bureaucracy positively affects job satisfaction, while coercive bureaucracy has a significant and negative impact on job satisfaction. Furthermore, resistance to change moderates the impact of bureaucracy’s coercive aspects on job satisfaction.

Stories become relationships, networks of trust and collaboration with widespread availability that translates civic consciousness into actions, initiatives, and projects.The article’s contribution illustrates the challenges faced and the organizational processes activated with the different stakeholders involved in the system of activities considered, through a situated and conversational research-action approach (Shotter 2007), according to a dialogic research-action perspective (Shotter 2010). The results highlight the elements of social capital generated, as well as the critical issues that emerged in the work within the socio-organizational and community contexts.

Günümüzde dünya nüfusunun artışıyla birlikte kentlerde ve sanayide yüksek oranda doğal kaynak kullanılmaktadır. Bu kaynak kullanımı, beraberinde tonlarca çevresel atığın oluşmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu kirlilik, gelecek nesiller için sürdürülebilir dünyanın varlığı konusunda ciddi tehdit oluşturmaktadır. Günümüz teknolojisiyle çevresel atıkların yönetimi için derin öğrenme ve görüntü işleme tabanlı çözümleri geliştirmek mümkündür. Bu çalışmada çevresel atıklardan geri dönüşümü mümkün olanların (kağıt, plastik, metal ve cam) yerinde ve otomatik bir şekilde sınıflandırılması ve ayrıştırılması için görüntü işleme ve Raspberry Pi tabanlı akıllı çöp konteyneri prototipi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Akıllı çöp konteynerine bırakılan bir atık; i- hareket algılama sensörüyle fark edilmekte, ii- atığın fotoğrafı çekilmekte, iii- çekilen fotoğraf derin öğrenmeyle sınıflandırılmakta, iv- atığın sınıfı belirlendikten sonra adım motoru yardımıyla çöp konteynerin içindeki ilgili bölüme taşımaktadır. Bu yönüyle insan müdahalesi olamadan dönüştürülebilen çevresel atıklar yerinde ve otomatik bir şekilde ayrıştırılmaktadır. Akıllı çöp konteyneri, çevresel atıkların geri dönüşüme kazandırılması ve yönetilmesi sürecini hem maliyet hem de insan iş gücü açısından iyileştirme potansiyeline sahiptir.

Combating losses in drinking water has become one of the most essential freedoms today. With increasing water problems, the decreasing clean water resources have increased the fight against water losses in drinking water systems. In international literature, pressure management is the most important method of fighting against water loss. In this study, pressure management was applied in 4 different isolated sub-regions within the scope of water loss management. The isolated sub-regions under pressure management were selected from the networks operated by the Kayseri Water and Wastewater Administration (KASKİ) with different pressure regulation methods. The financial benefits of pressure regulation were theoretically calculated using algorithms. The algorithm's accuracy was tested by comparing the accuracy of the theoretical calculations with the actual field practice results. After analyzing the accuracy of the theoretical calculation, the costs were also calculated, and the return period of the investment was calculated by making a benefit and cost analysis.
