Firm's default ? new methodological approach and preliminary evidence from Poland
Authors: Berent Tomasz , Bławat Bogusław , Dietl Marek , Krzyk Przemysław , Rejman Radosław
Published: January 2018

Research background: Bankruptcy literature is populated with scores of (econometric) models ranging from Altman?s Z-score, Ohlson?s O-score, Zmijewski?s probit model to k-nearest neighbors, classification trees, support vector machines, mathematical programming, evolutionary algorithms or neural networks, all designed to predict financial distress with highest precision. We believe corporate default is also an important research topic to be identified with the prediction accuracy only. Despite the wealth of modelling effort, a unified theory of default is yet to be proposed.

Purpose of the article: Due to the disagreement both on the definition and hence the timing of default, as well as on the measurement of prediction accuracy, the comparison (of predictive power) of various models can be seriously misleading. The purpose of the article is to argue for the shift in research focus from maximizing accuracy to the analysis of the information capacity of predictors. By doing this, we may yet come closer to understanding default itself.

Methods: We critically appraise the bankruptcy research literature for its methodological variety and empirical findings. Default definitions, sampling procedures, in and out-of-sample testing and accuracy measurement are all scrutinized. In an empirical part, we use a double stochastic Poisson process with multi-period prediction horizon and a comprehensive database of some 15,000 Polish non-listed companies to illustrate the merits of our new approach to default modelling.

Findings & Value added: In the theoretical part, we call for the construction of a single unified default forecasting platform estimated for the largest dataset of firms possible to allow testing the utility of various sources of micro, mezzo, and macro information. Our preliminary empirical evidence is encouraging. The accuracy ratio amounts to 0.92 for t = 0 and drops to 0.81 two years ahead of default. We point to the pivotal role played by the information on firm?s liquidity (alternatively in profitability) and ? in contrast to Altman?s tradition ? hardly any contribution to predictive power of other financial ratios. Macro data is shown to be critical. It adds, on average, more than 10 p.p. to accuracy ratio.  In the future, we hope to integrate listed and non-listed firms data into one model, ideally at higher frequency than annual, and include the information on firm's competitiveness position.

Uma das grandes preocupações da sociedade nos últimos anos diz respeito às alterações climáticas e suas consequências para a humanidade. A quantificação da condição de precipitação pluviométrica é fator relevante nas análises climáticas, pois o conhecimento desta variável é indispensável na compreensão do ciclo hidrológico local e controle do ciclo natural da água. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho fundamentou na avaliação da variabilidade espacial e identificação de tendência da precipitação pluvial média anual, no Agreste Meridional do Estado de Pernambuco. Avaliou-se uma série histórica dos dados de precipitação pluviométrica anual média nos 33 anos, cedidas pelo Instituto Agronômico de Pernambuco (IPA) e pela Superintendência do Desenvolvimento do Nordeste (SUDENE), correspondentes ao período de janeiro de 1984 a maio de 2017 da precipitação pluviométrica das estações meteorológicas espacialmente localizadas nas seis microrregiões do Agreste Pernambucano, formada pela união de 71 municípios. Utilizou-se o teste paramétrico por meio do método de regressão linear. Os resultados evidenciam elevada significância na variabilidade da média anual da precipitação pluvial, em todo Agreste Meridional do Estado de Pernambuco, como também apresentou elevada dependência espacial na série estudada. Os valores da precipitação média anual apresentaram tendências estatisticamente significativas, com um predomínio de tendências negativas distribuídas ao longo das regiões do Agreste pernambucano. Tomando como base as tendências observadas nas estações localizadas, nas seis microrregiões do Agreste pernambucano, na região nordeste no Brasil, conclui-se que ocorreu diminuição dos valores anuais da precipitação média anual nas seis microrregiões, formada pela união de 71 municípios.

Background and ObjectivesWater and electrolyte balance is important to maintain cognitive and physical performance, especially in hot environment. This study aims to evaluate the effects of two different type of fluid intake at the workplace in preventing dehydration among male workers working in a hot and conveniently cool environment.Methods and Study DesignThis randomized double-blinded placebo controlled trial study was performed in two appointed factories in West-Java in January-February 2012. Seventy-eight healthy male subjects, age 25-45 years were selected and they were grouped based on their working environmental temperature, i.e. hot and conveniently cool environment. The subjects were randomly allocated in two intervention phases by using crossover approach, to have non-electrolyte beverage (plain water) and electrolyte drink in the workplace for 2 days, respectively. Hydration and electrolyte biomarkers were collected from blood and urine samples at before and after the intervention.Results and Conclusions:At baseline, subjects of the hot environment workplace had higher daily working hours, hemoglobin, hematocrit, blood viscosity, and blood sodium concentration as compared to those of conveniently cool environment (P<0.05). After the intervention, for the subjects in hot environment alone, there were significantly lower value of blood viscosity, hemoglobin, and hematocrit, but significantly higher value for blood sodium, USG (urine specific gravity), pH, urinary sodium, urinary potassium and urinary chloride (P<0.05), among subjects having the electrolyte drink as compared to the plain water. In conclusion, this study confirmed that consumption of electrolyte beverage during working in hot environment temperature could help improve hydration status and electrolyte concentration.

Published: January 2018

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease. Low levels of adiponectin resulted in an increased free estrogen levels and the inability to inhibit angiogenesis and the inflammatory process resulting in the development of increasingly severe endometriosis.This study is aimed to determine the differences in serum adiponectin levels in patient with nonendometriotic cyst with endometriosis cyst and its relationship with endometriosis stages. This is an analytical comparative study with cross-sectional method in group of women with endometriotic cyst (n=25) and women with non-endometriotic cysts (n=25), performed either laparoscopic or laparotomy surgery. The serum levels of adiponectin in both groups then compared with statistical analysis.The results showed there were no significant differences (p>0,05) on the characteristics of the study subjects in terms of age (p=0.994) and BMI (p=0.27). Significant differences of adiponectin levels were found between endometriotic patient group (mean=3.91) and nonendometriotic patients group (mean=8.59). There were no significant differences of adiponectin level in stages III endometriosis (mean = 4.24) and stage IV endometriosis (mean = 3.54).It is concluded that serum adiponectin levels in patients with endometriosis is lower than patient with non-endometriotic cyst. There is no relationship between adiponectin levels with endometriosis stage. Keywords: adiponectin, endometriotic cyst, non-endometriotic cyst, endometriosis stage

Os elevados níveis de degradação ambiental impostos às regiões “periféricas” do capitalismo no seu atual estágio de desenvolvimento impõem à educação ambiental um duplo papel histórico: como ferramenta para o exercício da hegemonia por parte das frações dominantes e como instrumento de luta a ser apropriado pela classe trabalhadora em seu movimento de libertação. Nosso objetivo neste texto é, além de apresentar argumentos que sustentem a relevância da categoria marxista da “totalidade” nos processos de formação em educação ambiental crítica que visem à transformação social, discutir algumas implicações práticas que a compreensão desta categoria oferece aos processos educativos formais e não formais.

Khotbah Pengajaran Versus Khotbah Kontemporer
Authors: Rey Kevin Tonny
Published: January 2018

Khotbah merupakan bagian dari proses ibadah di gereja yang bertujuan memberikan penjelasan kepada warga gereja. Namun demikian, beberapa kotbah yang disampaikan bukannya memberikan penjelasan yang alkitabiah sebaliknya hanya memberikan pernyataan-pernyataan yang ambigu dan ambivalensi, bahkan cenderung provokatif. Khotbah yang disampaikan kiranya kembali pada pola alkitabiah, yaitu khotbah pengajaran seperti yang dilakukan Tuhan Yesus Kristus dan para rasul. Khotbah pengajaran berorientasi pada berita Alkitab yang memiliki wibawa ilahi. Khotbah pengajaran bukanlah kotbah yang memberikan banyak alasan-alasan tertentu, tetapi yang memiliki makna teologi dan aplikatif.Disisi lain, khotbah kontemporer telah diterima dengan tangan terbuka oleh beberapa gereja yang tingkat pemahaman terhadap Alkitab dan iman Kristen masih sah untuk dipertanyakan. Hal itu tidak menjadikan gereja tersebut memiliki perspektif negatif, melainkan semakin meningkatkan kesadaran teologis secara normatif; apakah khotbah yang disampaikan selama ini sudah sehat atau menjadi beban warga gereja sehingga tidak memberikan pertumbuhan spiritualitas seperti yang diharapkan. Kajian ini bersifat eksplanatif-argumentatif, tentang khotbah pengajaran versus khotbah kontemporer, sehingga pada akhirnya pembaca mampu merekonstruksi makna kotbah yang selama ini telah dihidupi dan menghidupkan dalam kehidupannya sehari-hari. Sermon is one of element in church service, which aim to explain the people of God. Nevertheless, some sermons preached not to give biblical explanation, otherwise make some ambiguous, even tend to be provocatively. Sermon presumably back to biblical pattern, that is a teaching sermon what Jesus ever did and also with the apostles. Teaching sermon is biblical oriented, which has divine authority. It is not about giving many reasons, but having theological sense and applicable. In other side, contemporary sermon has been received with hand opened by some churches which their biblical understanding is proper to be questioned. That doesn’t make the church has negative perspective, but more increases theological awareness normatively; either sermon has been preached sensely or become burden for God’s people, so they couldn’t grow up spiritually as expected. This article explains argumentatively about teaching sermon versus contemporary one, which at least the reader can reconstructing the meaning of sermon that has been lived within and living by in daily life.

A social network analysis of Canadian food insecurity policy actors
Authors: McIntyre Lynn , Jessiman-Perreault Geneviève , Mah Catherine L. , Godley Jenny
Published: January 2018

Purpose: This paper aims to: (i) visualize the networks of food insecurity policy actors in Canada, (ii) identify potential food insecurity policy entrepreneurs (i.e., individuals with voice, connections, and persistence) within these networks, and (iii) examine the political landscape for action on food insecurity as revealed by social network analysis.

Methods: A survey was administered to 93 Canadian food insecurity policy actors. They were each asked to nominate 3 individuals whom they believed to be policy entrepreneurs. Ego-centred social network maps (sociograms) were generated based on data on nominees and nominators.

Results: Seventy-two percent of the actors completed the survey; 117 unique nominations ensued. Eleven actors obtained 3 or more nominations and thus were considered policy entrepreneurs. The majority of actors nominated actors from the same province (71.5%) and with a similar approach to theirs to addressing food insecurity (54.8%). Most nominees worked in research, charitable, and other nongovernmental organizations.

Conclusions: Networks of Canadian food insecurity policy actors exist but are limited in scope and reach, with a paucity of policy entrepreneurs from political, private, or governmental jurisdictions. The networks are divided between food-based solution actors and income-based solution actors, which might impede collaboration among those with differing approaches to addressing food insecurity.

Published: January 2018

The study was conducted to ascertain the prevalence of coccidiosis in Sonali birds in Sirajgonj district of Bangladesh during the year 2015–2016. Diagnosis was made on the basis of history, clinical and post mortem findings. A total of 660 samples (sick and dead birds) were examined where 234 (35.45%) samples were found positive for coccidiosis. The highest prevalence percentage was found in July (53.33%) and the lowest percentage was found in January (16.67%). Birds aged 5 to 6 weeks showed more prevalence percentage (47.50 %), whereas older birds (> 16 weeks) found less susceptible (10%) to coccidiosis. Coccidiosis was slightly more prevalent in female (37.70%) than male (32.22%).

The feasibility of using hyperspectral imaging with convolutional neural network (CNN) to identify rice seed varieties was studied. Hyperspectral images of 4 rice seed varieties at two different spectral ranges (380–1030 nm and 874–1734 nm) were acquired. The spectral data at the ranges of 441–948 nm (Spectral range 1) and 975–1646 nm (Spectral range 2) were extracted. K nearest neighbors (KNN), support vector machine (SVM) and CNN models were built using different number of training samples (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500 and 3000). KNN, SVM and CNN models in the Spectral range 2 performed slightly better than those in the Spectral range 1. The model performances improved with the increase in the number of training samples. The improvements were not significant when the number of training samples was large. CNN model performed better than the corresponding KNN and SVM models in most cases, which indicated the effectiveness of using CNN to analyze spectral data. The results of this study showed that CNN could be adopted in spectral data analysis with promising results. More varieties of rice need to be studied in future research to extend the use of CNNs in spectral data analysis.

This paper proposes a comparison study of energy management methods for a parallel plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). Based on detailed analysis of the vehicle driveline, quadratic convex functions are presented to describe the nonlinear relationship between engine fuel-rate and battery charging power at different vehicle speed and driveline power demand. The engine-on power threshold is estimated by the simulated annealing (SA) algorithm, and the battery power command is achieved by convex optimization with target of improving fuel economy, compared with the dynamic programming (DP) based method and the charging depleting–charging sustaining (CD/CS) method. In addition, the proposed control methods are discussed at different initial battery state of charge (SOC) values to extend the application. Simulation results validate that the proposed strategy based on convex optimization can save the fuel consumption and reduce the computation burden obviously.
Towards Zero-Emission Refurbishment of Historic Buildings: A Literature Review
Authors: Loli Arian , Bertolin Chiara
Published: January 2018

Nowadays, restoration interventions that aim for minimum environmental impact are conceived for recent buildings. Greenhouse gas emissions are reduced using criteria met within a life-cycle analysis, while energy saving is achieved with cost-effective retrofitting actions that secure higher benefits in terms of comfort. However, conservation, restoration and retrofitting interventions in historic buildings do not have the same objectives as in modern buildings. Additional requirements have to be followed, such as the use of materials compatible with the original and the preservation of authenticity to ensure historic, artistic, cultural and social values over time. The paper presents a systematic review—at the intersection between environmental sustainability and conservation—of the state of the art of current methodological approaches applied in the sustainable refurbishment of historic buildings. It identifies research gaps in the field and highlights the paradox seen in the Scandinavian countries that are models in applying environmentally sustainable policies but still poor in integrating preservation issues.
A Brief Review of the Effects of Pressure on Wolframite-Type Oxides
Authors: Errandonea Daniel , Ruiz-Fuertes Javier
Published: January 2018

In this article, we review the advances that have been made on the understanding of the high-pressure (HP) structural, vibrational, and electronic properties of wolframite-type oxides since the first works in the early 1990s. Mainly tungstates, which are the best known wolframites, but also tantalates and niobates, with an isomorphic ambient-pressure wolframite structure, have been included in this review. Apart from estimating the bulk moduli of all known wolframites, the cation–oxygen bond distances and their change with pressure have been correlated with their compressibility. The composition variations of all wolframites have been employed to understand their different structural phase transitions to post-wolframite structures as a response to high pressure. The number of Raman modes and the changes in the band-gap energy have also been analyzed in the basis of these compositional differences. The reviewed results are relevant for both fundamental science and for the development of wolframites as scintillating detectors. The possible next research avenues of wolframites under compression have also been evaluated.
Use of an Integrated Research-Practice Partnership to Improve Outcomes of a Community-Based Strength-Training Program for Older Adults: Reach and Effect of Lifelong Improvements through Fitness Together (LIFT)
Authors: Wilson Meghan , Strayer Thomas , Davis Rebecca , Harden Samantha
Published: January 2018

Only 17% of older adults meet the recommendations for two days of full body strength training that is associated with improved functional fitness; reduced risk of falls; and reduced morbidity and mortality rates. Community-based interventions are recommended as they provide supportive infrastructure to reach older adults and impact strength training behaviors. Scalability and sustainability of these interventions is directly linked with setting-level buy-in. Adapting an intervention through an integrated research–practice partnership may improve individual and setting-level outcomes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the initial reach and effect of a locally adapted, health educator-led strength-training intervention; Lifelong Improvements through Fitness Together (LIFT). LIFT was compared to an evidence-based exercise program, Stay Strong; Stay Healthy (SSSH). Intervention dose and mode were the same for LIFT and SSSH, but LIFT included behavioral change strategies. Older adult functional fitness was assessed before and after the 8-week strength training intervention. Health educators who delivered LIFT and SSSH were able to reach 80 and 33 participants, respectively. Participants in LIFT were able to significantly improve in all functional fitness measures whereas SSSH participants were only able to significantly improve in 5 of the 7 functional fitness measures. In conclusion, this study provides preliminary evidence that the locally adapted program reached more individuals and had improvements in functional fitness.

Published: January 2018

Urban warfare has become one of the main forms of modern combat in the twenty-first century. The main reason why urban warfare results in hundreds of casualties is that the situational information of the combatant is insufficient. Accessing information via an Augmented Reality system can elevate combatants’ situational awareness to effectively improve the efficiency of decision-making and reduce the injuries. This paper begins with the concept of Urban Warfare Augmented Reality (UWAR) and illuminates the objectives of developing UWAR, i.e., transparent battlefield, intuitional perception and natural interaction. Real-time outdoor registration, information presentation and natural interaction are presented as key technologies of a practical UWAR system. Then, the history and current research state of these technologies are summarized and their future developments are highlighted from three perspectives, i.e., (1) Better integration with Geographic Information System and Virtual Geographic Environment; (2) More intelligent software; (3) More powerful hardware.

Published: January 2018

The frequency and volume of Asian sand dust (ASD) (Kosa) are increasing in Japan, and it has been reported that ASD may cause adverse respiratory effects. The pulmonary toxicity of ASD has been previously analyzed in mice exposed to ASD particles by intratracheal instillation. To study the pulmonary toxicity induced by inhalation of ASD, ICR mice were exposed by inhalation to 50 or 200 mg/m3 Kanto loam powder, which resembles ASD in elemental composition and particle size, for 6 h a day over 1, 3, 6, 9, or 15 consecutive days. Histological examination revealed that Kanto loam powder induced acute inflammation in the whole lung at all the time points examined. The lesions were characterized by infiltration of neutrophils and macrophages. The intensity of the inflammatory changes in the lung and number of neutrophils in both histological lesions and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) appeared to increase over time. Immunohistochemical staining showed interleukin (IL)-6- and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-positive macrophages and a decrease in laminin positivity in the inflammatory lesions of the lung tissues. Electron microscopy revealed vacuolar degeneration in the alveolar epithelial cells close to the Kanto loam particles. The nitric oxide level in the BALF increased over time. These results suggest that inhaled Kanto loam powder may induce diffuse and acute pulmonary inflammation, which is associated with increased expression of inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress.
