Appraisal of the historical impact of neglected, modernised small-scale architectural objects by Rudolf Frič
Authors: Kiaček Matúš
Published: March 2024

The context of interwar period Czechoslovakia lacks a formal on both the personality and built artefacts on the often overlooked Bratislava builder, Rudolf Frič. Small-scale architecture tends to be undervalued because of its size, utility, multiplicity, or related momentariness, and because of the automatic consideration of its banality. This paper aims to analyse their architectural qualities presented in concrete typologies and realisations. Tram shelters, gas stations, mausoleums, and small detached houses are thus researched. Their architectural values, both in construction and in form, are identified and clarified. On the other hand, it is noted that the scale and ephemerality conditioned by the utility character are the crucial reasons for their undervaluation. This is especially the case of traffic buildings, where the same dynamic that initiated their origin also resulted in their end, as they become obsolete rather soon. Some of these projects by Frič such as: Rybáček House, Polák Tram stop, the Zikmund Brothers’ gas station, as well as the Frič family tomb, are confronted with other relevant realisations, prove that small-scale architectural objects and peripheral typologies have the architectural qualities for which they would deserve the public and professional interest. Moreover, these objects reflect their variety, being situated in diverse urban situations, from the architecturally and historically intact city centre, through to newly urbanised dwelling area, urban periphery up to a provincial town. Additionally, they illustrate the asymmetric position of the Slovak situation compared to the Czech one, particularly in transport architecture. The presented works characterise the style of Frič based on the high-quality craftsmanship details rather than explicit architectural forms. This transfer of new typologies and structural forms with partial urban impacts, underscores the neglected and crucial contribution to architecture by Frič.
How the COVID-19 shock influenced companies listed on the WSE and how they managed their liquidity
Authors: Czajkowska Agnieszka , Bolek Monika , Pluskota Anna
Published: March 2024

The aim of the article is to analyze the liquidity of non-financial companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The article addresses the liquidity of the examined group against the background of the entire market and its relationship with debt, profitability, growth and the risk of bankruptcy, including in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The article examines the assertion that COVID-19 influenced the practice of aggressive liquidity management in terms of indebtedness, profitability, value creation, and risk of bankruptcy. The research revealed that public companies behaved differently than the entire sector by pursuing an aggressive management policy and that the pandemic caused an even greater decrease in the static liquidity ratios while cash conversion cycle (CCC) increased. In addition, the decline in EPS growth and the increase in Z-Score during the pandemic could mean that enterprises focused on reducing the risk of bankruptcy rather than maximizing value during the pandemic shock. Before the pandemic, CCC influenced DER, and during the pandemic, static indicators began to play a more important role in the financial strategies of the surveyed companies. The research results add to liquidity theory and its impact on shaping financial strategy, especially during a financial crisis. In addition, an analysis of the impact of liquidity on earnings per share (EPS) growth and Z-Score was conducted. They represent the creation of value and the assessment of the risk of bankruptcy, making this paper particularly insightful. The results obtained provide valuable guidance to decision-makers managing liquidity and debt in corporate finance.

Authors: Rita Maria Rio , Supramono  , Dayamanti Theresia Woro , Nastiti Pambayun Kinasih Yekti
Published: March 2024

This study aims to investigate the effects of financial bootstrapping and government support on working capital, as well as the moderating role of entrepreneurial orientation towards the impact of working capital on financial performance. The study was conducted on 260 MSME owners in the food and beverage sector in Semarang, Surakarta, and Salatiga, in Central Java Province, Indonesia. By using a Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis, the determinant effects and consequences of working capital were determined. The findings of this study indicate that financial bootstrapping and government support are proven to have a significant positive effect on working capital. Working capital has a significant positive effect on financial performance, but entrepreneurial orientation is not confirmed to moderate the effect of working capital on financial performance.
Overconfidence in Financial Literacy: Implications for Planners
Authors: de Zwaan Laura , Lee Chrisann , Liu Yulin , Chardon Toni
Published: March 2024

Financial literacy of clients is an important consideration for financial planners as it has implications for determining financial capacity. Likewise, overconfidence is also an important concern, given that overconfident clients may indicate they understand advice when in reality they do not. Using an online survey, we gathered data on subjective and objective levels of financial literacy from a sample of university students. We then examined the associations between self-assessed and actual levels of financial literacy with the aim of identifying overconfidence. We find, generally, respondents do not overestimate their financial literacy; however, respondents with English as a second language were significantly more overconfident than other demographic groups. These findings can help planners in identifying clients who may be overconfident in their own financial literacy.
Equity Holdings of Australian Baby Boomers-Comparing Life Cycle Phases
Authors: West Tracey
Published: March 2024

This study aims to quantify the role of equity holdings in the asset portfolios of baby boomers over the accumulation and consolidation life cycle phases, and characteristics of baby boomer households that hold equities. The results did not confirm the hypothesis that baby boomer households have increased direct equity ownership in the consolidation phase and it is likely that the global financial crisis (GFC) reduced baby boomer household investment in equities. It may be of comfort to policy makers that baby boomer households are not at peak levels of equity market volatility exposure in this important pre-retirement consolidation phase.
Financial Attitude, Knowledge, Investment Behaviour and Satisfaction Among the Clients of Comprehensive Financial Planning Services
Authors: Baek H. Young , Kim Doseong , Oh Jong
Published: March 2024

We investigate whether and how financial planning (FP) services affect the clients’ financial behaviour and satisfaction through the changes in financial attitude and knowledge. Our sample includes 216 clients for whom an independent FP firm performed all six steps of comprehensive FP from April 2012 to February 2015 in Korea. Our results indicate that attitude towards FP, financial knowledge, and satisfaction improved after FP services were completed. Additionally, clients reduced discretionary expenses and increased savings and investments by almost 20 per cent of median income. Positive behavioural changes are attributed to the changes in financial attitudes, but not to the changes in financial knowledge, which are instead related to client satisfaction. Our results support the role of independent financial planners in improving the clients’ financial behaviour and satisfaction, which can lead to a sustainable relationship between FP professionals and their clients.
Learning to Produce a Financial Plan: Student Perceptions of Integrating Knowledge and Skills
Authors: Cull Michelle
Published: March 2024

Tertiary education can play an essential role in ensuring that financial planners are professionally equipped to develop strategies and solutions that holistically address a client’s circumstances and needs. Survey findings of undergraduate university students in this study reveal differing perceptions of learning the high-level skill of developing strategies and solutions within the process of Personal Financial Planning (PFP). Such differences are found to be associated with demographic groupings of age, gender, first language, home country and work experience. The findings suggest that financial planning programs offered by higher education institutions need to be designed to promote and assess deep learning through cohesive curriculum, practical modelling and work experience opportunities. The study also suggests that there is a need for additional research into the relationship between student perceptions and student performance in assessment tasks requiring students to produce a financial plan.
Career Outcomes of Financial Planning Students
Authors: West Tracey , Johnson Di , Webb Anna
Published: March 2024

In a competitive job market, a traditional university qualification that delivers technical knowledge, in itself, does not guarantee graduate employment (Crebert, et al. 2004). This study sought to determine which personal characteristics, skills and attributes lead to successful employment after graduating from financial planning degrees across Australian financial institutions. We find that education providers can do more to develop a number of skills, including interpersonal communication, negotiating, marketing and being a team player, and that there may be gender differences in role preferences and pathways into a financial planning career. This study found that both students and employers are seeking more professional awareness throughout financial planning degree programs including learning outcomes regarding interpersonal communication, teamwork and leadership, analytical skills, presentation skills, enterprising skills such as developing business plans and marketing, as well as more mentoring programs and internships to develop more generic skills in graduates to help meet employers’ high expectations. This study also suggests that students’ work expectations could be better managed regarding entry pathway options, but also presents an optimistic outlook for existing students preparing for a career in financial planning.
Predicting Financial Risk Tolerance and Risk-Taking Behaviour: A Comparison of Questionnaires and Tests
Authors: Grable John E. , Hubble Amy , Kruger Michelle , Visbal Melissa
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this study was to compare and contrast the concurrent, convergent, and predictive validity of a variety of risk tolerance tests and questionnaires. The tested measures represent tests and scales derived from economic and psychometric theory. It was determined that tests based on economic theory had similar predictive power, implying that economic measures provided some degree of convergent validity across measures. Only the psychometric risk tolerance measure, however, was found to be correlated to other indicators of risk tolerance and risk-taking. Results from this exploratory study suggest that a questionnaire developed using psychometric theory appears to offer superior predictive insight into financial risk-taking, at least when compared across the measurement techniques examined in this study.

Authors: Tanrikulu Lokman , Özer Gözde
Published: March 2024

The story of Hansel and Gretel, published by the German Brothers Grimm, has been translated from German to Turkish many times by many translators. In this context, our study aimed to examine the translation approaches, processes and strategies of translation works produced by different translators and in different years. The sentences forming the source text were selected at random and their equivalents were searched for in three different translation texts. Our research evaluated general translation strategies and included the similarities/differences found in the source and target translation works. As a result, it can be seen that translation strategies such as addition, rearrangement, enlargement and reduction are applied. Our study was examined according to Gideon Toury‘s goal-directed translation theory and tried to determine within the framework of adequacy and acceptability using examples.

Neural-Network-Based Model for Trailing-Edge Flap Loads in Preliminary Aircraft Design
Authors: Stephan Ralph , Heyen Cedric , Stumpf Eike , Ruhland Johannes , Breitsamter Christian
Published: March 2024

Accurately predicting the forces and moments acting on trailing-edge devices under different flight conditions is a critical aspect in the design of the kinematics and actuation for high-lift or variable-camber applications. However, accurate modeling without elaborated computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses in the subsonic and transonic regimes needs a sophisticated model. Thus, the objective of this paper is to create such a model that accurately predicts the forces and moments acting on flaps during different flight conditions while remaining applicable to the preliminary aircraft design. The target values in this model are the three-dimensional (3D) forces and moments on the flap, which were obtained through 3D CFD simulations. The chosen input values required for the model include two-dimensional airfoil data, and wing geometry data for three different aircraft types: short-, medium-, and long-range, including a high-aspect-ratio configuration. Among several potential approaches, a neural network was deemed to be the most promising for predicting the target values. The neural network was used as a regression tool to accelerate the model development process in the preliminary aircraft design. Consequently, multiple studies were conducted on how the setup of the neural network, including the number of neurons, activation functions, and initialization, influences the results. The results reveal that the developed neural network accurately predicts the flap forces and moments with a mean deviation of under 2% for the vertical force [Formula: see text] and the lateral force [Formula: see text] and under 4% for the moment [Formula: see text].
Fully Parabolized Hypersonic Sonic Boom Prediction with Real Gas and Viscous Effects
Authors: King Christian B. , Skowron Sean M. , Miller Steven A. E.
Published: March 2024

We present a methodology to predict the aerodynamic near-field and sonic boom signature from slender bodies and waveriders using a fully parabolized approach. We solve the parabolized Navier–Stokes equations, which are integrated via spatial marching in the streamwise direction. We find that unique physics must be accounted for in the hypersonic regime relative to the supersonic, which includes viscous, nonequilibrium, and real gas effects. The near-field aerodynamic pressure is propagated through the atmosphere to the ground via the waveform parameter method. To illustrate the approach, three bodies are analyzed: the Sears–Haack geometry, the HIFiRE-5, and a power-law waverider. Ambient Mach numbers range from 4 through 15. The viscous stress tensor is essential for accurate hypersonic prediction. For example, viscous effects increase near-field and sonic boom overpressure by 15.7 and 8.49%, respectively, for the Sears–Haack geometry. The difference between viscous and inviscid predictions of the near-field is due to the hypersonic boundary layer. The computational cost for predicting the near-field is approximately 6.6% relative to fully nonlinear computational fluid dynamics.
Waverider Design Using Osculating Method
Authors: Liu Chuanzhen , Bai Peng
Published: March 2024

Because of the requirements of payload capability, flight range, and maneuverability, hypersonic aircraft demand high aerodynamic performance. Waveriders have attracted significant attention because of their high lift-to-drag ratios in hypersonic states. Many methods to design waveriders have been proposed for more than 60 years, among which the osculating method features unique advantages in terms of design space, efficiency, and flexibility. Moreover, nearly all waverider design methods can be realized using this approach. This paper presents an overview of research on waverider design methodologies using osculating theory developed until 2023. The design theory and detailed implementation of the osculating cone method are first described, followed by the progress and improvement of the method and the derived osculating flowfield method. The planform-customized waverider from the osculating cone method, which has developed rapidly in recent years, is discussed emphatically. In addition, the connection between the osculating cone and other waverider design methods is plotted to show its powerful applicability. The application of the osculating waverider in practical aircraft design is also summarized. Finally, some perspectives and suggestions for future development are concluded.

Objectives:

This prospective study was performed with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images for evaluating canalis sinuosus (CS), determine its location and diameter in relation to gender, age, and distances from important structures, including floor of nasal cavity, incisive foramen, edge of buccal cortical bone, and palatal cortical bone.

Material and Methods:

The scans of 650 patients in total were included in this prospective analysis. Gender, age, the position of the CS, its presence or absence, diameter, and its location in reference to the adjacent teeth were the factors that were noted.

Results:

The study had 301 female participants and 349 male participants, with a mean age of 42.19. Compared to females, males had a statistically higher frequency of CS. Higher age groups showed a higher presence of CS in comparison to the other age groups. The mean distances of these parameters on the left and right side did not differ significantly. Nonetheless, the distance on both sides between CS and nasal cavity floor for males and females, as well as the diameter and border of buccal-palatal cortical bone on the right side, were statistically significant different. On the left side, both genders demonstrated significance in buccal cortical margin and nasal cavity floor. IIn addition, in females, the diameter of the CS on the right and left sides differed on average. The associations between age and number of CS, CS diameter, and number of CS versus sex were all extremely weak. Overall, the study findings showed that CS is a typical anatomical feature in anterior maxillary region, irrespective of age, or gender.

Conclusion:

The bony canal, CS is an obscure feature located in the frontal region of the maxilla. Surgeons can avoid complications by being aware of the auxiliary canals derived from this structure. With the use of CBCT, it is now feasible to examine the course of CS as it passes through the maxillary sinus’s anterolateral wall with better radiological accuracy has already been documented.

A 56-year-old male with a past medical history of depression presented with intentional caustic ingestion. This resulted in lactic acidosis, intubation for impending airway compromise, and ultimately to gastrectomy due to the extent of the gastric injury. Caustic ingestions cause either coagulative (acidic substance) or liquefactive (alkaline substance) necrosis. Management and treatment include observation, labs, imaging, endoscopy, and may require more urgent interventions such as intubation and vasopressors. Consider consulting the local poison control center early and GI, ENT or surgery depending on severity and types of injuries. Endoscopy is useful for prognosis, but early CT imaging may also be useful and more readily available.

An organo-photoredox catalyzed gem-difluoroallylation of both acyclic and cyclic ketone derivatives with α-trifluoromethyl alkenes has been demonstrated, thus giving access to a diverse set of gem-difluoroalkenes in moderate to high yields. Pro-aromatic dihy-droquinazolinones can be either pre-formed or in situ generated for ketone activation. This reaction is characterized by readily available starting materials, mild reaction conditions, and broad substrate scope. The feasibility of this reaction has been highlighted by the late-stage modification of several natural products and drug-like molecules as well as the antifungal activity.

Efficient Energy and Electron Transfer Photocatalysis with a Coulombic Dyad
Authors: Schmitz Matthias , Bertrams Maria-Sophie , Sell Arne C. , Glaser Felix , Kerzig Christoph
Published: March 2024

Photocatalysis holds great promise for changing the way how value-added molecules are currently prepared. However, many photocatalytic reactions suffer from lousy quantum yields, hampering the transition from lab-scale reactions to large-scale or even industrial applications. Molecular dyads can be designed such that the beneficial properties of inorganic and organic chromophores are combined, resulting in milder reaction conditions and improved quantum yields of photocatalytic reactions. We have developed a novel approach for obtaining the advantages of molecular dyads without the time- and resource-consuming synthesis of these tailored photocatalysts. Simply by mixing a cationic ruthenium complex with an anionic pyrene derivative in water a salt bichromophore is produced owing to electrostatic interactions. The long-lived organic triplet state is obtained by static and quantitative energy transfer from the preorganized ruthenium complex. We exploited this so-called Coulombic dyad for energy transfer catalysis with similar reactivity and even higher photostability compared to a molecular dyad and reference photosensitizers in several photooxygenations. In addition, it was shown that this system can also be used to maximize the quantum yield of photoredox reactions. This is due to an intrinsically higher cage escape quantum yield after photoinduced electron transfer for purely organic compounds compared to heavy atom-containing molecules. The combination of laboratory-scale as well as mechanistic irradiation experiments with detailed spectroscopic investigations provided deep mechanistic insights into this easy-to-use photocatalyst class.

Water polo is a team sport in which anaerobic capacity plays a significant role, but there is a lack of ecologically valid tests of water polo-specific anaerobic capacity. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to design and validate a method for evaluating the anaerobic capacity of water polo players. The sample of participants included 10 male junior water polo players (16.70 ± 1.06 years, 186.11 ± 6.06 cm, 81.18 ± 6.88 kg). Measurements included power output in the Wingate anaerobic test (WAnT) and the newly designed eggbeater kick anaerobic test (EKAT). WAnT included peak power (PP), average power (AP), minimal power (MP), and power drop (PD), and EKAT included the same four parameters as well as anaerobic capacity (AC). The results of this study show a significant correlation between test and retest values of power output (Pearson’s correlation: 0.63, 0.87, 0.85, and 0.90 for PP, AP, MP, and AC, respectively). T-test calculation showed no significant differences between test and retest values for EKAT. Correlation analysis between EKAT and WAnT showed no significant correlation between corresponding power outputs. In conclusion, our results suggest that EKAT has proper metric characteristics, indicating the practical applicability of this test for male water polo players. Further studies on older players and female players are warranted.

This study aimed to establish the validity and reliability of a single-beam sensor for assessment of jump performance. Thirty-four male and female university students (age: 21.47 ± 0.98 years; height: 173.97 ± 9.32 cm; weight: 70.03 ± 10.63 kg) executed three trials of countermovement jump (CMJ) and three trials of squat jump (SJ), respectively. CMJ and SJ were simultaneously recorded using a force platform (reference) and single- beam jump sensor (Jump Pro). The flight time (FT) and jump height (JH) for both jumps were utilized for analyses. Results revealed the following for FT in CMJ performance: 1) Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) with lower limit (LL) and upper limit (UL) = 0.90 (0.82, 0.94); 2) Typical error of estimate (TEE) with LL and UL = 0.03 (0.01, 0.02); 3) Bland-Altman estimate = 0.05; and 4) Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) = 0.80. On the other hand, JH in CMJ posted: 1) r = 0.96 (0.94, 0.98); 2) TEE = 2.07 (1.73, 2.62); 3) Bland-Altman estimate = 4.00; and 4) ICC = 0.71. In regards to FT in SJ, r = 0.96 (0.94, 0.98), TEE = 0.02 (0.01, 0.02), Bland-Altman estimate = 0.03, and, ICC = 0.88. Further, JH in SJ exhibited r = 0.96 (0.94 – 0.98), TEE = 1.84 (1.53, 2.32), Bland-Altman estimate = 3.55, and ICC = 0.86. These findings support Jump Pro as a valid and reliable tool for measurement of CMJ and SJ performances.

This study aimed to compare the effects of six-week volume-equated jump training using drop jump (DJ), countermovement jump (CMJ), or a combination of both (COMB) on the physical fitness of adult males. Participants were randomly assigned to DJ (n=10), CMJ (n=9), or COMB (n=10) training groups or an active control group (n=7). Performance data were collected for 10-m and 30-m sprint, DJ, CMJ, standing long jump (SLJ), triple-hop jump, change of direction speed (CODS), and maximal isometric strength. The DJ demonstrated improvements in the 10-m sprint, CMJ, and SLJ (g=0.62–1.13, %Δ=3.0–10.8). The CMJ group improved in the 10-m and 30-m sprints, CODS, CMJ and SLJ (g=0.34–1.17, %Δ=3.4–10.5). The COMB group displayed progress in CMJ and SLJ (g=0.46–0.61, %Δ=6.4–8.6). In comparison to the control and COMB groups, the DJ and CMJ groups improved the 10-m sprint (p=0.008, ηp2=0.311), and in comparison to the control group, the CMJ group improved SLJ (p=0.037, ηp2=0.220). To conclude, the findings presented here deviate from the training principle of specificity, particularly in relation to ground contact time. This suggests that the classification of jump exercises into fast- and slow-SSC categories based solely on ground contact time might oversimplify a more intricate phenomenon.
