The Determinants of Mergers and Acquisitions in Ghana
Authors: Kofi Nti Agyeman , Baafi Joseph Antwi , Sarkodie Eric Effah
Published: June 2022

Background: In this context of uncertainties and the unknown based on economic, financial, and health crises, one of the ways to save companies is the operations of mergers or acquisitions. But not all mergers bring the expected results. An Avalanche of literature has indicated several factors that promote the decision of mergers and acquisitions.

Purpose: This paper aimed to investigate the determinants of mergers and acquisitions of listed firms on the Ghana Stock Exchange. Specifically, the study sought to identify and examine the relationship that exists between GDP, Inflation, FDI, Stock Returns, and interest rate on the mergers and acquisitions of listed firms, well as evaluate the failures of mergers and acquisitions in the country.

Methodology: The study used an explanatory research design. The population for the study was all mergers and acquisitions between 2010-2018 totaling twenty-five (25). The study used secondary data from Ghana Stock Exchange.  Using sample data spanning between 2010 and 2018, the study adopted the GMM estimation technique in its analyses.

Findings: The findings from the study revealed that indeed GDP, FDI, and interest rate exhibit a positive and significant effect on mergers and acquisitions of listed firms, whilst stock returns was found to negatively impact merges and acquisitions. Inflation rate was found not significant in the analyses of the study. The study also showed that factors such as limited or no involvement from the owners, theoretical valuation vs. the practical proposition of future benefits, lack of clarity and execution of the integration process, cultural integration issues, actual cost of a difficult integration, and high cost of recovery and negotiations errors are the major causes of the failures of mergers and acquisitions in Ghana.

Recommendation: The study recommends that the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of trade must put stringent policies to curb systematic risk, as well as create a conducive environment to promote the inflow of foreign investment into the country.
Impact of Digital Services Trade on Economic Growth of Developing, Emerging and Developed Countries: P-VAR Approach.
Authors: Mulenga Richard , Mayondi Moses
Published: June 2022

Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of digital services trade on economic growth of a panel of developing, emerging and developed countries for the period 2005- 2019. 

Methodology: Panel-Vector Auto-Regression (P-VAR) and Fixed Effects models (FE) were employed to evaluate the impact of digital services trade on a panel of 32 developing, 45 emerging and 24 developed countries respectively.

Findings: The Vector Error Correction Models (VECM) indicated that digital services exports have a significant long run positive impact on GDP in all the country panels. Specifically, a 1% increase in digital service exports increased per capita GDP by 0.88%, 0.78% and 0.34% in developed, emerging and developing countries respectively. Moreover, there was a long run causality running from digital services export models to GDP in all the three country panels. The study found that for every 1% increase in the number of people using the internet, GDP increased by 0.62%, 0.75% and 0.02% in developed, emerging and developing country panels respectively. Fixed Effects (FE) models showed that digital services trade had a significant positive impact on GDP of 0.07% only in developed countries. In terms of adjustment to a long run equilibrium, results indicated that the speed of adjustment was fastest in emerging countries panel at 0.81% followed by developing countries panel at 0.75%, and it was slowest in developed countries panel at 0.29%.These preliminary results clearly indicated that the panel of developing countries were trailing behind in digital services trade.

Recommendations: Given that developing countries panel was trailing behind in digital services trade relative to emerging and developed countries panels, it was recommended that developing countries governments and other stakeholders should increase investments in both institutional and physical digital infrastructure that would enable more people, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and those in rural areas to access and participate in digital trade related services. Access to stable, high speed and affordable internet services should be prioritized.  This study contributes to the evolving literature on digital services trade and economic growth.

Projection of Coal-Fired Power Plant (CFPP) Towards Net Zero Emission 2060 in Indonesia
Authors: Natalia Dessy , Yoesgiantoro Donny , Yusgiantoro Filda Citra
Published: June 2022

Electricity is a strategic commodity in the country and the supply of electricity is one of the factors of national energy security. The supply of electricity is carried out with various sources, fossil energy and renewable energy sources. Global politics has focused on sustainability schemes so environmental issues have become a hot issue. The environmental issue has created a long-term target, namely Net Zero Emission 2060 and has led to the need for an energy transition that was formerly oriented to fossil energy to new and renewable energy (NRE). Coal-Fired Power Plants (CFPP) contribute emissions that are not environmentally friendly so they are not suitable for this purpose. Retirement of CFPP with 2 scenarios: 1) innovation in storage technology that is more economical to replace CFPP with NRE generators, 2) innovation in Carbon Capture, Usage, and Storage (CCUS) technology. The transition in the energy sector does not only affect technology but also has impacts on other sectors. Economic and social challenges arise along with the energy transition. This paper uses a qualitative method with literature studies.

Published: June 2022

In this paper we assess the management of education services in Uganda prisons, taking a case study of Luzira Upper Prison. Specifically, this study established the kind of education services provided to inmates in Luzira Upper prison, as well as sought to establish the relationship between jail term and the type of education services offered to inmates in Luzira Upper prison. The study adopted both qualitative and quantitative approaches to gather the necessary data. With a single case study design. A questionnaire and an interview guide were used to collect data from inmates accessing education services, teachers, Prison Warders and senior prison staff purposively selected who composed the sample. (n=104) The study findings pointed to Vocational trainings, basic education in form of general subjects; creative art teaching lessons to the inmates among others. To establish whether jail term had a relationship with type of education service in Luzira Upper Prisons a correlation was computed, examined and interpreted using the Chi-Square Test. The results also pointed to a positive relationship between jail term and type of education program undertaken at Luzira Upper Prison by the inmates as indicated by (p = 0.565). This relationship is significant since the significance of 0.565 is discovered to be greater than 0.05. The study concluded that management of prison education services has a well-established curriculum with both vocational and academic courses being offered, the policy of voluntary participation to education is a major shortcoming leading to recidivism. We concluded that government needs to effectively increase finances to mitigate shortages arising from the education provision to inmates, strategically plan an expansion of the curricula to include skills targeting psycho social aspect in a restricted environment to allow complete rehabilitation after the inmate tenure. The study recommended that ministry of education and sports should not only make inmate education compulsory to all inmates but also take the leading role in adopting prison schools in on the list of community public schools in Uganda.
Oak Tree Hazard Evaluation

Published: June 2022

A practical system for evaluating hazardous landscape trees is an important element of any tree maintenance program. An evaluation system was developed in California for two species of native oaks, Quercus lobata and Quercus wislizenii. The system uses eleven separate components which can be grouped into the four larger categories of environment, structure, vigor and target. A Summary Rating (SR) is generated for each tree from component ratings using a database management computer program. The SR has been useful in prioritizing and scheduling corrective tree work. The evaluation system has now been implemented on 244 acres of oak parklands and has been adopted by other public agencies responsible for maintaining urban oaks.
Two-Dimensional Finite Element Method for Modeling Edge Effects in Cross-Ply Laminates
Authors: Numayr Karim Sualim , Almashaqbeh Hashem Khaled
Published: June 2022

A 2-dimensional finite element (FE) method, based on an approximate analytical solution, is developed to define accurately stress fields and boundary layer width in symmetrically laminated composites. A better insight into the edge effect and delamination failure of cross-ply laminates is attained through a physical explanation of the mathematical FE solution. While some other solutions failed, the present FE solution obtains accurate results using a limited number of elements, and therefore reduces computer storage and computation time. A perturbation technique is employed to derive shape functions for the free edge boundary region, which properly describes the physics of sudden exponential growth of stress field in the vicinity of the edge. An original and comprehensive FE computer program is developed, using these specific shape functions, special numerical integration, and mesh generation algorithms. Results for bidirectional laminates under uniaxial extension are presented and compared with finite difference, FE, and approximate analytical solution.

HIGHLIGHTS

Defining accurately stress field in free edge region is the main challenge

Shape functions based on perturbation solution yield accurate results

Boundary layer width is proportional to geometric ratio of laminates

Finer mesh in boundary region is required for small geometric ratio laminates

A huge number of finite elements are needed to determine narrow boundary width

Teologi Komparatif bagi Tradisi Reformed di Indonesia
Authors: Praditya Lefrandy
Published: June 2022

Teolog Reformed Benyamin Fleming Intan melakukan analisis mengenai pemikiran teolog-teolog Kristen di Indonesia dan menemukan bahwa Pancasila tidak bertentangan dengan kekristenan. Senada dengan hal tersebut, ketika menilai hubungan antara Pancasila dan Kristen, teolog muda Reformed Nathaniel Gray Sutanto memberikan kerangka epistemologis bahwa keberadaan negara Indonesia dan Pancasila telah diizinkan oleh kedaulatan Tuhan. Berdasarkan kerangka epistemologis mereka, penulis ingin melampaui mereka dengan menawarkan cara atau pendekatan baru dan lebih konkret dalam konteks multireligius, yaitu teologi komparatif. Untuk itu, penulis mengkaji pengertian dan perkembangan teologi komparatif dengan buku-buku teologi komparatif terbaru dan melihat ke dalam Alkitab dan sejarah gereja. Penelusuran tersebut menemukan bahwa teologi komparatif telah dilakukan oleh para penulis dan tokoh-tokoh dalam sejarah gereja, meski saat itu teologi komparatif belum menjadi disiplin ilmu. Penulis berpendapat bahwa teologi komparatif dapat digunakan di Indonesia dan dalam tradisi Reformed karena sifat teologi komparatif ramah terhadap kerukunan umat beragama, serta tetap setia pada kesaksian Alkitab.

Diagnosing ozone-NOx-VOC sensitivity and revealing causes of ozone increases in China based on 2013–2021 satellite retrievals
Authors: Ren Jie , Xie Shaodong
Published: June 2022

Abstract. Particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations in China have decreased significantly in recent years, but surface ozone (O3) concentrations showed upward trends at more than 71 % of air quality monitoring stations from 2015 to 2021. To reveal causes of O3 increases, O3 production sensitivity is accurately diagnosed by deriving regional threshold values of satellite tropospheric formaldehyde-to-NO2 ratio (HCHO / NO2), and O3 responses to precursors changes are evaluated by tracking volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and NOx with satellite HCHO and NO2. Results showed that the HCHO / NO2 ranges of transition from VOC-limited to NOx-limited regimes vary apparently among Chinese regions. VOC-limited regimes are widespread found over megacity clusters (North China Plain, Yangtze River Delta, and Pearl River Delta) and concentrated in developed cities (such as Chengdu, Chongqing, Xi’an, and Wuhan). NOx-limited regimes dominate most of the remaining areas. From 2013 to 2021, satellite NO2 and HCHO columns showed an annual decrease of 3.7 % and an increase of 0.1 %, respectively, indicating an effective reduction in NOx emissions but a failure reduction of VOC emissions. This finding further shows that O3 increases in major cities occur because the Clean Air Action Plan only reduces NOx emissions without effective VOC control. Two cases in Beijing and Chengdu also verified that NOx reduction alone or VOC increase leads to O3 increases. Based on the O3–NOx–VOC relationship by satellite NO2 and HCHO in Beijing, Chengdu, and Guangzhou, the ozone concentration can be substantially reduced if the reduction ratio of VOCs / NOx is between 2 : 1 and 4 : 1.
Evaluating the vegetation-atmosphere coupling strength of ORCHIDEE land surface model (v7266)

Published: June 2022

Abstract. Plant transpiration dominates terrestrial latent heat fluxes (LE) and plays a central role in regulating the water cycle and land surface energy budget. However, currently Earth system models (ESM) disagree strongly on the amount of transpiration, and thus LE, leading to large uncertainties in simulating future climate. Thus it is crucial to correctly represent the mechanisms controlling the transpiration in models. At the leaf-scale, transpiration is controlled by stomatal regulation, and at the canopy-scale, through turbulence, which is a function of canopy structure and wind. The coupling of vegetation to the atmosphere can be characterized by a coefficient Ω. A value of Ω → 0 implies a strong coupling of vegetation and the atmosphere, leaving a dominant role to stomatal conductance in regulating water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes, while Ω → 1 implies a complete decoupling of leaves from the atmosphere, that is, the transfer of H2O and CO2 is limited by aerodynamic transport. In this study, we investigated how well the land surface model ORCHIDEE (v7266), simulates the coupling of vegetation to the atmosphere by using empirical daily estimates of Ω derived from flux measurements from 106 FLUXNET sites. Our results show that ORCHIDEE generally captures the Ω in forest vegetation types (0.27±0.10) compared with observation (0.26±0.09), but underestimates Ω in grasslands and croplands (0.26±0.16 for model, 0.33±0.17 for observation). The good model performance in forests is due to compensation of biases in surface conductance (Gs) and aerodynamic conductance (Ga). Calibration of key parameters controlling the dependence of the stomatal conductance to the water vapor deficit (VPD) improves the simulated Gs, and Ω estimates in grasslands and croplands (0.30±0.21). To assess the underlying controls of Ω, we applied random forest (RF) models to both simulated and observation-based Ω. We found that large observed Ω are associated with periods of low wind speed, high temperature, low VPD and related to sites with large leaf area index (LAI) and/or short vegetation. The RF models applied to ORCHIDEE output generally agree with this pattern. However, we found the ORCHIDEE underestimated the sensitivity of Ω to VPD when VPD is high, overestimated the impact of LAI on Ω, and did not correctly simulate the temperature dependence of Ω when temperature is high. Our results highlight the importance of observational constraints on simulating the vegetation-atmosphere coupling strength, which can help improve predictive accuracy of water fluxes in Earth system models.
Classification and properties of non-idealized coastal wind profiles – an observational study

Published: June 2022

Abstract. Non-idealized wind profiles frequently occur over the Baltic Sea and are important to take into consideration for offshore wind power, as they affect not only the power production but also the loads on the structure and the behavior of the wake behind the turbine. In this observational study, we classified non-idealized profiles as the following wind profiles having negative shear in at least one part of the lidar wind profile between 28 and 300 m: low-level jets (with a local wind maximum in the profile), profiles with a local minimum and negative profiles. Using observations spanning over 3 years, we show that these non-idealized profiles are common over the Baltic Sea in late spring and summer, with a peak of 40 % relative occurrence in May. Negative profiles (in the
28–300 m layer) mostly occurred during unstable conditions, in contrast to low-level jets that primarily occurred in stable stratification. There were indications that the strong shear zone of low-level jets could cause a relative suppression of the variance for large turbulent eddies compared to the peak of the velocity spectra, in the layer below the jet core. Swell conditions were found to be favorable for the occurrence of negative profiles and profiles with a local minimum, as the waves fed energy into the surface layer, resulting in an increase in the wind speed from below.

Abstract. This work considers the characteristics and drivers of the loads experienced by wind turbine main bearings. Simplified load response models of two different hub and main-bearing configurations are presented, representative of both inverting direct-drive and four-point-mounted geared drivetrains. The influences of deterministic wind field characteristics, such as wind speed, shear, yaw offset, and veer, on the bearing load patterns are then investigated for similarity scaled 5, 7.5, and 10 MW reference wind turbine models. Main-bearing load response in cases of deterministic gusts and extreme changes in wind direction are also considered for the 5 MW model. Perhaps surprisingly, veer is identified as an important driver of main-bearing load fluctuations. Upscaling results indicate that similar behaviour holds as turbines become larger, but with mean loads and load fluctuation levels increasing at least cubically with the turbine rotor radius. Strong links between turbine control and main-bearing load response are also observed.
Teachers' TPACK and technology integration in teaching and learning: A case study in the Maldives
Authors:   , Waseela Aminath
Published: June 2022

This explanatory mixed-method study investigated Maldivian lower secondary teachers' TPACK perceptions and integration of digital technologies in their classrooms. Data gathered using surveys (n=485), interviews, and document artefacts showed that teachers had a high perception of the TPACK constructs and mostly adopted digital technologies for teacher-centred pedagogical practices of knowledge transmission that supported lower-order cognitive goals. Several contextual factors influenced their technology integration efforts. Based on the findings, a model for teachers' integration of digital technologies in teaching and learning (TIDTITL) specific to the Maldivian context was developed, which may benefit key stakeholders when implementing large-scale technology initiatives.
Modular reconfigurable field robotics
Authors:   , Cordie Troy
Published: June 2022

This thesis explored the use of modular robots in the field. This work represents a step forward in robotics with technology emerging from the laboratory into the outdoors. Innovation is demonstrated through the ability to build custom robots on demand in the field. This customisation enabled by modular-reconfigurable components allowed a single person to deploy multiple configurations rapidly. Additionally, it was demonstrated that a modular reconfigurable approach to robotics improved robustness to failure. Finally, this work demonstrated that the ability to self-reconfigure allowed a field-deployed robot to explore further.
How regulatory focus-mode fit impacts variety-seeking
Authors:   , Pham Thi Minh Thuy
Published: June 2022

This thesis investigates impacts on consumers’ variety-seeking due to fit between regulatory focus (promotion, prevention) and regulatory mode (locomotion, assessment). I analysed a field dataset of 10,547 consumers and conducted three experiments across Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Findings show that regulatory focus–mode fit decreases variety-seeking due to strengthened engagement and attitude certainty. Hence, this research introduces a new kind of regulatory fit, extending previous literature examining fit based on either regulatory focus or regulatory mode in isolation. Managers can segment consumers based on their motivations or adjust advertising messages to predict and influence variety-seeking.

The emergence of acute, severe non hepA–E hepatitis of unknown etiology (ASHUE) has attracted global concern owing to the very young age of the patients and its unknown etiology. Although this condition has been linked to several possible causes, including viral infection, drugs and/or toxin exposure, the exact cause remains unknown; this makes treatment recommendation very difficult. In this review, we summarize recent updates on the clinical manifestations, complemented with laboratory results, case numbers with the global distribution and other epidemiological characteristics, and the possible etiologies. We also provide the proposed actions that could be undertaken to control and prevent further spread of this hepatitis. Since many etiological and pathological aspects of the acute non hepA–E hepatitis remain unclear, further research is needed to minimize the severe impact of this disease.

2018 yılında Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam Üniversitesi, Tarla Bitkileri Bölümü Araştırma alanında yürütülen çalışmada organik düzenleyicilerden leonardit, solucan ve sığır gübresi kullanılmıştır. Organik düzenleyiciler 250 kg da-1, 500 kg da-1, 750 kg da-1  ve 1000 kg da-1 oranında  toprağa uygulanmıştır. Çalışmada kumlu killi tın bünyeli toprağa farklı organik düzenleyici uygulanarak toprakların nem sabiteleri ve hidrolik iletkenlik özelliklerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında deneme parsellerinden leonardit, solucan ve sığır gübresi uygulamaları öncesinde alınan toprak örnekleri 6 aylık inkübasyon sonrası incelenmiştir. Elde edilen verilere göre, toprakların  organik madde (%), tarla kapasitesi (%), hidrolik iletkenlik (cm h-1) ve yarayışlı suiçeriği (%) artan leonardit, solucan ve sığır gübresi uygulamaları ile artış göstermiştir. Ayrıca toprak değişkenleri (tarla kapasitesi, yarayışlı su, hidrolik iletkenlik ve  organik madde) ile gübre uygulamaları arasında önemli farklılıklar tespit edilmiştir (p<0.01). Topraklarda uygulama öncesi ve sonrası elde edilen veriler kıyaslandığında, leonardit, solucan ve sığır gübresi uygulamalarının olumlu yönde etkisi saptanmıştır. Bu sonuçlar, organik düzenleyicilerin içerdiği organik madde miktarı ile ilişkilendirilmiştir.
