CURTAILING SEVERITY OF DEPRESSION DUE TO SOCIAL PRESSURE BY MEDICATION
Authors: Shah Nita H. , Pandya Purvi M. , Suthar Ankush H.
Published: February 2020

The cut-throat competition to be the best individual is coming out to be social issue in the hi-tech world. Society increases this pressure by imposing their expectation. Both these issues result into imbalance situations which results stress and depression in an individual. The life style adds more depression. The relation between depression due to social pressure and get relief from this needs medication is modelled in this research. The formulation is done with the help of system of nonlinear differential equations. The fraction (threshold) of individuals suffering from depression who needs medication is computed. The stress-free equilibrium and its stability are analysed.
DISCUSSION ON QUOTIENT BI-SPACE AND ON PAIRWISE REGULAR AND NORMAL SPACES IN BITOPOLOGICAL SPACES
Authors: Arunmaran M. , Kannan K.
Published: February 2020

In this paper, we introduce the concept “Quotient bi-space” in bitopological spaces. In addition, we investigate the results related with quotient bi-space. Moreover, we have discussed the results related with pairwise regular and normal spaces in bitopological space. For a non-empty set X, we can define two topologies (these may be same or distinct topologies) τ1 and τ2 on X. Then, the triple (X, τ1 , τ2 ) is known as bitopological space. Let (X, τ1 , τ2 ) be bitopological space, (Y, σ1 , σ2 ) be trivial bitopological space and f : (X, τ1 , τ2 ) → (Y, σ1 , σ2 ) be onto map. Then f is τ1 τ2 −continuous map. If η = {G (σ −
open set in Y ) : f ^{−1} (G) is τ1 τ2 − open in X} then η is a topology on Y . Moreover, if (Y, σ, σ) be a quotient bi-space of (X, τ1 , τ2) under f : (X, τ1 , τ2 ) → (Y, σ, σ) and g : (Y, σ, σ) → (Z, η1 , η2 ) be a map, then, gis σ − continuous if and only if g ◦ f : (X, τ1 , τ2 ) → (Z, η1 , η2 ) is τ1 τ2 −continuous. Let (X, τ1 , τ2) be bitopological space and A be τ1 τ2 − compact subset of pairwise Hausdorff space X. Then, A is τ1 τ2 − closed set. Finally, we have discussed the following : Let (X, τ1 , τ2 ) be bitopological space and τ1 τ2 −compact pairwise Hausdorff space. Then, the space (X, τ1 , τ2 ) is pairwise normal.
A CLASS OF S-STEP NON-LINEAR ITERATION SCHEME BASED ON PROJECTION METHOD FOR GAUSS METHOD
Authors: Vigneswaran R. , Kajanthan S.
Published: February 2020

Various iteration schemes are proposed by various authors to solve nonlinear equations arising in the implementation of implicit Runge-Kutta methods. In this paper, a class of s-step non-linear scheme based on projection method is proposed to accelerate the convergence rate of those linear iteration schemes. In this scheme, sequence of numerical solutions is updated after each sub-step is completed. For 2-stage Gauss method, upper bound for the spectral radius of its iteration matrix was obtained in the left half complex plane. This result is extended to 3-stage and 4-stage Gauss methods by transforming the coefficient matrix and the iteration matrix to a block diagonal form. Finally, some numerical experiments are carried out to confirm the obtained theoretical results.

L’article présente une technique d’analyse des intentions contenues dans les interventions thérapeutiques qui permet d’en mettre en évidence le contenu psychologique profond. La technique comprend un dictionnaire des intentions des interventions thérapeutiques, une classification des intentions, des marqueurs d’intention et des instructions pour son application. Une présentation des résultats d’une recherche appliquant cette technique à des sessions thérapeutiques de Carl Rogers est ensuite développée. Les résultats les plus importants de cette recherche sont la mise en évidence de la part proéminente, dans les interventions de Rogers, d’une intention tendant à favoriser l’exploration de soi, qui aide la personne à se comprendre elle-même, à établir sa relation à soi, à trouver du sens et à créer un contact plus grand avec ses ressources internes et son soi intérieur.
Un travail d’accompagnement d’un processus fragile
Authors: Lange Martín , González Cerezo María José , Leal Mauricio
Published: February 2020

Dans cet article, nous partagerons notre expérience de travail d’accompagnement d’une personne présentant une fragilité d’intégration de son expérience. Nous ferons une brève introduction théorique de ce qu’est le « processus fragile » en suivant le modèle développé par Margaret Warner. Nous présenterons ce que nous avons appris lors de l’accompagnement d’une cliente que nous appellerons Juana. Comment est-elle arrivée à consulter ? Quelles étaient ses attentes et ses craintes ? Nous verrons comme il a été important de créer l’espace et le climat nécessaires pour faciliter une relation suffisamment sécure et fiable dans laquelle elle a pu, peu à peu, commencer à explorer son expérience. Cet accompagnement ayant fait l’objet d’une supervision, nous montrerons comment et dans quelles conditions il a pu progresser, quel fut le rôle de la supervision et ce qui nous est apparu comme étant facilitateur. Finalement, nous présenterons notre compréhension de l’accompagnement des personnes qui traversent ce que nous avons appelé des « processus de vie fragiles ».
Les relations franco-chinoises, cinquante-cinq ans de faux-semblants
Authors: Dubois de Prisque Emmanuel
Published: February 2020

La reconnaissance relativement précoce de la Chine populaire en 1964 n’a guère favorisé les intérêts français dans ce pays. Face à une diplomatie chinoise qui se montre de moins en moins diplomate, l’heure est peut-être venue pour la France d’infléchir son approche diplomatique de la Chine.
Les relations politiques franco-chinoises de 1949 à 1983 : entre mythe et réalité
Authors: Liu Kaixuan
Published: February 2020

Cet article retrace l’histoire des relations politiques entre la France et la République populaire de Chine, depuis la fondation de cette dernière en 1949 jusqu’au début des années 1980. La première période entre 1949 et la reconnaissance de la Chine par la France en 1964 est marquée par les tensions de guerre froide et de décolonisation qui empêche le rapprochement des deux pays. Entre 1964 et 1976, les relations politiques franco-chinoises sont symbolisées par le geste historique du général de Gaulle, les visites de haut niveau, et les grandes déclarations d’amitié, sans que pour autant les deux pays arrivent à avancer ensemble sur les grands dossiers internationaux. Avec la politique de réforme et d’ouverture en Chine et la politique giscardienne de détente, les relations franco-chinoises perdent leur caractère exceptionnel et se tournent vers la normalisation.

Authors: Cubizol Damien , Macaire Camille , Renard Mary-Françoise
Published: February 2020

La place qu’occupe désormais la Chine dans l’économie mondiale génère des interrogations nombreuses sur la nature de ses relations avec le reste du monde, notamment l’Europe. L’objectif de ce papier est d’analyser les relations commerciales franco-chinoises, du point de vue de leur évolution mais aussi au regard des avantages comparatifs de la France. Nous présentons dans un premier temps le rôle de la Chine dans le commerce extérieur français. Nous mettons ensuite en évidence les spécificités de la France par rapport aux autres pays de l’Union européenne. Dans un troisième temps, nous nous intéressons à l’origine géographique du contenu en valeur ajoutée des biens échangés. Enfin, la politique commerciale étant définie au niveau européen, nous rappelons, dans un dernier point, comment évolue la stratégie en la matière.

Je montre ensuite comment DICE est utilisé pour calculer le coût social du carbone. Je détaille enfin un certain nombre des très nombreuses extensions du modèle qui existent à ce jour, pour mettre en évidence la puissance du cadre d’analyse, ses limites aussi, et les voies de progrès.
Subjective Well-Being and Social Comparison: A Comparative Study on Rural Thailand and Vietnam
Authors: Cuong Pham Thi Kim , Nguyen Van Phu , Nguyen-Huu Thanh Tam , Anh-Dao Tran Thi , Noukignon Kone
Published: February 2020

Cet article analyse les déterminants du bien-être subjectif des ménages en utilisant une base de données d’enquêtes auprès des ménages habitant dans les zones rurales en Thailand et Vietnam. Le bien-être subjectif des ménages correspond à leur évaluation subjective de la situation générale au moment présent comparé au passé. Nous mettons l’accent sur la comparaison sociale en prenant en compte la pauvreté relative, les conditions de vie, les risques naturels ainsi que l’attitude des ménages face aux risques. Notre étude montre un effet significatif du revenu et de la pauvreté relative. Seuls les ménages Thaïlandais sont concernés par la comparaison en termes de richesse, qui est asymétrique. Les effets des risques naturels ainsi que ceux de l’attitude des ménages face aux risques sont différents entre deux pays, alors que ceux des risques économiques sur le bien-être subjectif sont plutôt similaires.
La désectorisation des politiques de sécurité. Le cas du recentrage interministériel du Secrétariat général de la Défense et de la Sécurité nationale
Authors: Daho Grégory
Published: February 2020

Cet article vise à expliciter l’évolution de la division du travail gouvernemental en matière de sécurité nationale. En retraçant les circonstances de la résurgence du Secrétariat général de la défense et la sécurité nationale (SGDSN) au cœur du jeu interministériel de gestion des crises, il entend combler un vide entre, d’un côté, une sociologie de l’action publique délaissant le secteur de la défense et, de l’autre, des études critiques de sécurité trop peu attentives à l’analyse des processus institutionnels. Après être revenu sur le contexte marquant l’obsolescence programmée du Secrétariat général au sortir de la Guerre froide, nous proposons deux niveaux d’analyse pour expliquer ce recentrage au cœur des circuits décisionnels : le premier, organisationnel, insiste sur les tournants opérationnel, doctrinal et institutionnel qu’a connus le Secrétariat, et le second, individuel, met en avant les positions et les ressources des Secrétaires généraux.
Le Gouvernement peut-il parler d’une seule voix ? Institutionnalisation et délimitation du rôle du porte-parole du gouvernement fédéral allemand (1949-2015)
Authors: Hubé Nicolas
Published: February 2020

L’institutionnalisation d’un ministère de la parole publique en Allemagne est précoce avec la création dès 1949 d’un service de presse fédéral ( Bundespresseamt  –  BPA ) avec à sa tête le porte-parole du Gouvernement, ayant rang de secrétaire d’État et dirigeant une administration d’État en charge de la coordination de la communication publique. La forme prise par cette administration fait pourtant débat sur l’ensemble de la période. Tenu par les règles du jeu du parlementarisme allemand, le porte-parolat s’est transformé d’institution centrale d’émission de la parole de l’exécutif en instance de régulation de l’équilibre de la parole au sein de l’équipe gouvernementale.

Un déficit de pensée
Authors: Clément Philippe
Published: February 2020

Sous couvert de pragmatisme scientifique, la psychiatrie a perdu sa capacité à s’interroger sur le sens de la folie, sa dimension anthropologique. En parallèle, l’asile d’aliénés tant décrié a été remplacé par un asile aseptisé qui contribue à une déshumanisation par le biais de pratiques « protocolisées » et d’une amplification des formes de contrainte.

Psychiatrie et médico-social : folies et handicap
Authors: Parada Carlos
Published: February 2020

Pour mieux comprendre la situation actuelle de la psychiatrie et la place du réseau médico-social en son sein, cet article soulève trois enjeux : la perte de valeur du soin, les changements de représentations de la maladie mentale et le risque de maltraitance des fous. Conséquences : avec le neuro-cognitivisme, les thérapeutiques risquent d’être fragmentées en troubles. Les anciennement dits malades mentaux deviennent plus facilement des chroniques, puis une fois considérés comme des handicapés ils devraient être adressés au milieu médico-social à moindre coût et à moindre soin.
Une nouvelle « antipsychiatrie »
Authors: Dardot Pierre
Published: February 2020

Une nouvelle « antipsychiatrie » voit aujourd’hui le jour. En quoi se différencie-t-elle de l’ancienne antipsychiatrie des années 1960-1970 ? L’ancienne antipsychiatrie contestait l’institution psychiatrique centrée sur le pouvoir médical en lui opposant le rapport du patient à lui-même. L’antipsychiatrie contemporaine entend à l’inverse consacrer la maîtrise du pouvoir médical en déniant l’existence du psychique comme tel.

Published: February 2020

À partir de deux vignettes – choisies pour la diversité des publics, problématiques et modalités éducatives qu’elles engagent –, cet article tente de rendre compte de la manière dont un dispositif d’analyse de la pratique professionnelle en centre de formation en travail social contribue, à partir de l’élaboration des affects convoqués dans une relation éducative opérant sous transfert, à la construction d’une identité professionnelle et d’une posture clinique respectueuses de la singularité du sujet. Loin de la technicisation actuelle du travail social, il souligne l’efficace d’un espace d’accueil et, partant, d’élaboration, de ce que la rencontre humaine produit inéluctablement d’inouï, d’insu, d’embarras.
Android Malware Detection through Machine Learning Techniques: A Review
Authors: Christiana Abikoye Oluwakemi , Gyunka Benjamin Aruwa , Noah Akande
Published: February 2020

The open source nature of Android Operating System has attracted wider adoption of the system by multiple types of developers. This phenomenon has further fostered an exponential proliferation of devices running the Android OS into different sectors of the economy. Although this development has brought about great technological advancements and ease of doing businesses (e-commerce) and social interactions, they have however become strong mediums for the uncontrolled rising cyberattacks and espionage against business infrastructures and the individual users of these mobile devices. Different cyberattacks techniques exist but attacks through malicious applications have taken the lead aside other attack methods like social engineering. Android malware have evolved in sophistications and intelligence that they have become highly resistant to existing detection systems especially those that are signature-based. Machine learning techniques have risen to become a more competent choice for combating the kind of sophistications and novelty deployed by emerging Android malwares. The models created via machine learning methods work by first learning the existing patterns of malware behaviour and then use this knowledge to separate or identify any such similar behaviour from unknown attacks. This paper provided a comprehensive review of machine learning techniques and their applications in Android malware detection as found in contemporary literature.
An Analysis of Total Quality Management (TQM) within the Thai Auto Parts Sector
Authors: Petcharit Att , Sornsaruht Puris , Pimdee Paitoon
Published: February 2020

The study intended to investigate the factors that affect the total quality management (TQM) process in the 1,800 firm Thai auto parts industry. Automotive parts export shipments from Thailand are ranked 13th globally and are destined for over 100 countries, with Thailand’s combined automotive industry representing 12% of GDP. Therefore, with the authors understanding the importance of this economic sector, a research tool was developed, which contained a five-level scale to investigate 455 auto parts managers, executives, and owners’ opinions. Topics surveyed included the respondents’ opinions on the effects of knowledge management (KNG), product quality (QLY), strategic planning (STY), and technology and innovation (TIN) on the Thai auto part industry TQM process. The study’s eight hypotheses made use LISREL 9.1 software to analyze the final structural equation model (SEM). Results showed that all the model's variables had a positive influence on TQM, which can be combined to explain the variance of the factors affecting TQM (R2) by 78%. Additionally, the variables affecting TQM ranked in importance were STY, KNG, QLY, and TIN. Disruptive change has also arrived within the automotive sector, as Industry 4.0 technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI) are being used in the development of a new generation of autonomous and electric vehicles (EVs), making many current manufacturers' technologies and processes obsolete. Therefore, management and vendors must embrace these changes for their survival. The study's results highlight the necessity for international firms to embrace innovation and technological change to retain a competitive advantage or even their survival. Governments and educational institutions must also go the ‘extra mile' to support their domestic automotive and auto parts sectors.

Model-Based Techniques and Tools for Programming Embedded Multicore Platforms
Authors: Nedovodeev Konstantin , Sheynin Yuriy , Syschikov Alexey , Sedov Boris , Ivanova Vera , Pakharev Sergey
Published: February 2020

The chapter considers VIPE development environment with the main emphasis on its formal ground. The detailed description of a formal VIPE model of computation (MoC) and the semantics of language constructs let the reader reason about the behavior of the constructs in question. The authors propose a rigorous description of program transformations applied to the program while it is compiled. The program after all the transformations is a correct one from the view of the host MoC. Its behavior meets the programmer's expectations even when it includes fragments, which belong to a guest MoC. Techniques for translation of the guest MoC (OpenVX) constructs into the host MoC (VIPE) constructs were proposed. The approach described here leads to the end program that is fully conformant to the host MoC. In addition, the whole toolset is at the programmer's disposal, namely visual editor, compiler, runtime, and analysis tools. They stay applicable to the program, some parts of which are now guest MoC constructs.
Working With Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Children From Linguistically Diverse Backgrounds
Authors: Garrido-Nag Karen , McCann James
Published: February 2020

An increasing number of deaf and hard-of-hearing (D/HH) children live in homes where languages other than English or American Sign Language (ASL) are used. This chapter reviews issues of culture and linguistic diversity when working with D/HH multilingual learners (DMLs) from identification and early intervention through school entry. The authors will provide two case studies to explore the issues of service delivery to DMLs and their families: 1) Ji-Hun, who appears to use several spoken languages, including Korean, Japanese, and English, and 2) Ana, who is a recent immigrant to the USA and appears to use ASL, spoken Spanish, and spoken English. The discussion of these two case studies will encompass some cultural differences, including 1) openness to engagement with providers, 2) cultural beliefs about hearing loss, 3) community systems and familiar support, 4) perceptions of systems and authorities. The case studies presented are not based on actual clients but are drawn from the clinical experiences of the authors.
Dysphagia Management in Culturally-Linguistically Diverse Populations
Authors: Hall Kellyn Dailey
Published: February 2020

Culturally competent management of adults with swallowing disorders involves more than simply including ethnically appropriate foods in dysphagia therapy. It requires an understanding of the client's health beliefs, challenges, and unique cultural perspective regarding all aspects of food to ensure unbiased and culturally appropriate services are provided. This chapter begins with an overview of dysphagia management followed by a closer look at cultural beliefs regarding food and ethical conflicts that may arise. The strategies for shared decision-making presented help create a culturally sensitive dynamic between the clinician and the patient/family that positively influence therapy outcomes. The chapter concludes with a case study that highlights the importance of ethnographic interviewing needed to establish understanding and trust between the clinician and an elderly Mexican woman and her family. The strategies and techniques presented here can be applied across all cultures to achieve successful management of dysphagia.
The Financial Function in Era 4.0
Authors: Abeal Vázquez José Pablo
Published: February 2020

The global system evolves at high speed. Megatrends emerge, and they develop, interact, multiply, and transform into a continuous and increasingly crazy movement. Companies have to dance this rhythm. It's not just about adapting, but about doing it the right way. SMEs also share these similarities even if they have their own casuistry. Due to the important weight that SMEs have in the globalized global economy, there is a growing interest in studying them and the way they create value. In this context, the figure of the financial director has acquired great relevance. The last major financial crisis has confirmed its important work in SMEs and also that his role is evolving to become an essential key to increase the value of the company. In this chapter, the authors discuss the role of the financial director and the challenges they have to take on in the new technological context.
Are the New Sources for Financing SMEs a Reality or a Chimera?
Authors: Abeal Vázquez José Pablo , Alvarez García Begoña , Boedo Vilabella Lucía
Published: February 2020

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are a key pillar of the European economy because they play an important role in generating growth, employment, and value added. However, SMEs cannot access funding from sources such as issuing securities because they do not meet the listing requirements of official markets. This is why these firms are forced to cover their financial needs by borrowing from banks and reinvesting profits. For this reason, several alternative markets have been launched in Europe. In the Spanish case, two alternative markets have been created (one equity trading market and one debt market). In this chapter, these markets are presented for the purpose of analyzing to what extent they are a real solution to the financing problems faced by Spanish SMEs. This research shows that these two markets follow different paths, although for the time being, they are not capable of reaching a large number of companies.
Recent Developments in Mortgage Loans in Spain and the Effects of the Subsequent Legislative Reforms
Authors: Boedo Vilabella Lucía , Alvarez García Begoña
Published: February 2020

This chapter analyses the evolution of the mortgage loan in Spain during the present century. The economic development of Spain is described with its great connection to mortgages. The text centres on the new conditions incorporated in the loans in the years before the crisis, which were subsequently demonstrated to be unfair terms and caused serious problems for consumers and a lack of confidence in the financial sector. This provoked the reaction of legislators. This chapter studies the effectiveness of the subsequent mortgage laws in their intention to minimize the asymmetrical positions that the lender and the borrower occupy in the contractual relationship. Among the conclusions of the chapter, the authors highlight how each law is more precise but its effectiveness is lacking if the banking culture is not changed in terms of the relationship between to clients.
Foreign Direct Investment Opportunities in Infrastructure Development
Authors: Malhotra Madhuri
Published: February 2020

India's rising growth trajectory requires rapidly expanding infrastructure facilities to support it. The availability of efficient infrastructure services is an important determinant of the pace of market development and output growth. Access to affordable infrastructure services for consumption purposes serves to improve household welfare, particularly among the poor. The potential contribution of infrastructure to economic growth and poverty reduction has not been fully realized, and existing infrastructure stock and services fall far short of the requirements. The Government recognises the fact that domestic resources alone may not be adequate to sustain the required expansion in infrastructure, and hence it has followed a strategy to create incentives for Foreign Direct Investment in infrastructure sector. This study examines the current state of infrastructure in emerging India, use of FDI is infrastructure sector and policy measures to be taken up to speed up infrastructure growth in India.
Financial Infrastructure and Economic Growth
Authors: Chakraborty Saptarshi
Published: February 2020

This chapter attempts to explore both a theoretical and empirical relationship between financial infrastructure and real sector of the Indian economy. It first presents an endogenous growth model where economic growth, proxied by the incremental output-capital ratio, depend on the financial infrastructure through three routes, namely, by changing the quantity of investible resources or by affecting the efficiency of utilization of a given quantity of resources or both, of which the former can either be through change in the amount of savings channeled to investment or change in the rate of savings. A time-series econometric analysis shows that the financial sector variables can explain near about 96% of the changes in real economic growth in India, which is an excellent goodness of fit. It concludes that the development of the financial infrastructure helps the Indian real sector grow both in the short-run and in the long-run. Unlike contemporary literature that prescribes diminished role, our study suggests a greater role of the govt. to ensure long-run economic growth.
Tourism-Led Growth Hypothesis and Foreign Direct Investment in ASEAN
Authors: Pratoomchat Praopan
Published: February 2020

This study tests the relationships of visitor spending, foreign direct investment in the tourism sector, and the gross domestic product (GDP) per capita among members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) during the period of 1988 to 2011 to prove the tourism-led growth hypothesis. The results of panel regression show that tourism-led growth hypothesis is valid for the ASEAN countries. Factors determining the GDP per capita in these countries are visitor spending, foreign investment and government consumption in tourism sector, human capital and trade openness. The results from this study suggest that the governments of the ASEAN countries are able to have effective growth policies by encouraging foreign direct investment in the tourism sector and improving their human capital. Therefore, ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which will strengthen and facilitate investment cooperation and human capital developments in the tourism sector among ASEAN countries will have a significant benefit to economic growth in the region.
IFRS Harmonization and Foreign Direct Investment
Authors: Vidal-García Javier , Vidal Marta
Published: February 2020

IFRS refers to International Financial Reporting Standards, which are the guidelines that provide the framework for accounting works. The principles are also known as the International Accounting Standards (IAS). This global financial concept was first introduced in 2001 to equip investors with analyzed accounting statements. In this Chapter we review the relation between IFRS and Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs). We review the relevant literature that analyses the effects on IFRS on FDIs and cross-border acquisitions. The economic literature states that the introduction of IFRS has presented an important increase in FDIs. The evidence shows that IFRS adopting countries attract investments from countries that implemented IFRS and non-IFRS implementing countries.
Legal Aspects and Regulation in Crowdfunding
Authors: Lerro Alessandro Maria

Crowdfunding started with the donation-based and reward-based models, but soon its disruptive capacity to innovate the traditional approach to finance made it evolve into an alternative finance instrument, suitable to fund new business. Peer to peer lending and equity crowdfunding are investment instrument that can truly sustain the growth of businesses and generate profits. As any investment instrument, lending and equity crowdfunding are heavy regulated in order to protect investors and maintain a proper trust in the system. This chapter will go through the American and European main regulatory principles, offering a picture of the overall approach to this innovative and disruptive financing tool.
Inward and Outward Foreign Investments of the Asian Economies in Transition and India
Authors: Ghosh Ishita , Chakrabarti Sukalpa
Published: February 2020

This chapter is divided into two parts. The first part examines panel data evidence concerning empirical significance of the determinants of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in CLMV countries. Theoretical and empirical findings and outcomes on FDI have been considered to test the model for the aforementioned nations. The data has been taken from the World Bank through 2005-2014. Findings accept the four proposed hypotheses and the results are significant. The second part explores the trade and FDI situation in CLMV through secondary data, and establishes that India has potential to augment bi-lateral ties through this route. Literature review for this section also corroborates with the findings of the first part.
Real Estate Crowdfunding
Authors: Cinelli Steven A.
Published: February 2020

Like a juggernaut, “crowdfunding” has hit the media, the financial markets and the common narrative by storm. Incipient in many ways, the intermediation of financing transactions online has become a billion-dollar industry. As technology has advanced, even recreated, industries, there seems none more primed than “finance”, an inherently information business. By creating improved efficiency, both art and science of finance are enriched. A 21st century vestige of the 1980's syndication business, real estate seems to be enjoying the fruits of the crowd, with $1 billion of property financings conducted online in 2014, with an expected $2.5 billion this year. For sponsors and investors, there appears legitimacy to the online approach, underscored by the level of venture capital now finding home in this burgeoning sector. Yet, like its progenitor, might real estate crowdfinance find legislative, regulatory, and practical headwinds, stunting its progress? Still early, with business models, scalability and sustainability still suspect, the current momentum seems promising.
The Paradigm of the Investment Development Path
Authors: Voica Marian Cătălin , Panait Mirela Clementina , Radulescu Irina Gabriela
Published: February 2020

This article describes how foreign direct investments (FDI) is one of the most important forces that influences the global economy. Along the last two and a half decades, the motivations and the field of interest of multinational enterprises (MNEs) mutated to new forms under the influence of globalization and the international financial crisis. Those two events had a dramatic impact on the evolution of inward and outward flow of FDI. The main scope of this article is to analyze the advance of the EU28 member states through the stages of the Investment Development Path (IDP) in the period from 1990 to 2014 and to explore the viability of the original model in nowadays global economy realities. The results show that FDI is useful to gauge the economics of lesser developed countries.
Recent Status of Capital Market Regulations in Bangladesh
Authors: Baten Md Azizul
Published: February 2020

The capital market of Bangladesh perceived a self-important growth which is not in line with developed economy. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) tried to correct the irregular behaviour observed in the market, lack of proper decisions from the regulator's side which has contributed to the creation of market instability. This study tried to identify the factors on market crash and regulatory failure. Government had reform SEC to soothe the market but unsuccessful as investors' confidence is in the bottom level. The reasons behind the stock market crash are found irrational market behavior, inconsistency in regulations, excess liquidity in the market, stock split by companies, faulty listing system, issuance of right shares and preference shares by companies at high price, stock manipulations by insider trading, serial trading and excessive greed of investors. Government and regulators should work together to detect the main speculators and should bring investors back to the market.
Demographic Transition, Oil, and Institutions
Authors: Farzanegan Mohammad Reza
Published: February 2020

We examine political and economic drivers of demographic transition and the moderating role of institutions, macroeconomic instability and oil rents dependency in the final effects of increasing working age population on economic development and internal conflict. Using panel data estimations for more than 100 countries from 1984 to 2012 we find that demographic transition may lead to demographic dividend only if the country enjoys good quality of economic and political institutions, a diversified economy and stable consumer prices. Otherwise demographic dividend is not guaranteed. By contrast, we may expect a demographic curse. These results have important policy implications for the case of Iran which is expecting a significant transition in its population age structure since 1990s. Future of Iran is highly dependent on the proper use of potential demographic rent which can turn against the political stability if the wrong policies and institutions are in place and country dependence on oil rents continues as before.

Transnational Acceleration of Local Startups
Authors: Carvalho Luís , Camacho Nuno , Amorim Gonçalo , Esperança José Paulo
Published: February 2020

This chapter explores the tenets and the practice of a transnational initiative to promote local entrepreneurial growth: the Building Global Innovators (BGI) model, a startup accelerator based in Lisbon (Portugal) and in Cambridge (Massachusetts, USA). We examine the pathways through which BGI's process and global network of experts helped two successful Portuguese technology startups grow and scale very quickly – Movvo and Veniam. We combine literatures from strategic management, marketing and economic geography to explore BGI's transnational acceleration model, which taps into global “pipelines” and distant entrepreneurial ecosystems, namely as a way to access the expertise, market opportunities and venture capital that is often unavailable in emergent and policy-sheltered local clusters. We discuss the relevance of such a transnational acceleration model for high-tech startups in peripheral economies.
Place-Based Subnational Development
Authors: Gray Nick , Pugalis Lee
Published: February 2020

This chapter offers a critical theoretically informed and policy-relevant exploration of some of the most prevalent conceptual strands informing place-based development scholarship, discourse, and practice. In doing so, it examines the emphasis on co-operation, open governance, and the assumption that all places have the potential to grow and prosper. Further, it analyzes normative dispositions – namely that place-based modes of subnational development could represent a viable and progressive approach which reconciles pervasive tensions between economic growth and spatial equity. In the process, the chapter identifies four key conceptual strands that characterize place-based development theory and practice.

O presente estudo faz parte do levantamento da brioflora dos municípios de Barão de Melgaço, Cuiabá e Chapada dos Guimarães, localizados na região sul do Estado de Mato Grosso, Brasil. Foram identificadas 20 espécies, sendo musgos (17 sp) e hepáticas (3 sp). Destas, 9 espécies foram selecionadas para descrição morfológica do gametófito e, quando presente, do esporófito das briófitas. Neste artigo, são apresentadas as espécies: Gemmabryum coronatum, Entodon sullivantii, Callicostella pallida, Isopterygium tenerum, Chryso-hypnum diminutivum, Octoblepharum albidum, Sematophylum demissum e Entodontopsis leucostega. Além da identificação e caracterização morfológica, são apresentadas pranchas ilustrativas realizadas através de câmara clara e técnica do pontilhismo à nanquim. Conclui-se que as briófitas encontradas na região sul de Mato Grosso são pouco estudadas do ponto de vista da caracterização da morfologia externa e interna, necessitando aprofundar neste campo, uma vez algumas destas, tais como Octoblepharum albidum, possui variedades diferenciadas que são importantes para conhecimento da distribuição geográfica da espécie.
