The Role of Marketing Agility During Deep Uncertainty in Community Pharmacies

description: Governments designate specific industries as “essential businesses” due to their significant economic and societal contributions. During the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia, community pharmacies were recognised as essential businesses. The pandemic created a “deep uncertainty” environment, characterised by low probability but high impact, threatening the survival of many businesses. Despite this, community pharmacies thrived and reported improved financial performance. This thesis explores how they succeeded during deep uncertainty, through the concept of marketing agility (MA), which involves making rapid marketing decisions in response to unpredictable changes. Sensemaking, a key component of MA, is a reactive process through which individuals and groups interpret and address uncertainty. While MA is effective in lowto- moderate uncertainty, its efficacy in deep uncertainty is less understood. This research aims to fill this gap and contribute to marketing theory and practice. The thesis addresses two primary research questions (RQs) through four articles. RQ1 queries the extant literature and asks, “What is the status of marketing agility and sensemaking literature?” Subsequently, RQ2 investigates the question: “How does marketing agility influence firm performance in deep uncertainty?” The first paper is a systematic literature review comprising 27 studies on MA, and the second paper is a bibliometric analysis of 2,838 papers on sensemaking in business research, addressing RQ1 and highlighting the lack of evidence on MA’s effectiveness in deep uncertainty. During COVID-19, MA was redefined to include sensemaking, a concept often overlooked in marketing literature. Papers 3 and 4 use an exploratory sequential mixed-methods research design to address these gaps. Paper 3 presents qualitative findings from interviews with 12 pharmacy decision-makers, developing a theoretical framework with new themes of government intervention and digital technology. Paper 4 tests this framework with survey data from 254 pharmacy employees, using structural equation modelling. The results confirm that MA improves financial performance in deep uncertainty, with government intervention positively moderating and digitisation positively mediating this relationship. This research expands the understanding of MA in deep uncertainty and offers a validated approach for studying essential businesses in such conditions. It also provides practical insights for implementing MA to better prepare businesses for future crises.

description: Ferromagnetic systems described by the double exchange model are investigated. At temperatures close to the Curie temperature, and for a wide range of doping levels, the system is unstable toward phase separation. The chemical potential decreases upon increasing doping, due to the significant dependence of the bandwidth on the number of carriers. The reduction of the electronic bandwidth by spin disorder leads to an enormously enhanced thermopower which peaks near T_c, with a sign opposite that predicted by a rigid band model.

title: Option Valuation with Observable Volatility and Jump Dynamics

description: Under very general conditions, the total quadratic variation of a jump-diffusion process can be decomposed into diffusive volatility and squared jump variation. We use this result to develop a new option valuation model in which the underlying asset price exhibits volatility and jump intensity dynamics. The volatility and jump intensity dynamics in the model are directly driven by model-free empirical measures of diffusive volatility and jump variation. Because the empirical measures are observed in discrete intervals, our option valuation model is cast in discrete time, allowing for straightforward filtering and estimation of the model. Our model belongs to the affine class, enabling us to derive the conditional characteristic function so that option values can be computed rapidly without simulation. When estimated on S&P500 index options and returns, the new model performs well compared with standard benchmarks.
description: Dans des conditions très générales, la variation quadratique totale d’un processus de diffusion à sauts peut se diviser entre la volatilité de la diffusion et la variation des sauts. Ce résultat permet de construire un nouveau modèle d’évaluation des options où la volatilité et l’intensité des sauts du prix de l’actif sous-jacent varient. Dans ce modèle, les dynamiques de la volatilité et de l’intensité des sauts sont tributaires de mesures non paramétriques de la volatilité de la diffusion et de la variation des sauts. Ces mesures étant observées dans des intervalles discrets, le modèle d’évaluation est formulé en temps discret. Cette approche permet une filtration et une estimation simples du modèle. Le modèle appartient à la classe des modèles affines : cette propriété permet de déduire une fonction caractéristique conditionnelle et, par conséquent, de calculer rapidement les valeurs des options en évitant le recours à des méthodes de simulation. Estimé à partir de rendements et des prix d’options de l’indice S&P 500, le nouveau modèle offre de bons résultats par rapport aux modèles de référence habituels.

The knowledge of the cut-off energy ($E_{cut}$) of the primary X-ray continuum in an AGN is very important as it carries information on the physical characteristics of the hot X-ray emitting corona.

description: Over the last 20 years, the larva of the greater waxmoth, Galleria mellonella, has rapidly increased in popularity as an in vivo mammalian replacement model organism for the study of human pathogens. Experimental readouts of response to infection are most often limited to observing the melanization cascade and quantifying larval death and, whilst transcriptomic and proteomic approaches, and methods to determine microbial load are also used, a more comprehensive toolkit of profiling infection over time could transform the applicability of this model. As an invertebrate, Galleria harbour an innate immune system comprised of both humoral components and a repertoire of innate immune cells – termed haemocytes. Although information on subtypes of haemocytes exists, there are conflicting reports on their exact number and function. Flow cytometry has previously been used to assay Galleria haemocytes, but protocols include both centrifugation and fixation – physical methods which have the potential to affect haemocyte morphology prior to analysis. Here, we present a method for live haemocyte analysis by flow cytometry, revealing that Galleria haemocytes constitute only a single resolvable population, based on relative size or internal complexity. Using fluorescent zymosan particles, we extend our method to show that up to 80% of the Galleria haemocyte population display phagocytic capability. Finally, we demonstrate that the developed assay reliably replicates in vitro data, showing that cell wall β-1,3-glucan masking by Candida albicans subverts phagocytic responses. As such, our method provides a new tool with which to rapidly assess phagocytosis and understand live infection dynamics in Galleria.

description: The literature dedicated to analysis of the difference in research productivity between the sexes tends to agree in indicating better performance for men. This study enters in the vein of work on the subject. Through bibliometric examination of the entire population of research personnel working in the scientific-technological disciplines of Italian university system, it confirms the presence of significant differences in productivity between men and women. But such differences result as being smaller than reported in a large part of the literature, confirming an ongoing tendency towards decline, and are also seen as more noticeable for quantitative performance indicators than other indicators. The gap between the sexes presents important sectorial specificities. In spite of the generally better performance of men, it can not be ignored that there are a significant number of scientific sectors in which the performance of women does not result as inferior.

description: We present RXTE monitoring of the eclipsing X-ray binary Hercules X-1 conducted over the short-high state of July 1998. This was one of the last major short-high states before the source entered an anomalous low-state of activity. A comparison with previous epochs finds no evidence for special behavior during these observations. We determine orbital and pulsar spin periods to facilitate measurements period derivatives during the subsequent anomalous low state and during the next epoch of high-state activity. Spectrally, the decay of the short-high state and concurrent pre-eclipse dips are consistent with obscuration of a central X-ray source by a cloud of non-uniform column density. The standard model of a warped accretion disk of finite vertical scale height fits the characteristics of this absorber well. Pre-eclipse dips have durations a factor of a few longer than the characteristic durations of dips during main-high states. Pulse profile structure increases in complexity towards the tail of the short-high state suggesting changes in accretion curtain geometry.

We demonstrate the use of this technique in different situations including the linear regime, the stationary Saffman-Taylor fingers and the multifinger competition dynamics, for different viscosity contrasts. The method is quantitatively tested against analytical predictions and other numerical results. A detailed analysis of convergence to the sharp interface limit is performed for the linear dispersion results. We show that the method may be a useful alternative to more traditional methods.

description: We study wave-particle duality by exploring for the first time effects of a quantum object's source. A single photon emitted from a pair of nonlocally entangled two-level atoms is specifically analyzed. Surprisingly, duality is found to be a conditional phenomenon depending on the photon's atomic source. It can be tuned maximum, medium, and even minimum (completely absent) by the atomic state purity through an exact quadratic relation that can be called Duality Pythagorean Theorem. The analysis shows a new way of investigating duality by accounting how the single quantum object is created. The result sheds a new light on the fundamental understanding of the completeness of wave-particle duality, and can be tested in various practical physical systems.

description: It can be fruitful to view two-component physical systems of attractive monomers, A and B, ``chemically'' in terms of a reaction A + B C, where C = AB is an associated pair or complex. We show how to construct free energies in the three-component or chemical picture which, under mass-action equilibration, exactly reproduce any given two-component or ``physical'' thermodynamics. Order-by-order matching conditions and closed-form chemical representations reveal the freedom available to modify the A-C, B-C, and C-C interactions and to adjust the association constant. The theory (in the simpler one-component, i.e., A = B, case) is illustrated by treating a van der Waals fluid.

description: Emerging-market economies have become increasingly important in driving global GDP growth over the past 10 to 15 years. This has made timely and accurate assessment of current and future economic activity in emerging markets important for policy-makers not only in these countries but also in advanced economies. This paper uses state-of-theart dynamic factor models (DFMs) to nowcast real GDP growth in five major emerging markets—Brazil, Russia, India, China and Mexico (“BRIC+M”). The DFM framework allows us to efficiently handle data series characterized by different publication lags, frequencies and sample lengths. This framework is particularly suitable for emerging markets for which many indicators are subject to significant publication lags and/or have been compiled only recently. The methodology also allows us to extract model-based “news” from a data release and assess the impact of this news on nowcast revisions. Results show that the DFMs generally outperform simple univariate benchmark models for the BRIC+M. Overall, our results suggest that the DFM framework provides reliable nowcasts for GDP growth for the emerging markets under consideration.
description: Au cours des dix à quinze dernières années, les économies de marché émergentes ont pris une place grandissante dans la croissance du PIB mondial. C’est pourquoi il est important que les responsables des politiques publiques de ces pays, mais également ceux des économies avancées, disposent de prévisions rapides et exactes de l’activité économique actuelle et future dans les marchés émergents. Dans la présente étude, les auteurs ont recours à des modèles à facteurs dynamiques avancés pour prévoir, pour un horizon allant du passé récent au futur proche, le taux de croissance du PIB réel de cinq grands marchés émergents, soit le Brésil, la Russie, l’Inde, la Chine et le Mexique (pays du BRIC+M). Ces modèles permettent de traiter efficacement des séries de données dont les délais et la fréquence de parution ainsi que la longueur de la période d’observation sont différents, et ils conviennent particulièrement bien aux marchés émergents pour lesquels de nombreux indicateurs sont publiés après un long délai ou sont compilés depuis peu de temps seulement. De plus, la méthode utilisée permet aux auteurs d’extraire à l’aide des modèles de « nouveaux éléments d’information » à partir de la publication de nouvelles données, et d’évaluer l’incidence de cette information sur les révisions des prévisions pour la période en cours. Les résultats montrent que les modèles à facteurs dynamiques ont généralement un pouvoir prédictif supérieur aux modèles de référence univariés simples pour les pays du BRIC+M. Dans l’ensemble, les résultats indiquent que les modèles à facteurs dynamiques fournissent des prévisions fiables de la croissance du PIB pour la période en cours dans les marchés émergents à l’étude.

description: DNA stretching experiments are usually interpreted using the worm-like chain model; the persistence length A appearing in the model is then interpreted as the elastic stiffness of the double helix. In fact the persistence length obtained by this method is a combination of bend stiffness and intrinsic bend effects reflecting sequence information, just as at zero stretching force. This observation resolves the discrepancy between the value of A measured in these experiments and the larger ``dynamic persistence length'' measured by other means. On the other hand, the twist persistence length deduced from torsionally-constrained stretching experiments suffers no such correction. Our calculation is very simple and analytic; it applies to DNA and other polymers with weak intrinsic disorder.

description: We present the results of an identification campaign of unassociated sources from the Fermi Large Area Telescope 3FHL catalog. Out of 200 unidentified sources, we selected 110 sources for which archival Swift-XRT observations were available, 52 of which were found to have exactly one X-ray counterpart within the 3FHL 95\% positional uncertainty. In this work, we report the X-ray, optical, IR, and radio properties of these 52 sources using positional associations with objects in various catalogs. The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer color-color plot for sources suggests that most of these belong to the blazar class family. The redshift measurements for these objects range from z=0.277 to z=2.1. Additionally, under the assumption that the majority of these sources are blazars, three machine-learning algorithms are employed to classify the sample into flat spectrum radio quasars or BL Lacertae objects. These suggest that the majority of the previously unassociated sources are BL Lac objects, in agreement with the fact the BL Lac objects represent by far the most numerous population detected above 10 GeV in 3FHL.

description: We decompose the variance risk premium into upside and downside variance risk premia. These components reflect market compensation for changes in good and bad uncertainties. Their difference is a measure of the skewness risk premium (SRP), which captures asymmetric views on favorable versus undesirable risks. Empirically, we establish that the downside variance risk premium (DVRP) is the main component of the variance risk premium. We find a positive and significant link between the DVRP and the equity premium, and a negative and significant relation between the SRP and the equity premium. A simple equilibrium consumption-based asset pricing model supports our decomposition.
description: Nous décomposons la prime de risque de la variance en primes de risque à la hausse et à la baisse. Ces composantes reflètent la rémunération, par le marché, des risques liés aux variations de la « bonne » et de la « mauvaise » incertitude. La différence entre les deux représente une mesure de la prime de risque d’asymétrie, laquelle rend compte de l’asymétrie des opinions au sujet des risques favorables ou défavorables. Nous déterminons de façon empirique que la prime de risque de la variance à la baisse est le principal élément de la prime de risque de la variance. Nous constatons qu’il existe une relation positive significative entre la prime de risque de la variance à la baisse et la prime de risque sur actions, et une relation négative significative entre la prime de risque d’asymétrie et la prime de risque sur actions. Un modèle simple d’équilibre des actifs fondé sur la consommation étaye notre décomposition.

description: How does aggregate profit uncertainty influence investment activity at the firm level? We propose a parsimonious adaptation of a factor-autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity model to exploit information in a subindustry sales panel for an efficient and tractable estimation of aggregate volatility. The resulting uncertainty measure is then included in an investment forecasting model interacted with firm-specific coefficients. We find that higher profit uncertainty induces firms to lower capital expenditure on average, yet to a considerably different degree: for example, both small and large firms are expected to reduce investment much more than medium-sized firms. This highlights significant and substantial heterogeneity in the uncertainty transmission mechanism.

Les auteurs proposent une adaptation parcimonieuse d’un modèle autorégressif conditionnellement hétéroscédastique à facteurs pour exploiter des données sur le chiffre d’affaires d’un panel de sous-secteurs et parvenir à une estimation à la fois efficiente et maniable de la volatilité agrégée. La mesure de l’incertitude ainsi obtenue est ensuite intégrée à un modèle de prévision de l’investissement dans lequel cette variable interagit avec des coefficients propres aux entreprises. Les auteurs constatent qu’une plus grande incertitude à l’égard des profits amène en général les firmes à abaisser leurs dépenses en immobilisations, mais à des degrés très variables selon leur taille : les entreprises petites et grandes limiteraient beaucoup plus leurs investissements que les firmes de taille moyenne, ce qui témoigne de de l’hétérogénéité importante qui caractérise le mécanisme de transmission de l’incertitude.
How to make CMB maps from huge timelines with small computers

description: We present in this article two different ways to make CMB maps in practice, from large timelines. One is to make a simple destriping, fitting the data and using the scan intercepts to remove the low frequency noise (stripes). The second, optimal, is to resolve linearly the map-making problem, which in case of big timelines must be simplified and changed from matrices to vectors for the calculations. Assuming few conditions on the noise, it is possible to make fast map-making tools.

“Some Crude Intrusion of the Actual”: Damaged Totality in The Last September
Creators: name: Andersen, Martin
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2025

description: To track the bildungsroman’s travels into modernism is to encounter a period in which a classically optimistic genre begins instead to produce, across the board, “failed” developmental narratives—ones which end in either premature death or terminal adolescence. In this article, I focus on one such antidevelopmental narrative: that of Lois Farquar, of Elizabeth Bowen’s 1929 novel The Last September. Building from and extrapolating the theory of the modernist bildungsroman established by Jed Esty in Unseasonable Youth (2012), I argue that The Last September’s “failures” are symptomatic of its broader refusal to instate the nation as a cohesive and fulfilling guarantor of personal development. I go on to suggest that, in problematising the cohesive national totalities of the nineteenth-century realist novel, Bowen is in fact aiming idiosyncratically at a “modernist” form of realistic representation; faced with the contradictions of early-twentieth-century Anglo-Irish experience, she senses the incompatibility of the classical bildungsroman form and attempts to develop a narrative form commensurate to the social conditions of the period.

description: We analyze how a wealth shift to emerging countries may lead to instability in developed countries. Investors exposed to expropriation risk are willing to pay a safety premium to invest in countries with good property rights. Domestic intermediaries compete for such cheap funding by carving out safe claims, which requires demandable debt. While foreign inflows allow countries to expand their domestic credit, risk-intolerant foreign investors withdraw even under minimal uncertainty. We show that more foreign funding causes larger and more frequent runs. Beyond some scale, even risk-tolerant domestic investors are induced to withdraw to avoid dilution. As excess liquidation causes social losses, a domestic planner may seek prudential measures on the scale of foreign inflows.
description: Un transfert de richesse vers les pays émergents peut conduire à de l’instabilité dans les pays développés. Les investisseurs qui sont exposés à un risque d’expropriation sont disposés à verser une prime de sécurité pour investir dans des pays où les droits de propriété sont bien établis. Les intermédiaires se font concurrence pour accéder à ce financement bon marché en structurant des créances sûres qui offrent aux investisseurs une dette exigible. Ces entrées de capitaux motivées par la recherche de sûreté permettent certes aux pays développés d’élargir leur crédit intérieur, mais les investisseurs étrangers réfractaires au risque retirent leurs placements même quand l’incertitude est minime. Un accroissement du financement de sources étrangères a pour effet d’augmenter la fréquence et l’importance des retraits massifs. Étant donné qu’une liquidation excessive se traduit par des pertes sur le plan social, un planificateur national pourrait envisager l’adoption de mesures prudentielles visant à limiter l’ampleur des entrées de capitaux étrangers.

description: The crossover from thermal hopping to quantum tunneling is studied. We show that the decay rate $Γ$ with dissipation can accurately be determined near the crossover temperature. Besides considering the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) exponent, we also calculate contribution of the fluctuation modes around the saddle point and give an extended account of a previous study of crossover region. We deal with two dangerous fluctuation modes whose contribution can't be calculated by the steepest descent method and show that higher order couplings between the two dangerous modes need to be taken into considerations. At last the crossover from thermal hopping to quantum tunneling in the molecular magnet Mn_{12}Ac is studied.

Nonequilibrium dislocation dynamics and instability of driven vortex lattices in two dimensions

description: We consider dislocations in a vortex lattice that is driven in a two-dimensional superconductor with random impurities. The structure and dynamics of dislocations is studied in this genuine nonequilibrium situation on the basis of a coarse-grained equation of motion for the displacement field. The presence of dislocations leads to a characteristic anisotropic distortion of the vortex density that is controlled by a Kardar-Parisi-Zhang nonlinearity in the coarse-grained equation of motion. This nonlinearity also implies a screening of the interaction between dislocations and thereby an instability of the vortex lattice to the proliferation of free dislocations.

description: We show that $SU_q(2)$ invariant systems in one and two dimensions exhibit Bose-Einstein condensation for $q >1$. For these systems there is a $λ$-transition at the critical temperature. The critical temperature and the gap in the heat capacity increase more rapidly for small deviations from the standard value $q=1$, and they become approximately constant for large values of $q$. For low temperatures and $q>1$ the entropy is lower than the entropy of an ideal Bose gas.

description: We propose a tractable, model-based stress-testing framework where the solvency risks, funding liquidity risks and market risks of banks are intertwined. We highlight how coordination failure between a bank’s creditors and adverse selection in the secondary market for the bank’s assets interact, leading to a vicious cycle that can drive otherwise solvent banks to illiquidity. Investors’ pessimism over the quality of a bank’s assets reduces the bank’s recourse to liquidity, which exacerbates the incidence of runs by creditors. This, in turn, makes investors more pessimistic, driving down other banks’ recourse to liquidity. We illustrate these dynamics in a calibrated stress-testing exercise.
description: Les auteurs proposent un cadre d’analyse maniable pour la réalisation de tests de résistance, fondé sur un modèle dans lequel les risques de solvabilité, les risques de liquidité de financement et les risques de marché des banques sont interreliés. Ils montrent de quelle manière l’interaction entre la non-coordination des créanciers d’une banque et l’antisélection de ses actifs sur le marché secondaire mène à la formation d’un cercle vicieux pouvant conduire des banques autrement solvables à une situation d’illiquidité. Le pessimisme des investisseurs à l’égard de la qualité des actifs d’une banque limite les possibilités dont elle dispose pour avoir accès à des liquidités, ce qui exacerbe l’effet des désengagements massifs par les créanciers. S’ensuit un renforcement du pessimisme des investisseurs qui restreint les possibilités de recours aux liquidités d’autres banques. Les auteurs illustrent cette dynamique à l’aide d’un test de résistance calibré.

description: Advances in artificial intelligence have renewed interest in conversational agents. So-called chatbots have reached maturity for industrial applications. German insurance companies are interested in improving their customer service and digitizing their business processes. In this work we investigate the potential use of conversational agents in insurance companies by determining which classes of agents are of interest to insurance companies, finding relevant use cases and requirements, and developing a prototype for an exemplary insurance scenario. Based on this approach, we derive key findings for conversational agent implementation in insurance companies.
