description: Sustainability of water supply has over the years become a key concern for the global community due to water stress and scarcity attributable to climate change and other anthropogenic factors. This is especially crucial for urban areas where increased rural-urban migration has brought population increases, thus raising the demand for basic services and infrastructure. The concerted efforts of water sector stakeholders have seen to, among other strategies, the implementation of water supply projects in affected areas. In Kenya, however, the statistics show that these water supply projects have reported high failure rates with the existing systems failing to operate at full capacity. The study sought to investigate the effect on the effect of accountability on the sustainability of water supply projects in Nairobi City County's informal settlement areas. A sample of 260 project leaders of water supply projects was considered in this study. Data was collected using structured questionnaires, and both descriptive and inferential data analysis was conducted. The findings revealed that accountability has a positive and statistically significant effect on sustainability and that strengthening accountability practices such as monitoring and evaluation, managerial evaluation, and transparency would bolster project sustainability.

description: The time variation in the water-vapour bands in oxygen-rich Mira variables has been investigated using multi-epoch ISO/SWS spectra of four Mira variables in the 2.5-4.0 micron region. All four stars show H2O bands in absorption around minimum in the visual light curve. At maximum, H2O emission features appear in the ~3.5-4.0 micronm region, while the features at shorter wavelengths remain in absorption. These H2O bands in the 2.5-4.0 micron region originate from the extended atmosphere. The analysis has been carried out with a disk shape, slab geometry model. The observed H2O bands are reproduced by two layers; a `hot' layer with an excitation temperature of 2000 K and a `cool' layer with an excitation temperature of 1000-1400 K. The radii of the `hot' layer (R_hot) are ~1 R_* at visual minimum and 2 R_* at maximum, where R_* is a radius of background source of the model. The time variation of R_hot/R_* from 1 to 2 is attributed to the actual variation in the radius of the H2O layer. A high H2O density shell occurs near the surface of the star around minimum, and moves out with the stellar pulsation. This shell gradually fades away after maximum, and a new high H2O density shell is formed in the inner region again at the next minimum. Due to large optical depth of H2O, the near-infrared variability is dominated by the H2O layer, and the L'-band flux correlates with the area of the H2O shell. The infrared molecular bands trace the structure of the extended atmosphere and impose appreciable effects on near-infrared light curve of Mira variables.

description: In the present paper the phase transition in the regularized U(1) gauge theory is investigated using the dual Abelian Higgs model of scalar monopoles. The corresponding renormalization group improved effective potential, analogous to the Coleman-Weinberg's one, was considered in the two-loop approximation for $β$ functions, and the phase transition (critical) dual and non-dual couplings were calculated in the U(1) gauge theory. It was shown that the critical value of the renormalized electric fine structure constant $α_{\text{crit}}\approx 0.208$ obtained in this paper coincides with the lattice result for compact QED: $α_{\text{crit}}^{\text{lat}}\approx 0.20\pm 0.015$. This result and the behavior of $α$ in the vicinity of the phase transition point were compared with the Multiple Point Model prediction for the values of $α$ near the Planck scale. Such a comparison is very encouraging for the Multiple Point Model assuming the existence of the multiple critical point at the Planck scale.

description: In this study, nitritation–denitrification SBR was successfully begun within 5 days by maintaining a proper condition (pH > 8, DO 0.1–0.5 mg/L and 29.5 ± 0.5°C) and transient excessive aeration would not cause N-NO3- accumulation. In the start-up stage, FA had an upward trend and reached to 10.98 mg NH3/L, which could entirely inhibit NOB. On the basis of experimental evidence, DO and ORP showed regular trends of variation and the first derivatives of DO and ORP as process control parameters in a nitritation–denitrification SBR was proposed. During the real-time control period, N-NH4+ in the outlet was less than 2 mg N-NH4+/L and N-NH4+ removal efficiency was 97%, with nitrite accumulation rate (NAR) reaching 98%. After algorithm optimization by using ‘Slope’, the first derivatives of DO and ORP curves became smooth and interference signals were eliminated. Pre-aeration could promote nitritation rate from 23.76 mg/L/h to 26.27 mg/L/h and increase the transformation rate of N-NH4+ to N-NO2- from 48.% to 79.6%. The 16S rDNA analysis showed that real-time control could cause a significant difference in microbial community. Nitrosomonas was the dominant strain in AOB and its relative abundance increased from 0.13% to 0.786%. Nitrospira was inhibited and washed out in nitritation–denitrification sludge.

description: Dust grains moving at hypersonic velocities of $v_{d}\gtrsim 100\rm km~s^{-1}$ through an ambient gas are known to be destroyed by nonthermal sputtering. Yet, previous studies of nonthermal sputtering disregarded the fact that dust grains can be spun-up to suprathermal rotation by stochastic mechanical torques from gas-grain collisions. In this paper, we show that such grain suprathermal rotation can disrupt a small grain into small fragments because induced centrifugal stress exceeds the maximum tensile strength of grain material, $S_{\rm max}$. We term this mechanism {\it MEchanical Torque Disruption} (METD). We find that METD is more efficient than nonthermal sputtering in destroying smallest grains ($a<10$ nm) of nonideal structures moving with velocities of $v_{d}<500 \rm km~s^{-1}$. The ratio of rotational disruption to sputtering time is $τ_{\rm disr}/τ_{\rm sp}\sim 0.7(S_{\rm max}/10^{9}\rm erg~cm^{-3})(\bar{A}_{\rm sp}/12)(Y_{\rm sp}/0.1)(a/0.01μm)^{3}(300\rm km~s^{-1}/v_{d})^{2}$ where $a$ is the radius of spherical grains, and $Y_{\rm sp}$ is sputtering yield. We also consider the high-energy regime and find that the rate of METD is reduced and becomes less efficient than sputtering for $v_{d}>500\rm km~s^{-1}$ because impinging particles only transfer part of their momentum to the grain. We finally discuss implications of the METD mechanism for the destruction of hypersonic grains accelerated by radiation pressure as well as grains in fast shocks. Our results suggest that the destruction of small grains by METD in fast shocks of supernova remnants may be more efficient than previously predicted by nonthermal sputtering, depending on grain internal structures.

description: The primary goal of market segmentation is to target attractive market segments. The purpose for segmenting a market is to allow marketing program to focus on the subset of prospects that are "most likely" to purchase offering. Market segmentation can stimulate marketing and transform business to new levels of success. There are numerous ways to carry out a market segmentation for the fruit and vegetables market in the EU. These include dividing the market by geographic, demographic, or behavioural variables. Each has a strong influence on the consumption patterns of fruit and vegetables. They are not separate entities but overlap. Some main characteristics within each are described below.
Incorporating Agroecology Into Organic Research –An Ongoing Challenge

Year: 2015
Subjects: Resource /Energy Economics and Policy

description: Agroecology – as a scientific discipline and as an approach to sustainable farming practice – has objectives similar to those of organic agriculture. The paper sharpens the profile of both concepts and identifies strengths and weaknesses. The overarching challenge of both is to minimize trade-offs between food and fiber production on the one hand and non-commodity ecosystem services on the other hand. A comparison of the two approaches may well be inspiring, especially for the future development of organic food systems. Best use of human, social and natural capital characterizes organic farmers, especially in developing countries, as documented by many case studies from sub-Saharan Africa. That also applies to organic farms in temperate zones, although usually more external inputs are used in organic farming there. While the profitability of organic farms is comparable to or slightly higher than that of conventional ones, per area food production is lower by an average of 20 to 25 percent in temperate zones. Overly restrictive production standards are often mentioned as the cause, but also a lag in production techniques. One of the main approaches of organic agriculture to augment productivity is ecological or eco-functional intensification. Thereby, the goal is to maintain the ecological and social qualities of the farms and to increase food output. The future development of organic agriculture can be characterized by a comprehensive culture of innovation embracing social, ecological and technological innovations. Such a concept of innovation includes dynamic interactions between farmers and scientists in order to strengthen system resilience and make better use of basic research from a wide range of scientific disciplines.

On Core Collapse Supernovae in Normal and in Seyfert Galaxies

description: This paper estimates the relative frequency of different types of core-collapse supernovae, in terms of the ratio f between the number of type Ib--Ic and of type II supernovae. We estimate f independently for all normal and Seyfert galaxies whose radial velocity is <=14000 km/s, and which had at least one supernova event recorded in the Asiago catalogue from January 1986 to August 2000. We find that the ratio f is approx. 0.23+/-0.05 in normal galaxies. This value is consistent with constant star formation rate and with a Salpeter Initial Mass Function and average binary rate approx. 50 %. On the contrary, Seyfert galaxies exceed the ratio f in normal galaxies by a factor approx. 4 at a confidence level >= 2 sigma. A caveat is that the numbers for Seyferts are still small (6 type Ib-Ic and 6 type II supernovae discovered as yet). Assumed real, this excess of type Ib and Ic with respect to type II supernovae, may indicate a burst of star formation of young age (<= 20 Myr), a high incidence of binary systems in the inner regions (r <= 0.4 R25) of Seyfert galaxies, or a top-loaded mass function.

description: We consider deformations of a toroidal orbifold $T^4/Z_2$ and an orbifold of quartic in $CP^3$. In the $T^4/Z_2$ case, we construct a family of noncommutative K3 surfaces obtained via both complex and noncommutative deformations. We do this following the line of algebraic deformation done by Berenstein and Leigh for the Calabi-Yau threefold. We obtain 18 as the dimension of the moduli space both in the noncommutative deformation as well as in the complex deformation, matching the expectation from classical consideration. In the quartic case, we construct a $4 \times 4$ matrix representation of noncommutative K3 surface in terms of quartic variables in $CP^3$ with a fourth root of unity. In this case, the fractionation of branes occurs at codimension two singularities due to the presence of discrete torsion.

We derive the differential equation for the shortest path in the bulk for a 1+4 cosmological metric. The time cost and the redshifts for photons and gravitons after traveling their respective path are compared. We consider some numerical solutions of the shortest path equation, and show that there is no shortest path in the bulk for the Randall-Sundrum vacuum brane solution, the linear cosmological solution of Binétruy, et al for $ω= -1, -{2/3}$, and for some expanding brane universes.

description: We propose a very simple scheme to slow down the usual exponential decay of upper state population in an atomic two level system considerably. The scheme makes use of an additional intense field with frequency lower than the total decay width of the atomic transition. This allows for additional decay channels with the exchange of one or more low-frequency photons during an atomic transition. The various channels may then interfere with each other. The intensity and the frequency of the low-frequency field are shown to act as two different control parameters modifying the duration and the amount of the population trapping. An extension of the scheme to include transitions to more than one lower state is straightforward.

description: This work employed the atmospheric cold plasma (ACP) technology to efficiently control the antibiotic resistance contaminants in the wastewater effluent. We found that the plasma inactivated the antibiotic resistant E. coli through multiple damages on the cell membranes and intracellular components (enzymes and DNA). Plasma treatment at an influence of 0.71 kJ/cm2 resulted in a more than 3 log10 CFU/ml reduction (>99.999%) of E. coli in an actual wastewater system. We further estimated the effect of plasma on the ampicillin (blaTEM) and tetracycline (tet) resistance genes. The results demonstrated that an applied plasma dose of 1.06 kJ/cm2 could significantly (P blaTEM and tet genes by 3.26 and 3.14 log10 copies/ml, respectively. Higher plasma intensity was required for the efficient reduction of intracellular (i-) ARGs than extracellular (e-) ARGs due to the shielding effect of the outer envelopes or intracellular components. The inactivation of E. coli and the degradation of e- and i- ARGs can be well described by the Weibull models. The results here provide the evidence for the potential of the plasma technology as a water/wastewater treatment technology.
Off-Farm Work Decisions of Farmers Over the Life Cycle: Evidence from Panel Data

description: One of the main questions regarding the phenomenon of part-time farming is whether it is a stable situation or a temporary stage before quitting farming altogether. A conclusion may be reached by examining the structural state dependence of farmers' discrete choices regarding off-farm work over time. A dynamic programming model of utility maximization in which current work decisions affect future utility is developed, and an estimation strategy based on the Hotz-Miller Multinomial Logit framework for panel data is suggested. The model is estimated using Israeli census-panel data and the hypothesis that state dependence is not important is strongly rejected. In particular, the results indicate that farmers choose to work off the farm if it leads to lower prospects of a future exit. Hence, it may be concluded that Israeli farmers do not see the off-farm work option as a step on the way out of agriculture, but rather as a preferred long-run choice in combination with farming.

description: In this paper we investigate the impact of using a polarization modulator in the Short Wavelenght Instrument for the Polarization Explorer (SWIPE) of the Large Scale Polarization Explorer (LSPE). The experiment is optimized to measure the linear polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background at large angular scales during a circumpolar long-duration stratospheric balloon mission, and uses multi-mode bolometers cooled at 0.3 K. The 330 detectors cover 3 bands at 140 GHz, 220 GHz and 240 GHz. Polarimetry is achieved by means of a large rotating half-wave plate (HWP) and a single wire-grid polarizer in front of the arrays. The polarization modulator is the first polarization-active component of the optical chain, reducing significantly the effect of instrumental polarization. A trade-off study comparing stepped vs spinning HWPs drives the choice towards the second. Modulating the CMB polarization signal at 4 times the spin frequency moves it away from $1/f$ noise from the detectors and the residual atmosphere. The HWP is cooled at 1.6 K to reduce the background on the detectors. Furthermore its polarized emission combined with the emission of the polarizer produces spurious signals modulated at $2f$ and $4f$. The $4f$ component is synchronous with the signal of interest and has to characterized to be removed from cosmological data.

description: Trust is based on the taxpayer’s belief that the tax authority is competent, pursues relevant goals, and give support to the taxpayers. Trust leads to good perception of service climate and voluntary cooperation. This study aims to examine the effect of trust in tax authority on voluntary cooperation mediated by perception of service climate. This research used survey as the technique of collecting data with a total sample of 120 taxpayers consist of Millennials and X generations. The type of business of respondents were retail/production and services/profession. The survey was conducted in 2019 in five major cities in Indonesia (Jakarta, Semarang, Surabaya, Bandung, and Denpasar). This study uses quota and convenience sampling. The analysis used is Partial Least Square with Wrap-PLS as a statistical tool. The results of this study found that the trust in tax authority affects voluntary cooperation through the perception of service climate as mediation. We also find trust in tax authority affects the perception of service climate and voluntary cooperation directly.

description: We present dynamical models of the nearby compact elliptical galaxy M32, using high quality kinematical measurements, obtained with the integral-field spectrograph SAURON mounted on the William Herschel Telescope on La Palma. We also include STIS data obtained by Joseph et al. We find a best-fit black hole mass of (2.5 +/- 0.5) million solar masses and a stellar I-band mass-to-light ratio of (1.85 +/- 0.15) in solar units. For the first time, we are also able to constrain the inclination along which M32 is observed to (70 +/- 5) degrees. Combined with an averaged observed flattening of 0.73, this corresponds to an intrinsic flattening of approximately 0.68 +/- 0.03. These tight constraints are mainly caused by the use of integral-field data. We show this quantitatively by comparing with models that are constrained by multiple slits only. We show the phase-space distribution and intrinsic velocity structure of the best-fit model and investigate the effect of regularisation on the orbit distribution.

description: We construct the most general gauge fixing and the associated Faddeev-Popov ghost term for the SU(2) Yang-Mills theory, which leaves the global U(1) gauge symmetry intact (i.e., the most general Maximal Abelian gauge). We show that the most general form involves eleven independent gauge parameters. Then we require various symmetries which help to reduce the number of independent parameters for obtaining the simpler form. In the simplest case, the off-diagonal part of the gauge fixing term obtained in this way is identical to the modified maximal Abelian gauge term with two gauge parameters which was proposed in the previous paper from the viewpoint of renormalizability. In this case, moreover, we calculate the beta function, anomalous dimensions of all fields and renormalization group functions of all gauge parameters in perturbation theory to one-loop order. We also discuss the implication of these results to obtain information on low-energy physics of QCD.

description: The paper investigates efficiency performance of several irrigation water pricing methods, paying special attention to costs associated with implementing these methods. The volumetric, output, input, tiered and two-part tariff methods can achieve efficiency, though the type of efficiency (short or long run, first or second best) vary from one method to the other. Implementing these methods, however, entails expensive information collection and administrative activities. Per area pricing, which can not influence water input directly, is inefficient but is easier to implement and administer and require a modest amount of information. As the numerical example illustrates, differences • in implementation costs can render volumetric pricing inferior to per-area pricing.

description: In-plant wastewater treatment strategies to deal with bypass wastewater in excess of plant capacity are critical in securing sustainable wastewater management. To address this issue, potassium ferrate(VI), which is a dual disinfectant and coagulant, is assessed in this study as the sole chemical applied to enhance the primary treatment of bypass wastewater. The effect of rapid mixing speed is investigated for the first time along with potassium ferrate(VI) dosage by means of central composite design and response surface methodology. Escherichia coli (E. Coli), Faecal Coliform (FC), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), and Orthophosphates (PO43−) were considered as the process responses. All responses other than PO43− showed good agreement between the observed and modelled values. While there was no point of maximum or minimum response for both E. Coli and FC, whose removals were found to increase with the increase of both the mixing intensity and potassium ferrate(VI) dosages, TSS removal exhibited optimal responses. The effluent quality achieved by potassium ferrate(VI), as an independent treatment, can be sufficient for certain types of unrestricted and restricted irrigation reuse purposes suggested by World Health Organisation (WHO) reuse guidelines.

description: The effects of Piguvian taxes and subsidies on pollution control are compared for an industry, with politically powerful producers. Only minimal structural and behavioral assumptions are adopted: profit maximization, the participation constraint, and that politicians are readily influenced. It is shown that the only surviving conclusions of the normative, politically free analysis are that taxes improve welfare in the short-run, whereas subsidies reduce it in the long-run. Otherwise, with political pressure, taxes and subsidies may be worse than a hands off, nonintervention policy. Also, in a political equilibrium, production is not efficient and costs are not minimized. The paper further shows that the preferred policy instrument cannot be determined on theoretical grounds; detailed knowledge of technical and behavioral parameters is required in order to find the best policy tool.

description: The paper proposes a way to control the viscosity of numerical approximation in the contact SPH method. This variant of SPH contains momentum and energy fluxes in the right-hand sides of the equations, which are calculated using the solution of the Riemann problem between each pair of neighboring particles within the smoothing kernel support radius, which is similar to the procedure for calculating fluxes across cell boundaries in Godunov schemes. Such SPH method does not require the use of artificial viscosity, because the significant numerical viscosity is already introduced by a Riemann problem solution. The magnitude of numerical viscosity decreases linearly with particle size, however, it becomes comparable with the physical viscosity for most materials when the particle size is about $\thicksim 1\,$nm, which hampers the correct accounting for viscous effects in real-life problems. In this study we develop a method for reducing the viscous stresses of numerical origin, for which a correcting viscous stress tensor is constructed on the basis of the analytical solution for discontinuous viscous flow. The use of such correction makes it possible to improve the agreement with the experiment in the simulation of viscous flows.

An Econometric Testing of Traditional Import Demand Function for Cote d’Ivoire
Creators: name: Yaya Keho
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2019
Subjects: Economics

description: This study estimates an aggregate import demand function for Cote d’Ivoire and tests the price homogeneity assumption implied by conventional import models. Estimations are based on annual data for real import, real GDP, domestic and import prices over the period 1980-2017. The empirical results reveal that there exists a long run relationship between imports, income, domestic and import prices. In both the long and short run, imports are positively related to real income and domestic prices, and negatively related to foreign prices. The demand for imports is found to respond much more strongly to changes in domestic price rather than income and import price. The study also shows that the assumption of price homogeneity does not hold, implying that the relative price formulation of import demand function is inappropriate in the case of Cote d’Ivoire.

description: Motivated by recent observation of nematicity in Moiré systems, we study three different orbital orders that potentially can happen in Moiré systems: (1) the nematic order; (2) the valley polarization; and (3) the "compass order". Each order parameter spontaneously breaks part of the spatial symmetries of the system. We explore physics caused by the quantum fluctuations close to the order-disorder transition of these order parameters. Especially, we recognize that the symmetry of the Moiré systems leads to a crucial difference of the effective theory describing the nematic order from the standard Hertz-Millis formalism. We demonstrate that this key difference may lead to a special non-Fermi liquid behavior near the order-disorder nematic transition, different from the standard non-Fermi liquid behavior usually expected when a Fermi surface is coupled to the critical fluctuations of orbital orders. We also discuss the interplay of the three order parameters and the possible rich phase diagram at finite temperature. Within the three orbital orders, the valley polarization and the "compass order" likely strongly compete with the superconductor.

description: The application of a bundling technique to model the diverse charge states of tungsten impurity species in total-f gyrokinetic simulations is demonstrated. The gyrokinetic bundling method strategically groups tungsten ions of similar charge, optimizing computational efficiency. The initial radial configuration of these bundles and their respective charges are derived from a coronal approximation and the quasi-neutrality of the plasma. A low-density JET H-mode like plasma is simulated using the neoclassical version of XGC across the entire plasma volume, spanning from the magnetic axis to the divertor. An accumulation of tungsten is observed at the pedestal top, as a result of low-Z tungsten ions moving inward from the scrape-off-layer (SOL) into the core region and high-Z tungsten ions moving outward from the core into the pedestal. This organization of the fluxes cannot be captured by a single tungsten-ion simulation. Large up-down poloidal asymmetries of tungsten form in the pedestal and strongly influence the direction of neoclassical fluxes. The temperature screening effect and its correlation with asymmetries is analyzed.

description: We show that the covariant Raychaudhuri identity describing kinematic characteristics of space-time admits a representation involving a geometrical scalar $ξ$ which, depending on circumstances, might be related to, e.g., relativistic temperature or cosmological scalar field. With an appropriately chosen spacetime deformation tensor (fixing the symmetry of a problem under consideration), such scalarization opens a wide scope for physical applications. We consider few such applications including dynamics of cosmological (anti)scalar background, non-variational deduction of the field equations, scalar and black-hole thermodynamics and the reshaping of the Einstein equations into the Klein-Gordon equation in thermodynamic Killing space.

description: If a decision problem satisfies Meyer's location-scale condition, then any utility-representable preferences are also representable by a mean standard deviation utility function. The properties of this function are inferred from common assumptions concerning the individual's risk preferences, without relying on the expected utility model or any of its substitutes.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: After proving a multi-dimensional extension of Zalcman's renormalization lemma and considering maximality problems about dimensions, we find renormalizing polynomial families for iterated elementary mappings, extending this result to some kinds of correspondences (by means of 'algebraic' renormalizing families) and to the family of the iterated mappings of an automorphism of $\CI^2$ admitting a repulsive fixed point (by means of a family of polunomial automorphisms composed with a Fatou-Bieberbach one). All families will allow maximal-dimension renormalizations.

description: Financial distress is a stage of decline in financial conditions experienced by a company before going bankrupt. This phenomenon in Indonesia in recent years since 2016 shows more and more companies are experiencing bankruptcy. The purpose of this study is to know what are the factors causing it using discriminant analysis. The population of this study is issuers in sub-sector wholesale listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange 2010-2015 period. Results showed that all four variables those are leverage, activity, liquidity, and profitability have significance values and able to explain 72.42% of the variation distress and non-distress. The accuracy of the model is 96.8% on distinguishing companies that experience financial-distress with non-distress. Overall this research model is reliable and valid to be used for forecasting companies that will experience bankruptcy.
