REQUIREMENTS FOR CAPITAL ADEQUACY OF COMMERCIAL BANKS AND METHODOLOGY OF ANALYSIS
Creators: name: Atamuradov Bozorboy Berdimuratovich
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The purpose of the article was to study the significance of capital adequacy requirements within the Basel III framework for commercial banks in Kenya. A descriptive survey design was used for a population consisting of 43 commercial banks operating in Kenya. The target population consisted of 159 management staff working in the head offices of various commercial banks in Kenya. The population included senior, middle, and junior/entry-level management staff. A sample of 30% was selected from each group. Primary data were collected using questionnaires, which were delivered to the banks' head offices and collected later once the respondents had filled them out. Descriptive analysis was used for analyzing quantitative data, while content analysis was employed for qualitative data. The study confirms that capital adequacy requirements are important for commercial banks. The study also shows that financial stability, credit risk management, reduced vulnerability to liquidity shocks, balance sheet structure, and deposit insurance affect the capital requirements of commercial banks in Kenya. Moreover, the study concludes that Basel III increases capital requirements for counterparty credit risk arising from derivatives, repurchase agreements, and securities financing activities. This study recommends that banks ensure flexible Basel III management expertise that provides speed, accuracy, and efficiency to achieve a competitive advantage.

This article explains on how does Islamic perspective in handle and solving the issue arises in environment and ecology. The article starts by giving definition on the world view from the glass of Islamic and western doctrine and understanding on environment. Next the article explains on why does human has the responsibility on governs the nature and should not make no harm upon the environment. Environmentalethic that the western civilization practices reflects the action that the western people do when dealing with the environment. Islamic perspective seems to be the best alternative in dealing and helping the nature to heal from the corruption that it faced. In conclusion the article hopes that, Islamic approach for environment issue method can be one of the choice in future in order to settle or drafting the policy.

description: Past work-family research has focused on the general antecedents and outcomes associated with work-family conflict. Recent research has demonstrated that certain individual differences predispose some to experience more work-family conflict. In addition, there is a growing recognition that research needs to move beyond explaining only the causes and effects of work-family conflict and should consider strategies for coping with conflict. The proposed research addressed these gaps in the work-family literature by examining the relationships between the Big Five factors of personality, proactive personality, problem-focused coping, and work-family conflict. This study analyzed a sample of 178 employees from a mid-sized financial service organization. A structural equation model examined the mediational effects of problem-focused coping on the relationships between personality factors and work-family conflict. Results indicated that problem-focused coping does not partially mediate the relationship between personality and work-family conflict. Further research is needed to develop a more reliable measure of problem-focused coping as well as to replicate these findings.

description: This thesis strives to theorize and empirically investigate the relationship between the institutional environment of multinational enterprises (MNEs) and their engagement in policymaking for environmental sustainability, as well as their environmental performance. Along with institutional theory, we utilize Giddens’s structuration theory to develop our hypotheses. The thesis consists of three main objectives. Objective I (one) involves a systematic literature review to identify existing gaps. The review reveals two sets of findings that serve as the foundation for defining Objectives II and III, as well as subsequent empirical studies to address those objectives. The first set includes research gaps identified from inconsistencies in the results of prior research. The second set encompasses areas that appear underdeveloped and require further research. Filling those research gaps will shape our contribution to the scholarship. Objective II aims to empirically explore the relationship between institutional pressures and MNEs' climate policy engagement. The study investigates how institutional forces in both home and host countries influence MNEs' approach to environmental governance. Our findings suggest that normative forces significantly influence MNE policy engagement. However, the study does not find a significant statistical support for regulative and mimetic forces. Objective III is set to examine the impact of institutional pressures on MNEs' environmental performance, particularly in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The study reveals that the density of NGOs in the MNE's home country is pivotal in positively affecting their environmental performance. Additionally, regulative forces in both home and host countries positively influence MNE environmental performance. Conversely, home-country institutional voids negatively impact MNE environmental performance. Notably, primary industry and total fossil fuel subsidies per GDP (as control variables) do not significantly influence MNE environmental performance. Hierarchical multiple binary logistic regression is our primary statistical tool in both empirical studies. An extended abstract is available after the table of content.

description: Stroke is a disturbance in blood supply to the brain resulting in the loss of brain functions, particularly motor function. A study was conducted by the UCI Neurorehabilitation Lab to investigate the impact of stroke on motor-related brain regions. Functional MRI (fMRI) data were collected from stroke patients and healthy controls while the subjects performed a simple motor task. In addition to affecting local neuronal activation strength, stroke might also alter communications (i.e., connectivity) between brain regions. We develop a hierarchical Bayesian modeling approach for the analysis of multi-subject fMRI data that allows us to explore brain changes due to stroke. Our approach simultaneously estimates activation and condition-specific connectivity at the group level, and provides estimates for region/subject-specific hemodynamic response functions. Moreover, our model uses spike-and-slab priors to allow for direct posterior inference on the connectivity network. Our results indicate that motor-control regions show greater activation in the unaffected hemisphere and the midline surface in stroke patients than those same regions in healthy controls during the simple motor task. We also note increased connectivity within secondary motor regions in stroke subjects. These findings provide insight into altered neural correlates of movement in subjects who suffered a stroke.

description: The so-called ‘gauge problem’, due to the non-uniqueness of exchange-energy densities, is a fundamental challenge for density functionals depending on these energy densities, such as local hybrid functionals. We have recently demonstrated how gauge effects influence the potential-energy curves of the argon dimer, and other quantities depending on ‘non-physical’ Pauli repulsions introduced by incompatible gauges of (semi-)local and exact-exchange energy densities . Introduction of suitable calibration functions depending only on semi-local quantities allowed to correct for these deficiencies and suggested ways to obtain more accurate local hybrid functionals beyond the local spin density approximation (LSDA) exchange-energy density. Here we extend the study of the gauge problem by comparing a number of uncalibrated and calibrated local hybrids for (1) the potential-energy curves of further noble-gas dimers and (2) for the entire GMTKN30 test set and its individual subsets. We find that DFT-D3 dispersion corrections fitted to be compatible with uncalibrated local hybrids have to correct not only for missing London dispersion but also for gauge artefacts that make weak interactions too repulsive. This burden is taken away when using properly calibrated local hybrids, which perform much better for dispersion-sensitive quantities already without D3 corrections, and which require only the physically relevant dispersion to be corrected for. The present results suggest directions for further improvement of calibration functions for local hybrids.

description: Depth filtration with microporous membranes has been modelled by extending upon previous approaches of Polyakov[1–4] to incorporate pore size distribution, tortuosity, and cake buildup. The model-forecasts were benchmarked against filtration measurements performed with colloidal particles using three very different commercial membrane morphologies with the same nominal average pore size. The critical flux for each membrane was determined by a standard flux-stepping method. Particle retention and permeance were studied under constant flux or transmembrane pressure test conditions. Comparison of the forecast results with data shows reasonable qualitative agreement, but the results are very sensitive to the measurement uncertainties of the various properties.

description: Objective: To determine the assessment methods for upper limb (UL) associated reactions (ARs) in people with acquired brain injury (ABI). Methods: A systematic search of 10 databases was performed for Stage 1 to identify methods that quantify ARs of the hemiplegic UL. Stage 2 searched four databases to examine the clinimetric properties and clinical utility of these methods. Two independent reviewers identified relevant articles, extracted data, assessed study methodological quality and rated the clinimetric properties and clinical utility. Results: Eighteen articles were included. The methods used to evaluate ARs were surface electromyography (11), goniometry (5), dynamometry (5), electrogoniometry (1), subjective clinician (2) and patient rating forms (2). Electromyography, electrogoniometry and dynamometry implemented stationary, seated positions using maximal voluntary contractions of the less impaired UL as the provocative task. Standard goniometry most frequently tested ARs dynamically, using a mobility task to provoke the AR. There was limited clinimetric data available. Only half of the assessment methods were deemed clinically feasible. The most common methods were laboratory-based. Conclusion: There were a limited number of methods used to assess ARs in people with ABI and the measurement properties of these outcomes were largely unreported. No gold standard was identified.

description: Select volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were measured in the vicinity of a petroleum refinery and related operations in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, using passive air sampling and laboratory analysis methods. Two-week, time-integrated samplers were deployed at 17 sites, which were aggregated into five site groups of varying distances from the refinery. Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene isomers (BTEX) and styrene concentrations were higher near the refinery’s fenceline than for groups at the refinery’s south edge, mid-distance, and farther removed locations. The near fenceline group was significantly higher than the refinery’s north edge group for benzene and toluene but not for ethylbenzene or xylene isomers; styrene was lower at the near fenceline group versus the north edge group. For BTEX and styrene, the magnitude of estimated differences generally increased when proceeding through groups ever farther away from the petroleum refining. Perchloroethylene results were not suggestive of an influence from refining. These results suggest that emissions from the refinery complex contribute to higher concentrations of BTEX species and styrene in the vicinity of the plant, with this influence declining as distance from the petroleum refining increases. Implications: Passive sampling methodology for VOCs as discussed here is employed in recently enacted U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Methods 325A/B for determination of benzene concentrations at refinery fenceline locations. Spatial gradients of VOC concentration near the refinery fenceline were discerned in an area containing traffic and other VOC-related sources. Though limited, these findings can be useful in application of the method at such facilities to ascertain source influence.

description: We provide a simple framework for diagnosing the impairment of stream water temperature for coldwater fishes across broad spatial extents based on a weight-of-evidence approach that integrates biological criteria, species distribution models, and geostatistical models of stream temperature. As a test case, we applied our approach to identify stream reaches most likely to be thermally impaired for Lahontan Cutthroat Trout Oncorhynchus clarkii henshawi in the upper Reese River, located in the northern Great Basin, Nevada. We first evaluated the capability of stream thermal regime descriptors to explain variation across 170 sites, and we found that the 7-d moving average of daily maximum stream temperatures (7DADM) provided minimal among-descriptor redundancy and, based on an upper threshold of 20°C, was also a good indicator of acute and chronic thermal stress. Next, we quantified the range of Lahontan Cutthroat Trout within our study area using a geographic distribution model. Finally, we used a geostatistical model to assess spatial variation in 7DADM and predict potential thermal impairment at the stream reach scale. We found that whereas 38% of reaches in our study area exceeded a 7DADM of 20°C and 35% were significantly warmer than predicted, only 17% both exceeded the biological criterion and were significantly warmer than predicted. This filtering allowed us to identify locations where physical and biological impairment were most likely within the network and that would represent the highest management priorities. Although our approach lacks the precision of more comprehensive approaches, it provides a broader context for diagnosing impairment and is a useful means of identifying priorities for more detailed evaluations across broad and heterogeneous stream networks.

description: Physical entanglement, and particularly knots arise spontaneously in equilibrated polymers that are sufficiently long and densely packed. Biopolymers are no exceptions: knots have long been known to occur in proteins as well as in encapsidated viral DNA. The rapidly growing number of RNA structures has recently made it possible to investigate the incidence of physical knots in this type of biomolecule, too. Strikingly, no knots have been found to date in the known RNA structures. In this Point of View Article we discuss the absence of knots in currently available RNAs and consider the reasons why knots in RNA have not yet been found, despite the expectation that they should exist in Nature. We conclude by singling out a number of RNA sequences that, based on the properties of their predicted secondary structures, are good candidates for knotted RNAs.

description: The aim of this research was to identify the sequence of degradation processes that leads to the selective enrichment of microorganisms involved in the degradation of carbon tetrachloride and chloroform under conditions of natural attenuation and lactic acid biostimulation. To this end, a comparative study using microcosm experiments was conducted to analyze these two scenarios. The authors used groundwater and sediment collected from a field site located at a petrochemical complex to create the microcosms. Chemical, compound-specific isotope and microbial analyses were performed. A significant finding of this work was the abiotic degradation of carbon tetrachloride. Another result was the identification of biotic reductive dechlorination of chloroform by a bacterium of the Clostridiales order. This study showed that biostimulation with lactic acid produced faster degradation rates of carbon tetrachloride and chloroform. Lactic acid acted as an electron donor and promoted a decrease in the concentration of other electron acceptors such as nitrate and sulfate, which competed with chloromethanes. Thus, biostimulation could be an efficient remediation strategy for sites contaminated with chloromethanes, especially when a site's complex pollution history results in chemical background concentrations that are high in compounds that could potentially reduce natural attenuation.

description: Automatic audio content analysis is a general research area in which algorithms are developed to allow computer systems to understand the content of digital audio signals for further exploitations. The main focus therein is on the practical applications for audio files management, like automatic labeling, efficient browsing, or the retrieval of relevant files with little effort from a big database. Automatic music structural analysis is a specific subset of audio content analysis in which the domain of audio content is restricted to the semantically meaningful descriptions of audio in a musical context. The main task of automatic music structural analysis is to discover the structure of music by analyzing audio signals in order to facilitate a better handling of the current explosively expanding amounts of audio data available in digital collections. In this research work, we focus our investigation on two areas that are part of audiobased music structural analysis. First, we propose a unique framework and method for temporal audio segmentation at the semantic level. The system aims to detect the structural changes in music to provide a way to separate the different "sections" of a piece according to its structural titles (i.e. intro, verse, chorus, bridge, etc). We present a two-phase music segmentation system together with a combined set of lowlevel audio descriptors to be extracted form the music audio signals. Contrary to existing approaches, we consider the applicability of image processing methods in audio content analysis. A database of 54 audio files (The Beatles' song) is used for the evaluation of the proposed approach on a mainstream popular music collection. The experiment results demonstrate that our proposed algorithm has achieved 71% of accuracy and 79% of reliability in a practical application for identifying structural boundaries in music audio signals. Secondly, we present our proposed framework and approach for the identification of representative excerpts from music audio signals. The system aims to extract a short abstract that serves as a 'hook' or thumbnail of the music and generates a retrieval cue from the original audio files. Instead of simply pursuing the present literature that mainly accentuates the repetitiveness of audio excerpts in the identification task, we also investigate the potential of audio descriptors in capturing specific characteristics of the representative excerpts. A database of 28 music tracks that comprises popular songs from various artists is used to evaluate the performance of our identification system. By integrating musical knowledge in selecting appropriate audio descriptors for the identification task, preliminary quantitative evaluation results show that the overall performance of the content-based approaches has achieved a higher performance rate compared to repetition-based approaches.

description: We studied the response of rotation of spindle ring on energies, aromaticity and quadrupole moment in single-molecule revolving door (S-MERD) by using M05-2X/6-311++G** level of theory. The rotational barrier was considered about the spindle ring from 0° to 180° by 10° intervals. Energies, aromaticity and quadrupole moment values are dependent on the rotation of spindle ring of S-MERD and were plotted as functions of rotation of spindle ring. Rotational barrier of energies, aromaticity and quadrupole moment for all substituents produces a cos2θ function. The nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICS) of spindle ring increase as the spindle ring gradually rotates out of planarity and reach the highest NICS in the perpendicular conformation. For all substituents, the values of quadrupole moment of spindle ring decrease from 0° to 90° and then increase from 90° to 180°.

description: The physical continuity of axons over long cellular distances poses challenges for their maintenance. One organelle that faces this challenge is endoplasmic reticulum (ER); unlike other intracellular organelles, this forms a physically continuous network throughout the cell, with a single membrane and a single lumen. In axons, ER is mainly smooth, forming a tubular network with occasional sheets or cisternae and low amounts of rough ER. It has many potential roles: lipid biosynthesis, glucose homeostasis, a Ca2+ store, protein export, and contacting and regulating other organelles. This tubular network structure is determined by ER-shaping proteins, mutations in some of which are causative for neurodegenerative disorders such as hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP). While axonal ER shares many features with the tubular ER network in other contexts, these features must be adapted to the long and narrow dimensions of axons. ER appears to be physically continuous throughout axons, over distances that are enormous on a subcellular scale. It is therefore a potential channel for long-distance or regional communication within neurons, independent of action potentials or physical transport of cargos, but involving its physiological roles such as Ca2+ or organelle homeostasis. Despite its apparent stability, axonal ER is highly dynamic, showing features like anterograde and retrograde transport, potentially reflecting continuous fusion and breakage of the network. Here we discuss the transport processes that must contribute to this dynamic behavior of ER. We also discuss the model that these processes underpin a homeostatic process that ensures both enough ER to maintain continuity of the network and repair breaks in it, but not too much ER that might disrupt local cellular physiology. Finally, we discuss how failure of ER organization in axons could lead to axon degenerative diseases, and how a requirement for ER continuity could make distal axons most susceptible to degeneration in conditions that disrupt ER continuity.

description: Between 1982 and 2012, larger crop farms were more productive than smaller crop farms in the Heartland region. This productivity gap has widened over time and may have driven the ongoing shift in production to larger farms. Aggregate productivity of Heartland crop farms increased by 64 percent. About one-sixth of this growth was due to a shift in production to larger more productive farms.
Expressive Performance Model for a Singing Voice Synthesizer

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2004

description: This thesis describes the design and implementation of an expressive performance model focused on emotions for a singing voice synthesizer. The resulting model can modify the performance features of a musical fragment in order to simulate different moods or emotions in the performer such as happiness, fear, anger, sadness, etc. The model is based on the rule system developed by Johan Sundberg and Anders Friberg at the KTH university in Stockholm and the results of the research on musical expression and singing voice by Patrik N. Juslin and Petri Laukka from the university of Uppsala, Sweden. The singing voice synthesizer used is Daisy, developed at the Music Technology Group of the University Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona.

description: Genotypes of cereal grains, including winter barley (n = 21), maize (n = 27), oats (n = 14), winter rye (n = 22), winter triticale (n = 21) and winter wheat (n = 29), were assayed for their chemical composition and physical characteristics as part of the collaborative research project referred to as GrainUp. Genotypes of one grain species were grown on the same site, except maize. In general, concentrations of proximate nutrients were not largely different from feed tables. The coefficient of variation (CV) for the ether extract concentration of maize was high because the data pool comprised speciality maize bred for its high oil content. A subset of 8 barley, 20 rye, 20 triticale and 20 wheat samples was analysed to differ significantly in several carbohydrate fractions. Gross energy concentration of cereal grains could be predicted from proximate nutrient concentration with good accuracy. The mean lysine concentration of protein was the highest in oats (4.2 g/16 g N) and the lowest in wheat (2.7 g/16 g N). Significant differences were also detected in the concentrations of macro elements as well as iron, manganese, zinc and copper. Concentrations of arsenic, cadmium and lead were below the limit of detection. The concentration of lower inositol phosphates was low, but some inositol pentaphosphates were detected in all grains. In barley, relatively high inositol tetraphosphate concentration also was found. Intrinsic phytase activity was the highest in rye, followed by triticale, wheat, barley and maize, and it was not detectable in oats. Substantial differences were seen in the thousand seed weight, test weight, falling number and extract viscoelasticity characteristics. The study is a comprehensive overview of the composition of different cereal grain genotypes when grown on the same location. The relevance of the variation in composition for digestibility in different animal species will be subject of other communications.
