Can We Determine Debt To Equity Levels In Non-Profit Organisations? Answer Based On Polish Case
Creators: name: Michalski, Grzegorz
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2020
Subjects: Economics

description: The goal of the article is to find the answer whether it is possible to propose a model for fixing the best debt levels in the capital structure of non-profit organisations. Capital structure is an indicator that corroborates the level of financial risk. Non-profit organisations are an essential part of the general social policy. When considering the efficiency of non-profit entities from a donor perspective, it is important to take into account the way management uses the resources of a non-profit organisation as well as efficiency of that management activity. Non-profit organisation efficiency should be considered in the context of risk. One of the most important ways to increase probability to face financial distress is too high debt to equity relation. The paper illustrates the relationship between debt and equity in 1,560 Polish non-profit entities. The model which can fix optimal capital structure for a non-profit organisation in its current environment was delivered. The proposal of the paper includes a model which helps to find the optimal level of debt for non-profit organisation environmental conditions. The novelty of the model is based on the full costs of debt financing non-profit entities in the context of donor expectations, which in the Polish social and economic environment means that costs indirectly linked with the realisation of the main aim of the social entity cannot be higher than 10 % of the collected money sources. An additional point of our findings is that in comparison with the current state, Polish non-profit organisations need to improve their way of fixing capital structure.

description: We report the observation of microwave coherent control of rotational states of ultracold $^{85}$Rb$^{133}$Cs molecules formed in their vibronic ground state by short-range photoassociation. Molecules are formed in the single rotational state $X(v=0,J=1)$ by exciting pairs of atoms to the short-range state $(2)^{3}Π_{0^{-}} (v=11, J=0)$, followed by spontaneous decay. We use depletion spectroscopy to record the dynamic evolution of the population distribution and observe clear Rabi oscillations while irradiating on a microwave transition between coupled neighbouring rotational levels. A density-matrix formalism that accounts for longitudinal and transverse decay times reproduces both the dynamic evolution during the coherent process and the equilibrium population. The coherent control reported here is valuable both for investigating coherent quantum effects and for applications of cold polar molecules produced by continuous short-range photoassociation.

Investigating the impact of radio-wave propagation effects on observed radio properties
Creators: name: Chrysaphi, Nicolina
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: Radio emissions excited in the solar corona are used to extract information on the local coronal conditions, including at heights that cannot be probed in situ. However, radio-wave propagation effects distort the intrinsic radio source properties in a frequency-dependent manner, to the extent that, what is observed is severely altered compared to the true source properties. Recent instrumental advances allowed for the observation and imaging of fine structures of solar radio bursts at sub-second scales, challenging and improving the understanding of radio-wave propagation effects. Using observations with LOFAR, we demonstrate that scattering is the dominant radio-wave propagation effect, and that several observed properties can only be simultaneously reproduced if anisotropic scattering is considered, contrary to previous understanding. Sub-second properties of both the fundamental and harmonic radio sources are also simultaneously reproduced for the first time. Combining LOFAR observations with those of spacecraft, like Solar Orbiter, enables a multi-vantage assessment of the radio emissions. Such measurements allow for an estimation of the anisotropy of the density fluctuations, improving our understanding of radio-wave propagation effects and the ability to simulate radio observations. Thus, the contribution of propagation effects can be decoupled from the observed properties with a higher accuracy, obtaining the true emission properties.

description: In comparison to the conventional complementary pull-up and pull-down logic structure, the pass transistor logic (PTL) family reduces the number of transistors required to perform logic functions, thereby reducing both area and power consumption. However, this logic family requires inter-stage inverters to ensure signal integrity in cascaded logic circuits, and inverters must be used to provide each logical input signal in its complementary form. These inverters and complementary signals increase the device count and significantly degrade overall system efficiency. Dual-gate ambipolar field-effect transistors natively provide a single-transistor XNOR operation and permit highly-efficient and compact circuits due to their ambipolar capabilities. Similar to PTL, logic circuits based on ambipolar field-effect transistors require complementary signals. Therefore, numerous inverters are required, with significant energy and area costs. Ambipolar field-effect transistors are a natural match for PTL, as hybrid ambipolar-PTL circuits can simultaneously use these inverters to satisfy their necessity in both PTL and ambipolar circuits. We therefore propose a new hybrid ambipolar-PTL logic family that exploits the compact logic of PTL and the ambipolar capabilities of ambipolar field-effect transistors. Novel hybrid ambipolar-PTL circuits were designed and simulated in SPICE, demonstrating strong signal integrity along with the efficiency advantages of using the required inverters to simultaneously satisfy the requirements of PTL and ambipolar circuits. In comparison to the ambipolar field-effect transistors in the conventional CMOS logic structure, our hybrid full adder circuit can reduce propagation delay by 47%, energy consumption by 88%, energy-delay product by a factor of 9, and area-energy-delay product by a factor of 20.

description: We calculate the most general causal N=1 three-dimensional, gauge invariant action coupled to matter in superspace and derive its component form using Ectoplasmic integration theory. One example of such an action can be obtained by compactifying M-theory on a Spin(7) holonomy manifold taking non-vanishing fluxes into account. We show that the resulting three-dimensional theory is in agreement with the more general construction. The scalar potential resulting from Kaluza-Klein compactification stabilizes all the moduli fields describing deformations of the metric except for the radial modulus. This potential can be written in terms of the superpotential previously discussed in the literature.

description: We present evidence of the co-existence of either an AGN or an ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX), together with a young super stellar cluster in the 3 central parsecs of NGC4303. The galaxy contains a low luminosity AGN and hosts a number of starburst regions in a circumnuclear spiral, as well as in the nucleus itself. A high spatial resolution Chandra image of this source reveals that the soft X-ray emission traces the ultraviolet nuclear spiral down to a core, which is unresolved both in soft and hard X-rays. The astrometry of the X-ray core coincides with the UV core within the Chandra positioning accuracy. The total X-ray luminosity of the core, 1.5*10^{39} erg/s, is similar to that from some LINERs or from the weakest Seyferts detected so far. The soft X-rays in both the core and the extended structure surrounding it can be well reproduced by evolutionary synthesis models (which include the emission expected from single stars, the hot diffuse gas, supernova remnants and binary systems), consistent with the properties of the young stellar clusters identified in the UV. The hard X-ray tail detected in the core spectrum, however, most likely requires the presence of an additional source. This additional source could either be a weak active nucleus black hole or an ultraluminous X-ray object. The implications of these results are discussed.

description: The nutritional status’ of twelve toddlers from Chuva Daycare were assessed using dietary and ecological methods. Assessment methods included a five day food record, a staff nutrition survey, and qualitative observations collected during one morning snack session. Based on data collected from the dietary assessment, we did not find a significant nutritional concern in terms of excessive carbohydrate or caloric intake. Food records and observations showed that the servings and food groups of the snacks provided appropriately adhered to the Canada’s Food Guide for children under the age of three. Based on the nutritional survey, we recognize that the staff are giving their best efforts to ensure that healthy snacks are available and accessible to the children in consideration with ecological factors. We observed the presence of certain food aversions as a result of pickiness and disinterest, and diagnosed that this could prevent children from consuming optimal quantities of fruits and vegetables. We constructed the following PES statement: sub-optimal fruit and vegetable intake from snacks related to lack of appeal and disinterest derived from the taste and textures of certain fruits and vegetables as evidenced by observations of eating patterns and reported child pickiness. We suggest three research-based interventions that address our findings. The first strategy, which can produce results in the short term, is strategic pairing. It is implemented by serving snacks together that are similar in popularity to encourage consumption of both snacks. The second strategy can be employed in the long-term, which is to plan multiple re-exposures to new or initially unpopular types of snacks in order to promote eventual acceptance. The third strategy is to reduce portion sizes to generate a sense of autonomy and control in the child when he or she is able to successfully finish their plate and ask for seconds. Supporting resources were also provided to the daycare staff in the form of a brochure containing a variety of snack ideas for each food group and suggestions on how to integrate these into the children’s diets.

 Remarks: Marshall et al.

In some areas of the northern Atlantic, including the Bahamas, it occurs together with the circumtropical Manta birostris (Walbaum) but only the "new" species apparently occurs around islands of the Lesser Antilles. Images of mantas from St. Croix look like typical M. birostris. Additional research is required to clarify the taxonomic status of the variant Manta sp. and better determine its ecology and precise distribution. If this manta proves to be a distinct species, the name Manta giorna Lesueur 1824 will probably be used for it.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit thematisiert etablierte Lesarten von Frantz Fanons Werk und hinterfragt diese kritisch. Ausgangspunkt der Betrachtung ist die bestehende Kritik an Auffassungen von Fanon innerhalb der postcolonial studies, derzufolge AutorInnen, die sich in dem Feld verorten, Fanons Werk zur Bekräftigung eigener Positionen instrumentalisieren würden. Dieses Phänomen, das im Diskurs als “the appropriation of Frantz Fanon” bezeichnet wird, gehe mit einer Entkoppelung Fanons von seiner eigenen Biographie einher. Dieser Artikel formuliert einen Entwurf Fanons, welcher sich strikt an seiner Biographie orientiert und stellt diesen anderen, ahistorischen und “entzeitlichten” Deutungen Fanons gegenüber. Anhand dieses Entwurfs, welcher den Anspruch erhebt, einen singulären, historischen Fanon abzubilden, dekonstruiert der vorliegende Beitrag sowohl den Mythos von Frantz Fanon als Apologet der Gewalt als auch seine Rolle als Postkolonialist avant la lettre.

description: We investigate the wavepacket spreading after a single spin flip in prototypical two-dimensional ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic quantum spin systems. We find characteristic spatial magnon density profiles: While the ferromagnet shows a square-shaped pattern reflecting the underlying lattice structure, as exhibited by quantum walkers, the antiferromagnet shows a circular-shaped pattern which hides the lattice structure and instead resembles a classical wave pattern. We trace these fundamentally different behaviors back to the distinctly different magnon energy-momentum dispersion relations and also provide a real-space interpretation. Our findings point to new opportunities for real-time, real-space imaging of quantum magnets both in materials science and in quantum simulators.

description: The study looked into the stochastic properties of CPI-inflation rate for Nigeria from 1995Q1 to 2016Q4. The study employed an autoregressive fractionally integrated moving average and a general autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARFIMA-GARCH) methodology as well as ADF/KPSS to investigate the long-memory properties of CPI-Inflation for Nigeria. The study found that CPI-inflation in Nigeria is shock dissipating at a geometric rate (fast mean reverting ability). The ARFIMA-GARCH process showed that CPI inflation in Nigeria is a heteroskedastic fractionally integrated process with quick mean reverting ability. The study therefore concludes that shocks to CPI-inflation in Nigeria such as sudden hikes in prices of energy products will not cause a permanent change in general price level but will eventually return to its mean state, and therefore having an implication for the Inflation-Unemployment tradeoff of the Philips curve.

InIndia especially rural marketing is gaining more andmore importance day by day as reforms inagricultural sectors have highlighted the availabilityof huge untapped potential, which attracts marketersfrom India as well as MNCs in India selling theirproducts and services in urban areas. This has alsobeen supported by the infrastructure to go rural andmarket. Any strategy among the business levelstrategies would focus on accessibility, affordabilityand availability. There is a need to be more attentiveso that the uncertainty reduction in management ofthis market place can be achieved with the marketresearch. Moreover it has been observed that theprice elasticity in such markets is highly dominatingother elastics. Hence there is no second thought thatthe division is visible between rural Indian marketand urban Indian market. This article tries toexamine differential suitable strategies and theirscope for rural marketing and to highlight the issuesand challenges with the current and commonly usedgeneric strategies in rural marketing.

description: We present the first ab initio calculations for open-shell nuclei past the tin isotopic line, focusing on Xe isotopes as well as doubly-magic Sn isotopes. We show that, even for moderately hard interactions, it is possible to obtain meaningful predictions and that the NNLOsat chiral interaction predicts radii and charge density distributions close to the experiment. We then make a new prediction for ${}^{100}$Sn. This paves the way for ab initio studies of exotic charge density distributions at the limit of the present ab initio mass domain, where experimental data is becoming available. The present study closes the gap between the largest isotopes reachable by ab initio methods and the smallest exotic nuclei accessible to electron scattering experiments.

description: Previous studies indicate that under-five mortality rates have remained stagnant and Uganda failed to meet the Millennium Development Goals target and hence unlikely to achieve Sustainable Development Goals. Although effective health reforms and programs such as the Immunization Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI), and Home Based Management of Fever (HBMF) and increasing health expenditure were undertaken since1990s, health outcomes especially under-five mortality rates have remained poor. Uganda’s under-five mortality rate has remained high that is 68 per 1000 live birth in relation to MDGs target 56 per 1000 live birth in 2014 .The MDGs assessment report by United Nation Development Programme (UNDP) shows that the low level of public health expenditure is a major factor determining poor child health outcomes in Uganda. However empirical evidence on the health expenditure and its effect on under-five mortality rate have remained inconclusive. Simple Ordinary least squares (OLS) method was used to investigate the relationship between public health spending and under-five mortality rate. The results revealed that recurrent health expenditure, capital health expenditure, women literacy rate and percentage of population living in urban areas are strongly associated with under-five mortality rate. The study therefore recommends that the government should increase health spending per capita in relation to the increase in population and increase accessibility to education for the girl child.

description: We generalize the classical study of Alexander polynomials of smooth or PL locally-flat knots to PL knots that are not necessarily locally-flat. We introduce three families of generalized Alexander polynomials and study their properties. For knots with point singularities, we obtain a classification of these polynomials that is complete except for one special low-dimensional case. This classification extends existing classifications for PL locally-flat knots. For knots with higher-dimensional singularities, we further extend the necessary conditions on the invariants. We also construct several varieties of singular knots to demonstrate realizability of certain families of polynomials as generalized Alexander polynomials. These constructions, of independent interest, generalize known knot constructions such as frame spinning and twist spinning.

description: Digital Marketing is rapidly occupying the space on business planet; business has been all about the creation of fresh and untapped potential in either existing market or in new market, there is no doubt that there exist a reason behind every change and when it is about positive change there are drives and initiatives. The drive as an initiative by the Honourable Prime Minister (2015) et. al. indicate the if the entrepreneur is looking for less competitive markets and high profits with rapid growth possibilities then they have to enter or create such environment in which there is altogether new (less developed but promising) infrastructure. I still remember the statement of Honourable Prime Minister which points out that the India will live where from the fibre optic will pass (parallel to the assumption that people will live where there exist a flow of water). This paper is an attempt to find the problems/challenges and prospects in reference with the rural market with special reference to Digital Marketing in India.

description: In this Note a social network model for opinion formation is proposed in which a person connected to $q$ partners pays an {\em attention} $1/q$ to each partner. The mutual attention between two connected persons $i$ and $j$ is taken equal to the geometric mean $1/\sqrt{q_iq_j}$. Opinion is represented as usual by an Ising spin $s=\pm 1$ and mutual attention is given through a two-spin coupling $J_{ij} = J Q/\sqrt{q_iq_j}$, $Q$ being the average connectivity in the network. Connectivity diminishes attention and only persons with low connectivity can pay special attention to each other leading to a durable common (or opposing) opinion. The model is solved in "mean-field" approximation and a critical "temperature" $T_c$ proportional to $JQ$ is found, which is independent of the number of persons $N$, for large $N$.

description: The East African Community partner states aim to establish a Monetary Union by 2023. As advanced by the optimum currency area theory, countries seeking to enter into a monetary union should be as similar as possible to reduce their susceptibility to adverse economic shocks. The East African Monetary Union Protocol signed in 2013 stresses the need for convergence of macroeconomic variables as important preconditions before forming the monetary union. The benchmark macroeconomic indicators include a headline inflation rate of eight per cent, a fiscal deficit of three per cent of the country’s gross domestic product on net present value terms, a debt to gross domestic product ratio of 50 per cent and maintenance of a 4.5 months’ reserves of import cover. Article 82 (1) of the East African Community Treaty also compels partner states to work towards harmonizing their macro-economic policies especially those related to interest and exchange rates, fiscal and monetary policies. However, as argued by many scholars, nominal convergence alone cannot indicate how well countries will perform once they are in a monetary union. The criteria also fail to distinguish the countries that constitute an optimal currency area. An autoregressive distributed model was applied in regression analysis. Empirical findings supported the presence of conditional convergence and that per capita gross domestic product growth was positively influenced by physical capital and nominal exchange rate depreciation and negatively affected by human capital and inflation rate. From the foregoing, it can be concluded that reduction of income differences among the partner states can be fostered through increased investments in physical capital, maintenance of a competitive exchange rate regime and a low inflation rate regime.

description: This manuscript is an updated version of Kalogera et al. (2004) published in ApJ Letters to correct our calculation of the Galactic DNS in-spiral rate. The details of the original erratum submitted to ApJ Letters are given in page 6 of this manuscript. We report on the newly increased event rates due to the recent discovery of the highly relativistic binary pulsar J0737--3039 (Burgay et al. 2003). Using a rigorous statistical method, we present the calculations reported by Burgay et al., which produce a in-spiral rate for Galactic double neutron star (DNS) systems that is higher by a factor of 5-7 compared to estimates made prior to the new discovery. Our method takes into account known pulsar-survey selection effects and biases due to small-number statistics. This rate increase has dramatic implications for gravitational wave detectors. For the initial Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors, the most probable detection rates for DNS in-spirals are one event per 10-630 yr; at 95% confidence, we obtain rates up to one per 3 yr. For the advanced LIGO detectors, the most probable rates are 10-500 events per year. These predictions, for the first time, bring the expectations for DNS detections by the initial LIGO detectors to the astrophysically relevant regime. We also use our models to predict that the large-scale Parkes Multibeam pulsar survey with acceleration searches could detect an average of four binary pulsars similar to those known at present.

description: One of the most computationally challenging problems expected for the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) is finding and fitting particle tracks during event reconstruction. Algorithms used at the LHC today rely on Kalman filtering, which builds physical trajectories incrementally while incorporating material effects and error estimation. Recognizing the need for faster computational throughput, we have adapted Kalman-filter-based methods for highly parallel, many-core SIMD and SIMT architectures that are now prevalent in high-performance hardware. Previously we observed significant parallel speedups, with physics performance comparable to CMS standard tracking, on Intel Xeon, Intel Xeon Phi, and (to a limited extent) NVIDIA GPUs. While early tests were based on artificial events occurring inside an idealized barrel detector, we showed subsequently that our mkFit software builds tracks successfully from complex simulated events (including detector pileup) occurring inside a geometrically accurate representation of the CMS-2017 tracker. Here, we report on advances in both the computational and physics performance of mkFit, as well as progress toward integration with CMS production software. Recently we have improved the overall efficiency of the algorithm by preserving short track candidates at a relatively early stage rather than attempting to extend them over many layers. Moreover, mkFit formerly produced an excess of duplicate tracks; these are now explicitly removed in an additional processing step. We demonstrate that with these enhancements, mkFit becomes a suitable choice for the first iteration of CMS tracking, and eventually for later iterations as well. We plan to test this capability in the CMS High Level Trigger during Run 3 of the LHC, with an ultimate goal of using it in both the CMS HLT and offline reconstruction for the HL-LHC CMS tracker.

description: This study examined how enhancing the agricultural value chain can contribute to rapid economic diversification in Nigeria within the period of 1981-2015. The autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model was employed as the econometric method of estimation. The inferences were drawn at 5% significant level. The result revealed that the agriculture expenditure had positive and significant impact on agriculture sector productivity in Nigeria. The findings showed that agricultural raw material, agricultural machinery and agricultural land have direct impact on agricultural productivity in Nigeria. Agricultural machinery and agricultural land were found to be statistically significant at 5% significance level. The empirical results revealed that capital and labour have direct impact on economic growth. However, agriculture productivity had positive impact on economic growth in Nigeria. The study concluded that agricultural value chain contributed significantly to the diversification of the Nigerian economy. The study suggests that government should make deliberate efforts to create institutions that will make policy programmes on agricultural development not only to enhance its growth and the overall output growth but also make it inclusive.

description: We report detailed shape measurements of the tips of three-dimensional ammonium chloride dendrites grown from supersaturated aqueous solution. For growth at small supersaturation, we compare two different models: parabolic with a fourth-order correction, and power law. Neither is ideal, but the fourth-order fit appears to provide the most robust description of both the tip shape and position for this material. For that fit, the magnitude of the fourth-order coefficient is about half of the theoretically expected value.
