Accounting firm partners to public corporation employees: An exploration of implications and responses in a failed accounting company
Creators: name: Pickering, Mark
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Partners of accounting and other professional service firms selling their firms to publicly owned companies often remain with the acquiring company as employees and receive company shares as consideration for their firms. Agency theory suggests public ownership will result in changes to the roles of senior professionals with potential resistance and motivation consequences. This paper explores the implications on former accounting firm partners of becoming employees of a publicly traded accounting corporation, the responses of the former partners and impacts on the acquiring company. This paper uses a case study approach involving the review of publicly available information and interviews with executives and senior professionals of an Australian publicly owned accounting company, Stockford Limited. The Stockford case indicates that selling their firm to a publicly owned company can have significant negative implications for accounting firm partners. The former partners struggled to adapt to their new roles as senior professional employees and shareholders. Their responses had significant impacts on company performance ultimately contributing to the collapse of the company reflecting the power senior professionals retain regardless of the change of ownership form. Care is required generalising findings of a single case to other professions and other geographic jurisdictions. This paper has significant implications for entrepreneurs and executives consolidating professional service firms, partners considering selling their firms and investors in publicly traded professional service companies. Despite the emergence of publicly owned accounting and other professional service companies and the importance and power of senior professionals in professional service firms, this is the first study to explore the implications for senior professionals of selling their firms to public companies.

description: Welchen Stellenwert hat Angehörigenarbeit in der Betreuung und Pflege älterer Menschen in intermediären und stationären Einrichtungen? Inwiefern unterscheiden sich die Bedürfnisse und Erfahrungen aus Sicht von Mitarbeitenden und Angehörigen? Wo finden sich Ansätze für eine gute Zusammenarbeit?
Ausgehend von diesen Fragen wurden je 12 Interviews mit Mitarbeitenden und Angehörigen in 6 Alterseinrichtungen in den Kantonen St. Gallen und Zürich zwischen Mai und Juli 2021 geführt. Diese Gespräche fanden im Anschluss an eine quantitative Umfrage (Baumeister, Strohmeier Navarro Smith & Adili, 2021) in einem von der Paul-Schiller-Stiftung finanzierten laufenden Forschungs- und Entwicklungsprojekt statt, welches durch ein Forschungsteam am Institut Vielfalt und gesellschaftliche Teilhabe am Departement Soziale Arbeit umgesetzt wird. Im folgenden Artikel werden die zentralen Ergebnisse dieser qualitativen Befragung vorgestellt. Aufbauend auf diesen Befunden sollen in einem nächsten Schritt in ausgewählten Institutionen Modellmassnahmen für die Weiterentwicklung der Angehörigenarbeit in intermediären und stationären Alterseinrichtungen erarbeitet werden.
Partnership versus public ownership of accounting firms: exploring relative performance, performance measurement and measurement issues
Creators: name: Pickering, Mark
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Despite theoretical arguments that partnerships are the most efficient ownership form for professional service firms (PSFs), PSFs are increasingly moving to other ownership structures, such as publicly listed companies (PLCs). Research on the comparative performance of PSF, PLCs and partnerships is sparse with conflicting results suggesting that some segments of PSFs are moving to a less efficient form. This study explores the performance of two Australian accounting PLCs compared to a sample of similar sized mid tier accounting firms. The accounting PLCs achieved substantially higher revenue growth rates but lower productivity than the partnership sample. Measurement issues were identified in the use of closing resource numbers and different treatment of reporting merger and acquisition revenues which may partially explain the underperformance of publicly owned PSFs in prior studies. The need for research at a more detailed level exploring the market and service focus, organisational structures, resources utilised and resource costs across different PSF ownership forms is suggested.

title: Assessing the impact of non-tariff measures on international palm oil trade and their linkages with sustainable development goals
Creators: name: Peci, Jurgen
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2026

description: This thesis provides a holistic examination of the role of Non-Tariff Measures (NTMs) in 
shaping the global trade of palm oil, assessing their impact through the lens of Sustainable 
Development Goals (SDGs). It navigates the complexities of the palm oil industry, a sector 
central to global agricultural trade and rife with sustainability challenges. This research 
elucidates how NTMs, employed by importing nations, affect trade dynamics and explores 
whether these regulatory tools are linked to SDGs, particularly in light of environmental 
concerns such as deforestation, thus shedding light on their standard-like role. A significant 
68.6% of total palm oil production is exported, predominantly from Indonesia and Malaysia, 
which jointly account for 84% of these exports. The global reliance on their output, coupled 
with the wide-ranging applications of palm oil, underscores the sector's expansive growth and 
its profound economic, social, and environmental footprint. The thesis identifies a diverse 
array of NTMs applied by key importers, highlighting the nuanced policy landscape that palm 
oil exporters navigate. The study highlights that while private certification schemes like RSPO 
strive to enhance sustainability, their limitations necessitate public policy support, with new 
NTMs, such as those under the EUDR, emerging to strengthen palm oil trade sustainability. A 
quantitative analysis, grounded in the gravity model of international trade, dissects the 
multifaceted impact of NTMs on trade flows. The findings reveal that technical NTMs 
generally hinder trade, whereas non-technical measures may facilitate it. This nuanced 
impact is further influenced by country characteristics such as income level, participation in 
Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs), and accumulated trade experience. In exploring the 
interplay between NTMs and SDGs, the thesis reveals that NTMs linked with SDGs, which 
prioritize food safety and sustainable practices, tend to have a less pronounced negative 
effect on trade when compared to NTMs that lack such a linkage to SDGs. However, it also 
notes a critical gap in current measures: none directly target the environmental and social 
sustainability challenges most pertinent to the palm oil industry, such as deforestation and
biodiversity protection in the environmental sphere, and human and cultural preservation in 
the social one.

description: In dieser Arbeit wurde das Potential verschiedener Unterkühlungsarten in unterschiedlichen Kälteanwendungen untersucht. Die zahlreichen Ergebnisse und Diagramme aus dieser Arbeit ermöglichen dem Leser, die minimal notwendige und die maximal mögliche Unterkühlung der Anlage zu bestimmen und das energetische Einsparpotential der Unterkühlungsart abzuschätzen.
Die Ergebnisse dieser Untersuchung zeigen, dass für die minimale Unterkühlung sowohl die Betriebssicherheit der Anlage als auch das energetische Einsparpotential der Unterkühlungsart betrachtet werden müssen.
Die minimal notwendige Unterkühlung ist wichtig für einen stabilen und sicheren Betrieb und ist abhängig von den Wärmeeinträgen und Druckverlusten zwischen Sammler und Expansionsventil. Dabei sind auch statische/geodätische Höhenunterschiede (z.B. Steigleitungen) zu beachten. Die maximal mögliche Unterkühlung wird durch den Dampfgehalt nach dem Expansionsventil limitiert. Deshalb kann das Kältemittel bei tieferen Verdampfungstemperaturen stärker unterkühlt werden.
Je nach Unterkühlungsart haben unterschiedliche Faktoren einen Einfluss auf die Effizienz. Bei externen Wärmesenken müssen zwingend die benötigten Hilfsenergien berücksichtigt werden. Nur wenn die Effizienz des Gesamtsystems gesteigert werden kann, sind diese Lösungen energetisch sinnvoll. Wird die Unterkühlung durch interne Wärmetauscher erzeugt, haben die saugseitigen Druckverluste einen starken Einfluss auf die Effizienz der Anlage. Nur bei geeignetem Kältemittel und gut dimensioniertem Wärmetauscher wird die Effizienz der Anlage verbessert.
Für eine saisonale Betrachtung des Einsparpotentials ist der Standort der Anlage ebenfalls zu berücksichtigen. Im Anhang sind Gewichtungsfaktoren der Betriebspunkte für verschiedene Städte in der Schweiz ersichtlich.

description: The influence of the cult television series Twin Peaks (1990–1991) can be detected in a wide range of videogames, from adventure, to roleplaying to survival horror titles. While many games variously draw upon the narrative, setting and imagery of the series for inspiration, certain elements of the distinctive uncanniness of Twin Peaks are difficult to translate into gameplay, particularly its ability consistently disrupt the expectations and emotional responses of its audience. This paper examines the ways in which the 2010 survival horror title Deadly Premonition replicates the uncanniness of Twin Peaks in both its narrative and gameplay, noting how it expands upon conceptualizations of the gamerly uncanny. It contends that Deadly Premonition’s awkward recombination of seemingly inconsistent and excessive gameplay features mirrors the ways in which David Lynch and Mark Frost draw upon and subvert audience expectations for police procedurals and soap operas in the original Twin Peaks in order to generate an uncanny effect. Furthermore, Deadly Premonition uses the theme of possession—a central element of the television series—to offer a diegetic exploration of the uncanny relationship between the player and their onscreen avatar. In these regards, Deadly Premonition provides a rare example of how the subversive uncanniness of Twin Peaks can be addressed through gameplay, rather than solely through the game’s narrative or representational elements.

description: The pressing issue of homelessness in Australia is largely caused by a shortage of affordable accommodation. Unexpected results from a study into the experiences of homeless families, however, revealed that many people held the perception that asylum seekers, refugees and migrants are given greater priority by welfare agencies for housing assistance. Analysis of the interview data is used to illustrate how public and political discourses circulating at the time of the interviews may have contributed to these views. The article also discusses the extent to which xenophobia in the Australian community has links with feelings of economic insecurity.

description: Context To determine the effectiveness of software testers a suitable performance appraisal approach is necessary, both for research and practice purposes. However, review of relevant literature reveals little information of how software testers are appraised in practice. Objective (i) To enhance our knowledge of industry practice of performance appraisal of software testers and (ii) to collect feedback from project managers on a proposed performance appraisal form for software testers. Method A web-based survey with questionnaire was used to collect responses. Participants were recruited using cluster and snowball sampling. 18 software development project managers participated. Results We found two broad trends in performance appraisal of software testers - same employee appraisal process for all employees and a specialized performance appraisal method for software testers. Detailed opinions were collected and analyzed on how performance of software testers should be appraised. Our proposed appraisal approach was generally well-received. Conclusion Factors such as number of bugs found after delivery and efficiency of executing test cases were considered important in appraising software testers' performance. Our proposed approach was refined based on the feedback received.

description: With the growth of the software testing industry, many in-house testing groups and outsourcing testing companies have been established. Underlying the success of these testing groups and companies are team(s) of testers. This research investigates the importance of different factors, diversity and experience on building a successful testing team. We collected the opinions of testing practitioners on these factors via a survey. The outcome strongly indicates the relative importance of different factors and that diversity is helpful for a testing team. The results also support the importance of suitable team experience.

description: Understanding fine-scale dynamics of human mobility patterns is pivotal for effective urban planning, public health strategies, and retail analysis. This study introduces a novel mobility measure – the Local Mobility Index (LMI) – combining geometry-based mobility metrics and accessibility measures. The LMI can be considered a measure of ‘relative localness’ by integrating preferences into the assessment of local mobility patterns, offering a novel measure for understanding mobility behavior in urban contexts. The LMI improves upon existing measures as it captures individual choice for local destinations through measuring whether individuals select nearby destinations; accounting for the unequal spatial distribution of urban amenities. Our contribution is mainly methodological, advancing the field by introducing a metric that captures different aspects of mobility compared to conventional mobility metrics. Leveraging mobile-phone-based GPS data, we examine the LMI using 759 individuals across three cities in England. We found that the LMI captures a new and distinct dimension of urban mobility, as evidenced by its weak correlation with established metrics. Therefore, LMI's capacity to highlight previously undetected aspects of mobility behavior, underscores its importance for advancing research and urban planning.

description: Introduction: Health care systems in Europe and beyond face major challenges: an ageing population, an increasing prevalence of chronic illness and multimorbidity, and an increasing shortage of health professionals, including OTs. The challenge is particularly great in outpatient care for the elderly where OTs play an important role in providing outpatient rehabilitation and enabling clients to stay independent as long as possible. Innovative models of interprofessional collaboration in community-based care of elderly people may offer new approaches towards these challenges.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the perspectives of OTs as well as other stakeholders on current challenges and possible solutions in the community-based care of elderly people. Furthermore, it explored the feasibility and acceptability of innovative models of interprofessional collaboration in community care.

Approach: Four focus groups with OTs, PTs, senior citizens, and other stakeholders from community care were held. The data was analyzed using qualitative methods. 

Results: Results showed a shortage of OT services as well as a lack of care coordination and mutual treatment goals in community care. OT’s were open towards new and innovative models of care provision and closer interprofessional collaboration. They were also in favor of closer collaboration with professionals from the social system. They felt that OTs should take an active part in the change process and that their professional independence must be maintained. 

Conclusion: OTs want to play an active role in reforms in community care however, additional funding, support, and resources are needed for doing so.

Controlling and detecting thermal radiation has relevance in modern-world applications, ranging from high temperature thermal barriers used on airplanes to protect the turbines from overheating to energy conversion devices being improved with advances in solar cell design.Control over the thermal radiation is achieved through the understanding of what the desired properties will be and then designing a material system that can fulfill the users’ criteria. The criteria that can be controlled vary depending on application and can range from having a broadband polarized emission, to having selective narrowband circular polarized emission at specific angles. The more distinctive the properties, the more degrees of control are needed to accomplish it. We will introduce the concept of symmetries of material systems that, when broken, allow for additional degrees of freedom to control the thermal radiation. We will also discuss how we perform the measurements, to demonstrate the methods used to verify that our control of the thermal radiation was valid. A spin-polarized angle-resolved spectroscopy (SPARTES) setup is used for the measurements to substantiate the claim that we can design structures that control their wavelength, angles of emission and polarization properties.Thermal metamaterials designs are a great interest in high temperature applications. We explore various structured material surfaces that maintain their selective angular emission properties even when raised to high temperatures. Using different structures and materials, it is clear that our thermal radiation can be engineered to elicit different spectral responses at selective angles.To explore the limits of our control, we observe the photon spin characteristics of thermal radiation. In general, objects in nature have little to no spin angular momentum. However, we can engineer a symmetry-broken metasurface that demonstrates this generation of circular polarized thermal emission without the presence of magnetic fields with high selectivity. We focus here on the affect that symmetry has on the spin-dependent polarization properties and how symmetry is a good metric to focus on when controlling the temporal, spatial and spin coherence of thermal radiation.

description: Das von swissuniversities geförderte Projekt GOAL fungiert als Drehscheibe in einem Netzwerk, das unterschiedliche Akteure (Autor:innen, Bibliotheken, Herausgeber:innen) zusammen- und verschiedene Kollaborationen voranbringt: Die Kooperation zwischen Menschen und zwischen Maschinen wird gefördert und es sollen kollaborative Strukturen entstehen. 
Ziel des Projekts ist es, Verlage zu kontaktieren und diese bei der Erstellung und Implementierung einer Green Policy zu unterstützen. Der Blick wird auf die Publikationslandschaft von FH’s und PH’s gerichtet. Häufiger als an Universitäten wird hier in Fachmedien und landessprachlichen Zeitschriften publiziert. Die jeweiligen Geschäftsmodelle sind jedoch schlecht mit einer Umstellung auf Gold Open Access vereinbar.
Mit dem gezielten Fokus auf den Green-Open-Acess-Weg wird eine nachhaltige Lösung für alle involvierten Akteure gesucht, die helfen soll, das Ziel der nationalen Open Access Strategie der Schweiz zu erreichen; d. h. bis Ende 2024 100% der öffentlich geförderten, wissenschaftlichen Publikationen im Open Access (OA) verfügbar zu machen.

description: Objective: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) represents a major public health issue with a broad range of negative outcomes for the affected individuals and with a serious social and financial burden to families and society. More than 50% of children with ADHD suffer from impaired handwriting (HW). Impaired HW and fine motor (FM) skills lead to emotional frustration and interfere with the ability to demonstrate knowledge or complete school work. Given this importance of FM and HW skills, reliable, valid and easily applicable methods to measure these skills are particularly relevant. Digital innovations offer opportunities to address this problem. A promising tool are digital pens that can measure graphomotor parameters such as stroke size pressure and writing speed. This pilot study aims to test the feasibility of automatically assessing HW and visuo-motor skills via digital pens and to investigate differences in graphomotor parameters between children with and without an ADHD diagnosis.

Method: In this cross-sectional-case-control-study, 31 children with ADHD (𝑛𝐴𝐷𝐻𝐷=15) and without ADHD (𝑛𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑙=16) aged between 8 and 12 years were recruited. All children completed a paper-pencil test measuring FM skills (Beery-VMI) and a HW test (SOS-2) where the children had to copy a given text using a digital pen. Using adjusted multiple linear regression analyses with bootstrapping method, the influence of group on individual test scores (Beery-VMI and SOS-2) and on digital pen data was evaluated. Age, intelligence, and gender were used as covariates for the model. Correlations between HW skills (SOS-2) and digital pen data were computed.

Results: The group variable does not seem to have a statistically significant effect on FM skills (Beery-VMI). No significant association between group and quantity of HW (SOS-2) were found. Significant group differences were found in the quality of HW as well as in the average letter sizes. HW speed and letter size from children with ADHD are significantly increased compared to the control-group. Strong correlations were found between some items of the SOS-2 and the digital pen data.

Conclusion: Digital pens are a feasible method to assess FM and HW skills. Measuring FM skills and HW digitally could be a complementary tool in the ADHD assessment. Digital data can also provide more information about FM problems and thus serve as a guide for (digital) training interventions.

description: One of the challenges facing smallholder farmers in Nigeria is the inefficiency of resource use. The study was therefore conducted to investigate resource use efficiency and return to scale in maize production in the study area. Data were collected from randomly selected 120 maize farmers using a self-designed structure questionnaire in the study area. Data were analysed with the aid of descriptive statistics and Cobb-Douglas production function. Findings showed resources in the area were inefficiently allocated. Seed, labour and fertilizer were under-utilized while farm size and pesticides were overutilized. The returns to scale analysis showed that maize farmers in the area were in irrational stage one of the production curve. The study concluded that maize farmers in the area can increase production by employing more of productive resources
