description: This study examines the role of financial reporting in combating financial fraud in Rwandan banks. Employing a qualitative methodology, data were collected through secondary sources such as financial statements, audit reports, and regulatory guidelines. Statistical analyses revealed a strong correlation between adherence to financial reporting standards and fraud detection rates (p < 0.05). Weak internal controls (p < 0.01) and minimal stakeholder involvement (p < 0.05) significantly contributed to fraud prevalence. Fraud losses as a percentage of bank revenue peaked at 3.09% in 2010, underscoring the urgency of enhanced reporting frameworks. Recommendations include strengthening internal controls, increasing stakeholder engagement, leveraging financial technologies, and promoting ethical practices. These measures, validated through simulations, showed significant improvements in fraud detection rates (p < 0.01). The findings emphasize the necessity of dynamic, technology-integrated reporting systems to mitigate evolving fraud risks effectively.

Range: The distribution of M. longicaudatus ranges throughout the Korean Peninsula (Son 2001; Fig. 27). This species ranges from central Siberia (Altai and Yenisei River) through northeastern China and the Korean Peninsula, Russian Far East to Honshu and Hokkaido, Japan (Tsytsulina & Strelkov 2001).
Remarks: Myotis longicaudatus applied to populations of this bat in Korea, Ussuri region and Altai Mountains of Russia, but longicaudatus has been relegated as a subspecies of M. frater (Yoon 2010). However, recent molecular phylogenetic data identified M. longicaudatus as a distinct species from M. frater (Ruedi et al. 2015) and including two subspecies (kaguyae Imaizumi, 1956 and eniseensis Tsytsulina and Strelkov, 2001).
Conservation status: The Red Data Book of North Korea lists M. longicaudatus as ‘Rare’ (MAB National Committee of DPR Korea 2002).

Range: Myotis ikonnikovi ranges throughout Korea, including Jeju Island (Won 1968; Jo et al. 2012; Fig. 28).
Remarks: Myotis ikonnikovi was previously considered a subspecies of M. muricola but was more recently elevated to a distinct species (Tsytsulina 2001). Since M. ikonnikovi is easily confused with M. brandtii, examination of M. brandtii in Korea might require reassessment as to the correct species. Synonyms of M. ikonnikovi include M. yesoensis, M. hosonoi, M. ozensis and M. fujiensis (Maeda 1994; Kawai 2009b).
Conservation status: The Red Data Books of North Korea and South Korea designated M. ikonnikovi as ‘Rare’ in North Korea and ‘Least Concern’ in South Korea (MAB National Committee of DPR Korea 2002; NIBR 2012).

The effect of trustworthiness on supply chain internal integration
Creators: name: Siripanwattana, Witaya

description: Information sharing plays a crucial role in internal integration because it helps interaction and collaboration. Activities can be effectively and efficiently coordinated to lower supply chain cost by decreasing operational waste and redundancies (Stank et al., 2001a; Rodrigues et al., 2004; Gimenez & Ventura, 2005; Forza, 1996; Vargas et al., 2000). In this research, we are interested in the effect of trustworthiness on people’s intention to share information between departments in an organization. Davis et al. (1995) found that trustworthiness is related to the trustee’s ability, benevolence, and integrity. I hypothesized that the extent to which a department shows high information sharing toward its partners (the other departments) depends upon how much the department believes that their partners are trustworthy. The research was conducted in both Bangkok, Thailand, and in New Jersey, USA, with the aim at examining whether culture plays an important role in people’s information sharing behavior. Factor analysis and multiple regression were used to examine the hypotheses. We found that Integrity trustworthiness was a powerful predictor of information sharing behavior of the participants in both New Jersey and Bangkok. By contrast, Benevolence trustworthiness positively but poorly predicted information sharing behavior in both countries.  Finally, Ability trustworthiness was a positive and strong determinant of intention to share information in New Jersey, but it was a negative and weak predictor of intention to share information in Bangkok. These findings show that integrity is the most crucial part of trustworthiness when people engage in social exchanges. Counterparties with a low level of integrity may be perceived as dishonest or unreliable, and as likely to engage in undesirable or disruptive behaviors. Managerial implications and trustworthiness literatures are discussed.

On successive lumping of large scale systems
Creators: name: Smit, Laurens C.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: The general area of research of this dissertation concerns large systems with random aspects to their behavior that can be modeled and studied in terms of the stationary distribution of Markov chains. As the state spaces of such systems become large, their behavior gets hard to analyze, either via mathematical theory, computational algorithms or via computer simulation.    In this dissertation a class of Markov chains that we call successively lumpable is specified for which we show that the stationary probabilities can be obtained by successively computing the stationary probabilities of a propitiously constructed se- quence of Markov chains. Each of the latter chains has a (typically much) smaller state space and this yields significant computational improvements.  In a successively lumpable Markov chain, we denote the states by tuples of the form  (m,i), where m represents the “current” level of the state and i the current phase of the state. A Markov process is called quasi skip free (QSF) when its transition probability matrix does not permit one step transitions to states that are two or more levels away from the current state in one direction of the level variable m.    We study the class of QSF processes for which in all levels m transitions from level m can only go “down” to a single state in level m − 1 while “upward” transitions are not restricted. Furthermore, we study the class of QSF processes for which in all level m transitions from level m can go “down” to any state in level m − 1 while “upward” transitions go only to one state in the highest level. We derive explicit solutions and bounds for the steady state probabilities for both classes of processes, when the process is ergodic.  These two classes of QSF processes have applications in many areas of applied proba- bility comprising computer science, queueing theory, inventory theory, reliability and the theory of branching processes. To elaborate the applicability of the method we present explicit solutions for well known queueing models. In addition we will give examples of inventory models and restart models that also fit in the framework of successively lumpable QSF processes.
Three essays on financial analysts

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Financial analysts, as information intermediaries in capital markets, collect information, interact with management and process information to provide their clients useful advice. This dissertation focuses on analysts’ forecasting activities to shed light on the analyst-management interaction and analysts’ information processing activities. The first essay examines whether firm characteristics, in particular growth properties, motivate managers to take action to meet or exceed analysts’ revenue forecasts. I find that growth firms are more likely to achieve zero or positive revenue surprises than non-growth firms. Further, revenue manipulation appears to be a preferred tool for growth firms to avoid unfavorable revenue surprises than revenue expectation management. This differential appears to be due to the incremental effectiveness of revenue manipulation for growth firms. The second essay, using analysts’ earnings forecasts, examines whether estimates of post-earnings-announcement returns derived from the historical firm-specific relation between unexpected earnings and drift returns help predict future post-earnings-announcement returns. I find that firms with historically high post-earnings announcement returns continue to experience high post-earnings announcement returns following future earnings surprises. The final essay investigates whether individual analysts who possess superior forecasting performance benefit from private information obtained from their access to selective disclosure or from their innate information processing skills. The frequency of extreme earnings forecasts is used to proxy for analysts’ reliance on private information. The empirical analysis reveals that private information contributing to analysts’ superior performance primarily stems from analysts’ privileged access to corporate management rather than from their inherent information processing skills.

Discussion. Both Br. sordida (Mohrig) comb. n. and Br. dearmata (Mohrig & Krivosheina) comb. n. (see above) are placed in the genus Bradysiopsis, in the here newly established Br. dearmata group. Both species have, unlike the Br. vittata group and Br. disjuncta group, a distinctly bordered patch of sensilla on the first palpal segment, conically narrowed and apically roundish tegmen, elongate-ovale gonostylus with the apex which is curved to the medial side and—like in Pseudolycoriella —densely setose, and which reaches apicad from the apical tooth. With their long three-segmented palpus, four strong setae on scutellum, untoothed tarsal claws, partly bow-like bordered and densely setose tibial organ, the lack of a whiplash seta on the gonostylus, the 2–3 long setae on the medial side of the gonostylus and a slender apical tooth in combination with three subapical megasetae, both species possess typical Bradysiopsis characters [compare with the genus diagnosis in Menzel & Mohrig (2000: 185)].

Range: The distribution of this species encompasses most of Korea, but the bird-like noctule remains rare (Yoon 2010; Fig. 31).
Remarks: Previously, N. aviator was considered a subspecies of N. lasiopterus in Korea (Won 1967, 1968). Nyctalus lasiopterus and N. aviator are found respectively on the western and eastern sides of the Palearctic region and were previously considered as conspecific (Tate 1942, Imaizumi 1970). They are now mostly recognized as separate species (Corbet 1978, Maeda 1983, Simmons 2005). Samples from intermediate geographic locations between Europe and Japan are needed to determine if these two taxa should be treated as separate species or vicariant populations of the same species (Salgueiro et al. 2007).
Conservation status: IUCN recorded this species as ‘Near Threatened’ but the South Korean government registered N. aviator as a species of ‘Least Concern’ (NIBR 2012).

The influence of conservative think tanks
Creators: name: Smith, Eugene F.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: The early 19&0s saw a series of events that led to significant  changes to the US economy.  The year 19&1 marked the end of the Bretton Woods global monetary system. 19&3 was the start of the Arab oil embargo. 19&4 marked the beginning of a deep recession and the start of high inflation that would dominate the decade. These events were the catalysts for change that would start to move the US from a mixed Keynesian economy to a more aggressively capitalist economy that was characterized by tax cuts, deregulation and military spending. This study is an examination of the ideas,  policies and issues that led to this change. It argues that while elites in business, finance and politics argued for policies based on free markets, free trade and unfettered capitalism, the policies in fact worked to strengthen the influence and wealth of these elites. One of the main driving forces of this push for capitalism was the newly emerging conservative think tanks of the 19&0s. Without these think tanks, conservatives could not have created the positive messages and perception of the policies they were able to sell to the American public. Think tanks exerted influence through the books, journals and reports they published. They pushed their message in Congress and in the media where they positioned themselves as defenders fighting liberal excess, big government and a social welfare state. They created a powerful connected network that advocated for what seemed like useful ideas in a time of economic trouble. The changes to capitalism in the 19&0s and early 1980s was driven by think tanks whose funding came from wealthy donors who sought to exert their influence over the US economic and political system. This study explains how Conservatives won the war of ideas with a version of capitalism that had little to do with free markets. It shows how their success would not have been possible without conservative think tanks. Finally, it identifies the winners and losers in this battle that started 40 years ago and continues today.

description: Recent decades have witnessed administrative reforms and policy initiatives that attempt to improve the performance of organizations. The underlying assumption is that changes in management system as well as focus on results would contribute to better organizational outcomes. This philosophy is also deeply embedded in the reforms of public school systems.  This study draws upon existing public management literature to propose two research questions: to what extent and how do leadership and management influence the performance level of public organizations. I propose that principal’s leadership influences student’s performance in standardized exams through mediating effects of teacher’s collaborative culture, performance management, school safety, and parent engagement.  The methodological approach for this research was twofold. First, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to test study models using data collected in the school year 200&-2008. The sample was comprised of all New York City (NYC) public schools. Secondary data – collected by the New York City Department of Education (DoE) – from different sources were used.  These data came from survey questionnaires, on site investigation, and traditional statistics on test scores. Second, a content analysis of key documents was conducted. Documents relevant to the sweeping change in NYC public school system during Mayor Bloomberg’s administration were reviewed and coded. Through content analysis, policy evidence was uncovered to further reinforce the models identified in the first phase. Moreover, the interpretation of the texts also provides rich details about the philosophy and principles of this reform, thus presents a complete picture of the intricate process that takes place when principal’s leadership and school management work together in the way that fosters high productivity.  This research makes two primary contributions: 1) it enhances our understanding of how better performance can be achieved in public schools and this has relevance for all public organizations; 2) by using data from multiple sources and different modes of analysis, the study design offers methodological advantages over prior research making it possible to draw more robust inferences.

description: This thesis examines the treatment of women accused of sexual crimes in four plays by  William Shakespeare, including Othello, Much Ado about Nothing, The Taming of the  Shrew, and Measure for Measure. Though Desdemona, Hero, Katharina, and Isabella are  not tried in a courtroom, they are put through trial processes, including accusations,  interrogations, and confessions. This study draws from several fields, incorporating  historical, literary, gender, criminological, and sociological scholarship, ultimately  investigating how the treatment of the accused women in the plays may reflect or criticize  contemporary social norms. Applying modern legal terminology to these early modern  plays allows for a thorough examination of the biases against accused female characters  and of the protections they are denied. The experience of watching these “trials” onstage  reinforced the crucial role of the early modern playgoing community in interpreting and  judging character. The verdicts that audiences reached, as they negotiated women’s  innocence and guilt within these plays, exposed the flaws of existing legal practices and  called into question early modern notions of the “ideal” woman.

description: This dissertation includes the following three essays involved in the joint determination of capital structure and stock rate of return, fair deposit insurance premium estimation, and the prediction of implied volatility of options on index futures.   The first essay identifies the joint determinants of capital structure and stock returns by using three alternative approaches to deal with the measurement error-in-variable problem. The main contribution of this essay is the comprehensive confirmation on theories in corporate finance. The empirical results from the structural equation modeling (SEM) with confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) show that stock returns, asset structure, growth, industry classification, uniqueness, volatility and financial rating, profitability, government financial policy, and managerial entrenchment are main factors of capital structure in either market- or book- value basis. Finally, the results in robustness test by using the Multiple Indicators and Multiple Causes (MIMIC) model and the two-stage, least square (2SLS) method show the necessity and importance of latent attributes to describe the trade-off between the financial distress and agency costs in capital structure choice.  In the second essay, we use the structural model in terms of the Stair Tree model and barrier option to evaluate the fair deposit insurance premium in accordance with the constraints of the deposit insurance contracts and the consideration of bankruptcy costs. The simulation results suggest that insurers should adopt a forbearance policy instead of a strict policy for closure regulation to avoid losses from bankruptcy costs. An appropriate deposit insurance premium can alleviate potential moral hazard problems caused by a forbearance policy.   In the third essay, we use two alternative approaches, time-series and cross-sectional analysis and constant elasticity of variance (CEV) model, to give different perspective of forecasting implied volatility. We use call options on the S&P 500 index futures expired within 2010 to 2013 to do the empirical work. The abnormal returns in our trading strategy indicate the market of options on index futures may be inefficient. The CEV model performs better than Black model because it can generalize implied volatility surface as a function of asset price.
Essays on the enhanced audit

description: Automation, remote access, and continuous access to enterprise data provide opportunities for internal auditors to improve and enhance their ability to provide assurance that their firms’ business processes are compliant and well-controlled. This dissertation documents the efforts by researchers working with two internal audit organizations as they develop and implement enhanced auditing procedures.      Field studies at these two sites provide insight into the adoption of enhanced audit procedures, and provide discussion on technology dependence and auditor competence. Analysis of these organizations’ audit plans and effort also guides the definition of a standard framework for audit evidence classification that synthesizes various approaches to the enhanced audit and provides a tool for auditors’ evaluation of their own audit plan.    The first essay (Chapter 2) investigates the implementation of a comprehensive continuous controls monitoring (CCM) platform for evaluating internal controls within a highly formalized and well-controlled enterprise resource planning environment.  Utilizing the IT audit plan as a template, auditor expertise as a guide, and manual audit output as a validation tool, this field study examines the process of audit formalization and implementation of CCM at a software division of a large, multinational corporation.    The second essay (Chapter 3) identifies two different approaches to audit reengineering and the experience of the auditors in attempting each method at a large consumer goods company with a highly manual, paper-based environment. Similarly, the third essay (Chapter 4) presents a conceptual framework for the remote audit. Following an introduction to virtual teams, information and communication technology and data analytics, this essay presents the analysis of the revenue audit program.    The enhanced audit classification model (EACM) presented in Chapter 5 joins three concepts found in the assurance literature that link directly to the enhanced audit. These concepts include audit automation, remote auditing, and continuous auditing. The EACM provides auditors and researchers with a framework for identifying opportunities for audit innovation based on the characteristics of the underlying evidence used in the assurance process.

Literature. Lycoriella complexa Rudzinski & Baumjohann—Rudzinski & Baumjohann (2009): 216, figs 20–22.
Discussion. Lycoriella complexa was described based on one male from Spain (Rudzinski & Baumjohann 2009). We have not seen the holotype, but based on the description we exclude it from Lycoriella and transfer it to Camptochaeta Hippa & Vilkamaa, 2004. The single bristle on the first palpal segment, the sclerotized tegmen, the impressed gonostylus (in the original description the impression shown as a dotted line), the strong gonostylar megasetae in the apical half, three of which on the dorsal (apical) side of the apical tooth and the two moderately long elongated setae on the apical third of the gonostylus differ from the characters of Lycoriella s. str. and fit better with Camptochaeta. By these characters, Camptochaeta complexa (Rudzinski & Baumjohann, 2009) comb. n. resembles Cam. subcamptochaeta (Mohrig, 1992) [= Cam. pentacantha Komarova, Hippa & Vilkamaa, 2007]. It is possible that these species are even synonymous [compare the descriptions and figures in Mohrig & Eckert (1992: 295, fig. 1 a–e) and Komarova et al. (2007: 7, figs 1–5)].

description: Unterstützt die Teilnahme an einer LRS-Intensivwoche einen anhaltenden Transfer von lese- und rechtschreibbezogenen Strategien in den schulischen Alltag? Welchen Einfluss auf das Selbstkonzept der Teilnehmenden hat die Intervention? Diese Fragen wurden anhand von Interviews mit insgesamt elf Teilnehmenden einer sogenannten LRS-Woche untersucht. Sechs der teilnehmenden Kinder konnten dazu darüber hinaus in Follow-up Interviews befragt werden. Die Befragungen wurden mithilfe des Computerprogramms MAXQDA in Anlehnung an die inhaltlich strukturierende qualitative Inhaltsanalyse (Kuckartz & Rädiker, 2022) ausgewertet.
Die Auswertung deutet einen Zusammenhang zwischen dem Alter der Teilnehmenden, der damit einhergehenden Konkretisierung des geplanten Transfers und dem Erfolg des Transfers an. Außerdem beschrieben die Kinder eine subjektive Verbesserung ihrer Leistung durch die Teilnahme an der Intervention, welche in engem Zusammenhang zu einem positiveren Selbstkonzept steht. Die Ergebnisse legen zudem Anpassungen der Intervention nahe, insbesondere in Bezug auf die Konkretisierung des geplanten Transfers, die bei jüngeren Kindern eine stärkere Rolle spielen sollte.

Literature. Sciara solita Walker—Walker (1857): 105; Brunetti (1920): 19; Edwards (1928): 24; Edwards (1931): 489. Lycoriella solita (Walker) — Steffan (1972): 466.
Discussion. Sciara solita Walker was described based on one female from Malaysia (Borneo: Sarawak). One additional sample was found by Edwards (1931) from the lowlands of Northern Borneo (1 male, 14 females from ‘Bettotan’ near Sandakan, Sabah). Brunetti (1920) wrote that the holotype is in BMNH, and in good condition. The original description by Walker (1857) comprises only five lines and is so meagre that the species cannot be identified without studying the type. Of the male found later it is unclear whether it really is S. solita sensu Walker (1857) as there is no description nor figures of this specimen. On this account, Sciara solita Walker, 1857 is removed from the Lycoriella group and placed among the unplaced taxa of Sciaridae (species incertae sedis).

Maintaining parole board legitimacy in New Jersey
Creators: name: Tubman-Carbone, Heather Robyn

description: Over the last forty years, victims have gained access to every stage of the criminal justice process including parole decision-making. In 44 states, victims are notified when their offenders are considered for parole release and may provide input requesting that it be granted or denied. Though many states’ parole boards are required to solicit input from registered victims, oftentimes the authorizing statutes do not provide instruction on how parole boards should use input. Relatedly, parole boards receive non-victim input from family and friends of victims and offenders. All input providers expect their input matters. However, research about the effects of input on release decisions has been mixed.    Parole boards are therefore placed in a precarious position.  Input may or may not align with their mandate to make objective release decisions considering offenders’ risk to public safety. Should parole boards’ decisions differ from input they risk legitimacy in the eyes of constituents, particularly, politically influential victims and their advocates. In order to maintain perceptions of procedural justice, and retain legitimacy, parole boards should identify the value of victim-and non-victim input and be transparent about their decision-making process.     This dissertation research provides the foundation for that important work by expanding the literature about the contents of input through an exploratory analysis of a representative sample of input submitted to the New Jersey State Parole Board. The research draws on 198 unique pieces of victim and non-victim input submitted to the NJSPB on behalf of &5 offenders who received first-time parole consideration in 2004. A content analysis, guided by a grounded theory methodological approach, uncovered 12 common themes in input as well as divergent ways in which victim-interested and offender-interested input providers operationalized them. Conjunctive analysis revealed little variation in the relative importance of each theme to release decisions. Additionally, only a minority of input addressed factors that the NJSPB considers when making release decisions. Parole boards and policy makers may use these results to reconsider the way input is used in order to set and meet their constituents’ expectations which will in turn, sustain parole board legitimacy.
Banned in the USSR

description: The main purpose of this thesis is to explore the connection between social and cultural aspects of history, specifically concentrating on the phenomenon of counterculture as a measure of civic reaction to the political climate and its impact on social institutions. With the totalitarian Soviet regime during the decade of its disintegration as its subject, this study intends to show that a degree of cultural pluralism and public dissent can exist even in the outwardly culturally withdrawn, ideologically dogmatic, and politically repressive societies. The central focus of the examination rests on the relationship between the state-controlled printed media and the public sentiment of the Soviet youth, and the ways in which the official press and the dissident counterculture interacted in the years surrounding the era of Mikhail Gorbachev’s democratic reforms and the subsequent demise of the Soviet state.    The investigation is conducted mainly through the analysis of the primary sources, represented by a cross-section of the printed media of the period, as well as memoirs and interviews of the participants of the events, the author’s personal experience, and secondary sources, devoted to the phenomenon of the sub-cultural “underground” in the USSR.    The examination displays the eminent role of mass information as both a tool of propaganda and a measure of public opinion, and accentuates the part that cultural deviations played in the political process. The evidence shows the conflicting reactions towards the ongoing social changes and increasing cultural diversity, and highlights the divergent approaches to the information management that existed within the seemingly uniformed institution as the government-controlled Soviet media apparatus.    As this study considers the significance of the interests, leanings, and sympathies of the youth on the overall historical development, it ascertains that even the presumably marginalized and maligned social and cultural movements can emerge as powerful factors in the discourse between the state, the media, and the public within the milieu of political restructuring.
