title: Shareholders' Control of Public Companies in Pakistan.
Creators: name: Ranjha, Afzaal Khalid
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1970

description: In theory shareholders are reckoned to exercise complete control over theaffairs of the company in which they hold shares. But in actual practice corporate enterprise is not so democratic. I have ,therefore, divided this thesis into two parts. Part I deals with the mode in which shareholders may exercise control over thea affairs of the company and the manner in which the same can be enhanced. Chapter one gives in outline the back ground and the nature of the role played by shareholers in Pakistan. As company meetings are the proper forum where shareholders can determine the policy of the company and exercise a controlling influence over the management, the next three chapters deal with the various types of meetings, the nature of shareholders' participation therein and the types of business transacted thereat. Chapter five deals with the notice requirement for the holding of company meetings, and chapters six and seven describe the manner of voting and the conduct of these meetings. Chapter eight concerns how decisions are arrived at by shareholders present at company meetings. It, therefore deals with the resolutions and types thereof which are passed at such meetings. Part II of this thesis deals with the abuse of power by those in control and remedies thereto. In this regard chapter nine sets out the scope of majority rule and majority rights. In chapter ten remedies open to oppressed shareholders have been discussed and chapter eleven deals with protection of minority shareholders in amalgamation and reconstruction. In chapter twelve I have attempted to deal with the scope of administrative supervision and investigation of public companies as a means of improving the standard of management of companies and as a measure to safeguard the interest of shareholders. In the last chapter suggestions have been made as to how to improve shareholders participation and protect their intersts.
title: Sir William Mackinnon, Shipowner, 1823-1893.
Creators: name: Orchardson, Ian Kipkerui
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1970

description: This thesis is a study of Sir William Mackinnon as a shipowner and as a man who played an important part in opening East Africa to British influence. By shrewdness and good fortune he took advantage of the dramatic progress in communications, which was part of the Industrial Revolution, and he built up a shipping company which became a major trading concern in the Indian Ocean. Under the influence of humanitarian ideas, and particularly those of David Livingstone, he felt a duty to use some of his wealth to improve the lot of less fortunate people and so he engaged in various commercial and philanthropic enterprises in Africa, and the company which he founded there towards the end of his life made a substantial contribution to British colonisation in East Africa. He became supreme as a shipowner, and his business acumen was undoubted, but his involvement in international affairs exposed his weakness as a politician and as an administrator. In the whirlpool of the scramble for Africa he was out of his depth beside the political giants of the time. The Mackinnon Papers, which were the most important source of information for this thesis, reveal Mackinnon as a man of rather narrow outlook, but deep religious convictions who believed that good works received their just reward. Compared with many of his contemporaries, who were involved with Africa, such as Henry Morton Stanley, Cecil Rhodes and King Leopold of Belgium, he was not very imaginative but in his desire to spread the benefits of Christian civilisation he was more sincere and humane.

title: The Administration of British Burma 1852-1885.
Creators: name: Nilsson, Janell Ann
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1970

description: In this thesis is outlined the development of British administration in its Burmese provinces between 1852 and the war of 1885. In 1852 the British government of India acquired its third Burmese province when Pegu was annexed, as Tenasserim and Arakan had been annexed earlier in 1826. The difficulties of establishing British administration in Pegu are discussed, as well as the later amalgamation of the three British Burmese provinces into that of British Burma and the subsequent development of administration there. This development was influenced by the indigenous system of government; by practices established between 1826 and 1852 in Tenasserim and Arakan; and by British administrative practices that were standard in all of British India. British administrative objectives were basically the maintenance of peace and order but as it was necessary for the revenue of provinces to pay for the costs of administration, economic development was also important. Accordingly the most important functions of the British administration in Burma were those of police, justice, and revenue. Social stability and a laissez-faire economy gave impetus to economic growth within the province. This forced the administration to expand its existing framework; to establish departmental government; and to allow the indigenous people more responsibility in it. The way in which this occurred was, however, largely deter-mined by developments within India, to whose government the province of British Burma was subordinate.
Correcting Conditional Mean Imputation for Censored Covariates and Improving Usability

description: Analysts are often confronted with censoring, wherein some variables are not observed at their true value, but rather at a value that is known to fall above or below that truth. While much attention has been given to the analysis of censored outcomes, contemporary focus has shifted to censored covariates, as well. Missing data is often overcome using multiple imputation, which leverages the entire dataset by replacing missing values with informed placeholders, and this method can be modified for censored data by also incorporating partial information from censored values. One such modification involves replacing censored covariates with their conditional means given other fully observed information, such as the censored value or additional covariates. So-called conditional mean imputation approaches were proposed for censored covariates in Atem et al. [2017], Atem et al.[2019a], and Atem et al. [2019b]. These methods are robust to additional parametric assumptions on the censored covariate and utilize all available data, which is appealing. As we worked to implement these methods, however, we discovered that these three manuscripts provide nonequivalent formulas and, in fact, none is the correct formula for the conditional mean. Herein, we derive the correct form of the conditional mean and demonstrate the impact of the incorrect formulas on the imputed values and statistical inference. Under several settings considered, using an incorrect formula is seen to seriously bias parameter estimation in simple linear regression. Lastly, we provide user-friendly R software, the imputeCensoRd package, to enable future researchers to tackle censored covariates in their data.

title: The External Trade of the Loango Coast and Its Effects on the Vili 1576-1870.
Creators: name: Martin, Phyllis M.
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1970

description: The Loango Coast is a useful term to describe the West African Coast which lies between Cape Lopez in the north and the Congo River in the south. In the sixteenth century, the region was divided into three kingdoms, Loango, Kakongo and Ngoyo. This study discusses two interrelated themes. The first concerns the changing patterns of external trade; here, four main phases may be differentiated. The first was a pre-slave trade period, from about 1576 to 1630 when indigenous African commercial activities expanded under the impetus of European contact; between 1630 and 1670 the products of legitimate trade decreased in importance and the trade in slaves gained momentum; the years from 1670 to 1793 have been called the Slave Trade Era; from about 1793 to 1870, the slave traders faced mounting problems until their activities were finally ended and a legitimate trade was reestablished. The second theme deals specifically with the Vili kingdom of Loango, which, as the term "Loango Coast" implies, dominated the region until its fortunes changed in the eighteenth century. The discussion suggests how the Vili were affected by the changing patterns of external trade. Chapters 1 and 8 are primarily concerned with this subject, although it is also touched on at various other points. The Maloango and the traditional aristocracy, who dominated the sixteenth aid seventeenth century Vili kingdom, were forced to share power witha class of nouveaux- riches thrown up by the slave trade, by the late eighteenth century. The final demise of the old kingdom occurred in the nineteenth century, when the order and unity of traditional society was lost amid the unstable conditions brought by the rule of petty chiefs. The last chapter attempts to show that these changes were a positive response to varying circumstances, not mere decay.

description: Recent developments in parallel Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms allow us to run thousands of chains almost as quickly as a single chain, using hardware accelerators such as GPUs. While each chain still needs to forget its initial point during a warmup phase, the subsequent sampling phase can be shorter than in classical settings, where we run only a few chains. To determine if the resulting short chains are reliable, we need to assess how close the Markov chains are to their stationary distribution after warmup. The potential scale reduction factor $\widehat R$ is a popular convergence diagnostic but unfortunately can require a long sampling phase to work well. We present a nested design to overcome this challenge and a generalization called nested $\widehat R$. This new diagnostic works under conditions similar to $\widehat R$ and completes the workflow for GPU-friendly samplers. In addition, the proposed nesting provides theoretical insights into the utility of $\widehat R$, in both classical and short-chains regimes.

title: Industrial Productivity in Iraq With Special Reference to Selected Firms 1953-63.
Creators: name: Suleiman, Hassan Ali
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1967

description: The subject of productivity is at the heart of all present day economic discussions. Its importance stems from the fact that it is a measure of the efficiency with which resources, i.e. factors of production, are converted into the commodities and services we need. All plans for economic growth are, in one way or another, "based on productivity considerations. Available resources in a country or in industry are first assessed, then the best possible paths for distribution of resources and types of production are pursued. Further, the solution of most economic problems lies in answering some productivity problems. Prices, costs and other economic aspects, such as distribution of economic gains, are influenced and determined by productivity, i.e. efficiency of factor inputs. Higher productivity of factor inputs would contribute to lower costs and this in turn may result in lower prices, or more profits, and so on. But in spite of the importance of the subject of productivity it was not until recent years that much consideration was given to this branch of economics. Furthermore, the fact that productivity is a quantitative measure means that studies are carried out in countries where statistical data are readily available, Consequently we find that the main developments in this field have been made in advanced countries. In under-developed countries the subject of productivity is still vastly unexplored. This is the case in Iraq v/here little has been done in this field. The present study is a first attempt in the field of productivity measurement in Iraq. Its aim is two-fold: first to use some productivity measurements to assess the productivity performance and also to serve as a model for more studies in this field. Measurements of productivity in Iraq will be done at all levels of the Iraqi economy: total economy by main sectors, manufacturing sector by main industrial groups and selected industrial firms. Emphasis, however, will be put on selected industrial firms in the cement, textile, brewing and cigarette industries. Finally, it is hoped that this study will serve the purposes set out, i.e. introduce the subject of productivity to the economic field in Iraq and fill in the gap in the statistical field, by providing data on various aspects of the economy.
title: Evolution of the Structure of Civil Judiciary in Bengal 1800-31.
Creators: name: Sinha, Chittaranjan
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1967

description: In 1793 Cornwallis organised the Company's judiciary on a new basis. The salient features of its civil branch were the union of executive and judicial authorities at the top, the division of those functions in the Districts and their allocation to the Collector and the Judge separately, and the reliance on European agency for carrying out nearly the whole of the judicial administration. By 1831 the picture had changed drastically. The executive and judicial functions had been separated at the top but combined to a large extent in the Collectors of the Districts, and almost the entire original jurisdiction had been delegated to Indian Judges. Structural details had also been altered substantially. Two sets of tribunals, the Provincial Courts and the Courts of Registers, had become extinct. All these modifications came after 1800, on account of the failure of Cornwallis's system, and in the process of evolving a structure that would prove equal to the pressure of judicial business. The jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of Calcutta had been restricted in 1781, in order to remove the grounds of conflict between the Court and the Bengal Government. But in many respects the Court's jurisdiction was still not clear. That the seeds of conflict remained is shown by the subsequent history of the Court. To provide the necessary background to this study of the evolution of the civil judiciary in Bengal between 1800 and 1831, a brief introductory chapter on the pre-Cornwallis period has been included, whilst in chapters on various elements of the Company's judicial structure it seemed desirable to begin by discussing the arrangements made during the Governor- Generalships of Hastings and Cornwallis. Similarly the chapter on relations between the Supreme Court and the Bengal Administration opens with an account of earlier conflicts between the Court and the Executive.

title: The Executive in African Governments (a Comparative Study).
Creators: name: Selassie, Bereketab Habte
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1967

description: My interest to undertake the study leading to this thesis was first aroused in May 1963, during the first meeting of the African Heads of States which established the OAU. Further inquiries revealed a political phenomenon that has been called African presidentialism. The advent of one-party government which was the basis of African presidentialism has been complicated by the intervention of the military in politics, or by threats of such intervention. A comparative study of African constitutions focused on the Executive was therefore, I felt, worth undertaking. The scope and purpose of the thesis is to examine the structure and organisation of the Executive in a comparative setting. The thesis is divided into four parts. The introductory part (Part One) aims to provide a historical and socio-political background to the study. Part Two deals with the various Executive forms in Africa: Chapter three deals with the monarchies. Chapter four with dual executive systems, and Chapter five with executive presidencies. The commonest system is that of the executive presidency; accordingly, Chapter five is considered to be the central part of the thesis. Executive presidency for African presidentialism) rests on the twin pillars of the one-party and on the civil service. Hence part three deals with an account of these two institutions in Africa. The last part deals with the advent of the military in Africa. Some of the major causes of coups d'etat are examined together with some case studies (chapter eight). This is followed by brief accounts of selected military regimes considered as Executives.

title: The Policy of Sir James Fergusson as Governor of Bombay Presidency, 1880-1885.
Creators: name: Gupta, Amitkumar
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1967

description: Sir James Fergusson was appointed Governor of Bombay by Disraeli's Government in March 1880, In May Gladstone despatched Lord Ripon as Viceroy to inaugurate a liberal Indian policy. The Liberals favoured a pacific frontier policy, whereas Fergusson, a Tory expansionist and a Russophobe, manoeuvred to force changes in their proposed Afghan settlement. Seeking the security of the Indian possessions and holding an anomalous jurisdiction over the British connections in the Red Sea area, Fergusson laboured for a policy of extending Britain's influence and consolidating her strategic position on the route to India. His assiduity for interference was also reflected in his supervision of British relations with the native states of Bombay. Again, he was opposed to the views of the liberal Viceroy over the reduction and centralisation of the Indian armies. In internal administration Fergusson disapproved of Ripon's liberal policy of fostering the aspirations of the educated Indians. He disliked Ripon's concern for admitting Indians to the Indian Civil Service and resisted Ripon's scheme for extending local self-government. He was in favour of maintaining the racial character of the Indian administration. He was opposed to the introduction of the controversial Ilbert Bill, though he was largely responsible for the compromise formula which was ultimately accepted by Ripon and his adversaries. A paternalist in social and economic affairs, he was an enthusiast for factory legislation and he shared Ripon's anxiety to undertake public works in a famine-threatened country. Again, when Ripon, consistent with laissez-faire principle, advocated low taxes and the moderation of the government demand on land, Fergusson called for increased taxation and the enchancement of the land assessment. Unconcerned about the reactions of the people, Fergusson represented in India the authoritarian Tory paternalism which sought to promote the welfare of the subject race from above.

title: The Development of the Legal System in the Colony of Lagos, 1862-1905.
Creators: name: Gordon, Jay
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1967

description: The development of the legal system in the Lagos colony was primarily influenced by political and economic considerations. Although English-style courts were established, their functioning v/as marred by an inadequate supply of legal personnel and procedures too complicated for the colony's circumstances. By the turn of the century, it was clear that radical changes had to be made in the legal system for Britain to rule effectively the areas coming under its control. For Africans within the colony's jurisdiction, the courts remained alien institutions throughout this period. The courts were established largely for the convenience of European commercial interests, and Africans were not encouraged to make full use of them. Because of the demands of colonial rule, restrictions were placed on the employment of African lawyers and juries, and some fundamental rights were denied persons on trial. The colonial authorities also found it inconvenient to observe the "niceties" of English law. Where larger considerations of policy were involved, especially those pertaining to slavery, debt and land, the law was flagrantly violated by officials. This disregard for legal prescriptions was also evident in the expansion of the colony's jurisdiction to the African states on the mainland. African states were relegated to positions outside the sphere of international law in their relations with the Lagos government. By 1904, the colony's jurisdiction over non-natives was complete throughout Yorubaland, and independent African jurisdiction had been seriously curtailed.

description: Heteromorphic sex chromosomes (XY or ZW) present problems of gene dosage imbalance between sexes and with autosomes. A need for dosage compensation has long been thought to be critical in vertebrates. However, this was questioned by findings of unequal mRNA abundance measurements in monotreme mammals and birds. Here, we demonstrate unbalanced mRNA levels of X genes in platypus males and females and a correlation with differential loading of histone modifications. We also observed unbalanced transcripts of Z genes in chicken. Surprisingly, however, we found that protein abundance ratios were 1:1 between the sexes in both species, indicating a post-transcriptional layer of dosage compensation. We conclude that sex chromosome output is maintained in chicken and platypus (and perhaps many other non therian vertebrates) via a combination of transcriptional and post-transcriptional control, consistent with a critical importance of sex chromosome dosage compensation.

description: In 2007, Andrews and Paule published the eleventh paper in their series on MacMahon's partition analysis, with a particular focus on broken $k$-diamond partitions. On the way to broken $k$-diamond partitions, Andrews and Paule introduced the idea of $k$-elongated partition diamonds. Recently, Andrews and Paule revisited the topic of $k$-elongated partition diamonds. Using partition analysis and the Omega operator, they proved that the generating function for the partition numbers $d_k(n)$ produced by summing the links of $k$-elongated plane partition diamonds of length $n$ is given by $\frac{(q^2;q^2)_\infty^k}{(q;q)_\infty^{3k+1}}$ for each $k\geq 1.$ A significant portion of their recent paper involves proving several congruence properties satisfied by $d_1, d_2$ and $d_3$, using modular forms as their primary proof tool. In this work, our goal is to extend some of the results proven by Andrews and Paule in their recent paper by proving infinitely many congruence properties satisfied by the functions $d_k$ for an infinite set of values of $k.$ The proof techniques employed are all elementary, relying on generating function manipulations and classical $q$-series results.
title: The Land Revenue History of the Rajshahi Zamindari, (1765-1793).
Creators: name: Mahmood, Abul Baraket Mahiuddin
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1966

description: This work is devoted to a study of the land revenue history of the Rajshahi Zamindari from 1765 to 1793. The first chapter is introductory and narrates the creation of this vast zamindari in the first half of the eighteenth century. The second chapter deals with the seven years of Diwani rule in Bengal from 1765 to 1772, years of hesitation and confusion, and discusses the East India Company's early revenue policies and their implementation in Rajshahi. The arguments of James Grant about the proper level of demand upon Rajshahi, and the results of collection by the Supervisor and under the Triennial settlement are reviewed, and the results of the 1770 famine are assessed. The third chapter discusses the Quinquennial farming settlement introduced by Warren Hastings in 1772, and the attempts made by Rani Bhabani, zamindar of Rajshahi to work with and then to resist the Company. Particular attention is paid to the fate of the zamindari during the conflict in the Calcutta Council between Hastings and Barwell, and Clavering, Monson and Francis. The fourth chapter reviews the working of the temporary settlement of Rajshahi under the Collectors William Hosea and Edward Baber, acting through local agents, and the causes of failure which led to a renewed settlement with the zamindar. The fifth chant 'Jr is devoted to Hastings' Permanent Plan for the Revenue Administration of 1781, and to his refusal to allow any settlement with the Rani. The four different revenue experiments in Rajshahi which thereupon follow are then considered, and the circumstances of their success or failure. The last chapter studies the changes in attitude in India and England which led to the adoption of a permanent zarlindari settlement in Bengal, and surveys the difficulties which precede Rajshahi's ultimate inclusion in that settlement.

description: Big Data is steadily expanding beyond the boundaries of its foundational constructs of three primary Vs, Volume, Velocity and Variety, and two secondary Vs, Veracity and Value. The advent of 5G networks, Edge computing and IoT technologies has transformed Big Data into this modern context. With these new manifestations of Big Data, the focus is not only on the data itself but on the context that it applies to its immediate environment as well as the human and societal perception of this context. It is increasingly challenging for conventional AI algorithms to process and transform this data, analyse and visualise a broad spectrum of insights, and then formulate the explainability of such insights in terms of bias, transparency, safety, ethics, and causality. Self-structuring Artificial Intelligence (SSAI) addresses the limitations of conventional AI by adapting to the inherent structure of the data, incrementally learning and abstracting from this structure. SSAI has not been investigated in a cloud-based setting for generating explainable insights from these new types of Big Data. In this paper we propose a cloud-based architecture for explainable Big Data analytics using SSAI in highly-connected 5G and Edge computing environments. The proposed architecture is empirically evaluated on a commercial scale Big Data use case of Smart Grid for Smart Cities. The results of these experiments confirm the functionality and effectiveness of the proposed architecture.

title: Consolidation of Southern Sung China Under Hsiao-Tsung's Reign, 1162-1189.
Creators: name: Gong, Wei Ai
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1986

description: This is a study on the reign of Hsiao-tsung, the second emperor of the Southern Sung dynasty (1127-1279). His rule from 1162 to 1189 represents a crucial phase in Southern Sung history for it was during this period that the regime was greatly strengthened and the empire solidly built. By effectively consolidating the Southern Sung regime further, Hsiao-tsung not only succeeded in establishing an age of peace and order under his administration but also constructed a dynasty of long duration which successfully resisted foreign penetration for almost another century after his reign. The thesis consists of six chapters. Chapter One, the Introduction, gives the historical setting and places the reign of Hsiao-tsung in a clearer perspective by highlighting the major political, socio-economic and military developments of the time. Chapter Two provides an account on the founding of Southern Sung. The political upheavals during the reign of the first emperor, Kao-tsung, represent a sharp contrast to the overall peaceful administration of his successor. Chapter Three deals with the early years of uncertainty during Hsiao-tsung's reign and gives us a better understanding of the tasks initially confronting the emperor. In Chapters Four and Five, the significant role played by Hsiao-tsung in consolidating the Southern Sung empire is analysed through a detailed study of court politics during the Ch'ien-tao (1165-1173) and Ch'un-hsi (1174-1189) eras. It can be deduced that the emperor achieved consolidation by concentrating political, military and financial powers not only in the central government but also in his own hands. As a result, absolutism attained a new height, but this was not necessarily harmful as it had the positive effect of bringing about general order to the regime. Finally, in the Conclusion in Chapter Six, we examine the far-reaching impact of Hsiao-tsung's contributions to Southern Sung China. His labours resulted in a lasting stability that held the empire together through the years of political decline and economic deterioration. The remarkable resilience demonstrated by the late Southern Sung dynasty undoubtedly attests the strength of Hsiao-tsung's consolidation.
