description: In day-to-day operations managers decide on a variety of working capital variables influencing the size of operating cash flows its timing and risk and therefore the firm’s value. This paper reveals the tool based on NPV criterion appropriate for evaluation of net effect the changes in working capital management have on the firm’s value. This research merge previous work on the applications of the NPV criterion in the field of working capital management within discounted cash flows framework (Lieber and Orgler, 1975; Sartoris and Hill, 1983; Kim and Chung, 1990; Arcelus and Srinivasan, 1993) and contributes to it by (i) including additional working capital decision variables: advance payments, labor costs and deferral of salaries payments, (ii) focusing on moments of outflows instead of moments of costs arising and (iii) it is designed to be applicable for discretionary type of business activity. As being value-based tool presented here is superior to well established financial ratios analysis usually suggested for assessing the efficiency of working capital management.

description: Ultra-long Gamma-Ray Bursts are a class of high energy transients lasting several hours. Their exact nature is still elusive, and several models have been proposed to explain them. Because of the limited coverage of wide field gamma-ray detectors, the study of their prompt phase with sensitive narrow-field X-ray instruments could help in understanding the origin of ultra-long GRBs. However, the observers face a true problem in rapidly activating follow-up observations, due to the challenging identification of an ultra-long GRB before the end of the prompt phase. We present here a comparison of the prompt properties available after a few tens of minutes of a sample of ultra-long GRBs and normal long GRBs, looking for prior indicators of the long duration. We find that there is no such clear prior indicator of the duration of the burst. We also found that statistically, a burst lasting at least 10 and 20 minutes has respectively 28% and 50% probability to be an ultralong event. These findings point towards a common central engine for normal long and ultra-long GRBs, with the collapsar model privileged.

description: Persistent reservoirs of multidrug-resistant microorganisms (MDRO) that are prevalent in hospital settings and communities can lead to the spread of MDRO. Currently, there are no effective decolonization strategies, especially non-pharmacological strategies without antibiotic regimens. Our aim was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for the eradication of MDRO. A systematic literature search was performed to identify studies on the use of FMT for the decolonization of MDRO. PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched from inception through January 2019. Of the 1395 articles identified, 20 studies met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Overall, the efficacy of FMT for the eradication of each MDRO was 70.3% (102/146) in 121 patients from the 20 articles. The efficacy rates were 68.2% (30/44) for gram-positive bacteria and 70.6% (72/102) for gram-negative bacteria. Minor adverse events, including vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and ileus, were reported in patients who received FMT. FMT could be a promising strategy to eradicate MDRO in patients. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings and establish a comprehensive FMT protocol for standardized treatment.Key messagesThe development of new antibiotics lags behind the emergence of multidrug-resistant microorganisms (MDRO). New strategies are needed.Theoretically, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) might recover the diversity and function of commensal microbiota from dysbiosis in MDRO carriers and help restore colonization resistance to pathogens.A literature review indicated that FMT could be a promising strategy to eradicate MDRO in patients.

description: Additional file 11: Figure S2. Detection of differentially abundant genera as a function of mean relative abundance and effect size when performing differential abundance testing on filtered taxonomic data. To observe what type of differentially abundant genera were being detected by methods based on mean relative abundance and effect size when performed on filtered taxonomic data, the mean relative abundances of tested genera (on log scale) and log2 fold change of genera in PD were plotted for dataset 1 (left column), dataset 2 (middle column), and replicated signatures (right column), and repeating these plots for each DA method (rows). Fisher’s exact test was used to determine if DA signatures were enriched for more or less common genera, and genera with absolute fold change of 1.3 or higher. Individual points in the plots represent each tested genus, and is plotted according to that specific genus' mean relative abundance in cases and controls and log2 fold change in PD. Composite mean relative abundances and fold changes were used to plot points for replicated DA signatures by taking the average between datasets. For each method, points are shaded black if a method detected a particular genus as differentially abundant, and grey if not detected as such. Horizontal dashed lines represent the median mean relative abundance for either dataset 1, dataset 2, or replicated signatures. Vertical dashed lines represent a fold change of ~1.3 in positive and negative directions. Blue labeled methods are methods who were found to have consistently higher than average concordances in both datasets and replicated signatures, while red labeled methods were found to have consistently lower than average concordances. Grey labeled methods are those that were found to have varied mean concordances. MRA: mean relative abundance, results from Fisher’s exact test testing enrichment of more or less common genera in detected DA signatures; FC: fold change, results from Fisher’s exact test testing enrichment of genera with absolute fold changes > or < 1.3 in detected DA signatures; OR: odds ratio; P: P value of OR; GLM: generalized linear model; CLR: centered log-ratio; KW: Kruskal- Wallis; TSS: total sum scaling (relative abundances); rCLR: robust centered log-ratio transformation with matrix completion; RLE: relative log expression; TMM: trimmed mean of M-values; NBZI: negative binomial zero-inflated.

description: Nowadays, companies are expected to conform to a socially-committed model that not only creates maximum value for their shareholders or members but also considers the impact of their actions on three fronts: economic, social, and environmental. This is called Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). It is very much present in cooperative societies and is a source of some of their unique features. The purpose of the present study is to analyze “e-corporate social responsibility” in Spanish second-tier cooperative societies. The focus of this study is the CSR information that these enterprises provide through their web pages. Presenting such information is typically part of a comprehensive CSR strategy and helps an enterprise – cooperative or otherwise – to achieve a higher profile, identify its values, and become more relevant to its stakeholders. The results of this research reveal that second-tier cooperative societies make limited use of the Internet as a means to communicate CSR-related information to their stakeholders.

description: It is shown that the $F_4$ rational and trigonometric integrable systems are exactly-solvable for {\it arbitrary} values of the coupling constants. Their spectra are found explicitly while eigenfunctions by pure algebraic means. For both systems new variables are introduced in which the Hamiltonian has an algebraic form being also (block)-triangular. These variables are invariant with respect to the Weyl group of $F_4$ root system and can be obtained by averaging over an orbit of the Weyl group. Alternative way of finding these variables exploiting a property of duality of the $F_4$ model is presented. It is demonstrated that in these variables the Hamiltonian of each model can be expressed as a quadratic polynomial in the generators of some infinite-dimensional Lie algebra of differential operators in a finite-dimensional representation. Both Hamiltonians preserve the same flag of polynomials and each subspace of the flag coincides with the finite-dimensional representation space of this algebra. Quasi-exactly-solvable generalization of the rational $F_4$ model depending on two continuous and one discrete parameters is found.

description: Introduction: Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) plus long-acting β2-agonist (LABA) combinations are commonly used in the treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). At least four fixed-dose ICS/LABA combinations are available, including budesonide/formoterol, beclomethasone/formoterol, fluticasone/vilanterol and fluticasone/salmeterol, but there is little guidance for clinicians on which of these combinations to prescribe. Areas covered: The aim of this in-depth review was to identify studies that compared budesonide/formoterol with the other ICS/LABA combinations and assess the data on exacerbations, safety, and patient quality of life. PubMed and Ovid databases were searched, and 14 studies were identified. Our findings highlight the lack of prospective, randomized, controlled trials comparing LABA/ICS combinations in the treatment of COPD as only two such studies were identified. However, current evidence suggests that the effects of budesonide/formoterol on reducing exacerbations and improving quality of life may be similar to, or more marked than, those of other LABA/ICS combinations in COPD and, compared with the other LABA/ICS combinations, budesonide/formoterol may be associated with a lower incidence of serious pneumonia events and oral candidiasis. Expert opinion: To better guide clinicians in selecting between the available ICS/LABA, robust meta-analyses and well-designed head-to-head clinical trials are urgently needed.

description: This paper provides an analysis of microeconomic factors that explain the savings behavior of rural households in Kazakhstan based on unique survey data. Rural household savings are estimated in order to test household responses to income, monetary or non-monetary wealth, and some socioeconomic variables. Based on the analysis results, we conclude that although some rural households save in the form of financial assets, most households prefer to save in animal stock. It is explainable by the reluctance of commercial banks – the only source of financial services for the rural population in Kazakhstan – to deal with low-income rural clientele. The conclusions suggest that the government should revise its policies regarding Rural Credit Partnerships (RCPs), making them full-fledged cooperative institutions for savings and loans.

description: In this paper, we investigate the statistical signal-processing algorithm to measure the instant local clock jump from the timing data of multiple pulsars. Our algorithm is based on the framework of Bayesian statistics. In order to make the Bayesian algorithm applicable with limited computational resources, we dedicated our efforts to the analytic marginalization of irrelevant parameters. We found that the widely used parameter for pulsar timing systematics, the `Efac' parameter, can be analytically marginalized. This reduces the Gaussian likelihood to a function very similar to the Student's $t$-distribution. Our iterative method to solve the maximum likelihood estimator is also explained in the paper. Using pulsar timing data from the Yunnan Kunming 40m radio telescope, we demonstrate the application of the method, where 80-ns level precision for the clock jump can be achieved. Such a precision is comparable to that of current commercial time transferring service using satellites. We expect that the current method could help developing the autonomous pulsar time scale.

Many-body q-exponential distribution prescribed by factorization hypothesis

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: The factorization problem of $q$-exponential distribution within nonextensive statistical mechanics is discussed on the basis of Abe's general pseudoadditivity for equilibrium systems. it is argued that the factorization of compound probability into product of the probabilities of subsystems is nothing but the consequence of existence of thermodynamic equilibrium in the interacting systems having Tsallis entropy. So the factorization does not needs independent noninteracting systems and should be respected in all exact calculations concerning interacting nonextensive subsystems. This consideration makes it legitimate to use $q$-exponential distribution either for composite system or for single body in many-body systems. Some known results of ideal gases obtained with additive energy are reviewed.

description: Membership in an agricultural cooperative can improve the efficiency of production. Cooperatives often transfer agricultural technology to their members by employing specialized extension agents. This study analyzes the effect of cooperative membership on cocoa production and identifies factors that influence the willingness of non-member farmers to join a cooperative in the future. A survey of 243 farmers was carried out between December 2009 and January 2010 in Juanjui, San Martin, which is the main cocoa production area in Peru and the home of the Acopagro cooperative. Econometric results show that non-member farmers usually harvest larger volumes of cocoa beans, but the quality of the beans is lower compared with the Acopagro cooperative members. Analysis of a subsample of Acopagro cooperative members confirms that the length of cooperative membership has a positive effect on cocoa production volume. Moreover, unassociated farmers who wish to continue selling independently in the market have different socio-economic characteristics compared with farmers who are willing to join the cooperative in the future. The cooperative should engage in adequate training of the cooperative extension agents, thus motivating them to provide knowledge to the farmers and improve the farmers’ competitive posture in the market.

description: Three experiments tested the proposition that factors that make foreign-accented speech easier to process (i.e., increase listeners’ processing fluency) positively bias listeners’ evaluations of foreign-accented speakers. Participants listened to an audio recording of a Mandarin-accented speaker either in the presence or absence of subtitles (Studies 1 and 2) or were either familiar or unfamiliar with the content of the message prior to listening to the recording (Study 3). Compared to the unsubtitled/unfamiliar conditions, the subtitled/familiar conditions increased listeners’ fluency, elicited more positive affect, and resulted in more favorable language attitudes. The effects of subtitles/familiarity on language attitudes were mediated by fluency and affect. An extension of the fluency principle is proposed.

description: Following Blass, we call a real a ``needed'' for a binary relation R on the reals if in every R-adequate set we find an element from which a is Turing computable. We show that every real needed for Cof(N) is hyperarithmetic. Replacing ``R-adequate'' by ``R-adequate with minimal cardinality'' we get related notion of being ``weakly needed''. We show that is is consistent that the two notions do not coincide for the reaping relation. (They coincide in many models.) We show that not all hyperarithmetical reals are needed for the reaping relation. This answers some questions asked by Blass at the Oberwolfach conference in December 1999.

description: Based on HST and MUSE data, we probe the stellar and gas properties (i.e. kinematics, stellar mass, star formation rate) of the radio-loud brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) located at the centre of the X-ray luminous cool core cluster Abell 2667 (z = 0.2343). The bi-dimensional modelling of the BCG surface brightness profile reveals the presence of a complex system of substructures extending all around the galaxy. Clumps of different size and shape plunged into a more diffuse component constitute these substructures, whose intense 'blue' optical colour hints to the presence of a young stellar population. Our results depict the BCG as a massive (M_star ~ 1.38 x 10^11 M_sun) dispersion-supported spheroid (v_star < 150 km/s, sigma_0 ~ 216 km/s) hosting an active supermassive black hole (M_SMBH ~ 3.8 x 10^9 M_sun) whose optical features are typical of low ionisation nuclear emission line regions. Although the velocity pattern of the stars in the BCG is irregular, the stellar kinematics in the regions of the clumps show a positive velocity of ~ 100 km/s, similarly to the gas component. An analysis of the mechanism giving rise to the observed lines in the clumps through empirical diagnostic diagrams points out that the emission is composite, suggesting the contribution from both star formation and AGN. We conclude our analysis describing how scenarios of both chaotic cold accretion and merging with a gas-rich disc galaxy can efficaciously explain the phenomena the BCG is undergoing.

description: A special Kähler-Ricci potential on a Kähler manifold is any nonconstant $C^\infty$ function $τ$ such that $J(\nablaτ)$ is a Killing vector field and, at every point with $dτ\ne 0$, all nonzero tangent vectors orthogonal to $\nablaτ$ and $J(\nablaτ)$ are eigenvectors of both $\nabla dτ$ and the Ricci tensor. For instance, this is always the case if $τ$ is a nonconstant $C^\infty$ function on a Kähler manifold $(M,g)$ of complex dimension $m>2$ and the metric $\tilde g=g/τ^2$, defined wherever $τ\ne 0$, is Einstein. (When such $τ$ exists, $(M,g)$ may be called {\it almost-everywhere conformally Einstein}.) We provide a complete classification of compact Kähler manifolds with special Kähler-Ricci potentials and use it to prove a structure theorem for compact Kähler manifolds of any complex dimension $m>2$ which are almost-everywhere conformally Einstein.

description: We report on high-precision measurements of the temperature dependence of the plane-^63Cu NQR line frequency nu_Q(Cu2) and the linewidth in normal and superconducting ^16O and ^18O exchanged YBa_2Cu_4O_8. Whereas nu_Q(Cu2) passes T_c very smoothly without a discontinuity either in value nor in slope, the linewidth increases in the normal conducting phase down to T_c and starts to decrease sharply in the superconducting phase to finally resume its high-temperature value of the normal phase. There is a well discernible oxygen isotope effect on the nu_Q(Cu2) temperature dependencies. The temperature dependence of nu_Q(Cu2) is described by an empirical expression consisting of two parts: one related to the thermal expansion of the lattice and the other due to charge redistribution during the formation of new electronic structures in the CuO_2 planes. From the fit to the experimental data we determine for the conjectured formation of new electronic structures an energy scale Delta(^16O) = 188.0(1.6) K and Delta(^18O) = 180.0(1.6) K. This results in a partial oxygen isotope effect coefficient of 0.42(11) which is larger than both the spin-pseudogap coefficient [0.061(8)] and the T_c coefficient [0.056(12)].

description: The uncommon resilience of cooperatives in the aftermath of the 2008 global economic crisis has led to increased interest in measuring the economic impact of cooperatives and in unearthing the most appropriate method to be used. The objective of this paper is to conduct a critical analysis of the methodologies most commonly used to measure economic impact. The tradeoff between data requirements and computational complexity, and how well the model reflects the reality have made Input- Output the most common tool for economic impact analysis. However, several methodological issues need to be addressed when using Input-Output to measure the economic impact of cooperatives. Another important finding is that none of the methods captures the unique outcomes of cooperatives, such as countervailing market power, missing goods and services, or local economic stability. Additional analyses need to be conducted if an accurate assessment of the total economic impact of cooperatives is to be gained.

description: We study the structure of entanglement wedges in the Kasner-AdS geometry, which provides an example of AdS/CFT engineered cosmological singularity. We investigate the specific limitations of causal reconstruction methods, imposed by the presence of the cosmological singularities, and we show the supremacy of modular reconstruction. This model provides an example where modular reconstruction based on a proper operator subalgebra is more powerful than the strongest possible causal reconstruction, based on the complete operator algebra.

description: Qualitative and quantitative evidence reveals pervasive gender discrimination in many social and economic aspects in least developing countries, including Ethiopia. Investment in child schooling is an important dimension of this discrimination, which has a lasting consequence on both the child and the country’s economic development as a whole. The main objective of this study is to uncover if there is any intrahousehold gender-bias in the decision to enrollment and allocation of resources to child education. Using a panel data set from Ethiopian Rural Household Survey (ERHS), spanning from 1994-2004, we applied a panel hurdle models consisting of random effects probit for the initial decision in enrollment and conditional linear autoregressive model for the proportion spent. We found statistically significant gender-bias during the initial decision to enrollment against girls, especially those corresponding to secondary school cycle. Since the bias occurs inside the household, public investments should not only focus on facilitating access to school but also work towards altering the demand side as parents have differential preference towards siblings’ education. Policies that increase returns to girl’s education, increasing intrahousehold productivity, legislations that prohibit early marriage, etc. could mitigate the observed level of intra-household gender-bias against girls aged 15-19 years.

description: Experiment E950 at AGS, BNL has provided data with high statistics for the left-right asymmetry of proton-carbon elastic scattering in the Coulomb-nuclear interference region of momentum transfer. It allows to access information about spin properties of the Pomeron and has practical implications for polarimetry at high energies. Relying on Regge factorization the results for the parameter r_5, ratio of spin-flip to non-flip amplitudes, is compared with the same parameter measured earlier in pion-proton elastic and charge exchange scattering. While data for Im r_5 agree (within large systematic errors), there might be a problem for Re r_5. The πN data indicate at a rather small contribution of the f-Reggeon to the spin-flip part of the iso-scalar amplitude which is dominated by the Pomeron. This conclusion is supported by direct analysis of data for elastic and charge exchange pp and pn scattering which also indicate at a vanishing real part of the hadronic spin-flip amplitude at energies 20 GeV and higher. This is a good news for polarimetry, since the E950 results enhanced by forthcoming new measurements at AGS can be safely used for polarimetry at RHIC at higher energies.

description: In many cities of developing countries, such as Addis Ababa, water supply service is poor. At the moment, Addis Ababa city which accounts for over a quarter of the nations urban population is facing unreliable and inadequate supply of water and sanitation services. The paper raises crucial issues regarding the necessity to better understand the demand for improved water supply service in the absence of market and tries to link in relation to customers’ participation in the provision of improved water supply service. In an attempt to examine the determinants of the value of improved water service and to establish how much consumers are willing to pay, we use a contingent valuation method (CVM). The tobit model shows socio-economic and demographic variables such as Income of the household, sex of the respondent dummy (female = 1), Family size, education (both secondary and tertiary level), households' year of stay, households not using tank as a storage, wealth of a household, employment status of the respondent dummy (employed = 1) , households satisfaction with the existing service dummy (unsatisfied=1), and location of the study site (Addis Ketema) are significant variables that explain the willingness to pay. The mean willingness to pay (WTP) values are 15.34 and 20.20 cents per bucket (a 20 liter container) above the exiting average tariff of 7.14 cents per bucket as calculated from the tobit and probit model, respectively. The empirical evidence is an important input for strategic planning to ensure that improvements proposed potentially improve cost recovery initiative and increase the level of customer satisfaction.

description: Social Internet of Things are changing what social patterns can be, and will bring unprecedented online and offline social experiences. Social cloud is an improvement over social network in order to cooperatively provide computing facilities through social interactions. Both of these two field needs more research efforts to have a generic or unified supporting architecture, in order to integrate with various involved technologies. These two paradigms are both related to Social Networks, Cloud Computing, and Internet of Things. Therefore, we have reasons to believe that they have many potentials to support each other, and we predict that the two will be merged in one way or another.

description: Globally, governments initiate various programmes to address income poverty among rural farmers. However, studies that focus on the impact of such programmes on farmers’ income are either scanty or non-existent, especially in developing countries, including Nigeria. Therefore, this study examines the impact of Community-Based Agriculture and Rural Development Project (CBARDP) in Kwara State, Nigeria. Data were obtained from 120 respondents comprising 60 benefi ciaries and 60 non-benefi ciaries of the programme. Descriptive statistics and double-diff erence estimator were used for the data analysis. The study showed that there was 46.3% increase in the income of the benefi ciaries while the non-benefi ciaries had just 7.4% increase. The study further revealed that there was a positive income diff erence of N151.27 in favour of the benefi ciaries of the project. However, the constraints to deriving a full impact of the programme by the benefi ciaries were: lack of commitment by the facilitators, lack of technical know-how, poor transportation system and inadequacy of the equipment provided. The study therefore recommends policies aimed at overhauling the activities of the facilitators, improving the technical skill of the benefi ciaries, improving the transportation system and providing the benefi ciaries with more equipment.

description: The Neumann initial-boundary problem for the chemotaxis system \begin{align} \label{prob:abstract} \tag{$\star$} \begin{cases} u_t = Δu - \nabla \cdot (u \nabla v) + κ(|x|) u - μ(|x|) u^p, \\ 0 = Δv - \frac{m(t)}{|Ω|} + u, \quad m(t) := \int_Ωu(\cdot, t) \end{cases} \end{align} is studied in a ball $Ω= B_R(0) \subset \mathbb R^2$, $R \gt 0$ for $p \ge 1$ and sufficiently smooth functions $κ, μ: [0, R] \rightarrow [0, \infty)$. We prove that whenever $μ', -κ' \ge 0$ as well as $μ(s) \le μ_1 s^{2p-2}$ for all $s \in [0, R]$ and some $μ_1 \gt 0$ then for all $m_0 \gt 8 π$ there exists $u_0 \in C^0(\overline Ω)$ with $\int_Ωu_0 = m_0$ and a solution $(u, v)$ to \eqref{prob:abstract} with initial datum $u_0$ blowing up in finite time. If in addition $κ\equiv 0$ then all solutions with initial mass smaller than $8 π$ are global in time, displaying a certain critical mass phenomenon. On the other hand, if $p \gt 2$, we show that for all $μ$ satisfying $μ(s) \ge μ_1 s^{p-2-\varepsilon}$ for all $s \in [0, R]$ and some $μ_1, \varepsilon \gt 0$ the system \eqref{prob:abstract} admits a global classical solution for each initial datum $0 \le u_0 \in C^0(\overline Ω)$
