Abstract:
In the wake of the financial crisis the systemic importance of banks for the stability of the financial system became evident. Finansinspektionen classifies the banks Nordea, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken, Svenska Handelsbanken and Swedbank as systemically important for the Swedish financial system. The Basel accords strive to increase the resilience of banks and the financial system by imposing stricter regulatory capital requirements. It is debated how these restraints affect the banks’ cost of capital which prompt the first research question of the study: How has the increase in regulation regarding the capital structure of banks affected Sweden’s major banks’ cost of capital? According to Modigliani & Miller a firm’s cost of capital is independent of its capital structure. The second research question is thus: Does the development regarding Sweden’s major bank’s cost of capital align itself with the Modigliani-Miller theorem? The purpose of the study is thus to assess how the increase in regulatory capital requirements have affected the Swedish major banks’ cost of capital and to what extent these developments align with the Modigliani-Miller theorem. The researchers utilizes a quantitative method and collected secondary data for the period 2008 to 2016 to answer the formulated hypotheses which are deduced from the theoretical framework.   The results from the study illustrate significant correlations between increased regulatory capital requirements and the cost of capital. The authors can however not assert the irrelevance of capital structure for the banks’ cost capital but find that reduced tax shields only have modest effects on the banks’ cost of capital.

Abstract:
Using large-company panel data, this thesis empirically analyses investment decisions in major European countries. We particularly concentrate on three issues: the taxation of capital in the EU, the role of agency costs of debt on investment decisions, and the empirical analyses of the investment-uncertainty relationship. First, based on a dynamic system in capital and Tobin's q ratio, some simplified analytical results are derived to simulate various tax policy effects on investment. Also, for a single investment project, a model is developed to consider jointly the role of uncertainty and irreversibility in the taxation of capital. The simulation results cast doubt on the tax competition view for the domestic investment case. Second, using a Euler equation approach, an investment equation is derived to test the possible effects of agency/financial distress costs of debt on investment for UK, German and French firms. The results reveal that the agency/financial distress cost of debt does matter for the highly leveraged firms. Further, an alternative model is derived in aq theory framework to test this negative effect. The model is tested for the UK firms, and similar results are obtained. Third, by considering the product structure of firms, the firm-level investment-uncertainty relationship is tested for UK firms. Unlike previous empirical findings, the results support the two opposing views in this field. Additionally, using vector autoregression analysis, a statistical account of the aggregate investment-uncertainty relation is given for the UK. An important observation is that although the exchange rate uncertainty has negative effects on machinery and equipment investment, it has no effect on construction investment.

Towne, Stuart. "Testing the Existence of Reputational Capital Among Major League Baseball Teams." TopSCHOLAR®, 1990. https://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/2922.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate the existence of reputational capital among Major League Baseball teams. Previous studies have shown that there is a strong relationship between past performance and current attendance at professional baseball games. Using reputational capital as an explanation, this paper provides a general discussion of this relationship. The discussion of reputational capital is followed by an empirical analysis which includes several model specifications designed to show the effects of past performance on current attendance. One series of models uses cross-sectional data to measure the effects in general across the league and another series of models uses time series data to show some specific examples and how the relationship holds up through time. The results of the empirical study show that there is generally a strong relationship between past performance and current attendance, although from team-to-team the magnitude of the effect varies. Consistent with economic and marketing theory, the results show that baseball teams accumulate and deplete reputational capital.

Luo, Mengyu. "Shanghai Symphony Orchestra in 'C' Major (1879 to 2010)." Thesis, Loughborough University, 2013. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/13384.

Full text
Abstract:
Shanghai Symphony Orchestra is a fascinating institution. It was first founded in 1879 under the name of Shanghai Public Band and was later, in 1907, developed into an orchestra with 33 members under the baton of German conductor Rudolf Buck. Since Mario Paci, an Italian pianist, became its conductor in 1919, the Orchestra developed swiftly and was crowned the best in the Far East by a Japanese musician Tanabe Hisao in 1923. At that time, Shanghai was semi-colonized by the International Settlement and the French Concession controlled by the Shanghai Municipal Council and the French Council respectively. They were both exempt from local Chinese authority. The Orchestra was an affiliated organization of the former: the Shanghai Municipal Council. When the Chinese Communist Party took over mainland China in 1949, the Orchestra underwent dramatic transformations. It was applied as a political propaganda tool performing music by composers from the socialist camp and adapting folk Chinese songs to Western classical instruments in order to serve the masses. This egalitarian ideology went to extremes in the notorious 10-year Cultural Revolution. Surprisingly, the SSO was not disbanded; rather it was appropriated by the CCP to create background music for revolutionary modern operas such as Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy. The end of Cultural Revolution after Mao's death in 1976 ushered in a brand new Reform-and-Opening-up era marked by Deng Xiaoping s public claim: Getting rich is glorious! Unlike previous decades when the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra together with music it performed was made to entertain the general masses, elitism came back under a social entourage characterized by Chinese-style socialism. The concept of elite, however, is worth a further thought. Shanghai is not only home to a large number of Chinese middle class but also constitutes a promising paradise for millions of nouveau riches which resembles, to a great extent, the venture land for those Shanghailanders a century ago. This thesis, as the title indicates, puts the historical development of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra from 1879 to 2010 in C major applying Pierre Bourdieu's cultural capital theory so as to understand how this extraordinary musical currency is produced, represented, appropriated and received by different groups of people in Shanghai across five distinct historical stages. Cultural appropriation tactics and other relevant theories such as cultural imperialism and post colonialism are also combined to make sense of particular social environment in due course. To put the SSO in C major does not infer that this musical institution and music it performed through all these years are reduced to economic analysis. Nonetheless, the inner value of music itself is highlighted in each historical period. A psychological concept affordance, first applied by Tia DeNora in music sociology, is also integrated to help comprehend how and what Chinese people or the whole nation latched on to certain pieces of music performed at the SSO in different historical phases. Moreover, musicological analysis is carried out in due course to elaborate on the feasibility of, for example, adopting Chinese folk songs to Western classical instruments and creating a hybrid music type during Cultural Revolution. Aesthetic value of music is thus realized in the meantime. Archival research is mostly used in this thesis supplemented by one focus group and one in-depth interview with retired players at the SSO. Fieldwork of this research is mainly based in the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra Archive; although materials from Shanghai Library and Shanghai Municipal Archive are also collected and made use of.

Full text
Abstract:
The focus of this thesis is on the acquisition of major capital equipment within Australia's defence system. For the purposes of this analysis, major capital equipment constitute selected projects with a total value of at least $200 million. The projects selected for examination are from each of the three arms of the military service. These projects are: the Royal Australian Air Force's BLACKHAWK helicopters, the Army's PERENTIE vehicles, and the Royal Australian Navy's Australian FFG-7 FRIGATES. These projects were chosen because they share similar planning and management related characteristics. They represent substantial public sector investments. The technology used in each of the systems is available 'off-the-shelf but the way in which the systems were ultimately assembled and produced are uniquely Australian: this adaptation and local innovation involved developmental work. Since each of these projects is almost complete, a comprehensive analysis of the project has been possible. The study of these particular projects provides the basis for a comparative analysis of the acquisition of major defence projects, and facilitates the development of project planning and management 'lessons'. Since current Australian public (and private) sector policies seek to maximise the use of leading edge technology by adapting it to meet specific local requirements; the examination of these three projects provides an objective determination of the validity of such policies.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with the regional economic impacts of the Hibernia oil and gas development. With the intention of showing the linkage-leakage process of major resource development, I develop a conceptual framework which combines notions of interregional input-output, location quotient and capital availability ratio. The framework suggests how standard approaches to input-output analysis could be modified by concepts of capital constraints; and used as a basis to formulate policies on how to extract significant economic benefits from resource development. The study shows that the impact of resource development, particularly on Newfoundland, would be restricted to a few industrial sectors. Thus, extensive regional economic development could not be carried out based mainly on natural resource projects dictated by the operations of market forces. The main reason is that there are limited manufacturing establishments in Atlantic Canada. Also, a significant portion of the equipment would be sourced from outside Canada. The results of the empirical analysis also indicate that given the manufacturing linkages between the provinces regional economic development should not be viewed in isolation, but rather should be considered within a broader context of how the regions relate to the national economy. Therefore, there is a need to develop a sourcing policy based on the principle of government-industry cooperation if the high expectations regarding the industrial and employments benefits to be generated by the Hibernia oil and gas development are to be realized. The challenge facing policy makers in the coming years would be to nurture through their initiatives government-industry cooperation, as well as, develop operational policies that would balance regional interests with national objectives; while maintaining the "Single Window" concept through the Joint Offshore Management Boards (JOMB). Finally, I discuss the recently concluded Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement (FTA) which is expected to come into force on January 1, 1989. There are seven specific provisions of the Agreement which would have an impact on major oil and gas development projects and the federal regional economic development policies and programs. The implications of the FTA would present a challenge to decision makers and analysts in designing programs and policies to optimize oil and gas development related benefits.

Boadu, Bernard. "An Analysis of the Flypaper and Fungibility Effects of Intergovernmental Revenue on Municipal Operating and Capital Budgets." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2020. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1703428/.

Full text
Abstract:
The flypaper effect states that grants-in-aid increases public spending more than a comparable increase in personal income. If aid increases spending, then there is the possibility that it displaces own-source revenue or a portion of the aid itself is used to meet other priorities of governments, fungibility. Different local government structures have the tendency to prioritize either the operating or capital budget. Empirical evidence shows that federal and state grants have different flypaper effect. While fungible state aid is allocated to the operating budget, that of federal goes to the capital budget. Council-manager and mayor-council form of governments do not allocate fungible intergovernmental aid differently between the capital and operating budgets.

Trabajo Terminal de Grado de la Maestría en Administración de Sistemas de Salud
La satisfacción laboral es uno de los puntos importantes para el ámbito laboral, considerando la relación que existe entre las personas y el trabajo que desempeñan, obteniendo como resultado diversas actitudes y comportamientos que poseen los empleados ante su trabajo, siendo esto un determinante para el éxito o fracaso de la institución en la cual laboran. Hoy en día, se considera que las instituciones son vitales en el desarrollo de la sociedad, de las cuales se exige competitividad y dinamismo, para insertarse en el mundo globalizado. Una de las preocupaciones más importantes de cualquier organización, es que sus recursos humanos puedan encontrar satisfacción laboral en un clima organizacional adecuado, ya que este factor puede determinar el logro de los objetivos de una organización. En el área de salud, la atención que se otorga al paciente, en gran parte, depende del factor humano, ya que actualmente se considera que la calidad de los servicios sanitarios, que se ofrece en un sistema de salud se encuentra relacionada con el grado de satisfacción personal, siendo uno de los factores condicionantes de la productividad.

"The Impact of Inflation on Capital Rotation in Inflationary Inflection Points : An Investigation on How Inflation Affects Capital Rotation Between Major Market Sectors as Economies Shift from Disinflation to Reflation." Thesis, Jönköping University, IHH, Nationalekonomi, 2021. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hj:diva-52814.

Full text
Abstract:
There has been a multi-decade disinflationary period that, with the conjunction of recent pandemic-related events, led to extremes in various economic metrics: record lowest interest rates and inflation, increasingly loose monetary and fiscal policies leading to severe debt levels and money supply - all resulting in a multi-front pressure on inflation to start increasing, and after 30 years, for economic environments to reach an inflection point from disinflation to reflation. How would various market sectors perform if suddenly inflation starts to surge? Previous research of similar events, such as in the 1970s, as well as theory, points towards certain market sectors and asset classes, such as commodities, to outperform their peers. Research on this topic is fairly scarce, thus, to better prepare for such an inflationary event and gain insight on which market sectors are best to invest in or avoid, this paper conducts an investigation to explore that scenario. By looking at 11 major market sectors over 10 countries' historic inflationary points that shifted from disinflation to reflation, analysis determined that, while certain sectors are indeed more sensitive to changes in inflation than others, many more are sensitive to changes in interest rates that normally accompany inflation. Sectors such as Energy, Consumer Discretionary and Financials would perform well during this period, while sectors such as Information Technology would historically underperform. Contrary to the theory, not enough relation was discovered by the analysis towards the commodity sector as a whole to overperform, however, that does not mean that none exist. Further research is still required on this topic to increase knowledge and awareness so that the negative impact of inflationary events like the ones of the 1930s and 1970s can be avoided and even taken advantage of.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis analyses individual experiences of the promotion process to Managing Director within a global bank to identify the contribution made by social capital. Using Nahapiet and Ghoshal’s (1998) three-dimension framework as the theoretical lens, the thesis extends social capital research beyond its largely quantitative focus on network analysis (structural dimension) to understand more clearly the relative importance and impact of the relational and cognitive dimensions. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 34 men and women in an investment bank and a template-based analysis of their accounts was made. The findings make visible, the invisible mechanisms which enable or constrain the creation, development and use of social capital and, therefore, its contribution to securing the position of Managing Director. The findings highlight the need to consider the importance of agency, relationship level and gender in this context. The study makes three key contributions. First, it extends Nahapiet and Ghoshal’s (1998) theory of social capital, in the context of career progression, by demonstrating how each social capital dimension is operationalized and interdependent. Second, the research explicitly demonstrates the crucial role social capital plays in an executive-level promotion process, thereby revealing a complex and multi-layered system. Third, the study extends our knowledge of the gendered nature of senior-level career progression by identifying the particular barriers women face, compared to men, in their efficacious use of social capital for promotion in a global bank.

Vilka konsekvenser har det hittills fått för bankerna då de redan börjat anpassa sig till kravet? Syfte: Syftet med studien är att beskriva vilka strategier som legat till grund för att de fyra svenska storbankerna skall klara av det högre kravet på kärnprimärkapital som Finansinspektionen ställer. Undersökningen ämnar även utvärdera vilka konsekvenser förändringarna har fått hittills för bankerna och vem som har belastats med kostnaden för det ökade kärnprimärkapitalet. Metod: Metoden som använts var av kvalitativ karaktär där sekundärdata som samlats in varit från böcker, rapporter och artiklar. Primärdata har samlats in från personliga intervjuer och analyserades sedan med hjälp av sekundära datan. Slutsats: De svenska storbankerna har implementerat tydliga strategier för att uppfylla Finansinspektionens krav. Det visade sig att de banker som använt sig av att se över sin prissättning också var de banker som ligger i topp vad gäller kärnprimärkapitalrelationen. Konsekvensen av det nya kravet har blivit ett större fokus på att ha rätt kunder samt kostnadsfokus för att på så vis täcka upp för de kostnader som kravet medför.
Abstract – “The higher demand on Core tier 1 capital from Finansinspektionen:                 study of the major Swedish banks”  Date: 2013-05-31 Level: Bachelor thesis in business administration, 15 ECTS Institution: School of Business, Society and Engineering Authors: Frida Hoffmann & Kajsa Ljungqvist Jansson Title: The higher demand on Core tier 1 capital from Finansinspektionen: study of the major Swedish banks Tuthor: Staffan Boström Keywords: Core tier 1 capital, the four major Swedish banks, Finansinspektionen Research Question: What strategies have the four major Swedish banks used to fulfill the recommendations from Finansinspektionen regarding higher level of Core tier 1 capital and how have they allocated the costs included? What consequences have the banks experienced so far as they have started to adjust to the new requirements? Purpose: The purpose of this study is to describe what strategies have formed the basis of the four major Swedish banks to manage with the increasing demands on the Core tier 1 capital from Finansinspektionen. The study also intends to evaluate what consequences the changes have had so far and who have been charged with the costs that the demand brings. Method: The method used was of a qualitative nature where the secondary data collected was from books and reports. The primary data collected was from personal interviews and was then later analyzed using the secondary data collected. Conclusion: All of the major Swedish banks now meet the requirements that Finansinspektionen imposes on its Core tier 1 capital. The numbers that differ between banks depends on what strategy has been used. It was found during the study that the banks that revised their pricing was also the banks that are at the top in terms of Core tier 1 capital ratio. The consequence of the new requirement appears to have been a greater focus on having the right customers and the right cost to manage the costs that the new requirement brings.

CAPES
Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar de que forma os boatos se propagam entre os participantes do mercado acionário e a sua influência nas oscilações de preços ocorridas na Bolsa de Valores de São Paulo. Para tanto, foi realizada através da pesquisa bibliográfica a identificação dos atores do mercado de ações e de suas redes de relações. Já a identificação dos fluxos de informação que circulam nessas redes foi baseada na literatura e nos dados obtidos através do levantamento dos comunicados das empresas de capital aberto. Para a análise da influência dos boatos nas oscilações de preços das ações, utilizou-se, como método de pesquisa, o estudo de casos múltiplos centrado nas dez empresas cujas ações tiveram maior volume de negociação no mercado à vista entre os anos de 2007 a 2011. A amostra foi selecionada a partir da soma do volume financeiro do histórico de preços do mercado à vista fornecido pela bolsa. Os boatos foram coletados dos comunicados das empresas emitidos para prestar esclarecimentos em relação a informações não oficiais divulgadas pela imprensa. A análise desses documentos permitiu criar um diagrama para a representação das informações acerca dos boatos e categorizá-los por assunto. Esse diagrama foi aplicado a uma base de dados para armazenamento das informações coletadas nos comunicados. Em seguida, essas informações foram recuperadas, juntamente com as cotações históricas, para se analisar a influência dos boatos nos movimentos de preço. O quadro teórico de referência é formado pelos autores Kapferer e Müller. Os resultados comprovam que os boatos, assim como as respostas das empresas sobre eles, exercem influência nas oscilações de preço das suas ações. Os investidores, ávidos por informações para diluir a incerteza, tomam decisões com base em boatos apostando na credibilidade dos meios de comunicação que os divulgam, mesmo sabendo que nem sempre são informações confiáveis. Além disso, como os agentes do mercado estão o tempo todo tentando antecipar informações que possam influenciar o desempenho econômico das empresas e o comportamento dos demais, a concorrência no mercado de ações se dá em torno do acesso à informação que pode ter diversos conteúdos e configurações e percorrer diferentes canais.
This research aimed to analyze how the rumors spread among the participants of the stock market and its influence on the price fluctuations occurred in São Paulo Stock Exchange. The work was carried out through literature search to identify the actors of the stock market and their networks of relationships. The identification of information flows that circulate in these networks was based on the literature and data obtained from publicly traded companies' communications. To analyze the influence of rumors on the fluctuations of stock prices, the multiple case study was used as research method focused on ten companies whose shares had higher trading volume in the spot market during the years 2007-2011. The sample was selected from the sum of the financial volume in historical prices of the spot market provided by the stock exchange. Rumors were collected from corporate communications issued to provide clarification regarding unofficial information disclosed in the press. The analysis of these documents helped to create a diagram to represent the information about the rumors and categorize them by subject. This diagram was applied to a database to store the information collected in the communications. Then, this information was retrieved, along with historical quotes, to analyze the influence of rumors in price movements. The theoretical framework is formed by the authors Kapferer and Müller. The results confirm that rumors, as well as the companies' responses about them, influence price fluctuations of its shares. Investors, eager for information to dilute the uncertainty, make decisions based on rumors betting on the credibility of the media that disclose them, even knowing that they are not always reliable information. Moreover, as market players are all the time trying to antici pate information that may influence the economic performance of companies and the behavior of others, competition in the stock market revolves around access to information that may have different contents and settings and go through different channels.

Abstract:
Determina el impacto que hay en la gestión administrativa del análisis de puesto y de las remuneraciones con el cumplimiento de la nueva Ley SERVIR, que se está ejecutando paulatinamente, en las diferentes instituciones públicas. Es de tipo correlacional y tiene un diseño no experimental. La muestra para esta investigación está dado por un total de 98 trabajadores designados que laboran actualmente en la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos. En ese sentido, para el análisis y recolección de datos se ha elaborado un cuestionario, a través de una encuesta, en el cual se operan las respuestas aplicadas por la escala de Likert. Dicha encuesta ha sido validada estadísticamente a través del Alfa Cronbach, cuyo valor es 0.95. Como resultado se encontró que el nivel de conocimiento de esta Ley es insuficiente por lo que los trabajadores están en desacuerdo con su ejecución, pues no entienden la forma en que se va a analizar los puestos y entienden poco sobre las reformas remunerativas. Asimismo, sus dimensiones generaron un impacto a nivel moderado, las cuales también fueron consideradas de baja aceptación.

Abstract:
Project failure continues to be a concern even though standards and procedures have been in place for years to counteract the issue. Many reasons for the high rate of project management failure have been purported in the research literature (Bauer, 2006; Hammoud, 2008 & Kerzner, 2002). This study analyzes the problem of high failure rate of major capital projects within Transnet Freight Rail. In addition to reviewing research literature that addresses projects failure concepts, critical success factors, project management principles, strategic alignment, skills and capabilities of project managers and how these factors might relate to major capital projects failure, the study will examine possible problems at the organizational and functional level that might be contributing to the high failure rate of major capital projects within TFR.

This paper analyzes the effect of major financial events on working capital management to enterprise financial performance. The research object is the electronic industry listed in Taiwan. Under the background of the financial tsunami in the autumn of 2008, the quarterly reports from the third quarter of 2005 to the third quarter of 2010 are adopted from the database of Taiwan Economic Journal for analysis. The results suggest that major financial events do have moderating effect on the relation between enterprise working capital and financial performance, which means when major financial events occur, the working capital management performs poor and the time for cash conversion cycle is longer that that during the period without major financial events. And the short-term financial performance performs poor. Besides, it is also found out that when the major financial events occur, the financial performance of electronics companies in the industries of upper reaches is significant and is poorer than that not in the upper reaches. The study contributes to the literature on working capital management as well as enlightens the management executives in electronic industry as to the operation.

To improve the deficiencies of the traditional fixed capital system in the past, we implemented the Risk-Based Capital (RBC) system on July 9th, 2003. It was the occasion that we acceded to the World Trade Organization (WTO), while introducing the American RBC system; there were a series of insurance reform measures, and the more important was to build RBC system. In 2005, KuoHua Insurance was the first case of the closure mechanism because of the mismanagement. We have implemented the RBC for a very short time. It is necessary to assess the performance, and worthy to review and analyses.   First of all, we treat the origin of the risk-based capital in the United States and realize the process of development and the basic denotation in the formula for the risk-basic capital, judging if it is suitable in our nation. Secondly, we review the deficiencies of RBC by using regulations of risk-based capital and solvency in the United States, Britain, Japan, European Union, and Mainland China; comparing the advantage and disadvantage among the nations. It is to discuss suggestions of the designed items of formula, calculations of the risk item, items of risk coefficient to strengthen the rights of consumers and insured, reflect the real condition of the insurance companies and then promote competitiveness in nations.   Finally, the dissertation suggests that there are dozens of proffer divided into five major aspects about the untimely RBC to make sure that the solvency of insurance companies is as much as the requirement of the jurisdiction and make the systems of the regulations with integrity and solidity.

The scale of community is between nation and family, and it is the bridge used to communicate these two as well. Community is a basic unit of national development, so the community development is helpful to nation and the publics. The researcher hope to develop the community with smart growth, making the community flourishing. The aims of this research are: (1) finding the necessary principle factors for developing the smart growth community. (2) Constructing the hierarchy structure for the smart growth community estimation, and finding the weight for each factors. (3) Constructing the estimation standards for the evaluating factors of smart growth community. The smart growth community estimation model is constructed by generalizing some relative factors after paper review, and sifting the estimation factors from expert group decision via Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM). Then the weights of respective estimation factors could be calculated through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Finally, each estimation factors will be divided into several levels and the data will be corrected after the experts examining. The conclusions of research are: (1)There are 26 estimation factors for smart growth community. The first layer includes Material capital and Intangible capital. The second layer includes Natural capital, Human capital, Built capital, Social capital, and Interaction capital. The third layer includes 18 factors such as Biodiversity, Community trust, Communication and Cooperation, and so on. (2)For the whole, the weight difference between the Material capital (0.523) and the Intangible capital (0.477) are small. The experts think the Human capital is more important than Natural capital and Built capital when driving community growth under the Material capital of Natural capital weight (0.344), Human capital weight (0.523), and Built capital weight (0.176). The experts think the Social capital is more important than Interaction capital under the Intangible capital of Social capital weight (0.622), and the Interaction capital weight (0.378). (3)Our research constructs 42 estimation standards for the evaluating factors of smart growth community to be the references for estimating the communities. According to the research process and conclusions, the community should set community network, community trust, and community standard as their primary consideration items for the community manage process if the community wants to develop toward smart growth is suggested.For the future suggestions, such as the following researcher might choose community base for this theory and make improvements aiming at the defects.

The capital structure reflects the capital activities for enterprise managers as well as the important indicator for judging the long-term debt-paying ability of investors. Since Modigiliani and Miller proposed the "capital structure irrelevance theories" in 1958, the capital structure has become one of the major emphasis of finance theories.The study mainly examines on the capital structure of construction companies in Taiwan. Two major stages could be identified in the study; one is to examine on the essential factors affecting capital structure of construction companies in Taiwan, and the other is to explore the optimal capital structure for the companies.At the first stage, two different models on capital structure are generated. The capital structure for the two models is defined by gross debt ratio and short-run debt ratio respectively. Mortgage value of assets, the natural logic value of company total asset, the natural logic value of adjusted corporate tax rate are negative relation of gross debt ratio. It is clearly that the adjusted corporate tax rate is positive relation with the gross debt ratio. The result is very different from other experimental studies of other industries.The second stage of the study is to investigate the optimal capital structure for construction companies. First, the mathematical programming is employed to find out the crisp solution. Second, the fuzzy theory is employed to find out the fuzzy solution. As the closure, a comparison is made among the past ratio, the estimated capital structure by regression, and the optimal capital structure.

Both the nicotine and its metabolite, cotinine, of tobacco are confirmed as the evaluation index of smoking exposed damage. In this study, intermal standard method and capillary electrophoresis were combined to promote the accuracy and precision of our analysis. The buffer solution was made by 25 mM Ammonium formate (10% acetonitrile), and the pH was maintain as 2.5. The capillary with the length of 67cm and the diameter of 75μm was used. With the condition of 25 kV applying bias potential, 10 sec sample injection time, 0.1 ppm internal standard concentration, the peak of nicotinine, internal standard and cotinine can be separated appropriately. The experimental results were calculated and indicate the fine linear relationship of nicotine and cotinine with the R2 of 0.9995 and 0.9994, respectively, and with the sensitivity of measured limit of 0.85 and 0.266 μg/mL, respectively, and with the interday variation of 5.73 and 5.26 %, respectively, and with the intra day variation of 7.76 and 6.10 %, respectively. The solvent extraction of tobacco and the content analysis of nicotine in tobacco were also discussed in our study. With ethanol extraction, the extraction efficiency can arrive 96% after 8 hours extraction. In addition, the extraction with ultrasonic was used. The result indicates the extraction efficiency can arrive 100% after 4 hours extraction with ultrasonic. The determination of nicotine content in tobacco was established. When the tobacco was eaten and cause the poison, the measurement of nicotine contaminant can be followed. Qualitative and quantitative determination of urinary nicotine and cotinine were flow through the solid phase extraction, after two stage eluent with the combination of internal standard method and capillary electrophoresis, the recovery of nicotine and cotinine were 78.34 and 93.01%, respectively. The CV of nicotine and cotinine were 4.08 and 1.18 %, respectively.

A capillary electrophoresis method was established for the determination of some common abused drugs in urine samples, including alprazolam, α-hydroxyalprazolam, clonazepam, 7-aminoclonazepam, diazepam, nordiazepam, flunitrazepam, 7-aminoflunitrazepam, norflunitrazepam, oxazepam, codeine, morphine, methamphetamine and ketamine . The method was developed using chemometric experimental design in a three-step procedure, including preliminary experiments, fractional factorial design (fFD) and central composite design (CCD). To find the significant variables, six factors were selected from the preliminary experiments, including the concentration and the pH of the phosphate buffer, the concentration of surfactant in the sweeping buffer, the percentage of organic solvent in the separation and the sweeping buffer, and the concentration of reconstitution solution. Then fFD was performed. Four out of these six factors were found to be siginificant, and were further investigated in the final step, CCD. In our study, samples were pre-treated with liquid-liquid extraction, then analyzed by using stacking with reverse migrating micelles as the on-line concentration method. The optimized CE conditions were as follow: First, phosphate buffer (75 mM, pH 2.5) containing 30% methanol was filled into capillary, then pressure injection (1 psi, 200 s) was used to load the samples. Phosphate buffer (75 mM, pH 2.5) containing 10% methanol and 65 mM SDS was used as the sweeping buffer to separate the analytes at −15 kV. During method validation, calibration plots were linear (r >0.992) over a range of 0.1-3 μg/mL for codeine, ketamine and methamphetamine and 0.15-3 μg/mL for morphine, 0.1-1 μg/mL for alprazolam and oxazepam, and 0.1-1.2 μg/mL for other analytes. During intra- and inter-day analysis, relative standard deviations (RSD) and relative errors (RE) were all less than 14%. The analytes could be simultaneously analyzed and have a detection limit down to 20-50 ng/mL. The results showed good coincidence with GC–MS or LC-ESI-MS. This method was feasible for application to detect trace levels of abused drugs.

Abstract:
Intellectual capital has been the focus of research in the knowledge-based economy, with authors attributing its intangibles the capacity of generating value for the company and constituting competitive advantages capable of enhancing business performance. Thus, if intangibles are associated with expected returns, a positive impact on turnover, and on other key performance indicators, can be expected. This research aims to identify the impact of different intangibles on the performance and profitability of the 25 major technological companies in the world, for a four-year period analysis (2014 – 2017), including characteristics of the board of directors as proxies of human capital. In order to achieve this goal, the correlation between the intangibles and performance was assessed through Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regression models were utilized. Broadly, based on the theoretical models, empirical evidence has shown a negative impact of some of the intangible assets disclosed on companies’ financial position on performance. The characteristics of the board displayed a positive effect on turnover, when considered alongside disaggregated measures of intangibles, reflecting synergetic effects between the variables. The most significant contribution to performance arises from software and research and development expenses, underlining the crucial role of innovation capital in this sector. Complementarily, this study assesses whether the distribution of the intangibles varies among regions, finding it does for the variables intangible assets, goodwill, licenses and patents, size of the board of directors, software and R&D and turnover, which presented higher means for the North-American region.
O capital intelectual tem sido o foco de investigação na nova economia do conhecimento, com autores a atribuírem aos intangíveis a capacidade de gerar valor e constituírem vantagens competitivas capazes de melhorar a performance organizacional. Assim, sendo os intangíveis associados a retornos futuros, é esperado um impacto positivo no volume de negócios e noutros indicadores de performance. Este trabalho pretende identificar o impacto dos diferentes intangíveis na performance e rentabilidade das 25 maiores empresas tecnológicas do mundo, num período de 4 anos (2014 – 2017), incluindo características do conselho de administração em representação do capital humano das empresas. Deste modo, a correlação entre os intangíveis e a performance foi avaliada através dos coeficientes de correlação de Pearson e foram utilizados modelos de regressão linear múltipla. Evidências empíricas sugerem um impacto negativo na performance por parte de alguns ativos intangíveis divulgados na posição financeira das empresas. As características do conselho de administração mostram um efeito positivo no volume de negócios quando consideradas juntamente com intangíveis desagregados, o que reflete efeitos sinergéticos entre as variáveis. A contribuição mais significativa para a performance é do "software" e das despesas de pesquisa e desenvolvimento das empresas, salientando o papel crucial do capital de inovação neste setor. Complementarmente, este trabalho testa a diferença da distribuição dos intangíveis segundo regiões, o que se verifica no caso das variáveis: ativos intangíveis, goodwill, licenças e patentes, tamanho do conselho de administração, "software" e P&D e volume de negócios, as quais apresentam médias superiores para a região Norte Americana.

The paper adopts Markov-switching (hereafter, MS) models to create and examine Two-Beta-Regime International Capital Asset Pricing (hereafter, ICAPM) model. Specifically, we use MS model to identify the high or low volatility regimes of stock market index returns, and incorporate indicator function settings and GARCH models to control a time varying of stock index return volatility and a state varying of betas in the ICAPM model. Ten major stock markets weekly index returns discussing in this paper include Dow Jones, Nikkei, Frankfurt-Commerzbank Index, London-FTSE100, Toronto-TSE300, Sydney Stock Exchange, Taiwan Stock Exchange, Hang-Seng, Singapore-Straitrs and Seoul-Composite. Besides, we adopt Morgan Stanley World index to server as the market returns. To create and examine in the different volatility regimes of stock market if the beta is single. According to our research results, we have the following inclusions: 1.There are two volatility regimes of stock market index returns of ten major stock market and Morgan Stanley world index. 2. The single beta of traditional ICAPM is the average of different volatility regimes of stock market. In fact, there are two betas and they are statistical significantly. 3.The best and the second models fall on the two-Beta-Regime International Capital Asset Pricing model that we create 9 models, including the prediction error of MSE, MAE and R2 as well as the value of maximum likelihood estimation, it is better than traditional ICAPM model

This thesis deals with rural development actors' social networks and individual social capital of mayors in municipalities belonging to local action groups Rozvoj Krnovska and Rýmařovsko. In my work I examine if there is any correlation between evaluation of funcionality of local action groups and degree of individual social capital of mayors in municipalities belonging to local action groups and between certain characteristics of actors' social networks. In the first part of the thesis I deal with rural areas' problems, development factors, social capital and social network in general. In the second part of the thesis I analyze results of survey, which took part in March 2017 between 34 mayors of municipalities belonging to local action group Rozvoj Krnovska and Rýmařovsko respectively. On the basis of survey results I continue with analyzing of mayors' individual social capital and types of social capital - bonding, bridging, linking. The study confirmed the key role of individual social capital (and bonding and bridging social capital) of rural municipality mayors for funcionality of local action groups. Key words: social capital - networks - development actors - rural area - mayors - local action group - MAS Rýmařovsko - MAS Rozvoj Krnovska.
