Abstract:
An enduring problem facing microfinance institutions is how to attain financial sustainability. Several studies have been conducted to determine the factors affecting financial sustainability of microfinance institutions using large and well developed MFIs in various countries. However, no such study has been conducted in rural Tanzania where majority of MFIs are small, most of which are member-based (cooperatives). Consequently, the factors affecting their financial sustainability are not known. This study, therefore, was set to bridge this knowledge gap. This study followed a quantitative re

The purpose of the insulator layer is to prevent the reaction and inter-diffusion between the ferroelectric layer and silicon substrate as well as to improve the retention properties. In this work, Dy2O3 and Y2O3 high dielectric constant films were used as the insulator layer

博士<br>國立交通大學<br>電子工程系所<br>93<br>In this thesis, several topics concerning the dielectric properties, device applications, measurement techniques of electrical hysteresis of ferroelectric thin films are studied. The introduction of the ferroelectric and dielectric materials, the basic operations of 1T1C ferroelectric random access memory (FeRAM) and other FeRAM structures are briefly described. The hysteresis measurement techniques of ferroelectric capacitors are also addressed. This thesis can be divided into two major parts: (1) the fabrication and characterization of MFM and MFIS structu

In this work, metal (Al)/ferroelectric (PZT)/insulator/Si MFIS capacitors and field effect transistors using hafnium oxide (HfO2) and zirconium oxide (ZrO2) insulator layers were fabricated. After deposition, the HfO2 and ZrO2 insulator films were first annealed at 500oC and the PZT films were annealed at different temperatures of 400oC, 500oC, 600oC and 700oC.

Abstract:
This dissertation examines the potential trade-off between financial performance and social impact of social business ventures, particularly focusing on the “flagships” of social businesses to fight poverty: Microfinance Institutions (MFIs). With the commercialization of the sector, the innovative idea of microfinance has increasingly attracted criticism in literature. Hence, this thesis investigates the previous research in that area and analyses one MFI in particular: KazMicroFinance (KMF) in Kazakhstan. The qualitative analysis is motivated by the following key research question: Do the fin

Abstract:
Companies go public in order to obtain more attractive financing prices from stock markets in exchange for the promise of delivering profits to the investors who buy their stock. Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) aim at alleviating poverty in the society by providing the poor with opportunities for the creation and development of income generating activities. The uprise in the number of connections between capitalist interests and social ones originated several discussions and controversies among the microfinance community. This paper presents SKS Microfinance IPO, which was the first Mic
