Abstract:

Measuring of the related diversification of enterprises requires the determining of its quantitative and qualitative aspects, reflecting the related and unrelated diversification. A large number of methods for quantitative measuring of unrelated diversification, allowing us to determine its level rather accurately and objectively have been offered. This can be achieved because this measurement is based on the objectively determined quantities, including the number of the areas of activities and the variation of the production volumes among them. The situation is different with the related dive

Abstract:

Evaluating the viability of hydropower projects involves a comprehensive examination of costs and benefits. Economic analysis extends to broader impacts, such as fuel diversification, market advantages, production cost savings, job creation, and improved reliability. Benefit-cost analysis compares monetary costs and benefits, including direct and indirect community effects. This study has used literature survey method to provide insights into projected and actual outcomes, supported by guidelines from institutions like ADB, UNIDO, and the World Bank.

Abstract:

Many small businesses grow by taking opportunities to diversify, although there are risks because of limited resources on all fronts. Businesses should weigh up the risks and costs of opting for growth carefully against the benefits. Diversification can take several forms, including new, related products or services to existing customers, new markets for existing products, new products for new markets. But the aim of every company is to decide when and how to diversify. Analysis of literature helps us to understand that finding best moment for diversification is related to the product or compa

We perform empirical analysis using a sample of 606 firm-year observations of Korean-listed manufacturing MNCs from 2005 to 2010. We find that ID is negatively associated with CSR, and that this relationship is stronger for chaebol firms. These

However, Raman measurements based on the specific fixed Raman geometry/polarization configuration are limited for the quantified analysis of c-Si performance, which makes it difficult to meet the high-end requirements of advanced silicon-based microelectronics and optoelectronics.

In view of this diversity, it was hypothesized that echimyid morphological variation in the pelvis and femur should reflect: (1) allometric association with body mass; (2) morphofunctional specializations for the different locomotor habits; and (3) phylogenetic history.

Abstract:

The ability to quantify morphological variation is essential for understanding the processes of species diversification. The geometric morphometrics approach allows reliable description of variation in animals, including insects. Here, this method was used to quantify the morphological variation among European and Asiatic populations of Leptura annularis Fabricius, 1801 and its closely related species L. mimica Bates, 1884, endemic for Japan and Sakhalin islands. Since the taxonomic status of these two taxa is differently interpreted by taxonomists, they are collectively called "Leptura annula

Purpose While trends of health and well-being have boosted the development of sports nutrition products, consumer research is limited. The purpose of this paper is to profile sports nutrition users and non-users, and to explain users’ preference and equity of sports nutrition brands. Design/methodology/approach A large online survey (n=3,165) was conducted with users and non-users of sports nutrition drinks in Belgium. Profiling was based on socio-demographic and sport related variables. For users, brand preference and equity of three key sports nutrition brands (n=1,075) were measured. Thereb

Abstract:

The application of the resilience concept within socioecological systems has recently received much attention. Assessing the characteristics of cocoa agroecosystems in the dry and moist semi-deciduous ecological zones has become critical for resilience analysis in this era of climate change and the constant shrinking of cocoa suitability areas. Previous studies have used one of the dimensions of resilience to analyse complex adaptive systems, excluding critical factors and variables.

Abstract:

This master thesis explores the intricate dynamics of Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) with a focus on understanding the dual dimensions of value creation and risk management. In the contemporary corporate landscape, M&A activities have emerged as pivotal strategic tools for companies seeking growth, diversification, and competitive advantage. The research aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of how these transactions contribute to shareholder value while effectively navigating associated risks. The literature review establishes the foundation by synthesizing existing knowledge on M&

Abstract:

A literature-based compilation of phylogenetic relationships and biometric measurements of 342 Cenozoic planktonic foraminiferal species suggests that the group shows a net increase in size through the Cenozoic, thus appearing to follow Cope's Rule of phyletic size increase. However, when the data are corrected for size-related biases, they do not support the hypothesis that this apparent trend is driven by an organismal adaptive advantage of larger size.When the planktonic foraminifera return to their “primitive” globigerine morphology during the Eocene-Oligocene transition, there is no indic

Abstract:

This study aims to assess levels of on-farm diversification in Vietnam. The results reflect regional differences in terms of on-farm diversification and its determinants. Households in northern regions have adapted to the fragmented and small-sized parcels of land by diversifying their on-farm activities. In contrast, the Mekong Delta region in the south of Vietnam is characterized by larger agricultural parcels and a specialization in rice production. Land use fragmentation, as reflected by a large number of plots in a given area, is one of the most important reasons for the high levels of on

Abstract:

Avian wing shape has been related to flight performance, migration, foraging behaviour and display. Historically, linear measurements of the feathered aerofoil and skeletal proportions have been used to describe this shape. While the distribution of covert feathers, layered over the anterior wing, has long been assumed to contribute to aerofoil properties, to our knowledge no previous studies of trends in avian wing shape assessed their variation. Here, these trends are explored using a geometric–morphometric approach with landmarks describing the wing outline as well as the extent of dorsal a

Abstract:

One of the most important challenges horticultural crops confront is drought, particularly in regions such as the Mediterranean basin, where water supplies are usually limited and will become even scarcer due to global warming. Therefore, the selection and diversification of stress-tolerant cultivars are becoming priorities of contemporary ornamental horticulture. This study explored the impact of water stress on two Tropaeolum species frequently used in landscaping. Young plants obtained by seed germination were exposed to moderate water stress (half the water used in the control treatments)

AbstractThe small size of Early Triassic marine organisms has important implications for the ecological and environmental pressures operating during and after the end-Permian mass extinction. However, this “Lilliput Effect” has only been documented quantitatively in a few invertebrate clades. Moreover, the discovery of Early Triassic gastropod specimens larger than any previously known has called the extent and duration of the Early Triassic size reduction into question. Here, we document and compare Permian-Triassic body size trends globally in eight marine clades (gastropods, bivalves, calci

This study casts light on the impact of the decision to diversify globally on the firm’s operating performance. Examining operating performance enables us to circumvent the measurement errors associated with excess value that is used to measure the diversification discount/premium. Our central empirical results for a sample of firms that chose to diversify globally reveal that sample firms, in spite of exhibiting a diversification discount, significantly outperform their domestic counterparts following the diversification. Our findings imply that global diversification does not result in misal
