The Role of Financial Risks and Financial Sustainability in the Iraqi Stock Markets during COVID-19 Pandemic
Get PDFThis paper compares the company's ability to sustain a diversified resource base for long-term service to its customers without need for external funding sources through two stressful systems of financial markets, the financial crisis aftermath 2008 and the COVID-19 epidemic. Our findings indicate that financial sustainability has been affected by disasters. Banks can impose significant risks on the economy, one of the main concerns about the causes of the current financial crisis is that banks engaged in excessive risk-taking, it has faced during the 2008 crisis liquidity and credit risks, while Through the 2020 crisis which is the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, the most significant financial risks that banks experienced were credit risks due to banks ’dependence on traditional, weak, safe assets, including the dollar, the Swiss franc, and other treasury bonds during the COVID-19 pandemic. This led to a lack of cash reserves held by banks, which led to weak investor tolerance towards financial risks, especially as the nature of crises is changing, as the results have proven that departures from riskiest directorships are more beneficial during the COVID-19 crisis because managers deal with the crisis in the same way as a crisis 2008 On the other hand, departures from riskiest directorships lead to higher administrative costs due to a lack of expertise
The Administration’s Responsibility when it Refuses to Implement Administrative Judiciary Verdicts
Get PDFUsually Non-implementation of the judicial ruling issued by the administrative courts occurs when the administration refuses to implement it, the administration sometimes refuses to implement the judiciary verdicts, which means deviating from the provi-sions of the law and that considered dangerous, the administration duty and concern is implement the orders issued and decisions because it is a waste of the true value of the judiciary, and it is also considered an abuse of power. In this research, we will dis-cuss the legal solutions to the administration's refusal to implement the judiciary verdicts in Iraq
The Impact of Emotional Intelligence on The Performance of Accountants Working in Government Institutions: A Study of The Opinions of a Sample of Accountants and Auditors in Government Institutions
Get PDFThe aim of the study was to establish the effect of emotional intelligence on the performance of the Iraqi accountants in the professional environment. In this regard, the authors have conducted a field survey, which measures the viewpoints of a group of accountants and auditors working in government agencies, and found 210 respondents in total.The search found that there was a statistically significant relationship among the different dimensions of emotional intelligence and quality of performance of accountants. That is, high levels of emotional intelligence in an accountant is a favourable signifier of his or her professional competence and quality of work. Moreover, the paper reported that accountants who have a high level of emotional intelligence are in a better position to manage their feelings, adjust to work stress, and communicate effectively with other employees and clients, a combination of which boosts the accuracy and quality of their accounting services/work. The study therefore suggested that accounting institution should carry out training programs, and professional development schemes towards instilling skills on self-awareness, emotion, empathy, and teamwork. These interventions are likely to enhance the efficiency and performance of accountants at the work place
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
