BUDGETTICKS A MUST FOR THE GOVERNMENT
No full textSYNOPSIS The D.Litt Thesis herewith submitted, namely 'Budgetticks - A must for the Government'. This nature of research comes under the purview of the subject Public Administrations, which happens to be mine own discovery. Presently, there are huge problems in chalking out the yearly budget of the different countries in the present day world. Moreover, the countries which are in the arena of third world and underneath nations, this problem of framing of yearly budget has become a misnomer. The different Governments pertaining to such third world and underneath arena find the same, quite difficult in order to present their budget in thier respective Parliaments, or, before the Assemblies. In fact, there are no relevancies observed to-day, in between the different budgetary provisions (i.e. monetary provisions) and the resultant effects. Here, the Governments are meeting with their drastic failures in providing the people, which are very akin to maintain their lives and livelihoods towards, achieving a conducive sustenance. Here, Budget and its effects make no systematic impact in providing the people, their day to day necessities. Presently, most of the 3rd world and underneath nations are adopting the type of budget which are basically borrowed from the Britishers. During the colonial rule of the Britishers, they have imposed their ideas, their authority, responsibility, accountability, in the shape of forming the Governments, up to their own tastes. Unfortunately such Governments are not finding an outlet to be away from such unsuitable procedural ways as set up towards framing of the budget as made by the Britishers. Of course, partly the British system may have, some help to the capitalistic nations like U.S.A., U.K. and other European countries, but for the people of 3rd world and the underneath nations, this system only provides a distorted, hazy as well as quite an unsuitable order, in consideration to their geographical, social, political and anthropological behavioural orders.
Computational Modelling Concepts
No full text: This document describes the TINA-C Computational Modelling Concepts. These concepts provide the framework for the computational specification of distributed telecommunications applications. They provide the framework for describing an application in terms of computational entities that interact with each other. They specify the structures by which interactions occur between application components, define concepts governing management interactions, and define concepts concerned with discrete communication as well as continuous media communication. The modelling concepts define composite structures that can be used to specify software packages that can be independently installed and administered. The modelling concepts specify functional separations that must be adhered to by all applications. This document prescribes also structures and notations for the computational specification of telecommunications applications. Keywords: Building block, Computational interface, Computational ob..

Lending booms, reserves, and the sustainability of short-term debt - inferences from the pricing of syndicated bank loans
No full textAcademics pay little attention to international bank lending, focusing instead on rapidly growing market segments such as the international bond market and derivative credit instruments. The authors argue for paying more attention to international bank lending. Why? Three reasons. First, the syndicated bank loan is one of the workhorses of international capital markets. Second, international bank lending is especially important for private-sector borrowers, whose participation in international capital markets will grow as capital markets are liberalized and state enterprises privatized. Sovereigns and other governmental borrowers rely more on the bond market, while private borrowers are disproportionately important to the market in international bank loans. Private-sector borrowers establish long-term relationships with banks to resolve information problems. The authors find that international banks provide more credit to smaller borrowers (about whom information is least complete) than bond markets do. Bank finance dominates that segment of international financial markets with the greatest information asymmetry. Third, spreads on syndicated bank loans show much less variation than spreads on international bonds. Are bank lenders properly pricing country and credit risk? Does spread compression on syndicated bank loans suggest excessive moral hazard in international bank lending? The authors warn against over-dependence on high levels of domestic debt. While growth in domestic debt reflects improved inter-mediation between savers and investors, rapid increases to high levels are viewed as unsustainable and raise the cost of international borrowing. They find evidence of growing bullishness among bank lenders to East Asia in the first half of the 1990s, which could reflect moral hazard, but the jury is still out on that issue. High external short-term debt can coexist with rapid growth for extended periods but is likely to unravel if perceptions of sustainability shift.Payment Systems&Infrastructure,Economic Theory&Research,Banks&Banking Reform,International Terrorism&Counterterrorism,Financial Intermediation,Housing Finance,Economic Adjustment and Lending,Banks&Banking Reform,Financial Intermediation,Economic Theory&Research
The first Soviet magazine in the Romani language: on the problem of the date of issue
No full textThe first issue of the magazine Romany Zorya (The Romani Sunrise) attracts our attention for a number of reasons. Its publication was scheduled for November 1927 and this date is shown in the magazine. Formally, the next issue appeared after about 2 years. Such a long break is not usual for periodicals; it may indicate some sort of difficulties. The article argues that the first issue had been most likely delayed hence the very important aim of its publication (to be timed to the 10th anniversary of the October revolution of 1917) has failed. In search of the reasons for this delay, the author found evidence of a later than formally shown publication date (this conclusion is possible because a person who played a leading role in creating, preparing for printing, and publishing the first issue of the magazine, Alexandr Germano, has given controversial information about the date of issue, as one can suppose, trying
to hide some sensitive facts) Alexandr Germano, who played a leading role in creating, preparing for printing and publishing the first issue of the journal, provided conflicting information about the date of issue, as you might guess, trying to hide some delicate facts), or a very strange period of official of disregard for the first issue of the first Soviet Romani magazine. It was not mentioned among
Romani publications in 1929. The latter could be linked with a serious “political mistake” the absence of the main proletarian slogan Workers / Proletarians of all countries, unite! in the title page header)
Structural changes in metals consumption
No full textFor 15 years the metals market has been characterized by slow growth - in some cases, even decline - in consumption. To test the proposition that structural changes in demand were the main cause of the slowdown, the author - drawing on U.S. data - uses an extended metals demand model that recognizes energy, labor, capital, and other materials as major inputs. The traditional model explains metals consumption in terms only of output and the prices of metal and its substitutes. It is inadequate to address the issue of structural change because it ignores other factors of production, such as energy, which have experienced dramatic changes. With the extended model, the null hypothesis of no structural change cannot be rejected for most metals. With the conventional model, the null hypothesis of no structural change is strongly rejected. Results with the extended model show that the downturn can be explained mostly by changes in the input variables, particularly such nonmetal inputs as capital and energy, which are much more important cost items than metals and have undergone drastic cost changes over the period.Environmental Economics&Policies,Economic Theory&Research,Montreal Protocol,Mining&Extractive Industry (Non-Energy),Primary Metals
The mainstream primary classroom as a language-learning environment for children with severe and persistent language impairment - implications of recent language intervention research
No full textMany UK children with severe and persistent language impairment (SLI) attend local mainstream schools. Although this should provide an excellent language-learning environment, opportunities may be limited by difficulties in sustaining time-consuming, child-specific learning activities; restricted co-professional working, and the complex classroom environment. Two language intervention studies in mainstream Scottish primary schools showed children with SLI receiving intervention from speech and language therapists (SLTs) or their assistants made more progress in expressive language than similar children receiving intervention from education staff. Potential reasons for this difference are sought in the amount of tailored language-learning activity undertaken; how actively school staff initiated contact with SLTs; and the language demands of the classroom. Tailored language learning appears to be a differentiating factor. A language support model, reflecting views of teachers and SLTs about encouraging language development for children with SLI within the ecology of the mainstream primary classroom, is also outlined
The molecular diagnosis of Pneumocystis pneumonia in children using nasopharyngeal aspirate samples
No full textPneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) is an important opportunistic infection caused by thefungus Pneumocystis jirovecii. The incidence of PCP in sub-Saharan Africa is on theincrease. This is due to the progression of the HIV-pandemic and limited access to healthcare facilities, specific highly active anti-retroviral therapy and chemoprophylaxis. It is a major cause of hospitalization and mortality in HIV-infected children with in-hospital case-fatality rates ranging from 20-63%
