Analysis of financial ratios: cross-country comparison in the automotive industry
No full textTato diplomová práce se zaměřuje na analýzu finančních ukazatelů a jejich srovnání napříč různými zeměmi. Hlavním cílem je identifikovat klíčové rozdíly a podobnosti ve finanční výkonnosti podniků v různých geografických kontextech. Práce využívá kvantitativní metody analýzy dat, které zahrnují finanční výkazy společností z vybraných zemí a odvětví. Ekonomické prostředí a specifické charakteristiky odvětví mohou mít významný vliv na finanční ukazatele, jako jsou rentabilita, likvidita a zadluženost. Tato práce poskytuje cenné poznatky pro investory, manažery a tvůrce politik, kteří usilují o lepší porozumění finančním dynamikám v globálním měřítku.This thesis focuses on the analysis of financial ratios and their comparison across different countries. The main objective is to identify key differences and similarities in the financial performance of firms in different geographical contexts. The thesis uses quantitative methods to analyze data that include financial statements of companies from selected countries and industries. The economic environment and specific industry characteristics can have a significant impact on financial ratios such as profitability, liquidity and debt. This paper provides valuable insights for investors, managers and policy makers seeking to better understand financial dynamics on a global scale
Alternative cryptocurrencies from an investor and bank perspective
No full textThe bachelor thesis deals with crypto assets both from the investment point of view and from the point of view of central banks as market regulators. However, the question remains whether or not this type of investment should be supported by the bank. Another question is whether an individual has a chance to make a profit on these types of investments. The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive assessment of the crypto market and the suitability of such investments. The thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical, with the theoretical part dealing with the origin, definition of basic concepts and regulation of cryptocurrencies and the practical part comparing an individual with a group. The results achieved through comparative analysis and data from group XY, it was found that the strategy would lead the individual to loss, therefore it was appropriate to stop the method, in contrast the results of the group analysis can be successfully applied. From the results it can be inferred that it would be more appropriate for individuals to diversify their portfolio. Regulators should monitor the movement of transactions. Due to the lack of transaction monitoring, regulators should monitor transaction movements more closely.Bakalářská práce se zabývá krypto aktivy jednak z investičního hlediska a jednak z pohledu centrálních bank, jakožto regulátorů trhu. Otázkou však zůstává, zda by tento typ investic měl být bankou podporován, či nikoli. Další otázkou je, zda má jednotlivec šanci na těchto typech investic vydělat. Cílem práce má být komplexní zhodnocení krypto trhu a vhodnost takovýchto investic. Práce je rozdělena na dvě části – teoretickou a praktickou, přičemž teoretická část se zabývá vznikem, vymezením základních pojmů a regulací kryptoměn a praktická komparací jednotlivce se skupinou. Dosažené výsledky pomocí komparativní analýzy a dat ze skupiny XY bylo zjištěno, že by strategie vedla jednotlivce do ztráty, proto bylo vhodné s danou metodou skončit, oproti tomu výsledky analýzy skupiny se dají úspěšně použít. Z výsledků se dá odvodit, že pro jednotlivce by bylo vhodnější portfolio diverzifikovat. Z důvodů nedostatečného sledování transakcí by regulátoři měli důsledněji sledovat pohyb transakcí

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
