The Impact Of The Development Of ICT In Several Hungarian Economic Sectors
Get PDFAs the author could not find a reassuring mathematical and
statistical method in the literature for studying the effect of
information communication technology on enterprises, the author
suggested a new research and analysis method that he also used to study the Hungarian economic sectors. The question of what
factors have an effect on their net income is vital for enterprises. At first, the author studied some potential indicators related to economic sectors, then those indicators were compared to the net income of the surveyed enterprises. The resulting data showed that the growing penetration of electronic marketplaces contributed to the change of the net income of enterprises to the greatest extent.
Furthermore, among all the potential indicators, it was the only indicator directly influencing the net income of enterprises.
With the help of the compound indicator and the financial data
of the studied economic sectors, the author made an attempt to find a connection between the development level of ICT and
profitability. Profitability and productivity are influenced by a lot of other factors as well. As the effect of the other factors could not be measured, the results – shown in a coordinate system - are not full but informative.
The highest increment of specific Gross Value Added was
produced by the fields of ‘Manufacturing’, ‘Electricity, gas and water supply’, ‘Transport, storage and communication’ and
‘Financial intermediation’. With the exception of ‘Electricity, gas and water supply’, the other economic sectors belong to the group of underdeveloped branches (below 50 percent).
On the other hand, ‘Construction’, ‘Health and social work’ and
‘Hotels and restaurants’ can be seen as laggards, so they got into the lower left part of the coordinate system.
‘Agriculture, hunting and forestry’ can also be classified as a
laggard economic sector, but as the effect of the compound
indicator on the increment of Gross Value Added was less
significant, it can be found in the upper left part of the coordinate system. Drawing a trend line on the points, it can be made clear that it shows a positive gradient, that is, the higher the usage of ICT devices, the higher improvement can be detected in the specific Gross Value Added

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.

Application de l'analyse factorielle multiple au traitement de caractèrs en échelle dans les enquêtes
No full textAbout accreditation processes.Some similarities and disparities
No full textQuality is nowadays an important issue to be applied to everything. The evaluation of the quality standards is sometimes an obsession extended to all the human activities. Sometimes these criteria could hide other secondary intentions avoiding certain competitiveness. The second half of the last century was characterized by the expansion of the teaching Institutions according to the demographic explosion in almost all the planet, especially in the emerging countries. The progressive urban concentration helped to the democratization of the education as an engine to ensure the progress of the several cultures. The final step of this process is arriving with the application of e-learning processes where problems of territorial motilities are avoided. After this proliferation, with different quality results, the responsible Institutions have decided to apply the quality criteria. High Education (HE) Institutions are affected by this crescent preoccupation. This paper tries to analyze some of the different processes developed by Official and Professional institutions in Europe and Eastern Mediterranean countries along the last two decades.
The homogenization of these process is the main characteristic in Europe, because the Bologna process. Several experiences previously developed were harmonized and adapted for the Bologna grid. The initial intentions from the Professional Associations to control this process were forwarded to the respective National Agencies. The roles of the professional associations were progressively deactivated. In Eastern Mediterranean countries the experience is leaded by the British and USA Institutions.
The work is about the evaluation of the Schools of Architecture and its comparative analysis cover different case studies in three southern European countries (Portugal, Spain and Italy) and Lebanon. The author tries to define the changes these processes have experimented. The conclusions must show the similarities and disparities and discuss about the rationality of these processes when applied to different cultures. It seems that the criteria for the evaluation must pay attention to the specificities, cultural and economic conditions of the different faculties to be evaluated. The globalization of some of these processes can be a trouble to respect the singularities of the different systems
The equity premium in 100 textbooks
Get PDFI review 100 finance and valuation textbooks published between 1979 and 2008 by authors such as Brealey and Myers, Copeland, Damodaran, Merton, Ross, Bruner, Bodie, Penman, Weston, Brigham and Arzac and find that their recommendations regarding the equity premium range from 3% to 10%. I also find that several books use different equity premia on different pages. Some of the confusion arises from not distinguishing among the four concepts that the term equity premium designates: historical equity premium, expected equity premium, required equity premium and implied equity premium. Finance textbooks should clarify the equity premium by providing distinguishing definitions of these four concepts and conveying a clearer message about their sensible magnitudes.equity premium; equity premium puzzle; required market risk premium; historical market risk premium; expected market risk premium; risk premium; market risk premium; market premium;

Visual Snippets: Summarizing Web Pages for Search and Revisitation
No full textPeople regularly interact with different representations of Web pages. A person looking for new information may initially find a Web page represented as a short snippet rendered by a search engine. When he wants to return to the same page the next day, the page may instead be represented by a link in his browser history. Previous research has explored how to best represent Web pages in support of specific task types, but, as we find in this paper, consistency in representation across tasks is also important. We explore how different representations are used in a variety of contexts and present a compact representation that supports both the identification of new, relevant Web pages and the re-finding of previously viewed pages
