The impact of environmental accounting compliance on share prices of listed companies / Ruan BlignautBlignaut, Ruan January 2014 (has links)
Background: Sustainable development is the buzzword of the decade, yet developing countries struggle to comply with environmental guidelines. A study was done to determine the possibility of financial gain by means of share price prosperity as a result of compliance with environmental accounting principles.
Objective: To investigate the relationship between the commitment to environmental accounting principles and the share price of Main Board listed companies on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
Design: A quantitative, cross-sectional design with descriptive, explanatory and contextual elements was undertaken.
Setting and Sample: An all-inclusive sample of the announcements of the Main Board listed companies of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange between 1 June 2008 and 1 June 2013 was used, as well as a stratified random sample of 32 companies – 16 as listed on the SRI Index and 16 not.
Measurements: Data related to compliance with environmental accounting principles were correlated with share price fluctuations of Main Board listed companies. T-tests were done to determine whether a correlation exists between compliance with environmental accounting principles and fluctuations in share price.
Results: 56 instances of upward trends and 80 instances of downward trends after one month followed announcements that included compliance to environmental accounting principles (one constant and one unknown). 52 instances of upward trends and 54 instances of downward trends after one year followed these announcements (30 unknown). 48 out of 336 listed companies (14%) announce environmental accounting principle compliance with their shareholders. More announcements referring to environmental accounting compliance were posted in 2012 and 2013 (n = 17 and n = 22 averaged for six months) compared to those in 2008 to 2011 (n = 9; n = 15; n = 14 and n = 15 averaged for six months). 56% of companies complying with environmental accounting principles are from the mining industry. 39.19% of principles complied with was within the diverse principle division. P-values derived from t-tests done to investigate correlations between share price and compliance with environmental accounting principles on various levels all revealed P-values of more than 0.25.
Conclusions: No statistically significant correlation could be made between compliance with environmental accounting principles and fluctuations in share price. There is low divulgence of compliance practices to shareholders from mentioned companies. An upward trend for compliance with environmental accounting principles is noted during the past five years. The mining industry showed the greatest compliance with these principles when judged according to divulgence of compliance by means of announcements to their shareholders as well as when judged according to stance on the SRI Index. / MBA, North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014

Using Funeral Listings and Newspaper Obituaries as Early Indicators of Excess MortalityArcher, Allen D 18 March 2021 (has links)
Abstract
Objectives: To identify a simple and effective means for public health professionals in rural communities to identify excess mortality using publicly available data.
Methods: Online data from four rural funeral homes, and obituary data from the most widely circulated newspaper in the same region were collected from January 2017 through December 2020. A three-year monthly average of death listings was created for 2017-2019 and compared, month-by-month with the amount of 2020 death listings.
Results: The four funeral homes reported a total of 3,957 deaths, and there were 7,623 newspaper obituaries published between January 2017 and December 2020. In the five-month period following the first COVID-19 death in the region on July 28, 2020, funeral home reports and newspaper obituaries reported a 20.2% and a 14.5% increase in deaths, respectively, for 2020 compared to the prior three-year average.
Conclusion: During the five months following the first death attributed to COVID-19, funeral home reports and newspaper obituaries both identified a significant increase in deaths over the monthly average death listings of the three years prior.
Policy Implications: Local public health officials may be able to use a multi-year, month-by-month summary of deaths, as reported by funeral homes and/or newspaper obituaries, to provide an “early indicator” of excess mortality in rural areas.

PC software for the teaching of digital signal processingKatzir, Yoel 03 1900 (has links)
Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited / The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the Naval Postgraduate School has a need for additional software to be used in instructing students studying digital signal processing. This software will be used in a PC lab or at home. This thesis provides a set of disks written in APL (A Programming Language) which allows the user to input arbitrary signals from a disk, to perform various signal processing operations, to plot the results, and to save them without the need for complicated programming. The software is in the form of a digital signal processing toolkit. The user can select functions which can operate on the signals and interactively apply them in any order. The user can also easily develop new functions and include them in the toolkit. The thesis includes brief discussions about the library workspaces, a user manual, function listings with examples of their use, and an application paper. The software is modular and can be expanded by adding additional sets of functions. / http://archive.org/details/pcsoftwarefortea00katz / Major, Israeli Air Force

Bära eller brista - byte av noteringslista? : Nya resultat från svenska aktiemarknadenWange, Erik, Wikman, Tor January 2011 (has links)
Denna eventstudie syftar till att undersöka hur ett byte av noteringslista påverkar kumulativ onormal avkastning (CAR) 1 till och med 12 månader efter genomfört byte. I studien undersöks därför utförda byten av noteringsplats på den svenska aktiemarknaden under tidsperioden 1995-2009. I studien beräknas onormal avkastning delvis med marknadsmodellen (MM) som grund, men också med Fama & French tre-faktormodell (FF) för att öka reliabiliteten. Vidare undersöks om skillnader i CAR föreligger under olika tidsintervall samt om olikheter förekommer efter att berörda företag delats in i undergrupper baserade på typ av byte, industri samt storlek. Slutligen testas utifall den eventuella kumulativa onormala avkastningen är signifikant skild från noll med student t-test samt om det föreligger skillnader i medelvärde i de olika undergrupperna. Resultatet visar att den genomsnittliga kumulativa onormala avkastningen (CAR) uppgår till – 4,57 % (MM), - 3,74 % (FF) en månad efter bytet, vilket är signifikant på 1 % - nivån. Denna negativa tendens håller i sig och efter 12 månader uppvisas CAR på – 20,20 % (MM), -16,99 % (FF) även dessa statistisk säkerställda på 1 % - nivån. Detta resultat är i linje med liknade studier på andra aktiemarknader. Vi kan alltså dra slutsatsen att detta fenomen även föreligger på den svenska aktiemarknaden samt konstatera att händelsen listbyte är något både företag och aktieägare bör beakta mer varsamt.
