PDF Ebook Solutions for intelligent nutrition

Submitted by antoq on Wed, 08/04/2010 - 01:59

The objective of this roadmap was to feature the drivers, needs and future potential for various actors involved in the food production and distribution chain, but also for actors developing services offering communication and motivation tools for consumers who wish to improve their nutrition. The roadmap was divided in two parts: 1) background part, which gives readers a review of the state of art, and 2) the actual roadmap part. In the roadmap process, seven general drivers influencing the challenges and needs of various stakeholders in the area of foods, nutrition and eating patterns were first identified: healthcare costs, sustainability, ubiquitous ICT, information flow, ageing, cultural mixing and individualism. Then five themes, 1) Convenience, 2) Values and communality, 3) Physiological functionality, 4) Communication and 5) Personification, were identified in multidisciplinary workshops. The themes were discussed one by one in a view of nutrition and eating habits in thematic sub-roadmaps, with following outcome.

Convenience includes saving of time, but also saving of psychological energy and effort. Need of convenience is linked to availability and delivery of healthy foods, easiness of understanding and monitoring the impact of food on health. Values and communality guide consumers’ food choices and eating habits. The importance of collective and protective values will increase, although food price and taste are still the most important determinants of buying decisions. Generation of new communities will continuously increase fragmentation, and the new consumer sectors will be based more on lifestyle factors than on traditional demographics. Understanding physiological functionality of food is the template of the roadmap, since diet has a major effect on health and quality of life. Based on the new information about health effects of foods, development of functional foods tailored for certain risk groups will continue. Personal risk scores will be utilised in the future to facilitate dietary guidance. Communication is today that consumers use various communication channels, but they are critical to reliability of communication. Personal and entertaining communication not restricted to the place or devices will increase. Personification means that healthy diets are based on personal taste and health needs, as well as on culture and values. Personal guidance solutions direct food choices according to personal risks and physiology.

Ebook Do firm-to-segment reconcilable earnings differences affect stock prices?

Submitted by puput on Wed, 07/20/2011 - 04:49

This study investigates whether the market accurately incorporates the pricing effects of the persistence of segment-related components of earnings: aggregated segment earnings and firm-segment reconcilable differences (FSD). This study adds to the extant literature on the pricing of different components of earnings and the quality of financial reporting under the SFAS No. 131 segment reporting regime. The results indicate that mispricing does occur, when firms report positive FSDs, by the market underestimating FSD persistence. For these same firms, investors can also earn positive abnormal returns. On the contrary, we find investors earn negative abnormal returns when firms report negative FSDs. Collectively, this study provides evidence that mispricing occurs and that investors over/under estimate the importance of FSDs.

Ebook The Risks of Financial Risk Management

Submitted by puput on Tue, 01/26/2010 - 03:18

Episodes of financial instability are a well-documented fact of economic history. This, in combination with the numerous systemic and non-systemic banking crises internationally on record, suggests that financial institutions, and especially banks, operate in a high-risk environment. As may be expected, this situation has not escaped industry and regulatory body attention. Already early on, certain forms of regulation and of organizational techniques of prudence emerged. Then, with the onset of the 1970s, conditions for the international financial services industry began to undergo increasingly rapid changes. Attendant to the end of the post-World War II “golden age of capitalism”, the determining economic arrangements of the period, such as most prominently the Bretton Woods system of pegged exchange rates, disintegrated. Key economic variables including economic growth rates (which tended to decrease markedly in the developed countries), exchange rates, inflation rates, and interest rates started to exhibit significantly higher volatility.

In short, (financial) markets were becoming increasingly complex, uncertain, and risky. In response, new, derivative, financial instruments (futures, options, swaps, etc.) were introduced to better facilitate risk trading and management. By now, derivatives market sizes are enormous as is their role in both risk management and as a source of risk. In effect, both the broader institutional and economic changes and the financial industry’s reaction to them greatly added complexity and opacity to the financial system. New derivative instruments with non-linear pay-off profiles created blow-up risks while complicating risk supervision by top management and regulatory authorities. A number of ensuing high-profile blow-ups in the 1990s brought the issue of financial risk management firmly to the forefront of both top management and regulatory body attention.
