The purpose of this research is to develop cost-effectiveness tools for the analysis of company?s intellectual resources, in terms of resource-based and value-based approaches. Our study focuses on the evaluation of intellectual capital methods to discover the drivers of company growth. We suppose that the potential effectiveness of intellectual capital resources varies according to different institutional factors. Several statistical methods will be used for the empirical issues in this research, including common cross-sectional and panel data analysis, and the instrumental variables method. The database collected for this purpose will consist of financial and economic indicators underlying the intellectual capital evaluation, such as strategic performance indicators (EVA? and FGV?). The dataset includes companies from different countries and industries according to the Knowledge Economy Index of the World Bank. The industries presented in the dataset are selected according to the predominance of several intellectual capital elements. The database includes financial services, wholesale and retail trade, machinery and equipment manufacture, the chemical industry, and transport and communications. As a result of the empirical research, we expect to answer the following questions: ? Is there a close relationship between intellectual capital quality and company performance? ? What are the external and internal factors affecting this relationship? (country, industry, company size, market dynamics, etc.)

Tanzania like many other developing countries is highly dependent on agriculture for income generation and job creation for its citizens. Because the sector is mainly composed of smallholder farmers, lack of finance remains the leading obstacle to development. This study seeks to determine factors that affect access to bank credit by smallholder farmers in the Mvomero District of Morogoro, Tanzania. The study used a cross-sectional design, with data being collected via the survey method. Purposeful sampling was used to obtain the respondents who fitted into the study objective. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a logistic regression model. The Logit regression model in particular was employed to determine factors that affect smallholder farmers’ access to bank services. The study reveals that the value of assets invested in farming activities, education and gender are significant factors affecting smallholder farmers’ access to bank credit. Policy recommendations include the establishment of a government bank that would exclusively provide financial services to agriculturalists by establishing a credit guarantee scheme, and the development of new financial products by the banks that would cater to the needs of smallholder farmers. Key words: access, bank credit, smallholder farmers, logit regression

The Relationship

Ever increasing trade restrictions have severe consequences for the quality of human life. Since improving the quality of life (QoL) is the core of economic development, therefore, it is important to investigate the factors affecting it. International trade is an important factor which affects QoL. Therefore, the current study is an attempt to analyze the nexus of international trade and QoL in the member countries of the United Nation Development Program (UNDP). Since QoL is a subjective measure, therefore, human development index (HDI) was used to empirically measure it. Data of 184 UNDP member countries for a period of 28 years (1990-2017) was analyzed in the current study. Both cross-sectional and panel data analysis techniques were used. The results indicated that international trade positively affects QoL. Hence, it was concluded that instead of remaining a closed economy, countries should promote international trade to improve the QoL of their people.

The importance of intellectual capital aspects for companies makes this topic interesting to be researched today, especially related to the contribution of IC in encouraging company performance. Profitability is an appropriate benchmark in measuring the performance of a bank. One measure of profitability used is Return on Equity (ROE). ROE is used to measure the effectiveness of a company in generating profits by utilizing the equity it has. This study aims to determine the Impression of Intellectual Capital and Risk Profile on Profitability of BPR Syariah in East Java Province. This type of research used in this research is descriptive research with a quantitative approach. The population used in this study were all Sharia Rural Banks (BPRS) of East Java Province which were recorded in the Financial Services Authority (OJK) for the selected period of 2015-2018 with a total population of 26 banks. The sample in this study was selected by purposive sampling. This study concludes that the NPF ratio has no effect on ROE. Except for Intellectual Capital and FDR it has a significant influence on ROE.

The Relationship

Nowadays, the rapid development of information, communication and information technology increases the importance of information. The concept of knowledge management for businesses is becoming the biggest competitive element of the business and the prospect of intangible assets is steadily increasing. This situation gives priority to the concept of intellectual capital, which contributes the most to the value of the enterprises. In the literature, there are many studies on the relationship between intellectual capital concept and firm financial performance, and these studies generally focus on how intellectual capital is calculated. Human capital, structural capital and customer capital, which are the elements of the intellectual capital concept, are more prominent in the banking sector than the service producing sectors and are more evident than the company performance. The aim of our work is to examine the effect of intellectual capital on banks operating in Turkey and whose stocks are traded on the Stock Exchange Istanbul. In this context, the Intellectual Value Added Coefficient (VAIC) method developed by Ante Pulic was used to calculate the intellectual capital of the banks. In our study, the data of 13 banks under independent supervision during the period of 2009-2016 were analyzed by panel data analysis method and the relationship between intellectual capital and profitability of the banks, profitability of assets, net profit margin and equity profitability ratios were tested. As a result of the analysis made, a positive relationship was found between the intellectual capital of the banks and the financial performance.

Corporate social responsibility activity is a strategy that contributes to the improvement of company performance in the long run. Investment on intellectual capital development has a close relationship with stakeholders through corporate social responsibility activities that eventually affect company performance. This study aims to examine the role of intellectual capital as a mediator between corporate social responsibility and banking company performance. The samples for this study were 20 bank companies that were listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in year 2014-2018. The findings have proved empirically that intellectual capital as a mediating variable has a significant effect on the relationship between corporate social responsibility and performance of bank companies. Therefore, bank companies are expected to invest more intangible assets or intellectual capital and deliver their corporate social responsibility activities. As an implication of this study, the bank companies must carry out activities that provide added and unique values from their corporate social responsibility programs because the programs are the company's responsibility to fulfil the applicable regulations, community and their environment.

The pharmaceutical industry in Indonesia has good prospects in the future. With the outbreak of Covid 19, the pharmaceutical industry is increasingly important. Firm value reflects the ability of a company to return investment so as to convince investors to invest in the company. It leads us into question what has an impact on firm value. This study aims to determine and analyze the effect of firm size, solvency, and profitability on company assessment either simultaneously or partially. The population in this study were pharmaceutical companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2013 to 2018. The sample in this study was selected using a purposive sampling method which selected 7 companies from 12 companies that would be used as research objects. The data analysis method used is the panel data analysis method or a combination of cross sectional and time series. The research results obtained are simultaneously firm size, solvency, and profitability have an effect on firm value. Meanwhile, partially solvency and profitability have an effect on firm value. However, company size has no effect on firm value.

Den sociologiske forskning i frivilligt arbejde har længe været optaget af at afklare hvilke faktorer, der afgør om et menneske engagerer sig i civilsamfundet eller ej. En række forskellige teorier tilskriver den afgørende betydning til henholdsvis de frivilliges normer, ressourcer eller netværk. I en dansk kontekst er dette spørgsmål hidtil kun blevet adresseret ved hjælp af tværsnitsdata. I denne artikel undersøger vi betydningen af disse forskellige faktorer for danske frivillige med udgangspunkt i paneldata fra 2004 og 2012. Formålet med denne artikel er at afprøve de tre dominerende teorier, om hvad der får folk til at blive frivillige, samt hvad der får dem til at holde op igen. Endvidere undersøges teoriernes respektive gyldighed inden for tre forskellige civilsamfundssektorer – den aktivitetsorienterede, den velfærdsorienterede og den politisk- og lokalsamfundsorienterede sektor – for at undersøge, hvorvidt det er de samme faktorer, der har betydning for det frivillige engagement på tværs af forskellige typer frivillig aktivitet. Analysen viser, at det især er netværk knyttet til forskellige livsfaser, der forklarer bevægelser ind og ud af frivillighed. Yderligere viser vi, at familietraditioner for frivilligt arbejde socialiserer stærkt til selv at blive frivillig, hvorimod socialiseringsforskelle mellem fødselskohorter kun synes at have betydning for frivilligheden inden for den politiske sektor. Endelig viser analysen, at uddannelsesmæssige ressourcer overraskende har meget begrænset betydning for mobilitet ind og ud af frivilligt arbejde. ENGELSK ABSTRACT: Morten Frederiksen and Rasmus Juul Møberg: Mobility in the Volunteer Sector. A Panel Data Analysis of Danish People’s Involvement in Volunteer Work between 2004 and 2012 Sociological research on volunteering has had a longstanding interest in identifying the factors affecting whether people volunteer or not. Three different theoretical positions ascribe the decisive impact to resources, norms, and/or networks of the volunteers. The Danish case has hitherto only been investigated using cross sectional data. In this article, we investigate the importance of these different factors in Denmark using panel data from 2004 and 2012. The purpose of the article is to test these three dominant theories about what makes people volunteer and what makes them stop again. Furthermore, the salience of each theory is analysed within three different sectors of civil society: the activity oriented, the welfare oriented and the politics and community oriented. The purpose is to investigate whether the same factors are important in the different sectors, as is usually assumed. The analysis indicates that social networks associated with different life stages, in particular, can account for mobility in and out of volunteer work. Additionally, we show that socialization through family traditions for volunteering is strong, whereas differences in socialization between birth cohorts only seems to affect volunteering in the politics and community sector. Finally, we find that education has surprisingly little influence on volunteer mobility. Keywords: volunteer work, panel data, volunteer sectors, norms, life stage.

Abstract Objectives The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a new viral disease of the coronavirus family that has a close relationship with SARS species. This study aims to identify factors affecting the recovery of COVID-19 patients in a population with a majority of Kurdish residents. Methods For this purpose, all clinical and demographic parameters were collected from patients with COVID-19 who were outpatients or hospitalized in Kurdistan province (located in western Iran) from March to June 2020. We used the binary logistic regression model to recognition affecting factors to recovery in the COVID-19. Results According to the results of this study, age, sex, coronary heart disease (CHD), cancer, and using antiviral drugs were associated with the chance of recovery. Conclusions Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that the chances of recovery of COVID-19 patients who are elderly or have underlying diseases such as CHD or cancer are low. On the other hand, viral drugs are effective in increasing the chances of recovery.
