Criteria for Classification of Risks of Project Financing in Оrder to Manage the Risks of Specialized Lending Portfolio

In the article we analyzed international and Russian methodological approaches for classification of risk in project finance and identified crucial criteria which provide further framework for development of principles and management mechanism of specialized credit portfolio at commercial bank. Considering relevant literature and taking into account the main purpose of the study, the practical use of aggregation of project finance risk taxonomy was concluded and three groups of risk were proposed: product risk, counterparty risk and portfolio risk. For each group, it was highlighted list of significant risks all of which shall be subsequently integrated into overall assessment of risks’ concentration of specialized credit portfolio together with some management tools.

The Individual

The fabric of the highly deformed and recrystallized gneisses formed under granulite facies conditions of metamorphism are described from Mont Tremblant Park, Quebec, Canada. These gneisses are termed granulites and are classified into quartzofeldspathic and hypersthene varieties.The term 'cataclastic-gneissose' fabrics is used to imply varying degrees of deformation and recrystallization without micro-brecciation or cataclasis 'sensu stricto' and a classification of these various fabrics is presented. The modifications in these granulites are progressive and are assumed to have the following sequence:[Formula: see text]During the evolution from mortar to granoblastic types, the minerals become flattened and increasingly elongated, while the individual recrystallized grains increase in size. The same deformation produced flaser and granoblastic gneisses in the quartzofeldspathic granulites and mortar and augen gneisses in the hypersthene granulites.The mineral relicts (porphyroclasts) in the mortar and augen gneisses are highly deformed and display evidence of strain, such as undulatory extinction, deformation bands, polygonization, mechanical twins, and bent cleavages. These mortar and augen gneisses display a poor preferred orientation of quartz c axis.In the recrystallized rocks the grains form a clear, fresh, unstrained polygonal mosaic and in the case of quartz, long leaf-like uniform plates are produced. In the flaser and especially the granoblastic gneisses no signs of strain remain and the recrystallized fabric consists of quartz plates alternating on a micro-scale with bands of polygonal fresh feldspar and granular streaks of dark minerals. A petrofabric diagram from a granoblastic gneiss shows a marked preferred orientation of quartz c axis.A review of the relevant literature on the natural and experimental investigations strongly supports the hypothesis that the fabrics of the granulites are produced as a result of the progressive deformation and recrystallization of the mineral constituents.

Broad Overview

Artifacts of the software development process, such as source code or emails between developers, are a frequent object of study in empirical software engineering literature. One of the hallmarks of free, libre, and open source software (FLOSS) projects is that the artifacts of the development process are publicly-accessible and therefore easily collected and studied. Thus, there is a long history in the FLOSS research community of using these artifacts to gain understanding about the phenomenon of open source software, which could then be compared to studies of software engineering more generally. This paper looks specifically at how the FLOSS research community has used email artifacts from free and open source projects. It provides a classification of the relevant literature using a publicly-available online repository of papers about FLOSS development using email. The outcome of this paper is to provide a broad overview for the software engineering and FLOSS research communities of how other researchers have used FLOSS email message artifacts in their work.

BACKGROUND: There is a general acknowledgement of projects as sites of knowledge creation, but in multi-project contexts, we witness at times a lack of robust procedures that would ensure harvesting the lessons learned. OBJECTIVE: This paper aims at providing an operational conceptual framework for micro-knowledge management, depicting knowledge as created by individuals performing project activities. METHODS: Documentation on relevant literature and observation of current managerial practices and tools, in order to use the underpinnings of experiential education for managing learning-by-doing knowledge creation. RESULTS: Developing the framework led to identifying the decision-making processes in micro-knowledge management and their correlation with human resources management Secondly - we have shown the need for a coherent integration of knowledge deliverables into the project management tools and practices, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. CONCLUSIONS: Micro-knowledge management points to a recurrent assessment of the opportunity for micro-knowledge codification and/or staff retention based on tacit professional or biographical knowledge of the project team members. The framework offers a balance between the detachment of knowledge from the owners, in codification, and affirming the irreducible tacit and personal dimensions of learning-by-doing.

General Climate

Purpose – The paper aims to investigate the consequences of climate change for the future of armed forces and their presentation in national security documents. Design/methodology/approach – A classification of potential future military roles and functions is derived from relevant literature, resulting in six “military futures”. Frames are developed for these whose occurrence is counted in 53 authoritative documents on security policy and defense planning from 38 countries. Results are presented in descriptive statistics. Findings – The paper demonstrates that climate change has become an important issue for military planning. However, the directions in which it takes thinking about the future of armed forces differ widely. Among the six “military futures” identified, those linked to the function of disaster relief are most frequently found. However, the expansion of traditional military roles is also promoted. Rarer are suggestions for armed forces to became “greener” or “leaner”. In general, climate change provides an additional justification for continuing established paths for military planning. Originality/value – The paper makes two contributions to the existing literature. First, it provides a classification of potential future consequences of climate change for armed forces. Second, it empirically establishes, for a set of authoritative documents, the relative importance of differing expectation of the effects of climate change on the structure and functions of militaries.

The mycotic aneurysms of the infrarenal aorta (MAIA) are extremely rare and the associated morbidity and mortality is very high. The classification of infected aneurysms considers four types: a) true mycotic aneurysms, b) secondary mycotic aneurysms due to bacterial arteritis, c) infected preexisting abdominal aortic aneurysms and d) post-traumatic infected false aneurysms. The prognosis of true MAIA’s is better than the other forms of infected aneurysms. The standard treatment includes the resection of the aneurysm and infectious surrounding tissues and the restoration of the flow using ex situ (axillobifemoral) bypass or in situ replacement with autologous vein or a rifampicine-bonded graft. We present a case of mycotic aneurysm of the infrarenal aorta and a brief discussion of the alternative treatments from the relevant literature.

Diagnostic Criterion

Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) or body cavity lymphoma is a rare type of extra nodal lymphoma of B-cell origin that presents as lymphomatous effusion(s) without any nodal enlargement or tumor masses. It belongs to the group of AIDS related non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas. First described in 1996 in HIV infected individuals who were coinfected with Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) or HHV-8 virus, it was included as a separate entity in WHO classification of tumors of hematopoietic and lymphoid tissue in the year 2001. The definition included association with HHV-8 virus as a mandatory diagnostic criterion. However, cases were later reported where PEL-like disease process was diagnosed in HHV-8 negative patients. This was eventually recognized as a rare but distinct entity termed as “HHV-8-unrelated PEL-like lymphoma”. Herein, we are reporting a case of an elderly patient who presented with a large pleuropericardial effusion and was eventually diagnosed with this entity. Till date, only around 50 cases of HHV-8-unrelated PEL-like lymphoma have been reported and our case being EBV, HIV, and Hepatitis C negative makes it very unique and rare occurrence. We are also presenting a review of relevant literature focused mainly on comparing outcomes in patients treated with and without chemotherapy.
