In this study, we analyze the forecast accuracy and profitability of buy recommendations published in five major German financial magazines for private households based on fundamental analysis. The results show a high average forecast accuracy but with a very high standard deviation, which indicates poor forecast accuracy with regard to individual stocks. The recommendation profitability slightly exceeds the performance of the MSCI World index. Considering the involved risk, which is represented by a high standard deviation, the excess returns appear to be insufficient.

The purpose of this study is to analyze labor productivity inequality and labor dualism in Bengkulu Province. The method used is descriptive analysis, equipped with class typology and elasticity of employment. We are using employment data from BPS publications. The results show that by dividing business fields into 17 sectors in 2018 and 2019, labor productivity inequality is awfully unequal, which is indicated by a very high standard deviation rate. Meanwhile, labor dualism is led by informal workers by a percentage of over 60%. More workers with primary education are absorbed in the informal sector, whereas educated workers are mostly taken in the formal sector. The highest coefficient of labor absorption elasticity for legal workers occurred in 2016 (3.14) and for informal workers in 2015 (1.73).Keywords: labor dualism, labor productivity

SUMMARYSplitting, crushing and spalling which occur when boulders move against each other, generate fine material and so give rise to angular large and small sizes. The nature of the rounding process can be deduced from the analysis of moments of the roundness frequency distribution of the size range 4–128 mm. A low standard deviation indicates the dominance of one process—either abrasion or breakdown; a high standard deviation indicates the presence of both. The relationship between mean roundness, standard deviation of roundness, skewness of roundness and mean size allows for an analysis of the size reduction processes at work on the sediment; and for a comparison between the reactions of different rocks. A model, based on actual data, is given for the evolution of roundness of limestone clasts on a beach.

The authors performed a controlled study to compare commercially available amidolytic heparin assays based on anti-Xa or anti-I la systems. All participants (see below) were provided with the same batch of all heparin preparations and reagents including homogenous plasma preparation. In addition plasma was spiked with the various unfractionated (n=2) as well as lmwh- (n=5) and heparinoid preparation (n=l). The four university laboratories analyzed all heparin preparations that are registered or used in clinical trials in FRG (n=8). The two testkit producers analyzed registered heparin preparations and the heparin producer their brand only. The study was recently completed and the data analysed and collected. The first evaluation revealed that the amidolytic anti-I la assay is insensitive for lmwh and heparinoids. Determination of unfractionated heparins is not accurate below 0.5 units of the corresponding standard. The Xa-methods are more sensitive for lmwh and heparinoids, however these methods also reveal a high standard deviation. Estimation of concentrations below 0.5 units of all tested heparin preparations is questionable.The authors are indented for active cooperation to Prof. Dr. K. Andrassy (Med. Univ.

Fundamental and technical analysis is used by analysis to predict the trend ofstock price and trading volume. Studies conducted aimed to determine the effect of fundamental analysis to technical analysis. Combining two forms of analysis can produce a more accurate prediction of the stock price movement of listed cement companies in Indonesia Stock Exchange. Research experts indicate that the fundamental and technical analysis can be used independently with the ability to predict stock price movements. This study combines both analysis in a model that can provide a more robust predictive capability in the Company's share price movements of cement. Fundamental analysis is the economy wide scope, one of the predictions of financial performance. In this study the total asset turnover, return on assets and return on equityto determine which stocks are pretty good. While technical analysis is usedaccumulation distribution line that has a better ability to predict future stock prices because the data contained technical stock price and trading volume to determine when to buy and sell momentum. These results indicate that the total asset turnover, return on assets and return on equity significantly influence the accumulation distribution line. While the individual that the return on equity has no significant effect. The results of this study are expected to improve knowledge for the readers, especially investors in order to obtain optimal benefits.

Abstract Results of collaborative studies on three nitrate and two nitrite methods were examined by statistical procedures of Youden. The FeCl2 procedure was again found lo be subject to extreme bias. A modified procedure employing m-xylenol gave results which were somewhat improved in precision over previous tests. However, the procedure was still subject to systematic errors and rather large random errors resulting in only fair precision. A direct nitrate method based on color development with brucine was highly variable and unsatisfactory. The colorimetric procedure for nitrite, using Griess reagent, appeared to be relatively free of bias, but had only fair precision, and its usefulness is limited by the high standard deviation. An iodometric procedure, based on liberation of iodine from KI solution by the nitrite and titration with thiosulfate, proved to be quite precise and subject only to small bias, within acceptable limits of procedure. This method was far superior to the colorimetric method and should be adopted as official, first action for dry cure mix and pickle mix.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to study whether switching trading venues create value in the Hong Kong stock market.Design/methodology/approachBy using an event study, the paper investigates the abnormal returns (AR) earned by firms in the Growth Enterprise Market (GEM) relating to switching to the Main Board (MB). Two measures, turnover of the stock and Amihud’s (2002) illiquidity ratio, are used to examine the liquidity effects.FindingsThe switch is accompanied by a long-term increase in stock price for low liquidity firms only. High liquidity firms underperform with persistent negative excess returns after switching, while the transient negative excess returns in low liquidity firms reverse gradually. The results further show a significant increase in trading activity for low liquidity firms following the switch, while there is a significant decline in both trading activity and liquidity in firms with high liquidity. The overall results suggest that moving from GEM to the MB is beneficial to low liquidity firms but detrimental to high liquidity firms.Originality/valueThis study is the first to investigate whether moving from GEM to the MB creates value in the Hong Kong stock market.
