A study on the characterization of monsoon rainfall for sorghum (Sorghum Vulgare Pers) and its response to typical rainfall patterns

Twenty eight years (1962-89) rainfall of Nagpur was analysed and the rainfall suitability at various probability levels for sorghum crop was studied. The total rainfall during kharif season (25-39th MW) was 861.50 mm. Normal rainfall/week exceeded 50 mm during 12 weeks (25-36th MW) which declined successively for three week (37-39th MW). The coefficient of variation (CY) ranged between 74.3% (25th MW), to 144.7% (39th MW). The rainfall at 50% probability level was well distrturbed during 12 week (25-36th MW)-ranging between 44.5 to 36.3 mm being adequate and sufficient (>20 mm/week) for sorghum crop considering its weekly demand (21-35 mm/week). Typical rainfall patterns representing the situation were defined on the basis of their repetitiveness. Out of four typical rainfall patterns studied the one with lowest rainfall (458.4 mm /season and 30.56 mm/week) fetched the highest yield (865.0 kg/ha) which ensured adequate rains during the various growth stages except maturity. Excessive rainfall (>l00 mm/week) and deficient rainfall <20 mm/week) during every stage were inadequate. Rainfall atleast 30.56 mm/week was most adequate.

Evaluation of systematic risk, corporate governance, and cash holdings: evidence from Indonesia

Profits that are calculated to finance unexpected cash need expedite management. This paper investigates the effect of corporate governance on cash holdings with systematic risk as a moderating variable. The population consists of companies from the property and real estate sectors listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2012–2020. Through the purposive sampling technique, the sample obtained 41 companies as the study object. Data analysis is focused on panel data and its interpretation through the Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). Hypothesis testing uses statistical terms at the 5% probability level. Important findings underline that corporate governance has a positive significant effect on cash holdings, while systematic risk has a negative insignificant effect. On the other hand, the moderation between corporate governance and cash holdings through systematic risk is positive significant. Systematic risk reflects the reliability of a stock; when the risk is higher, it tends to increase in cash flow situations, and investors prefer high-risk investments with the expectation of profit from returns. It is hoped that future contributions will serve as reference material for academics, government, and companies engaged in the financial service sector.

Comparative study of the behavior of the effective boundary of minimal risk portfolio in the conditions of hybrid uncertainty, depending on the restrictions on the profitability of the portfolio

В работе проведены исследования эффективной границы портфеля минимального риска в условиях гибридной неопределенности. Для случая двумерного портфеля при ограничении на ожидаемую доходность портфеля и ограничении по возможности/необходимости и вероятности на доходность портфеля в зависимости от уровня вероятности построены квазиэффективные границы портфеля. Результаты численных экспериментов согласуются с ранее полученными авторами теоретическими результатами. The paper studies the effective boundary of the minimum risk portfolio in the conditions of hybrid uncertainty. For the case of a two-dimensional portfolio, with a restriction on the expected return of the portfolio and a restriction on possibility/necessity and probability on the return of the portfolio, quasi-effective portfolio boundaries are constructed depending on the probability level. The results of numerical experiments are consistent with the theoretical results previously obtained by the authors.
