Business transfers are linked to both the beginning and the end of entrepreneurial processes. A person can become an entrepreneur by acquiring an existing business instead of starting one, and exit from entrepreneurship can occur through selling the business. Business transfers are gradually becoming more common among small businesses, largely due to entrepreneurs’ aging, and thus deserve attention from entrepreneurship scholars. In particular, the issue of why and how business transfer negotiations fail without achieving a transfer has received little research attention. The purpose of this paper is to explore this phenomenon from potential buyers’ and sellers’ perspectives. The findings are based on a sample of 156 responses. The results suggest that the problems occurring in unfinished business transfers are quite numerous and the gaps between the views of the two negotiating parties are wider than in cases where business transfer negotiations are concluded successfully, indicating that the initial negotiation positions can be crucial. This research proposes some key elements to consider when planning an exit by business transfer and highlight the importance of unfinished small business transfers as an essential element of a dynamic business transfer market; a substantial proportion of the potential buyers and sellers are satisfied with the outcome even though the transfer did not occur.

This article examines John Stuart Mill’s influential proposal of how to tax wealth transfers. According to Mill, every person should be free to bequeath but not to receive bequest. Mill proposed an upper limit on how much each person could receive from wealth transfers. We discuss three objections against this proposal. The nonseparability objection holds that it is not possible to separate the freedom to give from the freedom to receive. The objection from private property holds that private property includes an unlimited right to dispose of one’s assets and that this right is violated under Mill’s scheme. The objection from incentives holds that Mill’s scheme would have negative effects on people’s willingness to work and save. We argue that these objections can be met and that taxing bequeathed wealth according to Mill’s scheme is more just and more efficient compared to systems that rely less on wealth transfer taxation.

In this era of globalization, everyone is certainly no stranger to fund transfer activities. Transfer of funds is very helpful in community activities, but with the convenience of the facilities provided by the bank, of course there are risks, such as errors in transferring funds. The purpose of this research is to determine the legal knowledge of banking fund transfers and to discuss the legal consequences of errors in bank fund transfers. This research is a normative legal research supported by primary and secondary legal materials. The data collection technique in this research is to record and document. The data analysis technique is to examine books, literature and electronic media related to this research. The results of the reserach explain that UUTD no. 3 of 2011 in Article 1 point 1 regulates the definition of transfer or transfer of funds, namely an activity of transferring funds of a certain amount by the original sender to the recipient who has been mentioned in the order for the transfer of funds until it is received. And based on Article 1360 of the Civil Code, which states: "Whoever knowingly or not, receives something that does not have to be paid to him, must return it to the person who gave it". So that according to civil law, a person is obliged to return funds that are not his right from the results of an error in transferring funds that occur with a note that the bank must be able to clearly prove that the funds are not intended for the person concerned.

AbstractWe examine how migration is influenced by temperature and precipitation variability, and the extent to which the receipt of a cash transfer affects the use of migration as an adaptation strategy. Climate data is merged with georeferenced panel data (2010–2014) on individual migration collected from the Zambian Child Grant Program (CGP) sites. We use the person-year dataset to identify the direct and heterogeneous causal effects of the CGP on mobility. Having access to cash transfers doubles the rate of male, short-distance moves during cool periods, irrespective of wealth. Receipt of cash transfers (among wealthier households) during extreme heat causes an additional retention of males. Cash transfers positively spur long-distance migration under normal climate conditions in the long term. They also facilitate short-distance responses to climate, but not long-distance responses that might be demanded by future climate change.

Background and aim:If a person does not become ambulant after an amputation, a knee disarticulation (KD) shouldbe considered and the person may then benefit from a cosmetic KD prosthesis. The features of a cosmetic KD prosthesis are, however, seldom described. The aim of this clinical note is to describe the development of a cosmeticKD prosthesis.Technique:A non-ambulant person with bilateral KD formulated, together with her physiatrist, the criteria for a cosmetic KD prosthesis. On the basis of these, a lightweight, natural-looking, well-fitting, easy-to-put-on and take-off KD prosthesis, with no thigh lengthening during sitting, was made. This prosthesis was fixed on a wheelchair and does not impede transfer.Discussion:A newly constructed cosmetic prosthesis for non-ambulant persons with a KD is described in detail. We hope that this will encourage physiatrists and prosthetists to offer non-ambulant persons with a KD a cosmetic prosthesis.Clinical relevanceA cosmetic leg prosthesis with good cosmetic properties, good sitting comfort, and no restrictions in making transfers is described in detail for non-ambulant persons with a knee disarticulation.

Purpose. The aim of this study is to describe the robotic assisted transfer device (RATD) and an initial focus group evaluation by end users. The purpose of the device is to aid in the transfers of people with disabilities to and from their electric powered wheelchair (EPW) onto other surfaces. The device can be used for both stand-pivot transfers and fully dependent transfers, where the person being transferred is in a sling and weight is fully on the robot. The RATD is fixed to an EPW to allow for its use in community settings.Method. A functional prototype of the RATD was designed and fabricated. The prototype was presented to a group of 16 end users and feedback on the device was obtained via a survey and group discussion.Results.Thirteen out of sixteen (83%)participants agreed that it was important to develop this type of technology. They also indicated that user, caregiver, and robotic controls were important features to be included in the device.Conclusions. Participants in this study suggested that they would be accepting the use of robotic technology for transfers and a majority did not feel that they would be embarrassed to use this technology.

Full textAbstract:
The person re-identification (re-ID) problem has attracted growing interest in the computer vision community. Most public re-ID datasets are captured by multiple non-overlapping cameras, and the same person may appear dissimilar in different camera views due to variances of illuminations, viewpoints and postures. These differences, collectively referred to as camera style variance, make person re-ID still a challenging problem. Recently, researchers have attempted to solve this problem using generative models. The generative adversarial network (GAN) is widely used for the pose transfer or data augmentation to bridge the camera style gap. However, these methods, mostly based on image-level GAN, require huge computational power during the training of generative models. Furthermore, the training process of GAN is separated from the re-ID model, which makes it hard to achieve a global optimal for both models simultaneously. In this paper, the authors propose to alleviate camera style variance in the re-ID problem by adopting a feature-level Camera Style Transfer (CST) model, which can serve as an intra-class augmentation method and enhance the model robustness against camera style variance. Specifically, the proposed CST method transfers the camera style-related information of input features while preserving the corresponding identity information. Moreover, the training process can be embedded into the re-ID model in an end-to-end manner, which means the proposed approach can be deployed with much less time and memory cost. The proposed approach is verified on several different person re-ID baselines. Extensive experiments show the validity of the proposed CST model and its benefits for re-ID performance on the Market-1501 dataset.

Court-ordered redistricting in the mid-1960s eradicated severe disparities in the populations of U.S. state legislative districts. We examine the geographic distribution of money by states to counties. Cross-sectional analysis shows that counties with relatively more legislativeseats per person prior to redistricting received relatively more transfers from the state per person. Over time, counties that lost legislative seats subsequently received a smaller share of state funds per capita. We calculate that population equalization significantly altered the flow of state transfers to counties, diverting approximately $7 billion annually from formerly overrepresented to formerly underrepresented counties, an effect missed by past studies. For those concerned with the design of democratic institutions around the world today, the American experience provides clear evidence of the political consequences of unequal representation.

Full textAbstract:
The Alemannic dialects in linguistic islands in Northern Italy have been undergoing strong changes since the second half of the 20th century. One of these changes concerns the assignment of gender with persons. Generalized neuter abolishes the coupling of gender with male/female and transfers both female and male persons into neuter. This in turn has its effect on verbal inflection. The post-verbal subject clitics mutate in the 3rd person singular to verb endings void of male/female connotations. This change, as it is now spreading, is not in itself a recent phenomenon. In early written dialectal records it already occurs in single documents even at the beginning of the 19th century.

SummaryObjective: To provide a case report of barriers and promoters to implementing a health information exchange (HIE) tool that supports patient transfers between hospitals and skilled nursing facilities.Methods: A multi-disciplinary team conducted semi-structured telephone and in-person interviews in a purposive sample of HIE organizational informants and providers in New York City who implemented HIE to share patient transfer information. The researchers conducted grounded theory analysis to identify themes of barriers and promoters and took steps to improve the trustworthiness of the results including vetting from a knowledgeable study participant.Results: Between May and October 2011, researchers recruited 18 participants: informaticians, healthcare administrators, software engineers, and providers from a skilled nursing facility. Subjects perceived the HIE tool’s development a success in that it brought together stakeholders who had traditionally not partnered for informatics work, and that they could successfully share patient transfer information between a hospital and a skilled nursing facility. Perceived barriers included lack of hospital stakeholder buy-in and misalignment with clinical workflows that inhibited use of HIE-based patient transfer data. Participants described barriers and promoters in themes related to organizational, technical, and user-oriented issues.The investigation revealed that stakeholders could develop and implement health information technology that technically enables clinicians in both hospitals and skilled nursing facilities to exchange real-time information in support of patient transfers. User level barriers, particularly in the emergency department, should give pause to developers and implementers who plan to use HIE in support of patient transfers.Conclusions: Participants’ experiences demonstrate how stakeholders may succeed in developing and piloting an electronic transfer form that relies on HIE to aggregate, communicate, and display relevant patient transfer data across health care organizations. Their experiences also provide insights for others seeking to develop HIE applications to improve patient transfers between emergency departments and skilled nursing facilities.Citation: Richardson JE, Malhotra S, Kaushal R.

Purpose: To identify the optimal spatial and dimensional requirements of grab bars that support independent and assisted transfers by older adults and their care providers. Background: Although research has demonstrated that toilet grab bars based on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Accessibility Standards do not meet the needs of older adults, the specific dimensional requirements for alternative configurations are unknown. Methods: A two-phased study with older adults and care providers in residential facilities was conducted to determine the optimal requirements for grab bars. Seniors and caregivers in skilled nursing facilities performed transfers using a mock-up toilet. In Phase 1, participants evaluated three grab bar configurations to identify optimal characteristics for safety, ease of use, comfort, and helpfulness. These characteristics were then validated for using ability-matched samples in Phase 2. Results: The optimal configuration derived in Phase 1 included fold-down grab bars on both sides of the toilet (14" from centerline [CL] of toilet, 32" above the floor, and extended a minimum of 6" in front of the toilet) with one side open and a sidewall 24" from CL of toilet on the other. Phase 2 feedback was significantly positive for independent and one-person transfers and somewhat lower, albeit still positive, for two-person transfers. Conclusion: The study provides substantial evidence that bilateral grab bars are significantly more effective than those that comply with current ADA Accessibility Standards. Findings provide specific spatial and dimensional attributes for grab bar configurations that would be most effective in senior facilities.

AbstractJohn Schellenberg has advanced the hiddenness argument against God's existence, based on the idea that an all-loving God would seek personal relationships. This article develops a reply to Schellenberg's argument by examining the notion of moral impurity, as understood by Paul the Apostle. Paul conceptualized moral impurity as a causal state that transfers from person to person, like a contagious disease. He also believed that moral impurity precludes divine–human relationship. The goal of this article is to develop these ideas into a problem for one of Schellenberg's key premises.

Possession and control of an object enhance the freedom of its holder. Property protects this freedom; but it restricts the freedom of ail others. Drawing the boundaries of freedom with respect to external objects is a central and difficult challenge for libertarians. What justifies my ownership of, say, the cup I am drinking from? Several possible answers come to mind: answers based on need, on welfare, on desert or on equality. None of these is endorsed by the libertarian; none of these, arguably, can justify private property in the cup. From a proprietarian point of view the legitimacy of any holding derives from the moral power of its previous owner. An owner has the power of transfer, the power to make another person the owner. What justifies my ownership of the cup is the exercise of the power of the person who gave it to me; his ownership was justified by the exercise of the power of the person who sold it to him; the latter's ownership was justified by the exercise of the power of the person who bequeathed it to him; and so on and so forth. But series of transfers of this kind, long as they may be, must come to an end. There must have been a point where something not privately owned became the private property of an individual or group.Libertarians must assert a principle of just appropriation. Such a principle specifies the ways in which a person can come to own a natural resource which was previously not (privately) owned.

Pediatric patients experiencing an emergency department (ED) visit for a traumatic injury often transfer from the referring ED to a pediatric trauma center. This qualitative study sought to evaluate the experience of information exchange during pediatric trauma visits to referring EDs from the perspectives of parents and referring and accepting clinicians through semi-structured interviews. Twenty-five interviews were conducted (10 parents and 15 clinicians) and analyzed through qualitative thematic analysis. A 4-person team collaboratively identified codes, wrote memos, developed major themes, and discussed theoretical concepts. Three interdependent themes emerged: (1) Parents’ and clinicians’ distinct experiences result in a disconnect of information exchange needs; (2) systems factors inhibit effective information exchange and amplify the disconnect; and (3) situational context disrupts the flow of information contributing to the disconnect. Individual-, situational-, and systems-level factors contribute to disconnects in the information exchanged between parents and clinicians. Understanding how these factors’ influence information disconnect may offer avenues for improving patient–clinician communication in trauma transfers.

Full textAbstract:
In recent literature scholars have worked out a number of new categories of meaning development such as zoosemy, plantosemy and foodsemy. This paper focuses on the mechanism of foodsemy, a new category of metaphorical extension proposed by Kleparski (2008), and in particular on the cases of metaphorical extension that are targeted at human beings and their various qualities. Most frequently, the process discussed here involves the projection of attributive features and values, sometimes positive, yet most frequently negative ones, associated with members of the macrocategory foodstuffs onto the macrocategory human being. The purpose here is to outline a limited number of metaphorical transfers involved in the conceptual macrocategory foodstuffs targeted at such subcategories of the microcatergory female human being as attractive female human being, immoral female human being and female breasts. For some language users it may sound somewhat unnatural, and hence unacceptable, to name a female person mutton with the intended metaphorical sense ‘a prostitute’, tomato applied in the transferred sense ‘attractive, but not a very wise female’ or peach, which denotes an ‘attractive female, especially in American English’. However, cases of foodsemy are nothing else, but instances of metaphorical conceptualizations, which are considered to be pervasive, unconscious and automatic. They are also universal, though different lexical items in different languages may acquire different metaphorical senses.

Abstract Childhood circumstances are known to etch an indelible influence on individual outcomes across the life course such as education, income, and health. Yet relatively little is known about how early life exposures influence family outcomes. This study aims to determine how childhood exposures are associated with inter vivos downward intergenerational financial transfers among older adults aged 51-85 with at least one surviving adult child. Using cumulative (dis)advantage theory, I hypothesized that experiences in childhood shape intergenerational transfers patterns – with early-life advantage being able to provide more transfers than their disadvantaged counterparts. I used data from the US Health and Retirement Study waves 1998 to 2018 (n=32,095 individuals, 169,316 person-years) and estimated random effects models. The index of childhood socioeconomic status was constructed by adding the following dichotomized indicators: poor to fair family socioeconomic status, mother / father having less than HS education, father working for service sector, and moved due to financial difficulty. Downward transfers were defined as whether the respondent gave money, helped pay bills, or covered certain costs to children or grandchildren worth ≥US$ 500. The unadjusted model revealed that the probability of providing downward transfers among those with 1 and 2+ childhood socioeconomic status disadvantage was 5.4% and 3.8% less than those without disadvantage. The inverse association of early life disadvantage and downward transfers were preserved when basic demographic controls and household income and wealth were controlled for, although the magnitude slightly declined (4.0% and 3.1% lower probability for those with 1 and 2+ misfortunes, respectively).

Full textAbstract:
Cooperation among players requires a realization of economic benefits to all players and a meeting of efficiency requirements through economically driven allocations. Cooperation among political (and sometimes hostile) players may not meet these requirements. Political considerations, usually ignored in economic analyses, can hinder or even block possible arrangements. A framework is proposed that includes both economic and political considerations for evaluating transfers or trades of scarce resources. This method quantifies both the economic payoffs using n-person game theory and the political likelihood of any of the coalitions actually forming, using the PRINCE Political Accounting System. The economic-political approach is applied to a case of a potential water transfer in the western Middle East. Results suggest that incorporating political considerations in the analysis stabilizes the regional solution suggested by economic-related allocations.

Full textAbstract:
When moisture over an allowable range is included in material during the plastic manufacturing process, a defective product might be produced, hence management of the dehumidifying dryer process is needed. Therefore, to maintain the material’s optimal humidity, a dehumidify dryer measures data in real time and transfers the data to a server; based on the measurement results, it suggests a smart factory model for appropriate control. However, even if the data is accurately measured, if its integrity and confidentiality are not maintained during the transfer process, control data sent to a dehumidify dryer can cause unintended malfunctions. Therefore, this study suggests an overall encryption mechanism that can maintain the integrity and confidentiality of data at the same time during the transfer process. We confirmed through an experiment with this mechanism that when data is damaged or altered during a transfer process, a person can check this. We expect that the method suggested in this paper will help the productivity of the plastic manufacturing process to increase and defective product rate to decrease.

As teachers and students navigated the forced transition to online education, their physical and social interaction became possible only through technology. How did this mediated interaction affect learning outcomes, teacher presence, and their performance, in synchronous classroom spaces? What was lost in the translation of in-person instruction? What might this lost element tell us about the epistemology of embodiment, the transfer of knowledge in the classroom, and the roles of teachers and students within these knowledge frameworks? Through autoethnographical performative inquiry, this paper argues that embodiment—individual and collective—and multidimensional proximity construct sites of knowledge transfer.

Full textAbstract:
At the turn of the twenty-first century, the rhetoric of cyberspace and information technologies relies heavily on a hyperbole of unlimited power through disembodied mobility. References to boundless space, unfettered mobility, and speedy transfers abound. In this heady environment, new technologies promise ever-increasing powers of transformation and transport—applied to information, business, and self—and the benefits of surveillance and tracking. More and more in this context, the concept of a person or of human beings appears to depend on the attenuated possibilities of cyberspace. If the heavy, even immovable, facts of embodied existence can be ameliorated or discharged through the creation of new identities on the Internet, for example, or through new collective personas or communities, then what or who counts as a person becomes transformed.

AbstractAn essential part of any space in which physical prototyping and prototype-driven product development is being conducted is the education of its users in the necessary skills to fully utilise the material resources of the space. This paper describes how two different skills were transferred between five projects in our research laboratory, TrollLABS. Based on the observed skill-transfers in the production of PCBs and use of RF-communication in mechatronics projects certain tendencies emerged: How the use of forced vocal experience sharing; And in-person transferring of skills has impacted the acquired skills of the learner. The observations further show that through the guidance of a more experienced user the learner is able to make “skill-jumps”: Intermediate skill steps, as well as underlying detailed knowledge, are skipped and the learner is able to reach a high skill level in a shorter time than the original acquirer of the skill. Furthermore, skills are retained in the space through cross-generational collaboration and communication. This article aims to share these insights and provide a starting point for answering some of the challenges of modern maker spaces.

Asia Pacific Journal of Public Health 30, no. 4 (April 18, 2018): 342–50. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1010539518768332.
Full textAbstract:
We evaluate the broader public economic consequences of investments in smoking cessation that change lifetime productivity, which can influence future government tax revenue and social transfer costs and health care spending. The analysis applies a government perspective framework for assessing the intergenerational relationships between morbidity and mortality and lifetime tax revenue and social transfers received. Applying smoking prevalence in Thailand, a cohort model was developed for smoker and former smokers to estimate impact on lifetime direct taxes and tobacco taxes paid. Age-specific earnings for males and wage appropriate tax rates were applied to estimate net taxes for smokers and former smokers. Introducing smoking cessation leads to lifetime public economic benefits of THB13 998 to THB43 356 per person depending on the age of introducing smoking cessation. Factoring in the costs of smoking cessation therapy, an average return on investment of 1.35 was obtained indicating fiscal surplus generated for government from the combined effect of increased tax revenues and of averting smoking-attributable health care costs.

This article is devoted to the private law problems of regulating cryptocurrencies and some of the problems that cryptocurrencies can cause. Cryptocurrencies are very popular with offenders, since crimes committed with them have a high level of confidentiality. Cryptocurrencies allow you to transfer money without the intervention of a third party in the person of a banking organization, which simplifies transfers and guarantees their anonymity. The article also discusses the problem associated with the decentralization of blockchain technology, the nodes of which can be located all over the world and, accordingly, obey conflicting laws.Also, the article discusses blockchain technology, which is a special type of database and was first used in the Bitcoin system in 2008. Blockchain technology is an integral part of most of the current cryptocurrencies, as many of them are based on this technology.The relevance of this article is caused by the presence of some private law problems of regulating cryptocurrencies, which are discussed in this article.

Full textAbstract:
The transfer of Afghan detainees to Afghan authorities by Canadian forces raised concerns in public opinion, in Parliament, and was the object of court proceedings and other enquiries in Canada. This article aims to explore the rules of international law applicable to such transfers. The most relevant rule of international humanitarian law (IHL) applies to prisoners of war in international armed conflicts. However, the conflict in Afghanistan, it is argued, is not of an international character. The relevant provision could nevertheless apply based upon agreements between Canada and Afghanistan and upon unilateral declarations by Canada. In addition, international human rights law (IHRL) and the very extensive jurisprudence of its mechanisms of implementation on the obligations of a state transferring a person to the custody of another state where that person is likely to be tortured or treated inhumanely will be discussed, including the standard of care to be applied when there is an alleged risk of torture. While IHL contains the rules specifically designed for armed conflicts, IHRL may in this respect also clarify as lex specialis the interpretation of concepts of IHL. Finally, the conduct of Canadian leaders and members of the Canadian forces is governed by international criminal law (ICL). This article thus demonstrates how IHL, IHRL, and ICL are intimately interrelated in contemporary armed conflicts and how the jurisprudence of human rights bodies and of international criminal tribunals informs the understanding of IHL rules.

AbstractDuring the course of imprisonment, whether on remand or when serving a sentence, people sometimes need to be transferred to a psychiatric hospital. In the Republic of Ireland the only psychiatric hospital a person can be transferred to is the Central Mental Hospital (C.M.H.).We describe 99 female prison transfers to the C.M.H. between 1983 and 1988. The mean age of the 70 sentenced prisoners was 26.43 years and that of the 29 remand prisoners was 33 years. The primary diagnoses were Schizophrenia (11), Mania (7), Depression and Stress (23), Personality Disorder (36), Mental Handicap (2) and Drug Addiction (16). The longest average stay at the hospital was for personality disorders (5 weeks). The longest sentences were for drugs offences. There were no cases of homicide or sex offences. We recommend that many of these cases could be handled in their catchment area hospital rather than in a high security Special Hospital.

AbstractDuring the course of imprisonment, whether on remand or when serving a sentence, people sometimes need to be transferred to a psychiatric hospital. In Ireland the only psychiatric hospital a person can be transferred to is the Central Mental Hospital (CMH).We describe 627 prison transfers to the CMH between 1983 and 1988. The number each year varied from 99 in 1983 to 127 in 1988. The percentage on remand varied from 49% in 1984 to 31% in 1987 and 1986. The average age of sentenced prisoners was 28 years and 35 years in the case of those on remand. The diagnostic categories were as follows: Schizophrenia (31%), Reactive Depression (23%), Personality Disorder (25%), Mania (5%), Drug and Alcohol (8%) and Mental Handicap (4%). The longest average stay in the hospital was seven weeks for Mania and the shortest was three weeks for Reactive Depression. The largest proportion on remand was for Mania (79%) followed by Schizophrenia (58%). We make recommendations about legislation and the role of the catchment area psychiatric hospital.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the paper is to recognize the level of employment and gross value added (GVA) in agriculture in relation to the other sectors of the European Union economy. The following research tasks were formulated: analysis of employment levels and GVA in the sectors of economy in 2000 and 2018 as well as the relationship between employment and GVA, assessment of GVA per 1 person employed in the investigated sectors and its changes in the analysed years, and assessment of the scale of surplus employment in agriculture assuming that GVA per 1 person employed in this sector would be equal to the average level reached in the industry and the services sectors. Comparative analysis and the deduction method were used in the study. Correlation coefficients between the level of employment in individual sectors and GVA per 1 person employed in the time series covering the years 2000–2008 were also calculated. A new measure of the “goal” of employment reduction in agriculture has been proposed, related to the measurement of the distance between agriculture and other sectors in terms of GVA generated per 1 employed—the Excess Employment Rate In The Agricultural Sector (EERAS). The research was based on EUROSTAT data from the years of 2000 and 2018. The process of changes in the sectoral structure of employment will probably be determined by the growth rate of demand for services, structural adjustment referring to matching the characteristics of the agricultural population to the demand for labour force in the services sector and the pace of structural transformations in rural areas. Rationalisation of employment levels in agriculture promotes improvement of its economic and social sustainability. Instruments based on financial transfers from nonagricultural sectors to agriculture should play a secondary role, since they are a burden to more efficient sectors, and in the long term, they may hinder reduction of employment in agriculture. However, due to the inevitable differences in productivity observed between agriculture and the nonagricultural sectors, at a technologically, economically, ecologically and socially justified level of employment in agriculture, transfers of the surplus generated in the secondary and tertiary sectors need at least to reduce, if not eliminate, economic consequences of these differences.

Purpose This paper aims to whether current public expenditure on adult social care services might be associated with the number of delayed days of care attributable to the social care system in England. Design/methodology/approach Panel econometric models on data from local authorities with adult social care responsibilities in England between 2013–2014 and 2018–2019. Findings After controlling for other organisational sources of inefficiency, the level of demand in the area and the income poverty amongst the resident older population, this paper finds that a 4.5% reduction in current spending per head on adult social care per older person in one year is associated with an increase by 0.01 delayed days per head the following year. Social implications Given the costs of adverse outcomes of delayed transfers of care reported in the literature, this paper suggests that budgetary constraints to adult social care services would represent a false economy of public funds. Originality/value This is the first paper that models the association between public spending on adult social care and delayed transfers of care due to issues originating in the social care system in England.

Full textAbstract:
This article analyses the facts and judgment in CIR v Niko, involving the transfer of business assets from a sole trader to a company, the shares of which were substantially owned by the same sole trader. This case changed the inherently flawed, but prevailing practice at that stage of regarding a lump-sum payment from a lock-stock-and-barrel sale of a business as a receipt of a capital nature, to a receipt that needed to be allocated to the various assets included in the sale, and therefore potentially the receipt would be partly of a capital and partly of a revenue nature. Although the conclusion relating to lock-stock-and-barrel sales in general was sound, the submission made in this article is that, in the particular circumstances of the case, the economic reality of the transaction was not considered – virtually no economic gain was realised by J. Niko, the seller and sole owner of the business to a company of which he was also the substantial shareholder. Two subsequent court decisions, which similarly ignored the economic reality of the transactions in the context of a group of companies, followed this judgment. In this article, the problematic nature of the decisions that ignored the economic reality of the transactions is demonstrated with reference to accepted canons of a good taxation system. The article also explains the partial legislative relief that has subsequently been granted for transfers of assets from a person to a company and for transfers within a group of companies, but concludes that there is a need for full recognition of a group of companies as an economic entity for tax purposes.

Full textAbstract:
Careful planning is necessary when buying or selling an interest in an offshore petroleum area, farming into a project or setting up operating arrangements for a project within the petroleum resource rent tax (PRRT) net, to ensure maximum use of deductions for exploration expenditure and other costs of the project.The rules dealing with transfers of interests in petroleum projects and with the transfer of undeducted exploration expenditure from an unprofitable project to a profitable one, encourage participants to ensure that they hold an interest in the relevant area before they commence exploration activity.There are special rules applying in the PRRT context to the transfer of interests in a project from one person to another. It is important to understand how these rules apply as they can impact both upon who is liable to pay PRRT on the project and the ability to use and transfer exploration expenditure.Certain head-office costs are excluded from deductibility when calculating the taxable profit of a project. The manner in which a project is structured may impact on the practical implications of this exclusion.This paper provides an overview of the PRRT regime, the implications of the transfer of an interest in a project and the requirements which must be satisfied in order to transfer exploration expenditure between projects. The paper then contains a discussion of a number of issues in relation to deductibility and use of exploration expenditure, the transfer of interests in permits and the use of contractors to undertake activities on behalf of joint venture participants maximising the scope of available deductions.

Aims Assess trends and factors associated with interhospital transfers (IHT) and 30-day acute coronary syndrome (ACS) rehospitalizations in a national administrative database of patients admitted with an ACS between 2000–2015. Methods and results Cohort study of patients hospitalized with ACS from 2000 to 2015, using a validated linkage algorithm to identify and link patient-level sequential hospitalizations occurring within 30 days from first admission (considering all hospitalizations within the 30-day timeframe as belonging to the same ACS episode of care-ACS-EC). From 212,481 ACS-EC, 42,670 (20.1%) had more than one hospitalization. ACS-EC hospitalization rates decreased throughout the study period (2000: 207.7/100.000 person-years to 2015: 185,8/100,000 person-years, p for trend <0.05). Proportion of IHT increased from 10.5% in 2000 to 20.1% in 2015 compared to a reduction in both planned and unplanned 30-day ACS rehospitalization from 9.0% in 2000 to 2.7% in 2015. After adjusting for patient and first admission hospital’s characteristics, compared to 2000–2003, in 2012–2015 the odds of IHT increased by 3.81 (95%CI: 3.65–3.98); the odds of unplanned and planned 30-day ACS rehospitalization decreased by 0.36 (95%CI: 0.33; 0.39) and 0.47 (95%CI: 0.43; 0.53), respectively. Female sex, older age and the presence and severity of comorbidities were associated with lower likelihood of being transferred or having a planned 30-day ACS rehospitalization. Unplanned 30-day ACS rehospitalization was more likely in patients with higher comorbidity burden. Conclusion IHT and 30-day ACS rehospitalization reflect coronary referral network efficiency and access to specialized treatment. Identifying factors associated with higher likelihood of IHT and 30-day ACS rehospitalization may allow heightened surveillance and interventions to reduce rehospitalizations and inequities in access to specialized treatment.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTThis paper examines immigrant poverty at an older age in Sweden with an emphasis on late-in-life immigrants. We analyse tax data for the entire Swedish-born and non-Swedish-born population. The poverty status of a household is assessed using two criteria. First, the disposable income of the household in which the person lived in 2007 must be below 60 per cent of the median equivalent income in Sweden as a whole. Second, to be classified as ‘twice poor’ a household's net assets must be below SEK 10,000. The results indicate that three out of four Swedish-born older persons were not classified as poor by either of the criteria, and only 1 per cent by both criteria. In contrast, among older persons born in low-income countries almost three out of four were classified as poor according to one of the criteria and not fewer than one in three according to both. Results of estimating logistic models indicate that the risk of being considered poor according to both criteria is strongly positively related to one's age at immigration. Our results indicate that it is crucial that migrants, particularly those who arrive after age 40, be better integrated into the Swedish labour market. To alleviate poverty among those migrants who are already of older age, increased transfers are probably the only possible alternative.

Abstract This article summarizes the dissertation “Face2Face: Realtime Facial Reenactment” by Justus Thies (Eurographics Graphics Dissertation Online, 2017). It shows advances in the field of 3D reconstruction of human faces using commodity hardware. Besides the reconstruction of the facial geometry and texture, real-time face tracking is demonstrated. The developed algorithms are based on the principle of analysis-by-synthesis. To apply this principle, a mathematical model that represents a face virtually is defined. Utilizing this model to synthesize facial imagery, the model parameters are adjusted, such that the synthesized image fits the input image as good as possible. Thus, in reverse, this process transfers the input image to a virtual representation of the face. The achieved quality allows many new applications that require a good reconstruction of the face. One of these applications is the so-called “Facial Reenactment”. Our developed methods show that such an application does not need any special hardware. The generated results are nearly photo-realistic videos that show the transfer of the expressions of one person to another person. These techniques can for example be used to bring movie dubbing to a new level. Instead of adapting the audio to the video, which might also include changes of the text, the video can be post-processed to match the mouth movements of the dubber. Since the approaches that are shown in the dissertation run in real-time, one can also think of a live dubber in a video teleconferencing system that simultaneously translates the speech of a person to another language. The published videos of the projects in this dissertation led to a broad discussion in the media. On the one hand this is due to the fact that our methods are designed such that they run in real-time and on the other hand that we reduced the hardware requirements to a minimum while improving the resulting quality. In fact, after some preprocessing, we are able to edit ordinary videos from the Internet in real-time. Amongst others, we impose a different mimic to faces of prominent persons like former presidents of the United States of America. This led inevitably to a discussion about trustworthiness of video material, especially from unknown source. Most people did not expect that such manipulations are possible, neglecting existing methods that are already able to edit videos (e. g. special effects in movie productions). Thus, besides the advances in real-time face tracking, our projects raised the awareness of video manipulation.

Abstract Background Telemedicine (TM) has allowed physicians to expand beyond traditional in-person practice to provide care at remote locations. Initial performance of TM programs in ID has been reported, including favorable outcomes, but limited data exists on how inpatient Tele-ID compares to in-person.1,2 To address this gap, we analyzed data from hospitals that transitioned from in-person ID care to Tele-ID. References Methods Travel time between the 3 rural Pennsylvania hospitals (total 432 inpatient beds) by car is 1 hour 40 minutes. All in-person consults were provided by an independent ID physician who traveled daily between sites. Starting July 2018, all consults were provided by Tele-ID consisting of one full-time equivalent physician. This included live audio-video visits and e-consults. Data were extracted from electronic health record; between 1/1/2018-6/30/2018 for in-person and 7/1/2018-12/30/2018 for Tele-ID. Key outcomes assessed were number of initial encounters, length of stay (LOS) after ID consult, proportions of patients discharged home, transferred to tertiary centers, and ID related readmission at 30 days. Results Study population consisted of 642 encounters with majority being Caucasian, female and average age 67 years (Table 1). Tele-ID had higher comorbidity scores vs in-person ID (Table 1). Total encounters were significantly greater for Tele-ID than in-person ID (Table 2; p=0.018). LOS after ID consult, transfers to tertiary centers, readmissions at 30 days, and discharges home were similar between the two groups (Table 2). Most common diagnosis was “bacteremia;” notably Tele-ID made a broader range of diagnosis (Figure 1). Limitations include a small sample size and possibility of a temporal bias, although the patient characteristics were similar except for higher co-morbidity for the Tele-ID service. Conclusion This comparative study shows that patient outcomes are similar between in-person and Tele-ID, despite higher volume and complexity encountered by Tele-ID. The greater number of consults and broader range of diagnosis made by Tele-ID suggests greater productivity, possibly related to travel time elimination. Tele-ID appears to be a good alternative solution for rural locations that lack in-person access to ID care. Disclosures J.

Full textAbstract:
It is the focus of social security system reform at this stage in China to promote the transition of basic endowment insurance for urban employees from provincial overall planning level to national overall planning level, which is of great significance to the realization of fair and efficient of economic development. Based on the micro data of China Household Finance Survey 2017 (CHFS2017), this paper first establishes a personal wage prediction model to estimate the distribution of personal lifetime wage income, then designs two pension collection and payment plans of “direct national overall planning” and “indirect national overall planning”, and establishes an actuarial model of pension to calculate the present value of personal lifetime contribution, lifetime claim and lifetime real wage income after pension adjustment under different overall planning levels. Finally, the income gap index and net benefit rate index are used to measure the change of the whole income gap and the transfer of pension benefits. The results show that on the whole, the basic endowment insurance for urban employees does have a significant income redistribution effect, and its income adjustment effect is positively related to the overall planning level and intensity of the system. Under the current provincial overall planning level, the income redistribution effects of the system are as follows: the high-income group transfers to the low-income group, the young generation to the elderly generation, the female insured person to the male insured person, and the non-state-owned economic unit to the state-owned economic unit. With the improvement of the overall planning level and strengthening of intensity, there are differences in the changes of benefits among different groups.

Introduction:Electronic Dance Music events (EDMs) are complex mass gatherings and given published rates of illnesses, injuries, and hospitalizations, these events can place an additional burden on local health care services. Accordingly, during the planning process for EDMs many stakeholders are involved; however, local hospitals, a key part of the medical safety plan, are often excluded. In this case report, it is posited that the involvement of local hospital(s) and the resulting integration of on-site and acute-care service provision during an event, ultimately reduces the burden placed on local hospitals.Methods:Case report; synthesis of published literature.Results:A 25,000 person per day, two-day mass gathering EDM event trialed a model of collaborative planning with a local community hospital. Planning included the identification of a hospital liaison, pre-event teleconferences between event staff, contracted and public medical response teams, emergency management teams, harm reduction practitioners, public health, and hospital personnel. Throughout the collaborative planning process, vital information was shared in order to optimize patient continuity of care and streamline the transition of care from site medical response to an acute care setting. Outcomes included the prevention of unnecessary transfers to the hospital; however, those patients who required transfer had their initial treatment started prior to leaving the venue. Further, collaborative planning also contributed to improved bidirectional data sharing to better understand the impact on the local hospital of the event, including transfers from the onsite medical team as well as transports from the community and self-presentations for care.Discussion:The collaboration of onsite medical and hospital teams improved the delivery of essential medical care to the patrons of the event and added a layer to the safety planning process essential to mass gathering events.

In the ever-so-growing technological world, the Internet of things is one of the most prevalent technologies that is being utilized in offices, hospitals, and even at homes. However, IoT, when integrated with other technologies, becomes more powerful and user interactive. Our system utilizes microcontroller (NodeMCU) as a Wifi based gateway which would connect different sensors with cloud-based servers and unlike conventional automation, face recognition would be introduced in IoT frameworks for room personalization, along with communication among the appliances, which will be beyond the interaction with the internet. The focus is to minimize human intervention and personalize it as accurately as possible. People accessing a room will have different settings for an archetype. For each person, the settings of the room will be altered using facial recognition. The machine learning would consist of two classes, i.e., known and unknown. For an unknown person approaching a room, a notification will be sent to the administrator. The collective data received from sensors (temperature, pressure, gas, humidity, current, and potentiometer) will be monitored and controlled using relays connected with Arduino which transfers data to the cloud through NodeMCU.

Purpose of the study: Analyze Innovation the contextual value clarification technique model (CVCT) implementation in learning Citizenship.
Methodology: The method used in this research is research and development. Development research is research-oriented to develop and validate products used in education.
Main Findings: Contextual value clarification technique Model (CVCT) implementation in Citizenship learning may work well according to the lesson plan and CVCT learning model steps. The contextual value clarification technique Model (CVCT) can increase the internalization of learners’ values of Pancasila.
Applications of this study: In learning Citizenship Education needs to be done a paradigm shift, from learning that emphasizes transfers of knowledge to transfers of values. The motivational-based CVCT learning model can improve the quality of processes and the quality of results in Citizenship Education learning.
Novelty/Originality of this study: The implementation of teacher-centred learning needs to be changed into student-centred learning. This is intended so that students are active in the learning process so that the teacher's role does not dominate during the learning process, but rather as a moderator, facilitator, and resource person. If this learning paradigm can be understood and carried out by teachers, the learning process will be of quality.

Origin-Destination (O-D) pairs were computed for the entire city, and the trip distributions help understand human mobility. It was found that zone-to-zone flow has the highest flow in commercial and industrial areas. Moreover, the logical assumptions were specified to extract the transit behaviors of users. The results indicate the degree of mode-to-mode transfer behaviors of users. Among the four categories of transit usage, only rail users do not transfer to other modes, having the lowest proportion, with other mode-to-other mode transfers having the highest proportion. The results were validated with the Person Trip Survey for Comprehensive Urban Transport Plan of the Greater Yangon. This study contributes significantly to the expansion of current and potential future transit systems, which can provide a new and improved transport system for Yangon City to meet its demands. This information is helpful in conducting disaster management and emergency preparedness in terms of trip distributions of human mobility patterns changing over space and time and the transit behaviors of the transferring mode in daily trips.

Full textAbstract:
The harmonious, almost idyllic ending of C.F. Meyer’s last completed novella Angela Borgia must seem surprising in the context of his prose work as a whole. It is believed to reflect the intensified desire of the ageing and sickly poet to find a small livable ‘paradise’ in this world, based on Christian values. Man’s possible redemption and moral development are shown in the person of Giulio in strong parallel with Dante’s way to heavenly Paradise in the Divine Comedy. The fundamental difference between the two works lies, however, in the fact that the realist Meyer at the end of the 19th Century transfers Dante’s poetic vision of the hereafter not only to this world, but to a large extent to the physical sphere within man himself.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes the two terms, which have become extremely popular in cultural linguistics, the transfer and the code, as well as the possibility of their use; the fact of transfer origin is the most important trend in the formation of terminological systems. Сultural transfer is the process of transferring knowledge between different cultures, professional communities and discourses. The methodology of transfers implies the identification of mechanisms for the “cultural transfer of meanings.” The problem of the convertibility of knowledge between different cultural practices and areas of humanitarian knowledge (philosophy, semiotics, linguistics, philology, ethnography, etc.) arises in connection with the synthesis of knowledge, their penetration from one area to another. In this regard, the general humanitarian theory of the “cultural transfer”, which was developed in the 80s by French historians and literary scholars M. Espan and M. Werner, is becoming a promising approach to the analysis of interscientific interactions in a globalized scientific and cultural space. Now the term is widely used in such areas of scientific knowledge as translation theory, psychology, history, linguistics, banking, tourism, economics, educational environment, politics, management, etc. Transfserization of terms is one of the most productive ways of creating a terminology system for linguoculturology. The formation of a metalanguage of 11 such an integrative discipline as linguoculturology has its own specifics, which can be described as an interdisciplinary transfer in the course of which the various terms that lead to their development in a new scientific environment are conjugated and correlated. As a result, an important scientific idea about the holistic reflection, born of the integrated knowledge about the interaction of a person, his consciousness, culture and language, ripens.

AbstractBusiness transfer as a research topic awakened the interest of researchers in the past few decades. Business transfer is defined as a change of ownership of any firm to another person or legal entity assuring the continuous existence and commercial activity of the enterprise, and it encompasses different kinds of transfers both to family and non-family members. Ageing and consequently retirement are often mentioned as the reasons for entrepreneurs’ exits from the companies and intention to initiate the business transfer process. A successful business transfer process is one of the key prerequisites for long-term sustainability of small and medium-sized enterprises. There is a significant number of ageing business owners in Croatia who will exit their companies in the coming years. Considering the number of these entrepreneurs and the influence their exits can have on company stakeholders and national economy in general, it is of great importance to better understand the factors that can influence the choice of their exit strategies. The aim of the paper is to provide an understanding of the dilemmas that the ageing entrepreneurs face when considering different exit modes. The data for the study was collected through in-depth, semi-structured interviews conducted with six ageing business owners. The analysis of the interviews enabled the identification of the challenges that ageing entrepreneurs face in the business transfer process: emotional attachment to the firm, strong preference for family succession and concerns about financial security after retirement. Some of these challenges are a result of the undeveloped business transfer ecosystem, strong tradition and cultural values that imply family succession as the only acceptable exit strategy for retiring company owners in Croatia.

Full textAbstract:
Methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) requires patients to intake their daily dose in person at their clinic. Therefore, transfer services are vital for patients who need temporary leave from their primary MMT clinic. However, studies have shown that transfer patients might delay return after temporary leave, leading to missed doses and putting them at risk of increased harm. In this study, we aimed to explore the transfer rates and factors associated with MMT patients who delayed return during a transfer period. In this retrospective analysis, we used audit records from the web-based management system from six MMT clinics in Guangdong, China. Multilevel logistic regression and multilevel Poisson regression analyses were used to examine the factors associated with patients who delayed return to their primary MMT clinic. A total of 459 people used the transfer system 2940 times between January 2006 and December 2016. Of those, patients delayed return to their primary MMT clinic 1199 times (40.78%). Patients who transferred regularly had poor compliance rates with MMT treatment. Those who once dropped out from and then re-enrolled in MMT were more likely to delay return. Most patients (82.71%) who used the transfer service for “work” were more likely to prolong their delay length. The findings highlight that a more flexible transfer system would minimize inconvenience to the patients.
