Equity lines financing allows companies to increase their capital by issuing shares in successive tranches, as and when required over an agreed period of time, in order to boost equity and cash flow. The purpose of this article is to examine the factors which inform the use of this method, considering the specific parameters of businesses using equity lines, as well as variables linked to the institutional and economic context. Employing a model based on the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) technique, we studied 407 firms in 15 countries making using of equity lines Financing in the period 2004-2018. The results confirm that the existence of opportunities for growth, the existence of a well-developed secondary market (maturity, expertise in financial intermediation activities, volume of transactions etc.) and the broader economic outlook are the principal explanatory variables behind the determinants of equity line financing.

Abstract Abstract 3001 PIM kinases co-regulate several important elements of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in myeloma cells (Munugalavadla V. et al., ASH 2010 submitted abstr.). In this study we show that pan-PIM inhibition suppresses growth in myeloma cell lines, xenografts, and primary patient samples, both as a single-agent as well acting synergistically in combination with PI3K, AKT, and mTOR inhibition. The PIM kinases are a family of 3 ser/thr growth factor- & cytokine-induced proteins hypothesized to have redundant survival and growth functions. Although PIM-1,2 have been noted as highly expressed in myeloma (Claudio et al., 2002), there are few data to support potential therapeutic utility of PIM inhibition in this indication. We show myeloma cell lines express all 6 PIM protein isoforms to varying extents, and we describe the properties of a novel pan-PIM inhibitor GNE-652 with picomolar biochemical potency, an excellent selectivity profile, and favorable ADME properties. Myeloma cell lines exhibit a striking prevalence of response to GNE-652 (23 of 25 lines with IC50 < 1 micromolar, median < 0.1 micromolar) and synergy in combination with the PI3K inhibitor GDC-0941 (mean combination index values ~0.2 (n=25)). We used an unrelated compound GNE-568 which has a PIM-1,3 selective profile to test the hypothesis that PIM-2 may have a non-redundant role in myeloma cells. GNE-568 while having cellular potency against PIM-1 and PIM-3, did not have single agent activity in myeloma cell lines nor did it act synergistically with GDC-0941 (n=10 cell lines). Interestingly, PI3K and AKT inhibitors showed the greatest extent of synergy with GNE-652, whereas mTOR-selective inhibitors were synergistic to a lesser extent. Standard of care agents dexamethasone, revlimid, velcade, and melphalan also combined well with GNE-652, but to a lesser extent and not as broadly. The synergistic anti-tumor activity of GNE-652 and PI3K inhibitor GDC-0941 on cell lines or on primary myeloma bone marrow aspirates in vitro was associated with cell-cycle arrest and marked apoptosis. In addition, we found 4 of 4 myeloma xenograft mouse models tested with GNE-562 and GDC-0941 showed excellent combination efficacy that correlated with modulation of the expected pharmacodynamic markers. These results provide the rationale for further preclinical development of PIM inhibitors and provide the basis for a possible clinical development plan in multiple myeloma.

PurposeThis paper aims to examine the effects of lines of credit on a firm’s market timing behavior and the pricing of its seasoned equity offerings (SEOs). It shows that firms with lines of credit are more likely to time the equity market and receive less underpricing for their SEOs. It also shows that the propensity of firms with lines of credit to time the market is particularly significant for financially unconstrained firms. The results are robust to different measures of market timing and financial constraint, and these fill the gap in the literature that, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, has not examined the relation between lines of credit, market timing and value creation as related to equity offerings.Design/methodology/approachThe paper first investigates the relationship between lines of credit and the probability of a firm issuing SEOs using a logistic model. The paper then investigates whether firms with lines of credit engage in market timing behavior using ordinary least square regressions with two-way cluster-robust standard errors (standard errors that are robust to simultaneous correlation along two dimensions, such as firms and time) with two measures of market timing and two measures for financial constraints. Finally, the paper examines the relationship between lines of credit and SEO underpricing.FindingsIt was found that firms with lines of credit are more likely to time the equity market, perhaps driven by the financing flexibility resulting from the existence of their lines of credit. This finding comes mainly from financially unconstrained firms, as such an effect is not observed among financially constrained firms with lines of credit. It is further shown that firms with lines of credit are more likely to experience less severe equity underpricing, perhaps owing to market timing behavior. The results provide evidence on how lines of credit may create value to a firm through its market timing.Originality/valueThe paper sheds new light on how lines of credit may create value to a firm through the market timing channel.

Abstract t(4;14) chromosome translocations are found in 15% of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) cases and are associated with high risk. MM cells with t(4;14) over-express the histone methyltransferase (HMT), WHSC1/MMSET/NSD2, which leads to deregulation of gene expression due to increased di-methylation of Histone H3 at lysine 36 (H3K36me2). This activity has been shown to be essential for the survival of t(4;14) MM cells. In addition to WHSC1, another HMT, SETD2, has been shown to methylate H3K36. SETD2 is the only known enzyme capable of tri-methylation of H3K36 and has been reported to play a role in transcriptional elongation and alternative splicing. CRISPR pooled screening has shown that SETD2 activity is required for viability of a variety of cancer cell lines. This led Epizyme to develop small molecule inhibitors of SETD2 enzyme activity in order to understand the role of SETD2 in tumorigenesis. Through our drug discovery efforts, we identified EPZ-040414, a potent and selective inhibitor of SETD2 with low nM cell biochemical activity and broad selectivity against a panel of other HMTs. The proposed role of SETD2 in H3K36 methylation led us to test a panel of MM cells, including 6 t(4;14) cell lines with EPZ-040414. Inhibition of SETD2 resulted in reduced global tri-methylation of H3K36 in t(4;14) bearing MM cell lines. In contrast, there was no effect on global di-methyl H3K36 levels, indicating that WHSC1 activity is not affected by SETD2 inhibition. Moreover, 5/6 t(4;14) MM cell lines showed a cytotoxic response to treatment with EPZ-040414 with IC50s ranging between 60 and 200 nM, while all non-t(4;14) MM cell lines showed limited responses between 1 and 8 μM. Moreover, screening of a 280 cancer cell line panel with a SETD2 inhibitor showed minimal anti-proliferative activity in most cell lines tested. These findings show that t(4;14) MM cell lines require SETD2 activity for survival, suggesting that SETD2 inhibitors are strong candidates for the treatment of this high risk subgroup of MM. Efforts to further understand the interaction between SETD2 and WHSC1 in the molecular pathogenesis of t(4;14) myeloma will be presented. The current chemical series represented by EPZ-040414 is potent, selective, orally available, and currently under further evaluation for its therapeutic potential. Figure. Figure.

Abstract Abstract 4084 Related work from our group has shown the therapeutic utility of PIM inhibition in multiple myeloma cell lines, xenografts, and primary patient samples (Ebens A. et al., ASH 2010 submitted abstr.). In this study we provide detailed mechanistic findings to show that PIM kinase inhibition co-regulates several important elements of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, resulting in significant synergy for combination drug treatments. The PIM kinases are a family of 3 ser/thr growth factor- & cytokine-induced proteins hypothesized to have redundant survival and growth functions. GNE-652 is a pan-PIM kinase inhibitor with picomolar biochemical potencies and an excellent kinase selectivity profile. Myeloma cell lines exhibit sensitivity to single agent PIM inhibition and a striking synergy in combination with the PI3K inhibitor GDC-0941. Cells respond to this combination with cell cycle arrest and marked apoptosis in vitro. We tested a panel of selective PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibitors and found PI3K and AKT inhibitors showed the greatest extent of synergy with GNE-652, whereas mTOR inhibitors were synergistic to a lesser extent. These results suggest that PIM signaling converges on both TORC1 and AKT to generate these differential synergies. BAD is a negative regulator of both Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL, and we were able to confirm previous reports that AKT and PIM cooperate to inactivate BAD (Datt et al., 1997; Yan et al., 2003). Pim has been shown to potentially inactivate PRAS40, a negative regulator of TORC1 (Zhang et al., 2009). We demonstrate that PIM or PI3K inhibition caused a loss of phosphorylation on PRAS40 and results in a physical association of PRAS40 and TORC1 and a decrease in phosphorylated p70S6K and S6RP. These reductions were apparent in 7 of 7 cell lines assayed and enhanced by the combination of PI3K and PIM inhibition in these cell lines. Consistent with prior reports (Hammerman et al., 2005), we show that a second node of convergence between PIM and TORC1 is 4E-BP1. Both GDC-0941 and GNE-652 treatments reduced phosphorylation of 4E-BP1 in 7 of 7 myeloma cell lines. Since dephosphorylated 4E-BP1 competes with eIF4G for the mRNA cap binding factor eIF4E, we assayed immunoprecipitates of eIF4E for the presence of eIF4G and 4E-BP1 and observed increased BP1 and decreased 4G. The combination treatment significantly enhanced the loss of 4G relative to either single agent, and importantly, even at 5× the IC50 concentrations for single agents, combination drug treatment achieved greater extent of effect than single agent treatment. Thus PI3K and PIM pathways are redundant at the level of cap-dependent translational initiation mediated by eIF4E. It has been hypothesized a subset of mRNAs are particularly sensitive to inhibition of cap-dependent translation, and that this includes a number of oncogenes such as cyclin D1. We assayed global protein synthesis in MM1.s cells using 35S-methionine and as expected we observed only a modest ≂∼f20% decrease caused by either GNE-652 or GDC-0941 and this decrease was not enhanced by combination treatment. However, we noted across 7 different myeloma cell lines, strong decreases in levels of cyclin D1 that were enhanced by combination treatment. In summary, we have identified several points at which PIM and PI3K/AKT/mTOR converge to provide synergistic apoptosis in multiple myeloma cell lines. These results provide the rationale for further preclinical development of PIM inhibitors and provide the basis for a possible clinical development plan in multiple myeloma.

Abstract Abstract 2721 Poster Board II-697 The role of the CD40 pathway in B-cell cancers is rather enigmatic due to having polar opposite roles in tumor biology. Stimulation of the CD40 receptor can reduce cell viability of NHL cell lines and xenograft tumor models, whereas, in sharp contrast, constitutive CD40 stimulation can actually promote proliferation of NHL cell lines, as well as drive lymphomagenesis and transformation of primary B-cells. Therefore, targeting the CD40 pathway has been challenging due to a knowledge gap in understanding the factors that may dictate a pro- or anti-tumor role. To address this directly, we employed a large panel of NHL cell lines and xenografts models to simulate a patient population and to define the molecular parameters to test in the context of clinical trials. Using baseline gene expression profiling, we found that the in vitro activity of an antibody that stimulates the CD40 pathway, Dacetuzumab (SGN-40), correlated strikingly with a transcriptional profile that was representative of an inactive CD40 pathway. Resistant cells, on the other hand, displayed a transcriptional profile indicative of an activated CD40 pathway. Consistent with these observations, constitutive phosphorylation of ERK, a node downstream of CD40 signaling, was present predominantly in cell lines that were resistant to Dacetuzumab. Fifteen genes, based on their association with in vitro activity and their biology as components of the CD40 network, were selected as a classifier from these pre-clinical data and independently tested in a panel of cell lines and xenografts models. Testing the selected gene classifier by qRT-PCR from baseline fixed tumor tissue of 39 patients treated with Dacetuzumab in phase I and II clinical trials revealed the ability to predict sensitivity in patients, as determined by tumor shrinkage >10%, with an overall accuracy of 80%. Consistent with the observed tumor shrinkage, the classifier positive, predicted to respond to Dacetuzumab, patients also exhibited a prolonged progression free survival (PFS) compared to classifier negative patients, predicted not to respond to Dacetuzumab (HR = 0.23, p = 0.001). Finally, using a novel microarray approach to genome-wide expression profiling on fixed tumor tissue revealed that CD40 pathway activation was indeed an important predictor of response. Overall, these data suggest that sensitivity to Dacetuzumab can be predicted by pre-determining the CD40 pathway activation status of tumors.

An education equity mindset is fundamental to assuring all students are supported to achieve to their highest capacity.We have identified six attributes of an educational equity mindset critical to assuring teachers’ practices andprofessional choices are aligned with meeting the needs of all students. In an effort to promote education equitymindset among teachers we determined there was a need to first empirically document the construct. We surveyed 452teachers in the southern region of the United States. Our results indicate that we effectively measured our definition ofeducation equity mindset. We found multiple differences in the mindset attributes based on personal and professionalvariables. Our data indicate that teachers may hold competing or fragmented mindsets. Our research uncoveredmultiple needed lines of research and implications for teacher preparation and professional development.

Un financement par Equity lines permet à une entreprise de mobiliser des fonds supplémentaires à tout moment durant une période convenue afin de renforcer ses capitaux propres. Peu de recherches se concentrent sur ce mécanisme de financement par Equity lines et aucune sur les déterminants de la structure du capital, des mécanismes internes liés à la gouvernance et du contenu informationnel des marchés boursiers. Cette thèse s'articule autour de trois segments de recherche inter-reliés. Elle explore l'utilisation des mécanismes d’Equity lines, afin de mieux appréhender les critères qui motivent le recours à ce type de financement, en examinant à la fois les facteurs spécifiques aux entreprises et ceux relevant de leur environnement général. Notre recherche montre que les opportunités de croissance, la liquidité et le degré de développement du marché boursier (maturité, expérience des intermédiaires financiers, nombre de transactions, etc.) constituent les facteurs déterminant dans le choix d’un financement par Equity lines. Cette thèse prouve également que ces financements se retrouvent dans des entreprises à actionnariat managérial, dirigées par des hommes non enracinés, relativement âgés et moins diplômés, qui assurent la fonction de président du conseil d'administration. Nos travaux examinent enfin le contenu informationnel lors de l'annonce de l'émission d'Equity lines. Ils montrent que la réaction négative du marché autour de la date d'annonce, et la persistance de cet effet après la date d’annonce, soutient l’hypothèse de la signalisation d'informations privilégiées. Les différentes conclusions de cette thèse enrichissent le corpus de connaissances sur la structure du capital, la gouvernance d'entreprise et les marchés financiers. Mais les conséquences en termes de risques inhérents aux investissements utilisant cet instrument financier suscitent des interrogations à ce jour. Il s’agit notamment du risque de perte du capital investi, associé à une forte pression à la baisse sur le cours de l'actionEquity lines financing allows a manager to raise additional funds at any time during an agreed period to strengthen his or her equity. Little recent research has focused on this Equity lines financing mechanism and none on the determinants of capital structure, internal governance mechanisms, and the information content of equity markets. This thesis is structured around a set of interrelated research segments. It explores the use of Equity lines mechanisms to better understand the factors that motivate the use of this type of financing, by examining both the factors specific to companies and those related to their general environment. Our research shows that growth opportunities, liquidity, the degree of development of the stock market (maturity, experience of financial intermediaries, number of transactions, etc.) are the factors that determine the choice of Equity lines financing. This thesis also proves that male executives, who are not entrenched, relatively old and less educated, also serve as chairman of the board of companies with managerial shareholding. Our work evaluates the information content of the announcement of the Equity lines issue. We show that the negative market reaction around the announcement date, and the persistence of this effect after the announcement date, support the hypothesis of inside information reporting. The various findings of this thesis add to the body of knowledge on capital structure, corporate governance and financial markets. The consequences on the risks inherent in investments using this financial instrument are questionable. These include the risk of losing the capital invested, which is associated with strong downward pressure on the share price

In recent years the use of subscription lines of credit has increased exponentially, from $86.1 millions (2014) to $5.3 billions (2018). The rapid growth of the phe- nomenon of private equity funds using subscription lines of credit when acquiring companies (instead of directly making capital drawdowns from investors), has poor academic coverage. The phenomenon has been claimed by previous research to be a return manipulation technique that only benefits the general partner of the fund. The aim with this research is to increase transparency and to create knowledge about the impact and effects of using subscription lines of credit for both parties involved in a private equity deal. An extensive model is built based on the formula of a Geometric Brownian Motion, different subscription lines of credit strategies are evaluated by the performance of the fund and the returns distributed to each party. This in order to optimize the usage for both parties involved in a private equity fund. The main result of this thesis is that private equity funds can achieve higher perfor- mance and increase the actual return distributed to both the limited partners and the general partner by using subscription lines of credit. These results go beyond previous research stating that using subscription lines of credit will increase the per- formance in terms of the measure Internal Rate of Return, without increasing the actual return distributed to the limited partners. Through this research strategies have been found that yield higher performance in terms of a several performance measures and at the same time increase the actual return made compared to the case of not using subscription lines of credit.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate why Linas Matkasse has greater success in terms of market share than Middagsfrid despite the similarities of their concepts. The study will also examine potential and existing customers' image of the brands and corporate brand awareness. Method: This study is based on a triangulation in which both quantitative and qualitative methods are treated in the form of personal interviews and a questionnaire survey. Theoretical perspectives: Four theories are addressed in this study and they treat the brand from different aspects. The theories process how to create value, personality dimensions, how companies should act and strategies around brand. Empiricism: The empirical material consists of five interviews, one of which was with the brand manager at Middagsfrid. Then two interviews were conducted with consumers of Linas Matkasse and two interviews with consumers of Middagsfrid. A questionnaire survey has also been conducted. In addition to this secondary data was gathered from the Internet and corporate websites to see how the companies promote themselves. Conclusion: The study shows that the brand is of more importance than the product when comparing the brands Linas Matkasse and Middagsfrid.

The times of following a ‘one brand – one product’ strategy have long past. Nowadays, firms are increasingly recognizing the true value of their brands and are starting to use these as a source of competitive advantage. By introducing new products under an existing brand name, firms leverage the power of their brands and thus, aim at benefiting from the success of the parent brand. Brands are amongst the most valuable assets owned by a company, which encourages them to engage in brand extensions. The authors mainly distinguish between three brand extension strategy types: line extension, vertical line extension and category extension. Previous quantitative studies have identified that particularly brand equity and brand identity stand out as significantly influencing brand extension strategies. Therefore, this qualitative case study further explores how these two branding constructs affect firms’ brand extension decisions. While most past studies investigated the potential success of fictitious brands, this study performs qualitative interviews with brand and product managers of eight real case firms operating in the FMCG industry in Germany. The empirical data indicates that the pressure to innovate rises, as more and more new extension products are being introduced to the market in recent years. Nevertheless, the majority of firms opt for line extension strategies, while only few dare to enter a further distanced market segment. Hence, the condition of a “fit” between the parent brand and extension product is mostly accounted for. The study further suggests that a brand without strong brand equity will not be able to perform brand extensions at any level. However, even if brands do benefit from strong brand equity, firms may adopt divergent strategies, which is mainly dependent on the brand’s identity. The research results show that narrowly defined brands, predominantly distinguishable by concrete product features and physical facets, restrict the firms’ capability to extend a brand beyond its original product line. Contrarily, brands with a more abstract or value based identity provide more opportunities to stretch further from the parent brand. An emotional brand that succeeds in building a relationship to the customer, in representing a distinct personality or telling a story, is able to extend to a new product category. The study concludes that certain brands may be under-exploited, as they do not leverage their high equity and identity capabilities in terms of extending the brand to a further distanced market segment. As a result of the findings, two Brand Extension Strategy Matrices are constructed, setting the brand identity abstraction level (product or value based identity) into relation to (1) brand equity and (2) the identity “fit” of an extension product and the parent brand. Each of these two matrices explains the strategic consequences of a given set of brand equity and brand identity.

Food and media have become two popular aspects in todays society. The growing interest and commitment of food has resulted in companies offering prepared food bags that can be delivered to your doorstep. This study examines how the two companies ICAs matkasse and Linas matkasse use Instagram as a way to strengthen their external communication. By illustrating the communication through a recipient perspective and a content analysis, this study brings knowledge about organizations use of Instagram. The theory used as a basis for this study are mainly Kevin Lane Keller’s customer-based brand equity, communication theories such as Stuart Hall’s encoding/decoding and semiotic theories such as Roland Barthes mythology. The methods used were a qualitative content analysis to establish the brand equity of each organization, and focus group interviews to identify factors for customer perceptions on Instagram. The results of the study show that both the organizations studied used some posts on Instagram that were misinterpreted by the interview subjects. Other posts had great pictures, but the text didn't always match up, which led to the post being misleading. Linas matkasse tried to connect to their recipients, while ICAs matkasse had a more professional feeling and mostly advertised their products. The conclusions were that both organizations need to know their audience better and connect with them more by using a more interactive approach on Instagram.Mat och media engagerar allt mer i dagens samhället, det växande intresset för mat har resulterat i att organisationer erbjuder matkassar som kan levereras direkt till din dörr. Den här studien undersöker hur de två organisationerna ICAs matkasse och Linas matkasse använder Instagram för att stärka sin externa kommunikation. Genom att belysa kommunikationen ur ett mottagarperspektiv och en innehållsanalys, bidrar denna studie med kunskaper kring hur organisationer använder sig av Instagram. De teorier som använts är framförallt Kevin Lane Kellers kundbaserade varumärkesvärde, kommunikationsteorier så som Stuart Halls kodning/avkodning och semiotiska teorier så som Roland Barthes mytologi. Metoderna som använts är en kvalitativ innehållsanalys för att etablera varumärkesvärdet hos vardera organisation, och fokusgruppsintervjuer för att identifiera mottagarnas uppfattningar på Instagram. Resultaten av studien är att båda organisationerna som undersökts använder inlägg på Instagram som misstolkades av intervjudeltagarna. Andra inlägg hade bra bilder med dålig koppling till texten vilket ledde till att inläggen var missvisande. Linas matkasse försökte skapa en relation med sina mottagare, medan ICAs matkasse hade en mer professionell känsla och främst marknadsförde sina produkter. Slutsatserna var att båda organisationerna behöver vara mer medvetna om vilka deras mottagare är och interagera med dem genom att använda ett mer interaktivt förhållningssätt på Instagram.

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Political Science, 2011.Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 122-129).
The thesis seeks to provide an understanding of reasons for different outcomes of airport ground access projects. Five in-depth case studies (Hongkong, Tokyo-Narita, London- Heathrow, Chicago- O'Hare and Paris-Charles de Gaulle) and eight smaller case studies (Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Shanghai-Pudong, Bangkok, Beijing, Rome- Fiumicino, Istanbul-Atatirk and Munich- Franz Josef Strauss) are conducted. The thesis builds on existing literature that compares airport-rail links by explicitly considering the influence of the institutional environment of an airport on its ground access situation and by paying special attention to recently opened dedicated airport expresses in Asia. It is found that sustained government support and a sense of urgency for better airport access are the main motivating forces that need to be present if a dedicated airport express is to be constructed. For these reasons a number of dedicated airport express systems were constructed in Asia (Hong Kong, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Shanghai, Bangkok), where they were conceived simultaneously with the airports they serve. In cases with less focused objectives (Chicago, Paris, Chicago) lengthy planning periods have not yet led to the construction of an airport-rail link. London was the first airport-rail link in the Western world and exhibited strong government support for rail investments during a period of generally favorable conditions, which jointly led to the construction of the Heathrow Express. Five of eight dedicated systems that are studied exhibit underestimation of ridership and underestimation of delivery time. The finding replicates for Asian examples (Hong Kong, Seoul, Bangkok, Shanghai) Flyvbjerg's (2009) observations on UK and US examples that transportation projects tend to systematically overestimate project benefits. The enduring and systematic overestimates of ridership hint at deliberate strategic misrepresentation rather than psychological optimism bias or technical error as reason for the erroneous estimates. Planners are advised to be aware of incentives for strategic misrepresentation among public and private agencies that prepare technical studies as basis for decision making. In a number of systems that have dedicated rail service to an airport and are generally considered successful, fierce competition from buses has emerged recently (Hong Kong, Tokyo, London). It is recommended to planners of airport-rail links today to consider realization through bus rapid transit on dedicated rights-of-way in addition to airport-rail links because of their lower cost, wider scope in dropoff and pick-up destinations and easier scalability of capacity in times of low demand.

AbstractThe renewable energy (RE) industry faces a significant challenge globally: gaining and maintaining social acceptance. Social acceptance of RE projects, including associated infrastructure such as transmission lines, is deeply rooted in justice and equity concerns regarding environmental and social impacts, cultural implications, land use conflicts, and the legitimacy of consultation processes, among others. This paper argues that if addressing injustices is a condition for securing social acceptance, energy justice can serve as both a goal and roadmap to unfold acceptability towards RE projects while serving to identify critical elements that must be addressed. It does so by outlining considerations for achieving energy justice in RE projects and presenting an example on the role, potentialities, and challenges of the figure of community advisors as critical actors for ensuring energy justice.

AbstractA large strand of research in the economics and sociology of education has highlighted the existence of deeply rooted inequalities in educational choices along socioeconomic lines, even when net of prior performance. These disparities may take different forms at different stages of schooling and across institutional systems. Yet, due to the lack of data, it is often difficult to disentangle the role played by the various dimensions of socioeconomic background on students’ educational careers. While parental education and occupation may shape aspirations (and thus the wish to undertake ambitious educational programmes), lack of income could represent a material obstacle to the continuation of study. In this chapter, we focus on the effect of financial conditions on the probability of dropping out from university. Italy is an interesting study case, because the education system is mainly public and university tuition fees are relatively low and income progressive. Because direct costs for disadvantaged students are low, we would expect income not to be highly relevant in this context. By exploiting a unique data set from the University of Torino (in northern Italy) linking administrative data from students’ university careers and information on parental characteristics collected at matriculation, we analyse how socioeconomic background influences the first-year dropout probability. While extremely relevant in earlier educational outcomes, parental education and occupation no longer exert a sizable effect at this point in students’ lives. Instead, we find that economic conditions greatly influence the chances of completing university. This result suggests that low tuition fees may be insufficient to foster the participation of low-income high school graduates and that additional forms of support might be needed to ensure equity and, at the same time, raise the share of young people with higher education degrees, which is still too low in Italy.

AbstractIn education, the ‘Nordic model’ refers to the similarities and shared aims of the education systems developed in the five Nordic countries—Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Sweden and Norway—after World War II. Traditionally, there have always been many similarities and links between the Nordic countries through their historical connections and geographical proximity. The common experience of solidarity and political oppression during World War II also created the basis for a common political orientation in the postwar period, which was also reflected in the education systems during the development of the countries’ economies and their establishment of welfare states. At the same time, this very process has been strongly supported by social-democratic governance in these countries in the 1960s and 1970s (Blossing, Imsen, & Moos, 2014). The model is based on a concept ofEducation for All, where equity, equal opportunities and inclusion are consistently cited as the goal of schooling and orientation (Blossing et al., 2014; Telhaug, Mediås, & Aasen, 2006). This corresponds to the egalitarian idea of a classless society, which is characterised by individual democratic participation, solidarity and mutual respect and appreciation for all. This idea was manifested in, for example, major reallocations of economic resources through the tax systems and free schooling for all, which arose out of the principle that parents’ lack of economic resources should not prevent children from obtaining a good quality education. The equalisation of structural inequalities and creation of equity was—and still is—the task of the education system in the Nordic countries. Worldwide, especially within the Nordic countries, the view is being shared that the education system should be fair and provide access and opportunities for further education, regardless of where someone lives, the status of the parental home, where someone comes from, what ethnic background someone has, what age or gender someone is, what skills one has or whether someone has physical disabilities (Blossing et al., 2014; Quaiser-Pohl, 2013). Some special features of the Nordic system are therefore deeply embedded in the school culture in the countries, for example, through the fact that access to free and public local schools and adapted education is statutory, which is in contrast to many other countries, even other European ones (further developed and discussed in Chap.10.1007/978-3-030-61648-9_2). The Nordic model is widely considered a good example of educational systems that provide equal learning opportunities for all students. Achieving equity, here meaning the creation of fairness, is expressed concretely in political measures to distribute resources equally and strengthen the equality of marginalised groups by removing the barriers to seize educational opportunities, for example, when mixed-ability comprehensive schools are created or the educational system is made inclusive regarding students with special needs (UNESCO, 1994; Wiborg, 2009). Equality is roughly connoted with ‘sameness in treatment’ (Espinoza, 2007), while equity takes further in consideration also the question of how well the requirements of individual needs are met. Thus, the goal of equity is always linked to the concept of justice, provided that an equality of opportunities is created. If, however, one looks at individual educational policy decisions on the creation of educational justice in isolation, one must weigh which concept of equity or equality is present in each case. For example, it is not enough to formally grant equal rights in the education system to disadvantaged groups, but something must also be done actively to ensure that marginalised groups can use and realise this equality. The complexity of the terms becomes even greater when one considers that to achieve equality, measures can be taken that presuppose an unequal distribution of resources or unequal treatment and, therefore, are not fair e.g., when resources are bundled especially for disadvantaged groups and these are given preferential treatment (will be further developed and discussed in Chap.10.1007/978-3-030-61648-9_2). Thus, equality and equity rely on each other and are in a field of tension comprising multiple ideas (Espinoza, 2007).

AbstractPrivate equity funds are set up to invest in private companies for a predefined multiyear period. Private equity companies, i.e. the companies that run private equity funds, come in several types, with different goals and methods. Private equity performs an important role in funding and fostering companies that are as yet too small for the stock market and/or too risky for bank loans.By nature, private equity is very well suited to sustainable investing since it is a fundamental form of investing with active ownership, multiyear investment horizons, and close consideration of the company’s business model and circumstances. However, in the application of sustainability considerations, private equity falls behind the public equity space. The main difficulty lies in getting the right information for the investors in private equity funds, as many of these funds are still reluctant to systematically report on environmental and social factors—although this is improving. The integrated view on private equity is again similar to the one on public equity, but with the added challenge of data and comparability.

AbstractStudents’ motivation in mathematics has been shown to predict their achievement and whether they pursue a later career in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). To sustain equity in education, it is important that students are motivated for the STEM fields, independent of their background characteristics (e.g., gender and SES). Previous research has revealed that students’ motivation declines from primary to secondary school. The present study investigates whether this unwanted development may be related to students’ SES, and more importantly, what aspects of teachers’ instruction are related to student motivation for low, medium, and high-SES student groups in grade 5 and 9. We use data from students in grades 5 and 9 and their teachers who participated in TIMSS 2015 in Norway. Multilevel (students and classes), multi-group structural equation modelling is used to answer the research questions. In line with previous research from Germany and the USA, the results showed that SES is more important to student motivation in secondary than primary school, that low SES students’ motivation depends more on their teachers’ instructional quality than high SES students and that this dependency is stronger in secondary school than in primary school. The implications and contributions of the study are discussed.

Gender equality means giving equal opportunities to all people, when it comes to some human activity. According to the Law of Sport's Republic of Serbia, both sexes have equal rights to participate in sport. But, if all have equal chances, why do we have fare more man than woman? One explanation are available opportunities: in equality case, all have the same treatment (the same position), while in equity case all have justful treatment (resources for success are compatible with needs of one specific person or group). Equality insists of equal possibilities and conditions on the start line, while equity comes as result, in the end, when all have ensured justful and equal possibilities not at the beginning, but for reaching the goal and success. So, the aim of this study is to investigate relationship between gender equality and gender equity in sport in Serbia. The sample consisted of 1013 athletes: 62.88 % man and 37.12 % woman. The questionnaire consisted of sociodemographic data and gender classification of sports. The results show that there are big differences in representation of woman in some sports, and that 58.33 % of sports are perceived as gender neutral - 62.5 %. There were egal presence of man in neutral and masculine sports, while they were absent from feminine typed sports. So, it might be concluded that the process of sex typing in both sexes is moved toward neutral sports, which supports thesis about equality, but not equity, since the process of sex typing of sports is still more present in men.

Entrepreneurship is growing as a cross- and inter-disciplinary area of focus for higher education. From patent and tech transfer offices to business, science, and engineering programs, the demand for entrepreneurship resources and support delivered via libraries is booming. Building library collections to help patrons design, launch, and run successful businesses is challenging: Market research and private equity/venture capital resources arrive at premium prices. Increasingly, these resources must interoperate with software used to clean, analyze, and visualize data. This data is often difficult to find and deploy. Restrictive, corporate-style licenses reflect that new vendors are not yet acclimated to the academic market’s access requirements and licensing constraints. This paper will share a framework for how to understand entrepreneurship in higher education and explain the types of information commonly requested by users. Such information often exists in disciplinary silos, emphasizing the importance of collaborative collection development across subject lines. The authors will explore the unique challenges to building collections that serve patrons developing new ventures. This includes collaborating with external stakeholders to fund resources that have not been traditionally purchased by libraries. Strategies for licensing data and other e-resources in this space will be discussed, including the central complications arising from universities as incubators for for-profit startups. The authors will suggest best practices for building relationships with stakeholders, developing relevant collections and services, and marketing these resources to support communities.

The construction industry can contribute to social inequality and environmental degradation. In order to address these concerns, effective management throughout their lifecycle is crucial. Sustainable Project Management (SPM) is a managerial concept that sustainability of a project from inception to completion. Although SPM has received less attention compared to other concepts, it assists project managers in achieving sustainability across all three bottom lines. This study examines the SPM methods employed by mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) contractors in Sri Lanka. MEP sector is selected to narrow down the scope of the study. Subsequently, a qualitative research approach was adopted to collect data with semi-structured interviews involving ten MEP contractors who have experience and exposure in the industry. The sample was selected using snowballing sampling to ensure the diverse representation of MEP contractors of different scales throughout the study. The research findings highlight that the adoption of SPM practices in Sri Lanka is relatively low compared to international standards, primarily due to a lack of awareness among project managers. Furthermore, MEP managers face challenges in exerting control over their environments, emphasizing the need for a change in attitudes. The results of this study will contribute to efforts aimed at reducing the environmental impact of construction activities, promoting social equity, and enhancing long-term economic viability. Moreover, these findings will serve as a catalyst for further research exploring potential improvements in the implementation of SPM practices.

Social inequality has become of great importance nowadays, and it is in metropolitan areas where it appears to be more intense. Thus, inequality becomes unavoidable when rethinking the contemporary cities. To get a grasp of this phenomenon, for the first time in the metropolitan area of Barcelona, a common look between urban morphology and social cohesion is made. The goal is to describe the socio-morphologic structure of the metropolitan territory, which is the result of combining both categorizations and maps of the existing sociological and morphological aspects. For such purpose, a two-stage methodology has been used. The first stage develops the quantitative and qualitative criteria to overlap the two existing maps, and stablishes the areas that will be considered the new socio-morphologic fabrics. The second one applies the areal interpolation method to assign this socioeconomic and/or demographic information to these new fabrics. The result of this combination is a categorization of twenty-one types of fabrics that describes the socio-morphological metropolitan reality. This new categorization sheds light on a tight relationship between urban shape and social cohesion, both conditioning each other. Moreover, the new map shows socio-morphological similarities between distant areas and announces common urban strategies to achieve a larger urban equity. The interest of having this new approach increases when thinking in the new investigation lines that will be derived from there. One of them would be the evolutionary reconstruction, which will allow visualizing processes and ease the understanding of certain phenomena to foresee urban blight.

In higher education, learning a foreign language like English subsumes the development of learners’ linguistic, discourse and communicative competence. In most universities of Argentina, the rationale behind the inclusion of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses was to equip undergraduates with the necessary tools both for their courses of studies and for their future careers. In this globalized world, English has become the channel through which students and professionals seek new opportunities, like scholarships and job opportunities abroad, and even communicate science. Given such importance and considering students’ needs at the English Language Course within the School of Agricultural Sciences, Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata, Argentina, a blended approach to the teaching of ESP which draws from various fields has been designed and implemented. Its prime aim is to bridge an ever-widening gap between theory, needs analysis and classroom practices. This article describes this approach to ESP, explores students’ perceptions about the course, its focus on genre and its possible contribution to the development of their disciplinary or academic skills.

El insólito contexto pandémico, provocado por el COVID-19, ocasionó un cambio abrupto en las prácticas docentes. Así pues, el traslado de las aulas presenciales al contexto a distancia y digital tuvo como efecto la reinvención de los ambientes de aprendizaje y sus consecuentes procesos pedagógicos. A fin de intentar enfrentar el nuevo reto educativo, durante el estado de contingencia se pretendió renovar las experiencias didácticas realizadas en las clases de español para fines específicos, transformando, de este modo, el tradicional Escape Room Educativo al espacio virtual. Por consiguiente, a través de mi experiencia docente como profesora de español como lengua extranjera para la formación de profesionales del sector de los negocios y del turismo en el Instituto Politécnico de Bragança (Portugal), se presentan algunos ejemplos de experiencias de Escape Room digital y en línea llevadas a cabo durante el año lectivo 2019/2020. Con este trabajo se procura, por tanto, ofrecer algunas orientaciones y estrategias para la creación de enigmas y retos digitales con el fin de promover el trabajo en equipo y colaborativo, así como mejorar las capacidades de negociación y raciocinio intelectual del alumnado mediante el uso del pensamiento lógico y deductivo para la resolución de problemas. Debido a nuestra experiencia, se puede concluir que esta estrategia pedagógica basada en dinámicas y mecanismos propios del juego y la gamificación ofrecen al alumno experiencias inmersivas de aprendizaje en torno a una narrativa conductora en la que prevalece el misterio, la intriga y, sobre todo, la motivación.

Learning in TVET institutions in Kenya has traditionally been done face-to-face. However, the Covid-19 pandemic paralyzed learning countrywide and the learners’ experienced physical separation from their peers and trainers. In order to build resilience in learning in TVET institutions, learning was done on-line. The study sought to establish the opportunities and challenges of on-line learning to learners in TVET institutions in Kenya during the Covid-19 pandemic. The study adopted a descriptive research design. The target population was learners at Kabete National Polytechnic, in Kenya. Stratified, random and purposive sampling methods were used to obtain the sample. Data was collected using a questionnaire and interviews. The findings of the study identified the challenges of on-line learning as lack of internet connectivity and technological skills, poor delivery of practical skills among others. The opportunities included; learners became responsible for their learning process, innovative, acquired technological skills among others. The study recommended collaboration among TVET institutions around the world in order to build resilience in education and ensure access of education and training to all. It also recommended sponsorship of female student in STEM courses to enhance equity and gender equality.

There has been a rising awareness in recent years of the gender inequalities within STEM-related programmes and the need to overcome them and so bridge the gender gap in these academic disciplines. Different initiatives have arisen, among which there are gender equality policies, regulations and programmes. In line with this, the Catalan University Quality Assurance Agency (AQU) promoted a regulation for the incorporation of the gender perspective in all the bachelor’s and master’s degrees in tertiary education in Catalonia by 2021. To comply with this regulation and also to promote a culture of equity and equality of opportunities for women, the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) fostered different projects within its community. One of these projects has been developed by the Gender Equality Commission at Barcelona School of Nautical Studies and consists in the development of a web platform with resources for lecturers to incorporate this new transversal competence of gender perspective in the nautical, marine and naval engineering study plans. The main objective of this teaching innovation project is to aid teachers with the incorporation of this competence not only by providing online tools and resources but also gender-focused teacher training to allow them to design tailor-made activities and strategies. Some tests were also administered to assess the effectiveness of the implementation of these newly-designed gender equality teaching practices and some sample study plans and activities were developed to serve as a model and example of good practices for the incorporation of gender mainstreaming in the disciplines of nautical, marine and naval engineering.

Introduction Previous Guttmacher Institute research has described sexual and reproductive health disparities between immigrant women and their US-born counterparts. We present new analyses, based on two nationally representative surveys, that show inequities in health insurance coverage by citizenship status and race or ethnicity, and health care service use by citizenship status. These new findings are consistent with existing evidence indicating a need for policies to eliminate sexual and reproductive health inequities that have long persisted along lines of race and ethnicity, immigration status and income in the United States. These analyses make it clear that policymakers need to address these inequities. Two bills, the Health Equity and Access Under the Law (HEAL) for Immigrant Families Act and the Lifting Immigrant Families Through Benefits Access Restoration (LIFT the BAR) Act, represent opportunities to do just that.

Анотація:
The subject of gender and taxation has gained increasing traction in policy circles. Most existing evidence is based on the implicit and explicit bias framework developed in the mid-1990s. This framework has been useful in promoting research in this area, and tax reform to address gender biases. However, as explicit biases become increasingly rare, we argue that the framework is no longer fit for guiding policy towards improved tax equity and gender equality. Most importantly, the ‘tax-bias’ framing creates the impression that the solution to rectifying the underlying problem lies in reforming the tax system. We propose an alternative approach that starts with a clear focus on the policy goal of gender equality, from the perspective of a broader feminist fiscal policy agenda. It also backs a progressive tax policy and administrative reform agenda that generates sufficient revenue to fund policies for gender equality, while also pursuing tax equity.

Анотація:
In 2019, Cambodia had been enjoying its steady economic growth until the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic hit the country from February 2020 in the form of severe infectious diseases, causing both economic and social problems for people from all walks of life, especially poor and vulnerable families. The IDPoor Equity Card, a poverty identification and registration system, was introduced in Cambodia to provide cash to poor pregnant women and children since 2016. Given its continued success, Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen announced the implementation of the Cash Transfer Program (CTP) using the IDPoor Card system. The CTP provided cash to poor and vulnerable households across the country affected by the pandemic. Executing the first large-scale cash transfer program in history presented significant challenges for the Government of Cambodia. In addition to implementing the program, which had to adhere to the three principles of equity–equality–efficiency, the government had other challenges to overcome, such as the limited number of tablets and facilities to accommodate the many people waiting in line to withdraw cash. Under the guidance of the central government, particularly the Economic and Finance Policy Committee, a technical working group was established to lead the implementation process; coordination among local governments, local councils, agencies, and the poor and needy; review of the IDPoor database; establishment of the digital payment system; and training of local government staff. This enabled the CTP to effectively distribute cash to poor and vulnerable households during the pandemic.

The Welsh Government’s Race Equality Action Plan sets out to tackle structural racial inequalities in Wales in order to make ‘meaningful and measurable changes to the lives of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic people by tackling racism’ and achieve ‘a Wales that is anti-racist by 2030’. The consultation closed in July and responses are currently being reviewed. Delivering on this ambitious vision will require concerted and carefully thought-through actions. The Welsh Government and public bodies are going to need to establish a very clear set of priorities and metrics to ensure accountability for achieving measurable race equality improvements. Building on the recommendations in WCPP’s evidence reviews on improving race equality in Wales, which informed the development of the Race Equality Action Plan, this commentary highlights some of the steps that might be necessary or helpful to make good on the Plan’s aims.

This paper focuses on research from the RISE Ethiopia team and addresses two major objectives: analysing the progress made towards achieving key goals under the four focus areas of GEQIP-E (internal efficiency, quality, equity, and system strengthening for policy formulation and reform) and whether the indicators of GEQIP-E implementation have been associated with estimated improvements in numeracy over one academic year. The analysis is based on longitudinal data collected as part of the RISE Ethiopia programme during the academic years 2018/19 and 2021/22, as they coincide with the implementation of GEQIP-E (GEQIP-E was disrupted by the dual shocks of COVID-19 and the violent civil conflicts that erupted in November 2020). Findings are presented under the four areas of intervention (school internal efficiency, quality, equity and system strengthening) and the final section links these areas of intervention with learning outcomes.

Globally, studies show that women in the labor force are paid less, hold fewer senior positions and participate less in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. A 2019 UNESCO report found that women represent only 29% of science R&D positions globally and are already 25% less likely than men to know how to leverage digital technology for basic uses. As the use and development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to mature, its time to ask: What will tomorrows labor market look like for women? Are we effectively harnessing the power of AI to narrow gender equality gaps, or are we letting these gaps perpetuate, or even worse, widen? This collaboration between UNESCO, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) examines the effects of the use of AI on the working lives of women. By closely following the major stages of the workforce lifecycle from job requirements, to hiring to career progression and upskilling within the workplace - this joint report is a thorough introduction to issues related gender and AI and hopes to foster important conversations about womens equality in the future of work.

In recent years, significant progress has been made toward implementing policies and programs to support gender equity in Latin America and the Caribbean. However, large disparities continue to exist between men and women in educational and health outcomes. In the region, girls perform better than boys in soft skills and language at an early age and the school attendance gaps favor women at all levels. However, once in school, male students tend to perform better in mathematics in standardized tests compared to their female peers at age 15, with important implications for womens decisions on their future educational and career paths. At the same time, a large proportion of women in the region still lack access to reproductive technology. The maternal mortality rate remains high and tends to correlate with both low income levels and lack of prenatal care. Also, the rate of teen motherhood (1519 years old) is very high.
