An Empirical Study of the Relationship between Macroeconomic Variables and Stock Price: A Study on Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE)

Literature strongly supports vibration of the stock price as a consequence of various macroeconomic factors (Darrat, 1990; Fama & Schwert, 1977; Jaffe & Mandelker, 1976; Nelson, 1976; Pearce & Roley, 1985; Ripley, 1973). This study has investigated the explanatory power of various macro-factors such as inflation rate, exchange rate, interest rate, money supply and production index on the variability of the stock price in Bangladesh. Multiple regression analysis has been conducted to asses the relationship between the stated macro economic factors with stock price. All share price index of the Dhaka Stock Exchange has been used as a proxy for stock price, the dependent variable of the study. No significant relationship has been found between the stock price and any of the macroeconomic factors. The study bodes well for advanced empirical models with additional macroeconomic variables.

Saluran dan bauran pemasaran produk makanan beku di era new normal

Pemasaran produk makanan beku hasil pertanian/perikanan sangat baik dengan adanya peningkatan konsumsi produk per kapita dunia setiap tahun dan kebutuhan masyarakat akan hidup sehat, higienis dan praktis semakin tinggi. Namun, semenjak COVID-19 menjadi pandemi dunia, perilaku konsumen terhadap konsumsi produk makanan beku (frozen food) seperti ikan beku, daging beku, sayuran beku dan olahan hasil pertanian/perikanan beku berubah baik menyangkut saluran dan bauran pemasaran dalam menghadapi era new normal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis saluran dan bauran pemasaran produk usaha makanan beku di era new normal. Penentuan sampel daerah (Makassar, Maros dan kabupaten Gowa) dan responden secara purposive. Jumlah sampel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 20 % dari total pelaku usaha makanan beku (frozen food). Metode analisis yang digunakan yaitu: analisis deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keragaan saluran pemasaran produk makanan beku hasil pertanian/perikanan terdiri dari 3 (tiga) saluran pemasaran. Penerapan bauran pemasaran usaha makanan beku di era new normal tetap menganut prinsip 4 P + 1 S yaitu: Produk (Product) , Harga (Price), Distribusi (Place), Promosi (Promotion) dan Layanan (Service). Penelitian ini menyarankan agar dilakukan penelitian lanjutan terkait peningkatan layanan dan strategi pemasaran produk makanan beku hasil pertanian/perikanan pasca pandemic covid-19 berakhir

Free Convection Fluid Flow In the Presence of A Magnetic Field with Thermally Stratified High Porosity Medium

AbstractMHD free convection over an inclined plate in a thermally stratified high porous medium in the presence of a magnetic field has been studied. The dimensionless momentum and temperature equations have been solved numerically by explicit finite difference technique with the help of a computer programming language Compaq Visual Fortran 6.6a. The obtained results of these studies have been discussed for the different values of well known parameters with different time steps. Also, the stability conditions and convergence criteria of the explicit finite difference scheme has been analyzed for finding the restriction of the values of various parameters to get more accuracy. The effects of various governing parameters on the fluid velocity, temperature, local and average shear stress and Nusselt number has been investigated and presented graphically

Floral biology, flowering behaviour and fruit set development of Jatropha curcas L. in Malaysia

This paper describes the flowering behaviour of Jatropha curcas cultivated under Malaysian tropical climate. Investigation was carried out by observing the floral morphology, flowering sequence of pistillates, floral anthesis time, flower daily anthesis, flowering and fruiting plant behaviour, flower sex and fruit set ratio. Floral reproductive organs were examined using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Jatropha is monoecious and it produces individual flowers in a dichasial cyme. Each Jatropha inflorescence has at least six compound cymes. The male flower anthesis started the earliest at 12.00 am and once again at 6.10 am to 6.46 am. The female flower anthesis commenced at 6.35 am to 8.25 am. The male flowers opened for a period of 8 to 11 days, while the female flowers opened for only 3 to 4 days. The reading of the male to the female flower ratio was taken twice, 22:1 in December 2008 and 27:1 in April 2009. The flower to fruit ratios were 6:5 (January 2009) and 2:1 (May 2009). Numerically, 0-10 female flowers and 25-215 male flowers are produced in the same inflorescence. In this study, the terminal stem of Jatropha bore fruits profusely in January, May and August 2009. Meanwhile, the development of the floral meristem consists of three stages which include a vegetative stage, a transition from vegetative to floral stage and development of flower parts. The meristem was in the transition stage at day 6. Although all sepals and a petal were developed at day 18, the presence of reproductive organs developing at this particular stage was not detected. Flower and fruit development took approximately 3 months to complete the full cycle, i.e. from the initiated floral bud stage until fruit maturity

Transfer Pricing And Taxation Implications Disclosure In Segmental Reporting: Malaysian Evidence

Transfer pricing has emerged as common practice among highly diversified companies. Company goes for either domestic transfer pricing or international transfer pricing for several distinctive reasons. While domestic transfer pricing aims for enhancing divisional autonomy and divisions’ managers, international transfer pricing expects for less taxes, tariff, duties and excises. Therefore, international transfer pricing has significant taxation implication. With expansion of transfer pricing, financial statement users demand unconsolidated account to thoroughly evaluate specific segments’ performance, track transfer pricing practices and the taxation implication on the companies. Due to these increasing demands, segmental reporting is impartially needed. The present paper highlights the (1) theoretical aspect of transfer pricing and its taxation implication and (2) the disclosure of transfer pricing and its taxation implication in Malaysian segmental reporting environment. A study of 80 companies listed on Malaysian Board has been conducted to evaluate the transfer pricing and its taxation implication disclosure in Malaysian’s segmental reporting environment. As exploratory attempt, the study found that companies voluntarily disclose the basis of setting up transfer price. However, such disclosure is not adequate to assist performance evaluating and decision-making process as transfer price is only been reported in business segment, taxation implication has been disclosed as consolidated figure and moreover transfer pricing and its taxation implication is voluntary disclosure. Intensive effort should be carried out to improve those disclosures in future particularly by imposing mandated reporting for transfer pricing and its taxation implications. Further study shall be conducted to expand the sample, intensify segment report preparers’ behavioral study and cross analysis between countries

Histopathological study of nasal masses, a one year retrospective study in a tertiary care centre of Assam

Background: Prolapsed lining of the nasal sinuses are defined as nasal polyp. Diseases of the nasal cavity include viral, bacterial and fungal infections, nasal cavity tumors (benign and malignant) as well as inflammations of the nasal mucosa. This study was undertaken to note the various histopathological patterns of nasal masses, their classification and relative distribution of various lesions with regard to age and sex in our setting.Methods: The study is done for a period of 1 year (July 2018 to June 2019). In this study, 30 patients are selected who presented in our hospital with nasal masses and having multiple types of clinical presentations.Results: Total 30 cases presented as nasal mass. Overall male to female ratio was 2.3:1. Nonneoplastic nasal masses formed the largest group of lesions; 24 cases (80%), followed by 6 cases (20%) of neoplastic nasal masses. Inflammatory polyp was the commonest non neoplastic lesion constituting 22 cases followed by rhinosporidiosis with 2 cases. Out of the 6 neoplastic nasal masses, 5 were benign and 1 was malignant. Out of the benign neoplastic masses, inverted papilloma constituted 3 cases and nasopharyngeal angiofibroma constituted 2 cases. Malignant neoplastic mass was embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma.Conclusions: Nasal obstruction and rhinorrhea are the most common symptoms of presentation. Simple inflammatory nasal polyps are the most common histological pattern seen in our environment, and surgery is the best modality of treatment
