LerĂžy Seafood Group ASA : Strategisk regnskapsanalyse og verdivurdering
I denne masterutredningen er det blitt utfĂžrt en omfattende strategisk regnskapsanalyse og
verdivurdering av LerÞy Seafood Group ASA (LerÞy). Masteroppgavens formÄl er Ä estimere verdien
av egenkapitalen per 31. desember 2022. Fundamental verdivurdering er oppgavens hovedmetode,
supplert med komparativ verdsettelse. Det endelige verdiestimatet ble avslutningsvis sammenlignet
med bÞrskurs pÄ verdsettelsestidspunktet, for Ä avgi en anbefalt handlingsstrategi av LerÞy-aksjen.
FĂžrste del av masteroppgaven begynner med en presentasjon av LerĂžy og oppdrettsbransjen, deretter
fĂžlger strategisk analyse. Den eksterne bransjeanalysen belyser at oppdrettsnĂŠringen er attraktiv, dette
bekreftes senere av lÞnnsomhetsanalysen som viser en bransjefordel pÄ 7,3 %. Restriktiv
konsesjonspolitikk medfĂžrer hĂžye inngangsbarrierer som fĂžlgelig demper konkurransen.
MiljĂžmessige utfordringer er bransjens stĂžrste trussel og svekker produksjonen av laks. HĂžy
etterspÞrsel etter laks som sÄdan kombinert med begrensninger i tilbudet, driver prisene opp.
Internanalysen avdekker at LerĂžy ikke har varig konkurransefortrinn. Den negative ressursfordelen
tilskrives en marginulempe, som beror pÄ at LerÞy har hÞyere driftskostnader per krone i
driftsinntekter enn bransjen. Dette mener vi skyldes hĂžyere relative fĂŽrkostnader.
Rentabilitetsanalysen konkluderer med negativ ressursfordel pÄ -2,4%.
Del 2 av oppgaven begynner med en omfattende omgrupperings- og justeringsprosess av LerĂžy og de
komparative selskapenes regnskap. Fra regnskapsanalysen fremgikk det at LerĂžy ikke innehar
likviditets- eller soliditetsrisiko, og er godt rustet til Ä hÄndtere potensielle nedgangstider. Videre ble
selskapets historiske avkastningskrav estimert, samt utarbeiding av rentabilitetsanalyser.
LÞnnsomhetsanalysen slo fast at LerÞy i perioden 2016-2022 har oppnÄdd strategisk fordel pÄ 5,58%,
bakteppet er i hovedsak bransjefordelen.
I siste del av oppgaven ble det utarbeidet et fremtidsregnskap og -krav. Usikkerhet i dag vedrĂžrende
grunnrenteskatt vil medfÞre en lavere strategisk fordel pÄ kort sikt, men mot steady state har vi
estimert en vekst pÄ 3,29%. Den fundamentale verdsettelsen resulterte i et verdiestimat pÄ 55,5 kr per
aksje. For Ä fastslÄ usikkerheten i verdiestimatet ble det foretatt en simuleringsanalyse av de viktigste
budsjettdriverne. Analysen fastslo hĂžy usikkerhet, verdiestimatet var sĂŠrlig fĂžlsomt overfor endringer
i driftsinntektsvekst og netto driftsmargin ved budsjetthorisonten. Vi benyttet multipler som
supplerende verdsettelse, gjennomsnittet av disse ble 71,17 kr per aksje. Ved Ă„ vekte den
fundamentale metoden 80 % og den komparative verdsettelsen 20 %, kom vi frem til et endelig
estimat pÄ kroner 58,6 per aksje. Den 23. mai 2023 var bÞrskursen 50,8, dermed konkluderer
oppgaven med kjĂžpsanbefaling pĂ„ aksjen. Ă
rsaken til at vÄrt estimat er hÞyere enn bÞrskursen,
skyldes i hovedsak at markedet er mer pessimistisk til grunnrenteskatten.nhhma
PERAN GEREJA DALAM MENINGKATKAN MOTIVASI UNTUK BERIBADAH SECARA TATAP MUKA PASCA PANDEMI COVID
After two years of a pandemic where worship activities could not be carried out and were limited, the government began to relax the rules for worship, and churches resumed their activities and held face-to-face worship. Even though some congregations are starting to come to worship face-to-face enthusiastically, others are still choosing to worship online. During the hybrid worship period, where online services are still held simultaneously as face-to-face services, the church seeks various ways to invite the entire congregation back to attend services. Based on direct observations and interviews with pastors and congregations that have attended, various factors have been found that can be a driving force for congregations longing to attend face-to-face activities; the church also uses various creative ways to provoke the desire of congregations that are not present to be able to feel and remember the enjoyment worship directly. Efforts to attract the congregation to return to attendance, thanks to the role of the pastor's attention to the congregation and various supporting factors, have resulted in the return of almost the entire congregation for face-to-face worship.Setelah dua tahun pandemi dimana kegiatan beribadah tidak dapat dilakukan dan dibatasi, pemerintah mulai melonggarkan aturan beribadah, gereja memulai kembali beraktifitas dan mengadakan ibadah tatap muka. Walaupun sebagian jemaat mulai antusias datang beribadah tatap muka, sebagian jemaat yang tetap memilih beribadah daring. Dalam masa ibadah hybrid dimana ibadah on line masih dilaksanakan bersamaan ibadah tatap muka, gereja mencari berbagai cara kembali mengajak seluruh jemaat kembali hadir dalam ibadah. Berdasarkan pengamatan dan wawancara secara langsung dengan gembala dan jemaat yang telah hadir didapati berbagai faktor yang dapat menjadi pendorong untuk jemaat rindu untuk hadir dalam kegiatan tatap muka, gereja juga menggunakan berbagai cara yang kreatif untuk memancing keinginan jemaat yang belum hadir dapat merasakan dan mengingat kembali kenikmatan beribadah secara langsung. Usaha untuk menarik jemaat untuk kembali hadir berkat peran perhatian gembala kepada jemaat dan berbagai faktor pendukungnya membuahkan hasil dengan kembali hadirnya hampir seluruh jemaat untuk beribadah tatap muka
Treating spondyloarthritis, including ankylosing spondylitis and psoriatic arthritis, to target: recommendations of an international task force
Background: Therapeutic targets have been defined for diseases like diabetes, hypertension or rheumatoid arthritis and adhering to them has improved outcomes. Such targets are just emerging for spondyloarthritis (SpA).
Objective: To define the treatment target for SpA including ankylosing spondylitis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and develop recommendations for achieving the target, including a treat-to-target management strategy.
Methods: Based on results of a systematic literature review and expert opinion, a task force of expert physicians and patients developed recommendations which were broadly discussed and voted upon in a Delphi-like process. Level of evidence, grade and strength of the recommendations were derived by respective means. The commonalities between axial SpA, peripheral SpA and PsA were discussed in detail.
Results: Although the literature review did not reveal trials comparing a treat-to-target approach with another or no strategy, it provided indirect evidence regarding an optimised approach to therapy that facilitated the development of recommendations. The group agreed on 5 overarching principles and 11 recommendations; 9 of these recommendations related commonly to the whole spectrum of SpA and PsA, and only 2 were designed separately for axial SpA, peripheral SpA and PsA. The main treatment target, which should be based on a shared decision with the patient, was defined as remission, with the alternative target of low disease activity. Follow-up examinations at regular intervals that depend on the patient's status should safeguard the evolution of disease activity towards the targeted goal. Additional recommendations relate to extra-articular and extramusculoskeletal aspects and other important factors, such as comorbidity. While the level of evidence was generally quite low, the mean strength of recommendation was 9-10 (10: maximum agreement) for all recommendations. A research agenda was formulated.
Conclusions: The task force defined the treatment target as remission or, alternatively, low disease activity, being aware that the evidence base is not strong and needs to be expanded by future research. These recommendations can inform the various stakeholders about expert opinion that aims for reaching optimal outcomes of SpA
Immunological corollary of the pulmonary mycobiome in bronchiectasis:The Cameb study
Understanding the composition and clinical importance of the fungal mycobiome was recently identified as a key topic in a âresearch prioritiesâ consensus statement for bronchiectasis. Patients were recruited as part of the CAMEB study: an international multicentre cross-sectional Cohort of Asian and Matched European Bronchiectasis patients. The mycobiome was determined in 238 patients by targeted amplicon shotgun sequencing of the 18Sâ28S rRNA internally transcribed spacer regions ITS1 and ITS2. Specific quantitative PCR for detection of and conidial quantification for a range of airway Aspergillus species was performed. Sputum galactomannan, Aspergillus specific IgE, IgG and TARC (thymus and activation regulated chemokine) levels were measured systemically and associated to clinical outcomes. The bronchiectasis mycobiome is distinct and characterised by specific fungal genera, including Aspergillus, Cryptococcus and Clavispora. Aspergillus fumigatus (in Singapore/Kuala Lumpur) and Aspergillus terreus (in Dundee) dominated profiles, the latter associating with exacerbations. High frequencies of Aspergillus-associated disease including sensitisation and allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis were detected. Each revealed distinct mycobiome profiles, and associated with more severe disease, poorer pulmonary function and increased exacerbations. The pulmonary mycobiome is of clinical relevance in bronchiectasis. Screening for Aspergillus-associated disease should be considered even in apparently stable patients.MOE (Min. of Education, Sâpore)NMRC (Natl Medical Research Council, Sâpore)Published versio
Distinct 'Immuno-Allertypes' of Disease and High Frequencies of Sensitisation in Non-Cystic-Fibrosis Bronchiectasis
Rationale: Allergic sensitization is associated with poor clinical outcomes in asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cystic fibrosis; however, its presence, frequency, and clinical significance in nonâcystic fibrosis bronchiectasis remain unclear. Objectives: To determine the frequency and geographic variability that exists in a sensitization pattern to common and specific allergens, including house dust mite and fungi, and to correlate such patterns to airway immune-inflammatory status and clinical outcomes in bronchiectasis. Methods: Patients with bronchiectasis were recruited in Asia (Singapore and Malaysia) and the United Kingdom (Scotland) (nâ=â238), forming the Cohort of Asian and Matched European Bronchiectasis, which matched recruited patients on age, sex, and bronchiectasis severity. Specific IgE response against a range of common allergens was determined, combined with airway immune-inflammatory status and correlated to clinical outcomes. Clinically relevant patient clusters, based on sensitization pattern and airway immune profiles (âimmunoallertypesâ), were determined. Measurements and Main Results: A high frequency of sensitization to multiple allergens was detected in bronchiectasis, exceeding that in a comparator cohort with allergic rhinitis (nâ=â149). Sensitization was associated with poor clinical outcomes, including decreased pulmonary function and more severe disease. âSensitized bronchiectasisâ was classified into two immunoallertypes: one fungal driven and proinflammatory, the other house dust mite driven and chemokine dominant, with the former demonstrating poorer clinical outcome. Conclusions: Allergic sensitization occurs at high frequency in patients with bronchiectasis recruited from different global centers. Improving endophenotyping of sensitized bronchiectasis, a clinically significant state, and a âtreatable traitâ permits therapeutic intervention in appropriate patients, and may allow improved stratification in future bronchiectasis research and clinical trials.Ministry of Education (MOE)Ministry of Health (MOH)National Medical Research Council (NMRC)Published versionSupported by the Singapore Ministry of Healthâs National Medical Research Council under its Transition Award NMRC/TA/0048/2016 (S.H.C.) and Changi General Hospital Research grant CHF2016.03-P (T.B.L.).

Multidifferential study of identified charged hadron distributions in -tagged jets in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV
Jet fragmentation functions are measured for the first time in proton-proton
collisions for charged pions, kaons, and protons within jets recoiling against
a boson. The charged-hadron distributions are studied longitudinally and
transversely to the jet direction for jets with transverse momentum 20 GeV and in the pseudorapidity range . The
data sample was collected with the LHCb experiment at a center-of-mass energy
of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.64 fb. Triple
differential distributions as a function of the hadron longitudinal momentum
fraction, hadron transverse momentum, and jet transverse momentum are also
measured for the first time. This helps constrain transverse-momentum-dependent
fragmentation functions. Differences in the shapes and magnitudes of the
measured distributions for the different hadron species provide insights into
the hadronization process for jets predominantly initiated by light quarks.Comment: All figures and tables, along with machine-readable versions and any

Participatory Research for Low-resourced Machine Translation:A Case Study in African Languages
Research in NLP lacks geographic diversity, and the question of how NLP can be scaled to low-resourced languages has not yet been adequately solved. "Low-resourced"-ness is a complex problem going beyond data availability and reflects systemic problems in society. In this paper, we focus on the task of Machine Translation (MT), that plays a crucial role for information accessibility and communication worldwide. Despite immense improvements in MT over the past decade, MT is centered around a few high-resourced languages. As MT researchers cannot solve the problem of low-resourcedness alone, we propose participatory research as a means to involve all necessary agents required in the MT development process. We demonstrate the feasibility and scalability of participatory research with a case study on MT for African languages. Its implementation leads to a collection of novel translation datasets, MT benchmarks for over 30 languages, with human evaluations for a third of them, and enables participants without formal training to make a unique scientific contribution. Benchmarks, models, data, code, and evaluation results are released under https://github.com/masakhane-io/masakhane-mt
Angular analysis of the B-0 -> K*(0) e(+) e(-) decay in the low-q(2) region
An angular analysis of the decay is performed using a data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 {\mbox{fb}^{-1}}, collected by the LHCb experiment in collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV during 2011 and 2012. For the first time several observables are measured in the dielectron mass squared () interval between 0.002 and 1.120. The angular observables and which are related to the polarisation and to the lepton forward-backward asymmetry, are measured to be and , where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The angular observables and which are sensitive to the photon polarisation in this range, are found to be and .
