Факторы финансовой грамотности и их влияние на финансовое благополучие — исследование молодого населения Харьяны, Индия

The purpose of this study —  is to determine how financial knowledge, attitudes and behaviours (determinants of financial literacy) influence an individual’s overall financial well-being.The methodological basis of the study was a survey of 115 respondents, for which a well-structured questionnaire was developed. Smart PLS version 3 software was used to conduct the PLS analysis. The authors applied a multivariate methodology called Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) to integrate characteristics that cannot be seen directly.It is concluded that both financial attitudes and financial behaviour affect financial well-being, with financial behaviour having a greater impact on financial well-being, while financial knowledge does not. The ultimate goal of financial literacy is to increase financial well-being among the population. The results of this study can be used by policy makers, government and educational institutions who should pay more attention to improving the very determinants of financial literacy that affect financial well-being.Цель данного исследования —  определить, как финансовые знания, отношение и поведение (факторы финансовой грамотности) влияют на общее финансовое благополучие человека.Методологической основой исследования стал опрос 115 респондентов, для чего была разработана хорошо структурированная анкета. Для проведения PLS– анализа использована программа Smart PLS версии 3. Авторы применили многомерную методологию под названием Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) для интеграции характеристик, которые нельзя увидеть напрямую.Сделан вывод, что финансовое отношение, как и финансовое поведение влияют на финансовое благополучие, при этом финансовое поведение в большей степени оказывает влияние на финансовое благополучие, в то время как финансовые знания не оказывают никакого влияния. Конечная цель финансовой грамотности заключается в повышении уровня финансового благополучия среди населения. Результаты данного исследования могут быть использованы политиками, правительством и образовательными институтами, которые должны уделять больше внимания улучшению именно тех определяющих факторов финансовой грамотности, которые влияют на финансовое благополучие.

Probing the relative contribution of the first and second responses to sensory gating indices: A meta‐analysis

Sensory gating deficit in schizophrenia patients has been well‐documented. However, a central conceptual issue, regarding whether the gating deficit results from an abnormal initial response (S1) or difficulty in attenuating the response to the repeating stimulus (S2), raise doubts about the validity and utility of the S2/S1 ratio as a measure of sensory gating. This meta‐analysis study, therefore, sought to determine the consistency and relative magnitude of the effect of the two essential components (S1 and S2) and the ratio. The results of weighted random effects meta‐analysis revealed that the overall effect sizes for the S1 amplitude, S2 amplitude, and P50 S2/S1 ratio were −0.19 (small), 0.65 (medium to large), and 0.93 (large), respectively. These results confirm that the S2/S1 ratio and the repeating (S2) stimulus differ robustly between schizophrenia patients and healthy controls in contrast to the consistent but smaller effect size for the S1 amplitude. These findings are more likely to reflect defective inhibition of repeating redundant input rather than an abnormal response to novel stimuli.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/87078/1/j.1469-8986.2010.01168.x.pd

Emerg. Infect. Dis

The multidrug-resistant (MDR) Salmonella enterica serotype Newport strain that produces CMY-2 β-lactamase(Newport MDR-AmpC) was the source of sporadic cases and outbreaks in humans in France during 2000–2005. Because this strain was not detected in food animals, it was most likely introduced into France through imported food products

Origin of Quasi-Periodic Pulsation at the Base of Kink Unstable Jet

We study a blowout jet that occurs at the west limb of the Sun on August 29$^{th}$, 2014 using high-resolution imaging/spectroscopic observations provided by SDO/AIA and IRIS. An inverse $\gamma$-shape flux-rope appears before the jet{--} morphological indication of the onset of kink instability. The twisted field lines of kink-unstable flux-rope reconnect at its bright knot and launch the blowout jet at $\approx$06:30:43 UT with an average speed of 234 km s$^{-1}$. Just after the launch, the northern leg of the flux rope erupts completely. The time-distance diagrams show multiple spikes or bright dots, which is the result of periodic fluctuations, i.e., quasi-periodic fluctuations (QPPs). The wavelet analysis confirms that QPPs have a dominant period of $\approx$ 03 minutes. IRIS spectra (Si~{\sc iv}, C~{\sc ii}, and Mg~{\sc ii}) may also indicate the occurrence of magnetic reconnection through existence of broad $\&$ complex profiles and bi-directional flows in the jet. Further, we have found that line broadening is periodic with a period of $\approx$ 03 minutes, and plasma upflow is always occurs when the line width is high, i.e., multiple reconnection may produce periodic line broadening. The EM curves also show the same period of $\approx$ 03 minutes in different temperature bins. The images and EM show that this jets spire is mainly cool (chromospheric/transition region) rather than hot (coronal) material. Further, line broadening, intensity, and EM curves have a period of $\approx$03 minutes, which strongly supports that multiple magnetic reconnection triggers QPPs in the blowout jet.Comment: The Astrophysical Journal (In press), 25 pages, 12 figure
