Purpose: This study aimed at examining the mediating effect of competitive advantage in the relationship between working capital management (WCM) and the financial performance of private hospitals in Western Uganda. Methodology: The study adopted a positivist approach and a cross-sectional research design to collect data from 32 Private hospitals in Western Uganda. A closed-ended questionnaire was used to collect data from hospital administrators, accountants, storekeepers and pharmacists in private hospitals who were purposively selected. Hierarchical multiple regression was used for data analysis. Findings: Results indicate that competitive advantage is a significant mediator in the relationship between working capital management and private hospitals' financial performance in Western Uganda. Unique Contribution to practice and policy: The study has deep-rooted the urgent need for private hospitals to adopt more innovative strategies to attain a competitive edge and hence superior financial performance. However, the study was positivistic, thus subject to methods bias that could have affected the results' validity. Keywords: Working Capital Management, Competitive advantage, financial performance

Aim: Despite years of empirical research, the nexus between banks development and the stock market with economic growth is still controversial. This study examined the impact of the stock market and banks development on the firm’s growth in Pakistan. The sector of non-financial firms chosen for analysis and financial firms ignored because of different structure. The sample of 45 firms listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) from the period of 2014-2019 used for the analysis. The sample has been selected based on the firm’s market capitalisation and random effect model to estimate both institution development and firm growth. We controlled the firm’s profitability, interest, and inflation. The results are robust to the Estimated Generalised Least Squares (EGLS) method. Results showed that significant positive relation exists between stock market development and firm growth, while a negative association exists between banks development and firm growth. Furthermore, control variables (profitability, interest, and inflation) have a significant negative impact on firm growth. The findings contribution in literature with perspective to Pakistan because prior studies done related to developed countries. Policymakers may use this study for making policy related to firms and economic growth.

Kalman filter (KF) provides optimal beta estimate with linear models where the noise covariances are known a priori. Noise covariance adaptation-based adaptive KFs (AKFs) have also been used to get these beta estimates. These AKFs suffer from one typical problem, namely inadequate noise filtering. This paper explores some new formulation of such AKFs to solve this problem in addition to applying other related existing formulations. The proposed methods have been analysed through simulation study along with empirical performance verifications through VaR backtesting, expected shortfall analysis, and in-sample performance analysis. Results show that two new and one existing AKFs are successful to provide smooth beta estimates.

A serious constraint of data availability over flood-prone areas in India limits the potential of carrying out hydrodynamic flood modelling studies. Such difficulties are encountered because of a lack of high-resolution topography, cross-section data of the rivers, and sufficient and accurate calibration and validation data sets. The present study addresses the problems faced in performing a comprehensive 1D-2D coupled flood modelling over a flood disastrous region Jagatsinghpur, Odisha, India. The constraints faced in terms of hydraulic parameters such as water level, discharge, and geometric parameters such as river geometry are investigated. The simulations were performed for a severe flood event in 2011 that incurred heavy socio-economic losses in the district. The establishment of a modelling platform for flood simulation shall elucidate the major constraints faced in hydrodynamic modelling for such flood-prone areas with poor data availability.

The global financial world has been experiencing increasing complexities in the design and construct of financial instruments, wherein the average retail investors need to be well informed and aware of the risks about the evolution of financial products and financial system. The global financial crisis of 2008-2009 is evident to the fact that traditional methods of financial advisory involving the use of human intermediaries and financial advisors is not an infallible method to determine one's financial decision or risk management. Almost a decade since the crisis, the advancement of financial technology in the form of robo-advisors and the use of data and visual analytics have completely transformed the way the retail investors make their financial decisions and also in the sphere of risk management of these investors. The study qualitatively analyses the use of the use of analytics and robo-advisory in determining retail investors' financial decisions and risk management by doing a systematic and an exhaustive literature review on the latest and the past studies on the topic.

Disaster is the sudden problem of the world. There is no time bound. By disaster, all the creatures of the earth are affected. Here, the authors have tried to show some issues which are related to the natural calamities and green transportation. The main investigation of the paper is to describe about humanitarian supply chain management with optimized transportation cost, time, and carbon emission. Here a real-life problem of flood affected area has been chosen. When such disasters happen, quick response can reduce the devastation and save lives, and thus, it requires fulfilling the basic humanitarian needs of the affected population. In such case, organizations should also maintain the emission of the vehicles in safe range to mitigate the further disaster by pollution. A multi-objective solid transportation problem considering cost, time, and emission has been presented here. To solve the problem, this paper has used goal programming method and pareto optimal solution method. A comparison of results is also shown later. Some managerial insights are drawn to describe the situation.

The Kanun of Leke Dukagjini is a collection of Albanian norms and customs with a legal-social character, in several centuries, before and after the life of Leke Dukagjini, which is thought to be a codifier. The laws of the Code have long served as social norms and as a system of self-government that prevailed in the highlands of northern Albania at the time when the region was ruled by the Ottoman Empire. The Code has a fundamental importance in the history of the Albanian people as it is an ancient document. His first written form refers to Leke Dukagjini, although it is considered to have existed long ago and to belong to the traditions of oral traditions inherited from generation to generation. The Code by Lekë Dukagjini was summarized with notes by Father Shtjefën Gjeçovi during the years 1910-1925 and was published in 1933, after Gjeçov's death. The interests of scholars but also of translators have been constant. It was first translated into Italian, then into Serbian, French, Russian, and English. The English translation, which resonated tremendously, was made in 1989 by Leonard Fox and published in New York. Numerous scholars from different parts of the world have written about the ancient Albanian Code. One of them is the Italian professor of colonial law at the Royal University of Rome, Salvatore Vilari, who in 1940 published a long study entitled "Albanian customary legal norms-Kanun of Lekë Dukagjini" (Le consuetudini giuridiche dell'Alabania-Il Kanun di Lek Dukagjin), for which we will talk in our paper. In this paper he deals with the origin of the Code of Lek Dukagjini, the influential weight of the Dukagjins, the summary (book) of Father Gjeçov and Nopça, the territorial power of the Kanun, with the basic concepts on the Albanian tribe, the organs of the tribe, the leaders of the tribe, the blood feud and with many elements which characterize this monumental work of Albanians.
Leke Dukagjini的《卡努》(Kanun of Leke Dukagjini)收集了Leke Dukagjini生前和之后几个世纪的阿尔巴尼亚规范和习俗，具有法律社会特征，被认为是一部法典编纂者。在奥斯曼帝国统治阿尔巴尼亚北部高地时，《法典》的法律长期以来一直是社会规范和自治制度。《治罪法》在阿尔巴尼亚人民的历史上具有根本的重要性，因为它是一份古老的文件。他的第一个书面形式指的是Leke Dukagjini，尽管它被认为很久以前就存在了，属于代代相传的口头传统。Lekë Dukagjini编写的《法典》在1910-1925年期间由Shtjefën gje罗夫神父总结，并在gje罗夫去世后的1933年出版。学者和翻译家的兴趣一直是不变的。它首先被翻译成意大利语，然后被翻译成塞尔维亚语、法语、俄语和英语。1989年，伦纳德·福克斯(Leonard Fox)将小说翻译成英文，并在纽约出版，引起了极大的反响。来自世界各地的许多学者都写过关于古代阿尔巴尼亚法典的文章。其中之一是罗马皇家大学的意大利殖民法教授Salvatore Vilari，他在1940年发表了一篇名为“阿尔巴尼亚习惯法规范- Lekë Dukagjini的Kanun”(Le consuetudini giuridiche dell'Alabania-Il Kanun di Lek Dukagjini)的长篇研究，我们将在我们的论文中对此进行讨论。在本文中，他论述了《Lek Dukagjini法典》的起源、Dukagjini的影响力、gje洛夫神父和nop拉神父的总结(书)、卡努人的领土权力、阿尔巴尼亚部落的基本概念、部落的机构、部落的领导人、血战以及阿尔巴尼亚人这部不朽作品的许多特征。

In our paper, we have tried to create a brief overview of the influence of literature, as a precious piece of culture, in the development of the reader's imagination. Not without any purpose, we have chosen the novel "The Great is the Lament of Sin". In this work, we can come up with a tendency, where the relationship between the reader and the literary work passes to the levels of euphoria passing through the limits of mythicism and surrealism in elevating the imagination. Our attention has been given to some important issues such as: Exaltation of awareness and imagination in relation to sin and desire for life. The spiritual exaggeration of the protagonists as a cultural model interfering in Balkan, but not only at mythical times. The model of eternity, issues of surrealism and religious culture, according to the worldview and imagination in Albanian culture. The twisting of time is the product of the consciousness and imagination of the protagonists in this work. Confession is the best model in describing euphoric behaviors in culture.
