A transfer learning framework for the assessment of unconventional resources opportunities in the Middle East

An inadequate understanding of fluid transport processes in ultra-low permeability rocks has propelled data-driven modeling as an alternative and complementary tool to create recovery forecasts that honor the available data in the field. However, newly discovered fields lack data, which makes it challenging to apply traditional data-driven approaches to decision-making. Transfer learning provides an opportunity to start the early-stage analysis of the asset before adequate data becomes available. Here, we present a transfer learning framework that allows the basin-wide assessment of new shale gas and tight oil prospects. The proposed method is developed on real-world data from several thousand horizontal hydraulically fractured wells in the Eagle Ford super-basin in South Texas. A novel aspect of our method is integrating reservoir engineering domain expertise and the relationship among geologic and petrophysical variables, drilling and completion parameters, and well productivity in the data pre-processing and feature generation steps. We consider the temporal and spatial balancing of the training data to ensure that the resulting predictive models honor the real-world practices followed during unconventional field development. Our full-cycle transfer learning workflow consists of dimensionality reduction and unsupervised clustering, supervised learning, and hyperparameter fine-tuning. We test the workflow by examining the performance of a data-driven model of the Eagle Ford Basin on potential plays in the Middle East: Tuwaiq Mountain and Hanifa. The existence of multiple types of hydrocarbons–liquid oil, condensate, and dry gas–in the Eagle Ford results in a model flexible enough to be tested on various types of assets in a new location. We address the challenge of model overfitting by using data types with a relatively low resolution, which allows generalization to different geologies with basin-wide accuracy.

Big data analysis of the effectiveness for capital asset pricing model under COVID-19

In 2020, the novel coronavirus outbreak in China and rapidly spread around the world, causing a great impact on the economies of all countries, but also brought great uncertainty to the global financial market. The epidemic may not only trigger a crisis of supply, investment and supply chain disruption, but also further spread to the financial market, exacerbating systemic risks in the financial market and having a certain impact on the pricing of various types of assets. On this basis, this study conducts an empirical study on stock pricing under the influence of COVID-19 based on capital asset pricing model model to explore its effectiveness. To be specific, this paper selected two representative stocks from five different industries, namely medical care, catering, agriculture, tourism, and automobile, and used their returns from 2015 to 2019 for regression analysis, so as to predict the returns during the epidemic period and judge the effectiveness of the capm model during the epidemic period. These results shed light on guiding further exploration of assets pricing model.

Analisis Penerapan PSAK 16 tentang Perlakuan Akuntansi Aset Tetap pada Perusahaan di Indonesia

The company plays an important role for its main goal, namely the achievement of maximum profit on the investment invested. The company must be able to manage and utilize economic resources that have been invested properly, one form of company investment is in the form of assets as used to support company operations. Every company must have fixed assets, because the role of fixed assets is very large in the company. Of the various types of assets, fixed assets are one of the important assets that support the company's operations. In terms of maximizing the use of fixed assets, a correct and appropriate policy is needed in the management of the company's fixed assets. Therefore, when making decisions, the right information tools are needed about fixed assets, one of which is based on PSAK 16. This study aims to determine the application of PSAK 16 on the accounting treatment of fixed assets in companies in Indonesia. The method used in the research is descriptive qualitative with a literature review approach. The data source used is secondary data that has been analyzed and developed in order to elaborate the research topic. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of fixed assets in companies in Indonesia have generally been in accordance with PSAK No. 16.

Adaptive vulnerability-based risk identification software with virtualization functions for dynamic management

Over the years, risk management has become increasingly important for all companies, varying from large, medium-sized to micro-enterprises. The growing increase in cyber threats and the costs they cause has forced companies to consider new types of risks. This problem mainly affects medium, small, and micro-enterprises because of their limited resources or because they do not have sufficient technological knowledge. For this reason, this article studies different frameworks associated with risk management in different business areas. In addition, an open-source, automatic (plug and play) solution is proposed, which uses few resources thanks to virtualization through containerization. It takes care of identifying wired and wireless network devices. It generates a risk report with qualitative and quantitative values by reassessing the risk over time and provides mitigation if possible. Finally, a proof of concept was generated using a simulation of a medium-sized enterprise with various types of assets. As a result, we explored over 20 business days how network devices were detected and assessed without interacting with the framework, except to collect the results. It also showed how the risks evolve and increases if not addressed by the organization.

Reform of Corruption Criminal Law: a Study of Corruptor Asset Application Law in Indonesia

The development of a new criminal law system in Indonesia still aims to reveal the crimes committed, find the perpetrators, and punish them with criminal sanctions, especially "corporate punishment", which includes imprisonment and the death penalty. Meanwhile, the issue of international law development, such as the issue of confiscation of proceeds of crime and tools of crime2, has not become an important component in the Indonesian criminal law system. The purpose of this study is to determine the extent to which the reform of corruption criminal law can be carried out, especially in terms of asset forfeiture of corruptors. The research method used is normative research with a legal approach and conceptual approach. The reform of corruption criminal law must provide a clear definition of asset forfeiture of corruptors. The definition must include various types of assets, both tangible and intangible, which are illegally obtained through acts of corruption. The research method used is normative research with a legal approach and conceptual approach. The results of the discussion show that the reform of corruption criminal law regarding the seizure of corrupt assets can strengthen corruption eradication efforts and improve the existing seizure mechanism. The legal reforms carried out include Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Corruption (PTPK Law); Law Number 8 of 2010 concerning Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering Crimes (TPPU Law); Presidential Instruction Number 3 of 2018 concerning Increasing the Role and Optimizing Community Participation in Corruption Eradication; Government Regulation Number 13 of 2021 concerning Procedures for Forfeiture of Corruption Proceeds.

Building Financial Capability and Assets to Reduce Poverty and Health Disparities: Race/Ethnicity Matters.

Evidence has documented racial wealth inequity as one of the key pathways linking structural racism and racial health inequity. Most prior studies on the wealth-health relationship use net worth as the measure of wealth. This approach provides little evidence on the most effective interventions as various types of assets and debt affect health differently. This paper examines how U.S. young adults' wealth components (e.g., financial assets, nonfinancial assets, secured debt, and unsecured debt) are associated with physical and mental health, and if the associations differ by race/ethnicity. Data were drawn from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997. Health outcomes were measured by mental health inventory and self-rated health. Logistic regressions and ordinary least square regressions were used to assess the association between wealth components and physical and mental health. I found that financial assets and secured debt were positively associated with self-rated health and mental health. Unsecured debt was negatively associated with mental health only. The positive associations between financial assets and health outcomes were significantly weaker for non-Hispanic Black respondents. Unsecured debt was protective of self-rated health for non-Hispanic Whites only. For Black young adults, unsecured debt had more severe negative health consequences compared to other racial/ethnic groups. This study provides a nuanced understanding of the complex relationship among race/ethnicity, wealth components, and health. Findings could inform asset building and financial capability policies and programs to effectively reduce racialized poverty and health disparities.

Accounting and control of current assets of dairy cattle breeding in individual agricultural organizations includes the collection of information on the state and safety of various types of assets, such as cash and cash equivalents, receivables, inventory, other short-term assets, and an assessment of the effectiveness of their use in the agricultural industry. To improve the procedures for summarizing information on the current assets of dairy cattle breeding, it is advisable to use the Internal Control Working Document (hereinafter referred to as the ICWD) “The program for internal control of the movement and efficiency of the use of current assets of dairy cattle breeding”. This document is used to test the accounting system for current assets of dairy cattle and evaluate internal controls and the effectiveness of their use. For internal control of current assets at each stage of transformation, the ICWD “Checking the correctness of the assessment of current assets of dairy cattle breeding by stages of transformation” is used. During the verification process, the controller, using this document, can, at each stage of the transformation of current assets of dairy cattle breeding, give a timely and accurate assessment of these assets, which allows a more accurate idea of the actual availability of assets and their value at a certain point in time. To improve the efficiency of the internal control system, the “Regulation on Internal Control of Current Assets” can be used. The regulation regulates the accounting and internal control of current assets of dairy cattle breeding, the forms of the ICWD will help the management personnel to receive information on the value of assets in a timely manner at any stage of the production process and evaluate the effectiveness of their use. These internal control documents will allow at all stages of the transformation of current assets of dairy cattle breeding to control the movement, the correctness of the assessment and the efficiency of the use of these assets. Based on the results of the audit, summarized in the developed working documents of internal control, the management of the enterprise can make management decisions to improve the efficiency of the use of current assets of dairy cattle breeding.

Examining contagion effects between global crude oil prices and the Southeast Asian stock markets during the COVID-19 pandemic

Many previous studies identify the contagion effect among various types of assets, defined as the increase in correlation of these assets during a financial or economic crisis. During the COVID-19 outbreak, a historic fall in global fuel demand and oil prices has been witnessed. Because crude oil has a strategic position among the export products of the Southeast Asian economies, even a tiny global oil price change leads to a plunge in these stock markets. This study addresses the spillovers of the volatility between the West Texas Intermediate crude oil prices and stock indices across six ASEAN emerging economies. Besides, the study examines whether a contagion connecting the global energy prices and these stock markets exists during the coronavirus pandemic. The empirical results are acquired by applying the Bayesian test for equality of means on the dynamic conditional correlations computed from DCC-GARCH models. The findings present positive volatility transmission from crude oil prices toward these emerging equity markets. During the health crisis, co-movements intensify, indicating the occurrence of contagion effects. The empirical results provide valid implications for policymakers and international investors because a precise volatility forecast is vital for managing portfolio risk.

The essence of production stocks, accounting problems and directions for its improvement at the enterprise

Production stocks are the subject of labor, which, together with the means of labor, provide the production process of the enterprise where they are used. This topic is relevant, because in the conditions of a market economy, production stocks are an important element of the activity of any enterprise, therefore, their appropriate use in production becomes important. All this leads to the need to study the modern features of the organization of inventory accounting at enterprises in order to achieve more effective results. The paper substantiates the theoretical and methodological aspects of accounting for production stocks at enterprises, examines their economic essence and the main regulatory documents regulating the order of their display in accounting. The importance of effective use of materials in production and proposed actions contributing to the improvement and increase in the efficiency of accounting for production stocks are outlined. The problems that arise with the existing procedure for keeping records of production stocks at the enterprise, which are related to ensuring the efficiency of the enterprise's financial and economic activities, are identified. Such problems as: insufficient automation of the primary accounting of production stocks or the problem of determining the valuation of stocks on the balance sheet date. The following actions were proposed to solve these and other problems in order to improve the quality of accounting at the enterprise: the creation of a nationwide database regarding average market prices for various types of assets; carrying out an internal inspection at the enterprise with the involvement of qualified specialists; the use of automation of calculations for planning, accounting and analysis of the use of material resources. Also, improvements were proposed regarding inventory accounting, which will increase their efficiency and effectiveness of their use at the enterprise. It can be concluded that the improvements mentioned above will increase the efficiency of inventory accounting at the enterprise and improve its effectiveness in financial and economic activity.

Decentralizing Finance via Cryptocurrencies and Tokenization of Assets and Peer-to-Peer Platforms

The rationale behind this research is to demonstrate the tokenization effects of the blockchain on all types of assets, and how blockchain technology might improve the way we view digital exchange and use digital money. The finance industry is progressing towards innovative solutions, capable of dealing with traditional problems and of increasing efficiency, sustainability and accountability. This progression may also address market failures within the economy.
 In our conceptual chapter, we provide a short discussion of the decentralization of finance and where we are today. We begin with the fundamentals of money and the evolution of cryptocurrency issuance from ICOs to STOs then to stablecoins like CBDCs. We then examine the concept of tokenizing various types of assets and deliberate on a conceptualization of a tokenized capital markets trading platform. To clarify tokenization and its benefits, we provide an example on the tokenization concept for agriculture and livestock in raising capital for small farms. Finally, we conclude discussions on concerns for privacy and security which emphasizes on self-governance, self-regulation and cybersecurity measures.

Optimization of the Investment Portfolio in the Environment of Table Processor MS Excel

This topic's study is due to modern challenges to ensure sustainable development in a volatile market environment. It is especially so for those who want to invest money to generate additional income, taking into account financial risks. For this, it is necessary to increase the level of use of information computer technologies to minimize financial risks. The work's practical significance is based on the analysis of mathematical models used in the formation of investment portfolios. For the first time, a comparative study of investment portfolios containing various types of assets in the Ukrainian economy (particularly cryptocurrency) was carried out, and their residual risks were analyzed. Optimal investment portfolios for direct and inverse problems have been formed. For the optimal use of savings and consideration of factors affecting the adoption of final investment decisions, the necessity of applying modern mathematical models and the capabilities of information computer technologies has been substantiated. Applied solutions are associated with processing a large amount of information, including in tabular form. Also, a significant part of these tasks is associated with optimization, and therefore the use of information technology is essential. One of these programs is a universal MS Excel, which can handle the tabular data and optimize both linear and nonlinear problems with the «Solver» and analyzed by the «Sensitivity» tool. Table processor MS Excel allowed processing tabular data using mathematical and statistical functions for working with matrices. For ease of use of the table processor features, a program was created in the VBA environment to install and select the parameters of the optimization models. The investment portfolio's optimal structures were calculated from the considered assets, which provide the maximum possible profitability at a given risk level (direct problem) or the lowest potential risk at given profitability (inverse problem). As a result, the investment portfolio's direct and inverse optimization problems were solved using the quasi-Sharpe model. All this allows the spreadsheet processor to be widely used both by professionals.

Digitalization of the Financial Activities of Platform Companies: Competitive Potential and social Impact

The aim of the article is to define the characteristics of platform companies and their digital platforms as new mechanisms of competition and social transformation in the global economy. The relevance of the article is due to the demand for theexperience of foreign platform companies as the main business models for the competitive development of the economy. The authors apply methods such as theoretical analysis of scientific publications (analysis, synthesis, generalization); deduction as a procedure for the transition from the general to the particular; analysis of the structure of the influence of platform companies on the strategies of competition, highlighting the differences between the platform and linear business models; determining the influence of platform companies on competition among offline partners; identification of competition between platform companies and within them; highlighting aspects of the social impact of the functioning of platforms and platform companies. The study is based on the works of domestic and foreign authors devoted to the analysis of the development of platform companies and the assessment of the social impact of these processes, as well as the interaction between the authors and developers of digital platforms. The scientific novelty of the article is provided by the analysis of a wide range of competition tools, which favorably distinguish the platform approach to modern business from the linear one. The results of the analysis make it possible to form a model of the competition ecosystem in the platform economy. The authors conclude that the basis of the competitive success of platform companies is their ability to expand the scale of activities (as a result of optimizing various types of assets), to minimize costs by involving external users in the process of creating added value, and cross-platform cooperation. The authors recommend that Russian business entities use the experience of foreign platform companies to gain competitive advantages not only in the Russian IT sector but also outside of it. Particularly important are: decentralization of quality control procedures, creation of new sales markets, collection, and processing of large amounts of data, development of strategies for entering markets as suppliers and contractors, diversification of activities at the stage of attracting investments, a social construction.

Optimal Selection of Portfolio in Nigerian Stock Exchange using Dynamic Programming

Investment in various types of assets is an exciting choice of most successful business entrepreneurs. Investors have no option than to make a holistic decision regarding the position of their wealth within the context of the portfolio. In this paper, a Dynamic Programming (DP) algorithm and Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) were used to determine the optimal returns of investments and the risks involved. Also, the correlation between expected returns and risk of investments were analyzed. Data of four securities were collected from the Nigeria Stock Exchange, Yola, for the sample period of 2016. Dynamic programming was found to be a more efficient algorithm for determining how much to invest in each investment portfolio. Through the analysis of the investments, OANDO PLC and Nigeria Breweries were respectively selected with high optimal returns of N426000. That is, investing N5 million in OANDO PLC yields a return of N269000 and N4 million in Nigeria Breweries yields N160000. One observation about these investments is that they all have a high risk of investment.

The Development of Service Desk Application (SDA) as a Media to Improve Care Services and Asset Improvement in the University

An asset is a wealth. Assets at universities in the form of facilities and infrastructure are used as learning media. To ensure the assets are in good condition, assets must be managed properly. Universities is an entity that has various types of assets and distributed in various work units. Maintenance technicians have the task of carrying out maintenance and repair of assets. Care and repair history must be recorded. Requests for repairing damaged assets or having problems must be dealt with quickly. However, some universities are still implementing conventional systems. The purpose of this study is to develop Service Desk Application (SDA) as medium to improve maintenance and repair services for campus assets quickly and precisely. SDA is a centralized service application that is used to handle repair requests from customers. The results showed that SDA can monitor the status and progress of asset maintenance and control the performance of technicians so that they can complete work quickly and according to procedures, SDA serves as a useful knowledge-based management to enrich knowledge so that if there are problems with similar assets, then the solution to the problem can be immediately known.

Narrow Banking from the Perspective of Risk

The aim of this article is to identify risks arising from the attempt to stabilise the banking system with the use of narrow banking, which in practice means imposing restrictions on various types of assets held by banks and on handling current deposits. To this end, the following will be discussed: the nature and concepts of narrow banking and the risks of narrow banking. The research hypothesis is as follows: narrow banking is an effective concept to use to secure the stability of the financial system. The principal risk connected with the implementation of the concept of narrow banking results from: the cost of deposit insurance, partial loss of banks’ efficiency, mismatching of structures of assets and liabilities of the bank (resulting in GAP), as well as the size and structure of loans for the non‑financial sector. As a result of the conducted analysis, 6 indirect risks were identified, each for the assumed risk level: low, medium and high.

Understanding the accelerator from resources-based perspective

Purpose This study aims to explore Accelerators and their practices in sustaining start-ups within their innovative programs for these companies based on the resource-based perspective. Moreover, with an ever-increasing demand for Accelerators amongst start-up companies, this study also demonstrates the importance of Accelerators, as it pertains to new venture creation. Design/methodology/approach This research uses an exploratory case study approach to examine a comparative view of leading Accelerator companies in the USA and Korea based on resource support. Findings The results of this study show that there are a number of differences between Accelerators of the two countries in terms of the resources they support for early-stage start-ups. The findings also show some similarities. However, in Korea, the Accelerator landscape is limited, where mentorship, resources and investments are not readily accessible, resulting in low success rates for Korean start-up companies. These limitations have had a negative trickle-down effect when providing entrepreneurs with strong access to resources and investors, which highly affects the success rates of early-stage start-ups. Practical implications In terms of the resource-based theory, this study contributes to the growth of early start-ups by emphasizing the role of the accelerator and suggesting the extent and impact that entrepreneurs have access to resources and investors. Originality/value With significant growth in start-ups around the world, the necessity for start-up funding and mentorship has increased drastically. Start-up companies need various types of assets, systems, knowledge and information to achieve their goals. In Accelerators, start-ups receive all the aforementioned resources while also improving their entrepreneurial skills. Start-up companies have many options in seeking investors who support both tangible and intangible resources to boost growth. While there is a wealth of information on traditional funding methods, there are few studies that shed light on the role of Accelerators from the resource-based point of view.

Korean Abstract: 본 연구는 은퇴가구의 경제상태 만족도와 은퇴생활 만족도에 대해 재무적, 비재무적 요인에 따른 차이와 영향요인을 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 국민연금연구원의 국민노후보장패널조사 5차년도(2013년) 자료를 활용하였으며, 동거하는 여타가구원이 없는 1인 또는 2인 은퇴가구만을 연구대상으로 하였다. 주요 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 은퇴가구는 자산 중 부동산의 비율이 87.0%에 이르는 부동산 집중형 자산구조를 가지고 있었고, 소득의 경우 이전소득의 비중이 66.1% (공적이전소득 42.3%, 사적이전소득 23.8%)를 보였다. 둘째, 가구주가 여자인 경우보다 남자인 경우가, 배우자가 있는 경우가, 교육수준이 높을수록, 자가거주인 경우가 경제상태와 은퇴생활 만족도가 높았다. 셋째, 자산의 종류와 상관없이 자산을 보유한 가구가, 자산규모가 클수록 경제상태 만족도와 은퇴생활 만족도가 높았고, 소득의 경우에는 자산소득 보유가구가 미보유가구보다 경제상태 만족도와 은퇴생활 만족도가 높았으나, 공적이전 소득의 경우에는 미보유가구의 만족도가 높았다. 다만 소득규모를 상중하로 나누어 분석하였을 때 대부분 소득상위 집단의 만족도가 높게 나타났다. 다른 요인의 영향력을 통제한 상태에서의 각 변수들의 영향력을 살펴보면, 공적이전소득(β=.206)이 경제상태 만족도에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 자산소득 보유여부, 금융자산, 부동산자산의 순이었다. 은퇴생활 만족도에 미치는 영향요인으로는 공적이전소득(β=.073)이 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 자산소득, 부동산자산 순으로 나타났다. 분석에 포함한 비재무적 요인 변수 모두가 은퇴생활 만족도에 유의한 영향을 미쳤는데, 여가활동 만족도(β=.401)가 은퇴생활 만족도에 월등히 높은 영향력을 보였고, 다음으로 경제상태 만족도(β=.220), 건강상태 만족도(β=.155), 친구관계 만족도(β=.093), 가족관계 만족도(β=.079)의 순이었다. Korean Abstract: This study investigated financial status and life satisfaction of retired households and the factors on those. The sample included single retired and coupled retired households with no family member living with. For this, 2013 Survey of Korean Retirement and Income Study (KReIS) conducted by National Pension Research Institute was used. Various types of assets, income, expenditures were considered as financial status variables. Also some satisfaction variables were used as possible factors on life satisfaction of retired households. The main results were summarized as follows: 1) In retired-households, real estate property was a major part of total household assets(87.0%). Transfer income was almost 2/3 of total income. 42.4% of transfer income was from public side and 23.8% from private side. 2) Male-headed households had higher life satisfaction than female-headed households. Coupled households had higher than single households. Households with higher educated households were more satisfied with their life than others. Retirees living in their own home were also more likely to have higher life satisfaction than others. (3) The households with more assets on various types of assets tended to have more satisfaction on both economic status and life, and the households having real asset income and money income did to have more on both. On the other hand, the households with less transfer income appeared to have higher life satisfaction than others, which might be interpreted as poor households tended to be more dependent on transfer income. The life satisfaction of upper income group was generally higher than that of lower income groups. (4) With other factors to be constant, public transfer income had the biggest influence on economic satisfaction followed by income from property, real estate/total asset, real estate. Life satisfaction of retired households was associated with public transfer income, income from property, and real estate. Also Satisfactions with family relationship, friendship, leisure activities, and health were found to be crucial factors on life satisfaction.
