The Cost

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to analyse the financial consequences of the level of human capital (HC) information disclosed by firms through integrated reports. Specifically, this work examines the effect of HC information on the cost of capital and firm value.Design/methodology/approachA manual content analysis is used to measure the level of HC information contained in integrated reports. A fixed-effects regression model is used to analyse 375 observations (a balanced panel of 125 firms for the period 2017–2019) and test the financial consequences of HC disclosure.FindingsThe empirical outcomes indicate that HC disclosure has a significant and negative effect on the cost of capital and a positive impact on firm value. Our results show that companies can reduce investors' perceived firm risk by improving HC disclosure, leading to a lower cost of capital. Moreover, our findings support the notion that increased levels of HC disclosure are linked to firms' improved access to external financial resources, consequently enhancing firm value.Originality/valueThis study is the first contribution to examine the financial consequences of HC disclosure and is one of the first to examine the level of HC information within integrated reports.

The aim of this study was to assess the costs and financial consequences of epidemiological changes in hypertension in México. The cost evaluation method to estimate costs was based on instrumentation techniques. To estimate the epidemiological changes and expected cases of hypertension in 2010-2012, three probabilistic models were constructed according to the Box-Jenkins technique. Comparing the economic impact, from 2010 to 2012 there will be a 24% increase in financial requirements (p < 0.05). The total cost of hypertension in 2011 will be US$ 5,733,350,291, including US$ 2,718,280,941 in direct costs and US$ 3,015,069,350 in indirect costs. If the risk factors and various healthcare models remain unaltered in the institutions analyzed here, the financial consequences will have a major impact on users' pockets, followed by social security providers and public healthcare providers. The authors suggest a revision in the planning, organization, and allocation of resources, particularly programs for health promotion and prevention of hypertension.

Conscious Attention

This chapter will discuss problems arising from employee use of the Internet for personal pursuits during paid working hours. Since there are both financial and non-financial consequences of such behavior (Friedman, 2000), it is worthwhile to evaluate existing attempts to deal with this problem and suggest some new ones. Nevertheless, virtual absenteeism is not a totally negative phenomenon; hence, one needs to give a fair hearing to the claims of the employees engaged in this activity. It is not necessarily an economic loss to the employer when employees take care of private matters or even play on the Internet, if it is within reason and results in a refreshed approach to the job at hand. Still, if the employee is excessively occupied with non-business Internet activity, there is no doubt a corresponding decrease in the amount of conscious attention given to the processing of organizational concerns. Moreover, ethical issues emerge concerning the misuse of time, avoidance of responsibility and violation of employee-employer contracts, implicit or explicit. Since the employer is defraying the cost of both the hardware and software involved, Internet misuse results in expenses far exceeding losses from such minor trespasses as personal telephone calls and company stationery misappropriated for personal reasons. Further, diversionary materials such as magazines and games brought to the workplace by employees which were paid out of their own pockets, while clearly resulting in lost time for the employer, at least did not require highly sophisticated and expensive technology to support the diversions. Finally, it is necessary to show that the sheer scale of modern slacking requires very special measures that consider not only financial, but legal, social, moral and psychological ramifications as well.

The article stipulates that machine-building enterprises in a market economy in the process of carrying out any business operations must take into account the fact of the probability of negative developments and their financial consequences. In order to avoid the global consequences of the manifestation of risks, companies must have a system for diagnosing the level of sustainability of development, taking into account the impact of target risk parameters and innovative support to prevent significant financial losses. The proposed algorithm of the methodological approach to determine the impact of target risk parameters on the level of innovative support for sustainable development of machine-building enterprises allows to take into account both the requirement to maximize the expected total income and the requirement to minimize variance, ie lower risk than expected. It is concluded that the algorithm makes it possible to identify and identify risks, ie to determine the portfolio of risks and the impact of innovation on their level and vice versa, which accompanies the implementation of appropriate management decisions and delineation of their scope. One of the components of the formation of mechanisms for diagnosing the level of innovative support for sustainable development of machine-building enterprises is risk management. The importance of this component increases with the increase in the cost of covering or compensating for the risks faced by machine-building enterprises. Evaluation of the results and adjustment of selected methods occurs after the implementation of these methods directly into the work of the enterprise. This stage is crucial because it allows to draw conclusions about the methods that have been used to neutralize or reduce risks, namely: whether they sufficiently protect the machine-building enterprise from potential threats, determine the level of reliability of certain methods and areas for improvement and adjustment. selected methods of diagnostics of the level of sustainable development of machine-building enterprises taking into account the target parameters of risk and innovation.

The Cost

This preliminary study attempted to assess the feasibility of comparing the comprehensive societal costs of various correctional alternative decisions and to determine whether the results may be more informative in policy decisions than the limited cost information presently used. The financial consequences, including costs of government services and other costs imposed on society attributable to a sample of convicted burglars were derived for a two-year period. The median monthly costs of incarceration and community corrections were approximately equal because new crimes were a major component of the cost of community corrections. Similarly, the mean monthly cost of community corrections was more than twice that of incarceration. On this basis, it appears that incarcerating all burglars presently in community corrections (assuming the cells were available) would either reduce crime at no additional cost or save money. Incarcerating only those who were more expensive in the community than in prison would be an even greater savings. Further work is needed to validate these preliminary findings.

IBM PC compatible computers are widely used in microscopy for applications ranging from control to image acquisition and analysis. The choice of IBM-PC based systems over competing computer platforms can be based on technical merit alone or on a number of factors relating to economics, availability of peripherals, management dictum, or simple personal preference.IBM-PC got a strong “head start” by first dominating clerical, document processing and financial applications. The use of these computers spilled into the laboratory where the DOS based IBM-PC replaced mini-computers. Compared to minicomputer, the PC provided a more for cost-effective platform for applications in numerical analysis, engineering and design, instrument control, image acquisition and image processing. In addition, the sitewide use of a common PC platform could reduce the cost of training and support services relative to cases where many different computer platforms were used. This could be especially true for the microscopists who must use computers in both the laboratory and the office.

Acceleration Voltage

The imaging performance of the light optical lens systems has reached such a degree of perfection that nowadays numerical apertures of about 1 can be utilized. Compared to this state of development the objective lenses of electron microscopes are rather poor allowing at most usable apertures somewhat smaller than 10-2 . This severe shortcoming is due to the unavoidable axial chromatic and spherical aberration of rotationally symmetric electron lenses employed so far in all electron microscopes.The resolution of such electron microscopes can only be improved by increasing the accelerating voltage which shortens the electron wave length. Unfortunately, this procedure is rather ineffective because the achievable gain in resolution is only proportional to λ1/4 for a fixed magnetic field strength determined by the magnetic saturation of the pole pieces. Moreover, increasing the acceleration voltage results in deleterious knock-on processes and in extreme difficulties to stabilize the high voltage. Last not least the cost increase exponentially with voltage.
