Monetary Policy in Sub-Saharan Africa - - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Monetary Policy in Sub-Saharan Africa - - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Low-income countries in sub-Saharan Africa present unique monetary policy challenges, from the high share of volatile food in consumption to underdeveloped financial markets; however most academic and policy work on monetary policy is aimed at much richer countries. Can economic models and methods invented for rich countries even be adapted and applied here? How does and should monetary policy work in sub-Saharan African? Monetary Policy in Sub-Saharan Africa answers these questions and provides practical tools and policy guidance to respond to the complex challenges of this region.Most countries in sub-Saharan Africa have made great progress in stabilizing inflation over the past two decades. As they have achieved a degree of basic macroeconomic stability, policymakers are looking to avoid policy misalignments and respond appropriately to shocks in order to achieve stability and growth. Officially, they often have adopted "money targeting" frameworks, a regime that has long disappeared from almost all advanced and even emerging-market discussions. In practice, though, they are in many cases finding current regimes lacking, with opaque and sometimes inconsistent objectives, inadequate transmission of policy to the economy, and difficulties in responding to supply shocks. Monetary Policy in Sub-Saharan Africa takes a new approach by applying dynamic general equilibrium models suitably adapted to reflect key features of low-income countries for the analysis of monetary policy in sub-Saharan African countries.Using a progressive approach derived from the International Monetary Fund''s extensive practice and research, Monetary Policy in Sub-Saharan Africa seeks to address what we know about the empirics of monetary transmission in low-income countries, how monetary policy can work in countries characterized by underdeveloped financial markets and opaque policy regimes, and how we can use empirical and theoretical methods largely derived in advanced countries to answer these questions. It then uses these key topics to guide policymakers as they attempt to adjust food price, terms of trade, aid shocks, and the effects of the global financial crisis.

Sub-Contracts DOM/1 and DOM/2 - D. Riding - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Sub-Contracts DOM/1 and DOM/2 - D. Riding - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Much construction work is done by sub-contractors, particularly the so-called domestic sub-contractors, appointed by the main contractor. The former usually work under the standard sub-contract DOM/1 for use with JCT 80, or DOM/2 for use with JCT 81--where there is contract design. Unfortunately, many sub-contractors'' rights are often abused because they have little or no understanding of their rights and obligations under the new contracts. Written by an experienced quantity surveyor, this new book provides a clause-by-clause summary of these important principles.

Sub-Independence - G. G. Hamedani - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Sub-Independence - G. G. Hamedani - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

The concept of sub-independence is defined in terms of the convolution of the distributions of random variables, providing a stronger sense of dissociation between random variables than that of uncorrelatedness. If statistical tests reject independence but not lack of correlation, a model with sub-independent components can be appropriate to determine the distribution of the sum of the random variables. This monograph presents most of the important classical results in probability and statistics based on the concept of sub-independence. This concept is much weaker than that of independence and yet can replace independence in most limit theorems as well as well-known results in probability and statistics. This monograph, the first of its kind on the concept of sub-independence, should appeal to researchers in applied sciences where the lack of independence of the uncorrelated random variables may be apparent but the distribution of their sum may not be tractable.

Aging with HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Aging with HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

With the development of effective antiretroviral therapies (ART) in the mid-1990s, HIV became a treatable although serious condition, and people who are adherent to HIV medications can attain normal or near-normal life expectancies. Because of the success of ART, people 50 and older now make up a majority of people with HIV in high-income countries and other places where ART is accessible. The aging of the HIV epidemic is a global trend that is also being observed in low- and middle-income countries, including countries in sub-Saharan Africa, where the greatest number of older people with HIV reside (3.7 million). While globally over half of older adults with HIV are in sub-Saharan Africa, we have little information about the circumstances, needs, and resiliencies of this population, which limits our ability to craft effective policy and programmatic responses to aging with HIV in this region. At present, our understanding of HIV and aging is dominated by information from theU.S. and Western Europe, where the epidemiology of HIV and the infrastructure to provide social care are markedly different than in sub-Saharan Africa. Aging with HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa addresses this gap in our knowledge by providing current research and perspectives on a range of health and psychosocial topics concerning these older adults from across this region. This volume provides a unique and timely overview of growing older with HIV in a sub-Saharan African context, covering such topics as epidemiology, health and functioning, and social support, as well as policy and program implications to support those growing older with HIV. There are very few published volumes that address HIV and aging, and this is the first book to consider HIV and aging in sub-Saharan Africa. Most publications in this area focus on HIV and aging in Uganda and South Africa. This volume broadens the scope with contributions from authors working in West Africa, Botswana, and Kenya. The range of topics covered here will be useful to professionals in a range of disciplines including psychology, epidemiology, gerontology, sociology, health care, public health, and social work.

Ultra-Low Input Power Conversion Circuits based on TFETs - Stanimir Valtchev - Bog - River Publishers - Plusbog.dk

Ultra-Low Input Power Conversion Circuits based on TFETs - Stanimir Valtchev - Bog - River Publishers - Plusbog.dk

The increasing demand in electronic portability imposes low power consumption as a key metric to analog and digital circuit design. Tunnel FET (TFET) devices have been explored mostly in digital circuits, showing promising results for ultra-low power and energy efficient circuit applications. The TFET presents a low inverse sub-threshold slope (SS) that allows a low leakage energy consumption, desirable in many digital circuits, especially memories.In this book, the TFET is explored as an alternative technology also for ultra-low power and voltage conversion and management circuits, suitable for weak energy harvesting (EH) sources. The TFET distinct electrical characteristics under reverse bias conditions require changes in conventional circuit topologies. In this book, ultra-low input power conversion circuits based on TFETs are designed and analyzed, evaluating their performance as rectifiers, charge pumps and power management circuits (PMC) for RF and DC EH sources.

The Hundred & The Hundred Rolls - Helen Cam - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Hundred & The Hundred Rolls - Helen Cam - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Originally published in 1930, this book outlines the system of local government at work in the reign of Edward I and provides a guide to the study of the 3 volumes of the Rotuli Hundredorum and Placita Quo Warranto which were printed early in the nineteenth century. The Hundreds were the districts of England into which every county was subdivided. They varied in size and shape but formed an indispensable part of the system of local government. For taxation, justice, police, law and military defence, the Hundred came into play. The Hundred Rolls were a complete statement as to the administration of the counties of England and the Hundred Rolls of 1274-75 are the starting point of this book. In interpreting them one can understand not only the England of Edward I, but the whole system of local government of the early Middle Ages in England.
