Sistemas de Informação WEB para gestão de stock

Este projecto consiste no desenvolvimento de um Sistema de Informação Web para Gestão de Stock e que funciona também em um ambiente sem internet. O mesmo faz a entrada de stock, venda, devolução de clientes, lança os produtos deteriorados, no fim de cada dia faz o fecho de caixa, resumo de vendas, resumo das entradas de stock, resumo dos produtos deteriorados, resumo de fecho de caixa, inventário, registo de funcionário, registo de fornecedor, registo de artigo, backup periodicamente e disponibilizando ao gerente informações rápidas sobre seu stock e estatísticas de vendas. Com o sistema em funcionamento pretende-se garantir transações rápidas e eficientes entre funcionários, clientes e o gerente. È muito importante dizer que o sistema tem um funcionamento muito simples e foi implementado a pensar nas micro e pequenas empresas, visto que é um sector que se encontra em pleno desenvolvimento em Cabo Verde e que nos dias de hoje é obrigatório ter um software de gestão para que o Ministério das Finanças possa ter maior controlo sobre os resultados das empresas. Para o desenvolvimento do sistema (Simple Gest), utilizei um servidor web (Apache), servidor de base de dados (MySQL), interpretadores para linguagem de script PHP fornecidos através da ferramenta XAMPP (servidor independente de plataforma), a linguagem de programação PHP para fazer a conecção entre o sistema e a base de dados, HTML para criar e apresentar as páginas na web, CSS para dar estilo as páginas através de um browser e UML para a modelação dos dados. Na análise do sistema foram identificados os requisitos funcionais e os requisitos não funcionais, foram desenvolvidos os casos de usos necessários, os diagramas de casos de uso, diagramas de sequência e o modelo entidade-relacionamento para demonstrar o fluxo de dados.

Is bank debt special for the transmission of monetary policy? Evidence from the stock market

We combine existing balance sheet and stock market data with two new datasets to studywhether, how much, and why bank lending to firms matters for the transmission of monetarypolicy. The first new dataset enables us to quantify the bank dependence of firms precisely,as the ratio of bank debt to total assets. We show that a two standard deviation increase inthe bank dependence of a firm makes its stock price about 25% more responsive to monetarypolicy shocks. We explore the channels through which this effect occurs, and find that thestock prices of bank-dependent firms that borrow from financially weaker banks display astronger sensitivity to monetary policy shocks. This finding is consistent with the banklending channel, a theory according to which the strength of bank balance sheets mattersfor monetary policy transmission. We construct a new database of hedging activities andshow that the stock prices of bank-dependent firms that hedge against interest rate riskdisplay a lower sensitivity to monetary policy shocks. This finding is consistent with aninterest rate pass-through channel that operates via the direct transmission of policy ratesto lending rates associated with the widespread use of floating-rates in bank loans and creditline agreements.

Modelo de control viable para el manejo sostenible del stock de anchoveta peruana (Engraulis ringens)

El manejo sostenible de pesquerías es todavía un problema abierto y la teoría de viabilidad ofrece una alternativa para determinar políticas de manejo de los recursos que garanticen la sostenibilidad, una vez definidas las restricciones que determinan los estados sostenibles del sistema. La dinámica poblacional de la anchoveta peruana se modeló usando un modelo estructurado por edades tipo Thomson–Bell con capturas discretas acoplado con el modelo de reclutamiento de Ricker, con pasos semestrales entre los años 1963–1984. Se definió además un conjunto deseable de estados sostenibles, asociado a los niveles del stock y capturas que satisfacen restricciones ecológicas, económicas y sociales previamente definidas. En base a esto se calculó el conjunto de los estados del stock para los que existe un sucesión de capturas que permiten mantenerlo en un estado sostenible (conjunto denominado núcleo de viabilidad) y una familia de conjuntos de capturas viables, que corresponden a todos los niveles de captura que se puedan aplicar sobre cada estado del stock de manera tal que éste se mantenga dentro del núcleo de viabilidad, es decir, permanezca en un estado sostenible. Se encontró una condición suficiente para la existencia de un núcleo de viabilidad no vacío: que la cuota social (captura mínima para mantener en funcionamiento la pesquería) sea menor a un desembarque de 915 800 t semestrales. Se comparó la serie histórica de capturas con las obtenidas a partir de la teoría de viabilidad para el periodo 1963 - 1984, encontrándose que hubo sobrepesca desde finales de 1968, lo que conllevó al colapso de la pesquería durante El Niño de 1972-1973. A partir de los resultados de viabilidad, se definieron 5 estrategias de manejo pesquero (E1–E5) para la anchoveta peruana, concluyéndose que la estrategia precautoria viable media (E5) hubiera podido evitar el colapso de la pesquería de anchoveta, manteniendo además niveles aceptables de pesca. Además, la estrategia precautoria del ICES (E2) no aseguró la sostenibilidad del stock durante los periodos El Niño. Además, se concluye que hubiera sido necesaria una veda de un año después del colapso de la pesquería para que el stock regresara al núcleo de viabilidad, posibilitando un manejo sostenible en adelante. La teoría de la viabilidad, con el núcleo de viabilidad y las capturas viables asociadas, resultaron ser herramientas útiles para el diseño de estrategias de manejo que aseguran la sostenibilidad de los recursos pesqueros.

Testing the bivariate distribution of daily equity returns using copulas: an application to the Spanish stock market

In this paper we deal with the identification of dependencies between time series of equity returns. Marginal distribution functions are assumed to be known, and a bivariate chi-square test of fit is applied in a fully parametric copula approach. Several families of copulas are fitted and compared with Spanish stock market data. The results show that the t-copula generally outperforms other dependence structures, and highlight the difficulty in adjusting a significant number of bivariate data series

Carbon stock and its compartments in a subtropical oxisol under long-term tillage and crop rotation systems

Soil organic matter (SOM) plays a crucial role in soil quality and can act as an atmospheric C-CO2 sink under conservationist management systems. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term effects (19 years) of tillage (CT-conventional tillage and NT-no tillage) and crop rotations (R0-monoculture system, R1-winter crop rotation, and R2- intensive crop rotation) on total, particulate and mineral-associated organic carbon (C) stocks of an originally degraded Red Oxisol in Cruz Alta, RS, Southern Brazil. The climate is humid subtropical Cfa 2a (Köppen classification), the mean annual precipitation 1,774 mm and mean annual temperature 19.2 ºC. The plots were divided into four segments, of which each was sampled in the layers 0-0.05, 0.05-0.10, 0.10-0.20, and 0.20-0.30 m. Sampling was performed manually by opening small trenches. The SOM pools were determined by physical fractionation. Soil C stocks had a linear relationship with annual crop C inputs, regardless of the tillage systems. Thus, soil disturbance had a minor effect on SOM turnover. In the 0-0.30 m layer, soil C sequestration ranged from 0 to 0.51 Mg ha-1 yr-1, using the CT R0 treatment as base-line; crop rotation systems had more influence on soil stock C than tillage systems. The mean C sequestration rate of the cropping systems was 0.13 Mg ha-1 yr-1 higher in NT than CT. This result was associated to the higher C input by crops due to the improvement in soil quality under long-term no-tillage. The particulate C fraction was a sensitive indicator of soil management quality, while mineral-associated organic C was the main pool of atmospheric C fixed in this clayey Oxisol. The C retention in this stable SOM fraction accounts for 81 and 89 % of total C sequestration in the treatments NT R1 and NT R2, respectively, in relation to the same cropping systems under CT. The highest C management index was observed in NT R2, confirming the capacity of this soil management practice to improve the soil C stock qualitatively in relation to CT R0. The results highlighted the diversification of crop rotation with cover crops as a crucial strategy for atmospheric C-CO2 sequestration and SOM quality improvement in highly weathered subtropical Oxisols.

The effects of monetary policy on stock market bubbles: Some evidence

We estimate the response of stock prices to exogenous monetary policy shocks usinga vector-autoregressive model with time-varying parameters. Our evidence points toprotracted episodes in which, after a a short-run decline, stock prices increase persistently in response to an exogenous tightening of monetary policy. That responseis clearly at odds with the "conventional" view on the effects of monetary policy onbubbles, as well as with the predictions of bubbleless models. We also argue that it isunlikely that such evidence be accounted for by an endogenous response of the equitypremium to the monetary policy shocks.

IFRS and Asymmetrical Information: Empirical Evidence from the Finnish Stock Markets

Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on selvittää kansainvälisiin tilinpäätösstandardeihin siirtymisen vaikutuksia epäsymmetriseen informaatioon Suomen osake-markkinoilla. Suomalaisten tilinpäätöskäytäntöjen ja kansainvälisten standardien eroja on selvitetty ensin laadullisin menetelmin,jonka jälkeen on tehty asymmetrisen informaation markkinapohjaisiin mittareihinperustuva kvantitatiivinen tutkimus. Yleisiin eroavaisuuksiin liittyvän selvityksen lisäksi on tutkittu erikseen erityisesti standardimuutoksen vaikutusta älylliseen pääomaan liittyvään informaation asymmetriaan. Empiirisessä osiossa älyllisen pääoman epäsuoraksi mitaksi on valittu kehitys- ja tutkimusmenojen suhde taseen loppusummaan. Kuten oletus oli, sekä laadullisen että empiirisen osion tulokset viittaavat siihen, että IFRS:n myötä informaatioympäristö on parantunut. Uudet standardit vaativat laajempaa ja tarkempaa informaation julkaisua liittyen älylliseen pääomaan, mikä ei ole kuitenkaan havaittavissa valituissa mittareissa
