In the literature on conflict and HIV/AIDS, African men are often presented in simplistic and explicitly negative terms. It is generally taken for granted that those who use weapons are men whilst those who suffer the consequences of conflict are women, and that men always hold power in sexual relationships whilst women are always powerless. Certainly, African women and girls have been made vulnerable by the behaviour of men and boys in conflict settings and in sexual relationships. Yet the fact that gender hierarchies also oppress some men is seldom discussed. What of...

In the framework of Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing models, by employing exotic options instead of plain options or warrants, this paper presents an equivalent decomposition method for the Callable Convertible Bonds (CCB). Furthermore, the analytic valuation formulae for CCB are obtained by using the analytic formulae for those simpler securities decomposed from CCB. This method is validated by comparing with Monte Carlo simulation. Besides, the effects of call clauses, coupon clauses, soft call condition clauses and dividend payment are analyzed respectively.

In contrast to the ‘pure’ art of former centuries, it affords modern artworks a social function for the masses....

The difference between investee earnings and investee dividends is the amount of earnings accruing to the investor that the investee retained, or the unremitted earnings of the investee. Thus, the equity-based investment account is equal to the original investment plus the investor’s proportionate share of the investee’s cumulative retained earnings since the invest- ment was made. In this sense, the equity method represents an extension of accrual account- ing to investments in common shares. However, the balance sheet doesn’t reflect the cost of the investment anymore.

Advocacy efforts recognize that, in order to build support for family planning and other reproductive health, a variety of different audiences and approaches must be used. To increase men’s participation in reproductive health, advocacy activities can be used to address a variety of legislative, institutional, religious, and cultural barriers. At the commu- nity level, opinion leaders and religious leaders often have negative perceptions of family planning.

Hermanson and Citro conclude that between 1989 and 1995, noteworthy progress had been made in the housing conditions of older persons. Furthermore, the increase in the number of older households headed by persons aged 75 and older occurred entirely among owners, indicating that the elderly had been able to increasingly age in place. Housing quality for the elderly remains relatively high. The authors, however, conclude that some problems yet remain.

Term and termination The normal term of a project will begin with the signing of a written agreement and end with the client’s acceptance of your completed services. If something happens in the meantime to make cancellation necessary, the agreement must describe in advance the process for doing that, from notifi cation through calculation of your fi nal invoice. That fi nal billing might cover time and materials for actual services performed through the date of cancellation, or it might be a lump-sum cancellation fee, or perhaps a combination of the two.

The last few months have seen continuing volatility in Britain’s economic data. After a fall of 0.5% in the fourth quarter of last year, GDP has risen by the same amount in the first quarter of this year. So over the two quarters taken together there has been no economic growth – an outcome weaker than many people, including me, had expected two or three months ago, but nevertheless one which has not fulfilled fears of a new contraction. The inflation rate moved sharply higher in January, under the influence of the increase in VAT. And...

Unfortunately, allowing the sales force to follow their own model creates a considerable disparity of which model is working best. Let’s examine some of the models that have been developed along the way and that sales trainers have been delivering. Which ones are you using?
