The application of IAS 39 reclassifications by global systemically important banks (G-SIBs) since 2008/2009
… how Global Systemically Important Banks (G-SIBs) applied the amendment to IAS 39 since 2008/2009. The study is guided by four main objectives in which the first two objectives explores how the G-SIBs applied the reclassifications during the allowed period, 2008/2009 and the period beyond …

Growing up with autism: Experiences of adult siblings
… diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD-sibs; N = 140) by comparing the self-report of ASD-sibs with reports from siblings who have a typically developing brother or sister (TD-sib; N = 342). In terms of relationship differences, ASD-sibs reported significantly more negative childhood …

Behaviour and Language Development in Infants at Risk for ASD: The Role of Early Attention Preferences and Early Language Development
… cohort of infant siblings of children with ASD (SIBS-A) and a low-risk cohort of infants siblings of typically developing children (SIBS-TD). Chapter 2 investigates whether biases to infant-directed (ID) speech and faces differ between SIBS-A and infant siblings of typically developing children …

An exploration of social impact bonds as a social development strategy. A South African case study
… financing solution, namely Social Impact Bonds (SIBs). This exploratory qualitative research employed multiple case studies and examined the design and implementation of the two pioneering SIBs in South Africa, the Impact Bond Innovation Fund (IBIF) and Bonds for Jobs (B4J). Data collection …

The Rhetoric and Realities of Social Impact Bonds
… explores the potential of social impact bonds (SIBs) as an instrument of collaborative governance. An SIB is an approach for broadening social programs, in a multi-faceted partnership among private investors, governments, and nonprofits. In this cross-sector partnership, private investors take …

Genomewide Selection in Apple: Prediction and Postdiction in the University of Minnesota Apple Breeding Program
… of the impact on predictive ability when full-sibs are included in the training data. This research finds that in general, a simple linear model is the most efficient choice for genomewide selection in apple unless major effect QTL are known, in which case including them as fixed effects may …

Empiric risk to first-degree relatives of Alzheimer disease patients
… relatives of AD cases as well as parents and sibs of AD cases showed higher cumulative risks throughout their lifetimes when compared to their analogous control subgroups. Equal cumulative lifetime risks between first-degree female and male relatives (28.97 ± 3.60%, 22.03 ±8.29%) and between …

Using Functional Communication Training to Reduce Self-Injurious Behavior for Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder
… requesting breaks from tasks as a replacement of SIBs.</p> <p>This study used a multiple probe across participants design to evaluate the effectiveness and maintenance of the results of FCT on decreasing SIB and increasing FCR for three participants with ASD. FCT produced significant reductions in …

Hatching synchrony and survival in early life in the painted turtle, Chrysemys picta
… embryos attempted to catch-up to more advanced sibs via a mechanism consistent with shortening the incubation period. In addition, a trade-off between hatching synchronously and performance was evident. In the second chapter, I experimentally assessed the influence of accelerated hatching on …

Novel Techniques and Electrolytes for Energy Storage Devices
Sodium ion batteries (SIBs) may offer a cheaper and more sustainable alternative to lithium batteries given the significantly higher natural abundance of sodium than lithium. The SIB electrolyte must transport ions efficiently to achieve good battery performance. Here, a range of new sodium borate …

Characterization of Hulled and Hulless Winter Barley, Hordeum vulgare L., Through Traditional Breeding and Molecular Techniques
… germplasm. Evaluation of hulled and hulless full-sibs from four populations indicated that grain volume weight and protein concentration were significantly (P d 0.05) higher for hulless genotypes, while seedling emergence and grain ash concentration were significantly (P d 0.05) higher for hulled …

A genetic analysis of reproduction in growth selected lines of chickens
… LW dwarfs matured 6 days later than their normal sibs. On a percentage hen-day basis, HW dwarfs produced fewer yolks but more normal eggs than their nondwarf sibs. This supports the hypothesis that dw has a synchronizing effect on ovarian and oviducal functions in populations with excess yolk …
