The Investment Performance of U.S. Islamic Mutual Funds
2020
Islamic investment funds have become increasingly important because of high demand from many investors, including those outside the Muslim investment community. This article compares the performance and risk sensitivity of Islamic mutual funds in the United States with that of their conventional peers. This article also analyzes the performance of Islamic funds, and compares this performance with that of socially responsible investment (SRI) mutual funds. Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)-based methodology was used for the analysis. The results suggest that over the entire study period (1987&ndash

Revista electrónica de investigación y evaluación educativa
2014
Resumen tomado de la publicación Título, resumen y palabras clave en inglés y español Se muestra que cuando se quiere conocer el grado de satisfacción del alumno con la docencia recibida, es aconsejable introducir en su análisis y estudio componentes contextuales. Las variables contextuales que se incluyen en el análisis están relacionadas con determinadas estructuras académicas de carácter organizativo. Estas estructuras son de tipo jerárquico o anidado y aportan información sobre datos como el tipo de estudios que el alumno realiza o la clase en la que el alumno está matriculado. Para obtener el nivel de satisfacción del alumnado se utilizan los cuestionarios de evaluación docente de la U…
Factores moduladores de la percepción de la calidad docente
2010
Resumen basado en el del autor Título, resumen y palabras clave en español e inglés Título, resumen y palabras clave en español e inglés Disponible la versión en inglés Se presenta una revisión sobre los hallazgos existentes en relación a la investigación de los factores supuestamente implicados en la valoración que el alumnado universitario realiza sobre la tarea docente de sus profesores, pudiendo suponer una amenaza a la validez de dicho constructo. La revisión se presenta organizada en torno a las tres fuentes implicadas en el proceso perceptivo del alumno, siendo éstas el propio alumno, el profesor y el contexto. La revisión concluye que, a pesar de efectos menores, los factores analiz…
Recent advances in ground-based ultraviolet remote sensing of volcanic SO2 fluxes
2011
Measurements of volcanic SO2 emission rates have been the mainstay of remote-sensing volcanic gas geochemistry for almost four decades, and they have contributed significantly to our understanding of volcanic systems and their impact upon the atmosphere. The last ten years have brought step-change improvements in the instrumentation applied to these observations, which began with the application of miniature ultraviolet spectrometers that were deployed in scanning and traverse configurations, with differential optical absorption spectroscopy evaluation routines. This study catalogs the more recent empirical developments, including: ultraviolet cameras; wide-angle field-of-view differential …
Elementary school teachers adapt their instructional support according to students' academic skills – A variable and person-oriented approach
2015
This study examined the longitudinal associations between children’s academic skills and the instructional support teachers gave individual students. A total of 253 Finnish children were tested on reading and math skills twice in the first grade and once in the second grade. The teachers of these children rated the instructional support that they gave each child in reading and mathematics. The results showed that the poorer the student’s reading and math skills were, the more support and attention the student received from his or her teacher later on. However, instructional support did not contribute positively to the subsequent development of the students’ academic skills. The person-orie…

Electron Irradiation Effects on Single‐Layer MoS 2 Obtained by Gold‐Assisted Exfoliation
2022
International audience; Mechanical exfoliation assisted by gold is applied to obtain good quality large lateral size single-layer MoS2. The effects of 2.5 MeV electron irradiation are investigated at room temperature on structural and electronic features by Raman and microluminescence spectroscopy. The exciton recombination emission in the direct bandgap of single-layer MoS2 is affected during irradiation starting from the minimum explored dose of 1 kGy. At higher doses, Raman bands show no relevant modifications whereas the exciton emission is quenched, suggesting that irradiation-induced point defects affect exciton dynamics.
Country branding in export promotion : case Food From Finland
2017
Globalisaation myötä mielikuvat eri maista vaikuttavat kasvavassa määrin kuluttajien jokapäiväisiin valintoihin ympäri maailmaa. Edistääkseen positiivista mielikuvaa, useat maat tekevät maabrändityötä, joka ulottuu matkailumarkkinoinnista vienninedistämiseen ja ulkomaisten investointien houkuttelemiseen. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteina oli valottaa suomalaisten elintarvikeviejien suhdetta kotimaansa maabrändiin sekä tarkastella vientiyritysten ja vienninedistämistoimien roolia maabrändin kehittämistyössä. Tutkimuksen kohteena on Finpron elintarviketeollisuuden vienninedistämisohjelma Food From Finland ja tutkimuksen empiirinen aineisto koostuu kahdeksasta laadullisesta yrityshaastattelusta. T…
Aligned microcontact printing of biomolecules on microelectronic device surfaces
2001
Microcontact printing (/spl mu/CP) of extracellular matrix proteins is a fascinating approach to control cell positioning and outgrowth, which is essential in the development of applications ranging from cellular biosensors to tissue engineering. Microelectronic devices can be used to detect the activity from a large number of recording sites over the long term. However, signals from cells can only be recorded at small sensitive spots. Here, the authors present an innovative setup to perform aligned /spl mu/CP of extracellular matrix proteins on microelectronic devices in order to guide the growth of electrogenic cells specifically to these sensitive spots. The authors' system is based on t…
