In Japan, overwork-related disorders occur among local public employees as well as those in private businesses. However, to date, there are no studies reporting the state of compensation for cerebrovascular/cardiovascular diseases (CCVD) and mental disorders due to overwork or work-related stress among local public employees in Japan over multiple years. This report examined the recent trend of...

Production contracts have gained significant popularity as a mechanism of vertical coordication in several agricultural industries. However, the compensation received from such contracts does not always satisfy the grower’s optimal compensation strategy. Furthermore, these contracts are non-adjustable over the contract term although a grower’s risk position often does change. This analysis illu...

The need for high bandwidth operational amplifiers (op amp) exists for numerous applications. This need requires research in the area of op amp bandwidth extension. The exploited method in this thesis uses a class of compensation called Indirect Feedback Frequency Compensation in which the compensation current is fed back indirectly from the output to an internal high impedance node, to extend ...

Background: There are many cases in which the accused does not deserve to be detained and is detained without observing the legal terms and conditions or imprisoned due to a judicial error. In such cases, compensation for an innocent detainee is an important issue that needs to be addressed due to the violation of the fundamental rights of individuals. Therefore, the purpose of the present stud...

BACKGROUND Problems may arise during the approval process of treatment after a compensable work injury, which include excess paperwork, delays in approving services, disputes, and allegations of over-servicing. This is perceived as undesirable for injured people, health care professionals and claims managers, and costly to the health care system, compensation system, workplaces and society. Int...

Since the papers of Basu et. al. (1985) and Lal and Srinivasan (1993), marketing academics have been interested in the design and implementation of optimal compensation plans. The literature has focused on agency theory as a foundation to help describe and understand this process. Although there has been much theoretical work on this topic, empirical evidence to support this theory remains spar...

Motivated by important international differences in the design of ”say on pay” (SoP), this paper studies how its enforceability and its timing affects compensation decisions of the board of directors (BoD) and the level of board dependence. The analysis suggests that SoP design can have significant economic consequences that should be considered by regulatory authorities. In the context of a th...

3 Structured Summary What do we want to know? At present in the UK, compensation for medical injuries can be sought through tort litigation, with payouts made through court or out-of-court settlements. No-fault compensation schemes (NFCSs) can provide an alternative method to redress claims resulting from medical injury. To inform consideration of an administrative compensation scheme relevant ...

This paper presents a temperature compensation voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) based on Cross-Coupled pair and Colpitts structures which is suitable for military fields. Also, two inductors have been used for increasing the negative conductance. By using this method, start-up condition has been improved. Two varactors and a simple capacitor bank are applied for covering a wide tunning range...
