Microfinance institutions (MFIs) play a significant role in financial-inclusion and poverty-alleviation activities. A critical challenge facing MFIs is of how they all can build their own capacity for sustainable healthy development. By using the data from pilot survey 65 microcredit companies Zhejiang, China, this paper explores factors affecting activities by principal component analysis anal...

Joint radar–communications (JRC) waveform could enable simultaneously radar sensing and communication functions in a multifunction integrated system (MFIS). Because of the special JRC characteristics MFIS, traditional task scheduling algorithm for phased array cannot be applied to MFIS release its full potential. Therefore, novel adaptive enabled is proposed paper. Firstly, modified criteria ar...

The study investigated the loan repayment, its determinants and socio-economic characteristics of microfinance loan beneficiaries in the Southeast states of Nigeria. It was carried out in three states of the five southeast states. Using a multistage sampling technique, a total of 144 loan beneficiaries in the three segments of MFIs, namely; formal (commercial and development banks); semi-formal...

BACKGROUND Both fatigue and reduced physical activity are important consequences of multiple sclerosis (MS). However, their mutual association is poorly understood. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to determine the relation between perceived fatigue and home-based recording of motor activity in patients with MS. METHODS Found associations were checked for confounding by age, Expande...

We examine the impact of religious beliefs on loan repayments in 770 microfinance institutions (MFIs) across 65 countries over period 2006–2018. find robust evidence a negative relationship between religiosity and losses MFIs. also that is stronger for MFIs Protestant-dominated than Catholic-dominated countries. Moreover, improves operational self-sufficiency through reduction losses. does not ...

Objectives. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) values correlate with depression, but studies investigating the relationship between PSQI values and polysomnographic (PSG) data showed inconsistent findings. Methods. Sixty-five consecutive patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) were retrospectively classified as "good sleepers" (GS) (PSQI ≤ 5) and "poor sleepers" (PS) (PSQI > 5). The PSG data a...

Recent developments in power electronics technology have spurred interest in the use of renewable energy sources as distributed generation (DG) generators. The key component in DG generators is a grid-connected inverter that serves as an effective interface between the renewable energy source and the utility grid. The multifunctional inverter (MFI) is special type of grid-connected inverter tha...

The paper examines the relationship between capital structure, credit risk management and financial performance of microfinance institutions (MFIs) in Uganda based on agency theory. study adopted a cross–sectional research design to examine 64 MFIs Uganda. Correlation multiple regression analysis were performed analyze data. results reveal that significantly contributes sound performance....

Ni–Mn–Ga based ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs) have emerged as a promising new class of active materials capable of producing a large (several %) magnetic-field-induced strain (MFIS). FSMAs still have several characteristic shortcomings that may limit their potential applications. A threshold field of 2 to 4 kOe must be overcome to initiate twin boundary motion and a larger field is r...
