This study examines the impact of capital structure on the performance of quoted firms in the Nigerian Stock Exchange from 2005-2011. The researcher analyzes the relationship between performance measures like return on asset (ROA) and return on equity (ROE) with short-term debt, long-term debt, and total debt. Control variables like tangibility, liquidity, non-debt tax, and efficiency that influence performance are also analyzed. The results show that short-term debt, long-term debt, and total debt have a significant negative relationship with performance, while tangibility and efficiency have a positive relationship. Non-debt tax and liquidity show a negative relationship with performance. The study concludes that capital structure affects firm performance
This paper scrutinizes Determinants of Capital Structure: A study on some selected corporate firms in Bangladesh. We have taken 10 out of 37 listed companies of DSE dividing into two sectors i.e. Pharmaceuticals and chemicals and Tannery sector, five years data from 2013 to 2017 has been collected from respective annual reports. Total number of observations was 50. There are different factors that affect a firm's capital structure decision. We use leverage (D/E ratio) as dependent variable and independent variables are profitability, tangibility, tax, size, growth, non-debt tax shield (NDTS) and financial costs. By using Descriptive Statistical Analysis, Correlation Analysis and Regression Analysis tools we find that Tangibility, size, NDTS, and financial costs are positively related with leverage and Profitability, tax, and growth are negatively related with leverage. In our analysis we see profitability, tangibility of asset, growth and non-debt tax shield have significant association. So when we take capital structure decision of the above firms we should consider profitability, tangibility of asset, growth and non-debt tax shield because other independent variables are insignificant in the context of Bangladesh economy.

This study examines how stock liquidity affects corporate risk-taking using China's split share structure reform as a natural experiment. The reform increased stock liquidity by eliminating restrictions on trading shares. The study finds that higher stock liquidity leads to increased corporate risk-taking through two channels: 1) lower costs of capital, as liquidity reduces investment risk and transaction costs, making firms less financially constrained and more tolerant of risky projects, and 2) higher pay-for-performance sensitivity of managers, as liquidity shifts compensation toward stock-based, incentivizing riskier strategies that may boost stock prices. The results provide evidence that capital market development can stimulate long-term economic growth by encouraging appropriate risk-taking.

This paper analyzes 262 mergers and acquisitions in the European banking sector between 1990-2004 to examine the impact of strategic similarities on bank performance. The authors find that mergers between banks with similar efficiency levels, capital structures, and business profiles led to improved post-merger performance, especially for domestic mergers focused on cost-cutting. However, differences in credit risk and activities boosted performance for cross-border mergers seeking revenue synergies. The analysis provides insights but has limitations such as a narrow time window, lack of controls for multiple mergers, and not accounting for differences in accounting standards across countries.
This document provides a literature review on the motives and outcomes of mergers and acquisitions (M&A). It discusses several theories that attempt to explain M&A motives, including monopoly theory, efficiency theory, valuation theory, and empire building theory. Common motives for M&A include growth, synergies, economies of scale, increased market power, and improved management efficiency. However, some motives like managerial hubris and agency problems can potentially destroy shareholder value. The document also examines different methodologies used to analyze M&A, including whether they increase, decrease, or have uncertain impacts on shareholder value.

This document summarizes several studies on capital structure that were conducted between 1982 and 2009. The studies examined factors that influence a firm's capital structure decisions, such as profitability, growth opportunities, firm size, asset composition, and country-specific institutional factors. The studies generally found support for theories like the pecking order theory and trade-off theory in explaining capital structure choices. For example, more profitable firms tended to rely more on internal financing rather than debt, while firm size and asset composition influenced target debt levels. However, the studies also found that capital structure decisions are impacted by firm-specific and country-level institutional differences.

This study examined the relationship between capital structure and earnings per share (EPS) for 10 financial institutions listed on the Colombo Stock Exchange in Sri Lanka from 2006 to 2010. The capital structure ratios studied were equity ratio, debt ratio, and leverage ratio. Correlation analysis found equity ratio and debt ratio were negatively associated with EPS, while leverage ratio was positively associated. However, the relationships were not statistically significant. Multiple regression analysis also found capital structure ratios explained 22.6% of the variation in EPS, but the individual ratios' impacts were not statistically significant. Therefore, the hypotheses proposing relationships between the ratios and EPS could not be confirmed.

The purpose of this research was to empirically investigate the effect of capital structure on financial sustainability
of deposit-taking micro finance institutions (DTMs) in Kenya. The specific objectives were to determine the impact
of debt on the financial sustainability of DTMs in Kenya, to assess the influence of retained earnings on the financial
sustainability of DTMs in Kenya, to examine the effect of ordinary share capital on the financial sustainability of
MFIs in Kenya, and to investigate the impact of preferred share capital on the financial sustainability of DTMs in
Kenya. The target population of the study was all the 13 DTMs in Kenya registered with the Central Bank of Kenya.
Secondary data was collected on all the DTMs financial data from the Central Bank of Kenya reports. Data was
analyzed using multiple regression model using SPSS and R as the data analysis tool. Based on the findings 76.9%
of the DTMs did not earn enough revenue to cover the actual financing direct costs, which include the total operating
costs, loan loss provisions and the financing costs but excluding the cost of capital. The analysis of variance
(ANOVA) table indicated that the predictor variables influenced the predictor variable significantly at 5%
significance level. Among the four variables; debt and retained earnings were statistically significant variable at 5%
significance level with 1.265 and 1.630 coefficient respectfully. Whereby the financial sustainability change by
1.265 and 1.630 for every unit change of debt or retained earnings respectfully. Therefore, for the deposit-taking
microfinance institutions to remain afloat in the lending business, they should utilize any borrowing opportunity,
plough back profits to the business, and low proportion of preferred share capital. Deposit-taking microfinance
institutions should avoid usage ordinary share capital as it negatively affected financial sustainability
Corporate debt policy remained a significant, but a challenging decision for managers entrusted with the responsibility to improve the value of the firm. Thus, this study examines the factors influencing the capital structure decisions of firms in Nigeria. The study employs a panel data regression model to analyze data from firms in Nigeria for the period 2011 to 2015. The result of the empirical analysis reveals that firms in Nigeria have a preference to finance economic operations from retained earnings and the use of short-term debt on rollover basis. The finding of this study confirms that debt decreases with profitability and growth opportunities. The findings show that asset tangibility and firm size have a positive and significant relationship with debt policy of firms in Nigeria. The analysis also reveals that managerial ownership has a negative and significant relationship with debt ratio of firms in Nigeria. The study shows a non-significant positive relationship between non-debt tax shields and debt. The study demonstrates that the trade-off and pecking order theories both explains the factors influencing capital structure decisions of firms in Nigeria. Therefore, this study suggests the need for stakeholders to develop the financial markets and make it accessible for firms to obtain long-term financing for economic growth and development.

An Empirical Analysis on the Nature of Relationship between Capital Structure...iosrjce
The financing decision with regard to capital structure theory of finance has been a topic of many
theories and their conflicting output for past many years. This paper aims to analyse the nature of relationship
between the capital structure of a firm and its performance. The data of 40 firms excluding financial services
firms listed on Nifty indices on National Stock Exchange is studied (The composition of 50 firms on Nifty
represents a well branch out index reflecting precisely the overall market conditions). Financial services firms
have been excluded from purview of this paper, as they are in the business of collecting money and investing in
financial assets rather than producing goods, hence follow a unique business valuation model. Further financial
services sector being one of the most sensitive sectors. This paper analyzes a period of 13 years (2001-2014)
covering the phases of a business cycle starting from boom (2001/02-2006/07), recession (2007/08-2008/09)
and then recovery (2009/10-2013/14). The complete business cycle will aid to demonstrate the results more
accurately. This paper also surveys the topical developments in the empirical capital structure research. The
data for a period of 13 years is analysed using descriptive statistics, correlation and multiple regression
techniques. For research purpose, the ratios such as debt-equity ratio, debt-asset ratio and long term debt are
taken as independent variables whereas Net Profit, Net Profit Margin, ROCE, ROE and ROA are the ratios
taken as dependent variables.

Living in 21st century in itself reminds all of us the necessity of police and its administration. As more and more we are entering into the modern society and culture, the more we require the services of the so called ‘Khaki Worthy’ men i.e., the police personnel. Whether we talk of Indian police or the other nation’s police, they all have the same recognition as they have in India. But as already mentioned, their services and requirements are different after the like 26th November, 2008 incidents, where they without saving their own lives has sacrificed themselves without any hitch and without caring about their respective family members and wards. In other words, they are like our heroes and mentors who can guide us from the darkness of fear, militancy, corruption and other dark sides of life and so on. Now the question arises, if Gandhi would have been alive today, what would have been his reaction/opinion to the police and its functioning? Would he have some thing different in his mind now what he had been in his mind before the partition or would he be going to start some Satyagraha in the form of some improvement in the functioning of the police administration? Really these questions or rather night mares can come to any one’s mind, when there is too much confusion is prevailing in our minds, when there is too much corruption in the society and when the polices working is also in the questioning because of one or the other case throughout the India. It is matter of great concern that we have to thing over our administration and our practical approach because the police personals are also like us, they are part and parcel of our society and among one of us, so why we all are pin pointing towards them.

Developing the rural economy is one of the key indicators towards a country’s success. Whether it be the need to look after the welfare of the farmers or invest in rural infrastructure, Governments have to ensure that rural development isn’t compromised. The economic development of our country largely depends on the progress of rural areas and the standard of living of rural masses. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Rural entrepreneurship is based on stimulating local entrepreneurial talent and the subsequent growth of indigenous enterprises. It recognizes opportunity in the rural areas and accelerates a unique blend of resources either inside or outside of agriculture. Rural entrepreneurship brings an economic value to the rural sector by creating new methods of production, new markets, new products and generate employment opportunities thereby ensuring continuous rural development. Social Entrepreneurship has the direct and primary objective of serving the society along with the earning profits. So, social entrepreneurship is different from the economic entrepreneurship as its basic objective is not to earn profits but for providing innovative solutions to meet the society needs which are not taken care by majority of the entrepreneurs as they are in the business for profit making as a sole objective. So, the Social Entrepreneurs have the huge growth potential particularly in the developing countries like India where we have huge societal disparities in terms of the financial positions of the population. Still 22 percent of the Indian population is below the poverty line and also there is disparity among the rural & urban population in terms of families living under BPL. 25.7 percent of the rural population & 13.7 percent of the urban population is under BPL which clearly shows the disparity of the poor people in the rural and urban areas. The need to develop social entrepreneurship in agriculture is dictated by a large number of social problems. Such problems include low living standards, unemployment, and social tension. The reasons that led to the emergence of the practice of social entrepreneurship are the above factors. The research problem lays upon disclosing the importance of role of social entrepreneurship in rural development of India. The paper the tendencies of social entrepreneurship in India, to present successful examples of such business for providing recommendations how to improve situation in rural areas in terms of social entrepreneurship development. Indian government has made some steps towards development of social enterprises, social entrepreneurship, and social in- novation, but a lot remains to be improved.
OPTIMAL RECONFIGURATION OF POWER DISTRIBUTION RADIAL NETWORK USING HYBRID MET...IAEME Publication
Distribution system is a critical link between the electric power distributor and the consumers. Most of the distribution networks commonly used by the electric utility is the radial distribution network. However in this type of network, it has technical issues such as enormous power losses which affect the quality of the supply. Nowadays, the introduction of Distributed Generation (DG) units in the system help improve and support the voltage profile of the network as well as the performance of the system components through power loss mitigation. In this study network reconfiguration was done using two meta-heuristic algorithms Particle Swarm Optimization and Gravitational Search Algorithm (PSO-GSA) to enhance power quality and voltage profile in the system when simultaneously applied with the DG units. Backward/Forward Sweep Method was used in the load flow analysis and simulated using the MATLAB program. Five cases were considered in the Reconfiguration based on the contribution of DG units. The proposed method was tested using IEEE 33 bus system. Based on the results, there was a voltage profile improvement in the system from 0.9038 p.u. to 0.9594 p.u.. The integration of DG in the network also reduced power losses from 210.98 kW to 69.3963 kW. Simulated results are drawn to show the performance of each case.

The notion of frugal can be viewed as an approach towards productivity improvement in manufacturing industries.
A MULTIPLE – CHANNEL QUEUING MODELS ON FUZZY ENVIRONMENTIAEME Publication
In this paper, we investigated a queuing model of fuzzy environment-based a multiple channel queuing model (M/M/C) ( /FCFS) and study its performance under realistic conditions. It applies a nonagonal fuzzy number to analyse the relevant performance of a multiple channel queuing model (M/M/C) ( /FCFS). Based on the sub interval average ranking method for nonagonal fuzzy number, we convert fuzzy number to crisp one. Numerical results reveal that the efficiency of this method. Intuitively, the fuzzy environment adapts well to a multiple channel queuing models (M/M/C) ( /FCFS) are very well.
