...AUDITING: A JOURNAL OF PRACTICE & THEORY Vol. 24, No. 1 May 2005 pp. 21ñ35 Recent Changes in the Association between Bankruptcies and Prior Audit Opinions Marshall A. Geiger, K. Raghunandan, and Dasaratha V. Rama SUMMARY: The intense legislative and media scrutiny after a series of high-profile corporate failures, coupled with the paradigm shift in the regulation of the auditing profession brought forth by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, suggests that auditorsí decisions would be more conservative in the period after December 2001. Based on analyses of 226 financially stressed companies that entered bankruptcy during the period from 2000 to 2003, we find that auditors are more likely to issue going-concern modified audit opinions in the period after December 2001. Since the post-December 2001 period coincides with recovery from a recession in the U.S., we also examine prior audit opinions for 93 companies entering bankruptcy in 1991 and 1992. We find that auditors were also more likely to issue prior going-concern modified audit opinions in 2002ñ03 than in the earlier recession recovery period. Following the technique used in Francis and Krishnan (2002), we document that the increase in going-concern modification rates for bankrupt companies after December 2001 is due to changes in auditor reporting decisions and not solely due to differences in client characteristics between the time periods studied. Keywords: bankruptcy; going-concern reports. Data Availability: Contact the authors...

...Two women, Edith Windsor and Thea Spyer, were married in Ontario Canada in 2007, and the State of New York had recognized their marriage. Spyer died in 2009, leaving her estate to Windsor. Windsor attempted to claim the federal estate tax exemption, but was prevented from doing so under the Defense of Marriage Act. Windsor paid the estate taxes but requested a refund from the IRS, which was denied. Windsor brought a refund suit to the District Court, claiming that DOMA violated the Fifth Amendment equal protection rights. An appeal was filed and the District Court’s decision was affirmed by the Court of Appeals of the Second Circuit. Although the US government did not seek to defend the constitutionality of DOMA, but they refused to refund...

...TEORIJA DETEKCIJE SIGNALA Priredio Dr. sc. Dragutin Ivanec samo za internu upotrebu (Psihologijski praktikum 1) Citiranje: Ivanec, D. (2007). Teorija detekcije signala. Skripta. Neobjavljeni rukopis, Odsjek za psihologiju, FF u Zagrebu. Činjenica da kriterij ispitanika u psihofizičkim mjerenjima (njegova blagost, strogost i sl.) može imati relativno veliki utjecaj na dobivene rezultate iz kojih zaključujemo o nečijoj osjetljivosti, dovela je do pokušaja razvijanja postupaka i metoda koje bi takve utjecaje otklonile barem na neki način držale pod kontrolom. Jedan od takvih metodoloških pristupa je Teorija detekcije signala (TDS), koju su iz područja tehnologije i inženjerstva u psihofiziku uveli Green & Swets (1966). TDS se temelji na statističkoj teoriji donošenja odluka koja je imala svoju primjenu u inženjerstvu, gdje se javljao problem što točnijeg razdvajanja signala i šuma. Temeljna pretpostavka upotrebe TDS-a u psihofizici, tj. pri ispitivanju osjetljivosti osjetnih sustava, zasniva se na nekim zajedničkim osobinama tehnoloških sustava i perceptivnih procesa kod ljudi u situacijama opažanja. Problem s kojim se susreće opažač u situaciji slabog podražaja (signala) slična je situaciji kod fizikalnih komunikacijskih sistema. Opažač detektira signal u odnosu na uvijek prisutnu podlogu – tj. šum. Takva situacija otežava proces detekcije pa opažač ponekad i sam efekt šuma proglašava signalom.

"The Supreme Court ruled that the Supreme Court does have power in the ruling, the power of BLAG in the case is undefined though and DOMA does deprive homosexual couples that are legally married of right to equal protection that is given to them under the fifth amendment." "The right to same sex marriage in America is not guaranteed because of this case, but there are definitely some positives from this case.

...Assignment 2: The Statutes Sara Barboza Dr. Joseph McCue PAD 525 Constitutional and Administrative Law October 18, 2015 INTRODUCTION The word miscegenation comes from the Latin words miscere (to mix) and genus (type, family, or descent) and has been used to refer to cohabitation or intermarriage between racial groups. Regulated by state law, miscegenation was illegal in many states for decades. However, interracial marriage in the United States has been fully legal in all U.S. states since the 1967 Supreme Court decision, Loving v. Virginia, that decreed all state antimiscegenation laws unconstitutional. Many states, of course, had chosen to legalize interracial marriage much earlier. According to a May 14, 2012, Huffington Post article entitled “Interracial Marriage Statistics: Pew Report Finds Mixed-Race Marriage Rates Rising,” the 1980 Census (the first to collect data on interracial marriage) reported that 3% of all married couples were from different races. The number had risen to 8.4% (one in twelve couples) by 2010. Looking at marriages recorded in the years between 2008 and 2010, we find that 22% of newly-married couples in Western states were of different races or ethnicities, compared to 14% in the South, 13% in the Northeast, and 11% in the Midwest.

Ipak, kao u snu, sve se odvijalo sliĉno usporenom filmu. Probijala se kroz gustu vodenu zavesu iza koje je videla lica ljudi oko sebe. Oĉi su im bile gladne; usta su im se otvarala i zatvarala kao da će je celu progutati, a glasovi su im se utišavali i oticali poput talasa koji udaraju o stenu. Srce joj je poĉelo snaţnije i upornije da lupa, kao ţestoki tango unutar njenog sleĊenog tela. Nastavi da se krećeš, nastavi da se krećeš, zapovedao je mozak njenim drhtavim nogama dok su je ĉvrste ruke gurale kroz gomilu ka stepenicama sudnice. Oĉi su joj zasuzile od jakog svetla, pa je potraţila naoĉare za sunce. Pomisliće da je plakala. Neće im dopustiti da iskoriste njene emocije. Tišina će biti njen štit. Spotakla se i u trenutku osetila paniku. Brzo je naredila sebi da ne sme da padne, jer desi li se to, reporteri i radoznala masa će skoĉiti na nju, reţeći i škljocajući foto-aparatima. Rastrgnuće je kao divlji pas zeca. Mora da se uspravi, da stoji iza svoje tišine još nekoliko metara. Toliko je nauĉila od Iv. Pokaži im da si pametna, devojko, ali nikad im ne pokazuj da se plašiš. Iv. Došlo joj je da vrišti. Da prekrije lice šakama i da vrišti sve dok ne izlije sav bes, strah i tugu iz sebe. VreĊala su je pitanja koja su novinari dovikivali. Mikrofoni su joj boli lice poput smrtonosnih...

Neretko se dešavalo da su vladaocima darivali konje, oružje, tkanine protkane zlatom, drago kamenje i ukrase koji dolikuju nji hovom visokom položaju. Želeći, dakle, da iziđem pred Vaše svetio lice sa nekim zalogom svoje podaničke odanosti, u svojoj imovini nisam našao ništa što bi mi bilo milije ili što bih više cenio od poznavanja dela velikih ljudi, do koga sam došao na osnovu dugog iskustva, stečenog 5 učestvovanjem u savremenim zbivan jima i neprestanim izučavanjem pro teklih događaja. Pošto sam znanja dugo proveravao i ispitivao i sada u ovoj knjižici sakupio, upućujem je Vašoj Svetlosti. Iako smatram da ovo delo ne zaslužuje čast da Vam bude poklon jeno, ipak nada da ćete ga Vi blagoizvoleti primiti, jer od mene dobiti većeg dara ne možete nego što je mogućnost da za kratko vreme saznate sve ono što sam ja godinama proučavao, izlažući se velikim napor ima i opasnostima.

...Topografija 1. Orijentacija: Pojam orijentacije Da bi se lakše snalazili ne terenu važno je savladati neke osnovne pojmove o orijentaciji i terenu. Orijentacija podrazumjeva svako snalaženje na terenu koje nije automatski (poznati teren) nego na osnovu nekog znanja i iskustva. Pojam orijentacije podrazumjeva zemljopisnu (geografsku) i topografsku orijentaciju. Zemljopisna orijentacija obuhvaća određivanje strana svijeta (istok, zapad, sjever, jug). Topografska orijentacija podrazumjeva određivanje stojne točke, položaja objekata na terenu (reljef, infrastruktura i sl.), te izbor daljnjeg kretanja na terenu. Topografska orijentacija obično uključuje i zemljopisnu orijentaciju. Zemljopisna orijentacija pomoću nebeskih tijela i znakova na terenu - Zemljopisna orijentacija pomoću Sunca Za orijentaciju u prirodi bez kompasa najpogodnija je orijentacija pomoću Sunca (Sunca i sata). Sunce je ujutro u 6 sati na istoku, u podne na jugu, a u 18 sati na zapadu. Iz toga možemo zaključiti da se Sunce u toku jednog sata pomakne za 15º. Za orijentaciju u ostala vremena koristimo sat s kazaljkom. Pošto su u danas satovi na kazaljke rijetki, sat možemo imitirati tako da ga nacrtamo na papiru ili nečemu sličnom. Bitno je pri tome paziti na točnu podijelu između brojki sata. Kod ovog načina sat stavimo u vodoravan položaj i okrenemo malu kazaljku sata u prema Sunca.

Ispružila sam prste u potrazi za Priminom toplinom, ali dotakla sam samo grubu površinu dušeka. Mora da je sanjala nešto ružno i otišla kod majke. Naravno da jeste. Danas je dan žetve. Podigla sam se na lakat. U spavaćoj sobi ima dovoljno svetlosti da ih osmotrim. Moja mlađa sestra Prim sklupčala se u loptu, a majka se obmotala oko nje. Spavale su obraz uz obraz. Majka u snu deluje mlađe. I dalje deluje umorno, ali ne i izmoždeno. Primino lice je sveže poput rose, ljupko poput cveta* po kojem je dobila ime. Pored njenih kolena, najružniji mačor na svetu, sedi i čuva je. Nos mu je zgnječen, pola jednog uha nedostaje, a oči su mu boje trule bundeve. Prim ga je nazvala Ljutić, insistirajući na tome da njegovo mrljavo žuto krzno podseća na žarke boje tog cveta. Mene mrzi. U najmanju ruku mi ne veruje. Mada je od tada prošlo mnogo godina, mislim da se još seća kako sam pokušala da ga udavim u kofi kada ga je Prim donela kući. Bio je mršavo mače, stomaka natečenog od crva i krzna prepunog buva. Samo mi je to falilo. Još jedna usta koja treba nahraniti. Ali, Prim me preklinjala, čak je i plakala. Morala sam da joj dopustim da ga zadrži. Sve je ispalo dobro. Majka ga je očistila od gamadi,...
