  • Nitrogen Source for Inflorescence Development in Phalaenopsis: I
    J. AMER.SOC.HORT.SCI. 139(1):69–75. 2014. Nitrogen Source for Inflorescence Development in Phalaenopsis: I. Relative Significance of Stored and Newly Absorbed Nitrogen Hadi Susilo, Ying-Chun Peng, and Yao-Chien Alex Chang1 Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, National Taiwan University, 1 Roosevelt Road Sec. 4, Taipei 10617, Taiwan ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. moth orchid, nitrogen-15, nitrogen partitioning, nutrient mobilization, sink-source relationship, stable isotope ABSTRACT. Phalaenopsis orchid is a slow-growing crop that responds slowly to fertilization. In this study, we used 15N- labeled Johnson’s solution to investigate the accumulation and use of fertilizer nitrogen (N) during the vegetative and reproductive growth stages of Phalaenopsis Sogo Yukidian ‘V3’ with a focus on the nitrogen source for inflorescence development. Labeling of fertilizer applied to mature plants 6 weeks before forcing or at 6 weeks into forcing showed that in the inflorescence, the ratio of N derived from fertilizer applied 6 weeks before forcing to the N derived from fertilizer applied 6 weeks into forcing was 31% to 69%, which shows the importance of newly absorbed fertilizer for supplying the N needed for inflorescence development. The fate of fertilizer N applied during the small, medium, or large plant stage of vegetative Phalaenopsis Sogo Yukidian ‘V3’ was traced separately with 15N-labeling. The capacity of the plant to accumulate N after fertilizer application was different during the various stages of vegetative growth, with large plants having more N storage capacity as a result of their greater biomass. However, the percentage of the accumulated N that was later allocated to the inflorescence was similar regardless of the stage of fertilizer application: of the fertilizer N absorbed during various stages of the vegetative period, 6% to 8% was allocated to the inflorescence at the visible bud stage.

  • THE IMPACT of ACQUISITION on STOCK VALUE in CASE of WARSAW STOCK EXCHANGE Wojciech Kaczmarczyk1
    ECONOMICS AND CULTURE 16(1), 2019 DOI: 10.2478/jec-2019-0008 THE IMPACT OF ACQUISITION ON STOCK VALUE IN CASE OF WARSAW STOCK EXCHANGE Wojciech Kaczmarczyk1 DOI: 10.1515/jec-2016-0014 1University of Economics in Katowice, 1 Maja street 50, 40-287 Katowice, Poland, [email protected], ORCID: 0000-0003-2037-2568 Abstract Research purpose: Seven of 10 companies that have won the Polish Forbes edition Merge & Acquisition 2018 Ranking are listed on Warsaw Stock Exchange. The aim of the conducted research was to test if the biggest acquisitions have an impact on stocks value and is it possible for typical investor to create extra profit by using knowledge of acquisition based on public information. Design/Methodology/Approach: Using data from Warsaw Stock Exchange (quotations), typical measures such as rate of return, standard deviation (risk), correlation and transaction volume changes were calculated. Each of the case results obtained for the company was compared with the result for stock market indexes: WIG (Warszawski Indeks Giełdowy – main WSE index), WIG20 (WSE sub-index of the 20 largest companies), mWIG40 (WSE sub-index of 40 medium companies) and sWIG80 (WSE sub-index of 80 small companies). In addition, the outcomes were confronted with public news (from WSE Electronic System for Information Transfer). Findings: Conducted research has shown that generally successful finalisation of acquisition results in changes of stock prices behaviour. Unfortunately, observed reactions were not the same. Acquisitions induced both increases and decreases in stock prices; there was also no rule in case of risk change. Generally, acquisitions and merges had rather good influence in banking sector (which is still concentrating), but there was no common reaction in other sectors.

  • Grupa Azoty Strengthens Partnership with New Chemical Syntheses
    08.02.2018 Grupa Azoty strengthens partnership with New Chemical Syntheses Institute of Puławy On the initiative of Przemysław Czarnek, Governor of the Lublin Province, the Grupa Azoty Group, Poland’s leading chemical group, and the New Chemical Syntheses Institute of Puławy (INS), a renowned Polish research centre, have signed a letter of intent on close and regular cooperation. Group-wide coordination of R&D activities combined with new multidisciplinary projects will improve the Group’s chances of launching innovative solutions on an industrial scale. Fully unlocking the research potential of the Institute, a well- established research centre with over 50 years of presence in the Lublin Province, will also spur further development of the region and the Polish chemical industry at large. “ I am very glad that the New Chemical Syntheses Institute of Puławy will collaborate not only with Grupa Azoty Puławy, but also with other Grupa Azoty Group companies across Poland. It is an important milestone on the road towards closer cooperation between science and business – an effort championed by Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Minister of Science and Higher Education Jarosław Gowin. I believe that strong links between all Grupa Azoty Group companies and the INS, fostered across many areas, will contribute to the development of the Institute itself, which already has a successful track record in scientific research spanning several decades, as well as of the entire Lublin Province,” said Przemysław Czarnek, the Lublin Province Governor. The partnership will involve participation in R&D and implementation projects in Poland and abroad, research and development of new products and manufacturing technologies and their pilot implementation.

FTSE Russell classifies markets using four categories: Developed, Advanced Emerging, Secondary Emerging and Frontier. Developed market status means that apart from market quality and size criteria being met, the country is considered as having high gross national income with developed market infrastructures. When determining a country's status, FTSE Russell measures, amongst other things, the market quality (regulatory framework, transactional landscape, derivatives market, etc.), adequateness of the market size, consistency and predictability, stability and market access (ease of investment and disinvestment).

  • Towards an Integrated Market for Seeds and Fertilizers in West Africa Public Disclosure Authorized
    93630 Towards an Integrated Market for Seeds and Fertilizers in West Africa Public Disclosure Authorized John C. Keysera, Marjatta Eilittäb, Georges Dimithec, Gbolagade d e Ayoola , and Louis Sène January, 2015 Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized a Lead author, World Bank Group; b West Africa trade and fertilizer specialist, lead consultant; c Public Disclosure Authorized institutional development specialist, consultant; d fertilizer and seed trade specialist, consultant; e seed trade specialist, consultant. TOWARDS AN INTEGRATED MARKET FOR SEEDS AND FERTILIZERS IN WEST AFRICA Abstract To improve farmer access to quality seeds and fertilizers, West African governments have been working through ECOWAS and other regional organizations to develop harmonized rules for input trade for many years. After extensive consultations, regional regulations based on advanced international standards have mostly been agreed upon and are already helping to guide quality improvements in some countries. Despite these encouraging signs, most countries do not currently have the physical capacity or institutional structures needed to implement the agreed trade rules which will take considerable time and investment to develop. The analysis, therefore, points to a need for pragmatic solutions that are easy for individual countries or groups of countries to implement in the near term while longer-term progress towards full harmonization continues. Key words Africa, regional trade, crop inputs, harmonization Acknowledgements This working paper is the result of numerous consultations with seed, fertilizer, and regional trade experts in West Africa who generously gave their time for interviews, for sharing data, and for answering questions after the country visits. The complete list of individuals met is too long for this page, but the team would like everyone to know that their time and efforts are greatly appreciated.
