New gaugings of four dimensional N = 8 supergravity are constructed, including one which has a Minkowski space vacuum that preserves N = 2 supersymme-try and in which the gauge group is broken to SU(3) × U(1) 2. Previous gaugings used the form of the ungauged action which is invariant under a rigid SL(8, R) symmetry and promoted a 28-dimensional subgroup (SO(8), SO(p, 8 − p) or the non-semi-sim...

Purpose: The study aims to investigate the impact of financial derivatives use on bank risk. For this purpose, banks operating in D-8 countries, are investigated. 
 Design/Methodology: While relationship between risk and derivative utilize is examined, some bank-specific control variables added model. Due sample structure endogeneity problem study, hypotheses were tested again by using Gen...
