Disclosure of reserve quantum in the extractive industries

We explore why some firms in the extractive industries disclose mineral reserve quantum in their annual reports and others do not. We propose that the firms' reserve disclosure policies are a function of the extent of information asymmetries, as well as information production, litigation and proprietary costs. More specifically, we propose that a firm's decisions to disclose reserves in the annual report are a function of the stage of the firm's operations, use of project financing, and the cost of measuring reserves. Empirical tests are confirmatory.     

浅谈传统文化与艺术设计

平面设计是利用视觉图像、符号来传达意图的设计形式,由于表现方式限于于平面,只通过视觉认知传达,因此有一定的局限性,但并不是说平面设计所表达的内容会因此减少和单薄,相反,在有限的表达方式下却能传达出丰富多彩,变幻莫测的意义.如果完全背离传统艺术形式,一味模仿西方的现代艺术,惟西方现代艺术马首是瞻,简单地挪用西方现代艺术形式,将使我们的艺术丧失民族的个性.

司法强拆运行机制可行性审视——基于案例分析的反思与重构

现行司法强拆运行机制不能有效遏制强制拆迁中恶性事件的发生,且可能导致司法强拆面临较大的运行风险,使其失去道义和法治层面的正当性支撑,导致司法强拆陷入被民众暴戾化抵制的运行困境。因此,对司法强拆运行机制的重构应当建立裁、执分离制度,保证司法强拆运行机制的公平公正;实现司法独立,避免司法受地方行政和其他外力干预;确立公众有效参与拆迁过程的制度,使司法强拆前的社会风险评估落到实处;通过司法强拆运行机制为地方政府与被拆迁户之间搭建一个有效的对话和沟通平台。     

A Sports Consumption Comparative Study on Urban Residents between Chongqing and Some Cities in Advanced Eastern and Western Regions

This paper compares and analyzes the EE consumption structure of urban residents in Chongqing and other cities in Eastern and Western areas （Such as Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Zhejiang, Chengdu, Xi＇an, Guizhou）. The research shows the level of P.E consumption is in the lower-middle position, and its structure is not reasonable. This paper also explores the factors that restrict P.E consumption of urban residents in Chongqing city and puts up some feasible suggestions on improving P.E consumption structure and increasing P.E consumption level.     

Cross-national product value perceptions

Can a psychographic variable, i.e., a value perception of a product, be successfully compared across national boundaries? Using students in four countries, the authors tested for similarity in a two-stage process. Value perception was tested by comparing samples using only the owners of the products first, and then using only the nonowners. Similarities were found that bridge national borders. These similarities are evident where the respondents sampled are owners of the base products or have a high degree of market knowledge regarding these products.     

Heavy,medium, light shoppers and nonshoppers of a used merchandise outlet

An unsettling economic future coupled with changes in social values indicate that preowned merchandise buying will become increasingly evident. Consumers face the prospects of inflation, unemployment, and shortages, while social values are shifting away from disregard of resource usage by the disposable society. Buying preowned merchandise is a solution to coping with the environmental changes. Although institutions selling used merchandise, like other retailers, require factual information to design effective marketing strategies, this remains a neglected retailing phenomenon.The purpose of this study was to gain insights concerning several aspects of preowned merchandise buying using Goodwill Industries as a case in point. Data were collected to provide demographic profiles of heavy, medium, and light shoppers and nonshoppers, the information sources effective in inculcating awareness, basic patronage motives of heavy, medium, and light shoppers, and various buying behavior patterns of the four groups. The latter included shopping at Goodwill versus other institutions selling used merchandise, future shopping plans at Goodwill, overall attitude toward used merchandise, and the types of preowned merchandise they would be willing to purchase.Telephone interviews were made with a randomly selected sample of household representatives living in a midwestern standard metropolitan statistical area (SMSA) with a population of 85,000. The 336 respondents (97.5% of the sample) who were aware of Goodwill formed the initial data base from which 320 usable questionnaires were obtained. A composite shopping volume index was used to differentiate light, medium, and heavy shoppers as well as nonshoppers.Results from the study show that some differences exist between the groups in terms of demographics, information sources, and patronage motives as well as part and anticipated shopping behavior. Several implications are suggested for Goodwill in particular and similar organizations in general.
