Applicability of the market appeal—robusticity matrix: a case study of heritage tourism

Hong Kong is a city where contemporary global culture coexists with traditional Chinese heritage. One way of promoting Hong Kong's traditional built heritage is to develop a number of linked sites as a heritage trail. For helping the development of such, this study evaluates the applicability of the market appeal—robusticity matrix on heritage tourism development, by assessing the potential for tourism in the single-surname villages of Hong Kong's New Territories. The study techniques include documentary research, questionnaire survey and interviews. The findings indicate the matrix is effective for enabling the assessment of heritage tourism potential because it simultaneously demonstrates the importance of two major considerations for both tourism industry and heritage managers, namely market appeal—an asset's appeal to tourists, and robusticity—its ability to endure visitation. The shortcomings of the model includes the inappropriateness of the technical term “product design needs” in the market appeal subset and lack of community concerns in the robusticity subset of the matrix.     

Business on trial: The tobacco securities trust and the 1935 pepper debacle

The prosecution and imprisonment of Lord Kylsant in 1931, following the collapse of the Royal Mail Shipping Group, has long been acknowledged as a landmark event in the history of financial accounting. Far less attention has been given to the equally high profile conviction and imprisonment of three businessmen four years later in the wake of the notorious pepper scandal. This article examines the background to the scandal, particularly the role played by an investment vehicle called the Tobacco Securities Trust, and compares the subsequent trial and conviction to that of the Royal Mail case. The findings of the article serve to endorse studies by accounting historians arguing that Britain's legal environment played a critical role in promoting improvements in the financial disclosure policies evidenced amongst leading British companies during the second quarter of the twentieth century.     

American boomers and the flotation of shares in the city of London in the late nineteenth century

During the late nineteenth century there was a wave of promotions of American companies on the London Stock Exchange, which have been described as ‘free-standing’. The British company promoter, H. Osborne O'Hagan, is often regarded as the first mover in these promotions, a view based on his autobiography. This article suggests that, in fact, the American lawyer promoters, Samuel and Isaac Untermyer, were the first movers in these company promotions. This article looks at a number of free-standing companies where everyday managerial control was retained by the original managers, and in particular, the case of the Untermyer brothers who competed with O'Hagan.     

不同滤膜对迁移有机锡吸附效率的影响

按照欧洲玩具安全标准EN71-3：2013,在0．07mol／L盐酸中进行迁移有机锡标准溶液,分别用10种不同品牌和规格的滤膜进行过滤,用四乙基硼酸钠对过滤液进行衍生,用GC-MS对11种有机锡迁移量进行测试。结果显示,不同滤膜过滤迁移液对有机锡的吸附不同,四丁基锡和二氯二辛基锡会被滤膜严重吸附;孔径为0．45μm聚四氟乙烯材质的有机系滤膜对有机锡的吸附效率最低。

锡还原熔炼过程中资源价值流的应用研究

锡是我国重要的战略资源,也是现代工业中不可或缺的关键稀有元素。本文以锡元素的物质流转路线为基础,根据资源流转平衡原理,首先界定了资源价值流理论的核算模型,然后在锡还原熔炼过程中应用了资源价值流理论进行成本核算。本文认为,锡还原熔炼的生产成本应是在物质流路线中所产生的材料消耗、人员工资、制造费用与废弃物对环境损害价值之和。     

基于经济重心和锡尔系数的福建城市体系经济差异研究（1952—2010）

王祯《农书》中锡活字排版技艺新释

元代王祯在《农书》中记载了一种锡活字印刷。前人根据其记载推测锡活字中间有一个可供穿铁丝用的小孔。本文通过研究得出与前人不同的观点：元代的锡活字中不应该有小孔,其排版技艺可能与后世所见的金属活字基本相同。     

Bug planet: Frontier myth in Starship Troopers

This paper examines Paul Verhoeven's 1997 film Starship Troopers against Robert A. Heinlein's eponymous 1959 novel, arguing that both productions reinscribe the ideologies of America's mythic frontier history in their fictional futures. The paper shows that despite the conspicuous postmodernisation of narrative in Verhoeven's adaptation, components of the frontier mythology codified in Heinlein's novel— expansionism, Social Darwinism and a violent relationship with the indigenous Other—remain at the film's thematic centre.
