Geology and its tangential studies, collectively known and referred to in this thesis as geosciences, have been paramount to the transformation and advancement of society, fundamentally changing the way we view, interact and live with the surrounding natural and built environment. It is important to recognize the value and importance of this interdisciplinary scientific field while reconciling its ties to imperial and colonizing extractive systems which have led to harmful and invasive endeavors. This intersection among geosciences, (environmental) justice studies, and decolonization is intended to promote inclusive pedagogical models through just and equitable methodologies and frameworks as to prevent further injustices and promote recognition and healing of old wounds. By utilizing decolonial frameworks and highlighting the voices of peoples from colonized and exploited landscapes, this annotated syllabus tackles the issues previously described while proposing solutions involving place-based education and the recentering of land within geoscience pedagogical models.

The ASU COVID-19 testing lab process was developed to operate as the primary testing site for all ASU staff, students, and specified external individuals. Tests are collected at various collection sites, including a walk-in site at the SDFC and various drive-up sites on campus; analysis is conducted on ASU campus and results are distributed virtually to all patients via the Health Services patient portal. The following is a literature review on past implementations of various process improvement techniques and how they can be applied to the ABCTL testing process to achieve laboratory goals. (abstract)
当前中国农村集体经济呈现出后劲不足、区域失衡等问题。在此背景下,如何破解集体经济发展困境、实现其从梯度到均衡的演进成为学术领域关注的热点。本文梳理总结了国内外集体经济的相关研究成果,阐述了主要涉及的基础概念、理论和方法模型;以2008~2015年无锡市滨湖区92个村为研究样本,分析了该区域集体经济的发展现状和演变进程;构建面板回归模型,探索了该区域集体经济发展的驱动因素与分布不平衡性;并从空间关联视角切入,探索了驱动因素的溢出效应;最后基于研究结果提出对策建议。主要结论如下:
(1)2008~2015年,92个村的村级集体经济发展整体呈现上升趋势,但地区间的贫富差距明显;2008年、2011年和2015年92个村按村级集体经济总收入可划分为高、中、低3类,并且在不同时段,各等级间的村级集体单位会相互迁移;集体经济收入呈现明显的右偏分布,尖峰厚尾的特征显著。随着时间的推移,集体经济发展出现了“双峰趋同”的现象。
(2)普通面板回归显示,物质资本、经济工作能力、科技进步对于村级集体经济发展有正向的依次减弱的影响,人口数量的影响为负;面板分位数回归显示,随着分位数水平的提高,物质资本系数先上升、后下降再上升;经济工作能力系数逐渐减小;人口规模系数先下降后上升;科技进步系数波动上升。
(3)空间计量结果显示,各变量对于村级集体经济发展具有一定的溢出效应,其中,物质资本的溢出效应为正(不显著),经济工作能力的溢出效应为正(显著),人口因素的溢出效应为负(不显著),科技进步的溢出效应为正(显著)。
本文的创新之处在于使用较难获取的2008-2015年92个村面板数据进行回归,相比于截面数据,更准确地测度了各要素对集体经济的真实影响;将空间关联因素纳入研究视域,探究了村级集体经济驱动因素的空间溢出效应。
据此,本文基于实证研究方法探讨在债务约束的背景下,在地方政府债务约束下,PPP模式的引入,对城市规划中建设用地面积、人口规划规模与容量、建设用地属性等的城市规划变量的影响;与此同时,考虑到地方政府的政策很大程度上受到是由地方官员,特别是受到作为地方政府党政“一把手”的市委书记和市长的晋升压力和激励的影响,讨论市委书记/市长的晋升压力和激励对PPP模式引入效果的影响。研究发现,在地方政府债务约束下,PPP模式的引入,显著增加城市规划中建设用地面积、人口规划规模与容量、建设用地属性等的城市规划变量;同时,地方政府官员存在利用PPP放大城市建设和规划规模的行为,反映了PPP项目在引入和使用的过程中很大程度上受政府官员的激励的影响。
This paper looks at the Japanese values relating to honesty and loyalty to show how much these ideas overlap. The lack of a conflict of values creates a risk for fraud, which will be shown through an analysis of the scandals of two Japanese companies, Toshiba and Olympus. These scandals shine light on the complexity of the ethical dilemma for the Japanese employees; since their sense of circumstantial honesty encourages them to lie if it maintains the harmony of the group, there is little stopping them from committing the fraud that their superiors asked them to commit.
In a global economy, understanding the ways that values impact business and decisions is important for both interacting with others and anticipating potential conflicts, including those that may result in or indicate potential red flags for fraud.
