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)
本文搜集了全国84家农商行APP数据,定量地从业务覆盖范围、增值服务全面性、易用性、安全性、系统稳定性等五个维度对APP给出综合质量评分,并采用层次分析法给出各农商行竞争力排名。在系统地分析银行竞争力与其APP质量、发布时间、更新次数等相关关系后,总体发现APP质量对银行竞争力至关重要。具体地,排名下降的农商行的年均更新次数与排名变化正相关,也即年均更新次数越多的银行,排名上升越多;而对排名上升的农商行,年均更新次数与排名变化则呈现负相关。竞争力排名上升的农商行,其APP平均发布时间与排名变化呈正相关,而竞争力排名下降的农商行的平均发布时间与排名变化则呈负相关。
进一步地,基于《中国商业银行竞争力报告》中对农商行的排名,本文进一步分析了移动金融科技对不同规模的农商行竞争力排名影响。研究发现:对于资产规模较大(>1000亿元)的农商行,APP年平均更新次数较多的银行,往往竞争力排名有所提高。而对于中等及小资产规模的农商行而言,APP年平均更新次数较多的银行,往往竞争力排名有所下降。对于较大和较小规模的农商行,APP平均发布时间长反而会降低银行竞争力,而对于中等规模的农商行,较长的平均发布时间下,其竞争力会有所提高。
最后,针对本文定量的研究模型和实证数据,本文给出了具体研究结论及展望,并就如何提高农村商业银行竞争力,给出了建议方法以及相关政策性建议。
本文首先认真总结分析了有关上市企业治理结构和盈余管理等方面的历史文献资料,依托当前资本市场上普遍运用的委托代理、内部人控制和契约等理论,系统研究了我国民企上市公司在自身治理结构方面的突出特征以及其对盈余管理方面所构成影响的深层次原理。在此基础上,本文通过2015-2017年我国上市企业数据,基于截面Jones模型对民营企业和非民营企业盈余管理程度进行测算和比较分析,发现民营企业盈余管理程度更高;从四个层面系统研究民企公司自身的治理结构突出特点,设立回归模型论证了民营企业独特的公司治理结构特征对盈余管理程度确实会产生影响;最后,本文进一步利用修正的费尔萨姆一奥尔森估价模型对民营上市公司盈余管理有公司价值的关系进行了验证,发现两者具有显著相关性。
