The Axiology of Consciousness in Mocombeian Consciousness Field Theory

This work explores the axiology of consciousness in Mocombe’s consciousness field in the material world.The paper critically assesses Mocombe’s consciousness field theory(CFT)within the larger body of contemporary ontological debates regarding the nature,origin,and constitution of consciousness in the universe.The work goes on to highlight the manifestation of Mocombe’s consciousness field in the material resource framework that is the earth,and the nature and origins of ethics and values.

Family Ownership Type and the Intemational Involvement of SMEs： Empirical Study of Agency Theory in East Java Indonesia

This paper briefly draws the dimension of small, micro and medium enterprises＇ （SMEs） behavior in terms of internationalization strategy based on the ownership structure among SMEs in East Java. The finding is very interesting when there is no ownership structure variation, so the decision to choose international involvement could not be supported. Also, the scale determination is not becoming constraint of SMEs in East Java to involve internationally, especially thought export strategy. However, several aspects are considered to control the export behavioral dimension which is research and development （R＆D） and sales, significantly. The result shows that there still are other elements except ownership type could impact internationalization strategy choices of SMEs in East Java.

Consciousness Field Theory and Antihuman Psychology

Against behaviorism,humanism,and cognitive psychology,this work explores Mocombe’s antihuman psychology as a product of his consciousness field theory.The paper critically assesses Mocombe’s consciousness field theory within the larger body of contemporary ontological debates regarding the nature,origin,and constitution of consciousness,especially human consciousness,vis-à-vis their relations to the psychological theories of behaviorism,humanism,and cognitivism,concluding that consciousness field theory posits an alternative psychological theory of the mind,i.e.,antihuman psychology,to behaviorist,humanist,and cognitivist conceptions of the mind.

From the Consciousness Field to the Constitution of Society

This work explores the phenomenological structural basis of Mocombe’s consciousness field theory.The paper critically assesses Mocombe’s consciousness field theory within the larger body of contemporary ontological debates regarding the nature,origin,and constitution of consciousness in the universe.The work goes on to highlight how human consciousness and society are constituted from Mocombe’s consciousness field to societal social structure,which Mocombe calls social class language game.

When q theory meets large losses risks and agency conflicts

We incorporate large losses risks into the DeM arzo et al.(2012) model of dynamic agency and the q theory of investment.The large losses risks induce losses costs and losses arising from agency conflicts during the large losses prevention process.Both of them reduce firm’s value,distort investment policy and generate a deeper wedge between the marginal and average q.In addition,we study the implementation of the contract to enhance the practical utility of our model.The agent optimally manages the firm’s cash flow and treats the cash reservation and credit line as the firm’s financial slack,and hedges the productivity shocks and large losses shocks via futures and insurance contracts,respectively.

Classical Theory of Advance of Perihelion of Mercury with Velocity Dependent Inertial and Gravitational Masses

It is shown that Mercury's motion of the perihelion around the Sun, which is believed to be explicable quantitatively only by general relativity, can be fully understood within the frame of the dynamics of special relativity. It is only necessary to take into consideration the relativistic dependence of the planet's inertial and gravitational masses on its velocity (relative to the Sun) in the conservation equations for energy, and linear and angular momenta in the gravitational field. The physical Problem is reduced to a singular, nonlinear differential equation, which is solved numerically for the planet Mercury. The advance of the perihelion of Mercury is shown to be = 42.087' for a period of 100 years, which is in agreement with the as- tronomical observations and the result (by analytical approximations) of general relativity.

Organizational Trouble Shooting through Integration between the Theory of the Restrictions Thinking Process and Lean Tools

The theory of constraints thinking process, created by Israeli physicist Eliyahu M. Goldratt, has emerged as a tool for achieving competitive advantage. Many researches also focused on the application of lean thinking developed by Toyota and proposed by Ohno. This philosophy has been proven to be effective in several production processes. This paper aims to propose a method of problem solving through the integration of theory of constraints thinking process and the principles of lean production. As a tool for problem identification, the method defends the use of current reality tree and, to solve problems, the lean thinking tools, proposed by Picchi. The developed method was implemented in a contractor. The research methodology was research-action. Among the results, there was a realistic diagnosis about the core problems in company. According to this, the core problem of the contractor is “the lack of commitment of manpower” that results in the main problem “the financial loss”. The principle of perfection was verbalized as a proposal to solve the problems and the tools to be implemented for solving problems were “commitment of senior management to employees” and “simplicity in communication”.

Complexity Theory, Emergence, and Translation： Educating Translators as Agents of Human Interaction in a Complex Society

This paper sets out to argue the relevance for translation studies of complexity theory. It endeavours to argue, though briefly, that translation can be conceptualized as an emergent concept. It then indicates how theories of emergence in social studies provide new scope to theorise agency. Lastly, it considers the implications of the conceptualization for translator education. The arguments put forward in this paper lay the foundation for a philosophy of translation, i.e., a meta-theory of translation in which translation is viewed both as emerging from particular complex human interactions such as language and as being co-determined by complex contextual factors.

LBOs in Theory and Practice, Learning Outcomes of a Crisis

The purpose of this paper is to examine whether or not a financial crisis has an impact on the use of financial tools like MBO （management buy-outs）. For a long time LBO （leveraged buyout） has being considered as an easy and tax saving way to transfer the property rights of SMEs companies. Financial markets speculation on the same time used this tool in a non reasonable way and transformed it on a bubble increasing furthermore the financial crisis. In a certain extend this paper proves that what happened is a remake of what happened in the late 1990. From a theoretical point of view the article proves that the LBO＇s are just a partial answer to the agency problems very present to the literature.

Exploring the Developmental Stages of Amharic Nominal and Verbal Gender:Evidence for processability theory

The purpose of this article is twofold.First,it explores the order of the development of nominal and verbal gender of Amharic,which is one of the Ethio-Semitic languages.Second,it provides empirical evidence for the typological plausibility of processability theory(PT).In fact,PT has been tested in typologically different languages(e.g.,English,Italian,and Japan);however,it does not have any validation from Ethiopian languages in general and Ethio-Semitic languages in particular yet.Relevant data was collected from sixteen respondents via picture description tasks,short storytelling,interviews,story re-telling,and spot the difference tasks.Distributional analysis was conducted for the analysis,and the point of emergence of target structures was determined using the emergence criteria.Accordingly,the result shows that the development of gender assignment is compatible with processability theory’s predictions in that lexical procedure precedes phrasal procedure,which is followed by S-procedure.Moreover,the masculine gender emerged earlier than its feminine counterpart at all developmental stages.However,subject agreement markers in pro-drop context emerged at stage two preceding subject verb agreement.This finding is against processability theory’s claim that suggests subject agreement markers only emerge at stage four of the processability hierarchy disregarding their stages of development in pro-drop context in particular.

New Public Key Cryptosystems from Combinatorial Group Theory

External direct product of some low layer groups such as braid groups and general Artin groups, with a kind of special group action on it, provides a secure cryptographic computation platform, which can keep secure in the quantum computing epoch. Three hard problems on this new platform, Subgroup Root Problem, Multi-variant Subgroup Root Problem and Subgroup Action Problem are presented and well analyzed, which all have no relations with conjugacy. New secure public key encryption system and key agreement protocol are designed based on these hard problems. The new cryptosystems can be implemented in a general group environment other than in braid or Artin groups.

The ＂Production＂ of Accounting Information Between Regulatory and Free Market Approach： An （Eternally） Open Issue

Accounting information has gained utmost importance over the years, and it now plays a vital role in our society. Indeed, the trends of a global economy, especially one relying on a capital market-based financial system, are greatly influenced by reliable accounting information. However, it is sometimes difficult to assess the ＂reliability＂ of such information, given the clear differences in the needs and goals of its different users. In this respect, the possible ways to guarantee the appropriateness of the accounting information provided to users doubtlessly deserve a careful investigation. The second half of the 1970s can be considered as the starting point of a debate, within the Anglo-Saxon accounting literature, concerning the most effective methods to provide users with accounting data effectively meeting their very specific needs. In this context, two antithetical schools of thought developed： （1） free market approach; and （2） regulatory approach. Although it is possible to state that accounting regulation has now become a concrete reality both inside and outside the Anglo-Saxon accounting context, after more than halfa century, its efficacy is still an open issue.

Do Company Directors Underestimate the Adoption of Corporate Governance Provisions？ A Survey Approach

This paper examines whether company directors underestimate the adoption of corporate governance provisions within Ghanaian listed firms. Using a survey approach, the respondents, who were company executives and non-executive directors with knowledge of the Ghanaian Code and its provisions, regard the code as a benchmark for good corporate governance practices within Ghanaian listed firms. They also report some improvement in the standard of corporate governance in their companies since the introduction of the Code. Many of the company directors indicated their preparedness to comply with further corporate governance requirements, such as the adoption of a formal nomination committee something not been currently included in the Ghanaian Code. However, the directors noted that they receive inadequate support from the regulatory and institutional bodies for the implementation of the Ghanaian Code provisions. Many of the directors also supported the review of the Ghanaian Code by an independent committee. With regard to the adoption of the Ghanaian Code and its influence on firm performance, the respondents indicated that the adoption of the specific governance provisions in the area of chief executive officer （CEO）/chairman roles separation, having a balance of executive and non-executive directors on the board, the establishment of audit and remuneration committees, and the full adoption of the Ghanaian Code provisions were all influential in determining firm performance. They, however, did not support the adoption of the board size provision as influential to firm performance. This raises questions about the usefulness of the range of board size as recommended by the Ghanaian Code.

Collective Action and Networks in Civil Society： The Case of South Korea＇s Protest Movement

The Free Trade Agreement （FTA） was nearly ratified by United States and South Korea countries＇ administrations and can be described as a network of transnational trade. However, the candlelight protests have been held that network was set between the individuals of the South Korean society as a reaction against the FTA and Korean government, The network was the results of a new method of amassing power which comparing past protest in South Korea, and it was able to deal a severe blow to the ongoing FTA negotiations. In this paper, we will be using the actor-network theory （ANT） set forth by Law （1992） and Latour （2005） to explain Korean candlelight protest situations. A key claim is that ANT must range beyond studies of science and technology to other ＂social＂ subjects because it raises much broader questions about the construction of the social and nature. Therefore, this paper focused more on how the public opinion was aggregate in the social process, rather than the result. And we can see that the role of non-human actors is highly important. Through this attempt the citizen can reveal undisclosed information and get power to have communication with the government.

地域之学与区域治理:江右王门的静修与践履

在明代思想史上,江右儒学是阳明学的重要代表。自周敦颐以来,江右儒者围绕“静”论,在本体意义与实践价值上均有突破,尤其是对“静”与“敬”的关系以及践履方式上,表现出体用一致的特点。江右学者积极倡行乡约,注重躬行践履。这说明,江右王门在发展地域之学和优化区域治理上两者兼备。这个例子为反思明清儒学转型,提供了新角度。

表见代理证明责任分配论略

《民诉法解释》第91条以规范说为蓝本确立了我国证明责任分配的基本原则,而规范说旨在对实体规范进行分类的基础上确立证明责任的分配。《民法典》第172条规定了表见代理下相对人请求被代理人履行合同内容的请求权基础,奠定了表见代理证明责任分配的基准,但相关司法解释的规定存在不完善及矛盾之处。从实现制度设立的意旨出发,立足于相关实体规范所内含的风险分配,并基于体系化解释,应将被代理人可归责性作为表见代理的构成要件之一;对于可归责性与善意且无过失的证明责任分配,应遵循规范说的分配路径,明确可归责性属于权利妨碍规范、善意且无过失属于权利发生规范,分别由被代理人与相对人承担证明责任。

活动理论视角下少数民族学生英语学习能动性研究

近年来,中国少数民族学生英语学习的研究日益增多,但对于少数民族学生如何发挥能动性应对英语学习中的挑战我们了解甚少。本研究基于活动理论,采用个案研究方法,通过收集学生日志、访谈和文本资料,并结合教师访谈数据,探究了四名大学一年级维吾尔族学生英语学习能动性的表现及其影响因素。研究发现,维吾尔族学生英语学习能动性主要表现在以下方面:反思与汉族学生差距,调整英语学习方法;适应全英文授课模式和英文展示的课堂规则;借助汉语语言,利用英语学习应用软件和互联网等工具;寻求教师、同伴和其他共同体成员的帮助。研究还发现,维吾尔族学生英语学习能动性受语言水平、学习动机和英语学习经历等个体因素影响。此外,国家和学校的政策支持、教师与同伴的帮助,以及家人的情感支持等也对他们的英语学习能动性产生了影响。本研究对高校少数民族学生的英语教学具有一定启示意义。

多重委托代理关系下城市社区治理的困境与优化 ——以上海市M区W小区为例

社区治理中的多元主体之间构成了复杂的多重委托代理关系,业委会、居委会、物业等群体性组织的合法性来自业主权利的让渡与授予,本是公众民意和公信力的体现,但在城市社区治理实践中却存在着多重困境。以W小区为案例,梳理参与社区治理的多元主体的内在行动机理和机制的形成过程,发现由于信息的不对称、代理关系的权责不清、治理目标的偏移等原因,在治理实践过程中“委托—代理”机制未能充分发挥其预期功能。针对社区治理中“委托—代理”机制所暴露出来的问题,应该通过用法治化破解社区利益冲突的难题、重塑基层政府在社区治理中的角色定位以及为主体赋能以自治实现共治等破解方法,在形成内部聚合力的基础上开展多元主体间的互动合作,最终实现城市社区治理的良性互动。
