I've met inner-city kids who've never seen a blue jay, never seen an oriole -- it's a real spiritual connection," said [Reesa Cowan], who's been working for six years but took a leave of absence to finish her master's thesis at the faculty of architecture. [Sara McGrath]'s research is "one of these groundwork foundations for what robots need to do, if we expect them to be useful in everyday life," she said. "A lot of this low-level stuff is pretty complex. "There's no sedation. With belugas, they're pretty slippery -- they're very elusive, it's turbid water."

- Accounting for a Disappearance: A Contribution to the History of the Value Added Statement in the Uk
Burchell et al's [1985] historical analysis of value added in the UK attributes its rise and fall to societal circumstances which initially encouraged the voluntary disclosure of the Value Added Statement (VAS) by companies and then, following societal change, influenced its disappearance. This paper supplements Burchell et al's thesis by arguing that a fuller explanation for the disappearance of the VAS can be found by also considering the contents of the statement itself.

We suggest that the structural replacement thesis, which proposes that managers in Chinese nonstate-owned enterprises (NSOEs) possess more government ties than managers in Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs), is theoretically incomplete because it considers only the motivation of managers of NSOEs. The extensiveness of social ties is influenced also by the capability and opportunity for social actors to cultivate these social ties. We introduce the structural inducement thesis, which holds that SOE managers have more government ties than do NSOE managers, as an alternative to the structural replacement thesis. Our analysis of 250 Chinese managers' ties supports this structural inducement thesis. The theoretical and applied implications of these findings are discussed.

Both in developed and developing countries, governments of all levels pay much attention to the weak industry-agriculture and try their best to find out the effective way to develop it. Cleaner production in agriculture is the effective way to realize sustainable development in China. According to the behavioral features of local governments and the actuality of agriculture development, the thesis holds that the realization of agricultural cleaner production depends on the interest games between economic bodies and perfect market system. Besides, set up the operation mechanism for agricultural products and factor markets will help the development of cleaner production. Local governments allocate the resources by controlling all kinds of markets. The thesis mainly discusses the local gov...
