...Kuperberg, Arielle. "Westernization and Women's Bodies: An Analysis of Chinese Magazines" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association, Atlanta Hilton Hotel, Atlanta, GA, Aug 16, 2003. Web. The article says that, in recent decades, Chinese culture has seen an influx of Western influence, following the opening of China to the "West" in 1976. This study examines the resulting Westernization of Chinese culture, specifically the trend toward the Westernization of gender and sexuality ideals. This is accomplished by conducting a forty year longitudinal content analysis of two Chinese magazines, "Women of China" and "Popular Cinema," by which it is determined if a trend toward Western ideals of gender and sexuality is demonstrated, by the portrayal of women bodies on the covers of these magazines. Results indicate that there is a clear trend in Chinese magazines toward Western ideals of gender and sexuality. This is demonstrated by a number of indicators. Chinese magazines in more recent years demonstrate an increase in the depiction rate of thinner models in conjunction with a decrease in the depiction rate of heavier models, a trend which indicates a movement towards bringing models in line with ideals found in Western magazines. Additionally, women on the covers of Chinese magazines in more recent years demonstrate an increased depiction rate of the superior palpebral fold of the eyelid, a feature often obtained through a surgical procedure...

...Brothers: In its last reported financial statements before it went bankrupt, Lehman Brothers reported a loss of $US 2.4 billion for the first six months ended May 31, 2008 (vs. a net income of $US 2.4 billion for the first six months ended May 31, 2007). The shift of $US 4.8 billion in net income is largely driven by a dramatic fall of $US 8.5 billion in Lehman’s revenues from principal transactions, which include realized and unrealized gains or losses from financial instruments and other inventory positions owned. A significant portion of the downward shift in principal transactions revenues is actually explained by unrealized losses of $US 1.6 billion in the first semester of 2008 vs. unrealized gains of $US 200 million in the first semester of 2007. Thus, accounting at fair value for some financial assets amplified Lehman's downward earnings performance. Hence, it can be put forward that FVA, through its magnifying impact on earnings volatility, may have contributed to aggravate investors', regulators' and governments' perceptions with respect to the severity of the crisis, itself characterized by record volatility in the prices of many securities and goods. On a related note, the increased volatility brought forward by FVA is conducive to the use of equity-based compensation, especially stock options, which value is then enhanced (according to the Black-Scholes model, volatility is one of the key inputs in option valuation). Prior research 此前的研究 suggests that there is a strong...

...Wealth and happiness 1. Give an outline of the views on the relation between wealth and happiness presented in texts 1 and 2. Text 1: There are no connection between true happiness and income. It does not matter how many personal setbacks you endure, if you for an example does not have a successful marriage. If your life only is based on how many career triumph you record, you are always trying to reach another step further on your way to the top, which means that you will remain unfulfilled. An overall happiness is about being happy in the daily activities. Of course people gets happy, when they are taking a step up the salary ladder, but overall happiness cannot be found in climbing the income scale. Poor nations are going to be happier as they become middle-class nations, but once they are going to be used to the new and better conditions as follows a middle-class nation, their happiness falls once again. They are now trying to reach even better conditions, which means they will never find any kind of satisfaction. Text 2: People are happier when they spend money on social experiences instead of material objects. People today have a tendency to buy expensive clothing, new expensive cell phones or new cars. The problem is that there is a disadvantage in buying luxury goods, in form of an endless cycle of trying to outdo the neighbours all the time. For an example if the neighbour just bought a new car, you must buy a better one yourself. The alternative...

Razmanova Branch of «Gazprom VNIIGAZ LLC» in Ukhta, Ukhta, Komi Republic, Russia grtara2011@yandex.ru DOI: 10.12731/2227-930X-2013-2-5 This paper puts forward a hypothesis explaining the nature of integration processes in the modern economy; it proposes the idea of corporate competitive energy capacity, which is understood as the company’s combined intellectual and material capital; and gives a formalized presentation of the company’s optimal state of equilibrium. It is suggested that the integration of companies with intellectual and material components of different levels does not always result in an increase in value. JEL Codes: D21, G32, G34. Keywords: intellectual capital, material capital, integration processes, companies’ competitive energy capacity. Introduction The development of an evolutionary trend in corporate analysis in the last quarter of the 20th century, mainly dealt with in the works of foreign scholars’ [17, p. 777–795; 2, p. 141–151; 11, p. 388; 1, p. 79–100; 10, p. 416; 18, p. 79–91; 9, p. 95–120] was brought about by the emergence of post-industrial economies in developed countries. The growing role of knowledge and the rapid expansion of markets for commodities and factors of production contributed to intangible assets becoming a basis for competitive differentiation between companies in many sectors of the economy.
