The peculiarity of progressive succession in the damaged territories of the Yamburg gas condensate field is considered. It is established that the reclamation of technogenic disturbed landscapes is accelerated by the use of a complex of agro technical measures, including the selection of species of perennial grasses and the optimization of mineral nutrition. Studies carried out in the Yamburg gas condensate field in areas lacking of the biologically active layer have developed elements for soil and vegetation reclamation.

<p><em>In recent years, with the rapid development of the media, an increasing number of corporations and even government agencies are using the new format known as the micro film as a means of advertising</em><em> and</em><em> marketing. In this study, we </em><em>took</em><em> the micro films produced by the Taipei City Government </em><em>as objects of analysis to</em><em> investigate the image of the city as constructed in and produced by these films. Furthermore, </em><em>in this study, </em><em>the symbol of image in </em><em>three such micro films </em><em>was </em><em>studied: Love@Taipei, My Micro Tour of Taipei, and Happily Ever After. It was found that in these films, the characteristics of the city of Taipei have </em><em>been </em><em>presented accurately and successfully </em><em>by means of</em><em> the [appropriate selection of] celebrity performers, the romance narratives used, and the lively presentation of these films. Therefore, these films have foregrounded </em><em>an</em><em> image of Taipei that is free, friendly, diverse, and progressive; furthermore, they have successfully conveyed the idea that “Taipei is a city that is positive and capable of outstanding achievements”</em><em>.</em><em> These films, designed to attract audiences, have been made with great skill and portray little elements of the government-run campaigns they are actually part of, thus making them even more entertaining for viewers.</em><em></em></p>

Estimation of the pace and scale of economic development of enterprises requires the selection of indicators of this development. These indicators include the indicator of the market value of the enterprise, which characterizes all the main current and predictive characteristics of both the enterprise itself and its external environment in a generalizing form. In addition, the criterion for maximizing the market value of the enterprise can be applied in the process of developing measures aimed at ensuring the further economic development of the enterprise. Taking into account the aforementioned, the purpose of this article is to study the possibilities of using the enterprise value as a summary indicator of its economic development. The peculiarities of application of three basic approaches to the assessment of enterprise value (cost, comparative and profitable approaches) are analyzed. It is shown in the article that the main difference between the above-mentioned approaches is a different array of information used in their application. The main factors that influence the market value of the enterprise according to the income approach are determined. The authors paid particular attention to the issue of harmonization of the results obtained using different approaches to assessing the enterprise value. It is possible to combine certain aspects of cost, comparative and income approaches to assess the enterprise value as an indicator of its economic development. For this purpose, the authors proposed to use the following indicators: coefficient of adjustment of net profit of enterprises taking into account its possible future changes, indicator of the maximum profitability of assets of enterprises in the industry and the indicator of the total initial value of the available assets of the enterprise under assessment. The article presents the method of choosing the best option for increasing the market value of the enterprise in the process of its economic development. This method is based on the application of the indicator of optimal level of return on assets, which corresponds to the best option for the implementation of measures aimed at increasing the market value of the enterprise. In turn, the value of this indicator is determined by the optimal amounts of income, expenses and investments in the development of the enterprise. Using in the practice of enterprises of the proposed approaches to assess their value will increase the degree of justification of organizational and technical measures, the implementation of which involves ensuring the economic development of enterprises.

AbstractWe test the relevance of the selection theory of litigation in a contemporary, civil law setting, using Chinese judicial data that span 25 years regarding lawsuits against government agencies. Civil law systems may be characterized by lower costs of litigation and lower rates of settlement than the U.S. legal system, and therefore the presence of selection effects cannot be assumed. We show that selection effects are indeed manifest in Chinese administrative litigation, and suggest that this may be explained by hidden or intangible litigation costs. Our test for selection effects builds on the approach of previous U.S. studies and potentially allows the identification of selection effects to help improve inferences from decided cases. Finally, we examine patterns of settlement and plaintiff wins in pre-litigation administrative appeals in China, and do not find sufficient evidence for selection effects in this process. This could potentially be explained if most appellants pursuing administrative appeals do not intend to litigate.

This paper examines the processes and outcomes of a post-disaster housing assistance program delivered by an NGO, Islamic Relief Bangladesh (ISRB), in one of the villages worst affected by Cyclone Aila in Bangladesh in 2009. The findings, based on both qualitative and quantitative data collected in the field, reveal that the selection of the most suitable beneficiaries for housing aid was subject to undue influence from both elected and unelected leaders. A broad tendency on the part of ISRB to deliver houses through a top-down approach left little room for meaningful consultation with local people. The recipients thus felt excluded and became passive recipients. Although ISRB adopted a ‘build back better’ principle in the delivery of the housing assistance, the capacity of the new houses to withstand a severe cyclone remains limited. Despite some unhappiness with the process through which the housing was delivered, and dissatisfaction with certain aspects of the houses, most recipients were satisfied overall as they would have been unable to build houses of the same quality by themselves due to their poverty. These findings should be of direct value for relevant government agencies, NGOs, and donor agencies in the future delivery of more successful outcomes in post-disaster contexts in Bangladesh and elsewhere.
