In this study, the significance and content of prospecting information of sedimentary-metamorphic type iron deposit are expounded. Ziyuan-3 high spatial resolution satellite data are used to extract the prospecting information of sedimentary-metamorphic type iron deposit in taxkorgan area in Xinjiang. By using the pertinent methods of image processing, the information of ore-bearing bed, ore-control structures have been extracted, and based on the ferric altered mineral spectrum characteristics, the ratio method also has been used to extract iron mineral anomalies in study area. Based on the ore-control structure, ore-bearing rocks and ferric anomalies information, 2 remote sensing prospecting targets have been circled. Our research have laid foundation for the evaluation of mineral resources in this region, and also broadened the thinking for domestic high resolution image scale application in geology and mineral resources.

Income smoothing is a longstanding practice under the more general category of earnings management. As the name suggests, it consists of smoothing out the fluctuations of the income series. This article examines the association between the ownership and control structure, level of corporate governance and origin of capital (foreign or domestic) of Brazilian companies on their propensity to smooth income. Using a sample of nonfinancial firms with shares traded on the São Paulo Stock Exchange (Bovespa) at the end of 2007, we performed covariance analysis based on data from the preceding ten years, where the dependent variable was the index proposed by Eckel, an empirical proxy for smoothing. The results indicate that the more concentrated the shareholding and control structures of Brazilian firms are, both according to overall capital and voting capital, the more intensely they tend to smooth earnings to favor the interests of the majority shareholder. The results also show that this effect is less pronounced for firms with enhanced corporate governance levels and those with foreign capital.

To learn a programming language, the students have to understand the logical flow of the commands as well as the syntax. The logical flow might be more difficult to understand when compared with a syntax which can detect easily. The primary flow of commands or the control structures includes the sequence, condition or selection, and iteration. The students construct the program flowchart by using these control structure. They also have to understand the result of each command execution, step by step. In this research, we propose the technique for developing the learning tool (AR flowchart) to simulate the result of the commands in program flowchart by using augmented reality (AR), so the learners can visualize the result. With this tool, the students can construct a program flowchart as a series of commands by using AR markers. The result of the execution of these commands can be displayed so the students can see whether the logic of the program is correct or not. The design of this tool aims at increasing student engagement and helping them to understand program logic better. The evaluation of the concept results by the group of university students supports our propose.

The paper describes control structure for driving system of a leg in six-legged robot vehicle. It can walk using locked wheels or it can roll on unlocked wheels. The leg joints are driven by hydraulic actuating units. Two different control structures are analyzed – control of a hydraulic cylinder through a mechanical gear and a structure for control of two hydraulic cylinders through a double eccentric gear mechanism. For control of the actuating units a conventional cascade structure with PI controllers completed by pre-compensation of controlled and observed variables is used. The performance of the structure has been proved on experimental stand and the experimental results are reported.

The non-financial benefits of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives remain an understudied controversy in the literature.  We draw on elements of stakeholder theory to investigate the effect of multiple CSR initiatives on job satisfaction for a widespread set of medium-sized Canadian companies.  We explore this relationship further by focusing on the moderating effects of governance control structures.  Data on these variables is captured through the lens of CFO/controller perceptions because of their intimate governance gatekeeping over firms’ control structure/systems.  In this respect, we assume that CFOs are among the instrumental drivers in advancing an organization’s unfolding social consciousness.  Research findings in this study reveal the criticality of examining this linkage within the context of the performance-based versus conformance-based dimensions of an organization’s corporate governance control structure – two governance dimensions championed by the International Federation of Accountants (2009).  Results for low/high levels of performance-based control structures manifest different interaction configurations of statistically significant CSR variables that heighten job satisfaction.  However, significant interaction effects under low/high levels featuring compliance-based control structures are not forthcoming, despite the presence of significant main effects in the CSR/job satisfaction relationship.  These findings offer firms a more comprehensive practical understanding of benefits associated with investments in particular CSR strategies while grooming specific control structures, as well as offering researchers new control variables to model in the CSR domain.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of internal control structures, governance, and financial risk analysis on the effectiveness of credit distribution to savings and loan cooperatives in Aceh Besar District. The data used in this study are primary data using a quantitative approach. This study uses purposive sampling method in determining the sample, and there are 10 cooperatives that become samples that meet the criteria.Based on the research results, it shows that the structure of internal control, governance, and financial risk analysis together has a significant effect on the effectiveness of lending. The magnitude of the influence of internal control, governance and financial risk analysis on the effectiveness of lending was 63.8%. The internal control structure has a significant effect on the effectiveness of lending. Governance does not have a significant effect on the effectiveness of lending. Financial risk analysis has no significant effect on the effectiveness of lending
