This paper presents an innovative transportation demand management concept involving congestion pricing synergistically combined with incentivized on-demand ridesharing. An exploratory evaluation of the concept was undertaken using sketch-planning tools developed by the Federal Highway Administration. The analysis suggests that the concept could be financially viable, achieve significant economic benefits, and potentially generate surplus revenues that could be sufficient to address transportation funding gaps.

This work investigates the role and contribution of external auditing as practised in Malaysian society during the forty year period from independence in 1957 to just before the onset of Asian Financial Crisis in 1997.  It applies the political economic theory introduced by Tinker (1980) and refined by Cooper & Sherer (1984), which emphasises the social relations aspects of professional activity rather than economic forces alone. In a case study format where qualitative data were gathered mainly from primary and secondary source materials, the study has found that the function of auditing in Malaysian society in most cases is devoid of any essence of mission; instead it is created, shaped and changed by the pressures which give rise to its development over time. The largely insignificant role that it serves is intertwined with the contexts in which it operates.

Application of wastewater for irrigation is one of the useful approaches to alleviate the shortage of freshwater resources. Although successful implementation of wastewater-use projects depends upon the support of farmers who are affected by the project, few studies have addressed the farmers' attitude towards wastewater use and little is known about Iranian farmers' perception. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate farmers' attitude towards wastewater use. It was also intended to detect drivers of perceived economic benefits, and health and environmental risks of wastewater use. A survey of 108 farmers of Shiraz County, selected through a simple random sampling method, identified a number of significant knowledge gaps that currently exist among wastewater users. Furthermore, farmers articulated opposing attitudes for irrigating with wastewater. While farmers realized the contribution of wastewater to fertilize the soil and its reliability as a water resource, they were concerned about its negative impacts on health and environment. Regression analysis illustrated that a complex set of factors significantly influenced perceived risks of wastewater use, among which knowledge, closeness to wastewater canal and value orientation are the most determinant factors. Some recommendations are offered to promote farmers' awareness and attitude about wastewater and reduce its negative impacts.

Статья посвящена решению проблемы деструктивного влияния профессиональной деятельности сотрудников УИС на их личность, ярким выражением которого выступают такие феномены, как профессиональная деформация и эмоциональное выгорание сотрудников. Актуальность проблемы обусловливается, во-первых, обозначившейся тенденцией ухода сотрудников УИС из правоохранительных органов в целом и ведомства в частности; во-вторых, незначительным, но снижением качества выполнения сотрудниками УИС служебных обязанностей. В основе решения проблемы авторы видят психологический подход. С этой целью в начале исследования раскрыты причины возникновения профессиональной деформации и эмоционального выгорания, среди которых интенсивное общение с криминальной средой; повышенный риск, ожидание опасности; психические и физические нагрузки; повышенная ответственность; большой объем властных полномочий в условиях малоэффективного контроля; неукомплектованность кадров; смещение ценностных аспектов; дефекты развития ценностно-ориентационной, мотивационной, эмоционально-волевой сфер. Далее на основе анализа литературы, а также по результатам эмпирического исследования авторы выдвигают гипотезу о существующей корреляционной зависимости между эмоциональным выгоранием и показателями эмоционального интеллекта. На основе выводов, к которым приходят авторы в поисках путей профилактики профессиональной деформации и эмоционального выгорания, даются рекомендации, акцентирующие внимание на учете психологических особенностей личности при поведении профессионального отбора и развитии эмоционального интеллекта как фактора избегания синдрома эмоционального выгорания сотрудников УИС.
