Drawing on the example of the Imperial Household Department, this essay offers a reflection on the cultural practices of Qing governance. It argues that a reading of the Qing state’s mobilization of material resources through an economic lens reveals only part of the story. The classification of objects and the underlying material epistemologies did not merely represent a concern with calculating monetary value; they also served as an ordering mechanism through which the ruling elite visualized the subjects of the empire. The examples provided in the essay illustrate some of the ways in which the Qing state produced structural resources (such as systems of classification) to manage its imperial and colonial expansion.

Cloud computing is the most important technology at the present time, in terms of reducing applications costs and makes them more scalable and flexible. As the cloud currency is based on building virtualization technology, so it can secure a large-scale environment with limited security capacity such as the cloud. Where, Malicious activities lead the attackers to penetrate virtualization technologies that endanger the infrastructure, and then enabling attacker access to other virtual machines which running on the same vulnerable device. The proposed work in this paper is to review and discuss the attacks and intrusions that allow a malicious virtual machine (VM) to penetrate hypervisor, especially the technologies that malicious virtual machines work on, to steal more than their allocated quota from material resources, and the use of side channels to steal data and Passing buffer barriers between virtual machines. This paper is based on the Security Study of Cloud Hypervisors and classification of vulnerabilities, security issues, and possible solutions that virtual machines are exposed to. Therefore, we aim to provide researchers, academics, and industry with a better understanding of all attacks and defense mechanisms to protect cloud security. and work on building a new security architecture in a virtual technology based on hypervisor to protect and ensure the security of the cloud.

Oligarchy portrait occurs in the process of coal mining in East Kalimantan. Many of the power-holding elites are involved in collaborating to become a mining resource chain in East Kalimantan. The Sexi Killer film by WatchDoc Documentary provides a clear picture of how the elite was involved in becoming coal mining players in East Kalimantan. Coal mining does not necessarily bring prosperity to the surrounding community but instead brings about various environmental disasters. Several names of the ruling elite were dragged into the circle of mining business practices. Jefri A. Winters' oligarchic theory can explain why this portrait can occur. Through authority, the elites control material resources to increase wealth and maintain their social position. Democracy seems to have slipped into an oligarchic circle. The elites control material resources to increase wealth and maintain their social position. The oligarchy seen in the Soeharto era did not just disappear. Oligarchy develops in a different form. The oligarchy during the Soeharto era was a sultanic oligarchy, now it has transformed into an oligarchy of collective rulers.

The essential characteristics of alternative financial instruments that can be involved in the development of human-centered business are substantiated as the theoretical background within our article. The peculiarities and classification of alternative investments in the context of strengthening human-centric business are substantiated. The key parameters of attracting financial resources through different types of alternative investments are identified. The article provides the analysis of social bonds’ issuing process for human development and the structural components of the mechanism of social bonds’ implementation. Different forms of social bonds’ manifestation depending on the specifics of their use at the national level are considered. The process of implementing the mechanism of social bonds is considered as the complex of the following components, namely: material resources of investors who are interested in solving social problems; approved at the state or regional level program of coordination of efforts aimed at solving social problems; the obligation of public authorities or specialized funds to make payments to investors for social goals’ achieving. A matrix of mezzanine financing characteristics is constructed, where a comparative characteristic of mezzanine financing, direct investments and debt financing is given. Examples of the use of Islamic finance instruments that have a human-centric spectrum of action are given. Conclusions on the specifics of the use of alternative financial instruments at the global level are provided. The potential of alternative investment development in Ukraine is defined.

In every country, regional social concepts are of significance in the political environment. In Indonesia, about 40% of the population are ethnic Javanese. Accordingly, their cultural concepts bear a considerable influence on the political map and presidential elections. As a large community, the Javanese hold on to longstanding historical notions of the position of the ruler and the wong cilik or commoner in the mechanics of governance and governmental administration. In Javanese social stratification, the ruler and the people are conceptualised and positioned in different ways compared with governance in modern democratic societies. Two broad social levels can be distinguished the wong cilik, consisting of peasants and the city lower classes, and the priyayi (or ruling elite and high class society). They can be somehow compared with the traditional classification of the proletariat or the working class and the bourgeois, the holders of the means of production. Both have their own social and economic life but have an interdependent relationship of exchanging services and goods. This relationship is known in Java as kawula and gusti, a cultural “patron-client” relation, containing supporting reciprocally based on authority.

The Impact

The term “race” refers to groups of people who have differences and similarities in biological traits deemed by society to be socially significant, meaning that people treat other people differently because of them. Meanwhile, ethnicity refers to shared cultural practices, perspectives, and distinctions that set apart one group of people from another. Ethnic differences are not inherited; they are learned. When racial or ethnic groups merge in a political movement as a form of establishing a distinct political unit, then such groups can be termed nations that may be seen as representing beliefs in nationalism. Race and ethnicity are linked with nationality particularly in cases involving transnational migration or colonial expansion. Anthropologists and historians, following the modernist understanding of ethnicity, see nations and nationalism as developing with the rise of the modern state system. They culminated in the rise of “nation-states,” in which the presumptive boundaries of the nation coincided with state boundaries. Thus, the notion of ethnicity, like race and nation, developed in the context of European colonial expansion, when mercantilism and capitalism were promoting global movements of populations at the same time that state boundaries were being more clearly and rigidly defined. Theories about the relation between race, ethnicity, and nationality are also linked to more general ideas about the impact of genomics on social life—ideas that often refer to the growing “geneticization” of social life.

Enterprise Budgets

Spatial linear programming studies in agriculture require establishment of a land resource base so representative enterprise budgets can be constructed to reflect productivity and limitations of each region's agricultural land. To relate the land base to budgeting procedures requires an economic classification of agricultural soils. Ideally, this classification would group together those soils requiring similar cultural practices and having the same yield capabilities. Costs and returns can then be computed for selected agricultural enterprises within each classification. Technical information on agronomically based soil classifications is available through agricultural experiment station reports and the Soil Conservation Service. These reports give an abundance of detailed physical and chemical soil data on a county basis.Because technical data are extensive, a problem exists in translating this information into economic groupings suitable for use in constructing budgets. Economic classification of soils for a spatial study should be pragmatic but detailed enough to ensure a meaningful linkage of enterprise budgets to the soil.

A classification of theoretical approaches in military-historical anthropology is proposed. The authors note that social constructivism prevails in English-language historiography as a whole, while in Russian studies an existential approach does. It is shown that the socio-cultural direction and the phenomenology of the front-line experience have recently begun to play an increasing role. It is concluded that a theoretical analysis of the differences between these approaches allows not only to identify their strengths and problematic sides, but also to outline the prospects for interaction between them. The authors note that the most promising today is the setting for the participation of representatives of the academic community in joint cultural practices of representing the front-line experience with combatants, which makes it possible to make the dialogue between the phenomenology of front-line experience and the socio-cultural approach the most productive. It is argued that within the framework of such a dialogue, the question of the relationship between normative social structures and local practices should not be reduced to a previously known answer. It is emphasized that it makes sense not to level out or radically absolutize the theoretical tension between the indicated approaches, but to work it out — to look for points of practical interaction and modification of existing strategies for comprehending the past.

The Cost

According to the accounting and management accounting, personnel costs are the second largest in terms of volume after material resources in the cost of goods and services. In this connection, the analysis of personnel costs and the adoption of well-founded managerial decisions for effective planning and development remain the priority for companies. The presence of only an accounting (statistical) approach to cost management does not allow you to determine the entire set of hidden costs associated with personnel management. The article compares the accounting and management approaches to the accounting and analysis of personnel costs, provides a management classification of costs for targeted and functional purposes, on the basis of which general and private HR-budgets are formed, followed by an assessment of the effectiveness of using planned costs. The lack of an administrative approach to the accounting of personnel costs in the organization leads to their substantial underestimation, to their impersonal consideration in the composition of the organization’s total expenses, which ultimately reduces the profit indicators and deforms the strategic attitudes of the organization

Circulation Of Knowledge

During the century of colonial expansion by the Iberian monarchies, the presence of the Church alongside the colonizers was not just a logical continuation of the medieval idea of the good prince who was advised and accompanied by men of faith. It also underlined the political dimension of the ‘spiritual conquest’ and the equally political dimension of the cultural practices accompanying it. There are numerous works that have emphasized this with regard to the American continents in particular, where the connection between the forces present, which quickly led to the destruction and subjugation of the local populations, brought about Spanish colonial domination over large swathes of the ‘West Indies’. Those scholars who have concentrated on the ‘East Indies’, and China in particular, have emphasized acculturation or accommodation, highlighting the cultural rather than the political dimension of contact. This article explores the significant asymmetries in the understanding of humankind developed by the missionaries in their analyses of the Americas and the East Indies. These asymmetries stemmed largely from their distinct roles and functions in the process of colonial or imperial contact. I argue that these asymmetries obscure our understanding of what missionaries contributed to the global circulation of knowledge of lands and peoples new to Europeans in the 16th and 17th centuries, in part by defining ‘savagery’ and locating it mostly in the ‘West Indies’.
