  • The Role of Knowledge and Environmental Values on Consumer Beliefs, Attitude, and Purchase Intention Toward Leather Products
    The Role of Knowledge and Environmental Values on Consumer Beliefs, Attitude, and Purchase Intention Toward Leather Products AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Elizabeth S. Becker for the degree of Master of Science in Design and Human Environment presented on June 11, 2014 Title: The Role of Knowledge and Environmental Values on Consumer Beliefs, Attitude, and Purchase Intention Toward Leather Products Abstract approved: Hsiou-Lien Chen Brigitte Cluver Globally, it is estimated that over 2,518,200 tons of hides and skins were exported in the year 2011 alone, with an estimated world production yield of 23 billion square feet of finished leather (FA0, 2011; Mwinyihija, 2011). While some manufacturers have adopted eco-friendly production methods, most tanneries still practice the old-fashioned techniques, which can create negative impacts on the environment and the health of industry employees due to the generation of solid (e.g., chromium salts) and liquid (e.g., untreated water) waste full of toxic chemicals (Iyer, & Mastorakis, 2009). While consumer behaviors and their purchase intentions related to their beliefs have been widely studied, researchers have not investigated consumer beliefs and attitude regarding leather production and whether their environmental values and knowledge impact their beliefs about leather products, attitudes towards purchasing leather products, and intentions to purchase leather products. To fill in a gap in the current research on consumer behavior and using the Theory of Reasoned Action (Fishbein, 1967), Dickson’s (2000) extension of the theory and Dunlap’s (2008) New Ecological Paradigm as a guide, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether exposure to information regarding the environmental and health impact of leather production would ultimately change consumers’ beliefs, attitudes and intentions to purchase leather products.

  • Get Reactive in System 96!
    Get Reactive in System 96! Uroboros has created two unique glass formulas for System 96 that are designed to create an interface color, or a reac on, when melted against certain other colors. This occurs when ions from the two adjacent glasses migrate and mingle when the gl asses become hot and ß uid. Given the right glass chemistry, the comingled ions form a very thin colored line, or reac on. Since our formulas react to create a no ceably reddish hue we named them Red Reac ves: as in Red Reac ve Transparent, and Red Reac ve Opal. The primary ingredient needed in a glass to generate a reac on color with our Reac ve glass is Copper. Copper is present in many blue and blue-green glass colors, but in some cases in too low a concentra on to create a no ceable reac on. For simplicity, all System 96 colors have been graded for their poten al to react into three categories: Strong, Medium, and Mild. See them all listed in the chart on the back of this page. You will Þ nd that the intensity of the reac on color will get stronger with longer, ho er, or repeat Þ rings. This is because the copper ions have more me to mingle with their friendly reac ve partners in the adjacent glass. The chart rankings are based on a typical single Þ ring cycle. You could get a Medium reac on from a color graded as Mild by Þ ring it ho er, or Þ ring mul ple mes.

    Knife Rights, Inc. and Knife Rights Foundation, Inc. (together “Knife Rights”) respectfully offer the following comments in opposition to the proposed rulemaking revising the rule for the African elephant promulgated under § 4(d) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (“ESA”) (50 C.F.R. 17.40(e)) by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (“the Agency”). Docket No. FWS–HQ–IA–2013–0091; 96300–1671–0000–R4 (80 Fed. Reg. 45154, July 29, 2015). Knife Rights represents America's millions of knife owners, knife collectors, knifemakers, knife artisans (including scrimshaw artists and engravers) and suppliers to knifemakers and knife artisans. As written, the proposed rule will expose many individuals and businesses to criminal liability for activities that are integral to the legitimate ownership, investment, collection, repair, manufacture, crafting and production of knives. Even where such activities may not be directly regulated by the proposed rule, its terms are so vague and confusing that it would undoubtedly lead to excessive self-regulation and chill harmless and lawful conduct. The Agency’s proposed revisions to the rule for the African Elephant under section 4(d) of the ESA (“the proposed rule”) must be withdrawn, or in the alternative, significantly amended to address these terminal defects: (1) Violations of the Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”) (Pub. L. 79–404, 60 Stat. 237) and 5 U.S.C. § 605(b) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (“RFA”); (2) Violation of the Federal Data Quality Act (aka Information Quality Act) (“DQA”/”IQA”) (Pub. L. 106–554, § 515); (3) Violation of Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (“SBREFA”)(Pub.

Jewelry is the lens through which we focus our examination. The emotional power of jewelry incorporating gold is due as much to the metal itself as to the artistry of the piece. The quality of the metal and its value has long been assured by a specialized professional community, one aspect of our inquiry. More recently, the notion of "value" has expanded to reflect Kimberly McDonald, One-of-a-Kind the costs of mining, and, we consider as well the journey Signature Geode Cuff set in 18 kt.
