  • Scale Deformities in Three Species of the Genus Garra (Actinopterygii: Cyprinidae)
    Scale deformities in three species of the genus Garra (Actinopterygii: Cyprinidae) Halimeh Zareian1,2, Hamid Reza Esmaeili1, Ali Gholamhosseini1* 1. Developmental Biosystematics Research Laboratory, Zoology Section, Department of Biology, School of Science, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran 2. Zand Institute of Higher Education, Shiraz, Iran *Corresponding author’s E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Different types of scale deformities have been reported from fishes worldwide, however there is no available study on the abnormal scales in the genus Garra except for G. variabilis. In the present study, scale deformities of three species of Garra including G. rufa, G. persica and Garra sp. from 6 sites of the Iranian drainages were examined and described. Different deformations were observed in focus, anterior, posterior and lateral sides of scales in the studied species, showing both slight and severe abnormalities. The occurrence of twin scales was one of the most interesting cases among various types of scale deformities observed on G. persica and Garra sp. Genetic disorders, diseases (including infection and lesions), developmental anomalies, incomplete regeneration after wounding, physical, and chemical environmental variables including pollutions might be considered as potential factors for scale abnormalities remained to be investigated. Keywords: Garra, Scale morphology, Taxonomy, Abnormal scale, Iranian drainage basins. INTRODUCTION Among the morphological abnormalities reported in fishes (e.g. Poppe et al. 1997; Corrales

  • Securities Commission Organization and Stock Exchange Development in Vietnam and Laos
    Southeast Asian Journal of Economics 8(2), December 2020: 129-158 Received: 4 July 2019 Revised: 12 November 2019 Accepted: 27 January 2020 Securities Commission Organization and Stock Exchange Development in Vietnam and Laos Somvixay Chanthavong Graduate School of Asian and African Area Studies, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract This paper investigates stock exchange evolution in Vietnam and Laos through reviewing previous literature, synthesizing the capital market structure, and evaluating the capacity of the regulatory agencies, with an aim to provide a big picture of how the stock markets have developed. This study uses OLS and Tobit regression analysis to explain the associated indicators of stock exchange development in the selected countries. I find that the stock exchange in Vietnam has undergone dramatic development. However, inadequacy of securities law, low free-float of shares, and an undiversified investor base are reported as challenges. The stock exchange in Laos is still in its initial stages of development and is confronted with various challenges, including limited and undiversified products of listed companies, low liquidity, and a small in- vestor base. Keywords: Stock exchange, capital market, securities commission, Vietnam, Laos. 130 • Southeast Asian Journal of Economics 8(2), December 2020 1. Introduction The economic system in every country differs depending on local history and perceptions of national direction platforms, especially in socialist countries. These states, which have one party and call themselves socialist nations, can be different and have unique characteristics in terms of political, economic, and social management systems. There is no exception with the two existing socialist country members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), namely the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (hereafter Vietnam) and the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (hereafter Laos).

  • Corporate Governance in Lao PDR
    OECD INVESTMENT POLICY REVIEWS: LAO PDR © OECD 2017 Chapter 4 Corporate governance in Lao PDR This chapter provides an overview corporate governance framework in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR). It addresses ongoing reforms to the ownership and governance of state-owned enterprises and challenges in expanding the capital market. OECD INVESTMENT POLICY REVIEWS: LAO PDR © OECD 2017 133 4. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE IN LAO PDR Summary Corporate governance concerns the structure framing the relationships among a company’s executive management, board of directors, shareholders, and stakeholders. From the perspective of modernising legal and regulatory frameworks for investment, effective corporate governance critically affects individual firm behaviour as well as broader macroeconomic activity. For emerging market economies, improving corporate governance can reinforce property rights, reduce transaction costs, and lower the cost of capital, which together can improve investor confidence. The Asian financial crisis in 1997 acted as a significant catalyst for improving corporate governance frameworks in Asia with the aim of building well-functioning and stable financial markets. While the Lao authorities have made progress in recent years in the area of corporate governance, the overall legal and regulatory corporate governance framework remains challenging, with scattered inconsistencies and at times limited awareness by market participants. This section evaluates the current and evolving institutional framework for corporate governance in Lao PDR, using as a benchmark the G20/OECD Principles of Corporate Governance and the OECD Guidelines on Corporate Governance of State-owned Enterprises (Box 4.1).1 Developing a corporate governance framework Since 1986, Lao PDR has undertaken important reforms in its transition to a market economy.

  • Settlement Patterns, Chiefdom Variability, and the Development of Early States in North China
    JOURNAL OF ANTHROPOLOGICAL ARCHAEOLOGY 15, 237±288 (1996) ARTICLE NO. 0010 Settlement Patterns, Chiefdom Variability, and the Development of Early States in North China LI LIU School of Archaeology, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia Received June 12, 1995; revision received May 17, 1996; accepted May 26, 1996 In the third millennium B.C., the Longshan culture in the Central Plains of northern China was the crucial matrix in which the ®rst states evolved from the basis of earlier Neolithic societies. By adopting the theoretical concept of the chiefdom and by employing the methods of settlement archaeology, especially regional settlement hierarchy and rank-size analysis, this paper introduces a new approach to research on the Longshan culture and to inquiring about the development of the early states in China. Three models of regional settlement pattern correlating to different types of chiefdom systems are identi®ed. These are: (1) the centripetal regional system in circumscribed regions representing the most complex chiefdom organizations, (2) the centrifugal regional system in semi-circumscribed regions indicating less integrated chiefdom organization, and (3) the decentral- ized regional system in noncircumscribed regions implying competing and the least complex chief- dom organizations. Both external and internal factors, including geographical condition, climatic ¯uctuation, Yellow River's changing course, population movement, and intergroup con¯ict, played important roles in the development of complex societies in the Longshan culture. As in many cultures in other parts of the world, the early states in China emerged from a system of competing chiefdoms, which was characterized by intensive intergroup con¯ict and frequent shifting of political centers.
