Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), as an important mean to establish a standardized local government debt financing mechanism, relieve the pressure of local government debt, resolve the fund shortage of urbanization and promote supply-side structural reform, has increasingly become the main mode and source of China's infrastructure investment and financing. It has made an important contribution to the increase of supply scale, quality and efficiency in public services and infrastructures. But with the rapid promotion and widespread, local government provided illegal guarantees of fixed income and repurchase, or beared the loss of principal, issued Local Government Financing Vehicles(LGFVs) debts, and even disguised government purchasing services, which have make the PPPs alienated into a new financing vehicles. This paper defines the concept and scope of local government implicit debt, analyzes the tool characteristics of PPPs, the necessary and sufficient conditions for debt governance function of PPPs, and the formation mechanism, manifestation and evolution path of local government implicit debt. Then several countermeasures of implicit debt governance and risk prevention strategies under PPPs are put forward, including clarifying the relationship between the government and the market, promoting PPPs debt governance through win-win cooperation, improving PPPs laws and regulations, strengthening PPPs performance management, and improving PPPs risk sharing mechanism.

Improved highland Maize is a new and promising crop gradually becoming important in Ethiopian highlands. Its production is rapidly increasing where it has been a minor crop in the past. The empirical evidences on the determinants of agricultural technology adoption and their intensity of adoption are very limited. In this paper, determinants of adoption and intensity of adoption of improved highland maize varieties were investigated by using descriptive statistics and econometric model (Tobit). Two stage sampling procedure was followed in order to draw 150 sample respondents. The model result revealed that variables such as farm size, household income, access to credit, contact with extension agents, participation in training, and field day were positively and significantly influenced whereas, age of household and market distance negatively influenced adoption and intensity of use of improved highland maize varieties in the study area. Therefore, government policies and intervention on adoption and intensity use of agricultural technology should pay attention and move along with those variables significantly influencing adoption and intensity of use of new agricultural technology.

Due to the disordered characteristic and strong randomness of China's stock market, the typical data mining algorithms currently used to analyze and forecast the stock have imprecise prediction outcomes. In order to solve this problem, based on the industry rotation cycle theory, this paper constructs a new stock selection model combining Decision Tree C5.0 Algorithm and factor analysis. Industry rotation cycle theory aims to analyze the development trend of various industries to find promising industries as initial stock pool. According to this principle, this paper selects four industries and the A-share stocks of these industries are used as initial stock pool. This paper builds a stock index system consisting of six effective factors based on the factor analysis of stocks financial indicators and technical indicators. Then Decision Tree C5.0 Algorithm is presented to realize the prediction of stock returns and the classification of stocks. The empirical test of the proposed stock selection model, using the data from the second and the third quarter of 2017 in China A-share stock market, demonstrates that this model has significant difference in the classification accuracy between low-yielding stocks and high-yielding stocks in that case classification accuracy shows a trend opposite against stock return rate. In a conclusion, this model can effectively help investors to avoid risks and make rational investment but has little effect on obtaining excess return.

Wait management is very important subject in service sectors because people are moving towards services due to globalization and now it has become common phenomena. Dining at restaurants has become a trend in today’s world due to increasing demand of family’s as well as time constraints. In developed countries, there is much focus on service sectors and it is producing half revenues ($1.258 trillion) of countries like USA, UK, and Japan. However, in developing countries, a service sector has not yet generated much revenue because it seems difficult for developing countries to handle it due to different demands and niche of customers. In current study, 400 questionnaires were distributed to respondents and 300 were received back. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 17 and results revealed that if good environment is provided at waiting area of restaurant lobbies, then waiting customer behavior can be managed and consequently customer satisfaction. Our results also revealed that physical environment has a positive relationship with customer satisfaction and when this relationship is checked through mediating variable (customer behavior during wait), it also shows positive relationship. On the contrary, social environment has a negative relationship with customer satisfaction and when this relationship is checked through mediating variable (customer behavior during wait), it also shows negative relationship.
等待管理是服务行业中非常重要的课题，因为人们由于全球化而转向服务，现在它已经成为一种普遍现象。由于家庭需求的增加以及时间的限制，在餐馆吃饭已经成为当今世界的一种趋势。在发达国家，服务业非常受关注，它创造了美国、英国和日本等国家一半的收入(1.258万亿美元)。然而，在发展中国家，服务部门还没有产生多少收入，因为发展中国家由于不同的需求和客户利基，似乎很难处理它。本次研究共发放问卷400份，回收问卷300份。使用SPSS version 17对数据进行分析，结果表明，如果在餐厅大堂的等候区提供良好的环境，那么可以管理等候的顾客行为，从而提高顾客满意度。我们的研究结果还表明，物理环境与顾客满意度之间存在正相关关系，当通过中介变量(顾客等待行为)来检验这种关系时，它也表现出正相关关系。相反，社会环境与顾客满意呈负向关系，当通过中介变量(顾客等待行为)检验这种关系时，也表现为负向关系。

The value of risk project is usually uncertain, so venture investor must make investment decision based on prior estimation of future value of risk projects. This paper constructs a portfolio optimization model of risk projects considering the psychological characteristics of venture investors, and proposes a Bayesian method to deal with the uncertainty of value estimation in project portfolio selection, and utilizes Monte Carlo method to simulate the model as a linear integer programming problem. The study finds that, compared with portfolio selection based directly on ex ante value estimation, Bayesian modeling of project estimates of project value uncertainty can provide more accurate value estimates and use the resulting revised estimates to make portfolio decisions can help to select a project portfolio with a higher expected utility, eliminate the expected interval between the expected pre-expected utility and the expected utility of post-implementation, and reduce the degree of disappointment of venture investor's expected decision-making.

When audiences are increasingly bored with mandatory advertisements for television programs, branding is vitally important to the company. Therefore, a new type of advertising named product placement has emerged. Compared with traditional advertisements, such advertisements can reduce the audience's resistance to advertisements. However, in real life, consumers are not satisfied with such kind of advertising due to various reasons.
