Destination attractiveness is an important stream of literature. Australia has been recognized as one of the world's most attractive destinations. This study looked into international students' perceptions of Australia as an attractive international tourism destination as well as their travel intention. A sample of 252 Chinese and Indian international students participated in the study. Students' perceived destination attractiveness and how it influenced their travel intention, pleasure of travel and place attachment were investigated. The study also looked into perception differences between Chinese and Indian students using t-test and hierarchical regressions.
In 2009, China launched a new health care reform as it endeavoured to develop a tiered system of disease diagnosis and treatment to promote the integration of medical resources. This was important for improving service capacity and building medical alliances that would eventually lead to improved health service utilisation efficiency. However, while the 2009 reform aimed to provide universal health insurance coverage to all citizens, its overall effect on health service utilisation efficiency remains unclear. We aimed to examine the new health care reform’s mixed effect by applying a longitudinal study using China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) data and the difference-in-difference (DID) method to estimate the health reform’s impact on health insurance coverage rate. Then, we studied whether the increase in health insurance coverage rate affected health service utilisation efficiency in China. Our results showed that the increase in insurance coverage rate has indeed made expensive medical services available to low-income individuals. However, it also increased the likelihood of use of hospitals rather than primary care facilities, since there is more insurance cover for outpatient visits, which has led to an increased demand for quality services. This effect has generated a negative impact on health care utilisation which directly pertains to systemic inefficiency. This study thus indicates that China’s latest health reform requires further policies to improve its overall efficiency.
A simple, facile, and efficient procedure for deoximation of oximes to the corresponding ketones and aldehydes with hexachlorodisilane (Si 2 Cl 6 ) in the presence of SiO 2 from good to high yields is described. Apparently, SiO 2 greatly increases the reaction rate and product yield. The proposed procedure is more advantageous than those described previously due to its higher efficiency, milder reaction conditions, shorter reaction, and easier work-up.
This data describes the raw and processed information such as salary, power, and age of the CEO and the chairman between 2009 and 2018 in China's listed firms. The data set contains the data of variables based on the characteristic of the firm, personal, team, and supervision. The dissimilarities and similarities of the characteristics between the chairman and the CEO are the core of this data set. The dissimilarities refer to individual and team differences. Individual differences refer to differences in age, gender, tenure, experience, shareholding, and salary of the chairman and CEO, while team differences refer to differences in team size and the standard deviation of the management board members’ age. The similarities refer to joint tenure and family relations between the chairman and CEO. These variables can be used to estimate the impact of chair-CEO age dissimilarity on the relationship between CEO power and chair-CEO pay gap of the Chinese listed firms through binary probit or multinomial regression.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
