Abstract:
Financial accounting standards (FASs) are frequently changed by formal amendment. Frequent amendment imposes costs upon the users of these standards. Research into amendments and the amendment process is strikingly absent. A better understanding of what is amended and how often such amendments occur may facilitate a reduction in the frequency of such amendments enabling a corresponding reduction in the associated costs. This study examines a sample of 567 amendments to FASs. Classical information retrieval techniques are applied to establish whether meaningfully related clusters of amendments

AbstractThis introduction to our special issue on ‘Constitutional Legitimacy and Amendments’ presents a framework for a more nuanced understanding of how constitutional change is contested, moving beyond the conventional notion of ‘unconstitutional’ constitutional amendments. We advocate for a clearer distinction between legality and legitimacy when analysing contestation over constitutional change, arguing that focusing exclusively on legality without addressing legitimacy risks oversimplifying constitutional debates and overlooking questions of broader political and social acceptance.

We examined all amendment documents for mines undergoing provincial EA in BC from 2002 to 2020. Of the 23 approved mines, 15 (65%) requested a total of 49 amendments, of which 98% were approv

Copper (Cu)-based fungicides have been an important tool against disease in viticulture since the 19th century. However, their prolonged use can lead to Cu accumulation in the soil and negatively affect soil microbiology and plant growth. The application of biochar (BC)-based amendments is a promising mitigation strategy, due to BC’s longevity in the soil and its potential to complex Cu. This study investigated temporal changes in the efficiency of various compost- and BC-based amendments to immobilize Cu in a calcareous and a slightly acidic Austrian vineyard soil.

The current study examined the effects of both phosphorus- and nitrogen-enriched biochars on the dynamics of both macro and micronutrients in the sandy soil and leaf lettuce grown thereon.
