SMALL-SCALE MINING (Lives at risk in the Philippine Gold Mines) INTRODUCTION Gold is the number one mineral produced by the Philippines in value terms. Although total local production was low relative to world production‚ it ranked 2nd to Africa in gold production per unit land area in 1988 and ranked 29th as top gold producer in 2002(Israel and Asirot 2002). In the year 2002–2007‚ the Philippines’ gold production increased by 8.2%. This contributed an average of 2% gross domestic product (GDP)

Distinguish between diminishing returns and economies of scale (15 marks) In Business Economics‚ the short run is defined as the concept that within a certain period of time‚ in the future‚ at least one input is fixed while others are variable and the long run is defined as a period of time in which all factors of production and costs are variable. The law of diminishing returns is a short run concept‚ which states that increasing successive units of a variable factor to a fixed factor

Internal economies of scale arise when firms increase their scale of production. Hence‚ they incur lower average costs of production‚ either through specialization or other factors. When average costs fall‚ giving the price of the good to be constant‚ profit margins of these firms will be increased. Thus‚ the individual firm benefits from internal economies of scale. External economies of scale arise when all firms in an industry experience decreasing average costs of production‚ which can be

measurements obtained with the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) for evaluation of preterm high risk infants. The present study included two scales i.e. the Alberta infant motor scale and the Peabody developmental motor scale – 2 (PDMS – 2) on high risk infants at 3 months‚ 6 months and 12 months of age. For the purpose of comparing the AIMS scale‚ the PDMS -2 scale was used as the gold standard of measure. The sensitivity and specificity of the PDMS 2 scale is 36.1%‚ 93.8% at 3 months respectively.

Mindfulness‚ for this study‚ was measured utilizing The Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS)‚ where athletes rated how often they had experiences such as‚ “I find it difficult to stay focused on what’s happening in the present (Gooding & Gardner 2009).” The athletes free throw percentages were then tracked over the course of the following season. Results indicated that levels of mindfulness significantly predicted game free throw percentage. Therefore‚ the more mindful the athlete‚ the higher

The Interpretation of Human Disgust‚ in Relation to the Disgust Scale Abstract This report was based on prior work by Rozin et al‚ in relation to how it is that humans perceive disgust. The objectives were to conduct an individual measures design experiment in order to see how disgust intensity varied between the sub scales used by Rozin‚ Haidt‚ & McCauley’s Disgust Scale (2000). The Participants used were mainly University undergraduates. This was done with the use of a questionnaire

Q4) what are the advantages and disadvantages to a firm of operating on a large scale? Economies of scale fall under microeconomics and are the cost advantages a business obtains due to expansion. As scale is increased they cause a producers average cost per unit to fall. Microeconomics (from Greek prefix micro- meaning "small" and "economics") is a branch of economics in which you study the behaviour of how the individual firms make decisions to allocate limited resources. Normally‚ it applies
