In this paper, we describe a framework developed by synthesizing and combining scholarship from the fields of equity in mathematics education and effective integration of technology in the classroom. This framework allows researchers, educators, and teachers to examine the potential of technology-enhanced mathematics lessons to advance equity along six identified dimensions. We share a case study of a research lesson that applied this framework and implemented technology as an equity lever by allowing students to explore social justice issues using a suite of technology tools. Implications for mathematics teacher educators and researchers are discussed as ways the framework can be used to promote the equitable integration of technology.

It has been suggested that equity theory a social psychological theory concerned with the fairness in casual relationships should be applicable to marital relationships. This study describes the development of the scale for measuring perception of equity which measure the level of equity in marital relationships among Korean couples. PES(Perception of Equity Scale) is composed of two subscales; detailed measure of equity(DME) and global measure of equity(GME). The PES which include items from two areas of concern for intimates-pschological-emotional concern day-to-day concern-are describes. As results of test reliability of areas of DME range from .86 to .88 and reliability of GME is .92. And there are primarily evidences of construct validity of PES. Therefore PES is very reasonable scale to measure of equity/inequity perception in married couples. Finally analyzing of the level of equity in this sample husbands and wives has generally equitable relationships with their partn rs. Another findings suggest that husbands are overbenefited of their patners through marriage whereas wives are not.

The objective of this study is to analyze the relationships among support for farm village development work, farm village's brand equity and social and economic performance. The questionnaire was performed for 380 villagers in Jeollabuk-do Province. The surveyed data was analyzed by structural equation model analysis and Sobel test. Support for farm village development work such as living environment improvement project, income foundation creation project, rural tourism facilities project, and regional competency education project showed statistically significant positive effects on the farm village's brand equity. The farm village's brand equity also showed a statistically significant positive effect on the social and economic performance. The support for farm village development work such as living environment improvement project, village landscape improvement project, income foundation creation project, rural tourism facilities project, and regional competency education project showed no statistically significant effects on the social and economic performance. But, they showed statistically significant effects on the social and economic performance in indirect manner with the mediating effect of the farm village's brand equity. In this study, the effect factors on the farm village's brand equity and social and economic performance was verified in farm village development strategy, and then, it is meaningful to present the role and importance of support for farm village development work.

Companies are now using SNS as an online marketing channel and increasingly using it for customer relationship management(CRM). Although companies are actively using social media for marketing, language study brands in South Korea are using social media marketing in widely different ways. Among various components of social media marketing activities, this study analyzed the effects of informativeness, content suitability, and recency of social media marketing on consumers from the perspectives of brand equity and purchase intent. In the results, components of social media marketing activities had significant effects on brand equity, in the order of recency, content suitability, and informativeness. Second, brand equity and consumer purchase intent had significant correlation. And having a child also influenced purchase intent. The results of this study can be used as basic data for research on social media marketing of language schools and propose a theoretical direction for future research in the field as there is little academic data related to the subject.

This study exemines the roles of corporate social activity (CSR) and executive compensation structure on the pricing of seasoned equity offerings (SEOs) with special focus on the role of CSR in reducing the level of information asymmetry between managers and future shareholders of issuing firms through SEOs. This study also investigates the interaction between executive compensation structure and CSR on the discounting of SEOs. We use a sample of 2,102 seasoned equity offerings of U.S. firms with CSR scores from 1995 to 2015 in our OLS fixed effect regression analysis. The results show that issuing firms with high CSR are more likely to expericence a lower degree of the SEO discount. The results also document a positive association between CSR and a high proportion of equity-based compensation of issuing firms' executives. The findings of this paper confirm that CSR attenuates the impact of information asymmetry and the pre-SEO price uncertainty on the pricing of the offers and hence the SEO discount. Furthermore, CSR reinforces the impact of executive firm-related wealth on the discounting of seasoned equity offerings. It appears that firm-related wealth motivates managers to actively engage in reducing information asymmetry activities before SEOs, thereby decreasing the SEO discount.

The recent expansion of large cities for economic benefits has worsened cultural inequalities within urban areas, eroding unique cultural identities and social values and deepening mistrust between regions. To tackle this, the idea of creating cultural cities is gaining traction, involving urban branding and cultural elements to foster balanced local cultural development. Current research primarily concentrates on case analysis in cultural cities, lacking sufficient studies examining the interplay of factors through empirical analysis, This study investigated whether Cultural City Formation Factors, which are resources of a cultural city, have a positive effect on City Brand Equity, City Innovativeness, Brand Personality, and Behavior Intention. For this study, questionnaires were collected from 310 people who continuously experience culture and arts in Seoul, and empirical analysis was conducted on 292 copies of them. Consequently, a significant impact was observed among the factors influencing cultural city formation, city brand equity, city innovativeness, brand personality, and behavioral intention. Moreover, it was verified that city brand equity, city innovativeness, and brand personality positively contributed to mediating effects as well as sequential mediating effects. It is expected that the results of this study will be used to establish the foundation for effective urban management and the development of strategies for creating cultural cities.

This study extends research into whether disclosure of corporate and financial information is associated with firms' costs of equity capital. This study sets out to examine empirically the determinants of corporate disclosure in the annual reports of 37 largest and most liquid firms listed on Kazakhstan Stock Exchange (KASE) in Kazakhstan. It also reports the results of the association between company-specific characteristics and disclosure of the sample companies. Based on the analysis of existing empirical research, the disclosure index has been constructed and regression analysis of the influence of the disclosure index on the cost of equity capital has been conducted. The obtained results show that the received findings correlate with foreign empirical studies, and the disclosure index in this sample has a negative impact on the cost of equity capital. Using cost of equity capital estimates derived from capital asset pricing model, we find that firms with higher levels of financial transparency are associated with significantly lower costs of equity capital. Economic theory assumes that by increasing the level of corporate reporting, firms not only increase their stock market liquidity, but also decrease the investors' estimation risk, arising from uncertainty about future returns and payout distributions. The results show that firms on the Kazakhstan market can reduce their cost of equity capital by increasing the level of their voluntary corporate disclosures.
