Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors affecting the evaluation of the quality of voluntary disclosure, given that the factors used in internal research due to having an external source and focusing on the number of disclosures may not be an appropriate criterion for measuring the quality of information disclosure, so, it is necessary to provide new influencing factors on the evaluation of voluntary disclosure quality. In this study, first nine factors influencing the evaluation of voluntary disclosure quality were obtained through semi-structured interviews with 17 accounting and auditing elites. Then the effect of the nine factors on the quality of voluntary disclosure was statistically analyzed. The required information was collected from 384 questionnaires electronically through distribution in social networking groups between professors and accounting experts. Data analysis was performed by SPSS24 and AMOS24 software using structural equation modeling. Among the factors determined by the elite, factors such as access to voluntary information, form of voluntary disclosure, voluntary disclosure, attention to the type of industry and information users, having qualitative information characteristics, analytical disclosure and future disclosure had a significant and positive impact on the evaluation of voluntary disclosure. In addition, providing comparative information and non-financial statistics did not have a significant effect on the evaluation of the quality of voluntary disclosure

the influence of the neo-platonic concept of poetic imagination on wordsworth’s poetry

بر اساس نظریه افلاطون در باره شعر خلاقیت هنری مورد انتقاد قرار گرفته است. نظریه کلی در مورد شعر این بود که شعر از ظواهرتقلید میکند و نه حقیقت. چون سایه ای از حقیقت است. اما با پیدایش فلسفه نو افلاطونی، انتقاتات قبلی در مورد شعر و شاعری اصلاح شد. فلوطین در کتاب انئید، اساس خلق هنری را بر محور مُثل افلاطونی قرار داد. وی باور داشت که هنر مندان در خلق آثار هنری، تحت تاثیر مُثل افلاطونی بوده و عوالمی ...
