A queuing/management consideration on Japanese production systems

A single-stage lot/cell production under a Poisson arrival and exponential service in a batch is considered. The three economic queuing models of push and pull types are presented, an economic comparison of push versus pull types is considered, and a strategic management/design consideration to the lot production is given. First, the total expected operating cost is given for the three queuing models including the Omote-Kanban type similar to VMI. Second, the push versus pull system is discussed from a view of setup time, inventory or operating cost, and it is ascertained that the three types are alternative. Finally, a strategic management basis for economic traffic, leadtime setting is given, and discussed by the introduction of production matrix on 2-stage design.     

另类交易系统监管法律问题研究

另类交易系统是证券交易电子化、网络化的产物,它是以互联网为基础,依据特定交易规则,无中介、自动汇聚和撮合众多投资者买卖证券委托指令的电子交易系统,属于场外交易场所的范畴。另类交易系统区别于传统交易所的特征,在于其交易对象的广泛性,交易流程无中介性和高效性,交易规则的非任意性,交易系统与投资者之间关系的特殊性。与美欧相比,我国亦具备建立另类交易系统的市场环境,我国应当鼓励另类交易系统的建立与发展,并从监管目标和基本原则、监管模式与审慎要求等方面着手,科学构建我国的另类交易系统监管法律制度。     

绿营兵"营制总册"管窥

绿营兵营制总册是清代有关绿营兵基本情况的档册记录,目前学术界既无此类文献的研究论著,也较少将其应用到清史研究中.营制总册作为最为原始也颇具权威性的绿营兵资料,是清代政书、史志"军制"、"武备志"等篇目的重要资料来源,对于补充、考辨史志有关绿营兵的记载以及加强研究清史都具有重要意义.     

列维-斯特劳斯的亲属制度理论及布迪厄的批判

亲属制度理论是列维-斯特劳斯结构人类学的核心内容;这一问题的理论基石是以女人为中介的交换,列维-斯特劳斯区分了交换的两种基本形式:即限定性交换和一般性交换;基于这一理论的局限性,法国著名人类学家、社会学家布迪厄对此进行了深刻批判。     

“橱窗系统设计模型”在橱窗设计教学中的应用研究

“橱窗设计与制作”课程是有效应用的实战课程.在橱窗设计中引入针对橱窗设计的“系统设计模型”方法,它通过围绕不同橱窗的展示目标而进行系统的分析设计,这就有效解决了设计者经验不足或仅仅凭借直觉进行创意设计的弊端.同时,在橱窗教学中这一模型方法也让学生能够有法可循、可依,甚至把系统设计方法应用于更广泛的设计领域.     

城市低保制度的研究现状、问题与对策

通过梳理近年来国内学者对城市最低生活保障制度研究的主要论点可知:目前有关低保的研究虽然取得了丰硕的研究成果,但在一定程度上存在理论研究与实际工作脱节的问题,自说自话的现象比较普遍.当前城市低保制度在核定家庭经济状况、形成有效的动态调整机制、维护救助者的尊严和自由、低保工作人员队伍建设等方面还存在着明显的不足.为此,应当规范以家庭经济状况调查为核心的审核制度、建立与促进与就业相关联的动态调整机制、强化以法制为基础的惩戒规范、完善以社会救助体系为目标的配套制度.     

综合治理出生性别比偏高工作的考核评估——基于6省24县市区的调研分析

通过对全国6个省24个县市区综合治理出生性别比考核评估工作进展情况的实地调研发现,针对考核评估,各地已经建立起了统计监测和考核评估制度,还对考核方案进行了内容指标、保障机制、考核方式方面的创新性改进。同时也发现,国家级和省、市级的考核评估方案还存在顶层设计、目标任务、数据依据、考核指标设计等不符合实际的问题。据此提出了完善考核指标体系、改进考核工作机制、创新考核方式方法、提高考核实际效果四项建议。     

城市最低生活保障退出机制研究

低保退出机制是城市最低生活保障制度的重要组成部分,它的建立对于完善城市最低生活保障制度意义重大。但目前低保退出机制相对滞后,制度运行中的负激励效应、低保标准较低、福利依赖、收入核定难是其主要困境所在。改革福利扣减制,实行负所得税制,建立分类救助模式与脱贫扶助体系,完善家庭收入核定手段,对低保对象实施动态管理等是构建我国城市最低生活保障退出机制的有效途径。     

Postmodern feminism: a theoretical framework for a field unit with women in jail

This article presents a postmodern, feminist framework as a foundation for a social work student field unit with women inmates in the corrections system. Feminist pedagogical methods were developed and implemented for this field unit and, once trained, the students utilized feminist social work skills within the jail environment. The case study illustrates the field unit design, student learning processes, and examples of student interventions. In addition to becoming skillful clinicians, student interns became social change agents within the corrections system. Implications for micro, meso, and macro levels of social work practice are discussed.     

Poverty and disabled households in the People’s Republic of China: experiences with a new rural health insurance scheme

This article discusses what in international literature has commonly been termed the ‘vicious circle’ of poverty and disability. Our aim is to shed light on recent policies that attempt to break the vicious circle in rural areas in the People’s Republic of China. Drawing on data produced from fieldwork conducted in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, People’s Republic of China, our approach is to explore experiences that households with people with disabilities have had with a newly implemented rural health insurance reform. The introduction of this reform is significant as lack of insurance and high healthcare expenses are currently perceived as crucial to causing poverty in rural China. We show that people with disabilities have been able to access this new insurance. At the same time, as currently practised, the new insurance does not prevent poor households from sinking deeper into poverty when using healthcare services as healthcare expenses increase.
