房产典当及其立法思考

房产典当,性质上属于营业抵押,是典当行为了确保在当期届满时出当人归还当金本息,对于出当人所有的不转移占有的不动产当物所设定的一种担保;应在未来的《物权法》的“抵押权”中增设“营业抵押权”的一般规定,并出台一部由最高立法机关制定的特别法《典当法》,以具体规定房产典当法律关系。     

马克思产权理论及其先导性再认识

不管学界和实业界如何去推动国企产权制度的重新安排,都仍有必要深挖马克思产权理论,以此来指导我国国企改革,使其沿着社会主义方向前进,更好地为社会主义市场经济服务。     

绿党对宪法基本原则的挑战

绿党是西方兴起的一种新的政治力量,其哲学观是把生态环境利益上升为人类最高利益,并以自然生态环境为国家社会中心的生态中心主义,它的出现带来的是对传统价值观念、经济发展模式的变革性的挑战,对宪法基本原则的挑战也不容忽视。其生态权利之上的价值观对宪法基本原则的挑战表现为人民主权原则的动摇、基本人权原则的错位、权力制约原则的变异和法治原则的化。     

Uncertainty Analysis for Computer Model Projections of Hurricane Losses

Projecting losses associated with hurricanes is a complex and difficult undertaking that is wrought with uncertainties. Hurricane Charley, which struck southwest Florida on August 13, 2004, illustrates the uncertainty of forecasting damages from these storms. Due to shifts in the track and the rapid intensification of the storm, real-time estimates grew from 2 to 3 billion dollars in losses late on August 12 to a peak of 50 billion dollars for a brief time as the storm appeared to be headed for the Tampa Bay area. The storm hit the resort areas of Charlotte Harbor near Punta Gorda and then went on to Orlando in the central part of the state, with early poststorm estimates converging on a damage estimate in the 28 to 31 billion dollars range. Comparable damage to central Florida had not been seen since Hurricane Donna in 1960. The Florida Commission on Hurricane Loss Projection Methodology (FCHLPM) has recognized the role of computer models in projecting losses from hurricanes. The FCHLPM established a professional team to perform onsite (confidential) audits of computer models developed by several different companies in the United States that seek to have their models approved for use in insurance rate filings in Florida. The team's members represent the fields of actuarial science, computer science, meteorology, statistics, and wind and structural engineering. An important part of the auditing process requires uncertainty and sensitivity analyses to be performed with the applicant's proprietary model. To influence future such analyses, an uncertainty and sensitivity analysis has been completed for loss projections arising from use of a Holland B parameter hurricane wind field model. Uncertainty analysis quantifies the expected percentage reduction in the uncertainty of wind speed and loss that is attributable to each of the input variables.     

教育服务理论与学校管理理念转变的思考

以教育服务理论为依据,从经济学角度,阐述了教育服务是教育产品,学校是教育服务产品的生产者和供给者,学生是教育服务产品的消费者和需求者。指出学校应以经营的理念管理学校,以消费者(生源)为本,充分发挥学校教育服务的优势,向市场和消费者提供品牌和特色的优质的教育服务,以吸引更多的消费者。     

西部产业集群发展的制度分析

从制度上看,区域产业集群发展具有自发性或诱致性、以市场制度为基础密切联系而形成核心竞争力、根植性等制度特征。西部产业集群发展,具有优惠的区域政策和制度后发优势,但也面临一定的正式制度和非正式制度约束,如与市场经济相左的思想道德观念、偏重自然资源的路径依赖、地方政府职能的错位、中央投资体制分割,等等。针对这些约束,必须采取相应的制度创新。     

图书附盘的管理和利用

目前国内许多图书馆未能充分发挥图书附盘在文献利用中的价值,问题的关键是在它们的管理上。文章分析了附盘图书所集中的学科和附盘的特点,以及图书馆常用的管理方法,提出了对附盘管理的建议和具体操作方法,以求更好地发挥图书附盘的作用。     

科技发展与人的发展

在社会实践活动中,科学技术引导人在真、善、美三个方面充分展现自己的本性和才能,是人发展与完善自身的内在动力。由于科技发展与人的社会责任、知识成果运用的动机与效果之间存在可能的冲突,科技发展对人的发展也具有否定性影响。必须对科技活动的主体提出自我调适的要求,促进人类健康发展。     

儒、释、道的养生观比较研究

作为我国传统文化的儒学,佛教和道教,均有其各自的养生观。认真总结儒、释、道三家养生文化,取其精华,去其糟粕,不但具有学术理论意义,而且对构筑小康社会,预防疾病、增强人民身心健康、提高生活质量也具有现实借鉴意义。
