The impact of emigration on national development in the Arab region: the case of the Yemen Arab Republic

"The focus of this article is the impact of emigration on national development in labor sending countries experiencing wide-scale emigration, the main contention being that, due to the characteristics of contemporary labor movements among Arab countries, there obtains a contradiction between short term benefits and long term adverse effects. The article briefly defines development, then presents empirical evidence from the Yemen Arab Republic of the negative impact of labor emigration."     

On the limiting properties of social indicators

Characteristics of the population and economic measures that constitute traditional social indicators are compared with more recent “quality of life” measures to demonstrate that social indicators are always value statements at the policy level. The possibility of alternative perspectives is illustrated. It is suggested that an awareness of the assumptions implicit in any given indicator is as important as the data they provide.     

从严整治城口矿业秩序的若干建议

城口县是重庆市的矿产资源大县。境内主要有锰，钡，煤，铅，锌等二十多种矿种。其中锰矿储量为全国五大锰矿床之一；钡矿储量居亚洲之首；煤炭仅发热量在6000大卡以上的储量就达1.5亿吨。当前，城口矿业开采及加工不够规范，秩序比较混乱，无证开采，群挖尹采。     

不同主体股权转让问题探讨

在法律实践中,隐名投资作为一种非常规的投资方式,其所引起的纠纷除了涉及隐名股东与名义持股人内部协议履行的问题,亦有隐名股东、名义持股人因公司经营或股权利益分配导致的与公司或第三人之间的纠纷。本文基于最新的《公司法》司法解释三,对隐名股权的转让问题进行分析;同时,股权基于其财产权的属性可作为夫妻之间的共同财产,但法律和司法解释均未对夫妻之间在离婚阶段难以协商一致时如何认定股权归属和收益归属问题进行规定,本文将对若干可能情况下的该问题进行法理上的阐释。     

Gambling Among Prison Inmates: Patterns and Implications

There is an absence of research on gambling among prison inmates during their incarceration. Little is known about how prisoners organize gambling activities or the potential risks they face from gambling. Similarly, no empirical attention has been given to how correctional institutions respond to inmate gambling. This study employed interviews with 55 male prisoners and self-administered surveys with 159 correctional officers and staff, at two medium security prisons in Ohio. Data were gathered on prevalence and patterns of inmate gambling, perceived hazards of gambling, and perceived institutional responses to prisoner gambling. Findings suggest that inmate gambling is common and constitutes an important feature of the underground economy of prisons, yet little is done to deter or prevent this activity. Suggestions are made for more effective institutional responses.     

Impact of physical activity on activity of daily living in moderate to severe dementia: a critical review

The objectives of this study were to describe the different modalities of physical activity programs designed for moderate to severe dementia and to identify their impact on functional independence in activities of daily living (ADL). A critical review of randomized controlled trials related to the impact of physical activity programs in moderately to severely demented persons on ADL performance and meta-analysis of the identified studies were performed. Among the 303 identified articles, five responded to the selection criteria. Four out of the five studies demonstrated limited methodological quality. In one high-quality study, physical activity programs significantly delayed deterioration of ADL performance. The program components and ADL assessment tools vary widely across studies. Although the proposed treatments have not proven their efficiency in improving the ADL status of the patients, they were able to limit the decline in ADL functioning. Future research is warranted in order to identify clinically relevant modalities for physical activity programs for people with moderate to severe dementia.     

1906-1908年的郑孝胥与预备立宪公会

考虑到我国未来年度的OD分布预测中的路网构成变化、区域经济布局变动、区域经济增长速度差异等一些具有时变性和特殊性因素，采用在“四阶段法”运量预测基础上改进而成的“三阶段法”进行高速铁路短期客运量预测。首先采用组合预测模型进行趋势运量预测，然后采用多元LOGIT模型进行方式分担，最后采用弹性系数诱增模型进行诱增运量预测。以京沪高铁为例，采用“三阶段法”预测了2014年和2015年京沪高铁本线及跨线单向客流量。     

高校师生对中国文化知识的掌握及其英语表达状况研究

随着全球一体化的进程逐步加快,文化交流越来越频繁,在对外文化交流的过程中我们接受了西方文化,但却没有做好中国传统文化知识的传承工作。虽然新的高校英语教学大纲对英语教学中对中国传统文化知识的重视作出了明确的规定,然而在实际教学过程中却并未得到有效的落实,中国传统文化的英语表达前景堪忧。通过对高校英语教师和学生对中国文化知识的掌握及其英语表达状况进行研究,对促进教学改革,推动中国传统文化在对外交流中的传播具有深远的推动作用。     

经济与加拿大的民族社区

根据经济的需要和在不同时期对农民、伐木工人、铁路工人、建筑工人、熟练工人和非熟练工人、职员和专业人员的需求,加拿大的移民政策逐年发生着变化。自从加拿大成为英联邦成员国以来,国家的民族和文化构成情况也发生了很大的变化:1931年 1931年盎格鲁-克尔特人 60％ 40％法兰西人 33％ 27％其他民族 7％ 33％民族加拿大人(ethnic Canadians)在加拿大的发展中曾做出过巨大的贡献,诸如修筑横贯加拿大的铁路,在荒原开辟农场,以及兴建众多的加拿大城市。然而,由于这些工作大都属体力劳动性质,此类贡献也多被埋没。近些年来,随着移民法的改变,许多高级熟练工人来到加拿大,并带来他们宝贵的专业经验。本文即准备从国内和国际两个方面,探讨这种
