Risk and its Management in Post-Financial Crisis Hong Kong

In the 1970s and up until the financial crisis occurred in the late 1990s, Hong Kong prospered in a relatively stable social, economic and political context. Since the financial crisis, however, its population has been increasingly exposed to risk: there has been job uncertainty and decreasing capacity for self‐reliance, leading to a growing reliance on public welfare and on families at a time when both are under pressure. The old welfare policies, unable to cope with the new risks, have been replaced by neo‐liberal reforms, redistributing the roles and responsibilities of the individual and the state, with a greater burden falling on the former. Individuals are required to be prudent to manage risk. While these reforms have relieved some of the burden on the state, both new social risk groups and ‘net taxpayers’ considered themselves to have borne disproportional costs. Society is facing serious problems resulting from ineffective old welfare policies, new social risks due to new policies, and the political upheavals arising from increased social conflicts and weakened social cohesion and solidarity. A further complication is that there is no acceptable platform or agent to negotiate a compromise between the polarized groups. This article argues that reliance on publicly funded risk coping strategies or on neo‐liberal risk prevention and mitigation strategies is not a desirable and sustainable policy. A commonly accepted political platform is required to negotiate a compromise which emphasizes shared and balanced roles and responsibilities, and a well‐conceived combination of risk prevention, mitigation and coping strategies.     

马克思眼里的中国人

马克思恩格斯关于中国社会和中国人的观点是其人类学研究和东方社会研究中的不可或缺的部分。他们眼里的中国人基于19世纪的中国状况,有些观点则来源于黑格尔等近代西方学者。对中国人民和中国民主革命持有同情、支持和期待的态度在马恩的中国观中占主导地位,其对中国人素质的评价虽然没有摆脱西方主义的影响,但我们如果能借用马恩的看法反观自身,这对于正致力于现代化建设中的中国人来说,是有积极意义的。     

浅析辩诉交易制度在我国的适用

产生于美国的辩诉交易制度在我国的适用问题引起了激烈的争鸣。我们应该本着辩证看待、取其精华、弃其糟粕的科学态度，充分考虑我国的国情以及现有司法制度，认真探讨其在我国的适用问题。     

促进我国文化产业健康发展应采取的举措

全面建设小康社会 ,不仅要有繁荣的经济 ,还必须有繁荣的文化。随着我国改革开放的不断发展 ,经济全球化的日益加深 ,文化产业发展呈现多样性与复杂化的局面。因此 ,发展文化产业必须坚持马克思主义的主体地位 ,牢牢把握先进文化的前进方向 ;建立健全适应我国国情的新体制与新机制 ;理顺关系 ,创造名牌 ,壮大产业规模。同时 ,政府要强化宏观调控 ,进行制度创新 ,为先进文化的发展提供有力的保障。     

监管机构与行政组织法的发展——关于监管机构设立根据及建制理念的思考

监管机构是市场经济体制下,政府为解决和矫正市场失灵问题而设立的一种特殊行政组织,其设立根据主要涉及两个方面一是利用其专业性、技术性、灵活性减少决策成本;二是利用其独立性增强长期政策承诺的可信度。现代政府监管机构必须遵循独立性与可问责性并重的理念。     

Protecting the ageing poor or strengthening the market economy: the case of the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund

The Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) launched by the Hong Kong government seems to be a residual welfare state's strategy to cope with an ageing population and, at the same time, preserve a minimal welfare state and further enhance economic development. The MPF can only provide limited protection for a limited number of employees; many older people still have to depend on financial support from their families or have to work. On the other hand, the MPF immediately boosts the economy by creating more jobs for the financial services sector and by providing more business opportunities for banks and insurance companies. Thus, the MPF has consolidated the foundation of Hong Kong's capitalism by socialising and incorporating the whole working population in the market economy but has provided little protection for their old age.     

我国商业银行合作竞争的意义及策略选择

合作竞争作为一种新的竞争方式,对我国商业银行的意义不像其他国际银行那样是获取规模经济和范围经济效益,而主要是增强竞争有效性,降低经营成本,提高经营效率,从而提升我国银行整体竞争力和核心竞争力,进而提高银行经营效益.选择适当的国际战略合作伙伴以及力争在合作竞争组织中获取最大经济利益,是我国银行合作竞争的策略选择重点.前者可以在"3C"原则基础上运用德尔菲法和层次分析法比较确定,后者可以综合考虑现有理论提出的多劳多得、风险补偿和效用最大三个原则及其模型,运用改进的群体重心模型来确定体现公平原则的最优收益分配方案.     

NOS3基因与阿尔茨海默病患病风险关联的研究

目的：阿尔茨海默病（ AD）是最常见的神经退行性疾病,与基因的多态性有关,包括内皮一氧化氮合酶3（ NOS3）发生变化。 NOS分解一氧化氮,并且在血脑屏障中起到有关键作用。探索NOS3基因（ rs1799983,G）与中国南方人群阿尔茨海默病患病风险的关联。方法采用病例-对照研究,在74例散发性患者和139例对照者中,对NOS3基因（rs1799983, G）进行两组间的等位基因及遗传模型基因型差异分析,NOS3基因使用聚合酶连反应-限制性内切酶（ PCR-RFLP）方法分型并测序进行验证。结果①NOS3基因（rs1799983,G）风险等位基因和基因型的频率在病例组和对照间组间的分布无显著性差异（P＞0.05）。②NOS3基因（rs1799983,G）在AD患者中携带ApoE4与非携带ApoEε4两组间基因型频率无显著性差异。结论研究显示NOS3基因rs1799983,G可能与中国南方人群AD患病风险无关联。     

参与式扶贫中政府与农户合作的障碍与对策

参与式扶贫模式虽涌现出一些成功典范,但贫困人口的参与绝不是包治百病的灵丹妙药,其间有诸多障碍和问题需分析、解决.现阶段,中国大规模推广参与式扶贫的政治社会环境和贫困人口自身的小环境尚不具备,只有政府和农户合理分权、分工,密切合作,扬长避短,才能实现扶贫开发的效益最大化.     

Developing From Tranditional Microscale Chemistry to Microscale Green Chemistry

Microscale chemistry is appealing to all levels of education.In contrast to conventional macroscale chemistry,only minute amount of chemicals are required to undertaking a chemical investigation.
