Malaria in Pacific populations: seen but not heard?

Most Pacific Island countries are located in the tropics, where there is an abundance of mosquitoes with the potential to carry debilitating or life-threatening vector-borne diseases. This article examines three Melanesian countries in which malaria is endemic—Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu—but the threat posed by the spread of malaria gives the issues a broader significance to the Pacific region. After discussing the spatial distribution and prevalence of malaria in the Pacific, the article examines a number of health interventions through which people have sought to control malaria. Although the disease was nearly eradicated in the Pacific in the 1970s, it is no longer in retreat. The article concludes by examining why there are still grounds for cautious optimism, and the challenges that Pacific Island countries face in reducing the impact of malaria on their populations. There is a need for prompt and concerted action on malaria at the national, regional and international levels if the public health concerns arising from the disease are to be adequately addressed.

Racial Disparities in Early Criminal Justice Involvement

Criminologists have long reported the existence of racial disparity in the criminal justice system, but the important question is why. While some argue that observed differences are a consequence of more criminal behavior among minorities, the weight of the evidence indicates that this is but a partial explanation. In this paper, we study data from a sample of juveniles to examine how racial differences in early police contact, and important social environments—family, school, and neighborhoods—affect later contact and arrests, controlling for self-reported delinquency. We find that early (in middle school) contact with police is an important predictor of later (high school) arrests. Also we found that, in addition to being male and living in a low-income family, children who have parents who have a history of arrest, who have experienced school disciplinary actions, who have delinquent peers, and who are in networks with deviant adults are more likely to have problems with law enforcement. These factors help to explain racial differences in police contacts and arrests.     

供应链在家纺产业人力资源管理中的应用

人力资源供应链管理是企业运用供应链原理进行人力资源的供求信息控制,实现人力资源系统化与集成化的网链管理模式。家纺企业人力资源供应链管理旨在加强人力资源供应商、人力资源部门、人力资源需求部门三方的联动协同,促进产业人力资源供需平衡,实现人力资源价值最大化,从而解决家纺产业人力资源供需结构性矛盾。构建家纺企业人力资源供应链模型需要在需求预测的基础上,明确供应链成员的职责,特别加强对人力资源供应商评估和选择,通过建立完善的人力资源分销系统和信息管理系统,实现供应链的正常运转。     

沈阳城市色彩的规划与设计

一、城市色彩的含义及其规划设计作用“城市色彩”(Urban colour)这一用语诞生于20世纪60年代,对它的重视和研究是基于飞速发展的城市化进程带来的城市色彩混乱而展开的。初期对城市色彩的重视更多的是色彩本身,如单体建设的色彩等,而忽视了城市所构成的景观环境。目前对城市色     

大学生过去时间洞察力的理论构想

过去时间洞察力是个体对过去时间的认知、情绪体验和行动上所表现出来的相对稳定的心理特征,研究过去时间洞察力具有重要的意义。本研究在对过去时间洞察力概念界定和前人研究中存在的问题进行分析的基础上,通过文献分析和开放式问卷调查,提出大学生过去时间洞察力的理论维度结构的初步构想:大学生过去时间洞察力是一个3维度(过去时间认知、过去情绪体验、过去行动)、11因素(过去时间价值评价、过去时间压力评价、过去时间管理评价、沉湎过去、反思过去、正面过去、负面过去、行动目标性、行动计划性、行动守时性、目标合适性)的结构模型。

关于社会公平的思考

通过分析公平的定义和注重社会公平的必要性,以及现阶段社会不公平的三种主要表现:改革开放以来居民收入分配差距越来越大,起点的不公平,过程的不公平,提出了现阶段可以从创建和谐的税收体系,合理调节二次分配,缩减收入分配的差距,消除行政垄断,建立新型医疗制度,特别是在农村医疗制度等方面采取措施,创建一个公平、和谐的社会主义社会。     

集体林权改革背景下农户林地流转影响因素分析

通过对辽宁省丹东、本溪、葫芦岛、朝阳、抚顺五市（县）10镇210份农户调查问卷数据,利用模型对林权改革后影响农户林地流转行为的因素按照有无林业生产经营收入进行实证分析结果表明：劳动力数量占家庭人口比重、非农收入占家庭总收入比重、林地地块数、采伐指标申请难易程度、是否知道林权交易市场和是否了解林产品价格共六个因素对于以上两类林地流转行为有不同程度的影响。因此,应加大林地流转制度相关立法,规范林地流转行为;利用资源发展绿色旅游项目,大力开展林区综合产业开发;开展多种森林经营技术培训,提高林户从事森林管护经营水平;加大林业改革的力度,建立新型的现代化林业经营模式。     

辽宁省阜新花生主产区农户种植规模效率研究

根据辽宁省阜新花生主产区200农户调查数据,运用数据包络分析法(DEA),定量研究了农户花生生产的技术效率、规模效率及综合效率,重点对比了不同花生种植规模农户的效率差异,结论表明:当前花生生产技术水平下,调查点农户花生种植的技术效率和规模效率均较高,规模报酬已处于不变和递减状态,结合成本利润率比较认为,当地农户花生最优种植规模区间在0.933～1.133公顷.因此,引导农户选择较优种植规模是提高耕地利用效率,增加花生产量的有效途径,可以改善生产效率,减少资金、劳动力等要素的无效投入,实现要素的合理匹配,有效降低成本增加收入.
