The impact of migration on the well-being of transnational families: new data from sending communities in Mexico

We present results from a new study of the effects of migration to the USA on the well-being of transnational families in high emigration communities within Mexico. Our survey measured the well-being of family members in a variety of domains: economic, health, education, and child development for a representative sample drawn from high migration municipalities. Compared to those with no recent emigrants to the USA, Mexican households sending non-caregivers to the USA appear to gain economically without contributing to problems faced by children. However, when family caregivers migrate to the USA, the remaining members in Mexico struggle to meet the family's needs and children are more vulnerable to educational, emotional, and health problems. Children in households where a caregiver migrated were more likely to have frequent illnesses (10% vs. 3%, p<0.0001), chronic illness (7% vs. 3%, p=0.011), emotional problems (10% vs. 4%, p=0.006), and behavioral problems (17% vs. 10%, p=0.018) compared with children in households where the migrant was not a caregiver. Research, policy, and program implications of these findings are discussed.

我国官员财产申报制度及其绩效

财产申报制度作为防治腐败的科学机制之一,为世界大多数国家所借鉴。跟进性制度创新其实就是一种制度移植,基于此,以政策移植理论为研究工具,结合我国官员财产申报制度化面临的一些困境与难题,对官员财产申报制度构建进行前瞻性审视与思考,并提出相关对策以期带来制度绩效的最大化。     

人口老龄化背景下的城乡劳动力资源变动趋势对比研究——兼论乡城劳动力流迁及其影响

文章以2010年第六次人口普查数据为基础,采用多区域人口预测模型,利用PADIS软件对未来40年城镇和农村劳动力资源总量、结构及未来发展趋势进行对比分析,研究发现,中国劳动年龄人口规模在2014年出现高峰,到2025年开始呈快速下降趋势.受中国二元经济结构影响,劳动年龄人口结构也呈现出城乡分化的差异性特征.未来城镇劳动力资源总量总体呈增加趋势,但会经历先增后减的过程,农村劳动力资源呈逐年下降.从结构观察,城乡劳动年龄人口占总人口的比例均呈现不断下降的趋势,各时期城镇劳动年龄人口占比都高于农村.城镇劳动力老化趋势明显,农村劳动力则经历不断老化再到相对合理的过程.     

生态移民研究综述

随着生态环境的日益恶化,从20世纪90年代末开始,我国西部地区出现了真正意义上的生态移民现象,学者们对此进行了广泛研究,这些研究主要从经济的角度考察了我国生态移民的现状,提出了其中存在的问题及解决对策。由于生态移民不仅仅是一种经济行为,更触动了民族生活方式的改变等重大问题,今后的研究有必要侧重于移民社会的文化变迁及文化适应等人类学与社会学课题。     

Building buy-in: The need for internal relationships and informal coalitions

Significant research has focused on influencing senior leadership, and this study offers new insights into building internal relationships and informal coalitions to provide strategic counsel. These strategies involve internal communications, a neglected area of research and practice. The findings are based on in-depth interviews with 30 executives representing multiple departments in four U.S. companies. A new role justifying public relations’ membership in executive decision teams is internal boundary spanning or gathering intelligence internally across business units, and requires public relations to have a seat at multiple decision tables.     

Mobility of ‘the defeated’: internal migration and social advancement in a post-civil war society

The article examines the relationship between the movement across space and social mobility by analyzing the conditions for internal migration in Spain during the years of the Franco regime. Specifically it reflects on the ways in which migration from the countryside into self-constructed shantytowns in the greater Madrid area was perceived by migrants themselves, and on the strategies that enabled migration to be carried through. By focusing on the challenges that internal migration posed to the spatial practices and mobility regimes of the dictatorship, the article also explores the relationship between spatial movement, social mobility and political repression within the context of a nationalist dictatorship.     

叠前时间偏移技术在东濮凹陷应用的认识

东濮凹陷断裂复杂，多断块、多套生储盖组合，叠后偏移成像效果不佳。叠前时间偏移技术在这一复杂断块区的应用可以改善成像效果。研究提出了一套以速度迭代为核心、地质信息为约束的求取偏移速度场的改进方法，提高了偏移速度的精度；通过对偏移孔径、最大偏移角度、射线路径、去假频4个关键参数处理的分析,得出适合东濮凹陷地震资料特点的经验参数，减少了以后处理过程中的试验工作量和参数试验的盲目性，有效地提高了处理效率。通过叠前时间偏移，提高了复杂断块地区成像精度，能够准确地落实断层位置和认识断块之间的关系，与井资料的吻合程度较高，取得了明显的地质效果。     

《诗经·大雅·民劳》主旨考辨

《诗经·大雅·民劳》的主旨迄今主要有四类观点。之所以产生这四种不同的观点,根源就在于历代学者对诗中的＂小子＂一词以及诗文本内在逻辑的理解有不同。通过综合考察诗中＂小子＂一词的含义与诗文本的内在逻辑关系,得出两点结论：一、诗中的＂小子＂不是指代周王,而是指作者的同僚。二、作者通过此诗表达了对同僚的殷切期望。
