后金融危机时代中小企业财务危机预警管理

2008年的全球性金融危机给我国中小企业带来了巨大的冲击,绝大多数中小企业陷入了财务困境,甚至破产倒闭。在后金融危机时代,我们应该吸取经验教训,提高中小企业财务危机意识,加强财务危机的预警,防患于未然,因此建立中小企业财务危机预警模型成为刻不容缓的任务之一。文章尝试在传统的基于功效系数法下构建的中小企业财务危机预警模型中加入了关键性的非财务指标,试图通过定量与定性指标的结合,以期增加模型的全面性与准确性。     

论我国政府绩效评价的价值取向

价值取向在政府绩效评价系统中具有十分重要的作用,它将直接影响到具体评价指标的构建、评价结果的形成与运用。“维护和增进公众利益”是政府对公众的公共受托责任的核心要求,应当作为政府绩效评价的基本价值取向,而增长、公平、民主、稳定则是这一基本价值取向的具体表现,应当作为政府绩效评价的四个具体价值取向。此外,在政府绩效评价过程中,应当辩证地看待和处理好增长与公平、民主与稳定之间的关系。     

医学生外科临床实习质量评价的量化指标研究

外科学是一门实践性很强的学科。医学本科生外科实习是我国高等医学教育的重要组成部分,是医学生在完成基础和临床理论学习后将所学知识与临床实践相结合,从学生到医生角色转变的重要时期。如何培养＂实用型＂医学人才是摆在我们面前的首要问题。文章分析了医学生在外科实习中存在的问题,并提出一些积极的应对措施。

湖南“3+5”城市群金融生态环境实证研究

借助于仿生学理念构建合理的指标体系和评价方法,对湖南省"3+5"城市群的金融生态环境进行实证分析,发现城市群的金融生态环境不断优化,城市群金融资本的极化吸引效应和扩散辐射效明显的增强。但是,还存在经济总量偏小、区域经济辐射能力不高;法制不健全、执法效率有待提升;金融资源相对匮乏、金融资产质量较低;信用环境体系不完善、金融风险防范能力不高;科技创新能力较弱等问题。因此,应该以政府为主导,构建和谐的金融生态政策环境;加强经济科学发展,提升经济宏观基础水平;提高金融行业水平和质量,构建集群式金融产业发展模式;加快征信体系建设,打造"三大信用"体系;完善法律制度,强化区域金融协同监管。     

中国的妇女/社会性别学评估指标及评估

近十几年来,中国的妇女/社会性别学有了较大的发展。因此,总结妇女/社会性别学学科建设的经验,梳理妇女/社会性别学学科发展的成果,进而构建妇女/社会性别学学科评估指标及指标体系,对其进行全面、综合的评估已经具有了充分的条件,也是势在必行的。根据国家教育部学科评估的原则,基于中国妇女/社会性别学科建设与发展的现状和需求,关注中国的妇女/社会性别学科特有的＂知识的行动化和行动的知识化＂的特质以及跨学科、多学科、跨领域的学科特征和本土特征,笔者建立了包含8个一级指标、28个二级指标、88个三级指标在内的妇女/社会性别学评估指标体系,并以此为标准,对中国的妇女/社会性别学科进行了评估,得出了相关的结论,认为就总体而言,中国的妇女/社会性别学已走过了＂前学科＂阶段,在较大程度上成为一门真正的独立的学科,并在学科之林中拥有了自己的一席之地。     

Parental Caregivers' Desires for Lifetime Assistance Planning for Future Supports for Their Children with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

Future life planning is a growing concern among families with children with disabilities. This article presents a needs assessment evaluating feasibility of a new model for future life planning for family caregivers, Lifetime Assistance, which will provide ongoing planning and monitoring for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Using surveys informed by a series of focus groups, data were gathered from older and younger parents in one midwestern state regarding the potential program. Study results indicate that respondents did not feel the current system of support was adequate for planning for their child's future, nor sufficient for monitoring the quality of life for their children in the future. Although almost all families had identified a person to support their family members when they were no longer able to do so, parental caregivers overwhelmingly identified the need for the Lifetime Assistance program and many were willing to pay for this service themselves.     

“增减挂钩制度”生成的“问题导向”和“路径依赖”

在城乡统筹的背景下,国家为了破解城市发展和耕地保护之间的土地指标难题,而进行的试点式的改革,在某种程度上已经突破了现行农村集体建设用地制度。从已有的研究来看,由于不能从增减挂钩制度改革"路径依赖"来进行审视,致使在研究过程中仅仅就该项制度来评价相关实践,其在观点和论证上出现一些理论上和实践上的误区。文章从上海、浙江、成都、天津等省市所进行的农村集体建设用地制度形成问题出发,来深化对这些改革试点内涵的认识,并进而为准确地归纳本次试点改革制度性难题提供基础。     

The sweet spot in sustainability: a framework for corporate assessment in sugar manufacturing

The assessment of corporate sustainability has become an increasingly important topic, both within academia and in industry. For manufacturing companies to conform to their commitments to sustainable development, a standard and reliable measurement framework is required. There is, however, a lack of sector-specific and empirical research in many areas, including the sugar industry. This paper presents an empirically developed framework for the assessment of corporate sustainability within the Thai sugar industry. Multiple case studies were conducted, and a survey using questionnaires was also employed to enhance the power of generalisation. The developed framework is an accurate and reliable measurement instrument of corporate sustainability, and guidelines to assess qualitative criteria are put forward. The proposed framework can be used for a company’s self-assessment and for guiding practitioners in performance improvement and policy decision-making.     

What drives unconventional political participation? A two level study

There is little evidence on the factors that drive peaceful unconventional political participation. This study evaluates the impact of seven individual level constituents – age, income, education, gender, satisfaction with the government, engagement in civil society organizations and voting – as well as five macro-level factors – economic development, democratic experience, income inequalities, a country's regime type and federalism – on citizens’ participation in boycotts, demonstrations and petition signing activities. Participation in all three protest activities hinges on education, voting, participation in civil society organizations, and lack of satisfaction with the government. Moreover, the influence of some macro-factors, such as democratic experience and economic development, and micro-level factors, such as gender differs between the three forms of political engagement.
