Modelling two way contingency tables with recursive logits and odds ratios

In this work a new type of logits and odds ratios, which includes as special cases the continuation and the reverse-continuation logits and odds ratios, are defined. We prove that these logits and odds ratios define a parameterization of the joint probabilities of a two way contingency table. The problem of testing equality and inequality constraints on these logits and odds ratios is examined with particular regard to two new hypotheses of monotone dependence.

Biodiversity action plans as a way towards local sustainable development

Local action for biodiversity is essential to ensure better conservation status for biodiversity and maintain ecosystem services. In many places the rich biodiversity is still relatively untouched and represents an outstanding asset for local sustainable development. The loss of biodiversity occurs mainly because of rapid changes in land use, urban sprawl, infrastructure development, acidification, eutrophication, desertification, overexploitation, intensification of agriculture, tourism development and climate change. There is a clear need for a more flexible, people-oriented and visionary approach for sustainable use of biodiversity resources. This article concerns “Local Biodiversity Action Plans”, which provide a comprehensive and integrated approach to biodiversity and ecosystem services for the sustainable development of rural municipalities and their local communities. Although biodiversity action planning is not a new concept, bringing a plan to life has significant societal benefits with innovative solutions to help biodiversity conservation while entailing close interaction of science, policy and society. This approach was developed together with project partners and local communities in selected regions of the Western Balkans and it benefits from a range of stakeholders, including social and natural scientists, practitioners, elected representatives of the local communities and end users in the frame of a participatory approach. The conclusion of this article discusses the role of communication and outlines the critical success factors and the challenges ahead for the future.

发电厂及变电所悬垂绝缘子最小片数推算

火力发电厂及变电所中悬垂绝缘子串片数的选择是电气设计中必须的步骤和容易产生混乱的难点,因此本文对此进行了研究。同时,对导体和电器选择规程中规定的发电厂及变电所悬垂绝缘子串最小片数再发电厂及变电所污秽等级重新定义后进行修订。     

论中国现代经济理论的发展阶段与理论主线

中国现代经济理论是辛亥革命以来在中国国情与社会经济发展的基础上,学习西方并借鉴资本主义经济发展经验,以追求和实现经济现代化为主题的马克思主义中国化的经济理论体系。中国人民追求与实现现代化过程的进程性决定了中国现代经济理论发展过程中的阶段性;各发展阶段都涉及到的关键性的理论研究,其内在逻辑性则体现为中国现代经济理论的主线。概括并把握中国现代经济理论的发展阶段与理论主线,对于中国现代经济理论的学科建设、体例设计、框架结构及内容选择等都至关重要。     

Organizational contingencies,organizational blogs and public relations practitioner stance toward publics

Public relations practitioners in this study who perceived social media (e.g., blogs) to be a normal part of their organization's day-to-day communication were less likely to choose an accommodating stance toward a key public than practitioners in “low-tech” conditions. Forty-three practitioners with a mean of 14.5 years professional experience participated in a 2 × 2 (contingencies for dialogue × technological orientation of organization) experiment. The data reveal a disconnect between the potential relational benefits of social media and the stance public relations practitioners in this study chose when social media were introduced as a regular part of their working environment.     

试论对行政计划的行政法调控

在现代市场经济条件下,行政计划仍然是国家管理经济与社会事务的重要手段,但行政计划的制定与执行,应遵循依法行政的原则,受到行政法的规范与行政法原理的约束,而不能游离于法治之外。要协调好行政计划与法治主义之间的关系,必须加强对行政计划的行政法调控,重点应明确行政计划的法律依据,完善行政计划的程序,强化对行政计划的法律救济,以实现行政计划的科学化、民主化和法治化的目标。     

论生态小区的规划设计和生态住宅的建设

生态小区是通过调整人居环境生态系统，使小区成为具有自然生态和人类生态、自然环境和人工环境、物质文明和精神文明高度统一、可持续发展的理想城市住区。生态小区空间结构合理、基础设施完善，生态建筑、智能建筑和生命建筑广泛应用，人工环境与自然环境融合。它与城市规划和区域规划相统一，与区域和城市融洽，是生态城市的一部分，体现了所在城市的风貌和特质。     

武汉市蔡甸区新农村建设中的公共产品供给现状与优先序研究

我国长期存在的农村公共产品供给总体水平低、供需矛盾突出、供给结构失衡等问题已引起政府和社会的高度关注。社会主义新农村建设的开展有力地推动了该问题的逐步解决。本课题组对正在实施“家园建设行动计划”的武汉市蔡甸区71个村进行了问卷调查和专题研究，针对农村公共产品供给中存在的问题提出相应的政策建议，以期为政府决策提供参考。     

城乡发展的不和谐性及统筹对策

改革开放以来,横向比较,我国城乡居民收入、消费水平、教育程度、公共卫生、文化建设等差距明显在扩大。其原因主要有:自然地理、思想文化、人力资本、财政政策、制度、新"剪刀差"等因素。缩小城乡发展差距,为推进新农村建设奠定坚实的基础,需构建和谐城乡发展关系,实现城乡良性互动;夯实新农村建设的基础平台;从制度环境、金融支撑、要素流动机制等入手,动员全社会力量积极参与。
