澳洲大学课程建设分析

澳大利亚的维多利亚大学在校园网上以课程为单位,进行了规范、完整、系统的课程主页建设。以校园网为依托进行课程建设具有超越时空、提高效率、严格管理等诸多优点。中国高校应以此为鉴进行具有我国特色的课程建设,来满足信息时代高等教育的需要。     

发展中国家国际储备管理的新变化

20世纪 90年代以来 ,发展中国家国际储备迅速增加 ;与此同时 ,其官方宣布的汇率制度也正迅速地向富于弹性的方向转移。汇率制度向弹性方向的转移通常会使各国减少国际储备 ,因而上述不无矛盾的现象引起了经济学界的广泛关注。我们认为 ,经济全球化的迅速发展是发展中国家国际储备急剧增加的根本原因 ,其中 ,金融全球化过程中货币危机与货币替代的影响是决定性的 ;此外 ,贸易全球化的影响也不容忽视。近年来 ,我国国际储备不断增加。我们认为 ,这是一个有积极意义的变化。目前 ,国际储备不断增加带来的真正困扰是 ,我国货币当局缺少足够的对冲资产来缓冲国际储备对基础货币供应数量的影响。我们提出 ,大力发展政府债券市场 ,特别是发展适合货币政策操作的短期政府债券市场是解决矛盾的根本出路 ;在短期政府债券市场发育完善之前 ,可以在资本项目实施一定程度管制的前提下 ,通过降低结汇比例来缓解货币当局的货币投放压力 ,同时保有国际储备     

略论近代中国学习西方进程中的"礼失求野论"

"礼失求野",是近代中国主张仿西变法的一种思维范式,具有相当普遍性和比较完整而严密的逻辑结构。它是中国早期现代化进程中的产物,并对这一进程产生了巨大作用,且至今不失其借鉴意义。

西方国家治理暴力伤医的经验与借鉴

我国暴力伤医事件频发的原因主要表现在医疗体系不完善、医患纠纷处理机制失灵和医患关系缺乏信任等方面。在暴力伤医事件的治理上,西方国家拥有完善的医疗体系 、明确的医患双方权利义务、健全的医患纠纷处理机制、完善的医疗责任保险制度等。我国可借鉴西方国家的成功经验,建立暴力伤医事件的有效处理机制：增加医疗投入,建立 分级诊治和双向转诊制度;立法保护患者权利,建立相互信任的医患关系;加强医疗纠纷的处理机制建设,依法解决医疗纠纷;推广医疗责任保险的普及,加大理赔力度。     

“一带一路”沿线国家的金融监管架构

我国实施“一带一路”战略是秉持“走出去”理念,抵御当前全球非正式治理的逆全球化思潮,以及经济进入新常态和实施供给侧改革的必然选择。“一带一路”沿线国家的经贸合作和经济发展需要相适应的金融配套支持,然而沿线各国金融发展水平参差不齐,金融监管模式纷繁芜杂,其金融监管架构、国际合作和治理需要未雨绸缪。基于行为监管、微观和宏观审慎监管相结合的思路,应加强国际合作有效应对系统性风险,使之满足贸易开放、经济发展和金融监管国际合作的实际需要。通过对“一带一路”沿线国家的金融监管架构进行国际比较研究,借鉴国际金融监管的先进经验,为“一带一路”沿线国家的金融监管及其合作提供政策建议。     

Statutory leave entitlements across developed countries: Why US workers lose out on work–family balance

Using a composite index of legal provisions for annual and family leave in western Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan and the Republic of Korea, the authors rank legislative support for this aspect of work–family balance. The United States ranks last: its employers are not required to grant annual leave and employees can take no more than 12 weeks' family leave per year. The United States' comparatively low labour standards, the authors argue, may be due to the dominance of a market‐based conception of employment and the assumption of equal employer–employee bargaining power, neither of which is fully shared by the other industrialized democracies.     

Joining the Dark Side: Women in Management in the Dominican Republic

This article presents evidence of the challenges faced by women in management in their interactions with men and other women, contesting the idea that men organizationally oppress women and suggesting instead that both men and women can be organizational oppressors of women. Using empirical evidence, this article provides new insights into the working lives and challenges of women in a Latin American and Hispanic Caribbean context. The article highlights struggles of power and credibility in women in management's relationships with men and other women. It draws on findings of research conducted in the public sector in the Dominican Republic, where in‐depth semi‐structured interviews were conducted with professional men and women. This article has significant implications for advancing understanding of the dynamics of gender and organizations in developing countries, in particular, the experiences of women in management.     

A review of the challenges of achieving the goals in the African Plan of Action for people with disabilities in Nigeria

The Plan of Action (POA) document was produced at the Pan-African Conference on African Decade of Persons with Disabilities attended by representatives of all African countries in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (4–7 February 2002). The POA is aimed at implementing priority activities to enhance the services provided to Africans with disabilities during the decade by formulating and implementing meaningful policies and programmes, creating national disability service coordination committees, supporting community-based service delivery, developing poverty alleviation programmes, enhancing preventive programmes, and promoting positive attitudes and awareness of the needs of people with disabilities. While the goals of the POA are noble, evidence raises concerns about the actions so far taken by the Nigerian Government to ensure the implementation of the programme for the benefit of citizens with disabilities. Obstacles to implementing the provisions of the POA document and the implications for strategies that could facilitate the achievement of the goals of the POA are discussed.     

A log-logistic regression model for a transition rate with a starting threshold

The paper presents a new type of parametric transition rate model that is particularly suitable for studying household and union formation. In such studies, it is often not easy to determine the moment at which individuals actually enter the population at risk - or at least when the risk begins to become socially important. Even in the presence of regulations stipulated by law, one might be interested in studying ‘social’ timetables. We assume that there is a constant rate for any duration and that after a certain threshold point a log-logistic rate is added, with this threshold as its time origin. This can be justified in a behavioural sense by assuming that random and social transitions arise from separate processes. We then apply the model to union formation in Italy and show how threshold and intensity effects generated by theoretical hypotheses can be revealed.
