‘A load too heavy’: Critical reflections on the child labor problem in Africa's small-scale mining sector

This paper provides an extended analysis of the child labor problem in the artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) sector, focusing specifically on the situation in sub-Saharan Africa. In recent years, the issue of child labor in ASM has garnered significant attention from the International Labor Organization (ILO), which has been particularly active in raising public awareness of the problem; and, has proceeded to implement policies and collaborative project work aimed at curtailing children's participation in ASM activities in a number of African countries. The analysis concludes with a critical appraisal of an ILO project recently launched in the Talensi–Nabdam District in the Upper East Region of Ghana, which sheds light on how the child labor problem is being tackled in practice in ASM communities in sub-Saharan Africa.     

环渤海区域物流国际合作研究

环渤海地区目前所面临的竞争十分激烈,加快这一地区的区域物流国际合作研究具有十分重要的意义。由于这一地区临近日韩东北亚经济圈,距离东北和华北也十分近,因此具有十分优越的物流优势,这些优势表现在:首先,具有地理资源优势,其次,具有交通优势,第三政策扶持优势,第四,辐射优势。但是,这一地区的物流发展却存在一些障碍,一个是区域性国际经济合作的结构性障碍,另一个是区域内经济合作开展不充分。为了解决这一问题,应该采取加强海港和空港物流合作,发展大型国际物流企业集团,加强基础性物流合作,加强发展区域物流措施的交流等措施。     

华洋义赈会与二十世纪二三十年代的农村信用合作社

20世纪二三十年代,中国农村陷入空前危机,华洋义赈会在合作思潮的影响下应运而生。他们通过与银行联合提供贷款,部分满足了小农对资金的渴求,一定程度上抑制了农村高利贷的盘剥。但是,从这些农村合作社借贷资金的来源和构成状况上,我们可以看到合作社的社内资金极其微小,转而不得不依赖于社外资金,而社外资金对于农村合作社的支撑又极不稳定,从而限制了合作社对农村社会变革所发挥的作用。     

Distance education and international social work education

As a result of the development of new communication technology, distance education has become a rapidly growing area over the last few decades. Market and commercial pressures are major factors in its developing impact. Distance education has also been applied to social work education. Because it is a small field it may be both positively and negatively affected. Social work education requires face-to-face communication training. Educators need to respond to the limitations of distance education technologies and processes to provide for cultural and linguistic diversity, through openness to joint work across different cultures, anti-standardisation and -discrimination, reflexivity, user control and resources, and cultural and language translation.

International alliance commitment and performance of small and medium-size enterprises: The mediating role of process control

Improving alliance performance is a critical issue that both managers and researchers have attempted to resolve. Recently scholars have suggested that firms can use alliance commitment and process controls to improve alliance performance. Yet research has only found weak support for these direct effects. In this paper we examine the mediating role of process controls on the relationship between alliance commitment and alliance performance. When tested on samples of SMEs we find support for our theoretical predictions. We then discuss the managerial implications of using commitment and process controls in SME international alliances.

试论档案鉴定工作的正确定位

档案鉴定工作是一项十分严肃而重要的工作。长期以来,档案鉴定成为我国档案界研究的热点和难点,从理论到实践都展开了广泛研讨。无论是归档鉴定,还是进馆鉴定、存毁鉴定、开放利用鉴定,档案鉴定工作贯穿于档案业务工作的各个环节。随着电子文件档案的兴起,"大档案"的形成,"大鉴定"呼之欲出。这要求我们破除鉴定工作无足轻重、重藏轻鉴和等待观望等思想观念,把鉴定工作切实重视起来。     

International public relations as a predictor of prominence of US news coverage

This study aims to test the public relations efforts of other countries as a predictor of their newsworthiness in the US news media, after controlling for national traits and social significance. Based on a content analysis of US newspaper and television news coverage (New York Times, Washington Post, ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN) of 97 countries, this study found that the public relations of other countries’ governments is a significant predictor of these countries’ prominence in the US news coverage.
