The Family and Medical Leave Law

Abstract

This essay asks whether the Family and Medical Leave Law (1993) is feminist social policy, as it was touted to be by its political supporters. The study takes three approaches to feminism outlined by Lorber in her 2001 text, Gender Inequality: Feminist Theories and Politics, which considers women in their roles as mothers and workers. Data taken from a Department of Labor FMLA utilization study are then analyzed in the context of these three approaches to feminism. I conclude that the FMLA is not feminist in a substantive way despite its symbolic value.

Making social policy work for economic development: the Nordic experience

The Nordic welfare states offer some lessons in a development context. A main achievement has been sustainable poverty reduction. Another important lesson is that, while democratization often leads to greater pressures for social policy expansion, social policy can also contribute to democratization. The Nordic countries further demonstrate that is possible to unify social protection with a competitive and growth-oriented economy. In a number of policy areas, particularly in relation to social services and labor market policy, the Nordic countries have also become leading modernizers. The women-friendly dual-earner model not only combats poverty among families with children, but also enables women to participate in the labor market. The future sustainability of the Nordic model of social policy hinges on the number of taxpayers that can be mobilized. In order to be successful in this, governments need to take a combined, or holistic, approach, and consider both micro motives and macro considerations.

Materials receiving capacity and inventory management

This paper analyses the optimal level of materials receiving capacity for a manufacturer that receives deliveries from many suppliers. Inventory levels and inventory carrying costs depend on the frequency of deliveries and thus, on the materials receiving capacity. An analytic model that captures the tradeoff between inventory costs and materials receiving costs is presented and discussed. The receiving cost is modeled as increasing in discrete jumps of varying sizes whenever materials receiving resources are added. Practical issues in implementing the model are highlighted and methods to reduce the marginal materials receiving cost are discussed. The paper also discusses connections to the JIT approach for production environments where materials receiving is heavily automated.     

“人性”新探

人性问题的提出乃源自人“形而上”的思维倾向,人性是什么？人性如何？古今中外人们对此作了不同的定义和界说：中西人性论有着各自的路径、内容以及对社会文化的影响;中国当前则有“社会属性说”、“两性说”、“共同本性说”三种主要的人性论。总结中西人性探究的理论得失．可知合理之人性探究应遵循的若干基本规则或前提。而人性的新的理论界说可以为：追求生存优越。

机械设计与自动化"专业课程设计"的改革与实践

为了培养新世纪新型人才,适应教学改革的需要,针对机械设计与自动化专业的"专业课程设计"一直采用传统模式教学,教学方法、教学手段没有实质性变化,不能满足现在教学发展的要求状况,提出了该项教学改革.利用慧鱼教具尝试了"专业课程设计"新的教学方法,采用机械传动系统设计、硬件控制、编程结合的教学手段,使专业课程设计变成了学生自己的概念设计、创意设计、创新设计的过程,使学生的设计思想以物化的形式表现出来,取得了很好的教学效果.     

与时俱进办好社科期刊发展繁荣哲学社会科学

江泽民同志连续三次就哲学社会科学的发展问题作了重要讲话,从治党兴国的战略高度,强调了哲学社会科学的重要性,指明了哲学社会科学发展的正确方向,这些讲话是新时期关于哲学社会科学发展的纲领性文件.文章论述了学习江泽民讲话的重要意义,着重论述社会科学期刊编辑工作者如何贯彻"讲话"精神,做好工作,并就在办刊实践中应坚持正确的导向、增强创新意识、精心策划选题以及树立精品意识做好编稿工作等几个方面进行了探讨.
