两汉孙吴会稽郡诸部都尉考

The commander was mainlu in charge of the army in the local administration system during the Han Dynasty to the Sunwu Period. As the border prefectures were important in military defense, the armies of these prefectures were commonly divided into parts. Therefore, the army of Kuaiji Prefecture were divided into West Section Duwei, East Section Duwei and South Section Duwei. The West and East Section Duweis were founded for the purpose of suppressing the adherents of Yuyue as well as the Minyue and Ouyue people in the southeast coastline. In demand of securing the safety of the ship routes alongside the southeast coastline, the East Section Duwei migrated frequently within the area. In the meantime, the foundation of South Section Duwei was the result of the Sunwu government suppressing the local force and pillaging the labor resources in a partition background     

李约瑟与竺可桢的中国科学史研究

针对＂中国自来无科学＂的论断,以竺可桢为代表的中国学者致力于中国科学史研究,发表大量学术论著,为中国辉煌而久远的科技发展史正名;李约瑟亦不约而同地加入了大讨论,并以大量无可争辩的事实有力地批判了＂西方中心论＂。作为李约瑟《中国科学技术史》编纂强有力的支持者,竺可桢有目的地为李约瑟搜集中国科学技术史的书籍资料,并通过中国科学院给予其人力、财力资助。而李约瑟的《中国科学技术史》编撰计划实际上也诱发了竺可桢着手建立中国科学史研究专门机构的构想。就二十八宿起源地点与创立时期的学术争论,竺可桢坚持中国起源说,李约瑟则依违于巴比伦起源说与双方独立起源说之间。     

Does Formal Education for Older Workers Increase Earnings? — Evidence Based on Rich Data and Long‐term Follow‐up

Governments in Europe, Canada and the USA have expressed an ambition to stimulate education of older. In this paper, we analyse if there are effects on annual earnings of formal education for participants aged 42–55 at the time of enrolment in 1994–95. The analysis explores longitudinal population register data stretching from 1982 to 2007. The method used is difference‐in‐differences propensity score matching based on a rich set of covariates, including indicators of health and labor market marginalization. Our findings underline the importance of long follow up periods and imply positive effects for women, especially so for women with children, and no significant average earnings effects for men. These results differ from earlier studies but are stable to several alternative assumptions regarding unobservable characteristics. Data further indicate that the gender gap in our estimates may stem from differences in underlying reasons for enrolment.     

Social Work Admissions and Academic Accommodations for Students with Disabilities

ABSTRACT

The Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) protects students wth disabilities from discrimination by academic and professional programs in higher education. A student with a disability cannot be denied admission to an educational program because of his or her disability if the student is otherwise qualified. This means that a student with a disability who is qualified for an academic or professional educational program cannot be denied admission to a program based solely on the student&s disability. This educational requirement mandated by the ADA applies to all educational fields including social work education. The purpose of this study was to explore how social work programs are dealing with these requirements in their admission and academic accommodation procedures. Twelve social work programs located in the mid-western United States participated in the study. Representatives of each of these programs were given an in-depth interview focusing on their admissions process, academic accommodations, and general topics related to social work education and disabilities. All programs taking part in the research were accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). The CSWE is the national accreditation body for social work education within the United States.

Effectively Evaluating the Accessibility of Electronic Monographs Using VPATs and Other Resources at the College of Staten Island Library- CUNY

Abstract

This study, building upon previous research work at the College of Staten Island (CSI) library, attempts to evaluate the accessibility of select digital monograph platforms and file formats utilized at the City University of New York (CUNY). The usability of CSI library’s locally developed ER-ACT tool to assist librarians with limited technical knowledge to review VPATs and to perform simple testing was also evaluated with challenges and successes reported. It was determined that the use of color-coded results in this study can help identify serious accessibility issues within ebooks and to communicate the results within libraries to assist with collection development decision-making. The study also includes a review of new court rulings related to accessibility issues in higher education and discusses where accessibility staffing reports in terms of job roles and duties held by university professionals. The testing of the accessibility of library ebooks, with various accessibility tools, are reviewed within the context of Section 508 revisions and new VPAT standards.     

Credit access,macroprudential rules and policy interventions: Lessons for potential first time buyers

Given the increased popularity of macroprudential measures in the aftermath of the great financial crisis (GFC), a key policy question to arise in certain mortgage markets is whether a significant access to credit issue exists amongst prospective homeowners because of these new policies. In this paper we assess whether such a problem arises in the context of the Irish mortgage market – a market particularly adversely impacted by the GFC. We use a microsimulation model to estimate the level of latent credit demand that could be serviced by the market given prudent credit risk assessment and the current macroprudential regulations. We then compare this demand to current market provision to explore whether a credit gap exists. Finally, we simulate how a public mortgage credit scheme or equity “help-to-buy” type instrument may help credit access. We find both instruments to be effective but would lead to somewhat higher house prices.     

Persistence in entrepreneurship and its implications for the European entrepreneurial promotion policy

By considering entrepreneurs who hire employees – employers – and entrepreneurs without personnel – own-account workers – as related but distinct groups within entrepreneurship, this work analyzes the roles of different factors in entrepreneurship survival in Europe from a new perspective: contrasting the determinants of own-account workers’ survival with those affecting employers’ survival in the EU-15. Our results confirm the presence of persistence in entrepreneurship. However, we also obtain a strong negative effect on survival of entering entrepreneurship from unemployment. Hence, policymakers should balance these mixed results to evaluate the medium- and long-term suitability of the existing entrepreneurial promotion policy across European regions.     

大龄未婚男性流动人口的风险性行为及影响因素

以西安市28岁以上的大龄未婚男性流动人口为研究对象,进行了性行为相关内容的电子问卷调查,并收集农村大龄未婚男性进入城市后可能产生的风险性行为信息;通过分析明确了大龄未婚男性流动人口的风险性行为概况和人群特征,用逻辑斯蒂(Logistic)回归模型探析了其行为现状与影响因素。研究发现,大龄未婚男性流动人口在多个性伴侣与商业性行为表现出明显倾向;大龄未婚男性流动人口的经济条件年龄以及受教育程度对其风险性行为产生了影响;周围人群的风险性行为参与对大龄未婚男性流动人口的风险性行为参与产生带动作用;此外,无保护性行为在这一人群中的比例已经显著降低。     

浅析我国对外贸易中知识产权保护制度的完善—基于中美知识产权贸易争端中“337条款”的思考

随着中关贸易接触的日趋频繁,我国企业频繁遭到美国“337条款”的调查。尤其是从2002年开始,我国已连续7年成为遭受美国337调查最多的国家。究其原因,固然我国企业确实存在侵权行为是一方面,但337调查程序自身独特的优势更是不可忽视的重要因素。正是在此背景下,笔者通过对“337条款”的特点以及我国对外贸易中知识产权保护制度的分析,试图对我国完善对外贸易中的知识产权保护制度提出一些切实可行的建议。
