浅析美国华人餐饮业的现状

作为一代又一代美国华人移民多数人主要的谋生手段,华人餐饮业面临着激烈的竞争。为此,一些中小型华人餐饮业相继使用廉价的新移民劳动力甚至非法入境的"黑工"。但廉价的劳动力的使用并不能彻底改变华人餐饮业恶性竞争的困境,而且,一些华人员工开始运用法律,维护自身权益。与此同时,华人餐饮业在一如既往地关心祖国发展的同时,踊跃参与美国生活,并积极与时俱进,谋求与美国社会的同步发展。同时餐饮业主也不放弃致力于国家移民政策的改变,以企获得更多的新移民劳动力。     

中亚利益格局中的美国与中国

前苏联解体后 ,中亚的地缘战略地位日益显得重要。美国在中亚拥有巨大的地缘政治与经济利益。同样 ,中国在中亚也有着自己独特的地缘政治与经济利益。二者在中亚不可避免地发生利益碰撞。因此 ,中国必须深化“上海合作组织” ,在此框架内与中亚展开安全合作和经济合作 ,以维护地缘安全、能源安全 ,遏制我国境内民族分裂势力 ,增强新疆经济发展后劲     

Collection and direct amplification methods using the GlobalFiler™ kit for DNA recovered from common pipe bomb substrates

When analyzing DNA from exploded pipe bombs, quantities are often in trace amounts, making DNA typing extremely difficult. Amplifying minute amounts of DNA can cause stochastic effects resulting in partial or uninterpretable profiles. Therefore, the initial DNA collection from “touch” evidence must be optimized to maximize the amount of DNA available for analysis.This proof-of-concept study evaluated two different swab types with two direct amplification strategies to identify the most effective method for recovering DNA from common pipe bomb substrates. PVC and steel pipes, electrical tape, and copper wire spiked with epithelial cells were swabbed with cotton or microFLOQ® Direct Swabs and amplified directly or via a pre-treatment prior to STR amplification.Not only was the microFLOQ® Direct Swab protocol the quickest method with the least risk of contamination, but in combination with direct amplification, the microFLOQ® Direct Swabs also generated the most complete STR profiles.     

美国警察"社区为本"的反家庭暴力模式

自20世纪70年代起,美国警察就开始介入反家庭暴力运动.美国警察对家庭暴力的干预是美国近年来对家庭暴力的认识转变、法律改革、警务改革的结果.经过三十多年的探索与研究,他们总结出"社区为本"的反家庭暴力模式.在"社区为本"的反家庭暴力模式中,美国警察开始从传统的、持消极处理态度的调解者身份向现代的、持积极处理态度的执法者和社区服务者角色转变.这种"社区为本"模式有助于充分利用社区的各种资源,帮助受虐者,对预防与消除家庭暴力起了至关重要的作用.     

中国企业在美国反垄断诉讼中的挑战与应对:基于对相关判决的质疑

中国企业在美国的一系列反垄断诉讼发生在中国加入世界贸易组织后与美国在经贸关系中博弈摩擦不断升级的背景之下,其中涉及了美国反托拉斯法的域外适用、国际礼让原则、外国法查明、外国政府对本国法律解释的效力等一系列焦点问题。在相关案件的判决中,美国法院就上述问题的观点和论述存在诸多漏洞和偏颇之处,包括限缩适用"国际礼让原则"中"真实冲突"的条件、外国法查明中客观性的缺失等。而未来随着中国企业日益成为美国反托拉斯重点关注对象,中国企业会面临更多挑战,需从美国国内法、国际法、中国相关政策法规的制定以及企业自身行为的合规性等方面积极应对。     

Emerging US public affairs practice: the 2000+ PA model

Many larger US corporations are re‐assessing their participation in the public policy process and their entire approach to managing public affairs. This paper will attempt to synthesise much of what is happening to US corporate public affairs. It describes the forces driving the changes and addresses the ways corporations are responding to these forces. Finally, the paper offers an argument of the ‘New Public Affairs’ 2000 and beyond model as it will likely be practised in the USA, and perhaps elsewhere, at least early into this decade.

立法促进大学知识产业化的作用透视——发达国家的实践与经验借鉴

20世纪80年代以来,国际高等教育政策发生了显著变化,高等教育学术性得到加强的同时市场化程度加快、知识产业化凸显,大学正成为产业科技创新的合作伙伴,在经济发展中发挥着越来越重要的作用.大学知识产业化一方面是大学自身发展的要求,同时也是国家政策驱力所致.产业化过程中各国都采取了相应的立法或政策措施鼓励大学科研走出象牙塔,与产业密切结合.美国政府通过科技立法制定灵活的创新政策激励大学知识产业化;英国政府积极推动多元化的产学合作政策方案,建立产学间交流渠道.鼓励大学成为地方经济发展的动力;日本政府一贯致力于产学合作各项法律制度的完善,为产学合作发展建立良好的法制环境.发达国家制定的促进大学知识产业化的相关立法取得了良好绩效,为我国大学知识产业化专门立法提供可资借鉴的经验.     

Coping with financial crises: explaining variety in regional arrangements

Financial regional arrangements vary across countries and change over time. Until recently, most economists and political scientists took the European model of monetary integration as the yardstick to which all other regional financial arrangements had to measure up in this article. It is argued that the Euro crisis provides an opportunity for scholars to adopt a different perspective that does not interpret the variety of financial arrangements merely as economic deficiencies caused by the incapacity or unwillingness of regions to follow the European model. Instead, the comparative study of monetary and financial regionalism has to account for the different factors that shape variations. These go from different levels of economic development, over regional political and economic preferences to historical processes which shape the institutional context and the constellation of interests and social forces. Such an approach, which integrates economic and political science approaches, de-centres the Euro model and opens up a new understanding of the global diversity of regional monetary and financial cooperation, and their potential to cope with financial crises.
