经济手段在南部非洲发展共同体环境管理中的运用及启示

南部非洲发展共同体为根除贫穷和解决生态恶化问题需要寻求以可持续发展为导向、以促进共同实现经济效益和环境效益为目标的环境管理手段。作为一种市场激励手段,经济手段进入南共体环境管理的视野,并被广泛地运用于这一区域土地资源的管理和使用,水资源的使用、分配和管理以及工业部门中。南共体有关环境管理中经济手段运用的实践对于我国环境管理的革新同样具有一定的借鉴意义。     

Older women, health, and social care in Singapore

A key demographic feature in the high-income country of Singapore is that women have longer years of life than men, and the aging pattern in Singapore is similar to that of Northern Europe. This paper describes how this current generation of older Singaporean women aged 65 and above experiences declines in health status and well-being as they age. Their vulnerability is the higher risk of chronic illnesses stemming from longer life expectancy and a lower likelihood of access to appropriate health and social care. This is because health and social care in old age are mainly financed by individual out-of-pocket spending which includes support from adult children. Unlike Northern Europe, Singapore does not yet have a well-developed social welfare system to support women in old age.     

A novel skull registration based on global and local deformations for craniofacial reconstruction

Craniofacial reconstruction is important in forensic identification. It aims to estimate a facial appearance for human skeletal remains using the relationship between the soft tissue and the underlying bone structure. Various computerized methods have been developed in recent decades. An effective way is to deform a reference skull to the discovered skull, and then apply the same deformation to the skin associated with the reference skull to provide an approximate face for the discovered skull. For this method, the better the two skulls match each other, the more face-like the reconstructed skin surface will be. In this paper, we present a novel skull registration method that can match the two skulls closely, so as to improve the accuracy of the reconstruction. It combines both global and local deformations. A generic thin-plate spline (TPS)-based deformation, which is global, is applied first to roughly align the two skulls based on two groups of manually defined landmarks. Afterwards, the two skulls are largely matched, except some regions, on which some new landmarks are automatically marked. A compact support radial basis functions (CSRBF)-based deformation, which is local, will then be performed on these regions to adjust the initial alignment of the two skulls. Such adjustment can be repeatedly implemented until the two skulls have optimal alignment. In addition, all the skulls and face involved in the registration are represented by their single outer surfaces to facilitate the reconstruction procedure. The experiments demonstrate that our method can create a plausible face even when the reference skull is very different from the discovered skull. As a result, we can make full use of our database to provide multiple estimates for a principle components analysis (PCA) for the final reconstruction.

城管综合执法:多视角分析与路径选择——以广州市为例

城管综合执法机构自成立以来,其合法性备受质疑。执法手段粗暴,执法形象受损;执法成本高昂,执法效率低下;城管人员与被管理者情绪对立,甚至发生暴力冲突。本文以广州市为例,从博弈论、经济学、社会学、行政法学以及法理学等多个视角分析了当下城管综合执法的困境,并提出了相应的对策。     

马克思商品拜物教理论批判内涵与当代启示

生活在物质丰裕的消费社会中的人们感到深层的压抑和无力的反抗。对此,学者们从不同角度展开了理论批判与理论反思。本文从马克思主义哲学的视野出发,通过马克思商品拜物教理论批判内涵来解读当代中国社会日益突出的消费景观现象背后的深刻原因。本文认为,马克思通过商品拜物教的理论批判,揭示了劳动的商品化过程与劳动产品的货币化的过程也就是人的奴役过程和人的物化过程。理解马克思哲学中的商品拜物教理论批判内涵对克服中国当代社会存在的各种危机具有深刻的理论警醒意义和实践启示意义。     

城市管理新思路——公安机关参与综合城市管理

近年来城管执法遭遇的困境引起了社会各界的广泛关注。针对城管部门集中执法时无法可依,权责不明确等问题,各地方城管部门也进行了各种改革探索,但探索结果却往往没有取得令人满意的效果。针对上述问题,本文将就公安机关参与城市管理这种新兴城市管理模式的组成人员、权责划分两方面问题进行分析。
