地方政府控股下的地方银行制度变迁逻辑与风险防范

地方政府投资参股银行机构,既是一种模糊产权形式,也是一种过渡产权形式。允许地方政府的资本进入银行业,本意是体现责、权、利相匹配的原则。然而,这可能导致地方银行机构成为地方政府的提款机,信贷扩张增大,政府融资平台贷款持续增加,信贷集中度会更高,地区贫富差距会扩大,弱势群体的贷款难问题会加剧等。因此,作为过渡性产权形式,地方政府股权的退出将是一种必然结果,虽然短期内难以实现,但是这是解决这一问题的必然出路,因而必须壮大民营银行产权并使之成为第一行动集团。只有这样,地方政府才可能逐步退出银行的产权控制领域并让民营银行成为间接融资渠道的主体,实现银行产权的更替,最终分散和化解金融风险。

回顾建党百年来我国企业民主制度发展的历史进程,研究我国企业民主制度演进中取得的成就 和成功经验,对完善当前我国企业民主管理制度有重要历史意义和现实价值。基于制度变迁视角,对我国企业 民主制度历史变迁进行分析,本研究发现国家经济体制变迁是导致我国企业民主参与制度变迁的根本原因,经济 体制变迁过程中引发劳动关系各方包括政府、企业、工会、职工相互关系的变化,成为我国企业民主参与制度变迁 的重要影响因素。此外,我国企业民主参与制度变迁以国家主导下的强制性特征为主,但在市场化改革进程中市场 劳资主体驱动下的诱致性因素已经出现,对国家主导企业民主参与制度变迁发挥了重要补充作用。     

受虐待致死儿童的眼内改变

作者收集了美国洛杉矶市1984年4月至1987年2月受虐待致死儿童案例39例,非虐待致死对照73例。摘取双侧眼球在美国南加里福尼亚大学医学院眼科病理室进行组织病理学检查。在受虐待致死儿童中,发生眼内改变者约占64%。其眼内改变主要是视网膜各层的出血,玻璃体的出血,视网膜剥离,视神经乳头水肿或出血,视神经鞘内的出血和晶体的外伤性白内障。对照案例中,眼内有改变者约占28%。其改变主要为视网膜及其它眼内出血,视神经乳头水肿等,并多见于交通事故及其它易于引起头部外伤的意外。将受虐待致死小儿眼内改变与尸体解剖所见联系起来考虑,引起眼内改变的机理最重要的是头部的外伤及挥鞭样综合征。     

关于证人翻证问题的思考

证人翻证的种类和原因颇为复杂。证人翻证后与当庭陈述相矛盾的庭前陈述在一定条件下可分别作为独立证据和弹劾证据使用;非法的庭前陈述既不能作为独立证据也不能作为弹劾证据使用。对证人伪证罪刑事责任的追究必须遵循特别的程序规定。     

The IT Experience: An Example of Change in the Federal Workforce

Abstract

The information technology, or “IT,” functional area has been examined in some detail. This article summarizes the manpower reductions that have occurred in IT and displays the demographic impact (experience, age, educational level, race and gender mix) of these reductions. The author suggests that similar changes may be anticipated, or may have already occurred, in other functional areas that experience personnel reductions. He also reviews some of the management challenges this poses.     

中国和西方对东南亚称谓略考

在漫长的历史进程中,东南亚地区先后被冠以许多不同的称谓,东南亚概念的形成也只是晚近的产物,反映了该地区由一个中西方影响下的边缘地带向独立区域实体的过渡。称谓的变迁在一定程度上可以视为新旧时代交替的先声,是对一个新的历史进程的揭示和预见,分析其时代特性也将给予我们以历史的启迪。

The effects of the second Intifada,terrorist acts,and economic changes on adolescent crime rates in Israel: A research note

Designed as a field quasi-experiment, this study analyzes the differences in Jewish adolescent crime rates before and after the inception of the second Intifada (September, 2000). Data covers the years between 1996 and 2003. The study focused on the relationship between the number of terrorist acts, the number of deaths in these acts, economic changes, and crime rates (murder, manslaughter, assault, mugging and robbery and property-related). The findings of the study were analyzed in terms of current theories on the impact of social and security-related stress on adolescents. The results show that the second Intifada has had significant effects on male adolescent crime rates. In particular, the number of terrorist acts was significantly associated with the following offences: assault, robbery, and manslaughter. No significant differences were found for adolescent female crime rates. Economic changes were significantly negatively related both to male adolescent crime for all the offences studied, as well as to property-related female offences.
