Fatal exsanguination following complete transection of femoral vessels due to angle grinder injury in an industrial accident

Angle grinders are one of the most dangerous and frequently used tools in industrial settings. Angle grinder injuries range from superficial cuts to deep penetrating injuries with underlying fracture-dislocation and vascular trauma. The injuries caused by angle grinders mostly involve the head, face, or upper limbs, while the lower limb is an unusual site. The high-speed rotating disc of the angle grinders does not respect anatomical boundaries or structures; therefore, the injuries caused may be disfiguring, permanently incapacitating, or even fatal. We report a fatal case of an angle grinder injury to the lower limb. The victim sustained a sharp cut over the left thigh while woodworking in an industrial setup. The rotating disc of an angle grinder had transected the skin, subcutaneous fat and muscles, and both the femoral vessels of the left side, which led to fatal exsanguination within 10 min of the incident.     

Trade and Industrial Policy as Levers for Sustainable Energy Technology Adoption? Experiences from Urban Latin America

Debates abound regarding the link between trade and industrial policy and the adoption of sustainable energy technologies in developing countries. Some purport that open trade regimes support technology diffusion, while others indicate that more interventionist regimes are more conducive. This paper uses empirical evidence from Mexico City and São Paulo to argue that sustainable energy technology uptake can be more prevalent in settings with partially open trade policy regimes. These regimes have afforded countries more opportunities to develop local capabilities, which, in turn, has had knock‐on effects on sustainable energy technology uptake. Specifically, having more local technology sources (equipment, expertise) brought quicker access to these technologies, created more perceptions of technology “ownership,” fostered more effective mobilization, and helped create well‐established standards, which in turn contributed positively to sustainable energy technology uptake, while taxes and tariffs were less influential.     

Globalization and Divergent Paths of Industrial Development: Mobile Phone Manufacturing in China,Japan, South Korea and Taiwan

Globalisation has challenged the way industrial development takes place. Fragmented and decentralised global production and the rapid growth of consumer markets in emerging economies demand a more sophisticated framework to analyse development paths than does the dichotomy of export orientation and import substitution. This article proposes a typology based on (a) specialisation in the global value chain and (b) market orientation to distinguish different development trajectories and then applies the typology to mobile phone manufacturing in four East Asian countries. This study finds that globalisation does not lead to the convergence of development paths, but promotes cross-national divergence depending on countries’ positions in the value chain and market niches. Both Korea and Taiwan emerge as key players in global markets, yet in different parts of the global value chain. Their common orientation toward global markets strikingly contrasts the inability of Japanese firms to translate their domestic success overseas. Finally, Chinese firms concurrently engage in different development paths, making the country’s multi-path approach unique. The implications of these findings are discussed in terms of industrial development in East Asia in an era of globalisation.     

工伤赔偿与民事侵权赔偿的关系——从司法审判的角度审视

现代工业社会,工伤是经常发生的侵害劳动者权益的问题。工伤赔偿与民事赔偿请求权竞合时给司法审判带来了困难。理性处理二者的关系是和谐社会的必然要求。未来工伤保险立法必须对工伤保险赔偿与民事侵权赔偿之间的适用关系做出明确的界定,应根据工伤发生的原因而适用不同的处理模式。     

产业集群发展中的政府治理

产业集群是一种新型的产业组织形式,治理是地方政府作用于产业集群的有效方式。产业集群的政府治理是市场经济条件下政府经济职能在产业集群发展中的表现。它主要表现在以下三个方面:完善市场机制,激活中间体组织的治理功能,转变政府职能、提供公共产品和服务。     

上市公司股权集中度与经营绩效关系的行业特征分析

本文利用上海证券交易所采掘、电力和煤气行业的40家及批发、零售贸易业,电子信息产业的91家上市公司的数据,在进行适当的筛选和剔除之后,对它们2003年至2005年三年的数据进行了实证研究。结果表明,在不同的行业特征条件下,股权集中度对公司经营绩效的影响是不同的:在竞争性行业的上市公司中,股权相对集中,且有若干个大股东的股权集中度有利于公司绩效的提升;在垄断性行业的上市公司中,则是较高的股权集中度有利于公司绩效的提升,无论是第一大股东、前五大股东或前十大股东的持股比例都应保持较高水平。这些实证结果为完善我国的上市公司治理提供了有益的启示。

产业升级的发展效应及其动因分析

产业升级是现代经济发展的主题之一,它体现为产业结构由低技术水平,低附加价值状态向高新技术,高附加价值状态的演变趋势。从产业结构的演进中索取经济发展速度和效益的思想,是产业政策的核心和精髓。对产业升级的动因的解释,传统经济理论主要是从需求收入弹性变化和生产率上升两个角度进行的。     

加入工会能提高产业工人技能水平吗？ ——来自大连市产业工人调查数据的经验证据

产业工人技能水平能否更好地匹配产业发展的方向,实现技能劳动力的供求动态平衡,关系到 能否为产业转型升级和经济高质量发展提供人力资本支撑。工会组织通过推进职工素质建设工程、开展劳动技 能竞赛和群众性技术创新活动等,在提升产业工人技能水平方面发挥着重要作用。本研究基于大连市产业工人 的微观调查数据,发现加入工会显著促进了产业工人技能水平的提升,且对制造业产业工人的影响更显著。机 制检验发现,工会通过开展职业培训提升了产业工人技能水平。研究建议：在实践中应充分利用工会资源为产 业工人提供形式多样的职业培训;完善产业工人技能评价方式;加强与职业院校合作,推动多层次多样化的职 业教育资源服务于产业工人技能提升。
