The GMO food arena in the EU (1998–2001)

A highly politicised arena in the EU has been caused by the 1998 Commission legislative proposal with regard to genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The debate over different interests became more intense. During the EU decision‐making process concerning GMOs, two larger coalitions cutting across institutions and countries waged the fight: one was led by industry and was in favour of GMOs and the other was against and mainly rooted in nongovernmental lobby groups. In mid‐2001, the ‘anti’ movement had gained a (temporary) winning position. In an attempt to explain this, it was concluded that the industrial lobby has been nonchalant in its preparatory work for public affairs management, by not carefully studying the various stakeholders, issues, time developments and the boundaries of this arena. With the benefit of hindsight it can be seen that the industrial lobby itself has missed opportunities and made unforced errors. Copyright © 2003 Henry Stewart Publications     

政府在经营城市中的作用与手段

政府在城市的经营中,应充分运用市场手段把城市资源以及依附于其上的名称、形象、知名度和城市特色文化等无形的资产,通过对其使用权、经营权、冠名权等相关权益的市场运作,实现城市资源配置的最优化和效益的最大化,实现城市的自我滚动、自我积累、自我增值的新的城市建设和管理模式。     

浅议人力资源管理的几个问题

现代市场经济下的人力资源管理与传统的人事管理是有区别的,因此在现代企业管理中,应努力将传统的劳动人事管理转到人力资源开发上来.     

High performance liquid chromatographic determination of alcohols with reference to body distribution of methanol

A method has been developed on reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography for simultaneous determination of methyl, ethyl and isopropyl alcohols under refractive index detection using pure water as the mobile phase. A good separation has been achieved between these alcohols. Detector response was linear with a detection limit of 5 mg/100 ml. Recovery studies were performed by adding known amounts of methyl and ethyl alcohols to blood, lung and liver within the range 80–90%. The reproducibility of the results was always >90%. The quantitative distribution of methyl alcohol in postmortem body tissues and fluids has been reported in three cases of poisoning.     

民营经济发展给地方政府管理带来的挑战——以吉林省为例

民营经济是推动政府体制改革的重要力量,而政府管理创新则是推动民营经济蓬勃发展的重要保证。改革开放以来,吉林省民营经济创下许多佳绩,但是同全国民营经济发展状况相比,不论是经济总量还是速度水平都存在较大的差距,还有许多因素制约着民营经济的发展。只有创新地方政府的管理,转变政府职能,改革政府传统的行政管理方式,积极培育和引进民营经济的创业主体,创造条件解决民营经济在发展中的资源要素问题,才能促进民营经济的发展。

The effect of board size and composition on European bank performance

Banks are “special” financial institutions generating distinct corporate governance challenges. The present paper examines the relationship between two of the most pertinent corporate governance factors—that is, the size of the Board of Directors and the proportion of non-executive directors—and firm performance on a sample of 58 large European banks over the period 2002–2004. The empirical analysis embraces a number of bank-specific variables. Our results reveal that bank profitability is negatively related to the size of the Board of Directors, while the impact of Board composition, although positive in all models, is, in most cases, insignificant. The results are robust after controlling for firm-specific variables.      

关于更新管理观念的几点思考

管理观念的更新历来为杰出的管理思想家所重视,而且把它看作是管理人才与管理人员的重要区别。管理观念在“管理”中占居首席位置,管理观念的落后将导致整个管理系统的落后。更新管理观念会遇到各个方面的阻碍,主要来自于文化的惯性、制度的惯性、利益的惯性、权威的惯性四个方面的阻碍,因而更新管理观念实际上是不同思想观念的正面较量。

Acidic and neutral drugs screen in blood with quantitation using microbore high-performance liquid chromatography–diode array detection and capillary gas chromatography–flame ionization detection

Blood previously acidified with aqueous saturated ammonium chloride solution was extracted with ethyl acetate. The dried extract was subjected to acetonitrile–hexane partition. The acetonitrile portion was analysed for the presence of acidic and neutral drugs by HPLC–DAD (200 mm×2.1 mm I.D. microbore ODS-Hypersil column) and GC–FID (25 m narrow-bore×0.25 mm I.D. HP-5 column with 0.33 μm film thickness). The protocol was found to be suitable for both clinical toxicology (including emergency toxicology) and postmortem toxicology. At least 66 drugs of interest were unequivocally identified by RRTs (HPLC) and UV spectra (DAD) match while another 12 were unequivocally identified by double RRTs match (HPLC and GC). Quantitation was facilitated by incorporating calibration blood standards in each assay batch. The five drugs most commonly encountered in clinical blood specimens (1150 cases) were: paracetamol (47.4% of the cases); chlormezanone (6.6%), theophylline (1.74%), naproxen (1.65%) and mefenamic acid (1.56%). The following drugs were detected in toxicologically significant quantities in postmortem blood specimens (245 cases): phenobarbitone (1.22% of the cases), naproxen (0.82%), chlormezanone (0.82%), theophylline (0.82%), carbamazepine (0.41%) and paracetamol (0.41%).
