煤炭资源型地区生态环境保护问题研究

煤炭资源在我国国民经济和社会发展中起到了极其重要的作用,但在其开采利用过程中,却对生态环境造成了严重的污染和破坏。究其原因,与法律法规不完善、政府的监管不力以及煤炭企业不当的环保理念不无关系。基于此,文章提出今后应完善相关的法律法规,政府应担当起真正的监管责任,煤炭企业要担负起自己的环保责任。     

利用现代信息技术推进煤矿职工安全培训工作

现代信息技术在煤矿安全培训中的利用,优化了教学过程,扩大了教育信息增长率,有利于实现培训教学的最优化。利用现代信息技术,增强煤矿安全培训实效性,就要充分利用多媒体教学技术,提高课堂教学质量;充分利用可视化仿真培训系统,模拟真实环境;充分利用安全警示教育软件,让学员“亲临事故现场”;注重网络教学系统的开发,搭建更加宽广的学习平台;充分利用计算机考试系统,建立高效、严谨的评价体系;充分利用培训信息管理系统,提升培训管理水平。     

浅议我国煤炭行业节能减排

气候的异常、能源的紧缺掀起了低碳经济的浪潮,作为煤炭占能源主导地位的国家,由于高碳的性质,使得我国煤炭行业节能减排的任务繁重,而且现在煤炭行业存在产业整体性差、资源浪费严重、后备资源不足、煤矿规模结构不合理、环境污染严重等一系列问题,为了做好节能减排工作,煤炭行业要从系统节能、资源耦合、企业转型、融资租赁等方面着手,由高碳向低碳转变,促进煤炭行业低碳经济的发展。     

我国煤矿安全监察激励机制设计研究

落实以人为本的安全发展观,构建有效的煤矿安全监管长效机制,保证煤矿安全工作持续稳定健康发展,是摆在我国政府及煤矿安全监管部门面前的一项重大课题。本文从分析煤矿安全监察激励因素的划分入手,重点论述了安全监察激励机制的内涵。在此基础上,构建了以组织目标体系、诱导因素集合和个人因素集合为支点的煤矿安全监察激励机制设计模型。     

群体性突发事件的机理研究

群体性突发事件的发生不是孤立事件,而是一系列时间相继发生的结果。借用美国海因里希的事故因果连锁分析模型和社会物理学的社会燃烧理论进行探讨分析,结论是：任何事件的产生都必须具备三个基本条件,一是燃烧材料,二是助燃剂,三是点火温度。三个基本条件缺一不可。在因果连锁模型中把社会环境不稳定状态视为“燃烧物质”,而信息熵视为“助燃剂”,群体性突发事件视为“点火温度”。明确每一个方面的机理机制,提出治理措施,才能把问题解决好。     

心证自由的层次性分析及其客观化制约

心证自由有两个层次 ,即狭义上的心证自由和广义上的心证自由。自由心证制度将会受到更多制约是大势所趋。其主要受心证主体客观条件、诉讼程序内在规律、证据法律规则、经验和逻辑规则、心证公开制度的制约。要使自由心证制度在我国走向理性化、规范化必须提高法官队伍的素质 ,改革审判委员会制度和错案追究制 ,推动我国现有诉讼模式尽快向当事人主义过渡 ,并切实保障心证过程公开化     

煤炭开采利益公平分配研究

长期以来,我国在资源开发尤其是煤炭开采中存在着利益冲突,这些冲突是由多方面的原因导致的,我国应构建煤炭开采利益分配新体系,以实现社会发展的实质公平。     

Power and powerlessness in an Appalachian Valley – revisited

ABSTRACT

With the rise of Trump support in rural Appalachia – the coal mining, mountainous region in the heartland of the eastern United States – media and other commentators have rushed to explain this conservative politics in ‘exceptionalist’ terms, largely based on cultural stereotypes. Revisiting my work on Power and Powerlessness in an Appalachian Valley (1980), I argue that the attention to ‘Trumpism’ fails to see or take into account the widespread rural resistance which exists in the region, historically and presently. A focus on the rise of place-based grassroots activism and scholarship in the region offers a more emancipatory view of rural politics.     

The problem with the “portfolio approach” in American energy policy

One predominant theme in American energy and electricity policy is the idea of a “portfolio approach,” or that society must embrace an assortment of different energy technologies simultaneously. This article argues that such a strategy, in practice, is (a) biased, since fossil fuel and nuclear technologies have been heavily favored; (b) opaque, obscuring the different full social costs of energy systems; (c) inequitable, promoting technologies that contribute to climate change; and (d) unsophisticated, ignoring important qualitative differences among technologies. The article estimates the full social costs of electricity generation, concluding that the five cheapest forms of electricity generation are all renewable resources; that intermittency is not a reason to reject renewable energy technologies; that nuclear power has significant technical and environmental problems, especially from a greenhouse gas emissions and climate change perspective; and that “clean coal” and carbon capture and sequestration technologies face significant challenges to deployment.     

Melting Down and Scaling Up: Stabilizing Climate Change by Promoting Private Sector Technology Development

This paper will examine the role the private sector plays in researching, developing, and deploying technology that has the potential to deter or decrease the impacts of global warming. It will explore the degree to which the private sector can have an impact on global warming by focusing on four specific technologies: aircraft engines, wind turbines, solar energy, and clean coal technologies. We will compare the environmental impact of these technologies with the business case for pursuing each, specifically related to profitability and market maturity. We conclude that the business case alone is not sufficiently compelling to stimulate meaningful industry investment in these areas. Consequently, specific government involvement is needed for CO₂ reduction. This analysis will shed light on the role that government must play in order to more effectively engage potential private sector players in the global warming challenge.
