创造国际直接投资新环境开拓中俄经贸合作新局面

中俄两国经贸关系走上了正常发展的轨道,相互投资成为深化两国经济关系的重要内容。国际直接投资是突破贸易壁垒、进入一国市场的重要手段,也是稳定中俄经济关系的根本基础。中俄相互投资存在经济转轨尚未完全实现、法律法规不健全、缺乏有效的筹资渠道、沟通渠道不畅等制度性和基础性障碍。为促进中俄两国相互投资健康、快速发展,应在签定双边投资协定、建立中俄商业协会、开辟投资融资途径、相互建立工业园区以及举办投资洽谈会等方面构建相互投资的宏观环境。

Fabrication of compound nonwoven materials for soft body armor

The primary objective of body armor research is the development of low-cost, lightweight, wearable garments that effectively resist ballistic impact. This study introduces a material intended to reduce nonpenetration trauma by absorbing energy from ballistic impacts. Layers of web were made by low-melting point polyester (LMPET) on unaligned fibers of high-strength polyamide 6 (HSPA6). A compound nonwoven fabric was made by laying high-strength Vectran filaments between two layers of HSPA6-LMPET web. The new fabric underwent needle punching and thermal bonding to form a composite sandwich structure. The new fabric was subjected to a falling weight impact test and a ballistic impact test. The results indicated that the material with the new design reduced maximum indentation depth by 8%. Furthermore, soft body armor made from the material with the new design would cost less to produce and would weigh 22.5% less than conventional soft body armor.     

Application of three spectrometric methods to total selenium determination in postmortem material in a case of acute selenium compound poisoning

Three spectrometric methods, that is, spectrofluorimetry (SF), atomic absorption spectrometry with electrothermal atomization (ET-AAS), and atomic fluorescence spectrometry with hydride generation (HG-AFS) were used for the determination of total selenium in biological samples taken from postmortem material in a case of acute selenium compound poisoning. The precision of the SF, ET-AAS, and HG-AFS methods (RSD, n=10) was found to be in the ranges of 10.0-15.0, 3.0-6.0 and 1.0-1.5%, respectively, and the detection limit was 10.0, 4.0, and 0.1 μg/L of Se, respectively. In the case of HG-AFS, the analytical procedure takes less time and is less laborious than the other methods considered. The obtained results show the usefulness of the HG-AFS method as a supplementary analytical tool to the SF and ET-AAS methods with respect to the determination of selenium as well as the possibility of using this method as a primary one in forensic toxicology practice.     

基于“脆弱性-能力”综合视角的公共安全评价框架:形成与范式

国际社会的公共安全评估框架在不断发展之中,从单独的脆弱性视角或能力视角进行公共安全评价,到形成较为完善的公共安全评价的脆弱性-能力综合视角,大体经历了三个过程。本文阐述了在脆弱性-能力综合视角下的公共安全评价主要研究内容,以及该评价框架的范式与应用。脆弱性-能力综合视角的评价框架研究,把质性研究与定量方法相结合,从脆弱性和应对能力综合的视角出发,通过引入系统动力学,提出了一种公共安全与公共危机管理动态评价的新思路,构建了一个公共安全与公共危机管理的动态评价和识别框架,为公共安全评价工具和方法提供新的视角和前提。     

沈阳制造业集群FDI溢出效应研究

近年来,国际直接投资的迅猛发展加速了经济全球化的步伐,带动了产业资本在全球范围内的重新配置。作为中国制造业的重要集聚地,沈阳随着经济的高速增长和投资环境的改善,己经成为承接国际产业转移,吸引外商直接投资（FDI）的重要基地。同时沈阳制造业的发展逐渐呈现出产业集群的趋势。笔者认为在这个过程中基于多种因素FDI的进入并没有像预期的那样给沈阳制造业产业集群带来溢出效应,我们应该关注的并不是FDI在扩大产业集群规模上的作用,而是如何从质量方面来提升产业集群,更好的发挥溢出效应,针对这一问题笔者提出了相应的政策建议。     

中国式分权下的地方政府竞争对FDI技术溢出效应的影响

中国式分权的典型特点是以政治集权为实施背景,政治经济双重激励下各地方政府针对FDI展开激烈的优惠政策竞争,这些竞争会通过降低流入外资质量或提高外资企业相对竞争力的方式影响FDI的技术溢出效应。本文利用1995--2006年省级动态面板数据考察了分税制改革后财政分权对FDI技术溢出效应的影响。研究发现,FDI可以显著提高我国全要素生产率水平,但财政分权带来的恶性引资竞争会阻碍这种促进作用;分地区回归表明,东部地区地方政府竞争不会阻碍FDI对技术进步的促进作用;西部地区引资质量较低,FDI会阻碍区内生产率水平提高,并且地方政府竞争会加剧这种阻碍作用。     

Gunshot residue in Chicago police vehicles and facilities: an empirical study

Suspects in shooting investigations in Chicago are routinely transported in department vehicles and detained in department facilities prior to gunshot residue (GSR) evidence collection. The GSR test results are used to associate the suspect with primary exposure to GSR. The potential for these vehicles and facilities being sources of secondary GSR contamination needed to be determined. A total of 201 samples were collected from randomly selected vehicles and detention facilities. The sampling collected trace materials from surfaces that suspects' hands may contact during the arrest process. These samples were examined for the presence of GSR particles using scanning electron microscopy. Upon completion of the automated analysis, those particles that met an initial GSR screening criterion were relocated and reanalyzed. The locations where GSR particles were recovered allowed us to make recommendations to the Chicago Police Department with regard to transporting and detaining these suspects. The low number of GSR particles recovered suggests that the potential for secondary contamination, although present, is relatively low.     

Observing FDI spillover transmission channels: evidence from firms in Uganda

Abstract

We observe and analyse three intra-industry foreign direct investment (FDI) spillover transmission channels using unique firm-level data collected from on-site interviews and observations regarding domestic and foreign firms operating in Uganda in 2015. Our main results are: (1) the spillover effects mainly depend on the channel(s) by which they occur (the competition channel is most important while spillover benefits through the worker mobility and the imitation channels are less prevalent) and (2) both positive and negative spillover effects occur within the same channel and, moreover, effects differ by channel for the same case. These are novel and challenging findings that have not yet been recognised in theoretical and empirical research on FDI spillovers. Our results suggest that long-term pecuniary spillover effects are predominantly stimulated via the competition channel and show that only limited short-term and long-term technological spillover effects occur through the imitation and the movement of workers channels. These channels are not only less prevalent, but also appear to be constrained by competition-determined spillovers. We are confident that these directions for future research will have a high pay-off because, as shown by this exploratory fieldwork, a more complete picture of the spillover effects is reached when the channels are considered simultaneously.
