略论国际反恐怖法与人类的可持续发展

人类发展的不平衡,是造成国际恐怖主义的原因之一。由于国际恐怖主义的存在,人类陷入了一场持久而深重的灾难中。人类可持续发展的进程也因此受到阻碍。国际反恐怖法在制定和实施过程中应融入可持续发展的价值理念,确保人类生态及弱势方在国际反恐怖法中受到保护。     

“常态性”贸易战对我国经济与就业的影响研究

中美贸易战对我国经济增长和就业扩大产生了不利影响，阻碍了全球经济复苏的步伐。改革开 放以来，贸易摩擦已成为中国必须面对的一种常态现象。在中美贸易战的背景下，中国经济和就业结构正处于 转型升级的关键时期，面临着诸多的挑战，包括经济下行压力增大、与贸易战直接相关的产业及其就业形势不 容乐观、经济结构调整导致摩擦性失业增多等。为此，应加快贸易发展方式转变，实施主动进口的贸易政策， 合理加大对外投资力度，充分利用和熟悉国际贸易规则，同时高度重视对劳动力的教育和培训，增强劳动者的 就业适应能力。     

俄罗斯经济增长因素实证分析

俄罗斯建国十多年以来,纵观其各年GDP增长,1995年经济开始有了起色,虽然1997、1998年受到金融危机的影响GDP有所下降,但是危机过后到现在,一直保持增长趋势。经验认为,俄罗斯经济增长与其能源出口、制度改革、居民消费、汇率贬值和稳定的政治局势有很大关系,通过建立多元回归模型,对影响俄罗斯经济增长的主要因素进行实证分析,来验证学术界存在的观点,并根据结论提出保持经济稳定性增长的对策。

Policy space under a constraining combination – open economies,austerity and small island states

Small island developing states (SIDS) face significant economic, social and environmental challenges. Current mainstream approaches to SIDS recognise these limitations and thus promote increased economic integration into the international economy to provide the governments with resources and power to counter the effects of these challenges. Yet these remedies have so far led to high levels of deficits and high levels of indebtedness, as well as high levels of vulnerability and dependence on key sectors that offer very income- and economically sensitive products and services. In addition, and in assessing the experience of Caribbean SIDS, these remedies have led to diminishing government policy space. This has in turn contributed to the lack of real innovation in the way Caribbean SIDS interact with the volatile international market. While much has been written about the economic impact of open markets and the inherent weaknesses within SIDS, the analysis herein allows for the development of a more comprehensive assessment of the implications for the SIDS’ policy space as well as their ability to regain it and develop innovative approaches that avoid uniquely reactionary measures to the current international economy and its gyrations.     

Growth,governance and corruption in Bangladesh: a re-assessment

This paper revisits Bangladesh’s ‘double paradox’ – sustained macroeconomic growth despite the poor state of governance and a high level of corruption – by critically reviewing trends in governance and corruption indicators during 1990–2017 vis-à-vis other South Asian countries. In addition, we draw upon data from a purposefully designed survey of manufacturing firms to assess the state of economic governance in the export-oriented ready-made garments (RMG) sector, the country’s main source of foreign exchange and driver of economic growth. Consistent with the country’s poor ranking in a host of indicators of investment climate and corruption perception, in-depth interviews of RMG factory owners confirm the high cost of doing business in various forms. We also find no evidence of growth-mediated improvements in indicators of governance. On the contrary, our review of print media reports suggests a growing governance deficit in the country’s financial sector. We conclude by discussing the implications of our findings for the country’s future growth as well as performance of the RMG sector.     

Decentralised governance and empowerment of county governments in China: betting on the weak or the strong?

Decentralised economic development initiatives empowering local governments have gained currency in both developed and developing contexts. The empowerment of county governments in China is a case in point. This study uses difference-in-differences (DID) and the fixed-effects model with panel data (1997–2008) in counties in Zhejiang Province to empirically investigate the different impacts of the empowerment reform on county economies and fiscal revenue (FR). The results reveal that the reform has not promoted county economies as expected but has significantly increased FR. The reform has had a larger impact on less developed counties than on developed ones, which suggests a positive outcome of this decentralisation policy in China with regard to revenue generation. This study on county empowerment in Zhejiang Province provides some policy implications for other regions in China or developing countries.     

Cohousing For Whom? Survey Evidence to Support the Diffusion of Socially and Spatially Integrated Housing in the United States

Cohousing is a resident-led neighborhood development model that clusters private dwelling units around collectively owned and managed spaces, with potential to address long-term social and environmental challenges in American metropolitan regions. To date, however, the cohousing model has been slow to diffuse beyond a demographically narrow following. This limited following may signal to policymakers that cohousing is an unappealing housing model, and therefore an impractical policy objective. Drawing from a survey of 1,000 American residents, the results of a multivariate regression model suggest that (a) many of the characteristics of the current resident population of cohousing in the United States have no statistical association with the individuals who indicate interest in cohousing nationwide; (b) other characteristics serve as better predictors of interest in cohousing; and therefore (c) the slow diffusion of cohousing is likely the consequence of inaccessibility rather than low appeal. Overcoming these challenges demands shifts in policy.     

Disquieting growth: urban space in Kawashima Yūzō's film Suzaki Paradise Red Light

This article examines how Japanese postwar cinematic texts manifest and comment upon contemporary political and economic events, and considers the usefulness of cinema for a more complete historical understanding of the period. In particular, it argues for the significance of fūzoku eiga, or ‘films of customs and manners’ by analyzing a representative text of that genre, Kawashima Yūzō's 1956 film Suzaki Paradise Red Light. Although Kawashima's film has been treated as an apolitical melodrama, a close textual analysis reveals it to be a counter-narrative to the success story of postwar economic recovery and growth that the Japanese state sought to promote. Key to this analysis is an examination of the urban space of the Suzaki neighborhood in Tokyo, as depicted in the film. Kawashima's tour of Suzaki addresses the issues of the economic stagnation within the metropolis, uneven development, and the liminal space of muen, or ‘no ties,’ which offers a brief refuge from an increasingly disciplined everyday life.     

VEGF在早期心肌梗死死后诊断中的应用

运用免疫组化方法和图像分析与统计学处理系统 ,对人体心脏标本VEGF的表达进行定量研究。结果显示 :心肌梗死组 2 4例心脏标本心肌细胞膜及血管内皮细胞膜均可见棕黄色VEGF强阳性染色 ,有些胞浆也呈阳性 ,尤以心肌梗死灶周围区域心肌细胞为甚 ;在可疑梗死组 2 1例中 ,19例心肌细胞膜及血管内皮细胞膜VEGF强阳性 ,2例为弱阳性 ,未见阴性 ;在正常心脏对照组 16例中 ,仅 1例见心肌细胞膜及血管内皮细胞膜散在棕黄色VEGF弱阳性 ,其余均为阴性。图像分析与统计学处理结果表明 ,对照组VEGF阳性指数 ( 0 3 0± 0 10 )明显低于心肌梗死组 ( 12 46± 3 2 6,P<0 0 1)和可疑梗死组 ( 11 70± 3 5 6,P <0 0 1) ,后两组之间阳性指数无明显差异 (P >0 0 5 )。提示运用免疫组化染色方法结合图像分析处理技术定量检测心肌局部VEGF的表达可望作为因早期心肌缺血导致心脏性猝死死后诊断较为客观的病理形态学指标之一。
