物联网保驾护航 五常大米卖高价

正"五常大米香天下,天下大米乱五常"。两年前,一则"副市长进京打假维权五常大米"的信息曾广为热议,说的是五常大米因遇消费者信任危机,市场上充斥了"按需勾兑,掺假售米"等现象,为了维护五常70万农民的权益,黑龙江省哈尔滨五常市副市长带着维权小组进京维     

依法办社 团结一心 共建社会主义和谐新农村

我是吉林省梨树县夏家农民合作社的理事长张淑香.我们梨树县夏家农民合作社创建于2000年4月,最初是由6户从事养猪的社员联合购买饲料开始合作发展的.2005年,我们合作社建了一个年产5000吨的饲料加工厂.到目前为止,已发展社员172户,辐射县内4个乡镇,并设立夏甸子、太平川两个分社,社员共有耕地面积170公顷,养殖圈舍160栋,每年生产各类经济作物1800吨,出栏生猪3500头,各种禽类17万只,社员户均收入12000元.六年来,在各级领导和社会各界的关怀和帮助下,经过全体社员的共同努力和艰苦创业,合作社紧紧围绕社员增收致富这条主线,积极为社员提供全方位、周到有效的各项服务,取得了良好的经济效益和社会效益,走上了健康规范的发展道路.我们主要为社员做了以下几件事情:     

关于薪酬

最近一段时间,与薪酬有关的两则新闻引起社会各界的广泛关注.一则是,珠三角地区的民工荒再度出现,而且很严重;另一则是,麦当劳、肯德基、必胜客等多家国际知名企业在大量使用非全日制职工的同时,在工资待遇、超时使用员工、不给员工购买工伤保险、单方回收合同等方面涉嫌违规.     

27年的农家账本

家庭流水账记录大历史--23年上缴税费16230元 "车费78元,气球8元,宝葫芦农庄门票70元,划船45元,烟丝15元……"5月2日那天,王海和老伴像城里人一样,带着孙子孙女在郊区的游乐园玩了一整天,晚上还去参观了赣州市黄金广场的音乐喷泉.尽管回家已是深夜了,老王还是拿出账本,认真地记下了当天的开销.     

巨鹿:饮水也是一场革命

河北省巨鹿县地处风沙盐碱的黑港流域,是国家扶贫开发工作重点县。吃水难是农村生活中最突击的问题,全县有72%的村子靠水窖储水,14%的村子吃露天池水,还有6%的村子从外村买水吃。而且不少地方的水质高氟苦咸,不卫生、不安全。有一些村子的群众苦不堪言、怨声不断。吃水问题成了群众生活中的第一难。     

为塑料袋打包

上周发行的《财富周刊》中指出,美国之外的很多国家对于塑料袋污染问题都采取了行动.爱尔兰对每个塑料袋征收两毛钱的税,这一做法减少了90%的塑料袋用量.南非也对塑料袋征税,印度孟买则完全禁止使用塑料袋.如今,反对塑料袋的行动也蔓延到了美国.在当地的一些超市反对使用塑料袋的呼声下,旧金山市正准备立法要求超市为顾客提供由纸张、玉米或土豆淀粉生产的可降解购物袋来替代塑料袋.     

欲望的鸵鸟皮革

近几年,国际鸵鸟产业显示出非常强劲的发展态势.鸵鸟肉蛋在食品工业中创造了越来越高的产值,而鸵鸟皮更是愈显珍贵.目前,国外一张10平房方英尺-15平方英尺的鸵鸟生产批售价折合人民币2000元左右,而用鸵鸟皮搭配设计的皮鞋售价比牛皮鞋高出几倍甚至十几倍;用鸵鸟皮制作的包、袋、皮衣同样名贵,因此业内已经看好这一市场前景,一股鸵鸟养殖和深加工的新兴产业正在广西、陕西等地兴起.     

Excel中保留小数后的运算方法

在日常工作中,常常遇到保留小数后的运算,笔者前不久就遇到这个情况:原农村合作基金会股单兑付结算利息,设定好第一行的公式,向下一拉,计算结果就出来了,但只能保留两位小数,所以又选中利息那一列右击"设置单元格格式"选择"数值"在小数位数处选择保留两位,接着又使用求和快捷方式,计算本期兑付共需支付多少利息.     

拉近远教距离

"远程教育好是好,山高路远难得跑",这是贵州省黔西县开展远程教学培训时群众的概叹。由于全县地势山高坡陡、农户居住分散,有的村面积大,在村站点统一培训无法     

喜迎新年

辞旧瑞犬歌日丽,迎新金猪报年丰.丰收的锣鼓,敲醒崭新的岁月;绽放的寒梅,书写春天的讯息.在满目葱茏的绿色里,在万物苏醒的萌芽中,在蕴涵生机的笑脸上,新年踏着钟声的节拍如期到来.欢歌与彩球伴着"神舟"的捷报飞升,巨龙和雄狮随着祖国建设新一页的开启欢腾起舞.在这沸腾时刻,一声声真诚的祝福从每个人的口中涌出:新年好!阵阵迎春爆竹此起彼伏,束束五彩烟花凌空绽放,声声新年钟声雄浑悠扬.我们又迎来新的一春.     

Price transmission between products at different stages of manufacturing in forest industries

The theory of demand and supply implies a positive relationship, or “price transmission” between the prices of products at different stages of manufacturing. This relationship was investigated with quarterly prices of softwood stumpage in the US South, and national prices of forest products, from 1977 to 2002. All prices, net of inflation, were found to be nonstationary and there was no evidence of co-integration between prices. Vector autogressive models, augmented by Granger causality tests and multiplier analysis showed that there was a one-to-one permanent positive response of the southern sawtimber stumpage price to a permanent change in the national lumber price. There was also a one-third permanent positive response of the national paper price to a permanent change in the national pulp price. There was no relation between regional pulpwood prices and national pulp or paper prices. When price transmission was significant, the full adjustment took about 2 years.     

Application of an ecosystem function framework to perceptions of community woodlands

Owners, local residents, government, and conservation organisations can express divergent preferences in the development and management of local woodlands. The perceptions of these four groups were examined, in the context of three community woodlands in Eastern England, using an ecosystem function framework. In a pilot study, residents were able to allocate a relative importance to woodland ecosystem services which were then related to “regulation”, “habitat”, and “production” or “information” functions. However residents also placed importance on negative services or “dis-services” associated with the woodland ecosystem. Therefore a fifth category of “dis-services” was included in the main survey which included 84 local residents, three woodland owners, three government institutions, and six representatives from conservation groups. Each of the four groups placed greatest importance on services associated with habitat (16–39% of the total importance) and information (30–50%) functions suggesting, in this example, mutual interest in the use of woodlands as a habitat or recreational resource. By contrast a potential area of difference was the particularly high importance placed by one owner on dis-services such as fly tipping. In addition the woodland owners placed higher importance (10–20%), than local residents and conservation groups (7–9%), on the productive services of the wood. This suggests a need for communication when production-related operations affect recreation. The ecosystem function framework appears to be a useful approach for highlighting potential tensions and areas of mutual interest in the management of semi-natural ecosystems.     

The Effect of the Structural Adjustment Program on the Output,Prices and Exports of Major Agricultural Export Crops in Nigeria

The primary objective of this paper is to examine changes in the level of output, prices and exports of major export crops resulting from the Structural Adjustment Program (SAP) in Nigeria. THere two main sources of data: the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) through its annual reports, Economic and Financial Review, and the Nigerian Federal Office of Statistics (FOS) through its Trade Summaries. Although the SAP led to appreciable increases in output and producer prices, its effects on exports were insignificant. The implications of these for the implementation of the program are explored.     

In Vino ‘No’ Veritas: impacts of fraud on wine imports in China

China is one of the largest wine importing countries in the world and is poised for continued import growth in the future. Increased wine purchases throughout China have given rise to persistent fraud where fake wines are packaged and sold with counterfeit contents and labels. For exporting countries like France, counterfeit wines displace market share, damage foreign brand reputation, and cause distrust in consumers who are aware of counterfeiting problems throughout the country. We examine the impact of fraudulent wine events (as measured by negative media reports) on Chinese wine demand differentiated by supplying country. We employ the Rotterdam demand system and a switching regression procedure to estimate import demand and compare results across different media variable specifications. Results consistently show that negative reports disproportionately affect French wine regardless of how the media variable is specified. This is not surprising because most fraudulent events involve French wine counterfeits.

An evaluation framework for earthquake-responsive land administration

In recent years earthquakes and their secondary hazards have claimed the largest number of lives of all large natural disasters. Some of the world’s most earthquake-prone zones are also areas of high population density. The impact is magnified by vulnerability factors including non-enforcement of building codes, knowledge gaps, urban poverty and poor governance capacity to manage and reduce earthquake risks. Poor security of land tenure and property rights increases the vulnerability of people and affects their ability to respond to natural disasters.Earthquake recovery and reconstruction provides very significant challenges for land agencies, with these challenges differing from one country to the next due to differences in the local context. Drawing on contrasting case studies in Haiti, Nepal and New Zealand this paper identifies the common post-earthquake land administration functions and challenges that may apply to many contexts. These lessons provide land agencies and other key stakeholders with a summary of the challenges an earthquake poses for land administration at different post-disaster stages. We also discuss the policy and regulatory, institutional, operational and preparedness lessons for land administration. From these lessons we propose a framework for evaluating the earthquake-responsiveness of a land administration system. This framework can be used by a land agency in an earthquake prone region, or where an earthquake has recently occurred, to assess what challenges to land administration might occur in the event of an earthquake, and the preparedness of their land administration system.     

Evaluating Alternative Policy Responses to Higher World Food Prices: The Case of Increasing Rice Prices in Madagascar

Higher world food prices have led many developing countries to adopt policies to mitigate the impact on low-income households. This article sets out a partial equilibrium framework to evaluate the efficiency, distributional, and revenue implications of alternative policy responses. The model is applied to evaluate tariff reductions and targeted transfers in Madagascar. Although lowering tariffs generates substantial efficiency gains, these accrue mainly to the top half of the welfare distribution, and poor net sellers are actually worse off. Developing a system of targeted direct transfers to poor households is likely to be a substantially more cost-effective approach to poverty alleviation.     

Agrarian Poverty,Nutrition and Economic Class – A Study of Gujarat,India

This paper analyses poverty and calorific undernourishment in the Indian state of Gujarat, where high and market‐led industrial growth has resulted in rapid economic improvement. The study is carried out through a combination of secondary and survey‐based data. We conclude that the neoliberal agenda of uncontrolled, outward‐looking growth has not resulted in significant reduction of poverty or malnourishment in rural areas. Furthermore, while land ownership is officially used as a proxy for wealth distribution, class position appears a better predictor of poverty status in the rural areas than landownership per se. At the policy level, there is a need to revive the agrarian economy and create new non‐agricultural assets, and the primary focus in the state must shift to the distribution of created assets rather than a single‐minded focus on growth.     

Revealing different understandings of soil held by scientists and farmers in the context of soil protection and management

This paper aims to analyse and draw together results from similar studies in England, Switzerland and France which investigated farmers’ understanding of soil and compared it with that of scientists, researchers and advisors (collectively called scientists in this analysis). A range of methods were used across the three studies and different theoretical approaches, looking at forms of knowledge, local practice of knowledge production and conceptions of reality, were employed to explain the results. Despite the different contexts, methodologies and theoretical approaches in the three studies, the results reveal similar patterns of difference in farmer and scientist understanding of soil. In the English study, farmers demonstrate a ‘know-how’ form or intuitive working knowledge of soil while advisors rely on scientifically established forms of ‘know-why’ and seek to understand and explain soil processes. Similarly in the Swiss study farmers’ and scientists’ differing perceptions are directed and shaped by their respective aims, methods and context of work. In the French study, farmers and researchers are shown to have different conceptions of soil, they attribute different meaning to the same activities, and use different words and language to describe the same features. In all three studies understanding is shown to be cultural and contextual, as such an integrative theoretical framework is proposed.
