Exploring agricultural advice networks,beneficial management practices and water quality on the landscape: A geospatial social-ecological systems analysis

Agricultural practices have been linked to detrimental effects on ecosystems, with water quality of particular concern. Research has been devoted to understanding uptake of beneficial, or best, management practices (BMPs) in agriculture; however, sources of advice and subsequent effects on the landscape have not been elucidated. This study set out to understand (1) what sources of information agricultural producers rely on when making land-management decisions; (2) the characteristics of their advice networks; and (3) how the advice network linked spatially to water quality on the landscape. A watershed in Alberta was used as a case study and respondents identified that regional advisors were relied upon most often for advice and these advisors had the most influence on the adoption of BMPs. Results indicate that respondents with connections to regional actors implemented more BMPs that those without. Regional government actors had a greater effect than regional non-governmental actors. Local actors played a lesser role in advice networks related to BMP adoption. A 3D geovisualization was used to explore linkages among advisors, BMPs, and water quality. This technique may be useful for other scenarios and can contribute to policy development and enhanced practices.     

Lagged effect of daily surface acting on subsequent day’s fatigue

The present research investigated the causal relationship between daily surface acting and fatigue at the within-person level. With a longitudinal approach – experience sampling method – based on 10 successive days’ data, this study explored the lagged consequence of service employees’ daily surface acting. The results of multilevel analysis showed that the daily performance of surface acting decreased service employees’ subsequent day’s emotional well-being in the form of increased fatigue. Further, sleep conditions were found to alleviate this detrimental effect. This within-person level investigation of the causal lagged effect of daily surface acting and its moderating contextual factor complements the current emotional labor literature that has overly focused on the between-person level. The theoretical and managerial implications were discussed.

试论我国公司清算制度的缺陷与完善

公司清算制度是市场经济法制体系中重要的制度之一,但是,由于目前我国公司清算法律尚存在一些缺陷,现行公司清算制度未能有效保护国家、公司员工、债权人和股东合法权益。政府行政部门有权随意撤销和关闭公司,普通清算程序与破产清算程序存在冲突,清算小组是否有资格承担民事责任存在模糊。完善我国公司清算制度,必须废除行政清算程序,规范普通清算程序与破产清算程序,并明确规定清算小组的主体身份。

欧美网络中立规制研究的经济法分析

经济法学领域的文献是网络中立研究的重要组成部分。当前欧美关于网络中立研究的经济法学视角主要形成了三派观点:支持网络中立并提出相关建议,质疑甚至反对网络中立规制,以有限中立、合作规制为理念的第三条道路。经济法学文献总体上支持网络中立规制,包含理性和建设性,对推进网络中立规制的研究和实践具有重要启示。     

旅游合同立法的几个基础性问题

只有明确了旅游合同的立法体例、立法目的和制度设计框架等方面的问题,才能在立法上确立旅游合同制度。现有的研究对旅游合同的概念、性质以及归责原则等方面都有了一定的积累,在上述研究基础之上,可以推导出下列结论：在不同的立法体例下,对旅游合同会有不同的概念阐释;旅行社的责任应当是立法的重点,在《合同法》严格责任的制度框架下,应当在旅游合同的归责原则方面作出过错责任的制度设计。
