关于财政支持农村基础设施建设的思考

建设社会主义新农村,是党中央为统筹城乡发展、解决"三农"问题而采取的一项重大举措,它深刻体现了贯彻落实科学发展观与构建社会主义和谐社会的时代特征和要求,集中代表了亿万农民群众的强烈愿望和根本利益。同时,建设社会主义新农村也是一项复杂的、浩大的系统工程。加强农村基础设施建设,显著改善农村居民居住条件和物资生活环境,是建设社会主义新农村的重要一环。财政部门应立足自身实际,结合工作职能,支持农村基础设施建设。     

农村基础设施建设文献综述研究

农村基础设施和公共设施建设是社会主义新农村建设的重要内容之一,直接关系到农业生产条件的改善、农村村容村貌的改变和农民生活质量的提高。本文对各学者对我国在农村基础设施建设过程中出现的各种问题和解决措施进行了归纳,并做了总结。     

三农点滴

●统筹城乡发展,推进社会主义新农村建设胡锦涛同志在十七大报告中指出,要促进国民经济又好又快发展。统筹城乡发展,推进社会主义新农村建设。解决好农业、农村、农民问题,事关全面建设小康社会大局,必须始终作为全党工作的重中之重。要加强农业基础地位,走中国特色农业现代化道路,建立以工促农、以城带乡长效机制,形成城乡经济社会发展一体化新格局。坚持把发展现代农业、繁荣农村经济作为首要任务,加强农村基础设施建设,健全农村市场和农业服务体系。加大支农惠农政策力度,严格保护耕地,增加农业投入,促进农业科技进步,增强农业综合生产能力,确保国家粮食安全。     

在落实科学发展观中努力建设社会主义新农村

建设社会主义新农村首先要加快农业和农村经济发展,加强农村基础设施建设,发展农村公共事业,推进平安创建工作,引领农村经济社会发展步入新境界,促进城乡协调发展和社会和谐.     

广西农村基础设施管理的现状及对策探究

农村基础设施是建设社会主义新农村的重要组成部分,直接关系到农村经济生活的发展。在加快社会主义新农村建设的背景下,加强农村基础设施管理对促进农业发展、实现全面建设小康社会的战略具有重大意义。近年来随着农村经济的快速发展,新农村建设水平的不断提高,农民对于公共基础设施的需求越来越大,但在满足农民需求的同时,由于对农村基础设施缺乏有效管理,使现有的农村基础设施不能发挥最大效用,从而制约了农村经济的发展。研究农村基础设施管理的现状及对策对农村经济发展,社会主义新农村建设具有重要的现实意义。     

社会主义新农村建设中的和谐体现

党的十六届五中全会建议提出了"生产发展,生活宽裕,乡村文明,村容整洁,管理民主."的建设社会主义新农村的具体内容.新农村建设是一个承前启后的综合概念,它不但涵盖了以往国家在处理城乡关系、解决"三农"问题方面的政策内容,而且还赋予其新时期的建设内涵.社会主义新农村建设的内涵既包括了路、电、水、气等生活设施和教育、卫生、文化等社会事业建设,也包括了以农田、水利、科技等农业基础设施为主的产业能力建设;既包括了村容村貌环境整治,也包括了以村民自治为主要内容的制度创新,最终把农村建设成为经济繁荣、设施完善、环境优美、文明和谐的社会主义新农村,这充分体现了人与自然、人与人、人与社会之间的和谐关系,也是构建和谐社会的必然要求.

Development in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Statistics at the Australian Bureau of Statistics

This paper outlines the ICT statistical developments that the ABS has undertaken over recent years. These developments have been on both the supply side (ICT industry) and the demand side (use of IT by sector). The content of ABS ICT surveys has changed significantly over the last few years and are expected to develop further in line with industry changes and emerging policy needs.
Recent developments in household collections have been the inclusion of IT use questions in the 2001 Census of Population and Housing and in various ABS social surveys such as Children's Participation in Culture and Leisure Activities. Annual business IT use surveys are now conducted and include topics such as Internet commerce and IT security. Biennial ICT industry surveys are conducted to provide data on ICT production, imports and exports, ICT industry employment, performance and structure information. An Internet activity survey is run every six months and provides regional Internet access details and infrastructure details on Internet service providers.
A major development for 2002–03 will be the compilation of an ICT satellite account. ABS intends to produce an ICT Information Development Plan to guide its future statistical development work in the ICT field.     

Value at Risk in the Suburbs: Eminent Domain and the Geographical Politics of the US Foreclosure Crisis

Several US counties and local governments have recently considered a novel solution to the foreclosure crisis. They plan to use eminent domain to compel the owners of mortgage debt—and specifically of private‐label mortgage‐backed securities—to sell the debt to the government at a price reflecting the loan's market value. The government would then restructure the debt and resell it to new investors. The plans are striking because—in contrast to both development‐driven eminent domain and the federal subprime bank bailout—they would force investors to assume asset devaluation and increased long‐term risk. Notably, the plans have emerged as an instance of financialization‐focused politics in suburbs and suburban cities of color, specifically majority‐black and ‐Latino/a suburbs. Local support for the plans, we argue, is rooted in the long‐term disinvestment of these ‘suburbs of exception', which became targets of subprime lending and eventually sites where the ‘financial exception' has been localized. But these demographic shifts, fragmentation and fiscal pressures have at the same time created a suburban political terrain in which the plans have gained their strongest political support.     

Towards a Theory of Serendipity: A Systematic Review and Conceptualization

Serendipity – the notion of making surprising and valuable discoveries – plays a major role in the success of individuals and organizations alike. Previous research has established the importance of serendipity and identified important individual- and organizational-level antecedents. However, the literature has been dispersed and the boundaries of the concept have been blurry, leading to a lack of conceptual clarity and structure, and thus limiting validity and managerial actionability. Based on a systematic literature review, I synthesize existing management-related research on serendipity and explicate the emergence and composition of serendipity in the organizational context. I first identify three necessary conditions that differentiate serendipity from related concepts such as luck or targeted innovation: agency, surprise, and value. Then, I draw from the literature on sensemaking, event-based theorizing, and quantum-based approaches to management to conceptualize the process of cultivating serendipity in the organizational context as a process of enabling potentiality and materialization, and develop a multi-level theory of (cultivating) serendipity. This conceptualization contributes to our collective understanding of how, why, and when (i.e., under what conditions) organizations can leverage the value in the unexpected, which opens up fruitful avenues for further research.     

Accountability of NGOs in Bangladesh A critical overview

NGOs in Bangladesh have been recognized as effective change agents in the socio-economic arena throughout the world. Their contributions in micro credit, non-formal education and primary health care are widely known. NGOs play a significant role in society. NGO accountability, as a result, has become a critical issue. NGO accountability in Bangladesh has been examined here in relation to patrons, clients and themselves. Of the three relationships only accountability to patrons is in a near satisfactory state. Accountability to clients is handicapped by lack of opportunities of beneficiaries to participate meaningfully in NGO policy making. Accountability to themselves is adversely affected due to the adherence to a strictly hierarchical system and the influence of founding and charismatic NGO leaders.     

Towards an Asian model of human resource management? A comparative analysis of China,Japan and South Korea

There has been much discussion regarding the possible decline and weakening of national systems of human resource management (HRM). Yet, culture and institutions are often cited as the major stumbling blocks to this outcome. Such constraints may dissipate in the analysis, particularly if ‘regional clusters’ are considered where geographic and cultural closeness and ‘openness’ to similar economic pressures exist. In such cases, it might be postulated that convergence in HRM will occur. We argue that China, Japan and South Korea represent such a cluster. This article examines these countries, to see if a degree of convergence is taking place and if it is towards an identifiable ‘Asian’ model of HRM. A model of change is presented that distinguishes between levels of occurrence and acceptance. Details of the development and practice of HRM in each country are then set out. The article ends with a discussion and implications section and a brief conclusion.     

Ansätze und Ergebnisse anglo-amerikanischer M&A-Forschung

Based on a review of established U.S. management journals (1995–2003), six schools of thought are identified within the Anglo-American M&;A research: “Capital Market”, “Principal/Agent”, “Industrial Organization”, “Organizational Behavior”, “Human Resources” and “Strategic Management”. The literature review shows that the definition of M&;A success, the methods applied, and insights from empirical research differ according to the respective school of thought. Empirical studies focus on the resource combinations of merger partners, the specific circumstances of merger negotiations, and on integration management as antecedents of merger performance. Unfortunately, empirical findings have not yet provided reliable explanations for M&;A success. Based on the current state of Anglo-American M&;A research, the authors discuss implications for business practice, identify research gaps, and propose areas for future research.     

Introduction of New Technology with a Sound Transition of the Input-Output Structure

We examine the general equilibrium repercussions associated with the introduction of new technologies, using the generalized Leontief system that allows technological substitutions. We show that an untested introduction of cost-increasing technologies in any industry may result in creating a non-productive technological structure that does not satisfy the Hawkins-Simon condition, following the autonomous dynamic adjustment process with structural transitions in the economic system. Therefore, we propose a practicable control scheme of introducing cost-increasing technologies that strictly avoids the creation of non-productive structures in all periods of structural transition, using the available information on the ex ante technological structure.     

The Creation of the Office for National Statistics

A new Office for National Statistics was created in the United Kingdom in 1996 following a series of developments designed to strengthen the relevance and integrity of statistics. This paper describes these fundamental changes and sets out a blueprint for future progress. It also sets current developments in the United Kingdom in an historical and international context.     

What helps? Women engineers' accounts of staying on

We have considerable understanding of the obstacles that women engineers encounter and the reasons that they leave the field, but we know less about what enables them to remain. Adopting an interpretivist approach, this article examines how a group of British women engineers in two FTSE 100 companies account for “staying on” in their male‐dominated work settings. We delineate four specific forms of help that facilitate women's retention in the field. We argue that exposure to help leads to women developing a habitus that enables them to continue working in engineering. To conclude, we draw on our findings to outline HR practices that will facilitate supportive relationships in the workplace and pave the way towards developing more positive organisational climates.
