中国农业保险的六大缺失——专访阳光农业相互保险公司董事长梁敏

据阳光农业相互保险公司董事长梁敏先生介绍:“中国农业保险自1982年开始恢复,到高峰期的1992年,农业险保费收入达8,2亿元,但赔付率高达116％, 完全是亏本经营。从1996年起,农业保险规模逐年萎缩,2001年农业保险规模跌到20多年来的最低谷,农险保费收入仅3亿元,占保险业总保费的0．14％,农业保险深度仅为0．02％,是近20年来下滑幅度最大的一年。全国2．3亿农户,户均保费不足2元。”是什么原因造成现在这种局面呢？记者以电子邮件形式采访了梁敏先生。充满曲折的中国农业保险“这主要在于中国农业保险存在六大缺失”,梁敏先生这样在电子邮件里答复,“要想解决这个问题,需要先从其发     

An Examination of the Interaction Between Modelling and Its Relationship with Construction Kits: Lessons from the Past and for the Future

Construction kits have played a significant part in nurturing the growth and development of the minds and manipulation-based skills of children (and adults) in formal and non-formal education settings. These kits have origins rooted in the representation of the built world and now have a diversity of form and function, including technical versions with moving parts. This article examines some of the historically based ideas that lie behind the role that kits may have in terms of physical modelling. The article traces the transformation of kits from simple bricks and blocks into more complicated pieces for space-filling and achieving the transfer of forces and motion. This transformation occurred during the Victorian era when the influence of the ideas of educationalists and, perhaps rather strangely, exponents of early aviation, played major roles in determining the diversity of forms of construction kit and modelled possibilities that are now to be seen in classrooms and homes. The article ends with a review of some of the lessons from the past and present that will need to be considered in relation to concrete modelling in schools for the future.

The Impact of the Implementation of Technology Education on In-Service Teacher Education in South Africa (Impact of Technology Education in the RSA)

In this article the impact of technology education, as a new learning area (subject) in the curriculum, on in-service teacher education in South Africa is described in order to ascertain the extent of the impact. The research on which this article is based draws on a variety of experiences and observations in the field at grassroots level (in particular an outreach project in rural communities). The envisaged impact of technology education on South African schools, communities, teacher educators and teachers, the range of in-service teacher education that is required, and the impacts in urban and rural areas are discussed. Finally a number of concluding remarks are made about the extent of the impact of the inclusion of technology education in the new National Curriculum Statement and whether the situation has changed since the implementation of a pilot technology education project in 1998.

传播技术塑造文化形态--一种传播学的视野

语言是人类最早的技术发明,由于作为一种传播媒介的文字可以分为象形文字和拼音文字,它们在处理音、形、意三者关系时的不同策略使它们拥有各自的独特品质,使得它们在打破人在口语时代所形成的感官平衡的同时,形成了不同的感官比率,由此内在地定制了两种不同文化的特征.

Lies,damned lies and statistics: the accuracy of survey responses

That survey research is error prone is not a new idea and different varieties of non-sampling error have been investigated in the literature as well as consideration being given in many statistics textbooks to the issue of sampling error. The paper here considers research upon corporate environmental reporting. It compares information provided by corporate environmental reports with information that survey respondents claim their organization’s environmental report contains. This enables the accuracy of the claims to be assessed. Consideration is given to two different industries the Water industry and the Energy industry. Errors due to inaccurate reporting by survey respondents are shown to be relatively infrequent and respondents appear just about as likely to claim they report information that they do not, in fact, report as to fail to indicate that they report information that is, in fact, actually reported.
