新时期新疆与中亚五国区域经济合作问题探究

在新的历史时期,新疆已成为我国对中亚国家开展区域经济合作的窗口,发展与中亚国家的区域经济合作对推动新疆的跨越式发展具有重要作用。新疆与中亚国家地缘相连,区位优势明显,在资源合作领域占据重要地位,交通枢纽的战略地位和龙头作用愈加明显,与中亚国家的区域经济合作取得显著成效,是营造中国良好安全周边环境的战略基地。同时,双方经济合作也面临社会稳定问题仍比较突出,高素质、复合型人才极度匮乏,民族文化心理因素产生一定阻碍,信息渠道不畅,创新能力不足等问题。提出加快发展兵地融合经济,联合开发中亚市场,加强新疆外贸人才的引进与培养,坚持科学发展观,创新发展理念等对策建议。     

像狐狸一样聪明

他说出一个薪水数,我说"好".回到自己的房间后,我想,其实我应该说"不".可现在怎么办?刚答应又马上反悔,老板会怎么想?如果我现在不挽回,以后就更没有重新谈判的机会.于是,我还是走进老板的办公室. "我意识到我同意了您给的薪水数额,"我说,"但实际上我对它并不满意,想和您重新谈谈." "那么,你觉得该是多少?"他问.我说了自己认为的合理工资,然后他同意了!就这样,我虽犯了个错,但很快纠正了过来. 那么,我犯了什么错?和老板展开第一次谈话前,我并没为自己设定足够清晰的目标.如果我提前有一个明确目标,事情就完全不同了.于是,我得到了教训:要设定目标.     

让中国东盟比翼双飞：互联互通推动中国东盟双赢

互联互通是东南亚地区经济融合的重要基础．关系到其在世界经济中的分量。要想富．先修路。这一被许多地区发展实践验证的道理．在束埔寨同样适用。联通中老泰三国的昆曼大桥将计划于2013年10月通车。目前．柬埔寨、缅甸等国的公路基础设施建设项目主要依靠亚洲开发银行等国际组织出资。东南亚国家应该更多利用公私合营模式．邀请私营部门参加公路建设项目的投标．建成后将公路升级为收费公路。     

自我执行的制度:比较历史制度分析(下)

本文把制度因素更多地看成是历史内生演化的,从而对制度变迁进行了跨学科的分析整合,进而对比较历史制度分析的研究方法做了一个较为前沿的总结和概括。本文还对制度的社会结构要素进行了分析,把制度定义为整合的社会变量,是由“信念、组织和规则”等要素构成的体系。结合博弈均衡分析,本文得出制度要素的社会传播和复制是自我执行的结果,作为历史过程的制度演进是一个内生的变迁过程,其中历史对当下的制度变迁方向具有重要意义。

What Holds Back the Second Generation? The Intergenerational Transmission of Language Human Capital Among Immigrants

In 2000 Census microdata, various outcomes of second-generation immigrants are related to their parents' age at arrival to the United States, and in particular whether that age fell within the "critical period" of language acquisition. We interpret this as an effect of the parent's English-language skills and construct an instrumental variable for parental English proficiency. Estimates of the effect of parent's English-speaking proficiency using two-stage least squares yield significant, positive results for children's English-speaking proficiency and preschool attendance, and significant, negative results for dropping out of high school and being below age-appropriate grade. (JEL J13, J24, J62).     

Shift work in nursing: is it really a risk factor for nurses' health and patients' safety?

There is evidence in the scientific literature of the adverse physiological and psychological effects of shift work, including disruption to biological rhythm, sleep disorders, health problems, diminished performance at work, job dissatisfaction, and social isolation. In this study, the results of health problems and sleep disorders between female and male nurses, between daytime and shift nurses, and between sleep-adjusted and non-sleep-adjusted shift nurses were compared. Also the relationship between adjustment to shift work and organizational outcomes (errors and incidents and absenteeism from work) was analyzed. Gender, age, and weight were more significant factors than shift work in determining the well-being of nurses. Shift work by itself was not found to be a risk factor for nurses' health and organizational outcomes in this study. Moreover, nurses who were identified as being "non-adaptive" to shift work were found to work as effectively and safely as their adaptive colleagues in terms of absenteeism from work and involvement in professional errors and accidents. This research adds two additional findings to the field of shift work studies. The first finding is that female shift workers complain significantly more about sleep disorders than male shift workers. Second, although high rates of nurses whose sleep was not adapted to shift work were found, this did not have a more adverse impact on their health, absenteeism rates, or performance (reported errors and incidents), compared to their "adaptive" and "daytime" colleagues.
