超常发展再铸辉煌--上海港集装箱运输发展回顾与展望

2002年,上海港创造了一个新纪录——集装箱吞吐量完成861万TEU,比上年634万TEU增长35.8%,超越高雄港而成为排名世界第四位的集装箱港口。这一辉煌业绩标志着作为我国大陆最大的国际通航港口又向国际航运中心建设的目标迈出了一大步。上海港集装箱吞吐量的发展是超常的。近10年来,它都以年均28%的增长率攀升。1994年突破100万达到119.9万TEU,从1997年至2001年的5年里,每一年都突破一个大数,分别超越200万、300万、400万、500万和600万TEU,2002年则跃升双百万,达到861万TEU。这是上海港集装箱运输发展史上前所未有的。它超常发展的巨大…

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.

关于我国都市经济圈发展的几个问题

都市经济圈,通常是指由若干城市集聚而成的高密度经济区域,在空间上表现为由大运量的高速通道相联结的、庞大的、多核心、多层次的城市群.在这个空间里,由于集聚形成的规模经济和范围经济,加之高速通道缩短了城市间的空间距离和经济距离,生产和服务的交易成本、运营成本和管理成本大大降低,投资回报率和要素收益率明显提高.

从国际视角看中国如何调整经常项目失衡

2004年中国国际收支经常项目顺差680亿美元,占GD P的4.2%,预计2005年该项目顺差还将继续扩大。长远来看,适当减少经常项目顺差,有利于充分利用国内外资源,促进国内经济和对外经济协调发展(王信、马昀,2005)。中国已明确提出,对外贸易不以大额顺差为目标。通常人们多从进出口的角度来看经常项目不平衡问题,但实际上,中国经常项目大量顺差,一个重要的结构性原因是金融市场不发达,居民预防性储蓄较高,国民储蓄难以有效地转化为投资。简单地抑制出口、增加进口、允许人民币升值,以及增加政府投资等,对调整经常项目的作用都不会太明显。应加快…     

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.     

基于博弈论的商业银行内部监督问题研究

近年来，国有商业银行连续发生了一些重大案件。这些案件多发生在国有商业银行的基层分支机构．案件的当事人多是基层银行所处管理层级别较高的管理者，而且有些案件发生的隐患长期得不到发现和消除。本文从博弈论和信息经济学的角度，分析了为什么随着银行员工所处管理层级的提高银行员工的偷懒行为或道德风险行为越来越难发现，并建议使用基层商业银行内部监督的两个工具，加强商业银行内部监督。
