Meeting the Demand from Tourism Development-Higher Occupation and Technical Education in China

ABSTRACT

This article outlined the emergence and phenomenal growth of higher occupation and technical education (HOTE) in China, and analyzed the characteristics of HOTE in relation to the human resource needs of China's growing tourism industry. The characteristics of tourism HOTE were examined in the contexts of specialization offerings, curriculum design, and instructional delivery and student evaluation. Comparisons were drawn between tourism HOTE and traditional four-year degree program, and between tourism HOTE and two- and three-year higher professional schools. Observations were made with regard to the greater employability of tourism HOTE graduates and their popularity with employers. The article concluded with the recommendation of an open system for higher tourism education that legitimizes the role of HOTE, and accommodates its coexistence with traditional four-year program, and two- and three-year professional schools.     

Step Options

Motivated by risk management problems with barrier options, we propose a flexible modification of the standard knock‐out and knock‐in provisions and introduce a family of path‐dependent options: step options . They are parametrized by a finite knock‐out (knock‐in) rate , ρ. For a down‐and‐out step option, its payoff at expiration is defined as the payoff of an otherwise identical vanilla option discounted by the knock‐out factor exp(-ρτ_B^‐) or max(1‐ρτ^-B,0), where τ_B^‐ is the total time during the contract life that the underlying price was lower than a prespecified barrier level ( occupation time ). We derive closed‐form pricing formulas for step options with any knock‐out rate in the range $[0,∞). For any finite knock‐out rate both the step option's value and delta are continuous functions of the underlying price at the barrier. As a result, they can be continuously hedged by trading the underlying asset and borrowing. Their risk management properties make step options attractive no‐regrets alternatives to standard barrier options. As a by‐product, we derive a dynamic almost‐replicating trading strategy for standard barrier options by considering a replicating strategy for a step option with high but finite knock‐out rate. Finally, a general class of derivatives contingent on occupation times is considered and closed‐form pricing formulas are derived.

民族教育发展模式创新——基于四川藏区“9＋3”免费职业教育实践

“9＋3”免费职业教育计划借鉴了内地西藏班的教育理念和实践,结合四川藏区区情、教育基础,将教育对象扩大为所有中学阶段学生,异地教学的空间范围界定在本省教育基础好的地区,降低了教育管理成本,提高了教学效率,实现了个人、家庭、社会“三满意”。“9＋3”计划实施三年来不断创新管理模式,通过强化管理机构、完善从入口到出口过程管理、重构情感支撑系统、优化管理服务功能等,丰富了内地民族班的内涵,拓宽了民族教育异地办学的新模式。     

New development: Bullying in a reforming context—a holistic,layered model of the interpersonal interaction

Public services have been transformed, with health services, in particular, in a state of almost constant change with reforms leading to a blurring of the nature of work across sectors and a bullying rate at epidemic levels. A new holistic model of the drivers of bullying is presented. The model is a powerful tool for understanding and addressing workplace bullying.     

广东省在业人口职业结构时空变迁及人口流动过程中的职业流动

近 2 0年来广东省职业结构发生巨大变化 ,但是各地的变化程度相差甚远 ,一些地区没有发生实际的改变。广东省内部的人口流动对各地职业结构改变有明显影响 ,绝大多数出自农村的流动人口通过迁移改变了职业 ,外出人口众多的地区是职业结构没有明显改变的区域。对于人口空间流动与职业流动结合的模式有两个问题要关注 ,一是流出地区的发展 ,二是回流人口的重新选择职业问题。     

基于省级和市级层次的违法占用耕地与经济发展的空间计量分析

研究目的:了解不同层次经济发展在空间中显著影响违法占用耕地的具体因素,为加强土地调控和土地督察提供决策依据。研究方法:空间计量经济学、空间误差模型和空间滞后模型。研究结果:中国省级层次的违法占用耕地主要与固定资产投资在空间上呈显著相关,江西省市级层次的违法占用耕地主要与地方财政收入和GDP在空间上呈显著相关。研究结论:要高度重视经济发展中固定资产投资、GDP增长和地方财政收入等因素对违法占用耕地的影响,减少违法占用耕地,引导土地合法合理持续利用。     

我国沿海渔民转产转业研究综述及展望

我国是一个渔业资源十分丰富的国家,渔业历史悠久。近年来由于我国与日本、韩国、越南签订的渔业协定相继生效,另外捕捞过度和环境污染等问题,使沿海渔业资源变得十分脆弱,对渔民的生产、生活造成影响。在此背景下渔民转产转业问题受到学者的广泛关注。本文对近年来诸多学者的研究进展进行了归纳和整理,并对下一步研究方向进行展望。
