20世纪90年代以来日本经济低迷的社会经济制度因素探究

20世纪90年代以来日本经济陷入了长期的低迷、衰退,其根源在于其社会经济制度即日本政治制度、市场机制和日本式经营的弊端.虽然近10年来日本固有的社会经济制度出现了一些松动,日本经济在一定程度上得以复苏,但是这些松动并没有触及日本社会经济制度的本质,而日本在社会经济制度的调整中所表现出来的滞后性、零散性和政府主导性,则阻碍了日本社会经济制度的变革.日本要想走出经济的衰退,必须进行彻底的制度变革,建立新型的政治制度、市场机制和经营制度.

农村宅基地限制交易的正当性

研究目的:分析是否应当禁止农村宅基地在城乡之间自由交易。研究方法:深度访谈法和比较分析法。研究结果:在宏观上,宅基地对于农民而言是一种社会保障福利,允许其自由交易,农民必定是最终的受损者,而各种社会强势群体才会成为真正的受益者;在微观上,农村宅基地自由交易以后会破坏村庄伦理,加剧村庄内部的不平等。研究结论:限制农村宅基地自由交易具有正当性。     

Pilot workload and fatigue on four intra-European routes: a 12-month mixed-methods evaluation

There were predictions that the European Aviation Safety Agency’s (EASA’s) new Flight Time Limitations (FTLs) (European Union Regulation 83/2014) would adversely affect safety. Following implementation of the new regulations, research into flight-crew fatigue and workload was conducted at a medium-sized U.K-registered low-cost carrier (LCC). A mixed-methods approach drawing on instantaneous self-assessment (ISA) and participant observation was used to measure fatigue and workload on four intra-European routes. A modified U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine Crew Status Survey recorded ISA data on fatigue and workload. The author’s flight-deck observations generated data on the context of flight operations. Two findings stand out. First, 7.1% of those who completed the inbound Top-of-Climb–Top-of-Descent scale claimed to be either ‘Extremely tired’ or ‘Completely exhausted.’ Secondly, 9.3% of those who completed the inbound Top-of-Descent–On-Blocks scale claimed to be either ‘Extremely tired’ or ‘Completely exhausted.’ Pilots recorded maximum and average workload in the range 5–7 most often for phases Boarding–Off-blocks and Top-of-descent–On-blocks. The author recommends that further mixed-methods research into fatigue and workload be conducted at this and other carriers operating under European Union Regulation 83/2014. Research should be conducted regularly.     

Can consumers buy alternative foods at a big box supermarket?

ABSTRACT

While consumers in affluent countries are ever hungry for alternatives to the ‘Big-Food’ mainstream, critical scholars have raised serious questions about the meaning of ‘alternative’ food products. I explore scholarly critiques of alternative food, and argue against a binary approach that sees foods as either alternative or not alternative. Instead, I suggest the utility of taking a multifaceted, ‘family of issues’ approach that is both reflexive and materialist. The case of ethical meat is used to explore the myriad, often contradictory ideals contained within consumers’ search for alternatives to mainstream market options. Three cautionary lessons are put forward. First, the goal of producing myriad consumer alternatives is significantly hampered by the competing, and often contradictory demands of market forces. Second, the discourse of food alternatives uses a ‘win-win’ logic suggesting that consumer sacrifice or change is unnecessary; the challenge of reshaping, and even downgrading consumer expectations is a necessary, but tremendous challenge facing consumer projects for ecological and social change. Third, the search for eco-social alternatives cannot simply make consumers feel good about their purchases, but must address the material realities and limitations of niche markets, and the need for structural reform to the food system.
