识别“陷阱条款”的27条妙计

“陷阱条款”是指试图把信用证从付款工具转变为非付款工具的信用证条款或措辞。这样的条款也称作软条款。而在信用证中加上一些软条款的不良风气始终无法消除，一旦把这类纠纷诉诸法庭，则受益的只有律师。因而了解这些陷阱的伎俩应该可以作为有效的预防措施之一。为了让读对如何识别和避免这类陷阱有一个更清晰的理解，这里提供一份我在过去28

Risk factors and geographical heterogeneity in unintentional home injuries incidence rate: new evidence based on Multiscopo survey in Italy

Home injuries together, with road traffic accidents, are estimated to be the third cause of death in Italy (Arokiasamy and Krishnan 1994). However, as in most other countries, in Italy there is a lack of information on home injuries and on how differences in geographical patterns may influence the scope and magnitude of this phenomenon. By analysing a multipurpose large survey (Multiscopo) carried out annually, geographical heterogeneity in home injuries incidence rate can be investigated. The aim of this study is the assessment of possible differences in geographical patterns among the Italian regions making use of a re-analysis of Multiscopo home injury data. The study results show that Italian regions differ greatly in the number of home injuries. The geographical heterogeneity may be due to the unemployment rate and the incidence of poverty that is greater in the Southern and Insular regions than in other zones. Other socio-economic variables such as alcohol consumption can increase the risk of injury in the home. To prevent them it could be useful to organize campaigns aimed at increasing the awareness among people about this problem.
