The socio-economic determinants of COVID-19: A spatial analysis of German county level data

The study explores the association of socioeconomic, demographic, and health-related variables at the regional level with COVID-19 related cases and deaths in Germany during the so-called first wave through mid-June 2020. Multivariate spatial models include the 401 counties in Germany to account for regional interrelations and possible spillover effects. The case and death numbers are, for example, significantly positively associated with early cases from the beginning of the epidemic, the average age, the population density and the share of people employed in elderly care. By contrast, they are significantly negatively associated with the share of schoolchildren and children in day care as well as physician density. In addition, significant spillover effects on the case numbers of neighbouring regions were identified for certain variables, with a different sign than the overall effects, giving rise to further future analyses of the regional mechanisms of action of COVID-19 infection. The results complement the knowledge about COVID-19 infection beyond the clinical risk factors discussed so far by a socio-economic perspective at the ecological level.     

Forget about ‘the ideal worker’: A theoretical contribution to the debate on flexible workplace designs,work/life conflict,and opportunities for gender equality

This study integrates insights from Self-Determination Theory and Boundary Theory to present scenarios on how flexible workplace designs can trigger multiple motivational processes underlying gendered work/nonwork integration behaviors, and how these affect work/life conflict. We disentangle processes underlying work engagement and work/life conflict, explaining the paradoxical outcomes found with regard to gender inequality in terms of work/life performance, satisfaction, and health. Policy makers and organizations need an increased understanding and a reconceptualization of these issues, realizing that the ideal worker does not exist. Instead, a long-term perspective is needed in order to truly realize the potential benefits of flexible workplace designs for all stakeholders. Organizations need to take responsibility for preventing individual workers’ depletion and stimulating the regeneration of workers’ resources.     

基于宏观经济结构合理化的宁夏水资源合理配置

本文分析了宁夏目前经济结构下水资源利用效率及产出效益，研究在一定经济发展水平下，当资源配置最优时，最优的经济均衡增长途径。区域最优经济结构是由国民经济各部门相互依存的关联关系技术矩阵所决定的，其均衡增长率和均衡增长产出结构分别等于非负矩阵的弗罗比尼斯特征根和相对应的弗罗比尼斯向量。本文根据联合国经济发展统计数据，分析出宁夏未来调整第一产业与第二产业结构的比例，认为应适当减少宁夏高耗水水稻种植面积，逐渐把农业用水量向工业用水量转移。转变经济增长方式，从水资源的高效利用及配置出发走内涵式、节水型的社会发展道路，以解决宁夏水资源严重不足的问题。     

对新疆财政工作的现实思考

Seasonal variation in light penetration and subsurface chlorophyll-α in southern Lake Michigan observed by a glider

The Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research (CIGLR) in collaboration with the Great Lakes Observing System and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (NOAA GLERL) deployed an autonomous underwater glider in southern Lake Michigan several times per year between 2012 and 2019 to collect offshore (>30 m depth) limnological measurements, including temperature, photosynthetically active radiation (beginning during 2015), and chlorophyll-α fluorescence. From these data, we calculated mixed layer depth, several measures of light penetration (diffuse attenuation coefficient, first optical depth, euphotic zone depth), and depth of the subsurface chlorophyll-α maxima. During summer, mean offshore mixed layer depth was typically 10–15 m, K_d for PAR was 0.1–0.17 m^?1, first optical depth was 6–9 m, euphotic zone depth was 35–40 m, and depth of subsurface chlorophyll-α maxima was 30–35 m. We also observed substantial spatial and temporal variation in these values across the basin and within and among seasons. Glider-based observations provide a wider horizontal and vertical perspective than other methods (e.g., ship- and satellite-based observations, buoys, and fixed moorings), and are therefore a valuable, complementary tool for Great Lakes limnology. The set of observations reported here provide seasonal and basin-scale information that may help to identify anomalies useful for future glider-assisted investigation into the role of biophysical processes in Great Lakes limnology and ecology.     

基于山区地质灾害危险性分区的建设用地适宜性评价

地质灾害是建设用地选址时考虑的关键因素之一,也是危险性区划的主要参考要素,其直接或间接危害到人类安全并给社会和经济建设造成重大损失。为了降低建设用地规划中地质灾害的影响,应将地质灾害危险性分区考虑到建设用地适宜性评价当中。以干旱河谷山区丹巴县为研究区,运用确定系数和逻辑回归相结合的方法,构建地质灾害危险性评价体系对该区进行地质灾害危险性分区。选择安全因子、自然因子、社会因子和生态因子共同构成建设用地适宜性评价指标体系,利用层次分析法对研究区进行建设用地适宜性评价。结果表明:(1)对丹巴县进行危险性分区,极高危险区217.20km2,高危险区744.95km2,中度危险区1352.44km2,低度危险区1295.08km2以及极低危险区875.32km2。(2)丹巴县建设用地最适宜区面积为115.72km2,占县域总面积的2.57%,适宜建设的土地少且多集中在小金川、革什扎河、东谷河和大渡河沿岸河谷地区。较适宜区、基本适宜区、较不适宜区和禁止建设区面积分别为683.47km2、623.21km2、590.66km2、2494.21km2。(3)已建成的城镇空间中38.50%和37.62%分布在最适宜区和较适宜区,整体分布状况良好。有5.85%的城镇空间建设在较不适宜区,2.67%在禁止建设区,存在生态安全风险,该区域应加强灾害预警与防灾减灾工作,有条件地适度搬迁。     

论红色旅游的联动开发模式——以安徽省黟县、定远县比较研究为例

近年,在国家政策和市场需求的共同驱动作用下,红色旅游呈现出良好发展态势,其经济、社会、文化的积极影响日益突出。针对红色旅游的功能、意义、特点、市场等特征,结合安徽省黟县和定远县的红色旅游规划实践进行类比研究,认为红色旅游的开发应采取联动开发模式,形成整体综合优势,实现政治、经济、文化三大功能。联动开发主要包括形象联动、资源联动、产品联动、产业联动、区域联动、营销联动等方面,具有目标层、战略层、操作层等层次。
