我国生产安全卫生法律法规体系的特点

2010年底中国特色社会主义法律体系的形成,也包括生产安全卫生法律法规体系的形成。作为中国特色社会主义法律体系组成部分的生产安全卫生法律法规体系必将具有中国特色社会主义的性质;我国处于并将长期处于社会主义初级阶段,所以生产安全卫生法律法规体系具有社会主义初级阶段的阶段性特征;我国的生产安全卫生法制早经过了革命法制阶段,但还没有完全进入到平衡法制阶段,主体处于管制法制阶段;我国生产安全卫生法调节的是劳动者与业主的劳动安全卫生关系,生产安全卫生法律法规体系属于社会法部门。     

Biofuels and agriculture: a past perspective and uncertain future

The US corn ethanol industry has grown from virtually nothing in the early 1980s to over 14 billion gallons in 2011. Subsidies have been an important impetus for the industry, and they have existed in one form or another throughout the life of the industry. This paper provides (1) a brief look at the history of the linkages between energy and agriculture and how they have changed with biofuels; (2) a review of some of the major impacts of the US corn ethanol program; and (3) analysis of prospective impacts of cellulosic biofuels. There is no doubt that biofuels have brought about a new era for global agriculture. Historically, the prices of agricultural and energy products moved in response to supply and demand factors relevant to each market, but moved largely independent of one another. Corn ethanol has changed that, and today there is a link between crude oil and corn that is driven by the demand side. Since agricultural commodity prices are linked both on the demand and supply sides, the corn–crude oil link spills over to other agricultural commodities as well. Development of cellulosic biofuels has been much slower than hoped. The feedstocks are more expensive than initially believed. Conversion technologies remain uncertain and expensive. There are many uncertainties through the cellulosic supply chain, and government policy remains uncertain as well. Thus, the future of the cellulosic biofuels industry is, at this point, an open question.     

经济转型期安全生产监管机制研究

安全生产监管机制是否健全对于安全监管工作落实具有非常重要的影响,在当前经济转型发展的特殊背景下,建立科学合理的长效监管机制具有重要现实意义。分析伴随经济转型而来的安全生产快速发展现象,进而涌现出的许多生产安全新问题及其相互关系,对此总结得出安全生产各方面监管机制存在的不足。从安全生产监管机制薄弱环节出发并结合经济转型的发展特点,提出建立宏观调控监管机制体系的发展对策,并重点对该机制下的基层监管运行方式进行相应研究。有关研究内容有助于安全监管长效机制的建立,对提高监管水平具有重要的作用。     

浅议加强安全生产执法队伍建设

为了充分发挥安全生产执法队伍的作用,规范执法行为,依法履职,端正执法形象,必须加强安全生产执法队伍建设,维护国家法律的尊严,保障执法的公平、正义,提高安全生产执法队伍管理水平。本文对安全生产执法队伍把好人员进入关、完善机构、建章立制等加强基础建设,探索和转变执法方式等方面进行探讨,论述加强安全生产执法队伍建设的重要性和具体作法。

双重环境规制、创新开放度与制造企业创新投入

如何在经济发展的同时实现有效的环境保护成为企业亟待解决的问题。本文以2011—2017年沪深A股制造业上市公司为样本,检验了双重环境规制、开放广度、开放深度与企业创新投入之间的作用关系。研究发现:政府环境规制对企业创新投入具有显著正向作用,有利于企业响应政府规制加大创新投入力度;公众环境规制对企业创新投入的影响不显著,企业倾向采用公关方式应对公众规制需求;开放广度越大,政府与公众环境规制对企业创新投入的正向影响越强;开放深度不会改变环境规制对企业创新投入的影响。本研究为企业有效整合内外部资源开发节能减排技术,响应对政府和公众双重环境规制的要求提供了一定理论支持和决策参考。     

The understanding and role of uncertainty and risk in climate change adaptation: local and central authorities in Norway

A common claim is that emerging and future climate change is rendering traditional conceptions of uncertainty and risk obsolete. This is because a changing climate makes it quite a challenge to calculate uncertainties, establishing the measurable uncertainty as the basis for quantifying risk. Approaches that are capable of accommodating and possibly countering the wickedness caused by increasing uncertainty are necessary, the argument holds. Following up on previous studies of learning–knowledge and adapting to a changing climate, this article provides an analysis of how differences in the understanding of uncertainty and risk inform and determine governmental adaptation policies and actions of the local and central government in Norway, also discussing governance implications. The study finds that the understanding of uncertainty and risk generally is poor at the local level, but better at the state level, especially among highly educated staff with a background in, for example, natural sciences and engineering. On the other hand, a traditional understanding of uncertainty and risk is dominating: seeking to establish measurable uncertainty as a basis for quantifying risk. The article discusses combining different approaches of uncertainty and risk, thereby introducing a broader basis for governance, also implying multi-level network governance. On the one hand, this may help the local–central government in handling wicked problems of adapting to a changing climate but on other hand, it also possibly nurture struggles between different knowledge bases and stakeholder interest, thereby fuelling the wickedness of adaptation policies.     

Friends and family vs. government: who does the public rely on more to prepare for natural disasters?

This paper examines what organizations and groups individuals rely on to help prepare for natural disasters and how reliance differs vis-à-vis demographic characteristics. Using data gathered from 2,008 individuals employed in the United States, the results revealed that individuals are significantly more likely to rely on friends and family than government organizations at the local, state, and federal level. The findings also suggest that this reliance varies across demographic groups. For example, data from the present study suggest that women and minority groups as well as individuals who are older and less educated are significantly more likely to rely on organizations to help prepare for natural disasters. This study contributes to the disaster management and risk communication literatures by offering key insights into the organizations and groups the American public in general, and certain demographic groups in particular, rely on when it comes to preparing for natural disasters. Knowledge about the organizations and groups that individuals rely on to help prepare for natural disasters can help policymakers and practitioners target those organizations as conduits to deliver critical preparedness information, as well as other information related to disaster mitigation, response, and recovery.     

畜禽粪污集中处理模式中的三方演化博弈研究——基于规模差异与政府干预视角

作为环境污染治理的新举措,畜禽粪污集中处理中心虽然在高效处理粪污、提高资源利用质量、改善农村环境等方面发挥了显著作用,但是,其在运营中依然存在各种各样的问题,如设备利用率低下、粪污未能得到有效收集、骗取补贴等。为了探讨上述运营困境的形成机理,本文从养殖规模差异化与政府干预视角出发,构建政府、养殖户与处理中心三方共同参与的演化博弈模型,并在不同情境下探讨三方策略选择的影响因素与演化路径。研究表明,当小规模养殖户占比较高时,处理中心会选择“投机”策略加以获利,反之,在粪污处理需求大的规模养殖地区,处理中心则倾向于“不投机”的稳定经营策略;虽然政府补贴对于养殖户选择“参与”策略具有促进作用,但是,对于小规模养殖户而言,仍有一定的概率选择“不参与”策略;政府需要综合考虑处理中心的预期收益、受奖惩力度等因素制定合理补贴范畴,若补贴过高且缺乏相应的监管机制,处理中心会为了谋求更多利益而采取“投机”策略;当处理中心投机行为较频繁时,政府需加大监管并提高惩罚力度,以维护畜禽粪污集中处理模式正常运作。     

Just sustainabilities and local action: evidence from 400 flagship initiatives

Just sustainabilities has emerged as a powerful discourse to guide local action towards sustainability. As an overarching discourse, it prescribes four policy principles: (1) addressing well-being and quality of life; (2) meeting the needs of present and future generations; (3) enabling justice and equity in terms of recognition, process, procedure, and outcome; and (4) living within ecosystem limits. Following previous calls for engaging public and private actors in just sustainabilities, this paper inquiries about the extent to which these principles can be realistically integrated in local environmental governance. A database of 400 sustainability initiatives in more than 200 cities in all world regions is analysed to examine whether just sustainabilities principles are already enshrined, explicitly or implicitly, in local sustainability initiatives. This analysis suggests that, in this sample, there is a significant deficit in terms of addressing the principles of justice and equity, and ecosystem limits. However, the data also suggest that local action may already be delivering some aspects of just sustainabilities, even if this is not always explicit. The paper concludes with a call for a coordinated effort to translate a just sustainabilities discourse to local actors leading action on the ground.
