企业开展矿山修复业务的几点思考

目前,中国矿山生态修复中存在诸多历史遗留问题。国家着手推动矿山治理和生态修复,已经取得了一些成效,但仍存在资金需求缺口大,修复后矿山土地使用确权、土地流转、开发利用等方面的问题。从国家政策支持、治理资金出资模式等方面对矿山修复进行了思考。     

基于Nvivo12 Plus的劳动教育实践基地评定标准分析

劳动教育是培养人全面发展的重要组成部分,劳动教育实践基地评定标准对劳动教育基地建设有着重要的引领指导作用。本文采用Nvivo12 Plus对7个省市的劳动教育实践基地评定标准进行编码和归类分析,发现已设立的评定标准体系具有强调安全运行是劳动教育实践基地建设的重心、设施完备是劳动教育实践基地建设的中心、育人功能是劳动教育实践基地建设的核心等一些共同特征,但也存在如忽视对教学反馈的评价、内容过于笼统不够全面、忽视基地师资力量评价、各省指标趋同缺乏指向性等问题。为更好地发挥评定标准体系的引领作用,应将教育基地的教学反馈纳入评定标准体系,明确将师资力量构成列为评估指标,增加体验新兴劳动形态的教育内容,在评定标准中彰显地方特性,使劳动教育实践基地评定标准体系更好服务于劳动教育发展的需要。     

Housing quality perceptions in Finland: the elderly population

Housing and health issues can vary over time and between populations. The elderly population is increasing worldwide. Yet only limited information exists about housing conditions: changes over time, and the relationships between health and safety among the elderly. Based on repeated surveys (2007 and 2011), housing and health issues in Finland were assessed, especially among the elderly (more than 65 years old). From various housing factors studied, the largest differences between surveys were in thermal comfort. From the six outcomes studied – satisfaction with the dwelling, maintenance, indoor air quality (IAQ), perceived safety, general health, and sleeping difficulties – only satisfaction with the dwelling had significant temporal variation. Modelling the outcomes led to a selection of variables that were significantly associated with the outcomes. The models’ sensitivity was 65–81% for perceived safety and satisfaction with the dwelling, maintenance, and IAQ, whereas it was only 5% for sleeping difficulties and 32% for general health status. Among the elderly, higher odds ratios (ORs) were found for the associations between housing satisfaction and non-elevated radon concentrations, accessibility, dwelling size, and stuffy odour, as compared with the total population sample. The results are useful for developing policies that increase wellbeing, and for building owners wishing to increase housing satisfaction among occupants.     

Embedding financialization: a policy review of the English Affordable Homes Programme

Decent, affordable housing continues to be a major concern for policy-makers, providers and society at large. This paper contributes to the debate over the future of social housing in England by reviewing the Affordable Homes Programme (AHP). The AHP (2011–2015) saw the level of grant funding reduced dramatically; with the shortfall to be filled from housing associations own resources, increased rents and borrowing. To understand the implications of the AHP, this paper utilizes the concept of financialization. Financialization is a multifaceted process that seeks to explain the increased role and power of the financial markets in society. Specifically, the paper shows that the AHP leads to increased debt levels in the social housing sector, is predicated on short-termism and accumulation by dispossession. Finally, by employing financialization the paper also addresses debates about the nature of housing policy and how it can best be conceptualized.     

Determinant factors of individuals’ decision to emigrate in rural Spain: The role of ICT-based public policies

Depopulation is a dramatic problem in rural inland Spain. The present study draws on a survey administered to inhabitants of rural areas to analyse the factors influencing the decision to emigrate to larger centres of population, with a special focus on the impact of ICT-based public policies. The findings show that size of municipality, age and education affect the intention to emigrate. It is found that the digital divide in terms of quality of ICT access has not, in many cases, been overcome, having an effect on citizen satisfaction. To guide public actions, we identify population profiles depending on both level of satisfaction with ICT development and preference towards specific ICT-related public policy measures intended to combat depopulation. We also find that most individuals continue to think that improving investment in ICT infrastructures should be a priority of public policy, compared to more advanced measures such as bolstering e-government.     

Quantifying net energy metering subsidies

Net energy metering (NEM) is the policy available in many states that promotes customer-owned rooftop solar power generation by compensating rooftop solar owners for each kWh that it generates at the retail rates. To help understand the magnitude of the residential net metering subsidies, we conducted a study to assess the subsidies for 16 US utilities with varying geographic location, size, rooftop solar penetration, and NEM policy.     

A comparative assessment of local municipal food policy integration in the Netherlands

ABSTRACT

Local governments around the world increasingly engage in food governance, aiming to address food system challenges such as obesity, food waste, or food insecurity. However, the extent to which municipalities have actually integrated food across their policies remains unknown. This study addresses this question by conducting a medium-n systematic content analysis of local food policy outputs of 31 Dutch municipalities. Policy outputs were coded for the food goals and instruments adopted by local governments. Our analysis shows that most municipalities integrate food to a limited extent only, predominantly addressing health and local food production or consumption. Furthermore, municipalities seem hesitant to use coercive instruments and predominantly employ informative and organizational instruments. Nonetheless, a small number of municipalities have developed more holistic approaches to address food challenges. These cities may prove to be a leading group in the development of system-based approaches in Dutch local food policy.     

Can regional policies shape migration flows?

Our empirical analysis focuses on the effect of regional policies on migration attraction factors in Europe. We employ a regression discontinuity design to assess the causal relationship between the reception of large amounts of public funds and migration flows in the EU-15 regions. In highly-subsidised regions, we find a large increase in the share of foreign citizens from less-developed countries when compared to low-subsidised regions with similar pre-treatment characteristics. The analysis shows that such an increase is due to the positive impact of the European regional policy on job market opportunities as well as the improvement of public goods supply.     

煤矿区煤层气开发利用制约因素与发展建议

煤矿区煤层气开发利用是指结合煤炭生产布局而开展的一系列煤层气开发利用活动。煤炭行业占煤层气地面产气量的半壁江山,但地面产气量离《煤层气(煤矿瓦斯)开发利用"十二五"规划》目标较远;井下抽采量有望达到目标,但利用率需实现突破。分析了煤矿区煤层气开发利用中面临的地质条件复杂、矿权之争、经济效益差、行业标准需跟进等方面制约因素,提出应协调好各方利益关系、实行两条腿走路、提高补贴力度、缩短审批周期、加快标准制定和加大科技投入等发展建议。
