However, the employment structure and transfer characteristics of rural laborers have important effect on regional industrial structure. Applying shiftshare method（ SSM） which is often used in analyzing the characteristics of industrial structure to the structure analysis of the labour force can better show the characteristics of labor employment and transfer, thereby providing some reference for the development of regional social economy. The results showed that the transfer of rural laborers in He’nan Province still showed the typical characteristics of traditional agricultural province; the basic advantages of agricultural employment of rural laborers have gradually weakened, while the competitive advantages of the industry, the building industry, and the wholesale ＆ retail trade and catering service industry gradually became obvious, at the same time, there were differences in the deviation of departments among different regions of He’nan Province.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND The full implementation of the national two-child policy has presented significant challenges in ensuring the safety of pregnant women.AIM To investigate the effect of cervical balloon fluid volume on maternal processes,maternal and infant outcomes,and anxiety during pregnancy.METHODS A total of 100 singleton term pregnancies with cervical maturity induction and anxiety were selected using a lottery method;50 women were included.Cervical balloons were used for all participants.In the control group,80 mL of fluid was injected into both balloons;in the observation group,80 and 100 mL were injected into the vaginal and cervical balloons,respectively.The two groups were compared for cervical maturity,labor duration,anxiety,maternal and infant outcomes,and effects on cervical ripening.RESULTS After treatment,the cervical maturity test(Bishop)score was significantly higher in the observation group(9.76±1.19)than in the control group(7.62±0.83),and the Hamilton Anxiety Scale score was lower in the observation group(7.32±0.85)than in the control group(13.05±1.12).The observation group showed higher rates of natural delivery and lower rates of cesarean section than the control group.The first and total stages of labor were shorter in the observation than in the control group;no significant differences were found in the second and third stages.The incidence of complications was lower in the observation group[1(2.00%)vs 9(18.00%)for complications;49(98.00%)vs 41(82.00%)for non-complications].CONCLUSION The selected fluid volumes to promote cervical maturity and induce labor stabilize maternal mood,increase the natural delivery rate,shorten labor,and improve maternal and infant outcomes.

文摘The diffusion of industrial robot technology has coincided with increasing divergence in firms’market shares,potentially leading to enhanced market power and shifts in the distribution of factor income.This paper investigates the impact of industrial robot adoption on firms’labor income share and explores the underlying mechanisms,with particular attention to the rise of superstar firms.The findings suggest that,overall,the use of industrial robots contributes to an increase in labor’s income share,reflecting a generally favorable trend for labor’s position in primary income distribution.This effect,however,is markedly heterogeneous across different types of firms,regions,and industries.A significant concern is that robot adoption strengthens firms’relative market power within industries,fueling the emergence of superstar firms.These firms jointly influence labor income share through both a competition effect and a demonstration effect:the former is the main cause of declining labor shares,while the latter introduces a new channel through which labor’s share is further reduced.Although antitrust policies can help improve labor’s income share,they are not well-suited to curbing the market power expansion driven by industrial robot adoption.Thus,the concern over superstar firms’suppression of labor income remains.Amid the intensifying trend of“machines replacing humans”,this paper offers empirical insights into how to address the distributional implications brought about by the rise of superstar firms.
文摘Over the past four decades,propelled by China’s reform and opening-up policies,urban construction in the country has undergone rapid and transformative development.Within this context,the curtain wall,serving as both the exterior enclosure and aesthetic façade of buildings,has become a defining element of modern architecture.As a specialized component within the overall construction system,curtain wall projects demand a high level of expertise in both technical execution and project management.This study explores a unique analysis and reflection on the labor management and schedule control of curtain wall projects.

文摘To reduce poverty and promote sustainable development in rural areas,it is crucial to explore the impact of labor mobility on the sustainable livelihoods in mountainous regions.Here,based on a questionnaire survey of farmers and in-depth interview data in the area of the Qinling-Daba Mountains of China in 2021,we analyzed the characteristics of labor mobility,with livelihood capital as the entry point,discussed the impact of labor mobility on farmers’sustainable livelihood using propensity score matching(PSM).The res-ults showed that labor mobility was common in the Qinling-Daba Mountains area,with some form of labor mobility in 61.97%of households.The majority of households had only male mobility,and labor mobility tended to be small in scale,low in frequency,yet permanent and over long distances.Labor mobility had a significantly positive impact on farmers in mountainous regions,increasing the livelihood sustainability of rural households by 7.83%.However,the impact of labor mobility on different livelihood capital was differ-ent,which had the greatest improvement on financial capital,followed by social capital,although it weakened natural capital to some extent.Except for high-frequency mobility,the comprehensive impact of other types of labor mobility was positive.Among them,medi-um-scale mobility,seasonal mobility,inter-provincial mobility,and low-frequency mobility had more pronounced positive effects on farmers’sustainable livelihoods.Our study provided a reference to guide policy on rural migration,with the aim of providing support for the sustainable development of mountainous villages.
