新质生产力的运行机理、生成逻辑与模式建构——基于生产力与生产关系辩证统一的视角

新质生产力是创新发挥主导作用,摆脱传统经济增长方式、生产力发展路径,具有高科技、高效能、高质量特征,符合新发展理念的先进生产力质态。纵观三次科技革命变革生产力的历程,新质生产力的产生和发展是生产力与生产关系相互作用的结果,具有生产力与生产关系的双重内涵和发展要求。新质生产力以新型劳动者、新型劳动资料、新型劳动对象及其组合模式和新型生产关系为架构要素与发展基础,其生成逻辑与运行机理是由技术革命性突破引发,在催生新型生产力要素、新型要素组合模式的基础上促使与新质生产力相适应的新型生产关系变革形成,新型生产关系的反作用促进新质生产力进一步生成的过程。发展新质生产力要以实施创新驱动战略、加快产业深度转型、构建要素生态系统和全面深化改革为基本模式和关键路径。亟须加快实现高水平科技自立自强,加快技术革命性创新;促进产业深度转型,构建现代化产业体系;促进生产要素创新配置,构建新质生产要素系统;全面深化改革,加快建立健全与新质生产力相适应的新型生产关系,促进新质生产力加快形成发展。

华北灌溉农业旱灾风险综合防范凝聚力评价指标体系构建

旱灾是对中国造成损失最大、影响最为严重的自然灾害之一.目前已对农业旱灾综合风险防范凝聚力进行初步研究,但尚未构建凝聚力评价指标体系.依据区域灾害系统理论和凝聚力的定义与阐述,在梳理人文社科凝聚力和农业旱灾脆弱性、适应性、恢复性研究成果的基础上,结合邢台市区域特点及对各级政府和农户等主体的调研结果,提出了指标选取原则与依据,运用层次分析法构建了县级和村镇级农业旱灾风险综合防范凝聚力评价指标体系.依据指标性质将体系分为2个部分:软指标“凝心”包括组织领导、协同合作、意愿度等方面;硬指标“聚力”包括孕灾环境、资源和工程设施、财力和粮食供给、农业生产等方面.研究可为后续量化分析提供基础,是对区域凝聚力整体水平的初步探究,也可为减轻旱灾风险提供理论指导与支持.

秦巴山区历史文化街区建筑综合防灾评估研究——以恒口老街区为例

秦巴山区因其独特的地理和气候条件成为防灾减灾救灾的重点区域,而其历史文化街区的建筑是安全隐患的主要承载体。该文综合考虑秦巴山区历史文化街区建筑不安全性因素,从建筑单体和建筑组群两个层面,以及建筑本体、建筑附属和建筑环境三个维度,构建了历史文化街区建筑综合防灾的评估框架,并以陕西省第四批历史文化街区恒口老街区为例开展研究。结果表明:恒口老街区在建筑本体防灾、附属防灾及环境防灾在6大组群和1219栋单体建筑内存在显著差异,防灾能力较强区域均呈面状分散于街巷两侧;而防灾薄弱点则多为可达性较低的组群内部。该结果为减轻街区建筑灾害风险危险性、降低建筑承灾体易损性、增强建筑自适性以及提高建筑的可恢复性,提供了研判技术依据和改进方向。

国家治理的社会创新:健全人口发展支持和服务体系的治理现代化

在进一步全面深化改革的时代背景下,探讨社会创新在健全人口发展支持和服务体系中的作用显得尤为关键。由于人口新国情与治理现代化之间的限度,中国人口治理的社会创新始终面临一系列挑战。中华人民共和国成立以来,中国人口治理的创新实践从工具主义导向的偶发性举措创新,到市场驱动下的政策形式创新,再到风险叠加背景下的工具理性创新,最终发展至人口国情下的实质性社会创新。通过构建一个涵盖“横向协调、纵向协同、长远规划”的三维模型,重新建立健全人口发展支撑和服务体系的理论解释框架。该框架的主旨内涵是国家治理的社会创新,要求从整体视角审视人口治理的现代化进程,促进国家战略转向为社会行动。即健全人口发展支持和服务体系在未来实践中,将进一步拓展为“发展性—社会包容”“普惠性—社会投资”“基础性—社会动员”“兜底性—社会保护”的治理现代化矩阵。

有为政府与有效市场下的我国职业教育治理:理论逻辑与实践路径

政府与市场的关系是职业教育内外部治理关系的核心,先后经历了政府主导论、市场基础论、有为政府与有效市场论的演变。在有为政府与有效市场的关系形塑下,职业教育治理改革应实现三大转变,即政府治理方式应从事后响应转变为事前布局,职业院校治理角色应从代理主体转变为改革先锋,市场主体参与治理的动机应从短期利益转变为战略投资。政府、职业院校和市场的关系应由单向的“影响回应”关系转变为双向的“并行互动”关系。当前,我国政府参与职业教育治理的权责边界不清,职业院校办学自主权无法满足发展需求,市场主体参与职业教育缺乏战略自觉。为此,我国应加强各级政府的政策协作,提升政府政策的精准度和前瞻性;优化职业院校组织定位和内部治理模式,提升学校治理的灵活性和有效性;深度分析企业发展的外部条件和内部需求,提升企业发展的积极性和适应性。

通过扫黑除恶的社会治理——以贯彻落实《反有组织犯罪法》为视角

在黑恶势力及其违法犯罪严重影响基层政权稳定的严峻形势下,党和国家决定开展扫黑除恶专项斗争,经过三年的全面、深入、系统推进,成效显著,赢得全面胜利。扫黑除恶是国家专门力量直接介入基层社会治理的重要体现,但单纯通过刑事司法或综合治理均无法达到深入且快速的良好治理效果。在总体国家安全观的指导下《,反有组织犯罪法》以“四个结合”为治理理念,构建惩防并举、标本兼治的有组织犯罪治理体系。其具体体现了司法治理与综合治理并重,且重点突出、有机衔接的共治路径及其立法思路。其中,司法治理强调宽严相济刑事政策的细化落实及关联治理机制的体系性完备,综合治理则突出群众路线下治本且治标的综合预防体系健全。通过不断完善的法治来推动常态化、高质效的有组织犯罪治理,保障扫黑除恶的法律效果、政治效果与社会效果相统一,有利于促进实现国家治理体系和治理能力现代化。
