科技商品“二因素”及其辩证统一——从马克思商品理论和劳动价值论维度的考察

在现代科技商品经济社会中,占统治地位的社会财富表现为庞大的科技商品的堆积,而单个的科技商品表现为这种财富的元素形式。从马克思商品理论和劳动价值论的维度看,科技商品的"二因素"是科技使用价值和科技价值。科技使用价值是科技商品的基础性因素,它主要是从"物"的属性方面对科技商品进行考察的结果,它所展示的是科技商品的"物"的属性,在实质上所反映的是人与物的关系;科技使用价值与一般物质性商品的使用价值相比较,既有相同之处即"科技使用价值之一般",同时又表现出自身的独有的特征即"科技使用价值之特殊"。科技价值是科技商品的核心因素,它主要是从"人"的属性方面对科技商品进行考察的结果,它所体现的是科技商品的"人"的属性,在实质上所反映的是人与人的关系;科技价值与一般物质性商品的价值相比较,既有相同之处即"科技价值之一般",同时又表现出独特的属性和特征即"科技价值之特殊"。作为科技商品"二因素"的科技使用价值和科技价值,既相互区别、各不相同,又相互依赖、相互依存,有机结合在一起共同构成了科技商品,因此科技商品是科技使用价值和科技价值的辩证统一体。而这种辩证统一性,是从"物"的属性和"人"的属性相统一的角度进行考察的结果,在实质上体现的是科技商品之"物"的属性和"人"的属性的辩证统一的关系。

从“二因素”到“二重性”：论马克思经济学术语转换的内在逻辑--评晏智杰教授的《对财富与价值二分论的解析》

从商品"二因素"到商品"二重性"之间的经济学术语转换体现了马克思实现理论批判的内在逻辑。其中,商品"二因素"对应商品的使用价值与交换价值,商品"二重性"对应商品的使用价值与价值。商品二重性学说并没有在古典政治经济学家那里得到"明确表述",也没有随着李嘉图学派的解体而"终结",更不是将实物财富与价值财富"截然加以分裂"的学说。

Potential risk factors for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis related to pancreatic secretions following pancreaticoduodenectomy

AIM: To identify risk factors for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis following pancreaticoduodenectomy, with a focus on factors related to pancreatic secretions. METHODS: The medical records of 228 patients who had a pancreaticoduodenectomy over a 16-mo period were reviewed retrospectively. The 193 patients who did not have fatty liver disease preoperatively were included in the final analysis. Hepatic steatosis was diagnosed using the differences between splenic and hepatic attenuation and liver-to-spleen attenuation as measured by non-enhanced computed tomography. RESULTS: Fifteen patients (7.8%) who showed postoperative hepatic fatty changes were assigned to Group A, and the remaining patients were assigned to Group B. Patient demographics, preoperative laboratory findings (including levels of C-peptide, glucagon, insulin and glucose tolerance test results), operation types, and final pathological findings did not differ significantly between the two groups; however, the frequency of pancreatic fistula (P = 0.020) and the method of pancreatic duct stenting (P = 0.005) showed significant differences between the groups. A multivari- ate analysis identified pancreatic fistula (HR = 3.332, P = 0.037) and external pancreatic duct stenting (HR = 4.530, P = 0.017) as independent risk factors for the development of postoperative steatohepatitis. CONCLUSION: Pancreatic fistula and external pancreatic duct stenting were identified as independent risk factors for the development of steatohepatitis following pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Geochemical characteristics of Guizhou Permian coal measure strata and analysis of the control factors

Based on element geochemical studies of the main Permian exploitable coal measure strata in Western Guizhou, the element geochemical distribution characteristics of the main exploitable coal measures were revealed in the regions of Dafang, Qianxi, Weining, Hezhang, Zhijin, etc., of Guizhou Province, and the results show that their element contents are mainly affected by terrestrial material supply. Coal measures formed in the delta plain environment where sufficient terrestrial materials are supplied contain relatively abundant trace elements and rare-earth elements, whereas those formed in the tidal-fiat environment influenced greatly by seawater have relatively low contents of trace elements and rare-earth elements, mainly con- trolled by the geological fact that basalts the parent rocks from source regions contain high trace elements and rare-earth elements. In addition, coal measures affected by later hydrothermal activities and fault tectonics contain a large amount of harmful elements. According to the rules of distribution of elements in coal measures, a new idea was put forward to classify coal-forming environments by using the geochemical composition characteristics, which is of great significance in dissolving the problem of whether coal measures were fbrmed either in delta environments or in tidal-flat environments in Western Gui- zhou. At the same time, the rules of distribution of elements in the main exploitable coal measures in Western Guizhou were fully understood, which is of direct significance in utilizing coal resources on the basis of classification of coals, as well as in developing the coal chemical industry.

Early graft dysfunction following adult-to-adult livingrelated liver transplantation:Predictive factors and outcomes

AIM:To describe a condition that we define as early graft dysfunction(EGD)which can be identified preoperatively. METHODS:Small-for-size graft dysfunction following living-related liver transplantation(LRLT)is characterized by EGD when the graft-to-recipient body weight ratio(GRBWR)is below 0.8%.However, patients transplanted with GRBWR above 0.8%can develop dysfunction of the graft.In 73 recipients of LRLT(GRBWR>0.8%),we identified 10 patients who developed EGD.The main measures of outcomes analyzed were overall mortality,number of re-transplants and length of stay in days(LOS).Furthermore we analyzed other clinical pre-transplant variables,intraoperative parameters and post transplant data.RESULTS:A trend in favor of the non-EGD group(3-mo actuarial survival 98%vs 88%,P=0.09;3-mo graft mortality 4.7%vs 20%,P=0.07)was observed as well as shorter LOS(13 d vs 41.5 d;P=0.001)and smaller requirement of peri-operative Units of Plasma (4 vs 14;P=0.036).Univariate analysis of pre- transplant variables identified platelet count,serum bilirubin,INR and Meld-Na score as predictors of EGD. In the multivariate analysis transplant Meld-Na score (P=0.025,OR:1.175)and pretransplant platelet count(P=0.043,OR:0.956)were independently associated with EGD. CONCLUSION:EGD can be identified preoperatively and is associated with increased morbidity after LRLT. A prompt recognition of EGD can trigger a timely treatment.

The Enhancement of CO2 Chemical Absorption by K2CO3 Aqueous Solution in the Presence of Activated Carbon Particles

The enhancement of chemical absorption of CO2 by K2CO3/H2O absorbents in the presence of activated carbon （AC） particles was investigated. The results show that the gas absorption rates can be enhanced significantly in the presence of AC particles, and the maximum enhancement factor 3.7 was observed at low stirring intensities. The enhancement factor increased rapidly with the solid loading during the initial period of absorption and then be- came mild gradually to a maximum value. Both the liquid-solid contact area and the probability of solid particles residing at the gas-liquid interface decreased with the increase of the particle size, leading to a negative effect on the enhancement of mass transfer. The influence of the particles on gas absorption decreased with the reaction rate. The stirring speed changed the interfacial coverage and mass transfer rate on the liquid side and consequently affected the mass transfer between the gas and liquid phases; the enhancement factor decreased with the stirring intensity. A heterogeneous two-zone model was proposed for predicting the enhancement factor and the calculated results agreed well with the experimental data.

Enrichment of Resveratrol in Wine through a New Vinification Procedure

Sulphur dioxide is used in the vinification process as an antimicrobial agent, but it is also considered as an important risk factor for liver diseases. Stilbenes have inhibitory effects on the growth of lactic acid bacteria strains isolated from wine. The authors investigated the viability of obtaining free-SO2 resveratrol-enriched red wines. Substitution of sulfite （7 g/100kg） for resveratrol （150 mg/L and 300 mg/L） in the vinification process did not change the basic physical and chemical properties of wine or its sensorial profile To the best of the authors＇ knowledge this is the first time that this type of vinification procedure is reported.

STUDY ON OBESITY RELATED FACTORS: FFA, LEPTIN AND ADIPONECTIN IN SUBJECTS WITH VARYING GLUCOSE TOLERANCE

Objective To study the fasting serum levels of obesity related factors: FFA, leptin and adi-ponectin in subjects with varying glucose tolerance and their relationship with BMI, insulin sensitivity index and isletbeta-cell function. Methods Serum levels of FFA, leptin and adiponectin in 24 normal, 32 simple obese, 34IGT and 36 T2DM subjects were measured by ACS-ACOD assay or RIA. Results The serum levels of leptin andFFA in three groups:simple obese, IGT and DM were much higher than those in normal control (P <0. 001). Incontrast, serum level of adiponectin of simple obese, IGT and DM groups were significant lower than that of normalcontrol, among them DM subjects had the lowest level (P <0. 001). Correlation analysis showed that FFA was pos-itively correlated to BMI, WHR, FBG, fasting insulin level and negatively correlated to SI; adiponectin was negativelycorrelated to BMI, WHR, FBG, PBG, but positively correlated to SI and AIRg; and leptin was positively correlated toBMI, fasting insulin and AIRg when negatively correlated to FBG and SI. None of them was correlated to age.Conclusion Subjects with insulin resistance have high serum FFA and leptin levels but low serum adiponectin level.With the glucose tolerance deterioration, serum FFA level increases much higher while the adiponectin deceases muchlower. Unlike insulin, none of these obesity related factors can be used as the simple indicating or determining factorof SI, though each of them, to different extent, takes part in the development of insulin resistance.

Root Causes of China’s Trade Surplus and How to Balance It

This paper explains the root cause of China＇s trade surplus and argues that it is rooted in structural factors. China＇s dual economic structure and the relatively slow growth in wages due to the abundant supply of labor have led to a large supply glut between China＇s domestic demand and output, which has been balanced by export. This is a structural problem that cannot be solved by currency appreciation or the readjustment of capital account deficits. A potentially viable option is to adjust the current account by developing a new opening-up system featuring more freedom and compliance.

Driving Factors for Forest Fire Occurrence in Durango State of Mexico:A Geospatial Perspective

Forest fire is one of the major causes of forest loss and therefore one of the main constraints for sustainable forest management worldwide.Identifying the driving factors and understanding the contribution of each factor are essential for the management of forest fire occurrence.The objective of this study is to identify variables that are spatially related to the occurrence and incidence of the forest fire in the State of Durango,Mexico.For this purpose,data from forest fire records for a five-year period were analyzed.The spatial correlations between forest fire occurrence and intensity of land use,susceptibility of vegetation,temperature,precipitation and slope were tested by Geographically Weighted Regression(GWR) method,under an Ordinary Least Square estimator.Results show that the spatial pattern of the forest fire in the study area is closely correlated with the intensity of land use,and land use change is one of the main explanatory variables.In addition,vegetation type and precipitation are also the main driving factors.The fitting model indicates obvious link between the variables.Forest fire was found to be the consequence of a particular combination of the environmental factors,and when these factors coexist with human activities,there is high probability of forest fire occurrence.Mandatory regulation of human activities is a key strategy for forest fire prevention.

Metabolic and Anthropometric Effects of NADH RAPID ENERGY in Diabetic Type 2

Twenty patients with diabetes type-2, aged between 38 and 61 years, with at least one cardiovascular risk factor were divided in two groups （Group-1 included newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients without treatment with oral antidiabetic OAD, Group-2： patients with diabetes type 2 under OAD ＋/- insulin （N = 11））. Patients from both groupswere taking Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide （NADH） Rapid Energy 80 mg/day in two takes for a period of 56 days. A greater reduction in average fasting glucose and HbAlc after 56 days was observed in the patients of group 1 not taking metformin compared to patients of group-2 which were taking metformin. Why metformin reduces the anti-diabetic effect of NADH will be discussed.

The spatial distribution of commuting CO_2 emissions and the influential factors:A case study in Xi'an,China

As the transport sector is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, the effect of urbanization on transport CO2 emissions in developing cities has become a key issue under global climate change. Examining the case of Xi＇an, this paper aims to explore the spatial distribution of commuting CO2 emissions and influencing factors in the new, urban industry zones and city centers considering Xi＇an＇s transition from a monocentric to a polycentric city in the process of urbanization. Based on household survey data from 1501 respondents, there are obvious differences in commuting CO2 emissions between new industry zones and city centers： City centers feature lower household emissions of 2.86 kg CO2 per week, whereas new industry zones generally have higher household emissions of 3.20 kg CO2 per week. Contrary to previous research results, not all new industry zones have high levels of CO2 emissions; with the rapid development of various types of industries, even a minimum level of household emissions of 2.53 kg CO2 per week is possible. The uneven distribution of commuting CO2 emissions is not uniformly affected by spatial parameters such as job-housing balance, residential density, employment density, and land use diversity. Optimum combination of the spatial parameters and travel pattern along with corresponding transport infrastructure construction may be an appropriate path to reduction and control of emissions from commuting.

Influence factors on thermal conductivity of ammonia-water nanofluids

In order to investigate the mechanism of nanoparticles enhancing the heat and mass transfer of the ammonia-water absorption process,several types of binary nanofluids were prepared by mixing Al2O3 nanoparticles with polyacrylic acid(PAA),TiO2 with polyethylene glycol(PEG 1000),and TiN,SiC,hydroxyapatite(noodle-like) with PEG 10000 to ammonia-water solution,respectively.The thermal conductivities were measured by using a KD2 Pro thermal properties analyzer.The influences of surfactant and ammonia on the dispersion stabilities of the binary nanofluids were investigated by the light absorbency ratio index methods.The results show that the type,content and size of nanoparticles,the temperature as well as the dispersion stability are the key parameters that affect the thermal conductivity of nanofluids.For the given nanoparticle material and the base fluid,the thermal conductivity ratio of the nanofluid to the ammonia-water liquid increases as the nanoparticle content and the temperature are increased,and the diameter of nanoparticle is decreased.Furthermore,the thermal conductivity ratio increases significantly by improving the stabilities of nanofluids,which is achieved by adding surfactants or performing the proper ammonia content in the fluid.

The results show that the catalyst＇s activity is high and the reaction time is short.

Bio-Demographic Factors Impacting on Employment in Namibia： A Binary Logistic Regression Model.

Despite concerted efforts to create employment opportunities and the realized economic growth between 2000 and 2005, the unemployment rate in Namibia currently stands at 27.4%, according to the Labour Force Survey released in April 2013. The percentage of employed males in Namibia stands at 41.6% while that of employed females stand at 28.8% according to the National Human Resources Plan of May 2013. Analysts have put the blame on adverse climatic conditions, limited levels of skills, access to finance, and the structure of the economy. The frustration and discomfort caused by unemployment, especially among the youth, can threaten the country＇s peace and stability as it negatively impacts on the standard of living, crime rates, family happiness, and drug abuse.To date, studies on employment in Namibia have mainly concentrated on the micro and macro econometric approaches. It is important to examine how bio-demographic characteristics affect employment. This paper uses data from the 2010 Income and expenditure survey to establish the bio-demographic determinants of employment by fitting a binary logistic model. The outcome variable is employment status which is dichotomous. The independent variables which were guided by review of related literature and availability of data in the Income and Expenditure survey data set, included age-group, region, place of residence, marital status, education level, and gender. Results indicated that employment prospects in Namibia were influenced by the region, gender, marital status, and education level.

Variation in Rubisco and other photosynthetic parameters in the life cycle of Haematococcus pluvialis

Cells of Haematococcus pluvialis Flot. et Will were collected in four different growth phases. We quantified the initial and total enzyme activity of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase （Rubiseo） in crude extracts, and the relative expression of large-subunit ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate caboxylase / oxygenase （rbcL） mRNA. We measured the ratio of photosynthetic rate to respiration rate （P/R）, maximal effective quantum yield of photosystem II （Fv/Fm）, electron transport rate （ETR）, actual photochemical efficiency of PSI1 in the light （ФPSII）, and non-photochemical quenching （NPQ）. Green vegetative cells were found to be in the most active state, with a relatively higher P/R ratio. These cells also displayed the lowest NPQ and the highest Fv/Fm, ETR, and ФPSII, indicating the most effective PSII. However, both Rubisco activity and rbcL mRNA expression were the lowest measured. In orange resting cysts with relatively lower P/R and NPQ, Rubisco activity and rbcL expression reached a peak, while Fv/Fm, ETR, and ФPSII were the lowest measured. Taking into account the methods of astaxanthin induction used in industry, we suggest that Rubisco may participate in astaxanthin accumulation in H. pluvialis. A continuous and sufficient supply of a carbon source such as CO2 may therefore aid the large scale production of astaxanthin.
