Returning home: migrant connections and visions for local development in rural Nepal

Migration to domestic and international destinations has become an emblematic feature of Nepal’s societal changes. Part of this development is education migration from rural to urban areas within the borders of Nepal, an often overlooked but increasingly important aspect of contemporary migration flows. By focusing on these educational migrants, this paper explores how they connect to their rural homes. Guided by a critical reading of the migration-development scholarship, the paper examines how migrants and their relatives make sense of educational migrants’ remitting and returning practices, and by comparing three groups of educational migrants, the migrants’ reasons for staying connected and sending remittances are scrutinized. The paper finds that although educational migrants do not generate extensive economic remittances for local development in Nepal, they stay connected to their rural homes and partake in important social remittance practices that represent a vision for impacting local development.     

琼东南盆地深水区古近系陵水组输导体系特征

以Vail经典的层序地层学理论为指导,采用深水区地震资料与浅水区钻井资料结合,相互印证对比的方法,将琼东南盆地深水区古近系陵水组自下而上划分出SⅠ、SⅡ、SⅢ和SⅣ4个三级层序,建立了研究区目的层三维等时层序地层格架。在此基础上采用单要素综合分析的方法,对陵水组输导体系进行研究,将该区目的层输导体划分为储集体、不整合面和断裂等3种。根据输导要素和空间形态,总结出9种输导模式类型。结合盆地温度场、压力场、流体势及烃源岩发育特征,指出盆地深水区陵水组主要发育地堑型和半地堑型两种成藏模式,并在优势输导体系评价的基础上对陵水组各层序有利勘探区域进行了预测。     

Bushfire and everyday life: Examining the awareness-action ‘gap’ in changing rural landscapes

In this paper we use the notion of ‘everyday life’ to critically examine an apparent ‘gap’ between bushfire risk awareness and preparedness amongst diverse landholders in rural landscapes affected by amenity-led in-migration in southeast Australia. Landholders were found to bring their own agency to bushfire preparedness in the relationships between everyday procedures, dilemmas, and tradeoffs. Consequently, regardless of landholders’ awareness levels, attitudes towards bushfire and natural resource management influence if, how, and to what extent landowners prepare for bushfires. We argue that not only is the ‘gap’ complex but also paradoxical in that it is both evident in, and constituted by, landholder attitudes and action and simultaneously dissolved in their practices and decision-making in everyday life. Three dilemmas of everyday life in particular were found to underpin these attitudes: costs (in terms of monetary and time values), gender roles, and priorities. Using a mixed-methods research approach, this simultaneous cultural construction and material nature of bushfire in everyday life is mapped out through landholders’ narratives and actions that embody living with fire on the land. The place of bushfire in landholders’ everyday life has direct relevance to recent international discussions of the vulnerability of the growing number of people living in bushfire-prone rural-urban interface areas.     

Experiment and analysis of the formation,expansion and dissipation of gasbag in fine sediments based on pore water pressure survey

Deep-seated gas in seabed sediments migrates upwards from effect of external factors, which easily accumulates to form gasbags at interface of shallow coarse-fine sediments. Real-time monitoring of this process is important to predict disaster. However, there is still a lack of effective monitoring methods, so we attempt to apply multi-points pore water pressure monitoring technology when simulating forming and dissipation of gasbags in sediments through laboratory experiment. This study focuses...     

钴的迁移形式成矿机理初探

通过对钴有关化合物的形成条件和理化性质,钴矿床矿物流体包裹体的化学成分、代表性钴矿物的化学成分、共、伴生矿物组合的探究,结合钴成矿地质背景和环境研究认为,钴的氢化物、合金氢化物、羰基化合物、羰基氢化物是内生钴的主要迁移形式。它们形成于地球深部高压、高温、富氢、富CO的强还原环境,通过断裂、裂隙随岩浆、热液迁移至地壳浅部,由于压力、温度骤降,氧逸度渐增、H2和CO逃逸、氧化,上述钴的化合物分解、氧化、硫化、砷化,沉淀富集形成内生钴矿床,并在以后地质事件中进一步叠加富集,形成更富更大的钴矿床。     

国内外铜期货市场对比及铜价合理区间研究

通过对比分析国内外铜期货市场的机制、规模以及价格变化, 指出尽管国内市场在铜国际定价中已占据一定的主动权, 但与国际成熟市场相比国内市场在市场机制、市场规模等方面亟待进一步完善和提高; 系统分析了2003-2008年7月和2009年至今两个阶段国际铜价上涨的原因, 指出2008年金融危机前铜价上涨主要源于市场供需基本面的拉动, 炒作仅起到推波助澜的作用; 而2009年至今以中国市场为主导的价格上涨则主要由市场炒作所推动, 应引起政府部门和业内人士的充分注意和警醒; 研究确定了国际铜价的合理区间应在3900～4200美元/吨之间; 有针对性地提出了完善国内期货市场、控制期货价格的具体对策和措施。

渤海湾西侧泥质海岸带全新世岸线的变化与海洋的影响

以渤海湾泥质海岸带为例,从形态和地层证据2个方面总结了全新世岸线变化与海洋作用对该地区海岸带发育的影响。中全新世以来千年级别的岸线变迁至少以6次停顿（形成贝壳堤和泥质岭地）和岸进的交替为特征。过去130年间10年级别的岸线变化分为4个阶段,显示了＂小冰期＂结束后随气温上升而发生的岸线自然蚀退是如何逐渐被人类活动（特别是2000年以来的围海造陆）所取代的。全新世海相沉积中发现的9个峰值期和晚全新世的7次风暴驱动事件,表明了研究区泥质海岸带增强的海洋影响。这些结果提供了一条经由地质背景认识现代泥质海岸带过程的途径。     

准噶尔盆地西北缘车拐地区侏罗系成藏动力学模拟

准噶尔盆地西北缘车拐地区目前已经在侏罗系发现了多个油气藏,分析这些油气藏形成的过程及其主要控制因素具有重要意义。基于成藏动力学的三维模拟结果表明,侏罗系油气藏的油气来源主要是二叠系风城组和乌尔禾组烃源岩,油气运移路径主要表现为由沙湾凹陷向车排子凸起、中拐凸起方向。从充注时间看,侏罗系八道湾组始于早侏罗世(178Ma),齐古组始于早白垩世(120Ma),充注过程一直持续到古近纪末期;白垩纪中期的构造运动使车拐地区的地形向现今的"南低北高"发展,改造了已经形成的圈闭,使此前形成的油气藏重新分配,并向北部重新聚集,从而形成现今侏罗系的油气藏主要分布在车拐地区北部和车排子断裂带附近区域,而在车拐地区南部仅存在一些残余油气藏的格局。
