Minority Workers

Most of the workers employed by black-owned businesses are minorities. This pattern typifies small firms as well as large firms, firms in blue collar industries such as construction as well as in white collar industries such as finance. The hypothesis that reliance upon minority workers may restrict the viability of black firms is tested and rejected; there appears to be no relationship between firm viability and labor force racial composition.

New Evidence

The paper examines the contention that large firms and multinationals have used their bargaining power to create employment patterns that may be contrary to regional policy objectives. Previously unpublished tabulations prepared by the Business Statistics Office illustrate the regional distribution of the employment of the UK's thirteen largest employers in the manufacturing sector and the distribution of employment controlled by overseas firms based in the USA, the EEC and other foreign groups. The evidence suggests that large firms do not differ markedly in their overall employment patterns from their smaller counterparts, and that it is unwise to treat multinationals as an undifferentiated group.

Right Ascension

Several outstanding problems affecting the existing parallaxes should be resolved to form a coherent system for the new General Catalogue proposed by van Altena, as well as to improve luminosity calibrations and other parallax applications. Lutz has reviewed several of these problems, such as: (A) systematic differences between observatories, (B) external error estimates, (C) the absolute zero point, and (D) systematic observational effects (in right ascension, declination, apparent magnitude, etc.). Here we explore the use of cluster and spectroscopic parallaxes, and the distributions of observed parallaxes, to bring new evidence to bear on these classic problems. Several preliminary results have been obtained.

Impfungen sind einfache und effektive Maßnahmen zur Verhinderung von Reisekrankheiten. Compliance-Probleme sind gering, da alle Impfungen noch vor Abreise verabreicht werden und bei manchen Impfungen nur eine Dosis für den zuverlässigen Schutz nötig ist. Für jeden Reisenden sind die Hepatitis A- und die Diphtherie-Tetanus-Impfung empfohlen, für Asien und Afrika auch die Polioimpfung. Bei Reisen >30 Tagen, jüngeren Personen und Reisenden mit Risikoverhalten sollte immer auch eine Hepatitis B-Impfung, eventuell als Kombination mit Hepatitis A in Betracht gezogen werden. Je nach Reisestil, -destination und -dauer können auch weitere Impfungen wie z.B. die Typhus-, Tollwut-, Zeckenenzephalitis-, Grippe-, Masern-Mumps-Röteln-, Gelbfieber-, Meningokokkenmeningitis- und die Japanische Enzephalitis-Impfung in Frage kommen. Mehrere Impfungen können gleichzeitig verabreicht werden – eine Staffelung ist nicht nötig. i BAG Supplementum VI, Stand Juli 2000 «Impfungen für Auslandreisende»; http://www.admin.ch/bag/infekt/prev/reisemed/index.htm; Safetravel http://www.safetravel.ch; Tropimed
