美国夏威夷州标准化基础教育改革:理念、路径与启示

在美国标准化教育改革思潮和夏威夷独特教育价值观的影响下,夏威夷州开始进行大刀阔斧的标准化基础教育改革.此次改革极具鲜明特色,在规划政策推行、领导团队搭建和配套制度建设三方面的系列措施取得了阶段性成功,但同时也面临着资本过度干预教育的困境.美国夏威夷州的标准化基础教育改革为我国提供了镜鉴.我国基础教育改革需要制定统筹兼顾的教育规划,发掘本土文化的教育价值;集结教育系统的内外力量,设计分工合理的运行框架;设定并行不悖的衡量标准,放宽教育目标的达成方式;发挥宏观调控的积极作用,弥补教育管理的薄弱环节.     

Benevolence-dominant,authoritarianism-dominant,and classical paternalistic leadership: Testing their relationships with subordinate performance

We propose a new typology of paternalistic leadership styles based on how leaders demonstrate authoritarianism and benevolence, the two essential components of this type of leadership. Benevolence-dominant paternalistic leadership refers to leaders' sole dependence on the use of benevolence without their strong assertion of authority, whereas authoritarianism-dominant paternalistic leadership is based mainly on authoritarianism itself; classical paternalistic leadership, which best fits early observations of paternalistic leaders, refers to the salient combination of both leadership components. We used two distinct samples and methods to test this typology and the association with subordinate performance. Across the two studies, a field investigation with Taiwanese military supervisor-subordinate dyads and a hypothetical scenario experiment with U.S. working adults, we found a positive relationship between classical paternalistic leadership and subordinate performance as strong as that between benevolence-dominant paternalistic leadership and performance. Our findings echo the phenomenon that paternalistic leaders tend to combine benevolence with authoritarianism to affect subordinate performance.     

新常态下货币供给对工业经济的非对称冲击——兼论冲击路径的情景设计与分析

货币政策冲击对工业产出和价格的非对称影响，是新常态下把握好货币供给政策的方向、力度和节奏的重要参考依据，有助于提升货币供给政策的针对性、灵活性和前瞻性。局部投影方法在不同区制下，计算工业产出和价格对货币供给冲击的脉冲响应结果表明：货币供给冲击对工业产出的影响具有不确定性，且总体上表现为中性特征；而货币供给冲击对工业价格的影响不仅在不同区制下，而且在新常态前后均表现出显著的差异性和非对称性，总体来说是短期有效，长期中性的。情景设计的分析结果显示新常态下采用增加货币供给的政策来刺激工业经济是不可取的，其作用效果可能出现工业产出停滞不前，工业价格急剧飙升的工业滞胀。因此，需要从工业产业升级，工业技术创新等工业供给侧寻求工业经济新的增长点和动力机制。     

The heterogeneous impact of pension income on elderly living arrangements: evidence from China’s new rural pension scheme

This paper investigates the impact of pension income on living arrangements of the elderly. Taking advantage of a unique opportunity due to the recent establishment and expansion of the New Rural Pension Scheme in China, we explicitly address the endogeneity of pension status and pension income through a fixed-effect model with instrumental variable approach by exploiting exogenous time variation in the program implementation at county level. We find an overall positive effect of pension income on independent living as well as considerable heterogeneity. The positive income effects of the NRPS are concentrated among the elderly with adult children living nearby, of higher socio-economic status, and with better health at baseline; for other groups, the effects are insignificant. We also find that more generous programs exhibit larger effects. Our results highlight that living arrangement is multidimensional in rural China.     

行动者的定位及其激励——以收入分配制度改革为例

收入分配制度改革涉及到利益格局的深刻调整。在改革的过程中,社会行动者的定位是不同的,其激励也大不一样。其中,中央政府承受着公平分配的社会压力,是改革的顶层设计者,肩负着制度供给和统筹协调等方面的责任。地方政府是改革方案的执行者,是制度创新的重要主体,在公共服务均等化等领域有很大的作为空间。社会组织尤其是垄断行业等既得利益者是改革的阻力,但他们又是松散的和软弱的,这也相应提出了选择和优化改革策略的要求。公民参与具有良好的内在激励,并有民主控制和达成共识等方面的意义,对公民的赋权决定着收入分配制度改革的前景和未来。     

孔隙介质中滞留聚合物分子的粘弹效应系数

本文在文献[1]的基础上做了进一步的试验研究,发现慢速降压过程流速对时间的依赖关系呈指数曲线形式,同时进行了慢速升压试验,同样发现流速与时间的指数关系。文中对文献[1]定义的附加残余效应系数提出了修改,重新定义为滞留分子粘弹效应系数,对降压过程和升压过程的粘弹效应系数进行了对比。通过岩心出口液浓度数据,证实了文中描述的粘弹效应机理和分子构象改变的物理模型的可靠性。     

论路易斯·卡罗尔《爱丽丝仙境漫游》中的戏仿

路易斯·卡罗尔著名小说《爱丽丝仙境漫游》至少包含4首模仿经典诗歌的戏仿诗歌。戏仿诗歌展现了其内嵌或隐身于其他文本的特点。这一特点与戏仿反对说教的娱乐性结合，共同行使了戏仿潜在的挽救性功能，使人们永远铭记可能落入湮没无闻状态的诗人及作品。戏仿作品以喜闻乐见的方式，与严肃文学相互作用，不失为读者熟悉、研读严肃文学的一个捷径。     

Modifications of sequential designs in bioequivalence trials

Bioequivalence (BE) studies are designed to show that two formulations of one drug are equivalent and they play an important role in drug development. When in a design stage, it is possible that there is a high degree of uncertainty on variability of the formulations and the actual performance of the test versus reference formulation. Therefore, an interim look may be desirable to stop the study if there is no chance of claiming BE at the end (futility), or claim BE if evidence is sufficient (efficacy), or adjust the sample size. Sequential design approaches specially for BE studies have been proposed previously in publications. We applied modification to the existing methods focusing on simplified multiplicity adjustment and futility stopping. We name our method modified sequential design for BE studies (MSDBE). Simulation results demonstrate comparable performance between MSDBE and the original published methods while MSDBE offers more transparency and better applicability.

符号学视野下体育与少数民族的国家认同构建

体育与少数民族国家认同问题是一个重要的研究课题，学界目前主要就体育现象本身进行对比或论证少数民族国家认同，而缺乏符号学这一简约方法的深层次解读。国家认同是各种象征符号的集合。体育是一种天然的符号，具有丰富的文化象征含义。因而从符号学视野探究体育与少数民族国家认同具有重要的理论与现实意义。少数民族的国家认同核心是政治认同与文化认同，体育的物源符号化、自然寓意、伴随文本意义、元语言解读、共同记忆塑造功能，有力促进现代国家少数民族国家认同。认清体育符号的标出性历史反转趋势，采取适当宽幅的文化选择，加强体育元语言的解读，充分利用体育符号媒介作用，增强少数民族文化自觉与自信、强化中华“多元一体”认识，厘清国家政治边界，从而有力促进少数民族国家认同的构建。     

The intergenerational education spillovers of pension reform in China

Economic theory establishes that pension privatization weakens the link between old and young and so reduces the incentive to invest in public education in an economy with lower return rate of capital than growth rate of wage. However, empirical studies of the link change are few. In this paper, we investigate the effects of pension privatization and the central government’s subsidy to individual accounts on public education spending in a three-period overlapping generation model. And then, we take contemporary pension reforms in a number of Chinese provinces as offering natural experiment conditions. Using a difference-in-difference framework and 282 municipal districts panel data over years 1998–2009, we test the pension-education theoretical link change. Both our theoretical and empirical results confirm that pension privatization is adversely associated with local public spending on education in China. Private pension subsidies, moreover, magnify this effect. Our study supports the theoretical assertion and selective empirical findings of a negative intergenerational effect of pension privatization.
