Migrant and asylum-seeker children returned to Kosovo and Albania: predictive factors for social–emotional wellbeing after return

The return of rejected asylum seekers has a high priority on the national agendas of European States. In order to make well-informed asylum decisions involving children, knowledge of how asylum-seeker children fare after their return to their countries of origin is needed. This study aims to gain knowledge about the child-rearing environment and the social–emotional wellbeing of migrant children who have returned to Kosovo and Albania after a stay in a European host country. Based on a sample of 106 returned families, the study investigated the predictive factors for children’s social–emotional wellbeing using regression analyses. The findings show that procedural characteristics and ethnicity predict wellbeing, mediated through the quality of the child-rearing environment. The most vulnerable children did not have a stable resident status in the host country, belonged to a minority ethnic group and were older adolescents. The findings indicate that the wellbeing of returned children is not only dependent on conditions after repatriation, but also on the conditions which the families left in the host country. To enable sustainable return in a child’s best interests, the needs of vulnerable families and children should be thoroughly assessed prior to return, and reintegration support should be tailored to their situation.     

Return migration as a ‘family project’: exploring the relationship between family life and the readjustment experiences of highly skilled Austrians

Most research studies on return migration analyse remigration and reintegration as individual projects, without considering the interconnectedness of remigrants with their family members. This article addresses this research gap and seeks to add to our understanding of the role which the family plays in shaping reintegration outcomes through a qualitative analysis of the experiences of highly skilled Austrians who returned, with their co- or inter-ethnic family members, in the last 10 years. Results show that the relationship between family and reintegration is complex. Core family members may act both as constraints and as enablers of readjustment. Partners and children ease reintegration by providing enthusiasm, motivation and emotional support. At the same time, family members may also complicate the reintegration process by increasing the amount of administrative work to be done in order to re-organise family life or by triggering feelings of alienation, when family members face (re)-integration challenges. The reintegration process was also found to have a significant impact on highly skilled returnees’ family life. The problem-solving strategies which returnees develop during their process of reintegration either impede the formation of new families, impact on the structure of existing families or change the division of family work in the household.     

《李尔王》与《长生殿》之情节结构比较

《李尔王》和《长生殿》基本情节结构均是围绕“情感线索”和“动作线索”发展的,前者是两剧的主要线索。两剧围绕“情感线索”发展的情节高潮和结局表现出与沿着“动作线索”展开的悲剧性毁灭情节的高潮和结尾相反的,或者说喜剧性的表现手段。前者中的暴风雨意象和后者中的月亮意象及花的意象分析两剧为情节的发展和结构的统一起了重要作用。     

CPI的发布对中国股票市场收益率影响的实证研究——以上海股票市场为例

在引起股票市场波动的众多因素中，消费价格指数CPI日渐引起人们的关注。本文采用事件研究法，以上海证券市场为例。重点研究CPI这一宏观经济信息的公布对中国股票市场的短期影响效应。结果发现，在CPI公布前较短的时间内，股票市场出现显著的异常收益，这表明中国股市有效性不足，重要的经济信息发布前可能存在泄露问题．事后股市对信息的消化吸收也相对缓慢。在稍长的事件期内，CPI信息的发布对股市的累积公告效应较小．市场主体预期的调整和多空双方力量的对比抵消了各事件日内股市受到的信息的冲击。     

论当代民族声乐的美学复归

声乐界有关"民族声乐"的讨论,近年来一直存在。对民族声乐阐释的不足,原因在于民族声乐的审美价值没有得到准确的界定,这会造成民族声乐艺术发展的停滞。"缘情"是民族声乐艺术最突出的特征,包括寻求符合不同民族审美习惯的情感方式,注重演唱主体的情感传递,情感原则中蕴涵伦理内涵等几个方面,作为语言美学、技术美学、原型美学的民族声乐,应该将传统因素与非传统因素结合起来,从而实现美学的复归。     

A modified internal rate of return model for capital rationing in project selection

The ability of a company to finance viable projects depends on the availability of funds, and this too is a function of time, interest rate and risk factors among others. Factors such as these would lead to limited fund availability, which would necessitate capital rationing. Linear/integer programming and profitability index are often used to tackle this problem for optimal solution. A third approach utilizing a modified internal rate of return (IRR) is proposed. To overcome the difficulty usually encountered in calculating IRR, a small program coded in BASIC is presented. Even though discounting the cash outflows beyond the initial year should have been ideal in the linear programming formulation, this paper casts doubts as to the validity of the solution derived from it, as different discount rates seem to produce very conflicting results from the same set of investment options. This is also applicable to profitability index. While efforts are being made to correct these lapses, the modified IRR model has been found useful in arriving at an optimum solution both for the single-period as well as for the multi-stage situation.

黑格尔论古希腊悲剧

黑格尔把古希腊悲剧视为悲剧的辉煌时期。在论及这一时期的悲剧时,他主要探讨了三个问题:古希腊悲剧中的合唱队、冲突和结局。合唱队在古希腊悲剧中的作用比较重要,并且随着古希腊悲剧的发展而发展。关于冲突,黑格尔认为古希腊悲剧偏爱冲突情境中的第三种冲突,即精神伦理关系的冲突。关于结局,黑格尔首先指出了三种不适合古希腊悲剧的结局方式,然后对适合古希腊悲剧的三种结局方式进行了阐释。
