核设施运营单位的核应急能力评估指标体系构建

核设施运营单位的核应急能力评价是核设施运营单位风险评估及核应急管理的重要内容,构建核设施运营单位的核应急能力评价体系可以提升核设施运营单位的核应急响应能力和管理能力。在对某4个核设施运营单位的20位专家进行两轮咨询的基础上,结合已有国内外研究成果,并采用临界值法对评价指标进行筛选,建立了一个包含3项一级指标,13项二级指标,38项三级指标的核设施运营单位核应急能力评价指标体系。指标体系综合考虑了影响核设施运营单位的核应急能力的主要因素,涵盖了核设施运营单位的核应急工作的各个方面,且各指标之间相对独立,操作方便,实施起来简单易行,可协助发现核设施营运单位在应急响应能力方面存在的问题,对核设施运营单位的核应急能力建设起到积极的促进作用。     

安徽省学前教育资源地区间配置差异分析

笔者采用锡尔指数及其一阶模型,对安徽省学前教育中的经费投入、师资力量、办学规模等教育资源配置的差异进行了测度,并将教育资源配置的差异性分解为皖北、皖中、皖南三个地域间的差异以及三个地域内各地区之间的差异。研究发现：三个地域内各地区差异是造成全省学前教育资源配置差异的主要原因;学前教育经费投入、师资力量和办学规模都存在着不同程度的配置差异,其中财政性教育公用费各地区差异最明显,专任教师的缺乏造成了各地区师资力量资源配置的差异;办学规模已基本能满足全省幼儿入园的需要,但结构性矛盾仍然突出。     

国家创新型城市效率评价研究——基于两阶段DEA模型

采用共享投入型两阶段数据包络分析（DEA）模型,并构建多环节的创新型城市评价指标体系,对长三角地区创新型城市的创新效率进行评价。结果表明:在未来国家创新型城市建设过程中,相关城市不仅要考虑科技创新,还应考虑经济效益、社会效益和生态效益;在资金投入方面,需要构建金融创新体系,深化资本市场的建设,提升对创新创业的支持力度,强化科技金融服务能力;在创新型城市的建设过程中,应加快产业结构的调整,鼓励自主创业和创新型中小企业的发展,加快推进城市的生态文明建设。     

中国省域碳排放的空间特征及影响因素

通过核密度分布和莫兰指数对中国2000—2015年30省份碳排放强度的动态趋势及集聚特征进行测度,并利用空间杜宾模型对其主要影响因素进行分析。结果显示:（1）中国30省份碳排放强度呈下降趋势,新常态以来低碳步伐加快;（2）碳排放强度的空间集聚性具有高水平集中、低水平集聚特征,空间溢出效应不断增强;（3）本省经济规模、产业结构对本省碳排放强度具有显著的正向影响,专利产出具有显著的负向影响;相邻省份的外商投资规模及能源消费结构变化对本省碳排放具有显著的空间溢出作用。因此,未来中国加快产业结构调整幅度、优化相邻省份间的产业空间布局以及大力发展绿色技术进步是中国促进区域低碳转型的主要方向,同时生态城镇化以及继续改善外商直接投资质量也是减排潜力因子,省域间的减排空间溢出效果不容忽视。     

Social capital in Croatia: measurement and regional distribution

By using partial least squares path modeling, this paper develops a complex index of social capital, selects Croatia as the case for testing and validating the index, and investigates the regional distribution of social capital. The social capital index is defined as a complex hierarchical structured construct of third-order with social trust, participation, and civism as its core dimensions. The main results indicate that civism is the most important cause of social capital followed by active participation and social trust. As far as the regional distribution of social capital is concerned, there are statistically significant differences across the Croatian regions. Although the lowest or below the national average level of social capital and its dimensions can be mostly found in the least developed regions (with the exception of the capital), the highest level of social capital and its particular dimensions is not achieved in the most developed regions.     

Inference for quantile measures of kurtosis,peakedness, and tail weight

Insight into measures of peakedness, heavy-tailedness, and kurtosis can be gained by studying Ruppert’s ratios of interquantile ranges. They are not only monotone in Horn’s measure of peakedness when applied to the central portion of the population, but also monotone in the practical tail-index of Morgenthaler and Tukey, when applied to the tails. Non-parametric confidence intervals are found for Ruppert’s ratios, and sample sizes required to obtain such intervals for a pre-specified relative width and level are provided. In addition, the empirical power of distribution-free tests for peakedness and bimodality are found for some symmetric distributions.     

An Extended Single‐index Model with Missing Response at Random

An extended single‐index model is considered when responses are missing at random. A three‐step estimation procedure is developed to define an estimator for the single‐index parameter vector by a joint estimating equation. The proposed estimator is shown to be asymptotically normal. An algorithm for computing this estimator is proposed. This algorithm only involves one‐dimensional nonparametric smoothers, thereby avoiding the data sparsity problem caused by high model dimensionality. Some simulation studies are conducted to investigate the finite sample performances of the proposed estimators.     

城市管理导向的居民幸福指数测评研究——以安徽省为例

Stakeholder Performance Measurement in Nonprofit Organizations

According to recent findings, nonprofit organizations should address the relationships of nonprofit service quality, satisfaction, loyalty, and organizational identification when planning and evaluating donor surveys. This article presents a donor satisfaction barometer that can be used to gain insights into the strength of these key relationships and thereby establish a basis for calculated relevant indices. With such indices, nonprofit organizations can compare stakeholder performance over time and benchmark themselves against other organizations. Data from 2,599 blood donors to one section of the German Red Cross, collected through the proposed donor satisfaction barometer, show that service quality drives satisfaction, and donor satisfaction and organizational identification both exert significant positive effects on donor loyalty. Therefore, nonprofit organizations should use a combined strategic approach that improves both donor satisfaction and organizational identification to increase donor loyalty. The successful application of the donor satisfaction barometer also suggests its value for other nonprofit industries and offers important insights for managers.     

Construction of closed interval for process capability indices Cpu,Cpl, and Spk based on Boole’s inequality and de Morgan’s laws

ABSTRACT

Considerable effort has been spent on the development of confidence intervals for process capability indices (PCIs) based on the sampling distribution of the PCI or the transferred PCI. However, there is still no definitive way to construct a closed interval for a PCI. The aim of this study is to develop closed intervals for the PCIs C_pu, C_pl, and S_pk based on Boole's inequality and de Morgan's laws. The relationships between different sample sizes, the significance levels, and the confidence intervals of the PCIs C_pu, C_pl, and S_pk are investigated. Then, a testing model for interval estimation for the PCIs C_pu, C_pl, and S_pk is built as a powerful tool for measuring the quality performance of a product. Finally, an applied example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed method and the testing model.
