对《劳动合同法》立法宗旨的认识

《劳动合同法》从立法之初,其立法宗旨就引发了社会各界的激烈争论,主要集中在立法根据以及＂单保护＂还是＂双保护＂等问题上。应从倾斜保护的角度认识《劳动合同法》的立法宗旨,即《劳动合同法》既不是＂单保护＂,也不是＂双保护＂,而是在保护劳动者权益的同时,兼顾保护了用人单位的利益。     

Exploring Policy and Financing Options for Long-Term Care in Taiwan

Summary

Policy and financing arrangements for long-term care are important themes in each country and/or region, and Taiwan, with its unique historic and politico-economic background, can be regarded as a bridge between well-developed and under-developed countries. Policy formulation about long-term care in Taiwan involves several agencies in the government, including Ministry of Health, Interior Affairs, Education, Insurance Bureau, and Economic Council, and formulation of policy objectives has progressed considerably in the last five years. Financing arrangements are less well-developed because the National Health Insurance Program began only in 1995, and most long-term care is not yet covered. As demand for long-term care exceeds supply, and this gap will grow in future, current resource allocation measures are concerned to facilitate the expansion of community care rather than allowing institutional care to absorb more resources. Developing future financing options is now a central task for policymaking, and government must continue to take a leading role in consolidating financing and integrating the service systems.     

Exact likelihood inference for Laplace distribution based on Type-II censored samples

We develop exact inference for the location and scale parameters of the Laplace (double exponential) distribution based on their maximum likelihood estimators from a Type-II censored sample. Based on some pivotal quantities, exact confidence intervals and tests of hypotheses are constructed. Upon conditioning first on the number of observations that are below the population median, exact distributions of the pivotal quantities are expressed as mixtures of linear combinations and of ratios of linear combinations of standard exponential random variables, which facilitates the computation of quantiles of these pivotal quantities. Tables of quantiles are presented for the complete sample case.

医疗费用保险适用损失补偿原则之研究——兼评新《保险法》第46条的理解与适用

商业医疗费用保险是否适用损失补偿原则,是一个理论上争议不大但因现行立法的规定而争论不休的问题。同类案件不同的判决结果不仅影响到司法的公正,而且带来了保险市场的混乱。《保险法》的相关规定和保险监督管理机构的规定与保险原理相背。2009年2月28日我国《保险法》作了新的修订,但关于保险的分类及保险代位权等方面仍延续以前的规定,并没有从立法层面对实践中存在的问题作出实质回应。在医疗费用保险中是否适用损失补偿原则需要立法和司法层面的进一步明确,这不仅有利于确保司法机关裁判的统一性和权威性,而且对保险业的经营与发展有指引作用。     

Comments

In this paper we compare Bartlett-corrected, bootstrap, and fast double bootstrap tests on maximum likelihood estimates of cointegration parameters. The key result is that both the bootstrap and the Bartlett-corrected tests must be based on the unrestricted estimates of the cointegrating vectors: procedures based on the restricted estimates have almost no power. The small sample size bias of the asymptotic test appears so severe as to advise strongly against its use with the sample sizes commonly available; the fast double bootstrap test minimizes size bias, while the Bartlett-corrected test is somehow more powerful.     

如何发现DNA是生命的遗传物质

从核酸的发现到DNA双螺旋结构模型建立历时80余年,人类最终确认了DNA是生命的遗传物质,解决了一个生命科学研究中极其关键的重大问题。因此,对此段历史的研究具有重要意义。全面回顾此间发生的对揭示DNA的结构和功能具有重要影响的事件,包括米歇尔发现核酸、列文提出＂四核苷酸假说＂、格里菲斯等人的转化实验、査伽夫提出碱基配对规律,以及沃森和克里克建立DNA双螺旋结构模型,在此基础上阐述人类发现DNA是遗传物质的研究历程,进而探讨科学研究的规律。     

Electile Dysfunction

This essay combines Burke's burlesque frame and Jamieson's double binds to create a hybrid gendered theory for rhetorically analyzing the aggressive sexualization of 2008 United States vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. The essay develops our theory titled the “burlesque binds” and explicates a specific form of a burlesque bind: the “MILF frame.” Palin's aggressively sexualized representation was united under the crass acronym MILF, which stands for “Mom I'd Like to Fuck.” The MILF frame emphasized Palin's feminine qualities, positioning her as a “trophy vice” with no political acumen, and highlighted her masculine behaviors, but deflated them through sexual objectification. The unification of the binds and burlesque theories reveals how Palin's role as a social actor was not simply circumscribed but shut down: she was deemed unfit by both masculine and feminine standards, by both public and private sphere conventions. Although Sarah Palin has arguably been the most prevalent subject of the political MILF frame, our essay catalogues other instances of female political leaders experiencing this type of symbolic degradation, suggesting the MILF frame's vast influence.     

对保险公司上市之思考

改革开放以来,我国保险业得到了快速发展。随着业务规模的扩大及加入世贸组织后与外资保险机构竞争的加剧,我国保险业迫切需要开拓新的融资渠道。发行上市是我国保险业和证券市场发展的双重需要。但目前条件尚未成熟,还需保险公司、保监会、证监会等各方共同努力,尽早推出我国股市的“保险板块”。     

移动通信单向收费定价策略研究

随着移动通信业务的飞速发展,其收费模式和定价策略为世界各国所关注。本文从中国电信产业现状出发,对移动通信单向收费定价策略进行研究,结果表明:①网络外部性对移动通信市场有福利增加效果;②产业发展早期,可采取呼叫付费原则发展移动通信;③产业发展后期,可采取分离付费原则增加社会福利。
