Approximating the Conway–Maxwell–Poisson distribution normalization constant

By adding a second parameter, Conway and Maxwell created a new distribution for situations where data deviate from the standard Poisson distribution. This new distribution contains a normalization constant expressed as an infinite sum whose summation has no known closed-form expression. Shmueli et al. produced an approximation for this sum but proved that it was valid only for integer values of the second parameter, although they conjectured it was also valid for non-integers. Here we prove their conjecture to be true and discuss for what range of parameters the approximation can be accurately applied.     

论孔子"正名"思想与社会的可持续发展

社会运行规范化与西北民族社会的和谐

用“层间状态”概念对社会运行状态作出简单的补正是有必要的,更为符合我国社会转型的特定话语背景。 社会运行规范化的基本要求至少应该包括以下几个方面:(1)社会运行的安全;(2)社会运行的可持续;(3)社会运 行的和谐。在急剧分化的客观情境下,西北地区民族社会的和谐就是要创设和谐共生的民族关系,就要求人们能够 不断挖掘隐藏干心中的道德性资源,不断地孕育人道主义的成果。

Can digital skills raise occupational prestige among ethnic minorities?

Using data from a large-scale Annual Social Survey of Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics, we investigate the correlation between digital skills and occupational prestige among veteran Jews and two minority groups, namely Arabs and immigrants to Israel from the Former Soviet Union (FSU). Our findings show that both minority groups have significant disadvantages in occupational prestige compared to veteran Jews. Although causation cannot be inferred because of the correlational design of our study, digital skills were found to contribute to occupational prestige among veteran Jews and FSU immigrants, beyond the classic socio-demographic factors. The occupational prestige gap between veteran Jews and FSU immigrants was eliminated after controlling for socio-demographic variables and before taking digital skills into consideration. The effect of digital skills on occupational prestige among Arabs was insignificant and after controlling for socio-demographic and digital skills, the gap in occupational prestige between veteran Jews and Arabs remained significant.     

常态化与正规化：社会转型期流动人口管理的新构想

伴随着工业化进程的加速,流动人口规模以超常规的态势增长。随着社会条件的复杂,流动人口所引发的社会问题也越来越复杂化,流动人口的城市择业、社会生活、子代教育和社会保障等问题日趋严峻,鉴于此,对于流动人口的管理首先在理念上要推陈出新,政府及各职能部门、社区等需要通力配合,流动人口管理才能步入常态化、正规化和合理化。     

全球会计治理及启示

经济全球化凸显以全球视野解决国际性会计问题的重要性,在借鉴全球治理理论的基础上,形成以协调与合作为基调的全球会计治理框架。这一新模式对以往会计实践中的狭隘视野、微观计量与被动适应的理念形成冲击。为此,在会计实践中应着眼于会计的宏观经济社会性后果,培育全球会计价值观,突出理论导向与优化职业判断能力,以造就全球化会计人才。

Risk Perception and Technological Development at a Societal Level

This article tests the hypothesis that the exposure to the threat to societies posed by the introduction of new technologies is associated with a normalization of risk perception. Data collected in 2000 by the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) on environmental issues were used to explore this hypothesis. Representative samples from 25 countries were employed to assess the national levels of perceived threat to the environment associated with a series of technologies and activities. These values were correlated with economic indicators (mainly from the World Bank) of the diffusion of each of the technologies or activities in each country. Results indicate a negative association of risk perception with the level of technological prevalence (societal normalization effect) and a positive association with the rate of growth of the technology (societal sensitivity effect). These results indicate that the most acute levels of perceived environmental risk are found in those countries where the level of technological prevalence is low but where there has recently been substantial technological development. Environmental awareness is a mediator of the relationship between risk perception and the indices of technological diffusion. This result means that: (1) societal normalization of risk is not a direct consequence of prevalence of the technology, but is driven by awareness of technological development and that (2) societal sensitivity to risk is associated with lower levels of environmental awareness.     

模糊决策中常用的规范化方法

在多属性决策的研究中，规范是决策过程中必不可少的步骤。根据多属性决策属性理论，明确了效益型、成本型、固定型、区间型、偏离型、偏离区间型等六种属性的评价值是表示梯形模糊数时的规范化方法，并同已有的效益型、成本型的规范化方法进行了比较和例证分析。结果表明，常用的六种规范化方法在模糊决策中具有较好的应用价值。
