Designs with Repeated Measurements on Any Number of Units over Varying Periods

In the usual repeated measurements designs (RMDs), the subjects are all observed for the same number of periods and the optimum RMDs require specified numbers of subjects, usually depending on the number of treatments to be used. In practice, it is sometimes not feasible to meet these requirements. To overcome this problem, alternative designs are suggested where any number of available subjects may be used and they may be observed for different periods. These designs are based on suitable serially balanced sequences which are shown to be optimal. Moreover, besides the usual direct and residual effects, the model considered has an extra term due to the interaction effect between them. The recommended designs are universally optimal in a very general class.     

The Individual Deprivation Measure: measuring poverty as if gender and inequality matter

As inequality deepens globally and within countries it is vital that we know how poverty shapes, constrains, and often destroys the lives of women and men. We know from decades of research that poverty is experienced differently by women and men, yet existing mainstream measures of poverty have been blind to gender. This article focuses on the Individual Deprivation Measure (IDM), a multi-dimensional measure of poverty and inequality designed to illuminate rather than obscure gender differences. Developed over the past five years by an inter-disciplinary research team based at the Australian National University, the IDM is grounded in research with women and men across 18 sites in six countries. Unlike most mainstream measures of poverty, the IDM takes the individual, rather than the household, as the unit of analysis. As a result, the IDM is able to capture gendered differences in the ways poverty is experienced, and also differences according to other markers of identity or social status, such as age, ethnicity, or geographic location.     

伦理学与纳米制药:新药的价值敏感设计

尽管纳米药物的应用正在进一步发展并已经走向市场,但迄今为止,纳米制药仍然被视为一项新兴技术,它的概念并不明了。纳米制药也可以解释为一种会聚技术,它结合多种技术特征,范围从纳米技术波及到医学和信息通信技术。它的特征是否会引起新的伦理问题,或者这些相关纳米制药的伦理问题仅仅是基础领域现存问题的延伸至今仍在争论之中。我们认为,不管关联的伦理问题新奇还是技术进步引致的发展,都影响纳米制药领域的利益相关者发挥这样的作用,即要求以不同的方式负责任地创新。关联纳米制药的特有特征和会聚技术引进的特征在要求以不同方式负责的利益相关者中引起角色转换。我们提出,价值敏感设计是利益相关者在新纳米药物开发的早期阶段负责任地参与解决道德问题的一个适宜框架。

Gender-sensitive data: the state of the art in Europe*

Gender statistics play a crucial role in social research and in the creation of gender sensitive policies. Gender statistics document the situation of women and men around the world, making it easier to raise awareness about inequalities between them, to monitor gender equality and promote actionable change. There is thus a need to encourage awareness about gender statistics and their usefulness in gender mainstreaming. The paper has different aims: (1) to discuss the role of gender statistics and gender sensitive indicators; (2) to give an overview of the main gender sensitive European databases; (3) to present the European Commission Strategy on Gender Equality; (4) to display information collected by the European Institute for Gender Equality (Eige) database; (5) to promote proposal for increasing the gender sensitivity of social indicators.

文明类型论纲

与改革开放的成就和中国特色社会主义理论相比,马克思主义基础理论的发展显得远远落后.基础理论面临的任务是"科学革命"和"范式"变换.要完成这一创新任务,必须与时俱进,转换理论视角--从过去研究社会主义(与资本主义对立)的视角转向研究文明类型的视角,从中弄清楚中华文明的类型、特征和发展规律,弄清楚中国特色社会主义的历史地位.主导性整合要素是划分文明类型的根据,据此可以把世界现存主要文明划分为宗教主导型文明(印度文明)、政治主导型文明(中华文明)、经济主导型文明(西方文明)等类型.不同文明有各具特色的社会历史发展阶段,有各自在发展过程中容易出现的偏向和问题.从发展趋势看,宗教将逐渐失去主导性整合要素的地位和作用;同时,不同文明类型之间将逐渐趋近.文明类型研究对马克思主义基础理论的与时俱进具有重要作用,也对继续推进改革有指导作用.
