Exploring Home Sharing for Elders

Research suggests that third party-arranged home sharing (“TPAHS”) enables elders to remain at home in advanced age by connecting elder home owners with suitable live-in “matches.” TPAHS potentially saves elders, their families, and Medicaid budgets millions of a dollars per year in avoided and postponed nursing home costs. In interviews with elder TPAHS participants of one TPAHS program, we found that similarity in values, ability to utilize the TPAHS organization's guidance, and, when relevant, familiarity with their matches' mental health challenges, correlated with said participants' satisfaction with their matches while a lack of these qualities correlated with match dissatisfaction. With these findings in mind, we suggest strategies TPAHS organizations can use to best serve the elderly TPAHS participants who may benefit from intensified match support but may not seek it.     

“文化族别化”的当代困境及其反思

民族识别工作中以客观的民族文化特征作为民族分类的主要依据,导致了人们对民族文化具有独特性、民族之间的文化具有差异性的强调,最终导致了"文化族别化"。"文化族别化"不能解释不同群体之间普遍存在的交往、交流、交融的客观事实,又将地域性的文化转化为具有明确民族归属的民族文化。对"文化族别化"这种社会认识面临的困境展开讨论和反思,有利于申明民族之间存在广泛的文化交流和客观联系。更为重要的是,承认民族之间的交流和联系比刻意地强调民族之间存在的差异更加重要。     

Information Sharing in a Manufacturer–Supplier Relationship: Suppliers' Incentive and Production Efficiency

While there have been vast discussions on the materialistic benefits of continuous improvement from the Toyota and Honda experiences, the academic literature pays little attention to information sharing. In this study, we construct a dynamic adverse selection model in which the supplier privately observes her production efficiency, and in the contractual duration the manufacturer obtains an informative but imprecise signal regarding this private efficiency. We show that despite the disclosure of proprietary information, information sharing may benefit the supplier; the supplier's voluntary participation is more likely to occur when the shared information is rather imprecise. On the other hand, our analysis also reveals that this information sharing unambiguously gives rise to an upward push of the production quantity, and may sometimes lead to an upward distortion that ultimately hurts the supply chain. We also document the non‐trivial impact of the timing of information sharing on the supplier's incentive to participate.     

目标取向对员工创新行为的影响机制研究——基于隐性知识共享行为的视角

在目前中国经济创新驱动转型的时代,企业对员工个人创新行为的依赖度越来越高.文章基于11家企业184名被试的问卷调查数据,采用结构方程分析方法,探索员工不同的目标取向通过隐性知识共享行为对创新行为的影响机制.研究结果表明,学习目标取向对隐性知识共享行为产生正向影响;绩效证明取向对隐性知识共享行为产生正向影响;绩效回避取向对隐性知识共享行为的影响效果不显著;同时,隐性知识共享行为对员工创新行为有显著影响,目标取向通过隐性知识共享行为对员工创新行为起间接作用.该研究结论进一步拓展了隐性知识共享行为在目标取向和员工创新行为中间接作用的研究领域,也为创新驱动型组织建设提供理论指导依据.

高校校内信息资源共建共享的统一性

在信息资源共建共事的过程中，坚持统一性原则就意味着同一所高校范围内学校图书馆和各二级院系资料室．从宏观层面上看。在政策的制定与实施、标准的确立与执行、目标的设置与实现等方面都要具有高度的一致性，这样才能够顺利实现高校校内信息资源的共建共享。     

Serials Clutter in Online Catalogs

Abstract

Finding and deciphering serials records in online catalogs is a challenge to many library users. To understand and analyze these challenges, the author conducted searches for scientific journal titles in the online catalogs of Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) libraries. The first part of the study measures the difficulty of retrieving serial records from online catalogs comparing one-word versus multiple-word titles. The second part analyzes displays for complexity by measuring the length of the complete record and the length of the holdings statements. These data show the complexity of displays and indicate the potential confusion that these displays may induce in library users.     

Sharing beyond Slacktivism: the effect of socially observable prosocial media sharing on subsequent offline helping behavior

New forms of youth social and political participation have been termed ‘Slacktivism’ – low-cost online forms of social engagement that decrease subsequent offline participation. Previous experimental work has provided support for a ‘Slacktivism effect,’ but it is unclear if this theoretical model applies to youth media sharing on social networking sites. This study uses a novel sharing simulation paradigm to test the effect of publicly vs. anonymously sharing a social cause video on subsequent willingness to engage in offline helping behavior. Results show that publicly (as compared to anonymously) sharing a selected video on one’s own Facebook wall led to a greater willingness to volunteer for an issue-related cause. Participants’ existing use of social media for engagement in social issues/causes moderated the effect, such that only participants low in use of social media for social engagement were susceptible to the sharing manipulation. Implications for reconceptualizing media sharing as a unique form of online participation beyond ‘Slacktivism’ are discussed.     

安全的多层门限秘密共享方案

考虑到多层组织共享秘密,设计了多层门限秘密共享方案。本文方案安全性基于RSA密码体制、Sham ir门限方案以及哈希函数的安全性。方案中,秘密份额由参与者选择和保存,秘密分发者也不知晓。每个参与者只须维护一个秘密份额,可实现对多个秘密的共享。方案不需要安全信道,算法能够保障信息安全传送以及验证真实性。     

The inner circle: Building bridges or boundaries between researchers and practitioners

An epistemological and methodological approach, The Change Laboratory, is analysed to determine which forms of distributing knowledge are apparent during cross-cultural research. Distributing knowledge is intricately related to methodological design, to researchers’ and practitioners’ life experiences and to roles of power. The article concludes that research conducted across cultures necessitates careful analysis of the power found within forms of distributing knowledge. This power is derived from a tacit belief that certain knowledge is only available to those within a given circle or that it is available to those outside a given circle without alteration.
