蝴蝶翩翩梦寰宇——谈老庄思想与几位英美作家的心灵契合

老庄思想自古是中国知识分子遭受挫折后藉以调节心理，安顿生命，养护心灵的哲学，老庄著作自19世纪末翻译成英文传入西方后受到了学术界的广泛关注，并进入一些著名作家的创作视野。文章撷取了奥尼尔、王尔德、毛姆三位英美作家的代表作品加以分析，综合评述了有关他们的创作与道家思想的某些契合关系，揭示出他们各自生活中不同的精神创伤是老庄思想与他们取得共同的心灵契合的原因。     

A Risk-Based Method for Modeling Traffic Fatalities

We describe a risk-based analytical framework for estimating traffic fatalities that combines the probability of a crash and the probability of fatality in the event of a crash. As an illustrative application, we use the methodology to explore the role of vehicle mix and vehicle prevalence on long-run fatality trends for a range of transportation growth scenarios that may be relevant to developing societies. We assume crash rates between different road users are proportional to their roadway use and estimate case fatality ratios (CFRs) for the different vehicle-vehicle and vehicle-pedestrian combinations. We find that in the absence of road safety interventions, the historical trend of initially rising and then falling fatalities observed in industrialized nations occurred only if motorization was through car ownership. In all other cases studied (scenarios dominated by scooter use, bus use, and mixed use), traffic fatalities rose monotonically. Fatalities per vehicle had a falling trend similar to that observed in historical data from industrialized nations. Regional adaptations of the model validated with local data can be used to evaluate the impacts of transportation planning and safety interventions, such as helmets, seat belts, and enforcement of traffic laws, on traffic fatalities.

Dementia Problem Behavior and the Production of Informal Caregiving Services

Informal caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease spend a considerable amount of time providing care. In this paper, we use Grossman's health production and Becker's time allocation models to develop a model of informal care provision to elderly dementia patients. In our model, time inputs produce caregiving services, which provides utility to the caregiver, but reduces leisure. We assume that time is less productive of services on the margin as the disease progresses. In this framework, an increase in patients' disease severity does not necessarily increase informal caregiver time input. The cost of formal care establishes a reservation price for informal caregiving. When the costs of informal caregiving rise above this reservation level, the patient is institutionalized. We test empirically the effect of deterioration in the patients' condition, proxied by both disease severity and dementia problem behavior, on informal caregiving time. We find that dementia-related problem behaviors and functional limitations significantly increase inputs of informal caregiving time. Patients' problem behavior exerts a modifying effect on functional limitations, and patients' comorbidities have no effect on informal caregiving time.

中国始炼硫化汞时间新证

中国始炼硫化汞的时间问题,因其关涉到“人类第一次用自己的劳动得到了实质上与天然产物无二的成果”,而引起科技史家的极大关注,但因缺乏确凿资料,以至该问题一直悬而未决。事实上,此前学界认为道士升炼硫化汞的时间大略始于隋代的观点是值得商榷的。仅以《道藏》所载炼丹文献为例,即可粗举数例隋代以前与升炼硫化汞相关的资料。进一步的考证说明,中国古代道士早在南北朝或晋代甚至汉代,就已经能够用人工的方法升炼硫化汞了。     

老子法律思想探微

老子思想中包括了内涵丰富,体系完整,门类齐全的法律思想。老子是世界上第一个提出自然法思想的智者,“人法地,地法天,天法道,道法自然”。笔者将尝试用以老喻老,以儒喻老,以今喻老,以法喻老等方法,从法学流派、实体和程序法学等几个方面论述老子的法律思想。     

Effects of Medicaid managed care policies on mental health service use among a national probability sample of children in the child welfare system

Children in the child welfare system are dependent upon Medicaid to finance services for their considerable mental health needs. This study examines the effects of Medicaid policies on mental health service use among a national probability sample of children in the child welfare system. Data for this study came from the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being, the Caring for Children in Child Welfare study, and the Area Resource File. Weighted multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to estimate effects of policy variables on children's use of mental health services, controlling for child-level covariates and county-level health resources. Children in counties with behavioral carve-outs under Medicaid managed care had lower odds of inpatient mental health service use. Medicaid managed care enrollment and variations in type of provider reimbursement did not affect use of mental health services. Older age, greater need for mental health services, and higher levels of caregiver education were associated with increased odds of service use. Restrictions on use of inpatient mental healthcare caused by behavioral carve-outs may disproportionately affect children in the child welfare system who have high rates of such use. Careful adoption of carve-outs is necessary to assure appropriate care for these children.
