On Bartlett correction of empirical likelihood for regularly spaced spatial data

Bartlett correction constitutes one of the attractive features of empirical likelihood because it enables the construction of confidence regions for parameters with improved coverage probabilities. We study the Bartlett correction of spatial frequency domain empirical likelihood (SFDEL) based on general spectral estimating functions for regularly spaced spatial data. This general formulation can be applied to testing and estimation problems in spatial analysis, for example testing covariance isotropy, testing covariance separability as well as estimating the parameters of spatial covariance models. We show that the SFDEL is Bartlett correctable. In particular, the improvement in coverage accuracies of the Bartlett‐corrected confidence regions depends on the underlying spatial structures.

Communication in Statistics-Theory and methods improved GQL estimation method for the generalised BINMA(1) model

In a recent research, the quasi-likelihood estimation methodology was developed to estimate the regression effects in the Generalized BINMA(1) (GBINMA(1)) process. The method provides consistent parameter estimates but, in the intermediate computations, moment estimating equations were used to estimate the serial- and cross-correlation parameters. This procedure may not result optimal parameter estimates, in particular, for the regression effects. This paper provides an alternative simpler GBINMA(1) process based on multivariate thinning properties where the main effects are estimated via a robust generalized quasi-likelihood (GQL) estimation approach. The two techniques are compared through some simulation experiments. A real-life data application is studied.     

Business Collaboration within the Nazi War Machine: Corporations and the State in the Austrian Semiperiphery

The military strength of German National Socialism was based on the collaboration of large corporations with the Nazi state. Business provided capital, loans, taxes, managerial expertise and production for war industries. I elaborate four ideal‐typical modes of business collaboration. Each mode is illustrated by a case study of a German corporation that acquires an Austrian firm: Krupp (traditional mode); the Reichswerke state conglomerate (coercive); Deutsche Bank (managerial nationalist); and IG Farben (competitive investment mode). The first and the last modes occurred when the state was highly dependent on large businesses for the economic requisites of war. The acquired firms in the Austrian semiperiphery contributed to Nazi war mobilization, as they exploited labor and resources from the peripheral regions of southeastern Europe. Patterns of the state's resource dependency on business led to bargaining interactions between state and business, over time shaping the mix between state and private ownership of war industry.     

文化认知中定向思维模式的建构与解构——以中国少数民族文化范式为研究视阈

定向思维模式的建构与解构实际上反映出认知结构的二重性特征,两者在文化认知活动中可互为挹注共存于对立统一关系里。因此,对中国少数民族文化范式的研究,不仅要重视建构之功能催生的符号化文化构成,还应关注解构之功能显现的非常见的文化元素。同时,只有弄清楚定向思维模式的建构与解构在文化认知中的意涵,才能明确定向思维模式的“趋向”和“专注”特点以及“惰化”和“孤立”倾向,从而为牵及民族文化事项的认知固化与迁移提供理论工具并用以指导多元文化实践。     

宁夏生态移民社会适应与心理健康现状调查——以杨显村等10个移民点为例

本文以宁夏10个生态移民点为例,对迁移后的309名移民的心理健康、社会适应状况及影响因素进行实证研究.结果表明:生态移民心理健康状况不容乐观,且不同性别、年龄段、职业变迁与未变迁生态移民的心理健康状况存在差异;不同年龄段、不同文化程度、职业变迁与未变迁及不同迁入时间的生态移民的社会适应状况存在差异;消极应对方式和社会适应状况影响移民的心理健康水平;社会支持、消极应对方式及心理健康影响生态移民的社会适应状况;心理健康和社会适应水平相互影响.针对宁夏生态移民的具体特点,提出了提高移民心理健康水平、改善社会适应状况的具体建议.     

寻求合法性——从经学到纬学

汉代政治的合法性由经学和纬学共同建构,二者都承继了先秦儒学以道德作为政治合法性依据的思想精义,然后各自加以发挥、扩展.经学所重在哲学,通过阴阳五行宇宙观下的天人感应为政治的道德合法性依据提供形而上论证,纬学所重在神话,通过一个虚构的帝王世系和他们受命的故事来展示以道德作为政治合法性依据为正当.在思想上二者并不绝然分离,往往相互交错.经学和纬学的政治合法性建构对于中国的政治文化传统具有重要的发生学意义.     

从《廿一史弹词》看杨慎对史传文学叙事传统的吸纳与重构

<廿一史弹词>是明代积学之士杨慎谪戍滇南时创作的一部雅俗共赏的通俗历史读物,其主要叙事优势在于对纷繁芜杂的历史事实采取"提要构元"的叙事策略.一方面,充分吸纳、合理继承史传文学叙事传统:采用"以年月为经,以事实为纬",编年体结构方式,评鸷历史事实多取正统史家观点,援引历代史书相关文献作为弹词内容;另一方面,结合弹词这种新兴艺术形式对其进行不同程度的嫁接与重构:或模仿史传论赞的体例,在开篇和篇末以引词、散场词或诗曰等形式对历史事实进行主观评价,或摆脱史传叙事语言庄重典雅的风格,语言表现趋向浅俗易懂.     

后哥本哈根时代世界经济发展趋势及中国的对策

哥本哈根气候大会尽管没有达成具有法律约束力的协议,但是它却对世界经济的发展产生了深远影响,低碳经济理念成为全球共识.在今后相当长的时期,世界经济发展呈现如下趋势:发达国家和地区将实现社会发展模式转型,新的贸易投资机会将被催生,碳减排国际合作潜力巨大,碳关税可能成为影响国际贸易的新壁垒,战略性新兴产业国际竞争趋于激烈等.如此发展趋势将对我国经济发展提出新的挑战,集中表现在减排压力、出口压力、制造业发展压力和开放经济战略实施压力等,因此需要正视后哥本哈根时代的世界经济形势,把握低碳时代脉搏,勇于面对挑战,从国际国内两个层面采取对策推动我国经济社会向更高层次发展.     

大学生创造性思维培养研究

创造性思维是创造活动的核心,创造性思维源于智能的驱动——灵感、直觉和想象,研究三者的形成与表现对大学生创造性思维的培养有极其重要的意义。大学生的创造性思维培养应当从逻辑思维训练、知识与信息补充、创造意识激发、科学素质与人文素质融合、实践活动开展等几个方面入手。
