REAL EXCHANGE RATE,MONETARY POLICY,AND THE U.S. ECONOMY: EVIDENCE FROM A FAVAR MODEL

This paper examines the effects of exchange rate depreciation to the U.S. economy in a factor‐augmented vector autoregression model using monthly data of 148 variables for the post–Bretton Woods period of 1973–2017. Exchange rate shock is identified to reflect exogenous disturbances to the foreign exchange market, and movements in exchange rate that are not accounted for by changes in the U.S. monetary policy. We find that depreciation is expansionary and inflationary to the broad U.S. economy, the current account improves over time conforming to the J‐curve theory, and monetary policy is leaning against the wind.

A phenomenological case study on immigrant workers' gambling addiction in Korea

This study explores the experiences that have led some of Korea's immigrant workers into gambling addiction and examines possible social welfare services that could support treatment. Immigrant workers' gambling experience as aliens in Korea was analyzed through the methodology of a phenomenological case study. The participants, who voluntarily consented to the study, were five immigrant workers addicted to gambling. Data were collected through one‐on‐one, in‐depth interviews over 6 months, starting in July 2018. The essential themes that emerged in the interviews were “changing strategies for survival,” “forgetting oneself without any sense of responsibility or shame,” “gambling as routine daily life,” “obsession with making a fortune in one go,” and “no home to return to.” Based on its results, this study makes suggestions for the prevention of gambling addiction in immigrant workers. Further, future research needs to be broadened to analyze nationwide cases of immigrant workers with more diverse demographic backgrounds.     

Everything for the Children: Orphans Growing Up in Informal Adoptive Families in China

Most orphaned children in China are cared for by their extended families or become state wards under the guardianship of child welfare institutions. Some exceptions are children who are found and cared for by families in the community, without a formalized adoption or foster relationship. In some locations, institutions now accept guardianship for these children and support the informal adoptive family to continue to care for them. This article examines the outcomes for these children as they became young adults by comparing these 12 children raised within the system as they approach or have approached young adulthood (now aged 16–40 years-old). Some of the participants were either informally adopted or lived in institutional care. The results of this study found that the family environment was more conducive to the young people’s wellbeing as they approached or entered adulthood. The participants raised in informal care appeared to be treated similar to the biological children in these families. When the institution formalized the state guardianship responsibility, it also meant the families had state resources for support to protect the children’s rights to economic security, education, health care, and social participation. This practice by the institution supported the addition of informal adoption, as one step closer to permanency than foster care. Future implications include considering this option to help promote the family system assisting these children, families, and the state.     

论真德秀《诗经》评点的政教观

真德秀《诗经》评点的政教观以教化为旨归,强调心性涵养、“性情之正”是实现外在政教的唯一途径和手段,把文学价值取向引向主体心性修养,将审美触须深深地扎向人的心性道德,赋予了《诗经》以道德的规定性,这种政教观对后世文学产生了影响。     

论司法中的程序公正

司法公正包括实体公正和程序公正两个方面,其中程序公正是司法公正的核心。罗尔斯将程序正义区分为纯粹的程序正义、完善的程序正义和不完善的程序正义三种类型。根据罗尔斯的程序正义理论,程序公正可以被视为纯粹的程序正义。程序公正的衡量标准包括法官中立、当事人平等、程序公开、司法效率这四方面的基本原则。

明代诗论中的易学命题--“富有”、“日新”的理学诠释与诗学影响

《周易?系辞》所说的“富有之谓大业,日新之谓盛德”是一个被不断赋予新内涵的理论命题。张载、朱熹的阐释表现出不同的思维方式和思想观念,渗透到文学领域,成为明代文学复古派诗论的重要理论支柱。何景明和王世贞多承张载之说,强调“义理一贯”以简化法度,李梦阳和李攀龙则多沿朱熹之论,看重“藏用”和“显仁”的辩证关系,坚信“变化”、“日新”是循序渐进的必然结果。

关于高周疲劳损伤演化方程的讨论

首先,指出Lemaitre等提出的高周疲劳损伤演化方程只适用于等效应力循环为等幅的加载情形.然后,基于等效应力循环为不等幅的加载情形,推导出适用于高周疲劳的损伤演化方程,说明上述等幅加载情形的损伤演化方程只是高周疲劳损伤演化方程的一个特例,且后者的结果更具一般性.
