欲望之死--对《长恨歌》人物形象的一种解读

王安忆的《长恨歌》用冷峻的笔触,刻画了20世纪40年代到80年代各文化话语转型时期不同人物的欲望表达及欲望之死。从意识形态话语角度来看,这些人物的欲望表达都是以一定社会文化话语形式呈现出来的,并包含着一种冲突统治意识形态话语和日常意识形态话语的冲突。统治意识形态话语支配、控制着日常意识形态话语,从而使欲望表达产生扭曲悲哀的特征,欲望对象遥不可及,欲望之死呈现出带有恐惧感和震撼感的悲剧性。     

地方政府公共服务质量评价体系及其应用

在追溯国外公共服务理论的发展轨迹和国内服务型政府的研究现状、依据新公共服务理论和顾客价值理论、分析公共服务的公民价值内涵及其实现过程而建立的面向公民价值的政府公共服务研究框架的基础上,地方政府公共服务质量评价指标体系包括功能价值、情感价值、社会价值和感知代价四个维度,共45个具体指标.基于该评价指标体系进行的理论分析和实证评价结果表明,基于公民价值的地方政府公共服务质量评价,既有利于形成公共服务导向的政府绩效评估模式,从而建立公共服务质量持续提升的长效保证机制,又可以帮助各级政府真正理解公民的价值需求,以便更有针对性地提供公共服务,从根本上推动我国服务型政府建设.

发展循环经济建设节约型社会

一、建设节约型社会是缓解资源瓶颈的大战略 众所周知,能源、原材料、水、土地等自然资源是人类赖以生存和发展的基础,是经济社会可持续发展的重要物质保证.从总体上看,中国经济的快速发展在很大程度上是靠物质资源的高消耗实现的,粗放型的增长方式还没有根本转变,高速行驶的经济列车使能源、水、土地、矿产等资源不足的矛盾日益显现.     

从传统反法到海上争霸─—中古英国对外关系的演进

１１－１７世纪英国对外关系的演进，经历了一个由与法国争夺领地的传统战争到与欧陆海上强国争夺海洋霸权的过程，表现出古代封建王室外交向近代资产阶级国家外交转变的特征。这一转变是封建盛、晚期政治、经济、文化等诸因素共同作用的结果。它对这一时期英国及西欧大陆各主要国家的发展产生了重大影响，为近代欧洲和世界关系格局的形成奠定了基础。     

环境与发展--论发达国家与发展中国家之间的公平

环境与发展问题关系到人类的生存和发展,是当代国际社会面临的重大课题。但正是在这一问题上,发展中国家与发达国家的立场存在着根本的分歧。本文通过论述保护环境的重要性和发展经济的必要性,以代际公平和代内公平理论为基础,展示了目前发展中国家和发达国家在环境与发展问题上不可调和的矛盾。     

浅析邓小平社会控制思想

人类社会的存在和发展,需要稳定的社会秩序,而稳定社会秩序的维系则有赖于社会控制.邓小平从我国社会主义初级阶段实际出发,通过长期实践逐步摸索出了一整套行之有效的社会控制思想,其内容主要包括以解放和发展生产力为控制基点;以改革开放为控制动力;以实现社会发展为最高目标;以"三步走"模式为控制策略;以实现人民利益为控制机制.在这一理论指导下,中国社会保持了平稳有序的发展.     

On the Advantage of Quantity Leadership When Outsourcing Production to a Competitive Contract Manufacturer

This study investigates a supply chain comprising an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and a contract manufacturer (CM), in which the CM acts as both upstream partner and downstream competitor to the OEM. The two parties can engage in one of three Cournot competition games: a simultaneous game, a sequential game with the OEM as the Stackelberg leader, and a sequential game with the CM as the Stackelberg leader. On the basis of these three basic games, this study investigates the two parties' Stackelberg leadership/followership decisions. When the outsourcing quantity and wholesale price are exogenously given, either party may prefer Stackelberg leadership or followership. For example, when the wholesale price or the proportion of production outsourced to the CM is lower than a threshold value, both parties prefer Stackelberg leadership and, consequently, play a simultaneous game in the consumer market. When the outsourcing quantity and wholesale price are decision variables, the competitive CM sets a wholesale price sufficiently low to allow both parties to coexist in the market, and the OEM outsources its entire production to this CM. This study also examines the impact of the supply chain parties' bargaining power on contract outcomes by considering a wholesale price that is determined via the generalized Nash bargaining scheme, finding a Stackelberg equilibrium to be sustained when the CM's degree of bargaining power is great and the non‐competitive CM's wholesale price is high.     

Simultaneous estimation and inference for multiple response variables

Multivariate data arise frequently in biomedical and health studies where multiple response variables are collected across subjects. Unlike a univariate procedure fitting each response separately, a multivariate regression model provides a unique opportunity in studying the joint evolution of various response variables. In this paper, we propose two estimation procedures that improve estimation efficiency for the regression parameter by accommodating correlations among the response variables. The proposed procedures do not require knowledge of the true correlation structure nor does it estimate the parameters associated with the correlation. Theoretical and simulation results confirm that the proposed estimators are more efficient than the one obtained from the univariate approach. We further propose simple and powerful inference procedures for a goodness-of-fit test that possess the chi-squared asymptotic properties. Extensive simulation studies suggest that the proposed tests are more powerful than the Wald test based on the univariate procedure. The proposed methods are also illustrated through the mother’s stress and children’s morbidity study.
