Local estimation for varying-coefficient models with longitudinal data

Varying-coefficient models are very useful for longitudinal data analysis. In this paper, we focus on varying-coefficient models for longitudinal data. We develop a new estimation procedure using Cholesky decomposition and profile least squares techniques. Asymptotic normality for the proposed estimators of varying-coefficient functions has been established. Monte Carlo simulation studies show excellent finite-sample performance. We illustrate our methods with a real data example.     

社会工作专业服务的本土框架和理论依据 ——一项本土专业服务场域的动态分析?

近十年来，在政府的大力推动下，中国社会工作的发展已经由体制外逐渐走进体制内，与体制的融合成为最迫切、最关键的问题，而融合的最基础专业服务场域就是社区。文章针对社区专业社会工作者与居委会动态关联的分析发现：（1）居委会承担着管理和服务双重角色，采取综合管理服务方式，与追求专业服务的社会工作存在不同的服务逻辑；（2）借助项目综合社会工作服务，能够把专业社会工作服务与居委会的综合管理服务融合起来。两种常见的融合方式，一是注重社区整体能力提升的社区社会工作；二是关注专项服务延伸的社区的社会工作；（3）本土社会工作专业服务的理论依据是“双主体（社会工作者和居委会）”的项目综合社会工作服务的场景服务逻辑，有别于西方七八十年出现的注重在实际生活场景中开展的综合社会工作服务逻辑。     

从“稻鱼鸭共生”看侗族的原生饮食——以贵州省从江县稻鱼鸭共生系统为例

侗族先民以生产糯稻为主，并利用稻田养鱼鸭，创造了侗族地区“稻鱼鸭共生”的原始有机农业文化经典形式。侗族特有的生存环境和农耕方式，形成了侗族人民食不离酸、喜糯食、喜酒、好鱼、茶饮独特等饮食特点及文化。侗族的原生食品加工方法独特，选料考究，营养价值高，富含各种人体所必需的营养物质，特别是以鱼类为加工原料的侗族酸食富含人体所需的可溶性钙是新鲜鱼食品的16倍以上，“稻鱼鸭共生”系统成为侗族食材的一个重要来源。稻鱼鸭复合系统保证了侗族传统食品的特殊性及无公害性，只有优质的传统原生态食材才能保证传统民族食品的传统性，保护“稻鱼鸭共生”系统不仅为民族食品的传承和发展提供了原料的保障，也为侗族传统食品产业化打下了坚实的原料供给基础。     

《日本遗孤》读后

最近，我有幸读到辽宁作家刘国强的长篇纪实文学专著《日本遗孤》，感受非常强烈。虽然，以往也接触过一些类似题材的作品，但应该说，这本书确有它自身的特色和独具的长处，就我所获得的印象，归纳起来有以下几点：     

Depletion Effect of Work-Leisure Conflict: A Daily Diary Study

The negative effect of work-leisure conflict has attracted the attention of researchers. However, no previous research has determined the relationship between work-leisure conflict and ego depletion. Therefore, this study explores the relationship between daily work-leisure conflict and ego depletion, as well as the role of individuals’ negative emotions and core self-evaluations in this process based on ego depletion theory. Through the method of daily diary research, 77 employees were tracked for 7 consecutive work days. The results show that work-leisure conflict is positively related to employee ego depletion, that the negative emotions play a mediating role in this relationship and that core self-evaluations moderate the indirect effect of work-leisure conflict on ego depletion through negative emotions. In this study, daily diary method is used to verify the dynamic characteristics of work-leisure conflict, negative emotions and ego depletion, and some new insights into how to reduce employee ego depletion are provided.

     

THE IMPORTANCE OF LEGAL FORM OF ORGANIZATION ON SMALL CORPORATION EXTERNAL FINANCING

This article quantitatively evaluates the impact of legal form of organization (LFO) choices, C versus S corporation, on small business external financing. A treatment effect model is formulated and estimated to examine the relationship between corporate types and chances of obtaining external financing. The estimation takes into account self‐selection bias associated with LFO choices. This article finds that LFO choices mainly affect small corporations' access to external equity capital, but have no significant impact on loan financing. Specifically, when a small corporation selects the C corporate legal form, the probability of obtaining new external equity is eight times higher compared to when it selects the S corporate legal form. Furthermore, the results suggest that better access to external equity investments, loosening business capital constraints, leads to better growth prospects for small C corporations. These empirical results have important macro‐economic implications on corporate financial and fiscal policies. (JEL G32, G38)

Passion for a Leisure Activity,Presence of Meaning,and Search for Meaning: The Mediating Role of Emotion

The purpose of this research was to investigate the role of having a passion for a leisure activity on the presence of meaning and the search for meaning in college students’ lives. A path analysis of the results from 322 Chinese university students showed that positive emotions experienced during leisure activities partially mediated the relationship between harmonious passion and the presence of meaning. Negative emotion fully mediated obsessive passion and the presence of meaning as well as obsessive passion and the search for meaning. Obsessive passion was not associated with positive emotion. Implications for the dualistic model of passion, the presence of meaning, and the search for meaning in college students are discussed.     

民间传说与文献记载的关联：以巫山神女传说为例

现有文献中有关巫山神女的记载较多,三峡地区也有不少关于神女传说的版本,只是其与文献记载的神女故事情节相差甚远。民众在创作民间传说时,会根据具体的自然环境、社会伦理道德要求、自身的价值观、主流社会的需要以及文化传播等多种因素,完成传说情节的塑造。
