对知音故事的文化再阐释

知音文化是湖北文化的重要内容之一,具有丰富的内涵和情感力量。然而,历来对于知音文化的理解一直停留在知音故事层面,未能进一步深入。事实上,知音文化与楚地的风俗民情以及道家自然哲学之间具有深刻的渊源关系。时至今日,知音文化仍具有鲜明的现实意义与普世价值。     

社区卫生服务发展困境及其破解——集体行动理论的视角

城市社区卫生服务面临着“叫好不叫座”的发展困境。笔者借用集体行动逻辑对此作出合理解释,并从政治、经济、社会等不同角度讨论分析走出集体行动困境的相关理论对策。以此为基础,本文进一步探索有助于破解我国社区卫生服务发展困境的若干举措,如加强社区卫生机构内涵建设、完善社区卫生服务政策形成机制、借力社区社会资本培育等。     

科学发展观理论体系研究

科学发展观是关于发展的科学理论,是中国特色社会主义理论体系的最新成果.科学发展观作为科学理论体系是建立在马克思辨证唯物主义和历史唯物主义世界观立论基石之上的,是围绕着"实现什么样的发展、怎样发展"这一主题展开的,它的全部思想观点都是经过实践检验并在实践中修正、补充、发展的科学体系.科学发展观是一个科学的理论体系,它包括理论轮廓、框架结构和主要观点等丰富内容.     

Development of Vocal Protests From 3 to 18 Months

Infants often protest the activities of their caregivers, and this particular social interaction may provide an important window on early communication and its development. This study used naturalistic methods to investigate the development of vocal protests. Fifteen mother‐infant dyads at each of 5 ages, from 3 to 18 months, were observed at home. Maternal behaviors of caregiving and prohibiting were tallied from videotapes, as were infants' protests of these behaviors. Maternal caregiving decreased with age, but maternal prohibitions increased. There were no changes over age in the probability of protesting maternal caregiving behavior; however, 12‐month‐olds were more likely to protest prohibitions than 6‐ or 8‐month‐olds. Older infants were also more likely to use intense protests, such as screams, than younger infants. These age‐related changes were mirrored by the differences in prohibitions and protests observed between 8‐month‐olds who could crawl and those who could not. Findings from this study were related to previous research on infant crying as an important part of the prelinguistic communication system.     

劳动力异质、流动方向与城乡差距悖论

城乡差距悖论指的是我国城乡居民的收入并没有随城乡劳动力的流动而缩小。传统的文献对于城乡之间劳动力流动行为及其意义关注很多,然而对于城乡之间劳动力的异质性和流动方向及其所附带的经济意义却关注过少。通过对城乡劳动力流动缩小城乡差距的作用渠道进行研究和分析,并构建数理模型将城乡劳动力的异质性和流动方向的经济意义进行研究和数值模拟,最后得出在考虑城乡劳动力异质性的情况下,城乡之间劳动力的流动方向对完全消除城乡差距具有重要意义,并根据结论提出相关建议。     

2013年西方马克思主义研究述评

坚持和发展马克思主义,必须重视加强对西方马克思主义的研究。2013年学界对西方马克思主义的研究主要集中在人物、流派、问题等个案研究方面,研究水平参差不齐,总体研究和比较研究偏少,研究方法也不丰富。为此,应从不同的视角开展对西方马克思主义的研究,为马克思主义基本理论的研究提供依据和支持,从而维护和发展马克思主义。     

梁启超群治文学观初探

梁启超是中国近代文化转型过程中最具代表性的人物。20世纪初期,梁启超引进西方文化观念,首倡近代多种文体的革新,提出了著名的"群治社会构想",反映在文学思想上主要包括四个方面,即聚合现代民族精神,展示历史进化趋势,"言文一致"语体风格和构建市民文化空间。梁启超"群治"文学观的提出及其有益实践对启蒙国人思想、推进中国文学发展和社会进步,都具有重要意义。     

与能源消耗等指标发生偏离的GDP是否可信

本文选取了1995-2014年全国30个省市数据,综合使用了向量自回归模型、参数面板模型、非参数面板模型和面板门限模型对GDP增速与电力消费增速、第二产业增速、第三产业增速、财政收入增速、货物流转增速、能源消费增速和固定资产投资增速等物理性指标间的关系进行了建模.实证研究发现,GDP增速、电力消费增速、第三产业增速、能源消费增速之间存在作用机制,但是这种影响模式并非一成不变,在不同时间段内,其模式发生改变,同时,这一影响模式也随着人均GDP的变化而发生阶段性改变.在经济新常态下,不能因为经济转型中的GDP数据与物理指数之间发生偏离,而简单否定GDP的准确性.     

Fast robust feature screening for ultrahigh-dimensional varying coefficient models

In this paper, we propose a new partial correlation, the so-called composite quantile partial correlation, to measure the relationship of two variables given other variables. We further use this correlation to screen variables in ultrahigh-dimensional varying coefficient models. Our proposed method is fast and robust against outliers and can be efficiently employed in both single index variable and multiple index variable varying coefficient models. Numerical results indicate the preference of our proposed method.     

Business Cycles,Medicaid Generosity,and Birth Outcomes

Birth outcomes influence many aspects of later life health and wellbeing, making healthcare access during pregnancy a policy priority. Low-income mothers often depend on Medicaid, for which eligibility is determined by their income relative to state eligibility thresholds. The prevalence of adverse birth outcomes is known to exhibit cyclical variation, due in part to changes in the composition of women giving birth in response to changing economic conditions. However, cyclical variation in adverse birth outcomes also varies with respect to Medicaid eligibility thresholds. Our analysis uses birth-records data for 2000 through 2013, aggregated into 173,936 county-by-quarter observations and linked to county-level unemployment rates and state-level parental Medicaid thresholds. Using fixed-effects negative binomial models, we examine the role of Medicaid generosity in influencing birth outcomes across business cycles. We test for interactions between Medicaid and unemployment, hypothesizing that the negative effects of recessions are worse where Medicaid thresholds are more restrictive. We find that higher Medicaid generosity dampens the negative effects of recessions on birth outcomes. The extent to which Medicaid interacts with unemployment also varies according to the age and race composition of mothers; in particular, Black mothers are both most affected by unemployment and most responsive to Medicaid generosity. Given current concerns about racial gaps in both infant and maternal mortality, our findings suggest that Medicaid may be an important feature of a strategy to close gaps in the prevalence of adverse birth outcomes across racial groups, especially during bust years.
