“此在”——海德格尔生存与思想的合一

海德格尔关于人的思想集中于他的范畴“此在”中。“此在”不是灵魂、精神和人格式的主体,也不是“意志”、“强力”等生命体。“此在”首先意味着生存,人通过生存,表明他存在;其次意味着“现象”或思想,通过思想显示或思念着而存在。最重要的是他的生存和思想是同一的过程,没有生存,“此在”无法存在;没有思想,生存无法得到显现,存在处于黑暗之中,无法得到澄明,而存在的澄明是海德格尔的真理。     

关于英汉隐喻文化的认知

比喻在各种语言中包含了大量的文化信息。本文从认知科学和语言文化学的角度通过荚汉隐喻的对比,研究其中的文化重合与文化特有形象,分析英汉隐喻反映的文化认知,如中英两族人的物质条件、生活方式、风俗习惯和思维方式等,探讨在国际交往日益频繁的大背景下加强文化教育,促进文化交流的时代意义。     

Optimal Multiple Constant-Stress Accelerated Life Tests for Generalized Exponential Distribution

Recently generalized exponential distribution has been discussed by many authors. In this article, we study the optimal constant-stress accelerated life tests with complete sample for the generalized exponential distribution. The problem of choosing the optimal proportions of test units allocated to each stress level is addressed by using V-optimality as well as D-optimality criteria. Some interesting conclusions are obtained. Finally, real data example and numerical examples have been analyzed to illustrate the proposed procedures.     

Urban E-Government Initiatives and Environmental Decision Performance in Korea

Although e-government initiatives have been credited as enginesof government reform, empirical evidence is insufficient todetermine their effects on public sector performance. To explorethe impact of e-government on local governance, this articleexamines how e-government initiatives influence the perceivedperformance of environmental decision making in an urban contextand what organizational and contextual factors affect Web-aideddecision performance. Data were collected from the content analysisof city government Web sites and a nationwide survey of cityofficials in Korea. Findings from path analysis show that (1)information technology leadership of senior management and Website quality are key to decision intelligence, quality, andspeed and (2) e-government Web divide, a gap in the capabilityof city Web sites to support public service delivery and democraticinteraction, translates into disparities in environmental decisionperformance across cities. Additionally, environmental activismis a significant factor shaping the impact of e-government onenvironmental decision making. E-government initiatives contributeto local governance performance, but their impacts vary, dependingon Web site quality and the entrepreneurial leadership of publicmanagers.     

Some Statistical Methods in Assessing Linear Relational Agreement: An Empirical Comparative Study

Although multiple indices were introduced in the area of agreement measurements, the only documented index for linear relational agreement, which is for interval scale data, is the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient. Despite its meaningfulness, the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient does not convey the practical information such as what proportion of observations is within a certain boundary of the target value. To address this need, based on the inverse regression, we proposed the adjusted mean squared deviation (AMSD), adjusted coverage probability (ACP), and adjusted total deviation index (ATDI) for the measurement of the relational agreement. They can serve as reasonable and practically meaningful measurements for relational agreement. Real life data are considered to illustrate the performance of the methods.     

晚清重庆民族火柴工业的兴起、发展

1891年，重庆开办森昌火柴厂，是为巴蜀地区第一家民族资本企业。创办之初，重庆地区的火柴企业曾拥有政府授予的特许经营权达25年。随着外商资本力量的介入，这一格局发生了变化，催生了挂外商牌的火柴企业。重庆本土火柴企业的产品多为土火柴，与国外火柴相比，制作技术相对落后。尽管如此，重庆地区的民族火柴业在这种环境下逐渐兴起，并发展成为中国火柴业早期的中心之一。     

On Modelling Agreement and Category Distinguishability on an Ordinal Scale

It is quite common that raters may need to classify a sample of subjects on a categorical scale. Perfect agreement can rarely be observed partly because of different perceptions about the meanings of the category labels between raters and partly because of factors such as intrarater variability. Usually, category indistinguishability occurs between adjacent categories. In this article, we propose a simple log-linear model combining ordinal scale information and category distinguishability between ordinal categories for modelling agreement between two raters. For the proposed model, no score assignment is required to the ordinal categories. An algorithm and statistical properties will be provided.     

A study of the impact of environmental surroundings on personal well-being in urban China using a multi-item well-being indicator

We examine the relationship between atmospheric and water pollution, traffic congestion, access to parkland and personal well-being using a survey administered across six Chinese cities in 2007. In contrast to existing studies of well-being determinants by economists which typically employ single-item indicators, we use the Personal Well-being Index (PWI). We also employ the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) to measure job satisfaction, which is one of the variables for which we control when examining the relationship between environmental surroundings and personal well-being. Previous research by psychologists has shown the PWI and JSS to have good psychometric properties in western and Chinese samples. A robust finding is that in cities with higher levels of atmospheric pollution and traffic congestion, respondents report lower levels of personal well-being ceteris paribus. Specifically, we find that a one standard deviation increase in suspended particles or sulphur dioxide emissions is roughly equivalent to a 12–13% reduction in average monthly income in the six cities.     

Optimal step-stress test under Type-I censoring for multivariate exponential distribution

In this paper, we study a k-step-stress accelerated life test under Type-I censoring. The lifetime of the items follows the multivariate exponential distribution and a cumulative exposure model is considered. We derive the maximum likelihood estimators of the model parameters and establish the asymptotic properties of them. The problem of choosing the optimal time is addressed by using V-optimality as well as D-optimality criteria. Finally, some numerical studies are discussed to illustrate the proposed procedures.
