Social investment,social service and the economic performance of welfare states

This article begins with an examination of the role of social services as the key instrument of social investment strategy, presenting an empirical analysis of its impact on economic performance. A pooled time series, cross‐section analysis was conducted with the data of 15 welfare states from 1990 to 2007 under the ‘social investment hypothesis’ that more social service orientedness brings about a greater positive effect on the economy. The results show that a larger share of social service spending in the total social expenditure – more social service orientedness – contributes to economic growth and labour market performance, whereas a larger aggregate size of the welfare state may have a negative effect on employment. In conclusion, this study suggests that the relatively ambiguous welfare strategy of social investment could be clarified as a ‘transition from income security to livelihood security’ in which emphasis is placed on social service. Key Practitioner Message: ● This study suggests that the key instrument of social investment strategy is social service; ● The results show that more social service orientedness contributes to economic growth and labour market performance.     

在国际A类刊物发表文章的10条建议——以市场营销刊物为例

1 引言 在国外研究型的综合大学,若想在市场营销系成为终身教授,在国际A类刊物发表文章是必需的条件。在市场营销领域被普遍认定为国际A类的期刊包括Journal of Marketing、Journal of Consumer Research、Journal of Marketing Research、Journal of Consumer Psychology、Marketing Science、International Journal of Research in Marketing,这些刊物的总体特点是拒稿率极高,往往会达到76％以上,比如Joumal of Consumer Research(JCR)在对投稿人的公开信息里就指出刊物的拒稿率在90%以上.

Fuzzy LINMAP approach to heterogeneous MADM considering comparisons of alternatives with hesitation degrees

Multiattribute decision making (MADM) with multiple formats of information, which is called heterogeneous MADM for short, is very complex and interesting in applications. The purpose of this paper is to extend the Linear Programming Technique for Multidimensional Analysis of Preference (LINMAP) for solving heterogeneous MADM problems which involve intuitionistic fuzzy (IF) sets (IFSs), trapezoidal fuzzy numbers (TrFNs), intervals and real numbers. In this method, DM's preference is given through pair-wise comparisons of alternatives with hesitation degrees which are represented as IFSs. The IF consistency and inconsistency indices are defined on the basis of pair-wise comparisons of alternatives. Each alternative is assessed on the basis of its distance to a fuzzy ideal solution (FIS) unknown a priori. Based on the defined IF consistency and inconsistency indices, we construct a new fuzzy mathematical programming model, which is solved by the developed method of fuzzy mathematical programming with IFSs. Once the FIS and the attribute weights are obtained, we can calculate the distances of all alternatives to the FIS, which are used to determine the ranking order of the alternatives. A supplier selection example is presented to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the proposed method.     

怀疑主义哲学的政治意蕴

哲学中的理性主义被认为是造成现代极权主义政治的主要因素之一,哲学中的怀疑主义则自始就构成对理性主义的质疑和解构。与理性主义哲学的政治构想所呈现出的过于乐观、自信的情绪和志向不同,怀疑主义哲学则用一种相对悲观、谨慎的眼光打量人及其生活世界,洞察到人自身的幽暗本性、理性有限的缺陷以及生存多元的事实等,促使人类对自身及其生活的可能和局限具有更加清醒、真确的认识和理解。怀疑主义哲学因而包含了深刻的政治意蕴:对于任何试图依凭政治的方式创设所谓“完美至善”的人类生活世界的志向应抱有足够的警惕和审慎|在政治领域,人类适度而节制地表现自己作为人的能力实为一种明智之举。

培育践行社会主义核心价值观的人本向度

社会主义核心价值观具有深刻的价值哲学意蕴.社会主义核心价值观在社会主义价值体系中居统领地位、起支配和指导作用,它从最深层次科学回答了“什么是社会主义”这一核心问题.社会主义核心价值观也是关于现实的人的价值观.培育践行社会主义核心价值观的最高价值取向和终极目标是为了促进和实现人的自由全面发展.在当代中国,需要从中国特色社会主义实践出发,坚持人民主体地位,切实维护人民利益,采取多种措施扎实有效地推进社会主义核心价值观的培育和践行.     

政治民主化之于政治可持续发展

从现阶段的中国来看,社会可持续发展已成为重要发展的理念与发展基本要求,而政治可持续发展则是社会可持续发展的前提。唯有实现政治可持续发展,方可为社会整体可持续发展保驾护航。政治民主化作为政治可持续发展的内在灵魂和基本原则,其内容的有效实施,为政治可持续发展打造了坚实的基础。政治民主化对政治可持续发展的意义在于:从根本上遏制公权私用的现象;促进社会的整合;增强公民的主人翁意识;提升中国的国际形象,奠定中国在国际社会的政治地位。
