Why spouses depress each other: A cross‐national study to test the shared resource hypothesis in depressive symptom concordance within older adult couples

The shared resource hypothesis suggests that married couples share the same environmental resources, which shape their health concordance. This study tests its cross‐national applicability. Cross‐sectional 2012–2013 Health and Retirement Study data from China, England, Mexico, and the United States were analyzed. Heterosexual couples (age ≥60) who were married or partnered were studied (N = 20,565 pairs). Dyadic data were analyzed by multilevel models to examine the effect of self and spousal social and physical health statuses on depressive symptoms. Regression models were used to test the relationship between couples' shared resources and depressive symptom concordance. Results indicated both husbands and wives' depressive symptoms were associated with their own and spouses' social and health statuses. Most couple‐level resources were insignificant predictors for Chinese and Mexican couples' concordance, but having more social and financial resources was associated with higher concordance among British and American couples. Self‐reported health was the most consistent predictor in all countries. The shared resource hypothesis was more applicable to depressive symptom concordance within couples in the United States and England, but not in China and Mexico. Couple‐centered intervention is suggested for clinical practice, and the spousal effect should be considered in policymaking.     

The Effects of Neighborhood Variables on Needs of Social Care: A Hierarchical Multiple Regression of Senior Residents in China

Community-based elder care has become a dominant model in the world. However, the role of community-level factors in helping or hindering the individuals concerned in obtaining the needed care has not received much attention. This research aims to investigate how community-level factors, including neighborhood disadvantage, residential instability, and social service environment affect the need for instrumental, medical, and emotional services of Chinese senior residents. Employing the hierarchical multiple regression analysis, the results show that instrumental activities of daily living impairment contributed significantly to the need for instrumental, medical and emotional services. Living alone was found to be associated with the need for medical and emotional services. Objective socioeconomic status was only significantly related to the need for medical care. The type of urban community was positively associated with the need for instrumental services and was negatively related to the need for medical care. Residential instability was positively associated with of the need for instrumental services and medical care. Social service environments had heterogeneous effects on the need for social services. However, neighborhood disadvantage had no significant impact on the need for social services. Implications for future research and policy reform were also discussed.

英汉壮思维器官跨语言文化比较

思维是人类具有的共同能力之一。不同的民族运用不同的身体器官来思维和表达情感并形成自己独特的民族文化。对这些文化差异的认知,我们可以通过语言层面做具体的分析比较获得。就思维器官跨语言文化比较角度而言,英语民族倾向于用脑智"mind"(脑),汉族倾向于用心智"heart"(心),而壮族则倾向于用喉智"hoz"(throat喉咙,即用喉咙思维和表达情感)。通过跨语言文化比较,可以加深我们对文化差异及文化多样性的认识和理解,更好地进行跨文化交际活动。     

“亲亲相隐”孰之权利

“亲亲相隐”是中国古代法律制度中规定的一项义务,其对应的是被容隐的权利,当代西方法律制度中的拒绝作证权是公民的一项基本权利,其对应的是国家不得强迫公民来证明其亲属有罪的义务,两者有着本质的区别,亲亲相隐不能适用于当代法律制度。

相对主义、怀疑主义:现代西方哲学中的幽灵

在认识论、科学哲学、逻辑学、伦理学等领域,相对主义、怀疑主义取代决定论,是现代西方哲学最基本的特征之一。现代西方哲学中的相对主义、怀疑主义倾向,是对传统哲学中以黑格尔哲学为主要代表的绝对主义的反动;相对主义、怀疑主义的严重泛滥,也使得现代西方哲学内部蕴涵着否定自身的危机。     

Asymptotically optimal policy for stochastic job shop scheduling problem to minimize makespan

This paper studies the large-scale stochastic job shop scheduling problem with general number of similar jobs, where the processing times of the same step are independently drawn from a known probability distribution, and the objective is to minimize the makespan. For the stochastic problem, we introduce the fluid relaxation of its deterministic counterpart, and define a fluid schedule for the fluid relaxation. By tracking the fluid schedule, a policy is proposed for the stochastic job shop scheduling problem. The expected value of the gap between the solution produced by the policy and the optimal solution is proved to be O(1), which indicates the policy is asymptotically optimal in expectation.
