新型农村合作医疗在桓仁

“小病拖,大病挨,重病才往医院抬”“,有病及时查,住院不用怕‘,新农合’能保驾”。这是流传在本溪市桓仁县的两段顺口溜,内容截然相反,分界线划在2004年,这是该县实行新型农村合作医疗制度前后,农民就医情况的真实写照。“农民们把新型农村合作医疗制度称作为‘新农合’,这是简称,也可以算作昵称,因为它让农民‘实实在在地尝到了甜头’。”桓仁县新型农村合作医疗办公室主任曲爱家在繁忙的工作中,抽着空档儿向记者介绍。曲主任负责这里的日常管理和服务,农民转院治疗的医药费,须经他审批“,这里每天要支付出万元左右,最多时达3万余元”。记…     

论政治文明的文化选择

文化即人化,它是人类所创造的精神成果和物质成果的总和;文明是文化的结晶,是文化主体对人类文化中野蛮性、愚昧性不断扬弃的结果,是人类有目的、有选择地过滤人类文化、形成合理文化内核的过程。中国当前的政治文明建设,需要走出“精华”和“糟粕”的简单二分的误区,用外来文化中国化、传统文化现代化,来开辟中国文化发展之路。弱化暴力色彩,强化仁政效应,构建中国特色的政治文明。     

Quantile regression for large-scale data via sparse exponential transform method

In recent decades, quantile regression has received much more attention from academics and practitioners. However, most of existing computational algorithms are only effective for small or moderate size problems. They cannot solve quantile regression with large-scale data reliably and efficiently. To this end, we propose a new algorithm to implement quantile regression on large-scale data using the sparse exponential transform (SET) method. This algorithm mainly constructs a well-conditioned basis and a sampling matrix to reduce the number of observations. It then solves a quantile regression problem on this reduced matrix and obtains an approximate solution. Through simulation studies and empirical analysis of a 5% sample of the US 2000 Census data, we demonstrate efficiency of the SET-based algorithm. Numerical results indicate that our new algorithm is effective in terms of computation time and performs well for large-scale quantile regression.     

Instrumental variable based variable selection for generalized linear models with endogenous covariates

We study the variable selection problem for a class of generalized linear models with endogenous covariates. Based on the instrumental variable adjustment technology and the smooth-threshold estimating equation (SEE) method, we propose an instrumental variable based variable selection procedure. The proposed variable selection method can attenuate the effect of endogeneity in covariates, and is easy for application in practice. Some theoretical results are also derived such as the consistency of the proposed variable selection procedure and the convergence rate of the resulting estimator. Further, some simulation studies and a real data analysis are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed method, and simulation results show that the proposed method is workable.     

Policies for Recruiting Talented Professionals from the Diaspora: India and China Compared

Despite the continuous asymmetrical power relations between the Global North and South, the “global race for talent” is no longer a privilege enjoyed only by developed countries. Comparative analysis of policy content and effectiveness has attracted increasing interest. The examination of policy initiatives resulting in return migration of highly‐skilled migrants from the Global North to the Global South, however, remains inadequate. In this article, we provide a comparative analysis of policies targeting high‐level Chinese and Indian professionals including full‐time returnees. Two key differences in policy instruments and outcomes in the two countries are identified and they have implications for migration policies in other countries in the Global South and North.

从我国低碳旅游系统利益相关者界定模糊、权责不清的现状入手,结合目前国内外旅游系统利益相关者研究成果,提出低碳旅游系统相关利益者的内涵;通过对目前低碳旅游系统利益相关者关系格局的分析,提出我国低碳旅游未来发展的系统利益相关者理想模式;在理想模式的基础上,运用共时参与模型和差序参与模型对低碳旅游系统具有代表性的四大相关利益者进行博弈分析,提出基于各利益相关者视角的低碳旅游行为模式,使低碳旅游走向协作发展的道路.     

孙科与抗日战争

在抗日战争时期,孙科主张坚决抗日,反对投降。他呼吁国共合作抗日,四度入苏求援。他还关注农村与民生,为战时经济建设献计献策,研究与前瞻战时战后世界关系与中国前途,并提出了清算日本帝国主义的主张。尽管孙科在政治上的妥协性多变性以及其旨在维护国民党统治,但从历史发展的[光和客观上看,孙科在抗日战争期间的思想和政治活动基本上符合爱国、民主、自由的方向,顺应世界之大潮,为抗日战争的胜利作出了不可忽视的重要历史贡献。     

东晋南朝医学知识的新发展:以医家、病者为中心的研究

本文以医家、病者为中心,结合医籍的相关叙述,来探讨东晋南朝医学知识的新发展。文中分析指出,此时期医家与病者多数都是出自社会地位较高的士大夫阶层。作为病者,他们世代内部通婚,过度优逸,嗜好饮酒,易受精神刺激,早婚多妾侍,多种因素导致了体貌柔弱,不堪劳作。显现于医学典籍,则是许多医方以体质偏虚之人为预设目标。而又作为医家的他们,传习家学,博通医术,或由信仰之故,兼修岐黄,这促使医界病源学理盛行以及佛道知识常被引入医书。综合诸历史迹象,作者认为东晋南朝医学知识有显著的贵胜特点。     

关于渭河流域实施排污权交易制度的立法建议

从相关立法看,对渭河流域水污染的治理主要采取了传统的行政方式。为提高渭河水污染治理效率,促进陕西经济社会的可持续发展,有必要借鉴美国和我国上海、江苏等地比较成熟的做法,采用市场的方法即排污权交易来治理渭河流域水污染,这有利于促进企业技术革新,降低整个社会的治理成本,比单纯的行政方法更为迅速和有效。因此,应进行地方立法,规定可交易污染物的范围、排污权的初始分配方式、交易的程序等,以规范排污权交易市场;同时,确定渭河的环境容量总量以确定可供分配的指标,构建信息平台以降低交易费用及保障公民的知情权。
