Inference for the measurement of poverty in the presence of a stochastic weighting variable

Empirical applications of poverty measurement often have to deal with a stochastic weighting variable such as household size. Within the framework of a bivariate distribution function defined over income and weight, I derive the limiting distributions of the decomposable poverty measures and of the ordinates of stochastic dominance curves. The poverty line is allowed to depend on the income distribution. It is shown how the results can be used to test hypotheses concerning changes in poverty. The inference procedures are briefly illustrated using Belgian data. An erratum to this article can be found at     

Randomized response techniques for complex survey designs

Singh et al. ([13]) pointed out that the Randomized response (RR) technique proposed by Moors ([9]) is not desirable because it fails to protect the confidentiality of the respondents and they provided two alternative strategies free from the above drawback but limited to SRSWOR sampling only. In this paper, generalization of one of the strategies is provided for complex survey designs, wider class of estimators and for quantitative characteristics. Relative efficiency of the modified strategy is tested through empirical investigations. An erratum to this article is available at .     

俄罗斯东正教的社会整合与道德教化作用研究

俄罗斯是一个有着深刻宗教情结的民族.东正教作为文化现象和意识形态,深深根植于俄罗斯民众的意识里,浓浓地融入俄罗斯民族的精神中,深刻地影响着俄国的历史与现实.为实现国家统一并加强皇权,以君权神授为宗旨的基督教作为最有力的思想武器被罗斯统治者"请入"罗斯.至此,无论是在鞑靼蒙古人入侵时期,还是在第一、二次卫国战争等俄苏历史的紧要关头,俄罗斯东正教均发挥了其社会整合与道德教化作用,并在促进国家统一、弘扬爱国主义传统、凝聚民族精神、规范民众道德和维护社会稳定等方面做出了积极而重要的历史贡献.     

对我国高校推进双语教学模式的思考

总体上看,全国各地高校在双语教学模式试点及具体实践中取得了显著的成绩,双语教学模式推广前景良好。但是,应该看到在推进双语教学模式的实践过程中,也出现了一些需要我们认真分析和思考的问题,本文首先针对我国高校双语教学模式的现状及发展特征展开分析,进而提出了相应的对策思考。     

Quadratic estimators of covariance components in a multivariate mixed linear model

It is known that the Henderson Method III (Biometrics 9:226–252, 1953) is of special interest for the mixed linear models because the estimators of the variance components are unaffected by the parameters of the fixed factor (or factors). This article deals with generalizations and minor extensions of the results obtained for the univariate linear models. A MANOVA mixed model is presented in a convenient form and the covariance components estimators are given on finite dimensional linear spaces. The results use both the usual parametric representations and the coordinate-free approach of Kruskal (Ann Math Statist 39:70–75, 1968) and Eaton (Ann Math Statist 41:528–538, 1970). The normal equations are generalized and it is given a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of quadratic unbiased estimators for covariance components in the considered model.

Wer das Stabilisieren vergisst: Warum eine schöne Abschlusspräsentation noch kein gutes Ende bedeutet

Many organizational change projects fail — despite a well thought out concept, professional project management and a binding implementation timetable. The reason why the expected success doesn’t materialize often lies with the missing maintenance. Once the project is officially completed and the client and project manager withdraw, the manner in which the organization will take up these changes is seldom systematically dealt with. Difficulties often arise when no discrete stabilizing measures are planned. We have derived four central action areas which will be clarified by way of practical examples. It will also be shown what is important to pay attention to in the stabilization phase so that a lasting success of the organizational change project can be ensured.
