Examining the relationship between global and domain measures of quality of life by three factor structure models

This study examined the relationship between global and domain measures of quality of life from a psychometric perspective by three different factor structure models. Three hundred and four students at National Taiwan University participated in this study. They completed the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS, a global measurement for quality of life) and the WHOQOL-BREF (a domain-specific measurement for quality of life). Three models were specified to examine the relationships among scores of the SWLS and the WHOQOL-BREF. The first model was a common factor model in which scores of the SWLS and the WHOQOL-BREF were all influenced by a single factor. The second model was a correlated two-factor model in which scores of the SWLS were influenced by one factor and scores of the WHOQOL-BREF influenced by another factor, with these two factors being allowed to be correlated. The third model was a three-factor model, in which one factor (representing quality of life) influenced the scores of the SWLS and the WHOQOL-BREF, another factor (representing global approach) only influenced the scores of the SWLS, and yet another factor (representing domain approach) only influenced the scores of the WHOQOL-BREF. The results showed that the third model was the best, suggesting that global measures (the SWLS) and domain measures (the WHOQOL-BREF) did assess the same construct on quality of life, however, the measurement approaches they adopted (global or domain approach) also have substantial impact on the meaning of scores.

Recent Immigration to Canada and the United States: A Mixed Tale of Relative Selection

Using large‐scale census data and adjusting for sending‐country fixed effect to account for changing composition of immigrants, we study relative immigrant selection to Canada and the U.S. during 1990–2006, a period characterized by diverging immigration policies in the two countries. Results show a gradual change in selection patterns in educational attainment and host‐country language proficiency in favor of Canada as its post‐1990 immigration policy allocated more points to the human capital of new entrants. Specifically, in 1990, new immigrants in Canada were less likely to have a B.A. degree than those in the U.S.; they were also less likely to have a highschool or lower education. By 2006, Canada surpassed the U.S. in drawing highly educated immigrants, while continuing to attract fewer low‐educated immigrants. Canada also improved its edge over the U.S. in terms of host‐country language proficiency of new immigrants. Entry‐level earnings, however, do not reflect the same trend: Recent immigrants to Canada have experienced a wage disadvantage compared to recent immigrants to the U.S., as well as Canadian natives. One plausible explanation is that while the Canadian points system has successfully attracted more educated immigrants, it may not be effective in capturing productivity‐related traits that are not easily measurable.     

残疾人就业影响因素的实证研究——基于安徽的调查

基于2013年安徽省残疾人的问卷调查数据,运用Logistic回归模型,从个体特征因素、残疾人就业政策和相关认知因素等方面分析残疾人就业的影响因素.研究结果发现,年龄、受教育年限、生活自理情况、劳动能力情况等个体特征因素对残疾人就业具有正向显著性影响;享有就业扶助政策情况、对就业保障金了解度以及对残疾人就业工作的满意度等反映残疾人对残疾人工作认知的指标对就业也具有显著性影响.因此,进一步健全残疾人就业保障政策体系、加强残疾人教育与培训工作、贯彻落实残疾人就业服务政策以及加强残疾人便利服务设施建设等,以促进残疾人就业.

Self‐Perceived Competence in Mainland China: A Multiwave Longitudinal Examination of Internalizing Symptoms in Chinese Adolescents

The present 9‐wave, 2‐year study examined whether Cole's (1991) theory of self‐perceived competence could help explain vulnerability to depressive and anxiety symptoms in a sample of adolescents from mainland China. Participants included 624 adolescents (319 females and 305 males) from an urban school in Changsha (n = 308) and from a rural school in Liuyang (n = 316). Findings showed that self‐perceived academic competence was negatively associated with prospective depressive and anxiety symptoms. Meanwhile, adolescents with low levels of self‐perceived social competence were at heightened risk for depressive symptoms during times of increased stressors (supporting a vulnerability‐stress model). These findings advance past research by highlighting new developmental pathways for depressive and anxiety symptoms in Chinese adolescents.     

Positioning Inventory in Clinical Trial Supply Chains

As a result of slow patient recruitment and high patient costs in the United States, clinical trials are increasingly going global. While recruitment efforts benefit from a larger global footprint, the supply chain has to work harder at getting the right drug supply to the right place at the right time. Certain clinical trial supply chains, especially those supplying biologics, have a combination of unique attributes that have yet to be addressed by existing supply chain models. These attributes include a fixed patient horizon, an inflexible supply process, a unique set of service‐level requirements, and an inability to transfer drug supplies among testing sites. We provide a new class of multi‐echelon inventory models to address these unique aspects. The resulting mathematical program is a nonlinear integer programming problem with chance constraints. Despite this complexity, we develop a solution method that transforms the original formulation into a linear integer equivalent. By analyzing special cases and through numerical study of both real‐life and simulated examples, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the solution and develop insights into inventory positioning and the cost drivers in clinical trial supply chains.     

管理与评价研究评述

社会科学科研管理研究,主要是两个方面的内容:管理理论和评价。上世纪80年代中期之前,以管理理论研究为主,90年代之后评价研究比较集中。整个研究概况是:1.学术界的研究与讨论,包括学者个人研究,立项研究,学术会议研讨,报刊专题讨论;2.管理部门的工作和制度建设;3.有关领导机关出台相关政策。多年的学术不正之风经各方纠正,逐步好转。但距优化的学风还有很大的距离,有待学术界、管理部门、有关领导机关进一步解决。     

从教师教育专业化看教师教育学院院长素质

教师职业具有专业化的一切特征,教师专业化呼唤教师教育专业化。教师专业化已经成为一种强劲的思潮,极大地推动了许多发达国家教师教育新理念和新制度的建立。国际教师教育专业化潮流在催生我国教师教育学院的同时,也迫使其依据教师教育专业化要求实施改革与转型。在教师教育改革方面,担任主要角色的教师教育学院院长已经面临来自内外部的压力,为了应对这些变化,院长必须在教师教育的规划、实施和教育服务方面承担起主要的领导责任,以迎接教师教育专业化的挑战。     

“何其”之“其”是否“无义”？

本文就《词诠》、《汉语大字典》、《汉语大词典》等书对“何其”之“其”的解释提出商榷。通过对“何其”进行历时的考察,认为这里的“其”是指示代词,意义为“那样”、“那么”。
