城市少数民族流动人口现状调查——以长株潭两型社会试验区为例

随着现代社会城市化进程的加快,城市少数民族流动人口在不断增加,即给城市发展带来了活力,有助于构建多元城市文化和实现民族团结与共同繁荣,同时,也为城市管理带来了困难,如何管理城市少数民族流动人口已成为城市民族工作面临的新课题。本次调查以长株潭地区少数民族流动人口作为研究个案,采取定性分析和定量分析的方法,对区域内少数民族流动人口的基本状况和所产生的影响进行了深入分析,指出了城市少数民族流动人口服务管理工作中存在的困难和问题,最后提出了完善城市少数民族流动人口服务管理工作的对策与建议。     

Effects of Social Network on Human Capital of Land-Lost Farmers: A Study in Zhejiang Province

The International Wellbeing Index covers two complementary measures, the Personal Wellbeing Index (PWI) and the National Wellbeing Index (NWI). The focus group study reported here tested the understanding of the NWI when translated into isiXhosa, a language spoken by 6 million South Africans, or 16% of the country’s population. A challenge for the NWI in measuring national well-being is the tendency for meaning to get ‘lost in translation’ in the wording of the instrument, owing to the disparities that exist between levels of living in developed and developing nations. The focussed discussions with native isiXhosa speakers conveyed the different shades of meaning associated with the six domains that make up the NWI. The isiXhosa keywords for the domains of social conditions, the natural environment, national security, and management of the country’s affairs (government) were readily understood, but discussants asked for further clarification of keywords for the domains relating to the economy and business. Conversations showed up the close link between personal and national well-being: discussants drew upon their personal and parochial life experiences along with their knowledge of current affairs to evaluate the nation’s quality of life. They described the social contract between citizens and their government to create a ‘caring society’ that promotes well-being across key domains of national life. Many of the reference standards used to evaluate national well-being were ones postulated to influence personal well-being (Michalos A.C, Social Indicators Research 16(4): 347–413 1985 ). The study also pointed to a potential problem for longitudinal studies if the bipolar satisfaction scale, formerly used to measure the International Wellbeing Index’s PWI and NWI, is changed to a unipolar one. Findings from this pilot study confirm the potential of the NWI as a tool for measuring national well-being cross-culturally.

A novel regularization method for estimation and variable selection in multi-index models

Multi-index models have attracted much attention recently as an approach to circumvent the curse of dimensionality when modeling high-dimensional data. This paper proposes a novel regularization method, called MAVE-glasso, for simultaneous parameter estimation and variable selection in multi-index models. The advantages of the proposed method include transformation invariance, automatic variable selection, automatic removal of noninformative observations, and row-wise shrinkage. An efficient row-wise coordinate descent algorithm is proposed to calculate the estimates. Simulation and real examples are used to demonstrate the excellent performance of MAVE-glasso.     

The Key to Precise Poverty Alleviation Rests in the Precise Indentification of Impoverished Populations—An Analysis of the Targeting Effectiveness of China’s Rural Dibao Program

The success of the poverty elimination program, as an important element in the strategy of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects by 2020, depends on the accurate identification of the population living in poverty. An analysis of 2013 data from the China Household Income Project (CHIP 2013) shows that in terms of the income-based poverty line, the targeting of the current rural minimum living standard guarantee or subsistence allowance program (dibao) program is very imprecise; it improves with the use of multidimensional poverty criteria, but coverage remains poor. In order to unify the criteria for the rural poverty alleviation (fupin) criteria and the dibao criteria, a uniform set of national criteria should be established. This should shift from income as the sole criterion to multidimensional criteria, so that a uniform scheme can be developed to identify those in need. At the same time, the coverage of the dibao program should be extended and the transfer amounts increased, so that the scheme genuinely covers all of the target population in rural China.     

我国改革开创期腐败发生源的政治生态学分析

1978～1992年改革开创期党的权力运行中之所以出现腐败现象,从政治生态学维度看在于权力运行的内外生态环境发生了变迁,相应地滋生了诸多特殊化劣变生态因子.在内环境上体现为“文革”中所形成的“病变化”权力运行体系的“遗毒”影响,复归的传统权力运行体系本身所具有的弊端,以及复归的权力运行体系在与环境变迁不同步调适中所形成的不成熟部分和不完善环节等.这些特殊化劣变生态因子导致了改革新条件下反腐败形势及其任务的艰巨复杂性.     

我国人口态势与消费模式对碳排放的影响分析

本文应用STIRPAT扩展模型,考察近30年来我国人口规模、人口结构、居民消费及技术进步因素对碳排放的影响。研究发现,居民消费与人口结构变化对我国碳排放的影响已超过人口规模的单一影响力。居民消费水平提高与碳排放增长高度相关,居民消费模式变化正在成为我国碳排放的新的增长点;人口结构因素中,人口城镇化率的提高通过对化石能源消费、水泥制造及土地利用变化等的影响导致碳排放增长;人口年龄结构变化对生产的影响大于对消费的影响,其对碳排放影响的主要途径是生产领域劳动力的丰富供应;家庭户规模减小导致人均消费支出的增加及总户数消费规模的扩张,以家庭户为分析单位考察其对碳排放的影响具有较高的解释力。针对分析结果,探讨了未来我国低碳社会发展的相关应对之策。     

欠发达地区农村公共服务满意度及其影响因素分析——基于西北五省1478户农户的调查

文章根据西北五省的40个县(市)实地调研数据,采用因子分析法和二元离散选择模型,对农村公共服务满意度及其影响因素进行了实证研究。结果表明,农民满意度的影响主要来自道路、基础教育、医疗、农田水利设施、饮水设施、公共服务供给农民参与情况、农民对村委会的评价、农民对政府的评价等;农民对农村公共卫生、农村文化娱乐、农业科技推广与培训、农村清洁能源的满意度较低;农民满意度基本上不受被调查者性别、文化程度、家庭成员数等变量的影响;农民对农村公共服务的需求具有一定的层次性和阶段性,而农民满意度根据其需求状况具有一定的次序性。
