Father–Daughter Incest: Data from an Anonymous Computerized Survey

Retrospective data were entered anonymously by 1,521 adult women using computer-assisted self-interview. Nineteen were classified as victims of father–daughter incest, and 241 were classified as victims of sexual abuse by an adult other than their father before reaching 18 years of age. The remaining 1,261 served as controls. Incest victims were more likely than controls to endorse feeling damaged, psychologically injured, estranged from one or both parents, and shamed by others when they tried to open up about their experience. They had been eroticized early on by the incest experience, and it interfered with their adult sexuality. Incest victims experienced coitus earlier than controls and after reaching age 18 had more sex partners and were more likely to have casual sex outside their primary relationship and engage in sex for money than controls. They also had worse scores on scales measuring depression, sexual satisfaction, and communication about sex than controls.     

Developing a supplier selection system through integrating fuzzy AHP and fuzzy DEA: a case study on an auto lighting system company in Taiwan

Supplier selection plays a very important role in supply chain management. This study intends to develop a novel performance evaluation method, which integrates both fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method and fuzzy data envelopment analysis (DEA) for assisting organisations to make the supplier selection decision. Fuzzy AHP method is first applied to find the indicators’ weights through expert questionnaire survey. Then, these weights are integrated with fuzzy DEA. We use α -cut set and extension principle of fuzzy set theory to simplify the fuzzy DEA as a pair of traditional DEA model. Finally, fuzzy ranking using maximising and minimising set method is able to rank the evaluation samples. A case study on an internationally well-known auto lighting OEM company shows that the proposed method is very suitable for practical applications.     

The dilemma of prostitution in Taiwan and Thailand from an NHRD perspective

Throughout the world, prostitution creates a societal dilemma; Taiwan and Thailand are especially affected by the prevalence of such sex workers. While much has been written about prostitution, it has seldom been addressed from a national HRD (NHRD) perspective. This paper addresses reasons why prostitution is so prevalent; the extent of prostitution in these two countries; past NHRD efforts in this arena; and recommendations for NHRD policy, practice and future research.     

Robustness of the two-sample t-test umdeh violations of the homogeneity of farjance assumptioi

When the two-sample t-test has equal sample slies, it is widely considered to be a robust procedure (with respect to the significaoce level) under violatioa of the assuaptioo of equal variances. This paper is coa-earned with a quantification of the amount of robustness which this procedure has under such violations, The approach is through the concept of "religion of robustness" and the resluts show an extremely strong degree of robustness for the equal an extremely strong degree of robustness for the equal sample size t-test, probably more so than most statistyicians realise. This extremely high level of robustness, however, reduces quickly as the sample sizes begin to vary from equality. The regions of robustnes obtained show that while most users would likely be satisfied with the degree of robustness inherent when the two sample sizes each vary by 10% from equality, most would wish to be much more cautions when the variation is 20%. The study covers sample sizes n₁ -= n ² = 5(5)30(10)50 plus 10% and 20% variations thereof for the two-tailed test and nominal significance levels of 0.01 and 0.05.     

“党格”：内涵与价值、问题与对策

“党格”是由政党内在结构决定的,是政党文化一心理体系中最稳定、最深刺、最持久和最具决定性意义部分的凝结和外溢．以及在此基础上产生的伦理感和美感。这一概念具有巨大的包客性与伦理色彩,在理论上以之为牵引必然有助于我们党进一步淡化阶级论争,形成新的论述;在现实中则有助于中国社会伦理和道德秩序的重建。推进中国共产党“党格”建设,是一项复杂的系统工程,必须清除长期残存于党内的官本位思想、集权倾向、民粹情结和封闭心理,不断加强党的开放性、民主化、法治化和社会化建设。     

中国现代性重估：传媒视野的现代性价值

现代性长期作为带有西方中心主义色彩的理想,左右着世界社会与文化的发展。中国现代性就其对人类发展的终极目标来说,较之西方现代性更具“现代”性。在认识当代中国传媒问题时,必须将中国现代性的复兴及传播置于重要位置,使之被“他者”认知、接受,成为人类发展路向的一种选择。     

大众传媒与宗法社会

在中国现代化进程中,报刊、电影和电视等大众传媒加速了对宗法社会的颠覆。那个受到普遍质疑的宗法,应该重新获得一种被观照的视角。天人合一的观念、重视血缘亲情的伦理、稳定的社会结构等,都需要大众媒介给予新的形象塑造,需要在全球文化的洪流中时刻保持一种本土化意识。     

THE NEW BREAK-POINT METHOD OF IDENTIFYING A COST ORIENTED MARKET BOUNDARY

Traditional methods of identifying cost-oriented market boundaries have three fundamental deficiencies. They assume transportation charges are proportional to distance. Second, where non-proportional cost-distance relationships are considered, a high degree of abstraction, generally stopping at the purely theoretical level, is present. Third, because of the time consuming and tedious work required, they appear to be operationally unfeasible. The method presented in this paper accommodates certain non-linear transportation cost-distance relationships and is operationally feasible in cost-oriented market area analyses.
