论20世纪中国文学城市叙事中的时间母题

现代性是关于时间意识的观念性阐释,而城市则是现代性的载体与集中呈现。文学中的城市书写与现代性的时间观念紧密相连。时间,既规训了城市的演变和现代人的生存方式,也造成了城市文学叙事的多元化与异质性。20世纪中国文学中的城市叙事,一定程度上就是作家关于时间的体验与想象性的表达。时间成为文学中城市叙事的母题,同时母题有关时间的不同表达方式也带来了城市叙事审美上的嬗变。     

Unemployment Insurance and Underemployment

Should unemployment insurance (UI) systems provide coverage for underemployed job seekers? Based on a statistical analysis of Norwegian unemployment spells, we conclude that the answer to this question is yes. Allowing insured job seekers to retain partial UI benefits during periods of insufficient part‐time work not only reduces UI expenditures during the part‐time work period, but it also unambiguously reduces the time until a regular self‐supporting job is found. Probable explanations are that even small temporary part‐time jobs provide access to useful vacancy information and that such jobs are used by employers as a screening device when hiring from the unemployment pool.     

Emergence of entrepreneurial behaviour: The role of age-based self-image

This study introduces an individual’s perception of their entrepreneurial potential in terms of their age (age-based self-image) to complement chronological age as a predictor of entrepreneurial behaviour. The principal hypothesis is that a positive age-based self-image enhances the likelihood of individuals turning their intention to start a business into actual behaviour. The empirical analysis based on data collected on the general adult population of Finland in 2011 and 2012 (n = 672) supports this hypothesis. The analysis further shows that this positive effect is independent of the individual’s chronological age, and it is thus applicable to both age groups that are under-represented in entrepreneurship: ‘youngsters’ and ‘seniors’. Promoting the development of a positive age-based self-image is a prospective policy option for fostering entrepreneurship among younger and older age groups. More in-depth research, especially concerning the antecedents of positive age-based self-image, is required for the effectiveness of such policy interventions.     

艾略特的诗歌创作与批评理论的互动——论《J·阿尔弗雷德·普罗弗洛克的情歌》

《普鲁弗洛克的情歌》将新古典主义与现代西方社会生活的题材相结合,运用"非个性化"理论、客观对应物理论、意象、象征等手法展现出现代人空虚的精神世界,同时也是艾略特批评理论的文本示范。通过该诗对艾略特理论和诗歌文本进行同步分析,为艾略特研究提供一个较新的视角。     

Adaptive wavelet estimation of a density from mixtures under multiplicative censoring

In this paper, a mixture model under multiplicative censoring is considered. We investigate the estimation of a component of the mixture (a density) from the observations. A new adaptive estimator based on wavelets and a hard thresholding rule is constructed for this problem. Under mild assumptions on the model, we study its asymptotic properties by determining an upper bound of the mean integrated squared error over a wide range of Besov balls. We prove that the obtained upper bound is sharp.
